St. Olaf is rooted in the Lutheran tradition of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA), and is a place where conversations about matters of faith are part of campus life and numerous opportunities are provided for students to grow in their faith and discover how they are called upon to serve others. St. Olaf currently is one of 27 colleges and universities affiliated with the ELCA, and the student congregation is considered to be an ELCA congregation. In addition to regular Sunday services in Boe Memorial Chapel, daily chapel services that feature a faculty or staff member, student, or visiting speaker, are open to students of any faith who choose to attend.
As the St. Olaf community embraces its Christian heritage and engages in interfaith dialogue and activity, so also does it strive to be an inclusive community of various faith traditions, beliefs, and backgrounds.Approximately 40 percent of students at St. Olaf are Lutheran, but the college hosts a variety of religious groups for students to explore faith, including Muslim, Jewish, and a variety of Christian student associations, plus a Baha'i Club.
St. Olaf intends that its graduates combine academic excellence and theological literacy with a commitment to lifelong learning. Students are required to take two religion courses as part of their general credits; these provide not only a theological background of the Bible and Christian faith, but also a perspective into other religious practices and moral reasoning.

Fairytales speak the language of children, so it is the best way to stimulate students' interest and involve them in the educational process. Through this project the students from Greece, the Czech Republic, France and Romania will collect traditional fairytales from their places, learn the basic elements of fairytales and, finally, write their own. These fairytales will be illustrated and decorated with the children's own drawings and all this material will be included in a book under the title "Fairydusted Tales". Moreover, students can use these fairytales to make their own videos, dramatise them, perfom puppet plays based on them or make them into e-books. All this material produced through this project will be uploaded on the school's website, on a special place designed for the project.
All good things have to end and it's time for all of us to return from our journey to Fairyland. It was something that we will never forget, something that filled our lives with happy, creative and special moments. We will always remeber each other and we hope that we will be able to meet soon:)
Have a nice holiday all of you, and always remember that the entrance to the most enchanting and beautiful places is through our imagination...
Best Wishes to all eTwinners and co-travellers:)

The Pac-12 Has A Fresh Name With Fresh Game
It wasn't long ago when what was the Pac-10 had teams that ran out rosters with multiple NBA stars-in-the-making. The 2008 NBA Draft class contained 12 players from the Pac-10, and that meant there was the talent and notoriety for the league to send more than half of its teams to the NCAA Tournament.
The UCLA Bruins were the dominating factor, making the Final Four for three consecutive seasons from 2006-08. Kevin Love, Darren Collison and Russell Westbrook beat up on squads with guys like O.J. Mayo and Jerryd Bayless. But since then, those talents have been bleeding into the NBA, leading to a weak reputation and poor postseason showings. Read More »

Archived:Mobile Extensions
Archived: This article is archived because it is not considered relevant for third-party developers creating commercial solutions today. If you think this article is still relevant, let us know by adding the template {{ReviewForRemovalFromArchive|user=~~~~|write your reason here}}.
Mobile Extensions are generally not available, and where available not supported. Use Qt Mobility APIs instead.
Qt Mobility replaces Mobility Extensions API
You can extend your Qt applications on S60 with the Mobile Extensions. The Mobile Extensions were a technology preview and have been replaced by the Qt Mobility project at Qt. Newest version of Mobility is 1.1, see f.ex http://qt.nokia.com/products/qt-addons/mobility/
Qt Mobility is also included in the (Nokia) Qt SDK available in http://www.developer.nokia.com/Develop/Qt/Tools/. Notice the name change between Nokia Qt SDK 1.0 and Qt SDK 1.1 (that contains both desktop and mobile development environments, covering Symbian and Maemo).
Even though mobile extensions are officially deprecated we still want to hear your valuable feedback. If you have any questions, issues or improvement suggestions please utilize our discussion board: http://www.developer.nokia.com/Community/Discussion/forumdisplay.php?196-Qt-for-Symbian It is actively monitored by the team behind the Extensions and Qt Mobility.
Mobile Extensions
The delivery package
The Mobile Extensions are delivered as source code as well as binaries. This package contains nineteen APIs and example code illustrating the use of each one. There are also five demonstration applications. The demonstration applications are available by installing the launcher application included in the delivery package. The demonstrations and examples are built against Qt 4.6.3: Symbian source and binary zip
- \README.txt: Brief notes about the Mobile Extensions
- \doc: Documentation in HTML format (unzip the zip file to view it). The API documentation is also available as part of standard eclipse
- \install_to_device: Pre-built extension libraries and demos and examples for installing to a device.
Note that this does not include the Qt binaries. They need to be installed separately. See Qt SDK
Obsolete Release notes for Mobility Extensions
2.7.2009 - Third Technology Preview of the Mobile Extensions:
- New API features:
- New API added for setting device alarms: Alarms API.
- New API added for accessing the calendar on the device: Calendar API
- Messaging API now supports emails
- Settings Manager API now includes several new classes for more control.
- Simpler installation: The libraries do not need to be built since the binaries are now included
- Simpler usage:
- "system include" directory containing all public headers added
- Only LIBS += xq* is needed in .pro files
- Carbide templates removed
Qt must be installed on your S60 device so that you can run applications. Qt must be installed in the SDK(s) that you will be developing with.
Note: Some of the APIs require restricted capabilities which means your application installation files need to be Symbian Signed. See Signing an application in the Qt Developer's library for more information about this.
- Unzip the Mobile Extensions package (qt_s60_mobile_extensions.zip) into a new directory. There are no installers to run.
- Install the development package and emulator libraries by unzipping the qt_mobile_ext_libs_epoc32.zip package into the EPOCROOT directory. This package contains pre-built extension binaries and libraries as well as the SDK plugins. The EPOCROOT directory is the same directory that contains the epoc32 directory, for example C:\S60\devices\S60_5th_Edition_SDK_v1.0\.
- The examples and demos can now be built and the extensions can be used in your own applications.
26.5.2009 - Qt Mobility Project announced:
In February we published the first versions of Mobile Extensions for Qt that provide the capability to extend your Qt applications to utilize mobile features on S60 devices.
We've gotten great feedback from our developers and now we're happy to announce that the first set of these APIs are being evolved for cross-platform use, not just S60. The API interfaces and use cases of mobile extensions have been refined based on the valuable feedback we've gotten. The project is called the Mobility project ( http://labs.qt.nokia.com/category/qtmobility/ ) and the work is starting with Bearer Management API and Contacts API.
In addition there will be other enablers for Qt developers that can be used on mobile devices like the announced Service Framework (http://labs.qt.nokia.com/2009/05/26/qt-service-framework/). In the longer run we're aiming to get more cross-platform solutions from the mobile extensions. It is recommended to always use the cross-platform Qt APIs when available.
9.4.2009 - Second Technology Preview of the Mobile Extensions:
- Improved documentation. In addition to the Eclipse plugin all the documentation is available as HTML. The .chm document file is removed.
- Some fixes in the APIs.
- One installer package for the demonstration applications that is compatible with Qt release S60 3rd Edition and S60 5th Edition binaries.
- The installer package checks whether your device supports S60 sensor plugin or S60 sensor framework and based on that installs the correct version of the Bricks application.
- The demonstration applications usability has been improved.
- Simplified examples.
- Example UIs done with Qt designer.
Getting started
To test the demonstration applications, see the demonstration section of this page. All that's needed is an S60 3rd Edition, Feature Pack 1 (FP1) or later device. If you are unsure which S60 Edition device you have, check the Nokia Developer device specifications page. Note that as Qt is a technology preview the usability and look and feel of the applications may be imperfect.
The precondition for developing with these extensions is that [[Qt SDK]] must be installed. More information regarding Qt development is also available here.
Should you have any questions please utilise the Qt discussion board.

