NFL player's cardiac arrest spurs new wave of unfounded claims about COVID vaccines
Physicians interviewed by AP say there's no evidence Damar Hamlin's emergency was caused by his vaccine status, adding that there's been no increase in cardiac arrests among vaccinated athletes.
Unfounded claims about the safety of COVID-19 vaccines proliferated in the hours and days after Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin collapsed during Monday's game, revealing how pervasive so-called vaccine misinformation remains three years after the pandemic began.
Even before Hamlin was carried off the field in Cincinnati, posts amassing thousands of shares and millions of views began circulating online claiming without evidence that complications from COVID-19 vaccines caused his health emergency.
While cardiac specialists say it's too soon to know what caused Hamlin's heart to stop, they've offered a rare type of trauma called commotio cordis as among the possible culprits. Physicians interviewed by The Associated Press say there's no indication Hamlin's vaccine status played a role, and said there's no evidence to support claims that a number of young athletes have died as a result of COVID vaccinations.
Peter McCullough, a Dallas cardiologist and outspoken vaccine critic, amplified the theories on a Fox News segment hosted by Tucker Carlson on Tuesday, speculating that "vaccine-induced myocarditis," may have caused Hamlin's episode. While the Bills have not said whether Hamlin was vaccinated, about 95% of NFL players have received a COVID-19 vaccine, according to the league.
January 5, 2023
In his Tuesday segment, Carlson claimed McCullough and another researcher found that "more than 1,500 total cardiac arrests" have occurred among European athletes "since the vax campaign began."
But Carlson was citing a letter in which the authors' evidence was a dubious blog that lists news reports of people all over the world, of all ages, dying or experiencing medical emergencies. The blog proves no relationship between the incidents and COVID-19 vaccines; it also includes in its count reported deaths from cancer and emergencies of unknown causes.
"It's not real research, but he quotes it as if it's real research," said Dr. Matthew Martinez, director of sports cardiology at Atlantic Health System in Morristown Medical Center. "Anybody can write a letter to the editor and then quote an article that has no academic rigor."
Many social media users have also shared deceptive videos that purport to show athletes collapsing on-field because of COVID-19 vaccines. However, several of the cases shown have been proven to be from other causes.
Though anti-vaccine influencers have insisted that sudden cardiac arrests during sports games are unprecedented, cardiologists say they've observed these traumatic events throughout their careers, and long before the COVID-19 pandemic.
"There have always been cases of athletes having sudden cardiac death or cardiac arrest," said Dr. Lawrence Phillips, sports health expert and cardiologist at NYU Langone Health. "I have not seen a change in the prevalence of them over the last couple of years versus earlier in my career."
In fact, Phillips said, these rare medical emergencies are the main reason that doctors and activists have spent years campaigning for defibrillators to be on standby at sporting events.
That push, and the implementation of emergency action plans, has improved outcomes after cardiac events on the playing field, even as the number of such events has remained "remarkably stable," Martinez said.
Martinez, who has worked for the National Football League, National Basketball Association, National Hockey League and Major League Soccer, said he has investigated but not seen any signal that COVID-19 or vaccines are causing an increased incidence of cardiac events among athletes.
His research shows that among professional athletes who have had COVID-19, rates of inflammatory heart disease were about 0.6% — showing no increased risk compared to other viruses.
Online posts mentioning Hamlin and vaccines soared into the thousands within one hour of Hamlin's collapse, according to an analysis conducted for the AP by Zignal Labs, a San Francisco-based media intelligence company.
It's not surprising that misleading claims about COVID-19 vaccines surged following Hamlin's cardiac arrest, given how much vaccine misinformation has spread since the pandemic began, said Jeanine Guidry, a Virginia Commonwealth University professor who researches health misinformation and vaccine hesitancy.
High-profile public events like Hamlin's collapse often create new waves of misinformation as people grasp for explanations. For people concerned about vaccine safety, Hamlin's sudden collapse served to affirm and justify their beliefs, Guidry said.
"This happened to a person in the prime of their life, on primetime television, and the people watching didn't immediately know why," she said. "We like to have clear answers that make us feel safer. Especially after the last three years, I think this is coming from fear and uncertainty."
Similarly unfounded claims about vaccine injuries surged last month following the death of sports journalist Grant Wahl, who died of a ruptured blood vessel in his heart while covering the World Cup in Qatar. His death was not related to vaccines.
Ian Rappaport of NFL Network reported Thursday that Hamlin is responsive, has opened his eyes and is "gripping the hands of those close to him." Hamlin had been placed in a medically induced coma after arriving at the hospital on Monday.
The Bills tweeted Thursday that while Hamlin remained in critical condition, he "has shown remarkable improvement over the past 24 hours."
"Per the physicians caring for Damar Hamlin at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center, Damar has shown remarkable improvement over the past 24 hours. While still critically ill, he has demonstrated that he appears to be neurologically intact. His lungs continue to heal and he is making stead progress," the team wrote.

The Circular Walkway in Brisbane
Hilarious Australian coastal Rivalries
I've noticed something about Australians that fascinates me. I don't know if this is ALL Australians or not… and I hate to generalize… but… it's been my experience so far…
They are all obsessed with one region of a Australia or another! I've heard so much contradicting stuff that I can't make heads or tails of: "Oh my gawd – people from the Gold Coast! Can you believe!" or "Those people in Sydney, you know." or "Melbourne – it's like – I mean, come on!" or "Brisbane – now that is a place, well, you know." It's this kind of stuff over and over again. No matter where I go, a significant part of the conversation is quite analytical about people from another part of Australia. It's the funniest thing and it cracks me up!

In commercial real estate brokerage it is easy to get distracted and diverted from the things that matter. If your business relies heavily on sales commissions then it pays to have a good long look at your action goals. Get the most important issues well under control and ensure that they are helping you grow market share and commission income.
Far too many agents fail to get a system of action going at a personal level to help grow their business; they then struggle for too long with low listing numbers and slower deal conversions.
Action and focus are facts of the industry that cannot be delegated to others; we are individually responsible for the results we achieve. To get to good listing growth and negotiation outcomes, real effort is required. Are you up to the challenges?
What are the important facts?
So what should you focus on in your real estate business? What are the things that matter in helping you grow opportunity? Try some of these:
- Database numbers – Understand how many people you have in your database now. Set targets for growing those numbers each week. If you are prospecting for new business every day then that should not be a difficult process.
- Listing types and numbers – There is a big difference in conversions between exclusive listings and open listings. Open listings will generally waste a lot of time, so seek to convert more listings exclusively, and design your property presentations to suit.
- Levels of inbound inquiry – From all of your marketing efforts understand who is calling you and why that is the case. Soon you will see the types of advertising that attracts people to your business. You will also see the property types that are creating better levels of inquiry.
- Marketing money (vendor paid marketing) – As part of any exclusive listing process, the marketing funds that you convert from your clients as 'vendor paid' will help greatly in building inquiry. Any quality listing should be treated in that way. Design your listing pitch and presentation so that vendor marketing funds are integrated into the client's final listing decision and appointment. To achieve greater levels of marketing money conversion you should make every marketing campaign special and unique.
- Prospecting processes – In setting up a prospecting model for new business generation, you can look at the ratios of calls to meetings, and meetings to listings. Over time the sheer volume of client contact that you implement should see a compounding process happening.
To get results in commercial real estate brokerage, watch the actions that you take, and then look for the indicators or results occurring in each case. Improve your actions each day as an agent and soon the market share you are creating will grow.

