Captain's Report
In addition to the distinctive topside design of the Nordhavn 63, the aspect of her build that is even more important to her sea-keeping abilities is the construction at her very core. By that we mean her scantlings, the dimensions of all of her structural parts, such as her stringers, transverse members, and hull lamination schedule. These are details rarely discussed even by many owners of the boats. Yet, they are the fundamental basis for Nordhavns Yachts' world-ranging abilities and its prominence of the brand as one of the world's leading builders of production expedition vessels.
Building the Nordhavn 63
The Bottom Laminate.
Let's start in the bottom of the boat because that is where her core strength resides. The hull of the Nordhavn 63 is a solid laminate of fiberglass mat, cloth, woven roving and resin. There is no coring material below the waterline. This thick, solid fiberglass hull, in the opinion of Nordhavn's designer, is superior to cored hulls which have two thinner glass laminates separated by a core material such as balsa or foam. One, thick laminate is simply stronger and more puncture resistant. Since the Nordhavn 63 is a displacement boat, weight is not a super-critical factor for its builder and in any case the best place to have weight is in the bottom. We are told by the designers at Nordhavn that they generally follow the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) standards for hull lamination schedules.
What is ABS?
The American Bureau of Shipping's core service is the provision of classification services through the development of standards called ABS rules. These rules form the basis for assessing the design and construction of new vessels and the integrity of existing vessels and marine structures.
ABS Lamination Schedule.
ABS also has rules that cover recreational vessels that are 78' (24 meters) and larger. While the Nordhavn 63 is obviously smaller so cannot carry an official ABS classification, Nordhavn tells us that it follows the ABS rules in its laminate. Nordhavn says, "The heavier scantlings to which Nordhavns are built not only enhance the overall quality and feel of the boat, they also contribute to its long-term life and resale value."
Stress Points.
Places in the hull which will incur added stress, such as where the fin stabilizers attach to the hull are reinforced with added laminates. Nordhavn says the other areas will receive added stress such as the stem and the transom also receive extra laminates.
Vinylester Barrier
The Nordhavn 63 has three layers of vinylester resin as a barrier skin coat. Vinylester and epoxy are the only materials used in fiberglass hulls that stop water osmosis, which causes blistering. Because of the hydrostatic pressure of water on the bottom of a hull, if it is made with polyester resin, water will eventually penetrate the hull into core materials.
Stringers for Strength
Stringers in fiberglass yachts are typically made in a "hat section" which can be trapezoidal, rectangular or round. Nordhavn put 12 longitudinal stringers in its new 63. These stringers run the full length of the hull from the bow to the stern.
In the Nordhavn 63 the 12 stringers are 2-1/2" x 5" (6.3 cm x 12.6 cm) and are covered with five layers of woven roving and mat. All of this is in addition to the two huge, beefy stringers for the engine mounts. In addition to these 14 stringers, Nordhavn laminates in an integral lower rub rail just above the waterline which acts as yet another longitudinal stringer, making 16 in all, eight on each side of the boat.
Transverse Hull Supports
Traditionally the main transverse supports for a large fiberglass hull have been the bulkheads and floor timbers. But rugged use of boats over the years -- even those built by the most conscientious builders -- has shown that is not enough. Oil-canning, "wheezing" of the hull in and out, and wracking of the hull in arduous conditions all play havoc on bulkheads and interior structures, sometimes cracking and breaking them. Who hasn't heard creaking and groaning when punching into steep head seas even at displacement speeds?
Nordhavn says that they use as much solid FRP as possible in the bilge and engine room and that any marine grade plywood employed is sheathed in protective fiberglass.
The Deck Adds Strength
Of course, added to all of this is the boat's deck. It is chemically bonded to the hull with 3M 5200 which is now the industry standard for mating decks with hulls. This stuff is so strong the fiberglass will fail before it does we are told by some of the country's best boat builders. Nevertheless, Nordhavn says that ABS would never approve a boat with only the adhesive bonding and so it also glasses the two parts together.
Nordhavn makes sure that the hull and deck flanges to be joined are as thick as are the laminates in those parts, as prescribed by ABS. Then it puts 1/4" bolts through the flange on 6" (15 cm) centers. After that process, the inside of the joint is fiberglassed over with two layers of material.
We like this process because if there is a tiny leak between the 5200, this glass barrier will stop it. (If you have ever had a deck leak that you could not find, then you will appreciate the virtue -- and importance -- of this procedure.) The Nordhavn 63 hull should be one of the stiffest on the water.
Using Internal Structures for Strength
Over the years veteran builders like Nordhavn have gotten savvy about how to use bunks, shelving, cabinets and built-in furniture to add to hull support, by fiberglassing these internal structures to the hull, an egg crate-like internal structure is created which makes hulls much more rugged.The Nordhavn 63 even uses its fiberglass fuel and water tanks to add strength to the vessel. They are fabricated to the shape of the hull and then bonded to the interior surface of the hull with 5200 and fiberglass. They not only provide added rigidity, but also create what amounts to a second bottom where the tanks are located.
How Important is the "Core"?
Scantlings, stringers and transverse members are not particularly glamorous or exciting subjects. You will never see them mentioned in the ads or on the websites for the brands of motoryachts that populate most of the French Riviera. The buyers of these yachts have other objectives, and for the most part they do not include long-distance, owner/operator cruising. For these yacht owners, luxury, styling, status, peer-approval (or envy) and appearance are the primary factors that go into the boat-buying decision.The boaters who would consider a Nordhavn are a different breed and they have far different objectives. At root, they want a boat that can handle the worst of what Mother Nature can dish out that can't be reasonably avoided. They want a boat with a structure that is beyond concern when the going gets rough or when things go wrong. Nordhavn is not the only company building a strong "core" structure into its motoryachts, but it is one of the few brands that is actively seeking buyers who care more about a yacht's build-quality than how many ladies can sun bath on the flying bridge.

Fujitsu Eyes Wireless Gadget Charging For 2012
Written by admin No Comments
Last Updated: September 13, 2010
angry tapir writes "Researchers at Fujitsu Laboratories have developed a wireless charging system that they say can simultaneously charge a variety of portable gadgets over a distance of several centimeters without the need for cables. The system, which will be detailed at a technical conference in Japan this week, could begin appearing in mobile phones and other products as soon as 2012, the company said. Fujitsu's system is based on magnetic resonance in which power can be wirelessly sent between two coils that are tuned to resonate at the same frequency."

