Short Patches of Outliers, ARCH and Volatility Modeling
In this paper we test for (Generalized) AutoRegressive Conditional Heteroskedasticity [(G)ARCH] in daily data on 22 exchange rates and 13 stock market indices using the standard Lagrange Multiplier [LM] test for GARCH and a LM test that is resistant to patches of additive outliers. The data span two samples of 5 years ranging from 1986 to 1995. Using asymptotic arguments and Monte Carlo simulations, in which we evaluate our empirical method, we show that patches of outliers can have significant effects on test outcomes. Our main empirical result is that we find spurious GARCH in about 40% of the cases, while in many other cases we find evidence of GARCH even though such sequences of extraordinary observations seem to be present.Download Info

Secura Key Celebrates 40th Year
Secura Key, Chatsworth, CA, is celebrating the company's 40th year in business. Secura Key began manufacturing mechanical/magnetic Barium Ferrite insert readers for parking applications in 1971 in California's San Fernando Valley. Secura Key invented Touch Card™ technology, which transformed the Barium Ferrite card into a digital technology. Wiegand-output Touch Card™ OEM readers kept large Cardkey and CASI-Rusco systems running for many years at major corporations like FedEx and Ford Motor Company. Secura Key used the Touch Card™ technology to build the simple, reliable 26SA and 28SA Plus Standalone readers, which were widely used by major Telephone Entry System OEMs for many years for gate and parking applications.
Secura Key later developed proximity and contactless smart card readers, keypads, control panels, and Access Control Software. Secura Key was one of the first companies to make contactless smart card readers for access control applications. They also sell RFID products (readers and transponders) for large non-access control applications, including loyalty, membership, asset tracking and process control applications.
Secura Key has a complete in-house card manufacturing and 4-color digital printing facility, and is capable of producing most major card technologies, including Wiegand, BaFe, Proximity, Mag Stripe, Contactless Smart Cards (including TI, Mifare, and DESfire technologies) UHF, and multi-technology cards. Secura Key has designed and built most of its production equipment and manufacturing automation with internal resources.

Lim, Doou Gie (2005) Design and development of a conveyor system for semiconductor industry. [USQ Project] (Unpublished)
Project_Report_(Full).pdf Download (7Mb) |
Conveyor system is an essential part in a Semiconductor Industry. It is used to transfer leadframes from one work station to another. As leadframe is a very delicate item and care must be taken not to damage them as any scratch marks or dents found on it will lead to it being scraped. Therefore, the design of the conveyor system is important. A good conveyor system will help to save up in the production process, time and most importantly cost. Nowadays, companies with high end products have suddenly swamp into Singapore. This is due to it's attractive location, extensive telecommunications connectivity, superior logistics and supply chain infrastructure. Companies like Matsushita Electric and Chartered Semiconductor has invested hundreds of million dollar into it. These show that the semiconductor market is in the midst of a strong growth in equipment and materials, and all indications are that this trend will continue for a long time. Therefore a good process line is required for the manufacturing of the products in order to keep pace with the ever increasing demand. This is when a good conveyor system comes in handy. The main objectives of this research project are to: - Design and develop a custom made conveyor system to help in transferring the leadframe from the press machine to the stacker, whereby the leadframe will be nicely stack up after being cut, without damage. - Separate the four strands of leadframes that is been cut out from a coil by the press machine, to aid in the stacking process. - Save production process, time and cost.

