Father absence is a highly visible social issue that affects all demographics but is particularly devastating in African-descended communities. According to census statistics, over two-thirds of black children are raised in single-parent households, the vast majority of them being led by the mother. However, research also shows that black fathers are no less present in their children's lives than their counterparts of other ethnic groups.
Against this backdrop, stereotypes of deadbeat black fathers abound in mainstream media. Much of the imagery countering these stereotypes has remained formulaic, too, often consisting of "über-dad" archetypes (e.g. The Cosby Show's Dr. Cliff Huxtable), celebrity fathers and "traditional" family patriarchs.
Lost between these extremes: the everyday black father who may not fit conventional notions of fatherhood but is nonetheless taking his role seriously. He may not live at home with his partner or kids, he may not be legally married and he may struggle to provide on a consistent basis, but this does not automatically mean that he is irresponsible. However, these visuals of presence remain underrepresented in most of mainstream media coverage.
My own journey of fatherlessness and identity formation informed my photographic approach. It was not too long ago when a family secret was uncovered: My own biological father was a black man who disappeared when he learned my mother was pregnant with me. For a long time, holding on to the pain of that discovery was easier than dealing with it. But I also realized that a huge part of me was curious to know more about this man, wanted to understand, get to a place of forgiveness. Without any information about my father's identity or whereabouts, the only way to come to terms with my feelings was to examine them through photography.
Over several years, I built trusted relationships with black fathers from different walks of life. I witnessed intimate parenting scenarios that are often hidden from the public realm and that I myself didn't experience as a child. What struck me early on was that each father I met expressed his swagger, life rhythm, and ways of relating with their kids and partners in very individual ways. And perhaps more importantly, as I observed these families, another truth revealed itself loud and clear: Contrary to the prevalent media caricature of black men as aggressive, violent, and irresponsible, the fathers I met were loving, affectionate, and dependable. They readily shared their concerns and fears. They were vulnerable enough to allow me to photograph them in moments of joy and times of frustration. They were by no means perfect, but unsung everyday heroes nonetheless, committed to being present one fatherly act at a time.
By showing quiet moments that are often deemed un-newsworthy, I hope this work can help question preconceived notions and present a broader context of black fatherhood. Perhaps it can serve as a counter-narrative to humanize black men as present and competent fathers in a media climate that largely continues to deny this possibility.

Ard Louis on Intelligent Design
In this short video, physicist Ard Louis expresses some doubts about Intelligent Design, noting that his primary resistance to the movement is based on theological grounds rather than science.
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
In this short video, physicist Ard Louis expresses some doubts about Intelligent Design, noting that his primary resistance to the movement is based on theological grounds rather than science.
In this paper, Venema tells the story of his transition from support of Intelligent Design to the view that God uses evolution as a creative mechanism.
In this paper, adapted from an article from Science & Christian Belief, Dr. Oliver R. Barclay compares and contrasts the biblical view of design in nature with modern design arguments.
In this article, Venema offers his review of Stephen Meyer's book Signature in the Cell.
In this video Conversation, Rev. N.T. Wright responds to the controversy in evangelicalism about evolution. Is this a "culture war" issue?
Can science provide substantive insight into the question of God's existence? Isaac's paper examines three schools of thought regarding the possibility of detecting God's existence through science: Evolutionism, Creationism, and Intelligent Design.
In this paper, Baylor philosophy professor Francis Beckwith distinguishes between Intelligent Design (ID) and Thomistic Design (TD).
In this video clip, Oxford University biophysicist, Ard Louis posits that one of the reasons Christians are hostile to evolution is that they latch onto a particular definition, which puts it in conflict with their theological convictions.
In this paper, Venema explores several examples in biology where random mutation and natural selection have indeed led to substantial increases in biological information. The question of how new specified information arises in DNA, far from being an "enigma", is one of great interest to biologists.
Mathematics professor James Bradley looks at the design argument presented in William Dembski's book The Design Inference and offers his criticisms on the accuracy of the model.
I am asked all the time to explain, in a nutshell, why irreducible complexity is not a valid argument in favor of intelligent design. However, I have never heard anyone put it in a more cogent form than Oxford biophysicist Ard Louis in this video.

By Moss Stern
On November 24, 2014, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) published the results of a comprehensive 2011 study on HIV diagnosis and treatment showing that out of the estimated 1.2 million persons living with HIV in the United States in 2011, 86% had been diagnosed; 40% were engaged in HIV medical care; 37% were using antiretroviral therapy (ART); and 30% had achieved successful viral suppression. These statistics had remained relatively unchanged since 2009, and presumably have not improved substantially since.
That's right: while people with HIV who are using ART can achieve a very low viral load, can look forward to a nearly normal life expectancy, and pose a very low risk for transmitting HIV to others, only 30% of infected Americans have attained successful suppression. The other 70% of infected Americans (839,336) have not been so fortunate.
Younger people are particularly at risk: the report noted that viral suppression was significantly less prevalent among persons aged 18–24 years (13%), 25–34 years (23%), and 35–44 years (27%) compared with those aged ≥65 years (37%). Meanwhile, according to the same report, nearly 50,000 persons in the U.S. become newly infected each year.
The authors of the CDC study concluded that significant improvements are still needed across the HIV care continuum, and that state and local health departments, community-based organizations, and health care providers all have essential roles to play in improving outcomes. They emphasized that the greatest opportunities lie in reducing the number of undiagnosed HIV infections, and increasing the percentage of infected persons who are actively engaged in care.
It is sometimes tempting to think that ever since the advent of ART, the HIV epidemic is under control. This is far from the case. It behooves every health professional to be aware that the battle still rages on, and that HIV education and engagement must remain a vital aspect of caring for every patient.

