Streetfilms has launched a new series of videos, Moving Beyond the Automobile. As Streetfilms releases each video in the series, we'll be posting them here for you to enjoy.
What's a road diet? Quite simply, traffic-calming expert Dan Burden told Streetfilms, "A road diet is anytime you take any lane out of a road."
The first time people hear about a road diet, their initial reaction likely goes something like this: "How can removing lanes improve my neighborhood and not cause traffic backups?" It seems counterintuitive, but taking away lanes can actually help traffic flow smoother while improving safety for everyone.
Road diets are good for pedestrians: They reduce speeding and make vehicle movements more predictable while shortening crossing distances, usually through curb extensions or center median islands. They're good for cyclists: Many road diets shift space from car lanes to create bike lanes. They're good for drivers: Less speeding improves safety for motorists and passengers, and providing left-turn pockets allows through traffic to proceed without shifting lanes or waiting behind turning vehicles.
And here's something to keep in mind during this era of lean budgets: Road diets are a highly-effective infrastructure improvement that can be implemented quickly and at low cost.
Streetfilms would like to thank The Fund for the Environment & Urban Life for making this series possible.

Asian Chicken Lettuce Wraps
I'm still here and am still cooking!! I never knew how busy things would get with a little one in the house (so much fun!!!). But we have still been doing a lot of cooking - I just haven't taken the time to experiment with new ideas or recipes. Every now and then I do, like on my dad's birthday back in October (yes, this is a post from October finally making it to my blog in December!).
I used this recipe from Wasabimom.com, a gluten-free cooking site. To see the original recipe with gluten-free substitutions, see the link above.
The Pouring Sauce
- 1/4 c sugar
- 1/2 c warm water
- 2 tbsp soy sauce (I used low sodium)
- 2 tbsp rice wine vinegar
- 2 tbsp ketchup
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1/8 tsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp hot water
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
The Stir Fry Sauce
- 2 tbsp soy sauce (I used low sodium)
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp rice wine vinegar
Chicken Stir Fry Ingredients:
- 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tbsp sesame oil
- 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, chopped into 1/2 inch cubes. I chopped mine even smaller than that.
- 1 8-oz can water chestnuts, chopped into pieces the size of corn kernels
- 1/2 c mushrooms, chopped
- 1/2 onion, finely chopped (Basically I chopped my chicken, water chestnuts, mushrooms, and onion to pieces of the same size)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 6 large leaves iceberg or Napa cabbage
- Heat oils in a large saute pan or wok until glistening
- Add the chicken and cook until mostly cooked, about 5 minutes (max.. mine took less time)
- Turn the heat down to medium-high, add another tbsp oil, then add the onions, garlic, water chestnuts, mushrooms. Saute 1 minute then add the stir fry sauce.
- Cook about 4 minutes and transfer to a serving dish.
- Serve 1-2 spoonfuls of the chicken mixture in a piece of lettuce. Yum!

Max Bubeck: Doing the Ton
Being born in the LA area was a very fortunate happening for me. By 1933 at age 15, I already had my first motorcycle, a 1930 101 Scout. It wasn't long before I got acquainted with the local "hounds," as we were known then, and every week end we would be off to some event, usually a TT race, field event, or beer bust.
One of the favorite spots was about 15 miles east of LA at Sam Parriots' in Puente Ranch. The LA 45 Club put on steak feeds and field meets at least twice a year and one of the big attractions was a straight, blacktop road that ran for a mile, then made a dogleg turn to the right, then left and up a hill. This was known as the Puente Strip.
By 1937, we would convene our motorcycles in "drag outs" or speed runs at least once a month on early Saturday mornings before there was any traffic. By 1939, Frank Christian had built an electric-eye timing clock so we could get accurate times. This was a great help to the local racers and speed-trialers to check their machines for performance. It was in October of 1941 and I left home early Saturday morning on my '39 Indian Four, headed for Puente. The route was east on Valley Blvd to Fifth Street, in Puente, a right turn across some railroad tracks, then a left turn onto the strip.
As I came around the corner at about 30mph, I saw three machines just starting on a run. The one on the left was Ed Kretz on his #38 Sport Scout race bike, and the others were a couple of Harleys. I thought, why not see if I could catch them, so I pulled the Four back into second gear and got on it. I was gaining on all three, and soon passed the Harleys but Kretz was still ahead. I was slightly to the left of him and my front wheel was along side his rear wheel, both of us still in second at 75mph. Ed looked over his right shoulder, saw the Harleys behind him, snapped into high gear and laid down on the Scout. I did the same on my Four and the Scout started to pull away at 90mph. So I edged into his draft about three feet behind and managed to stay there at over 100mph. The immediate reaction after clearing the timing traps was to sit up and get on the brakes because that dogleg was pretty sharp at that speed.
So Kretz did the usual and turned around to see how far ahead he was of the Harleys. I still laugh when I think of the look on his face when he saw me three feet behind him! His eyes bugged out and almost pushed his goggles off! As we slowed, I came alongside of him and he said, :Where did you come from?" I said, "I was there all the time." My speedometer stop-hand read 114mph and when we got back to the timer, we found out we had hit 112.50mph.
I later took the Four through at 108.43mph, without the benefit of the draft—this was just as I rode it on the streets—headlights, fenders, saddlebags, the works. Sam Parriot tried to talk me into talking off the extra garbage and trying again, but I was happy with that speed. Remember—this was 1941, when few machines would clock an honest 100mph.
Kretz asked me to take his Scout through and see what I could get out of it, as I was about 40 pounds lighter. It clocked exactly 112.50mph with me on it, too. This was the week before the big 200 mile race at Oakland. Kretz had the best qualifying time at 94mph on the very rough one mile track, paved with a low bank on the turns. Kretz, of course, had the pole and at the end of the first lap had a 200 foot lead, which kept increasing every lap until he lapped the second-place rider on the 32nd lap.
Soon after that, there was a very bad accident in the south turn, which resulted in two deaths and several others taken out of the race. How Ed didn't go down is a miracle of some sort. Movies taken of the accident make you shake your head in wonder that Kretz didn't end up in the pile of motorcycles sliding into the fence. Later, when asked how he got through, Ed said he closed his eyes and held on. Anyway, Ed managed to get through the mess without going down and lead until the 117th lap, when his front chain broke and put him out of the race. Front chains weren't supposed to break on Indians with the oil bath but his did. I guess Indian must've gotten a batch of bad chains, improperly heat-treated.
Those were great days! As well as riding my '39 Four on the streets and on trips, I also rode the Four in cross-country events like the Greenhorn 500-miler. I had the privilege of travelling with Ed Kretz, and sometimes Jimmy Kelly another good Indian rider. We usually piled into the car late on Saturday, and drove long, hard, and late at night to make some Sunday racemeet at some distance from LA. Many were the pranks and jokes. The world was our playground and we would never grow old.