- Information about S60 devices
Want to try the demonstration applications?
In addition to the simple example applications provided, there are five more advanced demonstration applications featuring some of the possibilities that the Mobile Extensions provide.
- Flickr demonstration: The demonstration uses your location to fetch pictures taken near you.
- Camera & MMS demonstration: The demonstration captures an image using the onboard camera. The picture is sent to a selected contact (as a multimedia messaging service, MMS) and added as your image, which is shown once you call the contact (in vcard terminology called the 'logo', so the demonstration could be called the 'remote logo setter').
- Contact Photo demonstration: The demonstration adds an image to a contact that is shown once the contact calls you (in vcard terminology called the 'logo').
- Bricks demonstration: A game that demonstrates how sensors can be used as input controls.
- Landmarks demonstration: Lists landmarks around the current position (10 km radius). Landmarks are also added to the database of the mobile device. Demonstration also offers a chance to make phone call if a number can be parsed from the name of the landmark.
The API documentation in HTML format in 'http://doc.qt.nokia.com/qtmobility-1.0/index.html. After unzipping the package open index.html to view the documentation in your browser.
Obsolete Developing with mobile extensions - use Qt Mobility
Mobile Extensions are located under the directory .\extensions\src\. Simple example applications demonstrating the APIs are located in directory .\extensions\examples\. There are also more sophisticated demonstration applications that use several extensions in the .\extensions\demos\.
To use an extension you need to add the appropriate Extension library to your project file and add the include path to the Extensions header files. Then, in your code, you need to include the appropriate header file for the Extension you want to use. The header file always has the same name as the main Extension class. In many cases you will also need to add some security information to your project file since the Extensions use restricted features of the device.
For example, if you want to use the Access Point Manager API, the Access Point Manager API implementation notes show that you need to add the following lines to your .pro file:
INCLUDEPATH += [my relative extensions path]\extensions\include symbian:LIBS += -lxqaccesspointmanager symbian:TARGET.CAPABILITY = ReadUserData
Then you need to include the header for the Access Point Manager API class in your application source. The main class is XQAccessPointManager so the name of the corresponding header file is xqaccesspointmanager.h.
#include <xqaccesspointmanager.h>
Note about platform security
Starting with S60 3rd Edition Platform Security applies all C/C++ applications on S60 devices.
The same capability and certification rules apply to Qt applications as for Symbian C++ applications. Some of the extensions require either a developer certificate or the use of Symbian online signing. For more information about platform security, see Symbian OS Platform Security.
User-grantable capabilities are LocalServices, ReadUserData, WriteUserData, NetworkServices, and UserEnvironment (and Location beginning with S60 3rd Edition, Feature Pack 2). The APIs that use only user grantable capabilities only (APIs that you can utilise without having an application Symbian Signed) are shown in the API listing below. If your application uses these APIs, the application can be self signed and installed to a "Qt-enabled" S60 mobile device.
Building the examples
The easiest way to get familiar with the extensions is to play around with the examples. You can start using the examples simply by importing the examples .pro file in to Carbide.c++ (instructions available in the Qt developer's library). If you just want to compile the complete examples, you can do so also from the command prompt:
Building the Contacts example for the emulator
cd extensions\examples\contactsex qmake contactsex.pro make debug-winscw
Running the example on the emulator
make run
Building and installing to a target device
make release-gcce createpackage -i contactsex_gcce_urel.pkg
This will create a self-signed contactsex_gcce_urel.sis and install it to your device assuming you have Nokia PC Suite installed and a compatible device connected to your PC.
You can also specify your own certificate and key files as additional parameters to createpackage if the default ones are not suitable, for example when self signing is not adequate due to capability requirements.
Note that if you want to compile the flickr or landmarks demonstration applications remember to set your Flickr API key to the following files:
- .\demos\flickrdemo\Flickrdemo.cpp
- .\demos\landmarks\Landmarks.cpp
APIs in the current release
The Mobile Extensions package contains pre-built versions of the Mobile Extensions libraries. You can install them with the .\install_to_device\qt_mobile_ext_libs.sisx file. NOTE: the Qt 4.5.2-Tower binaries must be installed in your device before you install the Mobile Extensions libraries.
The source code for the APIs is located in the .\extensions\src\ folder. There is no need to build them yourself since pre-built binaries are supplied but, if do you want to build them yourself, they must be built with the Qt 4.5.2-Tower release - older Qt releases are not supported.
Examples using the APIs are in the .\extensions\examples\ folder. Prebuilt versions of them are also included in the Mobile Extensions package in the .\install_to_device\demos_and_examples\ folder.
For detailed API documentation, refer to the documentation in the delivery packages .\doc\ folder.

