Good Design Takes The Most Mundane of Acts—Such As Entering A Room–And Turns It Into An Experience!
I'm working on a design project for a living room, but because of the layout of the room, I also have to give great consideration to the foyer. I've been pulling my ideas together and thought it was the perfect time to share a few design tips for decorating foyers.
Whether large or small, the design goals for any foyer should be to Define It, to Personalize It and to Enhance It!
Try Paint
Painting your foyer walls is a great way to define the space while at the same time setting the tone for the rest of your home. I love how the bold orange wall of this foyer plays off the furniture and art that sits within the home. The color captivates you upon entering and will continue to engage you as you move through the home. And, those glass doors, while not for everyone and not workable in every home, help to make the foyer space more intimate. ( I wonder how may times someone has run into that glass??)
Wow them with Wallpaper
If you're looking to define your foyer in a more stylized way, wallpaper might be the right solution. Wallpaper works great in foyers with a single wall and can provide the visual backdrop that sets this space apart from the rest of the home.
I tend to love a larger, bolder print for a foyer but,
The mix of black and white patterns with a pop of red really give this foyer space a distinct personality.
a smaller scale pattern can be just as effective. When using a patterned wallpaper in your foyer, keep the other elements solid or more toned down and let their shape and design details stand out.
Add Fun Furniture
Walking into a foyer where a "fun" or "unique" piece of furniture has been placed really gives the vibe of that home an exciting feel.
A thrift store furniture piece painted a bold, vibrant color is a good option for a foyer, just as a piece of furniture with lots of architectural details is.
I see this style of table in Goodwill all the time, but imagining it is a bright color gives it a whole new appeal. Or, think about wallpapering the table for an even bolder statement.
I also love the idea of a beautiful chest to define a foyer space.
Designer Tobi Fairley had this piece painted for her foyer and set it against a dynamic black and white floral wallpaper pattern.
If space is at a premium in your home, try a skirted console table in your foyer that offers storage underneath while still keeping things stylish. This is a great option for an open foyer because the boxed in skirt helps to create a visual boundary within the space.
Artful Accessorizing
Just like every other area of your home, accessories can make or break the design impact in your foyer. Be a bit more adventurous and use an eclectic mix of accessories to make the space really personal.
Instead of table lamps, why not opt for floor lamps flanking a console table. I love the simple details of these lamps and the understated color palette for this foyer. Also notice the layering of accessories that make the tabletop visually interesting.
Foyers are a great space to create a gallery wall setup. A mirror combined with artwork or a collection of framed photos will have lots of impact. The stacked art and tall mirror play up the visual height of this foyer while still keeping the space interesting.
Framed family photos are a great way to make your foyer personal and warm. Keep the frames similar for a stronger impression.
I love how this round mirror serves as the focal point of this foyer arrangement and the layered photos and accessories on the tabletop combine to create a beautiful vignette.
Even in a narrow foyer, a small piece of furniture, a long rug and mirrors hung opposite each other help to make this space look larger and more dynamic.
Whether you define your foyer with paint, wallpaper, furniture or wall decor, the result is to create a welcoming environment that makes your guest feel right at home. Be bold, be adventurous and turn your foyer into an experience!

This week I stray slightly from the topic of Astronomy to discuss another very commonly observed phenomena in the night sky. If you venture outside to look at the stars in any evening over the next few months, as you look into the great vault of darkness overhead you are sure to see not only stars, but moving lights in the sky. Nearly all of the moving lights in the night sky are man-made.
If you had any luck this past weekend , you now know what meteors look like. Unfortunately, Saturday night we had heavy clouds over most of Connecticut at the peak of the shower (and yes, I checked at 10, 12, 2 and 3 just to be sure — I'm kind of hooked on this meteor shower). As I write this on Sunday night, I'm outside again (loving my Android tablet) with much better prospects of picking up some late Perseids - clear skies all around.
The best time to look for satellites is from 1 to 3 hours after sunset (or before sunrise, but even I won't be getting up to see satellites at those hours). At those times, satellites traversing the sky above us are still lit by the sun, which has sunk beneath our horizon here on Earth, but is still above the horizon in orbit overhead. I've found that August through October is prime satellite hunting season, mostly because darkness comes at a convenient time, and it isn't too cold out to sit still for a few minutes.
A satellite will look like a drifting star, moving much slower than a meteor. The most common moving lights, at least where I'm located near a small airport, are airplanes. A high-flying airplane can be easily mistaken as a satellite in your first attempt at observing. But a satellite will never show a colored light, and will never blink like the collision avoidance strobe lights that are on every airplane.
Satellites are seen by reflecting sunlight off their surfaces, and in particular their solar panels. The brightness of the satellite will change gradually, as the surface reflecting light in your direction drifts out of pointing toward you. The brightest satellites rival the brightest stars, while the average satellite may be as bright as a common star. If you can see more than a few stars from where you are located, you have an excellent chance of seeing satellites.
If you go out at 9 or so in August through October, and look up for at least 15 minutes, you are sure to catch one or more satellites. During these time periods there are dozens of satellites passing overhead. The human eye is very good at recognizing objects in motion - in fact, I've often seen satellites that would have been too dim for me to notice had they not been moving.
When you sight a satellite, note the time and the direction it was moving. When you are done observing, go to www.heavens-above.com and you can enjoy the second part of the hobby of satellite observing — you can identify what you saw.
You enter your location (town name is fine, latitude and longitude is better) and you can easily get a list of everything that passed overhead in the past 48 hours. The direction and altitude (degrees above the horizon) of each satellite is listed, with the time. The names listed are mostly catalog names, but with a link that provides more information. You can also look ahead in time to see what will be coming in the next 48 hours.
The skill of picking out satellites against a starry sky is not hard to learn — I find that all of my students are able to do this within the first couple nights of class, and in fact to keep them entertained while waiting for their turn at the telescope, I sometimes hand out a list of the satellites that we are expecting to see that night. My 4 year old son is very adept at finding satellites, when he is paying attention.
Generally speaking, satellites traveling west to east are utility satellites — communications, weather observatories, or small experiments. Satellites traveling north to south or south to north are passing over most of the Earth's surface — these are mapping satellites, usually for military purposes. Most of those that we see here in the U.S. are of Chinese or Russian origin.
By far, the most commonly observed satellites are not satellites themselves, but the upper stages of the rockets that launched the satellites. These are more visible than the actual satellites simply because they are physically larger.
There are currently about 2,500 satellites orbiting Earth, several hundred of which remain functional. There are roughly 1,400 Soviet/Russian vehicles and 1,000 American spacecraft, and several other countries with a handful. There are about as many spent stages orbiting as well.
Back on Sunday night, when I started writing this entry, my final "score" was 10 Perseid meteors, and 9 satellites sighted in about 75 minutes. (And about 30 planes...).

