Even Lindbergh Got Lost
In the 1920's, only one man held the key to aerial navigation.

In the year following his historic transatlantic flight to Paris, Charles Lindbergh, flying again in the Spirit of St. Louis, lost his way somewhere between Havana, Cuba, and the southwest coast of Florida. It happened in the middle of the night, and it alarmed Lindbergh enough that years later he recalled the incident in his memoir The Autobiography of Values:
Over the Straits of Florida my magnetic compass rotated without stopping…. I had no notion whether I was flying north, south, east, or west. A few stars directly overhead were dimly visible through haze, but they formed no constellation I could recognize. I started climbing toward the clear sky that had to exist somewhere above me. If I could see Polaris, that northern point of light, I could navigate by it with reasonable accuracy. But haze thickened as my altitude increased….
Nothing on my map of Florida corresponded with the earth's features I had seen…where could I be? I unfolded my hydrographic chart [a topographic map of water with coastlines, reefs, wrecks and other structures]…. I had flown at almost a right angle to my proper heading and it…put me close to three hundred miles off route!
Had this occurred nine months earlier, over the Atlantic, the name "Lindbergh" might today be no more than a forgotten bit of aviation trivia. His nearly tragic Caribbean trip, however, turned out to be a critical moment in time, not only for Lindbergh's understanding of navigation, but also for the advancement of the practice for all aviators. A few months later, the newly famous pilot would meet a young Naval officer, and their collaboration would change the world of flying.
It may be hard to believe Lindbergh didn't learn to navigate until the year after his nonstop New York-to-Paris flight, but in 1927 the practice was still more art than science. Aviators had attempted to cross the Atlantic with various degrees of success since 1919, but they were still using tools and methods designed for seafaring, and those were proving unsuitable for the skies.
When Navy Commander John Rodgers attempted the first flight from California to Hawaii in 1925, the expedition ended disastrously, illustrating just how unreliable the equipment could be. Though they carried sextants, Rodgers' crew lacked confidence in the sightings they made from their PN-9 flying boat. Instead, they relied on radio navigation, finding their bearing by determining the direction of signals transmitted by support ships along the route. But the technology behind these ship-based direction finders was still subpar, and combined with operator error, led the PN-9 to miss a refueling ship. Out of fuel, the airplane was forced to land in the ocean hundreds of miles short of Hawaii. The crew spent a valiant 10 days sailing their flying boat to the Hawaiian island of Kauai, in what was perhaps the greatest feat of seamanship ever accomplished by airmen.
By the end of World War I, some pilots were using bubble sextants, which in flight substituted an artificial horizon for the actual horizon on which mariners depended, as well as radio navigation, but Lindbergh decided that for his Paris flight, the devices were both cumbersome and ineffective. The Spirit's high wing obstructed his view of the sky, making star sightings nearly impossible. Even if he'd had a clear view, it would have been too big of a challenge trying to take sextant measurements with one hand while controlling the unstable Spirit with the other, then scribbling calculations that took a trained mariner 15 minutes, all done by a single pilot forgoing sleep on a 33-hour flight. Radio navigation, the method that sent John Rodgers sailing to Hawaii, was clearly unreliable and the equipment was heavy.
Instead, Lindbergh reasoned that his airplane's payload was better used for extra fuel that could be consumed to correct any significant deviations from the flight plan once he reached land; Western Europe was, after all, a big target. He relied entirely on dead reckoning, calculating his position from point to point by tracking his airspeed. He used a clock and compass just as he had between checkpoints while flying airmail.
In spite of all of the obstacles, Lindbergh still made landfall in Ireland within three miles of his intended site, an extraordinary feat. Did he possess some kind of superhuman sense of direction? His skill in maintaining a heading while exhausted is an indisputable achievement, but the National Aeronautic Association observer for the flight, John Heinmuller, also noted that the pressure distribution over the Atlantic on the two days of the flight was such that the net wind drift was zero—"the first time such unusual weather conditions have been recorded by weather experts."
The magnitude of Lindbergh's accomplishment led many to believe that transoceanic air navigation was simply a matter of determination. At least 15 people died in ocean-crossing attempts through the rest of 1927, leading to calls for federal regulation. While inexperience played a role in many of these accidents, inadequate navigation technology had let nearly everyone down, causing everything from inconvenience to fatalities.
Lindbergh watched in anguish as others attempting his feat disappeared at sea. After finishing his Latin American and Caribbean tour with the Spirit of St. Louis in early 1928, he was eager to find better equipment and procedures for future flights. Though he had dismissed celestial navigation for his trip to Paris, during his return aboard the USS Memphis he was enthralled with the ability of the ship's navigator to fix position with sun and star sextant sightings, and he resolved to pick up the skill, writing, "It was a lot of fun 'shooting the sun'…with the Memphis sextant. I was fortunate enough to hit it with a fair degree of accuracy."
Upon his return, Lindbergh began planning an around-the-world flight, scheduled to kick off a few months later in a Ford Tri-motor provided by Henry Ford and copiloted by his close friend, Thomas Lanphier. That April, he went to observe air operations aboard the USS Langley, where he encountered an enthusiastic Navy Lieutenant Commander, Philip Van Horn Weems, who was conducting navigation experiments for carrier-based aircraft. Weems demonstrated several of his innovations to Lindbergh, including a bubble sextant that he was helping the National Bureau of Standards to improve, and his prototype Second-Setting Watch: the first true aviator "hack" watch that could be set precisely to the second. (Later, the military realized a major benefit of this precision, and began to synchronize multiple watches for field operations, thus making famous the line "Gentleman, synchronize your watches.")