Product DescriptionSimrad's revolutionary Broadband 4GT Radar offers all of the benefits of the Broadband 3G Radar, including a true 200' working range, plus some spectacular extra features. The Broadband 4G has an impressive 50% improvement in range and target detection capability with a new 36 nautical mile range and 18 range scales to accommodate the increased performance. Broadband 4G is the first dome antenna to employ beam sharpening. This technology enables a feature called Target Separation Control, which improves the azimuth resolution - or effective antenna horizontal beamwidth - up to the 2X resolution of any 18" dome. This is the equivalent of a 3-1/2 foot open array radar!
When paired with the Simrad NSO and NSE series, the Broadband 4G Radar is capable of high speed operation up to 48 RPM and has a Dual Range feature, which allows unprecedented simultaneous working ranges, anywhere from 200 feet up to 36 nautical miles. No other radar in the world can do this. The 4G all-around performance results like exceptional clutter rejection are nothing short of mind-blowing, dramatically increasing situational awareness among novice and professional users alike.
More Range -
50% more true range than Broadband 3G Radar. Now you can see crystal clear targets up to 32nm away and inside strong storm cells more than 17nm away.
Dual Range -
Capable of displaying Dual Range radar combination when combined with an NSE or NSO system. Monitor targets from 200 feet to 32nm from a single dome.
High Speed Mode -
Select 48 RPM for almost instant updating at less than 1nm (48rpm currently available on NSE, NSO, and Zeus units only).
MARPA Target Tracking -
Track up to 10 targets or up to 20 in Dual Range mode with independent control.
Quick Installation -
No reason to open the dome, no tune or zero mile adjustment, and no radar-licensed technician required.
Dual Guard Zones -
Protect yourself from more angles.
True Motion Display -
Easily distinguish moving targets from land with NSE, NSO, & NSS Series.
InstantOn -
Solid-state technology produces an immediate, accurate on-screen image unlike normal warm-up times associated with magnetron pulse radars.
Low Power Consumption -
Ideal for boats of any size - sail, cruise, or fishing style.
Automatic Clarity -
Proven auto harbour and offshore modes including directional clutter rejection.
Extremely Low Emissions -
Safer than any other radar currently on the market, the unit emits less radiation than a mobile phone so it can be mounted anywhere.

Comments about Simrad 4G Broadband Radar Dome For NSE, NSO, & NSS Series:
This radar is simply amazing. Stunning detail and resolution. Works better than advertised. Able to see objects all the way up to the bow of the boat, and smaller objects typically non-reflective show up with ease, cane poles, pvc pipes, crab floats, birds, even the wake off your boat when getting on plan are clearly visible. I can pick up cane poles from a mile away all the way to the rail of the boat. You could litterally navigate from the dock to your favorite spot without looking outside the radar screen.

General Mission Statement:
The Philosophy and Religious Studies Department seeks to nurture the development of reason--a thoughtful, informed, and critically reflective intellectual conscience ready to identify and reassess basic assumptions--within the College community generally but especially within our students. The essence of philosophy is to question, inquire into, and think critically about fundamental principles, whatever the field, but above all the principles of philosophy itself. Consequently, for philosophy to be true to itself, no such assumption as may be found in a mission statement can ever be wholly settled and taken for granted.
The Philosophy and Religious Studies Department has responsibility for several programs within the College: the Philosophy Major, the Philosophy Minor, the Humanities Major for students who concentrate in Philosophy, the Humanities Minor for students who concentrate in Religious Studies and Philosophy, the Elementary Education Support Area in philosophy, the Elementary Education Support Area in Religious Studies, the Philosophy Component of the Honors Program, the Liberal Arts Core Curriculum requirement of a course in Philosophy or Religious Studies, and its support of the student Philosophy Club discussion group, sponsored lectures, and symposia on campus. In addition, members of the Department understand themselves as philosophers to have an important role to play in fostering the reflective intellectual culture that the institution is supposed to represent and promote.

B.A. University of Texas, 1968
Ph.D. Psychology, Kent State University, 1972
Rich holds the Rachel Carson Chair in Human Ecology
Rachel Carson revolutionized ecological thought and inspired the environmental movement. Her five books combined lyric prose, solid scientific research, and reverence for life and the natural world. In 1962 Carson�s book Silent Spring brought to public attention for the first time the harmful environmental consequences of widespread pesticide use, and she withstood public attack to call for new public policies to protect human health and the environment. Biologist, ecologist, writer, and public citizen, Rachel Carson inspired new directions in environmental thinking � thinking that forms the cornerstone of a College of the Atlantic education.
Courses Taught
HS2019Community Planning and Decision MakingAlbert Einstein once observed that "no problem can be solved from the same consciousness that created it. We must learn to see the world anew". If Einstein's idea is accurate about how humans understand the universe, it is likewise true of how we plan and manage our relationships with the environment. One of the primary aims of human ecology is to explore new ways to envision human environment relations. Within its integrative perspective, scientific knowledge and human aesthetics can be combined in ways that enrich human communities as well as value and protect the rest of the living world. The purpose of this course is to provide students with a foundation of theory and practical skills in ecological policy and community planning. A broad range of ideas and methodologies will be explored. Using real examples of current issues - such as sprawl, smart growth, gateway communities, watershed based regional planning, land trusts, and alternative transportation systems. We will be joined by the actual leaders of these changes locally and state wide in Maine. We will also examine emerging methodologies that emphasize participatory planning, community capacity-building, and empowering marginalized groups. These models and ideas will be further compared with prominent approaches and case studies from elsewhere around the country. As a part of current ideas about community planning and policy, the course also introduces small group collaboration techniques, and the use of computers to enhance complex decision processes. A field component will take advantage of varied external opportunities - including town meetings, conferences, and public events. Evaluations will be based on class participation, several short research papers, and end of term small group projects.

