religious is a way the a man controled other man , like policy or status lever . God don't create religious. it born in the rock age like the oldest man in the tribe used it to he make your rule above the people in village. don't change too much nowadays.

How to Study Abroad
The Ultimate Guide to Studying Abroad
Why are there so many students who would like to study abroad but so few that actually go? The answer could be as simple as not knowing where to start. GoAbroad lists over 30,000 programs along with tools to help you find the perfect one. Just follow the steps to get you there.
Programs can be searched by specific location, area of study, length of stay, and region. GoAbroad offers access to expert advisors through the Online Advisor. Take less than two minutes to fill out a form about your interests and the team will respond within 48 hours with more information and specific programs that match your needs.
Who To Talk To:
- Resources. GoAbroad Online Advisor, Study Abroad Office, Financial Aid Office, Registrars, your parents, and program alumni. Program alumni will give you the scoop.
- Research. Read reviews of programs and countries. Read interviews with program alumni and staff. Request alumni contacts from the program so you can speak directly to a past participant.
What To Think About:
- Locations. If you have several places you are interested in, browse some articles about them. GoAbroad lists comprehensive country guides along with articles that cover topics like: Top 10 Places To See, Etiquette, Culture, Interesting Programs, and many more.
- Educational Benefits. This is a great chance to fill in any holes in your program. Maybe you're studying oceanography in a landlocked state or art in a less than artistic place. SCUBA dive in Borneo while taking marine biology or visit the Louvre after art history class in Paris.
An international education does not have to be expensive. Something can be found for every budget. Some providers offer discounts and scholarships for things like early enrollment or volunteering during your stay.
This will likely be an important issue with your parents if they are involved in your finances so be sure to share these tools with them (Check out these articles if you want tips on how to convince your parents or on how to talk to them about studying abroad).
Financial aid may apply! If you are currently receiving a grant or scholarship, especially if supplied by the government, chances are it can be used for studying abroad.

Federal Student Aid is a priceless tool. This site actually has a list of the hundreds of schools currently participating in federal student aid programs. It is updated quarterly and organized alphabetically and by country so it is reliable and easy to search.
The organization you apply through will provide extensive help in your application process. Typical programs include assistance with your application, the Visa process if needed, signing up for courses, finding housing, airport pick-up, international health insurance, and even events and excursions.
General Travel Recommendations.
- Learn some useful phrases before departure if studying in a country that speaks another language
- Have contact information for your host family, on-site coordinator, and Country-specific Embassy information on you while traveling to your program location.
- Don't expect it to be like home. Things will be different and no matter how much you prepare there will be an adjustment period.
Arrange Before you go. Each location and experience will call for different things but here a few things that everyone needs to arrange.
- Passport. You will need to submit an extensive application most likely, so plan ahead because it takes several weeks!
- Vaccines & Health. Look up your location to see which vaccinations and medications (if any) you need to have before you leave. Check out the Center for Disease Control and Prevention: Travelers' Health section.
Packing. Many providers and study abroad offices will have recommended lists but consider these factors:
- Weather. Think beyond your home location. You may live by the beach but travel to the mountains. Will there be a season change while you're there?
- Luggage Restrictions. These seem to be getting more and more strict so check with your airline and weigh your bags. If your travel includes multiple airlines, the itinerary will say which airline's baggage rules apply. Put an extra set of clothes in your carry-on.
- Recreation. What do you hope to do? Hiking, camping, surfing, dancing all night? Many campuses have gear rental options or some equipment can be purchased very cheaply after arrival.
- Pack for two weeks. The items you would need for two weeks can get you through a semester. It's a good standard of time to use.
- Toiletries. Bring a few necessities to get you through the initial days but then buy at location if possible.
- Gifts. Many cultures have strong traditions regarding arriving empty handed. Bring your host family or roommate a gift from home.
- Go Light. Take only what you need then take half of it out and leave it behind.
Sorry, you typically have to come back. Although many students choose to prolong their stay by adding another semester or finding internships. Either way, the return can be bittersweet. You will bring many things back home but also leave much behind. Life After Study Abroad is a website and publication dedicated to helping you:
- Use your skills back home
- Keep your language abilities
- Maintain contact with your friends and contacts
- Put it on your resume and get an awesome job
- Go abroad again

