Does religion cause the placebo effect?
I'm not an atheist. I choose not to be. I have a believe system that guides me and gives me strength. Is the strength real or part of the divine? Who knows. I can however say that it's made an impact on my life purely because I believe in it. Does my conviction give me power? I believe it does.
The placebo effect is well documented and researched. It is very real even though it's only in your head. I wish to propose that it is belief that makes the benefits real. A woman believes that God will cure her so she has a higher change of getting better just because she believes it will.
Blind believe is one of the things that separate us from most animals. We can believe something without proof and let it guide our entire life. We should use this human quality to our advantage. Made that's the power behind positive thinking too?

Mar 26 2013: Does music, color, light and/or laughter cause the placebo effect?
- +2
Like many things that effect health, there is part that is an placebo effect and part the is a psychical, chemical or something else affect.
My point being is that just because there is a placebo effect, we cannot assume it is 100% placebo effect.
For example: look at eastern medicines, for many years in the west they were assumed to be 100% placebo effect.
Mar 27 2013: I agree, we always need to be curious and rule out the placebo effect if possible. This is how most drug studies are done. The drug must out preform known placebo benchmark before it's considered viable. Scary though, I've heard there are some drugs on the market that preform below the placebo effect benchmark.Apr 4 2013: This person can become scared and anxious. He may have insomnia, elevated blood pressure, increased respiration rates. He is using his body to adapt to the situation. Now, this same man may, instead of using fear and anxiety, rationalize about his condition. That may make him calm and centered, and instead of fearing for himself, he may instead opt to take the situation in a logical and rational way. So, his perception of the situation was changed by his beliefs, and his body is also changed by it.
Religion is just like any other knowledge. It helps you to aproach, understand and deal with the world. Its a reality modulator. With religion you have simple answers to deal with a large scope of problems. Instead of fearing for your life you believe that you will live after death. So, again, your knowledge changes your perception, which, in turn, also changes your body.
So, considering religion to be a placebo is flawed, because its just a ideology that people believe to be able to deal with events that reality throw at them. Fortunaly many atheists can live with it because they have created their own coping mechanisms. Religion is good because it has been evolving through the centuries to deal with things that effect most people. So you could say its a survical/defense mechanism neatly organized in a nice pack that, most of the times, help people deal with their everyday problems. Its a "mind software" like Windows and Linux are for computers.
Considering docts cant really "creaty" anything, or "destroy" disease (disregarding surgery and infectious disease), most of the real work on healing is though the patients body. Doctors use the patient own body to help itself. For example, blood pressure drugs use the patients physiology throught drugs that ressemble neurotransmiters, hormones or other chemical transmitters. We "manipulate" the body, not really change it. If healing depends on us manipulating the body, why cant religion, which also manipulates the body, heal it?Apr 4 2013: Using the term "placebo" for religion effect on humans is wrong, because placebo implies that the cause has no real effect on the subject. That is wrong. Religion effect on someone can be properly quantified.
It is logicaly and scientificaly proved that our enviroment changes our body. For example, whenever we see something dangerous our perception realizes it and engage body functions that prepares us to either "fight or flee". Neurotransmiters, hormones and other bodily functions change to adapt our physiology to a new situation. That has been researched by science. It is the essence of "stress".
So: Perception -> Physiological changes -> Change in matter (body).
What is also proved by science is that our perception is changed by knowledge. When we deal with a confortable situation, we are much less prone to have intense emotions. Intense emotions are reflections of bodily changes, like increased heart rate, increased production of cathecolamines, increase or decrease of neurotransmitters.
Lets look at an example: The first time you drive. When you are starting, you are nervous. Your body is prepared to either fight or run away. You get sweaty hands, increased heart and respiratory rate. Your "enviroment" is unknown and that means you use basic emotions because you lack higher brain functions like learned behaviors to deal with the situation. But as you get better and better, you adapt, create apropiate behaviors and start using less and less emotions and start using knowledge and inteligence.
That means knowledge changed your perception, which in turn changed the way your body reacts to the enviroment.
Religion is knowledge. It may not the the real truth, but it is the truth for the believer. That means that this knowledge changes his perception, which in turn changes the way he deals with reality.
For example, someone who doesnt believe in god may get to know that he has a terminal disease. That makes him scared: He doesnt know what to do.
Apr 25 2013: "...placebo implies that the cause has no real effect on the subject"
"Placebo" doesn't imply that. It means that the experimental subject was not given the test treatment, though he believes he received it by getting a pill or whatever (the placebo). Any ameliorative effects on the subject are therefore credited to that belief. The belief had a real effect on the subject, and that's the placebo effect. It seems that a belief or faith in the efficacy of anything, say divine protection or your own competence, is at least related to the placebo effect, though we may not choose to call it that, so as not to broaden the term beyond recognition.

