Microsofts Prototype of Next Generation Office Wall
Microsoft shows off prototype next-generation office wall
Say what you might about their products on the market, but when it comes to flashy prototypes and revolutionary concepts, Microsoft is indisputably a clear leader in the industry.
The latest of these perpetually next-generation prototypes out of Microsoft Research to be shown to the public is an integrated home office environment that combines the wonders of interactive wall displays, a Microsoft Surface and a digital assistant, albeit with a creepy voice and unsettling-long response time.
This particular demo presented by Yusuf Mehdi, Senior Vice President of Microsoft's Online Audience Business, to the crowd at the Interactive Advertising Bureau MIXX 2009 conference assumes the scenario of an architect designing a pond, as I'm sure they do and spend as much effort in. The architect uses this computer to plan, simulate and collaborate with others in designing the pond.

This post is about questions I've heard recently:
How do you make your training plan?
Training is all about scheduling and staying motivated. I'm creative in training plans, but I usually like to check out a few "I know this works" training plan websites to be sure I'm on the right track. I do a little web surfing and mesh the plans into one big schedule. It's a pretty hectic schedule, with a full time 8-5 job, twin boys that have the energy levels of little Energizer Bunnies, my husband's training plan (Aaron - a teacher and track coach with his schedule full of practices and meets), all while making sure to fit in family dinners and plenty of play time.
What mileage are you at?
Brooke and Kouba came up with our long run schedule back in January. We were sure to hover around 18-20 miles for a while for all those "just in case" weekends when we have sick kids, vacations, or unwilling legs.
Long Run Schedule:
Jan – March: built up to 14 miles
March 28: 16
April 11: 18
April 25: 20
May 9: 20
May 23: 22
June 6: 24
June 20: 26
June 27: Olympic distance triathlon (Brooke and Kouba are running a half marathon)
July 10: 50K
How do you fit it all in?
Weekly Schedule:
Sunday: Long trail run - 8am
Monday: Recovery spinning class - 5:30am
Tuesday: 50-70 min run – 6pm
Wednesday: Group Power class – 5:45 am + 20-30 minutes of cardio
Thursday: Off –or- 30-50 min run – 6pm
Friday: Off – or- swim – 8:30pm (yes, it makes for very exciting Friday nights)
Saturday: Group Power or Centergy (Pilates + Yoga) class – 10:15am – or long bike ride – or evening swim at 7pm
I'm also a sub for spinning classes at Superior Athletic Club. This week – I teach twice, three times next week, and once on April 5. I try not to alter my schedule when I'm subbing, I look at it as added cardio time.
Do you ever get burned out?
There are many times where I'd rather put my feet up and take a nap. My workout time is me time. I remind myself of how I feel after the first five minutes of getting warmed up. How great it clear my mind of work, crying children, and open my eyes and look at the beautiful valley I live in. That usually is enough to get me out the door.
I know it really helps me to see my plan in writing. Feel free to share any training plans you may have – for any race. I love seeing how other people train for things and any tips on how to fit things in!
Hi Dave! Thanks for the great advice. I'm hoping to start upping my evening runs to more of 90 minutes plus in the next week or two. I call the training my LSD days. Long-Slow-Distance. I think you are exactly right about keeping in tune with your body and making sure your heart rate doesn't spike too high. .... although it is very hard and time consuming. It will all pay off in the end! Great option for the long bike rides too.
I have always trained for events that are two hours or less (bike, run, tri), so I went into research mode to prepare for the SOB 50k. I spoke to mentors, found articles in Trailrunner, read a couple of old cycling books, and tallied up the info in my head. I decided to retrain my body to be an efficient fat burner! The old school method of long slow distance applies to this method. The lesson I learned is: if I keep my heart rate low (a little different number for everybody depending on age and current fitness level) and train for longer periods, then increased fat burning will develop. I delved into the science and that calls for more time, but very interesting. So, I have been doing very slow workouts that are over two hours long. I have been alternating with my road bike, because the runs were longer than I have ever ran. I can only do two of these runs per week, but I will continue to extend the duration. It takes a lot of patience, I sometimes have to walk hills to keep my heart rate low enough. Thanks for your info, please tell Aaron "hello", and hugs all around!

ESPN.com (Marc Stein) reports: Dallas Mavericks forward Dirk Nowitzki has received a one-game suspension for striking Utah's Matt Harpring in the face with a backhanded swipe Friday night. The league announced the suspension three hours before the Mavericks' 12:30 p.m. PT Sunday tipoff against the Los Angeles Clippers at the Staples Center. The Mavericks were not informed of Nowitzki's enforced absence until Sunday morning. The league office began reviewing Nowitzki's flagrant foul/penalty 2 on Harpring on Saturday. The foul resulted in Nowitzki's ejection early in the fourth quarter of Dallas' 97-88 defeat on Friday night… Nowitzki was ejected for swinging his arm in response to under-the-basket contact from Harpring. Video replays confirmed that although it was a backhanded swipe, Nowitzki made a closed-fist connection with Harpring's face on his follow-through.

