Thomas Florschuetz | Buildings and Structures
29 October 2010 – 22 January 2011
Opening on Friday, 29 Oktober at 6.00 pm with Thomas Florschuetz
Buildings and Structures
exhibition concentrates on works from the
Neues Museum, Palast, La Jolla
series. The titles themselves point to the fact that
Thomas Florschuetz
(*1957, Zwickau) deals with prominent architectural structures such as Oscar Niemeyer's buildings in Brasilia, Louis Kahn's
Salk Institute
in La Jolla, the Neues Museum, boldly restored by Chipperfield, or the ruin left by the demolition of the Palast der Republik in Berlin.
His fascination with clearly defined shapes, such as steel beams, columns and window frames, and his feel for the monumental dimensions of his motifs, is also strongly reflected in his Jets series. The large-format pieces show details of decommissioned military jet aeroplanes in the
Pima Air and Space Museum
in Tucson, Arizona. In spite of the close-up frontality that takes up nearly the entire frame, his use of focus and lighting makes the size of the aeroplanes almost tangible.
The monumental pieces by Thomas Florschuetz are produced in series, with motifs that are shot from perspectives that vary only slightly from one photograph to the next. It is always fragments; the depicted elements are only touched on, incomplete, but Florschuetz still creates balanced, harmonious pictures with fragments that always serve the composition.
The conflicting experiences in viewing his works come as a surprise. On the one hand we have the strange flatness of the pictures, in which the different structures and colours appear to be composed in the abstract. But then the perception topples into a deep three-dimensionality in the photography in the manner of an optical illusion. The spatial alignment in the three-part work
Enclosure (Neues Museum) 11
for example creates an inescapable maelstrom. The sheer size of the piece alone makes this effect physical.
With the intense exploration of each motif, be it his own body, orchids, architecture or aeroplanes, Thomas Florschuetz creates impressive visual worlds that work on graphical, physical and planimetrical levels – sometimes on all three at the same time.
The exhibition shows an extract from Florschuetz's multilayered work that was most recently honoured with the extensive
retrospective in the Kunsthalle Tübingen (17 July – 26 September 2010) and that will be shown in the Museum Palatine Gallery in Kaiserslautern on 28 January.
A catalogue accompanying the
exhibition has been published by Verlag der Buchhandlung Walther König and can be ordered through the gallery.

Tweet search – one code, three mobile platforms (wp7, monodroid, monotouch) (via Sigurd Snørteland)

Interesting article..
What WP7 Devices lacks from?
Posted by pradeepviswav in Microsoft, Windows phone on October 25, 2010
In reading a review of Windows Phone 7 or the comments attached to them it is quite common to run accross a list of features which Windows Phone 7 lack, and which means the OS is doomed to fail.
I have therefore decided to commented on each item in this pretty standard list to address these perceived "shortcomings".
No System-wide File Manager
– A System-wide File Manager is needed only when you want to deal with different type of File types organised in folders. WP7 has Documents, Albums which supports Folders which is more than enough for a mobile device. Also you have Skydrive integration which has few file managing options.
No Video Calling
-Video Calling is a option for OEM's in WP7. They can choose it for their device if they want.
No Smart Dialling
–Smart Dialling allows you to call your fav.contacts easily. WP7 has various other ways to do the same task, for example you can pin your fav.contact in the start screen or you can use WP7's speech recognition feature.
Limited third-party apps
– Its not fair to expect or compare a new platform with other established platforms .A new platform with 2000 quality apps is a very good number. Quality is more important than quantity.
No USB mass storage mode/No Bluetooth file transfers
–Piracy and Security is the main reason of not enabling this feature. It protects you from various problems. Want to share a file to your friend? Use Skydrive. Zune Client is good for file transfer between phone and PC.
No memory card support
–Using Memory card to store images is inferior when compared to storing it in your personal cloud like Skydrive, Facebook, etc,.
No multitasking
-True Multitasking drains phone's battery life which is the main reason Microsoft planned not to implement it in the first release. And Microsoft knows multitasking better than its competitors because their previous mobile OS Windows Mobile had it. Current version of WP7 supports multitasking by tombstoning. Also applications such as Zune,Browser support multitasking.
No copy paste
-WP7 doesn't have copy paste. But it provides Smart Sensing to detect phone numbers,Address in a website,etc,.But its on the way through next update as confirmed by Joe Belfiore. Also Microsoft is evaluating Tuck&Paste concept which may arrive in future updates.
Too dependent on Zune software for computer file management and syncing
–Zune is the desktop client for WP7 and its very simple,intuitive to use. If you don't like it then use Windows Live Skydrive.
No music player equalisers
-WP7 doesn't have out of the box equaliser for avid music fans. But some WP7 devices such as from HTC has more than Music equalisers. They have Sound Enhancer app that shall deliver equalizer sound effects for a richer listening and viewing experience. Also, equalizer presets automatically mix bass, treble and vocal levels for maximum effect, whatever your type of music.
No Flash or Silverlight support in the web browser
–Yes,Its not supported as of now. But it wont be forever as in the case of iPhone. Microsoft is open to support Adobe Flash in its platform(Rumour: Adobe is going to release beta version of Flash for WP7 before this year). Silverlight support in browser is on the way.
No sign of free Bing maps Navigation so far
–Bing Maps provides navigation from Point A to Point B. But the turn-by-turn voice guided navigation is not available. But carrier's and OEM's can have their own navigation systems on their WP7 devices. For example Orange has its own navigation service built into the WP7 devices.
No DivX/XviD video support
– Its listed in MSDN support website that Windows Phone 7 has DivX/Xvid support. We have posted about it here already.
I've commented on these features based on my knowledge. if you have better comments or if you dont agree with the comments, Let us know in the comments section.

