A New Car for Benin
The high-powered TWR transmitter station in Benin reaches a potential audience of 190 million people in the countries of Benin, Togo, Niger, Cote d'Ivoire, Nigeria, Ghana, Burkina Faso and Mali. The transmitter station is located 30km from the nearest town, and staff often have to travel great distances on bad roads to the airport or meet with various officials and government staff. There are also many visitors to the station from TWR, volunteers, and visiting missionaries, and staff often assist with transportation.
Urban Hour "Finest Show in Africa"
Two years ago, Adam Rozanas asked TWR to let him produce Urban Hour, a weekly hip hop / rap show. His supervisor eventually agreed and gave it a late night time slot, simulcast on TWR-Malawi FM and DStv. God used it to reach hearts and change lives and it will continue thanks to Lebo Borole now that Adam is about to return to his native USA.
Adam met Mbongiseni, a faithful listener, 31 October at TWR's transmitter site during our 40th anniversary celebrations in Swaziland.
Letter from Afar Helped Him Hold Fast: A Story of Hope
Language: English
Country: Ethiopia
In a desk in an Addis Ababa office sits a 23-year-old letter that changed lives.
The letter belongs to Wakshuma Terefe, and he unfolded it recently and told his story to TWR Ministry Relations Director Joe Fort, who was visiting Ethiopia on business. Today, Wakshuma is head of electronic media for the Ethiopian Evangelical Church's communication service – a partner of TWR – and the letter is partly responsible for that fact.
Extending the Hand of Friendship Amid Persecution: A Story of Hope
Language: Arabic
Country: Egypt
In Egypt it is mandatory for young men to serve in the military for three years. Almost from the start of his service after college, Hussein was drawn to a group of fellow soldiers who were different and had a deep belief in God. They even bore without retaliating the humiliation and persecution from those in charge because of their faith.
"I pray for TWR Staff", says ardent listener
By Patrick Semphere
"In this village, you have a faithful listener. You need to visit him." These were the words that prompted me to visit Mason Mangumba for the first time at his humble home in Chakachadza Village in Dedza district in Malawi. He had an old rundown radio set with reception that was reduced to a crackle. I promised to replace his radio set and did just that a month later. During my most recent visit, it was clear that he cherishes this link to the word of life.

The year was 1976, and Joe Markham was working on his VW Bus. His German shepherd, Fritz, was chewing on rocks. The two had no idea that they were about to irrevocably alter the dog chew-toy world. But the moment Markham threw a chunk of the transmission to distract his dog from grinding his teeth to nubs, Fritz gave up rocks forever to chew on the dense rubber cone, which was soon dubbed Kong. More than a quarter-century later, the Golden-based Kong Company has cranked out millions of the toys, which are essentially the same VW part Fritz enjoyed in 1976. And while canines are still attracted to old-fashioned novelties such as rope bones, rawhide chews and tennis balls, Kong has found a home in the grip of Fidos and Fifis across the county.

Energy Dept. IG Finds Conflicts of Interest in Nuke Clean-UpTweet
November 9, 2012
Government investigators have uncovered conflicts of interest among the contractors working on a multi-billion dollar effort to decontaminate and decommission two of the nation's nuclear weapons sites.
Contractors at plants in Piketon, Ohio, and in Oak Ridge, Tenn., were overseeing work by subcontracting companies in which they hold a financial interest, according to a report from the Department of Energy (DOE) Inspector General.
According to federal and DOE regulations, this arrangement means the contractors are "unable to render impartial assistance or advice to the government," and their "objectivity in performing the contract work is or might be otherwise impaired," the report said.
The investigation found that contractor Restoration Services Inc. (RSI) was overseeing the work of subcontractor VETCO at both nuclear sites, even though RSI holds a financial interest in VETCO.
RSI performs "environmental restoration projects," including waste clean-up and solar energy development for the DOE, according to its website. VETCO specializes in "environmental services and staff augmentation," according to its website. Both are located in Oak Ridge, Tenn.
In a written response to the Inspector General's office, the manager of the project at the Portsmouth Gaseous Diffusion Plant in Ohio agreed to the Inspector General's recommendation to "implement the effective process to assist with identifying, avoiding or mitigating [conflicts of interest]."
"However, we think this recommendation should be directed towards all offices and field sites," and not just Portsmouth, the project manager wrote.
Additionally, the Inspector General's investigation found that a senior RSI official working on behalf of contractor URS CH2M Oak Ridge (UCOR) on the project at the Oak Ridge Reservation in Tennessee "was in a position to review and approve work performed by the senior official's employer, RSI."
UCOR is a partnership of URS and CH2M Hill, both of which have served as contractors on numerous Department of Energy projects.
The manager of the Oak Ridge project denied a conflict of interest in a written response to the Inspector General.
The Portsmouth plant in Ohio is a former site of enriched uranium production for use in nuclear weapons, military nuclear reactors and commercial nuclear reactors, according to the facility's website. The Oak Ridge Reservation houses three DOE nuclear facilities. In 1989, the Environmental Protection Agency named Oak Ridge one of its "national priorities" for radioactive clean-up.
The current effort to decontaminate and decommission Portsmouth and Oak Ridge is estimated to cost $4.3 billion and take five years to complete, according to the Inspector General report.

U.S. fuel consumption in July reached the highest level for the month in three years, the American Petroleum Institute said.
U.S. fuel consumption edged higher in January from a year earlier, as winter storms curbed demand growth, according to the American Petroleum Institute.
U.S. fuel consumption in May increased to the highest level for the month since 2008 as the economy grew, the American Petroleum Institute said.
U.S. gasoline production climbed to an all-time high in April as fuel exports surged, the American Petroleum Institute said in a monthly report.
The U.S. oil industry, riding a domestic energy boom, is preparing to challenge restrictions on crude exports, possibly by arguing that limits designed to keep petroleum in America may violate international trade rules.
U.S. oil demand fell to the lowest level in 16 years in 2012 as economic growth weakened while domestic output surged the most in more than 150 years, the American Petroleum Institute said.
"The supply picture has improved thanks to horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing."

