If you are considering
installing a heated driveway, there are three general driveway heating solutions
that we
typically recommend:
To provide you with an accurate estimate for a radiant
heated driveway system, please
email or
fax us (801-326-5199) the dimensions and a plan or sketch of your
driveway or area that you wish to apply radiant heat. (You may also
click the "get quote" link and then fill out the necessary
information.) We will promptly provide you with the most accurate estimate possible as
well as offer some custom driveway heating options and
information that may be advantageous
for your
specific project.
Electric snow melt systems
utilize durable, highly efficient cable that distributes
heat evenly across the surface of your driveway or sidewalk. The rugged heating cable can be
installed in new concrete pours, under pavers and even in harsh,
high-temperature new asphalt construction projects.
The cable is secured to the remesh, spaced at 6 inches and
raised to be within 2 inches of the surface, using
dobies or chairs). The
concrete is then poured over the cable.
Warmzone ClearZone
cable is the most popular radiant driveway snow melting cable and
features efficient, maintenance free operation and a
manufacturer warranty.

Recap | Final Stats | Photo Gallery
Tulane Head Coach Lisa Stockton
Opening statement
"First of all I am just really proud of my team. I thought that we fought out of a hole. At the end we had some opportunities, turned the ball over and then came back and played really good defense. One of our goals in this game, LSU's offense is just so effective and efficient, we really challenged our player's defensively and wanted to hold this game under 70 points. I thought that was the key for us and our success."
On LSU's Theresa Plaisance
"She has been their player. That wasn't a surprise to us. She has really been a go to player for them. I thought that we were pretty aggressive with her. Although she had a great game, I feel like offensively us attacking her on the interior and getting her into foul trouble was an important thing. She is having a super year. She is a New Orleans girl. We know her. I told her at the end of the game, `good luck and have a fabulous year.' She is really playing well."
On the series between the schools
"I think the one thing is that a rivalry is not a rivalry unless it is close and there is good games every time you play. I know that Coach Caldwell had said some things about it earlier in the week. We are just down the road. It has been very competitive between the programs the past couple of years. It is always going to be close. The program here is a real quality program. For us to come in and win here is a really good win for us."
Tulane Sophomore Forward Whitney Bibbins
On coming back to Baton Rouge
"It is always exciting coming back and winning at home. There are always a bunch of fans at home. I was a little nervous at first. I did kind of shake out of it. It was really good to come back home."
On free throws at the end of the game
"I haven't been shooting very well from the free throw line and I was a little nervous, but I knew that I needed to knock these down. I just relaxed and focused."
LSU Head Coach Nikki Caldwell
Opening statement
"First off, I want to give a lot of credit to Tulane. We knew going into this game that it was going to be a battle. We talked about it being a battle on the boards and having the effort and mentality to finish off plays, and I felt like Tulane did a much, much better job trying to finish off their plays on the offensive end by getting second and third opportunities. But they also found gaps in our matchups on the strong side which allowed them to get some easy looks. A lot of credit to Tulane for executing their looks and playing better than we did."
On the recent play of Theresa Plaisance
"Theresa [Plaisance] has been a solid player for us down the stretch. Not having her in the game could obviously have a different outcome. But I like that Theresa [Plaisance] is playing more aggressive and trying to challenge shots and getting eight blocks in one game. She is someone who is doing a very good job for us. And offensively, she has really stepped up and been that go-to player for us."
On the struggles of the offense
"Our guard play, we cannot be so consumed with the jump shot. And sometimes, we as guards think that that's the only option for us and our patience wasn't there. It's one thing when we work the ball - we got some inside and outside looks - and then you take the shot, but I really felt like the guards put a lot of pressure on the jumper. And Theresa [Plaisance], she does a great job for us in the paint and even knocked down a couple of perimeter shots for us. But the guards need to understand when we're running our offense, let's be a little more patient, let's get a little more ball reversals, let's make sure our post players are touching the basketball and let's play like a unit. And the times that we didn't, again, we came up empty."

This course continues to evolve each time he teaches it and this web site is updated as new material and links are added.
To learn more about the class, read the Course Introduction.
This class is an extension of my Game Prototyping class in which I use Game Maker software, which exposes non-programmers to some of the logic and thought behind game programming without making them learn C++. Game Maker is also another useful tool for artistic game expression and for creating malleable game prototypes and demos for more elaborate works suitable for product pitch presentations.
If you wonder if a career in Game Design is really right for your life or you just seek amusement, read The Top 10 Reasons to be a Game Designer.
For students of this course: You'll want to read the Methodology & Grading information, plus what you're expected to hand in on the last day of class for your Graded Course Project.