One thing that I read about in the Leeds symposium on Food and Society books that I had not heard of before, and which affects the amount of kneading. Apparently, in pre-modern times right up to the late 19th century, it was common to knead bread dough either using a sort of lever arrangement (with a pole fastened at one end like half of a flail positioned longwise over a table, which was then raised and lowered into the dough) or by enclosing the dough in a very large fabric bag and kneading it by jumping and jogging on it with the feet. It's not mentioned in the two bread history books I have, but both of them are modern-ish. H. E. Jacob's 6000 years of bread betrays such a strong distaste for physical labor that I suspect before his Nazi camp experience he probably had little contact with the making of bread; and Elizabeth David's bread book centers more on the home making of bread. -- -- Jenne Heise / Jadwiga Zajaczkowa jenne at fiedlerfamily.net

I was born in Ottawa, Canada, but I grew up in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Calgary is a medium-sized city on the Canadian plains but very close to mountains. I spent most of my childhood not making art but riding horses in the countryside. Sometimes it makes me sad that I'm not involved with horses anymore, since it was such a big part of my life growing up, but they take up a lot of time and you might break your arm if you fall off. I need it to draw!
I studied illustration and design in my hometown of Calgary, but moved to New York when I was 25. New York has lots of magazines, book publishers, and art schools, so I always have a lot to do here. Sometimes the city is wonderful—there's always so much to see and do, there are lots of different types of people, and, of course, all that shopping and eating! But sometimes it's smelly and dirty and people can be very rude. All in all though, the city has been very good to me.
I split my time between making comics and working on illustrations for magazines and newspapers. My studio is in my apartment, so sometimes I don't leave the house all day. In my workspace, I have a desk for a computer, a desk for drawing, and a desk for my light-table. So a different area for each task. I share the computer desk with my studiomate, Gretel, who is a grey cat.

why does my cake deflate?
- a
- andrewpb33 Mar 4, 2010 05:38 AM
it seems like 75% of the time i make a two layered cake the middle sinks down in the middle. i wait till the cakes are cooled before taking them out of the pan, i follow all the recipe's but this is driving me nuts!
why is this happening and what can i do to stop this?
There are any number of reasons causing this to happen.......
From personal experience: any shaking of the kitchen floor will cause a rising cake in the oven to fall.
Also try reading up on the subject at these websites:
re: Fuller
Yeah, underbaking would be my concern. If the structure isn't thoroughly set by heat the air can escape from whatever liquid batter remains.
Can you post the recipe? Perhaps the culprit is the leavening--amount or possibly whether it has expired.
Is your oven at the correct temp? It could be baking the edges too fast, pushing the gas from the leavening into the uncooked center which will rise higher and then fall.
Are you using the correct size pan? Putting the batter for a 9in recipe into an 8in pan can affect your cooking time.
re: iluvcookies
OP says he "follows all the recipes" - plural. But your suggestion of expired leavening is a good one. Some experts recommend replacing leavening annually and suggest marking the date of purchase/first use on the canister. I think it's good far longer than a year, but I did adopt the dating tip.
If the OP has a functioning oven thermometer, to rule out the temperature question, I'd advise making a cake from a boxed mix, to compare. If that one doesn't fall, it rules out equipment and mixing technique. If it does fall, the oven itself is the likely culprit. There are strips (Magic Bake?) that can be put around the outside edge of the pan to insulate a bit and avoid overbaking of the edges before the interior is done. I've read this can also be done by wrapping the pans in strips made of newspaper folded into narrow strips, then soaked in water.
re: greygarious
This is from Nicole Weston. Sorry can't find the actual link.
"The procedure for testing baking soda and baking powder is simple. Get out two small glasses or bowls and fill one with 3-4 tablespoons of white vinegar and fill the other with 3-4 tablespoons of room temperature water. Add about 1/2 teaspoon baking soda to the bowl containing the vinegar and the same amount of baking powder to the water bowl. Each mixture should fizz up, with the soda/vinegar producing a bigger reaction. If they both work, mark the containers with the date and check them again in 6-12 months (if you haven't used them up by then) to make sure they're still active. And if they don't fizz up, you better stop by the store before the next time you want to whip up a batch of cookies."

