"Don't play bingo. Legs eleven, my giddy aunt!"
"Who said ants are strong? I can still- I can still- I can still- I can- I can- I--- Bollocks! Squish 'em."
"The zero is the same. It always will be. It never changes. Zero is zero.... One? Huh, he's just a lonely cunt."
Karen's note: Ok, about that first one, Adam tells me that "legs eleven" is how you call out the number eleven in bingo. It frightens me that he knows this. He also tells me that "my giddy aunt" is some sort of expression that means "silly," although it definitely not the sort of thing he would ever use when awake. Anyone want to check on the validity of these?

Legs Eleven is definitly 11 in bingoReplyDelete
Yup, I can confirm both of these :)ReplyDelete
giddy aunt does indeed mean silly or foolish, but as you said, I don't know anyone who'd use the term out loud...ReplyDelete

Yer, legs 11 is a bingo term like 2 fat ladies.ReplyDelete
And my giddy aunt is like "oh my gosh"

Legs eleven is followed in bingo by a slow wolf whistle. Did he do this??? And my giddy aunt means 'oh my goodness' and I (shameful blush) sometimes use it to avoid swearing in front of the kids... Soph :)ReplyDelete
Yah, legs 11 is a bingo term, and my giddy aunt means 'oh my goodness' or similar.ReplyDelete

Your posts never fail to make me giggle like an idiot. Thank goodness I read this blog at home where nobody can see me. They'd call me certifiably crazy if they saw my reactions to your posts. Love it!!!ReplyDelete

Both Legs 11 and My giddy Aunt played big parts in my childhood.ReplyDelete
I was, as a snotty brat of a Girl Guide, a caller at the bingo run each week for the local RNID (yes D, DEAF) home. (Apparently, it let them practice their lip-reading skills.)
And whenever one of us kids did anything REALLY stoopid, my mother used to say the latter, with enough withering expression and force to make you want to crawl away and die in a convenient hole.

At least, thats what it means in Yorkshire. :)

'My giddy aunt' was used fairly often by my former employer - an 84 year-old. It means something like 'goodness gracious' and to say it's archaic is an understatement.ReplyDelete

'oh my giddy aunt!' a lovely clean expression of surprise which we simply don't use enough these days.... as for the bingo, legs 11, two fat ladies 88, all the 2s 22... it's an other fine old english passtime. The bingo-caller has a little phrase for each number, to add a bit of showmanship to the game, and also allow enough time for players to mark their numbers.ReplyDelete

adam you are just too funny.ReplyDelete
i love reading this blog, it makes me laugh so much.
thanks adam.
It shouldn't frighten you that Adam knows legs eleven, even if you never play bingo it's just one of those things that people know. My great aunt and great gran used to live together at house number 88 which always made me chuckle...ReplyDelete
Legs eleven is indeed the phrase they use to call out the number 11 in bingo - there are plenty of others too (88 - two fat ladies, 22 two ducks etc).ReplyDelete
- Anonymous17 February 2010 at 11:41
As an American living in the UK, I can confirm that "my giddy aunt" is indeed a British expression of surprise or amusement, rather like "oh my goodness". It's a little old fashioned and I have never personally used this phrase, although I have heard it used in conversation - usually when the person is trying to avoid using various swear words we won't mention here. ;)ReplyDelete
- Anonymous17 February 2010 at 11:47
you may find that useful, and if the lovely hubby reads it you'll get more entertaining bingo numbers coming up! Maybe we can all grab a card for the next two weeks sleeps and see who wins. :)

My father used to say "oh my giddy aunt!" when he was despairing/amused by a situation. It's a very old fashioned polute way of saying "oh for god's sake!" or "for crying out oud!" (or similar phrases I am too polite to post here.ReplyDelete

"My Giddy Aunt" is stereotypically something an elderly person would say... I believe STM is mocking bingo as being an old person's game.ReplyDelete
I was just doing a history club with some middle school students yesterday, and one of the girls brought some papers with her from when her grandmother had been lucky enough to get sent to England (from Canada) for the coronation of King George VI. At the back of her journal was a list of British expressions and what they meant, and "my giddy aunt" was one of them, so it was used by teens in 1937, at least.ReplyDelete

I used to call Bingo at an old folks' home. They soon told me off if I forgot one of the special phrases. It's mostly only the doudle-digit numbers that have them (like Legs 11 and Two fat ladies) but we also had "one little ducky on his own, number 2" and "five-and-nine, the Brighton line, toot-toot" (where I had to do a train toot sound). I got very very scowled at when I forgot that one.ReplyDelete
Are we seeing a new theme emerge?ReplyDelete
"Don't play bingo. Legs eleven, my giddy aunt!"
"Too many legs! Far too many legs.Can't play football. Trip myself up."
"Legs time! Everybody get your legs!"
I wonder if his talking about one being lonely is a reference to this song: http://lyrc.com.ar/en/tema1en.phpReplyDelete
Opening lines:
one is the loneliest number that you'll ever do
two can be as bad as one, it's the loneliest number since the number one
Always smile in anticipation when a new post pops up in my RSS feed reader. Thank-you Adam's subconscious.
I'd only be concerned if Adam is from or has ever spent time around the Midlands in England. Legs 11 is the name of a pretty horrible strip club in Birmingham.ReplyDelete
Sorry if I landed you in it Adam...

