Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/l2bldr/global_data) has announced the addition of the "Global Data Center Ethernet Switch Market 2012-2016" report to their offering.
TechNavio's analysts forecast the Global Data Center Ethernet Switch market to grow at a CAGR of 14.34 percent over the period 2012-2016. One of the key factors contributing to this market growth is the increasing virtualization in network environments. The Global Data Center Ethernet Switch market has also been witnessing the evolution of data traffic profiles. However, the declining equipment prices could pose a challenge to the growth of this market.
The key vendors dominating this market space are Cisco Systems Inc., Hewlett-Packard Co., IBM Corp., and Juniper Networks Inc.
The other vendors mentioned in the report are Alcatel-Lucent SA, Avaya Inc., Brocade Communications Systems Inc., Dell Inc. (Force 10), Enterasys Networks Inc., Extreme Networks Inc., Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd., and Oracle Corp. (Xsigo Systems).
Commenting on the report, an analyst from TechNavio's Data Centers team said: ''Data traffic profiles have transitioned from asymmetric e-mail messages and low bandwidth client-server computing applications to large data traffic, latency sensitive and high bandwidth intensive computing applications. Currently, network latency has gained precedence over data accuracy and even 10 millisecond differences can win or lose customers. In the data centers, highly complex data traffic moves in a random order between storage, internet, servers, and intranet. Moreover, there are varieties of traditional and advanced data intensive applications including Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), storage access, emerging converged I/O, etc. This data traffic is increasing rapidly and increases exponentially if any unexpected event occurs across the globe. For instance, the data centers in financial institutions are flooded with data traffic in any major up- or downturn in the capital markets.''
According to the report, one of the main growth drivers is the increasing virtualization in network environments. Virtualization has increased deployment of multi-core and blade server platforms resulting in consolidation of storage environments. Virtual networks can be programmed, bonded to workloads, and are scalable to demand.

Developing software for the Internet of Things (IoT) comes with its own set of challenges. Security, privacy, and unified standards are a few key issues. In addition, each IoT product is comprised of at least three separate application components: the software embedded in the device, the backend big-data service, and the mobile application for the end user's controls. Each component is developed by a different team, using different technologies and practices, and deployed to a different stack/target - this makes the integration of these separate pipelines and the coordination of software upd...

You have your devices and your data, but what about the rest of your Internet of Things story? Two popular classes of technologies that nicely handle the Big Data analytics for Internet of Things are Apache Hadoop and NoSQL. Hadoop is designed for parallelizing analytical work across many servers and is ideal for the massive data volumes you create with IoT devices. NoSQL databases such as Apache HBase are ideal for storing and retrieving IoT data as "time series data."

Clearly the way forward is to move to cloud be it bare metal, VMs or containers. One aspect of the current public clouds that is slowing this cloud migration is cloud lock-in. Every cloud vendor is trying to make it very difficult to move out once a customer has chosen their cloud. In his session at 17th Cloud Expo, Naveen Nimmu, CEO of Clouber, Inc., will advocate that making the inter-cloud migration as simple as changing airlines would help the entire industry to quickly adopt the cloud without worrying about any lock-in fears.

WebRTC is about the data channel as much as about video and audio conferencing. However, basically all commercial WebRTC applications have been built with a focus on audio and video. The handling of "data" has been limited to text chat and file download – all other data sharing seems to end with screensharing. What is holding back a more intensive use of peer-to-peer data? In her session at @ThingsExpo, Dr Silvia Pfeiffer, WebRTC Applications Team Lead at National ICT Australia, will look at different existing uses of peer-to-peer data sharing and how it can become useful in a live session to...

Mobile messaging has been a popular communication channel for more than 20 years. Finnish engineer Matti Makkonen invented the idea for SMS (Short Message Service) in 1984, making his vision a reality on December 3, 1992 by sending the first message ("Happy Christmas") from a PC to a cell phone. Since then, the technology has evolved immensely, from both a technology standpoint, and in our everyday uses for it. Originally used for person-to-person (P2P) communication, i.e., Sally sends a text message to Betty – mobile messaging now offers tremendous value to businesses for customer and empl...

OPEN DOORS, OPEN MINDS: SYNAGOGUES AND CHURCHES STUDYING TOGETHER A 67th Biennial Initiative
During the past several years most of us have been exposed to more anti-Semitic discourse than we have encountered in our entire lives. We find it today in right-wing nationalism and left-wing anti-globalism, in radical Islam and reactionary forms of Christianity. In the 1950s and 60s, Reform Judaism was at the forefront of interreligious dialogue in North America. But in recent decades, interfaith work has declined precipitously; in many communities, little survives beyond Thanksgiving services and model seders.
We can no longer afford relations that barely exist. The Union has joined with four Christian denominations in calling for dialogue and has prepared the Open Doors, Open Minds curriculum. Congregations are asked to join with a church in the community and commit to seven sessions at which adult learners will come together to learn about common aspects of our history and about critical distinctions; to engage in joint study of sacred texts; and to participate in a structured conversation concerning Israel and the Middle East conflict.
We are pleased to announce Open Doors, Open Minds II. Expanding and deepening the relationships established in the first program, this new curriculum addresses social justice issues from a religious perspective. By focusing on shared values and a commitment to making the world a better place, participants will gain a new understanding of both their own and one another's religious tradition.

There is a push afoot to grant women the unrestricted right to serve in combat positions. I can think of one female Sailor who had the strength (quite easily) to serve on the frontline. But she was a head-case, which would make her prohibitive for such a position. I'm also not a fan of what 1st. Lt. Colleen Farrell did, getting the ACLU involved:
I respect all our female service members, including the ones I disagree with. Like Army Staff Sgt. Jennifer Hunt. Who was a true hero in Iraq when her Humvee hit an IED:
"I'm trying to get rid of the ban with a sharp poke," said U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Jennifer Hunt, who was among the plaintiffs in the latest lawsuit and was injured in 2007 when her Humvee ran over an improvised explosive device in Iraq.
Hunt and the other three women said the policy unfairly blocks them from promotions and other advancements open to men in combat. Three of the women are in the reserves. A fourth, Marine Corp Lt. Colleen Farrell, leaves active duty this week. . .
American Civil Liberties Union Ariela Migdal, who represents the four women, said Panetta's actions weren't enough. She called for an end to the combat ban. "These tweaks and minor changes on the margins do a disservice to all the women who serve," she said.
"It falls short," she said. "It is not enough."
Marine Corps Capt. Zoe Bedell said she left active duty, in large part, because of the combat exclusion policy. Bedell said she was frustrated that her advancement in the Marines was blocked by her inability to serve directly in combat units.
The lawsuit is taking an interesting path to reach the courts. By alleging that women are already serving in combat:
The lawsuit also alleges that women are already serving unofficially in combat units.
Air National Guard Major Mary Jennings Hegar sustained shrapnel wounds in 2009 when she exchanged fire on the ground in Afghanistan after her Medevac helicopter was shot down. Both she and Hunt received Purple Heart medals for their injuries.
The lawsuit was assigned to U.S. District Judge Edward Chen, an appointee of President Barack Obama.
We shall see, Shipmates. We shall see. The Israelis had some interesting studies on this. And pullups for females were finally added to the Marine Corps PT test. I will give the last word to Capt. Katie Petronio: We as an institution are going to experience a colossal increase in crippling and career-ending medical conditions for females.

