Baby Spinach, Pea & Chorizo Salad
November 8, 2012 in Salads, Speedy Suppers, Vegetarian
This salad is quick quick and oh so pretty. I love the punchiness of the colours, and the smoky-spiciness of the chorizo with the burst of freshness from the greens gives it perfect balance. A little meal in itself, or serve over cous cous or even pasta, or inside warm crispy pitas. You could also add in some crumblings of feta, goats cheese or even ricotta.
Baby Spinach, Pea and Chorizo Salad
with Mustard Vinaigrette
Serves 2 | Preparation time 5 minutes | Cooking time 7 minutes
75g chorizo sausage, roughly sliced and quartered
1/2 red chilli, de-seeded and roughly chopped (optional)
50g baby spinach
1 cup frozen peas
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
For the Vinaigrette
1/2 tsp dijon mustard
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 Tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp lemon zest
1 tsp honey or ¼ tsp sugar
Pinch of salt
1 small clean jam jar
1. Heat a heavy-based pan on med-high heat and fry the chorizo, they will release their own oil so there is no need to add any extra. Cook until lightly golden, about 4 minutes, and then add in the chill and fry for another minute. Remove from the heat with a slotted spoon and set aside on a plate lined with kitchen paper.
2. Half-fill a medium-sized saucepan with hot water and bring to the boil. When boiling, add in the spinach leaves and peas and cook for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat, drain and immediately add the spinach and peas to a bowl of ice cold water to 'shock' them and stop the cooking process. This helps them to retain their bright greenness. Leave for about 3 minutes, then drain well. (If you have the inclination at this point, and you don't have a salad spinner, you can place the greens in a clean tea towel, pull the corners together, head outside and 'swing' the towel in circles to drain the excess water).
3. Mix together the vinaigrette ingredients by giving them a good shake in a clean jam jar (or whisk in a small bowl) and then toss together the sausage, spinach and peas. Season with salt and pepper, pour over the dressing and eat immediately.

At the start of a new year, there is a distinct feeling of both professional and personal optimism, coupled with renewed dedication to our pursuits. We also take time to reflect on what worked and what didn't in the past year, and refine strategies, priorities and goals. To say that Business.com had a pivotal 2014 would be an understatement; we completely rebuilt our business from the ground up with the goal of revolutionizing B2B Media.
Our planning led us to several key conclusions in 2014. First, while B2B marketing is a huge market with more than $50B spent annually, it is also highly fragmented. This fragmentation has created significant complexity for B2B marketers and existing business-focused digital media sites have struggled to strike the right balance of a strong and recurring value for readers while delivering high quality engagement at scale for their advertisers. We felt it was time to solve these issues for business decision makers and marketers alike. Read the full entry

The Sept. 15 deadline to secure a deposit for a proposed downtown ice rink is fast approaching. And although there is support in the community and at City Hall, at least one prominent business owner is hoping the funds don't come through.
J.P. Knaggs, owner of Bijou Café, 1287 First St., said a plan to put a skating rink in November and December on First Street between Selby Library and Selby Five Points Park would hamper business for him and others.
"I'm vehemently opposed to closing First Street at a time the opera is on," he said. "A thousand people descend on that place. It's like Times Square. If that street is closed, it'll be total chaos."
Knaggs said he and other business owners can't afford to turn away any customers, especially for two months during the height of tourist season.
"It's hard enough to make a living in this economy," he said. "Every penny counts."
The Sarasota Opera did not return phone calls seeking comment.
The idea behind the ice rink is to generate business for downtown. Two members of the Downtown Sarasota Alliance, developer John Simon and former Mayor Mary Anne Servian, are leading the effort to install an 85-foot-by-40-foot rink on First Street from a week before Thanksgiving to Jan. 3.
They believe it will be a big draw for families and tourists and will bring them downtown to play, shop and dine.
Servian said other cities that have similar ice rinks, such as Ocala and Orlando, draw a minimum of 30,000 people per season.
"Every single community we've talked to has restaurants with lines out the door," she said.
No admission would be charged for entrance into Sarasota's covered ice rink, but there would be a charge for skate rental.
Simon has been busy trying to secure enough money to place a deposit on the rink. The city has promised to provide a $25,000 loan and to waive more than $100,000 in permit fees. The Downtown Improvement District is considering offering a $15,000 loan. The county balked at funding.
With about $150,000 needed in a week, Simon is now busy pitching the idea to the private sector.
Knaggs said he likes the idea of a skating rink in Sarasota, just not at its proposed location.
"If it's just for kids to skate, the amphitheater at Payne Park is perfect," he said. "Or there are other empty lots around town. They're going to make me sound like a Scrooge, but I just can't see closing First Street."
Servian said she has spoken to Knaggs about his concerns and urged him to take advantage of the crowds by handing out coupons, for example.
"Everybody else is excited about this opportunity," she said.

- Well: the rink never got under way. Sad shame. Isn't there another place to put a rink like this?

- Hello,
I usually don't go out of my way to voice an opinion, However here I go for the first time...
I quite frankly think that having a rink in Downtown Sarasota is one of the best ideas I have heard about for Sarasota
since my grandparents (God rest their blessed and loved souls) moved here from Chicago over 45 years ago!
The rink in St. Augustine (same type) brings many people in to the town, as do every other rink n the country that is doing this.
While the kids skate the parents either skate or shop or eat and possibly drink a bit. Kids have their birthday and Holiday parties on this type of rink as well.
In my book that adds up to more business, am I wrong? I have managed a business on Maine Street and there is nothing in that area for kids, just the retired and adults approx. over 35. If this is something for the kids to do in the downtown area why wouldn't this be more business? The Mote Aquarium, Selby Gardens, and a few hours of outdoor ice skating in Florida... fun in the sun during the Holidays. How fun is that??
More people brings more business, not less.
Do you realize how many children skate in the North, East, West and Canada? Skaters skate even on vacation!
They would all love to try an outdoor skating Rink in the Florida sun, while visiting here, to them it is sunny and warm they will be out there in Shorts while some of us are at home freezing complaining about how cold it is outside waiting for this gastly summer heat again only to complain about how hot it is!
I have skated and coached for over 34 yeqrs at these types of rinks and the business is great. I think that Sarasotans (I am one for well over ten years now) would be happy for any added venue to make our resident children, active adult, and our Tourist Friends happy, especially in this economy!
For those of you complaining, I hope that you will have your first opportunity to try skating and if you haven't ice skated outdoors in the south before you will have the time of your life! I will be glad to help you learn.
Who knows.... after a few fun hours of skating, since you are right there, how about walking over to get a few plates of amazing food at the closest tapas restaurant, or pizza out on the corner, or a white table cloth meal by the opera house, or walk over to the Marina to look at "boats", or maybe since you are downtown already on the first weekend of the month you may just stay for evening fun on Maine Street instead of staying home, complaining about how cold it is, as well!
Think of the positive of this whole great new idea, lots of people on a closed street, well, as people walk by, they will have a better chance to look in the window of that fabulous place, a place that they may have never have even known about!
Oh and for myself? I didn't even know how to find that street for the longest time, six years to be exact, because it is a very convoluted area to drive around in.
Now people will discover just how great First street is instead of saying" Isn't that a bad section of town?" 'WHERE? Jee, I don't even know where that street is, haven't been to that street yet!" "First Street for what? No, I am going to take the kids to Siesta Key this weekend"
Yep, you betcha, that I think that this is even a better idea for Sarasota, better than First Friday, which by the way, I believe, is only once a month!
I just can't wait for the skating rink!!

