Over the many years, diseases have claimed billions of lives. Statistically
speaking, some diseases of a particular name have not claimed many.
But, upon further examination of the topic, one may find that the
statistics are a little skewed by history's linguistics problem.
For instance, what is called a "cold" today was most often
referred to as something completely different many years ago: Coryza...
This is a listing of many of those diseases, but is by no means
all-inclusive. Here you will find 133 diseases and medical terms
once known to our forebears as something else.
Thanks to AFHS Member, Dann Craig, for making this resource available.
For those who wish, a pdf version
is also available to view and print.

IntroductionOk so I have put off doing this review for sometime. I tried Crunchbang for the first time about a year ago and I was a little underwhelmed.
Actually to tell the truth at the time I was in a position where I had a number of versions of Linux I wanted to try out but I had suffered a hard drive failure and all the distros I had downloaded had been destroyed. I was left with a DVD wallet with old versions of Ubuntu and Mint and two USB drives with live installations available. (One contained Mageia and the other Crunchbang).
At the time I tried Crunchbang first and was immediately alarmed at the incredibly black screen and I switched straight away to Mageia. I used Mageia for about 2 weeks before I downloaded other distributions and started building up a new library. This all reminds me that I never did a review of Mageia either.
I have moved on a lot since those dark days and it is about time I gave Crunchbang the review it deserves.
Download and InstallationTo download Crunchbang Linux visit http://crunchbang.org/.
There are two versions of Crunchbang available:
- 32 bit
- 64 bit
I installed Crunchbang onto a USB drive using UNetbootin and rebooted the laptop. I was given a choice to start Crunchbang Linux in live mode or to install the software.
I chose to run the live mode first just to make sure there were no glaring problems that would prevent me using Crunchbang on this laptop and the live mode worked perfectly well.
I then looked for the install option from within the live mode but could not find it. I pulled up the alternative menu and typed install and there were various options available but none of them started an installer.
I therefore decided to reboot the computer and install using the "Install" menu option.
The Crunchbang install process was actually pretty good. I like an installer that runs in a clear linear fashion without jumping around.
You basically go through the usual steps of choosing a language, keyboard layout and timezone and you are also asked for a username and password so that you don't have to run Crunchbang as root.
Then comes the partitioning bit. If you are installing Crunchbang so that it overwrites everything on the disk then there is a simple install routine that enables you to do this. You can also choose to create a separate home partition and even separate usr, var and boot partitions.
If you are installing alongside Windows then you would need to know what you are doing with regards to partitioning beforehand. There is no simple Mint or Ubuntu install alongside Windows option.
First Impressions
The Crunchbang Linux screen loads with it's familiar black screen. At the top is a taskbar with icons in the top right for connecting to the internet, clipboard manager, battery monitor, audio settings and a clock.
A really useful feature of Crunchbang is the information on the right side of the screen.
There are two categories of information displayed. The first category is system information and this shows your computer name, uptime, ram, swap usage, disk usage and cpu usage. What is remarkable is how well Crunchbang Linux is performing. Memory usage is just 100 megabytes and of course there is no swap usage. The CPU is sitting at 1%. It is all very slick.
The second category is a list of shortcut keys that can be used. First of all there is the run dialog which can be called up by press Alt and F2.
There are shortcut keys for bringing up the main menu (super key and space) and then there are shortcut keys for bringing up the most commonly used programs such as super and w for bringing up a web browser and super and t for bringing up a terminal window.
Connecting to the internet
Crunchbang automatically detected the wireless card within the laptop and my wireless connections were made instantly available.
All I had to do was enter the security key and I was connected.
Post Installation Tasks
When you run Crunchbang Linux for the first time a terminal window is displayed with post installation instructions.
This is a really useful script that helps you install a few extras. There are 13 installation steps but some of the steps rely on you saying yes to certain options.
The sort of options available in the post installation script include updating the software repositories, updating the software packages, setting up printer support, installing java, installing LibreOffice and installing development tools.
Change the desktop wallpaperThe main thing that put me off Crunchbang when I first tried it last year and indeed this time is the ultra black wallpaper.
Adjusting the wallpaper is simply a case of bringing up the main menu (right click on the desktop), choose settings and then change wallpaper.
ApplicationsCrunchbang Linux is a lightweight distribution and the applications installed by default match the lightweight ethos:
- Catfish - File search tool
- Archive - File compression
- Geany - Text editor
- Task Manager - Task Manager
- Terminator - Terminal
- Thunar - File Manager
- GIMP - Graphics editor
- Viewnior - Image viewer
- Screenshot - Screengrabber
- VLC - Media player
- Volume control
- XFBurn - CD/DVD burner
- Iceweasel - Web Browser (+ installers for Chrome, Firefox and Opera)
- gFTP - FTP Client
- Transmission - Torrents
- XChat - IRC
- Gigolo - Remote Connections
- VNC Viewer - VNC Client (+ installer for VNC Server)
- Installer for Dropbox
- Link to Google Docs
- Abiword
- Gnumeric
- LibreOffice (You can install this from the first run wizard)
- Synaptic - Package Manager
- GParted - Partition Editor
Installing Applications
If I am using a lightweight system then I like to use Guayadeque. Guayadeque has grown on me the more I use it. When I first started using it I really didn't like it all that much because it isn't immediately intuitive but when you get used to the way it works then it does really work.
Guayadeque isn't installed by default so I loaded Synaptic to install Guayadeque. Synaptic is easy to use. Just type the program name or a description of the program in the search box and a list of suitable applications is displayed.
Guayadeque is in the default repositories and therefore is displayed straight away. Simply mark the application and click apply to install.
Synaptic enables you to mark a number of applications and install them all at once and it finds all the dependencies that are required to make the applications run.
One thing that has to be mentioned is that installed applications do not instantly get added to the menu. You have to edit an XML file and then click the reconfigure Openbox menu item for the downloaded application to appear.
Flash and MP3To test Flash I load up a browser and go to Youtube. The default browser in Crunchbang is Iceweasel. Iceweasel is a forked version of Firefox. You can install other browsers within Crunchbang by going to the Network menu and clicking the installer of the browser you prefer to use.
Flash was installed correctly and I was able to watch videos straight away.
I tried to play a song within Guayadeque and instantly hit the Gstreamer error that is common across many distributions. (Missing plugin)
SummaryThere are some distributions that have a lot of glitz and glamour and they lack functionality (if these distributions were people my nan would say they were "all skirt and no knickers"). There are other distributions that are built for do-ers. (and of course there are some that provide Glitz and glamour as well as functionality).
Crunchbang is built for do-ers. The people that use Crunchbang are not bothered about gestures or flashy graphics.
Crunchbang is for people that have a purpose for their computer and the operating system is a tool to help them achieve that purpose. I would imagine that Crunchbang would be great for software development.
The performance of Crunchbang is absolutely brilliant. It is fast and sleek and uses very few of the system resources made available to it. If you have an older computer it is ideal.
I would suggest that Crunchbang is not for people new to Linux unless they are computer savvy to start with. If you have been using a Ubuntu type distribution for a few years and you have become competent enough to not need the pretty menus and graphics then Crunchbang will give you a lot of your computer's power back in your hands.
One thing I would change? the black wallpaper.
Thankyou for reading.