love taste, hate cost
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I just never got the bang for the buck from these. I love the taste and they do work as all gels but nothing special happened for me when using them. I would stick to a large dispenser product and put into flask. Way cheaper. 3/5 b/c of costs.
great product
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
These provide ample energy and taste great. They are a little thick so drink plenty of water with them. nice,sustained energy!
Thomas Ogasawara
These things may not taste the best, and downing one is like trying to swallow a couple table spoons of honey, but they sure are effective! They do what they're meant to.
Caleb Efta
actually worth the money
I know these things are expensive, basically $2 a shot. that's not cheap by any stretch of the imagination. But these babies are well worth it come race day.
I tested them out first on a 50k training run, and i noticed that i felt better than usual. I never really hit a physical or mental low. Of course that's not just because of roctane, but still...i was intrigued.
My final test was last week at the VCU 50 miler. It's a beast of a course with 10k feet of vert. I used roctane, chomps, and a few normal GU's. When I took a Roctane,within 10 minutes I could feel the difference. My brain was sharper and less fatigued.
The only thing i've noticed is that they seem to 'burn out' faster than the old GU's. I found that after about 30-40 minutes I had to take in something else. The race went well, I came in 4th.
I strongly believe that nutrition is one of the main reasons I ran well. Roctane isn't a magic pill, but it IS worth the money.
Buy it people!
oh yeah, most of the flavors taste ok. nothing amazing in my opinion.

Week two of the Sabres coaching search is underway, and as of Monday no candidates have emerged other than Ron Rolston.
Sabres GM Darcy Regier said last week that he would focus initially on Rolston and the staff following the Sabres season ending news conference last Monday. Regier followed that by telling the Rochester media that a decision on the Buffalo coaching situation would be made "fairly soon."
Rolston went 15-11-5 after taking over on an interim basis this season after Lindy Ruff was fired. He has a reputation through his time with USA Hockey, and at the collegiate level for being a very good teacher and developer of young talent.
As of Monday afternoon, a Sabres spokesperson said there was "nothing new to report" on the coach search.

SMITHFIELD — The future was on display for Cumberland on Thursday afternoon inside Smithfield High's gymnasium, and judging by the way the Clippers performed in its non-league game against Woonsocket, the future looks very bright for the program.
Freshman guard Julianne Ross delivered her second 10-point output in as many games and sophomore guard Taylor Fay and Sarah Marsland had solid performances as well in the Clippers' 39-23 victory over the Villa Novans in the opening game of the 27th annual R.I. Board of Officials/Smithfield Boosters Club Holiday Classic.
The Clippers, who rolled out a starting lineup that included two freshmen, two sophomores, and one of their four senior captains, Kait Engels, broke out to a quick 10-0 lead and never looked back in boosting their early record to 2-0.
"This is a very talented group," Cumberland coach Deb Engels noted of her underclassmen. "The majority of them came from North (Cumberland Middle School) and they won a lot of state championships there, so they're used to winning, and that carries forward. They play hard, they work hard, and they're a great group of girls."
Engels gave a dozen players quality time on the floor over the course of the contest and kept her starting five on the bench with a little over eight minutes left in the game and the Clippers holding a comfortable 32-16 command.
While Ross, who also dished out five assists and added three of the Clippers' 13 steals in the game, enjoyed a strong game, so did Fay, who added six points and two steals, and Marsland, who didn't score, but came through with four steals and three assists.
And the veterans also came to play. Junior forward Caitlin Cotter (eight rebounds) and Engels each tossed in six points, and another senior captain, Allie Baglini, contributed nine rebounds.
As for the Villa Novans, the youth movement is also under way, as they are fielding a 12-player team with just one senior, only a handful of returnees from last winter's one-win squad, and most of its numbers in the junior and sophomore classes.
One of those juniors, power forward Aveanne Osagie, had a superb afternoon that included 10 points, 13 rebounds, five blocked shots, and three steals, and another 11th grader, Tayla Sevigny, had six points, but the rest of the day's news wasn't that good for Woonsocket.
The Villa Novans committed 34 turnovers, double the number that the Clippers ended up with, and seven came in the first 5 1/2 minutes of play when the Clippers grabbed their 10-0 lead.
The Novans cut their deficit to six (18-12) at the break and managed to climb to within four (20-16) in the first 1:35 of the second half on back-to-back layups by Osagie. But the Novans couldn't buy a point for the next eight-plus minutes, and that allowed Cumberland to extend its lead to 16 and give its starters the rest of the afternoon off.
"We definitely have a lot of work to do," added Engels, "as I'm sure everybody does, but I still like what I have and what I can work with. I have a lot to teach them and they have a lot to learn, but they're more than willing to do what's needed."
The Clippers will return to action on Saturday at 3:30 p.m., as they will play either Lincoln or Mount St. Charles in the title game of the tournament's Blue Division. After that game, the Clippers and Villa Novans will renew acquaintances in their Division I-North opener on Friday, Jan. 3 at 7 p.m. at the Clippers' Wellness Center.

Based on prior studies on the role of chemo-radiation in the management of patients with locally advanced rectal cancers (LARC), there has been a consistent increase in local control in favor of chemo-radiation. The goal of this study was to evaluate the benefit of concurrent chemo-radiation when given in the pre-operative setting.
Materials and Methods
Author's Conclusions
Clinical/Scientific Implications
This is a very important trial with regard to the management of LARC. Pre-clinical and clinical data have shown the importance of integrating chemotherapy into the treatment course for LARC. Radiotherapy has also shown an advantage with regard to local control. A combination of both modalities in the post-operative setting as shown by NSABP R01 clearly gives a benefit in local control. However, treatment toxicities have been found to be lower with pre-operative CT-RT vs. post-operative CT-RT. The standard now is to give pre-operative CT-RT when possible to patients with LARC. The German trial showed a benefit in local control and sphincter preservation, however, this trial fails to show a benefit in sphincter preservation, but continues to show improved local control rates. Of note is that the patients enrolled in this FFCD 9203 trial prior to 1999 did not all undergo a total mesorectal excision (TME) which is the recommended surgery. 301 patients were enrolled from 1999-2003 and all underwent TME. It is unclear whether this may have changed the findings in anyway. Future directions in this field then entail further investigations with targeted therapy and cytotoxic agents in order to improve OS in these patients with LARC.

