Its a bit different that his other ones and I think takes a bit of getting used to as at the first read I was a bit miffed and thought it was a bit strange for young children.

Advantages: Refreshing, tastes lovely ice cold, cheap Disadvantages: Not the same as my favourite blue lagoon mix
...I enjoy a drink in the evening after putting my daughter to bed. I don't go out often and this is the next best thing. Nothing better than sitting down with a drink and rubbish tv or a film. Blue lagoon is my cocktail of choice when I do manage to get a night out and when I spotted this in my local Asda I decided to give it a try.

About the business…
I have always been intrigued by the art of memory-making and the significance of passing those memories along, so when I first stumbled into this crazy, wonderful industry, I knew that wedding photography was a natural fit for me. Since graduating in 2007 from Emily Carr University in Vancouver with a Bachelor of Fine Arts and a Photography major, I've been cultivating my craft as a full-time wedding photographer and have become passionate about producing fine art from the memories we hold most dear.
One of my greatest joys in this business is providing couples with a photographic experience that enables them to express their love for one another freely and naturally in front of the camera, even if that's during their whirlwind of a wedding day. I realize that moments pass by quickly and work hard to ensure that everything from the biggest moments to the most intimate details are documented artistically, yet faithfully.
Once a wedding day or a photo session has ended, I strive to provide couples with tangible, artistic pieces that not only document their memories, but preserve them as heirlooms to cherish and pass down. There is nothing quite like the feel and fragility of a fine art print, or the weight and texture of a handcrafted album and through these pieces, I hope to ensure that my clients and their loved ones will have access to their photographs for generations to come.
About me…
I am equal parts nomad and homebody—I thrive on travel and adventure, but there's nothing like returning from life on the road and cozying up with my husband, a good book, and my favourite comfort food!
My husband Will and I reside in Livermore, California, but when asked where we're from, the story gets complicated. Will was born and raised in Mississippi while I grew up in British Columbia. We met in 2007 at a wedding (go figure!) in Mississippi where he was playing the bagpipes and I was shooting the wedding. After a couple years of long distance, mountains of immigration paperwork, and wedding receptions on two sides of the continent, this West Coast girl and Deep South boy were blessed to start our own home together in Northern California.
There are so many great things about living in our little patch of California. I love the proximity to Yosemite, Carmel, San Francisco and Sonoma–it's so wild to me that these iconic places are within a couple hours' drive from home! I've truly enjoyed the abundance and plenty of organic foods, farmer's markets, and the general practice of eating locally and seasonally. The climate is incredibly accommodating as well and I still can't get over being able to wear flip flops at any time of year! We've also been blessed to have found incredible friends and a great church. And did I mention that there are 40+ wineries only a few miles from our doorstep. The kicker though–three international airports within a 45-minute drive from home–what more could a girl ask for!!!

Causes of Structural Damage:
Airtightness is a Precondition to avoid
Problems of Air Leakages
The most common reason (over 95%) of mould growth and rot within structural timber is caused by convection (air flow) as a result of air leakages. The air which penetrates into construction transports moisture into the insulation which, results in condensation when cooling down.
Up to 5g/m2 (64grain/square yard) of moisture pass through a correctly installed internal vapor/vapour retarder with a sd-value (mvtr, permeance) of 2.3m (11.5MNs/g, 1.43 US perms) and into the insulation system per day. By comparison, 800g/m2 (10,226grain/square yard) of moisture can penetrate the thermal insulating material through a 1mm wide and 1m long gap in the vapor/vapour retarder.
This means: Performance down by factor 160.*
Development of Moisture Traps
The use of an impermeable vapour barrier e. g. polyethylene films reduces the diffusion of moisture into the insulation system, but this also means that the ability to dry out the insulation system is greatly diminished.
In constructions with a diffusion-tight sub-roof, flexible metal sheet, flat- or greenroof, moisture that has penetrated cannot evaporate away by passing through to the outside or to the inside. Instead the impermeable layers actually become moisture traps. This results in a considerable decrease in the safety potential of the insulation system.
The Answer to the Problem
The optimum solution to airtightness is a vapor/vapour retarder with a diffusion permeability that varies with the humidity conditions, i. e. permits lower permeability in cold winter conditions and higher permeability in warm summer conditions. In wintertime it reduces moisture ingress into the insulation system and in summertime it provides the right conditions for drying-out.
To Put it into Figures
The diffusion permeability of an intelligent vapor/vapour retarder like pro clima INTELLO® is high in summer conditions and low in winter conditions.
This offers optimum safety for the insulation system even if there is an unexpected increase in moisture.
The difference between the quantity of condensation and quantity of evaporation (calculated with WUFI 4.0 pro) is only 10g/m2 (128grain/square yard) in a period of one year when using a vapor/vapour barrier with an sd-value (mvtr, permeability) of 50m (250MNs/g, 0.07 perms). By contrast when a pro clima INTELLO® vapor/vapour retarder is used, the relevant figure is 4000g/m2 (51,333grain/square yard) - almost 400 times as much.**
The pro clima Security Formula:
Drying Capacity > Moisture Stress => Freedom from Structural Damage
The greater a structural system`s reserves for drying out, the greater the unanticipated moisture stress it can balance and keeping the structure free from structural damage.
*This applies to central-European region or comparable temperate zones.
**Calculation applies to Munich, Southern Germany.

