The Great Alfie has won two of his last three starts including a soft ground victory over today's trip at Exeter when last seen at the track. But that was over two year's ago now and his fitness has to be taken on trust. Harouet scored over C&D last November and will have come on for his recent comeback run over fences at Fakenham, but BEN'S FOLLY will also have improved for last month's reappearance at this track. He showed good progress last year with four wins over timber and can can back on the winning trail here. The remainder are hard to fancy with possibly Gilwen Glory coming out best of them.

Johor Darul Ta'zim signed former Argentina U-17 player
December 27, 2016 | Malaysia, Southeast Asia | | Photo :|
Malaysian club Johor Darul Ta'zim has signed former Independiente B and Argentina U-17 player Brian Ferreira, as well as former Al-Faisaly Harmah player Gonzalo Cabrera, according to reports.
The two Argentine players are expected to replace Pereyra Diaz, who left the club at the end of the previous season, and Hariss Harun, who is going out on loan.
Brian Ferreira is a product of the famed Velez Sarsfield youth system. He played at the club for five seasons before joining Independiente B in early 2016.
He had also represented Argentina at youth level, participating at the 2011 U-17 World Cup for the Albicelestes.

I have seen where some people have prepped for their CT scans? When I had some CT scans prior to surgery, the only thing I was told was not to eat for 4 hours before the scan. Is there anything else that I am missing? Everyone have a blessed Easter.
Apr 04, 2010 - 10:26 am
no smethport I have never done anything except the four hour fast....
a joyous Easter to all
Apr 04, 2010 - 12:27 pm
I only have to do a 2 hour fast, then drink a mixture made with crystal lite.
Apr 04, 2010 - 6:02 pm
My instructions from Memorial Sloan Kettering is a 2 fast prior to arrival. Then spend an hour downing either the crystal lite mix (gastrografin) or a barium shake. Most people tolerate the crystal lite better; I do better with the barium.
Expect diarrhea post scan.
Apr 04, 2010 - 8:54 pm
prior to a scan I too fast, but the night before and then finishing 2 hours prior to my appt. I drink the contract. I like mine with lemonade flavor. I usually drink a cup during the scan also. It's so easy compared to the prep. for colonoscopy.....! You will do great!
Apr 04, 2010 - 9:44 pm
If your scan is "with contrast" there is some rather nasty stuff they might make you ingest prior to the scan. I have a CT scan tomorrow and begin the prep tonight with a lovely (disgusting) Barium Sulfate Suspension. Smells like pina colada, tastes like, well NOT like pina colodas. I drink another bottle a couple of hours before the scan.
Apr 04, 2010 - 10:11 pm
I really hope your scan is uneventful, clear, and whatever other adjectives I can think of!
Apr 05, 2010 - 5:20 pm
Good luck tomorrow Rick hope all goes well for you too!!
I jus thave to drink the "cocktail" right before the scan then get the whatever it is pumped in through IV. I always feel like I just wet my pants when they start pushing that stuff in! very warm sensation. Still much better then bowel prep though.
Apr 04, 2010 - 10:32 pm
When I get my CT scan of chest, abdomen and pelvis, I have to fast for four hours first and then arrive one hour ahead of the actual scan so that I can drink a bottle of contrast fluid first. It really, really helps if you drink the stuff through a straw, but they never give you one. So now I take my own straw. My med center has a choice of flavors. I always go for banana if they have it-- it's less nasty than some of the other flavors. Once all they had was vanilla -- ugh, I did not think I was going to make it through that one.
Apr 04, 2010 - 11:32 pm
Make sure that they keep it cold. Then the barium isn't bad, even in the vanilla.
Apr 05, 2010 - 3:28 pm
Thanks everyone for your advice. You all are so awesome.
Apr 05, 2010 - 4:06 pm
my scan is tomorrow too Rick and I am sooooooo scared.
if you drink it with the koolade stuff and they are also scanning the chest, I have to eat a really thick pudding stuff right before getting on the table
Apr 05, 2010 - 5:15 pm
Well this must just be scan week! I have one scheduled for weds morning. It will be the one year mark for me as NED, a goal I have yet to attain since or DX almost 5 yrs ago. I am trying to keep my mind occupied with other things, ha ha ha yeah not a chance!
Apr 05, 2010 - 7:00 pm
ok it's a deal.....think of me tomorrow at 1030 I start drinking....scan at 12 noon...how bout you Greybeard....what time on Wed.....want to be thinking about you
Apr 06, 2010 - 10:06 am
thx,I am scheduled for 9am so I should be getting scanned at 10am. IA imagine you
Apr 06, 2010 - 5:05 pm
greybeard your energy came through....NED....I have totally got your back tomorrow my friend...I do believe in energy....
I'll do 9 till whenever
hugs mags
Apr 05, 2010 - 5:24 pm
It was probably after my third scan before I remember the technician telling me to make sure I drank ALOT of water, juice etc..after the scan is done. The idea is to get rid of that "stuff" as soon as you can. As with so much of things we put into our bodies to fight this it isnt good for the rest of you. so remember FLUSH, FLUSH, FLUSH!
Apr 05, 2010 - 7:10 pm
the ct scans are a snap...just the worry that makes them tough. I've had 21 ct's so far (since 9/11/06) I developed an allergy to the iodine contrast on scan 13. Eyes reddened and swelled. They whipped me into the ER in a hurry, but a benadryl took care of things. I now have to premedicate before each scan...ugh...13 hours, 6 hours and 1 hour ahead I take prednisone and two benadryl an hour before. I always have my barium at home in the refrigerator so I can start drinking it on the way to the hospital (saves waiting an hour there) I feel like a pro at this :) And greybeard is right...drink drink drink afterwards...flush all the ick out. My point...pay attention to your body after your scan...any funny feeling could hint at reaching your tolerance for the dye.
Apr 05, 2010 - 7:14 pm
All I have to do is not eat 3 hours before the scan and drink 32 oz of water one hour before the scan. Then at the center, they give me a glass of water (at least it tastes like water) right before the scan. They do a scan, then give me the contrast through an IV and do another scan. Yes it makes you real warm and feel like you have peed your pants but they always warn me about that.
Good luck every one with their scans, mine will be the last of this month.

in my local cancer center i have to drink a nasty barium that gives me terrible stomach pain and diarrhea. when i go to mayo clinic i fet a clear tasteless drink that doesn't affect me at all. i have one coming up in may, and i am excited that my local hospital and mayo clinic both now have the siemens flash ct scanner which is the new big thing and can scan your entire body in 4 seconds, you dont even need to hold your breath, and the best part is you get way less radiation with it than from a standard scan which i am very happy about as i was getting very concerned about that amount of radiation i have gotten. keep on the lookout for these great new scanners. it is supposed to be so good that i may even be able to avoid a pet according to my DR.
Apr 06, 2010 - 1:22 am
I go to UCSF and every three months I have a CT with contrast. The contrast is given IV. I have to premedicate myself the night before with pills and also in the morning before the scan. I don't have to fast. this is just for a CT, not a PET/CT.
Apr 06, 2010 - 3:43 pm
Before my recent MRI, I had to prep by enema 1 hour before.... When I arrived the staff gave me 2 enemas with some sort of gel. I have never had a prep before a CT.

