My travels for iBerkshires are taking me all over the map, literally. One day it's an early morning volunteer breakfast, the next it's a nighttime extravaganza complete with jazz and fireworks. On these trips (which can get pretty lengthy since I live in the farm country of Sheffield) I make it a point to stop at cafes and diners, some familiar, some not. The point is, I love coffee, and I love watching the different crowds at different coffee shops. It's almost like watching a cartoon or a French film circa 1940s.
Yesterday's journey to Cheshire was broken up by a stop at Dottie's Coffee Lounge on 444 North Street in Pittsfield. I've heard about Dottie's from friends and colleagues and, of course, the infamous cyber social world of Facebook.
Just stepping through the door at Dottie's was impressive. It was packed and people were chatting away at the wooden tables. A family of three lounged couch side in the "upper level" of the café. How can you not feel comfortable, the architecture is amazing? High tin ceilings, whirring black ceiling fans, lots and lots of natural light, wide wooden floors, plush velvet chairs, glinting machinery all dedicated to the art of making coffee.
I was in heaven.
I set down my gear (i.e. camera, pad, pen, cell phone, purse) and wandered up to the counter. Behind the glass were delicious-looking confections (including carrot cake). I placed my order for a curried chicken sandwich and bottled water. I would've gotten a coffee but I was still a little shaky from the way-too-strong French press I made myself that morning. The total came to $8.40. I was a little taken aback but then thought, well, this is going to be one awesome sandwich.
Not so much. When the waitress (barista?) brought me my plate I couldn't help but notice that the sandwich was very small and made with (it appeared) store-bought bread. I also couldn't help but notice that the majority of its insides was salad. Not lettuce but actually salad mix, again, the same kind you can get at the grocery store. Adorning the plate was a floppy pickle, presumably from a jar.
The first bite was exactly the same as the last. The curried chicken salad, the very thing I'd been coveting, was a little dry and not seasoned at all. There were a few raisins here and there and some bits of apple. That's about it. I did have to rip some of the crust off because it was stale and too hard to eat (not because I'm in first grade and hate crust).
But I couldn't get over the ambiance of the place. People were pouring in (it was around lunch time) and smiling and chatting. I sipped at my water, watching the buzz around me. It was comforting.
Clearly, Dottie's needs another visit and clearly I need to order my heart's true love, coffee (maybe a macchiato) and a croissant. It is, after all, a coffee lounge.

After 69 days and nearly 25,000 miles, local Chinese businessman Wei Chen made a triumphant return home July 29 fulfilling his dream of piloting his own single-engine plane around the world and being the first Chinese-born aviator to join the elite group of Earthrounders (those who have flown themselves around the world in a light aircraft).
His adopted hometown of Memphis celebrated his return with a large gathering of family, friends, dignitaries and fans at Wilson Air Center at Memphis International to see his aircraft touch down and rejoice in his safe return from this great accomplishment. A water arch salute by the Airport's fire fighting trucks greeted him as he taxied toward the hangar at Wilson Air.
Notable guests at the celebration included Memphis Mayor AC Wharton and Shelby County Mayor Mark Luttrell. Also in attendance was Elgen M. Long, best known for being the first person to fly around the world over both poles in 1971, and David W. Jourdan, the founder of Nauticos and member of the Explorer's Club. The event was spearheaded by Airport Commissioner Jon Thompson.
Chen departed Memphis on May 22 and along the way visited some 40 cities in 29 countries. At each stop he touted Memphis, the city he now calls home. His plane, a Daher-Socata TBM 700, was named The Memphis Wei, adding to the global recognition for the city. Even more significant is that this Memphis aviator and businessman is the first to have been allowed to land a general aviation aircraft at the Beijing Capital International Airport, hopefully opening the way for others in China.

It's not a job — it's a resume builder! It's an opportunity to have a positive impact on the life of another, as well as your own.
Working at camp this summer may be of far more value than you realize. Don't underestimate the short- and long-term advantages that your summer employment may deliver. Think about this quote from True North, a recent leadership development book by Bill George with Doug Baker: "The missing link in leadership development is having a safe place where people can share their experiences, challenges, and frustrations, and receive honest feedback." The only thing they failed to say is that this describes the "camp" work environment.
As an emerging leader, camp gives you real-world experience, an opportunity to receive immediate and relevant reflection and feedback designed to ensure success, and a chance to learn to work in groups sharing interactions and problem solving. Camp directors and owners invest in the training and development of their counselors knowing that you are the key component to successful, positive camp experiences. Developing you as a leader is important and directly related to the growth and development of all the campers you are working with this summer. You are molding and shaping moral and engaged future leaders who will contribute to the health and success of our globe. This is an important job.
We also know that smart leaders must possess emotional intelligence if they hope to use their IQ successfully — maximizing performance and future business success. Understanding these competencies and knowing how to articulate them when developing a future resume or during an interview is critical. Let's consider the value of your expanded self-awareness: Through coaching and mentorship, you will learn to be aware of emotions and attitudes and how they can affect people's subsequent abilities to participate, contribute, or perform. As a leader, this kind of understanding gives you insight into relationships and the opportunity to diminish unproductive and wasted energy.
Knowledge of emotions also advances your ability to apply self-discipline and regulation to your own performance. You will understand how to work with others to identify constructive improvement strategies that people appreciate versus punitive, frustrated criticism. Verbal and non-verbal acumen will be a critical ingredient to your leadership development. Social skills as simple as direct eye contact, easy introductions, and firm handshakes demonstrate confidence and interest in others. If you are present, participatory, and open to learning as much as you are teaching, the camp experience will be your own self-discovery process. This job is a journey that gives you guideposts to help you throughout your entire career.
We always tell campers that they can redefine themselves at camp — they can shed old labels and discover new talents, skills, and friendships. Camp counselors have a similar opportunity. As you fine tune your leadership skills, such as communication, problem solving, conflict resolution, team work, and reflection, you, too, will make friends who will be lifelong members of your influential network. Envision who you want to be as a leader and create that future this summer.

