Michigan issued a press release on this year's edition of NBA Draft Russian Roulette:
Michigan issued a press release on this year's edition of NBA Draft Russian Roulette:
It happened in the national title game. It actually happened twice: a screen of ref butts huddled over a monitor, poring over frame-by-frame replays of a routine, uncontroversial basketball play. Once they let the routine, uncontroversial basketball play stand. Once they said this was not Texas Tech basketball:
This clip is even better. Guy fouls Moretti and they overturn the out of bounds call. ?♀? #gamechanger pic.twitter.com/I4oPCLKIRu
— Karen Gregory (@karen_gregory) April 9, 2019
Michigan fans everywhere exclaimed I KNEW IT to normies around them, descending into paranoid spittle-flecked rants met with either polite incomprehension or, in certain cases, the nearest human saying "blarp" and falling over because they are drunk and/or an infant.
[After THE JUMP: blarp *falls over*]

Michigan historian Dr. Sap and I have started a new podcast on the lore of Michigan football. For this one we got two members of the '64 team, starting defensive tackle John Yanz, and backup receiver Tom Parkhill.
It is sponsored by HomeSure Lending. If you're buying or refinancing your home, this is the guy to talk to. He'll work on your loan directly and walk you through a process that can get really confusing really fast. Stop by his new office in Ann Arbor at 2100 S. Main.

The world of college football in 1964. 1962 was so bad they needed a banner to feel better. 1963 was better but didn't look like it. And then everything came together while the greater college football world was turning the game into a battleground for the Civil Rights Movement.
(starts at 19:14)
We talk to starting defensive tackle John Yanz about who these guys were. The first truly platooned Michigan team (where the defense didn't even learn the offense's plays). They came from Ohio and Chicago, mostly—recruits who signed on for Bump Elliott's rebuild of the flagging Oosterbaan program. Also a discussion on TV money, the NFL, and the Civil Rights Movement, and how these factors were all changing the college football landscape.
Here's the Daily article Yanz mentioned.
(starts at 1:11:55)
Parky was a deep bench offensive end (wide receiver) who got to sit in the booth with Bob Ufer for a game. A third of the team was from Ohio, including the entire starting backfield. Season begins by losing their best player, Jack Clancy, who's the oddball 1,000-yard receiver 40 years before Braylon in this chart:
The games:
End of the season: Alabama and Notre Dame claim fake national championships because they were undefeated until they lost their bowl games. Heisman went to ND's quarterback (who wasn't the least deserving Heisman ever). SEC fans think it should have gone to Namath even though the All-American first teamer was Timberlake and Huarte (the ND guy) was better that year. Our votes: Michigan is 2nd to Arkansas, Butkus is the Heisman.
(starts at 2:25:52)
One inch from perfection: where do they fit in the great Michigan teams in history? MVPs of offense and defense. Bob Timberlake as the guy we want Dylan McCaffrey to become. Jim Conley/Jim Harbaugh throwdown.
We're going to have to throw out a parental advisory because there's no way to quote Jim Conley without f-bombing U.S. 23 from one end to the other.
in which Items are Gleaned from an unpadded practice?
Wonder which guy with the smooth offensive skillset is the one Harbaugh said came out of the womb ready to penetrate the backfield and get after?the quarterback
don't google "Andrew Yang memes"?
Ben VanSumeren is the only scholarship back not injured right now and this is fine.

