The new rice age
Population growth and rising food prices have made rice a more precious resource than ever. What's more, it has entered mainstream Jewish cooking
Follow The JC on Twitter
A fifth of calories consumed around the world come from rice, and in recent months, due to climate change, the growth in world population and stock market volatility, prices have escalated. So rice can no longer be considered the bland accompaniment to meat, chicken or fish but a precious ingredient in its own right.
Rice has played an important part in Jewish cultural history. Its cultivation began simultaneously in numerous countries over 6,500 years ago, but the Asian rice (oryza sativa) was introduced to the Middle East in Hellenistic times - grains have been found in a grave in Susa, Iran, dating from the first century CE.
By the second century CE, it was cultivated in Mesopotamia and Persia. The Moros brought rice to Spain in 700CE after conquering the country, and local Jews were quick to adopt it as part of their dietary culture. Jewish merchants began to exchange this adaptable grain for silks and spices, and especially for citrus fruits. They even embraced an ancient Egyptian and Syrian tradition of throwing rice at a bride and groom to symbolise fertility and good wishes.
Indeed, rice has long been an integral part of the Sephardi diet alongside vegetables, lemons, herbs, spices and healthy olive oil - and now patently plays a major part of the Ashkenazi diet. So, maybe it is time to rethink that innocuous bag in your kitchen cupboard.
For perfectly cooked rice, use basmati, which gives a nice fluffy texture. Use 450g (1lb) rice with 600ml (1 pint) water, stock and salt to taste. Wash the rice a few times to remove excess starch and leave to soak in fresh water for half an hour. Drain and put into a good saucepan with water or stock and salt, bring to the boil and add a tight-fitting lid. Lower heat and leave to simmer for 10 minutes. Turn off the heat, and leave for another 5 minutes with the lid on. Gently fluff with a fork and serve. Of course, you can add coconut milk or a few strands of saffron, chopped fried onion to add variation while Sephardic "pink rice" is enriched with chopped tomato, chopped fried onions, garlic and thyme.
Or try my unusual herby mushroom, chestnut and red wine risotto which is cooked in the oven - so much easier than the traditional risotto, and is made with short grain brown rice - full of goodness, imparting nutty flavours - healthier, higher fibre and low GI while still giving that soft, comforting deliciousness.
For 4-6 portions, use 350g, 12oz short grain brown rice (not basmati). Heat oven to Gas Mark 3, 170º C, 325ºF. Sweat one large peeled and chopped onion, 1 finely chopped stick of celery and two chopped, well-washed leeks in 1 tablespoon olive oil with a peeled and crushed clove of garlic in a heavy casserole that can go from stove to oven.
Soak 25g (1oz), porcini mushrooms or equivalent, adding 400ml (14fl oz) boiling water. Leave to stand for 8-10 minutes until re-hydrated. Add 450g (1lb), chopped, fresh mushrooms to the onion mixture with a few fresh thyme leaves, cooking for a few minutes. Drain and chop dried mushrooms, add the mushroom liquid, the rice, 750 ml (1pint, 5oz) stock, and 100ml, 3½fl oz medium dry red wine to the pan and bring to the boil. Season with freshly milled salt and black pepper.
Cover and place in the oven. Check after 30 minutes in case it is drying out - you may need to add a little more stock. At this stage add a tin or packet of ready-to-use chestnuts (optional). Stir gently. Then cook for another 15-20 minutes. The mixture should be creamy and unctuous.
This dish is a substantial meal in itself but as it is parev, you could add cheese or even leftover chicken for a more substantial meal.

Areas Of Focus
Remote sensing is the art and science of deriving useful information from imagery and other data acquired from a distance. The Remote Sensing for Soil Survey Applications course will provide the theoretical understanding and hands-on experience necessary to enable soil scientists and other soil survey specialists to use remote sensing data and techniques to develop data and information products that can assist with initial mapping, update mapping, and MLRA-wide analysis and correlation.
Lectures introduce theoretical concepts in remote sensing and connect these concepts to soil survey applications. These concepts have broad applicability and are illustrated with examples from across the US. A variety of lab exercises in Erdas Imagine 9.3 allow participants to apply the techniques presented in lecture. Lab exercises incorporate data from a variety of landscapes across the Desert Southwest and Intermountain West, including the Mojave Desert (California), the East Shore Area of the Great Salt Lake (Utah), the Powder River Breaks (Wyoming), and the San Rafael Swell (Utah). The class will culminate with a final project designed to reinforce topics and skills presented throughout the course. The final project study area is the San Bernardino Was Quadrangle, Mojave Desert Ecoregion, California.

No need to be alarmed here. I've been on Adderall XR 30mg for years, and recently switched back to it after half a year on Vyvanse. Story goes: Years ago, generic Adderall XR became available, and was manufactured by Teva Pharmacuticals (they are the company that sued Shire (the original manufacturer/creator of the medicine) for the right to manufacture the drug.) After winning their case, they began manufacturing the medication and there were very slight differences in the capsule - not differences in the medicine or how it works, but simply how the capsule looks (color, size). More generic manufacturers sell this medication now, and although it all works the same, you will notice very slight differences in the capsule between manufacturers. As for the 30mg, I've noticed that some capsules are bright orange, while some are brownish-orange.
The inscription you're speaking of has to do with manufacturing the capsules before they are filled with the medication. While Shire may have had a defined process for inscribing 'XR' on the colored portion, and '30MG' on the clear, the cheaper generic companies probably send both ends of the capsule down the line, and whatever they're inscribed with is what you get. Inscription varies heavily in generic Adderall, I have found, both regular and XR. It all works the same though.
The pharmacists would have nothing to do with inscription, etc. They do not fill the capsules, they simply count them. It's also something they take extremely serious since this is a controlled substance, so the chance of something getting messed up in the process of getting to you is highly unlikely. The pharmacy will not tamper with your medication, and as long as the capsules are filled properly, then the manufacturer made no mistake - although capsules will vary.
When it comes to being 'tampered' with, it's what happens when we get out of the pharmacy with our medication that you need to be most concerned with. While its unlikely that the medication would be tampered with before it gets to you - the world is a crazy place, and some people try to use these as drugs (that's where they end up getting their bad rep anyway - drug abusers, not individuals with ADHD.) I've never had an issue as I try to be very careful with the medication, but if you truly feel your medication isn't right, this is the first route I'd explore.View Thread

