Books from the past we love to keep...
Watching: Sam Stosur win tennis!
Listening to: the frogs outside
Making me Smile: Thinking how lucky I am
Unlike many of my writer friends, I don't shelve a lot of my books. Of course there are exceptions to that rule (g). I've clung onto a few of my books for twenty-five years or more, the ones that have touched me in some way, resonated with me...ones that are just darn good reads.
Right now I find myself thinking back on the books I've loved, even as a child. The Black Stallion (of course!) The Silver Brumby series, The Secret Garden and The Wishing Chair. Actually, just recently I've ordered some 'learn to read' books for my youngest daughter, ones I still remember from thirty-five years ago (LOL - am I *really* that old???)
Not all of my keeper books are paranormal ones, although yes, J.R Ward's Black Dagger Brotherhood series has its own shelf.
My favourite 'old' books are actually good old fashioned romances. Top of my list:
1: The Wilder Shores of Love, by Madeleine Ker (1987) -The heroine Margot, is a heroin addict. The hero, Adam, literally kidnaps her and forces her off the habit.
I *love* this story - and it's a harlequin presents!! How the lines have changed - and you'll probably notice, the titles too.
2: Eagles Prey, by Lucy Gordon (1987) - Sara, a wildlife photographer goes to the very remote and supposedly uninhabitable, Farraway island to photograph golden eagles. Rorke, hiding out on murder charges, uses her as bait to lure the real killer to him.
This one is a Silhouette Desire, again very different to how the lines are today - same again with the title.
3: No Gentle Seduction, by Helen Bianchin (1991). Lexi has it all, a great modelling career, wealth and looks. But her father is ill...and Georg Nicolaos is ruthless enough to take advantage of the fact.
Another Presents line, and quite a lot like the modern presents, the rich heroine, the richer hero. This one is just a great read.
4: Lady Vixen, by Shirlee Busbee (1980). The heroine Nicole is desperate to escape from her abusive relatives. On seeing Christopher (Lord Saxon) she devises a plan. Cutting her hair and dressing as a cabin boy, she stows away on his ship. Lots of twists and turns, but you can guess the attraction when he discovers the 'he' is a 'she'!
This was possibly one of my first historical romances (Avon), and possibly still my very favourite. Of course, it's a bit of a bodice-ripper, but I seriously don't care in this one instance (g)
So what about you guys? Any old favourites out there I should know about? I'd love to hear about them =)

I love my old books, Mel! I reread them over and over -- including my old Enid Blytons. (Yes, I have The Wishing Chair too!)
Old romance favourites ... Georgette Heyer without doubt. And I'm looking around at the moment for a copy of Savannah Purchase by Joan Aiken Hodge, about a girl who pretends to be her cousin (who's married to the hero).
I love the sound of the four you've listed. Must look for copies! - January 21, 2011 at 5:13 AM

I still have my first ever SF novel I bought through the Scholastic Bookclub fliers at school (about 30 years ago).
It's called PLAGUE SHIP by Andre Norton and is a story about a young cargo master who signs up with the independent ship "Solar Queen" as a junior officer.
They're they underdogs in an often brutal space-trade business and the job is made harder when a deadly unknown disease is discovered on board. They then have to find its source and eliminate it before they're labelled a "plague-ship" and destroyed. It's all told through Dane's POV - a great rollicking space adventure.
Turns out it was the second in the series, so I ended up hunting down the first book and the rest is history. I became a SF nut. - January 21, 2011 at 6:57 AM

I love thinking about all the books that are on my keeper shelf when I was young Enid Blyton's Secret Seven and Famous Five where the best as for romance that I have been reading for a very long time I have all of Shirlee Busbee's on that shelf and loved everyone of them as well as Kathleen Woodiwiss's Shana and The Wolf and the Dove also Johanna Lindsey's books and of course the first romance I read Sweet Savage Love by Rosemary Rogers.
Brings back memories LOL
Have Fun

