On February 23, 1962, three days after becoming the first American to orbit the Earth, John Glenn stood in the Florida sunshine, about to get a medal from President John F. Kennedy. But first, Kennedy had one for the man who had sent Glenn into space, the director of Project Mercury, a modest, balding engineer named Robert Gilruth. After pinning the NASA Distinguished Service Medal on Gilruth’s jacket, Kennedy motioned him to a microphone. There, bathed in the spotlight of national recognition, Gilruth seemed to want nothing more than to leave it. For a few seconds, he spoke haltingly of his pride in Glenn and the Mercury team. Then he ended abruptly with “I just can’t say any more right now.”

The moment was characteristic of a man whose contributions to the U.S. space program far outweighed the attention he received. Unlike his famous contemporary, Wernher von Braun, Gilruth’s achievements never landed him on the cover of Time. And yet, from NASA’s creation in 1958 until Gilruth’s retirement in 1973, no one did more to enable the missions of Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo. Well before that, working for NASA’s predecessor, the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA), Gilruth made landmark contributions to aeronautics and helped pave the way for the Space Age. Renowned flight director Chris Kraft, one of Gilruth’s closest colleagues, remembered that everyone working on the early manned space program looked up to Gilruth as the leader of that very complex program. “I think you have to say that the man was brilliant, if not a genius,” said Kraft.

Gilruth, however, always seemed to fly under the public’s radar. “In appearance and manner, Mr. Gilruth hardly gives the impression of an adventuresome space pioneer,” said a New York Times profile in 1959. “A monastic frieze of graying hair circles his head. He talks in a monotone and presents a placid, pipe-smoking exterior.” Even to those who worked with him, Gilruth was hardly dynamic. “Sometimes he seemed almost detached from what was going on,” says Gemini and Apollo astronaut Mike Collins. “He was not an easy man to read. He was a quiet man and a private man.”

Born in 1913, Robert Rowe Gilruth grew up in Minnesota fascinated by aviation, and as a teenager in Duluth, he built model airplanes. When he came across an article in the Saturday Evening Post about the NACA’s Langley Memorial Aeronautical Laboratory in Virginia, he saw his future. “I couldn’t believe my eyes that there was a place like that in this country,” he recalled in an oral history recorded at the National Air and Space Museum in 1986.

After graduating from the University of Minnesota in 1935 with a bachelor’s degree in aeronautical engineering, Gilruth stayed on for an additional year to earn a master’s. But Langley Field was always in his mind, and in January 1937, the 23-year-old left Minnesota and arrived at this place of engine laboratories and wind tunnels on the Chesapeake Bay.

Gilruth had expected to be given a job working with the wind tunnels, but in what he later called a lucky break, he was assigned to the flight research section, where he would be working with all kinds of airplanes and the test pilots who flew them. It didn’t take long for Gilruth to make his mark, taking over a project to evaluate the handling qualities of aircraft. Those assessments had always been highly imprecise, Gilruth later recalled: “A pilot would take an airplane up and tell you, ‘Oh, she’s great,’ or ‘It’s too quick on the controls,’ or ‘it’s too sensitive,’ or ‘too sluggish.’ You had to go along with this guy’s sort of seat-of-the-pants opinion, and one pilot would say one thing and another would say another. And they’d have a whole bunch of pilots, and then they’d try to take the center of gravity of opinion.”

Before NASA, Gilruth worked at Langley Field in Hampton, Virginia, where he used the facility’s wind tunnels to conduct aeronautic research. (NASA Langley Research Center)

Instead, Gilruth flew with Langley’s chief test pilot, Mel Gough, in airplanes outfitted with instruments to measure the force necessary for the pilot to deflect the controls, along with the actual positions of the control surfaces and the resulting accelerations. While Gough flew the airplane through a carefully planned flight profile, Gilruth took notes. Later, by correlating Gough’s subjective comments with data from the test instruments, Gilruth was able to characterize the handling characteristics of a variety of aircraft, from the Piper Cub to the Boeing B-17. In 1941, the results were published as a NACA technical report.

Gilruth was soon confronting a new mystery, which emerged during the early years of World War II. “The NACA really was caught off guard by the war,” Gilruth explained decades later. “They didn’t expect the speeds of airplanes to increase up to the speed of sound.” For the first time, fighter pilots in dives were approaching Mach 1, and were suddenly experiencing control problems that were serious—sometimes fatal.

Gilruth had heard reports that combat pilots in near-supersonic dives sometimes spotted faint shock waves forming on their wings, an indication that air passing over the wings was accelerating through Mach 1. He was inspired to create something he thought of as a flying wind tunnel. Perpendicular to the upper surface of the wing of a P-51 Mustang, Gilruth mounted a small airfoil that could be rotated by a mechanism buried inside the wing. During flight, data on the performance of the airfoil would be recorded at different angles of attack, up through the transonic region.

The old guard at Langley criticized Gilruth’s methods, saying they weren’t completely realistic, but Gilruth defended himself by noting that imperfect data were better than none. “You can imagine how they felt,” he recalled, “sitting there with these big wind tunnels, and some kid puts a little model on top of a wing of an airplane and starts turning out data.” With his so-called wing-flow method Gilruth was able to study a variety of airfoils in transonic flight, and he made a key discovery: Thin wings were able to maintain lift as they passed through Mach 1; thick ones were not. That result, which the NACA kept secret, was fed into the design of the rocket-powered X-1 that enabled Chuck Yeager to break the sound barrier in 1947.

By then Gilruth was pushing even further into realms the wind tunnels couldn’t touch. More than 100 miles north of Langley, on Wallops Island, a place populated by horseflies and what he called “some of the hungriest mosquitoes I have ever seen,” Gilruth led a small group of engineers in experiments with instrumented models that were propelled by solid rockets to ever-higher Mach numbers. The Pilotless Aircraft Research Division—PARD as they were known—validated innovations like the swept wings and movable tail surface of the North American F-86, a supersonic fighter used in the Korean War.

