Post-August Darnell work by Dr Buzzard's Savannah Band – no longer using the "original" in their name! There's still a retro-styled feel here overall – with some of the swing-esque modes of earlier albums, but also a bit of rockabilly as well – an element that kind of diminishes the soul component of the record. Cory Daye is on vocals on most tracks, and titles include "Lucky Day", "Forever", "Do That Girl", "Missing On Highway 33", and "Bass Bottle Baby". © 1996-2015, Dusty Groove, Inc.
We realize that there are many different interpretations of the standard grades used for pre-owned vinyl record albums & CD, so we thought we'd offer you the ones that we are working with, so you have an idea what we mean when we give the grade for a non-new item on our pages.
Below are stated conditions for a used vinyl records at Dusty Groove. Grading for the cover should be assumed to be near (within a "+" or "-") the grading for the vinyl. If there is significant divergence from the condition of the vinyl, or specific flaws, these will be noted in the comments section of the item. However, please be aware that since the emphasis of this site is towards the music listener, our main concern is with the vinyl of any used item we sell. Additionally, please note that all of our records are graded visually; considering the volume of used vinyl we handle, it is impossible for us to listen to each record. If we spot any significant flaws, we make every attempt to listen through them and note how they play.
The following grading conditions apply to the vinyl component of an album or single:
If something is noteworthy, we try to note it in the comments — especially if it is an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the record. This might include, but isn't limited to, warped records, tracks that skip, cover damage or wear as noted above, or strictly cosmetic flaws.

Series: Saturday Science Links (20 entries)
The biggest science stories of the week are reviewed.

The biggest science stories of the week are reviewed.
Andy Crouch examines the life of a scientist based on his experience of walking alongside his wife Catherine, an experimental physicist. That relationship has shown him that a life in science is a journey "into a set of virtues," of cultivating a specific character suited to the particular demands of research and investigation. Crouch's hope is to persuade pastors and others in the church to prayerfully support the scientific endeavor as a reflection of God's image in humankind as well as offers some suggestions for ministering to their needs.
A common argument leveled against the theory of evolution is that scientists have not been able to produce transitional fossils that show the change of one species into another. In this podcast, we address a common misconception about what transitional fossils actually are.
In this series, James Kidder provides an intriguing study on transitional fossils and the evolutionary history of modern humans. He begins by discussing the fossil record, explaining how new forms are classified. He then explains the physically distinguishing trait of humankind—bipedalism. From the discovery of Ardipithecus, the earliest known hominin, to the australopithecines, the most prolific hominin, Kidder focuses on the discovery, the anatomy, and the interpretation of these ancestral remains.
If we can understand the experiences of the people who work every day in the lab, our dialogues concerning science and religion will be far more fruitful.
As an Evangelical and a scientist, Katharine Hayhoe is already a member of a rare breed. As a climate change researcher who is also married to an evangelical Christian pastor, she is nearly one of a kind.
We find no compelling evidence that the earth's geological features can be explained by a global Flood. Here we consider three lines of evidence: global salt deposits, the order of deposition of sediment layers in the Grand Canyon, and the sequence of fossils in geological strata.
This BioLogos videocast addresses the age of recently discovered hominid fossils and how scientists are able to obtain those dates.
In recent decades, scientists have discovered more about the beginnings of humanity. The fossil record shows a gradual transition over 5 million years ago from chimpanzee-size creatures to hominids with larger brains who walked on two legs. Later hominids used fire and stone tools and had brains as large as modern humans. Fossils of homo sapiens in east Africa date back nearly 200,000 years. Humans developed hearths for fire, stone points for spears and arrows, and cave paintings by 30,000 years ago. By 10,000 years ago, humans had spread throughout the globe. Genetic studies support the same picture. Humans share more DNA with chimpanzees than with any other animal, suggesting that humans and chimps share a relatively recent common ancestor. Also, the same defective genes appear in both humans and chimps, at the same locations in the genome—an observation difficult to explain except by common ancestry. Genetics also tells us that the human population today descended from more than two people. Evolution happens not to individuals but to populations, and the amount of genetic diversity in the gene pool today suggests that the human population was never smaller than several thousand individuals. Yet all humans, of all races, are descended from this group. Humanity is one family.
I am a Christian. I believe that God is the ultimate reality and that the world, including me, was created by God. But this is not just an idle affirmation, a faith statement to be recited in church on Sunday.
Many people use the words "dominion" and "subdue" as "unconditional permission to use the world as they please." I came to realize, like many, that such an interpretation is contradicted by the rest of the Bible.
In this brief series (taken from a 2009 paper), Jennifer Wiseman uses an excerpt from the famous hymn "How Great Thou Art," to explain why the study of God's creation can lead Christ's followers into meaningful worship and overcome the obstacles which impede true praise. Creation as encountered through our senses is pondered by our minds, which flows into wonder-filled songs from the soul. She further explains how knowledge of creation will help Christians to address the moral dilemmas of science, and she encourages all to see the process of scientific inquiry as a means to discover God's truth.
If evolution is true, whales are related to the even-toed hoofed mammals, and there should be transitional fossil forms dating from about 45 to 50 million years ago.
Critics of evolution sometimes portray the theory as an untestable historical conjecture, depicting it as fundamentally different from experimental science in the lab. But the hunt for the earliest tetrapods was an effort to test a hypothesis that had generated a prediction.
Many evolutionary critics have identified the Cambrian Explosion as a stumbling block to the theory of evolution, arguing that the "expected transitions between major invertebrate phyla are absent, and that the suddenness of their appearance in the fossil record demonstrates that evolutionary explanations are not viable." Keith Miller argues that the Cambrian Explosion is not so problematic as these opponents claim after all.
I became a scientist because over and over, when I was a child, a teenager, and a college student, I experienced the sheer delight that comes with understanding the amazing physical mechanisms that are at work in our universe.
Interestingly, I find this sort of cynicism about climate change especially prevalent among Christians. Why is this?
I am a fan of the blog "Jesus Creed." Recently it published an interesting post about the transition from fins to limbs as evidenced by fossils of an organism trapped in sediment 375 million years ago.
I recently read some published sermons by the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. The depth and breadth of his eloquent defense of truth and justice are profoundly inspiring. My favorite of his sermons begins with a verse from Matthew: "Be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves."
The Language of God combines Collins's faith and experiences as a genetics researcher with discussions of science and spirituality.