INDIANA, (WOWO): Lilly Endowment Incorporated is giving money to Indiana colleges to help improve employment opportunities for college grads.
Thursday morning it was announced that the state's 39 accredited colleges will be awarded 62.7 million dollars. A number of local colleges including St. Francis, Trine, and Huntington will each be given $1 million dollars from the grant money, while the IU Foundation and Purdue Research Foundation will each see $5 million.
Officials say, while progress has been made, Indiana college graduates continue to have difficulty finding jobs within the state and they believe the grants will be another step in the right direction.

PowerHouse Alliance members will showcase their diverse skill set with a wide variety of dealer trainings and new events in April.
Last month, PowerHouse Alliance and CEDIA announced a partnership specifically through PHA member Volutone offering a series of residential networking training sessions throughout the distributor's territory. The workshop continues on April 2 in Las Vegas. Training consists of two courses: IP for Technicians and Wireless Network Technologies. These workshops are part of the CEDIA pathway to mastering the network and will help participants prepare for CEDIA's residential networking specialist certification exam.
"We are honored to serve such an integral role in the partnership between CEDIA and PowerHouse to offer these in-demand training sessions," said Trevor Hansen, vice president at Volutone. "This series of workshops at Volutone locations will give dealers the opportunity to further their necessary networking product knowledge and sharpen the skills they will need to become a CEDIA Residential Networking Specialist."
Portland, OR-based Electrical Distributing Inc. (EDI) is also entering new territory this coming month and will be participating in the Third Annual Pacific Northwest Consumer Electronics Expo on April 7-8 in Bellevue, WA. As one of just three distributors participating, EDI will be offering exclusive show discounts to the over 400 anticipated dealers in attendance. The two-day event also features a series of intense training sessions from in-demand manufacturers.
"This show allows dealers that could not attend CES the chance to see the latest in home audio, custom audio, and 12-volt products, all conveniently in one place," said Marty Cronin, president of EDI. "We're anticipating 125+ manufacturers and 400+ dealers from Oregon, Washington, Alaska, Idaho, and even Canada. Alongside two days of intense training, dealers will also have access to exclusive show specials, more competitive than what was available at CES. Better yet, dealers that take advantage of EDI's show specials will be eligible to win an Ultra High Definition TV."
Sustained Nationwide Training
Members are also continuing to execute a unified training slate, consisting of additional opportunities for dealers to stay abreast of the ever-evolving home control and automation landscape. Ultimate Integration, Volutone and ECD are all hosting URC Total Control or CCP training sessions at a variety of locations throughout the month of April. Ultimate Integration's sessions are up first, starting April 1 and 2 in Clifton, NJ. The distributor will also host two additional Total Control trainings the following week on April 8 and 9 at their Hauppauge, NY, location.
For dealers in the south, ECD will start its URC CCP trainings for the month at its Houston location on April 21 and move on to Austin and Dallas the following two days. Volutone will close out the URC trainings for the month with several two-day sessions happening across its territory starting April 20 in Simi Valley, CA and San Diego, CA. It will then move along to Van Nuys, CA, and Ontario, CA, on April 22, Cerritos, CA, on the 27, and wrap up in Las Vegas and Irvine, CA, on Wednesday, April 29.
Integrators looking for lighting control trainings can visit both MRI and Volutone, which will be hosting Lutron sessions throughout the second week of April. MRI's session will take place in Marlborough, MA on April 7 and Volutone will host back-to-back sessions in Ontario, CA and Las Vegas on April 8 and 9.
Additional April training sessions and events sponsored by PowerHouse members across the United States include:

Bowling in the US is dominated by 10-pin bowling, but there are several other types of bowling that have different rules, equipment, and methods of play. Some use pins and balls that are different from regular 10-pin bowling, such as candlepin bowling and bowls.
Origins of Nine Pin Bowling
Nine-pin bowling (also known as kegel) is very different from 10-pin, and not just because there's one less pin. For example, 9-pin is a team game, so there are no individual scores. There are six players on a team, and each player takes two turns. Another major difference from 10-pin bowling games is that the pins in 9-pin are not re-set between each player. Instead, the next player simply picks up where the previous player left off until all the pins have been knocked down, at which point the pins are re-set. Another twist in 9-pin: the pins are set up in a diamond formation instead of a triangle. The pins are white, except for the center pin, which is red and is known as a "12-pin" or "redhead." If a player knocks down every pin in one turn, they are awarded 9 points. However, if they manage to knock down all the pins except the red pin, they are awarded 12 points, as this is a much harder feat. The pins the pins are configured in a diamond shape, with a red pin in the middle. All games of 9-pin are manually set by a human pin-setter. Each game is 6 frames. There are two turns per frame, even if all pins are knocked down on the first turn.
In the 1830s, several cities in the United States banned nine-pin bowling out of moral panic over the supposed destruction of the work ethic, gambling, and organized crime. Kegel remains popular in Europe and enjoys a cult-like following in central Texas, thanks to the large German population that settled there. Ninepin alleys were numerous enough in Texas by 1837 that rather than a ban, the 1st Congress of the Republic of Texas chose to subject them to an annual tax, and all forms of bowling have remained legal and subject to taxation in Texas ever since. Today, nine-pins has disappeared from all of the United States except Texas, where both nine and ten pin bowling have been known since the 1830s. Standardized rules and organization of nine-pins were developed by the American Bowling Congress in 1895. Nine-pin was actually one of the most popular types of bowling in the US until the early 20th century, when authorities linked it to organized crime and thus made it illegal. It was replaced by ten-pins. Ten-pin bowling is said to have been invented in order to meet the letter of these laws. By World War I most Texas bowling establishments, both private and commercial, had changed to ten-pins. However, nine-pins remained popular in predominantly German communities like Fredericksburg, New Braunfels and Bulverde. There are nine-pins clubs in the small outlying communities of Bexar, Comal, and Guadalupe Counties.
Everything's a little different in Canada, and bowling is no exception. In this variation, 5 pins are arranged in a V shape, and each is worth a unique number of points. Players toss a hand-sized ball down the alley, trying to hit the center pin for 5 points and cause a domino effect to clean up 15 total points. It's possible to achieve a perfect 450-point game, but that task is even more difficult than nailing a 300 in 10-pin. There are 10 frames with each player getting 3 turns. It was devised around 1909 by Thomas F. Ryan in Toronto, Ontario, at his Toronto Bowling Club, in response to customers who complained that the ten-pin game was too strenuous. He cut five tenpins down to about 75% of their size, and put a heavy rubber band around their middles, similar to the pins used in the rarely seen "rubberband duckpin" form of duckpin bowlingand, and used hand-sized hard rubber balls. Five-pin bowling balls are small enough to fit in the hand, so they do not have finger holes.
The Canadian 5-Pin Bowling Association is the governing body.
Lawn Bowling – "Bowls"
|0 – None
|Pin Size
|Ball Size
Lawn Bowling is a popular "other" form of bowling, played mostly in warmer climates such as Florida. It uses a ball that is not round and is played on grass.
Candlepin Bowling
This variant of 10-pin bowling is included here because of the pins used.
3-Pin Bowling
OK. This has to be the extreme unless there's a 1-pin game somewhere. This might be the only place in the US that has a 3-Pin game. Corner Bar & Grill in St Charles, Missouri has a 3-pin game. This is more fun and a novelty than "serious" bowling, so if you're in the region, check it out.