Hi Emily,
I think delving back into an oldie book, is like reminiscing a bit into your past =) - January 21, 2011 at 8:50 AM
- Mel Teshco said...
Hi Kylie!
Isn't it amazing how one book can fire the imagination - and see a reader turn the corner into becoming a writer!
ANd love that you are a SF nut =)) - January 21, 2011 at 8:53 AM
- Mel Teshco said...
Hi Helen!
All of Shirlee's books? (jealous!!!) I have read a couple of her other ones, (Gypsy Lady being one I recall offhand) but they just didn't do it for me the way Lady Vixen did.
And you can't go past an Enid Blyton =) - January 21, 2011 at 8:58 AM
- Emily May said...
Oh, I LOVE Plague Ship, Kylie! And the first one in that series. Was it Sargasso of Space? I was an utter Andre Norton fan at school, and still have heaps and heaps of her books. In fact, I got one just the other day -- one I've been looking for for years, Wolfshead, or Secret of the Lost Race. Can't wait to read it again!
- January 21, 2011 at 11:22 AM
- Kylie Griffin said...
Yes, that was the first in the Solar Queen series. Like you, Andre Norton was one of my first obsessions as a reader.
I now have many of her wonderful books. I don't know how many second hand bookshops I trawled to find missing titles.
Such fun and such adventure between the covers. Love them all! - January 21, 2011 at 12:00 PM
- Zana Bell said...
I loved "I Capture a Castle" which is not a romance or even a love story in that it's all about unrequited love but it's beautifully written. I was relieved that the movie version was fabulous too.
I loved Enid, especially the Famous Five and ones about Barney and his monkey Miranda. Narnia books too :) - January 21, 2011 at 1:19 PM
- TashNz75 said...
I have given my daughter all my Enid Blyton's which include the Twins at St Clares, Malory Towers and Famous Five books... wasnt really a secret seven fan. She's also got my sweet valley highs, Nancy Drews and Trixie Beldens.
Re the books for when we get older I've kept all of my Judith McNaughts and read them over and over. I've also kept the Miranda Lee series... cant think of the name but there's two sheiks, both half brothers and the third book is about an english business acquaintence... I like that series. - January 21, 2011 at 2:51 PM
- Mel Teshco said...
Ooh Zana, haven't heard of that one in book or movie form?! Will have to check it out!
I remember the fabulous five too, yet another book that had been on our shelves at one time or another. - January 21, 2011 at 4:27 PM
- Mel Teshco said...
Hi Tash!
Reading these posts bring it home just how popular some books were!
Hope your daughter gobbles up all those wonderful stories =)) - January 21, 2011 at 4:29 PM
- Sharon Archer said...
Mel, as soon as I read your post I thought of my Dallas Schulze books. The one I'm looking at right now is "Saturday's Child" with is published in 1990. It's a romance set in the early 1900s. Dallas does her historical atmosphere in this book just beautifully I think. And her contemporaries are just as good.
(happy sigh) I do love a rummage through the keeper shelf!
Sharon - January 21, 2011 at 8:02 PM
- Mel Teshco said...
Sounds like another goody Sharon! I haven't read an historical for quite some time...

Hi Mel,
I've still got a heap of my old Barbara Cartland with me! - January 22, 2011 at 9:50 AM
- Anna Hackett said...
Hi Mel --
I don't have many books I've kept from when I was younger -- but my Narnia books I've always kept.
On my romance shelf I have my fav Johanna Lindsey books including her SF ones (I *love* Warrior's Woman). - January 22, 2011 at 10:53 AM
- Mel Teshco said...
Hi Nas!
Barbara Cartland, I haven't read one of her books for a LONG time. But what a writing machine, eh! - January 22, 2011 at 3:30 PM
- Mel Teshco said...
Hi Anna,
Johanna Lindsey seems to be another staple for the book shelves, and actually even my mum was quite a fan of hers =) - January 22, 2011 at 3:31 PM
- Rachel Bailey said...
Mel, I *love* old books. I have double copies of some favourites, like Pride & Prejudice, because I've kept my old version plus a new one to read so I can 'save' the older one. :)
- January 23, 2011 at 12:33 PM
- Michelle Douglas said...
Mel, a lot of your faves as a child were mine too. Anne of Green Gables was devoured and re-devoured time and time again, but L.M. Montgomery wrote a load of books and one of my all-time fave romances is "The Blue Castle" -- very sweet, of course, but fab.
Jane Austen and Georgette Heyer are both reread very often. I went through a phase of reading the Lord of the Rings Trilogy every Christmas holiday. Hmm... might just have to try and fit in another reading of that this year :-) - January 23, 2011 at 1:58 PM
- Mel Teshco said...
I love that!! Two copies stored just so the old one is pristine =))
Mind you, I'm still trying to get into P&P *Wry grin* - though I do love the DVD, does that count? LOl - January 23, 2011 at 5:49 PM
- Mel Teshco said...
Michelle, that's good to hear!
I haven't read the Lord of the Rings, something I must try and get around to! How does it compare to the movies? - January 23, 2011 at 5:53 PM
- Robyn Grady said...
An old favorite of mine is Shanna by Kathleen Woodiwiss. I know I still have it. Somewhere is a box with books I've kept for 30 years.
- January 23, 2011 at 11:46 PM
- Mel Teshco said...
Oh Robbie,
I had that one too at some stage. I might have to try and hunt it down again! - January 24, 2011 at 8:05 AM
- TashNz75 said...
Hi Mel, I hope my daughter gobbles them up too... I used to read them to the girls as their nighttime story... the old fashioned boarding school stories totally fascinated them... which I guess is because the kiwi way is just SOOOOO different :)))

