It's easy to see how the coffee cake got its name; it is a cake intended to be enjoyed with a cup of coffee.
Cakes have been around since ancient times, although early cakes were made with yeast and not baking powder, so they were more like bread and less like cake as we know it today. Coffee, which was first cultivated and traded on the Arabian Peninsula, made its way to Europe in the 17th Century, according to the National Coffee Association. By then, the bread-like cake of earlier times had changed into a lighter, sweeter concoction that often included nuts and fruits, and the pairing of coffee and cake became a popular way to enjoy both.
Today coffee cake is usually thought of as a yellow cake with a streusel or crumb topping, but many cultures and nationalities bake and savor their own versions of coffee cake. For example, German coffee cake (as well as many other types of coffee cake) usually has a swirl of cinnamon, sugar, and nuts throughout the cake instead of on top. French coffee cake is sometimes baked in a loaf pan, while Mexican coffee cake is drizzled with melted butter. Many coffee cakes include a spoonful of coffee – either dry or liquid – as one of the ingredients.
One of the great things about coffee cake is that there is no "right" time to enjoy it. Coffee cake is versatile enough to eat for breakfast and sweet enough to stand in as a dessert. It makes a great in-between meals snack as well.
Today is National Coffee Cake Day. It's time to pull out the mixing bowls, measuring cups, and baking pans and get baking. All recipes.com has many tempting coffee cake recipes from which to choose. So does "Easy Coffee Cake Recipes: 20 Delicious Recipes with Cream, Blueberries, Chocolate, [and] Streusel" by Jeen van der Meer, which is available in print and in ebook format.
Brew a pot of coffee while the cake is cooling. Then, when both the coffee and cake are ready, enjoy these two favorites that have given so much pleasure to so many over the centuries.
Happy Coffee Cake Day!

Due to numerous on-screen changes, fans of the iconic steamer 'The Young and the Restless' can't be sure who will be cut from the cast next. That's why it was fair to initially wonder if Doug Davidson's job was under the gun (pun intended) when his character 'Paul Williams' was shot this week. However, 'Paul's' dire need for blood may confirm what some YR devotees have considered, 'Dylan McAvoy' (Steve Burton) is actually his son.
'Ian Ward', played slyly by longtime character actor Ray Wise, previously told 'Dylan' that he holds hidden information that is vital to his life. 'Ian' also revealed something shocking to his attorney, 'Leslie Michaelson' (Angell Conwell), which may, or may not, be part of this tale. While 'Ian' continues to play off the apparent fact that 'Dylan' is his son, would it be surprising to learn that the former cult leader simply exaggerated his biological claim?
Back in ancient soap opera days, otherwise known as the 1980s, 'Paul' and 'Nikki Reed' (Melody Thomas Scott) naively joined 'Ward's' New World Commune. It was during that confused period in their lives that 'Nikki' believed she was taken advantage of by 'Ian' and subsequently gave birth to a male child.
Revelations, gained through 'Paul's' pursuits, allowed 'Nikki' to know that 'Dylan' was her blood. She, in turn, decided to permanently link her repressed rendezvous with 'Ian' to the lineage of her first-born. No DNA test ever confirmed that conclusion, so obviously the door to conjecture remains wide open.
This line of story speculation is hardly smooth, as consideration for 'Paul's' apparent parentage should have been strongly considered along the way. But, Genoa City logic, like that used within every daytime drama, can be re-imagined whenever it's convenient.
The plot prospects for a 'Paul-Dylan' connection are profuse. That reality could also curtail 'Ian's' path (again, pun intended) for ongoing psychological abuse. And so, the episodes extend.

How do I clean and care for my pump?
Simple Steps to Keep Your Ameda Breast Pump Clean
Keeping your breast pump clean is not time consuming. But there are a few things you can do to simplify your pump care — so you can spend more time with your new baby.
Sanitize Your Ameda parts Before the First Use
Always follow the manufacturer's instructions. If your pump kit package is not marked "sterile," put all the pieces that come into contact with your milk in a pot, cover them with water, and boil for 20 minutes before using the pump for the first time. Unless your doctor or hospital has told you otherwise, there is no need to do this again.
Everyday Cleaning of Your Ameda Breast Pump
With an Ameda pump, you don't need to boil, microwave or wipe your pump pieces with disinfecting wipes on a regular basis. After every use, rinse the pieces that come in contact with your milk with cool water then wash them in warm, soapy water (using mild detergent), rinse with clear, warm water, and air dry. You can also clean pump parts in the dishwasher. You may want to get one or more extra pump kits and wash them all once at the end of the day. That way you don't need to wash your parts every time you pump.
To clean your pump motor or bag, just wipe it with a clean, damp cloth. This is also a good way to clean the outside of your pump tubing if milk drips onto it.
No Tubing Care
For mothers using a pump with tubing, any moisture in the tubing can contaminate their expressed milk with bacteria, mold and viruses. That's why Ameda breast pumps have Proven Airlock Protection™. During pumping, Ameda's diaphragm keeps the air from your pump from coming in contact with your milk. You don't have to clean the narrow tubing and your milk stays purely yours. Ameda has the world's only breast pump with a proven protective barrier.

