Very pleased with this product.. It works well.
I'm not sure if these are contributing to my weight loss but I have noticed that they do help me through a hard workout. I sweat like crazy on these and I'm someone who is always cold usually. They do are my cheeks burn a bit if I take three but I don't seem to have such a hot flush for ages afterwards if I only take two. Goes Well With:Water and plenty of it.
Good product,this product work before the training giving energy
I started by taking a couple when I left work at the end of the day before I hit the gym. Whilst I felt my energy was boosted and I worked out longer I barely slept. I therefore switched to just taking one when I get up in the morning and if I'm up at 6am for work its fine but if I take them any later in the morning I struggle to sleep again. But it definitely gives me an energy boost which I am sorely lacking right now.
I have been taking the Thermopure with Active Woman and shake for around 5 weeks and not sure I have noticed any difference in my body. I work out in the evening and would take the Thermopure before I left work but whilst I was able to work out for longer I was unable to sleep for hours after which for my job is not good. So I now take one tablet in the morning, i do still find I can work out for longer and may try something different on the weekend as I am able to go to the gym more. I want to try a few more producta but will see how I get along finishing these first.
Great product to us with other MyProtein products
These definitely give you an extra boost of energy which has repeatedly help me run and workout for longer. They really make you sweat too! I find these just as effective as Jst Jodie Semtex and are much cheaper so would definitely recommend!!
Arrived super quick and tastes just like strawberry milkshake easily drinkable.
Have only just started taking these ! Easy to take with no nasty after taste .
I bought these as a pre workout as a replacement for the much more expensive Jst Jodie Semtex. Have been taking three before I work out and have had a little more energy than normal. Can't comment on the fat burning quality as I've only used them for a week so far. Good price and I'm happy with the energy boost I get for training!
I have been taking these before my workout every day for roughly a week now, and I do feel a difference. Normally, after my workout, I will feel rather empty and tired. When I take these before my workout, I still feel like I have spare energy. I also feel more energetic during my workout. I managed a few more reps than my normal progress and I still didn't feel anywhere near as exhausted at the end of it. Well worth trying if you want a little bit extra energy to push harder!
notice I have more energy, really noticeable
Can honestly say that combining Thermopure with CLA, BCAA, Whey Protein isolate and a healthy diet has contributed to my body fat reducing from 26.4% to 24.3 % my weight has remained the same however there has been a significant increase in lean muscle and strength.
I am mixing Elle total CLA with Elle thermopure and Elle true diet protein mix and living it all! I have no after taste left after taking tablets, vanilla shake is lovely and I felt like I could see the difference after 7 days I couldn't believe it, definitely keeping this up! Thanks
Not used anything like this before but have just ordered my second pack. The tablets are quite large but so far have found them easy to swallow and they don't taste of very much but do have a hint of raspberry. I haven't found them to stick in my throat but they do make me burp, but it's ok as that tastes of raspberry too! I find it better to take them 15/20 minutes before I workout, they give you a nice warm glow and they do give me a great burst of energy. Whilst working out I am definitely sweating more, the only downside is that they do make me a bit windy which isn't very ladylike but thankfully I workout at home! I have only been using it for nearly 2 weeks so haven't given it much time yet, but prior to this my weight has stuck for 3 weeks despite working out daily and healthy eating. Since using this along with the other products in the women's bundle I have dropped 2lbs and 6% body fat which is fab in such a short space of time, so looking forward to seeing what impact it has the longer I use it.Goes Well With:A good swig of water
I'm so impressed with MP MAX Elle Thermopure, it worked straight away. I had more energy in the gym and felt I could give a lot more in my workouts. I also found myself feeling fuller when taking one capsule on an empty stomach which helped me to not snack between meals. The only downside for me was the peppery after taste, but this doesn't last long.Goes Well With:Carb control
I used this MP MAX Elle Thermopure last year for the first time and looking back at pictures, I do seem to be a bit more trim whilst I was using this product. I take two before a workout I have been able to withstand more than an hours worth of weigh training and it also seems to make me do that little bit extra cardio (which I hate!) so anything that will give me a bit more of a boost is brilliant! I am currently taking them with the carb blockers also purchased from this site and haven't had any side effects or reactions to mixing the two! All in all, a good product but this is the first time I have used it everyday properly since last year so we will see if it truly makes any difference to my body now I'm giving it a really good go at getting I'm shape! Goes Well With:Carb Blockers
I've noticed a slight increase in energy since using these ! Worth a go, easy to take !
The product was delivered earlier than I expected. I am unable to say if the product is working for me yet as I am only on my 2nd week. However, I feel that I am sweating more at the gym (and general housework jobs at home!) so fingers crossed it is doing some good. I have been taking one tablet every morning and a 2nd or 3rd as the day goes on and depending on my work and gym routine. The product is easy to swallow with water and I do not feel that it leaves and after taste in my mouth.
I'm only onto day 5 using these but so far I am impressed with the results. I have seen an increase in energy levels when training and not expereinced any issues with not sleeping etc due to the natural stimulants in the product; I dont normally even drink coffee so when I have used similar products in the past this has been an issue. I've already started to recommend them to friends!
MP MAX Elle Thermopure gives you a good energy boost for a gym session.
I am sweating a lot more since taking these MP MAX Elle Thermopure tablets, and I am also getting much stronger at keeping up with my circuit workout. I take 3 tablets before exercising.
After taking these before exercise a few times a week, I can say that they have appeared to make the gym easier on days when you're just not feeling it. I definitely sweat more when I have taken them. But as yet I have lost no weight.
