TimeWave 2014 - 2015
TimeWave 2014-2015 gathers creative media artists and technologists to explore the use of technology in storytelling and to invent new forms of media and entertainment.
On July 10-12, 2015, LoNyLa/TimeWave partners with NYVR, NYC Media Lab and Littlstar to conduct a VR (virtual reality) hackathon. Hosted by Interactive Telecommunications Program (ITP), NYU, the VR hackathon will take place at the NYU Tisch building at 721 Broadway. Sponsors include: EEVO, Fake Love, Leap Motion, Littlstar, Oculus, Unity 3D and VISR. The event will gather creative media artists, designers and developers to implement rapid prototypes of diverse VR formats - experiences, storytelling, applications and games.
In late autumn 2015, we aim to launch the next incarnation of the TimeWave festival. Given the evolution of technology in the media and entertainment space, LoNyLa/TimeWave is brainstorming the concept of an interactive playground. We envision the formats developed in the lab and VR hackathon to take yet another leap and become polished work for audiences. TimeWave 2015 details - dates, location and format - will be announced.
The programme is produced by LoNyLa (London-NY-LA), a transatlantic initiative fueled by graduates of Yale University and the Yale School of Drama and a powerhouse Anglo-American team.
See highlights of the June 2013 TimeWave festival - an international theatre & technology event which gathered 40 actors, 18 writers, 17 directors and multimedia artists and streamed in new work from London, New York, Los Angeles, Singapore, Madrid and Montreal. Our supporters included Walt Disney Imagineering, Hathersage Capital Management, Arts Council England, Telestream and Vidyo.

What You Can Expect
Start with a visit to a delicatessen that specializes in foraging and selling truffles, one of the region's highly prized natural ingredients. Sip on a glass of zesty crisp prosecco (the Italian's answer to Champagne) and soak up the bubbles with a panino tartufato – a delicate pâté sandwich seasoned to perfection with slivers of the gourmet fungi.
Stroll to an artisan chocolate shop nearby and treat your sweet tooth to a chocolate-tasting session. Savor silky-soft nuggets of the sweet treat, noting the rich flavors present in high-quality chocolate, and then head out of the shop to visit an olive oil boutique.
Popular with locals and visitors alike, the high-end shop specializes in the sale of quality Tuscan olive oils and balsamic vinegars. Sit down for a tasting with the shop's charming owner and learn about the different varieties of fruity and piquant oils on offer.
Take a wander along the pretty cobblestone alleyways that make up the backstreets of the city, and stop for a gelato from a locally loved gelateria before winding up inside a wine bar. Sip on a glass of Chianti – one of Tuscany's typically robust and tannic reds – and nibble on chunks of warm focaccia bread to finish your foodie adventure.

Awesome tour with our guide Luca who's love of his city shines through his commentary and chat.
A great way of seeing some of Florence's history and place in the world through its food and wines.
Covers a lots of ground but not in kms and certainly has the variety to satisfy all tastes.Especially loved our time at Alimentari Uffizi with Alessandro, a true artist . Highly recommend this tour.

"Hello Paloma Oceana team! As we are currently thinking about booking our vacation at your house we would ask you to kindly answer the following question which is quite important for us: with 2 adults and one 5-year old how would Bedding be provided in the double rooms? Are there usually king or queen size beds? Our son is not happy with sleeping alone so he would usually sleep with us which is why we need to make sure the beds are big enough. Thank you very much for a response! Best regards, Schirin
ich werde MItte April in Ihr Hotel reisen und würde gerne wissen, welche Teile des Hotels zu diesem Zeitpunkt noch geschlossen sind.
Vielen Dank im Voraus für eine Antwort.
Viele Grüße
Guten Tag
Wir würden gerne Familien Zimmer Bungalow buchen. In diversen Bewertungen zu dem Hotel haben wir gelesen das der Toiletten bereich nur durch halbhohe und dünne Glastüre vom Zimmer getrennt ist.
Ist dem so?
Mit freundlichen Grüssen
Peter Müller
We are considering a vacation for this summer at your hotel. Please do let us know the following:
1. What specifically does all-inclusive means in terms of eating? We are particularly interested in fresh local fruits and vegetables and the possibility to serve a fresh, vegetarian lunch to our little children.
2. Where do you buy your fruits and vegetables?
3. Which are the most "silent" family suites: Mainbuilding Seaview, Mainbuilding without seaview, Gardenbuilding?
4. Is water included?
Much appreciate your responses.

