Detailed measurements of a recirculating, droplet charged air flow within a model combustor are compared with predictions based on three different evaporation models. Similar results are obtained with the simplified d2-law, the uniform temperature model and thin skin model for relatively short droplet-heatup phases. Discrepancies, however, are observed under conditions where the droplet heating phase is relatively long, i.e. at low temperature conditions. Extended evaporation models, therefore, are necessary when the ignition performance is to be analysed.

The Virgin Post
At first, I felt like it was a fad. A self indulgent one at that. Not to mention, at the time, it seemed to be an unlikely media darling, a slick PR vehicle. Blogging was something that was a media tool, a further obligation to listen to someone else's opinion. Then I started to read friend's blogs, I was suddenly privvy to their inner thoughts and even just what they were doing across the world (while I sat in my apt and contemplated starting a blog). And so, I have finally taken the plunge and made the commitment. In order to get around exhibit A (the self indulgent part of the blog), I have decided to simply skip telling anyone about said blog. Why yell at the rain and not tell anyone about it? Would you ask a crowd of people to stand around if you were, in fact, yelling at the rain?

Apple's new iPhone X will go up for pre-order this Friday, the handset launches the following Friday the 3rd of November. It looks like Apple is giving member of the iPhone Upgrade Program a head start on the iPhone X.
From today members of Apple's iPhone upgrade service can get pre-approved for an iPhone Upgrade Program loan for the new iPhone X. In order to do this you need to download the Apple Store App to your iPhone or iPad.
Apple has said that once you are approved for the upgrade program then you will be able to checkout quicker for the new iPhone X this Friday the 27th of October. Apple are also offering a trade in kit this year that helps you to return you existing device as part of the program.
As we mentioned last week, demand for Apple's new flagship iPhone is expected to be considerably higher than supply. We heard that Apple may have around 2-3 million units of the new iPhone for launch weekend.
It looks like the new iPhone X may end up being in short supply for some time, this is something that usually happens when Apple launches a major update to their iPhone. The iPhone X is the first major update to Apple's smartphones in a few years.

LUFKIN- (KTRE) – October is breast cancer awareness month and a young softball team is helping raise awareness by wearing pick uniforms for the entire month. Pink is the color that signifies breast cancer supporter or awareness. Bad Attitude 00 an East Texas based softball team of ten and under girls is trying to help spread the word.
"Some of these children have lost loved ones to breast cancer itself, so there is a lot of personal stories here just as well as anything else and we know that through teaching kids at young ages to be aware of things like breast cancer and giving back to society," Brent Hawkins said a proud parent.
"I'm glad that we could start off with this age group and show the awareness with our community that softball is a sport and that the young girls are out showing their support," Cindy Pope said a proud mother.
The team may be called bad attitude across their chest, but in their hearts these girls know the key to help stop this deadly disease is to spread awareness.

War veteran Doan Kim Bang is at heart a man in pursuit of peace - a writer, artist, father, activist, community organizer, and resourceful entrepreneur.
In 1991, after years of war in Vietnam, 42-year-old Bang fled his country with his greatest treasures– his four children ranging in age from two-and-a-half to 17.
After fighting a grueling war against the Communist regime as a decorated 1st Lieutenant of the Tank Division, a prisoner of war for six years, and a recipient of the U.S. Bronze Star, leaving was the only option.
Upon arriving in the United States he focused on providing for his family. He cobbled together two and three jobs to make ends meet: working at a pharmaceutical factory, upcycling items for resale at the local flea markets, and taking photos for the local community.
Both noble and practical purposes inspired his idea to start a newspaper geared toward Portland's newly settled Vietnamese community. Few of his countrymen had access to news, whether from back home or about their lives here in the Northwest. With local Communist Party sympathizers attempting to undermine this new and fragile community, he also wanted to create a platform for free speech. It was less about money and more about offering a vibrant voice of truth, freedom, and hope.
Armed with grit and resourcefulness, he and his business partner, Trung Nguyen, launched the only Vietnamese-focused newspaper in Oregon in 2001, only one of three in in the Northwest. He says about the first few years, "I had no idea how to do it but was confident and had the guts to do it." He started by creating posters to be passed around the Vietnamese community announcing the new newspaper.
Initially he wrote his stories by plucking away with two fingers on a typewriter, cutting and pasting the text onto larger sheets to be sent to the local printer. The day of the first printing he and Nguyen were so excited, they went to the printer an hour early and sat eagerly to get it hot off the press. Bang later taught his computer-savvy youngest daughter the publishing program, a predecessor to Adobe InDesign, to generate the publication. Today, 17 years later, Doan Kim Bang is still creating meaningful content to encourage, engage, and empower his community.

