Traditional SMS Texting Losing Out To Popular Chat Apps
Michael Harper for redOrbit.com — Your Universe Online
The death knell has been sounding for SMS texts for several months now. Last November mobile analyst Chetan Sharma claimed SMS usage was down amongst Americans for the first time since texting was invented. The culprit for this slow murder is easy to spot; messaging apps such as iMessage and WhatsApp.WhatsApp has been the most talked about of these messaging apps lately as rumors about their potential acquisition by Google has launched them into an even larger spotlight. WhatsApp´s CEO Jan Koum even recently bragged at AllThingD's Dive Into Mobile conference that his company is bigger than Twitter, accommodating over 20 billion messages every day.
Now consultancy firm Informa has crunched some numbers for the Financial Times, finding that chat app numbers have officially surpassed SMS numbers. In less than five years the rise of smartphones has allowed app developers to usurp the hold carriers had over text-based communications, a plentiful source of revenue for telecoms. The Financial Times piece also points out that this rapid increase is seen by some as a threat to Facebook´s current hold on the social networking space.
All told, the Informa study concluded that more instant messages were being delivered by Apple´s iMessage, WhatsApp and others every day than text messages. Informa expects this will be a long-standing trend with app message usage to grow to 41 billion daily messages, more than double the amount of texts sent each day.
In the beginning, carriers allowed text messages to be sent between customers on the same network free of charge. Once the carriers realized there was money to be made in text messages, they began charging per text. Though the average text message contains about 128 bytes of data, carriers began charging around ten cents for each message. As the popularity of SMS continued to grow, carriers eventually began offering unlimited messaging plans.
Yet the massive popularity of smartphones has provided users a plethora of options when sending messages to one another. BlackBerry´s BB Messenger and Apple´s iMessage, for example, are carrier-agnostic services which allow users to send messages to other BlackBerry and iPhone users without dipping into their text allowances.
Apps like WhatsApp and Kik also allow users on nearly any device and any network to communicate via their data connection. Unless these users are connected to a Wi-Fi network, using these services will dip into their monthly data allotment. However many who spend a lot of time on Wi-Fi networks are able to get along without a text plan using any of the aforementioned apps and services.
Messaging apps have finally overtaken the SMS, but according to Informa´s data the SMS isn´t yet dead.
The consultancy firm expects messaging app usage to grow to 50 billion daily messages sent in 2014 and text messages to grow to 21 billion sent per day. This means that while the apps are overstepping SMS in leaps and bounds, SMS is also continuing to grow.
Informa´s Pamela Clark-Dickson told the BBC that while app messengers will only rise in popularity, there are other parts in the world, such as developing countries, which rely on SMS and prefer it over apps.
"They don't have mobile data plans, so there is an awfully big base of mobile phone users who are going to still find that SMS is the best messaging experience for them for a while," explained Ms. Clark-Dickson. "There is a lot of life still in SMS. There are a few things that, I think, will keep the SMS alive for a few years yet."

Earlier this year, Glenn said that he wanted to experiment with new ways to do commercial advertisements on TV. He wants to focus on the stories behind the products and use those minutes between the show content to continue to tell stories so people won't change the channel or fast forward on their DVR. The new format will debut tonight, only during Glenn's show.
Back in January, Glenn told viewers "The commercial breaks we make have to be entertaining, they have to be meaningful, interesting, storylines, everything. So, you're watching this show you don't want to change the channel because it's something good."
"We want to redefine advertising by bringing the ideas and concepts behind radio and original TV advertising to TV today," Glenn said in an email to Ad Age. "Live, in-program advertising benefits our viewers by entertaining them, and benefits our advertisers by most effectively sharing stories of why their products and services are so beneficial."
Joel Cheatwood, President and Chief Creative Officer, said "There's a universal concern over the drop-off in audience during the commercial breaks. We wanted to find a way to keep viewers engaged where you don't lose the audience and they are paying attention to the advertiser's message."
"We were reminiscing about how advertisers use to sell products — relying on trusted individuals, whether it was Johnny Carson or Edward R. Murrow, to present the product," Joel said. "There's a level of trust and you never lose contact with the key person of the program."
The new tests will present live ads that more resemble TV commercials, with visual components that could include product demonstrations or employee interviews as well as the logo of the advertiser. Mr. Beck may or may not take part in the conversation, the company said. The network is working with the test's 10 advertisers — which include Liberty Safe, Blinds.com and TV Guardian — to develop their creative approaches.
TV networks have been experimenting with different forms of TV spots as it becomes harder to get viewers to watch commercials. The results episode of "American Idol" on Fox last week included a commercial break that accompanied ads with live camera feeds from the "Idol" stage, backstage and the audience. It seemed to be the first time the "double-box" format, which has been used during some sports broadcasts, appeared in an entertainment series.