- One 3- to 4-pound whole chicken
- 1 quart chicken stock or low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 quarts water
- 2 medium onions, quartered, plus 1/2 cup onions, diced
- 2 carrots, roughly chopped, plus 1/2 cup sliced carrots
- 2 celery stalks, roughly chopped, plus 1/2 cup small-diced celery
- 2 sprigs fresh thyme
- 5 or 6 parsley stems, plus 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
- 1 bay leaf
- 2 1/4 teaspoons salt, plus more for seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more for seasoning
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 4 ounces whole button mushrooms, quartered
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/4 pound dried vermicelli noodles, broken into pieces
Place chicken in a large stockpot or Dutch oven and cover with stock and water. Add quartered onion, chopped carrots, chopped celery, thyme, parsley, and bay leaf. Season with salt and pepper. Bring mixture to a boil, partially cover, and reduce heat to a simmer. Cook for 1 hour; chicken should easily pull away from the bones.
Using tongs, remove chicken from broth and set aside until cool enough to handle. Strain cooking liquid through a fine-meshed sieve lined with cheesecloth, discarding vegetables and reserving cooking liquid. Pull chicken meat off bones, discarding bones, skin, and any fat. Shred and reserve meat.
Add oil to a large stockpot over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and cook until browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Add diced onions, sliced carrots, and diced celery and cook until vegetables are softened, 2 to 4 minutes. Stir in butter and reserved cooked chicken. Add reserved cooking liquid and bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 30 minutes. Add 2 1/4 teaspoons salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and vermicelli to the pot and simmer until noodles are cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in parsley leaves. Serve hot.
Yield: 3 quarts

The British Museum's Ashurbanipal Library Project focused on the Babylonian texts from Nineveh (Kouyunjik) is investigating the kind of Babylonian compositions the Assyrian king Ashurbanipal (668-627 BC) ordered to include into his royal library and their relation to the rest of the Kouyunjik Collection and to the king's collecting activities. This project was conceived with a six months research on the Kouyunjik Collection itself and became reality in March 2003 through the generous funding by the Townley Group of the Friends of the British Museum. As a result of the first part of the project I made 86 joins and created a database on the Babylonian Nineveh tablets.
A second part of the Ashurbanipal Library Project was conducted from October until December 2005. This time I made 59 joins. During the third part of the Ashurbanipal Library Project (April until June 2006), I was able to make an additional 38 joins.
During the three months in 2005, I also went through the files of the Museum to collect information on the Nineveh tablet fragments that have been rejoined so far. During the first weeks of 2006 I created a database on the Nineveh joins, the Assyrian and Babylonian ones.
- Firstly, I would like to give every scholar of Assyriology the chance of using the information of these databases.
- Secondly, I ask everybody who uses these databases to email corrections and / or additional information to me.

This hotel's location is the best thing about it. It's right in the middle of everything and 2 mins walk from the beach. Rimini itself is beautiful and well worth visiting.

Can i just add a few words here on how much i enjoyed Monty's talk on his garden and love of it.. it was a packed out show and it was awesome.. to hear him talk of his love and how his garden has grown from meadows/fields to what it is now.. the ups and downs. wonderful i was entralled all evening.. to see private parts of the garden that the show does not go in..
The questions and answers afterwards were wonderful. and the meet and greet also.. i got my book signed and was able to have a few words. thank u Monty for making me realise i am not mad to love my gardening as i do.. it is my family who are mad not to love it also..
The only thing was NIgel was not there to all of ours dissapointment.. but wre told fame had gone to his head. adn he got more fan male than Monty did lol.. a wonderful evening to talk ... laughter enlightenment.. thank u Monty xxx
oooh thank u hun for that.. will be watching. xxx
hello everyone.. sorry i have been away from here for too long.. building my garden and life has taken me off.. i did add some piccies last year of start mey new path.. but i have sincehad computer hardrive die and i lost all of them.. but here are some of how it has gone upto now.. xx
sorry added in wrong order but u can see. xx
i did my cowslips and primrose lat year and the are now doing very well, i did angelic which is coming up now nicley and all my honesty plants and common burdock are good 9cm sized pot plants.. i seed (rather late i think) my helenium seeds last week, but the rest i will leave litte longer if poss, as i also lostlot lat year with the snow an cold.
indoor jobs.. decorating is the winter jobs for me.. i do spend time in garden or should say greenhouse.. just keepign eye on everything...
@obelixx. exactly.. it doe not seem to have much gardenin back bone this year.. carol has been out visitng all time.. hardly any time in her garden this year.. and monty has not shown much at all.. one week it sad show how to take cuttings from fuschia.. but he didnt show it and i have not seen it at all on any others,
something has to change in the show.. it is only 30mins long as it is so to waste it going round seeing peoples gardens with loads of money and space. is no good to me at all.. i want to see hwo to grow and to cope and as you say all aspects of gardening..
i must admit i bring all my small seeded plants and non hardy plants indoors to the spare bedroom.. Hubby gets annoyed with me.. but hey i just tell him "if they die i will ahve to go some replacements" and he lets it be
but i have side one on house and it keeps warm for the heat of the house also.. but i dont keep much in greenhouse except for fuschias, agapanthus, and terracota pots.
i did insulate mine one year with bubble wrap.. hubby not impressed with that job.. ut to be honst it go so much condensation.. it was worse that no insulating and my plants died.. so i dont bother anymore..
@patty3.. i have to agree.. he comes along with shrubs and roses and plants in barrow loads, and you can see they come from garden centre.. and i cant afford that.. most of all my plant have come from growing from seed or cuttings..
As much as i lvoe MOnty he does forget that not all of us have gardens as large as an airfield!! and i must say not happy it is last show toady of GW. it doesnt seem to have been so good this year.. too much going off and looking at stuff and not enough actual gardening
@davidK that rose is to die for.. absolutely gorgeous..