From 1861 to 1865m, a bloody Civil War raged between the North and the South.
"The Civil War was fought at the end of the Middle Ages." At the outset, North and South alike had no ambulance corps, few ambulances and no general military hospitals. Everything had to be improvised.
Randall and Donald, The Civil War and Reconstruction, Heath, Lexington MA, 1969, p. 312
The Union government itself devoted far greater attention to the hospitalization and general care of the troops than in former wars, but the burden was too great for the government, and private initiative made a memorable contribution in the work of the United States Sanitary Commission. Under its public-spirited president and secretary (H.W. Bellows and Frederick Law Olmsted) the commission served as a valuable civilian auxiliary to the medical bureau of the war department in tending the wounded and ministering to the morale and comfort of the soldiers.
ibid., p. 488
More than any other institution, the Sanitary Commission systematized the benevolence of the whole North. An English officer hardly exaggerated when he wrote of its organizing power: "The Sanitary Commission has, in fine, disciplined and instructed the whole people and enlisted every man, woman and child in the military service of the country." It was unquestionably the greatest volunteer organization of benevolent character that America had yet produced
ibid., p. 317
In the north, from the start of the war, there had been stirrings of a volunteer spirit. In New York particularly, women began to talk of sending relief to the front, or of going themselves to help with the nursing. Much of this initiative came from Pastor Henry W. Bellows of the First Unitarian Church in New York City, a farsighted and energetic man. On 29 April 1861, a meeting was held in the hall of the Cooper Institute. 'Our gallant soldiers to be soothed in these hardships. And their wounds dressed by delicate hands,' read a headline in the New York Herald the following morning. Three thousand 'brave and philanthropic women,' it reported, had come forward and 'among these thousands of Spartan women were those whose delicacy of physique showed that they had been nurtured in the lap of luxury.' Soon, they were meeting 'in the churches, in the schools, in the salons of the rich' to prepare lint and bandages. Pastor Bellows realized that this vast surge in charitable instinct needed harnessing in a more effective way. On a train to Washington to discuss the co-ordination of relief work, he fell into conversation with two doctors, William van Buren and Jacob Halsen. They talked about Florence Nightingale's work with the wounded in the Crimea and the need for a national body to bring together the volunteers and to gather much-needed information about the army and wounded soldiers.
Caroline Moorehead. Dunant's Dream. Carroll & Graf, New York. 1998
The instituting of the United States Sanitary Commission marks a new era in world history. It is the most grandiose act of philanthropy humanity has ever conceived and accomplished. Through its influence, all of American society has been modified. It is the great thought which preoccupies public attention almost to the exclusion of any other. I have had the most convincing proof of this on a recent trip I made in my native land, my visit having the specific aim of studying the conditions of health in the American armies and the organization of the Sanitary Commission.
Thomas W. Evans, La Commission Sanitaire des Etats-Unis, 1867
It should be added that the influence of the Sanitary Commission has spread beyond the borders of the United States. In Europe, public attention has been aroused. Thus, in the recent Germano-Danish conflict, first aid committees, which were regularly organized according to the exact model of those existing in America, have rendered the greatest of services.
ibid, p xiii.
The same lack of sanitary care and proper food complained of in these letters had wrought fearful havoc in the British army, in the war of the Crimea, in 1855, only six years before, and the American people remembered it. Out of twenty-four thousand troops sent to the Crimea, eighteen thousand had died in less than nine months,---a mortality, it has been said, "never equalled since the hosts of Sennacherib fell in a single night." They died from lack of care, proper sanitary regulations, and the diet necessary to the sick. With their slowly dimming eyes they could see the vessels anchored in the harbor, freighted with the food and medicine, clothing and tenting, sanitary supplies and preventives, for want of which they were perishing.
All were tied up with the red tape of official formalism until Florence Nightingale, with her corps of trained nurses, and full power to do and command as well as advise, landed at Scutari, and ordered the storehouses opened. Then want gave place to abundance, and, through her executive skill and knowledge of nursing and hospital management, the frightful mortality was arrested.
There was a resolute determination in the hearts of the people, that neither inexperience nor dogged adherence to routine should cause such wholesale slaughter of their beloved citizen soldiers. Whether sick or well, they should receive such care as the soldiers of no nation had ever known before. No failure of their plans of relief abated their ardor, and no discouragement stayed the stream of their beneficence. Especially did women refuse to release their hold on the men of their households, even when the government had organized them into an army. They followed them with letters of inquiry, with tender anxiety and intelligent prevision, which eventually put them en. rapport with the government, and developed a wonderful system of sanitary prevention and relief. For the outcome of their patriotism and zeal, their loyalty and love, was the Sanitary Commission.
"The Woman's Central Association of Relief" was the name of a large and remarkable organization, formed in the city of New York, very early in the war. In connection with other similar organizations, they decided to send a committee to Washington, to learn, from the highest authorities, "in what way the voluntary offerings of the people could best be made available for the relief 6f the army."
Dr. Bellows was chairman of this committee, and before he returned from Washington, a plan of organization for the U. S. Sanitary Commission, drawn up by himself, received the sanction of the President and the Secretary of War. Not heartily, however, for the very highest officials of the government regarded the whole plan as quixotic, and consented to it only because "it could do no harm." President Lincoln himself failed at first to comprehend the. large humanity of the organization, and described it as "a fifth wheel to the coach." But for the zeal, intelligence and earnestness of his numerous women constituents, it is more than probable that Dr. Bellows would have retreated before the rebuffs and hindrances opposed to his humane efforts.
The object of the Sanitary Commission was to do what the government could not. The government undertook, of course, to provide all that was necessary for the soldier, whether sick or in health; whether in the army or hospital. But, from the very nature of things, this was not possible, and it failed in its purpose, at times, as all governments do, from occasional and accidental causes. The methods of the Commission were so elastic, and so arranged to meet any emergency, that it was able to make provision for any need, seeking always to supplement, and never to supplant, the government. It never forgot that "it must be subordinate to army rules and regulations, and in no way break down the essential military discipline, on the observance of which everything depended."
In a few months, the baseless prejudice against the Commission melted away. The army surgeons, at first opposed, became enthusiastic in its praise. And the people, who were, in the outset, bent on dispensing their charities only to the companies and regiments organized in their neighborhoods, came finally to accept the larger methods of the Commission, which disbursed the sanitary supplies it received to any hospitals or soldiers that needed them, without. regard to sectional limits. The government accorded to the Commission increased facilities for performing its work. The railroads transported all its freight free of charge---the express companies carried its packages at half price---and the telegraph companies remitted the usual charges on its messages.
Mary A. Livermore, My Story of the War, War: A Woman's Narrative of Four Years Personal Experience. Hartford: A.D. Worthington & Co., 1888.
Nina Brown Baker, Cyclone in Calico: The Story of Mary Ann Bickerdyke, Boston: Little, Brown & Co., 1952.
"The United States Sanitary Commission, forerunner of the American Red Cross, received its national charter in June 1861. "Sanitation" was a new word, and a new science. The American army administration had no place for it. A New York Unitarian clergyman, Dr. Henry Bellows, had been impressed by the work of the British Sanitary Commission in the Crimean War. .."
Mary A. Livermore, My Story of the War, War: A Woman's Narrative of Four Years Personal Experience. Hartford: A.D. Worthington & Co., 1888.
"Whence came these hospital supplies, or the money for their purchase? They were gathered by the loyal women of the North, who organized over ten thousand "aid societies" during the war, and who never flagged in their constancy to the cause of the sick and wounded soldier. As rapidly as possible, "branches" of the United States Sanitary Commission were established in Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Cincinnati, Chicago, and other cities---ten in all. Here sub-depots of sanitary stores were maintained, and into these the soldiers' aid societies poured their never-ceasing contributions. The supplies sent to these ten sub-depots were assorted, repacked, stamped with the mark of the Commission, only one kind of supplies being packed in a box, and then a list of the contents was marked on the outside. The boxes were then stored, subject to the requisitions of the great central distributing depots, established at Washington and Louisville. Through these two cities, all supplies of every kind passed to the troops at the front, who were contending with the enemy."
Mabel T. Boardman, Under the Red Cross Flag at Home and Abroad, Philadelphia: J.B. Lippincott, 1915.
"The purpose of the Commission---and to which it clung with an ever-steadfast tenacity---was defined by its officers in these words: 'The one point which controls the commission is just this: A simple desire and resolute determination to secure for the men who have enlisted in this war that care which it is the duty of the nation to give them. That care is their right, and in the Government or out of it, it must be given them, let who will stand in the way.'"
William Q. Maxwell. Lincoln's Fifth Wheel. The Political History of the United States Sanitary Commission. New York: Longmans, Green, 1956.
The men and women who had faith in the Sanitary Commission worked for the oneness of humanity; they would pull down the barriers of prejudices and set aside harmful distinctions. Confidently they applied their ideas to the care of armies. "What chloroform is to surgery, humanity is to war," wrote Dr. Bellows to Henri Dunant. "It does not stop bloodshed, but it spares needless suffering." During the past ninety years the nations have benefited from the Geneva Convention of 1864; but the advantages they won have been more than offset by modern methods of dealing death and destruction. Has the optimism of men like Bellows and Dunant gone down to defeat? The humanitarian in the middle of our twentieth century cries out: "There cannot, at the present time, be any question of 'humanizing' war."

