I love to do anything active or can just chill...
I love to do anything active or can just chill and watch sports or a good movie on television. I am very curious by nature, so I like to explore and go on adventures. A good day is when I learn something new or travel abroad. I am very adventurous and enjoy exploring new activities or facing my fears. I hope to meet someone who will show me things I have not done before and be open to experiencing things I do for fun. I am a unique individual, when you get to know me you will learn I am honest, spontaneous and I am not afraid to communicate what's on my mind at anytime. I don't mind going to a club sometimes but generally I am beyond those days mentally and enjoy stimulating activities. I am a hard worker even though I have the benefit of working from home at times which may appear as though I don't work but working from home is more challenging in many ways, one disadvantage is the lack of a social environment. I am looking for someone who's not afraid to push me to my limits and then pull me back with a warm hug at the last minute. Are you someone who can catch and hold my attention with a story or make me laugh until I cry? Someone loving and appreciative of the love/attention I bring to the table. I'm looking for someone who is not afraid of a relationship. It is better to be single than to be in the wrong relationship. If it's worth it, I'll work for it; if it's not, I won't. I have just moved to Tampa , is there anyone who wants to meet a great man?

I'm coming down to the Lodo area tomorrow on business and need some advice on which bike shop has the best selection of tires. In particular, I'd like to find a place that stocks the Rampage 2.35. I don't mind a bit of a drive.
I know it's short notice; any ideas? Thanks for any help.

It's that time of year when drivers cruise along highways and scenic back roads with the windows down, wind blowing through their hair, music blaring and their faithful four-legged canine riding with his/her head out of the window.
The image is almost as old as time, and this year it's an image travelers will be seeing less and less, thanks to increased enforcement under the national Click It or Ticket program.
Under New Jersey Statute 4:22-18, unrestrained pets in vehicles is an act of animal cruelty, and drivers who don't secure their pooch in a pet seat belt will be subject to fines, ranging from $250 to $1,000 and as much as six months in jail.
"That's for each offense," Col. Frank Rizzo, police superintendent for the New Jersey Society for the Prevention of Animal Cruelty, said Wednesday, according to The Bergen Record. "So, if you have more than one animal loose in your car, just do the math…"
"Some people tell us they like to let their pets hang their heads out the window to take in the fresh air," Rizzo said, "but dogs and cats become projectiles in a crash."
On its website, the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals offers tips for safe traveling with your pet, and the number one item on their list is making sure your "dog is securely fastened or confined during car trips."
A large dog in your lap or a small one bouncing around the accelerator pedal can be distracting and dangerous—and should you have an accident, your unrestrained dog might be thrown about the cab, according to the ASPCA tips.
The ASPCA advises dogs be fastened in the back seat of the vehicle. Dogs can be injured or even killed if you have an accident and an airbag deploys, if they are riding in the front seat.
A dog seat belt is "specially designed for the bodies of dogs, so they are a bit different from belts that people use," according to Canine Auto. It can be positioned in two different ways depending on how your dog prefers to sit.
The Click It or Ticket program is the most successful seat belt enforcement campaign ever, helping to increase the national seat belt usage rate, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Fo' with the Foes: Miami Heat
02/23/15 3:03 pm EST
This Monday afternoon edition of "Fo' with the Foes" – Philadunkia's advanced scouting series which with the help of an accomplished journalist from around the NBA beat or blog world, previews key upcoming 76ers games – features tonight's opponent, the Miami Heat who obviously will be without Chris Bosh tonight and have lost 5 of their last 7 games, yet still are still holding on to the 7th playoff spot in the East.
After the jump, I'll look a Fo' key items for tonight's game. Additionally, we'll get a little more insight into the Miami team the Sixers face tonight from our colleague Brandon Di Perno at hothothoops.com as Brandon will answer Fo' questions on the Heat from us here at Philadunkia.

ISPO: Shanghai trade show runs July 2 - 4.
SIA: Debuts new "Snow Source" email and blog.
Details on Industry Insight.
MCLEAN, Va. (Jan. 6, 2010) - The snow sports market reached $1 billion in sales August through November, 14% above last season, setting a new benchmark for early season sales.
Equipment sales are leading the charge with a 22% increase in dollars sold overall and 13% more units sold. Alpine equipment sales are up 23% season-to-date, and snowboard equipment sales are enjoying an excellent recovery with 20% more dollars sold through November compared to last season's disappointing numbers.
Apparel sales are strong in the early season increasing 9% in dollars sold despite a warmer than average October.
La Niña conditions really took hold in November bringing in more seasonal snow sports weather and sales. Accessories sales increased more than 16% led by very strong surges in goggles, wax, snowboard accessories and backcountry accessories.
