Individual counselling
There are times when people need to talk to someone about their problems, and go to individual counselling or therapy to get help and advice.
If you think counselling/therapy is something might be helpful for you, you first need to decide who you'd like to to talk to. This may be a counsellor, social worker or psychologist.
How to find a therapist
Counselling Directory has a list of different services in lreland and in your area. You could ask friends or your GP if they can recommend anyone. Before you have your first appointment, be clear about whether the service is free or not – that way there won't be any surprises.
If you need to access a free service, take a look at the HSE website, call their helpline (1850 24 1850), or talk to your GP to find the best way to do this. It might take a while to get an appointment, but don't give up, you'll get one.
If you need to talk to someone straight away, call Samaritans on 1850 60 90 90.
Different counselling approaches
At the first appointment, it's normal for both the client and the counsellor/therapist to talk about what the client wants from the counselling or therapy – what your goal is. Different counsellors use different approaches to help you get to that goal, to sort out issues or manage mental health problems, such as depression or bipolar disorder.
Read up on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT therapy), which some people have found very effective.
Ask questions
This is an important time, so ask how the counsellor or therapist works. You can ask these questions when you make the appointment, or at your first session. Some things to ask, if you feel comfortable enough:
- What training or experience does the counsellor or therapist have?
- Do they belong to a professional association?
- How many sessions do they want you to have?
- How often do they want you to make an appointment?
- Do they feel comfortable discussing your particular dilemma or concern?
- Will they be discussing your case with anyone else?
Counsellors or therapists will often suggest a short term course of counselling to begin with, eg every week for a short period of time. Sessions usually last around an hour.
Deciding to continue
Within the first few sessions, you'll know whether you want to continue seeing a counsellor/therapist, and if so, whether this one is the right one for you. Sometimes a few sessions can make all the difference and sometimes it takes a little longer, which is fine.
Make sure you feel comfortable enough with the person you're seeing. If you're not, do try someone else. Don't let a first experience put you off if it doesn't go quite right, there are loads of different counsellors and you'll find one you like.

Hi Neena,
It sounds like you've a tough decision to make and the only person who can really answer the question is you. However, it might help to take a look at your life in the longer view. What do you think the best thing would be for you further down the line?
If you can work (which you say you need to do to support your studies) and still study, but on a different course then that might be worth considering.
It depends why you're hesitant to switch courses? Is it because you feel the new course isn't as good, or it will affect your grades? Or is it the idea of change and leaving friends that makes you hesitant?
Change is often difficult, but it's something we all experience in our lives. It's worth remembering that if you do decide to switch courses, you'll still have your friends, it might just mean making a little more effort to see them - which can strengthen a friendship.
If you feel the new course wouldn't be as good for your future, is there any way you can stay on the course you're on now and maybe find a different job to support yourself?
What do your friends and family say about this? Getting different opinions can help. Is there a career guidance teacher or a counsellor you can talk to at college who could maybe give advice?
I hope some of this makes your decision a little easier.
Best of luck,

"The Real L Word" recap: Episode 308 – "Premonitionsâ€
Back in New York, Kiyomi and Lauren go out on their first date at Tre, an Italian wine bar and restaurant on the Lower East Side. This is the same restaurant that Vero and Kiyomi went to last episode, where Vero told Kiyomi that Lauren said she could see herself just being with Kiyomi.
Lesbians: so advanced that they can go steady before the first date. It's like getting a degree in Literature without knowing how to read. Or becoming a member of the House Science, Space and Technology Committee without knowing anything about science, space or technology.
Really really trying not to make an "eating out" joke. Oops, too late.
After an attempt at making awkward conversation, the two give up and just make out.
Kiyomi tells us that while she still isn't sure whether she is ready for a relationship she sees something in Lauren that makes her want to change her ways. As Kiyomi tells Lauren about her meeting with Somer, I got distracted by the specials menu at Tre. Unlimited Champagne brunch? Vino con Pesche? Unlimited meatballs? What was Kiyomi talking about again?
Back in LA, Jonesy Cat hears a toilet flush and paws at the door of the bathroom. Something is afoot. Either Jonesy is exhibiting its natural animal sixth sense and knows something big is about to happen, or he is just upset that he didn't get to stand on the toilet seat and watch water spiral down the toilet bowl.
Cori steps out of the bathroom, and Jonesy squawks with disapproval and flees. Cori gets into bed holding a home pregnancy test and without any expectations, looks at the results.
"We're pregnant!" says Cori.
"Holy shit!" says Kacy, laughing.
The Unicorn rises again! (OK, I it's the phoenix that rises, but unicorns are special and can do anything.)
Meanwhile Whitney and Sara are lying in bed wondering what the hell they were fighting about the night before.
Sara tell Whitney that she didn't want to hang out with Amanda last night at all.
"We already have our own shit going on, and as soon she gets there, I'm already irritated by her," says Sara.
Whitney tells as that Amanda didn't really cause all the tension that happened the night before – all the stress, planning, headaches associated with the wedding were making both Sara and Whitney irritable. Amanda was just the village idiot that stumbled into an already tense situation.
So Whitney and Sara discuss their need to communicate more effectively, now that they are actually married. They agree that the days of storming out of a club, screaming expletives on the street while talking with their hands should be over. Look ma! They done growed up!

