- How specific is synchronous neuronal firing? : Poster presentation (2007)
- Background Synchronous neuronal firing has been discussed as a potential neuronal code. For testing first, if synchronous firing exists, second if it is modulated by the behaviour, and third if it is not by chance, a large set of tools has been developed. However, to test whether synchronous neuronal firing is really involved in information processing one needs a direct comparison of the amount of synchronous firing for different factors like experimental or behavioural conditions. To this end we present an extended version of a previously published method NeuroXidence [1], which tests, based on a bi- and multivariate test design, whether the amount of synchronous firing above the chance level is different for different factors.
- Zero-lag long-range synchronization of Hodgkin-Huxley neurons is enhanced by dynamical relaying : poster presentation (2007)
- Background The synchrony hypothesis postulates that precise temporal synchronization of different pools of neurons conveys information that is not contained in their firing rates. The synchrony hypothesis had been supported by experimental findings demonstrating that millisecond precise synchrony of neuronal oscillations across well separated brain regions plays an essential role in visual perception and other higher cognitive tasks [1]. Albeit, more evidence is being accumulated in favour of its role as a binding mechanism of distributed neural responses, the physical and anatomical substrate for such a dynamic and precise synchrony, especially zero-lag even in the presence of non-negligible delays, remains unclear. Here we propose a simple network motif that naturally accounts for zero-lag synchronization for a wide range of temporal delays [3]. We demonstrate that zero-lag synchronization between two distant neurons or neural populations can be achieved by relaying the dynamics via a third mediating single neuron or population. Methods We simulated the dynamics of two Hodgkin-Huxley neurons that interact with each other via an intermediate third neuron. The synaptic coupling was mediated through alpha-functions. Individual temporal delays of the arrival of pre-synaptic potentials were modelled by a gamma distribution. The strength of the synchronization and the phase-difference between each individual pairs were derived by cross-correlation of the membrane potentials. Results In the regular spiking regime the two outer neurons consistently synchronize with zero phase lag irrespective of the initial conditions. This robust zero-lag synchronization naturally arises as a consequence of the relay and redistribution of the dynamics performed by the central neuron. This result is independent on whether the coupling is excitatory or inhibitory and can be maintained for arbitrarily long time delays (see Fig. 1). Conclusion We have presented a simple and extremely robust network motif able to account for the isochronous synchronization of distant neural elements in a natural way. As opposed to other possible mechanisms of neural synchronization, neither inhibitory coupling, gap junctions nor precise tuning of morphological parameters are required to obtain zero-lag synchronized neuronal oscillation.