Florida Caverns State Park
Did you know that Florida has caves as beautiful as the famous Mammoth Cave and Carlsbad Caverns? Florida Caverns State Park is near Marianna in northwest Florida. The beautiful Florida Cavern that is available for tours is a series of connected rooms. The rooms contain dazzling formations of stalactites, stalagmites, columns, and other fascinating features.
These features were created when surface water seeped through the limestone rock, dissolving the calcium. As the water containing dissolved calcium dripped from cracks in the ceiling, the process formed stalactites. Stalactites grew down from the ceiling. The water containing calcium that dripped from stalactites formed stalagmites below. They grew up from the cavern floor. Columns eventually formed when some stalactites and stalagmites met. The creation of these formations took tens of thousands of years.
In addition to stalactites, stalagmites, and columns, there are features that resemble soda straws, ribbons, and draperies. There are fossils, pools of water, and terraces. Many of these formations have been given names, such as the bacon rock, the South America pool, and the wedding cake.
Altogether, there are 10 acres of caves. During the Seminole Wars many Native Americans hid in the caves. The Civilian Conservation Corp (CCC) developed the cave for visitors in the 1930s. The CCC removed mud, widened passages, and excavated where necessary to provide headroom.
The guided tour is _ mile long through lighted passages. Park rangers offer guided tours several times each day. The cave tour takes about 35-40 minutes. It begins about 60 feet below the surface. The temperature in the cave remains at 65 degrees all year. Visitors wind and loop their way through limestone, eventually emerging at the surface a couple of hundred yards from the entrance.
Other caves are available to visit only by Florida Park Service permits. The caverns are fragile. The slightest disturbance by humans can destroy these delicate natural wonders. Some of the caves are available only for scientific research.
The caverns are home to blind salamanders and crayfish, as well as the endangered gray bat. The easily disturbed bats are not found in the tour cave, but live in the numerous smaller caves found in the park. Caves inhabited by gray bats are protected under an Endangered Species Act.
The park contains a wide variety of wildlife and plants. Many are quite rare. Woodpeckers, barred owls, beavers, alligators, rare Barbours map turtles, and alligator snapping turtles can be seen. American beech, southern magnolia, white oak, and dogwood trees are prominent throughout the park. Because this has been a state park since the 1930s, many of the trees have reached an impressive size. Wildflowers appear at different times of the year.
The parks nature trail goes along the edge of a bluff next to the river floodplain. In some places the bluff is 30 feet high. It overlooks a forest. At the end of the trail is the Tunnel Cave, a hundred-foot passage through a section of the bluff. This passage is very popular with visitors.
The Chipola River flows underground in the park at a river sink. It reappears several hundred feet downstream, forming a natural bridge. In the early 1900s, loggers cut a ditch across this natural bridge to float logs downstream.
Visitors can take a guided tour through the large cavern. They can camp out and swim in the Blue Hole Spring. They can hike on trails and canoe on the Chipola River. Visiting Florida Caverns State Park is one of the outstanding experiences available in Florida.
How Florida was Formed
Throughout most of its history Florida has been under water. In earliest times, Florida was part of Gondwanaland, the super continent that later divided into Africa and South America. There is evidence that Florida separated from Gondwanaland about 300 million years ago.
Florida eventually found itself wedged between Gondwanaland and North America when they combined to form the super continent Pangea. When Pangea began to break up, Florida remained behind with North America.
Florida slipped slowly beneath the waves to become part of North Americas continental shelf. Coral, shellfish, and fish skeletons piled up. This created a layer of limestone hundreds (in some places thousands) of feet thick.
As the Appalachian Mountains eroded, sand and clay were deposited over Floridas limestone layer. When the sea level fell, Florida finally emerged from the seas as part of the North American mainland.
Because limestone is porous, water gradually dissolves the rock and forms cracks and passages. The limestone layer of the state is honeycombed with underground rivers. Where the rivers break through to the surface, springs and sinkholes are found.
In the center of the Florida panhandle, the rock has been pushed up and there are some sizable hills. This area includes numerous caves. One of the best of these cave systems has been developed for touring in Florida Caverns State Park.

Hi Harry,
Can you talk a bit about how work doing covers for paperbacks are done? I'm curious about what information you are provided prior to doing the work. Like, do they give you a summary of the story or do they just give you an idea of what they want?
Also, have you ever read any of the stories when they were published?
Happy new year!

Hi Vince,
Sorry about the delay in answering your questions, I was out of town for a bit. Sometimes the art director will give you an idea of what they want illustrated for a cover, other times they will let you take the time to read the book and ask for what I think will make a great cover. At times I have done a sample illustration and they use it for a cover without me reading or getting info from them. It varies all over the lot.

Charter student completes research in Seyfferth's lab
When Rohith Venkataraman, a junior who attends the Charter School of Wilmington, decided to search for research being conducted by University of Delaware professors, he did not know what he would find. By chance, he came across Angelia Seyfferth's research and sent her an e-mail asking if he could help out in her lab. Now, about a year since that e-mail was sent, not only has Venkataraman completed his research with Seyfferth, assistant professor in the Department of Plant and Soil Sciences, and Gang Li, a postdoctoral researcher in Seyfferth's lab, but that research helped him place first in the plant science section of his school's science fair. He will now be presenting his research project at the 19th annual Delaware Technical Community College Science Expo in February. "It's safe to say that email was a great decision," said Venkataraman. "Dr. Seyfferth has been encouraging and helpful right from the get go and I have had a wonderful research experience under her guidance and Dr. Li's tutelage." The research began last summer when Venkataraman worked with Seyfferth and Li on a plant science project dealing with the arsenic uptake mechanism in rice plants. Venkataraman said that Seyfferth's previous work suggested that one can decrease the amount of arsenic assimilated by a plant if one adds silicic acid to the growth media of rice plants. "This promising research could lead to new ways of growing rice in areas with high arsenic contents in the soil," said Venkataraman. "As a means to confirm literature and test our own variables, we designed and grew plants over a period of 3 weeks, 6 weeks, and 9 weeks. The plants were then flash frozen and stored in a freezer for further RNA analysis of oxidative stress genes and total arsenic content analysis." Venkataraman said that the procedure for extracting RNA and analysis was "quite complex. There were many steps each requiring careful attention to details. The procedure required adding small quantities of many solutions and centrifuging the tissue numerous times." As for his favorite part of the project, Venkataraman explained that he enjoyed assisting Li with changing the nutrient solutions for the plants and assisting with the liquid nitrogen flash freezing. "The attributes of chemicals and their properties have always amazed me," said Venkataraman. "I have always looked forward to Dr. Seyfferth's insight on scientific aspects of the research, which she has enthusiastically shared with me. Dr. Li has guided and explained about various processes that we were working on. Both of them have expanded my horizon of knowledge and made my experience at the lab and research something that I have looked forward to." Seyfferth said that she was "impressed by Rohith's questions and scientific inquisitiveness, he is a highly motivated young student." Seyfferth added that she is "eager to continue providing research opportunities for high school students across Delaware." As for his plans for after high school, Venkataraman said that he is not sure what he wants to do yet but that he is exploring studying molecular biology along with a pre-med track.