Guilt trips are a form of verbal or nonverbal communication in which a guilt inducer tries to induce guilty feelings in a target in an effort to control their behavior. As such, guilt trips are a clear form of psychological manipulation and coercion.
However, we rarely think of guilt trips in such harsh terms. Instead we see them as unwatchable movies starring Barbara Streisand and Seth Rogen, things some mothers say to get their kids to have another bowl of soup ("I slaved over a stove for three hours for you to have only one matzo ball?"), or something some fathers do to get their children to conform ("Fine, don't come to your niece's confirmation. I guess your family and faith aren't important to you anymore").
Why Guilt Trips Often Succeed
Guilt trips might be the bread and butter of many family communications but they are rarely as benign as we might think. While they often 'succeed', in that the recipient indeed changes their behavior as a result, these 'successes' always come with a price—one few guilt inducers consider—guilt trips frequently induce not just strong feelings of guilt but equally strong feelings of resentment toward the manipulator.

Pasadena Park Elementary volunteer Cheri Reed helps third-grader Grace Peters find the perfect gift for her family at the Scholar Dollar Christmas store, which she organizes. SR photo/Bart Rayniak
Now that we're all up on this fine Monday morning and on our first (or second) cup of coffee, it's time to take a look at some highlights from Saturday's Valley Voice in case you missed it. Spokane Valley Fire is heading up a new ambulance contract that includes nearly every fire department and district in the county. Response times are down and some tweaks are being made to the contract to make it better.
A volunteer grandma at Pasadena Park Elementary spends her December running the Scholar Dollar store for children who have earned points by reading. They can spend their points on Christmas gifts. Spokane Valley Partners is not having a Season of Sharing this year due to budget cuts.
An audit of 2009 records shows no problems for the City of Spokane Valley, according to auditors. However, the city is dealing with a criminal case against a former employee for theft of city money. Millwood residents will see increases in their water and sewer rates beginning Jan. 1. And at Tuesday's Spokane Valley council meeting, deputy mayor Gary Schimmels will recommend that the council appoint the mayor's half-brother to the planning commission.

This bag is very special to me. Besides the obvious features (buttery leather, color, style) that made me fell in love with it, also because I got it for free! No, I did not steal it. I actually won one of the giveaways that Botkier had on Twitter a couple of years ago. :-)
I was so happy! It was the most expensive thing I have ever won from giveaways. Not forget to mention, it came from one of my favorite designers too.

Excellent set of clubs. Ideal for me as I am now in my 60's. Have played with Wilsons for the last 15 years and these are ideal.
morley25 H.Cap (28) 08.10.12
I have only been playing a few months and was considering giving up as I cudn't hit a thing! Boy am I glad I bought these irons, i've now got confidence in my game. They're so forgiving and get good height and distance, including the lower irons. Clubs were in much better conditions than the description sugested and golf bidder delivered swiftly, I will definately be using golf bidder in the future!
Back_Splice H.Cap (26) 07.05.12
Really pleased with these irons. Condition is almost as new and delivery was prompt. First time out with them on the course and all my iron shots are going higher and longer and exactly in the direction I hit them. Only trouble now is to sort out the direction I hit them!! When setting up for a shot that sense of foreboding about what might happen has gone. Very pleased and I will be back soon to Golfbidder for a new driver.

