Hi Emma,
Starting the Whole30! So excited but I think the breakfast part is going to be the hardest as I love my hot oatmeal. I checked out your recipes some of which sound perfect. Thank you!!
Love your site!
How to Make Epic Smoothie Bowls!
My weekend plans almost always include making delicious, decadent, thick smoothies, and throwing them in a bowl with all the toppings imaginable. I often post photos of these creations on my Instagram account and they tend to get a pretty positive response, so I thought I would share how I do it here!
A couple of years ago, I was living at my parents' place and working from home, and I got into the habit of making a chocolate almond butter smoothie every morning for a quick + healthy breakfast. I always had a bit of trouble, though, with making these smoothies nice and thick, because I didn't want to add other fruits/veggies besides banana + spinach (because of the chocolate aspect). I would often find myself adding lots of extra banana chunks, but they didn't provide that much substance or make it thick up as much as I wanted them to.
It was a big moment last year when I discovered (through Instagram, duh) that other neutral veggies can be added to smoothies to make them thick, nutritious + creamy, without sacrificing taste. I am not exaggerating when I say that this discovery was LIFE CHANGING.
Now I'm passing this exclusive + critical knowledge on to all of YOU, so you, too, can make luscious smoothie bowls that beg to be obnoxiously topped + scooped with a spoon.
I like to make the base of my smoothies with neutral vegetables. These can include any of the following (or a mix), previously steamed then frozen:
- Cauliflower
- Zucchini
- Sweet potato
- Spinach (or other neutral-tasting greens)
- Carrot
*note: I have a large pot with a steamer insert, which I find works best for quickly steaming vegetables before freezing them. You can also buy something like this. I find laying them flat in a large freezer bag or glass container is the best way to freezer your veggie chunks!
I like to add a little bit of fruit for extra flavour + sweetness. I usually go with one or a mix of the following frozen fruits:
- Banana
- Blueberries
- Strawberries
- Cherries
- Mango
- Pineapple
- Mango
- Coconut meat
I alwaaaays include nut butter. If you have ripe avocado, this is a great addition to any smoothie bowl as well!
- Almond butter
- Peanut butter
- Coconut butter
- Avocado
- Coconut oil
- Collagen powder (I love Vital Proteins and Further Food – you can use my code KULASKITCHEN10 for 10% off your first Further Food order)
- Plant-based protein powder
- Hemp seeds (Manitoba Harvest ones are the best!)
- Chia seeds
- Ground flaxseeds
- Almond milk (if it's not homemade, Califia Farms is my fave!)
- Oat milk
- Cashew milk
- Coconut milk
- Coconut water
- 100% pure juice (apple, orange, etc.)
- Cocoa powder
- Coconut flakes
- Oats
- Fresh ginger
- Cinnamon
- Vanilla extract
- Homemade granola
- Hemp seeds
- Chia seeds
- Cacao nibs
- Coconut yogurt
- (More) nut butter
- Energy balls (like these or these…heh)
- Nuts (almonds, walnuts, cashews, etc.)
- Pumpkin seeds
- Fruit
Basic Recipe
- 1 c. neutral base (mixed frozen fruits + veg – I usually do zucchini, cauliflower and/or sweet potato)
- 1/2 c. extra fruit (banana, berries, etc.)
- 1/2 c. liquid (start with this amount and add more as needed!)
- 1 tbsp. nut butter
- 1 scoop collagen or protein (optional)
- few shakes of cinnamon
Flavour Ideas
Carrot Cake
- 1 c. mixed cauliflower + carrots (previously steamed + frozen)
- 1/2 c. sweet potato (cooked)
- 1-2 tbsp. vanilla protein powder (this gives it sweetness)
- 1 tbsp. almond or cashew butter
- 1 large date
- 1/2 c. almond milk
- 1/4 tsp. cinnamon
- pinch of nutmeg
- pinch of vanilla
- optional: small handful of rolled oats
Blueberry Avocado
- 1 c. mixed cauliflower/zucchini/sweet potato (or just one – steamed + frozen)
- 1/2 c. frozen blueberries
- 1/4 large ripe avocado
- 1 tbsp. almond or coconut butter
- 1/2 c. almond milk
- pinch of cinnamon
Super Green
- 1/2 c. steamed + frozen zucchini (could also switch this for fruit like mango or pineapple!)
- 1/2 c. spinach
- 1/2 large ripe banana (frozen is best)
- 1-2 tbsp. vanilla protein powder
- 1 tbsp. peanut butter
- 1/2 c. almond or oat milk
- pinch of cinnamon
Chocolate Banana
- 1/2 c. cooked sweet potato
- 1/2 c. steamed + frozen zucchini
- 1 large ripe banana (frozen is best)
- 2 tbsp. cocoa powder
- 1 tbsp. almond or peanut butter
- 1/2 c. almond milk
- 1-2 tbsp. chocolate protein or collagen (optional)
Strawberry Coconut Beet
- 1/2 c. steamed + frozen beets
- 1 c. frozen strawberries (or mixed berries!)
- optional: extra frozen zucchini and/or banana for added bulk
- 1/2 c. coconut milk
- 1 tbsp. coconut butter
- 2 tbsp. unsweetened shredded coconut
General Tips
- You need a good, reliable, high-speed blender for these. Unfortunately, I don't think a regular Magic Bullet will do, but I use a NutriBullet and it works wonderfully for these (it's very strong!) Highly recommend.
- I always steam + freeze tons of veggies ahead of time as part of my meal prep, which is the best way to have them on hand for these. Steaming them ensures that they're super easy to digest – with zucchini, it doesn't necessarily NEED to be steamed first, this is just what works best for me! Sweet potato/squash obviously need to be cooked, and I would definitely recommend cooking the cauliflower, as raw cauli can be pretty tough on the tummy. As long as you remember to prep these in advance and pop them in freezer bags/glass containers, you're good to go!
- I always find these sweet enough, but maybe I'm more used to the less-sweet taste, so if you need more feel free to add a date or a few banana slices until it's to your liking!
- Always start with a small amount of liquid – about 1/2 c. at a time – and keep adding in very small amounts to get your blender moving, while keeping it super thick. This ensures your smoothie is thick enough to go in a bowl!
- I love adding flavourless collagen (see links above in this post) for a protein/nutrition boost
- I will add a slightly sweetened vanilla protein to a very veggie-heavy smoothie (like the carrot cake one) to give it that perfect amount of sweetness
- Cinnamon, always <3

