Solving Solid and Fluid Mechanics Problems in the Cloud with mOSAICView Description Hide Description
An application for analysis of structures under static loading is ported to the cloud using the mOSAIC portable platforms-as-a-service. The new cloud application benefits from Web availability, elasticity, and fault tolerance, while being independent from the infrastructures-as-a-service provider.
A Case Study on a Quality Assurance Process for a Scientific FrameworkView Description Hide Description
In the quality assurance of scientific frameworks, both the special characteristics of scientific software and the large variability in frameworks must be accounted for. In previous research, the authors developed a process for handling the variability of a framework using software product line variability modeling. They described the design of a quality assurance process for scientific frameworks. This article reports on a case study analyzing the feasibility and acceptance by developers for two parts of the quality assurance process: variability model creation and desk-checking. The main results of the case study are that variability modeling is feasible for the development; however, a different variability modeling language is needed to be able to represent all important aspects. This study found acceptance of variability modeling and desk-checking.

OWNER HAS BEEN FOUND!!!! ONEIDA COUNTY HUMANE SOCIETY contacted me and said the owner had come in asking for help! Here's the story:
Steve Woller, local hot air balloon pilot, contacted me on Facebook asking for help. There was a cat stuck in a pine tree-about 25 feet up and had been there for over 30 hours. He had asked a "government" official person for help and they said they couldn't do anything. Steve tried to get the cat down but the cat was too high up. So, he came to me. I have obviously gained the reputation as someone that would do anything for animals, no matter how strange the request.
I was trying to calculate what size ladder I'd need to climb up and grab the cat. I've done it with my own cat so I was no stranger to the scary climb. But, first things first, I decided to ask, on air, if there was a Lake Tomahawk firefighter listening...we have a huge listening area so this was not that far-fetched. After my plea, the phone rang and it was Stephanie, the daughter of one of their firefighters. She called her dad and I took down her phone number. She called back about 45 minutes later and said the cat was rescued! He was safe but now what? Honestly, I didn't know!
Stephanie could take the cat for about a week. We also had to see if he had a microchip but we were planning in case he didn't. Thanks to our listeners, I contacted TWO humane societies in case they had a lost cat report. Sure enough, the owner of the Tree Cat showed up at the Oneida County Humane Society. Eight hours after the ordeal had begun, there was a connection between Stephanie and the cat owner. What a day!
We thank the Lake Tomahawk firefighter that helped us out. The eagles were eyeing him/her up for dinner. A great reminder to chip your pets...

2012 Compass Box Flaming Heart v3.0 Vatted Malt
A marriage of three different single malts, aged in American and French oak. This whisky shows the advantage of marrying whiskies from more than one distillery (when properly done). Vibrant, with a complex array of fruit (orchard fruit, sultana), sweetness (light toffee, marzipan, honeyed malt), spice (creamy vanilla, mocha, warming pepper), smoke (tar, smoked olive, coal), and lesser notes of toasted almond and beach pebbles. More smoke and tar on the palate than the nose, yet always in balance. Well played!

A beautiful French-Savoyard town, Brides les Bains was the designated Olympic Village for the 1992 Winter Olympics. Although village skiing is sparse, the high-speed Olympe gondola takes you from the centre of Brides les Bains to the heart of the Three Valleys skiing area in 25 minutes. It is also just 20 minutes drive to the La Plagne ski area. This is a gateway to some truly superb skiing and also home to the largest natural spa in the French Alps. Après ski here may not be as thriving as other resorts in the Three Valleys but there is still plenty to occupy everyone after a long day on the slopes. Bars and restaurants are plentiful and, for those looking for a late night, there are two nightclubs and the only casino in the Three Valleys. Brides les Bains is a great choice both for its superb spa facilities and access to a huge range of ski and snowboard terrain.
* Based on the Three Valleys ski region
Absolute beginners may find Brides les Bains challenging. Since there are no groomed slopes here, beginners will have to travel to and from other resorts. Nearby Méribel has good ski tuition, but few nursery slopes. Drag lifts are common, too. Quick learners will find plenty of smooth blue pistes to graduate onto.
The wonderful lift system throughout the Three Valleys gives keen skiers access to a stunning amount of terrain. Brides les Bains offers wonderful opportunities to cover many kilometres. Snowboarders and freestyle skiers will be delighted with Méribel's two terrain parks, Plattières and Moon Park.