The Geography of Romance
How where you live affects your love life
But quality of life is more than just being financially secure. It's also about living in a community where your commute is easy, your friends are like-minded and you don't have to worry about factors such as crime, substance abuse and bad weather. (Is that too much to ask?)
In Richard Florida's 2008 book, Who's Your City, he psychologically profiles areas around the United States to determine the best places to live for your personality type. According to his research, although the areas around New York, Chicago and Pittsburgh offer myriad attractions, they are also the highest centers for neuroticism. But there's more. Florida also looked at areas where people were open to experience, a personality type that's associated with being creative, innovative and entrepreneurial (in other words, my kind of people). The regions that had the highest concentration of these open-to-experience individuals were in Austin, Los Angeles and the Bay Area, Seattle, southern Florida and... New York.

MIAMI (AP) — Heat president Pat Riley says he's as eager as anyone to get Miami's season of NBA championship expectations finally rolling.
In fact, Riley says he's even having trouble passing the time.
Riley says, "I'm actually bored stiff and I can't wait for it to start."
Riley said last season that Miami's plan for the long-awaited offseason of 2010 was "to build a dynasty." Step one in that process was convincing Dwyane Wade to re-sign, something that wouldn't have happened unless either two-time reigning NBA MVP LeBron James or Chris Bosh decided to join the Heat.
Riley, of course, landed both James and Bosh this summer, moves that immediately pushed Miami back into championship contention.
Miami opens training camp Sept. 28.

text: The Who Stole Flash's Super-Speed? wiki last edited by chalkshark on 10/01/13 04:08PM View full history Who Stole Flash's Super-Speed?Police forensics scientist Barry Allen, receives word that his girlfriend, Picture News reporter Iris West, is interviewing the Flash. Allen changes into his Flash costume to confront the imposter. Allen has difficulty getting into costume, then knocks himself out, running into the wall. Dazed and sprawled on the floor, the Flash realizes he's lost his super-speed powers. The Flash decides to confront the imposter anyway, as Allen. Arriving at the offices of Picture News, Allen is introduced to the Flash by West. At West's request, the Flash completes three feats of super-speed. Allan is amazed to discover that this Flash's super-speed surpasses his own.Back at police headquarters, Allen finds a mysterious woman waiting for him. It is Doralla Kon, an extra-dimensional alien from the planet Alkomar, a world where everyone possesses super-speed. It is Kon who has stolen Allen's super-speed. The man masquerading as the Flash is a criminal scientist from Alkomar, Korakar Lok. Using a device, called a Celeri-Nuller, Lok transferred the super-speed powers of Alkomar's entire populace into himself. The process, though, proved too much for Lok's muscles. Traveling to Earth, Lok took on the Flash's mantle to lure the real Flash to him. Lok intended to steal the Flash's super-speed to provide a stabilizer for the power he drew from the Alkomaran populace.By preemptively stealing the Flash's super-speed before he encountered Lok, Kon has thwarted Lok. Kon convinces Allen to come back to Alkomar with her, to destroy Lok's Celeri-Nuller. After Kon has returned his super-speed powers, Allen, as the Flash, storms Lok's stronghold. Lok's sentries are momentarily caught off guard by the Flash, believing him to be Lok. After a pitched combat, the Flash triumphs over Lok's three guards. Using an Alkomar weapon, the Flash destroys the Celeri-Nuller, returning the stolen super-speed powers to the planet's populace. The Flash returns to Earth, with Kon, and learns from West, that Lok has cut a path of destruction across the Earth.Lok is desperate to draw out the Flash, so that he can steal his super-speed, with the portable celeri-nuller, hidden behind his chest insignia. The Flash races to California, to confront Lok. Vibrating his molecules into an intangible state, the Flash hides inside a tree, then strikes as Lok passes. With his first strike, the Flash destroys Lok's portable celeri-nuller. Though Lok still possess greater speed, the Flash's greater experience allows him to outmaneuver and, eventually, overcome Lok. Kon draws out the rest of Lok's super-speed, and returns him to Alkomar. The Flash hopes that the next time he encounter Kon will be under happier circumstances.The Day Flash Aged 100 Years!Looking to forcibly retire the Flash in his prime, the Top steals a vial of a rapid aging serum. The next day, the Top steals one of the Mirror Master's looking glass weapons, from an exhibit at the Flash Museum. The Top leaves behind a taunting note, daring the Flash to stop his crime spree. The Top strikes again, at the Flash Museum, but this time the Flash is on hand to stop him. Quickly the Top detonates the top grenade filled with the rapid aging serum. In a matter of seconds, the Flash grows extremely old. After belting the aged Flash into unconsciousness, the Top escapes.The Flash, though, actually vibrated his molecules into an intangible state, allowing the rapid aging serum to pass harmlessly through him. With the theatrical help of the Flash Museum's curator, Dexter Myles, the Flash used old age make-up to fake the transformation. Still pretending to be extremely old, the Flash tries, and fails, to stop the Top's next robbery. On their next encounter, though, the Flash turns the tables on the Top. The Flash undergoes a bizarre rapid evolution, seemingly brought on by the spinning vibrations of the Top's weapons.With his newly evolved psychic abilities, the Flash thwarts the Top's robbery. Using a holographic Top projector, the Top flees. The Top is just about to expose himself to the rapid aging serum, to then evolve as the Flash has, when the Flash snags the vial from him. After beating down the Top, and carrying him off to jail, the Flash relays the secrets of his "evolved" powers to Myles. The Flash Museum curator now has a new Flash tale to share with his patrons.