Sven Nykvist

- Dec 3, 1922
Bio: Justly reputed by everyone (across the board) as the most gifted cinematographer of the 20th century, Sven Nykvist was one of a handful of practitioners of that craft who raised working with cinematic light (as a director of photography and a camera operator) to the level of an art form, on par with Rembrandt, Monet, and Van Gogh. His legacy is inextricable from… More Bio: Justly reputed by everyone (across the board) as the most gifted cinematographer of the 20th century, Sven Nykvist was one of a handful of practitioners of that craft who raised working with cinematic light (as a director of photography and a camera operator) to the level of an art form, on par with Rembrandt, Monet, and Van Gogh. His legacy is inextricable from that of his lifelong collaborator, Ingmar Bergman, under whose aegis Nykvist instantly built his reputation. (It can hardly be deemed accidental that reviews of masterworks such as Through a Glass Darkly [1961], Winter Light [1962], Persona [1966], and Fanny and Alexander [1982] invariably begin by praising those films' gradations of luminescence.) One thus cannot overestimate Nykvist's contribution to cinema or his impact on our way of looking at the world.For the first decade of his career, Nykvist paired up with directors including Rolf Husberg on Barnen Från Frostmofjället (1945), Lennart Wallen on Lata Lena Ocla Bla Ogde Per (1947), and Schamyl Bauman on Maj på Malö (1948), as well as the legendary Alf Sjöberg, on Barabbas (1953). During the '50s, he also directed a feature about his missionary family's interaction with a witch doctor, shot in the Belgian Congo, called Under the Southern Cross (1956), and made a documentary about Albert Schweitzer.Though the majority of Nykvist's cinematographic work up through the early '50s wasn't screened outside of Sweden, the tide turned in 1953, when Bergman -- only 35 at the time and already on his 13th film, Sawdust and Tinsel -- transitioned from the cinematographer Hilding Bladh to Nykvist. (Bladh purportedly demanded that Nykvist shoot the film's challenging interior images as a demonstration of his proficiency.) Fortuitously, Ingmar Bergman (only four years older than Nykvist) had the same aesthetic inclinations, which presaged a long working relationship between the men; however, their full collaborative relationship didn't officially begin for another six years or so, until the director's The Virgin Spring (1959). In the mean time, Nykvist shot many additional Swedish films and continued to hone his craft.The results of the Nykvist-Bergman partnership are infamous; to put it mildly, Nykvist managed to capture every psychological nuance of the director's work on a visual plane -- something that has rarely been accomplished before or since in a director-cinematographer relationship. In addition to the aforementioned titles, their joint credits include: The Silence (1963), The Hour of the Wolf (1968), Shame (1968), Cries and Whispers (1972), Scenes from a Marriage (1973), The Serpent's Egg (1977), and Autumn Sonata (1978). All but The Serpent's Egg were widely hailed as masterpieces. Nykvist arguably delivered his greatest impact with Cries and Whispers, with its expressionistic color scheme and frequent fade-outs to a solid red plane. Variety captured the essence of that film when it observed, "Sven Nykvist's Eastmancolor camera, working on period sets dominated by warm reds, complement the stark emotional undertones." Indeed, that picture netted Nykvist an Academy Award for Best Cinematography, as did Fanny and Alexander.In between Bergman projects, Nykvist collaborated with such five-star European filmmakers as Mai Zetterling (Loving Couples), Louis Malle (Black Moon, Pretty Baby), and Roman Polanski (The Tenant). Pretty Baby marked Nykvist's first American credit (though not his first English-language film); producer Malle purportedly had trouble securing a permit for Nykvist, and though the two worked fluidly together, Nykvist encountered some difficulties on-set, including trouble with the unions (which objected to his desire to operate the camera) and the crew's frustration regarding his methods of working with natural light (in that case, to emulate the paintings of Vuillard).As Bergman's filmic activity died in the '80s and '90s, Nykvist segued into far more conventional Hollywood fare, such as Bob Fosse's Star 80 (1983), Norman Jewison's Agnes of God (1985), and Nora Ephron's Sleepless in Seattle (1993). He made a particularly outstanding contribution to Phil Kaufman's The Unbearable Lightness of Being (1988). Nykvist debuted as a feature film director in 1991 with The Ox (starring Bergman mainstays Liv Ullmann and Max von Sydow), the story of a poor 19th century Swedish farming family; it opened to mixed reviews. In 1995, he lensed Ullmann's well-received directorial debut, Kristin Lavransdatter, a medieval period drama set in Norway. Peter Yates' Curtain Call (1999) marked Nykvist's swan song; soon after, he contracted aphasia, a form of dementia, and moved into a nursing home in his early eighties, which prevented him from shooting Bergman's final film, Saraband (2003).Sven Nykvist died of causes related to his condition on September 20, 2006. In an obituary, The New York Times' Stephen Holden eloquently summarized Nykvist's central gift by stating: "In [Nykvist's] films, especially those with Mr. Bergman, light assumed a metaphysical dimension that went beyond mood. It distilled and deepened the feelings of torment and spiritual separation that afflicted Bergman characters. But in scenes of tranquillity filmed outdoors, the light might also evoke glimpses of transcendence."The outstanding documentary Light Keeps Me Company (2000), directed by the master's son, Carl-Gustaf Nykvist, provides an exemplary overview of Sven Nykvist's career, with clips from many of his finest films. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi

Candidate filing deadline is MondayStaff Report | January 23,2013Despite what it says on the forms, petitions to run for local office are due in to the City Clerk's office Monday.
Paperwork distributed by City Hall gives the deadline as Jan. 30. City Clerk Henry Heck said this was an error attributed to the fact that petitioners have two days to withdraw their petitions and keep their names off the ballot.
"It was just that the dates were mixed up," he said. "Even though the deadline is the 28th, it's not an official petition until the 30th."
Heck said he tried to get notices to everyone who took out petitions.
"If Bob Smith comes out of the hills on the 29th and says 'here's my petition,' we'll look at that then," Heck said.MORE IN This Just InBRADENTON, Fla.

