My childhood church, is the church of St. Matthew in West Derby Liverpool.The building is listed as Grade II, and the interior architecture has the appearance of a downsized basilica.
Its bell tower is tall, and points to the heavens like the finger of a saint; it has long been a local landmark.
I remember how the iron cross laid in the main road nearby reminded men to doff their caps in reverence for the Lord as they passed by.
The place was always full on Sundays, at all four masses, and there was always a priest on hand if needed.The Choir loft held the organ that had the most imposing sound which rung the rafters along with the congregation. No faint-hearted crooners here!
Gradually, as time passed, the bells in the tall tower that had reminded us it was the Lords day, and a day of rest became silent. Muted by a growing number who preferred to not be so reminded.
Along with Sunday Mass my parents (and grandparents) would encourage us to attend the parish retreats. I remember well the tale of eternity which used the image of a sparrow brushing its wings against a great rock. All through my youth and childhood, my family had attended the weekly Novena to Our Lady of Perpetual succour. This is a particularly powerful Novena - ( if I may put it that way) and the devotion in our family had spanned three generations at the church of St. Matthew.
The words of the prayer were a catechesis in itself, about the relationship of Mary to her son, and our own call to personal holiness. They seemed to sink deeply into my heart as I gazed at the Icon of Our Lady tenderly holding her son, and flanked by attending angels.
The opening prayer began like this:"
"Dear Mother of Perpetual Help, throughout your life you were open to Gods Holy Spirit: faithful in prayer, wiling in obedience, and generous in love. Pray for us that we may be open to God's word, and filled with the Holy Spirit....."
We listened to scripture, and prayed the psalms, the poetry of which was music to my ears. And when the priest lit the incense, we knew that soon Jesus would be tangibly present on the altar, splendid in his monstrance throne; our time of silent audience with our king and saviour had arrived.
We would sing the Magnificat and Salutaris, the vowels of the latin like rounded sweet favours in the mouth rose up and swelled like perfumed smoke.
When the service was over and we walked the mile and a half home, we felt we carried something away with us. We had felt loved, and listened to and thereby strengthened on our return to the outside world.
When my dad was eventually ordained as a Deacon of St.Matthews, it meant a great deal to him to be able to continue the Novena by which our family had received so many graces. I remember the day when my dad told us that the Lady chapel was to be re- ordered. After three generations of our family attending the Novena to Our Lady of Perpetual Succour, it was suddenly axed.
It had been decided that this devotion was less necessary to the parish than a room for the folk group to practice and somewhere for tea and biscuits to be consumed.
The Lady chapel was sealed off from the main church by means of a huge white wall. It cut through the red brick rhythm of Byzantine arches like a cold hearted bully, demanding attention.
My father had worked as a humble plasterer most of his life; but occasionally he was called to restore architectural plasterworks in older buildings. This disregard for integrity of a space did not sit well with his sense of aesthetics, and he rightly wondered what else was to come.
The row of "confessionals" (like sentry boxes for the guarding of souls), morphed into a single room. The baptistry, once housed at the far end of the lady chapel was uprooted. It re-appeared at the entrance to the church; and to accomodate the change, benches which had once been filled by parishioners to "crush level" were removed.
It seemed to us that there was a direct correlation between cutting off access to the view of the confessionals, and Our heavenly mother's, Lady chapel; to the fall in parishioner numbers.
This came as a painful blow to us on several levels;
Historically, the original Icon of Our Lady of Perpetual Help had been placed in the church of St. Matthew in Rome by Our Lady's request, and the first copy of this icon came to Bishop Eton in Liverpool, on April 26th 1866.
From there, it was a natural progression for this devotion to come to the church of St. Matthew in West Derby, because the church was built partly as a memorial to the Liverpool architect Matthew Honan who was killed in 1916, and who left over £14,000 towards the building of a church.
The generosity of Matthew Honan who enabled the building of the church, and to whom we owe a prayer for this gift, has not been memorialised - even with a small plaque.
With the Marble altar and its tryptich hidden; the Blessed Sacrament would no longer be adored there. Children would no longer have the experience of gazing through that golden "window to heaven", The Icon of Holy Mother Mary who holds a frightened child, and will hold us too if we but ask.
The adage "out of sight, is out of mind," holds true for Matthew, and even more so the presence of Our Lady.
To ease the blow, I painted my first Icon of Our Lady of Perpetual Succour for my father. He retired early from the diaconate, plagued by a long illness related to heart problems and cancer. He offered his suffering for fallen away Catholics.
And so, in thanksgiving to Our Lady of Perpetual Succour, and in memory of my dad, I have Our Lady of Perpetual Succour on my logo, - may she continue to pray for us.

