There are loads of people rooting for the new Jennifer Aniston movie Wanderlust, debuting in theaters nationwide today. I'm one of them. How could I not be? I always want good for my girl Jen. With Paul Rudd and her handsome real-life boyfriend Justin Theroux by her side on the big screen, it's got to be a totally solid watch, right?
Well, let's hope so. Directed by David Wain, Wanderlust follows Rudd and Aniston, a stressed out Manhattan couple, as they move to Atlanta and attempt to embrace a different lifestyle. It sounds funny (sort of), but what do the critics think? Check out the Wanderlust reviews, here:
Alynda Wheat, People Magazine:
Insipid, tedious, and lacking in common sense, Wanderlust has nothing to offer a discerning viewer. But hey, Jennifer Aniston got a boyfriend from this ridiculous enterprise, so that's something positive right?
Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News:
There was so much potential in this project, from concept to cast. Alas, it seems Aniston still hasn't found the movie that will finally elevate her professional accomplishments over her personal ones.
Christy Lemire, Associated Press:
Your expectations are crucial here. If you're looking for structure, cohesion, and narrative drive, you'll be frustrated and maybe even a little bored. If you can be as open-minded as the drugged-up denizens of Elysium, then it's all good, brother.
Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly:
It's a pleasure to see Aniston thrive in her comedy zone, secure in the knowledge that for every inch of propriety she's willing to cede, Paul Rudd is ready to get 10 times as crazy for a grateful nation.
More from The Stir: 'Wanderlust' Might Actually Be a Jennifer Aniston Movie Worth Seeing (VIDEO)
Seems like the critics are iffy on this one. Alynda has a point. I've been highly entertained by this whole Aniston/Theroux romance the last few months. So hey -- if the movie bombs, at least I have it to thank for my Aniston gossip fix! Check out the Wanderlust trailer, here:
Are you planning on seeing Wanderlust?

Okay, maybe it was just a game on FSN pay-per-view, but no one in the country celebrated like Nebraska did Saturday night.
From the 1962 team that led the Huskers onto the field to the last burst of fireworks that told a Memorial Stadium record crowd of 86,304 it was time to go home, Nebraska played like a team on a mission, giving its fans the opportunity to behave playfully and uninhibitedly.
Where else but Nebraska would 75,000 fans stay in their seats after a 55-0 game and cheer loudly for plays and players over the last half century?
Where else but Nebraska would a coach who was fired six years earlier get a rousing response from a record crowd when he wasn't even in the stadium?
Where else but Nebraska would someone who got passed over as the Huskers' head coach 21 months earlier get a similar ovation when he wasn't in the stadium either?
Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young must have had Memorial Stadium in mind when they sang the lyrics that are still ringing in the ears of everyone fortunate enough to have a ticket to this classy, historic, memorable frolic that became an NCAA record 300th consecutive sellout crowd.
Our house is a very, very, very fine house
With two cats in the yard
Life used to be hard
Now everything is easy
'Cause of you
And you, Tom Osborne, for making this game a classic.
And you, Bo Pelini, for delivering on your promise that the Huskers would play with passion one week after suffering a loss that crushed you more than any other game you experienced as a player or a coach.
And you, Frank Solich, for responding to a HuskerVision request to get your groove back in a state that still loves you.
And you, Turner Gill, for responding to the same request because you must love this state every bit as much as it loves you.
And you, Barry Switzer, who yearns for the Nebraska-Oklahoma rivalry to return to what it once was, even if you did beat Tom Osborne the first five times out of the gate and smashed our psyche more than anyone else . . . ever . . . in the process.
And you, Barry Alvarez, for pointing out that Joe Paterno recently told Big 10 Conference schools that Nebraska is the model for sportsmanship.
There are several good reasons why "Joe Pa" came to this conclusion. One, of course, can be traced to Nebraska fans giving a Penn State All-America wide receiver a standing ovation for making an acrobatic catch . . . in Lincoln.
Paterno Gives Nebraska Fans Ultimate Compliment
A man who now has more Division I wins than any coach in college football history, Paterno once said he's never seen fans in any sport - not just football - better than Nebraska fans.
No wonder Keith Jackson, the best announcer in college football history, told Nebraska fans to party Saturday night.
And they did.
In his usual genuine, understated style, Osborne thanked Nebraska fans for their loyalty in never ceasing to fill "Our House" while fans from other traditional powers chose to stay home when their teams went bad.
The music was a fitting finale, giving HuskerVision the chance to mix appropriate lyrics with vintage footage of games from yesteryear.
It was surreal watching 75,000 fans anticipate almost every signature play that was featured on the big screen while the 10,000 fans who left early were seemingly unaware of what they were missing.
Husker fans didn't need high-definition to remember these plays:
- Billy Sims' fumble that helped Osborne beat Switzer's top-ranked team for the first time in 1978.
- Eric Crouch's catch of a Mike Stuntz reverse pass in a 2001 Heisman-defining touchdown sprint against the No. 1 Sooners.
- Johnny Rodgers' fabled punt return against Oklahoma in the Game of the Century in 1971.
- Mike Rozier's cross-country touchdown run in a 1983 Heisman season when he ran all the way left only to bolt back all the way right. You could almost hear the fans telling the ones sitting next to them what was going to happen again a quarter-century after it happened for real.
- John Ruud's crunching tackle on the second-half kickoff in the 1978 upset of No. 1 OU. The fans ooh-ed and ahh-ed 31 years ago, and they sounded exactly the same Saturday night.
One of the last highlights shown in Saturday night's post-game trip down memory lane happened last November, and the fans who were in the stadium for Alex Henery's record 57-yard field goal used almost the same amount of lung capacity Saturday night to applaud an effort that sent Colorado players to their knees as they watched the ball take its long, winding road through the uprights.
Yes indeed, Our house is a very, very, very fine house.
Stai Sees Best Defensive Effort in 10 Years
If somehow you'd just landed in Lincoln from Mars, you'd never know that just one week earlier, Pelini's heart was breaking after a game so emotionally crushing that even former Pittsburgh Steeler Super Bowl starter Brenden Stai, 15 years removed from wearing a Husker uniform, admitted a small tear ran down his cheek when Nebraska lost, 16-15, in the last 21 seconds at Virginia Tech.
"I know how I took that loss as an ex-Nebraska player," Stai said Saturday night. "I can only imagine how the guys who actually played in that game felt."
Well, here's the good news. Stai says this is the best Nebraska defense he's seen in 10 years because of the way they're coached, the way they fly to the football and the way they swarm quarterbacks, running backs and receivers.
Therefore, Stai says, there isn't a team left on the schedule the Huskers can't beat.
That includes road games in Columbia and Lawrence and a certain home game against a team that Switzer still ranks ahead of the Nebraska program he respects and admires so much.
But we digress. Saturday was a night for celebration, not a night for prognostication.
Take it from Doug Tucker, a quarterback on the 1962 Nebraska team that won nine games for the first time since the 1920s and set the stage for the modern-day success Husker fans now enjoy.
"Tonight," he said, "truly was one of the all-time highlights of my life."
He's Done It All, but Saturday Night was Special
Tucker, you might be interested to know, spent five years as an Air Force captain, seven years as an FBI agent and then, believe it or not, 30 years as an Episcopal priest with a wife and three children.
What made Saturday night so special for Tucker and all of his former teammates?
"It's all the people who care about Nebraska so much and the love they have for the University of Nebraska and all of those who came even before us in 1962," said Tucker, who still serves some Houston-area churches even though he's retired and lives in Galveston, Texas.
"Thanks be to God for Bob Devaney and all the wonderful coaches and for Tom Osborne, a man I met when he decided to get out of pro football and come back to Nebraska to teach psychology," Tucker said. "I had him for an instructor, and he was a very good one. But I'm glad Coach Devaney convinced him to join the staff because he's a great coach, not to mention a great athletic director."
Bob Devaney and Tom Osborne.
One built our house, and the fans came, and the other - with apologies to Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young - decided to say "I'll light the fire" to keep them coming back.
Is there anything better than two Hall-of-Fame coaches who were able to work their magic in the same stadium for 36 straight years?
Please let us know how much you appreciate what they've done in the past and how you think Bo is solidifying the foundation again, using some of the same tried and true traits as Devaney and Osborne.

