The benefits of a Mediterranean diet in the battle against dementia
In an open letter to the Health Secretary, Jeremy Hunt, experts said persuading people to eat fresh fruit and vegetables, nuts, fish and olive oil was a strong strategy for preventing Alzheimer's.
They argued that the tactic for fighting memory-robbing diseases was "possibly the best strategy currently available", ahead of drugs.
The medics insisted that numerous high-quality studies back their call, but claimed that "compelling" evidence has largely been ignored.

Annuities: time for regulatory change
The Financial Services Consumer Panel today publishes the findings of its research into the consumer experience of purchasing an annuity, which shows that the market does not work well for the majority of consumers.
The Panel recommends urgent regulatory and government-led structural reform in order to prevent millions of pensioners from losing out.
The Panel's extensive 12-month study, which included a literature review and three separate pieces of independent research, uncovered evidence of a complex market which is failing to deliver good outcomes for many consumers.

Driven to dream
Drivers dream of owning an Aston Martin or Jaguar, but most drive a Ford or Vauxhall
Four fifths of drivers describe their car as important to their independence
Drivers in the Scotland are most likely to own a Ford (15%), but one in three UK motorists (32%) dream that their "other car" was an Aston Martin, Audi or Jaguar. A new survey from Age UK Enterprises, the commercial arm of the charity, reveals that drivers have high aspirations when it comes to cars they dream to drive.
"I'm a pensioner, get me out of here!"
Today's pensioners may not have to endure daily Bush Tucker trials to top up their shopping baskets but for almost 70% of people surveyed by the deVere Group, cost of living is the primary concern about retiring in the UK.
According the results of a recent survey of 1,231 over 50's questioned by the international financial consultancy, cost of living is the primary motivation for quitting Britain with almost half (49.5%) stating that they have 'seriously considered', 'are thinking about', or 'would be tempted' to live overseas during retirement.

Mead Minutes: Strength and patience
Good morning from the Desert! Fall is definitely here. The morning was pleasantly cool as I strolled the neighborhood. Whenever I think of fall, my mind fills with colorful, aromatic thoughts. I can see the brilliant colors of changing leaves. Baskets of crisp red, yellow, and green apples line stands for sale. Fields disclose large orange pumpkins previously hidden in the leaves. The smell of burning leaves, hot apple cider, and crisp, frosty air makes fall special to me. Here in Al Ain, I am finding other joys of fall. The temperatures are dropping from the triple digits of summer. Small bushes are sprouting new fine leaves in bold anticipation of less heat. People are venturing out into the neighborhood and parks in greater numbers. Outdoor sports are resuming. Life is becoming less nocturnal. Fall, but a different fall indeed.
Transition times contain uncertainty. Are we really through summer? What will winter be like? Transition times occur in life as well, of course. Whenever we enter a transition, whether it's leaving high school for college, work in one place for another, life as a single person to marriage, or daily work duties for retirement, there is uncertainty. Anticipated times of change allow the luxury to dream and, for some, the stress of worry.
Other changes occur in truly unexpected fashion. Death of a loved one, a bad medical report, an accident, or unexpected loss of a job can never be anticipated. This last week a family in our church had a house fire which destroyed all they had brought to Al Ain except their lives. What a trial to face! What an opportunity to serve and to let the church be the church! Faith in action is true faith. It is not enough to merely sit and voice, "Tut, Tut! How bad," if you truly claim to be a follower of Christ. If you have the ability and capability to assist people in need, then do so. There will be times, places, and peoples that call to your heart. Listen and then act. Maybe your heart hears about a neighbor in need of emotional, spiritual, or financial support. Maybe your heart yearns for a CURE child in need of your funds for an operation. Maybe a single mom needs a break. Maybe, maybe, maybe…. Too often we look for others, or even worse, our government to provide care for those in need. We need to engage our words and readings and turn them into actions.
I, too, think way too often, "What can I do as a single person? Others can do this better." OK, but will they? Will our government actually get help to those in need in the developing world? History records often, no. I have missed many opportunities to serve in past years, but that does not mean I cannot change. You don't need to (nor should you) say yes to every opportunity that crosses your path. Some opportunities, however, will touch you deeply. Some may touch you so deeply your life course will change. Other opportunities will gain you confidence to take another step on the road of service.
I find it amazing how my reading often fits with life's circumstances that are ongoing. Some call this a "coincidence"; others see it as God's will. Earlier in the week, I was reading some writings by William Barclay. The first edition of this text on Colossians was written in 1957. Thursday night I hear about the trial of the fire for this family. Through the week I see patients facing distress due to injuries or illness. Pastor Tripp spoke and taught on "Being prepared for the heat." Be ready for the trials; they will come. Hmmm. Am I supposed to be hearing and learning something here?
In Barclay's writing, he reviews two Greek words the Apostle Paul uses: hupomone and makrothumia. Hupomone is a word I have come across many times and love. Hupomone is often translated "patience." But this is not a "patience" that merely bows down and lets events flow over you like a wave. I think of resignation in the face of overwhelming circumstances in that context. Hupomone is not merely gritting your teeth and pushing through. Hupomone is used by Peterson as the strength to stick it out over the long haul… and strength that endures the unendurable and spills over into joy. Hupomone is the fortitude which no situation can defeat. Hupomone is the assured knowledge that despite circumstances as they may seem, there is still God in charge.
Makrothumia is often found translated as long suffering. Barclay talks of patience with people as the core idea. Makrothumia is the quality of mind that will allow you to bear with people's unpleasantness, cruelty, and unteachable spirits and not become bitter.
Together you develop a word picture where hupomone gains you strength in fortitude which no situation can defeat and makrothumia grows your patience that cannot be defeated by people. These two words exude power: power over situations and patience with people who face you in challenge. Paul prayed for hupomone and makrothumia for the people of Colosse — and also for us.
Across the globe we see and hear about situations and peoples that create chaos and pain. We do indeed live in a fallen world. Pastor talked of being prepared for the tough times that will come. Fires show how quickly your life can change. Unreasonable people can drive you to distraction. That is why we need to pray for our own hupomone and makrothumia. We need that strength in fortitude and the patience with people to travel through our life adventures. We need to seize these concepts and live out life as we travel through the trials in His grip.
"Make me, O Lord, victorious over every circumstance; make me patient with every person; and with all give me the joy which no circumstance and no man will ever take from me." — Wm Barclay, from Letters to the Philippians, Colossians, and Thessalonians