Google cripples Chromecast third party replay
Re: Crippleware
None of the marketed feature have been crippled.
Re: Hanlon's razor
#3 they made some changes which did not affect advertised features and everyone got their knickers in a twist over nothing.
"I, and a few other developers, managed to reverse engineer the Chromecast tab protocol to piggy back this to deliver local content."
They never advertised it as being able to stream local content other than through Chrome.
Re: Idiots.
You don't need an Android device.
I get better quality through streaming and it's a lot less hassle.
They weren't using the SDK, they reverse engineered the device. They are allowed to use the SDK.
Some people think it's acceptable to use undocumented features and the manufacturer should subsequently be compelled to support those features.
Re: Remember the good old days?
Google ads are still unobtrusive! They don't put ads in Netflix on Chromecast, so do you think that will also get the chop? In fact, the only thing to get the chop is an undocumented API which delivered unadvertised functionality. There was nothing stopping them playing an advert before any locally stored video if they really wanted to, but that's not what Chromecast is about.
They were not prevented from injecting ads into any content which passes through Chromecast. This move actually gives them fewer opportunities to make money or track you!
Your hatred is invalid. Have anther go.
Re: Ah...
You don't have to use Chrome, you can use the IOS or Android app instead.
Re: Would you buy...
Chromecast was advertised as being able to stream from providers such as Pandora and Netflix, or from Chrome. After "the wheel was removed" it can stream from providers such as Pandora and Netflix, or from Chrome. The functionality you can no longer do was provided by 3rd party developers after Chromecast was reverse engineered.
So a better analogy would be...
Buying Google Chromecast is like buying a new car, where after the first 100 km it does exactly what it says on the tin, but the seat cover you bought doesn't fit.
That's the truth, but it doesn't mean you have to stop hating Google (so no rabid downvoting please).
Hacktivists boast of English Defence League KO after website downed
Re: @moiety
That's not what I meant. If people think it's wrong to marry gay people, eat pork or drink alcohol then they should not marry gay people, eat pork or drink alcohol. But if they think murder is ok they should leave or comply. If they want to live under Sharia we shouldn't stop them, but we should stop them making laws based on religions and forcing them on other people. That's the only sense in which Sharia should be opposed.
Re: @moiety
Have you tried saying No to English law?
If people want to operate under whatever laws they think a deity has given them they should be allowed to do that. Basically we need secularism, but Baroness Warsi, Eric Pickles, various newspapers etc think secularism is a threat. They are no different essentially from people wanting to establish Sharia.

The stance is "Google is doing what they said they would do and what users agreed to". Feel sorry for all the haters, having to hate no matter what innocent things Google does.

Does Gmail's tarted-up tab makeover bust anti-spam laws?
Re: Mail protocol not used
From a comment in the link on the Reg article:
"Per 15 USC 7702 sec.(3)(6), "[t]he term 'electronic mail message' means a message sent to a unique electronic mail address." Pretty vague definition."
I expect the ads are being sent to a Google Account rather than a Gmail address, which would make them no different to ads you see on other websites. Having them look and function like an email is interesting (I've not enabled the new style tabs myself to experience this) but unless they're permanent I don't see a problem. If the same advert is there when you log out and log in again, then I'd call it an email and suggest the law needs updating. The same goes for if they get downloaded to mail clients.
Re: Optional... for now
The action bar used to take up more space than the search bar does now, so you've actually got more area dedicated to the map in this version than in previous versions, and especially so on tablets.

Re: "Standards-Essential Patents"
The SEP creator has to license the technology instead of using it to enforce a monopoly. And they have to do so at a reasonable price. So a few options have been removed from the inventor's side. On the assembler's side, there is no requirement to use the technology. They can adopt a competing standard (CDMA v GSM for example) or they can invent something of their own.
Re: @aj87
"it is neither fair nor non-discriminatory for the holder of the FRAND-encumbered patent to require licenses to non-FRAND-encumberd patents as a condition for licensing its patent" (emphasis his)."

I used RT in John Lewis. Apart from some janking in the Bing app (and the fact there is a Bing app) I was impressed. When you understand what they're doing it makes a lot of sense, but that's where the marketing department should do its job.
Re: Have you actually used a surface RT?
Reported for abuse. El Reg forum rules clearly state that any comment on a Microsoft product should be "criticism from a position of ignorance".
Re: Where have all the visionaries gone?
Surface RT is much cheaper than an Ultrabook (even before the discounts) and is not a laptop replacement; Surface Pro is not mediocre. What are you talking about?
Apple is rumoured to be working on a 13" ipad. My suspicion is that this will combine tablet and desktop modes, at which point everyone will say that having a tablet and desktop on the same hardware is the ideal form factor.
It's already an ideal when it comes to Ubuntu - a phone which you can dock and use as a full pc is a wet dream for many people. But a tablet which you can dock and use as a full pc, like Asus's successful Transformer range? Oh no, that's a Microsoft FAIL!
Let's face it, people just don't like Microsoft even when they make what are essentially decent products, and a distant 3rd-place platform struggling to get decent apps is a hard option to choose.
Re: Too bad
The Start screen is not the problem, and nor is not being able to run Windows software. This is a TABLET so should be compared to the ipad, which doesn't have a desktop mode and can't run mac software.
People don't expect to run legacy stuff on Windows phone so why should they expect to do so on a Windows tablet? Maybe it's because there is a sort-of-desktop mode on Surface RT for MS Office. Instead of the Start screen being the problem, the desktop mode is the problem - remove that and even the most ignorant commentard would understand what this product is.
Banknote campaigner's Twitter rape threats ordeal: Bloke, 21, cuffed
Re: Rape threats?!
A cooking appliance reference is a rape threat.
Why do people not take this stuff seriously?
Don't blame the victim.
The nasty women are proposing that there should be a place for women instead of for more notable men - they want men removed because of their gender. In the BBC's 100 greatest britons, the public selected 12 women in the top 100. So with 4 bank notes and a democratic selection system it's fair to assume there would be no women on the bank notes 50% of the time. Do you think the misandrists would accept that as equality? It's not equality when people are promoted because of their gender! If the women on the BBC list are evenly distributed then you'd have to go to number 208 to get the 25th woman, who would be treated as being equal to the 75th placed man, who is 86th on the list.
I'm no misogynist and why does my spellcheck not think misandry is a word? Smash the feminarchy!
that's more than 160 characters, but I didn't need to rage.
What rape stuff? I looked for it and didn't find any. Even on the blog posts with screenshots of the abuse there was no "rape stuff".
We should have scientists on the money to encourage people to respect scientists, farmers on the money to encourage people to respect farmers, transsexuals on the money to highlight their contribution to society, etc. But there is a limited number of places and if we deselect notable people simply because they weren't transsexual, that's not equality.
It's not about equality though, it's about ensuring women take up 25% of the places even though fewer than 25% of qualified people may be women. It doesn't matter that 51% of the population is female or that 6% is muslim or 10% is black or gay, in an EQUAL society we should select people based on their characters rather than their characteristics. Feminazi because they select for characteristics rather than for virtues alone.
There are some men less worthy of contention than other men, and some women less worthy than men. When there is a rule discriminating in favour of women, men will be overlooked. Your refusal to acknowledge this fact sums up everything we need to know about you.
Typical! Google's wonder-dongle is a solution looking for a problem
Re: DRM
Chromecast does tap into the Play Store! You can own or rent movies (and TV in the States) and you can upload your own music collection to play via Chromecast. Being able to upload DVDs in the same way would be great (they'd use their matching service rather than upload 4Gb I hope).
Dongles all round
If everything is a dongle then the remote control is a dongle. Most are awful but Chromecast doesn't have one, so Chromecast wins.
Why should the Premier League have to go through broadcasters to get to users? (Broadcasters are just another dongle!) With Chromecast it doesn't - it could stream direct to the consumer. So for a £20 (or so) up-front cost and a payment per game we could get all the football we want. For consumers to get the same thing via Sky, BT and whatever other rights buyers there are, what's the up-front investment, is there a subscription, what do they pay per game and what would their TV stands look like with all those boxes? A service which lets content creators cut out the middle man would give us a wider selection at a lower cost, would it not? And it would be a dongle.
Google menaces Apple's 3-year-old toddler with its cheap stream tech
Some things work well on a tablet and others work well on a TV. So instead of looking at specs and functionality you should consider what people actually want to do with each device. For an app with a UI of any level of complexity (eg it requires text input or button presses) a TV interface is bad enough that people would choose a tablet instead. But for watching movies a TV is best, and if the button pressing can be moved to a more suitable device then all the better.
So you can get an Android dongle and install a note-taking app from the play store, but what's the point? The netflix app is more suitable to the form factor but you'd have to type your login details, scroll through menus and select your content with the TV remote control. That's no better than current smart TVs. Using the netflix app on your tablet and watching the content on your TV is pretty much ideal.
Re: Ads
Watch an ad-free service (eg netflix, youtube* or google play movies) if you don't want to see ads in the stream. In fact, that's exactly what you can do with chromecast!
*I've never seen an ad when streaming youtube to my tv. Not sure why that's the case and I don't expect it to last. They have big plans for content on youtube, with rumours of subscription-based services but there might be ad-supported ones too.
Re: Meh
You can't have read very much about this if you think it streams the videos from your phone! It streams from the internet, the phone just tells it what to stream.
I've connected computers to the TV too; had them open on the floor plugged in to the TV's serial port and my amp. It's a really bad solution compared with a wireless stream which actually allows you to use your laptop for something else or turn it off completely...for the cost of a decent HDMI cable.
Re: DLNA
The screen mirroring (it handles both tabs and full desktop) is the beta product whereas the casting of youtube, netflix etc is the main selling point (and is not in beta, contrary to the article). Mirroring is proper mirroring, the URL flinging is for the youtube/netflix functionality.