Overall, the market is on track to set new benchmarks in dollars sold due to snowy weather brought by La Niña, increased consumer confidence in the snow sports demographic, and snow sports enthusiasts who are ready for new equipment and excellent snow conditions.
"We have increased sales across the board, but one trend is women are back in the market place. They are buying hard goods with a noticeable increase," said Bill Langlands, owner of Darkside Snowboards.
Early Season Trends
56,345 Alpine ski systems with waists 70-79mm were sold by November 30, a 43% increase in units sold
AT/Randonee equipment sales are up more than 70% overall led by boot sales that increased 122% to $3.4 million in sales
Reverse camber snowboard sales are up 60% in units and reverse camber ski sales are up 130% to more than 18,600 units sold season to-date
Snowboard sales are up 13% in units and 19% in dollars sold, a solid turnaround from last season's relatively dismal sales
Telemark equipment was the only equipment category in the red through November losing 12% in dollars and 18% in units sold
Snowboard apparel tops up 19% in dollars sold
Glove sales increased 26% in dollars and 24% in units sold
Goggles sales surged up 46% in units sold to 360,000 pairs
Carryover sales are down 14% overall in specialty
Regionally, heavy early snow, or perhaps, the promise of snow brought consumers out to buy in the Western region where sales were up 30% in dollars sold. The Northeast enjoyed increases of 5% in units sold and 10% in dollars sold after two seasons of decline. Unexpectedly, the South also enjoyed sales increases after last year's stellar sales. Growth in the Midwest region was steady with a 6% increase in units sold and 9% growth in dollars sold on very strong equipment sales. In fact, equipment sales in the Midwest were up 23% in dollars sold.
The market data presented in this report comes from the SIA RetailTRAK conducted by the Leisure Trends Group. The RetailTRAK data is gathered directly from the Point of Sale systems of about 1/3 of the snow sports retailers in the U.S. market. Each season, Leisure Trends gathers snow sports sales data from a representative panel of more than 1,200 snow sports retailers who provide sales data directly from their Point of Sale systems. The panel and the method for extrapolating the results out to the entire industry is based on a triennial census of snow sports retailers designed to accurately define the size and structure of the snow sports retail marketplace. SIA maintains these data for members down to the product level. For more information about SIA's RetailTRAK information please contact Kelly Davis, SIA's Director of Research at email@example.com.

One half of magic act Penn and Teller is suing a fellow entertainer for ripping of his trick Shadows, where he trims a flower's shadow.
Raymond Teller is suing another magician for ripping off one of his tricks.
A lawsuit has been filed in the US state of Nevada against Dutch entertainer Gerard Dogge, who Teller - best known as one half of magic act Penn and Teller - claims took the idea for his trick Shadows, which he copyrighted in 1983.
The proceedings concern a video uploaded on to the internet by Dogge, which shows him performing a work entitled 'The Rose and Her Shadow', posted with an advertisement offering to sell the magic trick for $3,050.
Teller instructed his lawyers to send a takedown notice and contacted the entertainer by phone to request he ceases his offer.
In addition he offered to give him money to do so, but Dogge refused and wanted additional money, which consequently led to the lawsuit.
The trick involves a flower in a vase being placed on a table between a spotlight and a screen so that it casts a shadow.
Teller then takes a knife to the shadow and proceeds to trim the silhouette and the flower.

I am stationed in Guam with the US Air Force and was wondering what type of shipping you would be able to use. We get the normal USPS at 96929 zipcode. Thanks and Happy New Year!
shipping is no problem,,,we use usps and actually find it cheaper and quicker to alot of places,,,
regarding your 17 SM set up,,,optimally for your bike size we'd go 3.50x17 front for the 120/70 tire and 4.25 x17 rear,,i've got a few SUN rims 2.75x17 in gold or variations thereof
you can run smaller rim widths and still get the SM feel,,just not the optimal racer set-up...perhaps go to a 100-110 front tire
regarding used hubs,,,folks ,,they are a high demand item,,,,because you are'nt the only ones with the idea of spare wheel sets
Folks remember,,,although we build some of the trickest/strongest state of the art stuff,,,i have always catered to folks with limited budget constraints,,,,just don't ask me to give ya the trick stuff for peanuts,,,,on my part i'll try to give the biggest bang for your dollar.....
happy new year!!!!

Product description
Twenty-four frames a second, 100 heartbeats a minute, a dozen emotional highs an hour - and shockwaves that last a lifetime: that's cinema. Films entertain us like nothing else can, but they also have the power to change our lives. A film can frighten or reassure us, make us laugh, make us sad or remorseful, make us want to change the world. This is not a reference book, nor an argument for a cannon. Time Out's 1000 Films to change your life is, instead, a celebration of the life-changing force of the movies, by 50 of the people best placed to explain it: people who are both inspired film-goers and inspirational film-makers; actors and actresses; critics and writers. This book proves how much the movies still matter. Contributors also include: Jonathan Demme, Holly Hunter, Terry Jones, Takeshi Kitano, Michael Mann , Ken Loach & Steven Soderbergh

It was a hard year. There were losses and wins. Time to get back some memories. It's a legacy, you may have waited many years, but now it is finally brought to you by CTDP for rFactor. Now you have the chance to sit in the classical 1994 cars and race with some heroes of their time. Prove to be one of them. 1994 when racing was not about aerodynamics or high technology. It was about the driver and his talent, his courage, his skill. Time for your place in F1 history.