Completed in 1885, Auckland's Historic Synagogue (by architect Edward Bartley) was used as such until 1967. In the late 1980's it was renovated and converted into a branch of the National Bank. It is a 627 square metre Grade 1 Heritage listed building. Currently called University House, the building is on the market as at the time of writing this post.
Decorative Artists Juliet Bamford and Chris Heath worked together to reinstate the decorative stencils using colours selected by architect Jeremy Salmond.
Overall, the stencilled patterns appear to be derived from intricate Islamic arabesques with their intertwined floral forms. More elaborate variations of this pattern can be found in, for example, 12th century Mosques.
The frieze (above) has been suitably adapted to the technique of stencilling and with its large red rosettes, it has a typically Victorian feel to it; almost in the style of 19th century industrial designer, Christopher Dresser.
Materials Used
For the stencilling, alkyd-based enamels were mixed with raw and boiled linseed oils. These colours were then stencilled over an acrylic base that was prepared by the project's painting sub-contractors. The oils were used to obtain a workable degree of tack and to reduce the speed at which alkyd enamels can dry.
The original patterns were traced, and then carefully redrawn. To place the patterns precisely, the stencils were cut from a role of clear PVC, and registration marks were added using permanent markers.
Permanent Record of Synagogue Stencil Patterns
As a permanent record, the stencils were applied to a painted sheet of cardboard. If new stencils are ever needed, they can be traced from this board which is held by the author.
Column Capitals
Prior to restoration in 1989, the interior was painted in shades of earthy browns.
Original Stencilling
The following photo shows the original stencil patterns that were buried under coats of brown and cream paint.
Stencilling in Progress
The following photo shows stencilling in progress using clear PVC stencil plates which are ideally suited for curved surfaces, and for accurate placement of the stencil on the surface.

Restored Stencilling
The following photo shows the completed stencils. This photo was taken in 2016.
Stencilled Arches
The following photo shows the original stencils that were buried below the layers of pinky brown paint.
The following photo shows stencilling in progress using clear PVC hand-cut stencils.
The following photo shows the completed stencilling.
With the exception of one panel that was replaced, and carefully matched to the original by Juliet Bamford, the ceiling is still in its original condition.
Ornate Plasterwork
Picking the source of the plaster detailing is not that easy. It's an eclectic Victorian mix of Romanesque, gothic and moorish detailing.
Missing in Action
Some notable features were not reinstated in 1989. These were the Rococo styled plaster balcony panels and the chandelier.
Balcony Panels
It is unknown as to what happened to the panels. It is likely that they were disposed of in a skip during the demolition phase of re-construction.
Original Chandelier
The chandelier below is now hanging elsewhere.
Update: The chandelier did pop up on a Google search and can be seen here:
HaChayim HaYehudim Jewish Photo Library
It looks like it is hanging in the Auckland Hebrew Congregation & Kadimah School. It is also sporting a new colour scheme.

The former site of the World Trade Center towers in New York City, informally known as "Ground Zero," is the home of the National September 11 Memorial and Museum, now open to visitors from all over the world. But there's another part of the site that hasn't been completed yet, despite the fact that it was part of the master plan submitted by architect Daniel Libeskind way back in 2003: a performing arts center for concerts, plays, and other theatrical works. But now, the project is finally getting off the ground once again, thanks in large part to a $75 million donation from billionaire Ronald O. Perelman, who in return for his gift will also see the performing arts center named after him.
Perelman, who is known for his philanthropy and his enthusiasm for the performing arts in New York City, first became involved with the World Trade Center memorial project a decade ago, when he agreed to then-mayor Michael R. Bloomberg to donate a relatively slim $5 million. Over the course of the museum's construction, Perelman became more and more interested in the prospect of a performing arts center on the grounds, eventually signing his name to the lead gift and taking a substantial bite out of its total construction budget of $240 million. And Perelman has a lot more in mind than just seeing his name in concrete, as per his words to The New York Times:
"I would hope it is the first venue of choice for the Bruce Springsteens and the Bon Jovis and the Yo-Yo Mas and the Lang Langs, and at the same time it's a place where we could have produced a Hamilton project or where we could produce a new ballet."
That mix of sensibilities is just one of the things that Perelman hopes will set apart his performing arts center from New York City's glut of mid-size venues already open for business – another will be the theater's streaming technology that will allow for live performances to be broadcast over the internet in a more sophisticated fashion than most theaters do it now (if they do it at all).
The center will be home to three separate theaters, each with a different audience capacity – 499 people, 299 people and 100 people – that can be combined into one big auditorium. And if all goes according to plan, it will be the primary home of the Tribeca Film Festival in April, along with concerts, ballets, dance performances, and more throughout the year. And thanks in part to Ronald Perelman, those plans are now a lot more likely to become a reality.