Study finds fertilisation destabilises grassland ecosystems
Story supplied by LU Press Office
Fertilisers from farming and industry are having a destabilising effect on global grassland ecosystems, according to new research published in Nature.
An international team including Lancaster University and led by the University of Minnesota, found that plant diversity in natural ecosystems creates more stable ecosystems over time because of less synchronised growth of plants.
But the researchers also found that grassland diversity and stability are reduced when fertiliser is added.
Fertilisers are intentionally used in grassland to increase livestock fodder. Fertiliser addition is also occurring unintentionally in many places around the world because nitrogen, a common fertiliser, is released into the atmosphere from farming, industry, and burning fossil fuels.
Rainfall brings nitrogen out of the atmosphere and on to grasslands, changing the growth and types of plant species. This study placed measured amounts of fertiliser on a portion of their research sites and measured the changes that ensued.
Researchers found that the stabilising effect of species diversity was lost resulting in more synchronised growth of plants and a less stable ecosystem.
Dr Carly Stevens, of Lancaster University's Lancaster Environment Centre, manages one of the experimental sites, located in Lancashire.
She said: "This research shows the serious negative effect that fertilisers can have on natural plant communities. Understanding this is really important because the use of fertilisers and the addition of nitrogen in the form of atmospheric pollution are very widespread."
The study was made possible due to the formation of the Nutrient Network, also known as NutNet. It is a grassroots campaign supported by scientists who volunteer their time and resources. There are now 75 sites around the world that are run by more than 100 scientists participating in the NutNet experiment.
NutNet scientists collected data for this study for three years, measuring plant growth in 41 sites on five continents, so the researchers feel confident that their results have global applications.

Coke kicks off 'big year' with healthy-living World Cup message
Coca-Cola is planning to use its sponsorship of the World Cup to push its global sustainability campaign, encouraging consumers to live healthier and more active lifestyles.
Coca-Cola: Daniel Sturridge and Christian Karembeu at the World Cup trophy tour
The brand last week brought its World Cup trophy tour to the UK, with the trophy shown in London at an event attended by Liverpool and England striker Daniel Sturridge and retired French World Cup-winner Christian Karembeu.
Speaking to Marketing at the event, Coca-Cola's GB and Ireland marketing activation director Brid Drohan-Stewart said: "It's the kick-off of a very big year for us, and the trophy tour is the first of a big plan for GB.
"The brand is embedded in optimism, specialness and happiness – that's the DNA of the Coca-Cola brand, and you can see from the buzz today that that's what the trophy tour does. It taps into the 'goosebump' feeling that only the World Cup brings."
She added that Coke is gearing up for a bigger "conversation" with consumers around its "Movement is Happiness" global sustainability programme.
Drohan-Stewart said: "Getting people moving in life is a really important part of our marketing campaigns going forward, and we've committed globally to getting more teenagers and young people active.
"As we go through the year you'll see this conversation all about active lifestyles, and football is a really great way of doing that."

