Elise Hooper's Profile
As a little girl, I loved to play with dolls and stuffed animals and my interest in needlecrafts was born out of my desire to make them clothing, furniture, houses (yes, I tried--unsuccessfully-- to make a Victorian dollhouse!). While in college, I worked in the theater department's costume room as a seamstress and learned how to sew and construct whalebone corsets, petticoats and all kinds of interesting designs.
Motherhood led me back into sewing and I began to create clothes and toys for my two girls and for our friends. The personalized blankets started off as my "go to" gift for friends. Soon I began getting emails from friends of friends who wanted them. Before I knew it, my Etsy shop launched in June 2009 and I've been fortunate to be surrounded by family and friends who are very supportive of my work.

BOXING; A Boxer's Tale: Dreams of Fame End in Death
By EDWARD WONG
Published: July 9, 2001
CAPITOL HEIGHTS, Md., July 8— The gym called Round One Boxing is home to a certain breed of men. They are fit and disciplined and used to talking with their fists. They spend more time with a punching bag than they do with the women in their lives. Above all, they are hungry.
They are starving for a purse that pays more than $10,000, or a televised bout, or a shot at a championship belt. This gym in suburban Washington is a way station for dreams as bruised as the faces of those who cling to them. The philosophy of Round One is epitomized not so much in the faded barbells or the dangling speed bag, but in a slogan scrawled across a wall poster: ''Champions never take the easy way out. Pay the Price!''
Never have those words weighed more heavily than now. One of the fighters who trained here, Beethavean Scottland, known as Bee, died last Monday night from injuries he sustained in the ring. He had been in a coma since being knocked out on June 26 on the deck of the U.S.S. Intrepid, a World War II-era aircraft carrier that has been turned into a museum and docked on the Hudson River off Midtown Manhattan.
Scottland was facing a light-heavyweight fighter from New Jersey named George Jones, who knocked him out in the 10th and final round. Scottland lay on the mat, breathing but unresponsive, and was taken to Bellevue Hospital Center. Doctors determined he had a subdural hematoma, or a rupture of the veins between the brain and the skull. Scottland, 26, was the fourth boxer since 1979 to die in a bout in New York State.
Scottland was a left-hander who had called Round One his home for more than a dozen years. He was one of six or seven fighters trained by the gym's 57-year-old owner, Adrian Davis.
''In the professional field, it's really hard to make it unless you have a sponsor, a promoter or a very, very rich manager,'' said Davis, who has one good eye and one made of glass, a result of his own ill-fated boxing career. ''He really thought that with his abilities, he could make it up through the ranks. He thought he could go all the way.''
Scottland was no different from other fighters, many of whom train in this or any other dark, sweat-soaked gym. He did not have an extraordinary career, although his 20-6-2 record was respectable. He did not have a contract with a big promoter or a cable network like HBO or Showtime, which broadcast high-profile bouts. He did not, as Davis put it, ''come out of the amateurs with bright, shining colors,'' meaning he did not win an Olympic medal.
There are fighters at Round One who have beaten the odds. Hasim Rahman recently won two heavyweight championship titles from Lennox Lewis in an upset in South Africa. A white banner above the gym entrance now proclaims it ''The Home of the Heavyweight Champion of the World!''
But most of the fighters here are still struggling to get noticed in a sport that an HBO executive once likened to ''Dodge City.'' It is arguably the world's least glamorous professional sport, and it is dying partly from self-asphyxiation. Once run by the mob, the industry is still widely believed to be rife with corruption. It has no central governing body, no credible method of ranking fighters and no way to regulate contracts often written to exploit young fighters.
''If you can't get into the clique of boxing, with the Don Kings and the Cedric Kushners and the Lou Duvas, you can't make it,'' Davis said from his office, referring to the biggest promoters in the sport. ''You can't take a fighter no matter how good he is and say 'move over, my boy is going to get a shot at the title.' ''
Gary Jones, a fighter who was wearing a trash bag this afternoon to sweat off some pounds, said that he was ''going through the same problems now that Bee was in -- finances.''
Scottland's purse for the fatal Intrepid fight -- $7,000, with an additional $1,000 for expenses -- ''was a robbery,'' Jones said.
''For a 10-round fight, I think he should have gotten much more than that,'' Jones said. ''He was killed in the ring, and he got robbed.''
Like most fighters, Scottland did not see a lot of money growing up. His mother was a corrections officer in Washington and his father a classical pianist. They had six boys and two girls, with the names of three of the eight children inspired by classical composers. Though spelled differently, Scottland's first name was pronounced Beethoven.
At age 12, Scottland met Derek Matthews, a former boxer once trained by Davis. Matthews ran a dog-training school from his row house in Brentwood, Md., as well as a basement gym with a small ring for local boys. He became a mentor to Scottland, who moved into his house and began training there.
''Some of the kids got good,'' Davis said. ''Bee got extra good. He got so good he outgrew Derek.''
Within a year or two, Matthews turned Scottland over to Davis, a renowned trainer who had opened Round One in 1980.
Davis had boxed for 16 years. But his career had ended abruptly in a bout on Dec. 5, 1972, in Philadelphia. His left retina had become detached from a head-butt in an earlier fight, and a doctor recommended he let it heal before stepping in the ring again. But Davis said a boxing commissioner and promoter both told him, ''As good as you are, you only need one eye.''
''Like a fool, I took the fight,'' he said. His eye was permanently damaged in that 1972 bout and later removed.