Queen Bee, upside down, but still floating three-and-a-half years and 3,500 nautical miles later
Regulator retrieved
During that case, the Coast Guard responded to reports of two men who had been ejected from the vessel Queen Bee while attempting to cross a bar in 6 to 8-foot sea conditions.
Both crew, Scott Douglas and Rich St Pierre, were able to swim to the nearby Esther Island and were provided first aid upon recovery.
Regulator Nantucket
'Three things popped out after we got hit,' said Douglas, the vessel owner and operator. 'Rich, me, and that bag. There were times when both of us didn't think we were going to make it,' he said, 'Everything had to go our way. It was a miracle.'
Due to the dangerous sea state, the vessel was left to drift once the men were rescued and nothing was seen of it again - until last week, when the second miracle surfaced, the Queen Bee, admittedly upside down but still floating after three-and-a-half years.
Regulator identified by its registration number
'From there it would have headed east to Spain before being located 1,241 days later, after a 3,500 nautical mile trip.'
Referring to the boat's extended voyage, Dr. Don Murphy with the U.S. Coast Guard's International Ice Patrol said that such a trans-Atlantic drift is rare, but not unheard of.
The Coast Guard deploys data collection buoys designed to track, study, and report currents in the northern Atlantic, said Murphy. Those buoys have been recovered anywhere from regions north of Scotland to, most recently and coincidentally, Spain.

Adrian Blewitt was named UALR's head soccer coach in December 2012, and he was immediately tasked with turning around a struggling program. In his first year with the Trojans, that turnaround was in full swing.
UALR doubled its win total from 2012 to 2013, reaching the Sun Belt Conference Tournament for the first time since 2009. Junior Ariel Galletti was named to the All-Sun Belt First Team, and the Trojans scored five more goals while allowing 41 fewer goals from their opposition. The rebuilding continues with a new crop of talent incoming for the 2014 season.
In 16 years as a head coach, Blewitt led his teams to appearances in the Sweet 16 and Elite Eight of the NCAA Tournament and six conference championships, and he has won four conference or region Coach of the Year honors. On three separate occasions, Blewitt's teams have finished the year ranked in the top 10 nationally.
Blewitt compiled a 167-66-12 overall record as a head men's and women's soccer coach at NCAA Division II schools Lees-McRae College and Lenoir-Rhyne University, including a 36-5-3 mark in his final two seasons as head coach at Lenoir-Rhyne. After one year at UALR, his career record stands at 171-80-12.
Blewitt's coaching experience includes seven years at Lenoir-Rhyne University (2005-11), including the last five as the head women's soccer coach.
In 2011, Blewitt led Lenoir-Rhyne to a 17-3-1 overall record, a South Atlantic Conference Regular Season Championship and a Sweet 16 appearance in the 2011 NCAA Division II Tournament. In 2010, the Bears went 19-2-2, won the South Atlantic Conference regular season and tournament titles, advanced to the Elite Eight round of the NCAA Division II Tournament and ended the year ranked No. 8 in the nation. Blewitt was named the South Atlantic Conference Coach of the Year in both 2010 and 2011.
Blewitt also served as Lenoir-Rhyne's head men's soccer coach from 2005-08, and led the 2006 Bears to a South Atlantic Conference Championship, an Appalachian Regional Championship and a Sweet 16 Appearance in the NCAA Division II Tournament. The 2006 Bears finished the year with a 19-1-1 overall record and a No. 5 national ranking, while Blewitt took home Coach of the Year honors for both the South Atlantic Conference and the NSCAA Appalachian Region.
From 2002-05 at Lees-McRae College, Blewitt led the Bobcats to back-to-back Carolina-Virginia Athletics Conference Championships (now known as Conference Carolinas) and coached two-time All-American and New England Revolution player Khano Smith.
As the head men's soccer coach at Division III member Methodist College (now Methodist University) from 1997-02, Blewitt won 34 games and led the Monarchs to a top-25 national ranking in 2001.
A four-year standout and two-year team captain at Lock Haven University, Blewitt was a four-time All-Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference selection (1990-93) and was named the league's Defensive MVP in 1993. Blewitt helped the Bald Eagles to back-to-back PSAC Championships in 1990 and 1991, as well as an appearance in the Elite Eight round of the 1992 NCAA Division II Tournament.
Over his career, Blewitt has coached five NCAA Division II All-Americans, four conference Players of the Year and four Freshmen of the Year winners.
Blewitt earned his bachelor's degree in health and physical education in 1994 and his master's degree in liberal arts in 1996, both from Lock Haven University.
Blewitt is a member of numerous athletic groups and organizations, including the National Soccer Coaches of America Association, United States Soccer Federation, North Carolina Olympic Development Staff, Virginia State Olympic Development Program and the Association of Football Coaches and Teachers.
A native of Grimsby, England, Blewitt and his wife Tamara have one daughter, JoElle.

