The Play Date Cafe Challenge #93
This week I played with some fun, fun stamps from Pink Persimmon called Vintage Cupcake. Want a chance to win some Pink Persimmon goodness of your very own? Then I highly suggest you go over and check out the Play Date Cafe blog post, hint hint! And while you're there, play along with this week's color story!
It's a fun day at the PDCC - we have our NEW designers joining us today!! They are completely fabby and I'm honored to get to design with them this term! A big welcome to Denise & Julie! Be sure to check out what they came up with, as well as my other teammates, at the Play Date Cafe! :-)
Thanks for stopping by,

May. We're officially sick of you. With your two bank holidays, your ATP and Great Escape music festivals, and your eagerly-anticipated return of Bjork… Wait, hang on, May was kind of alright, wasn't it? Come back! Oh well, too late, we're stuck with June for a full thirty days now, and with Paris Hilton languishing in a prison cell somewhere in California, what better time to reflect on a month in wonderful albums? Like, whateverrrr…
On another note, shall we just bin the rest of the year off and say Battles is the best record of 2007? Seriously though, who's going to top that? Not Radiohead, that's for sure. Interpol? M.I.A? Animal Collective? The freaking Pixies? Answers on a postcard to the usual address.
(Warp Records)
Says reviewer Mike Diver: "Just where do you rack an LP that blurs boundaries like watercolour paint on a soggy page, that defies convenient categorisation by being at once everything you want and need in an album and like nothing you've ever heard before. Mirrored is otherworldly yet startlingly familiar at times; it echoes the work of forefathers from a wide range of musical hemispheres but augments many a facet from history in a manner that's entirely unique."

The National
(Beggar's Banquet)
Says reviewer Sam Strang: "Whilst the triumphant fist that previous LP Alligator rose may have lowered, Boxer documents the standard relationship gripes with absolute resignation and, though not quite as immediately arresting and rampant as its plaudit-acquiring predecessor, is an album of understated brilliance."
Read the full review here
The Cribs
Men's Needs, Women's Needs, Whatever
Says reviewer Alex Denney: "There'll be no broadening of musical horizons here, thanks very much, only the exhilarating sound of a band raising its game for a shot at the big time. Ultimately, Men's Needs… is brighter, sharper and just plain better than anything The Cribs have produced to date."
Read the full review here
We Can Create
Says reviewer Ben Yates: "We Can Create brings shoegaze into the 21st Century, drawing both from the genre's roots (Slowdive, My Bloody Valentine) and the forerunners of its latest reincarnation (M83, Ulrich Schnauss). No, this isn't just a tenth anniversary history lesson – it's as much a part of the present as it is imbued with the past."
Read the full review here
The Maccabees
Colour It In
Says reviewer Kev Kharas: "It's their mob-driven momentum, as well as the humanity dripping from the tonsils of singer Orlando Weeks, that sets The Maccabees apart and above their peers. With a lyrical worldview falling somewhere between Ferris Bueller… and Gregory's Girl, Weeks sounds like a schoolboy who's been dismantled by love and who's now in the process of putting himself back together again. Read the full review here
(One Little Indian)
Says reviewer Mike Diver: "Björk's origins might well be lost in the mists of time, but we're not as concerned as she is: we're far more interested in where she's headed, even at this point of her career. This is no sidestep, despite the recalling of past achievements; it takes one step back to fly a dozen forward, and leaves the listener bewildered at its incredible execution."
Read the full review here
The Cinematic Orchestra
Ma Fleur
(Ninja Tune)
Says reviewer Shain Shapiro: "Ma Fleur comes into form at a snail's pace, slowly and patiently. Yet, whatever blossoms from these quiescent tones is always blurred, careful to never give away too much in an effort to add mystery, sexiness and sensuality to the overall product. And, like the rest of The Cinematic Orchstra's canon, it works like a twisted charm."
Read the full review here
The Sea & Cake
(Thrill Jockey)
Says reviewer Sean Adams: "Everybody is sensitive, soft, and gentle in a time when people want their asses kicked by beats 'n' slurs, or their ears punched by phat guitars. It isn't about conservatism, but it is about music that lets you escape the hubbub, slide down a rabbit hole into the countryside that Blyton and Hardy promised."
Read the full review here
The Twilight Sad
Fourteen Autumns & Fifteen Winters
(Fat Cat)
Says reviewer Ben Marwood: "For eighteen months Fat Cat waited for The Twilight Sad to hone both their sound and their songwriting and deliver unto them a gem, and this is the result; a multi-layered, massive masterpiece; nine songs both tender and touching yet at the same time powerful enough to knock your face clean off your head."
Read the full review here
James Yorkston
Roaring The Gospel
Says reviewer Daniel Ross: "An atmosphere is created by this album, and broken only by its conclusion. Now on his fourth album, James Yorkston is succeeding with every emotional lunge he makes. Whether he is personally successful in them is not our bind, because we are privileged enough to be able to hear the results."
Read the full review here
Says reviewer Mike Diver: "Mapmaker is the sort of record that'll brighten your most miserable of days, and it'll do it oh my noisily. That Parts & Labor have toured with Spank Rock, An Albatross and The Hidden Cameras should tell you something: this is a quality band's band of the utmost quality, and if you're yet to experience them, let Mapmaker be your gateway to a summer of limb-flailing, teeth-baring, living room-shredding excellence."