The Heart 6/1/09
No other organ is spoken of more often or with more importance than the heart. I loved her with all my heart. We all know that the heart is responsible for the movement of blood throughout the body, but the heart is often spoken of as being something more than physical. It has been said that the path to god is through the heart. Salvation. We are told to follow our hearts. Trust in your heart it is said. But why is this?
I can tell you that as a Healing Arts Practitioner, athlete and warrior, the heart is what all of these disciplines use to center one's focus and achieve the state of samhidi or non-duality. But how does this occur? Why the heart and not say the stomach or liver? Well believe it or not one can focus one's consciousness center in either of these organs or any of one's organs for that matter. The result will be something less than the ideal center. Remember it is not the heart that is anxious it is the stomach that is where involuntary hunger(thought) lies. It is not the heart that experiences lust, that is an emotion of an overcharged liver, which desires. The heart knows only the true central emotion of compassion. This is why, my friends we want to allow the heart to guide our actions. They will be more complete. So it's not just spiritual or mystical. There is a real science to this.
How does this work though? For some, the feeling of the heart is as foreign as not feeling the heart would be to others. That is bi-polar. This is where it becomes fascinating. Your heart sits in the center of a chamber of connective tissue called fascia. Fascia is amazing stuff. It is stronger than steel on a molecular level! Fascia also serves a little known but extremely important function. It is along the fascial sheaths that bio-electric energies flow. This energy, also known as chi, prana, baraka, orgonite and many others is guided by your emotional state.
It is in the consciousness center that we call the heart, that how we feel about life is stored, dealt with and processed. It is not in your head. That stores what you think about life. Thinking and feeling, two very different things. But as we all know there is no separation between thought and feeling. They exist in a continuum. There is a constant feedback loop between the two. In most people though, one aspect dominates the other. The heart, the brain and all of the organs communicate thought process through the nervous system via axons, dendrites and the like. They also communicate emotionally through feelings, along the fascial sheaths with the heart as the minister much as the brain is the minister of the nervous system.
Now you may ask, Jujupoogie what is this feeling that you speak of? How do I understand something so seemingly vague? Well I ask you, have you not ever felt indigestion? Have you ever felt an orgasm? How about have you ever been in love? These are feelings. The rushes, tingles, pulsations, spasms, aches, and bloats. This is the language of feeling. Believe it or not you can train your heart to develop its ability to guide feeling just as you can develop your mind's ability to guide thought. It does not matter whether that feeling is good or bad it can be guided by the heart. How you ask?
That fascial chamber that surrounds your heart? It is called the pericardium. The pericardium has an ideal or sacred geometrical shape. Remember, feeling or emotion flows along the fascial sheaths. Negative emotions constrict and congest the fascial pathways. It begins in the sheath (pericardium) around your heart. There is an entire fascial network in your body that surrounds all organs, muscles, glands, the genitalia, everything. Through this fascial network, all of your physical being is connected and in communication. The information is sent out from the heart via the pericardium and it will either open or close the ajoining fascia depending on the quality of the emotional charge. Now we can see why we need to practice all of the corny stuff that the various religions preach. It's essential to your best experience. Till all are one. Fusion.
The pericardium is said to ideally have many facets, much like a polished gemstone. The more facets a gemstone has the more light it may reflect. The more facets the pericardium has open, the more compassion or love that heart is reflecting. Fear destroys the facets of one's pericardium. It causes the fascial sheaths to become ossified and hard so that the proper feeling does not flow. This makes it harder to give or receive loving thoughts or feelings and the person spirals deeper into their personal phobias and constrictions. This is the unconscious aging, dying process. One becomes more stiff , rigid and afraid.
The heart can be split in two general ways, although there are many sub-directional, karmic facets. In the ideal these spread evenly throughout. This original rift represents the dichotomy of ying-yang, male-female, past-future and so on. The left side of the pericardium may ossify causing the person to be less receptive, more active, hotter. The mind will tend to the future, the body will lean to the right, the left brain is emphasized, strong liver, weak stomach. This is the pattern of modern society. If the right side is frozen then the past dominates thoughts, the body will favor to the left, the right brain is emphasized, cooler personality, strong stomach, weak liver. The person is receptive but more passive, the left hand path. The left side receives the connection, the right side gives it. That is why some people can give advice but can't take it! They are the prison builders, conquerors and charity givers. It is also why some people are seductive, vampire like or taker types. They receive more then they give. The key is the balance of the pericardium. Most of us are completely ignorant of this information and generally see our side as "right" and the other side as "wrong". Obviously there are various degrees of constriction and many levels of being open or closed. Some believe that the imbalance of our age is an inability of the dominate culture to receive love. The right hand path. Some would say that global warming is nothing more then the heat generated by the connection; love, compassion improperly received. Like friction between human and universe. Or man and woman....
We can change though. The pericardium is controlled by the muscles that surround it and these muscles can be exercised. We can learn to develop the weak side of our heart the same way we can learn to develop a weak hand or leg. In fact it is the only way to develop a weak hand or leg. This is where athletics and art are critical. You have to feel your way back to wholeness. Bruce Lee speaks on this in the Martial arts film classic , The Return of the Dragon.
You must learn to retrain the weak side of your consciousness. This is the highest reason for athletics and art. Not to dominate your peers but to reclaim your wholeness. We love the best athletes and artists because they represent the least afraid hearts. That's cool right! You can become more whole too. The key is to repetitively train your weaker side. With Healing as your focus! This will slowly begin to awaken the rigid muscles and fascia on that side of the heart.
The feeling will begin to re emerge like some long, lost dream or vision of a more perfect time. It will spark a remembrance. Except now it will be your new reality. So, prepare to be patient, very, very patient. So patient that time will seem to have stopped moving and you have become as quiet and soft as a manatee. Only then will you be ready to allow reality to extract the illusions from your being and allow wholeness to fill in the sacred space you have just created. Peace unto all.
It will be hard and uncomfortable at first. Some days it will feel as if nothing is happening or that you are even regressing. You must feel your way back slowly but surely. There will be setbacks. You'll have to work through old fears that may be ancestral in origin. The fears locked in your DNA are expressed through the fascia upon conception. Rapes, wars, addictions and so on. We pass them on to our children if we do not deal with them ourselves. In a future article I will write about how it is actually emotion that is responsible for activating or deactivating the DNA. Deep stuff but have faith, eventually, re-calibrating the pericardium will give you everything you ever really wanted. A sense of wholeness that supersedes any external condition.
Have you not ever noticed how many former fighters and warriors go on to find god? There is a whole sect of Buddism, The Shaolin, that emphasize martial training as a prerequisite to initiation into their higher schools of practice. Until you have proven you can feel your heart fully, they ain't interested. There are tribes in Africa, the Mende in Guinea come to mind, who don't want to hear a word you have to say until you have centered your heart and are happy. They drum and dance as a way of life and one's ability to center the heart is how they judge success. It's also why they were sought out as slaves. So much love, so much ability to forgive, to be in the moment and ignore adverse externals. They could keep themselves alive during the most hellish conditions by losing their minds behind their hearts. There is a lesson there.
It's no accident. All the years of repetitive training, from many different angles, with both sides of the body emphasized evenly, have left these types more whole. Not only that, but through that repetition they now have the ability to control the shape of the pericardium under the stressful or adverse conditions that arise during competition and more importantly life. That is spiritual maturity. One of my mentors and good friends is a former world Champion kick boxer and Hollywood stuntman. He ain't too scared. Now he is 57, looks 40 and is one of the happiest people you will ever meet.
Two of the most spiritual dudes I know are former special forces operatives. One Marine Force Recon the other Navy Seal. These guys have ran and swam so many miles. They have carried 60 lb packs on 20 mile humps and been in the midst of death and destruction. If they had not found their heart center the work would have worn their bodies out, the stress of combat crippled them with fear.
In movement you use your joints.The hinge joints are meant to work on an even plane. There is no quicker way to wear out a knee than favoring one leg over the other. Most people neglect the weak side and overdevelop their strengths. This builds the false ego and is a sure way to end up dead, defeated or unable to continue using your body at a high level as you mature. Now we can see clearly how fear actually works its demonic energies upon you. The negative emotions may well be likened to demons and perhaps that is why the words exorcism and exercise are so similar. Notice the pattern though. You have to be strong. You must learn to give all that you have and receive all that is for you. There can be no guilt about having, no doubt about giving. The breathe is key. The inhale, the exhale.
I know a beautiful young lady, who has experienced more loss and heartbreak than most people twice her age but she is a committed fighter and dancer. She keeps her heart pure through the wholeness of her movements. A light and inspiration to all who meet her, she has become an angel on earth and one one my dearest friends.
Think of the high, chested song birds. Keeping their hearts clear through song and flight. There was a time when people remembered that singing could be used to feel the heart whole not just to gain recognition and be idolized. How would we respond now to someone walking down the street singing? That's how far we have gone. It's only cool to sing in public if it's in a certain venue. Only one person can win a contest but everyone can be whole. The different song notes exercise the different facets and you can literally hear the blemish or purity in a person's heart as they vocalize.
You need to feel me cause how can there really be a question as to why we may be sick?! We know damn well we ain't living right yall, when we don't even sing and dance as a release any more. Start to practice feeling yourself whole, and moving back towards more completes experiences.
Dance, athletics, combat, Healing Arts it's all the same. You can see, hear, feel the heartfelt integration or lack thereof. You don't have to stay half of a person. This is the experience of life. It's in the feeling. It's in the heart.
Peace and blessings