Clippers sign Fred JonesAuthor: Inside Hoops
Dec 28
The Los Angeles Clippers today signed free agent guard Fred Jones. Per team policy, terms of the deal were not released.
A six-year NBA veteran, Jones played 70 games with the Knicks last season, averaging 7.6 points, 2.4 rebounds and 2.4 assists in 25.1 minutes. The Clippers will be the fifth NBA team for Jones, who has appeared in 378 total games and is averaging 7.5 points, 2.2 rebounds and 2.1 assists in his NBA career.
A star at the University of Oregon, Jones helped lead the Ducks to the Elite Eight of the 2002 NCAA Tournament and was drafted by the Indiana Pacers with the 14th selection of the 2002 NBA Draft. Jones played four seasons with Indiana, winning the 2004 NBA Slam Dunk Contest as a Pacer before signing with the Raptors prior to the 2006-07 season.
Jones joined Portland midway through the 2006-07 season in a trade, teaming up with current Clipper Zach Randolph and then going to New York along with Randolph in a five-player deal on June 28, 2007.
Fatigue hits CelticsAuthor: Inside Hoops
Dec 28
The Boston Celtics have dropped two games lately, which isn't a huge deal, but by their high standards is two losses too many. The Boston Globe (Marc J. Spears) reports: So, what's wrong with the Celtics now after so much went right? Fatigue is a factor. Entering last night, Boston was the only Eastern Conference team to have played more than 30 games. Center Kendrick Perkins sprained his surgically repaired left shoulder in the first quarter against the Lakers and missed his first game of the season against Golden State. Although the games against the Lakers and Warriors were day-night, back to back, with a short plane ride from Los Angeles to San Francisco, Rivers believes it took its toll on his players, so he gave them yesterday off. "I would have rather had the day off [Friday]," Rivers said. "[The Lakers game] was a hard-fought, emotional game. We didn't play very well. But it was still hard-fought. It was one of those rare games during the regular season where guys have a lot of emotions invested into the game. I would have much rather had a day off.
Dec 27: Blazers 102, Raptors 89Author: Inside Hoops
Dec 28
The AP reports: This time, Brandon Roy and the Portland Trail Blazers didn't need any late-game heroics to beat the Toronto Raptors.

Chris Bosh had 29 points and nine rebounds for Toronto, which had a two-game winning streak stopped. Jermaine O'Neal scored 17 points, Andrea Bargnani added 13, and Jose Calderon had 11 points and eight assists.
Dec 27: Pistons 87, Bucks 76Author: Inside Hoops
Dec 28
The AP reports: With Richard Hamilton sidelined, the Detroit Pistons abandoned their three-guard lineup and used a bigger starting unit that stifled the Milwaukee Bucks. Tayshaun Prince scored nine of his 19 points in the decisive third quarter and Allen Iverson added 18, lifting the Pistons to an 87-76 victory Saturday night. The Bucks had won three consecutive games, averaging 106 points during the streak. The Pistons, starting 6-foot-9 Amir Johnson in place of Hamilton, a slim 6-7 guard, held Milwaukee to 30 percent shooting… Johnson had eight points, 11 rebounds and four blocked shots, giving the Pistons a different defensive look from their usual lineup that consists of 6-11 Rasheed Wallace as their only big starter… Andrew Bogut had 17 points and 10 rebounds for Milwaukee, which mainly rested its starters for the final 15 minutes after the game was decided. Michael Redd, the Bucks' leading scorer, had four points and missed nine of 11 shots, including his last five.
Dec 27: Spurs 106, Grizzlies 103, 2OTAuthor: Inside Hoops

Rashard Lewis added 24 points, Nelson 20 and Dwight Howard 17 for the Magic, who won their seventh straight and 11th in 12 games—all against the Western Conference. The last time Orlando won seven straight was March 31-April 15, 2006, when the team won eight in a row… Rashad McCants scored 21 points for Minnesota, which ended a 13-game losing streak Friday in New York. Al Jefferson had 16 points and Ryan Gomes 14 for the Timberwolves, who have lost nine straight at home.
Dec 27: Hawks 129, Bulls 117Author: Inside Hoops
Dec 28
The AP reports: After holding 14 of their last 15 opponents under 100 points, the Atlanta Hawks expected a low-scoring game against Chicago. When that plan failed, the Hawks seemed to enjoy a rare opportunity to change their style. Joe Johnson scored a season-high 41 points, Josh Smith also set a season high with 24, and the Hawks withstood Ben Gordon's 3-point barrage to beat the Bulls 129-117 on Saturday night. The Bulls lost despite shooting 54.4 percent from the field and matching their scoring high for the season only one night after a 90-77 loss at Miami… Ben Gordon scored 33 points and was 6-of-8 behind the arc to pass Scottie Pippen and become the Bulls' career leader in 3-pointers. Rookie Derrick Rose added a career-high 27 points.
Dec 27: Wizards 104, Thunder 95Author: Inside Hoops
Dec 28
The AP reports: The Washington Wizards didn't care that they beat a team with only three wins. They were just happy they won at all. The Wizards beat the Oklahoma City Thunder 104-95 on Saturday night in a matchup of teams with the two worst records in the NBA. They broke an eight-game losing streak, their longest since 2001, with just their fifth win against 23 losses. Oklahoma City fell to 3-28… Antawn Jamison tied his season high with 29 points. Andray Blatche had 19 points and a career-high 15 rebounds… Kevin Durant led Oklahoma City with 25 points and 11 rebounds. Jeff Green had 23 points.
Dec 27: Nets 114, Bobcats 103, OTAuthor: Inside Hoops
Dec 28
The AP reports: The New Jersey Nets are at their best on the road. Vince Carter scored 28 points and the Nets got support from their bench in overtime to beat the Charlotte Bobcats 114-103 on Saturday night. Devin Harris added 26 points, and reserves Jarvis Hayes and Josh Boone added 14 and 12 points, respectively, for New Jersey, which improved to 10-4 in road games this season… Gerald Wallace scored 32 points. Raja Bell added 18, Emeka Okafor had 16 points and 10 rebounds, and Raymond Felton scored 13 points for Charlotte, which had defeated New Jersey 95-87 in East Rutherford, N.J., just 24 hours earlier.

