"My table must be well supplied without waste…"
Charlotte Drayton Manigault was born to Charles Drayton and Hester (or Ester) Middleton in 1781 on their plantation in Goose Creek. Hester Middleton Drayton was the sister of Arthur Middleton, signer of the Declaration of Independence, and died when Charlotte was eight years old. By all accounts Charles Drayton was a man of enlightened thought and experimented in diverse avenues of industry, including botany and animal husbandry. He had received his medical degree from the University of Edinburgh, Scotland in 1770, had served as a captain during the Revolutionary War and Lieutenant Governor of South Carolina in 1785.
Charlotte married Joseph Manigault on May 27, 1800 at her family home, Drayton Hall Plantation. They moved to 8 Maiden Lane in Charleston where she had their first two children, Joseph in 1801 and Ann in 1803. In 1801, Joseph and Charlotte started building a home in the Wraggborough area on the Neck and moved in soon after the birth of their daughter. Viewing the Joseph Manigault House today, details of Drayton Hall can be seen in the architectural as well as the ornamental design - strong evidence that Charlotte had given her opinion in designing the house.
Charlotte would have six more children, all boys, including twins, her last child born in 1824 at the age of forty-three. Her household not only consisted of eight children but also included anywhere from eleven to twenty-one slaves. Raising children and managing such a large domestic unit took patience and required much of her time. Just a month after her last child was born, she reflected:
"I every day see the great necessity of forbearance, patience and command of temper – particularly if one mixes much with the world or has to direct a large household of persons of various tempers. These directions will be negligently obeyed, frequently with ill will & excuses for not doing as much as was required.
It will require all the attention of an over-looker to have business correctly and faithfully executed. It cannot be my intention to make such a sacrifice of time, or to attempt such a tryall [sic] of temper - therefore be satisfied if things are done tolerably. You cannot change others, though you might with judgment rule with comfort to yourself and your domestics also."
Along with everyday household duties, Charlotte was active with the Charleston Orphan House and would give often of her time and financial support. She was also an accomplished artist and enjoyed sketching and painting the buildings and landscape scenes that surrounded her in daily life.
Family and household were the most important elements of Charlotte's life and her writings reveal this desire to be the best wife and mother as well as caretaker to her "domestics".
"Endeavour not to be put out of humour or flurried by any circumstance - many things require your attention and they can all be attended to one after another and will be best done calmly. You are desirous of accomplishing all that is in your sphere of duties,
toward my Husband, my Children, my domestics, my people &c. Lastly my own improvement in thoughts, words and actions.
Perseverance with gentleness will go a great way in accomplishing any of these, and is essential in a woman - and as I must depend on my own exertions, singly, Caution and Prudence, Perseverance and Gentleness aided by Liberality must be my prime ministers. I must frequently turn my attention to medicine, I must sometimes umpire, I must excite the indolent to industry, my house must be clothed in scarlet, that is well clothed, or kept well or in order by the exercise of the needle; It must be cleansed and purified, it must be governed by good regulations steadily and gently enforced. My table must be well supplied without waste, carefully teaching and encouraging Cook and Pastry-cook to perform their parts."
During the course of their life together, Charlotte and Joseph split their time between their home in Charleston, now called the Joseph Manigault House, and their plantation, White Oak. Charlotte seemed to enjoy plantation life more than living in town and after Joseph's death in 1843 began to spend more time at White Oak. She sold the Wraggborough home in 1852 and moved to a "hired house on the corner of Calhoun & Washington Streets" equipped with gas and "very convenient for the house keepers". She would later move to South Bay Street where she died peaceably on February 5, 1855.
Charlotte Drayton Manigault was not an abolitionist, she was not an activist, and she did not speak in front of large crowds. She was a simple woman with strong beliefs about how a woman should conduct herself as a wife and mother. Supporting and loving her family unconditionally, she rejoiced in their successes and encouraged them through their failures. Charlotte buried two sons and helped raise several grandchildren and managed it all with style and grace. She will always be remembered as a devoted wife, mother and grandmother – a woman who always had a table well supplied without waste.

