just to make things worse... I'm not a fan of Mick Hucknall either!
Sorry Debbie! Sorry Madame!
Yes folks the Griffin is in trouble... again!
For me, the young Bob Dylan, Creedence Clearwater Revival - incidentally, John Fogerty played at Glastonbury this year and went down a storm... which is suitable for Glastonbury as the festival is usually as famous for it's mud as it's stars!
I've only heard a little of the Mighty McGarrigles but I have loved what I've heard. I will definitely have to get an album of theirs.... and of Rufus too by the sound of things!
I do also like early rock and roll - Chuck Berry, Jerry Lewis, Carl Perkins, and I have Elvis' the Sun Sessions which is good fun too.
Clearly Charlsy, Beethoven's 9th is for you what Mozart's Clarinet Concerto is for me! I do love Wager too! The Ride of the Valkyries when there's a storm outside is dizzying and powerful. The winds blow, the sky rages and the Valkyries ride!

I have wide ranging tastes in music loving everything from classical to rock. But I really love the music from the late fifties/early sixties. I grew up on a remote farm without electricity, but with a battery powered radio turned on only for the news. Between the ages of 5 and 14 the only time I got to hear popular music was on my annual holiday at my grandmother's in the city. I didn't hear hear a lot of the fifties music until I was an adult.
David - I'm a Paul Simons fan. Love his lyrics.
Anyone who likes trumpet should check out Chris Botti on You Tube. Fantastic.

Griffin, you're the man !!! Ride of the Walkyries, hurray ! What a piece of music, built layer by layer, starting rather soft, then as each musical wave arrives, becoming that beautiful, terrible storm of sound. I am a bit partial to "Götterdämmerung", thanks to John Boorman's masterful use of it in his wonderful "Excalibur". There have been very few instances where music and images blended so perfectly. Ok, Coppola really knew how to use the Walkyrie !

Lately I am drawn to Mavis Staple's recent CD, "We'll Never Turn Back." She sings songs from the civil rights movement of the 1960's - powerful, haunting - the kind of music that begins deep in your soul and travles all the way through you.
I also agree about Paul Simon. He makes new music sound familiar and the familiar sound new. Listening to his Graceland CD always sets my mood right.
And Jubilant Sykes - amazing voice, wonderful music.

"Music that speaks to you" is this thread subject, so I can't leave out Janis Joplin and Leon Russell and especially Carolyn Hester. But I'm reacting to the artist as much as to the music--I wish I had the breadth some of you have!

Well it's Bluesfest here in Ottawa (ennui sur le Rideau as some wag calls it) and Wednesday' night's headliner was (wait for it) VAN MORRISON and he got rave reviews--Last night the headliner was Bob Dylan and a secondary venue featured Leonard Cohen-----and tonight George Thorogood and the Destroyers---indeed some would have to say "an embarrassment of riches"!!

David, who attends when V. Morrison and Dylan play? Do 20-somethings show up, or is it mostly people nearer the age of the artists?

That's exactly it! The waves of sound building one on another until through great flashes of lightning and the hammering of Thor's mighty hammer Miolnir, the Valkyries come seeking the heroic slain to carry them to Valhalla - the home of the heroes!
a beeg contrast, but I also like Simon and Garfunkel, Janis is fabulous a Bessie Smith for the 1960s if that's not too sacrilegious! I also like Leonard Cohen. Oh yes, and as I'm listening to him at the moment, David Bowie.
Woody Guthrie is my version of Mavis Staples, tho' I will admit that I haven't heard Mavis on her own. Mavis is the Latin name for the Nightingale I seem to recall so naturally she's a singer! Oh yes, and I like the Go-Betweens too... their song Cattle and Cane is like listening to a great short story writer.

Those concerts are a total mix of ages. There was a Dylan concert here a little while ago and I know a bunch of people my age that went. When I was in high school the first concert I went to was The Steve Miller Band. At that age my friends and I also saw Page & Plant, CCR, and Tom Petty wll while keeping up with bands like Gas Huffer and Pearl Jam. At the CCR concert we had a couple in front of us dressed for church and they weren't at all happy when we dropped our, um, contraband under their chairs. Teenagers have sort of a musical age of discovery and suddenly the sixties and seventies are back.
I am pretty much out of that now, but still try and explore new music. One up and coming band I totally recommend is called Mono in VCF.

Right know I've been listening to Amy Winehouse. She has this wonderful 60's British soul sound which is so refreshing compared to all the manufactered bubblegum music that's out there. I've also developed this infatuation with Indian Bhangra music. It's so catchy and infectious. I highly recommend the original version of Chaiyya Chaiyya or the Bollywood Joint remix featuring Panjabi MC. It's a lot of fun. Siukshinder Shinda is a great Bhangra DJ to.

bainst---we don't get exposed to much Bhangra here but wow, what I've heard really got me going!!
G.p.--Erin has it right according to my spies--really a cross section of ages go to these events. When the STONES were here last year (I think) there were all these interviews with grandparents going with their grandchildren. Really neat I think!

There are pictures of me at age 2 or 3, sitting in about three inches of Lake Huron, all head-to-toe goosebumps and purple lips. My parents always tried to get me out of there before I died of hypothermia, but I refused to move. (So eventually they just got the camera. Welcome to being the fourth kid.) We lived on the beach for the first four years of my life, and probably my earliest memory is the frustration I felt at not being able to go further into the water–my brother and sisters would all go swimming for real, and I used to sit there in my three inches of water, just desperate to join them.
Even after I learned to swim, I remained chronically pissy about all the places I wasn't allowed to swim. Fountains, reflecting pools, really big puddles… all terribly seductive. Visiting a beach or a house with a pool in cold weather was fucking torture. I have never, ever understood the appeal of lying on a beach–how can you be that close to the water and not be in it?
My favorite moment of last weekend was about twenty minutes into the reception, when JD's daughter, in her foofy flower girl dress, walked up to the edge of the magnificent pool, stared longingly at it for a moment, then looked around for authority figures (we didn't count), hiked the foofy dress above her waist, and went down two steps.
I almost never relate to children–and I am totally the sort of childless curmudgeon who can't stand parents who try to compensate for their own childhood frustrations by letting the next generation break all the rules. But I watched her that whole time, knowing exactly where her mind was going–and exactly where she was eventually going–and I actually cheered when she went in the water. Not only because I remember how badly I would have ached to go in that pool at five, but because I was totally fucking aching to go in at thirty. (Later, JD's mom said she was worried about her granddaughter around that pool, and I immediately trotted out my ex-lifeguard credentials and volunteered to jump in and rescue her if anything happened. I'm kind of bummed she never fell in.)
The picture above is my favorite from the weekend (well, except for the one of me drunk off my ass and invading Suzi's personal space in a fairly spectacular way). On Saturday afternoon, Suzi, N.A.G., and I totally trespassed on a private beach, and I trust you can see that it was worth it. I started by folding my pants up a couple inches and wading, then folded them up to my knees, as you see here, then eventually said screw it and went in up to my ass. If a guy hadn't come and run us off the private beach, I would have been underwater about two minutes later. That old desire has never really gone away. I've matured enough to walk past a fountain without wanting to dive in or weep, but the ocean? Forget about it. You cannot ask me to stay dry.
It dawned on me as I was walking the dogs this morning that moving to this neighborhood was more than one kind of homecoming. Yeah, there's the Chicagoland angle I've already discussed, but living at the edge of a Great Lake actually takes me back to those blue-and-goosebumpy days in western Ontario, of which I remember very, very little other than the overwhelming presence of the water. My dad once pointed out that, except for the 2 years he was stationed in Germany, he's never lived more than 30 miles from a Great Lake. Except for the year I was at Bennington, neither have I. And I don't think I ever want to again.
The water was rough and loud this morning, the way I like it best. It's 58 degrees and overcast today. I totally, totally wanted to go in.