Day 2 didn't go so well in terms of overall target. I ran on all of 40 calories from my post-9:30 a.m. workout blend of Emergen-C and BCAA till I got home at close to 9:00 p.m. -- it also meant that I only had time to have 2 scoops of whey protein, 4 fish oil caps, a tablespoonful of PB2, and 2 slices of whole grain bread before it was bed time. Going without food for a long time really doesn't bother me much, because I've been so conditioned to just keep going (esp. in the Army) with limited amounts of sustenance. In fact, it's odd. I never get hungry when I'm or away from food, but am stricken with the worst cravings whenever it's accessible. Pfffffffttt.
Oh, and yes, I know you must be saying -- bread???? Yeah, I know, that should've been eons away from anything that dares to call itself a PSMF, but it was from Whole Foods and aptly named "Seeduction Bread". Well, obviously, I was see-duced. (On that note, it's a very healthy bread and I recommend it wholeheartedly to anyone who isn't on Paleo/low-carb kind of eating plan. Dense, nutty, flavorful and packed with all sorts of Good Things).
But I used Fitday to total up my calories and macronutrients and it came up to 512 calories (alright, waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too low), 61.3 g protein, 43.6 g carbs, and 9.0 g fat. Alright. More protein today, no more Seeduction bread, and hopefully a better day! Although I'll have to do 50 burpees to make up for my transgression.
(Oh, and I don't mean to make you tumble from your low-carb/no grains wagon, but here's a recipe for the amazing Seeduction Bread. Look! Isn't it gorgeous?)

The feline community has expressed outrage over the suggestion that their urine smells similar to laptops made by manufacturer of very low grade computers, Dell.
Mr Mistoffelees, spokescat and conjuror for children's parties, said "Those assholes who complained that their piece-of-shite laptops smelled of cat pee can go hang themselves.
"My urine is like a fine, dry Tesco's own brand chardonnay, compared with the un-upgradable, cheap, laughable excuses for 'computers' that bunch of morons crap out.
"Honestly, they take about forty-five minutes to start up and shut down, they constantly fuck-up and crash, and as for their aftercare; the customer helpline provides less support than a wall built of giant boob implants. And is, I highly suspect, manned by a wall of giant boob implants.
"Cat piss? You fucking wish, Dell!"
Business partners Mungojerrie and Rumpelteazer said "As professional pranksters, with multiple convictions for micturating upon various technological items during the assemblage process, we want it to be known that we had nothing to do with this. We wouldn't piss on a Dell for all the tea in China. They are total wank."
Cat computer specialist, Rum Tum Tugger was asked for his opinion, but said he was too busy setting up his new franchise of Happy Ending masseuse parlors.
Macavity the Mystery Cat said "Dell computers are basically just junk.
"They're the kind of thing your gran buys, because she thinks she's going to join the 'information technology revolution', and she saw them advertised during Countdown.
"They are computers for fuckwits, morons, and the kind of people who think taking a masterpiece by T S Eliot, and giving it to Andrew Lloyd fucking Webber to ruin, is a really good idea."

Woke up one morning to find her boots frozen to the floor, drove to the airport, got on a plane, spent two weeks in southern California, came back, and never left again (although she and her husband did end up buying a house).

The Golden Eagles are in the final stages of the season. They are trying to overcome a ten-game stretch in which they lost seven games.
ORU started the season 8-2 highlighted by a nail-biting win over in-town rival Tulsa in the annual PSO Mayor's Cup. ORU needed every second against the Golden Hurricane. They beat Tulsa 70-68 with a last second shot by Obi Emegano.
The momentum was short lived. The team went 4-12 between Dec. 5 and Feb. 10, and currently hold seventh place in the Summit League standings.
The Golden Eagles are looking to right the ship before the conference tournament next month. In years past, the only Summit League team to make the NCAA tournament has been the conference cham- pion. The team will have to undo the recent string of costly fourth quarter collapses and bad habits to make a run at the conference championship.
ORU will look to the senior leadership of Obi Emegano to further the chances of a postseason run. "It's about trying to win as many games as we can and turn this program around," said Emegano. Emegano will not be able to do it all by himself.
The young players on the team will have to step up and contribute down the stretch.
"There are things about the game that they're not so aware of, and I think it's my job to help them with the little nuances of the game and where to be," said Emegano.
Head Coach Scott Sutton has reiterated the high quality of players on his roster despite the current growing pains.
"This is a good group of guys. They're high character guys," said Sutton. "They're fun to be around. Their attitudes, their effort, that's a positive, and it will allow us to get out of this slump."
The Golden Eagles will play tomorrow night against Western Illinois at the Mabee Center. Tip-off is set for 7 p.m.

November 11, 2014
Powa Technologies, a British mobile payments and e-commerce company, recently raised $80 Mn from Wellington Management, a public markets investor in a Series C funding round. Wellington had also invested
Powa will be using the fresh funds to promote its U.S. launch during the holiday season and attract merchants to adopt its platform for selling. Powa wishes to compete against other established players like Square, Shopify, Big Commerce and others. Powa is moving into the U.S. market at a time when Wal-Mart, Target and other merchants under the MCX consortium are building their own payments platform. Moreover Google Wallet, Apple Pay, PayPal and numerous startups are trying hard to gain a higher position in the growing mobile payments space.
As per a recent report by Javelin Strategy and Research, the increase in penetration of Apple's iBeacon and other proximity payment technologies would lead to an increase in consumers spending, on physical goods via smartphones, from $3 Bn in 2013 to $53 Bn in 2019.
Powa follows the 'merchant-first' strategy and the company's traction with merchants and new products might have been a key reason behind attracting Wellington. Powa has already signed 970 merchants including Adidas, Nicole Miller, Unilever, Carrefour and Cort Ingles to its platform in the past one year and is signing more merchants at a pace of around 150 every month.
Merchants leverage Powa's platform for their marketing and advertising programs enabling customers to make more spontaneous purchases. Partner merchants prompt their customers to download the Powa app and input payment information. Registered users can then make purchases via the Powa Tag platform using triggers like online and offline pictures of ads, audio watermarks embedded in TV and radio, and other such triggers.
Powa enables its merchants to attract customers by offering customized promotions and promoting purchases directly from ads in magazines and other media. Not only this, Powa also collects and analyses purchase data on behalf of the merchants. Powa charges 40 cents from the merchant for every transaction enabled via its platform.
The wider tech-world can take note from the level of seed funding Powa technologies had acquired earlier this year. People can expect to see PowaTags appearing across magazines, newspapers and in displays of products. Powa plans to spread the new beacon technology across numerous retail locations. The plan is to enhance customer engagement by pushing special alerts to customers in close proximity of products. PowaTag is hoping that its all-in-one strategy and the aid of investors