Storeroom Stories: Centennial of the Museum's independence
March 10 marks the Centennial of the Museum's independence! On March 10, 1915, Thomas Pinckney, R.L. Montague and William M. Bird, officers appointed to manage the Museum, filed paperwork with the Secretary of State of South Carolina for the incorporation of The Charleston Museum. With this filing, the Museum officially separated itself from the College of Charleston, and became an independent organization. Per its Articles of Incorporation, its declared purpose was "to increase and diffuse knowledge," preserve objects and places of artistic, scientific and historic interest, and furnish "public instruction and recreation."
After the Museum's founding in 1773 by the Charleston Library Society, it was subsequently overseen by the Library Society, the Literary and Philosophical Society of South Carolina and the Medical College of South Carolina, which later became MUSC. In 1850, the Medical College turned over the collections and management of the Museum to the College of Charleston. It would remain there for the next 65 years.
These images show parts of the Museum collection on display in Randolph Hall at the College, c. 1900. The top image shows a significant geology collection and placards above the entrance doors which note "Mineralogy."
In the second image, two gentlemen, possibly students at the College, enjoy themselves at the expense of plaster casts of Amenhotep III (rear) and Sety II (front). One of the young men has placed his hat on Amenhotep's head while the other gazes deeply into Sety's eyes. The two casts, along with the larger cast of Ramses to the right and an Assyrian example barely visible in the left of the photo, are currently on display just outside the Museum's Early Days exhibit. The casts were copied from original statuary at the British Museum and were purchased by Museum Curator Gabriel Manigault in the 1890s.
Dave Jars
At some point in his early life, Dave, a man born into slavery circa 1800, learned the fine art of throwing, turning, and glazing various forms of pottery including churns, storage jars, pitchers, and jugs. While it is popularly presumed that Dave learned pottery while enslaved under Harvey Drake, Dr. Abner Landrum, and Amos Landrum, "copartners in the business of a pottery establishment" in the Edgefield district of South Carolina, who was most responsible for this training remains unknown. Moreover, can only currently speculate just how Dave became literate. After all, any slave from the early and middle 1800s who could read and write typically raised suspicion. Worse, in some areas around South Carolina and the greater south, it was outright illegal.
Nevertheless, beginning in the 1830s and continuing on up to the start of the Civil War, and thanks to his knowledge of the written language, Dave freely, and oftentimes boldly, signed and dated much of his work, even occasionally inscribing it with poetic verses. These poems, in fact, have come to provide invaluable insight as to who Dave really was - as a person and not just bonded property. One particular jar displayed at The Museum nears the poignant inscription "Dave belongs Mr. Miles, wher the oven bakes and the pot biles." (The last word is believed to be an alteration or corruption of the word "boils," Which Dave likely made purposely in order to form a proper rhyme." His liberties with the English language notwithstanding, these lines are significant because they interpret Dave's familiarity with his own enslavement and further convey that, contrary to the popular belief of the time, slaves were neither ignorant nor blind to their predicament.
After emancipation, Dave took the surname "Drake" after his first owner. He died sometime during the 1870s. Today, however, Dave's wares, particularly those inscribed with his own brand of poetry, are among the most celebrated products of southern folk art, and often reach record sums at auction. Furthermore, because of its early studies and collections of Edgefield pottery, The Charleston Museum holds (and exhibits) the largest public collection of Dave's work.
Oligocene Whales: Evolution and Biodiversity
|Xenorophus Skull
The Charleston Museum houses the largest collection of exquisite Oligocene whales in the world. The Oligocene epoch, a period of geologic time that spans from roughly 34 to 23 million years ago, is unarguably and important time period in regards to whale evolution and diversification. All of these Oligocene whales were collected in and around Charleston from two incredibly rich fossil formations: the Ashley formation (29.2 million years old) and the Chandler Bridge Formation (27.5 million years old). These two fossil beds together make up the richest deposit of Oligocene marine vertebrates ever described. From these two beds, there have been fossil specimens discovered that represent 25 new species of cetaceans (the scientific term for whales, dolphins, and porpoises).
|Xenorophus Skull
The Order Cetacea contains two suborders; the Odontoceti, or toothed whales, and the Mysticeti, or baleen whales. Odontocete cetaceans include whales like the well-known Sperm Whale (Physeter macrocephalus) as well as dolphins and porpoises. All of the toothed whales share several characteristics in-common that aid in separating them from mysticetes. For example, all odontocete cetacean teeth are virtually identical. They also possess a fluid filled melon that is used for echolocation of prey, have a single blowhole opening, and are typically smaller than their mysticete relatives. Odontocetes are more closely related to primate cetaceans, a group commonly referred to as "archeoceti" meaning ancient cetaceans. The oldest archeocetes bridge the gap between the exclusively marine modern whales and terrestrial animals as they possess hind legs and other land-based adaptations. Current genetic research names the Hippopotamus as the closest living terrestrial relative of cetaceans.
|Eomysticetus Skull
Mysticete whales do not extend as far back in the fossil record as odontocetes and have many unique adaptations such as either having a vestigial (reduced) melon (or completely lacking one) as well as having two blowhole openings. Mysticete whales began to diverge from their toothy relatives during the Eocene epoch, a geologic time period ranging from 56 to 33 million years ago. Five Oligocene representatives of early mysticete evolution were excavated in Dorchester County, three of which are formally described: Eomysticetus whitmorei, Eomysticetus carolinensis, and Micromysticetus rothausemi. These species are the earliest known mysticetes that completely lack teeth. Rather than using teeth to capture solitary prey, these three species (as well as modern mysticetes) relied solely on baleen to filter many small organisms out of the water for food. Baleen is a fibrous set of plates in the mouths of mysticetes that is similar in composition to human fingernails and rarely fossilizes. However, the absence of cavities in the jaw for tooth roots is evidence for true mysticetes being present during the Oligocene.
|Archaeomysticetus teeth: Incisors (left) & Molars (right)
Earlier mystecetes relatives do possess some teeth; however the teeth are very different from modern odontocete teeth. Rather than possessing a single cusp, early mysticete teeth would possess several cusps and, like baleen, would act like a filter. The teeth in some early mysticetes even have large spaces between their teeth. This suggests these species may have been utilizing teeth and baleen simultaneously until modern mysticetes began to solely rely on baleen.
Storeroom Stories: Washington Sash
Miss Harriott Pinckney, daughter of Thomas and Elizabeth (Motte) Pinckney and granddaughter of indigo-famous Eliza Lucas Pinckney, for example, wore (and likely made) this sash especially for these celebrations. Made from light blue silk taffeta and measuring 3 ¾" wide by 165 ½" long, a miniature portrait of George Washington is painted at the center and while a dove and an eagle with an American shield appear at opposite ends. One particular account of a May 6 reception held on May 6 makes note of these sashes.
The President attended a ball given by Governor (Charles) Pinckney at his home, where was gathered a "select company" of ladies and gentlemen. The ladies, sacrificing their elaborate floral headdresses and imposing feathers, wore handsome fillets or bandeaux upon which was drawn or painted Washington's portrait, the national colors entwined.
In 1949, Thomas Pinckney's great-great granddaughter, Sallie Morris Pinckney Burton, donated this remarkable piece to The Charleston Museum. At that time, Mrs. Burton was the wife of the museum's director, E. Milby Burton.