Work on the CTDP F1 1994 mod is progressing quickly. Follow the latest news on our Development Blog.
The mod will feature all teams of 1994. All models are done, but get updates at the moment. Same for the textures, which are upscaled to higher resolutions to ensure better quality. Four cars are finished and await to be brought ingame. Once this is done, alot more screenshots will follow.
Como va el trabajo?
Nice model but there are mistakes:
1. It is a narrow wheelbase model (1.8m wide) cars in 1994 were 2.00m wide.
2. The color of the mirrors suggest it is a Brazil Gp or Aida GP FW16. But in Brazil the refuelling valve was on the other side and in Aida the car featured a double rear wing.
3. The camera is much too high.
4. The top of the headrest foam and airbox bottom is much too curved. The real foam and airbox bottom is flat at the top.
5. The antenna is too thin. The real car featured a rubber coated antenna, not a metal wire.
6. The anhedral lower part of the rear wing should have Rothmans logos not Renault logos.
7. The Rothmans logo on the engine cover appears too small.
8. The blue color of the cursive Rothmans logo's (in ellipses on engine cover and front wing) is a lighter shade than the blue featured elsewhere on the car. In reality they should be the same colour.
9. The bolts are too large.
10. I don't think this car ever featured gold coloured wheel nuts. I believe they were titanium/black.
11. The nose appears too fat.
well can you make a better model? even a more "correct" one? i am a moddeler and a fan of the older f1 cars and i think this is great
i just checked out that car and in the picture i saw was exactly the same as this model, the nose isnt fat it looks to me that is due to the angle of the camera, the only thing different in my picture is the camera an fuel cap have swapped sides, red bolts instead of yellow and the antenna is rubber coated (but honestly who cares? it looks awsome)

The four U.S. wireless carriers all have four different versions of what they consider 4G networking speeds and technology, and therefore widespread confusion exists about the nature of those networks. If a bill introduced by a California member of the U.S. House of Representatives gains traction, they'll be forced to prominently disclose the actual speeds, reliability statistics, and traffic-management strategies used on their 4G networks.
Anna Eshoo, a Democrat from Palo Alto, introduced the "Next Generation Wireless Disclosure Act" Wednesday, saying that "consumers deserve to know exactly what they're getting for their money when they sign-up for a 4G data plan" in a press release highlighting the bill. She proposed authorizing the Federal Communications Commission to develop reliability standards for wireless networks that would have to be displayed in carrier stores or on their Web sites when shopping for new phones or service and offer a guaranteed minimum speed that consumers can expect for their monthly fees.
Wireless networking speeds are notoriously variable. Weather, buildings, and different handsets can all cause consumers to experience a wide range of networking speeds from their carrier's towers. However, carriers have also taken advantage of this by marketing theoretical top speeds when selling wireless services, not disclosing that those speeds can usually only be obtained in laboratory conditions while standing on one foot and reciting the Pledge of Allegiance backwards.
In addition, you find carriers like AT&T selling "4G" phones to its customers without mentioning that serious network upgrades are required to attain those speeds, meaning that it may be months depending on your location before your phone can reach the advertised speeds. Since the International Telecommunications Union doesn't appear willing to enforce minimum requirements for "4G" speeds, the result is a mess.
Now, whether or not legislation will actually alleviate the problems or contribute to even more confusion is worthy of discussion. The technology involved in making the Internet travel through the air is extremely complicated and made even more arcane by the industry's love of acronyms. Still, it's not hard to argue with the concept that consumers should be able to compare data speeds and reliability across carriers with a common metric, as opposed to trying to figure out if Verizon's LTE average download speeds are comparable to Sprint's Wimax speeds, both of which are advertised as 4G.
Most carriers disclose this information on their Web sites, but it can be tough to find, and given that so many phones are sold at retail, clearer standards could help consumers make a decision in a store while under pressure from a sales representative. Eshoo's bill was, of course, greeted with disdain from the wireless industry: "We are concerned that the bill proposes to add a new layer of regulation to a new and exciting set of services, while ignoring the fact that wireless is an inherently complex and dynamic environment in which network speeds can vary depending on a wide variety of factors," Jot Carpenter of the CTIA said in a statement posted on the wireless industry trade association's Web site.

