By Monique Zander, the Never-Bored RVer
It's Monique's turn to comment on yesterday's rv.net blog.
"Since there have been so many responses stating that the blog is not boring, I must clarify the statement in the previous blog.
"Barry's blogs are not boring. On the contrary, I find them well written, entertaining and educational. I appreciate his talent as so many readers do. I am a creative person, but I'm not at all into computers. Technology is not my thing. I don't even know how to type!
"So proofreading Barry's writing (I proofread every posting) about the process of formatting the e-Postcard, I found the technical how-to boring – for me.
"Barry knew I would.
"Barry writes in his wonderful intimate way, and I am his Number 1 fan. We are a team when it comes to ideas.
"When I came up with the concept of the e-Postcard and how the finished product should look, Barry embraced it wholeheartedly. I had no doubt that he could figure out how to do it, and, of course, he did.
"Barry always welcomes my suggestions, additions or subtractions. He asks me to proofread every article (he jokingly calls me 'his cruel editor'). By my own choosing, I don't want to be involved with computers, and it's okay with Barry. He'd rather I spend my time cooking gourmet meals anyway.
"Just as Barry and I are never bored, I do not find Barry's blogs boring."
In our next posting, we will address a few questions and issues mentioned in yesterday's Comments Section and in the numerous requests for the reverse side of the e-Postcard.
From the "Never-Bored RVers," We'll see you on down the road.

We want to use software to help address these issues.
The "Apps for Democracy Finland" is your chance to wow the world with your ideas; your chance to build better systems on top of public data; your chance to demonstrate the value and the power of public data when it is let free; your chance to take public information and display it in exciting new ways; and your chance to walk away with a range of prizes.
Join our facebook group and Twitter feed
Developers and designers will compete by creating ideas and functional web applications, widgets, mashups, iPhone apps, Facebook apps, and other digital utilities that, make use of some public data and facilitate the collaboration between citizens and public organizations.
To enter, simply produce your functional demonstration and submit it following the Submission guidelines. If you have a great idea, but feel that you lack the skills to execute your vision, you can still participate in the idea category of the competition and/or join forces with someone technically talented in order to participate in the Implementation category. The awards of different categories and all other relevant information will be available on this website.
We encourage all entrants to share their work under a flexible and permissive licence in order that others may build upon what they have done.

Canon IXUS 130 Review - Portable Digital Cameras
The Canon IXUS 130 is a pocket sized digital camera. It has 14 megapixels and a 4x wide angle zoom lens. The IXUS 130 can shoot High Definition movies. Other key features include image stabilisation and a 2.7 inch LCD screen.
Image Quality - See Sample Images Below
Outdoor Scenic Shots in Good Light
On the whole I am very happy with the quality of photos the IXUS 130 has produced. Looking through my outdoor photos sharpness is some way above average for such a small digital camera. This is true of a variety of zoom positions. I am especially impressed by the sharpness showing in my second photo where the lens is zoomed all the way out. My shot of the building shows how the camera is able to retain sharpness up to the edges of a shot.
The IXUS 130 also does well in bringing out detail in areas of light shade.
As with other Canon digital cameras I like the contrast showing in the colours. The skies are about the right shade of blue in my eyes and I like the deeper greens of the foliage.
As with most digital cameras there are one or two imperfections. My third outdoor shot is darker than it should be. In my second photo there is also a small amount of purple fringing showing around the edges of the trees. This is worth taking into account if you are planning to produce extra large prints.
For my outdoor portrait I would like to have seen greater saturation of the colours. I think extra colour would improve the photo.
The indoor portrait with flash works very well. The lighting remains quite subtle. This ensures that there is still colour showing in the skin tones. The light is very evenly distributed too. This ensures all areas are properly lit with no dark corners and no dark areas in the hair.
With flash turned off the IXUS 130 does well again. There are good levels of detail showing and noise is controlled well.
Macro, Colours and Noise
For me the macro shot is the best effort from the IXUS 130. Although it is unlikely that close up shots would be high up on the agenda for anyone on the lookout for a pocket camera the quality of the shoot is very impressive. The sharpness, definition and detail of the photo are outstanding.
I like the colours the IXUS 130 produces in the main. One or two photos could benefit from a little extra ...

