Hi all
New thread time

Sorry couldn't help it, I know I'm just lurking but I thought I'd claim it anyway
How is everyone? Any BFPs to report?
Posted 22 March 2012 - 02:49 PM
Ooh silver!It's been ages since I've updated (as had zilch to report- still not had AF, no interesting CM, Dd is now 14mo) but thought I'd come out of lurkdom to say im hopefully not too far off ovulating.. Did an OPK yesterday as had fair bit of CM and for the first time ever there was two lines! Okay so the 2nd line was still lighter than the test which I realise is negative.. But surely LESS negative than only having one line?? (please correct me if im wrong) So think I'll do a daily OPK test and see what happens.. Hopefully something will happen soon!
Posted 22 March 2012 - 03:59 PM
I had a username change in case you were wondering
Stickymicky I definately believe that OPKs get darker on their way to ovulation - they most surely do for me. Fingers crossed it will be soon.
Afm CD28 and finally starting to get darker lines on the OPKs, so excited, hopefully I O soon so we can get back on the TTC wagon properly. It's so hard the first few cycles cos everything is just so irregular - for me it is anyway.

Well I'm 10dpo and I just got a BFP on a First Response. I'd done a couple of IC's over the past few days (as I do every cycle) and thought there may have been a very faint line yesterday so thought I'd check today. It feels a little surreal. No EPS yet and I thought I was having surgery next week. Talk about timing!!
Posted 23 March 2012 - 10:26 PM
thesame!!!That is so wonderful!!! Congrats!!Keep us posted on everything! Does this mean your surgery will be postponed?What a lovely surprise Xoxo
ps. What is an IC?
Posted 24 March 2012 - 09:46 AM
Thanks SM. I haven't done another test yet as I'm worried it won't have got darker yet as the line is very faint. I might test again tomorrow. IC's stand for Internet cheapies. I was about to buy another bulk pack but hopefully I won't need to now. Surgury will be postponed although I'm not sure what this will mean for the placenta attaching. I think it will just be a wait and see approach.
I hope you're on your way to O now. A slight 2nd line and lots of CM certainly sounds like a good sign.
Posted 24 March 2012 - 04:50 PM
what wonderful news, thesame! pics please
Posted 25 March 2012 - 08:59 AM
Hi girls. Sorry have been a way for a few days, my Nanna passed away so all the family traveled up to Taree for the funeral on Friday. It was a lovely service and Sophie was really good for it too, thank goodness for breastfeeding. I just sat up the back with her and fed her to sleep
thesame thats wonderful news. Congrats! I love to see BFP pics too so if you've got one can you post it please?
Now you can join the grad group over here: http://www.essentialbaby.com.au/forums/ind...howtopic=966287
jemso wow Jess, cd 28 is so late to ovulate, it makes for such a long cycle doesnt it?! I usually O around cycle day 19.
stickymicky - Sounds hopeful that something will happen soon. I would keep testing daily now too.
Happy_daisy - Hi
AFM - hopefully will be ovulating again soon and start the BDing again. Also I havent updated this for ages:

Racheal Sorry to hear about your Nanna. It is great to be able to breastfeed wherever and whenever, isn't it?! We were planning on weaning at 12m, but I don't even mind if DS is not weaned by 24m now! Do you have plans to wean?

Posted 26 March 2012 - 06:32 PM
the same congrats on your BFP!!!
rachel so sorry to hear about your nanna hope you and your family are ok xxx
afm have had a confusing few days. FF saw my temp rise 2 days in a row and decided i ovulated on CD29, even though i had NO other signs at all, so i was pretty upset that we had missed the window. then i did an OPK and it was darker than the previous day (though still -ive) and todays temp was down again so FF has taken it off my chart LOL.
i have almost all other signs of ovulation going for me, CM and cervix position and feel are good, just waiting for positive OPK now!

Have you done any HPT's emiboo? When are you going to test?
QUOTE (emiboo @ 26/03/2012, 02:21 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Do you have plans to wean?
At the moment my plan is to let her self wean. I have heard it is quite common for them to self wean when mum is pregnant again but i also like the idea of tandem feeding as i think it would help a lot with sibling bonding.
My sister weaned her boys at 3yrs of age. The first one because she was 6 months pregnant with the second and it was quite sensitive/painful for her, and the second one because she was just ready to stop.
I feel comfortable continuing to breastfeed Sophie even though i get a couple of snide comments here and there about it (even from family members) so i'll see how i feel and im sure she wont feed forever

