That's me after my TEDxBerkeley last year. If I could do my talk again, it would be very different.
If it were tomorrow, I'd talk about how much more we could be doing in neuroscience if only some of the old walls were brought down. If only there was a way to bring together engineers, visual artists, designers, scientists, philosophers, mathematicians, etc. under one roof.
Not only do I want to see a TEDbrain, I want to see an entirely new research environment.
The mysteries of the brain aren't going to be solved with one, beautiful equation, or by a super-elegant experiment, or by a great new technique. The problem is bigger than that.
Understanding the brain isn't just a scientific problem, it's a data problem.
Granted there have been some amazing advances, but most cognitive neuroscience experiments are basically 1960s psychology experiments with better toys.
We can do better. We need to think bigger. We need to leverage the massive amounts of data we're collecting.
We need better data ontolgies. Better data mining. Better data visualization.
Right now, neuroscience in particular is undergoing a renaissance.
Hell, when you've got people like Sergey Brin who want to help spur on novel research, it strikes me as silly that a lot of the ways we're thinking about brain problems hasn't changed too drastically.
Neuroscience is fairly unique among the sciences in that it pulls in from so many different disciplines.
At Google last year, I gave a presentation titled, Computational Analysis Methods and Issues in Human Cognitive Neuroscience that was supposed to be about the difficulty we have in making the most out of the huge amounts of brain data that we collect from each of our subjects. We run very narrow experiments and throw out most of the information in our datasets by intentionally removing information via averaging, filtering, smoothing, a priori selection, etc.
Wasting data is stupid. But we all do it.
This winter, my wife and I put together brainSCANr in an attempt to synthesize and mine data from published research papers.
Tal Yarkoni and Russ Poldrack have done a more sophisticated job with PubBrain, which is a super cool, massive meta-analytic tool. Tal and Russ are doing an amazing job, but they're a rare breed.
My soon-to-be post-doc advisor, Adam Gazzaley, is doing awesome work in modernizing cognitive neurosciecne. At TEDxSanJose this year, he spoke about his work on taking neuroscience experiments out of the lab and into peoples' homes. About giving them at-home EEG and testing them using more natural stimuli (i.e., more "ethologically valid").
He and I have a really amazing project in the works.
The Bay Area is uniquely positioned at the interface of academic science and the intellectual tech communities. It would be the perfect place for a TEDbrain event.
The academic system around us is falling apart. Grant writing and politics make for a difficult environment for a researcher.
Great blog! I've been reading through many of the posts since I came across it the other day (beats studying!). Anyway, I'm starting a Msc in Neurosciece in September. I was wondering if there's any books you'd recommend on the issues of data you spoke of in this post. Any other summer neuroscience reading would be greatly appreciated! We'll continue to share your blog and others here in NUI Galway. Thanks for acknowledging us on Twitter!!
Hey, thanks for the kind words! I second the need for bringing new methods to bear on imaging (and other) data. To clarify though, I've had no real involvement in PubBrain; that's all Russ. :) I do have a separate project in the works in collaboration with Russ and some other people that should be released soon (hopefully!).
@Chris: Thanks :) Good luck with the MSc! Not really sure about any books about data... though I guess I'd say check out "Spikes" or "Rhythms in the Brain". If you're into EEG, "Electric Fields of the Brain" is also good.
Tal: Ooops! Sorry for lumping your project in with PubBrain!
word up yo. If I had a few billion laying around I'd hire you.
Thanks. Can I hold you to that?

42-acre Napa estate includes operating winery
GETAWAY 42-acre Napa estate includes custom home, operating winery

A one-bedroom, 2.5-bath home with 3,051 square feet of living space usually doesn't carry a price tag of $35 million, but not every one-bedroom, 2.5-bath home is like 6126 Silverado Trail in Napa.
The property, the Quixote Winery Estate, includes a home, a lake, a 20,000-gallon winery and a 27-acre vineyard on 42 acres in the east Napa Valley.
Built in 2000, the home on the property was designed by architect Howard Backen and sits on a private, man-made lake. It consists of three parts: a kitchen/dining room, a master bedroom with a bath and library and an office and garage.
"It was specifically designed for the previous owner," said listing agent Chuck Sawday of Pacific Union International. "It's got a bit of Asian flair because of Backen's trademark: doors that fit into the walls."
The home's design is built around the lake, and every room opens to the lake. "The three cantilevered terraces appear to float above the lake," Sawday said. "It's big and open for entertaining. The doors open to the lake with screens. It's very private."
The 20,000-gallon winery and winery building was designed by Friedensreich Hundertwasser, a Viennese architect, artist, philosopher, environmentalist and designer who Sawday said has designed wineries around the world.
This is Hundertwasser's only winery in the United States.
Hundertwasser and the owner decided to create a winery building that celebrates wine as something social and fun. The winery has a fun design with wavy lines, broken tiles and uneven floors. No two windows or doors are alike, and grass and trees grow on the roof. All of this is capped with an onion dome of gold leaf.
The vineyard has 27 acres of several varieties of grapes that are organically farmed.
According to Sawday, vineyard manager Michael Wolf said the soil at Quixote Winery Estate is more generous than in other parts of the Napa Valley. Each year, compost is used to freshen the soil, he said. The vineyard produces Quixote Petite Syrah, Quixote Cabernet Sauvignon, Panza Petite Syrah and Helmet of Mambrino Petite Syrah.
Price: $35 million
Size: 3,051 square feet

