Curt Huot from Digi-Key came down to UMM today to present the traveling trophy (which we get to have in our display case for the next year) and the check for $3K, both because one of our teams took first at this year's Digi-Key Collegiate Computing Competition.
Front, from L to R: Tyler Hutchison (holding the trophy), me (receiving the check), Curt (passing along the check). In back, L to R, Andy Korth, and Scott Lembcke. Daniel Selifonov was (and I'm not making this up!) too pumped about working on a homework assignment with his group to come down and be in the photo. These crazy students...
I obviously didn't take this shot - thanks to Michael Korth for sharing his photo.
Again, big congrats to all the students!

Have my past photos come to haunt me? I am always comparing my past to my present. Wondering if my old style was better compared to what I am doing now. Like I am looking at my own growth.
Pra mim, não tem presente mais especial do que um desenho... AMO!
Esses dois ganhei da Lika Oliveira e da Taty Ferreira já faz um tempo, mas só agora consegui mandar emoldurar para pendurar na parede! Pois agora tenho uma parede! Hahaha!

En souvenir du massacre des premiers nés en Égypte (Exode XII-13), la loi de Moïse exigeait que l'aîné fût consacré au Seigneur, ce qui advint de Jésus. Ici, la Vierge, identifiable à son manteau bleu, est agenouillée devant le grand prêtre qui tient l'enfant dans ses bras. Joseph, au premier plan, apporte deux tourterelles destinées au sacrifice pour la purification de la mère. Jean-Baptiste Jouvenet a travaillé également à de grands décors comme ceux de la chapelle royale de Versailles ou encore le plafond du parlement de Bretagne à Rennes.

