Warning: Images from real post-mortems and bad decorating to follow.
As the first couple of doors of the advent calendar are opened, and adverts for everything Christmassy are starting to drive you a little insane, we thought it would be a good time to remind pet owners of some of the risks the holiday season brings to our pets. Vets come across as gigantic Debbie Downers at this time of year, but hopefully with a little advice the necropsy room will be nice and quiet as a result.
Most owners are aware of foods that shouldn't be shared with pets. A few of the more common culprits are listed here (don't forget about them after they've been mixed into something else!) but there are many other toxic 'treats' so it's best to stick with products specifically made for pets.
Chocolate is everywhere this time of year – keep it out of reach of your pets!
Onions, garlic and chives mangle red blood cells in cats and dogs, leading to severe anaemia. Don't forget gravy and stuffing often contain lots of onion!
Animals are much more sensitive to alcohol. It can depress breathing and lead to aspiration pneumonia (choking on vomit).
The avocado fruit and plant is toxic to many species, and severely toxic to rodents and birds. Cherries are also poisonous to cats and dogs.
Grapes and raisins, often hidden in fruit cakes, mince pies and Christmas puddings, can lead to kidney failure in dogs. Macadamia nuts and blue cheese are also harmful to pets.
Bones are bad news all round! They can choke, cause obstructions (in the airways and guts), and tear the intestines. Bones are best avoided altogether – our domestic dogs aren't quite as smart or robust as their ancestors!
Xylitol, an artificial sweetener, can cause severe hypoglycaemia (low blood sugar) in dogs, leading to coma and death. It is common in commercially available food for diabetics (chocolates and sweets), as well as 'diet' versions of soft drinks.
As if Christmas dinner was enough of a minefield for your furry friend, decorations are also a danger! This time of year sees lots of animals visiting the hospital (and sadly, the necropsy room too) after swallowing all sorts of objects including baubles, tinsel, and batteries.
Real Christmas tree needles can be irritant to dogs, causing skin reactions, sores in the mouth, vomiting and diarrhoea.
Holly, mistletoe and poincetta are all toxic to animals – keep them securely fastened out of reach of the curious dog and cat.
And don't leave candles unattended in case your mischievous cat knocks them over, nor electrical cables accessible to the dog who is bored of his chew toy, or house rabbit who likes to nibble at everything…
Have a safe and happy holiday from Vetforensics!

Microsoft blew past expectations for December quarter revenue and profits thanks to huge Windows 7 sales.
Specifically, the Windows division achieved $6.9 billion in sales, up 70% year-over-year and beating Wall Street estimates in the low-to-mid $6 billion range. Microsoft says it has sold 60 million Windows 7 licenses so far, "making it the fastest selling operating system in history."
The $5.4 billion in operating income from the Windows division represented more than 60% of the company's total.
Overall, Microsoft reported $19.02 billion in sales, up 14% year-over-year and soundly beating the Street's $17.84 billion consensus. EPS came in at $0.74 per share -- $0.60 diluted per share -- above the $0.59 analyst consensus.
Meanwhile, Microsoft's online division continues to burn cash. The Online Services Business lost $466 million from operations, worse than $320 million in the year-ago period. Revenue decreased to $581 million, from $609 million in the year-ago period, and below McAdams Wright Ragen analyst Sid Parakh's estimate of $679 million.
And operating income jumped at the Entertainment and Devices business despite relatively flat revenue. The division, including the Xbox, reported $375 million in operating income, more than double the year-ago quarter, on almost flat sales of $4.75 billion.

The topic provides some strategies in managing stress. There are 6 strategies given:
- Avoid unnecessary stress. When you're in the workplace, learn how to say no. When you're in the workplace and someone offers you extra responsibility and you don't have the time to do it and it's only gonna create stress.
- Alter the situation, express your feelings instead of bottling them up. If you're having a problem with someone let that person knows.
- Adopt to the stressor. Re-frame your problems. Look for the positive. There's a positive in everything.
- Accept the things you can't change. Don't try to control the uncontrollable. You can't control people's attitudes, but you can control the way you react to them.
- Make time for fun and relaxation.
- Adopt a healthy lifestyle.
To conclude, stress can be managed through a few simple life changes. Starts with finding out the cause of the stressor, the source of the stressor.

