We have just launched Cashew Butter, Smooth, 1kg Tub. Cashew Butter is a great tasting, natural source of healthy protein, carbohydrates and fats made from roasted cashew nuts. It can be used as a spread, incooking or just eaten on its own as a healthy snack and contains over 20% protein.
The Myprotein Thermal Water Bottle is the perfect bottle for keeping your drink either hot or cold throughout your training session. A recent study showed that consuming a cold drink (4°C) during exercise reduces the rise in core body temperature when compared to consuming a room temperature drink. Reducing core body temperature may result in better exercise adherence and performance.
If you're a fan or peanut butter with a weakness for chocolate then you simply have to try these Homemade Peanut Butter Slices. Using Instant Oats and our 100% natural Peanut Butter, this is a great recipe to combine some delicious chocolate and biscuits with your Myprotein favourites.

Hello, another new guy here. Been lurking around for a couple months now.
Last night I decided to print and cut out some of WoF's templates on some spare aluminum sheets I had.
Not bad for a first try, in my opinion. I'm surprised the curves cut so nicely.
Not liking the cod piece though, tried shaping it and I am unhappy with the job I did...
I look forward to your advice/suggestions and spending more time on here!

Winter driving tips
Winter can be one of the most dangerous times to drive. Consider these tips so you know how to act in a winter-related emergency. Don't let this be you as you travel during the winter season.PHOTO: flickr: Derrick Coetzee
Icy roads, cause your tires to lose traction. When approaching a stop, you should begin breaking from a distance and leave yourself three times the space between you and the car in front of you to avoid running into any vehicles. -National Safety CouncilPHOTO: flickr: angeloangelo
Break gradually, but if you notice your wheels locking up take your foot off the break. Never slam on your breaks.-National Safety Council
You should always drive with your lights on in light or heavy winter conditions. Before you leave your location, check your lights to make sure they are working correctly. -National Safety CouncilPHOTO: flickr: OregonDOT
Clean your windshield, wipers, and lights.-National Safety CouncilPHOTO: flickr: emilydickinsonridesabmx
Get a grip!
Low gears are the best way to gain traction, even on hills. -National Safety Council
Unfortunately, it's imperative that you be able to react to whatever condition the road is in. Cruise control is dangerous on icy roads so avoid using it at all costs. -National Safety Council

Areas that don't get a lot of traffic may freeze first, even when temperatures are above freezing. Be alert while crossing these bridges and roads. Be aware of the possible icy areas that aren't visible as well. -National Safety CouncilPHOTO: flickr: big-ashb
Don't overtake a snow plow truck no matter how much of a hurry you are in. Allow them to do their job so you can get where you are going safely. -National Safety CouncilPHOTO: flickr: ww3billard
Any car, four wheel or front wheel, can have difficulties in winter conditions. Keep that in mind.

What do you do if your rear wheels skid?PHOTO: flickr: David HT
Ease off the gas.PHOTO: flickr: DavidHT
Steer into the direction your rear tires are going. For example, if your car is skidding left, turn the car left while gently pumping the breaks, if they are standard breaks.PHOTO: flickr: DavidHT
However, if your car has anti-lock brakes (ABS), push hard on them instead of pumping to regain control, while also steering in the direction you are skidding.PHOTO: flickr: DavidHT
What about if your front wheels skid?PHOTO: flickr: Henrique_Vecente
A front wheel skid occurs when the front wheels do not go in the direction of the steering wheel.PHOTO: flickr: Henrique_Vecente
Your front wheels need traction. Gently release the gas pedal and press the break to add weight to the front of the car and thus regain traction. Don't slam the breaks because that could lock them, and make situations worse.PHOTO: flickr: Henrique_Vecente
Getting in stuck in the snow is a scary thought, but can happen. Here's how you should handle this situation.PHOTO: flickr: emilydickinsonridesabmx
"Do not spin your wheels. This will only dig you in deeper. Then, use a light touch on the gas, to ease your car out."-National Safety CouncilPHOTO: flickr: emilydickinsonridesabmx
"Turn your wheels from side to side a few times to push snow out of the way."- National Safety CouncilPHOTO: flickr: emilydickinsonridesabmx
"Use a shovel to clear snow away from the wheels and the underside of the car."-National Safety CouncilPHOTO: flickr: R.Kyle
"Pour sand, kitty litter, gravel or salt in the path of the wheels, to help get traction."- National Safety CouncilPHOTO: flickr: emilydickinsonridesabmx
Try rocking the vehicle. (Check your owner's manual first — it can damage the transmission on some vehicles.) Shift from forward to reverse, and back again. "- National Safety CouncilPHOTO: flickr: net_efekt
Another way to avoid accidents is to prepare early by winterizing your car.PHOTO: flickr: Benimoto
"Checking the ignition, brakes, wiring, hoses and fan belts."-National Safety CouncilPHOTO: flickr: jekert gwapo

I just got done watching "NFL Top 10 Toughest Acts To Follow." So I was thinking who will be hard to replace after they retire or get released/fired from the giants? Eli or Tom Coughlin
Its very close for me but i believe it's Eli Manning. Eli was one of most scritinized athlete of this generation in the NFL and kinda still is even though it has died down a lot after last year. I remembered when he wasn't in the NFL top 100 a few years ago because other Nfl player didnt respect his game. Some people even said he wasn't even a better quarterback than his mother. Imo, Eli has the most pressure to succeed in the NFL and here are some reasons:
1)He was the 1st overall pick in the draft
2)He's in a storied franchise and in a big city market
3)He's the younger brother of a future hall of famer and son of a hall of famer
4)Had the audacity to want to get traded before he even drafted (made some people upset)
5)He's in a Great quarterback draft class
I think he will retire not only as one of the best quarterback but as one of the toughest quarterback in the generation and that will be hard to follow.
your thoughts???

