Overall, I quite liked the smell of Breath of God once it was on. It is somewhat masculine and so I was a bit worried about that, but as I wore it the more feminine, floral scents came out.
I bought the solid version and I like the applicator. The only problem I've had are that if you push it out too far, you have to push it back in from the top which can be a bit messy.
The solid version is also a blue colour, so if you put on too much it's pretty obvious on your skin. This isn't so much a problem on your wrists but it is if you accidentally turn your neck blue.

I'm new to the Lush perfume world but I'm so happy I bought this one and gave it a fair chance. I had always smelled the samples in the store but all the other aromas in the store made it very difficult to appreciate what their perfumes had to offer. I tried this one first by applying it during one of my visits to the store. I didn't fall in love until after I left the mall and was in my car! This scent is very unique, unisex and daring! Reminds me of a rainy Tibetan temple with lingering clean crisp incense smoke. It's not for everybody, either you love it or hate it. It's more modern and inspirational to me than it is pretty or sexy. Would be ideal for the Fall in my opinion. This perfume opened me up to many other unique Lush perfumes (except for the brand new funky bottled ones, I just can't seem to get into those no matter how hard I try). It's my favorite from Lush. Sample worthy if you're still unsure!

I'll start off by saying that I am a fragrance newb. I can see why another reviewer thought this smelled like the inside of a CVS - when I first smelled it, it smelled that way to me too, and I suddenly regretted purchasing this (I got the solid form). But I kept it on and after a little while, it started smelling a little better, more like my favorite Lush body wash, Tramp (I really want a solid perfume of that). Overall I do like the way this smells, but it is definitely rather odd, especially as a women's fragrance. To me it smells aquatic, clean, androgynous, and intriguing, which are all qualities that I admire and that I aspire to. It's not for everyone, but if you're looking for something different, check it out.

..there's something nutty about this one....like some kind of strange sacral hazelnut,and like many reviewers I fell in love with it after a first whiff...
like I said many times before, I really don't seem to like gettin on a ''woohoo-I'm-soo-cool-and-use-Lush-like -Madonna'' bandwagon, simply because of the aggressive marketing leaning towards persuasion of ''how good and versatile Lush products are''..(NOT!)..and being bougt and used by many respectable stars makes it even a little repulsive for me...why the heck should I care what Madonna or Kardashians wear?....so I tend to avoid Lush and given the very high prices, I think justified so.
but luckily for me, a friend brought this to my attention by bringing a small,ugly,black bottle with 30 g(?like, haven't they heard about liquid measures for f.sake??) product...and as soon as I frowned at the mentioned brand, I took a shot and was left speechless...
this is very,very niche-sque sort of fragrance, very deep,soft and unbeleavably wearable!
starting off with a pungent smell of burnt wood,bonfire,fur,and very prominent cedarwood, you would've thought something icky this way''ll come, but nope, this goes in whole another path...black pepper listed as a componend gives a fantastic sweetenes to a scent, and ylang-ylang makes it zingy,almost bready, but with no flower accord familliar to my nose...
it is quite strong and violent, but after just 15 minutes it settles into a wonderful melange,making an aromatic-woody scent (not oriental imho) very well money-worthy...and that's ALOT of money!!!it seems to me a better choice to buy a big botlle than just a 10 ml. decant because it is just tooo darn expensive!!!
but all in all it goes amazingly good with my skin's PH and makes me think of twisted CdG creations such as Tar or maybe even some leathery scents like Cuir Ottoman(without the light and beautiful iris part)..
worthy of your attention if you like totaly different kind of slightly woody/animalic nutty scents....try before you buy!!!
lasting life- aproximately 5 hrs...just about enough!
don't get me started with the development phases because it is the wildest rollercoaster you'll ever experience!!!
10/10! (even though it's Lush!)

HG within its type. I've tested it alongside Lust and Ginger at a Lust store and had to come back to get a full bottle. It's a solemn, spiritual, rich, very complex fragrance. I agree with the references to oriental temples and holy ceremonies. I also agree that it changes drastically according to skin, weather condition etc. On my friend, for example, it smells like disinfectant. Breath of God is something I put on when I feel chic, introspective and serene. It's not a sexy, flirtatious fragrance. Having said that, this 'not so obvious' character might be just what it takes for you to get noticed.

I tried the solid version of this in store, the end note somehow reminds me of lust. I like the scent of lust and this is lust with some minty hint and without the sweetness of lust. Probably because of the jasmine that could be found in both. Its a very special kind of scent which varies depending on each individual. But all in all, I like how it smell on me.

i got this based on a review from a woman saying this fragrance brought her to tears, because it was so lovely. i was pretty disappointed with my sample, it smells incredibly masculine, and doesn't seem like anything very special. it does smell exotic, but i could never wear this, and i don't think i'd like to smell it on anyone else either.

I have the solid from a Boxing Day sale (it was 50% off). Breath Of God is not an awful scent however to me it smells just like the medicinal scent of a fabric band-aid (plaster) & Dettol (antiseptic) cream. It may be a good background scent to layer with a very sweet fragrance but I won't be repurchasing again even @ half price.