A Systems Policy
Recently I talked to a couple of friends, which all wailed quite a bit about their operations or internal IT departments.
Most of these teams had to fight with some very basic things. They lacked a decent monitoring system or monitoring at all. They didn't deploy systems, they installed it by hand. Systems where not documented etc.
So here are some guidelines, I try to aspire with my team. This is by far not a complete list of things you need to run successful operations but it should give you a fair hint about what it takes.
Also please note that you might want to adapt your own policy a bit to fit your needs. I'm coming from the web industry, but we still run our own hardware, so this might especially not fit a typical cloud based infrastructure.
A System is considered the lowest part of our infrastructure and services. All rules defined here, should be considered in all other policies.
A system….
- is documented at a central location.
- is monitored and being graphed.
- is being backuped.
- is updated regularly.
- has a defined production level. (spare, pre-production, production)
- has a defined owner and maintainer.
- has a predefined maintenance level.
- has a predefined availability.
- has a physical location.
- has a unique name, which is resolvable by DNS.
- has only required software installed.
- was installed with all currently available updates.
- was inspected and approved by a second man before being released to production.
- All parts are functional at any time. All Faults get documented RFN and repaired as soon as possible.
- There are always 2+ people informed about it.
- Network access vectors are defined.
- Configurations are not only available locally (including scripts).
- Sensible data gets protected.
A piece of hardware can be anything from a big server to a small temperature sensor in your server room.
A piece of hardware…
- has a maintenance contract or spare hardware available.
- has got an inventory number.
- is labeled (hostname + inventory).
- is physically secure (environmental! and mechanical access control).
- has got a bill, which is documented at a central location.
- should have redundant power supplies.
- should have some kind of out of band management solution (OOB).
- has at least one power circuit connected to an electronic circuit protected by an uninterruptible power supply (USV).
All tools needed to open and repair any part of the system are available.
A server…
- has at least two disks configured with RAID >= 1.
- has at least two separate network interface cards (NICs).
- has all RAID controllers backed with battery backed write caches (BBWC).
- was dimensioned with adequate future-proof hardware.
- has a lifetime of 2+ years.
A switch
- is manage- or configurable.
- is supported by the configuration backup software in use (e.g. RANCID)
- provides the following protocols: STP, SNMP, IPv6 support (mgmt+multicast), RADIUS for AAA
- does not forward the default VLAN (1) on it's uplink/trunk ports.
- does have a description for every port in use (including hostname and interface, e.g.: server01#eth0, server01#oob, switch03#24)
- does not have any enabled, unused ports: set them to disabled and remove any other configuration for this port.
- blocks or does not forward any discovery protocols on it's user ports.
- is using AAA for authenticating users.
- logs to a central syslog server.
Operating Systems
An operating system (OS) is considered as everything running on a server or instance, to support a service or an application.
An Operating System…
- uses OS-CHOICE-HERE/stable as default distribution on servers.
- uses OS-CHOICE-HERE as default on clients.
- is rebooting without any manual interventions.
- provides access by SSH.
- does not permit root login via SSH.
- has a root password set.
- has the current time, synchronized with a time server and uses TIMEZONE-CHOICE-HERE as time zone.
- can resolve internal and internet names via DNS.
- installs software by packages.
- installs packages from a central internal repository and the official distribution repositories.
- software installed by packages should conform to the FHS.
- software not installed by packages should be installed by a reproducible deployment process.
- has sane defaults set, for user and process environments (locales, shells, screen, got some handy tools, etc.).
- should not provide typical compiler tools (gcc, build-essential).
- provides a manageable AAA concept (e.g. automated provisioning and de-provisioning of staff users).
- sends mails destinated for root to a central location.
- provides a local mailer.
Hostnames exist to identify every part of your infrastructure uniquely. They are used to refer to systems in your configurations and in discussions. You should think about a naming convention, but here are some rough guidelines.
Hostnames …
- have to be unique.
- have to end with a number, which should never be reused and always be incremented.
A service is considered as everything running on a server's operating system, to provide continuous functionality (e.g. a script or an application).
A service…
- does only log errors and auditing information. Application services may as well log more information (e.g. Apache access log).
- has defined log retention times.
- logs to syslog unless it's not possible.
- is authenticating only on secure connections.
- has an adequate and future-proof dimensioned datastore.
- was deployed in a reproducible way.
A network is considered any part of infrastructure, which is used to interconnect servers or systems. (Layer 1,2,3,4,…)
A Network…
- has clear entry and routing points.
- has a diagram which describes access vectors, the logical and physical setup.
- is deployed in adequate and future-proof dimensions (vlans, ip addresses, bandwidth).
- uses structured cabling.
- there is no cross-cabling, except for very rare situations (e.g. HA cabling).
- should not be used for multiple purposes at least not share one of the following classifications.
Class | Description |
net | Internet/upstream network |
mgmt | Management network (monitoring, remote access) |
traffic | Site local traffic network |
backup | Traffic network for backups |
voip | Voip Telephony network |
clients | A network with client workstations. |
devel | A network with development machines. |
staging | A network with staging equipment. |
- OOBs are easy to reach, even in case of an outage.
- VLAN-IDs are considered global, create a list.
- All VLAN-IDs below 99 are switch-local.
- VLANs have a name and a location.
- All address space is considered global (vlans, ip- and mac addresses, including RFC1918)
To round up my article, here is a example checklist we use to peer review new systems:
Example Review Checklist
Every newly deployed host or instance should undergo a peer-review process. The checklist below will provide you with a couple of base acceptance criteria and is going to ensure a certain level of quality. Give it to any other sysadmin and ask him or her to check the system, before it's put into production.
- DNS works (including reverse dns) :
- SSH login works :
- Host+services monitored :
- Host+services graphed :
- All Filesystems backuped :
- Database dumps :
- All Updates installed :
- Host in HostDoc :
- Puppet works :
- Time is accurate :
- Root mails are being delivered :
- Firewall is active :
- No unneeded services are reachable (nmap) :
- Network configuration works (+ipv6) :
- Syslog/dmesg/oob logs are clean of errors :
-- Physical Host --
- Root password documented :
- Root login works :
- OOB password documented :
- OOB login works :
- OOB monitored :
- Switch ports are labeled (+ documented) :
- Hardware is labeled (+ documented in rack docu) :
- Firmware up to date :
- RAID level is > 1 and all disks OK :

