Mischievous meerkats go to work with their human "mum"
Posted: November 22, 2013|
MOST people take sandwiches to work with them – but Debbie Johnson brings in a trio of orphaned meerkat pups.
Weighing in at a "meer" 230g each – less than a bag of sugar combined – the cute recruits have proved popular with staff and clients since the receptionist started bringing them in with her to Forest Lodge Vets, in Forest Row, last month.
The babies are being hand-reared by Mrs Johnson, who has played the role of surrogate mother since they were rejected by their own parents the day they were born.
The 54-year-old was contacted by one of her daughters, who manages a farm park, after the litter were rejected.
Related content
"Being first-time parents, they had no idea how to look after the pups and they rejected them," she said. "They were getting cold, so the decision was made to remove them and hand-rear them.
"At home they run around constantly, following our faithful dog Harry, tugging at his feet or lying between his legs for a quick warm-up. Luckily, Forest Lodge was happy for me to take them to work with me, which also worked to my advantage as there are always extra hands willing to help with feeds. Working with wildlife, I am used to sleepless nights. But it has been a hard few weeks fitting in work and other wildlife rescues around these little characters."
With a name like Rockie, you may expect one of the young pups to pack a punch, but staff say he is just as friendly as his brother Sandy and sister Pebbles.
Mrs Johnson, who runs a wildlife accident and emergency service at home in Crowborough, said: "They are little monkeys. They are into everything and they're a real handful. It's hard work looking after them, and I'm up three to five times a night to feed them. They are five weeks old and just coming off a milk feed now, and we're giving them mealworms, chicken and scrambled egg, which they love. They're not bothered by fruit."
Despite having experience hand-rearing other animals such as foxes, badgers and deer, it is the first time Mrs Johnson has brought up meerkats.
She added: "My husband works in finance, but he helps me out at home. Quite often he comes home to find a swan in the bath or something similar."
The pups will eventually be reunited with their parents to make a family group. Until then, they will remain in the loving care of Mrs Johnson and her colleagues at the vets in Station Road.

Greedy Twitpic move serves-up the best reason for switching to yfrog yet.
Smartphone photo uploading service Twitpic has altered its terms and conditions in order to sell-on any of the photos you take to third party news agencies.
The incredibly cheeky move will see uploaders retain the copyright to their pictures, while agreeing to license it to Twitpic so that the company can flog it on to newspapers, websites and magazines. Naturally, we get diddly squat.
Now, every time you upload a photo through the service, you agree to these new T&Cs. So, if you get a once-in-a-lifetime shot of David Beckham strolling through the park with a belly button piercing on show, Twitpic will sell that on through news agency WENN and those guys will make a massive wedge out of your handy work.
Our advice? If you get a good celeb photo, give your local news agency a call before you upload it to Twitter, they'll pay you cold hard cash for your tremendous find and then probably sell it on to the nationals for ten times that amount.
Twitpic, blatantly looking for an excuse to justify this blatant exploitation of the pap skills of its users, says the move has been made to "protect your content from organisations who have in the past taken content without permission.
"As recently as last month," the statement continues, "a Twitpic user uploaded newsworthy images of an incident on a plane, and many commercial entities took the image from Twitpic and used it without the user's permission."
Thanks for nothing, guys. Time to give yfrog a try.

Hey everyone, some of you may remember me. I used to run Jen Fans with Jasmine when we took it over from Biba. I stepped away a year or so ago for various reasons. One because of time and the second was the candids. I am a VERY Anti-Candid person. But more about that next. Jasmine has stepped down from the site and I offered to take the site back on, there will be a few changes and additions and I think addressing everything is better to do it in list form.
1) New Layouts
As you can see we have two new layouts, the main site is made by me and the gallery is made by Laura, in fact its an older layout that used to be on Jasmine and I's old Jen site and I simply edited the header and changed up the coding to a more modern look. I hope you like both.
2) We are now "Stalkerazzi Free"
As I said earlier I am really Anti-Candid. When the paps laws were passed Jasmine stopped posting candids as you may of noticed. She did mention there would no longer be any with her kids but for the rest you may have just assumed she was busy, but Jasmine stopped them because like me she is against them and feels awful knowing that Jen hates the paps and we were still posting them regardless. So Jas simply archived them, kept the old ones but stopped posting. I have now deleted them all, I felt the best way to be supportive of Jen was to not have any trace of them left.
I believe that every celebrity's privacy should be respected. Think of it this way, if someone followed you down the street taking photos, we'd call them a stalker and most likely take them to court, but somehow with celebs its not recognised that way. The excuse "They signed up for this," gets thrown around but sadly its just a lame justification we come up with in order to justify our fixation. Celebrities may have decided to be in the media eye, but as I recall NONE signed a contract that stipulated they should have their every waking private moment violated.
As you all know Jen, Halle Berry, Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard all were involved in some measure or other into bringing the attention to paps photographing their children. Thankfully thanks to Jen and Halle laws have been passed to stop this and Kristen and Dax managed to get many media outlets to no longer post pictures of celebrity children. This is one huge step in the right direction and hopefully next there will be tough laws on paps in general but until that they Jen Fans will be doing its bit and showing respect to Jen and her family by being completely candid-free.
3) Site Completion
For awhile we haven't really had any pages on the site, I will be completing all of these when I have the time.
4) Gallery Maintenance
I will be very slowly changing things around on the gallery, mostly it'll be stuff you won't see but one thing you will is the Photoshoots, some of them should be as Official photoshoots of Alias so they are in the wrong place.
Anyway that's it, I am really excited to be back at the site, I know some of you will be upset about the candids but I urge you to think of it from the point-of-view I explained. Otherwise there are plenty of social media sites that have the photos should you want to view them.
Toronto International Film Festival has announced their initial line up for this year (September 4-14). Jen's upcoming movie, Men, Women and Children will be premiering at the festival.
Men, Women and Children
Jason Reitman, USA World Premiere
Men, Women and Children follows the story of a group of high school teenagers and their parents as they attempt to navigate the many ways the internet has changed their relationships, their communication, their self-image, and their love lives. Starring Jennifer Garner, Adam Sandler and Judy Greer.
Check back at TIFF's official website for the screening dates for the film and for the full lineup announcement next month.
I'll be attending the festival again this year. So, I hope to see this film and maybe try to go to the premiere again! We shall see!