Coed housing option wont arrive in spring
Dorm rooms in Holly and Kosove Apartments were slated to make USF the first university in the state to offer coed housing, with a pilot program in spring 2012.
But now, Dean of Students Ana Hernandez said USF never intended to begin the program in the spring, despite July reports from local media outlets including The Oracle, the St. Petersburg Times and USF News. And if coed housing ever makes its way to USF, it may raise questions about the legality of the practice.
According to a clause found in Section 798.02 of Florida statutes that defines cohabitation among members of the opposite sex as "lewd and lascivious behavior," students living in coed dorms would be guilty of a secondary misdemeanor, punishable by law for up to $500 and 60 days in jail.
In July, former Housing Director Dorie Paine told The Oracle that housing was looking forward to offering the option to students, a venture she said could be profitable by attracting heterosexual couples to live on campus.
"There are plenty of males and females who move off campus because they can't live together," she said at that time. "I don't think we'll necessarily get 300 more people on campus, but it might mean that we see more people on campus, which is always good."
The push for coed housing came after a student brought the issue to the attention of Housing officials. Taylor McCue said was frequently harassed by roommates on campus because McCue identifies as transgender. McCue, a senior majoring in psychology, was offered a transfer to another male dorm.
After McCue met with Housing officials over the summer, "transitioning" was added as a gender option on housing application forms, which Paine said would allow housing officials to "reach out" to transitioning individuals and try to find "sensitive" roommates for them. The initiative was supposed to precede the gender-neutral housing pilot program for all students.
Individuals who indicated they were transitioning would be given the options of living in single rooms reserved for special circumstances or with anyone who mutually agrees to share a room with them.
The language of the Florida statute that prevents a "man" and a "woman" from living together would allow transgender individuals to cohabitate with individuals sharing the same gender identity as them, but not necessarily biological sex.
Paine, now director of student success and mentoring, said to The Oracle on Wednesday that Housing always intended to launch the program in fall 2012, which Hernandez said USF is "in the process of exploring as a possible alternative."
"The intent was never to introduce a gender-neutral housing option in the spring semester," Hernandez said. "It would be that we would be potentially launching the pilot program, which is when we would open up our applications for our returning students to apply to return for next fall. So, the intent of the pilot program was always going to be to introduce it for occupancy in the fall, but the application process in the spring, so that may have been part of that confusion point."
Hernandez said much has to be done before the pilot options can be considered.
"We're exploring some logistical questions and trying to figure out if the program is going to be feasible for us," she said. "There are a number of factors we need to explore before launching a pilot program."
Hernandez said she was "not interested in commenting on" what those factors are but said the legality issue is "certainly something (Housing) would be looking into."
Despite the efforts of some state legislators, the legality of coed housing will not change by the fall semester.
In September, Rep. Ritch Workman, R-District 30, proposed a bill for the second time that would makes cohabitation in Florida legal. Workman's bill was not heard either time it was proposed, as he could not find a Senate sponsor.
On the 2010 census, 544, 907 Florida residents listed themselves as living with an unmarried partner.
"That's (almost) 550,000 criminals," Workman said. "The only reason I want to repeal these laws is because they are unenforced and unenforceable. Laws that are in the books have the potential to steal your liberty and freedom."
Yet, Workman, said as a parent and strong conservative, he's not a big fan of the idea of cohabitation. He said he doesn't plan to propose the change again until he finds a senator in support of the bill.
"I really don't care one way or another about cohabitation," he said. "Morals are taught at home or in church, not by (USF) or any school, for that matter. That's up to you and your God and your family - whatever you set your barometer as."
Workman, who went Appalachian State University that offered coed housing, said he would not want his child to live in a coed dorm.
"I would do whatever I could do to prevent my daughter from staying in a cohabitated dorm, including taking away her cell phone or whatever it takes to convince me," he said. "I'm not a big fan, but it shouldn't be illegal. I'll teach my daughter her morals."
The law has not stopped students of opposite sexes from living together off campus, where many turn a blind eye to the issue.
An employee of On50 apartments, an apartment complex popular with USF students, said the complex, like others, uses individual leases to get around the statute, leaving students responsible for their own living arrangements. The employee spoke under condition of anonymity so as to not speak for the company.
Hernandez said Housing would know by spring "whether (the pilot program for fall) was going to be moving forward or not."

