We stayed at this hotel for 4 nights, as part of a longer road trip through New Mexico. Disclaimer: our stay was free, but the opinions stated here are my own.
The king bed room is a good size, my parents stayed in one of those (they paid for their room). We stayed in a room with 2 queen beds, which was a bit tight (rooms are the same size, which is good for 1 king bed but ends up being tight with 2 queen beds). I like how the decor has a bit more personality than the other hotel chains, incorporating some of the local flair. The rooms we stayed in were in the A building, and had new furniture. There were 2 beds, one nightstand, one dresser, a desk with chair, an armchair, a small open closet. Room was clean, beds were comfy, bathroom was decent and had some amenities (shampoo, lotion and soap, makeup remover towelettes). There was only space for 1 of our bags in the small closet next to the sink, so I had to get the kids' clothes out of their bag into the dresser, no room for it.
Location is pretty good, walking distance from the Plaza, but they offer a shuttle service every hour if you don't want to walk or drive there. We drove because we were there with the kids who are little and I wanted them in car seats, but parking is a pain and I recommend you walk or use the shuttle if you can. Whole Foods is next door, and there is a great little restaurant called Vinaigrette a block down (wonderful salads, we had lunch there twice).
Free wi-fi worked well, breakfast was pretty standard - bagels, muffins, make your own waffle, oatmeal, toast, some fruit, cereal, coffee, juice, yogurt. We also used the coin laundry as we were in the middle of the trip and had some of the kid's clothes to wash. We got some detergent and dryer sheets at Whole Foods next door that were better quality than what they had available. No safe in the rooms, so we had to use one at the front desk.
Staff was very friendly and provided maps and list of recommended restaurants in the area, gave good tips about places to visit and routes. I requested more towels (as we were 4 people and only had 3 towels) and the housekeeping promptly delivered them.

CHICAGO—Radisson Blu Aqua Hotel, Chicago has received LEED Silver Certification from the U.S. Green Building Council.
The property, designed by eco-conscious architect Jeanne Gang of Studio Gang Architects, is located in Chicago's Aqua Tower. The hotel implemented practical and measurable strategies and solutions to achieve high performance in sustainable site development, water savings, energy efficiency, materials selection and indoor environmental quality to achieve the LEED Silver Certification. It received the award after passing a third party certification review process that incorporated numerous checkpoints to ensure the property's eco-friendliness.
The hotel made sure more than 92% of construction waste was recycled while it was being built. Day-to-day operations remain eco-conscious in the hotel's 20% reduction in water use, 31% reduction in light power, 100% use of materials with a low VOC content and zero use of chlorofluorocarbons.
LEED-related amenities at the property include the hotel's recycling program, 80,000-sq.-ft. green roof with native plants and enhanced thermal controllability.
Pierre-Louis Giacotto, GM of Radisson Blu Aqua Hotel, said in a statement, "LEED certification reaffirms our commitment to a greener, more eco-friendly future and we look forward to continuing to be a sustainability leader in the hospitality segment."

HAVE: Wanted- Circular needles
I am looking for a set of Connecting knitting needles. They are made by Boyle, come in a folding type book with various sized needles that join the piping and has connectors to keep the piping joined. The piping is hollow inside and are flexible. My mother gave me my first set when I was 16. I do know they are still out there.
Anyone interested in selling a complete set or know where I can get a set, my email: firstname.lastname@example.com
I'll be watching. Thanks in advance. Grama
Hi, It's called NeedleMaster by Boye(who are now owned by Wrights). it comes in a vinyl case/folder which zips closed. You can make knitting needles sizes 2-15.
I just checked the Wrights.com site and they listed a number of places where you could buy it, But - I could only find it on Herrschners.com(do a search on needle master and you'll see it). their regular price of this is $90(which is about what I paid 15-20 years ago).
Right now they have it on sale for $60.
I really love mine tho I don't knit as much as I used to do. You can make all kinds of circular and "straight"needles with the cables, etc. included.
Hope you find it. The Wrights.com website does have a form for ordering extra parts for the set if you want.
Just realized this is a very old post. Hope the info can help someone.

is dedicated to advancing alternatives to pesticides worldwide. Follow @pesticideaction
Thousands of community members and children's health advocates participated in our "week of action" last week, ramping up the pressure on California officials to take action on the brain-harming pesticide chlorpyrifos.
Our message? It's high time for the Department of Pesticide Regulation (DPR) to provide leadership to protect children from this chemical that scientists link to IQ drops and increased risk of ADHD and autism. Thank you for helping to make the week of action successful!
The battle for healthy communities in Kaua'i is once again ramping up. Last week, a federal judge issued a ruling overturning a popular pesticide reform law passed by the Kaua'i County Council last year.
Four global pesticide and GE seed corporations — BASF, Syngenta, Dow, and DuPont Pioneer — were all parties to the legal challenge. In the face of this latest round of industry pressure, PAN has vowed to work with community partners and lawyers to "explore all available options" to help defend the County of Kauai and support a fair and green food system in Hawai'i.
As summer comes to a close and kids head back to school in the next few weeks, we invite you to take action to protect their futures and help them achieve their full potential.
With our partners here in California, we are organizing a "week of action" pressuring state officials to better protect children's health by taking a stand against brain-harming pesticides. Please join us!
Earlier this month, USDA made clear that they plan to give the final go-ahead to the next generation of herbicide-resistent GE seeds. Widespread public concern about this new technology delayed its approval by more than two years. But on September 6, the final 30-day "waiting period" will come to a close, and Dow's new 2,4-D corn and soy will be approved for market.
PAN stands with communities across the country who are outraged at the pending decision. "USDA is much more interested in working with Dow and Monsanto to bring their products to market than in protecting the well-being of our farmers and rural communities," says PAN Senior Scientist Dr. Marcia Ishii-Eiteman in a passionate press statement.
Three legal developments in the last week — in New York, New Delhi and Bhopal — set back the quest for compensation and contamination cleanup for residents of Bhopal who were killed or injured in the 1984 pesticide plant explosion, one of the world's worst industrial disasters.
Not only were local residents harmed directly by the blast, but contamination at the accident site continues to put the surrounding community's health at risk. At the center of the past week's legal proceedings is the issue of corporate accountability for crimes against humanity, with Dow Chemical front and center.

