Pam Barrett was born in Brandon, Manitoba on November 26, 1953, and moved to Edmonton with her family in 1961. She attended Archbishop O'Leary High School and then the University of Alberta, receiving a Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science and Economics in 1979. Two years later, she received a Master's degree in Philosophy from Glasgow University in Scotland. Barrett went on to work for Alberta Government Telephones, Edmonton Telephones, as a contract researcher for organizations such as CBC radio, the Edmonton Criminal Trial Lawyers' Association, and the New Democratic Party where she was senior researcher prior to her election to the Legislative Assembly.
Pam Barrett was involved with many community organizations such as the Edmonton Tenants' Association, the Edmonton Voters' Association, the East Edmonton Business Association, the Canadian Cancer Society and P.A.C.E. (Project Alternative Childcare – Edmonton). She was the founding member of Solidarity Alberta, a coalition of community, church, and labour groups formed in 1984 to address social and economic concerns in Alberta.
Pam Barrett spent 10 years in the Alberta legislature as a New Democratic Party MLA. Barrett was in the legislature representing Edmonton Highlands from 1986 to 1993, and 1997 to 2000, acting as party leader during the latter years. She was responsible for the Social Policy, Multiculturalism, Aboriginal rights, Economic Development and Labour Policy Committees at various times throughout her years with the party, and she gained a reputation as a tough, fiery, politician, earning the nickname "Mighty Mouse."
After leaving politics, Barrett worked as an afternoon radio show host for CJCA until the end of 1993. Later she hosted a daily public affairs talk show on CFRN TV and taught political science at Grant MacEwan Community College. Barrett passed away in Edmonton in January 2008.
The fonds consists of the Highlands (Edmonton) constituency files, legislative issues files, Culture critic and Health critic files, committees files, and New Democratic Party and Caucus records. These records offer a comprehensive account of an MLA's duties, documenting Barrett's career as a MLA for the New Democratic party, as the first woman in Alberta to serve as House Leader in 1986, and as an active participant in community affairs.
Pam Barrett donated the records to the Provincial Archives of Alberta in 1994.
Some records are restricted. The records are open, but as per the donor's request on May 3, 1996, names from the following files may not be published until January 2050: 1 – 785, 787 – 791, 802, 860, 925, 974 – 981, 1013 – 1014, 1034 – 1036.
Permission for use required. Subject to the Copyright Act.
An inventory is available.
Information found in the biographical sketch was taken from Barrett's curriculum vitae, submitted at the time of donation, as well as from the records, and from an article published by the Edmonton Journal on January 23, 2008, pages A1 and A3.

The Merlin Conspiracy
Trick or Treason

Not unlike Britain in King Arthur's Day, Roddy is daughter of two Court Wizards and therefore part of the King's Progress, travelling round the Islands of Blest and ready to take part in whatever ritual or ceremony is required, as it occurs.

Extraordinary book, belittling narration
By Isolde on 18-07-18
The brand new and final novel from the magical pen of 'the Godmother of Fantasy', Diana Wynne Jones; co-authored with her sister Ursula Jones.
How are you supposed to turn into a Wise Woman if your powers just won't show up? Aileen is convinced she'll never become as magical as her Aunt Beck. Then one day her aunt is set a seemingly impossible mission. She must go to the island of Logra and rescue the kidnapped High Prince from the enemy, and Aileen must go with her.
They set off along with Ivar, Aileen's spoilt cousin, and Ogo his clophopping servant, recruiting on their way a huge and elusive cat, a monk with an uncannily wise parrot, and a boy inventor who keeps a pet lizard up his sleeve. But this is no band of mighty warriors, and the evil Lograns and their wizards have blocked their way with an invisible barrier in the sea. Aileen doubts that even with all the magic in the Islands of Chaldea, including Aunt Beck's, they will be able to penetrate it.
But Aileen is about to discover that she could be more important to the mission than she realises. Perhaps it is her, above all, who is being drawn to Logra, and for a very special purpose…

What listeners say about The Islands of Chaldea
Richard O'Hagan
A fitting completion to this body of work
A fitting and, in its manner of writing and choice of narration, moving completion to Diana's work... Thank you to her sister for bringing it to us, Diana's public.
Excellent story beautifully told
I've always loved the books of Diana Wynne Jones. She is a born storyteller with each book exploring more possibilities of other worlds, of magic and adventure. Her sister has done a beautiful job of reading this story for us, full of characterisations that bring the characters to life. Highly recommended.
Barbara the healer
I loved 'The Islands of Chaldea'
What a great story, wonderful narration by Ursula Jones, by the much missed Diana Wynne Jones. Thank you, Audible and the publisher for bringing it to the world.
Fabulous - don't miss this!
This is, I think, the last book DWJ wrote, and it's wonderful. I've loved her books since I was a kid, and I don't seem to have grown out of them yet... it's beautifully read by her sister, and there's not a bad moment in it! Get it, enjoy it!

Any more sets of this beauty in the pipeline?
I'm surprised nobody has commented on the amazing Aurmi so far. Not only does she have a heavenly face and body, but she also poses really well! When are we going to have more of her, I can't and will never get enough of this angel!
Welcome to RA, thank you for your 1st comment!
You will be happier tomorrow, because you'll see her new set.


