People are being infected by anti-vaxx lies – and that should be made illegal
An anti-vaxxer could infect 1.2 people and 1.2 more after that; it's the wilful infection of our parents, grandparents and friends
Celia Walden 16 November 2020 • 7:00pm
"You wouldn't actually have the jab?" my cab driver baulks, staring back at me in his rear view mirror. There's a moment's silence in which I regret having tried to make conversation with a cheery "what about this Pfizer vaccine, eh? That's the game-changer we needed!" and debate whether it might be better for both my blood pressure and his to find a polite get-out and end this here.
But with his outraged brows and wide conspiracy-theorist pupils, he's prodded the bear, and woken the beast. I hear myself reply in as measured a tone as I can manage: "Not only would I have it, but I'd have it as soon as it's rolled out. Hell – they can even double-dose me if they want." "But it's made in China!" the cabbie flings back. Deep breath. "No. It's not. Pfizer is an American company, and BioNTech is German." His eyes narrow: "That's what they're telling us."
It's when the sinister "they" makes an appearance that any conversation with an anti-vaxxer must be curtailed, along with every attempt at logic. "They" are the amorphous dark forces unaccountably apparently trying to poison us all; "they" are the hooded villains at the heart of every anti-vax group's stream of disinformation.
When I wrote about the 14 per cent of Brits who declared they "would not want to be vaccinated against the coronavirus even if a high-quality vaccine were available" back in July, my inbox was filled with 'theys' for weeks afterwards. So it was heartening to read the findings of a recent survey by ORB International – published on Sunday – in which four out of five Brits agreed that those who spread anti-vax disinformation should face prosecution.
We're not talking about people like my cab driver being hauled off in cuffs (although by the end of that 20-minute journey and his detailed explanation of why Turkish scientists couldn't be trusted either, I was fantasising about worse fates), but the heads of anti-vax groups with hundreds of thousands of members who are still churning out disinformation. Those people, like the 'phone masters' who claimed 5G networks were causing the spread of Covid, aren't just stupid; they're dangerous.
As Shadow Culture Secretary Jo Stevens rightfully pointed out when she branded the Government's record on tackling disinformation throughout the pandemic "pitiful": "This is literally a matter of life and death and anyone who is dissuaded from being vaccinated because of this is one person too many."
Only it's not just one too many, as we know from our current R-rate, but the added 1.2 people they will in turn infect, and the 1.2 people after that; it's the wilful infection of our parents and grandparents, our vulnerable friends and relatives. So yes, the propagation of potentially fatal lies should be made illegal. And yes, as Imran Ahmed, chief executive of the Centre for Countering Digital Hate has said, the Government needs to step up when it comes to "falling for Big Tech's excuses, and introduce financial and criminal penalties for failures that lead to serious harm."
When I read one of ORB International's further findings – that only half of the 2,000 people questioned believed a vaccine produced in record time could be safe – I wasn't surprised. I thought back to some of the emails I got in response to my July column. Not the ones peppered with ominous 'theys', but also the carefully thought out messages from self-described 'vaccine hesitants' who simply wanted more information before giving their informed consent.
There were readers who started their defensive emails with "we are not 'anti-vaxxers' nor 'Covid deniers' and consider ourselves well-balanced," and went on to explain their concerns about a vaccine "that has not been widely tested." One told me about the devastating effects of Thalidomide on a family friend, while another – a devout Catholic – explained his fears that the only successful vaccine might be developed using the cell-lines from aborted foetuses, making it morally repugnant to those with the same beliefs.
Catholics should be able to rest easy in the knowledge that the Pfizer vaccine wasn't made using such cells but through genetic sequencing using computers. Everyone should be able to find out precisely how the new Moderna vaccine – which is showing early signs of being 95% effective – was developed. But that kind of information can only reach its target audiences if public health messaging around vaccines is strong enough; if legitimate questions are being answered comprehensively, and if the kind of anti-vax groups who swoop and prey on our fears are stamped out.
Otherwise there will be smoke without fire. The spreaders of misinformation and disinformation specialise in dropping precisely the kind of smoke bombs that obscure fact and rationality. 'They' are the hooded villains and the unregulated, not the scientists working day and night to free us from this pandemic.
'They' are the poison we should fear most.

Resource: HRSA 2019-2020 Health Equity Report
Materials & News / Health Equity, Resources
The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) Office of Health Equity released its 2019-2020 Health Equity Report on October 14.
The report has a special feature on housing and health inequalities in the U.S. and shows the impact of housing status and housing conditions – a key social determinant – on population health and health equity. The report indicates that substantial progress has been made nationally for all Americans on life expectancy, cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes, and influenza and pneumonia. However, health inequities between population groups and geographic areas persist. Key take-aways from the report include:
Life expectancy for all Americans increased from 68.2 years in 1950 to 78.6 years in 2017; however, American Indians/Alaska Natives (AIAN) and Blacks life expectancy was 74.3 and 76.0 years respectively.
Homeless patients (28%) are significantly more likely to report serious psychological distress than community health center patients (14%) and public housing primary care center patients (16%).
Children living in subsidized housing units are four times more likely to be in fair/poor health than those living in owner-occupied homes (4.4% vs. 1.1%).
The report findings will help HRSA and its partners to improve health outcomes and address health disparities through access to quality services, a skilled health workforce and innovative, high-value programs.

Content Management Systems (CMS) are programs on which most websites run. This is special software that lets you edit pages and add content with very little technical knowledge. Using these programs comes at a price. While keeping the current version of a CMS like Wordpress or Joomla seems like the easier route, keeping outdated software comes with some risks.
Should my website be ADA compliant like my physical business location?
We have all seen or used them, from the ramp to get into a building, to the handicap bathroom in the back of the store. As a business owner, you know things like these are required by law. What you may not realize is that your website should have similar accessible features.
You may be asking yourself, "is this government mandated?", "Is this something I really need to be worried about?", or "Are the people that walk through my door really going to care?". I hope to try to answer these questions below.
Let me start off with a brief history of the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA). The ADA was signed into law by President George H. W. Bush back in 1990. The "too long; didn't read" (tl;dr) version is that the law eliminated unnecessary physical barriers to commercial and government buildings - think stairs and bathrooms. It also banned employment discrimination against the disabled. Fast forward to now, and as the saying goes, no good deed goes unpunished. The law has had some unintended consequences in the form of lawsuits and excessive costs for business owners to meet the ADA guidelines.