MP MAX Elle Thermopure gives me so much energy I hardly can stop training each day. Would recommend to everyone!Goes Well With:Myprotein MP MAX Elle Active Woman Myprotein MP MAX Elle True Diet
Bought these for my girlfriend as she was looking for something to give an extra edge to help burn off the stubborn belly fat! She's only used them for a week, but they do make her sweat a lot more, so assume the calories are being burnt more and for longer!
"Thermopure have really helped me with my workouts. If I don't take them before then i feel like i'm not as pumped during my workout. When i do take them (3 before every workout) i feel really pumped and have the energy to go for 2 hours straight. They do make me feel like i cant stop still sometimes, but at the gym thats a plus for me, so i would definately recommend them to anyone that wants to work harder in the gym and sweat alot! The only down side would be that if you leave them in your mouth for too long (because you are trying to swallow them) they have a nasty taste, so just swallow them straight away if you can!!!"
Well this is the first day for these..and im not sure whether im supposed to be feeling drowsy....i have a headache..i dont know whether this is supposed to happen..I do however feel the more energetic..feel less hungry..i feel i have been able to walk more and run more with the help of these than i have before..i bought these by the reviews that were on this site..i will carry on taking these as they may help me to loose weight...i will keep you all updated..
I received my Thermopure yesterday and took 2 prior to working out and had the best workout in ages. I think maybe 2 was too much for me as I did feel extremely wired but they certainly did give me a boost. I will try taking 1 tonight before body pump class and see how that goes. I wouldn't recommend taking these anywhere near bedtime if you are sensitive to caffeine though. Great product and would definitely buy again.
"I love myprotein products and us the dietwhey shakes and they taste good and when i had the motivation to loose weight they were working, i then bought these after the review and for me it was a waste as they are huge and theres no chance i can swallow them, they also cant be made smaller, i emptied them out of the plastic coating and put in water and was nearly sick :( this isnt the fault of the company but i was disappointed that it wasnt put anywhere how big these were. "
"Thermopure is very effective while doing exercise. Maybe too effective, haha. I'm quite sensitive to too much sugar and coffee (can't have caffeine after 4pm or I won't sleep), and this tends to keep me awake well past 10/11pm even if I have it first thing in the morning. I've also had to cut down to just 1 tablet a day. The first time I had 2 tablets (along with the True Diet protein shake) at about 6am, I felt a bit high for most of the day, and I was so hyper everyone noticed. I tried having 2 before exercising, but was so distracted with how my body was feeling - hyper, alert, hot like I had a fever, and a little bit high - that just running on the treadmill was a mission. Next I tried having just 1 tablet 2h before working out and OMG, I did about 3 times as much exercise as I usually do. I could just go and go and go. In fact I overdid it so much I couldn't be bothered to go again for a few days. So I guess I'm still experimenting with when to take my single tablet a day. Too late, and I can't fall asleep before midnight. Within 2h of exercise, and I overdo it. I also felt noticably hotter. While everyone would be wearing a jacket in the office, I'd be complaining about how hot it is. Quite useful standing at the bus stop at 6am in winter, but otherwise a bit distracting. So if you are quite sensitive like I am, you'll have trouble finding the right dosage and time to take it, but from a purely athletic point of view, it is amazing, and I have been recommending it to all my friends. "
ive tried many different brands and found these to be the only ones that i can feel truly work... after doing 10hr working days i was finding it hard to have the energy for a gym session or class. ive found these tablets have really helped me power through and keep me going. defiantly worth trying. im very impressed and will be buying more!
"I LOVE THIS PRODUCT!! Its a massive part of my life and will not work out without it! Also for a hunger suppressant works extremely well. I sweat and work harder because of it! Does give you a bit of a caffeine edge, but you do get used to it, and i have no other side effects at all. Will continue to purchase!"
"I do like this product as it does increase your energy. However, it's insulting that they brand an existing product as ""Max Elle"" and charge more for it. If you search for the original thermopure (which is 100% identical) it's cheaper than the ""female"" version!"
"I bought this a couple of weeks ago, looking forward to trying it with all the great reviews. However every time I have taken it, my workout has been cut short due to feeling very ill and even being sick for the rest of the day. At first I thought it was just a stomach bug, but as it has happened every time (usually 30mins - an hour after taking the capsules) I have come to realise its definitely the Themopure. Having tried many dietry supplements in the past, I am surprised that Themopure is the only one that has ever affected me like this. Might just be that it doesnt agree with my system, either way dont think I could recommend it."
"I have been trying to lose weight for quite a while and started taking Thermopure last week with a beach holiday coming up - I am really impressed already! I usually burn 500 calories working out on the bike. Since taking Thermopure before each workout, I can now push it to 650! I was losing a steady 1-2 lbs per week - but last week I lost 4lbs! Would highly recommend this product for boosting energy to make the most out of your workout."
"Love this stuff!! Been using it for a week in conjuction with diet and training. Noticed a big difference - feel warmer, high rate stays higher, sweat more over night. Best of all lost 5lbs and an inch each thigh and waist. No problem with capsule size - you can taste the raspberry in it which is quite pleasant. This is the first fat burner product I've tried and it definitely gives an extra edge when you're diet and training is spot on. I won't diet without it again!"
"If like me you have been going to the gym for years and years and just want that extra kick up the behind, this product is great! It gives me masses of energy normally I am the world's most sluggish person in the morning but this is great... \n\nI did lose 2% Body Fat in the first week, was doing a bit more cardio, admittedly, due to the extra energy! Also lost 2 pounds- So I think it is a good product for those who workout!! \n\nMy only gripe is that, for a Ladies' product I wish the capsules were smaller as they can be hard to swallow, especially 3.. Which is the stated dose.. hence 4 stars!\n\nBut yeah great product! Thanks!!"