I have bought these for use with my elderly mother for years with good results, but my last purchase of two 150 count boxes has been a disaster. Something has happened to quality control. My items were not marked factory seconds but all had bare and thin spots that allowed urine to seep through, absolutely defeating the purpose. We've had to use two at a time, one under the other, and still had leaking issues. We'll be looking for another brand.

A new era of Blue Hen football began at the University of Delaware in 2013 led by head coach Dave Brock.
Brock, a native of Moorestown, N.J. and a veteran of 22 collegiate seasons as an assistant coach, became just the fifth head coach of the Blue Hens since 1940.
The University has produced six national championships, five national runner-up finishes, 20 NCAA Tournament appearances, 20 Lambert Cup trophies, three College Football Hall of Fame head coaches, and numerous All-Americans and National Football League players during that time.
Highlighted by an exciting offensive attack and formidable special teams play, the Blue Hens found success in Brock's rookie campaign in 2013 as Delaware produced an overall record of 7-5 and earned a fifth place finish with a 4-4 mark in the rugged Colonial Athletic Association. Delaware earned votes in The Sports Network Media Top 25 Poll every week during the season, peaking at the No. 15 spot on Nov. 4.
Delaware jumped out to a 7-2 start that included big victories over No. 14 James Madison on Sept. 28 and a thrilling 32-31 last minute triumph over eventual NCAA FCS national runner-up Towson on Nov. 2. Two of Blue Hens' five losses came by just three points or less and the squad was an impressive 5-2 at Delaware Stadium.
A total of nine Blue Hen players received All-CAA notice led by defensive tackle Zach Kerr, who earned All-American notice and an invitation to the East-West Shrine All-Star Game and the National Football League Scouting Combine.
Kerr (Indianapolis Colts) was one of three Blue Hens to sign NFL free agent contracts following the season, joining defensive back Travis Hawkins (New England Patriots) and offensive tackle Erle Ladson (Oakland Raiders).
Delaware scored 30 or more points eight times and ranked No. 2 in the CAA in scoring offense (31.2 points per game) and No. 3 in passing offense (240.0 yards per game). On special teams, the Hens led the CAA in net punting, blocked punts for and against, and punt returns.
The Blue Hens posted a record of 6-6 in 2014, including a 30-23 overtime win at James Madison and a 31-28 victory at Albany. James Madison later advanced to the NCAA Tournament. The Hens fell just short of a major upset in the season finale, falling to No. 6 ranked Villanova 35-28 in the final minutes of play.
Delaware was led by a pair of All-Americans in tight end Nick Boyle and punter Eric Enderson along with first team All-CAA wide receiver Michael Johnson. Boyle, one of the nation's top tight ends, played in the prestigious Senior Bowl and was selected in the fifth round of the NFL Draft by Baltimore in May. Enderson led the CAA and ranked No. 4 in the NCAA in punting average (44.9 yards per punt).
"I'm thrilled to welcome Dave Brock to UD," said then University of Delaware President Patrick T. Harker in making the announcement on Jan. 18, 2013. "Dave has substantial coaching experience at some highly competitive schools and has nurtured an impressive roster of players. Just as importantly, Dave has a strong reputation for integrity and caring leadership. I think our student-athletes will thrive with him as their coach and mentor. And I know Dave will benefit from working with such a talented and committed group of young men."
Brock, 48, came to Delaware after serving one season as the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach under coach Kyle Flood at Rutgers University. In 2012, Rutgers posted a 9-4 record, won a share of the Big East title, and advance to the Russell Athletic Bowl. Prior to Rutgers, Brock coached at Boston College, Kansas State, North Carolina, Temple, Hofstra, Salisbury State, and Western Connecticut State.
"When we started this search process to begin a new chapter in our football history, we received tremendous interest from around the country," said University of Delaware Director of Athletics and Recreation Services Eric Ziady. "The interest speaks so highly of our University and of our football program's rich tradition. In the end, it was clear that Dave Brock has the character, the experience, the passion, the recruiting skills, and the leadership qualities that will enable him to lead our program to championships on the field and success off the field."
"The opportunity to coach at a place with such a storied tradition, in the footprint of where I grew up and where I have coached most of my life, is an honor for my family and I am humbled by the opportunity," said Brock. "The University of Delaware represents excellence in academics and athletics and I want to thank President Harker and Eric [Ziady] for inviting me into the family."
The New Jersey native's coaching career includes stops at North Carolina, Temple, Hofstra, Kansas State and Boston College. He has been an offensive coordinator for seven of those seasons and has mentored many current NFL standouts, including Hakeem Nicks (Indianapolis Colts), Josh Freeman (current free agent), Jordy Nelson (Green Bay Packers), and Marques Colston (New Orleans Saints).
Brock was also instrumental in recruiting quarterback Dave Shinskie, a one-time Delaware recruit who came to BC after a career in professional baseball. Despite being picked to finish last in the ACC's Atlantic Division in preseason media voting, the 2009 Eagles finished with an 8-5 record and came within one win of playing in a third consecutive ACC Championship Game.
Brock spent the 2008 season as Kansas State's offensive coordinator and wide receivers coach after coaching the wideouts in 2007. Kansas State ranked 18th nationally in passing (269.6) and 19th in scoring offense (34.9) under Brock's leadership.
As offensive coordinator at Kansas State, Brock spearheaded a Wildcat offense that produced the 2008 Big 12 Offensive Newcomer of the Year in wide receiver Brandon Banks and Kansas State's most prolific passer in school history in quarterback Josh Freeman. Banks set a Wildcat junior record with 67 receptions and 1,049 yards while Freeman became Kansas State's career leader in passing attempts, completions, yards, touchdowns and total offense in 2008.
In 2007, Brock tutored Kansas State's Jordy Nelson, who was a consensus All-American and Biletnikoff Award finalist, as well as Big 12 Offensive Newcomer of the Year Deon Murphy. Nelson, who became the Wildcats' first-ever offensive consensus All-American, ranked second in the nation in receptions (10.2) and receiving yards per game (133.8) en route to setting 11 Kansas State receiving records.
Kansas State, which set school records for passing yards, completions and attempts in a season, also ranked 20th nationally in passing offense (285.4) and 21st in scoring offense (35.2). The Wildcats finished the season with a 3,000-yard passer, a 1,600-yard receiver and a 1,000-yard rusher for the first time in school history.
Prior to Kansas State, Brock spent two years at North Carolina, where he served as the Tar Heels' assistant head coach/recruiting coordinator and wide receivers coach. In 2005, Jarwarski Pollock became the all-time leading receiver at Carolina with 177 catches.
In 2006, Brock coached wide receiver Hakeem Nicks to honorable mention freshman All-America honors by The Sporting News as Nicks set UNC freshman records with 39 receptions for 660 yards and four touchdowns.
Before coaching at North Carolina, Brock was the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach for three seasons at Temple. In 2004, Temple ranked third in the Big East in rushing, generating 173.0 yards on the ground per game.
Brock served in various roles during seven seasons at Hofstra from 1995 through 2002, including running backs coach (1995), wide receivers coach/recruiting coordinator (1997-99), offensive coordinator (2000-01) and associate head coach (2002). In 2000, Hofstra finished the year ranked No. 7 with a 9-4 record.
He played linebacker at Ferrum (Va.) College before earning a bachelor of science degree in political science from Salisbury (Md.) State University in 1994.
Brock and his wife, Karen, have five children - Henry, William, Richard, Kate, and Maggie.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Louise2014 Beautiful style and workmanship I like it; but did not realize soft cup means no support. May 21, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by retiredover60 Love, love This is second one. First ordered in black. So comfortable. Latest purchase in beige, not on sale but glad I bought. April 16, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Alaskajuneau Not very structured I thought the bra top of this camisole would be more structured and would provide coverage - which it does not. It is pretty and soft but not what I was looking for - particularly for the price. Sending it back. February 12, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Gr8fulgirl Good camisole Does run large- but I can make it work. I wear a 36b bra and got the camisole in 36 B and the cups are big. Otherwise I like the camisole. I'll probably wear it more in the summer when I don't want bra straps showing. November 3, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by mountaingal Beautiful cami! This is my first HP cami and I am not disappointed. It is very comfortable, soft, not scratchy, and gorgeous. A bit pricey but got it on sale so am happy. I wear a 32B bra and both the XS and S fit but decided to go with the XS because the fabric stretches so easily. My husband loves it too! March 23, 2013

