Digi's With Attitude! DT Call
Wednesday, November 24, 2010
I colored her with Copics and I'm not too sure about the pinks I used. I tried a new combo and I think the darker pink is a little too dark. Oh well, live and learn! I used a Zig Painty Pen on the silver stool legs and gave a coat of Viva Decor Glass Effect Gel on the martini and her shoes. The DP is old from my stash and I'm not sure who makes it. The satin ribbon is from Michael's. I used a new Martha Stewart border punch also (thanks Mom!).
If you decide to enter the DT call ... good luck!
I'm entering this in the Digi's With Attitude! challenge #8 which calls for pink, black, and silver (pink dress, black stool seat, silver stool legs).

So get those stamps and get cracking on those holiday cards and projects.
This week the challenge over at the StampInsanity blog is to follow a sketch. I colored my image with Copics and used Basic Grey designer paper. The border punch is by Martha Stewart and I used her new glitter glue on the flame of the candle. I punched the snowflake out of acetate using a Martha Stewart punch and covered it with her white glitter glue. I love that stuff! Similar to Stickles but the tip produces more of a fine application and the glitter is finer.
Here's the sketch for you to follow to join in the challenge:
Be sure to come join in on the fun! Because there's a new release, all the DT members have projects so be sure to check them out. The links are on my sidebar. Enjoy!
I'm entering this card in the following challenges:

And now, she is the patient. For decades, as a surgeon, researcher, professor and medical celebrity of sorts, Susan Love has led the charge against breast cancer and for women's health. She served on President Clinton's cancer advisory board. She set up a research foundation. Her book on breast cancer is on the short shelf for clinicians and counselors. And last June, when, like so many women, she was feeling and doing fine, the diagnosis came. Except it wasn't breast cancer but leukemia. The woman who has battled one kind of cancer on behalf of millions of women finds herself fighting another kind, on her own
behalf but not alone.
How did you find out you had leukemia?
My rheumatologist was retiring, and I had some arthritis, nothing serious, and I went in to see her. Rheumatologists always draw a lot of blood. I came back to work. I had run five miles the night before. I was feeling fine. I got a call two hours later from my primary care doctor saying: "I have shocking news for you; come back right now to UCLA for a bone marrow biopsy." The whole way over, I'm trying to remember — blastocysts, what does that mean again? When it's you, everything's out of your brain. Within 24 hours I was diagnosed with leukemia.
You've been on the other end of that call so many times.
Absolutely — those shocking phone calls where you change somebody's life. Your whole sense of yourself, of the future. It's "Oh my god." With breast cancer, it's a lump, but it's not like you're throwing up — you feel fine, then somebody tells you, no, you have terrorists growing in your body. So it was quite shocking. Within two weeks I was in City of Hope.
What did they do?
With leukemia, the blood cells have gone off. So you can't really have surgery; you can't cut out somebody's blood. You carpet-bomb — you blast away with chemo, and you kill everything. That's step one. Then you wait a little and make sure there wasn't some terrorist hiding in a cave that crawls out again. Sometimes they do it again to make 100% sure. Then they give you a bone marrow transplant.
Luckily my baby sister's bone marrow was a match. It's really a trip because it changes your blood type. I was O positive and now I'm B positive. That's actually good because if there are any leukemia cells that crawl out later, the new bone marrow cells recognize them as foreign and can knock them off.
You had a team — doctors, nurses, your partner, your daughter, your siblings.
I had somebody in the room with me all the time. And City of Hope — they have two floors for bone marrow transplants. They've been doing it forever. The nurses, the orderlies, everybody there — that's what they do, and that's what you want.
How are you now?
Right now I'm fine. After the transplant you have to be home for 100 days; your immune system is getting better. If I go to the symphony, I wear a mask; you don't know who's there, and if they have flu or a cold, it's not worth it. Right now my bone marrow is clean and I'm feeling stronger, but something could be hiding — you never know.
If you have appendicitis and I take out your appendix, you're cured. But with this, it's not, "Now you're done and back to normal." You live in a different world.
Has leukemia changed your attitude toward breast cancer and your work?
In a couple of ways. About a year ago, I was at a conference in San Francisco, and I said, "We're all patients" — that the difference between a researcher and a patient and a doctor is that a patient [has] a diagnosis. We all need to put our expertise together.
It was prescient — little did I know! I feel even more strongly now that we make this artificial boundary. We have to rethink how we approach research. [Researchers] want to study ideas that might have applications to diseases, but we need to have the people with the diseases saying, "These are the things we need answers to."
In the old days, Pasteur would go from the patient's bedside to the lab and back again. But now doctors take care of patients; the researchers are way over here. Research is driven a lot by how we can get the next new drug that will make a lot of money and make us famous, as opposed to answering these questions.
I always talked about but never fully knew the collateral damage of treatment. Now I know it in a real way. I know it in my numb toes. I know it in the metallic taste in my mouth. These are things physicians discount. They're "You're lucky to be alive." [Doctors] focus on survival and not on what you have to live with.
If anything, having cancer myself has given me a new sense of urgency. We have a limited number of days in our lives — you become more aware of that — and if I'm going to spend them coming to work, then I'm not going to be just diddling around.
Has the leukemia changed what you want to happen in breast cancer research?
It makes me more in a hurry and more impatient with the status quo. We've been doing this breast cancer advocacy work for over 20 years. I think we achieved awareness and we've raised a load of money, but we really haven't made a major dent in the disease. Research should be finding the cause, not the cure. The cure implies you're going to get it, and then you're going to do some horrible [procedures] and live with the consequences. Why can't we not get it in the first place?
I went to the American Assn. of Cancer Researchers [meeting] last year, and a woman got up to talk about the HPV vaccine, half the audience walked out.
Because that's not interesting to these scientists. They want to get the Nobel Prize — their goal is different. [Vaccines] are done, they're boring. Public health issues that might have a more immediate effect are not funded and not pursued and are not sexy.
There's more than one kind of breast cancer, and there's been speculation that some of them are influenced by things like diet and exercise and stress.
We focus a lot on cancer cells. We all have cancer cells in us. [The question is] the environment for them to grow, the neighborhood. If you clean up the neighborhood, you can actually keep the cancer cells dormant.
It sounds like the "broken windows" theory of policing.
Exactly. It's the broken windows theory of medicine. We see studies saying exercise decreases breast cancer recurrence. Losing weight, stress reduction — that's the neighborhood.
What do you think of the Susan G. Komen Foundation controversy, when it pulled funding for breast cancer screenings from Planned Parenthood?
These things sometimes happen when you get big and lose touch a little bit with your constituency. The credible thing is how they recover, and that's what everybody's watching right now.
Does it bother you that the word "boobies" has been used for breast cancer awareness?
It's generational. Younger people react differently.
What I do worry about is that we've become so aware that people are so afraid of getting breast cancer, more than is warranted. We went from one extreme almost to the other. We need to refocus. Awareness, we've done that. We can check it off. To spend money on having the NFL wear pink or lighting buildings in pink — I don't think that's the wisest use of money anymore. Now it's actually doing something about it.
You're marshaling women through social media to become one big case study.
To go back to my idea that we're all patients and in this together, we have the Army of Women now over 300,000 women who've signed up to hear about research studies. And researchers can come to us with their study and we can e-blast it to everybody in the army. It's a way of crowd-sourcing research — matching volunteer study subjects, with and without breast cancer, with researchers. The bigger the study, the more it becomes self-correcting. Researchers are amazed at how eagerly women are signing up for these things. We also have healthofwomen.org.
Women say, "My friend had chemotherapy — why wouldn't I do this?" Most know someone who's been through this. My goal was to move more research out of the lab and the rats and Petri dishes and more to women. If the problem was curing rats, we'd have done it a long time ago.
And what about you?
Leukemia is pretty aggressive; I don't think about it in that way. I really think that it's a reminder that we have a finite term. Being raised a good Catholic girl, now an Episcopalian, I was raised to make the world a better place. I've got to do that.