During the Asian session on Tuesday, the Australian dollar fell sharply against its key counterparts after the country's central bank slashed the main interest rate by 50 basis points to 3.75 percent.
The Reserve Bank of Australia, or RBA, today decided to cut the main interest rate by 50 basis points in a bid to support economic growth.
The rate cut was larger than expected by economists who were looking for a reduction of 25 basis points.
The size of adjustment to the cash rate was "desirable" because the financial conditions will now be easier than those which had prevailed in December, the Policy Board judged.
In economic news, Australia's manufacturing activity contracted sharply in April.
The Australian Industry Group reported today that its Performance of Manufacturing Index declined 5.6 points to 43.9.
A separate data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics showed that house prices in Australia declined for a fifth consecutive quarter in the January-March period.
The weighted average of the price index for established houses in eight capital cities fell 1.1 percent in the March quarter following a 0.7 percent drop in the December quarter. Economists had forecast a 0.5 percent fall.
The aussie touched a 6-day low of 1.0334 against the US dollar, compared to Monday's close of 1.0431. The next downside target level for the aussie is seen at 1.03.
The Australian currency touched a new 1-week low of 1.2679 against the NZ dollar, compared to a 4-day high of 1.2758 hit at 12:25 am ET. If the aussie slides further, it may target 1.26 level.
Salary and wage rates in New Zealand increased 2.1 percent for the year ending in the March quarter, Statistics NZ reported today.
Statistics NZ said for the quarter, rates increased 0.5 percent
Against the yen and the euro, the aussie dropped to near a 3-month low of 82.51 and a new 1-week low of 1.2828 with 81.5 and 1.29 seen as the next downside target levels, respectively. At Monday's close, the aussie was worth 83.27 against the yen and 1.2700 against the euro.
After reaching an 8-day high of 1.0306 against the Canadian dollar in early deals, the aussie weakened shortly thereafter. The aussie slipped to a 5-day low of 1.0214 against the loonie immediately after RBA announcement with 1.016 seen as the next downside target level.
In the European session, U.K. manufacturing PMI for April is due.
From the U.S., ISM manufacturing data for April and construction spending for March are set for release in the New York morning session.