Rated 4 out of 5Â by iluvlucy28 Cute Top Cute top for the Summer!! 6.2.2014
Rated 4 out of 5Â by lanalu cute super cute top, quite roomy but it still looks cute. I wear it the other wayround, like depicted on the model-picture as it looks way better this way. 6.28.2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by p1gp3n cute and not too cropped i got this in the indigo and the color is as the studio shots. it basically fits true to size with some room, but it isn't too bulky. i'm able to wear it pretty low off my shoulders. it's also not super cropped which i like. the only thing is that with movement, the top rides back up the shoulders so i tend to pull it back down a lot, but i think that's the same for most off-shoulder tops. cute print with lace details and looks good with denim shorts. an especially good deal with the sale-on-sale in-store. 5.26.2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by CeeCee COUNTRY CUTE! I ordered the Melon color in my regular Size Small. I sometimes can wear an X-Small but I wanted the top a little longer. This top is sexy in a sweet and pretty way. I wore this with my F.P. overalls and Wow, what a great combination! This is another unique Free People top that shouldn't be passed up :) 4.25.2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by NikiNix adorable! Love this top! 5'4 120 34 B and bought an XS in melon. Quality is A+ and the color is very pretty and feminine. Runs a bit short and does "bubble" a bit but it works great with high waisted pants/shorts. This will definitely be a spring/summer time staple!! 4.4.2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Lowen sweet as apple pie I just picked up this blouse in the melon. True to what the other reviewer mentioned, this top is a bit more vivid in person. I am 5'3", 36C, lean 140lbs, hourglass figure and I purchased a small, but an XS probably would have worked as well. It's a bubble top, so depending on how you wear it, the sides might be a bit poofy (but not necessarily unflattering). I like how this top looks on me with high waisted jeans so the smocking on the bottom of the blouse can hit my natural waist. Styled like that it shows off all of my good curves! I don't think the top is as flattering on me when it's pulled down (like how it is on the model). All of that being said, I think it looks completely sweet, feminine, flattering and as American as the 4th of July! :) Perfect for picnics, bbqs, pie contests and more, I just love it to pieces. I'm not usually a fan of pink, but it's a lovely shade and I was surprised that I very much prefer it over the other colors I tried. 3.29.2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by BETSEY crop top this top is very cute great for a picnic or a hot summer night the color is more vivid in person a little darker a little pinker very cutefits tts the lace makes it 3.26.2014

Optima Beverage Tub 498 555
This was a great purchase This beverage tub is wonderful. It was everything I hoped it would be. It keeps the ice cold for many hours and hold plenty of beverages. Very well made and a very nice quality. September 3, 2014
Beverage beautiful... This tub is beautifully finished, a perfect size and just what I expected according to the brochure description. It is a fine quality product which will be proudly used and enjoyed for many years. I can thoroughly recommend it. September 3, 2014
Beverage Tub Beautiful...better than any other tub I have seen in the outlet stores. Well made. Worth the monies. September 3, 2014
Perfect Gift We purchased the beverage tub with matching table as a housewarming gift for dear friends. They absolutely loved it. The quality and packaging was superior and it was easy to assemble. September 2, 2014
Wonderful Gift We purchased this tub along with the bucket and ice shovel to gift very good friends of ours who moved out of state. We timed the purchase and it's delivery to coincide with our first visit to them . . . which worked perfectly thanks to Frontgate's always reliable service. Our friends were absolutely thrilled with our gift for its great good looks and utility! Gifting people who are active seniors and, frankly speaking, have everything they need and/or want is really quite a challenge. However, this gift trio was really appreciated by BOTH husband and wife . . . which further delighted us. btw: We chose the smaller of the two tubs for greater ease to carry/move. It was a good decision and the tub is still plenty generous in size. September 1, 2014
just what I've been looking for! This so much nicer than having the ice chest on the porch that I have been using during an especially large party every September when the weather can be questionable. Just to be able to have this nice looking tub inside and not be worrying about "sweating" on my counters is a great relief. And everyone who sees it wants to borrow it for their next event. August 14, 2014
Beautiful! Beautiful! I use them for ice tubs as well as beverage tubs, they look very elegant and I have not had a problem with them sweating on the tablecloth. They are on rubber feet that hold them just high enough. August 14, 2014
Optima Stand Nice substantial stand, very complementary to the two tone Optima Beverage Tub we had acquired prior. July 28, 2014
Best purchase ever Beautiful and great quality. Wonderful for events. July 24, 2014
My 4th party tub This is the 4th one I have bought in addition to the larger one that I own. I love mine so much, mostly because it doesn't sweat. I am now giving these for shower gifts. July 23, 2014
