I read recently that the subconscious part of our brain knows our decisions before we are even aware of them.
I've heard this said over and over and not just by anyone but experts and doctors so it has to be true. That isn't my question however.
I've always been intrigued by how sometimes I'll be walking along, off to buy a French stick, searching for the loo or just anywhere and my mind is blank at the time, unthinking, when suddenly I'll look in a direction and find myself looking into the eyes of a person staring at me. The result is that one of us is startled and looks away in shock at the sudden discovery. Then it's forgotten.
The same thing happens when I stare at someone, (not in every case) and they immediately zone in on me like they detected my lock on! It's unnerving.
However, have you ever noticed that when you are consciously thinking, planning and hoping to attract their eyes either as an experiment or because you need to get their attention quietly, they never look!?!
Now to the question: Could it be that because your subconscious mind knows your decisions seven seconds before you do that both our minds know we will be looking at each other and that's why we always look EXACTLY at the right spot - right into their eyes? Or if that doesn't make much sense, could our subconscious mind know they are looking at us and when we aren't thinking and busying our conscious mind, it nudges us to respond to their stare?
Then this would be why it doesn't really work when you force it with the conscious mind because it doesn't happen with the conscious mind, it works only with the subconscious mind.
What do you think the reason is for this event?
1) What is a French stick?
2) I misread the opening title and thought... "Who is Brian and why is he reading our minds?"
3)I hate that thing, when your staring at someone and you don't even realize it and then they lock eyes with you and then you're like, "Awkward!"
4) I don't really understand the question, but in all honesty, I was still thinking about Brian.
5) What do you think is going on with our brains in the morning when we stare off into space and can't blink at all... not even if we tried to force our eyes shut... not happening.
Hey Beth and thanks for adding to the conversation. Seems these types of discussions can get rather lonely around here so its nice to have a little sense of humor added even if there are only THREE whole people to appreciate it!
A French stick is French bread, you know, those long pieces of bread that look like sticks and even snap like sticks in some cases!
haha, Brian! Well, let's make it more interesting shall we.
Brian is that guy with the amazing power of foresight. He always seems to know when someone is staring at me, or vice versa - when I'm staring at another of his buddies. That wouldn't be too bad if he didn't also tell on me and let that person know that I'm staring at them, meaning one of those "Awkward" moments happens!!
He really is insufferable at times but hey, what can we do? Brian's here to stay so we better learn to live with him.
Even on those mornings where Brian hypnotizes you while he potters away in the background and you are left staring open-mouthed at the wall or your breakfast.
Despite Brian's many flaws - I love him like father. He takes care of me.
Thanks for adding that Beth.
Hello Richawriter. This is a very interesting thought challenge in itself. Sharing I studied this for near a year and once published an article here on that subject. The quick of it is they have measured how fast the brain processes information at both the University of Arizona and Johns Hopkins.
How? They removed the top of the skull and then placed a neuronet upon it. With the wizardry of science the used the eye and the time to the occipital lobe recognized a sight seen. Seems it is near 4ms which based on the average brain size from front to back comes close to about 3.1mph or there about. That seems slow, yet it is only 9 inches about in distance. One may surmise that we can process information as fast we generally walk. Interesting when one considers a jet going at Mach III is flown by a pilot making decisions at 3.1mph. Does this mean we need computers to function in today's world?
For substantiation you may check out this PDF article. https://www.science.smith.edu/departmen … lTovee.pdf With a little prowling around you will discover the additional articles sharing the actual research of those universities.