Diseñadores de todas las partes del mundo están proponiendo diseños creativos a Kevin Kowalke en la categoría de diseño logotipo - custom.
WANTED: Logo design that will capture the passion of a hard-core snowboarder. The logo design will be branded to be recognized by full company name as well as by insignia. There will be a lot of follow up work after this initial design.
Ridiculous Snowboard Gear
I am looking for a logo design that will have the ability to last the test of time as fads & styles change while incorporating a bit of an edge in style.
These logos will be used for everything from business cards, websites, apparel designs, etc. The name and logos will be everywhere in the snowboarding marketplace.
Here is how I define the feeling behind "Ridiculous Snowboard Gear": "That move was so awesome it was Ridiculous," or "That dude got so much air it was Ridiculous." Ridiculous is a positive word that defines amazement. It does not have any negative meaning behind it at all.
Buyers of this apparel line will say, "I'm Ridiculous!", "He/She is Ridiculous!", or "We're Ridiculous!"
I would like examples of a company logo featuring the full business name (Ridiculous Snowboard Gear), a stand alone logo (which I define as an insignia) that only incorporates the letter "R" in some sort of "Badge" or "Seal," and a separate logo that would be used for the community membership site called "The Ridiculous Snowboard Nation." The font, style and color should be the same for each item.
Classic examples include but should not be copied include:
Harley Davidson - http://www.HarleyDavidson.com
BMW - http://www.BWMusa.com
Boston Red Sox - http://www.RedSox.com
Red Sox Nation - http://www.RedSoxNation.com
X BOX - http://www.Xbox.xom
Snowboard Company Specific examples include but should not be copied include:

Salomon Snowboards - http://www.SalomonSports.com
Quiksilver - http://www.QuikSilver.com
Grenade - http://www.GrenadeGloves.com
Sims - http://www.Simsnow.com
The above snowboard sites will also give you an idea of what is currently in the market.
The largest target market for Ridiculous Snowboard Gear is male/female ages 13-29.
This new apparel company is all about the snowboarder and the roots by which snowboarding becomes a person's passion. This is not about corporate America. The company will stress a sense of belonging and community and will give back to the snowboarding community via various charitable causes.
With this being my first of many design contests I hope I have given you effective guidance. Feel free to ask questions for any clarification as I will give the best feedback I can on all of the designs.
- Item 1...My initial thoughts are to have the main company logo highlight the word "Ridiculous" with "Snowboard Gear" underneath it (similar to how Ride Snowboards does it). But, I will defer to you as the design expert as to the ways to make it pop! Another idea was to have the "R" logo (insignia) behind the company name faded 75% or so. I'm not sure if that would be too overwhelming or distracting. Again, just offering up ideas. Please do what you do best and make me excited about the designs.
- The logo could have all capital letters or a combo of first letter capital the rest lowercase. Again, I am open to your creativity.
- I am open to color schemes that you feel will make it pop and fit the overall feel to the logo.
- The font needs to be clean, crisp and readable.
- I would like the art in a vector format like that produced by Adobe Photoshop or Adobe Illustrator.
- Item 1...No pinks or feminine looking colors.
- No fancy script type fonts.

Alloy USA uses high strength 4140 Chromoly in all its Jeep axles. Our axles are heat-treated twice and induction hardened to produce these heavy-duty axles that are up to 35% stronger than stock 1040 axles. Alloy USA uses the latest cold spline rolling technology, to produce splines that are stronger than traditional cut splines. Alloy USA shafts are covered by an exclusive 10-year warranty! Rear axle shaft kits include everything you need for your installation: both passenger and drive side shafts, seals, bearings and wheel studs.
Was very easy to install, as some one else mentioned the wheel studs where not attached to the hubs so you have to use an impact or a press, Really not that big of a deal but would have been nice to been done for you already. I purchased this to replace my stock Dana 35 drive shaft that got shredded out on the trails here in central CO. I havent had a chance to go ride with these yet but its obvious that they are better than stock. I'll update the review if I have any issues.
Would have rated a 5 except the wheel studs were not installed. I do not have a press so I had to install with an impact. Not the best way but it works.
Install went excellent. Be sure to keep your spider gears secure.
Great up-grade! Replaced my bent rear axles. Kit comes with everything you need. *Make sure you have, or know someone with a press, so you can press in the wheel studs. Beat the heck out uf them, and they did great! 10 year warranty! I have a 2005 TJ with a B.D.S. lift, and running 33" 373 gears. Great product!
Im considering buying these for my 97 wrangler. I'm running 35 Procomp mt2s tires. i have the stock dana 35 in the rear right now with stock gears. its running fine now with no problem but i want to upgrade. Would these axles handle the 35 in tires?
Asked by Kyle from Trevor, WI on
Hi Kyle The Dana 35 Chromoly Rear Axle Kit are heavier duty than the original shafts from Dana Spicer and work fine. The problem with the larger tires on the dana 35 is the housing is week. Thanks
Answered by LWiff ext 4804 from Trevor, WI on
What lug pattern is it
Asked by redneck from pcola on
Hi Redneck The Dana 35 Chromoly Rear Axle Kit is 5 on 4.5 bolt pattern. Thanks
Answered by LWiff ext 4804 from pcola on
I have 1992 wrangler 4.0L and I won't to make sure that this product will be the same size of the original axel?
Asked by Mohamed from United States on
Hey Mohamed, this part would work for you with no problems. Thanks for your question.
Answered by Devin B. ext 4835 from United States on
As an Omix-ADA brand, Alloy USA specializes in manufacturing high performance drivetrains, axle shafts and kits and performance ring and pinion sets.