The Weather Window
This week's view of our world at 12.00 noon on a Sunday. The weather has been great up until today when the pressure dropped, the clouds clouded in, and it became cold and miserable. Just like home, perhaps?!!!
This week has been a week at sea, for all onboard RRS Ernest Shackleton. Having departed Signy last Sunday we have been blessed with really good weather and favourable sea and wind conditions and enjoyed an uneventful and comfortable voyage back into the Weddell Sea and down to Halley. There, to arrive this very afternoon.
We are carrying only 9 FID's onboard - including our very own Doctor Lyndsey and Dentist Penny, so the common rooms have been quiet and there has been little action to report. The greatest pastime enjoyed onboard this week has been 'whale-watching' and we have not been disappointed in the number and frequency of such sightings. Tuesday's mill-pond sea was particularly useful for spying the tell-tale breaking of the surface and plume of spray as the whales come up to 'blow'. The 12-4 watch reported sightings of blue whales (Balaenoptera Musculus) in the morning - a not so common experience - and this was confirmed by further sightings throughout the course of the day. Minke whales (Balaenoptera Acuto-rostrata) are the more common types often seen around the Weddell and everyone is becoming quite adept at classifying the sightings according to our 'Whales of the World' illustrated handbook. (by Lyall Watson, Hutchinson Press). Personally, I think the difference between a minke whale sighting and a sei whale sighting is pretty academic really - since all there is to see is a splash of sea, a spout of water, a flash of the dorsal fin and a surge of surf. That sighting is only a brief - yet exciting - occurrence, before it disappears once more under the ocean ! As the Chief Engineer, Derek, says : 'why can't they stand on their tales like Flipper and give us a real look at the damn things ??'.
I suspect that is why the Fids and Crew cannot become blasé about whale spotting, as they do about penguins, seals and albatrosses. They're so elusive that it's all over before you can get tired of the sight of them !
Meanwhile, as seen from the picture of the ship's progress above, our track has taken us over to 20 degrees West, in search of open water for our passage South. Compare this to the wider track that we had to take to go into Halley in December (01 degs West) and the outward track in January (07 degs West). But it has not been all 'plain sailing'. We have encountered the Weddell Sea pack ice all along the way. We skirted it and occasionally had to break through some broken spurs of the stuff, and by the end of the week we found that a finger of this pack was pushing us further and further north. Totally the wrong way to go!
As seen from the above image, our track should have taken us directly Sou'SouthWest at one point, but the ice conditions led us in a totally different direction. Or should I say 'different directionS' !! It wasn't until we finally broke into clear open water on Friday that we were able to push up the speed and resume that nice 'straight line' course for Halley.
Everybody's getting in on the act now. There is an endless stream of inane jokes wending their way up to the bridge as everyone onboard tries to 'outdo' Wavey Davey in quality and quantity of terrible jokes !
Wavey Davey Says :-
'He went to Venice for his holidays'.....but it was flooded !
But Mick, the Pursers, says :-
This man owned a parrot which swore like a sailor. It could swear for five minutes straight without repeating itself. The trouble was the guy who owned him was a quite, conservative type , and this bird's bad language was driving him crazy.
One day, it got to be too much, so the guy grabbed the bird by the throat, shook it really hard, and yelled: "Quit it!" But this just made the bird mad and he swore more than ever. So the owner got really mad and locked the bird in a kitchen cabinet. This really aggravated the parrot and he clawed and scratched, and when the guy finally let him out, the bird cut loose with a stream of vulgarities that would make a veteran sailor blush. At that point, the guy was so mad he threw the parrot into the freezer. For the first few seconds there was a terrible din. The bird kicked and clawed and thrashed. Then it suddenly became quiet. At first the guy just waited, but he started to think the parrot might be hurt. After a couple of minutes of silence, he became worried and opened up the freezer door. The bird calmly climbed onto the man's outstretched arm and said: "Awfully sorry about the trouble I gave you. I'll do my best to improve my vocabulary from now on".
The man was astounded. He couldn't understand the transformation that had come over the parrot.
Then the parrot asked: "By the way, what did the chicken do?"
And even the Captain is at it !! Capt Antonio says :-
Did you hear about the Dyslexic, Agnostic, Insomniac ???
He used to lay awake all night long, wondering if there was a Dog ???
Oh dear. What have we started ... ?
Before leaving Signy this week, we had chance to lower the boats over the side for dropping off passengers and collecting them again after completing some projects of work on the base. Only the light boats were able to get through the proliferation of ice that had fastened itself into Factory Cove.