The apartment is recently renovated and it is composed of 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom, 1-living room, a kitchen and a wide private garden area. The bedroom is small and simple, but pleasant, with a queen bed.
The living room has a sofa that can fold out into a queen-sized bed in case of 3 or 4 people staying. A set of glass doors lead out onto a large patio/garden area, which is decorated with green plants and flowers, and a small table and chairs to relax out in summer evenings.
The kitchen, next to the living room, also has a door leading directly out onto the patio and it's newly renovated with all the necessities - stove, oven, fridge, teapot, coffee maker, and cooking and eating utensils.
The bathroom (with shower, no tub) is in the main hallway next to the bedroom and it's newly renovated as well. The apartment, which has air-conditioning, is near a busy street, but set in the back part of the building so that you don't get any traffic noise. You can hear the traffic a bit while you're on the patio, but not enough to be bothersome.
The location is central enough so that it's easy to get around the city by bus or metro and even on foot.
You can reach S. Peter ( the Vatican ) in 20 minutes walking and when you are there you are in the center and continue to walk!!!!!
Anyway many and frequent buses ( 98 -46B - 881 - 916 . 571 ) run in the parallel street Via Gregorio VII at a short distance from the apartment. Buses 98 - 881 - 46B have their terminal just beyond the river at the boundary of the historical centre. From there you can walk to visit Piazza Navona, Pantheon and all the historical center. Bus 916 has its terminal in Piazza Venezia, close to the Capitolium and Roman Forum. Bus 571 is comparable to a turistic bus as it crosses the city ( Corso Vittorio - piazza Venezia - Roman Forum - Colosseum - S. Giovanni - Santa Croce in Gerusalemme ).
At the other end of the street -in Via Aurelia -you will find the bus stop of bus 49 which in 5 ninutes reaches the Vatican Museum and leaves you just in front of the main entrance.
You can also reach metro A in a few minutes taking bus 31, 33, 247.
In the immediate neighborhood of the apartment you'll find plenty of supermarkets, shops, restaurants, and coffee bars.
The area is very safe at any time. Very close to the apartment there is a big bar-restaurant open day and night.
Domovní řádPlease, have care of everything in the apartment and do not smoke inside.
You can smoke ouside in the patio.

We really enjoyed our stay in Rome and at Rosa's apartment. Rosa and her husband received us warmly and told us everything we needed to know. The apartment has everything you could wish for.
In August 2016 i stayed in Rosa´s flat with my daughter and my son. The flat is very nice and clean, you find everything like you see it on the fotos. Very good is the Aircondition. Near the flat are two supermarkets and the bus line to the historic centre. It´s only 20 minutes by feet to the st. peters cathedral. Rosa and her husband picked us up at the Metro Station when we arrived at roma. The two are very friendly and polite. We had a great time in roma.
Thank you.
when we arrived, Sandro, Rosa's husband welcomed us and explained everything we needed to know. then he showed us the area, and a very nice bar near the flat, where we all had a coffee together. he adviced us about shops, transport etc., which was very helpful. we immediately felt like home:)
the flat is completely renovated and the look is very nice. 4 people have enough space. the bed and sofa are very comfortable.if you like to cook, everything is there.
an extra plus of the flat is the terrace, with lots of plants. we definetely would like to come back and recommend this flat to everybody who likes to have some comfort, and wants to stay close to the Vatikan and the center of Rome.
It was a pleasureable journey in Rome. The apartment was the ideal place to start excursion and for a rest after exploring the city. It is lovely. Nearby are a lot of bus stations from where you can reach the Vatican museums, Piazza Cafour or Piazza Venetia. Thank you for a very good stay.
Rosa and Sandro are great hosts, likeable and ready to help. They live not far way from the apartment and both are speaking English, Sandro speaks French as well.
The apartment is well kept and quiet. We ( grand parents and 18 year old grandson) slept very well during our 6-day stay in Rome.In the evenings we prepared delicious meals in the small but well equipped kitchen (food bought in the nearby supermarket) and enjoyed iur meals in the nice living room.
The Vatican City and the Centre of Rome with all its famous sights can comfortably and quickly be reached , either by walking ( we did this on the first day) or by bus (several bus lines are running close 'round the corner', one even throughout the night , and the tickets are not expensive).
At our arrival we took a taxi at the airport, sent Sandro a sms and when we arrived he was waiting in front of the house. In case we had decided for the Sitbusshuttle , he had picked us up with his car at the bus station.Very helpful!
First we got a detailed introduction into everything concerning the apartment and then Sandro showed and explained us the bus stops, shops and restaurants in the neighbourhood.
We really enjoyed staying in the apartment and send again many thanks to Rosa and Sandro for the nice tour by car to places we had not found ourselves and for the aperitif at their home afterwards.
German version, if wanted:
Rosa und Sandro sind sehr sympathische und hilfsbereite Gastgeber. Sie wohnen in der Nähe des Apartments ; beide sprechen englisch, Sandro auch französisch.
Die Wohnung ist sehr gepflegt und ruhig. Wir (Großeltetn und Enkel. 18) haben während unseres 6-tägigen Aufenthaltes gut geschlafen und in der kleinen aber gut ausgestatteten Küche schmackhafte Abendessen zubereitet (gekauft im nahegelegenen Supermarkt) und im gemütlichen Wohnzimmer genossen.
Der Vatikan und das Zentrum von Rom mit all seinen Sehenswürdigkeiten sind bequem und schnell zu erreichen: entweder zu Fuß (was wir am ersten Tag gemacht haben) oder mit dem Bus. Mehrere Buslinien, auch eine Nachtlinie, sind ganz in der Nähe und die Tickets sind nicht teuer.
Bei unserer Ankunft am Flughafen nahmen wir eun Taxi, schickten Sandro eine sms und wurden von ihm vor dem Haus empfangen.Wenn wir den Sitbusshuttle genommen hätten, hätte uns Sandro mit dem Auto an der Bushaltestelle abgeholt. Sehr hilfsbereit!
Wir erhielten eine ausführliche Einführung in die Wohnung und danach zeigte und erklärte uns Sandro die Bushaltestelken. Geschäfte und Restaurants in der Umgebung.
Wir haben uns in der Wohnung sehr wohl gefühlt und danken noch einmal Rosa und Sandro für die wunderbare Autotour zu Plätzen, die wir alleine nicht gefunden hätten und für die Einladung zum anschließenden Aperitif in ihrer Wohnung.
This comfortable, clean and individually equipped apartment with a large,
wonderful and mostly shady terrace makes you feel at home at once. A supermarket, a restaurant and bus stops are just around the corner. And whenever you have got a question just call the owners, one of them will give you the
information you need or even show you around. Thanks to Sandro who took
us to wonderful places we probably wouldn't have found easily, we spent a gorgeous evening sightseeing, talking and enjoying his company.
The hosts, Rosa and her husband, are very kind. They picked us up at the Vaticano bus station (saving us a trip into the center of Rome) and showed us around the neighborhood to get us oriented. They showed us the bus stops, but we are serious walkers and so the 18 minute walk to the Vatican, plus 5-10 minutes to get into the center of town was not a problem for us.
The apartment is clean, pleasant, and equipped with iron and hair dryer.
It has two beds. The sofa bed is as confortable as a regular bed.
The kitchen is kind of narrow, but has oil and spices (and a useful shopping bag).
There's Wifi.
BTW while there is a bus to the metro, the two times we took the metro, we just walked up the street Via Richelmy, crossed Via Aurelia, continued straight forward (one soon comes to stairs), and were at the subway in ten minutes. Alternately one can go up Richelmy, cross the short bridge at Via Aurelia, and then immediately go left (one then sees a gas station ahead of one). This way one has a wider sidewalk to walk to the subway, and it's the better choice if you have luggage with wheels.
We have had a great holiday in Rosas apartment near the Vatican in Rome. Nice and cozy apartment with a large terresse. Rosa and her husband were very good hosts. They picked us up at the train and drove us to the apartment. They showed us the apartment and told where we could buy groceries and take the bus. I can definitely recommend a stay in Rosaa apartment in Rome.
The host were very kind and helpful to us in any ways - more than we did expect.
It is a lovely appartment and patio, and we felt at home from the very beginning.
There was present no WiFi connection, but connection to the internet by an USB-modem and a SIM-card to a tablet.