We are delighted to announce that The Princess Royal will be officially opening the new Passivhaus development for affordable homes in Wootton Wawen. Morton Wykes Kramer Architects are the driving force and designers for the scheme, working in partnership with Warwickshire Rural Housing Association (WRHA), Bouygues UK and Waterloo Housing.
In 2010 the government started a push towards building zero carbon housing by 2016. That deadline never came about due to pressure from the big house builders to scrap the idea, but that did not stop us from looking at new ways to design small houses for the average household. We soon came to the conclusion that we could not continue 'bolting on' more solar panels and insulation to existing designs to reach these targets. By reconsidering our approach to design and construction this allowed us to increase the efficiency of the buildings we developed and in so doing contribute towards reducing their carbon footprint.
The passivhaus standard was developed in Germany in the early 1990s by Professors Bo Adamson of Sweden and Wolfgang Feist of Germany. The passivhaus standard can be applied not only to residential dwellings but also to commercial, industrial and public buildings.
The building is super insulated and all cold bridges between the interior and exterior are carefully designed out. The building is incredibly air tight with careful attention in the design to prevent gaps in the construction where warm air can leak out of the building. Then fresh air is pumped continuously into the house passing across a heat exchanger ventilating the building, keeping it fresh and pollen free. This approach maintains the building at 20 degrees C all year at little cost.
Finally, care is given to the orientation of the buildings and to external solar shading. We aim to maximise on sunlight during winter days but we want to guard against overheating through those same windows in the Summer. To this end traditional external shades have been sourced to provide that shading. Finally we have taken a wholly British approach to the construction methods, adapting British construction techniques to Passivhaus design rather than using imported European methods.

Five Questions with Meagan Good
One of the stars of Mike Myers's new flick, The Love Guru (in theaters June 20), talks about the real sweet and funny side of her costar Justin Timberlake!
By May 13, 2008
Maury Phillips
THIS IS YOUR FIRST COMEDY. WHAT WAS IT LIKE FILMING COMPARED TO THE OTHER MOVIES YOU'VE DONE [WAIST DEEP, STOMP THE YARD]?
It's nice to do something different — it's a breath of fresh air. You would think, though, that comedy would be much lighter and easier. But really, a thriller or anything dramatic is much more in my comfort zone. Comedy is so different because everything is about timing.
WHAT ARE YOUR FAVORITE FUNNY MOVIES?
Anchorman is so funny to me. It's strange, though — the first time I saw it, I was so not into it that I wanted to walk out of the theater. The only reason I stayed was because I paid for it. I told my sister that, but she thought it was so good. Then, when I was filming Waist Deep, she came to the set and visited me. She brought the movie and watched it over and over every single day! It got to the point where I fell in love with it, and now it's one of my favorite movies.
WERE YOU EXCITED TO MEET AND WORK WITH JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE?
I had actually met him before, when he was on tour with 'N Sync. I've also run into him a couple of times in L.A. because we have some of the same friends. But I wasn't going to say anything to him about it. It's funny, because when you've met people before, you don't really want to be like, "Hey, do you remember meeting me...?" because if they don't, they'll just feel bad. That has happened to me, so when I saw him I was like, "Hey, nice to meet you," and he was like, "What are you talking about? Great to see you!"
THAT IS AWESOME! SO HE REALLY IS A NICE GUY?
Yeah, he's a sweetheart. He actually gave me some really good advice too. I'm such a people-pleaser, and it's really important to me that I don't go "Hollywood." You know, people thinking that I've changed just because I am getting more well known. I just want to stay humble and be the person I've always been. But in the pursuit of trying to make sure that happens, I've kind of overextended myself. I stress myself out by making sure I am really, really nice all the time, and sometimes people take advantage of that. But Justin told me, "All you can do is be who you are. You can't please everybody. And the people who are worth pleasing are not going to cause you to overextend yourself anyway." I've definitely found that to be true.
DO YOU THINK THE LOVE GURU IS GOING TO BE THE NEXT AUSTIN POWERS?
I think so. Mike Myers is really funny in it. It was so cool to see him make his character come to life. Romany [Malco] is hilarious. The whole cast is funny. When I heard that Justin was in it, I was kind of curious. I was like, "I wonder how that's going to work?" But when he came to set and put his spin on it, I was like, "This boy is hilarious!" I think he is one of the funniest people in the movie!