Ongoing farm management innovation leads to success for Duane & Marilyn Hershey in Pennsylvania
Continuing management and business innovation is the story at Ar-Joy Farm near Cochranville in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, where Duane and Marilyn Hershey work with their 800-plus milking animals and farm 600 acres. It was more than 30 years ago when this couple took over the farm from Duane's parents, gradually expanding the registered Holstein herd, facilities and acreage.
Calves are raised with automated group feeding and the herd sustains a less than one percent loss. The feeding program is built around high-quality silage from all BMR corn. In another complimentary business, the Hersheys partner with two other dairy farms to haul their own milk.
The current herd average is right at 28,000 lbs. milk on 3X.
There are 15 employees working with the Hersheys, along with Marilyn's dad, Mast, still active at age 89.
Industry Leaders
Both Duane and Marilyn are active locally and nationally. Marilyn was recognized at Dairy Expo this year as the Dairy Woman of the Year. She is vice-chair of Dairy Management, Inc., is secretary of the Mid-Atlantic Dairy Association speakers bureau and serves on the National Dairy Promotion and Research Board. She writes a popular column in a leading dairy magazine and when her son, Robert, was battling leukemia she wrote a book to help families around the world deal with childhood cancer. Duane has been active in local organizations and currently is serving on the Land O' Lakes Cooperative national board. The Hersheys have four adult children, Stephen, Kelby, Robert and Kacie and a grandchild with another due soon.
Genetics and Marketing – Another Revenue Source
It is often said that a well-managed commercial scale dairy farming operation makes a great home for a Registered Holstein breeding program. Today the breeding program is built around using pre-release top genomic bulls working with Semex and Select Sires, genomic testing, flushing elite females, IVF on the high genomic calves, selling high end animals and making careful purchases. All the calves are raised and excess fresh cows are sold, some 70 head per year. This year, two loads went to Canada.
A current favorite young cow is Seagull-Bay Alexa One-ET (VG-88) with two outstanding young records… almost 1200 lbs. of at 2y3m and a second lactation at 3y9m 305d 33,030 milk 3.9% 1296 fat 3.1% 1038 protein. Sired by Numero Uno and out of a VG-88, 1300-lb. fat Dorcy with the Pine Tree prefix, she is 2374 GTPI with milking daughters by Monterey, Kingboy, Missouri, Yoder, Deyja and Damaris. She has yearling daughters by Chinchi and Modesty, and those two have been flushed to Fortune, Reason, Jared and Flyer.
The Chinchi is flushed to Juicy for bulls to Genex and to Reason for an embryo contract to Japan. And she has sons at Semex, Genex and ABS by Modesty and Damaris. A milking Damaris out of Alexa is GP-83, 2y at 2545 GTPI and has a yearling and calves by Modesty and Bandaras with two sons sold to ABS and Germany.
Strategic purchases this year include a +2800 GTPI Jedi in the Pa Convention Sale and an Imax daughter in the NY Breeders Sale at Cornell last month. On the sales side, a DB Charley June heifer with +2759 GTPI out of a Damaris dam sold in the World Classic at Dairy Expo for $14,500 to Cranehill Genetics, Hilmar, Calif. Embryo sales continue to France and Germany and to Genelite and bulls are contracted to Semex, Select and Genex.

If you watched the final debate of the 2012 presidential election last night you know the topic was foreign policy and the stakes couldn't have been higher. I took part in HuffPost Live's After Party to discuss how President Obama and Gov. Romney did. Check out the conversation here and watch the analysis below:
Tag Archives: Video
Who doesn't know that post-traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD, is a growing problem among troops returning from Iraq and Afghanistan? I've written about the toll combat stress has taken on women warriors back from the post-9/11 wars and how what was once known as "shell shock" still haunts World War II veterans.
But today I went on HuffPost Live with host Ahmed Shihab-Eldin to talk about a new kind of combat stress: the toll on U.S.-based crews who remotely control drones thousands of miles away from the physical battlefield. They may get to go home to their families at night but the stress on these airmen is just as serious.
Read about the segment here and see what others are saying here.
And be sure to check out my perspective as a reporter who went to Utah to interview the surviving crew of the Enola Gay, the B-29 bomber that dropped the atom bomb on Hiroshima, and more recently to Colorado to talk to the next generation of drone pilots at the Air Force Academy.
Wisconsin Brownout: Politics After The Sikh Temple Shooting
In the days following the shooting at a Wisconsin Sikh temple, neither President Obama nor Mitt Romney visited the families of the victims. As HuffPost Live host Ahmed Shihab-Eldin noted, this kind of political inattention can perpetuate Islamophobia and racism against brown people. Check out the conversation and read deeper here. And watch the segment below:
Dems Are The New Hawks
Since the killing of Osama bin Laden, President Obama and his fellow Democrats have touted their foreign defense strength — a big change given Republicans' traditional strength in that area.
In this recent segment of HuffPost Live, I speak with host Marc Lamont Hill about the new hawkishness in the Democratic Party and whether that will help them win in November. Given that the third presidential debate between President Obama and Mitt Romney will focus on foreign policy, this couldn't be more relevant.
Mormon Moment Delayed
Here is another segment I did during the inaugural week of HuffPost Live back in August.
The discussion with hosts Abby Huntsman and Marc Lamont Hill focused on religion, specifically the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. While considerable attention has been devoted to Mitt Romney's tax returns and his former company, Bain Capital, we talked about why there had been less focus on the faith of the nation's first Mormon major party nominee for president.
You can read related articles and see what the HuffPost Liev community had to say here. Or just watch the segment below:
A Secret Drone War in Africa
My debut on HuffPost Live during its first week online. That's host Ahmed Shibab-Eldin introducing the segment focusing on the shadowy American drone campaign in Somalia.
Spying From A "Balloon"
Surveillance balloons like those used in Iraq and Afghanistan may soon help patrol our borders. The technology could be effective but at what cost to our privacy?
That was the topic of a recent HuffPost Live segment that I did from the New York studio with host Ahmed Shihab-Eldin and guests. Watch it here:

How do I install shelving?
Installing shelves is a simple task if you understand the steps involved.
Today we're going to discuss the installation of shelving. Probably one of the simplest things to do, but for most people, the hardest thing to figure out how.Before we install shelving, there's a couple of things that we need to determine in order to make this job successful. First thing is the weight factor that's going to be placed on these shelves. Second thing, the makeup of the wall itself that were going to put this onto. Most walls that you're going to come across in your home are made up of drywall and two-by-fours. Drywall is a half inch piece of gypsum board that covers the entire inside of your house. It is attached to individual two-by-fours that are the structural member of your house. Two-by-fours are actually only half an inch thick and in most houses are placed 16 inches on center. The heavier shelves that we would use need to be and should be installed onto the framing member of the two-by-four where some of the lighter weight shelvings that we use can be installed into drywall with approved fasteners. To start the process we want to determine where our two-by-fours are at. We do that in a couple of different ways. We can either use a stud sensor, find the first two-by-four, mark over 16 inches, continually, and you should have that. The second thing you can do is a little trick of knocking on the wall. See where it sounds less dense and go from there. Once you find one two-by-four, you should be able to mark over and find the other ones. Let's go to the process of actually installing our shelves. The first one that we have up here is with utility brackets and a shelf sitting on top. We mounted this one into the drywall using an anchor system that supports itself on the drywall. This shelf right here will probably hold up to about 50 pounds. We figure out first our heighth of the shelves that we want, we draw level line straight across. On that level line is where we drill our hole to mount our two screws. From there, we do the other bracket and we set this one right on top.The next shelf that we are going to discuss is wire shelving. Probably something that a lot of have in your homes, a lot of you use in your closets. This particular shelf that we put in here is mounted into drywall with approved fasteners that come with the shelving. We drilled our holes, we mounted the anchor in, pushed in the nail, covered up the clip, set our shelf in and let it hang. Now we have our level. Now we need our support system for this. The support system that I'm showing you here today is an angled wall support. With these particular ones, we want to raise our shelve to level, place this bracket onto the front of the shelf, onto the wall, and make a mark. Pull it off, drill our hole and set it in. You'll notice on this particular bracket right there, we actually hit a two-by-four. So the drywall anchor that we had and have with the unit didn't work. We improvise. We take a regular screw, mount it in. It's actually a stronger setup. Not necessary, but stronger. Do the other side here, hollow anchor, pushed it in, we were good to go.List of tools that we may need: let's start with our laser level. Battery operated mounts to the wall. Shows a red line straight across. You need to level it out, and from there you'll be able to mount your screws in a level area. If we don't have one of those, just go to a straight line level. Four foot, three foot, many different sizes. You're going to put that on the wall, you're going to make your mark at the height you want your shelves, place your level on that mark, get the bubble to level.The next thing we'll need is a drill. Cordless drill, drywall anchors if we're mounting into there. A stud finder to find the studs, a hammer to put in those stubborn anchors that we might need to use a little force to, Phillips screwdriver, slotted screwdriver, and finally, a tape measure, so we can mark our heights and find out exactly where we want our shelves to be.Shelves are a very simple thing to put up. Failure with them usually comes with the fact that people do not install them based on the fact of how much weight they're putting on them. So if you realize the things we've already talked about, the placement of the two-by-fours, where the drywall is, and how much weight you'e going to put on there, and use the proper anchors, this will be a very simple process for you.

HAMPDEN-SYDNEY, VA-The Hampden-Sydney baseball team will have to wait for their first result, as their 8-1 lead against Ferrum College has been suspended in the bottom of the eighth inning and will resume on April 19 at Ferrum before the teams play their 6:00 PM scheduled game.
Hampden-Sydney jumped to an early lead with eight runs in the first three innings of play.
Four of those runs came in the first inning on just one hit. After Cody Smith (Bristol, VA/Virginia HS) led off the game being hit by a pitch, the Tigers drew three straight walks to bring him home. Blake Hartman (Chester, VA/Thomas Dale) then made it 2-0 after Ryan Clawson (Moseley, VA/Cosby) drew another walk. Moe Gothe (Chester, VA/Thomas Dale) then doubled that lead with the lone hit of the inning – a two-RBI single that scored Chase Counts (Virginia Beach, VA/Ocean Lakes) and Brian Goodwyn (Chester, VA/Thomas Dale).
Goodwyn scored the next run of the game for the Tigers, crossing the plate in the second inning on a Counts RBI-double. Counts then scored his second run of the day later in the inning with Clawson batting him in on a single.
The Tigers added two more runs in the third, upping their lead to 8-0, as Hartman drove in Smith, and Devin Daugherty (Norcross, GA/Greater Atlanta Christian) doubled to score Hartman.
Ferrum was able to crack the scoreboard in the fourth, scoring one run to make it an 8-1 game.
Neither team was able to score over the next four innings.
The Tigers have used eight different pitchers so far, all throwing one inning. Charles Murrah (Tallahassee, FL/Maclay School) leads the group with two strikeouts.
Offensively, the team has six hits. Counts, Clawson, and Gothe all have two RBI, while Hartman has drawn four walks.
The Tigers and Panthers will complete this game on April 19 at Ferrum.

PAUL WELLENS expressed satisfaction with a superb performance against Australia, but was disappointed Great Britain slipped to a last-gasp defeat in the Tri-Nations tournament.
"I was pretty happy with my own performance," said the St Helens full-back, who discovered he was playing early in the week.
"It was a decent start for me personally, but there are still areas of the game where I would like to improve.
"There are a lot of very good full-backs in the country and I was very pleased to get the chance to prove myself in international football. Hopefully, I can keep the shirt.
"We felt we could go on and win it but, in hindsight now, you would settle for a point," admitted Wellens. "It just shows if you switch off for one second against a quality side, you're going to get stung."
Britain coach Brian Noble will hold a roll call today before thinking about his side to play the Kiwis at the Galpharm Stadium next Saturday.
Loose forward Sean O'Loughlin and centre Paul Johnson were both ruled out of Saturday's game through ill-ness, while fullback Kris Radlinski was not risked after being plagued by back trouble.
Noble is unlikely to make many changes to his pack, with Stuart Fielden, Adrian Morley and Andrew Farrell impressive, and Wellens giving a faultless performance.
It was all about taking positives from a clash against the world champions who, for the fourth successive match, came from behind to condemn their hosts to defeat.
The Aussies admitted they were fortunate to leave the City of Manchester Stadium with maximum points.
"We were fully expecting to win the game because we know we're a quality side and we can beat anyone on our day," said Wellens.
"We can certainly lift ourselves, it's a Tri-Nations tournament and we've still three group games and six points up for grabs."
The new-look British side, with five youngsters on Test debut, were on course to end their dismal run against the Aussies when they led 8-0 after 32 minutes.
Centre Martin Gleeson marked his return to action after a four-and-a-half month layoff with a sparkling try and the 38,572 crowd were in party mood by the time winger Brian Carney sped over for another long range effort.
A defensive lapse in first-half stoppage time allowed giant substitute Willie Mason to crash over, and the Aussies levelled 11 minutes into the second half when winger Luke Rooney crossed at the corner.
It was Rooney with his fifth touchdown in just three Test appearances in the final move of the match who clinched victory.
There was no time for Britain to come back.

Reading Comprehension, Paper Vs Digital
Ever since we began to use desktops, laptops and more recently, ipads and phones, studies have been done to see if students reading comprehension was better using digital equipment or printed paper.
Until recently, studies were inconclusive. Some students (primary and secondary schools) did better on one than the other, depending on the topic.
Now, studies are more revealing. In this diagram comprehension of writing on paper along a line, is the reference level. The left diagram shows the reading comprehension where students are increasing their knowledge of IT. The right diagram shows that this potential difference increases over the years with decline in reading comprehension. I would consider the second diagram would apply to secondary school students, not primary students.
Here is the link: See "Don't throw away your printed books: A meta-analysis on the effects of reading media on reading comprehension" P. Delgado et al. Educational Research Review 25 (2018) 23–38 25
It is time to take the full implications of digital technologies in classrooms very seriously. Often it's a matter of when we introduce and how we introduce something in classrooms, as well as the measure we use. New technologies – like the latest in everything – carries the weight of new findings with it. But there is the tendency is to think that more must be better. Studies over time will reveal whether more really is better for all our children.