Sometimes a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do. You know what I mean? I am the kind of person who is often discombobulated, missing dates and deadlines, forgetting those teeny tiny obligations I have committed myself to. I am often flustered and flummoxed, running out of time, down to the last second as I attempt to reorganize my day and jump into something that I should have attacked and taken care of ages ago. My life, albeit like so many others', is cluttered, confusing and complicated, a life spread out between two apartments as it is squashed between demands of family, career and renovation, leaving me unorganized at best, distracted at worst. * sigh *
I used to bake bread once a week, several times a month, bringing pleasure to my family while faithfully keeping up with the various bread baking events in the food blogosphere: Bread Baking Day, Yeastspotting, Bread Baking Babes and Buddies. And then life got in the way. (which I find a truly inexplicable aphorism.) And I allowed myself to be distracted. And I bake bread less often. How easy it is for me, living in France with a boulangerie on every corner filled to the gills with gorgeous bread, baguettes and boules, brioche and miches, seeded and plain, studded with lardons and dusted with cheese, straight, square, twisted or braided, to have a constant flow of bread at my fingertips with no more effort than it takes to slip on a coat and skip around the corner. I simply do not need to bake bread, whether savory or sweet. And how my French family is hooked on bread! A meal just isn't a meal without that loaf, long and thin or round and plump. Bread and cheese rounds off every meal, often simply taking the place of dessert. Bread and cheese accompanied by a piece of fruit or two is, for every Frenchman, the perfect ending to any meal. Or a meal in itself. So each morning, we dash to our favorite bakery, breathe in the heavenly odor of just-baked bread, the tang of yeast biting into the soft, sweet air. And we make our choice, whichever strikes us, tempts us that particular day. And we break off the end, the bit of rounded crust, as we run home again, popping it into our mouth, fresh and warm, satisfied with a job well done, this ritual of French life.
But Monday, I popped into the Bread Baking Babes & Buddies Facebook group page to see what the girls were up to, to admire their work, and lo and behold, horror of horrors, I realized that it was World Bread Day. Bread, as I have before stated, is manna from heaven, a daily need, a necessary part of our life. Basic, simple, flour, yeast and water, maybe salt and sugar, and the most wonderful of textures, tastes, smells wraps around us and fills us with joy. From there, create a masterpiece on the tabula rasa that is dough: savory or sweet, filled, rolled or topped; sliced and spread, smeared, piled high with mountains of creamy, gooey, spicy, salty, fruity, smoky whatever you love; sandwich it, bagel or rye, Challah or biscuit, bread as plate, fork, spoon or knife to be enjoyed, marveled at, savored inside or out. Schoolyard treat, picnic mainstay, center of a meal, bread is the be all and end all, the nec plus ultra, both the anchor and the backbone of any meal, any cuisine.
So I brushed off my desk, folded up the laptop, pushed my work to one side and walked right into that kitchen to bake. How could I not pay homage to bread, to share the love and vaunt the importance of this necessary part of our daily lives?
For this special day, for World Bread Day, the BBB Kitchen of the Month, our hostess Tanna of My Kitchen in Half Cups has chosen the stunning Russian Rose bread, adapted from a recipe found on The Fresh Loaf. The dough is so quick and easy to put together, a one-bowl recipe with only a quick knead necessary. Allow to rise, roll very thin into a large rectangle, fill with almost any filling, savory or sweet, roll jellyroll style, slice into to pieces lengthwise and, with the two cut sides up, twist, roll and voilà a Russian Rose. It is as easy as that.
I chose to fill mine with pesto. I then grated on extra Parmesan cheese and sprinkled on a couple of handfuls of pine nuts before rolling, slicing, twisting and allowing a second rise. Glazed and topped with a bit more grated cheese and pine nuts, the baked bread was not only gorgeous but dense and flavorful with pesto and the light crunch of pine nuts. And the family loved it! A perfect bread to serve with a salad or a bowl of soup and then to nibble on throughout the day. Thank you, Tanna, for a marvelously easy, fast and stunningly delicious bread.
Happy World Bread Day. Enjoy!
Thanks to Zorra of Kochtopf for allowing the Babes and Buddies to participate in World Bread Day as a group.
I would like to share this bread with Susan of Wild Yeast for Yeastspotting.
With the ground flaxseeds and pine nuts, this bread is perfect for October's Twelve Loaves challenge Sometimes I feel like a nut… a seed or a grain! Twelve Loaves is a monthly baking challenge I run with Barb of Creative Culinary and Lora of Cake Duchess.
A magnificent bread under 4 hours!
For recipe details and extra tips, please visit Tanna's post here. All changes and additions are my own.
For the dough:
600 g (21 oz) flour (I used 200 g/7 oz bread flour + 400 g/14 oz French all-purpose flour)
2-3 tablespoons ground flax seeds or wheat germ or a combo (I used 3 Tbs Linwood's finely ground Flaxseed + Gogi Berries)
2 1/2 tsp dry yeast (Fresh Yeast 28g/1oz)
10 g (0.35oz) sugar
10g (0.35oz) salt
50 ml (1.7 fl oz/ ¼ cup) olive oil or vegetable oil considering replacing canola with olive oil & part butter
1 tablespoon white vinegar (I used cider vinegar)
300 ml (10 fl oz/1 ¼ cups) warm water + more as needed
Egg wash (1 egg beaten with 1 tsp cold water)
For the filling:
190 g (6.7 oz) pesto, homemade or good quality jarred
Parmesan cheese
Pine nuts
Smoked paprika, optional
Place a 26cm (10-inch) springform (ring only, no bottom) onto a piece of parchment paper and place on top of a baking sheet. Set aside.
Place all of the dough ingredients except the water in a large mixing bowl. Add the tepid water gradually as you start mixing (I used a wooden spoon). Add as much water as needed until all of the dry ingredients are moistened and pull together into a dough. If in doubt, add a little too much water for a slightly wet dough; a dough too dry is much more difficult to correct once you begin kneading. Scrape the dough out onto a floured work surface and knead for about 5 or 6 minutes until the dough is supple and not sticky to the touch, kneading in more flour as necessary. When the dough is ready, spray or rub a bowl with oil and gently put the dough in the bowl, turning to coat the dough all over with oil; cover the bowl with plastic wrap and then a clean kitchen towel. Let rise for about 80%, for about 40 minutes to an hour.
Lightly flour your work surface. Flatten the dough gently with your hands and turn out onto the work surface. Roll the dough into a large triangle as thin as you can using a floured rolling pin. When rolling out the dough, try not to lift and move it too much. You can try and gently pull the dough to stretch it thin like a Strudel dough.
Apply a thin layer of the filling – here, pesto - evenly all over the dough but leaving a clean filling-free ¼-inch edge all around. Dust lightly with extra Parmesan if desired then sprinkle a handful or two of pine nuts evenly over the filling.
Brush a light coating of egg wash on the bottom edge closest to you for sealing. Slowly, tightly and very gently roll the dough from the top towards you into a roulade as for a jellyroll (watch the video for this). Once rolled, carefully press the seam to seal. You will now have a very long roulade or log. Roll the log back and forth to even out the thickness. Once you have your very long roulade even and well sealed, carefully roll the turn the roulade seam down.
Take a sharp chef's knife (not a serrated knife) and cut (not saw) off the two ends to even and then slice the roulade lengthwise from one end to the other, trying to keep the knife in the middle so you end up with two equal parts.
Turn the cut sides of the two halves face upwards then cross one length over the other in the center, forming an X. Starting from the center where the two lengths cross, gently but tightly twist the two pieces together. Going back to the center and working center out, twist the two loose ends together. You will now have one long twisted two-strand rope. Gently pinch the ends to seal.
Slowly and very gently, roll the braid into a snail, as tight as possible without squeezing or deforming the layers; the open roulade layers should remain facing up. Pinch the end delicately and tuck under. The end result should look like a giant snail shell or a very large cinnamon bun. Very carefully, lift the loaf and place in the center of the springform ring on the parchment paper.
Cover with plastic wrap and the clean kitchen towel. Let the loaf rise until the braid is not quite doubles, about 40 minutes to an hour.
Brush any dough not covered with pesto or filling lightly with egg wash. Dust the top of the loaf lightly with more Parmesan and more pine nuts and then dust lightly with the smoke paprika.
Preheat the oven to 410°F (210°C).
Once risen, bake in the preheated oven at 410°F (210°C) for 10 minutes, then decrease the oven temperature to 355°F (180°C) and bake for another 25 – 35 minutes. The dough should be slightly risen and golden brown. The crust should sound hollow when tapped and there should be some spring when pressed.
Remove from the oven onto a cooling rack and lift off the ring around the loaf. Allow to cool before slicing and eating.