Next, with your path chosen one may have to know how the brain does process information with the five sense and how fast each sense is recognized by each lobe or processing center of the brain for that sense. Then, consider the sixth and more if you wish.
A stark contrast with this thought exercise is the eye sees an object at the speed of light. It is not recognized as something until that near 4ms later. Ponder a 5ms computer screen monitor and the value of a 2 ms monitor. A sales gimick? I dun'no. Now, consider you saw a motor start up or the fan spins. Or it was sensed within 299,792,458 meters per second range. Yet, you heard it at a range of 340.29 meters per second. Which did you believe and why do people reassure themselves something is running by touch seeking a vibration?
Now, we have some idea of brain processing and sensing. What of perceptions? Do we perceive at that ms transfer rate between lobes as each individual axon, nodes, and etc provides information to the nucleus? I presume, since this is where I stopped thinking on this thought challenge, that the exchange moves with the speed of electrical impulses. We are told, by physicists, that electricity travels the same exact speed, through a wire, that light travels through a vacuum. Knowing ohms law being electrical current equals voltage divided by resistance then does perception slow with resistance and what would be that resistance? Distance of impulse and the neuromap?
An unverified premise I have is that the deja vu experience is we may see the event, recognize it at that governing brain lobe, yet not believe it until heard and governed by that brain lobe. Since we cannot touch the experience, as it is now in the past, we in essence re-experiencing it with a different sense. Or, first is sight followed by hearing. Thus, we ponder a sensed event as deja vu. Notation: Any combination of a faster sense vs. a slower sense. Do consider the brain does funny things such as presume for us on auto pilot or similar is recognized and consciously perceived as is or being reality.
Consider this does not discuss the mind nor spirituality. That is about where I stopped my research at a novice level. However, I concluded that any event I sense in fact is a past experience recognized in the present. Yet, it is still a past event in the big picture of the universe. So, am I conscious only of the past? I dun'no . . .
Here in is where pondering occurs when adding to with the conscious mind vs. the subconscious mind. Within the closed system of the brain they both exist and are electrical impulses moving near to the speed of light. Where does the subconscious mind exist? Is the conscious mind only those lobes or parts of the brain that process sensing. That leads to the pondering of original thought and again that is where I jumped ship sort to speak with my researching at a novice level. Can we use the RAM and ROM as a model of understanding this phenomena or did we when the computer as a system was designed?
Thank you for allowing me a moment to ponder the past and maybe reignite a passion for learning. Those are good questions to ponder and I hope more add to this thread.
Remember to have fun and live each moment as it comes as it comes . . .
Wow, tsmog!
That went very very deep but it was well worth the read. What stopped you from continuing your research? It seems like you were getting somewhere with it though judging by what you have written, it is rather mind-blowing stuff!
I take my hat off to you for going so far with it.
Conscious only of the past .... yes, yes, that is right isn't it? Everything, absolutely everything we react to with sense has already passed. Of course we can be experiencing the present but only if we stop and focus on it which is more of a spiritual practice these days, I guess, much like the practices of monks or Yogis.
Your deja vu theory is very interesting also and would definitely be worth studying some more.
Thanks for such an expansive and intelligent answer. You've really given me lots of food for thought with that answer.
interesting... does this mean that the subconscious can effectively pull off a plot twist each time in a dream if it wanted to? And what about random bursts countering your normal behavior? And what about chance? Let's say you can't decide whether to choose a T-shirt as white or black. You say, ah, let's flip a coin. Does that mean your subconscious can predict the outcome 7 seconds before you actually flip the coin? That would be insane...