HS4014Contemporary Psychology: Body, Mind and Soul
HS4016Ecology and ExperienceEcology is sometimes considered a "subversive" subject: the more humans learn about the living world, the more we are challenged to re-examine many of our fundamental beliefs. According to this perspective, ecology provides a complex mirror for humans. In its reflection we glimpse a different understanding of our place in the world. Age-old concerns return to consciousness: questions about insight and responsibility, the relation of spirit and matter, issues of meaning, purpose, and identity. In short, the science of ecology has given birth to an entirely new approach to psychology. The purpose of this course is to examine a cross-section of new ideas along this interface. Some ideas will draw on clues from deep in our evolutionary past. Other questions will explore what we know from ecology about living more fully in the present - or ways that ecology can enrich our imagination of the future. Readings for this class will be drawn from primary sources in a variety of fields with a pivotal focus on the relationships of mind and nature. The course will be taught in an interactive, seminar style with participants sharing summaries of the readings - individually and in teams. Two short papers and one end-of-term longer paper are required. Preference will be given to students with background or strong interests in psychology and/or ecology.

HE1010Human Ecology Core CourseHuman Ecology is the interdisciplinary study of the relationships between humans and their natural and cultural environments. The purpose of this course is to build a community of learners that explores the question of human ecology from the perspectives of the arts, humanities and sciences, both in and outside the classroom. By the end of the course students should be familiar with how differently these three broad areas ask questions, pose solutions, and become inextricably intertwined when theoretical ideas are put into practice. In the end, we want students to be better prepared to create your own human ecology degree through a more in depth exploration of the courses offered at College of the Atlantic. We will approach this central goal through a series of directed readings and activities.

HS1022Human Relations: Principles and PracticeAntoine de Saint-Exupery - World War II French pilot and author of The Little Prince - once noted: "There is but one problem - the problem of human relations....There is no hope or joy except in human relations." Beneath this sanguine notion, however, dwells a complex web of ideas and questions. The purpose of this team-taught course is to explore these underlying issues from two different, but overlapping, perspectives. On the one hand, we will review foundational theories and research from intra-psychic, social and organizational psychology - emphasizing topic areas such as attitude theory and change, social influence, group dynamics, conflict resolution and leadership. On the other hand, we will simultaneously draw on real-world case studies from business and organizational management. The emphasis here will be on issues of personnel assessment and management, market performance, negotiation, crisis management and the role self-knowledge in the "inside game" of commercial enterprise. Connections between these two realms will be drawn via class discussions, presentations from the instructors, and selected visitors with significant backgrounds from a range of organizational, business and government settings. Lessons derived from failure events and the 'cost of not knowing' will be investigated, as well as examples from models of successful human relations experiences. The overall aim of the class will be guided by the ideals and practices of: the psychologist Abraham Maslow, who advised "The best way to see everything is to consider the whole darn thing" and Steve Jobs - founder and CEO of Apple - who expressed his success succinctly as "It was small teams of great people doing wonderful things". Student evaluations will be based on multiple criteria, including class participation, several individual papers and research reports and contribution to team projects.

HS2012Personality and Social Development
HS2052Popular PsychologyHumans have an inherent need to make sense of their lives. Their search may be simply to improve everyday experience or it may involve a life-long quest for meaning and wisdom. Nonetheless, in every age, they have found written advice to address these perennial needs: ranging from the Bhagavad-Gita and the Bible, through Marcus Aurelieus' Meditations and Ralph Waldo Emerson's Self-Reliance AF to the ever-popular, self-help book. In the past half-century of the New York Times' Best Sellers List, there has usually been one or more popular psychology books on the list. Hundreds of millions have been sold and read. Some focus on how to improve relationships, raise children, or build wealth; others promise ways to discover happiness, expand memory, or find a deeper self. Their authors may be serious scholars, well-known psychologists, insightful leaders, or shallow self promoters. The purpose of this course is to critically examine the literature of popular psychology: to explore why people are or are not so drawn to this literary genre and to analyze its deeper psychological significance. A further goal is to evaluate how and when they do work or why they don't. These questions will be guided by an in depth evaluation of the implicit structure of each book, as well as a comparative mapping of it within the theories and methods of professional psychology. In order to investigate a broad cross-section of styles and themes, we begin with several 'classic' popular books as a common foundation. Thereafter, we move on to more varied approaches within small groups and individually. Evaluations will be based on participation in class discussions, several short papers, shared book reviews, and final paper comparing popular and academic psychology.