Infrastructure was a key component of wartime logistics: aiding the movement of personnel, weaponry, post and supplies. This fed in not only to conflict aims and needs but to more personal needs; the postal service boosted morale by giving troops a vital link to their loved ones. Engineers were crucial to infrastructure, by creating the supply lines on which the armed forces depended on.

Electrical Engineering Departments were first created by the Admiralty in 1903; Charles Henry Wordingham was made Superintending Electrical Engineer with two Assistants of whom William McClelland was one, the quotes are his. Electrical Engineers were appointed at each Dockyard. The war brought with it challenges for the fitting and maintenance of the fleet:
"Early in the 1914-18 War, Admiral Sir Percy Scott, a well-known gunnery expert, walked into my room one morning, and, with his pencil drew on my blotting pad, an outline of a ship saying, "that's the hull, that's the tower; that's the control room below; we want to control all turret guns from the top; if that is shot away, we then control from the room below; if that becomes flooded or damaged, we then control from a certain turret; any damaged parts must be capable of being isolated quickly with switch-over arrangements. Now McClelland, how long will it take to wire 30 first line ships at sea, the ships to remain at an hour's notice for action?"
McClelland's response was ignored, he was given 6 months and told to make arrangements to get the dockyard workmen to the Fleet. When the Fleet went to sea, the workmen often went with them; some were in action and were specially commended by the Commander in Chief.
HMS Invincible, the fast Battle-Cruiser was urgently needed. She was under refit, her guns removed, and electrically she was nearly stripped. The extent of the electrical work involved was such that the Electrical Engineering Department could not complete the ship concurrently with other departments. Labour was not available in the dockyards. "The First Sea Lord said that, if it were a question of men, we should get them where we liked and how we liked, paying what was necessary, and if anyone say 'nay', that person should be referred to him, but without any doubt whatsoever, the ship must leave on the date given". He attached heavy penalties for any individual or Department failing to meet targets. Adverts were placed and over 200 men were found in a few days. Invincible left the dockyard on time; in the Falklands, she arrived just in time to catch and sink the German ships, the Scharnhorst and Gneisenau. "Thus the Electrical Engineering Departments got through the 1914-1918 War, by sheer hard work and determination".
New designs of ships, new construction and maintenance seemed unending; senior staff were engaged with all sorts of new electrical problems almost daily, they were much worried by the constant pressure and over-work. As an indication of the magnitude of the tasks, the number of electrical refits of ships was 48,630; the organisation for that one item, with its enormous supplies of materials, electrical machinery, and equipment from all over the country, had to be created without any previous experience of prolonged war in a comparatively new industry. The smooth and rapid expansion was made possible by the recruitment of suitable junior officers from the dockyards, who worked very efficiently.
Engineers played a vital role in moving troops, supplies and equipment. At the beginning of the War, the British Army did not have specialist material for building heavy bridges, nor the technical intelligence to be able to work out what might be required. The earliest forms of equipment bridging were based on pontoons which continued to be useful carrying guns and light equipment across rivers but the introduction of mechanical transport resulted in a large increase of axle load and the need to develop bridges to take heavier loads.
The first need for heavy bridges was over the River Aisne on 13 September 1914, when the retreating German army destroyed the Pont Saint Waast leaving the allies unable to follow. The Royal Engineers built several pontoon bridges over the next few weeks followed by a heavy wooden girder bridge, the Pont des Anglais, at Sousson. The bridge was built under enemy fire and using any available materials including floorboards from local houses; it took too long to build resulting in a demand for steel spans to be sent.
The first British equipment bridge was called the Inglis Portable Military Bridge (Light Type) invented by Sir Charles Inglis. Although the spans were invented in 1909 whilst Inglis was involved with the Cambridge University Officer Training Corps, they were first used as a self-contained portable bridge during WWI. Inglis was commissioned into the Royal Engineers in 1914; in1916 he was put in charge of bridge design and supply at the War Office. The first Inglis bridge consisted of pyramidal bays 8ft square created by 8ft long steel tubes connected by specially designed fittings, not unlike modern scaffolding. It was designed to carry infantry in single file over a 120ft span and was easily transported requiring little specialist training to construct. At the first demonstration in France, a 108ft span was thrown across a canal in 13 minutes by an untrained party of Army Service Corps. On 28 September 1918 200 sappers from the Royal Engineers built a 108 ft span bridge over the Canal du Nord at Marquion in twelve and a half construction hours over several days whilst under fire.
Although the Inglis Bridge was the best military bridge of the time, being fast to construct and carrying heavy loads, its tubular steel construction made it expensive and slow to manufacture. The Hopkins Bridge designed by Captain Hopkins, Royal Engineers, was a cheaper alternative. This bridge used conventional steel girders bolted together but the bolts meant construction was much slower than the Inglis. This meant that when speed was an issue, an Inglis bridge was often built which was then later replaced by a Hopkins bridge allowing the Inglis bridge to be re-used. The Hopkins bridge was designed to carry tanks. It consisted of steel Warren trusses and could be made in spans of multiples of 15ft. It was successful and a lorry bridge was designed, it was still at the experimental stage in 1918.
The main disadvantage of girder bridges such as the Inglis and Hopkins was that they were not very adaptable; resulting in them often being stronger and heavier than required. This problem led to the design of the Martel box girder bridge in 1925 which was used in the Second World War. These latter developments were as a direct result of engineers work from 1914 onwards.