After the development of supersonic wind tunnels in the early 1950s, Gilruth, now Langley’s assistant director, and PARD shifted their focus to hypersonic flight, particularly the intense heating that would be experienced by the nose cones of guided missiles as they reentered the atmosphere. Creating multi-stage rockets with guidance systems to push their models to speeds above Mach 10, tracking them with radar, and receiving real-time telemetry from onboard instruments, PARD was becoming an embryonic space program. Its members included Max Faget and Caldwell Johnson, who would go on to design the Mercury capsule. By 1957, with the group’s rockets reaching suborbital velocities, it seemed natural to think in terms of launching a satellite from Wallops. But though they pushed hard for authorization, “we were not getting to first base with anybody in our organization,” Gilruth recalled.

Everything changed with the orbiting of Sputnik in October 1957, and even more, with the launch of the dog-carrying Sputnik 2 a month later. “This obviously means they’re going to fly a man,” Gilruth thought. “It will be a competition between the United States and Russia on who will get the man in space first.” Within months there was talk of creating a space agency, and Gilruth later recalled, “we [at PARD] were kind of…the key group in spearheading NACA into NASA.”

Gilruth spent the summer of 1958 in Washington, D.C., leading a select group of NACA colleagues to define a plan to put an American in orbit. When NASA began operations in October, it was Gilruth who presented the plan to the new agency’s administrator, Keith Glennan. Years later he would remember Glennan’s response: “Get the hell on with the program.”

Back at Langley, Gilruth set about putting together the organization he named the Space Task Group to make NASA’s man-in-orbit goal a reality. He later recalled the early months of Project Mercury as “the most intensive and dedicated work by a group of people that I have ever experienced.” Beginning with just 45 people, the Space Task Group grew within a couple of years to more than 500. Despite his superb command of the project’s details—Space Task Group member George Low said his boss “knew every nut and bolt” in the Mercury spacecraft—Gilruth did not impose his own ideas on his team.

Dottie Lee, the only female engineer in the group, who recalled her boss as “this beautiful, brilliant man,” witnessed Gilruth in action. “I worked in an office with perhaps seven men, and I’m in my little corner,” Lee recalled in 1999. “[Gilruth] stops at the door, and I can see him. The men are discussing something, trying to solve a problem, and he listens. Then he asks a question, which turned their thinking around and headed them down the right path. And he turned around, with a smile on his face, and walked out…. He didn’t tell them how to do it; he just asked a question…. And I thought, ‘Why can’t everyone be like this man?’ ”

For the seven young pilots chosen as the Original 7 astronauts, Gilruth was more than a boss. Wally Schirra recalled that he was “like a father to us.” Certainly he worried like a father, especially since it was his decision which astronaut would fly each Mercury mission. “I know he died a thousand deaths every time one of those things launched,” Chris Kraft said a few years ago. “But you couldn’t tell it.”

Such anxieties notwithstanding, Gilruth would later profess to have been optimistic from the beginning that Mercury would succeed, since the basic engineering questions had been solved by the time the project began. Looking farther ahead, he wondered whether the space program would continue after Mercury ended. The question evaporated after Alan Shepard became the first American in space on May 5, 1961 (three weeks after Yuri Gagarin became the first human in space). In the weeks that followed, Gilruth saw the impact of Shepard’s flight on John Kennedy: Very soon the president was asking him if NASA could put humans on the moon during the 1960s. Gilruth’s answer: “I didn’t know that we couldn’t do it.”

But when he heard Kennedy stand up before Congress and challenge the nation to land a man on the moon by decade’s end, Gilruth later admitted, “Frankly, I was aghast…. I wasn’t at all sure it could be done.” He even sought advice from his old boss, Langley director Floyd Thompson, who advised making sure the lunar effort was carried out in a manner that would give his team the experience they needed along the way. To that end, Gilruth pushed hard for a program to fill the vast knowledge gap between Mercury and Apollo. “In trying to figure out what we’d have to do in order to do such an ambitious mission, it was obvious to me you wouldn’t just design a lunar vehicle and go directly to the moon,” he said later. “We had to get experience, so we tried to think of something we could do that would bridge the gap between the Mercury program and the Apollo.”

“There is no question that without Bob Gilruth, there would not have been a Mercury, a Gemini, or an Apollo program,” said George Low, a powerful manager in the Apollo program, in a 1969 interview. “Gemini is perhaps the best example. Without Bob to push it in NASA management circles—to insist that we needed to learn how to fly in space in applications more sophisticated than Mercury before attempting to land on the moon—we wouldn’t have had a Gemini.”

By the time NASA formally approved Gemini in late 1961, Gilruth had his hands full getting ready for John Glenn’s orbital mission. Complicating matters, NASA had decided that the Space Task Group would move from Langley to Houston, where they would become the nucleus of the new Manned Spacecraft Center (in 1964 the MSC’s Florida employees transferred to the Kennedy Space Center). Gilruth now had to oversee the design and construction of the facility (“There was nothing there but a field with some cows on it,” he remembered) and hire a vast number of engineers, managers, and staff—all while getting Gemini flying and moving the massive Apollo effort forward.

His only relaxation from the pressure was his lifelong love: sailing. A few years after arriving at Langley, Gilruth and his wife Jean, herself an aeronautical engineer and pilot, had designed and built a hydrofoil sailboat. In Houston, the house they built on a bayou had a 50-foot-long workshop where their newest creation—they called it A.M. for “After Moon”—soon began taking shape. “That was my golf game,” Gilruth said. “If I only had an hour, I could go out there and work on that boat.”