And of course, if the baking soda is flat, you can still freshen the drain or the cat litter with it.
re: greygarious
Does he follow the recipe?
I'm just saying... if he gave an example the answer might be easy to figure out.
re: greygarious
I've had falling cakes as well. I like the idea of comparing box to home made. I also mit try covering the edges during cooking. i have some shields for pies that might work. ,y edges DO seem to be more "crisp" than the rest of the cake. Thank you very much for the ideas.
It could be many factors but the most common problem is underbaking. Since it happens often, you might want to take the temperature of your oven to make sure it's hot enough. How do you test for doneness?
Most cakes, especially light sponge types, will sink a little in the middle after it is baked. Most recipes have instructions to trim off a little of the top to make the cake even before frosting and finishing. If your cake layers sink a lot in the middle and it happens frequently with your recipes, it might be due to under baking, inaccurate oven temperature or lack of structure by the way you measure the flour.
the most recent recipe was one i found here on chowhound ( http://www.chow.com/recipes/12230 ) for a birthday the other day.
we replace our leavening agent at least once every month or so (we bake a lot, just not a lot of cakes), i'm guessing it's because of being undercooked. we replaced our old too hot oven last year, and are probably still taking things out too early because of fear of burning.
re: andrewpb33
Do you test the cake when you think it's done? No matter how accurate your oven is, you want to check it before you take it out to cool.
Also, how do the cakes taste? heavy and dense, gummy, a little wet in the middle? If they taste good, you don't have a problem. If it rises during baking, then falls while cooling, it is not due to your leavening agents being stale. As I posted before, it is the nature of some cakes to sink a little in the middle. Just trim a little off the top if it makes it easier for frosting and finishing.

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) -- A legislator in Puerto Rico has submitted a bill that would increase fines and jail time for parents whose children skip classes or drop out of school.
Angel Munoz Suarez says fines up to $5,000 and a 12-month jail sentence are needed to reduce dropout and absenteeism rates in the U.S. territory. He also says welfare benefits should be cut as punishment.
Munoz says in a statement issued Wednesday that current law calling for a $500 fine and a six-month prison sentence is not being enforced.
School attendance in Puerto Rico is largely mandatory for all those ages 5 to 18, with a few exceptions. However, a study by the Department of Education estimates about 40 percent of public school students who enter 10th grade drop out.

Minivan with child inside stolen
FOND DU LAC, Wis. (AP) -- A 9-year-old Fond du Lac boy is safe after a frightening ride in a stolen van.
Holly Jaschob left her son, Eli, in their minivan while she ran into Shopko with her daughter Monday. Jaschob left the van running and thought she had locked it. When she returned to the van, it was gone.
Jaschob says she went in to panic mode. A car thief had taken the van with her son lying in the back seat.
Eli tells WLUK-TV the cellphone he was playing with suddenly rang, so he popped his head up from the back seat and the suspect told him to get out. Eli was released unharmed about two miles from Shopko and called his dad.
Jaschob says she's proud her son stayed calm in such a distressing situation.

