But the unbelieving Atheist rejects any notion of intelligent design, as the slippery slope leads to a God. Intelligent design therefore is the quintessential line of demarcation. If we can prove intelligent design, the Atheist will be forced to rethink everything, and take on a completely new paradigm.
Beloved Paul said this in his epistle to the Romans:
- For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So [Atheists] are without excuse.
This was not a flippant, casual statement. Paul didn't merely say that because we have trees and grass and the sky, it is therefore completely obvious that God exists. No. Paul was a very wise and intellectual man. What he meant by his argument was this: If you look really close to the things around you and how they function—the obviousness of intelligent design is inescapable. Even Albert Einstein, the greatest scientist in history, couldn't escape the unmistakable conclusion that the universe has an antecedent cause and an intelligent design.
But let's take a look at creation, as Paul suggests, and discern for ourselves. Out of countless examples, consider the dandelion. This little weed has a remarkable mechanism which allows it to travel great distances for the purpose of propagation and survival. Within the flowering bloom of the dandelion are many seeds; seeds which are equipped with what can best be described as parachutes. These parachutes give the seeds the ability to ride the wind, travel to new places even miles away, and plant themselves into the ground and create new flowers.
What a brilliant, creative way of spreading the species. Could it just be dumb luck that these dandelions make use of the wind to ensure their survival? Even if one takes the position of genetic adaption over time, what is it exactly that grants this adaptation? Does the dandelion flower itself have a survival mechanism in its genetic code that allows for adaptation? Wouldn't that be considered a form of intelligence, and if so, is the intelligence within the flower itself? Where did the intelligent ability to adapt and survive come from?
These are the kind of things Paul had in mind when he said if we look closely at the intelligent way everything around us operates, we have no justifiable reason to shrug it off and deny intelligent design.

Gina Quilt
This product is beautiful
I love my new quilt. It brightens my room, just the right amount. The pattern is very nice and the color combination is great! I was expecting a bit more of a traditional quilt feeling, but it is more like a comforter that is made with quilt stitching, so if you're looking for a heavier material and more like a true quilt I wouldn't recommend this. I love it though, it'll be perfect for spring/summer too.

All the way from Jaipur, the art mecca of India...What a beautiful quilt! I was loving it up until I washed it. Practically all the threading came out! If I want to use it next season, Iwill have to find a quilt maker to repair it and put more durable threading. Otherwise, the fabric and pattern are nice. But definitely not worth $80. Thank goodness I bought on sale for $25!

Filled with sand.
It is not that bright as portrayed. But it looked nice and soft at the beginning. And then my leather sofa was filled with sand. After the wash it became worse. It might be even dangerous for health. I had to rid of it. What a shame World Market!