A 37-year-old man who knocked down a cyclist as he crossed a junction in Irvinestown claimed he was "adamant" he had a right of way, Fermanagh court has heard.
Two cyclists were killed when they were struck by a car after police were called to a village.
Officers were responding to a "fear-for-welfare" call in Purley Rise, Purley on Thames, West Berkshire, at about 21:00 GMT on Thursday February 13th.
A black BMW related to the call-out struck the cyclists, who both died at the scene, Thames Valley Police said. The driver was later arrested.
The driver of the car involved in the incident- a red Audi – did not initially stop at the scene but was located a short distance away. The 28-year-old male driver has been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving and failing to stop at the scene of an accident.
In July 2012 29-year old motorist Vanslow Lee was involved in a number of road-rage incidents.
Tributes have been paid to a former paramedic who died after a collision with a car while on his bicycle.
Gagandeep Kakkad, 23 was sentenced in Reading Crown Court on Monday August 26th to an 18 month driving ban and 200 hours community service. He was also ordered to do an extended retest and fined £1,200.
Mr Mugisha, 41, from Enfield, died 6 days after the collision with a car at the junction of Great Cambridge Road and White Hart Lane. He had been in a coma since the crash. He was originally from Uganda but moved with his family to Britain some years ago.
A Plymouth jazz musician killed a pedestrian after suffering a prolonged coughing fit at the wheel, a court heard.
A motorist has today admitted causing the death of a cyclist on a busy East Lancashire road.
A lorry driver who knocked down and killed a middle-aged cyclist on a busy Ashford road has been spared a jail term.

Smitteh or Rad to captain.
Parmi | #1 draft pick | Jake King is **** | Big Bash League tipping champion of the universeCome and Paint Turtle
Let 3 blokes be captain, one does each block of overs between each drinks break, a la under 11's.
The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament.
Could even have 6 captains given the use of 2 new balls.
Provided Finch doesn't captain.
Alternatively, keeping with the junior cricket theme, we can just have Darren Lehmann umpire and make the bowling changes/field placements at the same time.
He'll need to score from square leg too.
It was bewildering that MJ was named vice captain in the first place
Brad McNamara @bbuzzmc
Will say this once and then nothing else. Defamation laws quite clear in Aus.be careful.
"If Haddin – who has yet to captain Australia at any level - gets the nod it will complete a remarkable career resurrection given the pivotal role he played in regaining the Ashes having lost his place in the Test team when forced to return home early from the 2012 tour of the West Indies for personal reasons."

Yeah I noticed that too. You should reply to their tweet and get a full retraction and apology.

The Osprey Escapist 25 Pack is a technical pack for a myriad of active trail adventures. The pack provides 25 liters of space for all your gear, whether you're hitting the trail by foot, bike, or both. The LidLock™ and blinker light attachment easily turns this pack into a bag for biking, but they won't get in the way if you're not riding. The lower zippered compartment is sectioned off with a zip divider, a handy spot for an emergency sleeping bag or bivy. Or toss your hammock and straps in there and find yourself a couple of trees to relax under. The Airscape™ backpanel is made with ridge molded foam that vents and supports while the BioStretch™ harness and hipbelt provide comfort and stability. The hipbelts both have zippered pockets and the left harness strap has it's very own zippered pocket. You should probably jam as many energy gels, granola bars or Jolly Ranchers into those pockets as you can.
So sorry, but only 4 items are allowed for comparison, so we're comparing the first 4. I blame the gnomes and so should you.
Would you like to compare the products you have selected now?

Patna: Ahead of his Bhutan trip, Bihar Chief
Minister Nitish Kumar on Monday demanded that the Centre sanction
major chunk of the power being availed by it from Bhutan to
the state.
Kumar said he would reach Bhutan on a three day-tour on
May 4 at the invitation of the Bhutan King and Prime Minister.
Though his visit to Bhutan was nothing to do with the
issue, the Centre should consider the state`s demand, Kumar
told reporters on the sidelines of his Janata Darbar programme
He said there were several hydel power projects which
were set up following the support of Indian Government to
Bhutan. "I will personally visit some of the hydel power
plants in Bhutan.
"There are vast potential for hydel power plants in
India and the cultural and historic ties between the two
countries are very strong ... Bihar too has sentimental
relations with the Himalayan country as a lot of tourists from
there visit Bodh Gaya, Rajgir and Nalanda," Kumar said adding
he would discuss with Bhutanese authorities for facilitating
more tourists.
Chief Minister said following the visit of Bhutanese
Home Minister, the neighbouring country had identified a piece
of land for a monastery in Rajgir.
Bihar Tourism Corporation would hold an exhibition in
Bhutan, he said adding he would be accompanied by a delegation
of officials from Energy, Tourism and Information and Public
Relations departments during the proposed visit.
"I have also received invitation from China but the
dates of the visit have not yet been decided," Kumar said.

Added Feb 16, 2011

A dress for the spring, and for now with a legging and a cardigan!