Voices from Husker Nation
The longevity of this football program keeps passion high with all who are a part of it, thanks to Devaney and Osborne. With constant expectations reaching the highest levels on and off the field for players, coaches, and fans, I believe college football will never again see anything like Husker pride in any other program across the country. I have always loved getting out to the stadium and cheering on the team as much as possible. I'm 29 years-old and have been going to games for the last 20 years. It's something of legend once the Tunnel Walk begins and the long awaited Husker team emerges from the hall onto the loud erupting field. I can't wait to see what 500 home game sellouts will look like in the years to come. Here's to Bo Pelini and company for beginning to bring back the highest level of passion from the crowd and Husker fans across the country. We all look forward to domination football once again. Matthew Hanson
What an awesome tribute to the Cornhuskers and the fans! I grew up on a farm near Platte Center, Neb., and listening on the radio to the Saturday Husker games was a big treat ... for "every man, woman and child." Thanks, Randy, for telling the story as only you can. Yes, it's a very, very, very fine house. Susan Kreifel, Olathe, Kansas
The Nebraska sports and fan relationship is something that is really special and unique, and it goes even deeper than the football program, although football reigns supreme. There are many intangibles that bond the coaches, players, and fans that make this great relationship what it is. It is not just about winning, but even more about attitude, tradition, honor, and the journey. It is about family, a bond and an esprit de corps that make the Nebraska relationship one that cannot be created or copied by other institutions. It comes from the heart and soul. It is like a fever with no cure. Once afflicted, the Big Red fever is in the blood, fueling the spirit. I am 56 years old and have never seen a game at Memorial Stadium because they are always sold out, but I have seen many road games and bowl games and even a Big 12 championship game. My youngest son of 28 has never even been in Nebraska or to a live game either, but he seems to have caught the Nebraska spirit, too - a spirit that reflects a team that goes about its business with passion, confidence, pride, quality and excellence that seems to be ingrained in all. We were missing this for awhile, but it clearly is running high again with Dr. Osborne and Bo. I am excited about the future again. Go Big Red. Merle Schwalen, Dallas, Texas
Thank you for a wonderful, well-written article! I have many fond memories of fall Saturday afternoons, growing up in Kearney, walking down Main Street, and hearing all the radios tuned to the Husker game, or going to the college game, where half the folks, including my Dad, had transistor radios (yes, I'm that old!), listening to the Huskers while watching the Antelopes play. Unfortunately, I have never had the opportunity to attend a game in Memorial Stadium. However, I was able to attend Football 101 in June 2008. The day ended with a Tunnel Walk onto the field, and then we sat in the stands for the closing ceremony. I cannot even begin to describe what a tremendous thrill that was for me! To not only finally get to be inside Memorial Stadium, but to get to do a Tunnel Walk, too? Oh my! That was beyond thrilling!!! Thanks Bob Devaney, Tom Osborne, Frank Solich, all the players, the band, and staff for making my fall Saturday afternoons something to look forward to. Bo Pelini, you earned my profound respect when, at the end of Football 101, you stated that you would stay on the field as long as it took to sign autographs and take pictures with the fans. It appears you are headed in the direction of the greats who have come before you, and I hope you will be here for a long time to come. GO BIG RED!!! Linda Doss, Kansas City, Missouri
From the time I was a little girl in the fifties, I began going to Husker games with my dad. I remember scraping off the back of a new pair of leather snow boots during a freezing cold game because I rubbed them on the back of the cement bleachers while shivering. Now, years later, I sit in the stands each week and have such fond memories of my father, who passed away this past March. The game and celebration last night were done so well. They were fun and had just the right mix of old and new and reminders of why we are who we are. Please pass along my congratulations on a job well done ... to both teams ... on the field and behind the scenes. Niki Widler, Plattsmouth, Nebraska
I am so thankful to Coaches Devaney and Osborne for the lasting pride, culture, spirit, and tradition they have instilled over the last 50 years! What a legacy that they built and shared with all of us who love our Huskers. And now Coach Pelini and his staff understand and appreciate all that makes Nebraska football what it is. I am very optimistic! As a saxophone player in the 70's, who watched the likes of Johnny Rodgers and David Humm perform on cold, fall days, and now as a college professor in sunny and far too hot Arizona, I am indeed very proud to be a diehard Husker fan through thick and thin. GBR! Larry Howery, Tucson, Arizona
Saturday night was special to me for many reasons. We started coming to games in 2006, so I never knew what Memorial Stadium could and should feel like. It felt like history, it felt like magic, it felt like no other place on Earth. I love what this team has done for us. Thank you so much. Daniel Mackey, Omaha, Nebraska
Thank you so much for the wonderful memories in your article. Wish I could have made the game. So many fond memories I still have of my years as a student-athlete at the U. I still remember being on the sidelines that very cold day we beat Oklahoma in '78 and also in the Orange Bowl loss as well. Loved the times of running around the old cinder track under the stadium and saying "hi" to Coach Tom. Remember the cold in the winters and the heat of the summers. Lots of folks kidding me, because I was from "back East". Boy how the years have gone by so quickly. Visited back in the spring of 2007 for a weekend. Enjoyed my visit so much, and it was great to see the changes on campus and also to notice the great traditions that have not changed at all! It made me so very proud to be a fan and an alum. God bless and GO BIG RED FOREVER. Bill Larson, '81, Horsham, Pennsylvania
That was an awesome article. I am so proud of my team! The NEBRASKA CORNHUSKERS are the best out there, and so are our loyal fans! I am from the great state of Nebraska, born in David City in 1978. To my "boys", ya'll make me proud to be a Cornhusker! Even when we have gone through our slump, I was still rooting for you. Nobody is better than we are. Bob Devaney, Tom Osborne, Frank Solich are all awesome coaches, and thank you, Bo Pelini, for believing in us and bringing us back! I told my brother, Patrick, that Bo would bring us back in two years. Patrick said, "Nah, three years." Looks like it's this year! Hot dawg. Tom Osborne, it's great to have you as our Athletic Director! We, your loyal fans, will always be here rooting for you across the country. People just don't understand why I have such love and respect for Nebraska when there are "better" teams out there, or why, as a female, I can have such passion for Nebraska. I tell 'em, that's your opinion, and mine is there is nobody bigger, badder, or better, than the Nebraska Cornhuskers for me. I bleed red for a reason - Nebraska is my one and only team! Guys, I bow down to you for your plays and the hits you take for us! You are the best, and our house is a very, very fine house! Much love and respect to our coaches - past and present - from your loyal fan. Yolanda Kucera, The Dalles, Oregon
I have followed and loved Husker football since 1970 when I moved to Nebraska. I have so much respect for the quality of coaches we have, and the concern they have for our athletes' education, quality of character and performance on the field - in that order. I am so proud to say, "I love the Huskers," and living in Big Ten territory, I really love to say it. I'm looking forward to all of the activities of the 300th game becoming available on DVD. I'm sure I'm not the only one who would love to see and hear ALL the things that happened on Friday and Saturday, including the game and all the activities after the game. Thank you for all you do for Big Red. Alice Fisher, Sycamore, Illinois
Editor's note: Huskers.com now has its own DVD Store. The Louisiana-Lafayette game, including activities and features surrounding the game, is available for individual purchase as our 300th Sellout Video. You can also choose a Complete Season Set of DVDs via Priority Mail. With the Big 12 Conference season up next, you might be interested in purchasing a Seven-game special via standard mail or a Seven-game special via priority mail.
My husband and I were at the game last night and enjoyed all the fans and the videos from everyone on the big screen. It shows how much Nebraska is respected when we have Frank, Turner, both Barrys and Keith saying what they did. I have been a Husker fan (of all sports) and especially football as long as I can remember. I remember listening to the games on a little AM radio in the late '50s and knew it was something special even then. I was surprised that people left before the game was over. I'm glad we stayed until the end and still didn't want to leave then. A great night for Husker fans and players!! Jan Lang, DuBois, Nebraska
I have so much appreciation for these great men in what they've done not only for Husker football, but for all Nebraskans! There is no place like Nebraska! Ron Conrad
What an awesome day for all of Nebraska. I have been a fan since 1962 and now children and grandchildren are fans even though we live in Texas. I have always been proud to be a Big Red fan and not just because of winning, but also because of the fan support, the sportsmanship always shown, the high standards of academics, and the emphasis always shown by the coaching staff for teaching our players values. Many out-of-town games I have been to, I have heard and read about the class shown by the Nebraska fans, even after defeat, which has not been too often. GO BIG RED! John Graeve, Beford, Texas
I am just writing to say I have been Husker fan since I was 7-years-old. I grew up in a small town near the Oklahoma border and was able to attend one game in Lincoln - when Gerry Gdowski was the quarterback. I still follow the Husker football team very closely. Now that Bo Pelini is the head coach, I see nothing but back to the "good ole' days" of Nebraska football and playing the game the way it should be played. I now live in a small town in southwest Montana, but I listen to every game on the radio, and am very proud of this team. Rick Chambers, Southwest Montana
Memorial Stadium is a very fine house indeed. As I sat there Saturday evening, I remembered watching games in 1962 after graduating from high school. Then having the privilege to attend and graduate from NU. Every Saturday game day was special. There is an excitement that runs through that stadium like electricity. I've always told everyone that you had to attend a game at Memorial Stadium to truly understand the passion of fans for a team, for sportsmanship and for a pure love of the game of football. Every Saturday I'm there, I'm still amazed at the fans and their following of the team and the coaches, who have done and accomplished so much. Yesterday's 300th sellout celebration was for the fans who have never given up on their team, their school and their belief that nothing is impossible if you are a Big Red Fan. Carl L. Haynes, Lincoln, Nebraska
What a beautiful article! Thank you very much. Cindy Bethel, Plattsmouth, Nebraska
At heart I'm still and always will be a Husker. I've been a fan since I was 5-years-old. My earliest memory was that of Johnny Rodgers' punt return against Oklahoma. I cried as I watched the heart-breaker at Miami whenTurner Gill, Mike Rozier and their teammates lost by one point. I cried when Florida State kicked the winning field goal to win the national championship (I still say we should have had a three-peat in 93-94-95). And I cried when my beloved Huskers played Tennessee and put Peyton Manning in his place - and it was Dr. Tom's last game as coach. Coming to Memorial Stadium is just awesome and an emotional experience, especially during the Tunnel Walk. I get goose bumps and all choked up. I try to make it to one home game per year, and it's worth the 6-hour drive to do it. Thanks for the great Husker articles. Keep up the good work! Ronda Detlefsen, North Liberty, Iowa
I shed a tear or two when I read this article. It was an awesome evening in Nebraska football history, and your article said it so well. Thank you. Ivette Bender
We listened to the game on the radio, but you gave us extra "visual". You put so much of "Nebraska Football" into words. Thank you for a great article! Connie Brost, Harrison, Nebraska
Regarding the 300th sellout, all of the highlights are absolutely wonderful. Saturday night's festivities put a tingle down the back of my neck, but I am the proudest of the way we treat opposing teams and coaches - with the respect that all collegiate athletes deserve. I have been to more than one game where we have stood and applauded the opposing team, and in this day and age of trash talk and negativity, it is wonderful to see opposing players applauded. I can say "There is no place like Nebraska", even though I haven't lived there in 38 years. To me, the best thing about getting Bo Pelini as the head coach is the fact that he will continue our traditions . . . and with a little fire in his belly along with it. He will get our program back in the Top 10 where it belongs, but until then, God bless all the athletes who have had the opportunity to play in the greatest facility in the nation . . . Memorial Stadium in Lincoln, Nebraska. Tom Gunlicks, Sioux Falls, S.D.
We live in Raleigh now, but join hundreds of other Huskers at Sammy's in Raleigh for every game. My husband and I used to go to games as students and will never forget the wonderful games we saw. We are planning to bring our son to his first game at Memorial Stadium next year. He doesn't remember living in Nebraska, but he will always be a Husker! Pennie Bliss, Raleigh, N.C.
What a wonderful article you have written about the House that Bob Devaney and Tom Osborne Built. It brought a tear to my eye as I read it and remembered. My wife, Carol, and I were 1968 and 1969 graduates and have many fond memories of attending the pre-game, game, and post-game festivities with our folks and friends over the years. Carol's dad, Bill Strauss, was the most loyal fan I have ever known. Dad and mom are gone now, but Carol and I still attend games when we can and watch faithfully on television all the games that are available, nationally or pay-per-view. It's nice to still be a part of this wonderful tradition, and yes, the Nebraska fans are still the greatest and most sportsmanlike of any fans in the country, if not the world. Thanks again for helping us remember and reminisce. It makes me feel very proud to have been and still be a part of this great heritage. Bob Burbridge, USAF Pilot, Retired