Working with property keys and animation handles
You can use property keys and animation handles to control every level of animation manipulation. While creative and detailed work often takes place on the canvas at the object level, you can use the Animation panel to make more refined changes to your animation. Specifically, you can add, delete, and move keys or handles to change the behavior of your animation at the following levels:
- Layer: A layer handle controls all child object handles and property keys in the same frame. Moving a layer handle along the timeline, for example, adjusts all property keys present in the given frame for all objects on the selected level.
- Object: An object handle controls all child property keys in the same frame. Moving an object handle along the timeline, for example, adjusts all property keys present in the given frame for the selected object.
- Property: A property key controls a single property.
On the Animation panel, layer handles and object handles appear as down arrows, while property keys appear as yellow keys.
When you animate a property, the property will have multiple keys across the timeline—at minimum, you must specify a starting value and an ending value at different points along the timeline to animate a property. A clock icon is displayed next to the property name to indicate that it has been animated.

Alter Bridge guitarist & vocalist Mark Tremonti sat down with the guys at MusicRadar.com to discuss in-depth each track on the bands forthcoming album 'Fortress'. Mark had this to say about the records opening track 'Cry Of Achilles';
"When Myles and I were throwing ideas back and forth, he played me a fingerpicked bit on a nylon-string guitar. It was really great, and I just said to him, 'Man, we've got to use that for an intro or incorporate it into one of the songs somehow.'
"We kind of put it on the back burner - things like that always seem to happen - but it was too good to forget about. The bulk of the song came about in pre-production; we sat down for a few days and worked on it, and in the end we felt like we caught lightning in a bottle.
"Myles and I both take solos in the song. He takes the first one, the more elastic solo, and I take the second one. He's a great improvisational player; his bends and vibrato are so striking. My solo is more 'stingy,' I guess, which is a nice complement to what he does."

'Fortress' is released in the UK on 30//09//2013

We believe in adventure, the kind you can't just buy off the peg. Snorkeling in Galapagos, hiking through Patagonia, eating tapas in the barrios of Seville. The kind that starts with those curious enough to seek it, who come back from their travels feeling more alive than when they left.
Start exploring: Latin America » | Spain »
Choosing a holiday - surely up there with one of life's great pleasures? So why follow the same path everyone else does when taking your well-earned trip? We like to experience places a little more deeply, even when they're better known.
Sometimes, it's good to feel small. Because as much as we love the hustle and bustle of Buenos Aires, there are other pleasures to be had in places where it feels like no other human has ever set foot.
As any explorer knows, one of the joys of travelling is finding those places that aren't in any guidebooks. But when life is busy and time is short, it's time to rely on like-minded people for help. Which is where we come in.

The University of Texas Libraries have unveiled a quartet of posters featuring icons from The University of Texas at Austin with a goal of getting kids of all ages to pick up a book (or e-reader).
Taking part in the American Library Association's READ promotion, the Libraries worked with University Marketing and Creative Services to produce a series of four posters featuring the "Hook 'em" mascot and Bevo reading in unexpected places.
A first run of the poster sets have been distributed to all 655 schools in the Texas Education Agency's Region XIII area, which includes Austin and Independent School Districts in the surrounding counties.
The Libraries hopes this initial experiment is successful enough to expand the project's reach to a greater audience in the future.
The campaign is meant to encourage reading at an early age in order to improve core competencies in literacy, which would have a likely outcome of increasing incoming student preparedness for potential future University of Texas undergraduates.
The READ promotional campaign began in 1985, with the first poster featuring comedian Bill Cosby. Since then, over 150 notable personalities have provided their portrait as endorsement of the program to inspire readers.
A full set of the posters is available for download as a PDF file here.
The Libraries are no longer able to sell READ posters due to a request from ALA.
You can now purchase READ posters in the University of Texas Libraries TxShop at the link above. The $28 (+ tax, except for tax exempt organizations) will go to furthering the campaign to the next generation of Longhorns. Hook 'Em Horns!
I love these! I've loved the ALA read posters ever since I was a little girl, in the middle school library staring up at the Antonio Banderas and Enrique Iglesias posters telling me to read. These are too great! I hope there are more coming.
These are tremendous! As a member of the Alumni Band, of course I'm partial to the band poster. How can I purchase either one or all of them? When do you anticipate having them for sale? What a great gift for any UT grad who is teaching. Hook 'em!
Thanks for the praise, Kathy. We're awaiting word on the TxShop setup, and expect it to launch very soon, so keep checking back.
This is awesome. Can't wait to purchase a poster! Great promotion University of Texas Libraries.
I love the posters! Our librarian has made a display case featuring them, and gave the extras to teachers who wanted them. They were a wonderful surprise!
Is there a way that a Texas teacher can purchase these posters? My second grade students would love them.
I understand they were distributed in the Austin area, but I would really like a set of them.
Thanks for the comment and inquiry, Trudy. We're currently working on setting up a way to purchase the posters, and hope to have them available in the next two weeks.
Thank you for the motivating posters!
Thanks for the support, Marcy. Keep reading and Hook 'em Horns.
I love this! Is it possible to get some of these posters for my classroom? I work in region iv, title 1. This would be great for me to continue to encourage my students to not only read, but to go to college! Great Campaign! Hook'em!
Hey, Kristy. Thanks for the comments and inquiry. Thanks to the success of this experiment, we hope to expand our distribution in the next phase to additional regions. Meanwhile, we're also investigating the best way to allow the purchase of the poster sets through our site. Keep checking the Libraries Facebook page and website for updates on our plans.
Every school in the state should have access to these! I teach in a lower SES school and would love to encourage reading with my alma mater mascot! These are awesome! I would even buy them if given the opportunity.
Thanks, Melinda. We really want to reach all the students in the state with this campaign, and hopefully the success of this first phase will allow us to do so in the future. We'll have more news about the purchase option in the coming days.
I love these posters. As a retired librarian and an avid Longhorn fan I would love to purchase them for framing. How soon will they be available to the public?
Hey, Connie. We're working hard to get the TexShop site up right now so that these will be available to anyone wishing to purchase a set. We're projecting that the site will go live within the next 7-10 working days, and we'll make sure news gets out as soon as it happens through the University of Texas Facebook page, and here on our site, so keep your eyes open and Horns up.
Is there any update on the availability? I have many teachers asking to get these! Thanks!
Oh-so-close, Stephanie. We expect to make an announcement on Monday...possibly earlier....
Hang tight and Hook 'em.