Updated: February 4, 2012 11:45AM
It was once called the murder capital of the United States.
But the number of murders dropped so far last year in Gary, Ind., that city officials say they can't recall the last time it was so low.
Thirty-five people died violently last year. That's down from 54 violent deaths in 2010, 50 in 2009 and 40 in 2008.
The number in 2010 put the city's per-capita murder rate atop the list of communities with populations of 50,000 to 99,999 in data reported in the FBI's Uniform Crime Report. The population is 80,294.
But the totals are way down from 110 in 1993, when the city's population was higher, and the city had the nation's highest murder rate of any large city.
The population was as high as 175,000 in 1970.
Despite the decrease, Gary police Sgt. John Jelks, a veteran investigator and coordinator of the department's Narcotics-Vice Unit, said most of the victims continue to be young black men linked to gangs or drugs. He said many come from outside the city.
"Gary has received flak for being the murder capital and supplier of drugs to other communities, but people come into our city daily and contribute to the drug problem, which contributes to crime," Jelks said. "It hurts the city and its citizens. The drug money goes to different gangs to re-supply drugs, buy weapons and continues to victimize the good people of the city."
Outsiders who believe that innocent people are likely to be the victims of a violent death are wrong, Jelks said. "If you are involved in drugs, then you're involved in criminal activity, and it makes you more likely to be the victim," he said.
The final death, technically not classified as a homicide yet, was the discovery of a burned, decomposed body found Christmas Eve in a Midtown alley.
New Mayor Karen Freeman-Wilson said that by improving communication between residents and police officers, the community will be safer.
"I want to bring community-oriented policing to the city in its truest and purest form. People don't typically do homicides in a vacuum. There is always someone who knows something, and the only way you get people to talk is to have them see police officers as individuals who can help solve a problem," she said.

MAYS LANDING, N.J. (AP) - Ray Rice's lawyer says the Baltimore Ravens running back "is sorry for what he did" and wants to move forward with his life in the wake of assault charges.
Rice pleaded not guilty Thursday to aggravated assault stemming from a February incident with his then-girlfriend in an Atlantic City casino elevator. He applied for New Jersey's pretrial intervention program, which allows first-time offenders to have charges against them dismissed upon meeting certain conditions.
If Rice is rejected for the program, prosecutors have offered a plea bargain that would spare him jail time if he participates in anger management counseling.
Security video obtained by TMZ Sports shows Rice removing the motionless body of Janay Palmer from the elevator. Palmer, who later married Rice, didn't comment as the two walked into the courthouse.

