This is the Disney Count Down to Christmas Calendar I bought back when they first came out with the item on DisneyStore.com. I had purchased the Calendar for 39.99. When checking today, it's around 59.99. We have used it every year, and its the one Disney item that I have a Christmas that my son still wants to do even at 14 years old. It's become a tradition and he enjoys seeing the wreath get covered over the month with the small decors.
These are sets of 9 Disney ornaments I had picked up at Disney World a few years back. Each set was 19.99 and is so beautiful in our tree. Having a matching set of Disney ornaments kinds of brings the tree together and really makes it festive.
These sets are small, they are about 2 inches. We have a six foot tree. They have larger sets that would look great in a larger tree. The price might be a bit more but worth it!
This picture on my left shows how nice they fit in the tree.
Tinker Bell has been my star for years. I bought her back in 2004 and have used her at Christmas ever since. She was 39.99 and I think she has gone up in price since then. They have others to pick from. I have seem others of Tinker Bell, Mickey Mouse and so on. Her wings light and change colors of greens and reds. The Wings twinkle as well. I have never had a problem with her since I have bought her, A Great Purchase!
For outside, I have some fun characters, Mickey and Minnie which were purchased at Walmart for 49.99 each and this year I picked up Olaf for 19.99 at Dollar General. Great find! They all stand about 30 inches tall outside.
These are just a few of my Disney Christmas Decors. Would love to hear of some of yours?
Thanks for stopping by and have a magical day.

Braintree District Council has become the first local authority to implement Siebel 50 — a version of Siebel Public Sector aimed at smaller organisations. The CRM package can be implemented in 50 days and costs less than £100,000 to install, the company claims.
Siebel 50 includes a new case management package which is pre-configured to manage services such as waste management and other environmental services as well as complaint handling procedures and includes "functionality specifically designed for UK authorities", the company says.
"Siebel 50 has transformed the efficiency and effectiveness of our service delivery," said Roger Bramwell, head of customer services at Braintree District Council. "In the past, citizens were often unable to speak to the right member of the Council's staff because we had so many separate, disconnected processes and systems. Now, the integrated view means we can provide a single point of contact to resolve every inquiry our constituents have."
According to Bramwell, measured on system usage, Siebel 50 has been a success and it has allowed the council to make its services "more inclusive" and "easier for the general public to navigate".
Following the deployment of Siebel 50, "we are experiencing a 40 percent increase in Council contact through our customer services centre," said Bramwell.
Siebel implemented the system at Braintree in partnership with Customer Systems, a consultancy firm.

Are you a fan?
I like the show, but I have to admit that I haven't watched the entire series, but I do so love a beautiful, one of a kind yarn.
That's what I have - straight from Jimmy Beans Wool - Lorna's Laces sportmate in the Downton Abbey colorway:
Pretty, isn't it?
I should really take my own picture because of course it's a bit different.
There's still time to get involved in the KAL - just go to the Jimmy Beans Wool blog and you'll find links on there with instructions.
Now even though I haven't watched enough of the show this was something I intended to do over the Christmas break, but along with cleaning, decluttering, and exercising, watching the two seasons of the show were things that didn't get accomplished. Think it will make a difference?
I hope not.
Which is why I felt okay taking this little quiz that tells you which Downton Abbey character you are.
Guess who I am.
A maid.
To be precise:
You are Anna Smith, head housemaid of Downton. You are basically the best employee ever. Competent, practical and tough, you can handle anything life throws at you - whether it's rude colleagues, secretive romantic partners or surprise dead bodies in the workplace. Your kindness and loyalty are to be admired, and that Bates fellow should really recognize what a catch you are.Go figure.
Introverted me, working quietly for the people, and not the one living in luxury.
It's time to start knitting.

Code: C346B
- Description
- Colours
- Sizes
- Care & Storage
An embroidered scalloped edge is adorned with corded lace appliques and silver diamante detail. Each lace applique is embellished with silver crystals, and a graduated crystal scatter cascades down the back of the veil. This veil comes with two tiers and is half combed as standard but can be requested with one tier, or fully combed.
A wide range of tulle colours are available. We can also dye tulle to match a swatch on request.
Colour Chart
Wedding veils are available in standard sizes, with special sizes made on request.
Size Chart
Hang to allow creases to fall out naturally (keeping away from pets or small children). This should happen in just a few days. Do not steam or iron your veil as this may damage it.
Designer Insights
Lace applique veils are easy to match with a lace dress, as the small pieces of lace won't take away from your gown. The silver diamante on this veil will work well with silver detail on your dress, and when worn in a long length, will draw attention to your beautiful train.

