My plane got slower as it got higher??
I am a firm beleiver that there is no such thing as a stupid question. The ony way we learn things is to ask when we don't know. With that being said, here is my stupid question
On December 17, 2003 I took a flight in my plane to celebrate the Wright Brothers first flight. I climbed my lowly Skyhawk up to 10,500 feet for no other reason that to say I was that high in my plane. I tooled around at the altitude for a short time and noticed something. My airspeed was only indicating about 95mph instead of the 115mph I see at, lets say, 5000. I didn't think much about it at the time.
Last night I took a 100 mile cross country to attend an AOPA safety seminar. I flew out at 5500' and cruised at 115mph. On the way home I flew at 8500' and only indicated 95 mph.
I watched the GPS and took into account the near zero wind at that altitude and have concluded that thats all the faster I was going. I surmised that as I got higher, with the change in airpressure, that maybe the airspeed indicator would not give me an accurate reading. But as I compared that to the GPS I don't know that I beleieve that now.
So the stupid part of the question is this, does a plane such as mine (non-turbo charged) slow down like that with altitude due to the airpressure being less and the engine therefor not producing as much power?
Below 5000 I stay in the green arc of the tach at 2450 RPM. Above 5000 I run it at 2600 rpm which is in the yellow arc.
I would love to hear you take on this....
Re: My plane got slower as it got higher??
Dave, you stated "I surmised that as I got higher, with the change in airpressure, that maybe the airspeed indicator would not give me an accurate reading." Very good deduction--that is exactly what is happening--hard to believe you didn't learn this in pilot training--no offense meant. As you gain altitude, indicated airspeed decreases but true airspeed increases (with the same power setting). Sounds like you may have also let the power setting slip a little if there was a 20 mph difference between IAS at 5000 vs. 8500 msl. Does your airspeed indicator have an outer ring that slides--called a TAS computer? At any rate, please read up on the difference between True airspeed and Indicated airspeed---it will make you a better and safer pilot.
Re: My plane got slower as it got higher??
One other thought that may help; as you climb, the engine produces less power due to the thinner air, so in order to produce the same HP output at higher alts. you must increase the throttle setting as you climb. In fact, you will have to increase the RPM's also to maintain a certain % of power (i.e. 75% power). At some point, the throttle will hit the firewall and then the rpm's are gonna start decreasing as you climb any further past that point. That alt. is probably your best cruising alt., but you should consult the POH for specifics.
Re: My plane got slower as it got higher??
Have you ever gone for a walk or hike at 6,000' or higher?
Assuming you're a "low lander" like me, you'll find that you're out of breath in pretty short order. You may not be walking/running as fast as you otherwise would.
Here on the west coast with the Sierras (Lake Tahoe) only 4 hrs (driving) away. Many people here are familiar with the sensation...I've found that to be a pretty good analogy to explain why the normally asperated planes have a service ceiling.
Bigger, more efficient lungs do better at higher altitudes, up to a point. Mt Everest type climbers have to take oxygen (as do pilots at those altitudes). The engines need turbo chargers to exceed their normaly asperated service ceilings. Turbo chargers were origonally invented for airplanes.
When you were on your celebratory flight...If you kept climbing, or trying to climb...you would have eventually slowed to your stall (fall) speed. The previous owner of my Skylane relayed a story to me of when he got cleared from 19.5K to 21.5K. The controller told him, "If you can get there, you're cleared". As he was just reaching 21K', he suddenly found himself recovering from a stall at 17K'. I guess it was pretty exciting.
On my x/c flights...as a general rule, the longer the flight the higher the cruise alt. If I'm going to exceed a couple of hours, I'll usually go to 8.5K'+
Your POH should have some tables in it telling you what your fuel usage whould be at given altitudes at different power settings.
Personally...I like it up there :-)
Re: My plane got slower as it got higher??
I have a Turbo 210 and typically cruise at between 12,000 and 15,000 feet - as indicated above, the advantages of a turbo are apparent at these altitudes. One advantage of cruising at this altitude is that you're generally above much of the GA traffic which is often well below this. A rule of thumb that I have used in the past is that no more than 10% of your anticipated trip length should be in the climb mode. A two hour trip combined with a 500 ft/min climb would suggest 6000 feet.
Re: My plane got slower as it got higher??
I normally calc my cruise at 110 kn, usually I can maintain 115 kn or slightly more but the 110 is a little conservative for planning purposes.
Several years ago I only flew locally, but now I frequently fly in the 150 to 250 nm range. After I got used to the cross country they make my 172 more fun and usefull. On that note I determine my approx cruise alt by the winds aloft almost always - only on very short flights do the winds aloft receive a low priority.
even on a 140 nm trip I routinely make, the winds aloft make a big difference. I recently departed to 3000 ft then after crossing some pressure lines I spent the time to climb to 6500, and then the trip home was at about 2500. On very windy days I've had ground speeds only around 80 kn - but then again the trip home my ground speed was over 150 kn.
An interesting thing though when the headwinds have been quite strong they always seem to die down ( at least a little ) before I head home - on the other hand It seems like if I had a tail wind going there it has turned into a more severe headwind for the trip home. I know you can do the math, and I keep in touch with the weather svc, and when I travel at certain times of the day thats the what I could expect, but it's still interesting
The only other thing that receives a higher priority - when family or passengers are on board - is at what alt the " smooth air " is at.