I hope you understand, my english is really bad!!!
(the pattern comes from Burdastyle magazine, 12/2010)

SAN DIEGO, CA--(Marketwired - Jun 27, 2013) - SpectraScience, Inc. (OTCQB: SCIE), a San Diego-based medical device company, today announced it expects to recognize revenue of approximately $120,000 for its second quarter ending June 30, 2013.
The Company continues to actively market the WavSTAT4 Optical Biopsy System in Europe, the Middle East and Africa through its sales, marketing and distribution partner, PENTAX Europe GmbH. The first application of the technology is for the diagnosis of small polyps and lesions during routine screening colonoscopies for colorectal cancer. Sales of the WavSTAT4 Optical Biopsy System consoles to PENTAX represent the bulk of the revenue.
"It's gratifying to see the market begin to recognize the clinical and cost advantages WavSTAT brings to the diagnosis of colorectal cancer," said SpectraScience CEO Michael Oliver. "Now that we've demonstrated the clinical efficacy of the system through Professor Neumann's study, released last month at Digestive Disease Week (DDW), we find customers more willing to embrace the concept of in vivo histology. We believe this will lay the groundwork to change the standard of care across Europe and our other markets."
About SpectraScience, Inc.
SpectraScience is a San Diego based medical device company that designs, develops, manufactures and markets light-based analysis systems capable of determining whether tissue is normal, pre-cancerous or cancerous without physically removing tissue from the body. The WavSTAT Optical Biopsy System uses light to optically diagnose tissue and provide the physician with an immediate analysis. With approval for sale under the CE Mark for the European Union, the WavSTAT System is the first commercially available product that incorporates this innovative technology for clinical use.

1977 Triumph Sprint
What will it be next?
Head gasket blew at 5,000 kms.
Again, at 25,000 kms.
The parcel shelves are constructed of a cheap black cardboard material and eventually rattle loose.
The gearbox ceased engaging during my first Aussie summer when the car was hot.
The car's rear thuds and vibrates whenever a full bore take-off is attempted.
The SU carburettors must be regularly topped up with oil if the car isn't to run like a dog.
Car overheats on a regular basis in hot Australian summers and a new radiator core and thermostat did nothing to improve things.
Thermo fan seized after 18 months.
General Comments:
I loved the handling. It skips at the rear when on the limit which is entertaining, but never unnerving.
The motor, when it ran, pulled like an English locomotive... about 8.5 seconds to 100 kph and torquey in every gear.
Economy was good to very good when the motor was going well. Up to 38 mpg on a sedate trip, 25 around town.
Interior comfort was generally good, but the limited rear suspension travel caused some jarring over less than perfect roads.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? No

|2,000 sq ft
|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|7 nights
Executive rental on the Chippewa Flowage available year round. Fish
on the world famous Chippewa
Flowage for Musky, Bass, Walleye and Northern. The Flowage is WI. 3rd
largest lake and is 90%
undeveloped. For a true wilderness experience it is hard to beat the
Flowage. The world record Musky
was caught here in 1940 and remains to this day as the largest Musky
ever caught. A replica of this
fish can be seen in the house. Many activities are available close
by. Everything from fishing,
hiking, snowmobiling and a number of other activities are with in 5-
10 minutes of the house.
Built in 2004 the house is equiped with satelite T.V. and has a
finished basement with a game room.
A 12 jon boat comes with the rental. Fishing off the pier is great
with many pan fish close by.
Relax on the 600sq ft deck over looking the water.
Avid outdoors man that enjoys the seclusion the Chippewa Flowage provides.
Tom Bruseth purchased this house in 2004
WI. 3rd largest lake and 90% undeveloped.
Great house on the water with easy access.
We stayed here in Fall of 2009 and now we just got back from enjoying it in summer. We love this house and the seclusion of where it is situated. Right on the beautiful flowage, great sunshine flowing in, quiet and peaceful. The house has all the amenities you would want, we didn't cook at all last time because we ate out all the time but this time we used the well stocked kitchen. There are plenty of restaurants to try around the area. Our GPS was handy since it would be easy to get lost. The pontoon boat for rent is a must. The rec room in the basement was loads of fun. The loft is amazing with it's own bathroom. Tom was great to deal with and everything went smoothly. I highly recommend this cabin!
Fishing, Hunting, snow mobiling, Skiing, Trail Ridding, Golf, 17
different resorts and resturants on
the Flowage available by boat.
Weekly Rate: $1850 - $1950

Although she was not truly one of us, we remember her fondly

About twenty-five years ago, my family and I had relocated from Utah to Indiana. The community where we settled was undergoing a huge amount of change. It had become a bedroom community for many who commuted into Chicago and other nearby centers of employment. This influx of newcomers had greatly disrupted the lifestyles of the "old timers" in the community.
We found a church shortly after resettling. I can remember so well a story told to me by the pastor of that church describing the discomfort between the interlopers and the established, long-term residents. This is the story:
"A pastor was delivering the message at the funeral of a woman who died at the age of 99. She had been brought into this community at the age of one by her parents. She was baptized in the same church where her funeral was being held and had been a very active lifelong member of the congregation. The pastor began his message with 'Although she was not truly one of us, we remember her fondly.' "
I think we've all encountered situations like that. We seek to become "members", to be accepted. Yet, no matter what we do or how we approach things, we remain "outsiders."
Many churches are like that. Sometimes we see a situation where the "odd ball" WAS accepted. Far too often that is not the case.
In our Christian lives we do establish close relationships. That is a part of "being in communion" not only with Jesus but with fellow Christians.
What we must guard against is doing so to the exclusion of others who would join the community, who seek that communion with Jesus and the fellowship of like believers.
At times, we must take a step outside of our tightly held circles and look back in through the eyes of others. What is it that they seek and how are we responding to their needs?
Only then can we open the circle, expand it to grow the Body of Christ.
Shalom, Art

