No reliable anatomical or functional alterations have been confirmed in psychiatric neuroimaging; however it can become reliable with translational impact on clinical practice when considering crucial methodological issues. We provide guidelines to authors, editors and reviewers in the implementation/evaluation of neuroimaging studies to bend neuroimaging to be more than basic neuroscience.
More than three decades after Johnstone's first computerised axial tomography of the brain of individuals with schizophrenia [1], no consistent or reliable anatomical or functional alterations have been univocally associated with any mental disorder and no neurobiological alterations have been ultimately confirmed in psychiatric neuroimaging.
A number of methodological problems may underlie the inconsistencies across studies and the difficulty of identifying reliable results. Heterogeneity in psychiatric neuroimaging originates from multiple differences across studies: in conceptual issues underlying psychiatric diagnoses and psychopathology [2,3], the inclusion criteria for and the clinical characteristics of psychiatric samples [4]; the use of different paradigms and designs [4], and the use of different forms of image acquisition and image analysis [5].
The latter point is critically addressed by the recent study of Ioannidis [6]. He stated that "the excess significance may be due to unpublished negative results, or it may be due to negative results having been turned into positive results through selective exploratory analyses"[6]. Because of multiple comparisons across different brain regions, reporting of regions of interest (ROIs) can be guided by post-hoc significance of the results, with the whole brain results remaining unpublished [6]. Additionally, when there are many ROI analyses that can be performed, only one of them, the one with the best results, may be presented [6]. These practices limit the correct localization of the potential brain abnormalities, which should be based on a whole-brain analysis of the differences between patients and controls. To make an analogy, it's as if an attorney decides to investigate only an arbitrary subgroup of the suspects of a crime, and not to report any proof, which may involve individuals which he wants to keep untarnished.
As Ioannidis acknowledged these concerns do mainly refer to morphometry studies and not directly extend to automated whole-brain voxel-based studies or functional imaging studies. In particular, voxel-based meta-analyses have the potential to overcome the limited sample size of individual studies revealing structural differences at specific brain coordinates rather than differences in volumes of pre-specified ROIs. A recently developed meta-analytic method, Signed Differential Mapping [7,8], considers null findings as well and thus attenuates the disproportionate influence of single study data sets. However, even meta-analyses of voxel-based studies are grounded on the available published results, which often do not report null findings. In this regard, it must be noted that no meta-analytic method can detect an abnormality if this is deliberately not reported in the individual studies, e.g. by repeating the analysis with different parameters until the finding disappears. This may be the case of abnormalities in regions not thought to be related to the disorder, which may be "felt" to be false positives or artifacts [8] by the authors of the studies and by the peer-reviewers.
Only by overcoming these biases, the results of psychiatric neuroimaging can become more reliable and have a translational impact on clinical practice. The study by Ioannidis represents a milestone in psychiatric imaging, pointing to crucial methodological issues at the level of imaging analysis. Although the Ioannidis study makes general recommendations, this manuscript tries to formulate a checklist of practical guidelines for authors, editors and reviewers that are easy to implement and follow. This may help to ultimately bend psychiatric neuroimaging to be something more than basic neuroscience:
i. With an increasing number of ways of preprocessing the data becoming available, this should be described in enough detail by the authors to allow exact replication;
ii. ROI studies (employing preselected masks or adopting Small Volume Corrections) should first report standard whole brain results and acknowledge if no significant clusters were detected at whole brain level before presenting the ROI findings;
iii. Both ROIs and whole brain studies should first report the results significant at p<0.05 corrected for multiple comparisons (i.e. FWE, FDR, Montecarlo) and then employ more liberal thresholds;
iv. When several ROIs are used, correction for multiple comparisons should be based on a mask which includes all of them rather than considering each ROI separately;
v. Authors should be encouraged to blind the statistical analyses of the imaging datasets to avoid ROI analyses be built post-hoc on the basis of the results;
vi. All studies should report a statistical analysis modelling an agreed set of possible confounding variables; these could include, for instance, gender, age and handedness. In addition, studies would have the option of reporting further statistical analyses modelling additional study-specific confounding variables;
vii. All studies should acknowledge the number of analyses or brain correlations performed, giving a clear rationale for each, to avoid conducting exploratory analyses and reporting the most significant result;
viii. The potential overlapping of the patient and control group with previously published studies should be clearly acknowledged, and the spatial coordinates always reported, to assist future voxel-based meta-analyses in the field;
ix. Peer-reviews should be as strict when assessing the methods of a study reporting abnormalities in expected brain regions, as when assessing the methods of a study not finding any expectable finding;
x. Acceptance or rejection of a manuscript should not depend on whether abnormalities are detected or not, nor on the specific brain regions found to be abnormal.
The authors' declare that they have no competing interests.
SB and PFP conceived these guidelines and drafted the manuscript. JR and AM helped discussing the limitations of imaging analysis. All authors read and approved the final manuscript.