C/S Pat Krenik Date, January 26, 2012
I have just completed my Straightwire Grade and I couldn't feel better. I feel more at cause and self-determined than I have in years. My memory is better; I feel sharper and more in PT.
Although it sometimes annoys my 2D when my newly regained self-determinism cause me to "flex my independance muscles" it is due in part to his efforts as my auditor that I have that ability. I am very grateful for his patience and the attentiveness as well as that of my C/S Pat, and the tech.
I have had through Straightwire some major cognitions. I feel more in ARC with my surroundings, people I know as well as those I don't and even myself, how lovely is that!
As fantastic as I feel and as great as my wins, I know from those further along than I that there are bigger wins to be had. I look forward to experiencing them.

In Grey's Anatomy Season 1 we meet Meredith Grey, a woman trying to lead a real life while doing a job that makes having a real life impossible.
Meredith Grey is a first year surgical intern from the Seattle Grace Hospital, which is the toughest surgical residency program west of Harvard. She is joinged by fellow first-year interns Cristina Yang, Alex Karev, Izzie Stevens and George O'Malley who were students just yesterday. Today they're doctors are all juggling the ups and downs of their own personal lives.
The five interns in Grey's Anatomy struggle to form friendships in this most stressful and competitive atmosphere at the hospital. Meredith Grey's medical ambition is overshadowed by a troubling secret which is that her mother, a noted pioneering surgeon, is struggling with a tragic and devastating illness.
Cristina Yang is a study in contradiction; Yang is highly competitive and driven and wants to make it 'on her own'. Isobel "Izzie" Stevens on the other hand is the small-town girl who grew up in a poor background, but in spite of paying for her medical career by modeling she's still struggles with her self-esteem.
George O'Malley is the warm but insecure boy next door who always manages to do or say the wrong thing at the wrong time at the hospital and in his personal life. In spite of his attraction to women, he's treated as "just one of the girls" by the other interns. Finally we have Alex Karev, the intern the other interns love to hate, who masks his working class roots with arrogance and ambition.
The interns are guided by an established team of doctors who are determined to shape them into skilled surgeons or break them. Dr Miranda Bailey is a senior resident responsible for training them and is so tough that she's nicknamed "The Nazi" by the other doctors.