The Chronology: Page-25
Adler Tag (Eagle Day) Begins
AUGUST 13th 1940
FIGHTER COMMAND SECTOR STATIONS AT THIS TIME [ Document-30 ]
WEATHER: Early morning low cloud base, rain easing during morning but clearing to a fine day with lengthy sunny periods by afternoon.
Göring's heralded 'Eagle Day' was launched in confusion on 13th August, renewed in massive strength by a staff officer's unauthorized decision on 15 August, and thereafter continued in fierce fighting into September.
If the Luftwaffe had learned something during the last few months it was that Britain had 'eyes' out there that detected their fighter and bomber formations coming across the Channel. Many of their convoy attacks had either to be aborted or they were attacked by British fighters before they had a chance to rendezvous with the target. The Germans knew of radar, in fact they had a radar system of their own, but in the late thirties when radio direction finding was in its infancy, Britain continued with experiments and made full use of the fact that electronics could warn them of any impending attack, whereas Germany decided not to follow it through.
They therefore had to destroy these seeing 'eyes' of Britain before any idea of a major attack on British cities could be made otherwise half of there bombers and fighter escorts would be wiped out before they could reach their targets. An alternative to this was to let their heavy bombers fly in across the Channel at low altitudes so that they flew below the radar beams. But this was a tricky method of operation and only specially trained crews could accomplish this low altitude flying. Another problem was that fighter escort was very ineffective at low altitudes so these low altitude missions meant that the bombers only means of defence was trying to remain unobserved, a very tricky situation.
But the attacks on the radar stations at Dover, Pevensey and Rye the previous day, although temporarily put out of action, emergency back up systems allowed all these stations to be 'back on the air' within six hours. Ventnor radar was the main problem as it had been hit hard and was the main radar in the Portsmouth/Southampton area.
The way was now clear for them to implement Adlerangriff.
Before we continue with August 13th, let us take a look at the Order of Battle of August 8th [ Document-31 ],and how it had changed since the Order of Battle of July. 11 Group had been given additional strength by moving more squadrons from the north to reinforce those that were already in the south. Some squadrons had been rested and sent to Scotland and they were replaced by other squadrons from 12 Group.
When Göring first made his announcement to Luftflotte (Air Fleets) 2, 3 and 5 that Operation Adler (Eagle) would commence and that they would wipe the British Air Force from the sky in early August, the message was quickly deciphered and was in the hands of the British Chiefs of Staff, the Prime Minister and Hugh Dowding within an hour indicating that Adlerangriff (Eagle day) would commence on August 10th. but because of the unfavourable weather conditions was delayed until now, August 13th
But it seemed that the weather had not heard of the Göring plan of attack. Instead of the fair to good weather conditions that were predicted, the morning of the 13th loomed very overcast with low cloud over the French coast and Channel.
0510hrs: The German bombers began to take off from various airfields and the first major assault on Britain was about to begin. Most of them were airborne and were beginning to form their respective formations, when a last minute message was sent to all units that this first assault had been postponed, and that all aircraft were to return to their bases. The message was not received by the 74 Dornier bombers of KG 2 led by Oberst Johannes Fink, and he was to be escorted by 60 Bf110's of ZG 26 commanded by Oberstleutnant Joachim Huth. The weather started to deteriorate further, the forecast had been for clear and fine conditions but a blanket of low cloud covered both the French and the English coasts and the order went out for Angriff beschrankin (Attack Cancelled) owing to the weather, with the possibility of a resumption in the afternoon should the weather clear. This message was received by Huth, who relayed the message to the rest of his 60 fighter-bombers. However, Fink's Dornier had a malfunction in its long-range radio that he did not know about and was therefore unaware that the operation had been cancelled. To compact the situation, there was no radio communication between the Bf110's and the Dorniers, and as the bombers were flying in heavy cloud Fink's Dorniers did not realize that the Me 110's had returned to base. Approaching the English coast, the Dorniers broke up into two separate formations. One headed for Sheerness on the Isle of Sheppy, while the other headed towards the Coastal Command station at Eastchurch.
0557hrs: It does appear that the radar stations at Dover and Rye that were now back in action, had detected and followed the progress of the Dornier formation, but as to the final destination of the Dorniers no one knew or could estimate their target. The formation had taken a wide berth around the Kent coast, then entered the Thames Estuary where a number of targets would be available to them. The Observer Corps at Bromley asked of Fighter Commands liaison officer, "Have we a large number of aircraft forming near Rochford?". The immediate reply from HQ was a definite 'No'.
0630hrs: Radar had also picked up an enemy formation coming in from the Channel between Hastings and Bognor and Fighter Command dispatched 43 Squadron Tangmere (Hurricanes), 64 Squadron Kenley (Spitfires), 87 Squadron Exeter (Hurricanes) and 601 Squadron Tangmere (Hurricanes) . 601 Squadron head east towards their vectored position gaining height when a formation of Ju88s who's mission was to bomb the aerodromes at Odiham and Farnborough (Hants) are spotted on their port side.
0640hrs: P/O H.C.Mayer's who is leading "A" Flight of 601 Squadron reports a tiered formation of Bf109s and Bf110s at high altitude, and orders his flight to gain position and attack the bombers.