Discounted Fertility Drugs and Fees Help Heroes Overcome Infertility
Austin, Texas (PRWEB) July 08, 2014
A new fertility drug discount program for service men and women complements the longtime 50% military discount program offered by Texas Fertility Center in Austin, Round Rock and San Antonio.
Compassionate Corps, offered by EMD Serono, provides access to free fertility drugs to eligible medically retired service men or women (and their spouses) who have suffered injuries that prevent conception. Because of TFCs established commitment to serving our nations military, the fertility practice was one of the first to be considered for inclusion in the Compassionate Corps program.
Since 2000, Texas Fertility Center has recognized the amazing sacrifices of our armed forces by making infertility care accessible and affordable to our nations heroes, says Dr. Anthony Propst, decorated and retired Air Force Colonel and director of TFCs Round Rock fertility clinic.
Dr. Propst, former Director of IVF at Wilford Hall Medical Center, San Antonio and one-time Chief Consultant to the Air Force Surgeon General, consulted on the Compassionate Corps program.
Fertility Affordability Programs Leave No Man or Woman Behind
U.S. Military fertility coverage provided by TRICARE does not extend to the advanced treatment of in vitro fertilization - IVF, or fertility preservation. These mission critical services can oftentimes provide the only viable option for men and women facing severe infertility, or the reproductive challenges caused by deployment.
According to Pentagon statistics, more than 1,830 Iraq and Afghanistan war veterans suffered injuries that significantly impaired their ability to have children.
Fertility drug discounts, coupled with TFCs discounted physician fees, help ease the burden for our nations heroes who are forced to pay out of pocket for infertility treatment, Dr. Propst says.
The military discount, provided by TFC board certified reproductive endocrinologists, applies to the following fertility treatment options:
More on Compassionate Corps
Compassionate Corps is a new outreach effort serving veterans and their spouses. EMD Serono offers Compassionate Care and Compassionate Corps through select fertility centers in the United States, including Texas Fertility Center.
Active military and veterans who have served our country should have every opportunity to start a family, added Kaylen Silverberg, M.D. with TFC. It is our great honor to fight to restore fertility for the brave heroes who fought for us.
About Texas Fertility Center
Texas Fertility Center (TFC), one of the nations leading full-service infertility practices, provides advanced Infertility and Reproductive Endocrinology services to patients throughout Texas, the Southwestern United States, and the Americas. Since 1980, TFC has been recognized nationally and internationally for outstanding pregnancy rates, cutting-edge laboratory procedures, and innovative research programs.

Tribune-Star Correspondent
Quarterback Andrew Luck running the Pistol offense? Wide receiver T.Y. Hilton lining up in the Wildcat?
According to new offensive coordinator Pep Hamilton, the Indianapolis Colts will show opposing defenses a lot of different sets and schemes next season.
Hamilton's plans for the Colts offense will differ from what former coordinator Bruce Arians did this past season. Some elements of Arians' offense, however, are expected to remain.
"I think it's important that we have balance in our offense. We're not just a one-dimensional football team. We want to create conflicts for our opponents. We want to have the ability to not only push the ball downfield and hit the big play in the passing game but we've got to be able to run the football and hammer the nail saw," Hamilton said Wednesday in his first face-to-face meeting with the Colts media.
"We're going to work hard to do that, work hard to establish balance in the offense. We want to control the clock. We want to be really good on third down and really good in the red zone. We have to play great situational football. On first and second down, there's no can't do's."
The former Stanford assistant coach is looking for balance on offense.
"We'll do a great job of mixing in some power runs, mixing in the downfield passing game, maybe even mixing in some wildcat plays, mix in some read-option, pistol-type schemes," Hamilton said.
"Just really try and present once again a lot of conflicts for our opponents."
That includes coming up with some surprises.
"It's obvious just based on production that we had in the passing game this past season, that we're a team that can push the ball downfield. That should create paranoia for our opponents. [Wide receivers] Reggie Wayne, T.Y. Hilton, Donnie Avery, our tight ends, guys that can really run and get downfield and make the big play in the passing game, and of course Andrew [Luck]," he explained.
"He did a really good job of improvising, of managing broken plays and escaping the pocket and making an accurate throw on the move. That's a talent and a gift that we can continue to use to our advantage."
Hamilton had interviewed for the head coaching job at Oregon when he was contacted for the offensive coordinator's job in Indianapolis. He explained why he opted to come to the Colts.
"The opportunity to win the championship of all championships and ultimately have a chance to work for a storied franchise like the Colts franchise and work for [team owner] Mr. [Jim] Irsay and [general manager] Ryan Grigson and [head coach] Chuck Pagano, I felt like it was an amazing opportunity," he explained.
"The NFL is all about the haves and the have nots. Either you have a franchise quarterback or you don't. I think we all feel good about the potential of the young quarterback that we have here with this franchise."
After recently working on the collegiate level, Hamilton has been experiencing life as an NFL assistant.
"It's a lot different than the typical college coach's working today. I'm not taking breaks to make recruiting calls, going to compliance meetings or going to check and seeing if guys are attending study hall which we didn't have that issue at Stanford," he said.
"It's been all football, all day, sun up to sun down. I can honestly say that in the two-and-a-half, three weeks that I've been here at this facility, I've only seen sunlight maybe twice."
Hamilton is counting on his NFL influences to help him prepare for his first year with the Colts.
"I think I've paid my dues. I think I've benefited tremendously by having the opportunity to work with the Paul Hackett and the Norv Turners and the Mike Heimerdingers of the world. I think it just really helped me to in a sense think outside the box," he voiced.
"But the West Coast offense is traditionally a short passing game, higher percentage completion offense, a good mix of power runs and of course some play action passes. Well the Norv Turner offense, the [Don] Coryell system, is somewhat the opposite. It's still a power running game and some play action passes but they do a good job of mixing in the shot plays, the play action shot plays, the intermediate throws. Once again, I wouldn't pigeonhole us and say that we're just a one-dimensional certain style of offense."
• Combine begins next week — The annual National Football Scouting Combine is set to begin set to begin next Thursday at Lucas Oil Stadium.
Workouts will be closed to the general public. The combine will wrap up Feb. 26. NFL Network will provide television coverage.