I'm sorry to hear you had problems. I'm showing you have several family sites with several family trees. None of the trees has more than 1600 individuals in it.
Can you help me find the family site and tree you're referring to?
In any case, I sent you a link via email to download your largest family tree with 1570 individuals.
Thank you for your kind answer, at I btw wasn't notified about.
The damage is done as I used the GEDCOM as a base for another program, which I have worked further on.
The tree was ny original Nielsen Family Tree - the largest one.
Now I need to identify the discrepancies - a tedious process
Hi! I have one family tree, where have 59 person. I invited one person to my tree, and he see only 34 person on online page. How can I setting to he see all person on my tree? See the attached image.
Sorry my poor english :S
We don't display the entire family tree at once.
I agree this can be a bit confusing.
In order to load the tree faster and to display it in a visible user friendly way, we load several branches each time.
If the entire tree would of displayed at once, it would show many boxed and lines and you couldn't follow the connections.
Each Branch that wasn't loaded and displayed can be expanded and become visible by clicking the branch icon next to the individual card (blue and pink rectangles icon)
By the way, if you wish you can create an all-in-one chart that will display the entire tree in one chart.
I hope I made things clearer for you.
Best Regards,
MyHeritage.com team
My question is related, perhaps, to the original one in this thread.
I am using the Family Tree Builder and uploading to the site. In the Family Tree Builder I select a person as "Home Person." I select a person other than myself.
After uploading, the on-line tree does not initially display the entire branch of the Home Person selected in Family Tree Builder. What it seems to display is only that portion of the Home Person's branch which connects the Home Person with me. For example, although the selected Home Person had 5 children, the tree initially displayed in the on-line site shows only the child in the direct line between me (the Home Person's great grandchild) and the Home Person.
As you indicated in your first response, I can click on the "branch card" icon to display the Home Person's full branch. My preference, however, is that the first tree displayed upon loading of the family site would reveal the full branch of the selected Home Person.
Is that somehow doable?
Thanks for the help.
Hi Neil,
The online tree will display the direct realtion to you (the home person). I am afraid that you cannot change the default branches that are displayed on those that are hidden.
If you wish, you can choose to set a different home person (only for the online site):
The trees that need to be deleted are:
FAMILY - 15 Sep 2011
FAMILY - Earlier Version
That will leave two current trees in my account. Thanks, folks.
Paul J. Lareau - LAREAU WEB SITE
Hi Paul,
Since your tree is very big, we need to delete these trees from side.
I have deleted the trees you requested.
Why do new updated versions of a tree not automatically delete the old one. Every day I dave more and more smart matches to people who have multiple trees with the same people in them. I have to go through and click ignore tree all the time, which is a real pain, and does no body any good. I hear others with the same complaint.
Please let me know!!!
Hi Roger,
Thank you for writing us regarding this issue.
Generally, when you sync your tree you overwrite the data on your site.
However, if you choose to save your project as a new project it will create a new (duplicate) project on site. An issue that happens from time to time is that instead of saving the project normally ("Save project..." function), site managers pick the other function ("Save project as...") which accidentally saves their project as new ones and thus creating the duplicate smart matches.
Another options is individuals who work with GEDCOMs (from other softwares) and not the family tree builder, unfortunately there is no GEDCOM overwriting functionality and they simply have to delete the old tree and upload the new tree.
There are a few other possibilities such as loading from backup that may upload it as a new tree (by accidentally choosing the wrong options)
The best course to resolve this would be to contact the other site managers and to ask him why is this happening with his site - and to possibly help them as they may be unaware of the situation.
I'm sorry for the bad experience Roger, and I hope that this will atleast explain why our members sometime upload duplicate trees. I hope this helps!
I checked within the program and it states the 1500 photos are still associated to that family tree project. But everything i have tried everything i can think of, including the option within the program to scan for genealogy files (and after importing several older dated versions of the tree) still no photos are showing up!
I even tried uninstalling and resinstalling the software (amongst other things) to no avail.
An old backup i made several months ago of the actual "My Documents/MyHeritage" directory (with only 500 or so photos) works fine and the photos are there. But that is not much help really with so many photos and more than 1000 people that had not been added yet at that point.
I've searched the forum and seen that people who have an online backup of their family trees have managed to restore their photos via that method. But my partner hadn't decided to upload her family tree online yet, so that is not going to be a feasible solution in our case.
I also read that this is a known bug that occurs sometimes when the virtual cemetery is used. But she has only ever used the very basic features within the program to build her family tree, and view it. And hasn't ever tried any of the other features such as the cemetery etc.
If this is a bug with no available solution, then i will have to resort to stringently making a backup of the My Documents/My Heritage folder every week, or else search for alternative software. As this is quite a serious and worrying bug that should definitely be ironed out as soon as possible, as i doubt that we will be the only people to have had this occur and then become so incredibly disillusioned and frustrated by it.
Thanks in advance for your attention.
Dear Mr.Ritchie,
Thank you for your post.
Please note that I have sent you an email regarding this matter.
Kind regards,
MyHeritage Team
please excuse my ignorance. If that is the case, why havent they all got the icon?
We're doing our best to reply all emails as soon as possible. Once you get an answer to your email as reply to the question you sent via support form, you can get back to the same person, replying his/her email to ask for further help and send more questions.
Best regards,
Can someone please tell me the difference between DIRECT and INDIRECT Relations when I print a booklet!. My futile attempt at applying logic doesnt work.
Thanks ooklet
Thank you for the question!
Direct relation means the "blood relation", while 'Indirect relation' means relation via marriage. For example, if you have an uncle that is your mother's/father's brother, he's related to your directly. But his wife, who is your aunt, she will be related to you indirectly.
Hope this helps,
Best regards
I can´t access to events and photos. When i going to access in the page it says "this page you were trying to visit has been specified as off limits by the site manager". Well, I am the site manager. Can you help me?