Hi chowhounds,
I am interested in finding materials to make Raclette. I haven't had this in years and have a craving. Also, with the weather so cold I thought it would make for a cozy dinner party food. I would like to find Raclette cheese and potentially a Raclette Grill. Does anyone out there know where I can find these things in the Boston metro area? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!!

Sunscreen: False Promises
Townsend Letter For Doctors
The False Promises of Sunscreens: The Real Consequences of Their Use
by Elizabeth Plourde, CLS, NCMP, PhD
The promotion surrounding sunscreens has been the promise that they protect from both skin cancers and photoaging of the skin. However, readily available evidence reveals that sunscreens not only increase the risk of skin cancers, including melanomas, but also leave the skin exposed to a higher percentage of the solar rays that actually break down collagen and elastin, resulting in greater photoaging of the skin than without sunscreen use.
Skin Cancers Increasing in Epidemic Proportions
Over last few decades, the admonition to use sunscreen whenever going outdoors has taken over the headlines, yet melanomas have shown a consistent rise in incidence rate since sunscreens were first introduced.
Basal Cell and Squamous Cell Carcinomas
The US National Institutes of Health does not keep track of the numbers of skin cancers that are caused by basal cell or squamous cell carcinomas as it does for melanomas. Therefore, retrospective (historic) case reviews and statistical analyses on pooled data bases need to be utilized to determine the prevalence of these skin cancers. In a Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) study published in 2005, doctors stated that they found that the number of women under age 40 diagnosed with basal cell carcinoma had more than doubled in the previous 27 years. The incidence rose from 13.4/100,000 to 31.6/100,000.2 They also stated that, during this same time, the squamous cell carcinoma rate for women also increased significantly.
An analysis published in Archives of Dermatology in 2010 showed that in the 14 years between 1992 and 2006, the total number of procedures for skin cancer in the Medicare (fee-for-service) population increased by 76.9%. The number treated per year rose during this time from 1,158,298 in 1992 to 2,048,517 in 2006. With totals of skin cancer diagnoses and number of patients in the US population much higher than previous estimates, the researchers concluded: "… these data give the most complete evaluation to date of the under recognized epidemic of skin cancer in the United States."
Our skin is designed to use antioxidants to neutralize the solar radiation as well as increase melanin in the skin as part of its natural protection. Melanin, the brown pigment made by the melanocytes in the basal layer of the skin, is the body's own built-in protective defense, as it effectively absorbs the energy of the UV radiation. The use of sunscreens stops the body's natural process of creating more melanin to protect the cells. Sunscreen use also prevents our built-in red warning light – painful sunburn on the skin – from signaling us to get out of the sun. Staying in the sun 10, 20, 30, or 50 times longer than people normally would because a sunscreen chemical is preventing the sunburn consumes the skin's store of antioxidants, leaving the skin open to damage from the radiation. The result has been increased skin cancers paralleling the increased use of sunscreens. One of the reasons that this has occurred is that the first sunscreens only blocked the UVB sunburning rays, and did not block the UVA portion of the solar spectrum. The UVA rays penetrate much deeper than UVB and create reactive oxygen species (ROS) that cause damage at the cellular level, damage that leads to both skin cancers and photoaging.
Combining Sunscreen Chemicals to Create 'Broad-Spectrum' Coverage
Even though this problem was soon recognized, it was not until 2011 that the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued new guidelines mandating that a sunscreen must filter both UVA and UVB radiation in order for manufacturers to put a SPF (sun protection factor) rating on their labels. These newer formulated sunscreens are termed "broad spectrum," as they are now required to filter both UVB and UVA solar rays. Since each chemical covers only a specific portion of the solar spectrum, several chemicals must be combined to assure that more of the solar spectrum is filtered. This combining creates diverse problems.
Accelerated Photodegradation:
Some of the chemicals or metals used as sun filters actually become inactivated upon exposure to sunlight, a photodegradation that prevents them from being capable of protecting the skin from solar radiation. This photodegradation can occur even more rapidly when chemicals are combined, compared with when they are used by themselves.
Increased Toxicity:
Even more important, research studies have been identifying that chemicals may not be "too toxic" when used individually, but low concentrations of several in combination create new harmful chemical complexes that result in a much more toxic formula. Articles end with the recommendation that all future research on possible toxic effects of sunscreen chemicals has to look at these chemicals in combinations, the way they are now being required to be sold.
Is Broad Spectrum UV Coverage Really an Answer?
Only 4% of the Solar Radiation that Reaches Our Skin Is UV
With the realization that UVA is more damaging, the promotion currently is: as long as we are using the "broad spectrum" sun filters, we are safe. However, the entire UVA and UVB spectrum makes up only 4% of the total solar radiation that reaches us through the earth's atmosphere. This is another reason why skin cancers have increased with sunscreen use. The far greater amount of radiation that our skin is exposed to is the near infrared radiation (NIR), and NIR constitutes 47% of the solar radiation penetrating our atmosphere and thereby reaching our skin. These rays penetrate even deeper than the UVA rays. They go deep into subcellular structures, including the mitochondria, where they create ROS, and that is where the blocking of damaging radiation needs to take place. Many new methods have been researched to prevent ROS damage at the mitochondrial level, but no satisfactory solutions have been found to stop the NIR damage – damage that can lead to skin cancers, as well as photoaging of the skin because NIR leads to the destruction of both collagen and elastin. Some researchers are investigating an agent called mitoquinone (MitoQ), a quinone similar to coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) that would work on preventing IR from producing ROS in the mitochondria. Preliminary studies are indicating that it does.
Sunscreen Chemicals are Potent Endocrine-Disrupting Chemicals
Not only are sunscreens doing the opposite of what they have been promoted for, many journal articles published today are revealing that these chemicals also lead to damaging changes in the species of life that have been tested. Classified as endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs), many of the sunscreen chemicals used are potent estrogens, antiestrogens, testosterones, and antitestosterones. In fact, the very commonly used benzophenones and salicylates demonstrate more antiandrogenic activity than that of flutamide, the antiandrogen drug given to prostate cancer patients to stop the influence of testosterone in the effort to slow prostate cancer growth. One chemical that is almost universally used in sunscreens is benzophenone-3 (BP3). A generational study on mice showed that it results in both general as well as reproductive toxicity These results demonstrate that this common sunscreen chemical affects the entire body, including the liver and kidneys, as well as disrupts normal reproductive development in subsequent generations.
Benzophenone is Found In 97% of Humans Tested
Due to such excessive use as has been promoted by both sunscreen manufacturers and the medical community, the chemicals are now so ubiquitous in the environment that they are in the bloodstreams of 97% of Americans who were tested, including 90% of Americans who stated that they had never used sunscreens.
Sunscreen chemicals are also found in household dust, which means that we are breathing them into our lungs, giving them even greater access to the bloodstream. In addition, 85% of nursing mothers' milk samples now test positive for sunscreen chemicals, resulting in our children's drinking potent hormones during crucial early development.
An even bigger problem is that many ingredients belong to a chemical family known as phenols. Bisphenol A (BPA) is a commonly known phenol, which as of 2011 in California and 10 other states is outlawed in baby bottles and baby items such as pacifiers. Phenols can pass through the placenta and enter the fetus. The fact that offspring of mice and rats exposed to sunscreen chemicals show general, thyroid, and reproductive toxicity means that these chemicals can cause the same harmful changes in our human offspring.
The Vitamin D Deficiency Pandemic
The promotion of using sunscreens in epidemic proportions has led to what is being described as a worldwide pandemic of vitamin D deficiency, so extreme that there has been a reemergence of rickets, the "17th century disease," in some parts of the world, including America. Rickets was given that title as it was rampant when people congregated in cities which became so large that they did not have exposure to sunlight. The vitamin D produced in the skin – our own built-in vitamin D manufacturing plant – in response to solar radiation is a crucial part of our overall health. Adequate vitamin D levels are essential to absorb calcium from the foods that we eat. With low levels of vitamin D, the body cannot adequately regulate calcium or phosphate levels for proper bone formation. This results in soft bones in newborns and toddlers. The children become bowlegged or knock-kneed and are diagnosed with rickets. Low vitamin D also results in the body's using parathyroid hormone to pull calcium from the bones for necessary muscle contraction and nerve conduction, which weakens bones even further, rather than building them. Back in the 17th century, once it was realized that lack of sun and therefore diminished levels of vitamin D in the body led to the development of rickets, sun exposure was actively encouraged, including putting babies and toddlers out in the sun, as well as fortifying foods with vitamin D. These practices wiped out that last pandemic.
Today, the message to fear the sunlight, along with the warning to never go in the sun without sunscreen, has led not only to a reemergence of rickets in the 21st century, but also to an increase in the many disease states that develop from low vitamin D levels, including osteoporosis.
Vitamin D plays such numerous roles in most body systems that our entire population is at risk for the many disease states that arise when levels of vitamin D are deficient due to slathering on sunscreen before going outdoors. Newborn infants are at risk for seizures because of low calcium levels caused by low vitamin D. Owing to its involvement in glucose metabolism, type 2 diabetes in adults is shown to be associated with low vitamin D levels, and low levels during pregnancy can result in newborns and children developing type 1 diabetes. Many autoimmune diseases such as Hashimoto's thyroiditis as well as bowel disorders like Crohn's disease can arise. Important in muscle metabolism, vitamin D levels when deficient can lead to fibromyalgia. The weakened muscles also can result in bladder incontinence and weak pelvic floors in women, which is linked to an increase in the number of caesarean deliveries that are necessary.
Could This Be One of the Factors Creating the Explosion of Autism and ADHD?
It is critical to research whether sunscreen chemicals, as well as sunscreen use resulting in lower vitamin D levels in mothers and children, could be part of the many environmental factors responsible for the rapid increase in the numbers of children with autism and ADHD in the last several decades. In the US, according to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), autism spectrum disorder is being diagnosed at younger ages. Their findings reveal that the prevalence in 8-year-old children increased an average of 57% just between the years 2002 and 2006.
Hormonally, many of the sunscreen chemicals act as potent antitestosterones, which means that the fetal development of boys would experience a much greater impact. The gender difference in autism incidence in the US today shows a ratio of 4 boys for every 1 girl diagnosed. More whites use sunscreens, since they do not have the protective melanin in their skin, and a higher percentage do show sunscreen chemicals in their blood compared with those with darker skin. Therefore we would expect to see more autism in the white population, and that is exactly what the statistics reveal – the incidence of autism is in fact higher. Additionally, sunscreen chemicals have been identified as thyroid disrupting chemicals (TDC). TDCs can create a disruption of the proper signaling of thyroid hormones in the brain during crucial times of cell migration and establishment of neuronal networks, creating permanent alterations in the developing human brain that could result in deficits in mental development. Research is also revealing that prenatal exposure to thyroid toxic chemicals could be one of the reasons for the current surge in numbers of autistic children.
Adding pieces of this puzzle together is the research of Dr. George Bartzokis, professor of psychiatry at UCLA's David Geffen School of Medicine. Bartzokis has been researching the role of the myelin sheath in neuropsychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia and Alzheimer's disease. More recently he has extended the idea that autism could be arising because of defective development of the myelin sheath in the nerve fibers in the brain during infant and childhood development. He reasons that toxins combined with genetic vulnerabilities could result in any of the ADHD and autistic spectrum of disorders. Which disorder develops would depend on the stage of brain development that was occurring in the child at the time of exposure to the insult to the myelination process, which heavily depends on cholesterol and nutrients such as vitamin D.
Another theory being developed by MIT researcher Dr. Stephanie Seneff, along with others, is that autism is in part caused by a severe deficiency in sulfate throughout the body. They propose that this deficiency comes about in part due to inadequate sun exposure to the skin, because the synthesis of vitamin D3 sulfate and cholesterol sulfate in the skin depends upon sun exposure. Sunscreen likely interferes with this natural process. Seneff has also argued that both cholesterol and vitamin D have to be available in sufficient quantities for the signaling of the necessary apoptotic pruning to occur in a child's brain, which usually takes place around age 2. This represents removal of irrelevant connections and unproductive neurons during the first years of development, which need to be systematically weeded out as they are no longer useful. This weeding does not occur unless there are adequate levels of cholesterol and vitamin D. Such weeding out is essential, and researchers are finding that this process does not occur in autistic children.