On Thursday, in a rare speech to a joint session of Congress, President Barack Obama proposed a plan to stimulate the economy. The $447 billion package, known as the American Jobs Act, includes $263 billion in tax cuts and $194 billion in new spending. The plan is meant to create jobs and boost the struggling U.S. economy, where unemployment remains high and 14 million people are still out of work.
"The purpose of the American Jobs Act is simple," Obama said to Congress during the televised address. "To put more people back to work, and more money in the pockets of those who are working." The President will officially send the full bill to Congress later this month.
The Proposal
Obama's biggest proposal calls for lowering the Social Security payroll tax for workers. The Social Security system collects money from working Americans and pays out to people who are retired or disabled. Obama says the additional payroll tax cut would save an average family making $50,000 a year about $1,500. The plan also includes extra incentives for businesses that hire new workers or that give raises. Small businesses would receive tax breaks for hiring veterans or workers who have been unemployed for more than six months.
Obama also asked for more funding for highways, schools and other construction projects, and for money to help states keep and hire teachers and police officers. The White House says the proposal would prevent about 280,000 teacher layoffs and modernize 35,000 schools.
A Political Battle
During his speech, Obama urged lawmakers to act quickly in passing the bill. "This plan is the right thing to do right now," Obama told Congress. "You should pass it. And I intend to take that message to every corner of this country."
But the President may face a battle in getting the full act passed. While Republicans are traditionally in favor of tax cuts, they don't think the government should be increasing spending when the national debt is so high. "The proposals the President outlined tonight merit consideration," Republican Speaker of the House John Boehner said. "We hope he gives serious consideration to our ideas as well." Obama says the plan would be paid for completely and would not add to the national debt, but he has yet to release the details.
Speaking at the University of Richmond on Friday, in Virginia, the President stood firmly by his newly unveiled plan. "I'm asking all of you to lift up your voices," he said to the crowd. "I want you to tell your congressperson the time for gridlock and games is over, the time for action is now."

Father David Garcia is a senior advisor at CRS, working with members of the clergy. He is based at the agency's headquarters in Baltimore.
Not long ago, I was giving a talk to some Catholic grade-school students about our responsibility to those in need throughout the world. As my talk continued I noticed a fifth-grade student who raised his hand and kept it up all the while I spoke. Finally, curious about his persistence, I asked him what he had to say.
He shared that he had asked his parents not to give him any gifts last Christmas and, instead, to send that money to an organization that buys malaria nets for poor children overseas. He had learned how malaria, which can easily be prevented, kills thousands of children each year in developing countries. He also read that malaria nets, at $10 each, were a part of effective prevention. His contribution had bought several nets. He had saved lives with his simple sacrifice.
That fifth-grader is smarter than most of us. He certainly is more compassionate and puts his faith into action more than most people. He is one bright sign of hope in an often darkened world. He lives out a spirit of thanks.
This Thanksgiving finds many people wondering what to give thanks for. It certainly has been a hard, dark year, especially due to the economic crisis which has caused sacrifices, cutbacks and suffering to significant numbers of people. Millions of jobs have been lost and are slow to come back. The dream of a family home has been snuffed out for many families despite their best efforts. We have all had to cut back and live without things we had grown accustomed to.
Yes, these are hard times. However, without diminishing in any way the current struggles of many Americans, we can put things into perspective when we take a world view. I have had the privilege and the pain to see and learn more about global poverty and the heroic people who combat it since joining the staff of Catholic Relief Services, the official international humanitarian agency of the U.S. Catholic community.
The news is grim. Hunger is a reality for almost half of the planet. AIDS, malaria, tuberculosis and other diseases affect and kill millions, especially children, who have little access to health care. Natural disasters devastate huge areas and even whole countries that have few resources with which to recover. Armed conflicts kill, injure and displace thousands of innocent people every year.
Many immigrants in this country know well the struggles and suffering in their native lands. They remember it. They still hear from relatives and friends in those areas who are often simply trying to survive.
When times are so tough, what is there to give thanks for? Thanks springs from the human heart that realizes that in the final analysis we are all dependent on God and God is good. We are blessed. We have been given gifts. We need to recognize them, count them. We must respond by being a gift to others. We must live our lives in that spirit of gratitude and put that spirit into action, action that touches and gives hope to others, especially those in need. Maybe that is why we use the term "dia de accion de gracias" when naming this day. It means that thanks is only lived when we put it into action, when we give to others.
We must be committed to each other. We must understand we are in this world together, in solidarity, as one human family. When difficult times come, we don't just ask why this has happened to us. Instead, we ask how we can carry this together. We ask how we can be supportive of each other and not just look out for ourselves, even though we have legitimate needs.
We were somehow all put into this world together at this time for a purpose. To give thanks is to do whatever it takes to pull together, and especially to pull up those who need an extra hand, whether they are across the street, across the border or across the world. We must be people of thanks, putting that thanks into action, and helping spread our many gifts around especially for those who need us the most.
I read recently that in the midst of the Great Depression people were still generous in giving and sharing what they had. I am convinced the same can happen now, this Thanksgiving.
You can see it in a fifth-grader.

