Linda T. Vahdat, M.D.
I only care for those with breast cancer. Within breast cancer my major interest is in metastatic disease or high risk adjuvant. The reason for this is that I am involved in many new therapies to treat existing breast cancer as well as strategies to reduce the risk of relapse of breast cancer that has not recurred.
Another research interest of mine is to understand and hopefully impact the development of chemotherapy induced peripheral neuropathy.
Dr. Linda Vahdat is a Professor of Medicine, Director of the Breast Cancer Research Program and Chief of the Solid Tumor Service at Weill Cornell Medical College. After completing undergraduate studies at Barnard College/Columbia University, she attended medical school and completed her Internal Medicine training at Mount Sinai Hospital in NY. She then completed a fellowship in Hematology and Medical Oncology at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, also in NY. Her expertise is in breast cancer and she is involved in the conceptualization, design and conduct of Phase I through III clinical trials mostly in high-risk adjuvant and metastatic breast cancer. Other major research interests include include strategies to understand and prevent metastases, evaluation of new therapies to control breast cancer and chemotherapy induced peripheral neuropathy. She has been very involved in the American Society of Clinical Oncology since 1994, participating on several committees including the Education Committee, Health Services Research Committee and was co-chair for the ASCO Breast Symposium for 2010. She is also on the Executive board of Cancer Care, Inc since 2005 and was awarded their "Physician of the Year award in 2002 and the Humanitarian Award by Cancer Care of Connecticut in 2007 for her volunteer work with the organization. She is reviewer for a number of peer-reviewed journals including Journal of Clinical Oncology and Clinical Cancer Research.