How Stone is Quarried & Processed
Quarrying natural stone and installing it in someone's home is an incredibly long and arduous process. Removing a 40,000-pound block of stone from the earth and turning it into a handcrafted countertop or gleaming marble floor is not easy. There are many steps and intricate details which cannot be overlooked in order for a piece of stone to find the perfect setting where it will look beautiful for years to come.
Take a tour of the Santa Cecilia quarry!
The first step to finding the perfect slab is finding an optimal deposit of material with desirable color, pattern, and composition. This requires geologists to look for stone outcrops which are more easily examined since the bedrock is exposed. Samples are then obtained by boring into the earth to take core samples with expensive diamond-tipped drill bits. These samples are then tested to determine if the stone is suitable for use as dimensional building stone. Later they are polished so that their color and pattern can be examined to determine marketability.
Once this is done, the owner applies for a concession for the quarry area. After the concession is purchased, the next step is to apply for all of the correct licenses from the local, state and federal government. This is a lengthy process in the United States and an even longer process in third world countries where corruption can exist on every level of the application process. Sometimes it can take years for the necessary "approvals" to be authorized. All of the paperwork must be submitted before the actual quarrying process can begin.
Clearing the way to reach the best material allows a quarry to reach its full potential. Each quarry presents a unique challenge for the extraction of blocks. There may be months of removing overburden, or dirt, before the stone is accessible. Many times innovative construction, such as building roads or digging tunnels, is necessary to access the quarry. At other times, the quarry faces the complex challenges of being in the middle of a war zone, or the extremes of glacial temperatures.
It takes lots of experience, vision and hard work to bring a quarry into full production. A good quarry manager is able to control how to material is removed based on the veining and coloration within the deposit. The manager must have the vision to see how the stone "flows" through the quarry. The same stone can take on many different looks just based on how the block is cut from the wall and later processed. If it is cut with the flow of the source stone, it is called Vein Cut. Vein Cut highlights the movement in the rock. Alternately if the block is cut against the vein, Cross-Cut, it creates a more uniform look for the stone.
After the quarry manager decides how to extract the blocks, the drilling can begin. The process starts by taking down a "bench wall," a large dimensional chunk of rock that is then cut into smaller blocks which will eventually be sent to the factory for processing. The bench walls are cut using a combination of diamond wire cables, drills and even high temperature torches that will melt the stone. Dirt is pushed up against the base of the wall to cushion the fall, and small dynamite charges jar the wall loose to bring it down to a horizontal position. The blocks can then be drilled from the bench wall. Blocks of a given type of stone usually have a fairly uniform size, due to the size of the processing equipment used. Granite blocks usually weigh between 38-42,000 pounds, while lighter marble and travertine blocks weigh between 15-25,000 pounds.
Once the blocks have been extracted, the journey to the processing facility can begin. For blocks processed in the same country, the trip is short in distance, but long in duration. The blocks could be high in the mountains of Brazil or off the beaten paths of India. Others are bought by overseas processors with skilled speculative buyers who combine geological science with an eye for color to select the best blocks for processing.
Once blocks of stone reach the processing facility, they are cut down into smaller more manageable pieces. For tile, this means cutting the stone into billets before polishing. For slab materials, this typically means a trip to the gang saw. A gang saw works just like a giant bread slicer, with many adjustable blades that allow for the thickness of the slabs to be adjusted. The gang saw can cut the entire block of stone into slabs at one time. More delicate materials may require the use of a diamond wire saw to gently cut one slab at a time with less trauma to the stone. The most recent technology involves multi-wire gang saws which have the potential speed production on exotic materials exponentially.
After slabs are cut on the gang saw, they are moved one at a time to the polishing line, where they are laid horizontally on a large conveyer type line called a polishing line. There, they pass under polishing heads which begin with very coarse diamond abrasives, and then move to finer and finer grit abrasives, just like sanding wood. Travertine slabs and some marbles, will receive a cementicous or epoxy compound to fill the natural voids of the stone. Part of the way through this line, slabs of granite, marble, and onyx will receive a coating of a resin treatment which will fill in any pits or micro fissures which are inherent to the stone in order to make the final surface easier to clean. Most of the excess resin is removed by further polishing, with only 1% remaining on the finished surface. For materials where the final surface is to be honed, the process will stop with a lower grit abrasive than materials with a polished surface.
At this point the materials are checked for quality and carefully packaged for their long journey. Tiles are packed into boxes and tightly fit into wooden crates that will protect them from bumps along the way. Slabs are bundled together and braced with a wooden framework, custom built to ensure the slabs stay upright during the shipping process. All materials are loaded into standard 20 foot shipping containers and braced to prevent any shifting or movement which could cause damage to the material. Due to the immense weight of stone, many containers are not fully packed, but are loaded to maximum weight limit of 42,000 pounds, or 20 tons.
The journey begins when the container is loaded by massive cranes onto a large ocean vessel. After about four or five weeks at sea, they arrive at US ports. Here the containers are offloaded with cranes, passed through customs, and transferred to rail cars for the trip to the Midwest. The last leg of the journey is a quick trip via tractor trailer from the rail depot to Global Granite & Marble's® door.