- Isn't there enough room in Five Points Park itself for the rink? If not one this exact size, perhaps smaller?
Might get the homeless a little exercise, especially if the charities give them skate rental vouchers. Then they would not be sitting on the benches while skating.

- I believe while your intentions are good to give a notalgic ice skating rink to the five points downtown .....your reasons are misplaced . This is not a time for your intentions . We are all in economic struggle . This does not warrant any good .. other than fuff on our very current striff of making things practical rather than spending on unnessary funds . People of all profeessions are being layed off daily . This is the reality . You in return want to hinder with a play ground for kids to ice skate in downtown Sarasota which also will hinder theaters and restaraunts ...that will endure more striff for your idea of grander . Let me a nobody .. say clearly . Bad idea . First It serves no purpose . It will not bring downtown what you expect . It will hurt the theaters as well restaruants . Why .....? Because we are already hurting ..like everyone . If you make another choas of downtown in the months to come . Well ....I believe you are shooting us all in the foot . Including yourself for what your position is . Listen to what I'm saying ...you're making popcorn ....we need vegetables !

- Sorry Mr. Johnson but you're wrong. Yes it's a short street with little parking but the parking garage will not be completed by then and the valets will have to use 1st street to get the cars out of there and parked.
I am speaking from 25 years of experience. Every time there is some event that closes streets it hurts our business. I'm not making this up. Perhaps if I had a hot dog place or a saloon it would be different, but I have a fine dining, destination establishment that people don't just drop in for a bite!
- 6.
- I've been to the Bijou Cafe and I doubt Mr. Knaggs will benefit much by handing out coupons to the crowds, as the former mayor suggests. I would suggest however, based on the successful formula that Mr, Knaggs has developed for his restaurant, that if he says the rink will have a negative impact on his business, then it will!
What really astounds me is that the concept requires more than One Hundred Thousand Dollars in permitting fees, an incentive killer to growth and job creation if ever there was one...unless you are an insider and can get those fees waived. Oh, and can we borrow 25 Grand for our idea? But it's all for the common good, of course.

- One thing that articles like this typically fail to mention is the impact these ideas would have on the employees. Instead these types of authors always want to make it sound like it, in this case the closing of streets, is only detrimental to the proprietor. Mr. Knaggs has very loyal employee's and there is a reason for that. He is not speaking out against the closing of First Street only for himself and his family but also for his employees and theirs.
Downtown employees just dealt with first street being closed for the round-a-bout which KILLED downtown business. WE, the employees of downtown establishments, would HATE to see any more streets closed at any point especially at the very beginning of our season.
Frankly, I think the article was very antagonistic. Especially with Roy's ending. He/She has put, in a sense, Mr. Knaggs up against everyone who isn't willing to see his/our perspective by choosing to end the article with the quote from Mary Anne Servian. Not to pick on Servian but really the idea of handing out coupons might be a good idea, but NOT during season!!! A business should hand out coupons when they need to bring in business, not to give discounts to folks who are already coming in. Furthermore, if this skating rink in its proposed location its going to bring all kinds of money to the downtown, where folks will be "lining out the doors" of downtown establishments, then why especially then would anyone need to hand out coupons???
Just an aside to Mr. Johnson, I respectfully disagree with you. Right NOW is notoriously slow. We, service employees, CAN'T wait for November and December so we can start to see some business and start to make some money again. Furthermore, again just an aside, I couldn't find anywhere in the article that stated that Mr. Knaggs was concerned with "parking or vehicular congestion".
Here is one question that should be asked: What if this does happen and we don't see the expected return? Are we, citizens of Sarasota, ok with giving away $100,000.00 in permit fees to fund such a project. This is especially perplexing to me because a couple of weeks ago in the Herald Tribune they wrote an article on how The City of Sarasota is trying to remove the tax exemption status of Marina Jack (http://www.heraldtribune.com/article/20100824/ARTICLE/8241054) to add to the revenue of The City. Just to be clear, Marina Jack should pay taxes! However, why is it ok to possibly throw away $100,000.00 in revenue in one circumstance but not ok to continue throwing away the revenue from Marina Jack?
- 8.
- Mr. Knaggs is not seeing the whole picture. That block of first street is short and offers minimal parking...his restaurant's access in not being affected at all. In reality, The Bijou will be one of the main benefactors of this ice rink. How many more potential customers will discover his restaurants existence...? The 3 weeks leading up to Christmas are notoriously slow for all restaurants and especially for those located downtown... This event will help all businesses downtown... By the time the holidays pass the new parking garage is scheduled to be completed so this should elimate Mr. Knaggs concerns about traffic and vehicular congestion.
The Ice Rink is a Great Idea!