Julia Gillard – gone by next Wednesday
I'll call it now. The tap on the shoulder has finally come for Prime Minister Julia Gillard. She will be out of the job by Wednesday next and second-time-around Prime Minister Kevin Rudd will face one day of parliamentary sittings as leader before the long spring break. Roll on September 14 2013.
The Northern Myth has it from solid Labor sources that Prime Minister Julia Gillard has been tapped on the shoulder today and will leave office next Wednesday, March 20.
While the timing at first appears curious – why wait five days? – a quick glance at the Parliamentary sitting calendar shows that this would give her replacement – tipped to be Kevin Rudd – just one day of Parliament before the long break through to budget sittings in mid-May.
So Rudd would have one day to make his mark and appear on TV screens from question time, without facing weeks of parliamentary scrutiny and glee from the Coalition.
And there is an ironic twist in the tale.
When Kevin Rudd was rolled by Julia Gillard on 24 June 2010, she had a single day of uproarious glory in the Parliament before the long winter/spring break through to late August.
Social media has been ablaze this week with talk of a spill and of Gillard being tapped by a delegation of senior Labor figures, rumours that were until recently denied.
Gillard has been in an election-losing position in the opinion polls for some time and her decision to name the election day (September 14) precipitated a series of events which have not helped her attempt to hold onto power.
Her recent attack on alleged rorting of the 457 visa program has prompted some criticism from within Labor.
Many political experts think Labor powerbrokers would not force a spill on Gillard, so the only way the crown would pass to another is if she agrees to step down.

… and if these "sources" are wrong, again, will you right a grovelling apology to us and the Prime Minister for wasting our time?
Her recent attack on alleged rorting of the 457 visa program has prompted some criticism from within Labor
Care to outline them?
Social media has been ablaze this week with talk of a spill and of Gillard being tapped by a delegation of senior Labor figures, rumours that were until recently denied.
Which tells us something about your "sources".
*sigh* I meant "write", obviously.
Well. That's quite a claim. The Ides of March indeed. I'm sad, but I think it needs to happen.
We have to put up with hearing this crap from Crikey blogs as well now? :groan:
What utter shit. If there is no change in the leadership by next week – sack this idiot.
I'm curious as to whether Bob will eat his shorts if this does not come to pass…
Bugler – have done so in the past and happy to do so again. I call it as my sources tell it and they are strong. I'm getting feedback from others along similar lines.
JerryKan – if you don't like it …
jennatilz mckrackin – I'll take that as a comment.
Pete – My shorts are inedible. I have a nice selection of hats though.
Given Gillard took out Rudd in a week that started with an updated edition of her Australian Story, maybe we should look at what they're doing Monday… The rise and fall and rise and fall of Punter. Hmmmmm.
If your sources are correct, then I suspect Labor deserves to lose for being so narcisistic. If they are federal Labor MPs then perhaps they need to consider that it just may be that this constant comment dripping to journalists is precisely what lies at the heart of most of their problems, not the specific DNA code of their leader. Take this for example:
However people now have stopped listening to what she has to say. More importantly the rest of the party is pre-occupied fighting allegation about leadership rather than going out to talk with people.
Well, if you didn't write stupid articles like this, Mr Shadow Minister, giving credit to stupid articles over the years that they frankly don't deserve, then it wouldn't be a problem. You could do better than to engage in this.
If this was to eventuate, you would hope that a so-called third candidate would not emerge. That would spell disaster
Maybe my call wasn't so far out there after all:
Peter van Onselen in The Oz today: "THE numbers inside Labor's federal partyroom are now such that Julia Gillard couldn't call a spill to end leadership speculation even if she wanted to.
Doing so would see Kevin Rudd secure enough votes to return to the prime ministership, albeit narrowly. Or the Prime Minister's victory would be so small as to cripple her leadership even further, dividing a warring party more than it already is.
This is why nearly every Labor MP I have spoken to in the past week believes something must happen next week when parliament resumes. Rudd supporters need to find their Kevin Andrews to force a spill of the leadership."
ok here is the 'deal' – any time a journo or columnist or whoever claims a leadership challenge, spill or change, & its turns out to be false, then the person making the claim must donate $1000 to a chartity. If this 'deal' was introduced 2 years ago there would be some very rich charities.
Actually Bob, if PVOs article is correct then you are wrong. Your call is that Gillard has already been tapped and has agreed to go. PVO is saying the opposite. He is saying a spill could lead to a Rudd win or a Gillard win and she is too frightened to do anything. The other bit of his piece is that this nonsense will continue up to the election and past it. A direct contradiction of your "call".
get rid of this sneaky lil red headed mop of a prime minister. i for one would welcome kevster with open arms carn kev
I hope not – we need her to face the next election so we can all have the pleasure of voting her out!
Schtang Schtang is on the money.
I had suggested another scheme earlier where, via a statutory body, stupid was fined and excellence rewarded as a revenue neutral way to save journalism.
But the charity idea better. How much money would $1000 per "Gillard Gorn again", it must be millions by now.
Sorry Bob – we've heard this bullshit so many times now. The boy crying wolf prable doesn't hold a candle to this rot.
And if not Rudd, the new one would be Penny Wong as a compromise candidate, or isn't poor little Australia ready for one yet ?
Whoever; Abbott won't stack up against them, so he'll be replaced by.. Turnbull (well, who else ??).It would be an odd feeling to again see leaders with brains and some level of trustworthiness.
Love to see PM Conroy, wouldn't ya
Got any other crap you'd like to share with us?… Bob….Bob….Bob….bob…bob???
Caucus has finished, JG still PM.
Imagine if any other profession was as wrong as "journalists" – or their "sources"
"You, sir, have ovarian cancer!"
"But I keep telling you, doctor, I'm a man"Oh well, next Wednesday then .. GORN fer sure
How is your 'prediction' going Bob ?
Running out of time…..
Dear Bob, I know it's only 2.30 pm on Wed here on the east coast….But there's a distinct lack of knives sticking out of the Prime Minister's back right now.
Indeed, she's looking quite healthy. (Perhaps even a little "feisty" during question time in Parliament today.)So I'll just pop that crow pie in the oven for you. OK?
3.30 now and still no sign….maybe its the friday?….yes thatll be the one
Bugger me backwards, I'm such a silly dilly
I had posted my last thinking yesterday was indeed today, Wednesday, not when I had posted it, yesterday, as it turns out a Tuesday, of all days.
I'm confused a little, these days all end in y
As does all days with yet another federal ALP leadership speculation prediction end.
It's Thursday and nothing has happened.
Bob Gosford displays his journalistic "talent".
Not bad Bob, only one day out and only because Gillard wouldn't call a spill!
Fair cop Bob. While you missed by a day….It looks like *I'll* be enjoying that delicious pie. Cheers.
Bad call Bob.
Time to front and man up that you were just blowing your own trumpet.
Dave – as someone said elsewhere – I may have been wrong but I was closer than anyone else. Your ordure welcome. My trumpet remains resolutely unblown!
"I was closer than anyone else. Your ordure welcome."
No, you weren't.
There were plenty (such as Mark Latham) who said that Rudd never had the numbers.
Do you actually get paid for this?
Crap you were closer than you thought.
You were exactly like every other clown with a 'source' who believed the inflated numbers that source claimed there were.
Again – not for the first time the numbers turned out to be exaggerated but you believed them again.
And you'll believe your source again next week won't you, because you're a cutting edge journo who's only currency is access to some 'sources'.