History Timeline
Dr. Samuel Guze
Dr. Samuel Guze obtained his MD from Washington University in 1945. He continued his training in internal medicine at Barnes Hospital and Washington University, except for a year of medicine training in Connecticut. In 1950, he became a psychosomatic medicine fellow working with Dr. George Saslow. In 1955, Dr. Guze became an assistant professor of psychiatry, with promotion to associate professor in 1959 and full professor in 1964. Along with Eli Robins, Dr. Guze was one of the most influential figures in American psychiatry during the latter part of the 20th century, leading the revolution in criteria-based diagnoses that became DSM-III. He and Dr. Robins also developed criteria for validating psychiatric diagnoses that are still used today. In addition to clinical and research skills, Dr. Guze served Washington University in several major administrative roles. He became the Assistant to the Dean from 1965 to 1971. In 1971, he was appointed the Vice Chancellor for Medical Affairs of the Medical School where he oversaw the redevelopment of the Medical Center and the Central West End. In 1975, he also became Head of the Department of Psychiatry. He maintained both positions until 1989 and served as Department Head again from 1993 until 1997. Dr. Guze was the first recipient of the Spencer T. Olin Professorship in Psychiatry. In 1999, he and his family established the Samuel B. Guze Professorship. Dr. Guze passed away in July 2000.

In efforts to stop people from either negging someone to death or giving too many greenies, the site admin decided to add a checking mechanism to the AP system. The problem is that it only checks to see the interval between assignments of points to a specific user, not whether the points are positive or negative.
Here is a situation where this is no good. A user has been a pain in the ass and you reward them with a nice pile of negative APs. Now, the same user has redeemed their awfulness and you now want to reward them with positive APs. Well you can't because like I mentioned, the check is done solely on the username, not what type of points AND the username.
Anyway, it would be nice to add that additional logic into the code.

diy Ikea hacks, diy Ikea painted step stool, ikea hack step stool, Ikea step stool, painted ikea stool, reverse stencilled Ikea step stool, Wall decals
Happy New Year everyone! I'm excited about sharing a few projects that I couldn't publish before Christmas, because they were gifts (so I had to be hush, hush)! You may all know by now that I love Ikea, so what better way to start off 2013 than by showing you how to hack an Ikea stepstool and really customize it to your decor. This wooden Ikea stool runs about $18 and is real wood, not MDF (woohoo!!).
I wanted to personalize it for my niece, so I went with some branch/bird wall decals that I picked up at the dollar store, and paired those with some CeCe Caldwell paint in a soft Kentucky Mint green. The stool did not need any sanding, so I just applied the decals and re-arranged them a little until I got the look I liked.
Then I painted directly over them with two coats of CeCe Caldwell.
After the second coat, I carefully removed the decals and used my fingernail to gently push out any small areas where the paint bled under the decal. After the paint was completely dry I lightly distressed some of the stools edges and applied two coats of satin poly acrylic. DONE! I really like the wood grain showing – this is the cool thing about reverse stencilling.
I might just have to go and pick one up for myself – this stool is the perfect height for a vertically challenged person like me to reach the top cupboards in the laundry room!
Have you ever done an Ikea hack?

In a production environment in which applications must be reliably deployed and run, administration is more important. Administrative tasks to be performed depend on the complexity of the messaging system and of the applications it must support. Such tasks can be classified into two general categories: setup operations and maintenance operations.
Administrative setup operations in a production environment typically include some or all of the following:
Administrator security
Setting the password for the default administrative user (admin) (Changing a User's Password)
Controlling individual or group access to the administrative connection service (Authorization Rules for Connection Services) and the dead message queue (Authorization Rules for Physical Destinations)
Regulating administrative group access to a file-based or Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) user repository (User Groups and Status, Using an LDAP User Repository)
General security
Managing the contents of a file-based user repository (Using the User Manager Utility) or configuring the broker to use an existing LDAP user repository (Using an LDAP User Repository)
Controlling the operations that individual users or groups are authorized to perform (User Authorization)
Setting up encryption services using the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) (Message Encryption)
Administered objects
Setting up and configuring an LDAP object store ( LDAP Server Object Stores)
Creating connection factories and destinations ( Adding Administered Objects)
Broker clusters
Creating a cluster configuration file (The Cluster Configuration File)
Designating a master broker (Managing a Conventional Cluster's Configuration Change Record)
Configuring a broker to use a persistent store (Chapter 8, Configuring Persistence Services).
Memory management
Setting a destination's configuration properties to optimize its memory usage (Updating Physical Destination Properties, Chapter 17, Physical Destination Property Reference)
Because application performance, reliability, and security are at a premium in production environments, message service resources must be tightly monitored and controlled through ongoing administrative maintenance operations, including the following:
Broker administration and tuning
Using broker metrics to tune and reconfigure a broker ( Chapter 13, Analyzing and Tuning a Message Service)
Managing broker memory resources (Managing Broker System-Wide Memory)
Creating and managing broker clusters to balance message load (Chapter 10, Configuring and Managing Broker Clusters)
Recovering failed brokers (Starting Brokers).
Administered objects
Adjusting connection factory attributes to ensure the correct behavior of client applications (Connection Factory Attributes)
Monitoring and managing physical destinations ( Configuring and Managing Physical Destinations)
Controlling user access to destinations ( Authorization Rules for Physical Destinations)
Client management
Monitoring and managing durable subscriptions (see Managing Durable Subscriptions).
Monitoring and managing transactions (see Managing Transactions).