Blue-eyed American actor Henry Fonda (1905-1982) exemplified not only integrity and strength, but an ideal of the common man fighting against social injustice and oppression. He is most remembered for his roles as Abe Lincoln in Young Mr. Lincoln (1939), Tom Joad in The Grapes of Wrath (1940), for which he received an Academy Award Nomination, and more recently, Norman Thayer in On Golden Pond (1981), for which he received an Oscar for Best Actor in 1982. Notably he also played against character as the villain 'Frank' in Sergio Leone's classic Spaghetti Western Once upon a time in the West (1968). Fonda is considered one of Hollywood's old-time legends and his lifelong career spanned almost 50 years.
Henry Jaynes Fonda was born in Grand Island, Nebraska in 1905. His parents were Elma Herberta (Jaynes) and William Brace Fonda, who worked in advertising and printing and was the owner of the W. B. Fonda Printing Company in Omaha, Nebraska. His distant ancestors were Italians who had fled their country around 1400 and moved to Holland, presumably because of political or religious persecution. In the early1600's, they crossed the Atlantic and were among the early Dutch settlers in America. They established a still-thriving small town in upstate New York named Fonda, named after patriarch Douw Fonda, who was later killed by Indians. In 1919, young Henry was a first-hand witness to the Omaha race riots and the brutal lynching of Will Brown. This enraged the 14 years old Fonda and he kept a keen awareness of prejudice for the rest of his life. Following graduation from high school in 1923, Henry got a part-time job in Minneapolis with the Northwestern Bell Telephone Company which allowed him at first to pursue journalistic studies at the University of Minnesota. In 1925, having returned to Omaha, Henry reevaluated his options and came to the conclusion that journalism was not his forte, after all. For a while, he tried his hand at several temporary jobs, including as a mechanic and a window dresser. At age 20, Fonda started his acting career at the Omaha Community Playhouse, when his mother's friend Dodie Brando (mother of Marlon Brando) recommended that he try out for a juvenile part in You and I, in which he was cast as Ricky. Then he received the lead in Merton of the Movies and realized the beauty of acting as a profession. It allowed him to deflect attention from his own tongue-tied personality and create stage characters relying on someone else's scripted words. The play and its star received fairly good notices in the local press. It ran for a week, and for the rest of the repertory season, Henry advanced to assistant director which enabled him to design and paint sets as well as act. A casual trip to New York, however, had already made him set his sights on Broadway. In 1926, he moved to the Cape Cod University Players, where he met his future wife Margaret Sullavan. His first professional role was in The Jest, by Sem Benelli. James Stewart joined the Players a few months after Fonda left, but he would become his closest lifelong friend. In 1928, Fonda went east to New York to be with Margaret Sullavan, and to expand his theatrical career on Broadway. His first Broadway role was a small one in A Game of Love and Death with Alice Brady and Claude Rains. Henry played leads opposite Margaret Sullavan, who became the first of his five wives in 1931. They broke up in 1933. In 1934, he got a break of sorts, when he was given the chance to present a comedy sketch with Imogene Coca in the Broadway revue New Faces. That year, he also hired Leland Hayward as his personal management agent and this was to pay off handsomely. Major Broadway roles followed, including New Faces of America and The Farmer Takes a Wife. The following year he married Frances Seymour Brokaw with whom he had two children: Jane Fonda and Peter Fonda, also to become screen stars.
The 29-year old Henry Fonda was persuaded by Leland Hayward to become a Hollywood actor, despite initial misgivings and reluctance on Henry's part. Independent producer Walter Wanger, whose growing stock company was birthed at United Artists, needed a star for The Farmer Takes a Wife (Victor Fleming, 1935) opposite Janet Gaynor. I.S. Mowis at IMDb: “With both first choice actors Gary Cooper and Joel McCrea otherwise engaged, Henry was the next available option. After all, he had just completed a successful run on Broadway in the stage version. The cheesy publicity tag line for the picture was "you'll be fonder of Fonda", but the film was an undeniable hit.” Wanger, realizing he had a good thing going, next cast Henry in a succession of A-grade pictures which capitalized on his image as the sincere, unaffected country boy. Pick of the bunch were the Technicolor outdoor Western The Trail of the Lonesome Pine (Henry Hathaway, 1936) with Sylvia Sidney, and the gritty Depression-era drama You Only Live Once (Fritz Lang, 1937) with Henry as a back-to-the-wall good guy forced into becoming a fugitive from the law by circumstance). Then followed the screwball comedy The Moon's Our Home (William A. Seiter, 1936) with ex-wife Margaret Sullavan, the excellent pre-civil war-era romantic drama Jezebel (William Wyler, 1938) featuring Bette Davis, and the Western Jesse James ( Henry King, 1939) starring Tyrone Power. Fonda rarely featured in comedy, except for a couple of good turns opposite Barbara Stanwyck and Gene Tierney - with both he shared an excellent on-screen chemistry - in The Mad Miss Manton (Leigh Jason, 1938), The Lady Eve (Preston Sturges, 1941) and the successful Rings on Her Fingers (Rouben Mamoulian, 1942). Henry gave his best screen performance to date in Young Mr. Lincoln (John Ford, 1939), a fictionalized account of the early life of the American president as a young lawyer facing his greatest court case. Henry made two more films with director John Ford: the pioneering drama Drums Along the Mohawk (1939) with Claudette Colbert, and The Grapes of Wrath (1940), an adaptation of John Steinbeck's novel about an Oklahoma family who moved west during the Dust Bowl. In his career-defining role as Tom Joad, Fonda played the archetypal grassroots American trying to stand up against oppression. His relationship with Ford would end on the set of Mister Roberts (John Ford, Mervyn LeRoy, 1955) when he objected to Ford's direction of the film. Ford punched Fonda and had to be replaced.
The Grapes of Wrath (John Ford, 1940) set the tone for Henry Fonda’s subsequent career. In this vein, he gave a totally convincing, though historically inaccurate, portrayal in the titular role of The Return of Frank James (Fritz Lang, 1940), a rare example of a sequel improving upon the original. He projected integrity and quiet authority whether he played lawman Wyatt Earp in My Darling Clementine (John Ford, 1946) or a reluctant posse member in The Ox-Bow Incident (William A. Wellman, 1943). In between these two films, Fonda enlisted in the Navy to fight in World War II, saying, and served in the Navy for three years. He then starred in The Fugitive (John Ford, 1947), and Fort Apache (John Ford, 1948), as a rigid Army colonel, along with John Wayne and Shirley Temple in her first adult role. The following years, he did not appear in many films. Fonda was one of the most active, and most vocal, liberal Democrats in Hollywood. During the 1930s, he had been a founding member of the Hollywood Democratic Committee, formed in support of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal agenda. In 1947, in the middle of the McCarthy witch hunt, he moved to New York, not returning to Hollywood until 1955. His son Peter Fonda writes in his autobiography Don't Tell Dad: A Memoir (1999) that he believes that Henry's liberalism caused him to be gray-listed during the early 1950s. Fonda returned to Broadway to play the title role in Mister Roberts for which he won the Tony Award as best dramatic actor. In 1979, he won a second special Tony, and was nominated for a Tony Award Clarence Darrow (1975). Later he played a juror committed to the ideal of total justice in 12 Angry Men (Sidney Lumet, 1957) which he also produced, and a nightclub musician wrongly accused of murder in The Wrong Man (Alfred Hitchcock, 1956). During the next decade, he played in The Longest Day (Ken Annakin, Andrew Marton a.o., 1962), How the West Was Won (John Ford, Henry Hathaway, George Marshall, 1962) and as a poker-playing grifter in the Western comedy A Big Hand for the Little Lady (Fielder Cook, 1966) with Joanne Woodward. A big hit was the family comedy Yours, Mine and Ours (Melvillle Shavelson, 1968), in which he co-starred with Lucille Ball. The same year, just to confound those who would typecast him, he gave a chilling performance as one of the coldest, meanest stone killers ever to roam the West, in Sergio Leone's Western epic C'era una volta il West/Once Upon a Time in the West (1968) opposite Charles Bronson and Claudia Cardinale. With James Stewart, he teamed up in Firecreek (Vincent McEveety, 1968), where Fonda again played the heavy, and the Western omedy The Cheyenne Social Club (Gene Kelly, 1970). Despite his old feud with John Ford, Fonda spoke glowingly of the director in Peter Bogdanovich's documentary Directed by John Ford (1971). Fonda had refused to participate until he learned that Ford had insisted on casting Fonda as the lead in the film version of Mr. Roberts (1955), reviving Fonda's film career after concentrating on the stage for years. Illness curtailed Fonda’s work in the 1970s. In 1976, Fonda returned in the World War II blockbuster Midway (Jack Smight, 1976) with Charlton Heston. Fonda finished the 1970s in a number of disaster films wilth all-star casts: the Italian killer octopus thriller Tentacoli/Tentacles (Ovidio G. Assonitis, 1977), Rollercoaster (James Goldstone, 1977) with Richard Widmark, the killer bee action film The Swarm (Irwin Allen, 1978), the global disaster film Meteor (Ronald Neame, 1979), with Sean Connery, and the Canadian production City on Fire (Alvin Rakoff, 1979), which also featured Shelley Winters and Ava Gardner. His final screen role was as an octogenarian in On Golden Pond (Mark Rydell, 1981), in which he was joined by Katharine Hepburn and his daughter Jane. It finally won him an Oscar on the heels of an earlier Honorary Academy Award. Too ill to attend the ceremony, Henry Fonda died soon after at the age of 77, having left a lasting legacy matched by few of his peers. His later wives were Susan Blanchard (1950-1956), Leonarda Franchetti (1957-1961) and Shirlee Fonda (1965- till his death in 1982). With Blanchard he had a daughter, Amy Fishman (1953). His grandchildren are the actors Bridget Fonda, Justin Fonda, Vanessa Vadim and Troy Garity.