Mar 27 2013: Does atheism cause the negative-placebo effect?
- +1
There was at least one study that showed trusting you doctor instead of managing your doctor's care, showed to have quicker recovery time. I believe the study suggested that was not an increase in stress, but instead the decrease in positive thoughts that made the difference.
So does the lack of trust in a higher being cause reduced positive thinking, via spending mental time/energy trying control your outcome in life.
Mar 27 2013: Please post study.
As I would argue irreligious thinking actives similar brain chemistry that a religious person would achieve in their belief-based thoughts.
IF ANYTHING the practice of philosophy, in general, will lower your positive thinking and be more pragmatic with projected outcomes and current situations. Religion itself says nothing about how much positive thinking an individual will endure, there are a lot of Jewish theologians who are just dark people.
Please post study.Mar 27 2013: This would be consistent with the placebo effect.Mar 26 2013: 'I'm not an atheist. I choose not to be.'
You can't 'choose' not to be an atheist or a non-atheist without personal deception.
If you're intellectually honest then you're an atheist or you're not.
'Is the strength real or part of the divine? Who knows.'
Why phrase this topic in the form of a question if you've already decided on the answer?
'A woman believes that God will cure her so she has a higher change of getting better just because she believes it will.'
Double-blind studies on the effects of prayer don't conclude that, also there have also been studies that conclude that placebos work...even when the patient knows they've been given a placebo pill..
So essentially, such thought experiments don't always statistically work and when they do, you don't need to believe they will...
So what is the point in having blind belief aspect?
(Besides potentially harming yourself if the placebo doesn't work and avoiding legitimate treatment because you're too busy rationalizing the results away, because you're believing in it blindly..)
Mar 27 2013: Everything in life you believe is a choice. The more you know the more choices you have. Unless you are not aware of the choice then you simply float through life.
I'm glad you brought up the positive placebo effect. This is one more reason why I think that you can make a choice in what to believe, and depending on that believe it will have negative or positive affects on your life. I also have no doubt that some people will be better at this than others.
I don't think blind believe is the answer. I'm merely stating that we as humans have that capacity. As for harming yourself with placebo's - I don't think that's an issue unless your believe is negative. We all know we can think ourselves sick.Apr 12 2013: "You choose to accept God, correct? There for it must be conscious. You choose to believe that your faith will help you in life. Maybe god exist, maybe not. Just like the sugar pill you will get the benefits regardless."
1. A lot of people are given 'God' through indoctrination. I do not necessarily accept 'God' until God is defined.
2. Yes, but the consciousness of God existed before I did, thus 1. and thousands of years of documents of information relating to an idea of 'God' or many ideas.
3. People do believe the faith does assist them in life, yes, but this does not inference to the fact it is a 'placebo effect', therefore there exist a physical substance which an individual believes will help them in such a cognitive reaction.
3.a. As the below will summarize - calling it a 'placebo effect' ignores a lot of relative reasoning behind faith-based conformism and practice.
It's not that the faith makes people happy or feel enlightened, necessarily. It's that the refusal of the faith will cause dysphoria. If the faith is never challenged they are happy, but there are no sugar pills there is environment and education. This isn't about tricking the brain, this is about straight out brain chemistry relating to social and group-thinking.
What effects the final cause of both 'placebo effect' and 'faith-based states of mind' may be ontologically similar but the exact nature of the cause, goes beyond even those two concepts. What causes someone to feel better on false premises? (To simplify it to such a simplistic answer (placebo effect) shows disregard for the nature in which humans think, a complex activation of evolutionary factors and cultural responses PLUS more)
Let me put it this way. Religious belief or faith, is not at the extent of taking a red pill or the blue pill, lol.
Faith in anything develops overtime with communal and cultural interactions. The reasoning one would believe to take a pill and feel better, is a cultural+individual causality.Mar 27 2013: Fundamentalism practices does provide a lot for optimism biases to develop. But, a placebo effect is something which an individual is conscious of, and is knowingly accepting. While religion regards something primal (subconscious) and unconscious, and stimulates a lot of metaphysical desires we have as humans. It's a bit shallow to say religious knowledge is based on a placebo effect, because whether they are really 'knowledgeable' about various positions and ideologies of God in general, will affect her own thinking positive thinking. How strong is the thought of God to her? Will demonstrate whether or not the placebo is the primary cause for motivation to get better. Perhaps, to the individual, God is found within family or community more often than a deity, because the thought of God would be attached to the emotions her friends/family give her.
Not as simple as what you are proposing, but it is a good jump off point.
Mar 27 2013: you define placebo effect wrong, placebo effect is a result of medical testing of drugs, where people who where sick (in some way) where given sugar pills without them knowing it is not actual drugs. These people then started seeing improvements. So the placebo effect is totally in the unconcious part of the brain.
Mar 28 2013: "But, a placebo effect is something which an individual is conscious of, and is knowingly accepting."
They accepted the sugar pills believing they were more. It is not strictly unconscious, they had to be aware of the fact this pill may do something.
Its just as much conscious as unconscious.
Mar 28 2013: You choose to accept God, correct? There for it must be conscious. You choose to believe that your faith will help you in life. Maybe god exist, maybe not. Just like the sugar pill you will get the benefits regardless.Mar 27 2013: The planet would benefit more from us asking Who Am I. Questions, ideas, and debate on God lead to further and further fragmentation of human thought as is evidenced in the world. See the God/Religion debate for what it Actually Is and it will fall away. Then turn inward. Death waits for us all. Do your work
Apr 9 2013: Who am I. The most important question to answer for yourself. However, some are not ready to ask these questions as they believe it's answered by their religion or faith.
I enjoyed this question so much but I figured I should move on to the next question. Once you know who you are, what do you do with with knowledge? I had this debate with a friend of mine and he thinks the next question to be answered is "What constitutes and good life?".
Death awaits us all. Lets make our waking conscious period count. Ask many questions :)Mar 27 2013: It maybe. But, who can separate mind of body effects? In my opinion they are so integrated that the effects on one of them affect to the other, like or not.
And if religion causes placebo effect, anyway welcome!
Gail .
Mar 27 2013: Belief in the non-existent God, and that which quantum physics demonstrates is highly improbable (IF there is a god, it bears no resemblance to the God of Abraham), is a choice. Unless one was raised in a family of atheists, atheism is not a choice. It's a realization.
- 0
This said, Christianity has a track record that is opposite of all that it says it stands for. Is that mayhem and cruelty a placebo effect that you can live with? You could call it a placebo effect. You could also call it denial or delusion. Whatever works for you works for you. But as soon as you use your "placebo effect" to turn against all who are different than you (as is happening in the USA), and a religion of love and peace becomes a religion of abuse and tyranny, then it's time for eyes to open and behaviors to be seen for what they are.
Mar 27 2013: Consciousness can alter reality. This quantum experiments have shown. By merely expecting a result that result will be produced. Sounds familiar? Lovely topic ;)
In essence I agree with you. The old image of god with a white beard is redundant. However the fact remain that people are accomplishing extraordinary acts (both good and bad) in the name of their religion/believes. No matter how naive this might seem the effect cannot be ignored. The good thing is, for those who realize that the old believes are irrelevant and drop them are free to choose a new believe system. We have to believe something. Is this denial or delusion? I don't think so. Else everything is a delusion, because the question of the existence of a greater purpose or god can never be answered. So to decided there's no-god is the same as deciding there is one/many gods. It comes down to what do you want to accomplish in your life and does your believes push those ideals.