About Original Hotcoat Powder Coating Gun
Why powder coat? Because it gives you one of the most economical, color-durable, and longest-lasting finishes available. You'll find powder-coated surfaces are far more resistant to chipping, scratches, fading, and wear than other finishes, and the color selection is virtually unlimited, with high and low gloss, metallic, and clear finishes available. And thanks to the UV resistance of many of the powders, colors stay bright and vibrant longer. Texture selections range from smooth surfaces to a wrinkled or matte finish, plus rough textures designed for hiding surface imperfections.
One 8-oz. bottle of powder (not included) covers the same area as 2-3 cans of spray paint, and clean-up is easy, since you can simply sweep-up the oversprayed powder. Contains no environmentally harmful solvents. HotCoat powder coating requires a 5-10psi compressed air source and dedicated electric oven (or toaster oven). Imported.
Original HotCoat Gun with power source, instructions, FREE powder color chip chart
10021ZP Metal-2-Metal Surface Filler
10078 High-Temp Silicone Plugs, 30 pcs.
10027 High-Temp Masking Tape
43045 Stainless Steel .041" Safety Wire
10128 HotCoat High-Performance Deflector
Power unit supplies over 9000v DC at 15 micro amps. Plugs into grounded 110-120v AC outlet. Gun requires as little as 0.5 cfm at 5-10 psi. The 50061 Eastwood Air Brush Compressor works well. Fill cup no more than 1/4 to 1/3 full, and wave the nozzle in a circular motion about 4-6" from the surface best results. Do not apply powder into a small boxed area.
(Q) How long does the baking process take?
(A) For improved flow out (less "orange peel"), bake coated parts at 500 degrees F until powder flows out (about 3-4 minutes for light sheet metal parts), then turn down the heat to 400 degrees F for a full 15 minutes.
(Q) How can I improve transfer efficiency?
(A) The 10128 HotCoat High-Performance Deflector greatly improves transfer efficiency. Use the Standard Deflector for getting powder in recessed areas.
Safety / Instructions
Use Disposable Dust Mask (22055) when handling or applying powder. Powder,like common flour, suspended in the air in high concentrations can be explosive. To minimize any explosion risk - sweep up, do not vacuum powder from the floor. Cure powder in a well ventilated area. The urethane powders we sell liberate a very minute amount of isocyanates when the powder flows out.This usually occurs about 3-5 minutes after the part is placed in the oven to bake. Wear a respirator, like our SAS Bandit Respirator (11455 or 11456), cartridges when curing or inspecting flow out progress.

