The consciousness-altering effects of Salvia Divinorum are likely due to its action on the claustrum and cortex.

This theoretical article aims to bring together three findings and ideas relevant for the understanding of human consciousness: (1) Crick's and Koch's ideas on the central role of the claustrum as a directing center crucial for subjective conscious experience. (2) The wealth of subjective reports describing the severely consciousness-altering effects of salvinorin A, a κ- opioid receptor agonist and the active ingredient of the plant Salvia divinorum. (3) The high density of κ-opioid receptors in the claustrum. Taken together, these facts lead me to hypothesize that the consciousness-altering effects of salvinorin A, the main active compound of Salvia divinorum, are due to a κ-opioid receptor mediated inhibition of primarily the claustrum and, additionally, the deep layers of the (mainly prefrontal) cortex. The high consciousness-altering potency of salvinorin A and the high density of its target, the κ-opioid receptors, in the claustrum give added weight to the ideas emphasizing the role of this brain area in human consciousness. I discuss opportunities for experimental consciousness research arising from the proposed role of salvinorin A in modulating claustral function.
Keywords: Claustrum, consciousness, Salvia divinorum, salvinorin A, κ opioid receptor
Introduction and Results
Crick and Koch's ideas on the role of the claustrum
The late Francis Crick proposed the idea that human subjective consciousness is brought about by the activity of a limited number (~105) of neurons (Crick, 1995). These neurons need to fulfill a number of criteria: 1. They must be central in the connection-scheme of the human brain, not to close to primary sensory or motor areas. 2. They must involve a number of sensory areas, since consciousness integrates several sensory modalities. 3. Their activity must be correlated with conscious experience, even in situations where it is dissociated from direct sensory input (for instance during the perception of visual illusions). The identity of these neural populations will change with changing contents of the conscious experience. Possibly a brain region acting as a "director" of this process is needed. In Crick's very last paper, he and Koch argued that the claustrum is an ideal candidate for this role (Crick & Koch, 2005). The claustrum, is a layered brain region in-between the insular cortex, piriform cortex and the caudate-putamen (Crick & Koch, 2005; Franklin & Paxinos, 2007). It is highly connected to a number of cortical areas in a non-trivial, mostly reciprocal manner. This strong and complex interconnectivity with the cortex makes it a prime candidate for the role of the "director" of the "conscious field" (Searle, 2004), "dynamical core" (Tononi & Edelman, 1998a; Tononi & Edelman, 1998b) or "neuronal workspace" (Dehaene & Changeux, 2004). Ways to test this hypothesis fall in two groups: One would be to conduct recordings of claustral activity in conscious humans. This possible, but challenging due to the small size of the claustrum, which presents difficulties for interpreting the results obtained with non-invasive imaging methods (functional magnetic resonance imaging, positron emission tomography). Invasive recordings in non-human primates and other mammals are possible, but in this case it is impossible to obtain verbal reports of the subjects' experiences during the recordings.
An alternative approach would be a selective pharmacological manipulation of the claustrum. I argue that salvinorin A, the active compound of the psychoactive plant Salvia divinorum, provides the opportunity for such a manipulation.
Consciousness-altering effects of salvinorin A
Salvia divinorum is a plant native to the Oxaca region in southern Mexico which is traditionally used in the Mazatec culture as inebriate in religious and spiritual contexts (Cheyene, 2006; Siebert, 2008). It is smoked or orally ingested. Its active compound, salvinorin A, is the substance with the lowest known effective concentration for mind-altering effects (Siebert, 1994). Salvinorin A is a κ-opioid receptor agonist (Ansonoff et al., 2006; Chavkin et al., 2004; Roth et al., 2002). Subjective effects at low doses are described as disorienting, confusing, even frightening or alternatively also as subtly calming and meditative. The unpredictability of the effects is one of their prominent and most interesting features. Subjective effects at higher doses are often described as dissociative to an extreme degree. Subjects often report a loss of the awareness of their current surroundings and, while fully conscious, believe that they are in different locations which they remember, sometimes from decades in the past. Space is often distorted and subject sometimes experience states which are described as complete non-spatial
existence. These experiences are described as interesting, even life-altering, but typically as unpleasant. They are clearly distinct from the experiences brought about by classical, serotroninergic, psychedelics like LSD and psilocybin. In general, verbal reports of experiences induced by the consumption of high doses of Salvia divinorum describe a most profound alteration of consciousness, even more fundamental than those induced by these classical psychedelics (Arthur, 2008; Siebert, 2008). How does this effect arise from the action of salvinorin A in the brain?