Good set of clubs, reasonably priced. Seem to be helping me get rid of my slice

Superbowl Champion
Superbowl Champion
Is that you, Tyrod?
I remember Cornell Brown from his playing days at Virginia Tech. I was a student when he was a player. Hard to believe the Hokies have recruits born in 1993, the year I started college. Ugh.
Cornell is now a linebackers coach at Virginia Tech, but won a Super Bowl as a player for the Baltimore Ravens back in 2000.
Though he didn't play, Hokie Tyrod Taylor (2) is still a member of the 2013 Super Bowl champion Baltimore Ravens and will get a shiny ring. Here he is celebrating with teammates Arthur Jones (97), Dennis Pitta (88), and starting quarterback and Super Bowl MVP Joe Flacco. (Photo by Dilip Vishwanat/Getty Images)
Photo: Baltimore Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis signed a portrait by a member of the church where the Lilliston family attends. The portrait features Joshua alongside Lewis and will be auctioned off with proceeds to benefit a local school.
It has been more than a year since Joshua Lilliston, a member of the Virginia Tech Corps of Cadets, lost his battle with a rare form of eye cancer. To honor their fallen classmate, the cadets donated the proceeds from their annual Shadow Day fundraiser to the the newly created Joshua Lilliston '14 Memorial Scholarship fund.
The recipient of this scholarship is an upperclassman in the Virginia Tech Corps of Cadets with a medical condition preventing the student from entering the military.
If you'd like to make a tax-deductible donation to this fund, you can donate online, or send a check to the Virginia Tech Foundation with "Lilliston Scholarship" on the memo line. The address is Virginia Tech, University Development 0336, Blacksburg, VA 24061, Attention VTCC.
About Shadow Day
Each year, the Corps of Cadets has a Shadow Day in which freshmen cadets bid for a chance to shadow high-ranking upperclassmen in leadership positions. The event takes place over two days. The top bidders shadow their upperclassman on the first day to learn about the leadership position they hold. On the second day, the freshmen take over the upperclassmen positions and rank and lead the regiment for the day.
With regards to Virginia Tech football, we're thankful for Tyrod Taylor.
Tyrod Taylor's 9-yard touchdown pass with :22 seconds left in the game gave the Baltimore Ravens a 34-31 win over the Washington Redskins. Taylor finished 11/18 for 125 yards, 1 TD and no INTs.

Former Hokies Tyrod Taylor and Ryan Williams made their NFL debuts last night. Taylor looked impressive, despite two interceptions, leading the Ravens in rushing, while Williams had a quiet debut with just four carries for 21 yards. Click on the photo above to read the full article.

NSW Cardiovascular Research Network (CVRN)
The NSW Cardiovascular Research Network (CVRN) is a ground breaking collaboration that has brought the state's most eminent researchers together for the first time.
The Heart Foundation has facilitated the establishment of the NSW CVRN, with the support of the NSW Department of Health.
Combining expertise in the fields of heart disease, stroke, diabetes and kidney disease, the CVRN promises to deliver results that will improve health outcomes for patients as well as reduce the financial burden that cardiovascular disease places on our health system.
Despite being the most populous state in the country, NSW is consistently under-represented in the number of research grants that are awarded in the cardiovascular research area.
CVRN currently comprises of 14 umbrella member organisations and over 50 affiliated research institutions who actively participate in the Network with the purpose of encouraging collaboration and commitment to cardiovascular research and supporting the research workforce in NSW. More and more researchers are coming on board as they become aware of the Network and its potential and power through leverage and interaction.
CVRN 'State of the Heart 2014' Showcase
2014 Ministerial Award for Cardiovascular Research Excellence
This year, CVRN launched an exciting new initiative to support early and mid career researchers (ECRs and MCRs) in building their cross-institutional, cross-disciplinary research networks. The new 'Ministerial Award for Rising Stars in Cardiovascular Research' has been developed by The Hon. Jillian Skinner, in conjunction with the NSW CVRN and will acknowledge an outstanding ECR/MCR in NSW.
Past Ministerial Award Winners:
2013 Professor Richard Harvey