"legs -11, two little ducks - 22, two fat ladies - 88"ReplyDelete
I suspect this custom grew up due to the age of most bingo players and the associated loss of hearing. It most certainly is real. You might well enjoy watching "The Mighty Boosh episode: Nannageddon" for a perverted example).
"My giddy aunt" is also a real expression and was often uttered by the 2nd Doctor Who incarnation (Patrick Troughton roughly 1967-70), but rarely heard now.
I can also confirm both those expressions, being English myself. My giddy aunt is a slightly outdated expression now, but as the post mentions above, was used in various BBC productions and books.ReplyDelete

A singing songbite whirling in Sleep-o-Adam?ReplyDelete
reminds me of the song Two Divided by Love - Grass Roots - can only be one and one is a lonely number OR
Three Dog Nights - One is the Loneliest Number, It's the loneliest number, since the number one ... is the loneliest number that you'll ever do...
zero is as Zero, does = 0 = 1 single digit all by it's lonesome, but never forgotten...0 degrees is better than -1 and below! just zeroing in on the O effect.
Law of physics that zero goes nowhere up nor down, invisibly fast nor slow...it remains on an even keel , balanced and proportioned :)
I o_o that now.
... and over in the corner, over there...
in a giddy mood, my giddy, my giddy, my bad!...my giddy aunt! ROTFL, My Giddy Aunt is ranting over the ants taking on an arm ('n a leg )wrestling match with Adam in his sleepy pajamas asking himself - - -
"Who said ants are strong? I can still- I can still- I can still beat'em!...- I can- I can- I--- Bollocks!

Giddy aunt also means "oh my gosh" to me, born in Cornwall. Although my dad and family are from Yorkshire......
That's definitely an affirmative on the 'leg's eleven' and 'giddy aunt'...I think the latter was last heard on teatime drama for kids in the 70'sReplyDelete

If you cant beat them, squish them. I believe that all people abide by your methods. It is the jealous spirit inside all of us that yearns to sabotage others when the goal is beyond reach. Ants can lift twenty times their own body weight. Many humans cannot even lift twice their weight. When the odds are so stacked against you, the last resort is to stop others by any means possible.ReplyDelete

Everyone knows the bingo calls. 'My giddy aunt' is a really funny way of saying 'my goodness!'.ReplyDelete
Incidentally, are you guys going to a jungle for your honeymoon? Is it in a flight path?
Oh, yeah. I remember "legs eleven" and "two fat ladies" (88) from when my grandmother used to take me along to bingo when I was little. :-PReplyDelete
I don't remember 22 being two ducks (that's cute, I like that!) -- I do remember "all the 2s" as someone mentioned above.
The bingo caller where my grandmother went also used to say "lucky for some, thirteen" -- since, I suppose, someone might win on that number. :-)

I recall noticing a bit of cross-cultural borrowing in bingo, in a TV documentary (on what, precisely, I can't remember): the caller announced number 54 as "Car 54." with the players response, "Where AAARE you?"*ReplyDelete

A bit late to join in, but "Oh My Giddy Aunt" was used as a substitute for blaspheming, the real term being "Oh My Gawd Above". "Oh My Giddy Aunt Fanny" takes it a step further.

If you have ever seen the IT Crowd, one of the characters says "I am a giddy goat!". Have a look on YouTube if you're interested to see. Giddy does mean silly, but it's more ditzy than silly, I suppose. It was used more "back in the day" here in England. Everyone in England knows that "legs eleven" is 11 in Bingo. There's way more of 'em (two fat ladies is 88, for example). Calling numbers out this way at Bingo in England is somewhat of a tradition, nowadays, albeit weird.ReplyDelete

Nick Lachey Kicked Out of NFL Game for Trash-Talking
Nick Lachey loudly threw his support behind his favorite NFL team, the Cincinnati Bengals, this weekend - and he got thrown out of the game for his efforts.
Lachey was allegedly trash-talking at the Bengals-Chargers game in San Diego when he was forcibly escorted from the stadium by security. TMZ posted video of the incident.
Everybody's posing nude! Check out Rihanna and other stars who've bared all
There's no word on what exactly caused him to be kicked out, but Lachey tweeted Monday: "Majority of charger fans were awesome yesterday, thanks for the hospitality! Sadly, there is always one guy that ruins it for everyone....."
The ejection did little to dampen Lachey's spirits, though. "Just got kicked out of the chargers stadium and couldn't be prouder! Go Cincy Bengals," Lachey tweeted shortly after being removed.
Check out the hottest looks from the 2012 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show
And later, after the Bengals defeated the Chargers 20-13, he added: "Bengals win again. i'd talk trash to everyone in SD, but what's the point? You already had me kicked out of the stadium and you still lost."

With the factories the pollution and jobs were also exported. (American ones) Otherwise it would be US wearing those little white masks by now. And one less Log Cabin Republican would there be.
You see, Americans are 4% of the world's population yet account for about 41% of all pollution. Our factories *had* to be exported. For if what Americans consumed were all Made in the USA, so would all the pollution caused by making stuff for yous.
Indeed. We would be wearing little white masks by now had our factories not been exported.
If you allow Americans to shat on you we will provide security in your area.
You see, Americans used to just place their millions of tons of garbage onto ocean going barges and dump their trash into the Atlantic Ocean. (Much like Chicagoans did to the Great Lake)
Much of that trash washed up on African shores. But the majority of it remains in something that can be seen from the moon: A trash ball the size of Texas swirling in the Atlantic right now.

– A child is getting raiped every 5 seconds in India. Gandhi even raiped his niece Manu.
– In every 10 seconds an adult male is getting raiped in India. Hijras are a favorite.
Modis preferred style.
– Every 2 seconds an adult female is getting raiped in India. Khusras are a speciality.
Interestingly, first three types of raipes mentioned above are perfectly legal under
Indian tribal laws. Even for female raipes, only less than 1% of the raipes are actually reported!