For the past 7 weeks I have been taking part in the 5×50 Challenge. I do hope I've not bored you with my updates! The hardest thing about completing this challenge has been keeping the updates a bit more interesting than, "we went for a walk"…
For those of you that aren't in the loop 5×50 is a challenge where you have to walk, run or cycle 5k a day for 50 days. It started back on Sunday 27th April. The philosophy behind 5×50 is that exercise should become a habit not a chore.
This weekend was the final day 50, and what a weekend it was, but first I need to fill in you in on the final few days:
Day 43
You may have seen the post, but we went for a walk in Yewdale Woods, 10k complete.
Day 44
I got my bike tyre fixed! A quick cycle to the next village and back another 5K.
Day 45
Uh oh, a failed day but rescued with a Daddy babysitter… A quick power walk for Mummy – 5K check.
Day 46
I'm enjoying the weather so much, I went walking through the fields with an Ice cream and the Robot. 5K.
Day 47
Cycled to my Fit4Mums class and back, aswell as the exercises, consider that 5K done.
Day 48
Walking to Kendal and back with Mum, 5K.
Day 49
Cycled to our campsite for the night, 16K
Day 50
Then Cycled back again, another 16K, pictures to follow.
So there you have it, a whole 50 days of getting out of the house and enjoying ourselves. I've really enjoyed taking part this year. I probably would have gone out every day anyway but this way I got to achieve a goal!
The best thing about this challenge is getting the Robot on the back of the bike and getting cycling again myself. We've gone on several rides over the 5×50 with one goal in mind, a cycle camp. We managed it this weekend…
Cycle Camping to Helwith Bridge
We sat watching the Robot play on Saturday morning talking about what we'd like to do this weekend. It was 7am so the possibilities were still endless! I suggested camping, but as we camped last weekend Dave wasn't too keen. This coming from Dave surprised me, so I suggested well why not try on the bikes too? The idea born, we swung into action…
Our chosen campsite at Helwith Bridge is 30 miles away, somewhere we would've cycled too in the past. With the Robot in tow though we opted to catch the train closer. With a deadline of a train to catch we were ready to go by 11am.
We arrived in Bentham a little while later, fuelled up on sausage rolls and krispie cakes, we set off on what would be our 12 mile cycle ride. The first leg was all up hill, but brilliant views when we got up there.
The Robot is pretty good, he fell asleep about 30 minutes in. We took an off-road cycle way at one point, that required pushing the bikes up and over boulders (mini rocks). I am so impressed he stayed asleep at this point. It was well worth it though as traffic free cycling is the way forward! 10 miles isn't too far once you're used to it. Our destination in view and only 1.30pm!
We set up camp and offloaded our camping gear and cycled into the village of Horton in Ribblesdale to buy ice cream. Only another mile, so it really wasn't that bad! Dave got stung by a bee while we were there and was more relieved that it was him that got stung rather than his son who was close by too.
Back at the campsite we had an hour to play around before a reasonable tea time, we made cups of teas and entertained the Robot. I had a play with back carrying the Robot on my back with my woven wrap. Turns out I can do it but just need to tie it better! Luckily, and partly why we chose the campsite, there was a pub next to the campsite. We got to have tea out for a change, steak and ale pie all round.
Night time was relatively straight forward. The Robot slept better than the previous week. Dave and I got cuddle with wine in the porch of the tent until it got too cold and we headed into our sleeping bags for rest. The morning bought sun and clouds and a 7am wake up. We had a train to catch at midday, not wanting to miss it, we got up, ate porridge and packed up in time to get to the station. An hour early. Dave not one for resting on his laurels went and bought bacon and beans and made us some brunch on the station platform!
Overall a fantastic way to end the 5×50 Challenge. We have many plans ahead for the summer and lots of adventures that we want to go on. Hopefully we will be able to take you with us.
Some of my favourite memories from the last are recorded in blog form:
Cycling in The Forest of Bowland
Walking in Yewbarrow Woods, the Lake District
Do you want to know more about the 5×50 for next year? Why not have a look at their website below. They are taking sign ups for 2017 already! Rest assured though I'll probably take part next year too, so I'll remind you!

Charlotte Hungerford Hospital: Protecting Patients with Advanced Technology
Several years ago, Charlotte Hungerford Hospital (CHH) found themselves with an outdated security system that lacked quality video coverage and recording capabilities. CHH struggled with reliable video playback and faced frequent system crashes, often leaving them unable to provide accurate evidence during investigations. As a result, many liability claims and hospital incidents went unresolved.Download PDF
With a desire to improve its legacy surveillance system, CHH looked to Avigilon's advanced artificial intelligence (AI) technology and video analytics to meet their security needs. CHH began a multi-phase upgrade that included installing over 100 Avigilon cameras with self-learning video analytics, deploying AI-based Avigilon Appearance Search™ technology, and using impulse radar technology with the Avigilon Presence Detector (APD) Sensor.
Avigilon's AI solutions moves the CHH system from legacy to advanced and provides effective monitoring around the clock while also helping to create operational efficiencies. Since deploying ACC software, CHH's operators spend significantly less time reviewing recorded video, allowing them to focus on proactive event response. Working with Avigilon, Charlotte Hungerford Hospital has a roadmap for continued growth and exceptional patient safety.
"Avigilon has made us more efficient, as I don't have to spend as much time sifting through large amounts of video. Instead, I can use Appearance Search technology to find the person or vehicle I am looking for, faster."