As feature sizes of the latest generations of electronic devices are approaching atomic dimensions, circuit speeds are now being limited by interconnect bottlenecks. This has prompted innovations such as the introduction of new materials into microelectronics manufacturing at an unprecedented rate and alternative technologies to silicon CMOS architectures. Despite the environmental impact of conventional fossil fuel consumption, the low cost of these energy sources has been a long-standing economic barrier to the development of alternative and more efficient renewable energy sources, fuel cells and batteries. In the face of mounting environmental concerns, interest in such alternative energy sources has grown. It is now widely accepted that nanotechnology offers potential solutions for securing future progress in information and energy technologies.
Joint event
The Canadian Semiconductor Technology Conference (CSTC) forum was established 25 years ago in Ottawa as an important symbol of the intrinsic strength of the Canadian semiconductor research and development community, and the Canadian semiconductor industry as a whole. In 2007, the 13th CSTC was held in Montreal, moving for the first time outside the national capital region. The first three meetings in the series of 'Nano and Giga Challenges in Electronics and Photonics'— NGCM2002 in Moscow, NGCM2004 in Krakow, and NGC2007 in Phoenix— were focused on interdisciplinary research from the fundamentals of materials science to the development of new system architectures. In 2009, NGC2009 and the 14th Canadian Semiconductor Technology Conference (CSTC2009) were held as a joint event, hosted by McMaster University (10–14 August, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada) and the scope was expanded to include renewable energy research and development.
Symposium highlights
This special issue of the journal Nanotechnology is devoted to a better understanding of the function and design of semiconductor devices that are relevant to information technology (both electronics and photonics based) and renewable energy applications. The papers contained in this special issue are selected from the NGC/CSTC2009 symposium. Among them is a report by Ray LaPierre from McMaster University and colleagues at the University of Waterloo in Canada on the ability to manipulate single spins in nanowire quantum bits. The paper also reports the development of a testbed of a few qubits for general quantum information processing tasks. Lower cost and greater energy conversion efficiency compared with thin film devices have led to a high level of activity in nanowire research related to photovoltaic applications. This special issue also contains results from an impedance spectroscopy study of core–shell GaAs nanowires to throw light on the transport and recombination mechanisms relevant to solar cell research.
Information technology research and renewable energy sources are research areas of enormous public interest. This special issue addresses both theoretical and experimental achievements and provides a stimulating outlook for technological developments in these highly topical fields of research.

