Kathleen Irvine, Ph.D.
Core Faculty
Vancouver Campus
My areas of specialization are ethics, spirituality, diversity, eating disorders, counsellor education, couples counselling, and sexuality.
As a teacher, I believe that students entering the field of counselling need to develop excellent communication skills as well as a critical understanding of research. They need to have respect and understanding for the unique experience of all people. And they also need to be willing to examine themselves. Taking risks is a critical element in all of my courses. So as a teacher, I must create an environment where students feel safe to engage critically and respectfully with each other, with course material, and with themselves.
I was drawn to Adler by the institution's commitment to social justice. The approach to social justice and the central role it plays in the mission and curriculum are integral to training competent counsellors.

Hartacon is an online RPG game developed with XNA that allows players to challenge each other in online battles. Battles take place in 2D isometric maps with 4-angles view and zoom.
A player can create one or more parties of characters of different classes, each with peculiar stats, skills and weapons. By winning battles, parties gain Upgrade Points (UPs), used to recruit new characters and buy equipments, while individual characters gain Growth Points (GPs), used to learn new skills and increase stats.
The battle system is tactical, turn-based, and features traditional RPG elements such as elements and altered states. Players can play against each other or team up in alliances.
I have already released a version of this game for RPG Maker XP, now I am working on the XNA version, aiming to release it for the XBOX. The following video will give you an idea of what has already been done.
The game has been successfully tested between multiple computers (system link), and on the XBOX. Right now, my biggest concern is resources and I will soon add informations about what help I need.

Posted February 16, 2006; 10:35 p.m.
Three talks on the topic of "God and War" will be presented as part
of the Stafford Little Lectures Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, Feb.
Mark Juergensmeyer, director of global and international studies and professor of sociology and religious studies at the University of California-Santa Barbara, will speak at 8 each evening in McCosh 50.
He will address these questions: What purpose does the concept of war serve in times of social chaos and uncertainty? What is the relationship between violence and religion? How can the global terror war be contained?
Juergensmeyer is the author of several books, including "Terror in the Mind of God: The Global Rise of Religious Violence," which the Washington Post and Los Angeles Times identified as one of the best nonfiction books of 2003. He has interviewed numerous religious extremists, including the individuals convicted of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, Hamas leaders and abortion clinic bombers. He also has been a frequent commentator in the news media on the subject of religious violence.
The talks are sponsored by the University Public Lecture Series and Princeton University Press.

August Constellations
As darkness falls in August, the Summer Triangle, made up of three bright stars from three different constellations, is the first shape visible in the celestial sphere. Full darkness brings the full glory of the Milky Way, arching across the sky from the south to the northeast, passing right behind the Summer Triangle due overhead. Scan its glowing star clouds with binoculars or a telescope to see star clusters and nebulas by the dozens.
The Big Dipper, an asterism, or star shape, within the constellation Ursa Major, the Great Bear, is hanging low in the northwestern quadrant of the sky, its cup upright to hold water, as the saying goes. The arc of its handle points to Arcturus, the big orange alpha (or brightest) star in the constellation Bootes, the Herdsman. Vega, the constellation Lyra's bright blue-white alpha star, is now almost directly overhead. It marks one corner of the Summer Triangle. High in the northeastern part of the sky is another corner, Deneb, the alpha star in Cygnus, the Swan. Deneb marks the swan's tail; locate the head and wings and you will see why this constellation is sometimes called the Northern Cross.
Below Cygnus is the huge Great Square of Pegasus, the Winged Horse. Running from the lower left corner of the Great Square are two lines of stars forming Andromeda, the Princess. On a very dark, clear night you might be able to make out a fuzzy patch of light above the middle of these lines; this is the Great Andromeda Galaxy, the most distant object the eye (unaided by binoculars or a telescope) can see. Just rising low in the northeast are the stars of Perseus, the Hero, who in legend rescued Andromeda from Cetus, the Sea Monster.
Altair, the alpha star in the constellation Aquila, the Eagle, is midway up in the southeastern portion of the sky. It marks the third corner of the Summer Triangle. Below Aquila are the faint stars making up the roughly triangular Capricornus, the Sea Goat. Above these stars are farther to the left, toward the east, are the stars of Aquarius, the Waterbearer.
The intriguing constellation Scorpius, the Scorpion, and its bright red alpha star, Antares, are low in the southwest. If the sky is really dark, now is a good time to find the huge figure of Ophiuchus, the Serpent Bearer, and the two parts of Serpens, the Serpent, that entwine it. These faint stars occupy a large part of the southwestern sky above Scorpius. Above and to the right of Ophiuchus is Hercules, the Strongman. Right above the southern horizon is Sagittarius, the Archer, now as high as it ever gets in northern latitudes. Like Scorpius, this is a wonderful constellation to study with binoculars or a telescope. Both lie in the direction of the center of our galaxy, and the star clouds and nebulas are thickest here. Be sure to trace the Teapot asterism in the stars of Sagittarius.