"CHH needed a cost-effective, comprehensive security solution that could protect patients and staff across multiple locations while still being flexible enough to scale with the hospital's growing needs."
A Challenging Safety Diagnosis
It was over a century ago that Charlotte Hungerford Hospital (CHH) was founded, as a gift by industrialist Uri T. Hungerford. The vision was to create a community hospital that would serve as a beacon of hope and a place of comfort for the ill and injured. 100 years later, that same community spirit has helped CHH evolve into a vibrant, independent, affordable healthcare network that delivers a comprehensive range of healthcare programs and services for over 100,000 lives in Northwestern Connecticut.
Charlotte Hungerford Hospital prides itself on supporting patient and staff safety in all hospital areas and locations. Several years ago, they found themselves with an outdated security system that lacked quality video coverage and recording capabilities. CHH struggled with reliable video playback and faced frequent system crashes. As a result, the hospital's security operators were often unable to provide accurate evidence during forensic investigations and many liability claims and hospital incidents went unresolved.
The Treatment: Avigilon Artificial Intelligence and Analytics Technology for Security
Avigilon Appearance Search technology—a sophisticated deep learning AI search engine—helps CHH quickly locate a specific person or vehicle of interest across all cameras both inside the hospital and care centers as well as outside parking lots. This technology provides CHH's operators with enhanced situational awareness, enabling fast event response and helping to save time and effort during critical investigations.
To protect areas of the hospital where cameras cannot be installed, CHH installed the Avigilon Presence Detector (APD), a discreet impulse radar device with self-learning radar analytics that scans, learns, and continuously adapts to its environment.
Capable of detecting persons who aren't moving or are hidden, the APD™ sensors help improve situational awareness for CHH staff, and are used in areas where cameras are not permitted, such as restrooms or change rooms. When integrated with Avigilon Control Center (ACC) video management software, APD sensors alert CHH operators of human presence while still maintaining privacy.
Avigilon H4 cameras were used throughout the hospital to provide exceptional image quality and built-in self-learning video analytics, which provides accurate detection and notification of movement of people and vehicles. CHH also deployed HD Multisensor cameras which provide up to four camera views per camera installation, using only one camera license and network drop. This allows CHH's staff to efficiently cover all angles in order to detect, verify, and act on potential security events across the hospital's premises.
"Avigilon was chosen because of its high-quality imaging and advanced technology that brings efficiencies to security professionals."
A Successful Remedy
At the core of CHH is a desire to help the community and still serve as the beacon of compassion it was founded to be 100 years ago. With these values in mind, the hospital's mission when it comes to security is the safety of patients, visitors, and employees. By working with Avigilon, Charlotte Hungerford Hospital has a roadmap for continued growth and exceptional patient safety.

I'll never forget the day I found out my home had a Batchelder fireplace. Many years ago I was in a tile store in Pasadena and saw something that looked very familiar. I asked the salesperson, "what is that tile?" She said "it's a Batchelder reproduction." I said "I have that same tile on my fireplace." Her eyes got huge and she exclaimed "you have a Batchelder fireplace?" I said "I do now." Who knew?
Anyway, enough about me. This week I had the unexpected pleasure of viewing two homes for sale in Pasadena with exquisite Batchelder fireplaces.
The first of these homes, located in the North Pasadena Heights Landmark District, features not one but two Batchelder fireplaces! Continue reading

Hi, have come across this site as I am trawling through the internet to try to get answers to all the questions that are spinning through my mind. My husband, aged 45, died suddenly in October 2011, he had come home from work as usual, gone outside in his garage and I found him half an hour later. After nearly four months we have finally got a death certificate which states ischemic heart disease and coronary artery sclorosis. I am petrified that my three children (all boys) will also be at risk from this. My husband was a non-smoker, maybe a little overweight but in no way obese, and physically fit (having recently had medicals to join the coastguards), with no family history of heart disease. He did have a slightly increased level of cholesterol but was not advised to take any drugs. He did have a heart scare in the July of 2011 but was taken to hospital and had all the usual tests and was sent home with no real explanations. I have spoken to our GP about any tests the boys can have, but they seem to offer me no answers - only that the boys can be cholesterol tested - I am still in shock, terrified and don't know where to start to help the boys. Has anyone else got any experience of the same? Thanks.

Vancouver designer Julia Rechel has elevated the intimacy behind lingerie to create hand-sewn pieces for the every woman with her new label, Ellesmere.
The Emily Carr graduate launched the company in early February after a year of careful planning and development.
"It's been a goal of mine to work in lingerie for a while. I studied in Emily Carr's sculpture program and then after that I went on to study pattern making. But I would say that this lingerie project has been ongoing for about a year in the making. With pattern development and then testing garments on friends," she explains.
Ellesemere is a one-woman show; Rechel has built the company with her own two hands—literally. All of the garments are carefully hand-made in her East Vancouver studio, with the intention to keep production ethical and in-house.
The brand name has another distinction as well —it is inspired by Canada's great white north and bodes as a parallel between solitude and city life.
"I like the intimate personal nature of lingerie. It's kind of like a secret, of what you wear under your clothes. There's no limits to what you can design really, because even someone very conservative can wear something creative underneath. It's really a private pleasure," she said.
"I think that's what drew me to lingerie."
Santa Sofia, Ellesmere's launch collection, covets soft blushes and golds, intricately crafted bras, and weightless fabrics.
"The collection is named after a character in Gabriel García Márquez 's 100 Years Of Solitude. And that's quite a famous book in the magical realism literary genre, which I have been reading since I was a kid. I find a lot of inspiration in that genre. It's not fantasy, but fantastical, so you can add in reality a bit. It's the inspiration for the dreamy side of what I do," said Rechel.
The unique dynamic behind Rechel and Ellesmere, is the drive to create pieces that bring out the organic beauty in women, regardless of shape or conformity.
"[Ellesemere] is all about confidence, and independence and really dressing for yourself. I think a lot of mainstream lingerie advertising really bothers me. It's heavily photoshopped, and removes a women's agency. For me as a designer, I want to make pieces that make women feel good. That make them want to dress for themselves and feel great about their bodies and want to treat themselves to something nice."
Ellesmere can be found at Lace Embrace Atelier on Main and 16th, and Knickers Lingerie Boutique, in Victoria, B.C.