A Word from the Director, January 2015
Happy New Year!!! I send a sincere thank you to all those who made contributions to the 2014 Annual Appeal. Your donations, memberships, and support helped us achieve a great deal in 2014 and we are looking forward to an exciting 2015.
Among our achievements in 2014 were two excellent exhibits: Unfurled: Flags from the Collections of The Charleston Museum and "You'll regret the day you ever done it", the last in a series of Civil War Sesquicentennial exhibits. If you have not seen them, hurry to the Museum as both will close in the coming weeks (January 4 and February 1, respectively). Thanks to dedicated work by the Board of Trustees Strategic Planning Committee, we also finalized our 2015-2018 Strategic Plan. The plan sets ambitious, but achievable goals for the next four years and provides a roadmap as we move into the future. Our FANS (Friends and Needed Supporters), meanwhile, put on an outstanding gala in April which raised nearly $30,000 for maintenance and repair of our education facilities at the Dill Sanctuary and funding for Title I schools to visit the Museum in the future.
Among the accomplishments of which I am most proud in 2014 were visits this fall by every third grader in Charleston County School District to the Museum and every fourth grader in the District to the Heyward-Washington House. The latter was part of the Patriots Day program done in association with the Old Exchange and Provost Dungeon and the Powder Magazine. Much credit goes to Stephanie Thomas, Chief of Education and Interpretation, Museum staff, and our partnering institutions for hosting and teaching all these wonderful school children.
During the year, we also filled two vacant positions in our Natural History Department. Mr. Matt Gibson joined the Museum as Curator of Natural History in June, and Curatorial Assistant, Ms. Jessica Peragine, came on board in November. With a Natural History Curator in place, we will now begin a fundraising campaign for much-needed renovation of the Museum's Natural History Gallery. More on that to come! Other new staff who joined us were Marc Meech (CFO), Dawn White (Finance Clerk), Shelby Duff (PR & Events Coordinator), Katrina Lawrimore (Historic House Administrator) and Jessica Runyon (Museum Educator). Hopefully you will have a chance to meet them all.
If you have visited the Museum recently, you were sure to notice our new breezeway gates. Designed by Mr. Glenn Keyes, of the Board of Trustees, these gates not only better secure the Museum but add character to what was a stark, brick walkway into the building. Thank you to Glenn for his tremendous assistance in this.
Much will be happening at the Museum in 2015. We will present two exhibitions in our Historic Textiles Gallery – Fashion Flashback: 1920s -1960s: Five Decades of Style that Changed America, opening in January, and On Parade, Into Battle: Military Uniforms from the American Revolution to the Present, opening in June. We are also pleased to feature two special lobby exhibits with material from the Museum's previously rarely-shown fossil collections. From Land to Sea: 35 Million Years of Whale Evolution will kick off in February and will be followed by a display of Pleistocene land mammals in August. In addition, we will be implementing a major upgrade and redesign of the Museum website and undertaking a paint restoration project at the Joseph Manigault House. The Manigault project is being funded in part by proceeds from The Charleston Art & Antiques Forum. We are grateful to them for this generosity!
Thank you again for all your support of the Museum. I look forward to great things together in 2015.
Carl P. Borick
Storeroom Stories: Xenorophid Whale
The Charleston Museum holds the largest collection of Oligocene cetaceans, or whales, in the world. The Oligocene epoch is a geologic time period spanning from roughly 23 million years ago (mya) to 34 mya, and it represents a very important time period for cetacean evolution. Many species of Oligocene cetaceans have been described from South Carolina, with several discovered in and around Charleston.
The genus Xenorophus, which is within the cetacean family Xenorophidae, was originally described by R. Kellogg in 1923. Xenorophids were predatory whales that most likely fed on fish and perhaps small sea birds. Xenorophids are an extinct group and have only been found in the Ashley and Chandler Bridge formations of South Carolina. This specimen, found in Charleston County, is potentially a new species of xenorophid.