Achievements this week
Heroic Scenarios
People used to wonder what the point of scenarios was. I liked them - group quests that you can do with 3 people without a tank and a healer with a little bit of valour as a reward, and a whole lot of achievements to entice you into doing them. They were also great ways to get some lore across or gap filling that couldn't be done in quests, I thought!
Heroic Scenarios are actually quite fun and has made people do them again. There are even little challenges in them for bonus valour that makes you want to actually try harder - I would often half ass my scenarios but in a heroic I actually have to pay attention! The bummy thing is that you need a preformed group to do them and can't random them - I wonder if this is the way to make people group up again, bring some cohesiveness back into this game which has been relying more and more on random groups of people getting together to do content. Luxy, Moo and Lush were nice enough to do them with me!
Heroic: A Brewing Storm was the first one I tried. It wasn't too bad - made us want to try more! Those addictive little achievements popping up...
Heroic Blood in the Snow was a totally new one and boy did Luxy and Lush die.. A LOT! I probably didn't help with me butt-pulling mobs everywhere. However, we managed to get a few achievements in there. There's this one for not letting the final boss get any heals off.
And this one for picking up all the healing baskets in the instance. That was a nice easy one that you can do after you've finished the instance.
The next one I did was the Dark Heart of Pandaria, where we all got turned into goblins. I look hideous as a goblin with my gear LOL!
Heroic Crypt of Forgotten Kings is very similar to the normal and WOAH those traps really hurt now!
Came back to do it on normal with Arv and Luxy.
Battle on the High Seas had some hilarious hiccups. Fighting waves of Alliance boarding parties, dodging cannonfire and then... getting from ship to ship. So we thought you had to click the ladder to get on the ships, which meant swimming from ship to ship. I made it but Moo and Lush got eaten by sharks which basically one shot them! We tried it again, and same thing - I lived again! Then we figured it out you use cannons and ropes to get across!! And its actually pretty cool.
Came back on normal and got the achievement for not getting hit by any cannon fire. I stuffed it up the first time at the end and got hit by cannon fire but we did it again and got it.
New Battleground: Deepwind Gorge
There are a ton of achievements there, and some are not too difficult. This one is a bit stupid... too easy! Luxy told me to go jump off the mountain, literally!
And perfection is surprisingly easy when you can steal the other team's resources!
I got this when I was dead. I was in the graveyard next to our base and Shab and Luxy killed the guy who tried to steal the cart. Hey, I'm not complaining about free achievements! That BG was quite funny actually, I had queued with Shab and Arv, and Luxy just happened to be in the same BG!
Lore: Darkspear Revolutionary
This achievement has so much involved in it, I reckon it deserves it's own post later! But I don't want to make spoilers for people just yet...
Dungoen Achievements
Did the ones in Shado-pan Monastery. Aza tanked on his lock and I healed. Tacky, Luxy and Zwingli were with us. I finally managed to bow to all those acolytes! I wasn't sure I was going to get it...
Letting the Sha out wasn't hard (it's off to the side near the Big bad Sha). I don't know why I hadn't done it earlier!
And this is easy with enough DPS. You can pray once, at the beginning but at the end just let everyone get to 100%.
Now THAT, was an awesome week for achievements! Wonder how next week will be? I'm sure there willl still be a few more to get!

Because the stars and constellations in the night sky revolve around the North Star, it has been considered the center of the cosmos for many ancient cultures. And those constellations near the North Star often hold a special place in their cosmology. For the Navajo, for instance, the two neighboring constellations and the North Star form a unit.
The Navajo call the unit Nahookos (Na hoe kos). The North Star is Nahookos Bikq (Na hoe kos Bih kwo), which means "Central Fire". Picture a Navajo hogan with the hearth in the center of the room. Sitting next to the fire would be the father and mother (or grandfather and grandmother). Likewise, next to the Nahookos Bikq are the constellations Nahookos Bika (Na hoe kos Bih kah) which means "Revolving Male" and Nahookos Bi'aad (Na hoe kos Bih aad) which means "Revolving Female".
The position of the Nahookos group enabled the Navajo astronomers to predict the seasons just by checking the position of Nahookos Bika in relation to Nahookos Bikq every night at the same time. If the three stars that make up what we now call the "handle" of the "Big Dipper" are pointing up, then it was summer. When the handle was pointing down, it was winter. When Nahookos Bika was above Nahookos Bikq it was spring, and when it was below it was autumn.
Nancy C. Maryboy and David Begay [Sharing the Skies] describe the constellation as follows:
"Nahookos Bika … is considered to be a male warrior, a leader and father, and sometimes a grandfather, who provides for his family. He protects his family with weapons such as the bow and arrow. He reflects the ideal characteristics of a provider and protector for his family, people, and home.
|Nahookos Bika and Nahookos Bi'aad
"Nahookos Bi'aad … is considered to be a mother, and sometimes a grandmother, who exemplifies strength, motherhood, and regeneration. She reflects the ideal characteristics of stability and peace in the home. She also provides for her family through her female weapons of a grinding stone and stirring stick, used to fight off hunger and ensure good nutrition and a healthy lifestyle for her family."
Nahookos Bi'aad is the constellation we call Casseopeia today.
Tribes that lived below the 34th parallel, saw a different phenomenon—the Big Dipper drops below the horizon as it revolves below the North Star. This prompted an interesting story by a tribe living in Alabama. Here is an excerpt from "The Celestial Canoe", from the book "They Dance in the Sky" by Jean Guard Monroe and Ray A. Williamson:
" Back in the days when stars were people, they could travel back and forth between the earth and sky. Some of these sky people regularly came down to earth in a canoe. While on earth, they played a ball game on a large, grassy field and then, when they were finished, they went back to their canoe, began singing, and rose to the sky.
"One time, as the sky people played on earth, a man was hiding nearby … when a beautiful sky woman ran after the ball, he leaped from his hiding place and grabbed her. Frightened by the man, the other players jumped in their canoe, started singing, and returned to the sky. The man took the beautiful woman home and married her. In time, they had two children.
"After several years the mother became homesick for the sky and soon devised a plan to return. She told her children to ask their father to go hunting and bring home meat to eat … and their father set off to hunt.
[but the first time they were unsuccessful]
"In the weeks that followed, the woman made another canoe, a small one, and put it in a safe hiding place. Before long, her husband went out hunting again. The woman got in one canoe and put her children in the little one. She began singing and they all started to rise. The father again ran back, but this time he managed to stop only the little canoe with his children.
"The children missed their mother very much and begged their father to let them follow her. He gave in finally, and they all got in a canoe, sang, and began to rise just as she had."
From the beginning of time, the beautiful patterns of stars in the sky have stirred man's imagination. I know how much I enjoy showing my children and grandchildren the wonders of the sky. I'm sure it has been the same for fathers and grandfathers over the ages.

