We booked a business class room for one night... - Review of Radisson Blu Hotel, Leeds
“Not all that SASsy....”
DubaiDame
Having read other recent reviews my husband and I decided to stay at the Radisson SAS during a recent trip to Leeds.
We booked a business class room for one night which included breakfast. At £136 a night we didn’t think this was bad value.
The positives were a friendly welcome on checking in, a large clean room, convenient location right in the centre of Leeds and free broadband access.
For us the downsides were possibly most uncomfortable bed I have ever slept in, the TV not working properly and lack of the promised bathrobe and slippers. These were the things that we didn’t notice straight away. We arrived in the afternoon and promptly went out to meet friends in The Light for dinner. By the time we got back to our room it was a little too late to start complaining about the mattress that was very thin and far too soft, the TV not working properly (although there was a notice about the pay TV issues). I would have liked at least be able to change channels and alter the volume!
Then the following morning we went down to breakfast with around half an hour to spare before end of service. This I would not recommend because what was left was either solidified or very greasy if you wanted the hot food. Our order for coffee was taken and then we were ignored for about 10 minutes. There were only another 2 or 3 tables occupied at this point so nobody was rushed off their feet. Other guests were seated while we waited for our coffee and received their hot drinks. My husband had to ask again and finally our coffee arrived.
We have stayed in other Radisson hotels before and never been disappointed but on this occasion we were.
A few nights before this we’d stayed in a Travelodge and received a much nicer breakfast and far better value for money. The bed was comfy and the TV worked properly!
Would we stay at the Radisson SAS in Leeds again? No.
Thank DubaiDame

“nice room pity about the air-con”
“wouldn't stay anywhere else... (in Leeds)”
My other half booked this hotel for my birthday weekend & I was very impressed.
We stayed in a modern, minimalistic room (think it was called electric).
The hotel is within walking distance of the shops (5 mins) so great for shopaholics.
The hotel is in the city centre so you're in the middle of the nightlife so can be a little loud - but this was not an issue for us.
I would highly recommend a visit to ''Anthony's'' restaurant. We have eaten in some of London's top Restaurants (Restaurant Gordon Ramsay, The Square, The Cinamon Club etc) and really rated Anthony's.
Would also recommend a trip to the Gym/ Spa.

“Great hotel, location spot on, fantastic service”
Would definetly reccomend this hotel for either business or leisure.
Myself and my partner went for 2 nights and upgraded to a business room which was very big. Loved the complimentary slippers and dressing gowns!
Good atmosphere, great service all night. Breakfast was served very quickly.
Fantastic break for us! Pitty we can't afford to do it more often

I stay in this hotel quite often when visiting Leeds and it is always excellent. My requests have always been met (early check-in etc) and the rooms are nice, clean with air-con/heating working correctly. Unless they do something drastically wrong I'll continue staying here after trying every other 4* and 5* hotel in Leeds. The one downside - £5 for a pint of lager in the bar is extortionate even by hotel standards. I'm glad my girlfriend was getting ready in the room or they may have ran a credit check before I got a white wine!

Welcome to Growing in Unity Wednesday. This week we have the wonderful Sarah up sharing her Unity creations.
"Hello! My name is Sarah and I LOVE crafting. I dabbled with paper crafts a long time ago-- my sister actually used to rubber stamp when she was in Jr. High and High School and I made fun of her :) Then it wasn't until about 7 or 8 years ago I attended my first in home stamping party that I really loved what I saw, but never thought I could "do that." I would say the last 4 years have been when I have really bloomed in my crafting. It's my relaxation and my creative outlet! I love to make cards! I also will occasionally alter projects as well--it really depends on my mood. I've tried to scrap book but I just can't seem to fall in love with it like I do when making cards or altered projects. I am however, beginning to realize I need to alter more projects versus just buying the items to alter... just don't remind my husband about my composition notebooks please :) I also find that I love punny stamps--love em all! I simply can't say no to a good pun and thank goodness Unity keeps bringing on the awesome puns!
In my spare time I love spending time with my family and friends. I work full-time at a University and that keeps me super busy! So when I'm not working I love going to baseballs games (Go Twins) and I love going to college hockey games (Go Sioux) with my husband. I also enjoy sitting back and sipping on a delicious bubble tea with my bestie!"
Check out this lovely project Sarah created:
Be sure to swing on by Sarah's blog each day this week for more Unity inspiration and a chance to win 2 itty bitty's by leaving Sarah some love! Till next week!
Design Team Tuesday!!!
It's Thienly here with my first DT Tuesday post!
I've been dying to make something Christmas related
(needed a break from Halloween stuff!) and thought that I'd play with one of my recent stamp set purchase, 25 days of Christmas. This set is so my style... a little vintage, and has a good mix of sentiments, images, and of course, pennants!
I had some beautiful Christmas papers from Echo Park (Season's Greetings) that I thought that it would go perfectly with these stamps, and decided to create a bit of a collage kinda card!
I just love making these types of cards - full of embellishments and detail! (It's a great way to show off my Unity stamps, too!)
With the pennants, I paper pierced each that was stamped onto various papers. They look so lovely! Oh, and speaking of pennants... have you seen the NEW Unity Challenge of the Month yet? I'm hosting that one, and it's anything PENNANTS and BANNERS, so yeah, come and link up all those beautiful Unity projects!
I love clustering embellishments together... adds so much interest to the card!
I am all for making handmade Christmas cards and have been doing them for the past 10 years.
"From home to home, and heart to heart, from one place to another
The warmth and joy of Christmas, brings us closer to each other."
Hope that you loved my card, I'll give you the links to the stamps I used in case you want to add them onto your wishlist!
The base of this card comes from this gorgeous Vintage Postcard stamp:
Now, onto something fun! I LOVE looking around Pinterest, Facebook wall, Friends with Flair Fridays, and all the Challenge entries to see what all of YOU are creating! It inspires me greatly!
It was so hard to pick, but there's two that just caught my eye!
One is from the Challenge of the Month entry from Crystal Amaris Creations:
The layout is super fun - I LOVE the colors, the way she used her stamps to make banners and pennants! The preschooler is adorable, and mom even picked the same colors to create her layout! Well done!
The next one is very different from my style, but this is just beautiful! I found it from Friends with Flair Friday post!
This is from Color Outside the Lines, by Tara. I love the color combination here, a
nd how she used distress ink and wet towel to achieve this beautiful blend! Just gorgeous!
That's it for me today! We love it when you share with us any projects that you've made using Unity stamps - so please keep on doing that :)

OP WIFE here! Truth be told my main goal was to make the top page of Reddit because marriage is nice but internet points last a life time.
Also, they were all VERY concerned about upstaging me. I knew I was wearing blue but kept it a secret from everyone except my dressmaker, and my hair and makeup artist. I’d been to almost all their weddings and knew they’d be in white. Plus I’m 5’10. In heels I was 6’1. I told them, “I DARE you to upstage me.”
Edit: needed to heal my spelling

Aguero role in doubt as Jesus saves Man City
Sun Feb 5, 2017 | 5:06pm GMT
Britain Soccer Football - Manchester City v Swansea City - Premier League - Etihad Stadium - 5/2/17 Manchester City's Sergio Aguero in action with Swansea City's Federico Fernandez Reuters / Andrew Yates Livepic
Britain Soccer Football - Manchester City v Swansea City - Premier League - Etihad Stadium - 5/2/17 Manchester City's Gabriel Jesus celebrates scoring their first goal Reuters / Andrew Yates Livepic
LONDON Gabriel Jesus underlined his impressive early form at Manchester City with two goals in a 2-1 win over Swansea City on Sunday but his sparkling emergence has cast doubt over the starting role of talismanic forward Sergio Aguero.The 19-year-old Brazilian again started ahead of the Argentine and turned in another eye-catching performance full of vim and vigour that culminated with a stoppage-time winner. His double took his tally to three goals and two assists in four league and cup games since arriving at the Etihad from Brazilian side Palmeiras last month.Both Sunday's goals came after he was the quickest to react to loose balls and it is his instinctive ability to take up consistently impressive positions that has caused the opposition so many problems during his embryonic City career. "I am very happy to score two goals," Jesus told Sky Sports with team mate Fernandinho acting as translator.
"I got into the team so quickly. Everyone at the club is helping me to get better every day but of course when things like this happen it is much easier."His goals were the highlights of a superb all-round performance full of dangerous movement, smart link-up play, searing pace and a series of silky touches."Gabriel Jesus is strong, fast and has really good movement," City manager Pep Guardiola told the BBC after his side climbed to third. "He has arrived really, really, well. He is Gabriel Jesus. We are happy to have him." Aguero, long considered one of City's most important players, has had to be content with a place on the bench in recent weeks. Manager Guardiola deployed Jesus as his leading man on Sunday in an attacking quintet also including David Silva, Kevin De Bruyne, Raheem Sterling and Leroy Sane.They were irresistible in the first half against Swansea having also terrorised West Ham United during a 4-0 midweek victory. With City pushing for a late winner, Aguero was eventually summoned, to rapturous applause inside the Etihad, and he headed narrowly over after Jesus's winner.As ever Aguero has been in prolific form this season netting 18 times in 25 appearances in all competitions and will no doubt play an important role for the remainder of the season.Yet it remains to be seen if that role is as an impact substitute or as the star attraction he has been since joining the club in 2011.

witches and scientists: Ugh!
It's really hard to envision a candidate more at odds with our beliefs than Sara Palin. Both the Salem Witchcraft Hysteria-grade rantings of her Bishop, and the 'death of the Goddess' intentions offered up by her church were excellently covered over at Wild Hunt (here and here). Palin seems to delight in the desecration of just about every element of earth-based spirituality or science, so I guess she should be given credit for consistency.
The Human Society has recently come out in support of Obama/Biden. Although McSame's record in regards to wildlife is ambivalent at best, Palin's is horrendous:
...Gov. Sarah Palin’s (R-Alaska) retrograde policies on animal welfare and conservation have led to an all-out war on Alaska’s wolves and other creatures. Her record is so extreme that she has perhaps done more harm to animals than any other current governor in the United States. ...Palin engineered a campaign of shooting predators from airplanes and helicopters, in order to artificially boost the populations of moose and caribou for trophy hunters. She offered a $150 bounty for the left foreleg of each dead wolf as an economic incentive for pilots and aerial gunners to kill more of the animals...What’s more, when the Bush Administration announced its decision to list the polar bear as threatened under the Endangered Species Act, Palin filed a lawsuit to reverse that decision...
Posted by genexs at 11:13 AM
To me, Palin is really no different than so many people in the Western world. They've been raised to dominate and subjugate. When this is the norm, it's difficult to expect anything different. And for a "mainstream" (used very lightly!) political leader to support anything otherwise is rare indeed.
September 29, 2008 at 4:08:00 PM EST
Is it wrong to hope she gets eaten by wolves?
If so, I'm just repeating what somebody else thought.
If not... well, payback's a republican VP nominee, you know?
October 6, 2008 at 4:54:00 PM EST
I think the most horrifying thing that could happen to Palin would be enlightenment. I mean, it would be good for us, but I doubt anyone could work through that much guilt.

With ComboBox, its a bit more complicated. The dropDown in a ComboBox, is by default a List, so if we can access the List and then set the above properties, we are done. For this you need to set a dropDownFactory for the ComboBox and then assign the factory object with the above properties that we discussed above for list. Here’s how
private var myDropdownFactory:ClassFactory; Call initApp() method on creationComplete private function initApp():void{
myDropdownFactory = new ClassFactory(List);
myDropdownFactory.properties = {showDataTips:true, dataTipFunction:myDataTipFunction}
} Then set this onto the ComboBox
<mx:ComboBox id=”myCB” dataProvider=”{myDP}” labelField=”name” dropdownFactory=”{myDropdownFactory}”/>
And the myDataTipFunction() looks something like this
private function myDataTipFunction(value:Object):String{
return (value.name+”‘s blog is “+value.blog);
} It looks something like this 🙂
See the application and get the source code on the links below…
I initially thought this should be possible by setting the showDatatips and the dataTipField on the List, but it didn’t work as expected for me. I have logged a bug in the public bugbase…

Posted by raghunt I’m a Flex Evangelist
My benevolent employers at Adobe have fulfilled my dream, and granted me the title of Technical Evangelist in the Flex Product line. I’m really thrilled to be taking up this position… To be part of a team that boasts of names like Ryan Stewart, Ted Patrick, James Ward and Duane Nickull is an honor in itself.
It seems like a long time back that I came into Macromedia and into the Flex team at the fag end of the Flex1.5 cycle. 2 years have gone and we are in the middle of Flex3. To have seen flex grow from a small enterprise product to a hugely popular RIA technology and then progressing onto the desktop with AIR and finally going open-source, has been really emotional journey. Now I start the second leg. But as Spidey says “With great power comes great responsibility!” 🙂
I’ll now be a part of the Tech Evangelism team based out of India which includes Prayank & Ramesh. But my work is not India specific and would love to hear from individuals and communities worldwide. I personally would like to see Flex taking over the world. The potential is really there… as we see by the statistics in India and elsewhere. There are a lot of really knowledgeable people out there, but they need to be brought onto a global platform to interact and innovate. And hopefully I can help.
So if you think you have any idea that can help chalk out that future, feel free to contact me on my personal email id. If you are running a Flex user community in your city or country itself, we would really like to know. Community has been the backbone of the success of all products at Adobe (and erstwhile Macromedia) and its concerns will surely remain as one of our primary concerns in the future too. Now with Flex going open source, I can really say,
Flex is a software of the people,
by the people, for the people !

Posted by raghunt Binding and Unbinding variables in AS3
I had earlier posted a blogpost on Binding in MXML & AS. And I received a comment from Judah Frangipane asking if you can unbind a variable in Flex. So here it is…
The trick is to capture the ChangeWatcher Object that get returned when you use BindingUtils.bindProperty() method. The ChangeWatcher object then has an unwatch() method that can be used to break the watch. If you bind in mxml using the curly brackets unfortunately, this does not work. You might have to break the binding altogether and not be able to turn it on and off.

Posted by raghunt Look Mom… An Apple!
These days I’m trying to get up to speed with AIR (Adobe Integrated Runtime). I have worked analyzing some of the AIR components from the Flex SDK side in the past but never got down to building a good app or even exploring the amazing features that AIR provides… My only meek effort was this 🙂
I was always curious to know how they made those AIR apps that looks like an iPhone or any of the other weired shapes. So I decided to start from there… I found a wonderful set of tutorials by Duane Nickull and ended up making an apple shape app using his tutorials. Here’s what I ended up with…

Posted by raghunt Registering FlexBuilder with serial numbers for multiple versions of SDK
With the advent of FlexBuilder3, Adobe has added a very cool ability to be able to access multiple SDKs and also switch between them. This feature would work for SDK versions of Flex2.0.1 onwards. But this has caused quite an interesting issue to surface. Read about it here…
In short, the problem is as below. I have installed FlexBuilder3 and when it opens up for the first time, I enter my license keys (for the builder as well as for charting). The builder by default, when it starts for the first time, uses Flex3-Moxie framework to compile the projects. I make a project with a chart in it and it compiles and the chart shows up without a watermark.
Now I go and change the SDK to Flex201 and recompile and run the app. But this time, I’m stumped to see that the chart appears with a watermark.
The solution though not apparent is a simple one. There are 2 ways to fix it…
1. Solution for Dummies
Open FlexBuilder
Right Click your Project and choose Properties
Choose Flex Compiler -> Configure SDKs -> Choose Flex201 and press OK
Make sure you have selected “use default sdk” option
Restart FlexBuilder
Choose Help -> Manage Flex Licenses and enter your chart license key again. Press OK. You might get an error at this point, but ignore it.
Re-compile App (better to clean the project) and Enjoy !!!
2. Solution for Geeks (who want to know why it happened !) The reason for this problem is that FlexBuilder uses a license.properties file found in the frameworks directory of the sdk. The sdk’s pre-configured in your FlexBuilder can be found at <FBInstallationDir>/sdks. So when you give the license key for the first time it writes to the license.properties file of the Flex3SDK and not on the Flex2.0.1 SDK. This is why switching the SDK causes the watermark to appear again.
So, another way of fixing this is to copy the license.properties file from Flex3SDK/frameworks directory to the Flex2.0.1 equivalent. And you are ready to develop in full-fledged versions of Flex2.0.1 and in Flex3.

Othello goes Frantic | Down The Rabbit Hole
Othello goes Frantic
February 8, 2015 February 20, 2015 ~ bethsummerfield
When I heard Frantic Assembly’s ‘Othello’ was being performed I was very excited: Shakespeare and Frantic are, for me, a match made in theatre heaven. This award-winning production was originally performed in 2008, but has recently been brought back with a new cast. And I have to say, I wasn’t disappointed.
The lighting and music were used in the same way as in most Frantic Assembly productions. (I know from personal experience, at a workshop by Frantic, that they consider both sound and lights as two extremely important theatrical elements when creating physical theatre.) But what takes centre stage is the movement. From the very start there was an incredible energy from all the actors, and naturally the movements were fascinating to watch. For me, the best scene for physical theatre was the opening scene: it was full of extraordinary moments and constant movements, combined brilliantly with the acting. However, I did feel that as the show continued the physical theatre element began to fade through the second half, which was slightly disappointing.
The acting itself was surprisingly good, particularly when not part of the main action – it felt so realistic, as if they really were just having a conversation with friends at a pub. On the other hand, I did feel that the Shakespearean dialogue sometimes got lost through their diction and their use of accents, which made it slightly harder to follow.
I would like to point out that this version of Othello is not the full Shakespearean play. Instead, it was stripped back to the bare minimum (omitting the long soliloquies of Othello and Iago). I didn’t mind this though! I feel that this way it’s more engaging and appeals more to the younger, modern audience – especially as the majority of the audience was made up of sixth form drama trips.
Overall, this production was a fantastic blend of modern and Elizabethan theatre, and it’s no wonder that Frantic Assembly brought it back!

My friend had Bearglove & when I went to the store I remembered about it. I decided to smell some of the others & Wolfthorn captured my nose. I tend to sweat a lot, & with the winter months coming up (I end up sweating) I figured that I could afford to try something new. The scent is super obvious when you put it on,but even 4-5 hours later I still get occasional whiffs of it.
by Lizan26
When worn this deo gives off a sort of peachy scent, a warm and vivid smell that fits a man who doesn’t need to smell like pure musk to know they are a man. Many women complement this smell because it isn’t overbearing; it’s sweet and nurturing, just like any man should be~

It has become an extraordinary holiday resort for families and young people. Modern and comfortable restaurants which service fresh meals of surf and turf, summer cinemas and must-see bars, and last but not least the incredible beaches, are the ingredient of happiness and enjoyment here!Yannis was a super host supporting us before our arrival and during the stay with kind and reliable advice and help. We also enjoyed the inspiring conversations. The main apartement we used in the Farm Villa was very clean and prepared for our arrival. The three bathes and bedrooms were really big enough for a family with 5 adults. The Souterrain was used by the house keeper so the villa was always watched. The Farm Villa and the entire property is very nice and well-tended. We enjoyed the fresh lemon directly from the trees in front of the house and spend a lot of time in our hammocks under the olive or lemon trees. The view from the balcony was amazing, the different colours of the sea throughout the day were beautiful. The way to the beach was a 5 minutes walk so having a bath in the sea was always possible without much preparation. We used our inflatable SUP to discover the sea and the beaches around. We spend very relaxed holidays in the early seasons where we had all the beaches on our own. With the rental car it was easy to discover the surroundings and by ferry we had the opportunity to visit Athens. Yannis Farm Villa is an excellent location for relaxing and water sports.B2016-05-29T00:00:00ZNo words to describe how wonderful was Yannis's Farm Vila. The house was very clean and everything was ready for our arrival, Yannis was there everytime we needed help or a simple advice and made sure we have all the information needed. First time for us to come to a place which is even better then described on the website. The Pizza oven, the beautiful almost private beach just 5 minutes walk, the lemons and figs straight from the tree and the amazing view from the balcony. the 3 floors and 3 showers and toilets made all six of us feel we have our space when needed and the huge living room and terasse made our time together joyful and pleasant. The place is very well equipped and the host is reliable, kind and absolutely devoted to make your vacation extraordinary. ofri2015-08-11T00:00:00ZWe spent wonderful days in Yannis villa.

The rooms are confortable and each one has a private bathroom. The kitchen is very well equipped and there is the possibility to make a barbecue in the courtyard . The view from the terrace is simply amazing. We used to have drink in front of the sunset ...lovely ! Everything was clean and Yannis is a very Kind host. He welcomed us at our arrival at the port of Nea Stira which is only ten minutes from the house. The nearest beach is just five minutes walk from the house.

The Future and End of Saab | Jim Ellis Automotive Blog
The Future and End of Saab
While many people are still holding a candle for Saab, the reality is that they’ve pretty much come to the end of the road. And unfortunately, it’s not a road untraveled for Saab as they experienced the same financial difficulties a couple of years ago before Spyker came into the fray to save the Swedish automaker. So it’s not surprising that many people are looking into the horizon waiting for the “save” once again, but this time, it doesn’t look like it’s coming. While there is some interest from Chinese investors, the terms of which just can’t be reached.
Saab has a rich and incredible heritage for making amazing vehicles. Jim Ellis Saab has prided ourselves at being lucky enough to have shared that heritage and ingenuity with driver enthusiasts around the state of Georgia and beyond. But now that Saab’s flag sits at half mast, we have to prepare for what looks inevitable at this point. So we created this blog post to share where we are currently and how we plan to proceed as a dealership to our past, present and future Saab customers.
To start, for those that are interested in purchasing a Saab, this is definitely the time to acquire one. The discounts offered are incredibly drastic, but it’s important to also know that at the moment, they won’t come with a warranty and must be sold “as is”, but Jim Ellis Saab of Atlanta will still perform the repairs and maintenance items as you would expect. Jimmy Ellis gives the official statement here. You can also find all of the latest news available from SCNA (Saab Cars North America) here.
The gist of it is if you have already purchased a Saab from Jim Ellis Saab (new or Certified Pre-Owned), the dealership will honor the warranty. If you have a Saab that you did not purchase through Jim Ellis Saab, then we’ll do the repairs for you and process the claim for you as we normally would, but you will be asked to pay for the repairs. You would simply hold onto your receipts until they hopefully put a method of reimbursement into play. This is something that’s typically done by the bankruptcy judge, but it hasn’t occurred yet and there are no guarantees that it will.
Needless to say, we are very disheartened that Saab wasn’t able to make any progress in the talks. And that’s not to say that there won’t be before all is said and done, but at this time, it’s not looking that promising. There comes a time when all you can do is just reminisce and hope for the best. | [

Toast and Tables: Gaia & Gino puts "Turkish delight" in tableware!
Gaia & Gino puts "Turkish delight" in tableware!
One of the things I really love about blogging is the ability to meet "new" people from all over the world. She's in Istanbul and I'm in New York City; the ocean may divide us; but this incredible medium brought us together. Please allow me to share an email that I received from Eda Suner from Turkey recently:
"Hi Sarah I'm from Turkey Istanbul. I like your post I see it everyday :) This is for you... This link is about me and my husband (If you want to write it of course you can. :) - xoxo Best Regards, Eda Suner ".
Eda, thank you for visiting Toast and Tables and thank you for sharing the links. Eda's site is fantastic, darn I wish I could read turkish!!! (Eda you're going to have to translate some of your site for me, especially the toasted message and the bandana table runner, smile). - p.s. did you and your husband register at Pasabahce?
(above: The designs of Pasabahce, shows the taste for decoration is alive today. The brand is loved for its affordable finds and limited-edition glassware alike. Their shop is the spot for Turkish brides to register).
I wanted to take some time out to show a lot of love to Istanbul. This city is being reborn as a hot spot for shopping, dining, and modern design and one of the companies leading this rebirth is Gaia & Gino. I saw Gaia & Gino at the New York Gift show this summer and was stopped dead in my tracks, the product is unbelievable!!!! (pictures can not do it justice). Creating future design classics, Gaia & Gino is an award-winning Turkish home accessories brand with unconventional, innovation and emotional products.
(above: CALI - A gestural line that consists of 3 small budvases inspired by Ottoman calligraphy which can be seen in Turkish museums and mosques) .
Gaia & Gino - - - named for founder Gaye Cevikel's nickname and her dog Gino is known for creating gorgeous objects within a traditional context and has resulted in partnerships with some of the world's foremost design influentials.
(above: CEREMONY - Flower sticks made of Pyrex tubes. These sticks help you to have flowers at home at any time, filling the vase).
Designers such as Andree Putman, Arik Levy, Karim Rashid and Yves Behar were asked to translate the turkish forms into a sophisticated, innovative and intelligent product.
(above: LUCKY - Inspired by the patterns of the old Turkish figurative arts. The famous clove shape has been cleverly converted into a beautiful porcelian vase and bowl set. Shown with "Galactica'' centerpiece and "Creemy" tea and coffee set).
(above: WIKKED - A glass encased flame that playfully sits on the table. With its ever changing shape from every point of view it captures the viewer’s attention and radiates within the room. One hole is nice; but two holes are wikked. This candle also comes in black and can't you imagine this on a "halloween" themed table setting! Shown with ''Volcano" glasses).
(above: GIANTS - Created from clear crystal and named after natural crystal formations, take your pick from Herkimer and Heliodor. Heliodor is a yellow variety of beryl found near Rossing, Namibia and is prized as a gemstone. Herkimer is an exceptionally clear quartz crystal from Herkimer County, New York State, USA. The Giant Giants Mega Heliodor 8 shown above is exclusive to Moss. Shown with ''Snob'' glasses).
For more on Istanbul, House & Garden magazine does a incredible profile on the city in this month's issue, click here to check out the slide show and Vivre has also put together a deco guide full of Turkish delight.

I can translate every posts of me for you, just give me a list :) My email address is: edademirel1@gmail.com. I would like to introduce you to my Turkish friends if you approve, especially candidates for marrying in near future... They will love your blog. Also thanks for your compliments. Let's keep in touch. Warm regards from Turkey Istanbul. Eda Suner
Eda, thanks for writing in. Of course you can introduce Toast and Tables to your Turkish friends, I would consider it a priviledge. So much design inspiration is coming out of Istanbul these days I would love to connect with some "soon 2 be brides" to check out what they love and to see what items they're registering for!
I'll send you a email with the post that I would like for you to translate.
Be well, I'll talk to you soon.