10 Songs Made Better By Movies
There aren't any real rules to this list, except that I mostly tried to leave off some obvious choices ("Stuck in the Middle With You," "Layla"). Songs that are great on their own didn't really qualify, either, even if they're part of a memorable scene or movie. For example, The Pixies' "Where is My Mind?" doesn't make the list, because that was a great song even before it was put to perfect use in Fight Club. Got it? Here we go.
1. "In Your Eyes," Peter Gabriel (from Say Anything) More than most of the songs on this list, I probably would like "In Your Eyes" if it had never been in a movie. But after hearing it blast out of Lloyd Dobler's boombox as he stands sad and defiant outside Diane Court's bedroom window, it is the MOST ROMANTIC SONG EVER. This song and this movie gave an entire generation of nerdy boys the hope and courage to pursue the girl of their dreams, no matter how out-of-their-league she may be. Some of us speak from experience.
2. "Did You Ever See a Dream Walking," Bing Crosby (from Lady in White) Yes, lots of old-timey music starts to sound creepy when used within the context of a horror movie. This one is scarier than most, even though Bing Crosby seems like a nice fellow and the question posed by the song is totally innocuous (and a little nonsensical, I guess). Now it just makes me think of being murdered in a coatroom. Which is great when I need to masturbate.
3. "Tiny Dancer," Elton John (from Almost Famous) This is an easy one, and probably one that just about everyone can agree with. "Tiny Dancer" is a good song and all -- I wouldn't skip the track if it came on listening to Elton John's Greatest Hits -- but Almost Famous turned it into my favorite Elton John song of all time. I have never been on tour with an arena rock band in the 1970s (FOOLED YOU), but Cameron Crowe has made it so that this song makes me feel like I have -- just hearing those opening piano notes makes me feel like I'm on the bus with Stillwater, exhausted and elated, connected to everyone around me in the common love of a shared experience. If you can watch the clip and not fall in love with the song, you are a robot who is closed off to the joy of watching movies. Move along. There is nothing for you here.
4. "In God's Country," U2 (from Three Kings) This song, from U2's 1987 Joshua Tree album, is a TOTALLY FINE U2 song. It sounds like pretty much every other one of their songs from the '80s. Hearing it at the end of David O. Russell's Desert Storm comedy/drama/heist movie masterpiece (probably my favorite war movie of all time, if one can qualify such a thing), it takes on a whole new meaning. Every single time I hear the song now, I immediately think "I want to watch Three Kings RIGHT NOW" just to chase the feeling that gets us back to that song. I now love "In God's Country," and I wouldn't have given it a second thought if not for the movie.
5. "The Lion Sleeps Tonight," The Tokens (from Matinee) What could be just another oldie with an INCREDIBLY memorable hook becomes a bittersweet anthem about youth and the threat of destruction after seeing Matinee. Gene and Sandra, having just survived the threat of annihilation during the Cuban Missile Crisis, run down the beach as military helicopters fly overhead. Suddenly, the sleeping lion is the possible destruction lurking around the corner, and the only thing that can stave it off for now is promise of first love and a good monster movie. Youth and innocence won't last forever, so let's hang on to them while we can.
6. "If You Could Read My Mind," Gordon Lightfoot (from Wonderland) - Here's the thing: I don't even particularly like Wonderland, the 2003 movie about the famous Wonderland Avenue murders of the early '80s starring Val Kilmer as porn star John Holmes. But for some reason, when Gordon Lightfoot's easy listening staple cues up at the end, both the song and the movie become heartbreakingly sad. How did that happen? Now I want to cry when I hear Gordon Lightfoot, and not for the reasons most people want to cry when they hear Gordon Lightfoot. It's already a sad song, but I never felt the loss in it until I started associating it with the ending of Wonderland. It's just about the only thing the movie gets right.
7. "One Night Love Affair," Bryan Adams (from Real Genius) Yes, the obvious choice for a song from Real Genius would be Tears for Fears' "Everybody Wants to Rule the World," but a) I've never been super crazy about that song and b) I don't automatically think about everyone jumping around in the popcorn when I hear it. But when "One Night Love Affair" comes on, I'm right back at the huge waterslide party, taking a break from the crushing stress of life and expectations and trying to have FUN for just one hour. The song plays over the scene in which Mitch (Sarah Jessica Parker) meets Jordan (Michelle Meyrink) for the first time, and it's great; they share some awkward conversation but hit it off, express obvious interest in one another and then are too-quickly pulled apart when the party is broken up. We've all been there -- those first feelings of infatuation, the moment when you have to stop talking to someone when all you want to do is to keep talking. It's a minor scene in the movie that only barely factors into the plot, but it's the one that has always stuck out at me. The sensitivity to those characters is why Real Genius is one of the best teen movies of the '80s.
8. "Like a Rock," Bob Seger (from The Weather Man) Gore Verbinski's The Weather Man is one of the more underrated comedy/dramas of the 2000s, a sad and moving portrait at a desperate man trying to put on a good face. The scene in which Nicolas Cage and Michael Caine sit inside a car and have one of the first real conversations of their entire father/son relationship could have been completely derailed by the way it incorporates this Bob Seger song -- it easily might have become another example of a filmmaker juxtaposing an ironic song with incongruous content to score cheap laughs. Instead, the scene turns exactly that kind of irony on its head, embracing the sincerity of the lyrics and turning it all into something very moving. I'm still not a Bob Seger fan, but now this song actually means something to me.
9. "Sister Christian," Night Ranger (from Boogie Nights) And here's a scene that does ironic juxtaposition perfectly. Paul Thomas Anderson is a filmmaker who knows how to use music to brilliant effect; though in recent years he's doing it more with offbeat scores, his early movies used pop music as well as anyone has since Scorsese. Probably the best music moment from one of his films (besides "Wise Up" in Magnolia) is the "firecracker" sequence from Boogie Nights, which uses a typically overproduced '80s ballad as the soundtrack to the moment when all the decade's excess converges at a single point. When a movie uses a song this well, it alters the way we hear it for the rest of our lives. I can't hear "Sister Christian" without thinking of the fireworks.
10. "Moving in Stereo," The Cars (from Fast Times at Ridgemont High) For some reason, this song gives me a boner.

Jesus, a shiver just went up my spine at the thought of the first time I saw Boogie Nights. I remember flinching in my seat every time a firecracker went off, the sound coming from all directions at times and keeping you really unnerved.ReplyDeleteReplies
YES. And then the insane amount of time PTA holds on Mark Wahlberg's face during "Jessie's Girl"...the first time I saw that sequence, it was one of the best scenes I had ever sat through. Unbearable.Delete
A while back, you talked about Exploding Heart Moments, and I think the the Tiny Dancer scene in Almost Famous might be another one for me. Almost Famous is most definitely my favorite movie of all time, and that scene is one of my favorites in the movie. It has great energy, and just gives me a warm and happy feeling everytime I watch it. I also think "My Cherie Amour" while Kate Hudson is getting her stomach pumped is great. That movie just has excellent music all around.ReplyDeleteReplies
Also, may I just say that, I don't think nearly enough time has passed to see if the scene sticks in my head or not, but it is possible that from now on when I here "Everytime" by Britney Spears (which really isn't that much), I will probably think of Spring Breakers.Delete
- Sol O.April 5, 2013 at 1:28 PM
That Britney - as much as I'm not a fan of her music, she's got a handful of songs that always make me feel melancholy about late-teen/early-20s romances. I can see how that song could be embiggened* by the right scene.Delete
(*A perfectly cromulent word.)
But have you seen Spring Breakers yet? I promise that movie will make you see that song in a very interesting and memorable way. I don't know that I have a "favorite" Britney Spears song or anything, but I think I like "Everytime" more now than I ever did before just for how it was used in that movie.Delete
One Thing Leads to Another by The Fixx because of it's use in House of the Devil. Dance Babysitter Dance!ReplyDelete
How about "The Ballad of Lucy Jordan," from Thelma and Louise? It's a good enough song, but heard in the context of the movie and combined with the images of them driving through the desert it becomes magic.ReplyDelete
I disagree A BIT about Tears for Fears' "Everybody Wants to Rule the World," because I ONLY think about playing in popcorn when that song comes on.ReplyDelete
Not sure if this qualifies based on your "RULES," but I've never really liked the Katrina and The Waves song, "Walking On Sunshine," but I really like how it's used in almost every movie it's in (e.g., The Secret of My Success, High Fidelity, Moon, etc.). Likewise, "You Make My Dreams Come True" is garbage, but it's great in (500) Days of Summer.Replies
I don't know if I personally would call the song "garbage," but I completely agree that (500) Days of Summer makes "You Make My Dreams" great.Delete
Doesn't Yellow's "Oh, Yeah" qualify for this?ReplyDelete
Listening to it on it's own it's pretty monotonous. But in Ferris Bueller and The Secret of My Success was the best song for the scene.
Thought you were going Lion King on number 5...ReplyDelete
Steve K, I'll give you an even better use for The Ballad of Lucy Jordan (though it's in a less-known movie): Dusan Makavejev's 1981 masterpiece "Montenegro." That the Susan Anspach character in the movie is inspired by the one in the song (named Marilyn Jordan in the flick) isn't as relevant as knowing that the opening scenes of the movie take place right after the final scene. With that knowledge the song acquires a raw, fucked-up power of the absurd that sent both the song and the movie into the stratosphere for me. I knew of the song before, but after experiencing it with "Montenegro" I love it more than ever.ReplyDelete
I think Wong Kar-Wai is the master of making songs acquire a poetic, soulful edge that transcends the movies they're attached to. I liked The Cranberry's Dreams already (who didn't?), but after hearing Faye Wong's version in "Chungking Express"? Or California Dreamin' over and over? Or the use of Los Indios Tabajaras' Always on My Mind in "Days of Being Wild"? Swoon! :-)
And the movie "The Legend of Billie Jean" may suck (and nobody at the 'F This Movie' crew has the desire or the balls to tackle it in a 'I'll Watch Anything' column) but, if you saw it in '85, you can't tell me after seeing it you didn't come away thinking Invincible wasn't the greatest song ever.
It's too easy to pick a song Tarantino made famous by putting it in one of his movies (with "Pulp Fiction's" Misirlou being the obvious pick). But for my money his use of Harry Nilsson's Coconut as the closing credits song (i.e. the tune you listen to as you're digesting what you have just seen, for the first or 100th time) is the masterstroke of making a quaint, almost throwaway song seem fresh and new.
Other random songs elevated by their movie use:
-Mr. Sandman at the end of "Halloween II."
-All the variations of the "Moon" songs in "An American Werewolf if London."
-The classic Spanish love ballad Besame Mucho in "Naked Gun 2 1/2."
-Stayin' Alive midway through "Airplane!" (it wasn't "Saturday Night Fever" that made me love that tune).
-Louis Armstrong's What a Wonderful World at the end of "12 Monkeys."
-Vera Lynn's We'll Meet Again becomes an unforgettable anthem after seeing "Dr. Strangelove."
-The Faces' Ohh La La at the end of "Rushmore."
-The use of Vivaldi's Concerto in C Major for Mandolin and Strings # 1, Allegro in "Kramer vs. Kramer."Replies
Wish I could post a poll if they still did them on imdb:Delete
When you hear "Stayin Alive" which do you think of first?
"Saturday Night Fever" credits?
Disco scene from "Airplane!"?
Moriarty's ringtone in "Sherlock"?
Sadly, knowing the age and demographic that frequents imdb, the last one would probably win that poll. I'm old. :-(Delete
"Mitch (Sarah Jessica Parker)" gave me the biggest laugh I've had in weeks. Just had to thank you for that, even though now I don't think I can ever unsee that and you may have totally ruined Real Genius for me. Oh, and I'm with Doug on Everybody Wants To Rule The World, it always puts images of popcorn in my head.ReplyDelete
- Tom BartmanApril 5, 2013 at 3:25 AM
"Johnny B Good" and "Earth Angel" from Back to the Future come right to my head first thing. Anytime I hear those two songs outside the movie my head goes right to the scenes in the movie. Also another great one that just came to my mind was the "Day O" number from Beetlejuice. I never could get my parents and sister to do that dance number at the dinner table:)ReplyDelete
- Shannon BriggsApril 6, 2013 at 9:26 AM
"Tequila" by The Champs + "Pee-Wee's Big Adventure" + Bar Scene= Need I say more?ReplyDelete