For Anthrax Survivors, A Halting, Painful Recovery
By SHERYL GAY STOLBERG
Published: May 7, 2002
WINCHESTER, Va.— When he was laid up in the intensive care unit of the Winchester Medical Center with intravenous tubes sticking out at every angle, bleeding ulcers gnawing at his gut and the lymph nodes in his chest swollen up like cherry tomatoes, David Hose believed that anthrax would surely kill him.
When he left the hospital in a wheelchair 16 days later, Mr. Hose expected that certainly within a few months he would be back to normal, or at least well enough to return to his job supervising the distribution of diplomatic mail at a State Department center in Sterling.
Reality, for Mr. Hose and most of the tiny corps of survivors of inhalation anthrax, has been somewhere in between. Of the 11 people who came down with the deadliest form of anthrax after germ-laced letters were sent through the mail in October, six survived. Of those, one is well enough to return to work, even though the typical recovery period for a serious infection is three to six months. The others are caught in the limbo of recovery, grateful to be alive but wondering whether the aftereffects, both physical and psychological, will ever subside.
Some have nightmares. One has begun seeing a psychiatrist to cope with flashbacks that transport him, without warning, back to intensive care. Others complain that they are tired, short of breath and plagued by losses of short-term memory, symptoms that puzzle their doctors, as well as government experts.
''It's like we are going through an accelerated aging process,'' said Norma Jean Wallace, a postal worker who became infected in Hamilton, N.J. ''I guess I have grown to accept it as a way of life.''
If scientists learned anything last fall, it was just how little they knew about the germ and the disease it causes. Seven months later, the survivors are reinforcing that lesson. Before the attacks, just 18 cases of inhalation anthrax had been reported in the United States in the last 100 years, and nearly all of the victims died.
Mr. Hose, Ms. Wallace and the others, by contrast, offer a whole new window on those who catch the deadly disease -- and live. Having rewritten the book on anthrax treatment, they may well write the first book on anthrax recovery. For now, though, the pages are mostly blank.
''There are more questions than there are answers,'' said Dr. Arthur M. Friedlander, an anthrax expert at the Army biological defense laboratory at Fort Detrick, Md., who has met with the six. ''We know only about this disease historically, for the most part, up until the recent tragic events. So this represents an opportunity to learn.''
Now that the survivors are past the six-month mark by which they would have been expected to recover from serious infections, the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which has been collecting their blood for research, is contemplating more elaborate studies.
''We are sort of at the cusp,'' its chief anthrax expert, Dr. Bradley Perkins, said. ''As we get further out from the original infection and these individuals do not return to their normal activities, that is going to be of great concern to us. It will be a clear indication that we need to pursue all avenues to find out what's going on.''
Mr. Hose, a strapping 59-year-old, said he woke up feeling weary most mornings and took naps most afternoons. Once he recalled the arcana of international postal codes with ease. Now he finds himself searching, midsentence, for his thoughts.
His weeks are circumscribed by return trips to the hospital every Monday, Wednesday and Friday for exercises to improve his endurance. When he started in November, he spent three minutes on each machine. Today he is up to six. The color in his cheeks, once ashen, has returned to pink. But his respiratory therapist, Laurie Giangola, said, ''It's going to be a long road.''
There are several possible explanations for the lingering symptoms, Dr. Perkins said. One holds that toxins released by the bacteria have damaged the cells and tissues in ways that scientists do not fully understand. The side effects from long-term use of antibiotics may play a role. Or maybe the convalescence is simply longer than anyone thought.
Then there is the stress of having been involved in a terrorist attack. Besides feeling anxious, several survivors have become deeply suspicious of the government. Ms. Wallace is convinced that federal authorities know who carried out the anthrax attacks -- a government scientist, she conjectured in a theory rooted in unconfirmed news reports -- but are ''protecting that person for some reason.''
Mr. Hose is convinced that government scientists know more than they let on about the dangers of anthrax infection. ''I'm sure they know how much it can really do to you,'' he said. ''But they're not letting it out.''
Such sentiments are hardly surprising, experts said, in view of the circumstances.
''The whole issue of having been attacked cannot be underestimated,'' says Dr. Jonathan Rosenthal, a specialist in infectious diseases at the Mid-Atlantic Permanente Medical Group who cares for two survivors. ''These patients were very much aware that someone tried to assassinate them, and there is an enormous amount of anxiety and fear about that.''

too much for nothing by boating58 - 09/14/2011
We have eaten in on several occasions but decided to order out this time..What a mistake. We ordered the large boneless ribs and the large shrimp with broccoli..I got five shrimp in the whole meal..I have ordered from a competitive in the area for take out and I believe I will continue with them. What a disappointment. Out of the five shrimp,I got one because my great granddaughter ate the other four,lol..Just not a good amount of food for the money. About half of what we get at the other place for the same price...
Great experience!! by N. G. - 07/17/2011