Sugar Bowl upsets 'Sunday Night Football' to hand off sweet ratings victory to ESPN
Ohio State wide receiver Chris Olave catches a touchdown pass in front of Clemson cornerback Derion Kendrick in the Sugar Bowl, the highest-rated program last week.
(Associated Press)
Jan. 7, 2021 2:37 PM PT
The Sugar Bowl telecast ended "Sunday Night Football's" nine-week streak as prime-time television's top-rated program and helped ESPN finish first in the weekly ratings race.
Ohio State's 49-28 upset of Clemson in a College Football Playoff semifinal Friday averaged 18.854 million viewers, the largest audience for a non-NFL sporting event and any cable program since LSU's 42-25 victory over Clemson in the College Football Playoff national championship averaged 25.583 million viewers on Jan. 13, 2020, according to live-plus-same-day figures released Wednesday by Nielsen.
ESPN's telecast of the afternoon College Football Playoff semifinal, Alabama's 31-14 victory over Notre Dame in the relocated Rose Bowl, averaged 18.372 million viewers.
Washington's 20-14 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles on NBC's "Sunday Night Football" averaged 16.547 million viewers, second among prime-time programs airing between Dec. 28 and Sunday.
Viewership was 9.9% less than the previous week's "Sunday Night Football" game, a 40-14 victory by the Green Bay Packers over the Tennessee Titans that averaged 18.374 million viewers.
The combination of four nights of bowl telecasts and "Monday Night Football" made ESPN the week's most-watched network, averaging 6.237 million viewers.
In a week when the major broadcast networks limited first-run entertainment programming to New Year's Eve and Sunday, NBC averaged 4.56 million viewers, ABC 4.13 million and CBS 4 million, all for 22 hours of programming.
Fox averaged 2.8 million viewers for its 15 hours of prime-time programming.
The week's nonsports program with the biggest audience was the 10-11 p.m. segment of ABC's New Year's Eve programming, which averaged 11.231 million viewers, seventh for the week.
The premiere of the Fox comedy "Call Me Kat" averaged 5.625 million viewers, 15th for the week, fifth among nonsports programs and fourth among entertainment programs.
The premiere of the Fox animated comedy "Great North" that followed "Call Me Kat" averaged 2.339 million viewers, 69th for the week and 42nd among entertainment programs. It was Fox's fourth highest-rated entertainment program behind "Call Me Kat," the season premiere of "Last Man Standing" and a rerun of "9-1-1."
Fox News Channel finished second among cable networks behind ESPN for the second consecutive week, averaging 1.734 million viewers. CNN was third, averaging 1.622 million viewers.
The Netflix romantic drama "Virgin River" was the most-streamed program on the four streaming services measured by Nielsen in the first full week that its 10-episode second season was available.
Viewers watched 1.793 billion minutes of "Virgin River's" 20 episodes between Nov. 30 and Dec. 6, according to Nielsen's latest streaming report, which was released Monday.
"Virgin River" was third the previous week, with 1.295 billion minutes watched. Its second season was released Nov. 27.
"The Crown" was second for the week after back-to-back first-place finishes in the first two full weeks its fourth season was available, with viewers watching 1.458 billion minutes of the 40 episodes of the Netflix drama about the life and reign of Queen Elizabeth II.
Nielsen measures viewership for Netflix, Disney+, Amazon Prime Video and Hulu.