Living in shoe apparently makes old woman cranky
It was Peter Pumpkin Eater who tipped me off. Nursery rhymes are not politically correct, and they run the gamut of violent, mean and morbid.
I noticed Peter on one of my 2-year-old son's stacking blocks. I'd heard "Peter, Peter, Pumkin Eater" a hundred times, but I hadn't listened to it within the context of 2007.
First, Peter's wife kept running away (he couldn't keep her). But instead of buying flowers or getting a marriage counselor, Peter confines his wife to a pumpkin shell, "where he kept her very well." I suppose the use of the word "well" here is subject to interpretation. My wife, for instance, wouldn't find a pumpkin-shell cage particularly endearing. Likewise by society's standards, methinks Peter would be considered a criminal.
And what about Georgie Porgie and Wee Willie Winkie? Today, these guys would get the cops called on them. Georgie sounds like he falls somewhere between a debaucher and a date rapist (kissed the girls and made them cry). Crying is not an endorsement. What part of "crying" does Georgie not understand? On another note, I've yet to understand what role the puddin' and pie play in his sordid activities.
And Wee Willie Winkie. Let's just say these days he'd be required to register with the local PD wherever he moves. He runs through the town in his nightgown rapping at windows. Maybe Merv would be a more fitting name. And whilst we're talking about law straddlers, let's investigate the Old Woman in the Shoe. Here's a sweet rhyme for the toddlers.
Nothing against aging mothers, but how old is this woman and why does she have so many children that she knows not what to do (welfare mother)?
She gave them some broth without any bread (starvation) and whipped them all soundly (child abuse) and put them to bed. Does anybody know the DCFS hotline number?
In researching for this column, I found some nursery rhymes that escaped my childhood. It's not difficult to understand why.
Take "Taffy Was A Welshman," for example. I'd never heard of Taffy, but he evidently was not the toast of the town.
"Taffy was a Welshman, Taffy was a thief; Taffy came to my house And stole a piece of beef.
"I went to Taffy's house, Taffy was not home; Taffy came to my house And stole a mutton bone.
"I went to Taffy's house, Taffy was not in; Taffy came to my house And stole a silver pin.
"I went to Taffy's house, Taffy was in bed; I took up a poker And threw it at his head."
OK. First, that could put an eye out. Second, what a nice character for kids to emulate. Sure, there's a pattern of burglary, but it's nothing a good poker to the head won't cure. And, an important lesson for the kids, if you are going to spear someone with a poker, best to get them in their sleep.
Some rhymes may be absent the obligatory criminal, but they are disconcerting nonetheless.
Baking live blackbirds in a pie today would draw some complaints from PETA. And, at the end of this little ditty, a bird pecks off the maid's nose. And we're worried about TV violence.
Or, how about a mean-spirited rhyme such as "The Old Grey Mare."
It's like saying, "Hey, kids, let's make fun of the aged."
And while saying "the Old Grey Mare ain't what she used to be" is heartless enough, repeating it half a dozen times teaches kids how to twist the knife.
And finally, how about this "Grapes of Wrathish" rhyme about a dead goose?
"Go tell aunt Rhody the old grey goose is dead,
"Grandpa found her dying in the millpond on her head,
"The gander won't eat now, gander won't eat now, because his wife is dead,
"Let's pray for the babies, pray for the babies, because their mama's dead,
"Somebody go tell aunt Rhody, go tell aunt Rhody the old grey goose is dead."
OK, I'm bawling. Forget about Old Yeller, this dead goose is leaving behind motherless goslings.
One thing is for sure, these rhymes are not Disney ready. In fact, I found one Web site where people submit their own alternate, "happy" versions of "The Old Woman in the Shoe."
Here's one:
"There was an old woman who lived in a shoe.
"She was a kindhearted mom who knew exactly what to do.
"She raised all her children with patience and love.
"Never once did she give them a spank, shake or shove."
And this is why you don't see great nursery rhymes written today. We're afraid to bash Taffy with a poker or kill off the old grey goose. Sure, Peter Pumkin Eater has his faults, but boring he is not.

VIDEO: Deer bolts from car trunk past stunned officer
Associated Press
KALAMAZOO, Mich. - Talk about junk in the trunk.
A public safety officer checking a suspicious car parked behind a southwestern Michigan motel early Tuesday was more than a little surprised when a deer climbed out of the trunk, stumbled onto the road and bolted into nearby woods.
TV stations WWMT, WZZM and WOOD report that the driver told Kalamazoo officer David Miller he hit the deer on the road - thought he had killed it - and was taking it home for his family to eat.
Squad car dashboard camera footage shows Miller opening the trunk, then quickly trying to close it as he spots the deer. The animal escapes from the trunk, rear first, stumbles and rolls, then dashes off.
Lt. Stacey Geik says the collision probably just stunned the deer.

Stars are plasma, gas ionized as the result of extreme internal temperatures. A solitary star will be mostly spherical under the force of its own gravity. However, when stars are in close binaries, their mutual attraction distorts their shapes. The extreme version of this is the common envelope stage, wherein the stars' outer regions merge to make a single, huge double star. According to theory, that is. While nobody seriously doubts this model, all the observational evidence for common envelope binaries is indirect.
A new Science paper proposes that a class of violent astronomical events that we've observed may be due to common envelope stars, providing more direct evidence for their existence. These cataclysms are known as "red transient outbursts," and in brightness terms, they're somewhere between novas (flares of nuclear activity at the surfaces of white dwarfs) and supernovas, the violent deaths of stars. N. Ivanova, S. Justham, J. L. Avendado Nandez, and J. C. Lombardi Jr. identified a possible physical model for these outbursts, based on the recombination of electrons and ions in the plasma when the stars' envelopes merge.
The most famous red transient outburst came from the star euphoniously known as V838 Monocerotis. Before 2002, nobody had noticed the star at all, but for a brief period of time, it expanded hugely, flared brightly, and shed an impressive amount of gas and dust into surrounding space. The Hubble Space Telescope (HST) tracked the outburst over the intervening years, but despite the regular check-ins, there is no widely accepted explanation for it.
On the theoretical side of the coin, common envelope events (CEEs) are a standard part of stellar astrophysics, yet all observational evidence for them is indirect at best. According to the models, CEEs occur when one star transfers a lot of its mass onto another star, or a stellar remnant like a white dwarf or neutron star. When this happens, the recipient object is sometimes unable to accept all the mass, and the gas forms a shared envelope between the two bodies.
The shared envelope produces a huge drag on one or both stars, reducing the separation between them drastically. At the end of the process, the binary sheds a lot of its mass into space and, at least in some cases, the stars can merge catastrophically. CEEs are one possible cause of type Ia supernova explosions. But it's very hard to actually image any of this happening. The CEE stage of binary evolution is relatively brief, and since the separation between the stars is small, it's very difficult to even tell there are two stars there.
Enter the new study. The researchers examined a model for the mass ejected during a CEE, including the light it should emit. The shared envelope initially would be plasma: a neutral gas of free electrons and the positively charged atoms they were stripped from. In the model, as the mass was swept away from the binary, it would rapidly cool. This would allow some of the electrons to rejoin their atoms, a process known as recombination. The authors' model showed this happening along a roughly spherical surface within the extended shell of gas.
Recombination releases a lot of energy in the form of light, making a spherical glowing surface not unlike the surface of a star—but far larger. That could explain the impressive apparent growth of V838 Monocerotis, for example. Similarly, the temperature of recombination would result in predominantly red light emission, explaining another characteristic of red transient outbursts.
The authors compared their model both to V838 Monocerotis and V1309 Scorpii, another outburst event long believed to be a binary star merger. Their predictions matched both the luminosity and duration of the events, lending strong support to the idea that these were caused by CEEs. While their model did not predict that all red transient outbursts are CEEs, it does provide enough testable parameters to compare to the rates of outbursts and CEE-triggered supernovas.

