igh on a bluff overlooking the Knife River in the Upper Missouri River valley, soft winds ruffle the lush grasses that cover, but do not obscure, circle upon circle of raised earth with central depressions. These depressions mark all that remains of a once lively village. In the late 18th century, while European colonists were fighting a revolution with England in the eastern part of the continent, these villagers were conducting their centuries-old trade with remote tribal groups; fashioning weapons needed to hunt the big game that shared the rolling hills; tending their gardens of squash, pumpkin, beans, sunflowers, corn, and tobacco; and carrying on all the other occupations of daily life. From the ceremonial plazaa spot of land that was once the center of village activitiesone can look to the northward hills and see trails left from the travois, sled-like carriers used by hunters and traders.Looking downward toward the slow-moving river, partly obscured by the cottonwood and willow trees that line the river banks, one can easily imagine groups felling trees to be hauled up the hill and prepared as support beams for new or reconstructed earthlodges. One can almost hear children splashing in the river's cool waters, swimming and playing about in the round bull boats that were used to cross the river. It is possible to imagine such scenes because we know what to look for. The writings and illustrations of EuropeanAmerican visitors to the villages during the late 18th and early 19th centuries provide a historical record of Plains Indians that is unparalleled in its abundance of information, detail, and diversity of sources. Recent archeological studies have added rich information about the site that goes back at least 3,500 years.

Anthony Malcolm
Buckeridge, the creator of
'Jennings', born in London in
1912, died 28th June 2004 at
the age of 92.
The retired schoolmaster
brought 'Jennings' and his
adventures at Linbury Court
preparatory school to the
public through BBC Children's
Hour after he had sent a radio
script to David Davis in 1948.
Further plays were
commissioned by the BBC and
the first book came with
'Jennings goes to School',
published by Collins in 1950.
Over the next thirty years
more than twenty 'Jennings'
books followed and in more
recent years the original
plays written for the radio
have also been published.
Buckeridge also wrote four
books about a grammar school
boy 'Rex Milligan', edited
several volumes of short
stories and his autobiography,
'While I remember', was
published in 1999.
'A Year in the
Merde' by Paul West
Guardian reports that Stephen
Clarke, aka Paul West, printed in his
garage an edition of 200 copies of his
experiences of living in Paris, for
distribution to his friends. Described
as an urban antidote to 'A Year in
Provence' and written in 'Bridget Jones'
Diary' format, he says he is a cross
between Hugh Grant and David Beckham and
tries to show the French as they really
are. Within a few weeks demand has risen
and 2000 orders have been received. Even
the French are buying it even if they
don't quite understand it.
He now has an agent and it is understood
that deals are being negotiated with
major British and French publishers and
even film rights have been mentioned.
The Sixth Harry
Potter title
With great fanfare, JK Rowling has
announced the title of the 6th book in
the Harry Potter series as Harry
Potter and the Half Blood Prince. It
appears that the title is all she has so
far written, so has given plenty of
notice of upcoming publication.
Considering that there was a two year
gap between books 4 and 5, it could well
be that Potter fans will have grown up
or out of Potter by the time it comes to
fruition. And, it is assumed, the author
is quietly confident she will avoid
writers cramp.
Science Fiction and Fantasy
Whether you're a true bibliophile or
just someone who loves to read, book
collecting is an enjoyable, and
sometimes a profitable way to enhance a
favourite hobby or pastime. There are
lots of ways to start collecting books.
Avid readers are usually already book
collectors because of the very nature of
their hobby or pastime - they love
reading. Most avid readers are partial
to certain types of books, whether
they're mysteries, science fiction,
adventure or romance. Among these
genres, you will soon realise that there
are more science fiction books on the
shelf than any other.
First editions of certain authors works
are sometimes very valuable. Value is
determined by how popular an author has
become and how scarce their books have
become. The print run of some books,
particularly UK editions, can be very
low indeed with most going to libraries.
There are many other categories you
might consider when beginning a book
collection besides favourite authors.
You could choose to collect works of a
certain illustrators, or distinctive
book formats (i.e.) miniature books or
those in slip covers, certain types of
bindings, or award winners - for Science
Fiction these include the Nebulas and
the Hugos, for Horror there's the
Stokers and for Fantasy, the World
Fantasy Award and others, many of which
can be found on our website. There's
ARCs (advance reading copies), authors
first books, or only those signed by the
author. You might decide you'd like to
collect books published in the 1930s, or
ones printed a few hundred years ago.
Authors to consider in the Science
Fiction genre are Brian Aldiss, Keith
Roberts, J.G. Ballard, Philip K. Dick,
Peter F Hamilton, Adam Roberts, Iain
Banks, and China Mieville.
Collectable fantasy authors include
David Eddings (Belgariad), George R.
Martin, J.R.R. Tolkien, Mercedes Lackey
and David Gemmell.
Those of a more bloodthirsty nature may
prefer horror stories written by authors
such as Joe Lansdale, HP Lovecraft,
Basil Coppr, Hugh B Cave, Stephen King
and Dean R Koontz.
Caring for your book collection is also
another important consideration.
Whenever possible, books should be
stored vertically and on a bookshelf.
Never cram them tightly together as
damage could occur when taking a book on
or off the shelf. Make sure that the
volumes are never exposed to direct
sunlight otherwise print fades and pages
yellow. If you don't have a lot of room
in your house, its okay to store books
in boxes. But again make sure to align
them vertically in the box if you can.
Also make sure the boxes are small
enough for easy handling and can be
tightly sealed to protect the books from
various damaging elements.
Don't store books in lofts or sheds.
Both extremes - heat or possible damp or
moisture - can be very detrimental for
books. The ideal temperature to store
them in is around 70 degrees Fahrenheit
and at a relative humidity of about 50%.
A room with year round air conditioning
is ideal. Mould or mildew is another
Advanced mould growth can do irreparable
harm and make prized first editions
virtually worthless. If mould does
become a problem and its caught early
enough, the best thing to do is move the
books to a drier location and expose
them to air or sunlight. Try and dust
your books at regular intervals too,
about once a year.
Mice, silver fish, cockroaches and other
paper-loving pests can damage your book
collection beyond repair. To avoid such
infestations store your most prized
books in individually sealed bags or
air-tight containers. If you're still
having trouble with certain types of
insidious pests, discuss the problem
with a reputable exterminator.
Heres a few more things, you, the Book
Collector can do to protect your
everyday books and your prized book
Happy collecting!