HS4010Seminar in Human EcologyThis seminar traces the historical development of human ecology. We begin by reviewing the seminal works in human ecology, the contributions from biology, and the development of human ecology as a multidisciplinary concept. Along these lines we compare the various brands of human ecology that have developed through sociology (the Chicago school), anthropology and cultural ecology, ecological psychology, and economics, as well as human ecological themes in the humanities, architecture, design, and planning. This background is then used to compare the COA brand of Human Ecology with other programs in this country and elsewhere around the world. Our final purpose is to look at new ideas coming from philosophy, the humanities, biological ecology, and other areas for future possibilities for human ecology. Evaluations are based on presentations and papers. Advanced. Open only to third and fourth level students. Offered every other year. Class size limited to 15. Meets the following degree requirements: HS
HS782Tutorial: Advanced Seminar in Human Ecology
The purpose of this tutorial is to review the many uses of the term ?human ecology?. It begins with an historical review of the academic and intellectual origins of human ecology. From these foundations, we proceed through the development of more interdisciplinary approaches to human ecology --- working with primary source materials (e.g., books, articles, position papers, academic program descriptions and related documents). We will further explore the activities of various regional, national and international associations and the aims of leading educational institutions. Assignments and discussions will revolve around several current problems that face human ecology. In particular, we will focus on: various theoretical controversies within and between biological and human ecology; issues and proposed methods of inter-disciplinary problem-solving, planning and application; and the growth of professional opportunities in human ecology worldwide. Evaluations will be based on careful reading and review of assigned materials, participation in discussions, individual papers and a collaborative group project. Level: Advanced; Permission of instructor required; Class limit: 3 Permission of instructor required.

I have a recipe that calls for toasted chopped pistachios. I'm wondering if I should toast them whole and then chop them up, or toast them chopped?

I don't think it makes any tremendous difference. I'd probably lean towards toasting them whole first, then chopping just because the size will be more consistent so the toast might be a little more even.
I would chop first as then each piece will be toasted on all it's exposed edges. If you toast then chop, the chopping will expose so untoasted edges so the overall effect will be less uniform.

Ana has been eliminated from the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells following a 7-6(3), 6-4 defeat against American Sloane Stephens in the third round. The 26-year-old's performance was filled with ups and downs as she lacked consistency on the key points, converting just three out of her 14 break opportunities.
The quality the pair displayed during the opening set was not one you would expect from two top-20 ranked players. It was a festival of unforced errors – a combined 50 throughout the set – and the exchanges only sporadically reached five strokes. One of the few highlights was Ana's successful between-the-legs shot in the seventh game, and although she didn't manage to eventually win the point, it brought a smile to her face and lifted the crowd.
Indeed, near the end of the set, there were significant improvements considering the level of play and the opening set had a logical outcome; a tiebreak.
Ana kept pace with the world No.18 until 3-3, but two unforced errors from the former world No.1's racket and two classy winners from Stephens were fatal for Ana in the end.
The story at the beginning the second set was very different. The 26-year-old was brilliant with her forehand, served pretty well and looked in fine form at the net, until things turned around in the seventh game.
Holding a 4-2 lead at that moment, the 11th seed earned three chances to go up a double break but she was unable to take advantage of the situation.
Similarly, in the following game Ana surrendered a comfortable 40-15 lead, dropping all of the next four points to be broken out of the blue. Stephens added a love game shortly after to put pressure on Ana's next service game.
The American was now faultless and completed the turnaround on her fourth match point, reeling off four games to clinch victory in one hour and 42 minutes.
Ana's next tournament is the Sony Open Tennis, which begins in Miami next week.

Why do we only see one side of the moon?
What is it about the moon? Why does it only present one face? These questions are part of the most popular myth in astronomy. Whenever you take a look at the moon, you will always see the same side. Aside from its familiar phases, it looks as if the moon doesn't rotate! This is a difficult concept for many people to understand.

my name is danny and i was referred here by someone in an email. i really don't like talking about myself, and i never do, so i will try and make it a fast post.
ive been an artist since just a little kid and have been writing/producing my own music for like 20 years. anyways in 2008 i started teaching myself how to animate and made a little 20 minute film which was more or less still images set to music w sound effects. i did the whole thing with photoshop and windows movie maker. i then went and did 2 other continuing episodes. it was fun to see my characters interacting with things ect... but i kind of rushed them. there were like 10 online friends that really liked the 1st one and still now have been following the "series". but anyways, my episode 4 i wanted to do right. well, as right as i knew how, and it probably wouldnt be considered doing it the right way, but i really took my time with it. i learned the programs as i went along you know?
i started my 4th episode in feb of 2010 and just finished last month. it ended up being 2 full length movies, so i made it into like an extended episode 2 DVD set you know?
this was the 1st time the characters spoke. i had a voice cast of 7, and did 8 other main characters myself, which i had no idea would be so much work.
i no experience in making an animated movie and had absolutely no idea how hard it would be to do it on my own.
i never promote my "art" or movies, and absolutely never promote my music and really it is only heard in my films. not that im selfish but because both the music and the films are personal to me. ive had 2 little viewings of it already, (cuz im too broke to get dvd's yet to make copies lol)and am havin a third.
it isnt a nice family film, it is really deep and there is a lot of thinking the viewer must do to get it, but those who have seen it seem to really like it, which i didnt expect. the trailer probably wont make sense to anyone (if you watch it)because i doubt anyone here has seen the 1st three episodes. as the 1st disc is a continuation of the previous 3. the 2nd disc closes the "real life" stuff and is just total fiction/magical world things, which is what i want to make. (making cartoons about things that make you unhappy, um...makes you unhappy lol)
i never did, dont, or will have an attitude like "woo look at me, look at what i did" and if it wasnt for the numerous people telling me that other artists/animators might be interested in it...it woulda just went on my shelf with my other 3. if i could write as good as i can draw you guys would understand what i mean haha.
anyways, sorry you had to read thru a confusing letter, im just nervous doing things like this. i dnt know anything about the animation scene. i animated layers thats the only way i know how. ill leave some links now if you want to see them. the content isnt for anyone. and the style probably isnt either. just thought someone might like to see it.
this is the link to the full dvd set (both discs)
keep in mind, i was trying to stuff over 3 hrs of info into a short trailer)
this is the "draft" of scene 7 on the 1st disc. i uploaded it a while ago, but thought you may find interesting, just like the scenes before it, every layer i animated independently. whats worse than that, i didnt know about anchor points. it was horrible horrible time consuming thing. scene 8 is when i figured out how to group layers ect..which for all i know, is oldschool too lol.
there are other videos on the page if you wanted to see anymore. the name of the movie is chapel st and most of the clips from it say so. anyways, thanks. i hope someone finds this interesting
Re: movies by 1 person
That's pretty amazing what you did. Not every day that someone with virtually no experience in animation decides to make a movie and gets it done like this.
Get into the habit of promoting yourself and what you do. If you don't do it, at least to start with, who will? Self promotion is essential in getting the word out, especially if you're involved in a creative endeavor. Let your light shine.
So thanks for bringing this to AN's Gallery. I'm going to bring it to the homepage and get you some additional exposure. Wishing you good luck and success with this and your future efforts.
Embedding the videos...

