Does eating fish make children smarter?
By Jennifer Nelson, M.S., R.D. and Katherine Zeratsky, R.D.

The nutritional research linking fish, especially those rich with omega 3 fatty acids, to many potential health benefits continues to grow. The omega 3 fatty acid, DHA, is found in high concentrations in the brain, eyes, and central nervous system. One arena of this research relates to IQ, specifically that of infants and children.
In the past several years, much of the advertising of DHA as it relates to infant nutrition has been done by the infant formula companies. I recognize formula companies for their continued efforts to improve the composition of their formulas — to try to mimic the long list of benefits provided by breast milk.
Although some cognitive (IQ) research results may be promising, in total, no conclusive results indicate that indeed, an algae source of omega 3 and 6 fatty acids in infant formula equates to smarter children in the long term. This is especially true when the many possible compounding factors such as mother and infant health, socioeconomic factors, and the many other factors that may impact childhood development are taken into account. This in itself could make for a great discussion — please share your views.
Interestingly, within the past month, 2 studies have been released linking a pregnant woman's diet rich in fish to smarter children in the early months of life up to age 3. The studies looked specifically at a woman's diet during the 2nd and 3rd trimesters of pregnancy — a time of important brain development. Those women who consumed fish during this time had children that performed better on visual and cognitive tests. One study even suggests that fish intake of the mother during the 3rd trimester of pregnancy may provide better cognitive outcomes than that obtained through breast milk or formula after birth.
The researchers acknowledge the potential benefits of their findings but do not neglect to mention the risks of mercury contamination. Current recommendations are that pregnant women limit mercury intake and avoid fish high in mercury, such as swordfish, shark, tilefish, and king mackerel. Mercury is a known neurotoxin.
When the recommendations of limiting fish intake were released in 2001, there was a decrease in fish consumption by many pregnant women. Both studies suggest that greater intake of fish, possibly more than the recommended 12 ounces per week (current recommended limit), may be of benefit. However, choosing fish with low mercury content seems to be the best advice.
What do you think — can food make us, more specifically children, smarter?
Would you/do you exceed the current recommendations of more than 12 ounces in a week? What is your threshold of possible risk vs. possible benefit?
To your health,

I ate red meat and fish throughout my pregnancy. I also drank more orange juice than I swear Florida could provide, which is, doctors believe, how I failed my diabetes test by 1 point. I was ecstatic when they told me meat was a free-bee in my new pregnancy diet, and that fish was more than allowed, as long as I steered clear of swordfish, ate tuna sparingly, and stayed away from anything fished out of the Great Lakes. Salmon...mmmmmm...Threw it into salads frequently. Chicken did nothing for me, I'd eat it and be starving 30 minutes later. Fish and beef kept me going through my day. I now have a very active 7 month old who has been babbling since he was 3 months old, which is when he learned to roll over from front to back, and he's been crawling for a couple of weeks now, and scooting for a month before that. His sight is excellent as well. My prenatals had DHA in them also. Does this prove the article? I don't know, but there's definitely more comments supporting the theory.

I ate fish a lot during my first pregnancy, as we had lived in Alaska and it was one of our main sources of protein as I imagine it is for most people who live in such places. I hadn't researched or heard anything at the time about mercury dangers and my daughter proved to be quite brilliant having a very large vocabulary of over 200 words at the age of 12 months. She continues to excel in academics and everything she does. I wonder however, if this is indeed the outcome of eating fish during pregnancy? If that were true wouldn't all or most natives of Alaska and other cultures where fish is the main source of protein be of above average intelligence? None the less, I am currently pregnant again and in my second trimester and have and will continue to ensure I consume fish (from a safe source) at least twice a week.

My mother usually cooks fish for me.She told me that when she was young, our family was very hard because of the effect of war in Vietnam.We have to live in self-provided regime so there are not enough fishes for whole family.She has not been eating fish instead of sweet potato,rice, seasame and salt.But she still grows strongly and now became a sucessful business.Clearly, eating fish is very good for brain but I think it is not the most important thing make children smarter .It depends on the ways to educate children. Parents can not hope that their children eat fishes to receive a PhD degree in the future if their children are always lazy and do not have attempt in work.