A wonderful article on P.V.H. Weems! There's another contribution that Weems appears to have made to "celestial navigation" and that is the name itself. Until this period, the subject and its practice were known, at least in the American culture of navigation, as "nautical astronomy". Obviously that would not do for a navigation method used both on the sea and in the air. The new name "celestial navigation", both poetic and apt, covered maritime as well as aerial navigators (but note that this name did not catch on so well outside the USA). Weems either coined the name "celestial navigation" himself, or he was personally responsible for spreading it far and wide as a consequence of his fame following his lessons with Lindie.
A note: the article says that 19th century navigators only worried about time to the nearest minute. That is certainly not true. There are thousands of logbooks from 19th century vessels available for study and navigators kept time to the nearest second, even though that was probably over-kill for them. Even in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, when Greenwich time was kept by "lunars" (measuring the Moon's position among the stars) and chronometers were still rare, that absolute time as well as the local time were kept to the nearest second. They had chronometers and watches with second hands. That they couldn't easily reset the second hand, as in the innovation of Weems, meant that a navigator simply had to keep a little "cheat sheet" recording the offset and subtract it as necessary. Like everything in aerial navigation, removing this step saved the navigator time, and when you're travelling at 200 knots, time is everything.
There is a terrific online community, known as "NavList", devoted to the preservation and practice of celestial navigation. The online discussions are open to all and located here: fer3.com/NavList.

Thanks for the comments. You're absolutely correct on the observation that mariners knew how to measure time to the second in celestial observations. I'm sorry the article didn't make that distinction clearer.
On the use of "celestial navigation" over "nautical astronomy", it appears that the debate was well underway in at the beginning of the 20th century and well before Weems took up the cause. Interestingly, the first real use in major newspapers appears to occur in conjunction with Lindbergh's flight in 1927 (but a year before his involvement with Weems).

If you want to read a very good book on that era of explorers and navigators read "The Last Explorer- Hubert Wilkins" by Simon Nasht. This guy was unbelievably talented and was born and raised in the South Australian outback ended up travelling through every continent, and was a pioneer of aviation. He survived crashes and disasters, firing squads and sabotage, living long enough to be honoured by kings, presidents and dictators. He was a front-line photographer in World War I - and was twice decorated.
He took the first ever film of battle, and took the first moving images from an aircraft. He was the first man to fly across the Arctic Ocean, the first to fly in the Antarctic - and the first to fly from America to Europe across the then unknown Arctic (the New York Times called this 'the greatest flight in history').In a pause from his Antarctic expeditions of 1928-30, Wilkins purchased a surplus World War I submarine for one dollar, renamed it NAUTILUS, and attempted to cruise (unsuccessfully) beneath the ice to the North Pole. He settled in the United States and worked in World War II for the American government, but never surrendered his Australian citizenship of which he was intensely proud. In the later years of his life, he did work for the US military and intelligence. Wilkins died of a heart attack at the age of 70, in 1958. His body was cremated and the ashes taken on the nuclear submarine SKATE and scattered at the North Pole by the US Navy.
This book is a damn fine read and it touches on the adventurist lifestyle of a little known explorer who is said to have undertaken the greatest feat of navigation ever attempted.