Medical Oncologist
Chief, Genitourinary Oncology Service; D. Wayne Calloway Chair in Urologic Oncology
Conditions Treated:
About Me
I am Chief of the Genitourinary Oncology Service at the Sidney Kimmel Center for Urologic and Prostate Cancers at Memorial Sloan Kettering and a board-certified medical oncologist with special expertise in treating men with advanced prostate cancer. Under my leadership, the Genitourinary Oncology Service program is dedicated to the treatment of prostate cancer, testicular cancer, bladder and upper-tract urothelial cancer, and kidney cancer. Our objective is to foster synergy between scientific research and clinical practice, and to ensure that promising scientific discoveries are used to develop new diagnostic tests and treatments for patients.
My own research is focused on three critical areas: developing treatments that target specific signaling pathways that contribute to prostate cancer growth, developing non-invasive methods to determine whether these agents are working, and improving the way drugs are evaluated in the clinic.
Targeted therapies, which attack specific cancer cells without harming normal cells, have the potential to treat cancers with fewer side effects than conventional therapies. Critical to the development of this approach, is to determine which treatment is most likely to be benefit an individual patient. Currently, prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is the best routinely available biomarker providing diagnostic and prognostic information about prostate cancer. PSA testing is useful, but does not reliably determine whether or not a treatment is working, nor does not provide definitive guidance in selecting one therapy over another. My colleagues and I are evaluating promising new technologies to capture and characterize circulating tumor cells from a routine blood draw. We are finding that the number of circulating tumor cells in a patient's blood helps determine a patient's prognosis and whether or not a treatment is working. Circulating tumor cells are also providing a biological snapshot of an individual patient's tumor, which may help determine the choice of therapy.
As a member of the Prostate Cancer Clinical Trials Working Group, I led an international effort to standardize development of the design, conduct, and analysis of phase 2 clinical trials in prostate cancer, so we can better evaluate new therapeutics and assess their effectiveness using novel imaging modalities. The recommendations were incorporated and contributed to the successful development of zytiga (now approved) and enzalutamide (under review by the FDA). Both of these agents target androgen receptor signaling and were shown to prolong the survival of men with castration-resistant disease. I also developed the Clinical States Model of Prostate Cancer Progression, which, in categorizing the clinical spectrum of prostate cancer from diagnosis to metastasis, provides a framework to access and reassess a patient's prognosis as the disease evolves over time and to guide management of the disease.
I am also the principal investigator of the Memorial Sloan Kettering Prostate Cancer SPORE (Specialized Program on Research Excellence) sponsored by the National Cancer Institute and Principal Investigator of the Prostate Cancer Clinical Trials Consortium, a 13-center research collaborative headquartered at Memorial Sloan Kettering and funded by the Department of Defense and the Prostate Cancer Foundation. A critical part of this effort is to design and conduct clinical trials of promising new approaches so that they are available to patients as soon as possible. Since 2006, the consortium has facilitated more than 120 new early-phase studies related to prostate cancer. Ultimately, through these clinical trials, we seek to develop more-effective treatments for prostate cancers of all stages and to discover means of prevention.
In addition to serving as Chief of the Genitourinary Oncology Service for the past 16 years, I am the incumbent of the D. Wayne Calloway Chair in Urologic Oncology and a Professor of Medicine at the Weill Cornell Medical College. I am a recipient of the Donald S. Coffey-Prostate Cancer Foundation Physician-Scientist Award, and the Distinguished Alumnus Award. I also serve on numerous editorial and scientific advisory boards and am a reviewer for many journals, including The New England Journal of Medicine, Nature, Science and Translational Medicine, Lancet Oncology, and the Journal of Clinical Oncology. I have written extensively and published over 430 peer-reviewed articles in scientific journals and coauthored the textbook Principals and Practice of Genitourinary Oncology.