Here's Prince William's bride-to-be Kate Middleton (left) and her younger sister Pippa Middleton (right).
Question is ...
now how do you think this survey is going to come out? Shame on you for even putting this up. You could have had a story with out the slam.
TMZ - on questions like these you need to add "neither or non of the above" depending on the number of how'd u rather
The poll for this is f-ed up. True, but still f-ed up....Damn, her sister looks like a "prettier" version of Susan Boyle.
I think Kate is gorgeous but she looks 10 years older than William. Or maybe I'm thinking she looks 10 years more mature. Heck, I don't know, she just doesn't really look her age, imo.
the sister pippa needs to invest in eyebrow pluckers and have some bangs also for her very high forehead and she could resemble a young paulina porizkova. but those bushes are too much and with her face it's not balance with that high forehead.
If you think these two r odd looking wait til u see the brother. They look like mix race blacks or other very odd.
The reason Kate looks older is because she is way too skinny. I'm skinny too but not that skinny. That is WAY WAY too skinny. That and Kate probably tans a lot. And I wouldn't be surprised if she smoked in private. That'll do it.

News & Events
Posted on October 19, 2012The CPLE Summer Conference 2012!
A Measure of Justice: Forging Partnerships for Ensuring Equity
August 23 - 25, 2012
DOJ/Georgetown Law School
Washington DC
This summer, the Consortium for Police Leadership in Equity held its second summer conference: "A Measure of Justice: Forging Partnerships for Ensuring Equity".
The conference build upon the success of our 2010 conference, which was the largest convening of researchers, law enforcement, policy makers, and community advocates devoted to advancing equity in law enforcement. This year, we focused on the issues surrounding data collection and analyses, and we examined the ways in which empirical research can inform best practices in policing.
Conference participants included 33 law enforcement executives from major cities in the US and Canada, 21 leading social scientists specializing in the science of contemporary bias, numerous representatives from federal agencies including the Department of Justice, Community Oriented Policing Office and Office of Justice Programs, and community advocacy group executives. The conference provided law enforcement executives and researchers with a safe space and time to discuss equity in law enforcement in-depth and in a truly collaborative environment.
Public panel discussions focusing on federal agency perspectives and community concerns were also held to ensure that the agenda we craft will be informed by all stakeholders, including funders, advocates, and consumers of this research.
The CPLE 2012 Summer Conference was held with the support of the Department of Justice, Georgetown University Law School, Atlantic Philanthropies, the Russell Sage Foundation, Kellogg Foundation, and the University of California, Los Angeles.