Demo applications
In addition to providing the APIs and simple examples, we offer fancier demonstration applications that show some of the possibilities that the Mobile Extensions provide. Note that because both Qt and the Mobile Extensions are in the technology preview phase, there may be certain issues with the demos. We welcome your feedback on the discussion board.
Install the following packages:
- Install the Qt SDK
- Go through this article: Getting started with Qt
- Install the MobileExtDemos application (.\install_to_device\qt_mobile_ext_demos.sisx) that contains all the demonstration applications.
Be aware that because the demos use Internet connections (and the Camera MMS demonstration sends an MMS), your operator will charge you for data traffic and messages.
MobileExtDemos application
The MobileExtDemos application can be used to launch the demonstration applications. The following screenshot shows this application running on the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic device:
Flickr demo
The demonstration uses your location to fetch pictures taken near you using the Flickr service.
The following screenshot shows the demonstration running on the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic device:
- Once you've launched the application, give it some time to get the location; when the location has been retrieved, clicking the Download Picture List button will retrieve the pictures taken near you.
- If the location has not yet been retrieved, hard-coded test coordinates will be used. You will see a prompt notifying you of this.
- After the download starts, the grid will be populated with pictures and thumbnails of the pictures.
- Once you select a picture from the list you can download it by clicking the Download Selected Picture button.
- When the download starts, you will see a progress bar. Once the download has finished, the picture will be shown on another window. Clicking OK will add the picture to the gallery; Delete will remove the picture.
To compile the Flickr demonstration application, remember to set your own API key to the following file:
- \demos\flickrdemo\Flickrdemo.cpp
Camera MMS demo
The demonstration captures an image using the on-board camera. The picture is sent to a selected contact (as an MMS) and added as an image that is shown once you call the contact (in vcard terminology, the 'logo').
Remember to have the application running on the device to which you're about to send your picture (the receiving end)!
- First, take a picture using the Capture button. Once you click the button you will see the picture that's been taken. If you want to take a new picture, select Take A New Photo. When you're satisfied, click the Send to Contact button.
- Select a contact from your contacts list by clicking the Send To Contact button.
- Once the contact has been selected, click the Send button. Note that after the 'Picture was successfully sent' dialog it still takes some time for the picture to actually be sent and received on the other device.
Once you hear the message tone, the MMS has arrived at the other mobile device and you will be able to see that the application on the receiving end is showing your contact information and the received picture.
The picture can be added as your logo just by clicking the Add button. You can easily test to see if the demonstration works by calling the receiver. Note that the MMS message is deleted automatically from the receiver end. You don't have to do anything with the application on the receiving end — just have it running.
Screenshot of the demonstration running on the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic device:
Contact photo demo
The demonstration adds an image to a contact that is shown once the contact calls you (in vcard terminology called the 'logo').
- First, select a contact from your contacts list by clicking the Contact button. Once the contact has been selected, click the OK button.
- Next, select an image from the gallery or take a picture using the Camera button. Once you click the camera button you will see a viewfinder; take a picture by clicking the Capture key. When the picture has been taken, click the OK button.
- Now you've selected the contact and the picture. Click Update Contact and you're done.
When the contact calls you, you will see the picture you set as the caller's logo! Screenshot of the demonstration running on Nokia 5800 XpressMusic:
Bricks demo
The Bricks demonstration is a simple arcade-style game that demonstrates the use of sensors to control the player object.
Screenshot of the demonstration running on the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic device
Landmarks demo
The Landmarks demonstration lists landmarks around the current position (10 km radius). Landmarks are also added to the database of the mobile device. The demonstration offers the opportunity to make a phone call if a number can be parsed from the name of the landmark.
Once the application starts, it will read the GPS location. When the location has been retrieved, the Download Landmarks button will start retrieving landmarks near you. If the location has not yet been retrieved, a hard-coded test location is used.
When the landmarks have been retrieved, they are listed in a listbox. If the landmarks have a phone number included, the number will be displayed in the Call To button and a phone call can be made to the defined phone number.
To compile the landmarks demonstration application remember to set your own API key to the following file:
- \demos\landmarks\Landmarks.cpp
- The Mobile Extensions first preview package
- The Mobile Extensions second preview package (now replaced by the Third preview package)
We welcome your feedback and suggestions. If you have any questions or feedback, please use our discussion board at Qt Discussion board
Have fun with the extensions and stay tuned for updates!

