I'm Leaving for the states tomorrow morning. This googLemap pic points out my finaL destination in Mentor, Ohio. My famiLy has been in this home for 33ish yeaRs. The yeLLow arrow is in my parents' back yard. And just to the left is the eLementary schooL i went to. The funny brown spots are basebaLL diamonds i used to pLay on. At the bottom left there's a muddy pond. We used to ice-skate on it in the winter time. Lake erie is onLy a 10 minute drive away.

brains & eggs

Last night I went to an event at the Dana Center called "Art And The Brain". 99% of the people there were from a medical / neurobiologicaL backgrOund. And then there was Antonia and me. But basically, the Dana Center exists to promote the combination of arts and sciences. On the Left is MY brain "in nine easy steps" created out of air foam. I'd say the FrontaL lobes are quite unique...

1. Brainstem - relays infO
2. Cerebellum - movement
3. Thalamus - reLays infO
4. Hippocampus - memOry
5. Amygdala - emotion
6. Temporal Lobes - smeLL / hearing
7. Occipital Lobes - visiOn
8. Parietal Lobes - movement / tOuch
9. Frontal Lobes - personaLity

And on the right, an engLish breaky.

Does this jumper make my feet look big?

I responded to this advert on gumtRee, and went down to have my voice recorded yesterday:

"I am looking for 40 Female native english speakers to be voice recorded for 45mins-60mins. This project is a test for a sofware designed for PDA and Smartphones. We will pay 5 pounds for the hour you spend with us. Its a very simple job for native english speakers, and all you need to do is to read what the computer shows.

There are 4 sections needed to be completed in this test:
40 single digits
40 single words
50 phone numbers
300 sentences (taken from newspapers, magazines....etc)

Please notice: This is a one-off job, and it only takes 45mins to do
the recording. 5 pounds cash will be paid right after the test."

sOme of my favorite phrases were:
* Does this jumper make my feet look big?
* I have some porridge oats, and i'm trying to eat them for breakfast
* Can I collect money for you in public places?

"Hottest July day ever in England"

Wednesday has become the hottest July day in England ever, with a temperature of 36.3C (97.3F)...

Earlier in the week, the highest official temperatures for Monday and Tuesday were recorded at London's Heathrow Airport, where the thermometer shot up to 32.7C (90.8F) on Monday and 33.2C (91.8F) on Tuesday.

On Wednesday a 35C (95F) reading at Heathrow topped the previous July record temperature there of 34C (93F).