New Holster Review
Jeff Wright is a new holster maker out of Misouri. http://www.boomstickholsters.com
His pictures are better than mine so I start with his. Front & back view of both holsters. Since they are the same holster for different guns most of the review will be statements made about both holsters. SP101 & GP100. The holsters are Jeff's take on a basic Bruce Nelson Design or Askins Avenger.
First impressions.
General appearance: Eye appeal is excellent. These are as beautiful in person as in the pictures. Each arc of the holster flows very smoothly into the next one. The lower outside of the mouth of the holster will make the drawmuch quicker. Outside of the holster mouth covers a little more than 3/4 of the cylinder & all of the trigger. The barrel portion of the holster is boned quit tight to the gun barrel & under lug then opens up to a very adaquate site track. The site track opening is extreemly even on both sides. Something many new holster makers struggle with.
The inside of the holster curves up smoothly to completely cover the cylinder release button & then back down until even w/ the outside covering the trigger guard.
Gun to holster fit is excellent. There was no need to wrap the gun w/ wax paper or put the gun in a baggie. It will break in very nicely after sitting over night. Belt to holster fit is the same in the main loop behind the cylinder & the tail loop also.
I like the contour of the holster. This will make break in easier than if it were built streight.
Dye is even throughout the entire peice. Stitching is even & stays the same distance from the edges throughout the entire holster. All edges are rounded & died to give a distinct outline of the holster.
First impression in a nutshell. Excellent. I will wear the holsters for several days & return w/ a function report.
Carry 24-7 or guess right.