Aanderaa Recording Current Meter Model 9/11
The RCM 9/11 is a family of single-point Doppler recording current meters with different casing options to allow working at depths of up to 300 (RCM 9 LW), 2000 (RCM 9 IW) or 6000 (RCM 11) metres. The recording unit is 51.3 cm or 59.5 cm high (RCM 9 and RCM 11, respectively) with a diameter of 12.8 cm.
The RCM is most commonly deployed in an in-line mooring configuration. As it operates under a tilt up to 35° from vertical, it has a variety of in-line mooring applications by use of surface buoy or sub surface buoy. The instrument is installed in a mooring frame that allows easy installation and removal of the instrument without disassembly of the mooring line. The instrument can also be used for direct reading of the various parameters. This is conveniently done due to its compact design, low drag force and easy handling. Data can be stored internally and read after retrieval or be read in real time on deck by use of the profiling cable.
Meter comprises:
- A Vane Plate (3681) to stabilise the meter during profiling (stops spin).
- Stainless Steel Mooring Frame made to facilitate easy installation and removal of the instrument by use of two knobs.
- Doppler Current Sensor (Current speed sensor) - Range of speed recorded 0-300 cm s-1 with a 0.3 cm s-1 resolution.
- Hall Effect Compass - Direction recorded with 0.35 ° resolution, 5 ° for 0.15 ° tilt and 7.5 ° for 15-35 ° tilt.
- Thermistor (Temperature sensor) - With selectable wide, low, high and Arctic ranges. Standard range -2.70 to 21.77 °C, accuracy 0.05 °C, resolution 0.1% of selected range, 63% response time (12 sec).
- Inductive Cell Conductivity Sensor (optional) - Range 0 to 75 mS cm-1, standard resolution 0.002 mS cm-1.
- Pressure Sensor (optional) - Silicon piezoresistive bridge, standard range 0 to 3500 kPa, resolution 0.1% of range.
- Turbidity Sensor (optional) - Optical back-scatter sensor, resolution 0.1% of full scale, (RCM 11 depth capacity 2000 m).
- Oxygen Sensor (optional) - Oxygen optode, range 0 to 500 µM, resolution < 1µM, response time 60 sec, depth capacity 6000 m.
- Data storage units DSU 2990 and 2990E are standard data storage devices for Aanderaa data collecting instruments.
A built-in quartz clock allows the time of the first measurement to be recorded in the DSU. The measuring system is made up of a self-balancing bridge with sequential measurement of 10 channels and solid state memory. Channel 1 is a fixed reference reading for control purposes and data identification. Channels 2 and 3 represent measurement of current speed and direction. The direction is found by the use of measurements along two orthogonal axis and linking them to true north by use of an internal compass reading. The instrument can operate continuously or in eight intervals from 1 to 120 minutes. At 60-minute recording interval the operating time is more than two years. The current speed and direction are averaged over the measuring interval. Channels 4, 5 and 6 represent temperature, conductivity and pressure respectively.
Further information can be found in the manufacturer's instrument specification.
BODC Current Meter Screening
BODC screen both the series header qualifying information and the parameter values in the data cycles themselves.
Header information is inspected for:
- Irregularities such as unfeasible values
- Inconsistencies between related information. For example:
- Depths of meter and sea bed.
- Times for mooring deployment and for start/end of data series.
- Length of record or number of data cycles, the cycle interval, the clock error and the period over which accrued.
- Parameters stated as measured and the parameters actually present in the data cycles.
- Originator's comments on meter/mooring performance and data quality.
Documents are written by BODC highlighting irregularities which cannot be resolved.
Data cycles are inspected using time series plots of all parameters. Currents are additionally inspected using vector scatter plots and time series plots of North and East velocity components. These presentations undergo intrinsic and extrinsic screening to detect infeasible values within the data cycles themselves and inconsistencies as seen when comparing characteristics of adjacent data sets displaced with respect to depth, position or time. Values suspected of being of non- oceanographic origin may be tagged with the BODC flag denoting suspect value.
The following types of irregularity, each relying on visual detection in the time series plot, are amongst those which may be flagged as suspect:
- Spurious data at the start or end of the record.
- Obvious spikes occurring in periods free from meteorological disturbance.
- A sequence of constant values in consecutive data cycles.
If a large percentage of the data is affected by irregularities, deemed abnormal, then instead of flagging the individual suspect values, a caution may be documented. Likewise documents will highlight irregularities seen in the current vector scatter plots such as incongruous centre holes, evidence of mooring 'knock-down', abnormal asymmetry in tidally dominated records or gaps as when a range of speeds or directions go unregistered due to meter malfunction.
The term 'knock-down' refers to the situation when the 'drag' exerted on a mooring at high current speeds may cause instruments to tilt beyond the angle at which they are intended to operate. At this point the efficiency of the current sensors to accurately record the flow is reduced.
Inconsistencies between the characteristics of the data set and those of its neighbours are sought, and where necessary, documented. This covers inconsistencies in the following:
- Maximum and minimum values of parameters (spikes excluded).
- The orientation and symmetry of the current vector scatter plot.
- The direction of rotation of the current vectors.
- The approximate amplitude and periodicity of the tidal currents.
- The occurrence of meteorological events and, finally, for series for which no time check was possible, the phase.
This intrinsic and extrinsic screening of the parameter values seeks to confirm the qualifying information and the source laboratory's comments on the series. In screening and collating information, every care is taken to ensure that errors of BODC making are not introduced.
RAPIDMOC/MOCHA Current Meter data processing document
This document outlines the procedures undertaken to process and quality assure current meter data collected under the RAPIDMOC and MOCHA projects.
Originator's processing
The raw data are downloaded from the instrument and converted to ASCII format.
Once in ASCII format the data are corrected for the following -
- Speed bias (caused by the mooring motion)
- Sound speed (as electromagnetic current meter sensors use the speed of sound in water to calculate the doppler shift in the returned signal, they are corrected for variations in sound speed using temperature data as sound speed varies with temperature).
- Magnetic variation
A 40 hour low pass filter is also applied to the data.
Calculating and applying calibrations
Manufacturers calibrations are applied.
Quality Control
Data were visually inspected for out-lying data and instrument electrical spikes removed.
BODC processing
Data are received after quality checks have been made and calibrations have been applied. The data files are submitted in ASCII format as one file per instrument.
Once the submitted data files are safely archived, the data undergo reformatting and banking procedures:
The data files are transferred into a common format, a NetCDF subset.
Standard parameter codes are assigned that accurately describe the data (see Parameter mapping section below).
Unit conversions are applied, if necessary, so that units are standardised (see Parameter mapping section below).
The data are screened visually and any spikes or instrument malfunctions can be clearly labelled with quality control flags.
Comprehensive documentation is prepared describing the collection, processing and quality of each data series.
Detailed metadata and documents are loaded to the database and linked to each series so that the information is readily available to future users.
Parameter mapping
The following describes the parameters contained in the originator's files and their mapping to BODC parameter codes:

Project Information
Rapid Climate Change (RAPID) Programme
Rapid Climate Change (RAPID) is a £20 million, six-year (2001-2007) programme of the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC). The programme aims to improve our ability to quantify the probability and magnitude of future rapid change in climate, with a main (but not exclusive) focus on the role of the Atlantic Ocean's Thermohaline Circulation.
Scientific Objectives
- To establish a pre-operational prototype system to continuously observe the strength and structure of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (MOC).
- To support long-term direct observations of water, heat, salt, and ice transports at critical locations in the northern North Atlantic, to quantify the atmospheric and other (e.g. river run-off, ice sheet discharge) forcing of these transports, and to perform process studies of ocean mixing at northern high latitudes.
- To construct well-calibrated and time-resolved palaeo data records of past climate change, including error estimates, with a particular emphasis on the quantification of the timing and magnitude of rapid change at annual to centennial time-scales.
- To develop and use high-resolution physical models to synthesise observational data.
- To apply a hierarchy of modelling approaches to understand the processes that connect changes in ocean convection and its atmospheric forcing to the large-scale transports relevant to the modulation of climate.
- To understand, using model experimentation and data (palaeo and present day), the atmosphere's response to large changes in Atlantic northward heat transport, in particular changes in storm tracks, storm frequency, storm strengths, and energy and moisture transports.
- To use both instrumental and palaeo data for the quantitative testing of models' abilities to reproduce climate variability and rapid changes on annual to centennial time-scales. To explore the extent to which these data can provide direct information about the thermohaline circulation (THC) and other possible rapid changes in the climate system and their impact.
- To quantify the probability and magnitude of potential future rapid climate change, and the uncertainties in these estimates.
Overall 38 projects have been funded by the RAPID programme. These include 4 which focus on Monitoring the Meridional Overturning Circulation (MOC), and 5 international projects jointly funded by the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research, the Research Council of Norway and NERC.
The RAPID effort to design a system to continuously monitor the strength and structure of the North Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation is being matched by comparative funding from the US National Science Foundation (NSF) for collaborative projects reviewed jointly with the NERC proposals. Three projects were funded by NSF.
A proportion of RAPID funding as been made available for Small and Medium Sized Enterprises (SMEs) as part of NERC's Small Business Research Initiative (SBRI). The SBRI aims to stimulate innovation in the economy by encouraging more high-tech small firms to start up or to develop new research capacities. As a result 4 projects have been funded.
Monitoring the Meridional Overturning Circulation at 26.5N (RAPIDMOC)
Scientific Rationale
There is a northward transport of heat throughout the Atlantic, reaching a maximum of 1.3PW (25% of the global heat flux) around 24.5°N. The heat transport is a balance of the northward flux of a warm Gulf Stream, and a southward flux of cooler thermocline and cold North Atlantic Deep Water that is known as the meridional overturning circulation (MOC). As a consequence of the MOC northwest Europe enjoys a mild climate for its latitude: however abrupt rearrangement of the Atlantic Circulation has been shown in climate models and in palaeoclimate records to be responsible for a cooling of European climate of between 5-10°C. A principal objective of the RAPID programme is the development of a pre-operational prototype system that will continuously observe the strength and structure of the MOC. An initiative has been formed to fulfill this objective and consists of three interlinked projects:
- A mooring array spanning the Atlantic at 26.5°N to measure the southward branch of the MOC (Hirschi et al., 2003 and Baehr et al., 2004).
- Additional moorings deployed in the western boundary along 26.5°N (by Prof. Bill Johns, University of Miami) to resolve transport in the Deep Western Boundary Current (Bryden et al., 2005). These moorings allow surface-to-bottom density profiles along the western boundary, Mid-Atlantic Ridge, and eastern boundary to be observed. As a result, the transatlantic pressure gradient can be continuously measured.
- Monitoring of the northward branch of the MOC using submarine telephone cables in the Florida Straits (Baringer et al., 2001) led by Dr Molly Baringer (NOAA/AOML/PHOD).
The entire monitoring array system created by the three projects will be recovered and redeployed annually until 2008 under RAPID funding. From 2008 until 2014 the array will continue to be serviced annually under RAPID-WATCH funding.
The array will be focussed on three regions, the Eastern Boundary (EB), the Mid Atlantic Ridge (MAR) and the Western Boundary (WB). The geographical extent of these regions are as follows:
- Eastern Boundary (EB) array defined as a box with the south-east corner at 23.5°N, 25.5°W and the north-west corner at 29.0°N, 12.0°W
- Mid Atlantic Ridge (MAR) array defined as a box with the south-east corner at 23.0°N, 52.1°W and the north-west corner at 26.5°N, 40.0°W
- Western Boundary (WB) array defined as a box with the south-east corner at 26.0°N, 77.5°W and the north-west corner at 27.5°N, 69.5°W

RAPID- Will the Atlantic Thermohaline Circulation Halt? (RAPID-WATCH)
RAPID-WATCH (2007-2014) is a continuation programme of the Natural Environment Research Council's (NERC) Rapid Climate Change (RAPID) programme. It aims to deliver a robust and scientifically credible assessment of the risk to the climate of UK and Europe arising from a rapid change in the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (MOC). The programme will also assess the need for a long-term observing system that could detect major MOC changes, narrow uncertainty in projections of future change, and possibly be the start of an 'early warning' prediction system.
The effort to design a system to continuously monitor the strength and structure of the North Atlantic MOC is being matched by comparative funding from the US National Science Foundation (NSF) for the existing collaborations started during RAPID for the observational arrays.
Scientific Objectives
- To deliver a decade-long time series (2004-2014) of calibrated and quality-controlled measurements of the Atlantic MOC from the RAPID-WATCH arrays.
- To exploit the data from the RAPID-WATCH arrays and elsewhere to determine and interpret recent changes in the Atlantic MOC, assess the risk of rapid climate change, and investigate the potential for predictions of the MOC and its impacts on climate.
This work will be carried out in collaboration with the Hadley Centre in the UK and through international partnerships.
Mooring Arrays
The RAPID-WATCH arrays are the existing 26°N MOC observing system array (RAPIDMOC) and the WAVE array that monitors the Deep Western Boundary Current. The data from these arrays will work towards meeting the first scientific objective.
The RAPIDMOC array consists of moorings focused in three geographical regions (sub-arrays) along 26.5° N: Eastern Boundary, Mid-Atlantic Ridge and Western Boundary. The Western Boundary sub-array has moorings managed by both the UK and US scientists. The other sub-arrays are solely led by the UK scientists. The lead PI is Dr Stuart Cunningham of the National Oceanography Centre, Southampton, UK.
The WAVE array consists of one line of moorings off Halifax, Nova Scotia. The line will be serviced in partnership with the Bedford Institute of Oceanography (BIO), Halifax, Canada. The lead PI is Dr Chris Hughes of the Proudman Oceanographic Laboratory, Liverpool, UK.
All arrays will be serviced (recovered and redeployed) either on an annual or biennial basis using Research Vessels from the UK, US and Canada.
Modelling Projects
The second scientific objective will be addressed through numerical modelling studies designed to answer four questions:
- How can we exploit data from the RAPID-WATCH arrays to obtain estimates of the MOC and related variables?
- What do the observations from the RAPID-WATCH arrays and other sources tell us about the nature and causes of recent changes in the Atlantic Ocean?
- What are the implications of RAPID-WATCH array data and other recent observations for estimates of the risk due to rapid change in the MOC?
- Could we use RAPID-WATCH and other observations to help predict future changes in the MOC and climate?