The effects of κ-opioid receptors and their distribution in the primate brain
The κ-opioid receptor, the target of salvinorin A, is a g-protein coupled neurotransmitter receptor. Upon agonist binding, it activates phospholipase C, which then sets off an intracellular IP3 and cAMP based 2nd messenger cascade (Law et al., 2000). This second messenger cascade couples the agonist binding to downstream cellular effects (Law et al., 2000). Known effects are the reduction of presynaptic neurotransmitter release, via a reduction in N-type calcium current (Tallent et al., 1994), and a decrease of cellular excitability, via an increase of the inward rectifier potassium currents (Henry et al., 1995). The effects of κ-opioid receptors are thus inhibitory, both by reducing the amount of input a neuron is receiving and by reducing the response to that input.
In human brains, κ-opioid receptor expression was measured by mRNA in situ hybridization (Peckys & Landwehrmeyer, 1999). High densities were found in the striatum, hippocampal dentate gyrus, deep cortical layers (V and VI, with more expression in the prefrontal than in the occipital cortex) and, especially, in the claustrum. The claustrum was the only brain region in which nearly all cells were labeled with dense to very dense labeling density. In the macaque monkey brain, κ-opioid receptor activity was measured by monitoring the agonist- induced binding of a radioactively labeled GTP-analogue ([35S]GTPγS). Strong activity was found in the limbic and association cortex, ventral striatum, caudate, putamen, globus pallidus, claustrum, amygdala, hypothalamus and substantia nigra (Sim-Selley et al., 1999). The authors report that "A very high level of κ1-stimulated [35S]GTPγS binding was observed in the claustrum, with an area of especially high stimulation in the ventral claustrum, adjacent to the amygdala.". While there was evidence for κ-opioid receptor activity in other brain regions as well, the densities were significantly higher in the afro mentioned regions.
This presents us with a number of candidate brain regions for the consciousness-altering effects of salvinorin A. The inhibition of each of these brain regions alone, or in any combination, could be responsible for its consciousness-altering effects. While all brain regions are important for brain function, and ultimately the survival of the animal, not the activity of all of them might be neural correlates of consciousness. Excluding some regions will be somewhat speculative due to the still incomplete characterization of the complex functions of these brain regions. There is nevertheless a sizeable body of work available in systems neuroscience which makes it possible to narrow the candidate list down. The striatum, caudate, putamen, substantia nigra and globus pallidus are commonly considered to be part of an integrated system involved in action selection, reinforcement learning and motor control, and are not likely neural correlates of consciousness (Wilson, 2004). The hypothalamus is considered to be responsible for the regulation of metabolic processes as part of the autonomous nervous system. It is also an unlikely candidate for a role in consciousness. The amygdala is a brain region thought to be involved in emotional processing, such as fear and fear conditioning (Phelps & LeDoux, 2005). While many subjects report a component of fear in their Salvia divinorum evoked experiences, this is separate from the consciousness-altering effects I am discussing here.
This leaves us with the deep layers of the (mainly prefrontal) cortex and the claustrum as relevant salvinorin A target areas. Most likely, these are the brain areas which, when inhibited by salvinorin A, give rise to the intense consciousness-altering experiences reported by users of Salvia divinorum. The unusually high κ-opioid receptor density in the claustrum makes it a particularly good candidate target area.
I hypothesize that the consciousness-altering effects of salvinorin A, the main active compound of Salvia divinorum, are due to a κ-opioid receptor mediated inhibition of primarily the claustrum and, additionally, the deep layers of the (mainly prefrontal) cortex. This hypothesis supports the role of the claustrum in human consciousness as proposed by Crick and Koch. It is a testable hypothesis, by non-invasive and invasive recordings in humans and non-human primates under the influence of salvinorin A, respectively. Furthermore, it opens new avenues for experimental consciousness research. One open question is the exact role of the inhibition of the claustrum and the cortex in bringing about the changes experienced under the influence of salvinorin A. Other open questions are the time course of its action and the difference in neural activity between high and low doses which are experienced in a qualitatively different way. Lastly, if the hypothesis about the claustrum's role as a "director" of cortical activity is correct, then claustral inhibition by salvinorin A should lead to a massive alteration of cortical synchronization patterns.