Peace in an Unknowing Time

When you are praying about something that is important to you and you need answers. And the Bible App scriptures of the day come in this succession, I think God is reminding me to trust, pray, wait, keep my hope in him, and give him praise while he works it all out.
John 14:1 – Let not your heart be troubled
2 Peter 3:9 – The Lord is not slack concerning his promise
Ephesians 3:20 – [pray] unto him that is able to do exceedingly abundantly above
Psalms 46:10 – Be still and KNOW that I am God
Psalms 105:1 – Give thanks unto the Lord.
While it may be a coincidence that the scriptures have come in this order at this time, but God can speak to the heart in many ways. Thankful for peace in an unknowing time.
New Year, New Creature
January 1, 2017 in Bible Scripture, Call to Action, Examination, forgiveness, God, Hope, Love, promises, Relationships, Salvation, Something to Ponder, Vessels | Tags: 2 corinthians 5, all things new, challenge, change, examination, habits, improvements, new creature, new years | Leave a comment
As we draw to the close of another year, I like many, have been reflecting on the past year and making plans for the next. As I look back there are areas that I am pleased with and some places that I am not so much. Some areas where I regressed and still more that there have been improvements. I see room to grow. I see how I stunted my growth with bad habits. I see changes that need to be made. I see an opportunity to make a change, to be a new creature.
I read the scripture this morning in 2 Corinthians 5:17,
Therefore is any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
Many times we liken this change from old to new at first salvation. There is a crisis moment, Jesus comes down, and a change is made. It is used to encourage someone that had experienced much sin and because of God’s grace, Jesus sacrifice, they no longer have to partake in the same activities.
But today, as I was reflecting on the new year, I saw it as an opportunity. Even as saints of God, we can become a new creature. If we aren’t satisfied with our service to God, our health, our habits, our attitudes, our outreach, our kindness, our relationships, our “fill in the blank”, we can make the change.
We can have a crisis moment in the middle of our salvation. Salvation isn’t stagnate, it is an evolving status. We can draw closer to God. We can make better choices for our health. We can change our habits and attitudes. We can be more kind and loving. We can forgive. We can improve our relationships… We can change.
This year, starting today, I vow to myself and to God, changes will be made. I am not looking at an easy road ahead. I have some habits to break and new ones to make. I have some flesh to crucify. I am some time to give. I have some reaching out to do. I have some inconvenient love to show. I have some early nights to bed and some early mornings to rise. I have better eating choices to make. I have some physical activity to be endured. I have some better house keeping practices to instill. I have some listening to do. I have some purging of clutter. I have some better time management skills to work on. I have some ground to conquer. I have some victory to gain.
This isn’t just a New Year’s Resolution that is forgotten and unfulfilled, it is a promise. These are goals. I have written many down. And as more come to me, more changes that need to be made, I will write those down to. I am a work in progress, allowing God to mold and shape me into the person he wants me to be.
October 27, 2016 in Bible Scripture, Call to Action, Encouragement, Examination, forgiveness, God, Relationships, Something to Ponder, trust, Victory | Tags: challenge, devotions, fighting, prayer, scripture, victory | Leave a comment
When I woke this morning I turned to my phone and Bible app to get some thoughts for the day. My app has a daily scripture widget that I subscribe to. Today’s scripture was Psalms 116:1-2. As I read it and the rest of the chapter, I had a marginal relation to the passage. But it was in the past. Before when I cried to the Lord he heard me, but not now. Not that he doesn’t hear me now, but that I was crying to him. It wasn’t a “yes, this is God now” agreement with the scriptures. I read through, thought a bit, went back and read a couple a second time, searching for something to meditate on through the day and nothing really settled. I said a quick prayer for help this day and went on my way.
This is how it has been lately. A struggle to read and pray, feeling a loss of connection, mostly out of duty even though a desire is there. An overwhelming sleepiness in the morning that hinders an early rise, a couple quick scriptures and prayer as one goes through the daily routine.
But who can thrive or survive off of crumbs? You can’t physically or spiritually. In all honesty, I have always struggled with getting up early enough in the morning to set aside time for God. I have justified it in many ways over the years. While I have admired those that do and longed for it, the many times I have made a point to change, it only lasts for a short period of time.
A while back I asked a friend to check on me. To ask how my morning devotions were going. To hold me accountable. I got the question today. I didn’t have a good report. I was honest, they have been awful of my own fault. I thought on it through the day. Why is it so difficult to get up? It’s not like the last broken 30 minutes of sleep are all that great. And while I don’t have a good reason, I can say that I’m ready.
Ready to set time aside. Ready to deny myself for “just a couple more minutes” . Ready to go deeper. Ready for the victory. You see, I spent some time tonight with God. I listened to a couple old messages. Words from the past on the man with the line, holding it out there for us to come through. On victory, knowing the enemy, whose side you are on and why you are fighting. And on the surface these don’t have much to do with devotions, they clarified things in my mind. I went to prayer, I want God to draw out that line and I’m headed to meet it. I’m ready to go step by step deeper until I’m Swimming. I know whose side I am on. I know what he has done for me and I know who, what and why I am fighting. God is so good.
So when I read Psalms 116 tonight, it was deep. I could say “yes, this is God now” I cried unto him and he heard me. He made a way, he listened, he showed mercy, he forgave, he gave power. From searching for current relevance to a soul amen, what a difference 16 hours makes. . .
Psalms 116:1-19 – I love the Lord , because he hath heard my voice and my supplications. Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call upon him as long as I live. The sorrows of death compassed me, and the pains of hell gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow. Then called I upon the name of the Lord ; O Lord , I beseech thee, deliver my soul. Gracious is the Lord , and righteous; yea, our God is merciful. The Lord preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and he helped me. Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for the Lord hath dealt bountifully with thee. For thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, and my feet from falling. I will walk before the Lord in the land of the living. I believed, therefore have I spoken: I was greatly afflicted: I said in my haste, All men are liars. What shall I render unto the Lord for all his benefits toward me? I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the Lord . I will pay my vows unto the Lord now in the presence of all his people. Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints. O Lord , truly I am thy servant; I am thy servant, and the son of thine handmaid: thou hast loosed my bonds. I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of the Lord . I will pay my vows unto the Lord now in the presence of all his people, In the courts of the Lord’s house, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Praise ye the Lord .
A Psalm in Jonah 2

Last night, during Bible Study, we continued in Jonah, a deeper look into Chapter 2. In class, these scriptures were compared to a soul in sin. How lost and desperate they are for help. Their search for God, that spark of hope, the surrender to him and their deliverance.
But this wasn’t my experience. I made the decision at a young age and throughout time to serve God. I wasn’t bound and miserable in sin. I was 8 years old.
To me, this passage resembled a saint, overwhelmed by life, in the depths of grief, going through a valley, a time where you can’t feel God, a season of waiting, a trial of faith, CRYING out to God. Looking to him to him for help. Through the discussion and thought it struck me that, with slight alteration (removing the part about the fish’s belly and being spit up on dry land) it could be relocated to the Psalms. It reads:
Jonah 2: Then Jonah prayed unto the Lord his God out of the fish’s belly,
I wonder if Jonah read the Psalms, if the words of David resonated with him as he searched his soul, as he desperately went before God, taking responsibility for his actions, and agreeing to follow through with his vow. His purpose of fulfilling God’s will for Nineveh.
Last week, out of the depths of my soul, I cried unto the Lord. I was overwhelmed and felt like I was drowning. I recognized that I could not continue on my own strength. I did not have that ability. Through a scripture, a reminder to rely on God’s strength, his help through the day, gave me something to hold on to. A hope that this is for a reason, that it won’t be forever, that his strength and grace are ALWAYS sufficient.
Trust = Perfect peace and everlasting Strength

The service this morning was opened with a song of Joy. And while we have sung it hundreds of times, the second verse jumped out at me.
“I still have Peace.
I still have Peace.
After all the things I have been through,
I still have Peace.”
Do I still have peace? Just last night I read of Perfect Peace. I was still thinking on it this morning. What is this peace? This Perfect Peace?
The scripture reads “Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee. Trust ye in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength” Isaiah 26:3-4.
As I reread this passage I realize that it is more than just the people of God speaking of God, but singing of him. This is a song of confidence in God’s provision and care.
Thou, God, will keep him, me, in perfect peace, when I keep my mind on you, when I trust in you. My Trust in the Lord must endure for in the LORD is everlasting strength.
So my trust, utter dependence, reliance, belief in, confidence on God will provide me with perfect peace, not a little bit of peace or shattered peace or broken peace or incomplete peace, but perfect, whole, complete, enough, abundant peace. Abandoning my life in God’s hands gives me a peace that is all I need.
And that isn’t all we get in return for placing our wants, desires, hurts, pains, questions, ambitions, families, loves, on God, he gives us strength to continue to trust him. This strength is everlasting, not just for today, this hour, this trial, the well won’t run dry. The strength of God that he gives in exchange for trust is EVERLASTING. It is of God, there is no beginning and no end. It is eternal strength.
In need of Peace, in a strength drought? Why not Trust in God Again?
“Is there a mountain standing in your way
Is there a loved one you’re worried about today
Is there a blessing you desire that seems intangible
Instead of giving up the fight
Cling to faith with all your might
The One who’s seen you through before is still able
(He’s still able.)
Why not trust God again
I know that he can do it
If I pray again, believe again
My God will work it for my good again
I know that He will see me through it all
If I trust in God again.”
Kurt Carr – Why Not Trust God Again Lyrics | MetroLyrics
Why NOT trust God again? He has proven himself Faithful. | [

Flooding of The Nile - The Nile River
Every year in mid-July, the Nile River would rise and flood Egypt. The flood was so consistent that the ancient Egyptians knew when it would come and their prosperity depended on when the flood would come, and how much water it would yield (Feeney, 2006). They developed a system of storing grain during years of prosperity to safeguard against the years when the floodwater did not rise high enough and they would experience a famine (Feeney, 2006). The flooding of the Nile was just an ordinary event in ancient Egyptian life.
The flooding of the Nile has been blamed for the sinking of two ancient cities, Eastern Canopus and Herakleion, although some argue that an earthquake was the culprit (Stanley, 2001). The cities were discovered in 1999 and 2000 during a diving exploration in Egypt’s Abu Qir Bay 1, and excavation has revealed bases of temples, columns, and statues; and Stanley (2001) points to records of Nile flow in Cairo as evidence that the cities were buried in a flood somewhere around 1,250 years ago. However, not everyone thinks the Nile is responsible. In an article Did Nile flooding sink two ancient cities?, Rushi Said (2002) argues with Stanley’s view, saying that the Canopic branch of the Nile, had dried out 200 years before the cities disappeared. Said (2002) points out that the Nile’s flooding was a welcome event, and that no cities would have been caught so suddenly.
Whether Said or Stanley are correct in their beliefs of what happened to bury the cities, it is true that Egyptians prepared for these floods and indeed prospered because of them. They harvested crops before the predictable floods, and rejoiced in the rich deposits of black soil the flood would leave behind and prepared for the years when too much or too little water would bring harm (Hoyt, 2008).
If the Nile River used to consistently flood, one might ask what happened? No, the floods did not stop coming. The people found a way to harness nature in the 19th century by beginning to build dams to control the flooding – at the price of the rich deposits of soil they replace with fertilizer (Hoyt, 2008). The Egyptians are thriving, but what is the cost of their control of the river to the other countries that the Nile effects? | [

Stuff could always be worse: Our Daughter Returns Home!
Kim - Kim Standard at 10:25 AM
cosmic_girluk said...
It's great that your daughter had the chance to travel and widen her perspective.
I wonder, did she bring home information about CCSVI?
Dr Paolo Zamboni (a vascular professor) has discovered tht blood caught in the brain which doesn't drain properly is a BIG factor in the onset of MS (my nemesis!). Please look into it - the procedure to alleviate/solve the problem is being performed in India, Mexico, Bulgaria, Poland, Australia and (soon-to-be) Scotland.
You can find me on Facebook for more information.
http://www.facebook.com/?sk=messages#!/group.php?gid=190973523058&ref=ts
Yay that she is back and I bet she had a ton of fun!
I know you are happy she is back safe and sound...and full of stories...
How are you doing? So glad your daughter had a great trip, i'm sure she took lots of wonderful photo's and will have memories to last a lifetime! that is the one thing that i regret in my life, i wished i had traveled before i got married... anyhow, someday! lol glad she is home safe and sound!
You must be so happy to have your daughter home! I trust she had a wonderful trip.
Memories! Yay! and Mexican food-how American can you get :)
What a wonderful experience for her. When our daughter went to Spain to school, I worried about her but the growth and changes in her were much more than what she could have gotten here at home.
I didn't realize your daughter's name is Leah. That's the name of one of my granddaughters....Leah May. It's a beautiful name.
I know when my brother rode his bike to Florida from Ohio. He has the most amazing stories to tell now. I'm so glad your daughter is home now. | [

Compass Points~ Mapping the Way: July 2015
I have heard stories of "homing." "Homing" is the practice - or event- of finding home. Of coming home. Some definitions of "homing" point to the inherent ability of one to find a place of origin- 'een traveling through unknown territory- think of homing pigeons. A couple of weeks ago I posted a message on FaceBook that our cat had escaped from the condominium that we're renting. I was stupid enough to take her outside before she was fully settled and a sudden noise startled her and she bolted. I was just short of frantic; this cat is really my husband's cat and here I was in PA (he was still in CT) and I'd lost the cat and I couldn't imagine how she'd find her way back to our condo... our place... that looked exactly like the other 200 brick-faced, cement-patioed places in this development. I fretted. I paced. I called my husband. And the cat came back an hour later. She slipped in the narrow opening of the screen door, cool as a cucumber, as though nothing unusual had happened. Homing. My posting of this story on FaceBook elicited a great number of responses- many of them with homing stories of other cats and dogs gone astray. My favorite one was about the cat who ran away and 7 months later returned... on Easter. An appropriate liturgical homing.
I was out on a bike ride this morning. I like to walk, run and bike around the "neighborhood" of our condo complex. I'm fascinated with how people personalize their small plots of land to make them their own. There are garden statues of Mary, mini windmills, short trellises with climbing vines, annual flower beds and wind chimes. Our next door neighbor has a pink flamingo standing in a large grecian urn with tropical flowers spilling out of the top. Anything goes, it seems. And all of it in an effort to "make home." I joined the game and found a solar charged lucite hummingbird that floats over our patio at night, changing color every three seconds. It's a happy little thing. And while these talismen help to project our identity and claim our space, to "make home," there is a deeper source of identity in which I find the ultimate "homing:" The homing in God. I could not help but think, this morning, as I rode around cul de sac after cul de sac, of the worlds of Augustine: "Thou hast formed us for Thyself, and our hearts are restless till they find rest in Thee." (Confessions, Book 1)
Lord of all grace, your hands swift to welcome,
your arms to embrace; Be there at our homing and give us we pray, your love in our hearts, Lord,
My grandmother called it a “snippet.”
In seminary, I learned the Greek word, “pericope.”
In the past two weeks, I’ve been dealing in snippets… pericopes… of the life and times of the
Episcopal Church in Central Pennsylvania and assembling a new life for myself
in a place that is brand new to me by collecting experiential snippets.
Snippets and pericopes are bits. Bits of stories, bits of scripture, things
(words, stories, experiences and places) that are not fully representative of
the whole to which they belong, but are integral
tads that tell part of the story.
When we go to church on a Sunday, we hear the lessons from
scripture and they are small snippets of much larger books. Sometimes- most usually, in the epistles and
the gospels- we hear these lessons seriatum:
week by week we get the next part of the story, in order, eventually making our
way through the book. In this season of
the church year after Pentecost, we also have the option of making our way
through a book of the Hebrew Scriptures (the first lesson) in a seriatum manner, as well. At other times
of the year, these first lessons are usually selected to illuminate the
gospel. But even seriatum
reading of scripture in church on Sunday is a little maddening. Who remembers from week to week what we
heard… last Sunday? What if we miss a week? Is it helpful to hear only part of the story? If we follow the Daily Office, those of us
with “advancing age memories” have a better chance of stringing the story
together - the story advances day by day, and the developing story is easier to
follow. These days, as I read Morning
Prayer I’ve been enthralled, again, at the stories of David, Samuel and Saul;
this morning Saul came to a bloody end at the tip of his own sword, unwilling
to fall to the Philistines. Heavy stuff
to digest before one’s even finished the first cup of coffee.
As I make my way around town, I am collecting snippets of experience that are informing
my impression of Harrisburg and Central PA… and guiding my way forward as I
(we) choose a place to live. I
discovered St. Thomas Coffee Roasters at the rotary in Linglestown. Delicious coffee; soft sofas; generous pieces
of custardy quiche; a cozy, hip vibe and a generous front porch on which to sit
and watch the world go by. I got to
drive from Mount Hope back to Harrisburg last Sunday through some amazing farmland.
The clouds were puffy white, the silos stood in the center of the farm like
sentries, keeping watch; the fields went on and on and on in wavy rows of corn,
not quite as high, yet, as a elephant’s eye. It was a pastoral “snippet” that made my heart sing. I found the post office on Jonestown Road and
mailed a package.. Now, this is not an award-winning achievement (and, truth be
told, my GPS got me there) but it is another snippet. Another dot. Another piece of putting a life together here, in a new place, that goes
into the mix of experience, and adds up. Next time, I won’t need the GPS.
Most importantly, I’ve
been listening to stories. Stories
of diocesan leaders, parishes, bishops, events and places that are helping me
to form a picture of this place where God has sent me to lead. I’ve heard about church picnics, concerts,
floods, people rallying together to support the sick, and joining together to
build parish houses. I’ve heard about
youth events, mountain bands, vacation bible schools, choirs and
preachers. I’ve heard some stories of betrayal, disappointment and loss. And I’ve heard snippets of great joy, delight
and deep satisfaction. These are pericopes
of the past, mostly, and they are helping me to understand where you’ve
been. No one story tells it all. And every story is essential.
to the day when I can tell some
stories. When I can share my
snippets of life here, as an Episcopalian in Central PA. and know that they are
part of the whole truth. But now, I’m collecting- snippets, bits, tads, pericopes. And it is all good. I’m listening..
.and I’m learning.
Ponder about the stories that you might tell about what you’ve seen… about the place that you hold as your own in this collective
story. What pericope is yours? Which snippet do you claim as integral to the
story of you and your community? And
what might someone “from away” learn from you- only you- that is important and essential?
dimly, but then we will see face to face. Now I know only in part; then I will
know fully, even as I have been fully known. 1 Corinthians 13: 12
These words of St. Paul wind up his “Hymn to Love” - part of
Paul’s first letter to the new Christians in Corinth. In this letter, Paul has been working to call
the Corinthians back to basics- they’ve been distracted by the splendor of the
many gifts of the Spirit and in this letter Paul is trying to re-ground them in
the fundamental principles of the Jesus Movement: Faith, Hope and Love… and he teaches “…the
greatest of these is Love.” (I Cor. 13:13)
The part of this letter that has resonated with me this week
is the verse about seeing in the mirror. Older versions of scripture use the phrase, “...for now we see in a glass, darkly….” (which strikes me as a little more mysterious
and antique) but really, either of these translations capture quite well, my
experience of this past week: Now that I
am here, in Central PA, I am beginning to see, face to face, the beauty and the
gifts of this place and the work to which you have called me. One week ago, my husband Glenn and I waved goodbye to the 18
wheeler in our CT driveway and watched as it lumbered out of our driveway and
down the narrow street (barely missing
the power lines and our neighbor’s parked car). Inside this truck was nearly everything we owned. We waved goodbye and I held a slip of paper
in my hand with a scrawled address of a storage facility in Camp Hill, PA; that’s
where our “inventory” would rest until we came to call for it. The next day, Saturday, we loaded up a
rental van with the remainder of our things (the “basics” that we thought we’d
need for our temporary rental unit- clothes, pots and pans, linens, office
supplies) and we found our way to Rt. 8 and to Rt. 84, to Rt. 684, to the Saw Mill Parkway, over the “Tap,” through New
Jersey, and… finally, to PA. I was
sad. Sure, I was sad. I’d lived in CT
for 52 years. We’d lived in our community for 30 years and were leaving
friends, family and a happy life. But we
were, finally, going to see what it was that we figured was God’s next idea for
us: ministry in Central PA.
Finally, after more than a year of thinking, dreaming,
reading, talking and praying about this place and this call… we were going to
get started. In this past week, I have begun to get a clearer vision of
the work ahead. I’ve settled in, some,
at Pine St. and I have begun to figure out some of the essentials: Pine Street is a one-way street. Cats do not abide harnesses and leashes (a
story that deserves a blog post all of its own). Duke’s mayonnaise may become
the replacement for my beloved Cain’s.
The office staff has been incredibly welcoming and I’m
beginning to find my way around that old mansion that has more nooks and
crannies than an English muffin. I asked
Carolyn to hold off making any “outside” appointments for me in this first week
so that I could get my bearings and I have spent time with Bishop Gepert and
staff members trying to catch up on the “work in progress.” One thing that I want to acknowledge and
honor is that while I have been sitting in CT for more than a year dreaming
about this place and, even more, for the past 4 months since the election,
making plans… you have been here, in PA, worshipping, working, singing,
praying, and participating in the mission of God, all along. I am hardly coming to “get started” with you
as much as I am coming to wade in the water with you, and join in the ministry
and life that God is already working in you, for the sake of Jesus and by the
I have ideas. Sure, I
do. And my first idea is to get to know
you. To see you, face to face. Some of
my early initiatives will be to engage a more compact visitation schedule so
that I can be with you in your parishes as frequently as the calendar will
allow. I’m hoping for a more robust
visitation experience that (more often than not) will allow for an “overnight”
visitation with a dinner or meeting or fellowship event on Saturday afternoon,
leading up to Sunday morning. I’m
working to find space in my calendar to include some 3-day Convocation “tours”
in which the members of each Convocation can plan a “field trip” for me to show
me their particular part of the diocese, and, even sooner, I am looking forward
to the “Meet and Greets” that each Convocation is setting up for us in August
to spend time together and to begin to get to know each other. For me, the Church is
the people. You’ve called me to lead the
Church in the Episcopal Diocese of Central PA- to listen for God’s Word to us
and to find ways for us to best
participate in God’s mission of reconciliation and restoration. I am thrilled that the time has arrived. I am ready to meet you, to hear your stories
of success, to learn about the sticking places and disappointments, to craft a
way forward and, above all, to remain close to what St Paul – and Jesus- would
hold up as True: Faith, Hope and Love. | [

You may have started wondering if I was still writing this blog. The answer is yes but I’ve been busy. I recently started a new job – as a volunteer manager. It’s a crazy busy time of the year and I’m learning a new job so it’s been keeping me pretty busy. In addition to my new job, I am still working at the hotel. I also have some blogs I need to write for another nonprofit agency. Until my life settles into my “new normal”, this blog will have to hold you over for a little while til I have more time to bake than just throwing a frozen pizza in the oven. It’s times like this when I wonder how people juggle work, family, and still have the energy to do fun things.
I’m super excited to share this recipe with you because it is just four ingredients. It’s a super easy and very delicious dessert.

Mix milk and pudding. Add box of cake mix and stir. Pour into 9 x 13 pan. Scatter with chocolate chips. Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes.
I used sugar free pudding. I think you could also use a sugar free cake to make it healthier.
I used skim milk and it still turned out fluffy. I think I cooked it for 25 minutes to prevent it from burning.
I also cut the amount of chocolate chips to 3/4 c. and it still had a great chocolate flavor.

I’m not exactly sure what recipe I was looking for when I ran across this recipe on The Cooking Channel’s website. It is a Hungry Girl (2010) recipe so you know she has turned one of your favorites into a healthier snack. This recipe reminded me of those Warm Delights by Betty Crocker. This homemade version is probably cheaper and super quick. Enjoy!

As it IS. A journal by Adwait D: Picasso vs. Modigliani
Picasso vs. Modigliani
I have recently seen many paintings of Picasso and Modigliani, online of course. I wish to share with you what i feel about them. I am no art critic so please bear with my ignorance if i have missed out on anything.
Modigliani had a deep respect for Picasso as an artist. He used some aspects of Picasso's cubism, and the way Picasso would depict his artistic friends during his blue period would remain one of the main themes in Modigliani's own work.
Picasso's style is a fascinating synthesis of many of the important styles in modern art, in which he "borrowed" from many of his contempories, and in Modigliani's case he would borrow from a man who had initially borrowed from him.
No-one neither disputes the expressionist quality of Modigliani's art, nor will many disagree that Vincent van Gogh is the arch-father of expressionism. It therefore seems unlikely that Van Gogh was not a major influence on Modigliani and there is ample evidence that he was.
I am now studying the CUBISM style of painting invented by Georges Braque and Picasso.

the knack: Cover Up in a Snap with Cleava
Cover Up in a Snap with Cleava
I always, always want to dress appropriately. I wear knee-length Mad Men-type dresses or modern pant suits to meetings. No cleavage, no nothing.
But some of my tops and dresses are a little low cut for during the day. We're not talking Jersey Shore popping-out kind of thing, but enough that I need something to cover up and look professional.
Up until now, I've been wearing tight, bodice-tight bandeau tops and layers camisoles and tanks underneath my dresses and tops. The problem with these options is either I can't breathe or I get rolls underneath my top or dress from my underthing bunching.
Then I found Cleava and all my wardrobe malfunctions disappeared!
First of all, I have to tell you that it looks much better in person, than on the website or packaging. And secondly, once you use it, your wardrobe options will double, maybe even triple.
I love that you can put it on before or after you get dressed, so you really can go from the office to drinks on the patio in one fell swoop! Here's a video on how it works. It's so easy: the triangle-shaped fabric (it kind of looks like a thong) snaps into place around your bra straps and through the front part, in between the cups. This gives you a smart straight line across the top of your chest, keeping your cleavage undercover until you decide to reveal it.
And the best part? You no longer have to wear an entire other layer under your outfits (just think of how much cooler you'll be in this sweltering heat!). There is no bunching or bulging of tops or underthings. It stays in place even when you don't, so you don't have to ever readjust your clothes again.
I got the Original Classic in Black, but I'm telling you - I'd love a bunch of 'em to extend my wardrobe through the seasons. Just imagine the possibilities: different colours, different materials - lace, rhinestones, ooh la la!
Cleava is a complete wardrobe saver. My dresses and tops that I could only wear out after work? Now they're doing double duty. All thanks to this little fashion hero. | [

Mommy and the Sin City: August 2013
Last time we bought a 50-pack of diapers, I decided this was the last of it. We switched Mia to pull ups when she moved up to the 2 year old class, because they informed us that the teacher would automatically put her on their little bitty toilet every time she had a wet diaper, just to get her used to it. 3 months later, her teacher told us that she was OK with us dropper her off in undies, if we wanted to.
I take that as a gentle nudge to get this transition done already. So, for the past few Saturdays and some Friday afternoons, I've been letting Mia go diaper free all morning, and having her sit on her potty every 20 minutes or so. After the umpteenth time I'd interrupt her activities to sit her on that little frog-shaped toilet without her actually going, she'd start getting real annoyed with me. And vice versa. I would get super frustrated that she'd wet herself within 5 minutes after I just took her to sit down, so I gave up after 2 sets of undies. This weekend, I told myself to just give it one more chance past the 2 accidents.
After that second one, I watched her like a hawk. Like a weird stalker hawk continuously staring at my daughter's crotch. But, the weird crotch stares paid off when I was able to grab her just as I saw a TINY speck of moisture and run to the potty. It scared the crap out of her, and she was super upset with me, but once she calmed down, she did it. She finished up in the potty, and we celebrated and cheered, and gave her some candy. And with that - she understood what the potty was for! We continued with undies until around noon. She had one more accident, but tinkled in the potty many more times. So, challenge continues, but at least she knows what we want when we put her down on the potty now!
We've been continuing training every evening after she gets home from daycare, and while we have yet to do a successful #2 in the pot, things are still going pretty well (she waits to #2 until she's got a pull up on...). The tentative goal is to go pull-up free all weekend, except for night time and naps. So, here it goes!
For a bit of light reading...
Since I haven't picked up a non-study guide book in over 6 months, one of the things on my post-bar list was: Read fiction. With that being the first criteria, there are several others that I had to impose on my tired, overcrowded brain. Easy, unrelated to my life, and nothing that would even remotely qualify as "literature". First up, the Beautiful Creatures series, also known as the Caster Chronicles, though I had no idea of what in the world that meant at the time I downloaded it onto my Kindle. It's a young adult (Easy = check!) series of 4 books which I believed to be a love story between a human and a witch (unrelated to my life = check!). You know, Twilight meets Harry Potter (not literature = check!).
Not surprisingly, I finished the first book by Monday evening and it was extremely satisfying. There really is nothing like losing yourself in one of these books! More Twilight than Harry Potter, but the heroine is significantly less annoying than Edward and Bella, which, in my opinion, the biggest downfall of the Twilight series. It has its roll-your-eyes moments, but overall, it is exactly what I needed. Next on the list, the Divergent series!
Oh, on a side note, I've decided to stop making the bracelets from my Etsy Shop, so I discounted the bracelets to cost, and hope to close out my inventory before moving on to something new. So take a look at anything you might have liked before, and buy it at a much lower price!
I have several posts started in my draft folder that were soooo depressing that I couldn't even finish typing them. I mentioned briefly in my first post-bar post that I was having trouble adjusting to life post-bar. I'm finally adjusting from my postBARtum depression. (GET IT? I'm funny.)
In this moment, I can hardly explain how I was feeling, but I seriously struggling. I would look up from whatever I was doing, and say "Ughhh, I'm struggling", silently and to myself, of course. But today, after taking a sick day to take Mia to the doctor for a long-time cough, things seem... better. For no good reason, they just seem better.
All the things I was sad about before? They're still there. Whether I want to check job postings, find out whether I could work with a recruiter, whether I want to ask for a raise... all those things are still there, still problems. But I don't feel them physically weighing down on me the way I have in the past couple of weeks.
I'm adjusting - waiting, knowing that however difficult it can be, we're getting there. B and I go to bed every night giggling about something cute and funny Mia did that day. Last night, we were a bit more sentimental than usual and asked each other how we could have gotten so lucky with our little one. So sweet and so fiesty, so smart and so silly. Are all parents this obsessed with their children? He said probably. I said I hoped so.
PS - MPRE tomorrow! And then, finally, I will get to the books waiting for me on my Kindle.
The big girl bed adventures
The second your kid turns two, that magic number seems to trigger a series of milestones that everyone believes you should start achieving. Mia turned two a couple of months ago, but those two months were filled with stacks of bright orange BarBri books, streaming lectures, highlighters and flashcards (one flashcard was devoted to a list of said milestones awaiting bar completion). And this weekend, we started on one of the items: transitioning Mia into a regular bed.
Mia wakes up almost every morning, crying. If she wakes up at night for any reason, she's also crying. I read somewhere that though most parents take their kid falling from their crib when trying to climb out as the sign to switch to a bed, sometimes a toddler still waking up crying can be a sign that they are ready for some freedom. Hopefully, this was Mia's problem and we weren't going to be doomed to be woken up by a crying kid for the rest of our lives.
I had fully intended on moving her straight from her crib into a twin bed, but this month's budget is a bit tight, so that will have to wait. I didn't want to put off the transition though, so instead, we just turned her crib into a toddler bed by removing one of the side railings. Things went... about as you would expect.
The first night, she was thrilled at the novelty of being able to get in and out on her own. She gleefully climbed in, but about 10 minutes later, we had a little person peering at us in the living room from the top of the stairs. And then again 20 minutes later. And 20 minutes after that. So... that first night, B and I gave in to Mia's request to "sit der, on floor" until she fell asleep.The second night, bedtime went much more smoothly. She went down, and didn't get up. But, when we went to check on her, she was face down, on the carpet, with her head under the bed. Oops. That day, we decided to give it one more night, and if she was still falling off, we'd wait until we could get a twin bed and a bed rail.
Of course, in true toddler fashion, she spent all night in her bed, and woke up fresh on her own, and B found her quietly reading a book when he came to check on her after his shower. This is exactly what I was hoping for!
Well, Nevada Bar Exam July 2013 is official over! Well, not quite because it turns out that, adding insult to injury, I also have to re-take the MPRE next Saturday. But still, relatively speaking, I am over the biggest hurdle.
The whole ordeal of studying, and then sitting for the bar, was physically, mentally, and personally grueling, but in the end I got through it. In reflecting on the exam itself, I find myself completely perplexed at how to deal with the low pass rate. If 40% of the people taking this exam will not be making it through, and if 60% of the people taking this exam performed better than I did, I absolutely cannot see myself doing ANY better the second time around.
Now, do not take that in the "Well, I could NOT have done any better" sense saying that I was excellent and nobody could have done better, but instead, I just cannot see myself doing the whole thing again and having the result come out differently. While I'm not saying that I wouldn't retake it, I am just not sure I would pass the second time if I did have to retake it.
I've found that coming back to "normal life" post bar exam has been a bit more difficult than I anticipated. I feel like complete mush, of course, but more than that, there's a sense of dissatisfaction. You spend the months leading up to the bar building anticipation to cross this hurdle, and then once you cross it, you go back to your normal life to wait. But wait for what, exactly? The results, yes, but if I do pass, I'm not entirely sure I am going to be launching into a full-out job search.
First, while I was away, my Company started doing well again. No late paychecks, no more unpaid time off. I am officially back to 5 days a week, every week. Second, while I'm still somewhat dissatisfied in the lack of lawyering in my day to day, B has (frequently) pointed out that the grass is not always greener.
Besides that, I am back and trying to figure out what I want to do in terms of this blog, my Etsy shop, and... all the other things ever.