In 1961 man was in the kitchen at the Good Housekeeping Institute. And doesn't he look sharp. Not a spot of grease on that pullover.
This guide is printed on magazine paper and is nothing elaborate. But it is oozing meaty content. 'A practical guide for any man who cooks for himself – whether from necessity or from choice.' Subjects covered had robust titles like: 'the tools for the job', 'man-sized meals', 'bachelor entertaining' and 'out of the tin or deep-freeze.'
As the guide was a co-production with the Gas Council, the lovely Mr Therm character is illustrated on most pages; holding the menu, popping out of a tin and holding serving dishes.
The photos, most in full colour, are lovely and credited to one Kenneth Swain, who seems to have been quite the food photographer. Front and back cover and one page inside (seen below eating fried breakfast on his Poole pottery) show us sharp dressed young men cooking and eating most earnestly. The double page centre spread, on the other hand, is a full colour picture of a dish of ham and pineapple coming out of the cooker.
And in case we imagined otherwise, Man in the Kitchen reminds us man meals in 1961 were meat based; morning, noon and night.
A lot of the things on these shelves are of Finnish origin. So a long weekend in Helsinki was always a pleasing idea. Rolling around in their design heritage was the plan.
Iittala, Arabia, Fiskars, Marimekko and the rest. I live with bits and pieces of this Finnish stuff every day. And me, I always want to see where they made it. After that I want to see where they sell it. And if there is a museum where they exhibit it, even better. London has several Finnish design shops so I'm quite spoilt. But nothing on the scale of Helsinki. The iittala covered whole walls there. There was a Marimekko department store (or what felt like one) and even the hotel had stacks of Kaj Franck pottery in the breakfast room and iittala glasses in the bathrooms. Almost design obscene it was.
And whilst Helsinki effortlessly embraces their lovely design heritage, the seeing of it was something we should have made more of an effort to plan. Pre-booking of factory tours was compulsory and odd opening times were ubiquitous. We missed the summer opening times bonanza and became the tourists that just missed it.
The city itself was hard to love in some ways – not my taste in architecture, all that grand stuff. Not built on a pedestrian scale. And built a little bit, it seemed to me, with it's back to the lovely surrounding waters.
But it was no hardship at all to tram it to, and worship at the gates of, the Arabia factory. All my Franck pottery came from there. And to squeak in delight at the pots on show in the delightfully dusty Arabia Museum that we had to ourselves. Is there anything more lovely than a factory building? One that is still in use?
Shelf Appeal doesn't contain a lot of American graphics and design. It's a world of nice things I know very little about. And because I don't know the material, researching becomes so much harder to kickstart. I have no sense of this person did this so that person might have done the other. But some few bits and pieces – usually related to American department store history – have snuck on to the shelf.
This beautifully preserved fold out advertisement for a men's shoe sale at Lord & Taylor has had me on a chase across the big old internet. As Lord & Taylor told me they knew nothing about any archive of theirs.
I thought this card was from the 1910's. The layout, text and typography said it was so. Even if the illustration was rather more modern looking. Clicking about I came across the work of the American illustrator Coles Phillips, known for his use of 'negative space', which made me think. That chair our chap is sat on is very nearly a use of negative space, most unusual and distinctive. Phillips designed some beautiful magazines covers but I found nothing to connect him to Lord & Taylor. Yet chances are he might still have designed this; those department stores were no slouches when it came to using the commercial artists of the moment.
I did manage to date this to 1914 from a newspaper advert in the New York Tribune of that year, though. Which made me happy. All hail the Google search.
Whoever drew it – it is a cracker. The young man is owning his shoes, bowler and everything in between. And the way the slight sway of his walking stick echoes the curve of the chair. Joy.
You wouldn't have to click far through Shelf Appeal to spot the toys. Toys r us. The arrival of a new book (an equal favorite thing) about toys is as good as it gets. A smile for Swedish Wooden Toys, then.
The last toy book of substance to arrive on the shelf was the catalogue for the MoMA exhibition Century of the Child in 2012. Swedish Wooden Toys has a much tighter remit, yet its smaller geographical ground is approached in more interesting ways. Chapters on retailers and toys in Swedish photographs look especially tasty. That last because I have followed the Flickr group Playthings of the Past for a long time.
The Swedish wooden toys themselves are stunners, photogenic and completely moreish. I have a Brio toy I love longtime, a wooden stacking toy chef whose character is delivered through simple and beautiful design. And there are many more examples of that sort of winning toy formula in this thick juicy tome, most beautifully photographed.
The image of the two girls above, also in the book, is a beaut. From a photographer I have come across before – Gunnar Lundh. Look at those mini sledges for the toy rabbits. Just look.
I like a museum stuffed to the gunnels. Independent museums are often displayed that way. None of your curated cases with 3 things placed just so.
The Brighton Toy and Model Museum is tucked directly underneath the train station in a small claustrophobic space that is, indeed, packed to the gunnels. No visible space left. Meccano boxes double-stacked, Steiff animals sat on one another's laps, Pelham puppets vying for stage space. And even more display cases snuck in tightly underneath these, leaving hardly room for labels.
When I visited the museum there where a lot of men looking at trains. And there were a lot of model trains in the small space to look at. Some of them needed 10p before they would do anything. Alongside, underneath and probably behind the trains, lots of toy cars were piled into cases. And closing the space down even more, model airplanes flew low overhead.
I like other toys; toys with faces and toys that are small versions of bigger things. I like taking photographs of them. It keeps me quiet for hours. So I was in my element with all the dolls, puppets and lead toys. Some were fallen, some dusty, all rather melancholic, faded – like the museum itself.
But me, I like a crowded messy display case, musty if at all possible. I like the challenge of pulling out a detail to make a photograph. I have got pretty darn good at getting the glass out of the picture, as it were. And letting the surreal visual of a thing I have noticed come through.
It has been stamp week here at Shelf Appeal.
I've been ogling the suggestive stamps that have been released to celebrate Tom of Finland's work. I can't help wondering if they are stick-on or lickable stamps. And I can't help feeling we have somewhat lame stamp alternatives in Britain. Most of the time.
And then these super lovely little Red Riding Hood numbers appeared, a present from Present and Correct.
The Red Riding Hoods were part of a series of stamps based upon tales by the Brothers Grimm and were designed in 1960 by Hans Michel and Günther Kieser. Those two were cranking out stamp designs for the German Federal Post Office for years, as well as posters and what not for others. All in a very pleasing graphic style.
I had a thing for stamps as a child. My Galt Toy Post Office was laid out for business in my bedroom. And those free charity Christmas stamps that were posted through the door occasioned a little too much excitement.
Since then the stamps that most made me happy were the Michael Peters and Partners Ltd 1990 Smile series and Johnson Banks' interactive set of vegetables and stickers. I have a set of both, unused and unstuck. Small, splendid little graphic wonders.
Lastly, whilst I may be in danger of protesting too much, obviously all this does not a stamp collector make me. Obviously.
Books from one's childhood are incredibly evocative. At least they are for me. My mother was a primary school teacher, so we had books. We went to the library. Words and pictures, words and pictures.
I have maybe one or two books saved from being small. But some I have bought back again. As I was small in the late 1960s a lot of the books were published then. But some crept in from before, reprinted. Orlando's Evening Out of 1941 was one. Oh that gorgeous ginger cat. And then there was Tintin mania, that which I have written about elsewhere.
Rosie's Walk by Pat Hutchins was one of my childhood favourites. Beautiful ink illustrations of scenery and a fox and a hen called Rosie, all drawn slightly scandi in style. A lusciously tasteful sage colour palette. Not much text. It was her first book and although I haven't read them, she wrote and illustrated many more books. Hutchins had a Yorkshire childhood – during which she was 'encouraged by an elderly couple who would give her a chocolate bar for each picture she drew' – then travelled via Leeds College of Art to Bodley Head publishers in 1968.
In the late 1960s and 1970s the children's arm of Bodley Head were on a roll. Children's editor Judy Taylor was responsible for printing up my childhood. From Sendak's Where The Wild Things Are to the ever-hopeful fox out to catch Rosie. It may be a case of rose-coloured glasses here, I give you that, but these still look like corking children's books.
The original Rosie's Walk book has been squashed (and cropped) down into a Mini Treasures book. And odd things have been done to some of the typography. It's a nice trick for finding new audiences. But it's not the treasure that the original book was, with its unadulterated paperback cover, generous size and super clean layout. Letting the illustrations shine out over everything.
NB He didn't catch Rosie, of course he didn't.
The 'smooth to the sensitive skin' promise of this Meridian underwear booklet is borne out in a small sample of the fabric stuck on to the inside front page. So you can actually: 'Feel its fine and soft yet strong texture. Note that it is uniformly smooth both sides. Imagine the comfort and lasting satisfaction it will give you in the form of Underwear, Slumberwear or Bathing Wear.'
Underwear, indeed clothing, isn't often referred to as strong these days. Strong is no longer much of a selling property for clothing. We expect and get a little less wear out of things. Yet no other underwear than Meridian would give you 'such satisfaction and service.'
The cover of this little booklet is sweet. One can't help but wonder what they are reading together. Most likely something along the lines of those ubiquitous second-hand bookshop finds: Wonder Encyclopedia For Children. This particular Meridian booklet is stamped for a shop called Howell Bros, Penarth. The brisk coastal weather in Wales would suggest they probably sold quite a few pairs of these double knit singlets and combinations (available in short or long sleeves, ankle, short, drawer or trunk legs) to both fathers and sons.
Lastly, Shelf Appeal would just like to draw your attention to the lovely pullover pyjamas pictured at far right (below). As well as a snazzy black and white checked braid edge around the top, they were available in Sky, Mauve and Apricot. Super. The colours of the bathing costumes? We'll just have to use our imaginations.
Houses by Margaret and Alexander Potter is a lovely book. The cover isn't really a seller, too detailed and worthy in text and dull in colour to make you have to have it. But if you get past that, the super illustrations on the inside make it worth hanging around.
They must have printed a lot of copies this book. It's still pretty cheap, cheaper than the Potter's Puffin Picture book A History of the Countryside. Mine is a first edition from 1948. It smells divine and old bookish but has its dust wrapper 'intact' and is in nice condition overall, as the book sellers write.
It really is a bigger version of those Puffin books as far as content goes. Part of a series titled: The Changing Shape of Things, Houses is a 'story told mainly in drawings…houses shown actively occupied, and a significant part of the commentary consists in what the occupants are doing, as well as the clothes they wear and the furniture that surrounds them.'
The book starts with 'Early Mediaeval Homes of the Wealthy' and ends on 'A Borough Council Housing Estate 1947.' And the earlier social'commentary mutates into architectural technical writing by the end. Presumably because Alexander Potter was by now in his comfort zone and couldn't resist.
The drawings are very dolls-house like. My favourite, detailed here, is the isometric cut away of 'A Reinforced Concrete Framed House, 1939.' The man of the house is seen in his bentwood chair reading (Architectural Review?), an artist scratching his chin in his roof top studio, the ladies serving dinner (surely on a Ravilious design?) in their dining area, alongside a windowsill chock-a-block with architecturally sanctioned cacti. It all reminds me of Ernő Goldfinger's pad on Willow Road in Hampstead.
The husband and wife team of Margaret and Alexander Potter make for interesting reading, what reading there is about them. She the illustrator, he the architect, with some inevitable blurring of those boundaries as they lived and worked together.
Shelf Appeal finally got to the Jean Paul Gaultier exhibition at the Barbican. Having heard all about the mannequins with the video faces, I found myself quickly lost in the stitches.
Gaultier has long been up near the top of my designer list. More imaginative garments have come out of that man's head than many other designer's outputs combined. Tasteful cuts and silhouettes have been covered off by many an Italian designer. But fabric and decoration remain best done in the French frock houses. And Gaultier, picking up the (embroidered) gauntlet laid down by Schiaparelli in Paris all those decades ago, manipulates both with an eye to the surreal, subtle and (sometimes) couture sacrilegious.
This exhibition strides through the Gaultier years with gusto. It is an understated exhibition design (for these days) but the frocks are fabulous and cleanly displayed. The latter, sadly, a design technique much underrated. Contextual information is given with a light touch, videos nicely placed above the frocks, not interfering with the main event as it were. The crowd-pleasing video heads are a really good photo op, which exhibitions ignore these days at their own peril. But best of all most of the frocks are not in glass cases, so you can peer up close and personal.
Such far and near sightings are essential – Gaultier frocks work on two levels, the first showy impact and then, if you can get close, the magnificent details. The sometimes seemingly random yet planned with precision pinks, sequins, pleats, cords, bows and buttons. His layering makes me want to weep; ethnographic fabrics, fringes, feathers, skins all piled one upon the other for urban Anime ladies to wrap themselves up in. And then the treatments of simple things like net and denim, corsets, sailor pants.. Sigh.
All in all this is an old fashioned frock exhibition. And let's face it, if the frocks are good enough, you simply don't need to dress things up any further.