Correction appended
Kyle Hoff and Alex O'Dell set out in early January to raise $18,000 on Kickstarter for a simple invention called the Floyd Leg — a minimalistic set of table legs and clamps that can transform an old door or plank into a table.
The pair would have been happy raising just enough money to fulfill 100 orders. Instead, they raised $256,273 and multiplied sales tenfold.
A Floyd Leg set comprises four all-steel table legs at either 29 1/2 inches long for a full-size table or 16 inches for a coffee table. Each set sells for $189 and comes in black or white. A piece of repurposed wood can be fitted into the F-shaped bracket at the top of each leg and fastened with the built-in threaded bolt.
The design is the first product of the newly formed Detroit-based Floyd Design LLC for co-owners Hoff, 26, and O'Dell, 23.
The pair enlisted a handful of local companies to handle production. The steel is supplied by Jackson-based Arlo Steel Corp., fabricated at Clinton Township-based Macomb Sheet Metal Inc., assembled and powder-coated by Detroit-based Airtech Corp. and shipped by Warren-based FulEx LLC.
"It's much easier to communicate and get things done when your manufacturer is five minutes away," O'Dell said.
Although their production leapt to 1,500 sets from the original goal of 100, it's still low volume, something that small-scale manufacturers can easily accommodate.
It was important to Hoff and O'Dell to meet their promised delivery by April, so they put $15,000 on their credit cards to get production rolling by the beginning of February.
Although all the Kickstarter sales were residential, Hoff and O'Dell say that since the campaign ended, they have received interest from retailers and corporations looking to build out office spaces. They've also transitioned to an online store through their website, thefloydleg.com.
Hoff said it's too soon to know how much, if any, they'll have to increase production to meet future demand. For now, he said, they're focusing on catching up with Kickstarter orders and building an inventory of about 1,000 sets.
But if they find that demand increases to, say, 15,000 to 75,000 sets, Hoff and O'Dell will face a number of challenges associated with scaling a physical product to a growing company.
Dave Haviland, founder and principal of Ann Arbor-based business consulting firm Phimation Strategy Group, said it's important to have a plan ready for larger production before the actual demand sets in.
One major concern is entering a middle ground — between high-volume production in the hundreds of thousands and their current low-volume production, where options are fewer and manufacturers may not be flexible.
"My advice is that they don't have to grow fast. Take more time to think about selling and get more predictable when it comes to selling or retail," Haviland said. "If they're smart enough to see if the manufacturer is delivering on quality, they'll be fine."
Finding the right fabricator for the prototype was a crucial learning experience, Hoff said. He shopped around Illinois and Ohio and settled with COW Industries Inc. in Columbus, Ohio, to manufacture the first set of four legs for $550 in 2012.
"Going to all the different fabricators helped me envision the project on a larger scale and learn the economy of materials, since I wanted to keep the cost low," Hoff said. "By the time I had the first prototype fabricated, my thought was that it could be a potential product."
A leg up from Kickstarter
O'Dell said he and Hoff started the company with about $5,000 in pooled money. But in the summer of 2013, they made plans to prove their concept through Kickstarter.
"Ten years ago, we would have had to take an expensive risk," O'Dell said. "But with Kickstarter, it gave us a chance to test the market before becoming heavily invested. It also makes us available to a larger market."
If all goes well, Hoff said, the company could generate $700,000 in revenue in 2014.
But getting the word out doesn't happen by accident.
By creating a multimedia strategy in advance, Hoff and O'Dell were able to engage more people.
Part of that campaign was a video and an online catalog illustrating various uses of the Floyd Leg — an approach that keeps it from being seen as a gimmick, Hoff said.
"Being able to reach people and tell the story effectively was wildly important," he said. "I think without that multimedia element, these projects can drown in the world of crowdfunding."
Although the vast majority of pre-order sales were in the U.S., Hoff said, 20 percent of sales were international, with strong interest from Europe and Japan.
Nomadic inspiration
Hoff was living in Chicago in 2012 when he started designing the Floyd Leg. He recently had graduated from the University of Michigan with a master's degree in architecture and took a job in the Windy City with Dearborn-based Ghafari Associates LLC.
"The Floyd Leg was born out of my own interest of creating something versatile for a more nomadic lifestyle, since I'd spent the last few years living in five different places," Hoff said. "I wasn't convinced that people would want it until I showed it to a few of my friends."
Hoff said he named the device in honor of his father, grandfather and great grandfather, all of whom were steelworkers named Floyd in Youngstown, Ohio.
Last summer, Hoff moved to Detroit to help launch a business incubator in Corktown called Practice Space. That's where he and O'Dell met.
O'Dell graduated from UM in 2012 with a bachelor's degree in technology policy.
"I knew Alex's abilities from working together in Practice Space, and at some point I showed him the legs and we started talking about a Kickstarter," Hoff said. "But it takes a lot to create a Kickstarter, so it became a great partnership because his ability to create multimedia helped us build a product."
Whether Hoff and O'Dell can maintain their initial success depends on why they did well to begin with and whether those same tactics will continue to work, Haviland said.
"It's a matter of knowing if they succeeded because they managed Kickstarter really well or if they really knew their niche market," he said.

Editor's note: An earlier version of this story had an incorrect steel supplier. This version of the story is correct.

A man-like creature who usually comes from Dorset that loves Beer and Sex. Bignelly is loosely related to a Bonobo or Chimpanzee in terms of intelligence and sex-drive and cannot stop grunting and shouting "oh oh oh." He has 600 Bignells in China through his continuing semen donation services. Little known is the fact that he is the reason they installed the "One-China Policy." He also commonly parrots the phrases: "Shit the Bed", "Built like a Brick Shit House", "You're a Little Shit Faggot" (In a kind way), and "Hey Baby." His Beer belly is quite large and he plays with it often in public. He enjoys arts, especially Kamasutra with Donkeys and Goats and maintains a fervent Fish-Fetish. He hates the Scots with a passion but likes Mel Gibson for his political and religious views. He enjoys trelations with Chinese women due to his small sized penis and curiously large ballsack. His beard, Bald Spot and insane bursts of rage are characteristic features that may point to a possible Bignelly.
He is far rarer to find than either Bigfoot or a Yeti but is well acquainted with both as they are his cousins.
He is far rarer to find than either Bigfoot or a Yeti but is well acquainted with both as they are his cousins.
I found myself in the woods last week and suddely a wild Bignelly appeared. I heard him grunting and screaming "oh oh oh" as it began to charge. I remembered I had a can of beer in my bag. I threw in to the brush and ran away. I just survived a 'hard' Bignelly charging at me. I sighed for a moment and thanked beer lovers everywhere for saving my life.