The key to having good results is thorough preparation. Make sure that you have blasted off all paint and rust before you clean everything thoroughly. I use Eastwood's metal wash and outgas my parts in the oven before I coat them.
I've attached a couple pictures of my work.

Powder Coating Gun System
(Posted on 10/26/09)
Review by GTRACER -
Price Value Quality
I prepare the items to coat using my beadblaster primarily. The powder adheres tightly to the heated and grounded part during application and flowout/curing is quick with the oven.
I highly recommend the system and I find the selection of powders to be adequate for my needs. The finish is extremely tough and is holding up well in antique and race car applications.
The cleanup is very simple, just sweep up the excess powder.

NEW YORK CITY -- Standing on the corner of 42nd Street and Vanderbilt Ave. in Mid-Town Manhattan Sunday evening, you'd have absolutely no idea a potentially historic storm was bearing down on New York City. While the streets did seem a bit less congested than usual, the folks we were able to chat with seemed to be going about their business as usual.
I spoke with Sandi Frinton from Poughkeepsie outside of Grand Central Terminal, to get a sense of her preparations for the soon-to-arrive storm. "Umm, I went to Jets game, I've done nothing to prepare, and the Dolphins won," she says.
Not exactly the epitome of chaos and fear in her voice.
Of course, NYC is well-known for its slew of street vendors. With the impending MTA shutdown of mass transit in NYC, how were vendors faring outside of Grand Central? Ehaib Ahmed told me Sandy is actually helping him out.
"People are coming from all over the city, they're complaining that everything is closing down, there's no food anywhere," Ahmed says. "So, the first question is, when somebody walks in, is oh, do you have any food, anything left? So it's definitely a good turnout for me, you know?"
I even ran into someone from a land down under, Sarah Ann Wiseman from Brisbane, Australia. She was also giving off an easy-going vibe. "Yeah, just getting ready to have a few days inside, we're trying to make it an adventure, 'cause we're on vacation. So, we've bought cards and games to play," Wiseman says.
While the general feeling is calm for now, our CNYCentral crew will be down here for landfall of Hurricane Sandy late Monday, and watching out for a potentially history storm surge in low-lying areas of Manhattan.

