We live in a world of ubiquitous imagery, in which the number of images at our fingertips is growing at a seemingly exponential rate. These images come from a wide variety of sources, including Google Maps and related sites, webcams, and millions of photographers around the world uploading billions and billions of images to photo-sharing websites. Taken together, these sources of imagery can be thought of as constituting a distributed camera capturing the entire world at unprecedented scale, and continually documenting its cities, mountains, buildings, people, and events. This talk will focus on how we might use this distributed camera as a fundamental new tool for science, engineering, and environmental monitoring, and how a key problem is *calibration* -- determining the geometry of each photo, and relating it to all other photos, in an efficient, automatic way. I will describe our ongoing work on using automated 3D reconstruction algorithms for recovering such geometry from massive photo collections.
Noah Snavely is an assistant professor of Computer Science at Cornell University, where he has been on the faculty since 2009. He received a B.S. in Computer Science and Mathematics from the University of Arizona in 2003, and a Ph.D. in Computer Science and Engineering from the University of Washington in 2008. Noah works in computer graphics and computer vision, with a particular interest in using vast amounts of imagery from the Internet to reconstruct and visualize our world in 3D, and in creating new tools for enabling people to capture and share their environments. His thesis work was the basis for Microsoft's Photosynth, a tool for building 3D visualizations from photo collections that has been used by many thousands of people. Noah is the recipient of a Microsoft New Faculty Fellowship and an NSF CAREER Award, and has been recognized by Technology Review's TR35.
The agenda for this event is:
5:30 - 6:30 pm: Attendees Register / Networking
6:30 - 6:35 pm: Welcome & Intro
6:35 - 7:35 pm: Presentations
7:35 - 8:00 pm: Q/A
Please note the change in venue to the 8th Avenue side of the building. If you mistakenly go to the 9th avenue entrance, building security will ask you to walk around the building (on the outside!) to the 8th Avenue side.
The RSVP name will be provided to the building security in advance - so please do register with your real name (this will significantly speed up registration). To allow all participants (in the community) to get a clear visibility into their schedules; for all upcoming talks we will make seating reservable one week prior to the event on July 18th at 2:30 pm.
Google volunteers will also be present at the event to answer any questions you may have, look for people who are wearing "Google Wear".
See you there!
This meetup was extremely interesting and the demonstrated technology quite impressive.

Fantastic presentation and speaker. The only (huge) problem was the constant disruption by audience questions, especially from attendees in the front few rows. Without microphones, their questions were inaudible to attendees seated in the back, and those Snavely repeated through his own mic were frequently clearly addressed later in his presentation (which in turn, seemed to have been cut very short). It would have been much more enjoyable for the vast majority to have had a microphoned Q&A session at the end.

@Peter (and others interested in understanding the full history). The use of photogrammetric methods to discern geometric details from multiple reconnaissance photographs long pre-date the advent of Hitler's V-1 and V-2. A casual check of Wikipedia (at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photogrammetry) confirms. The wikipedia page, admittedly without attribution, credits photogrammetry as arising with the advent of photography in the mid-19th century. References litter the historical record.

The paper describes the use of extractions of geometry from motion using techniques that were invented in the late 90's and 2000's. This is very different from stereographic alignment between slightly mismatched images of a given scene, it applies in particular graph theoretic concepts for extracting geometry from motion that have seen work in last 15 years (particularly when the foundations of network theory started being explored mathematically). Did you read the paper?

Thanks Ben, that's the one, downloaded to Drive and is now on my phone for reading during tomorrow's commute.
@Peter, careful using the word "similar" here. Mathematically there are significant differences between the "synth" generation process and simulated stereography. For one, some of the mathematical techniques used by Noah and his team *didn't exist* in world war II. Your latter point regarding computability is well taken. FYI.

This particular meetup exemplifies why the Google Tech talks are one of the best in the city. I hadn't researched who Noah was prior to the talk but about 15 minutes in I realized he was describing the "Photosynth" technology that was in the tech. blogs a few years ago. I spent a few hours at Microsoft's site flying through "synths" (the only low point was it was run in Silverlight...oy vey!). Noah was engaging, knowlegable and too willing to entertain interrupting questions from the audience...but one of the best talks I've seen this year. Well done!

Really interesting talk. Speaker was engaging, had great materials and brought the topic really to life. I would have liked to see questions held til the end or at least until the end of each section, talk would have flowed better.