G-Unit's Lloyd Banks recently opened up about future collaborations he'd like to pursue and said he will never hop on a track with former group member Game.
Despite crushing fans hopes for a Game reunion, the "Punch Line King" revealed an interest in linking with Nas.
"No, I already knew what it was," Banks said when asked if he would ever do a reunion track with Game. "I've been doing this for ten years. No. [Collaborating with Nas?] I don't know. I'd be down for it though. Yeah. Nas is a legend. Happy birthday to him." (Sucker Free)
Last fall, Banks talked about possibly pairing up with Nas courtesy of Kanye West.
Lloyd Banks came up to the XXL offices this afternoon as the latest guest on our weekly Wednesday UStream show, Spotlight, and during the engaging interview he spoke on the possibility of he and 50 Cent rival Nas appearing together on one of Kanye West's upcoming G.O.O.D. Friday tracks. Banks said that he was in the studio with our October cover star two nights ago, along with John Legend and Kid Cudi and worked on two cuts–one for The Hunger for More 2 and one for 'Ye's upcoming, still unnamed LP. "The record I had did for Kanye, he was saying he was putting Nas on it, so you may be seeing that in the future," The Punchline King told XXLMag.com. (XXL Mag)
In addition to dissing Nas on "Piggy Bank," G-Unit's 50 Cent previously spoke on his issues with the fellow Queens, New York rapper.
"You know what, me and Nas, we was cool, we used to be good," Fif said in a 2005 interview. "I didn't understand his actions. The first thing that started feeling a little off with him was the Jennifer Lopez sh*t. I had done a record on the Jennifer Lopez album right and this after I got shot this is the first thing I'm doing trying to come back out. Irv [Gotti] was running around calling everybody and saying don't do business with these guys you do business with him we are not f*cking with you. At the time they were selling records so people weigh there value by what you can do for them and they were leaning towards Irv and them and they actually took me off the record and put Nas on the record cause she was on Columbia and Nas is on Columbia." (MTV)
In 2009, G-Unit producer DJ Whoo Kid said Nas used 50 Cent as an excuse to avoid being interviewed.
"I respect Nas and all the sh*t he's done," Kid explained. "But personally, what he did to me was p*ssy. It was a p*ssy thing. But I was telling [Rick Ross' baby's mother] Tia that, but the [online video footage] kept that. He refused to come on my show because of 50 Cent and he told my boy that. And my boy, I had my boy, I could understand if your A&R is playing around with me like 'I don't want to come to your show blah blah blah' but I had my boy personally go ask him and he personally said 'Nah I can't do it man, I just can't do it.' Well you know everybody on my show, I really wanted Nas on my show. I was with him even before the It Was Written and crap like, when he was beefing with Jay-Z I was there. I bought him the bean pie and all that stuff. If it wasn't for that beef with Jay-Z, he would not be who he is today. That was the personal anger that I had to put out there.