- My Recent Blog Comments
Laura, this is a very thoughtful, gracious exploration of the choice of Caitlyn. I appreciate particularly seeing something in the name blogosphere that didn't skewer her decision to select a name that doesn't match those from her birth generation. As you rightly point out, this isn't the same as a parent naming a new baby in 1949. It's an adult selecting a name for herself that reflects who she truly is. I'd guess many of us, given the chance to rename ourselves, wouldn't select another name popular in the year of our birth.2
Congratulations, Madison and Caitlin! I'm amazed at people who can do this. I love names, but I can't track the trends to the names.
Interesting that Madison lists Beth as a favorite. My daughter (13) also likes Beth. :)3
Love that you hit on Jacion even as you weren't trying to get there! That's the beauty of the name analysis you do.4
@PJ, I've known two Theas as well. One said THEE-ah, the other TEE-ah.5
Lturtle, I thought the same thing!
I agree with you, Miriam, the guest authors aren't always up to Laura's standards. It's too bad.6
Yay! This was my second choice. I think it's a great NOTY, Laura!7
In light of the listed criteria
- A dramatic change in the name's usage or social meaning
- A reflection of a broader cultural theme, or influence on broader style trends
- The "naminess" of a story or issue. How essential is the name to the story?
I cast my vote for ISIS. I agree with others who voiced a hesitation (or even unwillingness) to vote for this name. However, with the exception of perhaps the second point, it nails the criteria. It certainly represents a dramatic change in the usage or social meaning and the name is absolutely essential to the story, including the variety of names used.
I also like the suggestion of Adele Dazeem as that says a lot about our understanding of names (certainly it was a dramatic change in a name's social meaning and the name was the entire story). Apparently immediately following Travolta's mistake, the Playbills for If/Then were changed to say "the role of Elizabeth being played by Adele Dazeem." :)
I understand the popularity of Frozen and Elsa, but I don't see a dramatic change in usage or social meaning (popularity may go up, but that will be next year and beyond). It hits the second point, but I think the name does that on its own without the movie and while I agree Elsa is on-trend in a way Gerda is not, they could have chosen a number of names that would have worked in the context of the story.
Wyatt and Messiah are interesting choices, but the discussion around the use of those names doesn't feel particularly 2014 to me. Rather, it's a discussion that we circle back to periodically.
As for Ferguson, I don't think the name itself had any bearing on the story. It would have been a story regardless of the town's name. I give Rosetta, Philae, Putin, Crimea, and Sochi the same assessment.8
As with the girls' list, I like a lot of these! Albert, Arthur, Frederick, Archie, Jamie, Felix, Hugo, and Stanley are all great!9
I like so many of these - Beatrice, Edith, Florence, Harriet, Imogen, Lois, Betsy, and Freya. Clearly I live in the wrong part of the world!10
Congratulations, Laura! Here's to at least 10 more years!11
I like Wilfred too!
We opted for the mn route, not because the name wasn't one we liked, but because we wanted the fn to be unique to our daughter while the mn connected her to her family. My husband and I both have family mns so we continued that tradition.
My father, brother, and nephew all share initials, which I think is nice.12
What great news! Congratulations! I'm excited to see what the future holds for BNW.13
I briefly considered Matilda for a girl, but I was put off by all the other Maddies running around. A Matilda would disappear in the sea of Madeleines, Madisons, and other Mad- names.14
I have a nephew Calob. That's a respelling I've never seen on anyone else, but given the lists above for Christopher and Stephanie, I suspect he's not as alone as I might have thought!15
I'm absolutely biased, but Amy (just Amy, spelled like this) is an awesome name. It will suit your daughter as a youngster and as an adult. It's rarely misheard and mostly correctly spelled. Plus, she won't be one of many Amys as I was (born in the late 60s), which is a bonus.16
Fascinating! I love this kind of analysis! I wish you'd do more years from other decades.17
The idea of having a stage persona and an individual ('real') persona with different names for each is one I like. I do think it could help keep a performer, maybe especially a young one, more grounded. (And with a 12-year-old in the house, we love Lorde!)18
I was originally skeptical of the nomination of Francis. However, after reading the compelling arguments in favor of it and particularly those that address how it fits the criteria, I'm casting another vote for it.19
Congratulations, Chimu, and a very warm welcome to Soren Augustus! I admire you for taking your time to really consider your favorites once he'd arrived. I know I could never have been so patient. Soren is a fantastic match with Astrid - a strong, uncommon name. Enjoy your wee one and best wishes to your Astrid now that she's a big sister!
(On an only somewhat related note, we went apple picking last weekend and there was another Astrid there. She was probably 3 or 4. That's only the second time we've met another kid with the name in 12 years.)20
Lucubratrix, Th0masina is a great name and I love that your family is already test driving lots of the available nicknames. It's fun to have a name that lends itself to that, especially because it lets everyone have a special connection to the new baby.
Chimu, I can't wait to hear what name you choose.
Enjoy your new wee ones, ladies!