Refactoring does not means new features. Refactoring means that you make the code maintainable.
Revision as of 16:47, 19 January 2008
Free software often grows over time -- both in terms of the amount of code and as well as the number of individuals contributing to the code base. For example, over the course of a software project's development life, the original author(s) may not always be available or even willing to maintain the code forever, so other people may become involved in the code's development. This holds true for v4l-dvb drivers and associative utilities. In our case, you don't need to be a core-developer in order to become involved in their further development, as everybody is invited to review the code and contribute. Such contributions can be done on several different levels:
- simple clean ups of the code for the purposes of providing logical correctness, correct coding style, spelling/grammer/punctuation, or Bugfixes
- more involved changes that introduce driver performance optimisations or
- a complete refactoring of the code base, typically done in light of simplifying the code, and perhaps making it more future-proof
What is Refactoring?
Wikipedia provides a brief definition and discussion of the refactoring process, in which you will find mentioned that the basic principles espoused are:
- Simplify your Code.
- Don't introduce new Features in the Refactoring Process.
- Break down API Barriers where they don't make Sense
- Introduce new Interfaces where they stabilize your Code.
- Try to keep external Interfaces as stable as possible.
- Split complex Modules into smaller, easily testable ones with well-defined Tasks.
- Avoid Confusion.
- Simplify your Code.
Refactoring is a natural process in respect to projects that usually grow over time. To use an analogy, every now and then, what has grown through natural means into jungle will need to be cut back in order to make it a nice place to live again. Unfortunately, often due to clashes of vanities and feelings of possessiveness, the steps towards a refactoring can sometimes be accompanied by loud discussions that equate to little more than unruly philisophical debates and holy wars. But don't worry: dogs that make noise usually don't bite. Revolutionary ideas sometimes need some fighting to get through.
Since developers may become, with time, a little myopic in respect towards their own code, it makes sense that the reviewer/refactorer and programmer are often not the same person. No part of the Linux kernel is exclusively owned by a maintainer. If a new solution makes sense, sooner or later it will make it into the public source tree.
Refactoring does not means new features. Refactoring means that you make the code maintainable.
Keep it Simple
The simpler the resulting code is, the easier it will be to maintain. Even from the performance point of view, simple code is almost always preferable.
If you want to see some impressive code following this approach, you may want to check out one of Fabrice Bellards Projects, e.g. TinyGL or the ID software GPL games Doom, Quake & Co -- both of these are great examples of highly efficient coding (in terms of both compactness and performance).
So please: Whatever you do, please keep it Simple.
Please do never ever apply big Changes in-place
If you plan to rewrite bigger portions of the code please don't create a huge patch or thousands of patches but fork the relevant code modules so that people can easily test them concurrently with the old code and are free to use the old, usually well-tested code until your new version has matured.
There have been several situations in the past where the linux-dvb CVS was barely usable for weeks or months because we did not followed this principle. Please respect that other people are using the linux-dvb source in productive environments and rely on a working code base.
Please avoid postings like "[PATCH] I ported all drivers to this and that kernel API because this is the way the kernel maintainers like it to see!". Sometimes people are going their own way with reason, you are never able to foresee the effect of such major changes on all the exotic platforms the linux-dvb stack is used. If you really think using the new API is the way to go then please let's fork the source tree and move over to the new tree as soon it is verified on all architectures and well-tested.
Psychological Prerequisites
Refactoring does not only means to rewrite code but also to convince all other developers to accept the changes and to join your efforts.
Approach #1: The Democratic Trial -- let's discuss!
- Somebody starts the discussion and makes his prosaic proposal.
- nothing happens for a while.
- Guru #1 says: "mmhh... interesting!"
- Guru #2 says: "No go!!! we need to do it like I already started years ago!!"
- Guru #3 says: "yes, Guru #2 is right, we have to follow the mainstream API development!"
- Guru #1 annotates that the new approach has some appealing properties and simplifies many things a lot.
- several less involved developers join discussion and take sides with Guru #1, #2 or Guru #3.
- The Proposer refines his approach and maybe even provides some sample code.
- Guru #1 says that he likes it.
- Guru #2 or Guru #3 make their own proposal and post some sample code explaining the plan they are following since years.
- Guru #1 calls it bloat and emphasizes how simple the new approach may be.
- Guru #3 says that we would have to rewrite a lot of code.
- (mails get harsh in sound, sometimes even quite personal. Arguments count less and less.)
- The Proposer, Guru #2 and Guru #3 post several new proposals converging closer to each other. The sample code gets more and more complicated due to all the special cases that come to discussion.
- For a while it becomes quiet.
- Guru #2 or Guru #3 posts a new approach that funnily looks quite similar in concept to the original code of the proposer but is a little less clean due to the exhausting fights.
- Proposer says: "hey, that looks familiar!" -- Guru: "may be."
- Sometimes a few mails refining the final details close the discussion.
Approach #2: Just do it
The process outlined above may sound very democratic and entertaining but it eats a lot of time and good mood, is thus kind of counterproductive. If you don't want to spend your energy in flame wars you may try this:
- Implement your approach for 2 or 3 sample drivers (choose a complex one, e.g. a STB driver or the av711x-ttpci driver and 2 simple ones, a hotplug-USB device and a modern PCI card).
- Post your code on the linux-dvb mailing list and propose to start a new development branch in CVS where this work can get continued. Request a CVS account if you don't already have one so that you can easily work on your code.
If your new code has serious advantages it will get incorporated for sure. In most cases it will take less time to write the new code than to await the end of discussion.
DVB driver development is done by everybody who wants to join development, no Guru has absolute power over the code. So you can be sure that everything that makes sense will make it sooner or later into the mainstream source tree.
Additionally, you achieved a nice side effect: Every developer will be highly motivated to make his own driver as elegant as your reference code, so you can be sure that all developers will join the development. This is in opposition to the "Democratic Discussion Process" where the risk is high that first many developers are pissed off by harsh words in discussion and later try to "personalize" the code just because they can't resist to put in some pieces of their old theory just to keep it alive. And nobody asks why they're doing it because everybody fears a new flame war (what again may prevent emergence of homogeneous and easy-to-maintain code).

I received an excellent question from a Facebook friend the other day. And even though my response is brief, I suppose this might be a question that a lot of folks have for people like me!
"So I'm curious… What led you to become involved with ICAN? Personal experience or passionate commitment to natural childbirth? Or both?" "I am always interested in how people come to be involved in this kind of advocacy."
My brief response:
I had a cesarean in 2004 and didn't fully understand the impact of it until much later. I joined ICAN when it was time to try for another baby and have been involved ever since. So, now it's personal experience as well as passionate commitment to evidence-based practices in obstetrics as well as spreading the word about the benefits of natural childbirth, VBAC, homebirth, birth plans, doulas, midwives, whatever! Also, I'm very concerned about the national cesarean rate and our local rate in Missoula. That's it in a nutshell!!
And of course I suggested that she have a look at my blog!