Even the most dedicated dieters find it challenging to stick to their guns and monitor their intact when it comes to holiday food christmas meals. Beginning on Thanksgiving Day and not letting up until News Years Eve; a deluge of calories will cross the plates of even the most health conscious. You can't escape it: at the office, at the home of our in-laws, on street corners. Food is everywhere. And because we humans tend to consider the holidays as a once-a-year occasion, we give in to our worst temptations and start shoveling down the holiday food Christmas meals and snacks like there's no end in sight.
If there's a positive side to this, it's that research shows that holiday weight-gain tends to level off at between 10 -11 pounds. So at least over-eaters know what their dealing with. But like any binge habit, moderation is the key. And although this is often easier said than done, a person can make it through the holidays with their waistline intact!
Fortunately, the same sensible eating habits that apply throughout the year can be followed during the holidays when you're putting the final touches on various Christmas menus:
1. Fruits and vegetables should be prime ingredients for any holiday food Christmas meal. So load up when you hit the grocery store to ensure you have plenty on hand for snacking.
2. Keep to a regular eating schedule. That means continue eating breakfast. When you skip a meal it makes you hungrier later in the day and that means overeating of food christmas snacks and goodies.
3. When you go to a party, try to seek out the healthy food choices. And keep your distance from cookies and any other sweet items on the christmas menus.
4. If you find yourself staring at a plate full of turkey or chicken, take off the skin. That is the part with the most fat and calories.
5. Drink more water. Water flushes your system of toxins that are ever-present in holiday food Christmas meals. Nutritionists recommend 6 - 8 glasses a day.
6. Cut down on the alcohol. No one likes a drunk Santa Claus or elf. .
7. If you go to a party, try eating ahead of time. You're likely to eat less when you get to the actual party.
The best advice however, involves exercise. Regardless of the amount of food christmas snacks and sweets you ingest during the holidays, if you try to include some exercise during your daily routine you'll be much better off. This may be going to a gym if you live in an area that is being pounded with snow. At the very least, on good-weather days, try to go for a 30 minute walk. The trick - say the nutritionist's - is to keep your metabolism going.
One of the by-products of staying physically healthy is that it reduces a person's level of stress. And if there's one period of the year that conducive to more stress it's the holiday season. Bad enough with the chaos of visitors, parties, shopping and spending. Add food Christmas meals and calories to the mix and you can easily overload. All the more reason to slow down and try to include some aerobic activity in your daily agenda.
The holiday season should be a time of happiness and joy. Add to the celebration by watching your food in-take. Happy holidays!

Thread: Will the Colts go 0-16?
Their playoff seed IS locked up, but we need the steelers and niners to win the games that aren't against the rams and to lose against the rams. That will help the rams get a stronger strength of schedule. Niners will likely be fighting for a first round bye though, unless the Saints already locked it up, not sure about that.
I am NOT here to provide good football insight or rational observations. I am an emotional 19 year old Viking fan and I expect you to adjust your expectations from my posts.
[QUOTE=midgensa;1117211]Absolutely not a worse fan for that. The difference in you and me is that you are discussing trading Luck.
If the Colts go out and beat the Jags (which they just might because I think their veterans are playing for Manning to make sure there is no discussion) then we do likely win the tiebreaker with the Rams, which means I want us to lose out. I want that top pick. But I DO NOT want to trade it.
I WANT ANDREW LUCK in Minnesota. If that means Ponder is our backup ... fine. If it means we trade Ponder for a second-round pick ... fine. Hell, if it means we trade Ponder for a third-round pick ... fine.
If a team like us has a shot at Andrew Luck and we pass, we will continually hang our heads about it for the next 25 years.[/QUOTE]
Like the Hershel Walker trade?I bet you could use a cool one huh Clark...Now you're talkin Eddie...
Good news boys! Charlie Batch was just named the starter for the Steelers against the Rams. That gives St Louis a chance of winning the game tomorrow.
Sorry Rick! Keep up the good work.