Commonly known as Berners and hailing from the high swiss mountains, the Bernese Mountain dog was formerly a working dog. This dog breed was initially developed to pull carts, herd cattle and also act as watchdogs. They are widely known for their loyalty and the high amount of energy they have. Discover more about our Bernese Mountain Dog puppies for sale below!
It is said that the berner was being put to work on swiss farms for more than a thousand years where it was hidden away far away in the alps, herding cattle and giving companionship. However, the need for a working dog began to dwindle in Switzerland around 1888 as more than half of the population gave up agricultural work.
Some breeders took it upon themselves to preserve their native dog breeds and they achieved this by creating a dog club which they called "Berna". After the first world war, Berners were exported to holland and the united states.
In 1936, English breeders took it upon themselves to breed Bernese mountain dogs and succeeded as the first litter was born in England in the same year. The second world war put a halt on the importation of dog breeds, but these activities soon resumed in the united states after 1945. Today, the Bernese Mountain dog is a full member of the AKC.
Berners are very intelligent, loving, and affectionate dogs. They love being part of a family and thrive when they are included in all fun family activities. Although berners are quite protective of their territories, they are not overly aggressive with strangers.
Instead, they tend to be withdrawn and a little shy around many people. It is therefore important that owners expose their dogs to different people and animals in the early stages of their lives to make them comfortable with new faces.
Socialization is very important to the overall health of every dog and with berners, the earlier they are trained in this aspect, the more well-rounded they become as adult dogs.
Since they were initially bred as working dogs, the Bernese mountain dog has to be kept active and learning for it to thrive. It doesn't do well in small places so this is not the dog breed for you if you live in an apartment.
They love having a wide expanse of land to run around in and use their playtime to get as much exercise as they need. Berners are family dogs and they need to be around kids and friendly adults as often as possible.
Aside from the usual yard playtime they get, berners need to be exercised daily for about 30 minutes. These exercises should be both mental and physical and not too easy to ensure that they stay in great shape.
Since Berners have the tendency to add a lot of weight if not well monitored, some experts advise they get at least 60-90 minutes of vigorous exercise daily to keep health conditions associated with weight gain at bay. Simple activities like swimming, hiking, running, etc, are great choices of exercise.
As beautiful as berners are, it comes at a high price. They are huge shedders and will shed all year long, especially during the spring and fall seasons. To control this, they need to be thoroughly brushed several times every week to prevent tangling of their coat and also minimize the amount of hair around the house.
Their teeth should be brushed at least twice monthly and their nails should be trimmed every other month. The back of their ears and gums should also be checked as often as possible to avoid any infectious occurrences. Every three months, berners should be bathed thoroughly to maintain a neat appearance. If berners are groomed often at a young age, they become more accustomed to it as they grow and will cooperate fully.
Our Bernese Mountain Dog puppies for sale come from either USDA licensed commercial breeders or hobby breeders with no more than 5 breeding mothers. USDA licensed commercial breeders account for less than 20% of all breeders in the country.
The unregulated breeders who are selling outside of the USDA regulations and without a license are what we consider to be "Puppy Mills." We are committed to offering Bernese Mountain Dog puppies who will grow up to become important members of your family. We only purchase puppies from the very best sources, and we stand behind every puppy we sell.

This is the third post in a four-part series about extending a simple Webmachine resource. The first part discussed adding support for the HTTP method PUT, and the second part added basic authorization.
If I'm sharing management of a server with someone else, I want to be careful of overwriting that other person's changes. For instance, I might only want to engage "DANGER_MODE" if I can be sure that "COAST=clear".
I need to know that between my last GET and my next PUT, that the value of the "COAST" variable hasn't changed. I can handle this simply by generating an ETag for the resource:
Now I can issue conditional requests. When I GET /_env the response will have an ETag header, which is reasonably guaranteed to change if the environment variables change. I can take that ETag and toss it back in an If-Match, and the request will only succeed if the environment variables are in the same state as I last saw them (because the ETag won't match otherwise). That is:
will only succeed if the enviroment is in the state it was when I issued the request that returned Etag: LAST_ETAG (when, hopefully, I checked to make sure that the coast was clear).
Update: part four is up.