Heart Lessons
54 comments:
Oh dear... I don't like days like that! But know that we all have them and we have them because we learn from them! We are not perfect ~
We will always be here to listen and not judge, so feel free to come back and spill your guts :-)
I hope today is a better day for you my friend! Chin up!!"calling any friend who would listen and just being plain bitter"
Ouch. I just got convicted here. Lots going on with sisterly love in my family and I did that yesterday (called anyone who would listen and whined/complained/justified my actions on the phone with them) It's also a nasty habit of mine that I've started to develop. I couldn't put my finger on what it was that had changed about me in the past 2-3 weeks but I knew it was something, kept apologizing to friends for complaining too much feeling a conviction but not clear on what exactly I was doing. Reading this today it jumped off the screen at me like "Hey Autumn! You do this!!! Listen up!" I like to think of myself as a peacemaker but if you push certain buttons I turn off the peace part and just make life harder (and it takes a lot to push those buttons, but sisters have a way of doing it so easily, maybe because they know exactly what to say/do)
Anyways, thanks for this post I needed to hear it myself. (Much as I would like to ignore it and pretend I didn't hear it the true test is in what I'll do now that I know exactly what it is I'm doing that I shouldn't do.)
Lots of love,
~AutumnOh honey, I've so been there... many times!! It's been so hard in the past to NOT tell someone when you're an open book like I am, (and you are) so I totally get it. I get it DOWN DEEP. I just can almost not stand sharing my 'what's what' with anyone who will listen when I'm upset but I'm learning and changing slowly. It's soooo hard! Conflict is so hard and relationships are so messy. It seems that in this life we are called to embrace the 'messy' in every relationship for Jesus's sake! Lately I've been applying Philppians 2:3 to everything I do... it hits me daily. Hard.
Your heart is precious, and the Lord will bless it. Hang in there sweet friend.Your heart posture (today) fits exactly to what I'm going to say next...
"Go to the throne, instead of the phone".
This is a small nugget of wisdom that I've learned over the years (not always implemented, I'll be honest)... I'm not even sure where I've gotten it from. But as I was reading your post, it is what came to mind.
Love ya, hope this day is a better one.I'M LIKE YOU, I HATE CONTENTION! BUT WE ALL HAVE DAYS LIKE THAT, AND YES OLE SATAN LEADS US ON DOWN THAT PATH, MAKING US MISERABLE, LIKE HE IS, AND THEN LAUGHS AT US! THANK GOD, HE HAS SHOWN US A BETTER WAY, AND WE ARE HIS CHILDREN AND WE SEEK AFTER HIM STILL. GOD BLESS YOU, YOU HAVE SUCH A SWEET HEART...WISHING FOR YOU GOOD DAYS! COME SAY HI :D
ReplyDeleteoh goodness, I have been here more times then I would like to admit.. and I am sorry your heart is hurting. I hope you and your friend can make up or perhaps agree to disagree, because friendships are important and I do hope you don't loose her over what ever happened. I hate confrontation too, hate it...big hugs to you sweetie~
ReplyDeleteI think that is how things usually go! When the Lord is doing a work within you, that ol' flesh just raises its ugly head and tries to prevent it. I guess this is what Paul meant when he said we must die to the flesh daily. I'm glad we serve a God who is never too busy for our hearts. He said all things work together for the good of those who love Him and keep his commands. Our need is only limited by HIS supply, and He's got more than enough to go around. :)
ReplyDeleteOh sweetie, I know that song and dance all too well. This summer it was a daily ritual. I would say the worst things to my ex and then cry and feel so bad. I fumed about it and then felt guilty. I believe in my heart God cares about the little things in my life and in yours. Let it out, tell him (and us) all if that's what it takes. Jesus died so that we sin and be forgiven. I am thankful for that everday. I have faith that you will have peace with the person soon.
Praying for you
NancyBecky, we're apparently cut from the same cloth. I get torn up inside even when I don't raise my voice because having a strong difference of opinion is just so hard. However, I got into a disagreement with a friend last weekend and because of other issues I had with my friend, I felt heat inside my heart and I don't like that one bit. I didn't say anything unkind, but she became so upset that when I returned a few minutes later to see if she was okay, she wouldn't look at me and yet she said it was no big deal (a defense mechanism). I, too, am dealing with the Father on my issue and hope to have it resolved one day very soon.
You know what is happening don't you? Since you started the Love Dare with all of the wonderful and great intentions, well good ole' Satan is working hard on us all, hoping we will fail at it. It's happened to me this week also, and I'm ashamed.... but the great thing is..."greater is He that is in us, than he that is in the world." We can do it right with His help. Let's all get back up and press on once again!
So glad you live in the REAL with the rest of us.
Lee AnnI loved Lee Ann's comment. I couldn't agree more. We have all had those bad days, when Satan seems to get his way (argh). It's the next days that matters more. How we chose to respond to Christ's nudgings. Stay encouraged, Jesus is rooting for you and so are we! Your honesty is refreshing!
ReplyDeleteWell, I have to say you've passed. You are officially HUMAN.
The fact that you're able to recognize your mistake just shows where you are in your walk with the Lord. I love that you are so quick to recognize where your shortcomings are and how you know that He is the one to help you change.
This is a post I could have easily written (except for the natural peacemaker part....I'm sorta an antagonist at heart....whoops....)
And I thank you for writing it, as it is completely convicting to me!
xoxoDays like this are so hard Becky but remember that He will always have time for you. Like some of the girls said, you are human and some days are better than others. Everyone reaches a breaking point in some situations and it is good to let it out instead of keeping it all bottled up inside. Hugs for a better day tomorrow. xo
ReplyDeleteAh, so tough. I know how you feel. I hate discord, too. I feel so uncomfortable knowing there is strife between me and a friend, co-worker, or family member. I just want to make it right again! Usually I lose my temper for the weirdest reasons, too. And I hate to say it, but I can often blame it on hormones!
I do hope you find peace with what happened and patch things up soon. You are a good person with a good heart, and good people can make mistakes and have bad days, too!Your photo speaks volumes. I am so very sorry that your hurting. I guess the way that I look at family and friendship is that we have our moments with one another good feelings, hurtful feelings. Like you, I am a peacemaker. I would rather switch then fight. :) However, I have had my moments when enough was enough and I lost it. How did I feel afterward? The very same way that you did. I hope that the person you are close to will understand that your only human and that you will both be able to get past the bad feelings. The last time I had this experience was about 13 years ago and it was with my younger sister. Oh I was so hurt by things she said to me and before I knew it I got angry and said things I wish I had never said. We had silence between us for 10 of those past 13 years. I tried and tried to make it up to her but she has very little forgivness in her heart. It's just the way she is. We talk now but only once a year. I miss what my sister and I once had. We were so close. I have prayed many nights over this but I guess this is the way that it will be. I believe that God took the time to listen to me. But I think that my sister is not open to hearing what he may be saying to her. That's just a guess on my part. I hope that you and your special person will mend things quickly.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us Becky. I always take time to think about what you write. Thank you for continuing the Love Dare. Thank you for also putting the song "World I know" by Collective Soul on your playlist. It is one of my favorite songs.
I'm sending good thoughts, prayers and hugs to you.
MaryAww Becky! I hate that you had such a crappy day!! It absolutely drains you to have a day like that!! You know being that we are human it is only in that nature that something like this can happen! I know many times I will tell myself the way I am acting isn't taking the high road or making WWJD decisions, but I continue it because it "feels" better in the moment...Even if it really doesn't! And you are right Satan was eating that up! But you knocked him down by posting this and seeking God's help!! You rock and don't forget it!!
ps~ I got my painting today!!! And I LOVE it!!! I will be posting about it soon!!
PRAYERS & HUGS & LOVE for your my friend!!Becky, it is moments like these that Satan (thinks)he's gotcha, BUT guess what God has you right in the palm of His hand. All we need to do it keep our eyes on Him and not the circumstance. He always has time for you.
Now, I am not telling You I am perfect, I am telling you what I am working on. With that said, it is alot easier to just act out of our human nature and then look for justification ( phone calls) It is through these emotions, where the enemy knows if he can get just get in there and trigger them, he may have a chance to distract us from our journey. The exciting part is that we can learn what these "triggers" are learn to respond in our godly nature.
You are on the right path, transparency and wanting to be more like Him is all He wants.
Out of our mouth - our heart speaks, so I think it is very accurate that this would happen during your "love dare",you are searching the right place your heart.
I pray He will comfort you with peace, understanding and wisdom.First of all, I just wanted to say thank you sooo much for visiting my art blog. It was so awesome hearing from you.
Now on to your post. Did you read my diary? Because this so describes days that I have experienced, feelings and all, to a "T." Every time I really try to follow God and His ways and really work on my marriage or other relationships, Satan gets right in there to try and sabotage the whole thing. That's why it's not so easy. Also, we have this thing called "the flesh" that makes it so difficult to walk in the Spirit. But press on we must. Move forward. Thanks for sharing and being so open. Hope all is patched up and forgiven soon and that you can start over with a clean slate. Hang in there. Today will be a better day. (Spend time with God, take your cod liver oil, eat some dark chocolate and soak up some sunshine. lol)i can tell you are a wonderful person. just the fact that you are upset with yourself for being upset with someone else. most people call that a normal day, to get angry at others. i am like you, i find it very difficult to get upset at others and letting them know it, it upsets me for days.
but we are human and that is just a part of life. i hope you have a better day and great weekend!Oh girly you are awesome. Pray for your day today that Satan won't find any joy in it! AMEN! Love your open heart and willingness to move your face right back to God..., albeit after a upset moment, but focus on the fact that you choose this day to find peace and God's gentle hand just walking it through with you.
Love you friend,
KristinConsider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.