Scotland's leading independent property consultancy CKD Galbraith's Ayr Office is pleased to announce that Piperston House, an outstanding country house in a fabulous rural location near Ayr, is the first house to be launched of the Hendry Homes 2011 Portfolio.
This is one of several superb country homes which will be completed to order in 2011.
Hendry Homes managing director Iain Hendry has years of experience of building stunning homes using his trademark green oak frames, such as at Purclewan Mill (pictured above), an outstanding award winning ("Best Property Scotland 2008") hamlet of traditional country homes. Subsequent Hendry Homes' 2009 Barquhey and 2010 High Abbothill offerings have sold within weeks, whilst Gadgirth House, Iain's own house, was recently featured in "25 Beautiful Homes".
Enjoying unrivalled and uninterrupted views across the Carrick Hills to the Isle of Arran, Piperston House is a stunning and individual five bedroom country house, being created using the walls of a former stone cottage, on an outstanding site close to the hamlet of Hollybush.
The house is designed to take advantage of its exceptional location. The ground floor reception rooms are linked by a central hall with picture windows and patio doors offering a spacious and bright living area, complemented by exposed oak frames, and underfloor heating throughout the ground floor. There are five bedrooms, including a stunning master bedroom suite with vaulted beamed ceiling, and four beautifully appointed bathrooms. A large kitchen, cloakroom, utility room and study complete this thoughtfully designed family home.
Finishes are to the highest specification, with oak doors, double glazed windows in natural oak finished PVC-u, flooring including oak, natural travertine or porcelain tiles, and kitchens by Alno with Siemens/Neff appliances.
Externally natural stone finishes are complemented by external cedar cladding. There will be a double garage with covered BBQ area and gardens landscaped to the same high specification.
There is a choice of heating by air or ground source heat pump – marvellous carbon neutral solutions, widely used in Scandinavia. In addition are photovoltaic electricity production and solar thermal hot water options and a heat recovery ventilation system. This is therefore a truly thermally efficient home keeping energy costs to the minimum. Thermagraphic imagery is carried out during and after completion, ensuring this home performs exactly how it should.
[Pictured: Another stunning property by Hendry Homes.]
The 2011 Hendry Homes Portfolio is being launched at an open day at Gadgirth House on Saturday 4th and Sunday 5th June from 11.00 am – 3.00 pm. Details of Piperston House and the other houses being launched in 2011 will be available.
Piperston House is being marketed at a Fixed Price of £695,000.

In my previous post I wrote about Andrew Johnson, the man who became President after Lincoln was assassinated. Here I share what I learned from a reading of his life in Hans Trefousse's biography of Johnson.
1) Convictions can blind us. Generally, one's strengths are also one's weaknesses. Johnson's stalwart, devil-may-care clinging to his beliefs, led him to act unilaterally in restoring the country as he thought should be done. Being sympathetic with the South, and not a supporter of the ex-slaves, he set a very low bar for re-admission to the Union. Actually he believed that the southern states never truly seceded at all since in his reading of the Constitution a state could not legally remove itself from the Union. So as long as they ratified the 13th Amendment and made a vague promise of loyalty, they could come back. Congress generally thought otherwise, and fought against the President. It was a confusing time, and I don't claim to understand it, although I am looking forward to learning more as I read Grant's biography. But it is clear to me that it was wrong for Johnson to claim sole authority to bring about restoration, ignoring the many opinions and ideas being circulated. He was certain he was right, and refused to consider the ideas of others. And the country suffered for it.
2) How do we use the power we have? We all have beliefs and convictions. When do we stand by them "to the death," and when do we compromise and strive to work with those who have other convictions or beliefs? As a pastor, I certainly have my non-negotiables, and many of these I share with the leadership of the church I serve. But beyond those, my responsibility is to lead with, not over, the lay leaders. I may have strong opinions about what we should do in a certain area, but so do my leaders. It is not for me to simply enforce what I want, even if I can. My calling is to work together with the leadership to find solutions and to make decisions. And the more crucial the decision, the more important that is. The future of our church, not unlike the future of the country, is not solely up to me to decide. Nor was it Johnson's. And when you act as though it is your decision, you may find yourself impeached, just like Johnson.
Use the power you have, but don't exceed it, not just for your own good, but for the good of the church too. Johnson, because of his bullheadedness, squandered the opportunity the country had to do Reconstruction right. Instead, the course was set for a future of continued racism, white supremacy, and Jim Crow.
3) Integrity under fire, even when you deserve to burn. Andrew Johnson deserved to be humbled for his arrogance and his over-stepping, but he was acquitted of the charges brought against him in his impeachment. There was no evidence of "high crimes and misdemeanors". And everyone really knew that. But, drawing on that inner well of conviction, Johnson weathered the storm with integrity. He continued to do his job, did not strike back at his enemies, and kept the course he had always followed. After his generally failed presidency, he even had the wherewithal to get elected to the Senate again. That impresses me. Is that well of conviction in me strong enough to see me through adversity, deserved or undeserved, and keep me working for what I believe in?
I don't want to do what Andrew Johnson did, and I don't think I will. But my certainty of that may be simply because I know I don't have the strength of conviction that he had. Does that make me stronger? Or weaker?