The U.S. Air Force has completed a lengthy investigation into the brief disappearance of Jill Metzger (remember her?) and concluded that she was abducted.
After talking to hundreds of people, canvassing areas of Kyrgyzstan and conducting a forensic analysis of the evidence, investigators determined that all of the evidence supported Metzger's account of what had happened, Bunko said in an email.
"By analysis of all of the available information, the OSI eliminated multiple alternate scenarios and concluded the information uncovered is consistent with Maj. Metzger's account of the events," Bunko said.
Metzger went missing on Sept. 5, 2006, after visiting a department store in the Kyrgyz capital Bishkek.
"A detailed review of surveillance tapes of the shopping center from which Maj. Metzger was abducted depicts an apparent organized surveillance effort against her on 5 September by at least two unidentified persons," Bunko said. "As Maj. Metzger departed the mall, one of the individuals conducting the surveillance closely followed her."
Back in 2006, Metzger's story seemed impossible to verify. There was also a major online campaign to paint her as lying about the incident, including some accusations of a terminated pregnancy and an Air Force cover up.
But the Air Force has concluded that she was indeed abducted by criminals who mistook her for a victim of similar appearance. There's no word on whether the Air Force confirmed her captors were European, as Metzger claimed at the time, though that can probably be assumed given their endorsement of her version of events.
Metzger reportedly stabbed one of her captors with a stick she had sharpened into a shiv and then locked him in a room, escaping into the city where she got a local couple to bring her to the police. As of October, 2010, Metzger was back on active duty.

On Tuesday night, the netizens woke up to a long apology letter from singer Arijit Singh on his Facebook page. And the apology was directed to none other than Salman Khan. The 29-year-old singer, who has given hits like Tum Hi Ho and Gerua, took to social media platform to publicly apologise to the Bajrangi Bhaijaan actor.
Arijit took to Facebook to pen an open letter to Salman, calling it his last resort, as Bhai ignored his texts or calls. In the letter, he has apologised for unintentionally rubbing Salman the wrong way at a concert.
But soon enough, Singh deleted his post from Facebook. However, the reason behind the post was never revealed.
But it seems the cat is out of the bag. If reports are to be believed, the singer was referring to an awards show which took place in 2014 where Arijit won the best singer award.
Recently, a video has surfaced on Twitter which shows Arijit accepting an award from Salman Khan and Riteish Deshmukh and saying, "Aap Logo Ne Toh Sula Diya". To which Salman replies, "Aur isme humara koi dosh nahi hai, agar aise gaane bajte rahenge.." and hums the tune of Singh's popular song Tum Hi Ho from Aashiqui 2.

My colleagues, it's time to chill out. It's time to chill out. Government takeover of the health care system? Let it go.
The private insurance companies are still in charge. Your private doctor is still in charge. You have the choice of where you want to go, what hospital you want to go to. All we are saying--and I am going to say it to my district. I have got 150,000 constituents who don't have health insurance, and 135,000 of them are going to have health insurance after this bill passes. They don't care what your rhetoric is and your fear is. They're going to have health insurance for the first time maybe in their lives.
Kids who are in college will be able to stay on their parents' health insurance. We're going to put some brakes on the health companies' ability to cut you off for preexisting conditions or just cut you off if it costs too much.
It's time to chill out, Republicans. Let this bill work. Let our constituents finally get health care.

Oh, hello. I didn't see you there.
You have dialed the website of Thomas M. Dickinson, Jr. That's me. I am that person who was just mentioned. Some people call me Mr. Tom. You don't have to call me that if you don't want to. It's kind of goofy.
This website isn't all that interesting or important. It's not meant to function as an up-to-the minute "blog" or anything like that. It's just kind of meant to explain who I am and what what I've been up to and where you can find me if you're looking to find me.
If you're looking for something more "up to the minute" and "hip to the now" and "youth culture with their social media and their rock and roll", feel free to follow me on Twitter or Tumblr (or both!)

The Most Entertaining Booth App for the iPhone Has Now Arrived(October 26, 2011)
Anaheim, CA (PRWEB) October 26, 2011
New mobile app start up Analog Nest is proud to announce the release of its debut title Santa Booth, a charmingly hilarious face manipulation app for iPhone and iPod touch devices. The app is now available for download on iTunes for $0.99 along with a free version. Santa Booth realistically transforms one's face into 1 of 4 Christmas characters: Santa Claus, Mrs. Claus, Elf, and a Reindeer. Side effects may increase cravings for milk and cookies.
Although each Christmas character transformation could have been made into an app of its own, we wanted to provide maximum value for Santa Booth by essentially making 4 booth apps in 1. Drew Ramsey, Co-Owner
Taking full advantage of face detection technology, Santa Booth manipulates one's facial features and adds additional elements to the face, producing an extremely authentic Christmas character transformation. For instance, by choosing Santa, Santa Booth will make one's face fat, nose round, put bags under the eyes, add rosy cheeks, and allows the option to add a beard, hair, eyebrows, Santa hat, and glasses. Santas other 3 friends use exclusive facial manipulations of their own.
"Too much fun! Seriously get ready to spend time making everyone in your house look like Santa and his elves! Amy Mayfield
Analog Nest is one of the most recent start ups for entrepreneur brothers Tyler and Drew Ramsey, who own a womens fashion brand (Idylle Clothing) that they have run for over 6 years. Although apps are a huge diversion from the fashion industry, the brothers are focused and determined to become one of the top mobile app publishers by bringing their unique design and marketing experience to the world of apps. Santa Booth is the first of many exciting game and entertainment apps in the works for Analog Nest.
Coming from a background in graphic design, our focus will always be in superior design and simplicity, and boiling fun down to its simplest form. Tyler Ramsey, Co-Owner.
Start capturing your Holiday memories now by downloading Santa Booth in the iTunes app store.