But those respites were few and far between as Gilruth led a workforce of nearly 5,000 people toward Kennedy’s lunar landing. Gemini and Apollo flight director Glynn Lunney, one of a number of 20-somethings who began working in mission control in the early 1960s, says they were all “in awe” of the responsibilities they were given. “I think that’s what motivated the entire group. We felt trusted. And that started with Dr. Gilruth.”

If Gilruth had a weakness, it seems to have been an aversion to confrontation. “He was not very aggressive in protecting his fanny or protecting the Manned Spacecraft Center,” Chris Kraft told a NASA historian in 2008. That may help explain the situation that developed after George Mueller, head of NASA’s Office of Manned Space Flight, sent a brilliant but arrogant engineer named Joe Shea to Houston in 1963 to run the development of the Apollo spacecraft. As Gilruth’s deputy George Low recounted, Shea kept Gilruth at arm’s length, diminishing his influence on the moon program. “In effect,” Low said in 1969, “Mueller’s direct dealings with Shea, and Shea’s direct responses, cut Gilruth and me completely out of all Apollo decisions.” Shortly after the January 1967 fire that killed the Apollo 1 crew on the launch pad, Shea’s tenure ended.

For Gilruth, the fire was “the saddest day I have ever had.” He added, “I don’t think that we’ll ever fully get over the heaviness of heart that that brought.” Wally Schirra remembered that when he took Gilruth out in his sailboat weeks after the fire, “Bob was at the tiller and he just fell asleep. Maybe it was the first chance he’d had to relax, to realize he had to push ahead and forget the tragedy.”

After the fire, Low took over for Shea, leading the redesign of the Apollo spacecraft. “In every major decision I make,” Low told a NASA historian, “I ask myself, ‘Is that the way Bob would make the decision?’ ”

But Gilruth’s thinking wasn’t always in sync with his colleagues. After the first couple of Apollo landings, Gilruth lost his appetite for the risks of lunar voyages, where there was always the chance of leaving astronauts stranded on the moon or in lunar orbit. “There were some people who wanted to keep on flying those things, you know, a lot more of them,” Gilruth said in 1987. “I said ‘Not me, you get another boy…. I’m not going to stay around for it if you’re going to keep doing it.’ ”

Had Gilruth lost his nerve? Actually, his attitude was consistent with the philosophy of spaceflight he’d had all along, which he described in 1975: “You don’t take any risks in this business that you don’t have to take.” He’d been willing to do what was necessary to achieve Kennedy’s objective: landing astronauts on the moon to demonstrate U.S. preeminence in space. Once that goal had been met, in Gilruth’s mind, it was time for NASA to move closer to home, with a space station in Earth orbit.

Gilruth stepped down from his post as director of the Manned Spacecraft Center in early 1972, not because the Apollo missions were still flying but because his wife was very ill (she died later that year). In December 1973, he retired from the agency, but served occasionally as a NASA consultant.

Gilruth had thought about writing a book “about how much fun it is to be an engineer,” to inspire young people to enter the field. “I’ve had an awful lot of fun in my career,” he said in 1972, “doing engineering from hydrofoil boats to moon landing vehicles to airplanes. And now I’ve got an ocean sailer that I’m about ready to launch.” Gilruth and his first wife had talked about sailing around the world, but in the end, he and his second wife, Jo, sailed the 52-foot, multi-hull boat, Outrigger, to Virginia, where Gilruth spent the last decades of his life. He died in 2000, at the age of 86, after suffering for a long period with Alzheimer’s. In addition to his second wife, he was survived by a daughter and a stepson.

“In my mind, he’s the father of manned spaceflight,” Kraft told me in 1989, “and he never gets the credit for it. He was the guy with the right thoughts in his mind, with the right kind of leadership, and had sense enough to get the right kind of people to do the right kind of job, and you can’t say anything better about a man than that.” Unless it’s to say that America wouldn’t have reached the moon without him.

Spring Dreaming

Just when I thought winter was over the temperatures dropped and the snow returned. Not a lot of snow mind you, but still. . .it's not spring yet, Toto.

I want to thank all of you for the lovely comments you left on my Angie's List Weekly Feature post. I appreciate being able to share a special event like that with all my friends, whether they leave a comment or not. It surely gives me a big boost, though, to hear from you. You really are The Best.

I also want to thank Connie of Crafty Home Cottage for the gift she recently sent to me.

Aren't these kitchen towels sweet? Connie made these for me as a "housewarming" present.

Look at the cute gift tag, which I suspect is one of her own designs.

I have no idea what she means because the towels are perfect!

I think most everyone knows Connie. She's a very popular blogger and extremely creative. I'm honored to call her my friend. (We've met in person, you know.) Just in case you've somehow missed her wonderful blog here's the link to Crafty Home Cottage.

(Connie, my friend, thank you so much. I love the towels.)

Before this latest cold snap I managed to get some work done in my flower beds. My 91 year-old friend Barbara dug up some of her blooming crocuses and gave them to me. I planted them in my perennial bed.

Unfortunately, a critter (probably a deer) made a meal out of half of them and this is all that's left.

I've been covering these at night in an effort to save them, and now I'm thinking I'd like to make some garden cloches like this one for keeping munchers at bay.

Wouldn't this be a charming addition to a cottage garden, just for those plants that need protection? I love this.

I admire all the spring and Easter decorating I've seen on other blogs the past few weeks, especially all the bunnies and eggs. I think I may have mentioned that I don't do a lot of holiday decorating, aside from Thanksgiving and Christmas. I did, however, find a sweet bunny at the thrift store last week for $1, so I brought him home.

He's getting a makeover now.

I'm not sure how I'll finish him off, but once he's ready I'll plant a little flower in him and he can hang out with me all spring and summer.

Do you ever look at something in your home and suddenly get a hairbrained idea to change it up a bit? That's what happened to me while I was up to my elbows in dishwater, staring at the Christmas Cactus in the garden window. The wintry green plaid fabric around its pot needed to go.