Morning Five: 07.01.10 EditionPosted by rtmsf on June 30th, 2010
Happy Fiscal New Year, everyone. We hope that your 2010-11 is filled with great financial security and hoops hysteria.
- Here's some somewhat dated news, but it didn't seem to get much attention until this week, which is that Mississippi State's Renardo Sidney evidently sees himself as a 1-and-doner when he finally gets to play this coming season. Sidney tweeted during last week's draft the following: "NYC #2011 Believe dat." The big man who sat out the entire 2009-10 season over concerns with his eligibility certainly has the ability to become a top prospect, but he may want to check next year's draft location before he makes his reservations.
- It was an odd summer day for comings and goings yesterday, but Michigan dismissed junior guard Laval Lucas-Perry from its team for an undisclosed violation of team rules, while Oregon forward Jamil Wilson is transferring back east to Marquette for his final three years of eligibility. Lucas-Perry was a sometime starter for John Beilein's team, now facing a huge rebuild after losing his two stars and another key contributor in LLP. Wilson was a starter at Oregon, averaging 5/3 in just under 17 minutes per game — nice coup for Buzz Williams to grab the talented forward from nearby Racine.
- Insert New Jersey chemical plant joke here… Rutgers will offer naming rights to its football and basketball stadiums ("the RAC") as a way to offset some of the expense of a recent renovations. Some RTC ideas: The Honeywell Hive? The Prudential RAC? Toys R Us Arena? Campbell Soup Bowl? We could go on…
- An interesting discussion over at Fanhouse as to whether, with John Wooden's passing, if Coach K is the best coach alive. He's certainly on the short list, but it's hard to believe that he's above Phil Jackson or Scotty Bowman, much less Pat Summit or Geno Auriemma in his own sport.
- At the Under-19 World Championships, Team USA led by Duke's Kyrie Irving (21 pts) and rising prep senior Austin Rivers (19 pts) won the gold medal when Quincy Miller (another rising senior) hit a three with 25 seconds remaining to give the Americans a three-point lead that stuck. Good job, fellas.

Jennifer Robbins
Designer, author, conference organizer
Providence, Rhode Island
Areas of Expertise:
Jennifer Niederst Robbins was one of the first designers for the web. As the designer of O'Reilly's Global Network Navigator (GNN), the first commercial web site, she has been designing for the web since 1993. She is the author of the bestselling Web Design in a Nutshell and Learning Web Design (O'Reilly). Jennifer is a co-founder of the Artifact Conference for web designers and developers. In the past, has spoken at the top web conferences and taught web design at the Massachusetts College of Art and Johnson and Wales University. In addition to designing, Jennifer enjoys cooking, travel, indie-rock, and making stuff.
"The book is well organized and well paced for beginners. The book is also an excellent reference guide for intermediate-level web designers who want to fine tune their skills."
"The book tells you not only how to do stuff, it tells you why and when it is right to do so."
"A perfect book for HTML/CSS/JS introduction and learning.
Also is a good reference book because it's well structured, is easy to search by topic and jump to related topics.
The exercises are easy and you only need a good text editor."
"This handsome new edition of Learning Web Design can be your how-to, go-to handbook for a long time, whether you are a newbie or already have web experience."
"I'm really impressed with this 'soup to nuts' book...This really is a 'from the ground up' compendium of everything you'd need to know, from a *designer's* standpoint, of how to author for the web, even coming from a print background."
"...when I'm stuck on a stubborn element which necessitates going under the visible page and working directly with html code, this book is a major time saver and de-stressor. "
"What I really like about this book is that it explains the why's, what's and how's in an interesting conversational tone. "
"Learning Web Design, now in its third edition, is a great self-teaching guide that covers all the technologies. An excellent resource for novices who want to learn web design, and for experienced users who want to update their skills."
"This book teaches web design in as simple and clear a manner as is possible for this topic, and no one interested in learning how to create a web site from scratch will be disappointed...In recent years eXtensable HTML (XHTML) (a more precise mark-up language) and CSS have come onto the scene that newer browsers can use to present more effective websites. This book is an excellent way to update ones knowledge. If you find that you need to learn HTML, or XHTML, or CSS, I cant imagine a clearer text than this book."
"As you can see from the contents, this is a nuts and bolts text that teaches the proper coding of websites and emphasizes best practices and web standards. It mentions some software that you could use to build sites but doesn't teach programs. It is quite up-to-date and presents very modern web building practices. Even those who have built sites in the past will find this an excellent refresher that will bring web skills into the 21st century...As both a training text and a basic reference book Learning Web Design is an excellent resource that will give those who actually use it a solid foundation in modern web page building practices."
"In all my years of study I have never come across a text that was so easy to read, so easy to learn from, and yet so thorough in the aspects covered."
"In this new resource from OReilly Media, author Jennifer Niederst Robbins leads both the novice an expert web designer along the journey of exciting web design. A professional web designer and teacher for years, her obvious enthusiasm for creating new and engaging site designs comes alive in each page of Learning Web Design, 3rd Edition: A Beginners Guide to (X)HTML, Style Sheets, and Web Graphics. This new edition will equip readers from all backgrounds with the skills they need to create original, multi-column CSS layouts with optimized graphic files...As a complete beginner and very conscious of feeling like I was behind the technological wave, I was pleasantly surprised to understand and put into practice the tips and tools listed...Not only did I realize that there is hope for me yet in learning interesting techniques for my future website, but also that with a resource like this, the skys the limit."
"Learning Web Design, 3rd Edition is pleasure to read, it is really well written...Jennifer Robins writes reading this book feels like sitting in my classroom. It must be a very nice classroom."
"I was very impressed with this book, as it provides an excellent introduction to a standards-based approach for creating web sites. Developers or designers who are new to writing HTML, or individuals who are simply looking for a refresher book should look no further. The author takes the reader through the whole process of creating a web site: from HTML, to adding style elements, to basic graphics considerations, to more advanced topics. This is a very well thought out, thorough book. Frankly, I was surprised at the depth of material included in this book. In addition to an excellent CSS reference, the author goes into more advanced topics, including the CSS box model, what exactly is Unicode, and even how to create web graphics. The addition of this extra material will satisfy advanced readers, but also give beginning HTML coders something to work up towards. In other words, once you cover the basic material of this book, theres still more material for you to learn. If I had my way, Id make this book required reading for all web developers. This is a great addition to any web developers library. Even those who already have a lot of experience with creating web sitesyou might learn something."
"I have a colleague at work who is dipping her toe into the world of web design. She asked me if I knew of any good books to get her started. I'll be shipping my copy to her, as I'm quite confident this will be exactly what she needs."
"I just got my copy of Learning Web Design in 3D.. I mean, 3e... and I'm IN LOVE! It looks so beautiful... by far the most impressive book I've ever worked on at O'Reilly. Even after seeing all the PDFs, I was not prepared to be this blown away by the real thing."
"What a handy dandy little book. At only 97 pages and measuring 7" X 4 1/4" X 1/8", you can conveniently take this code reference everywhere...But seriously, if you code web pages youll want a reference listing of all the HTML 4.01/XHTML 1.0 elements and attributes. The Pocket Reference provides just this in an alphabetical listing and theres more. It tells you whats been depreciated and what has not (but you might think has). Basic terms are defined, usage explained, and examples provided...unless you have been able to memorize the entire HTML 4.01
Recommendation from the W3C, it is a most convenient way to ensure that you are coding elements and attributes in a syntactically correct and compliant manner."
"All in all, this is a tidy, not so little volume that does more than just serve as a code reference. Technologies are explained and diagrammed and every aspect of front-end web technology is presented. Clear explanations of web design elements are amply illustrated with code examples. Tips,
suggestions, notes and warnings supplement the text nicely. This volume is not a tutorial or a training tool for the person new to web design and coding web pages. It is an excellent reference for anyone working with web development technologies."