Sonny, Thank You!
August 7, 2008. Posted by Angelika Beener.Add new comment | Filed under: Jazz Alive
OK. One of the highlights of my live-performance-attending-life happened last night. I got to see the man himself, saxophone colossus, tenor titan - Sonny Rollins! Sonny is one of my all-time favorite tenor players, and this was my FIRST time actually seeing him live. It was really an experience. I love seeing all my favorites perform but this had a different thing to it. Well...because he's Sonny. His body of work, what he means to the history of this music, his contribution as an inventor, a trailblazer and artist...all that. Growing up, my mom would play "Tenor Madness" incessantly. And she and my step-dad would have very interesting debates about who "won" the tenor madness battle. Sonny or the newer kid on the block - John Coltrane. My mom always voted Trane and my stepdad would say "are you crazy?" listen to Sonny's toooone. They would trade lines, singing what they thought supported their vote and well...it was a lot of fun to watch. I always voted Trane myself, being the Trane-junkie I am. But I gotta tell you...one day, I picked those traded solos apart bit by bit for a whole afternoon and well...I really gained a new appreciation for Sonny. My appreciation for Trane was instant and almost innate. But Sonny...it took some maturing for me to really get it like I got it now. I always LOVED Sonny's playing, but there was something about living a little more life, and then listening to Sonny that made me appreciate him so much more. But that was my introduction to the artist that would become such a staple in my life (and CD rotation). Next was the Way Out West recording. I wore that OUT! One of my favorite vamps of all time is his on "I'm an Old Cowhand." So pretty.
But I digress :)
Seeing Sonny yesterday was somewhat surreal. Sonny represents an era; a moment in history that very few artists can demostrate with just their presence alone, like he can. He opened the show with a calypso-feel tune, and was just so warm toward the audience and his band and was clearly having a lot of fun. Then it happened. I was standing at the edge of the stage with my camera, and he walked RIGHT up to me, bent down toward me and posed for my camera (the photo above - that's the one!) Almost like saying "hello!" with his horn. Man...that was a feeling.
He performed his classics like "St. Thomas" and "In a Sentimental Mood" (Yes, when he recorded the Duke Ellington classic, he definitely made it his own). But he also performed newer originals. When he went into "St. Thomas," I thought, "the show's over?" Tisk, tisk...how very cliche of me. I should have known that Sonny wasn't going out so predictably. He played another hour, LOL! He played this one tune that had this dope backbeat...not your typical "I'm a jazz musician playing a back-beat now." No, this had some different stuff sprinkled on it. Almost how I would imagine Tony Williams' version of a back beat...a little behind the beat...a little gritty. And I was thinking man, Sonny is so hip. He's so current, past and future. That's what makes Sonny the man. Well, one of the things. All I can say is "Sonny, thank you." You made my night, and gave me a memory that is one for the books.

Altvater: Masters is easiest major championship to winWritten by Fred Altvater | | email@example.com
You have heard the prognosticators drone on and on about the favorites to win the 2014 Masters. Perhaps 20-25 men in the field this week at Augusta National have a realistic chance to win the tournament.
The other side of the equation is there are several in the field this week that do not.
History has shown that first-time participants in the Masters do not normally win. Harris English, Patrick Reed, Jordan Spieth, Kevin Stadler and Jimmy Walker all have PGA Tour wins, but are playing in their first Masters.
English from the University of Georgia and Reed from Augusta State are both familiar with Augusta National having played it on numerous occasions while in college. Stadler's father was the Masters champion in 1982, but Kevin was only 2 years old at the time.
Eighteen professionals plus six amateurs will be playing for the first time this week — a Masters record. If history can be used to predict future results, these are 24 names that can be deducted from the field of 97 of possible winners this week.
Of the remaining 73 professional golfers, 25-28 are battling injury or their game is just not in the proper place right now to be a factor in the tournament. That leaves only approximately 45 golfers who have any chance to win this week.
If rookies have a disadvantage, veterans should have an advantage over the bulk of the field. Past champions have already experienced the intense pressure of the final round and may have a slight advantage.
There are 19 past champions in the field of the 2014 Masters, 10 of whom are over the age of 50: Fred Couples, Bernhard Langer, Ben Crenshaw, Tom Watson, Larry Mize, Sandy Lyle, Mark O'Meara, Ian Woosnam, Vijay Singh and Craig Stadler. Of this group possibly Couples or Langer have a remote chance of finding the leaderboard on Sunday.
Miguel Angel Jimenez is another player over the age of 50 who qualified for the tournament, but will find it difficult to score on Augusta National. In 14 previous Masters' appearances he only has three top-10 finishes and none in the past five years.
Major championships are simply not won by men over the age of 50.
Subtract another nine players from the 45 veterans and 36 possible winners remain.
Another fact is that very few players win the Masters after the age of 40. Jack Nicklaus and a couple others are the exception to this rule, but probably only 44-year-old Phil Mickelson and 2009 Masters Champion, Angel Cabrera, who is now also 44 years old, have a chance to win this year.
Thomas Bjorn, Darren Clarke, Ernie Els, Lee Westwood, Mike Weir, Steve Stricker and Jose Maria Olazabal are all over the age of 40.
Although Clarke and Els have won Open Championships while in their 40s, one would not expect that to happen at Augusta this week.
Westwood and Stricker both have a hole in their impressive resumes and would love to win at least one major championship before they put away their clubs.
Els has won two U.S. Opens and two Open Championships, but is still looking for the elusive green jacket.
Fitness plays a role at Augusta National. It is extremely hilly and a very tough walk. For older players, just traversing the grounds for four days takes a toll on feet, ankles, legs and backs.
Of the nine 40-somethings, possibly two have a real shot of winning. Subtract another seven from 36 and you are left with 29 golfers that have a reasonable chance of donning the green jacket on Sunday evening.
Justin Rose, Jason Day, Phil Mickelson and Hunter Mahan have been dealing with nagging injuries throughout the early part of 2014. The question becomes are they healthy enough to compete this week?
Long hitters like Adam Scott, Rory McIlroy, Dustin Johnson and Bubba Watson may have an advantage this year because of the trees that were lost to the ice storms that hit the south late in the winter.
Few defending champions have succeeded wining in consecutive years, Scott will try to join that exclusive club. McIlroy struggled here in 2011 and is looking to add his third major title to his resume. Johnson has been very close on three other occasions to winning a major championship and Watson won here in 2012.
Driving lanes and landing areas have been essentially widened which will allow these bombers to exploit their huge advantage off the tee box.
If the course returns to the firm, fast conditions that are expected former winners Zach Johnson, Charl Schwartzel and Louis Oosthuizen may have an advantage due to their knowledge and experience.
A firm golf course could also help short-game gurus Luke Donald and Brandt Snedeker get their first major win.
The other major championships, the U.S. Open, the Open Championship and the PGA Championship all have 144-man fields and require a stringent qualification process to gain entry. The players performing the best at the moment are in the field and there are a larger number of players to beat.
Once you subtract all of the noncontenders from the field in the 2014 Masters only a handful of participants actually have a realistic chance to win. That is the reason we see the big names at the top of the leaderboard every year on Sunday afternoon as the leaders make the turn and head to the back nine.
Augusta National offers a perfect setting for a major championship. Its history and traditions are unquestioned, but it is the easiest major championship to win.