Cased ambrotype of Captain Samuel A. Whiteside, Company B, 48th Tennessee Infantry (Voorhies') Regiment, CSA
Whiteside was captured at Fort Donelson and sent to Johnson's Island, Ohio. He was paroled and returned to his regiment, only to be recaptured at Port Hudson, Louisiana, in 1863. He was re-interned at Johnson's Island where he spent the rest of the war.
Looking Back: The Civil War in Tennessee Collection
"The most incorrigible Rebel this side of Dixie"
Lieutenant Thomas D. Houston describing himself at Johnson's Island Prison, Sandusky Bay, Ohio
Conditions in Civil War prisons were appalling, and an estimated 56,000 people died there. More than 150 prisons were filled beyond capacity, with inmates crowded into camps and shelters with meager provisions. Disease was rampant in most prisons. Smallpox (the "speckled monster"), dysentery, pneumonia, measles, and diarrhea killed tens of thousands.
Confederate captives were held at places like Camp Chase (Columbus, Ohio), Johnson's Island (Sandusky Bay, Ohio), Camp Douglas (Chicago, Illinois), Fort Delaware (Pea Patch Island, Delaware), Elmira Prison (Elmira, New York), Rock Island Arsenal (Arsenal Island, Illinois), Camp Morton (Indianapolis, Indiana), and Irving Block Prison (Memphis, Tennessee).
"Hanging Prisoners by the Thumbs," from Scraps from the Prison Table, at Camp Chase and Johnson's Island by Joseph Barbie, 1868
Library Collection
Some Southerners called Union prisons "Bastilles," a reference to the infamous prison of the French Revolution. Officers and enlisted men were frequently assigned to separate prisons. Fort Warren (Boston, Massachusetts) housed officers and Confederate diplomats. Most had a "comfortable" stay. Major Nathaniel F. Cheairs, Company F, 3rd Tennessee Infantry Regiment, enjoyed fine wine and cigars, hosted lavish dinners for Union officers and fellow prisoners, and was occasionally given free rein of the city.
Thomas H. Deavenport, 3rd Tennessee Infantry, captured at Fort Donelson, spent months at Camp Douglas (Chicago, Illinois). The regiment was "met by insults all along the way to prison . . . Around Alton [Illinois] there were some sympathizers—mostly ladies," but mostly there was swearing and name-calling. The men were marched through Chicago where the crowds saw them as "far better than a menagerie." Women laughed at them in the streets. Children were heard exclaiming, "Ma, they are white like us."
Deavenport recalled that the orderly of his company had a favorite chicken, Jake, which he carried to prison. Jake rode on the soldier's knapsack through the city, and every few minutes he would crow.

Civil War Collection
Johnson's Island on Lake Erie held officers who enjoyed a lively cultural life. Organized prayer meetings and debating societies were open, and the camp's "Rebel Thespians" put on original plays. Despite harsh weather conditions, Johnson's Island had one of the lowest mortality rates of any Civil War prison. The Union's Fort Delaware, on the other hand, was dubbed "The Fort Delaware Death Pen," while Elmira Prison had close to a 25% mortality rate.
Union captives were kept at sites such as Libby Prison and Belle Isle (both in Richmond, Virginia), Cahaba Prison (Cahaba, Alabama), Confederate Prison No. 6 (Danville, Virginia), and Camp Sumter (Andersonville, Georgia). Old Capitol Prison (Washington, D.C.) was also used by the U. S. Government to imprison Union officers guilty of insubordination.
"Let Us Forgive, But Not Forget," lithograph of Andersonville Prison, Stockade, and Hospital, Chicago, Illinois, 1884
Tucker-Vaughn Papers
Camp Sumter was the most notorious prison of all. During its 14-month existence, Camp Sumter (better known as Andersonville) saw 45,000 Union soldiers pass through its gates, and nearly 13,000 of them died. In August 1864, some 32,000 prisoners (three times its capacity) were herded onto its 16.5 acres. Conditions were so wretched and cruel that prison commandant Henry Wirz was convicted and executed for war crimes by the U. S. government.
Wirz was hanged for disregarding the use of civilized warfare, employing torture, administering impure vaccines, and destroying the lives and health of thousands. The camp's wretched conditions — exposure to inclement weather, inadequate housing, spoiled food, filthy water, and withholding medical treatment — broke the bodies and spirits of those held prisoner there.