Media clips on a hard drive or other storage are automatically organized in collections and metadata automatically assigned to facilitate subsequent searching for media clips. A Clip Organizer software application initially scans a user's hard drive to identify folders containing user files of sound, picture, clip art, video and other media clips. Predefined types of folders are omitted in the scan to avoid identifying media clips that do not belong to the user or are part of another application program. A partially �flattened� collection hierarchy is created to simplify browsing the media clips. Sufficient empty files are included to enable a user to readily locate the collections, and metadata comprising keywords derived from the path of each media clip are associated with each of the media clips to facilitate subsequent searching for the files. In addition, the collection hierarchy is automatically updated as changes are made. Images(11) Claims(58)
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT [0027] Exemplary Operating Environment [0028]FIG. 1 and the following discussion are intended to provide a brief, general description of a suitable host computing device with which the present invention may be used. Although not required, the present invention will typically be used with a host computing device that executes computer instructions, such as program modules. These computer instructions are executed by a processor in the host computing device, which may be part of a larger computing network. [0029] Generally, program modules implemented on the host computing device (some of which will be used in connection with the present invention) include routines, programs, objects, components, data structures, etc. that perform particular tasks or implement particular abstract data types. Moreover, those skilled in the art will appreciate that this invention may be practiced with other types of host computing devices, including hand-held devices, pocket personal computing devices, programmable consumer electronic devices, multiprocessor systems, network personal computers (PCs), laptop computers, minicomputers, mainframe computers, and the like. The invention may also be practiced with computing devices in distributed computing environments that include remote processing devices linked through a communications network. In a distributed computing environment, program modules may be located in both local and remote memory storage devices. [0030] With reference to FIG. 1, an exemplary computing system for use in implementing the present invention includes a general purpose computing device in the form of a conventional PC 20, provided with a processing unit 21, a system memory 22, and a system bus 23. The system bus couples various system components, including the system memory, to processing unit 21 and may be any of several types of bus structures, including a memory bus or memory controller, a peripheral bus, and a local bus using any of a variety of bus architectures. The system memory includes read only memory (ROM) 24 and random access memory (RAM) 25. A basic input/output system (BIOS) 26, containing the basic routines that help to transfer information between elements within PC 20, such as during start up, is stored in ROM 24. PC 20 further includes a hard disk drive 27 for reading from and writing to a hard disk, not shown, a magnetic disk drive 28 for reading from or writing to a removable magnetic disk 29, and an optical disk drive 30 for reading from or writing to a removable optical disk 31, such as a CD-ROM or other optical media. Hard disk drive 27, magnetic disk drive 28, and optical disk drive 30 are connected to system bus 23 by a hard disk drive interface 32, a magnetic disk drive interface 33, and an optical disk drive interface 34, respectively. The drives and their associated computer-readable media provide nonvolatile storage of computer-readable machine instructions, data structures, program modules and other data for PC 20. Although the exemplary environment described herein employs a hard disk, removable magnetic disk 29, and removable optical disk 31, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that other types of computer-readable media, which can store data that is accessible by a computer, such as magnetic cassettes, flash memory cards, digital video disks, Bernoulli cartridges, RAMs, ROMs, and the like, may also be used in the exemplary operating environment. A number of program modules may be stored on the hard disk, magnetic disk 29, optical disk 31, ROM 24, or RAM 25, including an operating system 35, one or more application programs 36, other program modules 37, and program data 38. [0031] A user may enter commands and information into PC 20 through input devices such as a keyboard 40, and through a separate pointing device 42. Other input devices (not shown) may include a microphone, joystick, game pad, satellite dish, scanner, or the like. These and other input devices are often connected to processing unit 21 through an input/output (I/O) interface 46 that is coupled to the system bus. The term I/O interface is intended to encompass each interface correspondingly used for a serial port, a parallel port, a game port, an infrared port, a radio frequency port, and/or a universal serial bus (USB) port (not separately shown). [0032] A monitor 47 or other type of display device is also connected to system bus 23 via an appropriate interface, such as a video adapter 48, and is usable to display Web pages and/or other information. In addition to the monitor, PCs are often coupled to other peripheral output devices (not shown), such as speakers (through a sound card or other audio interface�not shown) and printers. [0033] PC 20 may operate in a networked environment using logical connections to one or more remote computers, such as a remote computer 49. Remote computer 49 may be another PC, a server (which is typically configured much like PC 20), a router, a network PC, a peer device, a satellite or other common network node, and typically includes many or all of the elements described above in connection with PC 20, although only an external memory storage device 50 has been illustrated in FIG. 1. The logical connections depicted in FIG. 1 include a local area network (LAN) 51 and a wide area network (WAN) 52. Such networking environments are common in offices, enterprise-wide computer networks, intranets, and the Internet. [0034] When used in a LAN networking environment, PC 20 is connected to LAN 51 through a network interface or adapter 53. When used in a WAN networking environment, PC 20 typically includes a modem 54 or other means for establishing communications over WAN 52, such as the Internet. Modem 54, which may be internal or external, is connected to system bus 23, or coupled to the bus via I/O device interface 46, i.e., through a serial port. In a networked environment, program modules depicted relative to PC 20, or portions thereof, may be stored in the remote memory storage device. It will be appreciated that the network connections shown are exemplary and other means of establishing a communications link between the computers may be used, such as wireless communication and wide band network links. [0035] Current Preferred Application of Invention [0036] It should be noted that the present invention is not specifically limited to organizing and indexing media files, since the same technique can readily be applied to almost any type of file. However, in an initial application, the present invention will be applied to organizing media files, since as noted above in the Background of the Invention, the problems associated with manually managing and organizing media files become increasingly more burdensome as the number of media files stored in different folders on a user's hard drive or other storage continues to grow. Since it will be used for organizing media clips, an initial embodiment of the present invention is thus referred to as a �Clip Organizer.� [0037] The present invention addresses problems associated with manually indexing files comprising personal content of a user on a hard disk or other storage by automatically locating the personal content and importing it into a user's personal media database so that the personal content can readily be displayed in a collection hierarchy. As the present invention imports the content into database created by the Clip Organizer, it simultaneously indexes the contents by adding keywords or metadata based upon contextual information that enables a user to find the personal content at a later time using a keyword search. The task of importing hundreds or thousands of clips located in possibly hundreds of folders that may be distributed throughout one or more hard drives and applying useful keywords to them can take many painstaking hours of manual effort. In contrast, the present invention accomplishes this task automatically in a time ranging from within a few seconds to a few minutes, depending upon the volume of personal content in the user's storage. This task is carried out without requiring any mandatory user interaction to facilitate the process. In addition, once the present invention has run to completion, it establishes rules that automatically facilitate importing new media into the collection hierarchy as the new media are added to the user's hard drive(s), even if initially added to the storage without using the present invention and its automated organizing capabilities. Generally, the present invention makes the manual importing and manual indexing of a hard drive user content obsolete, if it is employed at its maximum effectiveness. [0038] Logical Steps Implemented to Scan Hard Drive [0039]FIG. 2 illustrates a flow chart 100 that indicates the logical steps generally implemented in the present invention to automatically organize and manage media clips. Media clips will typically include digital photos, audio files, video files, and clip art generated or collected by a user in a storage such as a hard drive. As shown in flow chart 100, the process for organizing media clips with the Clip Organizer begins in a step 102, with a scan of the user's hard drive. (It should be noted that although the singular form �hard drive� is used throughout the following discussion, it is recognized that users of the present invention may have one or more hard drives and/or a user's hard drive(s) may be divided into multiple volumes. Accordingly, it is intended that unless otherwise evident from the context, the term �hard drive� refer generally to any type of storage on which user media files or other user content files are stored and also encompass the plural form �hard drives.�) [0040] Details of the steps involved in scanning a user's hard drive are shown in FIG. 3. A key aspect of the hard drive scan is the intelligence applied in identifying folders that contain supported media file types and more importantly, in determining that certain predefined types of folders should not be searched for media files. The scanning component of the Clip Organizer program begins in a block 120 in which the program determines a first search folder on the storage currently being scanned, typically starting with the first folder at the root level of the hard drive being scanned. A decision block 122 determines if the folder being searched is a temporary folder. The purpose of this determination is to avoid scanning temporary folders since temporary media files that are frequently stored in a temporary folder will likely be deleted at some point without user permission. Temporary folders include those identified by the name �TEMP,� and those that the WINDOWS� operating system identifies as temporary folders, which have special significance in the WINDOWS� operating system for storing temporary files. Other types of temporary folders include those designated by the operating system for Internet cache storage. Since a folder identified as a temporary folder is likely to include only temporary media files that will not be retained, such folders are preferably avoided when scanning the hard drive for user content. A negative response leads to a decision block 128, while an affirmative response to decision block 122 leads to a decision block 124, which determines if there are any further folders to be searched. If so, the logic continues with a block 126, which advances to the next folder on the hard drive. Otherwise, the logic proceeds to a decision block 142, which is discussed below. From block 126, the logic loops back through decision block 122. [0041] Assuming that the current folder is not a temporary folder, the logic proceeds from decision block 122 to decision block 128, which determines if the current folder is an application folder. If so, the logic again loops back through decision block 124, since application folders are omitted from the scan to identify media content. The reason for this omission is that if the scan imported every media file from subfolders under the �Program Files� folder, it would likely import media files provided by third parties as part of application programs. By default, application folders for application programs that are installed on a PC are frequently created under the Program Files root folder. Any third party providing such an application program would likely prefer that the present invention not include such media files that are part of that third party's program and are not part of a user content collection. Accordingly, the hard drive scan avoids the entire Program Files folder subtree, as well as the �System� and �System 32� folder subtrees of the WINDOWS� operating system, which are also likely to contain third party media files. It is certainly possible for third party applications to be installed in a folder subtree other than under these three predefined folders. In fact, a user can manually override the default rules regarding predefined folders that should be omitted from the scan and customize settings of the present invention so that the �Program Files� folders or other folders omitted by default from the scan are instead included in the hard disk scan. However, the present invention at least attempts to minimize the chance of including media files that are not part of the user's content, although it may not entirely eliminate this risk. Clearly, the goal is to import only content, which is of primary interest to the users, which is their own media files, rather than the media files associated with application programs or other media files that are inappropriate. [0042] If the current folder being scanned is not an application program folder, the logic proceeds to a decision block 130, which determines if the current folder includes a filter. Folders of this type are capable of showing a user only certain files included therein. One common folder that includes a filter is the �Recycle Bin� folder, which typically contains a hidden file called �desktop.ini� that contains a class identification (CLSID) profile string for a computer object model (COM) object. If the �desktop.ini� file is found in a folder and it contains a CLSID or CLSID2 profile string, the disk scan component of the present invention avoids that folder and all of its subfolders, if any. [0043] If the folder has a filter,. the logic loops back to decision block 124, but otherwise proceeds to a decision block 132, which determines if the current folder being scanned is hidden. If so, logic loops back to decision block 124 to avoid scanning a folder that a user or administrator has designated as hidden, since such folders are very unlikely to include media clips produced by the user that should be a part of the collection of user content. Otherwise, the logic proceeds to a decision block 134. In this decision block, the logic determines if the current folder is a profile folder for other than the current user, and if so, again loops back to decision block 124. The basis for this determination is that on a multi-user system, it is likely that different users will have personal media located in or under their own profile folders. Accordingly, it would be a breach of privacy for the present invention to scan any folders in a profile that does not belong to the user who is currently logged on to the computer. The scanning component of the Clip Organizer therefore avoids scanning any profile folder that does not belong to the current user or any subfolders of profile folders for a different user than the current user. The only exception to this rule is that the scan will search the �All Users� profile folder and subfolders thereof, since this profile folder is not considered private and is available to all users of the computer. If the response to this determination is negative, a block 136 provides for including the current folder in a folder list or folders that may include media that should be part of the collection of user content being developed. [0044] Next, the current folder is evaluated in a decision block 138 to determine if the folder contains media files of the user. If not, the logic proceeds back to decision block 124 to select another folder for scanning. However, if the folder does contain media files, the logic proceeds to a block 140 in which the current folder is marked as a media-containing folder. [0045] Once all of the folders have been evaluated in the scan of the hard drive, decision block 124 transfers the logic to a decision block 142, which determines if there are any more hard drives to search. If not, the scanning component logic of the Clip Organizer software terminates. However, if the response to decision block 142 is affirmative, a block 144 provides for advancing the search to the next fixed hard drive or volume of the storage. The logic then repeats the scanning steps discussed above, starting with block 120. [0046] Sibling Rule [0047] Referring back to FIG. 2, following the scan of all of the hard drives on which the user's media might be located, a block 104 applies a sibling rule as a basis for determining which folders without user content should be included in a collection hierarchy to insure that the hierarchy remains understandable in regard to locating collections but is relatively �flat.� The sibling rule is a key to striking the correct balance between producing a derived collection hierarchy that is as flat as possible, while insuring that the hierarchy makes sense to a user. Specifically, instead of including only folders with media as part of the collection, the sibling rule provides a basis for creating a collection having folders that do not include user media files. Such �empty� folders are included if and only if they meet certain criteria. Details of the logical steps implemented in applying the sibling rule are illustrated in FIG. 4. [0048]FIG. 4 begins with a decision block 150 that determines if there are any more folders in the folder list to be evaluated in accord with the sibling rule. If so, a block 152 obtains the next folder in the list that was created during the scan of folders on the user's hard drive. A decision block 154 then determines if the current folder thus obtained has already been marked as a media folder (i.e., a folder that includes one or more user media files). If so, the logic loops back to decision block 150. Otherwise, the logic proceeds to a decision block 156. In this decision block, a determination is made as to whether the current folder has a subfolder that contains media files. If not, the logic loops back to decision block 150, but otherwise proceeds to a decision block 158. In decision block 158, the logic determines if a sibling folder of the current folder or a subfolder of a sibling folder contains one or more user media files. (A sibling folder is one that is at the same subfolder level below a parent folder as the present folder.) If not, the logic again loops back to decision block 150, but otherwise proceeds to a block 160, in which the current folder is marked as a media folder, i.e., as a folder that will be included in the collection hierarchy. Thereafter, the logic also loops back to decision block 150. [0049] From the preceding explanation, it will be apparent that any folder that does not include media will only be included in the collection hierarchy if and only if any user media files are included in at least one subfolder of that folder and a sibling folder includes any user media files or has subfolders with user media files. The sibling rule provides sufficient empty folders in the collection hierarchy to enable a user to determine the path to media-containing folders and to differentiate between different path branches in the collection hierarchy. By minimizing the number of �empty� folders that must be included to provide complete path information for folders that contain media files of interest, unnecessary clutter is avoided in the collection hierarchy. However, a user can still determine where to find media in folders, since the included empty folders provide a logical hierarchy in which the path and branching between media folders is clearly delineated. In general, root folders, and therefore root collections derived from those root folders, are more recognizable by users than leaf folders. The sibling rule takes this principle into consideration and puts it to good use. If the sibling rule were not applied, and the collection hierarchy only included folders with media, the hierarchy would become so flat as to cause confusion, and users would in some instances be unable to determine where their media files are located within the hierarchy. The sibling rule restores a balance of efficiency based on �flatness,� and maintains sufficient hierarchy differentiation to enable a user to understand where media files are located. [0050] Creating the Collection [0051] Again referring back to FIG. 2, the next step in the process implemented by the present invention is to create a collection, as noted in a block 106. This step simply involves the process of creating �folder-like� constructs with the Clip Organizer software application comprising the present invention, to provide a hierarchical relationship between the media collections. The folder-like constructs that are thus created contain only user media (i.e., do not include unsupported file types in them), so that the media files can be found by a user. An important aspect of this step is that when collections are created by the present invention, they are created in a user's media database. With each collection in the database is associated a full path that indicates the location on the hard drive of the collection. Provision of this full path is important, because it sets up an import and indexing component and a browse import component of the present invention, as explained below. In addition, each collection receives an �auto-import state� property. The auto-import state property can have one of three different settings that are user selectable, for updating the collection. These settings include a decision by the user to either: (1) add new or changed files and subfolders to the collection; or (2) add new or changed files only to the collection; or (3) don't add either files or folders to the collection. [0052] By default, the present invention sets the first option to �add new or changed files and subfolders to the collection� and therefore does not require user interaction when this property is initially set. However, if the user subsequently chooses, the option can be reset by the user to a different one of the three options. The auto-import option setting is particularly relevant to the browse import component of the present invention, as explained below. Another important aspect of collection creation is that each storage construct in the media management system has properties that help it to automatically import and index the media files that it contains and make it aware of the file system that it represents. [0053] Importing and Indexing Component [0054] After creating the collections in block 106, a block 108 provides for carrying out the import and indexing component of the present invention. Details of the steps implemented in importing and indexing are shown in FIG. 5, beginning with a decision block 170. This decision block determines if there are any more collections to be processed. If not, the import and indexing function is completed and this portion of the program terminates. However, if any collection remains to be processed, the logic advances to the first (or next) collection to be processed in a block 172. This step is followed by a block 174 in which the logic obtains a mapped folder, which is a folder associated with the collection currently being processed. A decision block 176 then determines if the folder that was just obtained has any new media to import into the collection. During the initial creation of the collection hierarchy, each folder that includes media files of the user will be treated as if the media is new and must be imported. If not, the logic loops back to decision block 170. [0055] Assuming that the folder being processed indeed includes new media files to import, the logic proceeds to a block 178 and imports the next media file included in the current folder. The file suffix is added as a keyword in the metadata for the file in a block 180. (The suffix is the media file extension, such as �wav� for audio files in the wave format, or �jpg� for digital photographs in the Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG) format.) In addition, recalling that each file of a particular media type that is included within a collection will have its full folder path associated with it, a block 182 provides for adding folder names in that path as keywords in the metadata associated with the file. [0056] It is generally assumed that users will typically store media files within a folder structure based upon the content or subject matter of the media files. For example, a user might store a digital photograph file �beach1.jpg� that was taken with an OLYMPUS� digital camera on the beach during a vacation to Hawaii in 1999 in a folder having a path such as �C:\My Documents\My Photos\Digital Camera\Olympus\Vacations\Hawaii\1999\Beach1.jpg.� This path would be parsed by the Clip Organizer software to identify keywords for inclusion in the metadata for the file. These keywords would include: �My Documents,� �My Photos,� �Digital Camera,� �Olympus,� �Vacations,� �Hawaii,� and �1999.� For this scheme to operate effectively, users will need to initially store their media files of interest in a folder structure configured so that the path of the media file includes keywords that can be used for locating the media files based on their subject matter, type, topic, and/or other keywords entered by a user in a search dialog that are likely to be part of the metadata associated with the user content in the user collections database. [0057] A block 184 adds additional metadata to the database by including the filename as a caption for the file. In addition, the localized media type, such as �photograph,� �clip art,� �sound,� or �motion� is also included within the metadata for the file stored in the database. A decision block 188 then determines if any further new media files are available to import in the current folder, and if so, the logic returns to block 178 to process the next new media file in the current collection. If not, the logic returns to decision block 170 to determine if any further collections remain to be processed, and if so, processes them in a similar manner. If not, the import and indexing component of the Clip Organizer software is completed and terminates. [0058] It will be evident from the above example in which a path for a particular digital photograph file capturing a beach scene was parsed to determine keywords for inclusion in the metadata for the file, beachl jpg, a user could subsequently locate that file as well as other media files in the database that relate to the vacation in Hawaii by searching the collection hierarchy stored in the collections database, based on the keyword �Hawaii.� The user could also specifically identify digital photographs relating to beach scenes by searching for metadata that include the word �beach� within the metadata associated with each of the files included within the collection hierarchy stored in the user's content database. [0059] Clearly, folders and files stored on a hard drive are not static. It is understood that new folders will be created and new content media files will added to the storage without using the present invention. As a result, a different mechanism is provided for including the new content added in this manner so that the new content is incorporated with the user media collections produced by the present invention. Each media collection organized by the present invention has within it a folder path associated with each of its media files. Accordingly, the folder paths for a collection can be automatically examined on the hard drive at the specific locations to determine if a change has been made in the folder path indicating the location where the media files of the collection are stored. Any changes that are detected are used to automatically modify the folder path so that it indicates the new location. [0060] Browse Import Function [0061] When a user browses a collection hierarchy in Clip Organizer, the user may select a collection that is assigned to a specific hard drive location. Accordingly, several events are triggered as a result of the user browsing the collection that depend upon the setting of the auto-import state property selected for that collection. The steps associated with the browsing of a collection are referred to as a browse import function in a block 110 in FIG. 2. [0062] Details of the logical steps implemented in the browse import function are provided in FIG. 6, beginning with a decision block 200. This decision block determines if the auto-import state for the current collection being browsed has been set ON, which means simply that the collection properties have been set to enable the logic to look for new media files, or new media folders, or both. If not, the user has selectively determined that the program should not look for new files or new folders to be added to the current collection, and the logic terminates for this aspect of the process. As noted above, however, the default setting for the auto-import property is to add new or changed files and subfolders to update a collection. Thus, in most cases, the auto-import state for a collection will be set to the ON condition, leading to a decision block 202. Decision block 202 determines if there are any folders associated with the current collection, and if not, the logic terminates, since there is no requirement for any processing of this collection (i.e., because it does not have any folders to examine for new files or subfolders). Otherwise, the logic proceeds to a decision block 204 to determine if the auto-import state for the current collection being browsed by the user has been set to create new subcollections. Again, the default would be to create new subcollections. Alternatively, a user may have decided to only add new or changed files to the current collection, but not new subcollections. Assuming that the auto-import state provides for creating new subcollections, a block 205 provides for obtaining the first mapped folder for the current collection. A negative response to decision block 204 leads to a decision block 208, which determines if the auto-import state is set to import new media files (i.e., the default condition). If not, the logic terminates. However, if the auto-import setting property indicates that new media files are to be imported into the current collection automatically, the logic proceeds to a block 209 that provides for obtaining the first mapped folder. [0063] A decision block 212 then determines if this folder has new media files associated with it and if not, proceeds to a decision block 216, which determines if there are any more mapped folders (folders associated with the collection). If so, the logic advances to a block 210, in which the next mapped folder is obtained. Thereafter, the logic again returns to decision block 212. Assuming that the current folder has new media files in decision block 212, a block 214 automatically imports and indexes all new files of the media type included within the collections maintained by the present invention. The import and indexing step is carried out in accord with the logic discussed above in connection with FIG. 5. After all new media files associated with the current folder have been imported and indexed, the logic continues with decision block 216. If there are no more mapped folders associated with the present collection in decision block 216, the logic terminates. [0064] Referring again to block 205, after obtaining the mapped folder, the logic proceeds to a block 218 in which a determination is made as to whether the current folder has a subfolder in which media files are included. If so, the next step in a block 220 is to create a new subcollection corresponding to the subfolder and the media files included therein. A negative response to decision block 218 leads to a decision block 222. After block 220, a decision block 221 determines if there are any more subfolders with media files and if so, the logic returns to block 220 to create a new subcollection. A negative response in decision block 221 leads to decision block 222. Decision block 222 determines if there are any more mapped folders and if not, the logic advances to decision block 208. If additional mapped folders exist, the logic proceeds with a block 206 to obtain the next mapped folder in the collection and repeats the steps noted above. [0065] It will be apparent that the auto-importing of files and subcollections in accord with the steps illustrated in FIG. 6 are implemented each time that a user browses a given collection. It should also be noted that the browse initiated auto-import process only applies to subfolders containing new media files found one level down from a currently included mapped folder. Any new media files that reside more than one level down from the existing collection hierarchy folder will not be automatically imported into the collection hierarchy in response to a user browsing. Application of the limitation of one level down subfolder searching is an intended design feature of this preferred embodiment of the present invention. Even though the subfolder search occurs on its own thread, all new entries written to the database for the collection must be written on the primary thread according to this preferred embodiment. It is important that the search be quick and ideally not find too many new collections to create, to avoid having the primary thread slow down to the point at which a user will notice a performance hit in processing speed. By limiting the search to a single subfolder depth, this step can be time efficient so that the user does not notice any significant processing slow down and yet still benefits by having new media folders found and imported into the database as a result of the user simply browsing existing collections. This technique enables users to �instantly� see new collections appear with descriptive names when the steps in block 214 are implemented. When a user selects the newly added collection to investigate, any files found in the hard drive subfolder (one level down) associated with that new collection are also then automatically imported and indexed. Thus, as the user continues to browse to newly added subcollections, additional subfolders are added in accord with the logic discussed above. [0066] It is also important to note that this process has been designed to account for the fact that the folders and media files stored on a hard drive will typically evolve slowly and not radically change in a very short time frame. If users elect to create subfolders on their hard drive and organize files with more granularity, they will typically create subfolders only one level down from existing ones and arrange their files among the new subfolders thus created. Accordingly, the one subfolder down approach discussed above is particularly appropriate. When a user next uses the Clip Organizer to browse a collection associated with an original folder, the new subfolders will be detected and added as a new subcollection of the existing collection. In addition, any files in the subfolders will be imported and indexed automatically for a user. Furthermore, since the newly created collection found by auto-importing folders one level down has a full path associated with it, along with its auto-import state setting that will allow it to find new media subfolders, the user can continually have new subfolders created and new media imported and indexed by repeatedly browsing on each successive newly added collection as it is created. Should a hard drive ever become too radically different for the present invention to adapt to in this manner, the user can always rerun the full scanning algorithm discussed above in connection with FIG. 2 to obtain an updated collection hierarchy that reflects all of the changes made to the storage since the last time the user ran the full scanning algorithm. [0067] As noted above, the user has an option to customize the settings regarding importing of new or changed files and subfolders. Furthermore, these settings can be separately selectively set for each collection and can be optionally set so that the auto-import feature is turned off for both new files and new folders. In this manner, this embodiment of the present invention makes it possible for a user to customize the properties for each collection, if they so choose. [0068] Exemplary User Interface Dialogs [0069] A dialog box 230 included in a preferred embodiment of the present invention enables a user to selectively control adding media files or clips to the collection hierarchy. This dialog box has a title line 232 that reads �Add Clips To Organizer.� If the user elects to carry out a default scan of the hard drive, it is only necessary to click on an OK button 236. Also provided is a Cancel button 238. Alternatively, the user can specify the hard disks and/or folders that should be scanned for media clips by selecting an Options control 240 (see FIG. 9, which is described below). [0070]FIG. 8 illustrates a dialog box 250 that is displayed as the user's hard drive or storage is scanned by a preferred embodiment of the present invention. This dialog box includes a title line 252 that reads �Clip Organizer.� A progress bar 254 includes a plurality of segments 256 that increase in number to lengthen the progress bar as the scanning of the hard drive and importing of the collections continues. Also provided is a Cancel button 258 that is selectable by a user to interrupt the process. [0071]FIG. 9 illustrates a dialog 260 presented in response to a user selecting Options control 240 in dialog box 230 (FIG. 7). Exemplary dialog 260 includes a title line 262 that reads �Auto Import Settings.� A folder tree window 264 illustrate the various folders and subfolders on the user's hard drive. Boxes with checks 266 are associated with the folders that were found during the scan to have media files. If a user clears the check mark in a box associated with a specific folder, the present invention will not create a collection for the folder in Clip Organizer, and none of its media files will be imported for the user. A vertical scroll bar and a horizontal scroll bar 272 are included to access folders not currently visible in the dialog folder tree. In addition, a catalog control 274 is selectable by the user to initiate the application of the sibling rule for the folders associated with all remaining checked boxes, creation of collections for those folders, and importation of the media files for the folders. Alternatively, a user can select a Cancel button 276 to close the window. [0072] Once a user's hard drive has been scanned and a plurality of collections have been created that include the user's media clips, the user is presented with a collection hierarchy view as shown in exemplary main graphic user interface (GUI) window 280 in FIG. 10. At the top of GUI window 280 are disposed a menu 284 and a toolbar 286. A collections list pane 288 displays a collection hierarchy view. It must be emphasized that the collection hierarchy is generally not identical to the folder tree view (i.e., the WINDOWS� Explorer view) of the hard drive storage from which the collection hierarchy is derived. The differences between the collection hierarchy view and the folder tree view result because of the flattening of the folder tree that occurs in the collection hierarchy to include only those folders in which media clips are included (and normally excluding the five predefined types of folders that are typically not scanned for media clips), in addition to the empty folders that do not have any media clips, but which are included within the collection hierarchy to differentiate between branches in accord with the sibling rule. Main GUI window 280 includes a title bar 282 that reads �The Innocents�Clip Organizer.� The title bar includes the phrase �The Innocents,� because a folder 294 with that name has been selected and is open in the collection hierarchy. Media files 302 included within folder 294 are displayed in a file list pane 300 in main GUI window 280. Other folders 290 are included in collections list pane 288, only some of which include media files. Each folder that includes media files corresponds to a different collection. In this particular example, a number of empty folders are included as subfolders under an empty folder 292 entitled �My Music.� Vertical and horizontal scroll bars 296 and 298 provide access to additional folders that are not currently visible in collections list pane 288. [0073] In media file list pane 300, the names of each media file in the current selected collection are listed, along with a caption 304 and keywords 306. It should be noted that the keywords are derived from the path of folder 294 and include �The Innocents,� �Erasure,� �My Music,� �Documents,� �All Users.Winnt,� and �Documents And Settings.� The keyword �Sounds� (only partially shown due to space limitations) identifies the type of media clip stored in folder 294, all of which are Windows Media Audio (*.wma) files and thus properly in the category �Sounds.� Keywords 306 comprise the metadata that can readily be searched by a user to locate specific media files based upon the content, subject matter, and/or category automatically associated with the files. It should be noted that keywords 306 are not derived from the collection hierarchy, but instead are derived from the full path to folder 294. This point is evident, since the collection hierarchy does not include the folder �Documents and Settings,� but the full path for the folder does. Optionally, a user can type a question in a text entry box 308 to obtain help on a specific topic. [0074] In FIG. 11, an exemplary dialog 320 illustrates properties for The Innocents collection shown in FIG. 10. A title bar 322 reads �The Innocents Collection Properties.� A text box 324 includes the name of the collection, �The Innocents,� while a path box 326 includes folders associated with the collection by listing a path 328 for it. Optionally, a user can click on an Add button 330 to associate additional folders with the collection, or can select a Delete button 332 to delete folders previously associated with the collection. The lower part of properties box 320 includes the three possible settings for the auto-update option. In this example, the default has been selected as indicated by a radio button 334 that is selected to provide for adding new or changed files and subfolders to the current collection. Alternatively, a user can select radio button 336, which provides for adding new or changed files only, or radio button 338, which provides for not adding files or subfolders to this collection. Once the options have been selected, a user can select an OK button 340, or may select a Cancel button 342 if the user decides not to modify the properties for the collection. [0075] Referring now to FIG. 12, a dialog 350 is opened to enable a user to search and locate a particular user media file or type of media file in the user's collections. Search dialog 350 has a title bar 352 that reads �Search.� If the user wants to search for keywords in the metadata associated with the media files, the user will enter the likely keywords in a text block 354. In this example, the user has entered the text �Vacation,� indicating that any media file having that text string in its path and thus automatically included in the metadata for the file as a result of the automatic indexing of the media files will be located by the search. A Search control button 356 is selected once the desired keywords have been entered, or the user can restart the text entry process by selecting a Restore control button 358. A drop down list box 360 includes options that enable a user to choose to search all collections, or to pick one or more specific collections to search. Also, a drop down list box 362 is provided that enables a user to search all media files, or limit the search for a specific one or more types of media files. When the Search control is selected, a list of all media files meeting the desired criteria will be displayed to the user. [0076] Although the present invention has been described in connection with the preferred form of practicing it and modifications thereto, those of ordinary skill in the art will understand that many additional modifications can be made to the invention within the scope of the claims that follow. Accordingly, it is not intended that the scope of the invention in any way be limited by the above description, but instead be determined entirely by reference to the claims that follow.