Football has been very, very good to us.
Even though 2013 & 2014 was a losing season's, we can console ourselves with this fact-

1-Chicago, St. Louis, Tampa Bay, Indianapolis, New Orleans, Seattle
2-Washington, Green Bay, Denver, Pittsburgh, Baltimore
3-San Francisco, Dallas
4-New York Giants!!! & NE
Let's make it 5 in 2015 so we can be on a LINE all by ourselves again!!!
***Stat provided by "Schloss22"***
2014 season
23 rushes for 255yards 3td
39 pancake blocks
50 tackles 3 sacks (3 td saving tackles including final tackle as time expired to clinch win, hit of the game 9/14 & 10/26 )
9-0-1 record///// invited to play in tiny mite bowl and beat the team we tied in regular season
youtube (youth football Iselin Giants and look for video that's 4 mins 19sec)
I dont like the thought that the cowboys or skins cant win out...obviously both cant because they play each other...but im going to make believe that one of them win out so we have to win out..... just win... get in!
I just played with ESPN's playoff machine:
Week 15:
NYG beats ATlanta
Cowboys beat Steelers
Redskins beat Browns
Chicago beats Packers
Patriots beat 49ers
Seattle wins or loses doesn't matter I tried both ways
#1 seed = Falcons
#2 seed = Giants
Week 16:
Falcons beat Bills
Green Bay beats Titans
Eagles beat Skins
Ravens beat Giants
Chicago beats Cardinals
Seahawks beat 49ers
#1seed = Falcons
#2 seed = Seahawks
Giants are out
Week 17:
Falcons beat Bucs
Bears beat Lions
Vikings beat Green Bay
Giants beat Eagles
Skins beat Cowboys
49ers beat Cardinals
Seahawks beat Rams
#1 seed = Falcons

Hello All - I haven't been on in a couple of years. Had my second daughter, she was healthy, c-section, only 11 days early and nursed like a champ. A VERY, VERY different experience than my first DD, born at 36 weeks with some NICU time.
The reason I am posting is my DD preemie has asthma and allergies and seems to be always on antibiotics. She is now five years old and I think antibiotics make her act out of character. She becomes very defiant and does things that are unpredictable with a change in her personality. I have had one of her caregivers agree with me and she too has witnessed this strange behavior. I am constantly brushed off by the medical community. I am just wondering if anyone else has experienced this???

Mahler Symphony no.8 Harper/Popp/Auger/Minton/Watt 4757521
. . . itżs difficult to hear this and not be swept away . . .
. . . captured in excellent analogue sound . . . [Solti] was able more than most, I think, to conjure up the excitement of a live performance in a studio recording, and this recording is no exception . . . after all these years it is a pleasure to welcome this old friend as part of an initial release as 24/96 flac (or wma). The sound-stage is clearer, instruments delineated, and ambience far more discrete . . . the performance retains its five-star and star-studded status . . . fizzing energy.
This performance is still hailed as something of a benchmark -- spine-tingling and electrifying.