Hi Jess. I would go with the other good signs rather then the temps just because your temps probably wont be as accurate if you are getting up at all during the night.
What time of day do you use your OPK's? I always use FMU even though it says not to, and then around O i also do one around lunchtime too to compare it to the morning one.
Best of luck!
Posted 27 March 2012 - 10:07 AM
Newbie here, can I join?
I am currently demand feeding my 6 month old son but DH and I have decided to try for another one as time is not my friend.
I had one period back at 4 months and then nothing since. I've started using OPKs but am not 100% what I'm doing with them.
Congrats to thesame and hope to see more BFPs here soon!
Posted 27 March 2012 - 04:24 PM
Hello Starblossom
Unfortunately this group is full - sorry just joking!! Of course you can join! I hope your stay here is a short one, for all the best reasons
Yeah our plan is also to let him self-wean. DH was pretty sure that Hezekiah would be finished by 12m but as time went by, he realised that Hezekiah wasn't going to have any of this weaning business, so DH is now so incredibly supportive of it to the point that he almost pushes me to not wean DS. My in-laws are also really supportive of it which is great. And my siblings and I weren't breastfed and grew up with really bad allergies (all three of us had really bad chronic eczema - mine was head to toe and 'severe', so much that my dermatologist suggested that I be hospitalized for it) and so although my mum thought it was weird that Hezekiah was still being breastfed, she seems to think that his being breastfed has given him great skin and none of the allergies we had.
As usual I won't be testing until like... I'm quite sure that I've missed my period. Let's say CD42, which is April 7. April 7 2010 was the last time I took an HPT. No real reason for the delay, except I take disappointment about stuff like this badly.
Posted 27 March 2012 - 05:37 PM
Hi Emiboo, Thanks for the welcome
I'm sure you've all covered these questions before but just wondering who has and when did you get a regularish period or are you all TTC with irregular periods?
I have been using OPKs but I think we just missed the egg. (the opks are getting lighter).
Does anyone know if I'm meant to use the opk at the same time everyday?
Posted 27 March 2012 - 10:36 PM
I'm so sorry about your Nanna RJ. Losing someone so close to you is a huge loss. Thanks for posting the grad group too as I don't think I would have found it otherwise. Hope we can both head over there soon. (although what does TWB stand for?)
So if you were UTD emiboo would you be due in Nov or Dec? I'm hoping you can join me in the December mums group in a few months time when you eventually cave and test. Fingers crossed. I also had terrible childhood eczema (as well as as an adult) and suffer from asthma and allergies too. Doctors always assume I wasn't breastfed (so they obviously think there's something to it) but actually my mum breastfed me to over 12 months. Imagine what I'd be like if she hadn't!! It was definitely one of the reasons I wanted to breastfeed DS though and he has (surprisingly) beautiful skin. Although he seems to be developing a slight allergy (a bit of a rash around his eyes and nose) and I can't figure out what it's from. Maybe dust?? He's done pretty well considering his genes though.
Jess it sounds to me like you're only coming up to O now. I think you probably know your own body a little better than FF so I'd go with your gut. I hope that OPK turns positive for you very soon.
Welcome Starblossom. I hope your stay here is short and sweet. I think it can take a little while for your body to settle into a normal cycle again post baby and particularly when still breastfeeding. I had AF at 3 months post birth (although DS did start to sleep through the night around then) but then didn't get another one for another 4 months at which point it settled into a longer (but regular) cycle. I hope yours doesn't take quite so long to show up for the 2nd time though. I think you're supposed to use OPK's around the same time each day just in case you miss the surge. From what everyone has said around here (and in my experience too) is that they generally are positive for a couple of days anyway so it may not be that important if you know what I mean.
Anyway after testing at 10DPO and getting a faint 2nd line, I waited until 12DPO to test again (slightly darker but not dark enough for my liking). So I tested again today at 14DPO and the line is nice an dark so I'm considering myself PREGNANT!!!! All 3 tests in order from top (10dpo) to bottom (14dpo) in pic below.
Posted 27 March 2012 - 10:44 PM
Congratulations Thesame! those are some nice new you have there! Gosh does it feel real yet? How exciting!
Thank you for the info. I did another opk today and it is starting to go dark again. Not really sure what this means. Ive only done 4, the first had 2 lines but one line was light, the next had 2 lines but was lighter, the next had one line and then today there are 2 lines and the faint line is as dark as the first one I did a few days ago.
I know it's only positive when the lines are the same colour but wtf.
Maybe I should keep at it with DH. Mind you DS's sleeping is shocking at the moment so I am too tired! I'll do another again tomorrow and see what it's like.
Posted 28 March 2012 - 07:26 AM
rachealjane i have been doing 2 OPKs a day since about CD10. i do one in the morning and one around 2pm.
starblossom welcome! i got my first AF back at 4 months too, but unfortunately for me it also coincided with DD2 going through 4 month sleep regression (which hasnt progressed back to sleeping through either) so my first cycle was 57 days or something. this cycle i am at CD35 and i dont think i have ovulated yet. i am currently taking vitex to help regulate my cycle so hopefully it goes back to a normalish length next month. my OPKs are going dark to light, to dark to light. it is so confusing :S
afm still no positive OPK here, but i erm, relieved DF last night so hopefully it isnt positive for a few more days LOL.

