Hat alles perfekt geklappt. Gute Wohnung.
Sehr zentral gelegen. Top Anbindung zur U-Bahn.
Professioneller Service.
Apartement location was great! traffic noise was too loud. The photos of the apartment on Wimdu pages do not correspond to the reality, for example the living room sofa was so dirty that we couldnt sit on it. sofa cushions also dirty. armchair dirty. Bathroom toilet did not work. dishes were dirty, such as a coffee maker that did not work. Air conditioning did not work in one bedroom ... I was disappointed because I booked this apartment ...
A good apartment. The communication beforehand took first while, but after an email to Wimdu, I got direct contact with the host.
Clear communication. Nice Hosts.
The apartment is in a quiet area, especially at night. it is a clean and nice apartment. We were six of us and that was fine. Only the sofa bed was not super, but so that you can expect.
Metro station less than 200 meters away.
Arena, Fontan magica also very close. Supermarket around the corner.
We really enjoyed our days in Barcelona.
Een goed appartement. De communicatie vooraf duurde eerst even, maar na een mailtje naar Wimdu, kreeg ik direct contact met de host.
Duidelijke communicatie. Aardige Hosts.
Het appartement ligt in een rustig deel , vooral 's nachts. het is een schoon en leuk appartement. Wij waren er met z'n zessen en dat ging prima. Alleen de bedbank lag niet super, maar ja dat kan je verwachten.
Metrostation op nog geen 200 meter afstand.
Arena, Fontan magica ook heel dichtbij. Supermarkt om de hoek.
Wij hebben echt genoten van onze dagen in Barcelona.

Detecting outliers: Do not use standard deviation around the mean, use absolute deviation around the medianChristophe Leys | Christophe Ley | Olivier Klein | Philippe Bernard | Laurent Licata
Volume 49, Issue 4, July 2013, Pages 764-766
A survey revealed that researchers still seem to encounter difficulties to cope with outliers. Detecting outliers by determining an interval spanning over the mean plus/minus three standard deviations remains a common practice. However, since both the mean and the standard deviation are particularly sensitive to outliers, this method is problematic. We highlight the disadvantages of this method and present the median absolute deviation, an alternative and more robust measure of dispersion that is easy to implement. We also explain the procedures for calculating this indicator in SPSS and R software. © 2013 Elsevier Inc.
Status incongruity and backlash effects: Defending the gender hierarchy motivates prejudice against female leadersLaurie A. Rudman | Corinne A. Moss-Racusin | Julie E. Phelan | Sanne Nauts
Volume 48, Issue 1, January 2012, Pages 165-179
Agentic female leaders risk social and economic penalties for behaving counter-stereotypically (i.e., backlash; Rudman, 1998), but what motivates prejudice against female leaders? The status incongruity hypothesis (SIH) proposes that agentic women are penalized for status violations because doing so defends the gender hierarchy. Consistent with this view, Study 1 found that women are proscribed from dominant, high status displays (which are reserved for leaders and men); Studies 2-3 revealed that prejudice against agentic female leaders was mediated by a dominance penalty; and in Study 3, participants' gender system-justifying beliefs moderated backlash effects. Study 4 found that backlash was exacerbated when perceivers were primed with a system threat. Study 5 showed that only female leaders who threatened the status quo suffered sabotage. In concert, support for the SIH suggests that backlash functions to preserve male dominance by reinforcing a double standard for power and control. © 2011 Elsevier Inc.
The Replication Recipe: What makes for a convincing replication?Mark J. Brandt | Hans IJzerman | Ap Dijksterhuis | Frank J. Farach | Jason Geller | Roger Giner-Sorolla | James A. Grange | Marco Perugini | Jeffrey R. Spies | Anna van 't Veer
Volume 50, Issue 1, January 2014, Pages 217-224
Psychological scientists have recently started to reconsider the importance of close replications in building a cumulative knowledge base; however, there is no consensus about what constitutes a convincing close replication study. To facilitate convincing close replication attempts we have developed a Replication Recipe, outlining standard criteria for a convincing close replication. Our Replication Recipe can be used by researchers, teachers, and students to conduct meaningful replication studies and integrate replications into their scholarly habits. © 2013 Elsevier Inc.
Long-term reduction in implicit race bias: A prejudice habit-breaking interventionPatricia G. Devine | Patrick S. Forscher | Anthony J. Austin | William T L Cox
Volume 48, Issue 6, November 2012, Pages 1267-1278
We developed a multi-faceted prejudice habit-breaking intervention to produce long-term reductions in implicit race bias. The intervention is based on the premise that implicit bias is like a habit that can be broken through a combination of awareness of implicit bias, concern about the effects of that bias, and the application of strategies to reduce bias. In a 12-week longitudinal study, people who received the intervention showed dramatic reductions in implicit race bias. People who were concerned about discrimination or who reported using the strategies showed the greatest reductions. The intervention also led to increases in concern about discrimination and personal awareness of bias over the duration of the study. People in the control group showed none of the above effects. Our results raise the hope of reducing persistent and unintentional forms of discrimination that arise from implicit bias. © 2012 Elsevier Inc.
From women to objects: Appearance focus, target gender, and perceptions of warmth, morality and competenceNathan A. Heflick | Jamie L. Goldenberg | Douglas P. Cooper | Elisa Puvia
Volume 47, Issue 3, May 2011, Pages 572-581
Most literally, objectification refers to perceiving a person as an object, and consequently, less than fully human. Research on perceptions of humanness and the stereotype content model suggests that humanness is linked to perceptions of warmth, morality and competence. Merging these insights with objectification theory, we hypothesized that focusing on a woman's, but not a man's, appearance should induce objectification, and thus reduce perceptions of these characteristics. In three studies, females, but not males, were perceived as less competent (Studies 2 and 3) and less warm and moral (Studies 1, 2 and 3) when participants were instructed to focus on their appearance. These findings support our position and help rule out stereotype activation as an alternative explanation to dehumanization. Further, they generalized to targets of different races, familiarity, physical attractiveness and occupational status. Implications for gender inequity and the perpetuation of objectification of women are discussed. © 2010 Elsevier Inc.