Time is REALLLY of the essence!
OK, this went very well for 3 groups partnering for Yuuki-Cha SHINCHA last week.
So, I will partner with anyone interested in partnering for some Hibiki-an SHINCHA. I am particularly interested in the two Limited/Special Edition offerings, but am open minded to anything of their SHNCHA except the Farmer Shincha ... just did not wow me when I got it several years ago.
I prefer one partner. All costs would be divided as fairly as possible.
These are ready to ship now. They are in 80 or 40 grammers depending on the selection. Upon receipt, I would divide in half with a digital scale, package and ship.
PLEASE PM me asap if interested, as these are limited in availability.

I have heard a lot of market commentators complaining lately about the daily volume on the major exchanges. Their argument is based on the notion that the recent rallies have not been accompanied by strong volume levels, and as such the rally attempts are suspect.
I beg to differ with those arguments, as I think the recent declines in trading volume may be a good thing, as it is setting us up with another potential breakout to higher levels. And it is on that breakout that I want to see volume levels increase. That would be a more bullish sign.
On the chart above, you can see that I have drawn two horizontal lines, one at SPX 925 and the other at SPX 950. The SPX first broke above that 925 level on June 1. This was also its first foray above the 200-day moving average in over a year. Resistance came in around SPX 950, an area that has been tested a few times so far, including again this morning.
You can see that for the last week and half the S&P 500 has traded within this tight range. I would call the recent action a consolidation of the thrust that took the SPX from its prior 880-925 trading range into this new range. And during consolidation phases, we want to see volume levels recede, just as they have been. So I have no issue with the light volume levels in recent trading sessions.
The next event that I would watch for is the potential breakout above SPX 950. I have been saying for a while now that if the market didn't rollover and have a bit of a correction soon, then it could lead to a situation where underinvested portfolio managers have their hands forced and rush to add equity exposure into quarter end, which could lead to another thrust higher in the market.
As of now, this pattern seems to be coming to fruition, but as traders we don't want to anticipate the breakout until we see it. So keep an eye on that SPX 950 level, and on a true break above that level, we will want to see the move accompanied by a rise in volume. That would be textbook.

Love was accused of stealing cash, various small bags and marijuana from the Sunnyvale man.
Love was booked into jail for robbery and destroying the Sunnyvale man's cell phone, in an attempt to prevent him from calling for help.
The victim was not arrested, although he allegedly had been in possession of the marijuana prior to the robbery. "He previously possessed it, but he didn't possess it at the time" of the encounter with police, Jaeger said.

Seven-mile peace scarf protest against Trident replacement
This Saturday (9 August) a giant peace scarf measuring seven miles (11km) will be stretched between the UK's two nuclear bomb factories to protest against plans to spend £100 billion replacing the Trident nuclear weapons system.
The Wool Against Weapons campaign has been almost two years in the making, and has received contributions from over 5,000 knitters from around the UK and as far as Africa, the Middle East, and South America.
The campaign has received media attention across the country, with knitters taking their peace scarves to local landmarks including Edinburgh's Royal Mile and the Angel of the North.
This Saturday, the scarf will be joined together to stretch between the Atomic Weapons Establishment sites of Aldermaston and Burghfield in Berkshire.
After the demonstration, the scarves will be remade into blankets for use in areas of humanitarian need.
CND's General Secretary Kate Hudson said: "People are fed up with the government saying there's not enough money for vital public services while waving through the purchase of a £100 billion Cold War weapons system.
"Trident doesn't keep us safe: because it encourages nuclear proliferation. We can't afford it: at a time when we're slashing public services. And its use would be illegal: because it kills indiscriminately.
"This colourful and vibrant protest is an innovative way of showing the scale of opposition to Trident replacement in the UK and abroad.
"Every single bit of scarf joined together between the UK's nuclear bomb factories represents a voice calling for reason over dogma, for peace over war – a step towards real global security and a triumph over an outdated and dangerous Cold War mentality."