Posted 3 June 2010
On June 2nd 2010, Ken Griffey Jr, one of the most prolific home run hitters in baseball history, announced his retirement from Major League Baseball after 21 years playing the game.
In honor of Ken Griffey Jr.'s retirement, I've put together my list of the most iconic baseball cards of all-time, taking a look at the cards that have most dramatically caught the eye of collectors around the country. Griffey Jr's cards were highly coveted early in his career – not only because he was a fan-favorite and highly marketable – but also because his early career put him on a trajectory to shatter records.
Keep in mind that the cards listed here aren't necessarily the most valuable, instead, they have received the most chatter from collectors and baseball enthusiasts over the years. But to give context, we've included price information from Beckett.com.
So, what are the most iconic baseball cards of all time? Click ahead to see the list!

I'll put some answers in-line below. >Hi, > >I am beginner and just started to learn about cluster technology. My goal is >to build a cluster that could be used for FEA ultimately. I have searched >the web and it confused me more on how to do this. I was advised that this >was a good place to ask questions and I would be getting some real help. > >1. Did anybody built a cluster for FEA application? > > Sure. Lots of people run FEA on clusters. Do you plan to use a commercial FEA package or do you want to write your own? If it's a commercial package then you will likely need lots of IO for each node. A few disks configured using RAID-0 (striping) to get maximum bandwidth. If you're writing your own, well then you are in luck. If you design your code well, you IO requirements should be small (one of the reasons commercial packages use so much IO is due to using legacy code that is not really designed for distributed memory). Anyway, the biggest thing you have to worry about from a cluster perspective is the solver. There are a number of good parallel sparse solvers out there. Some of them are even good at out-of-core solutions. There are also some good dense solvers out there (PLAPACK is my recommendation) that also have out-of-core capability. >2. What type of cluster should I select for FEA ? > > If you are using either a commercial package or writing your own, network bandwidth it likely to be a bottleneck. So something like Myrinet, IB, Quadrics, Dolphin, etc. are good choices. If these are too expensive, then GigE is the way to go. For commerical apps, you're going to need lots of IO in the nodes. >3. What Clustering software and other software packages should I be >considering? > > My recommendation is Warewulf (warewulf.lbl.gov/pmwiki/). It has a lot of great features that clusters should have. I can go into details if you like, but if you look in the beowulf archives you'll see some postings about Warewulf. >4. What are my minimum hardware requirements? > > This depends. How big are your problems? How much memory do they take? You can even run a parallel code on a single node (not efficient, but reasonable for experimentation). I would rank your priorities in the following order: 1. network bandwidth 2. IO bandwidth (for commercial codes) 3. Amount of memory 4. Processor speed 5. Cluster management system >5. Is there a set procedure on how I could proceed in building this cluster? > > Doug Eadline and I are writing a magazine article series on how to build a small cluster for $2500. The series is in ClusterWorld Magazine and you can find some of what we discuss at the following URL: http://www.clusterworld.com/value_cluster.shtml For $2500 we have 8 nodes with AMD Sempron 2500+ CPUs, 256 MB memory in each node and a GigE network. This was the price at the end of last year. Recently I repriced everything and the price is just a bit over $2000. This cluster just set a record for GFLOPS per dollar: http://www.clusterworld.com/value_cluster.shtml#gflops Good Luck and have fun! Jeff

Take firm steps to recover loans: Chidambaram to banks
Concerned over rising bad loans, finance minister P Chidambaram today asked banks to take firm steps to recover loans saying the country cannot afford to have "affluent promoters and sick companies".india Updated: Mar 18, 2013 13:51 IST
Concerned over rising bad loans, finance minister P Chidambaram on Monday asked banks to take firm steps to recover loans saying the country cannot afford to have "affluent promoters and sick companies".
"We wish that banks take firm steps to recover NPAs (Non-Performing Asset). Promoters have to bring in additional money and companies have the duty to pay back loans," Chidambaram said.
He was talking to reporters after meeting the heads of nationalised banks and financial institutions here.
The finance minister said recovery has improved in the past one or two months and banks will take more steps to deal with the rising NPAs without hurting the industry.
"We cannot have an affluent promoter and a sick company. Promoters must bring in money... Without doing anything that will kill the business of industry, banks will have to take steps to recover the NPAs," he said. Gross NPAs of PSU banks have risen from Rs 71,080 crore as on March 2011, to Rs 1.55 lakh crore as on December 2012.
He further said that stalled projects in sectors like power, coal, iron, steel and road transport is a cause for worry.
As many as 215 projects with an investment of Rs 7 lakh crore are currently stalled and banks have disbursed about Rs 54,000 crore loan towards it, Chidambaram said.
As far as new projects are concerned, he said, they are also in the same five sectors.
There are 126 new projects for which the outlay is Rs 3.55 lakh crore and amount sanctioned by banks against these was Rs 43,000 crore.
"Real problem is in road and power. There are 68 new projects in the road sector. There are 40 new projects in the power sector. We have to get them going," he said adding that the ministries concerned would look into the matter so that projects are accelerated.
Chidambaram said the government has identified the main reasons due to which projects were stalled.
"The main reasons are coal linkage, environment clearances, land acquisition," he said adding there is now a greater degree of confidence than what was there six months ago.
"Now that we have resolved some issues relating to environment clearance, and NHAI, more coal blocks are being made available... Ministry will start taking sectoral meetings with state governments and promoters to see how we can move these forward," he said.
On the liquidity situation, Chidambaram said the Reserve Bank governor will take steps in the monetary policy review on Tuesday.
"The RBI Governor is also aware of issues of liquidity and tomorrow is the monetary policy and am sure he will address the issue of liquidity," he said.
Replying to a question on charges of money laundering by certain employees of three private sector banks, Chidambaram said the RBI and the finance ministry are looking into the issue.
"Secretary, department of financial services is looking at it closely. RBI is looking at it closely. They (banks) themselves have instituted enquiries. Let's give them a little time to come up with the report of the enquiry," he added.
On the proposed all women bank, Chidambaram said the expert committee headed by MBN Rao for the purpose met for the first time on Saturday and the panel will give a blueprint on the bank by April end.
The finance minister further said all PSU banks have also shown interest in opening all-women branches. In next six months, he said, all state-run banks will have such branches.

