And now the following is the same picture but filtered through several of the different lo-mob effects:

Lo-mob Photography App - so cool!
I downloaded this photography app to my iPhone called Lo-mob. The simple description says, "Lo-mob brings lo-fi and photographic experimentations to your mobile pictures." It's so freaking cool! You can either take a photo with the app or choose a photo directly from your phone's library and then it will give you a preview of over 25 different lo-fi analog camera effects to play with.
This is the original photo I started with. I took this at a small neighborhood carnival last week. That is the full moon just to the left of the ferris wheel and the bright light in the upper left hand corner is from the parking lot streetlamp.

Film Scene I Love - Rebecca
Mrs. Danvers tries to coax Mrs. De Winter into jumping - from Hitchcock's Rebecca (the scene ends at 2:45 in)
Dame Judith Anderson is soooooo deliciously creepy in this scene.
One of my favorite real life couples. . .
Yes, I know they weren't really a couple. And I guess I could have put them as one of my favorite onscreen couples (they were scorching there too!), but I loved their real life relationship. They were best friends and loved each other dearly and took care of one another.
Aren't they gorgeous together?
Multiple Sclerosis
We are covering the nervous system in Applied Anatomy, and one of the diseases we have discussed is multiple scleroris (MS). I'm sure that most people have heard of MS or know someone that has this disease, but may not truly understand it. To really understand MS, we first have to discuss the axon. The axon is the long, cylindrical process of a neuron (nerve cell) that transmits the signal to the next neuron or muscle. Many axons are covered by a myelin sheath, which is made of lipids. The myelin sheath insulates the axon and increases nerve conduction velocity, meaning the signal travels down the axon faster with myelin. Multiple scleroris is a disease of the central nervous system (CNS). The myelination degenerates, and causes sclerosis (hardening) to occur at different places along the axon. In a way, MS is similar to atherosclerosis, in which arteries become hardened and blood flow is reduced or cut off. With MS, the nerve signal is either transmitted very slowly or not at all. MS affects both sensory neurons and motor neurons. Most people are diagnosed with MS between the ages of 20-40. The original symptoms are typically transient, unilateral blindness, or double vision. MS is diagnosed with a lumbar puncture. Because the nerve signal cannot reach the muscle, atrophy will occur (wasting away of skeletal muscle). Persons with MS will also have difficulty with fine motor movements and whole body coordination. There is no known treatment for MS, but most people can live fairly normal lives if the symptoms are managed properly. Here is an article on a former Auburn football player I worked with and his life with multiple sclerosis.
Bea and Rock - YES!
Cities at Night
This is a few years old, but you may not have seen it before. Astronaut Don Pettit rigged up a gizmo that films the Earth’s lights without the blur of travel. It’s really cool and kind of haunting. It’s 10 minutes long but worth your time. . .