text: Brazilian GP: Mercedes GP preview 19 November, 2011 Nico Rosberg and Michael Schumacher Nov.19 (Mercedes GP) The final race of the 2011 Formula One season, the Brazilian Grand Prix, takes place at the Autodromo José Carlos Pace in Sao Paulo on Sunday 27 November. Located in Interlagos, the historic 4.309 km circuit is the highest of the year at 800m above sea level, and one of only five anti-clockwise tracks on this year's calendar. • The Safety Car has been deployed in seven of the last ten races in Interlagos, on a total of 11 occasions. • Interlagos is the shortest permanent circuit on the calendar with the shortest lap time of any circuit. • DRS can be used over 59% of the lap in practice and qualifying: only Montreal, Spa and Monza have higher values. Michael Schumacher "The final race of the season is approaching fast and I am looking forward to the weekend in Brazil. There is always a really good atmosphere at the Interlagos track and it's one of the traditional venues for Formula One to end the season. We have enjoyed some good results finishing in the top six over the last few races, and I would love to continue this trend in Brazil and bring the season to a positive end. The team have worked very hard to improve our performance with the car that we have available to us and it would be a fitting reward for them." Nico Rosberg "I'm really looking forward to going to Brazil next week. The Interlagos track is amazing to drive, and in the last weeks we have made some steps forward without having any big updates on the car, so it should be a good weekend. I would love to give the season a nice ending; our engineers, the boys in the garage and everybody at our factories in Brackley and Brixworth deserve a good result at our last race. The stronger qualifying and race pace in Abu Dhabi makes me confident that we can push and try to catch one of the cars from the top three teams at Interlagos. Our Mercedes engine power and the top speed in the car will be good for getting up the hill on the long start-finish straight." Ross Brawn, Team Principal "The Brazilian Grand Prix weekend is always a lively and vibrant event, and Interlagos is a fitting venue for the final race of this year's Formula One season. Although our focus at the factory has been on 2012 for some time now, at the race track we are continuing to work hard with this year's car and make improvements. We are determined to end the season on a high and continue the run of top six results that we have enjoyed recently, which is the upper limit of the potential of the current car. Interlagos is a very unique track which presents some unusual challenges; the high altitude location, the bumpy surface and the challenging layout all test both the drivers and engineers." Norbert Haug, Vice-President, Mercedes-Benz Motorsport "Brazil is a great venue for a Formula One season finale: our sport has a proud history in the country, and the atmosphere and dedicated spectators at Interlagos are fantastic. The circuit layout usually delivers exciting and unpredictable races. Interlagos is the second shortest circuit of the year and, coupled with a relatively high average speed, this normally makes for an intense race. The 71 laps around an anti-clockwise layout are challenging for the drivers, and the circuit requires good aerodynamic and mechanical performance in the second sector, and efficient aerodynamics and good engine performance in the first and third sectors. Seven of the last ten Brazilian Grands Prix have featured Safety Car deployments, so we must factor this probability into our strategies – and even more so with the increase in wheel-to-wheel action this year, thanks to DRS and the Pirelli tyres. In Abu Dhabi, we saw for the first time ever six Mercedes-Benz powered cars finish in the top ten – including in first and third places. Good results for Mercedes GP Petronas and our partner teams are our target at the final round of the season."

TASER announces wildlife management stungun
We've seen TASER electroshock weapons designed for law enforcement, personal protection and even riot control, but in all of the above cases, it's a human on the receiving end. Now the company has a different target in sight for its "less lethal" technology ... and it's one that could create as much controversy as its predecessors – the TASER Wildlife Electronic Control Device. Read More
Reading the morning paper while behind the wheel of your car might sound like surefire recipe for disaster, but in the not-too-distant future it might just become a safer and more economical option than actually doing the driving yourself. That's the theory behind SARTRE (Safe Road Trains for the Environment) project – a synthesis of personal and public transport that will allow cars to be daisy-chained and automatically controlled by a lead vehicle in a process dubbed "platooning." The project has now made the leap from simulator to real roads in the first successful demonstration of the technology at the Volvo Proving Ground near Gothenburg, Sweden. Read More
Following on from a successful maiden flight under battery power in 2010, AeroVironment's high altitude, long endurance (HALE) Global Observer unmanned aircraft has now taken to the skies using hydrogen-fueled propulsion. The aircraft reached an altitude of 5,000 feet during the four hour flight on January 11 at Edwards Air Force Base (EAFB) in California. Both the endurance and the altitude of the system will be expanded in further test flights in order to achieve the planned operational altitude of 55,000 to 65,000 feet. Read More