The human brain displays heterogeneous organization in both structure and function. Here we develop a method to characterize brain regions and networks in terms of information-theoretic measures. We look at how these measures scale when larger spatial regions as well as larger connectome sub-networks are considered. This framework is applied to human brain fMRI recordings of resting-state activity and DSI-inferred structural connectivity. We find that strong functional coupling across large spatial distances distinguishes functional hubs from unimodal low-level areas, and that this long-range functional coupling correlates with structural long-range efficiency on the connectome. We also find a set of connectome regions that are both internally integrated and coupled to the rest of the brain, and which resemble previously reported resting-state networks. Finally, we argue that information-theoretic measures are useful for characterizing the functional organization of the brain at multiple scales.
Keywords: human connectome, resting-state, integrative regions, information theory, multivariate mutual information, complexity measures

Last June 13 I was invited by the Argentine National Technological University (UTN) in Buenos Aires to speak about computers security.
On my talk I provided a theoretical framework to think systems security but from a Hackers perspective with real life examples. It was really fun and such an honour so I am very grateful to have been invited.
I want to share with you the video of the talk, hoping you remember your spanish lessons!
Next Saturday 13 I will be speaking once again about Computers Security at Argentine National Technological University in Buenos Aires.
The National Technological University (Spanish: Universidad Tecnológica Nacional, UTN) is a country-wide national university in Argentina, and it's considered among the top engineering schools in the country, so It is a great honour to be invited to speak there.
I will give an introduction to
Computers Security, from a Hacker perspective, we will look at some basic security principles visiting real life examples of how they were broken and I will also talk about Hackers philosophy.
As part of the conference, named Libre Conference, other very interesting talks will take place about topics like
Micro-services Architecture,
Linux and
If you are on Buenos Aires at that time I hope to see you there! Sign-up here!
I thought would be better to show rather explain so there you go http://www.screenr.com/AOD7