I'd like to comment on a couple of details in previous posts... Actually, the human body can manufacture DHA, but some nutritionists believe that we cannot create enough of it to reach optimal levels. Also, hemp does not contain DHA. It contains another Omega 3 fatty acid, ALA, which the human body makes on it's own in quantities that are generally regarded as sufficient. I'm currently pregnant with my second child. I take a DHA supplement that is derived from algae. While it's possible that DHA might not be of benefit, it certainly can't hurt! Anything that may help my baby (without any real drawbacks) is something I'll definitely try. My two year old also takes a small algae-based DHA supplement, each day. That way, we're getting a potentially beneficial nutrient while avoiding mercury and the ethically-questionable issue of commercial fish farms and trawling.

During my 2nd trimester I began to crave sardines. I wanted them all the time and it became a concern for me. I thought that I was lacking something that I truly needed. I looked into "fish oil" pills and found that the oil came from sardines so I started taking one per day. I continued taking them because my sardine craving had vanished. I now have a 6 month old and she is alert, very healthy and happy. I have continued to take the daily supplement because I am breast feeding. I do not know how/if the fish oil improved her I.Q., but it solved my intense cravings and it does not seemed to have hurt her.

Carl, you should clarify the difference between commercial fishing and recreational. The fish stocks you mention are not significantly impacted by recreational fishing.

Fish can be successfully replaced by hemp, which is far more nutricious, as it contains high levels of protein(especially the essential aminoacids for the human body) and a very wide range of minerals(iron, calcium, selenium, magnesia, zinc) and vitamins, together with its omega fatty acids(which in hemp are, by the way, in the right proportion needed by the human body).

I ate a 10 oz portion of fish (mainly salmon) while pregnant with my son once a week. Starting from 4 months of age on to he was a year he had Enfamil DHA formula. He spoke his first sentence at 15 months and is excelling at private school at age 5. Could be a coincidence...

One thing that continues to amaze me about all the omega 3 hype is that nobody ever thinks about the impact all this has on our oceans. Many fish like Tuna, Swordfish etc are on the point of extinction not to mention all the other marine life needlessly killed by the greed of the fishing industry worldwide. We as a species have got to stop eating fish and soon.
- Carl

I used a healthy combination of BOTH during my pregnancy. I ate about 12 oz of chunk light tuna every week and took a DHA supplement (Enfamil) every day. After my daughter was born, I continued the routine while I breastfed her for 6 months. She just turned 2, and most people do mistake her for being 3 or sometimes even 4 years old. She speaks in full sentences and has been since she was about 18 months. She first began to speak at 7 months. She also knows all of her colors, letters, numbers, etc. I don't know if the DHA had anything to do with her advanced development, but I know it certainly didn't hurt. I am now pregnant with our second child and plan on the exact same routine for this one as well. The main thing I wanted to point out, is if you are concerned about going over 12 oz, but want to make sure you are getting enough DHA, adding the supplement on top of eating the fish was a great way to accomplish this without having to worry about comsuming a dangerous amount of mercury.

my mother was a vegetarian (no fish of any sort, red or white meat at all) before she got pregnant with me, during the pregnancy and when she was breastfeeding. i have been a vegetarian my whole life. i score very well on IQ tests, in about the top 3% of the population and am now studying architecture, so my visual abilities are healthy too. now, i question whether a good IQ test score necessarily equates to intelligence, but the issue of IQ/intelligence is complex and merely adding omega 3 to your diet whilst pregnant won't exactly ensure your child a nobel prize later in life. there are many factors at work here and IQ alone is not enough to ensure success in life, far from it. however, the fact that you care enough to ask that question is a very good sign for your child's development because it means that they have a parent who is committed to their wellbeing and is actively seeking to give them the best start in life.

Excellent article. As a retired public health nutritionist, I was often asked by pregnant women, if fish is good for them or harmful. We need to continue to promote mother's milk as the best source of nutrition for the infant and promote optimal preconceptual health of women. Everyone seems to want to have the smartest baby/child/student. We need to look closely at the research, as new products are developed and marketed to consumers.

If you can't eat Salmon or Tuna three times a week, Omega3 capsules, like Efacor, are good alternatives.

If you are concerned about the mercury levels in some fish, there are many supplements of omega 3's to choose from. I have been taking Omega Mom's from the beginning of my pregnancy, hopefully this will make up where my diet has been lacking in fish.