"Thanks in action is Thanksgiving Lived." Very eloquent lead in to a truth tinged testimony. Thank. You Father for such a well contrived piece here. On a personal note it reminded me of some friends I've been blessed to make on the Cheyenne River Reservation just a few states away. One thing I have noticed in my trips there is the binary truth of their gripping poverty and struggle but on the other side of it and equally true is their strong family relations and often families come together to pray and so have a source of great happiness and tranquility. I often think this is how they as a people have persevered such a trying time for their Tribe over the last few hundred years. It is true what you say in your piece about the little boy. How many of us have or really or living out in a constant presence the true witness of Faith, Hope, and Charity. This boys actions speak clearly to those great Catholic Virtues we strive so hard for with One humble and sincere Act from a boy in the Spirit. May we all learn from such things as these. May Little Flower Therese of Liseaux pray for us that we can learn to do the little and mundane things with great Love and Sincerity.Thanks for the read. Happy Thanksgiving

THE TELL-TALE BRAIN: A Neuroscientist's Quest for What Makes Us Human. V. S. Ramachandran. xxvi + 357 pp. W. W. Norton and Company, 2011. $26.95.
In his new book, The Tell-Tale Brain, V. S. Ramachandran takes us on a fascinating tour of his research regarding a wide range of neurological conditions. These include acquired atypical phenomena such as phantom limbs, innate atypical phenomena such as synesthesia, neurodevelopmental disabilities such as autism, and psychiatric syndromes such as Capgras syndrome. Writing mostly in the first person, he describes how he and his colleagues puzzled over how to explain each unusual phenomenon or syndrome. The result is a highly readable journey into his lab, and into his mind. By showing how talented neuroscientists like Ramachandran set out to make sense of the brain's mysteries, the book will educate the wider public about those mysteries and inspire a new generation of students to move into neuroscience.
The book covers a broad range of conditions. But in this review I will focus on the author's account of autism and the theory he proposes to explain it. According to Ramachandran, in autism the mirror-neuron system is broken. Is this true?
Mirror neurons are a highly appealing concept. As Ramachandran explains, they were first discovered in monkeys in 1992, when Giacomo Rizzolatti and colleagues at the University of Parma in Italy noticed that the same neurons that fired when a monkey reached for an object also fired when the monkey saw another monkey reaching for an object. Since then, scientists have hypothesized that mirror neurons are the building blocks of a number of important human cognitive skills, including imitation, mind-reading and even empathy. Given that children with autism have difficulty with all three of these skills, it seems highly plausible that their mirror-neuron systems might be underdeveloped or malfunctioning.
By January 2006, two compelling pieces of evidence for the "broken mirror" theory of autism had been published. In March 2005, with Lindsay M. Oberman as first author, Ramachandran's group at the University of California, San Diego, published a paper in Cognitive Brain Research reporting the results of a study that used electroencephalography (EEG) to measure the brain waves of 10 high-functioning children with autism and 10 age- and gender-matched control subjects. The researchers analyzed the EEG data looking for suppression of mu waves (those with a frequency of 8 to 13 hertz). Mu-wave suppression normally occurs both when a person performs an action and when he or she observes someone else performing an action. The study found that mu waves were suppressed in the children with autism only when they performed an action themselves, not when they observed others acting. The experiment, which is described in The Tell-Tale Brain, is an important plank in the mirror-neuron theory of autism.
Shortly afterward, Mirella Dapretto and colleagues at the University of California, Los Angeles, reported in the January 2006 issue of Nature Neuroscience the results of an fMRI study in which 10 high-functioning children with autism and 10 control subjects were asked to watch and imitate facial expressions that showed such emotions as anger, fear, happiness or sadness. The children with autism could imitate the faces but had difficulty recognizing their meaning; these children showed reduced activity in the pars opercularis of the inferior frontal gyrus, which is held to be part of the mirror-neuron system. Ramachandran notes that other researchers, including Riitta Hari and Michele Villalobos, have corroborated his hypothesis.
However, the results of a study published in Neuron in 2010 suggest that the mirror-neuron system in people with autism may in fact work normally. In typical people, mirror neurons are known to fire more weakly when a movement is repeated than when it is initially made. So Ilan Dinstein at the Weizmann Institute in Rehovot, Israel, together with colleagues at New York University, set out to test whether this was also the case in adults with autism. They asked 13 high-functioning adults with autism and 10 control subjects to perform hand movements, or to watch others perform them, while undergoing fMRI. In some trials the same hand movement was performed repeatedly, and in others the movements varied. The researchers found that both in the people with autism and in the control group, the anterior intraparietal sulcus and the ventral premotor cortex (components of the mirror-neuron system) were active not only while a person was making the hand movements, but also when he or she was watching them being performed by someone else. And in both groups, these mirror-neuron areas showed less activity when the same movements were performed or observed over and over again, but not when a series of novel movements was being performed.
Another recent study also challenges the "broken mirror" theory of autism. Jean Decety at the University of Chicago, working with Yang-Teng Fan and others in Taiwan, used EEG to look for mu-wave suppression in 20 males with autism and 20 controls while they were watching or performing hand movements. The findings, published in the Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry in 2010, failed to replicate those of Ramachandran's 2005 study: In Decety's subjects, mu-wave suppression while actions were being observed did not differ significantly between the two groups. Neither of these two studies that challenge Ramachandran's theory are discussed in the book.
There are also clinical and experimental reasons for being skeptical of the broken-mirror theory of autism. First, it has been noted from the earliest accounts that when children with autism speak, they often echo other people's speech (so-called echolalia), repeating what is said verbatim and faithfully reproducing the intonation, tempo, precise articulation and accent of the other person. Is this not excellent imitation? Would it be possible for someone to do this whose mirror-neuron system was impaired?
In addition, although autism is certainly a social disability, it also has nonsocial features that reveal a different cognitive or information-processing style. For example, people with autism have excellent attention to detail and are able to memorize not just other people's words but also inanimate information such as car license plates or railway timetables. And finally, people with autism often develop obsessions, becoming immersed in a single topic to the exclusion of all else. How can a single factor like a broken mirror-neuron system explain these nonsocial features? In recognition of this latter point, Ramachandran has come up with a second theory (the "salience landscape theory") to account for the nonsocial features. And in fairness, I should mention that he does acknowledge in a note that the evidence for mirror-neuron dysfunction in autism is "compelling but not conclusive."
Nevertheless, Ramachandran argued in a TED talk he gave in November 2009 that 100,000 years ago mirror neurons evolved and enabled imitation, tool use, theory of mind, empathy, emulation, culture and civilization. He puts a huge weight of importance on these neurons, even though they have not really been measured in humans; this is because the single-cell recordings of brain cells that have been done in experimental animals such as monkeys cannot ethically be done in humans. All we really have are indirect or crude measures of mirror-neuron activity, using technologies such as fMRI. In an essay on the Edge website (http://www.edge.org/3rd_culture/ramachandran/ramachandran_p1.html) Ramachandran wrote, "I predict that mirror neurons will do for psychology what DNA did for biology: they will provide a unifying framework and help explain a host of mental abilities that have hitherto remained mysterious and inaccessible to experiments." Whether he has overstated the importance of mirror neurons and will decide to retract this statement remains to be seen. As an explanation of autism, the theory offers some tantalizing clues; however, some problematic counterevidence challenges the theory and particularly its scope.
But none of these debatable scientific issues diminished my enjoyment of this book, which is important as a record of its author's restless mind and seemingly infinite curiosity. Ramachandran is without doubt one of the world's most stimulating neuroscientists, and his bold ideas offer not just food for thought but explanations of what makes us human.

