"I thought I had ordered my Christmas cards in plenty of time to get them and send them out before the Holiday Season. I was told they would arrive by Dec. 17th. When they still had not arrived on Dec. 20th and I saw they were still in production, I emailed the customer service dept. of Shutterfly. They were very helpful. Sped up my card production and had them shipped priority. Then came the glitch with Fed Ex. The cards were in MN the next day but didn't arrive at our house for four days. It was disappointing that I wasn't able to send my Holiday greeting cards before Christmas, but I was so pleased with the quality and Shutterfly's persistence to help me out and make me happy that it didn't matter. So our family and friends received our Christmas cards on the 5th day of Christmas. I'm sure they were able to spend more time looking at the beautiful quality of the card and enjoy it more than right before Christmas. I was very pleased. Thank you Shutterfly. Next year I will get them to you earlier."
"The personalized Christmas Cards, with choice of layout on the inside and out, are a perfect way to share Christmas greetings for friends and family. The cards have a professional look and the photo choices help personalize the card. I have used Shutterfly personalized Christmas Cards in the past and most who recieve them have told me that my cards are "Keepers". I have received numerous compliments on the cards. Friends and Family tell me they always look forward to my Christmas cards."
"I was very pleased with my card and especially happy with the speedy delivery even though it was close to Christmas!
"Love these cards. They look so elegant. Can't wait to send them out:)"
"I went with Shutterfly over other much less expensive options because they had the template I wanted to use. The delivery was good, the photo quality high, the paper quality exceeded my expectations. The fold however, was slightly off (approx 1/8 inch) Also, it was a two-sided card and the front photo did continue onto the back photo (approx 1/8 inch). If I wasn't on a time crunch, I would've considered having them redone. Overall, happy with product and just ordered three photo books for first time and not expecting any issues there."

Reviews for our Christmas Cards from our collection include
"I am very happy with our 2014 Christmas cards! This is our 1st experience w/Shutterfly & I'm thrilled! I used photo paper so it's exactly like a picture & the font I used on our 4x8 cards was 11 & 10 so it's easy to read on our cards. I chose pictures that were close-ups for the most part so it was easy to see who was in the picture but even the couple I chose that were a little further off were completely fine. Love these cards!"
"I ordered this not realizing it was foil stamped, and was afraid that the foil would be too obnoxious or sparkly. It is not. You can definitely see a "foil" effect, but it doesn't detract from the photo. The colors of the photo are rich and vibrant and it looks great!"
"Our cards arrived less than two weeks after ordering them, with plenty of time to sign them and mail them out. They are absolutely beautiful. We love them. The font size is a little larger than we expected and it looks a little off but nothing to get too concerned about. We are very pleased. I love using Shutterfly. It's easy to make calendars, cards, and books - and I'm not exactly technically savvy. I appreciate the polite and prompt email responses I get when asking questions, too. Love, love, love this website!"
"This card was absolutely beautiful; the colors were brilliant and the display of pictures were creative and perfect. I could not of had a more fantastic card. I made this card because I went to Ireland and wanted to select my favorite photos. My friend went to Ireland and so I am giving it to her for a gift for Christmas. She can frame it because it is a standard 5x7. Gifts don't have to be expensive when they are from Shutterfly!"

As my daughter lives in Hong Kong it is very difficult to get any info. I do speak with my daughter but as she is still in shock and recuperating it is not really appropriate to ask such questions. Would appreciate any help, advice and support during this trying time.