Close to I-10, but quiet and very pleasant. The RV Park is very well cared for and has quite easy in/out access. We Had a clean and level pull-thru site that was well shaded with plenty of room for the slide-outs. There's plenty of room to walk pets, and a variety of stores and service businesses are close by. - george r
Very accommodating staff. They figured out a way to park us with our 40' RV and 24' trailer even though the longer pull throughs were not available. Good place to hang your hat for a night or two if passing through. - coehotrodder
Nice campground, just south of I-10 about half way between San Antonio and Houston. People in the office were very friendly. The sites are close and I think a lot of the residents are permanent. With the receipt, campers get 10% off at Frank's Restaurant which is a short walk from the walk and well worth going to. Wifi worked well. Not many TV channels on their cable system. - 69636

It was simple, affordable, and they had an indoor pool. Staff was really friendly and welcoming.
Friendly and helpful staff. The room was better equipped than I expected with kitchen items, a large refrigerator and microwave, dishwasher and stove top.
First floor room did not have view of the lake.
Beautiful, well appointed and up kept property, excellent staff. Overall fabulous and would recommend.
Grille food was slightly dissapointing.
The place was very clean and the stuff where all willing to help you. I would stay at this place anytime I was in Branson!
Loved the space, really got more than we expected. Exceptional value with full kitchen, dining table, living room & bedroom/bath in each unit. One was a bit larger with private balcony. Would highly recommend & if in Branson again will be the place to stay.
We had an A & B unit that each had a door off a private main entrance to the two units, would have liked a way to keep those doors open, since there was still a locking exterior door. But everything else was great.
The property was nicely appointed and well-maintained.We had no problems, the location is great, and the staff was friendly. Although I was there for a conference, my family was very comfortable there and we enjoyed our stay very much.
This was our 2nd visit to this hotel. Both times we were greeted by a very pleasant clerk. Our room was immaculate, both times. . Granite countertops, very clean carpeting, coffee pot, cream, etc. microwave, Internet. TV, Everything provided.
We liked everything, no complaints! We even took extra cards to pass out to others at the conference we were attending in Blue Eye, Mo.

Riccardo Tisci has an incomparable talent for using sheer and gilded fabrics. The detail on this fringed dress (and bag!) is quite similar to the album cover Tisci recently designed for a joint Jay-Z and Kanye West album.
While it wasn't apparent during the Chanel runway show, at the close the models posed in their early Coco-inspired designs with futuristic light-up shoes! Nothing like a little technology to impress the fashion folk.

It is not that obvious to many, but Feng Shui is as much about timing as it is about the layout of space. WHEN you take action and implement my advice is just as important as HOW and WHERE in the home or office.
When you consider that nature has its regular cycles, and that Feng Shui is all about the dynamics of nature, then it is no surprise that ENERGY or 'chi'/ 'life force' / 'prana' also has its time cycles. Read more →