VIENNA, Va. (WUSA) -- Each Veterans' Day leaves us fewer World War IIheroes to tell the amazing stories of the greatest generation.
But in Vienna, one of the most vibrant vets is still telling remarkable tales.
"It's been a great Veterans Day," says Richard C Kirkland, 89. His life sounds more like a movie.
He flew with some of World War Two's greatest aces... He knew Charles Lindberg and Howard Hughes... he met Eisenhower and MacArthur.
He shot down a handful ofJapanese Zeroes."As I banked up, I kind of glanced down, with flames going all down the airplane," says Kirkland, describing a dogfight near New Guinea. "He looked up at me and I was looking down at him, and for just a second we had eye contact."
In the Korean War,Kirkland choppered patients to the surgeon memorialized in MASH the movie and tv show. "The infamous Hawkeye," he says, pulling out a photo. His name was Sam Gilfand. Here's a picture of him, with his buddy Trapper, and me."
AndKirkland ferried scientists to the atomic bomb tests in the Pacific. He pulls out a charred piece of wood with the words "Greenhouse" and " '51" in relief. "It seared the board,and left that," he says pointing to black residue. "That's atomic bomb blast."
Kirkland's painted and collected mementoes of the wars and his life in the basement of his Vienna home -- and in four non-fiction books.
He's just finished his first novel -- he calls a "Wide Place in the Road" a "greatest generation" love story, and the heroine is modeled on his wife Maria. "She's the barefooted California girl, running up the mountainside."
Kirkland's heart goes out to today's vets. "Those poor guys coming out all beat up and it just goes on and on."
He says World War Two was a very different war. "When I fought, you're fighting to win, and you hit the other guy period."
He'll always remember, but hopes the world never relives it.

The investigators are studying the use of enzyme replacement therapy into the spinal fluid for treatment of spinal cord compression in the Hurler-Scheie and Scheie forms of mucopolysaccharidosis I (MPS I). Funding source -- FDA OOPD
Mucopolysaccharidosis I
Lysosomal Storage Diseases
Spinal Cord Compression
Drug: laronidase
Phase 1
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study
Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment
Masking: Open Label
Primary Purpose: Treatment
|Official Title:
|A Study of Intrathecal Enzyme Replacement Therapy for Spinal Cord Compression in Mucopolysaccharidosis I
- safety of intrathecal enzyme treatment by blood and spinal fluid tests each month [ Time Frame: four months ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
- improvement in spinal cord compression due to mucopolysaccharidosis I [ Time Frame: four months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
|Study Start Date:
|November 2005
|Study Completion Date:
|October 2011
|Primary Completion Date:
|October 2011 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
|Assigned Interventions
Experimental: intrathecal laronidase
laronidase dose 1.74 mg, route intrathecal, frequency every 30 days, duration three months
Drug: laronidase
0.58 mg/ml solution for intravenous injection, dose 1.74 mg intrathecally once per month for four injections.
Other Name: Aldurazyme
Detailed Description:
Enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) has been developed for mucopolysaccharidosis I (MPS I), a lysosomal storage disorder. ERT helps many physical ailments due to the disease, but does not treat the central nervous system, due to inability to cross the blood brain barrier. Our purpose is to test delivery of ERT to the spinal fluid via intrathecal injection in patients with MPS I. In this pilot study, we will use recombinant human α-L-iduronidase administered intrathecally once per month for four months to individuals with the Hurler-Scheie and Scheie forms of MPS I and spinal cord compression. If successful, intrathecal delivery could represent a practical, straightforward method of treating central nervous system disease due to lysosomal storage.

HOGANSBURG Two local men admitted to illegally making cigarettes on the St. Regis Mohawk Reservation, federal officials said Friday.
Robert C. Oliver Sr., 53, of Burke and Jody Swamp, 48, of Hogansburg pled guilty to federal charges of one count each of manufacturing cigarettes without filing the bond and obtaining the required permit and one count each of failure to maintain records concerning the shipment, receipt, sale, and distribution of cigarettes, as stated in the release from U.S. Attorney Richard S. Hartunians office.
The two are scheduled for sentencing on Aug. 3 in Utica.
The maximum sentence for the first count is up to 5 years of prison time, up to a $250,000 fine, along with three years supervised release, and a $100 special assessment. The second charge comes with up to three years of a statutory maximum prison sentence, a fine of up to $250,000, up to three years of supervised release, and a $100 special assessment.
If the court accepts the terms of the plea deals from the defendants, each defendant faces a 24 to 30 month prison term. After release, each would have three years of supervised release, a fine up to $250,000, $5 million in forfeiture with $1 million to be paid by the sentencing date, and a special assessment of $200.
Until sentencing, both defendants have been released on their own recognizance.