Wyoming's Luxurious Brush Creek Ranch Unveils Magee Homestead, Ultra Private 'Ranch Within a Ranch'
New Enclave With Private Lodge and Collection of Cabins Offers the Ultimate in Exclusivity Including Dedicated Staff and Privileged Access to Amenities and Activities
PR Newswire
SARATOGA, Wyo., March 12, 2012
SARATOGA, Wyo., March 12, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The Lodge & Spa at Brush Creek Ranch, a Preferred Boutique Hotel and Orvis Endorsed Fly-Fishing Lodge that is setting the new standard in all-inclusive resorts, announced today the opening of Magee Homestead at Brush Creek Ranch, an ultra private "Ranch within a Ranch." Officially opened in January and located just five miles from the main Lodge & Spa at Brush Creek Ranch, Magee Homestead features a private lodge and collection of seven historically restored cabins in a tranquil, creek-side setting tucked amidst rolling meadowlands and natural rock outcroppings in the heart of Wyoming cattle and ranching country. With its immaculate private lodge and dedicated staff, Magee Homestead offers the ideal secluded hideaway for intimate gatherings for the most discerning individuals and families as well as corporate, wedding and leisure groups.
"The Lodge & Spa at Brush Creek Ranch is located in such a pristine and remote location that we felt compelled to create a place that offers true privacy and exclusivity for a select few," said Bruce White, owner of Brush Creek Ranch. "There very few places left in this world that provide complete privacy and luxury while still being understated and down-to-earth and we believe Magee Homestead is the best of them."
Much like the rest of Brush Creek Ranch, Magee Homestead has its own fascinating history. The property on which Magee Homestead sits was a cow camp and hay-producing ranch back in the early 1900s. The smaller cabins on the property, which have been renovated and turned into individual lodging cabins, were once used as housing for cowpokes. The name of each individual cabin – TZ, Elk Hollow, Burgess, Wood, Pierce, Downie and Wiant – comes from the original property title work, which likely reflects the names of the original homesteaders before the Ranch was combined into one larger property. In addition, a stagecoach still at the Ranch near owner Bruce White's home is from the original Magee Homestead and was used as a stage stop for the Gold Hill Stage route.
The crown jewel of Magee Homestead is its luxurious lodge. The lodge, as well as all of the cabins, were designed by Simeone Deary Design Group, an award-winning interior design firm known for its iconic and inspired projects. The large, open club room offers a comfortable living area as well as a game room featuring an elegant bar with antique rifle collection. The walls are bedecked with a trophy hunt collection overlooking a Steinway seven-foot grand piano, hand-carved billiards table, poker tables and two indoor fireplaces. The staffed private kitchen and dining room provide daily service of meals and beverages including premium beers, wine and spirits. Outdoors, the Magee lodge features spacious outdoor dining and entertainment patio with an outdoor fireplace and expansive views.
Accommodations at Magee Homestead are found in a collection of seven historically restored cabins with nine total bedrooms that sleeps up to 25 guests. One of the standouts is the three-bedroom TZ Cabin Residence, which includes a full kitchen, dining room and living area. Other cabins range in size, but each includes an en suite bathroom and unique, plush interior design as well as Antica Farmistica® toiletry products.
The common areas at Magee Homestead include expansive manicured lawns featuring a bocce court, horseshoe court, several fire pits and a pergola with spacious outdoor hot tub. Brush Creek Ranch provides a private concierge to handle every Magee Homestead guest's needs, including scheduling activities such as horseback riding, Bow & Gun Club, ranger tours, wing shooting, hiking, mountain biking, fly fishing, float trips and more, all of which will conveniently deploy directly from Magee. Many activities are available right at the Homestead as well, including fly fishing on the restored Elk Hollow Creek, a private tee pee for spa treatments and hiking and biking trails that connect to the Ranch's 50 miles of maintained trails. A private stable will be home to Ranch horses while guests are in-residence as well.
While Magee Homestead offers the ultimate in exclusive and privacy, Magee's guests will also have access to The Lodge & Spa at Brush Creek Ranch. Whether for morning yoga on Falcon Peak Overlook or poker night at the Saloon, Magee Homestead guests are always welcome to enjoy the many additional amenities at The Lodge & Spa at Brush Creek Ranch.
"Magee Homestead offers our guests another level of luxury, privacy and immersion in the majestic Wyoming landscape that Brush Creek Ranch has come to be known for since opening in May 2011," said Mike Williams, Executive Vice President and COO of Brush Creek Ranch. "Whether for a family reunion, small destination wedding or corporate retreat, Magee Homestead offers the perfect secluded getaway for a discerning group looking for complete privacy."
The Lodge & Spa at Brush Creek Ranch offers an all-inclusive luxury guest ranch experience that includes accommodations, daily food & beverage, activities with guides, gear & instruction, and gratuities. Magee Homestead is available as a total package starting at $10,000 per night with a minimum stay of four nights in peak periods and three nights in off peak periods and is available for 2012 bookings now.