Matchmaker: Taylor Swift and Justin Bieber Should Go Into "Dating Detox," Jennifer Lawrence Should Date…
Patti Stanger calls herself The Millionaire Matchmaker, but there are some millionaire matches she doesn't want to make — like setting up either Taylor Swift or Justin Bieber.
Patti talked to Us Weekly about various newly single celebs, suggesting whom they should date next. Taylor dates for creativity, not love, Patti said, so "let's get her off the market and put her in dating detox." She had the same detox advice for Justin. Relationship rehab!
On the other hand, Patti said she'd love to see Bradley Cooper (recently split from Zoe Saldana) in a relationship with Jenny McCarthy. Patti also had advice for Bradley's Silver Linings Playbook co-star Jennifer Lawrence, who recently split from Nicholas Hoult.
Because J.Law likes British "tall, pasty, skinny types," Patti suggested she date ... Daniel Radcliffe? "He could totally financially take care of her — he's like a multimillionaire — and on top of it, he's serious with girls," Patti said. "I don't think he strays that quick. I think he would be able to handle her and not be intimidated by her success."
Yeah, we're gonna have to go ahead and disagree with that one. Love Dan, but he's anything but "tall." Plus, he's kind of got his own reputation as a player. And Jen doesn't need anyone taking care of her financially. That's probably not a priority. So we need other tall, dorky-cute British guys for her to date. Suggestions? Don't say Robert Pattinson!

text: This week's free featured download from Classical Music Library is Introduction and Rondo Capriccioso, op. 28 by Camille Saint-Saens. French composer Camille Saint-Saens has been compared to Mozart and this work is a relatively early composition from 1863. Saint-Saen's life spanned a particularly interesting period in music history, from a Romantic era in full swing in the first half of the 19th century to the revolution of "modern" music of composers such as Erik Satie, Claude Debussy, Richard Strauss, and Arnold Schoenberg around the turn of the 20th century. This recording is performed by the Orchestre Symphonie de Radio-Tele-Luxembourg under the direction of Hubert Soudant, featuring violinist Patrice Fontanarosa. Enjoy!

I might incur the wrath of some here but I have to say that my favourite characters of all were Big Jim and the Chef.
Some of Big Jim's dialogue had me laughing out loud (his "roast beef with Jesus" lines were pure quality when I mentally pictured the scene) and the Chef for the same reasons. I used to have a friend who was a little like the Chef (though I'm pretty sure he wasn't on the meth!) and I think that maybe certain fictional characters can become endeared to us if we can relate to them on some personal level.
One of Stephen's greatest skills is the way he creates depth with his characters and makes them unique.....I think in a novel like UTD, every reader will encounter a character who reminds them in some way of somebody they know, or used to know and that is one of the things that make this book so great.

It wasn't the game plan.
When Hall of Fame jockey Mike Smith hustled Palace Malice to the front Saturday in the 139th Kentucky Derby, it caught Dogwood Stable's president W. Cothran Campbell by complete surprise.
Palace Malice broke alertly but would set suicidal fractions of 22.57 for a quarter-mile, 45.33 for a half-mile and 109.80 for six-furlongs, and was 3 ½-lengths in front with a half-mile left in the race.
It appeared that Smith was trying to steal the race, but the bay colt couldn't sustain his speed and seemed to tire as the race went on, eventually finishing 12th.
The plan had been for Palace Malice to sit off the pace, in stalking position, to provide the multiple stakes placed colt with tactical options, but those plans never materialized.
An equipment change saw Palace Malice fitted with blinkers, which seemed to sharpen his performance on Saturday, but whether or not the son of Curlin continues to wear them will be a topic of discussion, said Campbell.
A busy spring itinerary saw Palace Malice make three starts in five weeks, and he will be given some time off, with the Preakess Stakes, the middle jewel of Thoroughbred racing's Triple Crown, not being an option, said Campbell.
"He'll be going to New York on Monday," said Campbell, in a phone interview Saturday. "The race pointed us in a new direction. He seemed to come out of the race fine, but we're going to give it a couple of days and let the smoke clear."
A number of options will be taken into consideration by Campbell, and Palace Malice's trainer, five-time Eclipse Award winner Todd Pletcher, for the colt's next start. A great deal of thought will be put into Palace Malice's next race, whether it be at Belmont Park or later in the year at Saratoga, said Campbell.
Saturday's rainfall and off track didn't seem to bother Campbell, based on Palace Malice's previous performace over a racetrack listed as sloppy.
"He trained well, and the horse had run terrifically in the slop at Gulfstream Park earlier this year, so we weren't concerned about the weather." said Campbell.