Five Missy Elliott tracks placed on our list of the best singles of the decade. [Photo: Atlantic Records]
It's more than a little bit ironic that the decade that began with the commercial single seemingly gasping its last dying breath would end with it being the dominating format. Tellingly, Billboard placed the invention of the iPod—the King of iPop, if you will—above the death of Michael Jackson on its list of the Top 50 Moments of the Decade: The ever-evolving gadget revolutionized the way we consume and listen to music. Some of us still cling to the album as an art form, and next week we'll unveil our list of 100 reasons why the long-player is still vital, but the single is as relevant today as it was when Billboard used to track jukeboxes. Mariah Carey's "We Belong Together"—which, according to the industry Bible, was the decade's biggest single—is a testament to the enduring power of the radio hit: "Come-back, come-back" went the prophetic background hook. The decade saw its share of one-hit wonders (Daniel Powter, Soulja Boy Tell 'Em, Blu Cantrell), novelty hits (Baha Men's "Who Let the Dogs Out?"), and novelty hits by one-hit wonders (again, Baha Men), and Jay-Z gave Kanye West a run for his money when it came to guest-rapper ubiquity. In fact, Jay's number of appearances on this list is second only to Missy Elliott, who is, impressively, the main artist on all five of her singles here. Put simply: hip-hop dominated. And everyone secretly fancied themselves a disco star. Sal Cinquemani
[Editor's Note: Head on over to The House Next Door to see # 101 – 250 and to listen to the entire list.]
100. M.I.A., "Sunshowers." I first heard M.I.A.'s "Sunshowers" at, of all places, a Matthew Williamson fashion show. A runway is not the venue you expect to hear about gun culture, the Iraq War, the PLO, snipers, racial profiling, and sweatshops, but those are just some of the topics that M.I.A. managed to squeeze into the three-minute sophomore single from her debut album Arular. That and a sunshiny pop hook lifted from Dr. Buzzard's Original Savannah Band's oft-sampled disco hit "Sunshower." SC
99. Arcade Fire, "Keep the Car Running." If his spill at the Super Bowl halftime show and the entirety of Working on a Dream suggest that it might be time to put Bruce Springsteen out to pasture, "Keep the Car Running" suggests that he may have unlikely successors in the kids of Arcade Fire. With its slowly escalating backbeat and its singular mandolin riff, combined with a naked desire to escape from unspecified traps and its on-the-verge narrative, the single is one of the decade's finest examples of Americana without the self-seriousness or monotony that tag implies. Jonathan Keefe
98. Ciara, "Like a Boy." With synthesized strings lifted from Vivaldi and a chorus that glides as slickly as a boy sneaking under his girlfriend's bedcovers at dawn, Ciara's role-reversing "Like a Boy" might be the sexiest revenge fantasy ever. Though her voice is pitched down like a serial killer in a horror film ("What, you mad? Can't handle that?"), she ultimately plays a superhero—only she dons a pair of boy jeans instead of a cape. SC
97. The Ting Tings, "That's Not My Name." It makes a certain kind of warped sense that the decade's most unlikely, slowest-burning hit (it cracked the U.S. Top 40 more than a year after it entered the U.K. singles chart) would be a swinging, shouty, danceable, shoegazy feminist anthem, the illegitimate daughter of Toni Basil and My Bloody Valentine. Why not? In a decade when music could hopscotch across the Internet, bypassing actual markets and traditional taste arbiters, musicians could chart a path to chart success through blogs and word of mouth and a prayer, and this song's type of strange novelty became even more of a strength. Really, the surprise is that no one has licensed it to become a cheer routine on Glee or a commercial for hairspray yet. Dave Hughes
96. Gorillaz, "Clint Eastwood." Within the brief window when the Gorillaz's cartoon faux-anonymity didn't seem like a silly gimmick, also came their most lasting contribution, a delirious meeting between Damon Albarn's plaintive yarl and Del the Funky Homosapien's chunky verses, which butt up against each other atop a tangled landscape of thick-sliced bass and minor-chord piano. Jesse Cataldo
95. Ludacris, "Roll Out (My Business)." When Ludacris crossed over by making mock of those asking him, "Who's your housekeeper? What you keep in that house?," I hadn't laughed so hard since Destiny's Child's cover of Samantha Sang's "Emotion." A novelty song disguised as a diss track, or vice-versa, "Rollout (My Business)" is an aural circus, in which Timbaland's lumbering calypso riffs match perfectly with Luda's pitch-vague slant rhymes. It takes a true cracked genius to pair "diamonds in it" with "windows tinted." And I know I'm not the only one who spent most of the decade trying to figure out what he got in that case. Eric Henderson
94. Bat for Lashes, "Daniel." Bat for Lashes a.k.a. Natasha Khan's love-torn "Daniel," from her impressive sophomore effort Two Suns, features all of the singer-songwriter's dramatic charm to which we had grown accustomed, but it's delivered in a decidedly sleeker, more accessible, and simultaneously modern and retro new-new wave package that would be as equally at home blasting from a boombox in the mid-'80s as it would playing over the "marble movie skies" of some late 21st-century film's ending credits. SC
93. Coldplay, "Clocks." Name your children Apple and Moses and you cop to having Miranda Julyism. This is not unlike Coldplay's distinctly English and unquestionably vanilla music, so unthreatening but intriguingly teasing at times—asking for trouble without ever really causing it. On "Clocks," the band's finest song, Chris Martin's grandiose sincerity of feeling gives the grade-school lyrics a haunting import, an impression amplified by the unforgettably heart-racing piano riff of the song's sterling soundscape. Like swimming in a dream you'd never have, but a dream worth swimming in nonetheless. Ed Gonzalez
92. The Streets, "Weak Become Heroes." This tune probably reminds a lot of people of their first E. At once a pitch-perfect evocation of rave nostalgia (that looping piano, those warm ascending pads, the stuttering vocal sample) and an unsentimental acknowledgment that the communal joy of a rave, and of raving as a lifestyle, is both beautiful and fleeting, it's a sort of joyous hangover. Mike Skinner's sober, steady, insightful reflection is in itself a kind of rejoinder to the sorts of laws he fingers in his conclusion's still bracingly abrupt return to conscious reality. DH
91. Cut Copy, "Hearts on Fire." Some of the most talented remixers of the late aughties took aim at this song. Calvin Harris stripped out the disco and upped the amperage, juicing the riffs onto the world's more angular dance floors. Holy Ghost! took things the other way, easing the beat and sprawling across it languorous saxophone and hypnotic piano. Aeroplane excelled just by setting all their phasers on "drama" and pressing play. But while there were many worthy challengers, there could be only one—and ultimately, to Cut Copy's credit, no one managed to surpass their original's unlikely collision of windswept post-punk drama and ass-shaking freestyle sass.