The '90s are back—but not the '90s you think. When perusing the Fall 2016 collections, Fashion Unfiltered's executive fashion editor-at-large, MELISSA VENTOSA MARTIN, and photographer JEROME CORPUZ couldn't help but recall Whit Stillman's Metropolitan, the 1990 film that detailed the sordid lives of Manhattan's haute urban bourgeoisie. Mixed with a dash of the season's understated grit and its Victorian-meets-Laura Ashley romance, what emerges is a thoroughly modern take on the poor little rich girl who dreams of escape. Here, HALEY PATRICK (NEXT) brings to life a cinematic tale of nostalgia and innocence lost in wares from Burberry, Balenciaga, Chloé, and more.

Microsoft Office's "Ribbon", Word 1.0 Unleashed and Some Apple-ish Findings
Jensen Harris' talk at UX Week was a great one. He cycled through all the releases of MS Word, since 1.0 to the latest version, in which MS introduced a new UI paradigm: the Ribbon.
I must say that was really amazed when MS Word 1.0 user interface showed up in the screen: it was impressively simple and straightforward! My first reaction was to wonder if I could buy a copy of that version! Maybe we could open a Vintage Software Online Store…
In the talk, Jensen made clear, in a humorous way, how MS failed to realize that the UI paradigm used for the initial releases couldn't stand the huge amount of new features that were being offered in each new version of the software. Then he showed how they managed to break it and think out of the box.
In my humble opinion, they have also failed along the years to realize that many of those features were not that important and could be left aside.
It happens every day, in lots of companies (including mine): "The user might like this and that as well, so why don't we give him options?…"
This is the start point for a featuritis plague.
Barry Schwartz, who wrote "The Paradox of Choice", says that, as freedom of choice is supposed to be good, we assume that more choices empower the user, offer a better service and give freedom, but in fact that's not true. When the amount of options increases up to a certain level, it can generate paralysis on the user's mind. One gets afraid of selecting an option that is not the better one, and much more effort is needed to make a decision. Sometimes the user will just leave.
There's a good quote I've heard at Bruce "Tog" Tognazzini's Interaction Design Course (Nielsen/Norman's Usability Week 05) that was something like "If it's not completely necessary to the user, it's noise". This is true. I have made myself a big favor and sticked a post-it in my mind with that.
Well, Jensen told that it took over a year for MS to get it right… and they did. Based on new design tenents, the team made lots of prototypes to rest assured the final version would be "Beyond Good Enough". Now that's really good: prototyping, testing, prototyping, testing again… The results?
Top feedback:
1) Makes it easier to create professional looking docs
2) More fun to use
3) More enjoyable\fewer steps to get things accomplished
4) More intuitive
5) More easy to find and discover new functionalities
What I really enjoy seeing is that each and every bullet has a link to people's feelings. Come with me:
1) I feel more powerful
2) I have fun
3) I enjoy getting the work done
4) I understand it. I don't feel dumb
5) It surprises me
…and all of this can be found in the DNA of an Apple product.
Ok, I'm a big Apple fan, but come on, they've been around for a while thinking about people, human factors and conditions.
Well, definetely not only Microsoft but lots of other companies are moving beyond feature-driven products to experience-driven products and services. It's easier when you live to see that iPod got a huge market share offering no new technology, but simplicity and aesthetics that talk to the heart and a seamless experience that goes way beyond the device itself.
Don Norman's Keynote and Storytelling with Kevin Brooks at UX Week 2008
Awesome talk. Don Norman starts pointing that we should refer to "People" instead of "User", even though he's the one who coined the term User Experience long time ago.
"We design for people, not for users!"
The great thing in being here watching Don talk is that I am a firm believer of everything he says (and a huge fan). I mean, we usually care about how people will think about our product, but in fact, we should care about how will people feel about using it. We are talking about emotions here, and how do people take those emotions into their lives.
One key statement on the presentation that goes with it is that a positive experience is based on memory, not on reality. So he took the iPhone example, it really lacks some important features (even more on the first version), but what you take of it is a good memory, hence a good experience.
So shouldn't we start thinking about how can we print good feelings in our audiences mind? Uniqueness should be a key factor in my opinion. If you develop something unique or even dress up something in a unique manner, it feels to me it's more likely to be remembered.
In the Storytelling workshop with Kevin Brooks, he told us that we need to craft our audience. One of the key points Kevin made was about Imagery, how we should use images when telling stories to bring the experience to be more sensorial. That words don't count, images do. When you tell a story, people are not building plots, they're building images. Images make stories more vivid in the head of the audience. So we all should be "Imagetellers" instead.
If that is true, shouldn't we try to think about more visual interfaces, with very simple animations just to tell a story (being very careful on this one) or how to get the interface to be more sensorial? It seems to me that if we do that, the product will stick to memory with ease and people can build up images from that.
One other key point in Kevin's speech is that the storyteller has to connect with passion if he wants to have the audience.
If we bring back from april's MX Conference the talk from Chip Heath, author of "Made to Stick", we'll remember that ideas that stick have the following:
- Simplicity
- Uniqueness
- Credible
- Concreteness
- Emotional
- Story
Look how it converges:
- The imagery Kevin told us about brings Concreteness and addresses the sensorial side, thus the Emotional;
- When you connect to passion, your story gets credible. People see it;
- We are conveying ideas as stories here, so check the Story bullet;
- Uniqueness comes from Don Norman's speech in my opinion, as I have already stated;
- Simplicity. Well, I've heard from all of them, read lots of times and have my own personal flag waving to my team and colleagues;
Now let's put this whole post in a blender. Check how we always relate to emotional states or in the end, that's what counts.
So I think all of us, UX designers, should give priority in understanding psychology and how to connect with people, instead of going freestyle or just following the products and technology that found their place in the sun.

