- 'Instability of sloshing motion in a vessel undergoing pivoted oscillations'.
Journal of Fluids and Structures, 52, pp. 166-180.
Suspending a rectangular vessel partially filled with an inviscid fluid from a single rigid pivoting rod produces an interesting physical model for investigating the dynamic coupling between the fluid and vessel motion. The fluid motion is governed by the Euler equations relative to the moving frame of the vessel, and the vessel motion is given by a modified forced pendulum equation. The fully nonlinear, two-dimensional, equations of motion are derived and linearised for small-amplitude vessel and free-surface motions, and the natural frequencies of the system analysed. It is found that the linear problem exhibits an unstable solution if the rod length is shorter than a critical length which depends on the length of the vessel, the fluid height and the ratio of the fluid and vessel masses. In addition, we identify the existence of 1:1 resonances in the system where the symmetric sloshing modes oscillate with the same frequency as the coupled fluid/vessel motion. The implications of instability and resonance on the nonlinear problem are also briefly discussed.
- 'Temporal evolution of vorticity staircases in randomly strained two-dimensional vortices'.
Physics of Fluids, 26 (11)doi: 10.1063/1.4901983
The evolution of a Gaussian vortex subject to a weak-external-random n-fold multipolar strain field is examined using fully nonlinear simulations. The simulations show that at large Reynolds numbers, fine scale steps form at the periphery of the vortex, before merging, generally leaving one large step, which acts as a barrier between the vorticity within the coherent core and the surrounding, well mixed, "surf zone." It is shown for n = 2 that the width and the number of fine scale steps which initially form at the periphery of the vortex is dependent on the strain parameters, but that the range of radial values for which steps initially occur is only dependent on n and the amplitude of the strain field. A criteria is developed which can predict this range of radial values using the linear stability results of Le Dizès ["Non-axisymmetric vortices in two-dimensional flows," J. Fluid Mech. 406, 175 (2000)]. This criteria is based upon the perturbation vorticity needing to be larger than some fraction of the vorticity gradient to flatten the vortex profile. For n = 3 and 4, the radial step range is again predicted, and it is observed that for these higher wavenumbers the long lasting steps are narrower than the n = 2 case. For n = 4 the steps which form are so narrow that they do not persist very long before they are destroyed by the strain field and viscosity.
- 'Dynamic coupling in Cooker's sloshing experiment with baffles.'.
Phys Fluids, 25 Article number 112102 doi: 10.1063/1.4827203Full text is available at: http://epubs.surrey.ac.uk/804228/
This paper investigates the dynamic coupling between fluid sloshing and the motion of the vessel containing the fluid, for the case when the vessel is partitioned using non-porous baffles. The vessel is modelled using Cooker's sloshing configuration [M. J. Cooker, "Water waves in a suspended container," Wave Motion20, 385–395 (1994)]. Cooker's configuration is extended to include n − 1 non-porous baffles which divide the vessel into n separate fluid compartments each with a characteristic length scale. The problem is analysed for arbitrary fill depth in each compartment, and it is found that a multitude of resonance situations can occur in the system, from 1 : 1 resonances to (n + 1)−fold 1 : 1: ⋯ : 1 resonances, as well as ℓ: m: ⋯ : n for natural numbers ℓ, m, n, depending upon the system parameter values. The conventional wisdom is that the principle role of baffles is to damp the fluid motion. Our results show that in fact without special consideration, the baffles can lead to enhancement of the fluid motion through resonance.
- 'Nonlinear energy transfer between fluid sloshing and vessel motion'.
Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 719, pp. 606-636.doi: 10.1017/jfm.2013.29Full text is available at: http://epubs.surrey.ac.uk/745731/
This paper examines the dynamic coupling between a sloshing fluid and the motion of the vessel containing the fluid. A mechanism is identified which leads to an energy exchange between the vessel dynamics and fluid motion. It is based on a 1:1 resonance in the linearized equations, but nonlinearity is essential for the energy transfer. For definiteness, the theory is developed for Cooker's pendulous sloshing experiment. The vessel has a rectangular cross section, is partially filled with a fluid, and is suspended by two cables. A nonlinear normal form is derived close to an internal 1:1 resonance, with the energy transfer manifested by a heteroclinic connection which connects the purely symmetric sloshing modes to the purely anti-symmetric sloshing modes. Parameter values where this pure energy transfer occurs are identified. In practice, this energy transfer can lead to sloshing-induced destabilization of fluid-carrying vessels.
- 'A breakup model for transient Diesel fuel sprays'.
Fuel, 97, pp. 288-305.Full text is available at: http://epubs.surrey.ac.uk/527105/
In this paper a breakup model for analysing the evolution of transient fuel sprays characterised by a coherent liquid core emerging from the injection nozzle, throughout the injection process, is proposed. The coherent liquid core is modelled as a liquid jet and a breakup model is formulated. The spray breakup is described using a composite model that separately addresses the disintegration of the liquid core into droplets and their further aerodynamic breakup. The jet breakup model uses the results of hydrodynamic stability theory to define the breakup length of the jet, and downstream of this point, the spray breakup process is modelled for droplets only. The composite breakup model is incorporated into the KIVA II Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) code and its results are compared with existing breakup models, including the classic WAVE model and a previously developed composite WAVE model (modified WAVE model) and in-house experimental observations of transient Diesel fuel sprays. The hydrodynamic stability results used in both the jet breakup model and the WAVE droplet breakup model are also investigated. A new velocity profile is considered for these models which consists of a jet with a linear shear layer in the gas phase surrounding the liquid core to model the effect of a viscous gas on the breakup process. This velocity profile changes the driving instability mechanism of the jet from a surface tension driven instability for the currently used plug flow jet with no shear layers, to an instability driven by the thickness of the shear layer. In particular, it is shown that appreciation of the shear layer instability mechanism in the composite model allows larger droplets to be predicted at jet breakup, and gives droplet sizes which are more consistent with the experimental observations. The inclusion of the shear layer into the jet velocity profile is supported by previous experimental studies, and further extends the inviscid flow theory used in the formulation of the classic WAVE breakup model. © 2012 Elsevier Ltd.