"I had an excellent experience ordering my daughters Bridal Shower invitations from Wedding Paper Divas. Proofs were promptly corrected, no matter how many times it needed to be done. Quality of the paper is excellent, along with clarity of the text. Delivery was on time, there was no stress. I am thrilled with them the elegant design,. I would definitely recommend the company to my friends, and I will order from them again."
"This Shower invitation was simply beatiful!! Everyone that has received it is raving about how beautiful it is. Great colors, paper and image!! Thank you for delivering a great product!"
"LIttle hard to review the card on line, but when I got it, it was as good as I had hoped. The foil stamping made it look very elegant."
"I am very pleased with this lovely card. It is very professional looking and elegant. The quality of the print and the card stock are outstanding. I was pleased with the color options for the front and the back of the card."
"I love the way these invitations turned out. I ordered mine with square corners and I think they look better that way. I would recommend upgrading to glossy paper, the flat looks a bit dull, however they are still beautiful. I loved that all my registry information fit on this invitation, I had difficulty with others trying to get all the words to fit. I also loved that it looks just like my dress!"

Jackie Ray Holton Recounts Supernatural Stories in MY HAUNTED LAND
Alma, Ga.
Ghost stories are often told for entertainment purposes. People seem to enjoy the flood of adrenaline that comes with the shock and fear of the supernatural. But what if those stories were true? In his new book, "My Haunted Land" (published by iUniverse), Jackie Ray Holton shares 39 years' worth of unexplained paranormal activities experienced by himself and his family.
All of the accounts told of in "My Haunted Land" occurred on Holton's three acres of land in southeast Georgia - land he still occupies today. Holton's story begins the day he moved onto the land with his family through his children's upbringing and right on into the present day.
A skeptic himself, it took Holton many years of witnessing the frightening accounts mentioned in his book to come to terms with reality. Today, Holton admits the events he recollects in his book are true and accurate.
"Readers need to understand that these types of things really do occur," Holton says. "These are not made up stories. These are true and still happening to this day."

Na drie dagen toeren langs de kust van New England hebben we donderdag onze volgende grote stop bereikt: Boston, Massachusetts, "the biggest of small cities".

This book, written to meet the need of students of pharmacognosy, departs, in many particulars, from the works heretofore published in this country. Special emphasis is laid on the microscopic characteristics of blood, though their macroscopic appearance is by no means neglected. Considerable attention is given to drug powders and the chemistry of the various drugs mentioned is touched on. As an introduction to pharmacognosy the book is of practical value, and while written for the student it will be found helpful to the physician who desires to have a good understanding of his materia medica.

But it is not a PC, it is a console. It should be looked at as such because you develop differently when it is a console.

The game does not need to be nearly as complex.

Guest Post: Is Seattle truly a good place to build new startups?
Josh Maher: I recently spoke with Laura Rich from Fast Company who is working on a piece about what makes startup ecosystems special.
We talked a lot about the changing startup environment in Seattle: How it has grown over the last decade. How Microsoft's presence has impacted the area. And how our highly-rated university -- The University of Washington -- has played different roles over time.
The chat got me thinking about the Seattle startup ecosystem as a whole. And I specifically got to wondering: Is our ecosystem any good? Do we really have the secret ooze that allows startups to thrive?
Our community is growing. And over the last two or three years it has really experienced a transformation.
Sure there have been tech startups here for ages. But, in the last decade or so, the majority of those companies have been built to serve Microsoft. Or they emerged during the last tech startup bubble.
Venture capitalist Fred Wilson has talked about the startup culture of New York City, referencing the people (immigrants, investment focused, creative), the visibility (Yes, it is New York), and the history of entrepreneurship (again, it is New York).
In Seattle, some of those themes hold true as well.
We've always been the final frontier for East Coasters, the Pacific Rim and Canada. We've always had a healthy share of innovative people eager to build something great.
In recent years the sheer number and types of people pursuing entrepreneurial dreams has changed.
For example, the people coming out of Microsoft, the UW, and Amazon are finally being accepted with open arms by both the local startups and the investment community. Five years ago, not many would think of leaving their job at Microsoft to try out a new idea.
They knew they would be stuck on their own, not embraced by the community. There was a social norm that restricted the transition from evil empire to startuper. (Well, that and the idea of no free soda was a bit of a problem).
But, today, the stigmatism of Microsoft employees being evil is not as great as it used to be.
The number of large tech firms where a young student can be trained in the art and science of profitable software making has grown with firms like Google, Amazon, HTC, T-Mobile, Adobe, RealNetworks, F5, etc. All of these places are providing a place to learn the tech business, get good with a specific technology, meet some potential co-founders and go build something new.
All of these changes are being amplified by a new group of show-and-tell venues throughout the city.
Seattle Tech Startups, with its Alcoholics Anonymous approach to helping each other, is unique to the Seattle ecosystem. And our liberal and friendly atmosphere has extended itself into the tech scene, with entrepreneurs willing to help others out because we all know how hard it can be.
In recent years, we've also seen a number of regular in-person networking events like Seattle Lunch 2.0 (which I organize), nPost, Open Coffee, GreenDrinks, Hops & Chops and StartupDrinks. With one those events occurring almost daily, the opportunity to network with other entrepreneurs is much better than it was in the past.
Add to that the larger events like Seattle 2.0's StartupDay, StartupWeekend, MindCamp, and all the other various "camps" and it becomes far easier to meet like-minded people to work on a new business opportunity or side project.
There's been another big change in addition to the acceptance of Microsofties and fun show-and-tell events. We've seen a proliferation of naval gazers to report on all of these activities, which means it is much easier for anyone to hear about startups, funding events, innovations, shut downs, etc.
Not only do the likes of TechFlash, Pomp & Surkanstance and Seattle 2.0 give Seattle a much broader platform where we can watch each other, they are providing a place where the world can have a peek at us as well.
Of course, the venture capital types will talk about how the growth of the startup community is measured by funding events. And VC deal flow is a barometer to the health of any startup community.
However, funding events don't make an ecosystem tick. They are contributors -- but not the only contributor in my mind. The community itself -- coupled with the ability to find smart people to work with -- is of far greater importance.
Plentiful funding makes things happen faster, but plentiful funding is not what actually makes things happen.
If you have a crappy team and a lot of money, you can build a lot of crappy products for a long time. If you have a rock star team and a little bit of money, you can build a small rock star product in a short amount of time.
As the discussion about startup ecosystems gets started around the country, I'd be curious what everyone else thinks.
Do we have a good startup ecosystem? If so, what makes it good?