I recently purchased a jar of vanilla sugar (vanilla beans mixed with sugar! genius!) from penzeys spices. Sprinkled it on the top. They were so good. Will definitely be making these again. And again. And again.
Libby's new girly mitts designed by the very talented, Ali. Libby loves them and I loved making them. Go ahead, see if you can find a "girly" and yarn in your stash. (My "girly", age 12, was almost too big for this pattern.)
Of course, Libby didn't want cookies after school. Instead she wanted a bagel. With cream cheese and jam. I wanted pics of the mitts I made for my friend, Noreen. Uh oh. Sort of dangerous to photograph them with that food. But they made it through. Completely unharmed. I LOVE this pattern. For both mitts I used cascade 220.

In my previous post, "Set Up A Cacti Monitoring Server in Minutes with this GoGrid Community Server Image", I showed how to use a Community GSI to quickly and easily set up a monitoring server on GoGrid running Cacti. In this second part of the Cacti GoGrid Community GSI blog series, I would like to walk you through how I connected my Cacti server up to an Ubuntu server (a node in my Glusterfs file storage array). First we will review the objectives we are looking to achieve and then dive into each one.
- Confirm private network configuration on both Cacti server and Ubuntu server, and test connectivity.
- Enable SNMP server and configure SNMP rocommunity string on Ubuntu servers.
- Establish SNMP agent listening IP address
- Create "Device" in Cacti console and confirm SNMP connectivity to Ubuntu server
- Create Graphs – CPU usage, Load Average, Memory Usage, PING Latency, Processes, Eth0 Traffic, Eth1 Traffic
- Repeat process for other Ubuntu servers in your network.
Confirm private network configuration on both Cacti server and Ubuntu server, and test connectivity
On GoGrid, you have the ability to network your servers together over a private network allocated to your account. (Note: all private networking within GoGrid is free.) We need to take advantage of this secure communication method to allow your Cacti server SNMP access to your servers. I recommend you use the private network IP range that is specified in your account – under the "List" tab then "Network".

More than 1.8 million homes along the Gulf and Atlantic coasts are at great risk of being damaged by a hurricane, three times the number located in federally defined flood zones, according to a report released Tuesday.
The report by CoreLogic, a private real estate data firm, focused on the potential impact of storm surge, which is the indirect damage from water and flying debris triggered by strong winds. Roughly two-thirds of the homes cited in the report are located outside Federal Emergency Management Agency flood zones.
Storm surge can cause extensive damage when seawater breaks through structures and carries debris with it. That's what happened in New Orleans in 2005, when storm surge from Hurricane Katrina broke the levee system and flooded most of the city and surrounding parishes.
The homes most at risk are concentrated in Virginia Beach, Va., New Orleans, Tampa, Long Island, N.Y., and Miami. The report examined the exposure of a single home to storm surge in 10 U.S. metro areas. It used computerized models, which generated the probability of a hurricane hitting a particular area, residential density rates, elevation, levees and barriers and water depths along those coastal areas.
The report also looked at the damage caused by a storm's direct impact. Florida and Texas are the states most vulnerable to a direct hit. Corpus Christi, Galveston and Houston and Jacksonville, Miami, Palm Beach and Tampa were cited as facing the greatest risk in those states.
The areas potentially most affected by a Category 5 hurricane, the highest category storm with wind gusts of at least 156 mph, include the waterside resort city of League City, Texas, near Houston; the Palmetto and Perrine sections of south Miami, near Biscayne Bay; and the Tampa suburb of Port Richey.
Over the past decade, eight Category 5 hurricanes have made landfall from the Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico. The last one to hit was Hurricane Felix in September 2007, which left more than $700 million in damage and killed 133 people, mostly in Nicaragua.
New Orleans fared better this year than Florida and Texas, largely due to the city's efforts to rebuild levees and flood walls and install other "100-year" storm protections following Hurricane Katrina. But New Orleans, which sits mostly below sea level on the east bank of the Mississippi River and south of Lake Pontchartrain, is still listed as having a "high" probability for a hurricane.
Researchers at Colorado State University say there is a 72 percent chance that one major hurricane will hit the U.S. coast this year. Storm season in the Atlantic region lasts from June to November.