Christmas 2015

So I dried my hands and looked through the fabric scraps stash until I found an old round tablecloth with a ruffle. I snipped off some of the ruffle and wrapped it around the pot with a twine bow. Just a little cottagey fun that brought some cheer to my kitchen.

To tell you the truth, I think it looks like the plant is wearing a strapless sundress. Hah! I'll probably trade it for something with a little more class. Did I hear the word "decoupage"? Why yes, I believe I did.

And finally, I bid you a joyful St. Patrick's Day.

  1. Loved this post, Nancy. Isn't it wonderful to watch Spring arrive.I love the cloche idea. Deb

  2. Oh what a sweet bunny!! Those towels are lovely, too! SO sweet of Connie!

  3. Deer love to snack on tulips, too. The cloche idea is very clever.

    Love the towels and the gift tag.

  4. I with you--hurry up Spring! :-) I love the sweet towels and that cute little bunny makeover. The garden cloche idea is brilliant! I think I may have to make a few to keep the (not-so-cute-when-they-eat-my-plants) bunnies at bay in my backyard.

    Happy St. Patrick's Day!

  5. Hi Nancy, Your flower pot cover is adorable. I love it when a simple little quick fix turns out so pretty. I have some chicken wire stashed somewhere around here and I just might have to copy that garden cloches . . . I love that idea. Thank you for the link to my blog; I am delighted that you like the towels. Your lovely garden window was my inspiration.
    Have a wonderful weekend.
    Connie :)

  6. Nancy,
    Very sweet towels, very sweet gifting. I love crocuses, especially the Purple ones, darn critter/deer. I have problems with squirrels - I plant and they dig up the fresh dirt flinging, stomping and planting nuts!!!
    So I have started to top my planters with pea gravel. The news is threatening us with a bit of snow, mid 80's last week to snow??? I was planning to buy Purple pansies tomorrow ... Stupid spring snowstorm.
    Loving your bunny redo - seriously a buck? Cute steal oh I meant find!
    Hurry Spring your fans are waiting for you.

  7. We have the opposite problem in Central Florida, Summer arrived last weekend. Weatherman says back in the 70s by Sunday. I hope he is correct since I haven;t weeded and mulched my little flower bed yet. That bunny is so cute. I liked him when he was terracotta but painted white ge is off the charts. Have a blessed weekend. Debbie

  8. I feel so bad about your crocus, Nancy. Have you ever checked out You can pick a category like gardening, among others, and ask a question. Then all sorts of 'real' people weigh in. I received a lot of advice on opossum living under my shed. Very enlightening. So, you may find some great advice on those beautiful but pesky deer!

    I think your idea for wrapping your containers with fabric is genius. Can I steal this???! :)

  9. Dearest Nancy, good morning to ya!

    Like you, we have had a taste of early spring but reality has set back in! On my way home last night, it was snowing - lightly, but it was SNOWING, like the way it should in March in Minnesota! But we are all waiting and suffering a bit from Spring Fever!!!!!!!

    What a kind gesture from Connie, and I love her tag! teeehheheeeeeee

    Your transformed bunny pot is special; white paint does WONDERS on so many objects and makes them fresh and new for spring.

    Wishing you a wonderful day of dreaming and planning my friend! Anita

  10. What a sweet gift from Connie! That wire cloche is wonderful....looks hand made? I want to copy it! Your makeover bunny is too cute and the plant does look like she has a sundress on....very cute! Oh, that thatched cottage! Can we get some interior shots so we can dream?? Have a wonderful weekend!

  11. Sweet post . . .
    Just like you!
    Right you are about the weather . . .
    We were nice and toasty warm and now we are frigidly cold . . .
    And my one springtime outdoor door entrance piece I created
    was damaged in the high winds this week.
    I plan on some "doctoring up" today . . .
    Love your gifts . . . sad about the critters eating your crocus . . .
    Cute idea for prevention though . . .
    Strapless dress is a hoot and I look forward to seeing the bunny redo!
    Loved your Happy St. Patrick's Day quote and thatched cottage picture . . .
    Happy Days my friend!

  12. It looks like spring to me! We are in the midst of a winter wonderland.....again. We got our first spring snowstorm on Tuesday and I hope it's the last! I love the idea of little chicken wire cloches to protect your tasty flowers from the deer!

  13. Awwww what a cute little makeover, for your plant.

    And I think the strapless sun dress is quite fetching. :-))))

    Gentle Spring hugs,

  14. I love the makeover with your Christmas Cactus... but I do like decoupage too... whatever you decide to do, it will be lovely. I'm sorry to hear that the deer got your beautiful flowers, and I think your chicken wire might work! I may need to keep that in mind for the deer we have here :)

  15. I love the towels Connie has sent to you, my dearest Nancy, I went to visit her blog and she really makes so many works of art !
    I'm sorry for your so wonderful crocuses, but for sure their bulbs go on living, and will flower next Spring, you'll see !

    With much gratitude I wish you a most wonderful weekend ever,
    sending blessings of joy to you

  16. The gifted towels are very pretty! Indeed a useful gift. Hope your St.Paddy's Day has been great! Pretty re-do with the Christmas cactus. The thatched cottage is so cute I love when I see them in movies. It is the only way to see those for there are none like that around here. :) Hugs from North Dakota!

  17. The towels are a sweet gift - and the garden cloches are very clever - I need them for my tulips to seep the deer at bay!!

  18. What a fun post, Nancy. I just love Connie, too. She is the sweetest gal. Nothing blooming here yet-not until May sometime. We have snow coming tonight as a matter of fact. UGH. Happy Spring in your sweet new home. xo Diana

  19. What beautiful gifts to get from a great blogger like Connie. I like reading her blog too. You are ready for spring. We are going to have alittle snow tomorrow,but next week it will be in the 70s.