WHEN the Koeberg Nuclear Power Station came into operation in 1984, it had an expected lifespan of 40 years. By 2024 it would have been moth-balled. Now the word is that Eskom may extend the plant's life up to 60 years.
Johannes Kotze, project director: strategic nuclear projects at Eskom says the licence to operate Koeberg has no specified term and operation is subject to periodic reviews and risk-based assessments. It is accepted, however, that the Koeberg design in conjunction with the initiative contained in the station Life of Plant Plans, currently supports an operational life of 40 to 50 years. By 2014, unit 1 will have been in operation for 30 years, with unit 2 reaching the equivalent operational age by 2015.
Kotze will be one of the guest speakers at this year's Physical Asset Management Conference presented by Pragma, which takes place from 13 to 15 August 2012. Kotze will be speaking on Koeberg's Long Term Asset Management project.
The Koeberg Power station is just 25km from Cape Town and is the only nuclear power station in Africa. It boasts the largest turbine generators in the Southern Hemisphere and is the most southerly-situated nuclear power station in the world.
Kotze says the nuclear power station ranks amongst the safest of the world's top ranking PWR's of its vintage and is the most reliable Eskom power station.
"By 2014, unit 1 will have been in operation for 30 years, with unit 2 reaching the equivalent operational age by 2015. This is typically the point at which nuclear power plant operators purposely evaluate their long-term asset management strategies and, where applicable, either initiate processes for the approval and implementation of justifiable plant life extension initiatives or prepare for decommissioning.
Worldwide, there is an increasing trend amongst nuclear power plant utilities to opt for life extension, rather than decommissioning. There are life extension initiatives currently in progress in the South Korean, Swedish, Soviet, Swiss, US and French utilities," Kotze says.
"In line with these international approaches, Koeberg has commissioned a long term asset management project with the purpose of facilitating the decision on optimum plant life of Koeberg units 1 and 2, while taking into account the merits and demerits of current and future project strategies for major component and system refurbishments," says Kotze. After an internationally accepted approach, Eskom conducted a feasibility assessment which highlighted the technical challenges that impact the operational lifespan of Koeberg. "The general conclusion is that, when benchmarked against comparable utilities, no prohibitive technical challenges have been identified which would preclude a plant life extension of up to 60 years."
Kotze adds that the most significant financial hurdle identified is the replacement of the steam generators at the power station. He continues: "In line with international trends, Koeberg is considering using the margins provided through steam generator replacement to optimise the generating capacity of the units by increasing their thermal power."
Eskom performed an economic assessment on the generators which analysed the impact of life extension on capital requirements, future financial considerations and levelised electricity generation costs. "Based on the analyses, it is apparent that the economic modelling favours plant life extension to 60 years, together with the earlier implementation of the replacement project and concurrent power update," Kotze concludes.

Bill Gates Resigns from the Board Amidst Allegations by a Female Employee
lalluram news May 17, 2021
Microsoft probed into an intimate relation of the co-founder
Female employee alleges physical relationship with Gates in the year 2000
Gates resigned before the probes concluded
World: Resignation of Bill Gates in 2020 from Microsoft's Board of Directors came after the board hired a law firm to investigate a romantic relationship he had with a Microsoft employee.
Microsoft Corp. conducted an investigation in 2019 into the woman's allegations of prior sexual relationship with the co-founder.
During the probe, few board members ascertained Bill Gates inefficiently to continue as the Director at the software firm. However, it is reported that Gates stepped down before the board could make a formal decision on the matter.
"Microsoft received a concern in the latter half of 2019 that Bill Gates sought to initiate an intimate relationship with a company employee in the year 2000," Microsoft said in a statement. "A committee of the Board reviewed the concern, aided by an outside law firm, to conduct a thorough investigation. Throughout the investigation, Microsoft provided extensive support to the employee who raised the concern."
Meanwhile, a spokesperson for Gates quoted that the founder's decision to leave the board wasn't related to the allegations. "There was an affair almost 20 years ago which ended amicably," she said. She said the "claim of mistreatment of employees is also false," and that "the rumours and speculation surrounding Gates' divorce are becoming increasingly absurd and it's unfortunate that people who have little to no knowledge of the situation are being characterized as sources."
Earlier this month, Melinda Gates — Bill Gates' wife filed for divorce after 27 years of marriage. In a statement announcing their split, the couple said, "after a great deal of thought and a lot of work on our relationship, we have made the decision to end our marriage."