Since the 1950s, people have been learning about pheromones. A pheromone is a chemical signal produced by one organism that triggers some sort of reaction in another one of the same species.
Pheromones are now known from all sorts of animals and even plants, but we usually think of them in relation to insects. Mating pheromones are often first to come to mind, but there are many other kinds. When your dog marks a tree with his urine for other dogs to sniff, it is a pheromone marking his territory.
The first pheromones discovered were associated with insect mating, particularly with moths. It was found that female moths emit an attractive odor (which we can't smell) that carries on the wind, and males can smell it for miles. This proved useful in pest control, once humans learned how to make synthetic pheromones to fool males and lure them to their death in traps.

Bees, seen here at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York, use pheromones to identify food sources, nesting sites and for communicating.
The interesting thing is that the insects are attracted to the odor, and they do not need to even glimpse a female. It is a totally automatic, instinctive response to the odor. When I was working setting out gypsy moth pheromone traps, I had male moths following me all over! When I worked with cockroaches, the males and females were kept separate. If a food dish or other object from the females' cage was placed in the males' cage, the males would swarm all over it.
There is another type of pheromone related to mating. It is produced by some male insects, particularly certain beetles. It is called an aggregation pheromone. It causes beetles of both sexes to gather together, which makes finding mates easy.
Alarm pheromones are very important, especially in social insects. They are used when an insect is threatened or attacked, and they can cause either escape or attack behavior. For example, when an aphid is in danger, it emits an alarm and drops off the plant. Other nearby aphids smell it and drop off, too.
With social insects, alarm pheromones cause colony members to attack. If one bee stings you, she sends out an alarm and other nearby bees will also get after you. If you disturb an ant colony, thousands of ants will rush out to bite and/or sting in defense of their home. The same goes for yellowjackets if you happen to mow over their nest.
Ants have trail-marker pheromones to guide their nestmates to food. Each ant that visits the food marks the trail on her way home for as long as the food holds out. As the food runs low, the returning ants stop marking. That way, the trail fades out, and ants are not going out for nothing.
Bees, too, use pheromones to mark food sources. They also mark possible new nest sites when they are getting ready to swarm. Colony members visit the sites and continue to mark the sites that meet their approval. That way, sort of a "vote" is taken as to which site will be the new home.
Many pheromones are used in bee colonies to keep the operation running smoothly. The queen bee pheromone tells the workers that the queen is there and in good health. If she is not, the workers must feed larvae "royal jelly" to raise another queen. Pheromones also control the numbers of workers doing various hive duties, such as nurse bees, wax makers, guards and foragers. Brood pheromones inform the workers about the age and gender of larvae, letting them know how much food is needed.
Some female insects have a special pheromone that they use to mark places where they have laid eggs, such as certain leaves or fruit. This tells other females of their species to look for some other place to lay their eggs.

NEW ORLEANS – The Baltimore Ravens' defense ranked outside the top 10 in the NFL in yards allowed this year for the first time in a decade.
With seven games to go in the season, the Ravens were sixth worst in the league in yards allowed. They rallied to finish 17th.
The Ravens insist cracks in their defensive armor are overrated entering Sunday's Super Bowl XLVII against the San Francisco 49ers.
"Our guys have done a great job of not worrying about stats," said Ravens defensive coordinator Dean Pees. "The bottom line is you've gotta be good in the red zone and you gotta not give up points."
Indeed, the Ravens ranked fifth in the league in points allowed and were second in preventing touchdowns once the opposition reached the red zone.
Nevertheless, the San Francisco offense poses a big challenge to the Ravens' run defense. The 49ers have one of the most physical and talented offensive lines in the NFL. San Francisco ranked fourth in the league in rushing, averaging 156 yards a game.
"It's going to be a real physical game," said Ravens defensive end Haloti Ngata. "They pride themselves and their offense prides themselves in being physical and trying to run the ball. They have a physical running back. We want to be physical all the time. I expect it to be a real physical game."
Baltimore was 20th against the run, yielding 123 a game. The Ravens were terrible against two of the better rushing offenses they faced. They gave up 43 points in a loss to Houston early in the season. They allowed 31 points and 172 rushing yards in a late-season win over Washington. Both Washington and San Francisco boast a dual-threat quarterback who excels both running and passing.
Ravens safety Ed Reed said the Niners' scheme is hard to defend.
"You have so much that can come off it," said Reed. "You got the pass off it, you got the option off it, you got the dive off it, you got the quarterback off it. They might deliver a pizza or two off it, you just don't know what they're gonna come with."
San Francisco QB Colin Kaepernick has averaged 7.6 yards a carry and scored seven rushing touchdowns this year. His read-option running plays, in which he either hands off to a running back up the middle or runs off tackle, have increased. The Niners ran the read option 3.7 times a game in the regular season but have used it 14.5 times a game in the playoffs, according to ESPN.
In the divisional round, Green Bay overplayed Niners back Frank Gore between the tackles and Kaepernick gashed them outside for 181 rushing yards. Last week Atlanta did a great job on Kaepernick, but Gore got 90 yards and two touchdowns.
"The option pistol stuff that they're running, I know Washington runs it some, but it's a little different," Pees said, referring to the Pistol formation, in which the back lines up directly behind the QB. "Everyone talks about No. 7 [Kaepernick], but 21 [Gore] can beat you just as easy as 7."
"He's still, to me, the main focus," Pees said of Gore.
"A lot of people who played against them just never communicated at all," said Baltimore linebacker Ray Lewis. "I believe that's one of the advantages of what we have as a defense.
"A lot of people against the read-option just played as individuals. It's really hard to play that type of package as individuals. You have to play it as a group."
The Ravens' pass rush has been a concern, too. Baltimore ranked 17th in sacks. The Ravens' long-time sackmaster, Terrell Suggs, missed the first six games because he was coming off Achilles tendon surgery. He had just two sacks this year, but has added two in the playoffs. The Ravens' top rusher is Paul Kruger, who had nine sacks in the regular season and has 2.5 in the playoffs.