Abstract: The End of Ancient Athens: The Archaeology and History of the Athenian Twilight
For over one thousand years, Athens ranked among the most vibrant intellectual, social, and economic centers of the ancient Mediterranean world. Beginning in the third century A.D., however, Athens was rocked by a series of barbarian sacks, marking a centuries-long period in which the fortunes—and the size—of the city ebbed and flowed. Athens began a period of slow recovery and expansion in the tenth century A.D., but by 1200 A.D., the city had fallen upon hard times once more. According to the then Archbishop of Athens, Michael Akominatos, "the glory of Athens has utterly perished; one can see nothing, not even a faint symbol, by which to recognize the ancient city." In this lecture, we reveal some of the spectacular discoveries uncovered during recent excavations of Late Antique and Byzantine Athens, and discuss how these excavations enrich our understanding of the ancient accounts of the Athenian twilight.

- Straw Feminists in the Closet: "God, what a nightmare! To wake up to Straw Feminists in the closet, one of the greatest bogeymen of all time!" Amazing drawings.
- Philosophy gender war erupts after call for larger role for women: "'I think many of the senior men in the field believe philosophy would be better if there was more gender equity, and I think [a boycott] gives them an opportunity to put their money where their mouth is,' she said, adding that she applauds Mr. Collodel and his co-organizer, Eric Oberheim, for adding women to their program, albeit at the last-minute. 'People worry about tokenism, but as far as I'm concerned the important thing now is to improve the profile of women in philosophy.'"
- The Women Who've Transformed A Mars Rover Into A Sassy Social Superstar: "'It's easier to anthropomorphize rovers,' added Smith. 'The cameras make it look like she has eyes. So it's tempting to think of the rover as a bodacious chick on the surface of another planet with a rock vaporizing laser on her head.'"
- The Better Name for Girlfriend Mode Is Probably Co-Star Mode: "The word 'co-star' elevates the status of the second, presumably less-skilled player. It clearly labels them as something other than the best player. They are not the 'star', but they are the guest, the visiting celebrity, the fellow great. They're the celebrity walk-on in a sitcom or the other actor who isn't being interviewed at the moment. They may be a mere supporting actor, but 'co-star' makes them sound so much important. It's better than 'girlfriend mode' or any other construction that would label the second player as inferior to the first (see: 'casual mode,' 'person-who-sucks-at-games mode')."
- [Trigger Warning: Harassment]What It's Like For a Girl Gamer: "This story of harassment is, inside the industry, considered old hat—no one wants to hear your tale of woe. When I talk about this kind of thing at industry or academic panels, there are people eager to wave off 90 percent of what I just wrote because they are, allegedly, already busy looking for the solution. Then there are the others who dismiss me because I'm not addressing feminist concerns in the 'real world.' But this is my real world, and I would argue that for most of us, gamers or just Facebook users, these online social interactions are very real, with very serious consequences."
- [Trigger Warning: Harassment]Without My Consent: Paths to justice for survivors of online harassment: "This website is intended to empower individuals harmed by online privacy violations to stand up for their rights. The site will focus on the specific problem of the publication of private images online. We are currently in the beta phase of launching the site, which means that content is being added and edited regularly. Our long-term hope is that the site will also inspire meaningful debate about the internet, accountability, free speech, and the serious problem of online invasions of privacy."

Because the layout and storage options are pretty standard, picking interesting materials is key for helping your kitchen stand out. When it comes to counters, granite countertops and marble countertops are elegant options, while concrete, limestone and stainless steel counters are a little more trendy. For a bit of color, add a bright mosaic tile backsplash or pick out a vibrant wood floor finish. You can even mix up your cabinetry! Frosted cabinets are great for a modern feel, while painted cabinets make for a nice but cheap kitchen remodel.
If you are starting a kitchen renovation, now is a great time to create exactly what you want. With the help of a kitchen designer, even a small space can have spacious storage and a nice flow. For small spaces, a galley layout is a great option. Since horizontal space is limited, think vertical; stack counters and shelves high up on the walls, and try to find innovative storage containers and double-duty pieces. For larger layouts, try an L-shaped or U-shaped kitchen with a large center island or peninsula. It provides plenty of cabinet and countertop space, and you can add a bar-height counter to the island for an instant eat-in space. In the end, it is important to think about what your family uses the room for and then cater to those needs when you start implementing your kitchen remodeling ideas.

JPMorgan's co-Chief Operating Officer Frank Bisignano plans to leave the U.S. bank giant, the latest top executive to depart in the past 1-1/2 years, the Wall Street Journal said its online edition on Sunday.
The departure is expected to be announced soon, the paper said, citing people close to the bank.

Matt Zames, current co-chief operating officer, will become COO of the firm, it said. Zames has been seen as a strong candidate to succeed JPMorgan Chief Executive and Chairman Jamie Dimon.
Bisignano is expected to announce as soon as Monday that he will join payment processing company First Data Corp as its chief executive, it added.
"The move leaves the giant New York bank without one of its fixers of operational problems at a time when the bank is wrestling with a number of regulatory headaches," it said.
JPMorgan suffered a loss of more than $6 billion due to soured trades. Regulators hit the bank in January with four enforcement actions requiring it to make a series of changes to risk management and anti-money-laundering systems.