I applaud Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall for his campaign on food waste. This book is full of interesting tips and recipes.
I was watching a programme on TV the other week and was appalled that people threw out their leftovers of Christmas dinner on Boxing day, because they didn't know what to do with it! All that good veg and meat!!

La Cité de l'Automobile, Musée national de l'automobile, Collection Schlumpf de Mulhouse est le plus grand musée d'automobiles du monde, avec 500 véhicules dont 464 automobiles de 98 marques, dont la célèbre collection de Fritz Schlumpf - la plus importante collection de Bugatti au monde avec deux des six fameuses Bugatti Royales dont la Bugatti Royale 'Coupé Napoléon' ainsi qu'une importante collection de Rolls Royce.
L'initiative de la collection revient à deux industriels du textile alsaciens du XXe siècle, les frères Schlumpf, Hans Schlumpf (1904-1989) et Fritz Schlumpf (1906-1992).
Passionnés par leur collection, ils ont investi au moment de leur splendeur une bonne partie de leur fortune, dans les années 1960, pour acheter, aux quatre coins du monde, des voitures prestigieuses et rares des débuts de l'automobile qu'ils faisaient entièrement restaurer.
Les 500 automobiles de prestige restaurées sont abritées dans des hangars industriels (décorés par 500 répliques de candélabres du Pont Alexandre-III de Paris) à trois endroits différents à Mulhouse, séparant les Rolls Royce, les Bugatti et les autres marques.
En 1977, Fritz Schlumpf est à deux doigts d'ouvrir son musée au public. Les billets, les cadeaux souvenirs sont déjà en place. Mais les deux frères sombrent dans la faillite suite à la crise du pétrole et du textile de 1976.
Le 7 mars 1977 les ouvriers licenciés économiques de l'empire textile des frères Schlumpf découvrent le stupéfiant musée en même temps que le monde entier par les médias, l'envahissent et en ouvrent l'accès au public. Le syndicat CFDT organise les visites gratuites du musée et le nomme « Musée des travailleurs ».
Jean Panhard fonde L'Association du Musée National de l'Automobile avec la ville de Mulhouse, le département du Haut-Rhin, la région Alsace, la chambre de commerce Sud Alsace, la société Panhard et l'Automobile Club de France pour sauver cet exceptionnel patrimoine national et le maintenir en Alsace. 422 modèles sur 560 de la collection sont inscrits aux Monuments Historiques. La longue procédure judiciaire impose à l'État français de payer seulement 40 millions de francs au syndic de la liquidation Schlumpf pour se porter acquéreur de la collection des Frères Schlumpf (une fraction infime de la valeur réelle de la collection).
En 1978 le Conseil d'État classe la collection monument historique puis la vend pour 44 millions de francs en 1981 à l'Association du musée national de l'automobile qui acquiert collections, terrains et bâtiments. En 1982, l'association aménage un musée dans un lieu unique à Mulhouse et l'ouvre au public. En 1989, le musée est baptisé « Musée national de l'automobile — Collection Schlumpf ».
En 2006 le musée est agrandi, restructuré, rénové et renommé Cité de l'Automobile pour un montant de 20 millions d’euros. Il rouvre ses portes le 7 juillet 2006.
500 véhicules dont 464 automobiles de 98 marques :