The Black Eyed Peas, Christina Aguilera and Super Bowl XLV are all front and center in today's B/R Swagger buzz.
This is hardly a surprise, of course, as all three are intertwined in one awesome package. The good news is that we aim to waste as much ink as possible talking about these three things, and any other storylines that come out of the Super Bowl.
The Black Eyed Peas are just about to take a stage for their highly-anticipated halftime show. You can rest assured that there will be plenty to talk about concerning their performance.
Meanwhile, today's action has already given us one memorable performance, as the internet is abuzz with the awful rendition of The Star-Spangled Banner offered up by Christina Aguilera.
(If you for some reason missed out on it altogether, it really was awful. And we'll discuss why.)
In any case, there's plenty more to talk about. If you want to stay up to date on all the latest from Super Bowl XLV, just keep it here and we'll keep you posted.

Your Take: Is Homeownership the American Dream?
|Email Print
My parents came to the United States because it was the land of opportunity. It was a place where you could, on the basis of your abilities and hard work, make a good life for yourself and your family. It isn't a utopia, it's far from it, but it's a lot better than a lot of other places in the world. We still have our issues and our problems but fundamentally the "dream," as I always understood it, was that you could succeed through hard work.
Somewhere along the way the American Dream meant owning a home. I saw it mentioned a bunch of times as the housing markets fell and we stumbled our way into the financial crisis. When did that happen? Is that what most people think of when they see the American Dream?
I know that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were created, in part, to make homeownership easier. If you have someone willing to buy up pretty much any mortgage loan you create, you can continue to make loans and people can continue to buy homes (and then you can see where abuse comes into play). However, I don't think that means that homeownership is the American Dream. It might be part of it, but I don't think it embodies it.
What does the American Dream mean to you? And do you think it's dead? Or just taking a breather?{ 47 comments, please add your thoughts now! }

Child 'Marriage' and Sharia Courts: It Must End Now
There is growing evidence that young children – some as young at 5 years old – are being "married" to older men in Sharia courts across Britain. This is increasingly being sanctioned by the Islamists who run Britain's network of Sharia courts, and there is evidence that this practice is growing.
A recent undercover investigation by the Sunday Times found imams in Britain willing to "marry" young girls, provided this was carried out in secret. The imams had been approached by an undercover reporter posing as a father who said he wanted his 12 year old daughter married, to prevent her from being tempted in to a "western lifestyle".
Earlier this year, it was also reported that at least 30 girls, some as young as 9, were "married" in sharia courts in one London borough alone. Clearly, child "marriages" are an abomination; they are nothing short of religiously-sanctioned child rape and paedophilia.
One important way to tackle this matter is to galvanise support for the Arbitration and Mediation (Equality) Bill introduced to the House of Lords last year by crossbench peer, Baroness Caroline Cox. The Bill is due for a second reading in October.
The Government has so far declined to support Cox's Bill. They do not believe there is a parallel legal system in operation. They also insist that everyone has full right of access to the British courts. This is simply not the case. There are many with little or no English language skills, trapped by community pressure, who believe Sharia courts operate as real courts and who regard their decisions as legally binding. The idea that they can easily instruct a high street solicitor to help them access their full rights under UK law is far from reality.
The Government must be pressured into taking immediate action, including by supporting Cox's Bill, and shutting down Sharia and religious courts. If child welfare takes precedence then the Government is duty-bound to take action.
Sign our new petition in support of Baroness Cox's Bill; tell the Government that enough is enough! Please sign it now.