This book is a collection of 0ver 200 wildlife photographs that have been processed as digital art sketches. The subjects range from a bumble bee to a beluga whale, and include many bird species from Central and South America.
I was born and raised in Bergen County, New Jersey. I earned my B.S. and M.A. + degrees from Seton Hall University in South Orange, New Jersey. I worked in marine biological research at Columbia University, and taught biology and honors biology in a large regional high school in northern New Jersey. Wildlife photography has been my avocation all of my adult life. In the early '70s, I made a 16 mm film on ecosystem dynamics for use in my classroom. This was a sabbatical project, and I lived in Nairobi, Kenya for a year during the shooting of the film. Since retiring to Sarasota, Florida in 1994, I have been traveling, with my wife Pat, to Central and South America and Europe, where I have done considerable photography. Many of my photos are posted at http://www.pbase.com/larrywlinton.

One... moar... sleep...
Monday, February 18, 2013
Until MY BIRTHDAY! And my last day in this seemingly unending streak of finishing training and working the new schedule! All I want for my birthday is to SLEEP IN TUESDAY!
So about my birthday... I do tend to make a biggish deal out of it. Birthdays used to SUUUCK because I grew up super poor and my parents couldn't afford to do much other than bake a cake and have my cousins over. And eventually, even OTHER people's birthdays began to suck, because my closest cousin had relatives who weren't broke, and so he got SHOWERED with gifts and huge parties, which, as an adult, I can see was totally more affordable and manageable in Winnipeg in JULY for his bday instead of figuring out something to do INDOORS in FEB for mine. But still, at the time, it stung. By the time I was about 8 or 9, if a friend invited me to THEIR bday party, I had learned to have a commitment to see my grandparents or something, because we couldn't afford any kind of half-decent gift, and kids are mean, so I'd lose friends, especially since the reciprocal invite was NEVER happening.
So, with my dear hubby's Bday on Jan 30th, and VDay on Feb 14th, and MY Bday on Feb 18th, we kinda spread it all out over at least a week of special stuff. Nobody has asked me about what I'd like for my Bday this year other than if I wanted to go out to a comedy club or to see Tower of Power one night, and frankly, my response was "no thanks, I need sleep please!" so I think we're staying pretty close to home. Hubby is pretty thoughtful though, so I wouldn't be shocked to have flowers delivered to the office tomorrow and a coffee delivered at the crack of 10am on Tues by oldest girlchild followed by breakfast in bed on Wed with hubby working from home that day. There may be a special "other meal" this week, there may not, I really have no idea.
In general, with the adjustment to the new schedule, I really want to sleep and relax and chill the frack out for my two days off. Hubby cleaned up and recalibrated the hot tub over the weekend, so I think I'll get some quality time in with that bad boy.
Otherwise I'm pretty sure there's a mani pedi in my future on Wed, and then we're back at the races Thursday, starting off with a big BANG with some Big Enchiladas from head office in Orlando coming to visit and check out the fresh meat recently gradumacated. I was told today to "dress up and be pretty" because I apparently "have a meeting" on Thursday. Okeydoke! Good thing I have some new cute clothes.
I'll revisit the goals and milestones on my days off and set some new ones. I didn't hit One-Derland, but I'm feeling pretty good about where I'm at, especially with all the changes.