"Indigenous peoples, in spite of their debilitating experiences of discrimination, displacement and disempowerment, have sustainable alternatives to many of the world's problems," said Dr Pusin Tali.
These alternatives, he declared, are "drawn from their rich traditions of wisdom, based on their deep interactive engagement with the earth."
Tali is moderator of the Presbyterian Church in Taiwan and president of Yu-Shan Theological College and Seminary. He spoke at a conference organised by the Just and Inclusive Communities programme of the World Council of Churches (WCC), held last month in Hualien, Taiwan.
He commented: "The Presbyterian Church in Taiwan feels privileged to be associated with this gathering of indigenous theologians as they reflect on how churches discern their ecumenical vocation in a world faced with manifold threats to life. We feel this is our contribution to the ecumenical movement."
The conference took place in Yu-Shan Theological College and Seminary. Founded in 1946 mainly to train indigenous pastors in Taiwan, it has been a place of interaction between Christian theology and indigenous traditions.
Dr John Chungche-Wu, vice-president of the seminary and host of the conference said that it was their first international conference, which they hope will strengthen efforts of the indigenous communities for peace and justice in Taiwan.
More than 30 theologians from around the world participated in the conference to discern what their theologies could contribute to ecumenical endeavours besides strengthening their own communities and struggles for justice.
The participants reflected on the theme of the WCC's upcoming 10th Assembly, "God of life, lead us to justice and peace". The assembly is to be held in Busan, Republic of Korea next year.
The participants insisted that justice and peace are "neither concepts for intellectualisation nor mere ideal states to be led to, but are possibilities that can happen through struggle and collective effort". They affirmed that "we must pray to God to lead us in the struggles for justice and peace."
"This implies that both partnership and struggle are necessary for an honest pursuit of justice and peace," said Dr Wati Longchar, an indigenous theologian from India who facilitated the discussions.
Reflecting on the WCC assembly theme, the conference statement said that "life in the traditions of many Indigenous Peoples is wholistic, and is always seen as an indivisible, interconnected web of life. So is their concept of God who is present in all that has and gives life and is constantly at work to uphold its sanctity and integrity."
"The reality of life itself is God. Earth includes all aspects of life. When we ask for life, justice and peace, we are asking for an earth that enhances and protects life," reads the statement.
The conference discussed plans for the WCC pre-assembly event involving Indigenous Peoples next year. The Rev Dr Deenabandhu Manchala, the WCC programme executive for Just and Inclusive Communities, said that the "pre-assembly event in Busan will bring together nearly 60 representatives of indigenous communities from around the world. The event will focus on exploring the meaning and various dimensions of life and will attempt to re-imagine God."