Like a camera in the sky? Thinking about God increases public self-awareness and socially desirable respondingWill M. Gervais | Ara Norenzayan
Volume 48, Issue 1, January 2012, Pages 298-302
Believers describe God as a strategic social agent who perceives human thoughts and actions. Thinking about God therefore might make believers feel as if their behavior is being monitored, a possibility we call the supernatural monitoring hypothesis. Three studies offered new and converging empirical support for this hypothesis using two variables that are sensitive to perceived social surveillance: public self-awareness and socially desirable responding. For believers, the effect of an explicit God prime on public self-awareness was comparable to the effect of thinking about how other people view oneself (Experiment 1). An implicit God concepts prime increased public self-awareness (Experiment 2) and socially desirable responding (Experiment 3) among believers. These studies offer the first direct evidence that thinking of God triggers perceived social surveillance. © 2011 Elsevier Inc.
Building on the ideas of others: An examination of the idea combination processNicholas W. Kohn | Paul B. Paulus | YunHee Choi
Volume 47, Issue 3, May 2011, Pages 554-561
Two experiments were conducted to explore the process of building on ideas in brainstorming. Although this is presumed to be an important role of brainstorming, this has never been explored experimentally. In one experiment individual and group brainstormers generated ideas which were subsequently presented to these same individuals and groups to combine and build on for additional ideas, either as groups or individuals. The combination process was influenced by whether the participants had previously brainstormed alone or in groups and the phase of the combination period (early vs. late). In a second study participants were presented lists of rare or common ideas to combine and build on either as individuals or groups. Although groups generated fewer combinations than nominal groups, they generated more novel and feasible combinations when combining rare ideas. These findings indicate that groups are able to benefit from the exchange process in building on each other's ideas and are interpreted in the context of past research on idea generation and evaluation in groups. © 2011 Elsevier Inc.
What mediation analysis can (not) doKlaus Fiedler | Malte Schott | Thorsten Meiser
Volume 47, Issue 6, November 2011, Pages 1231-1236
The present article is concerned with a common misunderstanding in the interpretation of statistical mediation analyses. These procedures can be sensibly used to examine the degree to which a third variable (Z) accounts for the influence of an independent (X) on a dependent variable (Y) conditional on the assumption that Z actually is a mediator. However, conversely, a significant mediation analysis result does not prove that Z is a mediator. This obvious but often neglected insight is substantiated in a simulation study. Using different causal models for generating Z (genuine mediator, spurious mediator, correlate of the dependent measure, manipulation check) it is shown that significant mediation tests do not allow researchers to identify unique mediators, or to distinguish between alternative causal models. This basic insight, although well understood by experts in statistics, is persistently ignored in the empirical literature and in the reviewing process of even the most selective journals. © 2011.
"It's ok - Not everyone can be good at math": Instructors with an entity theory comfort (and demotivate) studentsAneeta Rattan | Catherine Good | Carol S. Dweck
Volume 48, Issue 3, May 2012, Pages 731-737
Can comforting struggling students demotivate them and potentially decrease the pool of students pursuing math-related subjects? In Studies 1-3, instructors holding an entity (fixed) theory of math intelligence more readily judged students to have low ability than those holding an incremental (malleable) theory. Studies 2-3 further revealed that those holding an entity (versus incremental) theory were more likely to both comfort students for low math ability and use "kind" strategies unlikely to promote engagement with the field (e.g., assigning less homework). Next, we explored what this comfort-oriented feedback communicated to students, compared with strategy-oriented and control feedback (Study 4). Students responding to comfort-oriented feedback not only perceived the instructor's entity theory and low expectations, but also reported lowered motivation and lower expectations for their own performance. This research has implications for understanding how pedagogical practices can lock students into low achievement and deplete the math pipeline. © 2011 Elsevier Inc.
The bigger one of the "Big Two"? Preferential processing of communal informationAndrea E. Abele | Susanne Bruckmüller
Volume 47, Issue 5, September 2011, Pages 935-948
An important aim of person perception is to guide people in their actions towards others and an especially important question in this regard is whether to approach a target or not. A target's traits can be differentiated into the "Big Two" fundamental content dimensions of agency and communion. Four studies test the hypothesis that relative to agentic traits communal traits - which can also be conceptualized as "other-profitable" traits - are processed preferentially because they convey more information relevant for approach vs. avoidance decisions. Across four studies, we found consistent support for this preferential processing hypothesis. Communal trait words were recognized faster (Study 1) and categorized faster with regard to valence than agentic trait words (Study 2); communal traits were inferred faster from behavior descriptions than agentic traits (Study 3); and finally, communal traits were mentioned prior to agentic ones in spontaneous descriptions of another person (Study 4). Throughout these studies the stimuli's valence (positive or negative words or behaviors) did not moderate this processing speed advantage of communal information. Participants' responses in Study 4, however, were more valence-driven for the communion dimension than for the agency dimension. © 2011 Elsevier Inc.
Motivation, personal beliefs, and limited resources all contribute to self-controlKathleen D. Vohs | Roy F. Baumeister | Brandon J. Schmeichel
Volume 48, Issue 4, July 2012, Pages 943-947
What effects do motivation and beliefs have on self-control? We tested this question using a limited resource paradigm, which generally has found that people show poor self-control after prior exertions of self-control. Recent findings have suggested that motivation and even belief in unlimited willpower can render persons immune to ego depletion. We replicated those findings, but also showed they are limited to cases of mild depletion. When depletion is extensive, the effects of motivation and subjective belief vanished and in one case reversed. After performing only one self-control task, the typical pattern of self-regulation impairment was ameliorated among people who were encouraged to regard willpower as unlimited (Experiment 1) or motivated by task importance (Experiment 2). Those manipulations failed to improve performance among severely depleted persons who had done multiple self-control tasks. These findings integrate ideas of limited resources, motivation, and beliefs in understanding the nature of self-control over time. © 2012 Elsevier Inc.