For Friends' Review. DAVID COOPER. The manuscript diary of David Cooper, containing much that is valuable, lies before me. He was born in 1724, and was grandson of Wm. Cooper, who came to New Jersey, from England, in 1678. He was a person of sound and strong mind and an influential, consistent Friend. A letter written by him to one of his fellow-members of the Meeting for Sufferings, eighty-five years ago, and some remarks respecting it, which he penned for the benefit of his children, appear to me so pertinent to the present times, that I offer them for insertion in the Review. "Woodbury, 15th of 6th month, 1777. "Dear Friend,--I received a hint from thee, implying that I had withdrawn from service in asking a release as a member of the Meeting for Sufferings. It hath since frequently come in my mind to give thee some of my reasons, which may remove censure if thou hast thought me deserving. Few perhaps have seen more than myself the want of wise and faithful laborers, at a time when darkness appears to cover the land, and gross darkness the people, and I have greatly desired an increase of the number who might be favored with sufficient light to distinguish thing from thing, and to know when to move and when to stand still; and not, like men groping in this darkness, believe they are serving God, when they are actuated only by outward views and conclusions as men, as it appears the good king Josiah did when he opposed Pharoah in his own will,--which proved his destruction. The exercise I have felt at times within three years, is not to be expressed, from beholding a mixture of human policy so manifest in the deliberations of that meeting; Friends declaring to the world that we are redeemed from it, and at the same time constantly meddling with it, as though we did not believe in or were not willing to trust to a superintending Providene, appearing to think ourselves and the conclusions of that meeting of abundantly greater consequence than any body else thinks them. Thou wilt perhaps say these proceedings arose from a clear sense of duty. Possibly they may,--but if free from much mixture, I am sure one so mistaken and insensible as I have been was not a suitable member. The compass of a letter will not admit giving my reasons fully for saying policy hath mixed in our deliberations; but, it did not require much discerning to discover that our Testimony, published 1st mo., 1775, was first drawn up with a view to please at St. James' as much if not more than to be useful in America. Is this treason? It was my real sentiment at the time and ever since: witness: 'The king having been our nursing father'--and other parts which were expunged; as also expressions frequently used, then and since, urging the great care necessary not to displease these rulers over the water,--that our conduct as a Society would hereafter be narrowly inspected by them, &c. And every line of it, almost, appeared to me to be dictated from human views, instead of that unerring Spirit we profess to be guided by, which indeed sees not as man sees. A step which will, I believe, be thought illy to comport with this principle of ours, should Providence permit the establishment of the separation for which the people are now struggling, and with which I am clear we had no business to interfere or meddle; but we should have realized our profession by leaving these things wholly to Him who needs not our assistance in setting up or pulling down. But this is digressing from my first view of giving reasons for my release as above, and I may say, these meetings occasioned deep sufferings to me; sometimes from a humbling fear lest I was exceedingly in the dark, in that the feelings of my mind were so different from some of

The court makes decisions about residence (previously called custody) by considering what is in the child's best interests. A number of factors, referred to as the welfare checklist (in section 1 of the Children Act 1989) are looked at and weighed up to decide what is in the child's welfare. Parents coming out of heterosexual relationships and forming gay and lesbian relationships face particular anxieties about how their sexuality will affect a court's decision if there is a dispute about who will look after the children.
The court's attitude has changed a lot over the last few years and there is a much greater acceptance of lesbian and gay parenting.
The Human Rights Act 1998 and Scotland Act 1998 bring the European Convention on Human Rights into UK law and enshrine the "right to respect for [a person's] private and family life" which can strengthen the position of lesbians, gay men and bisexuals in relation to family law. In the 1999 case of Salgueiro Da Silva Mouta v. Portugal the European Court of Human Rights found that the Portuguese Court's decisions to deny a gay father access and custody for his daughter on the basis of his sexuality violated his rights under article 8 (right to respect for his family life) and article 14 (prohibition on discrimination) of the Convention.

I live in California, I was taught the game of Hockey by watching the St Louis Blues, when I was living in Missouri, as my friend would explain the rules etc. Anyways, Im back in California and have no Blues fans out here. I would like to start rounding up and networking some California Blues fans and maybe go to a bar or a place to watch a game and chop it up about the Blue Notes! Well, let's see what turns up.

ST. LOUIS (KMOV.com) -- It has been a long time coming, but the $18 million O'Fallon Park Recreational Complex is finally open.
The complex features a gym, indoor track, basketball courts and swimming pools. The complex was built after voters approved a sales tax hike in 2006 to pay for the project.
"Too many kids don't have anything to do after school. Too many kids. We see groups of them on the corners after school and in the summertime," said 21st Ward Alderman Antonio French, "Now we have a place to send them and say there are structured activities going on, a fun, safe place. And be here and not on the streets."
City residents who are 12 to 18 years old get a discounted membership of $25 a year. Other memberships range in price from $33 a year to $44 for adults.
There are discounts for low income families.