IPhone 8 delayed: Possible reasons
Analysts say "iPhone 8" is facing technology issues, will it be a month late?
Every iPhone launch seems to be a big deal, but this iPhone 8 launch is the most talked about as it will be the 10th model of the iPhone. It will be the iPhone's 10th anniversary this year, and it is expected to have a big update. It is rumored that it will include a glass and stainless steel redesign with an OLED display. It is also expected to have facial recognition, updated 3D Touch, improved waterproofing, wireless charging and more.
Technology issues
Wamsi Mohan and Stefano Pascale who are analysts from Bank of America have released a report claiming that the iPhone 8 will be delayed due to technical issues.
The analysts now suggest the smartphone could be released in October which is one month later than the previously expected launch date. They are reportedly working on the facial recognition systems.
It has been rumored that Apple's upcoming iPhone models will feature some sort of wireless charging technology. But now, it is being said that the wireless feature will not be available at the time of launch. Rumor has it that Apple is running into some difficulties with its iPhone8.
Possible reasons for iPhone 8's delay
Several reports suggest that the iPhone will have OLED displays which will almost cover the entire front of the screen. This OLED technology may prove to be a very costly addition. The iPhone 8's OLED panel is rumored to be almost double that of iPhone 7's panel. This might be one of the reasons for its delay.
The company is confused regarding whether to keep the fingerprint sensor or not. Rumor has it that iPhone 8 will have a fingerprint scanner underneath the screen.
Apple is supposedly struggling with this feature. This might cause a delay in the production of the sets.
Apple is also reportedly testing a 3D face scanner for the iPhone 8. According to a recent Bloomberg report, the scanner uses a new chip. However, the company is still not sure about the reliability of the facial technology in authentication. The scanner is designed to read your face even when the smartphone is kept on a flat surface.
Apple engineers are busy working on eliminating some software glitches according to a report by Fast Company. Problems with the display, 3D sensor, and Touch ID may all lead to supply issues.They are adding wireless charging supposedly. According to a report by Fast Company, implementing wireless technology may be tricky and can cause delay.
They are possibly adding wireless charging to the package. According to a report by Fast Company, implementing wireless technology may be tricky and could cause a delay.

How to fit a radio-station in a cardboard box
What ideas does the community itself have about how to benefit from simple access to their own highly localized radio infrastructure?
Frugal Digital has conducted in depth research into these questions with a small scale local farming community in the outskirts of Cape Town, South Africa.
The farmers told us that almost all of the 300 members in their community has access to radio through their cellphones or cheap transistor radios.
We received much feedback from testing with a group of farmers assembled to do test broadcasts using the setup of a short range radio transmitter (about 1km radius) connected to a cellphone and a battery.
Interesting suggestions came about while the farmers experimented with the different elements of the prototype setup – once they had got a feeling of it they agreed on some general points of improvement:
Making a broadcast should be simple and easy for anyone – also for someone who was never introduced to it before.
The wires not needed to control the broadcast should be hidden – it should feel more like a product.
It should be easy for the broadcaster to confirm what is being broadcast.
It should be equally easy to broadcast an incoming phone call as to broadcast a conversation between people present in the same room.
After being introduced to the improved prototype setup the farmers were quick to start discussing the different ways a community could benefit from having their own radio broadcast.
The community were very postitive that they could directly influence what information was being shared on air – and when.
They also told us it was a big difference to the existing community radio, currently covering larger areas, because the information often becomes too general to really feel relevant to people in their specific community.
Many different ideas emerged from the testing on how a radio broadcast could be relevant to the community.
Some of them included to keep the community updated by broadcasting "on-air announcements" or "news feeds", at a certain time and given frequency.
Other ideas involved leaving the radio open for the community to call in and update each other from anywhere – "on air tweets" in analogy of online tweets.
Through further discussions an interesting question came up:
Would it really be necessary for everybody to have smartphones and internet, being literate and skilled with complicated interfaces to participate in online community – if you can have on-air community just using your old cellphone and own voice?
Could this offer a new perspective on the notion of "airtime" for your phone…?
Including and building on some of the inputs from the farmers the concept LoVoCo Mobile was developed locally in Cape Town in collaboration with a group of radio producers at Worker's World Media Production, who are currently continuing the field testing of a working prototype with different communities.