WESTERLY — The rip current that swept four adults and three children away from shore Tuesday is a common phenomenon, and at times a deadly one.
There were no lifeguards stationed at the East Beach, between the Watch Hill Light and the Ocean House Hotel, but lifeguards from an adjacent beach noticed the emergency and raced to the rescue. All of the swimmers were examined in Westerly Hospital.
Rip currents, also known as rip tides, can arise from a combination of factors, but there is a certain underlying simplicity.
"What comes in must go out," Bill Simpson, a meteorologist from the National Weather Service's office in Taunton, said Wednesday. "When you have breaking waves there is a certain volume of water that comes ashore, and it has to exit. The rip current is the outgoing flow of the previous incoming wave."
Rip currents, drawn back to sea by gravity, flow perpendicular to a shoreline, often along a narrow path dictated by the bottom contours. Anyone caught in a rip current is borne away from shore, sometimes at a fairly swift clip.
"It's actually like a river of water that's exiting," Simpson said. "People don't realize that waves coming in can have a pretty fast current. A rip current can run 3 knots. No one can swim that fast."
The Weather Service's Web page declares that rip currents kill more than 100 people each year — more than shark attacks or lightning. According to the United States Lifesaving Association, 80 percent of surf beach rescues come in response to rip currents.
Those drownings come about through exhaustion when a swimmer tries to head straight back to the beach. The key is to swim parallel to the beach.
"What you are supposed to do is swim to the side," said Tim Coen, manager of Second Beach in Newport, because tackling a rip current head-on is beyond the capacity of most. "You will start to feel the current letting up, and you'll have a much easier time," Coen said.
He said he knew of no fatalities in recent years in Rhode Island.
Bethany Gingerella, chief of the Westerly Ambulance Corps, said her organization is summoned an average of 20 to 25 times each summer to deal with rip current emergencies along Westerly's three miles of south-facing beaches. But there is an average of five calls annually to the area where the seven swimmers got in trouble on Tuesday. That beach, in other words, is a hot spot for rip currents.
Such trouble areas are usually caused by the shape of the bottom, which can funnel the exiting water and speed up its pace.
"The shoreline is always evolving," said Simpson, of the Weather Service, "particularly in the fall and winter months. It can change in summertime too."
This shapeshifting is due to the migration of sand, which is molded by currents and surf. Storm waves commonly erode beaches. The sand that washes away simply moves somewhere else, sometimes leaving what Coen, the Second Beach manager, calls "a hole."
"There are some areas off the beach where there might be holes in the sand," he said. "Rip tides take place there more than other places."
Heavy surf, kicked up by storms, can contribute to the birth of a rip current by dramatically increasing the volume of water that hits the shoreline, therefore creating added runoff.
"When you get heavy surf from any kind of storm it can be very strong," Coen said. "In the past it has pulled 8 to 10 people out, and we had to have surfboards and boats. If no one is there to help them, they're going to be in trouble, depending on their ability to swim."
Coen said his lifeguards are experienced and know where the danger spots lurk. He said they usually post a red flag to alert people to stay away from a certain area, and will keep an eye out for anyone who ventures into the danger zone.
Gingerella, of the Westerly Ambulance Corps, said that when rip currents get dangerous, the police set up small traffic carts on the routes to the beaches that warn swimmers of the danger.
The Weather Service offers an interactive online map at http://www.erh.noaa.gov/box/srfDisplay.php that provides a surf zone forecast. Placing the cursor on an individual beach displays detailed information. For Wednesday, the map showed south-facing beaches reckoned at a moderate risk of rip currents — from Misquamicut east to Horseneck Beach in Dartmouth, Mass., including Block Island, Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket. The east-facing beaches of Cape Cod and other Massachusetts beaches toward the north were put in a low-risk category.

NCA Doctoral Honors Seminars (DHS) bring together promising doctoral students and distinguished faculty members from across the discipline and around the nation to discuss current topics in communication. The seminars are held annually at a selected host institution. Approximately 30 doctoral students are chosen to participate based on submitted papers and recommendations from their advisors.Contact Trevor Parry-Giles with questions about the NCA DHS.

2014 NCA Doctoral Honors Seminar
The 2014 NCA Doctoral Honors Seminar was held July 17-20, 2014, in College Park, Maryland. The Department of Communication and the College of Arts & Humanities at the University of Maryland were the hosts for the 2014 DHS. The theme for the 2014 DHS was "Research in Action, Research that Matters." In selecting this theme, the host department was mindful of the imperatives in contemporary graduate education that encourage doctoral student contemplation of the social engagement potentialities of their research. Communication is a discipline committed to social and civic engagement by its very nature and the 2014 DHS theme brings that commitment forward as a focus for the seminar meetings. Around that theme, students were placed into one of three groups reflective of the conventional divisions of Communication and in use in prior DHSs--Rhetoric, Mass Communication, and Communication as a Social Science.Faculty Seminar Leaders for the 2014 DHS included:

Apparently, the DNR recently conducted a survey on Jacob Family property lines just prior to elections. Not a single letter from the DNR, State of Minnesota or Winona County has been sent to me or my family about a potential property line concern. People writing letters to the editor appear to have access to information about Jacob property lines that I have not yet been made aware of. They are concerned with a new hypothetical GPS-generated property line near my house. When we built our house in 2002 the Winona County Planning Department did a site visit to check the staked out location of the proposed house. The Winona County Planning Department used the historical DNR line signs and Jacob family fence lines, that are still in place today, to approve the house site location with proper setbacks. In 2002, the Winona County Planning Department, the DNR, and the Jacob family all approved the historical lines as being the correct lines. I believe the historically monumented lines are the correct lines and my house is in full compliance. I will review the new hypothetical GPS-generated lines if and when that information is brought before me. Coincidentally, I contacted the Winona County Recorder and asked if there are any other similar problems within the county that have arisen since the new hypothetical GPS system is being used. He responded that he believes there are more than 5,000 potential property line issues. He also stated that more problems tend to occur in rugged bluff areas like the area where my family lives. I encourage people to look at the real issues in this campaign rather than at distractions from them.

OVERLAND PARK, Kan.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Ivy High Income Opportunities Fund (IVH) today announced a monthly distribution of $0.125 per common share. The distribution schedule is as follows:
Ex-Date |
Record Date |
Payable Date |
Amount |
Feb. 11, 2014 | Feb. 13, 2014 | Feb. 28, 2014 | $0.125 per share | |||||||||
The distribution is expected to be paid from net investment income (regular interest and dividends). The final tax status of the distribution may differ substantially from this preliminary information, which is based on estimates, and the final determination of such amount will be made in early 2015 when the Fund can determine its earnings and profits for the 2014 fiscal year.
Ivy High Income Opportunities Fund's investment objective is to seek to provide total return through a combination of a high level of current income and capital appreciation. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing primarily in a portfolio of high yield corporate bonds of varying maturities and other fixed income instruments of predominantly corporate issuers, including first- and second-lien secured loans. There can be no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective.
The price of the Fund's shares will fluctuate with market conditions and other factors. Closed-end funds frequently trade at a discount from their net asset values (NAVs), which may increase an investor's risk of loss. At the time of sale, shares may have a market price that is below NAV, and may be worth less than the original investment.
Investing in below investment grade securities may carry a greater risk of nonpayment of interest or principal than higher-rated bonds. Loans (including loan assignments, loan participations and other loan instruments) carry other risks, including the risk of insolvency of the lending bank or other intermediary. Loans may be unsecured or not fully collateralized may be subject to restrictions on resale and sometimes trade infrequently on the secondary market.
An investment in the Fund is not appropriate for all investors and is not intended to be a complete investment program. The Fund is designed as a long-term investment and not as a trading vehicle.
Past performance is not a guarantee of future results and future distributions may be different. This or future distributions may also be paid from net realized gains from portfolio investments, unrealized gains, or in certain cases, a return of principal (non-taxable distributions).
Ivy Investment Management Company (IICO) serves as the Fund's investment adviser. IICO is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Waddell & Reed Financial, Inc.