Google Nexus 6 Smartphone Features Quad-HD and Android 5.0 Lollipop OS
It's the biggest Nexus smartphone coming from Google so far with its 5.9-inch QuadHD display, that boasts a total resolution of 2560x1440 pixels. The same resolution found on Note 4 and LG G3. Pixels per inch is equivalent to 493, this device should provide a super vivid, bright and clear display even though it has a massive display.

Also on the back side is a 13MP camera with image stabilization feature to help users with their photos less shaky when captured. The rear camera is also equipped with a f/2.0 aperture and dual-LED flash and then on the front side is a 2MP lens, which I think is a little small for a device like this.
The usual connectivity options are also on board and that includes LTE, WiFi, Bluetooth and many others. Inside the back panel is a 3,220mAh battery which can be charged wirelessly and is with a Turbo Charger technology that Google said can charge back up to 6 hours of the life in just 15 minutes.

Summer fashion is so much fun. Not only does one have the option of trying all sorts of colours, but this is a time when all the dresses and the short skirts can come out of the closet. But as trends change with each season, it is easy to fall behind. The bigger problem arises when you don't know what to buy for the summer season with so many designs and brands available in the market.
Fashion Stylist and Consultant Nidhi Sharma will help you overcome the challenge and dress up in the HOTTEST trends this summer. Read on…
find more information rocky mountain singles speed dating citas en linea bcr corpus christi texas dating affairs learn the facts here now mujer busca hombre separado rencontre homme femme catholique Going Here http://bossons-fute.fr/?fimerois=rencontre-%C3%A0-elizabethtown-vk&c4a=60 siti consigliati per opzioni binarie Tell me about yourself and your career so far, how did you become a fashion stylist?
I used to be a fashion writer and assistant and I grew around fashion. I was attracted to styling naturally as I started experimenting while assisting renowned fashion stylists during fashion shoots at the time. Having studied about textiles, and fabrics in college all this came easily to me. I also got a styling diploma from National Institute of Fashion Technology in the interim.
My career so far has been a journey of travel, experiences and lessons learnt.
Do you focus on trends or the personal style of your clients? Where do you get your inspiration from?
I do follow trends as it is important for my job. But more importantly I like being a personal shopper and stylist for real life people. Rather than focusing on trends all the time I try finding some point of authentic inspiration or connection to who I'm styling . I pay close attention to the contemporary art world for inspiration.
How important is personal style to you when you are styling someone? How do you choose what looks work for each individual client?
I usually like to do some research on my client. I get a feel for their personal style and what they have in their closets. Then, I like to have a meeting with them and discuss the project and direction.
I usually take into account a person's body shape, season and trends, making sure that I am feeling which will make my work standout and my client happy. Even when I am shopping or pulling for a client I like to hold the pieces up in front of a mirror, or even try them on to get a feel for it. Many things can look awful on a hanger and fabulous on the body.
What is the biggest misconception people not working in your field have about your job?
Oh Man! People often think that all I do is shop. There is a lot more to it – accounting, budgeting, mood boards, scheduling, inventory, emails, and meetings. And that's just the tip of the iceberg.
Finally let's take your expert advice on styling for the season. What colours would work in a summer wardrobe?
Opt for bright colours. Play candy crush with pastel shades this summer! Also, This season you can add up a hint of indigo.
What are the bare essentials in a summer wardrobe? What trends do you think people should ditch this summer?
I would include several things in the summer wardrobe basic list. The first thing to buy is a a perfect summer dress. A dress in the most summery colours can brighten up the dullest of days. Also, the classic blue jeans never goes out of fashion. It can be paired with T-shirts, shirts and even kurtis. Try out some new styles – like the distress jeans or double toned high-waist jeans.
Don't forget to team it all up with a bold colorful handbag will bring life to any basic summer outfit. Go for light weight open sandals so that your foot can breathes easy.
For personal styling needs you can get in touch with Nidhi Sharma on her Facebook Page.