Advertising: The following are
guidelines for use in composing and
responding to advertisements to be placed
in the Career Opportunities section of the
Monitor on Psychology.
By vote of the Council, 1974, listings
will be accepted from academic institutions
under censure by the American Association
of University Professors (AAUP). However,
these listings are identified in this publication by the placement of the symbol (•)
preceding line classified career opportunities (and by an editor's note located in
these guidelines for classified display
ads) in order to advise applicants that the
employing institution, or its administration,
which includes the administrative officers
and the governing board of the institution,
has been censured by the AAUP, and that
further information may be obtained from
the relevant AAUP Bulletin.
Department of Defense advertisements
for positions requiring military service
must include the following disclaimer:
Eligibility for military service requires
certain physical abilities and attributes
including age, height, weight, and physical ability requirements.
APA policy on the use of the title
"psychologist" is contained in the
General Guidelines for Providers of Psychological Services, which defines the term
"professional psychologist" as follows:
"Psychologists have a doctoral degree in
psychology from an organized, sequential
program in a regionally accredited
university or professional school." APA
is not responsible for the specific title or
wording of any particular career opportunities, but it is general practice to refer
to master's-level positions as counselors,
specialists, clinicians, and so forth (rather
than as "psychologists"). In addition, it is
general practice to refer to APA-accredited programs as "APA-accredited" rather
than "APA-approved." The position as
described must be in conformity with the
statute regulating the use of the title psychologist and the practice of psychology
in the state in which the job is available.
Employers are required to include any
limits or restrictions on career opportunities in advertisements, including any
restrictions on the basis of geographical,
age, and/or religious factors.
Advertisements should be written
to convey the following information:
• Job title with area of specialization
• Name of employer. (Blind or box ads
cannot be accepted.)
• Description of position, responsibilities involved, permanent or temporary,
tenure-track or not, etc.
• Minimum qualifications required,
including any restrictions on the basis
of geographical, age, and/or religious
• Salary range and period covered.
• Closing date for applications and date
position will commence.
• Indication if interview expenses are not
to be fully paid.
• List of documents to accompany initial
letter of application, e.g., vitae, names
of references, etc.
• Name and address of person to whom
application should be directed.
Placement of an advertisement
implies that:
• Jobs exist as described.
• There is/are no prescribed candidate(s).
• Employer will acknowledge receipt of
applicant's material.
• It is recommended that advertisers
inform an applicant when (s)he is
eliminated from consideration or when
the position is filled.
Responding to an advertisement
implies that:
• Training experience and interests are
accurately represented by letter of
application and supporting material and
are consonant with those specified in
the advertisement.
• Applicant should notify prospective
employer if (s)he no longer wishes to
be considered for the position.
Equal Employment Opportunity
The American Psychological Association
endorses equal employment opportunity
practices and accepts only ads that are not
discriminatory on the basis of race, color,
gender identity and expression, religion,
age, national origin, veteran status, sexual
orientation, or physical disability. In keeping
with this policy, the use of "recent Ph.D." in
APA advertising is not allowed on the basis
that it is potentially age-discriminatory (see
U.S. Department of Labor prohibition on
use of "recent graduate"). The term "
begin-ning-level salary" may be used. Positions
may also be defined in terms of teaching
load, specified number of years away from
a tenure decision, or requirements of certain
skills. We reserve the right to edit all copy
and to refuse ads that are not in consonance
with the principles of Title VII of the Civil
Rights Act of 1964, the Age Discrimination
in Employment Act of 1967, the Veterans'
Reemployment Rights Act Handicap Bias,
the Vietnam Era Veterans' Readjustment
Assistance Act of 1974, and the Americans
with Disabilities Act of 1990. The Equal
Employment Opportunity Act, in addition to
Public Law 100-238, makes specific legally
permissible exceptions to discrimination
in hiring by religious institutions, Indian
tribes, and federal correctional facilities.
For this reason, certain position opening
advertisements will include job opening
restrictions on the basis of religious, racial,
and age factors.
Without limiting PsycCareers's terms,conditions, and policies, PsycCareersin accordance with Department ofJustice guidelines: 1) Prohibits any jobposting that requires U.S. citizenship orlawful permanent residence in the U.S.as a condition of employment, unlessotherwise required in order to complywith law, regulation, executive order, orgovernment contract. 2) Prohibits anyjob requirement or criterion in connec-tion with a job posting that discriminateson the basis of citizenship status ornational origin. You can review moreinformation at http://www.justice.gov/crt/about/osc/htm/ best_practices.php. Forcomplete EEO guidelines please referto the following resource: http://www.justice.gov/crt/osc/.