When it comes to childproofing and child safety, the kitchen presents unique (but certainly not insurmountable) challenges.
It's been said, "the kitchen is the heart of the home," because families spend countless hours cooking and sharing meals, as well as, visiting, doing homework and playing games there. However, the kitchen can be a dangerous place for children if proper precautions are not taken.
From a very young age, children are interested in learning how to cook. Cooking is an important life skill for children to learn how to become self-sufficient as they grow in to adulthood. Take advantage of this time to encourage your child's natural curiosity, while also establishing the foundation of good nutritional habits and kitchen safety skills he will use for a lifetime.
There is no magical age that determines when a child is ready to learn. Start early, beginning with the basics of food handling and preparation. As they grow older, begin teaching how to prepare healthy snacks and eventually full meals.
Choose age appropriate projects; for example, older children may be able to follow a recipe to bake cookies, while younger children can help decorate the cookies.
Save time by cleaning as you go; keep all work surfaces clean and dry.
Teach kids how to properly use utensils; use knives by cutting away from themselves.
Teach kids how to properly handle raw foods; do not sample uncooked products that contain raw eggs, do not use the same serving trays for uncooked and cooked meats, wash produce before eating, etc.
When using the stovetop, use backburners whenever possible and always turn handles inward.
Use oven mitts to handle hot pans; avoid using towels which can drape and make contact with heating elements. Replace worn or torn potholders and mitts.
Keep things, like towels and paper, that burn away from heat sources.
Never place glass utensils, pans or bowls on hot surfaces; the glass can explode.
Use only microwave safe containers in the microwave; never use anything metallic, including aluminum foil, in the microwave.
Install drawer and cabinet baby proof locks and latches.
Store all knives and sharp objects in locked drawers; do not use countertop knife blocks.
Store all cleaning products, dish soap, plastic bags, medicines, alcoholic beverages, or other potentially hazardous items in upper cabinets. Don't rely solely on child safety cabinet locks, which toddlers can learn how to open, to keep your child from getting his hands on these items.
Install child safety outlet covers in all electrical outlets.
Install a specialty Child safety refrigerator latch, latches on dishwashers, and oven doors.
Make sure all items stored on countertops are pushed to the back and out of reach of young children.
Install child safe foam bumpers on sharp edges of counters or tables.
If your stove has front facing control knobs, install child safe stove knob covers.
Avoid using tablecloths or towels which toddlers can pull down on top of them.
If possible, use child gates or doorknob safety covers to restrict young children's access to the kitchen.
Keep a fire extinguisher in a location which is easily accessible in the event of an emergency, yet out of reach of young children.
Clean spills as they occur; serious injury can occur when people slip and fall on wet floors.
Make sure all kitchen rugs have rubber or non-slip backing.
Keep hot foods and liquids away from the edge of tables or counters and out of reach of small children.
Keep all medicines and/or household projects in locked cabinets or out of reach of children.
Do not store flammable substances near heat sources.
Install a smoke detector near kitchen.
Return from Child Kitchen Safety to Child Safety Devices.
Return from Child Kitchen Safety to My Child Safety.


What better way to entertain your friends than by serving them four kinds of ale, or Scotch, or your favorite libations, or just serve four friends one each.

Reaching for Yield in the Bond Market
BO BECKER
VICTORIA IVASHINA
type="main"> This paper studies reaching for yield—investors' propensity to buy riskier assets to achieve higher yields—in the corporate bond market. We show that insurance companies reach for yield in choosing their investments. Consistent with lower rated bonds bearing higher capital requirements, insurance firms prefer to hold higher rated bonds. However, conditional on credit ratings, insurance portfolios are systematically biased toward higher yield, higher CDS bonds. This behavior is related to the business cycle being most pronounced during economic expansions. It is also characteristic of firms with poor corporate governance and for which the regulatory capital requirement is more binding.