Most of you know how much I love the NFL. I wrote about it a couple of years ago in this post. Each weekend I catch a couple of games from Thursday night to Monday. I subscribed to NFL Now. I have a fantasy team. I have been a fan since I watched John Elway and the Denver Broncos blow the biggest lead in Monday Night Football history against the hated Los Angeles Raiders. Somehow I became a life long Denver Broncos fan and if I saw Raiders quarterback Jay Schroeder on the street, I'd boo him in real life.
All through the 80s I'd rage at The StarPhoenix sports desk for never posting the west coast scores of key Broncos games and would have to go downtown to the main library to find a "real paper" to find out the score (real paper was always the New York Times who hated their sports desk and make them stay up late so they could publish the west coast scores or USA Today who probably felt the same way). I hated the sports broadcasting of first 650 CKOM and then C95 for only occasionally mentioning the occasional NFL score which ignoring the important AFC West games. (important as in Broncos scores)
Yet for some reason this year, I've had enough for a few years now, the cons have been piling up:
- The response to head injuries (read the entire feature on what concussions did to former Steeler great Mike Webster to see what playing in the NFL does to players)
- The league pressuring cities in the middle of bad economic times to spend to build new buildings for owners or their franchise will move to Los Angeles (see Oakland, Minnesota, New Orleans (before the Hurricane) and Jacksonville)
- The league's nonprofit status and how they manipulate and abuse local cities to pay for insane things for the Super Bowl (don't click on that link, it will just make you angry)
- Turning a blind eye to the reliance on drugs (PEDs and otherwise) which going crazy over pot. (the NFL is soft on HGH but is ten times tougher on pot then the IOC)
- Finally it was the Ray Rice incident and the reality for me that the NFL condones violence against women. 21 of 32 NFL teams employed a player with a domestic or sexual violence charge on their record last year. Commissioner Roger Goodell said back in 2012 that he wanted to get serious about domestic violence. In 2014 he gave a two game suspension to Ray Rice while victimizing his fiancee (and now wife) by having her tell her version of events in front of the man that abused her.
The worst part of the Ray Rice thing was that well respected GM of the Baltimore Ravens suggested that Rice's wife was to blame and the Ravens Twitter account even tweeted out her apology. An apology apparently for being violently hit? The NFL could have also demanded to see the video ("umm, Ray you are suspended until we see all of the sealed evidence") and it isn't as if the first videos of Janay Rice laying on the floor of the elevator and Ray Rice kicking her lifeless body to the side wasn't horrible enough. If you haven't seen it, it made me sick to watch it.
No, something is wrong at the NFL. Roger Goodell is a big part of the problem. He was going to be the new sheriff that was going to clean up the league and protect the "shield". Instead he became obsessed over pot (which is not a performance enhancing drug) which ignoring the bigger issue why so many NFL players are violent towards women, in a league that is trying to aggressively market itself towards women.
In fact, a lower percentage of NFL players are violent towards women than in the general population but because of wealth, status and a stable of high priced lawyers most of those charged, get away without penalty (the worst example of all time is boxer Floyd Mayweather – don't read this link unless you have some time to get angry). The other issue is for a NFL player, what constitutes a jury of their peers. Many people on that jury cheered for him, wore his jersey, and was a fan of the team he was on. The league is stuck trying to penalize it's players. Of course by handing out ridiculous penalties for pot use or for dog violence, you would expect them to give out severe penalties for violently hitting a women. Nope, those are the lenient penalties which both reflect a problem with the league and society in general.
So yeah, I am fed up with the NFL. I still love football. Mark is trying out as a linebacker for the Bedford Road Redmen err RedBlacks err Red Hawks. There is the NCAA, the CIS, or if forced to watch it, the CFL. I'll still have football but unless there are some serious reforms in the NFL, I am done. How do I say to Mark and Oliver that it is never ever okay to hit a women and then sit down and turn on the NFL which condones violence against women.
It's been a great 26 years of being a diehard Denver Broncos fan but enough is enough. Roger Goodell has to go and until something changes, I'm out of here.

Social Proof in Action: Why I Give
The Nature Conservancy has taken a lesson from the essential marketing playbook - Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion by Robert Cialdini.
In addition to soliciting donations via their website, they're also asking people to share the motivation behind their giving. This is their way of generating "social proof."
I first learned about the concept of social proof from my BFF Katya Andresen. (She's been writing about it since 2007!)
According to this post on her blog, "social proof is the powerful idea that if we think everyone else is acting in a certain way, we're likely to act that way, too."
Why I Give is a classic example of using things people say about you and your organization (also known as testimonials) to generate more giving.
Again, from Katya, "Quotes from people talking about why they support you are powerful. Other people are often your best messengers."
In addition to demonstrating social proof, Why I Give is also a great way for The Nature Conservancy to:
1) Engage current donors by soliciting and highlighting their feedback; and
2) Do FREE market research to better understand donor motivations for giving.
What are you doing to show prospects that others are giving and they should join in too?!

thanks for the help any more suggestions weather or not to do a crawl space with stone floor or make a concete floor.thanks again |
- Posted by christopherh (My Page) on Tue, May 1, 07 at 7:16
The only home I had with a crawl space had gravel over dirt with heavy plastic sheeting to keep the moisture out or at least to a minimum. I believe a concrete floor for a crawl space is a waste of money. But if you're considering a concrete floor why not put up the extra courses of block or extra concrete and have a full basement? Even if the only access is from the outside you won't regret the extra space for storage. |
thanka agin for the help,any other adive on this subject? |