Doctors used a disabled form of HIV to reprogram a child's immune system to kill her cancer. Emma Whitehead had been battling leukemia for two years and has now been in remission for seven months thanks to the groundbreaking medical treatment.
"Different to using chemotherapy to achieve those goals, you take out some of the body's immune cells and you basically reprogram them. You put some genetic material into them that teaches the cells to attack that cancer," says Dr. Sanjay Gupta. "They're using a sort of deadened form of the HIV virus to transport that genetic material into cells."
The experimental procedure was developed by researchers at the University of Pennsylvania, and they've tested it on 12 patients so far with varying results. The $20,000 price tag is cheaper than a bone marrow transplant.
Explaining the science behind the body's reaction, Gupta says, "The person also, often times, gets very sick. They get the immune system really blown up. It's a long hospitalization, it's a tough hospitalization."
Gupta also points to the possible implications for patients who relapse. "If you have these cells in your body that are now trained to be able to recognize that cancer, if the cancer were to ever come back, it is possible these cells could immediately attack it. So it's kind of, almost like a cancer vaccine....imagine that."

now i came to believe that Hiv was created by mankind. how come HIV can treat leukemia. making people suffer for nothing. God have mercy on us
I just watched Ashley Banfied about Hiv cells used to maybe cure cancer. I THINK THIS IS GREAT! This could be a break through in the cure of cancer. I sure hope so. Good Luck Emma.

A white reporter who watched Satchel Paige pitch in the Negro Leagues in the 1930s said that when Paige threw the ball, you saw only something that resembled "a thin line of pipe smoke." Janet Maslin writes in a review Larry Tye's new Satchel: The Life and Times of an American Legend (Random House, 392 pp., $26).
"When asked if he threw that fast consistently, Paige, who would become famed for choice aphorisms, replied: 'No, sir. I do it all the time.'"

JERUSALEM — Israeli aircraft pummeled rocket launching operations of Gaza militants on Friday, and as troops, tanks and armored personnel carriers massed near the Palestinian territory, signaling a ground invasion might be growing near.
Fighting between the two sides escalated sharply Thursday with a first-ever militant attack on the Tel Aviv area, menacing Israel's heartland. No casualties were reported, but three people died in the country's rocket-scarred south when a projectile slammed into an apartment building.
The death toll in the densely populated Palestinian territory climbed to 19, including five children according to Palestinian health officials, as waves of Israeli fighter planes and drones sent missiles hurtling down on suspected weapons stores and rocket-launching sites.
Early Friday, 85 missiles exploded within 45 minutes in Gaza City, sending black pillars of smoke towering above the coastal strip's largest city. The military said it was targeting underground rocket-launching sites.
One missile hit the Interior Ministry, a symbol of Hamas power.
The fighting has already widened the instability gripping a region in the throes of war and regime upheavals. Most immediately, it is straining already frayed relations with Egypt, which plans to send its prime minister to Gaza later Friday in a show of solidarity with its militant Hamas rulers.
Israel and Hamas had largely observed an informal truce since Israel's devastating incursion into Gaza four years ago, but rocket fire and Israeli airstrikes on militant operations didn't halt entirely. The latest flare-up exploded into major violence Wednesday when Israel assassinated Hamas' military chief, following up with a punishing air assault meant to cripple the militants' ability to terrorize Israel with rockets.
The Israeli military reported early Friday that its aircraft had struck more than 350 targets since the beginning of its operation against Hamas' rocket operations.
On Thursday, Israeli warplanes struck dozens of Hamas-linked targets, sending loud booms echoing across the narrow Mediterranean coastal strip at regular intervals, followed by gray columns of smoke. After nightfall, several explosions shook Gaza City several minutes apart, a sign the strikes were not letting up. The military said the targets were about 70 underground rocket-launching sites.
The onslaught has not deterred the militants from striking back with more than 400 rockets aimed at southern Israel. For the first time, they also unleashed the most powerful weapons in their arsenal — Iranian-made Fajr-5 rockets capable of reaching Tel Aviv.
The two rockets that struck closest to Tel Aviv appear to have landed in the Mediterranean Sea, defense officials said, and another hit an open area on Tel Aviv's southern outskirts.
No injuries were reported, but the rocket fire — the first in the area from Gaza — sowed panic in Tel Aviv and made the prospect of a ground incursion more likely. The government later approved the mobilization of up to 30,000 reservists for a possible invasion.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the army was hitting Hamas hard with what he called surgical strikes, and warned of a "significant widening" of the Gaza operation. Israel will "continue to take whatever action is necessary to defend our people," said Netanyahu, who is up for re-election in January.
At least 12 trucks were seen transporting tanks and armored personnel carriers toward Gaza late Thursday, and buses carrying soldiers headed toward the border area. Israeli TV stations said a Gaza operation was expected on Friday, though military officials said no decision had been made.
"We will continue the attacks and we will increase the attacks, and I believe we will obtain our objectives," said Lt. Gen. Benny Gantz, Israel's military chief.
An Israeli ground offensive could be costly to both sides. In the last Gaza war, Israel devastated large areas of the territory, setting back Hamas' fighting capabilities but also paying the price of increasing diplomatic isolation because of a civilian death toll numbering in the hundreds.
The current round of fighting is reminiscent of the first days of that three-week offensive against Hamas. Israel also caught Hamas off-guard then with a barrage of missile strikes and threatened to follow up with a ground offensive.
However, much has also changed since then.
Israel has improved its missile defense systems, but is facing a more heavily armed Hamas. Israel estimates militants possess 12,000 rockets, including more sophisticated weapons from Iran and from Libyan stockpiles plundered after the fall of Moammar Gadhafi's regime there last year.
Netanyahu, who has clashed even with his allies over the deadlock in Mideast peace efforts, appears to have less diplomatic leeway than his predecessor, Ehud Olmert, making a lengthy military offensive harder to sustain.
What's more, regional alignments have changed dramatically since the last Gaza war. Hamas has emerged from its political isolation as its parent movement, the region-wide Muslim Brotherhood, rose to power in several countries in the wake of last year's Arab uprisings, particularly in Egypt.
Egypt recalled its ambassador to protest the Israeli offensive and has ordered his prime minister to lead a senior delegation to Gaza on Friday in a show of support for Hamas.
At the same time, while relations with Israel have cooled since the toppling of longtime Egyptian leader Hosni Mubarak, Morsi has not brought a radical change in Egypt's policy toward Israel. He has promised to abide by Egypt's 1979 peace deal with Israel and his government has continued contacts with Israel through its non-Brotherhood members.
Laub reported from Gaza City, Gaza Strip.