A team from the University of Notre Dame has developed the first iPad app to help you diagnose concussions. Is this the future of healthcare?
A team at University of Notre Dame has developed the very first app for diagnosing traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) using voice recognition. Currently, there are 1.6 million to 3.8 million sports-related TBIs every year, including 300,000 among young athletes. This app could help diagnose concussions and other TBIs faster, helping those with injuries avoid long-term problems. In addition, there are non-athletic applications to this app, including helping diagnose TBIs in the field for members of the military.

Hard money loans are often the avenue for getting into an investment property quickly and having the funds to rehab a property or literally buy time to structure more traditional financing. Everyone has heard of hard money loans but not everyone knows how to find a hard money lender in Missouri.
How to Find a Hard Money Lender In Missouri
Finding a Hard Money Lender
With the internet as swift as it is, you can simply Google "hard money lender Missouri" to get a list of lenders close by. You will cross through a stream of ads and then the top listings for your area.
The problem with this method is it can feel like walking down a dark alley and asking Guido to see The Boss. You just don't know who you are dealing with; savvy salesman can make a website look slick and amazing and because since this is considered private money, it is less regulated.
So while you could find one pretty quickly, finding one you can trust to not foreclose on your property based on some loophole is imperative.
Verifying Hard Money Lender Credibility
This is where you need to be smarter than the average Joe and willing to do your own due diligence. Attend or join local real estate investment clubs. Talk to the members about their experiences with lenders. Not only will you get honest feedback on the hard money lenders on your list, most likely, there will be either a member or referral list in the club for the best lenders nearby.
This is important because you want a lender that is not just trustworthy but who also understands the local market. This helps expedite the process of the loan. It can also give you valuable feedback and insights you weren't considering. Because the lender is in the local market, he is looking at deals there daily.
He understands the nuance and potential problems in the area and might be able to give you feedback to adjust your plan for success.
Other Resources for Hard Money Lenders in Missouri
If you don't have a real estate investment club near you, talk to local real estate brokers and agents. Many have a list of investors, financing companies and other resources that can help. Remember that real estate brokers and agents work on commission, to develop a relationship with them that adds to their pocket as well.
Keep in mind that hard money loans are expensive. If you are able to get financing through personal family and friend resources, it might be a less expensive venture. When working with family and friends, make sure they understand the risks involved as this is an investment and business venture. While you want the funding, you don't want to burn through your personal relationships leaving you lonely on holidays.
What to Ask a Hard Money Lender
In shopping for a hard money lender, make sure you interview them. This is a two-way street and even though they hold the money you need to know who you are jumping into a relationship with. Find out all the terms and conditions of financing before you get the contract, and then have the contract reviewed in detail by your attorney.
Of course, you will want to know the rate and how that rate is determined along with the length of the loan. Understand your exit clauses and how to refinance or pay the loan off early; are there penalties? Many hard money deals are necessary for quick funding so you don't want to waste your time with someone slow to make a decision. Find out about their history and experience to determine if they can deliver the financing as needed without problems.

Tricks to finding the right paint type and paint colour.
Which Paint Type Is Right for You?
Where to use: Best choice for walls with many imperfections. Use on ceilings and bedroom, dining-room, and living-room walls. Do not use in the kitchen or bathrooms.
Touch-ups and scrubbability: Flat or matte finishes are easy to touch up but hard to clean. Premium flat paint, such as Benjamin Moore Regal Matte Finish or California Paints Super-Scrub Matte Finish, has better washability.
Where to use: This low-sheen finish is a great choice for living-room or bedroom walls. Do not use in high-traffic areas, like hallways, because the delicate finish mars easily.
Touch-ups and scrubbability: Eggshell has a washable finish that can be easily touched up.
Where to use: With a silky, pearl-like sheen, it's a good choice for woodwork as well as walls in the family room, children's rooms, laundry room, kitchen, and bathrooms.
Touch-ups and scrubbability: Satin has a warm finish that's scrubbable. More difficult to touch up because any difference in sheen will be apparent.
Where to use: Semigloss is a popular choice for trim and moldings, and is also ideal for kitchen and bathroom walls because it is more resistant to humidity and withstands stains, chipping, and scuffing.
Touch-ups and scrubbability: Durable and easy to clean, it's the most scrubbable sheen for walls. However, semigloss is more difficult to touch up because the difference in sheen may show up more easily.
Where to use: Gloss is rarely used on walls because it shows imperfections like a mirror does. It is typically used on woodwork, trim, moldings, and works well only for surfaces that are truly smooth.
Touch-ups and scrubbability: It's the most durable finish and the easiest to clean, yet is the most difficult to touch up because the difference in sheen may show up more easily.
Hope these tips help you when choosing which product to use 🙂