En español | Hiring for seasonal jobs is heating up. So if you're looking for some extra income, there's no time like the present to go job hunting.
Some positions you may not have considered, but that are in demand at this time of year, include parking lot attendants and florist shop arrangers and deliverers. Or how about playing Santa at the local mall?
Bob Dunn, a 76-year-old retired seafood salesman, played Santa at a mall for four years. He filled his stocking with $10,000 to $15,000 for the 10-hour-a-day, six-week gig, depending on his contract.
See also: How to get hired for the holidays
Here's the lowdown on 12 holiday jobs that could be just right for you. Pay ranges are generally from the Bureau of Labor Statistics and vary by employer and where you live.
1. Santa Claus
This is not for the weak-kneed. Children of all ages climb and bounce on you as they murmur their wishes into your ear. Sitting for hours in a bulky red suit can also be demanding. If you're hired by an outside Santa distributor, a firm that places Santas at shopping malls, you might have to travel to the mall assigned to you and spend 40-plus days staying in a nearby motel room equipped with a small fridge and microwave. Contract Santas work typically six weeks, but jobs vary.
Pay range: From $10 to $200 an hour. Contract pay for the 40-day season can range from around $10,000 for a rookie to more than $50,000 for a more experienced Santa, depending on the mall and location.
Qualifications: It helps if you look the part. Santas can be any race but they must be male. Having a natural beard helps. Padding can be tucked in to get that roly-poly belly. Expect a criminal background check and drug screening.
Contact smaller malls, department stores, photo shops and special event party planners directly for openings. Check local classified ads. National staffing services typically provide Santa impersonators to the larger malls. Three of the bigger ones: Cherry Hill Photo Enterprises Inc., Worldwide Photography and Noerr Programs Corp. You'll need to apply online and go for an in-person interview. If they like your look and attitude, you'll slip into costume and makeup for headshots, which are sent to the mall reps for selection. If you're picked, the service will negotiate your contract and send you to Santa school for tips on appropriate behavior and conversations, suggestions for calming kids, and makeup help.

How can I format an SD card directly inside Android?
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Android Enthusiasts Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for enthusiasts and power users of the Android operating system. It's 100% free, no registration required.
These steps were using an HTC EVO with HTC Sense - your menu options may be different but should be similar.
There should be a "Format SD Card" in the phone "Settings". Open "Settings", then go to "SD & Phone Storage", then you should see "Format SD Card". If the option is grayed out then you may need to unmount your sd card first and then format the card. Make sure you have backed up anything you want to save with a backup app or just by copying whatever files off your card onto a computer because this will erase everything on the card.
Hope this helps

|Full Radio Broadcast: Georgia Tech 38, Duke 14
|Condensed Game: Georgia Tech 38, Duke 14
|Full Game Replay: Georgia Tech 38, Duke 14
DURHAM, N.C. -- Georgia Tech scored 28 unanswered points en route to a 38-14 win over Duke in the teams' ACC football opener at Wallace Wade Stadium. The Yellow Jackets finished with 469 yards of total offense in the game.
Quarterback Brandon Connette, in his second career start, threw for 122 yards on 15-of-28 passing and ran for 15 yards. Running back Jela Duncan led the Blue Devils' running game with 89 yards on 16 carries and one touchdown.
Georgia Tech quarterback Vad Lee threw for 125 yards and four touchdowns, while running back Robert Godhigh amassed 79 yards on four carries.
After holding Georgia Tech (2-0, 1-0 ACC) to a field goal on its opening possession, Duke (2-1, 0-1 ACC) came right back and marched 72 yards on nine plays to take a 7-3 lead on a one-yard plunge by Duncan into the end zone. The Blue Devils took to the ground seven times on the drive with Duncan and Juwan Thompson combining for 45 yards. Connette added 27 yards through the air, including a 20-yard strike to Braxton Deaver to send the Blue Devils into Yellow Jacket territory.
With a 10-yard rush that put Duke at 1st-and-goal, Thompson eclipsed the 1,000-yard career mark. He is just the 40th Blue Devil to reach the benchmark in Duke history.
Georgia Tech responded with a nine-play 79-yard drive of its own to regain the 10-3 advantage. A 44-yard run by Godhigh put the Yellow Jackets into the red zone for the first time on the afternoon and Lee completed the possession with a four-yard dash for six points.
Trailing 17-7 with Georgia Tech threatening to score, Duke cornerback Ross Cockrell pulled in a highlight-reel interception at the Blue Devil four-yard line to keep the Yellow Jackets off the scoreboard. The interception was the 10th of Cockrell's career, pushing him to a tie for sixth in the Duke career records book.
The Yellow Jackets tacked on a touchdown in the final 42 seconds on a 10-yard pass from Lee to David Smelter for a 24-7 halftime lead.
Duke, after amassing 134 yards of offense in the opening quarter, was held to just 39 yards in the second period. Overall, the Blue Devils finished with 173 yards of offense in the first half, while Georgia Tech picked up 264 yards, 196 of which came on the ground.
The Blue Devils' scoring drought ended in the opening seconds of the fourth quarter as Connette scampered seven yards for his 19th career rushing touchdown. Started by a 20-yard punt return to the Georgia Tech 27-yard line by Jamison Crowder, Duncan tacked on 20 yards on two carries to set up Connette for the score.
Similar to the second quarter, Georgia Tech added a late touchdown in the fourth to come away with a 38-14 win and remain unbeaten on the year.
Linebacker Kelby Brown highlighted the Blue Devils' defense with a career-high 17 tackles, including seven solo stops. Safety Jeremy Cash also had a career day for Duke, making 14 tackles and recording his first forced fumble.
The Blue Devils return to action Saturday, Sept. 21 as Duke welcomes Pitt to Wallace Wade Stadium for a 12:30 p.m. kickoff.

