Paraview is a open-source visualisation application that is able to utilize multiple CPU cores and multiple graphics cards. It has a client-server architecture to facilitate remote visualization of datasets, and generates level of detail (LOD) models to maintain interactive framerates for large datasets. ParaView 2.6 is installed on the remote visualisation server, We just compiled ParaView 3.4.0 and it will be available soon - we're working on it!.
Please note: At the moment volume rendering does not work reliably in the parallel version. However, it works in the serial version.
ParaView provides many tools for scientific visualization but the most commonly-used are
- isocontouring: finding curves or surfaces in space where a function takes on a single value,
- clipping: removing some spatial region from a dataset,
- volume rendering: drawing a scalar function defined over a volumetric region of space with some translucent appearance so that the interior of the dataset can be observed,
- cutting: intersecting a dataset with another (usually lower-dimensional) curve or surface,
- thresholding: removing some region of a dataset based on the value of a function defined over space,
- Subsetting: removing data to reduce its size with minimal impact on its visual appearance (this is most commonly used for structured grids), and
- picking: selecting a single point or cell in order to inspect function values associated with it.
Although it was initially intended mainly for use with unstructured grids, ParaView can represent data in structured grids.
Documentation: Besides the online help there is a ParaView wiki and a ParaView FAQ page.
Please note: A number of empty windows will pop up when ParaView renders in parallel. Please do not close these windows! Just leave them in the background. ParaView will crash if one of the windows is closed.
Please note: Using more CPU cores will speed up numerical operations on the data and e.g. operations like isosurface extraction. However, the parallelization overhead may reduce the rendering speed. Therefore — depending on the data size and how the data is visualized — the serial version may even be faster than the parallel version.
Please note: Due to paraviews client-server concept, there is no reasonable configuration for two graphics cards. If you reserve two GPUs and run Paraview, only one GPU will be used. If you reserve three or more GPUs, all of them will be used, unless you specify the "-onegpu" option when starting
RUN.paraview or
vnc-paraview.sh. This may be useful, because:
Please note: Volume rendering works in the serial version and also in the parallel version, if not more than one GPU is used. When more GPUs are used, Paraview crashes. This problem is under investigation...
PyMOL (molecular visualization system)
PyMOL is a (user-sponsored) molecular visualization system on an open-source foundation. PyMOL 0.99rc6 is the latest version that is installed on the remote visualisation servers.
It is well suited to producing high quality 3D images of small molecules and biological macromolecules such as proteins. According to the author, almost a quarter of all published images of 3D protein structures in the scientific literature were made using PyMOL.
PyMOL is one of few open source visualization tools available for use in structural biology (another one being VMD, which is also available on the remote visualisation servers). The Py portion of the software's name refers to the fact that it extends, and is extensible by the Python programming language.
If you use PyMOL to create images or movies for your publications, please use the following citation:
DeLano, W.L. The PyMOL Molecular Graphics System. (2008) DeLano Scientific LLC, Palo Alto, CA, USA. http://www.pymol.org
Documentation: Can be found on the PyMOL wiki. The page also offers several tutorials. Demo files are included in PyMOL (click on Wizard->Demo).
R is a free software environment for statistical computing and graphics. R comes with a huge number of libraries for every purpose imaginable. It has very powerful functions and easy-to-learn syntax. With a few lines of code you can import, manipulate and interactively visualise your data, and easily create publication-ready images.
R provides a wide variety of statistical (linear and nonlinear modeling, classical statistical tests, time-series analysis, classification, clustering, and others) and graphical techniques. R is designed around a true computer language, and it allows users to add additional functionality by defining new functions. Much of R's system is itself written in the language, which makes it easy for users to follow the algorithmic choices made. For computationally-intensive tasks, C, C++ and Fortran code can be linked and called at run time. Advanced users can write C code to manipulate R objects directly.
R is also highly extensible through the use of user-submitted packages for specific functions or specific areas of study. Due to its S heritage, R has stronger object-oriented programming facilities than most statistical computing languages. Extending R is also eased by its permissive lexical scoping rules.
Another of R's strengths is its graphical facilities, which produce publication-quality graphs which can include mathematical symbols. R has its own LaTeX-like documentation format, which is used to supply comprehensive documentation, both on-line in a number of formats and in hard copy.
R has its roots in statistics, but its extensibility, ease-of-use and powerful graphics makes it ideal for users looking for alternatives to applications like IDL or MATLAB (which are both also available on the visualisation servers via the module system - type 'module avail' at the prompt to see what software is installed; follow this link for more information).
To get a quick overview of the abilities of R, use the following commands on the remote visualisation server:
rvs1:> rvrun -d 1 R
> library(rgl)
> demo(rgl)
Documentation: The R home page offers links to Manuals, FAQs, Books and a Newsletter. There is also an R Wiki.
Vapor is the Visualization and Analysis Platform for Ocean, Atmosphere, and Solar Researchers (VAPOR). The software is based on wavelet transformation, which makes it extremely fast and responsive in day-to-day visualisation applications. It provides (quoting from the vapor website):
- A visual data discovery environment tailored towards the specialized needs of the geosciences CFD community.
- A desktop solution capable of handling terascale size data sets.
- Advanced interactive 3D visualization tightly coupled with quantitative data analysis.
- Support for multi-variate, time-varying data.
- Close coupling with RSI's powerful interpretive data language, IDL.
- Support for 3D visualization of WRF-ARW datasets.
If you use Vapor to create images for your publications, the developers ask you to cite them as follows:
For journal articles, proceedings, etc.:

VisIt is an open-source visualisation application that is able to utilize multiple CPU cores. VisIt 1.11.1 is the latest version that is installed on the remote visualisation servers (VisIt 1.6.1 is still available on rvs1).
VisIt is an open source interactive parallel visualization and graphical analysis tool for viewing scientific data. It can be used to visualize scalar and vector fields defined on 2D and 3D structured and unstructured meshes. VisIt was designed to handle very large data set sizes in the terascale range and yet can also handle small data sets in the kilobyte range
Features of VisIt include:
- Rich feature set for scalar, vector, and tensor field visualization. VisIt handles 2D and 3D data equally well. VisIt also has the ability to animate data, allowing users to see the time evolution of their data.
- Provides qualitative and quantitative visualization and analysis. VisIt provides support for derived fields, which allow new fields to be calculated using existing fields. For example, if a dataset contains a velocity field, it is possible to define a new field that is the velocity magnitude. It also supports a generalized query interface, which allows you to query derived quantities such as volume or surface area.
- Supports multiple mesh types. VisIt provides support for a wide range of computational meshes, including two- and three-dimensional point, rectilinear, curvilinear, and unstructured meshes. In addition, VisIt supports structured AMR meshes and CSG meshes.
- Powerful, full-featured graphical user interface. VisIt's graphical user interface allows novice users to quickly get started visualizing their data, as well as allowing power users access to advanced features. It automatically creates time-based animations from data sets that contain multiple time steps. In addition, it also has a keyframe animation capability that allows users to create sophisticated animations. VisIt allows users to pan, zoom, and rotate objects interactively using the mouse. It also gives users the ability to interactively size and position geometric objects such as planes and spheres.
Parallel and distributed architecture. VisIt employs a distributed and parallel architecture in order to handle extremely large data sets interactively. VisIt's rendering and data processing capabilities are split into viewer and engine components that may be distributed across multiple machines:
- Viewer is responsible for rendering and is typically run on a local desktop or visualization server so that it can leverage the extremely powerful graphics cards.
- Engine is responsible for the bulk of the data processing and input/output. The engine can be run serially on a single processor or in parallel on (up to) thousands of processors.
- Interfaces with C++, Python, and Java. The C++ and Java interfaces make it possible to provide alternate user interfaces for VisIt or allow existing C++ or Java applications to add visualization support. The Python scripting interface gives users the ability to batch process data using a scripting language. This feature can be used to create extremely sophisticated animations or implement regression suite.
- Extensible with dynamically loaded plug-ins. VisIt achieves extensibility through the use of dynamically loaded plugins. All of VisIt's plots, operators, and database readers are implemented as plugins and are loaded at run-time from the plugin directory. New plugins can be added simply by installing them in this directory. VisIt comes with a graphical plugin creation tool, which greatly simplifies the process of creating new plugins.
Documentation: Can be found on the VisIt documentation page. Additional information can be found in the VisIt users wiki.
VMD (Visual Molecular Dynamics)
VMD is a molecular visualization program for displaying, animating, and analyzing large biomolecular systems using 3-D graphics and built-in scripting. VMD supports computers running MacOS-X, Unix, or Windows, is distributed free of charge, and includes source code. VMD 1.8.6 is the latest version that is installed on the remote visualisation servers.
VMD is an extremely powerful tool to analyse, visualise and create publication-ready images and movies of just about any molecular system. It has built-in support to download structures from the protein data bank (PDB - will not work for HLRB-II users on rvs1 due to firewall settings!).
If you use VMD to create images or movies to be used in your publications, the developers ask you to cite the use of VMD. Follow this link for details.
VMD is developed and maintained by people from the same university that also develop NAMD, a powerful and extremely scalable code for molecular dynamics simulations. NAMD is available on HLRB-2 and the Linux-Cluster via the module system ("module load namd"). VMD can be used to connect to a NAMD simulation to perform interactive molecular dynamics (IMD). For details, please read the documentation on the NAMD and VMD home page.
Documentation: Can be found on the VMD home page. The page also includes tutorials and demo files.