A unique charity bookshop opens its
doors from Thursday August 5th to
Sunday August 8th from 10.00am to
4.00pm daily. This consists of a barn
full of new and second-hand books of all
categories including first editions and
leather-bound books, and a very large
tent full of 50p books representing
fantastic value! The event will be well
signposted from exit 5 of the M40 and is
half a mile from Turville (just follow
the pink signs) and parking is free. The
charities this year are the Elizabeth
Finn Trust and Thames Valley Adventure
Recent Auction
Sothebys recently sold a copy of
Alcoholics Anonymous Big Book at
their New York salerooms. Expecting to
sell for $300-500,000, it eventually
fetched a stunning $1,576,000. The book
in question is no ordinary book but was
the master-copy of the working draft
belonging to co-founder of AA, Bill
Wilson, with marginal notes and
amendments in his own hand. This
particular book has gone into numerous
editions and printings since it was
first published and it is claimed has
helped hundreds of thousands, if not
millions of people to find a route out
of their alcoholism.
Attempted Internet
banking scam
A recent attempt has been made to target
those in the antiques trade who use
internet banking, conning them into
believing that a 'bank-to-bank' transfer
has been made. Having told the seller
that an inter-bank transfer would be
made, a stolen cheque was deposited for
the agreed amount of the sale. When
checking online this would have appeared
to the seller as a payment into the
account but would not necessarily shown
the source or method used.
Bank to bank transfers are of cleared
funds and so it would be safe to release
the goods but a cheque still needs to be
cleared. Fortunately in this case (a
sale of four antique clocks for £72,500)
the seller was already doubtful and he
delayed releasing the goods long enough
for the bank to let him know that the
payment had been by a cheque which had
been stolen.
The Samuel Johnson Prize
Sponsored by BBC Four, the Samuel
Johnson Prize is awarded to the best
non-fiction work and the winner of the
£30,000 prize for 2004 is Ann Funder for
her book 'Stasiland', published by
Granta, a collection of accounts of life
in the totalitarian state of East
The Orange Prize
Sponsored by Orange, the prize is
awarded to the best novel by a female
writer in the English language and the
winner of the £30,000 prize for 2004 is
Andrea Levy for her novel 'Small
Island', published by Headline, about a
Jamaican couple who arrive in Brtian
after WW2.
The Aventis Prize
Bill Brysons 'A Short History of Nearly
Everything' recently won the Aventis
Award for science publications. The
book, whose author claims little or no
knowledge of science, traces the history
of earth, humankind and the Big bang to
the present.
Great Ormonde Street Childrens Hospital
was the double beneficiary of Brysons
win, in that he donated his £10,000
prize money to them, a sum matched by
the the Aventis Foundation who sponsor
the prize.

Apple has changed the small text on its UK store webpage that describes the New iPad Wi-Fi + 4G.
We had been wondering whether Apple may come a cropper for describing the New iPad as Wi-Fi + 4G on its UK website. First, LTE 4G is not really 4G, because 4G is supposed to offer 1 Gbit/s and Apple's brand of LTE 4G (or faux-G) offers 73Mbp/s. But even more crucial, the iPad is not actually able to offer 4G in the UK, and even if the infrastructure was in place, it would appear that it's the wrong sort of 4G anyway.
As we explain in this article about the New iPad and LTE 4G in the UK: The New iPad supports 4G running on the 700MHz and 2,100MHz spectrums - which is where 4G sits in America and Canada. Here in the UK the spectrums reserved for 4G aren't the same: the current UK trials are using the 1,800MHz spectrum, and later this year the 800MHz and 2.6GHz spectrum will be auctioned off in the UK. So the New iPad may never offer 4G in the UK.
It is interesting to note that when we looked at the online store on 8 March the small print regarding the New iPhone Wi-Fi + 4G read: "The iPad with Wi-Fi + 4G model can roam worldwide on GSM/UMTS networks. When you travel internationally, you can also use a micro-SIM card from a local carrier. In countries without compatible 4G LTE networks, the new iPad will operate on GSM worldwide network technologies such as HSPA+ and DC-HSDPA."
Today when we looked at the same page it read as follows: "The iPad with Wi-Fi + 4G model can roam worldwide on GSM/UMTS networks. When you travel internationally, you can also use a micro-SIM card from a local carrier. You can also connect to the 4G LTE networks of AT&T in the U.S and Bell, Rogers, and Telus in Canada."
It would appear that Apple has wised up to the fact that the 4G capability of the New iPad does not stretch to the 4G on offer in every country and thought it wise to note that it only supports 4G in the US and Canada.
All is not lost, however, the New iPad will offer HSPA+ at 21Mbit/s, and we should be able to take advantage of that in the UK.

Husky starts up Liwan offshore natural gas platform
The project southeast of Hong Kong taps into three offshore fields, using shared infrastructure to produce the gas.
CALGARY — Husky Energy Inc. says natural gas has started to flow from the massive $6.5-billion Liwan offshore project in the South China Sea.
"Liwan is Husky's largest project to date and places us inside the door of one of the fastest growing energy markets in the world," CEO Asim Ghosh said in a release.
"It was a massive undertaking and is a great achievement for deepwater gas production in the Asia Pacific Region."
On a quarterly conference call last year, Ghosh likened the assembly of Liwan's offshore infrastructure to affixing downtown Calgary's Palliser Hotel to the top of the Calgary Tower – an enormous undertaking that requires extreme precision.
Husky operates the deepwater infrastructure, while its partner, Chinese state-owned firm CNOOC Ltd., operates the shallow water facilities and onshore gas terminal. CNOOC holds 51% of their production sharing contract, with Husky holding the rest.
The project, about 300 kilometres southeast of Hong Kong, taps into three offshore fields, using shared infrastructure to produce the gas and get it to market.
Gas from the first field, Liwan 3-1, has started flowing, with sales expected to increase to 300 million cubic feet per day in the second half of this year. Initial sales of condensates and natural gas liquids are expected to be between 10,000 and 14,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day.
The second field, Liuhua 34-2, is expected to be tied into the Liwan infrastructure during the second half of 2014, after which sales are expected to increase to 340 million cubic feet per day.
The third field, Liuhua 29-1, is expected to be tied in around 2016-2017, when total gas sales are expected to rise to between 400 and 500 million cubic feet per day.
For the first five years, gas from Liwan 3-1 and Liuhua 34-2 will sell at between US$11 and US$13 per 1,000 cubic feet, while negotiations are underway for the Liuhua 29-1 sales contract.
The project started up amid extremely stormy weather in the South China Sea. Husky expects production from its Asia Pacific segment to come in at the lower end of its 35,000 to 45,000 barrel per day guidance range for this year.

Transforming CO₂ into valuable products
$20 Million
Prize Purse
The $20 million NRG COSIA Carbon XPRIZE is a global competition to develop breakthrough technologies that will convert CO₂ emissions from power plants and industrial facilities into valuable products like building materials, alternative fuels and other items that we use every day.
Reimagining CO₂ for
The NRG COSIA Carbon XPRIZE inspires development of new and emerging CO₂ conversion technologies to help solve climate change.
Solutions are already exciting, especially the unexpected range and diversity of technologies and products under development. Teams are trying to make everything from carbon fiber, to fish food, to toothpaste, to building blocks.
Marcius Extavour
Prize Lead
The Grand Challenge
However, most of this energy comes from fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas that account for a majority of global carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions. We know that CO₂ emissions are a leading contributor to climate change, and the world will need a portfolio of solutions to address it.