The Marriage of Maria Braun (Die Ehe der Maria Braun)
The film that elevated German director Rainer Werner Fassbinder from domestic approbation to international acclaim, The Marriage of Maria Braun stars the director's on-and-off favorite actress Hanna Schygulla in the title role. During the allied siege of Germany in the last year of the war, Maria's new husband (Klaus Löwitsch) is shipped off to the Russian front before the marriage is consummated. As she struggles to survive wartime deprivations, Maria haunts the local train station, seeking out information concerning her husband. When it appears that she's a widow, Maria takes a job as a barmaid and befriends a black soldier (George Byrd) from the occupying allied troops, who sees to it that Maria's family receives vital food and supplies. The opportunistic Maria eventually takes a job with a wealthy importer (Ivan Desny), building herself up to a position of power and indispensability. Though she sleeps with her employer, Maria still carries a torch for her husband.~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

If your favorite '90s band is one of the few that didn't mount a tour that's passing through Middle Tennessee (see Sugar Ray, Tonic, Better Than Ezra, Cracker, Fastball), then local active rock station 102.9 "The Buzz" has your back.
Their "Grungestock" event mashes together four cover bands: Ten, BadMotorFinger, Facelift and Take the Power Back, who respectively pay tribute to Pearl Jam, Soundgarden (and Temple of the Dog), Alice in Chains and Rage Against the Machine.
Take the Power Back — a Nashville-based, all-female outfit — is one we've been urged not to miss.

Our usability and design teams ensure our customers the best project from the start, with end user input and engaging design. By taking accessibility issues into consideration at the beginning of a project, Section 508 compliance is not an afterthought.
For web-based software applications, we make sites conform to both the software and web Section 508 accessibility standards, ensuring that functions can be executed from a keyboard and maintaining focus so that assistive technology can track focus and focus changes.
We make the identity, operation, and state of interface elements available to assistive technology. We design pages that respect user-selected display attributes, such as resizable text. We ensure that color is not used as the only means of conveying information.
For forms, we properly adjust the layout and add labels to allow users of assistive technology to access the information and complete the forms.
We provide text equivalents for non-text elements. We develop synchronized scripts for multimedia presentations. We design web pages so that information conveyed with color is also available without color. We organize documents so that they are readable without any style sheet or with style sheets brought to bear by the user.
We convert server-side image maps to the more accessible client-side image maps, providing sufficient cues in the tabbable regions so that users can make informed navigational choices.
We identify data tables (as opposed to tables used for layout) and add the proper row and column headers in order to facilitate navigation between cells. Where the tables are logically complex, we insert the necessary cell mark-up.
For sites that use frames, we title them properly to keep the user informed about location. We assess animations for flicker frequency and make necessary adjustments. In addition to adding necessary mark-up to graphical sites, we implement text-only device-independent versions of the pages that are updated when the regular pages are changed. These text versions provide the ultimate in access for a wide range of assistive technologies.
Where scripting languages, most commonly JavaScript, are used to display content, we ensure that the information is available to assistive technology. When page content is displayed using applets or plug-ins, we evaluate whether an accessible display method is available and whether the content, such as a Flash animation, is designed to work with that method. If it is not, we redesign animated page content to work with assistive technology. We evaluate and adjust timed responses to allow the user to request more time.