Since activating its online disaster relief system CUAid.coop on June 29, the National Credit Union Foundation (NCUF) has already raised over $25,000 from the credit union community to assist credit union people affected by the wildfires in Colorado.
"It's reported that the fire is 100% contained now, which is great news," said Scott Earl, President/CEO of the Mountain West Credit Union Association. "However, there were more than 340 homes destroyed. Many families have been widely affected and will continue to need assistance and support for some time as they piece their community back together. The largest need right now for most organizations helping the evacuees and victims is financial."

Minnesota's win was a fluke...The Av's will shake it off and show the new kids how to play in the post-season. Try and keep Forsberg out of the next one!
Well, I haven't wanted to jinx my boys here, but it's time for me to jump on the Ducks bandwagon as they lay down the law against the Red Wings! Wow! Pretty surprising series so far, to say the least... Might redeem themselves following a couple of their prior sweeps at the hands of the Wings in the 90's. Looking good so far! But Disney's dismal franchises couldn't possibly win it all back-to-back could they? Or could they...?

Your mission should you choose to accept it? Put together the best MLS squad you can within the salary cap. The scoring officially begins in Week 5 (April 4th) so be sure to enter your team before the deadline or you'll risk playing catch-up with points. You'll also be automatically registered to compete in the Global MLSsoccer.com league to see how you fare against other team's supporters.
Getting Started
To join the official Whitecaps FC Fantasy League, CLICK HERE and follow the sign-up instructions. Fantasy Soccer Manager requires you to sign up through your Facebook account.

Scoring System
The usual aspects of any soccer fantasy point system are all included (goals, assists, cards), but there are also a number of intriguing additions. With the help of Opta stats compiled for every MLS match, players can receive attacking and defending bonuses: Midfielders receive points when their team keeps a clean sheet, giving credit to their defensive efforts. A goalkeeper receives a point for every three saves he makes, while a defender receives an extra point for every six clearances, blocks, or interceptions. Attacking players receive additional points as well for every three crosses they put in the box. (CLICK HERE to check out the complete scoring system.)
Now that you have the basics down, you can start combing through the players to see who you like, who you want, and who you can afford.

I understand the reason for compatibility, but if MS wants to continue to be relevant in the software business, they need to take a page from Apple and others, and leave some of those old children behind.
They need to cut the umbilical cord to all the old OS, browsers, etc. and build something new, from scratch, that will not work in the old software but it will be build with security in mind.
You people realized that it is backward compatibility the biggest problem hanging over the security of MS products.
It is time to do it and they should have started with Windows 8. I guess no one at MS has the vision or the balls to make that move. Ballmer has no vision. He might understand numbers but I believe he lacks the enthusiasm needed to run a company like MS.
You guys remember when the Apple board fired Jobs and got a guy from Pepsi co. to run the company and he ran it to the ground. It takes a special kind of person to run something like Apple, Microsoft, even Unbuntu. MS does not have that person on board right now and they better get one fast!
Intel have tried to compete with their own monopoly with IA-64. It failed. And we've had a glimpse of what Microsoft competing with their own monopoly would be when they released Windows Vista : as of today, Windows XP is still the dominant release of Windows.
You're right that it's what they *should* do. But the thing is, they simply can't.