Learning to Code
Today Ms. Lirenman introduced us to the iPad app Kodable. It is an app that helps us understand some of the basics of coding. For many of us it was very frustrating at first when we couldn't get the fuzzles to move the way they needed to move. But we didn't give up and we were eventually able to solve most of the problems we were presented with. Here are some photos of us using Kodable.

By Colleen Tang
Security is one of the most important features people take into account when looking to rent or buy in a residential building. If you want to reassure potential tenants, consider the property and the surrounding neighbourhood to determine how much additional security your building needs. The good news is there are many simple steps property managers and landlords can take to make residents feel safe and secure.
One of the best things a property manager can do to increase security in an apartment building is to install a good electronic key fob system, says Thomas Reynolds, a Toronto property manager with Park Property Management Inc. Electronic fobs should be required at all entrances, including the front door and the garage door.
"Our locks are all on a fob system," he says. "There are fob readers on the door so not only do we know exactly who has the fobs, but they can't be duplicated. We can go onto the computer and see which fobs are being used."
Reynolds says another important safeguard is to control the number of keys and fobs in circulation. And remember to cancel the fobs of tenants who move out.
Before you start spending money on technological add-ons, be aware that simply having an onsite presence is a deterrent to crime. A residential caretaker, landlord or third-party security guard can perform this role.
"We have resident managers in every building," says Michael Capone, a Toronto property manager with Hollyburn Properties. "They are trained to walk in their buildings, and in the evening, they go to the underground garage to make sure it's secure."
An additional preventive measure is to vary the times when security officers patrol the property. "In our buildings, we have mobile security, and they do drive- and walk-throughs," Reynolds says. "They stagger their hours and change their route." Every morning, Park Property Management receives a written report from the security staff.
If you're considering security cameras for your building, some of the best locations are high-traffic areas, such as the front door, lobby, exits and parking garage, Reynolds says. It's also a good idea to put cameras in places where foot traffic is minimal, such as stairwells or the storage locker room.
It's important to make sure your property is well lit both inside and out. All buildings have a lighting requirement for the hallway, stairwells and interior that inspectors are trained to check, Capone says. But don't neglect the exterior spaces. "A tenant should get nervous or feel vulnerable if the outside of the building isn't well lit, if the underground garage isn't well lit or if the exits from the outside garage aren't well lit," Capone says.
Effective lighting—whether your lights are on motion sensors or timers—increases the likelihood that a criminal will avoid your building and go somewhere where they are less likely to be seen, Capone explains.
Posting signage inside the building is another effective—and low-cost—way to increase security. Simply reminding residents not to hold doors open for people they don't recognize is a sure-fire way to reduce the number of unauthorized people entering a building.
"One can never be secure just because you have all the gadgets," Reynolds says. "You have to make residents conscious of who is entering the buildings with them." If your signage is not effective, try getting the message out through newsletters or by talking to residents during group meetings.
Aside from making residents more diligent, managers and superintendents also play an important role in increasing building security simply by being on the premises.
"In my experience, if there's more visibility of the staff person or staff team, chances are someone will not cause problems in that building," Capone says. "If you create enough deterrents, then [criminals] are going to move somewhere else."

Asian Sweet Potato Fries

READY IN: 30mins
Recipe by eneldridge
On a night when I had very little in the house I pieced this recipe together as a side dish to go with some Asian-style chicken. I used ground ginger, but I'm sure it would be even better with fresh. Not spicy despite the chili powder, but add more if you like things hotter. These are not very crispy like regular fries, but still made a nice side dish.

Corn Chowder
Recipe by Chef on the coast
My sister-in-law shared this recipe with me. DH's family had this growing up - and I really liked it when I first tried it. You can go with either red or russett potatoes in this recipe! If you don't like/have cream corn - don't use it. We have used 1 pint home-canned corn or 1 pint frozen kernel corn as a replacement.

Was sorely tempted to cut back on the bacon in this recipe, but then didn't! However, I did sonething which was probably not intended for the chowder ~ I steamed russet potatoes & diced them, unpeeled (I LIKE THE SKIN!) Anyway, when all was said & done, I had an OUTSTANDING CHOWDER that I happily shared with some neighbors! Thanks for posting your recipe!