Size down
I'm normally size 28 in bebe jeans; I ordered this in white size 27 and they were too loose...these have a lot of stretch! I would have ordered this in a 26 but none were available. Great jeans, comfortable and look good, but make sure you size down 2 sizes!
May 12, 2013
Great Product
I love these jeans and I hope to see more colors. I bought the green in a 27 and it fits beautifully. The material is so soft and comfortable. Exactly what I need for those long work days. I received lots of compliments.
May 2, 2013
runs large
I ordered these online, and when I got them they were so big I had to take them back to the store. They had the smaller size, but I could have gone down another, which they didn't have. They are a lovely soft material and feel great, but they just don't fit me quite right. The rise is higher than I like, and the green color is a little too bright. They are super comfortable though!
April 25, 2013
Runs large
I ordered these jeans in green, my regular size 27 (in True Religion), but these babies turned out to be large. I would love to exchange it for 26, but the size is no longer available :( I love the color & the style..Sadly have to return these. I wish bottom sizing was more consistent.
April 24, 2013

I also went to the store and tried this cargo pants on. It's very form fitting and luv it. I tried on both 29 and 30 in white. Again I'm 5'2" 135 lbs. I decided to purchase 29 in white.

Google may want to lower the bar from "don't be evil" to "don't be thoughtless" after it dispatched Street View cars to a Staten Island neighborhood devastated by Superstorm Sandy.
The New York Post reports that it witnessed a Street View car, used to collect Street View images to overlay on top of Google Maps data, driving through the New Dorp Beach neighborhood in Staten Island. Many of the homes there were destroyed by Sandy in October, and residents are working to rebuild them.
Many neighborhood residents were angered by Google's decision to dispatch the car. "They are putting us wiped out on the map!" one told the Post. Another wondered if the images would affect the value of their properties.
A Google spokesperson explained to the Post that the updated imagery will help the world understand the extent of the damage, which is probably of little comfort to the actual homeowners affected by the storm.
"The Street View team is currently redriving affected areas of New York City," a Google spokesperson told the Post. "We hope this accurate, updated imagery that will soon be available in Google Maps will help people around the world better understand the extent of the damage and the importance of coming together as a community to aid in the recovery efforts."

Henderson County, TX (KETK) — An East Texan, accused of beating his wife to death in 2011, is back behind bars.
Kelly Gage was booked in the the Henderson County Jail Thursday on charges of assault and family violence.
Gage was accused of beating his wife to death in a drunken rage on Thanksgiving Day in 2011. He was released after prosecutors couldn't find enough evidence to convict him.
Henderson County staffers KETK spoke with could not confirm if this arrest is connected to to the 2011 incident. They did, however, say Gage is set to be transferred to Smith County Jail in the coming days.

Sea Cruise - Herman's Hermits
If you just cut and paste the title and artist into a google search, you usually get a youtube link among the first replies.
I actually saw Herman's Hermits play a concert in Annapolis about a year or two back at Ram's Head. It was hilarious!! Was pretty convinced I wasn't going to like it, but we had a great time. After that, I'm certain these guys are referring to a Sea Cruise on a sailboat!
p.s. Peter Noone is in his mid-60s now and hasn't lost a note!!
I hate to play the "Otis" card again, but the only version of Sea Cruise to play is Freddy Cannon's original, and if you give it a listen you'll hear a pretty un-sailboat- like horn blowing during the "ooooh whee"s.

Contrary to expectation, Monday mornings aren't for hard-hitting news stories or even summaries of the hard-hitting news stories that hit the internet (hard) over the weekend. They're for whimsical fan videos which mix elements from brilliant role-playing games. In this case, The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim and Bastion.
Skyrim contributes a world, characters and mechanics, while Bastion contributes a narrator. Sounds a bit disproportionate? You clearly haven't met Bastion's narrator. He's what the Lone Ranger would sound like if the Lone Ranger had a PhD in existential wisecracks. Classy.
Don't worry, we'll get to the news bit shortly. For more on Bastion, and why the hell you should buy it, assuming you've yet to buy it - read our review.
Thanks, Kotaku.

John McCain's choice for Vice President, Alaska's first-term Governor, Sarah Palin, was daring, audacious, novel, disturbing to some Democrats, and – most likely – very, very lame. As August unfolds into September and October, the national spotlight will now inspect Alaska politics more closely than ever. The upcoming corruption trial of Sen. Ted Stevens is already due to bring more scrutiny toward our politics, but the little-known "Branchflower Investigation" into Palin's firing of her top cop, will now also become a national story.

TedFest! – Arraignment Edition – Awards in the Hands of Ted's Staff |
By: Philip Munger Wednesday July 30, 2008 6:00 pm |
firedoglake had hoped to wrap up the TedFest! poetry contest here today because it is the first anniversary of the FBI raid on his Girdwood chalet. The raid was the first in the history of the United States upon the home state dwelling of a sitting member of the U.S. Senate.
But serendipity mucked up our plans. I don't think "anybody could have predicted" that between the beginning of TedFest! and its wrap-up, Ted would be busted. To answer once and for all the question I've dealt with dozens of times since yesterday morning – no – I didn't know in advance. And I'm not sure Ted did.

I am brand new at gardening and have just moved to Alabama. Can anyone help me with what flowers, flowering bushes ect grow best in this area. The woman who lived here before left behind some flowers but I cannot figure out what is a flower/plant and what are weeds so we are ripping everything out and I would love to start again. There is tons of sun, little shade and almost no rain. Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated. |

Post some pics and alot of people in this forum will be able to help you. You can tell alot of a plant by just the leaves. Jill |
What you can grow is going to depend on where you live in the state. As Jill said, it would help if you could post pictures, or at the very least try to give some description of what is there. If you can contact the woman who lived there, she'd likely be happy to tell you what you are working with. Or maybe a neighbor might know. I'd definitely try to find out. Putting in stuff can get real expensive. And starting from scratch this time of year can be iffy. You are going to have to do LOTS of watering to get stuff up and growing now. Do let us know where you live so we can make some good recommendations of reliable stuff to grow. We want your first gardening experience to be a happy and successful one! |
Check with your County Agent and see when the next Master Gardener session starts. This is an excellent way to get an all-around knowledge of gardening that suits your area. Linda |
It's almost always a mistake to rip out things until you know for sure what they are. Plants can be identified right here if you can manage to post some images for us. |