Last week was marked with a historic event: UN Security Council adopted the first ever resolution focusing on cultural heritage. The Resolution received unanimous support that reflects a new recognition of the importance of heritage protection for peace and security.
Security Council calls for systematic protection of cultural heritage objects. The Resolution provides for bringing to justice for war crimes (under certain circumstances) those directing unlawful attacks against cultural objects of any kind: sites and buildings dedicated to religion, education, art, science or charitable purposes, or historic monuments.
The full text of Resolution 2347 (2017) is available in six official languages at: http://undocs.org/en/S/RES/2347(2017)
For some comments please address: http://en.unesco.org/news/security-council-adopts-historic-resolution-protection-heritage
Another interesting news in this regard is formation at the end of March 2017 of the International Alliance for the Protection of Heritage in Conflict Areas (ALIPH), coordinated by UNESCO, and aimed prevention of heritage site destruction, fighting trafficking of stolen artifacts, paying for restoration and creation of a global network of storage and safeguarding sites.
Seven countries (France, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Morocco, Luxembourg and Switzerland) and one philanthropist from the USA (USA themselves are not among the donour countries) pledged a total of $75.5 million for the above purpose. Italy, Great Britain, the Republic of Korea, Germany, China and Mexico promised "physical", not monetary, support.
More details available at: http://www.unesco.org/new/en/media-services/single-view/news/unesco_france_and_the_emirates_launch_an_international_alli/
With regard to the above, it is also worth to note the recent decision by the International Criminal Court, which for the first time convicted a defendant for the war crimes of intentionally directing attacks against religious buildings and historic monuments and buildings, available at: https://www.icc-cpi.int/mali/al-mahdi/pages/al-mahdi-videos.aspx
In the cases Prosecutor v. Ahmad Al Faqi Al Mahdi, the latter, alleged member of the armed group associated with Al Qaeda, was found guilty as a co-perpetrator of the war crime consisting in intentionally directing attacks against heritage sites (religious and historic buildings) in Timbuktu, Mali. Sentenced to 9 years of imprisonment.

The Milne Boys Home is a squatter's dream. The seven antebellum-style buildings that make up the Gentilly campus have sat empty since Hurricane Katrina, rotting from the inside as the grass surrounding them grew into a waist-high jungle.
Thin sheets of plywood, ripped away from windows, lie in patches of dirt, allowing easy access to the interiors. Inside the gymnasium where troubled children were once taught discipline, the walls are covered in graffiti, some of it gang-related, some of it just obscene.
Elmo Humphrey lives across the street from Milne on Franklin Avenue near Lake Pontchartrain and has gazed out his window over the past seven years with increasing frustration.
"I sit on my front porch and I can see what's going on over there," Humphrey said. "You got your drug addicts and homeless sleeping in there. I know what they're doing because at one time I used drugs and this is the type of place you do that stuff."
But several weeks ago, Humphrey noticed a change at the old boys' home: Tractors started clear-cutting the towering fields of grass as workers prepared the main building for mold, asbestos and lead abatement.
Humphrey still sees the occasional squatter slip into one of the buildings at night, but for the first time since the storm, he sees progress.
The Milne Boys Home opened in 1933, housing orphans and troubled children until it closed in 1986. It was used sporadically over the next two decades as a center for after school and summer programs, eventually falling into a state of disrepair. After Katrina, it never reopened.
In May, FEMA announced it would provide $1.5 million on top of $5.6 million in state and city funds to repair the long-neglected facility. Abatement work began in September on the south and north cottages, the administration building and the gymnasium. It is expected to be completed by November.
The major construction work, including re-roofing, selective demolition and electrical repairs, will be put out to bid next week and is scheduled to be finished next summer.
Monty Burlingame, president of the Milne Trust, which owns the property and leases it to the city, said the work is an important first step, but only solves half of the problem. The buildings will be stabilized, but millions more in build-out costs will be needed before they can be returned to permanent use.
The trust would like to see the campus turned into a charter school and has been in discussions with the Recovery School District and the Orleans Parish School Board, Burlingame said. But nothing has been settled.
"If we get wrapped up in the school system, they can provide the needed funding to build it out," he said.
The city has a long-term contract through April 30, 2031 with the Milne Trust that obligates it to operate the facility to benefit youth, said C. Hayne Rainey, communications manager for Mayor Mitch Landrieu. Using it as a school would presumably fulfill that mandate.
Tommy Ledet, 44, was a Milne resident from 1982 to 1985. He was raised by a single mother of four who worked at Hubig's Pies and did her best to rein in her eldest son, a self-described wild child.
"I was a scared kid who thought he knew every damn thing there was to know and went against every adult who stepped foot in his path," Ledet said. "My mom couldn't do anything with me and I wouldn't listen to anyone. Boys tend to listen to father figures."
Ledet landed in a reform home on Frenchmen Street, escaped, was recaptured and sent to Milne. "I heard all kind of horror stories as a kid. I think everybody who grew up in New Orleans did," Ledet said. "Milne was the last place you wanted to be."
As it turns out, it was the best place for him. The staff, including Superintendent Richard Winder, taught him discipline and showed him people cared about his future, Ledet said.
Winder later served under Mayor Ray Nagin as the director of the Department of Human Services. In that capacity, he was named as a defendant in the lawsuit the Juvenile Justice Project of Louisiana filed against the city on behalf of the children detained at the Youth Study Center.
After Ledet graduated from Milne, he worked as an off-shore cook for oil companies. He is now married, has four children and lives in Orlando. Though Ledet is disabled, depending on a defibrillator after suffering heart damage, he said he is thankful Milne gave him a second opportunity.
He keeps in touch with the staff, including Winder, and has created a Facebook page dedicated to the facility. "I know what I say won't make a difference, but there are people out there who care what happens to that place," Ledet said. "I remember everyone's name there. That's how much they touched me."