Wedding season's sprung up early this year here at the blog. Last week, besides my trucking down to NJ to attend Cousin Mark's fiancee's shower, one of you e'd me desperate for help with a groom's cocktail to serve at his upcoming nuptials. Why desperate? Because of when upcoming: This very gracious gentleman, Jon, e'd me on a Wednesday needing a recipe for the reception on Saturday. Ladeeeeez, dudes and wedding planning OMG AMIRITE??!?
Obligatory awwwWWW! pic of Mark and his fiancee, Molly!
Now, let it be known that a) I lurve weddings (all the more so having had my own); b) I think the idea of a bride's cocktail and a groom's cocktail is an idea whose time has come (the PhoBlograpHusband and I had his-and-her cakes; how rated-G were we?); c) I am happy to be asked by Jon and whomever else to help them craft their own wedding's signature cocktails. ("If there's something you'd like to try/Ask me I won't say now/How could I?")
In Jon's case, he and his betrothed had already settled on a Her recipe, cheekily named The Blushing Bride: Prosecco (a blush sparkler!), Aperol and OJ. Go, Jon! I consider that a fantastic wedding cocktail for several key reasons:
- A simple recipe with few ingredients means it can be churned out fast and/or in large quantities.
- It's a pretty color.
- Non-cocktailers will be put at ease by its two more familiar, quotidian ingredients (OJ and bubbly), thus assuaging any trepidation they may have about the less-familiar third (Aperol, an Italian liqueur which of course wouldn't hurt a fly).
So, that left the question of what kind of cocktail to craft for Him. As Jon put it, "I love alcohol and love Scotch and bourbon… can you think of a drink that most people can drink? I can handle any type of liquor, but I have seen people turn down 21-year-old single malts because they don't like the taste!" I hear you, Jon.
The Him cocktail should reflect the Hers in certain ways, I thought, so I wanted to tie in the Aperol, make it a motif throughout. Scotch + Aperol = quite interesting and good, really. And then I thought we'd mimic the Blushing Bride's fizz by adding either club soda or ginger ale (it wound up being ginger ale). Oh-so-many reflective motifs — where's my Master's in Critical Cocktail Theory, please?
I further recommended to Jon serving The Gushing Groom in a likewise flute, as pictured in this post, but Jon told me he went with double old-fashioned glasses. Jon, that is just such a right-on, manly-it-up choice. (His exact words: "Some guys might be flute-averse.") Please quit making me look bad, Jon.
The Gushing Groom
1 ounce The Arran Malt 14-year Single Malt Scotch Whisky
1/2 ounce Aperol
2 dashes Angostura Bitters
Ginger ale to fill
Combine Scotch, Aperol and bitters in an ice-filled mixing glass and stir briskly. Strain into ice-filled double old-fashioned glass. Top with ginger alge.
Tasting Notes
Of course, you can use ginger beer instead of ginger ale. You can garnish with a lemon twist, an orange twist, or whatever sprig or blossom is a part of your groomsmen's boutonnieres.
Scotch is not 1000% my bag, but the Arran Malt (coincidentally, a wedding gift we received) is a fave of mine because it's not super-peaty. Then again, it's not super-easy to find on your average liquor-store shelf, either. I mean, really, it's no coincidence that the only reason we have it is because its expense counts as "really nice wedding gift." So to sub, Sean recommends plain, old Dewar's, or Johnnie Walker Black for a shelf up. You all might have even better suggestions, which you should totally leave in the comments.