Happy Birthday! Oh can I relate! We weren't super poor, but my BDay is in Feb. also, and never had the $$$ to get a present to attend another child's bday party, and as you said, the reciprocity was not going to happen either. As a parent, I fussed over my k ids' birthdays, but found, through the years of sending them off to their friends' birthday parties, frankly . . . lots of 'em were just plain SPOILED!
We always spent birthdays as a family. Since DS is in the Army, in Alaska @ present, that isn't possible this year, and it will feel a bit "empty", but still have DH, DS and Mr. Spot the Wonder Dog!
Your birthday plans sound perfect! We may go out for supper, but not even important if we do or don't this year. Just being together is a present to me.
HUGS and wishing you a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY sweetie!

Artisan Seeds opens the doorway to an adventure in growing new lines of tomatoes and other vegetables that gardeners everywhere can be a part of. Owned by Baia Nicchia Farm located in Sunol, CA and in collaboration with Viridis Aquaponics, Artisan Seeds has the mission to breed cultivars of tomatoes which have never before existed.
And anyone who wishes to and who can get to their workshops in April and May can participate in the excitement. This lets out a number of folks who do not wish to travel from the east coast for example, but should be of great interest to California gardeners.
Artisan also works with new strains of squash and pepper plants, developing new and unique, true breeding cultivars.
Several of these strains are available through and for the time being, only through, Johnny's Seeds and A.P. Whaley Seeds.
Want to breed new veggies but do not wish to travel to California to find out how? Why not contact Artisan Seeds directly; perhaps you can work something out. It is worth the E-mail.

The Adventure of English
The Adventure of English is a British television series (ITV) on the history of the English language presented by Melvyn Bragg as well as a companion book, also written by Bragg.
The series and the book are cast as an adventure story, or the biography of English as if it were a living being, covering the history of the language from its modest beginnings around 500 AD as a minor Germanic dialect to its rise as a truly established global language.
In the television series, Bragg explains the origins and spelling of many words based on the times in which they were introduced into the growing language that would eventually become modern English.
1. Birth of a Language. The modern Frisian language is the closest sounding language to the English used approximately 2000 years ago, when the people from what is now the north of the Netherlands travelled to what would be the United Kingdom and pushed the Celts to the western side of the island. Words like "blue" can be recognized in the Frisian language.
2. English Goes Underground. Bragg discusses how class also affected the use of English, especially in the time of William the Conquerer and for approximately 300 years after his reign; during this period, only the French language and Latin were used in state affairs and by the aristocracy, while English remained in use with the lower peasant classes.
3. The Battle for the Language of the Bible. In the early to mid 1300s, English fought to be the language of the Christian Bible through the efforts of theologian John Wycliffe, who opposed the church's use of a Latin scripture because it prevented most of the population from reading the bible for themselves.
4. This Earth, This Realm, This England. In Queen Elizabeth I's time, English began to expand to even greater depths. Overseas trade brought new words from France, as well as the now popular swearwords "fokkinge," (f--king) "krappe," (crap) and "bugger" from Dutch, in the 16th century.
5. English in America. Upon landing in North America, settlers encountered Squanto, a native man who had been captured and brought to England to learn English and become a guide. After escaping, Squanto returned to his tribe, which happened to live near the place that the English settlers had created their small village.
6. Speaking Proper. The Age of Reason began, and English scholars of mathematics and science like Isaac Newton started publishing their books in English instead of Latin. Jonathan Swift would attempt to save the English language from perpetual change, followed by Samuel Johnson who would write the A Dictionary of the English Language, made up of 43000 words and definitions, written in seven years and published in 1755.
7. The Language of Empire. British trade and colonization spread the English language. In India, scholar William Jones finds some English words already present in Sanskrit. Convicts land in Australia, blending London criminal slang and Aboriginal words into a new dialect. Jamaicans reclaim patois.
8. Many Tongues Called English, One World Language. The globalisation of the English language in the 20th century owes most to the United States. Here we look at the predominance of American Black street talk, how the Second World War and American movies threatened to "infect" the mother tongue in Britain and how some nations are attempting to stamp in the invasion of English out - for example franglais in France and Singlish in Singapore.