text: theBalm Meet Matt(e) Eyeshadow Palette ($34.00 for 0.33 oz.) contains nine matte eyeshadows named after theBalm's favorite Matts. It includes a small, dual-ended bristle brush, which is usable and better than sponge-tipped brushes that are often included in these kinds of palettes, but it wouldn't replace full-sized brushes for me. The palette is small, square-ish, and made out of heavy-duty cardboard. It flips open and has a mirror under the lid.

Vintage-inspired knitted cable knit tall sweater socks with ribbed topped hems. Has some elastic for stretch and comfortable fit. We love to layer with this pair!

*56% Acrylic, 18% Wool, 12% Polyester
Rated 4.3 out of 5Â by 30 reviewers.
Rated 2 out of 5Â by HAS2 Itchy I thought I'd give these a try because they are really tall socks which I love to wear in the winter with boots. There was no indication on the website regarding fabric so I was hoping they'd just be a normal cotton since generally FP fabrics are good. Unfortunately they're not. I believe they have some wool in them but I'm not sure. At any rate, I don't like itchy fabrics and these were not soft at all so I had to return them. I could easily see them being extremely annoying after 30 min of wear. If you're particular about fabric or have sensitive skin, I would steer you away from purchasing these. If fabric is of little concern to you, the overall style of the sock is still cute. 7.19.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by midsummerstars Fabulous! I am 5'9 and they fit me the same way as the model - just over the knee, with the top folded over. Warm and cozy too! But the best part?! They DO NOT fall down! LOVE!!! 5.28.2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by kgish So Very Cozy I love these guys! They are super soft ( not itchy) and are super super long even for me ( I am 5'9). Perfect with dresses boots and leggings. 12.12.2012
Rated 2 out of 5Â by gossamerdreams itchy and does not smell so good... Would not recommend, might be allright for layering ontop of heavier fabric, like jeans or cords, but not ontop of tights or ...glp...bare skin...its very very itchy, it has a chemical scent, not the fresh wool scent..not too cool. OK i am a wool snob. There, i said it! I grew up in northern Scandinavia, a climate where you need to keep warm during 2/3 of the year. I now live on the US NE coast, still needing to keep warm a big part of the year. I am very very wool sensitive to boot, so i have been shopping for wearable warmth all my life. Recommend to spend a few bucks more and spring for the popcorn so soft thigh high socks, these are high quality, beautiful color supersoft, with angora. Get those instead, you'll be so glad you did. 11.26.2012
Rated 1 out of 5Â by NewMexTex87 Itchy :((( I was so excited to get theses boot socks in & was devastated as soon as I tried them on bc they were so itchy from being a wool blend. So I had to return them :((( maybe they'd be O.K. if you wore tights under them. 11.17.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by eclecticgypsy Great with boots! I purchased these in the grey and love them. I am petite but have a more muscular calf and these fit just fine, not tight at all. I don't find these to be itchy however I am not sensitive to wool. Comfy and look so stylish with a tall boot. I love the top detailing of the socks. It is great that you can either slouch them or fold them over the top of the boot. Very happy with them. 9.21.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Amanta cozy Didnât wear them yet, but tried and fits my needs. Not thick, is good for me to wear with boots. I got grey color(looks like platinum) and love it! 8.27.2012