Prior to joining the automotive collision industry, I worked as an independent motorcycle appraiser. Be sure to understand, an appraiser, not an motorcycle insurance adjuster - huge difference. At any rate, most shops shy away from insurance work because of the stringent requirements placed on the shops to get the insurance business. I agree 100% with the previous responses, they are correct but, only scraping the top of the issue. I would be happy to give you more detail in conversation but, here are some basics:
1. Know the policies of the insurance companies you want to serve - critical key! insurance carriers have different criterian for coverage and what they will pay for repair. For example, some companies will only cover a certain (%) of aftermarket parts based on the current market (stock) value in current, regional market pricing. And, it also depends on the degree of coverage the motorcycle owner is paying for.
2. Make sure that you meet all shop and technical requirements of the insurance carrier. This has become a major issue for independent shops. You need certifications in a multitude of areas - not just brand certs, but, OSHA and EPA certs as well. While this has been somewhat minimized, no insurance company wants to be associated with a shop that isn't up to speed on the latest regulations for both safety and the environment. State how you will stay up on these types of training for techs and office staff. Also, demonstrate your shop's capabilities - do you have a painter that is skilled with various products? Do you have a certified engine tech on staff? Can you handle any problem based on the professional training/or certification of your staff? If so, what will you specifically do fo the insurance company?
3. Have a solid estimating system. As mentioned in a previous post, this is equally as important to win the business of an insurance company. Let's face it, you will push for top dollar and the insurance company is pushing for bottom dollar. Having a good estimating system will meet somewhere in the middle. Second, if you should go beyond the initial estimate, you have documented proof. Remember, repair orders and repair cycle times, labor and parts cost are some of the areas that insurance companies focus on.
4, Have a solid business plan for each insurance company. Present a business plan that clearly conveys how your shop will meet or exceed the expectations of the insurance company and their customers. Reveal you abilitiy to get parts, technical training for staff, OHSA and EPA policies for a safe work environment, repair cycle time processes, customer management systems and CSI (customer satisfaction index) goals.
5. Know your market. Don't go to an insurance company with just a good idea...go with an compelling arugement with facts and data to prove that your are the shop of choice for your region.
6. Offer unique value propositions. Are you the only shop in town willing to go through the necessary requirements to win their business? How are you competing with your competition - faster repair cycles, more parts offerings?, Do you have strong customer life cycles? Do you have a deep history with your customer base? When insurance companies see your committment, your willingness to comply, it will open the door for meaningful talks with them.
7. Know your insurance adjusters. In settlement cases, I have crushed adjusters just because they don't really know anything about motorcycles - specifically custom bikes. They have been trained to deal with stock bikes with some insight into typical aftermarket parts - that are documented and appraised. But, more often than not, you will get bikes that are off the charts; custom paint, engine mods, custom frames and tins, to name a few. Make your decision early on as to whether or not you want to venture into that world. As a former appraiser, I haven't lost a case but, it is really dicey.
Well, two cents for my thoughts, if you want more insight or what to talk more - seed me a note and we will connect.

This invention describes cosmetic compositions containing at least one carboxylic anionic surfactant and at least one vinylformamide/vinylformamine copolymer. According to the patent, in rinse-out hair compositions, such as shampoos or hair conditioners, water-soluble synthetic cationic polymers, which have been known to give hair good cosmeticity, are often used; however, these polymers provide no hair shaping effect. This is likewise the case for cationic, nature-derived polymers such as modified guar gums, which may also provide a cosmetic nature without allowing hair shaping. In the field of rinse-out compositions, polymers may not provide sufficient hair styling associated with an acceptable cosmeticity. Thus, one aspect of the present disclosure is to incorporate polymers that are capable of providing a real styling effects while at the same time maintaining acceptable cosmeticity.
Compositions containing benefit agent composites pre-emulsified using colloidal cationic particles
US Patent 7915214
Publication date: March 29, 2011
Assignee: Amcol International Corporation
This patent illustrates a cleansing or surface-conditioning composition comprising a mixture of A) and B) in water, wherein A) is a surfactant selected from the group consisting of anionic, non-ionic, zwitterionic, cationic, and mixtures thereof, and B) is a hydrophobic benefit agent in a particulate form having a mean particle size in the range of 1–1,000 microns, and a specific gravity of ≧1, not encapsulated within a film or a capsule-like enclosure. The particulate hydrophobic benefit agent comprises: a) a physically-modified form of the hydrophobic benefit agent, and b) a deposition-aid material bonded to the surface of the physically-modified benefit agent material, wherein the bonding between the two said materials is achieved prior to addition to A), and wherein said deposition-aid material is not a surfactant having a weight average molecular weight of less than 5,000 Dalton.
Unexpectedly, the inventors have found that the compositions disclosed show an extraordinarily high level of performance properties, namely hair-conditioning, fabric softening, and skin moisturizing, which is reportedly attributed to the specific additive form in which the benefit agents are incorporated into these compositions, and in particular to the composition of this additive-form.