The Last Days of Pompeii: Decadence, Apocalypse, Resurrection
The aftermath of Mount Vesuvius' infamous eruption froze the city of Pompeii in time and captured artistic imagination for centuries to follow. Experience the perpetual obsession with this historic disaster at the Getty Villa in Santa Monica, where works by artists from Piranesi, Fragonard, and Ingres to Duchamp, Dali, Rothko and Warhol mirror the shifting impression of Pompeii's potent legacy. The exhibition considers such themes as sexual identity, psychoanalysis, the nuclear threat, collective memory and the nature of art, while drawing its name from the melodramatic novel by Edward Bulwer-Lytton that portrays life moments before Vesuvius blew its top.

Video: Lady Gaga Previews New Song "Swine" In ITunes Festival Rehearsal Clip
Lady Gaga gives us a sneak peek behind-the-scenes as she rehearses for the ITunes Music Festival and she debuts a snippet of her new track "Swine" off of ARTPOP!
We gotta say, it's lovely to see her stripped down!
What do you think, Instincters??
Image Source
I forgot Instinct magazine readers are all haters and old men... you all sound so bitter.
Macklemore had it right when he sang about the youtube comments... it just happens to also apply to bitter gays that seem so upset and that have the need to tear down an artist who risked far more than any other pop star for the LGBT community and rights.
tisk tisk.
Excuse me? I don't need a filthy copycat pop skank like Lady Gaga to speak on behalf of me. Thanks.
I'd never asked her to be my voice or representative. Just because she is a public figure, it doesn't mean she is honest to fight for GLBT community and have the right to speak. She is just want to build a fanbase.
Who hires her anyway? It is very tragic and sad that GLBT can live without Gaga but Gaga can't survive without GLBT.
Get it?

The carat of a diamond equals the weight it. 1 carat is equal to 200 milligrams. The image of the ring on a hand is only an educated guess.
1,08 carat
The diamond shape or cut is the only aspect not determined by nature. The better the polisher, the better the cut. Our craftsmen are renowed for their passion and skill when it comes to turning rough stones into beauties for centuries.
The clarity of a diamond is the amount of internal damage it has. Some visible with the naked eye, some only with a loupe. A flawless diamond, also known as river pure, is very seldom.
The more transparent or whiter a diamond is, the more it reflects light and thus the more it sparkles.There is one exception which is for brightly colored diamond, ike a pink, blue or bright yellow diamond. These are more seldom and worth even more than regular transparent diamonds.
Make a difference between colored diamonds and the regular scale
At Coster Diamonds we sell the highest quality gold settings, in different types of gold, platinum and titanium, mostly forged by our own skilled goldsmiths.
Besides diamonds, we also offer many different types of gemstones. Each with its own unique characteristics which – when used properly- can really bring a piece of jewelry to the next level.