Countries » Netherlands » Local Customs
The Dutch are among the most informal and easy-going people in Europe, and there are not many strict social taboos to speak of. It is unlikely that Dutch people will be offended simply by your behaviour or appearance. In fact it is more likely that visitors themselves will be offended by overly direct conversation. Nevertheless, the standards for overt rudeness and hostility are similar to those in other western European countries. If you feel you are deliberately being treated offensively, then you probably are.
The exception to this openness is personal wealth. It is considered vulgar to for instance reveal the height of your salary, so asking somebody about this will be considered nosy and will probably just get you an evasive answer. Likewise, it's not advisable to be forceful about your own religion or to assume a Dutch person you've met is a Catholic or a Calvinist, since most people do not adhere to any faith at all, and the country has a long, proud history of cultural and religious tolerance. In urban areas it is not considered rude to ask somebody about this, but you'll generally be expected to be entirely tolerant of whatever the other person believes and not attempt to proselytize in any way. Openly religious behaviour is usually met with bewilderment and ridicule rather than hostility. An exception is the Dutch Bible Belt which runs from Zeeland into South Holland, Utrecht and Gelderland, and consists of towns with many strong Dutch Reformed Christians, who are more likely to be insulted by different religious views. Openly nationalist sentiments are likewise viewed with some suspicion among the general public, though there are a number of nationalistic celebrations like Queen's Day (Koninginnedag, April 30th) and during football championships. Mostly though, these nationalistic celebrations are mostly used as an excuse to party together rather than being true "nationalistic" events.
In the Netherlands, cheek-kissing is a common way of greeting among women and between women and men. Two men will generally shake hands. Kissing is particularly suitable for informal occasions, and is also common practice when congratulating someone. Hand shaking is more appropriate for formal occasions. Trying to shake hands when offered a kiss or refusing a kiss altogether could be considered odd or rude.
Dutch people will kiss three times alternating right and left cheeks. This could lead to awkward situations for British people, being used to just two kisses. Also, always kiss on the cheeks instead of giving air-kisses.
As mentioned above, the Netherlands is quite liberal when it comes to homosexuality and by far is considered to be one of the gay-friendliest countries in the world. The Netherlands has a reputation of being the first country to recognise same-sex marriage, and openly displaying your orientation wouldn't cause much upset in the Netherlands. However, even a gay friendly country like the Netherlands has room for some criticisms of homosexuality, but this varies depending on where one travels. Regardless, with violence and discrimination against gays being rare as well as the legal status of same-sex marriage in the Netherlands, this country may be considered a gay utopia and should be safe for gays and lesbians (except sometimes in religious neighbourhoods in the major Dutch cities, after big football matches or in demonstrations if there is a violent attitude in general).

I have a client who was a sole trade.
The business was transferred to a limited company on 1 November 2009
An election under S266 CA2001 was made to transfer the fixed assets at a value that does not give rise to a balancing allowance / charge for capital allowances
The capital allowances claim is subject to enquiry and it would now appear that it would be beneficial to withdraw the election
Is this possible ?
Please login or register to join the discussion.
Out of time?
Hi - Even though there's no specific section I can see that provides for withdrawal, I'd normally say you could withdraw but I think you'd have to do it within the 2 year limit, so you may have missed the boat.
In such cases I do it anyway and see what happens!

Pope Francis: Recognize common values to contest those who exploit differences for brutal violence
Pope Francis arrived exactly three minutes early to Sarajevo, at 8:57 a.m.
It is his second official trip to a European country. His goal is to help Bosnia-Herzegovina heal some of the wounds that are still open 20 years after a civil war killed 250,000 people in the country.
People from different ethnic groups awaited the Pope on the tarmac: Serbians, Bosnians, and Croatians. An official meeting would take place later.
Even airport workers broke protocol and stopped to greet Pope Francis.
Later, Pope Francis got into a Ford Focus and drove through the streets of Sarajevo, headed toward the presidential palace.
The three members of the presidency, each representing a different ethnic group, were waiting for the Pope.
Then Pope Francis delivered his first speech of the day. It was a call for dialogue and reconciliation that was well received by the Muslim representative to the Serbian presidency.
Presidency of Bosnia-Herzegovina
"Even today total equality has not been achieved for citizens in every part of the country. For that reason, we must work together with great dedication.â?
Indeed, in some areas there is true segregation. Sometimes, Muslim Bosnians and Catholic Croats use separate facilities, like classrooms.
"It is vital that all citizens be equal both before the law and its implementation, whatever their ethnic, religious or geographical affiliation. All alike will then feel truly involved in public life. Enjoying the same rights, they will be able to make their specific contribution to the common good.â?
Different civil, diplomatic, and political representatives heard Pope Francis speak. He told them that their responsibility goes beyond just their country.
"In order to successfully oppose the barbarity of those who would make of every difference the occasion and pretext for further unspeakable violence, we need to recognize the fundamental values of human communities, values in the name of which we can and must cooperate, build and dialogue, pardon and grow; this will allow different voices to unite in creating a melody of sublime nobility and beauty, instead of the fanatical cries of hatred.â?
Before his departure, the Pope came together with the three representatives to the presidency and released doves. He greeted them in Bosnian.
"Mir vama. Peace be with you.â?