Even though I've knit for nearly thirty years it's been only recently that I've really bothered to "learn how" to knit. Part of that was learning how to knit continental. For me, at least, it made it possible to follow those obliguely written stitch instructions. For some reason I couldln't figure out something as simple as a yarn over when doing English but for some reason continental makes it all understandable. I think it has to do with being severely left handed. Anyway, now that the knitting world is my oyster so to say I can see those things that I will pursue and those that I probably won't. I have a raging metabolism and the temperatrue has to be in single digits for me to wear a sweater - not something that happens that much in St. Louis. So I'm having a hard time getting motivated for that kind of knitting plus for some reason I'm not into making stuff for myself. I do love watching lace patterns evolve and take shape and blocking is just too magical. I seem to be constantly enchanted with lace shawls and scarves and peruse my many lace books constantly. This is not something I could have perdicted a few years ago - maybe I should blame Mario.
And socks, I love making and giving away socks, hats too but mostly socks. I think there is something magical about hand knit socks. I almost always make a pair of socks with someone in mind and I'm always thinking of that person as I knit. Maybe they can feel that as they wear them, I hope so.
In short, I can see where my knitting is headed and it makes me excited to think about but I'm not saying "never" to anything. I really love this new creative world that has opened up to me.
I wish I were a better writer. Geez, let's talk stream of consciousness. Sorry.
You do beautiful knitting! I
You do beautiful knitting! I fully understand the lack of sweaters...have you thought about knitting a sleeveless , possibly zippered, vest? I find them perfect for San Francisco weather...and I agree...knitting socks is wonderfully rewarding!

It only makes sense to knit what we enjoy knitting- to do otherwise is to not take pleasure in our knitting and to add to our UFO piles.

I've only knit around 5 - 6 sweater type things in all my years of plying needles and yarn. I enjoy sweater knitting but it just isn't high on my list. It just shows that you should knit what you enjoy. No harm in that. -- Books, knitting, cats, fountain pens...Life is Good.

for me, knitting is my therapy. i'm cranky if i miss it for even a day. but it became expensive and i couldn't keep making things for me, so i opened up the offer that if anyone bought the yarn and pattern, i would make it. it keeps me in constant supply, builds my leftovers and builds my pattern library. i still can pick and choose projects and so far the waiting list is not that long.
i too love the development of lace, particularly in spiral patterns where it constantly changes. working on a lace sweater in kidsilk haze that is finally coming along nicely.
blaspemy alert - i have zero patience for socks. i don't wear socks much (southern california), never find them comfy (too loose or lose their shape and stretch and fall down) and don't much like colorway or all the effort that goes into something no one sees
all i know of love, is love is all there is

I believe we are all at a place in life to know exactly what we like doing, at least most of the day. The only brilliant part of getting older. So I really like knitting the home goods. Cushions mainly. So far they are for myself but just two weeks ago a client I'm an interior designer) asked me for a couple YAHOO. I'm slowly discovering that the french patterns fit me better and I might start to enjoy sweaters - who knows. I love the open ended possibilities of this passion.