Evidence for the specificity of control motivations in worldview defense: Distinguishing compensatory control from uncertainty management and terror management processesSteven Shepherd | Aaron C. Kay | Mark J. Landau | Lucas A. Keefer
Volume 47, Issue 5, September 2011, Pages 949-958
Research inspired by the compensatory control model (CCM) shows that people compensate for personal control threats by bolstering aspects of the cultural worldview that afford external control. According to the CCM these effects stem from the motivation to maintain perceived order, but it is alternatively possible that they represent indirect efforts to bolster distally related psychological structures described by uncertainty management theory (self-relevant certainty) and terror management theory (death-transcendence). To assess whether compensatory control processes play a unique role in worldview defense, we hypothesized that personal control threats would increase affirmation of cultural constructs that specifically bolster order more so than constructs that bolster distally related structures. The results of 5 studies provide converging support for this hypothesis in the context of attitudes toward diverse cultural constructs (Study 1: national culture; Studies 2 and 3: consumer products; Studies 4a and 4b: political candidates). Also supporting hypotheses, uncertainty salience and mortality salience elicited greater affirmation of identity- and immortality-conferring targets, respectively, compared to order-conferring constructs. Discussion focuses on the value of different perspectives on existential motivation for predicting specific forms of worldview defense. © 2011 Elsevier Inc.
The destructive nature of power without statusNathanael J. Fast | Nir Halevy | Adam D. Galinsky
Volume 48, Issue 1, January 2012, Pages 391-394
The current research explores how roles that possess power but lack status influence behavior toward others. Past research has primarily examined the isolated effects of having either power or status, but we propose that power and status interact to affect interpersonal behavior. Based on the notions that a) low-status is threatening and aversive and b) power frees people to act on their internal states and feelings, we hypothesized that power without status fosters demeaning behaviors toward others. To test this idea, we orthogonally manipulated both power and status and gave participants the chance to select activities for their partners to perform. As predicted, individuals in high-power/low-status roles chose more demeaning activities for their partners (e.g., bark like a dog, say "I am filthy") than did those in any other combination of power and status roles. We discuss how these results clarify, challenge, and advance the existing power and status literatures. © 2011 Elsevier Inc.
The ironic effects of weight stigmaBrenda Major | Jeffrey M. Hunger | Debra P. Bunyan | Carol T. Miller
Volume 51, Issue , January 2014, Pages 74-80
America's war on obesity has intensified stigmatization of overweight and obese individuals. This experiment tested the prediction that exposure to weight-stigmatizing messages threatens the social identity of individuals who perceive themselves as overweight, depleting executive resources necessary for exercising self-control when presented with high calorie food. Women were randomly assigned to read a news article about stigma faced by overweight individuals in the job market or a control article. Exposure to weight-stigmatizing news articles caused self-perceived overweight women, but not women who did not perceive themselves as overweight, to consume more calories and feel less capable of controlling their eating than exposure to non-stigmatizing articles. Weight-stigmatizing articles also increased concerns about being a target of stigma among both self-perceived overweight and non-overweight women. Findings suggest that social messages targeted at combating obesity may have paradoxical and undesired effects.© 2013 Elsevier Inc.
Enclothed cognitionHajo Adam | Adam D. Galinsky
Volume 48, Issue 4, July 2012, Pages 918-925
We introduce the term "enclothed cognition" to describe the systematic influence that clothes have on the wearer's psychological processes. We offer a potentially unifying framework to integrate past findings and capture the diverse impact that clothes can have on the wearer by proposing that enclothed cognition involves the co-occurrence of two independent factors-the symbolic meaning of the clothes and the physical experience of wearing them. As a first test of our enclothed cognition perspective, the current research explored the effects of wearing a lab coat. A pretest found that a lab coat is generally associated with attentiveness and carefulness. We therefore predicted that wearing a lab coat would increase performance on attention-related tasks. In Experiment 1, physically wearing a lab coat increased selective attention compared to not wearing a lab coat. In Experiments 2 and 3, wearing a lab coat described as a doctor's coat increased sustained attention compared to wearing a lab coat described as a painter's coat, and compared to simply seeing or even identifying with a lab coat described as a doctor's coat. Thus, the current research suggests a basic principle of enclothed cognition-it depends on both the symbolic meaning and the physical experience of wearing the clothes. © 2012 Elsevier Inc.
This is your brain on violent video games: Neural desensitization to violence predicts increased aggression following violent video game exposureChristopher R. Engelhardt | Bruce D. Bartholow | Geoffrey T. Kerr | Brad J. Bushman
Volume 47, Issue 5, September 2011, Pages 1033-1036
Previous research has shown that media violence exposure can cause desensitization to violence, which in theory can increase aggression. However, no study to date has demonstrated this association. In the present experiment, participants played a violent or nonviolent video game, viewed violent and nonviolent photos while their brain activity was measured, and then gave an ostensible opponent unpleasant noise blasts. Participants low in previous exposure to video game violence who played a violent (relative to a nonviolent) game showed a reduction in the P3 component of the event-related brain potential (ERP) to violent images (indicating physiological desensitization), and this brain response mediated the effect of video game content on subsequent aggressive behavior. These data provide the first experimental evidence linking violence desensitization with increased aggression, and show that a neural marker of this process can at least partially account for the causal link between violent game exposure and aggression. © 2011 Elsevier Inc.