FSMA Changes Pest Control for Food Manufacturers
The Food Safety Modernization Act and Global Food Safety Initiative audits make processors rethink their pest management programs.
Pest management programs in the food and beverage processing industry are increasingly influenced by food safety audits and government regulations. Between the two-year-old FDA Food Safety Modernization Act and third-party audits that comply with the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI), there are more rules and more prescribed steps to follow. And a lot more record-keeping.
Just this January, FDA expanded the requirement for hazards and analysis and critical control points (HACCP) programs to food processors that previously were not impacted by the requirement. In the agency's January 16 addition to the Federal Register, problems with both pests and pesticides are called out as contributors to food safety incidents in the recent past.
Pest control has always been a part, although largely implied, in federal food safety requirements, at least since the 1938 Federal Food, Drug & Cosmetic Act, says Zia Siddiqi, director of quality systems for Orkin LLC, Atlanta. "But now the FDA has become more specific about how pest infestation is a part of food contamination. And now the FDA has more resources and its own power to shut down plants," he says. As the agency extends the HACCP requirement, "pest control clearly should be a part of your HACCP program," he says.
In another read of the January expansion of FSMA, "Pest management in the future will pay heightened attention to product transport vehicles, loading dock and non-food storage areas, facility maintenance deficiencies that create pest and microbial harborages and utilization of pest-sighting logs as part of pest management trend analysis," says Jerry Heath, product manager and staff entomologist for Industrial Fumigant Co., Lenexa, Kan.
Rodent management is one of those areas that has seen some significant changes. Rodent bait packaging, distribution and labels were revised in the past two years in response to concern for exposures to children and non-target animals.
"Mitigation of non-target animal exposure had the most impact on the food processing industry," Heath continues. "Label revisions in 2011 limited most outdoor rodenticide placements to within 50 ft. of buildings. A number of shortcomings were identified in EPA's directive and, in remarkably fast action, the labeling directive was revised to within 100 ft. of broadly defined structures. Rodenticides with this new labeling were on the market by late 2012.
"Old-fashioned fence line baiting is prohibited unless within 100 ft., but the current labels have sufficient flexibility to allow rodenticide protection for the diverse kinds of facilities and outdoor storages food processors utilize," he continues.
GFSI-recognized programs are another huge motivator for better pest management programs. "In some ways, GFSI will have more impact on pest control than FSMA," says Siddiqi. While FSMA considers pest control a general recommendation of a HACCP program, "All the GFSI-recognized programs have very specific requirements for pest control," he says.
One change, thanks to most programs certified by GFSI, is the placement and spacing of rodent devices. Most pest management programs in the past followed a formula, placing them every so many feet, but most popular audit standards compliant with GFSI now allow for more flexible device placements based on known threats, ongoing inspection and history of activity.
"There have been examples where numbers of rodent control devices have been dramatically reduced, and pest management service has evolved to a more general inspection routine," says Heath.
But many facilities in the food & beverage industry are still governed by audit standards requiring a formula-based device placement scheme — or the plants lack trending data to support a reduction in device numbers. So it's best to check with your auditors for what is allowed. Also, many facilities are just more comfortable with a conservative program.
Correct and efficient identification is the first step to solving any pest challenge. Today, pest control experts are turning more and more to digital technology, specifically digital microscopes and digital photos as a reliable means for pest identification, says Patricia Hottel, technical director of McCloud Services, Hoffman Estates, Ill.
"Digital technology such as these allow entomologists, field personnel and plant managers the ability to work together to quickly and accurately identify pests of concern without sacrificing employee, product and facility safety," she says.
Also inside the plant, for widespread pest control processors should consider the debate between fumigation and fogging. Both approaches have their proponents. Neither leaves any residual chemical on surfaces, which in most cases is a benefit but does not provide long-term killing power.
Fumigation probably is a more effective method, but it requires a shut down of whatever work area is being fumigated. Fumigation penetrates all cracks and crevices and provides a high degree of certainty that every bug in the room is dead. But it also penetrates packaging and machines. Fumigation also has been dealt some setbacks by the EPA, which de-listed methyl bromide, probably the most popular fumigant. Other effective chemicals also have been removed.
For fogging, chemicals are sprayed in controlled areas. There is less penetration. The chemicals provide a quick kill, but dissipate more rapidly than fumigation, so downtime is greatly reduced. Sequential fogging treatments can eliminate or reduce the frequency of fumigations.
Heath notes that fogging can be done by pest control personnel or by a fixed fogging system.

Life + Studies
I had been sick starting a week ago, but now I'm OK. Meanwhile I missed the Statistics Monday, so I had a gap of several lessons which I did not learn, and could not hand in the three assignments. I E-mailed the T.A. asking when to hand them, and she told me to hand them on Wednesday. (which came right before my Thermodynamics lecture).
On Wednesday I felt better, and took a ride to the Technion. I found her room and waited for her there a long time, but the door was closed and she was nowhere to be seen. I came to the room two other times throughout the day, but she wasn't there then, either.
She eventually E-mailed me that she had an urgent meeting and could not come to her reception hours that day, and so I should hand in my assignment at the class on Monday (two days from now). I also need to hand in another assignment then, but I don't know how to solve one of the questions because it covers material that I did not learn yet. Whatever, I solved the other question.
At Wednesday I also photo-copied the Thermo lecture that took place at the hall without proper tables to write on, so I won't need to go through understanding my bad writing being even worse.
The Eternal Jew
I might as well tell that the philosophical essay I worked on is The Eternal Jew. It is complete now, and I sent it to several people for review, but none have responded yet. If you wish, you can read it and comment.
I added a lot of tests to it, and fixed another bug (while writing a test to it, first). Ben promised he will release a new version of CPAN based on what we have in the repository now, when he finds some spare cycles. (he is very busy in work, now) We'll probably continue covering more and more of the functionality in tests, and when the tests coverage is reasonable, we'll start adding more features.
We've talked with instant messaging about some stuff, including error handling, and adding common controls (like country-list, U.S. states' list) to be auto-generated, as well as creating a function inside _setFields to set one field.
Review of Perl & XML
I finished reading Perl & XML and wrote a review of it. This means I now wrote the 10 last book reviews of the Israeli Perl mongers.
Quad-Pres Logo
I've been working on a logo for Quad-Pres using the GIMP. I started by constructing a wireframe text saying "Quad-Pres". I finished the Q and the u by now, but they are not perfect. Maybe I just need to look harder for a suitable font. I think I'll install "Print Shop Ensemble III" as it comes with plenty of fonts.
GIMP Bug Squashing
I spent some time tracing and fixing some bugs that had to do with the GIMP Image Info Window. You can find the patches and discussion in Bug #118084 and Bug #132329.
Despite the fact that my SpamAssassin installation is up-to-date, a lot of Spam on Vipe still slipped through. So I decided to enable its Bayesian filtering. I invoked "sa-learn" with my ham and gradually had more and more spam to put there. Now it seems to be working better and better.
I don't have a spam filter on my home E-mail, but I may eventually. To prepare for this, I started collecting all my spam, so I'll later can input it into the Bayesian filtering. I wonder if SpamAssassin can easily work with kmail, because it's very nice.
Otherwise I discovered my ISP's SMTP server is on the black-lists of several other SMTP servers. I still don't know if it's really an open relay or not.
MySQL Client Library
The MySQL client library for versions 3.x of the product was LGPLed, and for versions 4.x it is GPLed, which does not allow proprietary applications to link against it, without purchasing a license. So, I decided to compare them to see how different they are and if the old one could be forward-ported to the other.
It turns out to be a 2,764-lines patch, that most of it are whitespace-changes, and can easily be manually applied to the older source, in a few days of work. Generally, I disapprove of using the GPL in hope of getting more revenue this way when LGPLed original is available, and the library does not have something substantial to offer. So I think I'll forward-port the MySQL library.