Love it- very versatile. The Optima Beverage Tub is fabulous. Very sturdy, easy to assemble. It is so pretty that you could easily use it as an end table. I just used mine to display party favors! July 18, 2014
Classy Beverage tub! This tub is really nice and elegant, bigger than expected, it fits a lot of beer and a couple of champagne bottles at the same time. Great buy, all of my friends have complimented me on this! July 16, 2014
Classy beverage container This works perfectly for wine or beer outside on deck or by pool:). Very happy with purchase! July 5, 2014
Great! i bought this for a party i had a few weeks ago and it was great!!! June 25, 2014
Great quality. After researching current products on market, we decided on Optima Beverage Tub. It looked great and works well for indoor and outdoor gatherings. We are pleased with it. June 10, 2014
Very Nice!!! This ice scoop is wonderful! It's beautifully crafted, has a nice weight to it, and it looks elegant. What else can I say! May 28, 2014
Party perfect! I waited to order this beverage tub until the free shipping promotion was offered and it was definitely worth the wait! I love it! It Looks good and there is no condensation on the outside of it! I may even order another one! May 27, 2014
Best Wedding Gift This is what I give for EVERY wedding present. A young couple told me last week it was the BEST gift they have received so far. Other couples still tell me--years later--that they really have enjoyed their beverage tub. Because it's insulated, it can be used on tables without sweating or leaking and it's large enough to hold a variety of beverages. Each of our three adult children have one from us, and they use them for every birthday, barbeque, etc. Practical and attractive, this tub is an AWESOME product. May 26, 2014
Perfect for parties! I love my Optima small beverage tub. The large was just too big for my bar area. The tub NEVER sweats or drips water and will hold plenty of cold drinks or bottles of wine! May 14, 2014
Perfect! In our Executive Office I needed something to serve soft drinks from for larger meetings. The Optima tub and stand are perfect! Very classy, yet not ostentatious. Thank you! May 6, 2014
A++++++++++++++++++ beverage tub I bought the collins tub as a wedding gift. It is beautiful. I am very happy and proud to give this as a gift. April 23, 2014
beverage tub I have not tried this yet (two weeks to go) but it looks lovely and the stand is beautiful. I can give you more comments after May 3rd April 21, 2014
very pleased with service and everything about Fro I recently had the stand break. I contacted Frontgate. it was the easiest return and replacement i have ever done. Staff was fantastic. April 13, 2014
Most wonderful tub I have ever owned I have two of these plus the smaller one. You can put it directly on your table and the outside stays dry! No damage to your table! I now give them as wedding gifts. They hold so many beverages and/or wine bottles. It is elegant for any party but can be used casually too. March 28, 2014
Very satisfied We were very pleased with the quality and design of the tub. It keeps our beverages cooled for several hours and did not sweat. It is well worth the money. March 28, 2014
My go to wedding gift!! I purchased the beverage tub for myself and one for my daughter. It is our most requested item for parties. I now purchase for wedding gifts and brides LOVE receiving them. March 17, 2014
Great purchase! I bought this to have on hand for parties and I love it. I purchased the 17" and it is plenty big! I don't think I could fit the larger one on our counter without it being overpowering. Does not sweat and keeps extremely cold. We still had ice left in it the next morning. I am very happy and would recommend to friends and family! February 25, 2014
Sliver Ice Bucket Thank you, we had ordered a large one to start and it was too large. Returned that item for a smaller one. Everything went very smoothly and we are very happen with the smaller ice bucket, it holds alot. Thank you, Linda Lee Foster Paul February 11, 2014
Good Quality Item was larger that I expected. Very well constructed, nice looking, and does not sweat! January 29, 2014
excellent choice This tub is excellent in design and quality. Pay attention though to whether the 17" or 21" is most appropriate for your intended use. I bought the 17" tub and it is a perfect size for countertops and tables. The 21" version must be quite large and heavy when filled with ice and drinks. January 25, 2014

Listen To The Audio Lecture for Aphorism 28 to 29
In our last lecture we studied Nature's Law of Cure, which states:
A weaker dynamic affection is permanently extinguished in the living organism by a stronger one, if the latter (whilst differing in kind) is very similar to the former in its manifestations.
After explaining Nature's Law of Cure in aphorism 26 and stating that homeopathy medicines also cure because they work according to nature's law, it was time to explain how and why homeopathic remedies cure diseases. This Dr. Hahnemann does in the next two aphorisms.
Hahnemann had always believed that it is better to focus on practical aspects of sickness with the help of the changes one can perceive through his senses and that empty theoretical speculation should be avoided. In the introduction to the Organon of Medicine, he states:
The partisans of the old school of medicine flattered themselves that they could justly claim for it alone the title of rational medicine, because they alone sought for and strove to remove the cause of disease, and followed the method employed by nature in diseases.