Kudos to people who maintain a real, grown-up calendar. We have enough trouble just scheduling ourselves a week ahead. This Stick-It! Dry-Erase Weekly Planner ($9) is more our style. Mount the abbreviated calendar to just about any flat surface and then later re-stick it to other parts of your home without leaving behind a residue. From there, your whole family can write their plans on a shared short-term schedule. Best of all, when a big event arrives and you don't feel like changing out of your sweatpants, simply erase the plans as if they never existed.

Founder & President of Diamonds In The Rough (DITR)…Finding The Spirit In Me!
Note: This article is sent out in an automatic email blast to those on its original list through this site. Please email me if you like to be added or removed. T2M Column reaches approximately 5,000+ in total since January 2011.
Call for your write up and personal review, ad, or article (info listed at bottom of the article). We celebrate 3 years writing for the Examiner, and 9 years since the "Talk 2 Me" column began with CCN, Harlem Mg. as a freelance writer. God is able and most FANTABULOUS honey!
Today was a dynamically fantabulous experience witness the NFL Gospel Choir minister in song and give words of wisdom and encouragement to adolescent aspiring football players. I must admit the McDonald's Gospelfest team from Irving Street who were present were dressed to kill. Master Choir Director of the McDonald's Gospel Choir I'm a member of and Executive Producer of the McDonald's Gospelfest, Matthew Kirkwood was looking very impressive in his gray pinned stripped suit along with others from the team such as, Brian and Hassan who were also sharp.
Before the huge crowd piled in to the grand opening of the McDonald's at 1700 Park Ave in Bridgeport, I had the pleasure of talking to some of the players, meeting owner and operator Chris Trefz once again, and getting some footage. Thank you Mr. Trefz because the breakfast that was on you sure hit the spot lol. I don't follow sports and wouldn't have known if I was meeting an NFL player or not, but I was able to distinguish them from the guests due to the t-shirts they wore. They looked astonishing, and all were so open and friendly. The air was filled with chatter, laughter, joking, and some of the players singing to warm themselves up.
Some others who were present was Mayor, Bill Finch, his wife, mother, brother, and his sons. Also, other prominent and influential people in the community of Bridgeport. Singers from the group, "Covenant..." were in the house, Myron Butler gospel recording artist who directed the choir; and a reverend from the area came to open in prayer and bless the restaurant and those in it, in addition to its owner.
Among a few of the NFL players that stood out was Elroy with his handsome self, and Mr. Henry Lawrence of Sarasota, FL; singer, actor, and speaker who'll soon be running for Congress in his town. He resembled "Howling Wolf" from the movie, "Cadillac." He also had a sultry, strong, deep sound when he got of the mic to sing his portion of the gospel selection the NFL choir was singing after I opened up with spoken WORD, and the Covenant choir opened with a selection.
It's hard to be objective covering this piece because the Irving Street team have become family to me since I've been participating as a poet finalist from the year, 2003. Moreover, been singing with them since Dec 2007 on the gospel choir, and reporting for DITR's Talk 2 Me Media/freelance coverage since 2009. Others who I knew that came out to support was my Co-Pastor of True Vine of Holiness was Evangelist Helen Littleberry which took me by surprise. Also, my good friend, gospel recording artist Sheila McCoy of N-His Image came by for a while to support.
There was so much excitement in the room once the high school football players showed, patrons that came and packed the place out, the Irving Street team, the Mayor Finch and his family, artists, and more showed to support the grand opening of the McDonald's; I had no time to get names and record them, get footage, pray, and get in my zone all at the same time so that I'd be able to minister the piece "Green Eyes," effectively (Green Eyes is located on a previous article if you'd like to read the words). Thank the Lord that He saw me through in the midst of all the talking that was going on. Someone from the CT Post said to me after I did my selection, "Hey why don't you put more energy into it why don't you!" He said jokingly with others from the Channel 12 News as if to say, Che'ri you couldn't have given the piece more energy and umph than I already had. I'm glad God enabled me to do it well despite the loudness in the room, and to be able to focus. We all just laughed, and I was pleased to have a couple of players hug me and receive the Word I spoke after I got out of the spotlight to bring forth the words God had given me to say.
The event ended outside with the ribbon cutting; a ribbon that had money pinned all across it to commemorate it's grand opening. Mr. Elroy, Mayor Bill Finch and his family, Henry Lawrence, owners and operators, and the Irving Street team all held the ribbon as it was being cut by Mr. Lawrence.
Although I've been dealing with a financial crisis and situations that look gloomy, the Lord allowed me to shine through the darkness I've been dealing with in my life at this time; still a blessing and a glimpse of sunshine in the storm. So, it was a blessed experience, and I was truly honored by being given the chance to be the only spoken Word artist from CT to represent this occasion. Thank you Jesus for your Word is true, "...your gifts will make room for you and bring you before great men." God is able.