DUI sentencing: 3 generations of a family 'robbed in so many ways'
An alcoholic, unemployed electrician who killed a couple and severely injured their daughter-in-law and baby grandson in a vehicle-pedestrian accident has been sentenced to 18 1/2 years in prison.
Seattle Times staff reporter
The repeat drunken driver who killed a couple — and critically injured their infant grandson and his mother — was being led back to jail after receiving an 18-year prison sentence when he stopped to offer a quiet, private apology to Dan Schulte and Karina Ulriksen-Schulte.
Mark Mullan, 51, had said nothing in court as Schulte and others spoke of the grief and horror of the day when Mullan, drunk in the afternoon, drove his pickup into the family out for a stroll on a sunny March day in Seattle's Wedgwood neighborhood.
Dennis and Judy Schulte, who had just bought a home in the neighborhood to be close to their son's family, died on impact. Karina Ulriksen-Schulte and baby Elias were critically hurt.
Mullan was photographed sitting on a curb with sheet-draped bodies in the roadway.
On Friday, Mullan appeared to listen carefully while Schulte described the grief of losing his parents and the agony his wife has endured in her long and ongoing recovery. He told the judge it's possible Elias, now 8 months old, might be brain damaged and blind as a result of his injuries.
Mullan was given a chance to plead for leniency before Superior Court Judge Barbara Linde, but he declined. He saved a private apology for the Schultes.
Dan Schulte declined to comment on the sentence.
"Work is not the same, home life isn't the same," Schulte told the court Friday. "Karina will never likely be able to work as a nurse again at Seattle Children's hospital."
Judy Schulte, 68, and Dennis Schulte, 66, retired schoolteachers who also lived part time in Indiana, were out for a walk March 25 with Ulriksen-Schulte and Elias when Mullan's pickup barreled into them on Northeast 75th Street.
They were 500 feet from Dan Schulte and Karina Ulriksen-Schulte's home.
Mullan failed field sobriety tests and had a preliminary breath-alcohol level of 0.22 percent, nearly three times the state's legal limit of 0.08 percent, shortly after the crash.
At the time, he was under the supervision of Seattle Municipal Court because of a previous drunken-driving arrest. He had defied a court order by failing to install an interlock device on his pickup.
Elias, born 10 days earlier, suffered skull fractures and a brain injury and underwent emergency surgery for injuries to his liver and intestines, according to court documents. Ulriksen-Schulte suffered a crushed pelvis and later developed blood clots that caused a stroke and led to brain damage.
Karina and Elias spent months in a hospital.
Elias was eventually released but is struggling with vision problems and will require additional surgery around his first birthday. Ulriksen-Schulte returned home this month.
Lisa Schulte, Dan Schulte's cousin, said her dear friend Ulriksen-Schulte is not the same.
"Although the light is still there, it is dimmed," she said. "This family has been robbed in so many ways."
Marilyn Schulte said her parents' deaths left a huge hole in her life. Judy and Dennis Schulte were committed to family and improving the lives of children in need. They even founded a food bank.
"My parents were really good people," Marilyn Schulte said. "We don't know what the future is ... we will make something beautiful of this tragedy."
On Oct. 3, Mullan pleaded guilty to two counts of alcohol-related vehicular homicide; two counts of alcohol-related vehicular assault; and violating the state's ignition-interlock law.
Linde sentenced Mullan to a nearly 18-year prison sentence that the defense and prosecution agreed upon as part of a plea deal. Linde tacked on an additional four months for the ignition-interlock violation, a gross misdemeanor.
"He's not a monster, he's not a murderer," defense attorney Jesse Dubow said in court. "Mark's not here making excuses. His remorse was real, authentic."
Mullan's twin brother, Mike, and sister-in-law, Amy, apologized in court to the Schulte family.
"The brother I wish you could have known is the brother I grew up with in Lake City," Mike Mullan said. "It has truly broken our hearts this is where our brother has ended up."