Parentage Unknown: The Ultimate Brickwall?
7 comments:
I think in many cases, yes, a foundling is a huge brickwall.ReplyDelete
I've had a complete nightmare with my husbands great-grandmother who we were told by family was a foundling. I've done my own light research and it appears this could be true. There is no father listed on her marriage certificate and I've located her only once in the census in her maiden name but at the time she was boarding with her future husbands family. There are a couple of other births registered around the same time with the same name however these are all living with their parents on later censuses. Without anymore information on her I can't really move forward with her. It's a complete brick wall and I find it so very frustrating!
With recent advances in genetic genealogy such a situation is not necessarily a brick wall. If the foundling was a male a Y-DNA test will provide clues as to the surname. The new autosomal DNA tests from Family Tree DNA (Family Finder) and 23andMe (Relative Finder) might provide matches with genetic cousins. Success does of course depend on the right people being in the database to match you. The chances of this happening will improve as more and more people get their DNA tested. Many adoptees are using these tests to trace their birth families and there was even a case of a teenager who was conceived from a sperm donation who was able to trace his biological father. Dick Hill in America found his adoptive family through DNA testing. He has a very good website which explains what is involved:ReplyDelete
The same principles would apply for foundling children, assuming there is still a living descendant to take a DNA test.
Thanks for the comments.ReplyDelete
Debbie, I had thought about DNA but I suppose success may depend on how long ago the foundling was born and whether there are any descendants on the right lines. The newer DNA tests you mention certainly open up some new possibilities for tracking down the more elusive ancestors.
- Jmt1342 November 2010 at 13:24
I'm not a foundling but an adoptee with no father listed on my birth certificate. My real father is willing and able to sign, my real mother is not cooperating. I am unable to apply to a UK court as I am no longer UK resident. My father could do this but cannot afford to, nor can I afford flights to the UK for UK-court-sanctioned DNA. So, it will remain blank. All I can do is make sure my children know their real story and put father's (unusual) surname for their middle names and hope future detectives will figure this out!ReplyDelete
Perhaps not. You are only looking at it from the point of view of the child and birth records. Does the child grow up and perhaps do their parents reenter the picture? If so, does the child then enter those names on their marriage record? If the child knows she/he was a foundling there's a chance that they on their own found out their identity. However, if not, it does seem to be a great obstacle.ReplyDelete
I too wrote on Fondling a while back in the post Don't Forget Foundling Hospital Records. I was able to find the original family, thanks to 1)small community 2)DNA match 3)memoir/diary of a non-relative, mentioning the young mother by name. From their I was able to find other clues to collaborate the findings.ReplyDelete
My second search was due to Jewish records. The baby however was left at a non Jewish foundling hospital with a note. My client had difficulty believing she was from Jewish descent. This finding was a treasure, but probably once in a life-time.
However, this is a search of love, passion and dedication like no other.
Good luck.

I don't agree with Umair Haque's latest post.
Haque, director of the Havas Media Lab who blogs and writes for the Harvard Business Review, says that, just like during the dot.com bubble and the sub-prime mortgage bubble, we're witnessing a social media bubble; people are ignoring the warning signs of a great collapse.
Here's the money quote:
During the subprime bubble, banks and brokers sold one another bad debt — debt that couldn't be made good on. Today, "social" media is trading in low-quality connections — linkages that are unlikely to yield meaningful, lasting relationships.
Haque is worried that the prevalence of Facebook "friendships" are cheapening our notions of friendship altogether. If these social network relationships were in any sense real, then social conditions would be improving. They're not, so . . . they're not.
Haque's right that internet connections are not making the world a better place, at least not if you're looking for poverty, racism, sexism, and the like to be overcome. People still treat other people contemptibly, especially in online forums, and, as danah boyd is chronicling, white flight (for example) is just as pronounced online as off.
But forming new relationships to fix the world is not what social media wants to do. New social technologies like Twitter, Facebook, and even text messaging don't bring new people together as much as they extend and strengthen existing relationships. Teenagers, for example, use instant messaging, status updates, and texts to "hang out" with their offline, real-life friends, online. They don't go looking for new friends.
Haque's concern is misplaced, but it's not uncommon. People often complain that online relationships are "thin" or "less real" than real face-to-face relationships. Of course they are. But most online social media connections aren't things in themselves. They're ways of making existing relationships better.
And, in my view, they do that pretty well.

I remember as a child going to the library to research reports, watching my parents study AAA-provided maps to route out our vacations and handwriting letters to my grandparents.
Things have certainly changed. Today, students research their reports on their computers, people use GPS to find their way on their vacations, and keeping in touch with family is as easy as e-mail. What used to take more time and effort now seems almost effortless.
That's the way more and more people want their quest for fitness to be: quick and easy. And they don't mind paying a little more for it if it allows them to take the easy way out.
From 2002 to 2008, the number of bariatric surgeries performed in the United States doubled, according to the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery. Liposuction has grown as a way to get rid of unwanted fat.
So the idea of taking a pill to lose weight seems ideal to many people. We all witnessed the big market for Ephedra and Hydroxycut when both pills, now banned in the United States, were introduced. That's why people in the fitness industry must be careful about how we market sports nutrition and weight-loss supplements. We must not play into the idea that by taking supplements, members won't have to work out as hard or as often.
More than 60 million people in the United States are totally inactive, according to a recent study by the Physical Activity Council. Just a small percentage of Americans actually get the recommended daily allowance of physical activity.
Despite this lack of activity, supplements are a growing market. Supplement use for adults 20 years old and older increased from 1988 to 2006. The percent of people who took at least one dietary supplement grew from 42 percent of people surveyed between 1988 and 1994 to 53 percent of people surveyed between 2003 and 2006, according to the National Health and Examination Survey, which was conducted by the National Center for Health Statistics.
The narrower category of sports nutrition and weight loss (SNWL) supplements grew 9 percent from 2009 to 2010, totaling $22.7 billion in sales. SNWL sales have had a compound growth rate of 10.2 percent during the past 13 years.
That, according to Todd Whitthorne, CEO of Cooper Concepts, Dallas, is proof that few people who use supplements are actually avid exercisers who need sports nutrition drinks or other supplements. Instead, they are looking for a shortcut.
"Gatorade has done a fantastic job of marketing," Whitthorne says of the PepsiCo-branded sports nutrition drink that had $1 billion in annual sales and has a 75 percent market share. "You don't need it unless you have been doing something continuously for an hour or more. And how many people do that?"
Our industry has a responsibility to give members a realistic view of what supplements can do for them rather than overselling their benefits and playing into that shortcut mentality that pervades American society. Getting fit and staying that way takes time, effort and constant attention to a good diet and a varied workout. You still can't get everything in our world at the click of a button or the pop of a pill.

We had read about a kindness project that took place at a local middle school. Schmucker Middle School had worked on notes of kindness and hid them in lockers to surprise the kids the next day.
My co-leader and I thought this would be a great project for our Brownies. This is our first year having a Girl Scout troop at our school, consisting of 3 kindergarten Daisies, 2 second grade Brownies, and 5 third grade Brownies. We have a small school of only 130 students, so we had the Brownies write a nice note for each and every student in the whole school. The girls had fun doing this month and a half long project, and were finally able to place the notes on students tables during last week's meeting.
I was able to come in and visit in the morning when all the students were discovering the notes left for them. There seemed to be smiles all around, and made that Wednesday just that much brighter.

Hello again guys. I'm okay and you all? Hopefully, fine. Well, these post is very old and I'm trying to clean all my draft posts before start with new projects. So, this post is very special to me. I found 8tracks more than ago and I really love the site so much. My account is not that big, but it's okay by now. And I found I new addicted in my love. No, just kidding, I used to hear instrumental music before join to 8tracks, but somehow, it helps me grow up my love with this genre. I discover a lot of new age musician and I'm very happy with that. So I made my own playlists with the songs that I love. I only have these two published, but I already have more two in construcion. Is that, I guess. Hope you guys enjoy the playlist and please, tell me what you think. Until next post and bye.