Re: My plane got slower as it got higher??
Thanks everyone for the advice.
I really enjoyed flying the other night at 8500', but acording to my POH at that altitude, at 2600' RPM (70% power) I should see a cruise of 124mph. HA HA, no way, my plane was bearly doing 95mph.. It's probably time to have the engine overhauled, it's been 30 years...
Whats an E6B? Kidding. I haven't used mine in almost 15 years My GPS has an E6B screen on it, thats what I use I know, I know, I should practice once in a while with the real thing
Re: My plane got slower as it got higher??
Was that 124 MPH in the POH in Indicated Airspeed (IAS) or True Airspeed (TAS)? If it was listed as TAS, then you were going a lot closer to it than you think, if the 95MPH you mentioned was IAS. IAS decreases as you climb, even as TAS increases. Read up on them. Also, how do you know your tach is accurate? OR the airspeed indicator itself?
Re: My plane got slower as it got higher??
Bob; the tach and cable were replaced last year. They are new. I routinely match the IAS with my GPS, in both no wind and wind situations where I know what the wind is. I the airspeed indicator beleive it to be with a few MPH of the GPS.
The 124 MH is IAS accoriding to the manual. I beleive part of the problem has to do with the engine being so old and it's probably not producing as much power as it once did
Re: My plane got slower as it got higher??
Dave; I think the message is getting a little mixed here. Lets consider an aircraft with a normally aspirated engine and a fixed pitch propeller at full throttle climbing from sea level to altitude at a constant IAS. As we increase in altitude the rate of climb will decrease - this is due to the reduction in air density decreasing the effective power available. Simplistically - less air - less mass flow/charge weight - less power. Rate of climb is dependant upon the difference between power available and power required. Power required is a function of TAS and increases slightly compared to the more significant loss in power available. Eventually we will have reached a point where we are no longer able to climb. If our climb speed at this point was Vy this is our absolute ceiling.
This change in density also effects or air/fuel ratio. The engine is set up for sea level operation when we climb - less air / same fuel - engine runs rich usually necessitating the requirement to lean as we climb. Most manufactures recommend leaning in the climb above 5000ft AMSL.
In regard to stalling at 21k the IAS for the stall is essentially constant below the tropopause. If it stalls at 50knots indicated at sea level it will stall at 50knots indicated at 21k. Please note that the speed for maximum excess power (Vy) will usually always be greater than your stall speed.
As for the cruise. If you look at your POH you will see that to maintain a constant horsepower cruise, say 75%, you will need to increase RPM as you increase your cruising altitude. This will give you a relatively constant TAS cruise which will imply a decrease in indicated airspeed. At typical 172 speeds you will lose 1.5 to 2 knots indicated per 1000ft if you maintain a constant horsepower (not throttle position) cruise.
A rough rule of thumb for calculating TAS is: CAS(use IAS) + CAS (use IAS) in nautical miles per minute(divide by 60) multiplied by altitude in 1000s of feet ie. 90KIAS at 10,000ft is approximately 90 + (90/60x10) = 105KTAS - rough but close enough.
Your POH will probably show that above 7000 or 8000ft you will be unable to achieve a 75% cruise ie. you will be at full throttle. If you climb above this level both TAS and IAS will now decrease. If the winds aloft are favourable (tailwinds) it still may be more advantageous to climb and accept the lower TAS but higher groundspeed due increased tailwind. If your engine is a bit tired you may find you are not able to achieve the POH figures and you will reach full throttle at a lower altitude for a given hp cruise.
I hope this is not too long and complicated. As with most things in aviation there are always exception and variations, the above is a simplification for what is hopefully a practical explanation.
Re: My plane got slower as it got higher??
Yes, your engine develops less power at that altitude.
If you were at 10,500 ft and it was 5 degrees C there. and it was 29.92 baro that day. Your density alt was 11,730 and pressure alt was 10,500.
If that is about true your indicated airspeed would be 95 Knots and your TRUE AIRSPEED would be 113.2 knots.
As for winds, the scientific wild guessers are usually not right. So you have to cruise in three or four directions to get an idea of the winds with your GPS. But if you are heading home and climbing who has time for that stuff.
Re: My plane got slower as it got higher??
The only winds you are usually concerned about are the Head/Tail wind component on your current route. Your GPS will effectively give you an immediate indication of your groundspeed. If you know your TAS then you also immediately know your Head/Tail wind component. There is no requirement to cruise in three or four directions. ie. if you were climbing at 90KIAS passing 5000ft and you groundspeed was 110Kts off the GPS. Your TAS by the rule of thumb mentioned above would be 98kts therefore your tail wind is approximately 12kts (rough figures).
This is handy because if you continue to climb to 9000ft indicating 90KIAS and your groundspeed was still 110kts you have picked up approximately 6kts in TAS but nothing in groundspeed so the tailwind component must have decreased. Whether you stay there or not depends on many factors, turbulence, terrain, ability to hold the same cruise TAS at both levels, etc........
(for 70KIAS climb use ~1.2kts per 1000ft ie. 70/60=1.16nm per minute)
If you were that way inclined you could compare your track made good to your heading and your Head/Tail wind component and deduce an actual wind at that point in time by mental dead reckoning. Most modern GPS have a manual TAS input to enable wind to be displayed.

Patented Oct. 23, 1951 OFFICE PROCESS OF CLEANING EMULSIONS OFF FILMS Anthony John Stybel, Bayonne, N. J.
No Drawing. Application June 11, 1947, Serial No. 754,051
4 Claims.
This invention relates to a process for cleaning the emulsion off of films, and especially, in which the films are passed successively through solutions in the treating of the films, and in which one of the solutions stops the action of the bleaching agents employed in the previously used solutions, the object of the invention being to permit the films to be passed at a high rate of speed, such as 25 feet per minute and to economically accomplish the purposes of the invention efficiently and expeditiously. However, the rate of speed depends upon the size of the tanks.
Another object of the invention is to treat films with solutions or formulas therefor, by which the emulsions may be cleaned off films expeditiously, and in which the quantity of water may be varied or added more-or-less, as found desirable, and wherein the silver salts will settle at the bottom of one of the solutions in impure form, although bleaches may be used instead of sodium hypochlorite therein and the solution drained off from the impure silver salts, for continued use or reuse.
In accordance with the present invention, the films are passed successively in the following solutions:
(1) Water, at 60 F. to 110 F., one (1) to two (2) gallons, depending upon the size of the tank available.
(2) Sodium hypochlorite solution 60 F. to 100 F. two (2) gallons or sodium hypochlorite powder one (1) pound and one (1) gallon of water at 60 F. to 100 F. in which the solution or powder is thoroughly dissolved.
(3) Hypochlorous acid one-half gallon to two (2) gallons of water at 60 F. to 100 F.
(4) Sodium sulfite one (1) pound to two (2) gallons of water at 60 F. to 100 F.
(5) By running water two (2) gallons, are contained in suitable tanks which are acid resistant, a rate of speed being 25 feet per minute through which the films are successively passed in the order stated, the rate of speed depending upon the size of the tanks.
Water can be added more-or-less, in solutions 2, 3 and 4.
In the solution 2, the impure silver salts will settle at the bottom of the solution and the solution may be drained oil for continued or reuse.
In solution 2, instead of sodium hypochlorite, chlorine bleaches may be used and substituted therefor.
Solution 1 is to swell the emulsions on the films at a temperature of 60 F. to 110 F.
Solution 2 is the most important part, because the emulsion comes off in this solution. The
sodium hypochlorite is an active bleaching agent and acts on the emulsion on the films but the solution 4 or sodium sulfite produces an interaction between the solutions and on the films, in that the solution 4 stops the action of the bleaching agent and fixes the progress and action thereof. When the emulsion starts to appear white in color, this means that the solution 2 has weakened and is drained ofi and replaced by a new solution. The solution which has been drained is put aside to settle because the silver salts will settle at the bottom of the solution, for continued use or reuse thereof.
The solution 3 or hypochlorous acid is also an active bleaching agent and acts on the excess of emulsion some of which may be left on the films when the films come out of the solution 2. Also, chlorine water and chloride of lime can be used instead of the hypochlorous acid in the same proportions as a bleaching agent, because they are also active bleaching agents, especially at the temperatures indicated.
The solution 4 or sodium sulfite, is to stop the active bleaching agents reaction on the films, especially when the proper results are attained.
The water, running, in number 5 step, is used to wash the films because the films contain salts from solutions, 2, 3 and 4 and the tank containing the running water must be supplied continuously with the water to present a clear and clean solution. The films are then dried for five minutes at F. and are ready for reuse. This process does not damage the films in any way.
It will thus be seen that I have provided an expeditious treatment for films for removing the emulsion coating therefrom, which may be speedily and efficiently operated, so that the films are ready for use when dried after treatment.
1 do not desire to limit to the exact proportions stated and as pointed out, the temperatures and proportions are critical, in order to permit the expeditious treatment of the films, for removing the emulsions therefrom, as described. The chlorine bleaches can be used instead of sodium hypochlorite, chlorine water, chloride of lime or the like in the same proportions with the water as stated in connection with the hypochlorous acid, producing active ingredients or bleaching agents, especially at the temperatures indicated which are bound to give the best results. Therefore I do not desire to be limited to the exact proportions stated, but reserve the right to vary the 3 same within the scope of the invention as claimed.
Having described the invention, what is claimed as new is:
1. A process of cleaning and removing emulsions of silver salts in gelatin from photographic films comprising first passing the film through a first water bath to swell the emulsions on the film, then passing the film through an aqueous sodium hypochlorite solution to precipitate the 10 silver salts as silver chloride, thereafter passing the film through an aqueous hypochlorous acid solution to complete the precipitation of the silver salts as silver chloride, then passing the film through an aqueous sodium sulfite solution, and finally washing the film in water.
2. The process of claim 1 wherein said first water bath is maintained at a temperature of 60 to 110 F. and the remainder of the solutions are maintained at a temperature of 60 to 100 F.
3. The process of claim 1 wherein the ingredients of said solutions are employed in the following proportions: 1 pound sodium hypochlorite to 1 gallon of water; gallon hypochlorous acid to two gallons of water; and one pound of sodium sulfite to 2 gallons of water.
4. The process of claim 3 wherein said first water bath is maintained at a temperature of 60 to 110 F. and the remainder of the solutions are maintained at a temperature of 60 to 100 F.