It's the only feeling Toby Perlman, wife of violinist Itzhak Perlman and founder of Perlman Music Program (PMP), thinks of when she recalls her experience as a violin student.
"It makes my heart start beating faster, and my breath gets shorter, remembering all those answers I didn't have to all those questions, and (having) the feeling of not being as good as (they wanted me to be)," Perlman says during a phone interview from her New York home.
That learning experience is the reason the 70-year-old founded PMP, a seven-week intensive music training and mentoring program for talented, young string musicians in East Hampton, N.Y. The program also offers a two-week winter residency in Sarasota.
Perlman studied violin from an early age, and continued her studies at The Juilliard School when she was 17 years old. Because of her natural talent, much what she was studying was clear to her, but the rest of it became a source of psychological trauma.
"I was a slow student, a poor student and I really struggled," she says. "And I feel that a big part of that struggle was unnecessary."
Perlman now believes that if a talented student doesn't understand a concept, the problem lies in the way that student is taught.
"I always thought to myself, 'If I could have it my way …'" she says of her career as a student.
And If she could have had it her way at Juilliard, when a student wasn't grasping the concept, the teacher would have explained it slower or in an alternative way. Holding the teacher responsible when it didn't click for a student became Perlman's concept for an ideal music school.
Perlman's gears continued to turn after she became a mother of five and was looking for the perfect summer music program for her children. It was then that she realized the need for the kind of school she'd been creating in her mind.
So, in the spring of 1993, when she was given the opportunity to found a school, all the components were already worked out.
"I didn't skip a beat," she says. "I said, 'Oh, a school? I'll run a school and here's the design for it.' And I just (drew it up for them) at that meeting."
She had been invited to attend a meeting with a group of people who wanted to found a music festival. She attended to be polite but it wasn't until someone mentioned having a school attached to the festival that she became interested.
The first Perlman Music Program took place August 1993, on the acreage of a kid's camp where the windows didn't have screens, rehearsals and performances took place in a dining room, and there were mosquitoes and snakes — Perlman smiles as she tells the story of the first year.
"It was difficult, but we were all so enthusiastic," she says. "Now we have a beautiful campus and we really are lucky; we are so lucky."
The program for students ages 12 to 20 is similar to the inaugural year as far as faculty and student size, but it's now a seven-week training and mentoring program.
In 2003, David Klein, husband to one of PMP faculty, suggested the school hold a winter residency in Sarasota.
"He felt Sarasota was a cultural mecca … (with) all kinds of really top-notch cultural activities," she says, "And the thought was that it was fertile ground for this program."
Perlman attributes Klein for getting the Sarasota program on its feet, but the Perlmans jumped on board as soon as the idea was piched. Itzhak Perlman had performed many times at the Van Wezel.
The students who attend The Perlman Music Program Winter Residency at USF Sarasota-Manatee's campus are the students who were previously auditioned and accepted into the summer program.
Toby Perlman makes special effort to get to know the 36-to-40 students that attend PMP.
"I go to lunch and can tell who had a rough morning, who had a good morning and who practiced without success," she says. "I'm able to keep my finger on each kid." And if a student isn't getting it, Toby Perlman looks to her faculty.
Each student has a fellow, or mentor, and there are fellows' meetings daily to discuss the student's progress and to keep tabs. The nurturing program fits the mold she would have wanted during the time of her musical education.
Perlman has made it her mission to ensure these students have the opposite experience she had studying violin. In fact, her life revolves around the success of PMP's students. So much so, that her daily routine is to sleep, PMP and eat (if she's not so busy she forgets to eat). A few weekends ago, she worked all Saturday then went straight to PMP's alumni's concert.
"We don't have time to see our friends, because our lives are filled with PMP," she says. "If you love what you do, it's not so bad."

I'm going to start a new thing called Therapeutics Thursdays where I spout knowledge at you and probably take unnecessary jabs at Dr. Oz.
He's right about 50% of the time, I'll give him that.
Actually today we're going to talk about marijuana.
On Tuesday, I presented this article to my public health class, and today we had a simply riveting debate in our substance abuse class about the uses of medical marijuana. It's been a grand old time!
So the article really highlights more of the prosecution of possession in Indiana, which fascinates me because if you read carefully: a commission of judges, prosecutors, probation officers, and a bunch of people who know what they're talking about looked at Indiana's criminal code for 3 years and presented their recommendations to lower penalties, save some money, and do some community programming and treatment for people they catch. And Gov. Pence (aka the white-haired Frisch's Big Boy)–
–thinks status quo is working just dandy.
It's a cool read.
Anyway I found this awesome DEA fact sheet on the complete opposite spectrum if you're interested in that.
Unfortunately I'd have to practically write a dissertation to really get this topic started. If you ask me, I think Indiana lawmakers are on to something at least to the effect that throwing people in jail isn't really an effective way to deal with this particular substance.
And that's a wrap for our first Therapeutics Thursday! Next week I'll talk about diabetes or red yeast rice or something.