Good stuff Vlatko.
I've been considering a university course on the same subject so I'll enjoy this.
Well presented, easy to understand and really interesting.
I watched the whole thing from start to finish and I'd recommend it to anyone.
real good..answered a lot of subjects on English i often wondered about ...thanks
I bought the series on dvd and have in the meantime read that it normally comes with a guide, which I did not get. Does anyone know where I can get one?
Thank you!
Bloody marvellous!!
I am English living in The Netherlands and have learnt Dutch. In the course of this I had to notice a lot of similarities in some of the words. Then I saw something on line which described old English and I thought, wow, that's just like Dutch!
Now I am FULLY informed in ways that utterly delight me and I'm even more in love with English than ever, plus I have a new fondness for Dutch.
I had, after a couple of years of living in India and learning some Hindi, also noticed some of the similarities touched upon in one of these segments.
A little research had made me realise that words I had taken to be irritating Americanisations, were infact preserved pieces of old English (like 'gotten' for 'got') and now, thanks to this, I have the full story and I'll never be irritated again...... y'all.....
Just proud of our wonderful, adaptable, richly enriched English.
We really are all one big family - I'm so happy.
Thank you Vlatko - for this site and your constant vigilance in adding new material and settling out of control commentaries!
I watched the first episode - so interesting. I can't wait to watch the rest.
Episodes 7 and 8 have problems with the audio and the image.
Simply fascinating.. it truly is an international language.. brilliant doc.
amazing loved this so much, very good to know the roots of our language.
Wow, almost the nicest documentary I have found online. I linked it to my Facebook site. Unfortunately, the eighth sequel is damaged after minute 7:33. One should fix that one of these days. Still: It is so informative, I was really surprised.
Thank you once again for another outstanding documentary.
My wife is Filipina and speaks Taglish (Tagalog/English).
She enjoyed the documentary as well!
I really liked when the narrator said that we Americans speak better English than the English.
We learned many thing that are not taught in school, especially in the US.
We have lived here in Abu Dhabi for many years and every one of my Arabic and Persian friends speak English quite well.
Thanks again,
Tom and Neth
Can these "videos in parts" be joined as a single file & upload to mega video or some other hosts like google videos which support larger FLV files please!!
Great doc Vlatko Shame about the block in part 8 though can you mail me when it is fixed Ta
watched all episodes. very interesting, but there are some boring bits.
Is anybody else here as juvenile as me and giggled in the first episode at the mention of "happy wood"? (at about 21:00)
So far, I have watched the first 2 episodes and am looking forward to watching the rest, after a good night's sleep. I certainly understand what the narrator means about the versatility of the English language and the fine shades of meaning that can be expressed in it. My birth language is Norwegian (though English is the language I know best, as I was only 5 when my family immigrated to the U.S.), and I also speak Danish. One of my Danish friends once told me that even though Danish is his native language, once he learned English, he found that he could express what he meant more precisely in English than he could in his native language because of English's richness and versatility. Based on my own knowledge of Danish, it does not surprise me that he would say that. On the other hand, Danish and Norwegian are both much more consistent phonetically and grammatically than English, with not nearly so many exceptions to the rules that must be learned by rote, and with simpler verb conjugations.
That's just soooo great! I really love this page and this beautiful documentary and I love English linguistics! :)
As a language lover, this is definitely the best I've ever seen on the English language!
Just an Amazing... More people need to see this... because so many people forget that all things are born and grow.
Zut! just when i needed to watch this.
Should I watch this one or read the book? Are they similar in context?
It will be too expensive to buy the DVDs & the book at the same time
Could someone tell me if the book comes with CDs?
Thank you.
I as a Dane find this very interesting. it reviles a lot about my own language that i didn't know... awesome!!! i love it!!!!
Great doc but on the first episode the thing cuts out after 18 mins - shame
Elinore, the book does offer useful information but the DVD's are very entertaining and wonderfully narrated by Mr Bragg. If you want to learn aout this subject I would go ahead and invest in the DVD collection.
Murders, scumbags, 800 yrs............ come on like are ye brainwashed in school or are ye just American, be ashamed Britain.
Liked this so much I watched it twice. Probably spent just a wee bit too much time on Shakespeare...but man alive...it is GOOD!
That's just soooo great! I really love this ...
Be ye a scurvy pirate, Jimmy Fitz?
I like this, so much history
I have watched alot of documentaries. This is by far my favorite, enough that I have shared it with several of my friends. I'm so glad that I was able to find it here. Thank you
It would have been interesting if they had included Canada in this series to demonstrate how torn the country is between American and British English and the hybrid that has been created as a result...
Well done documentary, and could probably have gone on for twice as long as it did!
Thanks yet again, Vlatko!
English is now the strongest language. I am much impressed by knowing that the language of English met crisis of disappearance several times and each time the language had to be reformed and became stronger. I want to learn more about why and how the language was able to survive.
I am very pleased to study English and language altogether.
See that just my point, I don't have that problem because I speak English which is a very expressive and ambiguous language, not to sound like a broken record. You want quotes i'll get you some, may take a little while but I'll get them. more to come-
Once again, every language is expressive in its own way; otherwise, it wouldn't be a language.
Take your time about getting me the quotes, but remember, they must pertain to English in particular and not to language in general.
Now see, you're already back tracking- you just said that using these terms to describe ANY language was id10tic, now you just want to say that using these terms to describe English is wrong. Nice try but it doesn't work that way Junior, you made the statement now live up to it. Here is proof it was an id10tic statement because these are terms all linguists use to describe all languages, including English. And yes i will reference Chomsky directly in this.
"This often quoted example of structural (also called syntactic) ambiguity comes from Noam Chomsky.Sentences that contain lexemes that change their word form or even word class depending on the sentence's interpretation are part of this category. Flying planes in this example sentence may be understood as "to fly planes" as well as "planes, which fly"
This was referring to a list of ambiguous sentences written in the English language by Chomsky that you may find at Glottopedia by searching the terms, "Ambiguity, Polysemy and Vagueness". These are terms used by all linguist, obviously including Chomsky, to discuss the phenomenon of ambiguity in language and these examples are particularly to do with English. Doesn't seem they, meaning linguists in general, think it is quite as "id10tic" as you do, isn't that odd?
Here is a wikipedia page that also discuses ambiguity in language, (wikipedia . org / wiki / List_ of_ linguistic_ example_ sentences) remove all spaces to get URL to work. In fact this article discusses in detail several different forms of ambiguity linguists have identified- Lexical ambiguity, Syntactic ambiguity, as well Syntactic ambiguity and incrementality together- if its so silly it sure seems odd they would flesh it out like this, I mean seems to me quite obvious this is simply accepted jargon for the field of linguuistics. Yes I know this isn't from Tolkein or chomsky, but it sure proves my point that this is a widely discussed topic in linguiustics and has been particularly connected to the English language, after all every example on this page is in English.
Alright, so I am having trouble finding any Tolkein quotes on line but I know that in one of his essays he writes about the ambiguity of the English language and how that is inherent for any language that is as expressive as English is. I read the essay in college is why I know it, but i don't remember the name- That said, I will concede this point. I have no problem with that, even though I know he did lets say Tolkein never even mentioned the word ambiguity- you can have that one. My point is still proven in my opinion. I have clearly demonstrated these are linguistic terms and concepts that the authorities on the subject often discuss and ponder. Your accusation was that using such terms to describe any language was "id10tic", myself as well as the vast weight of academia beg to differ.
i think I have also demonstrated very clearly, and anyone can find the relevant info. via Google, that English is considered by most linguist to be a particularly subtle, ambiguous, and expressive language. If you still disagree that's fine, and if you want to pretend you are just disagreeing with me instead of most linguists and academia in general, that's also fine-but after going out and doing just a few Google searches it is so plain that i am right about this for you to deny it is some what ridiculous. Now this has gotten old, because at this point i feel like I'm dancing for some troll that has simply figured out how to waste my time and get me wired up a little- so have a nice day, no hard feelings, your wrong but who cares.
I wrote, " . . . but remember, they must pertain to English in particular and not to language in general," i.e., more so than to other languages.
Saying that something is easier to express in one language than another, that something comes out clearer in one language than another, that the vernacular associated with a topic fits better in one language than another or that for a person with a certain linguistic background and given a certain set of circumstances, a particular language would prove easier for this individual to learn than for another individual is one thing, but to say that one language is any more ambiguous than another, that any one language is more expressive than another, that one language is any more subtle than another or that any one language is harder to learn than another is idiotic.
All your examples and citations can be applied not only to English in particular, but to other languages in general and merely stand for the proposition that words (and for that matter, phrases) often take their meaning from what surrounds them. This does not make one language any more ambiguous than another or less expressive than another.
How many languages have you studied other than your own--and by this I don't mean to the point of either oral or literal fluency, but as far as gaining a general idea of their grammar, syntax and general structure? By your own admission, you haven't studied Latin which is a shame, for had you, you could have found out a lot about not only your own language but language in general--However, back to the subject of ambiguity. In Latin, there is no way to distinguish between a book and the book. Is this an ambiguity? Not to the Romans who got along perfectly well without this distinction. In other words, it became not only an ambiguity, but a necessity only in later languages. On the other hand, "He has his book" is ambiguous in English, not in Latin, and because in French, adjectives agree in number and gender with the noun they modify, further verbiage is needed to clear up any ambiguity. In other words, ambiguity is only relative. This does not make English any more or less ambiguous than French, French any more less ambiguous than Latin, etc.
"I think I have also demonstrated very clearly, and anyone can find the relevant info. via Google, that English is considered by most linguist [sic] to be a particularly subtle, ambiguous, and expressive language." No, you haven't. You have not provided one shred of evidence demonstrating English to be more subtle, ambiguous or expressive than a lot of other languages (and your quotes and citations certainly do not bear you out). In short, you're the one who's wrong.
I gotta admire your Testicles Wald0. Taking on the Ice Man in the Devilish domain of the English Language. Respect. I hope you're feeling better.
pacha tell me that how i can watch the full film coz there's only 8 headings are shown
why is it now coming up as a private video?
because of folk identity...when its said that English has had 'crises of disappearance' this is from official records and chronicles; not from common-speak through oral traditions.
English is now the strongest language.
English is used widely because back then and even now, the people who speak this language have the biggest guns of all. It is a consequence of empire and colonialism.