Two Whitman alumnae team up to manage one of the nation's largest bridge construction projects.
What can two friends who majored in English and politics do with a Whitman education?
Move a bridge, and then build a new bridge.
Multnomah County Commissioner Deborah Kafoury '89 and her policy advisor Liz Smith-Currie '89 have teamed up to oversee the $307 millon Sellwood Bridge Project, which replaces the 87-year-old Willamette River crossing with a new, seismically-sound structure.
Liz Smith-Currie '89, left, and Deborah Kafoury '89
"It will be a bridge for the future," Smith-Currie said.
"The old Sellwood Bridge was built at the dawn of automobile traffic. The new one will be ready for street cars [light rail system] and have more capacity for other modes of transportation like bicycles and pedestrians."
Before breaking ground on construction of the new bridge, the old one had to be moved and strengthened so that it could serve as a temporary crossing over the Willamette River, which divides Portland, Ore., between east and west.
Repositioning a bridge is a complicated engineering project. It involves cutting the bridge off its foundation and then sliding it over to its new foundation. In this case, 1,100-foot-long steel deck trusses were slid over on rails using hydraulic jacks. And both Kafoury and Smith-Curie were on the bridge when it was moved.
"It was one of the coolest things I've ever done," Smith-Currie said, describing what was one of the largest bridge moves in the U.S.
"A guy was there with a joystick, and he would push it forward and it would move very slowly for 10 to 15 seconds. It felt like a 5.0 earthquake. There were these little rumblings and then a burst of energy."
When the "Big One" strikes
A potential earthquake is the main reason the Sellwood Bridge was replaced. The bridge rated a paltry two out of 100 on a federal bridge sufficiency scale. And if the "big one" that seismologists predict could hit Portland actually hit, the old Sellwood Bridge would have crumbled.
"Some drivers would literally roll down their windows when crossing the old bridge just in case it collapsed. Then they could escape out of the car," Smith-Currie said.
Sellwood Bridge being moved to its temporary alignment.
Now that the Sellwood Bridge has been shifted 60 feet to the north and refortified, Kafoury is busy overseeing construction of the new bridge, a project far from what the Multnomah Country Commissioner normally focuses on: human services.
"There was a steep learning curve, but I'm not building the bridge myself. I appreciate the civil engineers," Kafoury joked.
"I like that this project is tangible. You can visually see the project progress, and at end of it you have a concrete and steel structure."
Kafoury started her political career in 1998 when she was elected to the Oregon State Legislature, where she served in the House for five years. Kafoury said that when she first ran for office, the first fundraising letter she sent went to all her Whitman classmates and fellow alumni, who rallied to her cause and chipped in.
"Liz helped me with the fundraising. I was impressed by the turnout. We got an amazing response."
Kafoury also credits Whitman for helping her develop the communication skills required for her job, where she must converse with engineers and construction crews while also working toward her goal of ending poverty. Managing disparate interests might seem strange for a public servant who majored in English.
"Everyone asks, 'What the heck can you do with an English degree?' I asked this of myself after I graduated. But my English degree comes in handy in so many different ways. Having the ability to communicate is a lost art."
Kafoury was destined to graduate from Whitman. Her grandmother, step-grandfather, mother, father, uncle and cousin all attended Whitman. She credits the college for helping her build numerous, lasting relationships.
"The campus is so small, you meet everyone. And they are from all different walks of life."
Smith-Currie is one of those friends. From working together in Washington, D.C. as legislative aides, to running campaigns, to working on the Sellwood Bridge Project, the friendship they started at Whitman has helped propel their political careers.
"The Whitman experience is unique," Smith-Currie said. "Walla Walla is a small town, so you are immersed in the culture of the school. You meet so many people at a level that you wouldn't if you were going to college in a big city, where you often leave campus. The connections you make at Whitman are strong."
Kafoury and Smith-Currie believe these connections and friendships are an important part of the college experience.
"Nearly every job I've gotten was due to Whitman alumni who spoke up for me," said Smith-Currie. "Those connections made a difference throughout my career. Deborah being one of them."
While Smith-Currie is grateful to Whitman for introducing her to Kafoury, the policy advisor also credits Whitman for helping her succeed at the sometimes "whack-a-mole" aspect of her work.
"When I started on this project, I knew nothing about bridges other than I appreciated them for crossing over large bodies of water. The key skill set, which I developed at Whitman, is being able to synthesize a huge problem into manageable pieces in a way that people can understand what you're talking about."

Torche Gets Back Into Its Heavy Groove With Restarter
By Nathan Smith
Theodore is normally thought of as a folk band, a fair appellation given the dominance of acoustic instruments, country-flecked heartbreak and folk-song idioms employed in the songs. (For instance, a beautiful a cappella rendition of the folk standard "The Water is Wide" appears as a brief reverie on Lover.) But with each release, the band has pushed the amount of experimental, untamed noise to the forefront.
Lashier places the band in the folk tradition but emphasizes the push-pull between tradition and invention. "All folk music is hand-me-down songs, and if you can tap into that common sound, melody and structure and still let J.J. take it into this roaring thing, you get the best of both worlds."
Adds Torbitzky: "Justin's always written really great songs, and it's just been the rest of our jobs to make the songs interesting to us and hope that they'll be interesting to other people. We've redone a lot of songs to keep them interesting to us, and it always turns out to be heading in an avant-garde direction."

