A living legend in the field of machine learning largely responsible for its historical and current success, Vladimir Vapnik has shaped the way modern researchers address the challenges of machine learning and how the field is practiced every day in applications ranging from large computer systems such as Google and Facebook to next-generation smart devices. Vapnik, with colleague Alexey Chervonenkis, developed the fundamental basis of statistical learning theory, which is at the foundation of practically all machine-learning techniques. Vapnik established an approach to machine learning based on the principle of fitting available training data while balancing the complexity of the learned model (known as the Vapnik-Chervonenkis dimension). This work helped researchers to understand basic issues about the nature of learning in general, and about what it means for a model or a theory to be simple or complex. It has provided the mathematical foundations for the entire optimization-based approach to machine learning. Another of Vapnik's breakthroughs was the support vector machine (SVM) algorithm, which has become one of the most widely used techniques in machine learning. Building on Vapnik's statistical learning theory, this computationally efficient learning algorithm satisfies strong generalization guarantees. When combined with kernel functions, SVMs produce a highly flexible learning system for a wide range of data types and inductive biases, effectively using a linear-separator learning algorithm to perform well even for data requiring highly nonlinear separation boundaries. SVMs have been applied to a tremendous range of commercial, governmental, scientific, and academic problems, from spam and fraud detection, to the face detector in an iPhone, to supporting cutting-edge biological discoveries.
A member of the U.S. National Academy of Engineering and recipient of the Benjamin Franklin Medal (2012), Vapnik is a professor with the Department of Computer Science at Columbia University, New York, NY, USA, and a research consultant with Facebook AI Research, Menlo Park, CA, USA.
Christos H. Papadimitriou is a leader in providing an understanding of how computational complexity can be used as a tool for understanding limits and solving problems within the broader scientific community, pioneering connections and collaborations between computer science and other disciplines. Papadimitriou has been the key player in the development of the understanding of "NP total search problems," which are computational challenges where solutions are guaranteed to exist but may be hard to find. He has been very influential in developing algorithmic game theory, which involves the convergence of computer science and economic theory. His work on computing and determining the computational complexity of the Nash equilibrium has provided important insights for game theory and economics. He studied the algorithmic complexity of computing game-theoretic solutions to cooperative and noncooperative game scenarios, which has had important implications for economics and gauging the health of the Internet amid the risks caused by congestion. He defined the "price of anarchy," which provides a measure of the degree of inefficiency of equilibrium in a game, and is important for quantifying loss due to uncoordinated behavior of selfish agents within networks such as the Internet. Papadimitriou has also demonstrated how computational complexity can be applied to natural processes such as biology, describing the algorithmic aspects of protein structure and providing a mixability theory for the role of sex in evolution. His novels Turing and Logicomix have been very successful in reaching the broader public and exposing many people to some of the fundamental principles and ideas of mathematics and computer science.
An IEEE member and member of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences, the National Academy of Engineering, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and an ACM Fellow, Papadimitriou is the C. Lester Hogan Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science with the University of California, Berkeley, CA, USA.
A world-class innovator for over 30 years, James A. Gosling's development of the Java programming language in 1995 was a major milestone in computing that has had an immeasurable impact on computer science. Dr. Gosling combined the best ideas in programming languages with his own ideas to create the first widely deployed programming language featuring portability to allow transmission of code over the Internet from one computer to another for execution while still meeting security requirements. Its features include the portable "write once, run anywhere" byte-coded platform and libraries that makes use of a standard class file format that can be loaded and executed by any Java Virtual Machine; the robust and secure "sand box" approach; type-safe automatic storage management; just-in-time compilation; and platform scaling from cell phone to enterprise server. Used by approximately 9 million developers, Java is one of the most popular programming languages in history and can be found in servers, mobile phones, and the chips embedded in credit cards and identity badges. Dr. Gosling has also influenced software engineering methodology with important contributions during the 1980s. As a graduate student, he created one of the most widely used versions of the UNIX Emacs text editor. As a contributor to Carnegie Mellon's Andrew Project, he developed the first UNIX windows manager and one of the first modern, multiformat text editors that allowed placement of tables, pictures, and graphics in a document. This open-source architecture influenced the evolution of Microsoft Windows. Dr. Gosling has also impacted the world of embedded systems with his early work on the ISIS II satellite, a real-time specification for Java, and his current work on autonomous ocean-going robots.
A member of the US National Academy of Engineering and an Officer of the Order Canada (second-highest Canadian civilian honor), Dr. Gosling is chief software architect with Liquid Robotics, Redwood, CA, USA.
Cleve B. Moler is considered one of the most influential contributors to computational science and engineering for his development of the MATLAB high-level programming environment that changed the face of numerical computation and provided an indispensable tool for engineers worldwide. Dr. Moler developed MATLAB, which stands for "matrix laboratory," as a simple matrix calculator for student use in mathematical courses, but it soon found broader acceptance in engineering. MATLAB makes computing easier for scientists and engineers and increases productivity by allowing them to focus on solving the problem at hand without needing to write their own code to perform matrix computations. In 1984, Dr. Moler founded MathWorks with Jack Little to commercialize MATLAB. Today, MATLAB has over 1 million users representing universities, industry, and government worldwide. It is an important tool in industries including automotive, aerospace, communications, electronics, industrial automation, financial services, and computational biology. MATLAB is used at over 5,000 universities, and it is often the first programming language taught to science and engineering students. Other impactful contributions from Dr. Moler include the LINPACK and EISPACK linear algebra software libraries for computation involving matrices, which he helped develop during the 1970s. LINPACK and EISPACK gave scientists the ability to solve complex problems without requiring them to be experts in the algorithms and software. The LINPACK Benchmark, used to rank the world's fastest supercomputers, is named after the LINPACK software library. Dr. Moler also contributed to linear algebra during the 1960s by writing reliable state-of-the-art Fortran subroutines for matrix computations and creating (with Pete Stewart) the QZ algorithm for the generalized eigenvalue problem prevalent in many applications.