Wind Energy Technology
As the push for alternative energy gains strength around the nation and the world, companies are taking advantage of Wyoming's ample wind resources to develop and produce wind energy. Laramie County Community College recognizes the need to teach and train the workers who will maintain the wind turbines cropping up around the state.
About the Career
Wind Turbine Technicians perform general maintenance, operations and inspections on wind turbines and related facilities. They also perform general and site specific safety awareness, utilize personal protective equipment, conduct electrical troubleshooting, repair and replacement, follow specific lock out/tag out procedures, mechanical/power trains maintenance, hydraulic troubleshooting and demonstrate climbing proficiency. Technicians conduct visual blade inspection and physical blade repair, bolt torque testing and installation and testing of hardware and software and follow specific driving safety guidelines. (Job description from the U.S. Department of Labor.)
About the Program
Associate of Applied Science Degree
The Associate of Applied Science degree in Wind Energy is designed for students who want to gain valuable industry skills while pursuing a basic academic foundation. General education requirements, industrial maintenance knowledge and skills, and specific wind power industry topics are combined to provide the groundwork for direct industry employment.
Associate of Science Degree
The Associate of Science degree in Wind Energy with a concentration in Wind Power Technology is designed for students who want to gain valuable industry skills and a strong academic foundation. General education requirements, industrial maintenance knowledge and skills, and specific wind power industry topics are combined to provide the groundwork for both industry involvement and future academic programs.
- Great job outlook
Wind energy is one of the fastest growing fields today. Wyoming has wind resources capable of utility-scale production, according to the U.S. Department of Energy, but the state also has a shortage of wind technicians.
- State-of-the-art training
We strive for as much hands-on training as possible through the our one-of-a-kind wind energy lab, which offers an operational nacelle, hub and superior climb safety/tower rescue simulator. We follow American Wind Energy Association industry standards.
- Support from the local/state/national community
Turbine maintenance companies such as the AES Corporation, Babcock and Brown, GE Wind, and Energy Maintenance Service have expressed their approval of the program. The college also has received encouragement from the Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Laboratory, the Wyoming Business Council, and Gov. Dave Freudenthal's Energy and Telecom Advisor, Rob Hurless.
Importance of Wind
Using wind power on a large scale means that less fuel (mainly natural gas and coal) is used for electricity generation, which lowers the price of fuel. If wind were to generate 20% of U.S. electricity by 2030, nationwide use of natural gas use would decline by an estimated 11%, and natural gas consumers (home heating, industrial use) could see savings of $86 billion to $214 billion. This saving alone offsets the incremental investment of $43 billion in wind turbines and additional transmission lines, according to the DOE report on 20% wind by 2030.

American Institute of Mathematics last week. Ce Bian and Andrew Booker from the University of Bristol showed the first example of a third degree transcendental L-function.
L-functions underpin much of twentieth century number theory. They feature in the proof of Fermat's last theorem, as well as playing a part in the recent classification of congruent numbers, a problem first posed one thousand years ago.Read more...

Mathematical physicist wins 2008 Templeton Prize
The 2008 Templeton Prize has been awarded to Polish mathematical physicist Michael Heller. Heller has worked for more than 40 years in theology, philosophy, mathematics and cosmology, and intends to use the £820,000 prize to set up a cross-university and inter-disciplinary institute to investigate questions in science, theology and philosophy.
16th century depiction of Genesis (Michelangelo, Sistine Chapel): God creates Adam. Like Galileo, Heller thinks that mathematics is the "language of God."
The Templeton Prize was founded in 1972 by philanthropist Sir John Templeton, and is awarded annually to a living person for "progress toward research or discoveries about spiritual realities". It is the world's largest annual monetary prize of any kind given to an individual (£820,000). Plus reported on John Barrow's success in 2006.
Heller has been rewarded for "developing sharply focused and strikingly original concepts on the origin and cause of the Universe, often under intense (communist Poland) governmental repression."
Heller's work these days is largely in non-commutative geometry, which he uses to attempt to remove the problem of a cosmological singularity at the origin of the Universe. "If on the fundamental level of physics there is no space and no time, as many physicists think," says Heller, "non-commutative geometry could be a suitable tool to deal with such a situation."
You can read more on non-commutative geometry in the Plus article Quantum Geometry.

Physical demonstration of mathematical traffic model
Recently, Plus reported on work done by mathematicians from the Universities of Exeter, Bristol and Budapest into why traffic jams often occur for seemingly no reason.
Now, for the first time, researchers from several Japanese universities have recreated this effect by placing 22 vehicles on a 230-metre single-lane circuit. The drivers drove at a steady 30 kilometres per hour, and whilst initially the traffic flowed smoothly, eventually a backwards travelling shock-wave developed which forced some cars to almost stop and others to increase their speed to 40 kilometres per hour to catch the car in front.
Watch the video below, which comes from the New Scientist channel on you-tube. You can read more about this in the original New Scientist article.