Dear SC enthusiasts,
Since the second year of my veterinary studies in the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, University of Lisbon, I became progressively more interested in wildlife related topics as I gained awareness of the applicability of veterinary medicine in species' conservation efforts. I owe this partly to FAUNA, a students' association group dedicated to complementing the students' formation through the establishment a network of local and foreign specialists working in such fields of research.
Besides the veterinary academic background, additional experience includes volunteering programmes in two wildlife rehabilitation centers, participation in capture courses and attendance in conferences in Portugal and abroad, including the 11
and 12
EWDA conferences and the 6
EWDA Student workshop.
I just started a one-year MSc in Basic and Applied Research in Wildlife, in IREC (Spain), which I hope will contribute to a better understanding of what it takes to pursue a career in research, as well as consolidate my knowledge in wildlife health dynamics and its implications.
After the inspiring 6
SC workshop in 2015, our greatest challenge as board is now to guarantee a panel of internationally recognised speakers able to cover a wide variety of topics ranging from research to the relevance of policy making and social sciences organisations, under the One Health concept.

So another month means another wishlist! I find myself constantly lusting after products throughout the month but when it comes to writing a wishlist I can't seem to think of anything! (Does anyone else have this problem? Think I need to write more lists!) So here is just a select few products that I've been lusting after for the majority of February!
1. Mac Eyeshadow Quad - Palette £5 - Eyeshadows £10
I'm seriously lusting after a Mac Eyeshadow Quad so that I can choose 4 eyeshadow shades which will be perfect to take with me on the go. I love my Urban Decay Naked 1 Palette however as it's big I never take it out with me. Due to this I think a Mac Eyeshadow Quad would be the perfect solution, even more so as I can handpick the four shades I want. I've been looking at an endless amount of Mac Eyeshadow swatches and it's safe to say I'm going to have some trouble narrowing my favourites down to only 4 eyeshadows. Some of the shades that I've got my eye on are: Amber Lights, Jest, Mulch, Expensive Pink, Soft Brown and Gleam. Would love some recommendations of your favourite Mac Eyeshadows in the comments!!
2. Benefit Roller Lash Mascara - £19.50
Although I already got hold of a sample size version of Benefit's Roller Lash Mascara in this month's edition of Elle Magazine, I am already counting down the days till it gets properly released as this is my favourite mascara that I've ever tried! Benefit's Roller Lash Mascara is great for adding extreme length to your lashes and also great at holding a curl, even without curling your eyelashes first. If you'd like to read a more in-depth review of my thoughts on Benefit's Roller Lash Mascara, then you can take a look here. It's safe to say I'm really looking forward to getting my hands on the full size version of Benefit's Roller Lash Mascara.
3. Topshop Copenhagen - £22
If you've seen my latest pins of the week post you would have seen that I've been loving pinning outfits which have been smart outfits paired with trainers, which leave the outfit looking casual overall. Although I've been pinning outfits which feature rather expensive trainers such as Stan Smiths, I think these Topshop Copenhagen Trainers are a perfect and super affordable smart trainer alternative. They come in black and white but I think I personally prefer the black version, although both pairs would go with most outfits. They are super affordable at just £22 and also look super comfy! Definitely need to purchase these soon!
4. Kate Spade Cedar Street Joyce - £270
For my 21st birthday last year I was lucky enough to receive a Kate Spade purse and ever since my love for her designs have grown. Although all Kate Spade's bags and purses are amazing I particularly love her Cedar Street Joyce Bag in Rosy Dawn. I think it's a great size for an everyday bag and I love the colour as it's different to the typical tan and black bags that I currently own. However, I may have been naughty and purchased a different Kate Spade bag yesterday, let me know if you'd like a post on it!
5. Nars Audacious Lipstick in Anna - £24
I have been trying to get my hands on this lipstick for ages now but it's another product that seems to be sold out absolutely everywhere! I've heard great things about Nars Audacious Lipsticks, when I've swatched these the formula seems amazing and the shade Anna is definitely a winner for me! And after seeing Anna's post on this lipstick comparing it to a Kylie Jenner colour, I knew I really did need this in my life. I can't wait to eventually track Nars Audacious Lipstick in Anna down!!
So that's what I've been lusting after so far this month, a mix of beauty and fashions bits! What are products feature on your February wishlists? If you have a similar post leave me a link as I love reading posts like this!

Sachin Tendulkar was very generous with his time during his meeting with the school boys of Bowral Public School, where Don Bradman had studied in the past.
This was revealed by Ms. Wendy Buckley, the principal of the School.
"Sachin landed on Bradman Oval by helicopter where all of the students at Bowral Public School were waiting to greet him (there are 540 students at our school)," revealed school principal, Wendy Buckley. "After an introduction he met our school cricket team and then our boys were able to bowl some balls to him, while he batted on the hallow grounds of Bradman Oval.
"Sachin then walked around the Oval meeting as many of our students as possible," she continued. "He was very generous with his time.
"Our school captain, Michael Dowe welcomed Sachin to Bowral and thanked him for visiting.
"I am not aware of any other International players who have attended our school but Simon Taufel is a parent at our school and we have many up and coming cricketers who are former students," she added. "Bowral Public School is proud of our Bradman heritage and it was a lot of fun having Sachin Tendulkar visit Bowral today."