And now for the joint party, which we held at Spring Garden Park. The kids jumped, climbed, and played their hearts out in between bites of lunch, opening presents, and birthday cake and pie. Oh and Spider Man also made a special appearance. Happy birthday Autumn and Mia, we enjoyed this week and a half of celebrating both of you wonderful, amazing kiddos!

It's Thanksgiving tomorrow and normally we wait till after to get our tree but December is super busy this year. I have to travel to CA for work and Kitty and I are taking a trip to Vegas to see some shows for my birthday, so we packed up everyone today and headed out to the Christmas tree farm.
We were thankful to have nice weather for Easter again this year. Our day was full with egg dyeing, eating, hunting for eggs and chasing bubbles. Lots of family love to celebrate 🙂
First, the eggs. Careful!
This pretty much sums it up. My kids: crazies. Cousin Cora: cool, calm, collected.
Who doesn't love chasing big bubbles outside?
Luca did a great job helping his cousin find the bubbles
Time for Easter baskets!
And of course, the egg hunt
"I found one!"
Watch out!
We tried to get the obligatory 'cousins on a swing' picture. As you can see, my kids were perfectly behaved the entire time.
And we ALMOST got a perfect family picture. I guess when you're two years old the rules don't apply to you.
Auntie Libby and Cousin Cora had better success with their photo shoot
Photo bomb!
Baby Bartel, soon to join the family in the outside world, enjoyed her Easter too
Take us out, Cora. Power to the flower y'all.
It was Autumn's dinner theater. This year's theme was Country Fair Jamboree! She has been practicing for so long and knew all her songs and dance moves. It was pretty amazing to see her perform.
Our entire family was ready and won the blue ribbon for best dressed!
Autumn had a special singing and dance solo, the barnyard boogie, that we'll post later once we get the video.
There was an auction for the special painting project her class made.
I put Luca in charge of the bidding paddle soooOoo we came home with it
and a giant balloon cow.
Ready for our spring break trip to Sunriver!
After a four hour drive (including vomit all over the carseat on the way over the mountain pass) we made it!
First thing was to test out all of our fun gear with a bike ride to the park
The next day we went to Mount Bachelor for snowboarding, sledding, and in Mia's case, lots of snacking (see previous post)
After the inevitable exhaustion following a trip to the mountain with three kids, the following day we decided to keep it low key with some time at the swim center
We rode bikes everyday, rain or shine
We also explored the nature center
Luca was pleased to see a real red-tailed hawk, his school's mascot
There is also a small observatory, and we were quite impressed with their set up and knowledgable staff. Chris and Luca went back the following evening for some night-time star and planet gazing. They could see Jupiter and its moons!
Although it was still pretty cold most of the time, it was actually quite comfortable in the afternoon sun. Mia tried out a bit of a nap on the deck.
Later in the week Grammie and Pop Pop joined us for a couple of days. After their long drive we decided to get the legs moving with a walk to the park.Autumn conquered the firefighter pole all by herself for the first time!
Then it was off to the local brewery for a yummy (and silly) dinner
The next morning started off with everyone's favorite breakfast – Grammie and Pop Pop's blueberry wafflesFollowed by a nice long bike ride along the Deschutes River
Two little munchkins snuggled quite cozily in the Burley trailer
The grandparents offered to watch the kids while mom and dad went on a date in Bend – woo hoo!
The next day we went on a hike along the Deschutes River to Benham Falls
And among all of the many fun things we did during our vacation, we also found plenty of time for silly snuggles and selfies
and the hot tub!
Tags: family, hike, mountain, outdoors, snowboard, spring break, sunriver, swim, vacation
Family trip to Mt. Bachelor today
Warm-up snack. So many snacks! (great tip Tami ❤)
Luca is all set and very excited to ride the chair lift.
Luca shredding the gnar
Silliness in the sled
Some more snacking
Autumn getting in on the action
More snacking
A great day at the mountain
P.S. I also found out on this trip that apparently my snowboard gear is considered "vintage" 😁

Do you want to play alongside Andy Sheppard and huge numbers of other saxophonists on the opening night of the 2013 Bury Festival?
It doesn't matter whether you are 7 or 77 or whether you have been playing for just a few weeks or whether you are a seasoned professional, or whether you play soprano, alto, tenor or baritone…..you are all welcome.
If yes, then you will be part of Andy Sheppard's Saxophone Massive of hopefully over 100 saxophonists all playing together on the opening night of the Festival (Thurs 16 May 2013). If you are under 16 you will need to be accompanied by a parent or a responsible adult (preferably someone who will also be able to join in as a saxophonist).
Since its first outing in Bristol in 2006, the Saxophone Massive has now appeared at the London Jazz Festival as well as Norwich, Leeds, France, Norway and Switzerland. A documentary was made by the Festival in Norwich which will give you more of an idea and you can watch it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ok8_Z69FeBo