The Evolution of the Indian IT IndustrySudhanshu, Rai (Frederiksberg, 2010)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: In this article I discuss the Indian outsourcing phenomena and ask the question now what? Using data from the Euro-India project I demonstrate that a small but significant part of the Indian IT entities are moving beyond outsourcing, to co-creation where Innovation and the desire to create new markets is the key driver. This does not imply that outsourcing will disappear but it does mean that firms will engage in globalization using innovative mix of business models and technical platforms. We discuss the implication of this slow transformation to co-creation of innovation for the global outsourcing industry. The key thesis of this paper is to discuss co-creation as a form of innovation and how such a form of innovation is likely to bring Indian companies rich dividends.

Government Policies on Corporate Social Responsibility in Denmark and the UKBrown, Danna; Steen Knudsen, Jette (, 2012)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Do government policies on CSR in the UK and Denmark reflect distinct domestic political-economic institutional differences as predicted by the Varieties of Capitalism approach, or do they display new forms of governance that primarily address the needs of global businesses? We move beyond the management literature and the literature on public management of particular environmental and sustainability programs to explore a broader government agenda for CSR through a political science lens. We develop a set of expectations that follow from the literature on domestic institutions as well as from the literature that takes into account the role of governments in interaction with transnational actors. We find evidence for a substitution objective in the initial CSR programs of the Danish and British governments (and a mirror objective in Denmark). However, we also find that globalization has motivated governments to use their regulatory authorities pertaining to CSR policies for purposes beyond enhancement of welfare state functions.

If you want to own some Facebook stock, you'll have to have at least $28 in the bank. The social network has suggested that shares in its upcoming IPO will be priced in the region of $28 – $35 per share, with the company itself setting a new record for the most valuable US technology company at the time of an IPO.
When the company goes public on the expected May 17 or 18 date, it will be valued up to $96 billion, dwarfing the previous record holder for largest US tech company IPO, Google's 2004 valuation of $23 billion. The lower end of the price range means a valuation closer to $77 billion, which could actually mean a loss for current investors in the company, although the Wall Street Journal points out that investor interest is more likely to push the figure upwards than the alternative.
Such interest and raised value could mean that the company will raise somewhere in the region of $13.6 billion, comfortably outpacing earlier projections of $10 billion. The only companies to have raised more in an IPO in US history are Visa in 2008 ($19.7 billion) and General Motors in 2010 ($18.1 billion). As part of the 337.4 million shares being sold, founder Mark Zuckerberg is expected to sell 30.2 million and make more than $1 billion as a result, but don't worry; he'll retain 57.3 percent of the voting power in the company afterwards.
As part of the run-up to the launch of the IPO, the company's Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg and Chief Financial Officer David Eberseman are expected to spend just over a week convincing potential investors of the wisdom of buying stock. To support the road show, Zuckerberg will make selected appearances but appears in a video presentation discussing his history with the company. Apparently, some people need more than the company's dominance in the social media market – The site is expected to hit a billion registered users by the end of the year – as proof that Facebook would be a good investment, when the recent 12 percent drop in Q1 profits when compared with 2011 are factored in. Here's hoping that's a really good video, Mr. Zuckerberg; you have $1 billion riding on it.

We'd like to be able to tell you that the new Maserati GranTurismo convertible is great with the top up or down, but we can only confirm the former. Our test drive, originating in Rome, coincided with the heaviest snowstorm that city has seen since 1986. We sat in our hotel, looking out at the flakes accumulating on the Fiat Cinquecentos and Smart Fortwos that crammed themselves onto both sides of the black-pavered streets like impacted molars. Maserati's PR chief paced nervously. He knows the destruction journalists are capable of in dry weather, and there was no way he was letting us out in his $139,700 droptops on Pirelli summer tires in that kind of meteorological dandruff.
So we waited, and waited some more, until the snow stopped and we could make a break for it, shooting out of Rome down the E80 autostrada in a 220-km/h (137-mph) convoy.
Outfitted as a one-powertrain model, the GranTurismo convertible is blessed with the top-hole GranTurismo S automatic coupe's 433-hp, 4.7-liter V-8 and ZF six-speed manumatic. It also maintains its sibling's great lines. Maserati traded the elegant sweep of the GT's C-pillars for the trim greenhouse of an Aston or a Bentley, and the softtop—available in six colors, weighing just 143 pounds in all, and retracting in 20 seconds—is a three-layer job that steals just two inches of rear headroom from the coupe and leaves enough room in the trunk for at least one golf bag.
The GT convertible has the longest wheelbase in a class that ranges from the Mercedes-Benz SL and BMW 6-series to the Bentley Continental GTC. Maserati engineers didn't even have to change the rear-seatback angle to accommodate 62.5-percentile humans—a rarity in a segment whose cars force their unfortunate rear-seat passengers into the straitjacketed position popularized by Dr. Hannibal Lecter in The Silence of the Lambs.
In the absence of a roof, Maserati reinforced the A-pillar inners and trussed the floor with an aero-optimized aluminum undertray, a '70s Formula 1 touch we can't help but admire. Static stiffness still can't match the coupe's, but dynamic bending is just as good, according to the company.
We did notice some shuddering through the steering column on the rough old Roman roads and some side-to-side creaking of the body over sunken SPQR manhole covers. But on the E80, the car felt solidly overbuilt, tracking true through corners with beautifully weighted steering, its powerful pump giving instant feedback in high-speed lane-change maneuvers. The engine's torque delivery is very smooth, and throttle response gets gutsier with speed to keep the engine reactive at lower revs. Think of the throttle-response curve as S-shaped.
There's a sport button on the dash that condenses throttle mapping, stiffens the suspension, and opens a bypass valve in the exhaust system above 3000 rpm. We had to kill sport mode at high speeds because the high-frequency drone was too grating. But hearing this open Italian exhaust caroming off the tunnel that runs under the Vatican is the closest this writer has come to a religious experience.
We made it down to the coast for a quick charge up and down a hill, but we kept the top up because it was still drizzling. The road's lowered coefficient of friction invited all sorts of throttle-guided cornering, during which something incredible happened: The chassis reacted before its electronics did. The Maser's long wheelbase makes the car easy to catch, as does steering that stays sensitive as the car loses traction. But the A-pillars, as thick as a sprinter's thighs, make it almost impossible to execute tight left-hand turns with any confidence.
That said, this top-up experience with the GranTurismo convertible reminded us why we like the coupe so much. Both cars are lively and fluid—big, comfy GTs that mask their size with direct controls and tons of power. We would happily fly back to Rome and do the whole thing again, this time with the top down.