- 'Tollmien-Schlichting wave amplitudes on a semi-infinite flat plate and a parabolic body: comparison of a parabolized stability equation method and direct numerical simulations'.
Quarterly Journal of Mechanics & Applied Maths, 65 (2), pp. 183-210.doi: 10.1093/qjmam/hbr027Full text is available at: http://epubs.surrey.ac.uk/7775/
In this paper, the interaction of free-stream acoustic waves with the leading edge of an aerodynamic body is investigated and two different methods for analysing this interaction are considered. Results are compared for a method which incorporates Orr–Sommerfeld calculations using the parabolized stability equation to those of direct numerical simulations. By comparing the streamwise amplitude of the Tollmien–Schlichting wave, it is found that non-modal components of the boundary layer response to an acoustic wave can persist some distance downstream of the lower branch. The effect of nose curvature on the persisting non-modal eigenmodes is also considered, with a larger nose radius allowing the non-modal eigenmodes to persist farther downstream.
- 'Resonance in a model for Cooker's sloshing experiment'.
European Journal of Mechanics B - Fluids, 36 (November-December), pp. 25-38.Full text is available at: http://epubs.surrey.ac.uk/713639/
Cooker's sloshing experiment is a prototype for studying the dynamic coupling between fluid sloshing and vessel motion. It involves a container, partially filled with fluid, suspended by two cables and constrained to remain horizontal while undergoing a pendulum-like motion. In this paper the fully-nonlinear equations are taken as a starting point, including a new derivation of the coupled equation for vessel motion, which is a forced nonlinear pendulum equation. The equations are then linearized and the natural frequencies studied. The coupling leads to a highly nonlinear transcendental characteristic equation for the frequencies. Two derivations of the characteristic equation are given, one based on a cosine expansion and the other based on a class of vertical eigenfunctions. These two characteristic equations are compared with previous results in the literature. Although the two derivations lead to dramatically different forms for the characteristic equation, we prove that they are equivalent. The most important observation is the discovery of an internal $1:1$ resonance in the fully two-dimensional finite depth model, where symmetric fluid modes are coupled to the vessel motion. Numerical evaluation of the resonant and nonresonant modes are presented. The implications of the resonance for the fluid dynamics, and for the nonlinear coupled dynamics near the resonance are also briefly discussed.
- 'Wave packet analysis and break--up length calculations for accelerating planar liquid jets.'.
Fluid Dyn Res, 44 (1) Article number 015503 Full text is available at: http://epubs.surrey.ac.uk/527106/
This paper examines the process of transition to turbulence within an accelerating planar liquid jet. By calculating the propagation and spatial evolution of disturbance wave packets generated at a nozzle where the jet emerges, we are able to estimate break-up lengths and break-up times for different magnitudes of acceleration and different liquid to air density ratios. This study uses a basic jet velocity profile that has shear layers in both air and the liquid either side of the fluid interface. The shear layers are constructed as functions of velocity which behave in line with our CFD simulations of injecting diesel jets. The non-dimensional velocity of the jet along the jet centre-line axis is assumed to take the form V (t) = tanh(at), where the parameter a determines the magnitude of the acceleration. We compare the fully unsteady results obtained by solving the unsteady Rayleigh equation to those of a quasi-steady jet to determine when the unsteady effects are significant and whether the jet can be regarded as quasi-steady in typical operating conditions for diesel engines. For a heavy fluid injecting into a lighter fluid (density ratio ρair/ρjet = q < 1), it is found that unsteady effects are mainly significant at early injection times where the jet velocity profile is changing fastest. When the shear layers in the jet thin with time, the unsteady effects cause the growth rate of the wave packet to be smaller than the corresponding quasi-steady jet, whereas for thickening shear layers the unsteady growth rate is larger than that of the quasi-steady jet. For large accelerations (large a), the unsteady effect remains at later times but its effect on the growth rate of the wave packet decreases as the time after injection increases. As the rate of acceleration is reduced, the range of velocity values for which the jet can be considered as quasi-steady increases until eventually the whole jet can be considered quasi-steady. For a homogeneous jet (q = 1), the range of values of a for which the jet can be considered completely quasi-steady increases to larger values of a. Finally, we investigate approximating the wave packet break-up length calculations with a method that follows the most unstable disturbance wave as the jet accelerates. This approach is similar to that used in CFD simulations as it greatly reduces computational time. We investigate whether or not this is a good approximation for the parameter values typically used in diesel engines.
- 'A study of mixing in coherent vortices using braiding factors'.
Fluid Dynamics Research, 43 (3) Article number 035501 Full text is available at: http://epubs.surrey.ac.uk/2918/
This paper studies the use of braiding fluid particles to quantify the amount of mixing within a fluid flow. We analyze the pros and cons of braid methods by considering the motion of three or more fluid particles in a coherent vortex structure. The relative motions of the particles, as seen in a space–time diagram, produce a braid pattern, which is correlated with mixing and measured by the braiding factor. The flow we consider is a Gaussian vortex within a rotating strain field that generates cat's eyes in the vortex. We also consider a modified version of this strain field that contains a resonance frequency effect that produces multiple sets of cat's eyes at different radii. As the thickness of the cat's eyes increases, they interact with one another and produce complex Lagrangian motion in the flow that increases the braiding of particles, hence implying more mixing within the vortex. It is found that calculating the braiding factor using only three fluid particles gives useful information about the flow, but only if all three particles lie in the same region of the flow, i.e. this gives good local information. We find that we only require one of the three particles to trace a chaotic path to give an exponentially growing braiding factor. i.e. a non-zero 'braiding exponent'. A modified braiding exponent is also introduced which removes the spurious effects caused by the rotation of the fluid. This analysis is extended to a more global approach by using multiple fluid particles that span larger regions of the fluid. Using these global results, we compare the braiding within a viscously spreading Gaussian vortex in the above strain fields, where the flow is determined both kinematically and dynamically. We show that the dynamic feedback of the strain field onto the flow field reduces the overall amount of braiding of the fluid particles.

- 'The influence of periodic islands in the flow on a scalar tracer in the presence of a steady source'.
Physics of Fluids, 21 (6)doi: 10.1063/1.3159615Full text is available at: http://epubs.surrey.ac.uk/2919/
In this paper we examine the influence of periodic islands within a time periodic chaotic flow on the evolution of a scalar tracer. The passive scalar tracer is injected into the flow field by means of a steady source term. We examine the distribution of the tracer once a periodic state is reached, in which the rate of injected scalar balances advection and diffusion with the molecular diffusion kappa. We study the two-dimensional velocity field u(x, y, t) = 2 cos(2)(omega t)(0, sin x) + 2 sin(2)(omega t)(sin y, 0). As omega is reduced from an O(1) value the flow alternates through a sequence of states which are either globally chaotic, or contain islands embedded in a chaotic sea. The evolution of the scalar is examined numerically using a semi-Lagrangian advection scheme. By time-averaging diagnostics measured from the scalar field we find that the time-averaged lengths of the scalar contours in the chaotic region grow like kappa(-1/2) for small kappa, for all values of omega, while the behavior of the time-averaged maximum scalar value, (C-max) over bar, for small kappa depends strongly on omega. In the presence of islands (C-max) over bar similar to kappa(-alpha) for some alpha between 0 and 1 and with kappa small, and we demonstrate that there is a correlation between alpha and the area of the periodic islands, at least for large omega. The limit of small omega is studied by considering a flow field that switches from u=(0, 2 sin x) to u=(2 sin y, 0) at periodic intervals. The small kappa limit for this flow is examined using the method of matched asymptotic expansions. Finally the role of islands in the flow is investigated by considering the time-averaged effective diffusion of the scalar field. This diagnostic can distinguish between regions where the scalar is well mixed and regions where the scalar builds up. c 2009 American Institute of Physics. [DOI: 10.1063/1.3159615]

Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 630, pp. 155-177.Full text is available at: http://epubs.surrey.ac.uk/2916/
This paper examines the evolution of an axisymmetric two-dimensional vortex in a steadily rotating strain field and the dynamical interactions that can enhance vortex spreading through resonant behaviour. Starting with a point vortex localized at the origin, the applied strain field generates a cat's eye topology in the co-rotating stream function, localized around a radius r(ext). Now the vortex is allowed to spread viscously: initially r(ext) lies outside the vortex, but as it spreads, vorticity is advected into the cat's eyes, leading to a local flattening of the mean profile of the vortex and so to enhanced mixing and spreading of the vortex. Together with this is a feedback: the response of the vortex to the external strain depends on the modified profile. The feedback is particularly strong when r(ext) coincides with the radius r(cat) at which the vortex can support cat's eyes of infinitesimal width. There is a particular time at which this occurs, as these radii change with the viscous spread of the vortex: r(ext) moves inwards and r(cat) outwards. This resonance behaviour leads to increased mixing of vorticity, along with a rapid stretching of vorticity contours and a sharp increase in the amplitude of the non-axisymmetric components. The dynamical feedback and enhanced diffusion are studied for viscously spreading vortices by means of numerical simulations of their time evolution, parameterized only by the Reynolds number R and the dimensionless strength A of the external strain field.

Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 593, pp. 255-279.Full text is available at: http://epubs.surrey.ac.uk/2911/
This paper considers the evolution of smooth, two-dimensional vortices subject to a rotating external strain field, which generates regions of recirculating, cat's eye stream line topology within a vortex. When the external strain field is smoothly switched off, the cat's eyes may persist, or they may disappear as the vortex relaxes back to axisymmetry. A numerical study obtains criteria for the persistence of cat's eyes as a function of the strength and time scale of the imposed strain field, for a Gaussian vortex profile.In the limit of a weak external strain field and high Reynolds number, the disturbance decays exponentially, with a rate that is linked to a Landau pole of the linear inviscid problem. For stronger strain fields, but not strong enough to give persistent cat's eyes, the exponential decay of the disturbance varies: as time increases the decay slows down, because of the nonlinear feedback on the mean profile of the vortex. This is confirmed by determining the decay rate given by the Landau pole for these modified profiles. For strain fields strong enough to generate persistent cat's eyes, their location and rotation rate are determined for a range of angular velocities of the external strain field, and are again linked to Landau poles of the mean profiles, modified through nonlinear effects.

QJMAM, 60 (3), pp. 255-274.doi: 10.1093/qjmam/hbm011Full text is available at: http://epubs.surrey.ac.uk/2910/
In this paper, we examine the large Reynolds number (Re) asymptotic structure of the wave number in the Orr–Sommerfeld region for the Blasius boundary layer on a semi-infinite flat plate given by Goldstein (1983, J. Fluid Mech., 127, 59–81). We show that the inclusion of the term which contains the leading-order non-parallel effects, at O(Re− 1/2), leads to a non-uniform expansion. By considering the far downstream form of each term in the asymptotic expansion, we derive a length scale at which the non-uniformity appears, and compare this position with the position seen in plots of the wave number.

Parabolized Stability Equation : a combined

J. Fluid Mech, 562, pp. 355-382.Full text is available at: http://epubs.surrey.ac.uk/2909/
We consider the interaction of free-stream disturbances with the leading edge of a body and its effect on the transition point. We present a method which combines an asymptotic receptivity approach, and a numerical method which marches through the Orr–Sommerfeld region. The asymptotic receptivity analysis produces a three-deck eigensolution which in its far downstream limiting form produces an upstream boundary condition for our numerical parabolized stability equation (PSE). We discuss the advantages of this method compared to existing numerical and asymptotic analysis and present results which justify this method for the case of a semi-infinite flat plate, where asymptotic results exist in the Orr–Sommerfeld region. We also discuss the limitations of the PSE and comment on the validity of the upstream boundary conditions. Good agreement is found between the present results and the numerical results of Haddad & Corke (1998).
Theses and dissertations
- Numerical and Asymptotic approaches to Boundary-Layer Receptivity and Transition.
University of East Anglia
We consider the interaction of a uniformly pulsating free-stream with the leading edge of a body, and consider its effect on transition. The free-stream is assumed to be incompressible, high Reynolds number flow parallel to the chord of the body, with a small, unsteady, perturbation of a single harmonic frequency. We present a method which calculates Tollmien-Schlichting (T-S) wave amplitudes downstream of the leading edge, by a combination of an asymptotic receptivity approach in the leading edge region and a numerical method which marches through the Orr-Sommerfeld region. The asymptotic receptivity analysis produces a three deck eigenmode which, in its far downstream limiting form, produces an upstream initial condition for our numerical Parabolized Stability Equation (PSE). Downstream T-S wave amplitudes are calculated for the flat plate, and good comparisons are found with the Orr-Sommerfeld asymptotics available in this region. The importance of the O(Re−{1/2}) term of the asymptotics is discussed, and, due to the complexity in calculating this term, we show the importance of numerical methods in the Orr-Sommerfeld region to give accurate results. We also discuss the initial transients present for certain parameter ranges, and show that their presence appears to be due to the existence of higher T-S modes in the initial upstream boundary condition. Extensions of the receptivity/PSE method to the parabola and the Rankine body are considered, and a drop in T-S wave amplitudes at lower branch is observed for both bodies, as the nose radius increases. The only exception to this trend occurs for the Rankine body at very large Reynolds numbers, which are not accessible in experiments, where a double maximum of the T-S wave amplitude at lower branch is observed. The extension of the receptivity/PSE method to experimentally realistic bodies is also considered, by using slender body theory to model the inviscid flow around a modified super ellipse to compare with numerical studies.