and im not trying to argue we are kicking around ideas. I really am not convinced that that our government had nothing to do with 911. There are a lot of things that dont add up to me. So i guess im not sure.
It's way more important that most care to accept, they'd rather want to believe the Lie. There's just way too many holes in the official story for it to be even a bit realistic.
Some have a vested interest in the Official Story, that's obvious and can't be denied.I can't look at Building 7 coming down and swallow NIST'S reasons why without laughing. It's ridiculous the stuff they come up with.
They did it to justify the upcoming business in the middle east. Many people are afraid to think about the Government having a hand in it, they would rather believe that they couldn't or wouldn't ever do something like that. I completely understand that line of thought. My problem is/are all of the holes in their story and the massive effort to control and remove much from the public domain in regard to those towers. It's a huge red flag to me.

"This year's 100 Top Hospitals represent the highest national standards in hospital care and management today. They set the benchmarks for peers around the country to follow — consistently delivering outstanding quality of care, satisfaction, and community value at a reasonable cost," said Jean Chenoweth, senior vice president for performance improvement and the 100 Top Hospitals® program at Truven Health Analytics. "The majority of the 2014 award winners have produced year-to-year performance improvement, as well. This speaks to the consistent focus on excellence by the entire organization and the men and women who serve patients." The study shows that if all hospitals in the U.S. performed at the level of this year's winners: Nearly 165,000 additional lives could be saved Nearly 90,000 additional patients could be complication-free More than $5.4 billion could be saved The average patient stay would decrease by half a day More information on the 100 Top Hospitals study is available at 100tophospitals.com.

So, what does putting cowboy boots on, grabbing a wine glass and gettin' on a horse in the Willamette Valley have to do with each other? A wine tour by horseback! At Equestrian Wine Tours near Abbey Road Farm in the heart of wine country, you can actually go wine tasting at several wineries on the back of a Tennessee Walking Horse. I have heard of taking a limo and even assigning a dear friend as the "designated driver" while wine tasting but a wine tasting tour by horseback? A totally different kind of tasting experience. A good soak in a big hot tub of water in an Oregon Bed & Breakfast would end that kind of day perfectly.
Abbey Road Farm is an Oregon Bed and Breakfast Guild inn and is probably one of the most unique inns I have read about. Sitting on 82 acres in Carlton, Oregon, Abbey Road Farm Bed and Breakfast "Silo Suites" offers an Oregon Bed & Breakfast experience like no other with old grain silo's converted in to guest suites. I have the pleasure of visiting this Oregon lodging facility next week and am looking forward to seeing the suites, the farm, the animals and taking a long walk through the cherry orchard too.
Wine country here in the Willamette Valley has not only drawn those on horseback or limo but has become thee up and coming wine region in the U.S. Most of us that are lucky enough to live here know all of this and love knowing that we are in the heart of "the place for pinot." And, also according to Shermanstravel.com, the Willamette Valley is considered one of the 10 hot spots of 2009. About an hour from Portland and on the banks of the Willamette River sit well over 200 wineries in the heart of which is soon becoming the next Napa Valley. Affordability, award winning wine, regional cuisine and culinary experiences, along with tours of working vineyards and local inns, have made for a perfect pairing and who wouldn't want to vacation or staycation here?
A few days at Abbey Road Farms, wine tasting by horseback and a taste of all that is fertile and good in the valley. Who could ask for a more perfect vacation!