Franz Joseph Gall and the Theory of Phrenology Daniel Nale Email: email@example.com CCJ 5606, Dr. Cecil Greek In the history of criminology, there have been many theories of the causation of crime and criminals. They have covered a broad range of disciplines, from the religious to the sociological, and to the scientific. This paper deals with one of the first theories on personality development - a theory that could fit in the biological, or pathological, model of deviance. It is the theory and practice of phrenology, created by the physician Franz Joseph Gall. Many historians attribute the beginning of pathological model of deviant behavior to Cesare Lombroso and his work done in the 1870"s (Pfohl, 1994:104). However, as Sue Reid (1994:130) points out, "if the study of phrenology is considered applicable, we are placing the beginning of scientific criminology about seventy years before the contributions of Lombroso". Gall (1758-1828), born in Tiefenbrum in Baden, Germany, received his medical degree in Vienna in 1785, after studying in Strasbourg (Bridges, 1997, para. 3). While employed at a Vienna asylum, Gall began studying the heads of patients there (Allen, 1998, para. 5). As Randy Allen (1998, para.5) writes, "from these observations, he determined that mental powers were indicated by configurations visible upon the head". Gall then began to lecture on his findings while still in Vienna in 1796, and in 1798 he published his first work on the observations (Van Wyhe, 2002a:24). Gall developed his work into a system, which he later termed the "physiology of the brain" (Van Wyhe, 2002a:22). This system was later given the name phrenology by an English physician, and, ironically enough, Gall did not approve of the name, even though it is still used today (Van Wyhe, 2002a:22). Before discussing Gall"s theory in detail, it is important to examine the environment in which he developed it. From a criminology viewpoint, pathological ideologies that differed from the classical or demonic perspective were considered, as Stephen Pfohl (1994:104) writes, "a dramatic break" from those earlier models. Deviance was before considered a choice, as well as a sin (Pfohl, 1994:104). Later in this work it will be illustrated how Gall"s work can be applied to the study of deviant behavior; for the time being the focus should be on Gall"s original profession. Therefore, from a medical viewpoint, Gall"s work was somewhat revolutionary and controversial. This is not to say that individuals such as Gall disrespectfully swung their ideas into the face of established theorizing. Instead, as John Van Wyhe (2002a:20) states, "theorizing within the medical community was common". He also describes the medical community in Vienna as "vibrant" (Van Wyhe, 2002a:20). The regime in Vienna during the time Gall was developing his theories was headed by Franz II, the last of the Roman Emperors (Van Wyhe, 2002a:20). Van Wyhe (2002a:20) states that in this time frame, Gall"s theories "were not radically new, but they were provocative and memorable". Despite this seemingly tolerant backdrop, as will be discussed, Gall did encounter opposition from the Vienna regime for his work. What about Gall"s work was controversial? Robert Young (1998:11) writes that Gall had the "first empirical approach both to the nature of the faculties and to their localizations". When Gall began to develop his theory, understanding of the brain was scarce, and that understanding was not based on scientific speculations (Sabbatini, 1997a, para.2). Indeed, as Renato Sabbatini (1997a, para.3) writes, the science of brain study was "bleak". Knowledge of the brain was gathered from dissections performed on dead bodies of both humans and animals (Sabbatini, 1997a, para.2). Gall"s ideas therefore began to shed light on the brain, and in the process argued against some of the more common held beliefs of his day. As Robert Young (1998:16) writes: There was something "biologically given" in the abilities of men and animals, and it was this that Gall maintained in the face of the sensationalism of his time. He was not upholding the doctrine of innate ideas; he was upholding differences in natural endowment. This viewpoint led him to reject the optimism of the more sanguine environmentalists and to insist that the moral perfectibility of the human species is confined within the limits of its organization. Gall"s theory therefore argued directly against the viewpoint of the "tabula rasa" – that the mind was a blank slate upon birth (Young, 1998:15). Interestingly, Young (1998:16) states that this viewpoint from Gall resulted in "much trouble within his own thought". This depiction is in slight contrast to the medical community described above by Van Wyhe, but it will be understandable once opposition to Gall"s work is discussed. Even if information on the brain was inadequate, it should be noted what other theorists of Gall"s time felt on the matter, whether their viewpoint be medical or from other disciplines. Steven Novella (2000, para.3) writes that in the 18th and 19th Centuries there were two schools of thought on brain organization. One believed that the brain was "homogenous", and that it always worked as one unit to produce body functioning (Novella, 2000, para.3). An individual function of the body could not therefore be associated with one particular part of the brain (Novella, 2000, para.3). A main proponent of this group was Albrecht von Haller, and as Van Wyhe (2002a:21) reports, his work was "the prevailing view of brain function in the 1790"s". The other group believed that the "brain was exquisitely compartmentalized", and that individual body functions could be found to have originated in distinct areas of the brain (Novella, 2000, para.4). In addition, this school believed that these particular areas of the brain were responsible for only a single function (Novella, 2000, para.4). This theory that formed the basis of the second school of thought was initially brought forth by Gall (Novella, 2000, para.4). Prior to these two realms of focus, theories on mental makeup were all across the board. Even though some of the earliest theorists (such as Hippocrates, Pythagoras, Galen, Erisistratus, and Plato) believed that the soul of people was tied into the brain, the "pneumatic physiologists of the middle ages thought that mental capacities were located in the fluid of the ventricles" (Wozniak, 1996, Chap.5, para.1). Others theorized "moral sentiments" could be found in the thoracic region of the body – such as the stomach for example (Combe, 1834, para.5). Aristotle felt "intellectual faculties" were found in the heart, while Des Cartes thought they were contained in a particular gland (Combe, para.5). It was not until around 1784 that the prevailing interest in these matters changed to consider the brain as the primary host of mental faculties (Wozniak, 1996, Chap.5, para.1). Regardless, George Combe (1834, para.6) writes that a "great number" of physiologists and philosophers still felt "that all men are born with equal mental faculties", and that differences between them are the direct result of "education, or to the accidental circumstances in which they are placed". As already mentioned, Gall did not subscribe to that belief of the mind as a blank slate. Indeed, as Combe (1834, para.6) writes, Gall saw firsthand "that his …schoolfellows had all received very nearly the same education, but that he had still observed each of them unfolding a distinct character, over which circumstances appeared to exert only a limited control". Prior to reviewing his theory, it should be noted quickly how Gall came about to beginning his research. Jason Bridges (1997, para.4) writes that Gall in college noticed a distinguishing characteristic of certain men who were better at memorizing material than he was; men who, interestingly enough, Gall felt to be his inferior. Specifically, he observed eyeballs of considerable size in these men (Bridges, 1997, para.4). As a result, he thought the reason they were better at memorizing was because the area of the brain responsible for memorizing was directly behind the eyes, causing the eyes to be larger than normal (Bridges, 1997, para.4). It was therefore a short leap for Gall to hypothesize that other parts of the brain might cause observable differences in the heads of people (Bridges, 1997, para.4). These early observations paved the way to his subsequent work, which in turn assured his place in history. Section II The core of Gall"s theory is based on a direct relationship between a person"s characteristics and the subsequent shape of their head; specifically, that one can map and determine a person"s personality traits from the shape of their skull. All the main points of Gall"s theory are outlined in a letter he wrote in 1798, which are hereby summarized. To begin the letter, Gall (1798, para.2) first states the purpose of his theory: My purpose is to ascertain the functions of the brain in general, and those of its different parts in particular; to show that is possible to ascertain different dispositions and inclinations by the elevations and depressions upon the head; and to present in a clear light the most important consequences which result therefrom to medicine, morality, education, and legislation a word, to the science of human nature. He outlines his "fundamental principles" (Gall, 1798, Part I, para.1) into seven points. The first is the "faculties" contain the "propensities" inherent in animals and man (Gall, 1798, Part I, para.2). With this point Gall argues against the view that a person is a product of his environment. As he writes, "those who would persuade themselves that our dispositions (or qualities) are not innate, would attribute them to education" (Gall, 1798, Part I, para.3). Gall (1798, Part I, para.3) does maintain that people can control these inherent traits under most circumstances, but he mentions examples of people who cannot resist urges to steal or kill. He then states that punishment on such individuals