Gizmo - Alpha Beta
"It's Beta ready."
Translation: It's Alpha ready."
When I downloaded and installed it on Thursday, I could not even register. It said invalid whatever, every time I tried richard.stastny, richard, stastny or f*ck off. So I gave up. BTW, it would have been helpful to get a notice that you could also register with your old sipphone account. I detected this later. The behaviour on this day must have been somewhat erratic, because a collegue of mine had the same problem, but in his case ALL his tries succeeded despite of the error messages, so he has now 4 accounts, as he detected after receiving the ack e-mails. BTW, I never received any welcome e-mail, despite of being registered now as stastny. (One also gets a Sipphone Boing 747 number again in the background, which you also only find out looking up your own profile)
So I gave it a last try yesterday and first thing it did was downloading an update. Aha - and I could register ;-)
My first impression: a Skype clone - which is basically not a bad idea. If you clone something, take the best product. So it makes sense.
It also uses the ILBC codec, again not a bad idea, so one can expect a good sound quality.
But to clone something, it takes more: e.g. usability.
Since I had no buddies yet to call on Gizmo, and since you get 0,25 cents for out calls, I tried to call some numbers. I entered some numbers in the well known international format, also called E.164, e.g. +43xxxx.
Result: a nice announcement: "The number you have dialed is crash". Of course she did not say "crash", it just sounded like this.
Then I tried to call some sip URIs, e.g. on fwd and sipgate, same effect.
After thinking a bit about this, and since I know from earlier discussions whith Michael that he has the same understanding on numbering I have on baseball, I tried 01143xxx and voila, it worked.
Having this worked out, I also found that you may call another SIP user with entering the sip URI with SIP:email@example.com and not without. Entering such an acoount into the Buddy List does not work, it is not accepted.
I was even able to reach my sipphone account from FWD, still remebering that the URI to call sipphone is proxy01.sipphone.com, which also nobody tells you (or the siphone number). Note on the side: It is urgently needed that presence finally works between such domains.
One major drawback from my point of view: Gizmo is not ENUM-enabled.
Another issue I do not like is that voice-mail only works SER style by sending you the voice-mail in an e-mail attachment. I got used to the Skype-style in just clicking a botton in the call list.
InCalls use the combined FWD and Sipphone gateway e.g. at Washington 1 202 742 5739, which is not very user-friendly, because it is two-stage dialing. And it worked only with my FWD account, but not with Gizmo, because of a "codec mismatch". Gateway not understanding ILBC yet, or what? ;-)
There are of course other comments on Gizmo, the general impression is that most welcome the idea to have finally a non-propriatory SIP product similar to Skype, but that is is still very Beta.
It is really very Beta, my rant at the beginning is cause by the fact that I had to stop testing because the application stopped working. This is not quite true, it is hiding (lurking?). If you log in, it is showing up in the task bar as running, but you cannot see it. It is still running and working, it even rings, but it does not show up on the desktop. I re-booted Windows, but still the same. Maybe I have to re-install it, but here I will wait on the next version.
Andy and Phoneboy are quite positive and are awaiting additional clients:
Of course, if they want to go head-to-head with Skype, they're going to have to
get clients out there for Linux, Pocket PC, and Symbian. God, I wish I could
find a free SIP client for my Nokia 9500...
Stuart from the Skype Journal is raising some good and valid questions, the same I have:
- What would be the compelling reason to switch? From Skype to Gizmo?
- How and what opportunities does this provide for PBX integration; something many Skypers want?
- Is the fragmentation of the VON VoIP market only going to affect other SIP players and have no impact on Skype?
- Why aren't the "rates" for CallOut or CallIn competitive?
David is first blaming Niklas for being assymetric (BTW - this is quite a usual behaviour from all alternative providers (TDM and IP) - basically being in contact with the voice business turns you in a bellhead sooner than later).
He really likes the app on the Mac (ok, I missed this one) and then he is missing the find button - this is not true - you just have to use "search" - or they forgot this on the Mac.
At a recent conference, a Skype founder suggested "regulating the incumbents" to force others to carry Skype calls. Skype calls go over the public Internet, but are often carried on telephone company wiring (DSL) which Skype is worried could be configured to block their calls. They are proposing that the government should step in and demand that those telephone company networks carry Skype calls.
Meanwhile, Skype is refusing to carry anyone else's calls on their own phone system. They are engaging in exact behavior - they are worried about others trying. Skype can't have it both ways. If Skype wants to lock others out of their system, shouldn't the telephone companies have the same right also?
SIPphone.com really stresses the open standard and interoperability aspects of Gizmo and for my part, I couldn't agree more.
He continues: So in fact, Gizmo interoperates with any service, PBX, or network using SIP, i.e. every service out there except Skype.
One solution may be that Gizmo is also using the Skype API like the Pulver Communicator.
The other possibility is that SIP applications like Gizmo will finally overtake Skype, but this will not be easy.
Skype has shown that normal customes do not want to configure the client and attach it to a provider, they want to have a bundled product.

The 2013 Events That Should Be 2014 Lifetime Movies
It seems like just yesterday I was putting together my list of 2012 events that should be 2013 Lifetime movies. None of the movies I suggested actually ended up getting made, but hey, I'm not a psychic, although I did stay at a Holiday Inn last night (no I didn't).
But it's the end of 2013 now, which means we have a whole new year's worth of scandals and WTF moments to look back on. Lucky for Lifetime, plenty of things happened this year that would make excellent "inspired by a true story" Lifetime movies. And by "inspired by a true story" I mean ones where you can barely even recognize what event inspired it because it's been changed so much. You know, the ones they make at warp speed and release before the dust has even settled on the event itself. Better get a move on, Lifetime. The clock is ticking.
1. The Manti Te'o Hoax
(Photo: Getty Images)
We started this year with perhaps the most Lifetimey story possible. It has all the important elements, from a confusing plot to virtual lies to someone's reputation being dragged through the mud to a twist ending. Notre Dame football player Manti Te'o claimed to have dated a girl who turned out to not exist. A man later confessed to being behind the hoax, saying he was in love with Manti. If this isn't on Lifetime by next December, the network is really missing out.
2. Amanda Bynes' Breakdown
This was the year everyone started to realize that Amanda Bynes' erratic behavior was more serious than the typical "child star gone wild" pattern. After months of harassing celebrities on Twitter and becoming the butt of late night jokes, Amanda was arrested for throwing a bong out her window and was soon hospitalized and under the conservatorship of her parents. She's since left rehab after five months. I'm sure this movie will happen eventually, if not right away.
3. The Lance Armstrong Doping Scandal
Unfortunately, despite hoping beyond hope that Lifetime would swoop in and make a movie about cyclist Lance Armstrong's doping scandal and all the lies he told about it (Lifetime loves lies), J.J. Abrams got to it first and announced his own version. But I wouldn't put it past Lifetime to just make a movie about unicyclist Vance Legweak and call it a day.
4. Farrah Abraham's Sex Tape and Rehab Stint
Warnings about teenage pregnancy? Check. Examining the negative effects of fame? Check. The opportunity to reuse those very convincing fake boobs from Anna Nicole? Double check.
5. Emma Roberts and Evan Peters' Domestic Violence Incident
This was a weird story that came and went rather quickly. Back in July, actress Emma Roberts was arrested for domestic violence after a fight with her boyfriend and American Horror Story co-star Evan Peters. Evan chose not to press charges, and they seem to still be dating. It's still not totally clear what exactly happened, but that won't stop Lifetime from making it up.