think about food: April 2011
This weekend was delicious. Saturday greeted us with the possibility of strolling outdoors sans jacket, and strolled we did, up to Jean Talon market to get some goodies.
Can't wait for summer salads!
I'll take the kitty and the french bulldog.
I baked some amazing fresh sea bass marinated in miso. The recipe is meant for black cod, but any flaky white fish will do. Here's the recipe.
Doctored the recipe with some ginger and garlic. Pourquoi pas?
I made some more no-knead bread. This time with sunflower seeds!
Procrastinating meant I made some mini cheesecakes. What a revelation. Take your favorite cheesecake recipe, make the batter, pour into muffin papers and bake for 20 minutes. Who knew?
Start checking them after 15 minutes...mine were a little overdone. You want them to still be wobbly when you take them out of the oven.
Guess where I am going with this mess of berries?

famous family cheese ball
It's cheese ball time, people! Get ready for one of the tastiest appetizers ever known. I have so many memories of the mighty cheese ball. Every celebrated holiday and family get-together warranted a cheese ball when I was growing up. There are even contested versions in my family and heated discussions about which version tastes the best. Here's my version. Why don't you try making one for your next potluck party?
-250g grated cheese (This recipe is great for getting rid of those random stumps of leftover cheese. I used old cheddar and an aged gouda, ja!)
-the juice of 1/2 an orange
-2 to 4 cloves of garlic, depending on how much of a vampire you are
-2 to 4 shakes of worcester sauce, or bragg amino liquid
-optional: 1 tsp dill and 6 chopped olives
-ground walnuts, pecans or almonds (I used pecans)
Grate your cheese into a bowl.
Chop that garlic up real good.
Sprinkle your dill over the cheese. You could use any herb you fancy.
BAM! All the ingredients pre-ball. Note the squeeze of Siracha sauce, my special spicy touch.
Wash those hands, you filthy human and then mush everything up into a ball. I tried with a spoon but this cheese needs manual stimulation.
Roll that beautiful cheese ball in some chopped nuts.
Wrap in parchment paper and stick in the fridge. This ball needs time to marinate. Make it the day before you want to serve it for optimal taste sensations. To serve, cut the cheese ball in half and serve with crackers and veggies. Spread that cheese on thick! Mmmmm.

After seeing this attempted by a friend on facebook and looking at the beautiful result, I thought I'd give this a try. I was in the middle of writing papers, which is what my life is all about at the moment, I needed a bit of procrastination in carbohydrate form. The dough took less than 3 minutes to prepare. All you need is time for it to rise and for the yeast to do its thing, and a 2 hour window of opportunity to let it proof and bake. This bread is so easy and the results taste like you spent hours slaving away. This one's a keeper, and I plan on making more of this in the near future.
3 cups of flour (i used 2 c. organic all purpose wheat, and 1 c. organic spelt)
1 1/2 cups of warm water (you'll need 1/4 c more if you use spelt or other alternative grain flour)
Combine the ingredients and mix with a wooden spoon. The dough should look "shaggy" and "piecey".
Here's what my dough looked like after mixing. Now all you need to do is cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let sit for 12-18 hours.
My specimen after a nice long sleep. Way to go yeast, you did your thing!
The next step: you might need to wet your hands to turn over the dough a couple of times to form a nice smooth ball. Nestle it into a tallish bowl for it to rise for another 2 hours. 30 minutes before you want to bake it, heat the oven to 450 degrees and pop in a heat resistant pot with a lid, such as a cast iron casserole. When the oven and pan are nice and hot, place your dough into the pan and give it a few shakes to distribute the dough nicely. Cover the pan with your lid. This creates steam while the bread bakes and results in a wonderfully crispy crunchy crust.
After 30 minutes of baking, remove the lid and bake for another 15 to 20 minutes. You can tell your bread is ready when it sounds hollow when you tap it.
Straight out of the oven. Note the parchment paper at the bottom of the pan to prevent sticking.
I love baking. I am always amazed by how beautiful it can be. Is this the end of store-bought bread for me?
The spelt flour added a sweet nutiness to the bread. All that resting for 12-18 hours imparts a complex flavor to the bread with a dense and chewy crumb and a crusty outer shell. Amazing.
I scarfed down two slices with butter while it was still hot. The next day it got slathered with cream cheese, smoked salmon and capers.

There is a small lot next to the hotel, not owned but strong working relationships. Cost about $30.00 per day and you can come a go. However, because of the hotel's location, you do not need a car to visit most of the historic sites in Philly. A cab ride across the city only costs about $10.00. Park you car and enjoy the city.

"Beautiful but not worth the $"
"Fireplace room are nice. Elevator is slow and stairs narrow, so 2d floor rooms are best." | [

Tom Stephenson: Mushrooming
Good morning. I'm feeling better now. Better now. Over on Cro's latest post, Sue says that she does not trust herself to safely identify edible mushrooms out in the wild, so I thought I would point you in the direction of this book by Roger Phillips - probably the best photographic book to identify species that has been written (sorry about the crappy little image). It is certainly the best that I have ever found. Some of the little hand illustrated books on sale over the last 40 years are positively dangerous to use, both because of the poor drawing, and the way they have been compiled, despite dire warnings about the most poisonous of species.
There is one golden rule which I always strictly adhere to when foraging - if you cannot positively identify it without the slightest hint of doubt, don't eat it. The most exciting and tasty species cannot be confused with any others, once you have handled them a couple of times, anyway, so a little experience goes a long way, rather like a little knowledge being a dangerous thing. There are two or three species which will surely kill you within 48 hours, so what you do is become very familiar with them as soon as possible - actually look for them and compare them to others, then there will be no mistakes.
I usually go out with one species in mind - Cepe, Penny Bun, Porcini, Boletus Edulis - they are all the same thing, and - to my mind - the Holy Grail. Any other good species found on the way are a bonus.
Phillip Rogers also produces a similar book for North America too, and I bet it is every bit as good as this one.
Happy Hunting (just stay away from my patch).
Tom Stephenson 23 September 2010 at 02:17
I've just posted some pictures of the two most dangerous mushrooms in Britain, as compared to the Cepe.
Jacqueline 23 September 2010 at 05:01
My Nan (father's mum) used to take my Mum foraging...Mum always thought Nan was trying to get rid of her.
I think I will stay with the farmer's market...!
Cro Magnon 23 September 2010 at 22:12
For some bizarre reason I have THREE copies of Roger Phillips' book. You're right, some mushroom books should be banned; his is excellent!
Tom, we should not encourage too many people to go mushrooming; there's nothing worse than finding other people in the woods, especially with filled baskets.
Tom Stephenson 24 September 2010 at 01:45
I used to have 2 copies, but gave away one, which I now regret. It's useful to keep one in the car and one at home. You're right about the encouragement thing - that's why I have been dwelling on how horrible it is to die of amanita poisoning.
So, to recap, it is impossible to expel the toxins from your system by urinating. What happens is that - as the poison circulated around your body - the enzymes build up and up in your vital organs, attacking your kidneys until they cease to function. 24 hours of extreme pain and vomiting are followed by a feeling of relief that it is all over, then you turn bright yellow and die about 24 hours after that. | [

August | 2019 | The Race Dr.
My #5 driver to watch is the defending champion of this race, #2 Brad Keselowski. Brad got his first win here “South of the Border” last year. He has 10 starts, that win and three Top 5’s. He is #8 ranked on tracks like this and also sits #8 hottest, a Top 5 finish can help improve those stats.
My #4 pick is a driver that used to struggle here, #22 Joey Logano. Joey has 10 starts here with three Top 5’s. Interestingly, those three Top 5’s came in his last four starts including his second place finish last year. Joey is ranked #5 for me on tracks like and is 6th hottest.
The number #3 driver to watch is a former winner here, #4 Kevin Harvick. Kevin has 22 starts here, one win and seven Top 5’s. He won here in 2014 in part of a streak of six consecutive Top 10 finishes, five of the six were Top 5’s. He is the #5 hottest over the last six weeks and is #2 rated on tracks like this.
The #2 driver only has three Top 5’s here, #18 Kyle Busch. But one of his Top 5’s was a win here in 2008. A win and two other Top 5’s in 14 starts isn’t the best, but Kyle has been hot and that hot streak should continue when he meets the “Lady in Black.”He sits #2 hottest and is #4 for me on tracks like this. It also doesn’t hurt that half of the wins here in the last ten years have been from Toyota, four of those from his team – Joe Gibbs Racing.
My #1 driver is the hottest driver over the last six weeks and most recent winner on the circuit, #11 Denny Hamlin. Denny is the hot shoe and he arrives here where he has two wins in just 13 starts, with seven Top 5’s-54%. His last four races were all Top 10’s, three of them were Top 5’s. Denny also has the #1 average finish in the last seven years at “the Track Too Tough to Tame” and his worst career finish was 19th.
Monday look for our preview of the Big Machine Vodka 400 at The Brickyard.
SOUTHERN 500 FROM DARLINGTON
Friday we break down the Top 5 drivers to watch in the SOUTHERN 500.
LEAVINE FAMILY RACING (LW #8)
After eight weeks straight weeks at#1 it is no surprise Joe Gibbs Racing remain on the heels of the #11 Denny Hamlin. Team Penske and Chip Ganassi Racing stay in place this week. Hendrick Motorsports move up a place to #4 and that moves Stewart Haas Racing to #5. Leavine Family Racing and red hot#95 Matt DiBennesetto move up two spots to #6. Roush Fenway Racing drop back a place to #7 and Wood Brothers Racing also go back a place. Germain Racing stay at #9 and JTG Racing stay #10.

Here is a track that could have easily gone the way of the North Carolina Motor Speedway (Rockingham) or the North Wilkesboro Speedway; both of which stopped running NASCAR sanctioned races. Once the home of two races a year, it now just hosts one. In 2003 we saw the last Southern 500 on Labor Day weekend. When it went away I thought the days of thunder would be over for this incredible egg-shaped speedway. International Speedway Corp. decided to give this track a chance and kept a race date earlier in the year. Lights were added and we’ve had big crowds even though they added more seats. Why? Better marketing? Lower prices? New amenities? Nope, just great close-up racing under the lights and old school night excitement at the ultimate old school track. It is even better now that we are back on Labor Day weekend. Built in 1950 this track began the Speedway era in NASCAR. Called “the track too tough to tame” it could have also been called “the track with no turn the same” because of disproportionately different east and west turns. Add in a very tight racing groove and pavement that eats tires and you have “the track that is very tough to claim” (victory that is). Most racers find it smarter to race the track than to race the other drivers. There are just two races to go before the Playoffs and a win will get you in, that will just ramp up the nerves. Joe Gibbs Racing has four wins in the last ten years and Hendrick Motorsports has two wins in the last ten years but the Hendrick engine shop has three wins and the Toyota/Joe Gibbs Racing motor shop has five wins. The most recent winner was Brad Kesolowski in Team Penske Ford. Big advantage to Toyota and JGR. Will anyone else challenge JGR/Toyota? HMS, Stewart Team Penske or someone else? We’ll find out Sunday night September, 1st.
Tuesday August 27, look for our Top 10 drivers on Intermediate tracks. | [

The front controller design pattern means that all requests that come for a resource in an application will be handled by a single handler and then dispatched to the appropriate handler for that type of request. The front controller may use other helpers to achieve the dispatching mechanism.
While reading the brief overview you may have thought about ActionServlet in Struts 1 or Dispatchers in Struts 2. Yes both of them are implementations of Front controller design pattern. But most of the developers that I have interacted to (specially the beginners) end their thought process of Front Controller at Struts only.
The Front Controller design pattern is applicable and useful for all kind of applications be it web or desktop applications and is not limited to any single programming language or framework. Before the rollout of MVC frameworks in the market, the design pattern was still in use.
The only downside was that not all application could make use of it because of the effort involved. Only the applications which had custom framework in place were using the design pattern.
So for example in case of a Java based web application, which is not using any MVC framework, all the requests would be mapped to a single servlet in web.xml file. This we know can be done by using the servlet mapping (same as we do for ActionServlet in case of Struts 1).
com.example.test.FrontServlet
Once the request reached the FrontServlet, it uses some configuration files to decide the appropriate dispatcher for the request and thus forwards the request using forward mechanism.

It features vents on the sleeves, chest and back – and comes with 3M reflective panels to help you stay visible in poor light. It’s also equipped with adjusters at the waist, neck, sleeve ends and

Mark Wadsworth: Why water can't be a 'greenhouse gas'
Having established the real reason for the Greenhouse Effect (yes, there is one), we now have to address why the Greenhouse Effect is less marked than we'd predict using basic physics alone.
We'd predict a temperature at sea-level of about 300K and a temperature of about 200K at the top of the atmosphere, the precise numbers depending on what altitude you choose as starting point (where actual temperature is equal to effective temperature = 250 - 255K) and whether you assume dry lapse rate of 8K/km or 10K/km.
1. As it happens, the Greenhouse Effect is less than this - average temperature at sea-level 288K and average temperature at the top of the stratosphere 213K - the 'moist lapse rate' is 6.5K/km, not 8K/km or 10K/km.
So water vapour is reducing the Greenhouse Effect by about 12K at sea-level, and so it can't be a 'greenhouse gas' (to the extent there even is such a thing).
2. As a matter of fact, humid places not only have smaller day/night temperature ranges than drier places at the same altitude and latitude, they are also on average slightly cooler overall.
3. The main reasons for this are as follows:
a) When water evaporates from the surface, extra kinetic energy (heat) is converted to latent heat of evaporation/condensation. When water vapour condenses back to water droplets higher up, it converts latent heat of evaporation/condensation back to actual kinetic energy (heat). That's a one-way transfer of energy from surface to troposphere.
b) Clouds have a cooling effect in the day time (reflecting solar radiation so it never reaches the hard surface) and a warming effect at night (when clouds reflect some light and some infra red radiation back to the hard surface). That's a two-way thing, but the balance is a cooling effect (see point 2). To complicate matters, the cooling effect is stronger in summer than it is in winter (when it possibly has a slight warming effect).
4. The Consensus argues that water vapour (i.e. H2O in its gaseous 'dry' state, as distinct from water droplets in clouds or fog) absorbs infra red radiation which would otherwise leave the surface and go out to space. Some of this infra red is reflected back to the hard surface and warms the hard surface up a bit more. This is quite possibly true, but it is nigh impossible to split the overall 12K cooling effect into the stronger cooling effects (latent heat and day time clouds) and the weaker warming effects (night time clouds and reflected radiation) and any attempt to do so would be subject to so many estimates and intelligent guesses as to be meaningless.
5. The Consensus also argues that more water vapour will lead to a self-reinforcing cycle - higher hard surface temperature leads to more water vapour; more water vapour reflects more radiation to hard surface; this warms hard surface even more; etc etc. Logic tells us that this can't happen, or else it would have done long ago.
There is no need to speculate about what would happen if sea-level temperatures rise by one or two degrees - the tropics are tens of degrees warmer than the Poles, and most of the tropics are oceans with plenty of water available, and there hasn't been a self-reinforcing cycle there; the overall picture is that water vapour and actual water are a self-regulating, moderating influence.
During the Little Ice Age, temperatures were barely affected in the tropics but went down a lot at higher and lower latitudes. Since then, temperatures have bounced back more at very high and very low latitudes (i.e. North and South Pole, where there is very little water vapour) and haven't risen much in the tropics (very humid). Which again points to water vapour being a moderating influence.
My latest blogpost: Why water can't be a 'greenhouse gas'Tweet this! Posted by Mark Wadsworth at 18:24
So briefly then.
1. CO2 is not working as a 'green house gas'.
2. Water vapour works like a car engine thermo-syphon cooling system.
1. it is impossible to work out what effect CO2 has, there is no particular evidence it has any effect whatsoever, and if it does, it is negligible and buried in with all the other pluses and minuses.
2. Exactly. There is a subtle point that liquid or condensed water is different to water vapour i.e. H2O in gaseous form, but you can't have one without the other and the overall impact is moderation (= cooling at sea level altitudes).

MW You only have to experience a summer sea fret at Felixstowe to know that water vapour has cooling properties...
L, yes of course, everybody knows that except Climate Scientists, they think that sea breezes and rain and clouds warm everything up.
Right, that's the climate change nonsense settled then. So moving on. What do we know about the scaremongering over US use of antibiotics in animal husbandry?
2 June 2020 at 15:13
L, that's way beyond my ken!
I like physics and maths because you can work it out yourself just using basic rules and logic. If your predictions match up with actual observed results, you're onto a winner.
Other sciences (chemistry and in particular medicine) require far more trial and error and real life experiments etc, it's all much fuzzier.

MW. me too. Or #metoo?
I only ask as it looks like another bit of greenism and i have been trying out find out about it.
But like you I feel much safer with engineeringy things..

US 6001276 AAbstract
A liquid crystal device is constituted by a pair of transparent substrates each having thereon a transparent electrode, and a chiral smectic liquid crystal composition lacking cholesteric phase disposed between the substrates so as to assume at least two optically stable states. At least one of the substrates is provided with an alignment film which comprises a polyimide represented by a recurring unit of formula (I) shown below and has been subjected to a uniaxial aligning treatment. ##STR1## wherein A denotes a tetravalent aliphatic hydrocarbon group free from a planar structure or a tetravalent alicyclic hydrocarbon group, and n is an integer of at least 1. The chiral smectic liquid crystal composition may preferably contain at least one species of fluorine-containing mesomorphic compound comprising a fluorocarbon terminal portion and a hydrocarbon terminal portion connected with a central core and having a smectic phase or a latent smectic phase.
1. A liquid crystal device, comprising: a pair of substrates each having thereon a transparent electrode, and a chiral smectic liquid crystal composition lacking cholesteric phase disposed between the substrates so as to assume at least two optically stable states,wherein at least one of the substrates is provided with an alignment film which comprises a polyimide represented by a recurring unit of formula (I) shown below and has been subjected to a uniaxial aligning treatment, and said chiral smectic liquid crystal composition has a layer spacing-changing characteristic providing a layer spacing dA at a first transition point where the layer spacing of the liquid crystal composition begins to decrease at a discontinuously larger decrease rate on temperature decrease in vicinity of a transition temperature from smectic A phase to chiral smectic C phase and a layer spacing dmin at a second transition point where the layer spacing of the liquid crystal composition begins to increase on further temperature decrease from the first transition point, wherein 0.990≦dmin /dA, ##STR23## wherein A denotes a tetravalent aliphatic hydrocarbon group free from a planar structure or a tetravalent alicyclic hydrocarbon group, and n is an integer of at least 1. 2. A liquid crystal device according to claim 1, wherein n in the formula (I) is an even number of 2-10.
In view of the above-mentioned circumstances, a principal object of the present invention is to provide a liquid crystal device, particularly a chiral smectic liquid crystal device, containing a stable liquid crystal layer having a bookshelf structure or a structure close thereto having a small layer inclination and assuming a stable alignment state, thereby to exhibit excellent performances, inclusive of a high contrast, a quick response speed, a high resolution and a high brightness and a large display area.
FIG. 1 is a schematic sectional view of an embodiment of the liquid crystal device using a chiral smectic liquid crystal composition according to the present invention.
FIG. 7 is a graph showing a temperature-dependence of layer spacing of the above-mentioned liquid crystal composition. In FIG. 7, dA represents a layer spacing at a first transition point (ca. 42° C.) and dmin represents a layer spacing at a second transition point (ca. 40° C.).
According to the above-described method, it is possible to obtain a layer inclination angle δ intrinsic to a sample liquid crystal composition while substantially removing the effect of a cell thickness thereon. However, it is also possible to obtain a substantially identical δ value in the temperature range of ca. 20° C. to 60° C. by using a 1.2 μm-thick cell having rubbed alignment films of polyimides (like those obtained from a commercially available polyimide precursor, such as "LP-64", "SP-710" or "SP-510" (available from Toray K. K.) instead of such an 80 μm-thick cell subjected to a magnetic field aligning treatment.
Two 1.1 mm-thick glass substrates each provided with a ca. 70 nm-thick ITO film were provided, and further coated with alignment control films by spin coating under different conditions.
More specifically, one substrate (first substrate) was spin-coated at 500 rpm for 15 sec. and then at 1500 rpm for 30 sec. with a solution in an N-methylpyrrolidone/n-butyl cellosolve (=2/1) mixture solvent containing 0.8 wt. % (as solid) of a polyamic acid as a precursor to a polyimide represented by a recurring unit of the following formula (obtained from a reaction of cyclobutanetetracarboxylic dianhydride (trans/cis=8/2) with hexamethylenediamine; both available from Aldrich Co.), followed by pre-drying at 80° C. for 5 min. and hot baking at 200° C. for 1 hour, to form a 6 nm-thick alignment film, which was then rubbed with a nylon cloth as a uniaxial aligning treatment. ##STR17##
The other substrate (second substrate) was coated with 0.4 wt. %-solution in butanol of a silicone-type oligomer ("Glass Resin GR650" (trade name), mfd. by Techneglas Inc.) by spin coating at 2500 rpm for 20 sec., followed by pre-drying at 80° C. for 5 min and hot-drying at 180° C. for 1 hour, to form a 5 nm-thick film.
Then, spacer silica beads of 2.0 μm in average diameter were dispersed on the first substrate and the second substrate onto which an adhesive was applied was superposed thereon to form a blank cell, which was then filled with the above-mentioned chiral smectic liquid crystal composition heated into its isotropic state under vacuum, followed by gradual cooling at a rate of 1° C./min. to room temperature to align liquid crystal molecules, thus producing a liquid crystal device.
A liquid crystal device was prepared by injecting the above-mentioned liquid crystal composition into a cell which was prepared in the same manner as in Example 1 except for forming an alignment control film of a polyimide having the following recurring unit by hot baking on the first substrate. The device showed a contrast of 78. ##STR18##
A liquid crystal device was prepared by injecting the above-mentioned liquid crystal composition into a cell which was prepared in the same manner as in Example 1 except for forming an alignment control film of a silicon coupling agent ("ODS-E", mfd. by Chisso K.K.) applied in a 0.5 wt. %-solution in ethanol on the second substrate. The device showed a contrast of 80.
A liquid crystal device was prepared by injecting the above-mentioned liquid crystal composition into a cell which was prepared in the same manner as in Example 1 except for forming an alignment control film of a polyimide having the following recurring unit by hot baking on the first substrate. The device showed a contrast of 100.
In a 1 liter-glass flask equipped with a 500 W moderate-pressure mercury lamp, 100 g (1.02 M) of maleic anhydride and 1 kg of ethyl acetate were placed and mixed to provide a homogeneous solution. Under stirring in an agron atmosphere, the solution was irradiated with light by using the mercury lamp for 8 hours at 20° C. to precipitate a crystal. After the reaction, the crystal was recovered by filtration to obtain 3.3 g of cyclobutanetetracarboxylic dianhydride (100% trans form).
A liquid crystal device was prepared by injecting the above-mentioned liquid crystal composition into a cell which was prepared in the same manner as in Example 1 except for forming an alignment control film of a polyimide having the following recurring unit by hot baking on the first substrate. The device showed a contrast of 30. ##STR20##

The device showed a contrast of 6. ##STR21##
A liquid crystal device was prepared in the same manner as in Example 1 except for replacing the liquid crystal composition with a chiral smectic liquid crystal composition ("CS-1014" (trade name), mfd. by Chisso K. K.) showing physical properties shown below. The device showed a contrast of 12. ##STR22##

SOLVED: Bonneville still wont start any other ideas - Fixya

Re: Bonneville still wont start any other ideas going to...
Testimonial: "I HAVE DONE THAT I REPLACED THE COIL CAUSE I WAS NOT GETTING ENOUGH SPARK AND IT STILL WONT FIRE UP"
Dustin Nov 21, 2009
so you took the distributer apart, and checked out the module inside it? This is not the coil or cap; it's a little rectangular silver colored bit of electronics that likes to go out, leaving you stranded without any spark. when you replace it, you have to use dielectric grease on the contact surface so you don't burn it out again. The wires inside the distributer (you have to take the distributer out and apart to see them) can get brittle and break off. This will also cause your problem with no spark. Often times, if you're not savy with taking the whole distributer apart, it's just easier to find a working used HEI and put it in there. so you took the distributer apart, and checked out the module inside it?