is "not less unjust than useless: they merit indeed only our compassion" (Gall, 1798, Part I, para.3). Gall"s (1798, Part I, para.4) second principle is that these qualities and inclinations of humans are contained within the brain. Gall (1798, Part I, para.4) maintains that the mind is affected by injuries to the brain instead of other parts of the body, and he also writes that the brain is "not necessary to life". Another important point Gall (1798, Part I, para.4) asserts under this principle is: The qualities of the mind, or, the faculties and propensities of men and animals, are multiplied and elevated in direct ratio to the increase of the mass of brain, proportionally to that of the body; and especially in proportion to the nervous mass….A man like you possesses more than double the quantity of brain in a stupid bigot, and at least one sixth more than the wisest or the most sagacious elephant. The third and fourth principles of Gall"s theory are maintained together in Gall"s outline. These two principles maintain that the "faculties" and "propensities" are separate from each other in the brain, and that the individual categories are further separated from each other (Gall, 1798, Part I, para.5). That is to say, all "faculties" are distinct from each other, in addition to all "propensities" being distinct from each other (Gall, 1798, Part I, para.5). Gall (1798, Part I, para.5) also believes that each of these qualities had their own place in the brain, and each of these spots was independent from the next. He also holds that these qualities can develop on different levels, in different time frames – that one might diminish while another grows stronger (Gall, 1798, Part I, para.5). Gall"s (1798, Part I, para.9) fifth principle is that other organs in the body are affected in their development by the formation of the brain. Gall (1798, Part I, para.9) writes that this principle can help define the differences in individuals and animal species. Gall"s (1798, Part I, para.10) sixth principle holds that the development of the qualities inherent in the brain result in the brain"s overall form. On this point Gall (1798, Part I, para.10) states, "an organ is the more active, the more it is developed". Gall"s seventh principle deals with the shape of the skull. He theorizes that the form of the skull is determined by the shape of the brain (Gall, 1798, Part I, para.11). Because of this, Gall (1798, Part I, para.11) feels that through the shape of the skull one can determine the "faculties" and "propensities" that are contained within the brain. Gall (1798, Part I, para.11) says that the brain and skull develop, "in the same proportion, and the same order, as the manifestation of the faculties and natural propensities". Therefore, according to this principle, an overdeveloped (or perhaps, underdeveloped) quality of the brain would reflect as such in the skull and could be recognized by someone trained in Gall"s theory. The second part of Gall"s letter deals with how he has and will continue to conduct his research. Gall (1798, Part II, para.1) states, "As I suppose a particular organ for each one of our independent qualities, we have only to establish what are the independent qualities". To do so he writes that he must examine the skull for elevations, depressions, and protuberances, in addition to examining the person for marked characteristics of their personality (Gall, 1798, Part II, para.1). He also writes that he will use plaster models, and collect skulls of dead animals and people (Part II, para.1). Studying actual brains along with injuries to them and disease that affects them is also discussed (Gall, 1798, Part II, para.5-6). In this letter from Gall, one can see the beginning of the science of phrenology. John Van Wyhe (2002b, para.1) calls phrenology, "a science of character divination". After Gall, there were many other practitioners of phrenology. Despite these other practitioners and their opinions, it is interesting to note, as Van Wyhe (2002a:23) reports, that although Gall continued his research for the rest of his life, he "never made any substantial changes to his system after its formulation in the 1790"s". Section III Although Gall"s theory was innovative given the time frame in which it was developed, the methodology Gall and other phrenologists used was flawed; most of the basic tenants of the theory have also been scientifically disproved by advancements in research and technology. Shepherd Franz (1912, para.2) writes that although the concept of phrenology was "naïve and crude", it still "dominated" within the medical fields of physiology and neurology for over a century. He also states that although Gall"s work and other phrenologist"s subsequent work was not "received with entire confidence and faith", the concept on functions of the brain that phrenology proposed was "too alluring to be dispensed with" (Franz, 1912, para.4). Eventually however, Gall"s theory of phrenology was "equated to other forms of quackery" (Sabbatini, 1997a, para.11). When critiquing Gall and phrenology, a logical starting block is the methodology he and other phrenologists employed. The main method used to confirm Gall"s findings came from his study of the head"s exterior form, and from his findings from autopsies performed after the deaths of patients (Allen, 1998, para.5). Subsequent phrenologists developed a method of mapping the head using a caliper tool (Allen, 1998, para.21). In discussing this methodology, John Van Wyhe (2002b, para.3) contends that phrenologists (including Gall) "sought only confirmations for their hypotheses and did not apply the same standard to contradictory evidence". Van Wyhe"s (2002b, para.3) main point is that such contradictory findings were "explained away". His example is that of a person with a supposed developed "organ of Benevolence", who did not possess benevolent qualities, which would in turn be explained by phrenologists as meaning "other organs counteracted Benevolence" in the brain (Van Wyhe, 2002b, para.3). In summary of this critique, Van Wyhe (2002b, para.3) writes: What was never accepted by phrenologists…was that admitting that the activity of a particular faculty could be independent of the size of its organ undermined the most fundamental assumptions of the science – and thereby rendered all of its conclusions inconsistent and meaningless. Gall"s methodology was also attacked by Pierre Schlag. Although Schlag (1997, para.45) admits Gall was not a "hack or charlatan" as other phrenologists were known to be, he was "not even-handed with his own methodological commitments". Specifically, Gall would rely on evidence he felt supported his claims, but he "had no fixed criteria, no standard, no threshold at all, for deciding what constituted supporting evidence" (Schlag, 1997, para.45). Instead of taking the position of further study and discovery to support their claims, phrenologists worked from the assumption they already possessed "secure and certain knowledge" (Schlag, 1997, para.47). Schlag (1997, para.46) also reports that if the evidence contradicted the diagnoses, it would be "explained away" – exactly the same criticism Van Wyhe mentioned earlier in the above paragraph. Phrenologists therefore, including Gall, "employed a shifting burden of proof : data tending to confirm the veracity of phrenology were accepted immediately as evidence and treated as true, while anomalies, falsifying data, and critical commentary were treated as presumptively false and rejected" (Schlag, 1997, para.47). Robert Wozniak (1996, Chap.5, para. 5) writes that even if Gall"s theory was flawed, he did use sound scientific logic and in turn tested the theory rigorously. Regardless, given his methods and the time period, parts of his theory truly could not be tested empirically (Sabbatini, 1997b, para.3). This brings us to another researcher of Gall"s time who clashed with his findings through the use of a different methodology. Marie-Jean-Pierre Flourens, a French doctor and scientist, was Gall"s "most persistent opponent" (Wozniak, 1997, Chap.5, para.7). Through his work on brain dissection, Flourens maintained the brain was only one organ, with regions of the brain controlling body function (Allen, 1998, para.25). Flourens" experiments on birds demonstrated how the animals could still function even if parts of their brain were removed (Allen, 1998, para.25). These findings naturally were in sharp contrast to Gall"s theory of the brain consisting of multiple organs separate and distinct from each other. Also, it was dissection work conducted on living animals, which Gall had not performed. Gall did address Flourens" research by attacking dissection as a way to damage and disfigure all the organs of the brain (Wozniak, 1997, Chap.5, para.10). Gall also felt that brain injury, such as in the form of lesions, could not be isolated and removed; further, such injuries would affect all organs of the brain (Young, 1998: 49). These objections to Flourens" work, however, have been termed "inadequate" (Young, 1998: 47). Besides this early work by Flourens, medical advancements since the time of Gall have also discounted his theory. One of these is the fact that the overall size of the brain does not grow larger or smaller depending upon usage (Novella, 2000, para.8). It has been found that neural connections do grow stronger and denser, but they do not change the brain"s size (Novella, 2000, para.8). Also, the brain has been found to shape itself to match to the shape of the skull, not the other way around as Gall theorized (Novella, 2000, para.8). These discoveries have been made possible through the use of technology, such as computerized scanning devices, "which can render the anatomical relations between the two structures with exquisite detail" (Sabbatini, 1997b, para.4). One final note should be made on the criticism Gall has faced on his theory. As Gall was working on a multi-volume publication of his theory, a decree in December 1801 from the Emperor Franz II surprisingly