Our lab conducts studies related to discourse of adult populations, including individuals with aphasia as well as the normal aging population.
The populations studied represent groups of African Americans, Hispanic Americans, Caucasian Americans, Filipino Americans and Asian Indian Americans.
Within these groups, special emphasis is placed on identifying cultural differences as revealed by the themes and structural features of language.
In aphasia discourse, studies document both preservations and disruptions of language. The primary focus of discourse is narrative stroke stories as a component of the field of narrative medicine concerned with improvement in doctor-patient communication.

Chris Johnson is in Nashville, Tenn., today for a face-to-face meeting with Titans general manager Ruston Webster, NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reported Thursday night.
Tennessee is expected to release its star running back shortly thereafter, per Rapoport.
Once Johnson hits the open market, look for the Giants and Cowboys to join the Jets in kicking his tires.
Although the Jets' interest is widely known, FOX Sports' Mike Garofolo reports the Cowboys and Giants also were among the teams that have inquired since Johnson hit the trade block early last month.
The Jets and Cowboys -- leading Around The League's list of CJ2K's potential landing spots -- likely will be the most ardent suitors.
The Giants already have added former Raiders running back Rashad Jennings, and coach Tom Coughlin is "counting on" 2012 first-round draft pick David Wilson contributing this season.
Since the Jets have the second-most salary-cap space of any NFL team, they will have the upper hand if the bidding for Johnson goes well over the going rate of $3 million annually for veteran running backs.
The latest "Around The League Podcast" welcomes NFL Media's Jeff Darlington to the studio, reacts to the DeSean Jackson signing and discusses big-name veterans still looking for new teams.

After losing more than 80 pounds and radically transforming my health, I am discovering that I now have the ability to achieve things I would never have imagined possible.
When I ran the NYC marathon last year, it was my way of paying back all of the people who invested their time and talents in educating me about the joys and the benefits of proper nutrition. Not only did I surpass my own expectations by reaching my goal of completing the marathon, I raised over $40,000 for two amazing children's charities in the process. Check out some of the incredible kids I ran for last year, who will be using the money we raised to continue their nutritional educations.
This year I'm setting my sights even higher. Instead of running, I am forming a team to help me raise $60,000 for charity - and I need your help.
I'm recruiting 10 runners to run the 2011 NYC marathon and raise $6,000 each for the 15 Foundation. These 10 runners will receive officialslots in the marathon and join me for an exclusive pre-race dinner in New York sometime. If you want one of these slots, please email firstname.lastname@example.com right away as we expect them to go fast!
Please be aware that if you already have a slot in the marathon or if you just want to help us fundraise you can click Join the Team and get started. But only the first 10 people who commit to raising $6k each will get the official slots and attend the pre-marathon dinner.
Welcome to my team!
The 15 Foundation's main focus is access to education for children. We partner with non profit organizations nationwide to provide funding for innovative, transformational educational opportunities that prepare underserved students for success in school and beyond.
The 15 Foundation also helps bring families and children together around delicious, fresh food while positively impacting their health and well-being. We offer schools, community-based groups, and other organizations field-tested programs that teach nutrition through cooking.
Click the "Donate" button above to support these amazing programs or go even one step further and click "Join The Team." Once you join the team, you'll have a project page, just like mine that you can share with your friends and family to help spread the word.

A new Buzz start-up experience based on your feedback
We've heard your feedback loud and clear, and since we launched Google Buzz four days ago, we've been working around the clock to address the concerns you've raised. Today, we wanted to let you know about a number of changes we'll be making over the next few days based on all the feedback we've received.
First, auto-following. With Google Buzz, we wanted to make the getting started experience as quick and easy as possible, so that you wouldn't have to manually peck out your social network from scratch. However, many people just wanted to check out Buzz and see if it would be useful to them, and were not happy that they were already set up to follow people. This created a great deal of concern and led people to think that Buzz had automatically displayed the people they were following to the world before they created a profile.
On Thursday, after hearing that people thought the checkbox for choosing not to display this information publicly was too hard to find, we made this option more prominent. But that was clearly not enough. So starting this week, instead of an auto-follow model in which Buzz automatically sets you up to follow the people you email and chat with most, we're moving to an auto-suggest model. You won't be set up to follow anyone until you have reviewed the suggestions and clicked "Follow selected people and start using Buzz."
For the tens of millions of you who have already started using Buzz, over the next couple weeks we'll be showing you a similar version of this new start-up experience to give you a second chance to review and confirm the people you're following. If you want to review this list now, just go to the Buzz tab, click "Following XX people" and unfollow anyone you wish. If you don't want to share the lists of people who are following you and people you are following publicly on your profile, you can opt out at any time from the edit profile page.
Second, Buzz will no longer connect your public Picasa Web Albums and Google Reader shared items automatically. Just to be clear: Buzz only automatically connected content that was already public, so if you had previously shared photos in an "Unlisted" album or set your Google Reader shared items as "Protected," no one except the people you'd explicitly allowed to see your stuff has been able to see it. But due to your feedback Buzz will no longer connect these sites automatically.
Third, we're adding a Buzz tab to Gmail Settings. From there, you'll be able to hide Buzz from Gmail or disable it completely. In addition, there will be a link to these settings from the initial start-up page so you can easily decide from the get go that you don't want to use Buzz at all.
It's been an exciting and challenging week for the Buzz team. We've been getting feedback via the Gmail help forums and emails from friends and family, and we've also been able to do something new: read the buzz about Buzz itself. We quickly realized that we didn't get everything quite right. We're very sorry for the concern we've caused and have been working hard ever since to improve things based on your feedback. We'll continue to do so.
Update (2/18): These changes are now live with the exception of the similar version of the start-up experience for those of you who are already using Buzz.