I tried to do Cascade deleting in two of my colums. If I deleted in First List record i wated deleted all records at Secound List bounded with records from List One. I adding bounded data first in Items Adding. But if I adding in ItemsAdding the last element of adding items are not exist Could I add him in Items Added element. Only one column with bounded record to delete cascade all bounded data.

Of course it can be done with Item Receiver but i dont understand if that's eaxctly your requirement then why dont you use lookup column with cascade delete? Anyway write your code in ItemDeleting, you must have some relation ship between columns to delete them, say you have included ID column of first list as relationship (you can say foreign key) in second list column "RefID" then in event receiver write a CAML query to "RefID" retrieve item from the second list with "RefID"=Deleting item ID, and delete those records |

Sydney-based Premier Media Group, operators of FOX Sports in Australia, has installed three LEX graphics systems, two DynaCrawl independent, dual-ticker/time/temp/logo data display channels and a C-Mix multilayer digital video mixer, all supplied by Chyron.
The Chyron systems are being used in FOX Sport's three studios for news, magazine shows and live production. FOX is using one LEX for sophisticated graphics on its 24/7 channel and both DynaCrawl systems for continuous ticker information displays. The network also uses Lyric offline software to prepare Chyron graphics at the start of a season or new show, allowing operators to arrange off site, but still at the desktop, without using a LEX system full time.

Rules of Attraction (Mass Market Paperbound)
The Rules of Enticement:
A woman should never surrender to a man without knowing his intentions. A man should never seduce a woman for the purposes of revenge.
Rules of Society
After nine years, Hannah Setterington has decided tosell the Distinguished Academy of Governesses and explore the secrets of her past. To that end she has agreed to be a companion to the elderly aunt of Lord Raeburn, a man enshrouded by dark mystery and haunted by the rumor that he murdered his wife. A strong-minded woman accustomed to the vagaries of nobility, Hannah believes the rumor to be so much piffle, until she comes face to face with Lord Raeburn.
Rules of Fascination
Dougald Pippard, Lord Raeburn, is deviously satisfied when his plan to trap Hannah springs itself successfully. But his satisfaction is short-lived as the indomitable Hannah draws the battle lines and kisses him with the pent-up passion Dougald hasn't felt for nine long years. The fire that has always flared between them rages again with every touch, every glance, until Dougald is almost ready to forget his wounded memories and plans of revenge for just one more night with her.
Rules of Attraction.

Acting on a lead from a sting operation by a TV channel, the Satyanarapuram police in a late night raid on Wednesday on a distant education college in the city busted a fake certificate racket.
Satyanarayanapuram Police Station SHO Prasada Rao said that Md. Basha was running a college by name 'M.K. Gandhi College of Distance Education' located opposite Raj Theatre in Gandhinagar for the last two years and was allegedly issuing fake certificates. The incident came to light when Basha accidentally called up the reporter of the channel from a data bank to promote his institution. On enquiry, it was revealed that both the college, and the certificates issued were fake.
Exact replicas
The college was issuing fake certificates for SSC and Intermediate, which exactly resembled the SSC Board and Intermediate Board certificates. And for degree and post graduate courses, the certificates issued replicated the originals from CMJ University, Meghalaya.
Sodisetty Ramesh, who was one of the victims and who filed the first complaint with the police, informed The Hindu that for SSC certificate they were charging Rs.12,000 and for Intermediate the rate was Rs.18,000. For any degree it varied between Rs.35,000 and Rs.40,000 and for PG it was Rs.45,000. "They charged special rate of Rs.50,000 for an MBA certificate," said Mr. Ramesh.
The SHO said that the entire operation was cleverly disguised. "They issued some study material and even issued hall tickets and conducted examinations to make it look authentic. But the certificates were fake as they were printed on executive bond papers, replicating the original," he said.