Fashion Flashback is taking shape
As we were preparing the garments that will be shown in our upcoming textile exhibition, Fashion Flashback, 1920s-1960s: Five Decades of Style that Changed America, one dress seemed to stand out as a marvelous selection for a December holiday party. Made of changeable taffeta, the dress would shimmer between a luscious green and vibrant blue, as the wearer swirled around the room, the focus of everyone's attention. And this wearer might have done just that. She was Margaret Middleton Rivers, the wife of Congressman L. Mendel Rivers. First elected in 1940, Rivers served in Congress for 30 years and was the influential chairman of the Armed Services committee from 1965.
Mrs. Rivers' dress, dating from the late 1940s, has the stylish wide neckline and pleated full skirt of the period. The enormous bow in back sets the figure off without being cumbersome. Margaret (1913-2004) was a debutante from old Charleston families (Simons & Middleton); she attended Memminger High School and graduated from the College of Charleston in 1935. It is not surprising that she would have selected such a stunning garment.
Changeable taffeta is taffeta (a plain weave silk with considerable body and sheen) with warp of one color and weft of another, giving different effects in different lights. This dress does not have a label and could have been made here.
A photo of her from her memoirs, co-authored by her daughter and son and published in 2007 by History Press. This Image is Courtesy of Special Collections, College of Charleston.
To see this dress and other beautiful garments, come by the Museum January 12 - June 14, 2015 for this special exhibition or join us, dressed in your favorite vintage attire, on January 15, 2015 from 6-8 pm for our Fashion Flashback Opening Reception!