---- — Four Merrimack Valley auto dealerships are promoting youth fitness in their communities by contributing cash and equipment to local soccer leagues throughout the 2013 season.
Amesbury Chevrolet is supporting the Amesbury Soccer Association. Bill DeLuca Chevrolet Buick GMC of Haverhill is behind Haverhill Youth Soccer. Located in Andover, Bill DeLuca's Woodworth Chevrolet-Cadillac backs the Andover Soccer Association. In Lawrence, Commonwealth Motors sponsors Lawrence Youth Soccer.
Their donations include soccer balls, ball bags and pumps, field cones, coach's kits, corner flags, scrimmage vests, practice goals and first aid kits. In addition, the sponsored soccer leagues get Chevrolet service coupons to distribute as incentives to boost community support.
They are also eligible to raise funds by participating in the 2013 Chevrolet Youth Soccer Breakaway Sweepstakes, with a grand prize of a 2014 Chevrolet Traverse, along with additional prizes of high-definition televisions provided by the local dealerships.
Sponsorship by Amesbury Chevrolet, Bill DeLuca Chevrolet, Woodworth Chevrolet and Commonwealth Motors entitles players to attend skill clinics conducted by local professional soccer coaches.
The dealerships are participating in the Chevrolet Youth Soccer Program, a nationwide initiative conducted by the Chevrolet unit of General Motors. This year, the program will assist 285 organizations in the northeast, with Chevrolet dealers giving more than $450,000 in monetary and equipment donations.
Pump prices drop again
Driving became less expensive again last week. Gasoline prices in Massachusetts and New Hampshire dropped for the third consecutive period, according to state-by-state averaging by the auto club AAA. The coast-to-coast, national average also fell for the third straight week, the group reported.
The Massachusetts statewide average for self-service regular gas dipped below $3.70 per gallon, reaching $3.694 on Wednesday. That was 3.1 cents lower than the prior Wednesday's average of $3.725, AAA figures showed. Wednesday's Bay State average was 3.0 cents below the state level on the same day of 2012, when self-service regular stood at $3.724 per gallon.
The New Hampshire average edged 2.8 cents lower, to $3.635 as of Wednesday, from $3.663 seven days earlier, according to AAA. On the same day last year, the Granite State average was $3.666, or 3.1 cents higher than Wednesday's level.
The overall national average dropped more substantially last week. On Wednesday, AAA recorded a U.S. average of $3.539 for self-service regular gas, a drop of 6.1 cents from the prior week's $3.600. Wednesday's national average was 16.3 cents below the $3.702 reported on the same day of 2012.

I recently read a delightful dissertation, which I really recommend to you called, "Bapto-Catholocism: Recovering Tradition and Reconsidering the Baptist Identity," available in full-text as a PDF from Baylor.
The author, Cameron Jorgenson—a fellow Fuller alum who is now a professor Campbell's div school—discusses the document "Re-envisioning Baptist Identity: A Manifesto for Baptist Communities in North America," which was composed by Curtis Freeman of Duke Divinity, the late James Wm. McClendon of Fuller Seminary (and husband of the incredible Nancey Murphy, also of Fuller), Barry Harvey of Baylor University, Elizabeth Newman of the Baptist Theological Seminary at Richmond, Mikael Broadway of Shaw Divinity, and Philip Thompson of Sioux Falls Seminary. The document was later signed by other cool people such as Stanley Grenz, Roger Olson, Glen Stassen, etc.
The document was apparently instrumental in the development of a disorganized but significant movement of Baptists with a new approach to Baptist identity, which some have termed "Bapto-Catholicism." Jorgenson says (see pp. 123-125) the main points of Bapto-Catholicism were described by Steve Harmon in his book Towards Baptist Catholicity (part of the Paternoster Studies in Baptist History & Thought series) as follows:
- "First, Harmon argues that Bapto-Catholics see tradition as a source of authority."
- "Second, according to Harmon, Bapto-Catholics believe that there is a place for creeds in liturgy and catechesis."
- "Third, Bapto-Catholics approach liturgy as the context for formation by tradition."
- "Fourth, Bapto-Catholics see community as the locus of authority."
- "Fifth, Harmon observes that Bapto-Catholics have a sacramental emphasis in their theology."
- "Sixth, Harmon claims that Bapto-Catholics approach their task as a constructive retrieval of theology."
- "Seventh, according to Harmon, Bapto-Catholics engage in "thick" ecumenism."
Jorgenson's own list differs slightly (pp. 126-127):
"1) theological in its methodological orientation,
2) postmodern in its philosophical assumptions,
3) congregationally centered in its hermeneutics and practices,
4) catholic in its approach to tradition, especially with respect to sacraments and liturgy, and
5) ecumenical in its aim."
As someone drawn to both Baptist and Anglican ways of doing church, I was instantly drawn in and excited to learn more. I now have a giant reading list to attend to.
But what I found equally fascinating was Jorgenson's suggestion that Bapto-Catholicism is an attempt to resolve a "crisis" in the Baptist "tradition" (in a McIntyrian sense), since the two sides of the SBC/CBF split—the "conservatives" ("fundamentalists!") and "moderates" ("liberals!)—were both part of the modern era. As Baptist move into postmodernity, identity must be conceived of in new ways, and the Bapto-Catholic approach is one such attempt which is specifically more postmodern, non-foundationalist, etc.