Conner quarterback commits to Army All-American Bowl
Updated On: Mar 15 2013 07:44:25 PM EDT
Conner's Drew Barker will get to showcase his skills on national television before he sets foot on the college campus of his choice next fall.
On Thursday, the junior quarterback, who currently ranks third in Scout.com's 2014 quarterback class, accepted an offer to play in the 2014 U.S. Army All-American Bowl.
"As a little kid, you know, you're watching on TV, watching Tim Tebow, Andrew Luck, Adrian Peterson and Reggie Bush and all of those guys, and you know, just to follow in their footsteps, it was definitely an opportunity that I couldn't pass up," said Barker.
The invitation alone was something special for Barker.
"It was kind of almost, you know, like getting my first offer," said Barker. "It was really awesome, and I was definitely very thankful for it."
Barker threw for 2,072 yards and rushed for another 1,455 yards during his junior season. He also accounted for 40 touchdowns through the air and on the ground.
And while his talents and on-field performance have yielded the opportunity to play in this game, it's not just about football for Barker.
"I know they do a lot of activities with charities and, you know, like wounded veterans and stuff, and you know, that would be a pretty cool experience," said Barker. "The whole thing will definitely be awesome and a once-in-a-lifetime experience."
The U.S. Army All-American Bowl will be played at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas on Jan. 4. The game will air live on WLWT.

When it comes to hosting any party, I always strive to be a mini Martha Stewart. But, slaving over a three-course meal is not my idea of a good time. Trying to plan a dinner party usually leaves me dipping into the wine way before the guests arrive — whoops. To avoid any meltdowns — of the culinary and mental variety — I'm scratching the whole dinner idea and keeping it simple with an easy wine and cheese menu. All I need are some cheeses, a few (or many) amazing bottles of vino, and some seasonal tableware from T.J.Maxx. See how my gilded tumblers, serving platters, and yes, even printed napkins (they're polka-dotted!), serve as the finishing touches that tie this party in a pretty, cozy bow.

A shopping center got a gift this holiday season.
Glenbrook Square on Wednesday announced it inked a deal to bring Carson's department store to Fort Wayne, filling a spot vacated by Marshall Field's in 2005. Remodeling of the 122,000-square-foot store will begin in February with officials anticipating a mid-September opening.
Bon-Ton Stores Inc. of York, Pa., owns Carson Pirie Scott & Co., known informally as Carson's, which has 14 Indiana locations, including a Warsaw store.
Purdue University retail expert Richard Feinberg said the retailer's pending foray into Fort Wayne bodes well for shoppers.
The customer always wins when there is more competition, Feinberg said. They are a relatively well-managed company. They competed for many years against Marshall Field's and now Macy's, and that's not an easy thing to do.
Feinberg is curious, though, about whether Bon-Ton was offered any incentives on leasing, considering today's competitive retail market.
You wonder if they're not paying full rent for a period and things like that, he said.
Officials declined to release such details. Bon-Ton spokeswoman Mary Kerr said the company has a multiyear lease with General Growth Properties Inc. of Chicago, owner of Glenbrook.
We love Indiana, Kerr said. We first came into the (Indiana) market through our acquisitions of other stores in 2003 and 2006. Moving into Fort Wayne was a natural extension for us.
Bon-Ton also expects to open a 120,800-square-foot store at the Maine Mall in South Portland, Maine, next fall.
Marshall Field's debuted at Glenbrook in 1997 when Dayton Hudson Corp. remodeled its Hudson's store and found Fort Wayne customers identified more with the Marshall Field's name than Hudson's. The store was originally built in 1981.
For the past two years, GlowGolf amusement center has occupied a portion of the lower level of the location. It is uncertain whether the business will stay in the mall or relocate. A manager with GlowGolf said whatever happens, the business isn't likely to leave the area.
As for Carson's, Kerr said executives like the regional appeal of Glenbrook, which pulls customers from throughout northeast Indiana and neighboring Ohio counties.
It looked like a growth opportunity for the company, she said. With locations already in the area, we feel we have a relationship with the customer.
Glenbrook officials say Carson's will beef up the mall's offerings.
The addition of Carson's illustrates our commitment to offer our customers the best retail in the area, Glenbrook spokesman Chris Ford said. Carson's offers a great merchandise mix, and we're thrilled to offer our shoppers with yet another stellar retail option.
Carson's will join existing anchor stores Macy's, J.C. Penney and Sears at the mall.
Jessica Swartout, 22, says she doesn't shop at Glenbrook often – but Carson's could change her habits.
I don't like the traffic, the Fort Wayne cashier said. About as close as I get to Glenbrook is Target, but if they (Glenbrook) have (brands) I like, I might shop there more.