Robbed Convenience Store Clerks Now Armed [AUDIO]
Early in the morning on January 8th, Patrick Bendig was beaten and robbed by several men with baseball bats while working at Jay's Mart in Missoula.
Now, the owner, Jesse Singh is letting people know that his clerks are armed and able to protect themselves. Singh says he has never seen anything so brutal as the beating that his employee and friend Patrick Bendig experienced at the hands of men who smashed up the store and stole the entire cash register.
Singh says he still believes Missoula is a good place to live, despite the actions of a few, and that he has been touched by the overwhelming response to Bendig and to the store itself by Missoula customers.
So far, six individuals are in custody on charges of assault with a weapon and armed robbery.

Rachel was the eldest of nine children born to Francis Sr and Charity Banta Montfort. Born in York County, PA on Aug 14, 1769 at Conewago, she moved with her parents and siblings to Kentucky about 1785 or 1786. She was married to John Voris on Feb 4, 1786 with the license being recorded in Jefferson County, Kentucky. John was the son of Peter Voorhees and Sophia Vanderbogert Voorhees.. His brother, Francis, would marry Catherine Montfort, sister of Rachel.
A good history of the Voorhees family was written by Larry Voreis OUR LOW DUTCH HERITAGE, which will give you a good background on the Voorhees family and all its spelling variations.
Rachel and John would have twelve children by the time they joined the Shakers religious society in 1810.
Peter who was born Dec 9, 1786 and died in Peoria, Ill June of 1838....he was murdered. No marriage or children have been found.
John born Jan 9, 1789 and died at Shakertown Sept 18, 1836.
Francis born Sept 20, 1790 and died May 15, 1852 married to Patsey Thomas, daughter of Elisha on Jan 4, 1830...both had left the Shakers. They apparently had one son, Henry B. born about 1836. He appears in the 1850 census with his parents in Peoria, Illinois but not found anywhere after that. Francis was a merchant and in 1850 his value is set at 100,000 dollars. On his death he would leave all to his brother, Samuel, providing they cared for his widow, Patsey till her death.
Polly born May 4, 1794 and died at Shakertown March 11, 1876
Sophia born March 24, 1794 and died at Shakertown Nov 7, 1872
James born Feb 17, 1796 and died at Shakertown June 3, 1823
Jacob born Nov 8, 1797 and died at Shakertown May 4, 1870
Charity born July 5, 1799 and died at Shakertown May 8, 1821
Peggy born Feb 14, 1801 and died at Shakertown Jan 11, 1882
Abraham born Nov 12, 1803 and left the Shakers in Oct 1827, no more known of him.
Samuel born May 20, 1806, married SarahCongleton, died in Peoria, Ill...descendants.
Hortincy born Nov 22, 1810 and married to JOHN D. HOGAN probably in KY. There are descendants.
I recently set out to see if there were any descendants from Peter, Samuel, Hortincy and Abraham and to date have found family lines from Hortincy and Samuel. This blog will deal with the information found on both Samuel and Hortincy's descendants. I hope to add something to the line on descendants of Peter in the future. I will start on what I found on Samuel then go onto his sister Hortinsey in another posting.
Samuel and his wife, Sarah,were married in Peoria on Nov 30, 1835. Her maiden name was Congleton. [Illinois Marriage records online at US GENWEB/Illinois] They had three known children found on census records for Peoria, Illinois in 1860. They were Richard, Robert and Isabelle.
Samuel is listed as a "Gentleman Farmer" in the 1860 census with real estate worth 180,000 dollars and property worth 100,000 dollars. I suspect this may be from the inheritance he received from his uncle Francis Voris and why the widow of Francis, Patsey Thomas Voris was residing with Samuel's family in the 1860 census. Also listed are the three children of Samuel and Sarah, Richard born about 1838, Robert C. born about 1840, and Isabela born about 1839.
In 1870 they are still in Peoria, where Samuel is 64 and a mechanic born in KY and worth 50,000 dollars in real estate and 25,000 dollars in property. His wife Sarah age 65 is living still and with them are son Robert age 30, his wife, Jennie age 26 and their daughter, Maggie one year old. Patsey Thomas Voris is no longer listed with them and presumably has passed away.
Neither Samuel or Sarah are found after the 1870 census so presumably they passed away in the ten years between census taking and are buried in Peoria.
1. Samuel's son, Richard was born about 1838 in Illinois, would marry Belle Parmely [Isabella]on Dec 3, 1863 in Peoria [Illinois Marriage Records online] their first child, Mary was born about 1864. Their other children, Samuel born about 1866, Frank V. born about 1867 and Edward born in 1870, all in Peoria, Illinois. They were followed by Sophia born about 1877 and Callie born about 1879. Richard owned an iron foundry in 1870. Isabelle/Belle Voris is still living in the 1910 census for Peoria and with her are two daughters, Sofia T age 28 and Clarabel age 27 [Callie??]
Of the children of Richard and Sarah Voris, I have yet to find further information on Mary Voris , though she may have married, I have not found anything showing a date for any marriage or any descendants through her line.
Son Frank died at age 64 in Peoria, Illinois on January 22, 1935, nothing further is known of him. He may be the F.B. Voris in the 1920 census of Peoria, Ill with wife, Mollie but it isn't certain without further study. He is listed in that census as 50 years of age and wife, Mollie is 52.
Samuel Jr, died May 16, 1928, in Peoria. He is known to have married Maggie ___ by 1897 when a son, Richard is born and later a daughter, Mary born in July 1899, then Ruth born about 1902, Robert born about 1906 and Thomas born about 1909. The family is found in the census of 1910 for Peoria and again in the 1920 census with only the three younger children still living at home.
Edward is found in the 1910 census of Peoria, Illinois [age 40] with a wife, Lena [age 44] and three children, Edna born about 1901, Leonard born about 1904, Edward Newland Voris died April 1, 1924 in Peoria, Illinois.
2, Samuel's son Robert C. was born about 1840 in Illinois. On Feb 23, 1865 Robert C Voris married Virginia V. Baldwin [Illinois Marriage records online at USGENWEB/IL] He is living with his brother, Richard in the 1880 census of Peoria, at age 40 and it says he was divorced. So far, no children have been found and nothing further on him or his former wife.