Investors locked in profits after a week of gains yesterday, sending stocks lower even as oil prices fell for a fifth straight day and two...
NEW YORK — Investors locked in profits after a week of gains yesterday, sending stocks lower even as oil prices fell for a fifth straight day and two big cable operators reportedly agreed to bid for bankrupt Adelphia Communications.
The Dow Jones industrial average fell 84.98 to 10,461.34.
Microsoft, one of the 30 Dow stocks, retreated 16 cents yesterday to close at $24.94 a share, but gained 3.4 percent over the week. Boeing, also a Dow stock, fell 41 cents to $58.60, ending the past week off 0.3 percent.

Broader stock indicators also lost ground. The Standard & Poor's 500 index was down 9.94 at 1,181.20, and the Nasdaq composite index lost 19.44 to 1,999.35.
Despite yesterday's losses, all three indexes finished the week higher for the first time since March 4, buoyed by the largest weekly decline in oil prices since December. For the week, the Dow rose 0.6 percent, the S&P 500 climbed 0.7 percent and the Nasdaq gained 0.7 percent.
Wall Street welcomed news that Time Warner and Comcast teamed up in an $18 billion bid for Adelphia, in which a combined Time Warner/Adelphia cable company would be spun off into a public company. A private equity firm also announced a $1 billion offer for retailer ShopKo Stores, further bolstering enthusiasm over the year's healthy merger activity.
But even as crude prices continued their decline, investors shifted their holdings and took profits ahead of first-quarter earnings announcements, which begin in earnest next week, and economic reports that could shed light on inflation.
"Why wouldn't you take the money off the table, especially after seeing the market go down as low as it did last month?" said Brian Williamson, an equity trader at The Boston Company Asset Management. "I think some people are taking some profits, but volume is very low, and it's very quiet, so any move we have here today you have to take with a grain of salt."
Crude-oil futures dropped for a fifth straight day yesterday, though investors seemed skeptical that oil futures may, at least in the short term, have hit a ceiling. A barrel of light crude settled at $53.32, down 79 cents, on the New York Mercantile Exchange.
"Oil prices and interest rates continue to dominate," said Michael Sheldon, chief market strategist at Spencer Clarke. "We may need to see oil fall further before the markets get comfortable. And inflation is still an issue."
Despite soaring energy prices and the stock market's downturn in March, consumer confidence remained steady for the past month, according to the latest AP-Ipsos consumer confidence index. The index rose narrowly to 84.5 in April, compared to March's reading of 84.2.

RepairPal is your advocate for car care advice and guidance
Q: had trouble starting my car earlier,had power but turning the key did nothing on 2004 Chevrolet Monte Carlo
I was going to have the car towed but when the tow driver got there,he said that it had a recall. he turn the key forward and shifted to drive n neutral n reverse then put it back to park turn the key all the way and the car started. first time it has everdone this. anybody know what the problem is?
| |
Possible shift cable, trans position switch. Call the dealer and ask if it has a recall, they might ask for your Vin#.
It sounds like the safety neutral switch is either defective or misadjusted. The easiest way to tell is to set the park brake, turn the ignition on and shift the transmission in reverse. If the reverse lights are on, the switch is defective. If they are off, the switch needs adjusting. They are known to get loose from engine vibration. There are no recalls or TSB's on this problem in the database.
| |
Some now days are not called neutral safety switches anymore. That why it was phrased the way it was.
Didn't find what you were looking for?