More than fair: Outcome dependence, system justification, and the perceived legitimacy of authority figuresJojanneke van der Toorn | Tom R. Tyler | John T. Jost
Volume 47, Issue 1, January 2011, Pages 127-138
Legitimacy is a source of power for authorities because it promotes voluntary deference on the part of followers. From a system justification perspective, there is also reason to believe that power is a source of perceived legitimacy. We report five studies demonstrating that in addition to procedural fairness and outcome favorability, outcome dependence is an independent contributor to perceived legitimacy. In two cross-sectional field studies and one panel study, we hypothesized and found that dependence on an authority figure is positively associated with appraisals of legitimacy, measured in terms of trust and confidence in, empowerment of, and deference to authority. These effects were demonstrated in educational, political, and legal settings. Two additional experiments provided direct causal evidence for the hypothesized effect on both perceived legitimacy and voluntary deference (i.e., acquiescence to additional requests). We also found that participants assigned to a high (vs. low) dependence condition judged their outcomes to be more favorable, despite the fact that the outcomes were identical in the two conditions; this effect was mediated by perceived legitimacy. Taken as a whole, these findings suggest that perceived legitimacy is enhanced not only when authorities exercise fair procedures and deliver favorable outcomes, but also when subordinates are dependent on them. Implications for society and the study of legitimacy and social power are discussed. © 2010 Elsevier Inc.
The evolution of decision-making under risk: Framing effects in monkey risk preferencesVenkat R. Lakshminarayanan | M. Keith Chen | Laurie R. Santos
Volume 47, Issue 3, May 2011, Pages 689-693
When making choices between risky options, human decision-makers exhibit a number of framing effects. One of the most prominent framing effects is the tendency for decision makers to evaluate gambles relative to a reference point, and to act risk-seeking when prospects are framed as losses but risk-averse when identical prospects are framed as gains. This tendency for risk-preferences to reverse between loss and gain frames has been termed the reflection effect, and is one of the primary predictions of Prospect Theory. Here, we explore whether non-human primates exhibit a similar reflection effect. Using a token-trading task, we show that capuchin monkeys (Cebus apella) exhibit an analogous reversal of risk preferences depending on whether outcomes are presented as gains or losses, suggesting that similar framing effects also influence choice in non-human primates. This finding suggests that the mechanisms that drive framing effects in humans may be evolutionarily ancient, extending broadly across the primate order. © 2010 Elsevier Inc.
Increasing outgroup trust, reducing infrahumanization, and enhancing future contact intentions via imagined intergroup contactLoris Vezzali | Dora Capozza | Sofia Stathi | Dino Giovannini
Volume 48, Issue 1, January 2012, Pages 437-440
The present study was designed to test whether imagined intergroup contact (Crisp & Turner, 2009) affects attributions of human emotions to outgroup members and positive behavioral intentions toward the outgroup via increased outgroup trust. Italian fourth-graders took part in a three-week intervention, where they were asked to imagine meeting an unknown immigrant child in various social settings. One week after the last session, they were administered the dependent measures. Results revealed an indirect effect of imagined contact on both behavioral intentions and attributions of uniquely human emotions to outgroup members via outgroup trust. The theoretical and practical implications are discussed, and an integration of the imagined contact and infrahumanization literature is suggested. © 2011 Elsevier Inc.
Egalitarian goals trigger stereotype inhibition: A proactive form of stereotype controlGordon B. Moskowitz | Peizhong Li
Volume 47, Issue 1, January 2011, Pages 103-116
Stereotype activation is often described as beyond control, unable to be prevented by willing it or engaging the self-regulatory system. Four experiments illustrate that this initial stage of the stereotyping process is controllable. Stereotypes are shown to be implicitly inhibited as part of a goal shielding process. In each experiment, egalitarian goals are triggered through a task in which participants contemplate a past failure at being egalitarian to African American men. This is followed in each experiment by a task that measures stereotype activation/inhibition using reaction times to words (either control words or stereotype-relevant words) that follow the presentation of either faces of Black or White men. The first two experiments examine participants with egalitarian goals versus those with a control goal, whereas the last two experiments examine people with egalitarian goals versus those whose egalitarian strivings have been satisfied (by contemplating success at being egalitarian). Only participants with egalitarian goals exhibit stereotype inhibition, and this occurs despite the fact that they lack awareness of the inhibition and lack the conscious intent to inhibit stereotypes at the time the response is made. © 2010 Elsevier Inc.
Social connection enables dehumanizationAdam Waytz | Nicholas Epley
Volume 48, Issue 1, January 2012, Pages 70-76
Being socially connected has considerable benefits for oneself, but may have negative consequences for evaluations of others. In particular, being socially connected to close others satisfies the need for social connection, and creates disconnection from more distant others. We therefore predicted that feeling socially connected would increase the tendency to dehumanize more socially distant others. Four experiments support this prediction. Those led to feel socially connected were less likely to attribute humanlike mental states to members of various social groups (Experiments 1 and 2), particularly distant others compared to close others (Experiment 3), and were also more likely to recommend harsh treatment for dehumanized others (i.e., terrorist detainees, Experiment 4). Discussion addresses the mechanisms by which social connection enables dehumanization, and the varied behavioral implications that result. © 2011 Elsevier Inc.
How do habits guide behavior? Perceived and actual triggers of habits in daily lifeDavid T. Neal | Wendy Wood | Jennifer S. Labrecque | Phillippa Lally
Volume 48, Issue 2, March 2012, Pages 492-498
What are the psychological mechanisms that trigger habits in daily life? Two studies reveal that strong habits are influenced by context cues associated with past performance (e.g., locations) but are relatively unaffected by current goals. Specifically, performance contexts-but not goals-automatically triggered strongly habitual behaviors in memory (Experiment 1) and triggered overt habit performance (Experiment 2). Nonetheless, habits sometimes appear to be linked to goals because people self-perceive their habits to be guided by goals. Furthermore, habits of moderate strength are automatically influenced by goals, yielding a curvilinear, U-shaped relation between habit strength and actual goal influence. Thus, research that taps self-perceptions or moderately strong habits may find habits to be linked to goals. © 2011 Elsevier Inc..