ReplyDeletehere I am waaaaay down here at the 'new bottom'of your comments...only for a moment I'm sure. I'm so glad to hear that your depression has lifted. But, what an attack you're undergoing now. I did see that someone said 'go easy on yourself'. Sometimes, when you think you're wrong, you're not (all?) wrong. It's very easy to follow emotions, much harder to examine it and stick w/the (many?) facts and the Lord and what He tells you to do. I think about Ephesians 6:10-19 which includes, when you've done all to stand, stand therefore... or how hard it is to learn 'be angry and sin not'. (Heavenly Father, I lift Becky to You at this time. Knowing how hard these kinds of things can be, how multi-faceted so many things are, I pray for her heart to be enlightened with Your wisdom in this matter. I pray that she uncover what You are teaching her and telling her to do and that she is able to do it without fear and with confidence in You. I pray for whoever is involved, that You will speak to their heart as well. Open doors that need to be opened and close doors that need to be closed. I thank You for Becky and her heart and her blog. I thank You for how You speak to me with things she goes through. THank You for this 'body of Christ' that works together, through it all. I praise Your name. May Your will be done in us, around us and through us. In the name of Yeshua, Christ, our Savior. Amen.) Love ya, Jenn
ReplyDeleteOh goodness...I'm so happy to be reading your post today, because I had a day just like this yesterday. I got angry at a coworker, said some not so nice things to her, and then proceeded to tell several people about our arguement so I could get a little sympathy.
The Lord started working on me before I even got home,..I asked for forgiveness, but still had a pretty sleepless night. I'm going to take her a Latte Monday morning and tell her I'm very sorry for my words.
I guess we all have those kinds of days, and if we weren't convicted by them, then there would be something wrong, right?
Thanks for sharing! It happened to be very timely for me!!

thesurvivor2299.comI want to believe so badly. Fallout 4, please let it be Fallout 4. First clue, the date. New Vegas takes place in 2281, so 2299 is very believable. But what's really important is the source.prepareforthefuture.com is the fallout website. The last link, the one with "wads_atheneum" almost definitely refers to the Wadsworth Atheneum in Hartford, Connecticut. This game is going to be about the Commonwealth.There's also a link to the Bethesda youtube channel. The morse code audio is called bridgeport, which happens to be a town in Connecticut.Get hype.

Hype statues: Still waiting
Posted Nov 15, '13 at 7:38pm
This is becoming more and more believable. The website has a Vault-Tec symbol below the countdown timer now.Also, turns out there is a tumblr too. It has some audio files, and a few pictures. There are also some random text posts with seemingly little meaning. There is a gif of what is very reminiscent of a terminal from Fallout malfunctioning. Here it is:This image makes me very hopeful. My hype levels are reaching critical levels. You can see the tumblr for yourself here.

You'd think they'd let people have a little fun with their ARG before putting out big posters with 4s on them and all but confirm it.Oh well. Wasted potential, but the game should be good.

NIN did a better viral marketing campaign than this.
Posted Nov 19, '13 at 8:27pm
Well it turns out that the tumblr isn't marketing at all. The tumblr is a fan project, and is nothing more than a really good fan story. All pictures I posted from the tumblr are not made by Bethesda.However, the owner of the tumblr has stated that he is not related to thesurvivor2299.com website, and was inspired by it to make his tumblr. So now all we have is this countdown and a Vault-Tec logo. Also, the source of the website seems to have changed. It looks like they removed the links to the Bethesda youtube and to prepareforthefuture,com

fallout is over rated. its not even that good
Posted Nov 22, '13 at 3:04pm
So the website seems to keep changing. Earlier there was a bunch of letters on top of the countdown, it's gone now but I took a screenshot earlier. It was on my phone so it looks a bit off.This is a Caesar cipher that translates to "My dear sister. I'm heading to the institute. God knows what happened to this place now. This old ******* will help us. He must help us."The institute is another clue that the game will take place in the Commonwealth.

A number of people have got in touch to let us know about a new study that has been published, identifying once again that violent videogames may have an effect on the brain of the player. It's a finding that, in general, is worth taking notice of – last week I wrote about a meta-analysis discussion conducted by Nature that showed a consensus amongst researchers that there is a noticeable change in the brain after prolongued exposure to violent videogames. However, things get more interesting when you dig into who was funding it. Which turns out to be a campaign group who have some dubious claims of their own.