Wine 2.0–revolution or evolution?
Tom Wark over at Fermentation has a great post on his experiences and key take aways from the recent Wine 2.0 event in San Francisco, which we're sad we missed. Our favorite excerpt is this nugget:
…the wine 2.0 phenomenon may be no more complex than a new set of technologies by which wineries communicate their story and product line to consumers, something they've been doing with some success with different technology long before the Internet. This would be the less reverent view of the wine 2.0 phenomenon. The most reverent view of this thing we celebrated on Friday would be the view that Online Social networking around wine will change the way all Americans understand the beverage and lead to a startling democratization of the beverage that will lead laggards to the partly in the dust.
Count us as falling in the 'most reverent' camp on this one, afterall, that is why we're hard at work on our own community, Uncork29.

The fast approaching weekend of March 14 and 15, Denver boxing has two shows showcasing both professional and amateur local talent that benefit more than worthy causes.
Friday night March 14, the DAC (Denver Athletic Club) offers their popular 'St. Paddy's Day Punch-Out Boxing Night', an awesome fundraising effort (not open to the public) that benefits their inner city sports charity, Mile High Squash, with dinner at 6PM and boxing at 7:30PM.
The professional boxing entertainment for the evening consists of 6 bouts having again been organized by Poor Boys Boxing with two of Denver's more talented prospects in 19 years-old featherweight Donovan 'Slick D' Estrella (2-0) taking on Elan Simon (2-0-1, 1 KO) and in the main event 28 years-old light middleweight Giovanni 'Predator' Merceron (3-1, 2 KO's) vs Joel Vargas (4-13-2, 4 KO's) highlighting the card.
Young Estrella boasts an exemplary amateur background that includes a 2011 National Junior Oympics title, him saying "I'm ready and excited for Friday night. We've been working on my power and sitting down on punches. That will show itself in a positive way on Friday night".
The talented Merceron has one hiccup on his resume, that coming from a unanimous decision loss to highly respected Jeremy Ramos (5-1) back on September 28, 2013 in his last outing. The loss allowed Merceron the opportunity to correct a few flaws, him taking this fight at 152 lbs. after his welterweight opponent became a late scratch (injured arm). Merceron expects to briefly campaign at welterweight and eventually settle in at super lightweight.
The remaining card consists of super featherweights Martin Quezada vs Estafa Jahad and 3 heavyweight bouts featuring Terrance Perro vs Sean Jeppson, Andrew Klein vs Mike Seymour and Cristian Bonilla vs Mason Chesmore rounding out the action.
Saturday afternoon March 15 beginning at 3PM, the WBC Cares (Stephen Blea & Raylene Carbone) in conjunction with the CGGC (Colorado Golden Gloves Charities) hosts an amateur boxing event at the CGGC Gym, 6161 W 44th Ave. in Wheatridge, with proceeds benefiting cancer victim Deidre Vickers Strauch, a single mother with two small children. Tickets prices are $15 adults, $10 GA, with kids under 5 admitted FREE. For information call Coach Berndog at 720-862-4912 or Stephen Blea at 303-292-0490.
Cancer is a horrendous disease that is now or will soon affect someone in every one of our families with now the time to take action in supporting the cause for finding a cure.
Mile High Sports programming has moved to 94.1FM (no longer airing on either 93.7FM or 1510AM) and is operating under a new lease agreement with Cedar Cove Broadcasting in Longmont.
The Saturday morning show hosted by Michael Klahr will continue having as in-studio guests on March 22nd from 8-9AM, Jesse Mora and E. Paul Kelly, Jr. from the Colorado Golden Gloves commenting on the upcoming 2014 Colorado Golden Gloves State Tournament held March 26-29 at the Crowne Plaza Events Center, I-70 & Chambers.