I've seen New Yorkers transform tiny spaces into fantastic little viewscapes, style their front stoop like nobody's business and turn windowboxes into stylish home accessories. In the process- they dress up and enhance daily life for themselves and their neighbors!
Now I want to show you how to style your unique urban outdoor spaces too--something I call "cityscaping". From rooftop terraces, to townhouse gardens, to the perfect pot for your windowsill or entryway— you can cityscape, with sophistication and creativity. In fact, as a stylish urban dweller, it's incumbent upon you to style your interior and exterior spaces to reflect you and your fashionable garden lifestyle.
Just like you design your home by selecting paints, fabrics, furniture and art, and just like you design and style yourself, through fashion and beauty choices, cityscaping is an important design priority that completes your quality of city life.
To get you started, I'm designing a line of planters and outdoor products exclusively for urban spaces. This will give both casual and dedicated urban gardeners a chance to bring color, function and pizzazz to their urban outdoor spaces.
Start looking at the untapped spaces all around you, because it's time to
dress up your cityscape!

The Denver International Airport is located about 35 miles from the city's downtown by car, shuttle bus, taxi, or public transportation. Avoid hiring a taxi, as rates in this city are quite high and other great options exist. Additionally, most of Denver's major hotels offer a complimentary airport shuttle to help you begin your vacation just after touchdown.
If you are looking to enjoy more of Denver's exciting naturescapes, think car rental. Nationally recognized rental companies, including Advantage, Alamo, Avis, Budget, and more, are located at the airport's Jeppesen Terminal. At this same terminal you can also opt to hop on the city's bus system with direct connections into the downtown. Denver's downtown and major suburbs are also serviced by an excellent interconnected and easily navigable train system.
The best time to visit Denver depends entirely on your style. If you love festivals, music, beer, and the arts, visit Denver in the summer months between June and September. This is when the city's most popular events, such as the Cherry Creek Arts Festival and A Taste of Colorado, are in full swing. If, however, you're more into the possibilities the nearby Rocky Mountain slopes offer, the winter months between November and March may be your ideal time. This is when frequent snow storms provide the perfect setup for skiers and snowboarders.
If you want to be right in the middle of the action, stay at the Hampton Inn & Suites Denver Downtown Convention Center. This chic hotel is a five-minute walk from the Colorado Convention Center, a 10-minute walk from the famed Denver Art Museum, and less than 1.5 miles from Coors Field, home of the beloved Colorado Rockies. Spacious guest rooms include a microwave, fridge, and free Wi-Fi.
If you want to be a bit closer to the Denver International Airport, book a night at the Best Western Plus Denver International Airport Hotel. Accommodations include a complimentary airport shuttle, 24-hour exercise facility, seasonal outdoor heated pool, and a full-service business center and meeting facility. You'll feel right at home in newly renovated guest rooms offering pletny of comfort amenities, including a flat screen television and an abundance of soft down pillows.
To experience a luxurious stay on a budget, check in at the Embassy Suites Denver-Downtown. This all-suite hotel is perfect for business and group travelers. Enjoy 14 flexible on-site meeting venues, cooked-to-order breakfasts, and indoor swimming pool.
Denver is a major hub for many of the nation's largest airlines. It's the largest hub for Frontier Airlines, the fourth-largest for United Airlines, and the fifth-largest for Southwest Airlines*. Together, these three airlines controlled over 80 percent of all passenger traffic in 2012. In fact, it is one of the busiest airports in the world by both passenger traffic and aircraft movement. If you are looking to book a flight, use Hipmunk's robust search engine to find the quickest flight at the best rate for your upcoming trip to Denver.
The top three busiest domestic routes from Denver are Phenix, AZ (approximately 1 hour 50 minutes), Los Angeles, CA (approximately 2 hours 15 minutes), and Las Vegas, NV (approximately 1 hour 50 minutes). The top three busiest international routes from Denver are Cancun, Mexico (approximately 3 hours 55 minutes), Calgary, Canada (approximately 2 hours 30 minutes), and Toronto (at Pearson), Canada (approximately 3 hours 20 minutes).
It's exhausting to search multiple websites, scouring the Internet for the best deal on cheap and affordable flights to Denver. Hipmunk strives to take the aggravation away by aggregating the results of the highest ranked airfare sites and presenting them in a centralized and user-intuitive format. This is designed to give you confidence in finding great individual results in the quickest time possible.

Last Friday we had "National Beer Day," and now we're back with a whole new holiday! Per the Cellar Blog:
"For ages, the tradition of brewing sake has started in the fall with new sakes being released the following spring. The timing is right for the rice harvest and allows for brewing to take place during the cooler fall and winter months. Over a century ago, October 1st was designated the "Nihonshu no Hi" or "Day of Sake" to mark the new year in sake production."