For Tim and Nancy Muzyka, the lure of sandy beaches and crashing waves trumped headlines about mass murders.
The couple, who live in Edmonton, Alberta, bought a waterfront condominium in Mexico, ignoring the almost daily reports of drug-related violence in the country. They paid about $500,000 for a 185-square-meter, or 2,000-square-foot, apartment in Estrella del Mar.
The development, covering 330 hectares, or about 816 acres, is on a stretch of beach on the outskirts of Mazatlán, on the Pacific Coast. "I don't feel any less secure there than walking down the streets of Edmonton," Ms. Muzyka said.
Buyers like the Muzykas are rare in Mexico these days. As the government battles the drug cartels amid daily reports of carnage, sales of vacation homes are down 40 to 50 percent from their peak in 2007, some developers say. The violence is the latest in a series of bad news for the resort industry, including the global economic crisis and the 2009 outbreak of the H1N1 virus.
"It's gone from thriving to you could throw a bowling ball down the malecón," said Cindy Kidd, who markets fractional ownership properties in Marina Vallarta, a tourist development in Puerto Vallarta.Continue reading the main story
To reassure wary retirees and vacationers, many developers are adding high walls, iron gates and 24-hour patrols to their developments. Marketing brochures highlight security right next to the pictures of infinity pools and spas.
In some cases, builders sit down for sales meetings armed with the latest crime statistics, which show the violence is largely concentrated in the areas bordering the United States.
"It would be ridiculous to try to hide it," says Alejandro Yberri, chief executive of Costa Baja Resort in La Paz. "It's all over the news." There are signs, however, that tourists are starting to shrug off the violence. After plummeting in 2009, the number of air travelers to Mexico was up 20 percent in the first half of 2010, according to government data.
But hotel occupancy rates remain below 2004 levels, according to data from Smith Travel Research. And it continues to be a tough time to pitch Mexico as a spot to invest in a retirement home.
Buyers today are typically looking for a second home, not an investment, and they are usually already familiar with Mexico, developers said.
"People who are buying are people who have been to the destination at least five times," said Alex Cuttler, head of marketing and sales for Grupo Questro, a developer in Mexico City that is building Puerto Los Cabos, a marina and residential development in Baja California.
In many areas, Canadians and wealthy Mexicans have replaced Americans as the primary foreign buyers.
"The press has done a very good job of scaring Americans, but Canadians and Europeans don't seem as heavily influenced," said Mitch Keenan, director of Mexico International Real Estate, a property agency in Merida, on the north coast of Yucatán State.
Sanda Krslak and Steve Lemire of Vancouver paid about 235,000 Canadian dollars, or $228,000, for a two-bedroom, 242-square-meter house in Merida. They fell in love with the city, wandering the old streets at night. "We never felt uncomfortable," Ms. Krslak said. "The No.1 reason we decided was because the crime rate here is almost nonexistent."
The Mexico Tourism Board has announced a $55 million campaign to promote Mexico to North American tourists, using the phrase "Mexico: The Place You Thought You Knew." But many developers said they did not believe the effort went far enough to counter the headlines.
Several developers are forming their own coalition to promote the country as a safe destination. "They need to make the differentiation that not all Mexico is violent," said J. Patrick Butler, chairman of Club Acquisition, a resort developer based in Aurora, Colorado.
One of Mr. Butler's projects, El Dorado Ranch, is in San Felipe, 200 kilometers south of the U.S. border, in Baja California. The retirement and second-home project covers about 81,000 hectares on the Sea of Cortez, in an area that has seen little violence.
But Mr. Butler has increased security, including an arrangement with the police to add patrols. And he has dropped prices about 15 percent on home lots, which cost about $40,000 for 1,000 square meters, or a quarter acre.
In sales pitches Mr. Butler usually stresses the value of Mexican property, which is often less expensive than comparable areas in Central America and the Caribbean. "We try to point out the positives, the cost of living, the quality of life," Mr. Butler said.
Although many developers continue to struggle, Mr. Butler has seen an uptick in activity. In San Felipe, he said, he has sold 25 lots in the past 90 days.
In Puerto Escondido, on the Pacific Coast, Cary Mullen said he sold 15 apartments at his Vivo Resorts Palmarito in the past year, with three sales pending. Units in the project, which is in the early stages of construction, usually sell for $250,000 to $300,000, with studios priced at $60,000, he said.
Puerto Escondido is a quiet town on the southwest coast, well known among surfers, but Mr. Mullen, a former member of the Canadian Olympic ski team, prefers to raise the violence issue early in sales discussions. "Until you talk about it, they can't hear anything else," Mr. Mullen said.Continue reading the main story