2014 Holiday Decorations at The Joseph Manigault House
The Garden Club of Charleston, once again, brought holiday spirit into the Joseph Manigault House, adorning its rooms, hallways, and stairways with greenery, feathers, ribbons, and more! These spectacular arrangements represent this year's chosen theme, A 19th Century Christmas Reverie, by decorating as Charleston families would have done in years past.
The décor incorporates the essence of traditional celebrations by intertwining Christmas carols and popular books along with decorative objects from the period. While the Manigault family would not have historically celebrated Christmas in this home (traditionally, the winter months were spent at their rice plantation), The Charleston Museum and The Garden Club of Charleston are pleased to bring some holiday cheer inside the beautiful antebellum walls for visitors to enjoy!
Stop by and experience these delightful designs for yourself! The house is decorated from now through December 31 and you may view the holiday decorations as part of the regular public tour. Regular admission is FREE for members; $10/adult, $5/child 3-12 and under 3 free. Please visit our website for hours of operation and holiday schedules.
Gadsden Flag, 1775
So-called for its designer, Charleston's own Christopher Gadsden (1724-1805), presented this pattern in 1775 first to Commodore Esek Hopkins, commander of the brand new United States Navy established by General George Washington. Later, Gadsden presented a second flag of the same design to South Carolina's state Congress upon their February 1776 convening in Charleston.
Although there is debate as to whether the depicted rattlesnake is that of an Eastern Diamondback or Canebrake, the image was first used satirically by Benjamin Franklin in the 1750s, but over the next several decades came into its own as an American icon similar to the Bald Eagle. Like the burgeoning nation itself, Franklin wrote, the rattler "never begins an attack, nor, when once engaged, ever surrenders: She is therefore and emblem of magnanimity and true courage."
As for the underlying slogan, "Don't Tread On Me," this passage utilized by Gadsden reflects the rattlesnake's general demeanor; a fairly docile animal until threatened or provoked; a behavior that easily mimics those of liberty-minded Americans of the day. As the rattler on Gadsden's flag appears bearing fangs, coiled, and ready to strike, for an enemy to disrespect these obvious warnings and subsequently step (or "tread") upon it would be a dangerous decision to say the least.
Flag of the Palmetto Guard:
A spinoff of the state flag of South Carolina, why Guardsmen replaced the traditional crescent shape with a lone star remains unclear. Obviously, they did not wish to replicate entirely South Carolina's already established state flag, choosing instead an equally traditional five-pointed star. This change could possibly be a tribute to the 1861 Bonnie Blue flag, an unofficial banner of the Confederate States, which bears a single white star on a large blue field.
The first variation of the flag of South Carolina, an indigo-blue field (indigo being a major cash crop in the state's infancy) decorated with a solemn and crescent "moon," appears initially around 1775. This pattern, created by General William Moultrie in response to a request by the Revolutionary Council of Safety, however, differs greatly from the flag presently used. Decades later in 1861 that the singular Palmetto tree was added to the flag's center, an homage to Moultrie's remarkable victory at Fort Sullivan on June 28, 1776, where from an unfinished fortification built from Palmetto logs and packed sand, Charleston patriots fought off nine heavily armed British warships, damaging four and killing more than 100 redcoats.
Interestingly, the crescent "moon" in the top corner of the state flag is still cause for debate. While some believe it is indeed a moon hovering shining its light down over the palmetto, many others are convinced it depicts a French-styled gorget, a uniform adornment commonly worn among Patriot officers as a symbol of rank.
The 506th Coast Artillery Flag:
A branch of the U.S. Army during World War II, the Coast Artillery Corps (a.k.a. the Coastal Artillery) organized and maintained defensive batteries along the U.S. shoreline for the first half of the 20th century. A red field (a traditional color for artillery regiments) bears a Bald Eagle at the center similar to that of the Great Seal of the United States – except for one major difference: This flag shows the eagle with 13 arrows (weapons of war representing the original 13 colonies) held in the eagle's right talon while a green olive branch, the ancient symbol for peace, is held in its left. The wartime use of the flag is one possibility for this reversal.