Incentives OK'd for 3 films planning work in Colo.
DENVER - Colorado economic development officials have approved incentives for three feature films doing production work in the state, including one produced by Leonardo DiCaprio.
The Denver Post reports DiCaprio's "Dear Eleanor" won approval Thursday for a $300,000 loan guarantee and up to $500,000 in rebates if the production spends $2.5 million in Colorado.
For "Caribou Records," the Colorado Economic Development Commission approved a $350,000 loan guarantee and rebates of $1.47 million, assuming in-state spending of about $7.5 million.
It approved a $76,000 rebate based on $380,000 in Colorado spending for a thriller called "The Frame."
The commission also approved rebates of nearly $387,000 for the owner of The Discovery Channel for spending of $1.9 million and rebates of $60,000 for fitness-video maker Gaiam Inc. of Boulder County.

Emily Deschanel Likes To Masturbate On The Set Of BonesFriday, April 30th, 2010
Now we all know that Emily Deschanel is a dirty little slut. Everyone's been talking about her naughty nude promotional images for Bones, and we all know about her hardcore fucking sessions off the set. But it seems that her lust for orgasmic episodes has started to affect her work, because lately Emily Deschanel has been holding up production just so she can masturbate on set! Here's proof of her zest for pussy stuffing at all times of the day. It's a photo of Emily Deschanel twiddling her twat with, what else, but a hard piece of bone! Yes, Emily literally demonstrates the feeling of having a boner up her cunt, and apparently it feels mighty good.
The only good thing about this that I can see is that the crew gets a free show whenever they have to take a break for Emily's masturbatory flings. I mean, she just doesn't give a damn who watches her, and in fact I think all the attention and eyes on her even excite her a bit. So there are literally tons of pics of Emily Deschanel stuffing her slit with all sorts of things, and if you want to see them all, then just follow the link we've got back there and you can have your fill watching this naked slut have her fill too!

Generally used to describe the threshold that a party seeking to prove a fact in court must reach in order to have that fact legally established. For example, in criminal cases, the burden of proving the defendant's guilt is on the prosecution, and they must establish that fact beyond a reasonable doubt. In civil cases, the plaintiff has the burden of proving his case by a preponderance of the evidence.
The burden of proof is often said to be comprised of two distinct but related concepts: the burden of production, and the burden of persuasion.