Project description
About the project: This is for a Personal Trainer that works at Fitness First in Australia. He specializes in weight training, nutrition, weight loss, professional lifting, and cardio. Logo Description: FITT-n-Physical F - Frequency I - Intensity T - Time T - Type Physical – practicality The Logo requirements: A simple, but well manicured professional logo. Wants to incorporate a man & woman working out into the logo, but in a clean style. If you can incorporate the two figures into the logo name, that would be ideal, but if it does not come out right, please find a way to incorporate in another pleasing manner. Please try "FnP" as the main "logo" element and then put "FITT-n-Physical" below it. Also please use "FITT-n-Physical" as the main logo to so we can see what looks better between the full name and just the acronyms. Tagline: Health-Physical-Lifestyle-Fitness Logo Colours: 2 colour logo, colours can be design specific but must look good Black on White and White on Black cards and apparel. But please use some nice soft, but semi vivid colours so it can be used on the website/business cards/flyers. Please see the attached image as an EXAMPLE of blending the man/woman figures, but please do not copy this and be original with our concept. Logo usage: - Corp identity (Business Card, Letterhead, email signature) - Website - Invoices/emails - Print/Brochure Website (In Development): You can see the website here, it's still in development and we're not waiting on the logo to finalize the colours and rest of the layout. http://fittnphysical.timothylavelle.com/ If you have any questions, please ask and I will answer as soon as I am able. We are based in Sydney Australia so our time zone could be quite opposite of yours.
Thanks rajagee. This is a good first start, but we're looking to see male/female physique in the logo and solid colours. The trainer works with both men and woman and the logo needs to represent this. Keep em coming! Cheers
Dear CH, Thank you so much for feedback i am working on new design & upload soon !
hey Musaver, thanks mate but we need to have the male/female element in the logos. It's imperative to the trainer.
hi ch thanks for the feedback, I will keep working on new ideas and post it soon as possible thanks...
Hi again musaver, pretty clever with the weights being used on the F/P and I like how it looks on the bottom right hand corner, but its missing the male/female element which is important to the trainer. Would love to see more entries.
Hi musaver, not a bad entry, but we're looking to show the male/female component of this professional training. I do like the creativity of the logo/fnp usage, but would like to some more entries. Thanks!
Hi relz, thanks for the entry mate. While this looks ok, it follows too closely to the example I had provided and I had explicitly stated we didn't want copies of that version. On the other hand, I do like the typefaces as they are nice and clean. Can you come up with some new design efforts? Much appreciated.
Hey mate - this is looking good! Can you keep going in this direction, but possible try some other figures in the middle, and maybe other variations of the text placement with the logo?
Hi kris - thanks for the entry mate! This isn't bad at all, but not a fan of the ribbon in front. Can you try this w/o the ribbon and the text elsewhere, but also a few other variants going in this direction. Cheers
Hi relz, this looks like FnT, not FnP... was that intentional?
Dear Ch, Just submitted entry #11 using "FnT" with the elements of strong arm of male and female into it. Any feedback and suggestions are very much appreciated. Thank you.
This one isn't bad at all Like the elipse encircles the two arms. Are you able to try and create a logo using FnP and the requested artwork.
Hi relz, thanks for this mate. Not a bad concept, but we need to see the male/female aspect for it.
Hi kris... the badge looks to old school, like from the medieval times. I don't think this fits along with the message we want to portray. Can you keep at it mate? Cheers
Hey mate - liking that you're showing some other color options for the logo. Some good colour choices! Is it too much to ask to see if you can try an alternative logo now? Something that portrays strength and health? Not sure how else to explain it, sorry mate. But seeing what you've done here and on other logos, I trust your creative mind will find something. Cheers mate!
Yeah, You are allright #22 is the best than the my blue badge, :), I´m thinking about that. Can you rate this, I hope to have more time to do the work more better, maybe do I get more of an idea badge. Thank you most, krisdesign
Thanks Mate! Can you give me two more versions with the tag line done: 1) All uppercase 2) All lowercase Keep FITT-n-physical as it is
Hey mate, on this one, can you try FITT in uppercase and PHYSICAL in lower case?
Hey Mate - Can you re-do this one, leave the top 2 logos as is, but the bottom two on the black BG, make those solid colours, no gradients, much like in #12, the bottom right hand logo. Cheers
|--|TWG {*wrote*}:|--| hi ch Please check some changes with your updated brief.thanks.....Hey Mate - Can you re-do this one, leave the top 2 logos as is, but the bottom two on the black BG, make those solid colours, no gradients, much like in #12, the bottom right hand logo. Cheers
Thanks mate - Just sent them off, trainer also asked for lowercase versions, which I've commented above
Thanks for the quick changes mate, can we also try this with the company name in lowercase? Then one with the company name and tagline in lowercase?
Hi, here are the corrections #35 and #36, new badge, maybe good? Thanks, krisdesign
|--|krisdesign {*wrote*}:|--| Hi Kris, thanks again for these submissions, appreciate the efforts! The logos are not bad, but it still gives me an impression of medieval days and it doesn't portray the message we want to display with the logo.

The cardiovascular circuit
The cardiovascular circuit comprises a special pool, long and narrow in the shape of a 'U' and divided into two parts: the first, the longer, contains hot thermal waters and the other cold water. Movement from one pool to the next involves climbing up and down a series of small steps.

2011 Nissan Juke SL AWD: How About a Gamer's Version?
November 16, 2011
I checked in with my brother, an owner of the 2011 Nissan Juke SL, to see if he was still happy with his car purchase. First words he IM'd me? "Yeah, they already are talking about the new Juke-R and it's pissing me off."
OK, he was half kidding about that but he was irritated how fast things get updated and a la Apple products you're left feeling like your car is already out of date. Since tech-savvy bro is one of those types who suffer from gadget-lust, always wanting the newest technology, he's sensitive to this more than most people. "I wish this car could morph into the next model...every year," he went on.
But how awesome would that be if you could update your car as easily as you could update the software in your iPhone or an online video game? (Reflashing aside, which requires a pro to do it.) Maybe one day. As it is, my brother's suggestion for the next Juke remodel? "I wish they put the car driving modes on the wheel so it would be more like playing video games. It sucks to have to look to push for Sport or Normal, but I've gotten used to it."
Judging by the 18.5 mpg his car is getting (EPA average is 27, Edmunds averages 22.3), sounds like he's driving it like he's in a video game. "I've been driving mostly in Sport mode. Only way to get through these streets!"

Here's a second idea (if you read yesterday's post for the first idea) for a treat you can pack in your lunch pail and take to work.
It's Jello Surprise! LOL! No, really, it's good for you and there are a variety of ways to make this refreshing taste treat a sweet desert to eat during a long work day!
I began making jello, the plain kind, when I read Dr. Axe reporting that gelatin is good for your leaky gut. Then I discovered it was an easy way to liven up my lunches I take to work so I have a treat every day and don't feel deprived.
Here is my first step where I've added hot water into a bowl of four jello packets, the unflavored variety, and added several packets of stevia. After stirring several minutes, with my Mickey Mouse whisk, a powerful thought hit me. I got the idea to place a tea-bag into the hot water with the mixture to add flavor, and health properties of green tea!
Knox Gelatin, Unflavored, 32 Count, Net Wt 8-Ounce
Here is what it looked like, and now it sits in the kitchen where it will cool down just a bit. Then I will add frozen fruit, stir it in, then pop into the fridge for three hours and let it set!
I have also used lemon juice and squirted it into the cooled down mixture to add vitamin C. The ideas are endless for what you can add into these jello treats!
For any of you single men out there who don't pack a lunch and you want to save money so you can take your pretty girlfriend out on a date, you can spoon the jello into plastic containers and take it to work! More economical than buying lunch at the drive-thru every day and make your mamma proud you are eating correctly, for a change!
Don't forget to buy the inexpensive blue ice packs to put in your freezer, and then add one to your lunch box to keep these frozen deserts cold in your lunch bags!