A lot of interest was raised about our sighting of the 'black ice berg' at the start of the year. I kid you not ! This was the genuine article. And as if to prove our point, we saw another fine example while we had the boats in the water around Borge Bay. Penny the Dentist was on hand to take some pictures for the webpage, and although not as sizable as the last example, the close proximity of the boats to the berg really shows the colour off to it's full advantage.
Above: Another black berg in Borge Bay. Photos by Penny Granger. Click the images to enlarge them.
Whilst we have not had to contend with the level of pack and ice floes that Capt Marshall's team did last year, we have still had our share of ice to crunch through and to give the Deck Officers David, Alan and Douglas something to 'play with' on the journey down - especially since passing the Inaccessible Islands in mid-week.
It prompts me to steal yet another of Mike Gloistein's offerings from yesteryear, but it's good and quite apt for our ice-breaking attempt on Halley this week.
The following were suggestions made by school children in Year 6 in the Falkland Islands on the subject of breaking out of pack ice.....
1. Take all your cooking salt and pour it over the side of the ship.
2. Boil the kettle and pour it on the ice.
3. Wrap the ice up in a warm blanket and wait.
4. Use mirrors to reflect the sun.
5. Get the Captain to use a stretch light saber (as in Star Wars).
6. Have a very big BBQ and melt the ice.
7. Use the left over curry as de-icer
8. Accidently-on-purpose nick the Olympic Flame and drop it in the ice.
9. Get an army of suicidal Lemmings to throw cluster grenades at the ice.
10. Invite a lot of politicians down to create hot air.
11. Steal Mt. Vesuvius
12. Use Captain Kirk's Photon Torpedoes and blast it away.
13. Draw some very bright pictures and colour in brightly and shine on the ice to melt it.
14. All the crew jump up and down on the ice.
15. Take the drunken sailor out of the scupper, stick him in the oven for an hour and throw him in the ice.
16. Yell insults at the penguins and send them into a fiery rage !!
17. Have all your birthdays at one time so that the candles will melt the ice.
18. Pour on chocolate sauce and eat it.
19. Have an extra Guy Fawkes night and day.
20. Pour 10 gallons of strong diesel on the ice and light a fag!
21. Send rude messages to Marvin The Martian and get him to melt the ice with a laser-beam.
22. Throw Jalapeno Peppers on the ice !!!!
Compiled by Mike Gloistein.
It has been many months since I last wrote a 'male of the month' for publication in the webpage. It is nigh time I rectified this omission so this week we are going to introduce you to one of our longest-serving crewmembers,.. GEORGE !
George on a tea break
Click to enlarge
George is instrumental in all of the Man Overboard drills that we hold onboard, and has been seen to actively take part in many an emergency exercise, but why is it always George who gets himself lost ? Gets himself into trouble ? Is always in the wrong place when there's a fire, flood, or other such catastrophe onboard ? Some would say George is the Jona of the crew, and I'm inclined to agree !!!
When George IS managing to stay out of trouble, he leads a perfectly
happy and active life onboard the RRS Ernest Shackleton.
1. We find him working out in the trimroom.
2. Time for a sauna after a healthy work out.
3. And in the mess room. Hey up, George, that's an extra ½ an hour on the bike tomorrow night !!!
Arrival Halley is expected later this Sunday afternoon. This prompted our 'pre-Halley' BBQ on the poop deck, under the helideck, for the Saturday evening. So the helideck lamps were strung up, the BBQ warmed up, the fresh meats and fish prepared for a good char grilling, and an assortment of 'pops' and wine produced to see the evening through. The skeptics thought it would be 'too cold' for eating 'al fresco' but the fires were lit at 1630 hours and were still being stoked and fed by 2200 hours with lots of crew huddled around for warmth and pickings off the grill ! Afterall, if Halley can do it - so can we !
Above: L-R 'Cold' ??? 'Who's cold' ??? Rob Shortman, and Big Al Thomas sporting the Caribbean Shirt show exactly how tropical Antarctica can be !! Neil Wilson and Penny Granger rustle up the odd side of beef on the griddle. At the woodpile. We finally see a picture of Wavey Davey Taylor and he is getting his 'comeuppance' from Mark the Chief Steward. That'll teach him to go around telling stooopid jokes !!! Click the images to enlarge them.
But on the whole, a very 'bracing' and convivial evening was had by all. The T-Bone steaks, ex-Monte all went down very well !
Forthcoming events: Due to arrive at Creek 2, Halley afternoon of Sunday 02, but unlikely to tie up to the ice tonight due to inclement weather and poor visibility precluding the base personnel from traveling down to assist in the tying up operations. Work cargo on Monday and remain alongside Creek 2 until completion of cargo work during the week. Our Science Cruise will then commence and take us into the Weddell to the West.
Contributors this week : Many thanks to Mike G for his compilation on ice breaking, and the sad collection of 'jokers' who all contributed to Davey's Wit Spot this week.
Diary 20 will be written on 09 February 2003 for publication on the website by 10 February 2003.