text: Overview By Mayo Clinic Staff Print Periapical tooth abscessPeriapical tooth abscessBacteria can enter the innermost part of the tooth through either a deep cavity or a chip or crack in your tooth. The resulting infection and inflammation can cause an abscess at the tip of the root. A tooth abscess is a pocket of pus that's caused by a bacterial infection. The abscess can occur at different regions of the tooth for different reasons. A periapical (per-e-AP-ih-kul) abscess occurs at the tip of the root, whereas a periodontal (per-e-o-DON-tul) abscess occurs in the gums next to a tooth root. The information here refers specifically to periapical abscesses. A periapical tooth abscess usually occurs as a result of an untreated dental cavity, an injury or prior dental work. Dentists will treat a tooth abscess by draining it and getting rid of the infection. They may be able to save your tooth with a root canal treatment, but in some cases the tooth may need to be pulled. Leaving a tooth abscess untreated can lead to serious, even life-threatening, complications.

There are a number of economic events that will capture my attention this week. Before we get to today's focus, retail sales, let me mention the Federal Reserve speakers this week -- and in particular, Esther George, the president of the Kansas City Fed. This year, she has a vote on the Fed's policymaking group, the Federal Open Market Committee.
She isn't too keen on lots of quantitative easing, at least according to past speeches she's made, and I want to see whether she dials her stance up or down in this week's speech. She dissented at the last meeting, as she "was concerned that the continued high level of monetary accommodation increased the risks of future economic and financial imbalances and, over time, could cause an increase in long-term inflation expectations," according to the FOMC's statement following its meeting last month. (By the way, George's predecessor at the Kansas City Fed, Thomas Hoenig, was notable for his frequent dissents.)
Even if she dissents from further Fed easy-money policies, she might not sway the whole panel. Still, her views might be instructive nonetheless, especially in juxtaposition with the other Fed speakers this week. But remember that, of this week's speakers, besides George, only St. Louis Fed President James Bullard has a vote.
Now, on to retail sales. The report covers January, which is the first month after the payroll tax rate reverted back up to its original level -- to 6.2% from the prior 4.2%, up to a maximum income level of $113,700. Those with incomes above $200,000 for single filers, or $250,000 for joint filers, face an additional 0.9% levy to fund Medicare. There are other tax changes and increases, too, especially for higher-income Americans and some investors.
Suffice it to say that many people will be paying more in taxes this year, and not just those who are most affected by payroll taxes. Plus, gas prices have risen of late, particularly in California. So it's reasonable to assume that these factors will constrain retail numbers, and the International Council of Shopping Centers said some retailers did report softer sales as a result.
On the other hand, many companies paid special dividends in December, and bonuses to some employees, in order to front-run tax increases this year. There is some anecdotal evidence that sales were stronger earlier in January than they were later in the month, reflecting the 34.3% surge in dividend income in December from the month before, per the Personal Income and Outlays report. Also, 10 states increased their minimum-wage rates in 2013.
On balance, this combination of somewhat-offsetting forces seems to have bolstered sales -- so far, at least. In January, for more than 20 companies tracked by Retail Metrics, same-store sales surged 4.5% vs. January 2012. That's the biggest year-to-year gain since September 2011. Macy's (M), Gap (GPS) and Target (TGT) were among the U.S. retailers to post bigger monthly same-store sales gains, and when you exclude drug stores (which are included in Wednesday's Retail Sales report, mind you), the sales gain was 5.1% from 12 months ago.
In all, the dividend and bonus payments drove December aggregate personal incomes 2.6% higher than November levels. So, in this week's January retail-sales report, we may see these effects offer more support to the numbers than in the coming months.
After all, in the consumer-confidence report from the Conference Board, the "expectations" component plummeted over the past several months -- and this tends to be more predictive of consumer spending than the headline. In October, the reading for expectations was 84.0. The metric then fell to 68.1 in December before plunging again, to 59.5, in January.
But the caveat to consumer-confidence measures is that people don't always behave consistently with how they feel. For example, in spite of the drop in consumers' expectations in the consumer-confidence survey, the metrics on buying plans, of cars, houses and appliances have been mixed. In January, 10.1% of those surveyed said they planned to buy a car in coming months, down from 12.2% in December; but those planning to buy an appliance increased to 47.7% from 46.1%.
In coming months, we'll be able to see how confidence issues play out in the face of higher taxes, along with rising gas prices. In the meantime, for this week's report, the consensus expectations call for January retail sales to rise by 0.3%. Since it's a monthly figure, this type of growth wouldn't be half bad -- at least before we take price changes into account.
As for those rising gas prices, remember that the retail-sales report is not adjusted for inflation. Be sure to strip out gasoline, given price increases in the past couple months. (In fact, I also strip out autos and building materials, putting the focus purely on so-called "core" retail sales -- that is, what people buy during more mundane shopping trips.) In this way, you can get a better sense of consumers' behavior, and not just their attitudes or predictions on how they might react to lower take-home pay.