Unveiled at the 2011 Detroit Auto Show today, the KV7 was developed by Kia's Southern California design team as a re-think of the segment that attempts to go beyond the notion of a van as simply an A-to-B family troop carrier. The design influences of Kia's recent offering like the Soul is clear, but what really grabs you about the KV7 is the interior – floating tabletop touch-screen computer display, four swiveling single-seats plus a three-seater corner mini-lounge, clever storage compartments, Wi-Fi connectivity and ... what every lounge-room needs ... a grand entrance courtesy of a long gullwing door and pillarless front door on the passenger side.

When Porsche promises a world premiere you expect something very special and as the curtain went up on the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) this morning, it delivered. The company has taken the drivetrain of the 911 GT3 R Hybrid and spliced it together with the silky lines of the 918 Spyder Concept to create the Porsche 918 RSR – a mid-engine coupé that puts out a remarkable 767 hp at peak using the combined forces of its direct injection V8 engine and electric motors on each of the front wheels.

GoPro to release housing for 3D action videography
GoPro is getting into 3D with its 1080p HD HERO actioncam range, but it's taking a slightly different approach. Instead of jamming two lenses and two sensors into one unit, the company has opted to build a special casing that joins two of the existing 2D cameras at the hip. The 3D HERO Expansion kit will be compatible with all 1080p HD HERO cameras and is expected to hit shelves in February at a cost of US$100. Read More
Otterbox has a well earned reputation for producing high-quality protective cases for mobile gear and its latest range for iPhone 4 and BlackBerry Curve – the Reflex Series – has just been announced at CES. The new design is made up of a single layer of polycarbonate and TPE rubber which surrounds your smartphone with an air cushion "crumplezone" so that in the event of a bump, the case recoils and springs back again.

Samsung's NX11 mirrorless interchangeable lens camera
Samsung has announced an update to its NX line of mirrorless interchangeable lens cameras along with a powerful new 24X zoom compact ahead of next week's CES. The follow up to the NX10 (sensibly called the NX11) shares many of the features of its predecessor including an APS-C (23.4 mm × 15.6 mm) size, 14.6 megapixel CMOS sensor and 3-inch AMOLED screen. The updated unit is also the same weight and size, with the key points of difference being extended compatibility with the i-Function lenses first introduced last year on the NX100 and a slight tweaking of the grip design.

The room was lovely and clean and the few was incredible
I wanted more of a holiday atmosphere and it turned out it's really more of a private club; I felt a little bit too much like an outsider but it was a lovely hotel room; we just didn't do anything else at the resort