PALACIO DE SALDAÑA
Jose Ortega y Gasset 32
Siguiendo el proyecto del arquitecto Joaquín Saldaña, autor de numerosas edificaciones en el Madrid de la época, y del que además recibe el nombre, el inicio de las obras acontece a mediados de 1903.
El Palacio destacaba por sus airosas y elegantes fachadas que otorgaban al conjunto un indudable aire aristocrático acrecentado por la torre amansardada que lo coronaba.
Hasta 1946 el Palacio de Saldaña cambia de propietario en diferentes ocasiones, para ese año convertirse en la sede del Tribunal Tutelar de Menores. Por falta de presupuesto, se suceden años en los que el edificio es descuidado lamentablemente. La situación se agrava con el traslado de la institución.
Los años siguientes convierten al Palacio de Saldaña en una ruina que enmascara totalmente la belleza y elegancia de su hechura.
Conscientes de su inigualable ubicación y de las enormes posibilidades que el edificio ofrecía, en el año 1999, la sociedad El Palacio de Saldaña se hace cargo del mismo, acometiéndose una completa restauración del inmueble para devolverle su fastuoso aspecto original y convertirlo en el más exclusivo punto de referencia en la organización de actos y eventos sociales, culturales, o empresariales de la capital. A lo largo de ese mismo año se realizan las correspondientes reformas exteriores, actuando sobre las fachadas en diversos trabajos de restauración y consolidación. Pronto, para satisfacción de vecinos y viandantes, el Palacio de Saldaña recupera su esplendor y se pasa a rehabilitar el interior. Durante el año 2000 se desarrollan estas obras. El objetivo es dotar al edificio de las más modernas infraestucturas tecnológicas respetando al máximo el encanto original de las diferentes estancias. Se consiguen así amplios espacios, muy luminosos, versátiles y confortables. Se reforman el sótano y el ático configurando nuevas salas multiusos y se instala en todo el edificio el más sofisticado equipamiento en telecomunicaciones.
Concluidas las obras en febrero de 2001, en estos últimos meses numerosas empresas de reconocido prestigio han elegido el Palacio de Saldaña para sus presentaciones de productos, meetings empresariales, o actos de relaciones públicas, devolviendo este hermoso edificio a la primera página de la vida social madrileña. El alto nivel de satisfacción demostrado por los responsables de estas empresas ha situado ya a El Palacio de Saldaña como obligada referencia dentro de los más selectos espacios dedicados a la organización de eventos y reuniones de empresa.
El primer acto oficial que se celebró en esta nueva etapa de El Palacio de Saldaña fue la inauguración de la exposición de pintura de Emilia Sánchez Ibargüen a principios del mes de marzo y en el marco del denominado Espacio de Arte, una iniciativa que pretende dar a conocer la obra y las inquietudes artísticas de creadores de todas las tendencias y estilos.

My husband gave me a Moleskine Colour a Month Planner for Solstice and I am *so* excited to use it next year.
I mostly use Google Calendar for my calendaring, but for to-do lists and general mind-clearing there's just something more real about writing it down on actual paper. And I love that I can just carry a tiny notebook for each month. And of course, the rainbow colors!
Maybe I can make this a tradition :)