AK-47 might have great season for Nets
Hes 32 years old and its been a while since he was the Jazzs do-it-all player known as AK-47. Durability issues dot his past couple of NBA seasons he spent 2011-12 with CSKA Moscow but with Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce in Brooklyn now, Kirilenko wont be expected to rack up big minutes. That will leave him free to pass, cut and get plenty of easy baskets from Deron Williams on offense and to cut off the angles, hit the boards and block a couple of shots per game on defense. Hell accept his role and make the most of it. He left $10 million on the table in Minnesota for a chance to win big in Brooklyn and could be a key ingredient if the Nets big offseason gamble is going to pay off.

Bishop Allen & Another Contest
I know Matt and Dodge already posted this new Bishop Allen track, but the band dropped me a line and told me to check it out too. I'm a huge Bishop Allen fan (thanks solely to Matt), and this song, a touching love letter to an orphaned piano, does not disappoint. The song can be found on the January EP, the first EP of 12 (one for each month of 2006). The EP even has a song about my hometown, Big D (that's Dallas).
Bishop Allen Corazon mp3
Buy the January EP here (best 5 bucks you'll spend all week). The band only pressed 1000 copies, and I'm pretty sure those will sell out, so act quick.
From the same people who brought you the Cat Power Digipack contest comes this:
Enter in the comments to win what has been described to me as "a really, really limited edition Belle & Sebastian "The Life Pursuit" digi-book (seriously, it's like a book) with a live BBC session bonus disc." Man, I want one of these for myself, but alas, this will go to the person who can guess my middle name (i'm running out of contest ideas). Those who already know my middle name are not eligible. If there's a tie, I'll select a winner at random.

- v. Simple past tense and past participle of superadd.
Sorry, no etymologies found.
The molars are known as the superadded permanent teeth because they do not take the place of milk teeth, but form farther back as the jaw grows in length.
These are three in number on either side in each jaw, and are termed superadded permanent teeth.
Faith is consequently an intellectual assent; a kind of superadded knowledge distinct from, yet continuous with, the knowledge derived from experience.
These five days are to this day called the "Epagomenae," [FN#297] that is, the superadded, and they are observed by them as the birthdays of their gods. [
Legends of the Gods The Egyptian Texts, edited with Translations
This reading implies a distinction in etiology for superadded qualities.
According to Ayers '"divine architect" interpretation, Locke makes no distinction in etiology by calling a property superadded; he means only that God selected the property with particular care when first creating matter.
Newton consistently denies that it is essential (for instance in his explanatory remarks following Rule 3 of the Principia) and Locke refers to it only as power superadded or endowed by God.
However, Locke allows, it is possible that God has superadded the power of thought directly to matter.
Whereas Locke argues that the human being might, for all we know, be matter with thought superadded, Norris claims in no uncertain terms that the human being is a substantial union.
Locke, at 4.3.6 of the Essay, states we might be bodies with thought superadded.

1960 – 2013
Jan "Nita" Rosenauer, 53, went to be with the Lord Wednesday, Aug. 21, 2013.
Services were Saturday at Biggers Funeral Home chapel.
Nita was born in Arkadelphia, Ark., February 2, 1960 to James and Charlene Sossamon. She married Richard Rosenauer on April, 29, 2006 in Ozark, MO. Richard was the love of her life and became a huge part of her family's life. Nita loved her younger brother, Mike Sossamon, dearly and cherished her children, Brandi and Brandon. She had a heart of gold and a love that was never ending to all of those she came in contact with. Her three granddaughters, Hailey, Allison and Trinity, were the love of her life and the light of her day. In her eyes, they could do no wrong. Nita worked for Educare of Texas, where she took care of very sweet individuals with disabilities. Next to her grandchildren, these individuals meant the world to her and owned her heart. She will truly be missed by them and those that worked with her.
Nita is preceded in death by her parents James William Sossamon and Charlene Elizabeth Sossamon of Camden, Ark.
She is survived by her loving spouse, Richard Rosenauer of Azle; daughter and husband, Brandi and Allen Wilkins; granddaughters, Hailey, Allison and Trinity Wilkins of Azle; son, Brandon McCain of Granite, Okla.; and her dear brother, wife and nephew Mike, Kathi and Parker Sossamon of Hollister, MO. She leaves behind many other family, extended family and friends in which she touched their hearts as they did hers.