Hi again! It's been a long time since I wrote or update this blog. First of all, I'm really sorry. It's been almost 5 months since I updated this blog and I'm really sorry about that. I never meant to really leave the blog with no activities. But I had some issues in those months. On February (date of my last post) I started a pattern maker course and I really dedicated all my love on fashion world to learn about make clothes. But the course was not as long, only 2 and half months and when I finally finish him, I started with my other big trouble. I have some big issues with my mental heath, really. What I'm trying to say is, if something's bothering me or putting me down, I just shut myself to everything. I literally can't do anything, even the things I love. I just sit there, with no power and with no motivation and I can't stop myself of doing this. I really tried to do things, like draw or write, or sew a clothes or make an accessory, or maybe update the blog, but I just can't do anything. But today, I'm trying again. Some weeks ago I started sewing again and I just make myself a little proud. Is my little start, I guess. And I'm developing a bunch of new sewing projects and I'm writing a lot these days and I think I can do this again. Even with a lot of things bothering me, I think I can do this. So yes, I'm back and I promise to you all that I'll never do this again. This blog is a part of me, that I really don't want to see dead. So yeah, I'm happy to bring this up again. Hope you guys still there for me. It's all. Bye and till next post.

HELLO AGAIN! I'm finally back. I made a few requests on online stores a.k.a ebay and another online store last month and I started to get one. Well, the other things or not arrived or are stuck on the post office (and they are on strike). And I want as soon as they arrive! And I'm pretty happy with the first product who arrived. I bought this on ebay, and I was pretty anxious, because I do not trust that much on ebay and it was my first purchase there, so I was a little nervous. Not that I would spend my own money because I paid him with paypal and the money that I had there was a payment for contributions that I did, so..Whatever! I really loved the glasses. I really love this kind of glasses, and so you know why I love so much, is because circle sunglasses and wayfarer sunglasses are the only ones that look good with my face. And also I like the style. I never label my own style, I'm a bit of everything and I think it fits well when I dress myself with a rock style, or indie or grunge. Makes a happy fit together! I'll continue to wait for the other products and hope they do not delay coming. And another thing, pretty soon, I will update the blog about the fashion course I'm doing. Today we start making the clothes patterns and now I'm going to learn, it costs nothing to teach people how to make their own clothes at home and correctly. I was a bit sad, because with the first class, I realized how much I made mistakes when I'm trying to make my own clothes, and I'm glad that I can finally learn how to do everything correctly. So that's it! See you soon!

TAGGED ON shopping
Tuesday, February 18, 2014
Hello again guys. As I said in the last post, my life is crazy. I started a course of modeling, and I finally found the right word, is: Patternmaker. So it's crazy, but I still have a little time to look for interesting things to post here. Well, everyone knows I have an obsession with online shopping sites and am always looking for something new to share with you guys. And I found this one and liked it a lot. Is Victoriasdress.co.uk. Much of the site is about wedding dresses, but I found the other side that has more to my face. The other side sells prom dresses , parties in general. And I really loved. I really like these online stores that sell this type of dress because usually the price is good and they have fantastic dresses, and if you are looking for a dress in the same style in the region where you live, going out three times more expensive. So that's why I really love online sites, because you will have more options and will not run the risk of one person is wearing the same dress. So let's talk about the site. They free shipping all orders over £200, Which is pretty fine, because is almost the price of a dress and sometimes, you can even choose two dresses and get free shipping, which is fantastic. And here some pieces that I really loved. I really loved this Tulle Prom Dresses With Rhinestone. The romantic style and the pastel color make my heart melt. I'm not much into romantic things, but I really loved this dress, because of the color of course, and I don't know, I just like so much. And this one: Tulle Cocktail Dresses With Beaded.I really like of nude colors and the beaded details, aw, make him really cute and romanctic. I loved these two dresses, a lot. You can also found another options, because they have a lot of dresses. Here's the link to the site. Hope you guys visit the online store, give them a lot of love and buy a lot of things. And i think is it. Bye and till the next post.

Data today showed new-home construction in July climbed 5.9% to an 896,000 annualized rate. Consumer confidence in the U.S. unexpectedly dropped in August from a six-year high. The VIX fell 5.9% today to 13.86 after yesterday touching the highest level this month. J.C. Penney Co. fell 3.5% to $13.35.
Equities: The SEP13 E-mini S&P 500 futures (CME:ESU13) are up 3.5 points this morning to 1659, after a sharp down move yesterday to the low 1650′s. We have first resistance at 1670, a key pivot level at 1658, and a next downside target at 1634, according to our market profile analysis. 1658 seems to us to be the key pivot level for the short term. Corporate earnings and guidance have likely caused to market to sell off recently, in addition to the market getting concerned that a very upbeat jobless claims number yesterday may portend a higher likelihood of a fed tapering announcement next month. We believe the upside may be limited for this market, while there could be more room to fall below 1658. 1644 another important support level.
Bonds: The SEP13 US 30yr bond market (CBOE:ZBU13) is down again today, this time trading down 26 ticks to 131'09. The bonds are trading well below their key pivot level of 131'20, and if they continue to trend lower, our next market profile target is 130'08. It seems like the bonds do not want to rally before the next Fed meeting for fear of a tapering announcement. However, there is always a chance the bonds will go down too far too fast, and we may see a short-covering rally before the next Fed meeting, but at this point, we would not be surprised to see the bonds continue to slide. Again, 131'20 is our key decision level we watch.
Currencies: After a steep and rapid sell-off yesterday, the SEP13 USD (NYBOT:DXU13) has reversed course today and is back up 18 ticks to 81.38. It bounced off a key support level yesterday of 81.12. As long as the USD stays above this key support level, we believe it can head higher to at least 82, possibly 82.50. We would not be surprised to see this rally into the Fed meeting next month. Conversely, the SEP13 Euro is down 26 ticks to 133.23, and is resting on multiple trendline support points. The SEP13 Aussie dollar is very strong today, trading up 55 ticks to 91.78, and we would not be surprised to see this currency head towards a key potential breakout level of 92.50.
Commodities: The big story we'd like to focus on is DEC13 cotton (NYBOT:CTZ13). Cotton is up another $.017 today to $.9348. At this beginning of this month, cotton was trading about $.08 lower, as expected rainfall which may be very damaging to cotton crops has caused this market to stage a significant rally in August. Even though technically today cotton could potentially be at overbought levels, it looks like this market could potentially head higher. We have a market profile upside target for this market at $.9510. At this point we believe cotton could attract some profit-taking action. DEC13 cocoa futures have also had a nice rally, trading at $2492/metric ton, on speculation that dry weather in West Africa, the world's main growing region, will damage the crop. DEC13 gold rallied hard yesterday, and is up slightly today to $1365. We still believe rallies may be stopped in the resistance zone of $1380-$1420. We believe the potential slowing of Fed stimulus may put a ceiling on gold at this resistance zone.

Sandy Hook Students Return To School For New Year
MONROE, Conn. (AP) — Students at the Connecticut school where 20 first-graders and six educators were killed in December are returning to classes in a neighboring town.
Newtown's first day of school is Tuesday. The Sandy Hook Elementary School students are being bused to the neighboring town of Monroe, where a former middle school was renovated for them shortly after the shootings.
The 400 or so Sandy Hook students are starting their first full school year since the Dec. 14 shootings. Twenty-year-old Adam Lanza shot the 26 victims and killed himself, after fatally shooting his mother at their Newtown home. The motive remains unclear.
Town voters will be asked in October to approve plans to demolish the school where the massacre occurred and build a new one on the same property.