Horace Campbell is Professor of African American Studies and Political Science at Syracuse University in Syracuse New York. He is a noted Pan African Scholar and writer. From his early years in Jamaica, Campbell has been involved in the Liberation Struggle and in the struggles for peace and justice. From his years in Toronto, Canada to his sojourns in Africa (Uganda, Tanzania and Zimbabwe), the United Kingdom and the Caribbean, he has been an influential force, offering alternatives to the hegemonic ideas of Eurocentrism. In an attempt to theorize new concepts of revolution in the 21st century Horace Campbell has been seeking to popularize the philosophy of ubuntu and to expand on his ideas of fractals and the importance of emancipatory politics. His new book, Barack Obama and 21st Century Politics: A Revolutionary Moment in the USA, is about the centrality of the humanist philosophy of ubuntu to emancipatory politics and the reconceptualization of revolution in the 21st century.

What are the best ways to teach key literacy skills, keeping the Common Core State Standards at the fore? How can you fill in what's missing from the CCSS document? Most important, how do you make adjustments in your own classroom, based on your students' specific needs?
Field-leading scholars come together here to shed light on the 10 College and Career Readiness Anchor Standards for Reading, to define the literacy skills that students must develop to achieve the Standards, and to give practical suggestions for meeting the challenges the Standards present in real-world classrooms. Chapters cover key areas of the CCSS, such as informational text, text complexity, vocabulary development, and making the most of 21st-century tools and technology—and offer solutions for a number of critical areas not specifically included in the CCSS document, such as early literacy, engagement, teaching learners from diverse backgrounds, and Response to Intervention. The final chapter provides the research foundations for the CCSS to give you a rich, well-rounded view.
"Try This!" segments and discussion questions make this a perfect resource for personal study, preservice teacher education, and school-based professional learning communities.

Screenshot of Vogue's Best Dressed List with no Kim K (Vogue.com)
Vogue cropped the 32-year-old reality star – who scored a last-minute invite to the A-List event thanks to her baby daddy – out of a photo she posed for with West, which the mag posted on its website.
But don't go reciting "The Devil Wears Prada" just yet. To be fair, Vogue was listing its picks for the night's best-dressed guests, and while West made the cut, that doesn't mean his better half would automatically be included. Really, what other choice did the fashion bible have but to do a little Photoshopping?
Wintour did, however, allow Kardashian's presence to be documented on Vogue's website, just under the standard red carpet arrivals gallery.
Kardashian's floral dress with matching gloves and heels was widely criticized, prompting a side-by-side photo comparison of Kardashian and Robin Williams's character from "Mrs. Doubtfire" to circulate online. (Williams thinks he wore it best, for what it's worth.)
Givenchy's Riccardo Tisci came to Kardashian's defense on Wednesday saying, "She looked amazing. She was the most beautiful pregnant woman I dressed in my career."
While Wintour and Kardashian appeared to make peace (for the night), rumor has it West may have fallen out of Vogue's good graces. The New York Post's Page Six, claimed West, 35, "annoyed organizers by performing new music unfamiliar to the audience rather than a set of well-known hits that was prearranged."

The Grunberg Haus Inn ("Green Mountain House" in German) is a Vermont Inn in a romantic mountainside Austrian Bed and Breakfast chalet built in Tyrolean style architecture. Our inn specializes in casual and informal lodging with personalized attention. We strive for a friendly and relaxed Vermont country atmosphere.
Guests treasure a wonderful night's sleep in a comfortable bed and wake to savor the smell of freshly baked breads and muffins.
You can wander along the trails through the inn's surrounding maple and pine forest. In the evenings, enjoy the fire in the livingroom's large fireplace made of Vermont stone, or the gameroom's beautiful Vermont Hearthstone wood stove. The atmosphere here is classic European country inn: rural, informal, rustic, and quiet.
The inn has one first-floor guest room, eight second-floor rooms, and two third-floor suites that are furnished with country antiques, comforters and quilts. The second floor rooms open to a balcony that surrounds the inn and provides a relaxing view. The first floor room has its own small deck which connects to the inn's main garden deck at the rear of the building.
There are two suites on the third floor which each have their own private balconies. The balcony on the Mark Suite at the front of the building often makes guests remark that they feel like they are in a tree house. The balcony at the rear of the building off the Chris Suite has a great view of the woods surrounding the inn.
The inn is open year around and the cabins are open from late May to the end of October.
The Grunberg Haus is centrally located in the Green Mountains of north central Vermont, near the state's highest peak (Mt Mansfield - about a 25 minute drive) and third highest (Camel's Hump - about a 20 minute drive). Stowe village is about 20 minutes north of the inn and Sugarbush is about 20 minutes south. Mad River Glen and Bolton Valley ski areas are also close. The state capital of Montpelier is about a 15 minute drive. Burlington and Lake Champlain are close too - about a 40 minute drive drive.
Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream factory is near (ten minute drive), as are Cold Hollow Cider Mill, Cabot Cheese, and Lake Champlain Chocolates. The University of Vermont (UVM), Champlain College, Saint Michael's, Norwich University, and Goddard College are also very nearby.
Despite being close to these traditional Vermont attractions, the inn is in a quiet forest location only three miles from Waterbury and five miles from Interstate 89. We are on scenic and popular Route 100 but we are unusual in being more than 500 feet back from the road instead of being right next the road as most lodging places are. Everything you would want to see or do in Vermont is conveniently located nearby. And we are very happy to sit down with you and give you maps, literature, advice, tips, and directions! Please take a look at the Locations/Directions page for more details.