There is an amusing, heated exchange in "Red," the Tony Award-winning play now at the Mark Taper Forum, between the artist Mark Rothko and his assistant Ken on the subject of what is red.
You don't know what "red" is, Rothko chastises his gofer after Ken dares to suggest that one of his paintings needed more of the color.
"Sunrise is red and red is sunrise," offers the assistant. "Red is heart ... Red is passion ... Red wine. Red roses. Red lipstick.
"Beets. Tulips. Peppers," he continues.
Rothko returns with "Arterial blood." Then, for every "Ruby Red Slippers" or "Pomegrantes" Ken comes up with, the artist volleys back with "Nazi flag" or "Slash your wrists. Blood in the sink."
When Ken says "Santa," Rothko answers "Satan," and sums things up with "So red." Then he wonders if there are more cigarettes.
It's moments like that that make the two-man play by John Logan such a winner.
One second it's trying to get at some conceptual or intellectual point, the next it's back to the mundane and to the sweat that goes into making art. "We work hard here," Rothko informs Ken when telling him the requirements for the job. In "Red's" case, it involves stretching and priming canvases as well as mixing paint onstage. It also involves arguing and staring at the paintings.
Logan's biographical drama is set in the late 1950s in Rothko's Manhattan studio when he was commissioned to paint murals for the Four Seasons restaurant in the new Seagram Building on Park Avenue. When we meet the painter - brilliantly played by Alfred Molina -- he is seated in a green Adirondack deck chair contemplating one of his large predominantly red canvases, a work in progress.
When Ken arrives for the first time, Rothko demands before the assistant can open his mouth, "What do you see?" and directs him toward the painting. He doesn't care about his opinion. "Of course, you like it ... how can you not like it? Everybody likes everything nowadays." Rothko's conversations are meant to be openings for him to muse or rant out loud.
"I am not your father ... I am not your teacher," Ken is warned by Rothko, who then sends him off to read Nietzsche's "The Birth of Tragedy." The artist wants him to understand. Only Ken, an aspiring artist himself, is not without his own opinions, and Jonathan Groff displays the strength and heart needed for the role.
Rothko wants to understand himself. At this point in his career, he is successful beyond his belief. "I've become a noun," he says, shaking his head at his fame.
The Russian immigrant, an abstract expressionist (a label he rejected), was part of what was known as the New York School, a group of "rebel" artists who challenged the aesthetics of the establishment and who, none more so than Rothko , were known for their strong opinions. "A painting is not about an experience. It is an experience," he once asserted.
What Logan smartly does in "Red" is never to try to explain either the painter or the creative process. Instead, he gives us an experience with lively, sharp dialogues.
Is Rothko opening people's eyes or merely decorating the wall of the establishment? Ken and the artist argue. They reference everything from "Hamlet" to Caravaggio to Andy Warhol and Jackson Pollock, but always drawing the audience back to the question of "What do you see?"
"Red" is exquisitely directed by Michael Grandage with an economic artistry. The showy moments in the dialogue never sound forced.
Molina wonderfully captures Rothko's larger-than-life persona along with his moments of insecurity. It's impossible to imagine anyone better than Molina for the demanding role. And if you have only seen Groff in "Glee," you've only glimpsed his depth as an actor.
The play has a few moments that ring a bit false -- a melodramatic secret from Ken's past and Warhol's soup cans, which Rothko rails against, would come later, historically. But those are easily overlooked.
Logan, known for his screenplays ("Gladiator," "The Aviator," "Hugo"), has created an exciting stage experience that examines the tension between an artist and his work, bringing to mind the Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine musical "Sunday in the Park with George." At a couple of points in the play, Molina's Rothko tellingly places his hand over the canvas as if to feel some kind of life force.
In an entertaining and provocative 90 minutes, "Red" offers perspective on Rothko, who would commit suicide in 1970. "Look at these pictures. Look at them ... not nice. Not fine. Real," he howls in the play. And Logan reminds us that his art roars, too.
What: John Logan's play starring Alfred Molina and Jonathan Groff, about artist Mark Rothko.When: 8 p.m. Tuesday through Friday, 2 and 8 p.m. Saturday, 1 and 6:30 p.m. Sunday through Sept. 9.

Profile America - Tuesday, September 24th. One of our favorite foods is being celebrated - it's National Chicken Month, nicely complementing September's Mushroom and Rice Month. The versatility of chicken - served in numerous ways ranging from Southern fried style to sandwiches to salads - drives a demand that has reached over 8.5 billion birds a year in the U.S. alone. This is almost a 50 percent increase from the broiler production in 1990. Americans eat about 56 pounds of chicken per capita annually, at a cost of around $155 for all poultry. Georgia is the top producer - followed by Arkansas and Mississippi. The result is certainly not chicken feed but a nearly $24 billion a year industry.

Appraisal Institute President Sara W. Stephens, MAI, was featured Dec. 14 in The Washington Post where she discussed how homebuyers and sellers should handle a situation when an appraisal comes in below a home's contract price.
"Homebuyers should certainly ask to see the appraisal report, which is their right. Make sure all the data are correct, such as the total square footage and the number of bedrooms, bathrooms and garages," Stephens said. "If all those things check out, I would get in a car and check on the comparable sales, and make sure they are in the same market and have the same characteristics as the home you're trying to buy or sell."
This story is among the recent media coverage included in the "AI in the News" feature on the members-only section of the Appraisal Institute website.
Appraisal Institute members appearing recently in local media coverage include Tim Hooper, MAI,The Capital (Annapolis, Md.); Gary Crabtree, SRA, The Bakersfield Californian; Michael Clapp, MAI, SRA, SRPA, Winston-Salem (N.C.)

Hi, While I appreciate your improvements upon my code (I'll be the first to admit that I'm no expert and had just spliced things together to make it barely work XD), I've mostly moved on from that theme. If you like, I can put it into the theme download, though. Also, the reason why it was originally so long was since the font isn't default, I made it display pictures of the numbers instead of the actual numbers to simplify the install. Did you change something to that effect? Thanks!
hi, i want my lockscreen to look like this - http://www.ifans.com/forums/imgcache3/3014204e8461f3dcac223bd5a50f2c96.png?orig_url=http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii221/carlosthejackl/LockScreen.png so i've got everything right except that i don't know how to remove the left side of the status bar (carrier and the 'lock' icon) could you help me ? also, could you send me that wallpaper? i would be thankful. greets.
Oh I just realized I didn't answer your original question, did I? :P Actually, it was a combination. I used Iconoclasm to get the correct spacing between icons and the right numbers of icons per row, but I used blanks in certain spots (for example, on the double tiles).