If you are not familiar with the series, it revolves around world-traveling archeologist Annja Creed, who also just happens to be the bearer of the mystical sword that once belonged to Joan of Arc. Of course her need to wield the sword in defense of the innocent and just gets her into all sorts of trouble... In The Spirit Banner, Annja goes after a major archeological find - the lost tomb of Genghis Khan.Joe Nassise is the author of several novels, including two previous Rogue Angel titles THE LOST TOMB and YIN & YANG, the internationally bestselling Templar Chronicles trilogy (HERETIC, A SCREAM OF ANGELS, A TEAR IN THE SKY) , as well as a fiction collection (SPECTRES AND DARKNESS) and assorted short stories found in such works as MASQUES V, CHTHULIAN SINGULARITY, and LOST ON THE DARKSIDE.
You can visit Joe at his website here or check out his posts at the Genreality blog where he hangs out with Alison Kent, Carrie Vaughn, Lynn Viehl, Sasha White and Jason Pinter.
The archeological find of the century…or a con?
Genghis Khan carved out a legacy of bloodshed and conquered kingdoms that has lasted almost eight hundred years. But while his name and deeds live on in the annals of history, his tomb has never been located…until now.
Not everyone is convinced that the diary and the map, said to lead to the great warrior's resting place, are authentic. Archeologist Annja Creed is among the doubters. The reality is that the body was lost to history. But despite her skepticism, Annja suddenly finds herself pulled along an increasingly complex trail of clues, each one more remote than the last.
And as she and her companions race to their final destination, one thing is clear - the only tomb she may find is her own…

In this question, I included a lot of detail that turned out to be unnecessary and misguided.
The first responder helped me realize that I was over-thinking the problem, and I accepted his answer.
I think the question might have value for others, but only if I completely rewrite it without all the extra garbage I included originally. The edits would amount to essentially a complete rewrite and might make the responses appear out of context.
Is it acceptable to totally overhaul a question after accepting an answer?
Note: I found a possible duplicate after posting, although my issue is more about fixing a question vs. improving it. I'm open to deleting this question if appropriate.

Within the 21st century (which is to say going back to 2001), we've seen the release of some horror movies that are guaranteed to be considered classics in the long run, and we've decided to take a look back by ranking them.

The 10 Best Movie Music Moments Of 2013
Last year was a pretty fantastic one for movie music. Directors like David O. Russell, Wes Anderson, Quentin Tarantino and Ben Affleck made not only fantastic films, but also beautifully crafted soundtracks that blended perfectly with the story and visuals on screen. As a result, 2013 had a lot to live up to, but looking back on the last twelve months reveals that this year's crop of filmmakers were more than up for the task.

The Best Movies Of 2013 So Far
We're almost halfway through July-- I know, right?-- and just past the midway point of the year, which means that we're also almost done with summer movie season. The blockbusters are petering out, the dregs of summer are appearing on the horizon (sorry, R.I.P.D.) and the really great movies of fall feel so far away. So why not take this moment to look back over the year so far, and pick out the movies that we actually did love?

Stoker Teases With Disturbing New Trailer As Film Plays Sundance
Over the weekend, celebrated South Korean director Kim Jee-woon transitioned to the States for the Hollywood genre thriller The Last Stand with Arnold Schwarzenegger after earning a cult following with I Saw the Devil and The Good, the Bad and the Weird. The movie tanked. Now our eyes are turning to Park Chan-wook, director of Oldboy and Thirst who is dipping his toe into the U.S. pool with Stoker, and early reviews are off-the-charts good.

But then you get to the bottom of the poster. And then you look at Waskiowska's hand. And then you realized something very fucked up is going on behind this picture.

KABUL, Afghanistan -- The Taliban Wednesday likened the planned withdrawal of U.S. forces from Afghanistan to America's pullout from Vietnam, calling it a "declare victory and run" strategy.
A statement from the militant group said the ongoing transfer of security operations from U.S. troops to Afghan forces was merely a retreat similar to the American withdrawal from South Vietnam prior to the communist victory there in 1975.
American-led NATO troops are scheduled to pull out of Afghanistan by the end of 2014, although the U.S. will leave a residual force behind and other NATO countries have pledged continuing support of the Kabul government.
"They want to flee from Afghanistan just as they turned tail and ran from Vietnam," the Taliban statement said. "When America faced utter destruction in Vietnam, they came up with the formula `declare victory and run' and want to utilize the formula of `transfer security and run' here in Afghanistan."
The United States withdrew its combat troops from South Vietnam in 1973, leaving South Vietnamese forces to face the North Vietnamese and Viet Cong who marched into the capital, Saigon, two years later.

Jewish Pastries
Pastry appetizers are special treats for Jewish holidays and other festive occasions. These Jewish pastries can be either sweet or savory, depending on the pastry filling. Each Jewish community has developed their own pastry favorites:
Piroshki: Jews from Russia make these yeast-risen pastries, which may be fried or baked.
Cigars: The Moroccan Jewish tradition includes this rolled fried pastry.
Bourekas: A specialty of Jews originating in the eastern Mediterranean, these triangular or half-moon shaped pastries may be made of flaky filo dough, pie dough, or puff pastry and usually are sprinkled with sesame seeds before they go into the oven. Spinach, cheese, and potato are the most popular fillings.
Knishes: From Eastern Europe come these savory pastries filled with meat, potato, or kasha (buckwheat groats). The dough resembles pie dough, and the typical form is pillow-shaped, although a standard turnover shape is also common.
Usually, knish pastry is less flaky than bourekas pastry.