INSTRUCTIONS: Choose a passage. To copy and paste the passage to your commitment ceremony form, highlight the passage by holding down your cursor over the passage, and then press "Control" and "C" buttons at the same time to copy the passage. The next step is to go back to the form by closing this page, and in your vow section, click the vows area and press "Control" and "V" at the same time to paste it to the form. Then make any changes, if you would like. Remember to not let the vows field scroll. If it scrolls, then you have too many letters. We recommend that you and your partner choose different passages for the certificate.
1 How can I hinder or restrain my soul so that it does not yearn for yours? And how can it be lured to life apart from you? I know how everything that stirs me, stirs you too; How you and I are like a bow that's bound through with two strings, to give a single sound. O long sweet song!
2 I had always had dreams of the potential of my tomorrows, believing that anything was possible. Today, as I set out to live in this world and make a difference in it, it stirs my heart to know that you will be by my side. Your hunger for redeeming the promises of our tomorrows is as strong as my own.
3 Having found you, I have decided that there is no moment in my life more significant than this one. The moment I offer myself and all that I will become to you. May we share with each other, from this day on, the unending joy of growth and discovery.
4 Our love extends beyond earth, sea, wind, and flame. It is greater than who we are and meaningless without us. It is more powerful than our past, yet the foundation for our future. It has brought us here today to become one in the eyes of our family and friends, for all days to come. Our love is the essence of our lives.
5 Our choice is made. Our minds are clear and our hearts strong. This love means more to us than anything else in life. There is no person, precondition, or approval I value more than your love. There is no obstacle I would not overcome to reach you. I give myself to our union. I welcome you as my partner in life. May our love forever keep us strong.
6 Our love is a work of art, our greatest creation. It is an ongoing pursuit with range, diversity, scope; It is dynamic, ever-changing, and fresh. May it forever challenge, delight, and inspire us as the best works of art do. United, may we discover new facets and subtleties in this, our partnership, our unique and unending collaboration, from this day forward.
7 I promise to honor and cherish you above all others from this day forward. I bring to you this flower. It is a symbol of the love that is consecrated today. Let us always remember that it must be nurtured and given care to grow and thrive. We will nourish the flower of our love and give it all the care it requires. Do this with me and watch us grow.
8 We are joining here today because we love, respect, and honor each other. And because we are committed to sharing equally in both the triumphs and trials of the days to come. I take you as my partner. I offer all that I am in return, and pledge to remember, over every day of our partnership, why we unite here today. Join me in celebrating our love.
9 When you need strength, I will offer mine. When you need words of encouragement, I will listen and provide support. When you need solace and comfort and the silent speech of love, I will understand. I place you in my heart today, before all others, and I pledge to work from this hour forward to make our commitment a sound and challenging one.
10 You have captured my mind and soul, and I here commit them to our union. From this hour, may we surrender to one another, completely rejoicing in the power of our new partnership, secure in our own identities, and certain in our bond.
11 May we dare to dream dreams not yet dreamt. May we find constant reward and challenge as we pursue the ongoing adventure of learning who we are and where we want to go. May we always have a special sense of our mission in life together, and may we never tire of the endless possibilities of exploring our shared existence. Today I join with you.
12 When you came into my life, I found not an endless melody, but an ongoing harmony in which I can play my own part. Today we join our lives in harmony. The refrain is one of love, trust, and respect, a powerful theme that will never be concluded as long as we live together on this earth. Today I take you as my eternal mate, for you are my symphony.
13 With you, love means freedom. Freedom to love you without judgement and freedom to be yours while maintaining the very soul of me. So on this day, a day we choose together to meet in union before family and friends, I accept you as my partner, in the name of love. My most cherished freedom is now the freedom to love you for a lifetime.
14 My aim is not to change you, but rather to grow with you. I bring a stronger heart to this choice than I have brought to any other. But I sense that it will grow stronger still with days lived along side you. Stay with me. Learn with me. Live by my side. I will do the same faithfully and joyously.
15 I will base my life with you on love and caring. I will be considerate of your wishes and desires, and respect your integrity and intentions. I will support your dreams and goals, and strive to keep our lives with laughter and joy. Where there are troubles, I will stand with you. I bring to you the very best person that I can be, now and forever.
16 Our lives run in parallel, side by side, yet together. With continued love, friendship, trust, and communication, I take joy today in committing my life to yours. When you need me, I will be there, and when your strength fails you, may mine always be there for you. Side by side, step by step, may our journey together begin here, from this day forward.
17 Your love has provided me with vision and depth beyond the reaches of my years. Now with you at my side, my goals are clear, my hopes are high, and my life is full of purpose. I am ready and able to offer all that I am to you from this day forward. With aspirations tempered by realism and love limited by nothing, I join with you from this day forward.
18 Today I stand by you, proud and happy, of the special love we have found. Today we celebrate all that lies ahead. I promise to love, cherish, and honor you all the days of my life. I pledge to you faithfulness and friendship in good times and bad, in sickness and in health, from this day forward.
19 Today we join with family and friends to reaffirm our union. We do this grateful appreciation for what has gone before, and in loving anticipation of the years ahead. What I have promised before, I gladly promise again: to love you, honor you, and respect you. I give to you all that I have been, all I am now, all I will be. Let us celebrate our love.
20 Praise Him who performs mighty miracles, who made the heavens, and who planted the waters within the earth. Today, I praise the Lord for all of this, and for blessing me with your love. Pray with me that His loving kindness will follow us all of our days. I offer myself to you for all eternity. I will love, honor, and cherish you above all others.
21 How can I honor you more? I can honor, respect, and remain loyal to you forever. Accordingly, on this, our wedding day, I pledge eternity of our union to you, to our friends and family, and to God. let us spend our lives together.
22 It is written that those who walk in the light of God forever are blessed. They will rejoice in his perfect righteousness. Today we begin our journey. May we walk in the light of God forever. I have been blessed to share in your love, strive to be fair and honest, wise and true. May God always keep us and watch over our home.
23 You and I will live with the miracle. And miracles are possible where there is love. Love is the reason we are here before God. And I believe that today, God opens his hand to us. I believe that I was chosen to live my life with you from this day forward. Today I act on this belief before our friends and family, giving myself unendingly to you.
24 This act is one we share with God, who here joins two souls for all eternity, and who will know us from this day not as two but as one. May God always be gracious unto us, bless our days, and abide in our home. May His tender mercies solidify our union as we join beneath His hand today.
25 I open my arms to you in the promise of everlasting love, understanding, and hope for the tomorrows yet to come. May we relish the solidity of God who has entered our lives. In His infinite wisdom, He has brought us together today to be made as one. May we continue to grow in His sight as a couple.
26 I promise to be your partner in times of joy and in times of trouble, to provide for and support you in friendship, trust, and love. I promise to work with you to build our lives together. May we grow, our lives intertwined, our love bringing us closer. Let us create a home based on love. May it be a home filled with peace, with happiness, and with love.
27 Today as we Celebrate our Love in the presence of God, family and friends, I desire to share in your dreams, through the sunshine and rain, knowing rainbows will follow. I will be beside you, as the thorns of life become beautiful roses. With passion, understanding and hope, I am honored and thrilled to pledge my love to you, until the end of time.
28 May my heart be your shelter, my arms be your refuge, for when your strength alone will not carry you through, my strength will forever be there for you. I open my heart and arms to you with the promise of everlasting love, understanding, and hope for our tomorrows yet to come. Side by side, step by step, may we journey together through our eternity.