Heritage tours can be very interesting extensions to genealogy research. As well as providing an opportunity to find items specific to your ancestors which are not available anywhere else, they provide insights into the past, and a linkage to other countries (or, in North America, to other parts of your own country!) that would not otherwise exist.
Have you wondered what the villages were like where your forefathers lived, and what their homes looked like? Where they worked? What landmarks they saw every day that might still be around today?
These are some of the questions that inevitably will arise in doing family history research, which can only be answered satisfactorily by doing a heritage tour.
By 2005, I had made enough progress in my genealogy research that I had grown curious about where my ancestors had actually lived in the Old Country. I wanted to know more - to actually see the villages, and perhaps some of the buildings that were there in their day.
I decided to visit England and do a heritage tour of a few of the villages, and try to find the homes where some of my ancestors had lived.
One of my cousins, also a genealogy buff, happened to be going to England at the same time with his wife. As part of our heritage tour, we arranged to visit the family home of a maternal ancestor in Yorkshire.
A seventh cousin lives in what used to be the farm workers' quarters, and he showed us around the lovely property and other family holdings in the area, some having been in the family since the 1300s.
The Yorkshire rolling hills
I remember standing in the back yard of the main home looking out over the rolling hills, struck with the realization that one of my direct ancestors some 500 years before had lived and walked on this property, and had looked out over those same hills!
It was almost like he was standing there with me, looking over my shoulder. It was quite an emotional moment - somewhat eerie, somewhat humbling, and definitely elating and exciting, all at the same time!
In the short time I had been in England, I had noted a strong sense of history in general, with its many buildings dating back a thousand years or more; but this was personal - a connection with my own ancestors, going back hundreds of years, which I had not experienced before.
We then went down into the village and visited the parish church. The caretaker let us in and showed us around. He told us that the church had been renovated at some point in the 1900s, but that they had preserved our ancestors' pew as a sample of what the older pews had been like, as the family had attended that church for several centuries and had been very supportive of it. A number of their descendants had been ministers there.
There was an entire red velvet pew, dedicated to this family, with plaques in memory of various family members hanging on the walls above the pew. There was even a family crest in the glass of one of the stained-glass windows! We were amazed - awe-stricken - and delighted to find it!
The Elmhirst Pew in the Worsborough, Yorkshire Church
The following day, we went to the local library, where we located a copy of the family's hand-written pedigree, a sort of family tree which had to be done to prove their lineage when the family was about to be elevated to the peerage. It dated from approximately the 1500s, if I am remembering correctly.
My cousin arranged to buy a life-sized copy of it - more than 5 feet long and 3-4 feet wide. I, on the other hand, not being quite so flush with cash, contented myself with photographs!
A very successful heritage tour!
Later in that same England heritage tour, my husband and I visited friends in Norfolk County for a few days, and did a "whirlwind tour" of a number of ancestral villages in Norfolk County, on my father's side of the family. We took a lot of photographs, and spent many hours walking through graveyards looking for tombstones bearing family names.
In the village where my great-grandfather and three generations before him had lived, we found only one gravestone of a relative, although it is the only cemetery for that town, and others are sure to have been interred there.
We took a number of photographs of the village green and the school which my great-grandfather and his mother had attended.
Parish Church overlooking Shouldham,
the Village where my great-grandfather
and three generations before him grew up
In a more recent sequel, my mother-in-law, who lives in England, indicated that she was traveling to Norfolk.
She offered to go to Shouldham, the village where my great-grandfather had grown up, and to take photos of the ancestral homes, if I could determine from the census or other documents which houses they were. I jumped at the chance to further my family history research!
At first, I thought that determining the houses they had lived in would be an easy task. However, I soon discovered that the earlier census documents listed no street numbers or names; all streets, other than the main road which ran along the edge of the village green, were identified as "Back Street".
The more recent census documents did identify a few street names, but other than the one or two that can still be seen on a map today, the street names have changed.
After several hours pouring over old maps of Shouldham which I found on the internet, looking for "landmarks" in the census documents (such as churches and pubs) which might still be in the same location today, and attempting to determine the route which the census enumerators had taken in each census, I gave her reference points in relation to the three non-conformist churches in the village.
Looking across the Shouldham Village Green.
The sign on the end of the building reads "King's Arms Pub",
which, according to the census documents,
was in existence in my ancestors' day!
However, with the passing of time, many of the older houses have been
knocked down to make way for much larger, more modern homes, and it is
difficult to determine how many dwellings were removed in the process.
My mother-in-law later reported that someone in the village had told her that there were no names on the streets, or house numbers, until the 1960s. (Hence the English custom of naming a home.)
She came away with a treasure-trove of photographs of the village, including some possibilities for the houses in which my ancestors had lived, based on the census documents, but it appears that it may be impossible to identify the actual dwellings with any degree of certainty.
One of the advantages of paying for an arranged heritage tour is that the tour operator researches things like dwelling places of your ancestors, and takes you to them.
If I were doing a 'trip of a lifetime' - a one-shot trip for which I wanted to get the absolute most out of the trip - I would make an arrangement with such a heritage tour operator, so that the research is done in advance, and I would get the most for my money.
The Shouldham village green from another angle
The village green, however, still contains virtually all of the same buildings that were there in my ancestors' time, and the Anglican church and yard, where many of them were christened, married, and buried, still stands on the hill overlooking the town.
The manor house of their day, inhabited by the Lord of the Manor, is now a "care home".
The school which my great-grandfather briefly attended is still there, and is now a private home and bed and breakfast.
While the exact houses in which they lived may not be readily identifiable, there still were significant landmarks and buildings which I know were part of my ancestors' everyday lives.
My great-grandfather on his homestead
in Northern Ontario, Canada, early 1930s
As previously mentioned, my great-grandfather grew up in Shouldham, Norfolk.
In the 1881 census, he was living and working at a farm in Stradsett, a short distance from home.
He later migrated to Middlesbrough, Yorkshire, where he met and married my grandmother, also from Norfolk.
He and his wife came to Canada in 1899 with their family, including my grandfather.
Above is a photo of him in the yard of the farm which he and his sons carved out of the wilderness that was Northern Ontario.
This heritage tour added a new dimension to my genealogical research, and made dry statistics of births, marriages, and deaths come alive, rendering them much more meaningful.
These are places where people whose blood runs through my veins once lived and worked!

IEEE hopes to drive cloud computing standards
Standards organization IEEE has decided to get involved in cloud computing, starting with two development projects related to cloud interoperability, it said on Monday.
Standards organization IEEE has decided to get involved in cloud computing, starting with two development projects related to cloud interoperability, it said on Monday.
The IEEE has finally approved the 802.11n high-throughput wireless LAN standard.
The IEEE 802.11n standard is likely to be approved in September, making the high-speed wireless LAN technology official after about seven years of wrangling and refinement.
The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers has launched a new project to create standards and interoperability for the so-called smart grid, an IT-driven upgrade of the electricity grid.
New technologies could be developed into products more quickly and cheaply if new "patent pool" licensing programs set up by the IEEE Standards Association are a success.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