Looking Back: The Civil War in Tennessee Collection
Among the Union prisoner of war camps, Camp Douglas was sometimes called the "Andersonville of the North." Poorly situated in low-lying, wet ground, Camp Douglas opened in 1861 as a U. S. Army training camp. It was converted from a training camp to a prisoner of war camp after the Battle of Fort Donelson in February 1862. About 8,000 of the 12-15,000 Confederate prisoners captured at the Battle of Fort Donelson (February 11-16, 1862) were Camp Douglas' first arrivals. Between 1862-1865, approximately 4-6,000 Confederate prisoners died from starvation, disease, and cold at Camp Douglas. Despite the filth, freezing temperatures, inadequate clothing, and disease, however, some Confederates told of being treated humanely.
Autograph book compiled at Johnson's Island Prison, Sandusky Bay, Ohio, 1862
Samuel Dold Morgan Papers
Confederate prisoners compiled this small volume for Sammie Morgan, young son of fellow prisoner Captain St. Clair Morgan. Captain Morgan, Company D, 10th Tennessee Infantry Regiment, was captured at Fort Donelson (1862) and paroled from Johnson's Island; he fought again at Chickamauga in 1863, where he was killed.
The book is filled with humorous and thoughtful comments. In a poem, Lieutenant John B. Corn scorns two prisoners who "took the oath." He calls them cowards, traitors, false friends, and "recreant knights." Officers entertained themselves by writing and performing original plays and musicals.
Captain J. W. Youngblood's autograph, Sandusky Bay, Ohio, ca. 1863
A. S. Kierolf Autograph Book, Civil War Collection
Other accounts of conditions differ sharply. Harsh Ohio winters, fuel shortages, and disease took their toll, but Johnson's Island still had one of the lowest death rates among all Federal prisoner of war camps.
The map shows the hospital, barracks, promenade grounds, sentry stations, and sutler's department.
Captain J. W. Youngblood, from Memphis, was a Confederate Signal Corps officer and was captured at Port Hudson, Louisiana, on March 18, 1863. He was held at Johnson's Island and evidently kept his sense of humor during his stay. The captain writes of being an actor in the "Rebel Thespians" and "Bottle holder in the great snow-fight between the Esquimeaux [Eskimos] and the Arctic Region Imperialists." He notes in the book that he was "Gobbled [captured] near Port Hudson, La., March 16th 1863, by a Dutchman with the 'sweet German accent.'" Dutchman was a term used to describe native German soldiers.
Hand-drawn ink & watercolor of Rock Island Arsenal by J. M. Breeding, Arsenal Island, Illinois, November 1863
Looking Back: The Civil War in Tennessee Collection
Barracks, horses, guards, wagons, a wooden-horse punishment device, and a burial detail are depicted in this pen and watercolor painting. Located in the Mississippi River, the Rock Island was first used as a prisoner of war camp in 1863 to house Confederates captured around Chattanooga. Many of those men were already infected with smallpox, pneumonia, and dysentery. Brutal weather contributed to unhealthy conditions, and nearly 2,000 Confederates died at Rock Island. In Gone with the Wind, Margaret Mitchell wrote of rumors that Ashley Wilkes had been sent to Rock Island.
"Brownlow at Camp Chase," from Scraps from the Prison Table, at Camp Chase and Johnson's Island by Joseph Barbiere, 1868
Library Collection
Camp Chase opened in May 1861 as a training camp for Ohio army volunteers and as a camp for Confederate prisoners of war. Overcrowding in the prisoner of war camp at Camp Chase led to shortages of food, medicine, blankets, and clothing. Close quarters sped outbreaks of disease — nearly 500 prisoners died in February 1863 during a smallpox epidemic. The "speckled monster," carried by Confederate captives, began infecting several Northern cities. By 1865, the camp population was just under 9,500 men on 6 acres.
More than 2,000 Confederates are buried in the cemetery at Camp Chase. In 1902, a monument was erected to honor the Southern soldiers and citizens who died at the camp, and yearly memorial services have been held since 1896. The first ceremony was organized by a former Union colonel. The grounds are said to be haunted by a melancholy ghost known as the "Lady in Grey." The tale is that she weeps over the grave of Private Benjamin Allen, Company D, 50th Tennessee Infantry Regiment.
In 1862, William G. "Parson" Brownlow (1805-1877) visited Camp Chase. Brownlow was the editor of a Knoxville newspaper, Governor of Tennessee (1865-1869), and U. S. Senator (1869-1875). He was adamantly opposed to secession and he published numerous articles in the Knoxville Whig harshly critical of the Confederacy. Because of his outspoken support of the Union, he was arrested, jailed on treason charges in December 1861, and exiled to Union-controlled Nashville in March 1862. Beginning in April 1862, he took up a 6-month speaking tour through several Nothern states, and he appeared at Camp Chase, Ohio, where many Tennesseans were held. One eyewitness of Brownlow's visit wrote that "the prisoners . . . will remember his looks, cadaverous and sinister," but the crowd gave him a patient hearing.
Elliott McKinnie was a sergeant in Company G, 89th Ohio Infantry Regiment, USA; he was captured at the Battle of Chickamauga on September 19, 1863, and died of fever at Andersonville on August 20/21, 1864 (sources vary). His father, Richard Bard McKinnie, believed Elliott died of starvation. Elliott's father kept a diary in which he recorded news of Elliott's capture in the "great Battle at Chattanooga" [Chickamauga], word of the boy's imprisonment at Richmond's Libby Prison, his escape from a Danville, Virginia, prison, and his recapture. He did not learn of his son's death until four months after it occurred. In late December, word came that Elliott had "died in the Stockade prison on the 20th day of August last of a camp fever" at Andersonville. Every August 20 until 1878, Richard made an entry remembering Elliott's death in the custody of "the most unnatural brutes that ever disgraced humanity."
William H. Merriman was from Hawkins County, Tennessee, and served in Company B, 60th Tennessee Infantry Regiment, CSA. He was captured at the Battle of Big Black River Bridge in Mississippi on May 17, 1863. After his capture, he was sent to Fort Delaware, then to City Point, Virginia, and then to Point Lookout, Maryland. At its peak, the 40-acre stockade at Point Lookout held 20,000 prisoners — twice its capacity. Polluted water, food shortages, and exposure to the region's harsh winters contributed to the deaths of nearly 4,000 men.
Merriman became a "galvanized Yankee" (a Confederate prisoner who took the Oath of Allegiance) and enlisted in the U. S. Army on January 25, 1864. He was detailed as a hospital steward in Company C, 1st United States Volunteer Infantry Regiment, and died of scurvy at Fort Rice, Dakota Territory (now North Dakota), on March 5, 1865. In June 1896, his remains were moved from Fort Rice to the Custer National Cemetery in Montana.
Letter from Washington Barrow to Mrs. Bass, Fort Mackinac, Michigan, July 30, 1862
Civil War Collection
PDF of entire letter
George Washington Barrow (1807-1866) was born in Davidson County. He served a single term in the Tennessee House of Representatives in 1837 and served as the U. S. Minister to Portugal from 1841-1844. From 1847-1849, he served as a member of the Whig Party in the U. S. House of Representatives.
Barrow was one of three wealthy Nashvillians arrested for being Confederate sympathizers. They were the only Southern prisoners ever held at Fort Macinack. Barrow writes of constant surveillance and the restrictions and monotony of prison life. He claims that authorities forget "that we have not been convicted of any crime" and that they are "prisoners of State." He was the only one of the three to refuse the oath of allegiance. William G. Harding and Josephus C. Guild agreed to it and were released. Barrow was transferred to Johnson's Island and exchanged in 1863.
Letter from Thomas M. Durham to his wife, Camp Morton, Indianapolis, Indiana, August 11, 1863
Tennessee Historical Society Civil War Collection
Thomas M. Durham was a private in Company D, 9th Tennessee Cavalry Regiment (Ward's), CSA, and was captured at the Batttle of Buffington Island on July 19, 1863. In this letter, Durham tells his wife that he has "enjoyed verry good health ever since I left home . . . how long we will be cept hear I can't tell som days we hear it talked that we will be Paroled . . . I suppose you are anxious to now our treatment by the Federals, they have treated us like Gentlemen since we have bin Prisners I doan't think we have any thing to complain of." Durham's letter was optimistic even though conditions at Camp Morton varied between humane and horrible. For example, in the winter of 1863-64, below-zero temperatures contributed to many deaths. Still, death rates were considered low.