Excellent Article. My mouth was dry just from reading this story. I think today's GPS generation owe an enormous debt of gratitude to these Aviation & Navigation Pioneers.

What a great article. I used a Weems and Plath elementary plastic sextant along with a Book by Scheurtel(sic) on navagation to take a Landfall 38 from Port Everglades to Bimini marking Russel Beacon on the nose. What a great experience it was when something I studied came to fruition.

Last winter, Alexander Olchowski returned from a month-long trip to the interior of Suriname, the setting and inspiration for his latest novel, "Buskondre."
Since 2000, Olchowski has written six novels, four of which he self-published. He is currently working on the final book of a trilogy that began with "The Farmer" in 2009.
"Buskondre," which is the second book in the trilogy, is available through the author's website, slowbookmovement.com, at independent bookstores and farmers markets around the northeast, and now also at Vaco Press in Paramaribo, the capital of Suriname.
"The Farmer" and "Buskondre" both were published at The Troy Book Makers, a print-on-demand company in Troy, N.Y.
The story focuses on Jack Brown, an upstate New York dairy farmer who is trying to find his way in a changing world. Following a period of family turmoil and encroaching development that threatens his family's way of life, he decides to start a cashew farm in the interior of Suriname.
"I've travelled all over North and South America," Olchowski said, "but I'd never been there, so I just started to research the country and get really fascinated by it - for the book - so then I ended up taking these two month-long journeys.
Suriname lies on the northeastern coast of South America, bordered by French Guiana to the east, Guyana to the west and Brazil to the south. In the seventeenth century it was colonized by the British and then captured by the Dutch. It remained a colony of the Netherlands until gaining independence in 1975.
During the transition to independence, nearly a third of the population emigrated to the Netherlands, anticipating the social and political turmoil that would erupt in the 1980s and '90s as a result of the change in leadership.
"Buskondre" (pronounced boos-con-dray) means "bush country" in Sranan Tongo, a fusion of Dutch, English and traditional African languages that is spoken by most Surinamese. It refers to the interior portion of the country, where only a few villages occupy an area of savanna and Amazon Rainforest about the size of New Jersey.
On his first trip to Suriname in 2011, Olchowski was unable to reach the interior district of Sipaliwini, where "Buskondre" ends and most of the final book will take place. The only main road stops about halfway into the interior, he said, making travel nearly impossible without a guide.
He returned to Suriname in March of 2012, accompanied by Karl Schroder, a friend and photographer from New York City. In Paramaribo, the two friends were able to book a private trip into Sipaliwini, led by the only available guide in the city and two locals from villages in the interior.
One of Olchowski's goals has been to make the book directly available to the people of Suriname. "They have a really great bookstore there, in the capitol, and there was all this back-and-forth this fall with the owner and the buyer and readers and trying to get them to buy the book and stock it, and they finally did a couple weeks ago," Olchowski said. "They placed an order, just for five, but that's a start."
The five copies, which will be arriving in Suriname by boat this winter, will bring the project full-circle.
"The tour company has helped me a lot - the people that guided me out there," Olchowski said. "They connected me to the owner of the bookstore and they did a radio show and mentioned the book and mentioned me. I think the people there will be fascinated to read it and just to have an American [presence] - hardly any Americans even go there or know where it is."
Some of Schroeder's photography from the trip is included in the book, and several of his color prints are currently on display at Tunnel City Café in Williamstown. In August, Wild Oats Market in Williamstown hosted an event celebrating the book and photography.
As with "The Farmer" and Olchowski's other stories, Buskondre is written in a style that Olchowski calls reality fiction, or a process that allows actual experiences to be the starting point for creative writing.
"Maybe half the characters I'll totally invent from scratch, but half will be based on people that I've met travelling Š and then I just turn them into characters - kind of use their real story as a foundation, but not to define a character," he said.
While the characters and setting for "The Farmer" were a reflection of Olchowski's connections to Ioka Valley Farm in Hancock, and of his own experience raising goats in 2007-8, "Buskondre" represents a departure from the familiar rhythms of New England life - both for Olchowski and for his characters.
But the grounding force of land and family - framing the changes brought about by development and technology - is a theme that runs through both books.
"I'd like to go back one more time and maybe do an event or two in the city, and then go back into the interior," Olchowski said. "I decided to make a trilogy, so there's going to be a third - picks up at the end of this one. It takes place almost entirely out here in the savanna. I started that about two months ago."
Olchowski writes all of his manuscripts by hand, a process that usually takes 16 to 18 months, he said. He is about two months into the current project.
Although he has been pursuing a publishing contract, Olchowski is glad to know that people are buying and enjoying his books. The Farmer has sold between 500 and 600 copies and is now in its fifth printing. Buskondre, now in its second printing, has sold about 70 copies since August.