When Halliburton released its results, the numbers looked great: For the second quarter, Halliburton's net income was better than expected, at $480m, or 53 cents per share, up 83 per cent from $262m, or 29 cents per share, in the year-earlier quarter. Its revenue was $4.4bn, up 25 per cent from $3.5bn in the same quarter last year. But the oil services provider noted that the impact of the US government moratorium in the Gulf of Mexico would be felt in the future.
From the statement by Dave Lesar, Halliburton's chief executive:
The tragic incident that occurred in the Gulf of Mexico, and the subsequent suspension of deepwater drilling, we believe, will usher in a new regulatory climate and will have a profound impact on how deepwater drilling is performed. We are taking appropriate actions to mitigate the impact of the reduced activity in our Gulf of Mexico business, including redeploying our people and equipment to other areas of stable or increasing activity. Despite these moves, we estimate that the deepwater drilling suspension will negatively impact our earnings by 5-8 cents per quarter for the remainder of 2010.
Sounds like bad news. But that is only part of the picture: that for the short term. In the long term, Halliburton expects the tougher regulatory climate from the moratorium will give it a new source of business. From Mr Lesar:
The events in the Gulf of Mexico have not stifled our enthusiasm for increased deepwater activity in the coming years. Deepwater will continue to serve as an important source of hydrocarbons necessary to meet future energy demand. Contributions from the service sector can play a valuable role in developoing new technolgical innovations and best practices to help customers operate safely and efficiently in these challenging conditions and will generate a corresponding increase in service intensity.
In other words, there is light at the end of the tunnel. There will be a need for more work for companies such as Halliburton to help the oil producers carry out the tougher requirements, build the safer equipment, and perform the heightened operations not only in the Gulf but likely in many deepwater basins around the world.
So even as the oil services company may feel the impact of the moratorium in the coming months on the downside, they will certainly feel it, on the upside, next year and in the years to come. Not a bad trade-off, investors might feel.

The Office of the Indiana Attorney General is the designated agency to administer the John R. Justice (JRJ) Student Repayment Program for the State of Indiana. The purpose of the program is to encourage qualified attorneys to choose careers as prosecutors and public defenders and to continue in that service. The Office of Justice Programs (OJP) has provided funding under the FY 2013 JRJ Program in the amount of $63,873
Eligible recipients must enter a service obligation with the U.S. Department of Justice agreeing to remain employed as public defenders and prosecutors for at least three years in order to receive a payment under this program. Failure to fulfil the employment commitment will require repayment of the full amount received by the recipient to the U.S. Department of Justice.
Federal student loans (both FFEL and Direct loans) are eligible for assistance; however, loans in default, Parent Plus loans, and private, commercial or alternative student loans are not eligible.
Check for commercial student loans, which will not appear in the National Student Loan Data System.
Commercial loans are not eligible for forgiveness. www.annualcreditreport.com.
Awards will be distributed to those least able to repay their loans, but will be spread among geographic and population density to ensure that funding is not isolated or heavily concentrated in any particular geographic section of the state.
The methodology that will be used to assess an applicant's ability to repay their student loans will be to consider the ratio of an applicant's total eligible educational debt to an applicant's adjusted gross income. A cost of living adjustment will be made for each applicant by county. The minimum ratio needed to receive benefits will be determined after all applications are received and the numbers of applications is compared with the total amount of funding available.
JRJ award recipients that do not fulfill the U.S. Department of Justice service agreement must report their ineligible status of the Office of the Indiana Attorney General.
For further information about the Indiana JRJ Program, contact Natalie Robinson via email at firstname.lastname@example.com.

EK-Supremacy Nickel-plexi CPU Block Continued
The EK-Supremacy is a three piece assembly with a nickel plated copper base plate with the clear plexi top sandwiching the Intel mounting bracket. As you can see the top of the block is screwed on through the base, but I can only guess that these holes are for LEDs, if you want to add them.
The bottom of the block where the CPU will eventually make contact is covered with a paper sticker to keep anything that may happen to the block out of the packaging. In the box I doubt this will be damaged at all.
Removing the sticker and placing a spring and thumbscrew on the base, you can see by the perfect reflection how finely polished this base is out of the box. Against a razor it is very flat and level with the only deviation being at the outside edge of the four screws.
Inside of the base, there are over 50 micro channels to give this block its low resistance rating and some 20% improvement over the Supreme blocks. The water flows in the center of the fins and out and around to be pulled out via the large channel around the outside.
Inside of the top you see the J1 jet plate which strangely isn't assigned a specific CPU assignment like the other two and the thick rubber washer to seal the three components together. This is the perfect time to drop in the J2 plate for my LGA1155 CPU or swap out for the AMD mounting bracket.
It's a bit tough to see, but you are looking at the back of the "in" threads. You can see the end is blocked off diverting all in flow through the jet plate and through the slits in the base plate of the block.
I removed the J1 plate since the instructions say to use the J2 plate, which is now in the top, for my specific CPU and this is the plate I will be using for the testing.
The front of the accompanying instruction show the block in an exploded view at the top with explanations of the components and next to is there is the talk of the jet plates and uses. At the bottom they start with the disassembly for a new plate or mounting bracket.
On the flip side is where you get to the mounting instructions. These aren't complicated, but pay attention to the fine details as specific sockets require slightly different bits of the installation kit.

Centerstance and Ventus Solutions, two prominent business consulting and cloud-based technology solutions, have announced the successful completion of their merger agreement. The merger coincides with the kickoff of Dreamforce on December 6.
Premier partners of Salesforce.com, both the companies have been ranked by clients with the highest customer satisfaction scores achieved by any Premier Partner.