Bill Clinton to Join McAuliffe on Campaign Tour
Richmond, VA - Terry McAuliffe's campaign says former President Bill Clinton will join the Democratic gubernatorial candidate on a three-day campaign tour around the state.
McAuliffe's campaign said Sunday that locations and details of the events will be announced later.
McAuliffe was a top fundraiser for both Clinton and his wife, former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton. McAuliffe later served as chairman of the Democratic National Committee.
Hillary Rodham Clinton endorsed McAuliffe on Saturday at an event in Falls Church.

Apple Spiral Not Done Yet
The wheels continue to come off of Apple (AAPL). There are many theories surrounding the huge selloff, which has shares off more than 25% now in just eight weeks. So is it disappointing iPhone 5 sales over the first weekend? Is it a disappointing iPad Mini? Is it earnings that aren't up to snuff? Is it the potential loss of the advantageous capital gains tax rate? Or could it be that Apple had simply been over-owned, and now selling begets selling? Truth be told, it is probably a mix of all of these, with each seller having their own particular reason. But I believe weekly options and large numbers of fear are also coming into play here.
Apple trades well into the triple-digits and, for now, it is still closer to four digits than it is to a single-digit price tag -- although that could change by the day's end. As a result, even small percentage moves create big dollar changes in the stock price. Some individuals see a $10 move and freak out. Would the reaction on Twitter or in the media be the same if the stock dropped from $52.50 to $51.50, instead of the actual drop from $525 to $515? Personally, I don't think so. The big numbers have a greater psychological impact, since most people pay attention to the price rather than the market capitalization, and they look at the price over the percentage move. The smaller prices tend to attract those paying attention to the percentage move in a stock, but that isn't what's happening in Apple....429 more words left in this article.

Real Time Search & Implications for Communicators
While the concept of real time search results is fairly new to many of us, for Rob Garner, vice president of strategy for digital marketing agency iCrossing, it's nothing new. He's been researching, writing and speaking about the evolution of real time search results since late 2009, and I included some of his observations in a post about real time PR last year.
We know the ability of Google, Bing and other search engines to find and display content just seconds after it was posted to Twitter has real ramifications for anyone using content to reach and engage their online audiences. To get the latest update on real time search and implications for marketing and PR pros, I interviewed Rob yesterday on the subject, and here's what he had to say:
Many thanks to Rob for talking with us. Find more of his thinking (along with others from iCrossing) on The Content Lab.

On Six FeetRiddles are little poems or phrases that pose a question that needs answering. Riddles frequently rhyme, but this is not a requirement.
The following riddle was originally printed in 1867 in "London Society".
On six feet, I am a noxious drink,
Of whose effects you shudder to think.
Change only my second foot, and then
You convert me into a horrible den
Where the culprit, who gave the noxious drink,
Awaits the fate of which you shudder to think.
HintTry reading it with "letters" instead of "feet".
"On six feet" means a six letter word. The first two lines refer to poison. The next two lines refer to prison. The last two refers to where "the culprit" who gave you the poison would go -- prison.
What Next?

LSU coach Les Miles described new offensive coordinator Cam Cameron as a "very, very key hire" when Miles formally introduced Cameron on Friday.
He replaces Greg Studrawa, who will now coach the offensive line. Meanwhile, Steve Kragthorpe, who coached the quarterbacks the past two seasons, will move into an administrative role.
Cameron was last on the Baltimore Ravens staff before coach John Harbaugh released him late in the year. For that, Cameron says he holds no bad feelings.
"The last five years with John Harbaugh I wouldn't trade for anything in the world," Cameron said. "We're still great friends."
Now, Cameron begins a new chapter under Miles. The two coached together on the Michigan staff from 1987-1993. Cameron brings a wealth of experience that should immediately elevate an LSU offense that has had its share of struggles the past two seasons.
Last season, the Tigers were ranked 85th in the nation in total offense, squeezing out 374.23 yards per game. Quarterback Zach Mettenberger's 2,609 total passing yards was 64th nationally.
"I wanted to bring in somebody that would make use better; not just a guy," Miles said. "He's not a short-term thinker. He gives vision…This is a move where we are adding and not subtracting."
Cameron said he won't take over complete play-calling duties. He has pored through LSU film, though, and says, "I've seen every LSU football game for the last eight years."