The Ju88 that P/O Mayer's shot down could possibly have been attacked by Sgt. Hallowes of 43 Squadron. The Ju88, from 1/KG54 crashed and exploded at Treyford with the pilot's body never being found and the other two crew members being captured after baling out of the aircraft. Another Ju88 was shot down by both 601 and 43 Squadrons and crashed near Arundel (Sussex) while another Ju88 which came under fire from the Hurricanes of 601 Squadron aborted the mission early after its engines began giving trouble. Two Hurricanes of 43 Squadron were shot down with F/Lt T.P.Dalton-Morgan baling out of his aircraft and being wounded and P/O C.A.Woods- Scawen escaping from his burning Hurricane after it crash landed. One of the aircrew baled out of a Ju88 thinking the worst was going to happen and landed in a field in the region of Tangmere. He was captured and taken to the aerodrome.
87 Squadron Exeter (Hurricanes) was also dispatched to intercept the formation but being scrambled late arrived after the Ju88s had decided to return to France, but they did intercept a lone Ju88 about 0800hrs south of Chichester and in the ensuing combat, one Hurricane was hit by gunfire from the enemy bomber and crashed south of Selsey Bill. Other Hurricanes of 87 Squadron continued the combat with the Ju88 receiving damage and crashing into the Channel.
0645hrs: 74 Squadron Hornchurch (Spitfires), under the command of "Sailor" Malan, were ordered to patrol the Thames Estuary as a precautionary measure. The radar stations at Dover and Pevensey, not being at 100% strength because of the previous days bombing could not give a definite fix only to say 'that we are definitely picking up a signal' and any fix could only be estimated. As the Dorniers were using the low cloud as cover, the Observer Corps had difficulty in locating any formation. At 0655hrs, enough enemy aircraft could be seen coming out of the cloud to confirm that an enemy formation was coming in from the Thames Estuary and flying in a westerly direction.
0702hrs: The call went out again from Bromley. this time with a definite report "Raid 45 is bombing the Eastchurch drome." Park released 111 Squadron Croydon (Hurricanes) and vectored them towards Sheppy.
By this time, 74 Squadron had located the Dorniers between Whitstable and Margate and managed to dive in to attack the rearward section of the enemy formation. A number of Dorniers peeled off and trued to get back into the cloud cover. The forward section of the German formation continued and completed their bombing attack on Eastchurch believing it to be one of Fighter Commands stations. Considerable damage was done. Two hangars were severely damaged. The operations room received a direct hit, and a number of Blenheims of 35 Squadron Coastal Command were destroyed. German records state that 10 Spitfires had been destroyed that were at Eastchurch, but RAF records indicate that only one was damaged and that it was able to be repaired. (266 Squadron [Spitfires] had been using Eastchurch at the time)
0720hrs: The bombing of Eastchurch had finished, and the German bombers turned and headed for home. But the clouds had started to disperse and now they were flying with brilliant sunshine. Kenley had scrambled 111 Squadron (Hurricanes) based at Croydon to intercept the bombers, but not in time to divert the attack away from Eastchurch. 151 Squadron North Weald (Hurricanes) were also dispatched. With no fighter escort, the Dorniers were like sitting ducks. 111 squadron claimed four Dorniers, while one of the canon equipped Hurricanes of 151 Squadron damaged another. One of the Dorniers had crashed and its crew captured and taken prisoner. Fink himself made it back to his base at Arras and was fuming that he had been allowed to continue the raid without proper fighter cover, and that because of no proper communication he had five of his bombers shot down and a further five so badly damaged that three of them were beyond repair.
On returning to Arras, Fink circled the airfield then made a slow and gentle touchdown. But on alighting from his plane, he stormed towards the operations room and immediately grappled for a telephone and demanded a priority link to Kesselring's Cap Blanc Nez HQ. It was only a few days earlier that Generalfeldmarschall Albert Kesselring had given them a lecture on Channel crossings, combat and safety. Fink felt that what had happened that day was sheer criminal negligence on the part of High Command. It was this negligence that had cost him five valuable crews, a total of twenty experienced and highly trained men, either killed or possibly taken prisoner.
He spoke to Kesselring personally, and constantly raised his voice in a manner that
did not worry him that he was talking to a person of higher authority.
"Where the hell were those dammed fighters then, just tell me that." Kesselring
done his best to calm down the irate Fink, but all that happened was that
Fink grew even angrier.
But although there was good weather in the Thames Estuary, it was not as good over the Channel and more confusion was experienced by the Luftwaffe in an effort to get Adlerangriff started.
This was just another case of errors in German intelligence. As in the raid in the Thames Estuary, Sheerness and Eastchurch were not Fighter Command airfields, neither were Odiham and Farnborough. Farnborough being an airfield of the Royal Aircraft Establishment. These errors came about because of the fact that German Intelligence relied on older ordinance survey maps of England and were trying to bring them up to date with information brought back by reconnaissance aircraft. Bad analysis of the situation and poor interpretation meant that they did not have a complete picture of the overall situation.
1140hrs: A build up of a small formation was picked up by radar off the French coast off Cherbourg. It turns out to be 20+ Bf110s who were to escort Ju88s of KG54 on a raid on Portland Harbour. KG54 had received the message that the raid had been cancelled and they returned to their base, but the message was not conveyed to 1/ZG2 and the Bf110s continued their path across the Channel.