Tolle causam! They cried incessantly. But they went no further than this empty exclamation. They only fancied that they could discover the cause of disease; they did not discover it, however, as it is not perceptible and not discoverable. For as far the greatest number of diseases are of dynamic origin and dynamic nature, their cause is therefore not perceptible to the senses; so they exerted themselves to imagine one, and from a survey of the parts of the normal, inanimate human body (anatomy), compared with the visible changes of the same internal parts in persons who had died of diseases (pathological anatomy), as also from what they could deduce from a comparison of the phenomena and functions in healthy life (physiology) with their endless alterations in the innumerable morbid states (pathology, semeiotics), to draw conclusions relative to the invisible process whereby the changes which take place in the inward being of man in diseases are affected – a dim picture of the imagination, which theoretical medicine regarded as its prima causa morbi;*
So you can see Hahnemann was clearly against putting up theoretical constructs to explain how medicines work. He was more concerned about the practical application of the remedies to cure the sick. Yet, there were people who wanted to know how homeopathic remedies worked. And there still are lots of such people, who cannot believe their own senses till somebody comes up with a scientific explanation of what they perceive. So Hahnemann did give an explanation in aphorism 29. But before that he placed a warning in aphorism 28 for the kind of people mentioned above. Let's see what he said:
§ 28
As this natural law of cure manifests itself in every pure experiment and every true observation in the world, the fact is consequently established; it matters little what may be scientific explanation of how it takes place; and I do not attach much importance to the attempts made to explain it. But the following view seems to commend itself as the most probable one, as it is founded on premises derived from experience.
So he says that when the truth is so clearly visible to our senses, he does not attach much importance to how the internal dynamics of the body and the remedy are working and interacting. Hahnemann knew that creating empty speculations here would have opened up a Pandora's box – everybody would have come up with his own hypothesis. Hahnemann wanted everyone to focus on the clinical application of the remedies.
But times have changed now. It has been nearly 200 years since Hahnemann wrote those lines and today Homeopathy not only enjoys a wide and growing user base, but its clinical efficacy is also fairly well documented. The 'rational medicine' (allopathy) of Hahnemann's time has also become much more sophisticated in this time, with a much better understanding of the 'material' tolle causam. I personally feel that if Homeopathy has to take the next big leap, we will need to answer two fundamental questions:
1. How is information stored and transmitted in homeopathic remedies?
2. How do the remedies interact with biological systems?
Until we do this, homeopathy will continue to remain on the fringes of medical science. The good thing is that now lot of people are making great efforts to find out the answers to these questions. Leading physicists and scientists like Prof. Rustom Roy, Prof. Iris Bell, Dr. Alex Hankey, Dr. Lionel Milgrom, Dr. Martin Chaplin and many others have created an increasing knowledge base to find out the underlying cause and effect of the homeopathic remedies. Also, there is an ever-increasing group of people focusing on the clinical research. Next month, that is November 2009, we are going to publish a special issue of Homeopathy 4 Everyone that will focus on all these scientific developments.
Having said that, I must reiterate that Hahnemann was very wise in putting up this warning. He knew where his priorities lay and what was in the best interest of this new system of medicine. So after giving this warning, Hahnemann did give an explanation to answer the people, who always wanted to know how homeopathic remedies worked. Let us read aphorism 29 and find out what Hahnemann said:

Wow just... wow. In a move that baffled everyone, Nintendo laid out a ton of games that are coming throughout the rest of the year and beyond. One of the mentioned, but elusive titles, was none other than The Legend of Zelda Wii U. We don't know when we'll hear more information about it, what possible new villain could appear, or heck, even what the darn thing looks like, yet a few sentences will spark innumerable discussions until we hear and see more of the game.
"Complete dungeons in a certain order" and "play by yourself" are two things Eiji Aonuma and the Zelda team are going to be changing this time around. These features have been staples in nearly every Zelda title to date. Following this is a third comment by Aonuma saying they're "returning to basics". Whether that's referencing a non-linear dungeon order or something else remains to be seen. There are many possible ways this could pan out so let's take a look at some theoretical options.
There was a point in time where games were simple... complicatedly simple! When you would turn on a game and you would just start. Rarely was there any back story or explanations on what you had to do or even how to do it. If you wanted those you had to use your imagination, test out every button, or heck, actually read the manual (the one time they're useful). Aonuma's quote of "returning back to basics" hints at a lot of things, but one idea it implies is how you're introduced to the game.
Over the years as Zelda games have evolved past the two-button setup, more actions have been required to learn for each game, resulting in longer and longer tutorials. Fans have been upset because they must trudge through an extensive tutorial segment when they're already able to pick up the controls almost instantly. In an interview with Stephen Totilo at last year's E3, Miyamoto expressed his wish to go back to the earlier days where you would be able to jump right into the action...
"So one of the things we're talking about internally is how can we get people to that point of fun more quickly,"
"It used to be that actions [in older games] were very simple and you could do them very quickly and easily."