Like all great bands, Theodore is the product of four distinct but interlocking musical personalities. Kinkel-Schuster often sings with his feet together and his head tilted toward the ceiling, keeping his slight frame stock-still while singing with the conviction of a soul man. Torbitzky is the kind of refined, tasteful drummer who can play propulsive beats while wearing a sport coat and never relies on perspiration alone to affect the tenor of a song. Lashier switches between electric and upright bass and might add trumpet, keyboard and musical-saw flourishes. And like the Band's Garth Hudson, Hamon is Theodore's fuzzy-bearded wild card. He uses guitar, accordion and lap steel to create dense, layered moods within the songs — ranging from wild peals of feedback to bucolic, undulating swaths of sound.
This spirit of collaboration helps drive the band creatively and makes each show a different, of-the-moment experience. "It wouldn't be a fucking band if what eventually comes out isn't a bastardization of everything all of us thinks and feels and listens to," Kinkel-Schuster says.
Hamon chimes in, laughing: "We have an album full of bastards! Great."
"Right, it wouldn't be a band," Kinkel-Schuster continues. "Without the chemistry of people playing together, it's just not the same."

Philadelphia, PA (SportsNetwork.com) - Something isn't right with St. Louis Cardinals ace Adam Wainwright.
Mechanically he looks fine. His velocity has been relatively the same all season. But anyone who has seen him throw lately can identify that something seems askew.
After earning a National League All-Star start by going 12-4 with a 1.83 ERA, Wainwright has pitched to 4.68 ERA in eight starts since. The Cardinals have won only three of those games.
Wainwright closed out a miserable month of August on Wednesday with a loss in Pittsburgh. The right-hander wasn't exactly awful in the setback to the Pirates, but wasn't exactly the lights out ace he had been in the first half of the season either.
After giving up three runs in the first three innings, he blanked the Pirates over his final three frames to give his teammates a chance to win. Still, he needed 103 pitches to get through six innings.
"The guy is a warrior," manager Mike Matheny said. "He is just an absolute example of how you're supposed to continue to go through this. It's too bad that we couldn't have gotten a little more run support."
In all, he was just 2-4 in the month and pitched to a 5.17 ERA in six starts. To further put it into perspective, he had a 1.92 ERA entering August.
"It has been a grind, and I'll just continue to go out there and battle my tail off until things click back into place," said Wainwright, who lost four games in a month for the first time in his career. "It's been a while, and I'm ready to move on. As ugly as it is, and whatever it may look like, I'm still holding us in the game and I know that we're close. This month is over for me. I'm ready to move onto September and build off the few good pitches I did throw."
Not one to make excuses, Wainwright did reveal that he is dealing with a dead arm. It's certainly not uncommon for a pitcher, especially one who turns 33 on Saturday, that has thrown 464 2/3 innings since the start of last season.
Including the postseason no pitcher in baseball has thrown more innings than Wainwright since he returned from Tommy John surgery in 2012.
And we are not exactly dealing with Tim Lincecum fall off the face of the Earth type of struggles here either. Yes, Wainwright has hit a rough patch, but he is still just one win off the major league lead and is pitching to a 2.59 ERA.
Even with his awful August, only seven pitchers in baseball have a lower ERA than Wainwright.
Let's put it this way, a lot of teams would like Adam Wainwright to be their biggest problem right now.
And despite Wainwright struggling, the Cards are still on top of the National League wild card standings and 1 1/2 games off the pace in the NL Central. In case you were wondering that's 1 1/2 games better than they were in the division when Waino's "troubles" began.
There might be something else that is bothering Wainwright.
Perhaps his rough stretch here is linked to the absence of all-world catcher Yadier Molina, who has been sidelined since July 9, almost exactly the time Wainwright's struggles began.
Well guess what? Molina should be back at some point this weekend and most definitely will be back behind the plate when Wainwright's turn comes up again next week.
There aren't many pitchers who don't love having Yadi behind the plate and Wainwright is no exception. Over the course of his nine-year career, Wainwright has a 2.83 ERA in the 1241 2/3 innings he has pitched with Molina behind the plate, and a 4.03 ERA in the 261 innings he has thrown to anyone else.
Problem solved, right? I guess we will find out next week.

A Language Older than Words is both memoir and nature essay. It is easily one of the most profoundly moving books I have ever read … amazing, beautiful, disturbing, provocative, passionate, poetic. The author courageously breaks the silence on his own story of abuse, and skillfully interweaves the atrocities of domestic abuse with the atrocities of our "civilization" and ecological destruction.
His ceaseless mantra is that we do not have to live this way. His hard-hitting truth telling of the culture of denial we live in stands in counterbalance to the hope that if we begin to live with compassion for our own real suffering, and if we begin to rip off the layers of denial, we will find a world of deep connection waiting for us … a language older than words. Derrick Jensen's refusal to be silenced, his willingness to say "the emperor has no clothes," gives me the courage to continue to speak and live my own truth.