What is vitex? Where can you get it from?
My DS doesn't sleep through the night and never has. But thankfully he has always been a shocking sleeper so we never had a sleep regression (gotta look at the positives right!?)
What does CD stand for?
I think you have a 6 month old baby as well?
Posted 28 March 2012 - 09:30 AM
Starblossom - CD is cycle day. Vitex is a vitamin that is supposed to help with PMT and regulating cycles etc. I also read somewhere online it can help with milk supply. I just got it from the chemist. And yep, my DD2 is 6.5 months
Posted 28 March 2012 - 09:31 AM
Hi Ladies
Can I please join this group?
I have been TTC since October 2011. I am currently bfing my almost 20 month son. I have a history of on bfing my children with DD1 and DD2 until they were 3 and a half. There is four years each child. DD1 self weaned when I was a few months pregnant with DD2 and the same with DD2 when I was pregnant with DS.
My cycles have only been normal for the past 7 months but DS is still an avid breastfeeding with still day and night feeds - he still has not learnt to sleep through. It is isn't a problem though as we co-sleep.
This is the first time we have attempted TTC this early. Normally we have a four year gap we were aiming for two this time round with what will be our last child. I am also 38 so time is running out for us.
Anyway we started TTC in October and I fell pregnant straight away unfortunately I knew right from the get go that it wasn't viable and just wanted to get it over and done with....I was diagnosed with a blighted ovum. Unfortunately I went naturally - I no choice - and as feared it has stuffed around with my body and as a result I lost 3 cycles as Hcg took ages coming down and this has been my first cycle (March) that I have been relatively normal. I am so angry that that has done this to me I as know that I would have been pregnant by now had I not been mucked around with.
I am now 8dpo and not holding out much hope for this cycle either. I will test on Saturday with FMU and take it from there - I am 95% sure that I am not.
Bfing has not affected my cycles so I am sure that it is not that and I conceived DD1 and DD2 whilst breastfeeding. However my cycles returned before 3 months with DS it too until he was 14 months that my cycles returned to normal - I was all over the place with very long cycles and very few periods!
That is practically my life story until now. I have been posting in the TTC now thread but it is running far too slow.
Posted 28 March 2012 - 03:03 PM
Hi ladies, its been very busy in here compared to normal. Nice to meet you newbies!
thesame thanks so much for posting the pics, line getting darker looks awesome!
Starblossom i got my 1st period at 15 months postpartum and that first cycle was about 40 days long and then it has been 'regular' each month but just decreasing in length each time to a more normalish length.
I use Vitex and 100MG of B6 a day as my luteal phase was very short at first, only 6 or 7 days, but it is now back to 'my normal' 10 day luteal phase.
Holidayromp my DD is 23 months old and still feeds all day and night and we cosleep too. I hope to feed Sophie for as long as you have your older children, thats lovely to hear that they weaned gently and naturally whilst you were pregnant with the next, thats what i hope happens for us too.

hi thesame those pics are so pervable (i like perving on bfp pictures. sometimes i just google bfp images and look through them. dh thinks it's weird to do that.) i would also like to join you in the december dig!! if i was pregnant my baby would also be due in december, like my ds who is now 15m. it would be nice to fall pregnant this month because dh has been on holidays, just like with ds. AND it would have been our fourth cycle... just like with ds. i think i'll be v disappointed if i'm not pregnant this month, much more than with any other month. but we will see. it's up to God what he wants for our family.
holidayromp i'm sorry to hear that that blighted ovum caused you so much heartache. i did not know that blighted ova (that's the word, right?) would cause so many problems; i thought it would be like a miscarriage (not that miscarriages aren't terrible) that one would usually recover from in six weeks or so. and welcome to the group
starblossom ds slept through at 8 weeks and i was pretty pleased with myself. but then at five months he forgot how to and has been waking up once a night ever since (now 15mo). he's probably slept through maybe five times since he was 5mo. but it doesn't bother me coz it only takes a 2min feed and then he's back on his tummy with his butt in the air.
Posted 29 March 2012 - 08:42 AM
Morning ladies!
Hope everyone is well. I did another OPK last night and it's lighter again. Don't really know what's going on! I'm hoping I get a period soon so I can track things properly, I'm having cramps, moodiness and bad acne from hell but so truly hoping it's on it's way.
HolidayRomp: sorry to hear about your blighted ovum. I hope you recover well and get a BFP ASAP.
Emiboo: Good luck for this month! It'd be nice to tie up the end of the year with a BFP.

By Jasmine Garsd
Every March for the last few years, Felix Contreras and I have flown to Mexico City to partake in one of the biggest music festivals Latin America has to offer. Tens of thousands of music lovers accompany us from stage to stage, enjoying legendary bands and discovering up-and-comers.
Here's how great Mexico City and the Vive Latino festival are: After attending last year, I decided to stay. I was so mesmerized by a magical city, filled with music on every corner, that I've been here ever since. Consider today's show our musical postcard to you.
If you attended the festival, let us know: Who were your favorite bands?