Named for Marya Welch, "the first woman hired in the physical education department at UC Davis" (source), this extension to Campus' current bunch of Tennis Courts was finished sometime in 2004.
Being across the street from the North Entry Parking Structure, the status of this project is sure to make a good first impression on campus visitors.
Construction Era Information
Really though, to me it looks like they started on it pretty good and gave up around May or June. I don't know if this is a planned thing or if they hired the same bunch of stooges to construct it that bailed on the Segundo Dining Commons construction after going bankrupt. I'm sure it'l get done during fall quarter though. How hard is it to build a couple tennis courts? They're flat, you know. - TravisGrathwell
It looks like it's almost done now, but as of the end of Fall Quarter 2004 they still don't seem to have lights or grandstands. I wonder whether they're actually planning to install those. — KenBloom

Wally Wolf
Wally Wolf (born May 5th, 1971[1]) is a fursuit enthusiast from Apex, North Carolina, United States.
When not working as a chemical engineer, Wally is often seen in one of several fursonas: Carson Cougar, Sammy Squirrel, Oscar Duck, Louie Lizard and Nova Zax.
Preferring the term mascot over fursuit, Wally wears his suits at various conventions and furry functions, as well as for several service organizations, church functions and public events. One of his greatest loves is to visit sick children in hospital, some with little time left, and bring a smile to their face with a wag of a tail and a shake of a tambourine, sometimes bringing them toys or just acting like a clown. He has logged several hundred hours doing this for the kids.
Wally is also an avid photographer, artist, amateur radio operator and unicycler.

The Best Dramatic Performances By Comedians in Movies
The Safdie Brothers' hotly anticipated Uncut Gems is now in theaters. Even before its official release, the crime thriller has been generating buzz for Adam Sandler, who plays a charismatic New York City jeweler and hustler. Several critics (along with Sandler himself), agree that his performance is nothing short of Oscar-worthy.
Sandler belongs to a category of entertainers who have built their careers on comedy who've been given a dramatic role and proceeded to knock it out of the park. What happens when a movie rides that fine line in between genres, gut-bustingly funny in one moment and gravely serious in the next? Easy. Get yourself an actor who can do both. After all, they say that comedy and tragedy are two sides of the same coin. These actors prove this to be true.

NEW YORK (AP) — When red-suited revelers throng the city's streets and taverns under the banner of SantaCon, some see an outpouring of holiday spirit, not to mention spirits. But to others, it's the blight before Christmas.
Videos by Rare
After complaints about boorish, bar-hopping St. Nicks got attention from local officials and police, the event's ringleaders are trying to quell the SantaCon-troversy ahead of this year's gathering Saturday.
They're pledging to advise police of their usually guarded plans, have volunteers help control the roving crowd of Kringles and send the message that SantaCon is a meant to be a "festive culture jam," not a bad-Santa bender.
"This year," the event's website vows, "we are cleaning up Santa's act."
It's a coming-of-age moment for SantaCon, which traces its origin to a consumer-culture-tweaking "Santarchy" in San Francisco in 1994 and now spans events in more than 300 cities worldwide. Fueled by the wildfire word-spreading of social media, the New York celebration has become one of the biggest, mushrooming in roughly a decade from a few hundred bearded boozers to tens of thousands, by some estimates.
As numbers have swelled, the event's image has morphed from whimsical flash mob to flashpoint, even for New Yorkers used to such freewheeling shindigs as the giant Greenwich Village Halloween Parade. SantaCon's organizers are as tough to pin down as the elf himself — one responded to an inquiry from The Associated Press but refused to be quoted by name — but the site acknowledges the event "has had growing pains."
Enthusiasts say the daylong event starts at 10 a.m. and aims to put a cheeky, modern spin on holiday traditions — "don we now our gay apparel," anyone? — while generating money for both bars and charities. Participants are instructed to make $10 charitable donations and encouraged to bring small gifts to bestow on one another and passers-by.
"For me, SantaCon is about just dressing up and having fun, laughing till it hurts and enjoying being part of a massive celebration. … It isn't about drinking or getting wasted," says Brandon Ferreira-Hanyo, 27, of East Quogue, N.Y. He's looking forward to attending for a third consecutive year.
"It's gotten so huge you have to take the good with the bad," he says, but he feels the complaints about drunken rowdiness are overblown.
Bar owners are split. To Dan Warren, the managing owner of Common Ground, a hangout in Manhattan's East Village, "it's festive and fun" and a boost to daytime business. But SantaCon-goers are frozen out of Hotel Chantelle, a cocktail lounge in Manhattan's Lower East Side, after a sloshed Claus harassed women brunching there two years ago, managing partner Tim Spuches said.
To some onlookers, SantaCon is about as jolly as explaining to a kindergartener why Santa just tossed his milk and cookies.
"Take your body fluids and public intoxication elsewhere," read "SantaCon free zone" signs that appeared this week on the bar-laden Lower East Side, where some residents already weary of living with nightlife see SantaCon as a final straw.
"Now we have a whole day of vomiting and vandalism and people acting without any decorum or respect for other people," says Diem Boyd, a leader of LES Dwellers, the group that made the signs. "I think anything quaint about it is gone by now."
So do some police and politicians.
The New York Police Department logged a sole, disorderly-conduct arrest at SantaCon last year, along with 73 open-container tickets and a summons for public urination. That was enough for at least one police lieutenant, who suggested to midtown Manhattan bars that the event hurt the neighborhood more than it helped the establishments.
Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly then made clear the department supports SantaCon, calling it generally peaceful and an example of "what makes New York New York."
But some city and state officeholders also were pressing the organizers to thwart misbehavior, and threatening to ask police and bars to do so if SantaCon wouldn't. Meanwhile, some of the area's commuter railroads are banning alcoholic drinks on their trains during the celebration, as they do during some other events.
And so, organizers say, a more orderly SantaCon is coming to town.
They agreed to let police and community leaders know their planned route, which participants learn only in real time by text and tweet. Volunteer Santa's helpers will help work to keep sidewalks — and participants' conduct — passable, according to the event website and to state Sen. Brad Hoylman, who spearheaded a recent phone conference between officials and SantaCon leaders.
Hoylman says he appreciates the effort but wonders how much sway volunteers can exercise over an event that prizes spontaneity.
Leading up to it, SantaCon's wranglers are trying to instill a sense of responsibility, if in an in-your-bearded-face way.
"Santa spreads JOY. Not terror. Not vomit. Not trash," the site says. "Would you want those under YOUR tree?"