banned Gall"s work and suppressed his lectures (Van Wyhe, 2002a:25). There were numerous reasons listed for this in the order – one was the attendance of females at lectures, another being that some supporters of the theory might "get carried away" (Van Wyhe, 2002a:25). Why this decree actually came about is a matter of debate. Van Wyhe (2002a:25) reports that an article in 1806 blamed Vienna"s clergy, although he further states that there is not any direct evidence that the clergy disagreed with Gall. Van Wyhe (2002a:25) instead maintains that "Gall"s system was of great interest to clergymen". Apparently, there is also evidence that the Emperor"s physician was the jealous type, and that it was often his suggestion to the Emperor to censor new ideas in the scientific and political worlds (Van Wyhe, 2002a:25). Regardless as to why, Jason Bridges (1997, para.9) states that the Catholic Church "branded Gall"s work as deterministic and materialistic, and as having atheistic implications". The opposition from the Church did not fade - as Bridges (1997, para.9) continues, "when Gall died, the Catholic Church denied him a Christian burial". Although not based on reasonable logic or scientific evidence, this criticism possibly could have been the most damaging to Gall on a personal level. Section IV Although Gall"s work did initially become popular, it has since been relegated to be nothing more than a historical footnote, with some few exceptions that will be briefly discussed. In researching this work this author found no current studies using the theory of phrenology in the realm of criminological thought today. This research included inspecting the internet, current book databases, and current journal databases as well. As Robert Young (1997: 11-12) points out, Gall"s work has been "totally abandoned by subsequent investigators" with the exception of "some very lucky guesses". However, the theory that Gall proposed can be easily linked to the overall shape of criminological thought, especially when viewing how other disciplines evolved from it. The theory that Gall purported did gain positive recognition. The ideas of Gall, as reported by Randy Allen (1998, para.4), became very popular in the 19th Century. Allen (1998, para.4) states that phrenology, "fit with the psyche of popular culture". He also writes that the discipline allowed people to consider themselves equal to others, and that weaknesses (and strengths) could be identified and improved upon (Allen, 1998, para.4). Allen (1998, para.4) also writes that the theory of phrenology became particularly exceptional to the population of America, because "perfection, wealth, and power were all within….reach". Another comment on the popularity of Gall"s theories is provided by Renato Sabbatini (1997a, para.9): The logical and easy-to-learn structure of the phrenological theory quickly captured the imagination of thousands of followers. The preciseness and scientific assurance of its terms and maps made headway in a time where the main enemies of rationalism were religion, subjectivity, and autocracy. Due to this, Gall gained the support, if not the minds, of many important scientific and political figures in many parts of the world. He was their champion, in a terrain dominated by the teachings of religious philosophers. It appears therefore from this reading that Gall and phrenology provided a creative spark in an otherwise sparsely lit environment – both socially and scientifically. Concerning usage, the theory reached its peak between 1820-1842; both the USA and Europe saw the rise of parlors where people utilized the help of phrenologists for every aspect of life (Sabbatini, 1997c, para.1). It was for that reason part of popular culture. Even so, it would be remiss to forget the extensive criticism that was brought against phrenology reported on in Section III. As Steven Novella (2000, para.22) says, "200 years of….neuroscience has shown phrenology to be false". Does that mean phrenology is completely dead in the realm of theorizing? As Renato Sabbatini (1997a, para.11) writes, "amazingly enough, there are still followers and believers of phrenology around". The two most prominent followers of the 20th Century were Bernard Hollander, a psychiatrist, and Paul Bouts, an educator (Sabbatini, 1997d, para.2). In Britain, there was a Phrenological Society that lasted from 1886 to as late as 1967, and apparently there may be a phrenological company in Britain that still sells phrenological items and information (Sabbatini, 1997d, para.2). The business, called "The London Phrenology Company", founded by a Peter Cooper in 1983, was created in order to renew interest in the theory (Van den Bossche, 1998b, para.5) Probably the most interesting information on the current state of phrenology today is provided through the inspection of the work of Peter Van den Bossche, who is still a proponent of the theory. He writes, "extensive experimental verification of the Phrenological [localizations] have proven their practical value", and "The Phrenological analysis of personality remains of incomparable value to assess the character" (Van den Bossche, 1998a, para.6). Van den Bossche (1998a, para.10) contends that the errors in phrenological diagnosis occur due to mistakes made in the examinations of the head (or incomplete examinations), "insufficient attention for the interaction between faculties", and because of brain disorders that change the normal shape of the brain. Van den Bossche (1998a, para. 8) believes that by measuring a person"s skull one can ascertain which of his traits are developed, and therefore project "an overview of the subject"s character and personality". This is exactly what Gall proposed two centuries earlier. Even though phrenology has been discounted and discredited, the use of the theory can be linked to the development of criminological thought through examination of the other disciplines it evolved into. Before that examination begins, it can be easily seen how phrenology could be applied to deviant behavior. Earlier in this paper it was mentioned that Gall studied patients in an insane asylum. As Matthew Vukin (1999, para.28) writes, "phrenologists took a strong interest in the insane because they represented subjects with overdeveloped faculties". He also points out that phrenologists explained insanity as a problem of the brain, and not a sign of God (Vukin, 1999, para.28). As for criminals, the treatment and study of them was also a "natural bridge of the phrenological theory" (Vukin, 1999, para.29). Criminals were viewed by phrenologists as "unfortunate and curable" (Vukin, 1999, para.29). The basic use of phrenology therefore, if correct, could help identify criminals by correlating skull irregularities and their subsequent brain organs with deviant behavior. Gall himself "manifested a desire to visit the prisons of Berlin" in order to study the people incarcerated therein (Williams, 1894:48). He also was "especially requested to examine the heads of prisoners" accused of crimes (Williams, 1894:49). When examining these individuals, it was reported that "in every case, [Gall"s] diagnosis agreed with the result of the proceeding of their trial" (Williams, 1894:49). As for the other disciplines that phrenology evolved into, Renato Sabbatini (1997a, para.11) reports that the theory is responsible for the rise of other "branches based on the quantitative analysis of facial and cranial features", such as anthropometry, psychognomy, and craniology. Anthropometry and craniology involved measuring facial and cranial features in order to classify, identify, and document subjects (Sabbatini, 1997d, para.6-7). Alphonse Bertillion used and expanded anthropometry to take measurements of convicted criminals" bodies in order to help identify future criminals (Sabbatini, 1997d, para.7). A modification of these techniques was later developed by Cesare Lombroso (Sabbatini, 1997d, para.7). Would these theories have been developed if Gall had not first postulated his? Possibly; as it is Gall certainly must have been quite influential to some of this work. One researcher, Moriz Benedikt (1881: vii), in his book "Anatomical Studies upon Brains of Criminals", credits Gall in the Preface, stating "however greatly Gall erred in detail, the impetus he gave was very powerful". These offshoots of phrenology made more of an impact in modern times. Up until the 1930"s, some justice systems still employed the use of anthropometric measurements of defendants in their own trials (Sabbatini, 1997d, para.7). A more prominent (and unfortunate) use of such disciplines was from the Nazi regime in Germany (Novella, 2000, para.19). Measurements made on subjects were "used to verify pre-existing social prejudices", and the Nazis used them to "prove Arian racial superiority" (Novella, 2000, para.19). Van den Bossche (1998b, para.6) admits that this fact has "given a very bad name to the science". Novella (2000, para.19) cites that the use of the theories by the Nazis was a reason such "pseudosciences" were abandoned. In conclusion, although phrenology is not employed currently in the field of criminology, its link to how criminological thought processes developed is evident. It is certainly a historical part of the biological, or pathological, view on criminal behavior. In the opinion of this author, phrenology marks the beginning of the biological model. That model, as Stephen Pfohl (1994: 143) states, "is still very much alive" in spite of "its long legacy of failure". When reviewing abstracts from articles in the American Society of Criminology, Criminal Justice Abstracts, and the Social Sciences Citation Index, it is clear Pfohl is correct – many researchers and theorists are postulating still that deviant behavior can be linked to specific biological causes. Even if not in use today, and even though it has been soundly discounted in the time following its inception, phrenology should be regarded as a significant step in how criminals and their behavior are now studied.