There are a handful of off-piste runs which allow experts to ski from Méribel down to Brides les Bains village. A guide is recommended to ensure you navigate through the trees and bumps safely. Across the Three Valleys area there are countless challenges both on and off-piste.
Skiing with a family in Brides les Bains means that you are not staying near the slopes. A gondola ride to Méribel is necessary for access to kids clubs, kindergartens and ski schools. Once in Méribel, there are plenty of options. Le Club Saturnin offers childcare for those aged 18 months to 8 years. Les P'tits Loups kindergarten caters for children aged 3 to 5. Both these clubs offer ski lessons for children over 3. Méribel's ESF kindergarten and ski school meeting point is at the gondola arrival point from Brides les Bains.
Most of the surrounding villages boast summits above the 3000 m mark. The Three Valleys offer plenty of high altitude slopes and with such a good lift system, skiers and snowboarders should not find it difficult to reach these peaks.
Shaded, high altitude slopes are abundant across the Three Valleys. Each resort has a good coverage of snowmaking equipment, too, meaning that many pistes stay open well into May. Nearby Méribel is best covered in the early morning, whilst Les Menuires and Val Thorens generally have good snow conditions in the afternoon.
There is a lot to do off the slopes in Brides les Bains, however après ski is generally not as lively as in other Three Valleys resorts. The town's natural spa is a big focus, with relaxation and fitness courses offered here. Brides les Bains is the main shopping centre in the valley, there is also a cinema playing English and French speaking films on its two screens. Restaurants here offer wonderful Savoyard cuisine, and the bars have a friendly, low-key atmosphere. The two nightclubs and casino offer music and gaming into the night. The gondola between here and Méribel shuts at 5pm in the evening, so trips by bus can be organised for evenings out.
170 km (approximately 2 hours transfer). British Airways flies to Geneva from London Heathrow and London Gatwick.
190km (approximately 2 hours transfer). British Airways flies to Lyon from London Heathrow.

Many people I know find their community, support and friends through church. If you live a secular lifestyle, where do you find yours? I've had a difficult time since we moved to a new city five years ago finding a sense of community, a place to "belong." At various times in my life I've found it in my workplace, through volunteering, and even at my dd's previous school. Now none of those are really options (I work at home and my older dd is in high school). I belong to a couple of moms' groups, but the playgroups have fizzled out as kids have gotten to preschool age and they were mostly about getting kids together anyway. I volunteered a lot at a center for memory-impaired adults before Noe came along, but having a toddler at home I can't do it anymore (and to be honest, I did not find community there, although I did find purpose).
I've lately found myself a little envious of relatives who are very involved in their churches because of all of the support and cameraderie they have. When dh was watching "Sons of Anarchy" and I found myself feeling envious of the biker gang, however ("They always have so many friends around and they're always helping each other," I sighed to dh) I knew I had to figure something out!
I grew up involved in church and sometimes I miss the ritualistic aspect of it as much as the community. I've thought of trying out the local Unitarian Universalist congregation to see if it might fit my needs, but dh says he would never go (he didn't grow up with church and doesn't like having to belong to a group of people, plus he gets plenty of community bonding at work) so it would be just me. My parents, who are very devout evangelical Christians, might actually keel over if they knew I was considering it -- I think they'd rather I went to no church at all than to a "false" church. But I'm at a loss for other ways to fill that need. I have hobbies and have tried to meet people to connect with in those ways, but it's very haphazard. I'm looking for something regular. I've even thought about getting an outside job, but that doesn't seem to be something that will work out right now with dh's long hours and the cost of childcare in our area.
I don't want to have to join a biker gang!

I don't know how you survive it.
I don't know how you survive it.
Very sorry for the continued heartache and losses. I've been thinking about Sherry a lot still, and was talking to DH about her last night. Drake passed away some time in the year after I lost Esme, and I remember feeling just terrible for her. It was so hard to deal with all of the agony and the what-ifs already, and feeling guilty and wondering if we could have done anything differently, woken up a bit sooner, anything. It would have been just awful having outsiders compounding that tragedy by heaping accusations and trying to pin legitimacy on the horrible guilt that any mother feels when something goes wrong, let alone something that irrevocable and terrible. I missed her when she stopped posting on APA, and I think she did not have an easy time.