  20. What lovely fun, Nancy! I had to laugh about the strapless sundress. :)

    Spring has been springing here, too. Daffodil greens and tulip leaves are poking up. The garlic I planted last fall is growing, too. Saw a flower on the vinca vine beneath the birch tree in the back and found remnants of lettuce, carrots and onions from last year starting up again. Lots of cleanup work to do and now we've got a covering of snow, but knowing that gardening season is on its way makes everything better!

    Hope you're enjoying the change of seasons, too!

  21. I can't wait for spring to really settle. I love the idea of the wire cloches to keep animals away.

Your comments bring me joy! Thanks for stopping by.

For someone who loves to eat, I often have very little in my refrigerator. At last check there was a half carton of eggs, a few styrofoam boxes of leftovers, some plain Greek yogurt, and more things than I care to admit that are way past their prime. It’s times like this that I rely on my pantry for a quick and easy meal that doesn’t require a trip to the market. There’s always a consistent supply of canned tomatoes and dry pasta in my cupboard. A few heads of garlic are also always on hand, which store well in the dark with the previous two ingredients. A few snips of basil from the garden and you have the makings of spaghetti marinara. Bottled Kalamata olives and tinned artichokes make great additions as well, when you desire a little more textural and flavor contrast.

It’s really quite simple. Start the water boiling for the pasta. You can basically have the tomato sauce done by the time the water boils and the noodles are cooked. Fifteen minutes tops. About the same time it takes me to drive to in-n-out, wait in the drive thru, and drive home. And it’s healthier to boot as well.

spaghetti marinara

good canned tomatoes makes all the difference. try a few different kinds from your local market and go with the ones with plump, intact fruit and juice that is nice and thick. imported Italian San Marzano tomatoes are usually expensive but great for a splurge.

  • 1 28 oz. can whole plum tomatoes
  • 2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon red chili flakes
  • 1/4 cup white wine
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • basil leaves
  • Parmigiano Reggiano or Grana Padano
  • 1/2 lb. dry spaghetti
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • pinch of sugar (optional)

Bring a pot of water to a boil. Meanwhile, add olive oil, garlic, oregano, and red chili flakes to a saucepan and warm over medium heat, around 2-3 minutes or until garlic just begins to sizzle. Crush tomatoes with hands or chop roughly with knife. Add tomatoes to saucepan. Add salt and freshly ground pepper to taste (adjust salt depending on the salt content in the canned tomatoes; if the tomatoes are salted, you will need little to no additional salt). Stir in white wine and heat for 3-5 minutes to cook off the alcohol. Add remaining juice from tomatoes to desired consistency (just enough so tomatoes aren’t dry and are a bit saucy). Taste sauce and if it’s quite tart, add a small pinch of sugar to balance out the acidity. Stir in basil leaves and reduce heat to low.

Cook pasta in boiling water for 8-10 minutes or until al dente. Drain and return noodles to pot. Add sauce to pasta and toss to coat. Add grated cheese, more ground pepper and serve.

Amazon Prime & Showrooming: Can Mobile Apps Save Retailers?

Amazon winning the 'Retailer of the Year' award at the National Retail Federation convention at New York this week would not surprise any consumers, though it's an interesting decision by NRF mostly comprising brick-and-mortar retailers. Are they surrendering to Amazon or have they figured out a way to stop the juggernaut?

Store Associates' iPad that Knows Everything About You: Cool or Creepy?

As innovative consumer mobile apps continue to redefine the retail industry, will iPad-wielding associates be the next wave?

I asked myself this question at Nordstrom at Stanford Shopping Center a couple of weeks ago during their anniversary sale event. Unlike many other stores that seem to advertise a sale almost every weekend, Nordstrom has only one or two annual sale events with real discounts even on high-end brands. Consumers have noticed and the place was buzzing with activity.

We did manage to find a helpful associate, who was patient enough to hunt down a couple of right sized shirts. Customer service continues to be a differentiator in retail and Nordstrom clearly gets that!

Once I was ready to buy, the associate just pulled out an iPod Touch. He scanned the item and used the card swiping device to accept payment. It was not the ubiquitous Square dongle that every cab driver seems to have these days, but did the job. He also offered to email me the receipt - just like an Apple store.

I appreciated the quick check-out process, but felt the store probably could have gone one step further. For instance, the associate could have recognized me and greeted me based on the Nordstrom debit card I had used. He could have even suggested other items based on the insights from my profile & purchase history - taking the digitization to the next level - from 'Appleization to Amazonization'!

Of course, retailers have to navigate the privacy challenges of trying to track every shopper. However, mobile Point of Sale - mPOS - extended by 'clienteling' apps can help provide a personalized shopping experience for every shopper. Today, it's reserved for the heavy spender 'whales' at high-end luxury stores, where associates still use their secret 'Black Book' to strengthen customer relationships.

If used correctly, associate mobile apps could add a layer of personal touch to in-store customer service. And we all know retailers need every help they can get to fight Amazon!

The US civil rights leader on Monday urged both sides to tone down their "hostile rhetoric" and said US President George Bush should strongly condemn recent remarks by conservative religious broadcaster Pat Robertson calling for Chavez's assassination.

Jackson said good relations are in both countries' interests since Venezuela is a top supplier of US oil.

"I hope that we've done something to facilitate a detente on threatening rhetoric," Jackson said.

"We're not going to have an oil war."

Cheap oil

Chavez offered the US cheap heating oil for poor communities and said he was willing to cooperate with Washington in anti-drug efforts, a programme he recently suspended saying US drug agents were involved in spying.

Chavez (L), close ally of Castro,
often clashes with Washington

"In spite of the differences and the tense relations that exist, we're always willing to continue working together with Mr Bush's government in the fight against drugs," Chavez said, adding that it "cannot be a mask to carry out spying or violate a country's sovereignty".