Durham's wife, Martha, wrote back to him:
The children are both fat and saucy. Cinda has not forgot her pa yet little Mat can walk and talk [a] few words she can call pa She hears cinda call pa and she calls too. Mr. Durham I would give any thing on this earth to see you. I am all most tempted to aske you to take the oath and com home for I think this little confedresy is all most wound up . . . pray for peace and hapiness in our land [once] more our land that was one so happy Oh that we could enjoy that hapiness again . . . [I] do not forget to pray for you both day and night for you are last when I close my eyes at night and first when I wake at morn.
Sometime before the end of February 1864, Durham was sent from Camp Morton to Camp Douglas, where he died from smallpox on November 26, 1864.

Bell Family Papers
PDF of entire letter
William B. Bell was a private in Company B, 10th Tennessee Cavalry Regiment, CSA, and was captured in Dickson County, Tennessee, on September 16, 1863. Writing in December from Camp Morton, Bell reassured his wife that he was doing well and that his friends said that he was "as bright & cheerful as usual." He also wrote that they must trust a "just & most mercifull God for a continuation of his blessings upon us." Bell did complain that there was too much gambling in camp and that a large number of prisoners had petitioned to take the oath of allegiance. If it were not for his "anxiety to see you, I would enjoy myself very well for a prisoner." Bell was paroled at Camp Morton on February 14, 1865.

The jolly drawing is deceptive. Although prisoners were allowed to participate in prayer groups and plays, filthy conditions and disease were common. During February 1863, when temperatures reportedly plunged to -20 degrees, the mortality rate at Douglas was one of the highest among any prison camp, North or South.