I think tonights game was a real measuring stick for us, Carvel said. We played a good team on the road and I thought our younger players handled themselves very well. ... Im very happy with our play.
Senior Greg Carey tallied a goal and an assist to pace St. Lawrence (4-2-1, 0-1-1), which blew a two-goal lead it had built in the second period, but when on to skate to its first draw of the season.
Carey also had a prime opportunity in overtime, but his shot went wide of Yale goalie Alex Lyon.
Jesse Root totaled a goal and an assist to pace the Bulldogs (1-1-1, 0-1-1).
After Woody Hudson opened the scoring for the Saints with a goal 5:30 into the game, Carey followed with his goal at 15:52 of the first period as he stole the puck and scored unassisted to provide the Saints with a 2-0 lead.
Yale drew within a goal on Roots tally with 2:02 remaining in the period, but the Saints built a 3-1 advantage as Matt Carey set up defenseman Justin Bakers power-play goal 4:37 into the second period.
Baker beat Lyon with a one-timer, with Greg Carey also assisting on the goal.
I think this was a real good hockey game between two teams who are playing at a good level, Carvel said. I thought our team played really well outside of the second half of the second period when Yale really took it to us. But our team responded in the third and played a real solid period and I thought we out chanced them the rest of the way.
Yale then followed with two goals to cap both the second period and the scoring.
The Bulldogs got one back at 8:03, just five seconds after a successful Saint power play kill as Anthony Day snapped a shot past Weninger.
Rob OGara got Yale even at 3-3 with a power-play goal, with Root assisting, at 19:59 of the period.
Both teams had their chances in the third period and overtime with each team totaling 11 saves over this stretch.
Lyon finished with 29 saves as Yale became the first team to outshoot the Saints thus far this season.
St. Lawrence continues its road trip and will play at Brown, which reached last years ECAC Hockey tournament final, at 7 tonight.

I did more cold weather camping over the last few years and have really enjoyed it, even when I was still packing traditional. In a few months I will finally have a 3 season down bag (4C temp rating, 800g)--my first!--and am looking forward to switching it with my syth 3 season bag (6C temp rating, 1200g). It got me thinking... what if I were to use both bags at the same time for extreme winter camping? Last winter it got down to -20C in my area. Would using both my down and syth bag together work? And how should I use them, down on the inside or outside?Any winter campers try anything like this?
down inside synth so that the synth outer takes the moisture that travels outwardsas to an exact rating, i leave that to the experts ... i generally assume an additional 20F or so from adding a summer bag to another bag ...
The rating will depend on compression and loft also. Check the fit of the two bags and weather or not one compresses the other. I also agree. The down handles the sweat moisture much better than the synthetic.
Maybe this will help you estimate how much warmer it will be - http://www.bigagnes.com/Product/OverbagsBM
Down inside the synthetic.Water vapor will travel from your body outward till it reaches a temperature where it will condense into water. It is best if this point is inside the synthetic bag. If you use a vapor barrier liner, it will matter less, but probably still better to have the down bag on the inside. How well it works depends on how much you're compressing the inner bags loft and on air leaks (winter bags are better sealed, baffles,etc.). I considered this approach but ended up getting an EMS -20F bag on sale; this is a pretty good bag. It's worth checking EMS online regularly for sales on these bags.
Maybe 20 years ago EMS used to sell a lightweight down liner bag/summer bag rated at 45F and a coordinated down three-season bag rated at 20F that were designed to work together as a winter bag. EMS rated the pair for -30F. The summer bag was cut tight and the three-season bag was cut large so that when used together the three-season bag wouldn't compress the inner bag. I used it to -38F. I sold it to an acquaintance seven years ago and he was still using it on a winter trip we did earlier this year. Together the bags weighed around 6lbs.I currently have two MB bags, 15F #1L and 40F #3. I am hoping and expecting to use them together down to -20F at a combined weight of 3.4, though I may need to use my down top and bottom.
Edited by Bufa on 07/14/2011 17:30:09 MDT.
I can tell you 15 + 35 = 0I use my 15* long bag, (I'm 5' 11") with my 15 ounce quilt and can be comfurtable down to 0*It's not just loft, it's also being able to fill in all the voids that a single bag can not. Having the bag in a bag fills in those voids very well.
I plan to layer my summer quilt with my Marmot Helium if I ever decide to go out in (expected) temps less than 10 F. I am hoping that by draping the quilt over my Helium I should be fine to temps around 0, but I haven't got to test this out yet...unfortunately our daily temps are now over 100 F so it may be a little while... This combo should be right at 3 pounds. However, if I ever start going more frequently into temps lower than this I plan to get a WM Kodiak...
I did this but I was surprisingly a little cold. It was with a usgi patrol bag and a lamina 35 bag. I have a feeling this was due to compression. A lot of military sleeping bag systems use the bag in a bag system, but they are made and properly sized for that. You would have to experiment with the bags to see if they compress or not. You could always try unzipping one bag and laying it over you like a quilt.
I don't necessarily agree with putting the synthetic bag on top. Most likely which ever bag is on top will stay dry. In temps as cold as -20C your body temp shouldn't be able to push vabor through 3 fabric layers before it condenses. Also the new down bag is lighter so most likely won't compress the heavier sythetic bag as much allowing you to capitalize on more loft. The most important thing is loft so take the two bags and open them all the way up and layer them together and see which layering gives you the most cm of loft. My guess from when I did it with a 3 season down bag and a summer synthetic bag, is that your down bag will be on top because it is lighter. When you go to test it you want to fully zip up the inside bag and use the outside bag as a quilt overtop.The most important thing however is to test it in your "back yard". I don't really think you can do any amount of math to come up with how cold the 2 bag system can take you. Too many variables, your body, loft, compression, vapor... Just test it on single overnights until you hit either as cold as you want to go or as cold as the double bag will take you. Eat a big meal too!Also you can try a vbl (emergency foil bivy) but they are hit or miss. I really don't like them at all. Don't underestimate the power of the sun it may be -10C out side but in the sun with a little breeze a bag will dry out enough to retain its loft for several days of a trip.

Last winter I tried laying a MB Thermal Sheet (fully unzipped) over a WM Summerlite. Seemed like a good idea in my living room but I'm too restless a sleeper - the MB "quilt" just slipped off the bag. The slippery fabrics didn't provide enough friction to keep the upper layer in place when I moved around.
there has been at least a thread or two here where someone used down over synth and ended up with a moist bagas to water vapor traveling outwards in cold env and condensing .... it happens wherever the dew point is in yr system ... most overbags manuf wll tell you explicitely to use the synth overbag on the outside ... also when dealing with loose snow and condensation in the tent synth on the outside protects the inner down ...compression is a potential issue when layering any down system ... clothes or bags ... size appropriately
So is it a bad idea to layer a down quilt over a down bag?
Edited by Stick on 07/15/2011 11:00:49 MDT.
yr outer down layer may well get a tad moist ... if you can deal with that its up to youbig agnes pimping some of their down bags for overbag use aside ... you dont see that many down overbags these days, or i donti suspect theres a reason for that ...if its that cold you can avoid the issue entirely with a cheap VBL
Good feedback here, I am going to experiment in my backyard before going out next winter. But something else came to mind. I also have a cotton liner that I use at times to up the temp on my syth 3 season, but should I use it with my down bag? Or with the down bag/summer syth bag combo in the winter?If I do use it, where would be best? As my first layer, over the first bag, or over the 2nd bag? Or should I not use it at all?I am leaning towards having the summer syth bag on the inside because it is tighter and I like the idea of having more loft in the down bag.Thanks for all the insights.
I did this over the winter using two bags with a total of 19 oz of 750 fp down. I was more than comfortable to temps as low as 12 degrees (inside a double-walled tent).
I would skip the cotton liner. My big concern is that it would get moist at night from vapor and then freeze during the day. Once frozen you wouldn't be able to thaw and dry it until the trip was over. The general rule of thumb about cotton kills is especially true in winter, where it sucks the heat out of your body and never dries. Your best bet for adding a light weight temperature bump is an emergency bivy vbl which I don't like using but many people do (claimed up to 10 F in temperature gain), vbl clothing which I hope to try next winter, or a silk bag liner on the inside. I think the claim on those is that you get a few degrees of warmth added, but I have never used one so I can't say for sure.