Mitt Romney is accusing the White House of apologizing to the mob that attacked the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya. Anderson Cooper is Keeping Them Honest.
I,hope that Anderson and other real reporters feet an obligation to get to the bottom of the killings in lybia and report how this admin policies have made our relations in the mid east deteriorate. A movie? Really? What will be the next excuse? How many controversial movies on other religions have been made and it's not used as an excuse to kill americancs
I think President Obama and Hillary Clinton should thank their lucky star's that there was a two month old video to blame for these 9/11/12 attacks,instead of the truth which was the lack of beefed up secuirty to protect our embassy's seeing how it was 9/11.
In using this video as a cover they also gave the terrorist's and excuse to blame us for the attack, and another another reason for muslims to hate us. Most of the world and our homeland were, on high alert because it was 9/11 It is obvious by the outcome of these attacks,the blame lies squarely with Presiden Obamas misunderstanding of terrorist, and his lack of leardership in the Middle East.
In addition I want to commend Hillary for the warm send off to those killed in the attacks on 9/11/12 American's. But this attack is about as much to do with that video than the man in the moon. The media needs to do it's job this bias is worse than the muck raking.
I cannot understand why we are not confronting this individual who made this movie, He has lot to answer for.Freedom of speech dosen't mean that you can cause chaos and insult other people's beliefs. I blame this moron for dangering American lifes. Badly done.
I'm feeling that the Romney comments are being used (brilliantly) by the White House and the media to deflect attention
from the fact that the president has not been attending daily security briefings. With tensions in the middle east
at a critical junction, and the president himself stating that we are still under threat, why is he not taking the time
to read these briefings? It seems a very cavalier approach to national security.
Instead of more chatter about what and when Romney made his comments, why isn't the media asking the
White House......why was the Libyan ambassador missing for 8 hrs. during the seige and why wasn't the president
informed at that time.
Why is it that no one asked Romney why he believes that Ambassadors only represent the President when in fact they are confirmed by the Senate, Congress, and the President. Ambassadors represent America, which is why they have to be confirmed by all of our elected officials. They are the voice of our government abroad including Romney's running mate Congressman Paul Ryan.
If Romney doesn't even know how Ambassadors acquire their position or who they represent, then how can he run a country?
The administration should cont. to reinforce the movie was dumb as rocks for the young people getting caught up in the protest for their God in Libya. What God is in their hearts to kill over such a stupid insulting movie ? Does their God say, tho shalt not kill ? This dumb movie is just being used as an excuse to protest against the US and kill of which appears to be planned and manipulated by the religious extremist.Don't get caught up in it and looks like they are.What kinda trouble do the kids get into missing school in Libya ? The movie is no excuse and Justice will be done.Obama is about to break bad and they better calm down.The Marines have arrived ! God Bless the USA ! Do they realize the movie is dumb as rocks ? Where is the Libya police department and the US has spent billions.Hillary get tougher and real ! Tell them like it is ! She's reinforcing the movie is no excuse for such violence but being ever so politically correct with every word she says. Guess that's what she has to do. What do you think she really wants to say ?
As a Presidential hopeful (in less than2 months!) Romney has an obligation to make a formal statement to let the American people know where he stands on the mid-east matters, to demonstrate his ability to lead the American people...and to explain how he might lead us differently while in office. The timing of his comments are irrelevant... We have been at war with extremists for many years.
the present "government" of the US supported overthrowing the otherwise stablizing government that hasd been in the middle east and northern africa, in favor of what? Now we are seeing just what is in store for the wold, as when third world countries with undereducated populaces and unemployed masses, whom are easily led out of bordom or wqhat ever else, will surely be a menace from now on. Those despots kept tribal groups held together by whatever means needed, eventhough we may have not agreed, those nations where more stable then, compared to now. Visitors in those coutries have NO RIGHTS even if they are diplomats, because those countries laws are not like ours. I suggest that in those countries, the US cut all aid to the governments and see how fast those leaders change their ways. in fact the US needs to re-evaluate all foreign aid and send grain when grain is needed and stop all monetary aid for 2-3 months. Let us see how many of those allies are true. When the middle eastern nations are selling oil at record prices, do they really need our money ? continue aid but not monetary aid only. for the US is supporting those who are in charge of the very countries that are threats to all of the unbeleivers.
May sound crazy, but when I heard Romney's comment the 1st thought I had was, did he and/or the Koch brothers produce the anti-muslim movie; after all, his comment preceeded embassy attack.
Vice-president Biden said that the people responsible for the murder of Ambassador Stevens would be punished. I hope that includes the person who made the film. Just as you can't shout "fire" in a crowded theater, you can't make incindiary speech. When 'Sam Bacile' published his film on the internet, he knew, or should have known, that it would incite violence. That makes him criminally responsible for the death of Chris Stevens. Religion should be no shelter for hate speech – we condemn Muslims who engage in it, so let us lead by example and prosecute this man to the fullest extent of the law.
Probably the government is already doing this, but I think media investigators should be looking to find out what individuals or groups were behind the making of the offensive film which obviously was meant to incite hatred and violence. It costs a lot to make a two hour movie with eighty actors, so the guy must have had someone with money behind him. If he is an American-Israeli who hates Muslims then he probably is a Conservative. Also, I read on another site that he was supported by that crazy pastor from Florida who also caused violence when he burnt the Quran. He was a far right radical. Now I am not making any accusations, but if there were individuals behind this whole thing who wanted to create unrest and violence in the region then they should be rooted out and exposed for the cowards and criminals that they are. They have the weight of the deaths of four innocent American citizens on their shoulders. They need to be held accountable. I hope the truth comes out.

