It's the Gaultier and Valentino spring summer '09 haute couture show from Paris.
These cells do not record an exact, absolute date -- such as January 28, 2009 -- but instead encode memories that occur around the same time similarly. In this way, the mind knows whether a memory happened before, after or alongside something else.
Neuroscientists believe that if the same neurons are active during two events, a memory linking the two may be formed.
They were treated at a hospital for numbness in the hands and legs and other symptoms. One of them was in a critical condition yesterday.
Next time you're in Japan, have the Sukiyaki. Speaking of baked testes (I would have spelt it 'testies' personally), how freakin' hot was it in MEL today?
The 23-year-old allegedly broke into the Laneway Adult Shop in the northen Australian city of Cairns on several occasions, having sex with a doll named "Jungle Jane," the Cairns Post reported.
It earlier quoted the store's owner saying the burglar always cleaned up after himself, but the dolls were dumped unceremoniously in an alleyway behind the store.
"He has been taking the dolls out the back and blowing them up and using the dolls and leaving them in the alley," he said. "It is totally bizarre."
Police have charged the unidentified man, believed to be from the city's Manunda suburb, with four counts of breaking and entering. They told the paper that DNA samples had been recovered from one of the dolls.
I'm just glad they kept my name out of the papers. I'm gonna beat this thing, you'll see.
"I expressed that personally I had not the least doubt of the honesty with which Obama, the 11th president since January 1, 1959, expressed his ideas, but in spite of his noble intentions there remained many questions to answer," he said.
One question, Castro said, was "how can a wasteful and consumerist system par excellence preserve the environment?"
Phew, you had me worried there for a moment, El Presidente.
"When I first received an inquiry about my availability to come and talk at this school, I was naturally reluctant. After all, this school has little to recommend it in the eyes of the wider community. Historically it has been simply a machine for the transmission of inherited privilege.
"It is a place where boys from middle-class backgrounds are sent to improve their material prospects and to reproduce the values of their class, or where the boys of insecure parents are sent to fulfil the distorted ambitions of their fathers.
"When I think of Scotch College, what comes immediately to mind are the values and actions of its most prominent Old Boys.
"I think of the scene I saw on television after Scotch old boy Jeff Kennett used his power and his philosophy to close down the only high school in the state specifically dedicated to the education of young Aboriginal people. How students from that school came here and stood at the gates and how your principal went out and told them to go away.
"I think of your old boy, David Kemp, the federal education minister, giving millions of dollars of public money to enhance the marketability of schools like this one - justifying his actions with statistics and arguments that he refuses to apply to the needs of the 70 per cent of Australian families who choose to educate their children in the democratic and equitable environment of government schools.
"I think, too, of the newspaper reports of the violent behaviour of some of your students - and the quick readiness with which these boys were defended and excused in the courts by their adult class allies.
"For these reasons, I was initially reluctant to come here.
"On the other hand, I thought, 'Well, all this is hardly the fault of the current crop of students.' It is not your fault, after all, that your families decided to institutionalise you. It is not your fault that your mothers and fathers elected to place you in the emotionally distorting and educationally deficient environment of an all-boys school.
"It is not your fault that your parents lacked sufficient confidence in your personal maturity and ability to respond to the opportunities offered by government school education - and Australia has one of the best systems in the world, by the way, despite the relentless propaganda to the contrary by the vested interest of the private-school lobby.
"Right now, you are the victims. Later, of course, society will be your victim, and will suffer from the attitudes with which you are indoctrinated here.
"But who knows? Just as prison does not always break the spirit of all who are incarcerated there, perhaps you will not turn out to be a burden to society.
"Perhaps when you leave here, some of you will even manage to contribute to the wellbeing of this country.
"I certainly hope so. But just to hedge my bets, I will be donating part of my fee today to the campaign for public education.
"Good luck with your studies and thanks for having me."
I can't describe how right that feels to me, and how much sense it makes.Every number has a texture. If it is a "lumpy" number, then immediately my mind will relate it to other numbers which are lumpy - the lumpiness will tell me there is a relationship, there is a common divisor, or a pattern between the digits.
Can you give an example of a "lumpy" number?
For me, the ideal lumpy number is 37. It's like porridge. So 111, a very pretty number, which is 3 times 37, is lumpy but it is also round. It takes on the properties of both 37 and 3, which is round. It's an intuitive and visual way of doing maths and thinking about numbers.
To revise: the number 37 is lumpy, like porridge.
"Congress seems willing to help shore up our nation's most important businesses, (and) we feel we deserve the same consideration," Francis said in a statement.
"In difficult economic times, Americans turn to entertainment for relief. More and more, the kind of entertainment they turn to is adult entertainment."
Another killer quote:
"the 13-billion-dollar industry is in no fear of collapse, but why take chances?"
Is it wrong for me to say I know where they're coming from?
"The gladiators themselves were vulgar. They were sweaty, they stank and they swore. Why not show them as they really were?" Broccoli said.
If I can put the fact that this dude's name is Broccoli aside, I want to go on record right now as saying I support this completely. But I'm thinking we get Russell 'Rusty' Crowe and Ninety-something Hollywood legend Kirk Douglas in there to work out who was the better silver screen gladiator.
Rourke apparently didn't see it that way.
"I'm not drunk," he told the officer, per the arrest report. "I didn't even drink that much."
I've tried that defense before, it rarely works.