Chantal Diem, a Village resident, played tennis growing up in France. Although she continued to play singles as an adult, it wasn't until she discovered doubles 12 years ago that she became passionate about the game.
How often do you play tennis and what's your favorite court?
I play four or five times a week, and the Public Tennis Center is my favorite place to play. I have been a member since it was organized.
Do you take lessons?
I have taken lessons with Dave Sparks at the Tennis Center and continue with others. But Dave helped my game considerably.
What do you feel is your best tennis move?
I love to play the net and the overhead shots.
What needs improvement?
I would say, definitely, my serve. It is too weak, but I'm working on it.
Who's your favorite doubles partner?
Rosie Herke. We play well together. She' s great with ball placement and strategy. We are taking doubles lessons together.
Who is your most admired tennis player?
Monica Seles. She's a lefty like me. Being a lefty is fun. My opponents on the court don't know where to serve.
Do you have a routine you follow?
Before I play, I always have oatmeal and usually a banana. I also drink a lot of water before and during matches.
What do you like best about tennis?
I love to be outdoors, and I like the pace on the court. I enjoy the game, and at the Tennis Center I have made a lot of friends. We socialize off the court, too.

I do think harmonix and us have been that kind of a spreadsheet line item result. Respect , you bet and they should be respected industry wise. Rolling stone gets a vote upstairs and our game interest might be something they look at.
Chord numbering and breakneck speed made me play better.
Of course it would be Karn Evil 9 by ELP.

This company just released several new PH products but I am about to run a 6 week cycle of their Triton product with the goal being to lose BF%.
Amount Per Serving (4 caps):
3-beta-hydroxyetioallocholan-17-one - 800mg (Stanodrol)
11-Oxotestosterone - 200mg (11-oxo)
2a, 3-epithio-17a-methyl-5a-androstan-17b-ol - 40mg (Epistane)
2 bottles will last 6 weeks and run about $80.
The 11-oxo is under-dosed but I figure I could pick up a 3-pack of 11-x and run 4 additional caps/day giving 500 mg TOTAL 11-oxo/day.
So I am planning on running Triton @ 4 caps + 300 additional mg 11-oxo for 6 weeks.
Once I get all the supps in I will log it.

The site, at 975 N. Hamilton Rd., is a vacant and heavily treed lot.
The city's planning commission already has approved an application to rezone 5.4 acres from
planned commercial center to suburban office, and a subdivision without plat to split the 5.4 acres
from an 11.5-acre parcel.
Planning and Zoning Administrator Bonnie Gard said the development would include five houses
with 10 beds in each for 50 residents.
Otterbein currently operates five senior-living communities, five small-house neighborhoods