We are on the tail end of a master bath renovation of our 1950's home. The quartzite countertops were installed last week. I do not know what the quartzite is called, but it's white with light gray veins. It's beautiful. Here is my question/problem: There is a small black mark that is driving me nuts. I originally thought it was maybe a wax pencil mark (thought maybe they used it to mark the stone before cutting it??) but I couldn't scrape it off with my finger nail. It looks like I dropped the mascara wand on the counter top. Needless to say it is bothering me. Two things keep running through my head- one being that if it is a flaw/impurity of the stone, why on earth would they use that end of the slab as it is literally on the far end and edge and I have a 6' remnant left, and two, if it is a stain did they seal it in? What if they can't get it out? I'd almost rather have a dent in the stone than an obvious black mark. I will post pictures, but you can tell it doesn't follow the same lines of the veining. I just wanted an opinion on if you think it is a stain vs. a flaw and how you would handle the situation. I'm going to call the stone people today. There are other areas that look like they have some kind of resin/clear caulk/epoxy that I want them to clean up. (not happy about that either!) and I should note that on the cut edges there is more of the black marks that look like colored pencil lines and orange ones as well. Certainly not as noticeable, it just makes me think that they didn't do a good job cleaning up! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Looks like part of the stone to me, much like the black flecks that often appear in calacatta (which I strove to avoid in my bathroom tiles). |
Looks like a natural variation in the stone to me too. When we purchased the granite for our kitchen, we went down after they had the template laid out on the slab so we could approve it. They worked with us to move it around to the extent it was possible to get the parts of the slab we wanted to feature and try to avoid parts we didn't like as much. Did they give you that option? You might see if to get them to cut another top from your leftover if they didn't, but I'd be surprised if they would without additional cost to you. When we purchased our bathroom stone, we did not go and approve the layout because there really weren't going to be any options. There was basically only one way to do it and get everything from one slab. One of the vanity tops has some areas where I notice some darker spots. In a perfect world, we would have worked around those areas but since that would have meant buying a second slab, I am going to accept it for what it is - a natural product with variations. |
Thanks for the opinions. I was not given a choice regarding the template. It's frustrating because there is literally no other mark like that anywhere on the rest of the counter or on the remnant. Never even thought to check it out while they had it marked. I saw the slab and didn't notice it. I have Carrara marble and soapstone in my kitchen, none of which have any imperfections like that, so it never crossed my mind. However, I will sleep easier knowing it's the stone! I can accept that. |

Think of it as a beauty mark... that is a gorgeous stone! Can we see a bigger picture? |
Larger photo of quartzite stone in our master bath. Not all of the lighting is in, so it's hard to get a good shot of the stone. But here goes. Thanks, again for your input and encouragement. I do love the stone and have decided one imperfection will not dampen my spirit! |
- Posted by treasuretheday (My Page) on Wed, Mar 20, 13 at 16:28
Oh, that's a beautiful vanity! There's alot to love there, black mark or not. I am curious though as to where the mark is in relation to the pictures. If it's in the wider view, I can't see it. |
It is in the wider view, but the way the light is coming in from the window it's in the glare. It's on the far right side of the vanity just a bit away from the edge. |

And it looks like tensions will only escalate as she's been nominated for her fifth task of the series following the latest public vote.
The former Coronation Street star faced the Come Dive With Me challenge on Friday alongside Charlie Brooker from Eastenders.
As they prepared to go into the bug-filled tank, Helen appeared confident and described water as her "strong point", but nevertheless it was the nervous Charlie who stepped up first to try and retrieve stars and win meals for camp.
After a panicky couple of minutes she emerged with three stars and then it was Helen's turn - but the 22-year-old failed to follow the rules.
She lifted her four stars with her hands instead of using her teeth, despite hosts Ant and Dec trying to warn her.
"I'm afraid in the rules it said you have to take them off with your teeth, mouth and you used your hands in both domes," they said, as they confiscated the stars from a jubilant Helen as she climbed back out of the pool.
"I'm afraid they don't count. We were trying to tell you."
Disappointed, she replied: "I think it's because I panic so much, I forget using my teeth. I did my best."
The girls headed back to camp with three meals - but it seemed Helen's efforts, which come after a litany of failed trails, had frustrated Charlie.
She confronted the Eastenders actress, saying: "I can feel that you sometimes think I dramatise things. I don't that's my natural reaction."
Charlie replied: "I think sometimes, and I know that's you and I'm different and we are two completely different girls, I do sometimes think it's a little bit drama. That's not necessarily a bad thing."
Helen continued: "I'm naturally like that I'm not putting it on, that's what I want you to get."
Back at camp, the girls had to explain what happened to their disappointed co-stars.
When I saw the stars I was so happy to see them I forgot, I just grabbed them and put them in my pocket thinking 'oh my God that's two stars'.Helen Flanagan

Helen Flanagan
A dejected Charlie explained: "They were disqualified because she didn't get them with her teeth."
As the camp mates looked, Helen continued: "I just got too excited to see them (the stars). I felt like such a loser when I came out. Guys I feel sensitive and emotional at the moment so if I get a bit weird then I'm sorry."
Charlie had more to say once they were apart.
"Just the silliness of it all," she confessed. "Just frustrates me. It's like you really need to get a grip sometimes."
She told the Bush Telegraph: "When you feel you have to walk on egg shells because you might say something that's going to make somebody cry, it becomes a little bit intolerable to live with all the time. I find myself losing my patience."
And it seemed some of the other campmates are also becoming annoyed with Helen's lack of success in the Bushtucker Trials.
Straight-talking former darts champion Eric Bristow told Charlie: "Glad I wasn't with her. It's hard work isn't it? She's useless."
Meanwhile singer Ashley Roberts and Made in Chelsea's Hugo also had the ex-Corrie star's failures in mind when they chatted in the hut.
Hugo said: "I'm very sympathetic about her not getting it but had the opportunity to win what 40 stars (over the last few challenges), she's won zero. I could see some people were furious. I could see Eric was furious. I could see it in his face to lose three meals on a technicality or just not listening is one thing everyone can do is listen."
Ashley replied: "Obviously going off and doing those things is traumatic. Today I felt like if I was there I probably would have excelled at it."
Hugo continued: "I'm trying to be accepting. She seems more bothered about what people think rather than about the hunger. So I don't know what's motivating her. I'm motivated to win by hunger. She's like 'fine, I don't want anything' and eats some toothpaste."
"She's young and coming in here for a reason - to learn. Everyone is mothering her a little bit too much. This is a great opportunity to discover something about yourself and if she gets treated exactly the same way she does in the real world that's not beneficial for her."