I guess I've been in a Christina Tosi mood lately. She's the pastry chef at Momofuku's Milk Bar in New York City and her Milk Bar cook book was just released in late October. I made Milk Bar's amazing crack pie recently (using the LA Times' version of her recipe not the recipe in the Milk Bar book which is slightly different) and her kitchen sink cookie, the compost cookie, remains one of my favorite go-to recipes. Then I saw Christina Tosi's blueberry and cream cookie recipe on Martha Stewart's site and I had to bake some right away. (BTW, the blueberry and cream cookie recipe in the Milk Bar book is different from the Martha Stewart one I used here.)
Tosi was inspired to make a cookie that tasted like a blueberry muffin and I have to agree that the dried blueberry version really does taste like the top of a blueberry muffin. The muffin top is the best part of the muffin, don't you think? I think it's the addition of the milk crumbs. Even though the extra step of making the milk crumb streusel seems fussy, I think it's really the key to making this cookie taste like a muffin.
I've made these cookies using only dried blueberries and another batch using a mix of dried blueberries, cherries and strawberries. All photos in this post are from the mixed berry batch.
Instead of making 14 very large cookies like the recipe states, I usually make about 4 dozen small cookies since I have a lot of mouths to feed. It's all about portion control. I might have assumed that 14 very large cookies would have encouraged people to share since a single cookie is quite large, but they still take one whole cookie. If it's big, they take one. If it's small, they take one or maybe two. Even if they took two cookies there would still be 24 servings instead just 14.
If you have fewer mouths to feed or if you keep company with people who like to share, I recommend making them super large like the recipe states especially if you want cookies that have soft centers and crisp edges. It's hard to get that texture when the cookies are portioned out into 48 small ones. Even so, the small cookies are still really, really good.
Blueberry and Cream Cookies
(Makes about 14 large cookies)
(Adapted from Martha)
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup (8 ounces) unsalted butter
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons light-brown sugar
1/4 cup glucose* (*I used Lyle's golden syrup instead of glucose)
1 large egg
3/4 cup dried blueberries (or mixed dried berries)
1 recipe of Milk Crumbs (see recipe below)
Line baking sheets with parchment paper; set aside.
In a large bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
In the bowl of an electric stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment mix together butter, both sugars, and glucose for about 2 minutes on medium speed. Add the egg and beat for 5-7 minutes on medium-high speed until it appears very pale yellow and has doubled in size.
Add flour mixture and mix on low speed until just barely incorporated. Remove from stand mixer. Add blueberries and milk crumbs and mix with a spoon or spatula until just combined.
Using an ice cream scoop about 2 1/8 inches in diameter, scoop dough into balls and place about 2 or 3 inches apart on prepared baking sheets.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Transfer baking sheets to refrigerator until dough is chilled, about 15 minutes. Transfer baking sheets to preheated oven and bake until cookies are golden brown and tops begin to crackle, about 15 minutes. Transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool.
Milk Crumbs
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon nonfat milk powder
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/4 cup white chocolate, melted
Preheat oven to 225 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons plus 1 1/2 teaspoons milk powder, flour, cornstarch, sugar, and salt. Stir in melted butter until well combined. Spread mixture on prepared baking sheet and transfer to oven. Bake until dried and crumbly, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove milk crumble from oven and let cool completely.
Transfer milk crumble to a large bowl and fold in remaining 2 tablespoons plus 1 1/2 teaspoons milk powder and white chocolate. Use immediately or transfer to an airtight container and keep refrigerated until ready to use.

two years ago, it was a monday. and it was valentines day. It was also pjamma day at work (daycare)
oliver had been diagnosed with MVD in November, and we had been watching him slow down over the last few months. theres something to be said knowing your best friend is dying and not being able to do a damn thing about it.
Saturday, his tummy bloated and we knew it was time. my parents were away, but we texted back and forth.
i rushed out to michaels and picked up a stepping stone kit, where grandma and i crafted a stone with his paw prints and sea glass. it has the inscription " Give him your heart, he'll give you his" from Marley and Me.
Sunday i had a bad fever and couldnt get off my couch.. Monday i went to work with a sore throat, and broken heart. We decided we would put him to sleep on friday. I had warned my coworkers when time comes i wouldnt be at work that day..but i told them since it was going to be that friday i would try and muddle through it.
a few hours later, i recieved a text message from my dad.. IT was time. he would be taking him in that day.
I was devestated.
Taking the kids inside..my coworker (who its pretty nasty person most of the time) asked how i was doing..and i started to cry..telling her about my dads texts. that i wasnt even going to get to say goodbye.
The nasty coworker..did the kindest thing she did for me in 4 years.
told me to go home. she said go home..say my goodbyes..spend time with my puppy..and then go to the doctor and get my throat checked out.
I got in my car and went to grandpas. in my jammies i sat in my grandpas living room and played with my puppy. My dad came...my mom came..and we all said our goodbyes.
i stayed untill my dad took oliver away.
then grandpa lent me some clothes so i could go to the doctor and get my throat checked...(i didnt wanna go in my pjs)
on my way to to get my throat checked, i tried to look over..to see my dad taking oliver to my sisters work to say goodbye. It was the last glimps of him i ever got.
i never made it to the doctors..i turned around and went home..cralwed into bed..and cried untill i couldnt cry anymore.
i recieves messages from my sister..asking if i was okay (she knew how close i was to oliver)
i recieved messages from my cousins fiance(of one day) saying how sorry he was..
when i finally dragged my bum outa bed and got to the doctor that night..he said i had strept throat and was to be in bed for two days.
it gave me time to mourn my baby before going back to work.
As many on cavalier talk know..it was a very very hard year for me. Christmas eve was probably the worst of it all..because the memories of our 'last christmas' together was so fresh. chrsitmas you have traditions..you do the same things..see the same people..year after year (or at least we do) so to be doing the exzact same thing that year with out my buddy, was rough. but i put on a brave face..and no one knew how much i was hurting.
that night..my cousin decided to leave her (annoying) dog at my aunts house where i was staying..and he came down and slept with me..in the spot oliver had the year before. It was a comfort at least..but i did spend the night crying myself to sleep.
Last valentines day was the yearaversary.. i had some pretty strong words for the day..that i only would relay to my closest friends and coworkers, (never to my parents)i tried to keep it positive..gave out valentines to random people..people in my building i never met..the bus driver.. we got together with neighbours i grew up with..that i hadnt seen in over a year because my parents sold the house..
Two years..and a lot of changes.
Im finally in a different job..that i love.. in a basement suiet close to the area i grew up in only nicer, instead of the apartment building in the bad area of town).it finally feels like home... and i have a 4 month old puppy snuggled up on the back of the couch, retsing her head on my shoulder as i type now. I am happy. i am in a good place in life..and i am happy. things are good.
still.. i am not at a point where i can say happy valentines day and mean it. Its not a happy day for me..and its not because ive been single every single year ..its because it reminds me of my buddy..and how i miss him. I dont like all the hearts..the cards..the flowers..the cookies..
thats the trouble of a tragic thing happening on a significant date...you remember that date..and you relive it year after year.
We lost our 13 year old cat max a yearish before oliver, to kidney failure. I dont remember the date. So you dont dread it for days coming up..you dont mope the whole day. just every now and then..remember him.
My best friend was to get married on september 11th. she said she wanted to turn a negitive day into a positive one..have people remember happy times on that date.
I was a brides maid.. and my parents were invited. I talked to dad that morning and he said mom couldnt make it..she was sick (my moms never sick.) and thats exzactly what i said to him. and thats exzact quote my bestfriend said to me when i said she was sick. shes NEVER sick.
so she begged me to invite my grandma. last minute..but my family is her family (we are pretty much sisters..and she is not close to her family..they werent invited)
i called..no answer...she asked me to keep trying but i felt weird enough calling last minute i didnt try again just agreed to.
it was forgotten..untill laster that night..dad pulled me aside and said my mom...infact was not sick (NEVER IS) ..it was my grandpa.. he had a massive heart attack..and wasnt expected to make it. and if he did..hed be extreemly brain damaged. the whole family was over from vancouver(all 18 of them)
it was spetmeber 11th. When something happens on a significant date..you remember.
so while everyone updates their status's 'i remember what i was doing 10 years ago" i said "i remember what i was doing last year" every single minute of that day is engraved into my memory. i will never forget it.
Grandpa..by the way.. as many of you probably already know.. is doing just fine. he pulled through..with absolutly no brain damage..man has a better memory then i do. He is currently helping out with Maggie.
The family now calls him superman.
My favorite band..the script..released a song on their latest album..the first lines in one of the song are
"it was febuary 14th, valentines day. the roses came but they took you away." It hits close to home for me.
Its a true story, was written about the guys dad..who died on valentines day. it's called "if you could see me now" if anyone wants to check it out. It's pretty good.
2 years..a lot has changed. Im happy.. but every now and then..especially on valentines day..i get a little sad.. i am still thinking of you buddy.
i love you. and i miss you. Keep an eye out for meeko..he will be joining you and maxie soon.