The Solowheel uses gyro sensors, a 1000 Watt motor and a rechargeable battery to get you on your way.
To understand the physics behind the Solowheel, think about the last time you went ice skating. Your feet are relatively free to move over the slick surface of the ice. When you skate in a straight line on one foot, you can see your foot steer right and left to balance your body. This observation has been turned into a concept that has been transferred to the Solowheel to help you balance and steer with ease. How? With your feet low to the ground and your legs resting against the pads, your lower body acts as one unit, like skating on one skate.
The human foot has a small mass that is easier to rotate and manipulate independently of the body than the larger mass of the hip. Using your feet to steer and balance is much easier than using your hips which is what traditional unicycles draw on.
How to Use The Solowheel:
Simply put one foot on the platform and push off. Your other foot goes on the other platform. Lean forward to go forward and lean back to slow down and stop. Twist your feet left and right to balance and steer. The motion is similar to steering the front wheel of a bicycle.
Users can ride for approximately 10 miles, at 10 miles per hour, and the lithium-ion battery can be fully recharged in only one and a half hours. Like with hybrid cars, the Solowheel battery recaptures energy when going downhill or slowing down.
Be sure to watch the instructional videos for visual guidelines on learning to ride the Solowheel.
The Solowheel is environmentally-friendly: Use it to replace a car for short distances. This reduces gas costs, pollution, and traffic.
Hands free.
Can be used on different terrains.
The Solowheel is portable so that you can bring it into buildings, offices, malls, college campuses, parks, stadiums, skate parks and anywhere else personal electric vehicles are allowed.

We are very glad Moby has always liked the tree. More or less at different times, but he's always known it was His Tree. We were always prepared to use it as a bookshelf if he was going to be a Cat about it.
I have always pulled his tail, as an extension of petting his back, as a massage technique, gently but firmly, with affection. And he seems to enjoy it, circling around for me to stroke him repeatedly. If he'd ever objected to it, I would never have done it, but he seems to take it in good part. His happy place is right above his tail, and when I scritch there, he stands still with his tail straight up, sometimes his head seems to move down to rub the ground in pleasure of it's own accord, and I stretch his tail out and up, completing the caress.
This is not the same as pulling a cat's tail.