Architect: Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, 1967, addition 1989
This five-story building is noteworthy
for curving around the large copper beech tree in front of it. The original building was merely a blocky concrete, glass, and brick affair with an admittedly good view. The design of the remodeled structure is conservationist in nature, having been designed thus to preserve the tree, which has its own booster club, the Copper Beech Society. The library was built in two parts; the 1989 addition is the part that curves. This was a great remodel, nearly doubling the size of the library, while vastly improving its looks. The library now sports an appropriate "book-end" look and copper roofing on its front overhang.
Across from the library is Neuberger Hall (1967; Wolf, Zimmer, Gunsul, Frasca), an ugly glass and aluminum box, but to its south is the old Shattuck School (now called Shattuck Hall), a beautiful Georgian brick structure by architect Floyd A. Naramore, architect of the Portland School District. If one walks down Shattuck Hall's north side, one can get a glimpse of Piggott's Castle on the hills to the southwest.

|[jira] Commented: (MRM-1357) Allow deployment of attached release artifacts if POM is identical
|Mon, 08 Mar 2010 09:54:06 GMT
[ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRM-1357?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=213034#action_213034 ] Bruno F commented on MRM-1357: ------------------------------ I really wonder if it is a matter of Maven repository manager or deploy plugin. On one hand we have some related logic in Archiva...: - snapshot-only of release-only repositories - forbid re-deployment of release artifacts ... so it could make sense to extend that logic. But on the other hand, it seems understandable to consider that it is a deploy plugin problem: when a multi-artifacts project deployment fails in the middle (let's say for a network reason), the deploy plugin should be able to deploy only the "delta", thus preventing from re-deploying the artifacts that already are. In this regard, such a capability (if implemented by retrieving artifacts from the MRM and by making a comparison, and not by storing some state on the client-side) would solve the problem described above. I don't know if it is relevant but: could it be that the MRM is the only place where some transactional logiccan be placed (in a multi-user environment) in order to ensure that a release artifact will not be re-deployed with the same version number but not the same "binary content"? Anyway, I am a too recent Maven user to really feel or know where the correction should be done. > Allow deployment of attached release artifacts if POM is identical > ------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: MRM-1357 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRM-1357 > Project: Archiva > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: WebDAV Interface > Affects Versions: 1.3 > Environment: Windows XP SP3 > Reporter: Bruno F > Fix For: Backlog > > > In the context of the build of a native application, one might have zip-artifacts containing several DLL or so files like: > boost:boost_regex:1.34.1:zip > In order to distinguish between platforms, it seems to be recommended to use the classifier: > boost:boost_regex:1.34.1:zip:bin-x86-windows-vc8 > or: > boost:boost_regex:1.34.1:zip:bin-x86-linux2.6-gcc3.3 > The new feature that prevents from deploying a release artifact is really great but it lacks the possibility to deploy attached artifacts when the POM is the same (modulo platform-dependent line-break concerns, and that's important!). > In the example above, it could enable to deploy the boost:boost_regex:1.34.1:zip:bin-x86-windows-vc8 artifact from a Windows machine(coming along with a boost:boost_regex:1.34.1:pom artifact), then to deploy the boost:boost_regex:1.34.1:zip:bin-x86-linux2.6-gcc3.3 artifact from a Linux machine (coming along with the same boost:boost_regex:1.34.1:pom artifact). > Maybe this could be generalized to any kind of artifact? If the artifact to deploy is the same, Archiva should not fail and simply skip the deployment of that artifact? -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira

Two-year limit on lust for you
February 2nd, 2006
Dr Petra
Many of the papers this week have featured research from the University of Pisa that claimed to have proved how different hormones affect desire.
The study, summarised in Chemistry World, used blood samples from a number of volunteers at different stages in their relationships and identified in those who hadn't been seeing each other very long had a higher amount of neurotrophins in the blood, but this wasn't present in those who'd been dating for a couple of years – although those participants had higher levels of oxytocin (which researchers dubbed 'the cuddle hormone').
The findings are interesting but do need a closer look. Unfortunately the research that launched all those global headlines isn't reported in full in the journal, but as part of a more general overview of 'cupid chemistry'. This means there are no details given on the number of participants in the research, whether they were straight or gay, their ages, or their backgrounds (for example, were they all students?).
What is interesting is the researchers studied people at the beginning of a relationship and tested them again 12 and 24 months later. So all those people who split up in that time presumably were excluded – yet we don't know if in that period their hormones had also altered? It's possible and necessary to know since otherwise we can't be certain the outcomes reported here are down to relationships, or down to time.
I'm also interested about this two-year period. It's commonly cited within the general media, particularly women's magazines, that when you first meet someone it's all fireworks and excitement, but two or three years down the line you both arrive at domestic dullsville. Yet we also know from couples in long term relationships that their desires and attractions fluctuate during their time together – so it might be in five, ten, or twenty years they have different reactions to their relationships, and perhaps report and experience more passion? Certainly some sex surveys have found this.
It's fascinating also how this research appears to work on the information from blood testing. I wonder if those in the research would report their relationship in the same way as the blood tests were interpreted? The researchers claim an increase in oxytocin would lead to less passion but greater bonding – but unless we include participant self reports this isn't enough data to go on. It would be very interesting if blood tests said one thing, but participants self reports said something very different.
Even if we do include self reports, most people are now culturally primed to report sex less positively if they've been together a while, simply because our wider society describes sex like this. Think about it, when did you last see a movie, pick up a magazine or read a self-help book that didn't imply that the start of a relationship is the most passionate – and best – time?
We've not always felt this way. In the past people believed relationships would get better as you aged, and in many cultures there's no belief in love at first sight, but a view that over time you grow to love and desire your partner. So maybe these current studies confirm and fit into our cultural stereotypes rather than look for other answers.
Perhaps this research would generate different outcomes if we viewed the later stages of relationships more positively. If we believed sex only really got good after you'd been with someone for a few years and knew them well, perhaps we'd devalue those pesky passion hormones and praise the cuddly ones. Within these news reports and the overview in Chemistry World that most certainly wasn't going on. Although it's just a matter of choice that people are representing relationships in this way.
Currently we're obsessed with hormones. Magazine articles in particular will mention them, usually incorrectly, when describing sex. They're used to 'science up' a story although most writers haven't a basic biological knowledge (nor do the experts they get to back up pieces) which means we're given a very misleading view about our biology. Hormones are amazing things, but there's still a lot we don't know about them, and certainly describing them in isolation to 'prove' something's happening sexually isn't particularly accurate or helpful.
It's a 'so what' kind of finding. Your average couple who've been together a while might now have an answer to why they have less sex, but what help does this research offer them? In fact, they may be perfectly happy with their sex lives, but this is another study that implies if you've been together a while then there's bound to be something lacking in your sex life. And that's why we see an entire industry based on reminding people about this change in their sex lives and demanding they 'relight their fires'.
There's a darker side to this sort of research. It works on a deficiency model. People have hormones, then hormone levels are discovered to disappear or drop. So the answer is to take more hormones.
Rather than seeing this as a natural body process, it's measured and interpreted – in some areas of science and most of the media as a dysfunction or disease in need of repair.
In these latest reports, it reinforces the idea that new relationships are the most passionate, and over time they begin to lack something. That lack of something is problematised and we already know that there are scientists and salespeople working to push products to remedy these deficits.
It's a case of science setting the scene for others to exploit.
Whilst I agree some people require hormonal supplements for genuine medical conditions, and believe hormones are fascinating, it isn't helpful when sex is reduced to chemicals and chemicals are used as 'proof' of behaviour without a wider scientific, cultural and historical interpretation. The research is very reductioninst and deterministic. We're basically at the mercy of our hormones.
It's very subtle, but often scientists don't realise instead of explaining something independently, they're actually propping up a very current view of sex and relationships.Tweet

The temp change did not appear to affect the freezer. The refrigerator temp stood at around 68 for some 10 hours. I froze bootled water and stuck the bottles around in the frig, which probably helped somewhat. At 11:00 p.m. the temp had gone back to 31 and a negative -1 and was still there in the morning.
Model #JCD2295KES. The refrigerator is about 5 yrs old.

One of my current working passions is making caricatures. I think it´s funny when you try to figure out the essence of a person behind a face. Daniel Clowes, one of the most influential cartoonists of this century (at least for me), developed a successful caricature work. Every face he drew could show whole personalities. And some of those faces could be misleading. You could find a truly paranoid monster hidden behind a housewife´s innocent and perfect smile.
All of this started when I tried making my own caricature. I guess it worked well. After this, I tried to pay tribute to my wife and, to some extent, to characters from series that I usually enjoy watching. The results you see below. I hope you enjoy these ones.

Alaska Governor Sarah Palin bounced onto the national stage as Senator John McCain's running mate and now Black Alaskans are speaking out against her, claiming she isn't interested in their issues, according to the Chicago Defender. Many Blacks in Alaska fault Palin for not placing African-Americans in her administration, accuse her of avoiding requests to meet with Black leaders, and note her refusal to attend the state's first, major African-American celebration. However, some disagree with the claims."I'm African-American and I am a big rebuttal to those charges," said Bill McAllister, Governor Palin's press secretary. "She is not averse to hiring African-Americans."