Energy rip-off: 'Big Six' firms too close to ministers, says Ed Miliband
Labour plans to rein in energy lobbyists as analysis shows ministers have met with energy giants five times more often than with consumer groups
Andrew Grice
Andrew Grice has been Political Editor of The Independent since 1998. He was previously Political Editor of The Sunday Times, where he worked for 10 years, and he has been a Westminster-based journalist since 1982. His column, Inside Politics, appears in The Independent each Saturday.
Monday 07 October 2013
Lobbyists employed directly by the energy companies should be reined in and their dealings with the Government made more open, Ed Miliband has said.
In an interview with The Independent, the Labour leader accused ministers of being too close to the Big Six energy companies. Analysis reveals that ministers from the Department of Energy and Climate Change have met representatives from the energy giants on 128 occasions since the Coalition was formed in 2010, yet have held talks with the main groups representing energy consumers only 26 times during the same period.
Labour will table amendments to the Lobbying Bill, which returns to the Commons tomorrow, that would force all lobbyists to join the register proposed by the Government, including in-house lobbyists employed by the energy companies. The Bill currently covers professional "third-party" lobbyists who contact ministers and aides directly.
The Opposition will also demand a code of conduct with "real sanctions" and moves to prevent conflicts of interest when people switch between government and lobbying firms. The energy firms regularly "second" staff to Whitehall departments including the Department of Energy and Climate Change (Decc), while some civil servants spend time working in the industry. The Big Six are drawing up a campaign to lobby against Mr Miliband's pledge to freeze gas and electricity prices for 20 months if Labour wins power.
Mr Miliband said: "The Government's Lobbying Bill will not capture the big energy lobbyists, who will continue to escape scrutiny. We will bring in a universal register of all professional lobbyists, along with a code of conduct backed by sanctions."
The Labour leader sees the crackdown on lobbyists as the next stage of his campaign to stand up to the "vested interests" in the energy industry.
Mr Miliband claimed: "We have an energy market that isn't working for ordinary families and businesses. Yet rather than act, this Tory-led Government is letting energy firms overcharge millions of families who are struggling to pay their ever-rising energy bills." He added: "With a cost of living crisis gripping Britain, hardworking people need a government that fights for them. Instead we have a Prime Minister who always stands up for a privileged few."
The Independent's analysis found that since May 2010, Decc ministers have held talks with Centrica, the owner of British Gas, on 30 occasions; met Scottish Power 26 times; EDF 21; SSE 19; RWE npower 17 and E. on 15. In contrast, the ministers met Consumer Focus 13 times; Which? on 10 occasions; Energy Action twice and held one session with "consumer groups".
The Bill was long-delayed despite Mr Cameron's warning before the last election that lobbying was "the next big scandal waiting to happen". But the measure has won few friends because of its narrow scope.
After warnings by the industry that most lobbyists who meet ministers will be unaffected, Labour's amendments say that anyone who meets the definition of lobbying, whether working on behalf of a client or an employer, should be required to join the register. Labour would also require lobbyists to declare the approximate value of their activity and to list the individuals involved.
Labour proposes an "enforceable code of conduct", including a ban on inappropriate financial relationships between lobbyists and MPs or peers. Tough sanctions for breaches of the code of would include preventing the worst offenders from practising by removing them from the register.
The Opposition also wants to prevent conflicts of interests arising from the "revolving door" when ministers or officials join lobbying companies or lobbyists move to a job in government. It says appointments should be scrutinised by a committee, which could attach conditions to prevent those involved using their new role to further other interests.
Decc insisted on Sunday taht its links with the energy companies are "entirely above board", saying that steps were taken to avoid any conflict of interest and details of meetings were published. A Decc spokesman said: "Keeping the lights on and delivering value to consumers is a vital job and it is perfectly normal for Decc ministers and officials regularly to meet with energy suppliers as well as independent players and environmental and consumer groups to discuss energy issues."
The Government insists that it has listened to critics of the Bill. Andrew Lansley, the Commons Leader who is responsible for it, has announced changes after charities complained that they could be "gagged" by proposed curbs on political campaigning before elections. But umbrella groups representing these bodies said the amendments do not go far enough.

Streaming Optimized MAC (SOMAC) for WSN
Free registration required
Executive Summary
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) has seen almost a decade of active research. The concept of Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks has been derived from WSN where the focus has shifted from low data rate random infrequent transmissions to high data rate regular transmissions in the network. In order to support multimedia transport like voice streaming in this highly constrained network, the protocols need to be optimized for the channel throughput and lifetime of the network required by the streaming application. The Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol plays an important role in the operation of this network to avoid collisions and allocate the optimum throughput to nodes in the streaming path.

Ireland and Leinster sweat on Kearney
ESPN Staff
October 3, 2012
Rob Kearney could miss Ireland's November Tests © Getty Images
Ireland and Leinster face an anxious wait over the fitness of Rob Kearney with the fullback facing a potentially lengthy spell on the sidelines.
Kearney is suffering from a back injury that could keep him out of action for up to six weeks. If Leinster and Ireland's worst fears are confirmed, then Kearney is likely to miss his province's first two matches in this season's Heineken Cup along with some of the November Tests.
Ireland kick-off their autumn Test series with a match against South Africa on November 10 and Ireland boss Declan Kidney will hope to have Kearney - who is regarded as one of the best fullbacks in the northern hemisphere - available.
"There's no major damage with Rob," Leinster boss Joe Schmidt explained to the Irish Independent. "He's very uncomfortable. There's quite a bad haematoma there, with that bad blood being a real irritant, and hopefully as that drains away he should come right quite quickly. He won't be available for Munster but maybe beyond that we'd cross our fingers."
But in better news for Kidney, 2009 British & Irish Lions captain Paul O'Connell is set to make his long awaited comeback from injury against Leinster on Saturday. He has been sidelined since May and is hopeful of making the bench for the all-Irish affair.