USA vs. El Salvador, 2020 friendly: Scouting El Salvador
The USMNT faces off against a CONCACAF foe.
By Brendan Joseph Dec 7, 2020, 6:01am PST
Share All sharing options for: USA vs. El Salvador, 2020 friendly: Scouting El Salvador
Troy Taormina-USA TODAY Sports
The United States men's national team is back in action, taking on El Salvador at Inter Miami CF Stadium in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Barring a last-minute scheduling surprise, this should be the last match of a trying and difficult year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. With a victory against a familiar opponent, Gregg Berhalter has the opportunity to close out 2020 undefeated.
The United States has a 17-1-5 all-time record against El Salvador. This is the Central American nation's first competitive match in almost a year, the most recent a 1-0 loss to Iceland in January. La Seleccion has failed to qualify for the World Cup since 1982. The team is in the upper tier of the CONCACAF region, reaching nearly every Gold Cup including the upcoming 2021 edition.
El Salvador is led by Carlos de los Cobos, who took over in 2018 and previously held the job from 2006 through 2009. He's been largely successful, sporting a 14-6-1 record, with a loss to Bermuda the only blight on his résumé. Under his leadership, the country easily finished atop its group in the Nations League, earning promotion to League A in the next edition of the tournament.
De los Cobos called in a 19-player roster for the match against the United States. Ten members are domestically based in the Salvadoran Primera División and four compete in the United States. The squad features a mix of seasoned veterans and young prospects.
GOALKEEPERS (2): Henry Hernández (CD Malacateco), Benjí Villalobos (CD Águila)
DEFENDERS (6): Alexander Larín (Isidro Metapán), Bryan Tamacas (Alianza FC), Jonathan Jiménez (Rio Grande Valley FC), Iván Mancia (Alianza FC), Alexander Mendoza (Santa Tecla), Roberto Domínguez (Bolívar)
MIDFIELDERS (8): Marvin Monterroza (Alianza FC), Narciso Orellana (Alianza FC), Juan Carlos Portillo (Alianza FC), Rodrigo Rivera (Santa Tecla), Denis Pineda (Técnico Universitario), Darwin Cerén (Houston Dynamo), Andrés Flores (Unattached), Pablo Punyed (KR Reykjavík)
FORWARDS (3): José David Díaz (Santa Tecla), Joaquín Rivas (FC Tulsa), Dustin Corea (Unattached)
El Salvador is missing several key players. Mainstay midfielders Jaime Alás and Óscar Cerén were not called up. Reliable goal scorers Rodolfo Zelaya and Nelson Bonilla were not included in the roster. However, this is still close to a full-strength squad, taking advantage of one last fixture before beginning World Cup qualifying in March.
Tactically, De los Cobos is flexible, alternating between the 4-2-3-1 and 4-1-4-1 formations. The latter, safer option has largely been his preference against stronger opponents such as Brazil and Japan, although it hasn't been deployed in a long time. With the match having such low stakes, the choice will likely be to utilize a double-pivot in the midfield.
Projected El Salvador Starting XI
El Salvador has two veteran options at goalkeeper. The likely starter is number one and regular captain Henry Hernández. The 35-year-old has earned 39 caps and played every minute in the 2019 Gold Cup and Nations League. Backup Benjí Villalobos is highly experienced with 259 appearances in the Salvadoran domestic league and another 17 with the national team.
The team is perhaps strongest on the back line, with all six defenders having made several international appearances. Alianza left back Jonathan Jiménez is a favorite for de los Cobos, starting most of the matches after his hiring. The 28-year-old presses high up the field, often serving as a focal point for the attack. Bryan Tamacas, an aggressive pusher of the tempo, should start at right back. The center back pairing of Roberto Dominguez and Iván Mancia have formed a successful partnership, playing every minute together during the Gold Cup and Nations League. Neither is physically imposing nor should pose a serious threat on set pieces.
Expect a central midfield trio of Darwin Cerén, Narciso Orellana, and Andrés Flores. Cerén had a strong season for the Houston Dynamo and is one of the most experienced members of the squad with 60 caps. He regularly jumpstarts the attack or switches the field, especially after forcing a turnover. Orellana started every match in the recent Gold Cup and Nations League at defensive midfielder and is difficult to dispossess of the ball. Attacking midfielder Flores was recently released by the Portland Timbers. Utility man Marvin Monterroza may also feature in a defensive or attacking role.
Dynamic winger Denis Pineda of Ecuadorian club Técnico Universitario presents a threat. The 24-year-old drives deep into the final third with long dribbling runs before crossing but also has an off-ball tendency to drift into the box behind defenders. The other wide midfielder will be Juan Carlos Portillo, a more methodical player who prefers to hold play up and pick the right pass.
The options at striker are hardly prolific, with a combined two senior international goals between the three call-ups. The starter could be José David Díaz who manned the front line in January's friendly against Iceland. The Santa Tecla striker has spent his entire career in El Salvador and only recently made his national team debut in 2018. American-born Dustin Corea could also see time up top. The acrobatic striker-winger hybrid possesses a flair for the dramatic that manifests in long-range shots and the ability to create space on crosses and dead balls.
Los Cuzcatlecos' attacks tend to be built through the wings, with converted crosses providing the most success. El Salvador can be frivolous in possession, giving away the ball in the defensive half, which leads to dangerous goal scoring opportunities. Gregg Berhalter's high pressure should yield positive results.
While the American roster is inexperienced and missing the best available players competing in Europe, victory should still be expected. This is neither a full-strength Salvadoran squad nor a team that has proven capable of keeping pace in a high-scoring match, particularly without a prolific striker on the roster. The young, energetic U.S. side has the opportunity to dictate the tempo and take advantage of counter-attacks and dead bull opportunities.
The match is scheduled for Wednesday, December 9th at 7:30 p.m. Eastern, 4:30 Pacific. Viewing options include ESPNews, TUDN USA, UniMás, and Fubo TV (free trial).


ClqL4 and Stabilin-2, the two proteins essential to the development of skeletal muscle have been discovered by scientists. The findings of the study are published in Nature Communications. This research, led by Jean-François Côté, a professor at the Montreal Clinical Research Institute (IRCM) and the Faculty of Medicine at Université de Montréal, could lead to a better understanding of rare muscular diseases and the development of new treatments.
Skeletal muscles are attached to our bones and enable our bodies to move. Whether in a developing embryo or a professional athlete, the same sequence leads to their formation. "In vertebrates, cells derived from stem cells, called myoblasts, first align with each other and come so close as to eventually touch and compress their cell membranes," explained the study's lead author Jean-François Côté, Director of the IRCM's Cytoskeleton Organization and Cell Migration Research Unit.
Indeed, ClqL4 and Stabilin-2 ensure successful completion of this delicate sequence. They slow down and trigger cell fusion respectively at key moments. This is what happens in muscle diseases characterized by a weakness that makes certain movements difficult.
Disrupting the MYO18B gene in skeletal muscles which are used for powerful bursts of movement and muscle fibres cause myopathy.
UMN researchers have used 3D technology to identify optimal stem cells for transplantation. The new technique holds answers for muscular dystrophy patients.

Q: Overwrite a function in R. Avoiding infinite recursion I want to override some function in R, adding feature to them or modifying their behavior. For example I can't stand that for min, max, mean, sd and others the na.rm argument is false by default, or that if you run as.numeric on a factor it doesn't parse the level text but the level identifier.
So I want to rewrite it:
as.numeric <- function(x) {
    if(is.numeric(x)) return(x)
    if (is.factor(x)) x <- as.vector(x)

    as.numeric(x)
}

Unfortunately this trigger an infinite recursion (of course). How do I solve this problem?

A: If you're careful about isolating names (and unfortunately R doesn't encourage this), there's no reason against overriding existing names.
In your case, all you have to do is explicitly qualify the package name of the function you want to call, to disambiguate it:
as.numeric <- function(x) {
    if(is.numeric(x)) return(x)
    if (is.factor(x)) x <- as.vector(x)

    base::as.numeric(x)
}

That said, I'd use this judiciously.
If you find yourself shadowing existing function names a lot, you should think about isolating your names in their own namespace. You can use modules to do this properly.

2018 - A deeply concentrated and structured vintage, a long, warm summer allowed for full ripening and a long picking season. One proprietor called it a "lazy winemaker vintage" because the fruit was so clean and pristine when it arrived at the winery. There was a ton work to be done in the vineyard though. Some early season weather brought a lot of rain and even some localized hail. But the day after France won the World Cup, the clouds cleared for practically the rest of the year. Northern Medoc (St-Julien, St-Estephe) saw the most successful and consistent wines. They are wines that will demand time in the cellar, and at the their heights they can rival other great vintages like 2016 and 2010, although the aforementioned vintages might be slightly more consistent across the board.
2017 - This was a vintage in Bordeaux that contained some great wines, but was highly variable due to some early season hail and mid-season showers. Most of the northern Médoc escaped any hail issues and some gems can be found in St-Julien, Pauillac, and St-Estèphe. Although affected by hail, some of the greatest wines were those of St-Emilion. Prices also dropped from 2016 levels, meaning there are opportunities to be found. At the best, the wines are ripe, with the structure and mid palate of great vintages, but as a whole not up to the levels of the three vintages preceding it.
2001 - One of the best sleeper vintages of the last few decades, packed with great wines and great price points that are just starting to show beautifully. The wines are beautifully balanced and are drinking exceptionally at the moment. Look for values across the board.
2000 - Another modern classic; less fruity than 2005 and 2009, but not quite as powerful as 2010. The wines will need time in the cellar as they're still quite structured almost two decades later.
1999 - There are a number of good wines from 1999 (as in just about any vintage), but there is some greenness from a lack of ripeness in places. Choose carefully as there are some great values to be had.
1998 - Almost the opposite of the 2008 vintage in that it stayed warm right up until harvest, then rained right at the end. Yet, many of the wines are similar in quality to the 2008 vintage in that there are plenty of well-priced, classically-structured selections still available on the market. A very good vintage for the Right Bank, however. Definitely look in that direction.
1997 - We've found more sleepers from 1997 here at K&L than practically any other "off-vintage," so if you know where to look you can find some fantastic values. Over all the wines are lighter in style and don't pack as much heft.
1996 - A fantastic vintage that yielded a number of powerful and robust wines (with big scores). The wines are in a perfect drinking window at the moment, but can definitely live longer in the cellar.
1995 - Perhaps the best vintage of the decade with fruit-driven, forward, and utterly-drinkable wines that have the versatility of a vintage like 2009. A fantastic year to collect or to drink over the next decade.