1230hrs: 238 Squadron Middle Wallop (Hurricanes) and 601 Squadron Tangmere (Hurricanes) engaged the Bf110s and a one sided air battle commenced. 1/ZG2 lost five Bf110s in quick succession and what was left aborted any raid on Portland and headed for the safety of the French coast. 43 Squadron had one Hurricane damaged, while 601 Squadron lost one Hurricane, that of P/O H.C.Mayers who baled out of his damaged aircraft with injuries to his legs. While dangling from his parachute, a Bf110 fires a short burst at him but misses and P/O Mayer's lands in the Channel. Two other Hurricanes of 601 Squadron are damaged, but manage to return to base.
Word had got around to the Luftwaffe airfields that Adlerangriff had been postponed until the weather became more favourable. But this was quickly thwarted when the order went out at:
1300hrs: that Eagle Day was definitely "on" and that because of a weather improvement there would be considerable bomber and dive bomber attacks on a large scale on the British airfields across the southern portion of England. It appeared that the German plan was to make simultaneous attacks from Weymouth to Portland, Southampton and Portsmouth, and targets in north Kent.
1500hrs: A number of formations were detected off of the French coast near Cherbourg and from the direction of the Channel Islands. The information was conveyed to Fighter Command HQ. They watched the WAAFs push and pull the enemy markers across the board with their long rakes. The command HQ at 10 Group was informed and from here a number of squadrons were brought to readiness. Park at 11 Group was also informed of the situation as his squadrons at Tangmere and Westhampnett may be called in to provide assistance should the enemy formation turn and head towards Southampton.
1510hrs: 10 Group headquarters brings the following squadrons to readiness. 152 Squadron Warmwell (Spitfires), 213 Squadron Exeter (Hurricanes), 238 Squadron Middle Wallop (Hurricanes) and 609 Squadron Middle Wallop (Spitfires). 11 Group brought 601 Squadron Tangmere (Hurricanes) to readiness. The large formation is detected heading in a straight line towards Portland, but they were still far enough out over the Channel to alter course and head for various selected targets. The squadrons of Fighter Command lie in wait.
1530hrs: The large formation is now on radar just out from the Dorset coast and was approaching to the west of the Isle of Wight. It seemed as if this was to be a massive attack, and the German formations were heading in the direction of Portsmouth and Southampton. As predicted, the formations were now broken into groups, and consisted of 120 plus Ju88s from KG 54 and LG 1, these were escorted by 40 plus Bf109s from V/LG 1 that were coming in from the western end of the Channel. To the east came 77 Ju 87s from II/StG 2 and StG 77 and were escorted by 50 plus Bf109s from JG 27. Flying slightly ahead of the bomber formations were 35 Bf109s of II/JG 53. This was a total of about 450 German aircraft that was approaching the English coast.
First to be released were 152 Squadron Warmwell (Spitfires) and 213 Squadron Exeter (Hurricanes) who were vectored to a position west of the Isle of Wight over the Solent. Soon after, one by one the other squadrons are "scrambled". 152 Squadron are first on the scene and engage a formation of Bf109s and within a few minutes are joined by 213 Squadron Exeter (Spitfires). Between them, they engage the full force of the Bf109s and Bf110s and in the ensuing combat draw the German escorts away from the Ju88 bombers. But the Bf109s are in that critical stage of fuel shortage, the long haul across the Channel and now in combat situation they had to conserve fuel for the return journey home.
1600hrs: With the weather improving the first of the Ju88 bombers crossed the coast and set course for Southampton. 609 Squadron Middle Wallop (Spitfires) engaged the bombers but were swooped on by the Bf109s who could engage combat for only a few minutes before turning back because of their fuel situation. It appears that Fighter Command were getting to realize that coming across this wider part of the Channel, the Bf109s had restricted time to engage combat because they would only have enough fuel for the return journey back to base.
This now allowed 609 Squadron to attack the bombers. They found the Ju88s and some Ju87s below them and an escort of Bf109s just above the Stukas. To the west, another group of Bf109s were involved in a dogfight with 238 Squadron Middle Wallop (Hurricanes).
1605hrs: The Ju88s that continued managed to do considerable damage to Southampton docks and to the city itself before continuing on to Andover airfield which they mistook for Middle Wallop, where again they done a fair amount of damage. The formation was allowed to continue to Andover free of RAF fighter attacks because 609 Squadron had to return to Middle Wallop because they were low on fuel and ammunition. But, nearing base, they made contact with a formation of Ju87s that were in fact heading for Middle Wallop as well, but with different intentions to that of 609 Squadron. (Some reports state that the aircraft that attacked Andover and Middle Wallop were Ju88s that had just prior bombed Southampton)
Being close to the airfield, it was possible for 609 to engage combat. The Ju87s who had lost its Me 109 escort were vulnerable to the Spitfires and they too aborted their attack and Middle Wallop escaped unscathed.
1630hrs: The Ju88s of KG 54 that were coming in from the west made their attack on Portland, but as they were making their approach they were intercepted by 152 Squadron Warmwell (Spitfires), 213 Squadron Exeter (Hurricanes) and 601 Squadron Tangmere (Hurricanes), many of the bombers were damaged but some got through and dropped bombs on Portland causing minor damage. The bombers seemed to make for Southampton after the attack on Portland, but the RAF fighters were swarming in front of them and forced them to abandon any further attack and they headed out to the open Channel and home to base.
Although the RAF lost a number of fighters in this combat, it was obvious that the Luftwaffe had lost an even greater number, mainly due to the fact that the fighter escorts had to return back to their bases because of the fuel situation, this paved the way for the RAF fighters to attack the Stukas and the heavier bombers who were now at their mercy.