Pope Benedict XVI bids farewell to public life
Pope Benedict XVI greeted the faithful for the last time as pope, telling well-wishers gathered at the Vatican's vacation retreat that he is beginning the final stage of his life as a 'simple pilgrim,' hours before he became the first pontiff in 600 years to resign.

3 Myths About Facelift Surgery
1. Facelifts do not look natural, like your face has been blown by the wind. The truth is that there are various types of facelift procedures depending on the amount of sagging in the skin. Not all candidates require a full facelift. They range from the Neck lift, Mini-facelift, Limited Incision Facelift to the full Facelift. If you were going to have a procedure, imagine your skin and underlying tissue being gently lifted back...

St Anthony's School is located in the town of Cinderford in the Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire. We are a well known Primary School with a Christian foundation and strong links with the Catholic Church nearby and we welcome children of all faiths and none.
Our academic results are good and many of our children move on to Grammar Schools in Gloucester or to other Independent schools. We believe that this is as a result of effective teaching within small class sizes.
It has been said that St Anthony's is more like a family than a school, our children develop a strong sense of belonging and are encouraged to show care and respect for each other. The school has consistently been praised for its high expectations in standards of behaviour.
Don't take our word for it, we would love you to visit the school and see the children at work and at play. Contact us to arrange a visit. We look forward to meeting you.