Sounds like a great kosher meal actually! I haven’t had anything from Malvi wines. Do you know which wines that Roberto Cohen has? I find it supremely difficult to find a good kosher Burgundy, so it sounds like he’s a good name to know.

SAQ has a meursault and a Savigny-les-Beaunes from Roberto Cohen, but I’m not sure about what else he does. He works as a négociant, in Bordeaux as well.
I quickly tried to find info about him, but only found mentions of individual wines here and there.

Knabe will be calling on his colleagues on the Board of Supervisors in opposing the suspension of the C-17 program by introducing a formal motion of opposition next week.“At a time when the Federal Government is pouring hundreds of billions of dollars into efforts to protect jobs and shore-up the economy, it is counterproductive and foolhardy to cut a program that employs 5,000 people at the C-17 plant in Long Beach and another 30,000 people at supplier facilities across the nation,” said Knabe.“Beyond the economic impact from losing these jobs, the C-17 continues to prove that it is needed in the battlefield. Now we need to continue the fight in the political battlefield. This airborne workhorse is critical to U.S. forces and to our homeland security. The C-17 has shown its value many times in Iraq and Afghanistan and its usefulness closer to home during disaster relief missions.”

A Quiet Night | Today's Perfect Moment
The Amazing Story of Ducks, Phone Calls, and Airplanes →
A Quiet Night Posted on July 3, 2017 by Anthony With the rise of craft brewing, and the plethora of choices it has produced, the naming of beer has transcended marketing to be more on par with Roller Derby names or WWE characters. Perhaps it’s best if we don’t take it all too seriously.
Today’s Perfect Moment is remembering that I had this beauty tucked away. I translate it as Black Heart, but I could be wrong. My French lessons were a long time ago and mostly I remember my beautiful language lab teacher Veronique, more than the actual language points we were studying.
I have mixed opinions about naming the beer black heart. My inner Goth thinks its cool, but the writer in me things it is a bit overplayed. I mean, is the person drinking it the one with the black heart? Is the brewmeister the one with the black heart? Does the beer itself have a black heart? I am all for deep questions while drinking, but they should revolved around life and whether we really have liberty,……or 80’s TV trivia.
Since my favourite beer is called (in translation) the End of the World, I shouldn’t be too critical of this one. They could have gone more ridiculous and called it “A Pint of Blood” or “Hell on Earth” or “Agony and Ecstasy” –any accidental guessing at a real beer name is just that, accidental. Any inspiration for a craft brewer, although accidental, will require some compensation (product or money).
The beer was good. I drank it while watching some favourite movies. It was a quiet night of Perfect.

Samsung to pour $3.6B into OLED display tech - CNET
Samsung to pour $3.6B into OLED display tech
The company is working to diversify its business as smartphone sales continue to slump.
11 February 2015 2:09 pm GMT
Samsung's Galaxy Note Edge includes an OLED display. CNET
Samsung is planning to invest $3.6 billion in the manufacturing of organic light-emitting diode (OLED) panels.
The South Korean electronics giant will make mainly medium and small OLED displays, a Samsung spokesman told Reuters on Tuesday.
The $3.6 billion investment in the new product line will be made this year through 2017.
According to analysts, it is likely the OLED display line is intended for curved screens such as those found on Samsung's 5.6-inch Galaxy Note Edge smartphone. Bloomberg reports that Samsung's upcoming flagship model, the next Galaxy smartphone, will come in two styles -- and one variant will be equipped with a dual curved-edge display that covers three sides.
Samsung has recently suffered a drop in smartphone sales, resulting in the need to explore fresh revenue streams and to diversify its business.
According to IDC's latest report on smartphone shipments and sales, Samsung is losing ground to rivals such as Apple. The research firm says Apple "just fell short" of taking over the South Korean firm's top spot in global smartphone shipments over the last quarter.
This story originally posted as "Samsung invests $3.6 billion in OLED technology" on ZDNet.

LONDON (Reuters) - Investors poured the most cash into China funds since July 2015, BofA said on Friday, even as fears grew of a repeat of the 2015-16 bubble that saw the benchmark Shanghai index .SSEC fall more than 40% from its peak in just a few weeks.
Shares in the blue-chip CSI300 index .CSI300 have risen to levels not seen since the 2015 bubble, supported by hopes of an economic recovery, a conducive regulatory environment and retail investor enthusiasm. | [

Sharon Hughes - Blogging Today's Changing Worldviews: HOT OFF THE SHOW! Censoring Christmas this Year
HOT OFF THE SHOW! Censoring Christmas this Year
My guest on the show Wednesday was Rabbi Aryeh Spero of Caucas for America, and fellow Rightalk.com radio broadcaster. He's a staunch supporter of keeping Christianity in Christmas. A Jew standing up for Christmas! He talked about why.
While Walmart, Macy's and Kohl's have relented of their banning Merry Christmas this year, Best Buy and others such as Crate&Barrel, Ann Taylor, Lane Bryant, Bath & Body Works and Neiman Marcus haven't joined their ranks. They are banning or continuing to ban Christmas from their stores this year. What’s the matter with them, you’d think they’d learn from the other stores that got hit hard in sales last year. It’s a high price to pay for political correctness. What are they thinking?
But, this is about more than Christmas, isn’t it? It’s about Christianity. Materialism aside, Christmas is the zenith, if you will, of public acknowledgement and observance of what Christianity is about. And for those who say that isn’t so recent polls show...
~95 percent of Americans celebrate Christmas (Fox News/Opinion Dynamics).
~90 percent of Americans recognize Christmas as the birthday of Jesus Christ (Gallup).
~88 percent of Americans say it is okay for people to wish others "Merry Christmas" and the majority of Americans are more likely to wish someone they just met "Merry Christmas" rather than "Happy Holidays" (CNN/USA Today/Gallup).
~87 percent of Americans believe nativity scenes should be allowed on public property (Fox News/Opinion Dynamics).
Yet because of political correctness and threats of lawsuits from the ACLU, Christmas is increasingly under attack. And the courts are agreeing with wrong interpretations of the lst Amendment - "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion." But they seem to leave out - "or prohibiting the free exercise thereof." This is not what the Founding Fathers had in mind...this is an agenda, and proof that the courts are in step with the far-left ACLU?
In Wired Magazine Gary Wolf wrote recently about "The Church of the Non-Believers" -that a band of intellectual brothers is mounting a crusade against belief in God. He quoted Richard Dawkins Professor at Oxford and leader of the New Atheism movement who said, "I think we're in the same position the gay movement was in a few decades ago. There was a need for people to come out. The more people who came out, the more people had the courage to come out. I think that's the case with atheists. They are more numerous than anybody realizes." Dawkins looks forward to the day when the first US politician is honest about being an atheist. He says, "Highly intelligent people are mostly atheists. Not a single member of either house of Congress admits to being an atheist. It just doesn't add up. Either they're stupid, or they're lying. And have they got a motive for lying? Of course they've got a motive! Everybody knows that an atheist can't get elected."
Only 3% of the American population is atheist...it’s amazing how such a small minority can make so many waves...don't you think?
For a list of the stores we've found so far that are banning Christmas this year go to ChangingWorldviews.com and scoll down to the Take Action Box.

From the Heart: Let’s Talk About Rejections
Home Contact Us Sunday, December 6, 2009
I just discovered your blog a few days ago through another agent. I began reading a few of the articles last night, beginning with Terry's. He left me in awe, or maybe it wasn't him but God using Terry's post to speak. Today was no different. Ms. Hart, I know you don't know exactly what it was you said that blessed me so very much, but you did, and I thank you!
Well, here's my two cents... Bingo - to all of teh above. Bingo.At the risk of sounding cocky, I landed a publishing contract relatively quickly and relatively easily.On Aug. 16th (2008) I snail-mailed 20 query letters. On November 28th (2008), The Dundurn Group offered me a contract.I did my homework before sending out any query letters. I did teh reserach, I read how-to books and advice columns. Of the 20 query letters I sent, 8 or so asked to see the whole MS, and as I said, Dundurn offered a contract in November. A few month after I signed the contract with them , anothe rpublisher also offered me a contract (which I had to turn down of course).So, all this was about a year ago... and my book has just been released!! "Blood and Groom" is now in stores and I am so glad to see it there.Follow the advice in this posting. Create a good product. Do your homework. Good luck!Cheers, Jill Edmondson
As a contemporary romance writer... it does my heart well to read, "We're looking Romance, romance, romance!" *grin*Thank for the tips!!
I know the rules, but it's good to read them again. Thanks for the good post.
Thank you for taking the time to share such a timely, informative, and sincerely encouraging post. We writers don't often consider the vulnerability an agent must endure in order to front all the fiery darts aimed at their authors. Here's wishing you double blessings for that, and peaceful happy holidays!
Thanks to all of you for your comments. We aim to please :) We sincerely appreciate your comments and the fact that you read our blog!Jill - you were fortunately to land a contract quickly and easily. It does happen, and sometimes it takes a long time.Blessings and great success to all of you.
Joyce, you're the best! Thanks for sharing all your wisdom with us. I couldn't have asked for a better agent. :-)
Joyce: Thomas Nelson told me “we don’t want any dead bodies, we want lighter stories.” Timothy Fish: Is that dead bodies in romance or is it dead bodies in everything?
Thank you for writing this out so clearly! Over a year ago, I submitted to your agency and clearly wasn't ready with the wrong book. It was my first attempt at writing a proposal and looking back now, I am so embarrassed. Your agency was right in rejecting me. I hadn't put it together properly and know that. I hope to try again someday:)
Joyce: I wonder if Satan often whispered in Jesus' ear: "You are not called by God; look around you at all this rejection!"I'm so grateful HE didn't give up.
I just saw Mr. Burn's response in an ACFW email loop and thought I'd check out his blog. WOW! I am impressed by the wealth of information in this single entry! Thank you so much for your honest summary of what your agency is looking for, including the specialties of many popular publishing houses. I will follow your blog and try to read through older posts.God Bless!
Thanks, but I just posted the blog - this was written by Joyce. That would be her picture next to it. She did a great job.
I recently found this blog and come back to it often. Thank you, Joyce, for this useful information and explaining what you're looking for at this time. I think the proposal is very difficult to write, but I see why it's so necessary that it be done the right way. It took a lot of time and effort and even then I'm not sure I've hit the mark.
Good reminders, but I have to admit that I find your submission guidelines a little confusing in one respect. I'm not sure exactly what you mean by a 'sell sheet' and how it differs from a synopsis. I did google the term and incorporated others' suggestions; but in the query I recently sent Tamela, I wasn't at all certain I'd done it correctly.
it was you said that blessed me so very much, but you did, and I thank you! Work from home India December 11, 2009 at 11:48 AM | [

A-Rod Around: My Family Visits Part III: South West Uganda
Lake Mburo was a wonderful first stop in our East African tour. Next, we moved deeper into the South West of Uganda. We passed through beautiful changing landscapes. Kabale is known as “little Switzerland” with its big hills and lush green vegetation. In Kabale we picked up a new driver named George. George was the best driver we had throughout our travels. He was very personable, respectful and informative. George took us by Lake Bunyonyi and told us the history of the Crater Lake and local legends. There is an island in the middle of the lake called Punishment Island. It was used for girls who became pregnant outside of wedlock. They would be abandoned there to die. Times quickly changed and once a girl was dropped off a man who couldn’t afford a dowry could go and rescue the girl and make her his wife. Neither tradition is in place anymore.
Kabale District made way into Kisoro District where we ventured off the main road and headed into the Impenetrable Forest. The roads declined drastically. It seemed like we were driving on pure rock face much of the time. Up and down winding roads we traversed. It took us 1 hour to go 10 kilometers! George told us driving on those roads was an, “African massage!” But the drive was worth it because the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest was one of the most beautiful places I have ever been. It isn’t called impenetrable without reason. This was the jungle/forest your mind conjures up when you think of Tarzan: dense, vibrant green, tall trees, vines, etc. The only things living in this forest are mountain gorillas. The gorillas were actually our reason for going here. We went to track them!
There is only one small area in the whole world that holds the last remaining mountain gorillas. This small area is the corner of Uganda, Rwanda and DR Congo. With this unique fact, we couldn’t pass up the opportunity to meet our hairy brothers and sisters.
We began our trek early in the morning walking down steep hills on small footpaths. This only lasted for a small while and then we entered into the impenetrable forest. Again, it is named impenetrable for a reason. Our guides used machetes and hacked away at vines, leaves, trees, etc. as we stumbled over forest growth and ducked beneath tangled branches and large spider webs. (I’m not sure how this factors into the ecologically sustainable factor their brochures assure us is their highest priority.) As we made our way into the forest we could hear the gorillas moving around and grunting at one another. Our excitement spiked and Melissa and I could barely contain the smiles on our faces, though we needed to with all the bugs flying at us and the extreme humidity chocking our throats.
These mountain gorillas are beyond describable. It was truly a unique experience and incomprehensible unless you have seen them yourself. They are HUGE! We were surrounded by them and within reaching distance at most times. Their fur looked so soft and there were moments I was tempted to reach out and feel it. Don’t worry, I refrained and kept my life. The family we trekked held 3 silverbacks, 3 babies and 12 women. What surprised me the most was how much they moved. I thought we’d see them and they’d be relaxing, just laying around for us to take those post-card perfect pictures. This was not the case. They were continually moving deeper (and further down the mountain) around the forest constantly eating any vegetation they put their mighty hands on.
After an hour it was time to leave our new friends and head back. Mountain gorillas are wild animals and they are only allowed a small exposure to humans due to the ease of diseases that could be spread which leads to sick gorillas and extinction could be much closer than desired. An hour doesn’t seem like a long time when you sign up but once you are there an hour is the perfect time. Now, that we’d navigated further down in the impenetrable forest, we had to climb out, a much harder task and quite daunting at times. But we made it and it was worth all the leg pain, the lung heaving and the gallons of sweat we excreted from our bodies.

TALK OF THE TOWN: Holly Willoughby's early morning blunder | Daily Mail Online
Published: 19:01 EDT, 22 September 2018 | Updated: 19:28 EDT, 22 September 2018
Holly Willoughby always looks perfect on This Morning, so it’s reassuring to learn she has domestic disasters like the rest of us.
Holly has revealed she had a problem with her keys one day last week – and then realised that she’d picked three-year-old son Chester’s toy set when she rushed out to work at 6am.
This Morning star Holly Willoughby, pictured, has revealed she made a small blunder on her way into the studio during the week
The TV star picked up her 3-year-old son's toy keys while dashing out of her home
Headline goes here TALK OF THE TOWN: The Queen's love for the gangs of New...
TALK OF THE TOWN: Bodyguard heart-throb Richard Madden...
Now Lily, about that flight you took with my brother...
Now here’s a conversation I wished I’d overheard... Lily Allen, 33, came face to face with Noel Gallagher at the Mercury Prize on Thursday – the night before she released her memoir, My Thoughts Exactly.
In the book, she confesses to having a liaison with Noel’s brother Liam, 46, on a plane en route to the Fuji Rock Festival in 2009.
Lily, who missed out on winning the £25,000 prize to indie band Wolf Alice, looked to be having an intense moment with Noel, 51. Maybe she’ll tell all in her next book...
Lily Allen was pictured during the week with former Oasis front man Noel Gallagher

Tammy's Tidbits: slow 20K
I was to do 20K today. My legs were tired. It was warm (72F, 22C and 60% humidity). I was slow.
I knew by 5K that this was going to be a bad day. By 7.5K I was wondering how I was going to do 20K. But I just kept on going, and was very slow, and my legs hurt a lot. I finished. That's about all I can say about this. I really struggled today. It was not my heart rate - that was relatively low. My legs were just so tired and heavy, and I felt terrible. It was ugly, and it hurt. I hope after a cross-training day tomorrow that I will feel better.
My friend David must have read my mind, because about 10km he sent me a text that read, "Tough times never last tough people do that's why you're an awesome athlete XOX." Nice. It did help keep me going though it didn't make it any less tough!
The workout is on two watches because I gave my old 305 one last chance, after a hard reset. About 400m in, it lost the satellite signal. Grrrrr. So I switched to the new watch and did the other 19.6K on that one.
First watch 0.44km in 2:41.
Second watch 19.60km in 2:09:11 for 6:35/km with ave HR 140.

Sepoys and Griffins: 2011
Captain's Carpenter column moves inland, 1783
Captain Little's Detachment & the Fort of Jaigarh ...
Captain's Carpenter and his operations around Raja...
Karachi in 1866
Figure 1. Exterior of Mirjan Fort.
The forces from Bombay, were quickly reinforced by a brigade brought up from Ponnani on the Malabar Coast where they had narrowly escaped defeat by Tipu Sultan's forces, after a disastrous expedition to Palghat.
Carpenter calculated that
"the troops already assembled, under Gen. Matthews, I may, I think, venture to state, that the whole amount of force employed on this occasion, in the invasion of Kanara, did not exceed, at the utmost, 5,800 men; of whom scarcely 1,200 were European soldiers." [1]
General Matthews then determined to attack Mirjan Fort which lay up river along the route that would have to be taken to Compta (or Kumta as it is currently known.) and on to Onore.
Figure 2. Map showing the location of Mirjan Fort,
which threatened the flank of the General's army should it wish
to march to Onore which was situated south of Kumta,
which lay on the route the troops would have to take.
The attack on Mirjan started off rather inauspiciously for the East India Company force, however it was quickly realised that the garrison in the fort at Mirjan was not able or willing to put up any significant resistance.
"The arrival of this powerful addition to our force, seems to have determined the General to employ a part of the troops in an immediate attack on Merjee, which looked so invitingly down the river, at the distance of about four or five miles. The division destined for this under Col. Mc'Leod, was accordingly embarked on the river; Lieut. Ross, with whom I became now for the first time acquainted, and myself, with a detachment from the second batt. being ordered on dutv with this force.
We had, however, scarcely entered our boats, when having, for some reason or other, abandoned this design for the present, the General countermanded his orders, and we re-landed.
It is, however, to be acknowledged, that in this change of plan, Gen. Matthews acted with the soundest discretion; since it is sufficiently obvious that by a waste of time, which might have been incurred in attacking a place of such minor importance, the paramount object of the expedition would have been exposed to the hazard of defeat. It is probable that he therefore determined to establish a more centrical, and more eligible basis for his operations, by the reduction of Onore.
Not many nights preceeding, a body of the enemy supposed to belong to the garrison of that place, had made their appearance in the cocoa-nut tope or grove, immediately under the fortified post, at Compta; which I have already mentioned to have been occupied by Capt. Lampard and his corps of grenadiers. With a caution which exposed him to ridicule, that officer, instead of attacking these undisciplined irregulars, chose to cram his whole batt. about four hundred strong, into a work where there was hardly standing room for the men. The enemy deriving courage from this unusual proof of deference, became, as was to be expected, more daring and insolent; although they immediately withdrew on the appearance of the reinforcement, which was hastening to the relief of the post."
Figure 3. Compta or Kumpta today.
[Please click on image for larger version.][2]
While it is not possible to be certain where Captain Lampard and his grenadiers had built their fortified post. However Google Earth shows that today Kumpta stands on top of a kidney shaped ridge, some 20 to 25 metres higher than the surrounding fields and plantations. It is very probable that this ridge was the scene of the post and Lampard's humiliation.
Figure 4. Kumta today from Google Earth showing the
kidney shaped ridge that was probably the site
of Captain Lampard's post.
"Whether this circumstance might not have had some influence in drawing the attention of the General more immediately to that quarter, I cannot pretend to say. But the whole united force was shortly afterwards in full march for Onore; Capt. Carpenter's batt. the old second, to which I was attached, or the greater part of it, being left to protect the stores and other equipments, that remained at Rajamandroog."
General Matthew's main force moved off to Onore (known today as Honavar.), approximately 15 miles to the south, where he and his force set about besieging the town. Captain Carpenter's force was set the task of acting as a covering force, moving towards the west and the foothills of the ghats.
"To our unfeigned satisfaction, our confinement at Rajamandroog was now to terminate. Our commandant having received orders, from head quarters, to proceed with his batt. into the districts within land of Onore to the eastward; for the purpose of repelling any attempt that might be made by the enemy in that direction. We marched accordingly in the direction indicated to us; our corps becoming thus a moving column of observation; acting about sixteen or eighteen miles to the eastward of Onore, and in the direct road as we afterwards found to the Bilghy gauht."
The position this column took cannot be determined exactly, but it is very likely that it was on the line of the modern road from Kumta heading inland towards Siddapura. The road traverses the Bilgi Ghat which rises to about 540 metres in about 2 miles as the Crow flies, although many more by actual twists and turns of the road.
Figure 5. Google Earth Image showing the location of the
Bilgie Ghat. It is probable that Carpenter's force was
stationed in the plain at the toe of the Ghat.
"I am disposed to think, that the corps with Capt. Carpenter at this period, after deducting the men detached, could not have mustered more than three hundred firelocks; one-half of which, however, were veteran grenadiers, inured to service.
To these latter, under Lieuts. Hodges and Weldon, I was now attached. The officers present were—Capt. Carpenter, Lieuts. Hodges, Weldon, Fyfe and Lawrence, Ensigns Morris, Lonsdale, and myself. Lieut. Ross must have been left in command at Rajamandroog."
As so often was the case with 18th Century armies, the column had little or no logistical support, and was expected to forage for it's own rations.
Lieutenant's Weldon and Price troops were engaged in plundering stocks of rice from one unfortunate village when they came under attack. It is not clear if the attackers were infuriated villagers, or part of a relief force heading towards Onore in support of that towns resistance to East India Company attack.
"Be this as it may, Lieut.Weldon and myself, with part of the grenadiers, were one day on the advanced guard, in front of an obscure hamlet, called Moordnulla, no longer perhaps in existence; and as we held the commissariat in our own hands, the sepoys were engaged in thrashing rice from the straw, which lay stacked about the villages; being at the time the only source from which we derived our subsistence. There was in front, a rice ground, about a hundred and fifty or two hundred yards over; skirted on the other side by a pretty thick wood of forest trees; and we had on our left, a shallow and transparent river, running over a bed of rock and gravel; and, I am inclined to think, the same river that runs by the fort of Merjee to Rajamandroog."
Figure 6. A modern photo taken by trekker's showing
the river near Kumta, with the ghats in the background.
Although it is impossible to be sure if it is the same
location described, it gives a very good idea of the
type of territory the column was operating in.
"We had a small advanced party in the outskirts of the wood in our front; and it might have been about one or two in the afternoon, when some musket shot from the wood rendered it necessary that our sepoys should relinquish their employment of threshing, and betake themselves to their arms. In the meantime, I was sent forward by Lieut. Weldon, to bring off our party from the wood. While I was calling in the sentries, several shot were fired at us; and the sepoy orderly who attended me, received a dangerous wound between the thighs, which lamed him for life. I was observing their movements of the few matchlock men that made their appearance squatting among the trees, when a shot struck one of the trees by which I was standing; and a splinter grazed the corner of my eye; without, however, any great injury. I thought it, nevertheless, rather a narrow escape—and I now withdrew the party, and regained the advanced guard, which stood to their arms coolly, awaiting the attack. As the enemy gave no further indication of their presence, they must have immediately retired. And this was probably nothing more than what, in magniloquent terms, might be called a reconnaissance, to discover our force and position.
With that decision which marked his character, Capt. Carpenter, at the head of the main body of our diminutive force, immediately advanced to our support; and as if to demonstrate our readiness to accept the challenge, we all together entered the wood in our front: and having pushed through to the opposite side and some distance beyond, without discovering any vestige of the enemy, we took up our ground for the day."[4]
The small column now decided to advance up the ghats. This must have been a daunting task as they faced a steep climb in the dark up a twisting mountain path, that they had never seen or marched up before. The path would be lined on both sides with dense forest. Today the area is very popular with trekkers and wildlife tourists.
"At our evening parade of the same day, Lieuts. Hodges and Weldon received orders to march with both companies of grenadiers, immediately after night-fall, for the purpose of attacking the enemy— now known to have taken post in some strength, in the Bilghy gauht (or ghat—or pass of the mountains) at the distance of about twelve or fourteen miles. Immediately after dusk, accordingly, we set off; and having continued our march during the greater part of the night, about three in the morning, or at all events some time before day-break, we began to ascend the pass—not without considerable difficulty, in preserving the connection of our files in the darkness, and through the ruggedness of the road.
At last, without meeting with any other obstacle, we came to a gateway defended by a tower, with guns on each flank; which we immediately assailed. Lieut. Weldon being lifted up by myself into one of the embrasures, while I pushed myself round the flank and came upon the rear ;—the enemy making off with great precipitation. Seizing a Frenchman, who had been posted here to manage the guns, I held him up in my arms to remove the gate fastenings, which were otherwise above our reach; and the gate being thus thrown open, the sepoys entered without difficulty. We now hastened forwards; and at a short distance further up the pass, came upon a second gateway, fortified in the same manner with the first. This was also immediately attacked and carried, after a very slight resistance."
Figure 7. The head of the Bilgi Ghat. Even today, and without a tower
commanded by a solitary Frenchman in residence, it is a stiff climb
"On this occasion, having warded off the push of a spear from under the eaves, which had nearly taken my eye, I ascended the tiled roof of the gateway; and the ground rising abruptly in the rear, I jumped down, as it happened, without injury.
Day was now breaking, and we continued to advance to a considerable distance, perhaps more than a mile, beyond the summit of the pass; until we came to the enemy's bazaar, which we found abundantly furnished with every thing we could desire for the supply of our brave and faithful sepoys. All this was accomplished, as far as I am able to recollect, without a single casualty; which, considering how strongly fortified and armed these gateways were found to be, could not have been the case, unless the enemy had been completely panic stricken."
Following the fall of Onore, General Matthews had marched inland to Bednur using a route that ran to the south of the Bilgie Ghat route. His success in marching inland may have diverted attention away from the route Captain Carpenter's force was taking. Unfortunately Matthews was over stretching himself and disaster would follow.
Meanwhile Captain Carpenter's detachment found itself in what sounds to have been a very pleasant and hitherto untouched settlement. As so often in war, the arrival of troops resulted in a disaster for the inhabitants, who after a brief resistance, took to the nearby hills, forced to look on in horror as their town was ransacked for food and valuables.
"In the course of the two following days, Capt. Carpenter joined with the remainder of the detachment; and we had by this time learnt, that the town of Bilghy, the capital of the district, lay at the distance of about twelve or fourteen miles to the eastward of the pass, of which we had so fortunately obtained possession. On the night of the third, or at latest of the fourth day, after such possession, the whole detachment was on the march to attack the town. We encountered neither obstacle nor interruption until a little before day-light; when a small guard at a sort of barrier gate at the entrance of the place, discharged their matchlocks at us; but immediately making off, left us an unmolested passage.
When day-light came, the town being completely evacuated by the inhabitants, we took possession of the palace of the Rajah; a spacious mansion at the eastern extremity of the long street, of which the town of Bilghy is principally composed; and we found it stored to profusion, with the richest stuffs, shawls, sauries, and other splendid articles of dress; which, at a proper market, might have been disposed of at considerable value. We afterwards learned, to our regret, that all this was the property of the Rajah, said to be favourably disposed towards the British government. Of all, however, we had, without ceremony, taken possession; making on the spot a fair and equitable distribution of the property. There were, however, other articles of considerable value, which we could not so conveniently dispose of; in particular, an extensive assortment of brass and copper ware of every variety, to the value of thirty or forty thousand rupees, which we were constrained to leave untouched.
It may be needless to observe that our operations required despatch, as the enemy must have been in superior force close at hand; and there was full in our view to the eastward, at the distance of not more than eight or nine miles, a respectable looking hill fort, to which our information assigned the name of Goopty. Indeed we must reasonably have expected, considering the paucity of our numbers, that our retreat to the gauht would not be accomplished without molestation.
Having therefore passed the day and the ensuing night, in, and about, the palace of Bilghy, we were assembled about four in the morning round a blazing fire, in the square of the palace; when a jassous or courier, entered, and delivered a note into Capt. Carpenter's hand. The note was from Gen. Matthews himself; announcing the triumphant intelligence, that he was in possession of the ancient and opulent metropolis of Bednour."[5]
The enthusiasm with which this most welcome intelligence was hailed, may be easily conceived— nor shall I ever forget the joy, amounting almost to extacy, with which the sepoys passed to each other the triumphant word "Nuggar lear—Nuggar is fallen."* This gratifying information must then have been received by us about the 31st January, 1783; as Gen. Matthews is known, from his own letters, to have entered Bednour, at the invitation of Ayauz Saheb (usually called Hyat Saheb) on the 29th of that month. The General's note conveyed at the same time an order, that our small force should proceed immediately to the northward, for the reduction of the enemy's forts and districts, north of the river of Merjee. The resolution to withdraw from our present position, which had been taken prior to this information, was thus confirmed or enforced, by the instructions of our Commander-in-Chief.
Figure 8. Bilgie Village.
You get the sense that David Price and the other members of the column found a rather special village at Bilghie, and one that was different to the many others they had visited in their campaigns. Sadly they were like to pillage the village like many other generations of soldiers before and since them.
"I have perfect recollection of the singular cleanness exhibited in every part of the very pleasing little town of Bilghy. The small verandah, in front of every house, was the very pattern of neatness and purity; and I do not bear in mind the image of any place that, in this respect, I can venture to compare with Bilghy as it then stood; unless it be the neat and well ordered weaving town of Gohkauk, below the fall of the river Gutpoorba. It was, however, a complete solitude: for, during the day and night which we remained there, we did not see a single living being, ourselves excepted, in the shape of an inhabitant."
The poor inhabitants watching on from the nearby hills, must have been very pleased to see them leaving for the coast.
It is not possible from the Google Earth images to readily identify the Raja's Palace. Has anybody ever visited Bilgie?
If you live in the area, I would be fascinated to see pictures of the village, and especially any of the older houses. Do they still have verandas?