TUESDAY - March 8, 2011
NEW BERN - United States Attorney George E.B. Holding announced that in federal court on February 25, 2011 Chief United States District Judge Louise W. Flanagan sentenced THOMAS EARL SMITH, 29, of Pembroke, North Carolina, to 135 months' imprisonment followed by five years supervised release.
A Federal Grand Jury returned a Criminal Indictment on February 17, 2010. On July 29, 2010, SMITH pled guilty to conspiring to distribute and possess with intent to distribute 50 grams or more of cocaine base (crack) and a quantity of cocaine and possession of a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking offense.
The investigation, which started from complaints from the community, regarding SMITH's illegal drug distribution from his Pembroke residence, included numerous controlled purchases. The total amount of illegal drug sales by SMITH of crack cocaine was more than 175 grams and 152 grams of powder cocaine. SMITH, a previously convicted felon, also possessed multiple firearms during his drug trafficking activities, which included among others a Smith & Wesson .40 caliber pistol and an RG Industries .22 caliber revolver.
Investigation of this case was conducted by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation, the North Carolina Division of Alcohol Law Enforcement, and the Robeson County Sheriff's office.
News releases are available on the U. S. Attorney's web page at www.usdoj.gov/usao/nce within 48 hours of release.

Artist Info
In the pantheon of body parts romanticized in song, the heart is clearly the favorite while the lung is as overlooked and misunderstood as a gangly feminist at a beauty pageant. But in Lung of Love, Amy Ray's sixth solo album in a decade, the punk-folk icon gives the humble apparatus its due.
Ray has always been on the side of the underdogs. In the mid 1970s, Amy Ray was a Georgia 'tween, plucking out Partridge Family songs on her guitar and dreaming of becoming David Cassidy, the ardent teen idol who got all the girls. She loved the psychedelic hippies like Janis Joplin and Jimi Hendrix, too. A poetic tomboy with big green eyes, Ray began writing songs about injustice and the tragedy of unrequited love, and playing her music in the schoolyard. "Even then, I had a sense that what I was writing was not for authority," says Ray. "I wrote for me and my peers."
By age 15, Ray was making music as "Saliers and Ray" with her school friend, Emily. After a chance glance through the dictionary to find a word they liked, Saliers and Ray were reborn as the Indigo Girls —a Grammy award-winning, multiplatinum-selling, social justice-promoting beloved folk-rock duo with dozens of recordings and thousands of tour dates under their belts.
At 36, Ray released Stag in 2000, her first solo album. Although she'd been writing folk, then rock, music for a majority of her life, Ray sensed that neither was the ideal form for what she was trying to express. "When I first listened to Patti Smith or The Replacements, I thought, 'That's the way I feel, but I can't figure out how to write that [kind of] song,'" she told indie-artist Lois Maffeo in a 2000 interview. "It took me a long time to figure it out."
"It's not like I felt short changed or blocked by the Indigo Girls," says Ray. "But there was something I was trying to express that didn't fit into that format." Stag, she says, "was a desperate attempt to get these songs out of my system." The record was eclectic—Gothic ballads ("Johnny Rottentail"), raucous odes to suffrage feminists ("Lucystoners"), and a pin-drop quiet song about the death of her grandma ("Lazyboy"). It was recorded piecemeal, all around the country. The effect was raw, urgent, and exciting.
Prom, in 2005, was more "thematic and focused." Ray created a band of "punk royalty"—Donna Dresch and Jody Bleyle from Team Dresch, Kate Schellenbach from Luscious Jackson—and played with the same musicians throughout the record. "I wanted to work in a structured, less frenetic way," says Ray. Prom evoked the epic feelings of the high school era, whether it was coming out in a small town ("Rural Faggot") or the sureness of a pro-life zealot in the anthemic "Let It Ring." She was touring so much as a solo artist that she released Live from Knoxville in 2006.
By Didn't It Feel Kinder in 2008, Ray worked with her first producer since launching her solo career—Greg Griffith, who had produced Le Tigre, The Butchies, and Vitapup. The fine-tuning Griffith pushed Ray's gritty but always flexible "voice into new territory," and added "extra sparkle and sheen in the production," according to Paste magazine. The partnership rendered her third solo album the most musically mature and heartbreaking.
Greg Griffith is back in Lung of Love—and this time as a co-writer, the first time Ray has collaborated as a songwriter.
"In a way, I came back to the frenetic expression of Stag," says Ray. "I didn't try to make the songs hang together musically or lyrically in any thematic way. I just used what I learned about songwriting, performance, when to keep a vocal, when to throw it away, and tried to edit the songs until they were short and sweet." Short and sweet, indeed. Each song is a perfectly imperfect confection presented in her tender, scratchy voice. Backed by Greg Griffith (Bass and Guitars), Julie Wolf (Keys), and former Butchies Melissa York (Drums) and Kaia Wilson (Guitars and Vocals), the songs have an urgent, bright economy. Guest vocalists pop up throughout the record, including Brandi Carlile, Jim James, and Lindsay Fuller. Although the songs are threaded together by an economy and craft of writing, they cover a diverse musical geography, from Appalachia to Punk Rock.
As a beloved Indigo Girl, Ray has long been known for her big muscular heart, as a solo artist though; she has indisputably found her voice.