Public Invited to Name Middleton Place's First Spring Lamb
On Monday, Feb. 18, the Middleton Place Stableyards were blessed with the first lamb of the season. The little lamb is thriving, but desperately needs a name. The Middleton Place Foundation invites the public to submit suggestions for what we should call the little guy, and then vote on their favorite. The Name the Lamb Contest provides two ways to win tickets to Middleton Place.
A few rules apply. First, the lamb is male, which will grow up to be a ram, so masculine names are encouraged. Second, the lamb's mother's name is Winter, and his grandmother's name is Noel, so preference will be given to names related to the winter season. Third, while voting by the public will weigh heavily in the process, the final decision on the name of the lamb will be made by Middleton Place staff.
The contest will be conducted in two parts. Name submissions can be made by commenting on the Middleton Place weblog on the "Name the Lamb Contest" page (www.middletonplace.org/blog/name-thelamb), or in person at the Middleton Place Visitors Center. Submissions will be accepted until 3 p.m., Thursday, Feb. 28. Middleton Place staff will pick their favorite from the suggested names, and the person who submitted the name will win two passes for free admission to Middleton Place.*
At 11 a.m. on Friday, March 1, the top three suggested names will be posted in a survey on the Middleton Place Facebook page (www.facebook.com/MiddletonPlaceFndtn). The public will be allowed to vote for their favorite through the weekend (ending at 5 p.m. Sunday, March 3). All voters will be entered into a pool, and a winner will be picked at random to take home two passes for free admission to Middleton Place.
The winning name will be announced at noon on Monday, March 4 on the Middleton Place Facebook page.
The Gardens, House Museum and Plantation Stableyards at Middleton Place are owned and operated by the Middleton Place Foundation, a 501-c-(3) not-for-profit trust established in 1974, that also manages the Edmondston-Alston House Museum at 21 East Battery in downtown Charleston. The Foundation's mission is to sustain the highest levels of preservation and interpretation for the National Historic Landmark, rich in classical and romantic garden design, horticulture and history. For additional information, call (843) 556-6020, or go to www.middletonplace.org.
*If more than one person suggested the name, the winner will be chosen at random.

A fun toyMy 5.5 year old son got this for Christmas from Santa and he loves it! His 4 year old sister enjoys it too. Be aware that it is a little difficult to put together when you are attaching the horizontal platforms to the vertical frames. Also, the package of spacemen arrived separately from the rocket in a smaller package -- be sure not to open it in front of kids if the toy is a surprise.
Awesome spaceship!My boys love aliens and spaceships. They even watch Star-Trek with their dad! After I ordered this, I was real surprised to find it was made of solid wood. I was expecting plastic! They spend tons of time playing with the astronauts and aliens that it comes with. The ship is huge; it even has an elevator to go up and down! They really thought of everything with this ship!

My great-uncle Vasil was the eldest of my great-grandparents' eleven children and the father of ten himself. His mother, Maria Tegze, had the money in the family. She was tightfisted with her children, but generous to the priest in Berezovo.
Vasil was married with a growing family while his youngest brothers and sisters were still at home. He went to his mother and complained that his younger brother Mikula didn't even have shoes that fit and that his own children were growing rapidly. She was giving too much to the Church when her own family needed help.
When Maria sent him packing he went to the priest to complain. The priest, not surprisingly, felt his mother was perfectly entitled to give him money, and didn't seem too concerned about the shoes. Vasil came back later, firebombed the church, and the priest left town - quickly. No one knew whether the children got new shoes.
Our cousins in Europe had a very different 20th century. Wars, Stalin and the domination of the Soviet Union took their toll. The stories they told emphasized family loyalty, cunning and a lack of respect for authority. Looked at from those perspectives the different family stories made complete sense.
The wife of Géza Thegze, a priest in Vyshni Bystryi (Felsöbisztra), was attacked with a knife, and their house set on fire by unknown arsonists four times![1]

Kensley Brown paced the Lady Hounds with a 45. Charli Justice shot 47, and Kaitlyn Hemstreet 55.

Love this stuff
Frasier Fir - I love this outdoor feel I get just from the Scent - Everyone who uses the soap or lotion asks where to get it
Was this review helpful?
Yes No
No refills
Yes I love the fragrance, but not providing soap refills means the company expects you to buy another soap dispenser (terrible waste never mind the cost) every time you run out.
Frasier Fir
Anything Frasier Fir from Thymes is worth the money.....
Love the fragrance of Frasier fir
I love the smells of this hand soap and lotion. I also buy your dish washing liquid in the frasier fir fragrance. Makes me want to wash dishes by hand instead of using the dishwasher.
Purchased for a gift
I cannot comment on the contents, yet, since I bought it for a Christmas gift. But, it is a beauty of a gift, and judging by what I have already used from Thymes, I anticipate it will be a welcome gift.

Paddlewheel Steamboats Return to Illinois

Botswana is a large, arid country in which water is a limited resource and is central to the country's development. It was thus not surprising that the Government of Botswana was concerned that their water resources were being degraded. Initiated in 2001, the Botswana National Master Plan for Wastewater and Sanitation was commissioned to provide the necessary planning and direction with regard to the country's water supply. Aurecon formed part of the joint venture responsible for this significant task and provided all technical inputs to the project, including the assessment of existing works, future planning and the compilation of the Planning and Design Manual.
After establishing the existing types of sanitation and wastewater facilities as well as the capacity of the treatment plants in the various centers, a State of the Nation report was compiled. Along with population data, this initial investigation was used as input for a maintenance and capital expenditure budget for the various cities, towns and districts. Social surveys then revealed the aspirations and requirements of all the communities in the country in order to identify acceptable technologies in both rural and urban situations.
All of the information gathered was then incorporated into a GIS system to ensure its availability at all times. To compliment this, a Planning and Design Manual was developed to guide Botswana's water industry and to ensure a uniform approach would be adopted by the participants.
The Botswana National Master Plan for Wastewater and Sanitation is a project that has continued to deliver multiple benefits to Botswana's citizens.