Beyond Measure: Conversations across art and science is a new exhibition at Kettle's Yard, Cambridge that explores how geometry is used by artists and astronomers, engineers, surgeons, architects, physicists and mathematicians — among many others — as a means to explain, understand and order the world around us.
Built around a series of workshops, talks and discussions, Beyond Measure will offer many different ways of engaging with geometry, and many different views of the world we live in. The exhibition draws parallels between the artist's studio, the laboratory and the study as equivalent places for thinking, imagining and creating.Read more...

Have you ever attended a Royal Institution Mathematics Masterclass?
If you have, then the Royal Institution of Great Britain would like to hear from you.
Since 1981 the RI Masterclasses in Mathematics have been enriching school maths for 12 to 14 year-olds. Now the RI is for the first time undertaking an independent evaluation of the programme. "This is a very exciting opportunity," says Sara Santos, Clothworkers' Fellow in Mathematics at the RI, "We are seeking to further improve our already successful programme, even perhaps reshape it to challenge and enthuse our finest young minds."
If you have participated in any of the RI Mathematics Masterclasses for Young People (any time between 1981 and now), you can now record your memories and reflections in this on-line questionnaire. The questionnaire takes around 15 minutes to complete. "It might be a precious amount of time for you, but your feedback is invaluable for us," says Sara. "We are also trying to keep in touch with the Masterclasses community." To keep in touch, please visit the RI website, email the RI on email@example.com, or join the group RI Mathematics Masterclasses for Young People on Facebook .

I was born, raised and educated in Germany, receiving my engineering degree in architecture from the Technical University at Darmstadt. Since 1990, I have worked as an architect with Zen Center, together designing and completing approximately 10 projects, in Tassajara, Green Gulch and at Greens Restaurant. In addition to working with SFZC, my firm, JSWD Architects, has worked extensively with a number of other spiritual communities: Spirit Rock Meditation Center, Abhayagiri and the Berkeley Society of Friends. Another important focus of our firm's work is affordable and senior housing.
I consider myself very fortunate in having worked with Zen Center for all these years because it has taught me, among other things, how to listen closely, work in a mindful way within a diverse community and be aware of one's own expectations.
I also served on the board of the Zen Hospice Project for a number of years.

Gov. Nikki Haley is set to make a significant capital investment announcement today in Columbia, one that will create a number of jobs in the area.
The announcement is expected at 9:30 a.m. Haley will also talk about a new recycling goal for the state.
These announcements are a part of RecyclonomicsSC Legislative Day, the goal of which is to raise awareness among South Carolina's political leaders and citizens about the positive economic contribution of the recycling industry, according to a media advisory from the Clare Morris Agency.
RecyclonomicsSC is a nonprofit organization formed to increase recycling in South Carolina in order to improve the economy of the state. By recovering materials from the general public and industry alike, recycling sparks economic growth and can help create new jobs.
Investment in recycling is on the rebound. Last year, the S.C. Department of Commerce helped recruit 770 jobs and $463 million in capital investment within the recycling industry involving companies such as U.S. Fibers in Edgefield, Grace Plastics Inc. in Greenville, Nucor Corporation in Darlington, Pratt Industries in Spartanburg, and LowCountry Biomass LLC in Jasper.

Both are healthy now, but I don't even want to look at them right now. It's a constant reminder that Ashton should be here with them. I have never felt so hopeless in all my life. I can't eat. I can't sleep, but yet all I want to do is sleep the rest of my life away. I have her lifeless body etched forever in my mind. Tomorrow I will be able to hold her one last time at the viewing. I don't think I can give her back to watch her be put into the ground. Billions of things are runing through my mind. Is she cold? Is she afraid? I realize these are ridiculous thoughts, but I can't get rid of them. Help?