Leonard Medical School
The Leonard Medical School, established in Raleigh by Shaw University in 1880, trained more than 400 African American physicians during the nearly 40 years of its existence. Soon after Henry Martin Tupper of Massachusetts, a missionary representing the American Baptist Home Mission Society, founded Shaw in 1865, he cited the need for educating black physicians. Stressing the absence of any institution for their training between Washington, D.C., and New Orleans, he finally persuaded Shaw's trustees to organize a medical department on the Raleigh campus. Partial funding came from the American Baptist Home Mission Society and other northern philanthropists, primarily Judson Wade Leonard, of Hampden, Mass., the brother of Tupper's wife. In his honor the new department was named Leonard Medical School. The site, a square acre at the southeast corner of the antebellum governor's mansion lot, then occupied by Raleigh's Centennial Graded School, was donated by the North Carolina General Assembly.
The Leonard Medical Building, or Leonard Hall, was under construction by the spring of 1881 and opened on 1 November with a faculty of two white Raleigh physicians. Dr. James McKee held the chair of physiology and medical principles and practices, while continuing his own medical practice, and Dr. F. A. Spafford, already a classics professor at Shaw, taught anatomy. As enrollment increased, as many as 23 other members of Raleigh's white medical profession acted as part-time faculty over the life of the school.
Tuition for the initial student body was partially financed by a small endowment and later by the John F. Slater Fund. The students helped reduce their expenses by performing some of the maintenance work in Leonard Hall. Their first-year curriculum of necessity included some preparatory science classes as well as medical courses. By the first graduation, in 1886, Leonard offered a graded program requiring a full four years, thus becoming one of the first four-year medical schools in the nation.
Leonard's first graduates included six doctors, all of whom passed their licensing board examinations. Two of them were North Carolinians, and the others were from Georgia, South Carolina, Virginia, and West Virginia. Two of the six began their medical practice in the state. One of these, class valedictorian Lawson Andrew Scruggs, was resident physician at Leonard Hospital for several years.
Although Leonard continued to graduate well-trained, successful physicians, its limited endowment made it increasingly difficult to expand and keep pace with other black medical schools. Meharry Medical College in Nashville, Tenn., and Howard Medical College in Washington, D.C., received much more funding. In Raleigh, Saint Augustine's College completed a massive new three-story building for its St. Agnes Hospital during the 1908-9 academic year.
In 1914 the Shaw trustees shortened the medical curriculum to two years, with the expectation that graduates with bachelor of science in medicine degrees would go on to Meharry or Howard, which were by then receiving considerable Rockefeller funding. Finally, the decision was made to close the school, with the last classes apparently held during 1918-19.
Two structures built for the Leonard Medical School are extant, both on the west side of the 700 block of South Wilmington Street-Leonard Hall and the adjacent Tyler Hall (1910). After the medical school and hospital closed, these structures were used for a variety of purposes. Both buildings are within Raleigh's East Raleigh-South Park Historic District, which was entered in the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.

Northeast Texas wheat farmers are breathing a huge sigh of relief as they harvest what appears to be a much-better-than-average crop instead of what many expected as late as six weeks ago would be a near disaster.
In the first days of harvest, farmers in Hunt, Fannin and Grayson Counties were cutting wheat averaging around 70 to 80 bushels per acre. Some reported fields pushing 100 bushels per acre.
"About six weeks ago we didn't know if we would make a crop," said Pat Fallon, who pulled into a field where his brother Mike was combining what appeared to be yields in the 70- to low-80-bushel per acre range and where Jim Swart, Texas AgriLife Extension integrated pest management specialist, and this reporter were analyzing yield prospects.
The crop got off to a bad start, farmers say. Drought at planting time delayed germination. A few fields received a bit of moisture in late October and germinated. Most fields were bare until a Christmas Day rain provided enough moisture to get the rest of the crop up. Still, the stand was ragged, non-uniform and offered little hope of producing anything close to an average crop.
And then three cold snaps seemed to have destroyed much of the wheat.
If you are enjoying reading this article, please check out Southwest Farm Press Daily and receive the latest news right to your inbox.
We caught up with Mike by phone as he maneuvered his combine across the Grayson County field. "It's cutting pretty good," he said. "We're making better than we expected from a tough year. A lot of wheat was not even up in January, and I haven't seen any freeze damage."
He was in his second day of harvest and said yields were running into the 80-bushel range in some fields. Early test weights had been low but the wheat he cut later was much better, closer to 60.
"If these yields hold up, I'll be tickled to death," he said. "This year we got fooled, but in a good way."
Across the highway, Chad Wetzel was harvesting a field of hard red winter wheat. The Fallons grow only soft, as do most wheat farmers in this region because yields are higher and the stalks stand better. "Only about 1 percent of the wheat acreage is in hard wheat," Swart said.
He added that the area is a good fit for soft red winter wheat and is "more like Arkansas and the Mid-South than other parts of Texas. We often see a six- to 10-bushel advantage with soft wheat. We may see more than that this year."
Wetzel was also pleased with early prospects. "It's cutting pretty well," he said, also from his combine. "The hard winter wheat is a little rough, and it's just getting dry enough to cut."
"We have a good market for hard wheat in Sherman so we plant about half and half," Wetzel said. "It's an easy haul from here."
He had not started cutting any of the soft wheat but said the hard was yielding "pretty well. It will not do as well as the soft, but we make up the difference with a better price."
He was also a bit surprised at how well the wheat is turning out after the start it had and the late freezes. "We're making a little above expectations," he said. "About 75 percent of this crop came up after that Christmas rain. We had bare fields in January, and it was a little scary. We've been fortunate the last two years and stayed at profitable (yield) levels."
Dodged a bullet
Ronnie Lumpkins farms in Fannin and Hunt Counties and is thankful he has a crop to harvest. "We could have lost it," he said. "But we think we have a lot of 60- and 80-bushel wheat. A couple of times after planting we could have been headed to a wreck. We haven't seen any freeze damage, so we may have dodged a bullet."
He says this could be the second straight year his wheat crop has beaten the odds. "Last year we had a lifetime crop," he said.
He's also pleased with how well his corn looks and says he may have had a year or two in the last 40 that looked as promising this time of year, "but there haven't been many that looked this good."
He's not taking anything for granted. "We don't have the corn in the truck," he said. "And it's not made until then. We will need some more rain and I'd like to get an inch or an inch-and-a-half every Friday night and then Monday we would be dry enough to get back in the field."
He says a 20-day stretch without rain could put him back into a deficit situation.
Northeast Texas has benefitted from timely moisture since that Christmas rain and snow event broke the drought, at least to some extent. Swart says the wheat responded well following that rain and that ample tillering made up for a lot of delayed growth. And timely rains kept it going.
"Not every area is this good," Lumpkins said. "Areas to the West, East and South of us have not been as fortunate."
Jay Norman also farms Fannin and Hunt County acreage and agrees that this crop exceeds expectations. Early average, after just two or three days of harvest, was running at 72 bushels per acre but some fields could hit 100.
He's also seen "no sign of freeze damage."
Swart says the exceptional yields producers are making show how resilient the wheat plant is. "It's a pretty forgiving crop," he said.
He also noted that the area did see some disease pressure but most farmers sprayed tebuconazole fungicide. Cost, at about $1.30 per acre, makes that application "a bargain. Fungicide application would have definitely paid this year," he said. "Break-even for using the product is only one bushel per acre, counting material cost and application expense. That's pretty easy to get, and most growers sprayed.
"Many farmers sprayed late, after they realized they would actually make a crop."
Swart said he is surprised at how well this crop is turning out. "With the low temperatures we had I can't understand why it's as good as it is. And it got off to such a bad start with most not coming up until after Christmas."
Most times farmers don't like surprises, but they'll take this one and count themselves lucky. Most wheat acreage across the Southwest has not fared as well.

noun plural -mies
Word Origin for alchemy
mid-14c., from Old French alchimie (14c.), alquemie (13c.), from Medieval Latin alkimia, from Arabic al-kimiya, from Greek khemeioa (found c.300 C.E. in a decree of Diocletian against "the old writings of the Egyptians"), all meaning "alchemy." Perhaps from an old name for Egypt (Khemia, literally "land of black earth," found in Plutarch), or from Greek khymatos "that which is poured out," from khein "to pour," related to khymos "juice, sap" [Klein, citing W. Muss-Arnolt, calls this folk etymology]. The word seems to have elements of both origins.
Mahn ... concludes, after an elaborate investigation, that Gr. khymeia was probably the original, being first applied to pharmaceutical chemistry, which was chiefly concerned with juices or infusions of plants; that the pursuits of the Alexandrian alchemists were a subsequent development of chemical study, and that the notoriety of these may have caused the name of the art to be popularly associated with the ancient name of Egypt. [OED]
The al- is the Arabic definite article, "the." The art and the name were adopted by the Arabs from Alexandrians and thence returned to Europe via Spain. Alchemy was the "chemistry" of the Middle Ages and early modern times; since c.1600 the word has been applied distinctively to the pursuit of the transmutation of baser metals into gold, which, along with the search for the universal solvent and the panacea, were the chief occupations of early chemistry.
A Closer Look: Because their goals were so unrealistic, and because they had so little success in achieving them, the practitioners of alchemy in the Middle Ages got a reputation as fakers and con artists. But this reputation is not fully deserved. While they never succeeded in turning lead into gold (one of their main goals), they did make discoveries that helped to shape modern chemistry. Alchemists invented early forms of some of the laboratory equipment used today, including beakers, crucibles, filters, and stirring rods. They also discovered and purified a number of chemical elements, including mercury, sulfur, and arsenic. And the methods they developed to separate mixtures and purify compounds by distillation and extraction are still important.