"TESTIMONY (Redemption)"
Theeeere's testimonies shut up in my bones
I moan and groan over the many days I spent in court
Mad at the devil, now I laugh 'cause what he tried didn't work
Conception through belief and faith in His Word
Protecting spiritual pregnancies I refuse to let abort
My soul is RELIEVED and REDEEMED by His blood and grace
NO, I don't know karate, but I know crazy faith!
Crazy faith got me through so many times when I had fallen short
I don't have to take revenge 'cuz vengeance is MINE saith the Lord
I'm a SURVIVOR through His love and faith-can ya'll relate?
The enemy has been on my case since March 28th at the BIRTH of this race
See I didn't fight the war over seas, but I fought in the battle within my family,
Next the streets to church indecencies then uprooting the enemy inside me
So when you look at me remember this word-REDEMPTION!
'cuz my very presence is a victory untold
Refining in the fire yet to come out as pure gold
Defeating every type of abuse on the totem pole
All in the name of salvation and speaking life into someone else's soul
Jesus is gonna give back what the devil stole and mo'
So, stop playing games and act like you know
Like I said, "I GOT TESTIMONIES SHUT UP IN MY BONES!"

Husssshhhh, Hold your peace and be still
I'ma slip you some words that are holy ghost spirit filled
Little Richard neva took God's place
God IS the Originator & Creator- that's not up for foolish debate
Cuz in the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God
A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver
So start cleanin' up the words that you say- cuz the wrong words can killa ya
Listen, he spoke creation into existence and for this I am here
Made in His image and likeness, creativity resides here
LOOOOK--- no more labels attached to me
Not bound by your impressions of what you said I should be
I'm like the woman with the issue of blood so STEP ASIDE!
I might accidentality "drip- drop" some of this fresh, anointed wine, if you don't mind!
Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world
Don't try to bottle me up cuz' this flask might burst
He can give us peace that passes all understanding
Hold up--STOP! Am I too demanding?
You're so supposed to have faith and believe
All things are possible in Christ Jesus
So when the enemy tells you, you used to, you can't, you aren't, and you won't be
Remind him that he has no right or authority over your destiny, so FLEE !
Instead he'll be used as footstool to reach your dreams
Laugh, and smile in the face of adversity!
See, we don't need man's titles because we're born with diverse, unique, complexity
Rip off those phony labels since they really don't mean a thing
Please no blockin' passage ways or stickin' your labels on Creativity
Cuz I am her and she is me
It 's not what YOU say, but who GOD created me to be.

Dear guests, Last month Turkish Airlines hosted IATA's (International Air Transport Association) 64th annual general meeting in Istanbul.
Participants of the conference including airline industry CEOs, executives and representatives of media organizations from around the world converged at one of the most important aviation-related meetings and had the opportunity to learn more about both Turkish Airlines and the city of Istanbul. One of the most important aspects of this year's conference was that it marked the end of printed ticket use by IATA member airlines. As we witnessed this historic transition, Istanbul was the backdrop for this momentous occasion in aviation history.
The unbelievable increase in fuel costs as well as increases in airport and environmental taxes and the adverse impact of these factors on the industry were the main issues of the conference which fosters discussion on the future of the aviation sector. As the global airline industry wrestles with the difficulties of fuel-related cost increases, the winning performance of Turkish Airlines impressed conference attendees. Turkish Airlines, which is Europe's fastest growing airline, had a superb start in 2008. In the first quarter, the company's net profit rose 207% compared to the same period last year, reaching 125 million New Turkish Liras (TRY). Despite the negative impact of fuel cost increases on the sector, the positive first quarter results achieved by Turkish Airlines is an encouraging and pleasing sign for the remainder of the year.
Turkish Airlines management planned and implemented measures to offset cost increases well ahead of their impact. Our main principle in implementing cost-saving measures was to 'avoid cuts in areas that are necessary for quality of service, and to save even 1 TRY that will not contribute to the service offered to our passengers.'
We've planned to reduce fuel costs by working together with IATA's 'green team', which also works to develop environmental sensitivity, and we plan to save up to 100 million USD through related efforts.
Dear guests, I would also like to share with you the positive developments related to Anadolujet, which links Ankara to Anatolia with the assurance of Turkish Airlines. Within a very short period of just two months, Anadolujet succeeded in increasing its passengers by 65%, raised its load factor to 85% and satisfied the expectations of our passengers. Aiming to reach 2 million passengers in 2008, as of June 23 Anadolujet has increased its number of flights and inaugurated flights between Ankara and Denizli. Turkish Airlines continues to increase its domestic destination points. Last month we inaugurated the Amasya Merzifon flights. With flights on 3 days of the week for now, our passengers will be able to reach several provinces and towns in the area.
Dear guests, The success of Turkey's soccer National Team at the European Cup made the country and Turkish Airlines employees proud. As the Turkish Airlines family, we would like to congratulate the players and technical and coaching staff of the Turkish National Team, of which we are a lead sponsor, and we wish them continued success in the future. I wish you all a pleasant flight.
Temel KOTİL, Ph.D., CEO and Member of the Board

"Rethinking Neonate Imitation: Tongue Protrusion in Context." Keven Nazim, Kathleen Akins, Lyle Crawford.
Abstract: Twenty-five years old, Meltzoff and Moore (1977) published their famous article Imitation of facial and manual gestures by human neonates. Since then, the authors results and conclusions have generated much considerable controversy about the existence neonatal imitation. We examine a single gesture, tongue protrusion, given the significant, statistical evidence that neonates imitate this gesture. Here we adopt a novel perspective: A review of the neurophysiology of spontaneous tongue protrusion and, more generally, the role of sub-cortical motor control of the tongue in the perinatal developmental of aerodigestion. Following Thelens terminology (1988), we re-cast tongue protrusion as a spontaneous rhythmical stereotypy, one that likely plays a role in neural path finding during the perinatal period. Our suggestion does not logically preclude the possibility that neonates can imitate tongue protrusion. But seeing spontaneous tongue protrusion in the context the neurophysiology of neonatal suckling, respiration and swallowing makes Meltzoff and Moores claims far less plausible. We also suggest that, despite good prima facie evidence for the imitation of this gesture, tongue protrusion is likely an effect of general arousal or of the internal state/s of the neonate that normally affect rhythmical perinatal movements.