Orchid Photo Week: Zooming in
Photo Week "Beauties at Changi Airport Singapore" #9:
So guys, I'm really, really sorry for the delay but life (read: my final paper) had taken over my life and I didn't have the time and the energy to post things in the last few months. But here they finally are, the last two photos of this series.
I'm intentionally saved them until the end because I, as an amateur, am not really good with nice-looking close-ups yet and I feel incredibly lucky that with these two (especially the latter one) I managed to get such a beautiful close-up of the orchid. I also like these dusty pollen particles and the way the orchid looks at you as if it had eyes…
Do you like it? I first wasn't sure about putting as the last one, but it just seems as if it were the most successful of all the shots… but as the saying goes, tastes differ from one person to another.
And finally, I just want to thank you for all the great response I've received on this series so far. I think it might be my most successful one! I'm incredibly glad to know that you like my photos and every time someone commented or liked I felt truly honoured. It'd be nice, of course, to get some criticism but I'm already very satisfied this way. So, thank you all for your comments and likes!
Until next time,
Orchid Photo Week: Duotone
Photo Week "Beauties at Changi Airport Singapore" #9:
So this is already my second to last post for this photo series! And as yesterday, not a really spectacular one; but I quite like the colours of these orchids above – I've hardly seen yellow-ish orchids before. (Especially not ones with a purple-coloured center.) And what I think worked out well is the composition of the photo: I actually wanted to take a close-up of the centered one above but it simply wasn't possible (I wasn't taking photos with my zoom lens at that moment) so I had to take some more in, which was not the worst decision, I think. (And also,these orchid buds are just lovely!)
An alternative can be found here.
And yeah, I admit, title credits belong to WordPress… the title was not my idea, I'm afraid.
Orchid Photo Week: Clear
Photo Week "Beauties at Changi Airport Singapore" #8:
So, this is officially the most inefficient Photo Week ever. I'm really sorry guys – school has started again and my exams and final paper have unfairly taken over my life and I simply couldn't afford the time to post something. However I hereby inform you that there are still two posts to go, and one of them even contains two photos (because they both belong together, somehow), which will be posted tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.
This orchid above is, again, one of the simple ones, and although I'm not a great fan of putting the focus right in the middle of the picture, I've got to say that I quite like the composition of this shot above. Also, I quite like the colour palette – they remind me of a bamboo wood, somehow. (Yeah, don't ask.) What I also like is the grainy background (it is a little bit grainy, isn't it?). In my opinion grainy photos for modern motives can turn out pretty ugly but this time I didn't mind it as much. Even gives a nice contrast, I think. What do you think?
PS: No alternatives today, sadly.
Orchid Photo Week: Warm
Photo Week "Beauties at Changi Airport Singapore" #7:
Today I let the image speak.
(I actually don't know what to comment since this orchid has caused me some difficulties – be it on my camera display or on my image viewer program, this orchid always looked good. It was only when I was editing the photo and had a really close look at it, that I realised that the colours were far from intense and strong, and that there's a slight blurriness to this photo, which unnerves me a bit. What do you think? It's rather pale, isn't it?)
The alternate version can be found here.
Orchid Photo Week: Fresh
Photo Week "Beauties at Changi Airport Singapore" #6:
Today I present you a photo that could be really, really good… if it wasn't so blurry. I'm still a little upset that I lost control of the focus and it had to turned out this way with the droplets rather being part of the background than the foreground. On the other side you can't always get what you want and I've learned to accept photos like these as part of taking photographs… or art in general. In a way it's similar to the way some inventions or discoveries were invented respectively discovered: by accident. And by accepting that this is just part of the learning process, I was able to see the beauty in this photo and appreciate the way the light falls on the petals and the gentleness they seem to convey; I'm seeing it all now and have to admit that I am a bit proud of this shot. I am. (A really, really small bit.)
And two things more:
– To all my new followers: Thank you so much for following me! I've been quite busy lately and didn't have time to thank you all personally; so don't think that I'm indifferent to your kind follows – I appreciate them a great deal! Really, you keep me going and you help me to believe in me, which is something I haven't done for such a long time now…
– And, as always, an alternative version of this photo will be posted on my photo blog.
Orchid Photo Week: Rosy
Photo Week "Beauties at Changi Airport Singapore" #5:
So for today, I've chosen this rose-coloured orchid. It's a rather simple one compared to the other we've seen but I just really love its simplicity. I'm also somewhat satisfied with the angle I've chosen to take this photo and the way it presents the inside of the orchid. As you may have realised by now, I'm a great friend of close-ups and I'm quite happy that I managed to capture the tiny dots on the inside (considering I'm total amateur).
Oh and yeah, I know, I've missed out on a couple of days again – I'm sorry! But I've been away travelling with my family during the day and working like a mad woman (I mean "mad" as in "mad-because-I-haven't-got-enough-sleep-the-past-weeks-but-I'll-still-try-to-scribble-down-something-for-my-final-paper) at night. So… forgive me?
As always an alternate version will be found here.
Orchid Photo Week: Reddish
Photo Week "Beauties at Changi Airport Singapore" #4:
Oh man, I know, I know – I missed to post something yesterday! I'm really sorry for that. I just had quite a lot to do with my final paper and it's left me with no time to post something.
Maybe the fact that this photo above is one of my best shots in the series will make up for it. Will it?
Anyway, what I love about this shot is a closeup (I'm a sucker for those) and that I managed to get such a nice contrast without editing. (I've edited nothing on this picture.) I just really like this strong colour contrast of the red and green, and what I also particularly like is this pink hue on the inside of the orchid… such a beauty.
Also, an alternative will be posted on my photo blog right after this. So if you're interested, check it out here.
Orchid Photo Week: Pale
Photo Week "Beauties at Changi Airport Singapore" #3:
Sorry guys, no comment today – I'm way too tired from writing on my final paper (I've been deleting and rewriting parts all day long… if any of you have got any tips against writer's block – I'd be extremely thankful!) but there's an alternate version to this which will be posted on my photo blog.
Orchid Photo Week: Diva
Photo Week "Beauties at Changi Airport Singapore" #2:
As I post the photos in chronological order, so in the exact order that I shot them, this beauty here would be the second one. And a quite special one at that. I had never seen such a wildcat-like orchid until then! Somehow, with all her purple colourings and these leopard (or is it cheetah?) dots she reminds me of some Hollywood diva outfit…
Orchid Photo Week: Radiating
Photo Week "Beauties at Changi Airport Singapore" #1:
Oh, I guess it's really been too long since I've set up a Photo Week that I even had to go through my earlier post to look what my previous layouts had been! But as you see, the Photo Week has started as of today and I think this time it will even be longer than a week. See, I only edit two or three photos per day and I haven't counted them yet… so, we'll see how that goes. All the same, I'm quite excited to be back on track and wanted to apologize shortly for not having updated sooner but my last school year is really taking a toll on me! (Writing final papers is really frustrating.)
As for the photo above, I've taken it, as the name of this series already says, at Changi Airport in Singapore where they had some plants exhibitions this summer (there were also a cactus exhibition, a sunflower exhibition and a few more). Since my mother is such an orchid lover we decided to visit that one while we were waiting for our flight to Surabaya and I got quite occupied with taking pictures of them! There were just so many different species and I don't think I've captured them all (even after about 50 different takes from 30 different angles) because they were all around the famous fish pond. This lovely orange orchid above (I'm sorry but I forgot to get their names) was the first I've taken a photo of and I absolutely love its colours and tiny dots. What do you think? Some orchid lovers among you, as well?
PS: Did you see that I got myself a new logo? Everything tagged with ©boredmaiden is still my work, just to make that clear (the previous logo font belonged to a program that I no longer have, sadly)