Oh my flip what a night – Diva Q Jack Daniels Fundraiser
Well. Where do I begin. How about with a BIG Thank you.
It was an awesome night for a fundraiser at the Charlotte Room. It was a wonderful venue for this event. Can't wait to go back. We all had an excellent time. It was amazing to see so many folks come out. I loved every moment of it. I was truly humbled by the support. Vlad and I cooked for a week before the event to make sure we had enough food for everyone. Right up until 230 am the day of the event I was still in the kitchen and let me tell you it was worth it!!
I first of all have to thank my Jack Team. They have been working really hard towards this fundraiser for a long time. Behind the scenes they plugged our event ran around and got things did more than you can imagine.

If it wasn't for all their hard work we could not have put on this fundraiser. Or the support of all our sponsors listed above. I am really grateful for the help. You are only as good as the people that are with you in life and I tell you I am one lucky chick.
I have to say a HUGE thanks to all who came by from near and far. The dynamic duo from Team Eatapedia John Thomson and Paul Firlotte even came all the way from Ottawa to show their support. I adore the entire team. They are good freaking funny people.

I tried to get around to everyone and I think it was near impossible. I did however get to chat for a bit with my BBQ Brother Ted Reader. It was only fitting that we toasted with a shot of Jack Daniels -
Diva Q & Ted Reader toasting with Jack Daniels
The team set up as much food as humanly possible at the Buffet. Mike Miller from Big Bone BBQ ran the kitchen for the evening. I could not have done it without him and Vlad they never stopped with Patrick and Jessie running everything to floor and raffle tickets too! Jason kept the prime rib cut and Jamie ran the door (and poker) with Jennifer and Jeff G. (My friends who came early helped set up and helped anywhere and everywhere) There was prime rib, chicken, ribs, pulled pork, beans and our legendary mac & cheese which almost caused a riot when it ran out. (*Seriously I promise to make 8 trays of this next time) I love Buster Rhinos BBQ products and a lot of it was used in our BBQ. There were abt's and pig candy brownies and cakes too! With all of the buffet and everything taken care of I could actually talk with people. This was truly terrific.

There was so much laughter it was infectious. Nothing makes me happier than seeing a room full of happy BBQ eating folks. Many thanks to Scott & Tania from Culinary Adventure Co. for hosting our online ticket sales and all their help with their donations. I know I will be taking some of their classes and food adventures in the near future!
There were lots of prizes and raffles to be had including a very generous donation from Traeger Canada their Traeger JR with a digital temperature control !! thanks so much to all of our donors. There was an incredible assortment of BBQ products and foodie gifts galore!

So from now till the Jack I have 2 more contests and I will practice and then when I think I am done practicing I will practice more.
We are all set now to do our very best to represent at the Jack Daniels World Invitational BBQ. We are going up against the best in the world. I can't wait. Thanks to all of you who came out sent support and helped us get there. You are all freaking awesome.