Radiant floor heating can be extremely cost-effective and comfortable. Hot water radiant floor heating, or hydronic systems, are the most cost-effective systems for homes or buildings in heating-dominated climates. Hydronic systems heat water in a boiler and pump the heated water through tubing underneath floors. Most find radiant floor heat to be one of the most comfortable types of heating, because heat is evenly distributed from the floor, warming up the feet and body first. The benefits to radiant floor heating are numerous and include increased levels of comfort due to the silent operation of the system. Radiant floor heat eliminates drafts and dust problems associated with forced air systems. Additionally, radiant floor systems (radiant floor heat or under floor heating) are invisible.
Geothermal systems are now being used with sustainable building. They use stored heat from the earth's crust in conjunction with heat pump technology to move and amplify heat instead of making heat. Geothermal systems are available in forced air or hydronic units, making them quite versatile for use in a radiant floor heating system. Radiant heating is becoming more popular because it is more efficient as a delivery method when compared to forced air, and it is also more comfortable. If you are heating a room with forced air, there is generally not a consistent temperature in that room, but with geothermal heating, the air being forced is not as warm as traditional forced air. If you are using geothermal heating, you will be more comfortable using it with radiant heating. A geothermal system can save 50-75% of the heating bill per year. There are several different ways to put radiant heating into the floor and all are generally compatible with a geothermal system.
With radiant heat, you feel comfortable at a lower thermostat setting, so your heating bills will be lower… a major plus! Radiant Floor Heating offers Temperature Zone Controls, which can reduce the amount of heat flowing to unused rooms.

Republican candidate for Corporation Commission Dana Murphy responds to mud-slinging by her Democratic opponent, Jim Roth.
(Oklahoma City, OK) Republican Corporation Commission candidate Dana Murphy says appointee Corporation Commissioner Jim Roth's attempt to smear her name with accusations from a 15 year old divorce is nothing but good ole' boy politics at its worst. Murphy says it's being done with hundreds of thousands dollars of campaign contributions from his special interest friends inside and outside the state.
Murphy says Oklahomans should demand answers from Roth about his ties to those donating to his campaigns for public office.
He is getting tens of thousands of dollars outside Oklahoma, from those in Georgia, Washington, D.C., Colorado, New York and California. Why?
He's taken tens of thousands of dollars from officers and CEOs from the largest public utilities in Oklahoma who have regularly had cases in front of him. What are they paying for?
He's received over a $100,000 in contributions that come from those at one large natural gas company. Didn't the same company oppose the coal fired plant that Roth voted against, one that would have saved Oklahoma consumers billions of dollars?
Why did Mr. Roth, as a sitting Corporation Commissioner, take campaign contributions during a time when Oklahoma law expressly forbids sitting Commissioners from taking contributions?
Why as a County Commissioner did he sponsor the building of a road and bridge that runs to the tree farm of one of his campaign chairman?
Do Oklahomans really want to elect a lapdog for the special interests or do they want an everyday Oklahoman just like them to stand up as a watchdog, someone who is not afraid to stand up to the powerful special interests?
It's time for Oklahomans to send the message that the Corporation Commission seat cannot be bought by special interest groups.
For more information about Murphy's campaign for Corporation Commission, please visit www.danamurphy.com.
As we've reported, and will continue to report, Jim Roth has been bought and paid for by Aubrey McClendon and Chesapeake, as well as his out-of-state donors. Dana Murphy will be our commissioner, and not a puppet for Aubrey McClendon and Chesapeake.