How to access iTunes Movies in the Cloud from your iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV
Movies in the Cloud is the latest addition to iTunes in the Cloud, the iCloud service that let's you re-download previously purchased iTunes content on your iPhone, iPod touch, iPad, and Mac or Windows PC. While apps, iBooks, music, and TV shows have been available for re-download for a while now, movies are brand new and seem to be causing some confusion, namely where they're available, how to access them, and how and when they work with digital copies.
Here's the deal...
Movies in the Cloud availability
As of now, it seems like Movies in the Cloud is only available in the U.S. TV Shows in the Cloud started off as U.S. only at first as well, and then later rapidly expanded to over a dozen other countries, so it's possible Movies in the Cloud will follow suit. It's also possible movie licensing deals are more complicated than TV and it will take a while. Either way, if you're not using a U.S. iTunes Store account, you won't have access to Movies in the Cloud.
Also, only movies purchased through iTunes are available for re-download.
Before we get into what iTunes Movies in the Cloud is, here's what it isn't.
Movies in the Cloud isn't home sharing
Home sharing lets you stream any movie in your Mac or Windows PC library to your iPhone, iPod touch, iPad, or Apple TV over your home Wi-Fi network. It doesn't care if you bought the movie on iTunes or ripped it from a DVD, transcoded it, and added it to your iTunes library.
Movies in the Cloud does. It will only show you movies that your bought through the iTunes store, using the same iTunes account that you're logged into on your device.
Movies in the cloud isn't part of iTunes Match
iTunes Match will scour your PC iTunes library, take note of all your music, and if it can find the same song on Apple's iTunes Catalog, provide you with a 256kbps copy you can re-download from any iOS, Mac, or Windows device.
The keyword there is music. iTunes will not match any other type of content for you.
If you have movies in your iTunes library that you didn't get through the iTunes Store, iTunes Match won't help you. You'll have to use Home Sharing (see above) or an app like Air Video to get to them.
Movies in the Cloud doesn't work with all Digital Copies
How and when Movies in the Cloud works with Digital Copies has been the source of some confusion. The non-simple answer is that it depends on how the company distributing the movie decided to provide a digital copy.
If you open up your Blu-Ray or DVD and the digital copy consists of an iTunes code to redeem an iTunes copy of the movie, you're golden. Just redeem your code and your digital copy should automagically show up in iTunes, and Movies in the Cloud will let you re-download it across all your devices for download.
If you're digital copy requires you to log in to some other kind of service to redeem your movie it may get a bit complicated. I recently bought a movie that made me download the Flixster software in order to play it. Needless to say I wasn't very happy about this. I purposely buy movies that have digital copies in order to be able to play them from all my devices and from iTunes. What am I supposed to do with a movie that I can't play without a player that isn't supported by anything else?
If you find yourself in this situation, it never hurts to contact the vendor and ask for an iTunes code instead. Some movie cases are very deceiving and don't give you very much information on the type of digital download they're giving you. If all else fails, just ask.
But the bottom line is, if you didn't get the Digital Copy through iTunes, you won't be able to re-downlown it through Movies in the Cloud.
Movies in the Cloud doesn't work for all movies
Apple doesn't have deals with all major film studies yet. That means certain movies from certain companies, such as Universal and 20th Century Fox, aren't currently available for re-download through Movies in the Cloud.
Some of this has to do with the "HBO window", some of it with old-school studio thinking. Apple, HBO, and the studios are apparently trying to work this out. In the meantime, when a movie is airing on HBO, it could disappear from Movies in the Cloud.
How to re-download movies on iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad
To re-download movies you've previously purchased from iTunes on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch:
- Launch the iTunes app.
- Tap the Purchased tab at the bottom (if you don't see it, tap the More tab and then check there).
- Tap Movies from the selection list.
- Tap on the iCloud icon beside any of your previously purchased movies to re-download.
How to stream movies to Apple TV
Because the Apple TV doesn't have much internal storage, it streams previously purchased movies instead of re-downloading and storing them on-device. To stream a movie to your Apple TV:
- Navigate to the Movies icon on the right and click on it.
- Navigate to the Purchased tab at the top and click on it.
- Scroll up or down to the movie you want to stream and click on it.
Movies in the Cloud is currently a great way for users to re-download some movies purchased from the U.S. iTunes Store to iPhones, iPod touches, and iPads, and stream them to the Apple TV.
It's not part of iTunes Match, it doesn't work for all movies from all studios, and it doesn't support Digital Copies unless they were acquired through an iTunes Store promo code, but hopefully some of those limitations will soon be things of the past.

How to access iTunes Movies in the Cloud from your iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV
To stream purchased content from iCloud (not your PC/Mac) without downloading it to your idevice, just like TV shows with Apple TV. Think Netflix model.
Once you start the download you can jump over to the Videos app and start the stream as it downloads. Just as with music.

i downloaded a film yesterday and now cant find it anywhere on my phone , how do i retreive it so i can watch it
I have movies that show up in iTunes for my iPad and iPhone Devices, but do not show up in the greater (parent) iTunes Movie Library. This is SO weird.
They are not currently sync'd to either my iPhone or iPad, and I want to remove them but cannot because: (1) they do not show up in my iTunes Movies Library nor in the file structure for movies. and (2) I cannot delete movies from the iPad and iPhone views within iTunes (3) nor can I find them on my hard drive via search. I MUST be missing something simple, right?

At the end of what seemed like a never ending battle to see who was going to be named to the Rattan School Board, Candidate Loyd Deaton once again took the majority of votes in the Tuesday, May 10, 2011 Re-Election. The final, but unofficial, vote totals were Loyd Deaton - 463 to Valerie Clay Merida - 433, a possible win of 30 votes. Totals will become official if nothing filed by 5:00 p.m. on Friday, May 13, 2011.
Voters who cast ballets at the Antlers City Library gave Deaton 12 votes and Merida 16; at the Catholic Church in Antlers and the Finley Community building no ballots were cast. The larger number of cast ballots were brought in at the Rattan School house with 278 going to Deaton and 262 going to Merida; voters who marked ballots at the Sobol Community Building preferred Merida over Deaton by voting 47 to 34; and at the Cloudy Community Building it seemed that voters were still torn as the votes were even 40 to 40. In absentee ballots for Pushmataha County 44 votes were for Merida and 40 votes were for Deaton. In absentee ballots for Choctaw County Deaton took 2 votes and Merida received 0. In Choctaw County Precinct 120319, Deaton received 49 votes and Merida snagged another 15; and in Choctaw County Precinct 120322 Deaton took 11 and Merida received 9.