WINTHROP Stockholm town officials are urging the state to reduce the speed limit on Route 11 at the approaches to the Route 420 intersection at Connellys Corner.
Jerry Manning, a Winthrop resident who lives on Route 11 at Route 420, told Town Council members that there are two to three accidents at the intersection each year.
Weve had one already this year and a number of close calls. Theres been at least one fatality there in recent years, Mr. Manning said.
He said he felt a speed zone near the intersection would benefit traffic safety. I would like to see a reduced-speed zone to get people to slow up on that corner. Its a hazard, Mr. Manning said.
He said he had done some research before coming to the Town Council. Once you break over the hill, you have six seconds before you get to that corner. Last week, we had a tractor-trailer with three piggybacks on the road every day. Someone pulled out in front of him one day, and he had to hit his air horn and slam on his brakes to avoid an accident, Mr. Manning said.
He said the dangerous condition can be compounded by weather. There are certain times when the sun is right in your eyes, he said.
Town Councilman Fernando Rufa said a sign detailing distances to neighboring communities creates a blind spot at the intersection, and he suggested it should be moved.
Stockholm Highway Superintendent Jeffrey P. Russell said the town will follow its protocol for speed-limit reductions. We will send the request to the county Highway Department, and they will pass it on to the state, he said.
Town Councilman Robert J. McCuin, a longtime volunteer firefighter, said he is a strong supporter of the move to lower the speed limit at the intersection. I hope something can be done. Approaching from the west is the real danger spot, Mr. McCuin said.
But he acknowledged he wasnt overly optimistic that state officials would support the boards unanimous request for a speed zone. There have been many, many accidents on Route 420 at the Mahoney Road. They refused our request for a speed reduction there, but they did put up a couple new signs, Mr. McCuin said.

|Update on rehabilitation at Gorge Fire
|Written by Lauren Ohnesorge
|Monday, 07 May 2007 06:20
Today firefighters will switch from fighting fire tactics to rehabilitation efforts in the wildfire that has claimed 2,404 acres near Linville Gorge since April 25.
Latest numbers show 64 personnel on scene, 4 hand crews, one bull dozer, and one helicopter. Closures continue today in the Linville Gorge Wilderness and the Table Rock Area. That portion of the Mountain to Sea Trail from the Kistler Memorial Highway (Old Hwy 105) to the intersection with National Forest System Road 210 is also closed for public safety. Kistler Memorial Highway and the Spence Ridge Bridge are also closed until containment efforts are complete.
Anyone with information on the fire's cause is encouraged to contact Special Agent Jenny Davis at 828-231-0288.

More Choice for Users: Unlisted Videos
Melinda teaches at a high school in San Francisco and recently reached out to us with a problem. Her students just finished a video history project that she wanted to share with their parents and classmates. But she was concerned about posting the videos publicly because she didn't want the whole world to find them (frankly, neither did her students). Melinda told us YouTube's private sharing options -- a 25-person cap that's limited to other YouTube users -- didn't work for her. She needed an alternative option to privately share her students' talent.
As a result we have rolled out a new choice that will help Melinda and other people like her: unlisted videos.
With this feature, you can mark your videos as "unlisted." This means only people who have the link to the video will be able to watch it. It won't appear in any of YouTube's public pages, in search results, on your personal channel or on the browse page. It's a private video, except you don't need a YouTube account to watch it and there is no limit to the number of people who can view it. You'll get a link when you upload the video and then it's up to you to decide who to share it with. Unlisted is the perfect option for that class project, video from last summer's family reunion or your secret Broadway audition tape.
Just remember, the video can be viewed by anyone with the link, so only give it to people you trust! For more information, check out our Help Centre page.

Dogfight: The 2012 Presidential Campaign in Verseby Calvin Trillin
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
In his latest laugh-out-loud book of political verse, Calvin Trillin provides a riotous depiction of the 2012 presidential election campaign.
Dogfight is a narrative poem interrupted regularly by other poems and occasionally by what the author calls a pause for prose ("Callista Gingrich, Aware That Her Husband Has Cheated On and Then Left Two Wives Who Had Serious Illnesses, Tries Desperately to Make Light of a Bad Cough"). With the same barbed wit he displayed in the bestsellers Deciding the Next Decider, Obliviously On He Sails, and A Heckuva Job, America's deadline poet trains his sights on the Tea Party ("These folks were quick to vocally condemn/All handouts but the ones that went to them") and the slapstick field of contenders for the Republican nomination ("Though first-tier candidates were mostly out,/Republicans were asking, "What about/The second tier or what about the third?/Has nothing from those other tiers been heard?"). There is an ode to Michele Bachmann, sung to the tune of a Beatles classic ("Michele, our belle/Thinks that gays will all be sent to hell") and passages on the exit of candidates like Herman Cain ("Although his patter in debates could tickle,/Cain's pool of knowledge seemed less pool than trickle") and Rick Santorum ("The race will miss the purity/That you alone endow./We'll never find another man/Who's holier than thou.")
On its way to the November 6 finale, Trillin's narrative takes us through such highlights as the January caucuses in frigid Iowa ("To listen to long speeches is your duty,/And getting there could freeze off your patootie"), the Republican convention ("It seemed like Clint, his chair, and their vignette/Had wandered in from some adjoining set"), and Mitt Romney's secretly recorded "47 percent" speech, which inspired the "I Got the Mitt Thinks I'm a Moocher, a Taker not a Maker, Blues."
In a laugh-out-loud book of political verse and personal observations, Calvin Trillin provides riotous accompaniment to this year's presidential election, in which Obama and Romney will "dogfight" to the end.
Here America's preeminent humorist satirically skewers the current occupant of the White House, along with all his Republican challengers — from Mitt to Newt, Perry to Paul, with dash of Bachmann and Santorum thrown in for good measure. A campaign that's given us so much material — Super PACs and sudden memory lapses, the Tea Party and Occupy Wall Street, Mormons and libertarians, dogs on cars and open marriages — has finally found the perfect chronicler. Once again, Calvin Trillin takes his poetic license to the wittiest possible extreme.
About the Author
A longtime staff writer at the New Yorker, Calvin Trillin is also The Nation's deadline poet. His bestsellers range from the memoir About Alice to Obliviously On He Sails: The Bush Administration in Rhyme. He lives in Greenwich Village, which he describes as "a neighborhood where people from the suburbs come on weekends to test their car alarms."

MGH Hotline 02.04.11 TIME IS BRAIN when it comes to treating stroke.
Acute Stroke Quality Task Force recognizes fastest treatment time
MGH STROKE EXCELLENCE: Several members of the winning stroke care team and local EMT representatives
TIME IS BRAIN when it comes to treating stroke. National Institutes of Health standards suggest hospitals treat appropriate patients with intravenous tissue plasminogen activator (IV tPA) – a thrombolytic agent also known as a clot-busting drug – within 60 minutes of arrival in the Emergency Department (ED). Meeting this benchmark has been a priority for the MGH Acute Stroke Quality Task Force. This year, the task force is sponsoring the Door to Needle within 60 Minutes Campaign to recognize and help sustain recent improvements in the delivery of critical treatment to acute stroke patients arriving in the ED.
On Jan. 27, the task force held a recognition ceremony and breakfast for the care team with the fastest door-to-needle time – an astonishing 20 minutes – for the third quarter of 2010. "There was fast, clear communication between the ED and neurology teams and the technicians in the scanner," says Allison Gray, MD, a neurology resident who was part of the winning team. "On that day, everyone was in synch." Members of the winning team are Gray; Theodore Benzer, MD, PhD; Amanda Czuczman, MD; Onyinye Iweala, MD, PhD; Katharina Busl, MD; Katharine Stockton; Priscilla Stratiotis; Scott Silverman, MD; Frank Curtis, RN; Rachel Manning, RN; and Gaetano Pastena, MD. The breakfast also recognized the emergency medical technicians (EMT) from Armstrong Ambulance who transported the patient.
In 2009, more than 70 percent of eligible stroke patients were treated with IV tPA within 60 minutes of arrival at the MGH ED. In the first six months of 2010, that performance improved to more than 80 percent of eligible stroke patients. The average rate of tPA treatment within 60 minutes for academic hospitals in the United States was less than 30 percent in 2009.
"This is a remarkable achievement and reflects a considerable improvement from prior years," says Lee Schwamm, MD, director of the Acute Stroke Service and vice chairman of the Department of Neurology. Schwamm credits a streamlined process that breaks down barriers between staff in the ED, neurology and computed tomography imaging, making them a uniform stroke team. Many of the changes the MGH has made are incorporated into the American Heart Association's Target Stroke Campaign, which establishes best practices for hospitals working to reduce door-to-needle times.
"When the team is integrated, all parts can move in parallel," says Schwamm. "We had to re-engineer our process of care and figure out how to make it truly patient-centered. We all had to give a little to be successful as a team. I am very proud to be able to work with such a talented and dedicated team of health care providers. These efforts have made us successful and led to the creation of evidence-based best practices."