Skip to comments.Ambassador Anna Wintour? (to the court of St. James) Yikes
Posted on 12/11/2012 10:44:33 AM PST by drewh
Its been 200 years since the United States kicked off a shooting war with Great Britain, but that nation may be wondering if were looking to start another scrap.
What else could be signified by rumors that Vogue editor Anna Wintour could be our next ambassador to the Court of St. Jamess?
One can only imagine befuddled, monocled British public servants on the phone with the White House: Dear Lord, is it something we said?
Wintour is most famous for a fictional film depiction of her life, The Devil Wears Prada, in which she was ... the devil. She insists on sitting separately from other journalists at fashion shows. She cannot bear to be at parties for more than 20 minutes. Its said her employees are not allowed to ride elevators with her, or start conversations.
As for tact, Wintour once said of Minneapolis, she could only kindly describe most of the people I saw as little houses. I hope Londoners are getting plenty of exercise, and laying off the bangers and mash.
If these jobs matter so little that they can be handed to whoever can corral the most cash, they dont need to exist. They shouldnt go to people famous for an inability to play well with others.
If you can enrage Minnesotans, we dont need you representing the United States on the world stage.
(Excerpt) Read more at savannahnow.com ...
OB not done insulting the evil, imperialist, colonial power.
She would fit in pefectly in Paris, that's most likely where she should go.
Please, Brits, forgive us.
We are right in the middle of a real life episode of "Idiocracy".
One would have to add up at least the top 100 of the occupants of the White House in order to reach room temp IQ.
Don't worry about a conflict with us.
The Obamadork is doing a good job of generating a conflict with the population that will gestate in the not too distant future.
Can we get the guy that played John Adams in the TV movie? He technically has more experience at the job then the *sigh* editor of a magazine.
Isn't England allowed only one Queen?
Open a consulate in Milan so she can get lost in the fashion world and not do anything harmful.
Moochelle ma belle wants this to happen apparently, (so her boffo pr campaign can continue) France seems like the betting favorite.
Thanks for the clarification. I kept seeing these articles mentioning "Anna Wintour". Not knowing who (what?) she is, I had paid no attention.
Now that I've read this post, I'd say that appointing her as ambassador to Great Britain would be proof-positive that the current occupant of the White House is a certifiable maniac.
How much does Obama hate England? First, he sends Churchill's bust back in a box. Then, he insults the Queen by giving her an iPod filled with his horrible speeches. Now, he seems about to appoint as Ambassador a woman who has a well-deserved reputation as being a Psycho Bitch from Hell. Nice.
If naming Anna Wintour Ambassador to a major ally is like Caligula making his horse a Senator, then Obama has made at least 25 horses Senators over the past four years.
In fact, I can't think of a single major appointment of his that makes any sense.
0bama is not stupid, nor is he irrational. 0bama is evil and fairly clever.
0bama's purpose is to diminish, denigrate, or destroy these United States of America at every turn, in every way, and by any means necessary. 0bama's goal is to reduce these United States to a world status below that of his beloved, native Kenya.
If you view his appointments, his policy decisions, his executive orders, and his proposed legislation in that light, I believe that you will find everything he does to be completely sensible ... and completely evil.
Ah, Joe Kennedy, I could go on and on about him...
Oh, yes, I agree. Hillary clinton as Sec of State. She is entirely unqualified, having never done a day's work in her life—except the Whitewater scam. But she's a Muslim-loving Communist, so that suits her find.
Or Sebelius, a big-time baby-killer, to preside over "health."
Or a Communist traitor as Defense Secretary.
Or a nutball as head of the EPA.
None of them is qualified—except to undermine and wreck whatever they've been put in charge of.
Edna Mode is an "homage" to Edith Head.
"Hey Queen, you are wearing that boob belt wrong.
I will send you the proper ambassador"
More Hussein corruption.

Subscribe To Valve Wins Against VZBV, No Pre-Owned Games For Steam Updates
I've already subscribed
The VZBV have had it out for Valve; the consumer rights group has been tracking closely the intentions and motivations of Valve and Steam. After the amendment of the subscriber agreement two years ago, the VZBV went full-in on getting Valve to adopt more consumer-friendly ways when it comes to digital game resale and ownership trading.
MCV received updated word on the legal case between the VZBV and Valve in the German court of law, and it looks like pre-owned game trading won't be coming to Steam.
According to law firm Osborne Clark, they offered a summary of the case, stating...
"German consumer watchdog group Verbraucherzentrale Bundesverband argued that if copyright law, through the doctrine of exhaustion, allowed the resale of used computer game DVDs, then a clause in a standard contract restricting the transfer of the online account necessary to play the game was at odds with the basic principles of statutory law and therefore unreasonable, abusive and, ultimately, unenforceable,"
This probably comes as a blow to a bunch of gamers looking to remove game licenses from their library in hopes of exchanging them for another game or some small monetary gain through Steam.
Digital resale could have worked, however it's not a feature that Valve wants to put on the table and it's something the VZBV badly wanted to get worked into the infrastructure of Steam's storefront.
The VZBV had hoped to gamers would be able to sell digital titles to others, but that was squashed in court, as mentioned by Clark. The firm went on to say that...
"Even as far as physically distributed games are concerned, and the doctrine of exhaustion must indubitably be applied, the court seems to agree with the BGH that the doctrine of exhaustion does not render the no-transfer clauses in Valve's terms of service unenforceable.
It does, in a way, make sense. Albeit, it's a sensible method for corporations that protects IP at the expense of the consumer. It's understandable that copyright is protected under non-transferable license services such as Steam or GamersGate or Origin, but at the same time a user is subjugated to the restrictions of what content ownership (or lack thereof) is presented by the service agreement.
In the end, gamers will just have to hope that Steam doesn't die in the long run, and will have to continue to buy and gift games to friends as far as content transfers go.
I imagine this isn't the last time we'll see this scenario play out in a court room, and I doubt it's the last time we'll hear about a consumer rights group challenging the mechanism of transferring licenses between service users.

