While doing this exercise I find it more natural to rotate my wrists as I would in my golf swing. Am I missing some benefit by doing this?

Mike I like the fact that you are strengthening muscles directly involved in the golf swing. I just hope that everyone realizes that pulling hard with the left hand in the golf swing promotes a slice without proper wrist rotation in the left hand.
It important to have a strong posterior delt, and I think we all can benefit form this Exercise.
September 25th, 2007 at 8:24 am
Very valid point AJ! Strengthening different phases of the golf swing is one of the most effective, golf specific approaches to more distance. But remember…the golf swing is a rotation, not so much a pull. I'm sure I'll open up a lot of different view points after having said that :).

This is a great exercise in addition to your DVD Exercises and Weight training for Intermediate golfers..With that DVD I have noticed a BIG difference in my drives! I measured a 325 drive last week! Now it's just a driver and sand wedge to the greens.

Great tip on backswing exercises (weight plus stretch). I will incorporate it into my work out. I have also recently started using a foam roller right before stretching on some of those same muscles and the release work seems to help.
Quick question, as I can't figure out what to work on. I've been using your backswing arm stretch for quite a while. Yet, my front shoulder won't get under my chin (like yours in the video) and therefore, my front arm has difficulty getting around and up without a serious bend.
Any advice on what muscles seem to be working or not working here.
September 25th, 2007 at 10:44 am
Larry, it sounds like you need to work on your "core flexibility'. Doing the stretches in my golf training manual like the lying leg crossover, seated twist, etc. will loosen up your core to make a fuller backswing.
October 20th, 2007 at 3:56 am
Hi Larry
I also have a problem with my chin not passing over my left shoulder on the backswing. Although Mike's core flexibility excercises now allow me to rotate further my shoulder pushes my chin to the right which means that I take my eye off the ball. I feel as though my neck rotation needs some specific excercises?
Have you any advice for us Mike?
September 25th, 2007 at 11:50 am
Thanks for the helpful video you made. I really like how you emphasize the deliberate control of the weight as it is so easy for golfers to injure themselves in that position. I especially like how you follow it up with the backswing stretch, great idea! I highly recommend any golfers looking to add this exercise to their golf fitness routine do so. I use it with nearly all of my own golf clients. Thanks Mike.
September 25th, 2007 at 1:14 pm
Simple and easy to do! Can definitely commit to this exercise on a steady basis. I have Mike's Ultimate Golf Fitness Guide book but have been unable to commit to the entire program on a consistent basis due to my job. I love quick and efficient exercises such as the one illustrated in the streaming video, keep up the good work Mike.
September 25th, 2007 at 9:33 pm
I like the idea for strengthening my golf swing. Last Thur. morning I saw your video on stretching, planning to order it that nignt. Unfortunately, I tangled with a dog with severe lacerations on my right wrist and was unable to get it on special. This past Sunday, I did get to the course and did the stretching. It helped a lot. I am 79 and need all the strength and stretching that I can get.

Hi Mike! I know how important it is for strength training and stretching before actually playing the game of golf. I can certainly express my strong feelings that it really does help to have a good routine before hitting the ball; one might really do some damage to their muscles and ligaments causing extreme damage, perhaps for life. I, for one can emphasize that as I myself could have been in a wheelchair for the rest of my life if it were not for a good exercise and training program; it's not to be neglected Mike, believe me my friend. BOTH before and AFTER Mike!! THXS! Larry.
September 29th, 2007 at 7:05 pm
Sean…if a golfer has access to a gym, the cables are excellent for feeling that pull and constant tension on the muscle for great results ! My main goal has always been to come up with simple golf fitness programs golfers can do at home with very little equipment.