A member of the U.S. National Academy of Engineering and recipient of IEEE Computer Society Pioneer Award (2012), Dr. Moler is currently chief mathematician with MathWorks, Natick, MA, USA.
Jack D. Dennis' early development and continued exploration of parallel computing architectures have yielded principles for creating systems with increased interactivity and sharing ability and have important implications for today's multicore processors. With over 50 years of research, Dr. Dennis was one of the earliest advocates of addressing computer architectures and programming together for parallel computing. Parallelism involves performance of many calculations simultaneously using two or more processors to cooperatively solve a problem and has become an essential aspect of high-performance computing. Dr. Dennis developed principles for executing programs securely in parallel environments, introducing the concepts of capability, protected domains, object lists, and protected call and return. Dr. Dennis' dataflow concept remains a promising approach for future computer system architecture. In dataflow computation, individual instructions or groups of instructions known as codelets can be executed as soon as data become available. The dataflow graph models and execution algorithms developed by Dr. Dennis and his group at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology from the late 1960s through the 1980s inspired universities and research groups around the world to undertake dataflow projects. Dr. Dennis developed the VAL language for parallel computation, which evolved into the SISAL programming language. His work has influenced several generations of computer architects and compiler writers and is currently shaping new approaches to the architecture and programming of massively parallel computer systems.
An IEEE Fellow, Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) Fellow, and a member of the U.S. National Academy of Engineering, Dr. Dennis' awards include the IEEE/ACM Eckhert-Mauchly Award (1984) and induction to the SOSP Hall of Fame. Dr. Dennis is Professor Emeritus with MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, Cambridge, MA, USA.
Edward J. McCluskey provided the foundation for the design automation methods that make production of today's complex computer chips possible. Credited with helping bridge the gap between computer science and electrical engineering to establish computer engineering as a discipline of its own, Dr. McCluskey has contributed techniques and concepts essential to computer design, testing, and reliability for over 50 years. He developed the Quine-McCluskey algorithm as the first systematic method to create a minimized two-level logic representation of a digital circuit. Computer scientists and engineers learn this algorithm as the foundation for logic optimization. It continues to be used in numerous design automation tools and has influenced practically all digital chips in use today. Dr. McCluskey also developed the modern theory of hazards in logic networks and formulated the operating modes of sequential circuits, which defined techniques for designing high-speed circuits. Dr. McCluskey was also an early pioneer of digital testing methods, and his vision continues to impact the field. He demonstrated that test metrics rather than fault models were the key to obtaining high test quality, which helped change the way digital testing is conducted. He formulated the concept of algebraic properties of fault models and developed methods using the concept to reduce test sets. This work has been incorporated into today's automatic test pattern generation and fault simulation tools. Dr. McCluskey also developed very low-voltage testing as a cost-effective alternative to burn-in methods for detecting weak chips. Dr. McCluskey has also made important contributions to fault-tolerant computing for applications where failure is not an option.
An IEEE Life Fellow, Dr. McCluskey is Professor Emeritus of the departments of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at Stanford University, Calif.
Professor Sir Tony Hoare has established the foundation of much that is taken for granted today in software design. A major portion of Hoare's 50-plus-year scientific career has been devoted to developing the theoretical underpinnings of software to the point where its creation becomes a true engineering field. His work also has had practical impact, with application to commercial software development projects involving database management systems for the telecommunications industry and security and safety applications in the medical, transportation, and nuclear power industries. Hoare invented the Quicksort sorting algorithm in 1960, which has been widely studied and implemented in modern computers. He also led a team during the 1960s that developed a successful early compiler for the ALGOL 60 high-level language. His compiler checked all array subscripts at run-time, which is a precaution now common in modern object-oriented languages. Rejecting shared variable interaction, he proposed "communicating sequential processes" to address concurrency issues among programs. This bold step was very influential and saw application in the U.S. Department of Defense's Ada language. It was also the inspiration for the Occam programming language used in the transputer microprocessor developed during the 1980s for parallel computing. More recent work from Hoare involves working on the theory that would underpin a verification toolset and encouraging computer scientists to work together toward its achievement.
A Fellow of the U.K. Royal Academy of Engineering and a foreign associate of the U.S. National Academy of Engineering, he is currently a principal researcher with Microsoft Research Ltd., Cambridge, U.K.
Through pioneering research and wide-reaching textbooks, John Hopcroft and Jeffrey D. Ullman are known as two of the most influential figures responsible for shaping the field of computer science. These giants of computer science first met in 1964 when Dr. Ullman took Dr. Hopcroft's automata theory course at Princeton University. Together, they wrote the book on automata theory and formal languages that was used by universities around the world to educate the first generation of computer scientists, Formal Languages and Their Relation to Automata. Its successor, Automata Theory, Languages, and Computation, is still in use today.
Dr. Hopcroft is considered one of only a handful of computer scientists who created the discipline of theoretical computer science, unifying automata theory and formal languages during the late 1960s. He also determined that computer programming could be synthesized into a theory of algorithms and that these algorithms could be evaluated by their asymptotic complexity. This led to a set of design principles that could be used to design optimal algorithms. An IEEE Life Fellow, Dr. Hopcroft is also a member of the National Academy of Sciences and the National Academy of Engineering. He is currently the IBM Professor of Engineering and Applied Mathematics at Cornell University, Ithaca, N.Y.