SIMI VALLEY, Calif.—Daniel and Crystal Artran married in 2010 and rejoiced when they found themselves pregnant several months later. But behind the rejoicing was concern: As dwarfs of the same type, their children have a 25 percent chance of inheriting the abnormal gene from each of them, a condition called "double dominance" and incompatible with life. Still, the Simi Valley, Calif., couple knew that three out of four times they would have a healthy child. Daniel, 38, already had two preteen children from a previous marriage.
When Crystal, 27, reached her second trimester, they met with a geneticist who specializes in dwarfism. During the ultrasound, they learned they were having a girl and marveled at her distinct profile. But their countenance changed as they saw concern on the geneticist's face. Her voice turned cold and clinical. A week later, the couple's doctor called. Crystal's amniocentesis test confirmed their worst fears: Their daughter was double-dominant. The doctor recommended an abortion. Or, if they acted soon, he offered to trigger labor naturally. Crystal's birth canal is so small that the baby would die during labor.
The Artrans found themselves in the strange world of fetal testing and abortion pressure. At conferences for "little people," they had met couples who aborted their double-dominant babies. Mothers terminate nine out of 10 Down syndrome pregnancies. In Europe, the numbers are higher: A 2011 report from Denmark even predicted the country would be Down syndrome-free within two decades. Some in the field of reproductive ethics say parents have a duty to use advanced forms of pregnancy screening and preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) to ensure medically "flawless" children.
But the Artrans opted to keep their unborn daughter even though she was expected to die at birth.
Daniel and Crystal asked their local church congregation to pray for them. They confessed that when they were dating four years earlier, they had aborted their first baby out of convenience and fear—a decision they kept secret and painfully regretted. "We couldn't go through that sadness again. We felt like with this pregnancy we were given another chance," Daniel said. Telling others about their abortion and the healing that followed led them to name their daughter Grace.
In the coming months, Crystal's 4-foot-2-inch frame ballooned with baby weight and an abnormal amount of amniotic fluid, a common symptom of problematic pregnancies. The extra fluid meant she felt no flutters or kicks. Sleeping, eating, and even breathing felt increasingly uncomfortable. But they got to know Grace via regular 3-D ultrasounds: "She looked normal. It was encouraging. We could see her little hands and feet and Daniel's pouty lips," Crystal said.
As Crystal's scheduled C-section approached, the Artrans met with the neonatal doctor to ensure that Grace would be put on life support immediately after birth, "so we could have time with her and say goodbye," Daniel said. But 48 hours before the delivery, the neonatal nurses protested, citing their "ethical rights." They argued it was cruel to allow Grace to adjust to life support only to take her off, causing her more struggle in death.
Alone in the doctor's office, Daniel and Crystal had moments to decide whether to protest. As they prayed, Daniel realized, "We tried to believe Grace wouldn't be double-dominant. We tried to control this pregnancy. We made this pregnancy about us." They chose not to protest, putting Grace's life and the amount of time they would have with her "in God's hands."
On the day of Grace's birth, a handful of friends and family members circled around Crystal's hospital bed, quietly praying. An hour later, a squeaky cry filled the room, followed by a collective gasp and tears of joy. The doctor quickly put Grace on Crystal's chest, forgoing normal newborn procedures. Both grandmothers had a chance to hold her. As Daniel wheeled Grace to their room, she peeked one eye open as he hit a slight bump: "She obviously didn't like that." In the room, they dressed her in frilly pink pajamas. Slowly her heart stopped beating as she slept on Crystal's chest. An hour after her birth, Grace died.
On a hot Indian summer day, fans whir and closed shades darken the Artrans' neutral-toned home. A pink patchwork quilt made by Daniel's mother covers a dwarf-size table, brightening the living room. On it are three porcelain angels next to a black-and-white framed picture of Daniel, Crystal, and tiny Grace. A white book opens to her imprinted footprint. Daniel reminisces, "She woke up in the hands of God. Granted, we go through the pain of losing her, but she didn't have to go through any pain."
Six months later, Crystal was pregnant again. When she went for an amniocentesis, Daniel thought, "What are the odds of having another double-dominant baby?" Regardless, they decided they "would do everything exactly the same." A week later, Crystal came home from her pharmaceutical job to a car-filled driveway. Friends, family, and their pastor gathered for support as Daniel broke the news: They had another daughter—she was double-dominant.
Crystal fought her insurance company to have a second test performed: "I really thought they had made a mistake." She had friends who had aborted their baby for scientific research when an amniocentesis revealed double dominance. Later, a research lab came back with startling results: They had aborted a healthy dwarf boy.