Through this project, I've met Ian Hart, who as far as I can tell may have been the first to link Illich's Deschooling Society to the emerging social movement in the Internet. He published Deschooling and the Web through a Routledge jounral back in 2001. Yes, I know! surely someone linked Illich to the web before then!?
Ian also wrote and directed the 1979 film, Who Owns Schools, which was banned by the Queensland government Ian tells me. I enjoyed a viewing Who Owns Schools at the National Film and Sound Archive yesterday. Many things impressed me about it, such as the rapid editing and story telling for a 1970s film that must have been seen as futuristic, certainly demonstrating great skill on the part of the film editor. The open ended moral to the story, being careful not to prescribe, even expressing self consciousness in this point. This was highlighted by a skit toward the end, featured 3 stereotypical teachers forecasting the future of a 15 year old girl. This scene in particular caused me to reflect on my own opinions and actions regarding education systems. But at the very end, as is so often the case, the film finally asked children the question, who owns schools? Perhaps revealing the film's original intent. I hope to play a role in getting a digital version of the film uploaded and made more readily accessible soon.
Who Owns Schools? is an enjoyable, funny film, about an all too serious question, from a time long enough ago to give us some perspective. What perspective? That not much has changed these last 32 years! The would-be change agents have achieved so little in the face of it all. All part of the larger failure of the "Left" perhaps, but why? What is this invisible force that overwhelms all attempts at change? False consciousness and hegemony? The fact that Queensland bureaucrats banned this film says something of the kind...
As for the wiki that might become our collaborative critique on ubiquitous learning, for some darker corner of the web known as a ranked journal, I have made a few more edits and additions. I thought to do more consolidating of sections, down to now 4:
- History of 'ubiquitous learning'
- Its not about the technology, or is it?
- Propinquity - the missing link in ubiquitous learning?
- Ubiquitous learning - as in freedom
I've added some research dug out by Pam Hook recently, that has been ignored in our futuristic techno-love - that reading comprehension rates are significantly reduced in screen based environments. See section 2 for a link to Pam's work. I've also added reference to a book (care of Barbara Dieu in a TALO discussion), and a documentary film, looking at the link between 1960's counter culture and the cyber culture utopianism of today. See section 1.
If you'd like to contribute to this collaborative critique, by all means!

By guest author, David Roach
In yesterday's installment Luis established himself as one of the leading artists in the revival of Warren's horror titles, but after only a year he was ready to move on. It was a journey that began with a meeting with Salvador Dali ( hey- things like that happened in the '70s! )
Luis recounts: "I met Dali in 1973; I was introduced to him at the Hotel Ritz in Barcelona. He was in a suite, surrounded by models, hosting a party to sell a painting to an American collector. After that we went to dinner at the Restaurant Via Veneto and later for a drink at the pub 240 where I sketched charcoal portraits of the characters and musicians there. Among them was Dali's favourite model Silke Hummel. I was captivated by her. Dalí invited us both back for dinner in the hotel he had in front of his house and workshop. The dining room, small in size, had a horseshoe-shaped table, the tablecloth was the Spanish flag. Dali would sit in the corner, the rest of us arranged around the edge of the "horseshoe". Behind him on the wall hung a rhinoceros head with the huge wings of an eagle. "It is my guardian angel," he said. At night, in the garden of olive trees surrounding a pool shaped like male genitalia he asked me to pose for him: "Luis shall be the model for my painting of " Saint Sebastian." Unfortunately Dali's wife Gala replied: "San Sebastian has to be stronger, more muscular." Actually, what happened between Gala and me is that there was no empathy. I felt revulsion at her shiny black eyes, as small as lentils, and their neurotic thin wrinkles and I guess I also felt a sense of rejection. Gala was responsible for my not being chosen as the model for the painting. When Silke finished her job with Dali we headed off to Paris and among other things, I took along the Warren magazines which published my stories."
(Below, Salvador Dali w/ Luis and female friend, 1973)
In Paris Luis arranged to show his work to the editor of Pilote magazine; Rene Goscinny, best known for writing the legendary French strip Asterix The Gaul. Pilote enjoyed massive success in the '60s due to the popularity of strips such as Asterix, Lucky Luke and Lieutennant Blueberry but by the early '70s the magazines tone had changed distinctly. It became (along with Italy's Linus) one of the forerunners of the adult comics phenomena that would later include Metal Hurlant and its American counterpart Heavy Metal.
"After seeing my American work Goscinny , a red-faced guy, friendly, sympathetic and satirical, told me in perfect Castilian: "You are like the Spanish conquistadors who crossed the Atlantic looking for El Dorado , You will do a series for Pilote. Which do you prefer? A French writer or Spanish?" "Spanish," I replied. Finally I had indeed found my El Dorado of comics, on this side of the Atlantic, in Europe. Silke and I left Paris and went to Premia de Mar (a seaside town near Barcelona) to consult with my friends Carlos Gimenez and Adolfo Usero. Carlos recommended the writer Victor Mora for the series and happily Victor agreed."
The resulting series was called "Les Chronicles Des Sin Nombres" and it was a series of unconnected strips each telling a story from a different period, from medieval times to the wild west and from the war to contemporary Spain.
Pilote offered Luis complete artistic freedom and it was here that he finally established his own, fully realised artistic personality. The strips built on the realistic, textured approached of his Warren work, but revealed an increased assurance in both storytelling and draughtsmanship. In my opinion they are amongst the most beautiful comic book pages ever drawn and closer inspection of the original art from the series reveals an astonishing delicacy and assurance.
The originals were drawn quite large (around a half imperial) and rendered with extremely delicate, fine ink lines. The linework is never so tight however that the whole thing closes up into lifelessness, they retain a lively, vigorous quality. In fact in some cases the linework is held together and given weight by the almost tactile tone which is layered on top of it. The tone would have been a combination of sponged –on ink and finer areas dabbed on with a thumb or finger.
Other, diffuse lines were achieved by putting down a pen line and then quickly smudging it across the page with a thumb. These textured drawings were then finessed and distressed by scratches and cuts from a scalpel blade. In fact a closer look at some of the panels reveal figures that appear to be nothing more than a mass of smears, daubs and scratches which somehow coalesce into a thrillingly substantial whole. The pages manage the almost impossible achievement of being at once astonishing bold and at the same time breath-takingly delicate.
The first 5 Pilote strips were soon re-sold to Warren and were printed in Vampirella allowing American fans to see how Luis had matured and only a few years later again "The Wolves that War at War's End" was reprinted in Heavy Metal.
(Above: 2 pages from "Love Strip" from Pilote, posed by Carol De Haro, Carlos Gimenez and Voctor Mora)
(Above: "Mojave Rose" from Pilote starring Marika as a Wild West "madam")
"In 1974, I returned to Paris, Goscinny, received me very happily and smiling with the originals to "Love Strip" in his hands blurted out: "You're a genius, I shall have to pay you more per page". Rene was a marvellously kind and big-hearted man. During this period Carlos, Adolfo and I had a small cottage in Premia Del Mal 12 miles from Barcelona. We formed the "Group Premia 3" and collaborated on the albums "We 4 Friends" and "Treasure Island" with each taking the role that suited us the best. Then in 1975 I founded a new commune with Enrique Ventura and Miguel Angel Nieto in the town of Cadaqués, near the home of Salvador Dalí on the coast, a few kilometers from the French border. Ventura bought the food, I cooked and Nieto washed the dishes, others ate, drank, smoked, sang and played guitar. We were often visited by other artists including Gimenez, Usero, Jose Canovas and Miguel Fuster and also participating in the festival were many women: Spanish, French, German, British, Australian... It was the sweet charm of the middle-class bourgeoisie with a soundtrack by the Beatles. Nieto and Ventura collaborated on the magazine El Papus and this paid for the main part of the cost of the commune. "
Life on the commune freed Luis from the usual economic imperitives that govern the work of most artists and allowed him the chance to retreat from the demands of constant comic strip work for the first time in over a decade. Following a trip back to his childhood home of Puertollano he was so overwhelmed by the experience that he felt compelled to put it down on paper, which he did with the help of a script from Felipe Hernandez Cava. The resulting strip called "Chicharras" was a poignant meditation on nostalgia in which we follow Luis as he walks around the village revisiting the key moments of his childhood.
Visually there is a continuity with the ultra-realist approach of his Pilote work though with a looser, sketchier line and a masterful use of white space - you can almost feel the heat and dust.
Beyond its sensual appeal however Chicharras was significant in another way; it was the first time as far I'm aware anywhere in the world that a mainstream artist had created a wholly autobiographical comic strip. In this Luis had more in common with the likes of Underground artists such as Justin Green and Robert Crumb but their work at the time was still laced with humour and flights of wild imagination whereas Chicharras was a far more mature, reflective piece.
Having drawn it he eventually found a place for it in the French magazine Scop and the Spanish title Bang and this would set the pattern for much of the rest of his career.
In what now looks like a revolutionary move, from this point on Luis would create almost all of his work for himself and then find a market for a later. It was the throwing off of the shackles of commercial art and his emergence as a serious artist.
Next- Revolution and reflection.
Celebrating illustration, design, cartoon and comic art of the mid-20th century.