Shakespeare in Detroit's 2014 Pop-up Theater Season
Shakespeare in Detroit's 2014 Pop-up Theater Season
Shakespeare in Detroit is a professional theater company that pioneered the first performance of "Othello" at Grand Circus Park.
Shakespeare in Detroit is a professional theater company that pioneered the first performance of "Othello" at Grand Circus Park. Read more
About this project
"To have a 2014 theater season or not to have a 2014 theater season, that is the question."
Shakespeare in Detroit brought nearly 500 people of all races, ages, backgrounds, economic levels, from the city and from the suburbs, together in Grand Circus Park for its production of "Othello" in August 2013. That's the wonderful thing about art -- it creates a bridge and builds community among people who may not otherwise engage with one another.
It is human nature to, typically, hang out with the people we grew up with, our families, our colleagues our school mates and others from our immediate circles. Art widens our scope.
At this time in Detroit's history, we need art more than ever. Art unites us. It inspires us. It ignites our cognitions. It evokes hope.
We need more experiences like "Othello" at Grand Circus Park -- reminders that we are all in this together and everything will be okay.
Our city's municipality is not a reflection of the people, community and the rich creative sector in Detroit.
Shakespeare in Detroit needs people from the city, people from around this country and folks from around the world to help produce more experiences in 2014. This project needs its community to make it possible for us to continue our work as a roving group of theater artists who perform in the places where people live, work and play.
Please check out this Q&A in the Huffington Post for more details on our intentions for next year:
Shakespeare in Detroit also has been featured by
Shakespeare in Detroit hopes to create three more memorable shows in 2014 beginning with "Antony and Cleopatra" at the recycling center, Recycle Here, in New Center. The building is the home of the original Lincoln Motor Company.
The theater company will use recycled materials from the center to create many of the show's set pieces and costumes. There will be no stage as the intention is to embrace the rich heritage and art featured on the walls of the facility and become a creative extension of those things. "Antony and Cleopatra" will recycle Shakespeare's play and create something new and fresh for those who enjoy the story, those who have never heard the story before and those who love visual art but don't necessarily look at themselves as fans of Shakespeare, yet.
Shakespeare in Detroit also plans to produce the family favorite, "A Midsummer Night's. Dream." We hope that we are able to work with the Detroit 300 Conservancy to bring this show to Grand Circus Park.
The last show will be "The Tempest" which we hope to do on the place where it makes the most since -- Belle Isle, of course. Where else would we do a play about a storm and water in the city?
Please note: Both "Antony and Cleopatra" and "A Midsummer Night's Dream" are intended to be free performances. The production of "The Tempest" will not be a free show as it will be our largest show. Tickets will start at $30 per person for the show, but are available at a less expensive rate via this campaign (you can get two tickets for $50).
Risks and challenges
There are many risks and challenges associated with operating a creative entity. However, Shakespeare in Detroit was a company formed at Tech Town in 2012. That experience has given our Artistic Director the training to operate as a company of artists, but with the same sensibilities similar to what you might find at a tech company or financial institution.
We are a very strategic, for-profit theater company. Although, in the spirit of full transparency, we probably won't make profit until our third or fifth year of operation. But, there is a well-planned mission of engagement at Shakespeare in Detroit.
One of our biggest challenges after our project is funded will be to get people who don't normally come into the city to come to Detroit to see a show. We have to clearly communicate why our shows are worth the trip, what makes them different and why they matter. Shakespeare in Detroit plans to do this through persistent engagement efforts which include the following:
* Intensive social media campaigning
* Mailing lists
* One-on-one meetings with other creative entities for their advocacy
* Advertising in other productions' playbills
* Media outreach
* Networking events and other activities by the artistic director on behalf of
Shakespeare in Detroit
Shakespeare's works are reflective of the personality, dynamics and challenges of our great city. For example, one of the reasons Shakespeare in Detroit chose to do "Othello" at Grand Circus Park was because in the tragedy there are many similarities to what the city is currently experiencing. While "Othello" is a well-respected general, there is still some discomfort that he is different and not a native Venetian. We felt that the sentiment was shared in Detroit during the heated mayoral race and the question whether or not one of the candidates was qualified -- his residency was in question.
Shakespeare is also important and matters -- not only to Detroit, but to the world -- because while the costumes and language may be different, the things that make us who we are remain. We all desire to be loved, we all experience loss of that love at some point, we cope with illness, death and we all are in a discovery to find ourselves. All of these subjects are things that the author explores and that we all can relate to. That's what art does -- it reflects the truth of who we are.