Dutch artist Cyril Lixenberg (b. 1932) was commissioned to create Steel Water, by the Grand Rapids Fluoridation Commemorative Committee and the West Michigan Dental Foundation. The monumental abstract sculpture, erected in 2007 on the downtown Grand Rapids riverfront, honors the City of Grand Rapids' pioneering role in advancing global health in 1945 by becoming the world's first city to fluoridate its public water supply.
The 33-foot tall sculpture made of blue painted corten steel is well known in Grand Rapids, but Lixenberg made several other objects that also bear the name Steel Water. The artist considers his graphic work to be inseparably linked to his three-dimensional sculptures. The drawings, screenprints, steel plates, and sculptural maquette within this exhibition reveal his process of exploring opposition in form, line, shape, orientation, and color. All works have been generously lent by Grand Valley State University.

Lixenberg is a familiar member of Michigan's artistic community. Steel Water is his third major public sculpture commission in West Michigan, and his prints and monumental steel works can be seen across Europe and the United States.
Cyril Lixenberg: The Story of Steel Water is part of a region-wide celebration of Lixenberg's art and life. Satellite exhibitions of specific aspects of Lixenberg's art will be shown at institutions across West Michigan, including Calvin College's Center Art Gallery, the Muskegon Museum of Art, Saugatuck Center for the Arts, and GVSU.

Event Name: Xmas Race
Event Location: Mustit Raceway, Norway
Event Date(s): December 22, 2012 to December 23, 2012
Team Associated was handed a big win by a small driver in Mustit Raceway, Norway.
The conditions on the track were a little bit more slippery than usual. The Team was a little bit smaller than usual, too, with the addition of Daniel Kobbevik, 8 years old.
After three rounds of qualifying, Daniel had TQ'd in 2WD Stadium Truck with his T4.1; Niklas Roos TQ'd 2WD Buggy with his AE B4.1 Worlds Car (Daniel in third place); Joakim Nicolaysen TQ'd 4WD Buggy with his B44.1 (Daniel in second place with his B44.2); and Oyvind Rasch Olsen TQ'd 4WD Short Course with his Team Durango truck (Daniel in second place).
Daniel Kobbevik ran the gauntlet in the driver's stand for hours, race after race, class after class. Finally, legs shaking in fatigue, he ended up taking three wins out of four, and placed second in the 2WD class behind Niklas Roos.
Team Associated made it to the top the podium in all four classes at the final race in Norway for 2012.
Daniel's results:
RC10T4.1, 1st place
Team Associated congratulates Daniel Kobbevik and Niklas Roos for their big wins!

EL SEGUNDO, Calif. – Raytheon announced July 9 it has been awarded a $279.4 million cost-plus-incentive-fee contract by the U.S. Navy to conduct the Technology Development phase of the Navy's Next Generation Jammer program.
"We believe the Navy's choice validates Raytheon's leadership in advanced electronic attack systems and technologies," said Rick Yuse, president of Raytheon's Space and Airborne Systems business. "Raytheon looks forward to building on our long-standing relationship with the U.S. Navy as we provide the warfighter with innovative and reliable Next Generation Jammer solutions now and for many years to come."
Raytheon leveraged knowledge and experience as a leading tactical weapon systems integrator to provide an affordable, low-risk, comprehensive NGJ solution to the U.S. Navy. Raytheon also leveraged its Gallium nitride based AESA technologies to provide warfighters with enhanced electronic attack capabilities.
"Raytheon provided the U.S. Navy with an innovative and efficient design capable of jamming current and future threats," said Yuse. "Our technology approach met the program requirements and leveraged our industry team's extensive experience in combat-proven, high-reliability agile-beam RF systems designed for demanding carrier-based aircraft environments."
NGJ will replace the ALQ-99 tactical jamming system currently on the Navy's EA-18G Growler tactical airborne electronic attack aircraft.
Raytheon's Space and Airborne Systems business, based in McKinney, Texas, will lead the Technology Development phase of the NGJ program with collaboration from Raytheon facilities in El Segundo, Calif.; Forest, Miss.; Dallas, Texas; Fort Wayne, Ind.; Largo, Fla.; and Andover, Mass.