Can just anyone write a school textbook?
...Sort of. Anyone can write and publish a textbook, but before it gets handed out to public-school students, the book's content would have to be approved by several review committees. As long as the textbook is deemed to meet state-specified guidelines and cover the subject matter with accuracy and coherence, the author's pedigree can be of secondary importance....In general, the publisher hires a more distinguished scholar as the main editor, who oversees the project and has final say over the content....

You were my son's first mother. You were the one who conceived, carried, and gave birth to him across the world.
In hindsight, I was glad I'd gone so over the top. I couldn't have known that her first birthday party would be the only one I'd ever get to throw her.

Dr. Earth Home Grown Veggie Fert.
So I am trying to maintain my sfg organically this year. In the past I have used synthetic ferts to keep the garden going, but this year I felt like making the change. I did quick test on my soil and found there to be a nitrogen deficiency. Basically it is a little low for my nitrogen loving plants. Will this Dr. Earth Home Grown liquid fert work fast? I have read that you really need to use the synthetic stuff for this reason, but I'd love to hear your opinion on the matter. What do you all know about this stuff, or any fast acting organic fert? I already prepped the mix with some Jobes dry fert about a month ago to get it going. Is the Dr Earth a pretty good brand?
It seems to work really well. I have now completed two applications over a one month period and have seen some pretty explosive growth. Now granted, the growing season really kicked in over the last few weeks, but my corn went from around 2 ft to 4 ft within one week of application and is now tasseling at about 6-7 ft. My Tomatoes were around 1-1.5 feet and are now over 3-4 feet each with a good bit of blossoms showing. It is a little bit expensive, as I had to get mine on amazon because it is not sold around me, so I will probably use it more sparingly going forward. I was thinking about going to 1/2 strength every three weeks going forward. I think it is great to get your plants over those growing humps and times of need. It seems to be legitimately fast acting and seems to have a similar effect on the plants as a synthetic fert would. Without going into the results on all of my plants, I would like to add one more thing. I think this pretty much saved my stunted eggplant as it was just a droopy seedling and is now a legitimate plant. It was one day from being pulled before I used this product. So I guess to answer your question, yes I would recommend it for use on all of your veggies. It really helped my garden take off.

Who knew!! All you need to do is carry around your own lighting kit, and you can go from a lard ass to David Hasslehoff with a change of angle and the flick of a switch! Pass the lard
I'm drifting.
I knew it would happen.
I have always had a propensity to take things too lightly, and only partially engage with the world around me. I mean, I have traveled, worked and lived overseas, and count people from all over the planet as friends, but this only makes me feel further removed from my everyday existence. I turn up for work, and put the hours in, but my polite chatter about the football or the weather, my offers to make coffee, even my efficient use of Excel, all belie the fact that I am rarely even vaguely interested in what I'm doing there. I used to be, but now I feel an apathetic indifference to the career path I once cared enough about to get up and study at 6am before work. Is that normal? Maybe it's all part of 'growing'
Actually, with each passing year, I feel as if I am growing further away from my old life. Even from my old friends and family. I used to think I was a boy from the village who'd gone out to explore the world, but to one day return and settle down, embarrassing my children and grandchildren as I grow old with my schoolyard friends. Now, if I return to my home town, I am feel like I'm not actually from there, that I am a guy who lives in the big city, visiting for the weekend.
It's kind of an odd feeling – but at the moment, I have no anchor, no spirituality. No spiritual anchor. I realise now that years ago, when I worked in a plant nursery, I was much more connected to myself, the planet and the things around me than now. For a number of years I worked long hard hours, out in the fields I came to just 'be' connected, and part of the world around me; I sensed when it would rain long before it actually did, I touched the earth with my hands everyday, I watched wild animals and birds, and understood what they were doing. When I first came to live in London I at least took an interest in the people around me, the plants in peoples gardens, the birds overhead or the types of trees that lined the streets. Now, I don't even do that. Now I have no family nearby, no house, no permanent address, no close friends in my neighbourhood, no hobby, no job I really care about. It's kind of scary, but I think I've accidentally become a nihilist.
Salty water stings my lips as the sunlight warms my skin.
And the man selling water stumbles on a girl who rolled over to quickly.
The child and his dad bury a jelly fish, as their mother takes picture on her iPhone.
And a tanned girl does a handstand, hoping one of the boys nearby sees;
All the boys see.
And nothing is wrong and that's alright.
December, ah December.
If the year was a pizza, December would be the fun filled stuffed crust, just waiting to be dipped into the last bit of garlic sauce and greedily gobbled up; washed down by the heady excitement of the New Year*.
The year has flown by; much has changed, much has not. I examined my face in the mirror this morning (something which normally terrifies me), hunting for the extra wrinkles and the receding hairline that I hoped would prove I was indeed one year older, and by inference (and more importantly) one year wiser.
Unfortunately, there was no clue, no evidence. If anything, the very fact that I was standing in my pants and socks and singing Christmas carols whilst tying to find traces of 'wisdom' in my own face belies what I've suspected for sometime now – that I am in fact becoming simpler, more idiotic as time passes. This isn't so bad – if only I could grow younger at the same time.
*I have no idea if this metaphor has any value or not – I bought it online, along with all my other presents, and there is a 'no returns' policy
-Photo – Celeste Hibert
This morning when I woke up, I realised that when I get tired of work, women, London and takeaways, there is nothing better than to go back and home and swim in the river of my youth.
That would be an awful metaphor, but, luckily, it's also the physical truth.
I hate time. I hate the way it taunts us. The more of it I live through – and therefore the less of it I have left – the less I understand it.
Whilst waiting for a special moment, a special day, whole months worth of time stretch out into what feel like years, only for that moment to flash by in an instant when it arrives. I guess that's why people say live for the moment, live in the present. It's something that I am just really coming to realize, that to truly value you life, you must truly value your time. I spend 8 or 9 hours a day at work, which – baring a lottery win (doubtful if I never buy a lottery ticket) or marry some rich old spinster (I've had pitifully little interest, despite being open to all offers) – I am likely to have to do for possibly another 30 years of my life (70,200 hours). Taking away time spent asleep, time spent doing all the stuff which one doesn't want but needs to do (laundry, cleaning, shopping and stuff) and time spent explaining to my parents how to log on to internet banking, I suddenly realized that I don't have that much 'me' time left. As the slow cold chill of my mortality slowly creeps up my spine, I realize that I have 2 options:
1. Get off my ass, and get out there. Seize the day and live for the moment. As Carl Sandburg wrote -"Time is the coin of your life. It is the only coin you have, and only you can determine how it will be spent. Be careful lest you let other people spend it for you"
2. Get off my ass, get down the cornershop, spend all my savings on lottery cards, then get my self on hotrichcougars.com to find a sugar mumm…er.. my one true love.
I think we all know which of the 2 options makes more sense, so, excuse me – enough with the procrastination I have photos to upload and numbers to pick out.
wake with alarm
dress appropriately
try to comb hair
catch the bus
walk home
undress nervously
lie awake
miss my cat
fall asleep