"In retrospect, it was a natural progression. The counterculture was rapidly exhausting existing intoxicants, and the creation of new drugs took a considerable amount of expertise and luck. Even then the compounds were course, imperfect, and not without side effects. Ultimately, the desire for increasingly novel experiences drove the use of neuroscience toward recreational purposes. Those individuals who would have formed roving bands of homeless hippies in the 60s now form rouge "research groups," largely outside the reach of law or even rigorous science, who's subject of investigation is of course entirely their own minds, and who's objective is undefined."

I built some goggles to experiment with strobe light induced hallucinations. At the moment they are driven by an arduino. Each eye has a single very bight 3 channel LED inside a diffusor ( well, cut up and glued back together ping pong ball ). Each eye has a 24 bit color range, courtesy of the arduino PWM output pins. The arduino program can load a series of strobe light patches, which are stored in the arduino EEPROM memory, and played back as a sequence. It entertains me. My friends have reported rather complex hallucinations under the influence of this device. I however have only been able to experience simple geometric hallucinations.

notes : modular conscious entities
Once conscious systems are virtualized, we will have the ability to do some unusual things, for example : separate two halves of the brain and putting them on different tasks, or turning off inhibition at will. Such events happen already, and are caused by damage to or sugical manipulation of the human brain. For a virtual conscious system ( or a heavily modified biological neural system ), we should be able to recreate these events reliably and reversibly.
Furthermore, it may be possible to swap bits of different individuals. I am not sure if I mean individuals in the human sense or individuals as conscious software entities. A mature human consciousness would not take well to having its frontal lobe swapped out for that of another person, but it may be able to handle, with practice, swapping out sensory-motor modules. If you train modules from the start (from birth, or from first awakening for a software entity) to be able to be swapped, we could create a set of self assembling processing modules that could instantly adapt to new problems. However, If you try to use bits of "people" in this framework they might go insane rather quickly.
What might be more feasible would be extremely high bandwidth communication between normal humans, using implantable electrode arrays. It would be like using a language more expressive than any spoken language. Depending on exactly how you link together separate individuals, you may get radically different results. For instance, wiring one man's motor cortex to another man's frontal lobe would seem like a very bad thing, since having your super-ego controlled by your friend's left toe is never a good idea. A person would probably be able to use a direct sensory-motor link though, since this would more closely resemble normal communication, like speech.
It is also possible that strong, human level, artificial intelligence will first emerge from such a modular framework. I am not extremely familiar with the state of the art in software AI, but I believe that as the field progresses the training of a software solution for a task will become a significant part of the development process. I can imagine the day that someone takes a group of pre-trained software AIs and links them together under a common executive module, and accidentally creates something we might call conscious.

More Hallucinations
This video expands upon the model from my previous post. It now incorporates connections between orientation selective cells in the visual cortex. If I made this right ( and I'm not sure I did ), cobweb like lattices of lines should be stabilized. I couldn't generate a proper map of the orientation selectivity in visual cortex, so I just seeded random orientation selectivity. This is not physically realistic and probably changes the results. The equations are the same as in my previous post, but with a new term Eorient added into du/dt which accounts for input from other orientation selective cells.
The degree of excitation from orientation selective connections at some point r is proportional to the sum over the activation of all cells in the neighborhood of r, where input is weighted as a Gaussian function of distance, and is strongest when both cells are tuned to the same orientation, and cell r lies along the direction of the preferred orientation of cell r' . U and Theta are fields ( represented at floating point matrices in the code ). The bold subscripts represent particular points in the filed. U represents the synaptic activation ( correlated to neuron firing rate ), and Theta represents the preferred stimulus orientation for a cell.