Event Detail
Thu Dec 9, 2010
Howison Library, 4:10–6 PM
|Graduate Research Colloquium
Michael Caie (University of California, Berkeley)
Belief and Paradox
An attractive approach to the semantic paradoxes holds that cases of semantic pathology give rise to indeterminacy. What attitude should a rational agent have towards a proposition that it takes to be indeterminate in this sense? Orthodoxy holds that rationality requires that an agent disbelieve such a proposition. I argue that it is a consequence of some very basic principles of epistemic rationality that if a rational agent believes that a proposition is indeterminate then the agent should be such that it is indeterminate whether it believes the proposition in question. For rational agents, indeterminacy in the objects of their attitudes will filter up to the attitudes themselves.

Education is central to my activities, through delivering workshops in a variety of contexts.
My aim is to communicate the beauty of music to children and older students – to inspire them to develop their own creativity through the process of composing and performing.
Emphasis is placed on attentive listening and creative expression where students will have the opportunity to develop in a group environment. Furthermore, musical traditions from other parts of the world such as Indonesia, Africa, India and Jazz music will be introduced.
This provides a wide range of musical experiences and references for the children, enabling them to learn about another culture, and gives them the opportunity to experience different musical aesthetics.
This will complement their studies of European classical music which is also taught. The children are introduced to a variety of teaching methods that incorporate the traditional teaching perspectives of the culture. The importance of rhythm, form, melody and practice are also explored.
As we start our exploration in music we begin by looking at similarities, much like having a conversation with someone you have just met. The aim is to have fun with music and to play it. The beat of our hearts, the rhythm of tube train sounds - even the sound of someone eating cornflakes!
This is disorganised sound that we would not necessarily call music, but these sounds could be the basis of musical masterpieces when organised by a creative mind.
The children are challenged to develop the techniques involved for musical organisation, and develop their improvisational and compositional skills. The workshops start very simply with fundamentals. They then incorporate more complex teaching material and techniques, including ways to practice.
Where possible the use of video footage of musical performances, making of instruments and other relevant information are used, as well as slide projections and audio recordings to provide a more complete picture of relevant material.
Among the splendours of the world, the sound of the Indonesian Gamelan is truly one of the most spectacular.
On the islands of Java, Bali and Sumatra this ensemble of instruments can be heard in the royal courts in urban centres and in the many towns and villages. Metallaphones, gongs, drums flutes and stringed instruments are combined to offer an aural experience of tremendous beauty and form.
The traditional music learning process in Indonesia is based on imitation. Children absorb the music gradually and naturally – through listening they unconsciously take in the idiom and the formal structures. The children learn the instruments from the simplest to the most complex in a gradual process that allows a broad understanding of the Gamelan structure. Eventually the musician will learn all the instruments and thus experiences the inter-relatedness of each musical part.
Workshops begin by teaching children pieces by memory and then showing them the structure, and then eventually the notation system.
The number of students can vary from 4 to 16. Once the students have a general idea of the music they will be introduced to the more specialised complex instruments such as the bonang, rebab (fiddle) and the suling flute. This will lead naturally into creative improvisation within the Gamelan.
Gamelan music is not solely for listening to – it is a highly integrated form that is combined with the dance dramas, the puppet theatres and the literature from which their stories are derived. Where possible I use video footage and recorded material to convey the depth of these art forms and to introduce the students to the world of the Gamelan.
Jazz music and improvisation are often regarded as synonymous, since one of the key aspects of jazz is the element of spontaneous improvisation.
However the development of the ability to improvise requires techniques that can occur only through long preparation. The ability to hear a melodic line and repeat it on the player's instrument is a pre-requisite to being able to compose spontaneously. This involves ear training, technical and artistic skills, and emulation of master musicians.
The jazz workshops will be pitched at the level of the participants. At the most basic level, ear training, scale and chord combinations will be focused on. Following on from this, musicians will have the opportunity to develop listening and group playing skills.
As well as the standard jazz repertoire, pupils will be encouraged to write their own melodic lines and tunes that will be a vehicle for improvisation.
A brief examination of the most famous jazz musicians reveals that most learned by ear before learning to read musical notation. At the more advanced levels students are shown how to transcribe solos and how to analyse them for melodic, harmonic and rhythmic content. The workshops will also concentrate on the development of a "musical voice" which includes tone production, phrasing and musical vocabulary.
Videos and recorded material will be used to show the range of jazz and the various methods of improvisation.
Music is integrated into every aspect of African life. Just like religion, music and dance penetrate every level of existence.
Much music is a communal activity and the acquisition of musical sounds and genres occurs through social experience.
Today African music is known and respected for its complex polyrhythmic base and its multi-layered polyphonic music with different meters and accents creating an intricate webbing of sound. In Africa there are as many musics as there are languages. There are at least 514 officially recognised languages and many more hidden ones.
In these workshops I concentrate on the polyphonic interlocking xylophone music of the Bugandan and Busogan peoples of Uganda.
The Amadinda Orchestra consists of a large xylophone played by three people, three drums, a set of four panpipes, and a vocalist. The amadinda provides the foundation of the musical activity in which the other instruments reinforce.
I also explore the horn music of the Alur peoples of Nebbi in North West Uganda. This comprises five to twenty horn players blowing different pitched horns to create melodies. I also focus on the general characteristics of African traditional music, making reference to Pygmy music and Bambara harp music.