Dana, as someone who has lost a child, if you want to send something to your friend, I think it is touching to send a brief note saying something very simple and sweet and don't try to go into anything extra. Just say something like, "I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your daughter" (put her name). Let her know that you are thinking about her and if you want to offer, say that you are available to talk or ask her if there is anything you can do. I don't get upset or hold grudges easily, and usually assume the best of intentions, but I still remember that my boss never said one word of condolence when I was out on leave despite so many cards and calls and emails from co-workers and even the boss of my boss, who doesn't even know me. I still resent that a little bit. And people said some rude and funky things, unintentionally usually, but they could be hurtful. It's best to keep it short and sweet. If you look at the Stupid Comments Vent thread in Pregnancy and Infant Loss, you'll see some amazing things.
My house buying has hit another snag. It's so full of ups and downs, it's driving me crazy. Anyway, we agreed on a contract with the house that we're buying, but the selling of the house that has to happen first has been delayed. Ugh.
I had parent-teacher conferences for the twins on Monday. I left feeling so happy. Their teacher knows them so well, and seems to genuinely like them. She wants to make DD a playground ambassador, because she has a unique talent for finding children who are feeling sad or alone or not participating, and encouraging them to join in. There are two kids from each class who are assigned this task and DD is one of them. It makes her feel important and utilizes one of her special skills. She really is good at this. We once went to a free class at a Gymboree and DD helped round up all the kids in the room and got them to participate in the games by making them sound super-fun, and she would lead the smaller babies over by the hand gently. She loves this stuff. The teacher said she does get a little impatient and needs to be more careful when she writes, but she reads well above her grade level and can read books on her own.
She told me that DS needs to work more on keeping his hands to himself and sitting still during 'circle time' (although it's not really circle time). She says that often she will just let him go back to his desk and color, since she can tell he's paying attention and it helps him to have something to do. She said that he has an extraordinary ability with math and science and is very good at communicating how he does his work, both to her and to other students. She said that he explained the concept of shadows to someone else the other day and he did as well as any teacher would. She checked with me to see if any of this came as a surprise, and I told her no, and the things that they needed improvement on were more pronounced at home than at school. I'm just so glad she's their teacher. DS spent two years at preschool and his teacher for the last year, in a class of 8 kids, gave him a story about a puppy. DS thanked her politely but asked us later why she gave it to him. It showed all of us that she really didn't know him at all.
This teacher, in less than 8 weeks and a class of 25, knows DS better than that one did in 2 years.
I really love this school.
Ack, I meant to add more, but don't want to edit. I am getting so little sleep and I'm still sick and it's driving me crazy and making me short-tempered.
Last night DS woke me up to tell me he didn't know where he was but he wasn't concerned about it.
Then at 4:30 AM DD woke up and didn't say much of anything, except she came into the room for a moment and then stomped through the rest of the house, turning on lights, getting arts and crafts supplies out, waking up Toddler S., and waking up everyone else before going back to bed. S. never went back to sleep, so I was up from 4:30 on. I couldn't help but be annoyed at her. She has been doing one project after another, but this is ridiculous, and her excuse was, "I wanted to do a project, and I forget we had a baby in the house."
GRRRR. I have not been in a great mood today.
Wow, that must have been frustrating that she was up so early making noise. Josh does that too, bounds into the room talking full volume, climbing on the bed, etc. BUt of course we don't have a baby to disrupt, so it's just sort of a minor irritation when we want to sleep a bit later LOL
It's wonderful that your teacher knows the kids so well. It sounds like she is bringing out the best of their personalities.

Sounds like the twins have a really great teacher. I'm so glad.

L, that school story rocks! I love that too, that she knows them so well and utilizes their strengths, drawing out of them what comes naturally. That is a true teacher in every sense of the word. Yay.
I have thought of you and Esme more than once when i think of Sherry and of her losing Drake and what she must have gone through. I say that with a hug as I would if we were standing in an room together because I don't know that any words would suffice exactly what I'm feeling when I think of you and Esme. But I know that a hug would.
Oddly enough my whole house was awake last night at about the same time. It struck me because first Kai came into my room and he is quiet as a mouse. He just tugs on my toe and asks if he can climb up. A few minutes later though, Savana came in and I run a fan in her room to begin with because she is right off the living room where dbf can't get the tv on fast enough once I tuck the kids in. So there is no way she heard Kai tiptoe into my room. And then Sawyer was up in minutes. I always wonder what kind of energy is running through the house to wake us all up like that.