Wealden Website Usability Survey
Website Usability Survey Background
At the end of last year, Wealden launched our new, restructured website. After taking suggestions from the public and staff we reorganised the content of the website and incorporated new features such as the Online Task Directory.
We are now seeking your help to assess the changes we've made and identify further improvements. We are asking members of the public to take part in an online Website Usability Survey.
We are seeking your comments and evaluation of the new website from the user's perspective. We would therefore be grateful if you would take part in this survey, the results of which will help us ensure that the new website is structured and designed to be as user-friendly as possible.
The Wealden Website Usability survey will be open for you to take part until 28th February 2011.
How the Survey Works
We have split this survey into a number of parts to enable you to complete each section at your convenience.
Section A enables you to tell us about yourself and why (or if) you use the Council's website. Completing Section A should take less than 5 minutes.
Section B contains seven activities. Each activity has been placed in a separate survey to enable you to complete each one at a time that suits you.
Each activity will ask you to visit a different part of the website. Please perform each task in the activity, then return to the survey to answer the questions and make comments.
Each activity in Section B should take between 5 - 20 minutes to complete.
Section C allows you to comment on your experience of using the new website and make some comparisons to the old one.
The usability survey results will be most useful if you can complete all the activities and sections of the survey, however, if you only have time to complete one or two activities the results will still be valuable to us.
Once you complete each part of the survey, you will be taken back to this page to select the next section.
Please answer the questions in the following surveys, giving as many comments as you can.
There are no right or wrong answers. The aim of this survey is not to test the skills of the users participating, but to collect information about how easy or difficult the site is to use and understand. In particular, we want to know of any difficulties you experience while using the site.
The results will be posted on our website once they have been collated and analysed.

Stars shine in Cooperstown
By Craig Muder
The All-Star Game came to Cooperstown on Tuesday night.
Close to 200 fans packed the Baseball Hall of Fame's Grandstand Theater for the annual All-Star Gala. They watched the broadcast of the 80th Major League Baseball All-Star Game — a 4-3 American League victory — while sitting in the same building where baseball's memories live forever.
For some fans, the All-Star Gala was part of the trip of a lifetime. Amy and Traci Juhala gave their father Curt Juhala a Hall of Fame Membership for Christmas, then traveled with their dad from Bismarck, N.D., to visit the Hall of Fame for the first time.
"It just happened that we were here at the All-Star Game, so it was great we could come and watch the game," said Amy Juhala, who was dressed in Minnesota Twins' gear along with her sister and father. "Cooperstown is lovely, and the Hall of Fame is great. Dad just loves baseball."
But the event also attracted local fans like Corinne Hillman, who lives in Cooperstown and works for the Hall of Fame's education department.
"I buy tickets for every event here," said Hillman, who was the first in line at the Grandstand Theater on Tuesday night. "I love teaching and I love baseball — what's a better job than that?"
Craig Muder is director of communications for the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum.

The first truffles of the season passed through my hands just days ago, and I could not resist. These redolent fungi captivate me and I needed my own magnificent mushroom to play with!
Weekends in Alba, Italy are abuzz this autumn with celebration of what has been reported as the best white truffle harvest of the 21st century. The climate was perfect – neither too hot, nor too cold – and the soil provided an impeccable environment for growth, with just the right amount of moisture. (more…)

Lasciel, She Who Mars the Skin of Gods
Lasciel, She Who Mars the Skin of Gods
"There is no salvation without destruction, no hope this side of death."
"What was Exalted is cast down; what was cast down is raised up. Order burns to clear our path."
Name: She Who Mars the Skin of Gods
Alias: Lasciel
Title: Lady of Darkhallow
Previous Name: Mierin Tomanelle
Exaltation: Abyssal Caste: Dusk Liege: Eye and Seven Despairs
Motivation: To cast down and kill all of the traitorous gods and elementals (especially those who abandoned her tribe in its hour of need)
Life; Cold and Hard, but Life:
Death, The Beginning of the End:
Twisted, Broken, Remade:
Princess of Death:
Clarification: Personally, Lasciel has no desire to kill mortals or undo Creation; her only qualms are with the gods and spirits of the world, whom she aims to kill one by one until there are no deceivers left. The lure of Oblivion is sweet to her, due to the harshness of the life in the north, but she does not actively seek it out outside of her given missions. Of course, though, she has no problems with killing mortals and undoing the works of Creation on necessity (when she is on a mission, for example, or when that path is easier).
Idea: One idea to ease the group dynamics due to my character being an Abyssal Exalted is one of the Lunar Exalted characters (if their player agree) to be the Lunar Mate of Lasciel's tainted Solar Exaltation. If that's the case, it would be much easier to deal with protecting life (ie. the group), since Resonance does not apply to Lunar Mates; even better if both characters had a positive Intimacy.