Perry and Romney tied among California Republicans
Sep 5, 2011, 11:38 a.m.
OAKLAND, California (Reuters) - Texas Governor Rick Perry and former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney are tied in the race for the Republican presidential nomination among Californians, a University of Southern California/Los Angeles Times poll showed.
President Barack Obama is ahead of the Republican field for the 2012 election by double-digit percentages in Democrat-heavy California, according to the poll released late on Sunday.
Republican candidates converge on the Los Angeles area on Wednesday for a closely watched debate, in a week when Obama and other candidates are expected to focus on jobs.
Perry, who announced his candidacy shortly before the poll was taken, and Romney each were supported by 22 percent of Republicans.
Perry leads Romney in nationwide opinion polls.
The California survey of 1,508 registered voters was taken August 17-28 and has a 2.5 percentage point margin of error.
Thirty-three percent of Republican voters who identify with the fiscally conservative Tea Party movement prefer Perry, with Romney polling 23 percent and Minnesota Representative Michele Bachmann getting 11 percent.
Obama topped a generic Republican candidate by a 52 percent to 37 percent margin, while he beat Romney 54 to 35 percent and Perry 56 to 32 percent. Especially strong support among Latinos helped Obama.
California Democrats outnumber Republicans among registered voters by 44 percent to 31 percent, with independents comprising 20 percent of those registered to cast a ballot.

High School: Pittsburg High, Pittsburg
My name is Gloria Duarte and this fall is my 8th semester at Los Medanos College. I moved to the USA from Mexico when I was 13 years old, and learning English has been a challenge in my life ever since. I began by taking ESL classes but was moved to regular classes during my first year of school here. Therefore, I've had to face the fact that I need to work twice as hard as the other kids in my classes. My parents did not go to college and I have two older brothers who have not graduated or earned some sort of degree. This is why I have my mind set on being the first in my family to graduate from college and receive a degree.
My major here at LMC is Biological Science; however, I'm also doing prerequisites for the Cardiac Sonography program offered by Kaiser Permanente. Once I finish this two year program, I plan to continue taking biology classes and transfer to either UC Berkeley or UC Davis for a Bachelors degree in Biology. I plan on working as a Sonography Technician and eventually get to medical school to become a Cardiologist.

High School: Pittsburg High, Pittsburg
Hello there! My name is Tessa Garland and I'm nineteen years old. I have lived in Pittsburg all my life and went all through school in the Pittsburg School District. This will be my second year as a member of the Transfer Academy. I plan to receive an associate degree in liberal arts and transfer to a California State University to major in speech-language pathology and audiology.
When I graduated from high school I wasn't quite sure what I wanted to do, but I knew I wanted to attend college and LMC seemed to be the best opportunity for me. The Transfer Academy has helped me understand the process of transferring to receive a degree, which has always been my goal. While taking my general education classes and participating in the many programs and events LMC offers, I learned more about what interests me, which ultimately helped me pick a major.
Los Medanos College has helped me grow into a better person. The programs and staff here are wonderful and always available to help students succeed. Now as a student ambassador for the Welcome and Info centers I'm excited to help too. So take advantage of all the opportunities here – I'm glad I have! So yeah, stop by the Info or Welcome Center and say hello!

Hi, my name is Christian Maldonado and this will be my second year as a mustang! I am a former Pittsburg Pirate, class of 2012. I was also part of the 2012 LMC Summer Bridge Program and of the LMC Puente cohort of 2012-2013. This is my first time working as a student ambassador. My goal is to transfer from LMC with a degree in computer science and eventually get into software development or networking. In my spare time, I like to go on steep hikes, play video games, listen to music, hang out with family and friends; and I also enjoy cooking.

Hello, my name is Maria Martinez. I am 19 years old and a proud Mexican. I came to the United States when I was just four years old and have been here ever since. Spanish being my home and primary language, it was very difficult for me to learn English, but I overcame it by working hard. I graduated from Liberty High School in June 2012 with medals, sashes, and cords because of the leadership skills I obtained.
In summer of 2012, I participated in the Summer Bridge Program at LMC. The following fall, I started my first year at LMC as part of the Puente Program. I am now in my second year of college and a P3 (Puente Program), and am also in the MESA Program. I started off working as a Student Assistant at the Welcome Center and now I am a Student Ambassador for the Information Center and Welcome Center.
I hope to transfer to Saint Mary's College by fall of 2014 to get my bachelors degree in biology and be one step closer to my dream and life goal of practicing medicine as a cardiologist.

High School: Pittsburg
Hello, my name is Geysol Torres (pronounced 'Hazel' but my parents spelled it in Spanish. At least that's their excuse). This is my second year at Los Medanos College and I absolutely love it.
During my senior year I applied to 9 CSUs, 3 UCs and 2 private schools and was accepted into all. Due to financial issues, I had to postpone going to a 4-year university and look into going to a community college, which had previously never crossed my mind. For an AP/Honors "nerd" like myself, not going directly to a university felt like the end of the world. Now I realize it was the best thing to ever happened to me. I found a home at LMC (Literally. I practically live here).
I am currently part of the Transfer Academy and through that program I have gained plenty of background on the transfer process. I am working on the requirements for my major in Liberal Arts and have recently decided to earn a certificate in Child Development here at LMC. I plan to attend either CSU East Bay or St. Mary's after completing my goals here. My dream is to become an elementary school teacher and I am well on my way to making it happen thanks to all the support and resources I have found at LMC.
On a more personal level, I enjoy reading and volunteering at a local elementary school during my free time. I love spending as such time as possible with my family. I'm also very creative, so if I'm not reading or writing, I'm most likely putting together my latest project.
Age: 19

My name is Ivan Urrutia and this will be my second semester working at Los Medanos College. I was born in Walnut Creek am the child of immigrant parents from El Salvador. My intended goal is to receive an associate degree, transfer, and ultimately pursue a career in research. Along with my involvement as a student ambassador, I am a part of the Transfer Academy, am involved with a non-profit organization, and have over five years of soccer coaching experience.
During my free time I enjoy reading and informally debating controversial topics. I also spend time practicing on both the guitar and the piano.