still on a bread making kick. have made a number of really delicious loaves from Emmanuel Hadjiandreou's How to Make Bread. White, olive, pizza crust, an adaptation of a nut/fruit loaf. Today I made challah and the hardest part was the braiding.
Challah is the Jewish Sabbath bread and it can be made in a simple spiral shape or braided. According to Jewish tradition, the three Sabbath meals (Friday night, Saturday lunch, and Saturday late afternoon) and two holiday meals (one at night and lunch the following day) each begin with two complete loaves of bread. This "double loaf" commemorates the manna that fell from the heavens when the Israelites wandered in the desert for forty years after the Exodus from Egypt. The manna did not fall on Sabbath or holidays; instead, a double portion would fall the day before the holiday or sabbath. Each single loaf is woven with six strands. Together, both loaves have twelve which represent each tribe of Israel.
My 1 small loaf only had 4 strands and was consumed on Sunday afternoon–proving that, while steeped in tradition and symbolism, Challah is for everyone. And with the following recipe, anyone can make a beautiful loaf.
Ingredients, makes one small loaf
250g or 2 cups white flour
4g or 3/4 teaspoon salt
15g or 1 tablespoon sugar
3g or 1 teaspoon dried/active dry yeast
80g or 1/3 cup warm water
1 medium/large egg yolk
1 whole medium/large egg
20g or 1 generous tablespoon oil (called for sunflower oil, i used canola)
1 egg, beaten with a pick of salt, for the egg wash
poppy or sesame seeds
1. in one smaller bowl, mix flour, salt and sugar. this is the dry mixture.
2. in a larger bowl, mix yeast and water. stir with wooden spoon until yeast is dissolved.
3. lightly beat whole egg and yolk together. add it to yeast/water. this is the wet mixture.
4. add the dry mixture to the wet mixture. stir with wooden spoon and then mix in the oil until well combined.
5. cover and let stand for 10 minutes.
6. now for kneading. leaving the dough in the bowl, pull a portion of it up from the side and press it into the middle. turn the bowl slightly and repeat this process with another portion of the dough. repeat this 8 times. the whole process should only take about 10 seconds and the dough should start to resist.
7. let the dough rest for another 10 minutes.
8. repeat steps 6 and 7, two more times.
9. Cover the bowl and let rest for 1 hour (I let mine rest for 2 hours because took my dog Lilly for a walk).
10. When the dough has doubled in volume, punch it down with your fist to release the air.
11. lightly dust work surface (i just put down a piece of parchment paper) with flour. remove ball of dough from the bowl and place it on the floured surface.
12. at this point i cut my dough into 4 equal pieces. i found a really easy braiding guide online but basically, you pinch all 4 strand together at one end. starting with the strand at the far right, go over, under, over the remaining strands. do this, always starting with the strand on the far right, until the strands are completely braided. pinch the ends together and fold under the loaf.
13. brush it all over with the egg wash and sprinkle with seeds.
14. cover and let rise until less than double the size, about 30-45 minutes.
15. about 20 mins into the rise i started to preheat my stove to 475 degrees. place a roasting pan at the bottom of the oven to preheat. fill a cup with water and set aside.
16. place the challah in the preheated oven (i used a pizza stone to cook the bread on), pour the reserved water into the hot roasting pan (to create the steam needed to make the perfect crust) and lower the oven temperature to 400 degrees.
17. bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
this loaf has a beautiful texture with just a hint of sweetness. it could be enjoyed with savory or sweet food. or like we enjoyed it tonight, all by itself, straight from the oven.