Obama on small-town voters: Bitter, xenophobic, religious; Update: McCain camp unloads; Update: People "don't need a president who looks down on them," says Hillary; Update: Audio added; Update: Obama camp responds — weakly
posted at 4:44 pm on April 11, 2008 by Allahpundit
An outrageous Kinsleyan gaffe? Sure. But give it a day or so, to let the Jedi mind trick work its magic. Then the left will tell us what he "really meant":
You go into these small towns in Pennsylvania and, like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing's replaced them…And they fell through the Clinton Administration, and the Bush Administration, and each successive administration has said that somehow these communities are gonna regenerate and they have not.
And it's not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.
What's most offensive? The condescension displayed here by the intelligentsia's candidate of choice? The sheer breadth of the stereotype, which would send Team Obama screaming from the rooftops if a white politician drew a similarly sweeping caricature of blacks? The crude quasi-Marxist reductionism of his analysis, which he first introduced in his speech on race vis-a-vis the root causes of whites' "resentment" — namely, exploitation by the bourgeoisie in the form of corporations and D.C. lobbyists? Or is it the shocking inclusion of religion, of all things, in the litany of sins he recites? What on earth is that doing there, given His Holiness's repeated invocations of the virtues of faith on the trail? Note the choice of verb, too. Why not just go the whole nine yards and call it the opiate of the masses?
If you missed the Standard's post a few weeks ago on the various complaints about "distractions" that creep into Obama's rhetoric, read it now. This is of a piece with it. Everything in the Obama universe, including gun rights evidently, that doesn't fit his agenda is a byproduct of external forces conspiring to manipulate the masses to keep his agenda at bay. Exit question: How does Hillary leverage this? Does she dare get the video and stick it in an ad?
Update: She's not going to get a video ad out of it. It wasn't delivered as part of a speech; how could it have been, given the obnoxiousness of the rhetoric? He said it to a bunch of megarich donors in San Francisco last week. This is how he talks to the liberal elite.
Update: The best part of this story? It's HuffPo, of all sites, that broke it. His disciples can't even claim bias in the reporting.
Update: Here we go. Your move, Hillary.
Asked to respond, McCain adviser Steve Schmidt called it a "remarkable statement and extremely revealing."
"It shows an elitism and condescension towards hardworking Americans that is nothing short of breathtaking," Schmidt said. "It is hard to imagine someone running for president who is more out of touch with average Americans."
Follow the link for Jonathan Martin's assertion that Republicans are itching to "play the elitism card" against Obama, which is journo-speak for "itching to show the public just how elitist Obama is in reality."
Update: Score. Go for the throat, shameless liar!
"It's being reported that my opponent said that the people of Pennsylvania who face hard times are bitter," Clinton said during a campaign event in Philadelphia. "Well that's not my experience. As I travel around Pennsylvania. I meet people who are resilient, optimist positive who are rolling up their sleeves."
"Pennsylvanians don't need a president who looks down on them," she said. "They need a president who stands up for them, who fights hard for your future, your jobs, your families."
Update: An intriguing quote from KP:
"It comes off very badly," Democratic strategist Kirsten Powers said of the small-town America remarks. "They are things that I think in a liberal world sound totally normal, and outside of that world I don't know that he appreciates how it sounds. And it just sounds very elitist, and it sounds like he's looking down on people."
Update: HuffPo's posted the audio. Sounds like an accurate transcription to me.
Update: Obama answers. No denial, no clarification, just an awkward change of subject to McCain. When does he deliver the Great Speech on Condescension to get himself off the hook for this one?
"Senator Obama has said many times in this campaign that Americans are understandably upset with their leaders in Washington for saying anything to win elections while failing to stand up to the special interests and fight for an economic agenda that will bring jobs and opportunity back to struggling communities. And if John McCain wants a debate about who's out of touch with the American people, we can start by talking about the tax breaks for the wealthiest Americans that he once said offended his conscience but now wants to make permanent,"

Enrichment at the Zoo
What Is Enrichment?
Enrichment is defined as any variable introduced into the animal's environment that stimulates mental and/or physical activity. Simply put, enrichment is meant to better the lives of animals through a variety of tools. Enrichment comes in many different forms ranging from something as simple as a change in food or diet to implementing a new training program for the animal.
Why is Enrichment Important?
Enrichment is an important aspect of animal life at the Zoo. It gives animals needed mental and physical stimulation. Training, for example, allows keepers to perform necessary husbandry and veterinary proceedures, with greater ease and less stress on the animal. Zoo visitors may have observed a common husbandry behavior when the Kodiak bears are asked to stand, so keepers may view their undersides to evaluate body conditions each day.
What are the different types of enrichment at the Zoo?
Diet Variation
A change in diet may be implemented for animals in many different forms. Presenting whole food instead of small pieces to promote more manual manipulation or offering smallpieces instead of whole items to promote longer periods of foraging behavior - is a simple way to stimulate natural responses.
(limbs and leaves of trees and shrubs)
Browse is provided to many animals to be enjoyed as food, exhibit furniture or as a play item.
Puzzle Feeders
Puzzle feeders are objects that require manipulation to dispense food. These challenge the animals to use problem solving abilities to obtain food. Pieces of bamboo filled with peanut butter,honey, or raisins make excellent puzzle feeders for our bears.
Sensory Stimulation
Sensory enrichment can involve any or all of the five senses. One of the easiest senses to stimulate is the sense of smell, especially with carnivores. For example, allspice and elephant manure stimulate scent-marking and predatory behaviors in the big cats.
Novel Objects
Using novel objects can be as simple as adding a pile of leaves to a habitat, giving snowballs to animals that live indoors, or placing live fish in the sea otter pool. Novel objects include anything that the animal does not experience on a regular basis.
Training Programs
Training is a type of enrichment that provides mental stimulation to the animals through the process of learning. Training allows our veternarians to secure the cooperation of animals when practicing veterinary procedures such as drawing blood, obtaining weights, and conducting general body inspections. Zoo staff can make medical interactions positive experiences and reduce stress for everyone involved.
Enrichment At The Zoo
At the Pittsburgh Zoo all training programs use operant conditioning, a process of learning in which behaviors are modified by the consequences that follow them. If an animal is rewarded for a particular behavior, chances are that the behavior will be repeated.
A bridge--a sound or gesture that marks the exact moment that a desired behavior occurs--is used to facilitate this. A word, a whistle, or a clicker (a device which makes a clicking sound) are the most common auditory bridges used by trainers. At the Pittsburgh Zoo animal keepers are trainers, and before keepers begin teaching behaviors, they must make positive associations with their animals using a bridge. Sounding the bridge and providing a positive reinforcer (food) accomplishes this.
Behaviors that are useful in caring for and monitoring health may then be taught to the animals. These behaviors are taught in small steps, which, when combined, will produce a complete desired behavior. This process is called shaping. Using these techniques, trainers may teach many behaviors which can make the difference between life and death. Training a diabetic tiger to present its shoulders and hips to a keeper for required injections of insulin is just one noteworthy example.
Training is also beneficial in the general care of the animals. This care is referred to as animal husbandry.
The Zoo currently has training programs for:
African elephants
California sea lions
Cotton-top tamarins
Black rhinoceros
Amur tigers
Amur leopards
Snow leopards
African lions
Black bears
Kodiak bears
Spectacled bears
White-cheeked gibbons
Bornean orangutans
Diana monkeys
Polar bears
River otters
White Spotted Eagle Rays
Black and White Colobus
Saki Monkeys
Black Howler Monkeys
Black Footed Cat
Blacktip reef sharks
Bonnethead sharks
Zebra sharks
Queensland groupers
White spotted bamboo sharks
White spotted river rays
The Enrichment Committee invites visitors of all ages to explore classes held throughout the year which focus on this fascinating aspect of animal care.