Evolution of NACADA's Executive Office

Roberta "Bobbie" Flaherty, NACADA Executive Director Emeritus
It was late in the fall of 1978 when Frank, Billie, Toni, and Bobbie engaged in a telephone conversation about the management of the 1979 NACADA national conference. Toni Trombley had hosted a national conference on academic advising in Burlington, Vermont, in 1977, and Frank Dyer had hosted a second one in Memphis, Tennessee, in 1978. These conferences led to the grassroots movement to establish the National Academic Advising Association, which was being incorporated in Vermont; leaders were preparing to hold the first Association-sponsored conference. Roberta "Bobbie" Flaherty was Director of Conferences for Kansas State University (KSU) and was planning a bid to manage the conference for the Association in Omaha in October 1979. Billie Jacobini was to become the first Association secretary. That first meeting between Bobbie and the Association leaders eventually led to the KSU Conference Office managing all but one of the Association's national conferences from 1979 thru 1990. It also led to interest at KSU in housing the NACADA Executive Office in 1989.
In early 1988, the NACADA Board of Directors recognized the need to establish an Executive Office to handle the Association's ever growing membership and financial tasks. This set into motion a plan to fund an Executive Office and solicit bids for hosting it within a higher education institution. The Board issued a request for proposals and distributed it throughout the Association. Bids were received and among them was one from Kansas State University's College of Education, prepared by (then) Associate Dean Michael Holen and Bobbie Flaherty. Dean Holen made the generous offer to provide space, furniture, and salary assistance.
The NACADA Executive Office selection committee visited Dean Holen at KSU and determined that with Bobbie Flaherty serving as Executive Director, KSU would be the site of the NACADA Executive Office. The Executive Office was established in two offices in Bluemont Hall on the KSU campus on July 1, 1990, when NACADA membership stood at 2400. Bobbie Flaherty was Executive Director and Joan Kohake was Secretary. NACADA's Immediate Past President, Gary Kramer, was assigned to serve as liaison to the office and made it clear that the Executive Office's only tasks for the first year would be to coordinate membership records and renewals and assume responsibility for all financial transactions of the Association. Bobbie traveled to Muncie, Indiana, to learn about and transfer the membership records system and financial records from (then) Association Treasurer, Mike McCauley. Bank accounts were transferred to a Manhattan, Kansas bank as well.
While establishing procedures during the first year, Bobbie knew the financial advantage of managing the Annual Conference and began the planning needed for the Executive Office to assume its management. The Board approved hiring Nancy Barnes on a half-time appointment to coordinate the Conference. A student from KSU Hotel and Restaurant Management Program was an intern who assisted with the meeting planning details, and Dean Holen provided a graduate assistant to work in the Executive Office. As time went on additional responsibilities were transferred to the Executive Office, and NACADA membership continued to grow.
By 1995, membership had grown to 4400, and the Executive Office managed the Summer Institute, debuted the NACADA Web site, and coordinated production of the NACADA Journal. Diane Matteson was the first of several employees hired to assist with the expanding responsibilities of the Executive Office; responsibilities that allowed volunteers to focus on providing leadership rather than labor. As the Association grew, so did the need for coordination of services to members. Gradually the Executive Office expanded to include current employees: Rhonda Baker, Judy Weyrauch, Julia Wolf, Bev Martin, Charlie Nutt, Marsha Miller, Cara Wohler, Leigh Cunningham, Farrah Turner, Gary Cunningham, Maxine Coffey, Victor Holt, Michelle Holaday, Jennifer Rush, and a cadre of student assistants. A partnership with NCAA added Jenifer Scheibler.
In 2007, Bobbie Flaherty became Executive Director Emeritus and began a five-year phased retirement. Charlie Nutt took over the reins as Executive Director. In 2009, the Executive Office handles:
10,000+ memberships
a database supporting the management of the Association
administration of the Association's Web site and listservs
NACADA Journal coordination and printing of the semi-annual
development of the monthly "Highlights"
Academic Advising Today coordination and distribution of the Association e-zine,
annual Association elections
the Speakers and Consultants Service
support to the Board of Directors and Council
coordination of 23 Commissions and 18 Interest Groups
liaison to 10 Regions and regional conference assistance
development and delivery of Webcasts
coordination or publication of professional books, monographs, videos, CDs, DVDs, and pocket guides
marketing of Association products and services
NACADA Clearinghouse on Academic Advising Resources coordination, expansion, and updates to the
maintenance of the Association's archives
management of the Annual Conference for over 3,000 attendees
management of two Summer Institutes on Academic Advising, an Administrators' Institute, and an Assessment of Advising Institute, along with a winter Seminar
member inquiries for information
the Association annual budget of over $2 million.
Most importantly, the staff of Executive Office strives to provide the most efficient, effective, and friendly service to NACADA members!

The cast for the upcoming 8th season of 24 is growing ever so slowly, but surely.
Jennifer Westfeldt has been cast in the recurring role of an ambitious journalist named Meredith Reed.
This ambitious journalist has connections to a Middle East leader who is in the U.S. on a peacemaking mission, named Arman Hashemi. Hashemi will be played by Anil Kapoor (Slumdog Millionaire).
Chris Diamantopoulos (The Starter Wife) will be in the regular role of Rob Weiss, President Allison Taylor's new chief of staff.
The CTU will be getting new faces as well, and one of them will be John Boyd (The Notorious Bettie Page) as systems analyst Jonah Schwartz.
Other sources are adding that Freddie Prinze Jr is being cast as Davis Cole. Cole is fresh off active Marine duty and runs the CTU Field Ops and might be looking to fill Jack Bauer's shoes.
Season 8 of Fox's 24 will be coming at us Jan. 17, 2010, with a two-night, four-hour event.
Kiefer Sutherland's legal issues regarding the alleged headbutting of fashion designer Jack McCollough may be settling down.
Back on May 5th at a party, women's wear designer Jack McCollough, who is a friend of Brooke Shields's, interrupted her and Sutherland while they were chatting and this interruption resulted in an irate Sutherland allegedly headbutting McCollough after they exchanged words.
Nothing has been settled yet but Keifer Sutherland has issued a public apology to McCollough and McCollough has issued a statement saying he appreciated Keifer's public statement.
If everything works out between the party buddies, it will clear the way for the assault charges against Keifer Sutherland to be dropped.
Right now Keifer is under a 5-year probation for a DUI (His 2nd) and this legal issue in New York may still be a snag on his probation terms from California.
California officials are making stink and asking for reports on the party nose-breaking moment.