Reflections on the senseless death of a Dorchester Irishman Ciarán Ó Conghaile

Dorchester, Boston |
A few things won't stop running through my mind.
First and foremost is the terrible grief that Ciarán's family and friends on Inis Meáin, as well as his family and friends in Boston (his sister lives there too), must be experiencing. News reports reveal that this is the second awful loss for the Ó Conghaile family. Another son, Micheál Dara, was swept into the Atlantic by a freak wave that overwhelmed Inis Meáin pier in 2000 and it was a full year and a half before his remains were discovered. Now, the family has lost a son who left the island for a new life. As a Bostonian, my heart goes out to all of his friends and family. I feel a profound sense of shame that Ciarán fell victim to the violent subculture with its animalistic disrespect for human life that undeniably exists in the city I love so much.
Second is defensiveness about Boston, and Dorchester in particular, where my own Irish emigrant family first settled and where my father was born and raised. Ciarán met with a devastating end early on Monday morning on what had been a glorious day in the neighborhood by all accounts. Gifted with summertime temperatures, the annual Adams Corner Irish Festival attracted more than 10,000 revelers and gave Dorchester residents a chance to show off all that is great about the place they call home. Unfortunately, Ciarán's death will provide certain outsiders with fodder to denigrate the neighborhood and the people who live there. Dorchester's reputation as an unsafe place has spread to Ireland, and it takes a good deal of persuasion to convince some Irish visitors to Massachusetts that Dorchester is just as deserving of a visit as South Boston, despite the widespread curiosity movies and real life events have engendered among Irish people in recent years about "Southie."
Contrary to what has emerged in popular culture in recent years, Dorchester was historically "more Irish" than South Boston, both by percentage and number. Boston's largest neighborhood, Dorchester has seen a steady influx of new immigrants from around the world seeking a better life in the United States in recent decades. Many Dorchester Irish, like my father, have moved a short distance outside the city, but celebrate their Dorchester roots with pride, sport "OFD" (Originally From Dorchester) t-shirts and bumper stickers and attend Mass in their former parish churches. I myself was baptized in St. Gregory's Church in the Lower Mills section and always spend time in Dorchester when I'm at home.
Some Dorchester Irish remained – a lot in the Adams Corner area – and have been joined by more recent Irish emigrants who are attracted by the neighborhood proximity to downtown Boston and its vibrant Irish community and many pubs and restaurants that make home feel not so far away. The neighborhood is represented on the city council by Maureen Feeney, who has strong west of Ireland roots, and in the state legislature by Martin Walsh, whose parents hail from Connemara. What's more, Dorchester has always had very strong links with the Aran Islands. These links make a great conversation starter for Bostonians with ties to the neighborhood on visits to the remote, sparsely populated, Irish-speaking islands off the coast of Galway.
The steady flow of emigration from the islands to Boston, and especially Dorchester, meant that it may have actually been easier for Ciarán to settle there and find work than it would have been in Dublin, where his island background in some quarters would have been an impediment, not a novelty. The story of his twelve years in Boston is just one of thousands of stories of undocumented Irish who live in the shadows of America.
And this, the plight of the undocumented Irish in the United States, is the third thing that continues to run through my mind. Ciarán died on the same weekend that a very successful and engaged group of individuals gathered in Dublin Castle to hear from Bill Clinton, Bono and others about how Ireland, in part by harnessing its Diaspora, can embark on a path to renewed prosperity. The gathering was the second Global Irish Forum. This initiative, shaped as it is by people with a wealth of experience and a demonstrated commitment to Ireland, is eminently worthwhile and will, in time, bear fruit. Yet it is an ocean away from the lives of Ciarán Ó Conghaile and thousands of others like him.
They work in the construction trade, as nannies and babysitters, in Irish pubs, as waitresses and on golf courses. They, like Ciarán, are caught in an impossible situation with no way out. They can't go home – Ciarán hadn't been home since his brother's death in 2000, unable to travel because of post-9/11 security restrictions – for fear that they would be trapped back in an Ireland that has changed beyond all recognition since they left it.
None of this is new. Reading about Ciarán Ó Conghaile's life in Dorchester, however, reminded me of the plight of the undocumented Irish and of the duty that those of us who proudly identify ourselves as Irish-Americans have to them. Current political realities notwithstanding, efforts to improve their situation must continue, especially given that large numbers of young Irish people are now so desperate that they are opting for a life in the shadows in the United States over a life on the dole in Ireland.
In the end, while I didn't know Ciarán Ó Conghaile – if he ate and drank in the Éire Pub or Sonny's in Adams Corner, I might have known him to see – his senseless death will stay with me for some time. I hope that whoever is responsible is apprehended and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. And I will pray for his family and friends in Boston and on Inis Meáin and can only hope that time will heal the gaping wound that Ciarán's death has undoubtedly inflicted upon them.

I am sorry for this to happen to an apparently decent man and no doubt tarnishes the already abuse Dorchester receives and not all justly so. I lived in Dorchester myself in a three story house with Coley Connolly Mother's home when I first came to America, Of course Coley was a Connemara man too. Last time I saw him was at The Matt Talbot closer to town. And I'd walk most everywhere from Dorchester to Cambridge/Sommersville, Brighton, Jamaica Plain and up and down Commonwealth Avenue. Young, foolish and no money but happy. It was safer then.