Knowing Your Purpose
As important as knowing whom you are writing for is knowing why you are writing. What is the goal of your essay? What are you hoping to convey through your writing? The more clearly you can articulate your purpose while you outline your essay, the more effective your writing and revising states will be.
Here are some verbs you might find helpful for describing your purpose:
Of course, your specific goals will be guided by the prompt you receive on Part II. In a narrative essay, for example, your main purpose will be to describe. In a persuasive essay, your main purpose will probably be to convince. In an expository essay, you may aim to inform, compare, propose, or explain, depending upon your topic. As you think about how to write your essay, think about how you would fill in the blank in the following sentence:
My goal in this essay is to _ _ _ _ _.
Beginnings, Middles, and Ends
As you know, essays have three distinct parts:
- beginning (introduction)
- middle (body)
- end (conclusion)
You will be expected to have all three parts in your essay.
First impressions count, and that's why introductions are so important in writing. A good introduction:
- indicates what the essay is about (its topic) and what the writer is going to say about the topic (its main idea)
- grabs the reader's attention
- establishes the tone of the passage
Techniques for grabbing attention include opening with:
- a question
- a quotation
- a surprising fact or statement
- an imaginary situation or scenario
- an anecdote
- interesting background information
- a new twist on a familiar phrase
For example, a more attention-grabbing introduction to the Batman passage in the pretest might be something like the following:
Pow! Bam! Zap! Batman triumphs again, saving the citizens of Gotham City from evil.
This opening plays upon a convention of comic strips and the Batman television series. And because it is unique and uses exclamation points, it generates interest and excitement in the reader.
Conclusions, too, should be powerful. After all, people tend to remember most what comes first and last, and the final words have the power to ring in readers' ears for a long time afterward. A good conclusion will:
- restate the main idea
- provide a sense of closure (not "open a new can of worms" by introducing a new topic)
- arouse readers' emotions to make the ending and main idea memorable
The Batman text, again, provides a good example. In Batman, Kane gave us an image of our own superhero potential.
This concluding sentence sums up what makes Batman so popular, rounding out the passage in a way that makes readers think about their own similarities to Batman and what sort of superheroes they could be.
Many of the same introductory techniques can be used to help make conclusions memorable:
- a quotation
- a question
- an anecdote
- a prediction
- a solution or recommendation
- a call to action
For example, the conclusion to an essay about a healthy diet might end with a call to action:
Take a good, long look in your refrigerator and pantry. What unhealthy foods call your icebox and cabinets their home? Find them, get rid of them, and stock up on foods that will help you live a longer, healthier life.
Effective Essays and the Writing Process
Experienced writers know that good writing doesn't happen all at once. Rather, it develops in stages. That's because writing is a process, not just a product. And it's difficult to get a good product without going through each step in the writing process.
The writing process can be divided into three basic steps:
- planning
- drafting
- revising and editing
When you are under pressure to write a winning essay in just 45 minutes, you may be tempted to skip these steps and just write your essay in one shot. You may end up with a successful essay with this approach. But your chances of doing well on Part II of the GED Language Arts, Writing Exam—indeed, on any writing task—will increase dramatically if you take the time to work through each step. Even though you only have 45 minutes, the ten minutes you spend planning and proofreading your essay will be time well spent. In fact, for essay exams, the planning stage is so important that it has been divided into six separate steps in the following section.
Six Steps to a Strong Essay
These six steps will help you write a strong, effective essay on the GED Language Arts, Writing Exam.
Step 1: Understand the Writing Prompt
Before you can begin to plan your essay, you need to be sure you understand the kind of essay you need to write. As noted earlier, it is essential that you respond accurately to the writing prompt you are given on the exam. If you write about a different topic, you will not receive credit for your essay. It's therefore critical to understand exactly what the prompt is asking you to do.
Earlier in this section, we divided the essay prompts into three types: narrative, persuasive, and expository. How do you know which kind of essay the prompt is asking for? Each prompt will have key words that can help you understand what to do. These key words include terms such as:
tell describe identify explain
Notice, for example, the underlined key words in the following prompts:
The Internet includes many websites with images and content that are inappropriate for children. Other sites on the Internet promote violence or intolerance against certain groups of people. Should websites like these be censored? In your essay, state your position on this issueand explain why you take that position. Use your personal observations, experiences, and knowledge to support your essay.
Sometimes events take an unexpected turn and things end up differently than we imagined. Tell about a time when something unexpected happened to you. In your essay, describe what was supposed to happen and how things actually turned out. Use supporting details throughout your essay.
You are on your way to a successful essay if:
- You understand what kind of essay to write: narrative (tell a story), persuasive (make an argument), or expository (explain an idea or respond to a situation or scenario).
- You follow the directions exactly and directly answer the questions in the prompt. In the first example, you must state your position on the issue raised in the prompt—censorship of certain types of Internet sites. In the second example, you must tell a story about a specific kind of experience—a time when something unexpected happened.
Step 2: Formulate a Clear Thesis