The Man From U.N.C.L.E. Arrives On DVD And Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack From Warner Bros. Home Entertainment On Nov. 17
Warner Bros. Home Entertainment has selected Nov. 17 as the street date for director Guy Ritchie's reimaging of the popular Cold War television series, The Man from U.N.C.L.E.
Henry Cavill (Man of Steel, The Tudors, etc.) is teamed with Armie Hammer (Mirror Mirror) as iconic spies Napoleon Solo and Illya Kuryakin.
Available for consumers to select from will be DVD and Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack editions.
The television series, made famous by Robert Vaughn and David McCallum —US and Soviet spies teamed to battle T.H.R.U.S.H. — was clearly a product of the Cold War (on television from 1964 through early 1968 — a total of 105 episodes). But the series was also well-timed in that the James Bond/007 series of films (Dr. No in 1962; From Russian with Love the following year; Goldfinger arrived in 1964; and, Thunderball followed in 1965) had caught fire theatrically (Ian Fleming was involved in both). The demand was there!
Just as The Man from U.N.C.L.E. reached its zenith along came Mission: Impossible and that was it for Robert Vaughn and David McCallum. M:I was a better action series and didn't carry the baggage of the "U.N." The organization that Solo and Kuryakin worked for didn't actually have anything to do with the United Nations, but perception is reality.
Tom Cruise has made — through a series of very smart moves — the theatrical releases of Mission: Impossible a monster film franchise. Sadly, lightning did strike twice with this re-boot.
The Man from U.N.C.L.E. only pulled in $45.4 million in domestic ticket sales, so this potential film franchise is probably DOA. For the record, the ARR is 95 days.
As to bonus goodies, common to both the DVD and Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack SKUs is the featurette titled "A Higher Class of Hero."
Exclusive to the Blu-ray edition are five additional featurettes.

Midnight Releasing Readies Writer/Director Ace Jorday's Silent Retreat For DVD On Jan. 12
Midnight Releasing announced its first film selection for release on DVD during 2016 this past week. Debuting on Jan. 12 will be writer/director Ace Jordan's backwoods chiller, Silent Retreat.
You likely know all about those "bonding" experiences, the ones where some group of co-workers goes off on a weekend retreat to work on their team-building skills.
It usually works out to be an exercise in all of that touchy-feely nonsense that rarely achieves much of anything. But people do have a good time, except when there's a cabin in woods and one, by one, by one … they die!
Filmmaker Ace Jordan uses the standard clichés of a "victim pool" (the half-dozen company members) and the obligatory remote cabin in the woods (film nicely in and around Big Bear Lake in California) to set up his film, but cleverly uses misdirection to keep us off-balance.
All the elements are lined up for your standard horror "slasher" flick, but he keeps throwing curve balls and change ups … and that makes Silent Retreat one sweet ride.
Bonus nuggets include commentary from filmmaker Ace Jordan, newly prepared video sessions with the cast and crew and a slideshow gallery.

Icarus Films To Release Documentary Filmmaker Alicia Dwyer's Xmas Without Christmas On DVD On Dec. 8
Here's a challenge for you. Before the Christmas holiday season gets into full swing and parking is at a premium, go out shopping with a "possible list" of things that you might buy as gifts this year and see if you can fill that list without buying items made in China.
That's premise behind documentary filmmaker Alicia Dwyer's Xmas Without China, which is on its way to DVD from Icarus Films on Dec. 8 (just in time for Christmas).
Tom Xia was born China, but immigrated to the United States with his family. He still has the cultural ties, but has integrated fairly well into the Southern California lifestyle. His gives his neighbors (filmed in and around Arcadia) a challenge, to shop for Christmas without buying products "Made in China." His neighbors, Evelyn and Tim, accept the challenge … and away we go.
But it goes beyond that, the couple remove all of their "Made in China" purchases (accumulated over the years) and start afresh to complete the task. As with most "journeys," it is the getting there and not the final destination that proves to be the most interesting.

Universal Studios Home Entertainment Selects Dec. 15 For DVD And Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack Editions Of Seth MacFarlane's Ted 2
It was a dance of PR perfection. You have to marvel how Universal Pictures Home Entertainment expertly crafted a three-week series of summer theatrical releases announcements that were destined for the home entertainment market place.
Two weeks ago we commented on the surprise announcement of DVD and Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack editions of writer/director Joel Edgerton's The Gift on Oct. 27: "The ARR is a surprisingly quick 81 days, which suggests that Universal, with its very successful summer theatrical slate, is moving The Gift to market to clear the decks for the likes of Minions, Straight Outta Compton and Ted 2."
Sure enough, last week the directing team of Kyle Balda and Pierre Coffin's Minions received a three-SKU (DVD and two Blu-ray/DVD Combo Packs — one with, one without a 3D viewing option) launch date of Dec. 8.
The trifecta was completed this week with the announcement of DVD and Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack editions of Seth MacFarlane's Ted 2, which has been given a Dec. 15 release date.
This suggests that Universal will be holding onto director F. Gary Gray's Straight Outta Compton until Q1 of 2016.
Ted 2, teaming Mark Wahlberg once again with his wise-cracking stuffed bear, Ted (voiced by MacFarlane), arrives with a leisurely ARR of 172 days. With a gap that long between a major studio theatrical release date and its subsequent move to home entertainment, it would appear that Universal (and this is just speculation) decided early on to position this laugh-out-loud comedy for release during the lucrative Christmas holiday promotional period.
Ticket sales came in at $81.3 million — the original Ted (released during Christmas of 2011) pulled in $218.6 million, so this has to be something of a disappointment. Still over $80 million is nothing to sneeze at.
As to bonus features, the Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack SKU contains an "unrated" viewing option — Universal is calling this cut "too rude for the cinema," which likely means that it includes trims that might have earned the film a no-no NC-17 rating. Seth MacFarlane provides commentary, and he joined by co-writers Alec Sulkin and Wellesley Wild, plus Jessica Barth (who reprises her role as Tami-Lynn, Ted's girlfriend and now wife), plus there are deleted scenes, a gag-reel and the featurette titled "Cameo Buddies."
Exclusive to the Blu-ray SKU are three additional featurettes — "Thunder Buddies 4 Lyfe," "Roadtripping" and "Creating Comic-Con."