Modular Homes
Traditional Homes
Building Codes
Homes built in a factory following the Federal Government HUD Codes not the local building codes. The HUD Code requires that all mobile homes be manufactured on a non-removable steel chassis (steel building platform). Mobile homes are subject to local zoning regulations.
Modular homes are treated as traditional homes and must follow the local building codes and regulations. Also it must follow local zoning regulations.
Traditional homes are subject to the local buildings codes and to the local zoning regulations.
Floor Plans/Design
There is very limited customization. Normally you purchase a mobile after it has been built. The number of manufacturers allowing you to design and customize your mobile home is increasing. Mobile homes are almost always single floor homes since they must be built on a non-removable steel chassis.
No construction occurs until the homeowners picks the design. Most builders provide sample plans to help guide you in your customization. Modular homes are normally highly customized in their interior and exterior appearances. In some cases it is even possible to have your personal architect design a home and then forward the plans to you modular building center
Can be customized to the owners preferences. Sometime developers will buy large plots of land, divide it into smaller plots and build identical homes next to each other. You can also hire an architect to design your home according to your preference or purchase home plans online and then hire a contractor to follow those plans..
Maintenance Cost
These homes follow the HUD Codes designed in the 1970s so they are generally not as energy efficient as other homes.
These homes are built in a climate controlled factory using high quality materials and more precise building techniques that are capable inside a factory. Modular homes are intentional designed with additional insulation and other energy savings to reduce your maintenance costs.
Since they are built on-site in all types of weather the quality of the product varies greatly. Research has shown that traditional homes are more likely to require repairs and higher maintenance costs.
Resell Value
Generally mobile homes depreciate in value since it is very hard to improve or expand an existing mobile home.
Modular homes increase in value over time. Once they are completed it is near impossible to tell the difference between traditionally built homes and modular homes. These homes can also be improved or expanded.
Traditional homes will increase in value over time. They can be improved and expanded to accommodate new owners preferences.
Typically there is no waiting time. You can have a mobile home delivered almost the same day since they are normally already built and awaiting for someone to buy them.
This normal timeframe is 8-14 weeks. There are some time savings since construction can begin in the factory at the same time your foundation is being created on your site. Also weather has almost no impact on the schedule.
The normal timeframe is several months. Since all construction occurs on site, work projects can not start until the previous project is completed. The work schedule is dependent on the weather conditions.
They can be in any color but typically all look similar since they are almost always one story buildings. They can be single, double or triple wide.
Appearance can be the same as any traditional site-built home. You can add any style of window, door, wall or architectural feature you prefer. Once completed you can not tell the difference between modular and traditional homes.
The appearance can be customized to the home owners preference. Traditional homes can accommodate any architectural preference.
Building Process
The process gains from assembly-line manufacturing. This saves time and money which results in much lower prices to the consumer. Labor costs are also greatly reduced since the same craftsmen work on each home and master their section of work.
It enjoys the benefits of assembly-line building. In a manufacturing factory. The removes delays cause by the weather and vandalism damages. This more efficient process reduces the cost when compared to traditional homes.
The most costly building process which requires almost the entire house to be custom constructed. It will require more people which will take more time since they do not work on the same type of house everyday. It is also vulnerable to weather delays and vandalism costs. This process is the most likely to result in damaged building products like warped wood from rain exposure.