As the Artrans prayed and sought counsel, they were able to trust God. They named their daughter "Faith." Crystal concluded, "If God is going to do a miracle, why would we need a second test?" She focused on eating healthily and making baby preparations, shopping for baby clothes and reading aloud to Faith in utero. Again, she swelled with amniotic fluid. She had it drained once—but within a week the fluid was back. Toward the end, she spent much of her time in a stiff wooden chair, the place she felt most comfortable. But she says, "It's all worth it when you hear that cry."
Last July, friends and family again filled Crystal's delivery room for support. The moment Faith was born, she went straight to Crystal's chest, even giving her "a little pirate eye." But her weak fuss indicated, "This wasn't going to be the miracle we had hoped for." Within an hour, Faith passed away. In their room, Daniel recalls, "The minutes seem like seconds and before you know it, you hear that quiet knock. You know it's time to say goodbye."
Now on the Artrans' pink table, wooden cut-out letters spell "Faith." Her hospital bracelet dangles off one side. Crystal says, "I really thought Faith was what we were waiting for. Then I realized, OK, that's not the end of the story. It's still going."
The Artrans say the experience has strengthened their marriage and their spiritual walk. As people they hardly knew prayed for and supported them, they learned about Christian community. Recently they began sharing their story with others. Some people ask why they put themselves through the grief—why not just abort? Daniel answers, "That's not our call to make. God is the only one who can decide who lives and who dies. And besides, I'm proud to talk about our girls."
My wife Jennifer and I were the parents of two children, a son and a daughter, when Jennifer miscarried—a heartbreak for both of us.
Then, six years ago, she gave birth to our daughter Carissa, who had Trisomy 13, a serious genetic anomaly. Carissa had lived only eight days when doctors told us it was time to remove her from life support. After consulting a wise seminary professor, we agreed, hoping and praying for a miracle. We sang and prayed as Carissa (a derivative of the Greek word "grace") slowly stopped breathing.
We had another healthy son and in 2010 discovered that Jennifer was pregnant with twins. Surely, I thought, this was God's blessing for our faithfulness with Carissa.
About 13 weeks into the pregnancy doctors told us our twins had a potentially life-threatening condition called twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome. Prenatal laser surgery could eliminate the offending arteries that caused the condition, and doctors said they needed to perform an amniocentesis to see if the twins had a chromosomal problem like Carissa's that would disqualify them for surgery.
The amniocentesis showed one twin to have an extra Y chromosome, a mild trisomy condition that many men and boys have without even knowing it. The doctors asked if we wanted to continue. We said yes. We are pro-life and these were our boys! The laser surgery was successful, and doctors assigned Jennifer to bed rest for the remainder of her pregnancy. The six-week follow-up appointment showed everything was great.
Then a routine checkup revealed that the larger twin, Ezekiel, had died in the womb. The other baby was also in danger. Zeke's death seriously challenged my faith: We had made all the right "life" decisions, and God was going to rip away from us two more children. He seemed to be answering "No!" to all my prayers.
A week later, we went to the hospital because Jennifer's water had broken. They admitted her and tried to delay the surviving twin's birth. Days and nights passed and finally, on June 17, 2010, Jennifer went into hard labor. After four hours, doctors performed a cesarean section. Zach's eyes fluttered open as nurses carried him to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).
Meanwhile Jennifer had complications from infection, forcing doctors to perform an emergency hysterectomy. A clotting issue required units of blood and plasma. After four more hours of surgery, they wheeled her to the recovery room. Four hours later she was finally in her room, waiting with me to hear news about little Zach.
In the NICU, Zach struggled. He weighed about 1 and a half pounds and was full of infection. Doctors inserted tiny lines into his blood vessels to administer medication. They alternated between a respirator and a tiny hand-squeezed model to help him breathe.
Just before midnight the phone rang from the NICU: I should come down to see Zach. The combination of trauma, infection, and prematurity was too much. Doctors removed him from the machines to see if he could survive on his own. Although Jennifer came down on her bed to see Zach, she was too weak to hold him. Numbly, I held him and watched as the time between each breath increased, and he died. He lived less than 24 hours.
Back up in Jennifer's room, nurses worked feverishly on my wife, who had started to bleed again. More blood, more plasma, and more care later, she slowly began to recover. Jennifer didn't want to attend another funeral or memorial service, so I scheduled it while she was still in the ICU.
It is now two and a half years since these events took place. Jennifer has recovered physically and normal life goes on—but we are different. God gave us three children to raise and four others to carry and say goodbye to. Like Job, we are sometimes called to worship God at the hardest moments of life.
The world says we could have taken a shorter, less agonizing path, but we made the decision to protect the life of the unborn, bearing the loss and going through the grief. Like others who chose life and lost it, we long to hear Christ's commendation: "Well done, good and faithful servant."