Single mom moving to London: Can I make it?(27 Posts)
Hi everyone.
I'm new here (I mean at mumsnet and UK) and I have a 6 years old boy. I've been offered an excelent job in central London. By excelent I mean as a career opportunity. I'm from one of "those" south european countries with no jobs opportunities right now but some companies in London became very interessed to hire me.
I've been to London several times but only as a tourist. Now I will have to move in to London very soon and start to work (salary around 42K/A). I don't know the city and school's times, etc. Both me and the kid are very excited with the change (the city does not scares me, we already live at a busy city and love it).
I don't have any family in London, just single friends without kids. My job, sometimes will force me to work after hours or even weekends. For that I'll use my single friends to baby seat and, if they can't make it, a nanny or an au pair (I don't know exactly what is the difference in your country).
So basically, in your opinion, do you think that me and the kid can make it? I mean financilly and logistics?
What places to live do you recommend (will work at zone 1)?
I'm very social. Is it normal in London that moms that have kids in the same school help eachothers in case I can't pick him up on time? That's normal in my country...
Of corse will miss the family, the sun and the beach but I simply can not go further in my career in my country
I'm so confused... thank you for your time.
Gracias, obrigada, grazzie.
anyone please?....
I think you need a childcare plan because you will be very stressed if you need to rely on single friends at short notice.
The thing with London is that you will need childcare to cover the time it takes to get to and from work as well (unless you can afford to live in zone 1 ... Not sure you can on 42k plus childcare costs)
In your situation I would consider a live in nanny or au pair. This is because you mention irregular hours / weekends. So a breakfast club and after school club would not be enough. Although you could consider a combination. You may be able to get tax credits to help with childcare but I think you might be on too much money (not sure as you are a lone parent).
It's not normal here for other parents to pick your child up if you are late. I'm friends with a few of the parents at my child's school so we do help each other out sometimes but we also all live close by which isn't always the case. I wouldn't count on this being regularly possible.
I work an extreme full time job, my child is in childcare/school 7.30-6.30, this costs me £1250 per month. Even with that in place and two of us doing pick ups / drop offs, it's still quite hectic.
It's possible but you need a rock solid childcare plan. Good luck
As your son is 6 I think an au pair might be fine and perhaps the cheaper option than a nanny (although you will need 3 bedrooms not 2 then which is £££) and the au pair could not be expected to work weekends so you'd need an alternative if you had to work weekends. Hmm
Or you could get a nanny that does not live with you but again £££. You might need to think of it as an investment in your career until you make more money. 42k may be enough to cover full time nanny plus rent etc but it might not - it'd be pretty tight at best.
Hi RitaH20
Well, firstly you seem to have a really positive attitude and have also done the right thing by posting on here for advice.
I lived in London for 17 years and have just moved away - but it is a fantastic city.
The plus points:
So many free museums
Free bus travel for children
Multicultural and cosmopolitan city
Many excellent schools - if you live close enough to one!
The minus points:
Your salary won't be very high for central London
Childcare can be expensive
The cost of living can be quite high
Huge population density, meaning pressure on services
What I suggest, as a first step, is that you search on 'Rightmove' for places that you can rent for about
Try these areas as a starting point:
Mile End
Bethnal Green
Surrey Quays
These have all got quite fast connections into Zone 1 - although it depends on where exactly you need to go!
I have worked out that your net take home pay would be about £2500, BUT you would probably get stung for higher tax in your first few pay packets so you would need to come over with some money in savings.
Is there a particular area where your commuity lives?
Sorry, but I don't think that depending other mums to pick up your child from school is a viable plan! You may get this kind of arrangment in time, but you cant expect it straight away. It is definitely seen as a 'favour' in the UK, rather than something you do as a matter of course.
Sorry, look at what you can rent for about £1000 per month.
You could cut rental costs by sharing with your child initially and have room for au pair and get a place closer to your work. If there is eat in kitchen you could get away with a one bed flat...Then rethink in six months or a year. If your salary will rise.
Advertise ongumtree.com for live in child care au pair.
You cannot rely on strangers it will take a few months to get to know other parents enough to share picks ups .
Thank you so much for your answers. They told me about rises soon but I'm so used that companies lie about that (remember I'm from south europe...) that I found it hard to belive. I'm now consindering cestlavielife suggestion and hope everything will be OK
Thank you all again.
BranchingOut, I don't have a commuity in London, just a few single friends at different places in the city...
Good luck!
cestlavielife, is it http://www.gumtree.com/ ?
I live in Zone 3 and £1000 a month right now will barely get you a one bedroom flat. I know because I'm househunting right now with not much luck.
Yes, that's the website
Which part of London will you be working in? Do you know the nearest tube station? We can work on suitable areas if we know what transport links you need.
We have an underground railway and an overground one as well that serves central London and the suburbs very well and good bus routes. Take a look at tfl.gov.uk for all transport advice.
By the way, I was reading some ads offering au pair jobs and most of them includes a salary but does not includes acommodation. It's not a live in au pair but only a after school au pair with salary.
Am I getting it right?
I'll be working very near to Goodge Street Station. I also know tfl.gov.uk. What I don't know are the best / affordable areas to live at. But I will follow some information from this thread to start looking for a place...
London is a great place to live IMO. Loads to do with kids.
However, to answer your question " Is it normal in London that moms that have kids in the same school help eachothers in case I can't pick him up on time?"
No, that's not normal, you need to have childcare in place.
London rents are very expensive. It's very normal to travel 45 minutes across London or more to get to work. Zone 1 is astronomically expensive and few people who work there actually live there too.
Whereabouts in zone 1 will you be working? It's a massive area. If you can be a bit more specific we can suggest areas in London for you to consider.
About schools, the quality of schools varies, and there's a lot of pressure in London to get into the good schools. Children are selected simply on the distance from their school. If the school you want has a place you'll be accepted immediately. If there is no place available at the school you want, will be put on a waiting list. When a place becomes available it will be offered to whoever lives nearest to the school on the list, not whoever has been waiting longest. So, it pays to select the school(s) you want and then move as close as possible to them. We can help you identify the good schools once we have a better idea of which part of town you hsoul be looking in.
To find out about schools, look at their www.ofsted.gov.uk/inspection-reports/find-inspection-report and ask on mumsnet for the inside story. A good tip is to use the maps on www.rightmove.co.uk. If you look at an individual property, you can tick to see local schools on the map. Each one has links to information on the school, and their "OFSTED" report.
Schools generally start about 9am, and end about 3am, with a week off in October, the spring and summer terms. 2 weeks off at Christmas and Easter, and about 5 weeks or so in the summer. Assuming you are working full time, you will need to find childcare for the times they are not in school. Some schools offer breakfast and after school clubs.
Au Pairs are only live-in. An Au Pair is not a childcare professional. They are usually young women (18 or 19 years old) who come here to learn English.
You give them a room, and treat them as part of the family. You pay all their bills and an allowance to spend as they wish. They have very light duties, you would not leave them on their own with young children.
A Nanny is a childcare professional who works in your home. You employ them and must pay tax, national insurance etc for them.
A Childminder is self employed. They look after your child in their own home, along with other children. They are registered and inspected by OFSTED (the same body which inspects the schools). An excellent CM will be amazing
We got DS's two amazing CMs from this website www.childcare.co.uk
An au pair is a great solution if you just need a bit of help, have the space, are happy sharing your home and possibly looking after them a bit. The allowance is usually about £80 or £100 a week I think. So a very affordable way to get a bit of extra help (although you'll be paying through the nose for the extra room if in London!)
Nannies are expensive, and not generally inspected as Child Minders are, and come with the hassle of you having to be an employer. They can be live in or live out. Many people love their DCs having the one-to-one attention from a nanny however, and the convenience of having them in your own home.
On a general rule, anything to the East and South is cheaper than areas to the West and North of London.
Have just looked on rightmove and seen some 2 beds in Walthamstow for 1000pcm.
you can find on gumtree some students living at home who have free time in the afternoon so like a live out au pair. think from £8 to £12 per hour .
but if your hours are variable someone live in might be better. accomodation plus £85 per week .
for holidays play schemes/holiday clubs can be good. eg like fitforsport.co.uk all over london but circa £30 per day . some school based schemes cheaper.
goodge street northern line so look along the lne north. eg kentish town . archway. but also you can maybe walk from eg kings cross etc so look at nearby stations to ggodge street see if you up to walking to your work then look along those lines .
if you have to get to work for nine you will need before school au pair or child minder - ubless school ahs breakfast club
Victoria line takes you to Warren Street super quickly, so Walthamstow would still work quite well.
Goodge St has fabulous transport links - Northern Line, Victoria in to Warren St and Central at Tottenham Court Rd but closed at the moment because they are linking Crossrail - with transport links from the west right out to the East of London.
Lots of bus routes serve the area too - so as advised I would look East and South as prices are better. Depending on your job you may get help with housing -
As a single mum you may be entitled to social housing - you are from Europe - perhaps worth checking to see if you qualify? If not you may get Housing Benefit.