Before you begin to write, you need to decide what you are going to write about. Once you are sure you understand the prompt, how will you answer the question it asks? Your answer will form the core of your essay. It will be the main idea that controls everything you write and determine the kind of support you will provide. In other words, your answer to the question in the prompt is your thesis—your main idea. It is the "argument" that you are going to make and the idea you need to support.
A thesis does not just repeat or paraphrase the question or prompt. It does not simply make general statements about the topic or state how others might respond to the question. A good thesis takes a clear, personal position. For example, look again at the following
Our relationship with our neighbors is very important. Sometimes these relationships are the source of great joy in our lives; other times, they can be the source of great trouble. In your opinion, what makes a good neighbor? In your essay, identify the characteristics of a good neighbor and explain why these characteristics are important for people living side by side. Use your personal observations, experiences, and knowledge to support your essay.
The following sentences are not thesis statements (they do not answer the question).
- There are all kinds of neighbors.
- What makes a good neighbor?
- There are many characteristics of a good neighbor.
These, however, are thesis statements. They respond directly to the question.
- Good neighbors are helpful and kind.
- The best kind of neighbors help when asked and otherwise mind their own business.
- Good neighbors are friendly, helpful, and respectful of boundaries.
Step 3: Brainstorm Support for Your Thesis
Once you have decided how to answer the question(s) in the prompt, decide how you will support your answer. On your piece of scrap paper, list at least three to five reasons, examples, or specific details to support your thesis or events to develop your story.
Because you are still in the planning stage, write down whatever comes to mind. You don't have to include everything you list in your essay. And the more ideas you put down, the more freedom you will have to pick the best (strongest) support for your thesis.
For example, here's how you might brainstorm support for the previous prompt:
Thesis: Good neighbors are friendly, helpful, and respectful of boundaries.
Friendly neighbors are pleasant to have around, make it nice to live where you live.
Helpful is important—know you can count on them for small favors, when you are in need.
Need to respect boundaries, not to take what is yours, not to get too involved in your life—otherwise they will not be welcome.
Friendly—my neighbor Selma and her family—always saying hello, often chatting, cookies at Christmas.
Helpful—lending tools to Dad, borrowing sugar etc., babysitting.
Respecting boundaries—don't just walk in, don't be nosy; they're your neighbors, not your family.
Listing is just one brainstorming strategy. You can also map your ideas. This is especially effective if you are a visual learner, as shown.
Step 4: Create a Detailed Outline
The next step is your opportunity to make sure the essay you write is both well organized and well developed. By creating a detailed outline, you can:
- put your ideas in a logical, effective order
- fill in any gaps in your support
Basic Outline Structure
Essays follow this basic structure:
- introduction (states thesis)
- body (explains and supports thesis)
- conclusion (brings closure and restates thesis)
Your outline should follow this basic structure, too. Because you are writing a very short essay, you should have at least one point in your outline for each paragraph. Thus, the "body" section of your outline should be broken down into the individual supporting ideas for your essay:
- introduction
- support 1
- support 2
- support 3
- conclusion
This basic outline has three supporting points. If each outline item has one paragraph, you will have a total of five paragraphs in your essay. While there's no set rule about how many points or how many paragraphs you should have in your essay, this is a good guide to follow. Three supporting paragraphs will generally give you enough support to make a strong case (if you are writing a persuasive essay), to sufficiently explain your ideas (expository essay), or to tell your story (narrative essay).
Organizing Your Support
Obviously, you know where to put your introductory and concluding paragraphs. But how do you organize the ideas in the body of your essay? Which of the four organizational patterns you reviewed earlier—chronology, comparison and contrast, cause and effect, and order of importance—should you use for your support?
If you are responding to a narrative prompt, chronological order is clearly your best choice. Describe the events in the order in which they happened. Be sure to use strong transitions and details as you tell your story.
If you are responding to a persuasive prompt, order of importance is probably the most effective pattern to use. Because the prompt asks you to take a position, your main support will consist of the reasons that you took this particular stance. A logical and effective way to present those reasons is by rank. Organize ideas from the least important to the most important reason, from the least compelling to the most compelling example.
If you are responding to an expository prompt, your organizational pattern will depend upon your purpose. Often, order of importance will be your most effective choice. This is true for the good neighbor prompt. Notice, for example, how you might organize the support from the previous brainstorm:
Introduction: Good neighbors are friendly, helpful, and respectful of boundaries.
- Friendly neighbors are pleasant to have around, make it nice to live where you live.
- Helpful is important—know you can count on them for small favors, when you are in need.
- Need to respect boundaries, not take what is yours, not get too involved in your life—otherwise, they will not be welcome. (It's okay to not be friendly and not be helpful, I can live with that—but it's not okay to not respect boundaries.)
Ex: My neighbor Selma and her family
Ex: lending and borrowing things
Ex: physical boundaries (yard, house) and social boundaries (private family business)
Here, the characteristics that make good neighbors are organized by order of importance. The most important characteristic and most compelling examples come last.