Severn Sound was one of 17 places on the Canadian side of the Great Lakes which are known as "Areas Of Concern" (AOC) because of degraded water quality. The Severn Sound is located in southeastern Georgian Bay and includes major population centres in Midland and Penetanguishene. The watershed covers an area of approximately 1,000 km2.
In each AOC, a Remedial Action Plan was developed to identify and control sources of pollution and report on the cleanup. Between 1987 and 2003, Environment Canada and the Ontario Ministry of Environment were working with other federal and provincial agencies and local stakeholders in the Severn Sound area to complete a Remedial Action Plan (RAP). The purpose of the RAP is to restore and preserve the beneficial uses of Severn Sound for the present and the future.
In accordance with the International Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement
(GLWQA), the Parties are to report on the progress of the RAP at three stages:
The following remedial actions have been implemented to improve water quality and restore wildlife habitat in the Severn Sound Area of Concern:
• Improve sewage plant efficiency
Download the SSRAP Stage 3 Report (4.9 mbs) for:
• the strategy implemented to restore beneficial uses and meet locally defined goals in an Area of Concern (AOC).
On January 22, 2003, the Canadian Minister of the Environment and Minister of Foreign Affairs transmitted a letter to the International Joint Commission, formally announcing that Canada has removed Severn Sound from the list of Areas of Concern.