HG there are certainly some you never contact again right ?
Only those who are beyond the capacity to be contacted.
I think my latest narc isn't contacting me again, because I am too far away to be of use to him. Can that be?
HG, what happens with your kind who do not have a malign nature? Do they feel the same as you do? Never let go? What if they always have an IPPS and can obtain sufficient fuel?
It is an unconscious form of ownership.
Not at all. I cause insanity.
It's like that old movie Pacific Heights .
Narcs lock down inside your head & heart..steal,destroy,distort,devalue, drain,lie,cheat, trash, smear..and by the time you get back inside …they have robbed you of just about everything.
This may solve the concern of never getting involved with another narcissist. On first date, I can say: "I have one narcissist who thinks we are connected until death; another possible narcissist who thinks death is too easy and has already called for eternity. Unless you are into sharing, I apparently already owe two a debt I can't repay." Now if only I can figure out how to say that without scaring off a non-narcissist.
This is why narcissists so often don't seek therapy. They think they're smarter than any therapist and they don't believe there's anything wrong with them. Not much there for a therapist to work with, aside from increasing their own knowledge of NPD.
Your therapist is not trying to outsmart you. HG.
Is there any way of paying the debt …or could we become that abhorrent to you that you would run as fast as you can … I suppose Im hoping here!!
But HG, IF a perfect No Contact is followed, is it ever really over? From what you say, you never let go but will other schools of your kind give up and just find fuel elsewhere? Because truly the game only ends when both sides leave the field of play.
Not from our perspective for reasons already explained, but if we cannot hoover you then the dynamic remains suspended and then end when either party eventually dies.
If he would just let me die….I would begin to feel alive again.
I agree, completely. But for me, as a HPD with secondary NPD traits, the dynamic stops when I completely lose interest in the guy. It happens and when it happens, I don't even remember them, like they have never existed, I feel nothing about them, pooof, they're gone. Does it happen to you?
That's what will occur when hoovering is unsuccessful due to all criteria being met except 6th sphere… But still in general permanent suspension.
Feels very much like the end.
It is not a bad result.
… 'ff it walks like a duck'. yada yada yada.
Once again I'm trying to apply this to my own situation with an unaware narc. Which, unapologetically, is after all why I'm here.
So to me what this means is that other than those of his past relationships who've figured him out and have him in NC, he is still in touch with everyone he's ever had a relationship with? His whole life? Can this possibly be true?
Not all of the time, but subject to the hoover trigger and the hoover execution criteria.
True. Thanks for the laugh.
so if we are ipss we are still owned ?
But you do know why, you couldn't have been puzzled. You're here helping us, indeed encouraging us, to do exactly that. To go NC. Why would that not apply to those in your own life?

6 Music Stars Betting Big on Tech
By Kim Lachance Shandrow February 18, 2015
A-list actors like Ashton Kutcher and Leonardo DiCaprio aren't the only stars cashing in on tech these days. Famous rockers, rappers and pop crooners are in on the exploding celeb startup trend, too.
Katy Perry via Facebook
Here are 6 celebrity musicians singing the praises of tech -- and putting their money where their mouths are:
1. Katy Perry
Katy Perry just scored her own mobile game and she likes it. The fruity pop songstress apparently wasn't too busy roaring between dancers dressed as giant fake sharks to ink a promising mobile gaming app deal with Glu Mobile, makers of Kim Kardashian's smash-hit mobile game. The game will showcase, you guessed it, Perry's likeness, personality and voice. Glu Mobile's stock blew up like a firework on the news of the deal...because of course it did.

2. Will.i.am
When it comes to high-tech gadgets, will.i.am, né William Adams, just can't get enough. The Black Eyed Peas frontman-turned-tech entrepreneur recently released his own smartwatch. Called Puls, the fancy wrist cufflet makes calls, stores and plays music, and sends and receives texts and emails. The founding Beats Electronics investor, 3D Systems chief creative officer and Intel director of creative innovation also has an eco-friendly 3-D printer in the works. We hope it doesn't boom boom flop like will.i.am's i.am+ foto.sosho, a flashy $415 plastic iPhone case/keyboard/camera that hangs around your neck. It's even weirder than the Grammy-winner's Lexus "camera car."
Related: Will.i.am Wants You to Buy This Eco-Friendly 3-D Printer
3. Lady Gaga
Stefani Germanotta, who you know as the fabulous Lady Gaga, is betting big on Backplane, a niche social network startup geared toward celebrities. Backplane's inaugural online community was born in 2011 out of LittleMonsters.com, a popular fan site for Gaga's devotees, also know as, you got it, "little monsters." With her $1 million initial stake in Backplane, Lady Gaga joined the likes Silicon Valley heavies Google Ventures, Menlo Ventures and Eric Schmidt in funding the startup. The 20-percent shareholder is also an active advisor. Lady Gaga has also thrown her weight behind (and into) a high-tech Voltanis flying dress. Yes, a dress that actually lifts off and flies via six propelled booms. (Hey, it's a step up from draping herself in dead meat.)

4. Jared Leto
Academy Award-winning TV/film/rock god Jared Leto has his guitar-shredding hands gripping a number of promising tech investments. Along with other like-minded celebs, he's backed: Reserve, a new restaurant reservation app; Reddit, the viral news hub; Robinhood, a zero-commission stock trading app, and Zenefits, an all-in-one human resources platform. His favorite tech investment so far, reports TechCrunch, is Nest Labs, a smart home automation startup that Google scooped up for a whopping $3.2 billion.

5. Justin Bieber
Teen sensation-turned-bad-boy Justin Bieber cut his pearly white teeth on tech investing at the tender age of 18. In 2013, he led a $1.1 million seed investment into a selfie show-and-tell app called Shots of Me, which is, duh, targeted to teens. "The Biebs," who has eaten some humble pie for his a recent rash of lawbreaking indiscretions, is wisely following in the footsteps of his "business brain" and manager Scooter Braun, whose considerable chops in tech investing include contributions to Spotify and Stamped. Bieber holds stakes in both companies as well.

6. 50 Cent
This East Coast hip hop icon founded his first tech company, SMS Audio, in 2011. Short for "studio mastered sound," SMS was formed as a rival to Beats by Dr. Dre. The company offers a wide variety of high-end headphones and headphone accessories, including a set of heart-monitoring earbuds that launched last year, after forging a pivotal partnership with Silicon Valley titan Intel. It's all a long way from his entrepreneurial start selling crack on the streets of his native Queens, New York, neighborhood at age 12.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez says she's tested positive for COVID-19
2 weeks ago Milne News Staff
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has tested positive for COVID-19, her office said in a statement on Sunday.
"She is experiencing symptoms and recovering at home," the statement said. "The Congresswoman received her booster this fall and encourages everyone to get their booster and follow CDC guidelines."
The CDC recommends that Americans who test positive for COVID-19 and develop symptoms isolate for at least five full days. After those five days, the CDC says that people can stop isolating if they are "fever-free for 24 hours without the use of fever-reducing medication and your other symptoms have improved."
The CDC says that "If an individual has access to a test and wants to test, the best approach is to use an antigen test towards the end of the 5-day isolation period. Collect the test sample only if you are fever-free for 24 hours without the use of fever-reducing medication and your other symptoms have improved."
COVID-19 cases continue to surge across the country, with an average of nearly 700,000 new cases reported per day, according to the CDC.
Rep. Ocasio-Cortez is far from the first member of Congress to contract COVID — Sens. Warren and Booker also announced they'd tested positive not too long ago.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez probably was seen in Florida last week partying it up.