If campaign fundraising is any factor in determining who will represent Marin County in the U.S. House of Representatives, Jared Huffman is a step closer to raising his hand and taking the oath of office in Washington, D.C.
The Democrat from San Rafael is leaving his Republican opponent, Dan Roberts of Tiburon, in his rear-view mirror in the race for the California 2nd Congressional District seat, according to recently filed campaign finance documents.
According to a report in the Marin Independent Journal, Huffman raised $161,181 between July 1 and Sept. 30, and Roberts collected $20,595. Roberts, who has had a successful career in business, has been forced to fund his own campaign with loans to himself to the tune of $210,000.
Still, Huffman has about four times the money still left to spend — if he needs to.
Roberts has emphasized his private-sector business experience and bottom-up administrative philosophy. At a debate earlier this month at Dominican University in San Rafael, he said his priorities would be to curtail excess government spending, cut taxes and eliminate unnecessary regulations that restrict the ability to start new businesses.
Huffman, an environmental attorney and six-year assemblyman representing Marin and southern Sonoma counties, said his plan in Washington would be to overcome partisan gridlock, cut the military budget, protect Medicare and Social Security, build on affordable heath care, tackle the national debt and address global warming.
Congresswoman Lynn Woolsey, D-Petaluma, who has represented Marin and Sonoma counties in Washington for the past 19 years in the 6th District, announced in June 2011 that she would not be seeking re-election after her 10th term expired this fall. Huffman and Roberts emerged as the frontrunners in the newly redrawn 2nd District.

Round midnight
10:29am Monday 28th January 2013 in Letters By Reader's letter
WITH regard to your note at the bottom of David Brook's recent letter (January 17), the Pauper Kings did stop playing before midnight, for a thirty second countdown to midnight, then started playing again.
I know – I was there.

What to order when "forced" to eat at chain/non-Chow worthy restaurants? Advice and finds...
Once in a while, you may find yourself at a restaurant that just isn't foodie-friendly. Whether you're having a weak moment, or are going there because someone else got to choose the restaurant (don't you just hate when that happens?), you're going to have to eat something. When you do, what do you tend to order or stay away from?
For example, something I stay away from are pasta dishes because I prefer handmade pasta when eating out.
Last night we ended up at Milestones, mainly because we live in Markham and I didn't feel like Asian food and there are not a lot of great non-Asian options here. A find for me at Milestones is the American burger - some people won't love that they actually use real cheddar (instead of a processed cheese slice) on this classic sandwich - but actually, I prefer it. I ask for the bacon crispy.
Another find for me was the omelet at Milestones - it was one of the best I ever had, but I imagine it varies location to location. I was at the Whitby location.
A chain I seem to end up at about twice a year is the Keg. I love their garlic mashed potatoes and always order onion strings to go with my steak. Their Billy Minor pie is great too - and free if you go on your birthday.
Hoping to hear everyone's thoughts!
You and I have the same thing at The Keg. :). And the Billy Miner is excellent.
I usually end up ordering a salad or a chicken dish at chain places. Those are mostly tough to mess up. For example, the guys I work with like Earls. Shocking, I know :). I usually have the pistachio crusted chicken salad. It's ok.
Having worked in chain restaurants for many years before I finally "saw the light" (!), I know that most, if not all soups, sauces, dressings, etc. are not made in house, but are purchased and very likely full of preservatives and additives. So I'm with you on staying away from pasta dishes, and try to find the most "unprocessed" items on the menu - some salads, maybe grilled chicken, or like you, a burger.
Luckily, most of the people I eat out with also avoid chain restaurants, so it's not often an issue.
I always just order a cab. ;P
The chains I *had to* attend most frequently are:
-Jack Astor's
My strategy is to get a few people to share a bunch of appetizers. These places rarely mess up the deep-fried or the dips. They send them out in masses, so these are usually freshly (re)-fried. I have no problem with that. I would usually get a spring mix (sans the optional proteins) for main, and tell them to bring whatever that's on tap.
I've found the appetizers and salads at Joey to be decent.I like their wings, calamari and fish tacos.
I stay away from dumplings, sushi and curries at chain restaurants.
For whatever reason, I like avocado spring rolls, which only seem to show up on menus in chain restos, and I usually order them when I see them on a menu.
I have relatives who really love Earl's and Milestones and not much else, so I've had to eat there a few times over the years. I'm vegetarian, so I usually just stick to salads and dessert (the bread isn't worth it). I remember that the Keg used to have a decent veggie burger, but that was a long time ago so I'm not sure it's still true.
re: piccola
I like the salads at Earl's.
I think the food quality at Joey and Earl's is better than the food quality than the pub grub/bar food at a few non-chain pubs/bars around town, and better than the food at other chains in ON. I'd prefer Joey to O+B Grill at Bayview Village. While I'd rather support the little guy when possible, I like the food at Earl's better than the food on my most recent visit to Allen's or The Old Nick.
Another chain I like is Aroma Espresso. I really like their pastries.
I had some good meals at Milestones out west 10+ years ago, but most meals I've had Milestones in ON have been fair to poor. The food at the location near the airport was awful the one time I dined there. Seems to vary from location to location.
re: piccola
Usually chicken wings. Chains usually get good sized ones. One of my guilty pleasures is Boston Pizza's wings. When visiting my wife's family in Simcoe, Ontario, it's "the place". They do something i really like. Fry the wing to partially cook it and finish in the oven. You have to request it that way, and probably not all locations would accomodate.
I never order anything "ethnic". Some chains will have jerk chicken sandwiches or butter chicken or something like that. Usually the flavours are really too tame to bother.
A true foodie carries a cyanide capsule for just such occasions when the dining locale is beneath his or her expectorations. Merely order a glass of water. Neither taste nor hard-earned cash is wasted. Once the body is dragged out, everyone else can go ahead and have a really good time.
Great post! I have this nightmare on a regular basis... Unfortunately the one where I was forced to go to the Old Spaghetti Factory is still burned in my head. I can still smell the old stale mop smell. Can't remember what I had (had to get counseling for that), but I'm tormented because you seem to have a half full glass approach to this subject, whereas all I'm experiencing are nightmarish images of burnt cheese on gratin dishes and kids with crayons or something of the like.... I'll have to think about this and try to find a silver lining. The only guilty pleasure I can think of is the odd McDonald's hamburger (yes, the ones that kids get) and the apple pie. Not sure if that cuts it but I'll keep thinking... if I have to.
Had a similar dilemma this past weekend...
Was really looking forward to trying Kingyo (recommended by a fellow hound) Dad was not feeling that "adventurous".
Wound up at the Keg Mansion. Oh well.
New York-med rare, Baked Potato, etc.
It was fine, though not in the "fine dining" sense.
More like "ok".
re: kwfoodiewannabe
I like the iceburg wedge with top sirloin when I'm at the Keg. http://www.kegsteakhouse.com/en/menus...
re: kwfoodiewannabe
Another chain we sometimes end up at is the Pickle Barrel. I've tried the fish tacos three times. The first time they were very good, the second time they were "meh" and the third time they were good. It must depend on the chef since all three times it was the same location. I've enjoyed their breakfast items in the past.