Massage therapists in particular are prone to delusions of grandeur that they can feel (palpate1) things in flesh that ordinary mortals cannot. I had an instructor in massage therapy college2 who promised the class that we would learn to detect "a grain of sand through a telephone book, and a hand on the other side of a wall." A website promises you'll have "x-ray" hands (and be pain-free!) after just thirty days of practicing hair-feeling.3 In the flakier regions of the world of massage, the palpation pretension often blends smoothly with an earnest belief in "energy fields" and extrasensory perception. When that teacher spoke of detecting hands through walls, she was talking about picking up on auras and such, not infrared radiation or vibrations. Jedi palpation tricks!4
Knowledge of anatomy, and skill in feeling it, is real and valuable. I can't feel a grain of sand through a wall, but after years of practice I certainly can find your infraspinatus muscle. In the dark, in about three seconds. Through a thick towel. However, therapists do often fool themselves into thinking they are feeling things under their hands that are not actually there, or things that might be there but cannot possibly be detected with any reliability. They do this because of pride, ideological zeal, good intentions, wishful thinking, and active imaginations.
This is palpatory pareidolia. Illusions can be tactile as well as visual.
Pareidolia is a type of illusion or broken perception in which a vague or obscure stimulus — i.e. subtle textures under your skin — is perceived as if it was actually clear and distinct. It is both a source of illusion, as well as our impressive and useful ability to make meaning out of glimpses and shreds of sensation. Pareidolia is:
Religious pareidolia examples are so common and culturally significant through history that they have their own name: simulcra. They can seem quite neurologically glitchy.5 In the last few decades, a lot of religious feelings have been transplanted from organized religion into disorganized spirituality and alternative medicine, resulting in many striking similarities between Jesus freaks and new age flakes.
Early in my career as a massage therapist, I encountered my first dramatic example of this, while I was setting up a small office with a colleague. Fresh out of school, I was not yet much of a critical thinker, and was initially charmed and unalarmed by her ideological zeal for alternative medicine. However, our deal fell apart as her susceptibility to delusion became clear: she was wringing spiritual significance out of nearly everything. I remember feeling the first chill of deep concern when we were on the street and she spent a few minutes explaining to me how a glimpse of an advertisement on a bus was a "bad omen" for our business plans. I killed the deal when she "saw" an evil pattern in the numbers on our new office door, and demanded that we move to another office.
See what I mean by "glitchy"? It was inevitable that she would inject such bizarre interpretations into her clinical interactions! What "omens" would she have detected in your tissues?
For every glaring case of irrationality like this, there are many less obvious examples. It's not a matter of opinion that the brain is easily confused: pareidolia is a fascinating richly neurological phenomenon, the product of a number of well-known cognitive and sensory distortions, and it has many familiar cousins. Many illusions are highly repeatable.6
We are talented at perceiving what we want and expect to see. Over-interpreted perception has always been a big problem for empiricism. The brain is just fantastically good at making up patterns and filling in blanks … and palpation in a therapeutic context provides some rich opportunities for it. It is responsible for who-knows-how-many declarations of "tightness," for instance. Here are several other candidates for illusory palpations, all common in massage therapy (and chiropractic, and osteopathy, and so on).
In each case, the alleged phenomenon may or may not be a real thing, while the perception remains plagued by false positives. For instance, cerebrospinal fluid is certainly real, and it does indeed circulate! But no therapist can actually detect that rhythm reliably; if they could, it would nearly be worthy of Randi's million-dollar prize, and I'd bet against it in a fair test as confidently as I would bet against dowsing or astrology. Fascial restrictions may well be real, and some may even be quite easy to feel, but many alleged detections are certainly wrong (and I'm skeptical that finding them matters).
While listening to my favourite new podcast, Caustic Soda, I came across a fascinating historical example of the pareidolia phenomenon dialed up to 11: the N-rays debacle. In fact, it may be one of the biggest pareidolia bloopers in history. Joe Fulgham tells the story well, and you should listen to the episode.
In a nutshell, in 1903 a French scientist, Blondlot, got himself worked up over a new form of radiation. He was certain he could see it. He couldn't. It was 100% wishful thinking. But this kind of mistake happens all the time in science and life.
What really amplifies the example is that so many other scientists jumped on the bandwagon and eagerly shared Blondlot's delusion. That is a bit more unusual in science, specifically because science defines itself as a profession that carefully checks its facts. Fortunately, the N-ray delusion did not last long, because many other scientists called foul from the start. The "immune system" of science attacked the disease, and N-rays were destroyed.
But the story shows that pareidolia is powerful, and no one is safe. It actually does happen to the best of us. The measure of an intellect (or a profession) is not immunity to pareidolia, but the having the humility and savvy to doubt your own perceptions.
…people informed of the biases and pitfalls of their unconscious brains are better at using their conscious minds to overrule them.
— book review in The Economist, of Subliminal: How Your Unconscious Mind Rules Your Behaviour, by Leonard Mlodinow
An imperfect but adequate recent study showed that massage therapists, rather disappointingly, could not even identify the side of the body that back or neck pain was on by feel alone7 — despite our legendary reputation for zeroing in on tissue problems with uncanny accuracy. Maigne et al tested two (presumably expert) examiners to see if they could detect the painful side by feeling for tension in the spinal muscles. In almost two hundred patients, they identified the correct side of 65% of lower back pain and 59% of neck pain — only slightly better than chance.
An odd anomaly occurred in the difference between the left and right side: the examiners were more accurate on the right side with back pain, but better on the left side with neck pain.
The results are obviously underwhelming. Although they did a little better than just guessing, the results suggest that it's difficult even for expert examiners to detect the location of neck and back pain by feel. As well, they were only attempting to detect the side of pain — kind of the palpation equivalent of hitting the broad side of a barn in target practice. Expert examiners barely passed the easiest possible test, and probably would have failed a harder one.Imagine how much worse their performance would have been if they had had to identify the location more precisely, or if the pain could have been anywhere or nowhere. So they barely passed the easiest possible test, and probably would have failed a harder one and done no better than guessing.
An obvious weakness of the study is that only two therapists were tested, and so the results are inconclusive. One would still hope for a better detection, though, even from less skilled therapists.
And so what? Ironically, this was actually an understandable and unimportant failure. The ability to detect the painful side by feel alone is difficult for reasons that make sense, and are consistent with what we actually know about how neck and back pain work — namely, they don't cause obvious, consistent changes in tissue texture and they correlate poorly (really barely at all) with obvious structural problems. Detection of nonexistent, subtle and unreliable signs is not actually an important diagnostic skill.
But I'm afraid it all does rather fly in the face of the popular mythology that therapists can zero in on tissue problems with uncanny accuracy.
This article is about how difficult it is for human beings to accurately perceive tissue textures that may be subtle, fleeting and deeply buried. But it turns out we can't even get the most obvious things right: not even when they pulsate powerfully right underneath the skin, all day, every day, always in exactly the same spot.
My mother is a fitness instructor in downtown Vancouver. She upgrades her first aid skills every year, and every year the methods and best practices change a little. In 2012, she learned that taking a carotid pulse was out! Obsolete. Kaput. Why? The explanation is a bit shocking.
People can't find it. (Sort of. I'm exaggerating a little for effect — but only a little.8)
Most people simply cannot reliably find a pulse, and — this is important — even after being taught. We're not talking about random people on the street, but people who have had first aid training, possibly even regular first aid training. So St. John's Ambulance has dropped it from their training.
I shouldn't have been surprised by that, but I was. Humans apparently aren't very good at much of anything without a bunch of practice and related knowledge, and even the simplest things in medicine can really stump people.
Massage therapists do have exceptionally extensive sensory experience with soft tissue. Just because perception is difficult doesn't mean people can't get good at it — amazingly good, like the blind reading with their fingertips, or a blindfolded painter who can tell you what type of paint you've dipped her brush in. Perhaps some of the most experienced therapists know muscle texture like that. The reality of palpatory pareidolia does not mean that people cannot still accomplish sensory marvels.
However, even that does not make us immune to error, nor can can we know what most subtle textures mean, even when we perceive them accurately. It's not practical, clinical knowledge. Pretending otherwise is too common, and it is the thin edge of a wedge of arrogance.
Palpation is not unreliable art, not a science, and manual therapists and patients should be aware of this and cautious about making or believing any claim based on it.