Ban "Call Of Duty 3″, Cries Keith Vaz
By John Walker on November 23rd, 2011.
Oh sigh, as soon as we report some balanced coverage of the effects of gaming, of course Keith Vaz appears once more to make everyone feel stupid again. He's tabled an Early Day Motion to condemn Modern Warfare 3, presumably after some careful analysis to make sure such a thing would bring him maximum attention. Well, actually he's condemning "Call Of Duty 3″, which is perhaps a bit late. But heck, why know the name of the game you're wasting Parliament time over? Where he finds time to play all these games between chairing so many parliamentary committees I cannot imagine. Because of course he's played the game he describes as having "gratuitous acts of violence", right? More than that, he's even finding the time to do his own scientific research, because his (as yet unpublished, I presume) study has found that "there is increasing evidence of a link between perpetrators of violent crime and violent video games users." Which is a remarkable finding!
Nature's Neuroscientific Review Of Games
By John Walker on November 23rd, 2011.
The presence of videogaming matters in scientific papers has, of late, become a somewhat depressing prospect. With both formerly respectable/respected scientists making unsupported claims without evidence, and published papers basing conclusions on woeful errors and contradictions, the one place where you'd think you could look for balanced, reasoned thought on a subject sometimes seems to have abandoned us. But there is light. Nature, surely the most respected and popular scientific journal, has published a "Viewpoint" discussion on the subject of gaming's effect on the brain in its Nature Reviews Neuroscience journal. Brains On Video Games is a collection of leading experts looking at the published material and discussing the matter with open minds.
Is Baroness Greenfield A Nuclear Bomb?
By John Walker on November 8th, 2011.
No. No she is not. But Baroness Greenfield recently came under some considerable fire for making inaccurate and unevidenced claims about gaming's effects on the brain. The once highly respected scientist has now become a go-to for the worst sorts of anti-scientific scaremongering. It's one thing when a Melanie Phillips type writes any old rubbish that falls out of her face, but when it's the former director of the Royal Institute, it's especially sad and frustrating. So how did the member of the House of Lords, and professor of synaptic pharmacology at Oxford, respond to the widespread criticism debunking her claims? She produced more of the same, this time in the form of an edited extract from a forthcoming book, published in the Times (requires subscription) on Saturday.
FPS Players Make Accurate Decisions Faster
By Jim Rossignol on September 14th, 2010.
More medical news from University of Rochester, NY, who have long been experts in gaming science. Their most recent research shows that action games help us with quick decision-making. The study by Daphne Bavelier, Alexandre Pouget, and C. Shawn Green shows that shooter-playing gamers make faster decisions that are no less accurate than their The Sims-playing counterparts. "It's not the case that the action game players are trigger-happy and less accurate: They are just as accurate and also faster," Bavelier said. "Action game players make more correct decisions per unit time. If you are a surgeon or you are in the middle of a battlefield, that can make all the difference."
Full release here. Have a read of that for the methodology, before speculating about the methodology, eh?
Gamers "Can Control Dreams"

Synopsis uitgever
"Peter Stanford, an established biographer and writers on religion (one of his books is The Devil: A Biography) has here produced a well-rounded, beautifully written, and thoroughly researched biography. As Day-Lewis was such an overwhelmingly personal poet, Stanford weaves a significant quantity of the poetry into his biography, even providing the occasional element of critical analysis as well. The result is a sympathetic and gripping portrait of a fascinating man and influential poet who, it is to be hoped, will begin to garner the critical attention he most richly deserves...Stanford has performed a marvelous service in helping to recover the life and poetry of an unfairly neglected poet and in the process celebrates a strand of twentieth-century poetry that stands as an alternative to Modernism."-Kevin J.

Noninvasive, in vivo assessment of mouse retinal structure using optical coherence tomography. PLoS ONE, 4(10):e7507.
| Published Version 2MB View at publisher |
BACKGROUND: Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a novel method of retinal in vivo imaging. In this study, we assessed the potential of OCT to yield histology-analogue sections in mouse models of retinal degeneration. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: We achieved to adapt a commercial 3(rd) generation OCT system to obtain and quantify high-resolution morphological sections of the mouse retina which so far required in vitro histology. OCT and histology were compared in models with developmental defects, light damage, and inherited retinal degenerations. In conditional knockout mice deficient in retinal retinoblastoma protein Rb, the gradient of Cre expression from center to periphery, leading to a gradual reduction of retinal thickness, was clearly visible and well topographically quantifiable. In Nrl knockout mice, the layer involvement in the formation of rosette-like structures was similarly clear as in histology. OCT examination of focal light damage, well demarcated by the autofluorescence pattern, revealed a practically complete loss of photoreceptors with preservation of inner retinal layers, but also more subtle changes like edema formation. In Crb1 knockout mice (a model for Leber's congenital amaurosis), retinal vessels slipping through the outer nuclear layer towards the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) due to the lack of adhesion in the subapical region of the photoreceptor inner segments could be well identified. CONCLUSIONS/SIGNIFICANCE: We found that with the OCT we were able to detect and analyze a wide range of mouse retinal pathology, and the results compared well to histological sections. In addition, the technique allows to follow individual animals over time, thereby reducing the numbers of study animals needed, and to assess dynamic processes like edema formation. The results clearly indicate that OCT has the potential to revolutionize the future design of respective short- and long-term studies, as well as the preclinical assessment of therapeutic strategies.