Bend man facing federal tax fraud charges
Indictment also alleges retaliation try against IRS, Geithner
BEND, Ore. - A Bend man has been indicted and arrested on federal charges of falsely seeking nearly $900,000 in federal tax refunds – receiving one refund of more than $300,000 – and of making false claims to retaliate against former Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner and two Eugene IRS employees, the agency said Saturday.
Mark T. Ellis was indicted late last month on four counts of making a false claim for tax refunds and four counts of retaliating against a federal employee by false claim. He was arrested Feb. 22 in Bend by federal marshals and given conditional release pending an April 15 status conference and April 30 trial date, court records showed. A federal public defender was appointed to represent him.
The indictment filed in U.S. District Court in Eugene claims Ellis filed four false refund claims on four occasions between 2008 and 2010, resulting in a $311,459 federal tax refund "to which he was not entitled."
Starting in 2007, prosecutors alleged, Ellis "used and promoted illegal debt termination programs in an attempt to fraudulently cancel his and others' debts, including home mortgages and credit card bills, and to falsely obtain tax refunds to which he and others were not entitled."
Prosecutors also allege in the indictment that Ellis "purchased and used trusts in order to illegally hide or shield his income and assets, including business income, from the IRS."
In 2010 and 2011, the indictment alleges, Ellis filed false liens against the property of then-Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, IRS agent Ron Robinson and IRS special agent and criminal investigator Jonathon Dittmon "on the account of the performance of their official duties," which contained "materially false, fictitious, fraudulent statements and representations."

Body measurement featuresAverage and maximum heart rate of each lap
Average, minimum and maximum heart rate of training
Heart rate – bpm / % Heart rate is the measurement of the work your heart does. Heart rate can be expressed as the number of beats per minute or as percentage of your maximum heart rate. Heart rate can also be expressed as a percentage of your heart rate reserve, meaning the difference between your resting heart rate and maximum heart rate (HRR = HRmax - HRrest). In Polar software or during strength training, heart rate can be displayed as a graphical trend.
HRmax (age-based) The highest number of heart beats per minute (bpm) during maximum physical exertion. For a rough estimate of your maximum heart rate, subtract your age from 220. HRmax is a useful tool for determining the intensity of training as intensity zones can be defined using HRmax. Some Polar products define maximum heart rate during the Polar Fitness Test, see also HRmax (Polar Fitness Test -based).HRmax (user set)
Polar Fitness Test Polar Fitness Test measures your aerobic fitness at rest in just five minutes. The result, Polar OwnIndex, evaluates your maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max). With the Polar Fitness Test you can measure your aerobic fitness by yourself, automatically and without any exertion. All you need is your training computer. The Polar Fitness Test is as accurate in predicting the VO2max as any sub maximal fitness test. The test is based on heart rate and heart rate variability at rest and personal information.
Polar OwnCal® – calorie expenditure with fat percentage Polar OwnCal calculates the number of kilocalories expended during training. This feature allows you to follow the kilocalories expended during one training session and cumulative kilocalories expended during several training sessions. Some Polar products also estimate the fat-burning percentage (fat% on display), that is, kilocalories expended from fat during a workout which is expressed as a percentage of the total kilocalories burned.
Polar OwnCode® (2.4 GHz W.I.N.D.) – coded transmission Coded heart rate transmission automatically locks in a code to transmit your heart rate to the training computer. The training computer picks up your heart rate from your transmitter only. Coding significantly reduces interference from other training computers. The 2.4 GHz W.I.N.D transmission is disturbance-free from other electronic devices.
Polar sport zones Polar sport zones provide an easy way to select and monitor the intensity of your training and to follow sport zones based training programs. Training is divided into five zones based on percentages of your maximum heart rate: very light (50-60%HRmax), light (60-70%HRmax), moderate (70-80%HRmax), hard (80-90%HRmax) and maximum (90-100%HRmax).
Polar ZoneOptimizer - personalized sport zones ZoneOptimizer adjusts personal sport zones for every training session based on your current physiological condition. This feature gives you the right heart rate zones depending on your physiological state at that exact moment, making sure that the you are always training at the right intensity.
Training benefit The Training Benefit feature gives you instant feedback as text on your training computer after you finish your training session: first you get a short summary Benefit, and in the training result file there is a longer Benefit text. When you transfer your training result to polarpersonaltrainer.com, there is a more physiologically oriented Benefit explanation in the training result in your Diary. Training Benefit interprets the numeric data that your training computer records during your training session and explains what kind of effects the training session had on your body and fitness. The Training Benefit feature is available in certain training computers.CS cadence sensor W.I.N.D. features
Bike settings – for two bicycles You can define settings up to two to three bikes in your training computer. When you start training, you can select the bike with the correct settings for that particular training session.
Cadence – current, average and maximum Your cycling cadence stands for your pedaling rate in revolutions per minute (rpm). Cadence is the central factor in improving cycling performance. A higher cadence reduces the force needed for each pedal stroke, and thus improves overall performance. Running cadence measures how many times your either right or left foot hits the ground in one minute. Running cadence is measured as steps per minute. With this feature you can sharpen your cadence and make your ground contact time shorter. This will help you to find a balance between leg power and leg speed.CS speed sensor W.I.N.D. features
Autostart/stop By activating Autostart/autostop feature, the cycling computer starts and stops training recording automatically when you start or stop pedaling.
Bike settings – for two bicycles You can define settings up to two to three bikes in your training computer. When you start training, you can select the bike with the correct settings for that particular training session.
Distance – training, lap, and total Distance (km, mi) can be set and measured in several ways. Training distance tells you the distance traveled during a training session. Trip distance tells you the distance from the latest trip reset. Lap distance tells you the distance of one lap. Total distance is the distance accumulated since the last reset. Odometer tells you the cumulative distance which you cannot reset.Speed – current, average and maximum

This team just needs to get better. Yeah they won last year, but only with a little luck. They where 9-7 the last two seasons and missed the post the two seasons before that. Stop extending these players hat acoount for a 9-7 team. Eat it this year and say goodbye next year. Start fresh.
Cutting Baas was never an option. Not sure why this author treated it like it was.
These articles seem to be taken right from a message board.
Signing bonus + restructured last season = 5 mil cap hit if he is cut or he stays. Next season assuming they do not restructure again his cap hit if released would drop.
His guaranteed money should already be gone.
He should make for a very possible release next season.