Visual Objects : from Reality To EXpression
Head : Hervé Luga
VORTEX aims to form a dynamic group working on visual objects. Our research efforts on visual objects, real or virtual, span a wide range of : still images, videos, 2D and 3D scenes etc. We want to design and develop methods, models and tools to deal with visual objects (real, virtual or mixed) up to give them, by creation or enhancement, elements allowing to adapt their use according to user features, applications, context. For this, we do not want to develop several models but a meta-model or a multi form model (a multi model approach) including several different sub-models, each one with its properties and inner limitations but seen globally, each model covers up drawbacks of the other.
Visual objects are thus central in our research activities to allow to create them, edit them, to give them knowledge, to manipulate then thanks to interaction capabilities and to share them through networked environment.
VORTEX is organized around three axis :
A multi model approach is developed to allow the use of 2D and 3D models ; real, synthetic or augmented ; static and animated ; for the design, the artistic expression, the communication, ...
We want to study models to capture visual object features (shape, motion, texture, ...). Two ways will be followed, the omnidirectional capture of static scenes by dedicated systems and the detection and characterisation of dynamic objects in image sequences : through motion (2D tracking, rigid or not, for instance), through shape and geometry (3D tracking from models, for instance), through texture (object detection by recognition, for instance), and more generally, through the study of visual clues matching.
We also want to provide models allowing building a 3D scene from diverse informations : pictures or videos captured from real, scanned 3D objects, and intuitively modelled 3D objects and synthetic images. We study expression mediums allowing facilitating the interaction between tools and users about sketching and semi autonomous tools for 3D production. We are also interested in real-time visualisation (at least interactive) of 3D scenes, in expressive rendering, in highly dynamic rendering, in merging real and virtual worlds, in lighting, and in complex surfaces properties. The crucial points are : registration ; estimation ; model learning ; model inversion ; information fusion ; model, data structure and algorithms development.
Aimed results are : pictures, videos and 3D objects fusion and manipulation (using sketching) methods, real-time or interactive global lighting and relighting methods, real-time 3D object robust reconstruction methods.
Foreseen applications are : user-friendly environment construction for communication and artistic expression ; product design, augmented reality environment construction.
The goal is the synthesis of virtual worlds in which autonomous or controlled creatures, acting in an evolutionary environment, develop properties inspired from Life (reproduction, co-evolution, self adaptation, self organisation, ...). Our purpose is to go from an individual conception approach for virtual space elements to a global approach allowing synthesizing them simultaneously. Our skills include shape and behaviour morphogenesis using evolutionary techniques, multi criteria optimisation systems acting in evolutionary / dynamic environments. In relation to autonomous entities, our work in the behavioural simulation domain includes aspects such as learning (classifier systems), communication, spatial coordination, decision making. To synthesize complete artificial creatures in complex ecosystems, our work is now oriented to the field of artificial embryogenesis (computational development) i.e. how to connect development and evolution to control cellular growth able to produce fitted organs or assemblies. This is built on massively parallel multi agent systems to obtain emergent system properties.
The fundamental problem is the simulation of behaviour showing properties such as cooperation/competition, adaptation, evolution, learning, anticipation, and memory, up to the synthesis of ecosystems. In connection to other fields, common problems are shape and scene production using advanced tools and coupling real sensors and artificial entities.
Aimed results involve animation in order to animate groups or crowds, to populate artificial worlds of credible autonomous or controlled creatures ; artificial life to synthesize complex artificial systems from properties (physical, structural, visual, functional, perceptual, behavioural,). In synergy with the other fields, results will be to automatically generate product configuration for functional simulation and to provide advanced mechanisms for adaptive (enactive) interaction with visual objects in the context of augmented reality applications.
Targeted applications include behavioural simulation of situated virtual characters (in games, simulation, ...), pedestrian or vehicle simulation, town or population growth up to complex system simulation : major risk management, economical macro simulation, optimisation. Applications also include the help to design, conception and decision (in the scientific, industrial and artistic domains) and the conception of structures and systems for industries and the evolutionary robotic research field.
The goal is the development of methods, techniques and tools allowing the shared interactive use of 2D or 3D models, real or synthetic, static or animated, in virtual reality or augmented reality worlds.
Visual objects managed here may be created or acquired by Axis 1, and may have evolved and been adapted by Axis 2. Objects (called "smart visual objects") are the active content of our visual environments. We can also find here multi model, multi representation, and multi scale notions as we are leaded to manipulate, share, communicate, and adapt visual objects. Objectives involve : interoperation of heterogeneous interactive cooperative 3D simulations, intuitive and non-intrusive immersive collaborative 3D interfaces and the adaptation of visual objects to heterogeneous exploitation environments.
The main problems tackled here are : distributed cooperative simulations and exchanges between distributed applications, including optimisation of communication between applications as well as links between real and virtual worlds, interactivity, immersion, mobility and intuitiveness in distributed virtual and augmented environments.
Targeted results would be first coupling multi model / multi scale / multi resolution multimedia data to support concurrent uses of distributed environments then enhancing the interaction and immersion for several users thanks to merging virtual reality, interaction and motion capture or merging virtual reality, augmented reality / video and distributed multimedia.
Foreseen applications are distributed VR/AR environments and multimedia applications, with a special interest in massively multi user games/simulations, mobile operators/users support, interactive rooms, up to ubiquitous interactive self-adaptive multimedia information systems. Another targeted application domain is the co-design and the co-simulation, in the context of concurrent engineering with the coupling of design and heterogeneous multi domain simulations on 3D functional virtual mock-ups using collaborative environments (intuitive and non intrusive 3D interaction) for distributed simulation and interactive workspace. More generally, application domains of such complex 3D virtual environment are, for Sciences : experiments "in virtuo" ; for Industries : training, collaborative engineering, virtual prototyping, virtual product lifecycle simulation, for the Society : education, territory planning, communication, marketing, entertainment, ...