That's entertainmentDaniel Dercksen
02/15/2013 09:54:03
Daniel Dercksen: Entertain yourself this weekend with the latest films and DVDs!
This weekend the search is on, on the big screen: The hunt for Osama bin Laden unveils dark secrets in Zero Dark Thirty; all hell breaks loose when a detective tracks down his son in Chernobyl in the action-packed A Good Day to Die Hard; and at a retirement home for musicians the new arrival of former singing partner forces a group of singers to explore their glory days in Quartet.
The quest to tell the story of Zero Dark Thirty would eventually lead director Kathryn Bigelow and screenwriter Mark Boal into their own labyrinthine encounter with secretiveness and intense production challenges. But it all started simply and quietly, six years ago. "This thing is pretty handmade," says Boal, "and it's gone through two iterations. It began six years ago as a movie about the failure to capture bin Laden in Tora Bora. I spent a few years on that, researching and writing, and we were in pre-production of that film by 2011, with scouts in Romania. Then, more or less out of the blue, bin Laden was killed, and that film became ancient history. So I had to start again." "This story was always personal to me because I grew up in New York City, in the shadow of The World Trade Center and, after 9/11, I really felt I needed to understand more about bin Laden and the U.S. response to him," notes Boal, Read more: http://www.writingstudio.co.za/page4497.html
It is now 25 years since Die Hard exploded into theatres, launching a new cinematic hero, John McClane, and changing the paradigm of action movies. Willis is back as McClane in A Good Day to Die Hard, and he embraced the opportunity to pay another visit to the beloved character that has a habit of finding himself in the wrong place at the right time. Does trouble find John McClane or does John McClane seek it out? "Well, he's certainly attracted to trouble," says the actor, "but yes, trouble also seems determined to find him." "I find it an interesting exercise to reach for the bar we set with the series, and I enjoy checking in with McClane at different stages in his life," Willis continues. "In this story, he's at a point where men tend to reflect on their past. For McClane, it's the estranged relationship with his son. They haven't spoken in some time, and the first news he's received of him is about his arrest in Moscow." Read more: http://www.writingstudio.co.za/page4500.html
Cape Town-born playwright Ronald Harwood's inspiration for Quartet came from a documentary, Tosca's Kiss, released in 1984. He has now adapted it into a film, with Dustin Hoffman directing. Says 72-year- old Dustin Hoffman: "I read the script on a plane," remembers Hoffman, "and just as I finished it my wife looked over to me, saw me in tears, and asked me why I was I crying. I just said, 'you have to read this.' I never cry; I'm quite a severe critic!" Hoffman responded to the project's broader themes and its optimism about old age. "Someone once said, 'old age ain't no fun'," he remembers. "As your body gets older, you become more vulnerable, but I've always believed that your soul can expand. I'm nearly 75, and I think three things can happen if you're lucky enough to survive this long: you grow, you regress or you stay the same, which I think is the same as regressing. But it is possible to grow." Read more: http://www.writingstudio.co.za/page4502.html
Home Entertainment
For those who would like to snuggle in at home, there's some great new titles on the Home Entertainment front.
From its alluring title to its mutation from popular radio serial in the 70s to television series and now film (and also novel), Leon van Nierop's Wolwedans in die Skemer is melodrama in action.
As impassioned as it is visceral, celebrated Chinese director Zhang Yimou's Flowers of War enters the apocalyptic world of Nanjing in 1937 only to find a vibrant story about the most invisible people in the city, a story of unexpected romance, stolen moments of pleasure and an exquisite act of sacrifice in the name of hope.
If ever you thought that it is impossible to turn your ordinary world and humdrum existence inside out and upside down, Hit and Run is proof that anything can happen when cause and effect collide head-on.
Hope Springs is a delightful and utterly charming battle of the sexes and marriage make over with Meryl Streep and Tommy Lee Jones as a devoted married couple who need to shed their bedroom hang-ups and try to re-ignite the spark that caused them to fall for each other in the first place.
In Wake Up and Die a young woman wakes up in bed with a stranger after a one-night stand, with no memory of how she found herself in this predicament. Her only hope to put an end to this endless loop of terror is to dig deep within her reservoir of memories in order to save her life; and director Victor Sylva toys with your imagination like a kid playing in a sandpit in Rosewood Lane, the kind of horror you can easily settle down to and have some chilling moments in the dark.
The sensational Frankie Go Boom is a totally insane and wacky story of Frankie (Charlie Hunnam), a young man who has been tortured, embarrassed and humiliated on film for his whole life by his horrible brother Bruce (Chris O'Dowd). When Bruce makes and uploads a naughty video of a disastrous one-night-stand of Frank's, it goes viral with a bullet and then things really hit the fan.