THORIUM: energy cheaper than coal
THORIUM: energy cheaper than coal has just been published and is available from Amazon. Click on the cover image for more information, including hundreds of links for reference or further study.
Thorium energy can help us
- check CO2 and global warming,
- cut deadly air pollution,
- provide inexhaustible energy
- increase human prosperity
Our world is beset by global warming, pollution, resource conflicts, and energy poverty. Millions die from coal plant emissions. We war over mideast oil. Food supplies from sea and land are threatened. Developing nations' growth exacerbates the crises.
Few nations will adopt carbon taxes or energy policies against their economic self-interests to reduce global CO2 emissions. Energy cheaper than coal will dissuade all nations from burning coal. Innovative thorium energy uses economic persuasion to end the pollution, to provide energy and prosperity to impoverished peoples, and to create energy security for all people for all time.
A market-based environmental solution
We can solve our global energy and environmental crises straightforwardly – through technology innovation and free-market economics. We need a disruptive technology – energy cheaper than coal. If we offer to sell to all the world the capability to produce energy that cheaply, all the world will stop burning coal. It's as simple as that. Rely on the economic self-interest of 7 billion people in 250 nations to choose cheaper, nonpolluting energy.
Energy is about 7% of the economy. We, and especially developing nations, can not afford to pay much more for energy. Many environmentalists advocate replacing fossil fuel energy with wind and solar energy sources, blind to the fact that these are 3-4 times more costly! Global economic prosperity requires lower energy costs, not higher costs from taxes or mandated costly wind and solar sources. THORIUM: energy cheaper than coal advocates lowering costs for clean energy – a market-based environmental solution.
1 Introduction: an introduction to world crises related to energy and the environment, and the potential for good solutions.
2 Energy and civilization: the relationship between energy, life, and human civilization, easy energy science, life's dependence on energy flows, civilization's progress with the energy of the Industrial Revolution, and the 21st century crises of global warming and energy consumption.
3 An unsustainable world: global warming and its terrifying implications for water, agriculture, food, and civilization; depletion of economical petroleum reserves, deadly air pollution from burning coal, increased competition for natural resources from a growing population, and the solution of new energy technology, cheaper than coal.
4 Energy sources: the character and cost of current and principal emerging energy sources: coal, oil, natural gas, hydropower, solar, wind, biomass, and nuclear.
5 Liquid fluoride thorium reactor (LFTR): the history and technology of liquid fuel nuclear reactors, the Oak Ridge demonstration molten salt reactors, thorium, LFTR, the denatured molten salt reactor (DMSR), builders, and possible contenders for energy cheaper than coal.
6 Safety: the safety of molten salt reactors, comparisons to alternative energy sources, radiation risks, waste, weapons, and fear.
7 A sustainable world: environmental benefits of thorium energy cheaper than coal: reduced CO2 emissions, reduced petroleum consumption, synthetic fuels for vehicles, hydrogen power, water conservation, desalination.
8 Energy policy: current confused policies; failure to reduce CO2 emissions, subsidies, recommendations, leadership.
"This book presents a lucid explanation of the workings of thorium-based reactors. It is must reading for anyone interested in our energy future."
Leon Cooper, Brown University physicist and 1972 Nobel laureate for superconductivity
"As our energy future is essential I can strongly recommend the book for everybody interested in this most significant topic."
George Olah, 1994 Nobel laureate for carbon chemistry
"Hargraves' book contains a wealth of information that I've never seen anywhere. Very informative and insightful."
Steve Kirsch, San Jose entrepreneur and philanthropist
"The book describes mankind's hope for a sustainable and prosperous future: high-temperature thorium-based reactors. The writing is clear and factual, and the book will helpful to anyone interested in energy choices."
Meredith Angwin, Director of Energy Education for the Ethan Allen Institute
"A terrific book-length description of the need for energy solutions for this century, leading the reader to the advantages of thorium fissioning in a fluid of of molten salt. He explains the technical basis for how such a power plant works and why it can be cheaper than making power from coal — the dominant fuel for power plants today. This book will be a valuable aid for the many people who will take this demonstrated technology of the 1960s at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee through the rebirth phase and into deployment in this century possibly to dominate the power plants by the later part of the 21st century. Another book about why the molten salt reactor development option was abruptly stopped in early 1970s, even though its demonstration was successful and the use of thorium held great promise is Super Fuel by Richard Martin (2012). For background the reader is referred to The First Nuclear Era by Alvin Weinberg (1994)."
Ralph Moir, retired Lawrence Livermore Laboratory physicist, expert in fusion and molten salt reactors

I knew better and heard it all before. Democrats always promise the world and give you nothing but misery. If it were up to them all would live in endless misery of endless problems they create so that an unsuspecting electorate can keep them in power. This isn't a political thread/blog and
I apologize for the rant but the only way we will ever see the light of LFTR is that if we allow free market capitalism to take off. This means, kicking the government to the curb and reversing the past regulatory nonsense that got us here. The DOE along with the NRC and it's many tentacles need to go. The Dept of education has it's ugly consequences as well forcing stupidity upon us all.