nor of the products or services advertised.
APA is not responsible for any claims made
in an advertisement. Advertisers may not,

subsequent advertisement or promotional
piece the fact that a product or service has

Monitor on Psychology is received mid-month by readers. APA recommends that
response deadlines in advertisements be no
earlier than the 15th of the month following

William Blake and Romanticism
- Autumn 2013
Additional Details:
This seminar will focus on the poetry and prose of William Blake, with special attention to his longer poems, The Four Zoas and Jerusalem. We will read, however, earlier poems, letters, and other prose, including The Songs of Innocence and of Experience, and the earlier prophetic works, as they provide the essential foundation for the longer poems. We will pay particular attention to issues of Blake's revisions—both apparent patterns and plans for future works, repeatedly changed or abandoned, and his extensive and superbly preserved (but very complex) revisions to The Four Zoas, as setting up critical issues for the completion of later poems, particularly Milton and Jerusalem.
Blake's liminal position as a major writer, often neglected, between 18th century literary and intellectual concerns and arguably the first of the major Romantic writers presents a number of critical and historical problems. We will examine his career as a graphic artist, much better known than has often been assumed in studies of Romanticism, and its relation to his distinctive theories of poetry and imagination.
Primary Texts:
William Blake. The Complete Poetry and Selected Prose, ed. David Erdman (Doubleday) William Blake. The Complete Illuminated Works (Thames)
Critical articles and other resources will be available in a course reader, and on-line reserve.

Reminder: Why I Love IE!
Well, here I am again… The day after the third "gimme all the sugar" incident.
Back in the day, I would have thought I'd "blown it" and could just give up losing weight forever on account of not being perfect. Today, I woke still depressed, had a packet of Kettle Chips and a coffee with sugar for breakfast, then a few hours later…
The depression "broke". The storm dissipated. You may think I'm weird, getting such short depressions, but it is how it is. The fog in my brain started to disperse. There's no feeling quite like it. I'm hungrier than usual today, and have a bit of heartburn (on account of yesterday's food). Now I have a donut left in the fridge and I can take it or leave it. And I know donuts taste best when I really, REALLY want them (like yesterday), so I'll leave it. All I could think about eating was some wholewheat pasta with garlic, chilli & olive oil (above). So, I did! That was about 3 hours ago and I'm hungry again. I have my eye on some sweet potatoes with egg mayo, so I'm making that now.
I weighed in at 200 again today. It's coming back down. I have a suspicious feeling that excess cortisol due to stress was a culprit here, so I'm going to try and relax, sort out my insomnia and chill out.
And THIS is why I love IE. I know when I "need" sugar, I eat it, and I know when I don't want any more. I don't have to use willpower, or expend my concentration on "combatting cravings". I just eat, stop, and develop a craving for something healthy, then eat that. I have the eating part DOWN. I'm confident.
One thing I did notice in this depressed (sorry: reflective) period is that I've been trying to do too much, too soon. I want to be happy in my body NOW. I want to be doing 50 pull-ups and dead lifting my body weight NOW. I want to be wearing the size 10 skinny jeans NOW.
But I can't. I haven't consolidated my previous lifestyle changes yet. Cutting down on sugar I can do FOREVER because it makes me feel good. Intuitive Eating I can do FOREVER because it makes me feel good. My plan was to add walking most days, and learning tasty clean eating recipes so I'd have more food to choose from. But, I got lazy with the walking. It was cold. It was dark. I wasn't sleeping. I had no money to buy more food. I started obsessing over strength training thinking I'd found a short cut.
Well, put it this way: if I can't commit to a 2 mile walk every day, and I'm still trying to break 200lbs, I'm not in any place to be whipping P90X in the a** yet. One day, but not yet.
Back to basics. I'm getting down to 182 (13 stone) or thereabouts doing THIS, then I'll tackle the hormonal craziness that is going back on the pill, and THEN I'll readdress where I'm at.
While I appreciate my own enthusiasm, I'm not trying to build a house of cards. I'm trying to build solid, permanent, unshakeable habits. That way, when I do get to my goal of small & strong? I STAY THERE.