White and Black American children's implicit intergroup biasAnna Kaisa Newheiser | Kristina R. Olson
Volume 48, Issue 1, January 2012, Pages 264-270
Despite a decline in explicit prejudice, adults and children from majority groups (e.g., White Americans) often express bias implicitly, as assessed by the Implicit Association Test. In contrast, minority-group (e.g., Black American) adults on average show no bias on the IAT. In the present research, representing the first empirical investigation of whether Black children's IAT performance parallels that of Black adults, we examined implicit bias in 7-11-year-old White and Black American children. Replicating previous findings with adults, whereas White children showed a robust ingroup bias, Black children showed no bias. Additionally, we investigated the role of valuing status in the development of implicit bias. For Black children, explicit preference for high status predicted implicit outgroup bias: Black children who explicitly expressed high preference for rich (vs. poor) people showed an implicit preference for Whites comparable in magnitude to White children's ingroup bias. Implications for research on intergroup bias are discussed. © 2011 Elsevier Inc.
Overcoming competitive victimhood and facilitating forgiveness through re-categorization into a common victim or perpetrator identityNurit Shnabel | Samer Halabi | Masi Noor
Volume 49, Issue 5, September 2013, Pages 867-877
We argue that facilitating forgiveness among groups involved in intractable conflicts requires reducing competitive victimhood which stems from the conflicting parties' motivation to restore agency and a positive moral image. Examining novel and traditional re-categorization interventions, Study 1 found that inducing Israeli Jews and Palestinians with a common victim identity decreased competitive victimhood, which in turn increased forgiveness. Inducing a common regional identity failed to initiate a similar process. Study 2 further revealed that inducing either a common victim or a common perpetrator identity (but not a common regional identity) led to decreased competitive victimhood and increased forgiveness. The mechanisms involved were decreased moral defensiveness in the common victim intervention versus increased sense of agency in the common perpetrator intervention. © 2013 Elsevier Inc.
Through the eyes of dieters: Biased size perception of food following tempting food primesGuido M. van Koningsbruggen | Wolfgang Stroebe | Henk Aarts
Volume 47, Issue 2, March 2011, Pages 293-299
Why do some dieters succeed in controlling their diet while others do not? This research focused on a perceptual process-size perception of food objects-that may moderate the success of dieters in self-control dilemmas. We assessed successful and unsuccessful dieters' size perception of palatable food (Study 1) and diet-food (Study 2) after pre-exposing them to tempting food primes. Dieters perceived palatable food as bigger when primed with tempting food (vs. control prime), regardless of self-regulatory success in dieting (Study 1). Palatable food thus looms larger for both unsuccessful and successful dieters when in a "hot" state. In contrast, the perceived size of diet-food was increased by a tempting food prime only for successful dieters, but decreased for unsuccessful dieters (Study 2). These results are interpreted in terms of differences in the mental accessibility of competing goals (eating enjoyment vs. dieting) in successful vs. unsuccessful dieters. Indeed, when the dieting goal was made accessible for all dieters by a diet prime, even unsuccessful dieters perceived diet-food as bigger (Study 2). This research provides insight into a perceptual process that may be detrimental or beneficial in resolving self-control conflicts in the domain of eating and dieting behavior-and probably other domains of self-control as well. © 2010 Elsevier Inc.

Stay (12/29/2011) - Great stay here at Cozumel IslaMar! Sherri, we wish we could have met you! You were so much help through emails! Zuri & Miguel were helpful and the villas were always clean and tidy! Thank you! I think the villas are a good distance from town as we dont like too much tourist stuff. Having a nice walk home after a big meal was a relief! Anyways, we decided to get a scooter for 8 of the days and it was useful! Traveling to our favorite beaches on the east coast or to the southern ones like Playa Palancar was made easy! Great place to stay, we had a great time here. Thanks so much to everyone here!
Cathy S. & Lickel W. ~ Detroit, MI
Stay (07/10/2013) - I had a great stay, so quiet with the whole place to myself. I am sorry the diving didnt give me a chance to get to know you all a bit but Zuri kept the place so clean (I was almost afraid to leave any type of mess)! The dive package between here and Dive Paradise is a fantastic way to go and I enjoyed my entire stay will definitely recommend you to family and friends as well as online!
Greg M. ~ Inuvik, N.T., Canada
Stay (01/09/2013) - Our eight (8) nights here in #2 Villa were really enjoyable and relaxing. The weather could not have been nicer for being outside or walking to town or in the neighborhood. The hole fish at Carlos was delicious, food at Los Palmos divine and local mom and pop restaurants worth the visit. Zuri is very special and does a great job of cleaning and so pleasant each day.
Kathy & Tom S. ~ Grand Rapids, OH
Enjoyed the accommodations! Nice to be able to eat in instead of going out all the time. Also enjoyed the quietness, no large crowds and the service is great! Zuri is wonderful. Thanks for everything!
Sue C. & Ken K. ~ Phoenix, AZ
Staying at IslaMar gave us a wonderful insight into the culture and daily life of Cozumel. The sounds and smells of the neighborhood became familiar and comforting. We adored Zuri and wish that we could take her home with us. The efforts of the staff were extremely helpful in dealing with a foreign environment and were greatly appreciated. Cozumel has enriched our lives with a memorable experience! Gracias!!!

The NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament begins today, an event Auburn has not experienced since the 2002-03 season. The Tigers finished with an 11-20 record in Year 2 of the Bruce Pearl era. With that in mind, let's look back on the 2015-16 campaign with some season superlatives -- good and bad. (Wesley email@example.com)
This seems to be a conensus choice -- Auburn's best win came on Jan. 16 when the Tigers upset No. 14 Kentucky at home, marking the program's first win over a ranked opponent since 2009. Kentucky entered the game riding an 18-game winning streak against the Tigers, and fans rushed the court at Auburn Arena in the final seconds. (Brandon email@example.com)
Auburn saved its worst for last. One year after pulling three upsets in three days at the SEC Tournament in Nashville, the Tigers were blown out in the opening game as the Volunteers crushed the Tigers 97-59. It was a game many thought the healthy Tigers could win, but the 39-point loss ended the season and marked the program's biggest point deficit in 11 years. (AP/Mark Humphrey)
Bryce Brown caught fire in Auburn's 90-86 upset win at Arkansas Feb. 17, going 9-for-14 from 3-point range to finish with a career-high 27 points. Brown's future on the Plains appears bright after averaging 10.1 points per game in his freshman season. (AP/Samantha Baker)
Harris averaged 13.9 points and 7.7 rebounds in his lone season with the Tigers, but was severely off the mark during a two-game stretch in February. Harris went 0-for-10 in a 71-45 loss at Tennessee before going 1-for-8 four days later as the Tigers fell at home to Vanderbilt, 86-57. (Julie firstname.lastname@example.com)
Spencer's numbers (5.1 points, 4.9 rebounds and 2.1 blocks per game) won't jump off the page, but the forward provided a solid presence in the paint throughout his freshman season. There were growing pains too -- he led the team with 115 personal fouls -- but the potential is there. With Cinmeon Bowers, Jordon Granger and Tyler Harris on their way out, Spencer will be Auburn's best returning post player next season. (Wesley email@example.com)
Arguably Auburn's best returning player, Bowers entered the year 30 pounds lighter but showed little signs of improvement as a senior. He was once again criticized for his decision-making and lack of consistency. Bowers pulled down 9.6 rebounds per game in both seasons, but his scoring average dropped from 12.1 to 10.5 points per contest from his junior to senior seasons. (Wesley email@example.com)
Canty sat the 2014-15 season out after transferring to Auburn from Marshall and was worth the wait -- until he decided to leave the program. The point guard was Auburn's best overall player by a decent margin. He averaged 18.3 points and 5.3 assists per game in 21 appearances. Following a four-game suspension for conduct detrimental to the team, Canty left the program with plans to enter the NBA Draft. The Tigers went 9-12 with Canty and 2-8 without him. (Wesley email@example.com)

I vote for Ohio University's Marching 110 Men of Ohio. People would go to the football games, listen to the band pre game and half time and then leave! Any band that would play Frank Zappa's Dancing Fool in the late '70s gets my vote.

Steve, I graduated form Auburn and have heard both bands, Auburn's and Bammer'z Milyun Doller Band. The Southerners can blow either one out of the stadium. They are purely awesome and that is why I picked them at the start of this thread. There is nothing, I mean NOTHING to compare to Stars Fell on Alabama. With THIRTY (30) Conn 20J large-bore concert tubas instead of Sousaphones, the sound has to be heard live to be appreciated. Right ENTrumpet???

Loved the view of water on both sides from the balcony! Very easy to rent and great communication with the owners! Visited several beaches during our stay, Put-in-bay, Cedar point, Marblehead lighthouse...so many things to see and do nearby. Great dock area if you are bringing your boat! Definitely would recommend this property!
We just returned from our 4 night stay at Mike and Chris's condo in Port Clinton and I have to say, it was everything we were looking for in a place to stay. I have never used HomeAway so everything was new. I made the reservation and Mike was quick to answer any questions I had. Our first impression of the condo was how clean it was (big issue for me) and comfortable. It's in a great location with a nice view of Lake Erie. Since we have two teens, we wanted to be close to Cedar Point in Sandusky, but also close to other activities like going to Put-in-Bay Island by Ferry or a short drive up the street to a small beach on Lake Erie. There is a nice selection of restaurants in the area as well. One which we really enjoyed our meal and the atmosphere was Docks Beach House. Although we didn't spend much time in the condo, it was a good feeling knowing that when we returned from a long day of fun, we could feel as comfortable as we do in our own home. It had all the amenities in its description including a pool. If your looking for a nice place to stay, and a great location with great views than I would highly recommend Mike and Chris's condo! Just sorry we didn't get to meet Mike and Chris before we had to leave. Maybe next time!
We stayed almost 2 weeks here and it was so nice to have a "home away from home." The condo is exactly as advertised--no unpleasant surprises! It was very clean and we had everything we needed. The location is terrific if you are headed to Camp Perry for the National Matches or any of the many attractions in the area. The condominium complex is very nice as well. We were very pleased.
Was a very nice condo with beautiful views of the lake and the marina. A clean, modern condo close to everything including the ferries for Put In Bay and Kelley's Island. Cedar Point is only about 25 minutes drive away. The entire condo is set within nice kept gardens and the pool area was immaculate as well. It was a bonus to have a washing machine and tumble drier as it made the washing when we got home so much lighter.
I would thoroughly recommend this condo and was a very nice place to stay.
Thank you for a lovely stay
Julie Hobbs
Mike and Chris make it easy to rent this clean, comfortable, well-stocked condo. Just bring personal items, food, beach towels and beach chairs. The pool area was very nice. We enjoyed beautiful sunsets from our private balcony, the beach just across the street, Crane Creek bird sanctuary, East Harbor State Park and the Hayes Presidential Center in Freemont. We ate at area restaurants: McCarthy's, Mon Ami, Jolly Roger (casual with great perch and walleye), and Nagoya Japanese Steak House (try the patio seating for a great view). If you prefer to cook, there are several grocery stores within a few miles.
We found the listing to be accurate. The property was comfortable for 4 adults.