Falling in Reverse
Falling in Reverse is the name of my daughter's favorite band. She went to see them last week and got her picture with the guitarist, Jacky Vincent. She was quite happy.

Based on similar pictures of girls a half century ago, I suspect it has something to do with a double dose of X-chromosome, especially when reacting to musicians (or those who pretend to be).
Fortunately, the effect is not permanent, and, in this case, will only add some more gray hairs to the father of the girl (in addition to those contributed by the father's son getting a driver's license).

And in the 1950s the girls (and women) screamed at the appearance of Elvis Presley; in the 40s the girls screamed for Frank Sinatra, and in the 30s it was Rudy Vallee. In the 1920's the girls' heartthrob was silent film star Rudoph Valentino.

Stop judging by appearances. Yes, he looked like that once upon a time. He doesn't anymore. Also, if you actually listened to his music, you would realize he's not pretending to be a musician. He is incredible. Pure talent. I have nothing more to say.

The decision to buy a latex mattress is one of the best decisions financially, environmentally, and comfort-wise you can make. However, buying the right natural latex mattress for your sleep needs is critical. Learning about the various options ahead of time can help you make a wiser, more informed decision. These are the types of latex mattresses from which you can choose.
The Dunlop tradition for constructing mattresses has been around since 1929. This method whips the rubber sap into a rich froth and then pours it into a mold, covers it, and heats it. During the process, natural sediment sinks to the bottom where it settles, creating a firmer bottom for the mattress. This creates an extremely supportive and somewhat firm mattress.
The Talalay process for creating latex foam mattresses is newer than the Dunlop process and in this method the foam is flash frozen before heating. The structure from top to bottom is more consistent since there is no settling. This means it's not as firm as a Dunlop mattress. That doesn't mean that it lacks support however — only that it's more forgiving of curves and pressure points than the Dunlop mattresses.
A natural latex mattress is made of 100 percent natural ingredients. There are no petrochemicals used in its construction and the comfort of sleeping on this mattress is unsurpassed. These mattresses have a tendency to last upwards of 20 years and resist dust mites, mold, and mildew. The one downside is the price. They are more expensive than other varieties and other types of mattresses — at least as far as the "up front" costs are concerned. When you consider the fact that they are built to last more than 20 years, you'll see how much of a bargain you're getting.
Because the costs of natural latex mattresses is so high, hybrid latex mattresses have been created. Hybrid simply means that it contains latex and another material (typically memory foam). These mattresses are made using chemical formulations and built to last — though they do not last nearly as long as all-natural latex mattresses. The major benefit of purchasing a hybrid latex mattress is the price. It's much more affordable for people on a budget. Keep in mind, however, that it is not the same quality investment that a natural latex mattress is.
Blended latex is a compromise of sorts between natural and hybrid latex mattresses. Most blended latex mattresses on the market today are made of 70 percent natural latex with 30 percent synthetic latex. Blended latex is not a completely natural mattress option, and is almost exclusively made of Talalay construction, but it does retain many of the qualities and features people appreciate about natural latex with a lower price tag.
Latex mattresses are an investment, but they are a long-term investment that bring better back health, better sleeping conditions, and a reasonable lifetime cost. If you're in the market for a new mattress, these facts about latex mattress types should help you make your final decision.

Since I've been all about holiday cooking lately, I thought I would throw another one your way. Hopefully you're hosting a huge meal and you're loving all the seasonal flavors. If not, too bad.
Actually, not really, but I promise I won't be posting about holiday foods for the rest of this blogs life. Lucky for us good things come from holiday cooking. To be honest, I was really dreading saying goodbye to summer fruit and warm nights grilling outside, but that was all quickly forgotten thanks to some fall and winter staples like, squash, pomegranates, sweet potatoes and a newly discovered love of walnuts.
Inspired by this recipe, I decided to make honey, walnut and goat cheese crostini with pomegranate arils one afternoon for lunch. I knew it would be delicious, but I couldn't wait for Christmas to eat it. It needed to be made right away.
I wasn't disappointed. In fact, it was even better than I could have possibly imagined and they looked even more beautiful, making them the perfect bite-sized crowd pleasing party appetizer.
Yes, it is the perfect marriage between tart, sweet and earthy, all piled atop lightly toasted (fresh!) bread. Like usual, I couldn't stop eating. Which reminds me, if you make these for a crowd, expect them to go fast! My advice? Make extra.
Honey, Walnut and Goat Cheese CrostiniPrint Recipe Pin Recipe Rate Recipe
- 1 French-bread baguette - 1lb
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 cup raw walnut pieces - roughly chopped
- 8 oz fresh herbed goat cheese
- 1/2 cup pomegranate arils
- 1/3 Honey for drizzling - approximately 1/4 - 1/2 cup
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Slice the baguette into approximate 1/2 inch slices and arrange them on a large baking sheet. Using a pastry brush, very lightly coat the top and bottom of each slice with olive oil.
- On a second baking sheet, arrange the walnuts in a single layer.
- Into your preheated oven, place the baking sheets with both the bread slices and walnut pieces on different racks.
- Carefully watching the walnuts, allow them to cook for approximately 5-7 minutes. You know they are done when they are golden brown and fragrant. They burn quickly, so check every minute or so. Meanwhile, allow the baguette slices to bake for 15-20 minutes, or until they are nice and golden. Remove from the oven.
- Allow the crostinis to cool for a few minutes before applying the toppings (to prevent the goat cheese from melting). Once cooled, spread a thin layer of coat cheese on to each crostini and top with the walnuts and pomegranates and a drizzle of honey. Best served warm, but they are also delicious cold.