For these workshops video footage and audio examples are used where possible to explain and demonstrate the musical material.
Here are some comments and feedback from the staff about Byron's three day workshop at William C. Harvey, a special needs school in Tottenham. These workshops took place in February 2007 in collaboration with Creative Partnerships, North London.
It was great to have the time to do it – we need to timetable it … part of the way it is. Byron kept it creative and lively for a longer time. We do this, but it is hard to keep it up … how can we do this? Great equipment – better if it could be more sensitive – the drum one was good. It was really good – working together – different abilities. The mixed groups worked really well so the children can support each other. It was fun, tiring …
We worked in our way, but we could now do it more intensively – other people in the school could really learn a lot from working like this. There were practical issues – time. I loved doing the silence bits, and I see how the kids respond, but 'cos it was the end of the day, we needed to clear things away … and that's the reality of our school day. It was really tiring. Come Friday, the room was a mess … but it was worth it. I was frustrated 'cos we didn't record some really good stuff. How can we catch it all? The days and the work were motivating for the students. Overall, there was a sense of immersion in each medium … attained through time and the senses. It was more efficient than other work I have seen in the school.
The music stimulated the voices – the peers also stimulated each other. This creativity was a gateway to empowerment. Byron did that with stimulation and permission. The staff appeared to be more relaxed in this environment than in the usual school day. There was a sense of inclusion … of staff and students. Staff and pupils being creative together – the gateway I was talking about … Fantastic … I really enjoyed it (personally). I wish I could put it into the curriculum, but I don't know how.
What I loved was that Byron finds a way to communicate with everyone – staff and students. You can tell him how you feel and then you talk it through and sort it. I loved it for my students, I loved the earth music work – it was great to see all the faces – lots of smiles. Freedom – out on the floor. All were involved. The atmosphere was amazing. It was wonderful how the students were helping and supporting each other. The work between the students was lovely to see. All staff were involved and happy. The equipment was amazing – I want to use it, and I want to know how to use it – we need training, I was knackered, but it was amazing. I want to see more of this in the school. We saw much difference in the students. When we had the silences, it got the voices going better than usual because we gave them more time. If we had that regularly, it would really help – it's different.
We do music, but Byron used instruments and gadgets which we don't have … brought out more in the students and staff. Byron's approach is different. He got something musically continuous going on, and he allowed the students to have their voice to make more music. This is a good way to work with these children. It was great in the swimming pool and on the trampoline – responding to their own voices which had been recorded in previous sessions and put on a CD I Can Hear Me and then respond to it. It was absolutely … I don't have words about the way Byron works with the students.
I liked the way he introduced it – gave students a chance and time. He was always smiling, approaching and motivating the students. He was happy for the students to play his trumpet and shells – which was great. It was excellent when the children did their voices on the microphone. The children who you don't think would do anything, they made sounds. He made it into a great CD – so we could hear each other and ourselves and work with it. Working in different spaces worked well. It was different to usual because we used different multi-sensory props, responding to their voices.
One of the children's mum was there for a bit … and she looked so excited and surprised at what her child was doing, and what other children were doing. It was great to hear the sounds all put together – as music. The children were singing in their own way. It was good and different and we need it. It was very fitting – the way it was put together. The sounds and music that was to collaborate with the different elements, the effects we used enhanced the environment – making it more real. The way the more able students supported the less able, the way we all pulled together was like one big team (staff and students). Byron enabled the less vocal students to have more space to be heard. This was brought about a lot with silence. It was great to have that quality time to mix with another group, to have togetherness.
Byron's instruments and gadgets helped bring things together. His knowledge about music also did this. I still think this was the best medium for my students. Everyone had a chance to join in. We ALL gave and took and compromised really well. Byron's expertise made everything connect. He made us all feel comfortable to express. I felt we all had some kind of ownership of these three days. Staff and students were put in situations which challenged them, used the many skills we already have, empowered them. Peer advocacy has a big part to play in enabling our students to express their voices. Through this wonderful musical journey, Byron facilitated this beautifully in the different groupings, the choice of instruments and technology, and the way he guided the students' contributions.
It was particularly lovely to see the students feeling confident to express themselves, interact and be sensitive with each other, and each other's communications. Byron created an environment – communicatively; physically; musically; allowing space, time, respect; which was supportive of students and staff creatively allowing us all to explore our voices/feelings – without words. I found the practice of silence and stillness each day really magical – it was great to be given permission to do this as it is so effective on so many levels and I am certain it had a big impact on everyone. It particularly allowed the less vocal students the freedom to be heard in an environment which usually never stops, and is never quiet; and the more vocal students to stop and listen to each other. A lot of staff found this difficult, but it seemed to get easier each day. We all saw – and heard how important this is for the students, as well as ourselves. We need to allow for this in the school day.
The technology that was used was great – it was extremely accessible for all of the students. It followed the principles of cause and effect, anticipation – the way the big mack switches do. But it took the work we do in this area to another level … allowing all of us to be much more creative and imaginative with using our voices and movements – as valid in their own right, as well as creating beautiful pieces of music.