About Metalab
This is our entry for the Hackerspaces book, which will be released around 25C3. It will probably also serve as the default site for english visitors.
General Information
Hackerspace name: Metalab
Hackerspace tagline: open center for meta-disciplinary magicians and technical-creative enthusiasts
Hackerspace website: http://metalab.at
Hackerspace contact email (this might be you): core on metalab.at
Tell the story of the beginning of the hackerspace. How did you come up with the idea? How did you choose the name of your hackerspace? What was your original vision?
We had seen inspirational examples of hackerspaces at CCC and c-base in Germany, and missed a place like this in Vienna: a public living room or laboratory where people could meet and work with friends without having to go to a cafe, pub or work. The name came up because we wanted to have a laboratory, but since laboratories are usually focused on one thing and we try to have many different focuses we tought "meta" would perfectly describe that. Our Logo shows a Phonebooth representing old school technology with hackvalue and electrons in the back in tribute to technical (r)evolution.
What are some obstacles that you had to overcome at the beginning of your hackerspace when you were just getting started?
- critical mass: Many people think, everything that does not exist yet is impossible. In an important early meeting, in which we decided to rent the room, we were about 30-40 people. Without this mass, it would have been risky financially.
- basics, scouting: It can take a long time to establish the basics, like the real world space you have to rent. The wiki was extremely helpful in this phase. When someone found an interesting location, he created up a wiki page with the specs and then we would organize meeting with the real-estate agent or landlord. There is some risk that other apartment-hunters will take notice but at this stage one usually want to find comrades-in-arms, so keeping the process open makes a lot of sense.
- renovation: We established the infrastructure - like power outlets, the kitchen and the floor - step by step, while actively using the space. This led to an endless Sokoban game. It was unavoidable, since we did not have the financial power to fix everything at once. Our advice is, if you can fix the basic infrastructure before you move in, do it.
- organization: It took a long time until we had infrastructure for membership administration and (automatic) bank collection. Usually, nobody wants to do these "boring" tasks, because people prefer to hack or slack.
Describe your hackerspace. What do visitors to the space notice that is special about the space? What kind of tools and resources do you have at the space?
People will note that its a very creative space. Self-built machines, huge drawings on the walls, whiteboards where people express their thoughts. Many details that refer to the culture we all grew up with, fE the blinking Spaceinvaders in the Lounge.
- Technical
- We have a small but well equipped workshop
- A photo laboratory (dark room)
- Lots of electronic measurement tools like oscilloscopes and pattern generators, soldering irons, and other tools needed for electronics development
- A professional etching tank
- A CNC machine
- Fast Network and Wlan Internetuplink
- Audioequipment
- Computers (lots)
- Social
- Library
- Lounge / Smokers Room with Beamer
- Well equipped Kitchen
How often do you meet? What happens at these meetings?
Our core/organization team (which is not clearly defined, so everyone can join and take up tasks) meets monthly to discuss matters relevant to the whole hackerspace, like current and future renovation projects and equipment purchases.
We have multiple special interest groups, which, of course, meet more regularly.
Describe a disaster that occurred in your hackerspace. (flood, lightning, accident or some such thing)
While renovating the lounge and drilling holes in the floor, we damaged the underfloor heating, resulting in water coming out of the hole. We were lucky, though: this heating system is low-pressure...
(any "better" [= more spectacular] accidents? anyone?)
What are some things that have come out of your hackerspace that you are most proud of?
There's the Led Matrix, a 72x48 blue led matrix. We have a twitter-enabled Fridge and a constantly-evolving RepRap.
Two of the smaller rooms have color-shifting ceiling lights, and one of them can even be set to exact RGB values.
Metalab was also the place where Soup (a "personal publishing" startup), and Graffiti Research Lab Vienna were founded.
Was there anything that you did that was essential to the start of your hackerspace? Do you have any advice for people who might be thinking of starting a hackerspace?
Don't give up if people tell you that it's not possible. Most people only believe in what they can touch. The same people (if they are geeks) will love the place once they can touch it.
Don't establish too many rules. Decide thing when you need to - not just in case. Humans are most productive when they do the things they want to do in an environment that encourages these things. Shared geeky interests can be a wonderful thing. which reminds me of that xkcd ... A hackerspace can approximate this environment very well if everybody cleans up at least his/her own dishes. (hackerspace inequality #1)
We found it crucial to choose a location in a rather central position in Vienna especially in regard of public transportation. In the outlying suburbs it's usually cheaper and the neighborhood might be less sensitive but it is a big advantage when people can drop by easily after or before work, university, highschool or during their nightlife/leisure time activities.
A geeky hackerspace doesn't mean it has to be restricted to be for coders or electronics folks only. We aimed to establish a bracing climate due to a plurality of interests, professions and genders, thus Metalab.
Don't underestimate the need for storage space and don't pile up junk if space is limited.
- Get members to tell a story or recount an adventure associated with the beginning of your hackerspac

2 Week Specials, Building & French in Senegal by Ella Dixon-Nuttall
I wanted to spend a couple of weeks abroad over the summer, living and volunteering in a country I'd never been to before whilst learning French, but couldn't find anything like that for such a short duration – then I found Projects Abroad. The huge range of choice for various destinations and projects made me want to go everywhere, but in the end I decided on the 2 Week Special programme; Care & Community with French in Senegal, as it combined everything I wanted to do in a country I knew little about but was excited to experience.
Arriving in Senegal
It wasn't until I stepped off the plane at Dakar into the sweltering heat, surrounded my voices speaking an unfamiliar language, that I knew I was in Africa. Although slightly daunted by the prospect of what lay ahead, I knew that so many new experiences and adventures were waiting for me across the next two weeks that the best thing to do was to embrace it.
Along with 2 other volunteers, we were met by one of the very welcoming and friendly Projects Abroad staff to stay in a hotel for the night, as by this time it was 9pm and too late to travel to St. Louis, the town where we would be staying. The next day, after a typically Senegalese breakfast of fresh baguette and 'Chocó pain', we set off for the journey to the town, during which we got our first real view of Senegal, seeing buses with people clinging on from all sides (including the roof) and a lot of mangoes!
Living with a host family
I was immediately welcomed into my new home by my host family and after some brief conversation in French was shown to my rooftop bedroom which had beautiful views all across St. Louis, as well as of the goats that also had a room up on the roof! I was sharing this with another girl from England, and we soon headed out for a game of football with some other volunteers and local boys who lived just round the corner, before sharing a Senegalese platter of fish, rice and onions with our family for dinner.
Over the two weeks I found staying with a host family allowed me to really experience Senegalese culture, even spending Ramadan with the family, trying traditional recipes and taking food over to other family members in the local areas.
My daily activities
A typical day for me started with French lessons in the morning, which I found really stimulating and enjoyable as these were one to one, involving grammar and literature as well as discussion of issues such as religion, cultural differences, Senegalese history and politics. I learnt a lot about Senegalese culture whilst developing my French and engaged with a lot of interesting debate with my teacher.
These would finish at around 12:30pm and we would then all go for lunch in the town, with the menu ranging from the safe option of spaghetti to many Senegalese fish, rice and meat dishes – one day I had a whole fish (head included) on my plate! After lunch we then all went together to the talibé centre where we did construction work to improve the centre for the orphan boys who called it their home.
The end result was a bright and colourful mural that we all painted and signed, and it was amazing to know how much of a difference we made to all the orphans' lives. After we finished at the talibé centre, usually around 6:00am, we usually had social activities organised. These included swimming at Flamingo Pool, trips to the patisserie, shopping in the town and even a Senegalese dance class one evening, keeping us occupied and allowing us to make the most of our short time there, as Senegalese families typically eat quite late.
Weekend excursions
The highlight of my trip was the Saturday excursion to local villages, where we travelled on a bus and then 'horse and chariot' (literally wood on wheels being pulled by buses) to a more rural area, where people lived in small, very remote communities. We played with the children, who were all fascinated by our cameras, and experienced traditional Senegalese dancing whilst sipping fresh mint tea. It was an unforgettable day and I have many photos of happy smiling children to remind me of the experience.
The trip exceeded all expectations and I was really sad to leave Senegal and return home, although perhaps not so sad to leave the sound of goats behind! I learnt so much about myself and about the world, and took away a mango addiction as well as a few words of Wolof and some fantastic memories that I will never forget.