The effects of temperature and increased circulation on muscle tissue and the affect massage has
The increase of temperature on the muscle increases the blood flow to the area. This in turn will increase the oxygen and nutrients being supplied to the muscle. The warmer the muscle the more pliable it will become and with the increased supply of nutrients and oxygen the more workload can be placed on the muscle. The increased circulation also assists the lymphatic system in removing waste products being created with the work imposed on the muscle. As temperature to the muscle decreases so does the nutrient and oxygen supply will also decrease the work and flexibility capabilities of the muscle.
Massage will increase the blood flow to the area. It also aids the lymphatic system with the removal of waste from the area.
Muscle fatigue and what treatments can help to eliminate it
Is where a muscle is unable to sustain the contraction (work load). If it is continually worked without adequate rest it will become weaker and weaker. This is where a muscle cannot be supplied enough glycogen and oxygen and the lactic acid then build up within the muscle until the point of failure. This can be alleviated by an adequate training programme that also allows adequate rest of the muscles to return to a balanced state. It is also important to ensure it has enough nutrients supplied by the diet, along with oxygen and blood supply. This should also be built into a gradually increased training schedule to allow the body to adjust to any demands placed on it
All of the following treatments help with eliminating muscle fatigue. They encourage heat to the site which increases the circulation. This will increase oxygen and nutrients and assist with the removal of waste. They also assist the lymphatic system with the removal of waste and toxins from the body. Massage also helps with the application of pressure and techniques that also work with these two circulatory systems by relaxing tense muscles, reinstating their condition.
v Massage
v Sauna
v Steam bath
Stretching will also assist with the elimination of lactic acid by stretching the muscle fibres and keeping them free from fibrous build ups
Ice bathing after intense exercise will assist in the repair of micro tears within the muscles.
Re-hydration and fuel after an event will assist with the body replacing lost nutrients, salts and energy and assist with the repair of the muscles, and also aiding the lymphatic system of waste products.
Pre-event massage
This element is to assist the athlete with the preparation of their event both physically and mentally. This can be schedules in to their exercise programme as a regular event. The techniques, depth, duration and when it is performed will very much depend on the event and needs of the athlete. The aims of the massage are:
Ø Reduce the risk of injury
Ø Raise core temperature
Ø Increase blood flow to local areas
Ø Generate heat
Ø Not a warm up substitute
Ø Warm the muscles and stretch the tissues
Ø Aid removal of waste products
Ø 10 minutes max
Ø Energising
Ø Fast light movements
Ø Pre-event can be carried out 2 days prior to event if deeper work is required
Ø To enhance performance, with increased movement and mobility
Ø Invigorating / stimulating
Ø Prepares athlete for the event
o Physically
o Mentally
Ø Techniques to use;
o Effleurage
o Petrissage
o Tapotement
o Shaking
Mid-event massage
This element has the same aims as with the pre-event. In some sports it is possible to have treatment during the event and then continue.
Ø Has the same format as pre-event in aiding the prevention of injury
Ø This may also be used during a time out period of certain sports, to maintain the body temperature, relive and muscle tightness and prepared the muscles for the next period
Ø Techniques to use;
o Effleurage
o Petrissage
o Tapotement
o Shaking
Post-event massage
When an event is completed it is important for the athlete to recover. The post event element assists with this process. This will usually take place after the cool down has taken place. In some cases it is carried out as part of the process. The benefits of the post event massage are;
Ø Speeds recovery (pre competition)
Ø ½ hour to 4 days after the event
Ø Encourages muscle fibres to repair
Ø Slower and deeper
Ø Pain relief
Ø Removal of waste products
Ø ½ hour to 1 hour in duration
Ø Relaxing / feel good factor
Ø Aids O2 and nutrients into the muscles
Ø Can be a warm down substitute although not recommended
Ø Slows the heart rate
Ø Reduce DOMS
Ø Identification of problem / injury areas
Ø Techniques used are;
o Effleurage
o Petrissage
o Shaking
o Stroking
o Stretching
o Rocking
Corrective massage
This element is used when dealing with an issue.
Ø To assist with the healing process
Ø To relieve DOMS
Ø To assist with the breakdown of scar tissue
Ø Taking muscles out of contraction with postural issues
Ø Increase blood to the local area to remove waste products
Ø Muscle flexibility
Ø Pain relief
Ø Slower deeper massage
This element is used between events to;
Ø Provide the same benefits as with post event massage
Ø Identification of minor injuries prior to problems developing
Ø To ensure a steady state of muscle stability
Ø Maintaining and promoting current issues
Ø Assisting with identification training and increased workload implications
The different forms of massage are:
Deep tissue –
Ø This technique focuses on the deeper layers of muscle tissue
Ø Its aims are to release the chronic patterns of tension in the body by using slow strokes and deep finger pressure and friction on the contracted areas, either following or going across the fibre's of the muscles, tendons and fascia.
Ø This helps to break up and eliminate scar tissue.
Ø Deep tissue massage usually focuses on more specific areas and may cause some soreness during or right after the massage.
Ø However, if the massage is done correctly you should feel better than ever within a day or two.
Neuro-muscular –
Ø Also known as Trigger Point therapy (TPT).
Ø This consists of alternating levels of concentrated pressure on the areas of muscle spasm.
Ø The massage therapy pressure is usually applied with the fingers, knuckles, or elbow. Once applied to a muscle spasm, the pressure should not vary until the site starts to relax.
Ø Pressure should be reapplied several times to desensitise the area and re-educate the muscle to remain in its new state.
Cross fibre (Frictions) -
Ø Used for exploratory purposes, or for deeper and sometimes more painful movements
Ø To break down lesions separating fibres
Ø Use thumb or finger to grasp skin looking for abnormalities
Ø You can palpate skin going backwards and forwards across the muscle fibres (like guitar strings)
Ø This can be uncomfortable and painful
Ø Only carry this out for a short time
Ø Do not do for a long time as this can be detrimental, cause irritation and inflammation
You need to understand what way the muscle fibres go Linear
Ø These are massage movements that go with the muscle fibres and not across them
Ø Effleurage is a good example of this
Ø These are usually soothing moves
Ø They can be deep as well as superficial.
What is a "trigger point"
A trigger point is a hyper sensitive area in soft tissue, which when compressed is locally tender.
How would you recognise and treat a trigger point?
Ø Listen to the client. They may complain of a nagging aching pain, with no evidence of injury in the area.
Ø Gentle palpitation of the site in the area where you think the problem is
Ø Sensitivity. The area will be sensitive to the touch
Ø Twitching, the muscle fibres in the site may twitch due to muscle contraction and spasm
Ø Weakness, there is often muscle weakness in the site
Ø Muscle tightness, the point is often within a tight band of muscle
Ø Restriction, there is often localized muscle restriction within the muscle
2 ways to treat
Ø Direct compression – straight on to area. This could be with the thumbs, knuckles, elbows or a devise such as a "knobbler"
Ø Pincer palpating – Nipping muscle between 2 fingers
Ø There will always be a main site with several satellite sites close by
Ø These will impair the muscle function and cause postural problems. It will also have an effect on the lymphatic and blood circulation
Ø Communication is essential with the client. Explanation of the process and your expectation of the treatment, the pain thresholds and time on each site along with the feedback you require from your client is essential for the treatment.
Why stretching is recommended after trigger point therapy and other aftercare advice
Ø Stretches – To assist with the removal of waste and to avoid DOMS (delayed onset muscles soreness) as you have worked deeply into the muscles
Ø Postural exercises – To increase flexibility of tight overworked muscles and build and stretch un-worked muscles, as the muscles work in pairs.
Ø Documented aftercare programme – so that the client remembers the aftercare given and understands the exercises, frequency, intensity and amount of work they are suppose to do. This is to avoid re-occurrence and aid recovery (less treatments)
Massage has been used in many forms for thousands of years for rehabilitation and relaxation. Most types of massage are based around the four basic techniques described below. Massage uses a mixture of these techniques to stimulate the body to achieve the objectives required of the client. These objectives will be discussed in your initial consultation and re-evaluated in any subsequent treatments to ensure the best possible results.
Ø French effleurer meaning to skim over
Ø A soothing, warming, manoeuvre performed flat handed by the palmer surface
Ø This link all the moves and is also used to start and finish the massage
Ø It is light to touch and the pressure is of medium depth
Ø It increases blood flow to the surface. Erythema redness to the skin, through the capillaries to the surface
Ø Relaxing
Ø Effects;
o Stimulation of the sensory nerves
o Increases venous and lymphatic flow locally
o Relaxes contracted muscles
o Aids desquamation of the skin (exfoliation)
o Aids relaxation generally
o Relaxes during vigorous parts of the massage
Ø Kneading and squeezing muscles
Ø French petrir meaning squeezing and releasing
Ø Moves include;
o Kneading
o Palmer kneading
o Wringing
o Transverse
Ø Deep and targeting muscles, palmers, thumbs, knuckling are all included
Ø Friction warms up the muscle and breaks down the thickenings, knots etc
Ø Ironing Flat handed, moving muscle against the bone
Ø Effects;
o Will cause a lot of erythema
Back Massage Technique 5:
Frictions, using the Reinforced Middle Finger:
Ø Quick movements and striking. Needs enough adipose tissue
Ø This includes;
o Pinching
o Hacking
o Cupping
o Beating
o Pounding
Ø Effects;
o Real increase in superficial blood flow
o Erythema
o Local temperature rise
o Tones tissue
o Very stimulating for the circulation
Ø Fine movements, static or running form
Ø Area usually on the back
Ø Used along the nerve pathways
Ø Difficult to do
Ø Used to relax the client
Ø Effects;
o Fine vibrations relax the client
o Intense vibrations stimulate
o This can assist in loosening scar tissue
Contraindications are health issues that are looked at during the consultation process. They may have a bearing on the treatment that can be offered to you. In some cases treatment may not be possible unless a referral is authorised by the clients GP, who may also require restrictions and feedback of progress. In some cases certain areas of the body have to be avoided. The document below gives a brief outline of the conditions, their causes, the effects of massage and the action required by the client, therapist and GP.
Recent soft tissue injury – these are recent injuries to the muscular skeletal system. These are pulling injuries to the supports (tendons and ligaments) around a joint. These can represent themselves with swelling, deformity, pain, redness, heat and bruising and restrictions to the range of movement.
Ø Causes – Sprains and strains, acute injuries
Ø Effects of massage – Pain and discomfort. Further damage to tissue and bones healing
Ø Action required to proceed – GP referral. Avoid area
Ø Contra-indicator - local
High Blood pressure – Hypertension. Is when the blood pressure is above 140/90. This is measured through the pressure within the arteries. This is contributed to by many things as stated below and generally needs to be managed through medication to lower this to a safer level and adjust lifestyle to reduce the associated risks, of heart conditions. This can cause heart disease, heart failure, kidney failure and cerebral haemorrhage
Ø Causes – anxiety, stress, over weight, high cholesterol, diabetes. Pressure is increased due to a restriction within the arteries, so the heart has to work harder to pump the blood around
Ø Effects of massage – Massage increased the blood flow so could increase the associated risks and make the heart work to hard
Ø Action required to proceed – GP referral
Ø Contra-indicator - General
Low blood pressure – Hypotension. The opposite of HBP. Is when the blood pressure drops below 100/60. This can prevent the body from obtaining the necessary oxygen and nutrients required, and can result in fainting, tiredness and collapse.
Ø Causes – Pressure is low so it doesn't get pumped around quick enough. Loss of blood can also produce low blood pressure.
Ø Effects of massage – Must not get up to quickly as this can cause fainting.
Ø Action required to proceed – GP referral
Ø Other – Never use lavender oil on someone with low blood pressure as this is used to relax and can cause problems
Ø Contra-indicator - General