On Tuesday the Dow broke through the all-time high it reached in October 2007. The S&P is now just 14 points below its own record.
The Labor Department reported that U.S. employers added 236,000 jobs last month and that the unemployment rate fell to 7.7 percent from 7.9 percent in January. That's far better than economists expected.

We are moving into a never occupied new condo. Our closing date is in the beginning of May. We have our mortgage commitment, we're already ready to close, etc., so we're just playing the waiting game at this point. We're not moving up our closing because we'd like to avoid paying a rent and mortgage as long as possible.
The sales office at our condo said they'd be calling us to schedule a final walk through. I think that typically people do their walk throughs right before they close. Given that there is no one in our place, is there any reason we couldn't or shouldn't do it sooner? I should mention that our inspection report came back almost flawless, so we're not waiting on or "inspecting" and major repairs. It was stuff like the refrigerator drawer does not close smoothly or adding a door stop.
There are so many reasons to wait... Someone could break in and trash the place, someone could switch out appliances or light fixtures, a storm could damage a window, etc. I know that these are highly unlikely situations but you just never know. I'd personally rather wait and be safe.
We do the final walk through a week before closing. So our walk through is the 11th and we close on the 17.
They are going to show us EVERYTHING about the house. Where the pipes go, how to operate the furnace, change filters, take apart window screens, water valves and such!
We also check to see if they haven't completed something or paint smears and droplets...they will then have a week to fix anything we see.
CatLawdy&:I would do it on the way to closing. For all you know a pipe may break two days before closing.
This is a great point! I think we will try yo schedule our final walk through as close to closing as possible. We are set to close on a Friday morning, if all goes according to plan, so maybe a Thursday night walk through would be best.

Gingrich and Blackburn against assault weapon ban
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) on Sunday dismissed the proposed assault weapon ban as a solution to the increasing gun violence in the country.
"The term assault weapon is propaganda," Gingrich said on CBS's "Face the Nation." "This is a serious question where we ought to look at the facts and not create propaganda."
Gingrich, a Georgia Republican and former presidential contender, also said that assault weapons are used in only small percentage of gun violence cases.
Blackburn repeatedly said the assault weapon ban would not solve the root of the problem and that mental health and violent video games should be looked at instead.
"You've got to look at what's actually causing the problem," Blackburn said. "Don't just go say, 'we're going to do an assault weapon ban and that's going to solve the problem.'"
"Why should a handful of law abiding citizens be compromised because of a handful who are not complying?," she asked.
Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), who proposed the ban last week, said earlier on the show that even though passing the ban would be an uphill climb, it could pass in Congress.
"I think I can get it passed because the American people are very much for it," she said.

August 5, 2015
A judge in Texas has sentenced one of the last two defendants convicted for helping disgraced financier R. Allen Stanford bilk investors out of more than $7 billion in one of the biggest Ponzi schemes in U.S. history.
Gilbert Lopez Jr., the ex-chief accounting officer for one of Stanford's companies, was sentenced to 20 years in prison during a hearing Thursday in Houston federal court.
Lopez's attorney says his client is remorseful for investor losses.
Another defendant, Mark Kuhrt, is set to be sentenced later Thursday.
Prosecutors say Lopez and Kuhrt helped hide Stanford's misuse of investor funds. Stanford was convicted last year on 13 fraud-related counts and sentenced to 110 years in prison.
Two other former executives with Stanford's now dismantled business empire were sentenced previously.

Tweed & Denim Applique Jacket 21 21
Love this unique jacket My sister bought this jacket and I immediately fell in love with its artsy look! It is true to size and looks great with jeans or khakis. So many colors, too, so just about any color top looks nice underneath. My only complaint is that the jacket is not washable, so for the value I had to only put 4 stars since I will have to take it to the cleaners and spend more for it in the long run. February 19, 2015
Busy jacket Jacket was well made, but very busy for my taste. I almost kept it, but would have needed to remove trim from the sleeves. Sleeves were also very long, so I would of had to shorten them as well. October 4, 2014
True to advertisement The colors are great and the jacket can be combined with so many outfits and save on packing more than one jacket! September 12, 2014
Love the details and the color mix. Will go with a lot of pants and skirts. Comfortable and great fit September 11, 2014
Disappointed When I received this jacket I was very pleased as it appeared to be very versitile and would go with a lot of outfits. I took it on a recent trip to the Adriatic and Italy and wore it several times. It now looks like it is a hundred years old. The demin continued to fray so there were constant strings hanging from the jacket. also the tweed fabric was of such poor quality that it pulled and pilled. I would not recommend this jacket, if you are going to wear it more than once or twice. December 6, 2013
Wonderful Jacket Comfortable and fun this goes great with denims or black. November 14, 2013
Great Jacket for autumn! Fit true to size. Good to wear with either black or blue denim. Hidden pockets are very roomy - was able to carry a small (8 oz.) water bottle easily! Doesn't wrinkle. Excellent addition to fall business casual wardrobe. October 25, 2013
Betts Haven't worn it yet but it fits well and love the different textures. Will stand out in any activity, travel and shopping. October 21, 2013