We had ourselves a good ol' (indoor) birthday BBQ last night!
It's true – sadly, the rain did not hold off and it poured for most of the day yesterday. But, ever the improviser, my Mom still made the grilled burgers my Dad requested and we feasted. It was a good one!
Burgers alongside baked potatoes that my Mom cut open and broiled with parmesan cheese, cheddar cheese and bacon. OMG! Crunchy, cheesy, salty & creamy. So.Good!
Plus some fresh, steamed green beans and a cucumber & tomato salad with feta cheeeeese!
ACE meal, Ma!
Now onto the GOODS – presents! Clothes, mostly. Everything a Dad could ever want. ;)
The guys were having serious issues with taking pictures last night…
There we go!
The happy couple. :)
Awwww – I LOVE this picture!
Father/daughter. :mrgreen:
After dinner, Ben and I had to head over to my brother and sister-in-law's house to babysit our nephew. I think Ben was still hungry…
My nephew is at a great age right now – several months shy of his first birthday. He's starting to "get" it now, crawling and doing things on his own. I love that every time I see him, he's learned something new. Babies grow up so fast!
In other news, last night before dinner, I bought a new yoga session from Yogadownload.com – 30 minute Power Vinyasa Flow #4. I've been tightfistedly doing my 40 minute Flow #2 session for several weeks, and decided it was time to shell out some cheddah for another session. I went through it last night, and again this morning after my morning Mom walk.
Verdict? Flow #4 is much more fast paced than flow #2, which I really liked. I feel like I'm maybe getting better at yoga (?!) and this felt like a natural progression into a more challenging session.
It was challenging in the pace, but not necessarily in the poses, though. I feel like I work harder in flow #2 – but either way, it's nice to have another class on my desktop that I can play anytime I want!
After this morning's walk and yoga, I wanted something light to eat – exercise always makes me feel that way – so I made…toast! How long has it been since you had toast for breakfast? ;)
My toast was made with EarthGrains 100% Whole Wheat Bread – I will never buy another brand, I'm sure of it. This bread is hearty and keeps me full all morning long.
I slathered one slice with peanut butter and the other with butter.
Lunch is a mish mash of items that I am truly excited about.
I roasted the leftover tofu from my Fresh Spring Rolls @ 375 for 20 minutes after tossing the cubes in soy sauce, agave nectar, garlic powder and ground ginger. THE BEST COMBO – I'm tellin' ya'!
And…just to make sure I got enough nut butter today…Crunchy Roasted Flaxseed Almond Butter with a Pink Lady Apple and baby carrots for dipping!
Yep – I'm going to be real sad when this crunchy flaxseed almond butter runs out. Or will I…?
Are you excited, or are ARE YOU EXCITED?!?!?! This is the best news I've had all year! (Is that sad?!)
Okie dokie, I'm off to start my day. After work I'm meeting my entire family for some drinks and apps to continue my Dad's birthday celebration, since not everyone could be there last night. Should be fun – see you laterrr!!
What's on tap for the weekend? Errands, events, relaxation?
I've got my weekend warrior list already filled with errands and chores, but it's supposed to be sunny and in the upper 80s all weekend, so I'm going to try and be outside as much as possible. I'm really wanting to make it to our local tennis courts too – tennis is such a great workout! :D

A team of physicists at the University of California in Berkeley (UCB) announces the development of a new method of mapping the planet's magnetic field. Their approach does not rely on the use of expensive satellites or other orbit-based surveillance systems.
Analyzing Earth's magnetic field is tremendously important, planetary scientists say. Data collected from such studies can be used to look deep under the crust, or even to track powerful storms.
But such an effort typically requires expensive satellites, and the current economic climate does not allow for such capabilities to be readily deployed. As such, experts had to come up with a new means of conducting their investigations.
The UCB group was able to do so using only a ground-based laser, which is aimed at a layer of sodium atoms located high in the atmosphere, at altitudes of about 90 kilometers (60 miles).
After the laser pulses excite these atoms, a telescope observes the light they emit. "Normally, the laser makes the sodium atom fluoresce," explains UCB professor of physics Dmitry Budker, the leader of the research team that developed the new technique.
"But if you modulate the laser light, when the modulation frequency matches the spin precession of the sodium atoms, the brightness of the spot changes," the expert explains.
The reason why these atoms are targeted is because the local magnetic field determines the frequency at which they precess. As such, using the new study method from any location on Earth will help scientists determine the properties of the planet's magnetic field at those locations.
Details of the new investigation appear in this week's online issue of the esteemed journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS). The work was carried out in collaboration with scientists from the European Southern Observatory (ESO).
"A ground-based remote sensing system allows you to measure when and where you want and avoids problems of spatial and temporal dependence caused by satellite movement," Budker explains.
"Initially, this is going to be competitive with the best satellite measurements, but it could be improved drastically," he goes on to say.
The expert believes that a single, 20- to 50-watt laser could be sufficient for magnetic field analysis. Such a device would be small enough to fit on a truck or small boat. In order to operate properly, it would need to be tuned to a wavelength of 589 nanometers, at the orange sodium line.