Ø Action required to proceed – GP referral
Ø Contra-indicator - Local
Embolism – Clot floating around. Travelling foreign article.
Ø Effects of massage – If this sticks in the brain it can cause a stroke and in the heart a heart attack.
Ø Action required to proceed – GP referral
Ø Contra-indicator - General
Heart attack – A floating blood clot sticking in the heart. Depending on the size of the blockage and the part of the heart affected will determine the outcome. At worse this can result in death.
Ø Effects of massage – causes undo pressure to heart making it work harder increasing blood flow
Ø Action required to proceed – GP referral
Ø Contra-indicator - General
Stroke – When oxygen and nutrient supply to the brain is impaired. Caused by a blot clot preventing blood to the brain. The outcome depends on how much and how long the brain is starved of the nutrients. It can result in partial paralysis or death.
Ø Effects of massage – causes increased pressure to the circulatory system making it work harder increasing blood flow
Ø Action required to proceed – GP referral
Ø Contra-indicator - General
Fever – Is one of the bodies natural defences against bacteria and viruses which cannot live at a higher temperature. Also, the body's defence mechanisms seem to work more efficiently at a higher temperature. Fever is just one part of an illness, many times no more important than the presence of other symptoms such as cough, sore throat, etc
Ø Effects of massage – increases the circulatory system making it work harder increasing blood flow and assists the lymphatic system
Ø Action required to proceed – Communication with eth client, it may help them to relax and assist the body in fighting the infection
Ø Contra-indicator - General
Epilepsy – Disruption to the electrical signals to the brain. Two types Petit mal, which is minor epilepsy causing momentary lack of concentration and the appearance of day dreaming. This can also be a prerequisite of a major fit. The second type is grand mal, major epilepsy. The disruption of the brain causes seizures (fits) and disruption to consciousness. These can be dramatic, the casualty may have a prior warning that they are about to be subjected to their condition.
Ø Effects of massage – Triggers fit
Ø Action required to proceed – GP referral
Ø Contra-indicator - General
Diabetes – This is where the body is unable to regulate glucose in the blood. If not controlled the sugar levels drop and impact the brains functions. If the sugars are not replaced it can result in unconsciousness. This is balanced with good diet and insulin or medication.
Type 1 – Insulin dependant, normally from a young age
Type 2 – Dietary controlled, normally middle aged over weight people
Ø Causes – Low sugar levels
Ø Effects of massage – Increases oxygen and nutrients that could affect the sugar levels. Due to poor circulation they can bruise easily, be aware of pressure tolerances
Ø Action required to proceed – GP referral
Ø Other – Make sure that they have a sugar food item with them to increase levels if required.
Ø Contra-indicator - General
Spastic conditions – Conditions that cause muscle spasm due to the brain functions being disturbed or impaired. Conditions such as epilepsy, head injuries, brain-damaging diseases and oxygen starvation.
Ø Effects of massage – trigger muscle spasm
Ø Action required to proceed – GP referral
Ø Contra-indicator - General
Dysfunction of the nervous system– Parkinson's and ME can cause muscle spasm and loss of sensation in areas. These conditions are causes by disruptions to the nervous system and the resulted return responses to the body to control its self and produce reactions to stimuli.
Ø Effects of massage – How will you be able to get them onto a treatment couch? Will you be able to get them to relax? Do lots of background work. Massage can trigger spasm and loss of feeling
Ø Action required to proceed – GP referral

Ø Action required to proceed –Avoid area.
Ø Contra-indicator – Local
When treatment might affect a significant condition. These would be described as contra actions. If contra indicators have been checked and the client has provided the detail required, contra actions are usually unavoidable, as it is very difficult to determine a client's reaction to treatment. This would be more likely to happen to a client who was unaware that they had a specific condition.