This last week the Henry Art Gallery finally revealed it's new show of artwork by artist and architect, Maya Lin. Maya is best known for her design of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C. which she made as an undergraduate at Yale in 1982. Since then, Maya has been exploring with making pieces heavily influenced by naturally occurring phenomena, such as geology, landscape, and natural earth formations. It seems to me that she usually concentrates her efforts on large-scale outdoor works, such as parks and memorials, so her new show, kept indoors at the Henry, ironically struck me as somthing a little fresher.
The show consists of many small works, but also 3 large-scale installations, each filling their own entire room. The main attraction of the show is titled 2X4 Landscape, made up of approx. 65,000 boards set on end, and is 36 x 53 x 10.
Maya Lin's 2x4 Landscape will be available for interaction (you get to walk on it) on Thursday, May 4 from 57 PM. Registration is required, limited to ten participants at any given time. Registration must be in person and will be accepted on Thursday, May 4 from 11 AM4 PM at the Admissions Desk. There are only 80 slots available and entry to the landscape will be first come, first served. You'll also be asked to sign a waiver as well as put on some special shoes to minimize harm done to the artwork. Unfortunately, people will have to keep off the incline to ensure no one breaks their neck. Phooey.
Even though I was given a press badge for the event, I wasn't supposed to photograph everything I saw. In fact, Betsey, the woman in charge of giving me my press privalges, was very clear in her e-mail that I needed to be very well behaved and that I needed to "... follow the rules explicity. Please. OK?" These two pictures down below came along with the press kit I was given, which is a good thing because I didn't photograph the pieces while I was at the show. There were three in all and were all part of Maya's "Atlas Landscape" series.
To make these, Maya bought some world atlases and cut into them using an exacto-knife. Pretty simple. Also, there's actually a small portion of an interview on the Art:21 series PBS put out a few years ago, where during a conversation, Maya is cutting away on these guys. I think there might be a bit more of an explanation on there if you're interested ...
This here was the 2nd of the major installation pieces. These first two pictures down below came with the press kit I mentioned earlier, and show the original model and early construction stages of what would become "Blue Lake Pass."
If these things weren't hollow, they'd prolly weigh like 700 lbs. each, or something.
The blocks are all made of Duraflake particleboard, and each block is 3x 3 (20 blocks total), 18x 23overall. Apparently, when the blocks are all shoved back together, it's a topographic translation of an actual mountain range.
Call me crazy, but I thought they had a really nice blonde color to them. They'd also prolly make for a fun quick game of hide and seek/tag for little kids.
This seemed a bit silly, but it's supposed to me a 15 x 168" model of the Columbia River made entirely of pins stuck in a wall.
These I liked though. They are from another series of three called "Bodies of Water" and are made of Baltic birch plywood. Each shows the depth and water volumes of various inland seas, such as the Caspian and Red Seas down below.
Here's another one I don't think I can quite grasp... They're supposed to be plaster reliefs of imagined landscapes embedded straight to the wall. They actually seem a bit hokey to me, and remind me of a time in middle school when, out of anger, I kicked a hole in my bedroom wall. To avoid conflict, I tried patching the wall myself and never told my parents about it. My spackle job looked very similar.
Another weird series I'm not so sure about. Maya Lin talked about these at a lecture she gave the night before the opening, and mentioned that she was interested in the power and individuality of a singular line. She showed a slide show of different parks she designed all over the world in which she modified the land to be raised up like the picture below. I found them to be a lot more impressive than the 11 x 17 x 2 cast bronze versions of the same thing. Still, maybe these were just early ideas and models for what became the parks.
There were a quite a few other things in the show, but this last one I have to show you is of Maya's last huge installation, "Water Line." It's made of painted aluminum tubing measuring 3410 x 292 x 19, and can be walked under or looked at from above. Similar to her other pieces, it is a topographic surface based on an undersea formation.
During my visit, this was the first thing I was able to photograph using my first ever press badge. About six times or so while I was taking pictures, different members of the Henry staff pounced on me to let me know photography was NOT permitted. Flashing the badge was an interesting experience since I've always had to go undercover in the past. It was kind of fun in a weird way, but it also made me feel over-privileged and like I was working instead of casually preparing stuff for my blog ... Hopefully people will decide to keep giving me special passes and I'll get used to the feeling. Also, mentioned on the list of rules I was given on how to behave, I was told I had to ask everyone included in my photos if it was okay with them. I did happen to see Maya at the show, but decided to lay off and to forget about trying to get a photo. She seemed kinda busy and was always talking to three people at once anyway.
All in all, the show was a pretty good success. It was booming with rich old people, quite a few yuppies, and even a few youngsters. I definitely had a good time at the show, sorta wandering around by myself, checking out the stuff. The lecture Maya gave the night before over at UW was interesting too, although the projection could have been WAY better. Thanks to Betsey Brock, the Communications and Outreach Manager (AKA press manager) for giving me all the free access and all the hook-ups. I should also mention that Richard Andrews is the Director of the Henry Art Gallery, and that he curated the whole thing. I think I remember him being introduced at the lecture hall as a "fearless hero," which I thought had to have been an overstatement, but thanks to him just the same.
Also, just so you know, the show runs April 22 September 3, 2006, and the day to go walk around the 2X4 installation is May 4th. Thursdays are free, but every other day you gotta shell out $10 for general admission. Also, keep in mind that the gallery is closed on Mondays. Oh yeah, there's also a really interesting show on the other end of the gallery of Roy Lichtenstein's prints from 1956-1997.
Yes, that's Chinese Chairman, Mao Zedong in the backround...
Anyone interested in comics or that super bizarre 80's pop art movement that went on would prolly enjoy the show. I really wish I could have made it out to that opening too, cuz I prolly could have written up something neat for it. There's some really cool pictures of living rooms that some how manage to show a ton of depth using the flattest imagery possible. I dunno. Just go check it out. You'll be surprised at how well Maya is able to alter the Henry's space, and at how well Roy is able to create space out of near nothing. {moscomment}

Harry Potter fan has some suggestions
Thanks to the Business Association and congratulations on the spectacular Harry Potter weekend.
I am possibly the most devoted Harry Potter fan that I know. I have read the books over and over and now Harry Potter is my good friend. I applaud Chestnut Hill as a community for honoring, with an entire weekend, one of the greatest works of children's literature in history.
I enjoyed myself immensely, and I hope this tradition continues. Should it become an annual event, I would like to register two suggestions for making the experience even more magical.
First, the Harry Potter movies were complimented with moving and memorable scores by the gifted composer John Williams. I feel that hearing the familiar music would take you back to the scenes seen in the movies and imagined in the books where you are standing alongside Harry on all of his adventures in the wizarding world.
If speakers were strategically placed in the trees along Germantown Avenue, this music would follow you as you visit each of the stops on the Marauder's Map.
Second, everyone knows that Harry Potter did not begin as a billion dollar movie and merchandise franchise, but an astounding work of literature. The Harry Potter books were a turning point for children's reading habits; these books spiked a great interest in the privilege of reading.
J.K. Rowling inspired millions of children to read, and her works could continue to inspire many more to become readers if we made a point of recognizing the books themselves in our celebration.
What I am getting at is that there should be readings from the books all along the Avenue so that those who have never before read Harry Potter can learn what they are missing and those who, like me, love hearing the stories again and again, can sit and listen.
These are my suggestions; however, the essential point of this letter is to praise a job well done and to thank the organizers for a chance to celebrate the bespectacled boy we all know and love.
Isobel Grogan
(OMC School, 7th Grade)
Bowman plan for Magarity is too dense
We have lived on Southampton Ave. since 1983 and have seen many changes to the commercial blocks of Germantown Avenue. We are not opposed to development – to the contrary, we appreciate and enjoy the commercial vitality of the Avenue and encourage further growth in keeping with the distinct character of the neighborhood.
We also understand the 8200 Germantown Avenue property is a large lot fit for a different kind of store than the boutiques that the Avenue is known for. Indeed, Magarity Ford operated at the site when we bought our home.
The zoning changes that Donna Reed Miller will introduce in city council represent a significant departure from what Magarity was and from anything we've seen in our neighborhood. It would allow Bowman to build well beyond the five stories projected in his building plans for the Germantown Avenue part of his site.
On the Shawnee side of the lot, the new zoning would raise the height limit to 50 ft. from 35", allow for building to cover 100 percent of the land. This change would mean no yards, no setbacks and more densely packed residences. There would also be a wall that supports the structure 12" high at the corner of Shawnee and Hartwell.
There would be additional noise, light, traffic complications for Highland, Shawnee, Willow Grove – an area already prone to congestion, once West Hartwell Lane access is eliminated. The intense use and paving of the site would clearly mean loss of old trees and green space.
We do not oppose Bowman's right to develop its land in accordance with the rules in place when it purchased the property. We do oppose Bowman Properties attempts to radically alter the zoning rules in a way that will forever change the character of the historic neighborhood.
We object to Bowman reaping an economic windfall – increasing their land value and diminishing that of residents in the area – not through shrewd development, but by simply changing the rules.
We, and Bowman, understood the accepted uses of our respective properties when we purchased them – it is unconscionable to allow them to radically upset that balance simply because they have greater resources and influence in the political system.
If the new zoning goes through, it will not only represent a strike against fairness, it will set a precedent for future changes. In a few years, densely developed commercial complexes may replace what we now have along Germantown Ave.