Guide to hiking in Slovenia
Categories: Places to visit 15 August 2020
Stuart Forster outlines reasons to go hiking and outlines the best hiking trails in Slovenia.
After touching down in Ljubljana, you might be tempted to hire a car, board a train or travel by bus. However, one of the most rewarding ways of exploring Slovenia is on foot, going hiking in Slovenia.
Trekking gives you the quietude and time to appreciate the chirp of birdsong and the relaxing sound of foliage whispering and rustling as it sways. Slovenia may occupy just 20,151 square kilometres of Europe's landmass but if you take the percentage of ground covered by woodland as the measurement for ranking the continent's most forested nations then it is third, behind the Scandinavian neighbours Sweden and Finland. Remarkably, around 58 percent of Slovenia is covered by forest. This area can give you some of the best hiking trails in Slovenia.
Woodland and conservation zones
In addition to being one of Europe's greenest nations, roughly 36 per cent of the country's surface falls within the boundaries of conservation zones and nature protection areas forming part of the European Union's Natura 2000 network. One of the strategic aims of Natura 2000 is to conserve the continent's natural habitats and wildlife. Inevitably, trekking provides opportunities to catch glimpses of animals and birdlife and to form impressions as to the impact of the project.
The country has more than 7,000 kilometres of marked trails. Within Slovenia's borders you'll have opportunities to trek through Alpine meadows, alongside the shores of lakes and approximately 27,000 kilometres of waterways, on rugged uplands and by the country's 46.6 kilometres of Adriatic coastline.
Two European long-distance footpaths
Two of the twelve European long-distance footpaths created by the European Ramblers' Association intersect the country. Even experienced trekkers need around 30 days to follow the 600-kilometre course of footpath E7 within Slovenia, just a fraction of the transnational trail connecting El Hierro in Spain and Novi Sad in Serbia. It crosses Slovenia between Robič, on the Italian border, and Hodoš, by the frontier with Hungary. Approaching Hodoš will take you through rolling vineyards and onto a 418-metre high hilltop in the Nature Park Goričko, giving views into neighbouring Austria and Hungary. These are some of the best Slovenia hiking trails and why walking in Slovenia is a fantastic experience.
The highest point on the trail is Mount Porezen, 1,632 metres above sea level, a peak offering views of the Julian Alps and, in clear conditions, the sea. The region witnessed heavy fighting during World War Two, so has points of interest for aficionados of military history. Thankfully peace reigns today, allowing wildlife to flourish. Chamois live on the slopes while, above, you may see golden eagles soaring gracefully on the thermals as they watch for prey.
Walking from Finland to Greece
The other long-distance footpath, the E6, cuts 6,300 kilometres across the continent on a north-south axis, between Finland and Greece. The trail runs for 350 kilometres within Slovenia. From Radelj, on the border with Austria, it takes around twenty days to reach the coast at Strunjan, by the elegant coastal town of Portorose, once a destination favoured by the well-to-do of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The path encompasses the Pohorje Mountains and Posavje Hills, meaning a trek on Mount Snežnik, whose peak reaches 1,796 metres over sea level.
If you enjoy mountain scenery then pack your boots and head to Triglav National Park, which covers an area of 838 square kilometres. It became a conservation area back in 1924 and remains Slovenia's only national park. The three-peaked mountain which gives the park its name features on the country's flag and, reaching to 2,864 metres, is the nation's highest.

Mount Triglav and the Vrata Valley
Mountain huts provide refuge for those making an ascent to the peak, an exercise that normally requires a couple of days' effort. Walking along the Vrata Valley provides views of the Peričnik Waterfall, where water first tumbles 16 metres before dropping a further 52 metres.
The area is popular with photographers and planning a trip in autumn means avoiding the steady stream of summer visitors. If water sports are your thing then plan to spend time at nearby Lake Bohinj, the country's largest glacial lake.
European Destinations of Excellence
Walking here places you close to the Soča Valley, which in 2008 became the first of Slovenia's five European Destinations of Excellence, known by the idyllic sounding acronym EDEN. The scenic area is criss-crossed by trails revealing the horrors of conflict during World War One, including the Path of Peace.
Kluže Fortress, built by the Austrians in the late 19th century, hosts exhibitions about the history of the fortifications and the ecology of the region. If you enjoy outdoor activities then the canyoning and kayaking are among the reasons to take off your boots, along with the seasonal trout fishing.

Trekking and Slovenian cuisine
Trekking, of course, burns calories and Slovenians are proud of their cuisine. In 1799 the first Slovenian cookbook was published and a memorial to the author, Valentin Vodnik, stands at Ljubljana's central market. Refuelling is essential but dining is also a means of tasting local produce. Fresh water fish plus Tomlin and Bovec cheeses are among the delicacies of the Soča Valley.

'We want to make films that unnerve, that shake assumptions, that threaten, that do not soft-sell'
Robert Kramer, 'Newsreel' Film Quarterly, Vol. 22, No. 2 (Winter, 1968-69), p.46, University of California Press
A Time for Invention: a symposium of radical filmmaking
Thursday 13 June 2013, 10:30 to 18:00, The Void, Owen Level 2, Sheffield Hallam University
The late '60s and '70s saw the development of documentary film collectives in the UK that addressed the burning political issues of their day. They developed radical forms of independent film production and distribution prior to digital or the web and produced a large body of work, from short agitational cinetracts to sophisticated essayistic features.
The symposium seeks to re-ignite the work of this radical wave, to ask how they engaged with politics and film and how this might inform politically engaged filmmaking today. It will feature films, and filmmakers, from the '70s generation alongside radicals of today.
Keynote Speaker: Federico Rossin (Critic and Curator)
Panelists include
Holly Aylett (Vertigo and 'In the Spirit of Marc Karlin' project)
Luke Fowler (Turner Prize Nominee 2012)
Lina Gopaul and David Lawson (Black Audio Film Collective/Smoking Dogs Films)
Ann Gueddes (Founder of Cinema Action)
Steve Sprung (Cinema Action/Poster Film Collective/Lusia Films)
Dan Kidner (Writer and Curator, recently published 'Working Together: Notes on British Film Collectives in the 1970s')
Christine Molloy (Desperate Optimists)
David Panos (Jarman Award Winner 2012)