Understanding how the brain creates the mind is one of the great mysteries facing scientists in the 21st century. The Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences at MIT is making great progress in solving this mystery. Our faculty works in collaboration to explore how the brain functions in order to understand what happens when the brain ceases to work properly. Our research laboratories will make a difference in the lives of our children and parents, our friends and our neighbors.
Current support for our research comes from a variety of sources: federal (NIH, NSF among others), grants from foundations, corporations and biotechnology firms as well as from private individuals. This support has enabled our researchers to attract graduate students and postdoctoral fellows, increase interest in various research programs, and it has enhanced collaboration among our investigators both within MIT and beyond.
In addition, these funds have been used to purchase equipment, support our colloquium series, and fund pilot projects on innovative approaches to help unlock the mysteries of the brain. However, there is more that can be done.
Support for the Department
The physical brain and its associated cognitive functioning arm — the mind — are together one of the last great frontiers of scientific research. The department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences at MIT was founded with an unprecedented cross-disciplinary, approach to studying both the brain and the mind. This strategy became an international model, setting the standard for institutions around the world. The Department continues to lead the way towards unlocking the mysteries of the mind and increasing our understanding of brain diseases and disorders. Your support is helping to further our research and thus we are able to achieve and reach our goals.
Support for Faculty
Because the human brain is immensely complex, the department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences collectively pursues every level of inquiry — from molecules to cells to circuits to the mystery of the mind itself. The integration of methods and insights from every area of brain research is vital to studying the brain's diseases and disorders, as well as its development and daily feats, like vision, speech, movement and memory. Already known for remarkable contributions to the field, BCS faculty members continually stretch the limits of knowledge, and bring the same passion to educating exceptional students. Donor support for "Blue-Sky" projects — projects deemed too risky for traditional funding mechanisms — is already assisting our faculty to make great in-roads. Another way to support our faculty is through an endowed chair. An endowed chair is a visible way to recognize and reward outstanding researchers and educators. It is one of the most lasting and significant gifts a donor can make to MIT. Simply put, an endowed chair accomplishes two things: It provides a permanent legacy to honor scholarship, teaching, and research for the chair holders, and it reflects the benefactor's abiding commitment to MIT.
Support for Graduate Students
Graduate students make up 60 percent of MIT's student population, and are one of the Institute's greatest intellectual resources. In the Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences, graduate students have painstakingly studied the human brain and advanced the pace of discovery. The scholars receive financial support primarily through research assistantships (RAs) and fellowships, while a minority relies upon teaching assistantships (TAs). Most of the department's traditional research assistantships have been funded by federal grants — a funding source that fluctuates given changing government priorities. Private support for fellowships ensures that the unusual diversity of expertise continues to foster an intensely creative atmosphere, which sparks startling collaborations.
Department Head James DiCarlo stresses the importance of support for students. "We're drastically shifting our attention to the interdisciplinary, to new fields at the confluence of biological science and engineering. To do that, we need a support mechanism conducive to attracting and retaining a new breed of student." The Department relies on fellowships to bring in these highly creative individuals with interests in interdisciplinary research.

Always nice with some info, if only to speculate.
Further more expansions also have patches that require artists when adding new content. Those same artists could also be working on another expansion out.

well...- The Team wants to launch expansions faster but it is still a problem because there arent enough good developers who applied at Blizzard Entertainment
P.S. Does anyone else think it's utterly insane how much time it's taking them to release SC2 expansions? It's the same damn engine! It's the same game!