Yamaneko is basking in the 'Afterglow' on new Local Action EP
The five-tracker lands August 30
Ambient experimenter Yamaneko is returning this month with a brand new EP titled 'Afterglow'.
Landing on Local Action, the new project follows up a string of revered releases on the imprint including his 2014 debut album 'Pixel Wave Embrace' and last year's ambitious mini-LP 'Spa Commissions'.
Described as his, "darkest, fullest release to date" via a press release, the new five-tracker is set to combine fragility with power as it finds the UK talent, "shredding, distorting and reversing trance signifiers into brutal, broken compositions, honing in on the most unhinged aspects of euphoria" throughout the project.
The 'Afterglow' EP lands August 30 via Local Action. Pre-order here and check out teaser cut 'Second Encounter' below.
Yamaneko is bringing 'Afterglow' to life later this autumn with a new live show, locking in festival dates in both Norway and Uganda as well as a show at London's Rye Wax on September 19. Grab a ticket to his London A/V performance here.

GOP advances Kavanaugh after Flake calls for FBI probe
By LISA MASCARO, ALAN FRAM and MARY CLARE JALONICK
Associated Press
Friday, September 28
WASHINGTON (AP) — After a flurry of last-minute negotiations, the Senate Judiciary Committee advanced Brett Kavanaugh's nomination for the Supreme Court after agreeing to a late call from Republican Sen. Jeff Flake of Arizona for a one week investigation into sexual assault allegations against the high court nominee.
However, it's unclear if Republican leaders — or President Donald Trump — will support Flake's call for the investigation or might instead press forward with a full Senate vote on Kavanaugh's nomination.
The dramatic scene unfolded a day after Kavanaugh and his accuser, Christine Blasey Ford, testified in an emotional, hours-long hearing. Kavanaugh angrily denied the allegations that he assaulted Ford while they were both in high school, while she said she was "100 percent" certain he was her attacker.
Flake, a key moderate Republican, was at the center of the drama and uncertainty. On Friday morning, he announced that he would support Kavanaugh's nomination. Shortly after, he was confronted in an elevator by two women who, through tears, implored him to change his mind.
After huddling privately with his colleagues, Flake announced that he would vote to advance Kavanaugh's nomination to the full Senate only if the FBI were to investigate the allegations against the judge. Democrats have been calling for such an investigation, though Republicans and the White House have insisted it's unnecessary.
'Look at me:' Women confront Flake on Kavanaugh support
By COLLEEN LONG and LAURIE KELLMAN
Associated Press
Friday, September 28
WASHINGTON (AP) — Moments after Jeff Flake announced his support for Brett Kavanaugh, he was confronted with one of the consequences.
Two women cornered him as he got on an elevator Friday, pleading for him to reconsider his support for the Supreme Court nominee accused of sexual assault. The raw, emotional moment was caught on television, capturing the charged atmosphere in the Capitol as senators prepare to vote.
"Look at me and tell me that it doesn't matter what happened to me," said 23-year-old Maria Gallagher.
A day earlier, the senators heard hours of testimony from Christine Blasey Ford, a California psychology professor who told them Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her when the two were teenagers. Kavanaugh strongly denied the allegation in hours of bombastic testimony.
Flake had lobbied Republican leaders to give Ford the chance to speak. He was viewed as a possible no vote, until the announcement Friday morning.
The senator was on his way to the Senate Judiciary Committee as the two women, who are both affiliated with advocacy groups, told him they were sexual assault survivors.
"On Monday, I stood in front of your office," Ana Maria Archila, co-executive director of the nonprofit Center for Popular Democracy Action, told Flake. "I told the story of my sexual assault. I told it because I recognized in Dr. Ford's story that she is telling the truth. What you are doing is allowing someone who actually violated a woman to sit on the Supreme Court."
Archila, 39, appeared to block the Arizona senator from closing the elevator door.
Then Gallagher said: "I was sexually assaulted and nobody believed me. I didn't tell anyone, and you're telling all women that they don't matter, that they should just stay quiet because if they tell you what happened to them you are going to ignore them."
"That's what happened to me, and that's what you are telling all women in America, that they don't matter," she said through tears.
She begged Flake to look her in the eye. She said: "Don't look away from me."
Flake, cornered in the elevator, shifted between looking at them and looking down. He said, "Thank you," but didn't response to questions on whether he believed Ford's testimony.
When a reporter asked whether he wanted to respond to the women's questions, he said no.
"I need to go to the hearing. I just issued a statement. I'll be saying more as well," he said.
The elevator doors closed. A committee vote was set for 1:30 p.m. on whether to recommend Kavanaugh's confirmation to the full Senate.
The women do not identify themselves in the video, but Archila's group sent a press release following the confrontation confirming it was Archila speaking on camera. Gallagher confirmed via phone to the AP it was her, and she consented to the use of her name.
The AP does not usually name people who say they are victims of sexual assault unless they come forward publicly about the allegations, as these women have done.
Speaking to AP by phone after the confrontation, Gallagher said she didn't intend to tell Flake about her assault — she had never told anyone before. "But I saw him, and I got really angry," she said.
She was in town as a volunteer with the liberal activist group Make the Road New York. She said she was on her way to talk with her family, because she worried they were seeing what happened to her in the news.
Archila said in an interview with AP that she was sexually assaulted when she was 5 years old by a teenager when she and her family lived in Colombia. She said she didn't tell anyone before this week, as she protested Kavanaugh's nomination.
"I had planned to just talk to him nicely, but once when I saw that he was voting for Kavanaugh my niceties went out the window," she said. "What are you doing to our country? You are sending the wrong message you're saying that all of us who put our pain to the world to confront don't matter."
Angry Kavanaugh denies Ford accusation, sees 'disgrace'
By LISA MASCARO, ALAN FRAM and LAURIE KELLMAN
Associated Press
Thursday, September 27
WASHINGTON (AP) — In a defiant and emotional bid to rescue his Supreme Court nomination, Brett Kavanaugh on Thursday denied allegations that he sexually assaulted Christine Blasey Ford when both were high school students and angrily told Congress that Democrats were engaged in "a calculated and orchestrated political hit."
"You have replaced 'advice and consent' with 'search and destroy," he told the Senate Judiciary Committee, referring to the Constitution's charge to senators' duties in confirming high officials.
He vowed to continue his effort to join the high court, to which President Donald Trump nominated him in July. Now a judge on the District of Columbia Circuit Court of Appeals, Kavanaugh seemed assured of confirmation until Ford and several other accusers emerged in recent weeks. He has denied all the accusations, but it remained unclear how the day's dramatic testimony by Ford and Kavanaugh would affect his prospects.
"You may defeat me in the final vote, but you'll never get me to quit, never," he said.
In a daylong, extraordinary Senate airing of long-ago and painfully personal memories, Ford told the senators earlier that she was "100 percent" certain a drunken young Kavanaugh had pinned her to a bed, tried to remove her clothes and clapped a hand over her mouth as she tried to yell for help. A Kavanaugh friend stood by and they both laughed uproariously during the incident, which occurred in a locked bedroom at a gathering of high school friends, she testified.
In her three hours of testimony, Ford's tone was polite but firm as she detailed her accusations but offered no major new revelations. Rachel Mitchell, a veteran sex crimes prosecutor from Arizona who asked all questions for the committee's all-male GOP senators, seemed to elicit no significant inconsistencies in her testimony.
But as deferential and hushed as Ford's delivery was, Kavanaugh's was incensed and combative. He repeatedly interrupted Democratic senators' questions, including on whether he'd support their bid for testimony by Mark Judge, the friend who Ford has claimed participated in Kavanaugh's attack on her.
When Sen. Richard Durbin, D-Ill., pressed him to request an FBI probe, Kavanaugh said he'd do whatever the committee wished and repeatedly refused to change that position. Trump and Republicans have refused to bring the FBI into the matter.
"I want to know what you want to do," Durbin said.
"I'm telling the truth," said Kavanaugh.
"I want to know what you want to do, judge!" Durbin repeated.
"I'm innocent. I'm innocent of this charge," Kavanaugh said.
The emotional tone continued as Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., one of Kavanaugh's strongest backers, lashed out at Democrats.
"What you want to do is destroy this guy's life, hold his seat open and hope you win in 2020," he said, referring to that year's presidential election.
Both Kavanaugh and Ford testified under sworn oath, leaving senators who will decide his fate and millions of Americans watching television to parse whose version to believe.
A White House official not authorized to speak publicly described Kavanaugh's opening statement as "game changing," saying the vigorous display would give GOP senators what they need to vote "yes." The official said aides understood that Trump was reacting positively to the performance.
Kavanaugh, 53, struggled to hold back tears, particularly when he referred to his own family.
Asked about drinking in high school, he said he had, sometimes to excess. "I like beer," he said, but he also said he'd never passed out and never attacked Ford. "I have never done this to her or to anyone," he said.
During Kavanaugh's 45-minute opening statement, senators watched intently, the only sound the clicking of cameras. In the front row, family and friends quietly cried including his wife, Ashley, whose lips were trembling.
Among the television viewers on Thursday was Trump, who has mocked the credibility of Kavanaugh's accusers. The president watched aboard Air Force One as he returned to Washington from the United Nations, said White House spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders.
After Ford's testimony, some Republicans gave no indications of wavering.
"You need more than an accusation for evidence. You need corroboration. That's what's missing here," said No. 2 Senate GOP leader John Cornyn of Texas.
But Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, said of Ford, "She's a good witness. She's articulate, an attractive person."
During her testimony, Ford, now 51, said of Kavanaugh, "I believed he was going to rape me."
Asked by Sen. Patrick Leahy of Vermont for her strongest memory of the alleged incident, Ford mentioned the two boys' "laughter — the uproarious laughter between the two and they're having fun at my expense."
When the committee's top Democrat, Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California, asked how she could be sure that Kavanaugh was the attacker, Ford said, "The same way I'm sure I'm talking to you right now." Later, she told Durbin her certainty was "100 percent."
The California psychology professor spoke carefully and deliberately during the hearing, using scientific terminology at one point to describe how a brain might remember details of events decades later. The boys' laughter was "indelible in the hippocampus," she said, using her scientific expertise to describe how memories are stored in the brain and adding, "It's locked in there."
The Judiciary panel's 11 Republicans — all men — let Rachel Mitchell, a Phoenix prosecutor, ask most questions. She began by expressing sympathy for Ford, who'd said she was "terrified" to testify. Said Mitchell, "I just wanted to let you know, I'm very sorry. That's not right."
Mitchell led Ford through a detailed recollection of the events she says occurred on the day of the alleged incident. But under the committee's procedures, the career prosecutor was limited to five minutes at a time, interspersed between Democrats' questions, creating a choppy effect as she tried piecing together the story.
Mitchell's questions steered clear of the details of the alleged assault and focused at times on whether Ford was coordinating with Kavanaugh opponents. Mitchell asked who was financing her legal and security expenses. Ford responded that she had gotten help from well-to-do people back home and was aware of public contributions at the website GoFundMe.com but also said she'd not focused on such matters amid her family's recent moves due to threats.
Kavanaugh's teetering grasp on winning confirmation was evident when Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, expressed concern, in a private meeting with senators Wednesday, about a new, third accuser, according to a person with knowledge of the gathering. Republicans control the Senate 51-49 and can lose only one vote. Collins is among the few senators who've not made clear how they'll vote.
Collins walked into that meeting carrying a copy of Julie Swetnick's signed declaration, which included fresh accusations of sexual misconduct against Kavanaugh and his high school friend Judge.
Republicans are pushing to seat Kavanaugh before the November midterms, when Senate control could fall to the Democrats and a replacement Trump nominee could have even greater difficulty.
In a sworn statement, Swetnick said she witnessed Kavanaugh "consistently engage in excessive drinking and inappropriate contact of a sexual nature with women in the early 1980s." Her attorney, Michael Avenatti, who also represents a porn actress who is suing Trump, provided her sworn declaration to the Judiciary panel.
Meanwhile, the lawyer for Deborah Ramirez, who says Kavanaugh exposed himself to her at a party when they attended Yale University, raised her profile in a round of television interviews.
Kavanaugh referred repeatedly Thursday to detailed calendar pages he had provided from the summer of 1982 when he was 17 years old — exams, movies, sports and plenty of parties. That's the year when Ford says she believes the assault occurred.
Nothing on the calendar appears to refer to her.