I'm in charge of setting up a test ceph cluster in our institution. The hardware where it must fit in is composed by 6 single hdd computers (adding or moving around disks is absolutely not an option).
As a consequence, I partitioned the disks to have the operating system (openSuse Leap 15) and a free (unmounted) partition to test ceph as follows:
Our intention is that sda4 is used by the ceph cluster to store data that will be spread among the 6 machines, being accessible by all while providing some level of redundancy (losing two computers will keep data available, etc).Code:####### # lsblk NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT sda 8:0 0 465,8G 0 disk ├─sda1 8:1 0 500M 0 part /boot/efi ├─sda2 8:2 0 16G 0 part [SWAP] ├─sda3 8:3 0 49,3G 0 part / └─sda4 8:4 0 400G 0 part sr0 11:0 1 3,7G 0 rom #######
Among some difficulties I faced in the different stages of deploying it, we had the same issue with empty profile-default/stack/default/ceph/minions/node*.yml files that vazaari reported on https://forums.suse.com/showthread.p...llect-HDD-info and solved in a similar fashion with handly edited files:
Please note that the device points straight to the sda4 partition, instead of just to the sdb device as in vazaari's thread example.Code:####### # salt -I 'roles:storage' pillar.get ceph node02: ---------- storage: ---------- osds: ---------- /dev/sda4: ---------- format: bluestore standalone: True (and so on for all 6 machines) #######
After this, everything goes smoothly until I run:
Which is where I got stucked. As extra information here follows our "policy.cfg" file:Code:####### # salt-run state.orch ceph.stage.deploy (...) [14/71] ceph.sysctl on node01....................................... ✓ (0.5s) node02........................................ ✓ (0.7s) node03....................................... ✓ (0.6s) node04......................................... ✓ (0.5s) node05....................................... ✓ (0.6s) node06.......................................... ✓ (0.5s) [15/71] ceph.osd on node01...................................... ❌ (0.7s) node02........................................ ❌ (0.7s) node03....................................... ❌ (0.7s) node04......................................... ❌ (0.6s) node05....................................... ❌ (0.6s) node06.......................................... ❌ (0.7s) Ended stage: ceph.stage.deploy succeeded=14/71 failed=1/71 time=624.7s Failures summary: ceph.osd (/srv/salt/ceph/osd): node02: deploy OSDs: Module function osd.deploy threw an exception.

Can anybody help me here with this issue? Where precisely am I most probably messing things up? What should I look for? Should I have not partitioned the sda device up to sda4 and left the space for ceph to find it? Or maybe and unfortunately it is simply not feasible with openSuse Leap + Ceph?Code:######### cluster-ceph/cluster/*.sls profile-default/cluster/*.sls profile-default/stack/default/ceph/minions/*yml config/stack/default/global.yml config/stack/default/ceph/cluster.yml role-master/cluster/node01.sls role-admin/cluster/*.sls role-mon/cluster/*.sls role-mgr/cluster/*.sls role-mds/cluster/*.sls role-ganesha/cluster/*.sls role-client-nfs/cluster/*.sls role-client-cephfs/cluster/*.sls ##########