Went there a few times with no reservations and was always greeted and seated right away. The staff is dressed classy, place is clean the food is outstanding and priced decent. I absolutely love the atmosphere and the setup. Piano is awesome as are the violin and guitar players. Definitely brings you back to when manners mattered. Going this weekend.
Posted by roknrolhrt on 10/30/2011
It was our first visit, but it felt like we had been there many times. A very welcoming environment replete with lots of handshaking, back-patting, and hugging among staff and customers. We were with out-of-state friends and had a wonderful time. The greeter was very friendly, our waiter engaging (and he spoke Italian--a big plus), and the owner we met seemed genuinely happy to welcome us to his restaurant. The food was quite good and reasonably priced, but the single most impressive quality of dining at Sabatino's is the welcome home, convivial atmosphere. We will be back again and again!
Posted by Tiffany on 03/05/2008
I hae been going to Sabatino's ever sine I was a kid (I am 31 years old now) and I have always had a great experience. The place has an old world feel, delicious food, and a charming staff. The owners are always around and not only do they come to your table to ask how you are and how the food is, they even cook some of the dishes and desserts table side. Plus, the server/hostess Ramona is simply a doll. Whether you like pasta, fish, veal, steak, chops, or chicken, you will find something that your palate will love! I have loved every experience there and so has every person to whom I have recommended this place.
Posted by Darren, chef, Ireland on 09/14/2007
From the first moment we arrived i was totally impressed. like a seen from goodfellas the ambience was fantastic. We were in a party of 8 with 2 small children. The staff were went out of their way for us. I loved slicing our own bread. I took Oysters to start with Minestroni to follow, both were divine. Actually the soup was the best i have ever tasted. For main Course i went with the Veal stuffed with Italian sausage served with a sweet tomato sauce, beautiful. To top a fantastic evening the owner payed us a visit and brought a platter of fresh fruit, delightful. I must add the 2 gentleman playing violin and guitar were excellent.
Posted by NML on 03/28/2007
I've been to Sabatino's many many times and even had a private party there once. When you go make sure you have plenty of time. This is not a place to go when you're in a hurry. Make a reservation and you still have to wait to be seated when you arrive. The food is fantastic. I've had ribs, fish, pasta, chicken and always have been pleased. Drinks are terrific and the piano bar after dinner on Friday or Saturday is not to be missed. Sabatino's owners are always appreciative of my repeat visits and has given me complementary drinks or food in past dinings. Some waiters and waitresses are more jovial than others although all are competent. This is a crowded busy place and should not be overlooked.
Posted by DS on 03/24/2007
I just got back from Sabatino's on the recommendation of a friend. What a fabulous time. I am so tired of hoity toity trendy restaurants where everyone looks the same and food is "eclectic." Sabatino's is exactly the opposite. All different types of people, strong drinks, excellent food, dim lighting, and a wonderful waitress named Michelle, made for an evening to remember. The owner stopped by our table several times to introduce himself and see how we were doing. We will be back soon - in fact, this may be my new regular dinner spot in town. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
Posted by MPD on 01/04/2007
Hostess was less than charming - when we told her we didn't have reservations she made a face. We were seated quickly and server took our drink orders. Place began to crowd up after 630 to the point every 5mins bus boys and waitresses kept excusing themselves to get through to other parties. The area we were located in was definitely not a romantic spot - it was too noisy you can practicately hear everyone's conversations. Soup, Salad, Entrées were served every 30 mins. When entrées finally arrived my friends chicken had an eye lash on it she disregarded it. My entrée the norweign salmon had a black short hair on the sauce. Plate was replaced but after having my entire party finish their food. In total we were there 2hr and 15 mins. I can suggest that servers should try to lift trays higher to prevent their hairs from being dropped on food because they carry entrée trays so close to their necks.. I will NOT go back to Sabtino's this place is better off kept a secret.

Daniel Bryan vs John Cena was by far, the best match to take place in the WWE this year. Everything about the match was truly spectacular, from the crowd reaction, to the in-ring psychology, to the surprising finish. I think it is clear that we should all take off our anti-Cena shirts for a moment and give credit where credit is due. John Cena put out an amazing effort tonight, and although his moves may not have been all 100% crisp, he continued to show that he is more than capable of putting on a great wrestling match if he is given the opportunity. It should also never be understated that Cena went out as the WWE Champion to a huge ppv event, and lost to another man, clean and in the ring. At this stage in his career, Cena could totally have the entitlement to go out there and say that he is not going to lose to anybody cleanly. As much as us fans (myself included) love to try to paint Cena as the devil in jorts, it is simply not true, as evident by the humbling way he put over a younger, fresher face who really needed the victory.
As much as I was impressed by John Cena, the match really belonged to Daniel Bryan. I once watched Daniel Bryan wrestle at a high school gymnasium, in front of only a few hundred fans, and to see him not only win the WWE Championship, but to do so in such an overwhelming fashion, was truly a moment that I will cherish forever as a wrestling fan. I had given Los Angeles some flak in my last column about supplying Summerslam with consistently lackluster crowds, but that wasn't the case this year. Daniel Bryan had everybody in the arena eating out of the palm of his hand. The ability to control that massive amount of people, especially in this day and age of the hyper-intelligent wrestling fan, is a skill that comes along only once in a generation, and Daniel Bryan has that.
Somehow more important than the match itself, the post-match fallout is what really drove the fans over the edge. In a much hyped and debated maneuver, Triple H, the guest referee, turned on Daniel Bryan and laid him out with the pedigree. This allowed Randy Orton to cash in his Money in the Bank contract and win his 7th WWE Championship. It is fairly clear that Orton and Triple H are in cahoots, which makes the situation extremely interesting, considering the two veterans storied rivalry dating back almost a decade.
Randy Orton is a natural heel, and watching him play the hero role the last few years was like trying to fall asleep on a chair; it just wasn't comfortable to do. Now, Orton is a much better position, as a heel champion with a corporate backer. With Vince McMahon not making an appearance at Summerslam, it seems likely that a huge announcement of some kind will take place on Raw, explaining what exactly happened at Summerslam. I think it is too soon to judge the WWE's decision to have Bryan win and then lose the title on the same night, but for now, we can at least say that it was a move that got EVERYONE talking, and we should all be looking forward too what is now the hottest storyline in the WWE (well, except for Ryback vs catering, that is on fire).