FiR Blog: Amplifying Voices
March 17, 2015 /in Amplifying Marginalized Voices /by waterstaff
By Rebecca Alpert and Thelathia "Nikki" Young
This post was first published on the Feminist Studies in Religion blog.
In December 2014 the leaders of Women's Alliance for Theology, Ethics, and Ritual (commonly known as WATER) gathered a group of fourteen together at a bucolic Catholic retreat center in Maryland. Our task was to respond to the challenge of "amplifying women's voices" in the LGBT religious movement. We looked a lot like you might expect: mostly cisgender lesbian with a smattering of genderqueers and others; mostly white with a few people of color; mostly Christian with a smattering of Jews; mostly older with a few young folks. We were a hodgepodge of people, channeling various groups and communities but representing only ourselves. As media specialist Ann Craig, one of the participants, noted, "It was a gift to be in the room." We are rarely afforded the luxury of two whole (mostly) undistracted days to "think and do." We "thought and did" in comfortable surroundings, thanks to the hospitality of the Sisters of Bon Secours and the wise design created by our WATER hosts that provided ample time for laughter, reflection, ritual and play.
In an age where so many conversations are conducted on email and Facebook and video conferencing, meeting face to face was a welcome opportunity for old-fashioned intimacy, both for renewing old connections and making new ones. We generated ideas for social media creations, writing retreats, networking when the Pope comes to the U.S. next fall, and we sowed seeds for myriad other potential connections. This way of amplifying our voices was only possible in what has come to be known in the LGBT world as a "safe space." Bishop Yvette Flunder of Oakland, CA affirmed the importance of such a space: "There are so few safe places for the kind of transparent dialogue that flowed from our mouths, hearts, and collective experience. The semi-structured time allowed an organic opportunity for wisdom informed by experience, to surface."
Seclusion and safety has limits, however. Had we been focused only on those networking possibilities we would have failed to use the opportunity that such a gathering really made possible. It helped us figure out how to use our differences to make a difference—to create not only a safe and hospitable space, but a brave one that allowed us, in the words of scholar participant Robyn Henderson-Espinoza, to "generate new contours of queerness together." This new queerness generates productive freedom, and according to Craig, "freedom will never again be self-indulgent."
Sharon Groves then of the Human Rights Campaign described it well:
Intersectionalism is routinely used as short hand to describe what is missing in justice movement work. What the WATER consultation did, however, was to model intersectional justice in practice. The conversations and subsequent actions around the Black Lives Matter movement seeded a robust conversation about what is at stake for those in our communities whose bodies are literally on the line of police brutality and how those of us who operate with race and economic privilege can be better supporters without negating responsibility or blindly reasserting our own privilege.
It was clear to all of us, almost from the moment we gathered, that while we wanted to be responsive to the task at hand, and our networking would amplify our voices in the LGBT religious movement, there was an elephant in the room. We could not work in safety and seclusion on LGBT religious issues alone when the reality of anti-Black police violence was staring us in the face. Mary E. Hunt, one of the WATER organizers, quickly shifted gears, noting that "having a concrete, articulated starting point is key" and that hers, and ours "has changed, grown" beyond the voices of "women." Participant Marianne Duddy-Burke of DignityUSA remarked that this shift was important for her and for her community:
"Had I not been there, my organization clearly could have missed the opportunity to be part of the "Black LGBT Lives Matter" initiative, which has had a tremendous effect on our largely white, predominantly male constituency already, and which promises to have continued impact. As an advocacy movement based out of worship communities, we were given an opportunity to really examine how a very current issue can be brought into the heart of our work."
Solidarity work is productive in a variety ways. As Kate Stoltzfus, WATER staff associate and one of the gathering's youngest attendees, noted, "Our discussion began to outline the start of progress: acknowledging privilege, learning to listen (really listen), seeking both safe and uncomfortable spaces setting clear goals for dismantling the power structures, and finding others with whom to do such work." Our first act of solidarity was to sign on and send out to our networks a statement that was written, in part, at our retreat by two of the participants. And there will be more to come.

We had about six inches of snow while the Cherokee was in our driveway and negotiating all this white stuff was fun. Buy Retin-A Without Prescription, Normally, I get a rear-wheel drive convertible in this kind of weather, but this time I lucked out.
Besides snow, we had outside temperatures in the single digits, thanks to the Polar Vortex (another name for damned cold weather). The heater worked hard, but kept us toasty war. Both the driver and front passenger have heated seats, and these were almost too warm at times.
The front seats were comfortable and offered good side support. Under the passenger seat is a small storage area that is useful if you have to park the car and you don't want valuables to be seen from the outside.