I am an RD with the National Fisheries Institute, and absorbed by the science surrounding fish and fetal brain and eye development daily. While the media have created an atmosphere of confusion on this issue, advice for pregnant women is actually quite clear. There are just four fish to avoid to minimize exposure to mercury – fish that most Americans already don't eat: shark, tilefish, king mackerel, and swordfish. Otherwise, a variety of 12 ounces a week – including up to 6 ounces of albacore tuna – is recommended. And as your article mentions, a growing body of science suggests that 12 weekly ounces of fish and shellfish should be a minimum. While supplements are an option for women who cannot for some reason eat enough fish, science shows eating fish as whole food is safe. In fact, as is the case with all foods, opting for isolated nutrients in pill form means missing out on the whole package. Not only is fish the richest food source of DHA and EPA omega-3s, it is low in total fat, high in protein, and rich in nutrients including vitamins B, D, zinc, iodine and selenium. Beyond fetal brain and eye development, this superstar nutrient profile contributes to other important health benefits including weight maintenance and reduced risk of heart disease.

These women failed to acknowledge a couple of key points of both the fish study and the use of algal oil in formula. The fish study was done from 1999 to 2002, which is before DHA & AA were even added to infant formula in the US. It wasn't GRAS by the FDA until 2001. Formula manufacturers didn't really implement it across the board until after the fish study was done. It will be a while before long-term studies will be able to be completed on the long-term benefits of algal oil in infants and toddlers nutrition. The studies did show a benefit of eating fish during pregnancy but also showed the harm in eating high mercury fish. I believe, as many manufacturers do, that the benefit of eating fish comes from the consumption of the DHA in the fish. That's why consumption of DHA from algal oil is a safe alternative from fish and pregnant women would get the same benefits as eating fish. After all, the fish get their DHA from algae so why can't we. Fish don't manufacturer DHA on their own just like we don't, they digest DHA-laden algae. Consuming DHA algal oil supplements eliminates the middleman. My son was fed DHA-enhanced formula (and now DHA-enhanced milk, juice, and yogurt) and people constantly comment on how smart he is (and I'm amazed at how sharp his vision is). DHA is the way to go, not only for infants and toddlers but adults as well. It's great for the brain, eyes, and heart - and if you drink Blueberry Pomegranate Juice, it's delicious too

Do you find yourself nodding off at your desk – or worse, in a business meeting? Singing out loud to stay awake as you drive home? Maybe you just need more sleep – or maybe you have a sleep disorder. Excessive daytime sleepiness can have dire consequences. The American Sleep Apnea Association estimates that more than 20 million Americans suffer from sleep apnea. Unfortunately, the vast majority of those affected are undiagnosed. Untreated sleep apnea often leads to hypertension, heart and cardiovascular problems, as well as accidents of all kinds. Pilots are not immune.
In 2009, a National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) Safety Recommendation to the FAA resulted in changes to the evaluation requirements for medical certification. The FAA, at the urging of the NTSB, determined that untreated obstructive sleep apnea could be a contributing factor to accidents.
The FAA now grants medical certification under a Special Issuance Authorization to pilots who report successful treatment and control of obstructive sleep apnea.
If you have sleep apnea, you have no doubt noticed that there is no specific reference to it on the airman medical application. However, the FAA expects it to be reported under item 18x "other illness, disability, or surgery."
Since medications that may be prescribed to treat symptoms are generally not allowed if used on a regular basis, most cases of sleep apnea are treated with CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) devices. More invasive surgical procedures are also performed, while less invasive procedures such as using an oral airway device are also an option.
For special issuance certification, an airman will need an initial sleep study in which the diagnosis is made and treatment options are determined. If the decision is made to use CPAP and the machine has the capability to produce a report of utilization and sleep efficiency, the sleep study and the CPAP report are adequate for certification.
However, if no download report is available, a Maintenance of Wakefulness Test (MWT) is required for initial certification. AME Assisted Special Issuance is typically issued with an annual follow-up for continued certification.
More information is available online.
If you have more questions, please call AOPA's Pilot Information Center to speak with one of the medical certification specialists, 800-USA-AOPA (872-2672), Monday through Friday, 8:30 – 6:00 p.m. Eastern Time.
Topics Pilot Health and Medical, Medical Certificate, Physiology, Special Issuance Medical, Airway, FAA Systems and Airspace, NTSB, Government Agencies, Pilots, Pilot Lifestyle, Maintenance, Aircraft Ownership, Certification, Aircraft Design
For pilots, the 60,000-plus-member Civil Air Patrol readily comes to mind when an aerial role in a rescue is launched.
AOPA is asking the FAA to withdraw a proposed airworthiness directive that could affect thousands of ECi cylinders.
The General Aviation Pilot Protection Act would allow pilots to use the driver's license medical standard for noncommercial VFR flights in aircraft weighing up to 6,000 pounds with no more than six seats, as long as they carry five or fewer passengers, fly below 14,000 feet msl, and fly no faster than 250 knots.
AOPA thanks our members for their continued support in protecting the freedom to fly.