Yesterday I had the opportunity to attend the Ontario Gas BBQ's Media Day. Ontario Gas BBQ is one of my all time favorite places in the world. They have so much stuff. So many BBQ's. I have to show extreme self restraint every time I go. I want to buy everything. They also are the largest BBQ store in the world. Unfortunately the day was cold and wet. Ugh. But the grills never stopped the beer was flowing and the media were all about….
Their BBQ showrooms are incredible. They carry everything you can imagine and more….
So many BBQ's ……………….
There was a great selection of BBQ Companies there to demo their products and to provide tastings..Traeger's menu for the day was ABT's Grilled Asparagus with a curry aioli, and hot & fiery chili dipping sauce, pulled pork sliders, Bacon Bombs (Ill be posting about those next week!!) and of course a little bit of chocolate heaven. All done on Traeger BBQ's
Celebrity BBQ & grilling chefs Ted Reader (Teds BBQ World) and Rob Rainford (Food Network- License to Grill) were also on hand making some incredible food (pulled pork and foie gras burgers from Teddy!- so decadent)
Rob looking as stylish as ever and he always has the megawatt smile.
Here is a picture of Ted's Ass bending over his grill. You can see it is a much smaller ass now. He has lost a lot of weight.
I have no clue what he was looking for here. You never know with Teddy what will happen next.
I got to try some of his new Apple Brown Betty Grilling Sauce (and I forgot to bring my bottle home) it was damn good. Go get some.
For some serious comedy please watch this video of us chatting after the show on Teddy's weight loss secrets – they are truly inspirational.
Heres a link to some of the media coverage from yesterday. It was a really fun day !! Thanks to the folks at Eventrix for organizing the entire event.

" This motorcycle brigade itself is guilty of taking away the freedom of citizens to ride safe and unhindered on the roadways. They caused the original problem when the one rider was tapped as they restricted the free movement of all other citizen's on the roadway. They themselves caused the horrific injuries of their fellow rider by bullying the man and his family with their vehicles instead of freeing up the roadway, driving appropriately according to established road laws, and not infringing on the freedom of the rest of us to use the roadways safely. We have freedoms, but your freedoms end at the point where you infringe on another citize's right to enjoy same. "

Seattle Presents Gallery
Seattle Municipal Tower, at the corner of 5th Avenue and Columbia Street
Seattle Presents brings the city's cultural vibrancy to the Downtown core. Here the City will present a variety of immersive installations, curated exhibitions pulled from the City's Portable Works Collection, resident artists, and original artworks. Seattle is a city driven by creativity. This space will present both emerging and established artists and curators, and will attempt to provide all who pass by the opportunity to engage in diverse arts and cultural experiences.
Current Exhibition
Seattle Presents: Alison Foshee
November 17, 2014 — January 16, 2015
The Gallery will be staffed on Wednesdays and Thursdays from 11 a.m. — 2 p.m. (excluding the weeks of Nov. 24, Dec. 22 and Dec. 29)
The Seattle Office of Arts & Culture is proud to announce the latest exhibition in the new Seattle Presents Gallery space located at the base of the Seattle Municipal Tower with regional artist, Alison Foshee. The exhibition will feature a visual explosion of extravagant floral arrangements, created out of common office supplies such as thumbtacks, staples and labels. Exploring the potential of everyday office materials, Foshee relishes the challenge of finding new meanings in objects that have become banal. In the process, she reveals something about the material's original function that informs its new shape and content.
Upcoming Exhibition
Seattle Presents: Juan Alonso-Rodríguez
January 19 — March 20, 2015
I recently had a dream my job was designing swimming pools based on my client's favorite shapes and colors, so I've decided to temporarily make that dream come true.
I will be asking for simple drawings of what you (willing participants) would imagine your ideal swimming pool to look like and will create various sized paintings based on the audience's input. The finished paintings will gradually fill the walls of the gallery.