Great Helmet. Looks better than I expected. Pretty comfy too.
Great looking helmet.
Very good intro helmet. Comes with bells and whistles like the higher end models. It fits snug at first and then conforms after use and fits perfectly. And SNELL approved, if you need it.
Too noisy and wind buffeting over 70 is awful.
This is great helmet for the price. Fit is right on the money. Helmets costing twice as much don't have all the features on them that this one does. Large "D" ring for chin strap makes it easy to thread the ends through and adjust. I have very large fingers and have always had a problem with this part of most helmets I have. But this one is very very easy to use.
A little tight but will provide the best protection. Happy with the design and look of the helmet. Looking forward to Spring and getting back on my bike!

The myth of maximizing shareholder value
In a well-intentioned op-ed in The Washington Post, Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales recently extolled his new phone venture, which has pledged to devote a quarter of its profits to "good causes" selected by an independent foundation. Now, I support good causes as much as the next fellow, and I have nothing negative to say about this initiative. I am compelled, however, to note that in delineating the obligations that corporations must meet, Wales made an error at once so common and so fundamental that it screams for correction.

Best pizza of our trip, on the main shopping street of Volterra
If in Volterra for a day trip and looking for a quick lunch, you can't beat the pizza at this tiny rustic pizzeria...it was the best pizza of our trip. Right up the street from the Etruscan Museum.

Click here for The Top Business Stories of 2012
Education and politics – along with a frequent mixture of the two – dominated the news in Northeast Mississippi and the rest of the state in 2012.
It was a year in which the Republicans completed their takeover of state government for the first time since the late 19th century and began a push for changes in public education, including charter schools and a new state ranking system.
The three most powerful state officials – Gov. Phil Bryant, Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves and Speaker of the House Philip Gunn – were all Republicans and all new to their positions.
On the federal level, Northeast Mississippi's two Republican incumbents – Sen. Roger Wicker and Congressman Alan Nunnelee, both of Tupelo – were re-elected and Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney easily carried the state after losing the spring GOP primary to Rick Santorum. A spirited state Supreme Court race elevated 40-year-old Josiah Coleman of Toccopola to the nine-member court.
In Tupelo, a new superintendent of schools, Gearl Loden, helped restore calm and rebuild confidence after several years of instability, turmoil and waning public support. State accountability rankings released in the fall and based on a year under interim leadership moved Tupelo up two notches to High Performing, or "B," under the new ranking system enacted earlier in the year by the Republican-controlled Legislature.
In Northeast Mississippi, 12 schools got the top ranking – Star, or "A" – including Saltillo and Mooreville high schools, revealing a huge gap between schools in the northern and southern halves of the Lee County School District. Verona Elementary School, by contrast, was ranked "F."
While an expanded charter school bill failed in the Legislature, GOP leaders worked to build support for it over the summer and fall and Bryant touted a focus on grade-level reading skills for all third graders and scholarships for low-income children to private schools. The discussion ensured that education will be a primary topic of the 2013 session that begins Jan. 8.
Meanwhile, state leaders grappled with responses required of the state under the new federal health care law, including whether to expand Medicaid and create a state health exchange.

I am looking for the alphas that Melissa Renfro used in this layout. Specifically the red "Greatest" Is this in a collection or can I buy the alpha? Thanks so much.
Posted 14 December 2012 - 04:28 AM
Could it be from Melissa's WELL LOVED COLLECTION BIGGIE I know it has the word "greatest" in the word art. Hmmmm....now that I look at your layout again, I don't think that's it. Still checking for you.
Posted 14 December 2012 - 04:44 AM
I've looked through all of the word art I could find and can't seem to find that one myself - why don't you pm Melissa Renfro and maybe she can help you? Or in the meantime maybe someone a little more boutique savvy will come along and have an answer for you! HTH

I am pretty sure that is a font not an alpha as the rest of the products are from her beautiful 'Well Loved Collection Biggie'. If you PM Melissa I am sure she would share what font it is.

In all the hype of Star Wars over the years, one of the most iconic images of the saga has been overlooked by nearly everyone, that being the Darth Vader Reveal Helmet.
It is made of 3 pieces. The first is the collar which wraps around the neck and includes all the breathing gadgets and microphones used by Anakin.
Second is the "face," the interior details of which are sketchy at best.
Third is the classic "dome."
Some talented prop/replica makers have the tools and skills to construct their own versions of this. But what would it take for a company like Master Replicas to reproduce this type of collectable?