The smallness of this book attests to the lack of knowledge of the diseases of the small bowel. It is apparent that this segment of the gastrointestinal tract has received less study than the remaining portions, which is perhaps due to its being more silent in its diseases than the rest. With the exception of complete obstruction of the small intestine, the symptoms produced by a pathological small bowel are far less dramatic than those of the stomach or colon.

An R-docker hello world example
This document will run you through the steps to building, running and connecting a docker container that runs R. We will
- Set up a dockerfile
- Set up a composer file
- Build a container
- Run a container with Rstudio
- Connect to that container and run a script
- Write the output back to a mounted data folder on the host
- Look at how to set up other connections that you might use often
To play along at home, clone or download the directory from https://github.com/SymbolixAU/r_docker_hello
About docker
Docker is a management system/environment for using containers. Containers are built on top of hosts. They share the same kernel and hardware controllers but might have a different linux flavour or set of libraries on top.
We set up container images that are like snapshots of the container we want - all the libraries, files etc. We then run the container to set up a temporary instance that contains all our working files. When we are done we stop the container and all data and any local changes are lost forever!!! To save the output of a container instance we must write the data back to the host or somewehere else that's permanent.
This youtube video is an excellent practical introduction to the world of containers. For this example I am assuming that you are working on a machine that already has docker installed.
This example
Clone or download the repository from https://github.com/SymbolixAU/r_docker_hello. Change directory to