This condo is very comfortable and inviting. It is conveniently located to all the major attractions in the area. We enjoyed having a fully furnished kitchen and access to a grill. Mike and Chris make the whole process very simple and easy to do, even all the way from Texas. :) The kids enjoyed the pool and foosball in the clubhouse area, as well as the games,puzzles and coloring book we found under the TV stand. Having access to a washer and dryer makes it much easier for us to travel with carry-ons only and avoiding those dreaded baggage fees! The views are fantastic and everyone was very nice and courteous. We enjoyed having a home-like space to stay while visiting our family in nearby Fremont. We also visited Put-In-Bay, Cedar Point, East Harbor and the baby elephant at the Toledo Zoo. We were just a short drive from all these locations! The only drawback for us, was not being able to have my in-laws over because the condo was situated on the 3rd floor which is too difficult for them to handle at their age. This, however, is a minimal inconvenience and I look forward to renting this condo in the future!
Other Activities: jet skiing, bird watching at Magee Marsh and Crane Creek

This is a gateway into the vast world of yarn design. Why are spinners today so committed to plied yarn? After all, it is optional—why take the extra time to ply? There are many good reasons. Mastering the skill and knowing all of the benefits can make all the difference between an ordinary thread and getting just the type you want. This fascinating eBook from the experts at Spinning Daily uncovers all of the opportunities, benefits, methods, techniques, and the art of plying yarn. Don't wait; download your free guide today!
A plied yarn is stronger, more consistent, and more stable than the singles from which it is made. Also, in the ply structure, more of the individual fibers are covered and protected from abrasive wear, light and chemical damage. Whether you're learning for the first time, want to weigh the benefits of single- vs. multiple-ply yarn, or want tips for plying on a drop spindle, this eBook is packed with helpful tips for spinners of all skill levels.
What's inside?
Discover interesting history and the many purposes that the craft serves depending on the project your material will be used for. The experts at Spinning Daily have compiled a guide, full of colorful images, tips, and various techniques for achieving the texture and effects that you really want. Download this amazing eBook free and experience the joys of plied yarn.
Plied Yarn
A Closer Look by Rita Buchanan
Plying is optional—using unplied or singles yarn—saves precious time. Efficiency and productivity were urgent concerns when everything was made from handspun fiber, which explains why, traditionally, most handspun textiles were made from singles. Yet some traditional textiles were made from two-ply yarns, and now we usually ply. Learn about psychological motives, practical benefits, and design opportunities of the craft.
How to Ply Yarn
Self-Ply by Carol Huebscher Rhoades
Have you been perplexed in a spinning class when the teacher recommends letting the singles "self-ply" or "ply back on itself" to test the yarn size? It's a simple technique that one often sees in classes but isn't usually described in spinning books.
Drop Spindle Plying
Plying on a Spindle by Maggie Casey
This method is easy! In fact, there are many ways to do it: Andean plying, multiple spindles, center-pull ball, and more. Maggie has tried them all and she prefers to transfer the singles from her spindle to a storage device (such as a felt ball) before plying. She wraps the yarn around small felt balls and puts each ball in its own upside-down clay flowerpots threading the yarn through the hole in the bottom to manage the yarn while she plies—a trick she learned from Rita Buchanan.
Reasons to Ply Yarn
The Art of Ply by Judith MacKenzie
As many spinning teachers will tell you, this method covers a multitude of sins—at least of the textile kind! It does this in a number of ways: it makes the finished yarn more consistent, much stronger, and certainly more stable. The consistency comes from averaging out the diameters of the singles as they are plied together. When we ply, thin and thick places will often merge together, and when they don't, there are good plying tricks to help this happen. Of course, the more singles used to make a plied yarn, the more opportunities available to make an even yarn. It also takes only a third of the time it takes to spin the original singles and plied yarn will make much more fabric than the singles will.
Chain Plying
Plying Chained Singles by Dodie Rush
Commonly known among spinners as "Navajo-plying," plying chained singles produces a three-ply yarn from a bobbin of singles yarn and is accomplished by "chaining" loops; each new loop is drawn through the previous loop. With this technique, you can create the appearance and stability of three-ply yarn from one bobbin of singles instead of three. You may be familiar with chaining a warp for weaving, creating a crochet chain, or making a chain stitch in embroidery, but you can't make a stable yarn just chaining a strand of spun singles. The chained singles need sufficient twist in the opposite direction to balance the twist of the singles.
Andean Plying
by Rudy Amann
For spinners using handspindles, the Andean plying method is an easy way to ply the yarn from a spindle. It is also a great way to ply small samples—a spinner's equivalent to a knitter's swatch. Rudy spins a singles for about twenty minutes and then uses the Andean hand wrap to prepare the yarn for plying.
This free plying tutorial download is an essential resource.

The Amos-4 communications satellite was successfully launched into space on Saturday night from Kazakhstan.Jewish Press News Briefs
Spacecom, operator of the AMOS satellite fleet, announced that Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) has selected Space International Services, Ltd. (SIS) to launch the AMOS-4 commercial satellite. The launch is scheduled to take place this Saturday night from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.
AMOS-4 will be the second AMOS satellite launched by SIS on its Zenit-3SLB launch vehicle. AMOS-3 was launched to its 4ºW orbital position in 2008 on the same vehicle. AMOS-4's launch weight will be approximately 4.2 tons, demonstrating that SIS has significantly increased the Zenit-3SLB vehicle's performance since the AMOS-3 launch.
The satellite is expected to have a lifespan of 12 years.
Here are some photos from its construction and transportation to the launch site.

Ten out of the 15 countries with the worst religious freedom abuses are Muslim, according to the recently released U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) 2013 Annual Report identifying the status of religious freedom throughout the world, and citing countries that are the least tolerant of religious freedom.
IRFA requires the President of the United States, who has delegated this authority to the Secretary of State, to designate as "countries of particular concern," or CPCs, those governments that have engaged in or tolerated "particularly severe" violations of religious freedom.
IRFA defines "particularly severe" violations as ones that are "systematic, ongoing, and egregious," including acts such as torture, prolonged detention without charges, disappearances, or "other flagrant denial[s] of the right to life, liberty, or the security of persons."
After a country is designated a CPC, the President is required by law to take action to remedy the situation, or to invoke a waiver if circumstances warrant (As the late JFK put it: He may be an SOB, but he's our SOB).