Survey from students: No guns on campus
Eight out of 10 college students in Virginia are against allowing guns on campus, according to a statewide survey conducted by the advocacy group Virginia 21. The organization, which represents young adults in Virginia, has been surveying college and university students about hot-button issues that may crop up during this year's legislative session.
One such issue: whether guns should be permitted on campus. Some Second Amendment advocates say armed students could protect themselves against school shootings like the massacre at Virginia Tech in 2007.
Nearly 8,000 students took the Virginia 21 survey, and 83 percent of them said they do not want guns on school property, especially in dormitories. Seven percent of the respondents were unsure about the issue; the others supported the idea of letting guns on campus.
Tom Kramer, executive director for Virginia 21, said students' main concern is dorm rooms.
"We don't want guns in our dorm rooms. That's one of the things we are most worried about. Could you imagine your roommate having a gun and you not knowing about it?" Kramer said.
"Freshmen don't even get to pick who they room with. Do they have a right to know that? That is what really bothers us about a gun bill."
At this point, no bills have been proposed in the 2013 General Assembly to allow guns on school property. However, such a proposal was filed last year.
Kramer wants to make sure the measure doesn't come up again. "If there is one, we are going to basically call all of our chapters up to kill the bill," he said.
According to other preliminary results of the Virginia 21 survey:
• 60 percent of students say they are unaware what their student loan payments will be upon graduation.
• 40 percent of students did not know about career center services on their college campus.
Virginia 21 will announce the complete results of its survey, including responses to topics involving tuition and textbooks, at the group's Lobby Day on Jan. 29.
Students and other young voters from across the state will attend the event to urge legislators to hold down tuition while maintaining the quality of education. The group expects 80-100 supporters.

Stewart added a post in a topic Windows 8 "Copenhagen"
I don't think it's fair to say 7 is Vista upgraded/bugs fixed.
It feels and performs much much better than Vista, so technically it might just be an upgraded Vista but it feels a whole lot better than that. :thumbsup:
To me, 7 is as good as XP, give it some time and a service pack or two and it will be better IMO :)
Stewart added a post in a topic Windows 7I installed Windows 7 on my main machine a month or so ago, very impressed. :thumbsup:
I'll definitely be recommending it to anyone using Vista.

Pleasing AU53 1850-O Ten Dollar1850-O $10 AU53 NGC. The current offering is another condition rarity in the Liberty No Motto eagle series. The combined NGC and PCGS population data documents four examples at the Mint State level, although Doug Winter opines that the Eliasberg coin is the only Uncirculated 1850-O ten in existence--the other three coins are listed in the NGC Census Report as MS60 specimens. The reality is that most collectors, regardless of finances, must gladly accept a lightly circulated example for inclusion in their sets. It is not a matter of waiting, but rather a factor of availability; only a few Mint State pieces have weathered the relentless perils of time. We proudly offer this example, which retains a significant amount of reflectivity in the fields on each side. The surfaces are lightly abraded and there are a number of small abrasions peppered over both the obverse and reverse.