Cobra Fi2000 PowrPro Fuel Tuner For Harley Softail And Dyna
The Fi2000 PowrPro's Continuously Variable Tuning (CVT) has completely and permanently changed the world of motorcycle fuel injection calibration with the introduction of the Fi2000 PowrPro with CVT. With PowrPro you can say good-bye to EFI "mapping mania" and O2 sensor hassles. The PowrPro reads the bike's EFI delivery at up to 80 times per second every time the throttle is opened to optimize the acceleration air/ fuel mixture, under every kind of load and under all existing conditions.
Rather than attempting to calculate fuel demands only from the air-fuel ratio supplied by your O2 sensors and 'correcting' it to some pre-determined ratio, the Pow'rPro uses a revolutionary dyno: Your crankshaft! By monitoring at a very sensitive level the load being placed on your crank, PowrPro is able to accurately deliver fuel precisely when you need it in the amount that is required. As such, the system sends more fuel under high load, high throttle situations, and less in lighter load and throttle positions. CVT tunes as the Powr Pro reads crankshaft rotation at the flywheel and calculates load just as a dyno measures acceleration at the rear wheel.

Java EE 6 platform specification reaches Proposed Final Draft stage
The Proposed Final Draft (PFD) of the Java EE 6 Platform specification and of the two other specs being defined by the JSR-316 expert group, the Java EE 6 Web Profile specification and the Managed Beans specification, is now available from the JCP web site.
The most important change since public review is that we have added JSR-330 (Dependency Injection for Java) and JSR-299 (CDI, Contexts and Dependency Injection for the Java EE Platform) as required components to the platform and the web profile, as I preannounced two months ago.
Attentive readers may have noticed that the Managed Beans specification is a new document; until now, JSR-316 had only produced two specifications. A natural question to ask at this point would be: "wait a minute, didn't we already have managed beans?" The answer is yes. We already had managed beans in JSF. We also had a notion of beans in CDI, one that encompassed plain beans (called "simple beans" in a draft of that specification) and EJB session beans. And of course EJB session beans can now be used outside of a Java EE application server, thanks to the introduction of EJB Lite. The platform expert group then agreed to put things in order and came up with a unified notion of a managed bean that could serve as a foundation for all the kinds of "beans" floating around in the platform, and more generally as a way to unify all the existing component models going forward.
For this plan to work, the definition of a managed bean must be sufficiently general to let different specifications build on it, and at the same time be meaningful enough to be usable in a practical way by developers. At the core, a managed bean is simply a Java class that is treated as a managed component by the container: It can have an optional name, and it can take advantage of a small, predefined number of services in Java EE, mostly related to lifecycle and resource injection (@PostConstruct, @PreDestroy, @Resource, ...). Other specifications can build on this basic definitions and add other services. So for example CDI adds interceptors, dependency injection (@Inject), scopes, etc. We also re-interpreted EJB session beans as being managed beans with added services, such as transactions, security, instance pooling, remoting, etc. Finally, we made it possible for most existing components in the platform to be managed beans, or, as I will explain below, for managed beans to be used as components of any given type.
Let me elaborate on this last point through an example. Given a JAX-RS resource class, you can turn it into a managed bean by adding a @ManagedBean annotation, or an EJB component annotation (@Stateful) or one of many potential CDI annotations (e.g. the @Default qualifier). What's more, one can also take the opposite view, and see the resulting class as coming from a managed bean or an EJB component that has been turned into a JAX-RS resource class by the addition of a JAX-RS @Path annotation. The same thing can be done with a servlet, or a JAX-WS endpoint class, or (mostly) any other component type in Java EE 6.
At a high level, the direction we're going in is one where the services made available by EE containers can be mixed and matched on any single bean, breaking down any rigid barriers, such as the traditional one between the "EJB world" and the "web world". In this respect, the newfound ability to define EJB component directly inside a web application can be seen simply as a way to let developers use managed beans of the EJB flavor inside the web container. Incidentally, I'm not claiming that we broke down every barrier and made available all container services to all beans yet -- some of that work will necessarily happen in a future release, especially in light of the compatibility issues that some of this mixing-and-matching can raise -- but I think that we delivered some genuine improvements to the model, all while operating a conceptual simplification of the platform and setting a strong direction going forward.
There are several other notable features in the PFDs: we introduced the new java:global, java:app, and java:module namespaces to go along the good old java:comp; we added Bean Validation 1.0 as a required component to both the full platform and the Web Profile, and made Validator and ValidatorFactory objects injectable using @Resource; we made it possible to portably declare resources of type DataSource either in code or via a deployment descriptor; we updated the versions of several other components to the latest ones (e.g. EL, JACC).
I'm looking forward to your comments on the draft. Please address them to javaee-spec-feedback<at>sun.com.

Palazzo (last visit: May 2009).
Japanese/Peruvian/Brazilian fusion.
Sushisamba is a YACK (yet another chain kitchen). It offers what it describes as a fusion of Japanese, Peruvian and Brazilian food. It also bears the distinction of receiving Las Vegas restaurant critic John Curtas' most scathing review in recent memory. Thus forewarned and forearmed, I entered the lion's den.
The Menu
It's a wild mix of sushi, robatayaki, seviche, and items that are more difficult to categorize: those that combine influences of Japanese and South American cuisines.
The Atmosphere
I visited on a Saturday in May, during one of Las Vegas' major conventions (NAB). At 6 pm the restaurant was already pretty crowded. The place has a modern feel, with many hard surfaces, a black industrial ceiling, loud music, and a televisions scattered here and there.
I ate at the bar - a large circular affair, seating about 20 people. It had a bright orange top and off-white vinyl stools. The staff was very busy, which resulted in slow service at times. However, everyone was friendly, and nothing bothersome occurred.
The Meal
I started with my gold standard for a partially Brazilian restaurant: a caipirinha. This is a Brazilian drink prepared with cachaça (kind of like rum, but distilled from sugar cane instead of molasses), lime, and sugar. Sushisamba's version was a little light on the lime flavor; there were only two or three small lime pieces in the drink, and they didn't look muddled. Still, it was pretty good, and very strong indeed.
I started the meal with Sawagani:
These thumb nail sized Japanese crabs are flash fried until crunchy. Pop one into your mouth and eat it like a potato chip. One of the crabs was a little too hard, but overall the dish was what I expected: a moderately good novelty.
Next came hamachi kama:
This is yellow tail collar, cooked on a Japanese charcoal grill. I know, it doesn't look like much, and it's a pain to pick out the flesh from the bones and cartilage, but when done right the flesh is juicy and flavorful. This version wasn't as good as some, but was still very tasty.
Finally, squid robatayaki:
A moderately sized portion of tender squid rings had a slight smoky flavor. Salted and served with garlic mayonnaise, it was pretty good.
I really wasn't expecting much. I also knew from past experiences in Miami that the menu is a bit of a mine field. Perhaps that's why I was pleasantly surprised. The food was pretty good, the service was decent, and the prices weren't outrageous by Vegas standards. You could do worse.
The Bill
The meal was $36, plus drinks and tip.