DAME Ellen MacArthur fired the starting gun to launch the All Hands On Deck regatta, at Seaview today (Friday).
Sea View Yacht Club's fleet of Mermaids has been commandeered for the regatta in aid of blood cancer charity Leukaemia and Lymphoma Research and The Ellen MacArthur Trust, a charity which supports young people recovering from cancer through sailing.
The event has been arranged by a team of Sussex sailors, Clive Wilding, Bob De'Ath and Ronald Dam. Clive said: "Last year, my son lost his close friend, Angus Rowland, to acute myeloid leukaemia.
"Angus was 14 and his leukaemia proved to be untreatable.
"We were devastated and wanted to help his family who has set up the Angus Rowland Forget Me Not Fund at Leukaemia and Lymphoma Research.
"Sailing is our passion and we have arranged this regatta to raise as much money as possible for these two charities that seek to help young people with leukaemia."

Hexham Bonfire Night
Published at 09:41, Wednesday, 07 November 2012
THOUSANDS of eager spectators poured into Hexham on Saturday to watch Hexham Round Table's annual pyrotechnic extravaganza.
The bonfire and fireworks event, which dates back more than 50 years, serves to boost the town's economy as well as generating funds to support local charities and organisations. The Sele was packed with an estimated 12,000-strong crowd, who provided the countdown to the bonfire being lit and the professional 30-minute fireworks' display, which illuminated the night sky above the town.

This week in... 1949
Friday, December 9, 1949...A workman was buried alive while digging a drain in the Prudhoe Urban Council's housing estate at Oaklands.
Workmates rushed to the aid of 50-year-old Richard Barclay, of Stocksfield, when the wall of the trench he was digging collapsed.
They managed to dig his head and shoulders free before finally pulling him from the earth. He was found to be suffering from shock and bruising.

The depiction of city schools as "among the worst in the nation" by the US Education Secretary and Kansas City's mayor made bold headlines but slipped quietly aside as the mayor briefed the City Council today.
Kansas Citians have been wringing their hands about the future of the Kansas City Missouri School District for decades. But at a press conference with Mayor Sly James at City Hall, school board president Airick Leonard West said that's changing.
Mayor Sly James' plan to assume control of the Kansas City, Mo., public school district has raised a lot of eyebrows, and it's no wonder why.
For the second time in slightly more than a hundred years, a current or former president visited the Kansas town of Osawatomie. There were similarities, then and now. Inside Osawatomie High School gymnasium President Barack Obama encouraged his listeners, cajoled Congress and invoked the memory of Theodore Roosevelt. KCUR's Dan Verbeck was there and described hundreds waiting in line on streets and sidewalks.
Kansas City Mayor Sly James and School Board President Airick Leonard West committed to a series of community conversations over the next few months about the governance of the school district. Neither has endorsed the idea of a mayoral takeover of schools, but they say no idea is off the table.
Mayor James says he began convening people to talk about the school district after Missouri education commissioner Chris Nicastro told him that it was difficult to do anything in Kansas City because it's so divided.
By Sylvia Maria Gross
By Dan Verbeck
Kansas City, MO. – Kansas City's Mayor wants to run the Kansas City School District.
A forum of educators, politicians and parents drawn together by Kansas City's Mayor to save the district from a state takeover is wagering the Missouri Board of Education will buy in.
Kansas City, MO – A diverse collection of forces are working alone or in concert to help the soon-to-be- accreditation-stripped Kansas City School District. One high profile group of minority leaders is asking Missouri's Education Commissioner to immediately appoint a panel to take over the District. Mayor Sly James has convened his own forum that includes neighboring schools.
The breaking developments come just days before the state education board meets and the local district is on the agenda.

Kansas City, Mo. – Officials gathered Tuesday to mark the dedication of the $413 million Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts - and its new city-funded parking garage.
Kauffman Center Chairman of the Board Julia Irene Kauffman said the project was personal and close to her heart since its inception, nearly two decades ago. She credits the collaborative approach.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Primaries for Kansas City's next mayor are in just a month. Seven people are vying for the position, including current mayor Mark Funkhouser. All are hoping to lead the city through a challenging time - the city's grappling with a down economy and continuing violence.