"I think back and actually was discussing Super Mario World with Tezuka-san ...and these text messages would pop up and they would have a little bit of tutorial information in them."
"... that type of tutorial sort of became rather commonplace and now we're starting to have these games where it is taking longer and longer to sort of get to that core fun. So that's precisely what we've been having discussions about."
That was in response to Stephen bringing up the issue of Skyward Sword and other modern games taking longer to get to the fun section. It looks like the next Zelda game could very well reduce the tutorial segment significantly and become more like the first games, which would coincide with what Aonuma said. But perhaps it's not just the amount of actions that extends the tutorial, but the story as well. A Link to the Past kicks you into action a mere two minutes after starting the game. It's not just because they didn't bother with a tutorial segment, but that the story starts the action immediately, with Zelda captured and you looking for both her and your uncle. Perhaps the same approach could be taken with the new game.
The game starts with the opening cinematic of how the world came to be (or something along those lines). The camera zooms out, it was your friend /roommate telling you that story as both of you sit at a table in a tavern. Then he/she gets excited from telling the story and challenges you to a sword fight, letting you practice the controls. Next, alarms and bells are going off and it's Princess Zelda, calling for the help of citizens to take part in the Hyrulean war because they're starting to lose (against whom I don't know). Maybe you do lose and your city is taken over and it progresses from there on or you win the battle but your town is heavily damaged.
Or if that's too much of a grand opening, instead of being drafted for war, Zelda is captured and whoever returns her gets a large sum of money. Maybe Link and his pal haven't been able to make their rent at the inn and with this they could pay it off and then some, so they make haste and start exploring dungeons to get closer and closer to Zelda. On the way he could even realize that he's doing it more for Zelda than the reward. The funny thing about this second story arc is that I just realized it's practically the same as Space Balls. Regardless those are just two ways where you could jump into action rather quickly.
The sense of exploration comes from being free to do as you please. You could inspect everything you see or jump straight into the dungeons, however when it comes to the dungeons you have very little choice in the order to tackle them in. That is one of the main ideas the Zelda team is trying to change, allowing you to explore any dungeon you want at any time. While Skyward Sword did try to change up the dungeon-field-dungeon aspect, it still wasn't enough. Although letting you choose which order you encounter each dungeon brings up its own set of problems with the story and items, but I think I have a solution.
The issue that arises with items is that when there's a planned path, you're guaranteed to have the item from dungeon #1 that has to be used to finish dungeon #2,3,4, etc. but choosing your own order conflicts with that, at least when it's designed the old way. One way to solve this (that I thought was going to be implemented in Skyward Sword) is to have some items outside of dungeons. You might get to a certain point in a dungeon and realize you can't go any further so you have to explore different caves or dungeons to find it. There could be dungeons with no item and a boss, or a dungeon with an item but no boss. This is something Aonuma tried out with Skyward Sword but not to the extent I'm talking about. There could even be other caves or dungeons with just treasure at the end, albeit better treasure than what Twilight Princess offered you. The only problem with this is I'm not too sure if it would create a spark of adventure and exploration for the player, or merely just annoy them if they have to keep looking around.
As for the issues with the story, when you have a specific path you already know where the player is going, so you can craft your story as you like. However when the player can move in any order it can't work the same. One way I can see the story working is if you beat X amount of dungeons, cutscene "A" will play. There's also another option where after you defeat a specific dungeon, a specific cutscene will play (which could be mixed with the former and latter story structures). A third option could be that you only can access 3 different dungeons at a time and after you beat those, an important cutscene can play and then unlock several more dungeons. However that doesn't seem all that different to what Skyward Sword did. These may not be the best ways to create a story, but they're the only ideas I can come up with when you're free to access any dungeon you want.
About 8 years ago in the year 2004 a game known as The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures released for the Gamecube. It's touted feature was that you could have three of your friends join you on an adventure... providing they all had link cables... and GBAs... and were all available at the same time... Needless to say the game did not sell very well, probably because of all the extra equipment you would need to truly experience it (it would've worked better as a DS title with the download play feature). However because so many Wii U users have wii remotes, it's far less of a hassle to play with this sort of setup, where there's at least one person with their own screen. Miyamoto also reiterated just a few months ago an idea like Four Swords Adventures could still work...
"Now that a lot of network technologies are evolving, games like [Zelda] Four Swords actually have great potential to evolve even further from now. Internally, we had continued debate as to the reason why Four Swords could not expand to the audience the way we really hoped it might have."
"One of the dominant opinions as to the reasons why it didn't sell was 'Maybe people did not think that they could fully enjoy playing alone, they'd think that they'd need four players together to make the most of it.' But I thought 'No no, we should not think in that fashion at all. If we can really tell that the game itself is fun enough, but that there are obstacles to playing with other players, [then] we need to find out what [that obstacle] was really, and get rid of the kind of nuisances and disturbances."