Ho-Hum PR Effort From Walt Disney's Studios Home Entertainment For Director Peyton Reed's Ant-Man As It Heads To The Home Entertainment Market Place On Dec. 8
Walt Disney Home Entertainment continues its endemic struggles with the promotion of the studio's new theatrical releases making the transition from their theatrical runs to the home entertainment market place.
You would think, after shelling out $4 billion for Marvel Studios at the end of 2009, that there would be a chiseled-in-granite directive to the home entertainment PR slackers: "If it is a Marvel Studios production, make it special."
The latest ho-hum stab at what passes for publicity and promotion at Disney these days came this past week with the "and, oh, by the way, Ant-Man will be available on Dec. 8" announcement.
When a film pulls in $178.6 million in ticket sales in the domestic market — and over $400 million worldwide — that's blockbuster status. That deserves more than a "by the way" effort.
For the record, the ARR for this December release date works out to 144 days.
There is a certain irony in selecting prime Christmas holiday-selling season chunk of real estate as the street date for Ant-Man. It is also the same day that Universal Studios Home Entertainment has tabbed for the arrival of Minions … and they've been out hustling that film franchise for several weeks now. Lessons could be learned!
Planned are three SKUs. There will be a stand-alone DVD edition and two Blu-ray selections — one with and one without a 3D viewing option (the premium is seven bucks).
As to bonus features, there is a deleted scene common to all three SKUs. Exclusive to the Blu-ray buying options are commentary from director Peyton Reed (The Break-Up, Bring it On, Yes Man, etc.), who is joined the film's star, Paul Rudd, a gag reel and three production featurettes — "Making of an Ant-Sized Heist," "Let's Go to the Macroverse" and "WHIH NewsFront."

The Criterion Collection Announces Its January 2016 Release Calendar
The Criterion Collection announced its New Year's slate of new Blu-ray and DVD film restorations for delivery during January of 2016 this past week.
Topping the list — and that isalways a subjective statement when it comes to Criterion's monthly new announcements — is German New Wave auteur Wim Wenders' 1977 film gem, The American Friend, starring the late Dennis Hopper as the go-to guy when murder is afoot.
The street date for Blu-ray and DVD editions will be Jan. 12.
You know The American Friend was special — even though Wim Wenders was pretty much an unknown — when the likes of auteurists such as Samuel Fuller and Nicholas Ray join in on the fun with cameo appearances.
This new 4K restoration was supervised by Wim Wenders (Oscar-nominated for The Salt of the Earth, Pina and Buena Vista Social Club … all in the Best Documentary category) and features as its bonus goodies a vintage commentary track with Wenders and Dennis Hopper (circa 2002), newly prepared video sessions with Wenders and Hopper's co-star, Bruno Ganz and deleted scenes (with commentary by Wenders).
Also streeting on Jan. 12 is the Blu-ray restoration of Italian director Giuseppe De Santis' 1949 Oscar-nominated Best Writing film release of Bitter Rice, starring Doris Dowling, Silvana Mangano, Raf Vallone and the doomed hustler, Walter, played to perfection by Vittorio Gassman.
Bonus nuggets includes director Carlo Lizzani's 2008 feature-length documentary titled Giuseppe de Santis and 2003 video session with filmmaker Giuseppe De Santis.
Jan. 19 brings to market DVD and Blu-ray editions of both the Coen Brothers' Inside Llewyn Davis and director Charles Vidor's 1946 film noir treat, Gilda, starring Rita Hayworth in the title role, with George Macready and Glenn Ford as the men in her life. Murder, betrayal and double-dealings with Nazis (it is post-war Argentina after all) on the run are all apart of this South American tale of lust and violence.
Lastly, Jan. 5 will be the street date for The Complete Lady Snowblood, a two film collection featuring Japanese filmmaker Toshiya Fujita's Lady Snowblood and the sequel, Lady Snowblood: Love Song of Vengeance, starring Meiko Kaji as the child raised for one purpose … revenge!

Linden is the worst mage apprentice at her school. Her latest disaster: accidentally destroying her classroom when a small hooded fay pops up inside the fireball she's just conjured.
Linden is sent to the headmaster's office to be formally expelled, when she is saved by the bell—quite literally. Someone is frantically ringing the bell inside the watchtower overlooking the western frontier. Raiders are coming, in broad daylight, wearing the uniforms of the enemy army.

With an agoraphobic mother and a barely-there father, Sang abhors the isolation keeping her in the shadows.

Grateful for an influence outside of her parents' negativity, she quickly bonds with the boys, hoping to blend in and learn from them what it means to have a natural relationship with friends. Only the boys have secrets of their own and they'll do anything to keep her safe from the knowledge of the mysterious Academy that they've sworn allegiance to. Bit by bit, Sang discovers that her friends are far from the normalcy she expected. Will her loyalty change when she's forced to remain in the dark, or will she accept that she's traded one house of secrets for another? Meet Kota, Victor, Silas, Nathan, Gabriel, Luke and North in a story about differences and loyalty, truth and mystery, friendships and heart-throbbing intimacy. The Academy, ever vigilant.