Today, Friday September 18, 2009 is the 8th anniversary of my Ordination to the Christian Ministry. I was ordained within the faith community of the Jamaica Baptist Union (JBU), and installed that same day as Pastor of the Stewart Town Circuit of Baptist Churches. This was the same circuit of 3 congregations; Stewart Town Baptist (in photo above), Faith Baptist in Jackson Town, and Keith Baptist in Keith, St. Ann.
I still find it hard to believe its been only 10 years since my graduation from seminary, the United Theological College of the West Indies (UTCWI), and 8 years since ordination after completing the JBU's mandatory minimum 2 year probationary period. Perhaps 8 years seem like nothing to you, given your own unique life circumstances. However, all my experiences since 1999 and later 2001 have convinced me that, its been 8 extraordinary years. And that's putting it mildly.
I knew before I 'signed up' that I had a challenging life ahead of me. Yet I have to say that there were some life changing moments, for which no amount of preparation could have made me ready. And there have also been tremendous blessings that I could never have conjured up in my wildest dreams. What a journey…..
So I pause today to reflect on the past 8 years, and to seek greater clarity on the possibilities that lie ahead.
I mark these 8 years proud to be part of the unique family of the JBU in which I was raised, nurtured, discipled, called, trained and accredited to exercise ministry in Jamaica and beyond its shores. If I had to do it over again, I would choose no other faith community. I am proud of our rich Jamaica Baptist heritage, spawned amidst the bloodshed my African ancestors in partnership with English missionaries.
Yet, in confession I also mark this 8th year as I look back at the times when I have;
– felt ashamed to be one of the 'ground-staff' of the Church across the world busy being something else other than the body of Christ, broken, salted and set ablaze to transform the world.
So I today I ask again for myself and others Holy Spirit, set our hearts on fire!
– been saddened by the shameless disunity and divisiveness among the people of God and wonder about the future of collegiality, ecumenism and interfaith cooperation in ministry when selfishness, competition, and enmity are the current trends.
So today I pray for myself and others Lord, make us one!
– grown increasingly disturbed that this year marks 20 years since the JBU accepted and sent to UTCWI our 1st woman Rev. Doreen Wynter to be trained for the ordained ministry. I became the 3rd Jamaican woman to start training 6 years later and today 20 years past and 14 women trained and in the field we are no closer to overcoming our denial of the sexism. Discrimination against women is growing more fierce in the backlash against Womanist/Feminist theologizing in our denomination, the wider Baptist family and the global Church.
I pray for myself and others, Divine Sofia teach us your truth!
Why then have I stayed on this course in light of all I've confessed?
Yesterday, one of my dearest friends sent me a very touching letter to mark this anniversary with me. I was both surprised and moved by the fact that he remembered and reminded me of the recessional hymn, I Am The Way that I chose to close the service back in 2001. The full hymn is posted here but here are the lines my friend shared with me:
I am the Vine, you shall abide in Me,
I am the River, you shall be cleansed in Me,
I am the Rock, you shall have life in Me;
I am your brother, living in flesh with thee,
I am your Saviour, dying on Calvary,
I am your God, rising in victory
[UTCWI Graduating Class of 1999 – Where am I?]
Lest you think that I'm camping out in a cave in Panama complaining to God that I'm the last prophetess left, I not only confess but I celebrate the joys of this challenging ordained life that finds meaning in the One who is:
Way, Truth, Light,
Vine, River, Rock,
Brother, Saviour, God.
Today I can firmly say, that it is God's grace that has kept me and brought me this far and it is this same grace I depend on to see me along each step of rest of the journey. I celebrate that;
– I remain convicted of my sense of call.
– I experience Christ in the constancy of affirmation of said call through individuals and communities at home and abroad.
– God provides genuine friends who support me in good and bad times and help me dig deeper to re-discover my own strength.
– In places far away, among peoples previously unknown strangers become friends and the alienated are reconciled.
– In the deserted places and among the lonely in this virtually shrinking world, Spirit connects us and we know we are not alone.
– In the wasteland of academic accomplishments for posturing and empty prattling, the gifts of intellect, perception and discernment become light to dispel darkeness and transform the landscape of this world.
And so I pray, God of Grace , grant us widsom and courage for the facing of this hour!
And the journey continues…

I have data from 100 individuals doing a 2AFC under a control and a manipulated setting. I want to compare the means. I initially used a paired t-test. My supervisor noticed the distributions were not normal and recommended me using the Mann–Whitney U test instead of the t-test. However, as far as I can tell, the Mann–Whitney U test does not allow for paired data. Or does it? What non-parametric test should I use? What test generalizes the paired t-test? In other words, I have a non-normal distribution and I want to test how different its mean is from zero.
Cross Validated is a question and answer site for people interested in statistics, machine learning, data analysis, data mining, and data visualization. It's 100% free, no registration required.

The non-parametric analog of the paired $t$-test is the Wilcoxon.