About the Wine Guy
Greetings fellow wine lovers!
I'm a lifetime resident of Washington whose interest in wines began in the early 1980's as Northwest wines began their rise in popularity. I've traveled extensively to wineries in the Pacific Northwest and Eastern British Columbia and attended a number of wine festivals – including the Tri-Cities Wine Festival in Eastern Washington for the last 29 years.
I am currently in my 15th year as writer of a weekly wine column that appears every Tuesday in The Bellingham Herald and also a past contributor to Whatcom Magazine.
I began teaching wine classes at Bellingham Technical College in 2004. Classes generally average two to three hours once a month on Saturday afternoons. Be sure to check the Page titled Wine Classes for current information. These have been well received and are a perfect opportunity to meet with me and get some hands-on training about wines.
Most everyone I've met in the wine industry has been eager to share their experiences as well as their wine, which makes my job a lot easier. There is a lot of good, quality wine being produced in the Pacific Northwest, so get out there and start tasting!
My philosophies about wine: Drink what you like, don't be afraid to share with others what you taste and above all…have fun!

Ayurveda, literally, "the science of life," is the ancient system of promoting health and rejuvenation with natural herbs and minerals that began over 3000 years ago, with the legend of the great sage, Dhanwantari. As he sat in meditation in the midst of a forest, Nature revealed the curative and therapeutic properties of each tree, plant, herb, root, mineral and flower to him. These beneficial links between the vegetable, mineral and human worlds were documented and passed down through the centuries in a science that promotes bodily, psychological and spiritual health through the cultivation of a conscious, healthy diet and lifestyle. The practice of Ayurveda aims at a harmonious balance of Nature's three subtle energies, the doshas: vata, pitta and kapha, which are present in all life and matter and represent the key to maintaining and recovering a total well-being.Aromatherapy Incense Lavender 12 Packs 10 Each Pack

10 Things You Should Know About Dungeness Crab, Currently In Season
Feb 27, 2013 10:01 am
West Coast delicacy popping up on menus everywhere
The Dungeness crab is the undisputed king of the West Coast, found in chilly Pacific Ocean waters and driving fishing town economies throughout California, Oregon and Washington. The six-legged crustacean is a popular foodstuff while in season, a period that begins in early December and generally runs through the spring. While the most basic method of cooking the crabs involves boiling them live in salt water and eating them by cracking the shell and breaking off the legs and claws, more complex and creative preparations have become commonplace in restaurants throughout the country. Here are eight things to keep in mind during Dungeness season.
10. The crab was named after a small fishing village in Washington State and has been commercially harvested since the 1880s.
9. It has a slightly sweeter flavor than snow and king crabs, and generally does not possess an ocean scent.
8. The crabs are caught in traps called "pots," baited with herring, squid and razor clams. The average boat fishes 250-300 pots in depths ranging from 30-300 feet.
7. Seafood Watch has given the crab a sustainable seafood rating of 'Best Choice.'
6. Citing its importance to the state's economy, the Oregon State Legislature named the Dungeness crab as the state crustacean in 2009. Only two other states, Maryland (blue crab) and Louisiana (freshwater crayfish), have designated state shellfish.
5. The official Oregon Dungeness crab season opens annually on December 1. This year's harvest was delayed multiple times, until December 31, due to poor quality control tests. Typically, about one-quarter of the crab's weight is meat.
4. The 2012-2013 season opened with a record-tying $2.30 per pound pricing. Last year, 14.2 million total pounds were harvested at a record high of $2.95 per pound. Annual harvesting along the entire Pacific Coast ranges from 35-55 million pounds.
3. The San Francisco Giants created an "anti-mascot" in 1984, with fans encouraged to boo and hiss at Crazy Crab, which was based on the Dungeness crab. Fans and players alike got really into it, hurling both insults and objects at the phony mascot, all the way to a miserable 96-loss season.
2. There was a sighting of a Dungeness crab in the Atlantic Ocean in 2006, raising concerns about possible dangers to local wildlife. Scientists hypothesize that it may have been purchased from a live seafood market and released.