A furnace in which volumes of air are supplied from below the fuel bed or supply.
(for heat treatment), a furnace for the treatment of long articles in a vertical position or of metal strips moving vertically. Updraft furnaces, which vary in design, are widely used in the metallurgical and machine-building industries. Two types of updraft furnace are distinguished: batch-type furnaces, with periodic loading of the products; and continuous-operation furnaces. Furnaces of the first type, of which the most commonly used are shaft furnaces, operate with normal oxidizing heating (without muffle) or with the use of shielded atmospheres that protect the products from oxidation (muffled furnaces). Shaft furnaces are used for hardening and drawing gun barrels, shafts, turbine rotors, and other types of long articles. The articles are heated up by gas or electric current. Intense circulation of gas combustion products or the shielded atmosphere speeds up the heating process. Circulation of the shielded atmosphere in furnaces is provided by blowers. Furnaces are built up to a height of 30 m, with a working space 3-4 m in diameter.
Continuous-operation updraft furnaces (in which a strip undergoing heat treatment moves continuously through the furnace) are subdivided into single-conveyer or multiconveyer types. In single-conveyer updraft furnaces the strip undergoes heat treatment in one operation, moving from top to bottom or from bottom to top (for example, furnaces for bright hardening of stainless strips in hydrogen—see Figure 1).
Figure 1. Updraft furnace for bright hardening of a stainless strip in hydrogen.
In multiconveyer furnaces the strip is subjected to heat treatment through a series of up to 40 vertical conveyers (continuous sheet-metal annealing). Updraft furnaces of this type treat cold-rolled strips for various purposes (sheet metal, transformer steel, generator steel, stainless steel, and others). Nonoxidizing annealing, with retention of the strip's bright surface or in combination with chemical heat treatment (decarbonization of transformer steel), is performed most frequently in these furnaces. The metal is heated by gas, which is burned off in radiation pipes, or by electric current. Jet cooling of the strip by shielding gas (nitrogen) or hydrogen is used to shorten the length of the strip in the furnace or the height of the furnace. Radiant panel burners, which accelerate the heating, are used in continuous-operation furnaces with normal oxidizing heating of the strip. The furnaces are set up in continuous strip annealing units, which also include equipment for cleaning the strip, roll winding and unwinding of the strip, and so on. These furnaces range from 20 to 30 m in height and handle strips up to 800 m long at running speeds of up to 10 m/sec. The units are completely mechanized, and their processes are automated by control computers. Continuous-operation updraft furnaces are widely used in the iron and steel industry for the production of cold-rolled strips and sheets.

The programme provides a solid base in the chemistry and physics of organic materials, as well as their connection to real-life applications. A broad range of courses and specializations allows students to customize their own degree profile enabling the focus on individual areas of interest. Students will learn of design, synthesis, characterization, production and development of polymeric materials throughout the duration of the degree programme. The material group includes plastics, rubber, composites, paper, wood and other biological materials; students will be able to handle questions pertaining to the choice of raw materials (renewable versus fossil), and the choice of production processes, material combinations and manufacturing methods to achieve the desired characteristics in the finished product. Great emphasis is placed on environmental issues, such as environmentally-friendly material production and development of sustainable materials.
The language of instruction is English. Upon graduation, students will be awarded a degree from each of the two universities they attended, thus receiving a double degree.
The student should apply via www.universityadmissions.se and inform in the cover letter, in which university he/she will study the first and second year; Aalto University in Finland, Chalmers, KTH, Norwegian University of Science and Technology or Technical University of Denmark.

Q: OpenGL image disappears on selection if the OS is not Linux I need to check if an object or an empty space has been clicked in OpenGL. I capture the click event in the MouseCallback function which passes the x and y click coordinates to ProcessSelection. The function is:
void MouseCallback(int button, int state, int x, int y)
{
    if (button == GLUT_LEFT_BUTTON && state == GLUT_DOWN)
        ProcessSelection(x, y);
}

Then I coordinates process the selection coordinates in ProcessSelection:
#define BUFFER_LENGTH 64
void ProcessSelection(int xPos, int yPos)
{
    printf("xpos: %d\n", xPos);
    printf("ypos: %d\n", yPos);
    GLfloat fAspect;        // Screen aspect ratio
    GLuint selectBuff[BUFFER_LENGTH];
    GLint viewport[4];
    glSelectBuffer(BUFFER_LENGTH, selectBuff);
    glGetIntegerv(GL_VIEWPORT, viewport);
    glMatrixMode(GL_PROJECTION);
    glPushMatrix();
    glRenderMode(GL_SELECT);

    glLoadIdentity();
    gluPickMatrix(xPos, viewport[3] - yPos, 4, 4, viewport);

    fAspect = (float)(viewport[2]) / (float)viewport[3];

    gluPerspective(120, fAspect, 1, 300);
    display();

    // Restore the projection matrix
    glMatrixMode(GL_PROJECTION);
    glPopMatrix();
    glMatrixMode(GL_MODELVIEW);
    glLoadIdentity();

    hits = glRenderMode(GL_RENDER);

    if (hits >= 1)
        enable_animation = !enable_animation;
    else
        glutSetWindowTitle("You clicked empty space!");
}

The gluPerspective() is the exact same function that is called in the reshape function. I noticed that it works well in Linux but not in Windows and Mac OS X where the image disappears at every click. I can't understand why. Can someone help me?

'Sound Reasoning' is a unique photographic journey through the Dancehall scene of the 1980's with short excerpts from interviews Anna Arnone did with a whole host of artists from the scene. Coxsone, Saxon, Macka B., Smiley Culture are just a few of the names featured. Benjamin Zephaniah's introduction to the book is very personal. He illustrates the importance of Sound System culture and just how powerful their pull was on the youth whose roots were in the Caribbean, especially Jamaica, and how integral reggae, MC's and Dancehall were to the continuing tradition of the spoken word as a way of spreading news, storytelling and poetry.
The book also covers much of the background and history to the Sound Systems in Anna's images of and words - from amp builders, the Hassells, who were the first to cut dubs in the UK for the sound and reggae community, and people like Mr Peckings and Percy metro who describe the history.