About AIMS
The Armstrong Institute for Interactive Media Studies is an "transdisciplinary" program at Miami University that examines how digital media is disrupting traditional disciplines. Through teaching, research, and experiential opportunities, AIMS is an example of liberal education in a 21st century world. AIMS differs from traditional departments and programs in that the faculty are both part of AIMS as well as part of the different divisions of Miami University. Thus, AIMS is integrated in all of the divisions, as a horizontal program, because we recognize that "the flat university" is a model that is at the heart of the future for higher education.
The program began in 1996 and is one of the oldest new media programs in the country. Begun with $1 million seed money from Procter & Gamble, the program has grown in size from just one course in 1996 to robust program offering three minors, three majors, and a graduate certificate program.
Today, AIMS is funded through a generous gift of nearly $15 million from C. Michael Armstrong and Anne Armstrong and $1.75 million gift from John Smale. The Armstrong gift was honored with a special event in March 2008.
New Economy Academics
AIMS serves over 900 students with faculty in every division of Miami University. Beyond electives available to all Miami Students, we offer five core opportunities for undergraduate students:
- Interactive Media Studies Minor - The Minor in Interactive Media Studies introduces the student to digital media and allows them to examine their chosen major from a new perspective. It provides students with a framework for integrating a broad understanding of interactive media balanced with a more specific focus on disciplinary tracks.
- Games + Simulation Minor - The Digital Game Studies Minor is a series of courses on digital game design, analysis, and application, presenting a collaboration between the Armstrong Institute for Interactive Media Studies, the College of Arts and Sciences, the School of Fine Arts, the School of Education, Health, and Society and the University Libraries. This minor introduces students to the foundations of game design and implementation, the design of art assets for digital games, developing critical and cultural understandings of digital games, and the relationship of digital games to important trends in learning and literacy.
- Digital Innovation Minor - The Digital Innovation minor is offered in conjunction with the Digital Innovation Centers programs in San Francisco and Cincinnati.
- Games + Simulation Major - With a focus on making and praxis, the Bachelor of Science in Games + Simulation prepares students for a career or graduate study in game design, development, 3D modeling, creative development, writing or designing, esports, and games in other industries, all while encouraging students to take creative risks, to build things, and to think critically about audiences, narratives, and aesthetics.
- Interactive Media Studies Major - This major in the College of Creative Arts is for students interested in exploring the ramifications of interactive media in entertainment, business, art, design, animation, visualization and comparative media studies. Two concentrations are available: Digital and Applied.
The networked world expects, what the innovative design firm IDEO calls "the T-Person", with both breadth of knowledge and experience (the top bar of the "T") married with some area of specialty (the vertical bar of the "T"). Thus, AIMS students work with students of all disciplines, are taught by faculty from all perspectives, and will have experience working with industry and non-profits on real-world projects.
For graduate students, we offer an innovative Graduate Certificate in Interactive Media Studies (which includes a fully-online option) as well as executive education workshops.
AIMS research includes topics such as e-commerce, computational art, digital humanities, visualization, rapid prototyping, game design, physical computing, web development, game development, game studies, design thinking, interaction design, user experience design, user interface design, usability, Internet and social media marketing, virtual and augmented reality, mobile computing, and mechatronics, just to name a few active areas of interest.
AIMS weaves hands-on experiential, team-based learning into as many courses as possible. All AIMS students participate in Armstrong Interactive, a client-based consulting capstone class, that delivers real interactive solutions to paying corporate clients. Past clients include Coca-Cola, P&G, Bank of America, Convergys, Cablevision, HP, Hulu, Cintas, Gensler, Weber-Shandwick, Cardinal Health, J Peterman, The Tibetan Government in Exile, and various startups.
The AIMS Difference
AIMS is special. The program has been nominated to be a Ohio Center of Excellence. AIMS' Game Design, Development, and Studies Center has consistently been ranked by Princeton Review to be one of the top 30 game programs in the United States. AIMS graduates are highly-sought after job candidates and have an exceptionally high job placement rate.
If you are a prospective student and would like to schedule some time to see our facilities and talk with our faculty, please contact us.

Fellow Unreliable Chia and I were talking about writing. I have finished the third draft of The Pawn of Isis, and my very kind first readers have been steadily getting feedback back to me, so I'm getting ready to revise. I have a couple of ways I revise. I have been using some of the methodology from Blueprint Your Best Seller by Stuart Horowitz. I really like the way that book makes you really look at scenes and evaluate them, center on a theme, and reorder and rewrite. It's a lot of work, but (re)writing is a lot of work, so there you go.
Then Chia asked me if I'd heard of Story Genius by Lisa Cron. No, I had not, I said. Chia said she was going to read it, but she had to take it back to the library. I said I'd look into it.
Already, based on some feedback, I have decided that the book may need another POV, due to some of the important stuff happening off stage. So I rolled up my sleeves and decided to add some new scenes. I realized I was just adding scenes, and not necessarily solving problems. That's when I wandered into Barnes and Noble, went to the writing section, and picked up Story Genius. I devoured the book over the next two days.
All writer advice works for different writers. I saw some less than favorable reviews on Goodreads, but I, on the other hand, liked it so well that I feel a bit like a zealot. Bear with me. This could help revitalize writing and revising for you, and might help you spend less time drafting. At least I hope so. Sometimes it takes me as many as 7-12 drafts to get a book right. I'm no Patrick Rothfuss, and I don't want to turn out a book a week, but I think it's got to go a bit faster if I want to publish regularly. I have hopes this might help me do this.
It's all about character desire and misbelief, and connecting the external plot struggles with the internal emotional struggles of your character. There's lots of good inventing advice, determining when to start the book, advice about writing the ending, working on scenes, so much good stuff.
I would advise you to go check it out yourselves. I find I like flipping back and forth as I use it, so you might want a paper copy. But if you are the kind of writer who really feels motivated by the emotional arc of story, and you want to reconnect with the fun of writing, this might be a good book for you. I can tell you I am now hungry to revise, and regret those days when I simply can't fit writing in. It's pretty heady to climb into the heads of your characters and their emotions. I had been getting bogged down in the wheres and why for of plot, and this is generating the plot according to emotions.
I can't say enough good things about this book, and I think I might owe Chia a drink or a fruit basket or something.