In a previous meeting, resident Dan Shores asked about discolored water that is delivered through the city system when deep wells are pumped directly into the culinary system. Shores returned to the next meeting with more questions.
"I thought we have had the best water in the country, but the well water needs to be in a drinkable state, and it is not," said Shores, who added, "Trust is a big issue here and I don't have any right now."
Mayor Calvin Balch assured Shores that the water is carefully monitored and is safe to drink, despite occasional discolorization of the water in some areas of the city after the pumps are started.
City officials said 90 percent of the sediment in the system is because of the older lines in the city system. It is caused by oxidation and rust in the old cast iron lines.
Staff members will lead the Council in a review of the procedures that the water goes through in a future council meeting.
A total of 16.6 acre-feet of water was pumped in January from the deep wells. They are designed to provide culinary water when the ground water systems are experiencing drought conditions.
City Engineer Terry Ekker reports that despite the dry conditions, the upper water collection system is doing well.
In other matters, Fire Chief Craig Stanley reports that eleven firefighters attended the Winter Fire School.
The Council approved changes to the net metering program, in which the city purchases excess power produced through local wind or solar-energy projects.
The Council approved a request from San Juan County to wave the fee for use of the wellness center for the Health Fair on Saturday, June 7.
In addition, the City will offer a free-swim event on that day.
There will be a public hearing on February 25 to address proposed changes to a zoning ordinance which governs the size requirements for accessory buildings. The intent is to allow homeowners on very small lots to build accessory buildings. The buildings could be 1,000 square feet, regardless of the size of the home.
The Council began a series of budget work session meetings during council meetings in February and March. The budgets begin on July 1 of each year.
City officials hope to have a proposed budget by the end of April. After a public hearing on May 27, the plan is to adopt a budget on June 10.
The work session is intended to discuss the goals of each department to help guide city staff as they prepare the budget.
At this meeting, the Council discussed general fund issues, including the visitor center, parks and recreation, wellness center, planning and zoning, airport, and fire departments.

The awesome Lauredhel of Hoyden about Town wrote to us the other day and asked if we'd take on one of her pet peeves: using the phrase "the obese" to describe the entirety of fatkind. We explained that we are A) huge fans of hers, and B) a bunch of slackass losers, so if she wanted to see this topic on Shapely Prose, she'd just have to guest post. Fortunately for all of us, she obliged — and made some hilarious graphics, to boot. Thanks, Lauredhel! — Kate
By Lauredhel
People with disabilities have for quite a while been promoting "people-first" language to reinforce the simple, yet radical, notion that people with disabilities are people first, PWD second. "Diabetics" are people with diabetes; "disabled people" are people with disabilities; "wheelchair bound people" are people who use a wheelchair.
But before activists and advocates could move from this adjective-"people" format to "People with such-and-such-an-attribute", there was an earlier step. Getting rid of the monolithic mass noun. People with disabilities were typically labelled as a homogenised, Othered mass:
"The Blind", "The Retarded", "The Crippled", "The Wheelchair-Bound", "The Autistic", "The Handicapped".
Please don't get me wrong, here – even this basic linguistic change is nowhere near ubiquitous. Mass-noun terms for "The Disabled" continue their powerful hold over both everyday speech and formal labelling. And this is not the Oppression Olympics – I'm not comparatively evaluating the oppressions of PWD and fat people. (Coming from the intersection of both, I hope I have a touch of extra cred when I say this.)
But it's this deliberate language change process that springs to mind, for me, every time I see or hear "The Obese".
There's a resonance, here – and it's with horror-movie terminology. When I read "The Obese", I think "The Slitheen". The image of the Absorbaloff forces its way into my mind (why, Rusty, why?!). The Blob. Children of the Carbs. The Doughnutyville Horror, perhaps.
The Obese are constructed as a big ol' shuffling mob of zombies, out to accelerate global warming and eat babies and spread contagious fat to poor innocent citizens.
"Zombies", you say. "Isn't that just a little – hyperbolic, Lauredhel, hon?"
No. The actual term "walking dead" abounds for people of a certain size.
In the book Obesity, By Alexander G. Schauss, Schauss quotes a clinic director evaluating NFL players:
"The players who are at greatest risk for heart disease, diabetes, and stroke are the offensive and defensive linemen – they are the walking dead; they just don't know it."
Susan Powter's "The Politics of Stupid: The Cure for Obesity", pushing her diet-that-is-not-a-diet cure, talks about
"resurrection from the walking dead millions are "waking up" in daily".
People advocate calling fat children "the walking dead" to scare them into dieting.
The zombification and dehumanisation is internalised, too; repeated social messages are powerful things. A diet blog is dubbed "Dead Man Walking". A commenter on fat fu even called hirself "walking dead morbidly obese" – while mentioning that sie has been that way for thirty years.
And there's this, and this, and this.
The usage and context of the term "The Obese" bring home to us the fact that society thinks of fat people as a mob. A sinister, homogenised, shuffling, soulless mob. People who are fat are Othered, defined as something apart from normal. Our fatness is considered our key and defining characteristic; something that sets us apart from "regular people". Our bodies are foreign, and undesirable, and frightening. This attitude is dehumanising, deindividuating, and what's more, it gets on my wick.
I hope we as a people can start to take a leaf out of the book of the Texas Council for Developmental Disabilities, when they say:
What Do You Call People with Disabilities? [or fat people, or any other "kind" of people ~Lauredhel]
Men, women, boys, girls, students, mom, Sue's brother, Mr. Smith, Rosita, a neighbor, employer, coworker, customer, chef, teacher, scientist, athlete, adults, children tourists, retirees, actors, comedians, musicians, blondes, brunettes, SCUBA divers, computer operators, individuals, members, leaders, people, voters, Texans, friends or any other word you would use for a person.

Pop star Demi Lovato has apologized for rushing past fans waiting outside an event in New York on Monday, blaming rude paparazzi for forcing her to make a quick exit.
The "Skyscraper" hit maker found herself mobbed by photographers as she left the Logo TV network's inaugural Trailblazers award ceremony in Manhattan, blocking her access to devotees who were hoping to meet the singer.
The snappers' aggressive behavior prompted Lovato to make a quick dash to her car to escape and she subsequently took to Twitter to chastise the paparazzi.
The angry star wrote, "When are paparazzi gonna learn? If you're respectful to me, I'll be respectful back. Why does it have to be a war of celebs against paps (sic)? Of course if you yell horrible things, I'm not gonna work with you. I'll pose if you are respectful and not being bullies."
Lovato then reached out to her fans to apologize for the incident, tweeting, "I wanted to stop for my fans today/tonight really bad because I love you so much but I can't deal with how mean those paps are.
"I always try to stop because I appreciate every single one of you, so if I don't get to you please know I'm sorry and I love you.
"Sometimes staying strong means not putting yourself in uncomfortable or triggering situations."
When are paparazzi gonna learn? If you're respectful to me, I'll be respectful back. Why does it have to be a war of celebs against paps?