A Northern Irish Minister who compared abortion levels to the Holocaust has been criticized by pro-choice campaigners.
During an Assembly debate, DUP junior minister Jonathan Bell said the Western world has "destroyed more viable human life" than Hitler put through the gas chambers in World War II, the Belfast Telegraph reports.
Bell, who works for the office of First Minister and Deputy First Minister also asked for the "forgiveness of God" after MLA's rejected attempts to outlaw private abortion clinics in Northern Ireland.
Abortion is currently illegal in Northern Ireland, unless a woman's life is at risk. But medical abortions up to nine weeks are available at the Marie Stopes family private clinic in Belfast, which opened in October amid massive controversy.
Bell asked MLAs last Tuesday: "Is it not the case that we in the West should hang our heads in abject shame? We have to face the truth that, in the West, we have destroyed more viable human life than Hitler ever put into a gas chamber."
He added: "May God forgive us for what we have done in this House today — the God who said he knew us and formed us in our mother's womb. I believe that those boys and girls who are in their mother's womb are being let down."
Dr Audrey Simpson, director of the Family Planning Association in Northern Ireland criticized his choice of words.
"I think it is unfortunate that in Northern Ireland, unlike the other legislative structures in the rest of the country, we cannot have a debate without this offensive language.
"It is also disrespectful of women who have gone through this because of their own personal circumstances which may include rape, incest or because they have been told their pregnancy is not viable."
Alliance for Choice group spokeswoman, Goretti Horgan said Bell's comments have caused anger.
"I find it incredibly insulting to the tens of thousands of women from Northern Ireland who have had abortions, and for reasons which are ethical, and about their own specific family circumstances.
"It is particularly insulting also to those, and there are some from the Jewish tradition living in Northern Ireland who may have family who went through the Holocaust.
"To compare the suffering of people who went through the Holocaust, who were sentient, fully realised human beings, with women who are refusing life, not taking life but refusing it, is just incredible."