Houston's Port and Ship Channel History as Told by Street Names
with Marks Hinton
How do street names tell the history of a city? After whom is Brady's Landing and Barbour's Cut named? Why was German Street changed to Canal and from where did the name Pasadena come? And why were elephants used to construct Spencer Highway? Houston historian Marks Hinton will share the history of the Houston Ship Channel and Port of Houston by exploring the history of street and location names. In this talk, Hinton will discuss our leaders and heroes, share myths and legends, and describe the humor and tragedies that are part of Houston's history.
Marks Hinton, a native Houstonian, is the author of "Houston's Historic Streets: The Stories Behind the Street Names". Hinton is a retired investment banker and a founding member of the Friends of the Texas Room (the Texana Collection of the Harris County Historical Society). He served on the Orange Show Center for Visionary Art Eyeopener Tour Committee for more than twenty five years, developing and leading many of the most popular outings.

Surfside hires new town manager from Satellite Beach
The Surfside Town Commission unanimously approved Michael P. Crotty as the seaside town's next manager. He will succeed Roger Carlton, who is retiring after two and a half years of service.
Crotty was selected after the town received more than 800 applications for the position.
The list was eventually whittled down to a top three: John Mark Taxis, a former assistant manager for the city of Doral; Michael P. Crotty; and Steven Alexander, interim manager for the city of South Miami. But Taxis, who was the top-ranked candidate, bowed out just days before Surfside commissioners were to decide on a proposed employment agreement for him.
Crotty, the No. 2 choice, then learned from Mayor Daniel Dietch that he had been chosen.
Crotty will receive an initial annual salary of $155,000.
For 27 years, Crotty served as the city manager of Satellite Beach, a seaside community in Brevard County, before retiring in July 2012. Before that, he also was a city manager in Warren, Penn., in the early 1980s. He has a master's of public administration from the University of Pittsburgh.
Some of Crotty's accomplishments during his long tenure as Satellite Beach's manager include helping to rid the city of major drainage problems; development of a 35-acre sports and recreation park that includes a municipal dog park and a skate park; and the development of a 25,000-square-foot community center.
Crotty and his wife, Chris, now live in Surfside.
"He rose to the top from 806 applicants," said Town Manager Roger Carlton. "He was a town manager for a total 35 years. We have spent a lot of time together in the transition. I wish him great success."
In July 2012, city officials in Satellite Beach unanimously voted to name an oceanside park to honor Crotty for his long service and dedication as city manager. Michael P. Crotty Park was an undeveloped, city-owned site. Crotty had served the city since 1985.
Crotty began as town manager designee in Surfside on March 27. He becomes town manager when Carlton retires on April 26.
A farewell party for Carlton and a welcome party for Crotty will be held at 5 p.m. on April 26 at Flanigan's, 9516 Harding Ave.
A meet-and-greet reception for Crotty will be held on April 26 at town hall, 9293 Harding Ave.