But you want to know about Tethyr. I said I'd make you a deal, so here's what I want you to do. I'm working on a new line of baits, but I haven't tested this one yet.
Just take this paste -- yeah, it smells a little foul -- smear it on yourself, and swim over to that wrecked ship to the southwest. If you survive, let me know how it works!
Remember, the deal is "don't come back until something bites you."
Not bad at all, but you know, I think I'd get a bath in as soon as possible, if I was you.
Now, about your sea monster...

I hear it. I know you can't. I wish you could.
It's that little voice inside of me that tells me I'm doing exactly what I'm meant to do. Funny how something so quiet can speak so loudly. But it does.
I even hear it when I'm sleeping. It comes to me in the quiet of the night, slipping into my dreams, nudging me on. I feel it with every part of my being. It's how I know that I'm doing exactly what I'm meant to do.
When I was a teen, I thought I had life all figured out. But the older I get, the more I realize how little I knew. Decades later, I'm still learning and growing and figuring life out.
There is one thing I have figured out, though, one thing I'm certain of. Each of us has a gift, a talent. You just have to find yours.
When you find that gift, that thing you are most passionate about, don't let it go. Too often it's a whisper, fighting to be heard over the noise and chaos of life. Nurture it and protect it from the naysayers of the world. And believe that it will lead you to do that which you are destined to do.
I am reminded of an adult Sunday school class a few years ago. Each of us had to share what we thought was one of our gifts. When it came to Evelyn, she shrugged her shoulders and said that she didn't have any gifts. That there was nothing about her that was special and certainly nothing extraordinary.
Soon, everyone in the class started to share all of the gifts that they thought Evelyn had. Someone mentioned her contagious smile. Another that she made the best whoopie pies. It went on and on around the room until everyone shared something special about Evelyn. She couldn't see what everyone else saw.
I'd like to think Evelyn's heart was a little lighter when she left class that day. I truly think that believing in yourself is more important than knowledge, training or schooling. As Richard Back says: Sooner or later, those who win are those who think they can.
Part of winning is listening to that voice, knowing deep inside that despite all the obstacles you face, you're on the road you're meant to be on. Life isn't easy. In fact, most of the time it's darn difficult.
But it's the mountains we climb and the obstacles we overcome that make reaching the top that much sweeter.
My sons and I were talking about this recently, discussing how the things we want most are most often the things that are the toughest to get or achieve or do.
But, as Hubs pointed out, you don't get to the top of the mountain right away. You have to climb.
I think the journey up the mountain makes us appreciate reaching the top. We wish it were easier, but deep down inside where we don't dare lie to ourselves, we know that few things worth having are.
I hope that you hear the voice and that whatever mountain you climb it leads you to a life well-lived.

Global Ministry Conference, Day of Prayer focus on the Church
A special focus on church planting and God's global plan for His Church are among the key features of February's Global Ministry Conference and Day of Prayer at BBC.
"Ecclesia (The Church): God's Global Plan" will be held on campus the week of February 6-10. Speakers, workshops, and ice cream sundae chats will be presented throughout the week, offering a range of ways to implement church-building directives given in Scripture.
Church-Building Focus
The conference features speakers with experience working with churches and church plants in unique settings. Speakers include:
Kristi Walker: ABWE missionary with Team Berlin Germany. Kristi works with children and youth groups at CrossWay International Baptist Church in West Berlin.
Robert Rodriguez: Church planting team leader in Astoria, NY. Robert has been working with Project Jerusalem, planting and helping to prosper churches in the New York City area.
Reverend Samson Divakar: Founder and Executive Director of Beacon Baptist Ministries in Karnataka State, India.
Information about missions, church plant opportunities, and mission agencies will be on display throughout the week in the Phelps Student Center.
Day of Prayer
The Day of Prayer will be held Tuesday February 7. Held each semester, this event gives students, faculty, and staff a special time to come together in prayer for needs on campus, at home, and worldwide.
"We want to remind students once again that God's institution called the Church is His method or plan to distribute the gospel and disciple the nations," said John Jackson, Associate Professor and Director of Short-Term Ministries.
"Each student can be engaged in this plan anytime of the year. Whether it's global short-term ministries, career mission ministries, or serving more actively in their local church's mission ministries, each one can be involved in carrying out the Great Commission."
Special Visit Day
On Friday, February 10, students interested in a missions career have a special opportunity to visit during a day designed for them.
Missions Visit Day includes meetings with professors, students in the program, participating in conference activities, and more.
It's a "can't miss" for any missions-oriented student and the best way to see inside BBC's powerful program.

Why undergo dialysis?
One of your kidneys' main functions is to get rid of toxins, primarily from food, and also excess fluid in your body.
Why undergo dialysis?
One of your kidneys' main functions is to get rid of toxins, primarily from food, and also excess fluid in your body.
Chronic kidney disease gets worse over time, and eventually leads to end-stage renal disease, also known as kidney failure. Diabetes and high blood pressure are two of the most common causes of chronic kidney disease.
Your doctor might recommend you begin dialysis treatments once you reach the point where you have only 10 to 15 percent of kidney function left.
With kidney failure, the toxins and excess fluid that your kidneys should be releasing begin to build up in your body. People suffering from kidney failure begin dialysis to help their bodies remove these wastes, salts and fluid.
Diabetes, high blood pressure, kidney inflammation and polycystic kidney disease can all cause kidney failure. Serious health problems, such as a severe injury or heart attack, can also cause acute kidney failure.
What happens during dialysis?
Hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis are the two main types of dialysis.
Hemodialysis is typically performed at dialysis centers or hospitals, but a growing number of clinics are offering home hemodialysis. Smaller devices are making home hemodialysis more practical.
With hemodialysis, patients generally have an access point, usually in their arm, added through minor surgery. While at a dialysis center, you're hooked up to a dialysis machine for about four hours. During this time, your blood is being drawn from your body, cleaned through a filter in the machine and returned to your body.
With home-based peritoneal dialysis, you will have a soft tube known as a catheter placed in your stomach through a minor surgery. There are two main types of peritoneal dialysis — continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis and continuous cycling peritoneal dialysis.
You generally undergo continuous cycling peritoneal dialysis at night. Before going to bed, you'll attach tubing that's attached to your dialysis machine to your catheter. A dialysis solution is pumped through your catheter, filling your stomach. The fluid will stay in your stomach for a few hours, depending on your size and the amount of waste that needs to be removed. Your stomach will act as a natural filter, allowing waste and fluid from your blood to pass through it into the solution.
Continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis doesn't require a machine. Rather, you'll drain dialysis solution into your abdomen through a catheter. After four to six hours, you will drain the waste-filled solution into a bag. Your doctor will recommend the number of times you do this per day.
Does it hurt?
With hemodialysis, you'll likely feel pain when two needles are inserted into your arm through your access point. The process itself should not hurt, but you might feel nauseated.
With peritoneal dialysis, you generally should not feel pain. If you are experiencing pain, you should talk with your doctor because you could be suffering from an infection in your stomach.