Christmas cactus hybrids
I'm very interested in Christmas/Thanksgiving cactus and related species.
I have some old true Christmas cactus (Schlumbergera russelliana x S. truncata) which I have crossed with Thankgiving cactus (S. truncata); 5 of those seedlings flowered for the first time this winter; each one is quite unique in appearance. I have a bunch of nice seed pods on them now.
However, I can find very little information on breeding Christmas cacti. I'm interested in creating hybrids, but it is nearly impossible to find anything but Christmas and Thanksgiving cacti for sale.
I purchased some S. opuntioides on ebay, but there was a delay in delivery and the heat pack ran out and the poor things arrived frozen, and there are no others for sale that I can find, anywhere (not that I would get any more until the weather warms up).
Does anyone know if they can be crossed with similar genera, such as Easter Cactus (Rhipsalidopsis)?

A pit stop to Pick 'n Save, 6950 W. State St., took a turn for the worse when a 39-year-old Milwaukee woman's date said he stole from the store as he was fleeing police in her vehicle.
According to the Wauwatosa police report:
The date started at 9:24 a.m. March 25 when the woman got a call from her boyfriend, whom she called Butch, saying that he needed a ride from a hospital. He had gotten into an argument with his ride, leaving him stranded.
She picked him up and they stopped by Pick 'n Save on the way home. The seemingly innocent trip took a suspicious turn when, after leaving her at the salad bar, Butch returned panicked and on the phone. He said he got an emergency call and they needed to leave right away.
She didn't know that security was on his heels for hiding two 1.75 liters of liquor in his jacket.
The man asked if he could drive her car when police entered the parking lot, sirens screaming. She thought nothing of it until Butch drove through stop lights and hit 50 mph on State Street.
She screamed and told him to stop her car, prompting him to call her stupid, to tell her to shut up and to let her know that he stole from the store. Police ended the chase as the two went into oncoming traffic to pass cars and continued to run stop signs.
The man finally stopped her car close to the Miller Brewing Company and ran out without a word.
She went to the Wauwatosa police station the next day to tell her side of the story. When asked for a name and number for her boyfriend, she said that he didn't give her much information due to him already having a girlfriend while they were dating.

Baltimore Mayor Sheila Dixon will be sentenced Jan. 21, a date that could become her last day in office if her bid for a mistrial is unsuccessful and other legal maneuvers fail.
The mayor has not said whether she plans to relinquish power and has refused to answer questions about her conviction, citing post-trial motions that her lawyers are drafting. Last week, a jury found Dixon guilty on one misdemeanor charge that she embezzled retail gift cards intended for needy families.

It's Friday evening, that surreal few hours in which your work self evolves (or devolves) into your weekend self. You're feeling that bizarre mix of tired and excited. You're hungry for something fun, something relaxing, something... weird. And a good old-fashioned piece of oddball cinema — be it a mind-bending mystery, a psychological thriller, or just your standard trippy horror film — is the way to go. For this week's Freaky Friday, Netflix Hand-Picked Flix recommends Mister Foe.
Jamie Bell stars in this creepy, voyeuristic thriller as Hallam Foe, an eccentric loner who is obsessed by the idea that his stepmother (Claire Forlani) is responsible for his mother's recent death. After his stalking goes too far, his father (Ciaran Hinds), kicks him out of the house, and he escapes to Edinburgh, where he hops from roof to roof, spying on the inhabitants of the city. However, once he discovers Kate (Sophia Myles), a woman who happens to be the spitting image of his mother, she becomes the sole focus of his obsession.
A strange, twisted film that is, at times, reminiscent of Vertigo, Mister Foe is the kind of film that will make you squirm uncomfortably in your seat while ensuring that you are unable to look away. Much of that is due to the standout performance by Bell, who isn't afraid to play up Hallam's Oedpial fixation or creepy hobbies, while still somehow making him a compelling, somewhat sympathetic character. Although the film's ending is rather divisive, Bell's spectacular acting turns Mister Foe into just as much an awkward coming-of-age tale as it is a freaky thriller that will leave you excited and unsettled. Just make sure nobody can see through your windows first.
Mister Foe is available to stream instantly on Netflix. Check back tomorrow for our Saturday Night Fever suggestion.Follow @hollywood_com Follow @julesemm

Crystal Reports has a special field name "DataDate". This date shows the last time the data on the report has been executed. A recent client asked for the similar functionality in SSRS when a snapshot is run. They wanted to see the actual date for to be used as a print date but they wanted to have the date the data was pulled for the report. This can be accomplished with the build in field in SSRS named ExecutionTime. This will return the date the report ran last even when the snap shot is pulled up much later. So you can have the Now() function show the current date, so you know when the report was printed. And you can have the date the data was updated similar to the DataDate in Crystal Reports.

Hi I am trying to implement Ajax in SharePoint. I have installed AJAX extensions 1.0 in MOSS2007 but I am not able to find the extensions in my SharePoint Designer. Can anyone help me in this issue?
Setting up SharePoint to work with the MS Ajax controls is possible - I've done it before, but it does require various web config changes and some hacks in the code of the parent web part - something you are unlikely to be given access to do on a production system if you are working with SharePoint designer.
JQuery is probably a better option - you can put the script in a document library and it makes working directly with javascript a lot easier.
Calling the standard sharepoint web services from javascript works quite well - I recently posted some sample code on my blog that you may find helpful.
It's not really possible. MS Ajax requires a specific doctype to exist in the header, but Sharepoint does not provide it.
The solution for you, my friend, can be found here.