Gregory Ivan "Greg" Combet AM MP (/ˈkɒmbeɪ/; born 28 April 1958) is a former Australian politician and trade unionist. He was Secretary of the Australian Council of Trade Unions between 2000 and 2007. He was elected member for the New South Wales seat of Charlton for the Australian Labor Party at the 2007 election and was immediately appointed Parliamentary Secretary for Defence Procurement in the First Rudd Ministry on 3 December 2007. Combet was the Minister for Climate Change, Industry and Innovation in the Second Gillard Ministry[2] before announcing his resignation from the ministry on 26 June 2013[3][4] following Gillard's defeat in a leadership ballot. He previously served as Parliamentary Secretary for Climate Change, when Penny Wong was the Minister.
On 29 June he announced he would be retiring from politics at the 2013 election.[5]
Early life[edit]
Greg Combet was born in Sydney and attended Eastern Creek Primary school, then Rooty Hill High School from years 7 to 10.[6] He completed his secondary education at Baulkham Hills High School.[6] He was later educated at the University of New South Wales where he studied mining engineering,[7] and then graduated from the University of Sydney with a Bachelor of Economics, and a Graduate Diploma in Labour Relations and the Law. He was a project officer for the New South Wales Tenants' Union, before working for the Lidcombe Workers' Health Centre. In 1987, he was employed by the Waterside Workers' Federation, now part of the Maritime Union of Australia.
Union activity[edit]
Combet's association with the Australian Council of Trade Unions (ACTU) began in 1993 when he became a Senior Industrial Officer. In 1996 he was elected Assistant Secretary and in 2000, following the retirement of Bill Kelty, he became Secretary. Over his time at the ACTU, Combet has co-ordinated many union campaigns, including the 'Cavalcade to Canberra' of 19 August 1996, an anti-Howard Government protest which ended with breakaway protesters attacking Parliament.[8] He rose to further prominence during the 1998 Australian waterfront dispute. Combet also participated in campaigns to secure entitlements and compensation for the staff of the collapsed airline Ansett Australia and asbestos victims of the James Hardie company. In his capacity as Secretary of the ACTU, Combet led the campaign against the Howard Government's WorkChoices industrial relations law changes.
On 25 March 2007, The Sunday Age reported that senior Labor Party figures had announced that Combet would run for election representing the ALP in the safe seat of Charlton in New South Wales.[9] However, later that day Combet told The Age newspaper that he was not planning an entry into federal politics at the 2007 election, preferring instead to continue leading the ACTU's campaign against the industrial relations law changes.[10] On 4 May 2007, Combet confirmed his intention to run for Charlton.[11] The sitting member for Charlton, Kelly Hoare, expressed anger at losing preselection for her seat,[12] and for a time considered running as an independent.
Combet stood down as ACTU Secretary to campaign full-time in Charlton in the lead up to the federal election. On 14 June 2007 Jeff Lawrence, National Secretary of the Liquor, Hospitality and Miscellaneous Union (LHMU) was elected unopposed as the next Secretary of the ACTU.[13]
Combet was elected as the new member for Charlton on 24 November 2007 as part of the ALP's victory in the 2007 Australian federal election, achieving a two party preferred swing of 4.47 percent, winning 62.87 percent of the two party vote.[14] Following the election, Prime Minister Kevin Rudd appointed Combet as Parliamentary Secretary for Defence Procurement in the First Rudd Ministry. He was sworn in on 3 December 2007.[15] In February 2009, Combet was appointed Parliamentary Secretary for Climate Change, with a focus on emissions trading, to assist Climate Change Minister Senator Penny Wong.
As a result of the resignation of Defence Minister Joel Fitzgibbon and the subsequent ministerial reshuffle, Combet was promoted to the outer ministry on 6 June 2009, as Minister for Defence Personnel, Materiel and Science and Minister Assisting the Minister for Climate Change. Combet's portfolio was amended in April 2010 to Minister Assisting the Minister for Climate Change and Energy Efficiency and Minister for Defence Materiel and Science[16] and to help him focus on the Government's energy efficiency programs, he axed part of this scheme – Home Insulation Program (HIP) in late April due to the safety risks and the blow out in funding.[17][18]
Combet was re-elected to Charlton at the 2010 federal election, suffering a post-redistribution two party swing of 0.24 percent, winning 62.67 percent of the two party vote.[19] After Labor was returned to government in this election, Combet entered Cabinet, succeeding Wong as Minister for Climate Change and Energy Efficiency. Following the passage of the government's Clean Energy Bill, the portfolio of Industry and Innovation was added to Combet's responsibilities. Combet had decided to step down over health concerns prior to Prime Minister Gillard's defeat in a leadership spill on 26 June 2013, but brought this decision forward and announced he would step down as minister and not contest his seat in the upcoming election.[20] [3][4] The seat of Charlton was subsequently won for the ALP by Combet's former advisor and chief-of-staff Pat Conroy.[21]
Combet is a director of the Chifley Research Centre.
On 12 June 2006, he was appointed a Member of the Order of Australia for service to industrial relations and through advocacy for the improved health and safety of workers, including people affected by asbestos-related diseases, and to the community.[22]
Combet is separated from his second wife, Petra Hilsen, and has one daughter, one stepdaughter and one stepson. In 2012, Combet began a relationship with ABC-TV newsreader Juanita Phillips.[23]
Combet has stated that he is an atheist.[1]
In 2014, Combet published his autobiography The Fights of My Life.[24] Since leaving politics, he is pursuing a career in the superannuation industry and the private sector.
In the 2007 ABC-TV series Bastard Boys, dramatising the 1998 Australian waterfront dispute, in which Combet was heavily involved, the role of Combet was played by Daniel Frederiksen.

Native to: Australia, Papua New Guinea, & Melanesia.
Introduced to: Guam, other Pacific Islands, Hawaiian Islands.
Mode of Transportation: The Brown Tree Snake was a stow-away on a military ship headed to Guam after World War II.
Before the Brown Tree Snake was introduced to Guam, there were no native snakes on the island. Since the island's animals hadn't evolved ways of defending themselves from snakes, they were easily snatched up and eaten by the invader.
The hungry reptile has killed most of Guam's lizard and bat populations, and has brought 10 of its 13 native bird species to extinction. The snake has also caused significant economic damage because it climbs electric lines and causes major black-outs.

Ground Control policy regarding the sale of replacement parts:
Ground Control Suspension Systems is a company that has dedicated all of its resources to creating a system of dampers, springs, machined aluminum, bearings etc. to work together in harmony. Ground Control is willing to sell the parts to restore or repair an original Ground Control Suspension System to its original configuration and intended use.
We do not sell any parts to repair or patch up kits sold by other companies. If you need parts or repair of a suspension manufactured by another company, we recommend you contact the manufacturer.
Ground Control also does not sell half-kits. Ground Control cannot sell just the front or rear system, because it is impossible to create a tuned suspension system when someone else has manufactured half of the parts to an unknown specification. This would be the same as selling a left side only suspension to match something else on the right side.
Sales of replacement parts for Ground Control Suspension Systems are evaluated on an individual basis. Proof of purchase is required, and pictures, or the physical return of some parts may be necessary. Sometimes, it may even be less expensive to buy a complete new kit if many of the parts have been lost or hijacked.
Ground Control policy for used parts and springs:
Ground Control Suspension Systems Inc. has always offered a lifetime warranty on our complete suspension kits. In order to continue to offer the lifetime warranty, we can only assemble and sell a complete, tested, matched and guaranteed suspension kit.
In consideration of our many, long time Ground Control customers, we are willing to assemble kits using springs or parts already purchased from Ground Control Systems by the original owner.
What this means is that, if you have already purchased parts from Ground Control, and would like to modify, change or upgrade your existing suspension kit, you may send your parts to Ground Control and we will reassemble your parts into the kit you wish, if possible.
Of course there can be no guarantee that the reconfigured kit will cost the same, but you may save money, time, and have the satisfaction of continuing your lifetime warranty against defects from Ground Control Suspensions.
This offer is only considered for the original purchaser, using parts exclusively supplied, and directly from Ground Control.
The customer is responsible for all shipping, and a Returned Goods Authorization number (provided by Ground Control in advance of all returns) will be required.