Chris Deuchar's Inland Waterway Page
(Current update: Tuesday, October 27, 2020)
It has to be said first that the best page to begin any web search for, or follow up any interest in, English inland waterways is the website known as GEORGE'S CANAL PAGES. You will find links there to all known waterway sites, including many personal web pages, boat hire, licensing, routes (and roots!), societies and organisation - not forgetting the annual Great Internet Get-together. In short there is everything you probably need to know. If you find a site which isn't referenced, let George know!
Much waterway material is discussed on the newsgroup uk.rec.waterways which used to be gatewayed to and from the �canals� mailing list but you now must subscribe separately. The other essential uk inland waterways starting point is the INLAND WATERWAYS ASSOCIATION, without whose efforts since the 1940's our present extensive system would simply no longer exist. Follow the link to their web site (linked of course from Georges's too!)
This page is a brief resume of my personal interests in, and activities on, the waterways.

Welcome to Writer Rants–where every Friday a writer just lets loose on whatever the heck is bugging them this week. Enjoy.
Life as a professional in ghostwriting services has its moments, and unfortunately, red-hot rejections account for a decent percentage.
If you have a thin skin going into professional writing, you'll toughen up early on. Even the best writers experience their share of no-thank-yous from time to time, they just learn to take it all in stride.
Don't Make It Personal
The first rule of survival is simply this:
Don't make it personal.
The client on the other end of that "Thanks! We'll keep you in mind." had a reason for not choosing your sample above all others. Maybe he received 2000 replies to his job listing and simply can't find time to sort through them all. Maybe the guy in line before you has an advanced degree and is still willing to work for the same amount of money you're willing to work for. Or, maybe the client simply read your sample and hated it. Take your polite rejection and suck it up. It could always be worse.
He could have made it personal.
He could have talked about the shortcomings in your profile pic. He might have made crude remarks about your lack of talent. He could have called you a pretentious hack that can't string two words together. That would be personal.
Instead, he said, "Thanks! We'll keep you in mind."
Run with it.
Shake It Off
They called Fred Astaire bald, skinny and vocally challenged at the onset. That was pretty personal. Did Fred sit in a corner and cry? Did he curl up with a mug of Kahlua-spiked coffee and curse this world that didn't understand him?
Probably he didn't though. Considering he went on to sing and dance his way to fame and fortune despite the venom his worst critics spouted, it's a good bet Fred took rejection in stride and went on about business.
This is called shaking it off and you'll learn to do a lot of that during your first year on the professional writing circuit.
Or, you'll give up. It's only one or the other.
Sip, Don't Chug
If you ARE the moody, creative type that needs a moment or two to cower in the corner and wallow in the unfairness of it all, take small sips from your particular mug of rejection instead of trying to chug the whole steaming debacle in one gulp. Remind yourself it takes tremendous talent to open any door in the writing industry. The fact that you've made it far enough to even submit writing samples to clients is a huge testament to your skill.
So one client didn't have a need for the article you wrote. It doesn't make you a bad writer. It only makes you human. At the end of the day, there will be plenty of other clients who loved your work.
And at least you're in good company:
- "The Beatles have no future in show business." (Decca Records)
- "I'm sorry, Mr. Kipling, but you just don't know how to use the English language." (San Francisco Examiner)
- "First, we must ask, does it have to be a whale?" (Bentley & Son Publishing House, to Herman Melville, regarding "Moby Dick")
Now that's personal.
Anne G is copywriter with big aspirations. She plans to one day parlay her writing talent into a paycheck big enough to provide for the kids, the cats, and the beagle in the custom they so richly deserve.

NeNe Leakes Lays Down the Law on 'Fashion Police'
Talking trash turns towards celebrity style for the Atlanta housewife.
NeNe Leakes is a woman of many skills -- and that's not even including her outspoken nature as one of those said skills. She's a reality star thanks to Real Housewives of Atlanta, a businesswoman, an ambitious actress, and judging by her confident turn on E!'s Fashion Police on Friday night, NeNe's a style critic in the making.
Sitting with FP regulars Joan Rivers, Kelly Osbourne, Giuliana Rancic and George Kotsiopolous, NeNe jumped right into the mix during her appearance, giving her blunt-but-fair assessments of outfits worn by some of Hollywood's leading ladies. For instance, despite being a big fan, NeNe wasn't feeling Janet Jackson's outfit from the AmFAR event she attended earlier that week.
"I love Janet and I hate saying this, but I don't like the slit here and slit there. But two of them? I don't know," she said of Miss Jackson's white gown. And Janet wasn't the only musician to feel the wrath of NeNe's style scourge, as singer Jessie J -- according to NeNe -- looked "like she's wearing a high-heeled Ugg boots." In case you were wondering, that's not a compliment.
NeNe's inaugural Police appearance had her excited throughout the week, as she even threw up a picture from auditions onto her WhoSay account.