Savana is seriously high on homeschooling right now. lol. she is so eager to learn that I can barely keep up with up her. All day today she is saying to me things like, "Why did humans evolve and not other animals? Why do humans hold guns to hunt cheetah skins instead of cheetahs holding guns and hunting our skins? How did it happen that humans started keeping dogs and cats as pets?" She even said to me that she knows dogs and cats over millions of years became smaller to adapt to the environment of living inside a house which is much smaller than a forest. Her mind really truly amazes me.
So I need to give her the tools to gather the information she is looking for. Any ideas? I'm having a hard time finding literature that can break it down for a 7 year old. And really it's not as simple as humans evolving from from apes but that we all evolved from similar ancestors. Correct?
Bridget, here is a picture that shows which twig the humans are on the tree of life:
And yes, we all evolve from similar ancestors. The whole site is very good for teaching evolution, and it shows that it's a constant process of adding new information that we learn.
L. The kid's school sounds great.
I don't know how y'all wake up that early. I'm so glad Rich is a natural early riser and just let me sleep in. That was something we didn't really discuss...it just worked out that anything that happened after 9:00 p.m. but before 3:00 a.m. was my deal. Anything after 3:00 a.m. till 9:00 a.m. (unless one of us had to work, of course) was Rich's deal. We both got our natural preferred sleep in that way.
Oh shoot-I was gonna say I read all the posts, but I'm exhausted from the Glen Campbell concert I took my dad to tonight. It was truly awesome. If anyone even remotely liked his music, you really should go see him perform. He's 76 years old and has Alzheimer's, but you wouldn't know it to hear him sing or hear him play his guitar. He's a wonderfully talented man and you can't really appreciate how much just watching youtube videos.
There is an interesting article here about the rapid domestication of foxes, and how to draw conclusions about domestication in general.
Both would agree that the animals most likely to be domesticated were those predisposed to human contact. Some mutation, or collection of mutations, in their DNA caused them to be less afraid of humans, and thus willing to live closer to them. Perhaps they fed off human refuse or benefited from inadvertent shelter from predators. At some point humans saw some benefit in return from these animal neighbors and began helping that process along, actively selecting for the most amenable ones and breeding them. "At the beginning of the domestication process, only natural selection was at work," as Trut puts it. "Down the road, this natural selection was replaced with artificial selection."
Where Andersson differs is in what happened next. If Belyaev and Trut are correct, the self-selection and then human selection of less fearful animals carried with it other components of the domestication phenotype, such as curly tails and smaller bodies. In Andersson's view, that theory understates the role humans played in selecting those other traits. Sure, curiosity and lack of fear may have started the process, but once animals were under human control, they were also protected from wild predators. Random mutations for physical traits that might quickly have been weeded out in the wild, like white spots on a dark coat, were allowed to persist. Then they flourished, in part because, well, people liked them. "It wasn't that the animals behaved differently," as Andersson says, "it's just that they were cute."
Thanks for that info, Lydia!
We are off to the museum at alst to check out Leonardo's ideas. And for me to pick up my wallet!
L, thank you for responding. I, too, have been thinking about you and Esme these last few days.
D-Mama (37) D-Dada (43) and D-Baby (11/02/2011)
Chrissy, so glad you had a good time with your dad at the concert. My folks were big Glen Campbell fans. We had a lot of his records, my favorite song was his most famous song, Rhinestone Cowboy.
Shelley-mom to DS, 6
Just a quick glance and looks like some good options there. You could probably get at least some from the library.
I would probably start with this one http://www.amazon.com/Evolution-Eyew...ords=evolution
Looks like a good series and just glanced through the human body one and that looks good too. They say ages 8 and up but I think that your kids are a bit advanced in their thinking skills!
I'm not sure I know much glen campbell.
My parents liked the Beatles, Pink Floyd, Led Zepplin, Michael Jackson, Mamas and Papas, Beach Boys, Elton John, Rod Stewart....just to name a few.
And Kate you would like this one....my dad even really got into NKTB. He stood in line all night in wet 40 degree weather to get us tickets to the concert....I got sent to sleep in the warmer dry car since I was only 11 (he had the car within sight). I also believe that dad has a full set of the trading cards. LOL
But the Beatles are his ultimate. Current music....dad LOVES Lady Gaga and says he is a little monster....an almost 60 yr old little monster. LOL Also really likes Evanescence and has a picture of himself with the lead singer.