Dr. Ullman also focused on compiler technology and code optimization, writing the definitive book on compiler technology (Principles of Compiler Design, Addison-Wesley, 1977) with Aho. In the late 1970s Dr. Ullman's interests turned to database systems and he became known as one of the founders of database theory. Dr. Ullman is a member of the National Academy of Engineering and is currently the Stanford W. Ascherman Professor of Computer Science (Emeritus) at Stanford University, Calif., and currently heads Gradiance Corporation, Stanford, which he founded to provide online homework and programming-lab support for college students.
Susan L. Graham's seminal contributions and leadership have greatly influenced software development and high-performance computing. Together with her students, Dr. Graham's programming language implementation innovations include a sophisticated pattern-matching algorithm for generating machine code for high-level languages, which is important for today's processors, and an important and useful elimination-style algorithm for flow analysis. She introduced automatic error message generation as a useful tool, pointing the field in a new direction; as a result IBM has used automatic error message generation in several of its production compilers. She and her students developed the "gprof" profiling tool for analyzing the execution efficiency of programs and new algorithms for debugging programs. She led the development of the Berkeley Pascal compiler and the distribution of and extensions of BSD Unix. Dr. Graham was also the co-creator of the Titanium language and system, which is used to develop parallel programs for scientific applications.
Dr. Graham has served on the Presidential Information Technology Advisory Committee, where she was actively involved in influencing the U.S. Congress to bolster information technology spending. She co-chaired the National Research Council's Future of Supercomputing committee. She was the chief computer scientist for the National Partnership for Advanced Computational Infrastructure, ensuring that the best computer science results were transferred into important computation-based science applications. She participates in a variety of science and engineering advisory groups.
Her current research interest is on developing interactive language-aware tools for creating and maintaining software. An IEEE member, Dr. Graham is currently the Pehong Chen Distinguished Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Emerita and a professor in the Graduate School at the University of California, Berkeley.
Leslie Lamport's pioneering work in distributed and concurrent algorithms has improved numerous consumer and industrial computing systems. The result of his work can be found in multi-processor technology such as very-large-scale-integration (VLSI) semiconductors and multi-computer networks used in aircraft control systems. Since 2001 he has been at the Microsoft Research Silicon Valley Center, where he is a principal researcher. Prior to that, Dr. Lamport spent 16 years as a researcher at Digital Equipment Corporation (later Compaq Corporation). There he developed the Temporal Logic of Actions (TLA) system, a toolset for mechanical verification that is used to describe the behaviors of concurrent systems. Dr. Lamport developed several well-known concurrent and distributed algorithms, including solutions for Byzantine Fault Tolerance. The algorithm is a method of prevention against Byzantine Failure, in which a component of a system behaves erroneously while failing to behave consistently when interacting with multiple other components in the system. During his career, he has authored or co-authored nearly 150 publications on concurrent and distributed computing and their applications. One of his most notable papers, "Time, Clocks, and the Ordering of Events in a Distributed System," still ranks as one of the most important and influential papers in computer science. He is a past recipient of the IEEE Emanuel R. Piore Award, the Edsger W. Dijkstra Prize in Distributed Computing and the influential paper award at the Principles of Distributed Computing Conference. Dr. Lamport holds a bachelor's degree from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, as well as a masters and doctorate from Brandeis University, Waltham, Massachusetts.
For over 35 years, Charles P. Thacker has led innovation in the area of distributed personal computing. He is one of the primary forces behind the introduction of the modern-day PC. While working at the Xerox Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) as a research fellow from 1970 to 1983, he served as the principal designer for the Alto personal computer system, widely considered the prototype for both workstations and windowed personal computers. Additionally, he revolutionized the computing industry as one of the co-inventors of the Ethernet local area network.
Mr. Thacker was a corporate consultant engineer at the Digital Equipment Systems Research Center (DEC SRC) from 1983 to 1997, and developed Firefly, one of the first multiprocessor workstation systems.
Since 1997, he has held the position of Technical Fellow at Microsoft Corporation, where he designed and implemented major parts of the prototype for the Tablet PC, including portions of its handwriting-recognition system. His prototype is also the basis for tablet PCs now being sold by several computer manufacturers.
An IEEE Member, Thacker holds a bachelor's degree in Physics from the University of California, Berkeley, and an honorary doctorate from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich. He is a fellow of the ACM, a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and a member of the National Academy of Engineering, which presented him with the 2004 Charles Stark Draper Prize, along with Alan C. Kay, Butler W. Lampson and Robert W. Taylor for development of the first networked distributed personal computer system.P.
Dr. Ed Catmull, president and co-founder of Pixar Animation Studios, has made groundbreaking contributions to the field of computer graphics in modeling, animation and rendering that have revolutionized the way live-action and animated motion pictures are created. Dr. Catmull is one of the architects of the RenderMan® software product utilized to create animated films such as Pixar's Toy Story and Finding Nemo and special effects in live-action films.
In 1974, while studying physics and computer science at University of Utah, Dr. Catmull's pioneering animation of a human hand was incorporated into the first movie to use 3D computer graphics. Through his research, he made four key computer graphics discoveries: Z-buffering, texture mapping, subdivision surface, and the fast rendering ofbicubic patches. Prior to Pixar, he was vice president of the computer division of Lucasfilm Ltd.