A A+F Academics: I'm going to law school so...
A A+F Academics: Asian girls everywhere, UCLA. Yeah kids are smart. Realllllly smart.
B A+F Academics: TFT is... odd. They kind of isolate you from the rest of the college, but if you get out of the TFT Bubble, you will be glad you have that foundation. Also the professors are slightly insane but amazing. To be honest, it is a grad-centric program, but there aren't that many grad students, so undergrads get quite a lot of attention too.
B A+F Academics: There is such a wide variety of academic choices, it sometimes is hard just choosing which ones. One thing that is not so great, is that sometimes required courses aren't offered. Which is often aggravating
B A+F Academics: The Biochem major is great because you get the best of both worlds. Chemistry is hard but manageable if you have the right study partner.

Sorry, there are no reviews.
Written by Suzy Strutner
Professors at UCLA are, to say the least, qualified. Many of them hold graduate degrees from prestigious American universities, conduct ground-breaking research, and publish famed books and articles. Due to their class sizes and demanding research schedules, professors don't necessarily beg students to forge relationships. However, almost all hold regular office hours and are happy to reach out once students take the first step. Teaching assistants (TAs), while used widely, are much more sporadic. Some are highly knowledgeable, while others simply do not care about the material, often times making for unfair grading systems. A beacon of hope is that the deeper a student descends into a major, the more attentive professors become, and there are fewer TAs used in the upper-division classes.
Professors and TAs aside, most students agree that the workload at UCLA is manageable as long as procrastination remains the enemy. The quarter system breaks the year into three speedy 10-week chunks, so it's critical to attend lectures and complete work on time. One thing Bruins don't rave about is the course registration process. In a class network barraged by budget cuts, sections fill up quickly, and students' first-choice schedules rarely become realities. However, counselors are present and eager to help students navigate the treacherous course maze, and almost all students are able to fulfill the necessary requirements, even if it means taking that dreaded history seminar.

The victory was the fourth straight for Utah (38-36), which entered the night eighth in the Western Conference by virtue of its tiebreaker over the Lo Angeles Lakers.
Williams played better than he did in his first trip back in January 2012, but couldn't match the 3-point shooting of Utah. Foye made 8 of 9 and the Jazz hit 10 of 17 as a team.
The Jazz also forced 17 turnovers by the Nets.
Brook Lopez led Brooklyn (42-31) with 27 points. Williams had 21 on 6-of-14 shooting, with 11 assists.
Utah outscored Brooklyn 31-20 in the third quarter after trailing by two at half.
Both teams played Friday night, with the Nets losing by 22 in Denver and the Jazz rallying to win in Portland.
It was the Nets who were sloppy, forced into 17 turnovers that led to 19 Jazz points.
Brooklyn was playing again without guard Joe Johnson because of a right quad contusion.
Foye was coming off an 0-for-3 3-point effort Friday and opened third quarter with a turnover and missed 3. He then hit four straight to give Utah a 77-68 lead with 2:47 remaining in the third.
He would tie a franchise record with five 3s in the third.
His seventh 3 of the night put Utah up 88-76 with 10:52 remaining. His eighth gave Utah a 108-97 edge with 2:02 left.
Utah led by as many as 16 points, shooting 56 percent on the night.
Williams heartily greeted his former teammates, shaking hands before and after the game. But he received the same rude welcome from the fans that he did 14 months ago.
On his last trip to Utah, he started 0 of 3, was just 2 of 12 at halftime and finished with 16 points on 3-of-15 shooting as the Jazz beat the Nets 107-94 on Jan. 14, 2012.
Despite being booed every time he touched the ball, he came out much stronger Saturday. He opened 3 of 3 and had eight points in the first five minutes. But he couldn't sustain it.
The Jazz did everything they could to make it tough on him. Mo Williams went at him strong in the lane and Gordon Hayward came up with a huge block that brought the fans to their feet.
The Nets led 54-52 at halftime thanks to a 24-16 edge on the boards, including 11 by Reggie Evans.
Brooklyn used an 8-2 run to take a 42-41 lead with 6:28 left in the quarter on Andray Blatche's dunk after a second straight turnover by Mo Williams. Deron Williams' second 3-pointer, with 3:20 left in the half, put Brooklyn up 48-47 edge.
The battle became more physical in the second quarter with Hayward stuffing Deron Williams at one end and Evans delivering a hard foul on Paul Millsap on the fast break at the other. Evans picked up a second quick foul when he didn't get the charge call as Marvin Williams went to the basket hard, pulling Utah within 54-52.
The Jazz led 33-28 after one. There were 12 lead changes in the first six minutes and zero turnovers, with the Jazz shooting 80 percent (8 of 10) and the Nets 70 percent (7 of 10) during that opening span.
Al Jefferson and Mo Williams both had 20 points for Utah, which plays its next three at home.
C.J. Watson added 20 points off the bench for the Nets.