Denis Brodeur was a photography legend
Photographer Denis Brodeur with a framed sequence of photos he shot in Moscow on Sept. 28, 1972 of Team Canada's Paul Henderson scoring the game- and series-winning goal in the historic Canada-USSR Summit Series.
Photograph by: Dave Stubbs
MONTREAL - The most famous of the more than one million photographs Denis Brodeur shot during his lifetime was taken 41 years ago this Saturday, in Moscow's Luzhniki Palace of Sports.
The grainy black-and-white image is one of only two taken of the most famous instant in Canadian hockey history, Brodeur's shot a mirror-image of a frame taken by a colleague at his shoulder.
This Brodeur shot, and a great many more of his images, will be in focus again in the days to come with the photography legend's passing Thursday in a Montreal hospital.
Brodeur, the father of New Jersey Devils goaltending superstar Martin Brodeur, was 82, having been in delicate health for 19 months with brain tumours that required several operations.
Brodeur's iconic 1972 shot freezes Team Canada's Paul Henderson being bear-hugged by teammate Yvan Cournoyer after having scored what would be the winning goal in the monumental Summit Series between Canada and the U.S.S.R.
A year ago, on the 40th anniversary of the heart-stopping moment, Brodeur told me it was the greatest photo he ever took.
"I could never beat this," he said. "I've taken photos of Martin with the Stanley Cup and his (2002 and 2010) Olympic gold medals. But I'll never do better than my picture of Henderson."
You will see the celebration photo either from the camera of Brodeur, who was freelancing in Moscow for a variety of clients and a book project, or that of the late Toronto Star photographer Frank Lennon, both men firing their 35mm Kodak-film Nikons at the same instant.
Brodeur suspected his image, one of some 3,000 he took during the Summit Series trip to Moscow for Games 5-8, was something special.
But it would be hours before he knew for sure, his film developed at the newspaper office of Isvestia by a technician he had befriended with sweets resourcefully packed in Canada as calling cards and bribes.
It was the ultimate test of faith, the Soviets bitter at the loss.
"I always looked for somebody who smiled," Brodeur told me of cleverly navigating his dour hosts. "I got friendly with an usher, gave him some chocolate and he gave me good spots to shoot."
Brodeur and I spoke for hours over the past 16 years, and I'm convinced we didn't scratch the surface of his cache of stories.
The compact ball of energy was one of this country's top senior amateur goalers, an Allan Cup champion during his playing days and a bronze medallist on the country's 1956 Olympic Winter Games team in Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy, as a member of the Kitchener-Waterloo Dutchmen.
Brodeur père had knocked around junior, senior and minor-pro hockey, even playing a season in Victoriaville with Jean Béliveau. And then he took up photography at Montreal's Immaculate Conception Sports Centre, peddling his publicity shots to newspapers around town.
Jacques Beauchamp, the larger-than-life sports editor of Montréal-Matin, offered him a job freelancing, work complicated by the fact Brodeur didn't have a pass to get into the Forum and that he was shooting crime for some of the city's spicy tabloids.
Canadiens GM Frank Selke finally gave Brodeur access, his first photos shot from behind the low corner glass as he balanced his boxy Roliflex with one hand and lifted his flash above the glass with the other.
He would shoot a single frame, wait maybe 10 minutes for his dying flash to recycle, and hope that by the end of the game he'd have an image he could sell Beauchamp for $3.
Brodeur eventually spent $1,500 on a system of strobe flashes to bolt into the Forum ceiling. His photos, 2¼-inch negatives pulled from his brick-weight Hasselblad, took on an almost three-dimensional effect, with a richness by far surpassing news photographers of the day.
"You could drop a penny from the roof of the Forum and I could freeze it halfway down," he said proudly.
One Hasselblad shot, seven seconds for the strobes to recycle, then another shot, for the entire game.
For decades, Brodeur would shoot the Canadiens for newspapers and for the team, pint-sized son Martin often helping out as a lighting assistant.
He snapped Expos mug shots at spring training and souped film in motel bathtubs on the road because his wife, Mireille, the mother of the couple's three sons and two daughters, wasn't fussy about flying.
Brodeur shot baseball action, too, and was crushed the night before his first surgery in February 2012 when one of his favourites in the sport, Expos star Gary Carter, died of a brain tumour.
The photographer worked at his own pace; he was a fixture at every major sporting event in and around Montreal — the Olympics, golf, pro-wrestling and more — and forever in his later years was right behind the Bell Centre glass for every Devils visit, in Martin's corner for two periods, to shoot his son.
Brodeur published many books of his own work, and his work appeared in hundreds of others.
On Dec. 21, 2009, Martin Brodeur eclipsed the NHL's shutout record of 103 held by the late Terry Sawchuk, a standard thought to be untouchable.
Maybe five years earlier, Denis Brodeur had stumbled upon a large, dusty, framed Sawchuk photo in a Montreal store. He bought it, and when Martin earned historic shutout No. 104, Denis reframed the Sawchuk photo with one of his own pictures of Martin beside it, with engraved plaques No. 103 and No. 104 beneath the two images, as a gift for his son.
"That's the pride of my family," Martin told me when he learned of the present.
Four months after his first surgery, with Martin Brodeur playing in the Devils' 2012 Stanley Cup final against Los Angeles, Denis and a friend drove to New Jersey.
There, for Game 2, he gave Martin the maple leaf-emblazoned wool sweater he wore in 1956 on an Olympic rink and the fibreglass mask he wore at the end of his career. The crude protection was moulded by Bill Burchmore, who crafted Jacques Plante's first NHL mask.
Four months earlier, days before his father's surgery, Martin had flown into Montreal to give Denis the game puck marking the Devils goalie's NHL-leading 117th career shutout, his 140th including playoffs, earned just hours after he had learned of his father's cancer.
It is the only one of 145 shutout pucks that is not in Martin Brodeur's trophy case, and one that now will have profound emotional meaning for the future Hall of Famer when he sadly adds it to his collection.

Part of USS Cincinnati coming to town
Submarine's sail to be available this fall
Part of USS Cincinnati coming to town
Submarine's sail to be available this fall
Cincinnati is ready to welcome a Cold War relic to a new home - the sail from its namesake U.S. submarine.
The sail, or conning tower, is the large vertical fin with "wings," or sail planes, on either side that rises about 18 feet. It has a cockpit at the top.
The Cincinnati Enquirer reports that the Navy says the sail from the decommissioned USS Cincinnati will be ready for pickup in October.
It's been two years since Navy approved release of the structure to Cincinnati for a memorial site. Private donors have offered to cover the cost to bring the sail from a Seattle area shipyard.
Its new resting place isn't definite yet. It has been slated for a riverfront park, if the timing works out.