RECENTLY I ACQUIRED a new habit. Every day, I walk to the two-month-old Greenwich Village outpost of New York bakery Bien Cuit. I order whichever variety of viennoiserie appeals at that moment and a large cup of Harney & Sons Paris tea. That tea is the perfect complement to any flaky, buttery item I choose. Its black leaves are suffused with caramel, vanilla and an enigmatic citrus note, bergamot. Not quite lemony in flavor, this citrus is more delicate and nuanced, with distinct bitter and floral characteristics. The small yellow fruit is, however, often misdiagnosed as a lemon, in both senses of the word. First off, it's an orange; second, it's no dud. It just needs to be handled with care and know-how.
For a crash course in bergamot history, I turned to Kevin West of the blog and book "Saving the Season," to be published by Knopf in June. Citrus bergamia, as it's known in botanical circles, first showed up 300 years ago in Southern Italy, the result of crossbreeding a sour orange with "something else," variously identified as a citron, a lemon, a lime or a Palestine sweet lime. Mr. West likes that last option, though he doesn't have "an informed basis" for his opinion. "It's just what my nose tells me," he writes. Calabria remains the epicenter of production, and the cosmetics and tea industries are the primary customers. Extracted from the rind, the oil is blended into many perfumes and is a key ingredient in Earl Grey tea.
There are a handful of California citrus farms that grow the fruit—Mud Creek Ranch in Santa Paula, Pearson Ranch in Porterville, Rising C Ranches in Reedley, Hamada Farms in Kingsburg and Gene Lester's ranch in Watsonville. Blogger and jam maker Pim Techamuanvivit goes to the latter for her bergamots, and she turns them into marmalade. Ms. Techamuanvivit noted that the golden orb's flowery tendencies make it especially tricky to manipulate: "There's a line there between a lovely, floral marmalade and a syrupy mouthful of 4711 Eau de Toilette." One way to avoid a perfumey blast is to combine bergamot with a milder lemon, such as a Meyer, or another kind of orange (Valencia, Cara Cara). Ms. Techamuanvivit also recommended rinsing bergamots before using them, which helps to tame the intense acridity of the rind. The pits are equally bitter, so she removes those. "When done properly," she promised, "bergamot marmalade is a thing of beauty. It really is."
While her Chez Pim bergamot marmalade is already sold out for the season, fellow Bay Area jam makers June Taylor (junetaylorjams.com) and Rachel Saunders (bluechairfruit.com) have preserved the citrus of the moment in limited batches that are still available for purchase and certainly live up to Ms. Techamuanvivit's promise. And they aren't the only ones showcasing bergamot at its peak. In Los Gatos, Calif., David Kinch, chef-owner of Manresa restaurant, has flavored olive oil with bergamot and used it in a vinaigrette for grilled fish. He has also added the juice to Japanese-style dashi stock. At the Blue Bottle Coffee locations in San Francisco and Oakland, the current seasonal fruit buckle features none other than bergamot under its crumble topping. And, back at Bien Cuit in New York, baker and co-owner Zachary Golper has introduced an orange-bergamot tart with a delicate pastry shell lined in rosemary-chocolate ganache. "For me," he said of his pucker-inducing, herbaceous take on the classic chocolate-orange pairing, "the back-and-forth play of bergamot to rosemary is so nice and fitting in this weather." Outside the fruit's season, which runs December to February, Mr. Golper uses bergamot essential oil, an item readily found at most health food stores. After pouring a few drops into whatever you're making, you can always dab a little on your wrists, too.
—Charlotte DruckmanZachary Golper's Orange-Bergamot Custard Tart with Rosemary-Chocolate Ganache
Makes: One 9-inch tart
Mr. Golper, of the Bien Cuit bakeries in New York, simplified his recipe for home cooks so we, too, can knock the socks off our guests (and ourselves) with one of the most bewitching strains of citrus. If you want to simplify the recipe further, use a prebaked crust from the grocery store instead of making your own pâte sucrée.
For the ganache:
1 cup plus 3 tablespoons heavy cream
1 cup plus 1 tablespoon couverture chocolate
2 sprigs rosemary
3½ tablespoons butter
For the citrus custard:
½ cup whole milk
½ cup naval orange juice
Zest of 1 naval orange
¼ cup plus 1 teaspoon granulated white sugar
3 egg yolks
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon cornstarch, wheat starch or potato starch
1/3 cup heavy cream
4 drops bergamot essential oil
What To Do
1. Make ganache: Wash rosemary in cold water. In a small pan, heat cream to a simmer, then drop in rosemary. Remove pan from heat and allow to steep 4-5 minutes. Remove rosemary and discard. Reheat cream to almost boiling, then pour it over chocolate and let rest 3 minutes. Add butter and stir until mixture is fully combined and shiny.
2. Fill tart shell (see recipe below) 1/3 of the way up with ganache. Place tart shell in refrigerator and allow ganache to set, 1/2 hour.
3. Make citrus custard: Bring milk, juice, zest and half the sugar to a boil in a heavy bottomed saucepan. In a separate bowl combine yolks, cream, starch and remaining sugar and whisk together into a paste. Add boiled milk mixture to paste, little by little, stirring continually, until paste is too hot to touch. Pour it all back into the saucepan and stir continually on medium heat until mixture bubbles. Continue stirring as mixture bubbles 2-3 minutes more, making sure no part is left unstirred at bottom of pan.
4. Remove pot from heat. Add bergamot oil to pan and stir to combine. Pour custard over a baking pan. Place baking pan in refrigerator and let sit until custard cools, 1/2 hour.
5. Transfer cooled custard from baking pan to a bowl. Use a whisk to whip custard until it softens. Pour custard over the set ganache in the tart shell and fill to top of shell.
Pâte Sucrée
1½ cups pastry flour
7 Tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons softened butter
1 large egg
½ cup plus 1 tablespoon confectioner's sugar
½ teaspoon baking powder
Vanilla bean
½ teaspoon fine sea salt
1. Sift together dry ingredients. In a stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment, combine dry ingredients, vanilla and butter on low speed until mixture has a coarse, sandy texture. Add egg and mix until a dough forms. Wrap dough in plastic, flatten into a disk and place in refrigerator. Chill at least 1/2 hour or up to 6 days.
2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter or lightly spray with cooking spray a 9-inch tart pan with removable bottom. Roll chilled dough out to about 1/8-inch thick. Place dough in prepared tart pan, trim to fit and use a fork to prick bottom of unbaked tart shell all over. Place tart pan on a baking pan and bake until shell is golden, 12-16 minutes. Remove shell from tart pan while still warm to avoid cracking.