Jose Mourinho targets Sir Alex Ferguson's Champions League record
Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho is targeting Sir Alex Ferguson's record of the most Champions League matches as a manager.
The Portuguese has taken charge of 133 games in the competition, 61 short of Ferguson's all-time high figure, winning it twice - with Porto in 2004 and Inter Milan in 2010.
He returns to the Champions League with United later this month looking for an extended stay to give him a run at Ferguson's landmark.
"I know that I am in the top five or six but I'm quite far, especially from the top one but I will fight hard to go for that record," he told MUTV.
"Last season, I lost a season in the chase for this record (as United won the Europa League) but Manchester United is where Manchester United has to be and I'm really happy with that.
"But the Champions League is where we want to be and maybe I'm too ambitious, I don't know, but I want to be the manager with more matches (in the Champions League).
"It's good for the players, it's good for me, it's good for the club.
"The Champions League night is a unique experience for everyone. I have some players without that great experience, I think it will be fabulous for them and the fans to be back in the Champions League and to have the initial three matches to be played at Old Trafford, I think is fantastic."
United face Benfica, Swiss champions Basel and CSKA Moscow when the group stage begins next week.

Victor in India Promises to Make Country Strong
NEW DELHI — Narendra Modi, the man expected to become India's next prime minister, swept into the capital on Saturday morning in a triumphal procession to the colonial bungalows here that still serve as India's power center and promised that he "will try to make India self-reliant and strong."
Mr. Modi, who engineered a historic victory over India's long-governing Gandhi family, was surrounded at several places along the route by well-wishers who chanted paeans to him. When he stopped to greet the crowds, they showered him with rose petals.
Mr. Modi gave a brief speech at the headquarters of the Bharatiya Janata Party, which on Friday won a decisive majority in Parliament. It is the first time in India's history that any party other than the Indian National Congress Party, led by the Gandhi family, has managed such a feat.
"I am thankful to you for the way in which you received me with so much gratitude from the airport," Mr. Modi said.
After a meeting of top party members, Mr. Modi departed for Varanasi, the holiest city in Hinduism, where he won election to the lower house of Parliament. He went to the famous Kashi Vishwanath temple, which is devoted to Lord Shiva, a virile, muscular and meditative god. He then went to the banks of the Ganges, India's holiest river and one Mr. Modi has promised to clean. In some spots, the Ganges is little more than an open sewer.
One of the onlookers, Rajeev Bind, 26, had come from a village nearly 30 miles away from Varanasi because Mr. Modi "is the only politician who can make this country strong and powerful."
"All politicians say that they will do something but when he speaks you believe it," Mr. Bind said. "He makes you believe."
The electricity in much of Varanasi was disrupted Friday as the election returns made clear the size of Mr. Modi's victory, and the power failure led many to wonder whether Mr. Modi could truly fix India's huge problems.
While Mr. Modi was accepting congratulations in New Delhi, not far away Manmohan Singh, who has been India's prime minister for 10 years, delivered a brief farewell address, tendered his resignation and wished the new government well.
"I owe everything to this country, this great land of ours where I, an underprivileged child of Partition, was empowered enough to rise and occupy high office," Mr. Singh said. "It is both a debt that I will never be able to repay and a decoration that I will always wear with pride."
Mr. Singh will retire to a simple bungalow and a $1,000-a-month pension. He is widely acknowledged to be an honest man who presided over a government riddled with corruption. And his humble acceptance of his role as a seat-warmer for Rahul Gandhi, the scion of the country's leading political family, was eventually seen as undercutting the institution of the prime minister's office.
Hopes of a Generation Ride on Indian Vote
Despite a period of rising incomes, a tide of economic discontent helped make Narendra Modi the prime minister-elect.
It is an office that Mr. Modi has promised to restore, and in his own speech he said his victory "belongs to 1.25 billion Indians."
Among those listening to Mr. Modi was Byas Tiwari, 68, who struggled to make his way through the throng of party supporters. Mr. Tiwari took a train on Friday night from a distant village in a neighboring state so that he could see Mr. Modi with his own eyes. He said that he had not eaten or bathed for nearly 30 hours.
Mr. Modi "is an honest politician, and I had prayed to God to give him a huge mandate," Mr. Tiwari said.
Like hundreds of millions of others, Mr. Tiwari has high hopes for Mr. Modi. For instance, Mr. Tiwari said he believed that Mr. Modi would provide pensions to old people like him.
In fact, Mr. Modi's party has largely promised to end the redistribution efforts that have long been the accepted political formula of the Gandhi family, policies that have not been terribly beneficial for India's economy. Disgust with the governing Congress Party was so intense that Mr. Modi managed to avoid having to detail many of his policies during the campaign, but expectations are so high that he may face keen disappointment if he does not rapidly improve the country's struggling economy.
Nearly a million people in India join the search for work every month, and the economy is not creating nearly enough jobs for them all. Half of India's population is under the age of 25. Mr. Modi must find a way to accommodate this youth bulge, and fairly quickly, or Friday's electoral earthquake may not be the last.
Hari Kumar and Vishnu Varma contributed reporting from New Delhi, and Betwa Sharma from Varanasi, India.