Iowa: 'weirdos in a cattle car'
Mitt Romney's win in Iowa kicks off what is likely to be a long Republican campaign to choose their nominee for the 2012 US presidential election. Much of the coverage of the Republican candidates is critical: they emerge as "weirdos" in a cattle car. That's the focus for this look at the world papers, Wednesday 4th January 2011.
The Washington Post leads with "Romney defends conservative credentials, says he was the conservative alternative 4 years ago".
The Huffington Post has two pieces on Rick Santorum. "Caucus performance bolstered by Tea Party, religious voters". And "States should have power to ban birth control, sodomy".
And The International Herald Tribune cartoon depicts the Republican candidates as "weirdos" in a cattle car. The advice: "Don't make eye contact".

At this stage of the game, I suspect they're handling it as a dedicated coprocessor box, much like the old FPS array processing boxes did. One task uses the box at a time, and it's explicitly managed by the user (or the user program). I don't know that they support, say, 2 simultaneous accelerated processes at once.

Besides the easy layout, I loved that your site had very detailed specifications of each bbq smoker. The last thing I wanted was a barbeque that was half an inch too big for my balcony. I tracked the order from purchase to my door. Thanks, because now I can enjoy some home-style cooking whenever I want.""

Generals in Blue and Generals in Gray, both by Ezra J. Warner are pretty good but there is only a couple of paragraphs on most generals. Biggies like Grant or Lee get considerably more attention. Who was Who in the Civil War by Stewart Sifakis is very similar but gives attention to other important people besides just those with stars on thier shoulders. Tom |

A book that I read this summer that I really enjoyed is called "Jefferson Davis and His Generals: The Failure of Confederate Command in the West" by Steven E Woodward. University of Kansas Press, 1990. This book mostly deals with Confederate generals who fought in the Western Theater, but, of course, the Union generals who fought them are described too. What I particularly like about this book is that it shows how intensely involved with battle plans and campaigns Davis was and how politics and favoritism were major determinants of who actually had command and how long they held it. Davis, as a West Point grad and Mexican War hero, fancied himself as having great military acumen and frequently interfered with his generals. That he did so to a greater extent in the West than in Lee's Eastern command, may have impacted the ultimate outcome of the war. Of course, opinions do vary on how effective Davis was and if his views did more harm or good or had little appreciable impact because so many other factors contributed to the outcome of campaigns and battles. As expected, the book spends much time on PGT Beauregard, Braxton Bragg, A.S. Johnston and J.E. Johnston, John Bell Hood, Edmund Kirby Smith, Patrick Cleburne, William Hardee, Nathan Bedford Forrest, Stirling Price, Earl Van Dorn and many others. The reader is introduced to the generals and the campaigns of the West and Trans Mississippi as they unfolded, so it is both a solid chronological history and a description of the generals who together with Jefferson Davis, played major roles in this part of the Civil War. |

Tom, I bought Generals in Blue and Generals in Gray this past year. They are two of my most referred to books on the shelf. I like that the books have a photo of each General that there is a photo in existance. Some are of them as young men , some are taken later on in life . |

They are two of my most referred to books on the shelf. Mine as well, Miss Susan. Sifakis' book meets the single-volume requirement, but isn't as thorough as the Warner set. If one is to get carried away with generals, Freeman's, Lee's Lieutenants (three volumes), and Williams', Lincoln Finds a General (5 volumes) are logical extensions. Ole |

I don't know of any book that gives more than a brief summary of those aspects of CW generals. Certainly there are several books which fill your bill as to individual officers/generals. I'd expect that if you asked the forum about books which give that information about any specific generals, you would get numerous ideas. |

Fuller, A book I thought was an excellent read was John Waugh's book on the Class of 1846. Deals with CW Generals who graduated from West Point that year. I highly recommend it. Regards from the Garden State, Steve Basic |