But Humble Camp resident Iva Nell Haymaker protested the increase, as she believed it to be unfair.
She pointed out that for out-of-city limits customers, the rates have always been one-and-a-half times the in-town rates.
She said the city residents get a 75-cent increase, and the out-of-city residents get a $7.62 increase for water, hardly a one-and-a-half increase over the in-town rate.
However, Councilwoman Karen Watts said the one-and-a-half difference had been only on each 1,000 gallons after the first 2,000 gallons. Heard said the out-of-city base rate had not been one-and-a-half more for years.
The water and sewer rates for city residents had increased 75 cents to bring the rate up to $22. The out-of-city rate was $25.38 and was increased $7.62 to bring the rate to $33, which is one-and-a-half times the in-town rate.
"I think you could arrange a more fair and equitable rate," Haymaker said.
She said it wasn't fair for out of city people to cover for city residents because out-of-city residents can't vote for council members.
Mayor Joey Heard said the rate was set to cover the cost of getting water and sewer out of the city limits to the people.
And Councilman Dale Skrobarcek said the high out-of-city rate was in lieu of city taxes that out-of-city residents don't pay.
Haymaker said the difference was too much.
She said she wouldn't mind being annexed if she could get the in-city rates.
However, Skrobarcek pointed out that where she lived was not contiguous to the city limits, which is prohibitive of annexation.
Haymaker said she was tired of paying $100 a month for water and sewer.
Watts said that amount is about what she pays in town.
The initial vote was 2-2 with Councilman Frank Hosey and Skrobarcek voting against the increase.
Councilwoman Wanda Dukes and Watts voted for the increase.
The tie vote was broken by Heard, who voted for the increase.
The increase goes into effect on May 1. Out-of-city customers will see the increase on their utility bills at the end of May.
In other city business, the council entered executive closed session to consider termination of water department employee Stephen Schuster as recommended by water superintendent Gabriel Morales.
Schuster was placed on administrative leave without pay April 17.
After the closed session, the council voted unanimously to terminate Schuster for evidence they reviewed, including conduct unbecoming of a city employee, not good public service, insubordination and tardiness.
Councilman Lenny Anzaldua was absent from the meeting.
The council also opted to not increase game room machine permit fees.
Currently, the city levies a $500 fee per machine.

A pioneering mandolin player, Sam Bush modernized bluegrass in the 1970s to the point of having his style coined "newgrass." True to form, Bush adds numerous stylistic nuances into the bluegrass template on 2004's KING OF MY WORLD. Here he moves from a traditional reading of Grandpa Jones's "Eight More Miles to Louisville" and the instrumental stomper "Puppie 'N Knapsacks" (featuring Bush on fiddle, mandolin, and banjo) to more unorthodox fare, including the self-penned, Latin-jazz-flavored "Bananas."
Not surprisingly, the Kentucky native isn't shy about borrowing from unlikely sources for material. This time around, he dips into the canons of contemporary bluesman Keb' Mo' (the sublime "A Better Man") and South African world music star Johnny Clegg (a reggae-flavored "Spirit Is the Journey"). Most impressive is a reading of Jeff Black's "They're Gonna Miss Me When I'm Gone," which boasts a locomotive cadence and lightning-fast picking on Bush's mandolin.