15 Yr Old's Calls For HIjab Emoji, Gets It
Publish Date: Nov 15 2016 3:24PM
German girl Rayouf Alhumedhi's Hijab emoji is among various other campaign had campaigned for
London: The consortium that approves emojis has signed off new ones, including a woman wearing a hijab, woman breastfeeding a baby and a person doing yoga.
The new emojis are likely to arrive on smartphones next year after Unicode, the international consortium that sets their global standards, proposed the 51 icons.It will take the total number of the cartoon images, which are increasingly being used to replace words in text messages, to 1,724, The Telegraph reported.
The teen who made it possible
Rayouf Alhumedhi, a 15-year-old from Germany, had campaigned for the inclusion of the character wearing a hijab emoji, proposing it to Unicode after realising there was no emoji to represent her. The Saudi teenager living in Germany had sent a proposal for a new headscarf-wearing emoji to The Unicode Consortium, which develops the popular characters. 15-year-old Rayouf Alhumedhi from Berlin said she was chatting to friends on Whatsapp when everyone picked an emoji to represent themselves. That's when she realised there wasn't one that adequately represented her, as a headscarf-wearing woman. She did some research and was delighted to find anyone can submit new emoji concepts the non-profit. When Alhumedhi emailed Unicode about her idea, they responded by helping her draft a formal proposal for the consortium's consideration. Alhumedhi, whose own proposal was accepted by Unicode, tweeted that she was "so excited" by the news.
The other emojis coming your way
Among the list of introductions are 'person with headscarf', 'breastfeeding', 'bearded person', 'older adult', reflecting the current lack of grandparent icons. Other emojis that will be released in 2017 by Unicode are a head exploding, a face with open mouth vomiting and a man and woman practising yoga, The Guardian reported. The new list, Unicode 10, adds to efforts to make emojis more diverse. Smartphone makers have included a variety of skin tones, hair colours and cultural and religious references in recent years following claims that they reinforce stereotypes. Google recently called for more emojis that reflect women in the workplace, while Apple added male and female versions of some emojis after complaints that many of the female- focused cartoons featured activities such as cutting hair. The other new emojis proposed include a zombie, a vampire, a person holding their finger to their mouth, and a T-Rex.
Unicode, which represents the major technology companies, proposed a shortlist of the new emojis. They are typically approved in the following summer and are likely to be added to smartphones in roughly a year's time. In the coming weeks, Apple is set to add the emojis from the previous set, Unicode 9. They include emojis for facepalm, selfie, a clown and a pregnant woman. PTI
Why an emoji?
Emoji is the fastest growing language in the world. There have been several high profile calls for Unicode to make the characters more diverse, as well as give female emojis other occupations that their current incarnations as princesses.
What emojis would you like to propose? Would you want something that represents students? Register and share your ideas.
There is no emojis to represent our MPs and Representatives . If some funny emoji to represent MPs and teachers it will make chatting funny .
Not a bad idea,the hijab emoji. And yes, there should be some emojis to represent teenagers also. Showing their various feelings.
Emojis are a creative way to express ideas. There should be emojis which represent students, like a student in uniform and emojis of nerdy and artistic students.
Kashish Verma Bharti Public School Swasthya Vihar
I would like to demand an emoji forevry profession like a teacher, a lawyer, a businessman etc. And I would definitely like a student emoji to be introduced as well.
E. Deepak Sen Bethel Mat Hr Sec School
Some e-mojis representing different subject books like science, economics etc would be very useful while chating .
Mayank saboo BHARTI PUBLIC SCHOOL (SWASTHYA VHR)
Emojis are the best way to express our idea digitaly. This help us understand the situations about of the sender. As there were no emojis before of HIjabit was an great creativity. Emojis of student should be introduce.
Brenda Marshal PADUA HIGH SCHOOL-MANKHURD
Hijab emoji is not a bad idea..
SHUBHAM BANSAL RYAN INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL
its very funny and crazy to use emojis in our chatting life. it gives a better idea about the emotions or feelings the person want to share. And these emojis can also be used as it would be more funny.
Hafsa Malwat F D SCHOOL
I would like to have emoji who present that a child in school dress is inspiring people to save Environment.
Vishakha Bhalla BOSCO SR.SEC.SCHOOL( PASCHIM VIHAR)
Emoji is a strong way to communicate if you are not in a mood to write .. I would like to have the emojis that have scientific and business connections and could help class Xth to XIIth students like symbols or constants represented in a funny way.
DIWANSHI SHETIJA BHARTI PUBLIC SCHOOL (SWASTHYA VHR)
I would like to propose emojis of people in different dresses worn all over the country.It will show unity in diversity.
Nishi Upadhyay BHARTI PUBLIC SCHOOL (SWASTHYA VHR)
There should be emoji of our soldiers so that it can remind us every day how valuable they are to us.
saishalini Bethel Mat Hr Sec School
The emojis are the one which expresses our feelings strongly and I feel the emojis related to politics can be introduced.
Emojis in subject areas like science, commerce, and humanities should be introduced so people can represent themselves better. Emojis in politics would also enable us to criticize our leaders on their decisions.