Well my Freerunner does not seem to become my primary phone (again) any time soon.
And my old Nokia 6100 battery has seen better days, okay it is not as bad as a smart phone just yet.
So I could either keep the old N6100, buy a new low end feature phone or get a fancy smart phone.
Until recently I thought that I would end up buying a new feature phone.
But disappointment in the evolution of T9 (none) on dirt cheap phones and the continued desire for a computer in my pocket lead me back to smart phones.
So I ended up ordering a GeeksPhone One.
Just for completeness some pro/con thoughts about the alternatives.
Nokia N900
- Very cool hardware (it even got a hardware keyboard).
- Runs a Debian based distribution.
- Quite expensive.
- Nokia left me for dead with the Nokia 770 tablet (NO I will never forget this).
- Closed source just like the Nokia 770 (I can't build a firmware for it, see above).
- Maemo 5 has a relative small user base.
- Maemo 5 is dead? Long live MeeGo?
- Good question… highest sex appeal perhaps?
- Steve (Apple) wants to decide how and for what I use the phone.
- Oh, and it is expensive.
Android phones (HTC, Samsung, etc.)
- Decent to very nice hardware.
- Large user base => lots of applications.
- "They" want the same control as Apple.
- Not free and hacker friendly.
- Can be quite expensive.
GeeksPhone ONE
- Decent hardware that includes a hardware keyboard.
- Rather cheap, they had them on sale for €159 (out of stock right now).
- No need to "root" the phone as it is not locked.
- You can build new firmwares for them (rmcc has created quite a few new firmwares).
- They encourages people to do so.
- As it runs Android there should be a large selection of applications.
- Firmware contains closed binary blobs (as far as I know)
- Currently only runs Android, no Debian, SHR or FSO yet.
- Open schematics and chip documents would have been nice.
- The community is VERY Spanish, "Google Translate" is really a useful tool here.
- The "One" is soon to be replaced by two new models.
- Why god, why did they have to write "GeeksPhõne" on the back of the unit?

The Met Office has issued a Yellow weather warning for ice and snow in Northern Ireland.
The Met Office warning, issued this morning, was for County Antrim, County Armagh, County Down, County Fermanagh, County Londonderry and County Tyrone.
It is expected to be valid from early Friday morning to 6pm on Friday (December 8).
A Met Office spokesman said: "Snow showers are expected to become increasingly frequent over northern Scotland late on Thursday and are expected across many other parts of Scotland, Northern Ireland, Wales and western England on Friday.
"2-5 cm of snow is likely for some, with 10-20 cm possible over high ground, mainly Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales."
The Met Office spokesman added that "icy surfaces are also likely to be an additional hazard, especially overnight".
"Strong northwest winds may cause drifting of the snow in places with blizzard conditions possible at times across northern Scotland," added the report. "The heaviest and most frequent of the snow showers will progressively become confined to northeast Scotland during Saturday. "