What a great line!Our host termed it the first "marital double " he had witnessed and opined that it was a good thing we had found all the birds or we might have had some marital discord.
Since I have hunted mostly "solo" the last few years, there have been few witnesses to my great shooting. Often times that is a blessing. But I seem to get lucky once in awhile.
The "lucky" shot did have a witness. We were diver hunting and it was my second day ever in a layout boat. Being old and fairly inflexible, lying on my back with the layout tossing a bit in the waves and very little free room to move, it happened. My very first bluebill caming flying straight in five yards off the deck. I reacted slowly and it flared to my right. As it started to pass, I ran out of pivoting room and my left arm came completely off the gun.
It turned into one of those instants when suddenly everything seems to happen in super slow motion. My mind was calm and cooly said "Hold the swing and keep a firm grip on the gun so it doesn't knock any teeth out or drop into the water". I pulled the trigger and my jaw dropped in awe. Down it went into one of those rock skipping collisions with the water I'd only seen in videos.
Brian swooped in with the tender boat and picked it up. My smile remained for a long time. Then reality came back. Yesterday was a "whole box of shells with one bufflehead to show for it". However, I was immediately "hooked" on diver hunting.
1st day - four hunters and one of the two tender boats
2nd day results (with my witnessed "one armed" bluebill)

Chapter 12: TE Rational Equations and Functions; Topics in Statistics
In this chapter, students are introduced to inverse variation. They graph rational functions and divide polynomials. After being introduced to rational expressions they learn to add, subtract, multiply, and divide them. Students then solve rational equations. The chapter ends with surveys and sampling methods.
Suggested pacing:
Inverse Variation Models -
Graphs of Rational Functions -
Division of Polynomials -
Rational Expressions -
Multiplication and Division of Rational Expressions -
Addition and Subtraction of Rational Expressions -
Solutions of Rational Equations -
Surveys and Samples -
If you would like access to the Solution Key FlexBook for even-numbered exercises, the Assessment FlexBook and the Assessment Answers FlexBook please contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Problem-Solving Strand for Mathematics
The first portion of this chapter cements connections between algebraic and geometric ways (graphical displays) of representing functions and relationships in mathematics. Vertical, horizontal, and oblique asymptotes visually confirm what students have learned earlier in their studies: division by zero is undefined in our number system. The connection between inverse variation models and the graphs of rational functions is presented in the examples and review questions which pose real-world problems using rational functions.
The last lesson of the unit looks closely at topics in statistics. Students are asked to identify biased questions as well as biased sample populations and to display, analyze, and interpret statistical data effectively. Let students know they will have a survey project to complete before introducing the Surveys and Samples materials lesson and before reviewing Examples 3 and 4, Designing a Survey, and Examples 5 and 6, Display, Analyze, and Interpret Data, since the information needs to be seen in context in order for its value to be recognized.
Alignment with the NCTM Process Standards
The first lessons of this chapter consistently recognize and use connections among mathematical ideas (CON.1), encourage students to understand how mathematical ideas interconnect and build on one another to produce a coherent whole (CON.2), and—especially in real-world problem solving scenarios—recognize and apply mathematics in contexts outside of mathematics (CON.3). In the lessons, Rational Expressions and Solutions of Rational Equations, classic work and motion problems are presented so as to put these problem-solving techniques into meaningful perspective (PS.1, PS.2, and PS.3). In the Surveys and Samples lesson, students create and use representations to organize, record, and communicate mathematical ideas (R.1); select, apply, and translate among mathematical representations to solve problems (R.2); and use representations to model and interpret physical, social, and mathematical phenomena (R.3).
- CON.1 - Recognize and use connections among mathematical ideas.
- CON.2 - Understand how mathematical ideas interconnect and build on one another to produce a coherent whole.
- CON.3 - Recognize and apply mathematics in contexts outside of mathematics.
- PS.1 - Build new mathematical knowledge through problem solving.
- PS.2 - Solve problems that arise in mathematics and in other contexts.
- PS.3 - Apply and adapt a variety of appropriate strategies to solve problems.
- R.1 - Create and use representations to organize, record, and communicate mathematical ideas.
- R.2 - Select, apply, and translate among mathematical representations to solve problems.
- R.3 - Use representations to model and interpret physical, social, and mathematical phenomena.

A tip o' the hat to you, A.J.! Thanks!
Ol' smoothie looks cool as usual!
¡Que la fuerza te acompañe!
Sign up for a discount card, you'll always get the mailings AND discount coupons that now you can use towards ornaments.
"In my experience there's no such thing as luck."
My wife has been signed up for years but our Hallmark stores move, go out of business, etc. that I think we've been lost in the shuffle. Only once in a while do we get a catalog. Worth looking into again to get back on track. Thanks, Jon!
¡Que la fuerza te acompañe!
I just had a local store fold not that long ago, too. I only have one close by...I'll be there next w/e.
"In my experience there's no such thing as luck."
There used to be 5 stores, now it's down to just 3. The one closest to me has an odd owner; I've bought several ornaments from his shop, but not many lately. I plan to be at the shop that's gthe farthest from home by 9am next week. I really just want Lando, because I'm sure he'll go quickly (as the limited quantity) and the others look like they'll shelf warm for a while. But I get extra points for buying Hallmark stuff that weekend.
I predict that the upcoming Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi film will include the word "and." Multiple times.
Last time I checked we had at least three Hallmark stores around me. Two of them are actually right across the street from each other. One is inside the traditional mall and the other is beside a Kroger store in one of those outdoor type strip malls.
Rogue Squadron-19 Golds, Battle For Naboo-18 Platinums, Rogue Leader-15 Golds/15 Aces, Rebel Strike-19 Single Golds/19 Single Aces
James Boba Fettfield & Lord Malakite's Video Game Collection
Break out your sun chairs and sleeping bags to be in line for tomorrow's Ornament Premiere! Max out those credit cards!
I predict that the upcoming Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi film will include the word "and." Multiple times.
Got my Lando, as well as the rest of the SW ornaments this morning (still disappointed there was no Snowtrooper). Looked like they had about a dozen of Calrissian. How did everyone else fare?