As if I could not do something mini in the garden, right? Oh Ebay, you tempted me and I caved. Miss Kitty has become an avid gardener. Thank you Peppa Pig and your gardening with Grandpa Pig episode (that we have watched a million times). She has her shovels, her garden tools carrying bag and her Hello Kitty watering can. So, I thought, why not indulge both of us and have some fun!
The pink tree, hut, stairs, fence, little girl, squirrel, and dog set all were on Ebay, usually 99 cents an item, so I didn't mind. The main stone path came from Sheridan Nurseries (never a hardship to go look at the flowers too). The pot is a few years old and the stones came straight from the shores of Lake Ontario earlier today.
Fortunately the pot has a metal trellis-like cover which prevents little fingers from removing all the little parts, especially the squirrel, the little girl and the dog.
Now, I just need to figure out where this will go outside and not get flooded when it rains!
And my flower kits from The Miniature Garden arrived today!! I've never made flowers before so I decided to buy these amazing kits and the supplies (tweezers, dirt and wire). Not a "right now" project but I will be itching to start them as soon as I start planting in May. It was over 20 degrees here today, no coat and I was sweating. Yeah! for spring.
Bed building phobia squashed (woo hoo). Miss Kitty's self potty training underway (check). Garden raked, lawn fertilized and front garden dug up (check), back garden soil 50% turned (check). Ok, now back to mini making and blogging!
As you may recall I purchased the Ikea "Sy" sewing machine. I still love it. I think I have jammed that sucker up and done everything possible to it as I've taught myself to sew. All I can say is thank you Ikea and your YouTube tutorials. Without them, it would have been tears and a return to iron on hemming.
Off to Fabricland I went! Oh, fabric scraps, how you tempt me. My fabric box is officially too small, but I now have lots of great fabrics to work with and most scraps cost me less then $2.
The bedding consists of 2 items, a used pillow case and some short pile charcoal velvet. Velvet tip: since you likely need to iron it, make sure you put a towel between the iron and the velvet. NEVER iron direct on velvet or say bye-bye to its pretty appearance.
Remember, I am a previous non-sewer. I'm sure this is technically atrocious for those of you good at sewing. But, if you're like me, you can do it!!! I had no flippin' clue what I was doing but it worked out. Only took me 3 hours to do it all, but I got there!
Nothing beats learning to sew with your iPad.
This is my pillow case. Very soft, 600 thread count, and washed a million times. The fitted sheet looked sad, but the pillow cases were just to perfect for this to pass them up.
I used the pillow case for the "fitted" sheet, the top sheet and the pillow cases.
2 1/4 x 1 3/4 inches were the dimensions of the the pillows (unstuffed, just stitched). You loose a bit when you stuff them, so regardless of the dimensions you use for your bed, make it a little larger to accommodate for stuffing size loss.
Cut your pieces of fabric a good 1/4 to 1/2 inch larger then were you plan to stitch. You can always trim excess fabric away, and its easier to handle a larger rectangle.
Fold over 1 edge and make a simple straight stitch. This is for the open end of you pillow. Do this to both pieces of your pillow.
Place your to pieces together. Ensure the raw edges of your open endd are facing out on both sides of your pillow. I used a ruler and a pencil to lightly mark my stitch lines.
Sew 3 straight stitches to make your pillow. Remember, only 3! That one side is open so you can stuff your pillow case.
Snip the 2 corners off so you can get sharp points when you flip the pillow inside out. Trim any extra fabric away, but not too close to your stitches.
You can either make a proper pillow to stuff in your pillow case, or just jam some cotton filler in for the time being. I didn't have the time to make the extra pillow inserts!
I then used little velcro tabs glued to the pillow and the mattress to ensure the pillows would stay in place when Miss Kitty played, but could also be removed and changed if needed.
Cover your mattress with the pillow case material. I used Aleene's Fabric Fusion glue to adhere it to the foam core and the fabric to the fabric once I added the top sheet.
Don't reinvent the wheel. When your pillow case gives you some nice banding with a rolled edge, take it and run with it! That banding became the finished edge to the top sheet as it was folded over the comforter. Voila, one less thing to sew.
I decided I didn't care to ever see the top sheet separate from the comforter, so I made them one piece. The top sheet is just a "faux top sheet." Sort of like those sweaters with the white collar sewn into them so it looks like you layered, but really didn't.
Sew the top sheet piece to your comforter (see picture) using a straight stitch.
When you fold over the top sheet piece, it hides your stitch.
I used a straight stitch on the ends to ensure the top sheet would never flip back over, but if its tucked under, you can omit this step. Purely optional.
Flip the comforter over and trim off any extra top sheet material that isn't needed.
I then wrapped my comforter/top sheet combo around the mattress and glued it down using Aleene's Fabric Fusion. I suggest placing a piece of plastic on the glued down side then putting a heavy book on it to weight it down. It takes a while to get the glue to set.
Then, I applied (and glued) a strip of velcro to the mattress and the bed to ensure it was secure but still removable.
No Sewing Machine? It's OK!
I wish I could say that you could do all this with iron on hemming, but you can't. The bedding could be done, but the pillows would kill you. Burnt finger tips and you wouldn't get the crisp lines and neat corners, so your best be would be to hand stitch.
As soon as I was done I wanted to make a million pillows, but it was almost midnight and I stopped myself. By the next morning, as the coffee was hitting my veins and Sesame Street was on in the background, the pillow urge had most definitely passed. Phew!
I decided to make a few changes to the blog. I really, really dislike how complicated Blogger is to work with and change formatting without advanced HTML work. I might dare to say that my husband was right when he suggested WordPress instead of Blogger, but oh no I said, and now I suffer! Grrrr.
I might invest in a purchased template in the future, but this works for now! Please leave a link to your template provider if you purchased one, I'd love recommendations.
I really wanted something not as horrible as my old header. Trying to find the correct free online software was a pain, not to mention figuring it out, editing the pictures, and then reinserting the edited pictures back into the header design.
I used Picmonkey.com. You don't have to sign in and all the features you could really need are free. You can save direct to your computer too.
You can insert your pre made header image in your header gadget, just click "instead of header and description."
Into your gadget title. As you might have discovered, you can't not have a title or the red error message pops up. This "title" tricks it and its gone. But you might have to re-enter it every time you mess with that widget.
They were free from Brandi Hussey. They come in a few colours and you can download them as a .zip file. Inserting them is much easier then the 45mins it took Googling how to do it!
The Mini Me is actually the "You and Me Happy Together Family Dolls - Ethnic Family" from Toys R Us. 1:12 scale and the legs and hips are articulated!!!
I had to buy the "ethnic" family to get brown hair, as the caucasian family was blonde. I am not sure how this family is "ethnic," but I suspect they are hinting at a Latin background? very weird. At $16 this was an awesome buy to help me ensure my furniture was scaled correctly and I was tired of looking at my wood artist models.
I did a photo shoot with Mini Me and Mini Miss Kitty. Photos aren't on this computer, so I will post them in the future.
Mama's Got A Brand New Bed!
I had a bed phobia. For some reason I had a mental block about being able to conceptualize building a bed and then a fear of where to start. It hit "do or die" time when I actually needed the bed to fill in the bedroom. Who knew a bedroom would require a bed?
I had a look in mind so I went to a few websites and finally found measurements that seemed appropriate. Then, I measured it out to make sure the real life proportions were good too.
My old friend Ikea was my go to for the mattress dimensions. I didn't do anything fancy for this bed, as the linens are stuck in place due to the toddler factor.
I used 2 pieces of foam board, glued together, then wrapped in cotton batten.
This is a platform bed, but I decided since Miss Kitty was playing with it, it needed to withstand dolls "jumping" on the bed and general wear and tear. So, no slats under the mattress!
I used 2 pieces of 1/8" wood to form the mattress base of the bed. I made sure to make it large enough to accommodate the detail at the edges I planned and space for the linens to tuck into.
I used a 3/4" square wood trim piece as the base for the platform to sit. I miter cut the corners.
The base is wider then the platform because the platform will also act as the recessed detail on the bed frame.
I then used another square 1cm wood trim piece to sit on top of the platform. Take a look at the pictures with the arrows!!!
The platform is sandwiched between the 2 trim pieces.
The top trim piece now act to hid the base of the mattress (and linen edges) and keeps the mattress from shifting.
More views of the 3 piece wood sandwich!
I then glued on a balsa sheet for the headboard and made little end tables attached to the headboard.
The mattress now is snug as a bug between the upper lip of trim. No worrying if you can see the bottom of the linens or anything else you're trying to hide!
Bed making phobia is GONE!
Next up is the linens......sewing machine time!!!!
As a side note, I am slow with blogging lately! Miss Kitty isn't even 2 and she's decided to start potty training. Then, I started a side project (with a mini component) that I will blog about, but its been a bit more consuming then I had intended. When aren't minis more time consuming then intended, right? And its GARDENING SEASON!!!!!! This is very exciting for me. But it has taken up some of my evenings (post Miss Kitty's bedtime) along with going to the gym more often. But you need to be healthy and alive to blog, so it all must be done. Therefore, I am blogging at a slower pace because I'm not making things as fast.
This dollhouse was supposed to finished by now. Oh well!
After the dresser and desk combo went in, I was worried (needlessly) that the room might look too traditional. Art, I thought, would breath some modern "umph" into it!
I took to the pages of Style At Home and House and Home. The one picture is of a poster and the square art is actually a photo of a rug.
I cannot say enough about using magazines when you at a loss for artistic inspiration. The printing holds up (you can spray them to preserve then further too) and if you horde a few months for of issues before you sit down and chop them up, then you likely have enough content that something will work.
I cut my pictures to the same size. Then used regular white card stock and made mats for them the hardest part is cutting out the center rectangle and hoping that everything is straight and square (even when you use a craft knife and t-square).
I then glued the mat to the picture and pressed it between 2 books over night.
The frame is thin matchstick-like wood I got in a craft wood/popsicle stick box from the dollar store.
The "glass" is just a bit of rigid plastic I saved from packing materials. Just have a look in your recycling bin!
And I took the pictures in my new light box! Much happier with the results and much less swearing occurred.
I stared at it. It stared at me.
Everyone's kind comments were very appreciated. The rug idea played over and over. But then I realized Miss Kitty would take the rug out. Maybe use the rug to make a diaper for Elmo. This would not be a long term solution.
I cracked out the saw and the Dremel. Done!
Lesson: make sure your wood grain is running in the same direction.
Why did you put the stairs in the middle of the floor? And why did you make such a HUGE hole on top of it?
The giant stair opening never seemed an issue until I decided to make this a real dollhouse. When you have a giant opening for stairs in the bedroom and attic, where do you put the bed? This is what happens when you make a kiddie dollhouse a "real" dollhouse.
The 2 stair openings were in the master bedroom and the attic. They were large because it allowed you to reposition the stairs to where you wanted them. Simple solid stairs that I had stained the treads and painted the risers white.
I really try for realism, so not having stairs bugged me (still does). But I really didn't want to cut a new hole on top of everything else I was doing. So, I plugged those holes and secretly know the resident teleport between floors. Okay? Don't ask questions.
Cut a larger (by at least one inch all around) piece of wood to act as a new ceiling piece and something for your floor piece to attach to.
Paint the ceiling piece to match your current paint colour.
Use green painters tape to keep it in place and prevent buckling. Let dry overnight!
I didn't use heavy books on top because I didn't want to put too much pressure on it and cause the ceiling panel to push away from the actual ceiling.
As I was wrapping things up, I thought, what was the most important thing about this project to stress to my readers?
Yup. Well, I took the finished attic floor piece and popped it in and SURPRISE I didn't have the grain going in the same direction. It was horribly obvious and could not be saved. Total redo of that floor piece. You think I might have noticed it when I was sanding and fitting the piece? Ha.
I even took a picture of it before I noted the error. The piece of the right is the incorrect grain. Didn't even notice it then!