What is the difference between Proof, Brilliant Uncirculated and Bullion coins?
Designing Britain's decimal coins began in 1961, far earlier than you may imagine.

In November 2008 a number of 20p coins were incorrectly minted resulting in their having no date.
This problem affected less than 250,000 coins of the 136 million 20p pieces minted in 2008-09 and was due to the previous obverse (the 'Heads' side) being used with the new reverse (the 'Tails' side) design, meaning the year of issue did not feature at all.
These coins remain legal tender and still have a face value of 20p.
Check the images below to see the difference between the correct 20p coin and the undated 20p coin.

Stellenbosch University (formally University of Stellenbosch; Afrikaans: Universiteit van Stellenbosch) is a leading public research university situated in the town of Stellenbosch, South Africa. Other nearby universities are the University of Cape Town and University of the Western Cape.
Stellenbosch University (abbreviated as SU) designed and manufactured Africa's first microsatellite, SUNSAT, launched in 1999.
Stellenbosch University was the first African university to sign the Berlin Declaration on Open Access to Knowledge in the Sciences and Humanities.[4]
The students of Stellenbosch University are nicknamed Maties. Some claim the term arises from their maroon rugby colours: a tamatie is the Afrikaans translation for tomato. It is more likely to come from the Afrikaans colloquialism maat (meaning "buddy" or "mate") originally used diminutively by the students of the University of Cape Town's precursor, the South African College.
The origin of the university can be traced back to the Stellenbosch Gymnasium, which was opened on 1 March 1866, which became the Stellenbosch College in 1881 and which was located at the current Arts Department. In 1887 this college was renamed Victoria College; when it acquired university status on 2 April 1918 it was renamed once again, to Stellenbosch University.
In December 2014, specialists at the university performed the first successful penis transplantation, on a 21-year-old man.[5]
The university uses four different forms of its name: the English versions University of Stellenbosch and Stellenbosch University, and the Afrikaans versions Universiteit van Stellenbosch and Universiteit Stellenbosch.[6][7]
|University rankings
|251-275 category [9]
|390 [8]
Stellenbosch University's staff and students like referring to the institution as "world class". This indicates a high sense of pride and appreciation for their university. The university is one of only three public universities in the Western Cape and one of about 20 universities in the country.
There are no existing South African or African university ranking systems, but several international rankings have ranked SU.
In the latest edition of the Times Higher Education World University Rankings, Stellenbosch University was ranked in the 251-275 category in the world and third in Africa. Another reputable ranking system, QS World University Rankings recently ranked SU at 390 in the world and also third in Africa.[8]
The Leiden University ranked SU 395th out of the top 500 universities worldwide on its CWTS Leiden Ranking list of 2013.[14] This list also ranked SU second in both South Africa and Africa, behind only the University of Cape Town.
In 2012, Webometrics ranked Stellenbosch's web footprint 2nd largest in Africa, again behind the University of Cape Town.[15]
The University of Stellenbosch Business School's MBA program was ranked 65th out of 100 MBA programmes of the leading business schools in the world the Aspen Institute's 2011-12 edition of its Beyond Grey Pinstripes survey. The USB is also the only business school in South Africa, as well as the rest of the continent, to be included in the Top 100 list.[16]
Stellenbosch, South Africa's oldest town after Cape Town, is a university town with a population of about 90,000 (excluding students). It is located about 50 kilometres from Cape Town and is situated on the banks of the Eersterivier ("First River") in the famous wine-growing region and is encircled by picturesque mountains. Teaching at Stellenbosch University is divided between the main campus in Stellenbosch, the Tygerberg campus (where the Faculty of Health Sciences is situated), the Bellville Park campus (where the University of Stellenbosch Business School (USB) is situated), and the Saldanha campus (housing the Faculty of Military Science at the Military Academy of the South African National Defence Force).
Stellenbosch University is a predominantly Afrikaans-medium university, especially at the undergraduate and honours course level. However, students are allowed to write their assignments, tests and examinations in both English and Afrikaans. The language of tuition also varies depending on the faculty, with the Faculty of Arts for example being 40% English, most if not all courses are lectured bilingually and the language of most handouts or prescribed material is determined by the student.
At postgraduate level the language of tuition is determined by the composition of the class. The majority of advanced postgraduate courses are conducted in English. According to the 2008 language profile of the university, 60% of its students stated Afrikaans as their home language, 32% had English as their home language and 1.6% of students had Xhosa as their home language.[17]
The language policy.[18] is still an ongoing issue for the University, since it is one of the very few tertiary institutions left in South Africa offering tuition in Afrikaans. Due to this, it is held in very high regard by the Afrikaner community, with the university even being considered a central pillar of Afrikaner life.
Student profile[edit]
Stellenbosch University's student racial profile is as follows:[citation needed]
|Ethnic enrolment, 2009
Faculties and schools[edit]
Stellenbosch University consists of about 150 departments divided amongst 10 faculties. It also has more than 40 research (and other) institutions.
The faculties that are situated on the main campus are:
- Arts and Social Sciences
- Science
- Education
- AgriSciences
- Law
- Theology
- Economic and Management Sciences
- Engineering
The faculties and schools that are not situated on the main campus are:
- Military Science — situated in Saldanha Bay
- Health Sciences — situated in Tygerberg
- University of Stellenbosch Business School — situated in Bellville
The Southern African node of the Pan-African University is based in South Africa and will concentrate on space sciences.[19] This decision was connected with South Africa's bid to host the Square Kilometre Array of radio telescopes. In September 2009 Jean-Pierre Ezin, African Union commissioner for science, said the node at the University of Stellenbosch in South Africa was hoped to open in February 2010.[20] According to University World News, however, The PAU project continues in other regions although Southern Africa has been lagging behind.[21]