I suppose I am just an ordinary person with a love of life and everything in it. It would be easier to say what I don't like.
- I don't like violence
- I don't like cruelty to humans, animals, plants or anything else on this earth.
- I don't like negativity
- I don't like coriander
I suppose that is it, unless I remember anything else, then I shall add it.
My other blog is: www.randomrose.wordpress.com
This blog will be filled with photos, writings and ramblings. Please enjoy.

this point about social and parental pressure is really important:
I say this as someone who married late, and since I wouldn't want to have married anyone except my husband, I'm glad I waited. But as a general rule, you should err on the side of marrying early. By which I mean not that you should marry whoever happens to be around when you turn 22, but that you should be willing to recognize, at the age of 22, that you've found someone you want to marry. Right now, most Princeton students don't think that way. They think there's something weird about committing at 22. And if they try to commit, their friends and parents will warn them off.

The Indian remake of 24 (and mind you it was an official remake and not a plagiarised one, which we are so used to) recently ended it's run of 12 weeks. For once, this was a series that I watched fully – be it recorded or on TV but bottom line is I followed it and I didn't sleep during any of the episode. Knowing me, a sleepy head who has slept in every possible movie, this is a huge huge achievement. The first few weeks were very taut and would really hold the audience spell-bound. After that it began to slacken a bit and far too many plots and subplots began surfacing. The star cast was impressive with Anil Kapoor in the lead role (despite being 57). No points for guessing who is the producer of the series:-) But Anil Kapoor enacted his role with aplomb. His wife Tisca Chopra's character was vague. She was estranged and yet got together. Never understood the nuances of their relationship. Their daughter's role was dumb or maybe the actress was or both. I never fathomed her stupidity especially going after that guy when she was being rescued. On another note, whatever happened to that guy ….? Orphan links in the story? All in all, Anil Kapoor's family was shown as dim-witted. Mandira Bedi (Nikita on-screen) was the sole glam element in the otherwise un-glamourous ATU!! Anupam Kher in a brief appearance was good but Shabana Azmi was superb in her bitchy role. The PM candidate, Aditya played by Neil Bhoopalam has a good character much against what reality is unless you look at the new CM of Delhi 🙂 (But well only time will tell how he is) Anita Raj, (seen her after ages) as Aditya's scheming Mom was always conniving with someone or the other for political gains. The list goes on but after about 8 weeks ie 16 episodes you just had to get to the end of it. It was far-fetched and then came the ending which was a complete wash out. Honestly, they lost the plot completely in the last episode and it was a disaster.
But well give the devil his due…. Anil Kapoor did make an honest attempt at recreating or rather Indianising the original. Season 2 I believe is coming up and I do hope they learn from their mistakes of Season 1. Will have to record all episodes and watch at a go like I watch some of the American series.