Probably the best history in Wales...
Museum of Welsh Life (Cardiff)
Member Name: collingwood21
Museum of Welsh Life (Cardiff)
Date: 28/06/02, updated on 28/06/02 (180 review reads)
Advantages: Free entry, good place to visit in summery weather, good shops, plenty to see
Disadvantages: Not all parts have wheelchair access, bad cafe, parts closed off when in use by schools (which is annoying), the past is romanticised
The Museum of Welsh Life is the oldest open-air museum in Britain (having opened in 1948), and claims to be the most visited heritage attraction in Wales. Occupying an enormous 104 acre site in a wooded valley, it has an assorted collection of buildings (most of which were dismantled from various places all over Wales and re-erected here), together with a couple of archaeological reconstructions, an Elizabethan manor house on its original site, a number of working craft displays and some indoor galleries. The purpose of all this is to show the visitor what life in Wales would have been like over the centuries.
- Getting there
One of the big pluses of this site is the fact it is so close to a capital city ? although in the middle of the valley you would find that hard to believe! If you are driving, then it will take about 15-20 minutes from city centre, just follow the brown signs for St Fagans out of Cardiff that will lead you to the museum car park. You may find it easier to use public transport, though, and this is surprisingly well catered for (I am used to not being able to visit places through the lack of a car). The 320 bus runs hourly (at 20 minutes past the hour) from stand B of Cardiff Central bus station, and drops you off right outside the entrance gates ? coming back, they run at 50 minutes past the hour just across the road to the entrance (it will cost £2.50 return from the bus station).
- What will it cost?
The nice people in the Assembly have decreed that everyone should have access to the National Museums of Wales,
so have made entrance completely free. While this is very nice of them and makes for a cheap day out, it unfortunately removes the main source of income for the museum, which is a bit of a problem. For this reason, I would recommend buying a visitor guide - the £1.95 will go towards important conservation work, and the information it contains is actually very useful as you wander around the site.
- What is there to do?
The main location on the site is the galleries, set in the large entrance building along with the museum shop and restaurant. While it is quite clear that renovation work has gone on to provide good, accessible visitor facilities, it is equally clear that noone has done anything to the displays for a very long time. A lot of them look very dull and outdated, and a lot of visitors seemed to be wandering through with a rather glazed expression on their faces! As there is so much to do on site, I would really say not to bother with anything other than the costume gallery - the display on national dress was the one worthwhile bit here.
Leaving the main building, you enter the open-air part of the museum, with a rather large collection of sites and building spread right across the site, and pleasant green walkways leading between them - this is where your guidebook map comes in useful! I would say that visiting the museum involves lots of walking, and while there are plenty of seats spread around, it is worthwhile selecting which parts you want to see and heading directly for them if you have trouble walking around or have young children with you (or if you are just plain lazy). I was recovering from an injured knee at this point, so there was no way I could possible get round everything!
One of the main attractions at St Fagans is the manor house - which for some reason they insist on calling a castle. Unfortunately, this was closed for conservation work when I visited, but it should be open again for the main
summer season when schools finish. From the guidebook though, this looks to be a National Trust-ish sort of experience.
There are two archaeological-type reconstructions on site which are part of a new development to extend the museum. They have a timber circle, and more interesting for me, an Iron Age village complete with roundhouses and timber palisade. I don't know how much validity these reconstructions have, but they are fun to have a look at nonetheless, and are a bit of a change from the farmhouses that seem to dominate the museum!
A number of buildings have craftsmen working in them, offering displays (and sometimes souvenirs) to the public - these are intended to reflect 500 years of traditional skills in Wales. Notable among these displays are the bakery, pottery, blacksmith, miller and tanner. In all other buildings though, there are museum assistants to answer your questions about the items on display and the structures themselves.
This site does attract many groups of schoolchildren during term time, so be warned that some areas may be blocked off to other visitors while schools are using them.
Other sites include:
- bee hives
- a post office
- early 20th century shops
- war memorial
- a church
- a schoolhouse
- a boat house
- a coach house
- a "house of the future" (currently being developed)
A visit takes between 2 hours and a full day, depending on how much you want to see/are prepared to walk. Available visitor facilities are:
- café (avoid - bad food and overpriced)
- restaurant (not cheap, but the food its much better)
- plenty of picnic tables if you take food with you
- two shops with a good range of stock
- chance to buy items made on site (e.g. pottery, bread)
- children's play area
- toilets with disabled access
Most of the site has wheelchair access, with the exception of the cast
le and castle gardens, which are up several flights of steps.
- My opinion
St Fagans is really little more than a romanticised nostalgia-fest for older visitors and a place to bring school groups I'm afraid. While it is a cheap and quite enjoyable day out if you are lucky enough to get good weather, I don't feel that I left with a better knowledge of how my ancestors lived, or what Wales was like over the past few centuries. I am somewhat doubtful over how accurate some of these displays actually are (you need to take them with a considerable side serving of salt), and while they have done a good thing by saving so much material from loss, I feel that they lose some of their historical meaning when taken out of context as they are presented here. And of course, there is the inevitable bias towards South Wales. Despite this though, I am glad that I contributed to the costs of the museum, in the hope that modern interpretation practices will eventually filter in...
Sorry, but for the time being, if it's an open-air museum you are after, Beamish is much better!