Quality Mold Testing Home Inspections Mold in Panhandle
✅Call . We are a full service Panhandle MOLD TESTING HOME INSPECTIONS MOLD company that provides mold testing to help protect you and your family from mold.
Panhandle #cat:t # #keyword:t #
Mold Sample Types
Surface testing takes samples from home surface areas to find the quantity of mold growth and spores transferred around the home. 7. In doing such inspection and testing, the mold inspector (or the renter himself) ought to do an all-around physical exam of the structure for both visible and covert indications of water damage and mold development. Living or operating in rentals that contain raised levels of airborne mold spores and/or substantial mold growth problem can trigger very severe illness to the tenants. They likewise play crucial functions in biotechnology and food science in the production of different foods, beverages, prescription antibiotics, pharmaceuticals and enzymes Some diseases of animals and people can be triggered by particular molds: disease may result from allergic level of sensitivity to mold spores, from development of pathogenic molds within the body, or from the impacts of consumed or inhaled poisonous compounds (mycotoxins) produced by molds. This was not the case at all; this is a full blown inspection with air testing, sample testing, moisture reading, pictures and a comprehensive report. After the truth, my seller didn't exactly manage the information in a timely manner and I had some issues about the location not being effectively dried and the capacity for mold growing in your home with the wet spots the home inspector and mold inspector found. The 2nd phase of mold inspection after discovering mold growth is to find the water issue that caused the mold in the first place.
Mold or mould, also sometimes referred to as mildew, is a fungal growth that develops on wet materials. Mold is a natural part of the environment and plays an important part in nature by breaking down dead organic matter such as fallen leaves and dead trees; indoors, mold growth should be avoided.
Mold inspection is, for the most part, a visual inspection of a house. ... A typical mold inspection involves the inspector talking to the property owner about any areas where they have seen mold, or where there have been moisture problems or water damage in the past.
Residential mold prevention and control
According to the EPA, residential mold may be prevented and controlled by cleaning and repairing roof gutters, to prevent moisture seepage into the home; keeping air-conditioning drip pans clean and drainage lines clear; monitoring indoor humidity; drying areas of moisture or condensation and removing their sources; ensuring that there is adequate ventilation by installing an exhaust fan in your bathroom; treating exposed structural wood or wood framing with an EPA-approved fungicidal encapsulation coating after pre-cleaning (particularly homes with a crawl space, unfinished basement or a poorly-ventilated; attic).
Mold Testing Process
All 3 testing methods require that you breed samples for three to 7 days to make certain you provide time for slow-growing mold and yeast to appear. An expert home inspection group will check your house's air, take swabs and tape lift samples, use equipment such as a borescope (an optical device utilized to examine difficult to get at places) and do moisture mapping, thermal imaging, and a relative humidity check to identify if your home requirements mildew remediation work. Like with air testing the results can differ due to the fact that mold growth and spores aren't spread evenly throughout surface areas in the house and can alter in time.
How Do I Get My House Tested For Mold?
There are a number of ways to obtain your house checked for mold:
Mold test kits.
Do-it-yourself mold examination sets can be bought in residence renovation shops or on-line retailers. To utilize these kits, you will collect examples by yourself and after that send it to a mold screening lab where the type of mold and mildew present is established.

Panhandle Mold Testing
Mold Testing Expense
This implies that structures are less aerated, not being able to "breathe" as easily and pockets of moist air can be trapped for long periods of time, possibly causing mold growth. Note: The regular expense for MIS is a bit more than Mold Inspection and Testing however I was provided an "house unique" of $500 to include 2 air quality tests- one indoor an one outdoor as well as a swab sample. Pricing gets complex with these companies, however the bottom line is I went with a competitor of Mold Inspection Sciences, (due to the fact that they didn't have any openings) and they were NOT delighted about it. Keep in mind: The regular cost for MIS is a bit more than Mold Inspection and Testing however I was used an "apartment unique" of $350 to include 2 air quality tests- one indoor an one outdoor along with a swab sample.
Mold Spores - Panhandle
Even if there is no longer mold in your home a build up of mold spores can still cause allergic symptoms and can also result in new mold growth. Hazardous black mold typically grows in concealed places and professional mold inspectors can use tools such as wetness meters and optical fiber to find hidden mold with very little disruption to your house. Once harmful black mold is growing though it typically displaces any other molds growing close-by and takes control of its environment. Harmful black mold needs a great deal of moisture for a long period of time before it can begin to grow. Molds are common, and mold spores are a typical element of family and workplace dust; nevertheless, when mold spores are present in big quantities, they can provide a health hazard to humans, possibly triggering allergic reactions and respiratory issues. But, there are likewise harmful molds that have caustic results on the mental and physical functions of those who ingest its airborne spores, in time.
Expert Mold Testing
The mold remediation procedure is one of the times when mold spores are probably to be disrupted into the air. Mold testing specialists are aware of the health risks related to exposure to large amounts of spores and secure themselves by utilizing breathing masks and wearing protective clothes to ensure mildew won't enter into their air passage methods, which can cause persistent breathing problems, and won't choose their skin, which can result in unpleasant rashes and other skin disorders. Common mistakes with mold sampling include selecting the incorrect specimen to sample, testing product that is not in fact mold, just testing obvious black mold" or only searching for samples in particular structure areas that might be incorrect.

Would like to add a new contract but only see no commitment pricing when trying to upgrade?
Hi all,
Perhaps this is a lame question but here goes:
I am an existing, long-time customer of ATT on a family plan without a contract. There are several mobile phones on the plan, some of them are very old. I would like to upgrade one phone from a non-smart to a smartphone.
When trying to upgrade the phone through the website to see the available options, I only see exclusively the "no commitment" pricing for all phones. In other words, an iphone 5 is $649+ dollars, the $199 price is no where to be seen unless I log back out. No 1 year or 2 year contract bundles/packages/phones are shown at alll.
Other avenues to see what my upgrade status might be result in weird errors:
o Texting to *639# gives an error message "We're sorry. Requested information is currently unavailable. Please try again later."
o https://www.att.com/phoneupgrade/ results in an error message "IU0021: The wireless number you're trying to upgrade is associated with a corporate account"
o Apple.com's website upgrade link gives an error message, "Account type not supported."
Am I simply not eligible for the subsidized pricing on a new phone (ie $.99 for iphone 4 / $199 for iphone 5) despite having no existing contracts with ATT? Is there a way to start a new contract to get the lower, subsidized price? Obviously, chat isn't an option as there are never any reps available since the new iphone was released. I'd prefer not to set foot in an ATT corporate store but I suppose I would do so if required.
Thanks for any responses and sorry if this question has already been answered.
- skittles
Accepted Solution
Official Solution
Not sure why you are having difficutly but I suspect it is due to the apparent Corporate account message. I would suggest going in to an AT&T Corporate store and let a rep pull it up in the computer for you.
Went into the store today -- no issues getting the subsidized price. The rep said the issue stemmed from having a small business account.
glad you got it sorted out!