Helen Bauzon necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 116 diseños de 34 diseñadores freelance.
You can visit my website to learn more about me and or my products and services http://www.GlobalGastricBandSolutions.com.au
I am wanting to produce a logo to brand food products in the supermarket that are great choices for anyone who has had weight loss surgery
Now a little about me:
I work as a consultant dietitian specialising in Lap Band Surgery, having counseled over 3000 people with the band.
My passion is to provide quality education to help the banded individual succeed with the lap band, as most people fail.
I have produced a series of DVD's and a book in addition to providing seminars and support groups in person and globaly on-line.
I have a fun and easy going personality that is well projected within my resources and presentations
My next step now is to help the individual who has chosen weight loss surgery to lose weight to make better food choices while shopping. There are two other main logos in Australia that are food related, the heart floundation tick and the GI symbol. (attached are examples of these two logos)
Even though I specialise in Lap Band surgery, this logo will be just as suitable for any other weight loss surgery available such as the balloon(place a 700ml full balloon into the stomach to reduce the capacity), bypass (cut 90% of the stomach out and bypass most of the small intestine) and sleeve gastrectomy (cut out 90% of the stomach). The dietary principles of all procedures are very similar. Hence I am looking for a logo that is generic enough to visually cover all types of surgeries rather than focussing on just one.
The market is the person who has had any type of weight loss surgery. The people are desperate to lose weight and control their health and tend to put little effort into their food choices. If they can see a logo and simply know that it will be a good choice, they will make it rather tahn trying to determine this themselves.
AIM: to produce a logo that has some type of symbol or picture so that when such a symbol is seen in the future they remember the cause - a healthy food choice for weight loss surgery
The foods highlighted will be low in calories but also very nutritious, to make every mouthful count.
(1) I want the words "Weight Loss Surgery - Nutrition" to be incorporated some how
(2) to project an image that it is approved as a great food choice
(3) To have an image within the logo, where it can stand alone in the future and be remembered as an ideal food choice for people who have had weight loss surgery. ie, such as the apple picture is to apple computers (as an example)
(4) I like the logo to have a 3D appearance to it, to be fresh and modern looking
(5) Avoid using any images that depicts any weight loss surgery in isolation
(6) I like a circular appearance but not essential
(7) I do lean towards having some green color in the logo as it projects,
to go (not stop as in red)/choose/healthy
(8) A medical tone if possible would be great
(9) the logo must look different to the two other logos currently in the market place in Australia. I do not want to look like I am copying anyone.
Thank-you for your efforts and creativity, feel free to contact me for further details if you like for further clarrification

MADIS Web Services Portal
The Meteorological Assimilation Data Ingest System (MADIS) makes value-added data available from the NOAA Earth System Research Laboratory (ESRL) Global Systems Division (GSD) (formerly the Forecast Systems Laboratory (FSL)) for the purpose of improving weather forecasting, by providing support for data assimilation, numerical weather prediction, and other hydrometeorological applications. MADIS subscribers have access to an integrated and easy-to-use database containing quality-controlled, real-time and archived datasets.
MADIS also includes an Application Program Interface (API) that provides users with easy access to the data and quality control (QC) information. The API allows each user to specify station and observation types, as well as QC choices, and domain and time boundaries. Many of the implementation details that arise in data ingest programs are automatically performed. Users of the MADIS API, for example, can choose to have their wind data automatically rotated to a specified grid projection, and/or choose to have mandatory and significant levels from radiosonde data interleaved, sorted by descending pressure, and corrected for hydrostatic consistency. For users who do not want to write their own programs, but would like easy access to the MADIS data, utility programs for each dataset are included in the API package. These programs can be used to read station information, observations, and QC information for a single time, and dump these to an output text file. The operation of each program is controlled by a text parameter file that allows the user to exercise all of the options included in the MADIS system. Software built with the API, both the utility programs included with the package and user-written programs, can be used as OPeNDAP clients to access the data directly from this server. All of the functionality of the API is also available on this server, for the meteorological and hydrological surface datasets, via the Text/XML Viewer described below.
The ESRL/GSD MADIS database and API are freely available to interested parties in the meteorological community.
For information on what datasets are currently available, for information on other access methods (e.g., ftp and LDM), and for more information on MADIS in general, please go to the MADIS home page.
MADIS data made accessible from this portal are organized for the convenience of users who have a need for data on-demand, as contrasted with continuous real-time access. In general, users who require a continuous datafeed will get better performance by accessing the data via ftp or LDM.
All MADIS datasets are available for OPeNDAP clients (such as the MADIS API) that provide support for the MADIS data.
The MADIS Meteorological and Hydrological Surface datasets can be viewed in either text or XML formats.
All users should request an account (OPenDAP, Text/XML) by filling in the application form at http://madis.noaa.gov/data_application.html.
Because some of the datasets are restricted, when you obtain an account you will be assigned a distribution category. Once your account has been activated, you can login to this server by clicking on the login link to your distribution category shown below. Once logged in, you can use a client (such as the OPeNDAP-enabled MADIS API) that has already been configured to retrieve the data, or for OPenDAP access, you can navigate down to the desired directory in order to access the data of interest.

- Stephen Fry
"Absolutely exquisite."
- Hugh Laurie
From the jacket:
SUM is a dazzling exploration of funny and unexpected afterlives that have never been considered -- each presented as a vignette that offers us a stunning lens through which to see ourselves here and now.
In one afterlife you may find that God is the size of a microbe and is unaware of your existence. In another, your creators are a species of dim-witted creatures who built us to figure out what they could not. In a different version of the afterlife you work as a background character in other people's dreams. Or you may find that God is a married couple struggling with discontent, or that the afterlife contains only those people whom you remember, or that the hereafter includes the thousands of previous gods who no longer attract followers. In some afterlives you are split into your different ages; in some you are forced to live with annoying versions of yourself that represent what you could have been; in others you are re-created from your credit card records and Internet history. David Eagleman proposes many versions of our purpose here; we are mobile robots for cosmic mapmakers, we are reunions for a scattered confederacy of atoms, we are experimental subjects for gods trying to understand what makes couples stick together.
These wonderfully imagined tales -- at once funny, wistful, and unsettling -- are rooted in science and romance and awe at our mysterious existence: a mixture of death, hope, computers, immortality, love, biology, and desire that exposes radiant new facets of our humanity.