Recipe by rolo123
"This is a delicious combination of pasta, 2 cheeses, bacon bits, shallots and whipping cream with bread crumb topping. This dish should be served immediately as it does not reheat well because the fat separates from pasta and other ingredients."
Watch video tips and tricks
1 (16 ounce) box penne pasta
6 slices bacon
1 cup panko bread crumbs
1/4 cup butter, melted
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
3 tablespoons olive oil
6 cloves garlic, finely chopped
3 shallots, finely chopped
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
4 cups heavy cream
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
2 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
The first time I made this was for out of town visitors the end of this past July, there were no left overs. I've made it twice since then. I use a whole pound of Farmer John thick sliced bacon, it's just necessary as we love bacon. I mix half of it into the dish and rest in the topping. Yes Molly is right, the fat/calorie police won't like it but when they come to my door I shoot 'em. The deliciousness squad on the other hand would love it.
This was pretty good. I would definitely not give it the amazing reviews that is seems to be getting, though. If I make it again, I would definitely cut back on the garlic. Maybe my garlic cloves were just really big, but the garlic was overwhelming. I would also add the whole pound of bacon and maybe some chicken as well. I liked the idea of the bread crumbs, though. That tasted good. EDIT: I am editing this review and lowering my star rating because it is HORRIBLE left over! I made it for my boyfriend the other night and we didn't eat it all. I literally threw all the leftovers away because when you reheat them they end up sitting in a huge puddle of grease! Totally inedible and DISGUSTING!! If you don't eat it all in one sitting, forget about it!

This was super delicious! I only made a couple changes which was I used all cheddar cheese, added red pepper flakes and black pepper to the sauce and instead of chopping the bacon I pulsed it in a food processor and mixed it with the panko to make "bacon breadcrumbs." Again, this turned out super delicious and I would definitely make again. Thanks for sharing.
Recipe Group Selection: 10, September '11 Oh my..........this dish is delicious. The calorie/fat police are not going to like this one - but my husband and I LOVED it. I had to add 3 ounces of another shaped pasta because my penne was only a 13 oz. box. Other than that change I made as written. It was the first time I've used a shallot and panko bread crumbs. The texture is nice and creamy and loaded with flavor. Thanks rolo123 for sharing this one.
This recipe is fantastic. I took a previous rater's advice and increased the bacon to one pound and added more cheese and also some garlic powder. Also, I added, stirred in lightly 1/2 cup of white wine just before baking.
This is freaking awesome!! A little time comsuming but totally worth it!! Panko bread crumbs are just the right topping!
This was fabulous, calories and all
this rocked

Searching and reading about funding, I see a lot of people referring to different rounds of funding (related to a given stage the startup is at). Still, I can only find limited information on the common investment/equity tradeoffs negotiated at each stage.
Since it's crucial to understand this to do proper research, I want to verify my understanding:
- Early stage funding / FFF (friends, fools & family): to help bootstrap the company and put a minimal product out there. The goal is to prove there is a market and it's a valid value proposition. 10 to 15% equity tradeoff, mostly 50k-100k investment
- Seed funding: to expand marketing and product development efforts. 20 to 40% equity tradeoff, usually under 500k investment.
- Series A: huge impact on sales efforts, main goal is to start the revenue streams. 50 - 70% equity tradeoff, < 2M investment;
- Series B and C: to prepare for IPO or other exit strategies. Don't know usual equity tradeoff nor common investment range.
Am I totally off?
Insightful answers and pointing me to relevant info are very welcomed.

Hooked - (Stacia Naquin)
Updated: 10/11/2013 - I'm SO CLOSE to being able to do a pull-up. So my trainer introduced something new into my training.
A civil unions law for same-sex couples took another step in the Colorado Senate as lawmakers took an initial vote in favor of the legislation.
Democratic Sen. Pat Steadman sounded emotional at times when he pitched the bill he's sponsoring to his colleagues. Steadman's longtime partner died of cancer last year.
Senate Democrats gave initial approval to the bill Friday, with one Republican joining them. One more vote will send the bill to the House, possibly as soon as next week.
Republicans defeated the measure in the House the last two years. But Democrats now control both chambers and vow speedy approval, seven years after voters banned gay marriage.
Democrats say civil unions are about equal rights. Republicans argue the bill infringes on religious beliefs.

IssuedWifeUniqueLife:I have been using an OPK, however, I purchased the cheap ones on Amazon. (100 strips for $10 or something like that) and I haven't seen a positive on them for 3 months now? If you have used an OPK, which brand would you recommend? Thanks in advance.
I also got those and never had a clear + test, just almost positives. Using a "real" opk kit next cycle.