Another book along the same line as "Class of 1846" is the thoroughly entertaining and informative "Last in Their Class: Custer, Pickett and the Goats of West Point'" by Jerome S. Robbins, 2006. This book tells about the generals who graduated last their class and how, despite this ranking, went on to achieve immortality in some cases. Often, in fact, they did better than some of their classmates who ranked much higher! Their deeds are not only in the Civil War, but in the Seminole Indian Wars, the Mexican War and in various conflicts after the Civil War. Though several generals are discussed in detail, the most attention is paid to Custer and to Pickett. But I leanrned much that I didn't know about cadet life, leisure, frustrations and chalenges at West Point. I really enjoyed this book, even thougfh I had thought it was only about Custer and Pickett when I bought it. At first I was disappointed, but then I was really pleased to learn so much about life at West Point and even to learn that being the very last in the class was seen as a type of honor.

Another book that is limited to Confederate officers is "Staff Officers in Gray: A Biographical Register of the Staff Officers in the Army of Northern Virginia" by Robert E. L. Krick, 2003, The University of North Carolina Press. This book contains mini-biographies (very minimal, I might add) of 2,300 staff officers in the ANV. This list does not include surgeons, couriers or provost marshalls.There are two appendices that list without biographies) the names of 3000 staff officers who served in other Confederate armies. Appendix 2 limits itself to the ANV and goes general-by-general listing by name, rank and position every staff officer ever known to have served with that general. How I wish there were such a book for every army, both North and South. It would make a vital addition to the shelf of anyone who does research on the Civil WAr. |

Two books that I recommend on the subject are: The Warrior Generals: Combat Leadership in the Civil War by Thomas B. Buell. This book looks at three pairs of generals from the Union and the Confederacy at three different levels of command; Grant and Lee, Thomas and Hood and Barlow and Gordon. IMO an excellent read and well put together. and Civil War Leadership: The Art of Command by W.J. Wood. The first part discusses the pre-civil war military thought; the "lesson"s from the Napoleonic Wars and the art of command while the bulk of it looks at three sets of generals from the Union and the Confederacy in the context of three battles in which each pair opposed each other. They are Banks and Jackson at Cedar Mountain; Rosecrans and Bragg at Chickamauga and Thomas and Hood at Nashville. A very good read. Cheers Chris Last edited on Mon Oct 1st, 2007 12:34 pm by chrisr |

Calcav nails this one go with the Sifikas if you want just one volume and you get the admirals and politicians and other interesting people to boot. But Warner is still the best for just the generals. If you are willing to accept a two book answer than another one to consider is The Medical Histories of the Confederate (Union) Generals by Dr. Jack Welsh. It doesn't provide as much details as Warner or Sifikis but a very basic biography is there but you get details on their medical ailments and wounds that are most interesting. |

Another well written but single volume alternative would be the other Williams' (T. Harry) Lincoln and His Generals. |

How does our brain learn new information?
—David Graybill, New York City
Heidi Johansen-Berg, a neuroscientist at the University of Oxford, responds:
the brain is an enormously complex network of billions of neurons connected by more than 90,000 miles of fibers—long enough to traverse Russia's coastline four times. This intricate architecture allows us to absorb information quickly and efficiently. Learning mainly takes place at synapses, the junctions between neurons where information is relayed. A synapse's performance changes when we learn something new, obeying the principle that "cells that fire together, wire together."
To understand this concept, first imagine trying to remember the name of a new colleague, a tall, bearded man we'll call Joe. Your brain needs to form an association between a complex visual image and a name, which are encoded by different groups of neurons in various parts of your brain. Every time you are introduced to Joe, these sets of neurons fire simultaneously, strengthening the synaptic pathway that connects them. Next time you spot a tall, bearded man coming down the corridor, you will easily greet Joe because the visual image will be strongly linked with his name.
Many different events can increase a synapse's strength when we learn new skills. The process that we understand best is called long-term potentiation, in which repeatedly stimulating two neurons at the same time fortifies the link between them. After a strong connection is established between these neurons, stimulating the first neuron will more likely excite the second.
In addition to making existing synapses more robust, learning causes the brain to grow larger. Optical imaging allows researchers to visualize this growth in animals. For instance, when a rat learns a difficult skill, such as reaching through a hole for a pellet of food, within minutes new protrusions, called dendritic spines, grow on the synapses in its motor cortex, the region that allows animals to plan and execute movements.
Although we cannot see these tiny details in living human brains, we can use brain scanners to visualize larger changes that happen as we learn over longer periods. Learning to juggle, for example, increases the size of parts of the brain involved in looking at and reaching for moving objects and strengthens the pathways that connect these regions.