(visited by Shawn Fleming)
27-Aug-2004 -- Having just successfully visited 41n123w, my next objective was 40n123w. How long could it take to travel only 1 degree of latitude south? If you were to follow the route I took from Weaverville south along Highway 3 then west on Highway 36, and then southeast again on various roads leading to Covelo, the answer is about 4 hours. It was very scenic, but these roads were very narrow and winding. Taking CA-299 west to US-101 and south to CA-162 and then east to Covelo would have been a lot farther but probably much shorter in time. Such are the roads throughout the Mendocino National Forest and the Yolla Bolly Wilderness Area.
From Covelo, I continued east on California 162 turning north at N39 49.552 W123 05.030 This road is paved until approximately N39 51.550 W122 59.367, I continued north on a fairly good dirt road until I reached the start of Ant Ridge Road (Picture #6) and continued up this road until its end (Picture #7). You can easily reach this spot with a high clearance 2wd vehicle.
My original plan was a survey to find the best approach so I could visit this confluence at a later date. However, I was now less than 2 miles away and noting how long it took me to simply to get to a starting point, I decided that spending the night here and hiking a few more miles in the morning with a couple blisters on my feet would be easier in the long run than spending another entire weekend just to get back to where I was at the time. Besides, I could see the ridge in the distance (Picture #7) that I would have to climb. How hard could this be?
A hot dinner and a very sound night of sleep were very refreshing. After breakfast, I started up through the dense forest knowing from the TerraServer imagery that I would soon break out into the clear on the spine of Ant Ridge. After about a quarter mile and 400 vertical feet up I was on top of the ridge. I continued ascending this ridge until it merged with Hammerhorn Ridge where I proceeded west for awhile before continuing down the far (north) side to the confluence located a half mile and 600 vertical feet below. This was a half mile with significant slopes in a dense forest with lots of fallen trees and other obstacles to navigate around.
The confluence itself is located in a small clearing just besides a small dry drainage described by George Butler in his visit. Looking north, I could see across Rattlesnake Creek valley to Soldier Ridge (Picture #3). In hindsight, I think this would have been the preferable route in late summer when the streams are dry or very low. The distance through the dense forest would be about the same but the overall distance and elevation change would be significantly less.
There were lots of large black ants on the forest floor. When I came back to my pack for my camera, dozens of these ants were climbing all over it. Luckily all the zippers were closed. I had hoped to get a picture with simultaneous zeroes on my GPS receivers but this is tougher than it sounds. I have several shots that show a single receiver with all zeroes but none where they all show integer degrees. Whatever their collective position uncertainty would resolve to, they all agreed I was within 10 meters of the intersection as shown in Picture #5.
Picture #1 looks south and shows the way back towards the top of Hammerhorn Ridge. Picture #2 looks west showing the small clearing. Picture #4 looks west and is very typical of the obstacles along the forest floor.
It was time to retrace my steps back to my car. When I was on top of Hammerhorn Ridge, I took several pictures including one showing the view south in Picture #8. I ate a small lunch and took in the tremendous panorama from my vantage point. At this spot I was 800 feet above the confluence and 1500 feet above where I had parked. I was also surprised to have 3 bars of AT&T cell phone signal here allowing me to call home and relay success and an estimated return time to my wife.
The trip down would have been much faster if not for those blisters on my feet and general fatigue from my journeys in the past couple days.
Overall round trip was 4.7 miles in 5:10 It took another 3 hours of driving just to get to Interstate 5. My trip home from this confluence would take me diagonally 5 degrees south and 5 degrees east and the better part of 10 hours.
An outstanding trip to the mountains. The remoteness of this confluence may be the primary reason why I'm only its second visitor!