Anyone in the path of "Frankenstorm"? Our governor has already declared a state of emergency, and it's not even due here until Sunday night.
We're in the list of possible areas. Since we were just flooded last year really bad, a lot of my neighbors are really worried.
They're saying it's worse conditions than the Perfect Storm in 1991 (you may remember the movie?) That was 100-some million in damage. This one they believe will hit 1 billion because it's the same conditions, but predicted to be more in-land and hitting much more populated areas than the Perfect Storm did.
Dana, I'm sorry about your friend. I have a feeling she'd appreciate a brief sympathy reach-out at this point.
L... Firstly, I'm sorry about the house process. Is the selling of your dad's ranch written into the contingencies? Secondly, *double-hugs* to you for any pain that has bubbled up about Esme from the recent sad events surrounding Sherry. It must be so hard to be confronted with painful reminders when you least expect them. I'm in awe of how you've lived thru her loss and so much other stuff and come out without bitterness or cynicism.
If Sherry's husband was the d-bag he sounds like, then I especially hope her littler ones are being cared for by someone they can trust. Hopefully, they can turn to the older sibling(s) for support at this point.
If it's any consolation to those going without sleep, I've been deprived of it since 4 am. Bodhi & I are out of town together without DH, and he's using me as a body pillow.
Oh, and some of you already know this, but I was offered a new job contract at a biotech firm this week, starting a week from Monday, at a pretty good pay bump. I had 7 yrs exp @ Pfizer working on disease
management apps, which def came in handy during my 4.5 (grrr) hour interview. It'll be nice to work on some patient-centric products again (although, my projects will include drug clin trial software too), rather than just financial applications. It's way more satisfying. Plus, I get to work on both Salesforce and mobile (phone/tablet) platforms, which will be new experience that other companies are always looking for on resumes. Oh, and my commute is a piece o' cake. I'll be driving instead of taking the train this time. Feeling optimistic about the upcoming changes.
Kate, have you gotten any good advice to pass on from the Spirited Child book? I'm book back-logged, especially after a book I had on hold came available at the library, while at the same time, my sister handed me a signed copy of "The Magic of Reality" by Richard Dawkins as a present. Then yesterday, at a crafts market, I couldn't resist picking up a signed copy of a book that came out by this awesome blogger I used to follow. So I really want to pick up that book, Kate, but please do share highlights, if you don't mind.
Suja, stay safe from Frunkenshtorm!! (How can we type umlauts in our posts here? ;))
Whoops, forgot to add to my book tally that a used copy of The Happiness Project by Gretchen Rubin also came in the mail last week. I'd purchased it when I was still in MA earlier this month and feeling pessimistic and too attached to my present job. I figured I needed the shot of optimism; maybe its physical presence in the house was all I needed. So anyway, I just wanted to accurately portray my book backlog. ;) That is all.
Did you see this just came out last month? http://www.amazon.com/Happier-Home-E...s+home+project
It's funny because so often I see books mentioned on here that we have in our library....the non-fiction ones at least. I look through all our new stuff coming in and think, oh that looks good, that looks good, that looks good. But than end up using all my reading time on fiction from the public library instead (where I'm a naughty librarian and tend to run an overdue fine!) Just a donation, right? LOL
Myles, there have been some interesting revelations in the spirited child book. Right now it's talking about introverts vs. extroverts and how intros need quiet and alone time to recharge and extros need to be around people and draw energy from them. Being an introvert, you'd think I'd understand that but I've always had kind of a hard time with Josh not wanting to talk about his day. I've learned that sometimes it can take all day for him to open up about things that happened. Usually around bedtime he will tell me a thing or two. Bedtime was when he told him about the girl who was being mean to him.
I've learned to let him do his own thing pretty much as much as he wants. I figure he's at school doing what everyone wants him to do all day. There can't be a lot of harm in letting him watch tv or play on the xbox for 45 minutes when he gets home. It's hard when there are things I need done like raking leaves, and he doesn't want to come outside with me. Sometimes it's a struggle to get him to come outside and a struggle to get him to come back in! I'm looking forward to getting to the part about transitioning...timers don't work, warnings don't work, an incentive doesn't work...arg. But now that I'm not working I try to get all the "must do" things done during the day.