- Admit it, you're sick and tired of hearing the term e-business. And so am I. There has not been a more overhyped and underdefined term in a very long time. But I suspect we'll hear the term for some time to come. It will take several more years to actually implement the business and technical strategies needed to truly become e-businesses.
In fact, a recent Gartner Group report suggests that we will be performing e-business activities as a discrete set of management strategies and technical tasks until sometime between 2006 and 2008. At that time e-business will become just "business."
Today the primary focus of companies is in making the transition to e-businesses. To make this transition, companies are adding web initiatives onto regular operational practices, integrating the web into current processes, or spinning off new and separate web-related businesses. All of these actions are fine, but each is far too tactical.
A company becomes a true e-business only when its business processes and model become fully integrated with internet technologies. Although the technical underpinnings needed to make that integration are straightforward, it will take longer to address the people and process issues.
Companies need to reinvent business processes and workflows with the internet in mind, and people need to learn how to adapt to these newly formed ways of conducting business. This will take time.
At the heart of the matter, business models need an overhaul. We have spent the last few years focusing on efficiency to give us competitive advantage and cost savings. This has led to the current wave of outsourcing, among other trends.
We now need to focus our business strategies externally, with our customers in mind. Instead of looking for efficiency gains, we need to seek monetary value while maximizing our business models and processes. In short, we need to clearly focus on increasing the value we bring to our customers.
To arrive in true e-business territory, we need to adopt strategies that allow us to dynamically reform processes and revenue streams. We need to examine the value of every business decision we make.
Organisational structures need to be less rigid, and we need to eliminate obstacles that prevent rapid change in our companies. The information we rely on needs to be 100% available, regardless of time and space. Additionally, we need to think of our infrastructures on a more logical basis than physical location.
The road beyond e-business takes us to a full implementation of the virtual enterprise. We'll need to choose carefully which business functions we retain, which we outsource, and which we "partner-source."
We need to retain business functions that provide a business advantage and those that involve intellectual capital. An outsourcer is appropriate when it has the capacity to perform a particular function with greater efficiency.
Look for partner-sourced arrangements when you need a combination of outsourcing and collaboration to bring greater value to your company. In a typical outsource deal, you move control of the business function to the outside provider in a hands-off manner. Partner-sourcing also moves the business function outside, but ongoing collaboration between you and your partner provides greater value.
There are four strategies you should consider when positioning a company as an e-business: You should focus on highly effective operations, leading the market with your products and services, close ties to your customers, and promotion of your brand.
You'll likely be more successful if you make one of these your primary concern while factoring in the others.
If you lead a traditional company on the e-business route, you need to apply separate strategies to online and offline operations. These strategies may intersect at various points along the way, but they should be distinct. Other obvious success factors include proper marketing and technical choices, again with separate online and offline strategies.
But the truly difficult part of becoming a real e-business is the people. Reorienting your organisation for dynamic change and being willing to adopt such constructs may be difficult. But companies that take the time to reinvent business processes and business models while educating themselves and their staff will achieve e-business success. For them, e-business will become "business."

This post about our new carpenter is late coming for a couple of reasons…
1) we have been busy, and I mean crazy busy! I have been coaching volleyball, something I have loved doing for 15 years. I am going to be giving it up after this year though as it has been extremely hard on our family with the business. While I will miss it I know it is the right decision. We had a show recently and that always causes us to be busy. A good problem to have.
2) I wanted to wait to write this post until we were 100% sure we had the right person on the bus! And we do!
Read on to find out more about Sam – our new carpenter!
Letting Go
In January of 2016 (the start of our third year of business) we decided we needed help with our gate orders. I called my good friend and old college roommate, Scott. Scott is a trim carpenter and loves to do builds. Scott said he would be happy to help with our gate orders and our furniture builds. It was a blessing having someone else on our team. We didn't have enough work to keep Scott employed full time so he kept working as a contracted trim carpenter as well. In late November of 2016 Scott let us know that he was having a hard time keeping up with the demands of housing builds as well as our gate orders. We totally understood his decision to go where there was full time money in the housing industry. The great thing is that Scott is our friend so we still get to see him.
Muddling Through
December was a very busy month for us with our normal amount of scheduled gate orders but then compounded with an unexpected amount of Christmas orders. We were slammed and went into survival mode. We made it out alive and even hosted Christmas at our house.
Finding a Carpenter
In early January of 2017 we put out a job search ad. We received several applications and interviewed 3 applicants. The first interview was Sam. We met at a coffee shop where we had reserved a conference room. His portfolio was great, his personality was very easy going, and he carried himself with confidence. I could have hired him on the spot but we wanted to honor our other interviews. One of the other interviews went fine and one the gentleman showed up drunk. Wow, that was an interesting experience for me. Cody was a huge help as he has been a manager for years and has had to hire and fire employees over his career. Interviewing others was a very new experience for me. Cody did an amazing job of navigating the interview with the drunk applicant politely and shutting down the interview quickly. So thankful he was there! The crazy stories we have from only 3.5 years of business amazes me. Not what I thought when we started our business but it has been a great journey so far!
Getting to Know Sam
Sam's Work
If you went to our last show you saw some of Sam's work at the show. Check out this table and benches with hairpin legs. LOVE!
And this table is a project he is working on now for us… I can't wait to show you the final staged pictures! Our customer hasn't even seen this photo yet! Shhh….
Much, much more to come! We will have both large and small pieces at our next show that are done by Sam. You won't want to miss coming out to Vintage Whites Market on March 31 & April 1!
See you soon!