The mission of the Department of Veterans Service is to serve Georgia's 752,000-plus veterans and their families in all matters pertaining to veterans benefits.
The State Board of Veterans Service recommends policy, procedure, and work projects to the Commissioner, and through him controls overall Department policy.
The Department's mission falls into two basic tasks: informing veterans and their families about veterans benefits, and directly assisting and advising veterans and their families in securing the federal and state benefits to which they are entitled.
The Department maintains a Claims Staff in the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Atlanta Regional Office, 1700 Clairmont Road, Decatur; operates field offices with itinerant service across the state; and provides representatives in the Atlanta, Augusta, and Dublin VA Medical Centers and various VA Community-Based Outpatient Clinics throughout the state.
The Department owns the Georgia War Veterans Home in Milledgeville, which is operated under contract with United Veteran Services of Norcross and the Georgia War Veterans Nursing Home in Augusta, which is operated under contract with Georgia Regents University.
The Department owns and operates two state veterans cemeteries, one in Glennville (near Fort Stewart) and the other in Milledgeville (in the central part of the state). Both of these cemeteries are part of the VA's National Cemetery System and are governed by the same VA standards for operations and burial policy as the National Cemeteries across the nation.
The Department of Veterans Service assists veterans and their families in filing claims and securing medical evidence and other data necessary to prosecute their claims filed with VA and other federal and state agencies.
The Department of Veterans Service also serves as the state approving agency for education programs administered by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.

Summer Roundup: Adult and Youth Academic Programs
by Bethany Geiger '10
This summer, Bard College at Simon's Rock introduced two new academic programs to our campus: The Berkshire Writing Workshop, an adult program for writers from all over the country, and the Simon's Rock Summer Youth Enrichment Program, a day program designed to offer local teenagers the experience of studying at Simon's Rock. And this year, the Young Writer's Workshop celebrates its 30th year of teaching high school students the ins and outs of thinking through writing.
Berkshire Writing Workshop
As one can tell from our rigorous curriculum, the Writing and Thinking Workshop, and the annual Leslie Sanders contest, Simon's Rock has always been especially dedicated to the subject of writing. Now, our dedication has extended past the usual group of students and potential students.
This year, we welcomed to campus the 2012 Berkshire Writing Workshop, a five-day intensive program for adult writers.
Attended by both published and aspiring authors, the Berkshire Writing Workshop focused on two genres. Alison Lobron, a regular contributor for The Boston Globe Magazine, led the group through five days of rigorous memoir writing. The separate group of fiction writers was led by Brendan Mathews, Simon's Rock professor and author featured in The Best American Short Stories 2010.
The writers, separated into these two focused groups, concentrated mainly on the development of new and original work. Combined with rigorous writing exercises, the workshop also featured live readings and Q&A sessions with renowned writers such as Helen Epstein and Eleanor Henderson.
Summer Youth Enrichment Program
New this year, the Summer Youth Enrichment Program is a day camp program designed for local middle and high school students. Classes meet for three hours a day (some morning, some afternoon) and the students spend the day learning and enjoying themselves.
"I had the idea because I am the parent of a 13-year-old," says Jennifer Browdy de Hernandez, the mastermind behind this project. "So I know there's very little in the area for younger teens to do that is academically enriching... on a day camp basis, there's just not that much available."
At the new program, students have the opportunity to learn in an environment similar to the Simon's Rock college experience. "One of the things that we love about Simon's Rock is the small class size and the intimate relationship with the faculty, so we get to show that off," Browdy de Hernandez says proudly. "And it's probably really refreshing for a lot of these kids, who are used to at least 20 other kids in a class."
The campers meet in small groups with full-time Simon's Rock professors who all possess the highest qualifications in their areas of study. The subjects offered at the camp cover everything from blogging, to 3D animation, to ecology field study. "At Simon's Rock, we have three hours a week with our students, and at the camp we have three hours a day," Browdy de Hernandez explains. "So we're compressing half a semester into just one week."
What about the future of this innovative new program? Can we expect to see it offered in the future? "The response has been very encouraging," she tells us, laughing. "I've actually received inquiries from a lot of adults who were interested in these classes!"
As to why the program holds such an appeal, Browdy de Hernandez holds unwavering confidence in the way the program is fashioned in the Simon's Rock style. "We want you to walk away knowing something you didn't know before, and also have had a good time. There are no grades. There's no homework. It's just learning for the joy of learning."
30th Annual Young Writers' Workshop
This summer, from July 22 to August 11, 84 high school students from 18 states, as well as South Korea, Burma, Hong Kong, and Canada, come together on the Bard College at Simon's Rock campus to attend the 30th annual Young Writers Workshop. Since 1986 it has been directed by Jamie Hutchinson, faculty member in English at Simon's Rock --making it one of the oldest and largest summer writing programs in the country.
The workshop, which focuses on using informal, playful, expressive writing activities designed to strengthen students' language and thinking skills, is modeled after the innovative three-week Workshop in Language and Thinking required of all entering students at Bard College (a shorter version of this pre-college workshop is required of entering students at Simon's Rock). Along with summer workshops at Lewis and Clark College and Lake Forest College, the Young Writer's Workshop belongs to the National Writing and Thinking Network, an extension of the Bard College Institute for Writing and Thinking.
Students regularly work in small writing groups, helping one another find ways to develop their informal writing into more polished pieces, ranging from personal narratives to stories, poems, and exploratory essays. Each week students will meet with their workshop leader to discuss a portfolio of "works in progress," not for purposes of evaluation but as a way to help discover further directions for revision.
"Much of our focus," according to Hutchinson, "is on encouraging students to experiment with new voices and directions in their writing. Because we agree with the poet and essayist Diane Ackerman that '[Play] is our brain's favorite way of learning and maneuvering,' we tend to bring a spirit of playfulness into everything that we do."
The young writers live on campus in the College's dormitories, along with members of the Simon's Rock Student Life staff. During the workshop, they'll have the opportunity to attend various off-campus cultural events, ranging from plays at Shakespeare and Company to dance concerts at Jacob's Pillow to exhibitions of modern art at MASS MoCA. Weekly on-campus activities will include films, readings, lectures, concerts, crafts, and dances.
Former workshop participants have gone on to attend such colleges as Amherst, Bard, Harvard, Haverford, Kenyon, Princeton, Simon's Rock, Smith, Williams, and Yale.