This airy, overhanging excursion is a must-do for those comfortable at the grade. While never fatal, this route is quite serious in a couple of places, including the 11d crux boulder problem, which you encounter off an exposed hanging belay on the third pitch. Alternately delicate, thuggy and heady, The Wisdom is arguably the best continuously free route on the Roof Wall. P1: (10d s) Begin on the ramp about fifty feet up and left of Temporary Like Achilles and Dangerous Acquaintances. The route face climbs right from a small stance at the top of the double cave-slots, moving through a scoop past greasy laybacks and a so-so fixed pin to easier face moves above. Protect when you can. P2: (11b) A completely unique experience! From the alcove at the top of the first pitch jug haul up to a bolt at the base of the Scary Canary dihedral. Clip then bolt then, counter to your instincts, downclimb right along the lip of the roof on a good rail (pumpy) until you can roll over onto the smooth, tan face above the lip. Belay under the small roof at double Metolius anchor bolts. This pitch is commonly combined with pitch 1. P3: (11d/12a s) The crux. Undercling right off the hanging belay to an thin-walled but solid hole/flake. Load it up with 2"+ gear, then crank straight up on bouldery, commiting moves. The handholds are good but the footholds suck through here; a fall from the top of this sequence will send you for a good 30-footer. Have your belayer be mindful not to drop you beneath the big roof another 10 feet down, as sharp rails at the lip might cut your rope! Easier, better protected climbing up a R-facing corner leads you to a small belay stance. P4: (5.9) Move up and right from the belay to the varnished plaque of rock, clipping a lone bolt and executing a series of hideously desperate slab moves (this is Psycho Slab) to reach the safety of the Upper Ramp.
Your standard Eldo rack, plus a fairly healthy selection of RP's and small cams. Don't forget two big hand-sized pieces for the crux pitch (#2 Camalot size, roughly).
I've got an old issue of "Climbing" (July 1978) which accurately describes the first ascent(s). Each pitch received separate FAs. John Bachar did the FA of the entire route. Pitch one FA: E. Webster. Pitch two FA: Candelaria or Higbee. Pitch three FA: Bachar. The article is pretty interesting. It sounds like they avoided the hanging belay above second pitch (hanging belays were considered aid), and just combined the second and third pitches--pretty exciting.The route was tried by some of the best climbers back then, but some were reluctant to do it because of the bolt placed above the roof--it was considered illegal, degrading, and ruined the route for some! Times sure have changed. The Wisdom is an Eldo classic. Back in the '80's the best hard-man combo was to do The Wisdom to Jules Verne to Lene's Dream to the Naked Edge.
From Rocky Heights: "History: An aid climb (5.8, A4 by Layton Kor and Pat Ament in 1961), it was subjected to free climbing attempts in the mid-seventies. The first pitch was lead free in 1975 by Ed Webster. The main roof was lead free in 1975 by Art Higbee after a few tries. The final roof was lead free by John Bachar after a couple of attempts."
I had been scared of this route for a long time, and finally tried it. It wasn't as bad as I expected, but most of what is said about the route is true. Here is some gear beta. You might use different gear, but this will give you an idea of what to bring. P1 - blue Alien (or #0 Metolius), #1 Metolius, small stoppers, and quickdraws. P2 (roof) - 2 quick draws is all you need. P3 (crux) - #00 Metolius, 2 #2 Camalots for falling off the crux, #1 Camalot, #3 Camalot, and quickdraws. P4 (Psycho Slab) - #2 Camalot, quickdraw. I find cutting almost straight right across the slab on small edges (for fingers) the easiest way to go.
A tidbit of trivia about the FFA of pitch one: Jim Erickson: "We were all trying the first pitch, but nobody was willing to do the unprotected 5.10 move. Along came Ed (Webster) hiking up the roof routes trail. He was young, impressionable, and out to make a name for himself. So he tied in and we sent him up there. Thankfully, he got the rope up there for us."
The first two pitches, linked together, made one of the most spectacular pitches I've yet to do in Eldo. The pin on the "first" pitch is not visible until you are literally face-to-face with it. This led to some pumpy and futile gear tinkering in the scoop below. The pin looks pretty good, certainly better than the manky nuts that I thought were going to protect the crux. "Pitch 2" has incredible position and exposure for being only 100 feet off the deck... this pitch is probably more scary for the follower than the leader. One 60 meter rope will just barely get you down from here.