The authors conducted a subcortical analysis of first-episode, medication-naÏ ve patients with major depressive disorder comorbid with panic disorder. The patient group had smaller volumes of left hippocampus, thalamus, and putamen. Subcortical and hippocampal volumes in the patient group showed significant negative correlations with symptom severity.
An fMRI study was launched to understand mechanisms of Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients with apathy. The authors reviewed seven AD patients with apathy and six AD patients without apathy. Under "sad versus neutral" stimulation, non-apathetic AD patients had increased activity in bilateral amygdala and bilateral fusiform gyrus, whereas apathetic AD patients only had increased activities in bilateral fusiform gyrus. Thus, the amygdala was the possible anatomical structure related to apathy in AD patients.
Executive functioning (EF) is an important cognitive domain that is negatively affected in a number of neuropsychiatric conditions. The authors found that the frontal, parietal, and cerebellar lobes were most frequently associated with EF when comparing results from different clinical populations; the occipital lobe was not correlated with EF in any group.

This triumphant three-way is a switch-hitting fuck with Collin O'Neal, Jay Black, and Matt Cole going at it on the rocky ground by a volcanic beach. They have little interest in the island scenery however; they are focused on each other. The action is intense and culminates with all three jocks shooting huge, heavy, loads.

Ecclesia Church in Houston, Texas, whose website describes the church as a "holistic missional Christian community," invited local artists to submit original artwork depicting each of the Stations of the Cross.
Young 10-year old artist Jackson Potts II, who has been studying photography with his photographer father for several years, was given the commission to produce a photograph showing Station #7, Jesus Falls For the Second Time.
Young Potts chose to interpret the scene by replacing the Roman soldier with a contemporary police officer, and he depicted the innocence of Jesus using a child, his own brother, to portray the fallen Christ.
The church was offended by the photograph, according to ABC News, and would not display the photograph in the church art gallery, Xnihilo. The decision by church officials has led two gallery directors to resign, but the church did create a blog about the whole incident. You can follow all the links in the curator's blog for further information, including links to local media coverage.
The church gave a variety of reasons for rejecting the photograph ranging from "the photograph would scare young children who trust and respect police officers" to "we felt it was provocative in the wrong way" to "[it] did not draw people closer to the risen Christ."
Which brings me to my questions:
- If this were your church, would you have allowed the photograph to be viewed? If not, why?
- Is the purpose of art to convey the church's message or the artist's message?
- When a church engages artists to produce artwork, should there be any restrictions on what they produce? If so, what?
These are pertinent questions as increasing numbers of churches engage artists in producing artwork to be shown for church purposes. Are we returning to "church art" of the Medieval period where the church was both patron and censor, or are churches genuinely interested in hearing what artists have to say? What do you think, and more importantly, what would you have done in this situation? Fire away in the comment section.