text: Hi Gerry, I'm by no means an expert on WRF so take the following with a grain of salt, but I'm inclined to think that WRF wouldn't really run very well on a cluster of PS3s. The problem being that with < 200 MB total, giving ~ 25MB per SPU, you're limited to a pretty small number of grid points per SPU, which means they'll fly through all the computations on those very few grid points,... and then very, very slowly communicate through the gigabit network. Even if you can get 2GB on each PS3, that's still only 256MB per SPU, right? Again, my WRF experience is admittedly tremendously limited but a recent 3D run I did with a 300x300x200 domain size required a little over 12GB of RAM, I believe. The code had a few custom modifications, but I doubt that changed the run-time characteristics drastically, and the resulting run took something like 12.8 seconds on 8 processors,... and 11.8 seconds on 16 processors. (Two nodes and four nodes in this case.) Speeding up the calculations through smaller grids and the very fast SPUs just means that the communication would be, relatively speaking, even longer. Since we do have some people who need to run some pretty large WRF models, I'd be happy if this *did* work, but if you're interested in novel architectures for WRF, I would think that perhaps a GPU (or FPGA with many FP units) connected to a PCI-Express bus with Infiniband links would be nicer. The IB would hopefully allow you to balance out the extremely fast computations. If I can, once the double precision GPUs are out, I'll be picking one up for experimentation, but mostly for home-grown codes - WRF may take a bit more effort. The guys are NCAR do seem to have done some work in this area, though, running one of WRF's physics modules on an NVIDIA 8800 card - you can read about here: http://www.mmm.ucar.edu/wrf/WG2/michalakes_lspp.pdf My two cents. :-) (PS. Ooh, now, if one could have a 'host system' with a large amount of RAM to pipe in to the GPU, running very large models, I could see that potentially working well as an *accelerator*. Say, 32-64GB of RAM, of which it deals with 2 x 128MB 'tiles' at a time - one being cached and written by the GPU while the other computes - and once all the acceleration is done, use the host to quickly synchronize via IB with other large nodes. But that's probably a fair amount of work!) - Brian Brian Dobbins Yale Engineering HPC -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C. -- Appearing together for the first time as partners, not rivals, former presidential candidate Tim Pawlenty today announced he was throwing his support behind Mitt Romney for president.
Pawlenty introduced Romney today here, where Romney rolled out his plan for working with labor unions, after the pair toured Boeing's new plant here -- the subject of a controversial lawsuit filed by the National Labor Relations Board.
Pawlenty, who will become Romney's national co-chair and will travel with the candidate to Florida for tonight's CNN/Tea Party debate, was effusive in his praise for his former rival.
"Mitt Romney has the most knowledge, the most capability, the most electability of any candidate in this race," Pawlenty said.
Pawlenty did not always have such kind words for Romney. He has called Romney a "co-conspirator" on President Obama's health-care plan, but said today that Romney's commitment to repealing the program overrode any qualms he had about Romney's own health-care plan in Massachusetts, often seen as a model for the president's plan.
"He has also been very clear with me and very clear with the country that when he's president of the United States, on Day One, he will do everything he can to repeal Obamacare," Pawlenty told reporters.
Democrats pounced on the apparent contradiction between Pawlenty's past criticism of Romney's record on health care and his newfound support for the candidate, but a senior adviser to the Romney campaign told NBC News that Pawlenty's endorsement would help validate "why health care isn't the issue that everyone thinks it is in the primary."
Of course, Democrats have had plenty of former rivals endorse each other, including Hillary Clinton, who went to work as President Obama's Secretary of State.
Romney called the endorsement a "natural fit," noting that the two have long been friends and their families had recently spent time together.
Both men downplayed the possibility of Pawlenty becoming Romney's vice-presidential choice, with Romney calling such speculation "presumptuous" and Pawlenty saying he doesn't want to be considered.
Besides announcing the endorsement, the primary purpose of Romney's speech was to outline his labor policies. He framed them around the ongoing feud between the NLRB and Boeing, over its decision to locate a billion-dollar plant in non-union South Carolina.
Romney said the NLRB's suit was an unacceptable example of the board's interference in private enterprise, and of labor's political clout with the Democratic Party.
"There is without a question an egregious example of political payback where the president is able to pay back unions for the hundreds of millions of dollars they put into his campaign at the expense of American workers, of American jobs," he said.
Romney's plan includes several major points: Appointing "even-handed arbiters" to the NLRB more in line with Romney's vision for the board; maintaining the secret ballot for workers voting on unionization; and prohibiting union dues from going directly to political causes. Romney would also overturn President Obama's executive order giving preference to unionized workers for government contracts.
Romney also received a warm response when he said he would push Congress to pass legislation that would prohibit the NLRB from shutting down Boeing's facility here. Congressman Tim Scott, a local Tea Party favorite here, has already proposed such legislation.
In a possible preview of tonight's debate, Romney hinted that the "mulligan" he gave Texas Gov. Rick Perry over his efforts to require teen girls in Texas to receive an HPV vaccine might have expired.
Asked whether his own health-care mandate would preclude him from appealing to South Carolina conservatives, Romney defended himself by pointing to a number of less controversial Massachusetts mandates, including for drivers to own car insurance and for children to go to school. And another controversial mandate in another very specific state.
"Some states, Texas for instance, mandate that young girls, or did mandate that young girls, had to get inoculations for sexually transmitted diseases," Romney said.
"There are a wide range of mandates, so that's not breaking new ground. But what we did was right for our state, and simply wrong for our nation," he added.

Dear Francis, thank you very much for the January tutorial. I love leaves!
I have an important question: I would not like actually sandwich much turn while quilten. I can turn a small project, but if I sew - for example – a great project like a bedspread or so, then not. As you can see at the two photos on my blog, the result is very different. If I do not turn, the sheets become creepy. If I turn, some less. ; -). Thanks you for an answer.
Many greetings from Nuremberg

Love it...just in time for Valentine's. Thanks, as always, for your terrific ideas.

Your blog page is incredibly awesome.

I'm joining the 2012 FMQ Challenge late in the game, and just now watched your video tutorial for January. I love the leaves, especially this spiral version and I can't wait to try it out for myself!
One question -- I'm so intrigued that you do NOT wear gloves, because I have had teachers tell me I MUST wear them and I hate them SO much... If you don't wear gloves, is there something else you're doing or using to help you grip the quilt for FMQ?