Lost Knowledge - Hand Implements - The Silver Spoon
Call For The Need Of A Perfect Spoon
I once read an article entitled "Toward a New Appreciation of Craft" by Pam Grundy, published over on Eye On Life Magazine originally. The article is no longer available but her call for everyone to make their own perfect spoon struck a note that rang a gong in my mind. Since then I've been thinking a lot about her call for the need of a perfect spoon, because I'm very doubtful that the majority of people in America today have any idea where to start to make their perfect spoon -- given all of the lost knowledge floating around.
You see, it really bothers me that most people wouldn't have a clue as to how to even begin to make a spoon, or anything other most useful tool, that we all take for granted these days. If they can't go buy it, they would not be able to improvise, create, or reinvent. That has me thinking about all of the lost knowledge that several generations of people living today are lacking despite our modern times. That led me to wondering how many people contemplate what industrial design and design trends really mean.
Every manufactured article that man uses, from an airplane to a phone, owes its shape or form in part to the industrial designer. The glass you used this morning, the car that carried you to work or school, and the lamp you will turn out tonight when you go to bed -- all had to be designed.
Someone, at some point, had to plan or create their shapes or forms, decide upon the right materials to be used in making them and select the colors that would be most attractive and practical for each.
Industrial design means the planning and design of manufactured articles. Fountain pens, kitchen cabinets, railroad cars, television sets, cameras, cell phones, and toys -- all show the influence of the industrial designer's talent. Without his aid and imagination, our modern cars might sill look like a carriage on wheels and our lamps like a stick with a bulb at the end.
Works of art, such as paintings and sculptures are designed too, but with the aim of answering spiritual rather than practical needs. They are not made to serve a useful purpose in the sense that an ordinary mixing bowl fulfills a necessary function.
The design of every day articles is guided or should be guided by their uses. The chair which is uncomfortable or unsafe is a bad chair regardless of how much effort has been spent to give it an attractive or interesting appearance. Good design always combines efficiency with pleasant looks and touch.
The idea of design for use is as old as man himself. In the earlier days of human development, progress was indeed slow as compared with the advances of the last three hundred years.
What Every Caveman and Woman Knew
Nevertheless, the caveman who realized his chunk of flint could be used more comfortably and efficiently if the grasping end were shaped into a handle -- had, in a sense, become a designer.
On his next stone tool he may have fashioned consciously a suitable comfortable grip and gave the implement at the same time a more refined appearance. He was definitely making progress in the design field.
The Ordinary Spoon
Some basic implements, such as the spoon, have changed their forms but little over thousands of years. Once the spoon with a handle was developed, the basic form could hardly be improved upon, though it might undergo variations.
The chief reason why the forms of such objects as spoons have changed so little through the ages is that man himself has not altered. The forms and proportions of the human body and the way it moves remain the same. Man's senses of sight and touch and his basic needs are not very different from what they were thousands of years ago.
So some of the things that early man made to increase the comfort and pleasure of living have needed comparatively little improvement. True, there have been changes in the way articles are made, and new materials have been introduced. However, attempts to change radically forms that have proved right and beautiful for their purposes from the very beginning are often doomed to failure.
Design for use is concerned not only with the form and color of an object, but also with the texture of its surface. Some art critics feel that surface treatment was at its best in the early days of civilization.
Then, man may have been guided in his choice of texture simply by his sense of touch, which told him when a smooth surface was right for one kind of article, a rough surface for another.
Early man did not adorn his pots and weapons just to make them handsome. Details of ornamentation had a deep meaning for him. Ornamentation sometimes served as a historical record when it told the story of a tribe or people -- picturing its legends and great events.
In this form, ornament was used not only on everyday utensils. At later states of civilization, ornamentation was used more and more for decorative purposes only.

What a fabulous hub and I'm totally with you on Pam's articles over at Eye on Life-- awesome stuff
Very fascinating and interesting hub, Jerilee! I never knew spoons could be so captivating... I admit I am very picky when it comes to spoons, but didn't know their history! Now I will appreciate all spoons and not descriminate them just because they don't suit my style! Great job!
What an interesting hub! You always write so beautifully and make everything sound interesting even if it's just a spoon.
Maybe I should not say just a spoon because spoons are indeed very useful. How else can we eat soup without the spoon?
You know what, one of the things I learned as a child was to make spoons out of the husk of coconuts. That's how we were able to eat the flesh of young coconuts when we were out in the field and don't have spoons.
Thanks for this hub Jerilee.
Excellent story about an everyday utensil. My mother use to collect small spoons from every place she went. I love the comment about people not knowing how to make a spoon if they were stranded or lost with only their wits to keep them alive. Great topic and pics.
Very imaginative choice of subject, and well researched. Thank you for an interesting hub.
A very interesting article and pictures Jerilee! Enjoyed it.
Great article and videos. Thanks for sharing!
Theank you for writing such an interesting hub. I enjoyed reading it.
Great Hub - I used to collect old spoons particularly wooden ones. I've never seen a shell spoon but now I want one. Thanks.

I've become interested in the idea of generating a film programmatically using pan/tilt/zoom surveillance cameras. To that end I've started putting together some processing code that can read a live camera stream and is programmed with a variety of shots (as of now, a zoom, blur, and quick pan). The application can decide what shots to take, and when to make recordings – thereby automating the editing and the shooting process. The code is here on github.
I have two experiments so far. The first finds faces, zooms in, and then makes a recording between 3 and 5 seconds. You can view it here.
The second experiment pans to coordinates based on Perlin noise and then holds a shot based on a sine wave function. In this first video my subjects don't realize they're being filmed. In the second video you can see their reactions as I tell them what's been happening.

Dr. J.C. Cannaday served the Mesquite Independent School District for 33 years. Not only was he known for his outstanding work ethic and administrative skills, but he was admired and loved for his kindness, even temperament, equal treatment of all students and colleagues, and his love for his fellow human beings.
Dr. Cannaday was from the Mount Vernon area. He graduated from Southern Methodist University, where he was distinguished as both a basketball star and a scholar. Dr. Cannaday was employed by MISD first as a teacher and coach, and then for 13 years as the principal of Mesquite High School.
In 1964, Dr. Cannaday was named Assistant Superintendent of MISD, where he remained until his death in 1982. Dr. Ralph Poteet said, "He was a true gentleman and a top notch administrator." Dr. Cannaday supervised the secondary schools and worked as an essential part of a team that developed the first policy handbook for MISD and the first Code of Conduct Book developed for Mesquite high school students. Under his watch, MISD developed its first vocational schools, ROTC, and honors courses.
The MISD Board of Trustees named Dr. J.C. Cannaday Elementary School in honor of Dr. J.C. Cannaday. It has become a living memorial to his high ideals, educational leadership, and years of service to the youth of our community. Dr. Cannaday was truly an outstanding leader!

*I have a whole bunch of questions below. Just a cautionary note, my post is VERY lengthy.*
Hi all,
I am in a science professional program and am thinking about what I should be doing after graduation (>2 years away). I have an inquisitive nature, and it seems to me my fellow classmates (sadly) don't have as much of an appreciation of the material we are learning. I have thought about the area of scientific research before enrolling in this program, and now after learning the course material, I am eager to really try out the research arena of my field and apply what I know/learned.
The program that I am in allows me to take courses outside of my department. I want to make the most efficient use of my electives and resources while I am in my program. I have many questions brewing in my mind for a while now; I hope perhaps people on this forum could share their insight and help me out.
1. It is known that MDs could be scientific researchers without a research doctoral degree conducting bench research. I want to say while I am not in a medical program, I am pursuing a clinical professional degree. I am not sure if I am more interested in bench or clinical research, though as of this moment I am leaning towards bench. If I do go into bench research in a related area, is it a necessity that I pursue a MS or a Ph.D?
Since I do have the ability to take courses outside of my basic curriculum, I am thinking of enrolling in some graduate level classes in the same field. If I plan my schedule right, I could take the all core courses required of the M.S. requirement (minus the MS thesis, journal clubs, etc) as my professional electives. So what I am looking at would be the completion of the didactic portion of a MS program.
2. I want to know is: what does a MS title mean to potential employers when they are screening applicants? Does it mean mostly the applicant has taken advanced level courses to employers? Or does it mean more to employers that the applicant knows how to read scientific articles, write a thesis, etc? Is this viewed differently by hiring personnel in academia, industry, government?
3. I am also interested in the area of public health. I have this romantized desire of doing work that could benefit the population (not sure if I want to be in a non-profit or for-profit organization at this point). I just have this dream that I could save the world…
a. Is a Masters in Public Health necessary to work in the public sectors (ie, CDC, WHO, Epidemic Intelligence Service, etc)?
b. Would taking some public health classes hinder me from being considered in industry?
c. I am in an institution that is highly towards academia, does that make me a less favorable candidate in industry?
4. What does certification (ie. not a M.S or a more formal, advanced degree) mean to employers? I have the opportunity to fulfill one of these as well.
5. I am interested in drug development and have this desire to help people combat illnesses through research. For those with academic, government and/or industry experiences in the bench sciences, could you briefly compare the work environment, expectations and scientific eligibility requirements of each setting?
6. Do employers only look for certain degree title when it comes to hiring, and perhaps not the broad knowledge and skills the applicants might possess but not easily identified with the completion of a degree (a MPH or a MS in my case)?
Thank you for reading it this far!