Luis Garcia Mozos: Dali and Paris
2 comments:
As always, David (and Peng),ReplyDelete
most enlightening and enjoyable. Having watched the progression of "Luis Garcia" through the Warren and Pilotes, there was always the nagging question of "were they the same artist?" Now I know.
Thanks, Jim (|:{>

I have never heard of this artist before. The art is so gripping - I hope that I can find some of his work in English or German.
Many thanks for this post.

Canon EF 100 mm f/2.8 L Macro IS USM
1. Introduction
The current year's day of 1st September will be a memorable and a happy moment for all Canon equipment enthusiasts. That day an EOS 7D reflex camera was presented to the whole world, along with three new interesting lenses: two universal zooms, a 15–85 mm f/3.5–5.6 IS USM and a18–135 mm f/3.5–5.6 IS and an L series lens EF 100 mm f/2.8L IS USM Macro. The last device we have an intention to test here.
We don't try to conceal the fact that our interest and our expectations are high indeed and for more than one reason. Firstly the standards themselves are raised very high. A much cheaper and older Canon EF 100 mm f/2.8 Macro USM fared in our tests very well. An EF-S 60 mm f/2.8 Macro USM , designed for small sensors, performed even better and that fact proved that contemporary macro lenses are instruments which very often reach record-breaking results in our tests. What's more, the 100 mm macro class is simply stuffed full with rival lenses. Our tests showed that there are no weak players here. After all, in this category we can find as excellent models as a Nikkor 105 mm f/2.8 VR Micro, a Tokina 100 mm f/2.8, a Tamron 90 mm f/2.8 or finally a Sigma 105 mm f/2.8.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Small wonder Canon decided to go the whole way. We got an L class lens with an appropriate barrel and build quality, a novel "Hybrid" optical image stabilization system and a silent and quick USM motor. What's more, the company didn't go over the top with the price. I must admit when I saw the parameters and this lens's specification I was almost sure that we would have to pay for it as much as for an 180L Macro (with a longer focal length but lower fastness and lack of stabilization). That's why the price at the level of 1000 $ looks reasonable enough although the new Canon lens is still the most expensive device in its class anyway.
Let's get down to facts and check how the lens performs in practice.
The lens was lend for the tests by the Cyfrowe.pl shop.

The first provisions of the federal health care overhaul kicked in Thursday. Insurance companies can no longer deny coverage to sick kids.
But many insurers, including Oregon's largest one, have responded by not issuing new child-only policies.
For Oregon's Regence BlueCross BlueShield the decision comes down to this: if parents can wait until their kids become sick to buy insurance there isn't anything preventing then from doing just that.
That's why many major insurers say they've stopped issuing new child-only policies in the last week. But some health care advocates aren't convinced the decision is purely an economic one.
Laura Etherton: "I think that this can be seen as a little bit of a game of chicken going on between the insurance companies and the public."
Laura Etherton is with the non-profit Oregon State Public Interest Research Group. She says according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services the increased costs would be negligible.
Laura Etherton: "There's a little bit of an attempt to scare people in to thinking well maybe we won't cover anybody at all any more and that's disappointing."
Some insurers in Oregon will continue writing new child-only plans.
Another option is Oregon's Healthy Kids Program. That's open to all Oregon residents younger than 19 and covers the cost of health insurance for families with modest incomes.

'I only found out I was replacing Cheryl Cole when I read the papers', admits new X Factor USA judge Nicole Scherzinger
Last to know: Nicole Scherzinger admitted to Graham Norton that she only found out she was replacing Cheryl Cole on X Factor USA when she read the papers
The ongoing X Factor saga has kept fans riveted with constant changes in the judging panels both in the UK and Stateside.
But now Nicole Scherzinger has revealed she only found out she would be replacing Cheryl Cole on panel of the U.S. show when she read it in the newspaper.
Recording an interview on The Graham Norton Show, which airs on Friday, Nicole said: 'I haven't said this yet, but I think it's official that I have been made a judge. It's an amazing opportunity.
Stunning: Nicole wore a tribal-print minidress as she performed her new single on the show
'I'm kind of finding out (what's happening) along with everyone else. It's kind of crazy to read about it in the newspaper first.'
However, Nicole said she is looking forward to working with music mogul Simon Cowell on the programme.
She told Norton: 'He is someone you can learn a lot from. But when we are in that room it's all about the music and the talent and I focus on the contestants, its what I am really passionate about.'
New role: It was a quick pit stop for Nicole, who begins her X Factor duties in New Jersey on Wednesday
Show bosses officially announced yesterday that Nicole will indeed be replacing Cheryl, and will start her new role at the New Jersey auditions on Wednesday.
It emerged over the weekend that Cole had been invited to return to her role after being fired a fortnight ago, but the 27-year-old has snubbed the offer, leaving the Pussycat Doll free to take her place.
Fox, FremantleMedia North America and Syco TV released a statement on Monday afternoon announcing the news.
Famous friends: Also appearing on the show were Tom Hanks and Simon Pegg
What's that you said? Nicole gasps at one of Norton's famously close-to-the-mark jokes
Finally confirmed: X Factor officially confirmed on Monday that Nicole IS replacing Cheryl on the judging panel
Thanks but no thanks: Cheryl turned down Fox's offer to return to the U.S. version
The Graham Norton Show airs on BBC One this Friday at 10.35pm.