Dr. Catmull has been honored for his work with four Scientific and Technical Engineering awards, including an Oscar® from The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. In 1993 he was honored with the Steven A. Coons Award, the highest achievement in the computer graphics field, for his lifetime contributions.
Dr. Catmull is a member of the IEEE and the IEEE Computer Society, the U.S. National Academy of Engineering and The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
A founder and chief technology officer of several successful corporations and an adjunct professor at MIT, Dr. Michael Stonebraker made critically important contributions to relational database software, inventing many of the architectures and strategies that are the foundation of today's multi-billion-dollar-a-year database software industry. Virtually all business computing applications - from accounting, inventory and shipping to point- of-sale, online commerce, human resources and computer-aided design - manage data using relational database systems that can be traced to his work.
His earliest contributions were as the leader of the groundbreaking INGRES project. It applied relational theory to high-performance, data management software systems by allowing users to specify queries that describe desired data without specifying programs to find it. The relational systems he developed,along with those of the System R project from IBM, revolutionized database systems.
His next creation, POSTGRES, was an object-relational database that extended the relational model with abstract data types,including user-defined operators and procedures. It also allowed database systems to provide significantly better intelligence and efficiency in commercial, administrative and scientific applications. The types of functionality that Dr. Stonebraker pioneered in POSTGRES are now used in database systems worldwide.
In recent years, Dr.Stonebraker applied economic computing paradigms to federated data management. Currently, he is applying database concepts to high performance stream processing applications. In addition to his current role at MIT, Dr. Stonebraker founded StreamBase Systems in 2003 and serves as the company's chief technology officer. StreamBase has developed a new software platform designed to process real-time streaming data.
A pioneer in object-oriented programming, Dr. Barbara H. Liskov is perhaps best known for her seminal work on data abstraction, a fundamental tool for organizing programs. Her research in the early 1970s led to the design and implementation of CLU, the first programming language to support data abstraction. Since 1975, every important programming language, including Java, has borrowed ideas from CLU. Dr. Liskov's other extraordinary contributions include the Venus operating system, the Argus distributed programming language and system and the Thor system for robust replicated storage of persistent objects. Argus was a groundbreaking high-level programming language used to support implementation of distributed programs that run on computers connected by a network, such as the Internet. Her recent efforts have concentrated on language-based security and on making Byzantine fault tolerance practical.
Dr. Liskov is the Ford Professor of Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, Massachusetts, where she has taught since 1972. In 2001, she became the associate head for computer science in the electrical engineering and computer science department. In the 1960s, Professor Liskov held positions at the Mitre Corporation
in Bedford, Massachusetts, Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and Stanford University in Palo Alto, California.
A member of the IEEE and the U.S. National Academy of Engineering, Dr. Liskov is a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and of the Association for Computing Machinery. She has written three books including, 'Abstraction and Specification in Program Development,' as well as more than 100 technical papers.
Alfred Aho's many contributions to computer science as a researcher, manager and educator demonstrate an elegant balance of theory and practice. His innovative research in formal languages and compiler theory led to key algorithms for modern compilers and string-pattern matching tools. His algorithms are used in widely deployed compiler construction tools like YACC and LEX, which have been used to design many computer programming languages.
Dr. Aho conducted research at Bell Labs in Murray Hill, N.J., from 1967-1991. During that time, he developed efficient algorithms for textprocessing applications and programming language translation. His codegeneration algorithms influenced the design of retargetable C compilers, which facilitated the porting of the UNIX operating system from minicomputers to supercomputers. He worked at Bellcore in Murray Hill, N.J., from 1991-1995 and then became a professor of computer science at Columbia University in New York. He later joined Lucent Technologies in Murray Hill, N.J., as an associate research vice president and vice president of computing sciences research. In 2002, he returned to Columbia as a professor of computer science and is chair of the Computer Science Department.
Dr. Aho co-wrote several of computer science's most used textbooks including The Design and Analysis of Computer Algorithms; Compilers: Principles, Techniques, and Tools; and The AWK Programming Language. He has served on many professional committees including the U.S.
National Research Council's Committee on Information Technology Literacy and the Advisory Committee of the National Science Foundation Computer and Information Science and Engineering Directorate. From 1992-1994 he also was editor of the Proceedings of the IEEE.
A member of the U.S. National Academy of Engineering, Dr. Aho is a Fellow of the IEEE, Association for Computing Machinery, Bell Labs, and the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
When Ole-Johan Dahl and Kristen Nygaard created the Simula languages in the 1960s at the Norwegian Computing Center, they introduced a new way of modeling and programming complex tasks. Object-oriented programming is now dominant in system development, and is everywhere part of the computer science curricula, as are languages built on OOP concepts, such as Smalltalk, C++, Eiffel and Java.
Kristen Nygaard analyzed complex problems by computer simulation, requiring interaction between many very dissimilar components. He saw the need for a description language that could be used to comprehend, describe and communicate complex systems, and also make it possible for computers to execute models of what had been described.
Ole-Johan Dahl joined Kristen Nygaard at the NCC. They designed the Simula concepts and language together, and Dahl carried out the difficult task of writing the program that translated descriptions into computer instructions. In 1968Dahl became the University of Oslo's first computer science professor and built its Informatics Department. Later he has contributed to the theory of proving correctness of programs. Nygaard continued OOP, but also became the driving force in the "Scandinavian school of system development." His efforts now are aimed at improving the teaching and conceptual platform for computer science.Dahl and Nygaard are Professors Emeriti at the University of Oslo. They both have been named Commander of the Orderof Saint Olav by the King of Norway and Honorary Fellows ofthe Object Management Group, have received the Norwegian Rosing Prize and the 2001 ACM A.M. Turing Award.