Support Our Collections and Research
We have a very active lab, with both research and teaching components but since the funding for the University and our Museum is now fairly limited, most of the money to support our research and education comes from contract investigations conducted for government and private organizations, research grants, and donations by generous individuals and corporations. The donations are particularly appreciated because they indicate the level of interest of the public and our community in our work.
The Environmental Archaeology Program is looking for funds to support:
- Environmental archaeology research at archaeological sites throughout the Americas.
- Physical growth of our collections from a single field focus (zooarchaeology) to the more holistic three-field focus incorporating zooarchaeology, archaeobotany, and archaeopedology.
- Creation of a digital archive and research database of ancient environments and human-induced environmental change.
- Educational and public outreach via on-site and visiting collaboration and the development of digital curriculum aids.
Generous funding from the FAO Schwarz Family Foundation has created the Environmental Archaeology Endowment for Education and Research, an endowment that continues to grow with donations from other generous individuals. The funds are used to support our students and our efforts to expand access to our collections, primarily through the development of digital image archives. In times of economic downturn, our endowment ensures continuity for our program and students. To make a specific donation to the EAP Endowment, please access the University of Florida Foundation's secure site. Click on Environmental Archaeology Endowment (Account # 011203), or contact us directly. Your donations are tax deductible.
Memberships in the Florida Museum of Natural History support public programming and research through grants from the Museum Associates Board. Please see the Museum membership page to join.
Volunteers are a wonderful resource and if you are interested in donating your time, please see our Volunteers page.
We are also happy to receive basic office supplies, donated technology, or other equipment and materials that are fundamental to the operation of a busy laboratory. Please contact Curator Dr. Kitty Emery if you have any donations you would like to see used in the pursuit of environmental archaeology research.
Finally, we are happy to receive modern comparative specimens and legally acquired archaeological collections but we are bound by many regulations in accepting collections. Please read our acquisitions policy here and contact Curator Dr. Kitty Emery with any specific questions.

Advertising this on several forums and the Innova facebook page too, I've had this big collection of rare and hard to find discs in storage, as I was an Innova dealer for years, finally getting out of it in 2010. Most of mine are first run editions, Stars mostly but some Champion plastics as well. A few rare ones made for specific tournys, and a few rare ones such as a totally black Star Cro. I've got some not available to the general public (dealer only) and some that were extemely limited production.
I have 21 discs total. They are all unused, just stored in a box in my garage since I ended my sales "career".
This is a great opportunity for all you Innova collectors! I realize I am new to the forum and have no references, but feel free to check my Ebay account for feedback, "coolcobramatt" +355 with 100% positive.
Email me if interested or have questions. firstname.lastname@example.com or call me directly at 270-564-4412.

Hello all, I'm D.T. from NW Missouri.
I've taken a long leave of absence from sitting and studying, but I believe it's high time that I at least make an effort to get back on the path I veered from.
About five years ago, I met an awesome gal, who I'm still with btw, but with that relationship came a disinterest in Buddhism. Some of it had to do with feeling odd about maintaining a practice while in a serious relationship (even though she's cool with it and has an interest in it herself), and I'm not sure what else happened... haven't really analyzed the situation. Long story short, she moved in, my books went on the shelf, and my cushion served as extra cushion for an outdated office chair.
We're expecting a child soon, which is part of the reason I want to get back to it. It seems that I've lost a fair amount of ability were awareness of speech, thought, and action is concerned. I don't want to be a bad influence on my child, I don't want to unconsciously pass on bad habits/attitudes/etc. Also, I've become quite addicted to alcohol, just as I was before I'd encountered Buddhism. I fully credit meditation, and a host of Buddhist authors/text, with giving me the ability to handle cravings and attachment. So, here's to lightning striking twice!
A little disclosure:
I've never considered myself a Buddhist. I've never taken vows or officially taken refuge, I've attended the Sangha 4-5 times at best. I don't believe there's such a thing as reincarnation, or enlightenment. I find rituals and chanting to be... well, not for me. I never delved too deeply into the Suttas.
For me, it's been more about having the clearest possible perception of reality, to have the ability to be more than a puppet controlled by a wild mind which is not even aware of the things it's being conditioned by, and to have a 'system' of morals and ethics which doesn't require dogmatic beliefs. Yeah... that sounds about right.
Anyhow, nice to meet you all, and I'm looking forward to future discussions.