Do you think Bodhi is more an introvert or extrovert? How does he recharge, is he always talking himself through things, or does he seem to think a lot and then do, etc.
I wanted to edit to say that Josh mostly shows extrovert behaviors but I think his need to recharge from within is one of the few introvert traits he has.

Hi. I've come to realize that I really don't have friends IRL. I don't know where else to go with this so here I am. My 15 year old son came out to me the other night. I've always had a clue but never tried pressing him to tell me. I'm sad for him (is that bad??). He told a few of his friends and they're all ok with it and most already had an idea that he was. They told him that he should tell me so he has. I am going nuts. What do I do?? I haven't brought it up since then and don't know how to approach it. If I should approach it at all. I'm so nervous that something will happen with his friends. You know how it is at that age. You are no longer friends with the same people from one year to the next or you have a falling out. I remember whenever that happened that's when all the secrets came out. I think my son has a lot to lose if his "secret" comes out and wish he hadn't told anyone. Is that bad??
I can only think of one person I can talk to IRL and I don't want too in case he changes his mind. What is wrong with me?? He's not making choices. It is what it is. I don't know how to handle this. I love my son and I don't want this for him. How bad is that?? I support him though and won't try to somehow change the way he feels. I would not do that. Ever. My first thought was well I can deal with this. At least he doesn't act all girly or dress like a woman. Like that makes this easier. But what if he did?? I just feel guilty for all the feelings I'm feeling.
He doesn't want his dad to know and I'm ok with that. I told him when he's ready he can tell him. Even if that's a week from now or two years from now. His dad is very homophobic and will not accept it at all right off the bat. I honestly don't know if he ever will, but I want to believe he will. He is the type of person to find someone to blame for everything that happens. And somehow this will be my fault.
My son has been doing poorly in school this year and this is a big reason why. He was worried about telling me. He says he is happy now and can focus on school. I feel bad for getting so mad at him for doing such a bad job in school. Why didn't I see that he was going through this??
I don't know if I will keep this up or not, but I needed to get this out. Now that I have I want to cry. What happens next??

Mass Effect Collector's Edition DetailedMicrosoft Game Studios announced the details of its previously mentioned collector's edition for BioWare's forthcoming sci-fi epic RPG Mass Effect today. Surprisingly, the collector's edition has yet to make an appearance on GameStop, Amazon.com, or any other retailer's website.
The limited edition will include a tie-in novel called "Galactic Codex: Essentials," an art book for the game entitled "A Future Imagined," and a bonus DVD with videos about the art and interactive storytelling the developers put into the title.
Microsoft gave no indication of pricing for the collectible version of the game, but it's safe to assume it will retail at the standard $10 premium of $69.99 alongside the regular edition of Mass Effect. The game is scheduled for a November 20 release.

PMC's Education Efforts Take Production Team to the Aquarium
PMC's Education Efforts Take Production Team to the Aquarium
As part of our regional Public Media Connect education efforts throughout Southwest Ohio, ThinkTV is working with Jenny Montgomery, an art teacher at the Dayton Regional STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) School. Jenny is at the forefront of STEAM (STEM + Art) and she's working with biology classes and multimedia classes at the Dayton Regional STEM School to create instructional resources for younger children who visit the Newport Aquarium.
The project is actually part of a partnership between the STEM School and the WAVE Foundation, the charitable arm of the Newport Aquarium. In addition to being involved in the creation of these videos and resources, ThinkTV plans to document the project and discuss this new problem-based-learning model as applied to STEM if additional funding becomes available.
This project is still in the early stages, but we thought you all might like to see some photos and a quick behind-the-scenes video of some adorable penguins. During the video, listen closely to hear biologist Dan Clady explain why penguins sneeze!

Onnit Alpha BRAIN
Item# onn-1001
$31.46 - $69.99
Availability: .
Shipping: International shoppers: We CANNOT currently ship supplements to Australia, Ecuador, Greece, Mexico, Norway, Russia, or Spain. Sorry for the inconvenience.