Gallery: Raumlabor's 'Big Crunch' is an Incredible Building Made from D...
The core of the Big Crunch consists of a tubular metal frame that has been wrapped in strips of wood lattice. Various debris are hung from this foundation, and the center of the mound features a small room with openings at both ends. The materials are layered to create a sense of direction and movement that flows from the entrance to the direction of the theater.
Taking discarded items from civilization and combining them in a frenetic mound is a provocative statement — Raumlaborberlin sees it as "a gathering place and forum for conflict and discussions." Like the eye of a storm, the frenzied chaos is haunting. The structure seems to have been assembled by another force – one that has left behind a trail of debris composed of items that society no longer deems valuable. Whether visitors are amused by the work or other emotions arise, we hope they are up-to-date on their tetanus shots.

… some ideas can be uniquely bad and lazy. the interiors are so busy that I chat I would not be able to find my bed there. Besides, a passing breeze would probably blow me away.
July 2, 2011 at 12:25 pm
I approve of material reusage to the point where as a construction professional I always abide deconstruction rather than demolition.. With that said, this monstrosity is an eyesore and a liability. One strong wind and who knows how much dangerous debris could be launched from that pile.

Wow! This project makes me not want to buy anything that can be recycled. I imagine this isn't even just one person's waste over a life span. It's important to be aware of all the different ways you can recycle or discard of unwanted items properly. For example if you just dump you old electronics they can end up being shipped off to a developing country and further contaminating our earth. I have found these sites useful for alternative methods of recycling and discarding unwanted materials http://northstarmoving.com/blog/2011/green_moving/

Slovak beer is of high quality and generally low price, very similar to Czech pilsners (which are also widely available). But Bratislava's heritage as a wine town means high quality-local vintages are also widely available. International spirit brands are served everywhere, along with local spirits such as Demänovka (a herbal liqueur), borovička (juniper-based and similar to gin, though normally drunk neat) and slivovica (made from plums).
Most of the well-known soft drinks are also available, along with Kofola, a local cola drink that is sometimes served on tap.
As in cafes, you will normally be served at your table (unless you sit at the bar, though in many places there is little or no actual bar seating), and pay for your drinks when leaving.

Company visits are an important component of the Economic Program in London. They are designed to provide students with a firsthand look at important local industries and business practices. Company visits will vary on a yearly basis.
Cultural excursions provide students with an opportunity to experience the local flavor. Weekly cultural outings are coordinated by the International Programs (IP) Office.
These events are built into the program and participation is mandatory.
With this in mind, the excursions are designed to fit into the schedule and will usually take place Monday through Thursday in the early evenings, so as not to interfere with courses or weekend travel. Depending on the year, weather and availability, excursions will vary on a yearly basis.

I'm not sure of the relevance. Can't you see the connection between eating meat and the killing of animals though? Animals are killed so humans can eat meat - it is that simple. If you want to eat meat eat meat but be grown up and except responsibility. Maybe it isn't a big deal? I certainly don't see diet as a great barometer of wisdom or compassion.

After a tough battle at the Dunlop British Open in Manchester, HEAD pro Rachael Grinham fought her way to victory.
In the longest played women's final on record, HEAD player Rachael Grinham of Australia saved a match-ball to defeat overwhelming favourite Nicol David at the Dunlop British Open Squash Championship in Manchester.
Malaysia's world No. 1 David opened up a two-game lead on her way to an anticipated third consecutive title.
However, third-seeded Grinham, who plays with a Metallix 130, wasn't going to be defeated by the dominant Malaysian who had won the duo's previous 14 meetings, since April 2005. In fact, prior to her competition against David, Grinham upset her higher ranked younger sister and fellow HEAD player Natalie Grinham in the semi finals. Natalie Grinham plays with the Metallix 140.
Headed for a comeback, 30-year-old Grinham successfully beat David in the third match, then saw the fourth go to eight-all before David served for the championship ball at 9-8.
But the Australian recovered to force the match into a fifth game and immediately raced to 8-0, also winning her first match ball. Attempting to claim her projected title win, David took a further point, but Grinham was not going to be denied her shock victory as she clinched the title after 87 minutes in a 7-9, 4-9, 9-3, 10-8, 9-1 match.
"It's the best win I ever had. I already won two titles, but that was a couple of years ago, and I haven't won any major tournaments since," said world No 3 Grinham. "I felt quite focused, but I was a little slow in the beginning, not as good as yesterday. Then I thought, come on, the pressure is on her, make her work for it."
The victory marks a notable milestone for Grinham who now boasts 24 WISPA World Tour titles. The success also extends Grinham's lead over Nicol David as the current WISPA player with the most Tour titles.
"Winning the third gave me a lot of confidence, and she was not as quick as she was at the start," Grinham added.
On the men's side, fellow Australian HEAD player and No. 2 seed David Palmer headed off a strong challenge against England's James Willstrop in a late-night quarterfinal lasting nearly two hours. Palmer, who plays with the brand new MicroGel Extreme, prevailed to win 11-10 (2-0) 6-11 11-10 (2-0) 6-11 11-5. The victory enabled Palmer to move on to the semi finals to compete against No 4 seed Frenchman Thierry Lincou. After he won the first game 11-5, a leg injury in the second game stopped David Palmer on his way to the final.
The new Squash product line including the MicroGel Extreme racquet will hit the shelves in February 2008.