A Patent Conversation with Steve Kunin: De Novo Review and Bright Line RulesPosted: Sunday, Mar 16, 2014 @ 1:21 pm | Written by Gene Quinn | Comments Off
Posted in: Federal Circuit, Gene Quinn, Interviews & Conversations, IP News, IPWatchdog.com Articles, Patents
I have known Kunin for years. We occasionally get together and swap e-mails. During one of our latest meetings I suggested that our conversation would make excellent reading. He agreed to once again go on the record for a wide ranging discussion of patents.
My interview with Kunin occurred on Wednesday, February 26, 2014, at his office in Alexandria, Virginia. We discussed everything from the Federal Circuit's recent decision in Ballast Lighting, the CAFC's continued love affair with de novo review, the Supreme Court refusing to allow bright line rules, patent office administrative trials, the role of a patent procedure expert in patent litigation and more.

Well, I have the entire set (20mm, 30mm, and 40mm) and find the 40mm to be the best of the three. From the time I received my 20mm guy, I have worn one of them for 58 consecutive days (unless there is a metal detector problem, there is no reason to take it off). I have only a single (minor) nit to pick: the design (a pin and one hex-head screw) makes it a bit of a bother to put it on. But, DON'T SWEAT IT; with a bit of patience, you'll get it on and enjoy this wondrous ornament for a very long time. (Why, oh why, couldn't I have had one of these 50 years ago (I'm 71 now)? Sigh.)

We have a tiny house here in Banana Land, I'm living with a bunch of random potatoes and it's nice because I don't have to deal with those stupid bananas. When we were in Potato Town, I prefer to stay indoors since I don't like being surrounded by too much potatoes. But here in Banana Land, you'll be happy if a random potato talks to you or help you understand what the bananas are saying. I'm starting to be a couch potato, I did nothing but watch movies and sit all day. Bob gave me nice movies to watch and one that's really boring,
I'll be with my dad while I'm studying here. Unfortunately, he's turning into a banana.
The thing with being a potato is that you can't feel anything. But most of my fellow potatoes experienced this so-called 'unicorn thing'. I call it unicorn thing because unicorns don't exist or at least that's what they tell me. It's also impossible for potatoes to have emotions. So why do I keep hearing experiences from other potatoes ending up happily ever after?
Mr. Chips, the owner of our favorite internet shop once told me about how he met his ex-wife and that was the time he knew it was the unicorn thing. Eventually, he forgot how feel it again and his wife left him. He always seems to be happy but I saw him crying once when he thought his customers left the shop and I was the only one there. It was kinda awkward so I just left without paying. And now I'm banned from entering the shop again along with a free poster of myself posted in front of the shop saying I did not pay-well thanks for making me famous Mr. Chips. There was this day when he told me I would experience this unicorn thing someday and I would find my 'unicorn' whether its a potato, a banana or anything. I'm looking forward to finding my unicorn.
He likes watching chick flicks, listening to Justin Bieber, One Direction and, Miley Cyrus. We laugh at corny 'yo mama' and knock-knock jokes together with Marley. Maybe that's why he likes Marley. They get along really well. After all, gaylords have feelings too.
What happens when you put a potato with bananas? I'll give you a hint: It doesn't turn into a banana.
This is my first day in Banana Land and I can't understand any of them. My parents sent me here thinking I could be trained to be a great french fry someday. After the next two weeks, I'll be studying at a local banana school. I miss my friends in Potato Town, Bob, Abby, Marley and Jack, They're my classmates at a local high school, Marley, Jack and I passed the entrance exam in University of Potatoes, a very nice school that accepts genius potatoes, Bob decided to study at a university near our school. And I won't be able to see them for a very long time.
It's really nice and convenient here in Banana Land, they have everything but unicorns. Although it's nice to go on a vacation, I can't imagine myself living here. Nothing can replace those stupid potatoes.