IT SO happens that Martyn has just released Sapphire (Island L38276), a self-produced, reggae-soaked album recorded at Compass Point Studios, Nassau.
Martyn's career matches his unpredictable personality. He is a brilliant guitarist with a distinctive, instrumental vocal style but he often seems unable to focus his considerable skills. Phil Collins produced his Glorious Fool LP in 1981 (with Clapton guesting on one track) but it didn't sell. The same fate befell the aptly-named but equally meritorious Well Kept Secret a year later and Martyn, who had ended a long association with Island records to try his luck with WEA, took a break from recording.
He has bounced back with his old label and Sapphire but, like the previous efforts, it is an erratic recording. It would be an excellent after-dinner album played at low volume - Martyn spends most of his time in a pleasurable reggae haze, his smoky vocals and the repetitive rhythms nudging the songs gently along, with occasional forays into more driving tempos.
The title number is a lush, seductive ballad, with pulsing rhythmic and synthesiser patterns, while his rendition of Over The Rainbow has a terrific vocal over an effective rhythm arrangement (unfortunately, too close to The Cars' Drive for comfort).
Fisherman's Dream, an appealing ballad with a folk feel, features a brief, economical guitar solo that prompts the question: why has Martyn relegated his guitar to a rhythmic supporting role?
Other tracks of note are Mad Dog Days, with a chopping rhythm and sinuous saxophone, and the atmospheric Rope-Soul'd, a jazzy reggae hybrid with spare bass, piano and sax lines and a vocal that recalls the late Nick Drake's detached, dreamy style.
If you took the best tracks from Martyn's last four or five albums you would have a very good record. He thanks Robert Palmer for his help on Sapphire - perhaps with Palmer in the producer's chair next time, John Martyn will record the great album he always has threatened but never achieved.
The Age is a Melbourne based newspaper. This review appeared in the Records section on Thursday 4 April 1985. It is part of 'New Notes' by Mike Daly.


Welcome to my travel and SCUBA Diving blog!

I have ushed and gushed about our Anniversary for almost a solid week, now.
Honestly, the past several months have been cloudy with a side of mild depression. If you've been there, you know...it is hard to sincerely feel anything.
it feels so good to actually be excited about something again!!!
I have never before in my life had so many questions (BABIES? HEALTH INSURANCE? JOBS?), but I am equally as confused intrigued as I am happy, and that's mostly because of Tim.
Sometimes, the call to write is so strong, I can feel it in my teeth. It keeps me up at night. I am a hoarder of words, and a lot of those words get all jumbled together.
The other day, I had this quote rolling around in my head. I just couldn't put it all together.
and there it was...and I just thought it was so fitting.
Happy Anniversary, Timothius G. Young. You're my guy.
i read your "about this blog" page and i have to say, it was like you were writing out my thoughts. it is great to have an account of something of where we are in life...even greater when we can look back and see if what we did in life had a purpose.
thank you for visiting via the marriage mondays link! :) following back.
Thanks, Rhea! I am trying to do a MUCH better job of documenting...holidays, vacations, and such. Busy, Busy! :) Thanks for stopping by!
It's Madness, Madness, I tell you!

Sophia Skiles is a theater performer and theater educator. She has performed in work directed by many including Anne Bogart, Richard Foreman, Mary Zimmerman with strong ties to Ma-Yi Theater and National Asian American Theater Company.
With over 20 years of experience in acting and teaching, Sophia taught in public schools through out NYC, pre-college students at Northwestern.
Henry VI has an all Asian cast, a first of its kind. The show went on between August 11 and September 8 in New York City, after weeks of rehearsal among the cast members. The cast members rehearsed 3.5 hours each night including weekdays and weekends. Sophia has two children. The commute to and from New York City would have been tough enough.
It's not easy to be an artist, and especially challenging if you are Asian American. Hollywood's hiring freeze: Female, Black and Asian directors rarely worked in 2017 films" - according to this article. Asian actors are often an after-thought with very few roles to consider.
[05:00] Who is the perfect audience for the show?
[07:00] What is the play about and how did you manage to get that all-Asian cast?
[09:00] How long have you been an artist? Can you share a bit of your background and story behind theatre?
[11:00] You've been pursuing theater since high-school. What's your role as a teacher?
[13:00] What intrigued you to write about the casting process?
[17:00] What's your take about Asians being underrepresented in theater plays and movies?
[20:00] The show is a lot about humanity and vulnerability. Is that on purpose? What's your take about that?
[23:00] Being an Asian artists or producer is tough in the US. It's hard to get hired and to stand out. What has been your experience in that regard?
[28:00] Can you summarize the plot of the play?
[32:00] The show is provoking us to think about the current role/identity of the Asian culture within America and social differences. What are your thoughts on that?
[35:00] America is also a land of opportunities, food, stories and people. Networking. What has been your experience and how can we make sure we make the most out of that?
[36:00] How are the rehearsals and how do you do to actually remember so much text? How's the support from other artists?
[38:00] How is the dynamic with the rest of the cast?
[40:00] How do you prepare for uncertainty and things you cannot control during the play?
[47:00] How do you manage to have family/children and also rehearse and perform?
[09:00] It's really unlike any other creative space, as an Asian-American artist, to be making American theatre, in that way.
[14:00] The whole premise of art is about transformation, is about change, it's about bringing questions to things.
[24:00] You want to feel like the world is familiar and strange at the same time. And that's what great art should do. I think this piece really aspires to that.
[27:00] For me, Shakespeare as a dramatist is someone who invites radical remaking of power. He gives language to women, who were considered less than powerful. And gives them a go at power. And sometimes they fail, but you get these moments on stage, where they had claimed the power.
[33:00] This country has always been a wonderful place and experience for some people. But it's also, at the same time, an awful place for those who have been left out of that promise. But it's an incredible promise, liberty and justice for all.