Maclean CenotaphPrint Page
A monument commemorates those from the district who have served in the various conflicts in which Australia has been involved. It was originally erected to commemorate those of World War One.
In the presence of fully 1000 people the memorial erected to fallen soldiers of Maclean and district was unveiled on ANZAC day. The president of the committee, Mr.O.R. Kelly presided and with him at the steps of the memorial were Dr.Earle Page M.H.R. , Mr.A.J. Pollack M.L.A., Cr.A. McKinnon, president of Harwood Shire Council, Mr.H.R. Till, president of the R.S.S. and S.I. League, Reverend C Rowe and Father Durkin.
Seated outside the enclosure were many mothers and relatives of men who paid the great sacrifice and whose names on the tablets of the memorial. The chairman called on Mrs. Mansfield , who, he said had lost two of her sons in the Great war to unveil the monument.

October 7, 2011. San Francisco. Each of California's US Attorneys announced today that they were combining their efforts to wipe out legal Medical marijuana shops throughout the nation's largest state. Even though medical marijuana is completely legal according to city, county and state law in California, as well as 15 other states, certain segments of the Federal government continue their vigilant crusade against the age-old treatment. At the same time, the Federal government itself has been buying and selling marijuana for medicinal purposes for decades.
Ever since California became the first state in the nation to legalize marijuana for medicinal use in 1996, Federal agencies like the DEA have repeatedly tried to shut the industry down. Unfortunately, their targets typically involve wheelchair-bound, decapitated Iraqi war veterans or frail, terminally ill cancer patients with only weeks or months to live. Carrying them away in handcuffs, DEA agents are used to angry shouts by witnesses and bystanders. "Why don't you go bust a meth lab, you wussies" one heckler was caught on video yelling.
And while 15 states and the District of Colombia have all legalized medical marijuana, the Feds just won't stop their crusade. Targeting regular sick Americans over ten dollars in marijuana seems almost anti-American when you consider at the same time, the ATF was caught supplying Mexican drug cartels with thousands of machine guns and other military assault rifles. Perhaps the DEA's time would be better spent investigating the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms. America's cities are drowning in blood caused by those same ATF guns and those same Mexican Cartels. When was the last time anyone heard of a drive-by shooting outside a medical marijuana dispensary in San Francisco?
An even deeper look into the Federal government's policy on medical marijuana reveals a gross hypocrisy, a criminal drug ring according to the DEA's own statements. Yes, as revealed by Associated Press last week, the Federal government actually buys and resells medical marijuana to American citizens. Federal prosecutors and DEA agents in California insist the sale of medical marijuana is illegal in every way, shape and form. And they continue to vow to put an end to the practice. That pledge only seems to reveal the ignorance of these four Federal prosecutors and their agents at the DEA.
The Associated Press article starts with the humorous story of a 72 year old woman, blind in one eye. While a passenger in a car that was pulled over in Oregon, she was arrested for possession of marijuana. The woman swore she was a legal recipient of the pot, sold to her directly by the US Federal government. Police supervisors were skeptical, but checked her story. After both the US Attorney's office and the US Drug Enforcement Agency confirmed her story, the woman was released and given back her government weed.
According to AP's research, a 1976 court settlement legalized medical marijuana. The Federal government even created its own program for growing and distributing it. While the government stopped accepting new patients in 1992, the program continues to supply medical marijuana to the patients still alive and still in the program.
The 72 year old woman mentioned in the AP article enrolled in the Federal government's medical marijuana program in 1988 and she couldn't be happier. She insists her case is proof positive that marijuana works as well as any medicine.
When AP contacted the US National Institute on Drug Abuse for a comment on the apparent hypocrisy, spokesman Steve Gust argued that the government has only continued to supply the marijuana "for compassionate reasons". How ironic. That's the exact same reason California and the other 15 states are doing it. This also presents a situation where the Federal government is putting cancer, AIDS and war victims in prison for simply smoking pot to relieve their pain. At the same time, those very same Federal agents are selling pot to other cancer, AIDS and war victims.
Marijuana was actually legal in the United States since the nation's beginning. During the mid nineteenth century, the plant was even recognized as an official medicine. During the mid-1930's however, misinformation campaigns led to a social hysteria against marijuana and it was banned by the Federal government.
Today, the Federal government's marijuana production and distribution network casts a wide net spanning a number of states. According to the same AP research, the Federal government's marijuana fields are located on the property of the University of Mississippi. There, the Federal government's entire marijuana crop is grown in one location. When Federal officials decide their marijuana buds are ripe and ready for harvest, the marijuana is picked.
From Mississippi, the Federal government then traffics the marijuana shipment to a facility in North Carolina. There, the drugs are cleaned, chopped, rolled into perfect joints and prepped for distribution. The Federal government typically scores a half pound of weed for each customer, rolled into 300 joints and packed into metal tins. From the Federal government's secret facility in North Carolina, the marijuana shipments are then distributed to patients once a month at different points throughout the nation.
Please excuse the heavy sarcasm at the end of this particular article. While we here at Whiteout Press support the legalization of medical marijuana, we respect the opposing view as well. To find out the Federal government is persecuting and prosecuting sick and dieing people and shutting down medical marijuana dispensaries in California, while at the same time operating their own medical marijuana dispensaries in Mississippi and North Carolina, it's just a sad, sad, shame.

In this case, it would do no bad. UTF-8 is compatible with ASCII, your files and acts will need no changes. Even if you used a language with a few accented characters (French, Spanish, Polish, etc.), your files would only change with regards to those characters (which would take 2 instead of one byte - but you could have French and Polish in the same file, for example). The difference is minimal, and, for English only, inexistent. -- The human race never solves any of its problems.