ABSTRACT. The distinction between black and white and colour comes from the realm of public objects: a black and white photograph represents only the intensity information reflected from the scene whereas a colour photograph contains wavelength information as well. The difference between a black and white and a colour photograph is just the addition of hue and saturation, or wavelength information, to the intensity image. It is often assumed, on this basis, that visual systems follow a similar divide: a luminance system encodes intensity information and a chromatic system brings wavelength information to the table. It therefore seems natural to conclude that a rod achromat, who has only one type of photoreceptor and hence only luminance vision, must see the world in black and white. And hence what the rod achromat lacks, and what the trichromat has, are just the colours. In this paper, I try to untangle the various assumptions that are made above, starting with the difference between a luminance and a chromatic system. Strangely, given only a luminance system, the rod achromatics visual experience is also tied to wavelength differences in the world even if the achromats does not differentiate between intensity and wavelength differences in the world. Nor can the achromat make objective assessments about the darkness or lightness of objects, despite seeing, as has been said, in black and white. In the end, the distinction between black and white and colour does not map smoothly onto the distinction between luminance and chromatic systemsand, as a result, we must rethink the differences in visual phenomenology between a rod achromat and a trichromat, as well as our understanding of what a system for object colour or object lightness and darkness adds to any visual system.
"More than Mere Colouring: The Role of Spectral Information in Human Vision." Akins, K. and Hahn, M. British Journal of Philosophy of Science. In press. This paper is available in draft form HERE.Please do not copy or quote.
ABSTRACT. A common view in both philosophy and the vision sciences is that, in human vision, wavelength information is primarily for colouring, for seeing surfaces and various media as having colours. In this article we examine this assumption of colour-for-colouring. To motivate the need for an alternative theory, we begin with three major puzzles from neurophysiology, puzzles that are not explained by the standard theory. We then ask about the role of wavelength information in vision writ large. How might wavelength information be used by any monochromat or dichromat and, finally, by a trichromatic primate with object vision? We suggest that there is no single advantage to trichromaticity but a multiplicity, only one of which is the ability to see surfaces, etc. as having categorical colours. Instead, the human trichromatic retina exemplifies a scheme for a general encoding of wavelength information given the constraints imposed by high spatial-resolution object vision. Chromatic vision, like its partner, luminance vision, is primarily for seeing. Viewed this way, the puzzles presented at the outset make perfect sense.
"Grapheme-color synaesthesia benefits rule-based category learning". Watson, M., Blair, M., Kozik, P., Akins, K. & Enns, J.T. Consciousness and Cognition. In Press. Available online July 2, 2012. Watson, Blair et al.pdf
ABSTRACT. Researchers have long suspected that grapheme-color synaesthesia is useful, but research on its utility has so far focused primarily on episodic memory and perceptual discrimination. Here we ask whether it can be harnessed during rule-based Category learning. Participants learned through trial and error to classify grapheme pairs that were organized into categories on the basis of their associated synaesthetic colors. The performance of synaesthetes was similar to non-synaesthetes viewing graphemes that were physically colored in the same way. Specifically, synaesthetes learned to categorize stimuli effectively, they were able to transfer this learning to novel stimuli, and they falsely recognized grapheme-pair foils, all like non-synaesthetes viewing colored graphemes. These findings demonstrate that synaesthesia can be exploited when learning the kind of material taught in many classroom settings.
"Second-order mappings in grapheme-color synesthesia". Watson, M., Akins,K. & Enns, J. Psychonomics Bulletin and Review 19(2), 211-217, 2012. Watson, Akins et al.pdf
ABSTRACT. Typically, the search for order in graphemecolor synesthesia has been conducted by looking at the frequency of certain lettercolor associations. Here, we report stronger associations when second-order similarity mappings are examinedspecifically, mappings between the synesthetic colors of letters and letter shape, frequency, and position in the alphabet. The analyses demonstrate that these relations are independent of one other. More strikingly, our analyses show that each of the lettercolor mappings is restricted to one dimension of color, with letter shape and ordinality linked to hue, and letter frequency linked to luminance. These results imply that synesthetic associations are acquired as the alphabet is learned, with associations involving letter shape, ordinality, and frequency being made independently and idiosyncratically. Because these mappings of similarity structure between domains (letters and colors) are similar to those found in numerous other cognitive and perceptual domains, they imply that synesthetic associations operate on principles common to many aspects of human cognition.