I like the redesign of the Jeep Cherokee, although I have read some complaints. The Cherokee is just as capable as any other Jeep and It looks a lot better as well.

Recently we started using a custom script to install and configure FIM in a consistent manner. During more than a few manual installs, I've been asked to install FIM into a drive or directory other than "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Forefront Identity Manager\2010," so I knew the script would need to have this capability. After finding and reading the "Unattended Installation of FIM 2010 R2" post, I spent a great deal of time searching the internet which led me to the not well documented option, INSTALLDIR="" that allows the unattended install of FIM components to drives or directories other than the default.
Maybe, this something you already knew, but I thought I'd share it, as it wasn't an obvious choice.
So now we use the INSTALLDIR="" option in the script to install FIM components where we want them.


Another six months have passed. These first months of this year have been insane. I never imagined so many things would happen in my personal life. I never thought I would make it this far either. Welcome to memory lane.
So the start of January was basically the start of many problems. I got really close to a church friend at the end of last year and I was ready to come out to him. And I did. I kind of new that would be the start to our down fall as friends. It was a series of emotional and spiraling events that soon led to us drifting apart.
But alas, I am getting to ahead of myself. In February I had many appointments with my mom and her doctor. We are still trying to get her final appointment for her surgery right this moment. Also, in February I quit the second job I was working at, the call center. I remember quitting for 2 reasons. Around this time I started listening to the voices inside my head, and all the bad things that they had to say.
Then, after waiting another month we finally got to see the surgeon who told us we had two options in regards to my moms reconstruction surgery. I started to see cracks in my friendship with my best friend. Looking back and reading everything I wrote really makes me reflect that sometimes it wasn't even his fault. I was under a lot of stress and I wasn't handling it how I should have, he probably wasn't either.
April was a real life changing month for me. I even planned on doing something that could have changed it for ever. Now more than ever I am glad I didn't. Even though I was alone with no one to help me, I was there, and I saw my worth. I also new I needed to be paid more. Or maybe get a new job and move far away. This was the month I also added two family members to our family. I love them with all my heart, but they will never replace my first dog's love.
As spring went into full bloom so did I in the dating world. I was here and I was there but never did I get to love. I took some risks and had some fun, but ultimately ended up with a broken heart. But nonetheless, that didn't stop me from having the time of my life on this world!
So now we're in June. My month. The month I was born in. Time flies by. I remember the day I stopped talking to my best friend. But I also remember the day I forgave him. I tried to be social, I successfully completed one of them and failed another. But that's ok, there are many more times to come.
So as for the rest of this year, I can be assured that there will be many more heart breaks. Many more adventures, tears, and I know I'll have to forgive and forget. I know I'll have to learn from my mistakes. And everything will be here, on my journal.


Parallax effect in websites is the latest innovation in technology of website development. This technique delivers the graphic effects which are quite engaging and exciting to look at. In a parallax website, the background images move slower than the foreground images which makes the background images appear far away. This technology was first used in making 2D video games. Parallax websites are one page sites unlike standard websites which are multi page. To get a parallax site designed, one needs to approach an expert in the field of website development like iBrandox in Gurgaon, which has delivered quality sites with its expertise in the industry. Like any other technology, a parallax site also has some pros and cons attached to it.
It helps to increase the credibility of the organization. Visitors who visit the site appreciate it because of the innovative viewing experience. A site got designed form an experienced agency will be high in usability and will strike a balance between information and appearance.
A parallax site is able to evoke curiosity among users. If the site is really interesting, the user feels rewarded when upon scrolling the site, he experiences some intriguing and exciting effects.
For a site which does not have lot of information to share, a parallax site can work best with its graphic effects. Floating images will enhance the appearance of the web page giving it a dramatic look.
A good parallax site will keep the visitors engrossed for long. It is important to design an interactive site which will lead to engaging users for more time as compared to a standard website.
Longer stay on the site increases the traffic and it also increases ranking on Google. Both will help to make the site popular.
Parallax effect is not just limited to giving 2D effects but it can also be used to add effects such as enlarging the icon or movement of the icon.
Parallax sites are fully loaded and may face problem to generate the effect and load the images on slow internet connection.
It is at times not appealing for people to simply scroll down a long page.
Since parallax sites are single page sites, they are not SEO friendly.
Use of a single URL in a parallax site affects its search-ability as there is no internal page linking in such type of sites.
Parallax sites are at time not compatible with mobile phones and thus these sites do not work perfectly in their mobile versions.
A parallax site can without any doubt create an impression which will last longer in the minds of the visitors. It is a great way to exhibit your creativity and devotion to new technology. If you decide to get one built for your organization make sure it's a great one as you would hardly get those search engine visitors for your site.