Capacity limits of information processing in the brain
Trends in Cognitive Sciences, Volume 9, Issue 6, 1 June 2005, Pages 296-305
René Marois and Jason Ivanoff
AbstractDespite the impressive complexity and processing power of the human brain, it is severely capacity limited. Behavioral research has highlighted three major bottlenecks of information processing that can cripple our ability to consciously perceive, hold in mind, and act upon the visual world, illustrated by the attentional blink (AB), visual short-term memory (VSTM), and psychological refractory period (PRP) phenomena, respectively. A review of the neurobiological literature suggests that the capacity limit of VSTM storage is primarily localized to the posterior parietal and occipital cortex, whereas the AB and PRP are associated with partly overlapping fronto-parietal networks. The convergence of these two networks in the lateral frontal cortex points to this brain region as a putative neural locus of a common processing bottleneck for perception and action.

Training Improves Multitasking Performance by Increasing the Speed of Information Processing in Human Prefrontal Cortex
Neuron, Volume 63, Issue 1, 16 July 2009, Pages 127-138
Paul E. Dux, Michael N. Tombu, Stephenie Harrison, Baxter P. Rogers, Frank Tong and René Marois
SummaryOur ability to multitask is severely limited: task performance deteriorates when we attempt to undertake two or more tasks simultaneously. Remarkably, extensive training can greatly reduce such multitasking costs. While it is not known how training alters the brain to solve the multitasking problem, it likely involves the prefrontal cortex given this brain region's purported role in limiting multitasking performance. Here, we show that the reduction of multitasking interference with training is not achieved by diverting the flow of information processing away from the prefrontal cortex or by segregating prefrontal cells into independent task-specific neuronal ensembles, but rather by increasing the speed of information processing in this brain region, thereby allowing multiple tasks to be processed in rapid succession. These results not only reveal how training leads to efficient multitasking, they also provide a mechanistic account of multitasking limitations, namely the poor speed of information processing in human prefrontal cortex.

Add/View Comments (0)Isolation of a Central Bottleneck of Information Processing with Time-Resolved fMRI
Paul E. Dux1, 2, Jason Ivanoff1, 2, Christopher L. Asplund1 and René Marois1, ,
Corresponding author2 These authors contributed equally to this work.
- When humans attempt to perform two tasks at once, execution of the first task usually leads to postponement of the second one. This task delay is thought to result from a bottleneck occurring at a central, amodal stage of information processing that precludes two response selection or decision-making operations from being concurrently executed. Using time-resolved functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), here we present a neural basis for such dual-task limitations, e.g. the inability of the posterior lateral prefrontal cortex, and possibly the superior medial frontal cortex, to process two decision-making operations at once. These results suggest that a neural network of frontal lobe areas acts as a central bottleneck of information processing that severely limits our ability to multitask.

Cupcake Monday! Fiona Cairns' Royal Creation
You may not be aware, but two Fridays ago there was a wedding in England between one of the world's lesser known princes and a girl he met at school. It went off with minimal fanfare and left the British populace largely unaffected but for a vicar who did cartwheels up the aisle after the ceremony, though rumour has it a red squirrel crawled up his pantleg and the gymnastics were a peppy attempt to loosen it from his knickers. It's not known whether the squirrel has since repented.
Kidding aside, the cake was pretty spectacular. Sometimes you see the results of what wealth can afford people and you think "What a waste of money." Not here, at least in my opinion. Renowned British cakemaker Fiona Cairns created the official version in an all-white, flower and ensignia-adorned traditional fruitcake. Its delicate and elegant and not at all pretentious, in relative terms, compared to some ostentatious celeb cakes which were five and six plus feet of what would appear to be subjective beauty. Norway's Crown Prince Haakon and his bride Mette-Marit had a 7 tiered wedding cake of raisins and rum that weighed 140 Kg, measured 2.69-metre high and was decorated with Viking ships. Hmmm...I hope it tasted good.
Fiona talks about how she felt when she was asked to make the Royal wedding cake and explains the 'language of flowers', a Victorian tradition that Kate asked her to incorporate into the design of the decoration:

Comments about Gamma Rebound Net:
is easy to take it out,is good for certain drill but excellent. I want more of the bounce back similar to a wall, but can't find yet to performance as fast as I want.Is not sturdy since to move all over if we try hard hitting ball. Just bounce well when the ball is hit in the center. other area we can't get a quality bounce return.