Canon IXUS 210 Review - Portable Cameras
The Canon IXUS 210 a touch controlled digital camera. It is a clear improvement on the previous model in this series. Almost all the functions are controlled through touch and the LCD screen is of a far higher quality. The screen is 3.5 inches in size. This large size gives plenty of room for fingers to make selections.

Outdoor Scenic Shots in Good Light
The IXUS 210 handles the outdoor scenes better than the majority of smaller compacts. I like the colours and lighting the camera produces. There are a couple of issues that may come into play if you are planning to make extra large prints. There is a hint of purple fringing in places. I can also see a slight haze over some areas. I wonder if this is down to the large number of megapixels Canon has crammed onto the sensor. If you are not planning to blow up your photos for big prints neither of these points are likely to be an issue.
All three of my portrait shots work well. The outdoor portrait has a light feel to it. Focusing is sharp and the colours have a natural feel to them.
Macro, Colours and Noise
For a snapshot digital camera the macro shot is of a very high quality. The IXUS 210 handles the lighting well and manages to show plenty of definition in the shot.
Overall picture quality is very good for this type of camera. The sharpness of the shots is good, especially when you take into account the wide angle lens the camera has.

Nikon Coolpix S3000 Review - Portable Digital Cameras
The Nikon Coolpix S3000 is a slimline pocket sized digital camera. Apart from its small size the biggest attraction is likely to be its ease of use. This is also one of the cheapest pocket cameras available from one of the big name brands. In my view a few compromises have been made when it comes to picture quality in order to keep the price down. So your decision as to whether to buy or not may well revolve around whether or not you want to pay more for some extra picture quality.

Outdoor Scenic Shots in Good Light
On the whole focusing in sunny conditions is very good indeed. Focusing is sharp as you move out towards the edges of the shots too. I also like the contrast in colours and the brightness of the shots.
The outdoor portrait is the best of my three portrait test shots. The photo is sharp and the colours have a natural look to them.
Macro, Colours and Noise
I struggled with my macro test shot. According to the specification the Coolpix S3000 should be able to focus from 8cm from the subject. I found it difficult to get a reliable focus for my test at less than 12 cm. Even then the quality was below what I was expecting.

Education centre > The Fairchild Challenge/BGCI Global Competition 2011/2012
The Fairchild Challenge/BGCI Global Competition 2011/2012
Guidelines for schools
This Global Competition links to the London 2012 Inspire programme. The aims of the Competition are to:
How to participate:1) Contact your local botanic garden and check that they are participating in the Fairchild Challenge/BGCI Global Competition
2) Ask your students to:
► Research your country's plant biodiversity. Select at least three plants that represent the country and that can be incorporated into a wreath. They can use different parts of their selected plants to create their wreath -– these could be flowers, leaves, fruits or twigs. At least one plant selected must have a conservation message. This may be in relation to the plant's economic, cultural or environmental significance.
► Write a 500-word rationale for their plant selection, including one sentence about the plant that has a conservation message.
► Write a list of plants included in the wreath (make sure they include the Latin names of the plants); a minimum of three different plant species must be used.
► Produce the wreath and take a colour photograph of the student wearing or holding the wreath.
3) Set up a judging panel in school (three people is sufficient) and select two top entries. Designs need to be judged on the plants included and relevance to country's biodiversity, the rationale for selecting the plants and the conservation message, originality, creativity of design and aesthetics of wreath.
4) Submit your top two entries to your local participating botanic garden by Thursday 5th April 2012.
The winners of the Global Competition will be announced on BGCI's and The Fairchild Challenge's websites in May 2012. Please note: If selected, permission will need to be requested from the students' parents to include their images in any publicity material produced.
The winning wreaths
Photographs of the winning wreaths will be displayed in London during the 2012 Summer Olympics.