Finally decided to give this thing a whirl today, and what a stellar line. The first two pitches as one was definitely the way to go. the third pitch, although not so hard once you've seen the holds, is hard to see/read from the belay and committing to the moves on slick/blind feet will get you crimping hard. Not as scary as I was expecting, but still has some spice! I was able to carry a light rack on this one, which helps on the steep stuff (single set from black Alien to #3 Camalot, double on #2 Camalot for crux). I'd say it's the best of the roof routes...I've yet to do.
Check out the latest issue of Rock and Ice (#161) for some great shots of "The Wisdom" roof. The article on Hank is pretty funny, also.
This thing is 12a blah blah blah.... 11d if you can't send. I love this route got to be one of Eldo's best. Wait, I say that about every route in Eldo. Screw it I just love climbing in Eldo. All the routs ROCK!
Amen Stocker I agree it is only 11d if you don't send it. A nice comfy rest when you take does help out the pump significantly. Better bring two tickets to the Gun Show to send, the feet are nonexistent through the crux. I'm renaming this route in fine Mountain Project fashion. I dub thee, "The Mother @#?!&!". So sick it makes my palms sweat thinking about it. Don't bother getting on it, it's over rated.
After reading the description and Mark T's comment, I believe there is more historical info to the "second" pitch. I believe that for its FA, there was no bolt in the roof protecting the downclimb traverse!! I believe that pro was arduously placed up in the Scary Canary corner and most likely then the pin in the roof which is still there. Correct me if I am wrong.... I must admit, for better or for worse, in 1996, with Park permission, I replaced the bolts of the hanging belay (point of aid) for the "third" pitch. The Wisdom was one of my favorite routes to do then and of course I felt I was doing a community service.... What a way more proud ascent it would be to eliminate the hanging belay and do the "second" and "third" pitches like JB did for its FFA!!! I've never done it that way. (That left, old Star-Drive bolt did come out frighteningly easily and the other was not too much more difficult!!)
Finally got on this after thinking about it for 2 years. While it is a little scary to climb above the gear, there are no features below the crux, so I don't really think it is an R route. You are more likely to get hurt on the first pitch in my opinion. The crux is about V3, with jugs at the top - not as bad as I expected. Put 2 #2 Camalots in and go for it!
It seems that the anchors on the hanging slab (top of pitch two) are a point of aid. There is no obvious belay ledge there and it is just used to make the crux easier. I think Bachar had the real vision for a free ascent, ledge to ledge (combine pitch 2 and 3).
Wow, what an incredible climb! Definitely R for the bottom half of the 1st pitch. Good nuts or a big RP back up the pin nicely. Of the 3 pitches, P2 felt the hardest and pumpiest, even with a top rope belay! This pitch is airy and exciting and the reason this climb gets 4 instead of 3 stars. In accordance with most other comments, P3 seemed a tough mental pitch as you commit and get your feet 4-5' above your bomber gear before you can place another very good yellow Alien size. However, contrary to most other comments, these moves seemed easier than traversing down the roof on P2. Maybe I got lucky with the foot work or found a secret hold. I dunno, but this is likely the first route I've ever been on in Eldo that felt quite a bit easier than the consensus grade.
On the FA with Kor and Ament, it was done on a snowy, cold day, and Pat was 14!
Anyone know if pitches 1-3 have been linked into a single pitch? Seems very doable.
I've heard that there is a climb in Morrison, Co, that was used to train for a climb up in Eldo. The climb is called Upper Wisdom or if you want, Full Wisdom. I wonder if this is the climb that was talked about?
Many years ago I met Jim Garber at Morrison while doing the Wisdom Simulator, and he said that he used that boulder problem to train for this route.
In reply to the above post, yes this climb goes easily in one pitch, it's about 50m in total (p1-3, I'm not sure about adding the Psycho Slab). With long slings, strategic runouts, and a skinny rope, I didn't feel there was any ropedrag at the crux. Also, there's no reason to haul 2 gold Camalots up the route. If you wanna double down on gear before the crux, there's a great purple Camalot in the left side of the undercling pod. Scott
Linked first pitch of Scary Canary into this route. It was an awesome link and full value fun climbing.