Would my church censor this art? Absolutely. What does a ten year old boy know about the complexity of the gospel presentation? Obviously, from the so-called "art" displayed in your blog, not much. What kind of church asks a ten-year-old to submit art about the stations of the cross, anyway? The church made the right choice to pull the piece, given the awkward position that they created for themselves. It was stupid to ask the kid to submit in the first place. At least they recognized their error and corrected their way.
Where in scripture does it say Jesus fell and was beaten as he walked along? Jesus was a grown-up, hardly an innocent child. And is the policeman really a symbol for the Roman army? Rome was a military occupying force, not your local beat officer.
This "art" has the symbolic sophistication of a music video. In other words, no sophistication at all.
Final comment: this is yet another example of adults putting children in situations for which they are not ready. The curator, with his little protest blog, has no ground to stand on.
Wow, I love it. It got me thinking about that station in a new way, even after having seen countless other renditions of it. I once stayed in a Catholic center in Kenya where they had painted the stations of the cross using a modern interpretation and the guards were police… haven't forgotten it.
My only concern would be what kids at my church would think of it (and I'm not sure).
i would like to correct a few facts:
the Curator did not resign in protest. However two members of the Gallery's Board of Directors did.
The blog is not a protest blog but an official Gallery Blog (JacksonsStation.blogspot.com). it was set up because when the elders of the church told jackson his peice would not be able to be shown in the gallery, they agreed to allow it to be up on the gallery's website. it was decided that a blog would be better because it would allow transparency and dialogue within the community about the peice.
This is definetly what our children need. THE TRUTH! Never hide the eyes of your children from the truth. I only wish there was someone who cared enough about me when i was a child (age 5-18) to teach me sex, drugs, alcohol, (i was an addict of these by 12 yrs old)were killers of my soul. I thank God daily for His Son who cared enough to die for me. I wouldnt be here. Instead i was allowed even in my schools. Shameful! Satan is cunning, but God is Righteous, Halelujua!
Sister in Christ,
A church, or any organization that commissions art, has the right of refusal. If they didn't, the artist could do something ridiculous like have a naked Jesus being beaten by a shapely, naked woman with a police officer's hat. An excuse for something inappropriate, in other words.
In general, any artistic expression that is intended merely to shock people isn't a sign of artistic sophistication. It's a sign of immaturity. Regardless of the age of the artist.
I honestly find this to be a powerful, symbolic piece of art, especially from a 10-year old. It's not intended for just initial shock value. I feel like it's presented more as a way to really get you to think about the problem at hand. So many people see the fallen image of Jesus carrying the cross and don't think twice about it. But to see this image as a symbol of that event is truly thought-provoking, and hopefully spiritually inspiring. I can't say for sure one way or another whether or not my church would attempt to censor this, but I find it to be an excellent work, regardless.
Sorry for the late post-
The photo is certainly inflammatory, which I think is one valid function of art, as long as it's toward a good goal.
How to judge? I would ask, Does the photo hit home for the artist and the community of viewers? Does the image of the cop hitting the child ring true (at least debatably) to how things work in our society?
I can't really know because I'm not a part of that church, but I would think this kind of art would only be really appropriate if (1) the artist or those close to him were victims of societal oppression, or (2) the image was self-critical toward the artist or his/her community.
On the other hand, the victim in the photo leaves me a little cold. The image of the white child, taken presumably with an expensive camera and offered for display at a church that has its own arts center, doesn't do a very good job of representing any widespread experience in our society. On the contrary, the police generally do a very good job of protecting the interests of middle class white folks in the public square.
If he were being beaten by an angry father in a nice suit, it would strike a chord, since that's something we do––we abuse our own families, while everyone else perhaps looks on. Or if the kid was black, the photo would challenge our legal system for making life worse for black kids–something that would fit very well with Christ's passion. If we replaced the kid with a full-grown black man, it would really hit home. Whether we agreed or not, those would at least reflect how many people understand our society to operate.
But again, with a white kid, I just don't see what it's really supposed to be claiming in Houston, Texas. I know Jesus used a child as the symbol of vulnerability, but middle class white society has really turned that on its ear. If the kid was a different race, or somehow obviously poor, it might be different. But middle class kids are often some of the least vulnerable people around, at least when it comes to settings like a police beating.
On the second question, I imagine the people in the background are a rough cross-section of people the artist knows, so there's the potential for self-criticism. And yet, if the artist is from a white-collar family, then the photo really seems to do more to make the cop the scapegoat for societal violence, than to do any genuine self-critique. Cops would no doubt be angry at this portrayal, and I think they'd have every right to be unless the artist was either a cop him/herself or else a victim of police violence.
So I can't speak to the artist's experience as a 10-year-old, but I'm pretty sure I wouldn't show this at my church. I think it would be more likely to make us feel self-righteous than it would challenge anything.
Now I'm rethinking my comment. Maybe the idea of a cop hitting a child like this is so foreign to our experience that it can only stand in as an allegory of the beating of Jesus, so it doesn't matter that it doesn't ring true to our experience.
This would give the photo a clearer religious message (which is obviously its goal), but it wouldn't really use Jesus' passion to help on reflect on the weak that are abused in our society. I'd prefer a work that could do both at the same time, but obviously the 10-year-old is entitled to do it the way he wants.

No Child Left Behind to be revamped
President Obama plans to overhaul the No Child Left Behind law which was passed under former President George W. Bush, The New York Times reported Monday.
The Obama administration's proposed changes would alter the standards by which schools are deemed successful or not as well as eliminate the 2014 deadline for universal proficiency for American children.
The legislation set standards of learning for all schools and allocated money for students attending failing schools to leave them in favor of private or parochial institutions.
It benefited from bi-partisan support when it was passed, but has been widely viewed as unsuccessful, and Congress has wrestled with how to improve it for several years.
Reports indicate the Obama team will institute changes to the areas that educators found the most objectionable, specifically how funds are apportioned and the binary pass or fail evaluation system for schools.
The Obama proposal would see money allocated on the basis of academic progress rather than the percentage of low-income students in an area. It would also seek to divide schools into levels as opposed to simply classifying them as successful or not.

The second model year, 2004, followed afterward, with no changes as it tried to establish the nameplate as a multi-purpose ride. The manufacturer's suggested retail price for the '04 Multistrada is $11,995.
The 2004 Ducati Multistrada is officially referred to as the 2004 Ducati Multistrada 1000 DS, due to its engine displacement of 992 cubic centimeters (rounded up to 1,000 to classify it as a 1000cc bike). The engine itself is a liquid-cooled L-twin (two-cylinder) Desmodromic, which provides 84 horsepower at 8,000 revolutions per minute (RPM) and 62 pound-feet of torque at 5,000 RPM. Two intake valves go on each cylinder. The compression ratio of the engine is 10 to 1, and its bore and stroke is measured at 3.7 by 2.84 inches. The engine of the '04 Multistrada is paired with a six-speed manual transmission.
Available in black, red or silver, the 2004 Ducati Multistrada was marketed as a bike that can handle driving on all sorts of terrain, including paved road, sand and snow. It has a better-than-average suspension that consists of an inverted fork and single-sided swing arm. Also, great braking ability is provided by a dual disc brake in the front and single disc brake at the back.
Standard digital instrumentation on the 2004 Ducati Multistrada consists of a trip odometer and computer, clock, tachometer, speedometer, service reminder, and temperature and fuel amount warning indicators. Each bike has under-seat and lockable storage, tinted windshield, and adjustable handlebars. Halogen lights and side mirrors help the driver with visibility on the road, while an engine immobilizer provides a measure of security from bike thieves.
Each 2004 Ducati Multistrada has a length of around 72 inches, width of 32.7 inches and height of 50.4 inches, with a wheelbase of 57.6 inches and wet weight of 441 lbs. Its ground clearance is 6.7 inches. Fuel capacity is measured at 5.3 gallons, with a 1.7-gallon reserve. The two-piece seat, big enough for the rider and a passenger, is placed at 33.5 inches high.
The 2004 Ducati Multistrada is actually not quite the off-road ride it was promoted to be. Also, the nameplate in general never won awards for its design. However, it is a satisfactory choice for those looking for a decent cross between sports orientation and touring.