Special birthday dinner - suggestions, please!
- d
- drummergirl Jun 18, 2008 10:24 AM
First, a heartfelt thank you: based on your recommendations, had a wonderful time at Eleven Madison Park.
Need to take a dear, dear friend out for her birthday. She (and I) prefer someplace that isn't into very 'heavy' foods; seafood is always a plus. We DO like tasting menus, though it isn't mandatory. She just moved to the UWS, so I thought perhaps to try something there, though the choices seem limited for something 'fancy-ish.'
Some thoughts based on my perusal of recent comments: Telepan, Picholine, Sushi Gari (though I hear Yasuda, on 42 St. is a better option). 'Course, it doesn't have to be the UWS: but it would be nice to give the new 'hood a shot given that we always seem to go downtown (or east) for culinary adventures.
Looking forward to your great suggestions!
In terms of Gari vs. Yasuda - I like both. I think Yasuda edges Gari out in terms of variety and quality. However, I do like Gari's "special" sauces/preparations etc.
i recently had a beautiful meal at picholine. it is, without a doubt, special occasion fine dining. i havent been to telepan, but have heard good things. my feeling still is that picholine might be the most refined option on the UWS, short of maybe jean georges or venturing into TWcenter spots.
Leaving the UWS will give you more options, but with Picholine and Jean-Georges to choose from, there's really no need.
Thanks so much for your suggestions. I'm also thinking about Perilla, based on other comments I've been reading about on the board.
You guys are the best. (Though I agree with a poster downthread that once you all start to list your personal experiences, somehow my short list expands, rather than shrinks).
As an aside, this is a regular 'event' we've had in our friendship, once we graduated college. Our birthdays are six months apart, and we've always 'blown' a healthy chunk of change (well, when we were 22-3, it might not have seemed like a lot but it was still a big percentage of our salaries!), at a fancy NYC restaurant. Throughout almost a quarter century of friendship, and life changes, we've almost always kept up the tradition, with some remarkable, toe curlingly delicious meals (equally matched by the conversation!). A number of those restaurants don't exist anymore, the most memorable being a four hour dinner at Quilted Giraffe.
In those days, pre-Internet, all we had to rely on was Zagat's and The New York Times to figure out where to go to next. I'm happy to have you guys helping out on the most recent foray!
Dovetail has wonderful food, but be aware it is much more casual than Picholine or Jean-Georges. I would highly recommend it if that is what you are looking for.
if you want to do a seafood tasting menu, nothing beats le bernadin in my oinion..... i admit i don't tend to venture much to the uws so I have yet to try Dovetail. despite the rave reviews it has been getting. I love Yasuda and think you can't go wrong with that choice - I have not yet been to Gari so I cannot comment, although it is on my list of places to try. Another thought, although you would have to venture downtown would be Degustation, the portions are somewhat light but quite tasty and I thoroughly enjoyed my experience there, I was even comped with some nice rose champagne due to the fact we had to wait a slight bit for are reservation. Either way, I hope you have a wonderful and celebratory time. I think with all those listed you will have a wonderful time at any of the mentioned places.
re: kesues
I've had the pleasure of Le Bernardin, and agree with you wholeheartedly. I'd love to try Degustation based on what I've heard here, if I can convince her to head downtown...
re: drummergirl
Telepan has very good food (at times excellent) but I don't think I would consider it a special event restaurant. It's a "what are you doing Wednesday night, let's go out to dinner" kind of place. Picholine, based upon our most recent dinner, is one of the best overall meals/evenings we have had this year. Highly recommend the tastings.
re: Spiritchaser
I've been edging toward this one, based on all of your comments here. I hope she agrees to go here!
re: drummergirl
Hey, drummergirl,
I'm so pleased that you enjoyed Eleven Madison Park, our favorite restaurant in NYC.
If you are edging towards Picholine, I urge you to take the plunge. After not having been there for quite a long time and having mixed experiences previously, we had dinner there a couple of weeks ago. We did the Tasting Menu Royale. I hadn't expected to be so blown away, but it was truly sensational! In addition to the superb cuisine and excellent wine pairings, service was faultless, and the refurbished interior is quite pleasing and extremely comfortable.
Happy Birthday to your friend and Bon Appetit!
I know it's a bit beyond your ideal parameters, but have you thought about Aquavit? They have a nice, light seafood-heavy tasting menu.
For a lighter meal uptown, I agree with suggestions of Dovetail. It's not as formal as Le Bernardin, but the dining room is nice enough to denote something special, I think. Portions are on the smaller side, so you won't feel overly full.
81 is a very attractive, special occasiony space and I quite liked my meal there, though it's probably on the more traditional (to my mind boring) side of meal prep. food has also been overly salty on the two occasions I've been.
Bar Boulud, a little further south near Lincoln Center, is also a fine option. (Order tapas style.)
I have never (to my own surprise!) been to Picholine. It sounds to me like a lot of ppl think that's a good option.
re: cimui
I took her to Aquavit on her last birthday, and it was spectacular. I love that place; the food was superb, and the service matched it. I'd definitely go there again, regardless of location.
I'll have to check Dovetail out further; I think I'm confusing it with someplace else that I thought DIDN'T get such accolades.
Is Bar Boulud on the casual side? (Not that that's a bad thing, mind you!)
re: drummergirl
you two are well eaten, indeed! (good thing you save so much on fruit. ;)
dovetail isn't well loved by everyone, but i think many objections were in reaction to being seated in the less desirable downstairs space and to the wait time many of us experienced when it first opened, despite having reservations.
bar boulud is... hmm... a much classier than usual bar masquerading as a casual drinking hole -- i guess a bit downtowny in feel. you won't find leather banquettes or the lush interior decorating as at other boulud restaurants. the space is more spare, all blond wood and clean lines -- but the food certainly doesn't taste like it was casually prepared. some people complain about the narrowness of the room, but it didn't bother me, personally. i find the space sexy and the food sexier.
re: drummergirl
Bar Boulud is upscale but definitely more casual than the other places mentioned. The food is excellent but simpler in style than Dovetail, Picholine, etc., classic bistro dishes and charcuterie of the highest quality. It is just not a place I would consider for a special occasion. In a choice between Dovetail and 81, Dovetail wins hands down. The atmosphere at 81 is IMO weird and kind of grim, like an old hotel dining room (which it is) that has been tarted up with some red velvet curtains and banquettes. I thought the food was good, but not exciting enough to justify the high prices. I've been waiting to hear of an improvement that would tempt me to try it again, but it continues to get so-so reports, so I'm holding off.
Spigolo would fit the bill perfectly-must make reservations!!!!!!! small restaurant and outdoor seating-but for indoor seating (only 11 tables) need reservation-212-744-1100-81/2nd ave