R-T Queen Sheet Set- Luxury Solid Percale Egyptian Cotton
Item #1922-QS
Percale stands for the weaving process in which the fabric is woven by. In percale the yarns are woven in one over one, unlike Sateen where it's four over one. The one over one (percale) weave create a much even, stronger, denser & softer fabric, which can stand the test of time and gets better and better feel the more you wash it. It's just like your favorite old shirt, the more it's laundered the softer and durable it gets.
Superior single pick insertion of 300 Thread count Percale make this better than a 600 Thread count with 4 pick insertions as most of the T600 are. Insertions means when weaving the fabric, you have the vertical yarns being inserted or hemmed by the horizontal yarns. If the horizontal hemming yarns are being done with 1 yarn at time , it's called single pick insertion, if it's using 4 yarns, it's called 4 pick insertion. The higher the number of insertions the faster the weave and the less quality fabric gets. Have you ever wondered why your old 200 or 300 thread count feels better than your new 600 Thread count sheets? The reason is simply because new high thread count sheets are being woven with a higher and higher insertion to save money. This is not the same thing as 2-ply sheets. The 2 or 3 ply sheets refer to the yarn being used in weaving and not how it's being woven.
Finally, this superior weave, woven in the best authentic way is done using the best cotton in the world. Egyptian cotton, it's not just cotton grown in Egypt - it is a particular type of long-staple cotton originally grown along the Nile. Egyptian cotton has the longest fibers. That is, when you pull the cotton from the cotton plant and remove the seeds and waxes, Egyptian cotton has longer fibers available for spinning into yarn than other cottons. When intertwining strands of yarn to make a larger product, long-staple cotton has fewer connection points, and therefore a greater percentage of area is the natural softness of the cotton.

KUALA LUMPUR, March 23 — Datuk Seri Shahrizat Abdul Jalil moved to unite Wanita Umno this evening, insisting she is not disappointed by her vice chief's call for her to step down after being linked to the RM250 million National Feedlot Centre (NFC) scandal.
The Wanita Umno chief told reporters she hoped her relationship with Datuk Kamilia Ibrahim would be good as "she is like a big sister to me".
"It's not a big deal. I am not disappointed at all. It came from an elder so I accept it," the women, family and community development minister said.
Although Shahrizat announced on March 11 she would step down as women, family and community development minister when her senatorship ends on April 8, the veteran politician said she would continue to lead the 1.3-million strong wing.
The announcement came after more than four months of being dogged by allegations she and her family had abused a RM250 million federal loan meant for the cattle farming project to finance personal expenses.
Her husband Datuk Seri Mohamad Salleh Ismail, who owns the National Feedlot Corporation (NFCorp) with their three children, pleaded not guilty on March 12 to criminal breach of trust and offences under the Companies Act in relation to RM49 million in public funds.
Kamilia had said earlier this week the public felt something was "morally and politically wrong" with how the National Feedlot Corporation (NFCorp) was run and this was affecting preparations for a general election that must be called by May next year.
"People are poking fun at Wanita and calling us 'cows'. The Wanita grassroots are saying it's difficult to work (for the general election)... As a leader, we have to listen to what the grassroots are saying," she was quoted as saying.
But the Kuala Kangsar Umno chief said today she would cooperate with Shahrizat despite insisting her statement was a reflection of grassroots sentiment.
Both leaders held press conferences after a closed-door session between Umno president Datuk Seri Najib Razak and several thousand from the ruling party's women's wing.
The event turned into a show of strength for the embattled women, family and community development minister as those wielding placards and banners outside the meeting hall were fulsome in their calls for Shahrizat to continue leading the 1.3 million-strong wing and representing it in Cabinet.
Shahrizat also said today Wanita Umno would not be weakened by the NFC controversy as "in my 30 years in Umno I have never seen such a gigantic gathering."
"When I go to the ground, even to opposition areas up to now, I get good reception and the support is as strong as always."

Pet of the Week: Gorgeous German Shepherds
Please join @PennySaverUSA on Twitter tomorrow for our first #petoftheweek Twitter gathering from 10 a.m.-Noon on Thursday, May 10. Please join us and tweet stories and pictures of your pet to the #petoftheweek.
There is a definite German Shepherd feel to PennySaverUSA.com's latest Pet of the Week. The pet we are spotlighting that is up for adoption is a German Shepherd, and the pet we are spotlighting that was already adopted, twice, was thought to be a German Shepherd, but was actually something else! Read their stories below.
Our pet up for adoption is named Kingston, pictured on the right, from the Burbank Animal Shelter.
Kingston is a 5-year-old German Shepherd with a big personality.
He is very strong and we recommend that he be adopted by someone experienced with handling large strong dogs.
Hyper is his middle name and he is very active and should get lots of daily exercise to compliment his nature … he's not meant to be a couch potato!
Kingston should be the only dog in the household, as his name would imply, he's the king. Bring your entire family by to meet this wonderful dog, Kingston ID A044521, and take home a friend for life!
Burbank Animal Shelter
Location: 1150 N. Victory Place, Burbank, CA 91505
Contact: http://www.thevbas.org | 8-1-8-2-3-8-3-3-4-0
Adoption hours: Monday-Saturday 10am-6pm, Sunday 11am-3pm. Closed major holidays.
Adoption Fees: Dogs $104, Cats: $78, Bunnies: $30 (prices include spay or neuter, vaccinations and microchip.)
This week's user-submitted pet adoption story comes to us from PennySaverUSA Twitter follower @OneBoredMommy. Her blog is one of our favorite reads, and we encourage you to check it out. Here is her story about RICO:
For our son's 7th birthday we decided to surprise him with a puppy! After checking the shelters, we fell in love with a little guy labeled to be a "German Shepard" mix.
Since we already had a German Shepard Mix that we loved, we thought this would be the perfect fit for our family!
Sure enough, the minute he came into the house, "RICO", pictured to the right, was an instant hit with the family and even our other dog! Though later, as he aged, we learned that he was actually a pitbull/labrador mix …we loved him so much!
He was great with the kids, quite the landscaper (he chewed all the plants and ate the sprinkler system in our backyard), and even helped me re-decorate (by pulling up an entire room of brand new carpeting in our family room).
RICO was very loved & very patient with my kids (since there were four of them)!
We had to adopt him to a family before we moved from California to Connecticut almost 4 years ago, but he adjusted to his new family environment very quickly!
Funny enough, they received the finished product of all of our hard work…a perfectly well behaved dog…who has yet to chew up anything he shouldn't and sleeps with the kids in their beds!
I am certain they love him just as much as we did…in fact I know that for a fact!
Adopting Rico was a great gift not only for our family, but the family he lives with now too!