If like me you enjoy reading dusty old books filled with tales of long ago, one of the greatest pleasures of recent years has been the ability to actually visit those places from the comfort of my own study.
It is now possible to visualise the places that these events actually took place in. No longer are we limited to black and white illustrations and tiny maps.
With many books now readily available on Google Books for the first time, and with the internet becoming readily available in India, many people are beginning to visit the places described in these books, and it is becoming possible to trace the routes of some of the many expeditions described so vividly in these old books.
It is surprising just how many of the places and locations can still be found to have remains that witnessed those events so long ago.
The following blog is based around my research into the route that was followed by Captain Little's Detachment in 1790. A fascinating account of this long forgotten expedition was written by Edward Moor, (1771-1848) one of the officers who accompanied this detachment. It is called "A narrative of the operations of captain Little's detachment"[2]
The first troops under Captain Little, consisting of the 800 men from both the 8th, and 11th Bombay Native Infantry, supported by one company of European, and two companies of Native Artillery equipped with six 6 pounder guns, left Bombay on the 23rd May 1790 and sailed south to Jaigur [3]
Amongst the officers who went in the first detachment before Captain Little was his good friend and colleague Lieutenant David Price. Price has left a particularly good record of this expedition.
The mobilisation of the first detachment and its departure from Bombay are described below.
"About that period, a detachment having been ordered to hold itself in readiness, under the command of Capt. Little, to join a Mahratta force, destined to operate against the northern part of Tippoo Sultaun's dominions, and finding that our battalion the ninth, was not to form a part of this detachment; on the contrary, that a junior corps, the eleventh, had received the preference; I applied to be removed to Capt. Little's battalion the 8th. and succeeded in my application. My friends Boden and Foster joined the eighth at the same time.
The detachment was composed of a company of European artillery, under Capt. now Col. Thompson, with Lieuts.West and Ireland; and of the eighth and eleventh, batts- of native infantry, each completed to eight hundred rank and file; with six six-pounder field pieces: constituting, altogether, a force of about 1700 strong. It cannot fail to be remarked, that on this, and many other occasions, the functions of a Brigadier were discharged by a Captain of infantry.
On Monday, the 24th of May, 1790, with the fourth company of the eighth batt. I embarked from the pier-head, at Bombay, on board of a batella, named the Ruparel, which seems to have been a favorite appellation with this description of craft. Our expedition commenced with sorrow; for while the embarkation was going on, the tolling of the church bell, announced to us, the funeral of a very amiable and interesting young woman; the dearly beloved, and recently departed, wife of our gallant commander—Little—whose feelings at such a crisis, may be easier conceived than described.
At seven in the morning, we weighed anchor, by signal from the Wolf gallivat; and, in company with the other vessels which conveyed the detachment, stood to sea; and having cleared the entrance of the harbour, directed our course to the southward. On the 25th of May, we were off Jinjerah; recently described as among the last of the remaining possessions of the Siddees; at one time of considerable note on the coast, and in the Dehkan. At twelve o'clock, the breeze became fresh and fair, and we passed fort Victoria in the course of the afternoon. A ship was observed proceeding to the northward; and at midnight we came to anchor by signal from the Wolf— our Commandant being on board that vessel. [4]
The expedition was intended to support a Mahratta force under Putseram Bhow which was going to attack Tipu Sultan's Mysore. The East India Company was under threat from Tipu, as were his other neighbours the Nizam of Hyderabad, and the Mahrattas.
The East India Company hoped to reduce Tipu's numerical superiority by forming a coalition with the Nizam and the Mahrattas, and to thereby be able to threaten Tipu's borders from all sides.
It seems extraordinary today how such small forces could be projected over such long distances, and into parts of India which were so little known by the English at this time.
Even today this area is little frequented, and has relatively poor communications.
First the expedition sailed 180 miles south from Bombay to Jaigur. Then it sailed perhaps another 50 miles up the river from Jaigur, to cover the 25 miles, the Crow would have flown.
The troops then disembarked and started to march overland covering 275 miles in a relatively straight line to Dharwad, but which was probably much further on foot for the poor Sepoys and camp followers.
The first force arrived in late May 1790 in time to be caught in the onset of the Monsoon rains.
Moor's description of this first detachment is quite brief.[5]
A second contingent was sent down the coast as reinforcements after the Monsoon had blown out. The arrival this second detachment under the command of Colonel Frederick, that had departed from Bombay on the 19th of November 1790, is described in more detail by Moor who was present with this fleet.
"The fleet of boats, with the Intrepid, anchored in the bay, formed by the entrance of Jaigur river, on the 21 st of November, and saluted the fort with five guns, to which one was returned. The entrance to this river is defended by forts on each side, considerably elevated under the southern one of which it is necessary to pass, and which would, were they in repair, be a sufficient defence. A wall of communication is carried up the side of the hill to the southern fort, from a battery of eleven embrasures on a level with the water, which, like the other fortifications, are in very bad repair. The bay will shelter small vessels from the violence of the south-west monsoon, but has not sufficient water to admit any of considerable draft, there being but two and a half fathoms on the bar at three quarters ebb, and the Intrepid grounded at low water. Lieutenant M'Luer says, there are eight fathoms near the fort, which he calls Zyghur, and observed it to be in latitude; 17°. 16'. N. " [6]
From Figure 2 below, it is easy to see how the fort dominated the river entrance.

The white bar at the left of the image is 1 mile long.
Most of the Fort survives much as it must have looked in 1790. Sadly this magnificent lonely spot is currently being redeveloped as the site of a port for a coal jetty for a 1200 MWe Coal fired power station.

The white scale bar measures 100 metres.
The local Mahratta commander of the fort must have had a commanding view out to sea. It is just possible to make out the headland to the north around which Captain Pickett brought his small fleet of Country vessels containing the reinforcements for the force besieging Dharwad.

The arrival of the first detachment is best described by Lieutenant David Price.
"On Wednesday, the 26th of May, at five in the morning, we weighed anchor; and soon after perceived that we had left Sevendroog to the northward. At nine o'clock we were off Gopalgurr, commonly called Dabul. At noon, or shortly afterwards, the breeze continuing auspiciously favourable, we rounded Cape Z ; and about two in the afternoon we entered Jygurr, or Zygurr, river, anchoring abreast of the fort. At this moment a boat passed to the shore from the Wolf; and soon returning on board, the signal was made for proceeding up the river. We now received a pilot on board, weighed anchor, and crossed the bar, about five o'clock—the channel lying close to the south bank. Both banks of the river wild, hilly and inhospitable, in appearance; but beautifully wooded to the water's edge. Winding in its course to right and left, every few hundred yards, and as smooth and transparent as a mirror, the river itself was as beautiful as it was romantic ; and this, with the gilding of hope fresh upon our minds, rendered our inland voyage indescribably delightful. About nine o'clock, the tide having turned, we came to an anchor; by the pilot's account about four kutcha, or short, kosse, or about five miles from the entrance of the river. We had observed a few solitary hovels, in the recesses on either side.
On the 27th of May, we weighed at day-light; and gliding upwards with the tide, the surface of the river continued unruffled and transparent as crystal; while the alternate receding and overlopping of the wooded banks, exhibited the appearance of a chain of lakes. Nothing could be more enchanting than the varied scenery which we surveyed during this short passage. The banks as we advanced upwards, began to exhibit marks of cultivation, as they lost their mountainous character, and became more level." [9]

The following sailing directions published in 1820 by Hamilton, based on the surveys carried out by Lieutenant Dominicetti, of the Bombay Marine, who was based at Fort Victoria through the Mahratta War of 1817 to 1818, describe the port in more detail.
"Zyghur (or Jaighur).—A sea-port on the sea coast of the Concan, 123 miles S. by E. from Bombay. Lat. 17° 14' N. long. 73° 23' E, The two points that form the entrance of Zyghur bay are about five miles distant, and it is about two miles and a half deep. The entrance of the river is about three quarters of a mile broad, with three fathoms and a half depth, at the least. The channel is navigable for a considerable way inland, and has a large town on the south side about 13 miles above the fort. There is no town at the mouth of the river, but there are several straggling villages on both sides. There is plenty of good water in the upper fort, and at some of the adjacent villages, but in the lower fort, and near the usual landing place, the water is brackish. In most respects the river is as safe and commodious as that of Viziadroog, only a little more caution is requisite while entering. At the entrance of both, the water is usually quite smooth during the S. W. monsoon; and inside, vessels of any draught of water may lie completely sheltered at all seasons of the year.—(Lieutenant Dominicette, etc.)"[11]
Edward Moor goes on to describe the journey up the river.
Figure 7. The River Mouth, showing the bar at the entrance.
The first detachment anchored at Noon on the 27th May and commenced landing. It is not possible to be sure where thus is, except that it was on the south bank of the river.
Moor and his party landed at a place called Cadona, and it may well have been the same place David Price describes. Here's Moor's description of the landings.
"The boats continued on the river, dropping down with the tide, until the 26th, when the troops disembarked near Cadona, a small village, and marched five miles to Sungumseer, the same encampment formerly occupied by Captain Little. Cadona, where we disembarked, is not, we conjecture, more than twenty-five miles from Jaigur, although much more by water, from the river having so many turns among hills, which generally rife abruptly near its banks, and are chiefly covered with wood. Many villages, and some cultivation are seen, when the hills discontinuing allow any extensive prospect." [12]
Figure 8. The Jaigad River approximately 16 miles
from the coast as the Crow flies. Perhaps 25 to 30 miles by boat.[13]
David Price describes Captain Little's detachments next stage on the march as follows.
"We anchored at noon; and the rest of the boats gradually arriving, did the same. We now landed, and proceeding on board the Wolf, we there found that Capt. Little had just returned from an interview with some of the native authorities up the river; and we received orders to disembark immediately, on the south side. Our landing appears to have been attended with some difficulty which is not explained. About five in the afternoon, Lieut. Ross, our brigade major, and myself, with the disembarked men of the eighth batt. marched after Lieut. Boden, who had proceeded with his division to the ground marked out for our halting place.
During our short march, we experienced a violent thunder storm, with heavy rain; and reached our ground at dusk in the evening, completely drenched. We found our friend Boden with his division, attended by a Brahmin, said to have been the Killadaur, or military governor of Retnagheriah. Capt. M.c. Donald's batt. the eleventh, dropped in by degrees in our rear. We were accommodated in a set of chuppers, pendals, or leaf-roofed huts; formed for our reception, of the green-leafed branches of trees, which the neighbouring woods furnished in abundance. Our temporary cantonment had its rear in a bend of the river; with our right flank towards the gauht, stated to be at the distance of two days' march to the south-east.
On the 28th May, the guns and stores were gradually coming in; and we continued stationary on our ground, which we now understood to be near a village called Sungmiser, or Sungumiswara, the "confluence of Iswara." It was here that I first pitched my raouty, a description of tent, with dwarf walls, and no fly. At ten o'clock at night, Lieut. Boden with his company was sent forward to ascend the Ambah gauht, in order to protect the ammunition and stores, which proceeded at the same time. The guns and tumbrels were all brought up during the day and night.
On Sunday, the 30th of May, still stationary: sending off" stores and provisions. The guns and tumbrels moved forwards at ten o'clock at night, during which we had much lightning and some rain.
On the 31st of May, we continued on our ground, expecting however to march on the morrow; the stores and other equipments having now been all sent forward. We had thunder and rain, and every symptom of an approaching monsoon, during the former part of the night. Capt. Thompson marched, notwithstanding, with the artillery.
On the 1st of June, the morning was fair and pleasant. At six o'clock, Lieut. Heath marched with part of the eleventh battalion." [14]
From the above detailed descriptions, it is possible to develop a map setting out the likely route of the detachments. To do this I have used an American military map produced in the 1950's. It was probably developed from earlier British military mapping.

Figure 10. Probable site of the camp at Candona. In the 1950's a village named as Kondya on the US Military maps was located here, and inspection of Google images suggest that very few other suitable sites are as readily accessible on the south bank for boats.
In my next installment I will follow Captain Little's detachment up over the Amba Ghaut [Ambaghat] and onto Darwar [Dharwad]
If you come from the area mentioned in this blog I would really like to hear from you.
From my other research in Thalaserry and Cuddalore, I am aware that there are many Indian's with proud heritages that go back to events two hundred years ago. Did your family march with the Mahrattas to Darwar and Seringapatam?
If you have photos of any of the locations mentioned, I would be fascinated to receive copies.

Captain's Carpenter and his operations around Rajahmundroog, 1783
Figure 1. Mouth of River Aghanashini near Fort Rajahmundroog.

Most people reading the history of the British involvement in India read about the events that occurred during the 19th Century, the Mutiny, the Sikh Wars or the North West Frontier.
With hundreds, if not thousands of books written about this period, and with these wars ending in most cases in British victories, it leaves the majority of readers with the impression that the development of the Empire was a forgone conclusion, and that all the action in India had taken place during these major campaigns.
This concentration on the 19th Century in India masks a far more fascinating stories. These come from the far less well known campaigns fought and often lost across the Deccan and Southern India during the 18th Century.
In the last couple of years with the huge increase in the availability of digital copies of original accounts thanks to the huge effort that Google has made to scan in these otherwise inaccessible books, it is becoming possible to piece together the fascinating and other otherwise virtually unknown stories of some of these campaigns.
In many of these accounts there are absolutely fascinating stories about minor or subsidiary campaigns fought in support of the major campaigns. With all of the campaigns run on a shoe string, by under resourced forces, these "second or third fronts" were often undertaken by a mere handful of European's and locally recruited Sepoys, who were taking on substantial Indian states like Mysore, with large armies that were often technically at least as well equipped as the East India Company was itself.
The following is the story of Captain Carpenter's campaign fought in 1783 between the modern towns of Karwar and Honavar on the west coast of India.
Figure 2. Google Earth Image showing the general location of Rajahmundroog and the operations undertaken by Captn. Carpenter's Detachment. Please click on this image for a larger version.
In order to try to divert pressure away from the East India Company's settlements and forces on the Coromandel Coast, which were under sustained attack by Hyder Ali and Tipu, it had been decided to send a force from Bombay to land in Karnaka at Rajahmundroog, called today Kagal Kote, north of the town of Honavar.
Hyder Ali had died in December 1782, but Tippoo Sahib as he was then known by the British had already shown that he was a formidable opponent in his attack on Ponnani.
The purpose of the expedition was set out in the following orders sent to Captain Carpenter by General Mathews.
" To Captain Carpenter.
" Sir,—It is necessary that an active, although small party, should remain in the field, and I have thought of you to command it. You will therefore proceed to Chundoor or Comptah, and collect your partizan force. It will at first consist of two iron three-pounders, drawn by bullocks, and the ammunition carried by men. And whatever men of the European artillery and lascars as can be drawn from Rajahmundroog and Onore, and as many sepoys as can be spared from each place, that is, from the immediate service and security of both garrisons. If you get 15 Europeans, and 150 sepoys, it will be reckoned a small army. The object is to protect the country from plunder and conflagration, and by seizing with spirit and judgment every opportunity of attacking the enemy, you may drive them from the frontiers of this district. It will be a fortunate circumstance if you can approach either the fort of Bilghie or Gurripah pass, as it may serve to keep the enemy at a distance, and alarm them for fear that you should really ascend the hills. The garrison of Mirjee also deserves your attention, and you should endeavour to keep them on the north side of the river. Being lightly equipped, and without tents or baggage, your movements may be as rapid as your sense may render them judicious. In short, all the country between the rivers of Mirjee and Onore, are under your protection ; and Capt. Torriano, who commands the garrison of Onore, has orders to supply you with every thing you may want, and to send all recovered officers and men, whether European or Native, to join you. You will strictly observe to keep this one material point constantly in view, which is, the safety of Onore, on account of our stores, provisions, and many etceteras: Capt. Torriano has orders to detain no more sepoys than the necessary guards. When we begin to act to the southward, the enemy may draw off part of their force ; then will be your time to make an impression, and I have hopes of hearing that the fort of Bilghie will, in a fortnight or three weeks, be in your possession. Capt. Torriano will send 2 three-pounders, and 2 artillery-men, with a few Europeans and what sepoys can be spared. You will keep up a constant correspondence with Capt. Torriano, who will occasionally acquaint me of your motions. Your command will be separate from his, unless he finds it necessary to call your party into Onore, for its apparent security, in which case only, you are to act under his orders. I wish you health and success.
(Signed) "r.mathews.
" Onore, 12th Jan. 1783."
It is very hard to understand how it was thought that a force of 15 European's and 150 Sepoys were going to be able to successfully take on the inhabitants of a substantial province well equipped, defended by large and well built forts.
This small force seems to have been intended act in a similar way to the Chindit columns sent into Burma in 1944, operating behind any force from Mysore sent to attack the larger landings at Onore or Mangalore.
One of the best accounts of the expedition comes from David Price's account which was published in 1834.
David Price was a young Ensign who had only landed in India during the previous year. He had however already taken part in the sieges of Negapatam and Trincomalee.
"On the eve of embarkation on a service of such perilous importance, I shall endeavour to bring to mind the nature and amount of that force which was thus about to be employed. There must have been a considerable detachment of artillery, although I have no recollection of the number, under the command of Capts. Toriano and Jackson, with, I think, Lieuts. Jacob Thompson and West; a corps of European infantry, of about four hundred strong, under- Col. Jackson; the basis of two grenadier batts. under Capts. Lampard and Dunn; and the first batt. of sepoys, under Capt. Edward Nugent. To these must be added sundry details, destined to join' the several native batts. already on the coast. There were, moreover, proceeding to the same destination from Surat and Broach, the third, fifth, and fifteenth batts. under Capts. Richardson, Eames, and Maccullock; which would add to the force already mentioned, probably two thousand rank and file; with some very valuable and experienced officers ; and altogether making a total of about three thousand eight hundred rank and file, of every description. The merit of Lieut. Oakes was already so highly appreciated, that he had allotted to him the command of a separate and independent corps. But with the exception of Lieut. now Gen. Blachford, I have not been able to bring to my recollection the names of any other officers of engineers, who accompanied the expedition.
Of the precise date of our departure from Bombay on this occasion, I have preserved no memorandum; but as far as I am now able to judge, it must have been early in the month of December, 1782—just fifty-two years ago, calculating to the year 1834. There was not among the whole of us, I sincerely believe, a single individual who did not entertain the brightest hopes of success ; and our short voyage of three or four days, for it required no more to bring us to the scene of action, passed in cheerful and unalloyed enjoyment. Ensigns Morris, Lonsdale, and myself, with the detail for the second batt. were embarked on board of a Surat battela, a quarter-deck vessel, peculiar to the north west of India ; which may accommodate from an hundred to one hundred and fifty men."[1]
Captain Carpenter's force was part of a larger force that was going to make landings at Honavar or Onore as it was known at the time. The force was carried down the coast by the ships of the Bombay Marine commanded by Commodore Emptage in his 28 gun flag ship Bombay.[2]
The area where the landings were made are surprisingly unchanged since these events took place in 1783, and it is quite easy to follow the course of the actual events on the ground, on maps and in Google Earth.
The landings were initially going to be made at the mouth of the Mergee or Aghanashini River at the Tadri Creek on the north bank near the modern town of Gokarna, with the intention that the force should attack and destroy a ship building yard at Tadri,where allies of Tipu were building a 50 gun ship, with the potential to out gun most East India Company vessels.
However at the last minute the force went for Rajahmundroog on the south bank. There are several potential landing beaches shown on Figure 3 below. It seems that Price's boat went straight for the smallest beach directly under the walls of the fort, whilst others landed on the slightly larger beach at 3.
"On our arrival at a short distance to the northward of the river Merjee, a small sandy bight or cove was pointed out to us, as the spot on which we were likely to land. This would have brought us immediately on the rear of Tudry, where there was on the stocks, what was called a fifty-gun ship. It was, at all events, a vessel of considerable burden, at a subsequent period, burnt by my friend Ross. We had however, scarcely time to deliberate, when we were hailed to make for the beach, south of the river, just under the straggling fort of Rajamundroog. "We accordingly made for the shore, and ran the battela [3] aground. For some minutes we were rather unpleasantly exposed to the guns of the fort—and several shot passed over us. A party of our troops was approaching at the same time from the land side, to attack the gateway, which looked to the east: and we hastened also in the direction of the gateway, from whence a pretty sharp firing of musketry was kept up on the party under Lieut. Stewart, the major of brigade. The gateway was flanked by two towers with guns; and we were close at hand, when we saw Mr. Stewart lifted up by the sepoys into one of the embrasures ; on which the gateway was immediately thrown open to admit of our entrance.

"The garrison, whatever they were composed of, had entirely disappeared, with the exception of one man, a Carnatic matchlock man; who suddenly arose from among the long grass, with a wisp of hay in his mouth, and threw himself at our feet. I cannot but remember this man, who was one of the tallest and stoutest natives I ever saw; and I often met him afterwards, as he became enrolled among our ordnance lascars. The fort contained about twenty iron guns of different calibres."[4]

"The troops were now disembarking in various directions, particularly from the river, which enters the sea immediately below the hill on which the fort is erected; and was of sufficient depth to admit the anchoring of the old Bombay Grab, a ship of twenty guns. They were encamped across the ridge of the hill to the eastward of the fort, looking directly towards Merjee; which, in a declining sun, appeared rather formidable, with its double line of walls and towers, fausse-bray, and ditch. One of the grenadier batts. was detached under Capt. Lampard to occupy the post at Compta, a little hill fort on the beach, about five miles to the southward. A few days afterwards we were joined by the troops from Malabar: consisting of the forty-second, and hundredth, King's regiments, under Cols. Mc'Leod, and Humberstone: the second, eighth, and eleventh batts. of sepoys; with a proportion of artillery, under Capt. Hislop, a very promising officer of that corps, in the King's service. He was killed not long afterwards in the attack of Hyder gauht, on the march to Bednour. Adding these to the troops already assembled, under Gen. Matthews, I may, I think, venture to state, that the whole amount of force employed on this occasion, in the invasion of Kanara, did not exceed, at the utmost, 5,800 men; of whom scarcely 1,200 were European soldiers."[5]
It is possible to locate quite closely the probable site of the camp to the east of the fort, and from there it is clear that Merjee or Mirjan Fort must have appeared very formidable as it showed up in the setting sun, which would have been behind David Price's shoulders. With that red stone set into the green hill it must have been very impressive.
It must also have been frightening to think that you might have to try to climb up its walls in a few days time.

As the following photo clearly shows the fort at Mirjan was a very formidable one, and it was going to require a very substantial attack if it was going to be taken.

If you live near these forts or have pictures that you have taken of either Rajahmundroog or Mijan Fort, I would love to have a copy of those photos.
If you are able to point me in the direction of other accounts of these actions, I would also love to hear from you, especially if they come from the Indian point of view. From similar projects in Kerala I am aware that there are a surprising large number of oral stories preserved within the communities affected by these events, and they can be extremely accurate.
If you have one of these please contact me.

For larger versions of this photo or any of the others,
The photographs in this blog were taken by, or collected by Captain Charles James Barton who was stationed at Karachi from about 1865 until 1867 with A Battery 18th Brigade, Royal Artillery.
Charles Barton commanded this unit from 1862 to 1867. During this period it had previously been stationed at Belgaum and Hyderabad in Scinde. It was the first breech loading artillery to be deployed to India equipped with Armstrong Guns.

She's Star-Crossed: Flyboy Bachelor - Episode Three
Posted by Ashley B at 8:02 PM
ROTFL at your Jakey Jakey eggs and bakey knick name...lol..
I'll come back and reply more later...just know that I am NOT pregnant and I agree! so it can't just be hormones :)
10:48 PM, January 18, 2010
I've been waiting for your take on tonights episode. I agree with Ali. I was disappointed that she felt the need to get into the middle of the Vienna drama.
I too don't see what the big deal was with vienna. I thought her and Jake had a great date. I saw chemistry. I thought ut was a bit much for all the girls to attack her on the group date. That would har turned me off too.
Oh and the best decisions were getting ready of creepy Michelle and the nanny. Both were crazy manipulators that needed a reality check!
Ugh. I can.not handle this season. I feel on edge the WHOLE time. The girls are TRYING WAY too hard. Maybe it's cause they are women and on Jill's turn...they were guys and expect for a few, they were nice and fun.
I agree with Vienna saga. I think it's how they edit it. They NEVER showed us the parts DURING the drama. JUST the group attacking her. They got mad that she came home and told them about her date? Really!? Like no one else has done that?
Ali...please. She drove me nuts. Elizabeth...I wanted to punch her. She is SUCH a tease. Michelle...ugh. So glad she is gone. I can't wait to see next week's to see the TWO that DO NOT get roses. WAY TO GO JAKE! Don't keep them around if ya don't want them!!
8:44 AM, January 19, 2010
Jake doesn't get to have fun yet. Hope he gets them pared down to what he can handle and enjoy the journey more! I liked his date with Vienna and felt like they had a connection but the other girls may have poisoned him or she might be so hurt that it affects her ability to be herself. Too bad but Tenley and Gia might have something to offer although that remains to be seen. Corey was wicked in her cheap shot at Vienna in the comedy routine so I lost respect. Jessi hasn't had much development as a character yet. I really didn't know that tall brunette he threw off with Elizabeth but she didn't stand out either. I hope something new happens soon. Drama is tiring. I like it in CSI but not so much on Bachelor!
9:53 AM, January 19, 2010
I do not even know if I can watch (or bare) it any more!!! No one is nice or wins my heart... but love reading your blog! :)
3:46 PM, January 19, 2010
I said I'd come back...but i really have nothing new to add....you pretty much summed it up as did your other commenters :)
I still like watching though...I also can't tear my eyes away from train wrecks. lol.