Chavez, a close ally of Cuba's Fidel Castro who has clashed repeatedly with Washington, said his government would tap into its Citgo Petroleum Corporation refineries in the US to sell heating oil directly to poor communities, avoiding middle men to bring down costs.

Details of the plan have yet to be worked out, but Oil Minister Rafael Ramirez said officials hope to begin supplying heating oil this winter.

Jackson praised the plan.

Extradition call

Chavez also said Venezuela would "exercise its rights" in response to Robertson's remarks calling for his assassination. He has said his government could ask the US to extradite Robertson.

"We must make it clear that talk of isolating Venezuela, talk of assassinating its leader, this is unacceptable, and it must be denounced roundly by our president"
Jesse Jackson,
civil rights activist

State Department spokesman Sean McCormack said on Monday that Venezuela does not appear to have a sound legal basis for seeking Robertson's extradition.

Robertson called for Chavez's assassination on his TV show The 700 Club a week ago, saying the United States should "take him out" because Chavez was a threat.

Robertson, founder of the Christian Coalition of America and a supporter of Bush's re-election bid, later apologised.

"We must make it clear that talk of isolating Venezuela, talk of assassinating its leader, this is unacceptable, and it must be denounced roundly by our president," Jackson said shortly before meeting Chavez.

Chavez has regularly accused the US government of plotting to overthrow him and has said it backed a 2002 coup which briefly deposed him.

US relations

US officials have strongly denied the charge, even as they have expressed concern about Chavez's ties with Castro and what opponents call his authoritarian tendencies.

Despite tensions, the US remains
the top buyer of Venezuelan oil

"We never lose hope that we'll regain a good tone with Mr Bush's government," said Chavez, who offered Venezuelan aid in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.

Despite the tensions, the United States remains the top buyer of Venezuelan oil.

Jackson said Robertson's "friendship" with the Bush's administration is apparent, and that his comments came in response to repeated US suggestions that Chavez posed a threat to the region.

McCormack said there are "certainly difficulties" but that the two countries continue diplomatic talks.

Visas suspension

Jackson, who said it was his first visit to Venezuela, said he expressed concern to Chavez about a move to temporarily suspend visas for foreign missionaries in Venezuela.

The Interior Ministry said on Monday that one-year visas for missionaries seeking to enter the country had been suspended for at least 15 days.

It said the measure was aimed at "achieving improved control" and was not specifically aimed at Americans.

Chavez did not comment on the measure but said some of his enemies have directed calls for his assassination at "religious fanatics".

During his visit, Jackson said he also held talks with religious and opposition leaders.

iWeb SEO Tool updates to version 1.8

4 Comments Freebies, SEO for iWeb

Many of my regular readers will know I am a keen supporter of the FREE iWeb SEO Tool from Rage Software and a few weeks ago I received an e-mail from Paul at Rage letting me know that they had updated their handy little tool.

There isn’t a great deal of new changes in the application itself, however the updates they have made are ‘spot on’. Why not download yourself a copy and take a look.

If you have never used the iWeb SEO Tool before it can used used for inserting and amending all manner of codes within your iWeb site in order to help you get further up the search engine ladder.

All well and good, but whilst it does that, wouldn’t it be a good idea if it let you change other bits of code too? To use the tool you have to either publish your site to a folder or to MobileMe and then open it up to make all your SEO changes.

Where one of the new updates comes into it’s own now is in its ability to allow you to add other bits of code into the ‘head’ section of  a page, just like a HTML editor.

How is that a good idea? Okay, imagine you want to add a small javascript to your site, but you want to ‘SEO’ it too. Before this update you had to make all your SEO changes first, save the additions, close down the SEO tool then open the site again in a HTML editor to make further changes.

Not anymore! You can do it all with iWeb SEO Tool. And what’s more, you can save all of the changes you make to your site so that the next time you make any changes within iWeb adding the further changes such as scripts can all be re-applied at the touch of a button.

Another update to the SEO Tool is the ability to save the site back to it’s own folder so that you can use a third-party FTP application rather than the built in one. I know that the tool did have a few problems with this (although I never had any) so this is a smart way to solve any issues you may have had uploading your site.

iWeb SEO Tool is still as easy to use as it ever was, and I do love the ability to save all of your SEO code. Okay, the first time you use it on your site may be a pain, but open it a second time and you will see what I mean.

All in all, these are 2 very welcome updates to this excellent bit of iWeb kit and I highly recommend it to all iWeb users.

  2. Reply Mark says:

    WOW! That is a huge update for me I’m constantly having to use a separate html editor once I upload my site. Going to download load and update now. Thanks

  3. Reply Rob says:

    Doesn’t seem to be downloading for me when I go ‘Install Update’. I get the loading bar, but it never does anything. Is there any other way I can update it?

  4. Reply Paul Bridson says:

    You know, everything seems great, except I can’t seem to figure out how to do the old “google analytics code insertion” action anymore. It was pretty idiot-proof before. Now, I’m reminded how much of an idiot I may be. Does it just go in the body insert area? Hmmmmmmmmmm.

    Great site, by the way. Really. You’ve done wonders for my sense of “Yes I can!” I hope it’s treating you well, since the work you’ve been putting in is plain to see!

2nd IEEE International Workshop on Engineering Semantic Agent Systems (ESAS 2007)

Venue: Surroundings of Peking University

Location: Beijing, China

Event Date/Time: Jul 24, 2007 End Date/Time: Jul 27, 2007
Paper Submission Date: Mar 20, 2007
Report as Spam

ESAS workshop series aims at garnering the synergy of both technologies by taking up

both the semantic web aspect and the agent aspect of the common research issue. Topics
of interest span a wide spectrum of both theory and practice of agent architectures, software agents, mobile agents, autonomous semantic agents, context-aware intelligent agents, agents as semantic web services, multi-agent systems, agent communities, cooperation and goal seeking through sharing policy and ontology, safety & security in systems, other QoS issues, and so on.