During the 1990′s GeoCities provided a free web hosting platform for as many as 1.8 million users. Because of this low bar for entry onto the World Wide Web, GeoCities acted as a sandbox where fledgling web designers could cut their teeth, creating personal interest web pages for no cost. Since Yahoo purchased GeoCities in 1999 for $3.57 billion it continually struggled as a profit generating enterprise, relying upon advertising revenue that was dependant upon visitor traffic on the user generated websites. Facing continually declining numbers of visitors to user sites Yahoo has finally decided to close GeoCities for good as of October 26, 2009 in favor of its own brand of low-cost web hosting services.
Other popular free web hosting services of the GeoCities vintage are still alive and kicking… For now. The Lycos owned Angelfire and Tripod hosts are still available, and German owned Jimodo has made a business out of marketing themselves as a new home for displaced GeoCities users, as well as those from the now defunct Google Page Creator. But, with literally hundreds of free web hosting providers to choose from there is little reason to limit your search to advertising supported hosts. HelioHost stands the model of advertiser supported free web hosting on its head by providing fully featured hosting, albeit with limited space and bandwidth. For qualifying high-profile sites HelioHost will provide the option of placing advertising on your site in exchange for expanded space and bandwidth.
Several companies which have web hosting as their core business provide more full-featured free web hosting packages, which are also free of advertising, to their entry level customers as a way of getting them in the door. Then as customers see the need to go to the next incremental level of service this can be provided for a reasonable fee without the disruptions that changing hosts can create. Such is the case with X10Hosting, free web hosting customers get most of the features available to paid customers, but for as little as $4.95 per month un-metered storage and data transfer can be available along with shell access, 99.9 percent up-time guarantee, and other features.