5 True Stories Behind Iconic Pictures of Badass Women
Someone once said "Well-behaved women seldom make history" immediately before mistakenly attributing the quote to Marilyn Monroe and tattooing it on a calf muscle. Even if you've never heard of the Pulitzer Prize-winning historian who came up with the phrase, history and common sense tell you it's true: Whether you're a man or woman, changing the status quo means getting a little rowdy. Rebellious. Defiant.
Lucky for us, there are a few moments in history when a woman's single act of defiance was captured by a photographer. The stories behind them are just as badass as the pictures.
Paul Viant/Photographer's Choice/Getty Images
This girl didn't make the list.
#5. The Woman Who Isn't Having Your Bayonet
Not today, not ever.
In 1963, Gloria Richardson lived in Cambridge, Maryland, a town so divided that a street called Race Street literally kept blacks on one side and whites on the other. No word on where everyone else lived, but we're guessing it was "Not White Lane" or the alley behind Hooker Town. Even though Cambridge had a terrible record at race relations, it was held up as a model of "separate but (winky eye) equal" to the rest of the country. Which was weird for local African-Americans when they couldn't get hospital care, jobs, or representation in government.
Norbert Schafer/Radius Images/Getty Images
"Whaddya gonna do about it?"
Gloria Richardson led the Cambridge protests to make things right. The thing to remember here is that in 1963, lots of cities around the country were fighting for desegregated restaurants and theaters and tree forts. Participating in a sit-in was as common as changing your Facebook avatar to support favorite causes today, only you were actually leaving the safety of your private home and using your own physical body as the symbol for progress while men with guns arrested and beat you. So it wasn't the same at all, really. Sorry I made the analogy.
What was different about Richardson was that when the white establishment reached out to her to find a nice, safe middle ground between the blacks and the whites, she said "No thanks" and kept going with the protests. Robert "Effing" Kennedy himself summoned her to the White House to hash things out with white leaders of the town, and she ended up refusing to vote on the proposal they wrote together. Basic rights weren't up for a vote, in her eyes. What's next, voting on whether or not people could marry? Crazy, right? She put it this way:
"A first-class citizen does not plead to the white power structure to give him something that the whites have no power to give or take away. Human rights are human rights, not white rights."
Long story short, the protests continued and the National Guard/Bayonet Brigade was deployed to Cambridge. And that's when we got this picture of Richardson treating Fatty Buttbuckle's bayonet like it's got an invisible dirty diaper at the end of it, and she's the only one who can see it.
Worst superpower ever.
#4. The Women Who Took "Stoic" to the Next Level
Today, when you see a woman with a shaved head, you know she's spunky and self-reliant, or that she's got a juicy role in a potentially Oscar-nominated movie, or that she's about to start chemo. If you saw a French woman with a shaved head in the 1940s, something was terribly wrong. Specifically, she was in a concentration camp, or she had an affair with a Nazi soldier and her countrymen have punished her for her love crimes.
Ironically, none of the hair was donated to Locks of Love.
What do you get when you put mental trauma, mob mentality, and female sexuality in a room and shake them up? You get the Shorn Women of France, who were forcibly shaved and paraded around towns as punishment for doing the nasty with Nazis. The parades were known as ugly carnivals, which is a pretty good name if you're looking at the jeering, maniacal faces in the crowds.
Lucky for her, no one remembered where the old guillotine was stashed.
It didn't matter if the woman was a prostitute who was just getting by during the war or a stupid teenager who fell in love with the wrong Rolfe or ladies who liked the danger of messing around with the enemy. Once the Germans left town, the collaborators were left with nothing but memories, a French mob, and, every now and then, a baby. Eventually, about 20,000 women were subjected to the humiliation of the head shave parade.
Robert Capa/Royal Academy of Art
"And a good time was had by all!"
It's not until you put yourself in their shoes that you appreciate the defiance it took to make that walk without breaking down. True, there are pictures of women crying as their heads are shaved, others with downcast eyes accepting their fate, trying to put their minds in another place as the minutes pass and the ordeal is over. Then there are other women who look right at the camera, as if saying to future generations, "Can you believe this shit?"
#3. The Woman Who Brought Glamour to a War Zone
Oh wow, check out this sophisticated dame hanging out in the potato sack district of Sarajevo. Is that 1960s era Sophia Loren on her way to a Vogue Italia photo shoot? Or maybe a queen trying to go incognito among the people and failing miserably? You could walk into a thousand potato sack districts and never find one woman with half the sophistication and elegance of this lady.
My bad. I forgot to show you the rest of the picture.
This is Meliha Varesanovic, and she's not going to high tea with the queen, she's going to work. It just so happens that she's working in Sarajevo in 1995, during the longest siege of a capital city in modern history. For over four years, Bosnians were trapped by a force of approximately 13,000 Serbian soldiers who wanted to claim the city for a new independent Serbia. And the best way to do that, in their eyes, was to starve the Bosnians out. But starving took fooooorrreeeeverrr, so the Serbian army hurried the process of depopulating the town by shelling crowded areas and shooting at civilians, one by one. For years, Bosnians couldn't get from one place to another without worrying about hidden snipers shooting at them from buildings. Running errands was like living out the single-shot battle sequence in Children of Men.
BIRN Archive
"Watch out! Sniper! Not a joke sign!"
So how do you counter bombs, psychological torture, actual torture, and trained, hidden gunmen when you're just a regular person trying to live your life? How do you cleave to normalcy when your world has turned to hell? For Meliha Varesanovic, the answer was putting on her lipstick, heels, and pearls, holding her head high, and walking to work day after day like the Serbian army didn't exist. She's looking past the guard who's holding her town hostage like he's not even there. Like he's nothing. You can scream slurs, you can give dirty looks, you can choose to walk on the other side of the street, but nothing is more powerful and insulting than acting like someone doesn't exist. Especially if that person can kill you on a whim and you both know it. The man who took this picture of Varesanovic described her message as a very simple "You will never defeat us."
Twenty years later, he went back to Sarajevo and found Varesanovic again. She was still as classy as ever:

Just one more way technology is improving people's lives was demonstrated recently in a Crestview kindergarten classroom.
Dan Hill, special education director, explained to the school board Wednesday that a health issue had kept a kindergarten student out for three weeks. The school followed its usual protocol, sending a home instructor to help keep the student caught up with his peers. The problem was, the student was missing out on the socialization of being with other students.
Utilizing Skype, district technologies coordinator Darryl Miller was able to hook the student up through a computer right into his classroom. He was able to interact with the teacher and the students.
"It was one more instances where the staff stepped up to make a youngster feel part of the class," Hill said, adding if he could not come to school it was a way of taking the school to the child.
Hill said Miller still has some additional ideas to improve the experience for the child for whatever time he must be away from his classroom.
Board member John Garwood called what they did "huge," noting things have improved vastly from 11 years ago when a student forced to stay home with an illness could only send an e-mail to their teacher.
In another technology advancement, those with smart phones can now use a mobile-friendly version of the school's website. Although it does not have all the bells and whistles of the regular website, it is easier to see from a smart phone screen. It still provides the basic information such as upcoming events, announcements and the lunch menu. Miller said he is still improving the mobile site, which became available just this week.
In other matters before the board:
- The board approved pay rates for those assisting at athletic events and appointed people to several of the paid positions. The board also approved two people, Andris Baltputnis and Jess Leon as volunteer announcers.
- Maintenance supervisor Jay Radman said the district operates on two deep water wells, but one is not producing well. He suggested in the spring or summer it may be something the board will have to address.
- A mother questioned the board about the school's policy regarding her son's injury. The boy reportedly broke his hand, but remained at school for the day until he went home. The mother questioned why she was not called about his injury. It was not apparent whether teachers or others at the school knew the hand was broken.
- Amber Biser and Austin Eskra were named high school students of the month.
- The next meeting of the board will be held at 7 p.m. on Monday, Jan. 14, with the annual budget hearing starting at 6:30 p.m. The board will reorganize for the year at 7 p.m., just prior to the regular meeting.

LEWISTOWN -Black Friday has concluded and people were lined up outside plenty of local businesses to get deals and start holiday shopping.
The JCPenney located at 224 N. Logan Blvd., Burnham, had an estimated 200 people in line to get Black Friday deals.
"We had a huge line," store manager Jim Grant said. "We had people from our door all the way to the Weis store."
Grant said the items that were purchased a lot and early were women's scarves, men's jeans, men's flannels and pillows.
"We definitely had more traffic this year. We had long lines consistently through the day," Grant said.
Grant said they had a button promotion this year that will extend through Dec. 24. Two buttons will be given to each customer for entering the store along with a card to give directions to the website.
JCPenney is giving away 100 free vacations to different cities in the U.S., jewelry and gift cards. Customers must enter the code from the button on JCPenney's website in order to have a chance to win.
Managers from Walmart, Lowe's, Tractor Supply Company and Bon-Ton were not able to speak to a reporter without talking with their corporate office first.
A member of the Mifflin County Commons Kmart management team, who did not want to be named, said that they had more than 100 people waiting in line Thursday morning and less than 100 people Friday morning. She said the people in line were respectful of each other. Kmart held a 3-day sale which started Thursday and ends today. Electronics were the hot commodity and were off the shelves fast. Kmart did have some issues which hurt sales because one of the registers could not read some of the Rewards credit cards.

Medicinal Genomics announced sequencing the entire genomes of the cannabis species Cannabis sativa and Cannabis indica, equating to some 131 billion base pairs of genetic data. Initial results have reportedly posted on Amazon's EC2 public cloud computing service, but the firm says it plans to release raw sequencing data and full genome annotations for the Cannabis indica genome later this year.
Medicinal Genomics maintains the sequencing data will help accelerate ongoing and new research into the therapeutic benefit of Cannabis, help identify nonpsychoactive therapeutic compounds made by the plant, and elucidate biochemical and enzyme pathways that could make Cannabis-derived compounds easier to produce.
The C. sativa sequencing was carried out using a short-read next-generation sequencing technology. However, the results demonstrated that this approach wasn't going to provide a clear enough picture of the genome to identify important biological pathways. It became apparent that the different Cannabis strains can demonstrate a genomic variation as high as 1%, comments Kevin McKernan, founder and head of scientific operations.
"This realization caused somewhat of a paradigm shift in the way we approached this project. At this point we moved to triple backcrossed cultivars and longer read technology." To this end, the C. indica sequencing project was carried out using Roche's GS FLX+ instrumentation, which enabled the researchers to obtain a roughly 18x genome coverage with the 700–800 bp long reads.
"With the long reads we can sort out the variation in the strain and phase alleles so that we can make biological sense of the sequencing data," Dr. McKernan adds. "We can assemble some key synthase genes into much longer phased blocks, allowing us to focus more on the biology and less on the computational concerns."
U.K.'s GW Pharm is probably the most well-recognized name in cannabinoid therapeutics research. The firm's Sativex® oromucosal cannabinoid spray has been approved in countries including the U.K., Canada, New Zealand, and Spain as an add-on treatment for improving the symptoms of spasticity in multiple sclerosis patients who have not responded adequately to other antispasticity medications. Over the last few months the drug has also been approved and/or launched in the Czech Republic, Germany, and Denmark.
Meanwhile Phase III trials in patients with cancer pain are ongoing along with earlier-stage clinical trials evaluating cannabinoid medicines for indications including neropathic pain, diabetes, and metabolic syndromes, as well as inflammation. Preclinical development in fields spanning cancer therapy, epilepsy, and psychiatric disorders is also in progress.
A second international Phase III cancer pain study, initiated in June, is being carried out in collaboration with Otsuka, GW Pharm's U.S. commercialization partner for Sativex. The cancer pain indication will represent the partners' initial indication for Sativex in the U.S. market.
In April Novartis paid GW Pharm $5 million up front and could make another $28.75 million in milestone payments as part of an exclusive licensing deal for commercialization of Sativex in Australia, New Zealand, Asia (excluding Japan, China, and Hong Kong), Africa, and the Middle East (excluding Israel and Palestine). GW Pharm had previously licensed the drug to Otsuka Pharmaceutical for the U.S., Almirall for Europe (excluding the U.K.), Bayer HealthCare in the U.K. and Canada, and Neopharm in Israel and Palestine.
GW Pharm says it has developed an extensive international network of scientists in relevant fields and in 2007 expanded its early cannabinoid research through a global research agreement with Otsuka. The partners are working primarily on cannabinoids as potential treatments for CNS disorders and oncology, which complements GW Pharm's in-house program in type 2 diabetes and related metabolic disorders. As part of this in-house program, GW Pharm established the GW Metabolic Research Laboratory at the University of Buckingham in 2009.