Rural Lender Advantage
The Small/Rural Lender Advantage (S/RLA) initiative is designed to accommodate the unique loan processing needs of small community/rural-based lenders by simplifying and streamlining loan application process and procedures, particularly for smaller SBA loans. It is part of a broader SBA initiative to promote the economic development of local communities, particularly those facing the challenges of population loss, economic dislocation, and high unemployment.
Key Features of the Initiative:
A streamlined, simpler, and more user friendly 7(a) process for small loans ($350,000 or less)
One page application (two sided) for very small loans with key, but limited additional information required for loans above $50,000
SBA guarantees 85 percent of loans of $150,000 or less and 75 percent of loans greater than $150,000
Loans centrally processed through SBA's Standard 7(a) Loan Processing Center
Expedited SBA processing with routine loans processed within 3-5 days
Lenders can transmit applications via fax and eventually online
Simplified SBA loan eligibility questionnaire to help small or occasional lenders meet SBA's eligibility requirements
Training on SBA program requirements from local SBA offices
B&I Guaranteed Loan Program
If your business is located in a rural community, you may qualify for special financing. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) currently maintains a Business and Industry (B&I) Guaranteed Loan Program. The USDA provides guarantees of up to 80 percent of a loan made by a commercial lender.
Uses for a B&I Loan
Proceeds from such a loan may be used for:
Working capital
Machinery and equipment
Buildings and real estate
Certain types of debt refinancing.
The B&I Loan Guarantee Program Fact Sheet provides all you need to know about obtaining one of these loans, including eligibility, loan terms and conditions, equity requirements, and interest rates. Like SBA loans, you need to go through your local bank or financial institution to apply for a B&I loan. If you have any questions about the B&I Loan Guarantee Program or other financial options, contact your state's Rural Development Field Office.