This question already has an answer here:
I would like to install AMD driver, however, I'm afraid because of past experiences after installing proprietary driver from Additional drivers. Everytime I installed be it ubuntu 11.04 or 12.04, After rebooting, I get a blank screen, and don't know how to get back.
Can anyone tell me, how to recover from a blank screen after installing AMD driver if i get so?

There were four ways to take the test. You could answer 9, 18, 27, or 45 questions. You were told that the more questions you answered, the more accurate the results. I took the long version.
My result...................
So far I have heard the following results
Lincoln - Jennifer (Whiskey Tango Foxtrot.........she is crazier and more belligerent than me!) and Barb
Hitler - Rachael in my office (lot's of laughs there)
Clinton - Pat in the office (I'd be offended, but she thinks it's funny)
Kennedy - WereKitten and her paramour (they tied it to sex and they're happy)
Ghandi - my boss, Bette and coworker Karen ("emaciated do-gooder", it fits)
Mother Theresa - Pat's sister Maryellen (she's delusional, Mother Theresa was not hypercritical and intolerant)
Einstein - Somebody over at WK's place got that, so I have no comment.
Saddam - Me (fits) SB (fits), Nicole in the office (fits) FbL (she's not happy)
So SB gets Saddam and beefs. I ask Jennifer to guess his result and she guesses Patton. Cripes, just what we need, someone feeding that ego!!!
************The troublemaker who started this couldn't post her comment (blogger gremlins?), so I get this email:
effing blogger...
I tried to post a comment on the dictator post:
*snicker*I'm surrounded by EEEEVIL DICKTATORS! (misspellings on purpose, mind you) Of course, the important thing you've overlooked is that Keith and I both came up as JFK, who "likes power because it increases sexual options"WOOT! LMAO... Hussein. You, FbL AND
SB? TOO funny

A seedy motel room, a tender pas de deux from The Royal Ballet's Sabina Westcombe and Tristan Dyer, and an impassioned cross-dressed channelling of the great Maria Callas – we've now released an extended version of our Summer Season film.
The trailer references the latest brochure cover image and was directed by Royal Opera House Audio-Visual Producer Tom Turner. Tom directed our Olympic-themed World Stage films and many of our production trailers, including Nabucco.
'The film is primarily about transposing the sensation experienced by the audience, dancers, singers and musicians during a performance', says Tom, 'it aims to bottle that feeling of being fully committed and lost in the moment.'
'I've tried to create a narrative that draws on the emotional connection performers and audience experience through our art forms. There is a sense of voyeurism in how we see this very intimate scene, in the same way artists and musicians deliver their heart and soul during a performance.'
The film was wholly created in house, drawing on the talent and resources within the Royal Opera House and filmed in one of The Royal Opera's cavernous rehearsal rooms.
What do you think of the film?