Cooling oil with fuel?
So I was sitting around thinking today (AKA avoiding doing real work), and I wondered if anyone had thought about designing a fuel/oil cooler to replace the coolant/oil cooler and in lieu of going with the air cooler.
I think it might be useful for a number of reasons:
1. Fuel is much much cooler than your coolant and would therefor cool the oil much faster.
2. You don't need to be moving for it to be effective, useful if you idle a lot.
3. It would heat the fuel up, aiding atomization and better combustion.
Any thoughts? This certainly isn't something that I'm going to go do any time soon as I'm no McGyver, but it seemed way better than trying to cool oil with something that's already 190!
P.S. Only other consideration I'd think would be to ensure that in the cooler the fuel was pumped at a higher pressure than the oil, so if it suffered a leak, you'd get fuel in your oil instead of oil in your fuel...
Has someone done it? YES. There are plenty of cooling systems that in fact use FUEL as the coolant - notably most spacecraft engines including the venerable Space Shuttle orbiter's three main engines. The fuel (liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen) cools the engine nacelles themselves before combustion for propulsion also cooling the lubrication system (not oil but rare metals and composites) that keeps the engines' gimbals and bearings from seizing.
Has someone done it for the 6.0L? I don't know specifically but in practice there are propane and water-meth injection systems for fuel delivery to keep the engine from running hotter - which by second order effect slows excessive oil temperature buildup.
Ultimately, another cooler in the engine - even as an alternative - strikes me as impractical (and potentially cost prohibitive to engineer). As for mixing the fluids, while undesirable in practice (fuel dilution of the oil is not good for main bearings), oil in the fuel seems the less dangerous or at least the less undesirable condition...diesels are referred to as oil burners after all! and more than a few even put a drop (or more) in their fuel tank for lubricity enhancement.
I couldn't resist an Aerospace moment...
1994 graduate of the Georgia Institute of Technology as an Aerospace Engineer - and lifelong space nut.
1.) yes, the fuel may be cooler than the coolant, but once you run fuel through the cooler and back into the tank you warm the remaining fuel in the tank with no way to cool it, except through the plastic/metal of the tank into the air. Thus you would quickly heat the fuel beyond useful heat transfer delta.
2.) the more fuel you use, the less coolant you have hence enhancing the problem stated above.
3.) cooler diesel fuel is actually better for combustion and atomization. Just like air, you get more power and cleaner combustion from cooler fuel, hence why some engines (Detroit, Cat...etc) have fuel coolers as well.
4.) having The fuel pressure higher than the oil pressure would happen just from the operating pressures of both systems. But, fuel dilution of crankcase oil is a big concern in diesel engines. You dilute and therefor lose the lubrication of the oil which increases wear and heat stress which results in potentially massive failures. Oil in the fuel would be the lesser of two evils, but even then you would be on borrowed time as the oil in the crankcase disappears.
Just my two cense.
common practice in aircraft, cools the oil and stops the fuel icing up by warming it
You might want to consider that part of the reason for using the coolant is to help warm the oil when it is cold out. As for cooling the oil with 190* coolant that really isn't a big problem. I have been told by more than one engine builder that the ideal temp for the oil is 215*.
I have a few buddies that are in Aero E, they are a little out there, at least compared to us ME's lol.
Interesting points! I thought about it mainly because I know that some GE turbine engines do this, but I guess there are some additional considerations for reciprocating engines and vice-versa.
Would diesel fuel in the oil create enough dilution to cause issues in the crankcase? I figure that diesel can still lubricate, just not to the same standard as a 15w50 oil. I do get the oil in the fuel issue... I was thinking of it from an aircraft engine perspective of if you foul the gas, you come out of the sky; whereas I'll gladly take the risk of an engine shutdown due to excessive oil in the fuel over my engine seizing due to lack of oil.
As far as heating the fuel in the tank up to 190... I was thinking that the fuel would cool the oil on it's way to the injector and the vast majority of that heated fuel would never make it back to the tank...
Either way, I like theoretical engineering discussions... mainly because it will never happen, so we're all right

Jetblue (B6) and Japan Airlines (JL) reached a codeshare agreement for 21 US destinations from B6's stronghold cities of New York and Boston. JAL had direct flights from both cities to Tokyo. The codeshare strengthens the interline agreement that they had established in February.
It is interesting to note that none of the 21 destinations are currently served directly by JAL's Oneworld partner American Airlines (AA). That is not surprising given the strong ties B6 has with AA. Last November, AA announced the ability to each AA miles on select B6 routes and vice versa.
Unfortunately, you cannot yet redeem AA miles on B6 at the moment. Am I being absurdly optimistic in guessing that reciprocal miles redemption ability may be coming soon?

No, JetBlue is not trying to get in on oneworld. Yes, they have added codeshares with JL. They've also added with EK and they're apparently working on others. This is all about growing their marketing and partner base, not getting in on an alliance. Joining oneworld wouldn't be nearly as useful for them right now.
open architecture = codeshare whore
I dont see the benefits of an alliance when you could have this arrangement. As for the 21 destinations not being AA, I see that as a sign of JL and AA's partnership, not b6. B6 is using AA for all the money they can steal and compete on a variety of routes from JFK, BOS and soon entering DFW.
Alaska does the same thing… while I'd love to see B6 in Oneworld, I agree with the above that there isn't an incentive for them to join. Codeshares do everything they need. What this really says is that Japan-based flyers are also wanting to ticket straight-through to these destinations.
@ Seth you are right, joining OW wouldn't be a prudent decision for JetBlue. But their AS'ish codesharing behavior is pretty interesting as Noah stated.
@ Mike I don't really care about B6 joining OW. But ability to redeem AA miles on B6 would be neat.

4,000 cigarettes are seized in raid
Posted: May 01, 2014|
NEARLY 4,000 illegal cigarettes were seized from a Swadlincote store during a trading standards raid.
Officers swooped on the shop, which has not been named, as part of a huge operation to crack down on the sale of counterfeit goods, with five kilogrammes of tobacco also unearthed.
The majority of the illicit products were stashed in concealed storage areas, including behind false shelving panels and sinks, and were found thanks to the detective work of police sniffer dogs.
In total, the haul is estimated to be worth around £3,000, with police making one arrest.
The county's force said the store would not be named until the investigation had been completed.
Derbyshire County Council said the latest operation was a signal of its intent to stamp out the sale of banned cigarettes and tobacco, which are either counterfeit, and potentially harmful, or have had no duty paid on them.
The authority's health and communities chief Dave Allen said: "We're sending out a clear message to shopkeepers that we will not tolerate illegal trading.
"We're standing up for legitimate local traders whose businesses are being damaged by these shops selling illicit tobacco cheaply and consumers who face increased risks from counterfeit goods which are not checked or regulated."
Detective Inspector Henry Dick, of Derbyshire Police, said: "We're keen to continue to support county council trading standards officers in their vital investigations into the sale of illicit and counterfeit tobacco.
"Their work in this area is essential to help us combat organised criminality which is very lucrative and we'll continue to offer any support that will disrupt this activity."

The wackiest thing to happen to driving since rush hour! You're racing down a highway, but there's a traffic jam up ahead. You can bump the cars out of the way, or jump them to score points. But slow drivers aren't the only hazards on the road! You must jump over water, and debris dropped in your path by dumptrucks. And beware of the reckless driver! Get out of enough jams and you can stop at the gas station for a fill-up.