In a dramatic reversal of a decades-long practice, the Pentagon announced on Oct. 19 that it will start processing applications of candidates for service who admit to being gay.
The move comes as a result of the recent ruling by U.S. District Court Judge Virginia Phillips, which stated that the "don't ask, don't tell" act — passed by Congress in 1993 — is unConstitutional. She also issued an injunction against its enforcement.
Douglas Smith, spokesman for United States Army Recruiting Command based at Fort Knox, Ky., said that "[we are] going to follow the law, whatever the law is at the time," quoted by The Associated Press.
However, due to the uncertainty over the duration of the injunction, which is being fueled by the expectation that the Federal government will appeal it, legal experts have warned candidates to exercise caution when enlisting.
"During this interim period, servicemembers must not come out and recruits should use caution if choosing to sign up," said executive director of the Servicemembers Legal Defense Network Aubrey Sarvis.
"The bottom line [is] if you come out now, it can be used against you in the future by the Pentagon," he added.
Among the first former servicemembers to try to re-enlist was Lieutenant Dan Choi, an Iraq war veteran, West Point graduate and Arabic speaker, who was discharged under "don't ask, don't tell."

Cannon for Shooting Supplies into Space by John Hunter
John Hunter wants to shoot stuff into space with a 3,600-foot gun. And he's dead serious—he's done the math. Making deliveries to an orbital outpost on a rocket costs $5,000 per pound, but using a space gun would cost just $250 per pound.
Building colossal guns has been Hunter's pet project since 1992, when, while a physicist at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, he first fired a 425-foot gun he built to test-launch hypersonic engines. Its methane-driven piston compressed hydrogen gas, which then expanded up the barrel to shoot a projectile. Mechanical firing can fail, however, so when Hunter's company, Quicklaunch, released its plans last fall, it swapped the piston for a combustor that burns natural gas. Heat the hydrogen in a confined space and it should build up enough pressure to send a half-ton payload into the sky at 13,000 mph.
Hunter wants to operate the gun, the "Quicklauncher," in the ocean near the equator, where the Earth's fast rotation will help slingshot objects into space. A floating cannon—dipping 1,600 feet below sea level and steadied by a ballast system—would let operators swivel it for different orbits. Next month, Hunter will test a functional, 10-foot prototype in a water tank. He says a full-size launcher could be ready in seven years, provided the company can round up the $500 million. Despite the upfront cost, Hunter says he has drawn interest from investors because his reusable gun saves so much cash in the long haul. Just don't ever expect a ride in the thing: The gun produces 5,000 Gs, so it's only for fuel tanks and ruggedized satellites. "A person shot out of it would probably get compressed to half their size," Hunter says. "It'd be over real quick."
How to Shoot Stuff into Space
The gun combusts natural gas in a heat exchanger within a
chamber of hydrogen gas, heating the hydrogen to 2,600˚F and causing a 500 percent increase in pressure.
Operators open the valve, and the hot, pressurized hydrogen quickly expands down the tube, pushing the payload forward.
After speeding down the 3,300-foot-long barrel, the projectile shoots out of the gun at 13,000 mph. An iris at the end of the gun closes, capturing the hydrogen gas to use again.

Zeppelin Construction Photography
Some photos of the construction of zeppelins (above = USS Macon / below = USS Akron / far below = Hindenberg on a visit to NJ) and the ridiculous ladders that it took to get there.
from b3ch:
In the first half of the twentieth century, there were great airships that sailed the skies, quite majestically. They were used both for transportation, and also in war in world war I and II. The German Zeppelin Airship company built the Graf Zeppelin and Hindenburg for transcontinental and transatlantic travel. They were the cruise ships of the sky.
In the early days the Zeppelins were inflated with hydrogen gas for bouancy which worked very well, but was also very dangerous. Later the Americans found a way to effectively produce helium gas, so we had much safer airships. Although hydrogen has better bouyancy, it is highly explosive. In times of war, we would not share our safer helium with the Germans.
The German Zeppelin Airship LZ-126 "Hindenburg" had it's famous flaming crash at the Lakehurst National Airport in New Jersy in the USA.

Sharker Monocoque Motorbike
The basic fundamentals of motorbike design have remained pretty much the same over the last 50 years, but that could change if the Sharker ever lands in a showroom. While most cars switched to monocoque construction back in the '60s or '70s, motorcycles have stuck with a traditional supporting framework, sometimes with an added fairing for aerodynamics, pretty much since they were first invented.
The Sharker breaks this tradition by using its sexy carbon bodywork to support the rider, engine, and wheels, resulting in both lower weight and improved stiffness. Performance is impressive, with 140 horses ready to propel the Sharker to over 60 MPH in four seconds. Top speed can vary between 125 and 174 MPH depending on gearing choices.

from the artist:
Buildings have a life cycle that can last anywhere from a few years, to several decades or longer. Once a building has reached the end of its life cycle, it is taken down. By deconstructing a building, the components can be reused and recycled but also it creates additional waste as demolished concretes. I focused on the possibilities of bringing usage of industrial waste and shifting the value by using it.