Simulation Helps Solve Difficult Thermal Challenge in Tower Mounted Amplifier
April 2008
Thermacore used Flomerics' FloTHERM thermal simulation software to solve a challenging thermal management problem in a tower mounted amplifier (TMA) for a cellular base station. Thermal simulation showed that the heat from the 1 by 1.5 inch amplifier chips did not spread out sufficiently to utilize the full extent of the heat sink, causing the chips to overheat. The problem was addressed by adding a vapor chamber to each chip to reduce the spreading resistance and utilize the full extent of the heatsink. The simulation showed this approach reduced the temperature at the base of the heat sink to acceptable levels.
Thermal challenge in cellular base station
Matt Connors, Applications Engineering Supervisor for Thermacore, said that in the past the company would have used a spreadsheet to evaluate the design. "But for the last several years we have used thermal simulation software to evaluate nearly every thermal management challenge provided by our customers," Connors said. "This method requires far fewer assumptions and provides much more accurate results than we were ever able to obtain with a spreadsheet. Accuracy is critical in thermal design because our customers want to know what will and won't work as quickly as possible so they can get their product into manufacturing and start generating revenues."
"When we first decided to use thermal simulation we polled our customers and asked them which software package they would like to have us use," Connors said. "They said that they preferred FloTHERM over the other leading thermal simulation packages. They use FloTHERM themselves so they have confidence in its predictions and can easily incorporate our models into their full system models. Since we began using FloTHERM we have been very impressed with its ability to accurately simulate thermal management challenges. On average, our simulation results predict real-world measurements within 5%."
The simulation results showed that the vapor chamber efficiently spread the heat across the full width of the heatsink so that each of the fins was fully utilized. This reduced the temperatures at the base of the heat sink to acceptable levels. Thermacore built a physical model consisting of a heat source equivalent to a single RF amplifier chip and the vapor chamber and the third of the heat sink that cools this chip. As usual, the physical testing results matched the simulation results within 5%. The improved cooling enables more powerful amplifiers to be placed in compact enclosures.
"This application demonstrates how simulation provides a competitive advantage to thermal solutions companies that are experienced in its use," Connors concluded. "Simulation is much more accurate than conventional formula-driven thermal engineering methods and also takes less time. So we can investigate more design alternatives with a very high level of confidence in the accuracy of the results. Thermacore's strength is not in selling metal by the pound but rather in the design expertise that we deliver to our customers. Our expertise in thermal simulation plays a key role in meeting and exceeding our customers' expectations."

Anyone out there know how to win a game of Clue?
Thursday, January 10, 2013
My family and I got Clue for Christmas, and we've played it a few times already. No one has won yet.
From there, we took turns visiting each room in the mansion and asking such accusatory questions as "Was it Miss Scarlet in the garage with a candlestick?" to the player on our left. In my case, that was Valerie, and if Valerie had any one of the three about which I asked, then she had to privately show me the card so that I could check it off my list and eliminate it from the mystery.
Back to our game.
Valerie handed me the little envelope containing the three mystery cards. With considerable suspense, I slowly opened it and pulled out the cards.
So, see, no one won. Since then, Maddie and Valerie have played the game a few more times, but no one has won those matches, either. In those cases, I'm unaware of what the problems were. I can only vouch for that first game we all played. |