1. You can buy Dungeness crab right on Amazon or from the Seattle Fish Company. But your best bet is to book a late-winter trip to San Francisco, Porland, Seattle or points in-between.

Watch 4 True Grit ClipsBy Josh Tyler 2010-12-10 14:27:58 comments
The Coen Brothers remake of True Grit is fast piling up critical acclaim. With a few weeks to go till its release, expect to see a lot more. Though the original movie version of this tale earned John Wayne an Oscar, the truth is that aside from Waynes performance that take on True Grit left a lot to be desired. If youre going to remake something, why not remake something that could clearly be made better, and True Grit can definitely be done better. It looks like the Coen Brothers have done just that.
We have four new clips from the Coens take on True Grit. In them youll get a taste for the flavor of all the movies main characters. Mattie Ross (Hailee Steinfeld), the determined teenage girl. Rooster Cogburn (Jeff Bridges), the dedicated, one-eyed drunk and all around badass. LaBoeuf (Matt Damon), the dandy Texas Ranger. And Tom Chaney (Josh Brolin), the man theyd all like to see dead. Watch: For more on True Grit, check out our early review right here. Back to top

Students raise funds with Pennies for Pets
The Rider High School National Honor Society will be going door to door from 10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Saturday for its eighth annual Pennies for Pets fundraiser.All money collected will be donated to the Humane Society of Wichita County and the Preventing Euthanasia Through Sterilization (PETS) Spay and Neuter Clinic.
"We're going to be going door to door and asking for any donations people are willing to give," said Lauren Schreffler, vice president of publicity for Rider NHS. "We're just trying to do what we can to help the animals."
Each group member will wear a Rider NHS T-shirt and a name tag while collecting donations.
In the past two years, the NHS has donated more than $47,000 from the event. The group collected more than $20,000 last year alone.
About 100 students will split into small groups and visit as many Wichita Falls neighborhoods as possible. Checks, cash and change will all be accepted, Schreffler said.
Because of the economy and the tragedy in Japan, the NHS hopes to meet a goal of $20,000 but knows that every little bit counts, she said.
Rider NHS members are required to complete a yearly community service project. Many NHS members are passionate about the cause.
"We're just trying to raise as much money as we can so not as many animals are put to sleep," Schreffler said. "It's ridiculous how many animals are put to sleep every year in shelters."

An end effector based on the Bernoulli principle for handling sliced fruit and vegetables
Davis, ST, Gray, JO and Caldwell, DG 2008, 'An end effector based on the Bernoulli principle for handling sliced fruit and vegetables' , Robotics and Computer-Integrated Manufacturing, 24 (2) , pp. 249-257.
Full text not available from this repository. (Request a copy)Abstract
This paper describes the design and testing of a gripper developed for the handling of delicate sliced fruit and vegetable products commonly found in the food industry. The device operates on the Bernoulli principle whereby air flow over the surface of an object generates a lift. The gripper allows objects to be lifted with minimal contact thereby reducing the chances of damaging or contaminating the object. The paper will describe the mathematical basis of the gripper operation followed by tests showing the nature of the grasp. As a secondary benefit it will be shown that the flow of air over the object can also be used to remove surface moisture produced during slicing. This drying effect is a feature particularly useful in some areas of food production. The paper will show a test manufacturing cell demonstrating the placement of slices of tomatoes and cucumber on to sandwiches.

Social networking sites are all the rage. And no one seems to know them better than the country's youth. Now this year, thanks to a contest sponsored by the state's securities division, high school seniors across Tennessee have a chance to earn money by writing about the topic they have achieved a certain degree of expertise in.
The Caryville Police Department responded to a disturbance call last Saturday, resulting in an arrest for auto burglary and assaulting an officer.
Caryville Officer Ben Marlow located a male subject waving down vehicles on Bruce Gap Road around 10:50 p.m., according to the arrest report.

Campbell County Property Transfers Aug. 30 – Nov. 3
Larry Nidiffer and Sue Ellen Nidiffer to Matthew S. Ogden and Candace S. Ogden, Dist. 3, $128,000. Paul Jackson and Wilma Jackson to Sherri S. Powell, Dist. 3, $132,500. James B. Sharp and James E. Sharp to David Ray Madron and Jamie Kim Madron, Dist. 1, $9,300.
The proposed promotion of three officers took a turn for the worst at the LaFollette Council workshop this week. Officers William Owens, Joe Brown and Jason Marlow have been working in the capacity of sergeants and were recommended for a salary increase of $1,500 per person to match their responsibilities. "We can only work them so long without compensation for that," said acting City Administrator Cade Sexton.
Last week a contingency of Campbell County commissioners traveled to Nashville for an orientation program for newly elected officials. In addition to the 15 commissioners who won seats in the Aug. 5 elections two others were also in attendance at the two-day conference. Despite having lost their bids for re-election former commissioners Lynn Letner and David G. Young made the trip to the state's capital. Once back, they filed expense reimbursement requests with the county.
After several months of conversations and meetings, the Jellico Board of Mayor and Aldermen have approved the 2010-11 fiscal year budget in a special call meeting last week. While the conversations between the mayor and aldermen have led to a decision to lower property taxes, they have in fact increased taxes without notification, according to Campbell County Property Assessor Brandon Partin.
The lower courtroom looked more like a sea of humanity as a capacity crowd packed the courthouse on Tuesday afternoon. Family, friends and curious onlookers packed the pews and lined the walls to witness newly elected officials and their staff swear to uphold the duties of their offices.
The passenger of a car involved in a traffic stop found himself on the wrong side of the law last Thursday. When LaFollette Police Officer Michael Sandefur approached the Ford F250 truck to speak with the driver he observed Casey Lynn Lemar, 20, of 104 Highway 25W, allegedly quickly put something in the glove box and try to close it. Because the compartment did not close the officer was able to see a baggie containing a green leafy substance believed to be marijuana in plain sight.
Driving without a license led to a laundry list of charges for a LaFollette man last week. LaFollette Police Officer Michael Sandefur was on patrol when he observed Lawrence Anthony Lowe, 35, of 409 River Drive, driving north on Claiborne Road. Sandefur reported he initiated a traffic stop based on the knowledge that Lowe did not have a driver's license.
A local man is asking the county to compensate him for an injury he allegedly sustained at one of the area convenience centers. In a suit filed last Tuesday in circuit court Carlos Gross, through his attorney David Dunaway, alleges that while he was visiting the convenience center building located near Vasper he "suddenly and unexpectedly encountered a hidden and defective condition" that caused a fall that left him with "serious and disabling injuries" to his left foot.