About this Research Topic
Reflex behaviors of the intestines such as patters of movement, regulation of bloodflow and fluid exchange across the mucosa are regulated by the enteric nervous system (ENS). The entire circuitry of the ENS is embedded in the gut wall and consists of aggregates of neurons and glia called enteric ganglia that are interconnected to form a network extending the length of the intestine. The basic neural circuits controlling basic intestinal reflexes are now well established. However, new data highlight the fact that neurons do not function in isolation and that bi-directional interactions between neurons and non-neuronal cells play a key role in modulating gut activity. These interactions are reshaping how we view the neural regulation of gut function and the pathogenesis of gastrointestinal disease.
This Research Topic focuses on interactions between neural and non-neuronal cells in the gastrointestinal tract. We welcome all types of submissions including: original research articles, review articles (including mini-reviews) and perspectives. We are particularly interested in submissions addressing interactions between enteric neurons and interstitial cell of Cajal, fibroblast-like cells, enteric glia, enteroendocrine cells, immune cells and the microbiome. We encourage submission of articles utilizing approaches that assess cell-cell interactions in rodent models and/or human tissue. This Topic will primary focus on how cell-cell interactions influence physiological gut functions. However, we also welcome submissions addressing how the interactions among neural and non-neuronal cells contribute to gastrointestinal diseases including, but not limited to, the inflammatory bowel diseases, irritable bowel syndrome, slow-transit constipation, necrotizing enterocolitis, diabetes and Parkinson's disease. Our goal is that this collection of articles will serve to enhance our understanding of the neural regulation of gut physiology and pathophysiology.
Important Note: All contributions to this Research Topic must be within the scope of the section and journal to which they are submitted, as defined in their mission statements. Frontiers reserves the right to guide an out-of-scope manuscript to a more suitable section or journal at any stage of peer review.

Actually, reminds me of some mental health "user-led" training I went on once, where the trainer arrived as "Dr Beverly Crusher" in full Star Trek uniform and proceeded to check us all out with her tri-corder.
Welcome Fathorse, nice to see you are in good spirits and top form for 2008, hows life at Manchester Uni, Glad u have had a good Christmas, santa brought me a 1TB removable harddrive for all the dodgy er music and vids I have downloaded and all my cam corder classics.
You know, I went to Macedonia and sat down with their government and negotiated opening up that corder.
The Biohazard watch uses an advanced color LCD display to simulate the effect you might see on Mr Spocks tri-corder or in many Science Fiction films.
The worst is yet to come, with national bankruptcy looming around the corder.

Regenerative Medicine Using Pregnancy Specific Biological Substances is an international attempt to bring researchers working on the potential uses of pregnancy specific biological substances in regenerative medicine, under one umbrella. More than 72 distinguished authors from five continents have contributed in the 40 chapters of the book. It will be a good reference source, not only for practicing clinicians, but also for those interested in research in immunotherapy; stem cell therapy; regenerative therapy and various specialities such as cardiology, neurosurgery and cardiothoracic surgery. This book brings together some of the important work that is being done along with unpublished observations that will help to shape the contours of future therapy in the field of modern regenerative medicine. It promises to be an eye-opener to the enormous potential of hitherto discarded material that had been so far considered as a pure biological waste. The book will have served its purpose if it acts as a stimulant to professionals and clinical scientists who can build on the knowledge and expand the curative potential of pregnancy-specific biological substances