Senior Bowl Weigh-in Impressions: Part 1
January 23, 2012 in Uncategorized
Be sure to check out Steve's other 2012 NFL Draft Coverage with his: Latest Mock Draft, Senior Bowl Coverage, Draft Blog, and Draft Page.
Thoughts on Players from Today's Senior Bowl Weigh-in:
-Nick Foles, Kirk Cousins, and Brandon Weeden easily had the best frames, with Foles easily being the best. He's built like a Tight end, and it is all muscle. If he can show any bit of athleticism it could really boost his draft stock.
-Other end of the spectrum was Ryan Lindley, Kellen Moore, and Russell Wilson. Lindley had nice size, but didn't seem to carry it as well as the top QB's. Moore might have looked like the least likely NFL prospect at just 5'11, and little tone or definition. Wilson's stock might be even below Moore's as he came in at 5'10" and looked more like a CB or RB than a QB prospect.
Running backs/Fullbacks:
-Chris Polk and Doug Martin looked the best today, both had nice size and were muscular. Both also showed very strong legs and lower halves which will benefit them at the next level.
-Cyrus Gray and Isisah Pead, were smaller than I thought they would be. Both had nice athletic frames, but I would have wanted to see them stronger in the legs. What they run in the 40 will define their draft status.
-Another that impressed me was Terrence Gannaway from Baylor. He looked like an absolute power back. Not the most defined frame, but you saw both upper body and lower body strength.
Wide Receivers:
-The wide receivers stood out for me today: 8 of the 12 receivers here are 6'1" or taller, and 7 of those 8 (with DeVier Posey being the exception) have the big frame that you like to see in red zone threats.
-The most impressive WR's to me were Jeff Fuller, Brian Quick and Marvin McNutt. All had impressive physiques and long arms. Now their speed, route running, hands and leaping ability will all be key, but they are built like some of the best in the game.
-Two that were hurt the most were Patrick Edwards from Houston and Marquze Maze from Alabama. Both with thin, short with little muscular definition. Hard to see either one even being adequate slot receivers.
-Late round guy to watch is Marvin Jones from Cal, he actually came in shorter than I expected, but had a really nice build. He also has bigger hands and longer arms than even some receivers that are bigger than him. Could be a nice late round steal.
Part 2 will have the offensive linemen, tight ends and defensive players. Also the Height and Weights will be posted later this evening. First practice starts soon so that will have to wait. Preview of tonight's post: A lot of really good looking Defensive line prospects as well as some impressive O-line guys as well.

My girlfriend and I were talking about that song last night. She thinks the polka dots are white, I think they are black. I don't believe the song says what color they are but what color do you envision when you hear that song? LOL - we must not have had much to talk about last night. I love talking about random things like this with my friends. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I always think of them as white. |
It said a "yellow" polka dot bikini, which would make the dots yellow in my opinion. |
I was thinking a yellow bikini with white polka dots. |
yellow bikini and white dots only because of watching all the Lucy reruns and her polka dot outfits ..had white dots |
Yellow polka dots. I changed my mind after thinking about it. |

yellow bikini with white polka dots..... |
One can be free to change his/her mind ... ... as long as it doesn't involve disagreeing with me ... ... (especially if s/he can marshall good arguments to buttress her/his changed mind). Heck - one should even change one's underwear (at least once a week). ole joyful |
So is it a yellow-polka-dot bikini or a yellow polka-dot bikini? I always pictured a yellow bikini with polka dots, but never thought about the color of the dots. Either white or black, I guess. It was definitely itsy-bitsy, teeny-weeny though, and the straps didn't work very well. |

I think of it as yellow dots! Maybe they are on black instead of white :) Sue |
Yellow with white polka dots. |
You are all wrong! In my minds eye, it is a yellow bikini with red polka dots. lol |
- Posted by lindaohnowga (My Page) on Sat, Oct 27, 12 at 17:44
Maybe it is yellow with purple dots. However "most" of the ones pictured on google image search show yellow with white dots. |

Bright yellow with lighter yellow dots. |
White with yellow dots. |

Yellow polka dot=yellow dots I think the bikini is white. |
I have always sung it "polka dotted bikini". Now seeing the record and title, I know that was wrong. :) |
- Posted by Marilyn_Sue (My Page) on Sat, Oct 27, 12 at 20:20
When you shop for fabric and it is labeled, it says the color of the polka dots, not the background color, so the dots are yellow. Sue |

I used to have one of those! Mine was bright yellow with black happy face dots. I was darn cute in it too! Nothing like an 8 year old pig tailed girl in a yellow happy faced bikini with ruffles on the butt! I'll have to see if I can find a picture. Elisabeth |
Hellion! Where did you find my old college days photos??? LOL! |
I always thought it was a yellow bikini with black polka dots. |
Lol @ caroline! I would not have posted without your permission had I known it was you. :ďż˝) |
It's yellow with white dots of course, and I know this for the same reason that I think I'm right about everything else. |

Tanning Beds Responsible for Thousands of New Cancer Diagnoses a Year
As many reports have previously indicated, using indoor tanning beds significantly increases the risk of non-melanoma skin cancer. In fact, a new study found tanning beds are responsible for more than 170,000 new cases of skin cancer each year in the U.S. Researchers say people who begin tanning before the age of 25 have an even higher risk of developing basal cell carcinomas, compared to those who never use tanning beds. Previous studies have already shown indoor tanning is a risk factor for malignant melanoma. The deadliest form of skin cancer.

Happy belated mothers day and I couldnt think of a better gift myself. Today has been the most active hummer day so far with several sightings and a final visit by a male at my window feeder at 9pm. Nice to see he favors my place as his nightcap stop. |
Thank you. It just made my day to see that little girl. It's easy to understand why your place would be a final nightcap stop. |