The false bravado got him nowhere -- fast.
"I would put on this facade and show a 'tough guy' ego," Alexis Robinson said. "I would show I was good instead of going to race and prove I was good."
The Eureka High product isn't ashamed to admit he was cocky. Blessed with all the physical tools -- a 6-foot-3 muscular frame with speed to spare -- Robinson paraded around as a winner.
Only, he wasn't.
Not until he got rid of the arrogant facade, that is.
"During the beginning of the season, (Eureka track and field coach Catrina Bindel) pulled me aside and we had a deep conversation before we went to the Stanford Invite," Robinson said. "I took it to heart and trained hard. When we started to hit track meets, I keyed in on what she said.
"I would sit by myself and visual my race. When I get into the blocks, everything is clear."
This is also crystal clear: Robinson is the lone prep athlete on the United States' roster for the 2013 Pan American Junior Athletics Championship scheduled in late August.
"I was the only high schooler that made that team," Robinson said. "I feel really humbled. It was really fun to interact with all those athletes. (Freshman) Marcus Chambers, from the University of Oregon, I clicked with him. And, when I was trying all that stuff (on), it was crazy."
Lighting up the local and national circuit in the 400 meter dash, Robinson's fourth-place finish at the USA Junior Track and Field Championships in Des Moines earned him a spot on the U.S. 4x400 meter relay team for the Pan Am Championships.
On his way to qualifying for Team USA, Robinson shattered 56-year-old Humboldt County records, finished second in the 400 at the North Coast Section Redwood Empire and CIF State meets. The performances earned him the No. 2 ranking in California and the No. 6 bill in the nation.
"He's literally the fastest kid to come out of Humboldt County in the 200 and 400," Bindel said. "He broke records in Humboldt county from 1957. Those (times) were around 48 seconds. He hit 46 seconds. He's obviously the fastest kid I've ever coached."
With a state meet berth as the target this season from the get-go, Bindel set out to prepare Robinson for the very difficult journey. There would be changes to not only his running style, but his mentality. Along with that would be physical changes.
Athletics is riddled with those who have come and gone, caved in to the pressure, giving up a dream.
Not Robinson.
What Bindel asked, Robinson did.
"Everything I could think of to make him faster, he was receptive and made those changes," Bindel said. "Some athletes, you tell them and tell them and the athlete doesn't make them. But, he did. He made a lot of changes that way that helped him.
"His mentality is 'Let's work and let's do it.' Everything I want him to do, he does. He's a coach's dream."
The old Robinson would have eaten up the headlines, basked in the attention and praise that comes with his impressive performances.
Not anymore.
While Robinson is grateful for the recognition and support he's received, he's not running to garner them.
"It's cool to do press conferences and see all the news coverage," Robinson said. "All this stuff, all this recognition is nice. But, we're not really worried about being recognizable. We want medals and want to win."
While he leaves for the junior team at Pan Am Championships in Columbia on Aug. 19, Robinson already has eyes set on the future -- his senior year at Eureka.
"I want to keep improving so when I come into college, I'm racing the best times in the nation and get even better," he said.
The potential college suitors list grows by the day. It's safe to say Robinson won't have a lack of options.
"Yeah, it got really heavy at state time," he said regarding the rise in interest.
Robinson said he spoke with Texas A&M recently and the calls were "going to keep coming."
Pigskin is also in Robinson's Logger future.
"I'm going to play football," he said. "Getting Jason White as new coach is a nice addition to the program. And participating in football is definitely an option for college. A lot of track coaches are communicating with football coaches and, in college, I'll most likely be doing both."
Robinson is proof athletics is as much mental as it is physical. He may have had all the physical tools when he initially stepped out on the track, but it was when he got his mind right when things began to click.
And that is what impresses Bindel the most.
"The mental improvements," she said when pinpointing what led to Robinson's turnaround. "He had confidence. He wasn't cocky. He didn't go out there with false confidence. He went out there with a plan and he went out there and got it done.
"That was impressive. That was the main and huge change -- the mind."

Robert wrote:Cittasanto: Generally outside meditation, I am tranquil. If I find that my mind is overcome by any sort of hindrance and I do become overtly analytical, I bring my attention to the breath, which soothes and relaxes me so I am more aware of the present moment.
The most common hindrance I find my mind wanders off to is sensual desire, which I try to overcome by telling myself that it is not the object that is pleasant but my perception of it. Only on rare occasions do I worry or get angry with anything. All in all I try to incorporate the aspects of practice in daily life.
Robert wrote:Thanks for your suggestions and I will definitely look into the suttas you suggest! Although I am aware of insight practices, and do try to bring mindfulness into daily life, I want to first be able to concentrate deeply on a consistent basis before beginning a deeper insight practice.
On another note regarding the meditation experience, is sound. As tranquility deepens there is a "ringing" sound in my ears. First it appears in the right ear but then it is more encompassing. The sound seems to "vibrate" in tune with the rest of the experience, i.e. the breath, body and tranquility. It does not distort the attention, though I am aware of it. Any thoughts on this?
wikipedeia wrote:Tinnitus can be perceived in one or both ears or in the head.
polarbuddha101 wrote:Anyone ever get a high pitched ringing in their ears for maybe 5 to 30 seconds duration just every once in a while, as in less than once a month and usually just in one ear? I'm not sure if I ever had it in both. I always thought I was just picking up a high pitched sound wave from some sort of technology every once in a while but now it seems like, from what I've read, that I just have very very occasional tinnitus. Is the nada sound this same sort of sound, a steady high pitched technology sounding note that is perfectly constant until it leaves? Also, is nada just self induced tinnitus? People with tinnitus apparently can hear all kinds of different sounds from ringing, to running water, etc. etc. (I've only ever heard the sound I describe at the beginning of this post) is nada the same, can it be different sounds or is it just one kind of sound?
well, the guy above me kinda negates a couple of things I wrote but I'll leave them up, maybe I'll get some interesting answers
Robert wrote:Marc: Can you perhaps indicate where one could find out more about this type of concentration, which is found in vedic yogic meditation?

Product Description:
Reviewed by 1 customer
This review is from Lay Flat Report Cover 47780:
I use this report cover all the time. I love it. I work in Healthcare and have alot of employees that I need to put things together for. This is perfect-you can put a nice cover sheet in the front and then add as many sheets as you would like. I always use sheet protectors in mine, but you don't have to. Folks are usually impressed with how nice they look. They are very durable as well and can take some abuse. I only wish it were easier to add a sheet of paper. It is easy to just add it to the end-no problem..but the way that I have them is in a particular order and if I need to add one in the middle-you have to pretty much take the whole thing out and put it back in. Other than that though...I recommend them highly. Like I said-I use these alot!! Enjoy!