Five waterfalls cascade down Spanish Creek on March 5. During really high water, the rapids become Class 5 plus, according to Rick Stock, Outdoor Recreation Leadership program director at Feather River College. The rushing water provides inspiration for the Cascade Trail located six miles north of Quincy off Old Highway.Photos by Laura Beaton |
If you're looking for an easy hiking trail not far from Quincy that meanders along Spanish Creek and offers swimming, fishing, picnicking and some nice views, the Cascade Trail is just the ticket.
The Cascades are a small but impressive set of five waterfalls. During high water flows, a roaring stretch of white water, standing waves, swirling eddies and sheer rock faces and boulders gives the Cascades a wild, dangerous appearance.Kayakers can occasionally run those Class 5 plus rapids, said Outdoor Recreation Leadership instructor and program coordinator Rick Stock. But normally kayakers put in at Oakland Camp, portage around the Cascades, and ride class 3 and 4 rapids downstream.
According to Scott Lawson in his book "Trails of the Feather River and Yuba River Region," the trail was originally built in 1876 as the Maxwell Mining Co. Ditch. It was used to carry water about 10 miles down the Feather River Canyon to a hydraulic mine.
Lawson wrote that 10 years later the ditch was converted to a supply road for building the Western Pacific Railroad.
The railroad tracks are built high up the bank across the creek and run parallel to the trail and creek for about 2-1/2 miles.
A railroad tunnel bored through the hillside is visible from the Cascade Trail. Remnants of old camps established by railroad workers and gold miners — modern equivalents of which still work the stream — are strewn along the banks of the river.
In 2010, two trail bridges were constructed across crevices that drop precipitously down to the rushing river. The bridges were built using American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funds in 2010 by a Yuba City contractor who had to use a helicopter to bring in supplies.
Steep rocky escarpments attract moss, lichens and moisture-loving ferns in many places along the trail. |
The bridges replaced single planks that spanned the crevices; one had a cable "railing" imbedded in the rock face as a handhold.
Parts of the trail are narrow, slippery, washed out and potentially hazardous, so caution should be taken. The area is also prone to poison oak.
After hiking the mostly flat trail along Spanish Creek, an abrupt switchback heads up the steep mountainside and a strenuous climb takes the hiker to the top of a ridge affording a panoramic view of the surrounding area, including Spanish Peak.
There are numerous dirt roads going in many directions, but an eight-mile loop trail is navigable and a good description of it may be found at http://bit.ly/YZ22hV, posted by Quincy trail runner Joni May.
Getting there
To get to the trailhead, drive about six miles north of Quincy on Highway 70. Take the second Old Highway turnoff on the right. (If you get to Butterfly Valley Road a short distance beyond the turnoff, you have gone too far.)
Drive about a mile on the paved road, then turn left on a rough dirt road and continue another half-mile to the trailhead, which is unmarked but clearly visible.
There are primitive unofficial campsites along the way. Forest Service Assistant Planner Gretchen Jehle explained that dispersed camping is allowed on Forest Service land as long as appropriate guidelines are met.
A previously approved trail development project in the area has been cancelled, Jehle said. Trailhead improvements would have included installation of a vault toilet restroom, development of a parking area, accessible parking and improvement of the access road.
Instead of the Cascade Trailhead project, a more broadly scoped project, better suited to meet the needs of more recreational users, is currently in process for approval.
Mount Hough-South Park Trail
Go to Plumas National Forest's home page, fs.usda.gov/plumas, and click on Quick Links in the upper right corner to view the proposal and map of the new project.
The plan calls for a day use area near the Cascade Trailhead, as well as 16.6 miles of non-motorized and 35 miles of motorized trails, located "on both sides of the river."
Mount Hough District Ranger Mike Donald said, "We have received many positive comments about the proposed Mount Hough-South Park trail system. There have also been comments of concern regarding potential conflicts among trail user groups.
"The proposed trail system is intended to enhance the recreational experience and improve the local economy, which is sorely needed in Plumas County. The Forest Service will post educational trail etiquette signs and provide on-site monitoring forms for public comment.
"I believe if trail users strive for a cooperative tone in sharing the trail, it will be a fruitful endeavor and improve the quality of life in Plumas County," Donald concluded.
The user groups involved in the planning process include hikers, bikers, equestrians, off-road motorcyclists and quad riders, the Sierra Buttes Trail Stewardship, Sierra Access Coalition and the Forest Service.
Results of the project's environmental assessment will be released in May. If the decision is positive and no appeals are filed, trail work could begin this June, Donald said.
"What we're trying to do with this project is bring people together," Donald said. He explained that many folks are concerned with their own user experience — they are afraid other users will interfere with their enjoyment of public lands.
Donald contends that if we all get along and understand each other, if all user groups are educated on national forest multiple use policies, there will be less restriction and more access for all user groups.
Meanwhile, the Cascade Trail awaits exploration. Springtime brings beautiful blooming dogwood trees and a plethora of bright and fragrant wildflowers to delight the senses.

Let me get all picture editor on ya, and then Ill ask a question. Ive enjoyed working with Photoshop for years. So, I perked up when I heard that Adobe was releasing a web version. Its interesting that such a powerful imaging tool is becoming so democratized, but it concerns me that Adobe used this as their introduction image. I hope that people don't go crazy manipulating their photos. I ask you, what is the value of photography? I suggest that its most meaningful value is as a record. This happened. Let me show you, means a lot to me. Does photographys value as a visual record mean as much to you?
Adobe Systems Inc./AP
A screen grab shows Adobe Systems Inc. new basic photo-editing software which will be offered free online beginning Thursday, March 26. Photoshop Express will be completely Web-based so people can use it with any type of computer, operating system and browser.