Happy Birthday Enzo Ferrari: MEF reopens and Ferrari California T with Google Glass
Today Luca di Montezemolo and Piero Ferrari opened the new Enzo Ferrari Museum (MEF) in Modena. 18th February was selected as MEF reopening in recognising Enzo Ferrari's birth on 18 February 1898.
MEF houses a big main wing, which hosts the most important cars in the history of the Ferrari driver, constructor and creator of the Scuderia, and a "time machine" that takes visitors through 100 years of history via multiple projections through images, sounds and emotions. The 18 projectors weave together the history of Modena motoring, Enzo Ferrari's story, and his deeds.
MEF has been entrusted to Ferrari by the Foundation owning the building and comprises of Modena institutions: Commune, Province, Chamber of Commerce and Automobile Club, and support of the Cassa di Risparmio Foundation – further enriches the area's attractions that are already numerous, starting with the Ferrari Museum in Maranello.
Ferrari has also uploaded a unique Ferrari California T from close up video created with Google Glass.

I was an 8 year old awash in fossils, so I was a tad more generous than this former 9 year old PEI lad with his much more valuable fossil. I donated a lower mandible piece from a ~12,000,000 year old Saskatchewan rhino to the Sask. Natural History (now Royal Sask.) Museum in the 1980s. I too used plastic bristle brushes (AKA tooth brushes) to dust off fossils I collected from the surface of a gravel pit near Wood Mountain, SK. Many more fossils and fossil fragments from that pit have since ended up in cement in the area.

Our Adoption Process:
The goal of Project Second Chance is to match dogs with homes that are well suited to their needs, temperament, age, and energy level. The dogs are fostered until an appropriate permanent home is found.Our Process Includes:
1. Select the dog that most interests you.
2. Spend some time interacting with the dog. If you already have a dog in your household, it is wise to bring your dog over to the Adoption Center to meet the dog you have selected.
3. Fill out an adoption application form (note: filling out an application DOES NOT guarantee an adoption).
4. A trained volunteer will review the application. Upon approval of the application, we will set up an appointment to visit your home to confirm that the fencing and gates are secure, and the yard is safe for the dog.
5. No dog is ever adopted from the program without a home check.
6. If more than one application is submitted for a given dog, our adoption committee will select the home that is best suited for the dog's needs.
7. The entire adoption process can take up to one week.
8. The adoption process is concluded when an Adoption Contract is completed.
9. We request a $150.00 tax-deductible adoption donation per dog.
If you can increase the donation fee for the animal you are adopting, please do so, if you cannot, please remember us during the holiday gift giving season and for donations of dog toys, dog beds, old blankets and other items all rescue groups need. But most importantly PLEASE remember to tell your friends who FALL IN LOVE with your dog (because they will) to ADOPT, don't breed or buy.

Type and property representing negative rational numbers
This functionality does not run in MATLAB.
testtype(obj, Type::NegRat) assume(x, Type::NegRat) is(ex, Type::NegRat)
Type::NegRat represents negative rational numbers. Type::NegRat is a property, too, which can be used in an assume call.
The call testtype(obj, Type::NegRat) checks, whether obj is a negative rational number and returns TRUE, if it holds, otherwise FALSE.
testtype only performs a syntactical test identifying MuPAD® objects of type DOM_INT and DOM_RAT and checks, if bool(obj < 0) holds.
The call assume(x, Type::NegRat) marks the identifier x as a negative rational number.
The call is(ex, Type::NegRat) derives, whether the expression ex is a negative rational number (or this property can be derived).
This type represents a property that can be used in assume and is.
The following numbers are of type Type::NegRat:
testtype(-2, Type::NegRat), testtype(-3/4, Type::NegRat), testtype(-55/111, Type::NegRat), testtype(-1, Type::NegRat), testtype(-111/111111, Type::NegRat)
Assume an identifier is negative rational:
assume(x, Type::NegRat): is(x, Type::NegRat)
Also negative rational numbers are rational:
assume(x, Type::NegRat): is(x, Type::Rational)
However, rational numbers can be negative rational or not:

I have downloaded Autocad Civil 3D 2013 and all the icon have come up on my desk top except for the Autocad Civil 3D Icon.
I have tried downloading Autocad Civil 3D 2013 again but It tells me that it is already downloaded. I have also search through the C Drive but are unable to locate it.
If some can help me out, would be appreciated.
Check the folder under C:\Autodesk for it. And also check your Start menu under Programs > Autodesk to see if it made a Civil 3D icon there for you.
So I just want to clarify...Did you download this from the subscription center.
Did you select browser download and then extract the downloaded zip fles and install the software?
Or did you use Autodesk download manager and install through that?
Verify through the Start menu--> All programs --> Autodesk --> AutoCAD Civil 3d 2013
That there is a entry for AutoCAD Civil 3d 2013
If there is then right click and send this to the desktop as Shortcut..
Alternatively right click on the icons created and check the properties of the target location...It should read similar to
"C:\Program Files\Autodesk\AutoCAD Civil 3D 2013\acad.exe" /ld "C:\Program Files\Autodesk\AutoCAD Civil 3D 2013\AecBase.dbx" /p "<<C3D_Metric>>"
I downloaded the files as a zip file and them loaded the software.
I have checked to loactions of the icons created and the start menu for Civil 3d but there aren't any files for civil 3d.
Should I uninstall everything and try reinstalling the program again?
Can you clarify what the name of the zip files are you are extracting and downloading?
Is it definitely a AutoCAD Civil 3d install? or a Suite product?
Did you ensure you went into the configuration during the setup to Select the default unit type to install (Metric vs Imperial...or both )and also the option to create a vanilla AutoCAD icon on the desktop from this install?
Are you running the install as a Administrator (Right click on the setup.exe once inflated and seelct the "Run as admistrator" option.
It is definitely an autocad civil 3d program.I have the autocad civil 3d dongle in the my USB port at the moment, I downloaded a zip file of the folders to my computer and ran the Autocad civil 3d 2013 setup as an administrator.
In the zip files the names of the folders are;
-AutoCad Map 3D citrix
-Infrastructure Design Suite Open Source
The download you have is actually a Infrastructure Design Suite install...
The UAC (User Account Control) should be disabled if this is a Windows 7 or Windows Vista operating System...procedure located at website below: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-AU/windows-vista/T
Any Anti-virus software should be disabled at the time of install...
Ensure you are selecting the checkbox to include the AutoCAD Civil 3d 2013..
Once the install is finised ensure it indicates that all products were installed successfully...
If you are having issues uninstalling or reinstalling the Civil 3d 2013 software use the Microsoft fixit website link below...

MSR Lightning Snowshoe - Women's
? Share a...
Stephanie Cole
are the bindings on the women's lightnings...
are the bindings on the women's lightnings smaller than the ones on the men's? I just got the mens version for xmas and the binding gaps on the side of the foot. Is this normal? My foot is only a women's 6.5...
I also wear a 6.5 women's boot and truthfully the bindings on my 22" lightnings bulge on JUST ONE shoe.....the other is fine. hmmm? doesn't create any worry at all...unless you look down and aren't please with the aesthetics. Adjusting your foot position back may lessen the gap, just be sure to maintain the ball of foot position correctly centered.I wore a men's versions and the binding fit was similar although the shoe width was a tad bit more and I clumsily bang my shoes together.
Super lightweight, easy to put on, literally float on snow - it's really nice that all boots are compatible with these snowshoes. But the toe bindings for me DID budge - a lot - I almost lost a shoe! I'm definitely going to finagle some duct tape action or something to keep the toe bindings tight because I love the shoes otherwise.
Heather Harvie
are these snowshoes sold at $229 a pair...
are these snowshoes sold at $229 a pair or $229 each which represents $458 a pair?

Ok, so, say you absolutely demolish the top lane, so the enemy pulls a derpy move, and send 2-3 people bot against your bot. What do you do here? Do you send people back to d bot and recap it? NO. NO NO NO NO NO. If you have lost bot, and still have 4 top, when they have 2-3 at your bot, they are EXPECTING you to send your stronger player/champs bot to counter them, and they will be turtling it, so their other players will take your top from you when it's weakened. Do not go back to defend bottom or take it back, instead, use the obvious advantage that they are gambling on you not realizing. You only have two, in some cases, one person to defend on a turret against a push by 4. So what do you do? You kill the guards and cap thier mid, at this point, they have two options, they can either cap your mid, which is a really bad idea, holding their bottom, and your bottom+mid, it's almost impossible to D and they will lose it. OR, they can all b from your bottom to capture their mid back, which leaves your bot open again. Which also means you can have someone B and get back in time to top to defend it, and you now have three lanes again. When they go 3 on your bottom, they are BANKING on the idea that you are going to take 3/5ths of the team wasting to get it back, instead of capping them back and using their move against them, because having a point next to a spawn is intimidating. But it also makes it harder for them to D it properly if they have other points under fire. So, next time they push bot and cap your bot point with three people, **** helping bot. Seriously, cap their mid, and use their strategy against them. They want you to waste the positions to retake bot, thereby stopping your early advantage.
This is great advice. One of the single biggest problems in Dominion now is players who keep bashing their heads against a brick wall by repeatedly and mindlessly attacking a well-camped tower that they have no chance of taking, and feeding kill after kill in the process. Learn flexibility people! If they are camping a tower, quit focusing that tower and go where they aren't!
As somebody who mains bot lane at a somewhat higher elo, I regret to inform you that problem rarely gets better. The problem isn't the relative skill level, it's how knowledgeable people are when it comes to bot lane. +1
I think you see this even more often with Windmill.
How about your team sends help to your bot BEFORE you lose it... What is this thread I don't even...
TLDR, team that stays in visible areas loses initiative and gets screwed. I think, in retrospect, barring suicidal solo artistry or utterly awful line ups, this is how I see all Dominion games lost/won. I've seen significantly stronger teams that convincingly won previous team fights get crushed when they attempt to cap a point and the enemy team initiates on them from the shroud.
Good advice indeed. Too often I find my teammates wanting to initiate on top when they enemy is turtling there (leaving mid undefended), or send too many people down bottom when it gets attacked, leaving me alone to try for the logical back-cap. Much of Dominion, I think, is taking the path (or point) of least resistance.
Birthday Deluxe
Generally speaking, if you can get to a point and defend it before it gets capped or neutralized, it's better to go on defense; as long as you have the turret backing you up it's possible to 1v2 or 2v3 the enemy for quite some time. However, if you think you'll lose the turret before backup can get to it, you're probably better off going elsewhere. If they take your bot and try to hunker down with more than two, it'll generally work against them, since they expose themselves pretty much everywhere else; ignore your bot and assault their mid or bot and you should dislodge them.
I have one. Let's say you kill the enemy bottom but he manages to get your point neutralized. The other four enemies are either visible or dead. What do you do? You take the enemy bottom without minions! Even though your own point needs retaking, the enemy point is a rare opportunity. Take the enemy bottom, then either back off and retake your own bottom, or let an ally retake it on the way out of spawn so you can try to hold. This is even a good idea if the enemy minions threaten to take your own bottom; it's still going to be easy to recap without an enemy champ there.

The Par Phuket Hotel is surrounded by tropical gardens and it is designed in modern styles. This Phuket hotel provides excellent and friendly services with sincere care for all guests. It is located nearby premier golf courses, approximately a 45-minute drive from Phuket International Airport and just 10 minutes from Patong Beach.

The Par Phuket Hotel features air conditioned rooms with private balconies and comfortable beds.

The own restaurant serves great food from mornings to late evenings.
We stayed in the Surin Sabai Condimunium for 1 night prior to our flight to Bangkok. The hotel is located on a main road and only 5 minutes from the nearest beach. The beach also has various restaurants and bars right on the sand as well as watersports. Opposite the hotel is a 7 eleven and Tesco Lotus supermarket. Our room was very clean and modern with a small kitchenette area which is great with the Tesco across the road. As it is a serviced apartment, they don t provide breakfast but we bought food at the Tesco and made breakfast ourselves the next morning. The kitchenette has all crockery and cutlery available. Our room was on the ground floor and had a patio which led out to a small, green garden which was nice. The bathroom is modern and well appointed. The only complaint is that there isn t a soap dish/ tray in the shower so you have nowhere to put the complimentary soap when showering. Staff was very helpful in booking a taxi at 4h45am the next morning and the taxi was on time. Wifi is available in the lobby area. There is also a great local restaurant very close to the condo. From the driveway, turn left and walk down about 2 minutes called Bluelagoon. Very helpful owner and food was cheap but delicious.

In my opinion the best value for money. The rooms were clean, a/c was cool and provides a lot of independence. The only downside is that there are some hotels closer to the beach (about 5minutes walk).

Not bad... got the job done and was reasonably helpful.

Oak Creek raises salaries for nonunion workers
Searches for replacement finance director
Oak Creek - The Common Council focused on employees Tuesday. From hiring an interim finance director to renewing the city administrator's contract and approving salary benefits for nonunion and part-time employees, personnel talks dominated this week's council meeting.
Mark Wyss retires
Mark Wyss has stepped down as the city's finance director. He will be moving to West Allis, where he served as finance director from 1987 to 2002.
The move wasn't an easy decision for Wyss, who said that West Allis asked him to come back.
"When they first contacted me I told them I wasn't interested," Wyss said. "They called back and asked why I wasn't interested. I said I had no reason to leave."
West Allis was in need of a director, however. Their past director had been gone for over a year, Wyss said.
Citing West Allis' decision to take him in early in his career, Wyss accepted the offer. He plans to work out his career there.
Wyss said he'll miss Oak Creek, adding, "I've got a lot of friends here that, as I told them in an email, I was going to keep in contact with them whether they liked that or not."
Interim director
Oak Creek approved hiring an interim finance director Tuesday. A temporary agreement was made between the city and GovTempsUSA to hire Denise Vandenbush from Dec. 5 to April 5 with an option to lengthen the temporary employment by an additional three months.
Vandenbush will receive $66.50 per hour, at an average rate of 30 hours per week. Her benefits are handled by GovTempsUSA.
The interim director has previous experience as a finance director for the Elmbrook School District, village of Shorewood, city of Milwaukee and private businesses.
New administrator contract
The council approved a new contract for City Administrator Gerald Peterson. The contract increases Peterson's salary from $115,000 to $118,000 per year. This is the first pay increase the administrator has seen since being hired in 2008.
According to Peterson, he and other city staffers volunteered to have no pay increase last year.
"We basically had employees required to pay 6 percent into their pensions, and we thought it wasn't important to increase our pay," he said.
Peterson will have 20 days of paid time-off, which hasn't changed since last year.
Salary increases
The council also voted to increase many midrange salaries for their nonunion and part-time workers. The midrange increase is targeted at those who are in the middle of their salary range and includes those who have worked for a while, but haven't seen reached the maximum amount of salary available.
Twenty-three positions will get salary increases ranging from $300 to $5,000. Although the mid-ranges are increasing, the city is not increasing salary caps.
The city also increased pay for part-time workers. Six positions will see a raise, including clerical help, recreation coordinator and part-time city attorney. The increases range from a $0. 25 hourly increase for park and highway labor to a $6.39 hourly raise for the public nurse.

Former president Bill Clinton just appeared in a reelection television commercial for President Barack Obama. At one point, Clinton weighs in on the potential consequences of Obama's decision to go ahead with the planned assassination of Osama bin Laden. He smiles and then pontificates, "Suppose the Navy SEALs had gone in there . . . suppose they had been captured or killed. The downside would have been horrible for him [Obama]."
There is a lot that is disturbing about Clinton's commentary — and about the fact that such an embarrassment was not deleted by the Obama campaign. Clinton offers unintended self-incrimination as to why in the 1990s he did not order the capture of bin Laden when it might well have been in his power to do so — was it fear of something "horrible" that might have happened to his fortunes rather than to our troops? And, of course, such crass politicization of national security and the war on terror is exactly what Barack Obama accused the two Clintons of in the 2008 Democratic primaries. We also remember that Obama on several occasions chastised George W. Bush for supposedly making reference to the war on terror for political advantage, though he never did so in as creepy a fashion as Clinton. And aside from the fact that Barack Obama promised never to "spike the football" by using the SEAL mission to score campaign points, only a narcissistic Bill Clinton could have envisioned the death or capture of Navy SEALs not in terms of those men's own horrible fates, but only as political "downside" for an equally narcissistic Barack Obama.
As for the civilian responsibility for approving such hazardous missions for our intelligence and military communities, Obama has never confessed, then or now, that most of the anti-terrorism protocols that led to critical intelligence about the probable whereabouts of bin Laden had been strongly opposed by Obama himself. Indeed, almost every Bush-Cheney policy that President Obama eventually embraced — renditions, tribunals, Guantanamo, the Patriot Act — was opposed by Obama as a state legislator, a U.S. senator, and a presidential candidate. Apparently, there is no loudly announced "reset" when it comes to the war on terror.
The logic of the narcissistic mind in matters of the war on terror works out something like this:
The president will take credit for all the successes on his watch, without ever acknowledging reliance on the policies put in place during the eight years before he took office, much less admitting that he once did his best to undermine all of those inheritances that he eventually found so useful. And in matters concerning his predecessor, Obama will damn Bush for the bad economy that he left to his successor and yet ignore Bush for the successful anti-terrorism protocols that he passed on.
Unfortunately, the latest triumphalism is a continuance of a long line of self-adulation that we have grown accustomed to in Barack Obama since he came to the public's attention — the professor's two memoirs without a single commensurate scholarly publication; the Latinate motto; the faux-Greek columns; the biblical quelling of the rising seas and cooling of the planet; the fallback retreat to the Victory Column when questions were raised about the appropriateness of the Brandenburg Gate as a venue for his speech; and so on. The common characteristics in Obama's I/me/my career have been such rhetorical, visual, and symbolic efforts to mask an absence of accomplishment (e.g., why not even one Harvard Law Review article, or perhaps a single publication as a University of Chicago lecturer, or a successful program as a Chicago community organizer, or a signature piece of legislation as an Illinois legislator, or an acknowledged legislative record as a U.S. senator?).

Tutorial: Basic Cosplay Make-upBasic Information:Tutorial: Basic Cosplay Make-up2 years ago in Personal More Like This
As said before: English is not my native language. I'm sorry for every mistake I made while writing. I'm just showing you what works for me. This is a "you can" tutorial and not "you must". I hope this gives you a basic idea on how I do it and helps you as well. I will not show you any brands of make-up I work with since they are different from country to country. I'm not a dermatologist or a professional make-up artist, so I can't give you tips for "problem skin" cases like acne and so on. Please consult a doctor and let them give you tips for what's best to use before buying something randomly
If you don't know what make-up to use out of the hilarious amount of available products in stores ask a vendor in the store of your choice. They will help you.
This tutorial will be the base for every upcoming make-up related tutorial I will post in the future.
1. Preperations:
First of all I clean my skin and apply vanishing crème. It's always good to do so

You greatly remember your horrible past as you were in the quiet carriage.
"Daddy, where did Mommy go?" You asked, scared and worried for your Mom's sake. "Don't worry about that, sweetie. Daddy's got'cha," Daddy replied. Daddy cradled you against his chest and running for his and your life. It was rainy and the sky was a dark gray with purple lighting flashing back and forth. Tears were running down your face. You were only five years old.
Then, a loud bang from a gun was fired. You gripped Daddy's shirt with all the strength in your fist. You didn't do anything but cry much more. It was horrifying.
Your mom was back, way behind you two, fighting to make sure that you two were gonna be safe.
Your mom...died from being shot in a lung. Daddy lost his energy and fell over with you still wrapped in his arms. "Daddy?" You asked, crying so hard, all you saw was blur. Purple lighting was only a couple feet away from you.

So here it is. Popularity is a big issue in the art world, as is expected. When you're popular, you get more people knowing who you are, and when more people know who you are, you have a better chance to sell your work and for higher prices. Simply because your name is well known for that thing you do.
I notice alot of people out there right now racing to be the first to do something, to claim that little slice of originality to put their name on. And once that "first" has been taken...alot of artists are seeming to just drop off, back down, and say "well if I can't be first, then why bother trying? I'll never be well known as a runner up." This is just..plain wrong. The person to do something first, (whether it be creating an idea or design, or becoming liked/noticed out of a group of

.:Baby, It's Cold Outside:. (JackXReader OneShot)(Y/n) giggled softly as a beautiful snowflake landed on her nose. She loved winter, thus it being her favourite time of year. She walked through a small park where she lived and sat on a frozen over bench, looking up at the cloudy sky. She smiled contently and pulled her scarf over her nose. She lost herself in a daydream for a minute...that is until some one threw a snowball at her. "H-Hey!!" She screeched, wiping the now slushy snow from her jacket. She looked around, but no one was there. She sighed. 'Damn kids...' She thought, going back into a daydream. Then, a pile of snow fell upon her from above. "WHAT THE HELL?!" She yelled, seeing no one close enough to do such a thing. She stood up and shook off the snow, storming off. She was stopped by a falling icicle and she swore steam came out of her ears. "Not FUNNY!" She groaned, taking a sharp turn as she headed home. Just as she had made the turn, more snow fell upon her. It practically melted off of her, seeing how mad she was.

My dog, Luna, apparently has bladder stones, and on top of the $150 x-ray, she might need to get surgery to have them removed, if the $100 specialty food my parents are giving her doesn't dissolve them. As it is, my parent's aren't very wealthy, and having a University student who can barely afford to survive on their own certainly isn't helping the situation.
As such, I'd like to open up to commission and/or donation to try and help ease Luna's medical bill as much as possible.

Close to your heart
BY Yasmin Boland Astrology expert
This is a great week for communications regarding love and money, or about anything that is close to your heart.
The planets Mercury (communications and trips) and Venus (love and abundance) are linking together on Friday. This means that between now and then is an ideal time for talking about anything you value, be it a friendship or a physical item.
What is extra useful about this link is that it offers a second chance. If there is something you have been meaning to say about, for example, your pay or your love life, now is your chance.
When Mercury links to Venus, Mercury will be going over the same ground it covered recently during the Mercury retrograde cycle. So whatever you chickened out on saying? Say it now.
This week is also the lead up to the full Moon, which will take place next Sunday in Scorpio. Emotions will be running high as we get closer to the weekend. Emotions tend to be more intense around the full Moon and when the Moon is in Scorpio, we are talking serious heat.
If you are angry with someone, your best bet is to use the first half of the week to let it out, rather than allowing it to explode in a full Moon frenzy.

Hamlet's BlackBerry: A Practical Philosophy for Building a Good Life in the Digital Age (Google eBook)A crisp, passionately argued answer to the question that everyone who's grown dependent on digital devices is asking: "Where's the rest of my life?" At a time when we're all trying to make sense of our relentlessly connected lives, this revelatory book presents a bold new approach to the digital age. Part intellectual journey, part memoir, Hamlet's BlackBerry sets out to solve what William Powers calls the conundrum of connectedness. Our computers and mobile devices do wonderful things for us. But they also impose an enormous burden, making it harder for us to focus, do our best work, build strong relationships, and find the depth and fulfillment we crave. Hamlet's BlackBerry argues that we need a new way of thinking, an everyday philosophy for life with screens. To find it, Powers reaches into the past, uncovering a rich trove of ideas that have helped people manage and enjoy their connected lives for thousands of years. New technologies have always brought the mix of excitement and stress that we feel today. Drawing on some of history's most brilliant thinkers, from Plato to Shakespeare to Thoreau, he shows that digital connectedness serves us best when it's balanced by its opposite, disconnectedness. Using his own life as laboratory and object lesson, Powers demonstrates why this is the moment to revisit our relationship to screens and mobile technologies, and how profound the rewards of doing so can be. Lively, original, and entertaining, Hamlet's BlackBerry will challenge you to rethink your digital life. |

5 A GAME FIT FOR THE ELVEN KINGS!Quiggan | 14/03/2008 | See all Quiggan's reviews (166)Top 100 Reviewer Top 100 DVD Reviewer Top 100 Music Reviewer Fans of Peter Jackson's THE LORD OF THE RINGS Trilogy are in for a real treat with THE THIRD AGE! Spanning all three films and featuring main characters (complete with original film actor's voices) at key scenes, this game is a sheer delight to play!The adventure begins with a sole character - a Gondorian soldier - but he is soon joined by five others in an original story which superbly ties in with the Trilogy. Hence throughout the quest the Party finds itself at places such as Helms Deep and the Pelennor Fields in time to fight some impressive set-piece battles!Each Party character (which includes an Elf, Dwarf and member of the Dunedain) is unique and has strengths and weaknesses to match. By gaining experience points for winning battles and completing quests, they can improve any of their eight statistics (hit points, constitution, dexterity etc) for greater chance of survival. As characters increase levels and grow stronger, new skills become available to them via an extensive skill tree, adding a strategic element to the game. Being proficient in a certain skill can make all the difference between winning and losing vital encounters. Along the way they may also find new, and improved, weapons and equipment too.Battles, and there are plenty of them, are either Planned or Random encounters. Planned battles (such as the Balrog at the Bridge of Khazad Dum and Saruman's forces at Helms Deep) must be won to progress in the game. Random battles can be avoided if desired, for the Party receives plenty of warning that enemies are nearby, but are best fought anyway to gain experience and items.The combat system is turn-based. Each character is placed in a Battle Queue and will act only at certain times. Their actions may drastically change the sequence of events that occur, from altering the order of battle to effecting which attacks a character may use. Certain actions prevent counter attacks, for instance, while others cause continuous damage over time ensuring that enemies may even die before having a chance to fight back! Battle actions use Action Points, with powerful attacks obviously using up more, although these can be regenerated by magic or using specific items found throughout the game. A universal, low-powered basic attack uses no Action Points whatsoever, allowing characters with few points (or strategically wishing to save those they have) to still participate in the fight.There are a few minor problems with the game. The 3D perspectives, while brilliant to look at, sometimes hinder movement and the battles can become very long-winded. This is especially noticeable at Helms Deep, where wave upon wave of attacking Orcs take over half an hour to defeat, and frustration creeps in if the battle is lost and must be re-fought again right from the beginning, but perseverance and attempting different tactics are the key to success.Featuring many hours of game play, the ability to (temporarily) control key characters such as Gandalf and Aragorn, combined with an exciting and intriguing story, THE THIRD AGE is one of the very best games to come out of Middle Earth and as such is highly recommended!
5 Great gameGamezrule | 17/02/2009 | See all Gamezrule's reviews (45)It is a great game! The graphics are fantastic, the different moves are good and the storyline going from Moria to the Pellenor Fields are just great and if you didn't have Idrial, then you would never complete the game because she learns how to keep people alive and raising people from the dead so if your person is dead, then when you use Idrial you can bring him/her back to life! This is the best game that the lord of the rings has made! The whole story makes sense and the value is great so it is a must BUY!!!!!!