Me in my studio: Sonnymoon
"This is the studio and equipment we used to create our album Sonnymoon, out now on Plug Research records.
"First I'd like to preface all of the pictures and say that we're one of the true gypsy bands left and don't really have a permanent space that we would call our 'studio'. Since I left my hometown of Schenectady, NY in 2008, we've 'lived' in Boston, Los Angeles and San Francisco and have travelled everywhere in between.
"One of the things Anna and I pride ourselves on is being able to work anywhere, especially while we were working on the record. The majority of it was done in my bedroom in Boston with a USB Audio Technica AT-2020 mic, Roland SP-555, computer and MIDI controller. Sometimes however we'd be travelling and work on things in hotel rooms or whatever. Studios have a very odd pressure for us that isn't always conducive to our purest creative flow."
The band
"Since the record came out things have changed quite a bit for us. We've added two new members, a multi-instrumentalist (Tyler Randall) and a drummer (Joe Welch) but we still have a pretty utilitarian setup.
"We've been on this kick where we are trying to bring the live experience and the studio experience as close together as we possibly can. Most of the stuff we use to play live is also all we need to record, it's pretty convenient."
"I'm really proud of the fact that I've progressed from needing to have the computer up on the table to getting it down on the floor out of both my view and the audience's view. I feel like seeing a computer on stage is a huge eyesore and takes people away from the experience."
Studio view
"My main keyboard is the Akai MPK49 which I use to control both Ableton Live and the MicroKorg (man I can't stand those tiny keys) and I also have the MPK25 for when I need to control a second sound from Ableton. Sometimes I'm playing both, sometimes Tyler and I play one each."
Ableton Live
"I use Ableton Live because the workflow is so amazing and really supports that philosophy of bringing the stage and the studio as close together as possible."
Other software
"I used Logic to mix a lot of things just because I feel like it is easier to think as a mixing engineer in Logic after composing in Ableton.
"I used Tassman and a bit of cSound in the studio for synthesis and ended up recreating a lot of my sounds in Massive for live performance. I've actually just grown to enjoy using Massive and FM8 almost exclusively now because I've gotten so comfortable with them."
Joe's drums
"Here's Joe's see-through drum setup complete with Roland SPD-SX Drum Pad in the middle."
"Then it gets really nerdy. I was lucky enough to learn cSound and MaxMSP from Dr Richard Boulanger at Berklee so I use cSound mainly for crazy synthesis stuff that I end up bouncing and resampling into Ableton or Logic."
Max MSP
"Max is a lot more reliable (for me at least) in the live setting so I've been getting into making different Max4Live objects that do cool sampling or granular synthesis (which actually uses the cSound Partikkel opcode).
"My newest Max toy that I plan to use a lot in the future is this 'PunchSeq' thing that I've been working on where you can use the MPK25 keys to 'punch' in a sequence of up to 64 notes out of time then use the drum pads as momentary triggers to play through the sequence. Each pad represents a different time division (eighth notes/sixteenth notes/triplets etc) and it really allows you to be super expressive with a sequencer.
"We've been trying to solve the problem of playing electronic music without a clock running since we all came from playing non-electronic music with real instruments and have an obsession with human feel."
The table
"So that's all that I have up on the tables. I'm convinced that, because people use computers for so many things these days, seeing one at a concert subliminally triggers something where they stop thinking about the music and start thinking about Twitter or their email they forgot to respond to or whatever… and what do you know the next thing they do is get out their smartphone and now we've lost them from the journey we've been attempting to bring them on.
"We've upgraded from the MBox audio interface to the Onyx 820i which is really amazing both in the studio and live. I have the SP-555 set up on one of the aux channels so that allows me to send my microphone (for my voice or saxophone), Tyler's guitar or the microKorg through the beautiful SP effects. The SP is also acting as a sampler, mostly for ambient sounds."