Art on the front line
2012-05-27 10:00
Charl Blignaut
South African artists have a long history of courting controversy and challenging authority. Contentious works have often been greeted by violence and have elevated their creators to international fame.
Charl Blignaut digs out some of the works that have caused consternation over the years
This article contains a history of art that has offended. The pictures may offend you. Some of it is not suitable for young readers.
1 The late Trevor Makhoba's 1999 painting Pain in the Mountains was recently shown in a landmark exhibition looking at HIV, Aids and antiretrovirals.
Traditional ceremonies are always a controversial theme in our art.
One of KwaZulu-Natal's great painting masters, Makhoba here depicts, mythologises and critiques an initiation ceremony involving circumcision.
In recent years the KwaZulu-Natal government has been promoting clinical circumcision as a means to combat HIV.
2 and 3. In the apartheid years it was illegal to depict the image of Nelson Mandela, but several resistance artists did.
Artists like Phuthuma Seoka also lampooned apartheid's leaders. In 1985 he made a work showing PW Botha as blinkered and comical.
Such artworks shown in galleries were seldom banned, but once they became posters, T-shirts or postcards, they were halted at once by the state censors, who would list the offending articles in the government gazette.
A simple postcard of Miriam Makeba by Sue Williamson attracted the ire of the security service when it was offered to a Grahamstown bookshop to sell and they reported her to the state.
4 Performance artist Steven Cohen uses the streets as his gallery and always leaves controversy in his wake. Here he is thrown out of Fort Klapperkop in Pretoria during a right-wing celebration in 1998.
The artist has frequently been beaten and arrested for his firebrand form of politics. He was also refused entry to a local contemporary dance festival.
5 Art student Kaolin Thompson's Useful Objects, showing a vagina as an ashtray, so enraged then deputy speaker in the National Assembly Baleka Kgositsile (now Mbete) in 1996 that she demanded it be banned for insulting black women.
6 When Candice Breitz showed her Rainbow Series in 1996 she proved the rainbow nation was more a dream than a reality. She was severely criticised for cultural insensitivity.
7 Satirical artist Anton Kannemeyer has frequently lampooned South Africa's leaders. This, one of his tamer works, was his take on Thabo Mbeki in 2003.
8 The iconic 1961 painting The Black Christ by Ronnie Harrison depicts Chief Albert Luthuli being crucified by Hendrik Verwoerd and John Vorster.
It was considered blasphemous and subversive by the government, which detained and tortured the artist for seven days.
The painting was smuggled out of the country and only returned 30 years later to hang in the national gallery in Cape Town.
9 A painting of Nelson Mandela undergoing an autopsy was condemned by the ANC in 2010 for violating Madiba's dignity.
The artist, Yiull Damaso, said he wanted people to confront death. A public storm raged around the work.
10 In 2010 photographer and activist Zanele Muholi's depiction of lesbian couples embracing so enraged then arts minister Lulu Xingwana that she stormed out of a state-sponsored exhibition, calling the work pornographic.
The art world responded with fury and a scandal was born.
11 In 1990 an angry representation debate centred on Steve Hilton-Barber's photographic essay of a Northern Sotho initiation ceremony.
Outraged critics said he had the right to portray a sacred ritual but unknown opponents broke into the gallery and removed the works.
12 Sculptor Samson Mudzunga created a storm of outrage in Venda culture when, throughout the late 1990s, he challenged the myths of the sacred Lake Fundudzi.
An inter-tribal war broke out when Mudzunga carved a coffin and buried himself in it in the lake to prove there were no zombies there.
13 When Brett Murray won a public sculpture competition in 1998, his work Africa created much heated debate.
Depicting a West African artwork sprouting Bart Simpson heads, he was accused of insulting African culture and making the streets of Cape Town ugly.
Radio stations ran polls and protesters threatened to destroy the work, which took a year to finally see the light of day. Murray said he was depicting Africa as a dumping ground for Western culture.
14 Another sculptor to tackle tricky issues head on is Gordon Froud.
His Jacob XX is "a conglomeration of sperm babies" referring to "President Zuma's penchant for reproduction".
The work debuted in 2011 at the KZNSA gallery as part of an exhibition about HIV and Aids. Unlike Murray's Zuma work, Jacob XX was uncontroversial and many visiting school tours were taken to see it.