FWH told me of her call and her request and I didn't hesitate with my response.
I said he should go. I din't make him ask or beg, just that he should go.
I lost a friend to cancer last year and I just felt he should go.
I booked his flights and packed his bag and now he's flying to see her while I sit here all alone, wondering if it was the right thing to do.
In my mind you did the most generous, selfless thing you could have done. I am in awe of you.
Honestly, it feels like you've validated their entire affair in that one action. I fear this will haunt you. I hope I'm wrong.
That is one of the most compassionate acts I have ever heard. You must be a remarkable Woman. I hope your FWH realizes just how lucky he is to have you.
Maybe, with confession, apology, restoration for my loss, and sincere jail house conversion.
No matter what happens, your generosity and kindness are admirable.
I would be proud to call you my friend - and I would hope to be as benevolent and humane as you are.

If I can ask, what kind of boundaries do you feel he will have around her? Is he planning to go to honor their pre-A friendship, or is he going to honor their romantic history?
Will he be checking in with you while he's gone? Giving you transparency? How long will he be away? Where will he be staying, and what will he be doing with her? Does hospice mean that she cannot leave there, or is she going out to do "one last time" type of things? How involved will he be with her while he is there? Or is he going there for when she passes to be by her?
Before he left, did he seem concerned about how painful this might be to you? Did he worry that going there might be disrespecting you and your M and did he talk with you about it?
What are YOUR boundaries around this? How are YOU feeling tonight?
I think you have a very big heart. I also think your H choosing to go is very hurtful. Especially in light of him unilaterally choosing to email her three months ago and break NC, I am very concerned that he's not making you and your M together a priority right now. I would worry that there might be other instances of broken NC and that, in spite of the OW's health, the A is going on again. But that's from hearing about these two instances. I hope I am incorrect.
Let her write a letter if she wants to get stuff off her chest. What she better be asking for is forgiveness.
You gave your husband another wonderful gift if he chooses to f--k this up that's on him and you will know what road to take.
You're not his mommy or his P.O. so this will show you where his mind is, in your marriage wanting it to work or going through the motions.
Plus if you didn't do this I believe it would have bred resentment in him, and might have stewed and not because he viewed as missing a goodbye, but because you were controlling him (in his mind) .
You are a truly compassionate person and I do hope he sees that.
I can't fucking believe your FWH actually chose to go see her. Why didn't you go with?
"Oh, why do my actions have consequences?" ~ Homer Simpson
"She knew my one weakness: That I'm weak." ~ Homer Simpson
Plus if you didn't do this I believe it would have bred resentment in him,
I don't think either your WS or the OW "deserved" you compassion and I feel sad that he decided to go. But you, my friend, can look at yourself in the mirror and know you are a good, decent human being.

Flavonoids are compounds found in plants, often as pigments, that are highly anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory. Nobiletin, which is found in citrus fruits, occurs in its highest concentration in tangerines. The Canadian scientists also found that nobiletin protected the lab mice from atherosclerosis, arterial plaque build-up that can lead to heart attack or stroke.
The research leader, Murray Huff, a vascular biologist at the university, had previously found a flavonoid in grapefruits, naringenin, that offered lab mice protection against obesity. Huff said, however, that nobiletin offers 10 times the level of protection against obesity that naringenin does.
Results of the Canadian study, published in the medical journal Diabetes, open the door for studies on nobiletin's effects on human test subjects.

Chocolate sponge cake
Chocolate sponge cake
This chocolatey spin on the classic sponge cake makes a deliciously special afternoon tea. Sandwich together with chocolate ganache, or keep things light and easy by filling with jam and fresh cream.
serves: 12
- 4 eggs, at room temperature
- 2/3 cup caster sugar
- 1/3 cup plain flour
- 1/3 cup self-raising flour
- 1/3 cup corn flour
- 4 tbsp cocoa powder
- 150mL pouring cream, whipped
- 1/3 cup raspberry jam
- Icing sugar, to dust
- Preheat oven to 180°C. Butter one deep 22cm round pan or two deep 20cm cake pans and line with baking paper.
- Use an electric stand mixer to beat the eggs on high speed until thick and creamy. This will take 7-8 minutes. With the mixer still going, add caster sugar one tablespoon at a time, beating until dissolved after each addition. When all sugar is dissolved, turn off mixer.
- Sift flours and cocoa powder three times to aerate and combine. Sift onto egg mixture. Use a spatula to gently fold flours into eggs. This is the critical bit, use a 'light' hand and don't over-mix.
- Pour into prepared pan and spread mixture evenly. If using one cake pan, cook for 20-25 minutes and if using two pans, cook for about 15-20 minutes. The sponge is cooked when it has slightly come away from the sides and the top springs back when lightly touched.
- Turn out onto wire racks to cool.
- If you have made one cake, slice it in half. Spread one sponge with jam and then cream, top with remaining sponge and dust with icing sugar.
- One of my favourite combinations—chocolate and raspberry. Great for an afternoon tea treat
- You can be a bit sneaky, by using one half of the sponge to make this cake and use the remaining half in the chocolate and raspberry trifle. Two delicious desserts for half the work!
- Make this cake gluten-free using 2/3 cup of gluten-free plain flour instead of the plain and self-raising flours.