Hang tight!
Recipe by Sherriel
"This is a delicious light summer salad that is a little on the sweet side rather than than the tangy-vinegary side."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

1 large
tomatoes, seeded and cut into wedges
red onion, thinly sliced
1/4 cup
rice vinegar
2 tablespoons
lime juice
1 teaspoon
white sugar, or to taste
3 tablespoons
chopped fresh cilantro
3 tablespoons
chopped peanuts
We had a super spicy red curry tonight - and this salad was a great cool-down! I added a little more sugar, otherwise made as written. Thanks for the recipe! :)
Something's missing, but I don't know what. I made this to accompany a Thai meal. I may make it again to figure out what's missing.

This is a great recipe. I made a few changes because I didn't have all of the ingredients. I put in unrefined cane sugar instead of the white sugar, and I used dried coriander instead of the fresh cilantro. I think what made the recipe special, was the peanuts. It gives the salad this extra bite!
I followed the recipe exactly. I did not add peanuts since I'm not a huge fan. There's a very mild flavor but it's extremely fresh tasting. I'd make this again for sure. Maybe next time I will use halved cherry tomatoes and chop the cukes into cubes.
This is a really nice cucumber salad variation. I don't care for cilantro, so I substituted parsley. I also used yellow tomatoes and red tomatoes to give it even more color. It was a big hit.
So simple and yummy! Even better the next day. I plan to keep a bowl of this in the fridge all summer!
Amazing!! This is a true Thai salad. The cilantro is a must for this recipe. My 13 month old loved this salad as well, onions and all! Followed this recipe exactly....thanks for sharing! You have to like Thai food in order to love this dish. I will make this forever.
A nice cucumber salad that is not overly sweet. The peanuts are a nice addition.

1. What does a day of training entail for you?
It really depends on the season. Unless I'm on a long hike, trekking in a remote country, or shooting a television segment in wilderness area, I rarely spend an entire day "training", but I do train every day.
During the summer, I mostly have fun playing the many sports I enjoy, especially playing tennis, waterskiing, paddling my kayak, and hiking in the mountains. Sometimes I'll go running, biking or in-line skating. 'Nothing too structured, but I get a lot of exercise, at least 2 hours per day and usually more.
Once the autumn arrives, I pay more attention to my ski fitness. I still play tennis and hike a lot, but add in more ski-specific exercises. I take several slalom "runs" every day on my Skier's Edge machine and I do a lot of core strength and leg strength exercises.
During the winter, I am skiing 4-6 days per week. Every day on snow is different. I might be coaching at a women's ski clinic or a junior racing program. I might be shooting ski tips for a television show or skiing with the media to explain Head's products. Sometimes I'm at demo days to ski with VIP ski shop owners and buyers or testing skis myself. On Friday mornings, I usually run some gates to stay sharp for the Masters circuit. And once in a great while, I get the whole day just to ski for fun!
In reality, I don't train so seriously anymore. I spent so many years training for ski racing when I was in my teens and 20s that it doesn't take much for me to maintain good physical conditioning. Today, physical fitness is simply part of my lifestyle and necessary for my mental sanity.
2. Do you have a strict diet on and off season? What does a meal consist for you?
I don't follow a particular diet, although at times I've been accused of following one based on various flavours of ice cream. In truth, I find it's too difficult to follow a strict diet with the amount of travel that I do. I believe that it's okay to eat whatever you want as long as you do it in moderation. In general, I try to stay away from deep fried foods and junk food. I try to eat a balanced diet with lots of fruits and vegetables. But I do love my ice cream and I have a weakness for other sweets as well. Good thing I get so much exercise!
3. Does your lifestyle change a lot from on to off season?
Not really, because I am married with a husband and a nine-year-old son. Having a son adds stability and routine to my lifestyle when I am at home. My television work and other work is no longer limited to winter, so my professional life is busy year-round and requires a lot of travel. For me, the biggest difference between the winter and off-season is the amount of luggage that I have to lug around. It's much less in the off-season, and I don't have to constantly prep skis.
4. What would you say is the best thing about being a professional skier?
I am the luckiest person in the world to be a professional skier, to make a living doing what I love the most! I have considered myself a pro skier since I joined the Women's Pro Ski Tour in 1985. (I was on the U.S. Ski Team from 1976-1979, but back then, national teams had "amateur" status.) It has been a long run and I've enjoyed every second of it. For me, even the nastiest, coldest day on the hill is better than a day in an office. Skiing has given me many extraordinary things, particularly the chance to travel around the world to many beautiful places and the chance to meet many wonderful, interesting, talented people.
5. Where is the best place you have traveled to, because skiing has brought you to this place?
Tough question, since skiing has brought me many places. The best ever was probably a heli-skiing trip in 1988 near Whistler BC. We were shooting a ski film for Mizuno for release in Japan. I had never been in a helicopter before. We had an entire week of sunshine and virgin powder. It was the closest thing to nirvana that I've ever experienced. I've been to many special places because of my skiing – all over North America, Europe, New Zealand, and Japan… but that heli-ski trip was the first time that everything – the snow conditions, the weather, the location, and the people - was in perfect harmony.
6. Since you are in the public eye and you have the ability to influence people, what would you like to project as a skier?
Foremost, that skiing is fun! Regardless of your age, sex, background, ability level, location, skiing is a terrific way to be outdoors. Second, I try to always set a good example (be a responsible citizen so to speak) while hopefully inspiring other skiers to raise their personal bar. I do this through my actions and what I say, both on-camera and in person. Finally, I hope that people pick up my passion for the sport whether they see me teaching on the groomers, racing down a Super G, or ripping in the back bowls.
7. If you were not a skier, what would you do? What would be another dream "job" for you?
Skiing is not my whole life now. My "day" job is in television, writing, producing and hosting outdoor and adventure programming. I also write for various magazines and book publishers, and I am launching a new business, DensmoreDesigns.com, based on my nature photography. If skiing disappeared from my life today, it would leave a big hole, but I think the hole would fill up quickly. The biggest change would be my attitude. Despite my diverse professional life, I still think of myself as a skier. Everything I do off the slopes is simply filling time until I can ski again, or helping me prepare for my next time on the hill. Losing that focus would be a huge change for me, since I've had it my entire life.
8. What is the most touching moment that has happened to you, so far in your life?
There are two equal moments: marriage and child birth.
9. Tell me a funny story that has happened to you while travelling or at home for example?
Here's a short one: Several years ago, I was competing at the U.S. Alpine Masters Championships in Sun Valley, Idaho. The first event was Super G. I won the race. That evening at the awards ceremony, instead of getting a normal gold medal, the presenter gave me a small white box. I returned to my table where my friends immediately prodded me to open it. I complied, expecting a nice gift commemorating the event. Instead, I found four potatoes wrapped in gold foil. Idaho is the "potato state" and the event organizer wanted to give the champions a "taste" of Idaho. If you placed second, you got potatoes wrapped in silver foil, and if you took third, you got bare potatoes (no foil). I swept the championships in my age group that year, winning not only the Super G, but also the GS, slalom, and combined. I took home many fond memories of the week, but I left behind a bushel of potatoes.
10. Tell me a joke that you would tell your friends?
I'm not much of a joke teller because I can never get the punch line out correctly, but I love to listen to them. Unfortunately, I don't remember them very well.