Linuxaudio.org is a not-for-profit consortium of libre software projects and artists, companies, institutions, organizations, and hardware vendors using Linux kernel-based systems and allied libre software for audio-related work, with an emphasis on professional tools for the music, production, recording, and broadcast industries.
We are happy to announce this years issue of the Linux Audio Conference
(LAC) to take place at c-base, Berlin, Germany during April 8-10
in the form of a miniLAC.
The space station below Berlin-Mitte and members of Linux Audio Users Berlin
welcome all attendees, interested in the field of pro-audio on Linux
to join in a weekend of lectures, workshops, hacking and getting together.
We are happy to announce the next issue of the Linux Audio Conference
(LAC), April 9-12, 2015 @ JGU | Johannes Gutenberg University, in
Mainz, Germany.
This year's conference is hosted by the Computer Music Research Group
(Bereich Musikinformatik) at the IKM (Institut für Kunstgeschichte und
Musikwissenschaft) of the Johannes Gutenberg University (JGU) at
New community driven online project, Libre Music Production, launches today, Sunday 17th August 2014.
This new resource focuses on promoting music creation and composition using Free/Libre/Open Source Software.
The idea of Libre Music Production (LMP) was born out of a perceived lack of integrated resources, and in particular a lack of information aimed at new and non-technical users.
"On LMP you will find both text and video tutorials, as well as articles, that present a workflow for making music with FLOSS software," says Gabriel Nordeborn, Co-Founder of LMP.
Libre Music Production features articles on the basic steps in a FLOSS music workflow such as:
The articles and tutorials are supported by a Jargon Buster and FAQ-section, as well as a comprehensive tools listing, which are linked to throughout the website.
Libre Music Production is a community-driven project, originally founded by Gabriel Nordeborn (Sweden), Staffan Melin (Sweden) and Conor Mc Cormack (Ireland).

Futures for the leading indexes are up a slight fraction this Easter Monday morning, ahead of a week's trading that starts with both the Dow Jones Industrial Average and Standard & Poor's 500 index at record highs.
Shares of Tesla Motors (TSLA) are having a busy morning, with the stock up more than 12% after the company reported good news:
Tesla Motors says its electric sedan sales have exceeded the guidance it laid out two months ago and it expects to show a profit in the first quarter, a big victory for small high-tech automaker…
Tesla says it is scoring both on sales and production. It made 4,750 cars in the first quarter and none will languished on sales lots. All are destined for customers who already have placed orders for one. The output was 250 cars more than Tesla had promised in a February letter to shareholders laying out its first-quarter guidance.
Also on the rise are shares of Quicksilver Resources (KWK), up 20% after it announced on Friday a $485 million sale of 25% of its Barnett Shale oil and gas assets to Tokyo Gas. Quicksilver's stock has lost 55% in the past year.
Another riser is Cliffs Natural Resources (CLF), which finished the first quarter as the biggest loser on the S&P 500, suffering a 51% decline in the first three months; Cliffs stock is up 3.5% premarket. As Dow Jones' John Shipman writes, Cliffs received a boost this morning in a JPMorgan analyst note:
JPM calls CLF "an attractive buying opportunity following the unduly flamed fears in the key Great Lakes iron ore markets, signs of emerging stability in global seaborne prices, and an upcoming quarter supported by a strong 1Q13 average iron ore market where extremely negative sentiment (20% of the float is short) suggests merely meeting guidance will help re-link the shares to iron ore prices and potentially trigger positive earnings revisions."
And here's some reading on a so-far quiet Monday morning: Bloomberg looks at the recent move in the stock markets and tries to figure out if Wall Street has been caught by surprise or if investors are over-confident:
Bulls say the narrowing spread shows securities firms were caught off guard by the rally and that equities will climb as they boost predictions. Bears say the slowness of analysts to respond means stocks have gotten so far ahead of themselves that even market optimists are uncomfortable with the increase, which has added more than $10 trillion to values since 2009.