" Brand: Zooplus / Type: Dog Toy "
* Prices may differ from that shown
My dogs have had their rubber chicken for a good few months now and although it is (suprisingly) still in one piece it very rarely actually gets played with and they much prefer their softer textured toys rather than this as it is quite hard and it's not very flexibe or easy to play tug of war with either.
There are heaps of different brands of rubber chickens available as they're a very popular dog toy and I've seen them in supermarkets and pet shops but the one that we have is from Zooplus. I buy my dogs dry food from this website and decided to have a browse through their selection of dog toys and this is one that I purchased as at £2.39 it seemed like a bargain. A pack of three is also available and this retails at £7.17.
The toy is made out of smooth, thick latex. It is quite amusing in appearence in a bizzarre kind of way - it is basically designed to look like a featherless chicken. It has got a long neck, 3D beak, long legs complete with little webbed feet and textured wings which are attatched to the middle of the toy but are just outined by slightly raised latex.
The chicken is hollow and lightweight and it has a squeaker. The squeak is located in the middle of the chicken and it is easy for my dogs to find and get a grip of - whenever they do play with it my yellow labrador runs around with it in her mouth squeaking it like crazy. The squeak is loud and high pitched so it can get a little annoying but after a few minutes they usually lose interest.
Despite having long legs which my dogs could easily grip if they wanted to, my dogs never play tug of war with it despite my attempts (eg waving it in their face, running around with it, throwing it and so on) meaning that they don't really get much use out of it so although it was cheap it is actually not great value. The chicken is still in one piece despite being chewed on a few times and the material is thick and durable. There are a few teeth marks but no holes.
I will probably be throwing this away soon as it rarely gets played with. I've got four dogs and none of them are overlly impressed with it but all dogs are different so your dog might love it. In my opinion though it is too basic and very cheap feeling and it is not a great shape or texture, the only advantage is that it is cheap and has a squeaker.
I have a German Shepherd who goes crazy for squeakies. She has a mountain of them at home, so being so spoilt, i decided to treat her for Christmas. I saw a rubber chicken sitting on the shelf at Pets at Home and decided to buy it. It cost less than £3, so not a bad buy. You can buy them from most places, including supermarkets, Wilkinsons etc
Wow, she loved it. The trouble with my dog, she dosn't make her toys last. She has to squeak them until they will squeak no more. This was the case with the chicken. The squeak probably lasted approximately 2 days. Once the squeak had disappeared, the fun had gone and the toy just lay abandoned, but now and again, she has a game with it.
The rubber is fairly durable, but too much pulling, then it is likely to tear. So not advisable to use as a tug toy. There are a few holes, in the chicken now, but i am surprised it is still going, even though it dosn't squeak. It dosn't matter what size your dog is, they will still have fun playing with it. The squeak isn't too loud to annoy the owners either!!
My setter has had numerous toys ;some lasting a lot longer than others! He especially loves any toy that
squeaks . When I was in my local pet shops a few months ago I spotted a funny looking roaster complete with loud squeak and knew it would meet with the setter seal of approval! Not only did the toy look fun but it had also been reduced to just a few pounds.
The roaster is made of soft latex and is advertised as being suitable for all dogs . If latex is swallowed by a dog it wont go hard in their stomach and should easily be passed through their system without causing any problems. However you should always supervise any dog with and remove the toy when it becomes damaged. This toy looked fairly robust and I was hopeful it would last!
When he was first presented with his new toy my setter was very excited and immediately began tossing the toy around and jumping on it to operate the squeaker. The shape of the toy makes it easy for you to throw for your pet and it is equally easy for the dog to pick up. The bright colours are attractive to humans but I cant comment on what my dog thinks about them!
The toy lasted for several days and was a firm favourite for that time. However sadly my dog managed to tear off the head of the rooster and remove the squeaker. Luckily I spotted it and threw away the toy before he managed to consume it! Overall this is a fun dog toy but it didn't last long and I would have been disappointed had I paid the full price.
My brother has a Parsons Jack Russell terrier, and I always like to spoil him with toys.
I bought one of these rubber chickens as he loves squeeky toys, and they are a classic dog toy!
I was disappointed to find that it was demolished in 60 seconds! Bits of rubber chicken strewn about the floor like some kind of masacre!
So, that said, I will not be buying another one!
The rubber it is made of is very thin and does not tollerate any amount of real chewing.
Perhaps this toy would suit the kind of dog that likes to carry things around and does not chew toys. But, for a feisty terrier, the rubber chicken is no match!
I now stick to stronger toys like Kongs and solid rubber balls, but he usually manages to destroy them too, it just takes him a little longer than it did with this toy!
~I wanted a rubber chicken, so I got a dog so I could have one!~
Even before I got Red, my first dog, I knew that when I did, I just had to get a rubber chicken for him to play with. I was inspired by the EBay advert on TV round about that time, you may remember it yourself. My son and I would really rip it out of the advert, making up our own items etc. We'd begin to get really silly and end up in hysterical fits of laughter. But that advert did stay in my mind and even now I can remember it quite clearly.
Anyway once I got Red, I decided he needed some toys, so off I went in search of a rubber chicken.
I got Red's rubber chicken from zooplus.co.uk they cost about £2.00 now, but I don't remember how much I actually paid for Red's.
~This is what Zooplus.co.uk say about the rubber chicken~
A dog toy classic: the latex chicken with squeaker!
Dogs just love this playful rubber chicken. Give your local cats, squirrels and postmen a break - even the most avid hunter won't be able to resist the gleeful squeaks our latex rooster lets out when squeezed. Fun for your dog, and for everyone watching!
Latex dog toys are especially well-suited for young dogs because puppies and young dogs still have very sharp teeth and tend to not just bite their toys, but to tear them apart and may swallow pieces.
~My Story Of The Rubber Chicken Dog Toy~
When the rubber chicken arrived, I think I was more excited than Red was, it was around 24 cm long, very brightly colored in yellow and red and very noisy. The chicken is made from latex rubber, which is tough and hard wearing, good job as I was about to give it to a dog that would most probably rip it apart. Then again it's Red I'm talking about so I think the chicken will be safe. The squeaker inside the rubber chicken is quite small but is very loud and is situated up the chickens backside. (Sorry but that's where it is and I thought you might like to know, and yes it does sound painful I know) Anyway, on giving Red the rubber chicken he just sort of looked at me as if to say "What do you expect me to do with that?" So I took the chicken outside with Red following close behind, I threw the chicken down the garden in the hope he would race after it and bring it back. He just sat down and looked at me, probably thinking you threw it you go and get it! I wasn't having much luck with Red and the chicken, I had such high hopes as well, I was looking forward to playing fetch with Red and this rubber chicken.
I decided to leave the rubber chicken in the box with Red's toys and thought if he wants to play with it he can get it himself. It wasn't long before I heard the most piercing squeak, and I knew it was the rubber chicken, I entered the room to find Red playing with the rubber chicken or rather fighting with it, looked like the chicken was winning as well. He seemed to want to pull the chicken to pieces as I watched him toss it into the air then pounce on it.
But all in all he did play with it, well sort of, I didn't get to play my game of fetch with the rubber chicken, Red just wasn't interested. It didn't cost a lot and he did get some enjoyment out of it. That was until Pippa arrived. The rubber chicken was doomed! Pippa took an instant liking to the rubber chicken and would constantly make it squeak, which really began to get on my nerves after a while. She would walk around with the chicken in her mouth and wouldn't let go of it. Red wasn't really bothered as I don't think he was really that interested in it anyway. The rubber chicken lasted a few months after Pippa arrived, the poor thing was destroyed, she had really gone to town on it and when I took it away because I didn't think it safe any longer for her to play with, she was gutted. She pined for the rubber chicken, I felt so guilty I had to buy her another one.
~Other information~
On doing a bit of research about latex dog toys I found that because latex won't become hard in the stomach and intestines, it can normally be passed without a problem, should a dog swallow some of it. However dogs really should be supervised when playing with latex toys and the toys should indeed be replaced, if and when they become severely damaged.
I'm going to give 3 stars to the rubber chicken, Red wasn't too impressed but Pippa loved it so I'll go half way with the stars.
Thank you for reading my review which may also be posted on other sites.