The concept of retinal implants evokes fantastical concepts such as Deus Ex-like heads-up displays. Before we get there, though, we'd like to be able to give sight to those who are blind or losing their vision. Existing technology provides only limited improvements to vision, such as allowing people to see spots of light or edges with high contrast. To put that in numbers, we can improve someone's vision to about 20/1,400; the legal definition for blindness is 20/200.
Retinal implants work by directly stimulating cells in the back of the eye with electrical signals, which get transmitted as visual information to the brain. This works because in many cases of blindness, diseases damage the photoreceptor cells but leave the ganglion cells, the neurons that transmit signals to the brain, intact.
Recent research efforts focused on improving the resolution of the device stimulating the retinal cells. However, higher resolution images can only help so much if the signal doesn't match the patterns that the retinal neurons expect.
In other words, it's a bit like we've been connecting component video cables to an HDMI port, and wondering why the Xbox signal won't show up properly on our TV.
In order to solve this problem, Sheila Nirenberg and Chethan Pandarinath of Cornell University developed a new optical prosthetic system that consists of two parts that mimic the functionality of an actual retina. An encoder takes visual information and transforms it into the form needed by the ganglion cells. This functions much like a compiler, converting human-readable source code into machine code needed by the computer. In a healthy retina, this transformation ("visual phototransduction") is performed by the photoreceptor cells—the rods and cones. The second component is the transducer, which takes the signal from the encoder—now in the proper pattern—and stimulates the ganglion cells, in effect executing the code.
To actually create this optical implant, the authors created a system with three components. An encoder took images as input, converted them into coded electrical pulses which were fed into a minidigital light projector (mini-DLP). This, in turn, sent light pulses to the back of the retina. To make sure there's something there to detect the light, they expressed a light-sensitive protein, channelrhodopsin–2 (ChR2), that activated the ganglion cells in response to light. In effect, they created a new psuedoretina inside the eye to replace the damaged retina.
How did they know that their system was producing the correct retinal code? By hooking up electrodes to the ganglion cells in a mouse retina and playing movies with scenes such as landscapes, faces, and people walking. (Sounds pleasant, no?)
The authors used this setup to compare the activity between a normal retina, a blind retina with the new optical implant, and a blind retina with a standard implant (meaning no encoder). While the new device doesn't perfectly replicate the activity of a normal retina, the improvement over a traditional implant is noticeable.
In another test, they tracked the eye movement of blind mice by sending signals straight to the transducer. Without any visual stimulus, the eyes of blind mice (like humans) drift around. When stimulated using uncoded signals (effectively standard implants work), the same drifting occurred. When the visual signals were coded, the eyes tracked the stimulus.
This development has the potential to transform optical implants into useful, sight-restoring technology. Obviously, further research is needed, particularly in the area of delivering the ChR2 protein to ganglion cells in human retina, but groups (including the current team) have already done this safely using viral vectors. The new component of this system, the encoder and mini-DLP device, could be placed on a pair of glasses and connected to existing stimulators.

Lichen Simplex Chronicus
Our team of professionals and staff believe that informed patients are better equipped to make decisions regarding their health and well-being. For your personal use, we have created an extensive patient library covering an array of educational topics, which can be found on the side of each page. Browse through these diagnoses and treatments to learn more about topics of interest to you.
As always, you can contact our office to answer any questions or concerns.
Also known as neurodermatitis or scratch dermatitis, this condition is caused by a chronic cycle of scratching and itching an area of skin that becomes rough or leathery. While it is not dangerous, Lichen Simplex Chronicus can be a difficult cycle to break because of the severity of the itchiness. It can occur anywhere on the skin, but is most commonly found on the ankles, neck, wrist, forearms, thighs, lower leg, behind the knee or on the inner elbow. It may also be associated with other skin conditions, such as dry skin, eczema or psoriasis.
Lichen Simplex Chronicus occurs more frequently among women than men and generally appears in people between the ages of 30 and 50. If you are unable to break a scratch and itch cycle somewhere on your skin or if the skin becomes painful, contact your dermatologist. Persistent scratching can lead to bacterial infection. The doctor may prescribe oral corticosteroids and antihistamines to reduce the inflammation and relieve the itching. In some cases, antidepressant or anti-anxiety medications provide relief to sufferers. If scratching does lead to an infection, your dermatologist will likely prescribe an oral or topical antibiotic.
Some patients gain relief from the itching by applying a moisturizing lotion and covering the area with a wet dressing. Moisture helps the skin absorb the lotion. Peeling ointments containing salycylic acid may also be recommended to soften rough skin.