This month of October is going by really fast!! I am LOVING this fall season! Unfortunately, I don't seem to have time to enjoy it all or make as many of the cute crafts as I would like to. This week/weekend has been crazy for us: getting back into routine after a vacation + my husband has been running lights for a show at the University.
Anyway, I thought I would share some fun fall decor crafts I've seen around the blog-sphere and wish I had time to make. Check out this wreath:
I thought this look so cute!! If you don't have a lot of coffee sleeves (as I do), you can use cereal boxes, cut them to shape and run them through a crimper!
Or, this DIY pinecone garland:
Remember the beginning of my fall table?
This evening I picked up some fall leaves on my way home from grocery shopping! I added them under my fall goblets!! Don't they add so much?!
Plus the gold chargers look nice as well! I might post a picture with the dinner meal on the table sometime, but here is what it looks like now. My centerpiece is a butternut squash I'm going to cook later for dinner. Why not display it as fall decor until then?
Check out my Pinterest Board – I'm pinning MUCH more than I'm sharing here AND if you are on facebook, please like my page!!

HAMDEN, Conn. The Quinnipiac University women's lacrosse team fell to Northeast Conference opponent Sacred Heart, 9-8, at the Quinnipiac Field Hockey & Lacrosse Turf Field. Senior co-captain Ashley Valentine (Friendship, Md.) scored three goals and freshman Marissa Caroleo (North Babylon, N.Y.) netted two as the Bobcats fall to 1-1 in NEC play and 4-2 overall with the loss. The win improves the Pioneers' mark to 1-0 in conference and 2-5 overall.
"We worked really hard, but we didn't execute when it counted," said Head Coach Danie Caro. "Now we have to regroup and focus on making the adjustments we need to make to play better moving forward."
Quinnipiac jumped out to a 3-0 lead six and a half minutes into the game on two Valentine goals and another from Caroleo. Sacred Heart's Alicia Fuchs scored the team's first goal on its first shot of the game 13:18 into the half. The Pioneers scored again to cut the lead to one, 3-2, three minutes later on a goal from Amanda Williams.
After Quinnipiac freshman Devon Gibney (Hopkinton, Mass.) scored her seventh goal of the season, Caroleo scored her second of the game to give the Bobcats a three-goal advantage, 5-2. Sacred Heart would pull even at the half, 5-5, ending the period on a 3-0 run over the final 8:52. Fuchs, Kate Kmiotek and Mary Montesarchio all netted tallies in the final minutes of the opening half to tie the game for the Pioneers.
Senior co-captain Tiffany Manzi (Feeding Hills, Mass.) and Valentine opened the second half with two quick goals for the Bobcats. Manzi scored her lone goal of the game on a free-position shot 3:20 into the half to build the lead back to two, 7-5, after being fouled at the top right corner of the eight-meter arc.
Montesarchio scored two goals three minutes apart, followed by goals from Williams and Fuchs to give the Pioneers a 9-7 lead. Fiore netted the Bobcats' eighth goal of the game, fighting through the Sacred Heart defense and firing a shot past goalkeeper Chelsea Wagner. That would be as close as Quinnipiac would come as the Pioneers held the ball for the final minutes to seal the 9-8 victory.
Freshman Noelle Martello (Westbury, N.Y.) started the game in goal for the Bobcats, making one save, before being relieved by junior Hannah Nelson (Glastonbury, Conn.) to start the second half. Nelson made three saves in the final 30 minutes of play, while Wagner turned aside 14 Quinnipiac shots in earning the win for Sacred Heart.
Valentine finished the game with three goals, while adding three ground balls, four caused turnovers and a draw control for the Bobcats. Senior defender Erin Coffey (Huntington, N.Y.) had a game-high four ground balls, while also causing two turnovers.
Quinnipiac returns to action on Sunday, Mar. 29 when it hosts Long Island. The Bobcats and Blackbirds are set to square off at noon.