Published January 13, 2015
Sergei Bobrovsky of the Columbus Blue Jackets, Henrik Lundqvist of the New York Rangers and Antti Niemi of the San Jose Sharks have been named the finalists for the Vezina Trophy as the NHL's top goaltender.
In his first season in Columbus, the 24-year-old Bobrovsky nearly backstopped the team to its second-ever playoff berth. The Russian, acquired in a trade with Philadelphia last June, compiled a 21-11-6 record with four shutouts, and ranked second in the NHL this season in save percentage (.932) and sixth in goals-against average (2.00).
Bobrovsky posted a 1.64 GAA and a .945 save percentage while winning eight of his last nine decisions from April 9-27, but the Blue Jackets still missed the postseason on a tiebreaker.
Lundqvist, last year's Vezina winner, is a finalist for a fifth time after he tied for the NHL lead with 24 wins. The 31-year-old Swede posted a 2.05 GAA and a .926 save percentage.
Niemi, 29, was the busiest goaltender in the league, seeing more ice time than any of his peers (2,580:46). The Finn also won 24 games while finishing with a 2.16 GAA, a .924 save percentage and four shutouts.
The winner will be announced during the Stanley Cup Finals.

text: Drew Peterson is a retired Bolingbrook, Ill., police sergeant who is serving a 38-year sentence after being convicted in 2012 for the murder of his third wife, Kathleen Savio. Peterson gained national notoriety after the October 2007 disappearance of his fourth wife, Stacy Peterson, who is still missing. Drew Peterson remains the only suspect in the Stacy Peterson case. That case led authorities to reopen the investigation into Savio's death, which was initially ruled an accidental drowning in a bathtub in her home. Peterson has not been charged in connection with Stacy Peterson's disappearance and has denied harming her, saying the last he heard from his wife was a phone call explaining that she had left him for another man. Various media appearances and vociferous statements to the press catapulted Peterson's case into national news coverage and fodder for tabloids, and also led to the 2012 Lifetime TV movie "Drew Peterson: Untouchable," which depicted events before Savio's death and Stacy Peterson's disappearance.

Bodhi Seed Acorn Bracelet
Suzan Zahedi has been collecting metal, seeds, pods, and paper since she was 11. In high school her father taught her the art of jewelry making in their New York home studio, beginning a life-long passion for metal craft.
Years of creating, a lifetime of trial, and her entrepreneurial spirit gave rise to SUZAN's unique jewelry business in 1996. Today, in her southern California studio, she handcrafts each piece of gold and silver jewelry, incorporating stones, wood, and chains. Her unique hand forging techniques leave natural marks which serve as constant reminders of life's scars and imperfections, the very things that give us character and make us special and unique. Each piece tells a story of hope, resilience, and natural beauty with the juxtaposition of classic design with a modern twist.
SUZAN used to collect acorns as a child. In awe of the meaning and purpose of such a tiny seed she would collect them, keep them in her closet, and watch them sprout like onions. Today she crafts these acorn charms and pendants as reminder to women of the seed within them. We are all meaningful, purposeful, and elegant; these acorns remind women of their precious natural beauty. Highly sought after Southern California jewelry collection Studio SUZAN pieces are all handmade signed and dated and come with a velvet pouch.
Bodhi seed bracelet with seeds from India strung on a sturdy elastic cord with hand forged sterling acorn top. Bodhi seeds symbolize the enlightenment of Buddha as he was legendarily "enlightened" under a bodhi tree.

Applicants invited for an interview must make their appointment no later than 2 weeks from the date of the interview invitation or the invitation will be rescinded.
All interviewers are a member of the Admissions Committee. The interview usually lasts between 30 minutes and an hour and is conducted by a clinician or scientist from our 80-member committee. Applicants are encouraged to use this time to openly share their experiences and future goals with their interviewer. If at the end of the interview the applicant feels there is something important to share with the interviewer, the applicant is encouraged to feel comfortable to introduce the topic.
To help familiarize applicants with the Einstein environment and student body and to help defray costs, applicants who would prefer to stay at Einstein the night before their interview are invited to request overnight housing with an Einstein student. Such requests should be made to the admissions office when scheduling your interview by e-mailing Dina Nardi at firstname.lastname@example.com
Applicants who apply to the M.D./Ph.D. Program, who decide afterward that they would prefer the M.D. Program only must notify both the M.D. admissions office and the M.D./Ph.D. office, in writing.
The official Einstein policy document concerning M.D. admissions interviews can be found here.
Since sometimes applicants and interviewers may not connect optimally, applicants who are dissatisfied with their interview are encouraged to request a second interview immediately, prior to receiving a letter of disposition. Requests for re-interview should be made to the Office of Admissions prior to leaving the College of Medicine on the day of interview to Ms. Mary Pace (firstname.lastname@example.com). Once a letter of disposition has been mailed, requests for re-interview will not be considered. Occasionally, the admissions committee invites applicants back for a second interview if further information is needed.
Interview sites include four locations in the Bronx: the College of Medicine (the Jack and Pearl Resnick Campus); Weiler Hospital or Jacobi Medical Center (each located adjacent to the medical school) or Montefiore Medical Center (Moses Division on E. 210th Street). Applicants interviewed at Montefiore Medical Center are provided transportation to the interview site after their check-in at Einstein. Interviews are conducted Monday through Friday; there are no Wednesday or Thursday or weekend interviews.
Every Monday, Tuesday and Friday at approximately noon, Einstein students host an informal luncheon in the Upper Max and Sadie Lounge, located in the Forchheimer Building. Food is strictly kosher. The half-hour luncheon provides a forum through which applicants and students can have an honest and open exchange without faculty members present. In this way, you'll have the opportunity to meet representatives of our unique student body and get further perspective about what is special about Einstein.
Immediately following the lunch, student-hosts lead a half-hour tour of Einstein's campus and facilities.
Applicants who choose not to keep their interview appointment are requested to login to the Auto-Scheduler and cancel their interview. If you cancel less than 48 hours, we request that you ALSO call the Admissions office at 718.430.3014 or e-mail email@example.com. The admissions office will notify an applicant's pre-professional advisor if the applicant does not notify the office of their intention to cancel their interview within 48 hours of the scheduled interview time.
Applicants who have been invited for interview who
have any special needs are asked to notify the Admissions Office before the day
of their interview by e-mailing: email@example.com
or calling 718.430.3014. Special needs may include physical accommodations,
special dietary needs, or travel plans that might interfere with your visit. Applicants
who are accompanied by a family member should notify the admissions
office at least one day in advance so that the Security Desk will be
prepared for their visit. Family members are invited to wait for
applicants in the D. Samuel Gottesman Library located in the Forchheimer