An analytical look at the Oakland Raiders heading into the 2011 NFL draft:
Team needs
1. Safety. Starting free safety Michael Huff is a prospective free agent and not likely to be re-signed. The Raiders allowed 29 touchdown passes last season — only four teams yielded more — and the safeties got beat on a majority of those back-breaking plays. Clemson's DeAndre McDaniel is a realistic option in the second round (the Raiders don't have a first-round pick). Boise State's Jeron Johnson is an attractive prospect who likely will be available in the middle rounds if the Raiders opt to wait.
2. Offensive line. Left guard Robert Gallery, right guard Cooper Carlisle and right tackle Langston Walker are either free agents or on the backside of their careers. The Raiders used two of their first four picks last season on offensive linemen, and it's likely they will use at least one choice this year on a top-tier player for that unit. Temple's Darius Morris is on the team's radar.
3. Quarterback. Jason Campbell is entering the final year of his contract. He started slowly in his first season with the Raiders but progressed well as he gained comfort in offensive coordinator Hue Jackson's system and around his teammates. It's past time for the Raiders to draft a solid quarterback prospect and give him time to learn behind a veteran. Delaware's Pat Devlin is a potential choice in the middle rounds, though it's possible the Raiders will draft Nevada's Colin Kaepernick in the second round (48th overall) if he falls that far.
4. Cornerback. Three-time Pro Bowler Nnamdi Asomugha and nickel back Chris Johnson are free agents. It's unlikely the Raiders will pay Asomugha a ton of money after spending so much to re-sign starter Stanford Routt. Second-year corners Walter McFadden and Jeremy Ware are intriguing candidates for increased playing time. However, it's almost certain that Oakland will use at least one draft pick on a corner. North Carolina's Kendric Burney and Texas' Curtis Brown fit the Raider mold at this position.
5. Running back. The Raiders are thrilled with Darren McFadden and Michael Bush as their one-two combo. But Rock Cartwright and Michael Bennett are getting on in years, and the Raiders would like to add a reliable third back in case of injury. So look for them to use a mid- or late-round pick on a running back. Possible options include West Virginia's Noel Devine and Notre Dame's Armando Allen.
6. Defensive tackle. Richard Seymour and Tommy Kelly played at a Pro Bowl level last season, with Seymour being selected to make the trip to Hawaii. However, both are getting toward the end of the line and have a lot of wear and tear on their bodies. Al Davis loves to stockpile defensive tackles. Given that, don't be surprised if the Raiders use an early or middle-round pick on a player such as Auburn's Mike Blanc or North Carolina's Marvin Austin.
Five-year history
The success of the Raiders' 2010 draft class overshadows a spotty performance over the past five years. Of particular note is the 2007 draft class in which the Raiders whiffed on quarterback JaMarcus Russell at No. 1 overall and landed only one player out of 11 picks who is an unquestioned starter (tight end Zach Miller).
The 2008 class yielded four potential starters for 2011 out of five picks (Darren McFadden, Tyvon Branch, Trevor Scott and Chaz Schilens). Miller is the only one of the 38 players selected the past five drafts who has made the Pro Bowl, and he did it last season for the first time. Still, the past five drafts have produced as many as 15 offensive and defensive starters for next season.
Just one question
With a new head coach taking over the team, will there be an emphasis on addressing certain positions in this year's draft?
Coach Hue Jackson: "There's not a position, other than quarterback, that I feel like I want to look at to draft and say, 'We don't need anybody' (for immediate help at that position)."

Four jailed on meth charges
ALUM CREEK, W.Va. -- West Virginia State Police arrested four people late Tuesday in a methamphetamine bust in Lincoln County.
State Police Sgt. J.L. Joyce said a trooper was following up on an unrelated call in Alum Creek when he discovered the meth operation. It happened Tuesday evening along Coal River Road.
Those arrested were Joseph Tyler Marcum, 22, and Richard Taylor Mathis, 27, both of Charleston, along with Felicia Nicole Miller, 24, and Betty Ann Cooper, 28, both of Tornado, W.Va., according to Joyce and jail records.
Addresses for Miller and Cooper matched that of the home where the arrests occurred. All four were at the residence when a trooper made the discovery, Joyce said.
Each of the suspects were charged with felony operating/attempting to operate a clandestine drug laboratory, altering meth precursors and conspiracy, according to Joyce and jail records.
They were jailed without bond pending arraignment.

You're Building Strength but Losing Flexibility
Fix It By Lifting Through a Full Range of Motion
Stretching isn't the best way to improve flexibility—lifting weights through a full range of motion is, according to a recent study at the University of North Dakota. Pausing for 2 to 3 seconds at the "down" position of the lift (where you feel the stretch) without relaxing your muscles is even more effective.
Why it works: During resistance exercise, your muscles first contract, and then stretch to their full range between each repetition, increasing overall flexibility, says study coauthor James Whitehead, Ed.D.

Zermatt's Hörnlihütte: long hibernation
The Hörnlihütte will close its doors on 16 September 2013. Due to conversion work, the mountain hut will stay closed until June 2015. A vista of the anniversary year 2015.
As yet, the weather is still good enough to climb the 'Hore', as the locals like to call the Matterhorn. On 15 September 2013, however, the season will end and the hut will stay closed until the beginning of July 2015. Kurt Lauber, warden of the Hörnlihütte, says: "Yes, we will see significant changes". This summer, together with architect Hans Zurniwen, he supervised the groundwork for the new hut. The Hörnlihütte is the starting point for most Matterhorn (4,478 m) ascents.
Improved infrastructure
Poor water supply and infrastructure problems are among the main reasons for the conversion of the hut. Built in 1911, the Hörnlihütte, otherwise known as Belvedere (3,260 m), has been getting a bit long in the tooth and will now be adapted to the needs of modern mountaineers in a high Alpine region. Once it reopens in summer 2015, the hut will offer accommodation for 90 guests.
Anniversary year 2015
2015 will see the 150th anniversary of the first Matterhorn ascent by Edward Whymper who reached the peak on 14 July 1865. A tragic accident occurred on the descent when four members of the rope team fell to their death. Only three members made it back to the village, among them the two mountain guides from Zermatt and the Englishman Edward Whymper. In Zermatt, numerous celebrations, events and festivities, including an open-air theatre play (end of June to end of August 2015), will revolve around the Matterhorn all through the year 2015.