"A Bat Without Qualities", in Consciousness, M. Davies and G. Humphreys eds. (Oxford: Blackwells), pp. 258-73, 1993.A Bat Without Qualities
ABSTRACT. Thomas Nagel has claimed, famously, that we could never understand the point of view, the perceptual experience, of the bat, even if we knew all there was to know about the neurophysiology and behaviour of the bat. Nagel offers a number of reasons why this should be but here I look at the intuitive pull that Nagels argument exerts upon us. Intuitively, it is hard to see how any descriptionof neurophysiological states, behaviors or even ones own first person recounting of perceptual eventcould convey the very feel of a event described, at least not without having experienced the same event oneself. Yet if we cannot convey to others even very simple qualitative states There is a difference between the qualitative and the representational/neurophysiological aspects of experience, and science can describe only the latter. This paper tries to up-end the assumption that we have a grasp of the difference between the representational and qualitative aspects of experience. Given very simple perceptual situations, e.g. hearing middle C or seeing a red patch of light on a white wall, such a distinction seems imaginable. Given a more complex perceptual scene, however, we can neither gesture towards nor explain what it would be to have a perceptual experience as non-intentional or purely qualitative. Our intuition that we can so separate our perceptual experience into two aspects is illusoryand hence there is little reason to think that we know what would and would not be explained if we had extensive neurophysiological/behavioural/functional knowledge.

We found a helpful tool for moms who have questions about the Affordable Care Act and how to get their insurance-covered pump. Medela launched a new breastpump navigator tool to help expecting moms and dads take advantage of the breastpump and lactation support coverage provided to them under the Affordable Care Act (ACA). Many moms-to-be are not aware that they can get a breastpump covered by their insurance. Medela created a service that would allow consumers to easily find an insurance-covered breastpump, determine what is the right breastpump to meet mom's breastfeeding goals, find out which suppliers offer the ability to upgrade the breastpump package, and obtain educational information about breastfeeding and tips for engaging insurance companies and suppliers about the new benefit. The supplier lookup is a new tool that asks consumers to simply select their insurance provider and their state in order to find the local and national suppliers that could provide them with an insurance-covered Medela breastpump. The results also note other services each supplier provides from lactation consulting to rental pumps to other breastfeeding accessories. Please see below for a complete list of tools to help moms navigate breastfeeding coverage under the ACA:
• Find an Insurance-Covered Pump: Moms simply enter their insurance carrier and state to find a list of suppliers and their contact information. The search results will also indicate which suppliers have lactation services. Medela's supplier lookup will continue to expand as more information is provided to them by suppliers.
• Insurance Coverage Research - What It Means to You: A top line summary of what insurance companies told Medela about how moms can obtain the breastpump they need for their babies. (Check out this infographic for a quick visual of the results.) Examples tips:
• You don't have to go without. Most plans require you to get your pump from an in-network provider. However, 76% of plans surveyed are also flexible if the covered pump isn't available, letting you choose another pump or even reimbursing your purchase from a retail store. Just ask!
• You don't have to go it alone. Breastfeeding moms, rejoice! Nearly all plans cover lactation counseling without a co-pay. Pump coverage + lactation support = successful breastfeeding more accessible to more moms.
• Coverage Questions You Should Ask Your Insurance Company: Scenarios moms may find themselves in and the questions they should ask their insurance providers
Here are a few other additional resources we think you may be interested in:
• Breastfeeding University: Breastfeeding University is an online education program that walks moms through what to expect during pregnancy as their bodies change and develop, at the hospital, how to transition to home, and how to advocate for herself and her baby. Share this code with your network to allow free access to the program: DAYjS6TJ6
• Understanding health care reform: Need help understanding more about health care marketplaces? This healthcare.gov site provides an overview and answers to frequently asked questions on health care reform.
• iBreastfeed: The iBreastfeed iPhone and iPad app supports provides helpful information and practical advice. It can help manage baby's daily activities and features a locator to find breastfeeding friendly places. iBreastfeed is free and can be downloaded on iTunes.
• Video Library: Visit the online video library where moms can learn everything from how to easily put together a pump to how to enjoy the breastfeeding bond longer.
• Ask the LC: Have a question about breastfeeding? Moms can consult one-on-one via email with a board-certified lactation consultant (LC) who will assist with breastfeeding questions.