'Tough job' for veteran prosecutor who questioned Ford
By MARK SHERMAN
Associated Press
Thursday, September 27
WASHINGTON (AP) — Arizona sex crimes prosecutor Rachel Mitchell was a long way from the familiarity of a Phoenix courtroom when she questioned Christine Blasey Ford on Thursday in a televised hearing that could determine the fate of Judge Brett Kavanaugh's nomination to the Supreme Court.
Mitchell typically tries to put people accused of sex crimes in prison, but on Thursday she was in the unusual and difficult position of trying to chip away at the credibility of a woman who claims she was a victim of sexual assault by Kavanaugh when they were teenagers.
And she was doing it on behalf of the 11 Republican men on the Senate Judiciary Committee who preferred not to question Ford themselves, and in the glare of television lights and with a strict five-minute time limit that seemed to get in her way repeatedly.
As her time for questioning Ford was coming to an end, Mitchell herself seemed to give voice to her exasperation with her task when she rhetorically asked Ford about the best way to question victims of sex crimes.
"Would you believe me that no study says that this setting in five-minute increments is the way to do that?" Mitchell asked.
With Ford done for the day and Kavanaugh in the witness chair, at least some Republicans took matters in their own hands. Sens. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and John Cornyn of Texas sidelined Mitchell and asked their own questions.
One Democratic senator, a former prosecutor who is not on the committee, said Mitchell had a "tough job."
Sen. Claire McCaskill of Missouri said, "I can't imagine doing either a direct examination or a cross-examination in five-minute increments. And she's not used to cross-examining people who are telling the truth."
In her very first exchange with Ford, Mitchell began by expressing sympathy for Ford, who said she was "terrified" to testify, saying, "I just wanted to let you know, I'm very sorry. That's not right." But then she turned to her task, asking a series of small questions about the accuracy of statements Ford made.
In a trial, the answers to those questions can help lawyers paint a picture of a witness as unreliable. But in the Senate hearing room, Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley cut in to say her time was up and it was now the Democrats' turn to ask questions. The questioning moved on to Sen. Dianne Feinstein.
The scene repeated itself throughout the day. An experienced prosecutor, Mitchell does not operate under time constraints when she questions witnesses in a courtroom.
The tenor of the questions suggested that Mitchell was trying, if gently, to question the reliability of Ford's recollections and portray Ford as a pawn of Democrats who are out to stop Kavanaugh at any cost.
In one example, Mitchell pointed out that Ford did not mention Kavanaugh's name as her attacker between 1982, when the event allegedly took place, and 2012, when she was in couples therapy with her husband. Mitchell also asked Ford why she only contacted Democratic lawmakers about her allegation.
Ford replied that she contacted her representative in Congress, Rep. Anna Eshoo, a Democrat, and that Eshoo recommended contacting Feinstein, a California senator and the ranking Democrat on the Judiciary Committee.
Later, Mitchell pressed Ford repeatedly to reveal who paid for a polygraph exam that Ford took in the late summer. One of her lawyers, Debra Katz, interjected, "Let me put an end to the mystery. Her lawyers paid for the polygraph."
The questions about the polygraph also illustrated that Mitchell had little time and no prior access to Ford, which might have allowed her to avoid asking questions where the answers hardly undermined Ford as a witness.
When Mitchell asked why the polygraph was done near a Washington-area airport, Ford replied that it was to accommodate her as she headed to her grandmother's funeral.
Mechanics of memory: Experts say Ford mostly got it right
By MALCOLM RITTER
AP Science Writer
Thursday, September 27
NEW YORK (AP) — In her testimony to a Senate committee, the woman who accused Brett Kavanaugh of sexually assaulting her when they were teenagers dipped briefly into the mechanics of memory. Experts say she got it pretty much right.
When asked Thursday how she could be sure it was Kavanaugh who put a hand over her mouth to keep her quiet, psychologist Christine Blasey Ford cited levels of chemical messengers called norepinephrine and epinephrine in her brain at the time of the alleged attack.
She said those chemicals helped encode memories in a brain region called the hippocampus, so that the main memory was "locked there" while other details "kind of drift."
Later, she said a memory of Kavanaugh and another teen laughing during the assault was "indelible in the hippocampus."
Memories are not highly detailed recordings of events retrieved with perfect accuracy. They are shaped by beliefs and expectations. For that reason, experts told The Associated Press last week that both Ford and Kavanaugh, who denies that any assault happened, may both firmly believe what they say.
Which one believes his or her version more strongly is no tipoff to what really happened, experts say.
"Confidence is not a good guide to whether or not someone is telling the truth," said Nora Newcombe, a psychology professor at Temple University in Philadelphia. "If they think they're telling the truth, they could plausibly both be confident about it."
In a situation where a woman fears being raped by a man, her memories might be shaped by that fear into a recollection that overestimates the threat, whereas the man might consider it "just playing around" and forget it, said David Rubin, a professor of psychology and neuroscience at Duke University.
And both people could be completely honest about their recollections, he said.
Rubin noted the obvious fact that people can forget things they did while drunk. But he said the man in that scenario could forget about the event even if he had been sober.
Experts in memory and the brain said Ford's quick tour of memory machinery was generally correct. Levels of the brain substances she cited go up when a person is alarmed, and they help memories become laid down more strongly in the hippocampus, said Elizabeth Phelps, a Harvard University psychologist.
That helps people vividly recall central parts of an emotional experience, while details are typically lost, said Lila Davachi of Columbia University.
While it's clear the hippocampus is key to the initial laying down of memory, there's some debate about its role in long-term memory, Phelps said. Various pieces of an experience — sounds, sights and thoughts — are perceived in different parts of the brain. And initially the hippocampus serves as sort of the center of a web that holds those perceptions together as a memory, she said.
After years pass and the memory becomes consolidated, it's not clear whether the hippocampus continues to play that central role, or whether the various parts of a memory are connected by other means, she said.