Ghost Town Detroit
This is a post on demographics inspired by a conversation I had earlier today.
Detroit was, in its heyday just after World War II, when the US auto industry was literally firing on all cylinders, the fourth largest in the U.S., Its population was 1.85 million in 1950. Today, fewer than half that number reside in the city.
Detroit is a ghost town.
This was brought home to me this morning when a friend told me of his work to help sell off shuttered Detroit schools. He said they had already sold off some 30-odd schools, with many more planned. The fact is Detroit doesn't have the student population to support all the schools it has. And the city is losing massive amounts of money as a result.
On December 8, 2008, State Superintendent of Public Instruction Mike Flanagan said that the district's inability to manage its finances was crippling the students' learning environment, and declared a financial emergency. Michigan Governor Jennifer Granholm appointed Robert Bobb as the fiscal manager of Detroit Public Schools in 2009 to manage the school districts finances… The school district began selling 27 previously closed school buildings. On 3 March 2009, Bobb initially estimated that DPS's current year deficit would be no less than $150M…To begin to erase this deficit, the district put twenty nine vacant buildings up for sale in early 2009.
Detroit Public Schools is also burdened with a shrinking population of students. Between the years of 2002 and 2008, the number of enrolled students dropped from 157,003 to 94,054, a 64,929 person decrease… Detroit Public Schools had a goal of closing 95 schools by 2009.
The indications of decay are everywhere. Read my post "That's what happens when a town full of broke people gets a whiff of free money" and you will get a sense of what has happened there and how much worse the recession has made it.
Now, it's not as if the Detroit Metropolitan Area is shrunken. There are still 4.5 million people there. The larger CSA has 5.5 million, ranking 11th in the US. But, Detroit, the city itself, is being abandoned. "Black Flight is the New Worry for Detroit" writes the Wall Street Journal. As a result, abandoned property is everywhere, both residential and commercial. The Guardian writes "Detroit homes sell for $1 amid mortgage and car industry crisis" and The Detroit News wrote "Detroit to purchase old MGM Grand casino for new police HQ" .
Even Mitt Romney's childhood home, where his parents lived from 1941 to 1953 is a blight on the community and being torn down. And his father was both chairman of AMC and Governor of the state at one time.
(video below)
All I'm saying is this is what depression looks like. When you get away from all the numbers and statistics, there are real communities, real lives and real people who are being affected by this. While I usually write about the numbers, I haven't lost sight of the people because that's what this is all about.

Biology and nanotechnology are moving ever closer together. Ars recently wrote about the use of nanoparticles to aid delivery of stem cells in cardiac therapy. Now, Swiss researchers have developed nanoparticles that can detect, and one day could combat, viruses.
When viruses enter the human body, the immune system responds to their presence. This triggers a sophisticated chain of events that leads to production of antibodies specific to the virus. Depending on the swiftness and effectiveness of the response, there are usually three possibilities: viruses are eliminated before they cause damage, they are eliminated after the person suffers a bout of sickness, or, in the worst case scenario, the virus spreads uncontrolled.
One option for combating viral infections is to develop "artificial" antibodies. These antibodies can have two uses: they can be used to detect infections and, if produced at large enough scale, they can be used to combat infections.
That's what Patrick Shahgaldian and his colleagues at the University of Applied Sciences and Arts Northwestern Switzerland have been working on. Their solution is relatively simple. Find the virus that causes infection; imprint copies of it on a nanoparticle; then use this "mold" to trap the virus.
There are several steps to creating the imprinted nanoparticle. Step one involves sticking the virus on a silica nanoparticle (SNP) using binding chemicals. (Just to be clear, these binding chemicals are too toxic to be used in the body.) In step two, the SNP is coated with a layer of polymer (organosiloxane). Next, the "virus imprinted particle" (VIP) is subjected to ultrasound which dislodges the virus.
After optimizing the thickness of the polymer layer, Shahgaldian and his team tested these VIPs in a virus-infected solution of human blood serum. After 30 minutes of exposure to the VIPs, they found that they were able to trap up to 88 percent of all viruses even at very low (65 picomolar, or 10^-12) concentration. Their effectiveness in clearing a virus-containing water solution was even higher.
According to Shahgaldian, these VIPs will be first used as a diagnostic tool—expose humans to a small amount of VIPs, and then find out if any of them contain trapped viruses. Of course, clinical trials will be needed to find out if it is safe to inject so many nanoparticles at once.
The next step, says Shahgaldian, is to use VIPs for therapy. But that will require additional developments, like mass manufacturing of these nanoparticles. If it were to be used to fight a new strain of virus, like the coronavirus that's making many nervous, then a method that will produce these artificial antibodies quickly and at a large scale will be needed.