General Motors calls the ZL1 "the highest-performing Camaro and the most technically advanced car ever developed in its class." But, more than the sheer power from its 6.2-litre supercharged V8, GM says the ZL1 features technologically advanced and highly developed chassis and suspension systems that help the car deliver balanced, track-ready handling and braking power.
For the new ZL1, the LSA supercharged V8 produces 580 hp at 6,000 rpm and 556 pound-feet of torque at 4,200 rpm, with specific features for the Camaro.
A high-performance Tremec TR-6060 six-speed manual is standard with the LSA V8. GM says this MG9 version of the transmission has 30% more torque capacity than the SS. A new, shorter-throw shifter actuates the gear changes. Similarly, the available Hydra-Matic 6l90 automatic has been strengthened to handle the torque and horsepower.
The suspension features completely revised tuning and the inclusion of Magnetic Ride Control. The ZL1's Magnetic Ride system includes three settings – Tour, Sport and Track.
The ZL1 will also offer Performance Traction Management (PTM) as standard equipment. First introduced on the Corvette, PTM integrates Magnetic Ride Control, launch control, traction control and electronic stability control. Five PTM performance levels are available to accommodate the given ambient and track conditions, driver experience/vehicle familiarity and driver comfort. For the hairy-chested out there, it can also be deactivated.
As if the Camaro SS in 426-hp form isn't temptation enough, GM ups the stakes in the pony car wars with a product that it declares to be "track ready right from the showroom." Unfortunately, motor heads will have to wait until early next year to be corrupted.

In its final years
|Eggner Ferry Bridge
Eggner Ferry Bridge is named for the Eggner Ferry that crossed the Tennessee River at that location for many years. The ferry ceased operation when this bridge was built across the river in 1932. In the early 1940s, the bridge was raised and extended before the Tennessee river was dammed* and Kentucky Lake was formed.
|Eggner Ferry Bridge
In the meantime, the existing bridges must be repaired as necessary to keep them safe. These last few years are going to be especially rough on them because of all the heavy trucks bringing materials for the road and bridge construction.
I got these photos ready to post a couple of weeks ago, and now I see that I misspelled "Eggner" when I labeled them. They will have to stay that way for now. I've been having computer problems, and with the setup I'm using currently, I don't have much for photo-editing software to correct my error. Like the bridges, my computers need some repair, maintenance, and eventual replacement!
* Kentucky Dam on the Tennessee River and Barkley Dam on the Cumberland River are just two of many dams that were built by the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) during the 1930s and 1940s.
When Kentucky Dam and Barkley Dam were built, hundreds of families were relocated from the Tennessee River valley, the Cumberland River valley, and the Land Between the Rivers near the Kentucky/Tennessee border and northward. Hundreds of homes and buildings were torn down. Cemeteries were moved to high ground. The "Land Between The Rivers" became the "Land Between The Lakes" under TVA control. Much of the two lakes' outer shore lines was put under state control.

Improved electronics with increased memory for future expansion
NexStar+ hand control offers multiple language programming (English, French, Italian, German, Spanish)
Engineered from the ground up with astroimaging in mind, the new Advanced VX series from Celestron sets a new standard in mid-level telescopes. Advanced VX provides you with many of the features found on Celestrons most sophisticated German equatorial mounts, at an extremely affordable price.
The new Advanced VX mount was specifically designed to provide optimum imaging performance for smaller telescopes. Now your smaller telescope can take advantage of All-Star Polar Alignment and autoguider support. Youll be able to track through long exposures using permanently programmable periodic error correction. Image across the meridian without doing a meridian flip, so you can seamlessly image the best part of night sky. Advanced VX features significantly larger base castings than our previous design, improving stability under heavier loads. Improved motors offer more torque and can handle slight load imbalances with ease.
Experienced imagers will love taking this portable mount to a dark sky site, with all the performance of their larger observatory mount. Or, if youre new to imaging, this mount will help you get started with the hobby and keep up with your needs for years to come.
Unfortunately our dealer agreements with Meade, Coronado, Celestron and Orion only permits us to ship their telescopes and accessories to addresses inside the United States of America.

A double homicide in North Topsail Beach marked the first killings in the town since it was incorporated.
Double homicide marks first slayings in beach town
A double homicide in North Topsail Beach marked the first killings in the town since it was incorporated.
Nearly two months after the slayings, a woman was charged in connection to one of the deaths.
Bekka Shellhammer, 20, of Sneads Ferry, was charged with murder on Sept. 24 in connection to the July 25 stabbing death of Christopher Stewart. The other man found dead was Shellhammer�s husband, Robert Clinton Shellhammer IV, 31, of Sneads Ferry. No one has been charged in connection to his death.
Bekka Shellhammer has a court date scheduled for Feb. 5.
Guilty plea, not-guilty verdict in murder trials
There were two very different outcomes in Onslow County�s two murder trials this past year.
John Giltz, a Swansboro man and Vietnam Veteran, pleaded guilty to second-degree murder for the shooting death of Suzy Zemlick, a woman living with him and his wife.
Giltz shot Zemlick on Jan. 23 at his home on South Dogwood Lane in Swansboro. He pleaded guilty to the death on May 6. According to the North Carolina Department of Public Safety, he is currently serving a 10 to 13-year sentence at Maury Correctional Institution.
Six months later, another Onslow County man walked free after being found not guilty of the death of his neighbor more than three years earlier. Nickey Yates, 22, was acquitted on Nov. 21 of all charges filed against him, including the Nov. 1, 2010, death of his former neighbor, Linda Hulsman, 53. He had spent three years in jail before being allowed to go free following the verdict.
Bingo Hall slaying arrests
Two men were charged this year in connection to the shooting death of a grandmother at a Jacksonville bingo hall.
Kim Hua Flournoy, a frequent visitor to the TNT Beach Bingo hall on Henderson Drive, was shot to death outside of the establishment on Dec. 30, 2012. After an investigation that included the most tips called into Onslow County�s Crime Stoppers tip line, Larry Forrest and James Edward Williamson, both Camp Lejeune Marines, were arrested by the Jacksonville Police Department. Forrest was charged with murder and attempted robbery with a dangerous weapon on April 16. Williamson was charged with an open count of murder, attempted robbery with a dangerous weapon and conspiracy to commit robbery with a dangerous weapon on July 29.
Both men were placed in jail without bond.