RABBI WOLF OF ZBARAZ had a stern sense of justice. Far and wide he was famed as an incorruptible judge. One day, his own wife raised an outcry that her maid had stolen an object of great value. The servant, an orphan, tearfully denied the accusation.
"We will let the Rabbinical Court settle this!" said her mistress angrily.
When Rabbi Wolf saw his wife preparing to go to the Court he began putting on his Sabbath robe.
"Why do you do that?" she asked in surprise. "You know it is undignified for a man of your position to come to Court with me. I can very well plead my own case."
"I'm sure you can," answered the rabbi. "But who will plead the case of your maid, the poor orphan? I must see that full justice be done to her."
WHEN THE TIME CAME for naming their firstborn son, a husband and wife began to wrangle with each other. She wanted to name him after her father; he wanted to name him after his father. Unable to agree, they went to the rabbi to referee the dispute.
"What was your father's name?" asked the rabbi of the husband.
"And what was your father's name?" the rabbi asked the wife.
"Also Nachum."
"Then what is this whole argument about?" asked the puzzled rabbi.
"You see, rabbi," said the wife, "my father was a scholar and a God-fearing man, but my husband's father was a horse-thief! How can I name my son after such a man?"
The rabbi pondered and pondered. It was indeed a ticklish matter; he didn't wish to hurt the feelings of the husband. So he said, "My decision is that you name your son Nachum and leave the rest to time. If he becomes a scholar, then you will know that he was named after his mother's father. If, on the other hand, he becomes a horse-thief, it will be clear that he was named after his father's father."
THE MASTER SAT AT THE crossroads quietly drinking his tea. A traveler approached from the west, a young gentleman obviously in a hurry to complete important affairs.
"You there," he called to the master, "How long will it take me to get to the city?" The master sipped his tea, and regarded the young gentleman in silence.
"I asked you a question, old one," the young gentleman repeated, hands on his hips. "How long will it take me to get to the city?" The master took another sip of tea, set the cup down. His expression changed not at all.
"What's the matter with you?" fumed the young gentleman. "Are you deaf, or just stupid? Bah!" He waved his hand at the master and started off down the road.
"One hour and twenty minutes," called out the master. The young gentleman spun around. "Why didn't you say that in the first place?"
The master smiled. "I couldn't tell you how long it would take until I witnessed how fast you could walk."
(How long will it take to accomplish anything? It depends...)
A CLEVER SMUGGLER came to the border with a donkey. The donkey's back was heavily laden with straw. The official at the border was suspicious and pulled apart the man's bundles till there was straw all around, but not a valuable thing in the straw was found. "But I'm certain you're smuggling something," the official said, as the man crossed the border.
Now each day for ten years the man came to the border with a donkey. Although the official searched and searched the straw bundles on the donkey's back, he never could find anything valuable hidden in them.
Many years later, after the official had retired, he happened to meet that same smuggler in a marketplace and said, "Please tell me, I beg you. Tell me, what were you smuggling all those years?"
"Donkeys," said the man.
A COMPETITION WAS UNDERWAY at the Monastery and all the monks were quite eager to do well. The Master had pointed out a very special tree that stood in the woods surrounding the monastery grounds and the monks had been asked to write a story or poem about this tree.
This tree was indeed very special. The uniqueness of the blossoms was that they covered all the colors of the rainbow. It was simply breathtaking.
Over the next few days, the monks all arrived to delight in the company of this great tree. Each with his book and pencil, eager to transcribe into words the impact of the mesmerizing beauty of the wonderful tree. Poems, lavish descriptions and inspired stories were abounding. Much to the astonishment of the others, however, the wisest monk, Tara would come to keep company of the great tree in the very early morning hours of the day, when the earth was still enveloped in the darkness of the receding night. This of course meant that the great beauty of the iridescent, blossoms was not visible.
"What a fool," they other monks concluded. "Her story will not capture the incredible beauty of this tree; it will lack inspiration and be empty of feeling and passion."
Finally the day arrived when the winner was to be announced and all the monks, in heavy anticipation, gathered in the great hall. The Master, unhurried as always, floated into the great hall and sat on the speaker's stand. He looked around the hall till he found his favorite disciple, Tara, and smiling softly, bowed deeply to her. Then he got up and started to leave.
The flabbergasted monks of course immediately realized that once again Tara had proven to be the wisest, but what had she written? One monk unable to bear the question shouted out,
"Master, at least tell us what Monk Tara wrote, which led to her to winning this competition,"
The great master smiled and said,
"Go ask the tree!"