by Len Lear
When I was a kid, I used to go to the Pennell School playground, Ogontz and Nedro Avenues in West Oak Lane, where my friends and I would play softball almost every day of the week in the spring and summer for hours. We started about 1950 and continued until I left home for college in 1958. First we would "flip" baseball cards against the school building and hope to win the cards of our heroes like Richie Ashburn, Robin Roberts, Jackie Robinson, Roy Campanella, Duke Snider, etc. (Even though the Brooklyn Dodgers were "the enemy," I overlooked that fact because "Campy" was a North Philly native and because Robinson was so exciting and "The Duke" was so regal.)
After about 45 minutes of "flipping" cards, we'd go over to the other end of the playground, choose up sides and play a game or two of softball. Now the term "softball" is a misnomer because the damned thing, though much bigger than a conventional "hardball," was just about as hard. How do I know this? Because, even though I was a shortstop, I was usually the only kid on either team who did not have a glove, and many of those grounders on our cement "field" stung like hell.
There were five kids in our rowhouse, and our working class dad, a South Philly native who never went past the eighth grade, could not afford to pay for frills like baseball gloves or football equipment. (Thus, I actually did play football with no equipment, even a helmet, which may be why my brain is in its current condition. The play that ended my football "career" was when I tackled Joel Browndorf, an All-City running back for Central High School who had generated a full head of steam in the open field. He was 6-foot-1 and 210 pounds, wearing shoulder pads, a helmet, etc.; I was 5-foot-9 and 140 pounds, with no equipment except what Mother Nature gave me. After that collision, I realized my future lay in sitting at a desk.)
I did try to save up money from summer jobs, like delivering papers on my bicycle for the Philadelphia Bulletin or making change in a pinball machine gallery at Broad and Erie or working behind the counter at Cooper's Bar BQ at Broad and Olney or being a "soda jerk" at the Cedar Park Pharmacy in West Oak Lane. But I never made more than $10 a week, which was usually wasted on hoagies, milkshakes and pinball games. (Or if I could refrain from pinball games and junk food for a couple of weeks, I would save up enough money for a ticket to a rock 'n' roll show at the Uptown Theater in North Philly, where I might see Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Jackie Wilson, Lee Andrews & the Hearts, Solomon Burke, etc.)
I made more than my share of errors at shortstop, and I tried my best not to blame them on the lack of a glove, which actually made me feel pretty macho. ("Only wimps wear baseball gloves," I once told a teammate who complained that my late-inning error lost a game for us.) I think I did pretty well, considering my handicap, but I never did make it to the major (or minor) leagues. Then again, I don't think there even was such a thing as a major league for softball.
In any event, today I can definitely appreciate the way great shortstops like Jimmy Rollins field their positions, but let's face it, they have actual gloves and play on that soft grass. So what's the big deal? If they want to really earn their millions, they should play on cement without gloves, like I did. Otherwise, they should donate most of their millions to charity.