Pigeons and Doves (Columbidae)
White-winged Dove (Zenaida asiatica) - HBW 4, p. 161
French: Tourterelle à ailes blanches
German: Weißflügeltaube
Spanish: Zenaida Aliblanca
Other common names: Singing/Mesquite Dove, White-wing
Taxonomy: Columba asiatica Linnaeus, 1758, Jamaica.
Probably more closely related to Columba than to most other members of Zenaida, but tentatively retained in this genus at present. Often considered conspecific with Z. meloda, but important differences in vocalizations and morphology. Validity of race australis requires critical evaluation; coloration highly variable, and birds from Veracruz and Costa Rica were found to be indistinguishable. Three subspecies recognized.
Subspecies and Distribution:
- mearnsi (Ridgway, 1915) - Baja California, S Arizona and New Mexico S to Guerrero and Puebla (SC Mexico); also Tres Marias Is (off CW Mexico).
- asiatica (Linnaeus, 1758) - lower Rio Grande Valley (Texas) S to Isthmus of Tehuantepec, S on both slopes through Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador to Nicaragua; also S Bahamas through Cuba, Jamaica and Hispaniola to Puerto Rico; Grand Cayman, San Andrés and Providencia.
- australis (J. L. Peters, 1913) - W Costa Rica to W Panama.

Anti-Mage is a fast melee Agility Carry with an emphasis on disabling and killing high-mana enemies. He has notably high agility and low base attack time, giving him high damage and scaling with his basic attacks. His signature ability is Mana Break, a passive attack modifier that makes him a huge threat to mana-reliant heroes, mainly Intelligence-based casters. In addition to granting substantial bonus damage on each attacks, its mana burn sets enemies up to be devastated by his ultimate ability, Mana Void. Blink is a highly versatile ability that allows Anti-Mage to instantly teleport short distances, thereby allowing him to escape, chase, and even farm with ease. Combined with his high base movement speed, this makes Anti-Mage a highly mobile hero at all points in the game. Spell Shield greatly increases Anti-Mage's magic resistance, allowing him to sustain more damage from enemy casters. Finally, Mana Void finishes off targets after their mana has been burnt, inflicting heavy damage to both the target and enemies surrounding the target. The damage Mana Void can potentially deal scales extremely well into the late game, as enemies' mana pools only grow larger over time. His naturally fast basic attacks combined with his powerful abilities make him extremely dangerous in the late game, allowing him to devastate enemies with ease if he is allowed to farm as a hard carry.
Recommended items[edit]
Early Game:
Core Items:
- Blink is the most common choice for your first ability point, as its immediate benefit is better than either of your passives. Put some points into Spell Shield and attributes if you are facing strong opponents or go for Mana Break if you want to be aggressive.
- Blink is a very versatile and powerful escape mechanism. You can also use it to chase, maneuver, or to avoid spells during battles.
- Manta Style is a commonly built item on Anti-Mage as your illusions can also apply Mana Break, tripling the ability's effectiveness. It also provides an increase to all attributes and a means to remove most disables, especially silences, that could prevent escaping via blink.
- Mana Break is most effective against heroes with low mana pools, as you can completely deplete and disable them in less time. However, this also means that Mana Void will do significantly less damage when deployed as it's damage is reliant on the mana pool's maximum size.
- Your laning phase is an absolute nightmare. Many heroes can cripple your early game by harassing you and chasing you away. Also, if you don't utilize your laning phase the game may well end before you reach Anti-Mage's maximum potential. Ask your teammates to babysit you.
- Anti-Mage has relatively low base health. If you can't kill an enemy quickly, it may be best to disengage, as an unfavorable fight can easily result in your own death.
- While Spell Shield provides substantial magic resistance, it is not a substitute for magic immunity as it does not block non-damage effects of enemy magic.
- Mana Void is very difficult to use to full effect. Constantly check enemies with large mana pools. Use it on enemy casters after they have used their abilities and burnt most of their mana. It can absolutely devastate an enemy team if used properly. Note that it does have a short stun, allowing you to cancel spell casts and channels.
- You are utterly useless in team fights if you can't physically attack enemies. There are many ways to counter raw physical damage in DotA, especially if it's melee. Decent players will buy items like Scythe of Vyse, Blade Mail and Ghost Scepter to shut you down. Timing your entrance into the battle is everything for you.
- If you find yourself being killed quickly with stun locks and high physical damage, it is a good idea to pick up Vanguard for the HP boost and damage reduction. Alternatively, a Vitality Booster provides most of the benefit and can be later built into a Heart of Tarrasque.
- Tranquil Boots can be a viable alternative to Battlefury and Treads if your lane has a lot of harass. Rather than needing to go back to base or resorting to jungling, just back off the creep wave (preferably out of los of enemy heroes) and heal to full before you resume last hitting again. This also has the advantage of passively providing you 4 armor under heavy harass, almost a 30% reduction on incoming autoattacks!
- A quick Battle Fury will greatly increase your farming ability which will greatly help later in the game.
- Never use Blink to start a fight unless you know you can win it. Doing so could leave you stranded in a bad situation.
- Although Anti-Mage has the potential to be a carry with his extremely low BAT (Base Attack Time), with his extreme mobility and manaburn in the middle game he can be played as a ganker and semi-carry (mana burn is more effective early as armor and mana pools are lower).
- Don't only farm the jungle. If the enemy is pushing Anti-Mage can push a different lane solo with a reliable escape mechanism with Blink and TP scroll and can indirectly defend by forcing the enemy to defend.
- Be very wary of heroes like Shadow Demon, Dark Seer and Terrorblade, as illusions created from you carry the Mana Break spell as well, and combined with Anti-Mage's high Agility, could easily turn the tides of a teamfight.
- Once you get full slotted you could opt to sell your Battle Fury for a different item, but its creep clearing abilities are still very useful and sometimes critical. You should sell it if you absolutely need another item that can turn the tides, such as a Monkey King Bar.
- Many players are tempted to switch Power Treads to agility, but given your low strength gain (1.2), it may be better to keep them on strength. This is especially true early game, or if you opt for a Battle Fury instead of a Vanguard.
- Anti-Mage's real name in DotA was Magina; in Dota 2, his name was removed for unspecified reasons.
- Anti-Mage's alternative name, "BurNIng", is a tribute to the professional DotA player BurNIng.
- In DotA, Anti-Mage and Terrorblade were brothers. This was to be kept in Dota 2 based on certain responses Anti-Mage made in Terrorblade's presence, but upon Terrorblade's release, these relations were severed and thus the lines went unused.
- In DotA, Anti-Mage was blind, due to the model of the Warcraft III character he used, Illidan Stormrage, who was blind.

"Handbuilt by Takumi Kurosawa," a nameplate you can find on Nissan GT-R engine blocks, describes the actions of one of four takumi who build VR38 engines for the Japanese supercar. Each of Nissan's four artisans ensure that every twin-turbo V6 receives the utmost in care and feeding from the moment each component enters the clean room for assembly.
Takumi Kurosawa is the lead engine builder for Nissan's halo car, and he is joined by three others, Izumi Shioya, Nobumitsu Gozu and Tsunemi Oyama. The men clearly take great pride in their work, and they should, being the only four people at Nissan sanctioned to put their names on a car.
"By putting our nameplates on GT-R engines it gives us pressure in a positive way," says Tsunemi Oyama.
Kurosawa states that any skilled person can learn how to build a GT-R engine in three or four months, but, with 100 years of factory experience between the four takumi, they have learned how to inspect parts for quality before assembly starts and can guarantee precise fitments for each engine built – important in a car that can be used for grocery shopping and lapping a racetrack on the same day.
All the magic takes place at Nissan's Yokohama plant, where the company was established. For your enjoyment, Nissan has made a couple of behind-the-scenes videos, which you can watch below.