Dancers aren't the only ones who defy gravity onstage. Tutus have their own magical way of looking otherworldly. Ever wondered how you could create your own from scratch? Prescott & Mackay, an independent fashion design school with locations in London and San Francisco, offers two-day tutu-making courses using The Royal Ballet standard. Over the course of 14 hours, students create a 10-layer, 16 inch tutu skirt, guided by costumer Amanda Hall.
What makes Los Angeles such an elusive place for ballet? The city is a cultural capital when you look at it in terms of music, theater and visual art, not to mention film. But for some reason, concert dance has never been able to set down roots with any permanence or prestige. Even Los Angeles Ballet's name-brand directors and choreographers haven't been able to lift that company out of pick-up troupe status.
Pre-performance jitters got you shaking in your pointe shoes? Grab a snack! Foods that are rich in carbohydrates, vitamin B or magnesium can help calm your nerves. After a few bites, these types of foods enable your body to produce serotonin, which gives you a calm and relaxed feeling. Carbohydrates like cereal and popcorn, vitamin B-filled bananas and magnesium-packed cucumber and pumpkin seeds will help you fight anxiety—and fit perfectly in your dance bag.
Dead pointe shoes aren't good for much. But the Kentucky Museum has decided to spotlight a couple of iconic pairs as part of their Instruments of American Excellence exhibit. One of the sets is from New York City Ballet principal Sara Mearns, the other from American Ballet Theatre's Julie Kent. They'll be presented along with over 140 pieces of memorabilia such as the underwater camera housing used by Titanic discoverer Dr.
Miami City Ballet announced today that founding artistic director Edward Villella bid farewell to the company this morning. It set the ballet world abuzz, since successor Lourdes Lopez wasn't scheduled to take over until until April 2013.
Want to sit down with Peter Boal, Alexei Ratmansky and Nikolai Hübbe? Okay, maybe you can't bring them into your living room in person. But you can stream their chats at Guggenheim's Works & Process live on your computer. Here are three dates every bunhead should mark on the calendar.
September 9 at 7:30 pm EST: Balanchine by Way of Seattle
The season of summer festivals may be winding down, but it's not over yet. Next week will bring the Laguna Dance Festival to southern California. Alonzo King's LINES Ballet, Hubbard Street Dance Chicago and Orange County's own Backhausedance will take the stage of the intimate Laguna Playhouse.
The dog days of August may be hot and humid, but that doesn't mean your dancing has to suffer. In fact, a new study shows that working out in higher temperatures may even make you stronger! Check it out.
Sundays in Indiana just got a whole lot more interesting. Ballet greats will be flocking to the state over the next few months to participate in Indianapolis City Ballet's Master Class series. SAB's Darci Kistler, ABT's Irina Dvorovenko and Maxim Beloserkovsky, JKO's Franco De Vita, NYCB's Wendy Whelan and Daniel Ulbricht, John Cranko School director Tadeusz Matacz—these are some legit "masters" offering technique class.
Fall is almost here. What will you do this year to take your training to the next level? Smart dancers know they need to stay on the lookout for opportunities that will improve their artistry, whether it's a new competition, a mock-audition course or a master class in a technique they've never tried before.

And some practical advice too!
My first credit card?
I remember my college days when it seemed there was a credit card advertisement on practically every bulletin board on campus. The banks would travel to the college and set up application booths on registration day. Hundreds of students would apply for a credit card. As an enticement, we were offered freebies like T-shirts, water bottles, and key chains. So I took whatever they were handing out. You can't beat free. The next thing I knew, I had signed on the dotted line. It wasn't long before that little plastic card arrived in the mail. It was time to establish my credit history. I was off to the mall. Life was good!
Stuff happens?
I made my student credit card the solution to all my financial emergencies when I attended college. Needless to say there were plenty of them. There were tuition bills, school supplies, car repairs, and midnight pizzas to pay for. The old saying was true. "When they've got you, they've got you". That little piece of plastic bailed me out of more financial predicaments than I could count. I honestly don't know what I would have done without it. The student credit card "thing" was a pretty cool idea.
My day of reckoning?
The monthly statements arrived one after another. I had been in the habit of making the minimum payment and ignoring the bottom line. Not a good idea. All those credit card purchases left me with a pretty hefty balance. The finance charges were mind-boggling. It was time to take action. I started to allocate more of my monthly income toward my credit card bill and phased out frivolous purchases. My balance actually began to dwindle (Thank God). I developed a better understanding of what credit cards are intended to be. They're certainly not free money! Put simply, they're a convenient loan that has to be repaid.
A word to the wise?
When applying for a credit card, students need to consider the fees involved. Take a hard look at the finance charge, annual fee, and late payment fee. Shy away from cash advances if possible. Consider a low limit credit card. Do a comparison and search for competitive rates. Study your card agreement thoroughly. If you don't understand something, call customer service. Ask questions.
Set up a realistic budget and follow it closely. Avoid impulse shopping on your credit card. Try to use the card only in real emergencies. Try to pay your bill promptly and keep your finance charges to a minimum. This will help you to establish a good credit history.
You may also want to consider using a debit card. The money is deducted right out of your checking account. This way you can't spend more than you have.
Remember to approach credit cards sensibly. When used properly, they can be a real lifesaver!