Reclaiming Design
In a recent book review published in Christian Century, BioLogos content manager Jim Stump endeavors to reclaim the word "design."
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
In a recent book review published in Christian Century, BioLogos content manager Jim Stump endeavors to reclaim the word "design."
Many arguments claiming to prove the existence of God have been proposed throughout the centuries. A popular argument is that, since all effects come from causes, there must have been a "first cause" that is outside the material world—an "uncaused cause". The response to many of these arguments, however, is: "If God created the world, what created God?
We need safe places in which to raise the complex issues of submitting wholeheartedly to the authority of God's Word in the Scriptures while wrestling with the important findings and perspectives in the natural sciences.
From 2012: The dictionaries I checked don't define the term, "theistic evolution," so I offer my own definition: the belief that God used the process of evolution to create living things, including humans.
From the archives: With From the Dust, it was our goal to help Christians see the complexity of the issues raised by modern science, as well as help them to courageously engage with the theological conversations happening within the sphere of Christian culture today.
Read about the death of Wolfhart Pannenberg, still debating creation and evolution, and a really big dinosaur discovery.
So what is BioLogos? Well it all began with a scientist and a book.
But what I heard on Sundays did not seem to fit with what I experienced of the world the rest of the week. Growing up in New Mexico in the cottonwood bosque of the Rio Grande valley provided everything for a kid to become a biologist. I roamed along the river, cooked over cottonwood fires, ate wild asparagus, watched clouds form thunderheads over the distant peaks of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains.
Musician Michael Gungor talks about the recent controversy over the evolution of his views on evolution, science, and biblical authority.
While I have known of many people who have been driven away from the Church by controversies related to evolution, I do not personally know of anyone who has embraced Christianity primarily because they were persuaded to reject evolution. While evolutionary theory can be used to support an atheistic explanation for how the world came to be, it does not require that perspective.
For Augustine, the literal sense of scripture is not a scientific narrative of physical reality, but a liturgical and poetic narrative of God's awesome power at the dawn of history. This is a vital thread in the story of how to read Genesis.
This week in origins news, a great collection of articles by key players in the conversation about theology and science, a surprising science fair discovery, and the Apollo 11 anniversary!
Everyone is so worried about success and getting this or that honorable diploma—the people here are smart and understand many complex things perfectly—but it's a long distance from the head to the heart.
Written by BioLogos Fellow of Biology Dennis Venema, this series of posts is intended as a basic introduction to the science of evolution for non-specialists.
Bethel was where I learned that the science that I loved could be a Christian calling. Before that I had a vague notion that truly serving God meant being a pastor or missionary. Here I learned that in every profession you can love God with heart and soul and mind and strength, studying God's world with your mind and caring for it with your hands.
This week in origins news: twists and turns in the evidence for cosmic inflation, a very clever computer, and more resources on the compatibility of science and faith.
While my work was not directly focused on evolution, the topic was everywhere around me, just as creationism was part of the culture of the South where I grew up. Confronted almost daily by my ignorance of the science of evolution, I decided to embark on a study. I was confident that if Christianity were true, it could withstand even the toughest questions.

Faculty Spotlight on Dr. Jack Vazzana
Faculty Spotlight
Dr. Jack Vazzana
IMAGE: Dr. Jack's photograph - Go to Hell
This month Kent State at East Liverpool Associate Professor Dr. Jack Vazzana's photography is being shown as part of the 2011 Association of Regional Campuses Conference. The show, which includes 20 of Vazzana's pieces, is titled "Metaphors of Obsession." According to Vazzana, the show emphasizes the repetitive cultural themes that are self perpetuated foremost in the American ethos.
Earlier this spring, two of his photographs were selected for The Water Tower exhibit, which is held every two years in Louisville, Kentucky. Sponsored by the Kentucky Arts Council and the National Endowment for the Arts, this juried show is highly competitive. Only 22 artists were accepted out of more than 200 applicants. His photographs, "Leaving "and "Go to Hell," which represent the contradictory nature of a contemporary woman, were selected.
IMAGE: Dr. Jack's photograph - Leaving
"She is both empowered and exploited simultaneously," Vazzana said of his photograph "Leaving." Both pieces were met with critical praise.
Vazzana began taking photos as a young child. His interest continued throughout his educational and professional career.
Originally from Pittsburgh, Penn., Vazzana was a student at Case Western Reserve before he entered the United States Army to serve in Korea. Following his service, Vazzana, a disabled veteran, continued his education at Duquesne University where he earned a bachelor's degree in psychology and a master's in sociology. While at Duquesne he was the assistant editor of the student newspaper. In this role, Vazzana created more than 40 cartoons titled "The Doors.," These are now archived at the university's Gumberg Library. Following his studies at Duquesne, Vazzana earned a Ph.D. in administration and policy studies from the University of Pittsburgh.
Vazzana began his teaching career at the Community College of Allegheny County before moving to Robert Morris University. In 1999, he joined the faculty of Kent State East Liverpool, where he teaches courses in sociology.
This fall, as part of shows held Kent State East Liverpool's Art Gallery, located in the Mary Patterson, Vazzana will display his photography show "Moments."

A classic little trick that's been at the top of the popularity list forever because it's SO EASY yet SO BAFFLING!
Place the little ball on top of the vase. Cover it with the cap, and instantly remove the cover to reveal- the ball has vanished! Just as quickly, as soon as you put the cover on the vase and take it off again- the ball has reappeared! Take the ball out of the vase, put the ball in your pocket, put the cap on the vase, lift the cap off- the ball has invisibly returned to the vase!
This is so easy, it practically works by itself! And you can repeat it immediately. If you can put the cap on the vase, you can do the trick!
A description of the Ball Vase principle appears in a French mathematics book published in 1693 by Jacques Ozanam.