Patricia Iannuzzi named 2013 ACRL Academic/ Research Librarian of the Year
CHICAGO — Patricia Iannuzzi, dean of university libraries at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV), is the 2013 Association of College and Research Libraries' (ACRL) Academic/Research Librarian of the Year. The award, sponsored by YBP Library Services, recognizes an outstanding member of the library profession who has made a significant national or international contribution to academic/research librarianship and library development.
Iannuzzi will receive a $5,000 award at 4 p.m. on Wed., April 10, 2013, during the ACRL 2013 conference opening keynote session in Indianapolis.
"Patricia Iannuzzi's distinguished career as a librarian and educator has been marked by her dedication to information literacy and student learning, and by her passionate advocacy for academic libraries through developing outcomes-based standards for measuring their value in higher education," noted David D. Oberhelman, chair of the ACRL Academic/Research Librarian of the Year Award Committee and professor in the Oklahoma State University Library Humanities-Social Sciences Division. "We are thrilled to honor her with this award for her remarkable ability to effect positive change, for as they say at the UNLV Libraries, 'Patty will kick down the doors, so be ready to walk through them!'"
"I am honored to be recognized by ACRL for my work in academic libraries and higher education," said Iannuzzi. "To have fellow librarians, leaders in higher education and library staff support me for this award is truly humbling. Librarians have the privilege to build upon the work of earlier generations as we nurture and support the next generation. For all those who have contributed to my professional career, thank you. I am truly humbled to be part of the prestigious group selected before me, but just as honored to be part of a legacy of collaboration and achievement in academic libraries and the larger higher education community for our colleagues who follow. "
Over the course of her career, Iannuzzi has been a national and international leader on, and advocate for, information literacy and student learning issues in higher education. By chairing the recent task force resulting in a major revision of the ACRL Standards for Libraries in Higher Education and the committee that developed the seminal ACRL Information Literacy Competency Standards for Higher Education, she has served a pivotal role in establishing a standards-based, outcomes-driven framework for both library assessment and instruction efforts. Through her vision and gifts for integrative inquiry, thinking and action, Iannuzzi has been a leader in efforts to make information literacy a meaningful educational goal and to ensure that libraries are part of the focus on learning outcomes that is occurring across higher education. As a result of her efforts, leadership and example, Iannuzzi has served as a mentor and inspiration for many in the academic and research library community.
Her distinguished record of service to the library profession includes chairing both the ACRL Task Force on Standards for Libraries in Higher Education (2009-2011) and the ACRL Task Force on Information Literacy Competency Standards (1999-2001), along with co-chairing the AASL/ACRL Joint Task Force on the Educational Role of Libraries (1998-2000). Iannuzzi additionally served ACRL as a member of the association's Value of Academic Libraries Committee (2011-2012). Iannuzzi also served as a faculty member in the Association of American Colleges and Universities (AAC&U) Greater Expectations Institute (2006- 2011), a member of the Greater Western Library Alliance Board of Directors (2010-present) and on the ALA Presidential Committee on Information Literacy Partnerships (2000 -2002). She received the ACRL Instruction Section Miriam Dudley Instruction Librarian Award in 2001.
Iannuzzi has presented on information literacy issues, undergraduate education, faculty-library collaborations and more at a wide range of conferences including the AAC&U Greater Expectations Institute, LOEX of the West, LILAC: Libraries Information Literacy Annual Conference, Music Library Association and the ALA Annual Conference. She has also served as a consultant on issues including information literacy, curriculum design and budgeting for a variety of institutions. Iannuzzi's publications include "Reforming the Undergraduate Experience" in New Directions in Teaching and Learning (with Diane VanderPol and Jeanne Brown, 2008), "Focus: Information Literacy Competency Standards for Higher Education" in Community and Junior College Libraries (2000) and "Faculty Development and Information Literacy: Establishing Campus Partnerships" in RSR: Reference Services Review (1998).
Prior to joining UNLV in 2005, Iannuzzi served as associate university librarian and director of the Doe/ Moffitt Libraries (2000-2005) and interim director of collections (2002-2005) at the University of California- Berkeley, head of the reference department and co-director of the information literacy initiative at Florida International University (1991-2000) and in a variety of positions at the University of Miami, Yale University and Tufts University.
Iannuzzi received her B.A. in Psychology from Yale University in 1976 and her M.S. from the Simmons College Graduate School of Library and Information Science in 1981.
The award dates back to 1978, and recent award winners include Paula T. Kaufman (2012); Janice Welburn (2011); Maureen Sullivan (2010); Gloriana St. Clair (2009); Peter Hernon (2008); Lizabeth (Betsy) Wilson (2007); Ray English (2006); Ravindra Nath (R. N.) Sharma (2005); Tom Kirk (2004); Ross Atkinson, (2003); Shelley Phipps (2002) and Larry Hardesty (2001).