I'm presently shopping for a direct vent gas fireplace and am finding it difficult to select one. Most of the reviews I am finding are 5+ years old. I've seen the Mendota Full View and DXV, Valor Ventana, White Mountain Hearth Tahoe Premium or Luxury, Lopi Hearthview 864, Heat n'Glo 6000 and slim line. Any recommendations, guidance, comments on repairs would be appreciated. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I am having the same experience. It seems that whichever dealer I go to, their products are the best! When I check reviews, I am no further ahead because they are so outdated. I have heard very good things about the Valor and Mendota. Have also heard good things about Kozy Heat, and marquis Capella. I feel your frustration! Anyone have any experience with any of these? |

Reading Guide
Help, Thanks, Wow
Anne Lamott
Readers of all ages have followed and cherished Anne Lamott's funny and perceptive writing about her own faith through decades of trial and error. And in her new book, Help, Thanks, Wow, she has coalesced everything she knows about prayer to these fundamentals.
It is these three prayers – asking for assistance from a higher power, appreciating what we have that is good, and feeling awe at the world around us – that can get us through the day and can show us the way forward. In Help, Thanks, Wow, Lamott recounts how she came to these insights, explains what they mean to her and how they have helped, and explores how others have embraced these same ideas.
Insightful and honest as only Anne Lamott can be, Help, Thanks, Wow is the everyday faith book that new Lamott readers will love and longtime Lamott fans will treasure.
Anne Lamott is the author of the New York Times bestsellers Help, Thanks, Wow, Some Assembly Required, Grace (Eventually), Plan B, and several others. A past recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship and an inductee to the California Hall of Fame, she lives in Northern California.
- In the prelude, Anne Lamott writes about the individual ways in which people pray: "Prayer means that, in some unique way, we believe we're invited into a relationship with someone who hears us when we speak in silence" (p.4). What has been your unique relationship to prayer? Has it changed over time? Do you pray differently after you finished this book?
- Lamott talks about The Serenity Prayer-"a Greatest Hits prayer," she calls it-in the section on Help. Do you have a prayer, or a saying or mantra, which you turn to when times get tough? Or have you made your own, like Lamott has?
- In the section on Thanks, Lamott shares an inspiring story about her friend Barbara who suffers from Lou Gehrig's disease and can no longer speak, but is still grateful for the beauty she finds in the world (p.56). Who in your life has encouraged you to feel gratitude? When have you felt most grateful?
- Lamott says that spring is her main Wow. When was the last time you experienced an uppercase Wow? What or who inspired it?
- "New is life," (p. 87) Lamott writes of change and how we should embrace it, despite how scary and confusing it can be. How have you dealt with change in your life? What do you do when you need to get out of your comfort zone? How do you think you embrace change?
- At the end of the book Lamott writes, "More than anything, prayer helps me get my sense of humor back" (p.100). How has Lamott used humor throughout this book to talk about prayer? What role does humor play in faith?

What do people do about ventilation in a walk in clothes closet? Is it common to install vents or fans in them?
I'm also thinking I might install a skylight to get natural light as I might actually get dressed in there. Should I install a skylight that opens? |
Follow-Up Postings:
What is the HVAC system and climate? How large is the closet? Direct sunlight is not a good idea in a closet and you would never open it. |
We are in Los Angeles, about a mile from the ocean. Before our remodel, one of the problems was dampness in the house mostly because of poor ventilation and the damp air of our location. With improved airflow in the house and insulation (no insulation in the original house and a damp crawlspace underneath) this should be less of a problem. Still, I notice the air in the closet of our temporary home seems stale and with shoes and all, sometimes has off smells. I think some natural light would be nice, hence the skylight. For ventilation would I install a fan like in a bathroom or just a vent of some sort? |
size, HVAC? |
No air conditioning. Don't need it here. Closet is about 8' X 8' There are lots of windows and doors to the outside in all the rooms of the house |
Ventilation: yes. Skylight, no. You don't want your clothes to fade. |
Suero, what kind of vent would you suggest? If I put in a skylight, I would have it frosted. Do you think that's still a problem with fading? Boy, when I do a google search on closet ventilation guess what I come up with? Tons of people and their "grow closets". It's whole nuther world out there. |
- Posted by energy_rater_la (My Page) on Sun, Jul 18, 10 at 10:06
I'm curious to see what ventilation strategy for a home with no a/c, Sorry I can't be of help, we put a supply grill for a/c in closets & baths here. as far as the skylight goes there are good ones out the negative is that you are cutting a hole in your for less cost/worry than the skylight you could install although I'm not a fan of recessed lights..if you look best of luck. |
I lived in the Bay Area for a while so I understand not using hvac for most of the year. How about a exhaust fan with a light? That way you'll get some air exchange every time you go in there. I understand some fans like the panasonics are so quiet you can hardly hear them operating. |
energy rater la, it never occurred to me to get AC in my home. We are installing plenty of windows, positioned to take advantage of air currents. I can't stand being in a building with all the windows closed in the summer. I'm sure there are parts of the country where that's really uncomfortable, but it's not an issue for us here. I do notice that all the new builds in my neighborhood get AC installed. Why, I don't know. Seems like such a waste of energy. We are putting recessed lights in the closets. I'm not sure what kind they are but the ceilings are vaulted so there's no attic. cheifneil, I'll look into exhaust fans and see what I find. I'm just surprised that venting a closet doesn't seem to be a standard practice. Is it because most houses have AC? |
Yikes! Just googled current weather. It's hotter and muggier here in TO (Toronto) than sunny LA. And we do tend to get a bit more snow. No skylights in a closet. It justs fades your clothes and builds up heat. I always have HVAC vents in walk-in closets. Running the fan year round circulates air at a minimal cost. |
Maybe an exhaust fan? Our master closets have HVAC supplies. Clothes hanging in the closets get *dusty*. The rest of the house does not. The blowers have have Aprilaire 5" thick air filtration systems and flow-through humidifiers. Are there filters I could place directly on the closet supplies? Cheesecloth DIY? These are floor supply vents. No returns in the closets. |
We have a fixed obscure transom. We have enough light, but not too much to fade clothes. You could have an operable one for ventilation if your closet has an exterior wall? |
- Posted by david_cary (My Page) on Mon, Jul 19, 10 at 15:25
Well if most houses have a/c in your area, then there is the answer. Install a/c. A/C is not really that much of a waste when you don't need a lot of it. I personally think for humidity control, it might not be a bad thing. I'm trying to remember the weather and air quality. I lived in the Marina for awhile and it seemed pretty humid sometimes. Inland of course, a/c is a must. Why not a window in the closet? A small one with good coverage so that it won't get sun. Seems like the cheapest option. The reason you are having a time with this of course is that most people have a/c. Since you are trying to avoid that, a window or exhaust fan are your reasonable options. A skylight (even low e) is a bad idea. |