Additional Information

We envisage a strong undercurrent of intelligent software agents, mobile agents, and MAS running through this workshop. Side by side with the use of semantic Web technologies, there are several foci of interest: * Software Agents, Mobile Agents, and MAS: issues relating to architecture, implementation, coordination, service levels, etc. of semantic or otherwise agents. * Agent, MAS and Semantic Web Technologies: concomitant utilization of specific technologies in agent, MAS, and semantic Web implementations; semantic agent communities & applications; case studies of best-practice MAS applications; projects in the making; * Ontology for Agents and MAS: agent cooperation ontology; ontology of workflow in MAS; ontologies for distributed applications; sharing and semantic interoperability; discovery and operations on ontologies; * Platforms for agent and MAS implementation: languages, frameworks, tools, integrated development environments and software engineering practices supporting semantic or otherwise software agent & MAS architectures, coordination, trust & security mechanisms, description, discovery and composition of agent-based services. * Other subjects of relevance in software agents, mobile agents, agent-based and multi-agent systems.

Book Description

Biology of Adventitious Root Formation (Basic Life Sciences)

Charles E. Hess Department of Environmental Horticulture University of California Davis, CA 95616 Research in the biology of adventitious root formation has a special place in science. It provides an excellent forum in which to pursue fundamental research on the regulation of plant growth and development. At the same time the results of the research have been quickly applied by commercial plant propagators, agronomists, foresters and horticulturists (see the chapter by Kovar and Kuchenbuch, by Ritchie, and by Davies and coworkers in this volume). In an era when there is great interest in speeding technology transfer, the experiences gained in research in adventitious root formation may provide useful examples for other areas of science. Interaction between the fundamental and the applied have been and continue to be facilitated by the establishment, in 1951, of the Plant Propagators' Society, which has evolved into the International Plant Propagators' Society, with active programs in six regions around the world. It is a unique organization which brings together researchers in universities, botanical gardens and arboreta, and commercial plant propagators. In this synergistic environment new knowledge is rapidly transferred and new ideas for fundamental research evolve from the presentations and discussions by experienced plant propagators. In the past 50 years, based on research related to the biology of adventitious root formation, advances in plant propagation have been made on two major fronts.

Book Description

Ecological Studies in the Middle Reach of Chesapeake Bay: Calvert Cliffs, Maryland (Lecture Notes on Coastal and Estuarine Studies)

The decision to build a nuclear power plant at Calvert Cliffs on the western shore of the Chesapeake Bay in southern Maryland resulted in a Iandmark legal decision (Calvert Cliffs Coordinating Committee vs Atomic Energy Commission) and began one ofthe mostintensive long-term studies ever carried out in an American estuarine system. In the pages that follow we describe the major results and findings from studies conducted over more than a decade by scientists from The Academy of Natural Seiences of Philadelphia (ANSP). These studies were designed to assess the potential effects that operation ofthe Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant (CCNPP) might have on the mid-portion of Chesapeake Bay. The approach taken was to study major biotic components of the system over an area and a time period sufficient to allow comparison of conditions between preoperational and operational periods within a sampling locality, and comparisons of conditions at reference sites with those at impact sites afterplant operations began. Elementschosen for detailed study included: species composition and production rates of major primary producers; water chemistry; zooplankton, benthos and finfish abundance and species composition; the abundance and growth rates of commercially important shellfish (clams, oysters and blue crabs); and the colonization sequences of invertebrates on artificial substrates.

Book Description

Orthodox Prayer Life: The Interior Way

Saints who experience the power of prayer say it gives them wings to fly: wings of elation from being in proximity with Jesus Christ and relief from the burden of a sinful conscience. Once engulfed in the grace of the Holy Spirit, the person in prayer experiences death to sin, resurrection in the Spirit, and mystical ascension to the Father. The visible touches the Invisible, and joy wells up in the human heart. This volume evolved experientially: the fruit of fifty-five years of solitude by a contemporary desert monk besieged by prayer. Father Matta's prayer life initially was formed under the direction of the sayings of the Russian Fathers, and later expanded under the direction of other Fathers, both Eastern and Western. He spent whole nights in prayer, reciting one or two passages from these luminaries and begging these saints to enlighten his understanding. Father Matta discloses: Whenever physical hunger turned cruel against me, I found my gratification in prayer. Whenever the biting cold of winter was unkind to me, I found my warmth in prayer. Whenever people were harsh to me (and their harshness was severe indeed) I found my comfort in prayer. In short, prayer became my food and my drink, my outfit and my armor, whether by night or by day.

The Allmand Law Firm, PLLC Difference

Unlike most bankruptcy firms in the Dallas / Fort-Worth area, Allmand Law Firm, PLLC spends the time to understand the complete financial picture for every one of our clients. We provide resources, tools and advice to address the unique needs of North Texans.

Filing Bankruptcy When You Become Employed Again

Posted By Allmand Law Firm, PLLC || 25-Feb-2014

images (11)

There are debtors who feel filing bankruptcy may not be necessary when they are unemployed. But as time goes by, you have been unable to repay debt obligations or you have no assets for creditors to seize. When you gain employment again you may start thinking about your finances with intentions of getting back on track. This includes protecting assets such as income you'll start earning at your new job. Just because you recently started working doesn't mean creditors won't pursue you for payment.

Studies have shown that people who become newly employed are more likely to file for protection. Many who are unemployed may not have the urgency if they don't have assets to protect or income creditors can tap into. Bankruptcy offers protection to debtors. You can file either chapter depending on qualifications. Chapter 7 bankruptcy can eliminate or discharge unsecured debt obligations such as medical bills and credit card debt. Chapter 13 bankruptcy is a structured repayment plan approved by the court. Payments are made based on income ability with plans lasting on average 3 to 5 years.