COLUMBIA— Singer Angie Stone's "No More Rain" played through the speakers at Douglass Park on Saturday as attendees of the Juneteenth event took cover from the storm under the park's shelter.
Roughly 30 people were in attendance when the rain began, and they all huddled together as it fell on this year's festivities commemorating the emancipation of American slaves. Attendees swayed along to music played by disc jockey Mitch Henderson.
Juneteenth is the oldest national celebration of the end of slavery in the United States. The event originated in Galveston, Texas, on June 19, 1865, when Union soldiers, led by Maj. Gen. Gordon Granger, announced the end of the Civil War. June 19 became known as African-American Emancipation Day, according to the official Juneteenth website.
This announcement arrived two and half years after President Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation, which abolished slavery in only Confederate states in 1863; but it was not until the arrival of Granger's forces that the proclamation was fully implemented.
In Columbia, Juneteenth celebrates African-American heritage and achievement. Bill Thompson, an event organizer, arranged displays of newspaper clippings, advertisements and information about famous black Columbia residents, such as pianist J. W. "Blind" Boone, dating back to the early 1900s. The rain forced Thompson to sweep the display off the table and bring the papers to his car.
"I try exposing people to different things," Thompson said in reference to his displays. "It's about letting people know there is a rich heritage."
For Curtis "Boogieman" Soul, who has helped organize the celebration for the past five years, Juneteenth is a time to commemorate independence within the black community.
"This is our Fourth of July," Soul said, as three young boys gathered in the center of the shelter and began to dance to Pharrell William's "Happy." "In 1776, white America was freed from England, but black folk were still slaves."
Before the rain, Columbia resident Martha Mitchell sat under the shelter watching everyone around her.
She's been coming to Columbia's Juneteenth event for 20 years. For her this is a time to celebrate with the community.
"Kids come down and play games," Mitchell said. "And then they'll have bands down here, too. You can come down here and enjoy yourself and talk to other people."

Yes, it's just north of Walsall :o) Cavern accommodation available on Saturday night for anyone making the journey.
No running for me today. I've been fairly busy and unaccountably tired. But I promised myself that ANY running during the week after Abingdon would be a bonus, and I've done 20 miles this week without difficulty and not had a post-marathon low.
Training for a spring marathon starts tomorrow. I'm putting off drawing up a mileage-building schedule on the pretext that I want to read the Pfitzinger and Douglas books that eL Bee has ordered from Amazon to see what their advice is first. But it really IS just a pretext. The truth is that I can design beautiful, logical schedules but I'm rubbish at following them. Given my history of life getting in the way of running, I'm always tempted to do a little bit extra, bank a few miles, or do tomorrow's session today so that if something happens tomorrow it can't derail my training. And that's a good way to get injured.
I think I'll start with just this week :o)
Looking forward to RD checking in!

Mr Dap, where art thou ?
A week off with the sniffles, but despite still being a phlegm factory, I ran my hilly 8.6 mile route today in 1:07:54, which is a minute faster than last time, and I felt much stronger in the legs. The break obviously did me good. On this subject, if I have my Glen Clova Half on Saturday the 11th, what should my running ideally be next week ? Would say 6 miles on the Monday and Wednesday mornings be OK ?
I passed a fellow runner at 6.15 am, which is the first time EVER in 3 years of running. No one else in this town of 6,000, runs in the morning it seems. I would have loved to have found a new running partner, but he was going too slow and only planned on doing a mile or 2.
The wife has ordered me a bright yellow pair of Saucony's and some reflective wristbands for the dark mornings.
She has obviously remembered how much she loves me, as last year I got jet black leggings, and a matching long sleeved top, to go with my black Nike's, making me the Milk Tray man, but also very difficult to see for the sleepy headed tractor drivers and farmers at 6am on a Scottish Winters morning!

Your running plan for the week before the Glen Clova half sounds very sensible, LS :o) If everything else is OK and you're going scatty, another run on the Thursday isn't likely to do you any harm.
Aren't you worried about Mrs LS's motives for wanting to keep you alive this winter?
>Evil Reptilian Grin<
8 miles for me this afternoon. My adductors are a little sore but I don't think it's anything that will cause significant problems. It may have something to do with a mass seesawing escapade at the swing park with the kids yesterday. I'm indulging in my cure-all - extra biscuits with my morning coffee :o)

Hi all - mind if I join in. Where is RD -still running?!!
My marathon times are:-
Loch Ness 06 - 4:23
Abingdon 06 - 4:08
My 10 K PB is 47 mins and my half PB is 1:50. Not happy with these times as I haven't raced these distances for some time and PBs set while using these races as training runs for marathons.
Sub 3:45 should be easy -thats what I thought last year!!
30/10/2006 at 13:41
I only run 3 times per week too. There was a marathon schedule in the RW magazine of Jan or Feb 06, based on 3 runs per week, + 2 episodes of 40 mins of cross training. The runs were a speed session, a tempo run and a LSR, the longest of which was 20 m I think, twice. I am hoping this schedule holds good.
Can anyone tell me why so many people give up alcohol once they start marathon training. Is it because the calories are 'empty' or because they don't run well after drinking too much ? Surely 2-3 glasses red wine / day would not diminish performance, assuming all other calories were full of good things ? Or is there a reason? Thanks for any light shed on this one.