A denture is a removable dental appliance for missing teeth and surrounding tissue. It is made to closely resemble your natural teeth and may even enhance your smile. There are two types of dentures – complete and partial dentures. Complete dentures are used when all of the teeth are missing, while partial dentures are used when some natural teeth remain. A partial denture not only fills in the spaces created by missing teeth, it prevents other teeth from shifting. A complete denture may be either "conventional" or "immediate". A conventional type is made after the teeth have been removed and the gum tissue has healed, usually taking four to six weeks. During this time, the patient will go without teeth. Immediate dentures are made in advance and immediately placed after the teeth are removed, thus preventing the patient from having to be without teeth during the healing process. Once the tissues shrink and heal, adjustments may have to be made.
Also called a complete denture, replaces all of the natural teeth and provides support for cheeks and lips. By replacing missing teeth, dentures not only support sagging facial muscles, but also improve a person's ability to speak and eat. Full dentures are divided into two categories according to when they are made and inserted into the mouth.
Fills in the space created by missing teeth and fills out your smile. Removable partial dentures usually consist of replacement teeth attached to pink or gum-colored plastic bases, which are connected by metal framework, and attach to your natural teeth with metal clasps or precision attachments. Precision attachments are nearly invisible, but often require crowns on your natural teeth for a precise fit, and generally cost more than those with metal clasps.


TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – The Lipscomb Lady Bisons softball team used a 12-hit attack and a complete-game shutout by Mandy Jordan to start out the Unconquered Invitational on a winning note.
The Lady Bisons 8-0 win over Samford gives the team a positive lift as it heads into this afternoon's game with host Florida State at JoAnne Graff Field. at 4:30.
Lipscomb is 7-4 and has won its last three games. Samford slipped to 4-8.
It may have been an early morning game, but the Lipscomb bats were awake early. Sparked by a three-run homer down the left field line by Khayla Green the Lady Bisons opened with five runs.
They would add two more in the sixth on a double to right center by Jordan Fortel and one more in the seventh when Caitlin Turner slammed a double to left center.
Mandy Jordan, 2-2, threw a three hitter. She struck out six and did not walk a batter.
Lacey Spear, 3-2, did not get out of the first inning and took the loss for Samford.
This was the second shutout of the season for the Lady Bisons against Samford. They shut them down 7-0 at the Cowgirl Classic at McNeese State Feb. 8.
Jordan Fortel extended her team –leading hitting streak to eight games.
Peyton Ward was hit by a pitch in her first two plate appearances.
Graysen Gladden's four hits tied the team high set by Fortel against McNeese State.
Also getting multiple hits were Sarah Higgins and Jenna Pealor with two apiece. One of the hits by Higgins was a double.
Ward and Gladden each stole two bases.
The Lady Bisons face No. 1-ranked Florida State. The Seminoles are 3-0 all-time against Lipscomb in softball.


There's a fair bit of edginess in it.
Agents of Mayhem, the latest Volition open world action game which is kinda a Saints Row game, releases tomorrow. Despite having reservations when I previewed it a few weeks ago, I'm still pretty excited: dumb action games set in neon-lit future cities with characters that can triple jump are few and far between, after all.
The trailer above gives you a decent idea of what you're getting into: wanton cartoon violence, edgier-than-thou attitude, rapid switching between up to 12 playable characters and, most importantly, you can mow characters down with giant magical balls. Pretty cool.
Meanwhile, if you've committed to playing this, there are some new Nvidia drivers to install while you wait.