Most of my life, I've felt much like the proverbial square peg in a round hole.
A rusty tractor in a shiny new lineup of equipment.
A knobby-kneed donkey among beautiful, graceful horses.
A dandelion set against dahlias.
A rough draft stuck in the middle of a pile of beautiful books bonded with buttery, leather covers.
What is fitting in anyway?
I'm part of a couple of groups right now that I really, really love, but even still, those sneaky feelings of less than, imposter-ism, you-don't-belong, try to boss me.
Comparison is the sneaky, ugly monster who cozies up to us and has us looking for where we lack, fogging our vision to truth.
I think the counter solution looks something like this. Gathering the lies and less-than thoughts and dumping them on the drafting board of the Master Crafter. He's first rate at shaping and reforming and penciling out the pieces of my ongoing story.
I think it looks like stepping away from "me" and dropping flowers off at my aunt's door or texting a friend to share coffee and heartfelt conversation. It's counting joy in serving others as I tuck clean dishes in the cupboard & clatter the dirty ones into the dishwasher.
It's laughing with my teen son and basking in the beautiful of now.
It looks like remembering and reiterating the good in my life. It's found in playing Pollyanna's glad game and reading the simple, but oh-so-profound, words of Winnie-the-Pooh.
Everything must begin somewhere. A rough draft may need editing and polishing, reworking and rewriting. Truth is, we could probably tweak forever.
Rough edges and awkwardness and square-peggedness may be part of our lives until we reach our glorious finish and the draft opens to Chapter One. It's part of learning and growing and trying new things. It's part of humanness. It's part of what keeps bringing me back to my Father's Love pushing me deeper into depending on Him, clinging to Him, resting in contentment in Him.
Perhaps there's more beauty in a square peg than a first glance finds!


System Design offers complete design creation and control, including key elements such as, schematics, variant management, FPGA integration, layout and routing environment, design re-use, and version control.
Control is crucial in today's electronic product development process. In the engineering phase of the design, CADSTAR helps to guarantee complex designs are right-first-time to meet tight delivery deadlines.
The Constraint Browser guides engineers through a fully integrated, constraints-driven design methodology to meet high-speed performance requirements.
CADSTAR's schematic editor dramatically increases productivity, building in the information required in the PCB design from the beginning to create single-sided or complex double-sided, multilayer and SMT designs that are right-first-time. The designer is in complete control, using key elements such as schematics, variant management, FPGA integration, layout and routing environment, design re-use, and version control.
A complete and open CAD solution for the creation of circuit diagrams used in electronic design and an alternative Schematic front-end solution for CADSTAR PCB design.
CADSTAR FPGA supports Actel, Altera, Lattice, Quicklogic and Xilinx flows from one universal project manager that controls all design files for simulation, synthesis, place and route and pin assignment to the PCB.
Variant Managers allow the designer to change any part of a design to match different product and international requirements, storing all the information in a single CADSTAR schematic design file. It will also create multiple BOMs (bill of materials) for each variant in the early stage of the product design cycle, allowing purchasing departments time to negotiate component costs.
CADSTAR features extensive on-line libraries from which you can choose ready-made parts. Create additional parts with CADSTAR's easy-to-use symbol and component wizard.

A high percentage of netbooks are sold via the cellphone retail network and one of the biggest in the UK, Carphone Warehouse, withdrew all Linux machines last year.
Microsoft have bought XP back from the dead for netbooks but it adds £50 to the UK retail price of the machines.
So we are caught between a rock and a hard place as netbooks head for the sub $100 sweet spot there seems to be no valid 0S solution.