Brooklynn's First Trip to the Zoo!!Posted in on 3:19 PM by Samantha
Happy St. Patrick's Day! We spent ours at Zoo Atlanta! Thank you Nana and Kaleb for joining us on this first, and amzazing, trip to the zoo!! Thank goodness it didn't rain (after the news threatened it all week), for Friday night I told Brooklynn that we might not get to go to the zoo because it was going to rain and we'd have to go to Jump for Joey (inflatable play area) instead. She flat out told me, "No mommy, I want to go to the zoo and ride the train with Kaleb." Hahaha! I felt awful because we had hyped up the zoo all week, so I'm glad it ended up being a beautiful day!
Oh you should have heard Kaleb and Brooklynn in the car on the way to the zoo! The air was full of excitement as they sang and clapped and made up songs about going to the zoo! Renee and I got just excited as they were as we made our way to Zoo Atlanta. When we pulled into the parking lot they couldn't get out of the car fast enough. Our first stop after we made it through the gates was at the flamingo habitat. They were fascinated, and so was I since I had no idea that flamingos squaked! Oh, and Kaleb found a flamingo that only had one leg so we talked about how God made that flamingo special:).
The flamingo habitat:
This was my favorite part. The look on Brooklynn's face when she saw that elephant for the first time was awesome. She was fascinated and didnt' want to stop looking at it:
Next we went into the bird atrium and Brooklynn and Kaleb held tiny sticks with bird seeds stuck to them. The birds landed right next to us and they had so much fun feeding the birds! It was such a great experience:
Ofcourse we had to stop and stick our faces in the tiger photo display (how could we possible miss it??)! I love how Brooklynn stuck her hands by her face to hold on! I told Kaleb to give me his best tiger growl (he nailed it):
Our next stop was the lemur habitat and they were so cute! I couldn't get over how the sit just like little humans. It was quite exciting because we got to see one eat a carrot and then walk across the entire rope:
Next to the lemur's was another little atrium where we got to see more exotic birds and ducks. By the exhibit was a nest for photo taking and we ran into two couples that were from out of town that had Brooklynn and Kaleb flapping their arms and opening their mouths like baby birds! It was hilarious!
Another monkey exhibit was next:
So after all this monkey business Kaleb and Brooklynn just had to try to climb on the very next tree they came across! Poor little Brooklynn didn't find a tree as cool as Kaleb's so she threw a temper tantrum (this was right around her normal napping hour):
She ended up being okay with using the fence post as her tree:
After we went to the gorilla habitat we had to take a picture on the Willie B statue. This is one of my favorie pictures all day! They are so cute!
Checking out the otters (that you couldn't get a good look at since they were napping):
We told them to shake their bum bums, and ofcourse the accomodated our request:
The favorite habitat had to have been the orangatan (pretty sure I just slaughtered the spelling of that word, so my apologies). They were highly entertaining! Swinging and playing and hanging upsidedown! We laughed so hard at them!
Our next stop was the mole exhibit, which was incredibly uneventful since we saw zero moles. Hahaha! However, the kiddos got to play and go through the mole playground (where Brooklynn got halfway through one of the tunnels and freaked out):
From there we went to the reptile habitat, which was great because it was indoors and air conditioned!
Brooklynn did not get out of the stroller at all and was giving me quite a "tude" so I asked her to say cheese and give me her best grouch face:
Outside the reptile building they had two chairs with machined foot massagers! I thought that was a great idea, but I loved the artwork behind it more than the chairs:
The kimono dragon habitat (forced myself on them for some pictures):
Next was the panda area and we saw one big lazy panda! Haha! He was so cute!
One of the highlights of our trip was the petting zoo! I never realzied how much personality goats had! Brooklynn and Kaleb had so much fun petting and brushing them. The goat with his legs in the hay holder cracked me up! Even funnier was the goat that jumped up on the tree stump! Haha! I couldn't get over that!
They loved the kangaroos! They were lazy at first but ended up getting around and showing their jumping skills. Kaleb and Brooklynn laughed so hard watching them jump around:
Next we decided to ride on the carousel and Brooklynn absolutely loved it! We ended up riding on it four or five times:
One of the best parts of the day was getting to ride the train! Brooklynn loves trains and had so much fun riding through the park and waving at other kids. Renee and I loved the train because we got to sit down and relax! Hahaha!
Here are some of the sites we saw while riding on the train (check out the gigantic turtle):
After the train ride they wanted to play on the playground. The zoo has a fantastic playground for kids, and the see saw was the favorite!
Our last stop was the souvenir shop. Brooklynn cracked me up with the tiger hat!
We had such a wonderful experience at the zoo! I can't wait to go back! Brooklynn came home and passed out after such a long and fun day!

Today sees the release in the UK of the film Moneyball, by the makers of the Oscar winning film, The Social Network, and featuring Brad Pitt as another modern American hero, the Oakland A's general manager, Billy Beane.
It's based on the book of that name by Michael Lewis subtitled, The Art of Winning An Unfair Game and tells of Beane's attempt to put together a baseball club on a budget by employing sabermetrics, the analysis of in-game activity developed by Bill James.
James was a baseball tragic who looked long, hard and with fresh eyes at why baseball teams win and lose. His ideas were so 'left field' that he had to publish his own books in a bid to reach an audience.
Beane, who felt that in his own career his true talents and potential were never properly made use of was drawn to James' theories and insights which valued a player untraditionally, focusing on the players real contributions to winning and, importantly, not losing.
Rather than look at pitchers in the conventional way, he looked at which allowed runners to steal the most bases. Rather than concentrate on runs scored he concentrated on runs created.
His concept of the 'Range Factor' turned appreciation on its head from over-valuing attack to revaluing a player's defensive contributions.
His 'Defensive Efficiency Rating' showed the percentage of balls in play that a defense turns into an out. And his 'Pythagorean Winning Percentage' produced statistics explaining the relationship of wins and losses to runs scored and runs allowed.
Using sabermetrics, Beane was able to spend his pint-size budget signing players from the draft that the big teams were overlooking. The Oakland A's dominated baseball … until the big shots started using the same approach.
Perhaps the biggest lesson that cricket could take from James was his refocusing away from runs scored onto runs allowed.
As the motivation behind the organisation of cricket moved from gambling to Arnoldian Muscular Christianity and the virtues necessary for those capable of administering an Empire, the spot light, the laws and the glory were focused on the 'art' of batting – you know – bowling is indeed a manly activity but batting is gentlemanly.
Even the full professionalization of the game has never really exorcised that Ghost in the Game. Limited overs cricket has increased the appreciation of the value of fielding. Modern tail-enders who were once encouraged to have a swipe and make way for the main action are now expected to contribute runs.
But the glamour remains with the top order batsman. Sides must have six of them AND the keeper must be able to bat even if he misses the odd catch and is unlikely to stump an opponent unless trips over yards down the track.
Hardly fair?
Regular readers will know that Third Man, who started his days when the Squire and his fellows paid him to bowl at them on club practice nights at Hambledon and remembers, as if it was yesterday, the Varsity cricketers coming down in the summer and taking up the batting places in the precursor to the County Championship, is always vexed when the Man of the Match award goes to the batsman getting 174 out a total of 600 on a 'road', when a bowler in the same match who has taken ten wickets is left to enjoy a beer in the ice bath.
No one can deny that a 'fifer' is a tougher ask in Test cricket than a century, yet both secure a coveted place on the honour's board.
For many cricketers, it's an unfair game, where the opportunities and the subsequent rewards don't necessarily go to those most able to contribute to winning. In cricket, its Moneybat … until that is someone comes up with a formula for calculating the true worth of a player's contribution to winning.
Unless the Squire is planning economies among the staff at the Great House, this task may account for His recent preoccupation with a thick tome entitled, Human Resource Accounting.