Maryland may share in the work expected to come to six sites in the country selected by the Federal Aviation Administration as drone test sites, public officials said Monday morning.
Virginia Tech's proposal, which included test sites in Virginia and New Jersey, was one of the six sites selected. The University of Maryland will provide research assistance as needed, Matt Scassero, director of the University of Maryland Unmanned Aircraft Systems Test Site, said.
"For us, I would say it's a partial win," Scassero said, adding that Maryland had applied on its own but was not selected by the FAA. Still, he said, Maryland will benefit from work that will be based at Virginia Tech.
"We are successful," Del. John Bohanan (D-St. Mary's) said in an interview minutes after hearing from Rep. Steny Hoyer (Md., 5th) about the designation.
Work on unmanned aerial vehicles at Patuxent River Naval Air Station and the Webster Field Annex in St. Mary's County helped position Maryland and its partners ahead of the game, Bohanan said.
The six test sites will focus on integrating drones, and all the technology needed to fly them, into civilian air space. Virginia Tech plans to conduct unmanned aerial system failure mode testing and identify and evaluate operational and technical risks areas, according to the FAA announcement Monday.
The designation is expected to open economic opportunities for the regions chosen by the FAA.
Virginia Tech, the University of Maryland, and Rutgers University will be partnering to carry out that work. The cooperation of that consortium likely helped win one of the designated sites, Bohanan said.
Virginia has NASA's Wallops Island station and Langley Research Center, along with a naval presence in Dahlgren. And New Jersey has the Next Generation Aviation Research and Technology Park.
As the U.S. works to integrate drones into its own commercial air space, the economic potential is estimated to be $89 billion worldwide during the next decade, said Matt Scassero, director of the University of Maryland Unmanned Aircraft Systems Test Site.
Drones have potential to be used in agriculture stateside, he said before Monday's announcement, and more broadly in search and rescue missions, for cargo deliveries, and to measure the scope of natural disasters such as hurricanes, floods and wildfires.
The University System of Maryland is establishing a footprint locally through the Southern Maryland Higher Education Center. The local campus may grow in the coming years to include a business incubator that could be tied to the FAA's unmanned aircraft system test designation.

I posted a question on a .net forum and got this reply:
"If you switched for MySql to MS SQL, used stored procedures, and converted the PHP code to ASP.NET, I'm sure you'd get a much faster execution time. Not to mention your source code will be way more organized and readable.
ASP.NET only compiles the code once (the first time it's run). After that, every request for the page calls the compiled code. So you don't need to worry about compile time.
I programmed PHP/MySql for about three years back in the day when it was still fairly new. Recently I've been toying with ASP.NET (I was never a big fan of ASP, mind you). I have to honestly say, ASP.NET just destroys PHP. Especially since it's all part of the .NET framework and all the code is basically the same no matter if you're programming a windows application or web application. It's good stuff.
Just to be fair, though, I haven't run any benchmarks to compare PHP and ASP.NET speed. But since ASP.NET is compiled I have no doubt it'll be faster. And, well, MS SQL > MySql period."
It seems silly that the php interpreter has to re-interpret everything each time a page is requested, surely it does the same as ASP.NET? Does anybody know? And Is MS SQL really faster than MySQL? 8O