2. Pepsi Blue
Discontinued in the US and Canada in 2004.
3. French Toast Crunch
Ripped from grocery store shelves in the US in 2006. via.
4. Butterfinger BBs
Finished its impressive run in 2006.
5. Sprite Remix
Entered the grocery store of the great beyond in 2005.
6. Surge
The Coca-Cola Company ruined soda forever when they discontinued this fine beverage in 2003.
7. Magic Middles
The turbulent mid-90's took these delicious treats from our needy hands.
8. Ecto Cooler
Despite initially being simply a movie tie-in for 1984's Ghostbusters, Ecto Cooler disappeared in 2001, forever ruining the contents of your lunchbox.
9. 3D Doritos
Apparently the world wasn't ready for 3D snacks in the mid 2000's, and so this product ended its run all too early. I blame Avatar.
10. Crystal Pepsi

11. Squeezits
General Mills ruined snack-time forever in 2001.
12. Waffle Crisp
Has all but disappeared in recent years.
13. Oreo O's
The most delicious cereal of all time met its end in 2007. Except in South Korea!
14. PB Crisps
As the Planters Wikipedia article (very trustworthy) states, these goodies were "discontinued for being too delicious." via.
15. Four Loko
The Man killed Four Loko in 2011. RIP FUN.
16. Josta
The first energy drink ever apparently ran out of fuel in 1999.
17. Uh-Oh Oreos
Apparently the product has since been rebranded in 2007… but it will never be the same.
18. Wonder Balls
What's inside a wonder ball? Magic. And Nestle killed magic in 2004.
19. PB Max
Discontinued sometime in the 90's because the Mars family didn't like peanut butter. Seriously.

The future of research and scholarly activity to be Harpur Forum topic
Gerald Sonnenfeld, Binghamton University's vice president for research, will speak on "The Future of Research and Scholarly Activity at Binghamton University" at the Harpur Forum's annual faculty spotlight luncheon, Thursday, January 13, in the Mandela Room on campus. Lunch will begin at 11:30 a.m., and the program will begin at noon.
Sonnenfeld believes that Binghamton fares well with its collaborative efforts with businesses and industry, as well as among faculty. "We're already ahead of the game in interdisciplinary efforts," he said. "That's how we're unique. When teams are effective and work together, we've done a good thing." Fashioning more interdisciplinary activities is Sonnenfeld's goal.
An internationally recognized immunologist and a groundbreaking space flight researcher, Sonnenfeld also brings his success in obtaining funding to the University. He is serving as a professor of biological sciences and continuing his research into the regulation of the immune system by the neuro-endocrine system and how stress affects reactions.
Sonnenfeld holds two U.S. patents and one from Canada, and is a member of numerous professional organizations including the American Association of Immunologists, the American Society for Microbiology, the American Society for Virology and the Surgical Infection Society.
He is the recipient of the 2004 Orr E. Reynolds Distinguished Service Award from the American Society for Gravitational and Space Biology.
Prior to coming to Binghamton, Sonnenfeld was chair of the Department of Microbiology, Biochemistry and Immunology and associate dean for basic sciences and graduate studies at the Morehouse School of Medicine in Atlanta.
He earned his bachelor of science degree in biology at City College of New York and his doctorate in microbiology/immunology at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine. He also received postdoctoral training in immunology and infectious diseases at the Division of Infectious Diseases of the Stanford University School of Medicine.

Impressive: Frostbite 3 Engine Features Detailed On Video
In an effort to offer realism and believability, the Frostbite 3 engine handles features such as trees swaying in the breeze; the game engine produces "weather", and the rules of the weather affect the movement of the trees, the ocean, and even the clouds. When you're on the water, the waves are part of the gameplay now, and you have to account for their rise and fall.
Furthering the concept of destruction that dynamically changes a map, in Battlefield 4, "levolution"--wherein a multiplayer map can be dramatically changed by, for example, a building collapsing--is a key feature.
There's also been a lot of work to develop more emotionally believable characters, and to that end, they included things like eye details (parallax animation in the iris and pupils) and sub surface scattered models.
We enjoyed the lengthy Battlefield 4 demo video we saw back in March, but it's clear that there's more to the Frostbite 3 engine than we'd seen.

With low enrollment, Steamboat Springs School District's Montessori program might end
Started in fall 2004, the district's elementary school Montessori program at Strawberry Park Elementary School once was so popular parents had to hope their child's name was drawn from a lottery to earn a spot in the class.

Deeplinks Blog posts about NSA Spying
Author Malcolm Gladwell recently name-checked the EFF in an article published in The New Yorker. Mr. Gladwell's piece examines what he sees as the differences between whistle-blowers Edward Snowden and Daniel Ellsberg, and concludes that Snowden doesn't deserve the respect (or apparently the same legal protection) that Ellsberg does. It's always nice to be mentioned in respected publications, but as an organization that has actual experience with trying to make change with whistleblower information, we sharply disagree with Mr. Gladwell's conclusion, and even more so with how he gets there.
Where will the incoming Trump administration come down on issues like surveillance, encryption, and cybersecurity? While it is impossible to know the future, we have collected everything we could find about the stated positions of Trump and those likely to be in his administration on these crucial digital privacy issues. If you are aware of any additional statements that we have not included, please email email@example.com with a link to your source material, and we will consider it for inclusion.
Technology company leaders are reportedly meeting with President-elect Donald Trump and members of his transition team tomorrow in New York. Mr. Trump's relationship with technology companies has been frosty, and his statements during the campaign and recent cabinet picks raise serious concerns about the new administration's commitment to protecting the digital rights of all Americans and fostering innovation. They also point to the deep need for Mr.
Many have contacted us with concerns about yesterday's election results. At this critical moment, we want digital civil liberties supporters worldwide to feel confident that EFF remains steadfast in its mission and method: to use law and technology to champion civil liberties and provide a potent check against overreach.
EFF has worked for 26 years to build a free and fair future. When civil liberties come under threat, we challenge the powerful—from those in high office to perpetrators of common malice—to establish limits and protect people. We know that freedom and justice don't just materialize. They aren't automatic or made inevitable by technology. If we want our technologies—which today are woven throughout our communities, our laws, our culture, and our very lives—to support freedom and justice, we have to work for it. Hard. We have to fight.
The Obama administration promised privacy protections for foreigners abroad, but PPD-28 fails to deliver those protections
In early 2014, still reeling from global outrage over recently uncovered surveillance programs, President Barack Obama pledged to rein in the U.S. government's spying and boost privacy protections for people in the U.S. and abroad. His words were heartening:
"People around the world, regardless of their nationality, should know that the United States is not spying on ordinary people … and that we take their privacy concerns into account," he said, standing in front of American flags at Justice Department headquarters in Washington, D.C.