How Air Conditioning WorksThe condensed version
There was a time not all that long ago when automotive air conditioning was considered something of a luxury. Today's drivers don't share that view. Now standard on just about every make and model of car, truck and SUV, air conditioning is as familiar as, well, the steering wheel.
The almost universal acceptance of air conditioning has tracked the gradual advancement of comfort and luxury items in cars. In the early days of the automobile when even a heater was considered a luxury item, the concept of reveling in 70-degree comfort on a sweltering 110-degree Tucson summer afternoon was the stuff of science fiction. Today our "baseline" for comfort and features has ascended to spectacular heights. Gotta have a good sound system, cruise control, anti-lock brakes, and all sorts of air bags too. Air conditioning is practically a given.
Just exactly how does air conditioning make goose-bump-inducing cold air when the outside temperature is hot enough to cook a desert donkey clear through in fifteen minutes? For starters, it doesn't actually make cold air, but instead it removes heat from the car's interior and dumps it outside. The principle is the same used in home air conditioning, refrigerators and most other kinds of refrigeration. But how is that possible if it's flaming hot outside? Glad you asked.
The Ins and Outs of Cool
Boiled down to its essentials, air conditioning is a closed-loop system of tubing filled with a refrigerant that cycles from liquid to gaseous state as it circulates round and round. Automotive air conditioning has components both inside the interior and in the vehicle's engine compartment. Behind the instrument panel, warm, humid interior air is blown over a heat exchanger called an evaporator, which has cold, low-pressure liquid and gas refrigerant flowing through it. The refrigerant is warmed by the interior air flowing over it, and the air is cooled by the refrigerant. With the temperature drop, the air can no longer carry as much moisture, so water droplets condense on the evaporator and the humidity of the air is reduced. That's nice, particularly in hot, humid weather. The liquid water is drained out onto the ground, which explains that harmless puddle of clear liquid you sometimes notice under your car when the air conditioning has been running. To adjust the temperature of the air flowing from the vents, the dashboard-mounted climate controls allow the cold air flowing over the evaporator to be blended with un-chilled air.
As the refrigerant absorbs heat in the evaporator, some of it begins to boil (it has a much lower boiling point than water). This vapor is carried to the compressor unit under the hood that is powered by the engine. The compressor pressurizes the vapor, which raises its temperature at the same time (Basic physics: if you increase the pressure of a gas, its temperature will automatically increase as well.) This hot, high-pressure refrigerant vapor is now much hotter than the outside air around the car (yes, even in Phoenix). It's carried to a heat exchanger called the condenser mounted at the front of the car, where its temperature is reduced below the boiling point and it condenses back into warm liquid form. It is able to revert to liquid form even at a relatively high temperature due to the pressure it's under in this part of the system, which raises its boiling point. Now the refrigerant heads back to the interior where it sprays through a device called the expansion valve and into the evaporator once again. Beyond this valve, the pressure is reduced, and the refrigerant returns to a gaseous state. With the reduction in pressure comes an immediate drop in temperature (remember that pressure/temperature relationship-). The cold refrigerant can be at or below freezing as it flows through the evaporator, where the cycle begins again.
The typical automotive air-conditioning system is a low-maintenance affair. About all you need to is run the system for about 10 minutes once a month (even in winter) to circulate the refrigerant and the small amount of lubricant it carries. The refrigerant (environmentally friendly R134A has been in use since 1996) will last indefinitely barring a leak in the system. Modern systems are electronically controlled and maintain the proper pressure and temperature differentials throughout for efficient operation. The engine driven compressor is part of that control system, and has an electrically operated clutch that allows its drive pulley to freewheel (and not sap engine power) until the compressor is needed.
Automatic climate controls now common on many luxury cars add sophisticated computerized logic to the system to maintain a set temperature. With an array of temperature sensors, the system monitors the temperature inside the car then cycles the air conditioning system, ventilation fans and air-supply mixer to maintain the set temperature. Some of these systems are quite sophisticated, and compensate for sunshine hitting one side of the car, the preferences of the right and left front passengers, and even those of the rear passengers. Is this level of personal comfort really necessary? Of course not. Is it nice? You bet.

text: Following the success of Train Man, director Murakami Shosuke (sometimes credited as Murakami Masanori) teams up with actress Nakatani Miki once more for a perfectly romantic holiday outing. Adapted from a Yoshida Shuichi novel, 24/7 Dori no Christmas (a.k.a. Christmas on July 24th Avenue) is everything you can expect from a Christmas romance - crowd-pleasing, heartwarming, full of familiar faces and holiday jingles. Nakatani Miki, who received the Japan Academy Awards Best Actress trophy in 2007 for Memories of Matsuko, takes her whimsical acting to a lighter film opposite Osawa Takao (Crying Out Love, In the Center of the World). The leads are supported by an all-star line-up of actors including Sato Ryuta (Limit of Love Umizaru), YOU (Nobody Knows), Abe Tsuyoshi (Rough), and Ueno Juri (Summertime Machine Blues). Fluffy but enjoyable, 24/7 Dori No Christmas makes an ideal romantic pick for Christmas or any other time of the year.