Horicon Marsh
This vast wetland is both a State Wildlife Area and a National Wildlife Refuge. Originally established as habitat for migrating and nesting ducks, it has since become a stopover for Canada Geese.
Today, Horicon Marsh is increasingly recognized and managed as a wetland ecosystem for all of its plants and animals. Horicon Marsh has been designated as a Wetland of International Importance by the Ramsar Convention and a Global Important Bird Area by the American Bird Conservancy. No group of wildlife better represents the vitality of this marsh better than its birds. Over the years, a total of 304 species of birds have been sighted on this marsh.
If you're a birder or a naturalist or just someone who enjoys the beauty of nature we encourage you to come visit Horicon Marsh. The Horicon Marsh Bird Festival will focus on introducing visitors to many of these birds at the peak of the spring migration. Please go to the following link and read more about the festival in a story that appears in the Wisconsin Natural Resources magazine.
So pack up your binoculars and join us!

Kes, admirably photographed by Chris Menges (who was camera operator on Poor Cow) is not to be lightly dismissed; and Loach's success with young players especially makes one eager to see his forthcoming film for the Save the Children Fund.

Loach and his cinematographer Chris Menges opt for a realistic, grainy, rough documentary look, which makes us in the audience feel as though we are voyeurs, bearing witness to what Godard had famously proclaimed cinema to be: truth 24 times a second.

I have two different types of 601 blues. One is a milk chocolate brown wrapper that is more of a "squeeze" press than a box press and heavy in hand. The other is a very dark chocolate brown wrapper that is very box pressed and light in hand. I can't tell you the differences between the two smokes, but it may be that you get a cigar that doesn't look like the picture posted to CI. But don't let that get you down, either way the cigar is fantastic., a cigar that I believe has become a true classic and changed the way I looked at maduros. I can always count on a 601 blue when I need a cigar that is going to give me amazing flavor and perfect construction.
In keeping with the 601 tradition of great cigars, this one is no exception to the rule. Great flavors that any cigar smoker could enjoy, and while bold it is not overbearing. If you enjoy other 601s you will also enjoy these.
One of my favorites. I really enjoyed the La Bomba and figured I would give another 601 blend a shot. This smoke is pretty full flavored and full bodied. I usually enjoy most of my cigars with either a single barrel bourbon or scotch, however this smoke was best enjoyed by me with a cup of coffee. I found the flavor profile to be right in line with coffee notes and sweet tobacco flavors among other things. The flavor stays pretty consistent, I didn't find it to be particularly complex. Just smooth, consistent and strong. I went on to order a box and try to keep them in a regular rotation in the humidor. I'll continue to keep these stocked. I found they were best after about 3 months of sitting in 68%.
Smooth and delicious.. Great smoke.
Smoking my first 601 blue maduro out of ten and this is an awesome smoke. I'm trying to think of the right words to describe it; exotic, smooth, balanced. Aroma is sweet and chocolate like; I'm in love with this stick ! Lingering finish , just beautiful . After each pull I can't wait for the next. Gotta take it easy here cuz I'm feelin goood ! Maybe these should be illegal ?
The only problem I can find with these cigars is that they're out of stock so often, which should attest quite well to their quality. These fine cigars go well with most darker drinks (I prefer them with a Guinness or Crown Royal Black). They burn well and consistently, and definitely deserve their high rating. The flavor is rich and has an abundance of wonderful flavors. I use these alternatively with Rocky Patel Decades as my "celebration" cigars, and only my dearest of friends will get to smoke them with me.
Very well made. Perfect burn and draw. Rich intoxicating flavors, without overpowering my palate. God Bless Don Peppin for creating this beauty! God Bless CI for stocking it! Although this cigar costs a little bit more than my cigar budget wants to handle, it is without a doubt worth every penny. Trust me man, you cannot go wrong with this one.
I love a fine box pressed roll, this one included. They don't roll off the damn deck rail to boot! Although I would go to fetch it in any case since this one is really quite enjoyable.
This is a tremendous cigar. I just finished my first one, and it won't be my last. The subtle underlying sweetness mixed with the creamy coffee/nutty flavor is unlike anything I've had before. It just keeps getting better and better as you smoke it. Wow! I'm really impressed with this one.
601 Blues are one of my favorite cigars. Generally not a fan of box pressed sticks, but the flavor profile on these more than makes up for that. These Blues have one of the most layered flavor profiles of any cigar I've ever smoked. The cigar starts out great and gets better and better as I smoke it. The 601 Greens use to be my favorite in the line, I still love them, but these Blues are must try sticks.
IMO this is one of Pepin's best and if you like maduros it's a must try. First, it's a beautiful looking cigar with it's oily wrapper and box pressed shape. Of course, outstanding flavors follow the first draw, as with most Pepin sticks. Heavy coco/coffee undertones grow stronger as this one smokes. Order while you can and tuck a few of these away to enjoy for years to come!!
If you like a tasty Maduro then you are crazy if pass these up! Another excellent 601 is the Green. You can't go wrong with EO brand smokes. Great construction, draw, burn you name it they always deliver excellent cigars!
Great cigar, love the boxed press robusto. Top notch!
Man, I wish that I had a thousand of these in my humidors. This cigar is on par with the Pepin JJ Maduro. Awsome!!!
Light-up is wicked but 1/8 of an inch the oil taste dissipates a flavor profile of spice, wood, and chocolate follows. Truly a masterpiece and is a "poor man's" 1926 Pardon. Just my opinion. Worth every penny and then some.
30 seconds after lighting it was clear to my taste buds why this is so highly rated. Mild-medium fans, including myself, do not need to shy away from this smoke. The full flavors are refined and mellow. Nor is this one of those bitter and uncompromising maduros. This dark and oily wrapper is as sweet as candy. So all of you out there in CI Land have no excuses. Try this cigar! JL
Tasty,tasty,tasty!!It's cigars like this that keep me captivated -like the first time you experience a great cigar.With these (601 Serie Blue),it's always like the first time.One of the best maduros in the world,period.Thanks C.I.
Being cigar #6 of the 25 top cigars of 2009, the 601 Blue Box-Pressed Maduro is worth the price! Smooth with some spice. Excellent flavor and evolution.
When I've had a rough day I pour some good bourbon on the rocks and toast up a hefty 601 Blue torpedo and after the first few savory pulls on that bad-boy I realize I've got the perfect cigar in my hands. I wish they weren't so pricey but Don "Pepin" Garcia's products are definitely worth a few extra shillings. If my wife reads this please order me a box for my birthday!