Via Christa's necklaces lament the death of the old world by representing death itself. Playing on the idea that handcrafted antiques are too often relegated to be simple heirloom curiosities, the brand has created striking pieces whose power lies in their anatomical intrigue. This Hawk Talon Necklace is a grisly take on a motif that has appeared in art and architecture for ages. This contorted, skeletal cast pewter claw seems to come straight from the fowl's foot. Prominently displayed on a simple curb chain, it's an enthralling accessory for the fashionably daring.

Recipe by Esther Nelson
"I know, you're probably thinking, 'Oh no! Another banana bread recipe!' But this one is a little different: the sour cream makes this one so moist it melts in your mouth. The flavor is just wonderful! This one is great for gift giving and holidays. Loaves freeze well."

1/4 cup
white sugar
1 teaspoon
ground cinnamon
3/4 cup
3 cups
white sugar
very ripe bananas, mashed
1 (16 ounce) container
sour cream
2 teaspoons
vanilla extract
2 teaspoons
ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon
3 teaspoons
baking soda
4 1/2 cups
all-purpose flour
1 cup
chopped walnuts
FANTASTIC! I made this recipe 3 times before I really feel like I got it just right! Here are my discoveries: 1. I added just a dash of nutmeg and ground cloves. 2. I halved the recipe and made two 7 1/2" x 9" loaves, but the first time I used the temperature and time given in the recipe, resulting in two doughy (but delicious) uncooked loaves. If making two loaves, do 325 degrees for 1 hr 10 mins, they bake perfectly! 3. I can't really make the butter and sugar in the beginning "cream" together, there's just too much sugar, (but don't change the sugar amount!) So don't worry if it doesn't look creamy. 4. I used an electric mixer to mix the wet ingredients together, but I hand-mixed the flour into the mixture. Try #2 I used the electric mixer to incorporate the flour, the loaves turned out to be a bit too light and airy for me, like cake. Hand-mixing in the flour created a denser, more bread-like consistency. 5. Making a crumbly topping is a MUST. I took a topping recipe from Zucchini Bread IV from this site, but I modified it just a little bit for two loaves: ~ 1/2 cup packed brown sugar ~ 1/2 cup all-purpose flour ~ 2 or 3 tablespoons butter or margarine ~ 1 teaspoon cinnamon ~ 1/3 cup chopped walnuts or pecans. I microwaved the butter for just a while to make it nice and soft, mixed it together with a fork until it was cumbly, and spooned it over the loaves before putting it in the oven. This bread is SO good and easy, even for a novice baker like myself!
I cannot believe I'm the only one who had trouble with this recipe. The directions called for baking 1 hour at 300 degrees. (Which I questioned but followed.) Needless to say, my loaves were totally raw in the center! (even left them in for an additional 15 minutes. Truly disappointing. All 4 loaves went in the trash.