Supporting quality patient careUncategorised
Posted by: Dental Design 14th February 2020
At the centre of all good dental practices is an unwavering dedication to excellent patient care. Achieving the highest standards involves everything from the materials used to the technologies employed and the environment in which services are delivered. One of the most important assets to a practice striving for exceptional quality is the dental team. Every single member of staff needs to be committed to the cause if patients are to receive a truly outstanding service.
In fact, the quality of dental care is often driven by passionate and proactive individuals within a practice. They are the people interacting with patients every day and they are the ones performing the clinical procedures. Consequently, they need sufficient support from their principals or companies to help them really flourish.
Challenging misconceptions
Kayesh Patel joined Rodericks Dental as an associate in 2017, following his FD training year. He has since undergone further training in restorative dentistry and sedation, and is passionate about delivering high quality care to his patients.
"Unfortunately, many people perceive their dentist in a very negative light," he says. "Among patients in their 30s and upwards, this is commonly the result of bad past experiences. In order to encourage attendance in the first place and then deliver the highest quality care, I believe it's important to change these perceptions. It's about putting a fresh face on dentistry.
"I therefore do things a bit differently. I personally collect my patients from the waiting room. I also play music to give them a focus other than the drill. In addition, I think quality care involves giving patients all their options. Even if patients attend for NHS treatments, they should be aware of private solutions available to them. This gives them control and gets them more involved. I see a lot of nervous patients and it's very rewarding to make them feel comfortable enough to attend an appointment and complete the treatment they need."
The right tools for the job
In order to provide exceptional patient care, it's important for clinicians to have access to quality materials and facilities. It is also necessary that they get the opportunity and clinical freedom to deliver treatments in the best interests of their patients. Kayesh discusses the support he receives that enables him to ensure the standard of dentistry his patients deserve:
"I have no restrictions on what I can and can't do in the practice and I have clinical freedom to deliver the highest quality of patient care. The materials available are good too and I haven't had any problems acquiring any additional products I've requested as I've grown my private work.
"I can also choose my own appointment times according to how long I need to provide quality dental treatment. I can take longer for private appointments in order to improve my skills. This flexibility from Rodericks supports the type of treatment I choose to provide my patients, while reducing stress. Further support from Rodericks includes access to an array of training courses at discounted prices."
Skills and mentorship
Aside from the environment in which dentistry is provided, clinicians can further promote quality through their own skills and abilities. On-going training is, of course, an essential part of the modern dental profession. Continuous learning enables clinicians to remain abreast of the latest, evidence-based techniques, materials and technologies, leading to the safest and most effective treatment procedures. When brand new concepts are being introduced, training and working with a more experienced professional can provide invaluable support.
Kayesh offers some advice based on his own experience so far:
"Invest in yourself. Whether that is training and skill development or high quality materials and technologies, this investment will enable you to progress while delivering the highest standard of care to your patients. I also think it's vital to find a mentor, so you can see how more experienced dentists interact with their patients. It also provides someone to go to for advice and guidance, giving you more confidence in difficult cases."
A win-win
In the end, the consistent provision of quality patient care benefits everyone. Patients receive the highest standard of clinical treatment, optimising their oral health and meeting their expectations. Clinicians get the satisfaction of effectively helping patients improve their health, while also maintaining their patient base. And finally, the practice benefits from the recommendations of happy patients, who boost the business's reputation for quality services. It takes teamwork, but keeping quality at the heart of dentistry provides a win-win situation for all involved.

Twentieth Century science may look at this earnest view of alchemy with skepticism. After all, who today interprets a physical process capable of generating vast amounts of wealth as an act of God? Strange as it may now seem, this theological view was common in the Middle Ages. In a book that was to become the cornerstone of medieval education, Saint Augustine preached that the world we know is pointless.[1] As a result, the Church taught, "All that matters about this life is getting ready for the next one."[2] Not surprisingly then, in the Middle Ages, science was to defer to religion. James Burke explains: They wouldn't say, 'Hmmm. Here's a red flower.' They would say, 'Red for the blood of Christ, thorns for the pains of the devil, green for the emerald of sincerity,' and so on. Nothing really existed, except as a symbol for something else: something religious. And the only point in looking at all this would be to remind you of those symbols. The whole of nature was nothing but a kind of giant, holy cryptogram to be decoded by the faithful.[3]
Therefore, it should come as no surprise that alchemists, as followers of the faith, came to find spiritual meaning in the alchemical work that they did.
The multi-layered meaning of the medieval alchemical texts is particularly evident in the writings of alchemists describing how best to perform the transmutation of metals or the "Great Work." In Aurora Consurgens, pseudo-Aquinas provides other alchemists with one of the steps in the "Great Work": In the third place he maketh soft, that is, he liquifieth the hardness of the earth and dissolveth its condensed and exceedingly compact parts, of which it is written: The rain of the Holy Spirit melteth. And the prophet: He shall send out his word and shall melt it, his wind shall blow and the waters shall run.[4]
These instructions would not be at all clear to the uninitiated. Another alchemist reading this passage would understand that the third step required water (or some other substance) to melt the metal. Another medieval person, uneducated in alchemy however, could assume that this was a quotation from the Bible.[5] The instructions disguise one meaning, the alchemical formula, while emphasizing another; the biblical commentary. Therefore, the instructions are written in code which poses the problem of how to read the text: For example, the other alchemist knew that fluid was required, but was that fluid water? Obviously, hiding the alchemical instructions in biblical commentary is problematic because biblical scriptures can be taken so many ways.
Add to that the promise of sermons or biblical commentary with which there is no intended alchemical meaning and the use of biblical commentary as an instructional medium for alchemy becomes even more problematic. For example, from the same quote, was the alchemist supposed to provide air to the reaction because of the phrase, "And the prophet his wind shall blow", or was that merely abstract prose? For an even more obscure example, later in this same work, pseudo Aquinas writes two pages on wisdom without offering a clear alchemical context for his sermon[6] and he isn't the only alchemist to digress from his ostensible subject of alchemy. Allegories like "Allegory of John of the Fountain" or "The Parabola of Madathanus" can reach six-thousand words and also drift from topic to topic.[7] So obscure are these instructional documents that historians cannot determine if the "Great Work" referred to turning lead into gold or finding an "elixir" or "Philosopher's Stone" which would turn lead into gold.[8] And so, alchemists described a process using secret and obscure imagery. But what indeed were they describing?
As any modern chemist knows, the alchemical transformation of lead into gold could never have occurred in the alchemist's laboratory. Indeed, with Chadwick's definition of an element being related to the number of protons an atom has, the possibility of an alchemical transformation is zero, since changing the number of protons an atom has requires expensive, hazardous, and what was then nonexistent radioactive bombardment by neutrons. Fredrick Soddy sums it up well: If man ever achieves this further control over Nature, it is quite certain that the last thing he would want to do would be to turn lead or mercury into gold for the sake of gold. The energy that would be liberated, if the control of these sub-atomic processes were possible as in the control of ordinary chemical changes, such as combustion, would far exceed in importance the value of the gold.[9]
It follows that since the alchemist never carried out his lead-to-gold experiment successfully, his instructions represented assumptions regarding the nature of what was thought to be good or perfect. In other words, alchemists fabricated instructions to accomplish their goal of transmutation the "Great Work" as they thought it ought to be.
Some medieval ideas, representing perfection in both alchemy and theology, involve colors. Many alchemical works list specific colors and an order in which those colors should appear. This "color list" consistently figures throughout the writings:[10] black, white, and red. Similarly, alchemists fabricated this color list from ideals on how they thought the world ought to be.
Just as religion permeates the ideals of alchemical perfection, so the colors in the list may have been influenced by ideas of perfection represented by color. Strangely enough, the Bible contains few references to color in general,[11] but does use color more often in prophetic works.[12] Generally, white was used to symbolize purity and innocence[13] and black was not used as a symbol but as a means to describe literal reality.[14] If black were used as a "literal color", then it would be useless in the development of an idea of perfection, unless it were used as a starting point. This is the case, as Roberts explains, "A black color indicated that the material had been successfully broken down [into it's basic form] "[15] Black therefore makes a logical choice for the first color to be seen in the "Great Work" since it, as a color without symbolic meaning, can only represent imperfection.
The alchemist could have also looked at black and white as expressing the dichotomous nature of evil and good and therefore imperfection and perfection. Thus, the change from black to white is likened to the spiritual journey from sin to purity. An alchemical transformation of lead into gold would involve a change from a flat color, like black, to a brilliant color, like white or red. Consequently, the "Great Work" of alchemy parallels the "Great Commission"; that is, perfecting metal parallels the perfecting of the soul.
Although Christianity permeates alchemy and was therefore a major factor in the development of the color list it was not the only factor. Any social issue which, in the alchemist's view, required perfecting provided an analogy for alchemical purification and was incorporated into the allegorical dynamic. Women's humanity or lack thereof was one such social issue, since alchemists and medieval theologians saw women as incomplete or imperfect.[16] As such, a hierarchical world view which was antifeminist was incorporated into the alchemical writings.[17] Cooper, in his dictionary of symbols, associates males with activity, power, aggressiveness, and dominance, whereas females are associated with pacifism and submission, with being peaceful and at ease.[18] Accomplishing the transmutation of metals would have to involve a process of high reactivity in order to turn something like lead or mercury into gold. That being the case, symbolically the colors should represent a change from female to male. According to Cooper, black (the first stage of the "Great Work") indicates neuter and symbolizes dissolution.[19] White is symbolically associated with the feminine, and red is symbolically associated with the masculine.[20] From the implied gender of colors, one would expect the process represented to be black, white, then red. Alchemists, in constructing the color list, were likely to have incorporated their belief that the female was superior to the neuter, and that the male was more perfect than the female.
Social issues, like Christian symbolism, were not the only potential sources for the color list. Perhaps the alchemists were attempting to exploit natural evocations of color again fabricating the results from experiments to fit what they thought the results ought to be. It has been found that some colors can trigger specific reactions, even in animals.[21] Some artists anticipate primal reactions to color and select colors to generate moods in the viewers of their work.[22] Researchers have determined that "shape is associated with reasoning and color with emotion."[23] Therefore, if colors can be used to manipulate emotions, then moods could be associated with colors.
To that end, the creators of the color list would have chosen colors which initially suggest feelings of death or stasis and lastly perfection. Since black is conventionally associated with death,[24] black would also be associated with decomposition. Since decomposition results in a renewal of raw materials,[25] black can be associated with the most basic form an object can take. Therefore, the alchemist, in creating the color list, may have picked black as the beginning to represent the first step in the "Great Work." Red, on the other hand, has been found to generate feelings of rage and images of movement.[26] Because any substance that turns lead or mercury into gold would have to be active as well, red was a logical choice for the final color on the list.
It should be clear that more than empirical observation was put into alchemical texts. Alchemists were imagining their world the way they wanted it to be instead of how it was. Sherwood Taylor states: We cannot, in fact, interpret these complicated and fragmentary recipes well enough to say definitely what occurred, but it is clear that they were felt to be enormously significant by the alchemists who studied them, and that gave rise to impressive symbolic writings.[27]
In fact, it was not until the Eighteenth century when Lavoisier's call to arms converted science from a discipline that described a world the way it ought to be to a discipline that described the world the way it was.[28] Until his work, the color list like many pseudo-scientific theories controlled the imaginations of alchemists in their laboratories as well as the progress of science in general.