Kim Scanlon, one of the Seattle acoustic music scene's most popular vocalists, makes her solo debut with Nightsongs & Lullabies. Scanlon has gained respect as a powerful interpreter of songs from all genres, including her favorites - vintage pop and jazz - which form the basis of Nightsongs & Lullabies. Scanlon recorded the album while pregnant with her first child and the direction of the music was shaped by her experience with first-time motherhood and interest in creating a recording that parents and children could share.
Nightsongs & Lullabies is a complex yet soothing album, much different than most children's albums. Scanlon recalls, "When I became pregnant, I decided to make an album as a kind of farewell to my more free-wheeling days. I've listened to a lot of children's CDs and found many of them to be high & sparkly -- as if children can't take texture or deep sounds. The opposite of course is true. Children learn about the world by listening to the music of their parents' voices. They are tonal sophisticates from day one."
The album contains a wonderfully cohesive collection of classic songs from the American songbook, covering repertoire by some of America's most beloved 20th century songwriters including Duke Ellington, Johnny Mercer, Harold Arlen and James Taylor. The songs themselves share strong melodic qualities and a playful tone and create the perfect vehicle for Scanlon's warm, clear and limber soprano vocals. She explains, "To me Nightsongs & Lullabies is for the young and old. The sound is old yet new and fresh and the music is elegant and playful yet joyous and intimate." Guest musicians on the album include West Coast luminaries Rebecca Kilgore (vocals), Nina Gerber and Scott Nygaard (guitar), Bob Brozman (steel guitar), John R. Burr (piano) and producer Cary Black (bass).
Scanlon's career as a vocalist began at an early age; as a child, she was active in the church choir. She has been a fixture in the Seattle acoustic music scene since the 80s, working with a variety of groups including Slow Learner (with Jo Miller and guitarist Scott Nygaard) and the nationally acclaimed alternative country group Ranch Romance. Much in demand as a harmony vocalist, Scanlon was a member of the house band on the nationally syndicated NPR radio show Sandy Bradley's Potluck and has performed and recorded with a variety of other artists and groups including Uncle Bonsai, Kathy Mattea, Pete Seeger, Rumors of the Big Wave, Kathy Kallick, Laurie Lewis, Ferron and The Laura Love Band.

Comments: Best shoulder pads on the market to date. I have tried all the top end pads and even the lower end sherwoods and these still offer the best mobility. These are extremely light and hold up well. These don't offer tons of protection, mainly around the ribs, but I like to have free range of motion and see over my shoulders without some massive shoulder cap in the way.
From: Travis, VA
Comments: Great pads! Originally had Bauer Supreme One75's. The U+12's are way less bulky, provide better flexibility and movement and are also light weight. I play no check so can't speak to impact protection with the exception of some inadvertent collisions that some time occur. If you are looking for a low profile pad then I would definitely recommend them. Nice job CCM
From: Dave, IL
Comments: Comments:These are really comfortable and light. They aren't the most protective, obviously, but they work just fine for me. I'm a Bantam. I would really recommend these, they are worth the money.

LOCKPORT – A Niagara County Court jury will decide Friday whether Matthew A. Davis is responsible for the death of a Niagara Falls man who died after being beaten in a robbery at his apartment last year.
In closing arguments Thursday, the defense argued that the manner of Antoine M. Bradberry's death is uncertain and that any injuries he suffered in the robbery didn't cause it. The prosecution replied that the law says Bradberry's pre-existing conditions are irrelevant if the jury finds that the intruder's actions contributed to his death.
Bradberry, 41, suffered numerous injuries, including a broken jaw and nose, in the Aug. 22, 2011 attack in his residence at the Jefferson Apartments on Rainbow Boulevard in Niagara Falls.
Davis, 37, of Pierce Avenue in the Falls, is charged with second-degree murder under the "felony murder" statute that covers causing a victim's death while committing another felony, in this case first-degree burglary and first-degree robbery. He is not charged with intentional killing.
On Friday, , the jury of nine men and three women also will have the option of convicting Davis of less serious burglary and robbery charges.
Defense attorney Phillip Dabney Jr. denied that Davis was the man caught on surveillance video going in and out of the apartment building, mostly with a white T-shirt over his face.
Assistant District Attorney Brian D. Seaman spent 20 minutes of his summation switching back and forth between cellphone records and video clips to try to prove that Davis was the man seen in the video because his phone wasn't in use at times when the video showed he was allegedly in the apartment building.
"My client Matthew had no part in this," Dabney told the jury. He said the only person who can place him at the scene is co-defendant Teara D. Fatico, who pleaded guilty to attempted first-degree burglary and is serving 13 years in prison.
Fatico testified that she was having an affair with the married Davis, and that Davis became upset when Bradberry sent her a Facebook message asking to meet her.
She said Davis directed her to go to Bradberry's apartment and see if there was anything worth stealing. Davis enlisted her friend Chastity L. Wilson, a professional stripper, to come along and help out.
Wilson received the same plea deal and sentence as Fatico but refused to testify against Davis.
Dabney said there was about a pound of marijuana in the apartment, which was stolen. He told the jury, "I'll leave it to you to decide if that's for personal use. I submit stress is going to be an occupational hazard for Mr. Bradberry."
An autopsy said Bradberry died of hypertensive cardiovascular disease, caused by obesity. Dr. Dianne R. Vertes, Erie County's chief medical examiner, said Bradberry's injuries in the fight were an indirect factor in his death.
Assistant District Attorney Brian D. Seaman told the jury that County Judge Matthew J. Murphy III will instruct them that "it does not matter if there was a pre-existing medical condition." He said the jury can convict Davis if it believes he injured Bradberry and that the injuries contributed to his death.
Dabney said, "It is the unfortunate conclusion it was his time, due to his disease."
Seaman replied, "Dr. Vertes told you that were it not for this prolonged, violent struggle, Antoine Bradberry would not have died that day."