Reproductive Biology and Phylogeny of Fishes Vol 8B Part B Sperm Competion Hormones
Author : Barrie G M Jamieson
Reproductive Biology and Phylogeny of Fishes Vol 8B Part B Sperm Competion Hormones Summary:
The animals loosely termed fish constitute more than half of all known vertebrate species. There are approximately 27,000 described living species of bony fishes (Euteleostomi = Osteichthyes), about 70 species of hagfishes and some 34 species of lampreys. Approximately 970 species are chondrichthyans, the sharks and their relatives, which were the subject of volume 3 in this series. It is perhaps because fishes live in a buoyant medium, whether it be fresh or sea water, that they show a diversity in body shapes that is unparalleled by other vertebrates. There is also a unique diversity in the modes of reproduction, whether by external or internal fertilization, and this, with the morphology and fine structure of the reproductive system and its components, is the subject of Part A. Part B deals with complementary topics: testes, sperm, and sperm competition; endocrinology of reproduction; pheromones and reproduction; copulatory structures: taxonomic overview and the potential for sexual selection; sexual selection: signaling and courtship; adaptation and evolution of reproductive mode in copulating cottoid species; fertilization; sex determination; parental care; reproduction in relation to conservation and exploitation of marine fishes; Cryopreservation of Gametes; Embryogenesis and Development; and Molecular Genetics of Development.

"Britain's forgotten 'War of Nerves': The masses, mental health, morale and the fallout of the Munich Crisis"
Abstract: The history of appeasement and international relations has conventionally been told as history from above. However, the Munich Crisis had a profound effect on the whole population, the emotional and psychological repercussions evident at all levels of society, across the social spectrum, and crossing gender, regional, and generational lines. The impact of the Crisis on mental health and morale was a growing concern for doctors, intellectuals, policymakers, and the state, although for different reasons and with sometimes conflicting motives. This paper seeks to retell the story of the prelude to war as a 'People's Crisis' and as the war of nerves.

SHANGHAI, Jul 17 (SMM) – Supplies of sintered and pelletised ore in Tangshan, Hebei province, are likely to tighten further as sintering machines and shaft furnaces face an imminent suspension, SMM expects.
This is expected to bolster demand for lump ore.
As heavy pollution blanketed the city, the Tangshan government required all the sintering machines and shaft furnaces at mills across the region to cease production during July 18-21.
Sintering machines and shaft furnaces in the central and south-east stopped from July 12. This is scheduled to end on July 18.
Tangshan will launch pollution improvement efforts from July 20 to August 31 and production cuts that last for 42 days will be imposed on all steel mills.
During July 18-21, sintering machines and shaft furnaces with commissioned desulphurisation facilities, which met emission standards, will not be subjected to suspensions.
Coking duration at all coke plants in the city is required to be extended to 36 hours.
The suspensions extend to casting plants and independent rolling mills.
Delivery vehicles, except for those that ensure production safety, are banned from entering or leaving the plants of steel and coke sectors.

Sprint opens LTE in 11 'cities'
- Nov. 26th 2012 7:53 am PT
Sprint just announced the expansion of its 4G LTE data network to 11 new cities in eight states, but the term "cities" is a little stretched in this instance as each population is either near or well below the 50,000 mark.
Sprint currently sports a thin LTE spread, but it has steadily tried to thicken 4G LTE data coverage in recent months. The carrier even rolled out 4G LTE data to 100 additional U.S. cities this past fall.
According to Sprint's the press release:
We continue to make progress with the rollout of our all-new, high-speed data network. Today, Sprint is delivering 4G LTE to 11 new cities and counties. Sprint introduced its all-new 4G LTE network in July 2012 and now offers service in 43 markets[1]. The 4G LTE network build is under way in more than 115 cities within the existing Sprint nationwide 3G footprint, including Boston; Charlotte, N.C.; Chicago; Indianapolis; Los Angeles; New Orleans; New York; Philadelphia; San Francisco; and Washington, D.C.
The full list of new areas:
Anderson, Ind.
Clarke County, Va./Jefferson County, W.Va.
Harrisburg/Carlisle/Hershey, Pa.
Hagerstown, Md./Martinsburg, W.Va.
Harrisonburg, Va.
Muncie, Ind.
Peabody, Mass.
Salina, Kan.
Shenandoah County, Va.
South Bend/Mishawaka, Ind.
Winchester, Va.
Sprint was the first national wireless carrier to introduce 4G (WiMAX) service in 2008, and it expects to light up the above areas in "the coming weeks and months." The carrier further revealed upcoming improvements for its 3G customers, including: wireless signal strength, in-building coverage, and fewer dropped/blocked calls.
Sprint previously said it planned to complete the nationwide build out of its 4G network by the end of 2013.