A report (PDF) by LegitScript and KnujOn claims that of the prescription drug and online pharmacy search ads on Bing (i.e. adCenter), Microsoft's search engine, 89.7% led to "rogue" Internet pharmacies. By "rogue" they mean Internet pharmacies that fall into the categories of:
- Those that facilitate the sale of prescription drugs, including controlled substances, without requiring a valid prescription.
- Those that sell drugs from sources that are not licensed as a pharmacy in any US jurisdiction.
- Those that illegally source unregulated, unapproved prescription drugs from outside of the United States.
- Those that are otherwise deceptive or misleading.
This study was done over the June or July 2009 months and only examined Bing's search ads, not the organic listings. Microsoft currently has not commented on this report.

Before I answer that question, I'm going to point out some things to you.
Point #1
There are 18 Hall of Fame Quarterbacks who played in the Super Bowl era of the NFL. Half of them didn't win a Super Bowl.
There are 20 quarterbacks who have won a Super Bowl and are eligible for the Hall of Fame. Only 9 are actually in it.
Now, some of those 9 have won multiple Super Bowls. Bart Star was the first, who played with the Hall of Fame tandem Paul Hornung, Jim Taylor, some more Hall of Famers on defense, and arguably the greatest coach of all time, Vince Lombardi.
Then there was Terry Bradshaw, who had another great backfield in Franco Harris and Rocky Bleier. Oh, the Steel Curtain also helped him out, arguably the best defense of all time.
Then came Roger Staubach, who had another legendary coach in Tom Landry, and a Doomsday Defense of his own. The Cowboys teams of the 70's always had a great running game, including one lead by Tony Dorsett.
Next was Joe Montana. Those 49's teams had some great defenses, lead by Ronnie Lott, as well as a Hall of Fame coach in Bill Walsh, and some other guy named Jerry Rice.
After that was Troy Aikmen. He played with arguably the best offensive line of all time, and the NFL's all team leading rusher Emmitt Smith. The Cowboys defense in the early 90's was one of the best at that time.
John Elway waited 15 long years, but he was able to win 2 Superbowls in his final 2 seasons. In those '97 and '98 seasons, the Broncos defense was in the top 10 for turnovers forced and points allowed. Also in those '97 and '98 season, the Broncos were a top 5 rushing team.
Jim Plunkett isn't in the Hall of Fame, but he did win 2 Superbowls. If you combined the 1980 and '84 Raider's defenses (the years they won the Superbowl), they combined for 55 interceptions, including 64 sacks in the '84 season alone. They gave up an average of 18 points per game those two years, including 17 in the playoffs. Marcus Allen was also on that '84 Raiders team, if that helps.
I'll go ahead and include some information on Tom Brady. In the 5 playoff runs leading to a Superbowl appearance, the Patriots defense gave up an average of 16.5 points, in the playoffs.
While I'm at it, why not Eli Manning? If you combined the Giants' 2007 and 2011 defenses, the years they won the Superbowl, they had a combined 101 sacks recorded, and 56 turnovers forced.
So, is it safe to say that all the teams that had great success are great teams, not just had great quarterbacks?
Point #2
In the past 5 seasons, there is this one NFL team that has rushed for an average of 108 yards per game, with 9 touchdowns per season, on average. If those were applied to this season, their rankings in comparison the rest of the NFL would be 19 and 25, respectively. Their defense over that time gave up an average of 22.5 points per game, and forced an average of 17 turnovers per season. That scoring defense this year would be 18th in the NFL, and the turnovers would be 30th. This team has gone 42-38 in that time, with one playoff appearance. So basically, they are a below average team, right?
Now, you're probably wondering about quarterback play, right? Before I get to that, consider that Tom Brady plays on a team that leads the NFL in rushing touchdowns, is 5th in points allowed, and has forced 41 turnovers, best in the AFC. Peyton Manning is on a team that is in the top 5 for just about every major defensive category. Aaron Rodgers plays on a team that is 11th in yards and points allowed, and that same defense has recorded 47 sacks, second in the NFL. And those are the 3 best quarterbacks, right? Who all play for great teams?
Back to that average team, what would you say is the reason they have played bad? The quarterback? What quarterback could do well on an average team? So far, the only great quarterbacks in the playoffs this year are on great teams.
So I'll finally explain that the average team I showed is the Dallas Cowboys. While Tony Romo doesn't always play great, many are asking him to do things that not even the best quarterbacks in the NFL can overcome, which is an average team. I showed earlier how the great teams are ones that are great across the board. It's common sense really, the great teams are great teams. A quarterback can simply be the missing piece. Petyon Manning moving to Denver as an example. Their defense played great down the stretch last season, had a solid offensive line and some good, young receivers. Throw in Manning, and that offense becomes spectacular, and a great overall team.
Point #3
Before I fully make my point, I'll give you a quick psychology lesson. There is this thing called "conditional learning". You may recall Pavlov's dog, where this earned its fame. In conditional learning, you learn certain behaviors from a repetitive action. In Pavlov's experiment, he would ring a bell near his dog and give him some food. After doing this many times, Pavlov stopped giving his dog food, but would still ring the bell. Despite the absence of food, the dog's mouth would still salivate at the sound of the bell, in anticipation of the food.
To show how this applies, imagine that the sound of a bell is a Cowboy loss. The food is the reasons why they lost, and the salivation is the blame going to Romo. Years ago, many people gave different reasons, but it would eventually go back to Romo. Now, whenever the Cowboys loose, it's almost instinctive to blame Romo. Very little blame goes to the rest of the team, regardless of their own individual performances. Many fans and analysts show this thinking, saying it's all on Romo.
So, who's to say the other Cowboys players haven't adopted that mindset too? Is it possible that the players think, whether they realize it or not, that if they loose they will not be held accountable? No one in the media will blame them, so they don't worry about it. Many of the players show little to no effort on a good number of plays, and don't seem too worried when things don't go their way.
Now I"m no psychologist, but it is possible. It doesn't matter if it is Romo's fault or not, a team simply cannot think that, and there is a good chance they think so. The sad part is Romo is willing to take all of the blame. I'm not saying to let him get away with loosing, but whenever you loose, no one played good enough. It gets to a point where too much is being asked of one player, and not enough of the others. Until he is actually lining up on defense, Romo can not help them. He can give words of encouragement and kicks in the butt, but none of that matters until the other players do the necessary work themselves.
Yes, the Cowboys have gone 1-6 in their last 7 win-or-go-home games, that is well documented. But, did you know in those 6 losses, they've given up an average of 30 points? Before you say that a great quarterback would have been able to overcome those defensive meltdowns, you should also know that in games where the opposing team scored 30+ points, Drew Brees, Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, and Aaron Rodgers this year have a combined record of 2-16. One of those wins was against Buffalo, so take that however you want. If those guys can't overcome bad defensive play, who can?
(Sorry if all these statistics bore you, that's just how I back up my arguments)
I won't say what should happen to Romo, but I will say the success of a team is more dependent on each player focusing on their own job, and worry less about others. If I focus 100% on what I'm doing, I can play perfect. Once I worry more about the other players job, I am less focused on my job and am more likely to screw up. (I'm talking in a football sense, just to clarify).
A quarterback can have the biggest individual impact on a team, but he's far from the majority.