Why are viscosity and density important in relation to pumps?
Because you might need to specify a pump that delivers 10 bars of pressure, but if you do not consider the pumped liquid's properties, it is highly unlikely you will make the right choice.
"If you don't account for the differing viscosity and density of liquids, you may end up with too big a pump, which is overly expensive to buy and run and takes up a lot of space," says Søren Mortensen, Grundfos Application Manager. "If the pump is too small, you simply won't be able to move the amount of liquid required. And if the motor chosen is too small for the job in hand, it will either burn out or the electrical security system will shut off the pump."
Okay, will you please remind me what "viscosity" and "density" mean?
Viscosity is a measure of the "thickness" of a liquid, whereas density is a measure of the liquid's weight.
The thicker the fluid, the more difficult it is to pump?
A fluid's viscosity or "thickness" certainly affects how it will behave in a pump, but it's complicated because the viscosity of fluids can change under different conditions. There are four main groups of fluids – each group acts a certain way despite its specific viscosity.
First, you have fluids like water, oil, alcohol and paint thinner. With these so-called "Newtonian fluids," it does not matter how fast they move or how much you agitate them, they flow the same.
The second type is "dilatant fluids" like cream and butter, whose viscosity increases with agitation until they become almost solid. "They are impossible to pump in standard centrifugal pumps and require special measures to move them," notes Søren Mortensen.
Third, "plastic fluids" have a yield value (the point of resistance) that must be exceeded before they can start flowing. After that point, viscosity decreases as agitation increases. "The best example of a plastic fluid is ketchup," says Søren Mortensen. "Think about how you have to shake it up in a bottle before it starts to move, but once it is moving, it flows easily."
The fourth group, "thixotropic fluids," is the hardest to explain… and to deal with in pumps. Glues, non-drip paint, greases, cellulose compounds, soaps, starches and tar all fall into this category. These fluids are viscous (thick) when standing still, but will become less viscous (thinner) over time with constant agitation.
Very difficult, indeed. So how do you measure viscosity?
Well, there are two types viscosity – dynamic and kinematic…
"Many people think that all fluids act exactly like water in a pump. This is the misunderstanding we come across 95 per cent of the time, and it can lead to very costly errors."
Søren Mortensen, Grundfos Application Manager – Industry Segment
Wait … you're losing me. What is most important for me to know about viscosity when it comes to pumps?
So-called "kinematic viscosity" is a real physical factor that influences pump curves, so this is something you need to know about.
Kinematic viscosity is denoted in centistokes (cSt) and is measured in mm2/s. For instance, water has a low viscosity of 1 cSt at 20°C, while motor oil has a high viscosity of more than 500 cSt at the same temperature.
"Viscosity is essentially resistance to flow and this has implications for pumps," says Søren Mortensen. "If you have a high-viscosity, sticky fluid on your hands, it clings and it's much harder to remove than a low-viscosity fluid. It is the same in a pump, where you have impellers to move the fluid. If you are pumping fluids like motor oil that stick to the surface of the impeller, this is a problem that needs to be considered."
Okay, that is viscosity. Tell me more about density.
Different liquids may have different densities (or weights, measured in g/cm3 or kg/m3) and the density of a single type of fluid does vary with temperature.
When we are sizing pumps, we pay particular attention to the "head," or how many metres up in the air we can pump a given fluid at one bar of pressure. Heavier fluids will need more pressure to pump them.
As you can see in Figure 1 below, this can vary significantly. Brine (1,300 kg/m3) is much heavier (more dense) than diesel oil (800 kg/m3), while water at 20°C (997 kg/m3) is heavier than water at 95°C (960 kg/m3).
What is the most common misunderstanding about viscosity and density in a pump context?
"Many people think that all fluids act exactly like water in a pump," says Søren Mortensen, "but, as we can see, that isn't the case. This is the misunderstanding we come across 95 per cent of the time, and it can lead to very costly errors."
How can Grundfos help me avoid all of this trouble?
Go to the Grundfos Product Center, type in the details of the fluids you need to be pumped and our Liquids Guide will guide you to the solutions that can handle the liquid. Try it!

The inspiration this week at Sepia Saturday is a photo of a wall-mounted clock in what appears to be some kind of workshop. I couldn't find a photo of a clock, but I thought of "workshop" and "work" and remembered these 3 photos from my granddad, Douglas's, collection. It seems to be a Works Outing, probably from somewhere near Dunfermline, Fife – I'm not sure where he worked at the time. Here we are getting off the Magical Mystery Tour bus – I wonder if there was rowdy singing on the way?
and here are some of the Lads on the ferry – I wonder where we are going? At least no one is hanging over the side. Yet. Billy Bunter's off to forage for buns, but someone else forgot to bring his teeth…
We've reached the next stage of our journey, but Bert is too much of a weakling to allow us to continue so I hope East Arms is a pub. However, there is extra good news
there are THREE (yes, dear reader, three) clocks in this photo 🙂 That's Douglas in the Commodore in the middle, trying to control his homies.
I hope they all had a good time, and that everyone got home safely, but I'm curious about where they went. I can't find a place called "East Arms" using Google, and we don't have half-timbered buildings in Scotland, so I suspect they ventured further afield. Any ideas?
I'm off to check the time on the other Sepia Saturday posts!
UPDATE! Thanks to Mike Brubaker and Michael Inkpen, I now know that the lads were far from home. It can't have been a day trip as they were at East Arms, Hurley, Maidenhead in Berkshire, 435 miles away from home. Here's how it looks a few decades on
It would take at least 7 1/2 hours to get there today – wonder how long it took them in their coaches before motorways?
Mike Inkpen emailed me to say "I'm pretty sure this is the place where the coaches are drawn up.
It's Thames Side, Henley on Thames. Look at the building facing us and
the skyline. The river here is used for the Henley Royal Regatta and the
mooring mid-stream and the judges booth all add up."
I think he's right. So was it a Works Outing to the Henley Regatta, or did they just happen to pass through at the right time? It's a long way to go, so I suspect they were on a bigger trip with a bigger purpose. It could also have been a Masonic Lodge trip, as Douglas was a Mason.
Thanks Mike – he has found the place that the Lads probably boarded the ferry, at Thameside. It looks quite similar to where they got off the buses