Posted by Huw,GoldJono emailed to say "Just spotted Geoffrey giraffe at TRU in the UK when you spend £15 on Lego:
It looks as if he'll be available until September.
9 comments on this article
Nice good time to buy lone ranger set's.
Do you think we'll get it in the US soon?
Awesome, better get to TRU soon then :-)
They were also available to buy for £4.99 in my local toyrus.
US collector here if anyone in the UK can get me one; hopeful for US stores soon.
I`ve got confirmation from TrU here in Norway that this polybag will not be available in Norway or elsewhere in Skandiavia due to regulations in the franchise-agreement. Too bad.
My local Toys r us in Bristol was sold out. Hope they get more in. Seen one on ebay
I picked one of these up for £4.99 at the Luton TRUS, great little poly.
Loads available in Bristol TRU now, picked one up yesterday.

on May 18, 2012How and with what your brush your teeth on a twice- or three-times daily basis is your call. But, as summer is coming along swiftly, we've been thinking about the seasonal, off-label uses for toothpaste yes, this is happening, throughout all America, because we say so that make those throwback, old-fashioned versions of the stuff a pretty great buy. Avoid any gels, as they won't work for these purposes, and opt instead for something paste-y (white!). The ingredients should include baking soda and silica, which gives the product a grainy, abrasive quality you probably know well. Then, aside from making your teeth shine, here's what you can use it for:
To get rid of light scuffs on your dress shoes: Use a tiny bit, rub in with a cloth, then clean it off with a dry part of said cloth.
Same goes for white tennis shoes. Dampen the sneaker, then apply your paste to the grimiest parts and scrub with a rag.
You can clean your bathroom sink, too, in the case of unexpected guests. Wet sponge + a little dentifrice + porcelain = no more stains.
If you're grilling, a small amount diluted with water will rid your hands of fish, onion, garlic, and other stubborn smells quicker than regular hand soap.
If you're swimming, close your eyes...
Yet, if you insist on wearing swim goggles, a smidge rubbed on the inside of your eyewear will stop them from fogging.
That last one also works on your bathroom mirror. Not too much, though.
A very light amount can also be used to smooth over old scratches on your DVD collection.
Then, at night, a dab placed on a pimple can help calm its redness. Though, if your tube has fluoride, that will just make it worse.

The Judgment of America
by The Honorable Elijah Muhammad
If there is anything like a God of Righteousness—if there is anything like a God of Truth—should not He raise himself up and take His place and put an end to such evil as is now going on in America?
People cannot walk the streets of America today without subjecting themselves to robbery, murder or rape. America is a wicked land...everyone is against the other.
Righteousness, justice and freedom are despised and fought against regardless to the clear knowledge of God's hourly punishment and destruction of America by His divine plague of storms. But this is as it is written of America in the Book of Revelations, in the Bible... they continue their evil way and did blaspheme the God Who has power over the plagues.
They hated the name of Allah, the Great Mahdi...they hated the name of His Messenger ... but nevertheless that does not stop the judgment and the destruction of America. ...
The white man has had his way of ruling the Black people for so long that he thinks that he still has the power to do so, while in reality the white man has come to the end of his time of power to rule the Black people.
Regardless to Allah's (God's) Retaliation to the white man for his evil acts done to the Black man, the white man still keeps inviting the retaliation of Allah (God). The white man must remember that he cannot win today over Allah (God) and His Servant, for He has power over the fraction of an atom.
The judgment of America. Judgment has come to you America. Woe to you who seek to fight against Allah (God) and against His aim and purpose. Woe to you America. Allah (God) has made you blind to His judgment and therefore you are committing suicide. He made you blind to His Judgment and therefore you are committing suicide .He has made you blind on purpose ... to give you the full dose of His wrath, for when a man does not know the danger of fire, then he can fall headlong into it.
America has mistreated the Black man for four hundred years and she does not think that there is ever a God Who will accept her Black slave and return on her head the injustice done to her Black slave.
This is the day and time in which America could benefit from what Allah (God) has revealed to me and from the work that I am doing among my Black people...turning them from doing evil into righteousness. As it is written in the Bible, "Babylon could have been healed;" and there was a possible chance for her healing, if she had not gone to the extreme by making fun of the God of the Jews and their temple in Jerusalem and belittling the power of the God of the Jews, to retaliate.
The Bible prophesies of the plagues that would come upon America—and these plagues are falling on America now, and yet she will not repent. For America continues to kill and deprive the Black once slave of righteousness and justice. Even though the Black slave wants to go from America, she wants to hold on to him and America does not want to let her Black once-slave go. America holds the Black once-slave for a prey.
Woe to America. Her day has arrived. She would not heed the warning. I begged her to let us be separated from her on a little territory and a state to ourselves and to let us be responsible for our own survival, only to get out from under her injustice; but she refused. So it was with Pharaoh in the time of Moses. God went down to Egypt to make Israel and her enemies, the Egyptians, an example for a future people so that this may serve as a sign of what we see going on in America today.
The four (4) Great Judgments that Allah (God) promises to destroy America with are now coming upon her...hail, snow, drought, earthquake. Allah (God) has reserved His treasures of snow and ice to be used against the wicked country America in the day of battle and war. These are some of Allah's (God's) weapons, the storms that we see going on.
The white man of America is not blind and ignorant. He has known these prophesies of his doom for a long time before we knew it, for the white man translated the Bible and he knows what he put in his translation of that which was written in the Bible.
The judgment of America. "Babylon could have been healed but she was not healed."
America is just beginning to experience sorrow, mourning, grief and distrust from the anger of God and man.
According to both the Holy Qur'an and the Bible, there will be plenty more of the same. In these two books, one can easily find everything foretold that is happening today. The time will grow so troublesome that (according to the Holy Qur'an) children will become gray headed, and (according to the Bible) great heart failure will become a disease upon the people, who have the anger of God (the American people).
This America ladens the poor with heavy sentences—long prison terms—and refuses to let the prisoners go free. This is due to her heartlessness and lack of compassion for the Black man of America.
Woe to America, the murderer and deceiver of the people. The God of Justice and Truth has pronounced a judgment against thee—and by no means will you escape. You have made mockery of Him, God, and His people and His word, the truth.
You have been judged and found wanting to the so-called American Negroes, the lost and now found members of the aboriginal Black nation of the earth.
Come, unite with Allah, and me. Go to your own. You won't have to go anywhere if you only will unite with your own. Heaven awaits you wherever you may be.