Louisville Vegan Jerky Co. is running a crowd-funding campaign on Indiegogo to change its current packaging. Tim Harris
The UpTake: Vegan jerky? Really? Yes, really, as this Louisville company shows, it's not just possible, but some people like it. And further, the company is going to see whether others are willing to back it on Indiegogo.
He now works in a kitchen on Brook Street in Old Louisville Mondays through Wednesdays, making 800 to 1,200 2.5-ounce bags of jerky a week. The bags are shipped to more than 50 stores in 16 states, including Illinois, California, Ohio, Michigan and, of course, Kentucky.
The retail price ranges from $6.50 to $7.99.
Locally, it's available at Heine Brothers' Coffee and Rainbow Blossom stores. Chase said he is going through an official application process in an effort to get into Lucky's Market and Whole Foods Market Inc. (NASDAQ: WFM) locations too.
Louisville Vegan Jerky Co. is running a crowd-funding campaign on the website Indiegogo to raise $10,000 to help pay for new packaging. As of early Friday, the campaign had raised nearly $3,000, with 20 days left.
The company has a new packaging design ready to go. But it would cost $15,000 to add the design to 40,000 bags, Chase said.
Crowd-sourced funds will "lessen the burden," he said. Depending on the level of contribution, sponsors can receive a sticker, T-shirt and/or bags of jerky.
And Chase noted that unlike many campaigns that seek startup money, his business has been operating for three years.

Let's get pinning!
On Open Forum, a blog overseen by American Express, Jennifer Gregory put together a nice little list of ways for businesses to "Unleash the Power of Pinterest."
Most of the suggestions can be used by journalists to help promote either the "brand" (read: the newspaper, in general) or, better yet, the content generated by the journalist.
I think this outlet is most suited to lifestyle content (arts, crafts, food, etc.) as opposed to breaking news, there's still plenty of opportunity to think outside the box.

Frederick Forsyth's Biafran story
If there was one journalist the late Biafran leader, Chief Emeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu trusted most, it must have been British-born Frederick Forsyth, who unashamedly supported the Biafran cause, and became Ojukwu's biographer and friend.
The case of the typewriter with which the British author wrote his first, and perhaps, greatest novel, The Day of the Jackal, has a bullet mark. The typewriter still occupies an important position in his London home. The bullet mark on the case has its history in the Nigerian civil war, which Forsyth covered first for the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) and later as a freelance reporter.
Forsyth's story cannot be complete without the Biafran angle to it. After he arrived in Nigeria to cover the war, he developed a relationship with the late leader of defunct Republic of Biafran, Chief Emeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu. The relationship produced two books; The Biafra Story: The Making of an African Legend, an account of the war first published in 1969, and Emeka, a biography of the late Biafran head of state published in 1982 - which he revised in the early 90s. It covers his youth, army training, the civil war, and his years in exile.
He strongly and publicly supported the Biafran cause. All through Ojukwu's 13 years in exile in Cote D' Ivoire, Forsyth made at least four visits every year.
The Biafra Story: The Making of an African Legend, first published in paperback by Penguin Books in 1969, marked Forsyth's transition from journalist to author. The book voiced Forsyth's outrage at the extreme of human violence and the duplicity of the Western governments who tacitly accepted or actively aided the violence. The research and experience of this work later found expression in another of Forsyth's fictional work, The Dogs of War.
Forsyth, who joined the British Royal Air Force as a pilot at 19, relived the incident which almost cost him his life in a recent interview with The Telegraph to mark the 40th anniversary of The Day of Jackal: "I was in my bungalow and I think it was a MiG that came over, strafing. The window went in and bang, churrrunk. I hit the floor and the plane went overhead."
The 73-year-old author said while in Biafra, he met hired guns for the first time. He said: "Some of the mercenaries were psychopaths, sociopaths, sadists and the cruelties they perpetrated have been recorded and are very unpalatable indeed. Others were just ex-soldiers, down on their luck. Well, I would tag along behind them on raids, behind Nigerian lines because that was the story. The other half of the story – of course – was the camps where the children were dying.
" I was sitting around campfires in the jungle doing my best to look non-threatening and listening to the scuttlebutt and the gossip. I heard some pretty miserable life stories, out of which came how to get a false passport, how to get a gun, how to break a neck."
The books he wrote with some of his experiences in Biafra turned his fortunes around. For instance, The Day of Jackal did far beyond his imagination. A small print run was planned. But to the surprise of both Forsyth and his publishers, buyers wanted more. He said: "Slowly, the orders began to move faster. It was all word of mouth. Then my publisher phoned me at 4 am in my bed-sit. He'd sold the book to an American publisher for $365,000, which was roughly £100,000. And I got half of that. I'd never seen money like it and never thought I would."