City council has approved a request for a cash advance on next year's budget to help the non-profit Assiniboine Park Conservancy cover cost overruns at the Assiniboine Park Zoo's new Arctic exhibit.
On Wednesday, council voted unanimously to approve a $4.5-million advance on the 2015 capital budget to help Assiniboine Park Zoo deal with a shortage of cash flowing from the completion of the $94.4-million Journey to Churchill exhibit.
The new exhibit, part of a broader $200-million redevelopment of Assiniboine Park, is slated to open July 3. The cost overruns are due to heating and hoarding charges incurred during the winter, park officials told the city.
Council also voted Wednesday afternoon to approve a list of six road-and-bridge construction priorities that the city would like to see Ottawa fund under a new national infrastructure program.
In the morning, council voted 14-2 to change the way EPC members are selected. Instead of the mayor choosing six councillors to sit on the committee alongside him, council will have the opportunity to choose three while the mayor will appoint three.
The change would not go into effect until after October's civic election and would require the province to amend the City of Winnipeg charter.
Couns. Harvey Smith (Daniel McIntyre) and Paula Havixbeck (Charleswood-Tuxedo) voted against the change.
Yet to come today is a debate over $590 million in funding to complete the second phase of the Southwest Transitway and widen the Pembina underpass at Jubilee Avenue.
Councillors are also expected to debate North Kildonan Coun. Jeff Browaty's proposal to hold a fall plebiscite over the transitway funding.

iPhone 5S box leak, new Home Button?
Alleged photos of the iPhone 5S box were recently posted on a Chinese site. Notably, the Home Button no longer appears to have the rounded square icon — a previously rumored change. Instead, there's a gray ring around the Home Button, which has also been rumored.
Some have speculated that the gray rings in Apple's official Sept. 10 event invitation allude to the gray iPhone 5S ring. If the photos are legitimate, the box would mark a return to 3GS-era packaging, as boxes for the iPhone 4, 5, and 5S all had an angled front view of the devices. The low-quality photos make the leaks questionable, but certainly not inconceivable. [via C Tech]
Update: iPhoneinCanada posted much clearer versions of the same photos — we've replaced the lower quality photos with the better pictures, and added two additional pictures, which feature a better view of the iPhone 5S name on the side of the box.

Acer Announces First NVIDIA Ion2-Based Netbook 94
from the one-less-underpowered-thing dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
You can get a decent balance though. Have you seen the new alienware? C2D 1.3 CULV, GT335M,
say 3 hours with a midrange card. Or more with switchable, like macbook pro.
The Asus U30Jc looks particularly tasty for the lighter option + with the new optimus switchable feature from Nvidia (supposed to be seamless, no need to manually toggle). Hopefully more models with powerful GPUs are on the way
http://zedomax.com/blog/2010/01/08/asus-u30jc-hands-on-review-at-ces-2010/ [zedomax.com]
If cash is no issue and you want small/light the new Alienware looks wicked. 11" but proper midrange card! They claim over 6 hours battery life when not running games.

Tibet's known as the roof of the world because it's the highest inhabited region on earth (ie. you can sing the king of the castle song on repeat THE WHOLE TIME YOU'RE HERE).
It's also one of the most spiritual places in the world, which means if you don't come home with prayer flags you basically have no soul. Seriously though, this is a pretty magical place: pilgrims visit, mountains soar, and the locals are probably the friendliest humans going.
There are also momo (meaty dumplings) in abundance, and you know how we feel about dumplings (hint: we feel good about them).
We can't wait to show you this rad little corner of the earth. She's pretty special.
Is this real life ... Read more on the blog
You don't need to be religious to make the most of a spiritual journey. Just be prepared to open yourself up to a deeper travel experience, man. ... Read more on the blog
Travelling across the 'Roof of the World' is true, enlightening adventure in every sense. High altitudes, spectacular mountain scenery, amazing monasteries, tucked away villages and serene locals make for a magical place and unforgettable, soul-soaring travel.
Trekking through Tibet and heading overland past Mount Everest to Nepal is the full Himalaya experience, taking in its hidden secrets, majestic panoramas, warm people and stunning peaks.
But there is more to the Himalaya than its enormous peaks and troughs: Kathmandu's relaxed and welcoming vibe, Lhasa's monasteries and the impressive Potala Palace, Pokhara's serene lake, Chitwan's flora and fauna, white water rafting and tropical forest elephant trekking.
However you experience the Himalaya you'll breathe deep and be amazed by this land of giants on a most unforgettable high mountain adventure.View all Himalaya trips

Its in the best interest of insurers to demand safety measures for factories such as oil refineries as well as demanding that settlements along coastal areas to carry higher premiums.