Two things came together this morning.
First of all, I thought about last night's "American Idol" (a show that, yes, has hooked me) where the one true artist, Chris, was voted off the show. The remaining singers are telegenic in various ways, certainly entertaining, and somewhere above serviceable. And so I watch and am entertained. But the remaining three are not artists. So goes the wisdom of America's voting...
#2: I've been listening to the greatest (yes, arguably the greatest) pop songwriters of the past three decades, Steely Dan. This morning I was brought back to their masterpiece, Aja, which features exquisite lyrics, astonishing arrangement, and superb musicianship. I wondered why I'm hearing less of this as the 21st century marches on.
Then It struck me: American increasing idolizes mediocrity done well. That's essentially the logic of the franchise. We are the land of McDonalds and Gap--nothing exceptional, but "good enough," done consistently, and with enough hook to bring us back. We're a country that has produced (and now exported) Starbucks, a juggernaut that has managed to turn coffee (one of the finest beverages on the planet) into impossibly sweet, frothy drinks with simply the whiff of espresso. And, all too frequently, I find myself buying a cappuccino with the greeny mermaid on the cup.
So I realized that America idolizes mediocrity done well. We love a really good Everyman/Everywoman, but not someone exceptionally artistic or really exceptional in any way.
Something hit me last night on "American Idol": the "idols" (now that title's got to put fear into our hearts) went to Graceland. I began to think about that fact. If the "Idol' ballots had made the decision, Elvis never would have been a star. (I'm saying this without any particular love for Elvis.) Moreover, Donald Fagen and Walter Becker (of Steely Dan) never would have made their peerless recordings. We never would have heard the jazz greats, Steve Gadd (drums) and Wayne Shortter (sax), both soloing on "Aja" if it came down to who many textmessaged their votes on their Cingular phones. The same is probably true for the Beatles or U2. I could go on.
And finally, #3 (out of two): "The Da Vinci Code" strikes me as one more idol of mediocrity. Does it really deserve the title of the best selling book of all time? I'd be interested to know what you think.

Aims Of Urban Rebranding
Rebranding is a marketing strategy in which a new name, term, symbol, design, or combination therefor is created for an established brand with the intention of developing a new, differentiated identity in the minds of consumers, investors, and competitors.
Case Study: London Docklands
London Docklands were originally built and managed by a number of competing private companies. Then in 1909 these companies were amalgamated by the Port of London Authority (PLA) in a bid to make the docks more efficient and improve labour relations. The PLA constructed the last of the docks, the King George V, in 1921, as well as greatly expanding the Tilbury docks.
During WW2 German bombing caused massive damage to the docks and so once the war ended the rebuilding they experienced a resurgence of prosperity in the 1950s. The end came suddenly, between approximately 1960 and 1970, when the shipping industry adopted the newly invented container system of cargo transportation. London's docks were unable to accommodate the much larger vessels needed by containerization and the shipping industry moved to deep-water ports such as Tilbury and Felixstowe. Between 1960 and 1980, all of London's docks were closed, leaving around eight square miles (21 km²) of derelict land in East London. Unemployment was high, and poverty and other social problems were rife.
Efforts to redevelop the docks began almost as soon as they were closed, although it took a decade for most plans to move beyond the drawing board and another decade for redevelopment to take full effect. The situation was greatly complicated by the large number of landowners involved: the PLA, the Greater London Council (GLC), the British Gas Corporation, five borough councils, British Rail and the Central Electricity Generating Board.
To address this problem, in 1981 the Secretary of State for the Environment, Michael Heseltine, formed the London Docklands Development Corporation (LDDC) to redevelop the area. This was a statutory body appointed and funded by central government (a quango), with wide powers to acquire and dispose of land in the Docklands. It also served as the development planning authority for the area.
Another important government intervention was the designation in 1982 of an enterprise zone, an area in which businesses were exempt from property taxes and had other incentives, including simplified planning and capital allowances. This made investing in the Docklands a significantly more attractive proposition and was instrumental in starting a property boom in the area.
The massive development programme managed by the LDDC during the 1980s and 1990s saw a huge area of the Docklands converted into a mixture of residential, commercial and light industrial space. The clearest symbol of the whole effort was the ambitious Canary Wharf project that constructed Britain's tallest building and established a second major financial centre in London. However, there is no evidence that the LDDC foresaw this scale of development and nearby Heron Quays had already been developed as low density offices when Canary Wharf was proposed, with similar development already underway on Canary Wharf itself, Limehouse Studios being the most famous occupant.
Canary Wharf was far from trouble free and the property slump of the early 1990s halted development for several years. Developers found themselves saddled with property which they were unable to sell or let.
Case Study: Bradford
Bradford in West Yorkshire, England with a population of around 500,000 is one of the 10 largest cities in the UK. Its growth was based on the textile industry, particularly wool, but this industry collapsed during the second half of the 20th century. This was largely due to the invention of new synthetic fabrics. Faced with deindustrialisation, Bradford City Council has been forced to do three things:
- Find a new range of economic activities to support the city
- Find new uses for land that was once occupied by the woollen industry
- Shake off its old images of a rundown city of closed woollen mills- create a new image for the city.
Bradford has done well in terms of building up a new economy. It now has some modern engineering, chemical and IT industries. It has also developed leisure and tourism industry by turning its industry heritage into tourism attractions. Many of the mills still stand, and their exteriors have been smartened up. Inside, they have become museums, craft centres and galleries or been converted into small business units or flats. Other old buildings associated with the woollen industry have undergone a different form of regeneration. They have been demolished and the resulting brownfield sites filled with blocks of offices and flats, shopping centres and premises for Bradford's new industries.
From this urban regeneration, a reimaged Bradford has emerged. New life has been breathed into the city. However, two challenges remain – to improve the quality of inner-city housing and to create more harmony between Bradford's ethnic groups. Bradford has one of the largest non-white populations I the UK.
Some of the inner city's brownfield sites are now being used for the construction of expensive housing (often in gated communities) for young, upwardly-mobile people. Areas of original 19th century housing that survived the bulldozer are undergoing gentrification. Old factory buildings that survived are being conserved and converted into flats, art galleries and museums.