All for nothing
Three hundred on-line votes for a co-op bookstore at the former Borders and the likely same 300 voices concerning overdevelopment of the Magarity site are meaningless. Grocery stores and bookstores are typically built by developers rather than retailers.
These developers operate on the principle of "Highest and Best Use." Google it and get, "the reasonably probable and legal use of property, that is physically possible, appropriately supported and financially feasible, and that results in the highest value."
Successful developers often bend the "legal" limits, requesting zoning modifications to maximize the "highest" value. Indeed, I have often criticized the Bowman business model that somehow displays a vacant store as "highest and best use," but this admittedly new approach that seems to defy Bowman's reputation as "guardian" of Chestnut Hill suggests that this venture is so large that they have financial partners that may insist the project be built and occupied.
There will always be a group of community idealists who think that the future of Chestnut Hill is in their hands. Let's collect $100 from each of the 10,000 men, women, children and golden retrievers that call Chestnut Hill home (or $1,000 from 1,000). Now we'd have a million dollars that we could use to buy … a condo. Bowman paid $4 million for the land alone.
So be it. But for the good of the community, I suggest Philadelphia enact a vacancy tax on every developer that does not lease or otherwise occupy a commercial property and that all zoning changes require a performance bond to guarantee the project will be built and occupied as presented.

Thanks but more info would be nice
Thanks for Jennifer Katz's article on efforts to make people more aware of safety in the Wissahickon area of Fairmount Park. It was a good start. However, it seemed incomplete.
The article said there was an attempted rape in the Wissahickon six months ago and that there is a sizable reward for information leading to an arrest.
The article at least noted that Friends of the Wissahickon is administering the fund and that people with information should call the Citizens Crime Commission Tipline at 215-546-8477.
The article noted that the "description of the attacker and the manner of the attack are strikingly similar" to previous violent attacks in Fairmount Park.
However, the article did not give any further information about the description of the attacker or the manner of the attack. So, the reader is left knowing there is a danger but not what to look for. More information about this danger and generally how to be safe would be appreciated.

Drop droppings
When I got home the other night from dog sitting for friends in Merion Station, I found my empty trash can in its usual place by my front steps. Before hauling it to the garden in back of my little farm house, I lifted the lid to find a nicely tied plastic bag of dog poop. It had started to ferment. I could only imagine the odor had I left it there until next Friday's trash pick-up. The next day I took the plastic bag and deposited it into a public trash can.
As I see it, there are two steps to disposing of dog poop: (1) place it in a bag and then (2) either take the bag home or place it in a public trash can.I ask dog walkers to please complete both steps in the process. I am tired of taking charge of part 2.

Thanks for writing advice
I've been remiss in not thanking you (Hugh Gilmore) sooner for so generously sharing your journey, including the recent info about being able to self-publish via Kindle. Very very encouraging for all of us wanna-be writers! While I am not yet Kindled, it is very helpful to know about this option. I've recently joined a wonderful writing group, and have shared links to your articles with the rest of the group.
Your honesty and humor are always a great mix and a great read. I never miss a column!
I am filled with admiration for your persistence and courage. When I get around to Kindling, I will have to buy your book!
Janet Mather Chestnut Hill Support those who oppose Chelten Plaza development
The battle for the future of Chelten Plaza has been racking the Germantown community for months. Developer Pulaski Partners plans to erect a Save-A-Lot and Dollar Tree combination in a lot that used to house a full-service grocery store.
Opponents who came out by the hundreds in two community meetings over the last few months have called the plan a disservice to Germantown, not just because it focuses on low-priced merchandise with a limited selection, but also because it plans to do so using $3 million in public funds for economic development.
Two organizations, Germantown Cares and West Central Germantown Neighbors, in partnership with other Germantown residents, have been picketing Chelten Plaza. We are saying "NO to Dollar Tree, NO to Sav-A-Lot = YES to Germantown." We hope that our neighbors in other Northwest Philadelphia communities will join us in support of the protest, either in print or in person.

Conferences and plugfests will be announced later this year with the support of some of the largest webmail providers, handset makers and email application developers. We want all email users worldwide to become as familiar with IMAP as music buffs have become familiar with the Dolby logo. For the full history of IMAP, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imap
Sharp, simple, elegant and visually arresting. Must be able to look great across multiple uses (color, black/white, big conference room, small logo on mobile phone, backlit on displays, etc...) Should ensure the tie-in to the email world, be bold enough to still be relevant 20 years from now. Should have wide appeal across many cultures.
Logo needs to work with both IMAP and imap.org
Have fun with colors and fonts, avoid static designs that do not go beyond just a fancy font - we need a visual element that is clever and appeals to techies.