For the 2013 Annual Report, USCIRF recommends that the Secretary of State re-designate the following eight countries as CPCs: Burma, China, Eritrea, Iran, North Korea, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, and Uzbekistan.
USCIRF also finds that seven other countries meet the CPC threshold and should be so designated: Egypt, Iraq, Nigeria, Pakistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Vietnam.
USCIRF also places countries on its Tier 2 list, where the country is on the threshold of a CPC status, meaning that the violations engaged in or tolerated by the government are particularly severe and that at least one, but not all three, of the elements of the "systematic, ongoing, egregious" standard is met.
The Tier 2 designation provides advance warning of negative trends that could develop into severe violations of religious freedom, thereby giving policymakers an opportunity to engage early and increasing the likelihood of preventing or diminishing the violations. USCIRF has concluded that the following eight countries meet the Tier 2 standard in this reporting period: Afghanistan, Azerbaijan, Cuba, India, Indonesia, Kazakhstan, Laos, and Russia.
But not to worry – the State Department has issued indefinite waivers on taking any action against Uzbekistan and Saudi Arabia. As a result of these waivers, the United States has not implemented any policy response tied to the CPC designation for either country.
Gives a whole new meaning to the slogan "Freedom must be earned."
In Egypt, the government has failed to protect Coptic Christians, who comprise 10 percent of the country's 90 million people. The Copts have been tortured and killed and individuals continue to be prosecuted, convicted, and imprisoned for "contempt" or "defamation" of religion (Islam).
Somebody should start boycotting Egyptian products…
In Iran, religious freedom for minorities has deteriorated over the last year, a bad year for the Baha'is, Christians, and Sufi Muslims. The Report details that, "physical attacks, harassment, detention, arrests, and imprisonment" intensified.
Jews, Armenian and Assyrian Christians, and Zoroastrians have faced harassment, intimidation, discrimination, arrests, and imprisonment. Anyone who has dissented against the government, a theocratic republic, including Majority Shi'i and minority Sunni Muslims, have been intimidated, harassed, and detained. Several dissidents and human rights defenders have been sentenced to death and executed for "waging war against God."
Human sacrifice, that must be their god's favorite pastime.Yori Yanover
The European Union's foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton said nuclear talks between Iran and six world powers have collapsed.
Ashton said on Saturday that the two sides "remain far apart on substance," after a second and, apparently, final day of negotiations in Almaty, Kazakhstan.
Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said there was no agreement further talks – neither a date nor a place have been set.
Iran's chief nuclear negotiator Saeed Jalili admitted there were differences between the two sides. He reiterated Iran's position that it has a right to enrich uranium, and complained that Tehran was not receiving recognition, as well as more concessions from world powers, before agreeing to curtail its uranium enrichment production. He also stated that the demands and the sanctions "are a sign of enmity towards the people of Iran."
In the two days of meetings in Kazakhstan, the major powers had hoped to reach a compromise with Iran, whom they believe is engaged in a covert effort to produce nuclear bombs.
Delegates from the U.S., Britain, France, Russia, China and Germany met with Iranian officials on proposals that would have allowed for exceptions to the international sanctions program against Iran, if the Iranians would shut down their nuclear facilities and turn over their stockpile of enriched uranium.
Earlier, a spokesman for Ashton urged Iran to take a "confidence-building step" and reassure the international community it is not engaged in a nuclear weapons program for military purposes.
Iran claims that its nuclear program has only peaceful purposes, namely power generation.
The United States attended the talks with the four other permanent members of the UN Security Council: Britain, France, Russia and China, as well as Germany.Yori Yanover

Thanks Steve and Morten, appreciate the kind words.
I really can't get enough of the little pygmy gobies so fun to shoot! These (there were actually two) were hiding among some flamboyant cuttlefish eggs under a coconut shell, which I thought was kind of funny.
I'll be sure to post an updated gallery as I make it through my pictures
02 October 2015 - 06:17 PM
I got a little ways through my pictures, and have some to share! Thanks again for the feedback
28 August 2015 - 02:52 PM
Hi Tim
Very true, worst case I have to try to get creative with my shots. And actually, might make a good pre-trip test for this weekend
Thanks! I'll be sure to share some pics when I get back

Say what?!?
I had a yo-yo when I was little, but the only thing I could make it do was swing it around my head like a lasso and try to knock stuff off of the bookcase.
My nephew got a good Duncan yo-yo yesterday (not from me), and my husband, dad and brother were all showing him how to "yo-yo" and having a great time reminiscing and doing all sorts of tricks. The boy? He tried once and went back to the cell phone his dad gave him. Sigh.
Actually, yo-yos are big right now. There are lots of people of all ages who are learning amazing yo-yo skills and taking part in competitions. My 13 year-old would rather have a new yo-yo over just about any other gift. We're close to the National Yo-Yo Museum in Chico (google it) and there are players all around the world. It is a great skill for young ones and can be very entertaining. You can see all kinds of videos on YouTube, Yoyoexpert, and other sites.
Definitely interactive, immerssive and giggle-bites o' fun.
never had any luck with a yo-yo. Some people are just not very deft. A crufty programmer but an average equestrian, at best. Oh well, I appreciate those with physical skills.
I remember needed to stand on a stool to play with my yo-yo. I was so short that if I didn't, it would hit the ground every time.

The German Department in Clongowes aims to inculcate in students an awareness of and appreciation of the German language and the culture of German speaking regions. We try to build confidence through developing communicative proficiency and to develop systematically the core skills of reading, writing, listening and speaking.
We strive to prepare students to realise their full potential in the Junior and Leaving Certificate examinations, which all boys sit. The German courses develop students' critical thought in their usage of the language, with particular emphasis on encouraging learner autonomy.
We also try to promote use of purposeful, appropriate and accurate German and accommodate the needs of all learning styles by using a variety of methodologies in teaching.