The idea behind Alpha BRAIN was to create a fully-balanced nootropic. Our Alpha GPC and Huperzia Serrata contain nutrients that help your body turn up acetylcholine levels full throttle while other ingredients assist in elevating neurological components vital to remaining calm, focused, and mentally driven. Our Vinpocetine can help the body deliver oxygen and nutrients to the brain, and the combination of neuro-specific antioxidants, led by our proprietary AC-11®, assists your system in clearing away mental fog and free radicals. The result for our thousands of satisfied customers is an extraordinary combination of lucid dreams, mental drive, focus, and mental acuity.✝
What is it that separates the great minds from the good minds? Raw intelligence is a factor; but what else? Is it the ability to quickly access information? Is it the ability to efficiently store learned information? Is it the ability to induce connections between seemingly unrelated events? Is it the ability to stay focused and determined? The knack for staying calm in tense situations and driven towards your goals? If that is what makes a great mind, then Alpha BRAIN is the ideal brain food. Containing nutrients designed to help the body elevate levels of major neurotransmitters, Alpha BRAIN can help you to actualize your mind's true potential.✝
"It seems to fire up your brain at a higher RPM level... I feel like it helps me form sentences better."
A study done on acetylcholine boosting drugs had an interesting side effect: vivid, and often lucid dreams. This led researchers to study the mechanism further, and what they found was something that sleep experts had known all along: acetylcholine is the neurotransmitter responsible for regulating REM sleep. The more acetylcholine available, the more persistent and broad the REM cycles for the subjects studied. Alpha BRAIN is designed to be of the most potent acetylcholine-enhancing nutrient based supplements available, and the results on the dream state go beyond expectations. Where will you travel? What will you create? Its all up to you.✝
"Alpha BRAIN definitely helped me. Awesome, awesome lucid dreams. Onnit has my seal of approval."
The Amazonian rainforest is the home of cat's claw, revered by traditional cultures for its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and immune-boosting properties. After years of research, the creators and founders of AC-11 developed a hot water extraction process based on a proprietary molecular sieving technology, creating AC-11 — The Rainforest Super Herb. The results are a compound shown in clinical study to repair DNA. It is placed in the Alpha BRAIN formula to help the body improve mental drive and eliminate mental fog. AC-11 is the perfect joining of the rainforest's secrets with the miracle of today's advancements in phytonutrient science.✝
"My 3rd tourney "Onnit," and I'm already 2x chip average... leveraging my Alpha BRAIN advantage!"
Every athlete knows what it feels like to be in the zone. Your focus is sharp, your anticipation is quick, and you execute effortlessly. An entire field of sports psychology has grown up around how to prepare the athlete's mind to get into this state. Certainly emotional and psychological factors play a role, but what if it is something to do with your actual brain chemistry? What if enhanced acetylcholine not only increases your mental focus, but your physical focus as well? What if enhanced dopamine levels improve athletic dexterity instead of just general locomotion? What if certain herbs and nutrients can help keep you cool and collected during the trials and tribulations of competition?
Reports from the thousands of Alpha BRAIN users points to one thing: Yes. There are golfers scoring lower than they have in years. There are tennis players beating people they never have before. There are grapplers submitting people way above their belt. There are strikers recognizing targets faster than they ever have. Could this all be coincidence? It's possible… But for those who experience the effects, they can feel it happening. The Alpha BRAIN athletic phenomonenon is real. Take a look at some of our pro athletes, and read their testimonials. Give it a try yourself, and let us hear your amazing story.

Comments about Onnit Alpha BRAIN:
I started using Alpha Brain a few weeks ago with great results. Don't expect to go from an average Joe to super smart or anything like that. I definitely feel more focused and dialed in on tasks. I work and go to school full-time and I am also very active. Alpha Brain gives me that little edge I need to perform mental and physical tasks better.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Aries are the pioneers of the Zodiac, and this is certainly true where travel is concerned. Ever on the go and seeking action, the Ram is a moving target. 'What am I going to do today? Is it hot? risky? different?' are the kinds of questions Aries will ask themselves when they're on the road. And don't expect them to hang around very long for an answer, as they'll soon be someplace else.
Those born under the first sign of the Zodiac want to learn a little about a lot -- knowing who built those pyramids in Giza and when is good information, whereas the why can be saved for someone else. Safe to say that old flick 'If this is Tuesday, it must be Belgium' was filmed with an Aries in mind!
Hopping from one place (and adventure) to the next, the Ram sets the agenda and expects others to follow it. No takers? Well, Aries are happy to travel alone, in which case they'll seek some company along the way, even if only for a meal or a night. Sexy as they are, it would be a waste to spend every night alone! Again, the stimulation of new people and new places is what the Ram craves when traveling, and the more active the journey, the better.