Finding common ground: What do we all agree upon?
I have during the past couple of months seen a wide range of different topics being disussed here on TED by a much more diverse group of people, with a much more diverse set of skills and interests, than I have ever witnessed in a single internet community before. People with different believes, from different parts of the world, and with very different backgrounds have engaged in dialouges that sometimes have been quite heated, but almost allways civilized, and to an astonishing extent very constructive.
So after all exchange that has happened, I can't help but wondering. What do we all agree upon? Can we create a collection of statements that we all seem to agree upon?
Edit: A list to add statements to and vote on statements with Google moderator has been created at http://goo.gl/mod/0073
Instructions: Click the link above, then "View ideas" and mark the statments you agree upon, or press "Add an idea" to add a completely new statement.
Dave Ashman
Jun 9 2011: water is importantMay 26 2011: My first try:
- +3
"we learn by exchanging ideas"
"(small groups of) individuals can initiate global change"
I think it would be really helpful to feed the statements/ideas/items, that were posted already, into a system were each individual item can be reacted to, for example google moderator.
I started it here as an example with my two items: http://goo.gl/mod/0073
Love to hear what you think about it (and feel free to add to it).
May 26 2011: Hi Sietse..nice to meet you and like your idea..
.couldn't connect with your link though..
could you recheck or advise?
Thnaks....sounds fruitful
May 27 2011: great to see it is used! hooray. :) I suggest to order the ideas on date when you're rating.
@Lindsay, I guess it's because you need a google-account. I have changed this setting, it should be open for everybody now, can you try again?
May 27 2011: thanks Sietse.. I think it wa sbecause I have a google avcount..it keeps going to my google account for covemeadow.. I was able to get in by typing the link in the google serach bar ( but not as a direct link)
But again, thnak you for assisting me.May 26 2011: This is great!
I added the list Debra compiled in another post and voted on your items.May 26 2011: What a fantastic addition to the discussion. Welcome and thank you Sietse!
Kristofer- how will we let the TED community know to vote and add?
May 26 2011: I have no idea about how. But hey, why restrict it to the TED community? =D
May 26 2011: Go big or go home, eh? I like it!May 27 2011: I wanted to suggest to add it to the opening post, but I see you have already done so. :)May 27 2011: @kristofer I'm confused a bit. Did you want to look for shared beliefs/values within the TED community or within humanity? I guess the first option is a more feasible start. ;)May 27 2011: Hi Sietse.. I finally connecetd to the site and added on the basis of there being certain Universal values which I added stated that way..with the idea tha our votes as a community would reveal what those values are...what values we share as a community.I have not seen here at Ted any emerging consensus as a community on things we as a community value..nothing is expolicit...conversatins never end with consensus..they are a process that feeds into our own lives our work in the world..those of us who stick it to the end I think are chnaged by the process we leave in a different place thatn where we started but there is never an explicit consensus.I saw your wonderful tool as a way to explore whether and to what extent there is amongst us, underneath all of our differences in ages, experience, values, approaches and life tsretgeies a true common ground in values.Any way I hope that i show it works,.I hope I haven't confsed the process. I kind of like the jumble of very different approaches that are expressed in the list elements. Some say they same thing in a different way ..does "everyone gets hungry" the same thing as saying "Freedom from hunger is a universal right". So what is sexpressed there are different points along a line from awareness to commitment or somehow other all connceted on a common path but expressing different places along that path.I love the diversity of thought, perspective, and values implicit in what you have given us a way to explore. I hope the entire Ted community will engage and add to it.Thank you for this valuable tool.May 27 2011: wongmo thanks. I understand.
Rights aren't ehat are granted or recognized..rights are inherent.
In other words..it is still an inherent right even if there is no law or supoortive structure toprotect it.
I framed all of mine in term sof universal rights really to ask what we all consider universal human rights..things that we as individuals and our many diffrent nation states should stand for and further and protect.May 27 2011: I am at home, so I can't go there. ;)
May 27 2011: Kristofer- It seems like you are leading us all to a real home!
Have all the ideas represented on this page been transferred over for voting?May 27 2011: Sietse; My hope was to find if there are some shared values that are quite universal, and I found the TED community to be an exeptional place to do so because of the diversity among the users. Even though I guess it scews toward liberalism, technology, and so forth.
My hypothesis is that we as humans actually are quite similar in our values, but that we differ much in the secondary opinions that we build upon these values, partly because of diffent emphasis on the relative importance of different values, partly because we attack the problem from different angles and holds different ideas about the problem.
In discussions about certain opinions I think we often fail to see that behind the disagreement we actually have built both of our opinions on the same set of basic values. An example; In the case of abortion the anti-abortion part overwhelmingly seems to believe that pro-abortion people just want to have sex without having to think about the consequences, while they actually are basing their argument on something much more similar to the anti-abortion part: the right to a life worth living. Another problem I see is that religious often seems to assume that atheists main reason for critizising religion is that the atheist wants to pursue their egoistic drive, while that very often not is the case, and the critique much more often are along the lines that there is side to religion that seems to be harmful to humanity
Missconceptions about the underlying motivation behind a certain opinion often makes dialouges not get as deep as they need to attack the real problem, and both parts seems to feel missundersood. No wonder as both holds missconceptions about the other persons underlying motivation.
So my hope were to find if there actually is a set of values that we can assume almost every person shares, so that in the future we can avoid assuming that others don't hold these values and move dialouges behind the point of missconception of the underlying motivation.
May 27 2011: I am on that page with you KristoferMay 27 2011: Even if we only have TED community participants, I would therefore hope that we not forthmost concentrated on finding secondary statements such as "development is needed to make the world economy sustainalbe", but rather first hand values such as "the world economy needs to be sustainable".
Wongmo,I agree.
Debra, I try to make a push, but then I see where everyone else goes and tries to follow. :) And yes, or at least all the ideas you collected in your thread has been transfered.
May 27 2011: There are other though Kristofer,
I would not know how to put in the Charter of Compassion,
These two are Sietse's:
we learn by exchanging ideas"
"(small groups of) individuals can initiate global change"May 28 2011: Sietse added has allready added his own contributions to the document.
I read through the charter for compassion but could not come up with a condensed sentence that summarized it.
May 29 2011: Since lots of folk in this conversation rsonate with the charter of compassion may we could take a crack ad summarizing each elemnt of it and posting each elemnt in our google moderator.
I think our ljumbled list is very good for priposes of this conversation but I would like to see us viist the Charter for Compassion as its own Ted Conversation... we could post each element exactl as it is as a separatee comment in Ted Convestaions and ask people to shpw agreement with a thumbs up and disagreement with a comment below. Would be very interesting and I thnk we could make it work within a Ted Convesration framework
I see we have stalled out on our google moderator for this conversation..nogrowth or change in a few days.May 29 2011: wouldn't that simply be the golden rule: '"treat others as you want to be treated"?May 30 2011: Sietse, that was my first thought too. But I hesitated as I didn't know if the particular wording could be sensitive in this case because it is expressed different in different religions. So I read through the charter once more in order to find a neutral wording, but realized that there was more going on in that text and that as Lindsay say, it may be possible to also break it into a few statements.
But I would certainly agree on "treat others as you want to be treated" and adding it is probably a good idea.Jun 7 2011: I guess you are the moderator for goo.gl/mod/0073..can you expand that so we can all comment or question what is there?
also how come when there is a sort by popularity the length of the bar doesn't correlate with position in the list? Doesn't the length of the bar indicate the number of afformative votes?
I have referred people in two of my conversations ( freedom of religion and foundations for a global alliance) to the moderator here and a few have visited.
I invite those who have posted here to join those two conversations.
The freedom of religion ones explores in depth one of the "values" posted at our moderator..whether freedom of religion protects "hate speech"
the foundations for global alliance is exploring two specific questions closely interconnected with our google moderator list.
(1) global concerns that supercede soverignty ( one of the specific values in our list)
(2)foundations for a global alliance is exploring what we would consider tobe universal human rights. All of my addition son our list and may of the others are being explored there. Provides a good opporunity to look at some o what we have listed in our moderator in depth ina context of universal human rights.May 23 2011: we prefer
piece over war
abundance over shortage
pleasure over pain
love over hatred
health over disease
succes over failure
And we can make other very broad universals in humans....
Though I don't know why one needs a broad-based agreement... as that will lead to a low common denominator.
And there is so much more on which we ought to agree upon (when it comes to facts) while we don't...
That said... can we all agree on math? or thermodynamics?
May 23 2011: I can agree with all of your preferences, Christophe and I would add them to my own list. I also think that many of us will agree on many scientific facts (although there will be a subset of people who will not) and that demonstrates a lot more common ground.
I do not see this as the lowest common denominator but rather as a lifeboat in a wide ocean where people can stand to build their lives in harmony.
May 23 2011: I agree Debra,
though how small do we allow this subset to be?
(this touches upon principles that relate to democracy vs technocracy... very interesting!)
Debra Smith
May 23 2011: Excellent question. I do think it comes down to democracy. If we cannot come to consensus we have to have a more direct form of democracy that allow us to go with the majority opinion.
- +1
I think that is what is happening here on TED conversations in a unique way. We vote with our attention and choice to argue our view points on this site. There are some questions that I consider fools bait and I avoid them- as they are building a very different kind of raft. I know there is a point of view or agenda that I do not choose to invest my time in. ( I used to tell my kids when they were frustrated that your knowledge belongs to you and it is a gift when you share it with others. The flip side is that it is also a precioius gift when they share theirs with you.)
However, where there is good will but wildy opposing views I am very keen to discuss why a person sees things so differently from the way I do. What do they know that I don't or that I did not rightly see. That is fabulously productive for me and I grow and I learn and sometimes I agree to see the world differently but always I come away better for it (even if some others observing on the site have heart attacks because I ask the questions that are at the heart of the matter and deemed to hot to handle!)
We cannot control the size of the subset. We just get busy doing our own thing, leave them to do theirs with a eye out for radical stuff that we can confront and time and science are on our side. We can hope that their raft floats with good will. Having said that - our case is best won by being truly fine examples of human behaviour ourselves.May 23 2011: Thanks Christophe, and I agree with your list.
Even though there are more things we ought to agree upon than we are able to. I think a good starting point for understanding each other are to get rid of a few false presumptions that we have towards each other.
I have many times to often listened to friends debating right vs. left wing politics with the left side accusing the right of only wanting to make monies, at the same time as the right accuses the left of only wanting "the system" to take care of them without them having to work. At the same time as the left and right wing themself would like to argue that their corresponding motivation actually is that "we should take care of each other" and that "a free market is the quickest way to development that benefits everyone". But discussions never geting that far because each part assumes that the other is arguing from egoism alone.
Similarly I find religious people assuming that non-religious only are interested in fulfilling their own pleasures. While non-religious assumes that religious people are utterly unwilling to accept facts.
Very often preasumptions like these seems to make us unable to get past the very first step in a conversation and is a hurdle to getting to understand what the other persons critique of a certain ideology, religion, etc. actually is. I think most people in the conversations here at TED have been very able to listen to, and consider other persons perspectives. And I therefore thought it would be worthwile to explore what I actually can assume that most people do agree upon wherever in the world I would travel, or whoever I would like to engage in dialouge with.
May 23 2011: Great premise, great question- you have my full cooperation in this task!
Debra Smith
Jun 8 2011: There are a couple of other discussions which are going great distances to establish common ground!
- +2
I am so impressed by the efforts being made by many people to help us all gain compassion and understanding of places and of societies many of us know little about. The Taste of series started out as Wongmo r's idea. It has been taken up by others as well and we now have three sites to enjoy and learn from:
Please check them out!
Jun 10 2011: Thanks Debra, these conversations are indeed very interesting.
Tim Colgan
May 23 2011: Since we're all humans, why not focus on humanism?
- +2
May 23 2011: I think I ask this question very much from the perspective of humanism, but I don't think that either the TED community or people in the world as a whole would embrace all of humanism.
From Wikipedia[1]:
"4. A secular ideology which espouses reason, ethics, and justice, whilst specifically rejecting supernatural and religious dogma as a basis of morality and decision-making."
I don't think we can assume that everyone (most) is willing to accept that.
[1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humanism
May 23 2011: Kristofer/Tim/DEbra..I like the wikipedi definition of humanism....what about it would be objectionable as a basis for a "global morality", "Global ethics", "Global Values", "Universal Values" Wonderfully brief and clear as a standard, no?'
May 23 2011: I really like that definitiion. I think Kristofer is worried that the word will be divisive.May 23 2011: Kristofer, I want to be sure that I am complying with your wishes for this thread.
Can I go ahead and add Christophe's and Lee's points to my own to begin to make a aggregate list that we believe to be common ground? And people can then respond to what they cannot support from the list if they wish?
If this is not the direction you wish- no problem, I have no wish to overstep.
May 23 2011: Yeah sure!
I allways think it is interesting to see in what direction people take any subject and I don't want to restrict the conversation in any way as long as it seems relevant. I posted the proposal because I thought there had to be a lot of other people that was thinking about similar things. One motivation for it was because I many times have been a passive listener in many discussion where I have realized that two people that claim to have completely opposing views very often in reality seems to share very similar values, and rather only disagree in the details or the relative weight that should be given to any particular issue.
Maybe Jonathan Haidt's presentation on moral roots of liberals and conservatives[1] explains what kind of questions I am trying to center the discussion around. Not restricting the discussion liberal vs conservative though.
[1] http://www.ted.com/talks/lang/eng/jonathan_haidt_on_the_moral_mind.htmlMay 23 2011: Dear Tim! You have to tell us YOUR definition of humanism!
PS and your common ground ideas too!
Tim Colgan
May 24 2011: OK. How about this for common ground? We start with the wikipedia definition that Kristofer pointed out:
- +1
"4. A secular ideology which espouses reason, ethics, and justice, whilst specifically rejecting supernatural and religious dogma as a basis of morality and decision-making."
And drop a few words:
"A[n] ideology which espouses reason, ethics, and justice, as a basis of morality and decision-making."
May 24 2011: I think you just made it aceptable to a couple of more people. In the billions! =D
Helen Hupe
May 23 2011: I think that "The Charter for Compassion" is our common ground. If we can all commit to living it's premise "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you" I signed it and am trying........how about you ?
- +2
May 23 2011: Count me in, Helen.May 23 2011: Yes I hope so, and if so I am very hopeful for the future. Can we expand and find even more things we have in common?
Helen Hupe
May 24 2011: Kristofer..................The more we truly understand each other, say for instance, why we do things, the easier it is to forgive perceived slights. We can be instruments of peace for each other.
- +1
May 27 2011: Yes, the more willing we are to listen to, and try to understand each other, the easier it is to see that those with different opinions than us not are plain stupid or evil. But rather has had different experiences than us, and are attacking the problem from a different angle.
Debra Smith
May 23 2011: Here is my attempt at this challenging question:
- +2
Because we are all human-
Everybody gets hungry.
Everybody needs water.
Everybody needs to be loved.
Everybody needs to be warm enough.
Everybody needs to feel and be safe.
Everybody loves to laugh.
There is a lot of beauty in this world.
Something needs to be done to change the outcomes we are now headed for.
Everybody needs freedom and slavery is just plain wrong.
I am starting at the most common denominator and I hope we can add more common ground.
Edit and addition from Christophe Cop (above)
we prefer
piece over war
abundance over shortage
pleasure over pain
love over hatred
health over disease
succes over failure
edit and addition from Lee Wilkinson (above):
That a good and appropriate education is needed and is a good place to start.
2. Love will conquer many problems
3. Empathy towards ones friends and foes is a good starting point in solving problems
4. War is a terrible but sometimes necessary evil
5. That creativity and not more of the same will take us forward out of this mess
6. A good TED Talk can inspire us to be better than we thought we were
7. Inspiration looks like many things to many different people
8. That we can agree to disagree
May 23 2011: are you saying thi sis the common ground manifest on our ted community so far? That tis is what we have to work with so far as commong groundmainfest here? If so, that is excatly what I see too. That our common ground rght now here at Ted is not yet alned with the valuespromoted by Ted but that through our willingness to enage here united on the most elemental ground of being guman..we may be able to get somewhere else together...or as yu out it so beuatifully
"add more common ground"
May 23 2011: Maybe what I am saying is that we should be working from two directions to capture this concept. I will start from the very bottom and try to build up step by step with what we can all agree with while others (and I love this) work from a higher order of thinking and gather what they feel is established based on their experience of this community. I guess my goal would be to get both a foundation and a framework so that it can withstand the debates that will come.May 23 2011: reminds me a george carlin standup
May 23 2011: Haha, very funny! =)May 23 2011: Love that! Krisztian I posted this with Richie when he asked for any links that educate us!
Great minds.........(but i like to remember that it ends with ..........but fools seldom differ!)May 24 2011: hilariousMay 23 2011: Thank you Debra! I can agree on all your points, and I share your hope that we can add to it.