For decades, investors have looked to mutual funds as a primary vehicle that can help them achieve their financial goals, such as retirement and college funding. However, mutual funds allow investors relatively little freedom in the management of their money within a given fund. Those who like a certain money manager's style in most respects, may wish that his or her funds were managed with a greater eye on tax efficiency, or in some other manner.
TUTORIAL: Hedge Funds
Investors who purchase shares of a traditional open or closed-end fund have to take the bad with the good, in most cases, but a unique type of investment service has arisen that allows investors to mimic the trades of a specific manager, while making any changes that they like. Mirrored investment platforms are the newest entrant into the managed money arena. (For more on managers, check out Should You Follow Your Fund Manager?)
What Are Mirrored Services?
Mirrored investment services provide investors with the means of shadowing a given money manager before investing in the manager's fund. The companies that currently provide this type of service allow visitors to view the daily trades placed by dozens of different money managers. Those who wish to find out more about a specific money manager can receive real-time streaming quotes and other data, as well. Those who decide to invest with a given manager, after following his or her trades, can join the service and have the exact same trades placed inside their own brokerage accounts, in an identically proportionate manner. For example, if the manager places 2% of the fund's assets in a particular security, then the service will place the same percentage of the client's assets in that security.
Mirrored services differ from separately managed accounts in that those who use the former type of service are actually purchasing shares of a fund, instead of owning the actual securities directly. The minimum amount required to use a mirrored service is also usually much lower than for self-managed accounts.
Advantages of Mirroring Services
Investors who use mirroring services have a great deal more control over the trades that are placed inside their accounts than conventional fund investors. Mirroring services provide a level of instantaneous transparency that is not available with traditional funds. Investors can watch how their managers react to the markets in real time, instead of having to wait weeks, or even months, for a periodic report of fund holdings.
Perhaps more importantly, investors who use this service still have control over their accounts. They have the freedom to get rid of any holding in their portfolio if they choose to and they can even create a list of stocks, bonds or other securities that they do not wish to ever hold in their portfolios, such as those of companies that are not socially responsible.
Investors can also limit the trades placed by the manager according to other criteria, such as risk tolerance or investment philosophy. Investors can in fact compare themselves to their managers by trying alternative investment strategies that are based upon the manager's trades, but modified by the investor. If an investor thinks that his or her manager usually sells holdings too soon, then the investor can elect to keep each holding longer.
Most mirroring services also typically offer a wide range of managers with differing objectives and philosophies, ranging from conservative to aggressive, and varying with the type of securities that are held. Some managers may use derivatives extensively, while others stick to index ETFs. Furthermore, mirroring services are not required to limit the managers that they choose to Registered Investment Advisors or traditional portfolio managers; they are allowed to offer unregistered amateur managers that meet their criteria, as well. Of course, most services perform a thorough background check on the managers that they use and verify the manager's historical trading performance. (To help you keep your current account secure, read 9 Tips For Safeguarding Your Accounts.)
Limitations of Mirroring Services
Although mirroring services provide many benefits for investors, this type of service is still a small and growing field. The first mirroring service was introduced in 2009 and several more have sprung up since then. However, they have yet to make an impression on the consciousness of the general public; their limelight will likely have to wait until their managers can post historical track records of some duration.
The fees charged by most mirroring services are also relatively high, compared to mutual funds or other more traditional managed investment alternatives. Most investors will typically pay a mirroring provider anywhere from 0.5% to over 2% per year, in order to have the trades of a manager mimicked in their account, compared to an average of 1 to 1.5% charged by most funds, not counting any front- or back-end sales charges. Most of these services also require investors to open an account with a specific online brokerage service, with which they have an agreement.
Mirroring investment arrangements can make it possible for a portfolio manager to reap illegal profits from his or her money management, however. If the manager buys a holding in a personal account, before making the same purchase in the fund, then the price of that security could rise from the buying pressure created when that trade is mirrored in the accounts of all of the fund's investors. However, most of the major mirroring services monitor this sort of activity closely and place certain types of limits on trading activity, so as to discourage these practices.
The Bottom Line
Mirroring services are one of the newest concepts in the world of professionally managed investment accounts. They offer many benefits to advisors, but usually charge higher fees than traditional mutual funds, and may not catch on with mainstream investors until they can prove that their managers can outperform traditional funds, or benchmark indexes. For more information on mirroring strategies, consult your broker or financial advisor. (To help choose a financial advisor that matches you, see 7 Financial Advisor Red Flags.)

CR-95C Copper IcePipe 95W Fanless CPU Cooler 157 in stock | £74.70 | ||
CR-80EH Copper IcePipe 80W Fanless CPU Cooler 255 in stock | £34.38 | ||
Nofan IcePipe Fanless CPU Coolers
This next-generation fanless CPU cooler uses IcePipe technology - no fans, no dust, no noise. It is capable of silently cooling almost any modern processor with a TDP (thermal design power) output of up to 80 watts (CR-80EH) or 95 watts (CR-95C).
Fanless cooling - at last!
Probably the biggest technical advancement of the last decade in the field of PC cooling has been the invention of the thermal heatpipe. This has allowed a much greater efficiency of heatsink to be designed since heatpipes are good at moving heat from one location to another, both quickly and silently.
However, the performance of heatpipes has been limited by their internal design, which relies on cyclic evaporation and condensation of the water inside them. That is until now! The next generation heatpipe has arrived - it's smaller, lighter, wickless and offers a massive improvement in performance. Its design is patented by Nofan Corporation of South Korea, and it's called the IcePipe.
The holy grail of quiet computing is excellent cooling without resorting to the use of a fan. Rather than using forced airflow along with its associated problems (noise, dust-build up, bearing wear and limited lifespan), convection cooling is undoubtedly the technology of the future and because of the IcePipe, this is now a realistic possibility.
The exact details of how the IcePipe works are a trade secret, but in essence it operates by liquid capillary action. By making the pipe very small, natural perpetual circulation of the liquid inside takes place and heat is efficiently dissipated into the attached heatsink fins. Of course, like conventional heatpipes, the IcePipes are permanently sealed in the factory so that no liquid can ever escape.
160 point contact on 4 heatpipes maximises heat transfer
Product differences
The CR-95C is Nofan's flagship CPU cooler and replaces the CR-100A which was a slightly larger first-generation version. Because the CR-95C is physically a little smaller, it has much improved compatibility because of reduced interference with other motherboard components. It is certainly a thing of great beauty and if you happen to have a side-window in your PC, a definite talking point!
The primary consideration with the CR-95C (like all CPU coolers) is its ability to cool hot-running processors. The heat generated by a CPU is defined by its TDP (thermal design power) and is measured in watts. Newer processors tend to run cooler than previous generation models, although there will always be a trade-off between speed and heat. The CR-95C can continuously and silently cool any processor with a TDP specification of 95 watts and under, which includes the majority of processors on the market today - even high performance ones.
More recently, Nofan launched another version of the IcePipe: the CR-80EH. This is a smaller, cheaper version but is still capable of cooling processors with a TDP figure of up to 80 watts. Motherboard compatibility is enhanced and because of its smaller radius, the likelihood of adjacent PCI slot obstruction is reduced.
Compatibility Considerations
Due to the size of the cooler special consideration must be taken into account when choosing a motherboard. While it will physically fit on all compatible boards, the location of the CPU socket may prevent the motherboard (with the cooler installed) from fitting in a suitable case. This can happen if the CPU socket is too close to the edge of the motherboard.
Ideally, with the motherboard already seated in the case, measurements need to be taken to ensure that there is no obstruction within a 92mm radius of the centre of the CPU socket. You can find a large list of all the known compatible motherboards here.
Important note for installation of CR-95C and CR-80EH
Do not over-tighten or unevenly tighten the four CPU cooler retention screws!
The performance of the CR-95C is maximised when it's oriented so that in a tower system, the Nofan logo is horizontal and not upside-down. In contrast, the orientation of the CR-80EH is unimportant.