Gericke Library has collections scattered around the campus outside of the main facility, and all of which are catalogued on a computerised database, using the university's original mainframe, a UNIVAC. There are several other satellite libraries servicing the different faculties, including the Theology Library, Law Library and Tygerberg Medical Library.
Stellenbosch University also has a Conservatory, with two concert halls. The Conservatory is the home of the internationally acclaimed[22] Stellenbosch University Choir, who, along with being the oldest South African choir have received numerous awards overseas.[23]
The university also has a 430-seat theatre, known as the H.B. Thom Theatre and an open air amphitheatre. Accompanying these facilities is the university's own drama department, under the guidance of the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences. The department regularly puts on plays, dramas, productions, cabarets and musicals.
The Stellenbosch University Botanical Garden is the oldest university botanical garden in South Africa.
The Langenhoven Students' Centre (Neelsie) houses the Student Representative Council, a food court, a cinema, a post office, a shopping centre, an advice office and all the student societies' offices. Student bands and various entertainment and activity promotions usually appear in the main food court during lunch hour.
The university has its own radio station known as MFM (Matie FM), situated in the Neelsie. It broadcasts over the entire Stellenbosch area at 92.6 FM. Broadcasting a mix of music, news, entertainment and campus news.
The university also distributes regular publications, Die Matie (appearing every fortnight), for its students and Kampusnuus (appearing monthly) for its staff. An official yearbook, Die Stellenbosch Student, is published annually and presented to all graduating students. Matieland is the name of the official alumni magazine. It is published twice a year and distributed to some 100 000 alumni and friends of the University.
Sports facilities for the more than 30 competitive and recreational sports that are supported by the university include two sport stadiums, two large swimming pools (one under roof), the D.F. Malan Center, a multi-purpose center for ceremonies and indoor sports, numerous playing fields, including a hockey field, a gymnasium and a new football complex. The university offers the following sports to its students:
Stellenbosch has served as a test site in 2006 for a set of proposed modifications to the rules of rugby union, commonly referred to as the Stellenbosch Laws.
Student housing[edit]
Stellenbosch had 34 residence halls (Afrikaans: koshuise) in configurations for women only, men only and mixed gender. Each residence is supervised by a warden (koshuisvader or koshuismoeder), assisted by a House Committee of senior students. The House Committee assists students with security, maintenance, and social programs. Each residence incorporates a laundry room and a common living room. Residences for women have a communal lounge while several men's residences include a pub.
The number of available rooms in university residences is limited, which requires some students to find private boarding. Students in private lodgings can join the Private Students' Organisation (PSO), also known as Private Wards. There are 6 PSO wards, and a student is assigned according to the location of their lodgings in Stellenbosch. Students who commute to the university are assigned to one of two mixed-gender wards. As of 2008, four new PSO wards had been commissioned.

Santino Corleon - Bad Guy
Artist: Santino Corleon
Producer: Sparkz Tha Trakman
Album: Keep The Change
Avg Rating: 2.3 ( 3 votes )
With a name like Santino Corleon, its no wonder he calls himself a Bad Guy. Seriously, he has the perfect name for a Sopranos mob boss or Godfather underling, and nobody would even bat an eye if he decided to go the organized crime route… although he definitely has a knack for this hip-hop thing. The artist's DJBooth debut features a vibrant beat from producer Sparkz Tha Trakman, who masterfully places a boastful horn atop a chiming rhythm section. Corleon's rhyme style is just as colorful as the production; in his verses, he exhibits an energetic delivery and a flow that's irresistible despite its grinding, against-the-grain sound. If you're craving more from the Cincy rapper, stay on the lookout for his debut project, Keep the Change, set for a summer release.

unicode possibilities
It would be nice if cl-user would display unicode input for CJK text. With PCL and On Lisp getting new printings in Japan, it might be beneficial to attract more brain-share from that side of the world. Would this be considered out of cl-user.net's scope?