Shari Anton's résumé lists an impressive string of job titles, from personnel clerk to executive secretary. Not until 1989, when she took a creative-writing class and found she possessed some talent for writing fiction, did she dare to dream of a career that allowed her to work at home, shun panty hose and take unlimited coffee breaks.
Determined to write what she loved to read historical romance she spent the next few years learning the craft of writing a novel and entering various writing contests, winning first place in several. Emboldened by her success, she submitted her work to agents and publishers.
Her persistence paid off in 1996, when Harlequin offered Shari a publishing contract for Emily's Captain, which was released in March 1997. With subsequent publishing contracts signed, Shari left the work world behind. She now spends her days in her home office weaving romantic tales set in medieval England.
"Romances of the medieval troubadour featured tales of knights in shining armor rescuing damsels in distress. I can't think of anything more romantic unless it's a knight in tarnished armor who clashes with a damsel capable of getting herself out of distress."
Shari and her husband live in Wisconsin, have two grown children, and do their best to spoil their two adorable little grandsons. Every chance they get, they pack the saddlebags on their Harleys and hit the road. Traveling companions expect to find a visit to a Civil War battlefield, a medieval fair, or a historical society on the itinerary.
Shari loves to hear from readers. She can be reached by mail at P.O. Box 510611, New Berlin, WI 53151-0611, by email at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Migraine medications and antidepressants: A risky mix?
Migraine medications and antidepressants: A risky mix?
What are the health risks associated with taking migraine medications and antidepressants at the same time?
Reports suggest that combining migraine medications called triptans with certain antidepressants — including selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs) — may increase the risk of a serious condition called serotonin syndrome.
Serotonin syndrome occurs when your body has too much serotonin, which is a chemical found in your nervous system. Triptans, SSRIs and SNRIs naturally raise serotonin levels. When these medications are taken together, it causes much higher levels of serotonin in your system than you'd experience if you were taking only one of these medications. Fortunately, serotonin syndrome appears to be rare in people who are taking triptans and antidepressant medications.
Signs and symptoms of serotonin syndrome occur within minutes to hours and may include:
If you experience signs or symptoms of serotonin syndrome, seek immediate medical attention. Left untreated, serotonin syndrome may be fatal.
There may also be a risk of interactions between other antidepressants and migraine medications. Antidepressants known as monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) can cause an increase in the level of triptans in your blood and slow the breakdown of serotonin.
If you're taking migraine medications and antidepressants, talk to your doctor, especially if you notice any changes in your health. Don't stop or change the dosages of any of your medications on your own.

They wanna threesome, then some
Lyric Meaning
The Weeknd is also known for his sexually active lifestyle, among other things, so it's natural that he'd be getting groupies to have sex with him in a club or after a show.
Also, the tagline of "and then some" is both a play on the shared suffix of threesome and some but also to show that since he's become famous women have been wanting more from him, much like Drake on Marvin's Room. It can also show that he's bagging more than three girls.

Friuli Movement
Friuli Movement (Moviment Furlan, Movimento Friuli, MF) is a regionalist political party active in Friuli, Italy since 1966.
The party is currently active, but has lost importance. Most of its former members, notably including Roberto Visentin, Pietro Fontanini and Sergio Cecotti, left to form Lega Nord Friuli, since 1990.
In 1966 a group of Friulian nationalists led by Gino di Caporiacco, Fausto Schiavi and Corrrado Cecotti, with the convinced support of part of the Catholic clergy, launched the Friuli Movement.[1]
The party was represented in the Regional Council of Friuli-Venezia Giulia from 1968 to 1993 and, again, from 1998 to 2003. Its best electoral result was in the 1968 regional election, when it won 5.1% of the vote and three regional deputies. In the 1980s the party suffered a decline in term of votes and it was later replaced by Lega Nord Friuli, which was much more successful.[2]
In the 2003 regional election the party supported the candidacy of Alessandra Guerra (Lega Nord, formerly a member of MF too) for President, while five years later it gave its support to the centre-left incumbent President Riccardo Illy. In both cases the candidate supported by the MF was defeated.
Currently the party has almost no political organization. Since 2003 it has been conducted by Marco De Agostini (secretary), Adriano Ceschia (president) and Alberto di Caporiacco (spokesperson), but in 2008 the latter, who supported an alliance with the centre-right, left the party.
Roberto Visentin, who left in 1990 to form Lega Nord Friuli,[3] has since returned to the party.[4]