Jun 16 2011: "Finding common ground: What do we all agree upon?"
- +1
the only common ground of all humans is:
WISDOMJun 10 2011: I think what all of TED really will put their two cents into, is any topic on interpersonal and intrapersonal happiness.
What it entails to be happy, what is involved, what can make you more happy, or anything happiness related, seem to be where a lot of traffic goes.
I find there are many wise people on TED, even in the youth of TED, our future. Wise people usually seem to pull out the humanistic values in any topic they participate into. I would say wisdom and happiness go hand in hand, but so can the opposite. However the wise appreciate and do not take their happiness for granted.
This is just an observation I had.
This conversation has a lot of ideas around what makes us happy to discuss and to think about, but no one directly states happy-filled conversations, interesting.
Jun 10 2011: That bothred me at first on joining Ted..seemed like an aversion to tackling serious issues but now I see most of them as having a purpose. The discussions on ego, fear, freedom, radical empathy have been especially fruitful and looking at the hwole hive it seems that through those conversations we are better able to communicate and tackle the more serious subjects we take on more fruitfully. Even some that don't seem that compelling at the time..like the on eon advertising, end up covering some very good ground,
It's fascinating thing Ted Conversations has going here. And I see changes. I saw a woman whose birther comments used to be peppered everywhere all of a sudden quoting rumi. It's magical. Defies Analysis but its magical.