After posting the article about 34 Ways to Waste Less Food, some of the ideas offered really stood out to me. I decided to try some of the ideas on there. The first experiment I tried was:
#13. Break your bananas apart and increase their counter life.
Here is the before picture:
And here is how they looked a week later!!!
I do have to say that I am quite impressed! One more step towards alleviating food waste, saving money, and doing another thing that is ultimately good for the environment!
Happy Friday, everyone!

The hotel and staff were all amazing, right from check in to checkout. The service is second to none and is highly recommended.
The hotel location is amazing, we had a great sea view from our room and the food stunning.
The service, the quality of accommodation, the location, the food, and the staff: ALL exceptionally brilliant. We both had an amazing time, and we cannot thank the Highcliff Marriott enough for setting such a high standard in everything, from reception to departure. Thank you thank you thank you!
Perfect getaway hotel in prime location with superb staff and excellent food - would recommend to anyone. Rooms well appointed and comfortable - 5 stars from us.
Our room was immaculate, the food was lovely (though the menu we found slightly limited), real 5-star service, and we were made to feel special. I would be happy to reccommend this hotel to anyone considering it.
It was my first trip to Bournemouth and I love it. Beautiful beach and lots of places to explore. Hotel staff are friendly. Breakfast and dinner were excellent. Lots of excellent facilities provided (if you can find some spare time to use them as there are many beautiful places nearby to explore). Only minor issue is that the room we got was a bit too small for my liking. Otherwise a very pleasant and relaxing trip. Would recommend this experience.
The room (461)was splendid but needs to be air conditioned ( it was very warm), lovely view. Balcony doors need catches to keep them open in the wind. Service was second to non, everybody was extremely polite and helpful. The set menu was disappointing in that on both nights it was the same and given limited appetites we found choices difficult. That said the food was good and the staff most helpful.What prompted you to give us these scores? A most enjoyable experience. The golf staff were outstanding, especially Glen who helped me sort out my chipping which was crap but is now much better. He didn't charge me anything and when I offered to buy him a drink said he didn't drink. What dedication. My wife enjoyed her spa treatment and the pool and other facilities were super. I like your child rules! ( Spot the teacher!) When I have saved up enough we will come again.
Staff and hotel outstanding - could not have asked for better.
We had a wonderful time! Arranging the day was so easy, the staff at the Red Letter day were so helpful and the the staff at the hotel were so friendly. The whole weekend was brilliant!
Arrived at the Bournemouth Marriott early and got checked in straight away,a lovely hotel. Staff could not do enough to help you, the room was fantastic with breathtaking coastal views, and the indoor pool was lovely. The meals was excellent. All in all 10 out of 10, a perfect UK break.
We arrived at the hotel late afternoon on Friday 7th May and from booking in to booking out the hotel and its staff could not have been more perfect. The hotel setting and ambience was a delight. Staff were friendly and efficent making our Red Letter weekend a truly memorable experience.
From the drive upto the Hanbury Manor the experience started. A long weekend of luxury. Health club had excellent facilities and all meals in the Oakes were well presented.
I am never very comfortable going to hotels ... Is it going to be too hot in the bedroom? Will it be noisy? The pillows can be dodgy... Happily, our 2 night stay at the Marriot in Maida Vale, London was really good! The staff gave us a lovely welcome on reception and our room was on the top floor - nice and quiet, comfortable and cosy. The food was excellent, the Irish Coffee we had in the bar after our meal was excellent (not often I give that accolade) and all in all, it restored my faith in service and attention to detail. The administration with Red Letter Days was very smooth as well. Many thanks!
Marriott hotels provide excellent accommodation and facilities. Tudor Park, Maidstone ticked all the boxes, as expected. However the restaurant was well above expectation. The relatively small menu is interesting and varied, and the food itself is cooked to perfection, presented with flair and served with care. Truly the best 'hotel' restaurant I have ever eaten in. Great hotel, great food, great facilities, interesting area, easy to find ... what more do you want?
Excellent hotel . Exceptionally friendly, helpful staff - nothing was too much trouble for them. The whole experience of Red Letter Days has been wonderful . I would recommend this service for anyone wanting to give an extra special gift to family and friends.
Great location in London, only 5 minutes walk to the tube station, perfect hotel with great facilities, really helpful and friendly staff, and good food. All you need for a perfect weekend away.
Hotel was lovely - great room with a huge bed!! Food was exceptional as was the service at the hotel - shame the British weather couldn't match it but the facilities at the hotel meant there was plenty else to do! Very enjoyable weekend.
Travelling is my 'thing'; I love visiting cities around the world but have never been to London ... thanks to Red Letter Days I had a fabulous weekend and got to visit a great city!!!
Following a stressful 6 months this break was just what the doctor odered. From the moment we arrived we were made to feel very welcome by staff. Our room had a spectacular view of Hanbury Golf Course and the Egyptian cotton bed linen ensured we had a comfortable night's sleep. The food in the Oakes Grill resturant was delicious. The gym is well equipped with a range of cardio equipment and weights. Whether you want to play golf, see the local sights, or just relax, this weekend break is worth every penny. I will definitely recommend it to my family and friends and would not hesitate to return.
Our stay at The Marriott in Maida Vale was wonderful. The hotel itself is modern, clean, comfortable and in an excellent location, but what made our stay so enjoyable was the oustanding quality of service at the hotel. From check in to check out we were treated exceptionally well, all of the staff were polite and attentive and nothing was too much trouble. Our weekend break was everything Red Letter Days said it would be, and more. From the initial booking of our break with Red Letter Days to the break itself, everything went smoothly and exactly as stated. I have already recommended Red Letter Days to anyone who will listen!