Over the years, many questions recur repeatedly every few days. Let me try to recap some of these questions to stimulate discussion. Please ask and comment...
1. Will there be a cure for spinal cord injury?
• The answer to this question of course depend on one's definition of a cure. If a cure means eradication of spinal cord injury, I think that it is unlikely in my lifetime. If a cure means complete restoration of all function to "normal" or pre-injury levels for all people with spinal cord injury, I think that that this is unlikely because we probably will not have therapies that can completely reverse aging and changes of the body due to the injury. On the other hand, I believe that there will be effective therapies that will restore function to people with spinal cord injury, including touch and pain sensations, bladder and bowel function, erection and ejaculation, and motor control including long-distance walking. Several years ago, I tried to get around the problem of the definition of "cure" by proposing that a person would be cured if a well-informed observer cannot tell that a person has had spinal cord injury. This does not necessarily mean that the person has been completely restored to pre-injury levels or all functions are normal.
2. When will a cure be available?
• Some therapies are restoring substantial function to some people. These are what I call the first generation therapies which include treatments like weight-supported treadmill ambulation training, decompression and untethering of a spinal cord that is compressed. Some preliminary data suggest that certain cell transplants such as olfactory ensheathing glia transplants will restore 4-8 levels of sensory function and 1-2 levels of motor function. None of these therapies can be construed as a cure. Second generation therapies are beginning to come into clinical trial and should be available in a few years. These include nasal mucosa olfactory ensheathing glia, Schwann cell transplants, and perhaps even embryonic stem cells. The latter unfortunately have been mired in political debate and has already been delayed by 4 years. In addition, several therapies such as Nogo receptor blockers and Nogo antibodies, glial-derived neurotrophic factor, chondroitinase, and other treatments are being developed for clinical trial and may come on line within a year or two. The timing of such treatments depends on the availability of funding for clinical trials. But, if sufficient funding were available, I think that some of these treatments will be shown to be effective and will be available in 4 years. Finally, third generation therapies will be closer to the "cure". These include possible combination cell transplant therapies with growth factors and other treatments that stimulate regeneration of the spinal cord. These should produce more recovery in more people. For example, cell transplants combined with drugs such as glial-derived neurotrophic factor, chondroitinase ABC, and cAMP/rolipram have been reported to produce significantly better regeneration in rats compared to individual treatments. The rate at which these treatments get into clinical trial depend on the amount of funding available for clinical trial. If funding were made available, I think that some of third generation therapies will be available as soon as 8 years from now.
3. Will a cure work for chronic spinal cord injury?
• Yes, I believe so for the following reasons. First, much animal and human data suggest that regeneration of relatively few axons can restore function such as walking, bladder function, and sexual function. This is because the spinal cord contains much of the circuitry necessary to execute and control these functions. Probably about 10% of the axons in the spinal cord are necessary and sufficient to restore some of these functions. Second, animal studies suggest that axons continue to try to regrow for long periods of time after injury. Treatments that provide a path for growth, that negate some of the factors that inhibit growth, and that stimulate axonal growth can restore function. Third, while chronic spinal cord injury studies in animals are still very limited, the fact that many people continue to recover some function years after injury provide hope that these therapies will also work in chronic spinal cord injury. However, it is important to provide some caveats concerning recovery. Recovery may be limited by muscle atrophy and other changes in the body. Likewise, there is a phenomenon called "learned non-use" where neural circuits may turn off after prolonged periods of non-use. Intensive exercise and physical therapy will be necessary to reverse these changes.
4. What can I do now to be ready for the cure?
• The first and foremost concern of people with spinal cord injury should be to take care of their body and try to prevent muscle and bone atrophy and other changes that may prevent recovery of function. This is difficult but people need to engage in disciplined exercise that maintains their muscle and bone, take care of their skin, bladder, and bowels. People should avoid procedures that cause irreversible loss of peripheral nerve and other functions. On the other hand, it is important to weigh the benefits of procedures such as tendon transfers which can provide greater functionality and independence for people with weak hands. Likewise, certain procedures such as Mitrofanoff and bladder augmentation to reduce bladder spasticity may provide greater independence but may not be easily reversible. Finally, many studies have shown that people with the highest levels of education after injury are more likely to have better quality of life and health. It is important that people do not neglect their brain, the most important part of their body.
5. What can I do about spasticity, spasms, and neuropathic pain?
• Many people suffer from spasticity (increased tone), spasms (spontaneous movements), and pain or abnormal sensations (in areas below the injury site where there is diminished or absent sensation). These problems arise from disconnection of the brain from the body. Neurons in the spinal cord that have been disconnected tend to become hyperexcitable. Spasticity is the most common manifestation. Several treatments will reduce spasticity. The most commonly used drug is baclofen (a drug that stimulates GABA-B receptors in the spinal cord). Oral doses of baclofen up to 120 mg/day will reduce spasticity for most people. However, due to side-effects, some people cannot tolerate high oral doses and must take combinations of drugs, including clonidine or tizanidine which activate alpha-adrenergic receptors. In general, while these drugs reduce spasticity, they are typically not effective in preventing spasms without causing significant weakness. Taking too much anti-spasticity drug may reduce the muscle tone to the extent that muscle atrophy will occur. So, people should titrate the dose of anti-spasticity drugs so that they continue to have some tone. Few drugs are effective against spasms. One possible drug is neurontin (gabapentin) which is an anti-epileptic drug. Neuropathic pain probably results from increased excitability of spinal neurons that have been disconnected from sensory signals and may manifest in "burning", "freezing", or "pressure" type pain, usually in areas where normal sensation is absent or greatly diminished. Neurontin is reduces neuropathic pain in some people but people generally accomodate to the drug and higher doses are necessary over time. In some people, low doses (20 mg/day) of the anti-depressant drug amitryptaline (Elavil) may be useful in taking the edge off neuropathic pain. However, for many people, none of the oral drugs are sufficient to control spasticity, spasms, or neuropathic pain. For people with severe spasticity, a pump that delivers baclofen directly to the spinal cord through an implanted catheter may be effective and necessary. In about 15% of people, however, none of these therapies are sufficient to control spasms and neuropathic pain.
6. How can I exercise and will it do any good?
• Exercise in a paralyzed person is difficult and some specialized equipment may be necessary and useful for exercising the muscles. First, most people have standing frames where they can stand for an hour or two every day. Second, functional electrical stimulation (FES) can be used to activate their leg muscles and the legs can be stimulated to pedal an exercise bike. Third, standing and walking in a swimming pool is the cheapest and possibly most cost-effective way for a person to stand and walk. Fourth, weight-supported treadmill ambulation training has been shown to improve walking recovery. Finally, people should think about setting aside a month or two every year where they would essentially engage in full-time training. During the rest of the year, they need to maintain the gains that they have achieved by spending an hour or so per day on exercising. Although there have been few formal studies of the subject, many people with spinal cord injury have reported significant increases in the girth of their legs when they use FES regularly.
7. What is osteoporosis, its mechanisms and consequences, and ways to reverse it?
• Osteoporosis is loss of calcium in bone that occur throughout the skeletal system, particularly in the pelvis and legs below the injury site. The mechanism is not understood but appears to be related to disuse and the loss of gravitational and other stresses on the bone. In acute spinal cord injury, bone begins to decalcify within days after spinal cord injury, with significant increases in calcium in the urine (hypercalciuria) within 10 days. The pattern of bone loss is 2-4 times greater those seen in people on prolonged bedrest without spinal cord injury, similar to the bone loss seen in postmenopausal women. The loss of bone is not effectively reversed by increased dietary calcium intake alone. Parathyroid hormone level is generally low in the first year but increases above normal after the first year. Substantial (25-43%) decreases in bone mineral densities occur in the leg bones occur within a year and may exceed 50% loss by 10 years while bone density may increase in the arms after 4 months in paraplegic patients, compared to tetraplegics. Some studies suggest that people with spasticity have less bone loss than those who are flaccid. Losses in bone result in increased fracture rates. The Model Spinal Cord Injury System, for example, reported a 14% incidence of fracture by 5 years after injury, 28% and 39% by 10 and 15 years, usually in the most demineralized bone. People with complete spinal cord injury and paraplegia have 10 times greater fracture rates than those with incomplete injury or tetraplegia. Weight-bearing and bicycling with functional electrical stimulation will reverse osteoporosis when started within 6 weeks after injury. However, such programs are less effective in people with chronic spinal cord injury. Some preliminary studies suggest that treatment bisphosphonates (Pamidronate) and parathyroid hormone (Teriparatide) can prevent or reduce osteoporosis and fracture rates in people with chronic spinal cord injury. http://www.emedicine.com/pmr/topic96.htm
8. What is autonomic dysreflexia, its mechanisms and consequences, and treatments?
• Autonomic dysreflexia (AD) refers to increased activity of the sympathetic nervous system, associated with profuse sweating, rash, elevated blood pressure, and vasodilation above the injury level. People with AD commonly develop a headache caused by vasodilation of brain blood vessels. Heart rate falls and vision may be blurred. Nasal congestion may be present. Between 40-90% of people with spinal cord injury suffer from AD and is more severe in people with spinal cord injury above T6. AD can be triggered by many potential causes, including bladder distension, urinary tract infection, and manipulation of the bowel and bladder system, pain from any source, menstruation, labor and delivery, sexual intercourse, temperature changes, constrictive clothing, sunburns, and insect bites. When AD occurs, doctors usually catheterize the bladder to ensure adequate urinary drainage, check for fecal impaction manually using lidocaine jelly as a lubricant, and eliminate all other potential causes of irritation to the body. Treatment includes use of calcium channel blocker Nifedipine (Procardia 10 mg capsule) to reduce blood pressure or adrenergic alpha-receptor blocking agent phenoxybenzamine (10 mg twice a day), mecamylamine (Inversine 2.5 mg orally). Diazoxide (Hyperstat 1-3 mg/kg). Often doctors in emergency room may not know how to handle AD crises in people with spinal cord injury and therefore it is important for people to know the treatments. http://www.emedicine.com/pmr/topic217.htm
9. What is syringomyelia, its mechanisms and consequences, and treatments?
• Syringomyelia is the presence of a cyst in the spinal cord, resulting from enlargement of the central canal. The central canal is typically tiny and not visible on magnetic resonance images (MRI) of the spinal cord. As many as 15% of people develop a syringomyelic cyst in their spinal cords with perhaps 5% showing symptoms of pain and loss of function associated with cyst enlargement, beginning as early as one month to as late as 45 years after injury. Pain is the most commonly reported symptom associated with syringomyelia. Other symptoms include increased weakness, loss of sensation, greater spasticity, and increased sweating. The symptoms can be aggravated by postural changes, Valsalva manuever (increasing pressure in the chest). It may also be associated with changes in bladder reflexes, autonomic dysreflexia, painless joint deformity or swelling, increased spasticity, dissociation of sensation and temperature, respiratory impairment. The cyst can be observed with MRI scans. It is usually associated with scarring of the meninges or arachnoid membranes of the spinal cord, observable with CT-scan with myelography. Surgical intervention is recommended when there is progressive neurological loss. Traditionally, syringomyelia has been treated with shunting of the cyst by placement of a catheter between the cyst and the subarachnoid space or pleural cavity. But shunting alone is frequently associated with shunt blockade within a year. More recent studies suggest that meticulous removal of adhesions with duroplasty (increasing the dura by grafting membrane) to re-establish subarachnoid cerebrospinal fluid flow is more effective and may result in elimination of the cyst in 80% of cases. One study has shown that transplantation of fetal tissues into the cyst can eliminate the cyst. http://www.emedicine.com/pmr/topic115.htm
10. What is the effect of spinal cord injury on sexual function and what can be done to improve such function?
• Most people with spinal cord injury above the T10 will continue to have reflex erections associated with stimulation. Some people may have prolonged erections called priapism. A majority can have ejaculation although increased stimulation including vibration may be required. In many people, ejaculation may be retrograde, i.e. the ejaculate goes into the bladder rather comes out, because the external sphincter may be open. Retrograde ejaculation should not be harmful or cause urinary tract infections. A serious associated complication of sexual intercourse in both men and women is the occurrence of autonomic dysreflexia (AD) with orgasm, with associated headaches and other symptoms of AD. These can be treated with drugs to lower blood pressure (see answer to AD above). In addition, sexual intercourse may be associated with increased spasticity and spasms. People with injuries below T10 may have damage to the spinal cord centers responsible for erection and ejaculation. Many techniques are available to increase erection, including drugs such as Sildenafil (Viagra), vacuum pumps, cock rings, and penile prostheses. Several studies have reported that women with "complete" spinal cord injury can achieve orgasms, possibly through neural pathways outside of the spinal cord.