Lecture 11: Algae, Bryophytes and Ferns: Lecture 11: Algae, Bryophytes and Ferns Kingdom Protista: Algae Red algae, diatoms, kelps, dinoflagellates, green algae Significance of algae to humans Kingdom Plantae: moving onto land Features and challenges for living on land Bryophytes Ferns ALGAE: ALGAE Algae belong to the Kingdom Protista Algae are eukaryotes (cells have organelles) Algae are mostly photosynthetic, like plants: Have 4 kinds of photosynthetic pigments Many accessory pigments – blue, red, brown, gold Require moist environments because they lack a waxy cuticle (remember: cuticle prevents water loss in terrestrial plants) General features of Algae: General features of Algae Can be microscopic or macroscopic: size ranges from bacteria size to 50 meters long! Lack vascular (conducting) tissues – No xylem or phloem No true roots, stems or leaves Modes of sexual reproduction: Both sexual and asexual Algae illustrate the importance of photosynthesis to the Earth's ecology! Diversity of Algae: Diversity of Algae There are millions of algal species, but we'll focus in these five groups: Diatoms Dinoflagellates Red Algae Kelps or Brown Algae Green algae 1. Diatoms: 1. Diatoms Diatoms: Division Bacillariophyta Large group of algae (many unidentified). Relatively recently evolved group Habitat: Diatoms live in cool oceans Structure: mostly unicellular, have silica in their cell walls Diatoms: Diatoms Very important for aquatic food chains: they provide phytoplankton sun Phytoplankton Zooplankton small fish larger fish mollusks whales Can reproduce asexually for many generations, then sexually 3. Red Algae: 3. Red Algae Red algae: Division Rhodophyta (4000 species) Are some of the oldest eukaryotic organisms on earth (2 billion year old fossils) Abound in tropical, warm waters Act as food and habitat for many marine species Structure: from thin films to complex filamentous membranes Why are Red algae red?: Why are Red algae red? Accessory pigments! Phycobilins mask the Chlorophyll a – thus they look red. Due to these accessory pigments, red algae can photosynthesize in deeper waters (at different light wavelengths). Red algae: Red algae Commercial uses: Carrageenan used for making ice cream, jellies, syrups, breads. Also for lotions, toothpaste, pharmaceutical jellies. Agar for growing bacteria and fungi for research purposes. As food. 4. Kelps or Brown Algae: 4. Kelps or Brown Algae Kelps: Division Phaeophyta Closely related to diatoms, also a recent group… but look very different from diatoms! Habitat: rocky coasts in temperate zones or open seas (cold waters) Structure: multicellular only Holdfast, stipe, blade, air bladder Up to 50 meters long 5. Green Algae: 5. Green Algae Division: Chlorophyta Largest and most diverse group of algae Habitat: found mostly in fresh waters and on land. Float in rivers, lakes, reservoirs, creeks. Can also live on rocks, trees, soil Green algae: Green algae Sea lettuce (Ulva) lives in salt waters along the coast. Structure of green algae: from Single cells (Micrasterias) Filaments Colonies (Volvox) Thalli (leaf-like shape) Green algae: Green algae Terrestrial plants arose from a green algal ancestor Both have the same photosynthetic pigments (Chlorophyll a and b). Some green algae have a cell wall made of cellulose Cells divide similarly Benefits of Algae: Benefits of Algae Beneficial algae: They are the base of the aquatic food chain – photosynthetic organisms Lichens: algae and fungi symbiosis Also serve as shelters: Kelps form underwater forests; red alga form reefs Harmful algae: Harmful algae Excessive growth of algae causes: Clogging of water ways, streams, filters… makes the water taste bad. Can be toxic to animals "Red tides" caused by dinoflagellates Commercial uses of algae: Commercial uses of algae Algin – a thickening agent for food processing (brown algae) Carrageenan – foods, puddings, ice cream, toothpaste (red algae) Iodine (brown algae) Agar – for growth media used in research (red algae) As food – red and brown algae As plant fertilizers Diatomaceous earth: used for filtering water, insulating, soundproofing Kingdom Plantae: Kingdom Plantae When moving from water to land, both plants and animals faced the same challenges, but evolved different ways to deal with them Plants evolved from algae: Plants evolved from algae Algae cannot survive on land (only in moist environments) Plants had to adapt (evolve) characteristics that would allow them to survive and live on dry land Cooksonia is the earliest known land plant (fossil) It's non-vascular and similar to today's bryophytes Ancestor of plants: Green Algae: Ancestor of plants: Green Algae The ancestor of land plants was probably a green alga: something like modern Coleochaete 1. They both have same photosynthetic pigments (Chlorophyll a & b, carotenes, etc.) 2. Both use starch to store photosynthetic products 3. Both have cellulose in their wall 4. Both have 'alternation of generations'… 5. Both form a cell plate during cell division Kingdom Plantae: Kingdom Plantae Evolutionary tree of plants From primitive advanced traits Bryophytes Green alga ancestor Ferns Gymnosperms Angiosperms Vascular Seeds Terrestrial Flowers Living on land: Living on land Several environmental challenges had to be met by early plants in order to live on land… A. OBTAINING ENOUGH WATER Plants evolved roots to anchor the plant Roots to absorb water and dissolved minerals B. PREVENTING WATER LOSS: B. PREVENTING WATER LOSS Plants evolved a cuticle – waxy layer Evolution of multicellular gametangia (sex organs) – helped protect gametes from drying out. Evolution of a resistant coat on spores that prevents drying out C. GETTING ENOUGH ENERGY: C. GETTING ENOUGH ENERGY In land, plants obtained enough sunlight for photosynthesis Different strategies for obtaining light: Growing taller and above other plants – plants began to evolve support cells Others had to adapt to lower light intensities D. Photosynthesis/water dilemma: D. Photosynthesis/water dilemma Problems – plants need pores for gas exchange for photosynthesis, but open pores (stomata) allow water to leave (95% water taken is lost) Solution – stomata open during the day (for photosynthesis gas exchange) and close during the night (to allow plant to recover from water loss) E. MULTICELLULARITY: E. MULTICELLULARITY Evolved in algae Advantages: root better, protect gametes, grow tall to obtain sunshine Disadvantage: getting water to all cells Plants evolved vascular tissues, xylem and phloem F. SEXUAL REPRODUCTION: F. SEXUAL REPRODUCTION Algae have motile gametes and single sex organs Land plants developed air-borne dissemination of desiccation-resistant stage Land plants developed multicellular sex organs Sexual reproduction gives plants genetic variability – enable them to adapt better to their environments G. LIFE CYCLE: G. LIFE CYCLE Algae, water dependent life cycle water independent life cycle in land plants Plants developed dryness-resistant gametophytes (spores) or zygotes (seeds) Smaller size primitive larger size plants Dominant gametophyte stage (n) dominant sporophyte stage (2n) Life cycles: animals vs. plants: Life cycles: animals vs. plants Animals like humans, live in the 2n stage. Dominant 2n stage Single celled gametes are 1n 2 n = 46 1 n = 23 (meiosis) Plant life cycle: alternation of generations: Plant life cycle: alternation of generations Plants spend part of their life cycle in the haploid (1 n) stage, and part in the diploid (2 n) stage – both stages are multicellular Sporophyte generation (2n) Gametophyte generation (1n) Slide31: Plants display an alternation of haploid and diploid phases in their life cycle. (see text and image on page 139 in the textbook "Plants and Society") BRYOPHYTES: BRYOPHYTES Bryophytes include mosses, liverworts Non-vascular plants, i.e. they don't have xylem or phloem Advancements over algae: cuticle, multicellular gametangia, stomata Habitat: they require moist environment for active growth and sexual reproduction Bryophyte life cycle: Bryophyte life cycle Exhibit alternation of generations: they have a gametophyte and sporophyte generation (See text image on pg. 140 please) Bryophytes: Bryophytes Gametophyte generation (1n) is dominant Has green "leafy stems" and root-like structures called rhizoids, for anchoring (not true roots!) Have stomata and cuticle Bryophytes lack vascular tissue – do not have xylem or phloem. This absence of vascular tissue prevents bryophytes from having true roots, stems or leaves. Also, lack of conducting tissue limits their size. Bryophyte reproduction: Bryophyte reproduction Gametophyte plant produces multicellular sex organs: Archegonia – produces eggs (female) Antheridia – produces motile sperm (male) Outer layers protects and prevents drying Motile sperm must swim to archegonia. Bryophyte reproduction: Bryophyte reproduction Sporophyte occurs after egg is fertilized by sperm (2 n) Sporophyte grows in the archegonium of the gametophyte plant – it's dependent on it Mature sporophyte consists of: Foot (point of attachment) Seta (stalk) Capsule (spore case) Bryophytes: Bryophytes Sporocytes within the Sporophyte undergo meiosis to produce a single kind of haploid spore If spore lands on suitable place, it will germinate into a protonema, the initial stage of the gametophyte plant. Bryophyte significance: Bryophyte significance Bryophytes are small and inconspicuous, but important part of the biosphere Food for mammals, birds Important to prevent soil erosion along streams Commercially – peat moss (Sphagnum) is used as fuel, soil conditioner, by florists FERNS: FERNS An important group of plants – 10,000 species exist Ferns have developed vascular tissue Habitat: Moist tropics, woodlands, streambanks Also exhibit Alternation of Generations, but… The diploid Sporophyte generation is dominant (larger and more visible) The haploid Gametophyte is small & short lived. Fern life cycle: dominant sporophyte: Fern life cycle: dominant sporophyte Sporophyte generation (diploid) is dominant, larger Sporophyte has well developed vascular system (xylem, phloem) (See image on page 141 of the textbook please) Fern sporophyte morphology: Fern sporophyte morphology Fern sporophyte has fronds (leaves) Young fronds are called fiddleheads They also have an underground horizontal stem called the rhizome True roots arise from the rhizome Fronds: Fronds Ferns have complex leaves called fronds, for photosynthesis and reproduction Under the fronds, spores are produced in sporangia in clusters called sori (sorus = singular) In sporangia, meiosis occurs producing haploid spores Fern Gametophyte generation (1n): Fern Gametophyte generation (1n) Single spore grows into the gametophyte plant Heart-shaped called prothallus, very small. Archegonia and antheridia produced in prothallus Female gametophytes produce a chemical that induces spores to produce male gametophytes around it Fern gametophyte : Fern gametophyte Antheridium produces motile sperm that swim to the archegonia's egg – fusion occurs and the diploid sporophyte generation begins Zygote develops into a new embryo – that eventually grows into mature sporophyte Significance of ferns: Significance of ferns Ecologically important: Hold and form soil to prevent erosion As food – fern fiddleheads eaten in Hawaii, Japan, Philippines – very nutritious and delicious! As ornamental plants Coal formation from ancient ferns