Has anyone heard of a screensaver that is capible of launching a bunch of commands when it starts? I bet there's something like this out there, if anyone knows of any, please let me know. (Also, I'm going to start searching the net after I post this...)
I think a screensaver (that could be selected in "Display Properties > Screen Saver") that I could use to run a few programs every time the screensaver is activated would be very useful.
The commands/programs I would enable by default would be:
1. Run CCleaner (to clear cache, recycle bin, history, etc.)
2. Lock KeePass (I want my passwords available while I'm at the computer, not while I'm not)
3. Start a "pretty" screen saver (so that it's like a normal screensaver) or maybe start a random screensaver
A couple other ideas:
- Mute the system audio (like IdleMute)
- Kill/pause various programs (like Winamp Killer)
- Maybe turn on some kind of e-mail monitor
- Maybe send IM clients into "away" mode (though I assume most do this by default anyway)
Seems like some of the commands could be as simple as running a shortcut, others might require simulated keystrokes/mouse movements.
Other possible uses:
- Run defrag program
- Start virus scan
- Disable internet activity

German Program
Willkommen beim Deutschprogramm - Welcome to the German program!
We are a small program with engaged and enthusiastic students and two experienced and motivated professors, who are native speakers from Germany and Austria respectively. The program offers students a minor in German language. During the first four semesters our focus is on the basic skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing German. Understanding grammatical structures and using them accurately is essential to our approach. At the same time students learn to communicate effectively in the target language right from the very beginning. We also introduce our students to a variety of historical and cultural topics during these initial years. Upper division courses build on the skills learned in the beginning, and the intermediate level and strengthens and expands those skills. Classes cover topics from German literature to the current political and cultural issues that are part of the discourse in German speaking countries. Our conversation class is designed to support and empower students' ability of speaking and comprehending the German language and expressing their opinions and ideas with increasing ease.
While Gonzaga does not offer a study abroad program in Germany, we help and support students to join study abroad programs from other universities and encourage summer programs with the Goethe Institute in a variety of German cities.

Great quallity and fit
When I first put this one, it felt way too tight and I struggled. But once on, it looks fabulous and stays put! Now that I'm used to working just a tad bit harder to put it on, I'm used to it. I've had it for over a year and it's holding up well. The material may be a little less forgiving than the comparable but less-expensive Sporti, but that may also mean it stands the test of time.

Fit: Feels true to size
great suit, too small
This suit is very high quality for the price but I took the tags off before I realized it was way too small for me. I have bought speedo suits before so I thought I knew my size but its possible this suit is a little tighter and my older suit is a little stretched out. I hope if I keep swimming it will fit at some point!

Awesome suit for swim team
Awesome swim suit. Quality is very good and durable.My daughters love it and like how it feels.It looks great too.Go Riptide
Fairfax, VA
Great suit, buy big
This suit is meant to fit tight for racing, but it is really, really tight. I bought correct size for my 8 yr old and she couldn't put it on. I squeezed her into it but she said it hurt her shoulders if she raised her arms, and also she couldn't breathe. I tried again 2 sizes up and she loves it. Looks great.
Pretty suit for a pretty price.
The suit is so pretty and the price is even better! :)

Nice Suit
I purchased this swimsuit for my daughter who loves zebra prints and she was thrilled with it! She has received many compliments. It does run a little on the small side, but not enough for us to size up. Quality seems to be very good, we have no complaints. Delivery was also very fast.

Wow - tight!
As others have commented, this suit is VERY tight-fitting. Getting it on is always a work-out! It seems to be loosening up a tiny bit since I've been wearing it, but it's still really snug. However, it looks great on and keeps everything in place. Once I'm in the water, it doesn't feel tight at all. Very flattering. I would suggest going one size up, though...I always think I'm going to rip it when I'm putting it on! If you have any hips or butt at all, go up a size!

Australia's most recent Formula One World Champion Alan Jones says a possible move by Mark Webber to Ferrari would inject a "breath of fresh air" into the latter stages of his compatriot's career.
Speaking to the Australian Grand Prix 'Keeping Track' podcast, Jones, the 1980 World Champion for Williams, says driving for Ferrari is something that every F1 driver craves, and that Webber should consider a stint at the famous Italian team should an opportunity arise.
Webber, who took the eighth victory of his Formula One career by winning the Monaco Grand Prix for the second time last weekend, is currently on a one-year deal with Red Bull Racing, the team he has driven for since 2007.
Speculation has linked Webber to a Ferrari seat alongside two-time World Champion Fernando Alonso at regular intervals over the last few seasons.
"Mark has already done one of the two things that most Formula One drivers would like to do, and that's win Monaco – the other one is to drive for Ferrari," Jones said.
"I'm sure he'd have a look at it. If he goes to Ferrari, it could be a breath of fresh air – it's very prestigious and something really good to have on your CV. He gets on extremely well with Alonso, so maybe that could be a good way for him to go.
"Personally, I think that Mark is with a good team (but) having said that, if he signed on with Red Bull next year he's still going to have Vettel as his teammate, which is a pretty hard task."
In an expansive interview with 'Keeping Track', Jones also discussed the progress of fellow Australian Daniel Ricciardo in his first full F1 campaign, and spoke of the return of Williams to the top step of the podium this season.
Also on this week's episode of Keeping Track, we look back at Mark Webber's superb win in the Monaco Grand Prix and review the latest two rounds of the world championship with Network 10 Formula One host Greg Rust.