Perched to take advantage of the sun
Long before dinosaurs walked the earth, dragonflies took to the air.
Griffenflies, the gigantic precursors of our modern-day dragonflies, took flight in the Carboniferous period over 300 million years ago.
Their descendants have had plenty of time to spread around the world. Ancient Celts called them big needle of wings. In England, they're water dippers. In China, old glassy.
Last summer, a pair of dragonflies would fly around my pool and often land, and perch, on my big toe. This summer, one perches atop the wooden clothespins on my clothesline. Staring at me with bulging bug eyes, it seems content to watch me hang laundry out to dry.
In reality, this perching dragonfly is simply doing what it does best.
Dragonflies subdivide into fliers and perchers. Both sorts are ectotherms as are all insects, meaning they are cold-blooded creatures that get heat from outside their body.
Fliers patrol by flying back and forth in search of insects for a meal or other dragonflies to mate with. The rapid whirring movement of their wings warms up their bodies.
Perchers like the one on my clothespins rest on perches, keeping watch for potential prey, predators, members of their own species and me.
Perchers rely on solar energy for warmth and position their bodies skillfully to maximize the surface area exposed to the sun's rays.
During hot spells, dragonflies position their bodies to minimize sun exposure and use their wings to deflect the sun.
When it's cooler, dragonflies use their wings as reflectors, tilting them to direct the solar radiation toward their bodies.
The one that perches on my clothespins uses the sun's rays beating down directly on my clothesline for warmth. It's soaking up solar rays, right alongside my laundry.

Is it possible to recover videos from my Sony camcorder?
I accidentally deleted some videos from my Sony Handycam HDR-CX56X camcorder. I am using my 2GB Sony memory stick, and I know that all the files taken with the Handycam are stored on it. I tried to take the stick out and connect it to my computer, but the deleted videos were not showed there. Is there any possibilities to retrieve my camcorder videos?
Yes, there is a possibilty to recover deleted videos from Sony camcorders. When you directly deleted videos from your camcorder, there is no recycle bin thing as on a computer to store deleted files, and this's why you can't see them when you connect it to your computer.
But deleted videos are not really gone, but it only become invisible and is available to be overwritten by new files. Therefore, you can recover any files from Sony camcorders like Sony Handycam, 3D camcorder and more.
How to recover files from Sony camcorder (videos & photos)
Before doing anything else, get a Sony camcorder recovery program here: Photo Recovery for Sony camcorder (compatible with Windows 8.1/8/7/Vista/XP), or Sony camcorder data Recovery for Mac (compatible with Mac OS X 10.10 Yosemite, 10.9 Mavericks, 10.8(Mountain Lion), 10.7, 10.6, or 10.5).
Download Camcorder Photo Recovery for Mac:
Download Camcorder Photo Recovery for Windows:
Note: Remember to save the scan results if you're going to recover the found files later, to prevent data loss.
Next, let's try the photo recovery for Windows together to check steps in detail.
Step1. Connect your Sony camcorder to the computer
To recover deleted videos from Sony camcorder is actually to recover them from the memory stick used on the camcorder. Hence, you can choose to directly connect your camcorder to the computer with a USB cable, or just connect the memory stick with a card reader. Take the way you like. Then launch the program and "Start" Sony camcorder recovery.
Step2. Scan lost files on Sony camcorder/memory stick
Here, your camcorder or memory stick will appear as a drive letter. Select it and click "Scan" to begin searching lost files from your device.
Step3. Preview and recover Sony camcorder photos, videos
After the scan, all recoverable files, including photos and videos, will be displayed and listed in categories. You can preview and check to recover them all with one click.
Note: Don't save the recovered data on your Sony camcorder or the source memory stick again. Find another place for it like on your computer or other external disk, for safety's sake.

attempts to solve the system expr of equations or inequalities for the variables vars.
Details and Options
- The system expr can be any logical combination of:
lhs==rhs equations lhs!=rhs inequations lhs>rhs or lhs>=rhs inequalities expr∈dom domain specifications {x,y,…}∈reg region specification ForAll[x,cond,expr] universal quantifiers Exists[x,cond,expr] existential quantifiers
- Solve[{expr1,expr2,…},vars] is equivalent to Solve[expr1&&expr2&&…,vars].
- A single variable or a list of variables can be specified.
- Solve gives solutions in terms of rules of the form:
{} no solutions {{x->solx,y->soly,…},…} several solutions {{}} solution set is full dimensional
- When a single variable is specified and a particular root of an equation has multiplicity greater than one, Solve gives several copies of the corresponding solution.
- Solve[expr,vars] assumes by default that quantities appearing algebraically in inequalities are real, while all other quantities are complex.
- Solve[expr,vars,dom] restricts all variables and parameters to belong to the domain dom.
- If dom is Reals, or a subset such as Integers or Rationals, then all constants and function values are also restricted to be real.
- Solve[expr&&vars∈Reals,vars,Complexes] solves for real values of variables, but function values are allowed to be complex.
- Solve[expr,vars,Integers] solves Diophantine equations over the integers.
- Solve[…,x∈reg,Reals] constrains x to be in the region reg. The different coordinates for x can be referred to using Indexed[x,i].
- Algebraic variables in expr free of the and of each other are treated as independent parameters.
- Solve deals primarily with linear and polynomial equations.
- When expr involves only polynomial equations and inequalities over real or complex domains, then Solve can always in principle solve directly for all the .
- When expr involves transcendental conditions or integer domains, Solve will often introduce additional parameters in its results.
- Solve can give explicit representations for solutions to all linear equations and inequalities over the integers and can solve a large fraction of Diophantine equations described in the literature.
- When expr involves only polynomial conditions over real or complex domains, Solve[expr,vars] will always be able to eliminate quantifiers.
- Solve gives generic solutions only. Solutions that are valid only when continuous parameters satisfy equations are removed. Other solutions that are only conditionally valid are expressed as ConditionalExpression objects.
- Conditions included in ConditionalExpression solutions may involve inequalities, Element statements, equations and inequations on non-continuous parameters, and equations with full-dimensional solutions. Inequations and NotElement conditions on continuous parameters and variables are dropped.
- Solve uses non-equivalent transformations to find solutions of transcendental equations and hence it may not find some solutions and may not establish exact conditions on the validity of the solutions found.
- Solve uses special efficient techniques for handling sparse systems of linear equations with approximate numerical coefficients.
- The following options can be given:
Cubics False whether to use explicit radicals to solve all cubics GeneratedParameters C how to name parameters that are generated InverseFunctions Automatic whether to use symbolic inverse functions MaxExtraConditions 0 how many extra equational conditions on continuous parameters to allow Method Automatic what method should be used Modulus 0 modulus to assume for integers Quartics False whether to use explicit radicals to solve all quartics VerifySolutions Automatic whether to verify solutions obtained using non-equivalent transformations WorkingPrecision Infinity precision to be used in computations
- With MaxExtraConditions->Automatic, only solutions that require the minimal number of equational conditions on continuous parameters are included.
- With MaxExtraConditions->All, solutions that require arbitrary conditions on parameters are given and all conditions are included.
- With MaxExtraConditions->k, only solutions that require at most k equational conditions on continuous parameters are included.
- With Method->Reduce, Solve uses only equivalent transformations and finds all solutions.
- Solve[eqns,…,Modulus->m] solves equations over the integers modulo m. With Modulus->Automatic, Solve will attempt to find the largest modulus for which the equations have solutions.