Phil Collins - they shoot horses
01 Feb 2013 - 31 Mar 2013
Museum of Canadian Contemporary Art, Toronto
Inspired by the Depression-era craze of dance marathons portrayed in both Horace McCoy's 1935 novel and Sydney Pollack's 1969 film adaptation They Shoot Horses, Don't They?, Phil Collins staged his own eight-hour dance marathon in Ramallah with nine Palestinian youths. With a soundtrack that features pop artists such as Diana Ross, Beyoncé, Joy Division and Olivia Newton John, this installation simulates the atmosphere of a nightclub, where the audience witnesses, and may even dance along with, the participants as they pass through states of enthusiasm, exhilaration, exhaustion and sheer determination.

|Former Hugh Hefner girlfriend Holly Madison recently had her breasts insured for $1 million with Lloyd's of London. The 31-year-old former reality star now regularly performs in the Las Vegas production, "Peepshow." Madison said, "If anything happened to my boobs, I'd be out for a few months and I'd probably be out a million dollars. I thought I'd cover my assets."

|The superstar singer is famous for her amazing voice, but apparently, she decided that her legs are just as valuable. In 2006, Mariah Carey had her legs insured for a whopping $1 billion after she became the face of shaving company Gillette's "Legs of a Goddess" campaign. At the time, a source said, "The sum reflects her popularity. She's about to start a U.S. tour and she'll have to be careful." A 16-foot-tall statue of Carey's legs was unveiled at Radio City Music Hall in honor of the campaign.

|The actress famously wore braces on "Ugly Betty," but in reality America Ferrara's teeth are pretty much perfect. So perfect, that when Ferrara teamed with a teeth-product company for a charity, the company took out an insurance policy—on her smile. The actress seems to have appreciated the policy. She said, "It's very flattering to have my smile insured for $10 million. It's not something that I ever imagined happening."

The National Library of Energy(Beta): A Gateway to Information about the "All-of-the-Above" Energy Strategy
While I have not taken a formal survey, my experience over many years as a Department of Energy (DOE) employee suggest to me that most people have no idea what DOE does. Let me amend that. Many people know exactly what we do. DOE controls the price of gas at the pump; it manages natural gas drilling, builds pipe lines and regulates refineries. As it turns out, people know a great deal about DOE, it's just that most of it is dead wrong.
Look it up and you'll find that "[t]he mission of the Energy Department is to ensure America's security and prosperity by addressing its energy, environmental and nuclear challenges through transformative science and technology solutions." Hmm. Nothing about gas prices there.
Once you get a bead on the DOE mission you are ready to mine its extraordinary set of resources.
American Citizens Need Basic Research
Some time ago, a friend, a young father of two, lay in a hospital bed seriously ill. The physician said there was no treatment. The pancreas was secreting substances that were digesting itself and destroying surrounding tissue. Some patients recover on their own; others do not.
Natural laws may allow some remedy which will assist the body's own defenses and cause the pancreas to heal. If there was such a remedy, why did the physician not use it? The answer is the lack of knowledge -- not of just one physician, but of the medical profession as a whole. Unless the physician is a researcher, he waits for others to discover the remedy. He waits because no predecessor mastered the natural laws which govern the pancreas.
The young father in my story is a real person. His name is Vince Dattoria.
Overlooking the eastern shore of the beautiful San Francisco Bay is UC Berkeley, founded during the gold rush days as the flagship institution of the University of California. This campus has become one of the preeminent universities in the world. UC Berkeley has consistently ranked highest among the world's public institutions for its achievements in teaching and for the quality and breadth of its research enterprise.
Berkeley's core research community is made up of some 1,600 full time faculty, 10,000 graduate students, and approximately 1,400 post-doctoral fellows from throughout the world. An astounding 22 current and former faculty and 29 alumni have received the Nobel Prize. The first atom-smashing cyclotron was developed here and UC Berkeley faculty played a key role in building the world's first atomic bomb.
Scientific videos just became even more plentiful and even more accessible through OSTI's multimedia search tool ScienceCinema. Over a three-month period and with the help of a wonderful summer intern working alongside OSTI staff, we have added 560 new science videos to ScienceCinema from DOE Labs. Now, ScienceCinema contains over 3,200 videos highlighting exciting research sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy and CERN. Using innovative, state-of-the-art audio indexing and speech recognition technology, ScienceCinema allows users to quickly search videos, and identify the exact point in the video where the search terms were spoken.
Turning points in history – things or events that define lasting change in the world we know. The industrial revolution, Henry Ford's automobile, penicillin, Einstein's theory of relativity, firsts in aviation and space, the discovery of electricity, and the digital computer invention were some of these turning points.