Enhancing Undergraduate Engineering Education Quality through Teaching Assistants (Tutors/demonstrators)
Santhanam, Elizabeth, Codner, Gary, Australasian Journal of Engineering Education
There has been an increase in the number of students entering tertiary education institutions in the past decades, and this increase has had an influence on the staffing situation. Like other discipline areas that have experienced a rapid growth in student uptake, engineering education now relies on a large pool of sessional (non-tenured, part-time or casual) staff to teach in undergraduate programs. This paper outlines a teaching development program (TDP) for tutors/demonstrators/teaching assistants (TAs) that was initiated in the Faculty of Engineering at an Australian university. The ultimate aim of the project was to improve the quality of undergraduate engineering education provided by the university. The main impetus for the project was the feedback from undergraduate students regarding the quality of the learning environment in the laboratories and in other classes that support lectures. The student feedback showed that most TAs were not actively facilitating the learning process. The TAs referred to in the project reported here are mainly graduate or postgraduate students in engineering; a few of them (less than 30%) had completed a higher degree outside of Australia.
Sessional teachers (academic staff members or TAs) are typically employed on short-term contracts (non-tenure track) or on a casual basis. Some discipline areas in universities employ specialist or industry experts as sessional teachers. Employment of sessional teachers in universities has been reported as a growing trend in many parts of the world (Barrington, 1999; Charfauros & Tierney, 1999; Haeger, 1998; Lueddeke, 1997; Park, 2004; Puplampu, 2004), and this trend has been identified in Australia (Jacobs, 1998). Like institutions elsewhere, the increasing student intake into the Faculty of Engineering at a large university in Australia (where the study discussed in this paper was undertaken) necessitated an increase in the employment of sessional teachers, that is industry experts on non-tenure track, as well as graduate and postgraduate students as TAs.
While sessional staff can be expected to have sufficient discipline specific knowledge for their roles in the universities, they are generally inexperienced teachers. TAs in particular rarely would have had the opportunity to acquire knowledge and skills relevant to teaching. The issue of preparing graduate or postgraduate students as researchers, as well as teachers, has been discussed for a long time. For example, Nyquist et al (1989) cited various discussions that have been held regarding this issue since 1930, and state that many questions remained unanswered. An early investigation of programs that were designed to prepare university TAs in the United States of America (USA) identified that new teachers need help in both teaching content and teaching method (Weimer et al, 1989). Recognition of this need led to the development of the Preparing Future Faculty (PFF) program which is a collaborative initiative with input from about 300 institutions in the USA. However not every discipline is well represented in the PFF program. Wankat (1999) lamented the poor participation of engineering colleges in the PFF program, and argued that ideally education in pedagogy should be part of a PhD program in graduate schools, and that "students should first take a TA training course and be a TA, then take an educational methods course, and finally do supervised teaching under the guidance of a faculty mentor" (Wankat, 1999, p. 473). More recently, the need for supporting teaching development among TAs is substantiated by studies that explored the possible impact of their teaching on student learning, in particular the effect on student retention (O'Neal et al, 2007; Smith & Coombe, 2006).
The situation in Australia mirrors that of the USA to some extent. In a discussion of the Australian higher education sector, the issues that the sector has to address included the following: "a very significant proportion of graduating students are unhappy with their experience at university" and "much of our teaching and its support is being undertaken by a large under-class of academics and support staff for whom our systems have traditionally not catered" (Coaldrake, 1999). …

A federal appeals court has decided to reinstate a class-action suit involving private data on parking tickets, Wired reports. The 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has decided against Chicago's Palatine Village Police Department, ruling that putting too much personal information on parking citations violates U.S. law. The information on the department's parking citations includes the vehicle owner's name, address, driver's license number, date of birth, sex, height and weight, the report states, and is usually left under a windshield wiper blade. One motorist filed suit in 2012, but a federal judge then denied the claim, citing a law enforcement exception in the Driver's Privacy Protection Act.