Sail-World.com : l'Hydroptère.ch takes on Blue Ribbon speed record
l'Hydroptère.ch takes on Blue Ribbon speed record
'l'Hydroptère.ch takes on Blue Ribbon speed record' © Loris von Siebenthal/HYDROS
The experimental catamaran l'Hydroptère.ch, crewed by Daniel Schmaeh, Stéphane Dyen, Gaël Ledoux, Guillaume Coyon and Cédric Pochelon, have gone after the mythical Blue Ribbon speed record between Geneva and le Bouveret and back, a record held since 2007 by Décision 35, captained by Philippe Cardis, in 4 hrs 53 mins 19 secs.
After having left at 10.30 a.m., propelled by a strong westerly wind, the hydrofoil catamaran made exceptional time en route to Le Bouveret, reaching Yvoire in less than half an hour and then Le Bouveret in one hour 44 minutes – the absolute speed record on this course aboard a yacht.
The return trip proved more challenging, sailing into the wind blowing from the west, which prevented the team from performing numerous maneuvers. l'Hydroptère.ch finally crossed the line after five hrs 17 mins 42 secs – a remarkable time which not only ranks as the best performance of the year, but also as the record for a yacht, the previous best time being five hrs 35 mins.
'Our outbound journey was extraordinary,' enthused Daniel Schmaeh, skipper of l'Hydroptère.ch. But conditions proved particularly unfavorable on the return trip. We were expecting the Joran on this small lake; instead, we were hit by a westerly wind which prevented us from performing numerous tacking maneuvers. That is what cost us the record.'
l'Hydroptère.ch - © Loris von Siebenthal/HYDROS
Record attempts are normally made in northerly winds, and the l'Hydroptère.ch team knew very well when they left this morning that conditions were not perfect. 'For us, it was above all a good opportunity to acquaint ourselves with the course and to work on our maneuvers,' explained project head Jérémie Lagarrigue, who followed the attempt from a distance.
'We knew that the record would be very difficult to beat, which gives us even greater satisfaction that we came so close. We will of course continue with our attempts and try to prove that boats equipped with hydrofoils are superior to other vessels. Indeed, the goal of Hydros is not simply to beat records: it is to prove that efficient use of technology can reduce energy consumption and thus improve energy output, be this in relation to a race yacht or an industrial application.'

When activated, the seal resembles vines as it spreads across his body. In its level two state he grew wing-like protrusions from his forearms and a broad flat tail.
He was able to enter the second state of the cursed seal, but was powerful enough to brutally massacre all the prison guards with just the first state.[2]

I agree with the other poster about adding more cucumbers. I weighed the cucumbers according to this recipe and only ended up with 5 pints and lots of liquid left over. (I cut up a couple of cucumbers, covered them with the liquid, and placed in the refrigerator to snack on.) Other than the fact that I didn't get 7 pints, I thought the recipe was wonderful and would make again!