[an error occurred while processing this directive]
Washington (ANI): Popstar Jennifer Lopez and her hubby Marc Anthony have sparked rumors that their marriage is crumbling, after the two were spotted without their wedding bands. While Lopez was spotted without her 8-carat diamond wedding rock at the premiere of The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Marc Anthony was spotted in Las Vegas sans his wedding band."They both didn't wear their rings on purpose, Nothing Jennifer does is without purpose," Usmagazine.com quoted a mutual pal of the married couple, as saying.
The pal also revealed that Anthony is dominating at times, and Lopez on the other hand thinks Marc is responsible for her falling career. It has also been reported that Anthony even picks out Lopez's clothes and keeps tabs on her phone calls.
[an error occurred while processing this directive]"He's very, very controlling of her. The skirts aren't as short. You don't see so much of that booty anymore," a pal said. "Jennifer looked around and said, this is my life now? I'm a Long Island housewife?" a pal says. "She hates that everything she worked for went down the tubes," the pal added.

Nice jacket

Comments about Cannondale Pack Me Jacket - Men's:
This is a really nice jacket. It is highly visable, very comfortable, and well fitting. The jackets run small so you may want to purchase a size up unless you are small within your normal size. Aside from that the jacket is water resistant not proof and is highly packable.

Great lightweight jacket
By cdevenney84
from denver, co
I got this jacket on sale and it's great. Neon yellow is very visible, it fits well, and packs down small enough to fit into a jersey pocket.

What is LEED Certification?
The U.S. Green Building Council first published the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED®) in the mid 1990s. The LEED rating systems were developed to evaluate the environmental impact of buildings based on energy use and materials used during construction. The Green design helps to improve the quality of buildings and their impact on the environment. It is a national accepted benchmark for the design, construction, and operations of high-performance green buildings.
The LEED rating system consists of 6 categories. Each category carries a possible point rating for a total of 69 possible points:
Projects are rated according to the points they receive and are classified into one of four classes:
Certified 26-32 Silver 33-38 Gold 39-51 Platinum 52-69

Khripunov and Nikonov publish book for NATO
CITS researchers Igor Khripunov and Dmitriy Nikonov have collected the work of over 100 international experts from more than 20 countries for a new book in the NATO Science for Peace and Security series. New international approaches to strengthening nuclear security and preventing nuclear terrorism have been introduced since 2000. The adoption of new and revised international laws, initiatives, and voluntary mechanisms has led to improved security measures in this critical area, but there is still a need for stronger substantive and procedural arrangements. This book collects the presentations and deliberations of participants at the NATO Advanced Research Workshop held in Vienna, Austria in January 2010.The papers presented here summarize current understanding of, and approaches to, the legal framework for nuclear security and counterterrorism. The book will be of interest to all governments, international organizations, researchers and practitioners worldwide who are involved in securing nuclear materials and preventing nuclear terrorism.

Photo Competition
Photo Competition Winner - May '10 by Katherine Hill

- May 2010
This beautifully composed picture shows a great deal of imagination. Taken close to the Hotel Kalevala, the low setting sun glistens off the crisp snow, throwing out long shadows as it peeks under the lowest branches of the frozen trees that surround the lakeshore. I'm not often a fan of landscape images taken on an angle, but by waiting for the right moment with the sun hovering just above the horizon, and focusing on a point a little in front of the lens, Katherine has ensured that although May marks the sun setting on the 2010 winter activity season, I am already inspired to plan a winter escape in 2011! Congratulations Katherine.

Oh shut up. Every time it rains, it stops raining. Every time you hurt, you heal. After darkness, there is always light and you get reminded of this every morning but still you choose to believe that the night will last forever. Nothing lasts forever. Not the good or the bad. So you might as well smile while you're here.

You still don't understand what you're dealing with, do you? Perfect organism. It's structural perfection is matched only by it's feeling for the groove.

i dont like the first alien movie as much as the second, i havent watched the other ones (steph says im not missing much but i say im missing sigourney weaver as sgt fuckin ripley but she made me promise not to watch it and she was sitting on my head) but i liked the facehugger best in the first one because you dont know what its gonna do
someone said, i think it was babs, she said that they didnt know it was gonna explode out of that guys chest so when theyre all freakin out, that was real, like that little blood splatter and the "bwuh!??!" thats all real
man i need to watch those movies again whos with me

I used a few of these tests last cycle and there is an 80 percent chance you'll get an evap within the time limit and before 30 minutes, I will NOT be using them next cycle.
were are you getting that number? and why are you reading test 30 minutes later? I used these fast for nearly 4 years while i TTC and got one evap during the time limit ever. as for 30 mites later, many test will do that, thats why they say not to look at them after 10 minutes!