The very best even with my lower fat changes! My changes not only cut the fat in half, but also cut the calories in each serving by 100.
NOTE: I halved the recipe. My changes for half the recipe: 2 TBS butter & 1/4 cup of applesauce instead of all butter. In the batter I used 1 c Splenda and 1/2 c sugar. I used 1 c whole wheat flour and 1 1/4 c all purpose flour. I used 2 eggs and light sour cream. My 2 loaves baked in an hour. No one would guess they are lower fat and calorie. They were perfect in taste and texture. Next time I'm going to try all Splenda and applesauce and will give an update on the results.
I have tried so many banana bread recipes, and this one is the best. The only recommendation I would make is putting aluminum foil over the bread the last 20 minutes or so of baking to avoid having the top too dark... but I have to do this with most quick breads. Thanks for the wonderful recipe!
Just wanted to add this: if you make this bread with FAT-FREE sour cream instead of the regular kind, it won't turn out the same! It is dry and crumbly... not as good as the first batch... I won't make this mistake again. (It tastes ok, but not as rich - so not too good.)
Yummy! This is one of the absolutely best banana bread recipes I have ever tried!!! I had some bananas that were overripe so I decided to make this for my family one morning for breakfast. I made half of the recipe with 2 eggs and 4 extrmely overripe bananas. The cinnamon sugar coating was a great touch and I also sprinkled it on top of the bread before baking. While the bread was cooling, I went to take a shower. When I got out, everyone was standing around the cooling rack waiting for me to say that it was okay to cut the loaf.:-) Needless to say, it was well worth the wait. One thing I did notice was that the loaves did not rise very much. I know that my baking soda was fresh, so I'm not sure why the bread didn't rise. I don't know if anyone else experienced this. ***** just made this again this weekend. Made half the recipe, and used a long and deep loaf pan (from which you can get slices the size of Starbucks breads). I used 4.5 ripe bananas, 1 cup of sugar, 2 tsp. of vanilla, didn't have sour cream, so I used about 6 ounces of nonfat yogurt, and lots of cinnamon and sugar on the bottom and top of the pan. I also laid out a row of walnuts down the middle of the loaf pan before baking, and the presentation was very pretty. I also had to bake it for about 15 minutes more than the time called for in the recipe. The bread turned out yummy and not too sweet...perfect!!
This banana bread was so good! It was very moist and, unlike other reviewers, it was not too sweet for me. I got three 9x5 loaves out of it, and baked them at 325 degrees to make up for the added volume. They came out just perfectly!
I love this recipe! I am a banana bread fan, so it isn't hard to please me, but my mother and sister are definitely anti- banana bread. Even they had to admit that "for banana bread, this is pretty good." Another plus, this bread freezes wonderfully! I left it in my freezer for a few months, and it was still moist and held together well when I thawed it. I will definitely make this again.

Earwax From Whales Keeps Record Of Ocean Contaminants
Originally published on Thu March 20, 2014 8:07 am
How often do whales clean their ears? Well, never. And so, year after year, their earwax builds up, layer upon layer. According to a study published Monday, these columns of earwax contain a record of chemical pollution in the oceans.
The study used the earwax extracted from the carcass of a blue whale that washed ashore on a California beach back in 2007. Scientists at the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History collected the wax from inside the skull of the dead whale and preserved it. The column of wax was almost a foot long.
"It's kind of got that icky look to it," says Sascha Usenko, an environmental scientist at Baylor University who was involved in the study. "It looks kind of like a candle that's been roughed up a bit. It looks waxy and has got fibers. But it's pretty rigid — a lot stronger and a lot more stable than one would think."
There are light and dark layers within the column, each layer corresponding to six months of the whale's life, Usenko says. Historically the rings have been used to estimate the age of the whale, he says, "very similar to counting tree rings."
But age is not what Usenko was after. He studies how chemical pollutants like DDT and flame retardants are affecting whales. These pollutants get deposited in fatty tissues, such as whale blubber. And scientists often analyze blubber to see what whales are eating.
But analyzing blubber has a limitation, Usenko says.
"I would only know that organism — that [particular] animal was exposed to those contaminants," he says. "I wouldn't know when."
And so he thought, why not look at earwax, which is also a fatty material that accumulates toxic chemicals.
Because each layer of wax corresponds to six months of a whale's life, by working through a plug of wax, Usenko could figure out when the animal was exposed to a particular chemical.
In this case, Usenko and his colleagues found that the whale had been exposed to worrisome pollutants throughout its lifetime.
He says the high levels of DDT surprised him.
"It's been 30-plus years since we've stopped using this compound," he says, "but to still see it showing up at such high concentrations — one of the dominant chemicals we see — was surprising."
Usenko and his team also determined that "a significant percentage of the exposure occurred in the first, early stages of the animal's life," when it was still nursing, and perhaps especially vulnerable. At that point, the pollutants came from the mother, through her milk, the scientist says.
Usenko says he can't tell just from looking at the wax whether these chemicals are hurting the development of young blue whales. He studied only one animal, and the earwax alone can't reveal whether the chemicals caused harm.
But the earwax also contained a record of fluctuations in stress hormones throughout the animal's life. And that, in combination with the chemical pollution data, may in the future provide better insight into the potential impacts of these chemicals on whales, Usenko says.
His current findings appear in the latest issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
But he needs more data, he says, so he has requested that scientists start collecting earwax from dead beached whales the world over and mail the samples to him.
Back in 2007, a blue whale was struck by a ship in the Pacific Ocean, and washed up on a California beach. Scientists collected and preserved bits of the dead whale, including its ear wax. Yes, whales have ear wax too, and it turns out it's a good indicator of which chemicals are polluting our oceans. NPR's Rhitu Chatterjee reports.
RHITU CHATTERJEE, BYLINE: How often do whales clean their ears? Never. So year after year the stuff builds up, layer upon layer. By the time this blue whale died, its ear wax was almost a foot long.
SASCHA USENKO: It's kind of got that icky look to it. It looks kind of like a long candle that's been roughed up a bit. It definitely looks waxy. It's pretty rigid.
CHATTERJEE: Sascha Usenko, of Baylor University, studied the ear wax. He says the column of wax has light and dark layers.
USENKO: Historically in the past, they've been used to estimate the age of the whale, very similar to counting tree rings.
CHATTERJEE: But age is not what Usenko was really after. He studies how organic pollutants like DDT and flame retardants are affecting whales. These pollutants get deposited in fatty tissues, like whale blubber. And scientists often analyze blubber to see what whales are ingesting. But, Usenko says, there's a limitation.
USENKO: I would only know that that organism, that animal, was exposed to those contaminants, but I wouldn't know when.
CHATTERJEE: This is why ear wax has the edge. Like blubber, it's made of fatty material that accumulates toxic chemicals. But each layer of wax corresponds to six months of the animal's life, so by working through a plug of wax, scientists can figure out when an animal was exposed to a chemical. In the case of this whale, Usenko found that it was exposed to organic pollutants throughout its lifetime. And, he says...
USENKO: A significant percentage of the exposure to contaminants occurred in the first early stages of the animal's life.
CHATTERJEE: When it was still nursing. In other words, the pollutants came from the mother through her milk. At that age, Usenko says, the animal would have been at its most vulnerable, but he can't say just from looking at the wax whether these chemicals are hurting the development of blue whales. After all, he only studied only one animal and the ear wax can't reveal whether the chemicals caused harm.
He's published his results in the latest "Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences." But he needs more data, so he suggests scientists start collecting ear wax from beached whales the world over and mail it to him.