text: Some of you may have noticed that I haven't really been posting near as much lately. Over about the past year I haven't been my best. Last fall I had what I thought was a lymphoid that just would not recover after a cold, except it kept growing and started to interfere with my breathing and swallowing. When it finally got to a doctor to have it looked at I was diagnosed with a thyroid goiter. Long story short, ultrasound showed tissue ugly enough that surgery was scheduled. The surgery itself was not bad at all. I still had what looked to be half a healthy thyroid and was back up and kicking in no time. The ugly bit of tissue was sent off to a lab and in the big old swollen lump, they found a smaller cause. The big old nasty C word, cancer. It was just along a blood vessel but didn't look like it had put any tendrils out in such a way that it could have been throwing cells into my bloodstream thankfully but it was bad enough that they wanted to remove the other half of my thyroid just to be safe so rinse and repeat. Out patient surgery again, not a hard surgery but a little longer to recover from this time. I also was now functioning on no thyroid and parathyroids that had been poked and prodded more than they cared for. Your parathyroid for those of you who don't know (I know I didn't until all this happened) regulates all kinds of things but most notably calcium. You don't realize just how much your nerves love calcium until our hands and feet and sometimes even your face get than horrible pins and needles feeling for no good reason. Its annoying at best. It got to the point for a little while where it hurt enough I couldn't do much other than stay in bed. The other half of my thyroid was also sent through pathology. No cancer this time but I found out that I also had something called Hashimoto's. It explained some longer term health stuff and why I was not feeling so great and had so little energy. The next step was to have a dose of radiation to murder any remaining tissue that might have not been removed during surgery. I was on a special diet and medication for several weeks prior for prep so the treatment could be as effective as possible. I spent an extended stay in radioactive isolation followed by another long while isolated at home. All the long term tests have come back negative! I still have a ways to go before I am back up to 100% but I am grateful to be as well as I am. It will take a little while longer to get used to processing synthetic versions of what my thyroid used to produce.

DENVER, Colo (April 19, 2012) - Founded in 2009 by Ean Seeb and Kayvan S.T. Khalatbari the Denver Relief GREEN TEAM is a volunteer organization dedicated to improving the perception of the medical cannabis industry through community service. Through community outreach efforts such as litter cleanups, free bicycle and wheelchair repair clinics and the on-going food and clothing drives the GREEN TEAM has been recognized by The Christian Science Monitor, Denver Daily News, Westword, MMJ Business Daily and The Boulder Daily Camera among others for demonstrating that medical cannabis businesses and patients are positive contributors to Denver.
This year Cannabis Business Alliance founding member Natural Remedies is joining the GREEN TEAM for the 4/20 litter cleanup crew. Natural Remedies owner Andrew Boyens stated: "As a founding member of the Cannabis Business Alliance, Natural Remedies is happy to work in conjunction with Denver Relief, a fellow member of the Alliance. Supporting the GREEN TEAM and giving back to the community is simply the right thing to do". Other partners in this year's day of community action include Kush Magazine, Illuzion Glass Galleries, the premier glass shop in Denver and MMC Depot, the premier packaging supplier to the MMJ industry in Colorado who is providing gloves and "green" bio-degradable trash bags for the cleanup.
Seeb and Khalatbari are members of several community and civil rights organizations including Denver Kids, The Anti-Defamation League, The Denver Center Theater Company, Allied Jewish Federation of Colorado, E-3 Events, and the Cannabis Business Alliance. This commitment to service and philanthropy is a year long effort supported impart by through their Medical Marijuana Center Denver Relief. The GREEN TEAM donates to different local charities each month through a giveaway in association with Illuzion Glass. In regard to the 4/20 Cleanup "This may be a holiday for some, but for us it's just another day in the battle to shed the negative connotations associated with marijuana use. The people of Colorado get it but today Denver is under the watchful eye of the entire world" Seeb said.
The success of the 4/20 Cleanup is a result of the efforts of dedicated volunteers. If you would like to participate please see the below schedule:
9:00 AM - Please join us at Wild Eggs for breakfast with High Times and many others from the industry. Need to make sure everyone has plenty of energy for the day! They are having a special: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=268569343230287&set=a.144072735679949.38533.115124721908084&type=3&theater
12:30 P.M. GREEN TEAM will meet at Denver Relief. Pizza and soda will be served beginning at 12:30. We would ask that all GREEN TEAM members arrive no later than 1:15 so we can depart on time.
1:30 - 4:19 - Cleanup. We will have a station to "check in" trash near the dumpster. During this time we'll be picking up trash and speaking with members of the community. One raffle ticket for the giveaway will be given to volunteers for each bag of trash checked in.
4:21 - 4:45 - We'll be in a large group, hanging out for about 15 minutes until we get picked up around the corner of 14th and Broadway.