Basically what we all knew already. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/44137555/ns ... tral_asia/
ISLAMABAD — Pakistan gave China access to the previously unknown "stealth" helicopter that crashed during the commando raid that killed Osama bin Laden in May despite explicit requests from the CIA not to, the Financial Times reported on Sunday.
The revelation, if confirmed, is likely to further shake the U.S.-Pakistan relationship, which has been improving slightly after hitting its lowest point in decades following the May 2 bin Laden raid.
During the raid, one of two modified Blackhawk helicopters, believed to employ unknown stealth capability, malfunctioned and crashed, forcing the commandos to abandon it.
"The US now has information that Pakistan, particularly the ISI, gave access to the Chinese military to the downed helicopter in Abbottabad," the paper quoted a person "in intelligence circles" as saying.
Pakistan, which enjoys a close relationship with China, allowed Chinese intelligence officials to take pictures of the crashed chopper as well as take samples of its special "skin" that allowed the American raid to evade Pakistani radar, the newspaper reported.
No one from the Pakistani army was available for comment, but the Inter-Services Intelligence Directorate (ISI), Pakistan's top spy agency, denied the report. The paper said Pakistan's top general, chief of army staff Ashfaq Kayani, denied that China had been given access.
Story: US forces kill Osama bin Laden in Pakistan
The surviving tail section, photos of which were widely distributed on the Internet, was returned to the United States following a trip by U.S. Senator John Kerry in May, a spokesman for the U.S. embassy told Reuters.
Shortly after the raid, Pakistan hinted that it might give China access to the downed chopper, given its fury over the raid, which it considers a grevious violation of its sovereignty.
"We had explicitly asked the Pakistanis in the immediate aftermath of the raid not to let anyone have access to the damaged remains of the helicopter," the Financial Times quoted the source as saying.
In an incident such as the helicopter crash, it is standard American procedure to destroy sophisticated technology such as encrypted communications and navigation computers.
Pakistan is a strategic ally to the United States but the relationship has been on a downward spiral since the killing of the al-Qaida leader in the raid by U.S. forces.
Islamabad was not informed in advance and responded by cutting back on U.S. trainers in the country and placing limits on CIA activities there.
The fact that the al-Qaida chief lived for years near the Pakistani army's main academy in the northwestern garrison town of Abbottabad reinforced suspicions in Washington about Islamabad's reliability in the war against militant Islamists.
There are also growing frustrations with Pakistan over its reluctance to mount offensives against militant factions in the northwest who are fighting U.S.-led foreign forces across the border in Afghanistan.
In a show of displeasure over Pakistan's cutback in U.S. trainers, its limits on visas for U.S. personnel and other bilateral irritants, the United States recently suspended about a third of its $2.7 billion annual defense aid to Pakistan.
Despite this, both sides have tried to prevent a breakdown of relations.
The head of Pakistan's powerful Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), Lieutenant-General Ahmad Shuja Pasha, visited the United States last month for talks with U.S. government and intelligence officials, which both sides said went well.
Despite the billions in aid, Pakistan still considers China a more reliable ally than the United States. China is a major investor in predominantly Muslim Pakistan in areas such as telecommunications, ports and infrastructure. The countries are linked by a Chinese-built road pushed through Pakistan's northern mountains.
Trade with Pakistan is worth almost $9 billion a year for Pakistan, and China is its top arms supplier.
In the wake of attacks that left 11 people dead in the China's western region of Xinjiang in late July, Pakistan quickly dispatched Lieutenant-General Pasha to Beijing. (Writing and additional reporting by Chris Allbritton; Editing by Rosalind Russell)

Missy Franklin's Olympic diversion: A trip to the English countryside
A week after returning from the Olympic games, 17-year-old Missy Franklin is back to life as a high school senior in Colorado. As she sits in math class at Regis Jesuit High School, we'd be surprised if she wasn't a little wistful in remembering her time in the big swim of Olympic competition and celebrations in England.
The athlete didn't spend all of her time in the pool when she was in London. After earning five medals, she got to live like royalty for a bit. Franklin was among 50 people who spent time at Leeds Castle, dining in a banquet hall in which Henry VIII once entertained, taking tea and playing a murder mystery game. She would have gone hot air ballooning, but fog kept her grounded.
She tweeted and posted a photo of the castle on Aug. 9: "My view from breakfast. Not bad, huh?:)"