Cryo-Cell International, Inc. a global leader in stem cell innovation, resolves to help women inspire and empower each other to take charge of their health in the New Year, and to spark conversations about the promise of stem cells. The company will be accepting video entries for its "Resolution Revolution" contest through January 31, 2010, and details on the event can be found at www.celle.com/resolution.
The C'elle service is the first and only one of its kind, empowering women to collect and cryo preserve stem cells from their menstrual flow.
Stem cells from menstrual blood are proven to be a rich source of stem cells which proliferate rapidly and have the ability to become many different types of cells such as cardiac, neural, bone, fat and cartilage.
These stem cells are a potential source for promising regenerative therapies to treat stroke, cardiac, diabetes, breast cancer, spinal cord injury, chronic wounds, Alzheimer's and other debilitating diseases.
Since launching its proprietary service, the company continues to expand research and development initiatives worldwide in order to accelerate the potential diagnostic and therapeutic benefits of these unique stem cells. Cryo-Cell partnered with the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Clinical Center, where research is underway to better understand the C'elle stem cells and their potential benefit for the treatment of breast cancer. It also has entered research and licensing agreements with several other organizations to identify potential future diagnostic and therapeutic uses for endometriosis and stress urinary incontinence in women and regenerative medicine specific to wound healing. In 2009, the service was licensed in China, Thailand and Brazil.
For an expectant mother, there are a million details to worry about and a lot of important decisions to be made.
One of those decisions to be made is whether to bank your baby's umbilical cord blood. Cord blood is valuable because it's full of stem cells scientists and doctors can use in research and regenerative medicine.
"Cord blood stem cells are the ones that are obtained from the newborn. They're closest in age to being an embryonic stem cell without being an embryonic stem cell," said David Harris, PhD with Cord Blood Registry.
When they're stored properly in a bank, like one in Arizona, the stem cells can be used to replace other cells in our bodies that may be damaged or missing due to disease. But, you only have one chance to harvest them.
"At the time of delivery, before the placenta is delivered, we have a little bag with a needle and a tube, like an IV tubing, and we actually draw the blood out of the placenta into a prepared bag and that's what you send in to the cord blood banking people," said Dr. Lynn Frame.
But, Dr. Frame says very few of his patients actually do it because of the cost.
Most private cord blood banks charge more than $1,000 up front. Then, for every year you store the blood in one of their cryogenic tanks, it costs about $100. For 18 years of storage, it can add up to about $3,000.
Dr. Joshua Hare believes medicine is close to a goal long thought to be impossible: healing the human heart.
The way to get there? Stem cells.
Hare spends his days peering through powerful microscopes, recruiting scientists from top universities and attending to patients betting on improving their conditions through his clinical trials.
Stem cells, only one-thousandth the size of a grain of sand, are the master cells of the body, the source from which all other cells are created.
The most basic are embryonic stem cells, which are "totipotent," meaning they can divide into any other type of cell — heart tissue, brain tissue, kidney tissue — all 220 cells that exist in the human body. They're controversial because when they are harvested, the embryo is destroyed, ending potential life.
But coming into view are new kinds of stem cells — immature adult stem cells that can be extracted from bone marrow, from organs such as the heart or kidney or even from the skin. These can be taken without destroying embryos.
While researchers until recently believed adult stem cells were limited because they could develop only into cells similar to them — bone marrow cells only into cord blood stem cells, for example — evidence is growing that they, too, may become the tissue for hearts, brains, kidneys and other organs.
Will Intra-Osseous Injection of Umbilical Cord Blood Reduce Graft Failures?
Researchers from Italy have reported that the injection of umbilical cord blood directly into the pelvic bones of patients with leukemia appears promising. These results were recently published in an early online publication of the Lancet Oncology on August 9, 2008.
Transplantation of bone marrow, peripheral blood stem cells, and umbilical cord blood is accomplished by intravenous infusion. The original studies of human bone marrow transplantation were carried out by direct infusion into bone marrow spaces. However, this approach was abandoned as there was no advantage in speed or rate of engraftment over intravenous infusion. Since these early days of transplantation, there have been sporadic attempts to evaluate intra-osseous infusion of stem cells, but no advantage over intravenous infusion was ever found. The reason for this is thought to be that direct infusion of stem cells into the marrow cavity is in fact identical to intra-arterial or intra-venous infusion, and most stem cells enter the general circulation before homing into marrow spaces throughout the body.
Umbilical cord blood transplantation is associated with relatively high graft failure rates thought to be due to the relatively low dose of stem cells in each collection. Researchers have suggested that the infusion of stem cells from two separate cord blood collections alleviates the graft failure problem. However, Italian researches have posed the question of whether or not intra-osseous infusion would be better.
The current trial evaluated direct infusion of umbilical cord blood into the pelvic bones. This trial included 32 patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and 12 with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL); median age was 36 years. Overall, 14 patients had advanced-stage disease that did not respond to standard therapies, and no patient had a suitable donor for the stem cell transplant.
Women in the city will soon have the option of banking their menstrual blood so that menstrual blood stem cells can be used for treatment of serious disorders through stem cell therapy.
Cryo-Cell, which has patented technology to decontaminate samples, started menstrual blood banks in the US last year, and other countries are yet to catch up. Cryo-Cell calls it 'your monthly miracle'. The endometrium-lining of the uterus regenerates every month, suggesting the presence of stem cells. However, there is no published scientific work on the curative properties of such cells.
"Menstrual blood contains millions of stem cells that have many properties and characteristics similar to those of stem cells found in bone marrow and embryos. These stem cells exhibit capabilities for self-renewal and multi-potency," says LifeCell International executive director Mayur Abhaya. Stem cell research hopes to find answers to problems such as cardiac and degenerative diseases, besides cancer.
The biggest advantage of menstrual blood, according to LifeCell chief scientific officer Dr Ajit Kumar, is that it can be easily harvested in a painless, non-invasive manner. "And it also extends the scope of stem cell therapy to a larger section of the people. Cord blood is an option open to only those who are pregnant or those planning babies," he says.
Cryo-Cell International, Inc. today announced results of a study published [this month] in the cover article of Stem Cells and Developmentshowing that stem cells found in menstrual blood may one day be a potential source for stem cell therapies in stroke and other central nervous system disorders. Menstrual stem cells, known as MenSCs, offer an easily accessible, non-controversial and renewable stem cell source with the potential to one day treat a host of diseases, such as stroke, osteoporosis, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease, according to a number of early studies. The study, entitled "Menstrual Blood Cells Display Stem Cell-Like Phenotypic Markers and Exert Neuroprotection Following Transplantation in Experimental Stroke," was conducted by researchers at Cryo-Cell International, the University of South Florida , Saneron-CCEL Therapeutics and the Medical College of Georgia.
Because the cell damage after an initial stroke episode occurs over an extended time, treatment strategies directed at quickly rescuing these nerve cells have the potential to slow the disease progression and possibly restore nerve function. In this study, researchers found that transplantation of MenSCs, either directly into the brain or peripherally, significantly reduced behavioral and histological abnormalities, suggesting that the MenSCs had a protective effect on brain cells, averting further apoptosis, or cell death, and potentially reversing the neural trauma experienced during a stoke.
During the study, the investigators analyzed shed menstrual blood and tissue to identify MenSCs. The samples were obtained using a menstrual cup and transferred to a laboratory for processing and cryopreservation. After inducing a simulated stroke (oxygen glucose deprivation, OGD) on adult rats, the researchers injected the rats withmenstrual blood –derived stem cells and found that those who were exposed to MenSCs exhibited a significantly reduced death rate. Behavioral assessments of motor coordination and neurological function were performed on the rats 14 days after stroke-transplantation and indicated improvements in both motor and neurological abnormalities.
"Compared to other stem cell sources, such as bone marrow and umbilical cord blood , MenSCs are harvested from a readily available and renewable source of adult mesenchymal stem cells. These novel and highly prolific stem cells are easily obtained using non-invasive methodology and create the potential for matched cell transplantations in large scale clinical trials," said Julie Allickson, Ph.D., study investigator and Vice President, Laboratory Operations, Research and Development at Cryo-Cell International, Inc.
The benefits of stem cells derived from menstrual blood were first indicated in a study sponsored by Cryo-Cell that was published in Cell Transplantation in April 2008. That study demonstrated that MenSCs are stromal stem cells, meaning they have the capability to differentiate into important cells, such as such as bone, cartilage, fat, nerve and cardiogenic cells.
The Celle SM service is based on Cryo-Cell's expansive IP technology portfolio and was introduced in November, 2007 as the first and only service that empowers women to collect and cryopreserve menstrual flow containing undifferentiated adult stem cells for future utilization by the donor or possibly first-degree relatives in a manner similar toumbilical cord blood stem cells. Based on the continued success of MenSCs in the research setting, Cryo-Cell is actively expanding its portfolio of research collaborations with world renowned scientists committed to study this novel stem cell population for a broad range of regenerative therapeutic development.