The crew of an interstellar cargo ship are on their way back to Earth when the onboard computer prematurely awakens them from hibernation. The passengers discover that the ship has intercepted a distant signal. After landing on a barren planet they find a wrecked spaceship, and on it a hatchery filled with strange eggs. The immortal sci-fi saga begins.
Even forty years after its release, this brilliant collaboration between screenwriter Dan O'Bannon, biomechanical surrealist H. R. Giger and visionary director Ridley Scott remains just as stunning as in 1979, when it redefined the science-fiction genre. The creature, who arrives out of the depths of space, is no civilized extraterrestrial seeking to make contact with the human race; it is the embodiment of pure evil, as intelligent as it is remorseless. This visually captivating film works with our primal fear of the unknown and unseen amid the claustrophobic corridors of the spaceship Nostromo, where the mismatched crew must engage in an unequal struggle for survival – a struggle nobody will ever know about. Because in space, no one can hear you scream.

The Open Air Museum has a large site, which includes examples of many periods of Icelandic architectural history.
At the lower end of the site is a traditional turf farmhouse, including a baðstofa (communal room where the household slept, ate and worked), kitchen with open hearth, pantry, parlour, store room and cattleshed. Adjacent to the turf farmhouse is a hydro-electric plant, a reminder of the inventive pioneers who first harnessed water power to generate electricity.
The upper part of the site includes a schoolhouse typical of Icelandic country schools in the early 20th century, a church, and a baðstofa built over a cattleshed to benefit from the warmth of the animals, along with a storehouse. At the highest point on the site is a wooden house built at Holt, Síða, in 1898.
To the east of the hydro plant is one of the spans of a bridge built in 1921 across the glacial river Jökulsá, Sólheimasandur.

Use the mouse to place down blocks. The blocks on the right show you what's coming next. Over time, poetry appears and the rules of the game change. By placing down blocks in certain patterns, you try to make the ones shown on the left. Complete all 6 to find the good ending.
EXTREMELY creative game with just enough curveballs in the mechanics to keep me engaged. Well done.
Good game, did not get the point of it though, but I got that it was about a love story.
Gorgeous, fun game. Great job!
Very creative, more contrasted hues could make the game easier.
Nice idea. Kind of challenging to keep track of the 6 patterns (especially when second world appears), but still, neat game.
This is Creative and interesting ! GREAT WORK !
Took me two attempts to beat, has a good difficulty for an LD-game.
To improve replayability you could make the patterns on the left randomized.
Very interesting game. It was very confusing at first but I managed to get all 6 patterns. Awesome concept.
Good puzzle game with a nice aesthetic and surrounding biz. Cool.
Took me quite a while but I finished it successfully eventually.
Really relaxing game, even though I am horrible at it. Didn't get the point either. I love the color scheme and music, but I think using premade music is against the 48h compo rules :/.
Great game, my only complaint is the low variation in the blue tones.
Lines of poetry as levels - that's a very interesting idea. I found it hard to see the specific colours, and I had to move very slowly and carefully to understand whether I could match anything.
Good, engaging game – I played until the end (although I didn't *quite* make it to the happy ending).
Very nice look, and nice concept, but really hard to get my head around this puzzle. I didn't manage to get the good ending. I got too frustrated with the mechanics as they were new to me.
Hi there. Interesting puzzle, liked the peaceful sea sounds. Found the puzzle itself very much like office work. I couldn't remember the all targets so referring back and forth the whole time, which broke my engagement with it.