Eight Muslims accused along with 13 Iranian Jews of spying for Israel were providing the Jewish state with information on Arabs living in Iran, a judiciary official said Tuesday, quoted by the Associated Press.
The Muslim defendants were giving Israel information on Palestinian and Lebanese residents in Iran. It was very important information, said judiciary chief Hossein Amiri in the first public comments on the charges against the eight Muslim defendants.
Amiri said that five of the eight Muslim defendants had been summoned to court, but he gave no other details.
The AP quoted Amiri as saying defense lawyers for the 10 main Jewish defendants finished arguing their case Monday. The trial now turns to the prosecution, which is led by the judge in the revolutionary court trying the case. A verdict will be issued one week after arguments end.
Defense lawyers for the Iranian Jews told reporters that the accused should be acquitted because of insufficient evidence. They also question the fairness of the revolutionary court where the judge is also the prosecutor and there is no jury.
Three other Jews accused in the same trial are free on bail, presumably because the charges against them are less serious.
Eight of the 13 Jews have pleaded guilty. Four, including the three on bail, have pleaded innocent, and one said he passed information to Israel, but believed that his actions did not amount to espionage.
The trial has generated international concern. The United States has said the outcome could affect its policy toward Iran. Israel has denied that any of the 13 were its spies, said the agency – Albawaba.com

Unwilling to let charges of racism stand, "tea party" groups continue to challenge claims by members of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) that protesters hurled the N-word at them 15 times at a "Code Red" protest in the run-up to the health-care reform vote on March 20.
Without hard evidence for either side, the conventional wisdom might be for tea partyers to let the incident slide and to blame the movement's more radical elements. Instead, a group called the Tea Party Federation sent a letter to the CBC on April 26 demanding video or audio corroboration of the accusations.
Already concerned about agents provocateur infiltrating rallies, tea party members say they either want help to ferret out the guilty party – or an apology from congressmen it if turns out they made up the incident to discredit the tea party movement.
Amid at least one poll showing that the public perceives the tea party movement to be at least partially racially biased, the forceful letter – added to a $100,000 bounty already out for hard evidence – is a new twist on an old tactic: calling a bluff on the race card. It also adds to an effort by conservatives, given President Obama's election, to move into a "post-shame" age in which the politics of race are dialed back to allow America to move forward.
"Ironically, the fact that a black man is president has made conservatives think that, 'Well, we elected a black guy president and that shows America is not a racist country and we should put this stuff behind us,' " says Michael Kazin, a history professor at Georgetown University. "Other politicians, including Hillary and Bill Clinton, have gotten burned by saying that black people will use the race card in their defense even if nothing is going on. But what does work is saying that liberals or Democrats are talking about race in order to hide their true intentions, which [resonates] among independent voters."
So far, it's not clear what happened that day. Deciding to walk outside in the nice spring weather rather than take an underground tunnel, a group of black congressmen walked down the steps of the Capitol and to the Cannon House Office Building.
Hordes of tea party protesters surrounded them and can be heard on video yelling "Kill the bill! Kill the bill!" Reps. André Carson (D) of Indiana and John Lewis (D) of Georgia said in an interview right after the gauntlet walk that they'd also heard the N-word used 15 times by various people in the crowd. Rep. Emanuel Cleaver II (D) of Missouri, who was also in the group, at first said a protester spit on him, but later clarified that the protester had allowed spittle to fly in his direction while yelling.
Since the alleged incident, at least one person used who initially corroborated the story, North Carolina Rep. Heath Shuler (D), who is white, has said he did not hear the epithet. The videographer who shot the only available video of the incident says he didn't hear the N-word, but added that it well could have happened, given the tenor of the verbal confrontation.
"A bright line was crossed on the 20th," says Christina Botteri, a spokeswoman for the Tea Party Federation. "The left constantly attacks conservatives as racist, as dumb, as evil, but what happened on the 20th is a sitting congressman, with the full voice and credibility of the House of Representatives, accused a group of citizens with whom he philosophically disagrees of assault and then refused to help find the persons responsible. They need to help us find the people responsible or apologize for making it up."
Conservative Web publisher Andrew Breitbart has accused the congressmen of lying about the incident in an effort to tar the tea party movement. He has gone so far as to offer a $100,000 donation to the United Negro College Fund for proof. Though it appears from footage that at least some of the congressmen's entourage were filming the walk, no one has claimed the bounty.
"[This] is a slander with real-world repercussions," Mr. Breitbart asserts on BigJournalism.com.
Some in the mainstream press have conceded tea partyers may have a point. Washington Post reporter David Weigel has said the March 20 incident is a "paradigm shift" that shows conservatives how the media accept attacks on the right without doing due diligence. Politico's Ben Smith, who keeps a close eye on the tea party movement, Tweeted a response to Breitbart about the lack of takers on the bounty: "I think you've pretty much won this one, no?"
And CNN senior political analyst David Gergen, in an April 14 television appearance, said the incident "was an important moment … a searing moment during the health-care debate.... Many of us took it as sort of like, that's what happened. Now, if it didn't happen, I think it's important to know that."
To the Congressional Black Caucus, meanwhile, the Tea Party Federation's push to keep the incident alive seems illogical, because it holds the spotlight on the ugliness of what one congressional staffer called "two days of terror." The CBC is unlikely to reply to the letter, sources say.
With the March 20 incident in mind, at least one political scientist suggests that America is not ready for "post-shame" politics.
"There are some things that society has rightly come to dissociate with shame, but shame serves an important function in moral thinking," writes Clyde Wilcox, a political scientist at Georgetown University, in an e-mail. "Some of our political arguments today are shameful, and we move to a 'post-shame' era at our peril."