Primary Sources: Can 'Natural Mentors' Protect Homeless Youth From Behaving in Risky Ways?
"Exploring Protective Factors Among Homeless Youth: The Role of Natural Mentors." Michelle T. Dang, Katherine J. Conger, Joshua Breslau and Elizabeth Miller. Journal of Health Care for the Poor and Underserved, Vol. 25, No. 3 (August 2014).
What it's about: Researchers surveyed 197 homeless young people ages 14 to 21 from community agencies and school districts in Northern California to find out if they have adult mentors in their lives other than their parents. When youth do have "natural mentors," the researchers wanted to know, how do those allies affect youths' decisions about using substances, having sex and breaking the law? And, how do mentors affect the way young people view their social supports and mental health? In particular, the researchers wanted to explore the protective impact of ongoing, supportive relationships and the potential ill effects of mentors who engage in negative behaviors such as stealing and drug abuse.
Why read it: Permanent connections is one of the four outcomes promoted by the Family and Youth Services Bureau's Runaway and Homeless Youth Programs. Because many homeless youth move from place to place, structured mentoring programs may not be a good fit for them. But many youth have connections to adults who are important to them. One nationally representative study of adolescents found that 73 percent had relationships with important non-parental adults. The same young people also reported higher self-esteem, less gang involvement and increased likelihood of attending college.
Better understanding the potential impact of so-called natural mentors—both positive and negative—can help family- and youth-serving programs make more informed decisions as they consider incorporating them into existing programs for homeless young people.
Biggest takeaways for family and youth workers: As in the national study of adolescents, nearly three-quarters of participants in this study reported having natural mentors.
- Nearly half of the mentors were identified as older siblings or extended families.
- Most young people described mentors as "like a parent" or a "role model."
- Twenty percent said they connected with their natural mentors daily.
Young people with a natural mentor reported higher satisfaction with the level of social support they felt they had. They were also more likely to attend school despite unstable living situations. Mentors contributed more to feelings of support than the participants' parents or peers.
Despite these strong connections, the only type of behavior mentors appeared to have a significant impact on was young people's sexual behaviors. Mentors reduced young people's tendency to engage in risky behaviors and increased the likelihood of their protecting themselves, for example by using condoms.
The researchers had hypothesized that young people would be likely to mimic mentors' "problem" behaviors. The hypothesis was not supported by the data, though the authors caution that 10 percent of participants did not answer questions about their mentors' negative activities.
In light of these findings, the authors say, agencies should consider working with young people to find adults they can turn to for support or to strengthen existing connections. But be sure to vet potential mentors, the authors say, to reduce young people's chances of being negatively influenced by someone they see as a role model.
Additional references: Look for more articles on mentoring in NCFY's research library.
You can also learn about an emerging natural mentor program being piloted among Philadelphia youth in foster care.

It's saying, 'This is the person I want to be and I'm going to keep my eye on it, God willing!'"

However, I suspect this isn't really the right forum to discuss a dictionary protocol. CMN I understand the issue of whether something should be on the web or on the server as a bandwidth one. I agree that there is a lot of protocol stuff in it, and I think the answer has a lot to do with caching dictionaries, which can be built into clients if people want...

CMN (my translation - it is some years since I was in Italy, but I think you are mistaken) I am not sure if it is correct Italian or not, but it is certainly a very practice (see comments about using AP style in english) to write abbreviations as we write "proper nouns" in english - first letter only is capitalised. E.g. Dna instead of DNA. And it is some hours since I was reading Italian newspapers.