Outlook for the UK over the next 6-30 days
UK Outlook for Tuesday 24 Jan 2017 to Thursday 2 Feb 2017:
On Tuesday and Wednesday most places should be dry with sunny spells, although there is a risk of fog at times in the south. It will be windier in the west with outbreaks of rain gradually moving east. Temperatures will be quite cold for many, but milder later in the west. During the rest of the period, milder, unsettled conditions are expected to affect most of the country. Bands of rain will cross the country, interspersed with brighter, showery interludes. It will become windy with gales likely at times, especially in the north-west. The heaviest rain is likely in northern and western areas, with drier conditions in the south-east. Temperatures should be around average to mild, although there is a low chance of the south-east keeping colder than average conditions.
Updated at: 1207 on Thu 19 Jan 2017
UK Outlook for Friday 3 Feb 2017 to Friday 17 Feb 2017:
Looking ahead to the start of February confidence is fairly low. However, the most likely scenario is that Atlantic low pressure systems will continue to bring spells of wet and windy weather to all at times, though this will be interspersed with drier and brighter interludes. Temperatures will generally be around average for this time of year, though with occasional milder spells associated with the unsettled weather. It looks increasingly likely that an area of high pressure will begin to become dominant again towards the middle of February, bringing more settled conditions with the return of overnight frost and patches of fog, although the chance of very cold conditions developing is low.

Road to Nowhere
... history to visit Woodland Cemetery and Arboretum in search of the burial site of one of Patty's ancestors. We had a section and lot number. We did not have a map. That proved to be a problem. We drove around and around and around without ever seeing any section markers. We found Orville and Wilbur's graves, but not the one we were looking for. Maybe we should have done a little more research :0). We may try again tomorrow.
Otherwise we continue heading ...
Week Two Midwest.
... Day; hearty thanks to Bill and Sandy Sowers. I was pleasantly surprised to receive an email from a lady for whom I took a picnic photo (on the Air Force Museum grounds) on my smart phone and emailed to her (she didn't have a smart phone or camera and it was such a lovely picnic!) So fun to hear from a stranger in Ohio! Thanks to her and to my high school friend, Avis for pleasant surprise phone call this week. Feeling blessed. . .
All Wright....that's enough!
... in downtown Dayton. There, there are exhibits of the Wright Brother's Bicycle Shop, their printing shop and all kinds of information about the concept, design and eventual flight of the the Wright Flyer 1, at Kittyhawk, North Carolina in 1903. Also, a whole section of the museum was dedicated to Paul Laurence Dunbar, a young black man who went to school with Orville and Wilbur and was involved in writing for their newspapers. ...
Down to Dayton, Ohio
... with fields and fields of sweetcorn. The hotel just happened to be having a 'Manager's welcome evening', which satisfied our dietary and thirst needs! There was also a much-needed (and utilised) guest laundry facility.
Tuesday morning we set off to 'do the museums'. Dayton is the birthplace of aviation as the Wright Brothers (Orville and Wilbur) had their bicycle shop and business here. ...
Heading Home...Top 10 & Tips
... sorting though so many groceries to find what we needed. We invested in 2 food storage/prep items that worked really well for us-an electric Igloo cooler that plugged into our DC adapter in the van. We also purchased a converter so we could plug it in when we had electricity. This eliminated the need to be on constant search for ice and nothing was soggy! The other thing we bought was a 3 burner propane camping stove with a griddle. Car Entertainment: Some may be ...