I just posted this review on Amazon.com:
Though this book is nominally about a thorium-burning nuclear reactor called the LFTR, this is also a great book about energy in general. It is much broader than "Plentiful Energy" (which discusses only the IFR, a fast breeder reactor); it goes well beyond thorium to discuss fossil fuels, renewables, energy storage, and transportation fuel. Even the nuclear chapters provide background on competing technologies like LWRs, LMFBRs, TWRs, SMRs, PB-AHTRs, and DMSRs.
It provides less history, and more technical detail than "Super Fuel" or "Power to Save the World". It is more like an updated and greatly enhanced version of "The Nuclear Energy Option" (http://www.phyast.pitt.edu/~blc/book/ ) with its thoughtful treatment of energy safety and radioactivity.
This is a great book, covering an important topic. It's time to make the switch to sustainable energy, and Dr. Hargraves tells us how to do it.
Evan Maughan
September 22, 2012 (5:35 pm)
Make Thorium and election issue, not this go around. Romney is focused on talking about the economy and, yes, energy policy, but LFTR would be too hard to start explaining to voters at this point. Obama is focused on Romney and anything but the economy, and now foreign policy. Obama would never push anything nuclear because it is "evil" to many on the left (fortunately not all).
My hope is that when Romney becomes president someone will present the benefits of LFTR. He is one of the best venture capitalist the U.S. has ever had. There would be a good chance that he could see the huge potential of this technology and the path to help the U.S. become energy independent.
If Obama becomes president I do not see anything with the word nuclear get any help or promotion from the POTUS. I have contacted my senators, both Dems, but I am just a mosquito in the swamp of voters and lobbyist that they deal with. Too bad, if Obama went supported LFTR he would get support from the right. Most conservatives are all for nukes and cheap energy.
I look at over 1.5 trillion spent on all the "stimulus" packages and think what a waste! What did we get for it? We could have fast tracked development of LFTR and started mass production in a year or two.
I know there are left leaning voters on this site, and I think LFTR is a great tech that can bring both sides together. If you really do believe in LFTR, the odds are much better if Romney wins. Obama mentioned nukes in '08 one time from what I remember, but it was just campaign talk to appeal to the other side. Nothing ever came of many of his promises.

Evan, thank you. I've been unsuccessful in trying to meet with my Senator Shaheen, who is on the energy and natural resources committee. I've been trying a center of the political spectrum approach; I've posted comments such as the following.
The way to satisfy both Republicans and Democrats is through new technology for energy cheaper than coal. Republicans fear that carbon taxes will put the US at an economic disadvantage to exempted developing nations. Democrats fear that continuing CO2 emissions will increase global warming with disastrous consequences for water and food. Both are right.The US has the capability to develop advanced nuclear power technologies that can produce energy cheaper than coal. Making such clean, safe power plants available globally is the only way to convince 7 billion people in 250 nations from burning coal — economic self interest.The liquid fluoride thorium reactor (LFTR), originally developed by Oak Ridge National Laboratories, is now being refined by China, while the US fails to harvest this technology that could check global warming, end energy poverty, and as well lead to a $70 billion export industry. The new book about this,THORIUM: energy cheaper than coal, is described at http://www.thoriumenergycheaperthancoal.com thorium

Prof. Hargraves,
I have read about half of your new book, and I am finding it very informative.
I recently had some email contact with a Prof. Mark Z. Jacobson at Stanford, who is pushing for massive wind energy development. This guy has very impressive credentials and is considered a world-class expert on energy systems:
I informed him about the LFTR concept, and I also mentioned your book to him. He replied to my first couple of emails, but then he stopped replying. Our correspondence was completely cordial.
I am not sure what to make of Prof Jacobson. His resume' and his publications appear stellar, yet he is pushing for massive wind power, which seems nonsensical to me (even more so after reading the wind section of your book). Have you or anyone else heard of him? If not, I suggest you look him up. If so, what do you know about him? Thanks.

Wind power is great, for the 1800's. It is also great when electricity costs 1 dollar or more per kwh ( right now it is pretty cheap at about 0.14 cents per kwh).
I've never seen any futuristic ideas/movies/aliens that have used windpower.
Yeah wind power is great, I am accepting donations so i can power my house with a windmill ONLY! I only have 300,000 dollars left before i can afford my own windmill, and finally be off the grid.

Russ, Mark Z. Jacobson certainly is an industrious academic. He builds climate models. The most famous paper on his website, Review of energy solutions to global warming, air pollution, and energy security, shows rather high CO2 emissions for nuclear power. That's because the model assumes that more nuclear power will beget nuclear wars, and the paper counts the CO2 emissions from destroying and burning cities. This exemplifies how one can build complex models to achieve any desired results. This is the reason the models in my book are simple — to illuminate the basics.
Robert M, Wind power is even more expensive than you say. Cape Wind is approved to charge 18.7 cents/kWh, escalating to 31 cents/kWh, provided the federal production tax credit is renewed; if not they can add 2.2 cents/kWh more. [And it's intermittent and not dispatchable.] See p 134 et seq.