There was a time in my life when I lived in an untidy house, too much big for me alone.
I was typically dipped in the depression/messy house cycle, totally unable to unfuck my habitat and live in a more decent way, for certain reasons I don't want to explain to you now since this blog is not about memories.
In the bedroom there was a large bed which occupied pretty much all the room, so there was no table, just a white shelf where I was used to stack my books, CDs & other unidentified objects.
The big screen of my old PC was there, not a flat one either, since it was just the beginning of the XXI century, and most of the inexpensive PC screen looked like this
On the walls of my bedroom there were no naked girls, just two posters: the first was of Salvador Dali's "Dream Caused by the Flight of a Bee Around a Pomegranate a Second Before Awakening" – but that is another story.
The second was the poster of the Blade Runner movie
Moreover, I had some old games installed in my PC, one of them was the 1997 version of Blade Runner developed by Westwood Studios I used to play a lot with, after getting back from my gym club to 2 in the morning – I usually woke up at 8.30 and went to work quite late – good old times and plenty of time to waste in my lonely nights.
So, I change my name in Paul – from my real first Italian name Paolo – and Deckard, from the movie…and that's all to answer to the question above: Why me?

Look Up Request 1880, 1890, 1900 Census - Swigart
Solomon Gladden & Elizabeth Ann (Miller) Swigart,
moved from Newton, Jasper Co, Iowa to near Ravenna, Buffalo Co Nebraska in March of 1880. They lived there until Solomon's death in May of 1900, when Elizabeth moved back to Iowa to live with some of her children.
The census data I desire is: who is in the household, names of children, places of birth of parents etc. the full details. The data can be emailed or snail mailed. I will reimburse costs of photocopying, postage, scanning etc.
Any other Swigarts in Buffalo County are probably related, I would like any information on their households too.
Thank you for your generosity of spirit, courtesy and assistance.
Michael Swigart

Duncan McPherson
I am going insane trying to find some information about Duncan McPherson.
b:1818 and d:in 1867 in Glsgow(m)Eliza Brodie.
His fathers name, as listed on his death certificate, was Pryce McPherson (can't find any record of him either) and his mothers name was Ann.
Can anyone help me with McPherson's in Glasgow?

Jeffrey Biegel is one of today's most respected artists having created a multi-faceted career as a pianist, recording artist, composer and arranger. His electrifying technique and mesmerizing touch has received critical acclaim and garners praise worldwide. Known for his standard-setting performances of the standard repertoire, Mr. Biegel's performances to begin the 2011-12 season includes his adaptation of pop legend Neil Sedaka's 'Manhattan Intermezzo' for piano and orchestra with Orchestra Kentucky, and the World Premiere of Ellen Taaffe Zwilich's 'Shadows' for piano and orchestra, with the Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra leading the consortium project with several orchestras. His recent recordings include 'A Steinway Christmas Album' and, 'Bach On A Steinway' for the Steinway label, Leroy Anderson's 'Concerto in C', conducted by Leonard Slatkin with the BBC Concert Orchestra, Ellen Taaffe Zwilich's 'Millennium Fantasy' and 'Peanuts Gallery', a solo cd of Vivaldi's 'Four Seasons' for Naxos, 'Classical Carols' for Koch and the Complete Sonatas by Mozart on the E1 label. In 2010, he performed two world premieres with the Pacific Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Carl St. Clair: Richard Danielpour's 'Mirrors for Piano and Orchestra', and, William Bolcom's 'Prometheus for Piano, Orchestra and Chorus'. Mr. Biegel's 'Hanukah Fantasy' for SATB/piano, is published by the Hal Leonard Corporation, along with Lucas Richman's orchestral arrangement with choir, published by the LeDor Group. Mr. Biegel has also created Trio21, being joined with violinist Kinga Augustyn and cellist Robert deMaine. For their inaugural season 2011-12, they will perform a new work commissioned exclusively for Trio21 by the celebrated composer, Kenneth Fuchs and record the new composition for an all-Kenneth Fuchs project for the Naxos label.
Jeffrey Biegel's career has been marked by bold, creative achievements. In the late 1990's, he initiated the first live internet recitals in New York and Amsterdam, and assembled a consortium of more than 25 orchestras to celebrate the millennium with the premiere of Ellen Taaffe Zwilich's Millennium Fantasy for Piano and Orchestra. In 2006, Mr. Biegel joined 18 co-commissioning orchestras for Lowell Liebermann's Concerto no. 3 for Piano and Orchestra, which was composed exclusively for him. He has played premieres of new works and arrangements with the Boston Pops, New York Pops, the American Symphony Orchestra, the Eastern Music Festival Orchestra, as well as the symphony orchestras of Minnesota, Indianapolis, and Harrisburg, among others.
Born a second-generation American, Mr. Biegel's roots are of Russian and Austrian heritage. Until the age of three, Mr. Biegel could neither hear nor speak, until corrected by surgery. The 'reverse Beethoven' phenomenon can explain Mr. Biegel's life in music, having heard only vibrations in his formative years.
Mr. Biegel's published works include The World In Our Hands (Hal Leonard), Christmas In A Minute (Hal Leonard), The Twelve Days of Christmas (Hal Leonard), Hey Ho, the Wind and the Rain (Hal Leonard), Hanukah Fantasy (Hal Leonard), Different Kind of Hero (Carl Fischer), and Elegy of Anne Boleyn (Carl Fischer). His most recent composition is There Shines a Light Ahead for SATB chorus, soprano soloist and piano. It receives its World Premiere in 2011 by the Mt. Sinai High School Choir in New York.