Who knew that buying a house didn't end with buying a house... it involves toothbrush holders and toilet brushes and laundry hampers and blinds and curtains and mini garbage bins for the loo and kitchen islands and dining tables and .... lots of stuff. Stuff that involves going to 20 different shops because you can't find the right one!!!!! Our apartment seemed full. Our house seems empty and somewhat pathetic :)
Right now I'm trying to decide on curtains that both Ben and I will like. He's not available to go to the shop so I keep bringing them home and hanging them up for him to veto... we're on curtains number 4 and 5, let's keep our fingers crossed! What I have realized is that I'm going to have to sew blackout material on the back of these fashion curtains because they're much more sheer then they look in the shop! Even the ones that are lined! (oh, and while I"m on that, why line a dark brown curtain in white fabric, it totally discolours the curtain when the light shines through it, making it look purple). I think they'll look better at night. Now hanging:

I love the brown ones, as I like the contrast against the walls. The green/blue ones fade into the walls quite a bit.
I can't wait until I can decorate my first house...it another four years or so. - 8:07 PM

I like the brown too. Same reasons as SD.
Have you found any good home decorating blogs? - 7:11 AM
- medstudentitis said...
Liana - I'm on pinterest and have found some really nice stuff there.
Both curtains were rejected by Ben so back to the drawing board. Our walls are actually beige so the photos aren't accurate to our home but we're trying to introduce blue as an accent colour so maybe different blue ones would be good. - 7:44 AM

Chiming in late, but the blue. If Ben would ever agree to them.

How long after I stop this stuff do I begin to feel like me again? I vow never to touch any of this stuff again and im throwing my stash away, but its getting bad, and I couldnt understand, I did the math, and its the only solution. From what ive researched women and AI's for breast cancer can have serious depression issues. I just want to feel okay again, im in a really bad place. Skip the speeches on stupidity please, I need help, not to be cut down.


text: Hi everyone, i decided to install the expansion pack last week and play it in veteran difficulty. At the first times i played very smoothly and completed 5 missions very easily but after the tank missions come, i couldn't continue because of the extreme difficulty. For example in the sixth mission which is "First Strike", i played at least 20 times to complete this mission. After i complete that mission i feel relaxed but the next missions is harder than that one. I cannot deal with 15 tanks with my 2 tanks. Any suggestions??

Is there any?
{showing_my_age}In editing a .wad file for Doom2, it was possible to make creatures or items only appear on a specific level, so there could be an Imp in Not Too Rough, a Hell Knight in Hurt Me Plenty or a Baron Of Hell in Ultra-violence.{/showing_my_age}
I know the charts only include some notes for any skill level below Expert, but do they have notes that aren't the same on Expert, like strummed notes instead of HO/PO, and, particularly, does the same apply to vocals?
I suspect vocalists are stuck with the solo chart or the harmony chart and just get leeway, which would seem perfectly reasonable except I'm thinking of Think Of Me and Poor Wand'ring One, and they each have parts that just can't be made easy by giving some leeway but could be simply dropped from the chart or even, in Ultrastar, mostly cut from the .mp3 file and the chart for the easier version.
There will never be a day when I won't think of you for the easy, but the full thing ought to be available too, maybe as a bundle, AC/DC-style? I'd think "the whole show as a bundle" would be the way to do it anyway. Likewise, Yes, one! Yes, 'tis Mabel! really should be done properly. It's a show-stealer if it's done properly, which of course means it's a five-demon-heads moment in a three- or four-ball song. Damn this painfully slow, brand-new router. It's taking an age to find the one I had in mind. I think this is it. The "like" button is stuck down. You get the idea, anyway. Is there a way to have "Easy" skip much of the long notes and "Expert" make you sing them all, or would it have to be two versions of the song and two setlists?

WEIRD WINTER: The record-breaking snowfalls of 2009-10 in the eastern U.S. resulted from the combination of two periodic weather phenomena, experts say.