Memory Chapter 8
the persistence of learning over time; storage and retrieval of information
flashbulb memory
a clear memory of an emotionally significant moment or event (ex. 9/11)
1st step of information processing/memory storage; how we get information into our brain; input is translated into something meaningful to be remembered
2nd step of information processing/memory storage; retaining info for long periods of time
3rd step of information processing/memory storage; getting the memory back out
three-stage processing
Atkinson and Shiffrin's 3-stage memory model; 1. info is recorded as sensory memory, 2. processed into short-term memory, 3. encoded for long-term memory
sensory memory
the immediate, very brief, initial recording of information from our eyes, ears, taste, touch, and smell info in the memory system; includes most immediate thoughts
short-term memory
memory that holds a few items briefly before they are stored or forgotten; includes some important thoughts; can remember up to 7 things (ex. phone numbers)
long-term memory
the permanent and limitless storehouse of memory; includes knowledge, skills, and experiences
working memory
a newer understanding of short-term memory that focuses on consciousness, active processing of incoming auditory and visual-spacial information, and of information retrieved from long-term memory
automatic processing
unconscious encoding of space, time, and frequency and of well-learned information, such as word meanings; (ex. remembering where you ate yesterday)
effortful processing
encoding that requires attention and conscious attempts; (ex. studying - what you're doing right now)
the conscious repetition of information; used to encode for storage; as it increases, re-learning time decreases
spacing effect
the tendency for study that is stretched over longer periods of time to yield better results than studying the night before
serial position effect
tendency to remember the first and last items better than the rest; remember things because of their place on the list.
visual encoding
remembering images and graphics or pictures
acoustic encoding
remembering sounds, especially word sounds (ex. it's easier to remember rhymes)
semantic encoding
the encoding of meaning; remembering meaning (ex. word meaning)
mental pictures; powerful aid to effortful processing
mnemonic devices
memory aids; includes method of loci, peg-word system, acronyms
method of loci
Greek mnemonic device; scholars would imagine themselves in different LOCations and associated each place with an image of the to-be-remembered topic
peg-word system
associating an idea with a peg word; (ex. one is a bun, two is a shoe, three is a tree...I want to remember to buy carrots at the store, so I image a carrot-flavored bun.)
organizing items into meaningful, familiar categories; often occurs automatically; (it's easier to remember 1492 and 1812 instead of 1,4,9,2,1,8,1,2,)
creating words or setences from the first letters of words to be remembered (ex. ROY G. BIV)
Iconic memory
a photographic memory lasting for a few tenths of a second; everyone has it; discovered by Sperling
echoic memory
a momentary audio memory of a sound; sounds, words, and repetitions of sound can be remembered within 3 to 4 seconds, even if attention is elsewhere
long-term potentiation
prolonged strengthening of POTENTIAL neuron firings; by stimulating certain neural connections repeatedly, they become more efficient at releasing neurotransmitters; neural basis for learning and memory
the loss of memory
implicit memory
learning still occurs, but the person doesn't remember what they have learned; implied memories; also called procedural memory or nondeclarative memory (ex. amnesia patient plays golf a lot and gets good at it, but can't remember ever playing golf)
explicit memory
memory of facts that one can consciously known and DECLARE; also known as declarative memory; one can declare that they remember the experience or fact
the neural center in the limbic system that processes explicit memories for storage; (ex. We don't remember our first 3 years because the this is the last brain structure to develop, yet we still remember how to crawl and eat and breathe)
processing site for implicit memories; memories for skills and conditioned associations are kept here
stores implicit emotional memories; damage to this brain area prevents one from learning to fear
ability to retrieve information not in conscious awareness (ex. fill-in-the-blank test)
ability to identify items previously learned (ex. multiple-choice test)
a memory measure that assess the amount of time saved when learning material for a second time
identifying the strands that lead to a specific memory held in storage; gear up the mind to get the specific details out
deja vu
"I've seen this before"; cues from your current situation my subconsciously trigger retrieval of past memories
mood-congruent memory
tendency to recall experiences that are consistent with one's current good or bad frame of mind.
confusing the source of info (ex. remembering a movie scene as a real life event)
proactive interference
when stuff you learned in the past interferes with what you're learning now (ex. Grandma can never be a computer expert because she thinks the computer is an old typewriter.)
retroactive interference
when new information makes it harder to remember old information; (ex. There are so many new styles out nowadays that I can't remember the old clothing styles!)
misinformation effect
incorporating misleading information into one's memory of an event (ex. How fast were the cars going when they SMASHED into eachother?)
source amnesia
also called misattribution; attributing the wrong origin to an event we have experienced, heard about, read about, or imagined (ex. remembering a movie scene as something the really happened)
Repressed Memory
memories that have been unconsciously blocked due to the memory being associated with a high level of stress or trauma.

text: Ok, so I recently bought a 22/45 used and apparently the guy who owned it before me thought it would be a good idea to locktite or super glue the hammer bushing (40) to the hammer pivot pin (44.) So, I took it apart to familiarize with the gun and I knocked out all the pins and find out the hammer pivot pin won't come out. So the gun no longer works because I can't put the sear, or sear spring back in without removing the hammer pivot pin. I was going to send it in the Ruger to fix (They said they would do it for free) but shipping is $40 and I figured I could cut out the pin and replace the parts for cheaper, plus a lot less of a wait. So I used my dremel and cut through the hammer and sliced the pin and hammer bushing in half. I pulled the pin out and got all the parts out. Now, I know a few of you guys have 22/45s and I Was wondering if you guys had a spare hammer assembly sitting around because you upgraded I know it's a long shot but I'm a little low on money now and don't really want to shell out the money for a target hammer The other parts I ordered from Ruger but they said they don't sell hammer assemblys unless you send the gun in. Cliffs: Previous owner glued my gun, had to cut parts to fix it, need hammer assembly from someone who has upgraded. Will pay for it.

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2017
England with the Norman Conquest of 1066. Folkert is a name that comes from the medieval given name Folchard. This Norman name is of Germanic origin, and is composed of the elements folk, which means people, and hard, which means brave, strong, or hardy. In the 12th century, the name Folkert continued to be used as a first name in the areas of Norfolk and Suffolk.
Folkert Early Origins
Devon, where they settled after 1066. Radulfus Fochart was registered in Normandy in 1198.
Folkert Spelling Variations
Folkert Spelling Variations
Anglo-Norman names are characterized by a multitude of spelling variations. When the Normans became the ruling people of England in the 11th century, they introduced a new language into a society where the main languages of Old and later Middle English had no definite spelling rules. These languages were more often spoken than written, so they blended freely with one another. Contributing to this mixing of tongues was the fact that medieval scribes spelled words according to sound, ensuring that a person's name would appear differently in nearly every document in which it was recorded. The name has been spelled Folkard, Fokard, Folkart, Folkert, Foucard and many more.

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
For many English families, the political and religious disarray that plagued their homeland made the frontiers of the New World an attractive prospect. Thousands migrated, aboard cramped disease-ridden ships. They arrived sick, poor, and hungry, but were welcomed in many cases with far greater opportunity than at home in England. Many of these hardy settlers went on to make important contributions to the emerging nations in which they landed. Among early immigrants bearing the name Folkert or a variant listed above were:

An Indonesian man Abdullah Sholeh, 31, has formed an unbreakable bond with four-year-old, 27-stone tiger.
He regularly sleeps, plays and fights with the enormous tiger.
The pair has spent every day together since Mr Sholeh helped raise her from a three-month-old cub in Malang, Indonesia. He now cares for her full-time for owner Noer Mohammaed Sholeh and has become affectionately known as the tiger nanny.
The pair are so inseparable, that Mr Sholeh often shuns his own bed to sleep alongside the big cat in a rickety outhouse.
The tiger Bengal Mulan is even known to 'mock attack', hug and kiss her companion when they play in the garden behind their home.
However, despite the play-fighting Mr Sholeh still suffers from time to time minor injuries as a result of Mulan's strength.