North American Smaller Companies
The North American Smaller Companies sector is dedicated to those funds that invest wholly or mainly in smaller companies in North America. The definition of what constitutes small varies between funds. Generally smaller companies are considered to be more risky than larger ones, possibly because their product and customer bases are less well diversified and they can find it harder to get finance but a smaller companies enthusiast would tell you that smaller companies are more dynamic and have greater growth potential than larger ones.

It's hard to believe that the criminal justice system in the United States can be so flawed that innocent people are convicted of crimes they didn't commit, but it's almost impossible to fathom that some of those innocent people actually agreed to plea bargains—reduced sentences in exchange for agreeing to a conviction. It makes no sense. Who would do that? Why?
Yet it happens. No one knows how often. Nearly 11% of the nation's 350 DNA exonerations involve people who pleaded guilty to serious crimes they didn't commit, and the National Registry of Exonerations has identified 360 cases of innocent people who pleaded guilty. When that many innocent people are agreeing to their own wrongful convictions, it is time to recognize that something is very wrong. The plea system is not a bargain, it's a problem--at least for the innocent.
A system that forces or induces innocent people to plead guilty is unfair, unjust and runs counter to the Constitution's guarantee of a right to a fair trial. Prosecutors who threaten scared youth with the death penalty; incentives that make a plea to something you didn't do seem like a rational choice; defense lawyers who give terrible advice; and judges who fail to serve as a check on the truth all benefit from pleas which keep an overburdened system moving. And there's little incentive for challenging the status quo. If every person charged with a crime demanded a trial, the system would be completely broken in a matter of hours. Our system relies on plea bargains.
Realistically, there are no easy solutions to fixing the problem. But for the sake of the many innocent people trapped by a broken system, we must do something. The Innocence Project and more than 50 members of the Innocence Network across the country are committed to exposing this problem. Over the next months, you will hear first-hand accounts from the wrongly convicted who explain the overwhelming pressure to enter guilty pleas to crimes they didn't commit, and we will provide commentary and suggestions from experts on how to begin fixing the problem.
But change only comes when the the public demands it. We invite you to join our campaign to fix America's guilty plea problem. Help us spread the word about this injustice, and when the time is right, call on lawmakers to protect the innocent who are trapped in an overwhelmed and broken system.
You'll receive breaking updates on ways you can help pass legislation to prevent wrongful convictions.
The Innocence Project is a national litigation/public policy organization dedicated to exonerating wrongfully convicted individuals through DNA testing, and reforming the criminal justice system to prevent future injustice.