Hoefl-Riesch storms to win under the lights in Levi
Maria Hoefl-Riesch powered to her first win of the season under the lights north of the artic circle. Hoefl-Riesch, who last won in Levi in 2009, was second after the fist run but skied a near flawless second run to overcome Finland's Tanja Poutiainen to take the win with Mikaela Shiffrin in third. The race in Levi, while not a night race, takes place entirely under lights giving it a unique atmosphere.
Talking after the race, HEAD World Cup rebel Maria Hoefl-Riesch said: "It's always good to start the season with a victory. The first race in Soelden was not easy; I was recovering from a bad flue so this is a much better start. I am almost 28 now and even though I might be counted among the older crew, especially if compared to Mikaela, but I sure feel I have a lot more to give and am looking forward to the next races."
While Hoefl-Riesch lost a little on the top section, it was down the steep and onto the flat section leading into the finish that she gave the rest a master class. By the time she crossed the finish line, the German was almost three quarters of a second ahead of Shiffrin. Poutiainen, waiting in the start as the first run leader, knew that she would have to go some to stay in the lead. Despite the home crowd willing her on, a mistake on the pitch by the Fin saw her lead ebb away and by the time she crossed the line, Poutiainen was over half a second behind Hoefl-Riesch.
With both Lindsey Vonn and Julia Mancuso deciding to skip the race to prepare for the North American leg of the World Cup tour, this was a chance for some of the rising stars of the HEAD World Cup rebels team to make a name for themselves: Swiss racer Wendy Holdener (11th) and Sweden's Anna Swenn-Larssen (7th) both recorded their best World Cup results of their short careers under the lights.
This was the third time that Hoefl-Riesch has won in Levi and with her second run being the fastest of all, she has shown that she is back to her best and looking to recapture the Overall Globe she won two seasons ago.
Next stop the HEAD World Cup Rebel girls are the tech races in Aspen, America.

Maxine has had an amazing, fun life.
We remembered how as a puppy she jumped up in my BB Guys lap and stole the Subway sandwich right out of his mouth. Well let me tell you that never happened again.
We remembered how she would pin our son on the ground with her big barreled chest with her paws on either side of his head so he couldn't move and she would lick his face while he laughed so hard he couldn't catch his breath.
We remembered how she actually smiled while riding in the boat while my BB guy was fishing.
We remembered how she stopped barking at the doorbell at a very young age... as soon as she realized that sometimes that doorbell meant there was pizza at the door.
We remembered how she would try to push me off the bed at the cabin during the night because it was actually her bed up there and she didn't think I should be in it. It was for her and the BB Guy.
Our hearts are just broken and we can't stop crying but she really had a good life and we owed it to her to make the hardest decision of our lives and let her go.

There are no words, just tears to mix with yours, maybe this will help:
Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.
All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.
They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.
You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.
Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

I am so sorry to hear this. We have been through it so many times, but it never gets any easier. I can't stand the thought of losing any of our furry guys, yet they are getting older... I'm just glad to know that this wonderful girl had a great life with you and your family.

Oh Lori I am so sad for you. I know how these four legged creatures become a HUGE part of our families and it hurts so bad. I choose to believe that they are in a better place.

I am so sorry Lori...I went thru this with my Dusty (Golden Retriever)...I had to make the same decision to let him go. I know how hard it is.
My thoughts and prayers are with you.

She was so beautiful Lori. I write this with tears streaming down my face. I know first hand the loss and emptiness that comes with the death of a beloved pet. Huge love to you - I have asked Ziggy to go and look Maxine up. Something tells me they will be fast friends.

I'm so sorry Lori. I know firsthand how difficult this decision is, but I also know it is the most selfless one. We owe it to our constant companions to let them go in peace. They give us such unconditional love and devotion, and it can be our last gift to them. Maxine had a wonderful life, and I hope that those memories help you through this difficult time. Hugs, Kat

I feel so bad for you, Lori. Maxine was a beautiful dog and a big part of your family. Putting her down is one of the hardest things you will ever do. I will be thinking of you.