Last steps: iteration06
Last steps we are taking: time is running out...
We are on the good track, it gets better and better, but still some remarks.
Lukas is actually starting to enjoy our loopschip, so that's a good thing.
By turning the wheel under the frame, it fits into the lift
Lucas still likes the toys!
We could really test the chest-support with the foam-parts. This is already quit good, after adjusting the width, he fitted in, almost nicely.
We managed to get the people at Zonnebloem and the parents on the same track about the back-piece! Just some large straps and some extra peaces of foam will do!
We still need to cover the sharp pieces.
The back-part should be stronger, (but also see unexp-pos!)
new development: Lucas is not allowed to stand anymore (by the medical doctors in Leuven) because of his hips. The seat should be made high enough so he doesn't stand to much on his legs.
It's still difficult to put him in correctly, the upper parts of his chest go in smoothly, but the lower parts and his legs, won't! We need an extra peace to make him sit more to the front (ev. A change of the form of the seat-cushion) the extra piece will be a T-shaped legs-strap.

prototyping parents: iteration05
The first encounter between the parents and the new loopschip.
General conclusion: "We need more time to do this!!!"
They like the yellow wheel
They are generally happy with the looks
Lucas likes the toys on the table! He's happy when we show him how to do it, and he tries himself, he learns fast!
The whole is not to big, to fit into the house. There's no need to shorten the frame.
The cushions were not finished yet, so it was difficult to really test the position and the seats.
He needs a cushion to sit on.
We need straps to strap him in!The chest-part was to high for his arms to fit in comfortably.
The chest-part was to high for his arms to fit in comfortably.
Also his legs didn't fit good. He needs more space between
All sharp edges need to be covered,...
The parents didn't like the abduction seat. They think it's unnecessary and he cannot walk this way!
The father remarked that he would like the looks to resemble his wheelchair, to fit in the image! For example with red skai upholstering,...
The parts are to large to fit inside his car-top-box.

first encounter: iteration 04
The first encounter between the prototype and the zonnebloem.
1st remarks: everyone likes the yellow wheel! The shape and the looks are cool, but what about the therapeutic aspects?
They are generally enthusiastic about the looks
There need to be extra wheels, because of stability
the table should be more rigid
we need a back support, preferably a rigid one
the seat should be stronger! It broke during the test. It should be strong enough to prevent his legs to turn under him (see pics) because this is not good for his hips.
all sharp edges should be covered
The old chest-part isn't wide enough anymore, we need to widen it!
The seat should be more inclined at the sides, because he can only stand in, with his legs in abduction. (see pics)
Things to do for the next iteration:
Make a new chest part (wider!)
Make a stronger seat
make a back-piece

Making plans: Iteration 03
After the talk with Lukas parents, we had to change our strategy a little. The therapists and the people at zonnebloem didn't know the situation and the demands from the parents that well. So after the talk with the parents, we started over and made up a new strategy.
We realised that the identity aspect is not that important for the parents. It's not the looks of the tool that is the real problem. The real problem is that there is just nothing on the regular market that combines the playfulness of Lukas old loopschip, with the theraputic standards of the tools used at the zonnebloem. All standing-aids are meant for standing, not for playing in. That's why we have to focus on the pleasure aspect from now on. For Lukas, this new loopschip should be fun.
We also have to focus on the convenience-aspect for the parents. It shouldn't be to big, fit in the car, easy to clean,... Convenience is more important than identity!
We also managed to make up a plan for the new Loopschip. The problem will be that the structure in which Lucas has to fit, is so big that it will be virtually impossible (regarding our limited time and resources) to make more than 1 prototype. The first shot will be the right one!

Fun Benchmark
By visiting Lukas at home we saw the old 'Loopschip' in action.
The assignment is divided into 2 main aspects : the fun and the therapeutic aspect. At home the fun aspect is very important, but in 'de Zonnebloem' it's the the therapeutic aspect that is the most important. It's up to us to find the right balance.
The 'loopschip' is a DIY hack of an existing baby 'toy'. The Evenflo 'Exersaucer'.
The things Lukas likes the most about it are: the spring system, the rotation, the sounds the toys make.

Magnitude and consequences of volatile release from the Siberian Traps — Arizona State University
Magnitude and consequences of volatile release from the Siberian Traps
Benjamin A. Black, Linda T. Elkins-Tanton, Michael C. Rowe, Ingrid Ukstins Peate
The eruption of the Siberian Traps flood basalts has been invoked as a trigger for the catastrophic end-Permian mass extinction. Quantitative constraints on volatile degassing are critical to understanding the environmental consequences of volcanism. We measured sulfur, chlorine, and fluorine in melt inclusions from the Siberian Traps and found that concentrations of these volatiles in some magmas were anomalously high compared to other continental flood basalts. For the ten samples for which we present data, volatile concentrations in individual melt inclusions range from less than the detection limit to 0.51. wt.% S, 0.94. wt.% Cl, and 1.95. wt.% F. Degassing from the Siberian Traps released approximately ~6300-7800. Gt S, ~3400-8700. Gt Cl, and ~7100-13,600. Gt F. These large volatile loads, if injected into the stratosphere, may have contributed to a drastic deterioration in global environmental conditions during the end-Permian.

From Scraps of Bass, Ceviche Is Born - The New York Times
Food|From Scraps of Bass, Ceviche Is Born
https://nyti.ms/1oq4Jt3
By C. J. CHIVERSAUG. 11, 2014
Mick Chivers’s striped bass ceviche is made from scraps shaved from the fish.
Andrew Sullivan for The New York Times SOUTH KINGSTOWN, R.I. — My son Mick looked up from the big striped bass he had laid across the tailgate of our pickup. He had caught the fish the night before from rough water near Block Island in Rhode Island. Pulled from the ice in the morning, it measured 46 inches. But now he was dissatisfied.“I messed up,” he said, and set aside the bloody knife.The problem (if this counts as a problem) was immediately clear. Mick, who is 12, had removed a fillet from one side of the fish. But as he lifted the long slab clear, he could see he had not run the knife’s fine blade quite as tight to the fish’s spine as he should have, and had left behind a strip of meat by the fish’s tail.Our family grows, raises or catches a sizable fraction of its own food. With a plot on a brother-in-law’s farm, a sprawling garden behind our house and two root cellars, we have vegetables, especially root crops, almost beyond counting.Brooders, a coop and an old-fashioned turkey sun porch (supplemented by birds we release for a season of ranging on the farm) give us a supply of fresh eggs and meat from poultry that has lived in the weather and under the sun. Continue reading the main story
My older sons, Mick and Jack, who is 14, and I run a fishing boat, largely at night, that keeps us and many of our neighbors fed from the middle of spring until deep into the fall.
We are not ideologues. But we believe that local food tastes better, and that having worked for it in tangible and physical ways is more satisfying than eating much of what is stocked in stores.And so for Mick, the waste of even a strip of meat was grounds for disappointment. He curled his face into a minor scowl, a boy salty beyond his years. I stood with him, feigning similar disappointment.Then his inner light bulb flashed. “I know what I’ll do,” he said.In three days the rest of us would benefit from that errant pass of a knife.Very quickly Mick was leaning back over the fish, intently cutting away not just the meat near the tail but seemingly shaving the entire side of the fish frame and making a pile of scraps. He flipped the bass over, removed the second fillet and continued with the detail work, assembling perhaps three-quarters of a pound of small white strips.These we carefully scrubbed in a mix of ice water and kosher salt, and then tucked them into the back of the refrigerator. With striped bass costing about $30 a pound in markets, that little sack was the coastal equivalent of scraps of gold gathered off a jeweler’s bench.Two nights later we were back near the island: Mick, Jack and me. We were drifting the ebb tide over the same rocks. Two more fish of the same length came aboard. By the next morning Mick had turned fish shaving into a routine. After slicing away the fillets and cutting the shoulders into steaks, he delicately removed another pound or so of small strips. When he added it to the scraps from the previous bass, he had quite a pile.He announced his plan: “Bass-scrap ceviche,” he said, giving his dish a name.On good days around here, we hew to the axiom that the skills that come with a determined resistance to modern distractions and an insistence on ancient chores can make a happiness you will not find in the modern world or online. Growing and gathering our food also provides me with a healthy respite from my job covering conflicts and weapons for The New York Times, and puts me in settings where the tinnitus and war-related thoughts can seem to subside.
Mick Chivers, the author’s 12-year-old son, with a striped bass he caught.
C.J. Chivers The tasks and habits can take many forms: tending to animals day upon day, cleaning fish, dressing poultry and butchering meat; studying weather and tides (in the service of knowing where and when to fish, harvest or plant); cutting and splitting the wood that heats the home.
And then there is Mick, who likes to pickle and to cook. His latest concoction, a chilled testament to simplicity, fell somewhere in between.For a few minutes, Mick disappeared out back.It was last month, and the yard was rich. First he slipped into a shack where some of the recently pulled garlic was drying on wire racks. Then he stopped by a bed and snatched a few hot cherry peppers.
Soon he was at the cutting board and sink with his pile of striped bass scraps and a few Walla Walla and Red Zeppelin onions that he and Jack had planted and grown.He quickly squeezed about a cup and a half of lemon juice and whisked in two tablespoons of olive oil. Then he sliced a half-cup of small, tangy rings from the garlic stems and chopped a few onions and hot peppers, which, for reasons we cannot explain, tended more to sweet than heat.Everything went into a bowl: bass scraps, garlic greens, onions, his lemon-juice-and-oil cocktail, all topped with a quick hail of sea salt. He turned it all over a few times with a wooden spoon.This is where I’d like to say that we let it soak for a few hours. We didn’t. The day was warm, the fish was cold and we were hungry. After 30 minutes or so we broke out the forks and the bowl, and sat down to a midsummer’s lunch.I’d like to say we didn’t drink the juice afterward. But we did.Mick made note of what came from the grocer: salt, olive oil and lemons.The rest had come by his own hand, from skills and ideas that he and his siblings are honing, year after year, in the service of eating well while knowing more of their food than these times usually allow.Mick had made ceviche before, using the almost translucent meat from summer flounder from Block Island or Nebraska Shoal, or the bright white fillets of black sea bass from the submerged boulder fields where we often find striped bass.
The bass scraps, in their way, were better. The varied cuts from the fish, including the belly straps, gave this ceviche a range of textures: from fine, like that from flounder, to a firmer, richer and chewier meat that came from high on the shoulder or mid-fish, by the ribs.
From a slip of the knife, a new family habit was born. And the eating, as it is day after day in summer, when we are living as we were meant to, was fine.Recipe: Bass Ceviche

Preview | Box Score | Recap BOSTON (AP)—The Boston Red Sox rallied for another big finish.
Todd Walker’s RBI double in the eighth inning sent the Red Sox to a 6-5 win over the Kansas City Royals on Thursday night and a three-game sweep. Boston’s last two victories and seven of its 19 this season have come in its final at-bat.
Kansas City 2 Boston 7 Tue, Apr 29 - Final Kansas City 4 Boston 5 Wed, Apr 30 - Final Kansas City 5 Boston 6 Thu, May 1 - Final “It seems like we can go out and get no-hit for seven innings and then put up five or six runs,” said Brandon Lyon, who pitched a perfect ninth for his second save. “You feel you’re never out of a game.”
The Royals have dropped four straight and five of six after opening the season with 17 wins in 21 games. Still, their 17-8 record matches their best start set in 1989.
“I will not give up on any of those guys,” Kansas City manager Tony Pena said. “They have been doing so well and right now they’re just going through a real tough time.”
The Royals blew a lead in all three games against Boston. Home runs by Mike Sweeney, Carlos Beltran and Raul Ibanez helped build a 5-3 advantage Thursday, but the Red Sox scored in the sixth, seventh and eighth.
“We find ways to win,” Boston’s Jason Varitek said. “We’ve won games, but we’re not all the way there yet.”
Boston’s 19-9 record is the fourth-best in baseball, behind the New York Yankees, Kansas City and San Francisco.
Trot Nixon hit his second homer of the year for the Red Sox, who won their fourth consecutive game. Boston improved to 10-1 at home after losing its Fenway Park opener.
Jason Shiell (1-0) pitched a scoreless eighth for his first major league win in seven appearances.
Steve Woodard was just as valuable, coming in when starter Casey Fossum was ejected in the first and allowing two singles in 4 1-3 innings before giving up three runs in the sixth.
“I was just trying to keep us in the ballgame,” Woodard said. “You never know what’s going to happen with this team late in the game.”
Jeremy Giambi began the bottom of the eighth by drawing a walk from Jason Grimsley (1-2). Pinch-runner Damian Jackson stole second and went to third on pinch-hitter Varitek’s sacrifice bunt.
Johnny Damon grounded to first baseman Sweeney, who threw home to start a rundown in which Jackson was tagged out as Damon went to second.
Walker, who tripled in a run in the first, then lined a double to left that scored Damon.
“I had no idea what he (Grimsley) throws,” Walker said. “I just decided to go with that slider away and that’s what he threw.”
The Red Sox won 5-4 Wednesday with the help of three hit batsmen in the ninth, and plate umpire Larry Poncino warned both teams.
On Thursday, there were three ejections by plate umpire Phil Cuzzi.
Fossum and Boston manager Grady Little were thrown out when the first pitch after Sweeney’s two-run homer went behind Ibanez.
“I overthrew the ball,” said Fossum, who denied throwing deliberately behind the batter. “I was just frustrated. I had just given up a homer.”
But Pena was sure Fossum aimed behind Ibanez.
Kansas City catcher Mike DiFelice was ejected in the eighth when he said something to Cuzzi after Pena went to the mound to talk with Grimsley.
“Our strike zone wasn’t as consistent as” the one for Boston pitchers, DiFelice said. “I just didn’t think it was fair.”
The Royals took a 2-0 lead in the first on Sweeney’s sixth homer after Beltran singled. The Red Sox tied it in the first when Damon reached on Sweeney’s error and scored on Walker’s triple. Manny Ramirez’s sacrifice fly drove in Walker.
Boston made it 3-2 in the third against Kyle Snyder, making his major league debut, when Damon singled, stole second and scored on Nomar Garciaparra’s sacrifice fly.
Joe Randa led off the sixth with a single and Beltran hit his third homer, putting Kansas City ahead 4-3. Ibanez’s fifth homer made it 5-3, and Woodard was replaced by Mike Timlin.
Nixon homered in the sixth, and Boston tied it in the seventh when Garciaparra singled, advanced to third on Ramirez’s single and scored on DavidOrtiz’s double-play grounder.
Woodard had his longest outing of the season after pitching 11 2-3 innings in his other five appearances. … The Royals’ homers came one day after the end of their streak of nine games with at least one. … Snyderallowed one earned run in five innings. | [

Rotary Club of Chandigarh: 2013
Deputy High Commissioner joins Rotarians for Christmas celebrations
British Deputy High Commissioner in Chandigarh David Lelliott and his wife Lizeth celebrated Christmas with nearly 70 children from Bapu Dham Colony and Dhanas, at Rotary House here today.
Lelliott with her two children reached the Rotary House at 11am sharp and thoroughly enjoyed, distributed goodies and Christmas cake, and danced with them to the beat of dhol.
Our Santa Claus, Pres. Hassan S. Mejie, was in full joy and mood to make this Xmas a very special day for over 70 children from Rotary Balwari in Dhanas and Bal Bahar School in Bapu Dham Colony Sector 26.
He had organised Kachi Ghorri folk dancers and puppeteers from Jaipur to regale the little kids, and for many a Rotarians and their families it was a great experience and exciting moment to recall her childhood days when she had last seen the puppet show.
To complete the fun every child had a camel ride, while the melodious choir from choir from Chandigarh Bible Fellowship sang the carols on the occasion.
David Lelliott joined the fun and eagerly distributed refreshment to little children, and later both, David and Lizeth handed over Xmas gifts to children.
Thanks to all Rotarians and Rotaractors who made the Xmas celebrations a great success.
From Silence to Sound... Slideshow for You!
Just in case you are not able to see this video, please click here.
Imagine a child born without a basic faculty of hearing...something that we take for granted. Imagine a world where the dance party, loud music, sounds of traffic or chirping of the birds do not evince any interest. Imagine a world where the shouts, cries and laughters are mere visual gesticulations with no emotional chord for someone without the ability to hear them.
I happened to visit such a school for deaf and mute in our city, and it was the recess time. There were hundreds of children who were quitely running around, some just sitting on a bench and stairing at the moving figures, others quitely standing along a pole, while a few sat under a tree... trying to talk to each other in sign language.
Their condition moved the Rotarians of Rotary Club of Chandigarh to start a project last year with the support of The Rotary Foundation under its matching grant with Rotary Club of Charlotte, USA, as partner, to not only provide cochlear implant where possible but also extensively examine the children in schools to detect hearing loss and provide hearing aids to them.
President Hassan Singh Mejie and Secretary Desh Deepak Khanna along with another member of the club who is a trained audiologist and speech therapist, Rtn. Ritu Chaudhary, came across Patiala School for Deaf, and found that many of the children with hearing impairment had been abandoned by their parents.
Most heart rending part is that during vacations there are many children who have nowhere to go and they stay put in the school's hostel, informed Col. Karminder Singh, Director of Patiala School for the Deaf, and if some of these children can be treated to overcome this physical disability, they would be able to enter the society's mainstream, he added.
The team of Rotarians visited earlier to the school and Rtn. Ritu Chaudhary identified 24 such children who had moderate to severe hearing loss and could possibly hear the sound with the help of hearing aides.
On Tuesday, 17th December, the team drove 80kms through the early morning fog to the school, re-examined them and fitted them appropriate hearing aides.
Though the children would start hearing the sound but would require the support and coaching by a trained audiologist to help them understand various sounds and learn to decipher them and use their vocal chords too, because the deaf students are also mute and can learn to speak only after they hear various sounds, informed Rtn Ritu Chaudhary.
The children after receiving their hearing aids were ecastic and jumped with excitement on hearing the world around them, and once they get to develop their speaking abilities and understand language, they would be able to enjoy their life more fully, Rtn Desh Deepak Khanna said.
According to an estimate, over 24 million children suffer from this debilitating disability and nearly 1 lakh babies are born every year with profound hearing loss. This project would change lives of many such children who have partial hearing loss, he added.
We spent 90-minutes of our drive back home almost silently; perhaps each one of us was quitely expressing our gratitude to the Almighty for giving us the opportunity to change these little lives, Pres. Hassan S. Mejie said.
Bhavan Vidyalaya gifts a School to flood-ravaged Uttrakhand
The students and staff of Bhavan Vidyalaya of Chandigarh have embarked on an ambitious plan of building a school in the flood-struck Uttrakhand.
On an appeal that the Chairman of Bhavan Vidyalaya, Mr. R.K. Saboo made last month, the children and staff responded enthusiastically and have worked in unison to collect Rs.10 lakh within a week, informed Ms Vineeta Arora, Principal of Bhavan Vidyalaya, Sector 27, Chandigarh.
Both the junior and the senior sections of the school collected the amount by reaching out to their parents and community to ensure that children in many villages who have been deprived of their school would be able to return to resume their studies, she said.
A cheque of Rs.10 lakh was presented by the students, staff and Principals of both schools namely Ms Vineeta Arora of the seniors branch and Ms Taruna Vashisht of the junior school, to the Rotary Club of Chandigarh, to make this project possible.
The senior school collected Rs.6.47 lakh and the junior wing in Sector 33 collected Rs. 3.53 lakh for the project.
So much was the involvement of the children that they designed the entire campaign and several entries were received for the brochure too out of which the one designed by Charvi Kaul of 7th class got selected which was printed and sent out.
The Rotarians in the country have committed to build and /or undertake major repair of all the schools upto Primary level numbering 175 schools in the districts of Rudraprayag and Uttarkashi, the most ravaged region of Uttarakhand due to the disastrous floods of September 2013. In addition, desks and benches for 67,000 children will aiso be provided by Rotary. Nation-wide efforts are afoot to ensure that the children in this area are empowered to become better citizens, former world president of Rotary International Rajendra K. Saboo informed.
Each school in the village built by Rotary will have proper classrooms, toilets and drinking water facilities and shall be managed by the managing committee. .

Economic Challenges Facing India
When a renowned management guru and an economist speaks everyone listens. The same was true of our Club too, which saw a record attendance at the 9 September meeting in which we had Dr S.P.S. Pruthi as the guest speaker.
The current economic crisis, said Dr Pruthi, was triggered by the announcement by USA to tone-down the Quantitative Easing it had triggered to tackle the 2007 sub-prime economic crisis. More than 12 trillion dollars were pumped-in by USA as part of the quantitative easing and that kept everyone going since then.
But, was the announcement of QE tone-down the sole cause of the rupee tumbling and the beginning of India’s economic problems. Certainly not, said Dr Pruthi. We wasted the first 40 years after our independence doing nothing for the economy. he said. Since 1991 we did usher-in reforms and that helped to turn the tide. But, these reforms have been half-hearted. Political and bureaucratic controls have not been withdrawn the way they should have been.
To meet the economic crisis head-on, we need to ensure growth. For that we require structural changes, foreign money, infrastructure development and, above all, we need to improve the faith of others in us. The comfort level for investors also needs to be improved manifold.
Reserve Bank of India, he added has very limited options available to it. Besides, he added, it has no control over corruption, import & export and business environment.
Dr Pruthi also felt that in today’s globalized environment the authority of the State is limited, especially in economic matters. Markets have their own mechanisms and reasons to go up or down. They do not listen to any authority. Thus, we need to change our decision making patterns to be able to compete better in the international environment.
Dr Pruthi also emphasized on the need for a strong leadership that respects constitutional authorities. Besides, it is important that we ensure that money is invested in talent and technology development.
Pragmatic foreign policy is another very essential requirement to become economically strong. Dr Pruthi gave examples of USA and Japan post World War-II, as also USA and China in recent years who improved their relations for strategic reasons and thus gained economically. “Practical and intelligent policies only can help us become an economic power”, he said. “Soch (thought process) is important. Soch ko badlo,” he added.
Dr Pruthi’s talk was followed by a Q&A session. PP Arvind Mehan wondered why India has inconsistent and changing policies? Inconsistency is due to lack of will, said Dr Pruthi. Today, the need is to indigenise our Railways, Defence etc requirements to save on foreign exchange and improve balance of trade but nothing much is done on this end.
Rtn G.S. Chawla wondered if India can do without FDI. To this Dr Pruthi replied, “There is no need to restrict FDI. USA thrives because the whole world gives money to it. The need of the hour is to promote savings and restrict imports by indigenisation.”
Rtn Ashok Khanna asked “when can we hope to see stability again.” Dr Pruthi was of the opinion that eventually India is an ideal place for growth. It consumes a big percentage of what the world produces. “All we need to do is to take the right economic decisions and things will improve,” he said.
Dr Pruthi was jointly introduced by PP Man Mohan Singh Kohli and President Hassan Mejie. Rtn Mahesh Gupta presented him a memento. PDG Kawal Bedi presented him a bouquet. Rtn Dr Rajinder Kaur presented a bouquet to Mrs Vanita Pruthi. Vote of thanks was proposed by PRIP R.K. Saboo.

These countries were Polio free and the virus was imported to these countries. He also spoke on the Children for Children project, in which school children are motivated to collect funds for Polio.
Presentation on Hypno-therapy
On August 26, as part of the programme of our weekly meeting, Mr Sandeep Kumar gave a presentation on hypno-therapy and explained how this technique is being successfully used to treat alcohol and drug addiction. He claimed a very high success rate—93 per cent people recover in six sessions, he claimed. Hypno-therapy works on thought, emotion, energy and state of mind, he said, and helps in inculcating positive thinking for healthy living.
Railings Installed
Railings have been installed on the stairs outside, as well as those leading to the stage in the meeting hall, for the benefit of our senior members. This meets a long pending demand.

On August 26, we celebrated friendship day. PP Arvind Mehan, Rtn Reema Dewan and Rtn S.D. Sharda gave a very beautiful and thought provoking enunciation on friendship.
On the occasion we had among us some special guests: Dr B.N.S. Walia, Hon. Rotarian, friends of Rtn S.D. Sharda—Mr S.S. Bhatia, former CIT, and Mr B.D. Gupta, Settlement Officer—Col G.S. Suri and his wife Kuljit Suri, Arun & Archana Jain from USA, Gen Majithia and his wife Meenu and Pooja Guliani.
PDG Madhukar Malhotra initiated the programme “We are all Rotarians and friends of Rotary,” he said. He impressed upon the members to “enjoy their friendships through service. “Through service we strengthen our friendships,” he added.
PP Arvind Mehan said that friendship is the hardest thing in the world to explain. But, if you have not learned the meaning of friendship, you have not learned anything at all. While preparing his speech for the occasion, he said, he asked his wife Sadhana what friendship meant to her within their own marriage and how it stood apart from love and companionship? “A friend is the one who not only touches your heart, he touches your soul, was her answer”.
PP Arvind also felt that the only way to have a friend is to be one. “You can wait for years for people to start liking you enough to be friends or you can extend a hand of friendship and become one in an instant.”
“Basically, your friend is a person who knows all about you and still likes you. He neither leads nor follows you, but walks besides you,” he added.
Rtn Reema Dewan was of the view that friends bring an aura of positivity, and the best part is that “they are chosen, not inherited”. She added that “we need to be friends with our self first and only then we can be good friends to others.
Rtn S.D. Sharda compared friendship to that between stars and moon. “Chand aur sitaron kee dosti ek misal hai. Jab chand roashan hota hai, sitaron kee roshni dugni ho jaati hai”. He recited a couplet to elucidate his point: “Jalwe nahin hote, woh nazare nahin hote, jab chand ke pehloo main sitare nahin hote.”
The vote of thanks was proposed by PDG Kawal Bedi.
The evening ended with a fellowship dinner and members enjoying karaoke singing.

June 2013 Board Meeting Highlights
The 2012–13 RI Board of Directors held its fourth and final meeting on 17–21 June 2013 in Cascais, Portugal. The Board also held a brief meeting in April just before the Council on Legislation.
The Board increased RI extension into China by placing Guangdong Province into District 3450. The Board reorganized clubs in District 2980 (India) into new Districts 2981 and 2982, effective 1 July 2015.
Noting that the 2013 Council did not adopt legislation to allow flexibility in meeting frequency, which effectively ended the Meeting Frequency pilot project, the Board approved the establishment of a transition plan for those clubs in the pilot to return to the standard club model.
The Board adopted the 2013–14 RI budget, reflecting revenues of US$98,797,000, the use of $9,585,000 in general surplus funds, $301,000 in convention reserves, and $108,647,000 in expenses, resulting in an excess of revenues, general surplus funds, and convention reserve over expenditures of $36,000. As approved by the RI Bylaws and by a three-quarters vote of all directors, the Board also approved an additional $2 million in unallocated general surplus funds for operational and other strategic initiatives in 2013–14.
The Board approved a 2012–13 budget variance of US$3 million for program award expenditures from unrestricted contributions in the Annual Fund (WF) for 2012–13 matching grants, contingent upon approval by the Trustees. The Trustees approved this variance at their June meeting.
The Board designated conveners and meeting places for RI director nominating committees that will meet in September 2013 to select directors-nominee for election at the 2014 RI (Sydney) Convention. Directors will be selected from Zones 4, 6B, 10B, 13, 22, 26, 29, and 30.

The Board amended New Generations Service Exchange policy by increasing the eligible age of participants from 21 to 30, and by setting the minimum age to the age of majority in the host country, but not younger than 18.
The Board agreed to enter into a service partnership, as a two-year pilot initiative, with the Thunderbird School of Global Management, located in Glendale, Arizona, USA.
The Board recognized the Alzheimer's/Dementia Rotarian Action Group.

A Re-look at India’s Response to Foreign Military Aggression
If we can sleep at peace at night and go about our daily chores without any fear, it is because of our defence forces who stand guard at our country’s borders, and it was a privilege for the club to host an army officer of distinction, Maj Gen Charanjit Singh Panag (retd), on 19 August.
Maj Gen Panag gave a rundown on the aggression and skirmishes on Indian borders with our neighbours, and informed that these are pin-pricks which are a daily affair in the life of a soldier on the borders, which are blown out of proportion by the electronic media. However, he lamented the need for a more graduated response and a long-term plan with respect to various neighbouring countries.
The absence of strong foreign policy vis-à-vis our neighbours is the weakest point and it is high time that our country moves with a strategic plan, he said. He pointed out the need for a think tank for defending our borders, just like Pakistan’s army which calls the shot, and Central Military Council of China, whose members do not retire and offer strategic advice on policy matters.
His engaging presentation kept the audience glued to their seats and was followed by an interactive session with the members.
PP Charanjit Singh introduced Maj Gen Panag, R’Ann Sadhana Mehan presented a bouquet, and Rtn Dr Rajinder Kaur presented a memento to him. PP Arvind Mehan proposed the vote of thanks.

Developing Leaders - For now and for the future
Joyce R. Gaufin
On July 29 we had Joyce R. Gaufin as our guest speaker. She talked on the importance of nurturing leaders for tomorrow. Quoting a 1989 report she said, “today, the need for leadership is too important to leave its emergence to chance.” She added that the next generation is ready to be a leader now, at a very young age. “The challenge is that they have the right mentors and coaches.”
She also emphasized on the importance of relationships, which, she said, is most fundamental of all human needs. To become a good leader, you have to learn to reach out to those who do not think and feel the same way as you do. “Good relationships help build trust, a very important ingredient for effective leadership,” she said.
Good leaders nurture their passion. “Only a small group of thoughtful and passionate people can change the world,” she added.
Leaders must also have vision as a good vision takes us forward. She gave the example of Walt Disney who went bankrupt several times before his idea of Disneyland actually fructified.
Ms Gaufin also emphasized on developing critical thinking abilities and having an open mind.
Leaders also have to be tough. “Leadership is not for the timid,” she added. And, one needs to keep it in mind that leadership is a journey and not destination.
Ms Joyce R. Gaufin was introduced by PP Man Mohan Singh Kohli. Rtn Ranjit Powar presented her a memento. The vote of thanks was proposed by PE Prof Paramjit Singh.