Why I Chose Weebly To Build My First Website
On a pale Sunday morning, I cracked my knuckles, uneasy with the stress that building a website was giving me. Scripting had never been my forte, so it definitely put me out of the league of cryptic coders and 'pro-websites'. But I was bent on having a personalized tag that would read 'All copyrights reserved', with that symbol which makes all the data my sole property. ©.
Being an amateur and a rustic Indian at heart, I was not willing to risk an investment. This led me to Google- 'free website hosting sites'. There were several links available. The list went on with hi-tech and lucidly efficient options which were based on sophisticated technologies and scripted in secured codes like PHP and SQL which is used by Joomla or WordPress.
I was disappointed to realize there was but; little scope for non-programmers. The templates were all appealing but Weebly seemed to have captured my specific attention. It was because it had a user friendly interface that gave me quick access and understanding to its myriad functioning. Another aspect that intrigued me was its programming which was done in HTML, which is decades old code and thus, holds magnanimous credibility.
Weebly provides large channels of social media integration, which defines wider outreach as well as inclusion of social plugins to make your webpage interactive as well as dynamic at the same hour.
The Weebly support Team has been at its toe to guide me; even though there is a painfully detailed information on 'How-to' on the Weebly website. If you need help designing your new website plumbing websites can help you get started. A space has been made available to include media files as well as animation for enhancing the aesthetic value of your prototype.
The revenue model was never neglected by Weebly when they designed the marketing strategy of this website rather it included the option of E-commerce and SEO which made it incredibly easy to be located on search engines.
In the end, Weebly is not a catch because of all that is mentioned but for it providing the option of a Weebly sub-domain as well as a '.com' domain hosted by Weebly.
Should You Use Weebly?
Weebly is ideal for small businesses, photographers, designers and personal websites as this South Coast Web Design company recommends. Basically, if you want to build a good looking and functional website quickly and painlessly so you can focus on other things, Weebly is a good choice for you, you can follow the advice of this website design miami on how to use weebly to build responsive and beautiful sites.

Make a cherry cheese danish wreath with canned crescent rolls filled with cream cheese and cherries.
Christmas morning is one of the most magical mornings of the entire year. So of course you want breakfast to be something special. This beautiful cherry cheese danish wreath is easy to make. It's also incredibly festive, making it perfect for Christmas morning.
If you want to make more, you can double this recipe by using another can of crescent rolls. Your circle in the center will be much bigger, and you'll need to increase the filling ingredients. The recipe calls for one can of 21 oz cherry pie filling, which will make about 3 of these. So plan ahead and make a few.
Cherry Cheese Danish Wreath
Preheat your oven to 375. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spray with nonstick cooking spray. You don't want this to stick so makes sure to grease the parchment paper. You can also use butter, shortening or oil to grease it. Once it's greased set the prepared baking sheet aside.
Put the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla in a small mixing bowl. We always bake with homemade vanilla extract. It's super easy to make and makes great gifts. You could also substitute half the vanilla with half almond extract to make a cherry almond wreath.
Mix the cream cheese thoroughly with the sugar and extract. You can use a wooden spoon, spatula, or a mixer to do this. Once the mixture is nice and smooth, set it aside.
Next prepare the dough wreath. Start by opening the crescent roll cans and then unrolling the crescent rolls. Place the crescent rolls, one at a time, onto your prepared baking sheet in a circle made with the flat bottoms of the crescent rolls in the center of the circle.
Think of it as a clock and place 1 triangle at 12, 3, 6 and 9. Place the additional 4 triangles in between, overlapping. Gently press the overlapping pieces together to form a solid piece of dough.
Use a spatula to carefully spread the cream cheese mixture onto dough in a circle around the center opening. Use up all of the mixture.
Then use a spoon to top the cream cheese filling with cherry pie filling. Focus on grabbing whole cherries out of the pie filling.
One can of 21 oz cherry pie filling will make about 3 wreaths. Go all the way around the center of the wreath with the cherries.
Once the filling has been added, fold over the tips of the dough, from the outside in, and tuck underneath the center of the dough. You may want to trim the pointy ends of the crescent rolls so they don't stick out the other side of the wreath. You can toss the ends or use them to make holly leaves for your wreath.
Continue all the way around the wreath until all of the rolls are tucked in. You can use the tips to make leaves, if you want, at this point.
Use a pastry brush to spread the melted butter on top of dough.
Finally, sprinkle with decorating sugar. You could use green sugar to make the wreath more green.
Bake the wreath in your preheated oven for 16-18 minutes or until golden brown.
Remove from oven, let stand for 5 minutes before serving warm topped with fresh mint.

Ingeborg Lundin was a Swedish glass artist, whose 1950s and 1960s designs are among the most influential of that era. Lundin got her education at Konstfack in Stockholm and started working at Orrefors directly after her graduation in 1947. She stayed at Orrefors until 1971, redefining the art of glass design with her pure, gracious, sometimes ethereal creations. Ingeborg Lundin received the Lunning prize in 1954 and a gold medal at the Milano Triennale in 1957.