May 23 2011: food for thoght and think a very accurate description of our communityMay 27 2011: Yes, I see sharing and listening as very important at the moment. The world is shrinking so quickly that if you don't are willing to listen to others, you seem destined to run into some quite nasty controversies with others who disagree with your opinion.

May 23 2011: I like the metaphor of rough diamonds tumbling together. That is what it is like many times but I really like seeing the sparkle come through!May 23 2011: I think you captured much of my feeling of what TED is about there! =)May 23 2011: I alined with your challenge in a very similar, I think to many other commenters to date. I read it as asking have we as a community noticed among ourselves, through this community, a unity in diversity..a common ground on which we all stand.And to my version of your question I would say "no" I don't see that common ground. I don't see it emerging even. What I see is the beginning of a process through which, in our dversity, in our daily give and take with each other, with our differences, we will eventually discover that we have been on common ground all along or we will work our way to that. But right now I don't see any sense of common ground manifest in the Ted Community.I just had a stunning personal encounter through this community that I think illustrates how it might work that this process we enage in here at Ted might eventually help us see our common ground. I read this on global energy by a member of this community, Adriaan Kamp.( http://energyforoneworld.blogspot.com/2011/05/3rd-may-oslo-balanced-world-large-and.html?showComment=1306078170725#c1064006190950532120t ). This powerful writing is froma place I wasn't and if I was getting there it was the slow way. This writing..that I came to through this community, made me realize that even though I thought I was thinking and talking about global energy in a global way I was really, with no awareness, framing my views from a nation-centric place, So that encounter moved me a little further along in being able to get out of my own little forest..a little closer to being out in the clearing where Ie can actually see that my little forest was actually growing out of that common ground all along.When I speak about the Ted process here with freinds who aren't yet among us ( I am calling them in) I speak aout it as a bold expereimnet in finding unity in diversity..a process through which that may actually be possible but we aren't there yet.

May 23 2011: Hi Lindsay.
I am a resiliant optimist. I see that we all keep coming back and working to address questions. In my mind I am showing you all my marbles and pieces and toys and facts and I am hoping to see all of yours so we can see what we can build together.
In just being willing to come to the table and to share ideas, I think we take a valuable step on common ground and as we build that common ground it could become the sacred ground on which a better humanity is formed. As with the construction of any building or bridge there are many phases. The earliest ones all have to do with the exchange of visions and of ideas. From there we get to blueprints but even at that early date we might have people making the steel that will become the girders (our contributors with scientific knowledge) or people with ideas for the style and function (our artists, architects, designers and engineers).
I could go on with the analogy but I hope my point becomes clear that huge humanly conceived projects cannot be judged in the early stages where order begins to be formed from the chaos of many sincere and invested minds coming together.
May 23 2011: Just want to pull this beautiful thught of yours out to stand on its own
"In just being willing to come to the table and to share ideas, I think we take a valuable step on common ground and as we build that common ground it could become the sacred ground on which a better humanity is formed" ( debra Smith
It says very simply and very eloquently what I was trying to say with all my words to which you have replied.May 23 2011: Thank you Lindsay. Even though I after having read the first couple of comments realized that my question might have been interpreted as "What do we as TED community have in common", I was actually more interested in trying to find out what human values that trancends religions, cultures, nation boarders, political factions, etc. And I found the TED community to be a fairly hopeful place to explore this question in.
I do think that in the spirit of your comment "[...] we will eventually discover that we have been on common ground all along [...]", we as humans very often have much more in common than we at first believe. And that a big problem in discussions with each other is that we interpret what the other persons means according to what we believe that he/she is saying. And that we make a lot of extra assumptions about the other persons intentions.

Check list
- Stable
- Battery efficient
- Updated regularly
The issues I have with Infusion is the call quality. I am also finding the battery is not great (Maybe this is the best I can get?). I also have a big problem with Google Music. It tells me that I have no space but I have loads of space left. It only started when I upgraded to B06. I have a big SD card on it and nothing taking up space in the internals... its really annoying.
So if anyone can help great. I wish I could test all the ROMS but I just hate having to download all my apps again. Maybe some of you have some ideas what will fit me and anyone else in my situation.

Navigating the GreySave Website from a Touch-Screen Device
You can use a mobile device such as an iPhone, iPad, or Android phone or tablet to access all parts of the GreySave website. Everything works the same way it does on a desktop or laptop computer except for the drop-down menus.
To get the drop-down menus to work from a touch-screen device, you need to press twice (not "double-click," see below) on a link instead of the normal single press. Let's say you want to see the dogs available for adoption from your mobile device. You:
1. Touch the "adopt" label to make the drop-down menu pop up.
2. Touch the name of the page you want to view, in this case "adoptable greyhounds." The box of your selection will change from black to white and the lettering will change from white to black. Note that pressing twice does not mean "double-tap." You need to tap once and wait for the box to be highlighted before tapping again (step 3).
3. Now press your selection again to go to that page. Note that sometimes you have to press a couple of times for your tap to register.
We are working on a fix to make the drop-down menus work normally on a touch-screen device. In the meantime the procedure above works reliably. We're sorry for the inconvenience.

Per my previous review my only gripe is that the metal folding hinges are very stiff thus you can't open and close the ladder in one simple movement. You have to keep alternating from side to side until the hinge is fully extended/contracted. Have tried light oil but hasn't solved the problem.

Too early to tell how durable this product is however initial impression is that this will last well. It is very light and feels sturdy in use. The only minor quibble is that the hinges are very stiff so need some light oil to make opening/closing easier.