About this project
The White Rabbit Playing Cards
Shane Tyree (the artist) and I (Erik Dahlman, CEO of Albino Dragon) have worked on a lot of projects together, but recently we are probably best known for our successful Call of Cthulhu deck.
Creative freedom has shown us here at Albino Dragon just how deep the rabbit hole goes into the darker corners of Shane's twisted imagination. So to continue that celebration we have launched our new deck inspired by the works of Lewis Carroll.
Taking the lessons that we learned from the last project and building on the great community support that we found here, we look forward to providing another top tier product to our backers.
The White Rabbit playing card deck is printed by the famous United States Playing Card Company, featuring 56 poker-sized cards with custom faces that bring our vision of Lewis Carroll's tales to life. Depending on your pledge level, your deck(s) may include some or all of the following features
- Intricately designed playing card backs
- One of a kind court cards
- Unique tuck box
- Every playing card is based on tales from Lewis Carroll.
- Custom Jokers
- Magic finish that allows cards to handle smoothly & last longer than cheaper playing card decks
- Unique gaff card with multiple uses for card tricks
- A double-backed gaff card
- Your own likeness on one of the playing cards

Risks and challenges
We've gone through a few Kickstarter projects now and we've learned quite a bit about the fulfillment process. All of our vendors involved with this project have also worked closely with us in the past so we don't expect any surprises from them.
The biggest issue we had with fulfillment previously was not charging enough for shipping costs. We ended up spending a lot of our profits to cover additional shipping, specifically international which became much more costly when we allowed backers to add items to their pledges. We've compensated for that on this project by making very specific pledge levels in which the shipping costs are fixed.
The second issue also came from allowing backers to add items. It did not allow for a very clean survey or batch processing of any kind so many of the pledges took substantially longer to put together. We removed this issue the same way, by providing very finite and structured rewards.
While there are certainly always risks such as delays in production, crazy weather, etc we feel we have done our best to mitigate any delays wherever we can in the process to make this as smooth and efficient as possible.Learn about accountability on Kickstarter
It's not actually the decks that get more expensive, but the shipping. The sweet spot for us is 2 decks, once you start going over that weight, the costs to ship start to get pretty substantial. There are also more materials that go into packing those orders as well as time. We originally left only the 2 deck and 6 deck pledges for this reason, but enough people have asked for 3 and 4 so we have provided them, but the increased cost in shipping was the key factor we haven't posted them until now.
Post a comment and see if it's something anyone else would be interested in! If we get enough interest in a certain pledge level and we can figure out a way to bring it to you, we will.
We tried that on the last project and it took 40 days and 40 nights of straight fulfillment to get rewards to you. This time we should be able to complete all of them in a week or less, freeing us up to work on more cool stuff for you guys!
We actually started as a game company using Kickstarter. Our first two games are scheduled to arrive in February so that we'll be able to offer them as part of this campaign to ship with The White Rabbit decks. By supporting our past ventures, we can continue to branch out and offer more projects like this one.
All of The White Rabbit decks are limited edition. We're only doing this one run and that's it.
When we received the limited edition green Cthulhu decks, they all had the wrong custom seal on them. There were a few boxes left at Bicycle that were shipped to us at a later date. These turned out to have the correct seals on them which means that we now have a very rare subset of the already very rare limited edition (green) decks.