Out of laziness and expedience, I handle almost all of my money management passively. All bills that stay constant month-to-month are on auto-pay, and investments are either on payroll deduction or auto-drafted on a weekly basis. To avoid accidental overdrafts, I keep my checking balance very high, and my cashflows are generally positive. As a result of this setup, I can go for a fairly long time without looking at my bank accounts.
A side effect of this passive approach is that a lot of cash accumulates in my checking account when I'm not paying attention. Every once in a while, I'll pop in and transfer a few grand out into savings and/or bump up my investments, but those actions weren't aggressive enough to prevent my cash holdings from topping $75K in recent months.
I know that $75K is too much to hold in cash. Following the standard advice of keeping 6 to 12 months of expenses in liquid assets, I should only be holding around $15K (+/- $5K). After my car purchase in 2012, which was my biggest anticipated expense, there's been no need to hold additional cash on hand.
So if I'm committed to holding no more than $15K in cash, where should I put the remaining $60K? The lowest hanging fruit by far was to pay off my student loans, so I did that. Boom, that took care of $7K, and Sallie Mae is out of my hair for good. But that still leaves $50K or so that still needs a good home.
One obvious option is to sink it all into equities, and that is a reasonable suggestion, given my long timelines and high(ish) risk tolerance. But I'm hesitating on taking this course of action for a few reasons. The first is that I don't feel like I'm underexposed to stocks. In my (half-hearted) attempts to drain my checking balance, I've already increased my automatic investments to $400 per week, to the point where my cashflow is now pushed into the negative. (I should be fine after my year-end bonus/raise, though.) Combine that with my maxed out 401(k) and IRA contributions, and I'm sitting at $43,800 worth of stock purchases per year. That's half of my base (gross!) salary, so I can hardly be accused of not investing enough.
A slightly more tangible objection to the lump sum stock investment idea is that I am in the process of researching and planning what to do with all of my stock options. I'm looking into this because I've already vested into quite a large number of shares, but action is not necessarily imminent because I've still got a few more years to go in terms of vesting into the rest. However, if I'm interested in a buy-and-hold cash exercise, I will need a considerable amount of cash up front (tens of thousands, easily). I'm concerned that if I tie up all my money in equities right now, I may not be able to pull it out in the next few years if I wanted to do a cash exercise. But the time horizon is still long enough that it seems a shame to not invest at all.
So I've decided to compromise. I bought some bonds instead! Specifically, I got the Vanguard Intermediate-Term Investment-Grade Fund Admiral Sha..., which (coincidentally!) has a minimum balance of $50K. This fund holds, according to its description, "diversified exposure to medium- and high-quality investment-grade bonds with an average maturity of five to ten years" by investing in "corporate bonds, pooled consumer loans, and U.S. government bonds within that maturity range". That seems consistent with both my time scale and risk tolerance. I do understand how bond prices work in conjunction with today's insanely low interest rates, but bonds are designed to provide steady income and returns, and it's got to beat the return on my savings account.
In conclusion: I've successfully ditched my cash! I am not buying more stock, but I am still investing. I suspect I'm be done with direct bond purchases for the time being, and may even allocate any returns back towards equities, but at least I don't have $50K burning a hole in my pocket any more.
Bon(d) voyage!

October 1st, 2014 at 07:38 amWhat a good problem to have!
October 1st, 2014 at 09:04 amIt's a lousy time for fixed income investments, and bank savings rates are abysmal. Still, if you have considerable cash on hand, it's a good idea to make the effort to investigate how to make your money work for you.
The bonds you bought sound like a great choice. I did recently buy about $18,000 worth of State Farm Bank 5-year CDs and at least I'm earning 2.15% as opposed to the .60% or so that I was getting from my Vanguard money market fund.
I won't dump anymore in the CDs as I'm pretty sure the Fed will finally let interest rates rise again so retired folks and others can enjoy some earnings too.
$15K still seems like an awful lot to hold in a no-interest checking account. I have about $7K currently in mine, and I feel that's too high. But i guess you have to consider your monthly inflows/outflows.
October 1st, 2014 at 11:12 amYeah, I didn't even consider CDs this time around. I didn't want my money tied up. I might've thought about it if the rate were better than my mortgage, but 2.15% doesn't cut it.
I don't have $15K in my checking account (anymore!). Checking is down to under $4K (for now, heh; we'll see how long that lasts). The rest of the emergency fund (~$14K) is parked in a Vanguard Money Market Fund -- not that this is any better than checking/savings.
Do I need that much liquidity? Probably not. None of our emergencies ever cost more than a few grand. But to give you an idea of what I'm up against, the SO is holding more than $60K of his own in savings, so my dropping down to $15K nearly gave him a heart attack. I'm hoping that once he sees the sky's not falling, he'll follow suit and stop holding so much cash as well.
But in the meantime� If the furnace blows up in the dead of winter, the roof collapses, the cat needs a kidney transplant, AND there's a zombie apocalypse, all in the same week, we'll be ready!!