Mike Wilson is running for State Representative. His views, not those of Connie Pillich, best represent those of the district in which he is running. It makes no sense that The Enquirer endorsed her because she is most willing to accommodate beliefs that are not her own.

VALPARAISO | Two former assistant principals at Valparaiso High School are among the six-pack of candidates seeking to be appointed to the school board position now held by Mark Maassel.
Maassel was appointed by the Center Township Board, which will hold an executive session Wednesday to decide how to handle the selection process, whether to interview all six or to winnow the number down to a few finalists for the four-year appointment.
Township Board President Stephen Buck said Maassel, currently the president and chief executive officer of the Northwest Indiana Forum, has applied for another term.
The other five candidates are:
Stephen Cronk, a retired former assistant principal at the high school; Debra Fray, a former assistant principal and now an adjunct professor at Ivy Tech; Michelle Grossnickle, a self-employed landlord; Amy Cheuk, who has a masters in early childhood education, and Robyn Jakubowski, who has a communications degree and formerly worked for a not-for-profit.
After deciding how many candidates to interview, Buck said the three-member township board will conduct interviews at 7 p.m. June 20 at the Porter County Administration Center. All the candidates will be notified by mail and phone whether they will be among the finalists.
The Valparaiso City Council will select a board member to fill the position now held by Jim Jorgensen. Only three people qualified as candidates of those who filed applications, and all three will be interviewed Monday beginning at 4:30 p.m. at City Hall.
A second round of interviews will be conducted two weeks later prior to the council meeting at which the council will vote on the appointment. The council appoints four of the school board members, one each year, and the township has one appointment.
The terms of Maassel and Jorgensen expire June 30.

CD reviews
Cross-border collaborations (CD reviews)Three times makes it a trend, we journalists like to say. And so must announce that the big trend for 2009 in Canadian Jazz is hiring American heavies to boost the razzle-dazzle of recordings.
Fred Hersch's latest beautiful, intimate adventure (CD review)I've been looking forward to each new disc from pianist Fred Hersch since the pre-CD days, and his latest recording, Live at Jazz Standard, is a tremendously rewarding listen, ranking near the top among Hersch's impressive body of work.

Singers Unlimited (CD reviews)No more procrastinating -- today, I weigh in on a number of the many CDs I've received from jazz singers. I tend to put off listening to many of them because they strike me as overly formulaic.
Enough trombonists to change a light bulb (CD reviews)Several punchlines to the hoary joke are here. But before you skip away for the gags, here are reviews of five CDs -- all, naturally, by trombonists who are far from household names even in the jazziest of households, but who are making fine music.
James Danderfer: Inspired by ShanghaiI gave my first listen to James Danderfer's CD Accelerated Development without so much as a glance at his extensive liner notes. I really liked what I heard. Its mix of horns (Danderfer's clarinet and

Firefighters knock down Carmel Valley house fire
It took firefighters about a half-hour to knock down a Carmel Valley house fire Thursday that caused about $13,000 damage, a fire dispatcher said.
The non-injury fire in the 10900 block of Cloverhurst Way was reported at 7:45 a.m., according to a San Diego fire-rescue dispatcher.
Damage was estimated at $10,000 to the structure and $3,000 to its contents, she said.
The cause was under investigation.

text: Boston Bruins acquire Mark Recchi and Steve Montador Here's how the deals worked out. Boston gets Recchi and a 2nd round pick from the Lightning in exchange for Matt Lashoff and Martins Karsums. I like this move for the Bruins because we needed a left hand shot on the power play to replace the loss of Sturm and Recchi can be that guy. Lashoff and Karsums aren't a big loss because they most likely wouldn't have been on the team next year anyway. Boston gets defenseman Steve Montador in a trade with the Ducks today for forward Petteri Nokelainen. I like this move as well. Montador is a tough hockey player that is more of a stay at home defensemen but can join the rush if needed. He can also play forward if needed. Nokie isn't too much of a loss but he could maybe have played his way into the top 9 forwards next season. Boston has to go for everything right now though. Good deals all around, both players acquired have expiring contracts and we don't give up anyone that was going to contribute to the team this year and most likely next season.