Yeah, factoring hypothetical nuclear wars into the accounting for CO2 emissions for nuclear power … seems a bit misleading to say the least!
In one of his email replies to me, Prof. Jacobson pointed out that uranium mining consumes lots of power, and he apparently assumed that the power would come from coal, thus adding to the CO2 emissions due to nuclear power. That seemed rather fishy to me. I asked him why that power could not come from nuclear or gas, but he did not reply.
It appears to me that Prof. Jacobson may be trying to deliberately mislead the public on energy matters. Yet he publishes in ostensibly prestigious journals, and he probably has great influence on public policy. What are we to make of that? Is the scientific establishment itself corrupt? If so, how can we fight that corruption?
That leads me into the whole issue of global warming. Based on what I have read, I am skeptical of CAGW (catastrophic anthropogenic global warming). However, I don't want to let it distract us from the larger issue of energy policy. GW is an argument in favor of nuclear power, but as you have pointed out, the case for LFTR is very strong even without this particular argument.
Here's my suggestion for dealing with global warming. Rather than simply accepting it as established truth, treat it as the controversial issue that it is, and point out that LFTR wins whether CAGW is real or not — but particularly so if it is real. In other words, just don't accept the premise that CAGW is proven scientific fact, because I don't think it is.

Robert Hargraves…..
Oh you must have misunderstood my original comments. I said Wind energy is good because it costs about 1 dollar per kwh to produce. But its not so good, because across the entire country , coal + nuclear + natural gas only cost .14 cents per kwh…
So wind has to wait for a huge increase in average electrity to even start to be competitive.
Sometimes, my scarcasm fails on the internets.

Can we get a new blog here? Three months with no new news makes it seems like nothing is happening.
November 4, 2012 (12:29 am)
Yes! a new post would be soo great. I have been checking here daily for the past 3 months…… still no new posts !!!
really sad now 🙁
November 5, 2012 (2:52 pm)
I bought this book and was really disappointed. First of all the layout is really terrible. It looks like an assignment done by a student too lazy to format his/her stuff properly. Also some pictures are soo small that you cannot read the text in the pictures anymore.
About the content: Some interesting facts (ship cause more global warming than all cars together), however I was interested in nuclear energy. No proper introduction to nuclear fission. Also some LFTR designs use graphite as a moderator which is highly inflammable and IIRC the Chernobyl power plant also used graphite. It is simply mentioned that some designs may use graphite or water. No word about safety there.
I will take the Coursera course about Nuclear Energy in 2013 and hopefully learn more
November 7, 2012 (8:45 pm)
Nuclear energy from thorium or uranium will have much higher CO2 equivalent emissions than wind, concentrated solar, geothermal, tidal, photovoltaic, or wave power primarily to the long planning-to-operation delays required for new nuclear power plants. This average lead-time required is 10 or 11 years up to 19 years. For these others, it's only 2-5 years. Wind and solar are all we need to provide all global energy. Even new hydroelectric power plants, most of them are built-out already, but a new hydro plant typically gets built more quickly than a new nuclear plant. As a result, we can replace coal more quickly. So Jacobson factors the opportunity costs, in terms of emissions, of having to wait around, wondering if the nuclear plants will ever be built. Emissions from a nuclear exchange are considered, he does not ignore the possibility of these emissions, nor the possible death rates, however, regardless of whether or not these are included, nuclear is not as good as these other ones in dealing with climate change or air pollution, and the risk of catastrophe from wind and solar plants are zero. There are terrorism risks associated with hydroelectric power plants, because they are more centralized. In sum, wind, water and solar power simply beat out other alternatives. We need definite solutions which can be implemented quickly.
Robert Hargraves
November 8, 2012 (4:50 am)
Dear anonymous, You provide no evidence that CO2 equivalent emissions from building nuclear power plants are "much higher" than renewables, because they are not. You and the other anti-nukes are those responsible for the long delays in building nuclear power plants, which defers the benefits. Re-read Mark Z Jacobsen's materials to learn that his postulated CO2 emissions from nuclear power plants are due to this logic — nuclear power begets nuclear weapons, nuclear weapons beget nuclear war, nuclear war destroys the earth's cities, and the burning cities release CO2, attributed to nuclear power plant construction!
November 11, 2012 (4:04 pm)
Dear anonymous, please use a name. We all have at least some name we go by on this website.
Nuclear does not produce CO2. It works at night or daylight, in calm wind, and in hurricane force winds.
It is true the 1970 level of Pressurized Water Reactors take a very long time to build and develop, but low pressure high temperature thorium and salt cooled reactors are faster to build. Lower pressure means less complexity, less cost, and more safety.
I must admit, Anonymous, you have a much easier case to justify. There is a hype of "green" energy funding ( and kickbacks) and the 'pie in the sky' story about how solar power and windmills are going to save the world like magic. Wind doesn't work everywhere, and solar only works when the sun is shinning.
Solar and wind are only good if you want to pay 10 times the normal price of electricity. That is why nobody builds solar or windmill without government subsidies(and kickbacks).
Thorium is cheap. Really cheap. Cheap as dirt. We need cheap energy that can last forever, and work in daylight, darkness, wind or no wind. We need thorium.