Operation Comics, Issue #2 - The Shape of Things
Operation Comics, Issue #2
In this second issue, Wonderguy encounters a villain named the Shape Master. He used to be Ernie Schwump, a shiftless worker at a government research facility, until he messed with some equipment he should not have. Now he is able to change shapes at will, and he decides to use this power for evil. It's up to Wonderguy, Claire, and Dillon to find his weakness, and put a stop to his shenanigans.
In this issue, the mathematics concepts of the volume of a rectangular prism, cylinder, and sphere are presented.
This issue was reviewed by Michelle Robertson for Readers' Favorite:
Rating: 5.0 stars
"The Shape of Things: Operation Comics #2" is written by Bruce Kessler. "The Shape of Things" was uniquely created as an adventurer-educational comic. The layout and design of the book is spectacular, filled with vibrant colors and descriptive pictures allowing the reader to follow the story simply by looking at the pictures. An everyday super hero helps citizens and law enforcement. A particular villain is involved in an unusual accident that causes him to be able to change shape and become different sizes as well. Children at an elementary school previously saved by the hero aided in helping capture this villain by using their own knowledge of a math lesson previously learned during school.
"The Shape of Things: The Operation Comics #2" is a fun adventurous story-comic book for children of all ages to enjoy. Children will not only indulge themselves in an adventure story but learn a lesson in math at the same time. This comic book is a great reference and tool for schools/educators/and parents. I was a little skeptical at first about reading a comic that was classified under "Children's Education". When I was growing up in the late 80s and early 90s, that was just not our typical comic genre. We found Batman and Superman as adventurous and courageous, maybe offering a life lesson from time to time but not really any academic lessons. "The Shape of Things" is creatively written and drawn making students think back to what they learned in class to help solve the mystery of the super villain. I loved that the work of solving the problem was drawn out and stated within the comic. I myself found it embarrassing that I did not remember the formula talked about within the comic. It was refreshing to see it on the pages, and I will be using it as a reference when I forget it, or my children have trouble in the future with a math lesson.

Named after a British unemployment benefit form, pop-reggae band UB40 were formed in a welfare line in 1978, and their multiracial lineup reflected the working-class community their members came from. The band consolidated its street credibility with political topics appealing to dissatisfied youth and got a boost from fans of the waning 2-Tone ska revival movement. Brothers Robin (lead guitar) and Ali Campbell (guitar, lead vocals) formed the centerpiece of the group, which also included bassist Earl Falconer, keyboardist Mickey Virtue, saxophonist Brian Travers, drummer Jim ...

at the Traverse Theatre, Saturday 9th August 2014
It feels odd to say of an oft-described "experimental" theatre-maker, but Men In The Cities is perhaps the most novelistic and literary piece of theatre I've seen this year. In the same vein as Mark Haddon's A Spot of Bother or Jonathan Franzen's The Corrections, Goode's monologue follows the lives of a number of people – specifically men in this case – over the course of the same period of time. We catch glimpses of lives, snatches of personality. Masculinity undergoing crisis, and masculinity undergoing breakthrough.