While we're constantly working to improve the performance of the Popfly Game Creator, there are a number of tweaks you can make to your games right now to improve your users' frame rate.
Right now, there are two main bottlenecks for games created using Popfly and depending on the characteristics of your game, one or the other can probably help you.
Today we'll talk about the biggest perf. hit for most games, which is collision detection between a large number of actors. There are a number of ways to address this.
The easiest trick is to make as many actors as possible non-solid:
This is a per state property, so if your actor has multiple states, make sure you set it for each one. When an actor is non-solid, it's collision bounds will be drawn in blue instead of red.
When an actor is non-solid, it will no longer push or get pushed when it collides with other actors. This allows us to skip testing it for collisions except when there is a collision listener whose event includes the actor. Even then we only have to test it against other actors that are included as the other actor on the same event.
The next approach is to limit the number of actors you use on any scene. While this can lead to a less compelling game, but if your game is bottlenecked on collision checking, it is guaranteed to increase performance.
If neither of the above is desirable, you can also increase performance by limiting the motion of your actors. When an actor has not moved, it often allows us to skip testing it in parts of our collision detection. This also improves Silverlight drawing performance (which we'll talk more about tomorrow) since we will not have to update the Silverlight plugin and Silverlight will not have to re-render the actor in its new position.
Finally, if you are spawning new actors throughout the course of your game (through shoot behaviors, Appear behaviors, effects etc) there are a couple of things you can do to keep things snappy.
First, make sure you limit the lifetime of the spawned actors. Leaving the "disappear on scene leave" behaviors intact helps with this since once the actor reaches the edge of the screen, the actor will be removed from the game keeping the total number of actors low. Second, limit the rate at which new actors are added. For example, if you allow the player to shoot, try limiting the rate of fire by setting a property to 1 on your actor when the player presses the fire button, then clear the property to 0 on a timer. Then simply add a filter to the fire behavior to only allow the player to fire when the property is 0. Alternately, you can limit the # of bullets the player can fire at once by filtering on the # of BulletName property (you may have to copy the value of this property locally to your actor from the scene using an "every frame" timer). Lastly, you can throttle down the rate at which your enemies fire when there are a lot of enemies on the screen through custom code or using a filter on # of EnemyBulletName.
Hopefully these tips will help those of you with games whose performance is bound by the total number of actors. Because naive collision detection's performance is an O(N^2 ) problem (where N is the number of actors, adding one more actor will cause another N + 1 collision checks to take place), adding actors can quickly cause problems. Using the tips above can really improve performance. If you're having trouble after following these tips or they aren't helping, be sure to head to the forums where other users and members of the Popfly team can help.
Tomorrow I'll follow up with Part 2 where I will provide some tips for creating actors that are easy for Silverlight to draw and also help keep Popfly's game engine running fast. Stay tuned.

We would like to thank all of our supporters and patrons for making the 2014-2015 concert season a rousing success! Over 900 patrons enjoyed the closing performance of our season as we celebrated our freedom with a patriotic concert featuring a 100 member community chorus and a flag presentation by the American Legion Post 164.

Our first performance on October 18 is titled "All Aboard/All About Katy" and will feature music that paints a picture of what made Katy, Texas what it is today...from railroads to rice fields. This concert performance will be the local premiere of "Asenet" composed by Mr. Gabe Musella.
On December 13, the Band will present "Rejoice!" featuring favorites of the Christmas and Chanukah season. This performance will also feature a guest performance by the 100+ member choir from Odessa Kilpatrick Elementary and a guest appearance from Santa himself!
On February 28, the Band will present "From Boots to Broadway". This concert will be sure to leave you humming tunes out the door as we feature music from movies and musicals, while giving it a true Texas flair in "Lone Star" fashion!
The performance on April 24, titled "Summer Is On Its Way!" will be sure to get you ready for the dog days of summer as we feature music related to vacations and travel and is sure to be a cure for the summertime blues.
We close our 2015-2016 season with our final concert on June 26 titled "This Is My Country...". This performance will again feature the Lone Star Communty Chorus and is guaranteed to bring out all of your emotions as we celebrate our great nation!

The audiotape of Tom Sizemore telling his friends about an affair between Bill Clinton and Elizabeth Hurley was real. But Tom's story was a lie and he has issued a public apology to everyone involved. Hours after the Bill Clinton - Elizabeth Hurley story went viral, an embarrassed Tom Sizemore confessed that his story about Bill Clinton's infidelity was false and apologized. News reports on Feb. 6 from Us magazine, and on Feb. 5 from the Huffington Post and Radar Online carry Tom's account of how the misunderstanding occurred.
The Ravings of a Drug Addicted Actor
Before Tom's apology and explanation, many people were all too willing to believe his elaborately detailed story of Clinton cheating on Hillary with Elizabeth Hurley in the White house right under Hillary's nose. See Bill Clinton - Elizabeth Hurley Affair Revealed on Secret Audio Tape.
Elizabeth Hurley immediately took to her Twitter account to inform her 500,000 followers that Tom's story was false. See Elizabeth Hurley Denies Bill Clinton Affair, Is Tom Sizemore Telling Lies? But Bill Clinton's past infidelity (the Clinton-Lewinski affair and his rumored affairs with Gennifer Flowers and Paula Jones) raised the possibility that there was a chance Tom's story might be true.
However Tom's apology makes it clear that his rambling story was nothing more than a figment of his imagination. See Bill Clinton - Elizabeth Hurley Affair Revealed on Secret Audio Tape. Hillary Clinton can rest easy because Tom refers to his recorded conversation as the ravings of a drug-addicted actor.
Tom says he hasn't really heard the audio tape himself but he thinks that it's an old tape recorded years before he went to rehab to get his (well documented) drug addiction and substance abuse problem under control.
Tom's Sheepish Apology and Explanation for What He Said
Not only was the entire story made up, Tom confesses that he has never even been to the White House, has never met Bill Clinton, and has no idea if Clinton and Elizabeth Hurley even know each other. He admits that the things he said in that taped conversation were all a lies. See Bill Clinton - Elizabeth Hurley Affair Revealed on Secret Audio Tape. Tom sheepishly admits that the closest he's ever been to the White House was a screening of "Black Hawk Down" at a theater a few blocks away.
In his videotaped apology Tom says the Clinton-Hurley infidelity story was a drug-induced lie he made up to impress his friends. Tom has a well-documented history of drug abuse and appeared on "Celebrity Rehab in 2010. Tom says he has been drug-free now for over 4 ½ years.
Tom's Manager Tells of Blackmail Attempt
Of course a bizarre story like this with incriminating audio taped evidence would be incomplete without money being involved in some way. Tom's manager, Charles Lago, who appeared with him during the apology which was videotaped by HuffPostLive tells how an unidentified woman made a blackmail attempt.
According to Lago, he first learned of the audiotape when an unidentified female contacted him by phone in December and tried to shake him down. She wanted $20,000 in exchange for a tape in her possession that could potentially destroy Tom Sizemore's career. The woman called back later and dropped her asking price to $10,000. She also sent Lago some text messages with screen grabs from the videotape and dropped her price to $6000. Lago says after discussing the incident with Tom, they both decided not to pay.
They found out the mystery woman's phone had been disconnected when they attempted to call her back. Now, under the circumstances, Tom, his manager, and his attorneys are considering the feasibility of turning the text messages over to the police.