Weezi was started in 1989 with a love of vintage and retro clothing. I have always been inspired by the looks of the 40's, 50's & 60's. I enjoy the silouettes & femininity of the those times. My designs are influenced by these looks and images that really embrace the female form. I like to mix and match vintage patterns with my own designs and create modern garments for gals who like to have a vintage flare. Many Weezi pieces are one of kind or in limited editions to ensure your Weezi item is unique unto you. All Weezi items are handmade in Canada. I hope you enjoy going thru my web site and will be inspired by what you see.
If you have any questions please feel to ask. Please note: At this time, I am not accepting custom orders due to time restraints. ***
I think it is important to add that I don't promote fashion assimilation or a generaric way of dressing. I think "big box" or "factory farmed" fashion is just dull and wrong. My philosophy is simple: A woman should dress to enhnace who she is and reflect her personality. and she should not to be a slave to trends. ***
Lastly- there are certain demands and issues in this modern world we live in. I feel that is important to be aware of the impact we make thru our purchasing descions both as a consumer and as a designer.
Even though I consider myself to be a "Vintage Inspired" designer I should also be a responsible designer and creater of things. Re-using and recycling fabrics and other items not only allows me to be respectful of my community and the enviroment but also allows me turn the old into something new & fresh.

The major attraction is Hartwall's 50% share of Russia's leading brewer BBH. S&N has been relatively weak in high-growth emerging markets, but its recent acquisitions including Hartwall are changing the situation. As a result, the rumored three-way merger between S&N, SAB and Miller is looking increasingly unlikely.
In this month's roundup of novel drinks industry launches, the personalization trend once again takes center stage with the introduction of a new powdered drink that allows consumers to blend individual flavors according to their own taste. In packaging news, novelty musical Christmas tins have arrived for the tea category, while butterscotch flavor "beer" for children is also hitting the shelves.
A new "water enhancer" that can be used to turn any conventional beverage into an energy drink is the innovation that headlines this month's rundown of novel launches from the drinks industry. Other developments to feature include a selection of innovative flavors for the dairy drink market, and a surprising melding of alcoholic drinks and cupcakes.

Islanders women face a must-win situation
That could be how the Texas A&M-Corpus Christi women's basketball team bows out of the top tier of the Southland Conference. The Islanders have two shots remaining to beat upper-echelon conference teams, or else it's the middle of the pack.
The first chance is at 4 today when A&M-Corpus Christi meets Texas-Arlington at Texas Hall, the theater and basketball court rolled into one. A road game against elite conference team Stephen F. Austin will follow in 11 days.
UTA has lived up to the billing as the conference's top team, going unbeaten in 12 conference games. Unfortunately for the Islanders, they, too, have matched preseason expectations.
The team groused when picked fourth in the West Division during the preseason. Right now, that pick is spot on, as A&M-Corpus Christi dropped back a bit more when Texas State beat the Islanders Thursday.
After being tied with Texas State and Stephen F. Austin in the loss column, A&M-Corpus Christi is perilously close to being entrenched in fourth, or even being bypassed by fifth-place Texas-San Antonio.
"This is not where I thought we would be," Islanders coach Robert Robinson said. "I thought maybe we would sneak up on one or two. We've beaten the teams we were supposed to beat, and lost to the ones we're supposed to lose to. That's played out just like the preseason rankings."
A&M-Corpus Christi players realize they have botched shots at establishing a foothold among the conference's elite. Yet the players remain optimistic about facing the Mavericks, a team they lost to by 15 at home earlier in the season.
"UTA is a pretty good team, and we have a few losses," Islanders forward Jill Duffey said. "But we know if we play our game, we can beat them.
"We came out flat (against Texas State) and that has killed us all season. It was for placing and seeding, and a whole bunch of circumstances were riding on that game. We can't dwell on that. We have to look forward. This is a game we need to win."
Now, to pull off a huge road upset, A&M-Corpus Christi needs to get accustomed to the most unique facility in the Southland. Texas Hall can double as a theater or a basketball gym, with the court literally on a stage.
There is an area for the crowd to sit, with seating arranged as if it were for a play. Seats, isles, rows, plush chairs, all the theater comforts are there.
There also is a stage curtain at one end of the court that actually makes the view easier for shooters.
Still, the Islanders won't be able to see the set-up until today. Their shoot-around Friday was held in another facility on the UTA campus.
"We'll try to get around there (this morning)," Robinson said. "It is a totally different environment. That's home-court advantage. The nice thing about it, though, is it is a shooter's gym. Hopefully the kids will take that to heart and feel confident. The curtains at the end really help."
There are plenty on the team familiar with UTA and the area. Robinson was a student-assistant on the men's basketball team for three seasons, and later served two years as an assistant for the women's team at his alma mater.
A&M-Corpus Christi assistant Kim Dowell also is a UTA alum, and served as a Mavs assistant coach for five seasons.
Duffey is from Fort Worth, and said she expected plenty of family and friends to be in the crowd. She also expects the possibility of celebrating with them.
"It's exciting. It's near the hometown and there will be a lot of fan support here," Duffey said, and added after a slight pause, "as well as a possible victory."