Talking Points: Jesse Jackson
There's an interesting report about Jesse Jackson that's not getting a lot of play, but I think you should know about it, and that is the subject of this evening's Talking Points memo.
As you may know, The Factor has been reporting that Reverend Jackson raises a lot of money by threatening to give some large corporations bad publicity unless they do business with his friends.
The New York Post is reporting that Jackson asked Deutsche Banc to settle a pay dispute with a man named Kevin Ingram, who was asking 20-million bucks from that bank. Ingram didn't get that much, but apparently, did settle with Deutsche Banc for a nice chunk of change and then donated more than a hundred thousand dollars to Jackson's non-profit organizations. Jackson's spokesperson has confirmed this.
Subsequently, Mr. Ingram was arrested in Florida by federal authorities and charged with money laundering in an illegal arms deal. Nice. Now this story provides more evidence that Jesse Jackson has been doing some very questionable things under his non-profit banner and that the federal and state authorities are allowing Jackson to do pretty much what he wants to do without strict oversight.
The importance of this is that you and I would not get the same deal from the government. Reverend Jackson is getting special treatment, and that treatment allows him to access millions of dollars. This is flat-out wrong, of course, and I could run down the litany of evidence we've already given you, but I'll save it.
Talking Points will continue to document Jesse Jackson's activities, but the press can only do so much. It is clear that the IRS and the State of Illinois simply will not take action against Jesse Jackson, not even an audit. Equal justice for all? Bologna.
And that's the memo.

Photographer Christopher Logan's 'Knockout!' editorial for WestEast Magazine merges men's high fashion with sweat locker boxing gyms to produce a tough as nails photo series.
The editorial features models Chris Jackson, Manuel Ramos, Ryan Bertroche and Anthony Gallo all sporting haute couture looks that wouldn't normally be seen in boxing gyms across America. The models are outfitted with outlandish belt buckles and spiked-up hand gloves, which further reinforces the erratic nature of the photo series. The models are showcased in various scenarios that you would normally find guys in a gym in. From boxing, to push-ups and the enigmatic stare downs that are often present in fight-themed photos the models are able to convey the raw intensity that's most often in old school boxing gyms have.

It`s when the little things start to slide away, out of memory`s grasp, that worried students come to Mary Sholty`s class.
After she calls their names on the first day, she goes around the room and they confess their forgetfulness one by one.
''I can`t remember where I put anything,'' said Lottie Galat at the start of the current four-week session at the Park Place Senior Center in Arlington Heights.
''I`ll say to someone I know, `Hi John,` but it`s not John, it`s Dave,''
added Lester Rush.
''I`ll go for something, then forget what I wanted and come back,'' said Peg Johann.
''I think at one time I was the best speller ever,'' said Dorothy Shomburg. ''Now I`m always going to the dictionary. It`s scary when you feel like you`re slipping. People start to think you`re getting senile.''
The class, one of numerous free activities for the elderly at Park Place, is called Memory Improvement. The flyer promises ''simple techniques, which are also fun, to help you remember,'' but the teacher says her primary purpose ''is to reassure the students that they`re not losing their minds.''
A representative of the Senior Citizens` Centers of Metropolitan Chicago organization said she knew of no other memory class for the elderly being offered in the area. Margaret Person, founder and director of Metro Seniors in Action, a local activist group, also said she hadn`t heard of other such classes. ''We sure could use some,'' she added.
In her opening lecture, Sholty, who is 29, blasted the ''misconception that old adults have to lose their memory'' and told her 12 students that they were probably having problems because they`re ''just a little rusty on memory skills.''
They looked on dubiously.
Later she explained that many senior citizens and their relatives reflexively believe that each memory lapse is a sign of the onset of Alzheimer`s disease or some other organic mental condition common to old age. In fact, she said, medical research shows that certain kinds of memory loss can be triggered by loneliness, inactivity and stress--all common, but not chronic, conditions of aging.
''I can remember everything from when I was a child, and now I can`t remember things from the last couple of months,'' said Mary Hansen. ''Could it be that I`ve retired? Could that make a difference?''
''Sure. Of course,'' said Sholty. ''You`re not using your memory skills. The key is practice.''
She then engaged the students, all older than 60 and residents of Arlington Heights and Palatine, in a round-table discussion of the difference between what is vital to remember and what is simply nice to remember.
''You`re not going to die if you don`t remember somebody`s name,'' she said by way of example. ''Unless you die of embarrassment.''
''You`ve got to remember to pay bills,'' said Lou Shomburg. ''That`s vital.''
''I think it`s vital to remember where you live,'' said Gertrude Lawinger.
For the first class exercise, Sholty set out a platter containing 10 objects, including a toy bunny, a trophy, a napkin and a packet of sugar. Without allowing anyone to take notes, she exposed the objects for 20 seconds. Then she covered them up and asked the students to write down all they could remember.
Only Lou Shomburg thought he had all 10. Then he realized he`d written
''napkin'' twice.
Sholty, a recreational therapist who came by her memory expertise through reading, offered a few tips to the forgetful: Concentrate on the items one by one; put them into usage categories; sort them by color; or ''create a story about the items, like you went to get some coffee, remembered sugar and napkins, and looked over and saw there was a bunny.''
When she set out a second tray of items, several pleased students were later able to recall all 10.
To remember someone`s name, Sholty said, say it once aloud when you first learn it, then repeat it to yourself over and over until it sinks in. For practice, she had the students learn the names of one another.
''I want to call you Gladys,'' said Lenore Sallwasser when her turn came to go around the room.
''Gertrude,'' said Gertrude Lawinger, to whom she was pointing.
''Gertrude,'' said Sallwasser firmly, and went on.
Only one student, a man who said he had severe memory problems because of several strokes, didn`t attempt the name game.
Sholty said she is always on the lookout for medically related memory loss, which her tricks and techniques cannot improve. She refers such students to doctors.
''Remember,'' she said at the end of the class, ''every person young and old has some memory problems. Don`t be hard on yourself.''
And on the Park Place flyer was an additional note. ''P.S.,'' it said.
''Don`t forget to come to class.''