TRUCKEE - Whatever Geoff Stephens told his Truckee girls basketball team at halftime, it worked.
The Wolverines fell behind early in their Mount Rose League opener against visiting Incline, trailing 11-4 in the opening minutes and by as many as 13 points late in the second quarter.
Truckee reversed its fortune in the third quarter, however, picking up its intensity to take over the lead with a 13-0 run and never look back en route to a 48-41 win.
"We did a lot of soul-searching at the half," said Stephens, who changed his defense from zone to man and applied an aggressive full-court press. "I asked them, 'Can you beat them? Yeah, well how do you want to do it?'"
Aside from their full-court press, which caused problems for Incline ball handlers, the Wolverines began taking, and hitting, shots from the perimeter against the Highlanders' zone defense.
Senior guard Ashley Harris began the third-quarter with a 3-point swish to set the tone. After three free throws by the Highlanders extended their lead to 30-19, Truckee began its run.
Jackie Bolton drained a midrange jumper and Sydnie English followed with an offensive rebound and putback. Katey Hamill, English and Bolton scored the next six points on outside shots, and English capped the 13-point rally with an old-fashioned three-point play after a steal and foul.
"Obviously we started hitting our outside shots, but our press also worked, and the girls played hard," Stephens said. "We were kind of going through the motions in the first half. But we can be good when we play hard. I was proud of our second half."
The visitors came out with a hot shooting hand as Molly Franklin and Kortney Solis connected from the perimeter and Kerrie Tonking slashed to the bucket for hard-earned points, all while Truckee struggled to score on the other end.
The Highlanders increased their lead to the largest margin of the night, 27-14, in the final minute of the half. They led 27-16 at the break after Bolton put back an offensive rebound before the buzzer.
From that point on, the Wolverines outscored the Highlanders 32-14 on their way to the win.
"I think part of it is we ran out of gas," said Incline coach Wayne Nash, describing the difference between the first and second halves. "And then we quit running our stuff."
English led the Wolverines with 16 points, while Hamill finished with 10 points and five assists, and Bolton 10 points and 11 rebounds.
Truckee improved to 8-7 overall and Incline fell to 8-8.
They say defense wins championships.
First-year Incline boys basketball coach Tim Kelly has his team believing it.
The visiting Highlanders frustrated Truckee with a scrappy defensive effort that often led to easy offense en route a 61-38 win in both teams' Mount Rose League opener Thursday night.
"We wanted to make sure to defend our tails off and make it hard for them to score," Kelly said. "Our league mentality started January 2. We want complete focus, and we want to be the best team we can be and play as hard as we can possibly play."
The coach had no complaints Thursday.
Led by junior point guard Orin Porter, who finished with a game-high 30 points and 15 rebounds, the Highlanders harassed Truckee ball handlers with aggressive pressure defense that they mixed up on every possession.
If the Wolverines did manage to get the ball past their end of the floor without a forced turnover, they were met with an equally aggressive half-court defense - also changed up throughout the contest - that prevented the hosts from running any kind of offense.
"We just couldn't make a shot, and when you can't make a shot your confidence goes down," said Truckee coach Patrick Irvin. "We failed to really run any offense, and when we did get a good look, we couldn't hit."
While every Incline player contributed to the shut-down defensive performance - they had 16 steals in the game - Porter put on a show offensively.
The smooth-flowing guard hit a 3-pointer to open the game and scored the Highlanders' first seven points as they jumped out to a 7-1 lead. Porter went on to score 12 points in the second quarter and had 21 by the half. He also had four steals, along with teammate Drew Bessette, and dished out five assists.
"I was impressed with their execution of their offense," Irvin said. "They're a well-coached team. That number 20 (Porter) is a special player."
The Highlanders kept their foot on the throttle after the half, holding the Wolverines to only two points in the third quarter. With the game already in hand, Incline outscored Truckee 16-15 in the fourth quarter to seal the win.
"We wanted to dictate how the game was played, and the guys really stepped up and made that happen," Kelly said.
Senior point guard Graham Millie led Truckee with 13 points, as he heated up late to score nine in the fourth quarter, while Adam Morgan and David Burnham each scored six, and Kyle Mello had five.
Senior guard Rob Rubsamen scored nine points for the Highlanders. Jack Clouthier scored six points on two 3-pointers, and Tommy Thompson and Jared Skowronski each scored five.
Truckee is now 6-8 overall and Incline is 8-7.
UP NEXT: Truckee plays at North Tahoe on Friday, girls at 6 p.m. and boys at 7:30.

A punch aimed directly into someones eye with the aim of blinding them or knocking their eye out. Therefore leading them to wear an eyepatch or a glass eye - very piratey.
I gave a lethal Pirate Punch to Robbie, knocking him off the fort yesterday, he landed on a sharp stick which penetrated his entire body so i don't think his blindness of one eye mattered.