"There's a good chance," Stoops said Monday when asked if the Sooners would use a four-man front against Notre Dame. "But I'm not gonna give you any percentages on it."
Oklahoma has used a four-man front for the great majority of Stoops' time in Norman but through the first three games, the defensive line has been almost exclusively in a three-man front, usually in a 3-3-5 defensive alignment.
Stoops said Torrea Peterson, Jordan Wade and Quincy Russell were the top candidates at defensive tackle to step in next to Jordan Phillips.

The place is Hill's Cafe in Austin. It is a bar/cafe that Wes has performed at before.Originally Posted by ThePhantomsGirl;3486855;
Also in that sc in the original preview you see Wes playing guitar on a stage, that must be from the HTD as well? So he takes her to the bar, then the family? Or is it just a friends thing like Melissa's was...Originally Posted by sclilred1;3486957;

we don't know yetOriginally Posted by lovemygirls;3486961;
From what I understand Wes family does not live in Austin. With him staying in a hotel in Austin it also seems like his family does not make it to see/meet Jillian. What SC are you referring to with Wes on stage?Originally Posted by lovemygirls;3486961;

Thanks! Yep, that is LLS on the back of the stage which is HILL's Cafe then.Originally Posted by counthestarsxo;3486968;
We need not think alike to love alike
Yes, that is the stage at Hill's Cafe.Originally Posted by lovemygirls;3486972;
I think that is his old stomping grounds a place he'd played at before. I found a web page with info on it (think I can post links like that here...?)
Texas And Music - Wes Hayden
Well, next week looks interesting. And it's still a he said/he said situation. As it's pretty clear he gets a HTD, he'll make it through next week.
Yeah, he makes it through. But, from what Jillian has said in interviews she doesn't seem to resent him. I think on the htd he finally confesses (or Jake comes and tells her and then he confesses) but I think he may have actually started falling for her. She said he's a great guy but he's got some issues he needs to work out (or something along those lines).Originally Posted by ThePhantomsGirl;3489940;

ficus triangulata

Question ID: 386176
My aunt's florist said her amazing indoor tree was a "ficus triangulata." But, I haven't found anything online by that name. It was a beautiful mid-size (4-5 ft.) indoor tree with small leaves. It looks Asian to me. Any ideas? She also thought it might be a ming aurelia (but, I'm not sure that's right either.) Thanks!

text: During 1965-66, I studied in Raja Doraisingam Memorial College, Sivagangai. We were residing at Manamadurai, a nearby place, from where I used to commute to and fro to attend classes. This is how Sivagangai came into my life. Nearly 45 years after my college days there, I visited the place with my dear friend, Senthil, and clicked the landmarks for posting in my blog.