After many years of proactively looking for the one? I finally decided to take a new path. I decided to work on myself and become the person I wanted to be whilst in a relationship rather than focusing on what I could get out of a relationship.
I enrolled in a course called Avatar which is about exploring consciousness and discovering any limiting beliefs which hold us back in our lives and I began working on being the best person, friend and partner I could be. It was important to me to have integrity with my dating so I utilized Positive Singles while I was working on myself.
My future partner, Brandon was doing the same thing (that is doing self development but through the Oneness University) at the same time. Using the Avatar tools I set a goal to meet my life partner who was on the same path as me.
A couple of days later I got an email from Brandon through the Positive Singles website. It was the most beautiful, genuine, amazing message I had received in my life. I was blown away. I never actually expected anything to come out of being on this website. He had seen my profile and it was love at first sight/read for him.
He was living in the US and I was based in Australia but that didn't worry him so he shared his heart with me without any concerns for if we would ever meet or not. Interestingly enough I was in Florida with Avatar at the time of receiving his email so after a couple of weeks of speaking online and on the phone we decided to meet before I flew back to Australia. Brandon flew from Park City, Utah to Orlando to meet me. The goal I had was to meet my life partner by the 31st of October 2008 and Brandon and I met each other in person at 11.45pm on the 31st of October.
The moment I saw him I knew he was the one. We were in love and talking about our future together before we'd even kissed. It was an old fashioned love story using modern day technology. Long-story-short Brandon asked me to stay in the US with him and I said yes. I'm still here and we're talking about getting married soon. When you know you just know.
Thank you Positive Singles for being part of our love story. I know Brandon and I were meant to be together but I'm not sure how we would have met without this website.

I'm looking for a way to create a whitelist of domains that can always view attachments regardless of the visitors actual usergroup permissions.
For example, if my site is on MainSite.com and a request comes from SecondarySite.com (they'd be viewing as a guest) then they can view attachments regardless of the permissions set up in the ACP for the guest usergroup.
You can get as fancy as you'd like (eg: creating a new Options group in the ACP) or basic (eg: hard-coding the whitelisted domains in the listener) but the one limitation is that it must be done using an XF listener and not by hacking up any existing XF code. I know I need to be looking at extending the Attachment model but I'm just not seeing the full picture at the moment of how exactly to go about it.

Napoli are holding firm in their negotiating for Gonzalo Higuain, a transfer target for Juventus and Arsenal.
Sky in Italy say Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis spoke to Juventus president Andrea Agnelli on Monday at a meeting of Serie A club officials. Higuain has a £78.5m (94m euros) release clause in his contract, a figure Juventus are willing to meet by offering cash as well as players.
If Napoli reject the players offered, it is understood they would allow the Italian champions to pay the release clause over a two-year period. Sky in Italy understand the players Napoli would consider are Simone Zaza, Roberto Pereyra, Stefano Sturaro and Daniel Rugani.
Napoli are also aware of interest in Higuain from Arsenal, but there has been no contact from the Gunners over a deal for the 28-year-old.