Customer Reviews
Even better than I imagined
My CPU idles around the 35 degrees in a fully passive enviroment (albeit no dedicated GPU). Mounting was rather difficult, but this is a solid product.
Cool and Quiet
I use an i7 Haswell processor for running protools audio software and Reason (often at the same time). In use for recording, mixing down and synthesising using multiple software instruments and many tracks I haven't seen the temperature get above 54C. Stress testing using Prime95 at its most extreme setting it varied between 77 - 82 C. Stopping the stress test saw an almost immediate fall to 60 and after a few minutes back to idle at about 40 C.
What can I say really? A real step forward especially if you are running recording software...
Does the job
Does the job, keeps Intel i7-4770K CPU temperature below 95 C. This may seem too steep, but what's really important it prevents temperature hitting the Tj_max, at 100% all 4-core load. Air vents on the top side of the computer case are a must!
Silent - but make sure you meet the pre-requisites
Easy to install, but make sure your RAM doesn't exceed maximum height and that you have a case with vents in the top as required. Also note this will occlude the first PCI express slot on certain motherboards - especially mATX and fully loaded ATX motherboards with lots of slots. I was amazed at the sis of this thing and how much heat it puts out. On my core i7-3770 a 77w regular clocked processor the CPU temps come in at around 93c under load when using system stability tester - the Tj max temp for this proc is 105 - this seems to be a bit close. I forgot to see temp on stock fan so cannot compare sorry.
Passive performer
I coupled this with an Intel Core i5-4690T (i.e. low TDP CPU). The only reason I didn't give it 5* is that I assembled it first as it came. Afterwards, I discovered by a circuitous browsing route that it should have been installed in a particular orientation - there's a nifty animation for its big brother cooler now on the QPC website, and they put me right about that. It would have been easier if the instructions mentioned the orientation to start with (the thing is square, so it's easy to get it wrong); am I being unfair?
The PC is completely fanless, and it's surprising quite how noisy a HDD (WD Caviar Blue) now seems... But the main thing is that the PC runs cool even when doing relatively computing-intensive things. So, as long as you have a low thermal rating CPU, this thing works fine. It's quite pretty through the case vents too, if that's your thing.
Hi Stephen - thanks for your detailed review, much appreciated! It's great to hear you are enjoying your new IcePipe cooler. Sorry to hear about the installation confusion. Actually, unlike the CR-95C, the orientation of the CR-80EH isn't important. We have added this information to the website to help other customers.

Music Training And Brain Anatomy
Mind-Body-Spirit News:
Better Speech Comprehension
If you have been fortunate enough to enjoy music training in your youth, you may be experiencing the benefits today in improved hearing.
Researchers have found that 4–14 years of music training during childhood or young adulthood is associated with faster neural timing in response to speech later in life. This is significant because older adults commonly lose the ability to discern rapidly changing sounds— and as a result they may no longer comprehend what is happening around them. New evidence shows that this age-related decline is not inevitable and that benefits from music training earlier in life can persist into older age, even if one is no longer practicing music.
The study is available in The Journal of Neuroscience (2013; 33 [45], 17667–64).
Stronger Language Skills and Executive Function
Adding to our understanding of the significance of early musical training, researchers have found that the volume of brain regions related to hearing and self-awareness appear larger in those who began taking music lessons before age 7. These regions influence language skills and executive function.
"Early musical training does more good for kids than just making it easier for them to enjoy music; it changes their brain, and these brain changes could lead to cognitive advances as well," said study author Yunxin Wang of the State Key Laboratory of Cognitive Neuroscience and Learning at Beijing Normal University in China, in a press release from the Society for Neuroscience.
The study was presented at Neuroscience 2013, the annual meeting of the Society for Neuroscience, held in San Diego in November. To learn more, go to www.brainfacts.org.
Got Rhythm?
Step training and other classes where it is important to move to a steady beat may be improving cognitive fitness as well as physical fitness.
Moving to a beat requires synchronization of parts of the brain responsible for hearing and for movement. People who are more capable of moving to a beat show more consistent brain responses to speech than those with less rhythm, according to a study conducted by researchers at Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois.
"This study adds another piece to the puzzle in the emerging story suggesting that musical rhythmic abilities are correlated with improved performance in non-music areas, particularly language," said John Iverson, PhD, a neuroscientist at the University of California, San Diego, in a press release from the Society for Neuroscience. Iverson was not involved in the study.
Under the leadership of Nina Kraus, PhD, at Northwestern University, researchers evaluated 100 teenagers as they were asked to tap along to a beat. The same teenagers were then asked to listen for a "da" sound, repeated periodically over a 30-minute period, as their brain waves were recorded by electroencephalography (EEG). The teens who were most accurate at tapping with the beat also showed a more consistent response to the "da" sound. Researchers concluded that there is a relationship with the ability to keep a beat and with the ability to accurately perceive sound. Kraus said to IDEA Fitness Journal, "Rhythm is inherently a part of music and language. It may be that musical training with an emphasis on rhythmic skills [has the effect of exercising] the auditory system."
The study is available in the Journal of Neuroscience (2013; 33 [38], 14981–88). You can also learn more at http://www.brainvolts.northwestern.edu.