Graphing: Why one is part, and one is not.
The solution of x < 2 are all those numbers less than 2. They are shown on the graph by shading all points to the left of 2. The open circle at 2 indicates the 2 is not part of the graph. (So states my book.) It does not say WHY 2 is NOT part of the graph.
The next item states: The solutions of x > or = to –3 are shown on the number line by shading the point from –3 and all points to the right of –3. The closed circle at –3 indicates that –3 IS part of the graph (but, as before, it does not say WHY this distinction is made). The first one IS, and the second IS NOT. Why? Can you clear this up for me? Thank you.
The solution of \(\displaystyle x\,<\,2\) are all those numbers less than 2.
They are shown on the graph by shading all points to the left of 2.
The open circle at 2 indicates the 2 is not part of the graph.
It does not say WHY 2 is NOT part of the graph.
They assume you understood what "less then 2" means.
What numbers are less than 2?
Of course, 1, 0, -1, -2, . . . but also 1.9 and 1.99 and 1.999 ... etc.
Is 2 less than 2? . . . No, 2 is equal to 2.
So 2 is not a number which is less than 2.
And that's why it's not part of the graph . . .
by shading the point at –3 and all points to the right of –3.
(but, as before, it does not say WHY this distinction is made).
. . then we want all the points "above" -3 . . . and -3 itself.
It makes perfect sense. I think Bittinger could have mentioned it. Thank you.

Q: trying to use angular-timer, am getting this error "TypeError: moment.locale is not a function" I have been trying to use the angular-timer, in my angularjs app, but I keep getting this error "TypeError: moment.locale is not a function".
  I added my scripts like so. please can someone help me out?
<script src="assets/_plugins/classroom/angular-timer/angular-timer.min.js"></script>
<script src="assets/_plugins/classroom/moment/min/moment.min.js"></script>
<script src="assets/_plugins/classroom/angular-timer/humanize-duration.js"></script>
<script src="assets/_plugins/classroom/moment/min/locales.min.js"></script>
<script src="assets/_plugins/classroom/moment/min/moment-with-locales.js"></script>

A: Looks like your order might be wrong. I would guess that angular-timer depends on moment, locals and moment-with-locals, so it should be last in the loading order.
Update:
Alternatively, as plugin implementation can be problematic. I created a working demo of a custom timer/countdown for a user's question here, perhaps it can be adapted for your solution or at least lead you in the right direction.
You set an end time and supply a function to run when that end time is met.

Dutton House
Dutton House portrays the home of an 1820s New England entrepreneur and his family. The house was built by Salmon Dutton in Cavendish, Vermont in 1782 and served as both as family residence and—at various times in its history—a tavern, an inn, and office space for several different enterprises. Dutton House was moved to the Museum in 1950 when a road-widening project threatened the structure. It was the first dwelling relocated to the grounds.
Dutton House's history of different and evolving uses is reflected in its continuous architecture. From an original saltbox-style cottage—a typical New England style distinguished by an asymmetrical roof—Dutton's descendants added many wings and additions to create a network of interconnected structures.

Are you wondering how you can help an alcoholic quit drinking and encourage them to embrace their recovery? The reality is that alcoholism can be debilitating for the individual, but it can also be extremely difficult for the loved ones of the alcoholic as well. Instead of letting yourself get worked up or overwhelmed, try to stay positive and be there to support your loved one.
Looking up some simple ways to help an alcoholic quit drinking and maintain their sobriety can be helpful. After all, the more you know and understand about the disease of alcoholism, the better it will be for both you and your loved one. While knowing how to help a loved one struggling with alcoholism doesn't necessarily guarantee that your loved one will be receptive to your support, it's important to know what to do to show them that you are there to support them rather than enable their alcoholism.
Have you ever let your loved one know that you are genuinely concerned about their drinking? Sometimes just making the statement and letting them know that you want to be there to support them can make all the difference. The way you think you portray support and the way your loved one internalizes it may be completely different, which is why letting them know verbally can help make it known as clearly as possible that you are there to help them every step of the way toward recovery.
Another major way that you can help an alcoholic quit drinking and show your support is by letting them know that you are there for them if they ever want to talk about anything. Even if you are unsure about what to say, it can help to let your loved one vent. Showing your loved one that you are there to listen can be critical, especially when it comes to helping them build healthier coping skills, such as talking to someone like yourself. Letting your loved one know that you are there for them whenever they want to talk and truly listening to them without thinking of what you will say in response can make all the difference. Even if your loved one doesn't gravitate toward you in the beginning, it's important to let them know that you are there for them whenever they are ready and willing to talk.
If your loved one is feeling triggered to drink, offering to go with them to a support group and/or 12 Step meeting can be a nice gesture. You may not know how else to console them or help them work through their cravings and frustration, but offering to go with them to a meeting can help relieve some of the pressure they may be feeling. It will also help them actually get to the meeting and receive the support that they need. Even if your loved one isn't feeling triggered, it can help to offer to go with them because it shows that you are genuinely concerned and encourage their recovery.
When you want to help an alcoholic quit drinking and support their recovery, it's important to make it known to them. These tips can help you be there for your loved one when they need you most. Remember that it may take time for your loved one to be receptive to your support and kind gestures, so try to be patient with them. Watch out for areas in your life that you may be enabling your loved one too, such as continuing to bail them out of legal trouble or giving them money that they end up using to get alcohol. Dealing with the disease of alcoholism isn't easy – not for the alcoholic or their loved one, but a full recovery is completely possible when the individual takes the necessary steps to live a new way of life in sobriety.
The Watershed Addiction Treatment Programs in Florida and Texas has been helping alcoholics, addicts, and their loved ones for over 20 years. With individualized treatment programs and services, patients can and do recover. Don't wait to get help for your loved one. Call The Watershed today at 1-800-861-1768.


Doctor Who Memes?! ALLONS-Y…or…LET'S GO!!!
Anyway, Doctor Who is a British science fiction television series that aired from 1963 to 1989, before being revived for its contemporary run in 2005. The show chronicles the adventures of a nameless time-travelling, physically regenerating (as 11 actors has portrayed the main character) humanoid alien simply referred to as "The Doctor". He is believed to be the last remaining survivor of a species known as "The Time Lords." In each episode, The Doctor, along with different human companions, travel through time and space aboard a ship called the TARDIS (which stands for "Time And Relative Dimension In Space"), which appears to regular people as a vintage blue police box. Due to the near-50-year history of the show, Doctor Who has gathered a cult following, and in 2006, the show was designated as television's longest running science fiction series by the Guinness Book of World Records.