Perhaps it would be interesting to open up a "universities" category (or subcategory of Organization) to list universities that teach lisp?

This is a good idea. Done.

re: unicode possibilities
I have to think about it.
The use of English as the standard language is prefered so that the information is useable by most lispers.
I don't mind some other language content though.

This is one among the top 5 famous houses in Auroville, Designed by Anupama Kundoo.
Her work is slotted as contemporary vernacular, many of her projects built with low energy technologies such as water harvesting and renewable energy sources. But this aspect of Anupama Kundoo's work emerges more from an attraction to efficiency. "My designs are not driven by the worry that the world will end, but by finding ways to make the most with what one has," says the 40-year-old, who has been practising for 17 years.
After graduating from Sir J.J College of Architecture, Mumbai, in 1989, she found the creative options, which were to become interior designers or to produce facades of buildings without working on the interiors, either frivolous or boring. She didn't surrender to either and headed off to travel, landing in Auroville. Some of her projects include Creativity, She describes her work as natural, without any make-up. The other area of her expertise is housing, where she recently researched tropical high-rise housing for the urban area. After working in Berlin during the building boom she got a chance to teach at the Technical University, Berlin, and Darmstadt in Hesse, in 2005.
Informed by research into and experimentation with eco-friendly construction methods, the work of Anupama Kundoo adheres to the fundamentals of Indian tectonics in forming its architectural language. In 1990 she started her architecture practice in Auroville, a place she describes as an international city in the making in southeast India
elaborate details on how this house was constructed can be found here

Ah quite beautiful.
I'm thinking over going to Auroville over Christmas ( possibly staying at 'quiet') and would love to have another viewpoint of someone who's been there. I've been to India before but never to Auroville, it looks fascinating. We're used to backpacking on a budget but this time I fancy a room with a little comfort and a bath attached. Any info' or advice would be so very welcomed.

"What a wonderful property! we had a great time on our visit here. large open floor plan with many rooms was perfect for our family of 7 over thanksgiving weekend. Separate large family room worked out super for the kids to stay up late and the adults could get some sleep on the super comfy beds. Kitchen and baths are updated and well appointed. Plenty of towels and dishes/pots and pans etc. well cared for home that feels like a the owners must of had many good times in. book this place and you will very happy you did!"Guest: Robert E.

"It was the perfect location for us. We come down every February to attend the Gem Fair. We stayed 6 days and loved the location. Beautiful views, nice swimming pool and outdoor kitchen, close to Trader Joe's, Gourmet Girls Gluten Free Restaurant, Sprouts, and Whole Foods Market. John and Lisa respected our privacy but let us know if we needed anything we just had to ask. We would love to come back if it's available again next year and yes we would recommend to our friends."Guest: CinDee & Rob Date of Stay: February 2015 Review Submitted: February 18, 2015View listing

New Release: If you miss RPGs like Baldur's Gate, today has good news! Pillars of Eternity has been released and is available on GOG DRM-Free
For many gamers, this was the first time they could give characters names... not good names... but names...
The opening menu screen
Naming yourself and your four loyal minions
Shopping in the old west
Starting out in Missouri
It's a LONG walk to the promised land
River crossing is treacherous without help
Problems, problems, problems
Gonna shoot me some cute woodland critters
Perhaps I should have considered TWA
The game's title screen. The game runs in a window with many options such as save, load & help being available via the menu bar.
The start of the game, a sort of mission objective screen.
The party is already partly complete, just waiting for the player to join.
On many screens there is an 'Explain' button. This brings up a window to guide the players' choices. Here there one explains the implication of their career choice.
Equipping the party at the general store prior to departure. The cash available depends upon the players choice of career.
The journey is about to start.
The main game screen. The top window shows the oxen pulling the wagon across the plains. At night there's an animation of a campfire. The journal builds up as the 'days' pass.
The game is full of incidents. These pop up in small windows like this that overwrite the central part of the game screen.
This is the game screen after the bullet stealing incident, note the journal has been updated.
There are many rivers to cross. The size and depth vary.
There are various ways of crossing the rivers. Get it wrong and it could cost a wagon, goods and even a party member.
Each river crossing comes with an animation.
At any point during the day the party can stop and hunt. The cursor turns into cross hairs allowing game to be shot with a mouse click.
The first fort has been reached.
Past the first fort and the going gets tough. The land here is barren and every day there's a picture of starving oxen. On top of that Ezra has broken a leg.
Yes, we have documented the game about dysentery. Information, credits, reviews, screenshots and more covering 145 video game platforms from 1971 to date!