French Toast Recipe Wakes You Up With Lots of Flavor
Sometimes the most flavorful meals that taste the best are the simplest. Believe me, Jenny has some more complicated recipes that taste great, but it's hard to improve on something that tastes great in it's basic form. I love having some coffee with Jenny's French toast. It's a perfect combination of flavors!

Artist Spotlight: Marsi van de Heuvel
Came across some stunning work by artist Marsi van de Heuvel, all drawn with fineliner pens. I especially love the contrast of the organic imagery and the very machine-like strokes. Her new show "Ceremony" just opened at Smith in Cape Town, South Africa, and I'm extremely jealous of anyone who gets to see these at full size. Have a look at more images below.

More than a decade of research has established that sleep plays a critical role in memory consolidation, contributing to its stabilization, enhancement and integration into existing cortical networks. Despite the critical role of sleep in memory and cognition, abnormal sleep has generally been overlooked as a potential contributor to cognitive deficits in schizophrenia (SZ). This oversight is important as effective treatments for cognitive deficits are lacking and abnormal sleep is a potential treatment target. A burgeoning literature suggests that sleep spindles mediate sleep-dependent memory consolidation and cognitive function more generally. At the same time, several recent studies show that sleep spindles are dramatically reduced in SZ. Our preliminary data are the first to link the sleep spindle deficit wih the impairment of sleep-dependent memory consolidation in SZ that we have now documented in four independent studies. They also provide the first demonstration of reduced coherence of spindles across the cortex. Reduced spindle activity also predicted increased severity of positive symptoms and neurocognitive deficits. The observed spindle abnormalities implicate dysfunction in the spindle-generating thalamocortical feedback loop, which is regulated by both ?-aminobutyric acid (GABA)ergic and N-methyl-D-aspartate acid (NMDA) receptor mediated glutamatergic neurotransmission, all of which have been implicated in the pathophysiology of SZ. The primary goal of the proposed study is to replicate and extend the findings of our placebo-controlled, double-blind pilot study that eszopiclone (Lunesta), restores sleep spindles and sleep-dependent consolidation of motor procedural memory in SZ to normal levels. Eszopiclone is a non-benzodiazepine hypnotic agent that acts on GABAA receptors in the thalamic reticular nucleus where sleep spindles are generated. We will also determine whether there is more general impairment of sleep-dependent memory in SZ by examining the consolidation of other types of memory that are known to be impaired. Finally, we will establish the clinical relevance of abnormal sleep in SZ by correlating spindle activity and other sleep parameters with cognitive deficits based on standard neuropsychological assessment, symptom presentation, and functional capacity. In summary, our preliminary data suggest that abnormal spindles impair sleep-dependent memory consolidation in schizophrenia, contribute to positive symptoms, and are a promising novel target for the treatment of cognitive deficits in schizophrenia. This project is novel and both clinically and scientifically significant in that if ur hypotheses are confirmed, it will link a specific cognitive deficit to a particular mechanism and provide an effective intervention. Thus, the proposed research program has the potential to substantially expand current models of cognitive deficits in SZ and to lead to interventions that significantly improve the quality of life of individuals with SZ.
Although sleep plays a critical role in learning and memory, abnormal sleep has generally been overlooked as a potential contributor to cognitive deficits in schizophrenia (SZ). This oversight is important as effective treatments for cognitive deficits are lacking and abnormal sleep is a potential treatment target. We will determine whether eszopiclone, a common sleep medication, can normalize sleep and restore sleep- dependent memory processing in patients with SZ, which can result in improved cognitive function and quality of life.

Welcome to Around the Horns, our daily look at what's happening on the Vikings beat:
The NFL trade deadline arrives at 4 p.m. ET on Tuesday, and one of the names bandied about has been that of Vikings defensive end Jared Allen. The move seems somewhat feasible -- Allen will be a free agent after the season, and at 1-6, the Vikings might have interest in dealing Allen to a contender.
But the logistics of such a trade -- particularly those involving Allen's $14.28 base salary this season -- could be tough to solve before the deadline on Tuesday. Then there's the matter that Phil Mackey of 1500ESPN.com points out, the one involving the compensatory pick the Vikings would effectively be forfeiting by trading Allen.
If they kept Allen, and he left as a free agent next spring, the Vikings could get a mid-round pick in return for the 2015 draft. That's why they'd essentially need to ensure they would get at least a third-round pick back for Allen in a trade, to match the return they could potentially be giving up.
As Mackey points out, the highest compensatory pick awarded last spring was to the Tennessee Titans, who lost three free agents and signed no one. The Vikings would get a draft pick a year sooner in a trade than they would through the compensatory selection process, but getting a team to surrender such a pick, and take on the rest of Allen's salary, could be tough.
Here are today's other Vikings stories of note:
We looked at why Matt Cassel is behind Josh Freeman and Christian Ponder in the Vikings' quarterback pecking order, and how Aaron Rodgers made the Vikings pay for blitzing him on Sunday night.
Joseph Patterson pled not guilty in the death of Adrian Peterson's two-year-old son, according to an Associated Press story.
The Vikings might need to re-evaulate what they're doing with their third-down defense, Chip Scoggins of the Minneapolis Star Tribune writes.
Defensive end Brian Robison is surprised and frustrated by the Vikings' 1-6 start after the work the team put in during the offseason, according to Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press.