With this most recent expansion, Sprint 4G LTE will light up in the following areas, with coverage continuing to expand in these areas in the coming weeks and months:
Other improvements with Network Vision
Sprint's network build out program, known as Network Vision, not only brings 4G LTE. It also should give 3G customers better:
Wireless signal strength
Fewer dropped/blocked calls
These 3G improvements are already available to customers in several cities across the country, such as Baltimore, Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, New York and Washington, D.C. All Sprint 3G customers in these areas, including the company's prepaid customers on Assurance Wireless, Virgin Mobile and Boost Mobile, can expect to see better coverage, improved network reliability and voice quality once the improvements come to their areas.

Cutting Up My Kona Card.
I have been planning on cutting up my Kona card for a while now. It has been a few years since cutting up an older Kona card, and my lack of a system for that one (they were all thrown into a box) plus the addition of many new colors has made working with it an ongoing mess.
Earlier this year, I did a rough poll to see how others are organizing their color cards, and the answers were really helpful! I recapped some of those different styles and approaches in this newsletter if you'd like to see.
The systems I saw ranged wildly in terms of additional materials required, time investment to set up and resulting usability. I love being organized, and I love how being organized can help you work more efficiently, but it's also important to weigh the options.
For me, I prefer a direction that requires the least amount of upfront time and extra materials to set up, with the most appropriate level of usability in the end. Not only am I often picking swatches to coordinate with collections and to use for projects, but I also like seeing all of the colors as a whole. Because of that, I like the idea of having a way to see all of the colors together, as well as to work with them individually. With two color cards, and I knew that I could keep one intact and I could cut the other one up. With just 1 card, it might be better to go in a different direction, maybe one like @modernhandcraft installed, which is impressive, but that would also require a lot of time and equipment to set up, as well as the physical space to put it. I'm not mad at a system that I can fold up and put away.
Instead, I was drawn toward @houseonhillroad's approach which uses a special box to store the swatches. I think her box is one for storing embroidery floss that you could find at a craft store, but I also heard of others using tackle boxes and other things similar.
To be honest, all of this was fantasy thinking, because projects like these aren't usually my favorite. They can be easy for me to dream about but not anything I'm quick to act on. There are too many other things I'd rather be doing and making! However, the stars aligned and I happened to find the perfect slotted container at the Dollar Store, when I was there rooting around for something else. I picked it up hoping it would be about the right size, and it turns out that it totally was! Yay! Plus, it was only $1. You can't beat that.
There were many good tips that I learned from others. For one, I numbered the back of each of my swatches as well as their position on the uncut card. This way, I can easily find what I'm looking for AND put it back when I'm done with it.
It really helps to cut the swatches to the same size. This was made easier by the fact that the newest Kona color card has standard sizes for the colors. Because of the layouts on some of the older cards, the swatches were different sizes. Having them all the same size makes everything easier to work with, and it makes them stack up so nicely.
This new system is already paying off in terms of time, mess and general convenience. Even though it took me a few hours to cut up and number the card and swatches, I've easily made that up in how easy it is to work with. I would totally make myself do this again with the release of a newer color card. Now having done it, I know how much easier it has made everything. It might not have been at the top of my list before, but it will be higher on the list moving forward.
I should note that I tried punching holes into a couple of the swatches. Also while at the Dollar Store, I nabbed some book rings, and I thought it could be nice to put the colors for certain projects into their own ring while I was working with them. I quickly discovered that you'd need either a stronger hole punch, a drill and/or more physical strength than I was willing and able to put into it, so I abandoned that direction after a couple of failed attempts. If I feel inspired, I can bust out my drill and add some holes in the future. For now, all is great.
You can find a Kona color card on the google or at shops like ilovefabric and plenty of others. Just make sure to get the latest card with all 340 colors, and you'll be set.
7 Responses to Cutting Up My Kona Card.
Thanks for doing the footwork (or should I say handwork?) on this so I can make my own little kit of color! Just to clarify…did you put the colors in an order you chose and then number them? And that's the number you wrote on the back of each swatch and on the color card? Thanks again!
Great question! I just numbered them as I cut them from the card, making #1 Meringue because I started from that side. I guess it might make more sense to start at the other end, so that Black and White are at the beginning. Doesn't really matter I guess!
Drilling holes in your color cards, just the thought of it …. you are my idol (even more than before)!
When I got my Kona Color card I thought they were on paper(LOL). So when you put this together, did you actually mount them on to cardstock? If so, what weight of paper did you use and what glue did you use?
The full card actually does come on heavy cardstock. Maybe you have the card with just the newest colors? I think those are loose swatches once they're cut away. You could probably mount them onto anything heavy.
I found a 20.00 magnetic dry erase board at Costco though it's barely large enough to store all the colors on so I'll need to pick up a second board. Then I can arrange, rearrange and try different combinations mounted on the wall so I can mull them over.