1700hrs: another sighting was made of a formation of enemy aircraft coming in across the Channel. This seemed to be made up of two separate formations. The larger coming across the coast near Dungeness that were identified as Ju87s from II/StG I, while a smaller group came in over Dover, these were identified as Ju87s of IV(St) LGI with both groups escorted by Me 109s.
56 Squadron North Weald (Hurricanes) were dispatched to intercept. No sooner had they started to disperse the Stukas, when they were suddenly attacked by the Me 109s. The Hurricanes then started to mix it with the German fighters allowing the Ju87s to continue veering north towards the Thames Estuary. One Hurricane from 56 Squadron North Weald received damage and although managing to stay airborne, was losing height and trailing smoke. He eventually made a pancake landing at Hawkinge.
The Ju 87s were making for Rochester in north Kent. The target here was the Short Brothers aircraft factory but had difficulty in finding the target so decided to return to their base. In their plans of attack, it was the Luftwaffe intention now to hit the RAF on the ground as well as in the air, and the Ju 87s of IV/LG 1 were instructed to bomb Detling airfield just outside Rochester. Here some of the Me 109 fighter escort broke away from combat with 56 Squadron to provide cover for the Ju87s. 56 Squadron was instructed to follow the 109s and some of the Hurricanes made attacks on Ju 87s as well as the Me 109s over the target airfield.
1716hrs: Coming in from the Thames Estuary, following the Kent coastline past the seaside towns of Margate and Whitstable, past the Isle of Sheppy then an immediate turn to port into the River Medway and once past the unmistakable city of Rochester and Detling lies just beyond. Although not belonging to Fighter Command, Detling would present itself as an impressive target. A large expanse of open airfield.
Detling was badly damaged in the attack. The operations block was totally destroyed, most of the hangars were completely flattened and all the contents destroyed. A total of 68 airmen in the station mess hall were killed as it scored a direct hit, the fuel dump exploded in flames, the Commanding Officer of the station was killed instantly by the entrance of the HQ building, and a number of Blenheims that had been bombed up and ready for the evenings mission exploded destroying them completely. But again, this was another blunder by Luftwaffe Intelligence who had reported Detling as a major British airfield. But Detling was only a Coastal Command airfield that was used for look-out and observation patrols for German naval vessels and the occasional air-sea rescue and was not a Fighter Command airfield. This was really a wasted effort by the Luftwaffe the only bright side to their mission was that they did not lose any aircraft in the Detling attack, but 56 Squadron (North Weald) although three pilots escaped injury and one baled out with severe burns, they lost four Hurricanes.
The 13thAugust could only be summed up as a total disaster for the Luftwaffe. We know of three occasions where communications had broken down allowing the attackers to be hit at will by the RAF because missions were incomplete. This naturally led to the Luftwaffe sustaining a great number of casualties. And the blunder by German Intelligence regarding Detling as mentioned, was a complete waste of time, and again because of the high casualty rate was also a waste of valuable aircraft and pilots. The total for the day was that the Luftwaffe had lost some 53 aircraft (another reference states that this figure was only 34) and nearly two hundred aircrew, while although not including the 68 airmen killed at Detling, the RAF lost 15 fighter aircraft and miraculously only three pilots were killed, but it was still a day of intense fighting.
Dowding said of this day '....it's a miracle'. He had been looking back on the days events and considered that it had been very busy all round, and that the fifteen planes that had been lost would be very easily replaced. Adlerangriff was to be an all out attack on the RAF and its fighter bases, but as yet all the wrong targets had been hit, causing no immediate concern to Fighter Command.
From Keith Park's view:
'No one could be foolish enough to think that we can send in any amount of fighters against the large formations that the Luftwaffe were sending across the Channel and not receive any casualties' he said, 'but with careful placement of my squadrons it is hoped that we can keep this to a minimum.' He had told his squadron commanders on many an occasion, that no-one is going to win a game of chess without losing any of his pieces, it's just that with some games, you lose more than you do with others. Park too was satisfied with the outcome of August 13th, he kept the German fighters at bay over the Channel and close to the English coast and by comparison with the previous day, his casualties were light with only three killed or missing, two that sustained injuries that were to put them out of action for a while and six returning to their squadrons after being shot down.
2200hrs: August 13th was not finished yet. major towns, cities, factories and the rail network became the target of the German night bombers. The Short Brothers aircraft factory in Belfast in Ireland, and at Castle Bromwich where the new Spitfire Mk II was being produced and other targets were: Aberdeen in Scotland, Liverpool in north west England and Swansea in Wales all became targets, but only reports of 'damage sustained, but only minor' were conveyed to the War Office.
The commencement of Adler Tag was, not for the Luftwaffe a successful one. A combination of poor weather conditions and a number of 'bungles' on their part did not even put the RAF to the test. First, the airfields that the Luftwaffe were targeting, Eastchurch, Detling, Odiham and Farnborough were not Fighter Command airfields, during the morning the German bombers lost their fighter escort and during the afternoon a fighter escort had left their French base without the bombers that they were supposed to escort. Now, Göring was under the impression that all fighter squadrons in 10, 12 and 13 Groups had been sent south to 11 Group and informed Luftflotte 5 in Norway to prepare for attacks on the English north and Scotland as the time was now right.