Combining a deep understanding of computer-science theory with practical implementation, Butler Lampson has contributed to a remarkable range of systems that make computing as we know it today possible.
As a member of the legendary Computer Science Laboratory of the Xerox Palo Alto Research Center, Dr. Lampson's work laid much of the foundation for today's local area networks, client-server systems, laser printers, and editors such as Microsoft Word. He was instrumental to the group's many breakthroughs, including the Xerox Alto and its successor, the Dorado, which proved that an IBM 370-168 class computer could be packaged to fit in an office. He helped design Interpress, a precursor to Adobe's Postscript language. He also has been a major contributor to the design and implementation of Mesa, Cedar, and Modula 2+ computer programming languages. This series of designs has influenced the structure of the Java programming language.
One of the designers of the SDS 940 timesharing system, Dr. Lampson was a pioneer in creating a commercial timesharing system that allowed user programming in machine language. Also a leader in computer security, he collaborated in the design of a global naming and authentication service that guided the structure for the OSF/DCE naming and authentication facilities.
Butler Lampson was born on 23 December 1943, in Washington, DC. He obtained an AB in Physics from Harvard University in 1964, and a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from the University of California at Berkeley in 1967. Currently, he is a Distinguished Engineer at Microsoft and an Adjunct Professor at MIT.
Dr. Lampson holds 24 patents on networks, security, raster printing, and transaction processing, and has published 64 papers. He is a member of the National Academy of Engineering and a Fellow of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. He holds honorary ScD's from the Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule, Zürich, and the University of Bologna. He received the ACM's Software Systems Award in 1984 for his work on the Alto, the IEEE Computer Pioneer Award in 1996, the National Computer Systems Security Award in 1998, and the Turing Award in 1992.

* the above is my new favorite breakfast of one egg fried in olive oil served on toasted cinnamon wheat bread
*Jeff makes this for me a few times a week
*up there when I was typing "fried", I first accidentally typed "friend" which I think says something about me
*I love the new bread we buy at Publix (above) that only has like 6 ingredients: whole wheat flour, water, honey, raisins, salt and cinnamon
*we've been trying to buy foods with fewer ingredients, as in all natural if we can help it
* it's hard but I feel good knowing what I'm eating
*Juliana's senior prom was last week and I took lots of pictures that I'll share soon
*her HS graduation is the evening I get back from quilt market, and I am happily occupied doing quilt market things instead of crying about her HS graduation
*I just barely got through prom photos without crying
*I'm saving the prom crying for when we can do that together here over the photos
*I'm hoping you're game for that
*I gave up diet coke and any sodas at the beginning of the year after drinking them since I was like 14, and I haven't fallen off the wagon once, and I don't even crave it anymore
*I do drink Perrier now and that is pricey
*the kids were out of school all last week due to how many schools have been cleaning up flood damage
*so all week we were flooded with children rather than getting quilt market prep done
*I was ahead of schedule
*after the kid flood I got behind schedule
*I'd say now I'm right on, but this post might push me 15 minutes behind
*I keep having to find the asterisk key and that makes me type s*l*o*w
*there are houses just a street or two from us that have just been devastated by the flood
*I finally muscled up the courage to go running on my regular route and passed house after house that had tons of ruined belongings pulled out to the road waiting to be hauled off
*I am trying to figure out a way to help flood victims and I am thinking about beginning an effort to make some quilts for families who lost everything
*holler if you're with me, I could use some seamstresses/quilters
*Isabela wrote me a beautiful note for Mother's Day about why she loves me

*Jeff and I went to Verizon today to try and buy the Droid for me but they don't have any available until June
*that made me sad
*I wanted options
*Verizon girl had too many but none of them made me happy
*I asked questions about simple things and Verizon girl gave me not simple answers but more like paragraphs of words from pamphlets
*I began another question with let me ask you a simple question, and then she excused herself to go get some more information
*Upon returning, she replied well I have one option for you but its not really an option
*I am not kidding
*I can't remember what I said to her after that but Jeff thinks maybe I shouldn't have a tall black before going into the Verizon store to ask questions
*people get the impression that I am sweet
*Jeff would like to talk to you about that
*I want to thank Kathy, Beth, and Blair for writing such nice reviews of Handmade Beginnings

Hubby & I spent the weekend there helping members of our old church clean up. Talk about devastation! Great idea to do the quilt thing. Please do count me in.
ReplyDeleteAlright, I had to give it a moment's thought, but I AM in on making quilts to benefit the flood victims. In fact, I'd be crazy NOT to, because stitching for good is totally my goal. And, I love your fabrics. And, you're hilarious. So, how will this work? I hope you can provide the fabric ;)
ReplyDelete*I'm in also on the sewing for the flood victims
*try another Verizon store. They aren't all the same.
*Try shopping Verizon online. They sometimes have better options
*Try Costco for Verizon options
Sorry. I've been a Verizon customer for a long time and found I just really had to shop around until I found the Verizon store/dealer who cared about me and not just commissions. . . .
*Have a blast at Market
*Hang in there on the graduation thing
*Seems from the moment kids are born they are changing and we are watching them grow to leave us
*Your kids will cherish all that you are and all that you do and have done for themLOL... there were so many parts of this post I could relate to... from trying to eat simpler and quitting soda (just thinking about that this morning) and people thinking I'm sweet when I'm really not to what can be done to help the flood victims (thinking about donating artwork for a charity auction posted on FB if I didn't already miss the deadline). What if you used your quilts for a charity auction to raise funds? Just a thought!
http://www.modachromehome.comToo funny.