For Windows, I've been using AVG anti-virus software for
some time. Although I've never had a problem (that I know of)
that AVG didn't stop, I know of several people who have been
hit with viruses despite using AVG. To be fair, I don't think
they had updated their signature files since AVG was
installed on their PCs so maybe that's why they were
infected. Or not. I don't know.
But for the Xandros Linux 3.01 Deluxe that I'm now using,
the standard seemed to be F-Prot. But, as far as I know,
F-Prot is a command line utility scanner. That is, it's not
always running to check for on access problems so it can't
protect against infections, only identify one once you're
already infected. If I'm mistaken on this, please let me know
how to configure it to do otherwise.
But I recently found it that AVG
is available
in RPM and tar.gz formats for i386 Linux systems. I haven't
installed it yet and I don't know if this is also a command
line utility but, at least, there's another option for Linux.
More when I know more.

Going Big Brother on your house
Apps let homeowners control more than just lights
I still struggle to figure out how to use the one light timer my family plugs in when we go away for more than a night.
Imagine my surprise when I found out that plastic piece of equipment is embarrassingly out of date.
That's because you can now control your lights, your security system, your thermostat, your drapes — heck, you can watch the inside of the house with cameras — all with a touch of your Apple device or Android phone. Put simply, you plug your home devices into equipment that can beam the information to your hand-held device, typically through apps that are free.
The only thing that's seemingly left out is flushing the toilet remotely or having a robot start your dinner before you get home.
There are various systems for going Big Brother on your house. If you employ everything available to you the cost can be more than $1,000. If you just want to be able to turn on a light before you get home, you will only have to spend a couple of hundred dollars.
Time Warner Cable has a product called IntelligentHome in which you pay a fee monthly to monitor the house. If you're already a Time Warner Cable Internet customer, a package the company is currently offering costs $33.99 a month for the security system, two door sensors and one motion sensor. It would cost $99.99 to set up if you don't already have a hard-wired security system. Then, every piece of equipment that you want to use to monitor something has a cost. For example, a switch control for one light costs $99. Time Warner also offers a carbon monoxide detector, smoke detector, even flood and glass break sensors.
But other systems you can install yourself, like the kind Insteon makes. In that system, you pay for each piece of equipment that controls your appliances and then you get what's called a hub that speaks to all of equipment through a radio signal and relays it to your phone.
The Insteon hub is selling for $129 on the website Smarthome, in addition to $29 for a special Insteon light bulb or $49 for a light dimmer. If you want to really take it up a notch, you can purchase the freezer failure sensor for $50 that can tell you if your refrigerator stops working, or equipment that can open and close specially purchased curtains for $157.99. There is also a leak sensor that can tell your phone if there's water on the floor in your bathroom.
Belkin has a series of products called WeMo that doesn't require the use of a hub. The equipment you plug your appliances into communicates with your mobile device through the Wi-Fi in your home. One of the most intriguing products is WeMo Baby, a baby monitor that allows you to listen to your baby on your phone. For an upgrade, you can receive text alerts that let you know when the baby is crying. The baby monitor was recently selling for $69.99 on Belkin's website.
Other products include a WeMo motion sensor for $59.99 and light switch for $49.99. You can also purchase a switch and motion sensor combination for $79.99 that allows you to turn on an appliance in a room, most likely a light, as you walk past the sensor.
One system that seems gratuitous, but totally cool, is Philips Hue, a lighting system that allows you to not only control your lights remotely, but to change their color depending on your mood. You have to purchase Philips special bulbs and a hub to communicate with the bulbs wirelessly. Philips even allows you to pick out your favorite photos, let's say of a sunset on your beach vacation, and attempt to recreate the light in the photo through your smart bulbs. A starter kit that includes three bulbs and the hub is $199.95, sold exclusively through Apple. Each bulb is $59.95.
Now excuse me, I have to go watch my house on the phone. Perhaps I'll catch a glimpse of the gremlin that's been stealing and hiding my son's socks.

This week has just FLOWN by. Time flies when you have lots to do. That's a good thing. I've got the contribution statements ready to mail… and tomorrow is Friday (my favorite day of the week) – can it get any better?
Jodi and I have been talking about going to see "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button". I heard that it's looonnnggg. Jodi has a tendency to take some of her better siestas in the movie theater, so if it's not really good… she'll be sleeping like a babe.
I had to wake her up during (my favorite part – Legolas swing mounting his horse during battle) the "The Lord of the Rings" at the IMAX!! (Who falls asleep at the IMAX? Jodi.)
I can't tell you how many times I've caught her sleeping at the movies. I don't think she watched 30 minutes of "Bicentennial Man".
Ok, can't really blame her for that. That was one LONG, STRANGE movie.
One time we went on a Sunday afternoon - after having eaten Mexican food for lunch - and she was pretty much in a coma during all of "Pride and Prejudice", which I loved!
Anyway, the only way she'll stay awake is if this movie is REALLY good. What do y'all think? Any opinions??