Second in a series
As Sampson County's United Way prepares for its upcoming fundraiser, a dinner event named "Outstanding in Our Fields," the five chefs chosen to prepare the special meal are hard at work too.
One of those chefs is Patty Tarr, a self-described "foodie" and the woman behind the delicious fare at the Ashford Inn, which she owns and runs with her husband Mason.
"Ever since I was young, I wanted to own a bed and breakfast. I've just always liked to cook and I love to entertain," said Tarr, a New Jersey native, about how her interest in cooking began.
"I just love to play around with food. I have never had any professional training, but I can usually figure out a recipe," said Tarr of her natural culinary gift. "Usually I can just think up a dish and know when something is going to be good."
Although she began her career in finance, Tarr often used her abilities in the kitchen to help prepare meals for her family, an experience that helped prepare her for her work now at the Ashford Inn. "When my mom got older, I started doing the big family parties," Tarr recalled.
Whether she is cooking meals for the family or preparing food for a party at the Ashford Inn, Tarr is used to feeding crowds of people, a good thing since United Way is selling 100 tickets to their fundraiser.
"I'm in charge of the cocktail hour which I'm really comfortable with," noted Tarr of the part she will play in United Way's dinner event. "It's easy to prepare for. We've done weddings with 100 people before so that's not a problem."
Although she's keeping her exact plans for the cocktail hour a surprise, Tarr revealed that her food, which is always fresh and made from scratch, will be unique, including the way in which it will be served.
"Something that we like to do that you don't see much is butlered hors d'oeuvres which we'll be doing for the United Way event," said Tarr. "I just think it's something special, something elegant."
Special is an appropriate description of United Way's "Outstanding in Our Fields" dinner event, and Tarr is likes how United Way is making the fundraiser one to remember.
"I think the VIP ticket offering is a nice idea. I really like that it involves us, the chefs, bringing our parts of the meal out to this select group because people like to talk to and get to know the chefs," said Tarr. "I know that I like it whenever we go to Southern Exposure and Joanie [Babcock] comes out to speak to us."
As much as she is looking forward to preparing her own part of the dinner, Tarr is equally excited about sharing the kitchen with the other four chefs involved.
"I'm really looking forward to working with this group of chefs. It's a fun, talented team," said Tarr. "It's also exciting that everyone is only making one dish apiece, so you know that everyone is really going to bring their best game and create something that is just going to knock people's socks off. That element makes it really exciting."
When the chefs met at the Ashford Inn last week for their first official chefs' meeting, Tarr was impressed with everyone's accommodating attitudes and team spirit.
"I was really excited when everyone [all the chefs] agreed to be the team," shared Tarr, meaning that the chefs will help each other plate and do final preparations of their dishes. "That's cool that they are willing to do that."
Being able to count the chefs among her friends adds a meaningful element to participating in the fundraiser.
"I've known Debbie [Valenti] for a while. She has actually been a guest chef here [at the Ashford Inn] a couple of times which was really fun," recalled Tarr."I'm also good friends with Joanie. I met her when we went to her restaurant, and since getting to know her, I've helped her out with a couple of events. I told her I'd even wash dishes if I could just be in the kitchen with her and watch her cook. I think she's very talented and really creative."
Mostly though, Tarr is honored to be a part of United Way's "Outstanding in Our Fields" fundraiser. "United Way meets here [at the Ashford Inn] regularly, so we've worked with them before and they really seem to like our food. And, of course, we have always supported them and their efforts. I think they have come up with a wonderful idea."

This week Wal-Mart announced that it would put significant weight behind the new Boxee TV box, a $99 set-top box that competes with the market-leading Apple TV and the runner-up Roku boxes. Wal-Mart also sells the Apple TV and Roku devices, so it might not seem like a big deal, but it is. Because Wal-Mart is going to promote Boxee TV with in-store displays and outbound marketing support. Why? Because in addition to the regular apps like Hulu, Netflix, and the rest, Boxee gives Wal-Mart customers three things they can't get from Apple or Roku:
To summarize, you get the same video apps as you can get elsewhere plus all this other stuff, for the same cost as an Apple TV. Seems reasonable for Wal-Mart to get behind it, certainly. But the real aim here is for Wal-Mart to finally have a shot at pushing its Vudu on-demand service into consumer homes. It's no mistake that if you look at Boxee's website you'll see the Vudu is the first or second app shown on every page, making it seem as popular as Netflix, even though it remains far behind in consumer use.
Here's why this matters. First, Wal-Mart customers are still in play. Due to their economic profile, they are not the first people to get iPads or other more expensive devices, meaning that they are still open as to which devices, which platforms, and which video services they will lock in to. If Wal-Mart were to wait a year or two to make this push, those customers might have aligned with iTunes or Amazon On Demand, but for now, there are millions of Wal-Mart customers still open to choosing a digital video platform.
Second, this opens a new door to cord-shaving. I went on record in 2011 saying that cord-cutting would begin to matter at the end of 2012 and I stand by that assertion. But cord-cutting requires more work than it's worth for most people -- young technophiles are most likely to do it because they know how to get around many if not most obstacles to watching what they want to watch, where they want to watch. Cord-shaving, on the other hand, is not about technology sophistication, it's about money. And that is precisely where Wal-Mart's average customer sits. Sure, to take advantage of Boxee's No Limits DVR service, they'll have to pony up $10 a month. But if they can cut $20 a month from cable by dropping back to a basic cable subscription, they come out better off. Plus they have an infinite DVR service that lets them watch on the devices they're adding to their lives.
It's a perfect recipe for cord-shaving, though it only applies to people who don't care about live sports or HBO, which is where many Wal-Mart customers drop out of consideration. But you only need 5% of households to shave the cable subscription in order to cause significant woe. Can Boxee TV do that? No, not on its own. But with Wal-Mart's help? My money says yes, if they really commit to it.