I'm with you on the soda thing.
I gave up soda as a 2009 New Year's resolution and it must be the ONLY ONE I've ever kept.
I can not even take a sip of soda it is so awful. How does that happen, I loved soda. Trust me, you will go from not missing it to not being able to drink it. And since you mentioned you were trying to eat more healthy...this is a huge step in the right direction. Yeah for you!verizon makes me want to cry.
i feel your pain.
what else is good at Publix as far as foods with less ingredients? i'm on the same mission. i think i need to buy some of that bread.
quilt market sounds like heavven and i want to go there.
your entire post cracks me up.
i would like to help with the flood relief quilting.
likelaughter at gmail dot comI'm not a quilter-but I would love to aid in your efforts.
I gave up "big business" soda 1 1/2 years ago. I love Dr. Brown's Diet Root Beer. SYFO water has no sodium and is my alternative to my favorite Pelligrino.
I am done with Verizon. I've switched to Credo Mobile. Enough choice for my taste, and I can focus my efforts on the causes they support.Thanks for posting about flood relief. Nashville is my hometown, my family is in Williamson county so I am IN!
My best friend, whose baby is due TODAY, had flood damage in her living/sewing room. They were not sure if they'd be bringing a baby home to a house with a floor or not; thankfully it was fixed over the weekend. They are much better off than many, but what a crummy time to welcome a baby to Music City!Apple cider vinegar + water + honey has many health benefits, is slightly effervescent, and crazy cheap. It tastes very much like Kombucha. I've read that it is especially beneficial in the am, first thing. Good luck with the phone. I have an equally possessed Blackberry with an equally helpful Sprint representative. I'm pretty sure that if landlines weren't practically defunct, we'd all be better off to go back to them...

I quit drinking soft drinks a couple of weeks ago. I've been drinking St. Croix sparkling water. The Harris Teeter here has it and it is quite often "buy one get one." The lime is good and if I get the plain I just plop in a slice of fresh lime. I have absolutely no craving for soft drinks anymore! Yay!
ReplyDelete I love the bullet post - I think most bloggers are afraid of doing them.
That being said - congrats on the diet coke... I gave up pepsi this year... I haven't fallen off the wagon but man, I still want it every day. (switched to coffee - less crap in it).
I'm all for some sewing for flood victims... rally us up! :)-I'd be down to help with piecing quilt tops for flood victims
-I don't have a long or mid arm tho, so might be faster to have someone else do quilting
-Speaking of faster, this little dash doesn't require use of the Shift key and is quite easy to find; perhaps another option for next bullet post?
-I am amazed that you were able to give up Diet Coke. I...just...can't...
-Have fun at Market! I hope to make it one of these years. Preferably as a totally famous designer or something. ;)
-Email me about flood victim quilts if you like: email@example.com post made me laugh, especially about the Verizon girl.
When you mentioned about the flooding in your area and wanting to possibly make some quilts, I thought that a great idea, as when one loses everything to such a tragedy it would be wonderful to have true homespun comfort from a kind neighbor. I remember years ago we drove up to the McKenzie River area to stay in a cabin and play in the snow. One evening while there a neighboring house had caught fire. The lady of the house was out at the time, but when she returned home to see what had happened to her house she collapsed and was placed in an ambulance to recover. We walked over with the very first quilt I made and matching pillow as they were in my car. Though distraught over her loss, she accepted with thanks our offerings of comfort, and then we left. The following year we returned to the area for another visit to our favorite cabin and found that a lovely new home had been built in place of the burned house. It gave me comfort to think that a little quilt would have brought a new beginning after such a great loss for a family. So give a holler if you need some help with your comfort quilt project.La Croix sparkling water is pretty good. I don't know that anything can really equal Perrier but I asked my Publix to please order the Grapefruit(pommelmousse) La Croix and they have started stocking it and it's a huge seller, and now I noticed they are also stocking the Grapefruit Perrier.
Being a transplanted Tennessean(I grew up in Memphis) I am broken hearted at what has happened to Nashville.
I bought Seams To Me yesterday and am looking forward to trying so many of the projects. I'm a selftaught sewer so I'll be figuring out things as I go along but I wanted to say thank you for such a wonderful project book.This was GREAT!! So funny! I like your bullets for breakfast! Best of luck getting caught up for quilt market, and can't wait to see the prom pics. Haven't made a quilt in my life, unless you count the off-kilter one I made when I was 8 for my doll, so can't help in that area, but think it's a great idea for the flood victims. Anything to brighten their day. My heart is with them.
ReplyDeleteYou are the coolest chic I know. How is it you have a child getting ready to graduate high school? You look SO young and I believe you are SO young. I like the bullet where you say, "People think I'm nice, but Jeff has something to say about that." Wouldn't all of our husbands/fiance's say that??? LOL!
ReplyDelete* I'm a lurker but I just had to comment today
* I love the style of this post!
* Can't wait to see prom photos so I can live vicariously through them (my son didn't go to his this year)
* I feel for the flood victims
* I would help you sew but I think my skills would make the people cry
* I thought you were sweet - keep us in the dark here on the blog please : )
* just kidding - be yourself!Ah,cell phones. They are as frustrating as wireless printers that don't work. I had a wonderful day too. I got to talk with both of our daughters who live in Texas. We just moved from TX to MI (boo hoo for me!) because of a corporate transfer. I keep telling myself this is temporary and that we'll be back home soon. I'm in for sewing quilts to help the Nashville citizens who lost all. Just say the word...