Someone should be paying you.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Very nice piece and setting a mood. The operatic vocals sit very well. For the sake of constrictive suggestion is that the overall volume is a bit lower. But the piece certainly deserve 5 stars. You have earned one more fan.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Oh, man. What an atmosphere. I love it. The winds are doing some really cool stuff at around 1:00.
The droning tone that seems to be present throughout the whole thing is really cool. And the vocalization happening at 2:00 is lovely. How did you manage that? Is she from a sound bank? Or did you actually get somebody. Either way, it's very cool- it completely fits.
I found this lovely voice in the sound bank, and I'm glad to hear that you think that it fits! What else can I say? Thank you for your feedback!

On considerable reading and studying one can point out the following points that can help you achieve flawless skin without a doubt. You can try a hand at the following these beauty tips for flawless skin.
Beauty tips for flawless skin
Following are some simple makeup tips for flawless skin:
• Cleansing must become an integral part of your beauty regimen. Use specific cleansers i.e. for dry skin, or for oily skin. Understand your skin type before you jump in to buy a product. This will help you get flawless skin overnight almost. Once you have washed your face, the dirt on your skin will be gone lending a completely new and healthy look to your skin. Every skin type has its own kinds of cleansers, which is why identification of your skin type is very essential.
• Next is exfoliating. This is an important part of achieving that flawless skin naturally. Exfoliating means removal of dead skin cells which lie on the surface of your face. This can be done by scrubbing it out gently by using a face wash which has an inherent scrubber or buying a simple walnut scrub that is available in the market. Remember not to scrub very hard. The process of exfoliating is completed by peeling treatment or scrubbing. This is the most commonly used remedy for flawless skin.

• It's not important whether you have oily or dry skin, what is important is to moisturize regularly. This will stop your skin from cracking and appearing dry. This is the most important step that should be followed in case you want your flawless skin easily. Moisturizing locks the surface of the skin and post moisturizing is time for the skin to breathe and repair the damage caused. Moisturizing must be done twice a day if not more.

• Use sunscreen every time you go out. Harsh attacks from the sun will only reverse the process of having flawless skin. In fact one of the main reasons why people get pimples is because of UV rays. Use the sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 because this will help your skin cope with the harsh rays of the sun. The Sun's rays always work against the building up of beautiful and flawless skin.

People seek me out to find peace in their lives. They feel challenged and overwhelmed. People often comment that I must have a very healthy life with my knowledge and expertise. However, it is easier to help others than myself. I often guide people to re balance and raise their boundaries to expect the love and respect they deserve. I ethically believe I can not offer advice I do not abide by myself. Solutions to find happiness need to be simple, easy and accessible to everyone, so this year I plan to test out everything and educate myself. Join me in my blog and social media as I explore the road to happiness through balance. I invite you to give me feedback and ask questions I can explore to help. You are my most valuable learning tool and I appreciate everything you offer
Love & fear
With new love comes fear. As we mature, our previous experiences haunt us. When the pleasure of love hits, the fear of losing it is intense. The intensity of finding someone with whom you connect often makes you protect yourself against the risk of intense emotional pain. Our fear instinct is triggered when we feel rejection, anger or judgment.
How can you balance these fears?