1. | Lima | ||
Capital of Peru, South America. Founded in 1535 by Francisco Pizarro, a spanish conquerer. Nice weather and interesting sightseeings. I will visit Lima this weekend
2. | Lima | ||
If you want to know what it was like to live in Ohio in the 1930's; and it's not beneath your dignity to work boring, dangerous, even filthy jobs, then Lima, -a city on Hog Creek in western Ohio, exactly between Cincinnati and Toledo off I-75-, is the place to be!
Winters are fairly mild, summers cool, -Lima is not as hot as Cincinnati, nor as cold as Fort Wayne. Were it not for the occasional explosion over at the nearby BP oil refinery, (the backbone of the entire job base in Lima), or military contracts making jeeps and tanks, I would consider Lima even bucolic, at least in its outskirts. Shawnee, an old Indian reservation to the south, (also on Hog Creek, but downwind of the refinery), is now a township with its own country club where all the rich people want to live. Years ago, there was even a Johnny Appleseed tree in front of Shawnee School. Unlike Flint,-a town also off I-75, with it's own share of misery and contributions to the past, Lima has never depended on just one industry. So, if a company makes an exit, (and several have), others seem to fill in where that one left off. Some speculate, though, that if the oil refinery ever leaves, it would be a death blow just like what happened to Flint with General Motors.. I'd like to see that happen. Lima people have that kind of sadistic streak in them. More to the point, the oil refinery has put Lima on the map as a potential nuclear strike target, so the reason for all the military. ... |

The capital and largest city of Peru. Has many old colonial buildings as well as new modern ones. Many beaches, malls, great food, and places to visit. It never rains in Lima. Possibly the best city in South America

The lawyers representing Graham's parents hired an independent producer and a media company to interview their clients, saying that they did not want them to relive the February 2 shooting by answering questions for multiple reporters.
When they couldn't get in, they went through a back door and up to Graham's second floor apartment. Police say he ran into the bathroom, where he was shot once.
No gun was found, and police say the teen was dumping marijuana down the toilet.
Graham's parents, Franclot Graham and Contance Malcolm, say that they were treated with disrespect at the local police precinct, and that the victim's maternal grandmother, who was present at the shooting, received excessive questioning from police.
"They wouldn't let [my mother] out. Another police officer tried to restrain me and put my arms behind my back. I started screaming, 'They're going to kill me like they killed my son. Let me go, let me go,'" Malcolm says in the taped interview. "And I'm doing that, I'm holding onto my mom, and the other officer was pulling her back into the room and locked the door."
"The officer was looking at us and giggling, just smiling, just laughing like it was Christmas Eve and they were about to have a Christmas party," says Franclot Graham in the taped interview.
The parents say their son, who they call Marley, wasn't a bad kid and that he had dreams of being in the music industry. They say that dream was cut down by a police officer's bullet.
They intend to file a lawsuit.
Ramarley Graham's wake is scheduled for 4 p.m. Friday at the Crawford Memorial United Methodist Church at 3751 White Plains Road in Wakefield.
His funeral will also be held at the Crawford Memorial United Methodist Church at 10 a.m. Saturday.

Permian Basin Reacts To Pope Benedict's Resignation
By: Jenne Anderson
Updated: February 11, 2013
"After having repeatedly examined my conscience before God, I've come to the certainty that my strengths, due to an advanced age, are no longer suited to the adequate exercise of the Petrine ministry," stated Pope Benedict XVI.
This was an announcement that took the world by surprise.
After 8 years as the head of the Catholic Church, Benedict announced his plan to resign on February 28th.
"In order to govern the bark of Saint Peter, and proclaim the gospel, both strength of mind and body are necessary," explained Benedict.
At 85 years old, Benedict says he just doesn't have that strength to adequately do his job.
"We have appreciated of course, the wonderful ministry of Pope Benedict XVI," stated Monsignor Larry Droll. "And we thank god for his ministry."
Monsignor Droll has been a Pastor at Saint Ann's Catholic Church in Midland for 9 years.
While he wasn't expecting the pope to resign, he says it was a wise decision.
"It shows that he very carefully considered it," said Monsignor Droll. "Very prayerfully considered it."
And this seems to be the overall feeling from many who shared their comments on the Big 2 Facebook page.
Leigha Gaines wrote: "I think he is very brave to admit he doesn't believe he can continue to do the job required."
And Diana Hudgins commented: "I trust that he knows his time is through as pope. I know that he is feeble. I pray god's best in whoever is to be the next pope."
That's a concern from many Catholics around the world, who anxiously wait to see who the next Pope will be.
"The Cardinals of the church from all over the world will gather together in Rome in a conclave," explained Droll. "And that's where they will prayerfully elect the new Pope."
Monsignor Droll tells us that decision will come down in March.
Meanwhile, Pope Benedict thanks Catholic members around the world for their continued support.
"I thank you most sincerely for all the love and work with which you have supported me in my ministry," said Pope Benedict. "And I ask pardon for all my defects."
In his statement, Pope Benedict says he plans to continue serving the Catholic Church through a life dedicated to prayer.