ReplyDeleteHi! I just had to chirp in here about the Verizon phones. :) You should really check out the Droid Eris! My husband installed the 2.1 interface (I think that's the right terminology) on my phone... and now it's almost identical to his Incredible. I love, love, LOVE my new phone!!! The turn by turn navigation ROCKS, I download any music I can think of for FREE, & it does a million other things. There are instructions online on how to reprogram the phone & it completely won me over. Now I'm thrilled with my phone... and it cost under $30 with my new every 2 plan. :)
ReplyDeletea. Your writing makes me smile! thank you.
b. I have a yummy Perrier substitution for you (my whole family is hooked on it - which can be annoying when you are buying and squeezing for 5 and also why I buy our limes at Costco) - so here it is - hope you like limes...squeeze one lime over ice and add seltzer water. Simple and fresh. And, if you happen to be near the Gin and some accidently flies into your glass, who would know?No. 1- Ditch Verizon, pay the fee, buy the Iphone and At&T. You'll never look back and you'll be happy.
2. We lived in Brentwood from 87-94 and the one of the saddest times of my life was moving back north. I still keep in touch with all my friends, and if you need/want quilts for people down there I'm game. email@example.com judy sebastianyes to flood quilting! i did a community quilt with friends and relatives when my friend's 91 y/o grandma lost her house in the tornadoes in iowa in 2008 (http://www.flickr.com/photos/lilybeth29/2636043316/in/set-72157611384635408/). great fun! just to be fair, that's not the best photo of the quilt, but it was scrappily delicious. :)
ReplyDelete* Love the stream of conscious bullets
* Sounds like the inside of my head most days
* Read Kathy and Blair's review
* Ordered book
* Shipping confirmed
* Expect Wednesday
* May holler at the UPS man if its not here
* You are in the south....
* We are from the south...they don't make sweet tea here (Seattle)
* We make slightly sweet decaf ice tea with a lime
* drink it, about a gallon a day
* my ice maker barely makes enough ice to support this habit
* maybe you'll be lucky and have your egg/raisin toast for breakfast
* have a lovely day!Laptop Battery

NOW JACKSON ACCUSED OF KILLING AN OLD LADY: The family of Manuela Gomez Ruiz are linking Michael Jackson's "illness" to the death of the 74 year old. Although Emergency Room staff had decided Jackson was fit enough to go home when he arrived on February 15th, Manuela was later moved from the primary trauma room to make room for Jacko. As she was moved, she had to be taken off a machine ventilator, and until a new room was found for her, her breathing had to be assisted by a hand pump. They wouldn't have done that to the Pope, would they? Ruiz went on to have two further heart attacks during the day, and died later. Her family, naturally, aren't pleased:
Maria Elena Ortiz, the ailing woman's daughter, said she was in the room when Jackson came in. She was also present when her mother was moved and objected.
"Why does she have to be moved if he's coming in for a stomach flu?" Ortiz said. "I said, 'My mother just had a heart attack and I think it's more critical than a stomach flu.' They didn't say anything."
No one knows if moving Ruiz added to her trauma, but family members said they were told her heart was functioning at 30 percent and other organs were failing. But they say the chaos caused by Jackson's arrival distracted staff, and robbed them of precious time with their mother and grandmother as she died.
When Ruiz was moved to a smaller room, the family says equipment had to be crammed into the room. They also were limited to two visitors at a time. Once those visitors were in the room they could not leave and let other family members in because the hospital restricted movement in the hallways after Jackson arrived, the family says.
"This was the last time we might be able to talk with our grandma. They took that from us," said Marcos Meraz, one of Ruiz's grandsons.
The family are suing Jackson and the hospital, suggesting that someone who apparently had stomach flu shouldn't have been given priority over a heart attack case.
Jackson's publicist isn't happy, either; he's angry that ABC are covering the story:
"Michael Jackson sends his condolences to the family of the deceased. However, it is outrageous that Michael Jackson's name would be invoked into a situation of which he had no authority or control. It appears that ABC is deliberate in its attempt to circumvent Michael Jackson from receiving a fair trial."
And let's not forget, although he walked in and ER staff thought he was well enough to go home as soon as he arrived, Jacko was really ill. He was kept in the hospital, and if you look here at his arrival at court on Tuesday when he'd just got well enough to play out again, you can see just how ill he was:

Subject | Re: [Schema Refactoring] Serious side effect... |
Date | Mon, 23 Nov 2009 09:10:17 GMT |
Hi Emmanuel, I think you're right. It's definitely a better idea. You probably have a lot of objects of the original registry in use in other classes or data structures. Swapping registries means updating all the schema objects values contained in the original registry which is kind of unnecessary because most of these objects have no been modified at all. So I think it definitely makes sense. Especially when i have in mind the use the schema manager to rewrite the schema editor plugin for Studio. Using the registry swap would force us to do a lot of refresh in the UI for almost nothing.

SJVC's Aviation college — located inside the Fresno – Yosemite International Airport — has been training students and providing the aviation industry with quality graduates for more than 20 years.
Conveniently located near both the 168 and 180, our Aviation campus works hard to make sure students know that they are more than another face in the crowd. Our new students quickly learn that they are now part of a family – the SJVC family.
At SJVC's Aviation campus, students have the opportunity to participate in a variety of clubs and events, including:
In the Aircraft Maintenance program, students have the opportunity to work on both the body of aircraft and engines of all types and sizes. Equipment includes a model-sized jet engine called JetCat. With the JetCat, students get to run an actual jet engine and use real-time diagnostic readouts to troubleshoot the engine's systems.