Modern, hip, and cool with lounge music piping beckons this anchor at Baldwin Park on Main St. One block away from the spectacular lakeside promenade is this contemporary sushi restaurant. There is wrap around outdoor sidewalk style and lavish indoor seating. The interior is stark and very stylish with a floor to ceiling wine display.
Several years ago when this place first opened, that entire wall was a giant blank canvas. I was hoping that they would build something spectacular and they did not disappoint. The wine list back then was also very stark, not today. I am very encouraged that this sushi restaurant has embraced the wonderful world of wines. From the varied and balanced selections it is clear that they did not just accept a giant wine distributor name brand friends. Cheers! We choose a glass of Saarstein Riesling, which had a nice bouquet with hints of mineral and a glass of 2009 Cuvee de Blanc, Huguenot Cellar, Santa Ynez Valley, CA. (Grenache Blanc 33%, Sauvignon Blanc 33%, Gewurztraminer 33%, Love 1%) A clean crisp herby dry white blend that was ever so lightly sweet on the palate.
The menu features the regular suspects of rolls on a "sushi list", signature rolls, sashimi, nigiri, appetizers, soups, salads and main courses highlighting Korean and Japanese cuisines. Of course the endangered Chilean Seabass is on the menu. Not sure anyone pays attention to that anymore. I love this fish. But I have to take a stand. Wonder if it will ever come off the endangered list? Did I mention, I love Chilean Seabass? I am not a fan of the sushi list. There, I made my preference known. I believe a restaurant should have servers who are knowledgeable about the menu and be able to guide a guest in ordering. Not a guest marking on a piece of paper their order, why don't I walk it to the sushi chefs also. Maybe, I can pick it up from the sushi bar also. Okay, I know I am getting carried away.
On this visit with young hungry bellies to full, who are a little squirmish about sashimi we engaged with these choices:
Tempura shrimp and vegetables – were crisp, crunchy, and fresh.
Fried squid / sweet chili BBQ sauce – Nice coating on the squid, spring mix salad was fresh.
Jumbo lump crab cake / wilted spinach / roasted red pepper buerre blanc – ample fillers with enough crab meat, tender and flaky.
Phyllo wrapped shrimp / sweet chili sauce – presentation and idea sounds great. Shrimp itself cooked well, but the phyllo breaking apart and crumbling with each bite not so much.
Snow crab salad / tempura crunch wrapped with smoked salmon / eel sauce – Mayo to crab salad ratio well balanced, could not really feel the crunch, smoked salmon flavors were very light.
Coconut shrimp / mango / cream cheese topped with snow crab salad / eel sauce apricot glaze – well balanced and prevalent flavors. The mango and coconut stood out. Great!
Spicy crawfish / asparagus / wrapped with whitefish / Cajun mayo / set ablaze with a torch – no crawfish taste, just burnt mayo.
Spicy krab / crawfish / lobster / baked – nice ratio of seafood to mayo, no baked taste, red tobiko was a surprise.
Fresh tuna prepared "poki" style / sesame oil / shichimi / togarashi served in 4oz, 7oz, or 9oz portions – ordered medium heat, it was still too spicy. Middle of tuna was still very cold, pieces were unevenly cut, which lead to uneven heat.
Sweet garlic soy / sautéed onions – nice little tug and it was off the bone. Flavors were all present. Nice dish.
Ice Cream dipped in tempura batter with Raspberry sauce – nothing special on the ice cream nor the tempura batter, however, raspberry sauce was very tasty. Little chocolate sprinkles was a decadent surprise.
This restaurant has come a long way over the years. I am tempted to say that it has matured. Long gone is the ditsy "hostess", welcome to the personable, courteous team of greeters, servers, and food runners. Oh, a manger even came over and inquired if everything was okay. Swell! The sushi rice for the rolls were well balanced in acidity and texture. Although the menu was very safe maybe the interior space made up for the cool factor. Just a thought, a couple of adventurous items and this restaurant can really up its hip factor.

Wolf Wins, Blue Third at Cougar Invite
Oct. 11, 2003
PULLMAN, Wash. - The Washington State men's and women's teams won the dual competition at the Cougar Cross Country Invitational Saturday on the WSU Golf Course at Pullman, Wash.
Washington State men's team defeated teams from the University of Calgary, Eastern Washington, Gonzaga and Idaho while the women's team bested squads from Calgary, EWU and Gonzaga.
WSU junior Danny Wolf (Reno, Nev.) won the men's race with a time of 25 minutes, 59 seconds. Lanny Mann, running unattached, took second with WSU senior Ian Johnson (Spokane, Wash.) and junior Mike Heidt (Selah, Wash.) racing to third and fourth respectively. Johnson and Heidt were separated by just one-tenth of a second.
Cougar freshman Andrew Jones (Gillette, Wyo.) placed sixth followed by frosh teammate Matt Knoff (Pocatello, Idaho) ninth, senior Steve Barrus (Clovis, Calif.) 10th, and freshman Alex Grant (Bellingham, Wash.) 13th. Other Cougars not counting in team scoring junior Justin Ireland (Issaquah, Wash.) 15th, sophomore Reid Carrell (Spokane, Wash.) 20th, freshman Chris Williams (Federal Way, Wash.) 21st, and junior Jonathan Manthey finished 42nd.
'Danny and (Mann) were rolling. I think only one or two guys have broken 26 minutes on this course,' said WSU Cross Country Coach Jason Drake. 'So that's an indication of Danny's fitness, especially going out in the cold and as slow as he went out.'
'(Winning) was a little tougher this year because I started out a little slower,' explained Wolf. 'I was supposed to run as a team but I couldn't let the leader get away from me. I got a little too competitive.'
In the women's race, Calgary Track Club's Maria Zambrano won for the second year in a row with Shannon Slater from University of Calgary the first collegiate finisher and second overall.
WSU senior Anna Blue (Olympia, Wash.) placed third with a time of 23:15 on the 6,000m course. Juniors Ana Cabrera (Vancouver, Wash.) and Molly Bull (Oak Harbor, Wash.) took fourth and sixth respectively. Freshmen Karen DeMartini (Reno, Nev.), Natalie Smith (Bellingham, Wash.) and Katie Troy (Bellevue, Wash.) finished eighth, 11th, and 12th respectively. The Cougars final scorer, at 21st, place was sophomore Hailey Young (Kent, Wash.). Not counting in team scoring was freshman Grace Coulter (Bellingham, Wash.) in 27th.
'It was a good competition,' said Blue. 'From about the first 1,000 meters (Zambrano) took off. Coach told us that if somebody did that, to let them go.'
'(Zambrano) won a year ago so we knew Anna was going to be in a tough race up front with her,' explained Drake. 'Anna did what she set out to do and ran a good time. All of the other women ran faster than we thought they would, so that's good too.'