There is also a 50TB Hadoop cluster available as part of the Discovery Cluster and several large memory nodes for very large memory simulations on the 10Gb/s backplane.In addition compute nodes "compute-1-064 to compute-1-127" have a FDR 56 Gb/s Infiniband (IB) backplane with Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) enabled for RDMA enabled applications using IB-VERBS. The IB network controller is Mellanox Technologies MT27500 Family [ConnectX-3]. The IB-VERBS API particular implementation for Mellanox is available here. In general to use the RDMA enabled backplane you must have a RDMA enabled application like NAMD or Gromacs or modify an existing application using the IB-VERBS API. One can also use TCP/IP on the faster 56Gb/s IB backplane as the Infiniband fabric is also configured for IPOIB mode. Thus "non-RDMA enabled" regular TCP/IP based MPI applications that are I/O intensive may benefit from the increased 56Gb/s speed and the relatively lower latencies in the FDR IPOIB backplane (when compared with the 10Gb/s speed and latencies on the 10G Ethernet backplane).
The standard backplane on all the compute nodes including the FDR IB nodes (compute-1-064 to compute-1-127) is 10 Gb/s TCP/IP.
The login and compute nodes mount /home (1 TB) using NFS v3 export from a Isilon NAS storage array using the 10Gb/s TCP/IP backplane. /home is where user directories lie and each user has a 30 GByte quota (hard limit) and 20 GByte soft limit. The IBM GSS 26 GPFS PARALLEL FILE SYSTEM provides /shared and /scratch (/gss_gpfs_scratch). /shared is for cluster software provided through modules. /scratch is for user data during computational runs after which the data must be removed, and is only for temporary use by users. Every user should use no more than 500GB of /scratch and users should "rsync" (preferred) or "sftp" their data out when done. /scratch is not for long term storage so extended use of it over three weeks is against usage policy. Further details of the 1.5PB GSS-GPFS Parallel System is here.
Each compute node has ~700 GBytes local disk space that can also be used temporarily for user data during computational runs, but after a run completes the data must be removed.
GPU Nodes: Discovery Cluster also has 48 GPU nodes. In each of the 32 nodes (compute-2-128 to compute-2-159) there is a NVIDIA Tesla K20m GPU with 2496 computing cuda cores. Details about this GPU are here. The 32 GPU servers have their own queue, with similar processor and memory configuration as the other regular compute nodes. These GPU servers are on the 10Gb/s TCP/IP backplane. There are 16 more compute nodes with a NVIDIA Tesla K40m GPU each (compute-2-160-compute-2-175). In addition there are 8 compute nodes each with 8 NVIDIA Tesla K80m GPU's and 0.5TB of RAM.
Full details of all the compute nodes, large memory compute nodes, and a 50TB Hadoop cluster configuration is available here.
For a summary of the Discovery Cluster configuration go here.
The Discovery Cluster is located in Massachusetts Green High Performance Computing Center (MGHPCC) in Holyoke, MA. Northeastern University has joined with four other leading institutions – MIT, the University of Massachusetts, Boston University, and Harvard University – as well as the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, the City of Holyoke, EMC and Cisco Systems in a historic project towards the development of a world-class, high-performance academic research computing facility in Holyoke MA, and a statewide collaborative computational research, education and outreach program. This center – the Massachusetts Green High Performance Computing Center (MGHPCC) – is powered by a combination of green and cost-competitive energy, making it a cost-effective and environmentally sound facility.
The MGHPCC serves not only as a collocation facility for the hardware supporting the computational research needs of the individual academic institutions, but also represent a unique opportunity to serve as:
A collaborative facility for strengthening the state's leadership in the development and application of high performance computing (HPC) in addressing major challenges facing society.
A facility for advancing and showcasing both the research and practice of green computing and smart grids.
A catalyst for the development of the IT industry throughout Massachusetts with economic, educational and workforce development benefits to the city of Holyoke, western Massachusetts, and beyond.
The 90,300 sq.ft. data center facility is located on an 8.6 acre plot in the downtown Holyoke canal district. The flexible design of the facility supports up to 10 MW of HPC equipment through two phases in the first 10 years, with space on-site for further expansion. The partner institutions will benefit from the use of inexpensive hydro-electric power, a low PUE green facility design, a modern, controlled facility with high-speed connectivity, and opportunities for shared services and collaboration with other institutions. Other green features of the facility include brownfield reuse, better cooling due to higher temperature operation, higher efficiency from 400V power use, and options to use canal water for cooling. The facility also has flexible meeting and classroom areas and serves as a hub for education and outreach activities for the partner universities, local colleges and the Holyoke community. The facility connects back to the Northeastern main campus via multiple dedicated 10Gbps optical fibre connections.
Further details are on the MGHPCC web site here.
Northeastern researchers will be able to make use of the facility for their research computing needs, with various support options. The University maintains the shared HPC infrastructure (Discovery cluster and attached storage) in the facility for use by all researchers through fair-share job scheduling. Researchers can also leverage this shared system in grant proposals. In addition, researchers can "buy in" to the shared system and add resources for a free. In return for their incremental investment, they will receive commensurate compute cycles through a preferential queue. Where required, researchers will have access to a dedicated service option, where equipment purchased by the researcher will be hosted and maintained centrally by the University, for use only by the researcher and designees.
Alternatively, researchers may purchase and maintain their HPC equipment themselves, though it is hosted at the MGHPCC facility. The support models associated with these service options for use at the MGHPCC facility, along with the funding and chargeback options can be obtained by contacting NU Research Computing here. The MGHPCC collaboration also provides the partner institutions and their researchers with new means to work together on the complex and pressing research problems of the day, including major cross-collaborative initiatives by the consortium in cyber-security and big data. Collaborative research initiatives in the past few months include a $2.3 million NSF Major Research Instrumentation grant, a $52 million NSF Track 2 proposal, $4.46 million for big-data research from the Massachusetts Life Sciences Center and a Massachusetts Open Cloud initiative under investigation. $1.2 million in seed funds have been allocated for collaborative research by consortium researchers. Northeastern University is also involved, along with its partners, in education and outreach efforts with community colleges, non-profits and entrepreneurs in the Holyoke Valley area. The collaborations are leading to joint seminars, courses and proposals in the educational space, including an electronic textbook grant from NSF, as well as several educational proposals that are currently under review by NSF.