The alk, ca and mag solution will be drawn up the tubing with no problem! I have 6 dosing containers for alk and ca, and they work great! Definitely worth getting these! Watch the video to learn how!
Handy By Jim on 12/30/2014Jim would recommend this product to a friendI use these to attach an airstone to a battery-operated pump that switches on automatically during a power outage. Place in tank when I go out of town.
Hard to find By Phillip on 12/12/2014Phillip would recommend this product to a friendI've looked for this stuff around town and not had any luck. Works great for DIY Kalk Drippers, Dosing containers, and top off containers (depending on size).

Finally a high quality replacement for rigid airline tube By Matt on 6/25/2013Matt would recommend this product to a friendThis is great, since LFS have stopped carrying rigid airline tube this makes an easy replacement. It is also great for a straw for an ATO container or other dosing container. Its a high quality acrylic tube, not a flimsy thinwall plastic extrusion. Works well with the 1/4" murloc connectors.

text: Lara Croft is one of the earliest female protagonists in video games and has been held up numerous times – for both right and for wrong reasons – as a gem of the industry. Like it or not, Lara Croft has become synonymous with video games. While her most recent exploits haven't been game changers, and have allowed more modern franchises to take her crown, Lara Croft remains strong in my heart as one of the few characters to be held up as a shining example of how video games have evolved.

Wednesday, 28 March, 2012, 07:36 AM - WinkettRating 2 out of 5 (A little platitudinous)
There's to be a minimum price for alcohol. Fortunately, this mostly affects the cheap beer and cider that poor people drink, a decent bottle of plonk won't be affected.
Public drunkenness, binge drinking, "pre-loading". Tut, tut, tut. It just keeps getting worse and worse. Of course, it's always been getting worse and worse. The Victorians complained about how drunk the lower classes were becoming in order to forget their otherwise drab and miserable lives.
Nowadays, it's not unknown for respectable people to have a glass of wine in the evenings. Tony Blair has even admitted that he once or twice had a second, that's right a second, gin and tonic.
So what does the Big Book of Magic Stuff have to say about alcohol? Well nothing really. When the Big Book of Magic Stuff says nothing, or is contradictory, or even says the opposite of what we'd like it to say, we describe it's message as "complex". Jesus changed water into find wine (Jacob's Creek Reserve Pinot Noir, 13 A.D., vibrant and complex with a lush black cherry bouquet and rich overtones of spice). Monks have often brewed and sold beer and we still drink wine at the Eucharist, so it's obviously not all bad.
It's surely a sign of our times that we need alcohol to oil the wheels of social interaction, just as it's been a sign of the times for most of recorded history. I think it's now becoming clear though, and I know this may come as a shock to many of you, that too much alcohol is a bad thing.