I only give up alcohol the week before the race as it dehydrates. Not aware of many formulites who give it up during their whole training

London 95 4:25 (Longest race before Marathon was 10k just enjoyed the atmosphere)
London 96 4:49 (Hottest ever London Marathon – At 6M I new I was in trouble at 10M had to run/walk to end. Was in great shape)
London 99 4:09 (Easy run to 18M just under 9m/m. Increased the pace and blew up at 22M. Should have been well under 4h)
Blackpool 99 4:31 (Stopped running after London and just did 6 weeks of running in the build up)
London 00 4:06:18 (Was aiming for 3:45)
Blackpool 01 4:25 (Very windy)
London 02 4:38 (Never felt right, could not get going)
Edinburgh 03 4:32 (Went of to fast, struggled second half with stomach cramps)
Loch Ness 04 4:25 (Ok for 15M and then struggled home)
Robin Hood 05 4:41 (Easy first half increased the pace then suffered in the last 10M.)
London 00 4:20 (Had a cold in the 2 weeks before London so took it easy during race)
Half marathon PB is 1:38:31 set 5 weeks after my marathon PB in 00. It was one of the easiest races I have done and at the end I felt I could have gone faster (Obviously peaked 5 weeks too late)
Missed a few days of running with a sore hamstring, easy run tonight with the wife to see how it feels.
Should be racing Sunday if legs OK then hopefully again at Snyd on the 10th December (Baby sitting permitting)
Well done Velociraptor on your sub 4h marathon.

Welcome, UmBongo. Sub-3.45 should be easy for you, looking at your 10k and half-marathon times. But marathons are a lot less predictable than shorter distances.
I don't give up alcohol when marathon-training. I drink so little anyway that it's not worth giving up. Lots of people on here are quite heavy drinkers and I'm amazed that they can stand up, never mind run. For those who DO give up, I suspect that they fall into two groups - those who run better without a hangover and those who see marathon training as a whole big ascetic lifestyle package, with ice instead of scented bubbles in the bath, and High5 bars instead of Mars bars, and horrible synthetic clothes that don't co-ordinate, and painful pointy-elbow-in-the-hamstrings massages instead of sex, and getting up at 4am to run on winter mornings.
I'm sure that if I'm going to expect my body to churn out 60+ miles a week it's more likely to co-operate if I ask it nicely and make its life as comfortable as possible. That's my excuse, anyway ;o)

Well done, RD :o) That's a better time than all but one of my FLMs!
I'd love to do Snowdonia sometime. It's such a gorgeous corner of the world!
I've done a ploddy 8-miler this afternoon. Can't complain - I've been running far more comfortably than I deserve recently and was more than due a dose of heavy quads.

Ripped Dap - fantastic - WELL DONE! Looking forward to the race report.
I'm now more or less over the cold. How galling that it coincided so precisely with Barns Green. But hey ho. Hoping to be out running with my club tomorrow evening.
Mulling over a possible 10k before the year's out, at least to give me something to aim for.

Or I will turn my mind to other spring options ...

Guess I can join in now my cheque is cashed, although I bequeathed so still a little bit of doubt if i'm in. Did 4:09 this year after a bit of a mental rather than physical breakdown at 22 miles!! I'm sure I can dip under 4 next year, maybe........

No cashed cheque here also .. I've still got a chance at a club place but also quite fancy Lochaber.... Hmmmmmm.
I'm hoping that marathons aren't addictive H.R.R as I'm not yet sure those 20+ miles LSRs are how I want to be spending saturday mornings indefinately !! After 5 years without lie-ins they are v. enjoyable.
Weetabix, thanks for that I shall look out my back copies of RW !
I've just had my entry confirmed for the 4 villages half in january so thats my next target. I think I'm intrinsically lazy and so having a goal really helps...
Oh nearly forgot Well Done R.D. and glad you enjoyed Snowdonia !

>Slips in looking for refuge from the dreaded hasmychequecleared fever.<
I am going to HAVE to pop into the bank on my travels today and find out. eL Bee says his cheque is in the process of being cashed, but he can't remember whether or not he bequeathed so we won't know for certain whether he's in until December.
I'm slightly achy today. On reflection, I think the weekend I just had was not the ideal sort of weekend to have in the aftermath of a marathon. Which is not to say that I didn't enjoy it - I just ended up totally exhausted.

Alpine Glass Ltd were looking for a company to help us get up and running with a new web page when we came across Red Web and we started dealing with [name removed] where we explained our requireioments and budget and [name removed]was more than adaptable to both.
Althought we were unsure of exacty what we wanted [name removed] provided us with examples of his work which he had created for his other clients to see what was available and once we had decided what we were wanting [name removed] got to work weaving his majic with our web page taking away all the the hassle of the process of the hole project and we we were up and running live on the net in no time at all.
Alpine Glass Ltd have ended up with a web page that looks impressive, contemporary and professional which is what we were hoping for and is everything we as a company stand for and at a VERY AFFORDABLE PRICE.
Throughout the process of the site being constructed [name removed] has been very adaptable, understanding and pateint with us as we havent been the easiest of client howevere but we got there in the end and we are very happy with the results.
There is also the peace of mind that [name removed] is always on hand should we need help as and when – his help and back up if required doesnt end when the web page goes live
THANKS AGAIN [name removed]

The state Revenue Department announced the extension today and said no late fees or penalties will be levied during the extension. People whose last name begins with a Q, S or T renew their tags in September.
Department officials said the extension also applies to people registering recently purchased vehicles.
Alabama's new immigration law requires motorists renewing a tag to have the Alabama driver's license number and license expiration date for each owner. That applies when a husband and wife own a vehicle jointly.
Tags lines have been so long in Birmingham that officials are adding portable toilets.