Mud Slide Chocolate Cake with Coffee and Kahlua
From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...It's not the best cake I've ever tasted. It's not the easiest cake I've ever made. That being said, this cake has a lot going for it. It's intensely chocolate with a flavor that's enhanced with coffee and kahlua and, while not simple, it's relatively easy to make. It also wins extra points because it's easy for lovers of picnics and potlucks to transport. This rich cake received it name because of its dark color and the way the glaze runs down the side of the cake as it's poured or painted on. If you decide to make this, use the best quality chocolate available to you. Nothing miraculous will happen in the oven to improve the flavor of inferior ingredients. A good brandy can be used to replace the Kahlua. The finished cake is a moist, chocolate marvel that will stay fresh for days after it's made. It can be made in 15 minutes , but it bakes longer than most and takes a while to cool, so plan accordingly. I like it best a day after it's been made. Here's the recipe.
Mud Slide Chocolate Cake with Coffee and Kahlua...from the kitchen of One Perfect Bite
2 cups unbleached flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1-3/4 cup strongly brewed coffee
1/4 cup Kahlua or brandy
5 ounces unsweetened chocolate
1 cup (2 sticks) butter
2 cups granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional Glaze:
3 ounces semisweet chocolate
2 tablespoons strongly brewed coffee
1) Preheat oven to 275 degrees F. This is not an error. This cake bakes at a very low temperature. Butter a 10-inch Bundt pan and dust sides and bottom with cocoa. Set aside.
2) Sift together flour, sugar and salt. Set aside.
3) Place coffee and liqueur in a medium sauce pan set over medium heat. Heat for 5 minutes. Add chocolate and butter, stirring until melted and smooth. Add sugar and stir until dissolved. Remove from heat and allow to cool for several minutes.
4) Transfer chocolate mixture to a large bowl. Using an electric mixer, add flour mixture in two parts, beating after each addition until smooth. Add eggs and vanilla and beat for 1 minute more. Pour into prepared Bundt pan.
5) Bake in middle third of oven for 1-1/2 hours, or until cake pulls away from sides of pan and springs back when middle is touched. Allow cake to cool in pan for 10 minutes. Invert cake onto a platter, but do not remove pan until cake is completely cool.
6) In a small saucepan set over low heat, melt chocolate and coffee. Brush on surface of cooled cake. Yield: 12 servings.

These are wonderful combinations! I make an icing for pound cake every Christmas that is similar to this...
Butter, kahlua, coffee, unsweetened morsels, egg yolks...it is wonderful with pound cake and raspberry sauce!mmmm.
I cut the pound cake (loaf size...like Sara Lee) into a bottom, middle and top section long ways and ice all the layers about a centimeter and then ice the whole top and sides, everything...its like fudge. I refrigerate it so it gets firm and then it makes the most beautiful slices...we call it Chocolate brick cake and thankfully I am the only one who likes it at my house :D so I get to eat the entire cake. ha.
I adore chocolate. Thank you for sharing this.

Dear Mary
I really would like to thank u so much for being so generous and kind to share this wonder Mud Slide Chocolate cake with coffee. I have enjoyed every bite of it altho I did not add Kahlua at all as I do not know what it is.
Secondly I also tried your Orange Yogurt cake in which I substituted with lemon since I like lemon more. And Lo & behold it was a unique cake as it was crisp on the outside. I was all excited to share it with my colleague but they could not savour the crispness since it was kept overnight. Here I wonder whether u have the knowledge how to preserve its crispness.
Once again, thank u so much for being such a blessings in sharing good recipes that people from this part of the world can get a chance to enjoy it with you.
God bless u dear Mary !
With blessings

Fox's Gang Related Shows the Bad Side of Good Guys and the Heroic Side of Villains
Fox's upcoming drama Gang Related is out to break down stereotypes.
The series, from the Fast and the Furious franchise scribe Chris Morgan, follows members of the Los Angeles Police Department's elite gang task force as they take on the area's most dangerous gangs. The Wire'sRamon Rodriguez stars in the ensemble as Ryan Lopez, a cop who has risen in the ranks without his team knowing that he's also strongly tied to one of the city's toughest gang led by Javier Acosta (Cliff Curtis). With the clan he's grown up with on one side and his police squad on the other, Ryan constantly finds himself torn between what's right and wrong and where he ultimately belongs.
Fox sets premieres for 24: Live Another Day, Gang Related, Surviving Jack
"[We thought], 'What if we pick him up where he's been one thing his entire life and now has this new family?'" Morgan told reporters Mondayat Fox's Television Critics Association winter previews for the show. "With Ryan, we have a chance to show the gray side to everything. Every hero has a dark side and every villain has a heroic side." Added Rodriguez, "My character hopes there is an endgame [to this], but sees it's not that easy. There are challenges with trying to get out [of the gang] or the task force trying to take down his family and while in the beginning he thought this was a great way to get the family out, things get complicated."
But this isn't just about the guys on the right side of justice; the show also shows the complex - and not always evil - inner workings of the gangs. Terry O'Quinn admitted that his character Sam, the task force's leader, is a terrible father, while Curtis said that Javier may have been a bad man, but an excellent dad and a great leader. Similarly, Jay Hernandez, who plays Javier's son Daniel, added, "It's about humanity. It's not a black and white world; it's a gray world we live in. Trying to make it honest and interesting and layered was important."
Get all the scoop from Fox's TCA day
The show prides itself on its very diverse cast and staff. "We have three African-American writers, three Latino writers," Morgan said, before adding, "And it's not just diverse by ethnicity... I thought about what everyone is good at. We wanted the actors to not feel like they were being written by someone who didn't have any sense or understanding of the world."
As for Curtis, who hails from New Zealand, playing a Latino, Morgan defended the choice. "As long as I'm working, I'm going to give [the role] to the best actor and everyone on this stage were the best for the role. For Cliff's part, we looked at a lot of Latino actors and cast some of them on different roles. Ultimately knowing that Javier next to Ramon is the anchor of this family, we needed a force of nature and he was, in our humble opinion, the person we felt would be the best."
Morgan also made it clear that the gangs, which will include a Caucasian group, will be true to their respective identities and stand out on their own. "One of the things we always discussed is that there is a very Game of Thrones element to our show where we have territories and the politics are very specific and very different," he said. "We want to make them feel that they're their own kingdoms all jockeying for position."

Gang Related premieres Tuesday, May 20 at 9/8c on Fox.