Sea Ways
Sea Ways is my submission to 'The Art of Superstition', an exhibition I have curated representing the work from 40 members of Illustrators Ireland. The exhibition will open at The Copper House Gallery, Dublin in 2013.
My piece examines maritime superstitions and traditions from Irish and Scottish fishing communities.
Conceptually I developed an old world feel in the artwork, using a controlled palette and utilising aging textures including hints of linocut and wood block printing. There are several omens presented in the illustration, from seadogs, redheads and clergymen to spilt blood and forbidden words... all of which add some mystery and intrigue to the image.

Our House Screen Print
'Our House' is a two colour screen print created for Sounds Damn Fine, an exhibition with the theme 'Iconic Song Lyrics '- Typography based or Visual illustrations. I have released a limited edition of 30 signed prints. The artwork was created digitally, colour seperated and hand pulled by print studio Damn Fine Print.
'Our House' is a song written by Graham Nash and is most famously recorded by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young on their 1970 album Déjà Vu. The illustration is a very literal description of the chorus.
The first example is the two colour print with an off-white paper stock which will be editioned.

A History of British Cider.
Agency: White Light Media
Art Director: Eric Campbell
This is a series of illustrations commissioned by White Light Media, for UK magazine Hot Rum Cow, Issue 2.
Hot Rum Cow is a quarterly magazine for people who are fascinated by great beers, wines & spirits - and the extraordinary stories behind them.
I was asked to illustrate the magazine cover and the feature article 'A History of British Cider'.
The brief gave me creative freedom to work in a style I was happy with.
I enjoyed the medieval angle in the story and wanted to reflect that in my illustrations by suggesting old tapestry design. I developed my palette from the existing logo which worked well considering the earthiness of the subject matter.

London traffic
London Traffic.
"Rush hour might be a whole lot more appealing if it looked anything like this London Traffic print from Peter Donnelly Illustration.
The print has a great 60s style, and shows the famous black cabs and red Routemasters, as well as stylish sportscars and classic bikes honking their way across the city, under the shadow of the Big Ben tower. The use of the simple black, grey and red colour scheme really captures a London look. The capital's traffic has surely never looked so stylish."

One of the more unusual projects I illustrated this year was for the award winning agency Y&R Prague in the Czech Republic. They commissioned me to design 13 characters representing 13 operas for a poster campaign advertising the National Theatre in Prague.

A mish-mash of Dublin (Dubhlinn) medieval history ...the Viking invasion (9th century), Christchurch Cathedral (1028), King Brian Boru (941), the round tower in Clondalkin (776), Dublin castle (1228), Strongbow's tomb (16th century) and St Patricks Cathedral tower (1220).

Teach Your Children
Teach Your Children.
My original concept for this illustration was to include Neil Young and illustrate the song 'Almost cut my hair'. I decided instead to focus on the title 'Teach Your Children' with just the three of Crosby, Stills and Nash as I felt it would have a better composition. My intention is to try capture the peacefulness and folk of that particular song. I always feel the song has a great message of hope and unity with it's beautiful melody, lyrics and harmonies. I chose to keep the palette very soft and the three members, eyes closed, almost in thought with the title floating above surrounded by elements of nature.

"Yesterday was the day for Peter Donnelly's 'Homestead' and Jean Tuomey's 'The Mill Wheel'. Both of these pieces have a deceptive simplicity to them: a kind of nostalgia that's soothing, a sense of home at first glance. But there are details in each that catch your eye unexpectedly, like a hen suddenly bobbing out from a bush or a wheel made invisible by white grass." - Poddle 2012 Illustration -

Design Agency CKSK commissioned me to design a bespoke Heineken bottle for the 'Fathers Day' market. I suggested a theme along the lines of 1920s-30s mens, classic sharp style... with a nod to 'The Great Gatsby'. I'd picked up a book of JC Leyendecker's work around the same time and it became a great inspiration for me on the project.

Granny's Dublin Coddle.
Arguably the Marmite of the Irish, Dublin Coddle is a traditional dish, stewed in a pot and consisting of sausages, potatoes, onions, tomatoes, bacon, salt, pepper and occasionally carrots, herbs and Guinness. Historically, it's perhaps more prevalent with the working class and like all cultural dishes, family recipes have been passed down through the Granny.