Thanks for your comment, allentown1.
You're right, I do use the phrase "police said" a lot in my stories. And there's a good reason for that.
I don't want there to be any confusion about who is making the accusation in this report. It's not me, it's not The Express-Times or lehighvalleylive.com, it's police.
I read the article, but still want an itty-bitty, teeny-weeny, half-dollar-size turtle. They're adorable.
I spoke with the GM. He said the gun is a collector's item he had on display in his office.
Me too, quitcomplaining. I left a message for the golf course GM. Hopefully, he'll return my call and our curiosity will be satisfied.
Good suggestion, Matt. I had no idea she attended Parkland! Maybe she can be a 2013 inductee.
I want to hear your side of the story. Give me a call at 484-894-3854.
You're right, Forks Concerns. I changed it.
What a pleasant little space to crawl around in!
Congratulations on the big win, Seth. Go Patriots!
In case you hadn't guessed, folks, I'm a Freedom grad and a former swimmer.
Hi, John. I story published recently with more details about the $6.8M project. Here's a link: http://www.lehighvalleylive.com/lehigh-county/index.ssf/2012/03/whitehall-coplay_elementary_sc.html
The folks at White Castle said the Whitehall restaurant is Pennsylvania's first. Since this isn't a report about the history of White Castle, I didn't second guess the info they gave me. In deference to your superior knowledge about what happened in the 80s, I swapped "first" with "only" in the second sentence. Thanks for commenting.
Ha! I haven't had White Castle in a long time, but I don't remember them being all that bad.
It costs less than 9 bucks a year to license your dog in Pennsylvania. You can buy lifetime licenses for less than $53.
People who don't license their dogs face a fine of up to $300.
Do you all have dogs? Are they licensed?
My understanding is that Emmaus police already consulted with the state dog warden, and Apollo's owner won't be cited.
What do you all think about the point that Liz Jones raised -- that the owner should be cited for failing to get a dog license?
What a couple of cuties! Happy birthday, girls!
Thanks for your comment, jmcgary2.
All of today's reports stem from action the board took at Monday night's meeting. District administrators have been working for months on the new busing contract -- I first wrote about it in December -- and school directors approved it last night.
From what I understand, the board is slated to discuss the district's 2012-13 budget and five-year spending plan at a Wednesday committee meeting. Maybe I'll see you there.
If your only quibble with my report is a headline I didn't write, then you're welcome to it. Enjoy.
Thanks for your comment, johncreasy. It reminded me of a detail that I just added to the story.
"To prevent vandalism, the ads will be placed beneath a clear plastic cover that can't be removed without a screwdriver, officials said."
The fire chief said 'formaldehyde.' I'll check with him and update the post if need be. Thanks for the tip, E46M.

John Sullivan: The IDIEZ Project
Thu, February 7, 2013 • 4:00 AM • BEN 2.104
Indigenous researchers at IDIEZ working on a monolingual Nahuatl dictionary (2011)
"The IDIEZ Project: A Model for Indigenous Language Revitalization in Higher Education"
A talk by John Sullivan, Professor of Nahua Language & Culture at the Universidad Autonoma de Zacatecas (Mexico)
John Sullivan's lecture will focus on indigenous language revitalization in higher education, particularly related to his work as Director of the Zacatecas Institute for Teaching and Research in Ethnology (IDIEZ), a Mexican nonprofit research institute. IDIEZ provides scholarships to indigenous college students who are native speakers of Nahuatl, trains them to work as teaching and research assistants, and involves them with Western scholars in collaborative projects designed to revitalize and develop their language and culture. He will outline a series of principles that guide the institute's activities related to programming for native and non-native speakers of indigenous languages. He will also discuss the creation and support of intercultural and international collaborative relationships. John Sullivan holds a Ph.D. in Latin American Literature from the University of California San Diego and is a former Guggenheim Fellow.
Sponsored by LLILAS, Department of Spanish and Portuguese, Department of Linguistics, Department of Anthropology, and Native American Indigenous Studies (NAIS)

text: @samdss10: I cannot believe you would ignore the advice of several staff members and a senior member (not throwing a title, I'm just saying I've been here for a while), but you think it would be okay to skip part of the guide. I suggest you ignore omegaman7's comment about doing whatever you want because you "don't see the need." The 4.1 downgrade/upgrade is a big part of brick protection. In the past couple months I have seen it save several people from full bricks.

Gregg Wallace's chocolate puddle pudding has a crusted sponge top and oozes with molten Divine chocolate underneath.
Method1. Preheat the oven to 180°C/160°C fan/gas mark 4. Put the chocolate in a small saucepan with the milk and heat gently until the chocolate has melted. Stir in the brandy if using.
2. Beat together the butter and sugar in a bowl until pale and fluffy. Gradually beat in the egg yolks, flour, cocoa powder and chocolate mixture.
3. Whisk the egg whites in a separate, grease-free bowl until they hold their shape. Using a large metal spoon, fold a quarter of the egg whites into the chocolate mixture, then fold in the remaining egg whites.
4. Turn the mixture into a 1.5 litre pie dish or into 5 or 6 ramekins around 8cm x 8cm in size and place in a roasting tin. Pour boiling water to a depth of 2.5cm into the tin. Bake in the oven for about 35 minutes in a pie dish or about 20 minutes in ramekins, until a crust has formed on top.
5. Dust generously with cocoa powder and serve hot with whipped cream.