Gingerbread Feather Cookies November 16 2011, 0 Comments
Thanksgiving is just around the corner and I've got a few feather themed projects lined up for you this week that will add something extra special to your Thanksgiving table. First up are these festive gingerbread feather cookies.
I hand cut these cookies using a feather cut from card stock as my template. Hand cutting did take a little extra time so I recommend cutting and baking your feather cookies ahead of time if you are making a lot of them.
After rolling and cutting press a lollipop stick into the back of the cookie and press on a little extra dough to secure the stick. Turn back over and bake cookies on a parchment lined cookie sheet.
Once cooled you are ready to decorate! I used orange and blue candy melts, and orange and teal jimmies. Melt your candy melts in the microwave 20 seconds at a time and once melted pour into a disposable decorating bag. Pipe stripes of candy melt onto your cookies and coat with jimmies. Let one color set before you move onto the next.
I've created a printable PDF for you that includes templates for all 4 feather themed projects created to help you celebrate this Thanksgiving. Download here: FeatherTemplate

This week was our week to bring a snack to Olive's preschool. The theme was Fall Fun, so we thought some Acorn Cookie Friends would be perfect. We served the cookies along with applesauce and milk.. they were a hit!
Olive cut out the the acorns, dipped them in chocolate, and also added the eyes. She was very proud, and we loved how different and silly they all looked!
To make your own Acorn Cookie Friends follow our tutorial found HERE. We used our favorite gingerbread recipe instead of chocolate cookie dough, they are both delicious.

Chocolate Acorn Cookie Friends November 24 2010, 0 Comments
Mmm.. these little guys are really REALLY yummy! They were all gobbled up here in the shop right after, and maybe a few before, we photographed them.
To make your own acorn friends mix up a batch of our Favorite Chocolate Cutout Cookie Dough, cut acorns, bake and let cool.
After they are completely cool melt together a 50/50 mix of Milk Chocolate Candy Melts and White Chocolate Candy Melts. Mixing them together gives your acorn caps the perfect light brown color. Start with enough candy melts in a small microwaveable bowl so that the melted candy is deep enough to dip your cookies. Melt at 20 second intervals stirring in between. Just heat until melted. DO NOT OVERHEAT your candy melts or they may become thick and unusable.
Dip the caps of your acorns straight down into the melted candy melts watching carefully to just coat the caps. Pull your acorn up and scrape the back along the edge of the bowl to remove excess candy melt. Watch to make sure this doesn't cause cookie crumbs to get mixed in with your pretty melted candy. Place on wax paper to dry.
Use a toothpick dipped in your still melted candy melts to apply your Royal Icing Eyes. And your done! Now its time to taste.. we know.. right.. they are so delicious!
We like to put Royal Icing Eyes on just about anything edible, but they are pretty adorable without them too.
We know what you're thinking "I would love to make these for Thanksgiving but its too late to order my supplies!" Well have no fear, autumn is not over yet and what better reason to make some acorn friends than knowing a cold and snowy winter is right around the corner. For some fun packaging try our Glassine Bakery Bags and Cappuccino Brown Bakers Twine.

Happy Pumpkin Cookies November 18 2010, 0 Comments
Look at these little guys.. don't they just look so happy! Bet they made you smile! I think its the big eye, tiny smile combo.
Mix up a batch of our favorite cutout cookie dough, cut pumpkins, bake and let cool. After baking mix up some of our favorite royal icing and reserve about an 1/8 of your icing. Dye the larger amount orange using our Orange Gel Paste Food Coloring. Dye the smaller reserved icing green using our Mint Green Gel Paste Food Coloring. We like to fold over our icing bag and place in a drinking glass to make filling the bag easy. Royal icing hardens pretty fast so try to quickly get it into your decorating bag, twisting the end of your bag shut, and securing it with a rubber band.
Outline your pumpkin and then flood the inside. We like to flood by squiggling the icing back and forth and then pushing it around with our icing tip to fill in any holes. This technique works really well if your icing is the right consistency. Not too stiff, not too runny.
The icing then settles into a really nice smooth surface.
Use the same technique for the green stems.
Let dry uncovered overnight. Add your Jumbo Royal Icing Eyes with a dab of royal icing and a little smile with our Black Edible Ink Pens.
For some cute packaging try our Brown Window 4" Cookie Box, Orange Paper Tags, or Pumpkin Bakery Labels.