Our aircraft mechanic students also learn about electricity, fuel metering systems and sheet metal structures, in addition to hands-on training with propeller, turbine and jet engine systems.

Our Devices Have Revived The Living Room
The TV has once again become the focal point of the living room, but only if there are mobile devices at hand.
A new report from U.K. media and telecom watchdog, Ofcom, says British families are once again gathering in the living room to watch TV. According to the study, 91% of U.K. adults watch TV on the main set each week, up from 88% in 2002. But, our second-screen devices are making their way into the living room, as well, competing for our attention and complementing our viewing experiences. Most people are using their second screen to communicate with their friends via instant message or social media while keeping one eye on the TV.
And savvy TV producers have already wised up to this, as they work with the social networks and clever tech firms like Shazam, which is eyeing a move from audio to the visual, with a canny eye on how to monetize it. The problem, however, is proving a little stickier for more traditional advertisers.
The report threw up some interesting data, and introduced two new phrases to Britain: media stacking and media meshing.
- The number of five to 15-year-olds with TVs in their bedrooms has decreased, from 69% in 2007 to 52% in 2013.
- 49% of people use their mobile devices while watching TV.
- 25% share their TV intake via their phone, text, and social networks.
- Households prefer to have one large TV in the sitting room rather than several smaller ones dotted about the house.

Wet carpet can be a perfect breeding ground for mold, especially if the air is humid and the water remains in place longer than 48 hours. It's important to act quickly in removing moisture from the carpet fibers. Smaller areas drenched by a dropped cup of water can be dried quickly with an absorbent towel, but large or entire sections of a room require multiple drying methods. Removing as much water as possible on the first day of the incident will reduce the chances that mold spores will grow.
Soak up excess water with towels. Open the towels completely, and lay them around the wet sections of the carpeting. Press down with your hands or feet to absorb the water. Replace the towels as they become saturated with water. Keep a bucket nearby to store the towels or to wring the water out so you don't drip water around other areas of the room.
Make sure your hands are dry and plug in the wet-dry vacuum. Set it to "Dry," and move it around the wet carpeting. Go over the damp carpeting multiple times in slow, straight lines. Empty the vacuum's canister as needed.
Open windows throughout the floor and in the room with the wet carpeting to provide a cross breeze. If the air outside is humid, keep the windows closed and run a window air conditioner, if one is in the room, or turn on the central air to reduce the humidity.
Plug in fans and position them in the doorway of the room or on dry areas of the floor in the direction of the wet carpet. Plug in a dehumidifier to suck in the moisture from the room. Empty the dehumidifier's water-collection canister as needed.
Sprinkle baking soda generously over the carpeting and allow it to sit for 30 minutes to absorb any remaining liquid and odors. Vacuum the carpeting to remove the baking soda.
Keep the fans and dehumidifier running overnight. Check the carpeting the next day for any signs of wetness. You can press paper towels against the carpeting to see if any dampness remains. Return the furniture to the room once you have determined that the carpeting is completely dry.
Things You Will Need
- Towels
- Bucket
- Wet-dry vacuum
- Dehumidifier
- Fans
- Baking soda
- Vacuum
- Paper towels
- Remove furniture from the room so you have space to work. Any furniture that was sitting on the wet carpeting should be dried thoroughly and checked for water damage.
- Consult with mold-removal specialists if your carpet has remained damp longer than 48 hours.
- Do not use a traditional vacuum to suck up the water. You must use a wet-dry vacuum, which can be rented at hardware and home-improvement stores.
- Keep the fan and dehumidifier off the wet carpeting while plugged in to avoid the risk of electrical shock.

This community is filled with more and more jerks and more and more riff raff.
Every time you pass the sidewalk you see folks who can't drive or kids blasting their music in their cars and the like.
Even disrespectful minorities bending down to spit right across of you when they are walking with their friends.
This area has turned to a new low, and is getting worse and worse every day.
Even aggressive robbers looking to steal. Crime has been going up. Car accidents are going up. Lots of clueless drivers who can't even drive a car blocking up traffic and crashing into things.
It is time we had a new conservative mayor and a republican president and 2 republican senators, and republicans on the courts in this state and city.
We have had it with the liberalistic corrupt mentality running this city where troublemakers cause havok.RepliesThanks. Your comment reminds me why I would never vote for a Republican or a conservative and why I am more proud every day to consider myself as liberal as can be.

Wow, I love how racists spewing such vitriol are always pointing out those disrespectful minorities while never realizing how disrespectful and ignorant they themselves are being - oh the irony. Also shows how disgusting and hateful (and uneducated) the blue collar republicans are so I'll be voting firmly in the blue this year so as not to side with the riff raff in this neighborhood.
I have the sinking suspicion that this person is also anti-Bareburger and the like. Seems to fit the profile. Lol. The literary quality of your post indicates a poor understanding of the English language. Almost as if you had recently arrived from another country. Ironic, isn't it?

I dont think the mayor or the president are why the community has more riff raff and they certainly dont have anything to do with people driving and spitting like animals.
Riff Raff is attracted to cheap eats, fast food and chain stores and thats what FH has to offer with more chains coming in constantly - AnonymousJune 3, 2012 at 9:33 PM

This accident may very well have been caused by a drunken patron from one of the many bars that are popping up along Austin Street. I would love more eateries and less bars. The bars are attracting the wrong crowd over the weekends...which is the kids that hang out around the Long Island railroad, or from the movie theater. Bars attract young ladies, young ladies attract the "wrong type of boys" from the outerboroughs that drive by in a snail pace along Austin....looking for some "action".