Although my birthday falls in the middle of summer, I always felt bad for my friends born around the big holiday season. We all know these are the kids who generally have to either have a holiday birthday party, or just sort of get "overlooked" with all of the holiday shuffle. Their birthday gifts mingle with the Christmas ones, and there really is no unique birthday celebration.
Recently, a friend related to me that her mother always insisted on having her December birthday party be the annual Christmas party. She longed for a summer birthday party, and even ended up donning a sundress one year for the annual birthday/Christmas party. Her mother was completely appalled, but it says something about those kids having parties in December. They would really like to have their own celebration that is detached from the holiday business. Even if it isn't possible each and every year…it is good to shake things up a bit and throw a unique party in December. As much as the birthday kid will appreciate it, the guests will enjoy as well.
What are some themes you could try:
- Have a faux summer beach party ~ indoors of course. Have the kids bring a summer change of clothes to change into when they arrive. The guests will find the mixed-up seasons loads of fun.
- Throw an Around the World party, and focus on those countries in the southern hemisphere that are actually in the middle of their summer. It will be a great party, and educational too!
- Think about your kid's interests and do a party completely around a favorite character, book, or hobby. Something not at all related to the holidays. As an example, your kid might love to bowl. Enjoy a bowling outing. This has nothing to do with the holidays and will be an excellent party theme.
Although the holidays are always so stressful and busy…planning ahead of time for a birthday party completely unrelated to a holiday theme will be quite manageable, especially if you take it to an outside party venue. You may not be able to do it every year, but the one or two times you throw such a unique party at the height of the holiday party season will be greatly appreciated!

Finley Dresser 1 1
Lovely Dresser The Finley Dresser is a great piece of furniture. It looks rustic and nice. The assembly was a bit of a challenge, taking me (suggests 2 people but I did it alone) almost four hours. The directions are simple but lacks some detail so make sure to pay attention to the direction of the drawers and make sure they're on the correct way or the alignment will be off. Other than the challenges with assembly the dresser is awesome! May 31, 2013

Comments about Cowhide Leather Uptown Backpack:
Mostly thrilled with the roominess and sturdiness of this backpack that can take the abuse It gets from constant use.
I am disappointed that the snap closure catches on the buckle, and since I rec'd it on the sixth of January, has already begun to pull out of the leather. An otherwise sturdy bpack is diminished by this flaw.

Suppose one of your key employees leaves your company and goes to work for a competitor. That's bad enough in itself, but what if your former employee takes more than his or her talent and experience? What if that employee knows all your trade secrets: your formulas, suppliers, techniques, customers and contacts?
"In an information-based society, a company's greatest assets take the form not of, say, iron ore fields, but of information," says Robert Linn, an attorney with Cohen & Grigsby in Pittsburgh who specializes in the protection of intellectual property and trade secrets. Failure to protect those secrets, Linn says, can mean the loss of everything from key customers to confidential processes and techniques--the very information that gives your company a competitive edge in the marketplace.
The law treats trade secrets as property, which is illegal to steal. "There's a [growing] recognition of the value of trade secrets," Linn says. "And there's an increasing effort by the courts to fashion rulings allowing companies to retain their trade secrets."

Drones on Trial: Pakistani Court Deals Blow to CIA's Deadly Airstrike Campaign
Photo Credit: Gwoeii/ Shutterstock.com
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
Adding fuel to a long-simmering dispute between the U.S. and Pakistan, a Peshawar High Court declared CIA drone strikes illegal on Thursday, referring to such attacks in Pakistan's tribal belt as "war crime(s)".
The court called for its nation's "use of force, if need be" to prevent further civilian deaths from U.S. drone strikes. It also ordered Pakistani delegates at the U.N. to bring forth the issue with the Security Council, where Pakistan is currently a non-permanent member.
Chief Justice Dost Muhammad Khan, who presided over the case, cited a litany of broken international laws and agreements, ranging from the U.N. Charter to the U.N. Millennium Declaration and the Geneva Conventions. He also called for the U.S. government to redress Pakistani civilian victims of U.S. drone strikes, and for U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon to establish a war crimes tribunal to investigate further injustices.
However, Masood Khan, the permanent representative of Pakistan to the U.N., did not address the topic of U.S. drone strikes in his statement on counterterrorism to the Security Council today, despite the Peshawar ruling.
Philip G. Alston, a former U.N. Special Rapporteur on extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary executions, told IPS, "There is an important symbolism in the findings of the Peshawar Court."
Alston applauded the court's determination to highlight the fact that the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency's (CIA) drone strikes are inconsistent with international law. However, he noted, the legal reasoning behind the ruling was not "impeccable".
"I doubt that either the (U.S.) or Pakistani governments will be moved by the far-reaching orders issued by the court," he said, "but the message being sent is nonetheless an important one."
Muhammad Khan's sweeping judgments on May 9 came two days before his country's presidential elections. Mirza Shahzad Akbar – a legal fellow at Reprieve and a Pakistani lawyer who defended victims in the Peshawar case – referred to the High Court's decision as a "landmark judgment".
He stated in a press release, "This judgment will also prove to be a test for the new government: if drone strikes continue and the government fails to act, it will run the risk of contempt of court."
In 2010, Akbar assisted the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) in a terrorism case involving a Pakistani diplomat. But their relationship turned sour when Akbar and his legal charity, the Foundation for Fundamental Rights, decided to sue the CIA for launching a drone strike on Mar. 17, 2011 that killed a group of Pakistani civilians
When Akbar planned a trip form Pakistan to New York in June 2011 to speak at Columbia Law School, the U.S. State Department initially refused to grant him a visa.
In February 2013, U.S. President Barack Obama pledged in his State of the Union address to make his counter-terrorism strategy – including the "targeting, detention, and prosecution of terrorists" – more legally accountable and transparent.
Asked if Obama had held true to his words, Brett Kaufman, the National Security Fellow at the American Civil Liberties Union's (ACLU) National Security Project, told IPS, "No. Despite repeated promises from President Obama and the new CIA director John Brennan and the Attorney General Eric Holder during a hearing before the Senate, the (Obama) administration has not taken any efforts to increase transparency."
Asked if there was any pressure from the legislative or judicial branches to curb executive powers over U.S. targeted drone strikes, Kaufman said, "I think the best example of legislative pressure came before and during the confirmation hearing for John Brennan, the CIA director."