The reason I'm mentioning all of this is because the other idea they want to challenge in the next Zelda game is single player. Seeing as Miyamoto thinks a game like Four Swords is still a viable idea, (with online connectivity) it's possible we could see this incorporated in the next game. However the question remains, in what form? Would it be 2 or 4 player co-op? Would it only work locally or online as well? If you don't go online and there's no one playing beside you, are you forced to play with an AI partner? I'm sure there could be some cool co-op ideas implemented.
Maybe there's different characters with different abilities rather than just four Links, but the Zelda series has known to be a strictly single-player experience and changing the campaign to a multiplayer-focused venture could be risky. Personally I want to go on an adventure on my own. Fighting a couple of bosses with friends might be fun but with an adventure game I'd rather do it all myself than be forced to play with someone else, especially if one of us knows what to do but can't communicate well with the other. Then again who really knows, it could be the greatest thing yet. We'll just have to wait and see how it turns out.
Knowledge. In order to gain it you must seek it, and what better way to start a quest for knowledge than being dumped in the middle of nowhere with no idea of what to do? Remember when I said "returning to basics" implies multiple things? Well the other idea I was alluding to was how clueless you were in the original Zelda game. Back then after you popped in the cartridge and pressed "start" that was it, you're playing the game. Time to figure it out for yourself or you just wasted your money. But seriously, the idea of having to figure things out for yourself rather than being told everything every step of the way is another thing fans have wanted that belonged to the Zelda games of old.
You could go to the local tavern in the town and overhear people talking about a monster or a location or an item or a dungeon that gives you some hints without being blatantly obvious by saying, "THERE'S THE DUNGEON WITH THE NEXT EVIL MONSTER YOU MUST KILL, IT'S IN _____ TOWN MARKED ON YOUR MAP, OH HECK I'LL JUST TAKE YOU THERE MYSELF." Of course I'm exaggerating but the sense of discovery is what makes exploring fun. If you knew everything there would be no point to an adventure game. Hopefully this is the other part they're going to address when they "return to basics".
Warrior, brute strength, Mage, magic spells, Fairy... stealth gameplay? Ever since the first Zelda game was made, Miyamoto wanted to make the third one (A Link to the Past) feature a party system. It would include "the protagonist, who's a mix between an elf and a fighter, a magic user, and a girl... who looked a little like a fairy and whose role consisted of reconnaissance." He also mentioned that "the fairy that appeared in Adventure of Link was actually a party member designed for Zelda 3." So he was planning on it, and it's quite an interesting idea, but it was never implemented. However, seeing as we're likely to have some sort of multiplayer/co-op feature in the new game, it's possible that this could return. I'm sure they would want more than just a 3D version of Four Swords for their Wii U Zelda game and this is what could make multiplayer actually fun.
Think about it, you have Link with his arsenal of items and a sword, Zelda (or a Zora, Goron, etc.) dealing magic attacks against enemies and manipulating objects for puzzles, and a third character that can unlock areas by sneaking past enemies and is good at hand-to-hand combat, probably using a knife (mage being good at long distance, burning, freezing electrocuting, etc.). This idea reminds me of Trine in a way, switching between different classes to complete tasks for specific characters. This sounds like the coolest new feature to be introduced to a Zelda game. As long as you could switch between these characters when playing by yourself though, I don't want to be forced to have another person play with you, either locally or online. Although I think they learned their lesson back with Four Swords Adventures, and honestly they're not going to change the game so drastically that you can't complete it by yourself because that would make no sense.
Given the small amount of information we have on the new game, and based off of past inspirations and interests, I think these are possible ideas we could see come to life. It'll be interesting to see what exactly it turns out to be and if it's even close to what people are speculating. But with all of this in mind, where does this leave Zelda 3DS? It was a Wii U only video, but could the introduction of multiplayer lead to a single Zelda game for 3DS and Wii U that connect like Four Swords? After all, Nintendo did announce recently how they want to connect 3DS and Wii U more closely. They're even opening a new building specifically for employees that worked on the hardware for both systems. Connecting the two wouldn't even be the first time this would be implemented as Monster Hunter and Smash Bros will be doing so. It's not unlikely to happen, but how likely is it to happen? Something to think about.

Lose 7-4 in 12 innings
CLEVELAND – The Red Sox came to Cleveland hoping to extend their seven-game winning streak and maybe even climb above .500.
The Indians made their task impossible.
In the wee hours this morning, the Red Sox lost a tough-to-swallow 7-4 game in the 12th inning, when Asdrubal Cabrera hit a three-run home run off Edward Mujica.
The Red Sox had rallied for two runs in the seventh to forge the tie, with the bullpen holding the fort until Cabrera got to Mujica.