Scott Wozniak Debut Album
Watch Video and Pledge
Help house music producer Scott Wozniak raise funds for his 2014 debut album. Find out how you can be a part of it!
House music producer / keyboardist Scott Wozniak is looking to raise $16,000 for his debut album via Kickstarter. He's played keyboards on records from artists like Pink to Toni Braxton and for other groundbreaking producers like Mantronix to David Morales. As a remixer, he's had huge success with Estelle's "Fall In Love" on Atlantic Records, "Glad I Found You" on Defected, and as a musician he laid down the music for the chart-topping "At Night" by Shakedown. He's also been releasing singles and remixes for labels worldwide since 1996 and still found time to teach music production at DubSpot, the premier electronic music and DJ school in New York City.
He's been around a long time. Why hasn't he released an album before?
In Scott's own words: "I never felt like the circumstances were completely right. Things have fallen into place recently where I could have full creative control by going with an indie label. It also means the budget to do this project the way I see fit is going to need some help. That's when I got the idea to go the Kickstarter route."
$16,000 seems like a fair bit of money. What will it be spent on?
CD and vinyl manufacturing, mixing with several different engineers, mastering, artwork, some expensive equipment rentals like microphones and outboard gear, and finally, money to pay the vocalists and musicians that will be featured on the record. The final product will feature 12 tracks, give or take a couple. This doesn't happen cheaply. Also, Kickstarter and Amazon take a combined 10% for processing fees. Pretty much every dollar has been accounted for.
How long will it take to finish the album?
Scott's given himself a very generous window to get this done the way he wants. Scheduling the (very well-known) vocalists who have very busy careers is a major factor. The album will be be finished no later than September 2014. Possibly earlier. It will be available through iTunes, Beatport and Traxsource as a digital download. The CD and vinyl versions will be exclusive to supporters of this Kickstarter project. Check out the rewards section!
Why should I fund this project?
Well, for starters, Scott's a genuinely nice guy. He also regularly gives away lots of his original edits and remixes. Also, the limited edition (only 200 will be pressed) white vinyl and CD will ONLY BE AVAILABLE RIGHT HERE for supporters of this Kickstarter campaign. They won't be for sale anywhere else. Also, without your help, this album could never happen on the scale that it would through Kickstarter. We're talking quality, folks. Google Scott's name if you're unfamiliar with him.
So where's the music?
Because of Kickstarter rules and copyright reasons, we're not allowed to post music Scott has released on other labels directly here. However, there is no law against gently nudging you towards examples that are already out there. For example, Scott played all the music on the hugely successful "At Night" by Shakedown --> LINK
Here's Fatboy Slim playing it for 250,000 people on the beach at Brighton, UK --> LINK
Scott's remix of DJ Gomi's "Glad I Found You" featuring Yasmeen made the song an international smash hit --> LINK
Here's Scott's remix of Kimbra's "Settle Down" --> LINK
Scott Wozniak's remix of The Police's "Every Breath You Take" --> LINK
Scott's official remix of Estelle's "Fall In Love" --> LINK
Here's Scott's remix for the brand new Robin S single on our label, Sonido Local Recordings --> LINK
Scott's fresh and amazing reinterpretation of "Beat It" by Michael Jackson --> LINK
Scott Wozniak's remix of Jill Scott's "Whatever" was so popular in the UK that it was bootlegged on vinyl on three separate occasions --> LINK
Scott's remix of Duran Duran's "Girls On Film" --> LINK
Scott's remix of Miguel Migs featuring Lisa Shaw, "Those Things" --> LINK
Scott Wozniak's remix of India Arie's "Headed In The Right Direction" --> LINK
Scott's remix of Sade's "I Never Thought I'd See The Day" --> LINK
Scott's remix of Seal's "Violet" --> LINK
... We could go on for a long time. Scott Wozniak has a lot of stellar credits under his belt as a musician, producer and remixer. This is why we want to do this debut artist album with him, giving him complete creative freedom. Unfortunately, being a very small independent label, we simply don't have the resources to make this album happen without funding. That's why we're asking for your help by offering some special treats that we think you'll love. That's about it, guys. You have the info. Let's make this happen!
We sincerely thank you for taking the time to visit this page. Even if you are unable to make a contribution at this time, you can still help by spreading the word. Have a great holiday season!

The Berkeley Fair Campaign Practices Commission Hears TUFF Charges
Last night marked the first well-attended Fair Campaign Practices Commission meeting on the TUFF violations; there were 20 audience members, and the Oakland Tribune sent a reporter. The result was predictable, with commissioners whose Council appointers had endorsed the slate voting to accept the stipulation arrived at between city legal staff and the offenders (with one important change) and commission members appointed by Councilmembers who hadn't backed the slate voting in the minority (4-3) to reject it. But the path to the vote involved four different kinds of hand-wringing by the prevailing majority that at least provided the audience, the vast majority of which had spoken against accepting the stipulation, with moments of suspense and mystery.
The first interesting wrinkle was technical. There are only eight members on the commission (the Moore appointment is vacant), which would normally mean five votes were needed to prevail; but even though one commissioner was absent (Dave Ritchie, Maio's appointee—Maio's long-time aide Brad Smith was appointed by Wozniak, so Ritchie is likely a swap with Wozniak, a move generally made when political considerations make it uncomfortable for a Councilperson to appoint the person they really want to appoint), they were able to pass the stipulation with only four votes because Ritchie's absence was, under recently-adopted Council rules, counted as a vacancy because it was formally excused in advance.
The minority also voted, on motions by Anna De Leon (Arreguin), first to reject the stipulations, and next to overturn the previous decision by the board and to proceed with an investigation and testimony under oath. The only member to put on a real show of conscience, Jay Costa, was appointed by, appropriately, Bates, who's also the only member of the council machine who had not endorsed the entire TUFF slate. In order to bring Costa back into the fold, chair O'Donnell (Capitelli, originally appointed by Diane Woolley Baer) offered a motion which included sacrificing the parts of the stipulations declaring that there was no evidence of intent to violate city ordinances. De Leon had argued forcibly that the idea of making a determination of no intent in the absence of a hearing and sworn testimony was logically impossible. O'Donnell also made the assertion that the Commission shouldn't fine the TUFF defendants the $50,000 in illegal donations they'd gotten because the statutory authority to do that had been put in place by Council a year ago, and it was too new and untested to use yet. The accused parties will have to accept the stipulation absent the no-intent determination before the case is closed.
Afterwards, in the matter of the stipulation arrived at by staff with the No on S Committee over their failure to report $500 in late contributions in a timely fashion as prescribed by the ordinance, the commission voted unanimously to reduce the stipulation from $500 to $50. it had been pointed out by audience members that the No on S committee's fine, unlike the TUFF fine, was exactly equal to the amount of donations they had mishandled. It was also pointed out that the violation the No on S committee had made, not reporting late donations on time, was surely worth a discount on a par with that given to the TUFF violators, who had solicited, accepted and spent donations in illegal amounts and from prohibited business entities.
FORMAL VOTES: To reject both stipulations (as to 1) TUFF officers and illegal donors and 2) TUFF members. Made by De Leon, seconded by Al Murray (Anderson). In favor, De Leon, Murray, Spencer Pritchard (Worthington); Opposed, Jennifer Lombardi (Wengraf), O'Donnell, Smith; abstain, Costa.
To open an investigation: same vote.
To amend the stipulations to remove from each paragraph 29, which asserts that the Commission has found no evidence that respondents violated the ordinance intentionally. Made by O'Donnell, seconded by Costa. Unanimously in favor.
To accept the stipulations as amended. Made by O'Donnell, seconded by Costa. In favor, Lombardi, O'Donnell, Smith, Costa. Opposed: De Leon, Murray, Pritchard.