2012 Commissioner's Cup. Game 7. For all the marbles.
Two of the league's powerhouse teams were going at each other leading up to this do-or-die collision course that would decide the champion.
Fast forward to the fourth quarter, after being down for the most part, the B-Meg Llamados came roaring back, capping off an epic comeback led by James Yap and Denzel Bowles to cut TNT's lead to two points in the dying moments.
B-Meg had two chances to try and tie the game- first, a missed floater by James Yap followed by a missed gimme by Bowles after Yap had found him underneath. As time expired, Talk 'N' Text appeared to have clinched the title after the crucial defensive stop. But did they?
"There's a foul! May foul!" color commentator Mico Halili exclaimed, barely hearing the referee's whistle.
You could see faces filled with shock, especially on TNT's side since everything was a ruckus in Araneta. Kelly Williams was called for a foul and with 1.2 seconds left on the clock, Best Import awardee Denzel Bowles stepped into the charity stripe and knocked down two crucial free throws to eventually force the game into overtime.
The two teams were clearly gassed in the extra period as they would walk the ball every chance they get, trying to get the best shot.
However, the momentum brought about by Bowles carried over during overtime, as he sank crucial baskets that would put away TNT for good, snatching the championship away from them. Through his Herculean efforts, Denzel Bowles would finish the game with 39 points.
As balloons and confetti were falling from the rafters, the trophy is being raised by the Llamados in front of 21,046 fans in the Big Dome clearly in pandemonium. James Yap would be dubbed as the Finals MVP of the series and Tim Cone would win his 14th title, his first after his illustrious Alaska stint.
"If you asked me what happened, I absolutely have no idea. But if you're going to beat a team like Talk 'N Text, you have to do amazing things," said Tim Cone.
"I'm speechless, I'm so speechless. I'm just so proud of my team. I'm so glad I came to B-MEG planet and won my first championship, with this team," said Denzel Bowles, still in awe of what just happened.

Alternate Title: EO 13841: Affording Congress an Opportunity to Address Family Separation
"It is the policy of this Administration to rigorously enforce our immigration laws. Under our laws, the only legal way for an alien to enter this country is at a designated port of entry at an appropriate time. When an alien enters or attempts to enter the country anywhere else, that alien has committed at least the crime of improper entry and is subject to a fine or imprisonment under section 1325(a) of title 8, United States Code. This Administration will initiate proceedings to enforce this and other criminal provisions of the INA until and unless Congress directs otherwise. It is also the policy of this Administration to maintain family unity, including by detaining alien families together where appropriate and consistent with law and available resources. It is unfortunate that Congress's failure to act and court orders have put the Administration in the position of separating alien families to effectively enforce the law."

US beheading suspect charged with first degree murder, could face death penalty
Alton Nolen, who allegedly beheaded a female co-worker, has been charged with first degree murder and will likely face the death penalty, a prosecutor said on Tuesday. -- PHOTO: AFP PHOTO HANDOUT-OKLAHOMA DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS

http://str.sg/EDY
LOS ANGELES (AFP) - A US man who allegedly beheaded a female co-worker has been charged with first degree murder and will likely face the death penalty, a prosecutor said on Tuesday, giving details of the grisly attack.
Alton Nolen, 30, spoke in Arabic while he decapitated his victim with a "large kitchen knife," Cleveland County District Attorney Greg Mashburn said, adding that the suspect appeared to hate white people.
Prosecutors have yet to decide whether to seek the death penalty, Mashburn said, adding however that it was "highly likely". The FBI will decide separately whether to bring terrorism charges, he said.
"Obviously there was some sort of infatuation with beheading," he told reporters. "Other than that it seemed to be an isolated incident."
The attack came in the wake of a series of beheadings of Western captives by militant fighters in the Middle East and Algeria, but US officials have not confirmed any link to the Oklahoma case. Nolen had recently converted to Islam.
It occurred last Thursday at a food processing plant in the city of Moore, Oklahoma, where Nolen had just been suspended from his job. He went home and retrieved a kitchen knife, then returned to the front of the company building, where he killed 54-year-old Colleen Hufford, a co-worker.
"Upon entering the building he came across Mrs Hufford and attacked her from behind, ultimately killing her and beheading her," said the prosecutor.
Nolen then attacked another female co-worker - at which point several other people tried to distract him.
"There were multiple attempts by multiple people to stop this attack," said the prosecutor. He was eventually brought down by a company boss, Mark Vaughan, a reserve deputy sheriff who shot Nolen.
Asked what triggered the incident, Mashburn said Nolen had been suspended earlier in the day as a result of a dispute over race.
"From my understanding there was an altercation about him not liking white people," he said. Earlier reports had said he had tried to convert co-workers to Islam.
Nolen, who was injured, remains in hospital but will be arraigned on charges of first degree murder and assault as soon as he is able to leave and be taken into normal custody.
Asked if he could face terrorism charges, the prosecutor said: "There is not a terrorism statute in the state of Oklahoma. If there is, if that avenue is decided to be pursued it could be something that's pursued by the federal authorities."
Prosecutors will discuss whether to seek the death penalty with the victim's family. "That decision is not fair to make without consulting them first but that's highly likely at this point," he said.
His mother broke her silence at the weekend, apologising in a video posted online. "My heart is just so heavy right now," his mother Joyce Nolen said in the video posted Saturday on Facebook. "That's not my son."
On Facebook, Nolen went by the monicker Jah'Keem Yisrael. He posted photographs of the World Trade Centre towers going up in smoke during the September 11, 2001 attacks and of graves.
"THE ONES WHO DIED IN SIN WILL REMAIN IN THEIR GRAVES CAUSE THEIR ALREADY IN HELL!!!" he wrote on September 17 in a posting that got five "likes".
The Islamic Society of Greater Oklahoma City has stressed that "this unwarranted act does not represent Islam in any shape or form".
In a separate case, a Kenyan man is being held on terror charges in nearby Oklahoma City for allegedly threatening to behead a woman days before last week's decapitation in Moore.
Jacob Muriithi allegedly made the threat and mentioned the ISIS (Islamic State4 in Iraq and Syria) extremist group responsible for beheading two American and one British civilian in videos distributed on the internet to a woman working at a nursing home in Oklahoma City, though the woman initially thought he was joking.