Easter egg hunt at Lincoln Park District offers a sweet treat
Send a link to a friend
17, 2014] The
Lincoln Park District is getting ready for the annual Easter egg
hunt this Saturday. Activities will take place out on the driving
range. Kids up to age 8 and their parents are invited to share in
the excitement. The kids get to scamper after their eggs starting at
10 a.m.
Roy Logan of the
park district says the event draws over 600 kids looking for prizes
and sweet treats stuffed in plastic Easter eggs. The event has been
ongoing for over 20 years.
Ten thousand eggs donated by Symphony of Lincoln and the Lincoln
Kiwanis have been filled with all sorts of great treats by
Logan-Mason Rehab clients. They have been filling the brightly
colored eggs for several weeks to get ready for the big day.
Saturday morning the eggs will be distributed on the driving
range at the park district in lanes that are age-specific. Candy
fills many of the eggs, but some special eggs have prize coupons in
them that can be redeemed at the golf shack. The toys, which are
supplied by Symphony of Lincoln, are age-appropriate.
[to top of second
Once the event is over, the plastic eggs are recycled and used
again next year.
The ever-popular event is sponsored by Lincoln Daily News,
Symphony of Lincoln, Lincoln Kiwanis, Thorntons Oil and the Lincoln
Park District.

LINDSBORG, Kan. (WIBW) -- It's called precision agriculture- using using unmanned aerial systems to improve the care of crops and livestock- and the emerging technology has farmers lining up to buy it, according to industry leaders.
On Tuesday, Kansas State University Salina hosted a flight demonstration of several different unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) at the Great Plains Joint Training Center in Lindsborg. K-State is one of two four-year institutions in the country involved in the development of the unmanned aircrafts.
"It's a way for us to showcase an often misunderstood technology for a purpose that really could touch everyone on the planet and that's agriculture. These small devices have the ability to increase agriculture productivity greatly in some cases," said Dr. Kurt Barnhart, a professor, head of the department of aviation, and executive director of the Applied Aviation Research Center at Kansas State University.
The drones, ranging in price from around $5,000 to upwards of $100,000, take video and color infrared imagery that can detect subtle differences in crops that can't be seen with the naked eye. They're designed to help farmers with their crop yields- detecting infect infestations and diseases in crops and processing images and data so that farmers can make the best decisions when it comes to what they're producing.
"This technology allows a farmer to have better situational awareness so he or she will be able to make better decisions on growing the crop on the fields they're involved with…. in order to have the best yield on that crop, utilizing the least amount of pesticides, the least amount of water and the most effort to get back the best amount of return on investment," said Michael Toscano, president & CEO of the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International
The agriculture sector is expected to be the largest market for UAS technology, Toscano said, and they can save farmers the significant cost of hiring or operating manned aircraft.
"It's comprised of the thing that flies. That's the thing that gets most of the attention- that's the platform. You have what it carries which is the mission package payload and that's the important piece because that's what generates the information. You have the communication link which is how that information is transmitted back down to the ground station. And the most important piece is the human being. It's given to a human being who is controlling the whole operation and getting that information that is critical to the farmer," he said.
Right now, farmers can use UAS for personal use over their individual fields and Toscano says in the near future, farmers will be able to hire companies to come out and survey their crops.
"By the year 2050, we're going to have another 2 billion people on this planet and the question is how are we going to feed those people? So we have to come up with better ways to produce more product with the same amount of land and a limited amount of resources," he told WIBW.
It's predicted that in the first year that unmanned aircrafts are introduced into the national airspace, it will create 770 new jobs at K-State and $750 million in economic impact. On a global standpoint, in the first three years the aircrafts are allowed to fly in the national airspace, they will generate $13.6 billion in economic impact and create around 70,000 jobs, officials said.
According to K-State,university researchers have been able to use UAS to far more accurately and efficiently locate and quantify harmful algae affecting many Kansas lakes and ponds. The university has also successfully demonstrated that UAS can be used to greatly reduce the time required to identify how environmental and genetic interactions affect the characteristics of plants. In addition, researchers are currently working on projects that will deliver detailed economic benefits on how UAS can impact growers, seed distributors, and crop breeders.
"We can fly these systems for a very low cost, get that imagery to a farmer or business that may need to use it very quickly and the resolution is just incredible. There's a lot of different things we can do. We can monitor drought, plant health in terms of disease, pests and all kinds of things. It's going to increase their productivity for a very low cost. It's just going to make affordable for them to get more out of that acre that they have," Dr. Barnhart explained.
The FAA Modernization and Reform Act was signed into law last year and includes important provisions on the integration of UAS into the national airspace system by September 2015.
"Farmers may share one of these or they may be available through a cooperative of some kind. I do think everyone who is in production agriculture will be using this data at some point," Dr. Barnhart added.

text: The Talented Founders Family Posted on November 18, 2010 by Founders Brewing Co. | 3 comments We're proud of the beer that we brew. And part of what makes it so special are the people that brew it, package it, serve it, make food to go with it, etc. OK, that sounded like a Hallmark card. But really, the people who work here are pretty sweet. Did you know that Jarrod Napierkowski, taproom manager, built all of the tables in our taproom? Or that Mike Dorich, taproom manager, and Nathan Mabie, deli guru, entered their work in ArtPrize this year? We also have the makings of a spa: a resident hairstylist and a massage therapist. Perhaps the one out-of-work activity that dominates the free time of most of our employees, however, is music. That's why the FBC All-Stars (an all-Founders-employee supergroup, pictured above) was enlisted to play at Founders Fest this year. Here are some of the local acts that include at least one member of the Founders Family: Paucity Oracle Nicholas James Thomasma Ultraviolet Hippopotamus Chance Jones Mark Lavengood ("Huggy Bear" moved to Chicago, but he's still part of the family) The Total Blam Blams … In fact, Nicholas James Thomasma just announced that he's releasing a new album, Lone Star in the Northern Sky, on December 1. Many of these acts play in our taproom (in case you didn't know, we host live music every Thursday and Saturday) and at other local venues. Check them out, and let us know what you think in the comments!

7:30 pm - 10:00 pm
based on the novel by Jane Austen
book, music & lyrics by Paul Gordon
directed by Barbara Gaines
Jane Austen's beloved novel is now a deliciously charming musical, created by Tony Award-nominated composer and lyricist Paul Gordon (Jane Eyre, Sense and Sensibility, Daddy Long Legs). Privileged, pampered, and preoccupied with romance, Emma Woodhouse indulges in her pastime of misguided matchmaking, but is clueless when it comes to her own feelings and a gentleman named Mr. Knightley. As our imperfect heroine learns that love cannot be predicted or channeled, we are swept up by Paul Gordon's lyrical melodies.