Tour Description
According to legend, when God finished painting the sky, he washed his brushes in the river that now bears the name Rio Celeste (light blue river). Enjoy this legendary river on this hike!
We start off from the hotel at 8:00 a.m. When we get to the park, we start our hike through this beautiful ecosystem, which offers the chance to see animals and flora. Along the walk we will come across the magnificent Rio Celeste waterfall, and also the place where the river gains its amazing light blue color. Finally we arrive at the natural hot springs. Bathing is not allowed into the National Park.
Walk: 4 to 5 hours, total 7 kilometers
What to bring: hiking shoes or sneakers and lots of energy. Optional: sun block, camera, hat
We include: Water bottle, fruit, poncho if raining, guide and admission fee to the park
Note on the Rio Celeste: It is possible that during extreme weather conditions of ongoing, long-lasting, heavy rains, the river may lose its coloration due to mud carried in the water. However, about 5 or 6 hours of calm weather can restore the expected blue color. Otherwise, Rio Celeste can be visited any time of the year.
Departure time: 8:00 a.m. or 1:30 p.m.
Return: 12:30 p.m. or 6:00 p.m.
Price: $45 per person

I'm trying to prove that the primes with form $3k+1$ are not Eisenstein prime. This step: to find $a$ such that $a^2-a\equiv -1\pmod p$ when $p$ is a prime with $p\equiv 1\pmod 3$ is the only obstacle now, and I have thought of many methods, but none of them work.
I know that when proving prime of form $p=4n+1$ aren't Gaussian primes, we need $a$ such that $a^2 \equiv -1\pmod p$. This can be obtained by Wilson's theorem, that $(4n)!\equiv -1\pmod p$, which gives $(4n)!\equiv(1\times 2\times \cdots \times(2n))((-2n)\times\cdots\times(-2)\times(-1))=(1\times 2\times \cdots \times(2n))^2\pmod p$. And this constructs the $a$ we want.
But in this case, things are different. I've tried via mathematica, that the $(3k)!$ or $(6m)!$ cannot be factorized into $a(a-1)$. Such as $720=24\times30$. But when I minus some multiple of the primes, it becomes $24\times 23\equiv-1(\mod 7)$. This special case can't give me more details. So I wonder if there is some method to find $a$ or prove existence without finding it? Only hints are needed! Thanks!

HAIR DISEASE » Hair Injury (Scarring Alopecia)
Folliculitis Keloidalis Nuchae
From article:
Inflamed hair follicles progress to acne-like lesions and eventual formation of the lumpy scars called keloids. Incidence is higher in people of African ancestry, who also have a genetic predisposition to form keloidal scars after injury. The lesions of folliculitis keloidalis nuchae occur frequently on the back of the neck just below the hairline, but also can involve the scalp. Cause of the condition is unknown.

Nice find, but many here consider it bad form to say "free shipping" unless it's "free shipping with no strings attached.
For free super-saver (or with prime) I usually just say it in the description.
@tsfisch: It's free shipping. Strings or no strings. Does a rebate not count as a discount because you have to go through extra steps? Here's the better question: Why do you care? Why not just pass over the post and leave it alone? And for what it's worth, I've been around here for quite some time. Why should those of us that have prime not have an outlet to see deals that benefit us, just because you don't have it? And again... Why do you care?
@claudicina: It's not free shipping, it's free shipping over $25. This item is not over $25 so it's not free shipping.
I was just trying to politely help you post deals in a way that the community approves of (search in the "questions" section if you don't believe me). There was absolutely no reason to be snarky.
@tsfisch: Thanks for the help. You're a swell chap.
@tsfisch and @claudicina: What am I going to do with you two? Don't make me pull this car over to the side of the road. Quit downvoting each other (yes, yes you are, don't argue with me, or there will be a time out). Arguing is fine, gentlemanly disagreement is fine, and shrinky-dinks crack me up (but the smell from the oven is enough to make me want to never do that again, EVER).
Behave. I mean it.
{Yes, I upvoted each of your comments that were at zero. Downvoting makes me sad. :-( Except for spammers, of course.}