Archives for Weather Anxiety
Video: Earthquake On Live TV? These Anchors Calmly Own It
Last night before bed, I found myself putzing around on my iPhone on my living room floor. It's a nightly thing: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Reddit. Rinse and repeat if I'm still not sleepy. But I was caught off guard while scrolling mindlessly through my Facebook news feed -- suddenly, I felt the floor shake. Always on high alert, I jumped. What was that? After a moment or two of frozen uncertainty, I audibly exhaled when I realized the source of the shaking: a heavy diesel truck, barreling down my street.
Feeling Crappy About Winter, Part 1: Drowning In All The Messiness
I love my blog readers. (Hey, that's you!) I read each and every one of your comments -- even though I don't always reply to each one. Your comments are very meaningful to me -- I empathize with your stories of shared suffering and shared recovery. I truly love reading them -- they make me feel far less alone! One recent comment on my blog post called "The Post-Holiday Slump: The Presence Of An Absence", became a bit "stickier" than most -- and I found myself thinking about it quite a bit over the past 24 hours. The blog post was about how January and February basically suck and feel super dreary in comparison to the brightness and happiness of the Christmas season. Putting away the tree and the lights creates a weird void in not only my living room (where the tree stood), but also in my gut. The commenter pointed out my lack of positivity.
The End Of The Trifecta: How The Worst Panic Attack Of My Life Ended
(If you missed the first three parts of this story, click here, then here , and then here.) The scene: a small road off of a two-lane state highway in the woods. The cell phone coverage: first none, then a single bar. My panic state: full blown. I was laying down in my car, following the EMT-in-training's instructions to avoid sitting up or moving around, and I was scared nearly to death. I shook, I gasped for air, and I palpitated. I hated every single second that slowly and dreadfully crawled by. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't even conjure up the energy or the clarity of mind to reach for my Ten Rules for Coping With Panic worksheet that lives in my wallet. I was in the middle of nowhere, I was stuck, and I couldn't escape without help. Not only was I about to receive medical help, but I'd had to call my husband and ask him to drive 40 miles to be with me. Ugh. Failure. The word kept repeating in my head: failure failure failure.
Prepping for Hurricane Sandy: Handling "What If" Thoughts
Okay. I've admitted that I'm nervous. When I think of the possibility of losing power for a few hours, I get butterflies (bad ones) in my belly. Especially if the power goes out at night. The thought of losing power for a day? Very stressful. Will my food be okay? How will I cook without my electric oven and stove? Losing power for two days? Extremely stressful. Will all of my food go bad? Will I be hungry? Will my apartment get too cold? I can surely bundle up and stay warm, but my pet parrot is, uh, a tropical bird. He likes warmth. I can't exactly cuddle with him under the down comforter. Three days? Ugh. Let's not even talk about it. This is a great time to discuss the concept of "what if" thinking. All too often, we get caught up in thoughts about future events or activities that haven't occurred yet -- and may not even occur. My therapist's motto? Focus on the "what is", not the "what if". But...but what about when you're in the direct path of a hurricane!?
Hurricane Sandy, You're Making Me Nervous!
It's like any normal Sunday evening at home, really. The clothes dryer is humming hypnotically. My husband is playing a video game and occasionally shouting stuff like "Get the sniper!" and "He's shooting an orb!" into the headset that he uses to talk to other players. My pet parrot is all fluffed up and happily beak-crunching beneath his electric heating lamp. And I'm putzing around on the internet, as usual, oscillating between Twitter and Facebook. But I'll admit it: I've got a little twinge of nervousness in my gut. After all, if Hurricane Sandy hits Central Pennsylvania hard, then I'm sure tomorrow evening in my apartment will look quite different from tonight. No internet. No heating lamp. No video games. No appliances.
I Want a Panic-Free Wedding, Not a Tarnished One
(Note: this is the third post in a short three-part series about my upcoming nuptials.) Not exactly the best talent to brag about, eh? Sigh. At least I recognize it for what it is. I guess that's the first step toward undoing this bad habit...but, admittedly, I've been stuck on this first step for quite a long time now: The first step to dealing with Catastrophizing is to recognize when you're doing it. The sooner you do this, the quicker you'll be able to start focusing on stopping it. It may be helpful to start recording your negative thoughts to yourself on a pad of paper or little journal (or your PDA or such) that you carry with you at all times. [Source] Or recording them on my blog...an entire laundry list of them, all related to my wedding, all related to a single day in time! So, here I am, trying to both acknowledge the above Things That Can Go Wrong and transform them into Things That Can-But-Probably-Won't Go Wrong...but my mind isn't having it.