IN A NUTSHELL: The 22nd-ranked University of San Diego women's soccer team (5-1-2) will put their four-match unbeaten streak on the line this week against another pair of Big West Conference opponents. On Friday, the Toreros will welcome Cal State Northridge to Torero Stadium for a 7 p.m. non-conference showdown. Then USD will travel to Stockton, Calif. for a 1 p.m. non-conference contest with the University of the Pacific Tigers at Stagg Memorial Stadium.
LAST TIME OUT: The Toreros ran their unbeaten streak to four as they posted back-to-back wins against UC Irvine and UC Riverside this past week. On Friday, the Toreros got a quick goal from junior forward Amy Epsten in the second minute of the match to give USD a 1-0 lead. After Irvine tied the match and forced overtime, Jen Mello came through for USD as she scored the game-winning goal in the 91st minute of the match. On Sunday, San Diego again got out to a quick 1-0 lead thanks to Epsten's second goal of the week in the sixth minute of action. Riverside tied things up in the 27th minute, then in the 57th minute, Mello scored her second difference-maker of the week to give USD a 2-1 lead. Freshman Ashleigh Shoughro then put the match out of reach with her second goal of the season in the 82nd minute of action to put the game at its final of 3-1.
THE POLLS: The Toreros moved up three spots in the latest Soccer America top-25 poll to No. 22 after posting a 2-0-0 record this past week. USD is also listed as "Other Receiving Votes" in the latest Soccerbuzz top-30 poll, the NSCAA top-25 poll and in the Soccer Times top-25 poll. In Soccerbuzz's West Region poll, the Toreros check in at No. 9 and in the NSCAA West Region Poll, USD is ranked No. 5. Neither Cal State Northridge or Pacific are ranked in any of the polls.
SCOUTING THE MATADORS: Cal State Northridge enters the week with an overall record of 2-4-1 after picking up an overtime win over Hawaii this past week. Northridge and USD have met on four prior occasions with the Toreros claiming all four matches. Salma Tarik leads the team's offense with a team-high two goals and has one assist for a team-leading five points. Kellie Drenner anchors down the defense in goal as she is posting a 2.30 goals-against-average and owns a 0-1-0 record. Cal State Northridge is under the direction of second-year head coach Keith West. During his tenure at Northridge, West has posted an overall record of 12-13-1.
SCOUTING THE TIGERS: Pacific enters the week with an overall record of 5-2-1 after winning matches over Cal State Bakersfield and Valparaiso this past week. The Tigers and Toreros have met on four previous occasions with the Toreros holding a 3-1-0 edge. The offensive leader for the Tigers is Bunny Dickson, who has a team-leading four goals and has one assist for a team-best nine points. On the defensive side of things, senior goalkeeper Jaime Souza anchors things down with her 0.49 goals-against-average. The Tigers are under the direction of 13th-year head coach Keith Coleman. During his time in Stockton, Coleman has posted an overall record of 126-105-25.
MELLO NAMED WCC CO-PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Junior forward Jen Mello of the University of San Diego women's soccer team was named the West Coast Conference Co-Player of the Week, the conference office announced Monday afternoon. Mello, who transferred to USD from cross-town rival San Diego State University, helped lead the Toreros to a 2-0 record this past week. Mello scored her first two goals in a Torero uniform, both of them were game-winners. Mello was able to net the difference maker in USD's 2-1 overtime win over UC Irvine this past Friday. Then on Sunday, Mello's goal in the 57th minute was again the difference maker in a 3-1 win over UC Riverside. Mello is now one of three toreros to tally two goals.
TOREROS AGAINST THE BIG WEST: So far this season, the Toreros have posted a perfect 2-0-0 record against opponents from the Big West Conference. USD will get to put that unblemished record on the line this week as they host Cal State Northridge on Friday, then travel to Stockton on Sunday for a 1 p.m. match against Pacific. USD will have one more match later this season against a member of the Big West in Cal State Fullerton, at Titan Stadium on Nov. 4
GOING STREAKING: San Diego is in the midst of a four-match unbeaten streak. The Toreros have only lost one match of the season, and that was back on Sept. 9, since then USD has posted wins over Cal Poly, UC Riverside, UC Irvine and tied No. 6 UCLA. The Toreros will look to extend that streak this week with a pair of matches.
WHO'S HOT FOR THE TOREROS: Along with the WCC Player of the Week Jen Mello, Amy Epsten has been red hot for the Toreros as of late. Epsten also tallied two goals this past week to give her a team-leading three on the season. Epsten is now tied with Leigh Ann Robinson for the team-lead in points with seven, as Epsten has one assist and Robinson has two goals and three assists to her credit.
DE-FENSE (CLAP, CLAP): The Toreros' defense clamped down against a pair of opponents this past weekend, holding a pair of powerful offenses in check en route to a pair of victories. San Diego held UC Irvine to just five shots in handing the Anteaters their second loss of the year. Two days later, the Toreros held UC Riverside to just six shots to snap the Highlanders three-game winning streak.
THE GREENWOOD FILE: Since taking over the San Diego women's soccer program in 2003, Ada Greenwood has upheld the rich soccer tradition that San Diego is known for and continues to build a successful and nationally recognized program. Just the third coach in USD's storied 15 year history, Greenwood has compiled an overall record of 39-36-7 in his four seasons at the helm. As San Diego's top assistant from 1998-2002, Greenwood helped USD to a 66-30-5 record and four NCAA College Cup appearances. In his second year as a head coach in 2004, he guided USD to a 12-8-2 overall record, a 5-1-1 mark in the difficult West Coast Conference, and a second round appearance in the NCAA College Cup, maintaining USD's streak of six consecutive postseason appearances. For his efforts, Greenwood was honored as both the 2004 West Coast Conference Coach of the Year and the 2004 San Diego Union Tribune Coach of the Year.
TOREROS TABBED FOURTH IN WCC PRESEASON POLL: The University of San Diego women's soccer team was selected to finish fourth in the 2007 West Coast Conference race according to a vote of the league's coaches. Coming off of an NCAA Tournament quarterfinal appearance in 2006, the University of Portland was selected as the preseason favorite to take home the 2007 West Coast Conference regular season title, as voted on by the conference's head coaches. The Pilots, who return nine starters from last year's squad, received six first place votes to tally 48 overall points. Santa Clara University was selected second with 44 total points, and received two first place votes. The Broncos are followed in the poll by Pepperdine University (33) and the University of San Diego (30). Selected fifth was Loyola Marymount University, which tallied 27 points, followed by Gonzaga University with 22 points. The University of San Francisco (12) and Saint Mary's College (8) round out this year's preseason poll in seventh and eighth place, respectively.