Innofil3D Premium ABS - Red
It has taken a while, but our new range of filaments is finally in stock.
After extensive testing, we have made a selection from the 7 best European filaments based on consistency, strength, extrusion, adhesion, colour, price, and offer.
We proudly present our latest addition, the premium filaments range by Innofil 3D.
High-quality Dutch filament that makes the most of every printing job, to be recommended for both consumers and business users.
Why choose Innofil 3D filament?
The filaments for 3D printers have experienced rapid developments in the past few years.
To improve the printing qualities of filament, it is not enough to just get plastic threads from PLA or ABS granulates.
Research is increasingly more important, in order to improve the mechanic properties, such as print quality and the strength of the filament. This makes a huge difference in quality when it comes to different brands.
Thanks to an extensive research and development department with own specialists, polychemists, and the best instruments, Innofil 3D gets ahead of the competition, with a better filament at an affordable price.
Good filament is half the battle
A 3D printer can be very good, but when it is used with bad filament, the results will be bad as well.
Filament is so important for the printing process, that a cheap printer of a few hundred Euros with premium quality filament will get a better result than a more expensive printer of thousands of Euros, with cheap filament.
Premium PLA filament at an affordable price
All Innofil 3D filaments have undergone extensive testing and get the highest certifications.
Check all the test results and certifications here:
Technical Data Sheet Innofil3D ABS
Material Safety Data Sheet Innofil3D ABS
How do we create our filament range?
Technical specifications are nice, but they are not everything.
We know from experience that there is only one method to be sure of the quality, which is test, test, and more tests.
Every material and even every colour (pigment also changes the printing properties of filament) are extensively tested by us, in our own printing room, on at least 10 different 3D printers
This process takes up many weeks, but it ensures that our customers get a high-quality filament at a fair price.
A direct connection to the manufacturer
3D Ninja does is not just a seller, we are also the Dutch distribution partner of many of our brands, including most filaments.
A benefit that allows us to work closely with the research department and laboratories.
This is a great advantage when working towards the best quality.
Which filaments do we offer:
Innofil3D: our premium range for PLA and ABS filaments
PrimaValue™: Our budget range for PLA and ABS filaments.
Refil: Our Premium filaments range for recycled PET filaments
Polymaker: Our premium filaments range for filament specials with extraordinary properties.
We also sell filaments for closed systems such as Zortrax, XYZ Printing and CEL robox.
These filaments can only be used for these brands.

(CMT Offstage keeps a 24/7 watch on everything that's happening with country music artists behind the scenes and out of the spotlight.)
At last week's All Access: Keith Urban day at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, Urban played teacher to about 200 students from Nashville public high schools. He talked about his early days of playing the ukulele at 4, the guitar at 6 and getting a gig at a nursing home at 7. And he took questions from the kids. Here are some of the standout quotes from his classroom, and a little news on his potential stint as an American Idol judge:
"I wasn't disciplined and didn't like to practice. I just didn't like the idea of lessons. I used to get on my little bike and disappear when it was time for the guitar teacher to come around."
"It's best to forget about rules when it comes to songwriting. As soon as someone says, 'Well, this is the way you do it,' someone will write a song that defies everything and breaks every rule and has pure expression in it. If you have a burst of inspiration, that's the best thing."
"If you're an artist, you're a visionary. You have a vision of what your art may be. No one may understand it yet, so you have to believe in yourself. But you also need people around you that you can trust and who will tell you the truth about what is good and what isn't."
"It was a lifelong dream of mine to move to Nashville to make records and tour. But I didn't know how difficult it would be. You think it's going to be very easy, but it wasn't. It took years of hard work to get a break at all."
"'Keith, you're really unique. That will be your biggest curse until it becomes your greatest blessing.' The second he [a Nashville record label executive] told me that, I knew it was what I needed to hear. From that one statement, I knew I had to stay with it."
"I would love to do it [American Idol], and hopefully that happens. I did get to do a similar role in Australia for The Voice, and I really enjoyed it. The thing about those shows is that mentoring aspect … it's about passing it on."

DuPont Pioneer Forage Inoculant Patent Upheld
DES MOINES, IOWA, USA, Nov. 6, 2012 - DuPont Pioneer recently prevailed in a major European patent challenge to its bacterial strain used in the Pioneer® brand inoculants portfolio. The decision in favor of Pioneer by the European Patent Office (EPO) means that the key bacterial strain designed to improve fiber digestibility for livestock is patent-protected and covers all Pioneer fiber technology as silage inoculants.
The Pioneer patent was challenged by Lactosan Starterkulturen GmbH & Co.KG, a subsidiary of H. Wilhelm Schaumann GmbH. The process included an oral hearing held at the EPO in Munich, Germany on Oct. 16 and concluded the patent of Lactobacillus buchneri by Pioneer was maintained.
"The strain of L. buchneri is a primary component of the major Pioneer fiber technology inoculants product lines and the patent was maintained without amendment," says Joe Lebeda, DuPont Pioneer director for global forages. "This means Pioneer customers will continue to benefit from this technology advancement to help deliver improved fiber digestibility of silage to their livestock."
The L. buchneri strain is the basis for Pioneer® brand silage additives 11CFT, 11GFT and 11AFT inoculants for corn silage, grass/cereal and alfalfa silage, respectively. The strain was discovered by Pioneer microbiologists and advanced through product testing to produce a specific enzyme during silage fermentation. The result is that these products deliver fermentation efficiency, improved aerobic stability and improved fiber digestibility.
"These combined benefits make the fiber technology product portfolio from Pioneer one of the most important technological advances in silage-making in the last several decades," says Lebeda.
DuPont Pioneer is the world's leading developer and supplier of advanced plant genetics, providing high-quality seeds to farmers in more than 90 countries. Pioneer provides agronomic support and services to help increase farmer productivity and profitability and strives to develop sustainable agricultural systems for people everywhere.

When I first got sent this Heal Gel I marvelled at it's cute retro look then sat there thinking…what do I have to heal?!
At the time…nothing.
Thanks to the cat though, who gave me a nice deep scratch when Mr C dropped some pans and scared the life out of her – I had somewhere to try the gel out! I also had a bit of a sore brow after waxing so used it on that.
So this product is basically a healing gel, which is calming and soothing.
Protects and rejuvenates the skin layers thereby helping in the natural healing process.
Effectively reduces the appearance and reddening of scars flattening, and making these more supple. Calming and soothing.
This product was created be 5 leading British Plastic surgeons, and a skin biochemist – so as you can imagine, this product was made with 'healing' scars in mind.
You can use this on any troublesome area, but not on broken skin. I could feel a slightly 'menthol'-y feel to it – it didn't sting or feel uncomfortable but it was there.
I used this on my scratch and it worked quite well in terms of making the redness go away. I scar very very very easily so it was good to know that it will disappear eventually.
The gel is a translucent solution:
When this did work miracles is on my brow, which was a little sore after a wax and I was worried it would scar.
I applied this twice a day for 3 days and it helped so much! The day after a sort of skin had formed over my brow, the next day it began to peel and by day 3 it had fallen off but the skin was red. On day four the redness had gone – phew!
I really like this product – I do feel that it works and I'll dig it out whenever I need some healing power!
for £33.50.