We'll get the kettle on and the biscuit tin filled...
KRPR provide a range of PR services across the UK including consumer PR and B2B PR. With offices in the North West, KRPR's experienced PR team provides a broad range of PR services across a variety of sectors. By working closely with each and every client, we create and deliver PR plans and campaigns that deliver great results.
At KRPR we provide PR services across consumer and B2B PR, including content marketing, copywriting, creative campaigns, crisis PR, internal communications, event management, promotions, media relations, product launches, social media and strategy development. Overall we aim to evaluate all PR activity to ensure we are hitting all of the KPI's agreed upon with the client.
We have an enviable client list, with national and regional brands, as well as businesses from both the consumer and B2B sectors. Our clients include well known brands Pork Farms, Wall's Pastry, Gorilla Glue, O'Keeffe's Company UK and Bolton Whites Hotel, which is situated within the Macron Stadium, home to Bolton Wanderers Football Club. To date we have won all of our clients through word of mouth and referrals from other satisfied clients and partner agencies. From day one we have embodied the philosophy that you can only provide truly excellent PR services if you get under the skin of the clients brand or business. No matter what a business is, from a specialist cleaning business through to a sausage roll manufacturer, we take the time to really understand every aspect of that business. Whether that means spending a day shadowing a specialised cleaning team or meeting all of the staff at a pork pie factory, we go the extra mile to ensure that our PR campaigns are always fresh and always deliver.
Further testimony to the high quality of PR services we provide comes from the awards we have won. These include the CIPR PRide awards where we were finalists and winners in 2013, winners of the best PR and marketing agency 2013 at the Lancashire Business Awards and winners of a Golden Hedgehog award at the PR Moment Awards in 2014. KRPR is one of the only Lancashire PR agencies to win awards from these prestigious North West awards ceremonies held in Manchester.
The PR industry is ever-changing. Each year there are new techniques and new disciplines that must be discovered to keep on top of any developments in the industry. Our way of combatting this is to attend the latest workshops and seminars that will keep us firmly at the forefront of all advances, and keep all clients fully informed of any new services or advice we can offer. Our finger is on the pulse and we invest in all the latest PR systems and technology available to be able to deliver stand out campaigns and media relations across local, county, trade and national press as well as the broadcast landscape.
We work nationally and even internationally with media contacts. Our valued clients are from all areas of the UK in Lancashire, Cumbria, Manchester, Cheshire, Lincolnshire, Yorkshire, London and nearly every other county in the UK. We also work nationally with many public sector organisations on various media relations, creative PR campaigns and high impact, community engagement campaigns.
Currently at KRPR we work with a number of clients from a variety of locations across the UK, including Chorley, Preston, Nottingham, Grantham, Spalding, Burnley, Lancaster, London, Bristol and Bolton. The sectors our experience covers include healthcare, fashion and jewellery, travel and tourism, FMCG, hospitality, food and drink, leisure, retail, public sector, digital, baby and toddler, financial services, SME and entrepreneur, property and construction, manufacturing, professional services, IT and telecommunications, education, sport & leisure and DIY. All members of the KRPR team follow detailed personal development plans to ensure everyone is adapting and growing as the industry evolves.
Additionally, as a PR agency we ensure that all members of the team are client facing, as we believe that by working in this way the entire team gains an in-depth understanding of a client's business. By working in this way, clients build relationships with each and every member of the team regardless of seniority. Every member of the team has a part to play in the running of the accounts and as valued team members they are all involved in all aspects of KRPR life.
To achieve a high standard of results for all of our clients we follow a number of steps. Upon appointment we undertake an in-depth and detailed research program to understand and collect all information on the client, including their history, aims and aspirations. Following this, we develop a 12 month PR plan, broken down into more detailed quarterly targets. As a minimum we meet with clients quarterly to provide detailed PR reviews and together plan the next three months of activity. We provide ongoing regular communication with the client throughout the quarter but believe that by having regular reviews and forward planning meetings both the KRPR team and the client develop a relationship that helps with the delivery of outstanding PR campaigns.

There is a sacredness in tears.
They are not the mark of weakness
but of power.
They speak more eloquently than
ten thousand tongues.
They are messengers of
overwhelming grief,
of deep contrition,
and of unspeakable love.
-Washington Irving
Ownership, staff, and facilities have changed, but the Funeral Service started by Mr. George Murison has been in continuous service to Portage and the surrounding area for over 150 years. Founded as Murison Furniture & Undertaking in 1853, its successor, Pflanz Mantey Mendrala Funeral Home, is one of the oldest businesses in the State of Wisconsin.
In a day when many Funeral Homes are owned and operated by large, out of state corporations, the Pflanz Mantey Mendrala Funeral Homes are owned and operated by Jeanne Mundt, Charles Mantey, and Robert R. Mendrala. Jeanne continues as Secretary/Treasurer, while Charles and Robert both continue as Funeral Directors. The three have worked together for over 30 years. The Pflanz Funeral Homes were renamed Pflanz Mantey Mendrala Funeral Homes in 1995.
In addition to Jeanne, Charles, and Robert, Pflanz Mantey Mendrala Funeral Homes staff also includes Funeral Directors, Heather Mundt Smith and Jenna Krenz. Staff members, Nancy Hibbard, Jeri Sutter and Martin Genrich assist in numerous areas. Jeri is a certified grief counselor who also serves as Aftercare Coordinator. All are Portage area residents.
The addition and remodel of the Portage Funeral Home was completed in 2002, doubling the total area available to the public. Two identical chapels are now available. In addition, the Poynette Funeral Home has recently been remodeled. Both facilities are ADA compliant.
Pflanz Mantey Mendrala Funeral Homes are proud to be locally owned and operated. We consider it an honor to serve the families of the Portage and Poynette areas, providing all types of Funeral Service. We enjoy calling this area "home".