Need to wake up? Get some sleep!
Taking an afternoon power nap can do wonders on those days you're fighting to stay awake. Studies of shift workers and other volunteers have shown that a nap as brief as 20 minutes can improve alertness, psychomotor performance, and mood.
Take caution when dozing off, however. Sleep inertia, a grogginess and disorientation that can result from awakening from a deep sleep, can occur after a long nap. Napping too long might also keep you up at night.
To harness the power of a nap, Harvard Men's Health Watch suggests the following tips:
> Take your nap at a good time in your daily sleep-wake cycle; for most people, that means sometime between noon and 4 p.m.
> Don't oversleep; a 20- to 40-minute nap should be sufficient.
> Give yourself 10 to 15 minutes to wake up before resuming any demanding tasks.
Your patients need your undivided attention and focus, so do whatever you can to give it to them. Indulge in a quick catnap.

Match Preview
Brough back for Spiders play-off push Queen Park's have centre back Jamie Brough available for the visit of Annan as they look for the one point that will assure them of a place in the play-offs at the end of the season. Full back Darryl Meggat and winger Ian Watt are expected to be included in head coach Gardner Speirs' squad after returning to training on Thursday night, however Tony Quinn is a doubt with illness. Speirs said: "We seem to be taking our time in getting over the finishing line for a play-off spot but hopefully we can put that right against Annan. "It will not be easy to do so as they have a lot to play for as well and will come to our place with confidence after winning at Elgin last weekend." Annan have ruled out midfielder Ben McKenna and striker Graeme Bell for the vital clash at Hampden. The Galabank side will give fitness tests to John Macbeth, Steven Sloan and Sean O'Connor as they look for the win that will keep pressure on Elgin City, who hold fourth spot at the moment. Black and Gold boss Harry Cairney said: "Two wins in our last three games have brought our play-off hopes alive again. "We have done well on our last couple of visits to the national stadium so we can go there with confidence. "It would be great to get another win but we recognise that Queen's Park still need a point to be sure of their place so they will be going out for the win."

Xerox Docucolor 5000 Digital Press vs. HP Indigo 5500
I have an HP Indigo 5500 and a Xerox Docucolor 5000 digital press in my print shop. I print a specially treated uncoated sheet on my Indigo which I am very happy with. Can I use the same sheet on my Xerox Docucolor press? Will the Indigo sheet provide me with comparable print quality as I have experienced on my HP Indigo or should I use another sheet? I would prefer to buy one sheet that works on both presses, and not have worry about inventorying two different uncoated stocks.
The HP Indigo certified uncoated sheet will run fine on your Docucolor press, even though they are engineering specifically to optimize print quality and toner anchorage on HP Indigo equipment. There are comparable uncoated sheets engineered for high heat toner digital printers, not HP Indigo equipment which should print and perform as well. HP Indigo 5500 is made to make the most out of every shift with all its new productivity developments. The technology of the HP Indigo supports greater production swiftness making this substrate an edge to other production setting. Others who have more experience with the HP Indigo 5500 say that some items run on an Indigo with excellent results. It is the most dynamic, flexible, and first-class solution for the labels and packaging converter.
Xerox Docucolor, on the other hand, remains to set the standard for digital document printing and publishing. It is considered one of the industries optimum publishing systems accessible. The Docucolor will possibly give you a lesser cost per print for color for general printing including flyers, rack cards, posters, and short run publications. It was launched in 2006 and it took advantage of established technology from some other Xerox machines in order to turn out to be one of the most steadfast digital machines on the marketplace. Docucolor's flexibility was a key selling point, with its capability to handle tabs, labels and synthetics, as well as coated and uncoated paper stocks. Yes, it's true that in the year 2008, the substrate was updated and the new model became a standard and in fact, it reflected the increase in speed on heavier stocks the machine can handle.
But as you probably already know, both the HP Indigo 5500 and the Xerox Docucolor 5000 digital press are solid performers.