The reason I'm hooked these days on Iowa is that Karol DeWulf Nickell came to town.
Ms. DeWulf Nickell is the editor of a 6-year-old Meredith mag called Traditional Home that comes out six times a year and in the fiercely competitive category of shelter books is doing nicely, thank you, with first half ad pages 15% ahead of the period last year. It's also going up in trim size effective October/November (on sale Sept. 10) and with heavier, glossier 130-pound cover stock, increasing its sub price and doing other stuff successful magazines get away with and others don't even try.
Her trip to New York was why I found myself with Karol and Publisher Deborah Jones Barrow having lunch in the Grill Room of the Four Seasons on a steamy July day, knocking back the old Cote du Rhone and watching Philip Johnson perched at his usual corner table, enjoying being 90. And since I like to show off New York to out-of-towners and brag a little, I was delighted when Ed Koch came in with some people and sat right next to us and then Tina Brown arrived and took the banquette on the other side.
Was Ms. DeWulf Nickell impressed? Well, I guess. Except then she started telling me about her trip in May of last year to England to visit the Prince of Wales and be shown around his gardens.
So much for Mayor Koch, Tina Brown and even birthday-boy Philip Johnson!
It turns out that Karol met Prince Charles when she was attending a lecture he gave with master gardener Rosemary Verey. It was then Karol got caught up in Charles' remarks about Highgrove, his thousand-acre estate near Tetbury in Gloucestershire, "his obsessive collecting of huge garden pots," and how one time a shipment of pots from Turkey arrived for the prince care of the local pub, apparently the only Gloucestershire address the poor Turks had!
When they met at a reception following, Karol told Charles that she was a magazine editor and when he started asking questions about Traditional Home (I'm not making this up; Karol swears it happened), the prince said, "Would you like to come and see Highgrove? How about in May? The gardens are lovely then."
Compared to this, what does Ed Koch know about gardening? So off went Editor DeWulf and the resulting cover story ran in the March issue of this year with glorious photos (there's even a wonderful tree house, in an old holly tree, that was constructed for Princes William and Harry) as well as text by the prince himself, and jolly well done! at that.
As for her magazine, she and Ms. Jones Barrow (does everyone in Iowa have a double-barreled name except for Waxy and Nile Kinnick?) tell me circulation is pushing 800,000, larger than Architectural Digest or Metropolitan Home and much bigger than Elle Decor, with the biggest single copy sales record in the category. Plus what they say are "the most affluent primary women readers of any women's magazine measured by MRI."
And they're not at all affrighted by the born-again House & Garden or by the centennial promotions of House Beautiful. Or by anyone else, for that matter, even the formidable Paige Rense.
As Karol and Deborah say, suburbia is their garden. And like Voltaire, they're keeping it cultivated.

It shows that they have given up hope for the Labour Government and have therefore decided to sacrifice the future financial prosperity of this country. Their actions can onyl make things so much worse for an incoming Conservative government: the cuts that will have to be made will be painful indeed.
There are the cuts that are so obvious and simply must be made: ID cards, cutting down and time-limiting benefits, cutting quangoes and agencies, moving the public sector to the same pensions system as the private sector. But there are going to need to hard cuts for a Tory Government to make; for example, we cannot spend billions on a replacement for Trident in the current situation.