'They were laughing': Ford says her attacker was Kavanaugh
By LAURIE KELLMAN
Associated Press
Thursday, September 27
WASHINGTON (AP) — Indelible.
That's the way Christine Blasey Ford described the details of what she says was a sexual assault by Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, on a summer evening three decades ago. Asked for the most vivid memory from that night, she did not name a physical violation. Rather, it was a specific sound she heard Kavanaugh and the other boy she says was in the room, Mark Judge.
"Laughter — the uproarious laughter between the two," Ford, her voice wavering, told the Senate Judiciary Committee at Thursday's extraordinary hearing. "They were laughing with each other. … I was underneath one of them while the two laughed."
The moment crystallized the national debate over gender, power and whom to believe in the #Metoo era under President Donald Trump. Thursday's hearing in many ways turned on Ford's credibility as a victim of and a witness to an event that Kavanaugh staunchly denies. Central to the proceedings was the quality of Ford's memory and whether her account was believable, an unknown when she took her seat at the cramped witness table before the 21-member Senate Judiciary Committee.
With the hearing well under way, Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., asked her what she remembered.
"What is the strongest memory you have, the strongest memory of the incident, something you cannot forget?" Leahy asked as Ford took a sip of coffee. "Take whatever time you need."
Ford, a 51-year-old psychology professor, looked down and took a breath.
"Indelible in the hippocampus is the laughter," said Ford, referring to the area of the brain where traumatic memories are stored. "The uproarious laughter between the two and they're having fun at my expense," she said, her voice quaking. She looked down again.
"You've never forgotten that laughter, you never forgotten them laughing at you?" Leahy asked.
"They were laughing with each other," Ford replied.
"And you were the object of the laughter?" Leahy pressed.
"I was, you know, underneath one of them while the two laughed," she said.
The spectacle riveted Washington and much of the nation. The U.S. Capitol was hushed, as senators and aides huddled in offices, watching. The hearing, played on televisions, rang through the West Wing of the White House as Trump flew back from New York — with the televisions on Air Force One tuned to the proceedings. Back in Washington, the president cancelled a meeting with Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and was expected to continue watching, aides said.
Kavanaugh himself has explicitly said he is not questioning whether Ford had been attacked "by someone, at some point." But he says he's not the one who attacked her. He told at least one senator that it may have been a case of mistaken identity. Republicans on the Judiciary Committee released a document detailing their investigative work that showed they had interviewed two separate men who said they believed that they, not Judge Kavanaugh, assaulted Ford.
Republican Sen. Orrin Hatch of Utah told CNN, "Somebody's mixed up."
But with an eager-to-please demeanor and zero show of anger during the questioning, Ford stuck by her account. It was true, she said, that there were gaps in her memory of that night in the early 1980s — she could not recall which boy pushed her into the room, or how she got home.
But the laughter, and the identity of her attacker, Ford said, remained crystal clear.
"Absolutely," Ford said, later adding, "100 percent."

I ran into a lady name of ******* who keeps a couple of large greenhouses in Washington on the Olympic Peninsula at the amazing Glass Flowers exhibit in Harvard's Museum of Natural History last Friday. Of course we got to discussing interesting plants to grow, and because we were standing in front of the ...
... carnivorous plants, the discussion turned to CPs.
I'll leave out the boring details, but the one thing that came up that i have to ask the forum is regarding the original extent of the VFT habitat. She asserted that the VFT was native to the Olympic Peninsula (i believe that was it - somewhere in Washington, at least) as well as the Carolinas. Now, i know what i've read, and i've read it a lot of places, and i told her so myself: the VFT is native to just the Carolinas. She replied again that it was in Washington as well. I asked if perhaps it was naturalized there, and she said that it was indigenous to the area. So, has anybody heard of this before? I am inclined to disbelieve, but she seemed to know a lot about the other topics we discussed, so i'm willing to give her story a chance.