|1850 U.S. Federal Census, Schedule 1
A little break from census forms as I drove from Texas to Pennsylvania, but time has now permitted me to continue with another form to share. This week I created an inputtable form for the 1850 census. It was easier than in some of the past censuses I did. It's not that there's not a lot of good information on the form, there is. Rather they became a little smarter with how they recorded that information, leaving room for more detail (in my opinion). Still it's not all the information we data-hungry genealogists would like to have, but it's better than a sharp stick in the eye!
For the first time we've got the names of everyone in the household and not just the head of the household. Major improvement. No relationships are listed, but we know if they lived under the same roof and what their names were. Make sure you don't go into making hard and fast conclusions just because they lived in the same household. You need to verify relationships. Sometimes people brought in lodgers and there was no relationship!
Also recording people by age range rather than putting their exact age. Gone. We've got a spot for occupation, but only recorded for those aged 15 and up. I don't know about you, but I've got plenty of ancestors that were working in the coal mines well before the age of 15!
Sadly, no marital status, but if they were married within the past year, ya got lucky...there'll be notice of that! There's also a column to be marked if the person was, "Deaf and dumb, blind, insane, idiotic, pauper, or convict." So obviously we'll know the name of the unfortunate person, however my smart-aleck side says that there's a huge difference between all of those groups and we won't even go into political correctness!
This is also the first census I can use in my family tree. Experience level. Still low. Only one ancestor came over by 1850 on my side of the family and a couple on my hubby's side.
As before the people who bring you 1930census.com have some good information. A map of the US at the time and the US is certainly starting to look a bit more like what we know today. The western states are still fewer, but there more boundary lines. A good history for the decade is included. California became a state in September 1850. Even though the census date was set for June 1, 1850 they were included in it.
The US Census Bureau's website has lots of yummy information as well. For example:
"The Seventh Census of the United States: 1850. Embracing a statistical view of each of the States and Territories, arranged by counties, towns, etc...with an introduction, embracing the aggregate tables for the United States compared with every previous census since 1790..."
There are also mortality statistics as well for you to check out. All of this can be reached through their 1850 census page.
Remember that there were 6 schedules of data collected for this census and the form is only for Schedule 1:
Schedule 1 - Population
Schedule 2 - Slaves
Schedule 3 - Mortality
Schedule 4 - Agriculture
Schedule 5 - Industrial
Schedule 6 - Social Statistics
As always, if you have any trouble viewing or downloading the spreadsheet, just comment or send me an email and I'll see what I can do to fix it. So far there hasn't been any trouble since the very first sheet I posted. I'll cross my fingers!
When you view the census through Google documents it does appear as if it were 3 pages, but rest assured that when downloaded it looks like the image at the top of the blog and in one simple page.
Let me know if there are any mistakes as well. I'm sure you can imagine my eyes were starting to go crossed by the time I was done with this form! Corrections and suggestions are always welcome!
To access the form simply click on the image at the top of the page or click on anywhere it says "1850 census".
Next week I'll post an inputtable Slave Schedule for 1850. Until next time, have fun tending those roots!

Cinnamon Pumpkin Coffee Cake.
The Winter Solstice will be here soon. The holiday frenzy of gift buying and light stringing and cookie making is officially upon us. Everywhere I cast my gaze I am pummeled with messages. SHOP! BAKE! SPARKLE!
And that's okay.
Because I understand the hoopla. I know where this urge comes from. The itch to make a ruckus in the dark. To sing, brave and clear, cupping our tiny flames against Midwinter's long night.
The California sun hangs soft and low in the sky, as pale as ice cream. Hours feel clipped. Afternoons are shorter and shorter. Night creeps ever closer. Darkness will soon reign over light.
But only for a moment. One single, solitary, longest night of the year.
No wonder we gather to celebrate. The rebirth of light is no small thing. And a brand new year awaits. Front loaded with promise, and changes hoped for.
I had hoped to finally conquer gluten-free sugar cookies. But after tasting more than one middling batch (I also have to bake without butter, remember) I became more interested in reading a new book than wrestling with sugar cookie dough. Yes, I miss rolling out sugar cookies. And yes, I would be (more than!) thrilled to sign on here today and boast about the best gluten-free sugar cookie ever. But. It's not gonna happen. This week anyway.
I had two sad, cracked (and complaining) teeth yanked this week. (Celiac disease is not kind to teeth and bones. My childhood was riddled with amalgam and the torture inducing whine of belt-driven drills, cementing a lifelong terror of dentists.)
So that gave me the perfect excuse to nap. And read in bed.
I am reading Carolyn G. Heilbrun- The Last Gift of Time. I read a chapter on memory- and the seduction of nostalgia (a favorite subject of mine, you may remember). And I read this...
"Every time those of us in our last decades allow a memory to occur, we forget to look at what is in front of us, at the new ideas and pleasures we might, if firmly in the present, encounter and enjoy."
Carolyn (in her seventies when she wrote this book) urges us to stay present in the here and now as we age, and not drift into the mental trap of nostalgia and memories. I wholeheartedly agree. I love learning something new- every day- turning not to an assumption, a belief or a habit, but toward the thrill of a new skill, and new technologies (iphoneography is a new passion of mine- an art form in its infancy). Keeping myself open, engaged in the here and now means keeping things fresh. Letting go of the old, the stale past, the so-called good old days. Because as good as they were, they are not now. And as bad as some days may have been, today can be different.
Now is new.
And in this spirit, Steve and I baked a pumpkin crumb cake instead of recreating cookies. A new Christmas tradition, perhaps? Why not?
Cake for breakfast.
Karina's Wheat-Free Gluten-Free Pumpkin Crumb Cake Recipe
Originally published December 2011.This pumpkin flavored coffee cake is light and tender, topped with a cinnamon laced streusel crumb topping. A perfect cake to bake the night before Christmas. It is also divine served warm from the oven.
1 1/3 cups light brown sugar
1 cup brown rice flour or sorghum flour
3/4 cup almond or hazelnut flour
1/2 cup tapioca starch
1/4 cup cornstarch
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon xanthan gum
1 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 cup pumpkin puree
3 large organic free-range eggs, beaten
1/2 cup organic coconut oil
1 tablespoon bourbon vanilla extract
For streusel topping:
1/3 cup organic light brown sugar
3 tablespoons brown rice flour or sorghum flour
3 tablespoons organic coconut oil
2-3 tablespoons chopped walnuts or pecans (may omit)
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Line a 9-inch deep cake pan or baking dish with a piece of parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk to combine the dry ingredients: light brown sugar, brown rice or sorghum flour, almond or hazelnut flour, tapioca starch, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, xanthan gum, sea salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
Add in the pumpkin, beaten eggs, coconut oil, vanilla extract. Beat to combine.
The batter at this point will be smooth and sticky, and not too thin. Humidity affects flours, so you may need more liquid, depending upon your locale. If so, add 1-2 tablespoons non-dairy milk.
Scoop the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth it out to the edges. Use wet hands if you need to.
Make the streusel topping, combining the brown sugar, brown rice or sorghum flour, coconut oil, chopped walnuts or pecans (if using), and cinnamon. Mix until sandy.
Spread the streusel topping on the cake. Lightly press down to even it out.
Bake in the center of a preheated oven for 40 minutes, then loosely tent a piece of foil over the top to prevent the streusel from browning too much. Bake for another 10 to 15 minutes until the center of the cake is firm and a wooden pick inserted into the center emerges clean.
Cool the coffee cake on a wire rack.
Delicious served slightly warm.
May be baked the night before, cooled, and wrapped for the next morning. Slice, wrap in foil, and freeze uneaten cake slices in a freezer bag.
Cook time: 55 minutes Yield: 10-12 slices

Enjoy sugary treats in moderation.
Gluten-Free Goddess advises consuming no more
than 2 tablespoons of sugar a day.
The pumpkin and the eggs are the moisture in this cake recipe. It is not a thin batter, in fact it resembles muffin batter more than standard cake batter. If your better ends up too stiff because you live in a drier climate, you may add a tablespoon or two of soy milk or rice milk.
I made this cake with fresh organic eggs, but I have always had wonderful luck baking with Ener-G Egg Replacer (mix up the equivalent of three eggs).
I am experimenting with a blend of starches now, so I used a blend of tapioca starch and cornstarch. I think it created a lighter cake.
This is a gluten-free and dairy-free recipe.