Both chapters allow debtors to keep assets and protect them from creditors. Chapter 13 is ideal for debtors wanting to catch up on mortgage payments while preventing foreclosure. You can also file Chapter 13 to help you make missed payments on your vehicle. The automatic stay is a legal junction that protects debtors from ongoing collection attempts from creditors. This means you can prevent wage garnishment, repossession, and foreclosure when you act in a timely manner. Discuss your situation with an experienced bankruptcy attorney.

I'm figuratively dying, man. And not even in a friggin' cerebral, existential crisis kind of way. I'm talking about how it's hot as shit, and I want to cry and/or never, ever leave my house because it's over 100 degrees outside. Which is an INSANE temperature to expect a human to exist in normally. (RIP, polar ice caps.)

In order to ease my First World pains, I've done some beauty soul-searching to find products that a) make me feel better and b) help me to semi-live a life that seems like it's happening on a postapocalyptic earth. Even if it doesn't yet feel like the ninth ring of Hell where you're living, ANTI-WINTER IS COMING, so you'd better step to planning.

Alt White Mani

My love for a fresh-to-death white polish job is right up there (almost) with my fondness for wine-drinking times. But after a while, I get a little bored with the same ol' thang and want to find a way to mix it up when it comes to that bright white mani. Don't worry your pretty little head, because I've found a couple of options to update this whole deal.

My first alternative (above) was sampled to me by the indie polish brand Seven and Parker. The shade is called Mr. White, and it's a frosty, opaque white with a touch of silver from the brand's upcoming Reservoir collection. It's not available just yet, but S&P's Girl in Pale Pink Coat is a very pale pink shimmery polish that has a similar feel. Or just keep an eye out on the Seven and Parker website for Mr. White to become available. This is the perfect polish for a cool-tone white option, and I can't get enough.

If warm tones are more your thing, my girls at Floss Gloss sent me some bomb white substitutes. Biscuits is an almost buttery cream color, while Selena Corpus Crystalina is a sheer white glitter that's great to top off whatever polish you're currently feeling. Or you can layer them together to create a sugary, all-white-everything buttered-biscuit dream. It's your world, baby.

Skindinavia: The Makeup Primer Spray

I begged Skindinavia to send me some of their brand-new Primer Spray ($35) because I pretty much feel the need to use a primer anytime I wear foundation, but with this hot-ass existence currently happening, the thought of slathering another layer of something on my face is less than mf-ing appealing. This formula is a superlightweight spray, so it's perfect for the summertimes. It made my foundation stay put even after going to the gym because, YES, I'm one of THOSE who wears makeup to workout. I know, I'm the worst.

I actually took a picture of my hand using the primer with foundation, then without, but my embarrassment over my extremely poor hand-selfie-ing skills prevented me from posting it. I do have some standards, believe it or not. But the with-primer hand foundation was much, much smoother than the sans-primer hand. Just trust me on this one.

Tarte: Not So Slick Blotting Papers

Reason number 309,485,039 that crazy hot weather can suck it? It gets my oil glands kickin' into overdrive. And although I will use those rubbery drugstore blotting papers (as well as toilet paper, receipts, and the back of my hand) in a pinch, I've always been a little bothered by what exactly those little homies are made from. Bike tires? Old scrunchie elastics?

I didn't worry about that at all when Tarte sent me these Tarte Not So Slick blotting papers($10) to try. They're naturally derived but still sop up oil better than the longest Target receipt. CANNOT LIVE WITHOUT.

Powerful Drugstore Lips

Spring and summer make me want to wear the hell out of a heavy-hitting lipstick. And because I like a variety to spice up my mouth area, it's even better if that 'stick is superaffordable. I've accumulated a pretty boss arsenal of lovely lipsticks, but these two just keep popping up on my lips. As you can see, these mofos are well-loved/used and abused.

I've already shared my deep affections for NYX Matte Lipstick in "Indie Flick" ($6), but it bears repeating. That's how into this lipstick I am. A new(ish) love for me is the even lower-priced Wet n Wild MegaLast Lip Color in Sugar Plum Fairy ($1.89 at Walgreens). You literally don't get more affordable for a bangin' lipstick than that. What makes these an even better deal? They both are highly pigmented and last all the live-long day. Top that!

Brush on Block

I almost didn't include this little guy in this roundup, but I use it a ton, so it just felt necessary. But full disclosure on this one: Someone sent this to me FOREVER ago to try, and I just now started using it. When I went to get all the deets on it today, I noticed that what I've been using expired a year ago (don't care, 10/10 will still use), and also the company and packaging seem to be completely different. Either way, I really think that this is a great product, so I'll tell you all of the current info.

Brush on Block($30) is an SPF 30 mineral powder sunscreen with a retractable brush protector thingy on it, which makes it really portable and easy to use and store. The powder actually comes through the makeup brush, so you just brush it all over your face before you go outside. I like to walk to a coffee shop that's about half a mile from my house a few mornings a week, and this is so easy to brush on in the morning without worrying about rubbing on a sticky-ass SPF lotion. It really meets my lazy, vampiric skin needs quite nicely.

It does have a touch of color to the powder, so I don't know if it would blend well with deeper skin tones or if it's pretty translucent on everyone. (The website says it's translucent.) One bonus for this stuff is that you can buy refills for $16, so you aren't buying the whole damn brush thing every time. Bottom line: This stuff is a total oldie-face preventative that I need in my life.

That's it. I've spilled every summer secret I have now. So I guess I'll meet you guys at the crossroads. Or tomorrow-ish. Whatever.

If you need me, I'll be posted up in Alaska, like woah. But keep my sweaty-ass company by telling me all about your favorite summery products in the comments.