hello_world.Rscript that we will run in our container
- Data folder: The simplest input data you will ever see. We will also mount this folder when we run the container and we will write our output back to it.
- DockerConfig: Everyone likes particular libraries, so I've made a
requirements.Rthat will be run whenever you build your container.
Let's do this...
Inside the Dockerfile
# Base image https://hub.docker.com/u/rocker/
FROM rocker/rstudio
## Install extra R packages using requirements.R
## Specify requirements as R install commands e.g.
## install.packages("<myfavouritepacakge>") or
## devtools::install("SymbolixAU/googleway")
COPY ./DockerConfig/requirements.R /tmp/requirements.R
RUN Rscript /tmp/requirements.R
## uncomment to include shiny server
# #RUN export ADD=shiny && bash /etc/cont-init.d/add
# create an R user
ENV USER rstudio
## Copy your working files over
COPY ./Analysis /home/$USER/Analysis
COPY ./Data /home/$USER/Data
Dockerfiles are used to build up an image. We start FROM a base image. Then we COPY files or RUN extra commands or set specific ENV variables. The Dockerfile lives in the top of the project and should be called Dockerfile with a capital D.
In this example, we are starting from the rocker/studio image. These are public (not official) but they are solid and very well supported. Rocker also have images for r-base (rocker/r-base) and a geospatial suite (rocker/rstudio-geospatial). This has all the basic spatial libraries (sp, sf) installed plus all the stuff you require outside of R to make them work (e.g. GDAL).
To install extra libraries we specify them in
requirements.R. On build, this is copied onto the instance and run to install the libraries.
Finally the build copies our files over - the
Analysis folder and the
Data folder. We put these in the home directory of our user, called
Build it
Type the following command into the command line. You must be in the same directory as your Dockerfile.
sudo docker build --rm --force-rm -t rstudio/hello-world .
--rm --force-rm just forces the container to delete itself once its scripts run or you log out. It just stops us filling up the server with lots of containers doing nothing. Once this has built run
sudo docker image list
to see your image added to the list. We've called it
rstudio/hello-world but you can call it anything.
Run it
We want to use this image to access rstudio so we want it running as a background service (i.e. in detacted mode) we use the flag
-d to do this. If you want to access a bash shell or other interactive mode, you need to specify
Rstudio runs on port 8787 within the container. We need to map this to an unused port on the host machine with a
-p <host port>:<container port> We will use 28787, but this can be any used port.
We will call our container
hello-world. This is the simple run command:
sudo docker run -d --rm -p 28787:8787 -e PASSWORD=SoSecret! --name hello-world rstudio/hello-world
Run this command and access the container through your webbrowser at
<yourhostip:28787>. Username is
rstudio and password is
EDIT (18/01/2019) The command above used to be
sudo docker run -d --rm -p 28787:8787 --name hello-world rstudio/hello-world
because earlier versions of the Docker image had a default password option of
rstudio. In current versions the run will fail unless you specify a password at runtime. Thanks to Renato and triari who pointed this out in the comments below.
In rstudio, type
You will see that you can see the Analysis and Data folder but there are two problems.
- In order to write to a file within Docker (through rstudio) you need to have the right userid. With these rocker images you can get that by specifying -e USERID=$UID in the run command. Then you can write and you can make changes to files and save them within the container.
- It's all well and good to write to the local container but this data won't be permanent. We can write our output back to the host directory by mounting a host directory as a volume on the container with -v /full/path/to/dir . This is also useful in development as you can make changes in your permanent host folder which are then immediately available on the container without rebuilding it.
Before we fix the problem we need to stop the container that's running (it's no good for us):
sudo docker stop hello-world
Now lets try again. If you look in run_docker.sh you will see a better version and explanation. Basically its:
sudo docker run -d --rm -p 28787:8787 --name hello-world2 -e USERID=$UID -e PASSWORD=SoSecret! -v $DATA_DIR:/home/rstudio/Data rstudio/hello-world
Note in the above I have also set the password manually -- you can make it anything you want.
Run the commands above, log into
<yourhostip:28787> and try sourcing the script. It should run and write to the Data folder.
Finally, go back to the command line once more. Type
ls Data and you should see the output file there also.
One more thing. In the rstudio window, open up
Analysis/hello.world.R add a line to the bottom - any command you want and save it and run it.
Final question - if I check the contents of
Analysis/hello.world.R on the command line (i.e. back on the host) will it have your new line? Why?
One last challenge:
(Stop the old container first). Now run it again, but set it up so you can make changes into hello.world.R on the command line and immediately have them show up and work in Rstudio.

I think twice before showing anyone personal work because I don't want people to think I'm all wonky.
Well, I'm wonky. I'm weird. Probably kind of awkward, I trip over myself every single session, I don't always know what to do or say when I walk into someone else's house for a family session, if you can laugh at me, with me and be okay with my weird-ness, I think we'll get along just fine.
Here's a few favorites of my personal work over the past year!!!
Weird on.
My daughter putting bologna on her face while the dog begs behind her. ha!
A moment alone for a mother.
My son being a zombie at school.
chocolate milk silly face.
I don't get to walk Duluth often, but when I do it's a treasured time. I love downtown. I'm working on my own self portraits (some inspired by Vivian Maier. Visit her site or watch the documentary on Netflix.) and I happened to catch my reflection in the window of Essentia hospital.

It is no easy task to get to Key West. It is about 160 miles from Miami to the tip of the Florida Keys, which is where Key West is located, and if you are driving, the only route is a mostly single-lane road known as the Overseas Highway. Speed limits are low, but the scenery is beautiful.
The road got its name from the fact that much of it is actually long bridges between the pieces of the coral archipelago that form the Keys.
At its southernmost tip, Key West is only 90 miles from Cuba. No wonder Ernest Hemingway was so often linked to Cuban politics and politicians. I could also understand why he would like this region with its out-of-the-way location and surrounding wild sea.
The yard was being decorated for a wedding to be held that evening. I can only imagine what it costs to rent the Hemingway House. Yikes.
The house itself is filled with Hemingway memorabilia. I enjoyed the posters for the movies made from Hemingway's books and was impressed by the line-up of very famous actors and actresses who starred in them. There was also a copy of the July 1961 Time magazine that featured Hemingway on the cover shortly after he took his own life:
