Fashion Advice: Always Look Your Best
Fashion is more than what you look like. It is a state of mind. It is making a statement about yourself without saying a word. When you dress well, you say something fantastic about yourself before you even say anything. If you want to make a stronger statement, keep reading for some smart fashion tips.
When you wear two items of the same color, make sure that the shades are a perfect or near-perfect match. For example, do not wear a navy blue shirt with a midnight blue pair of pants. Even though they are both blue, it does not look as well put together as it would have if both pieces were the same color.
If you're still new to online shopping, then you should really speak to your friends, and ask them about the various websites they frequent. I can guarantee you that it won't be long before you know your way around the online stores and that's when you'll really appreciate being able to go online to shop for wide range of ladies swimwear from hottest collection of swimsuits & bikinis available at DISCOUNT prices!
If you are a mother, fashion is probably the last thing on your mind, But know that it is possible to look good and practical at the same time. Whether taking the kids to the park, sporting events or any other event, spruce up your look with a nice Tall Tees and a pair of flat sandals!
A good tip if you're trying to improve your appearance is to discuss Bella Terra Cosmetics and more idea you will find on online forums. It looks silly when you're always wearing a shirt with a big fat logo on the front. Subtlety is the key here so you might want to tone it down sometimes.

- "You can't shake no hands when ye fist be clenched."
- ―Little Jacob
Jacob Hughes, better known as Little Jacob, is a character in the Grand Theft Auto series who appears as the tritagonist and a friend in Grand Theft Auto IV.
Little Jacob is a Jamaican drugs and arms dealer and the underboss of the Hillside Posse, a Jamaican street gang, under the command of Real Badman, a long-time friend of his. Throughout the game, Little Jacob serves as a close and trustworthy friend for Niko Bellic, providing some of the earlier missions and aiding Niko during later missions. He ultimately proves to be the closest friend for the Bellic cousins.
Little Jacob was voiced by Coolie Ranx, a musician best known for his membership in the third wave ska bands The Toasters and Pilfers.
Early years
Little is known about Jacob's life prior to Grand Theft Auto IV. He was born in Jamaica, circa 1982. At some point in his life, Jacob met Teafore Maxwell-Davies, and the two became very close friends, and eventually formed the Hillside Posse, a Jamaican gang, going under the names "Little Jacob" and "Real Badman", respectively.
Life in Liberty City
Some time prior to the early 2000s, Jacob and Badman moved to Liberty City. In 2001, they both were arrested for armed robbery. The two were also arrested later two times, at the same years, only with different crimes; In 2002, Jacob was arrested for burglary, and in 2006, Badman was arrested for possessing marijuana.
Jacob and Badman continued to build their gang in Liberty City, basing a café called Homebrew Café in Broker, which served as their base of operations. They also formed partnerships with the known drug baron Elizabeta Torres, and the Latin street gang, the Spanish Lords. Jacob and Badman also became enemies of the African-American gangs, mainly a few drug dealers in Bohan. There is also a faction within the Hillside Posse who are opposed to Jacob and Badman.
At some point before 2008, Jacob became close friends with Roman Bellic, the owner of Express Car Service, a small taxi depot, and the two formed a strong bond with each other.
Events of Grand Theft Auto IV
Meeting Niko
- "Ya Niko? The one me man Roman's been talking about all this time? Cousin Niko, gonna help Roman take over de world and ting?"
- ―Jacob meeting Niko.
Jacob first meets Niko Bellic, Roman's cousin, after he calls Roman for a taxi. Having no other driver, Roman sends Niko to pick up Jacob. Jacob waits for Niko on Oneida Avenue in South Slopes, and asks Niko to drive him to an alleyway off Dillon Street in Schottler. During the drive to the meeting, Jacob gives Niko a Glock 22 pistol in order to watch out the meeting.
At the alleyway, Niko takes up a position to watch over Jacob during the meeting. However, much to Jacob's surprise, three rival Yardies arrive rather than the expected one. They begin shooting at Jacob, but are killed in the crossfire of Jacob and Niko. A fourth Yardie appears on the roof, but is shot by Niko. After the failed assassination attempt on him, Jacob asks Niko to drive him to the Homebrew Café. After they arrive to the cafe, Jacob gives Niko his phone number, hoping to stay in contact with him.
- "The ras clot tinks he can cold up Badman. He a fool... he's a dead fool... De boy is no match for I and I. He's nuttin!"
- ―Jacob, on the man who set up the drug deal.
Some time after their first meeting, Niko arrives to Jacob's apartment to receive more work. Jacob comes out his apartment, and tells Niko about an attempt to make peace with some of his and Badman's rivals, as well as making a drug deal with them. However, Jacob does not trust the dealers to remain peaceful. The two drive to an apartment on Saratoga Avenue in Willis. The dealers attempt to rob Jacob, but fail and attempt to escape; they are taken down by Niko. Understanding that the deal was a trap, Niko and Jacob head to Savannah Avenue in Meadows Park, where the rest of the dealers live. Niko and Jacob storm into the house, killing the dealers. With the dealers dead, Jacob asks Niko to drive him to the Homebrew Café.
After a few days, in which Niko has begun working for the Russian Mafia, Jacob sends him a message asking him to come over his apartment for more work. Entering the apartment, Niko is pinned down by Badman, who thought Niko to be an intruder. After a more proper introduction between the two, Badman and Jacob explain to Niko that they have a rivalry with a group of drug dealers moving in on their territory. They send Niko to eliminate the dealers, who are located in Fortside, Bohan. Niko follows the dealer into an apartment building. Inside, Niko kills the dealer and his two suppliers. After completing the job, Niko phones Jacob to tell him about his success.
Subsequently, Jacob begins hanging out with Niko and the two begin to become friends rather than associates in crime. After becoming close friends with Niko, Jacob will offer to sell him weapons, ammunition, and armour.
Drug deliveries
After completing Jacob's missions, he calls Niko and asks if he would like to continue working for him and Badman. Niko agrees, and Jacob offers drug delivery side-missions. Every time Niko accepts a job, Jacob leaves him a beater car loaded with drugs, and has him drive it to clients or drop-off locations. During some deliveries, Niko is ambushed by either the police or a rival gang.
After completing the tenth deliver, Jacob informs Niko that the LCPD are cracking down and they can no longer send him to deliver drugs. However, he and Badman decide to reward Niko with a unique Huntley Sport, decorated in the colours of the Hillside Posse.
Dimitri's betrayal
- "I told you Dimitri was a snake in de grass."
- ―Jacob to Niko, regarding Dimitri's betrayal.
After Niko kills Mikhail Faustin under the orders Dimitri Rascalov, the two decide to meet in a warehouse near Broker's docks so Dimitri can pay Niko for the hit. Jacob phones Niko, and upon hearing about the meeting, decides to serve as Niko's backup in case Dimitri betrays him. Niko meets Jacob around the back of the warehouse.
Jacob's thoughts are proven to be right; Dimitri reveals he has allied himself with Ray Bulgarin, an old enemy of Niko's, and the two attempt to murder Niko, resulting in a large shootout. Jacob helps Niko to kill the Russian mobsters, but Dimitri and Bulgarin escape as the police arrive. Jacob and Niko manage to escape the warehouse as well, and Niko drives Jacob to the Homebrew Café. During the drive, Niko vowes to kill Dimitri and Bulgarin, while Jacob assures him the they will pay for trying to kill them.
In the next mission, Dimitri and Bulgarin set both Roman's apartment and taxi depot on fire, driving both him and Niko out of Broker and into Bohan. After the incident, Jacob sends a message to Niko regarding the latest events.
Once in Bohan, Niko begins to work with Elizabeta Torres, a drug baron in Liberty City, whom he met through Mallorie Bardas. After Niko protects Packie McReary during a drug deal for her, Jacob calls Niko to ask if he works for Elizabeta, and tells him that she is a rather good employer and even Badman is afraid of her.
Jacob later briefly works with Elizabeta, trying to help her in selling some cocaine to the Spanish Lords. However, they and their associates, The Angels of Death, rip them off. Elizabeta accuses Jacob of orchestrating the betrayal, which he loudly denies. Mid-argument, Elizabeta calls Niko in an effort to diffuse the situation, as she cannot understand what Jacob is saying.
Niko arrives at Elizabeta's apartment, stopping the argument between her and Jacob. After hearing the situation, Niko heads to the Old Hospital on Colony Island while Jacob heads to their meeting point in an alley in Chase Point. Niko clears the hospital of gangsters and bikers before getting the drugs, but police descended on the area, forcing him to flee. After meeting Jacob in the alley, the two are confronted by Michelle, Niko's girlfriend, who reveals herself to be a government agent who was tasked with watching Niko. Michelle takes the cocaine whilst Niko and Jacob part ways.
Jacob also calls Niko during Elizabeta's last mission, asking him if he wants to hang out with him, but Niko declines the offer, as he was tasked with bringing the corpses of Manny Escuela and Jay Hamilton to a doctor in Broker, saying that he's currently hanging out with two other friends.
Working for United Liberty Paper
Betrayed by his girlfriend, Niko begins to work for a government agency called United Liberty Paper. Niko's contact in the agency begins to send Niko to eliminate various Russians throughout the city.
In the contact's last mission, he sends Niko to eliminate the Russian businessman Eduard Borodin, who has been financing terrorist groups. The contact decides to send Jacob along as well in order to support Niko. Jacob and Niko take a Maverick helicopter (which was stolen by Niko in the contact's previous mission), and track down Borodin's Maverick, flying over Algonquin. In order to not hurt any citizens, the two follow Borodin out to sea, where Jacob pulls a Rocket Launcher and destroys Borodin's helicopter, killing the Russian businessman in the progress. Niko then flies Jacob to the helitours helipad.
Jacob appears in both endings of Grand Theft Auto IV: Deal and Revenge. In both endings he plays a similar role.
Near the end of the game, Roman decides to marry his girlfriend Mallorie, while Niko decides to work once more with Dimitri, in order to get money for Roman and himself.
Jacob, alongside Badman, attends Roman's wedding, meeting Niko and Roman's other friends there. After the ceremony, an unnamed Russian man arrives, attempting to murder Niko. Niko struggles with him, and after firing a stray shot, succeeds in forcing the pistol back and shooting the assassin in the head. Roman, however, was accidentally shot and killed during the struggle. Losing his temper, Niko begins to shoot and kick the killer's corpse, but Jacob stops him, saying that they will find Dimitri and his associate Jimmy Pegorino and make them pay.
The following day, Jacob calls Niko, telling him he found two members of the Pegorino crime family. Niko and Jacob follow Pegorino's men to the abandoned Alderney Casino. Pegorino's men begin to shoot at them, causing Jacob and Niko to hide behind their car. While Jacob is willing to fight the mobsters, Niko wants to deal with them alone, asking Jacob to bring a transportation method instead; Jacob runs away from the casino.
After Niko fights his way through the casino, withnessing Dimitri execute Pegorino, Niko chases him on a boat, while Dimitri is in a helicopter. Jacob then arrives in an Annihilator, and Niko jumps off the boat to the helicopter. The two continue their chase after Dimitri. Both helicopters crash onto Happiness Island, leading Niko to chase Dimitri down on foot. After finishing off Dimitri, Niko and Jacob leave the island.
Near the end of the game, Roman decides to marry to his girlfriend Mallorie, while Niko decides to finish off Dimitri, finally avenging all the people that Dimitri betrayed.
Jacob, alongside Badman, attends Roman's wedding, meeting Niko and Roman's other friends there. After the ceremony, Jimmy Pegorino, armed with an AK-47, drives by the wedding and begins to shoot at the guests in an effort to kill Niko. Instead, he accidentally kills Niko's girlfriend, Kate McReary, before escaping the area. An enraged Niko is calmed down by Jacob and Roman, who promise him that they will find Pegorino.
The following day, Jacob calls Niko, telling him he found two members of the Pegorino crime family. Niko, Jacob and Roman follow Pegorino's men to the abandoned Alderney Casino. Pegorino's men begin to shoot at them, leading Jacob and Niko to hide behind their car. While Jacob and Roman are willing to fight the mobsters, Niko wants to deal with them alone, asking Jacob and Roman to bring a transportation method instead; Jacob and Roman run away from the casino.
After Niko fights his way through the casino, he confronts Pegorino, but he flees. Niko begins to chase him on a dirt bike, while Pegorino attempts to escape on a boat. Jacob and Roman then arrives in an Annihilator, and Niko jumps off the bike and into the helicopter. The two continue their chase after Pegorino. Both the helicopter and the boat crash onto Happiness Island, leading Niko to chase Pegorino down on foot. After finishing off Pegorino, Jacob, Niko and Roman leave the island.
Personality and traits
Little Jacob reveals considerably less about his personal life than other friendship characters. Instead, he and Niko often insightfully discuss philosophy and concerns for other people they know. According to Badman during his random encounter, Jacob has a girlfriend that he loves very much and often treats to gifts (which Jacob mentions once himself). Jacob and Badman once had a third friend nicknamed Grandad who could keep Badman calm, but he has since moved back to Jamaica. One of Jacob's best traits is loyalty, as he always stands by Niko and goes out of his way to help him.
Jacob is a typical Rastafarian who speaks in Iyaric (terms like "I and I", "Brother" and "Rasta"), discusses Jah, Rasta and Zionist ideals with Niko, and finds most non-Ital food and weed distasteful (ironically, his first appearance in the game is a brief cutscene outside a Burger Shot and he also likes the food in Cluckin' Bell). His accent is difficult to understand, but much easier in comparison on to Badman's near-impenetrable Jamaican patois, so Jacob often acts as translator. He loves reggae music, particularly the stations Tuff Gong Radio (an all-Bob Marley station) and Massive B Soundsystem 96.9. He mentions being a huge fan of reggae artist Sonny Bradshaw, calling him his "uncle" spiritually. Jacob and Niko also both like Bobby Konders.
Jacob constantly smokes marijuana (even during the helicopter chase in Paper Trail), seeing it as "enlightenment", although other times he says he is trying to quit. He often speaks of his concern for Badman smoking too much marijuana and becoming highly paranoid (an effect that Jacob does not experience). Jacob confesses that he thinks Badman may turn on him one day in his paranoia.
Jacob is a dark-skinned man with long dreadlocks, which he often has tied up and a short circle beard. He often wears black glasses with orange lenses. Throughout the game, Jacob wears three different outfits:
- Casual outfit - Jacob's regular outfit, which he wears the most. This outfit consists of a large old brown jacket with a black shirt that has a green and yellow flag on it and a pair of beige pants that are lightly held with a black belt. The outfit is completed with beige shoes.
- Second casual outfit - This outfit consists of a dark-green sleeveless jacket on a green sweater with purple stripes. Jacob is seen wearing this outfit during "The Snow Storm".
- Event outfit - A rather formal outfit. Similar to the second casual outfit, this outfit consists of a sleeveless jacket on a sweater; only in this outfit, the jacket is black while the sweater is white. This outfit is completed with a pair of black pants and brown shoes. Jacob is seen wearing this outfit during "Mr and Mrs Bellic" and the following mission. Jacob may also be seen wearing this outfit while hanging out and when he meets Niko to sell him weapons.
Following the mission "Shadow", Jacob becomes available as a friend, triggered by a phone call in which he asks Niko to either hang out with him, or to drive him to a certain location. Jacob is the second friend introduced in Grand Theft Auto IV. Jacob is available between 1 PM until 4 AM.
Similar to the other friends in the game (save for Brucie Kibbutz), there are six activities that the player can do with Jacob: Drink, eat, play pool, visit a strip club, attend a show, and play darts.
Jacob's favorite locations to eat are fast food restaurants, particularly Cluckin' Bell. Jacob's favorite drinking place is Club Liberty.
At 75% friendship stat, Jacob will offer to sell the player weapons, ammunition, and armour. Niko can buy Jacob's weapons at 30% discount. Jacob's weapons are unlocked gradually.
- Glock - A common weapon that deals moderate damage. This is one of Jacob's main weapons, and he makes a use of it during "Jamaican Heat" and "Concrete Jungle", against rival drugs dealers. Jacob also gives Niko a Glock during the former.
- Micro Uzi - A small SMG that deals moderate damage, with a high rate of fire. Jacob makes a use of his Micro-Uzi during "Russian Revolution", against Russian mobsters. He also wields one in both ending missions, but does not make use of the weapon.
- RPG - A powerful rocket launcher. Jacob uses the weapon only once, during "Paper Trail", in which he kills Eduard Borodin with it.

This is surgery of the abdominal wall and intestines. An opening is made into the intestines to drain the contents out or put in a feeding tube.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
This surgery is done when a new exit for intestinal or fecal matter is needed. It may be needed when feces can no longer travel through the bowels and out the anus.
An enterostomy may also be needed when food can no longer enter the mouth or stomach normally. In this case, a feeding tube will be placed to help food enter the intestines.
Problems from the procedure are rare, but all procedures have some risk. Your doctor will review potential problems, like:
Before your procedure, talk to your doctor about ways to manage factors that may increase your risk of complications such as:
General anesthesia will be used. It will block any pain and keep you asleep through the surgery. It is given through an IV in your hand or arm.
There are different ways this surgery can be done. In one technique, an intestinal sac for collecting fecal waste is created inside of the abdomen. This sac will include a hole called a stoma in the abdominal wall. The stoma allows access to the sac so that it can be emptied through a tube. In another technique, the intestine is directly attached to the abdominal wall so that an external bag can be attached to collect fecal waste.
If the surgery is done to place a feeding tube, an incision will be made in your abdominal wall. The doctor will grasp a section of your small intestine. A small opening will be made. The tube will be placed through this opening and secured in place with sutures. The tube will then be brought through your abdominal wall. It will be secured with sutures.
These procedures may be done by an:
Anesthesia will prevent pain during surgery. Pain and discomfort after the procedure can be managed with medications.

My boyfriend and I decided to do things differently and chose the ring together. I decided to go with this one, because i thought it was elegant and the price was right, and i am so happy with it! The diamonds are gorgeous and the shape of them are so unique. I love the band, and the size of the entire ring is so perfect.
After having this ring for a year and not wearing it very much a stone has fallen out and its not white gold anymore. Plus its never fit right, but it was a good deal and i just wanted to own something real.
I bought this as an accent ring and it was almost a perfect fit.
My son bought this ring for his girlfriend after they had gone to a department store and picked a pretty little sterling ring with a small diamond. As is the norm, the ring came in a size 7, but she needed a 5. We went to two jeweler regarding sizing it down, but because it was coated in rhodium to preserve the shiney silver finish, they said sizing it would be very noticable and the finish would be ruined at the sizing area. We returned the ring to the store after I had been looking at Overstock.com and saw that we could get much better value along with very reasonable shipping. This ring is 10K and cost less than the department store sterling silver ring! When we opened the box the the marquis centerpiece really stood out and was impressively clear and sparkly. The only negative thing is that I noticed that one tiney diamond on each side of the marquis were darker than they should be. Overall a very good buy for the money!
I love me new ring. It fits perfectly. Price seemed fair. If I wanted another ring I would check out your web sight.
My girl friend loves this ring. We have been together for 2 1/2 years and this is the first real thing I have ever gotten her. So needless to say she deserves this so much for putting up with me for so long. We did not know when I was supposed to arrive and the tracking was very hard which sucked for us. We don't like in a great neighborhood and our mail man will just leave things sit. We both work m-f 6-4 so we are not around when our mail man is there so the shipping kind of sucked for us because we kept wondering when we were going to get it if at all. But, other than that she L.O.V.E.S. it!!!!
The ring is nice and good quality. Smaller than expected, but really cute.
My Fiancé and I decided to pick our rings together. Someone suggested overstock and we blown away by the selection of rings and their prices. Well, now we know why they are so cheap. First let me say that I'm not the kind of woman who needs a 1 karat rock, I don't feel the need to be flashy and show off my ring. & please don't get me wrong, the ring is very nice; but its not appropriate for an engagement ring. I was prepared for it to be small after reading the reviews, but this ring wasn't small it was minuscule. My Fiancé laughed when we opened it and sent it back immediately. I understand that you get what you pay for, but I wasn't prepared to see a child's ring when the title says diamond engagement-style Ring. We were both very disappointed. All the rings on here seem to be very disproportionate in size compared to what the image looks like on the screen. My suggestion, for all those interested in purchasing this ring as an engagement ring, read the reviews and take heed. Our wedding is exactly a month away, & we are now ring-less and will probably just go with wedding bands since our budget won't permit anything too elaborate; so my suggestion is that if you can't do it right (price wise) just go with a simple band to save your self time & shipping fees etc.
Recently bought for a promise ring for my girlfriend. It looks much better in person than it does on the computer screen. I would recommend for anyone.

Helping a Person During a Seizure
Skip to the navigationTopic Overview
If you see someone who is having a seizure, stay calm. Although seizures seem to last a long time, they usually do not last more than 60 to 90 seconds. Time the seizure, if you can. If the seizure lasts longer than 3 minutes or the person seizing is pregnant (no matter how long the seizure lasts), call 911 or other emergency services immediately.
A seizure can be terrifying to watch, especially if you've never seen one before. A seizure temporarily interferes with muscle control, movement, speech, vision, or awareness. It may cause a person's entire body to shake violently for a few seconds to a few minutes, and he or she may lose consciousness.
Seizures can be mild to severe, and they affect people differently. Even though you may feel helpless around someone having a seizure and find it difficult to watch, there are many things you can do to help.
How to help during a seizure
- Protect the person from injury.
- Keep him or her from falling if you can, or try to guide the person gently to the floor.
- Try to move furniture or other objects that might injure the person during the seizure.
- If the person is having a seizure and is on the ground when you arrive, try to position the person on his or her side so that fluid can leak out of the mouth. But be careful not to apply too much pressure to the body.
- Do not force anything, including your fingers, into the person's mouth. Putting something in the person's mouth may cause injuries to him or her, such as chipped teeth or a fractured jaw. You could also get bitten.
- Do not try to hold down or move the person. This can cause injury, such as a dislocated shoulder.
How to help after a seizure
- Check the person for injuries.
- If you could not turn the person onto his or her side during the seizure, do so when the seizure ends and the person is more relaxed.
- If the person is having trouble breathing, use your finger to gently clear his or her mouth of any vomit or saliva. If this does not work, call for emergency help.
- Loosen tight clothing around the person's neck and waist.
- Provide a safe area where the person can rest.
- Do not offer anything to eat or drink until the person is fully awake and alert.
- Stay with the person until he or she is awake and familiar with the surroundings. Most people will be sleepy or confused after a seizure.
Things to watch for during a seizure
You may be able to provide valuable feedback to the doctor treating the person having the seizure. Try to remember:
- How the person's body moved.
- How long the seizure lasted.
- How the person acted before the seizure.
- How the person acted immediately after the seizure.
- Whether the person suffered any injuries from the seizure.
When to seek emergency help
Seizures do not always require urgent care. But call 911 or other emergency services immediately if:
- The person having a seizure stops breathing for longer than 30 seconds. After calling 911 or other emergency services, begin rescue breathing.
- The seizure lasts longer than 3 minutes. (The person may have entered a life-threatening state of prolonged seizure called status epilepticus.)
- This is the person's first seizure or if you don't know if the person has epilepsy.
- The person seizing is pregnant (no matter how long the seizure lasts). This could be a sign of preeclampsia.
- More than one seizure occurs within 24 hours.
- The
person having a seizure does not respond normally within 1 hour after the
seizure or has any of the following symptoms:
- Reduced awareness and wakefulness or is not fully awake
- Confusion
- Nausea or vomiting
- Dizziness
- Inability to walk or stand
- Fever
- A seizure occurs after the person complains of a sudden, severe headache.
- A seizure occurs with signs of a stroke, such as trouble speaking or understanding speech, loss of vision, and inability to move part or all of one side of the body.
- A seizure follows a head injury.
- A person with diabetes has a seizure. Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) or very high blood sugar (hyperglycemia) can cause seizures in a person who has diabetes.
- A seizure occurs after eating poison or breathing fumes.
- The person complains of severe pain after waking up or develops a fever within 24 hours of the seizure.

previous: Organon aphorisms § 105 - 107 next: Organon aphorisms § 120 - 132
--- 108 Organon aphorism ---
[91] Not one single physician, as far as I know, during the previous two thousand five hundred years, thought of this so natural, so absolutely necessary and only genuine mode of testing medicines for their pure and peculiar effects in deranging the health of man, in order to learn what morbid state each medicine is capable of curing, except the great and immortal Albrecht von Haller. He alone, besides myself, saw the necessity of this {VIDE the Preface to the PHARMACOPOEIA HELVET., Basil, 1771, fob, p. 12) : Nempe primum in corpore SANO medela tentanda est, SINE PERE-GRINA ULLA MISCELA; odoreque et sapore ejus exploratis, exigua illius dosis ingerenda et ad omnes, qua? inde contingunt, affec-tiones, quis pulsus, qui calor, qua? respiratio, quaaiam excretiones, attendendum. Inde ad ductum phaenomenorum, in sano obvior-um, transeas ad experimenta in corpore aegroto," etc. But NO ONE, NOT A SINGLE PHYSICIAN, attended to or followed up this invaluable hint.
--- 109 Organon aphorism ---
[92] It is impossible that there can be another true, best method of curing dynamic diseases (I. E., all diseases not strictly surgi-cal) besides homeopathy, just as it is impossible to draw more than one straight line betwixt two given points. He who imagines that there are other modes of curing diseases besides it could not have appreciated homeopathy fundamentally nor practised it with sufficient care, nor could he ever have seen or read cases of properly performed homeopathic cures; nor, on the other hand, could he have discerned the baselessness of all allopathic modes of treating diseases and their bad or even dreadful effects, if, with such lax indifference, he places the only true healing art on an equality with those hurtful methods of treatment, or alleges the latter to be auxiliaries to homeopathy which it could not do without! My true, conscientious followers, the pure homeopathists, with their successful, almost never-failing treatment, might teach these persons better.
[93] The first fruits of these labors, as perfect as they could be at that time, I recorded in the FRAGMENTA DE VIRIBUS MEDICAMEN-TORUM POSITIINS, SIVE IN SANO CORPORE HUMANO OBSERVATIS, pts. i, ii, Lipsias, 8, 1805, ap. J. A. Barth; the more mature fruits in the REINE ARZNEIMITTELLEHRE, I Th., dritte Ausg.; II Th., dritte Ausg., 1833; III Th., zweite Ausg., 1825; IV Th., zw. Ausg., 1825; V Th., zw. Ausg., 1826; VI Th., zw. Ausg., 1827 [English translation, MATERIA MEDICO PURA, vols, i and ii]; and in the second, third, and fourth parts of DIE CHRONISCHEN KRANKHEITEN, 1828, 1830, Dresden bei Arnold [2nd edit., with a fifth part, Diisseldorf bei Schaub, 1835, 1839].
--- 110 Organon aphorism ---
[94] See what I have said on this subject in the "Examination of the Sources of the Ordinary Materia Medica," prefixed to the third part of my REINE ARZNEIMITTELLEHRC [translated in the MATERIA MEDICA PURA, vol. ii].

[95] Some few persons are apt to faint from the smell of roses and to fall into many other morbid, and sometimes dangerous states from partaking of mussels, crabs or the roe of the barbel, from touching the leaves of some kinds of sumach, etc.
[96] Thus the Princess Maria Porphyroghnita restored her brother, the Emperor Alexius, who suffered from faintings, by sprinkling him with rose water in the presence of his aunt Eu-doxia (HIST. BYS. ALEXIAS, lib. xv, p. 503, ed. Posser) ; and Horstius (OPER., iii, p. 59) saw great benefit from rose vinegar in cases of syncope.
--- 118 Organon aphorism ---
[97] This fact was also perceived by the estimable A. v. Haller, who says (Preface to his HIST, STIRP. KELV.) : "Latet immensa virium diversitas in iis ipsis plantis, quarum facies externas du-dum novimus, animas quasi et quodcunque cselestius habent, non-dum perspeximus."
--- 119 Organon aphorism ---
[98] Anyone who has a thorough knowledge of, and can appreciate the remarkable difference of, effects on the health of man of every single substance from those of every other, will readily perceive that among them there can be, in a medical point of view, no equivalent remedies whatever, no SURROGATES. Only those who do NOT know the pure, positive effects of the different medicines can be so foolish as to try to persuade us that one can serve in the stead of the other, and can in the same disease prove just as serviceable as the other. Thus do ignorant children confound the most essentially different things, because they scarcely know their external appearances, far less their real value, their true importance and their very dissimilar inherent properties.
[99] If this be pure truth, as it undoubtedly is, then no physician who would not be regarded as devoid of reason, and who would not act contrary to the dictates of his conscience, the sole arbiter of real worth, can employ in the treatment of diseases any medicinal substance but one with whose real significance he is thoroughly and perfectly conversant, I. E., whose positive action on the health of healthy individuals he has so accurately tested that he knows for certain that it is capable of producing a very similar morbid state, more similar than any other medicine with which he is perfectly acquainted, to that presented by the case of disease he intends to cure by means of it; for, as has been shown above, neither man, nor mighty Nature herself, can effect a perfect, rapid and permanent cure otherwise than with a homeopathic remedy. Henceforth no true physician can abstain from making such experiment, in order to obtain this most necessary and only knowledge of the medicines that are essential to cure, this knowledge which has hitherto been neglected by the physicians in all ages. In all former ages—posterity will scarcely believe it—physicians have hitherto contented themselves with blindly prescribing for diseases medicines whose value was unknown, and which had NEVER BEEN TESTED relative to their highly important, very various, pure dynamic action on the health of man; and, moreover, they mingled several of these unknown medicines that differed so vastly among each other in one formula, and left it to CHANCE to determine what effect should thereby be produced on the patient. This is just as if a madman should force his way into the workshop of an artisan, seize upon HAMDFULS OF VERY DIFFERENT TOOLS, WITH THE USES OF ALL OF WHICH HE IS QUITE UNACQUAINTED, in order, as he imagines, to work at the objects of art he sees around him. I need hardly remark that these would be destroyed, I may say utterly ruined, by his senseless operations.

I think John Nicks has his work cut out for him. Ashley has to go into Worlds like she is skating for the world championship. If she backs in hoping not to fall, there's trouble ahead.
I think John Nicks has his work cut out for him. Ashley has to go into Worlds like she is skating for the world championship. If she backs in hoping not to fall, there's trouble ahead.
I think she will be more aggressive at Worlds. She has nothing to defend so she will have less pressure than she did at Nationals. With Yuna, Mao, and Caroline all skating reasonably well lately Ashley knows she has attack her programs. My worry for Ashley is that she could find herself far back in the standings even with a clean SP. In addition to the top names beating her on PCS, anyone who does a 3/3 can also place ahead of Ashley in the SP as we saw at TEB and at Nationals where a clean Agnes would have beaten Ashley. So without a 3/3, Ashley could find herself behind the top 3 favorites, two Russians, Gracie, Kaetlyn, and Akiko with a clean program.
You are assuming all these would skate clean. I don't know about that, ice IS slippery.
Also, at Nationals, Wagner was battling salmonella from the previous week and still recovering from the hip pointer (training-wise, at least). Assuming she can avoid more rancid chicken ceasar salad, she SHOULD be in better fighting shape.
You are assuming Ashley would skate clean. I don't know about that, either. Remember, she's not a SP skater. She didn't do so well in the SP last year, right?
So, giving the same consideration, if all clean, she will be around 7 or 8.
If all make one mistake, she will be around 7 or 8.
If she's clean, and all make mistake, then she maybe stay in the top 3.
I basically agree except if all clean (without triple-triple) I see her more 5-7 than 7 or 8. One mistake I agree 7 or 8, maybe 9 depending how others do. Her only hope of podium here though is if others make mistakes. That said it seems likely Mao will, shich could open up a spot for Ashley or someone else strong enough to take it.
For SP only, here are some who will place higher than her if they are clean and she is clean.
Mao,yuna, Carolina, adelina, Liza, kiira, akiko, maybe even Gracie and the Canadian girl as well.
There are about 9 girls who can get ahead of her.
Maybe with enough push, her pcs will cancel out some of her tes deficit, that's why I think at best, she can hope for 7 or 8. At worst, could be out of top 10, even when she is clean.
I guess we are counting a bit differently. I think a clean Ashley beats a clean Liza and Akiko for sure. I wish it were not so about Akiko but the judges do not like her for some reason, and I don't think Liza will get PCS high enough to place over clean Ashley. I think a clean Ashley probably beats a clean Gracie and Osmond as well. I think a clean Ashley possibly beats a clean Kiira.
However, I take your point. I guess we'll see what happens
ETA: For this post I am also addressing SP only.

The big question Wagner will be facing is whether to go for the 3-3 and 2A/3T. I don't know how consistent or comfortable she is with those jumps, especially considering her recent setbacks. Like MM implied, I think she'll just have to take a deep breath and go for broke, holding nothing back. Only then will she have some sort of shot, assuming she doesn't screw up.
Gold will obviously go for it all - I will wait until after Four Continents for final thoughts on her.
If she goes for broke, it will take at least a few melt down for her to make the podium. She's second tier. Only way is to out TES the top girls. Problem is the top girls currently out TES her. And with PCS disadvantage, it is grim and dim prospect.
I know, RIGHT.
Next year's Olympics could be a shark tank.
You've got.
Yu-Na Kim, the reigning Olympic Champ who can put up unreal scores.
Mao Asada, the two time world and two time GPF champions who can do three triple axels in a single competition.
Carolina Kostner, the PCS Queen, who is at the peak of her career.
Kaytlyn Osmond, Canadian star, who is surprisingly good, and dominant.
Julia Lipinskaia, the Junior World Champion who put up a 187 spot (Junior World Record). One of the best spinners.
Elizaveta TUKTAMYSHEVA. Absolute beast. Can give you 7 triples every day.
Adelina SOTNIKOVA, THREE time Russian national champion whose personal best score is eighth in the world.
Kanako Murakami, 2010 Junior World Champion, and 2010-2011 GPF Bronze MEdalist. Has infinite potential.
Akiko Suzuki, a skater who found her mojo after 24. Absolutely on Fire.
Ashley Wagner, this girl is ferocious to compete with when she's on.
Gracie Gold. 3Lz-3T, 2A-3T, combinations make her a 130+ LP force to be reckoned with.
And the great thing is at least 6 of these skaters will be staying on for Pyongchang. It should be a wild ride.
I think this might be a worlds Ashley will want to forget, not as bad as czisny's last year, of course, but embarrassing. Going to worlds not winning the lp at her own nationals does not bode well. As one writer put it, Gracie stole her thunder. Psychologically, there is no way she is going to forget the falls she has had in her last two events, one resulting in a serious injury. I think she will skate conservatively and hold back, and as one poster indicated that could really be problematic. I think she should probably have gone to 4CC and in a less pressured competition than worlds hopefully had a good skate and completely regained her confidence. I expect Gracie will out rank her at worlds.
It seems like a lot of people are worried, and some have written out Wagner completely as a top contender. I would love nothing more than for her to do well and show everyone what's what, but then again, I want them all to do well. I'm not holding my breath, but I'll be very happy if Ashley does well. I just want everyone to be on their A-game, then I'll be happy no matter who medals.

At first this had my curiosity, now it has my attention.
Looks very promising, definitely seeing this
If there is any one modern director that is even close to the great Alfred Hitchcock it has to be Danny Boyle. No one modern director has mastered the craft of suspense better then Scotland's own Danny Boyle. His next film, Trance, looks to have more of that flavor we have come to expect.
The Plot: An art auctioneer (James McAvoy) who has become mixed up with a group of criminals partners with a hypnotherapist in order to recover a lost painting.
The film features James McAvoy, Vincent Cassel, and Rosario Dawson.
Trance will be released on in the UK on March 14th, 2013. Look for a release date in the US to soon follow.

I love the potentials and uses of hypnosis and trance in real life and this looks like it is doing a cool suspense thriller with the subject.
When a film professor in college told us that watching a movie is a form of group hypnosis it opened a whole new viewpoint for me. We are all constantly going in and out of trance throught the day. Whenever you get into a movie, or TV show, or book and living the life of the characters you are hypnotized. When you are looking all over the place for your car keys and finally see them in plain view on the kitchen table and never saw them the the first 10 times you looked there it is because you hypnotized yourself. "They can't be there. I never put them on that table."