Baby Steps
A school in Maine, US, is to make birth control pills available to middle school children as young as 11 through its health centre. According to an Associated Press (AP) report, the decision was made in a school committee meeting earlier this week following a request from the school's health centre to make the pills available to children of high school age who were still attending middle school.
------ The above maneuver is disturbing in more ways than I can articulate. The least of which is the continuance of the who needs responsible parenting mentality – let the State be mom and dad, the sheeple follow.
But, I ask - if the State sanctions an 11 y/o girl as old enough to consent to sexual activity, and the State sanctions the 11 y/o girl is old enough to request and receive birth control - how long before the State sanctions the 11 y/o girl has the right to choose 40 y/o Chester as her lover?
And if 11 is old enough to choose, why not 10 or 9? Wasn't it immediately and widely reported that the Nevada toddler raped/taped by Chester Stiles is today a normal, healthy 7 y/o with no problems, who never displayed any behavior change to alert her mother? I can see a future where lawyers give new meaning to "no harm, no foul" - no problem when no harm or damage is done.
Pedophiles rejoice – the State has taken the first step to put you on the road to becoming simply a lifestyle, a "preference," and eventually – it's nature, in the genes.

Essay on Technology Today
Today's technology gives people the opportunity to learn more about what is going on in today's news. Radio, computer, newspapers and television are becoming more advanced, which helps informs people on a daily basis. It is very important to know what is going on in our world. Children should start getting more involved with learning about what's going, and they should start learning in the classroom.
It has been said that reading national newspapers enables students to connect with a source of national power. During this time, our world is going through a lot of change, especially since 9/11. There is more news converge on the this particular topic being aired every day. Children should understand what is …show more content…
Origins of our newspaper can be traced back tot the Urbana Union, first published in 1852. The modern News-Gazette was established in 1919, when David W. Stevik, owner of the Champaign Daily News, purchased the Champaign Daily Gazette, combining the two papers into one complete paper. In 1997 technology advances made it possible for improved print and color reproduction. The news-gazette was a stepping stone towards modern day newspapers.
"Being well informed enough to succeed in business, to vote to judge America's place in the world, and to influence life means being armed with information." (John N Gardner and Betty Sullivan). The newspaper's role in the institution in the education of individual citizens living together under a single unified government has been noted in historical studies. The newspaper has been used in the classroom for more then two centuries. Not only are the students learning what's going on in the world, but they are also increasing their vocabulary and reading level.

Can tell some things have got into my subconscious. Lots of dreams lately. This morning I woke up after a disturbing dream. It was of seeing a man who had been shot, seeing flashing red lights and then hearing a machine gun just firing over and over without ceasing. It was like someone was trying to make sure whoever the shot man was would stay dead. Kyle has been watching an anime that is pretty violent without me, it may have crept into my dreams.
This was interesting to me. I didn't know about some of the things in this article and they are disturbing. I recommend reading the entire article.
http://greennews.ie/opinion-oil-drilling-last-thing-people-cork-need/ – Barryroe oil drilling the last thing the people of Cork need
Excerpt of information I didn't know about the damage seismic exploration for offshore drilling does to marine life:
Do the benefits outweigh the risks? Concerns have been raised surrounding the impact of offshore drilling on the fishing community. A spill could severely damage fishing stocks, an industry which provides strong employment and profit to Ireland.
Even seismic exploration, carried out before drilling, is hugely damaging. Seismic exploration can cause disorientation and internal bleeding in whales, dolphins and porpoises for distances of up to 100 miles.
More significant than this is new evidence from leading science journal Nature that shows a single exploratory blast kills 100 per cent of zooplankton larvae and 64 per cent of adult krill within at least 0.7 miles. These organisms are the basis of the marine food chain and without them there are no fish to catch.
In addition to this, however damaging drilling may be to the marine environment, oil spills are even worse. Excavating oil wells releases toxic chemicals such benzene, arsenic, radioactive pollutants, and metals such as mercury and lead that can accumulate in our seafood supply.
The Irish seafood Industry provides 11,000 jobs and the tourism industry employs 220,000 people, so let's not forget what is at stake here. After the 2010 BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, the Gulf coastal tourism industry lost about $22.7 billion, and the area's commercial fishing industry lost $247 million.