The new process Validation life cycle is now split up into 3 stages:
1. Process design
2. Process Qualification
3. Continued Process Verification
The new "catchword" is process understanding. Trends should be evaluated in the Stage 3.
One element to show process understanding and to monitor trends can be Statistical Process Control.
On the one hand the seminar will explain the theory of control charts e.g. how to calculate and read them. On the other hand the seminar will explore how to practically apply Control Charts, e.g. implementing control charts in production or QC and setting up a good review process. This balance of class room sessions and exercises supports a hands-on approach to manage and use Control Charts in different environments, like validation and process improvement.
Examples and case studies from the experience of the speakers will give evidence of the success and possibilities the use of Control Charts adds to your enterprise. Additionally, there is a view on the software for SPC and its GMP relevance.
With the new FDA Guidance on Process Validation of January 2011 the FDA gives a new interpretation of validation. Not more than 3 validation batches are the evidence that a process is valid. The FDA now expects a validation life cycle with Continued Process Verification throughout the commercial phase. This is the same in the revised Annex 15 in the EU. Also the EMA stated in a Question and Answer paper, that they focus on continuous validation too. Both authorities mention that a process is in statistical control and capable. One element to show this is Statistical Process Control (SPC) as mentioned by the FDA.
Also in the ICH Q9 document "Quality Risk Management" control charts and process capability are mentioned as statistical possibilities within risk assessments.
This course is directed to staff who is involved in process understanding and optimization (e.g. process owners, validation managers, etc.) in R&D, production and quality control. It also addresses quality assurance staff.
Note: The number of participants is limited.
Practical trainings give the delegates the information about how control charts are used to optimise processes.
The delegates will set up a control chart (initial study). This chart will then be used to monitor a process (control to standard) and to detect changes and to analyse potential causes.
An additional workshop shows Dos and Don'ts and how to get the commitment of superiors and other teammates.

Getting my yard ready for Early Spring
I love to use Old Vintage Items in my yard
We have been having some very warm days. Too early
for anything planting but getting the flowers beds ready to
plant in. Mostly I plant in flower pots. But do have a flower
bed where the plants come back from seeds every year.
Bought this iron bed at a resale shop and going to use it in
yard or add to a flower bed. I have this star that I'm fixing to
paint like it like an America flag. I saw a Star painted like that
it was very pretty too. I do love red white and blue.
Below is just some yard junk I came across that I had
over at my other home. I think I maybe add some paint.
And add them to my other collections of vintage yard art.
I love old rusty items. I love all vintage rusty items to add
where I have flower pots and hang up on my outdoor buildings
This spot in front of a storage building I had some very pretty
flowers ther last year and I am excited to see I have lots of
new plants already. They love the cold weather to start there
new plants. I have had this iron bed for years. Beside my Texas
painted like a Texas flag is where I am going to hang my star
it will be painted like an America flag.
Last summer these small pots were filled with flowers
Some are still hanging in there even after lows in the 20's
See the small green plants on the ground. It's where the seeds
fell and now small plants are coming up. I am so happy to see
this as I love these old home stead type flowers. They are so
pretty with colors.