Just six months ago residents of the eastern U.S. were shoveling themselves out of the snowiest winter ever—weather that prompted mockery of global warming among some people. Now, scientists have a new explanation for why such anomalous snowstorms can coexist with global warming: The storms were kicked up by the convergence of two natural, large-scale weather patterns.
In order to better understand possible triggers of last year's media-dubbed "snowmaggedon," a team of scientists from Columbia University's Lamont–Doherty Earth Observatory analyzed more than 50 years of snow data as well as measurements of atmospheric pressure and sea-surface temperatures. They found that a combination of El Niño (periodic sea-surface warming in the tropical Pacific Ocean) with an unusual period of decreased variability in atmospheric pressure across the North Atlantic (known as the North Atlantic oscillation, or NAO) frequently results in a pile-up of snow in the mid-Atlantic region.
The NAO is a fluctuating pattern of air-pressure, extending from an area of low pressure that hovers over Iceland to a high-pressure region near the Azores, which helps to control the strength and direction of winds and storms across the Atlantic. When the NAO enters a negative phase, as it did last winter, the Icelandic low and the Azores high do not reach their respective pressure extremes. This causes freezing Arctic air to descend along North America's east coast. The researchers suggest that when those colder temperatures combined with the increased moisture delivered by El Niño, a greater amount of the precipitation in the area fell as snow.
The researchers were also able to use the atmospheric data to compute expected snowfalls for the 2009–10 winter, and found that their calculations matched well with what actually occurred.
A record-breaking 141.9 centimeters of snow buried Washington, D.C., last year, compared with the long-term average of 38.6 centimeters for the region.* Parts of Baltimore and Philadelphia were blanketed with more than 175 centimeters. Northwestern Europe was also cold and particularly snowy.
"What happened this past winter has nothing to do with climate change," says Richard Seager, senior research scientist and lead author of the study, which was published online July 26 in Geophysical Research Letters. He explains that although he does not doubt that human activity is altering the climate, individual weather events like last winter's blizzards cannot be used to make arguments for or against the reality of climate change.
Mark Serreze, director of the National Snow and Ice Data Center at the University of Colorado at Boulder who was not involved in the study, agrees. "What we saw last winter was just weather. The current heat wave is also weather," he says. He explains that although we have global warming, superimposed on the long-term warming trend are fluctuations in short-term weather patterns. "The NAO naturally varies between positive and negative phases, but last year it got stuck in a negative phase for a good part of the winter," Serreze says. "That was part of why it was so unusual."
Unfortunately, scientists will not be able to use this information to anticipate when massive snowstorms are likely to occur. Seager explains that El Niño events are predictable up to year in advance, because they are related to slowly evolving sea-surface conditions over the Pacific Ocean. By contrast, the NAO is primarily an atmospheric phenomenon, and is only predictable to the same extent as weather forecasting.

"I can't begin to say how impressed I was with this card & with the fast service & how well they were packaged! The card cost a little more than box retail stores but it was well worth it. They are sturdy & have more of a feel of an actual card than just a photo. The colors were perfect & looked just like they did on my computer. Thank you for a positive experience! I will shop here again!"
"We generally never send out a Christmas card from the dog. But this year we had too. We got a Rhodesian Ridgeback over the summer and he has the funniest personality. So of course this year would be the first year we would send a card from the dogs! I picked this card because it seems to go well with the picture & I just like the style of it. I like that the paper quality is card stock. Overall it fits our family's style the best."
"I liked that I could replace "The ____ Family" with "Merry Christmas!" The quality of the photos turned out great! I'm so excited to send the cards out! Thank you!"
"This card turned out so nice. I used a collage of family photos and used the "vintage" option to change the look of the photos a little. I love that Tiny Prints has that option. The neutral colors allow me to send these out for Chanukah, Christmas or New Years. I am extremely happy with my holidays cards."
"This is the first time I did a photo card uploaded to one of these sites. We received all sorts of compliments on this card. More importantly, we loved it. The matte finish and the quality of the card stock paper was impeccable. We picked this card because we were looking for more autumnal colors rather than the normal red and green holiday colors. Also loved the simplicity of the greeting. We changed our photo to a vintage coloring which looked great with the brown of the card and added a small photo of our dog to the back of the card. Thank you - we will remember you for all future events."