Blood Donation Camp by Rotaract Club of Chandigarh
Rotaract Club of Chandigarh organised a blood donation and eye donation camp at Rotary Blood Resource Centre, Sector 37-A Chandigarh on 13 July . The camp was held as part of Rotaract Club’s 6-week internship programme—Rotaract 360. 51 volunteers from all age groups donated blood.
The presence of the Rotarians from our Club—President Hassan S. Mejie, PP Baldev Aggarwal, Rtn. Desh Deepak Khanna, Rtn. Mona Khattar, PE Prof. Paramjit Singh and Rtn. Surinder Paul Kaur—motivated the Rotaractors and the interns to donate blood for a noble cause.
Rtn. Mona Khattar was among the donors to encourage the first-time young girl donors.
Many of the young donors were refused due to low haemoglobin count. This is a disturbing trend and it was decided to organise a seminar for the youngsters, especially girls to enlighten them about healthy eating habits and importance of having a healthy body.
The noble provision of eye donation was facilitated in accordance with provisions of the Eye Bank, PGIMER, Chandigarh. All the volunteers' got themselves registered for eye donation after death.
Rtn Rajinder Jain was the winner of the Lucky Draw prize this week.
Teaming and Power Play
The 15 July meeting was a meeting with a difference. We had Dr Amandeep hold an activity based session on Teaming and Power play. The ball was set rolling with the “Marshmallow Tower Challenge”, a simple team-building exercise that forces the individuals to team-up quickly and collaborate and innovate to build the tallest free-standing structure out of 20 sticks of spaghetti, 36 inches each of tape and string, and one marshmallow. The marshmallow needs to be on top.
Members were divided in to eight teams of 7-8 members each. The task was to be accomplished in 15 minutes. There were no prizes for the winners. The idea was to show the importance of team work in achieving success, be it in a corporate world or in an organisation like our Rotary Club.
Walking around the tables, one could see the Rotarians challenged by the task. Many participants were found to be upset with tape not opening or the sticks getting broken or lack of coordination among the team members. Some just sat back and gave up, while others plodded on. “No project is blessed with perfect conditions, problems can arise unexpectedly. Such situations arise in all organisations and good team-work helps in dealing with them successfully,” said Dr Amandeep.
Building on the experiences from the activity, Dr Amandeep shared that organisational success comes from aligning individuals to perform well in teams, collaborate and contribute to the overall goals.
Talking on “power”, she said that it impacts organisations negatively, harms teams and can cause distress to individuals. Most individuals exercise position based power or formal power and their team members display compliance solely based on their leader’s role, position or title rather than the person specifically as a leader. Coercion and selective distribution of rewards are ways in which position based power can get abused. Real power is the expert power that comes from your knowledge and expertise. This power helps you become a real leader, irrespective of the fact that you hold a position or not. Then, there is the referent power, gained by a leader who has strong interpersonal relationship skills. It is of particular interest as leadership today is more about collaboration and influence rather than command and control.
Taking the talk further, Dr Amandeep discussed the various ways in which individuals translate power bases into specific actions. The best teams are those where the leaders use rational persuasion, inspirational appeals and consultation. Jostling for power leads to organisational politics, and should be avoided.
The game also taught us the importance of systems thinking. “Systems work the best when perfected at the design stage,” said Dr Amandeep.
All in all, it was an interesting and a very useful exercise that was thoroughly enjoyed by the participants. “It was a refreshing change,” said Rtn Dr Pushpinder Chahal.
Rtn Varun Rao welcomed Dr Amandeep with a bouquet. She was introduced by Rtn Vipin Dewan. PP Arvind Mehan presented her a memento. Rtn Jaiparkash Hasrajani proposed the vote of thanks.

UT government taking steps to improve Education in Chandigarh
Mr V.K. Singh, IAS, Finance Secretary UT Chandigarh was to be the guest speaker on July 8 but he could not return from Delhi due to flight cancellation. Instead, Mr Ajoy Sharma, IAS, very kindly consented to be the speaker and present steps being taken by the UT administration to improve schooling in government schools in Chandigarh.
According to Mr Ajoy Sharma, in last one year the Chandigarh Administration had taken a series of very innovative steps that have laid the foundation to providing good education. Ten new senior secondary schools are being added this year and another 10 will be added in two years time, he said. Besides, huge effort has gone into plugging the human resource shortage. In 2012, the Chandigarh Administration has added 800 new teachers and in the next six months another 1500 will be recruited. Efforts have been made that the newly recruited teachers come with the required training to make a qualitative change in education being provided in the city.
Mr Sharma also added that more and more school classrooms are being converted to Smart classrooms. The teachers are being encouraged to have a sense of ownership and do their work with renewed passion. The focus is not on making the class “smart”, he added, but to also transform the thought process of the teachers.
While sharing his own experience of studying in poorly equipped and staffed schools, followed by exposure to institutions like IIT and some leading foreign universities, he said that he was well aware of the gap the existed and he, along with his colleagues in the Administration, are working to bridge the gap.
Mr Sharma added that a dedicated team of 18-20 teachers has been constituted to hand-hold and transform the school and teaching environment. Overall personality development and extra-curricular skills are being given a lot of weightage. More sports facilities are being created and existing infrastructure is being revamped and upgraded. “In coming years, you will see a lot of improvement in government schools due to the steps being taken currently,” he said.
In the interactive session Rtn Krishan Kumar suggested to open the school grounds to children in evening. Mr Sharma assured him that steps are already being taken in this regard.
Rtn Ashok Khanna suggested that yoga be made part of the curriculum. In reply, Mr Sharma said while yoga is not yet part of curriculum, yoga teachers are being deployed and children are being encouraged to learn yoga.
Rtn Geetika Rao suggested that more efforts should be put in to imbibe social responsibility among school kids, to which Mr Sharma said that steps are already being taken in this regard.
President Hassan Mejie appraised the guest speaker about the projects being undertaken by our Club to help children from poor families get better education and training.
Mr Sharma was introduced by PP Man Mohan Singh Kohli. Rtn Reema Dewan proposed the vote of thanks. Rtn Surinder Paul Kaur presented a memento to the Chief Guest.

Installation of Team 2013-14
On July 1 every year the Rotary wheel completes full circle. This is the date on which Rotary leadership all over the world changes. It was no different at our Club. The Installation Ceremony on July 1 led to IPP Vivek Gupta handing over the baton to President Hassan Mejie. Prof Hardarshan Singh Mejie was the Chief Guest.
The entire programme was planned and executed by PP Man Mohan Singh Kohli. The function started by observing a one minute silence in remembrance of all the victims of flash flood in Uttarakahand. This was followed by a rendition of Rabindra Sangeet by Sh Subhash Ghosh. His singing of Rabindranath Tagore’s “Ekla Cholo Re” transported the audience to the cultural capital of India—Bengal.
IPP Vivek Gupta and Rtn Dr I.D. Shukla then gave a presentation on the activities and events held during their tenure. IPP Vivek proudly presented to the members the Best Club of the District trophy and many more awards won at the District Awards function held on 30 June. Among the major achievements were: contribution of $63,000 to The Rotary Foundation and the exemplary work done under various projects like Heartline and Gift of Vision.
President Hassan Mejie formally took over as the President as IPP Vivek Gupta passed on the collar to him. In his acceptance speech, President Mejie pledged to continue the good work done by his predecessors. He added that he has planned some strategic programmes and events that will involve the youth. “We will also work to enhance the image of Rotary among the general public, as also work towards doubling the contribution to The Rotary Foundation,” he said.
Among the signature programmes he listed the Rotary Big Wheel project to help expand the message of Rotary. Pamphlet dispensers for health education, and the Rotary Magic Fountain to commemorate the eradication of polio from India were other two new projects announced. Also in the pipeline is a mega tree plantation drive in the Sukhna lake catchment area that will not only be addressing the ecological issues but will also help in tackling the monkey menace.
President Mejie also pledged to improve facilities at the Rotary House, as also work to involve the families of the members. Among other major events planned are: food festival to raise funds; encourage citizens to create Endowment funds and leave a part of their estate as a corpus fund with Rotary Club Chandigarh Service Trust, to be used for a cause close to their heart; fund-raising Dinner to collect major funds for The Rotary Foundation.
Chief Guest, Prof Hardarshan Singh Mejie belongs to a family that was at forefront of the freedom struggle of India. He started his professional career a teacher in Guru Nanak Engineering College, Ludhiana. Later, he ventured out into business and left an inedible mark both in India and abroad. During his teaching and business life he was always very closely connected with the problems being faced by the society and worked earnestly to resolve them—whether it was collection of funds during Indo-China war or helping engineering student to go abroad in 1960s or helping migrants fleeing war zone in the middle-east. He hung his business boots in 2004 and after distributing most of his assets among his three sons, he transferred assets left with him to Mehar Baba Charitable Trust. Today, his mission and motivation is to serve rural youth and elderly living in over 200 villages of Fatehgarh Saheb.
Prof Mejie began his speech with a question that, he said, has been asked by people for years: “What would it take to change the world?” He then went on to answer it: “Members of the Rotary already knew the answer. They reached out across the world to help and change the world”. He added: “Today more than ever there is a requirement to rise above self and reach out across communities. As Vivekananda said, ‘You cannot help anyone, you can only serve’.”
He very humbly introduced himself as “Hassan’s father”. “It gives me immense pleasure to see my son take over the reins of a wonderful and prestigious Institution,” he said.
He announced a donation of Rs One lakh for the Uttarakhand Flood victims, for which we remain ever so thankful to him.
AG Ajit Singh Gulati read the message of DG Rakesh Aggarwal for the new team.
PDG Kanwal Bedi proposed the vote of thanks.

In a function organized in the hospital, Past Rotary International President Rajendra K. Saboo, who had initiated the project, complimented the management of Fortis for their fruitful partnership that helped save the lives of 300 children since 2006.
“Let no child suffering from any congenital cardiac disease, die for want of money,” was the commitment that the Rotary Club had made way back in 1999 when it initiated the project as ‘Gift of Life’ and later on renamed it as Rotary Heartline, informed Mr Saboo.
Rotary Club Chandigarh’s president Vivek Gupta informed that the Club had PGI as its initial partner hospital, and later in June 2006 the Fortis Hospital Mohali was also included as partner in order to have the infant patients operated..

Though the Rotary Club of Chandigarh has so far saved 457 lives since the start of the project in 1999 under leadership of the then club President PDG Rtn. Kawal Bedi, 300 surgeries were conducted in Fortis alone since 2006, added Rotary’s past district governor Madhukar Malhotra.
Thanking the Rotarians for giving Fortis the opportunity to be a part of the noble cause, Mr Aditya Vij, Chief Executive Officer, Fortis Hospital commended the team of Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgery led by Dr. T.S. Mahant and said that working with Rotary Club had been a great privilege since it was also in complete alignment with the corporate philosophy of Fortis which late Dr. Parvinder Singh, its founder chairman, proclaimed, “"To create a world-class integrated healthcare delivery system in India, entailing the finest medical skills combined with compassionate patient care."
Mr. Vij also announced that Fortis Hospital shall sponsor the free heart surgeries of three children to support the Rotary Club's efforts.
Past Rotary International President Rajendra K. Saboo and club president Vivek Gupta presented a commemorative plaque to Mr Aditya Vij and his team from Fortis as a mark of gratitude on the completion of 300th heart surgeries.

Data is shared between multiple enterprise data sources and mobile clients in a distributed system such that requests from a mobile client for enterprise data are received, the appropriate enterprise data sources that contain the requested data are determined, and the enterprise data is retrieved from the determined enterprise data sources. Data maintained at a mobile client is shared with multiple enterprise data sources. The mobile clients send requests to an application server for synchronization of data records maintained at the mobile client with corresponding data records at the enterprise data sources. The client request includes metadata that identifies enterprise data sources for the requested data records and that specifies a relational correspondence between the requested data. The mobile client data records and the corresponding data records of the enterprise data sources are compared to identify any data conflicts between the two sets of data records. Any identified data conflicts are resolved.
This application claims the benefit of priority of co-pending U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 60/442,810 entitled “Context Sensitive Data Update System and Method” filed Jan. 23, 2003; and U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 60/461,588 entitled “Context Sensitive Data and Software Update System and Method” filed Apr. 7, 2003. Priority of the filing dates are hereby claimed, and the disclosures of these Provisional Patent Applications are hereby incorporated by reference.
It is important for mobile users to have an efficient, reliable data update methodology on which they can rely. The data update process should not place a severe burden on the communications channels of the mobile devices, but must be capable of providing current data in a timely manner. Satisfying these requirements is complicated by the fact that mobile users can be limited by intermittent access to network data sources and typically use mobile devices with relatively modest computational power.
In accordance with the invention, data is utilized between multiple enterprise data sources and mobile clients in a distributed system such that requests from a mobile client for enterprise data are received, the appropriate enterprise data sources that contain the requested data are determined, and the enterprise data is retrieved from the determined enterprise data sources. Data maintained at a mobile client is shared with multiple enterprise data sources. The mobile clients send requests to an application server for synchronization of data records maintained at the mobile client with corresponding data records at the enterprise data sources. The client request includes metadata that identifies enterprise data sources for the requested data records and that specifies a relational correspondence between the requested data. The mobile client data records and the corresponding data records of the enterprise data sources are compared to identify any data conflicts between the two sets of data records. Any identified data conflicts are resolved.
The application server 106 communicates with enterprise data sources 108, such as CRM data sources, ERP sources, financial system resources, legacy data stores, and the like. The exemplary enterprise data sources illustrated in FIG. 1 include data including “Siebel” software from Siebel Systems, Inc. of San Mateo, Calif., USA; “Oracle” software from Oracle Corporation of Redwood Shores, Calif., USA; “SAP” software from SAP AG of Walidorf, Germany; and legacy software. The administrator application 110 and a developer application 112 communicate with the application server 106, which also stores metadata 114 for the system, as described further below.
A feature of the FIG. 1 system called “Dexterra Studio Developer” allows the programmer to perform changes to the mobile application. In the illustrated embodiment, the Dexterra Studio Developer is deployed as plug-ins to the “Microsoft VS NET Integrated Development Environment” (IDE) using Visual Studio Automation. The Dexterra Studio Developer provides professional services and engineering personnel with a robust, object oriented workspace in which to develop screens, define workflows, and create User Interface elements that enforce business rules using a common development environment and language such as Microsoft Corporation VB.NET or C#. A series of designers helps guide the user through specific steps of application development without reducing the power of this application development platform. These designers help the programmer create forms and steps that bind to the defined metadata, using the Configuration Web Service, that will interact effectively with the application server at runtime, thereby extending the flexibility and power of the system for any administrative information or back end configuration that may require more rapid or frequent change.
Referring back to FIG. 2, this block diagram shows how the relationships between columns and fields in the target application are related to information In the “FormFlows” (steps in the business process represented as “Forms” in the application) and are then associated into the ForceFlow (the business process). There can be many Business Objects in one FormFlow and potentially more than one FormFlow in any business process.
As noted above, in the FIG. 1 system, the mobile applications synchronize their locally held data, comprising the application and its business objects, with the backend enterprise database using a set of core “.Net” services that are exposed over the Internet using Web Services techniques. The .Net and Web Services techniques provide enhanced interoperability with other Web-based applications. Those skilled in the art will be able to implement the functionality described herein using the Net and Web Services techniques without further explanation. The requisite data for the mobile devices is determined by the metadata specified for the mobile devices.
FIG. 5 is a flow diagram that illustrates the Upload operation performed by the system illustrated in FIG. 1 in response to the “Update All” 404 selection to execute the synchronization tasks. FIG. 5 shows that the synchronization update tasks include “Upload” processing 502 and “Get Latest” processing 504. FIG. 5 shows that the Upload processing uploads, from the mobile client 102 to the application server 106 (FIG. 1), all the data records on the mobile client that have been changed or modified since the last previous synchronization was performed. The data records for the uploaded data will be specified in terms of the metadata for the system, as described above.
When configured for Administrative/Manual data conflict resolution, the application server will treat all conflicts as requiring manual intervention (such as from an administrator) to resolve, and will return a copy of the current data record from the back end enterprise data source and optionally notify via any notification service (SMS, Emai, etc.) that a conflict situation has arisen and allow for resolution via the Dexterra Administrator. Doing so allows for column-level conflict resolution, because the Administrator determines the values to reapply back to the back end enterprise data source selectively.

The synchronously switched buck post regulator accomplishes precise independent load regulation for each output and reduced magnetics volume by using a coupled inductor with a common core for all outputs plus a second smaller inductor for each output except the highest voltage output.
1. A secondary side buck post regulator for a second output of a multi-output forward converter comprising,
a first coupled inductor having a first winding and a second winding with an undotted terminal of said first winding connected to a first output of said multi-output forward converter and with said second winding connected in series with said second output of said multi-output forward converter,
a second inductor connected in series with said second winding of said first coupled inductor,
first switch means having a drain terminal connected to a dotted terminal of said first winding of said first coupled inductor,
second switch means, operable substantially in anti-synchronization to said first switch means, having a source terminal connected to an output terminal, which is common to said first output and to said second output of said multi-output forward converter and having a drain terminal connected to a source terminal of said first switch means and connected to a series winding network comprising said second inductor and said second winding of said first coupled inductor,
whereby said secondary side buck post regulator provides a second precisely regulated output with reduced magnetics volume and cost.
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION This is a division of application Ser. No. 10/944,588, filed 2004 Sep. 18, now abandoned.
The subject invention generally pertains to electronic power conversion circuits, and more specifically to high frequency, switched mode electronic power converters. Some of the subject matter of this application was first revealed in Disclosure Document Number 527396.
Many electronic circuits require power at more than one voltage, so power supply manufacturers offer power supplies with multiple regulated outputs. This was often an application for magnetic amplifiers, but magnetic amplifiers have become less popular as switching frequencies have risen and silicon semiconductor prices have fallen. One common way of providing additional regulated outputs in current use is illustrated in FIG. 1. Operational wave forms for the FIG. 1 circuit are illustrated in FIG. 2. In FIG. 1 a second regulated output is provided by a synchronously switched buck post regulator, which is a sort of semiconductor magnetic amplifier. In the FIG. 1 circuit an output choke L1 is provided for the main output and a second output choke L2 is provided for the second output. In general the first output voltage is fed back to control the primary switch and the second output is regulated with a local feedback loop which controls the delay in the turn on time of MS2A with respect to the turn on time of MS1A. This is leading edge modulation which is similar to that used in a magnetic amplifier. In most of these power converters there is a maximum power level which is the sum of the powers of the two outputs, but either of the two outputs can be operated at or near the maximum power level. This requires two output chokes each of which must be sized for the converter's maximum power level. An alternate method is illustrated in FIG. 3. The FIG. 3 circuit uses a coupled output choke to obviate two separate magnetic circuit elements sized for maximum power. In the coupled inductor the single core must be sized for maximum power and the window area must be sized to accommodate two windings each of which must be capable of accommodating the maximum output power. This is an improvement which results in a smaller and cheaper output choke, compared to the FIG. 1 circuit. The disadvantage of the FIG. 3 circuit is that the second output is not independently regulated and two secondary windings are required on the main transformer. What is needed is a circuit that achieves the performance of the FIG. 1 circuit but with lower total output choke volume.
OBJECTS AND ADVANTAGES An object of the subject invention is to reveal a technique for achieving multiple independently regulated output voltages with reduced total magnetics volume.
These and other objects of the invention are provided by new circuit structures for achieving independently regulated outputs in a multi-output power supply with reduced magnetics volume. Also revealed is a simple capacitor coupled floating drive circuit that is tolerant of voltage variations at the terminals of the high side switch.
FIG. 1 illustrates a forward converter with two independently regulated outputs according to the prior art.
FIG. 2( a) illustrates the timing wave form for the MPRI and MS1A switches of FIG. 1.
FIG. 2( b) illustrates the timing wave form for the MS1B switch of FIG. 1.
FIG. 2( c) illustrates the timing wave form for the MS2A switch of FIG. 1.

FIG. 2( e) illustrates the current wave form for the L1 inductor of FIG. 1.
FIG. 2( f) illustrates the current wave form for the L2 inductor of FIG. 1.
FIG. 3 illustrates a forward converter with two outputs utilizing a single coupled output choke according to the prior art.

FIG. 5( d) illustrates the timing wave form for the MS2B switch of FIG. 4 according to the subject invention.
FIG. 5( e) illustrates the current wave form for the L1A inductor of FIG. 4 according to the subject invention.
FIG. 5( f) illustrates the current wave form for the L2 and L1B inductors of FIG. 4 according to the subject invention.
FIG. 6 illustrates a forward converter with two independently regulated outputs using a coupled output choke with low magnetic coupling according to the subject invention.
FIG. 7 illustrates a current doubler rectifier forward converter with a quarter bridge primary network and two independently regulated outputs using coupled output chokes according to the subject invention.
SUMMARY The subject invention reveals a circuit that can achieve multiple independently regulated outputs in a forward converter with lower overall magnetic circuit volume and cost.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS FIG. 1 illustrates a single-ended forward converter with two outputs that can be independently regulated. The first output relies on modulation of the primary switch to achieve its regulation. The second output relies upon a second local control loop (not shown) to accomplish its regulation. The second output is a synchronously switched buck converter which is also referred to as a semiconductor magnetic amplifier since the switch control is similar to that of a magnetic amplifier. The main switch, MS2A, of the second output's buck converter is turned off in synchronization with the first output in each switching cycle and turned on after the switch MS1A during each switching cycle. Wave forms of the switch timing and output choke currents are illustrated in FIGS. 2( a) through 2(f). In commercial multi-output power supplies the designer's goal is to provide two independently regulated outputs, each of which can handle the converter's full output power rating in order to accommodate the broadest range of customers. In the FIG. 1 circuit each of the two output chokes must be sized to accommodate the full output load. FIG. 3 illustrates another prior art example that has been used for multi-output power supplies. In the FIG. 3 circuit there is a single output choke that accommodates both outputs, but the two outputs cannot be independently regulated in the FIG. 3 circuit. Different voltage levels can be set by adjusting the turns ratios for the two outputs. The turns ratio for the secondary windings should match the turns ratio for the coupled inductor windings in order for the output currents to be non-pulsating. The FIG. 3 circuit has the advantage of smaller magnetics over the FIG. 2 circuit, since the two outputs share a common magnetic core, but the two outputs are not independently regulated. The common magnetic core of the two outputs of the FIG. 3 circuit need only be large enough to handle the full power of the power supply.
FIG. 4 illustrates a two output power supply with independently regulated outputs that uses a common magnetic core for the two outputs, thereby saving the space of another large core sized to handle the full output power, plus a second much smaller core, L2, with a much smaller inductance that adds the ability to independently regulate the second output in a synchronously switched buck converter. In the FIG. 4 circuit the first output is controlled by controlling the duty cycle of the primary switch MPRI. The switch MS1A is operated in full synchronization with MPRI and the switch MS1B is operated in anti-synchronization to MPRI. A wave form illustrating the switch timing for MPRI and MS1A is illustrated in FIG. 5( a). A wave form illustrating the timing for the MS1B switch is illustrated in FIG. 5( b). The output voltage for the first output is determined by the duty cycle of MPRI and the turns ratio of the transformer T. For the second output the switch MS2A is turned off in synchronization with MPRI, but MS2A is turned on after MPRI so that there is a delay between the time MPRI is turned on and the time at which MS2A is turned on, as illustrated in FIG. 5( c). Switch MS2B turns on in synchronization with switch MS1B when MPRI is turned off, but MS2B turns off after MS1B is turned off due to the delay in the turn on of MS2A. MS2B operates in anti-synchronization to MS2A, as illustrated in FIG. 5( d). Because MS2A is delayed with respect to MPRI and MS1A the duty cycle for the second output will be less than the duty cycle for the first output and the voltage at the second output will be less than the voltage at the first output. The inductor L2 forces the output current for the second output to be non-pulsating since an infinite voltage would be required to create a step change in current in L2. The current in L1A is also non-pulsating, since there is no mechanism in the circuit to instantly interrupt current flow in either L1A or L1B. Current in L1A is provided through MS1A and the transformer secondary winding when MPRI is on or through MS1B when MPRI is off, although L1A could still be pulsating despite this fact, but only if the current in L1B is interrupted. L2 forces the current in L1B to be continuous. The currents in L1A and L1B will both be continuous, but they will not, in general, be simple triangular wave forms. A current wave form for L1A is illustrated in FIG. 5( e) and a corresponding wave form for L1B current is illustrated in FIG. 5( f). The current in L1B must be equal to the current in L2, since the two windings are in series. The slope of the current in L2 will depend on the value of L2 and the voltage applied to L2. During the course of one switching cycle there are three different values of applied voltage for L2. When MPRI is off MS1B and MS2B are on and the voltage at the node A is zero. While MPRI is off the dotted terminal of L2 is at ground and the undotted terminal of L2 is at a voltage V1, where
V 1 = V OUT2 - N 2 N 1 * V OUT1 , VOUT2 is the output voltage of the second output, VOUT1 is the output voltage of the first output, N2 is the number of turns of L1B, and N1 is the number of turns of L1A. Depending on the turns ratio,
N 2 N 1 , the current slope of L2 during the time that MPRI is off can be positive, negative, or zero. In the example illustrated the current slope of L2 is near zero during the off time of MPRI, as illustrated in FIG. 5( f). When MPRI turns on, MS1A also turns on, and the voltage at the node A becomes positive, such that
V A = N SEC N PRI * V INPUT , where VINPUT is the voltage of the input source, NPRI is the number of primary turns of transformer T, and NSEC is the number of secondary turns of transformer T. While MS1A is on and MS2B remains on, the voltage at the undotted terminal of L2 is V2, where
V 2 = V OUT2 + N 2 N 1 * ( V A - V OUT1 ) , so that the undotted terminal of L2 is higher in voltage than the dotted terminal of L2 and the current in L2 must be decreasing. In the example illustrated the rate of decreasing current is relatively large for this example while MPRI is on and MS2A is off, as illustrated in FIG. 5( f). When MS2B turns off and MS2A turns on, while MPRI and MS1A remain on, the voltage at the dotted terminal of L2 is VA and the voltage at the undotted terminal of L2 is V2 and the voltage applied to L2 is V3, where V3=VA−V2. During the on time of MS2A, the current slope in L2 can be positive, negative, or zero depending on the turns ratio,
N 2 N 1 , and the values of VA, VOUT1, and VOUT2. In the example illustrated the current slope in L2 is positive, as illustrated in FIG. 5( f). In a practical application the current slope of L2 during the on time of MS2A will, in general, be positive. Since L2 is connected in series with L1B the current in L1B will always be equal to the current in L2. The current slope in L1A will depend on the voltage applied to L1A and on the current slope of L1B and L2. The relationship between the voltage applied to L1A and its current slope is
V L1A = L 1 A * dI L1A dt + M 12 * dI L1B dt = L 1 A * dI L1A dt + M 12 * dI L2 dt , ( 1 ) where VL1A is the L1A applied voltage, IL1A is the current in L1A, IL1B is the L1B current, M12 is the L1AL1B mutual inductance, and IL2 is the L2 current. From equation (1) we can solve for the L1A current slope so that
dI L1A dt = V L1A L 1 A - M 12 L 1 A * dI L2 dt . ( 2 ) From equation (2) we see how the L1A current slope depends on both the voltage applied to the L1A winding and the current slope in the L1B winding. The turns ratio,
N 2 N 1 , should be set to provide a minimum average applied voltage for L2 in order to minimize the current slopes and output ripple currents, which serves to minimize the size of L2. The primary benefit of the subject invention is a reduction in total magnetics volume combined with independent regulation of both outputs. The reduction of magnetics volume is accomplished by using a common core for the L1A and L1B windings so that only one large core capable of handling the full output power is required. A second smaller inductor, L2, is required to provide independent regulation for both outputs.
FIG. 5 illustrates the subject invention with series inductances l1A and l1B, which represent the leakage inductances or uncoupled inductances in each winding of L1. In general, it is preferable to loosely couple the windings in a coupled inductor forward converter application, thereby increasing the leakage inductances, since the main advantage of using the common core for both outputs is a size and cost reduction, not a performance improvement. The effect of the leakage inductance here is to improve the overall ripple performance. The relatively large leakage inductances, in comparison to a tightly coupled L1, provide additional current smoothing without an additional magnetic circuit element.
FIG. 7 illustrates a multi-output current doubler rectifier forward converter with a quarter bridge primary switching network and independently regulated outputs according to the subject invention. In the FIG. 7 circuit planar magnetics become more practical because of the reduction of primary winding voltage stress. In the current doubler configuration two chokes are required for each output. In the FIG. 7 circuit two independently regulated outputs are achieved using two large chokes and two small chokes.
CONCLUSION, RAMIFICATIONS, AND SCOPE OF INVENTION Thus the reader will also see that a multi-output power supply using a secondary side synchronously switched post buck regulator can be improved by combining the output chokes onto a single core capable of handling the converter's full power and adding a small choke for the second output to provide fully independent regulation of the outputs.
While my above description contains many specificities, these should not be construed as limitations on the scope of the invention, but rather, as exemplifications or preferred embodiments thereof. Many other variations are possible. For example, power converters with more than two independently regulated outputs using a single large output coupled inductor plus much smaller chokes for the second and successive outputs are possible using the techniques revealed here.