Product description
Art.No.: A108799
The BONDOLINO® is an ergonomic carrying aid right from the beginning up to a weight of max. 20 kg. The baby carrier can also be used as front and back carrier.
The detailed and illustrated carrying instructions being supplied with each BONDOLINO® show step by step how to tie our BONDOLINO®. Furthermore, a guiding plastic clip for the shoulder straps is also provided.
Features of the BONDOLINO® "Classic":
• The BONDOLINO® is the first baby carrier manufactured from the diagonally elastic-woven material of a baby sling. It has the unique property of adjusting optimally to the baby and the body of the carrier – just like a baby sling. With a BONDOLINO® you carry your baby very close to your body, like in a classic baby sling.
• In addition, the BONDOLINO® has a very wide base between the legs. This wide base supports the correct spread-squat position of the baby's legs inside the BONDOLINO®, promoting the healthy development of the hips. It prevents the baby's legs from dangling uncomfortably when carried on your stomach or back. The base width enlargement that is to be attached with buttons secures the correct spread-squat position even with larger children.
• You do not need any special insert for newborn babies when using the BONDOLINO®. It adapts to the baby's size.
• The BONDOLINO® is extremely simple to use in many different everyday and life situations, and is quick to tie which makes it popular with fathers!
• Thanks to its wide, padded straps, the BONDOLINO® also adjusts well to the carrier's shoulder and neck region. It also offers extreme comfort during carrying, without pressing or digging into the skin, making it kind to your back – even when carrying heavier babies for a long time!
• The BONDOLINO® does not have any hard buckles, press buttons or snap fasteners. Carrying it is as comfortable and flexible as carrying a baby sling. However, it is much easier to use.
• Thanks to its simple application and optimum design, the BONDOLINO® is also ideal for parents who feel that baby slings are too complicated and/or too alternative.
• Useful details such as a little pocket on the shoulder strap. We explicitly indicate that this pocket is not suitable for mobile phones.
• You will receive a colour fitting storage box at no cost with your BONDOLINO®.
Important Notice:
Please always pay attention to that the Velcro fasteners of the waist belt and the hood are placed exactly one upon the other before washing. Do not use a fabric softener. In no case should the BONDOLINO be spun at spin speeds of 1,000 revs or more; do not tumble dry.
Tumble drying may affect the durability of the Velcro fasteners. Before you put your baby in the BONDOLINO®, always assure that both parts of the Velcro fastener are placed exactly one upon the other, firmly pressed, and remain in place when strained.
Material & care:
• Outer fabric: 100% elastic-woven cotton, tested for harmful substances
• Padding of leg openings: 100% polyester
• Straps: polyurethane
• Velcro fasteners: 100% polyamide
• washable up to 40°C

Next Six PRACE 2IP Prototypes Selected
The latest six PRACE prototypes fall into three main focus areas namely Resilience, Node Accelerators and Low-Power Alternatives to current HPC architecture. They also have different influence and impact on current HPC systems. Some results are directly applicable to current systems, others will affect the next generation of supercomputers, and some are looking to evaluate technologies that will need multiple iterations to become viable HPC alternatives to current hardware paradigms. The following paragraphs will highlight the uniqueness and similarities of each prototype.
The AMFT prototype (GENCI/INRIA, BSC, and GENCI/CINES) will evaluate new check-pointing technologies (Fault Tolerant Interface [FTI] and Multilevel Fault Tolerance [MFT]) in combination with different storage levels and technologies. The results will be relevant to all Petascale-and-beyond systems and are directly applicable to current supercomputers. This is one area that was not a focus for the PRACE-1IP WP9 prototypes but which is identified as one of the key issues for moving towards Exascale computing by European Exascale Software Initiative.The Scalable Hybrid (CSC, CSCS, SARA, T-Platforms Ltd), EURORA (CINECA, GRNET, IPB, NCSA) and CPU/GPU (PSNC, WCNS, Cyfronet) prototypes are investigating node accelerator technologies that are more and more predominant in the latest top 10 of the top 500 list. The focus will be the evaluation of the usefulness and usability of each current accelerator technology, e.g. Intel Many Integrated Cores (MIC), Nvidia GPU and AMD GPU, and possible alternatives to InfiniBand which should help to leverage the computing power provided by accelerators for more applications. The CPU/GPU prototype will investigate AMD APU's as compute node alternatives. A unique point is that Scalable Hybrid and EURORA will assess the usefulness of hot-water cooling ("free cooling") not in central but in northern and in southern Europe in contrast to the first hot-water cooled prototype which was installed at the Leibniz Rechenzentrum (LRZ) in Germany as part of the PRACE-1IP prototypes. Preliminary results showed that in comparison to standard air cooled systems hot-water cooling can save a significant amount of energy in central European climates by using free cooling (no water chillers only outside heat exchangers). All systems will incorporate energy efficiency assessments and measurements.
The last two prototypes will evaluate possible low-power alternatives to current HPC systems based on Systems on Chip (SoC) solutions. The ARM+GPU prototype (BSC, GENCI, CINES) is based on the positive previous experience with BSC's PRACE-1IP Tegra2 prototype and tries to improve the performance to watt ratio by using a more powerful ARM core plus a mobile GPU accelerator. The most far reaching of the new prototypes is SHAVE-PRACE (SNIC, ICHEC (NUI Galway), Movidius Ltd). It uses a SoC designed for video processing that incorporates stacked memory on chip. The peak performance to Watt ratio is very promising. It is projected to reach a double precision efficiency of 140 GFLOP per J with 28nm technology. This would theoretically allow a performance of 2.8 Exaflops per 20 MW if the package power consumption is the only consideration. The goal is to evaluate the possibilities and limitations of leveraging embedded technology for future highly energy aware high performance computing.

My good buddy Matt Miller from ZDNet has been fondling an iPhone for the past two weeks (his wife is starting to worry), extensively testing its features and functionality. He writes on his blog that after much deliberation he has decided to return his device and go back to a Smartphone.
Why is this news? Well for starters, Matt and I both view the iPhone from the same vantage point - as Smartphone users. We're old school mobile experts who grew up in the PDA era, which later evolved into Smartphones, and actively experiment with all the latest in mobile technology. And his tastes and impressions often mirror my own in many ways. Sadly we see eye to eye on this subject as well.
iPhone is a first generation product that feels, at times, more like a prototype than a finished product. Like an unbaked pie that promises so much goodness, but yet needs more time to bake.
Unlike Matt, I won't be returning my iPhone. But I won't be throwing away my Smartphones either. Not yet anyway. Well, not quite. My PalmOS-based Treo is going in the trash where it belongs. I've had my fill of that dying platform.
You can read the some of Matt's impressions @ Blogs.Zdnet.com/mobile-gadgeteer