((((Hugs to you Lori)))) Us fellow pet owners know how horribly hard it is to make that decision. It is 6 years this month that we sent our beloved black Lab Echo on to a pain free place.
Thinking of you,

As I type this, my beautiful rescue dog is snuggled next to me. Isn't it amazing that you've already had 25 comments. What does that say about our dogs.

Oh hon, I'm so sorry. It's the hardest thing to lose a pet, a creature that wiggles its' way into you heart, and even harder to make the decision to put them down. The pain will eventually ease, but her memory will live on.

{{{ BIG HUGS}} to you as I know how hard it is to lose a beloved pet. You did the right thing to ease Maxine's pain and allow her to go with dignity. She depended upon you to do that for her as loving owners. Enjoy all the wonderful memories of your wonderful dog...you gave her wonderful life!

Lori -- my goodness we love our furry babies so much. They bring so much to our lives and yes our heart break and feel like they will never mend when we have to say goodbye. Its been over four years since I had to say goodbye to my darling golden. I no longer cry but when we drop some food on the ground we call out her name. Sad smiles.
Huge hugs to you and cherish your memories.

Oh Lori, I know first hand how hard this is. Both times, I took our dogs to the vet. They are so much a part of our family, dogs are. You will always have your memories.... Sending you a big virtual hug, Lucy, Ethel

After seeing your comment on my blog I headed over here to see if you posted anything. I can honestly say I know exactly what you are going through at this exact moment. Prayers for Maxine, may she rest in peace.

I just found your blog via a link from a Proud Canadian Blogger picture, so I came over to get an Ontario badge. I'm so very sorry about your beautiful girl - I know how hard that decision is to make, and I know how much it hurts :( Your stories of her are adorable, especially the pizza delivery one, lol. Obviously she was a much loved member of your family and will be missed greatly - that's a pretty good legacy to leave. I'm sure she's at the Rainbow Bridge now, waiting to be reunited with her loving family *sniff* *sniff* :(

I am so very sorry for your loss. We are a family of dog lovers and have been there too. You know you did the right thing but it doesn't ease your pain.
Thank you for sharing your pictures and memories.

Oh, friend, I'm so sorry. I'm late here, but I feel so badly for you... :( Dogs have a special place in our hearts, don't they? It's a special hurt when they are gone.

Oh Lori, I can't believe I missed this when you wrote it -- I am SO sorry. Maxine was beautiful, and I know all too well the holes in your hearts on losing her.
You are doing the best thing you can -- remembering her, honoring her, laughing about her life and the joy and love she brought so open-heartedly to you and your family.
They are with us such a short time, and leave such a very BIG stamp on our hearts.
My arms go around you, my heart aches for you. How lucky Max was to have chosen your family with whom to share her wonderful life.

Oh Goodness! I'm in tears!
I have my 2nd black lab, TJ who is elderly and I am bracing for the day....
I'm still not over the previous dogs, cats, pet rats (owned by my kids), hamsters, chinchilla's, fish...the list goes on.
I can't stand the loss, but people say "the time spent and the love shared" makes it all worth it...I suppose I have to agree.
I'm so sorry for the pain you are going thru. People that don't understand loving an animal, well, they are missing out on one of the greatest joy's in life!
Thanks for sharing-

I'm trying to figure out how the mechanics of holographic radar work. AFAIK there is a continuous 3d transmission signal (a dome-shaped antenna?) But because there isn't a direction or time-domain, how do we observe the return signal from objects and locate them? Is there any reference material / books on how this works?
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Physics Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for active researchers, academics and students of physics. It's 100% free.
It looks like any other modern signal processed multi-beam radar system - I think the "holographic" probably has more to do with their marketing dept than anything to do with holograms.
With phased array radars, instead of having a single rotating dish which transmits in a single direction and listens for a return form that direction, you have a series of fixed transmitters and receivers which broadcast and listen continuously. By measuring the the time a signal received at different receivers you can work out the angle it came from. In practice it's complicated, especially in environments with lots of background reflections - but with enough software it's doable.