Warped Tour fans waiting for the next band to take the Kia Forte Stage.
The long-running punk rock festival came back to Utah on June 29 at the Utah State Fairpark, bringing many bands who know the state and local fans well, and others here for the first time. We chatted with locals who have been coming to the show for years and a handful of artists and bands backstage to find out what it's like on tour, and more specifically, what it's like rocking out for a Utah moshpit.
For some Utahns, Warped Tour is a family tradition. "This is the third year we have come as a family," says Kent Burges, a Layton resident who attended with his wife and three children. "The kids love it. There is something for everyone," says his wife Amie. "Our oldest is a fan of Emily's Army, and I don't miss an opportunity to hear Reel Big Fish play." Even the youngest member of the Burges family, 4-year-old Conner, was in tow, riding on his father's shoulders and flashing the rock 'n' roll devil horns to just about everyone who passed.
Fan crowd surfing during Forever the Sickest Kids' set.
For many bands at Warped Tour, Utah stands out. Rapper MC Lars told us out of the places he has performed, Kilby Court in SLC is among his favorites. "Utah kids are really generous and loyal," he says. "They buy your merch and come see you again, they always come up and chat with me after shows. It's really fun—I've been coming here for almost 10 years. People here are so kind and sweet."
MC Lars backstage, showing off his video game chain.
When asked about his style of music, MC Lars described it as "lit-hop" or "literature rap." He is inspired by Shakespeare and Edgar Allen Poe. "Poe was obsessed with sound and rhymes. He even lived in the Bronx, not far from where the first DJ started DJ'ing," he says. "When I made the connection with literature and rap, I knew that I had to spend my life helping kids see it too."
Others had a slightly different view of SLC concert goers. Silverstein drummer Paul Kohler says "Salt Lake crowds are known to be crazy. Some of the craziest mosh pits I've seen have been in this city. Concerts get shut down because so many fights break out."
Motion City Soundtrack's singer Justin Pierre at the Van's Warped Tour.
Matthew Taylor, bassist for Motion City Soundtrack, has also seen some crazy crowds in Utah. "I don't know what it is, but the Utah crowds seem to be really rowdy, and really excited," he says. "I don't know why, but I like it. So keep it up."
Kazuki Takemure of Crossfaith
Utah does more than put on rowdy punk concerts—second time visitors Crossfaith, from Osaka Japan, are inspired by our own local breakout—The Used. They listen to the Orem band's music at home and on the road.

Warped Tour veterans Reel Big Fish are celebrating their fifth time on the tour. Robert Quimby and Ryand Steen let us in on the secret—the band members love Utah's breweries and the mountainous landscape keeps them coming back. "We truly love playing here—our fan base is awesome in Utah. It doesn't hurt that it's gorgeous either. We can't get enough of this view," Steed says.

And we're sure that combination of wild and dedicated fans, local talent and just a beautiful place to play that will keep concerts like the Warped Tour coming back.

Is turkey responsible for the sleepiness that occurs after enjoying a Thanksgiving dinner? Turkey contains tryptophan, an amino acid that is important in our diet. Tryptophan is a precursor for the production of serotonin, a neurotransmitter that influences a calming, sleep-inducing effect on the brain.
Until 1989, tryptophan supplements were dispensed over-the-counter and were used for appetite control, depression, stress reduction, and as a sleep aid. The supplements were recalled by the U.S. FDA after a contaminated lot manufactured in Japan was associated with an outbreak of a potentially fatal condition known as eosinophilic myalgia syndrome (EMS). This painful blood disorder causes high fever, rash, weakness, and shortness of breath. During that outbreak, over 1,500 people were reported to have contracted EMS with at least 37 fatalities.
So, does turkey really make you drowsy? No—it's a myth! In order for the tryptophan in turkey to produce a sedative effect, it has to be taken on an empty stomach. However, after a typical thanksgiving meal of turkey, stuffing, sweet potatoes, gravy, cranberry sauce, and pumpkin pie, the tryptophan doesn't stand a chance in your digestive system. It is unlikely that the tryptophan will cause any sedative effects when ingested with other foods.
So, why is there a difference in body responses when we take tryptophan supplements compared with consuming it through the diet? When people take tryptophan supplements, the purified compound can get to the brain with relative ease. But after a turkey feast, the tryptophan molecules are slowed down. They are circulated through the body as part of a package with lots of other competing amino acids. There is competition for those amino acids to cross the blood-brain barrier and their potential to pass through quickly is greatly reduced.
Then why are we drowsy after a Thanksgiving feast? We typically feel sleepy after consuming large quantities of food, especially if the meal is high in carbohydrates with potatoes, bread, and sweet desserts. Alcohol consumption can also have a sedative effect and contribute to lethargy. Or, maybe we are just so relaxed around our family and friends that we just want to sleep!

Stacy Glover, 24, faces felony animal cruelty charges and is currently being held in the Sarasota County Jail in Florida on Wednesday for allegedly beating a 12-pound dog to death and lying to authorities reported nbc2.com.
On August 8, Glover agreed to watch the miniature Dachshund named Athena, however when the family returned, Glover told them the dog had run away.
A surveillance video, however tells a different and distressing story. Glover is seen beating the dog with his hands and then the dog is seen running away. Glover goes after the dog, and is then seen carrying the defenseless little pooch back inside of the house by the scruff of her neck.
Later in the video, Glover is seen carrying what appears to be the lifeless body of the dog and returns later without the dog. Athena has not been found.
According to the Sarasota County Sheriff's Office, Glover has been charged with four counts of felony animal cruelty and one count of tampering with evidence.
The video is very graphic and may not be suitable for all audiences.

Only a few hours ago, the City of St. Louis, MO promised that dogs and cats left outside in the cold, will be confiscated and their owners will be charged with animal cruelty, reports the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
Temperatures are expected to drop below zero in the area, and Mayor Francis Slay is promising that special teams will not only be canvassing the streets, looking for people who don't have a warm place to be, but they will also be on the lookout for pets who are left outside. Police Chief Sam Dotson said they would have officers looking for these dogs and cats, whose owners would be charged with animal cruelty.
Stray Rescue of St. Louis is pledging to mobilize volunteers to help out with the City's efforts, and they've been pleading with local dog and cat owners to bring their animals inside, otherwise "they will die," said Randy Grim, representing the organization at today's press conference.
If you live in the area and see an animal in need, please call 314-657-1500.