It was about fifteen below (Fahrenheit) when we got on the plane. They warned us that we'd want our coats on the jetway. They were right. We giggled a little bit at the "cold weather" warnings that everyone in NC was posting.
This was Thursday, as we traveled to ScienceOnline'09, and we meant me, my husband and Greg. I was half expecting PZ to be on the same flight, as there's only one direct afternoon flight between Minneapolis and Raleigh. We didn't find out until Friday that he wasn't coming.
Greg and Ben had geeked out about open source software over lunch, as fully expected, but we weren't seated together on the plane, so I got about half of a beta draft of a novel read for a friend. It would have been more, but the toddler on the lap next to mine protested being told to take a nap by banging his head into my arm. C'est la vie.
We could tell we were at a blogging conference as soon as we unpacked and headed down to the hotel bar. GrrlScientist was sitting at a table across from Bob O'Hara and Blake Stacey. The number of laptops out varied but was never less than one. Once we got drinks started and dinner ordered, everybody introduced themselves (except Blake, who had wandered away) and chatted for a bit.
The contingent who'd shown up early enough to attend the early bird dinner got back about the time we finished our food. Bora acted as the official greeter by telling us about his multi-stage Facebook research project. Even if you haven't met him yet, I'm sure you'll be unsurprised to know that he isn't quite so much human as a force of nature. (A very charming force of nature.)
We also met Danica Radovanovic about then, as well as the cutest overlords ever. We pulled another table up to the sprawl that was now half the bar and chatted with Grrl, Bob, Henry Gee and Alex Ley until it was time for bed.
I finally met Blake the next morning at the breakfast buffet and can attest, after having seen him eat, that he is indeed a grad student. Most of the people there on Friday headed out to the coffee cupping, but Ben and I had a project of indeterminate length to complete that day, so we hadn't signed up for anything.
While waiting for Lou, who was a necessary part of the project, Greg, Blake and I competed for title of former geekiest high school student. I'm not sure who won, but I know I lost. gg wandered by during the competition and introduced himself.
The project deserves its own post when it comes to fruition, so I'll only say that Lou was held up by traffic, that there are stories that will never be blogged by me (having next to nothing to do with us, just with the people we were working next to), and that we accomplished it in record time. Oh, and that I was reminded how simultaneously cool and strange it is to meet someone in person who you know pretty well, but only electronically. Particularly so under the circumstances.
Unsurprisingly (we were at a conference), getting back to the hotel meant heading back to the bar. Lou couldn't stay for the evening, but he wanted to say hi to a few people. We walked into the tail end of the Sblings pizza party.
The guard was changing as people prepared to go to the wine tasting, so we got waved over and sat down across from Zuska. I introduced myself to Dave Munger, trying to keep the fangirl suppressed. He asked, "Are you the same Stephanie who comments a lot on Greg's blog?"
"I…uh….yeah." I may have blushed. Zuska can probably tell you.
James Hrynyshyn held out his hand next. As I said my name again, someone on my left shouted an echo, which is how I met Scicurious. She…I'm not sure how to describe her, except to say that trying to keep up with her would probably tire Bora out and she's positively fabulous.
Somewhere in the middle of passing pizza around and getting drinks, ScienceWoman joined the party. When the subject of where we were from came up, she said, "You look like you're from Minnesota." I had no real good idea what that meant until she said, "I'm from [town in the region big enough for me to have heard of it]," and I thought, Yeah, okay. She looks like she's from the upper Midwest too.
More shuffling of seats ensued as more people headed toward the wine tasting and others got back from other errands. PalMD came in after a failed nap attempt and admitted that no, he doesn't sleep. Life is just too interesting. We talked for a little bit about high-maintenance people managing to attract each other and quitting the internet as a form of blood pressure medication.
Zuska and I chatted for a little bit after the wine tasters all left. We compared notes on getting used to the idea that other people were interested in the things we wanted to blog about and on finding readers in completely unexpected places. Talking about lurkers brought us to the concept of the paralysis of good intentions (although I didn't use the term until talking to Greg about a tangentially related topic later that night). I suspect some of it was a bit of dry run for her thoughts on the subject of allies.
Then we lost more people to the WISE event, and I got to listen in on a cool conversation between Greg and Greta Munger on the evolution of cognition. I can't do it justice, so I won't try to reproduce any of it here.
We did attend one organized event on Friday, since Dave recruited us to fill out their reservation for dinner at Serena. The place came highly recommended and didn't disappoint, although they were out of a few items. The conversation was even better. I kept bouncing back and forth between a conversation with Josh Rosenau and Salman Hameed and talking to Tom Levenson. The part I remember most clearly was discussing Bora's shock value post with Tom. We both felt it was two posts in one and each agreed with him fairly strongly on one point and disagreed with him slightly on the other–Tom and I each championing a different point–but I think we agreed with each other almost entirely. I haven't figured out the math on that one.
I had just ordered a second tall beer at the hotel when Dave insisted we come along. I'd finished it quickly and found a microbrew on the menu at Serena that I'd never seen at home, so I was not entirely sober by the end of dinner. I was back at the hotel at the bar, winding down and sobering up while talking to Greg when the squid and the lobster entered. Shortly thereafter, the sea shanties started.
That seemed a little weird, which told me I was tired. I've seen much, much stranger things. So I said good night and headed to bed. I had a nine a.m. session to run, so it seemed like the wis
e thing to do.
After all, the conference hadn't even started yet.

Creemos que es un gran proyecto,
pero no nos creas a nosotros...
De las reseñas de nuestra página de Facebook:
"Thank you so much Richard and your project and all those we met and the experience that we had yesterday (June 3rd) with you. Something very different and awesome. there are so many bars and restaurants new things are great. I hope you can meet your goal of integrating the pilgrims more with the locals and their culture in each passing pueblo. I think this is very important especially as the Camino continues to grow in popularity. Thank you so much. Oh yeah and we love the postcards! Thanks a ton! Saludos y que tengas suerte con el proyecto. Can't wait to see where it goes." -Charlie and Sam from New Jersey, USA
"I'm really impressed by the generosity and hospitality with which I was treated. The workshop was very entertaining and engaging. The project is at it's beginning and requires a lot of effort, the beginning is always the hardest but has great potential and with dedication and love put into it I feel that will be wonderful. Sending lots of encouragement for this project." Estela Morales Sales -
"I feel so lucky to have gotten a chance to stay at Project Brigid during my Camino. The place is clean, comfortable, and incredibly welcoming—I felt right at home. My friend and I got the chance to participate in a cultural workshop with locals and even went to a concert with them. It was the best night of our Camino and I feel so fortunate to have made such great friends through Project Brigid. Richard is doing such great work and I can't wait to see how far this wonderful project goes." -Hannah Truempi
I was lucky enough to learn about Project Brigid on the Camino de Santiago and its mission is inspiring. The cultural exchange approach is the best way to get locals, tourists and Peregrinos to learn from one another while creating a unique friendly and comfortable atmosphere. Thanks Richard for making my visit so amazing. All the best! -Miguel de Hoyos
Very neat and original Idea! It's very different from anything else I saw in the Camino! It was great to have met Richard, but also to have been able to meet other locals! The cultural exchange was a great learning experience, laid back, yet productive. The memories from the short time spent there will last a long time. Hopefully i'll find myself in the area in the future, can't wait to see what this will look like in the future! Great energy all around! -Joao Lopes
The generosity and warmth is unbelievable. Richard, your empathy and hospitality (and the food you cooked with so much love) still keeps me at it, and probably will for a long time. Thank you so much, and I would advise anyone passing by during their Camino to spend some time with Richard and Aloe Bar (spelled right?). Evigt tacksam! -Jessika Rosén
"During my camino I was lucky and met Richard and his cultural Project. I really enjoyed the workshop, which revolutionized how I cook my couscous now :) If you are open-minded you shouldnt miss to get to know Richard and his dog Alobar. I had a comfy night in a warm, clean room! One of my best decicions on the camino was to stop by. Thank you!" Alena Esstee
I had a super great time at Project Brigid ! Not only is Richard a really great host but his project and the way he brings the local community as well as the Piligrimos together is truly original and inspiring. I got to help out with the English classes and then was invited by the students for a drink at the local bar. Great experience ! I look forward to coming back again very soon! -Yves Elmir

Although many of us plan to wake up a couple hours earlier to fit in an early morning exercise before a busy day, when the time comes to actually get out of bed, this idea often becomes less appealing.
Here are some tips to help you get an early rise for exercise:
1) Go to bed earlier. To make up for the sleep you will be missing by waking up earlier, try going to bed a couple of hours earlier. Give your body some time to adjust to your new sleeping schedule, and before you know it, you will be able to get up without an alarm.
2) Try putting a motivational quote next to your bed (on your nightstand, perhaps). This way, when your alarm goes off you will be reminded of how much you want to reach your goals, and you may be less likely to hit the snooze button!
3) Get a morning workout buddy. By having someone to rely on you to work out, you will be less likely to blow off your workout. Think of it as a carpool. Just like you wouldn't leave your friend stranded without a ride to work, you shouldn't leave them stranded without some workout support. Having the support of a workout buddy can really push you to focus.