Recipe by Mrs Brown
"Very similar to the rice of a famous burrito place, this rice pairs well with Mexican food and can be used as a filler in burritos."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

1 cup
long grain white rice
2 cups
1 teaspoon
chicken bouillon granules
2 tablespoons
fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons
chopped fresh cilantro
salt to taste
I used a bit less lime juice than the recipe calls for after reading the reviews. Also I the cilantro (plus a bit extra chopped finely) just before the rice finished cooking to allow the extra heat to increase the cilantro flavor. Turned out quite well and went great with the mexican dish I was making. Will make again for sure.
Compared to "that burrito place" (which I frequent at LEAST once a week), this comes close, but not enough for me to use as a substitute for my "burrito place's" rice fix. I wanted to leave the chicken bouillon out, but I always make my recipes as-is (or as close as I can) on the first run through. To anyone who is skeptical: leave it out, or cut the amount in half. I've tried another recipe with much better results, Google "Chipotle Copycat Lime Rice."
192 Ratings
This isn't really that good. We doubled the recipe and were anxious to make it due to the fact that we enjoy that certain "burrito place" that they claim it tastes like. However, such was not the case. I don't know if it is because we used a rice cooker but it just didn't turn out that well. The taste was a lot more like chicken when I was expecting more lime and cilantro. I would probably cut the chicken bullion is half and add more lime juice and cilantro. Still, we put it in burrito shells with seasoned chicken...not too bad, not too good. Sorry no picture...just looked like rice
The chicken bouillon granules kills the lime and cilantro taste. Use plain water instead and you will get the taste that you are looking for.
an additional note: this recipe had the water measurements for high altitude (denver, co) and should be adjusted for other cities
This was light and fresh tasting and we both loved the lime/cilantro blend of flavors. Hubs and I enjoy cilantro in mild amounts so I reduced it by about half but prepared the rest of the recipe just as directed. The chicken bouillon rounded out the flavors and just for a little richness I added a dab of butter. This is a delicately flavored rice, perfectly suited for more highly seasoned main dishes. I used this as the side dish for "Blackened Tuna Steaks with Mango Salsa," also from this site. It was a delicious combination.
When I was done revving up this recipe it was good, but the base recipe was just average. I'm taking it to a work potluck and we have several vegetarians there (so I nixed the chicken bouillon) as some of the reviews suggested. I think it would have been better with the bouillon. Anyhow... I used brown rice.....added a can of black beans (drained and rinsed), garlic powder, onion powder, red pepper flakes, and some cumin. Kosher salt, and fresh ground pepper. It's much better, but...when I tasted the original recipe there was NO WAY I would have taken this to a potluck "as is" because it was just to bland. I have a reputation to uphold...lolol I think it would be best layered into a big ol' bathtub burrito as filler (as opposed to an actual side dish). Or maybe with some delish marinated flank steak served over it.
Turned out pretty good! We used basmati rice- it is what the burrito places use and can be found at most grocery stores. Just be sure to follow the cook time that the rice package recommends as we overcooked ours! Will be try this in some different burritos!

Outsourcing our Brains?
Outsourcing our memories to machines is unlikely to stop anytime soon, but it will be interesting to see how other professions besides librarianship change in the coming years. Would you trust a physician who relies on an electronic device to remember standard diagnoses and dosages, for example? What about a researcher who can't spell? Reference librarians hardly do any work that involves looking up routine facts; increasingly we have shifted to assist more with informational processes related to comprehension, analysis, and integration.
Even if computers can beat us in the memory arena, the skill is still a measure of human intelligence. Unfortunately this is only obvious when when we are offline and disconnected, which is a decreasing amount of the time. But what makes us smarter than the machines we have created? We tend to change what we mean by intelligence in order to feel smarter than the machines, but there is less and less that machines don't 'know.' Here I'm echoing thoughts from a recent New Yorker article by Adam Gopnik:
"We have been outsourcing our intelligence, and our humanity, to machines for centuries. They have long been faster, bigger, tougher, more deadly. Now they are much quicker at calculation and infinitely more adept at memory than we have ever been. And so now we decide that memory and calculation are not really part of mind. ... We place the communicative element of language above the propositional and argumentative element, not because it matters more but because it's all that's left to us." [my bold]
Or maybe this is all wrong, and it's most accurate to say that our memories have been technologically enhanced in order to compensate for the increased quantity and availability of digital information. Machines may assist us, but we will continue to rely on our analog brains for the type of information -- even dry, fact-based information -- that we use every day at work and home. This is still quicker, at least until we embed microchips in our heads. But memorizing the type of information we don't access regularly, just for the sake of it, is less and less necessary. Fair enough?