Its in the best interest of insurers to demand safety measures for factories such as oil refineries as well as demanding that settlements along coastal areas to carry higher premiums.
I don't have the figures, but you missed the wenchuan earthquake of 2008 in china, where as it turned out, everything was 'insured' in effect by the government if not covered by insurance providers.
schools, hospitals, dwellings and infrastructures in fact the whole towns destroyed or demolished have been rebuilt new to higher safety standards and better living environment, with every surveying resident settled from temporary housing to completely new housing units within 3 years of the killing earthquake.
Has anyone computed the long-term costs of 9/11? The billions spent in airport and border security, the billions lost in inconveniencing millions of people I guess no one is insured against these things unlike more tangible events like hurricanes and earthquakes. I wouldn't be surprised if these costs dwarfed anything you are talking about.
The key takeaway is that over the long-term, man is building increasingly complex (and expensive) structures in increasingly hazardous conditions (e.g. housing in disaster prone areas, rigs in harsh weather conditions).
It would be interesting to have an additional overlay of insurance company profits. I personally think since the 70's people have been more worried about leaving things uninsured. There's also the myriad of new types of insurances sold with consumer electronics to help bolster insurance companies finances.
The Economist might have noted that Americans use about 125 Billion gallons of gasoline a year, which puts the $ 70 Billion cost of one storm, hurricane Sandy, at roughly 60 cents/gallon.
Anybody still think that gasoline is under-taxed?
Seismic zones and large bodies of warm water seem to be hazardous locations. Perhaps rates are going to go up, or already have? Choosing to live in harm's way may mean paying ever more for the privilege of being foolish.
Forgot one, man-made 2008 Financial Crisis - cost $10+ trillion.
Landslides in Brazil claimd the lives of 900 people in 2011. 27 this year alone.
Insurance? What insurance? It is Brazil, remember!
Hurricane Sandy was called a Frankenstorm by the National Wheater service. Why? It combined a 990- foot wide hurricane with a cold front and another storm, as well as high tides from a full moon.
If Mother Nature doesn't kill you, she'll at least cost you a lot of money.
It will be interesting to see the correlation between the trend in weather uncertainties and insured losses. My guess is that, in the coming years as weather becomes more uncertain due to factors such as Global Warming etc. the Insurance losses go up - i.e. they have a positive correlation !

?? on reusing pots
I recently repotted a AV I got from HD into a Oyama pot. Unfortunately, it got leaf mealy bugs. It was isolated, so it didn't infect any others and I treated it twice with malathion spray. It now has crown rot and I will probably throw it out rather than spend the time to save it.
Can I reuse the Oyama pot if I run it through the dishwasher? Or can it be reused with some other cleaning method? I hate to throw out a good pot, but don't want to chance infecting another plant.
Any good ideas?
Elaine -
if you soak your Oyama in a hot water with 1/3 Clorax and dishwashing soap - I am pretty sure that it will be clean. After that - wipe it with a rubbing alcohol. They cannot take alcohol.
But - the leaf mealies can park their eggs on the shelf, under the shelf, in all kind of nooks and crannies. I would spray the whole area with alcohol.
I agree with Nancy - Malathion is harsh - and it kills the growth point of the violet. And if you take a couple leaves right now, trim them - wash in alcohol, recut - and put for rooting - and send the rest of the plant to the garbage, you will get new happy plantlets and get rid of the pest.
good luck
Thanks for the advice. Unfortunately, I waited too long to take a leaf, as when I looked at it today, all the leaves are mushy. Oh, well, good lesson learned about pesticides, buying plants at HD, and keeping plants isolated. At least I got one of the three right! :)
I've got plenty others to occupy me for now!

William Cowper was an English poet and hymnodist. One of the most popular poets of his time, Cowper changed the direction of 18th century nature poetry by writing of everyday life and scenes of the English countryside. In many ways, he was one of the forerunners of Romantic poetry. Samuel Taylor Coleridge called him "the best modern poet", whilst William Wordsworth particularly admired his poem 'Y ...moreMore about William Cowper...