BAGHDAD/ Aswat al-Iraq: Ex-Kurdish premier Barham Saleh expressed his concern on the continuation of the crises in Iraq, pointing "if these are not confronted, the country will end into party or national catastrophe, which will affect not only Iraq but the region as a whole.
During his meeting with Kuwaiti media delegation, currently visiting Kurdistan, he pointed out that the responsibility will "cover all components because they share it".
He stressed that the Kurds will abide by the constitution and the Iraqi National Project.
Saleh denied charges that the Kurds want to be separated from Iraq.

The use of synthetic pesticides and herbicides to control insect and weed pests has posed substantial problems due to their persistence in the environment, insect resistance and high mammalian toxicity. On the other hand. plant-de1ived insecticide are more readily biodegraded, less likely to contaminate the environment and less toxic to non target organism.s. Hence, the search for new sources of such compounds from plants has gained popularity amongst researchers. A screening procedure far the presence of bioactive compounds from plant sources by using brim: shrimp as the general bio assay has been can;ed out and a number of plant species has been identified for further detailed studies. The crude extracts and purified samples were further tested using other more specific bioassay methods.

The Oregon school board on Thursday approved the resignation of Superintendent Dr. Michael Zalar, who is leaving to take the position of superintendent of the North Olmsted City Schools District in North Olmsted Ohio.
Zalar became superintendent of the Oregon City Schools District in 2008. Previously, he was principal of Clay High School for five years.
The North Olmsted school board on Wednesday approved a three year contract with Zalar, effective Aug. 1. He will receive an annual salary of $132,500 in his new job. In Oregon, his annual salary was $119,000.
School board member Jeff Ziviski said after the meeting that the board will hold a community forum at the Clay High School library at 7 p.m. on June 3 to discuss filling the superintendent position.
"We want to get the public's input, before we start looking at resumes and interviewing candidates, on what qualities they want to see in a new superintendent," said Ziviski.
Community Health Services is ready to unveil its newest facility to the public.
The Fremont-based health care system will hold an open house June 1 from 1-4 p.m. at its location at 5734 Fremont Pike in Stony Ridge.
Joe Liszak, chief executive officer of Community Health Services, said the Stony Ridge facility will be the ninth office CHS is operating in Henry, Seneca, Huron, Sandusky, and Wood counties.

Telepresence robot delivers corporate messages while you relax remotely
Most robots rolled out today are long on futuristic aesthetics, but fall short on practicality, such is not the case with the immediately accessible Jazz telepresence and telesurveillance robot.
Designed by France's Gostai, the regular Jazz Connect ($10,400) is suited for providing support for businesses, while the Jazz Security ($11,000) will watch your home or office while you're away. Adding a customizable aspect to the unit, the robot runs on the company's open source Urbi software. You can see the robot in action in the video below.

lavender bundle in your wardrobe to freshen up
your clothes.A loop of dried
lavender flowers can even be slipped under the seat of your