Darn blogger. On the other hand, "in the garden of letters he will sow and plant, but only for the sake of recreation and amusement"ReplyDelete
Thanks for the links :-)
Like any other tool, the smartphone has found its place. In this case, it is the recovery of minutiae. Thoughts and things that would have been left to the side are now generally discoverable, especially when it comes to the pop culture trivia that manages to grind down different conversations.ReplyDelete
If anything, I don't think it will outsource memory (honestly, I don't need to know the entire cast of Happy Days) so much as it will outsource trivia knowledge. We'll still remember what is important and daily, but the other stuff will get left to quick searches. Hopefully, it will means better searching behaviors as well.
Thanks for the comment, Andy! I wish it was just Happy Days minutiae that I forget. But in the last few days it's been the year Pearl Harbor was bombed [in conversation], the difference between a Shiite and a Sunni [in the car listening to news], and how to spell Abu Dhabi [writing an email - google saved me that time].ReplyDelete
Maybe we should get some memory games for the library -- it's finals week anyway :-)
Olivia - reading this blog entry brought me back to a story some months back about superior autobiographical memory. You can check it out at http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2010/12/16/60minutes/main7156877.shtmlReplyDelete
No computer can replace memories of experiences whether they are good or bad
Thanks Bruce; the people in that article are amazing. I think what's so impressive is that they seem to do it so naturally, with no training or serious intention.ReplyDelete
For me, it's definitely more that "a healthy dose of forgetting is crucial to our ability to think."

"Memories" is the first track off Red Dirt's 1970 self-titled release on Fontana Records. While the album received little attention at the time, the group's blend of blues rock with prog and country influences has made it a hot commodity for collectors, with the original pressing going for as much as £600. In 2010, Morgan Blue Town reissued the album with five bonus tracks and featured "Memories" on their Truly, This Must be Heaven compilation. After the group disbanded, producer Geoff Gill and guitarist Steve Howden joined Fickle Pickle, who released one album, Sinful Skinful, on the Dutch label Explosion a little later in 1970.

Reporters often find it necessary to protect the identities of their sources. In the past, that secrecy was easier to achieve. Now, although digital technologies provide fast, convenient communications between reporters and sources, they also facilitate greater surveillance of those communications. If source confidentiality remains crucial to journalism, then reporters have a duty to take better precautions. But what measures are available, which ones are being used, and which ones are actually effective? Do anonymizing tools fulfill the promise of secure communications, or do they endanger users by creating false confidence? This conference will bring together journalists and technologists to discuss the security needs of journalism; current practices among reporters; the merits and pitfalls of the available technology; and what more can—or should—be done to protect communications of this nature.

Rated 4.7 out of 5 by 14 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by SuzyQ Great features Fantastic product. It's an outstanding design the way the weights adjust, just lift the flap and slide the weight bars in or out---so much better than those that use little sandbags which are difficult to take in and out and have a tendency to break open. And Dick's service was great also. I first purchased the wrong item by mistake (my mistake, not theirs). Took the item back to the store for a full purchase refund and then contacted the company and they even refunded the shipping charges! Can't beat that. By the way, these weights are for my 96 y/o mother and my 89 y/o aunt. We're up to 3 lbs. so far. Old people CAN! June 3, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by pugs Excellent How nice to find a product where you can add the required weights 1/2 pound at a time rather than buy individual weights at a certain pound. Showed them to my physical therapist and she has the information to tell others who are looking for weights August 7, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Patricia easy to use I like this product - easy to adjust the weights to exactly the amount of weight you want to use and add or subtract at will. My husband is currently bedridden and he does not want to loose his muscle mass in his arms and legs so I bought both the Wrist and leg weights and he uses them for PT. He loves them. July 4, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Jim Works Well Works Very Well. Comfortable to Wear. I like The Weights. January 30, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Michael997 Nice weights These were a replacement for a different brand that was falling apart. These seem to be made well. The ability to adjust the weight is a nice feature. March 2, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Sherry100 Great Product The weight adjustment is excellent. It is a bit big around my ankles and twists a bit as I cycle but I am a woman with a small frame. Still, the product is good. September 3, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Keith3057 Great product. I've never worn ankle weights before and was skeptical about which brand and type to purchase. I purchased these because they looked like they would be comfortable to wear and they had better reviews than others. After receiving these weights, I put them on with 1 pound of weight in each and they feel great. They are comfortable and stay in place. I love the ability to be able to purchase one product, start with small weights and work up to heavier weight without having to purchase another product. October 18, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Bartman08 Does the Job! Really like the 1/2 lb weights you can gradually work your weight up. fits around my ankles very well. Excellent product! February 3, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by JSIMONS29 This product is the best out there This is better than any other ankle weight. They are better than the sand ones. January 15, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by carol AWESOME! Best ankle weights I have purchased and I have purchased quite a few! October 13, 2014