I Want a Panic-Free Wedding, But So Much Can Go Wrong!
(Note: this is the second post in a short three-part series about my upcoming nuptials.) Only a few days left, and I'm still ruminating about everything that could go wrong on the big day. Let's see how many of my worries I could formulate into a list or two: THINGS THAT CAN GO WRONG: CEREMONY It will rain all over my outdoor wedding. It'll be so humid that I'll feel sick and unable to breathe. I'll get panicky during the ceremony, feel the need to sit down, but be unable to. I'll trip while walking down the aisle. Some crucial part of my dress will snap off. I'll cry and find myself unable to stop. I'll pass out at the altar. I'll throw up at the altar. Everyone will be looking at me when I throw up and then pass out at the altar. MORE THINGS THAT CAN GO WRONG: RECEPTION
I Want a Panic-Free Wedding: Eight Days Left!
(Note: this is the first post in a short three-part series about my upcoming nuptials.) I'm getting married in eight days. (Ahhhh! I'm getting married in EIGHT DAYS!) Am I excited? Of course. Am I nervous? YES YES A THOUSAND TIMES YES. (And I know that was an incomplete sentence and poor grammar to boot. But when we get nervous, proper writing convention gets gently nudged aside.) I mean, there's an entire laundry list of Things That Can Go Wrong...especially when my wedding is not only outdoors, but also practically in the woods and about 15 miles away from civilization. As a panicker, all three of the above factors generally scare the crap out of me.
The Sound of Rain: Soothing, or Anxiety Trigger? (Part 2)
(Missed the first half of this post? Check it out here.) I don't know why the sound of rain was (and to an extent, is) so painful and jarring to me -- I mean, to others, it's pleasurable. It's soothing. To me, I suppose it represents just another fake danger that us panickers so commonly concoct: the danger of eliminating access to the only truly "safe" place for me at my office -- the back patio. If I panicked at work in the rain, where would I go? I'd get drenched on the patio. And if I tried to escape to my car, I'd get drenched on the way there and transform into a miserable and soggy heap of humidity. And of course, if my car was warm and humid, I surely couldn't open the windows in the rain to cool off. So, the car wasn't an option. No patio; no car. What was left? Nothing, I concluded. There wasn't a single place I could go during a rainstorm and feel safe. There wasn't a single place in that damn office where I could allow my panicky feelings to de-escalate. I couldn't escape to a safe place, I felt. And of course, just knowing that I didn't have a safe place available made the panic strike more harshly. It went something like this: Sound of rain. Fear of not having a safe place just in case I were to panic. Rapid heartbeat, sweaty palms, dizziness, shaking. Panic.
The Sound of Rain: Soothing, or Anxiety Trigger? (Part 1)
As I write this, a thunderstorm is rolling in. Through the window to the left of my desk, I can see that my usually bright green backyard has taken on a sunken gray hue to match the dark clouds above. If I were still 9 years old, this is where I'd grab a Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark book and start reading. Or, if I was feeling creative that day, maybe I'd grab some paper and markers and draw each of the lightning strikes I saw. (I actually did this on a consistent basis for awhile and then compiled each drawing into a book called "LIGHTNING WATCH!" with a construction-paper cover. Yep. I wore [and still wear] my "nerd" hat proudly, thank-you-very-much.) But I'm nearly two decades older now and I can no longer remember why on earth I thought adding fear (Scary Stories) to fear (thunderstorm) was a good idea. I suppose I was a high sensation seeker...and "was" is certainly the operative word here.

Apple (AAPL +1.7%) has moved higher following Icahn's tweet. The company added $50B to its buyback program in April, and spent $18B on buybacks in the June quarter. The company had $146.6B in cash/investments at the end of the quarter (much of it offshore) to go with $17B in debt.
Update: On CNBC, Icahn says CFO Peter Oppenheimer "got a little testy" during the meeting.

Q & A: Shemini Atzeret
Latest update: May 17th, 2013
In truth, according to either minhag, one is acknowledging that there is a safek and treating the mitzvah with respect. Then we are left with the question, which way to go? That answer is rather simple – we always are instructed to follow our own family minhag (cf. Beza 45b).
My uncle, Horav Sholom Klass, zt"l, always used to relate that his grandfather [my great grandfather], Horav Yaakov Epstein, zt"l, would be meticulous in the observance of the mitzvah of sukkah and would remark, "If one builds a beautiful sukkah [and dwells therein], he will merit to have a beautiful [year round] home as well."
May we all be blessed with such recompense for our meticulous observance of the mitzvah of sukkah, as we eagerly await Melech Ha'Moshiach, speedily in our days.