Movie Review: Warrior
Nick Nolte, Joel Edgerton and Tom Hardy deliver a trio of powerful performances.
Director: Gavin O'Connor Rating: PG-13 Studio: Mimran Schur Pictures
Those expecting a sports film to be about Something Bigger might feel let down by Warrior. In it, Nick Nolte plays the tumbledown, broken father of financially strapped family man Joel Edgerton and wild, feral, mysterious military man Tom Hardy who wind up competing against each other for $5 million in a mixed martial arts knockdown/drag out.
Warrior may not be The Fighter or The Wrestler, let alone Raging Bull, but whatever you go in expecting, the movie's emotional, visceral wallop certainly works you over. Directed by Gavin O'Connor from a screenplay credited to him, Cliff Dorfman and Anthony Tambakis, the moody, spare film is set mostly in working class suburban Philadelphia and, aside from the obligatory training scenes and pumped up action, is at its best when it painfully details the two brothers rejecting their abusive, alcoholic father who is celebrating 1000 days of sobriety and is desperate for some kind of reconciliation.
Nolte, his golden boy movie past and looks savaged by decades of hard living, gives an achingly sad performance—even when the script sidelines him. The Australian Edgerton, as the schoolteacher forced by the economy to make ends meet by boxing thugs in parking lots, is also first class, never overplaying the sentiment in scenes with his two young daughters and wife (Jennifer Morrison). Brit actor Hardy, his character's complicated motivations hidden for much of the running time, slams the movie with a sense of rage and anguish driven by unendurable pain. You don't need to know or care jack about mixed martial arts because the film immerses you so deeply into that world it practically rubs your nose in it. If the bloody, beaten-to-a-pulp finale doesn't get your pulse pounding while generating a lump in the throat, we don't know what to tell you.
Despite the red meat action sequences, you don't leave Warrior pumping your fist so much as touched by the lives of the three crushed, damaged leading characters. Moving, satisfying and elevated by a trio of powerful performances, Warrior connects straight to the heart and spirit.

Appartement bien situé pour visiter Manhattan. Le chauffage est resté un mystère pour nous (peut être une conséquence de l'ouragan Sandy), mais des chauffages d'appoint nous ont été fournis en moins de 30 min.
Les pièges à souris disséminés dans l'appartement ne sont pas inutiles (une souris capturée pendant le séjour (4 nuits).
Bref, un appartement très bien pour un petit groupe souhaitant visiter New York mais peut être moins pour une famille.
Note: l'hôte ne répond pas aux mails... :(
A házigazda egyéb ingatlanjainak értékelései
Windu is the most expensive website to rent an apartment on the face of the earth. Based on an email sent by CityKit (Management Company of the property) the actual cost of the apartment was $2001.00 for 7 days but we paid to Windu 2,421.21. This means 420 (20%) commission. Making this type of commission could be typical in the industry but letting the client to find out about it is very unprofessional. Hiding key information like the location of the apartment is no very professional either (third floor without elevator) Later we realized the apartment was in poor shape and not properly maintained, CityKit totally ignored our request for simple things missing like extra cover and linen for the sofa bed or to send a technician to fix a huge leak on the bathroom sink. Definitely I won't recommend Wimdu to a friend.
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
Very good location and good size apartment with all the necessities for our party of 8 people. Quite a few restaurants nearby and a subway station just down the street. We had a problem with the radiators that wouldn't stop heating and one of them had a broken knob. We called the agency who were very nice and helpful and sent a man to fix it - it didn't help though... Also it was litterally painful to shower in the apartment because of the water temperature that was constantly changing between either ice cold or burning hot, and that caused us quite a bit of frustration during our stay.
Besides from that the apartment was very nice and clean and with plenty of towels and we enjoyed our stay!
The location of the apartment (Thompson Street/Houston Street) is very good, subway stations are quite nearby and there are lots of supermarkets, shops and restaurants in the neighborhood.
The flat is located on the 3rd floor which is not very convenient with luggage because there is no elevator; unfortunately it could have been cleaner.
This apartment is very compact and 4 flight up (no lift). The beds and pillows are not comfortable and need to be replaced. The hot water supply to the shower is irregular and in winter having cold showers is not pleasant. I would not recommend this apartment to anyone with children or over the age of 50. The location is excellent but it does not offset the negatives.
The location is excellent. In a quieter area but still very close to the hustle and bustle. The subway is just a few minutes walk. Central Park and MoMA are a short walk.
Apartment is decent size for the price. Having two bedrooms separate from living room is nice.
One downside is street noise b/c it is ground level, but we knew that going into it. Just bring some earplugs if you're a light sleeper.
The only bad thing is we discovered our last night that there were cockroaches in the kitchen.... not sure if this apartment is sprayed regularly.
Fantastic Apartment. Just what was required for our week in New York. Very clean and spacious and in a great part of the city.
Warning to everyone interested in this appartment! We whare really disappointed when one day before arrival, and I have had personally contact with David that all was ok according to arrival, we got info to change appartment 17 hours before arriving to NY. Payment was done, in good time. We got a replacement app, bot not in the same quality acc to pictures.:-(
We had a nice stay in that appartment. The location is pretty central and you can reach everything by feet. The appartment itself is small, nice and cozy The only thing we didn't like, was the very noisy first avenue, that seemed to run directly through the bedroom at night. We would book that appartment again.