You Vs. Communications Professionals, how are you different?
From birth it is said that we begin learning. Adjusting to the environment is no easy task, and developing all our senses prove to be key, enabling one to actually begin this process. Learning… how to walk, talk, think, adjust, and see, could easily be related to the ways that we communicate. These are just a few of the baby steps taken in bridging the gap, becoming a blossoming intellectual. As we continue to grow we are shaping our character, building a base foundation of who we are, will we ever be able to say we are complete? I think not. As the world turns and we evaluate our experiences it seems we routinely play catch-up to our constant changing values, placing accountability upon what we expect from ourselves, these very complex expectations change depending on what is experienced or witnessed in our day to day lives. I would like to claim that these set of experiences is no different from communications professionals. The skill do not lye in the way that we handle situations, but in the way we choose to break down issues and problems to come up with a plan, alleviating the bothersome worries that plague a group of people. Yet the main question is what do mass communicators and public relations (PR) professionals do that is so different from what people do everyday.
When you look into your mirror in the morning getting ready to take on the world, you are not only looking at yourself. You are looking at a vision, you may not realize it at the time but you are looking at something bigger than yourself. You notice the blemishes, the zit that wont go away, how white the teeth are, or not, you determine if your hair is acceptable, (not even to your standards) you are looking at the image you portray, and there is something that we all try to say with this appearance. The answer, we hope to know before we leave is, were we successful.
Image is key, the professional knows this, you know this, so the work is started before you even know what your doing. The difference between this first aspect and a normal individual is that while you are focusing on yourself, the professional is focused on the entities image, the relationships that it has with its publics and its employee's. The professional takes everything that you did to correct your image and applies it to an organization. As we all know depending on what we are breaking into, this is not always an easy task and definitely not as easy as waking up in the morning and getting yourself ready. So one constantly asks themselves during the day, throughout the day, was this successful. This questions is asked so many times that at some point one will garner a play book of skills that can be toyed with in certain situations.
In order for all this to be possible an individual uses various forms of communication. When you go for that job interview you dress to impress for the job your applying for, this is a form of communication. When you think that special someone can be standing right next to you, you attempt to communicate and gage your way to see if theres interest, this is another form of communicating.
The professional much like yourself has to find a way to break into this communication. How you communicate reenforces your image. This can be very tricky at times. The image is not to get that special someone, or to even impress for that matter. Its to attract an individual or individuals to take an active part in receiving your message. You need a message that will deliver your viewpoint, and you have to deliver it in a way that people can understand and accept hopefully arriving to the same conclusion.
When you were just a little tyke you mocked a mirror image of your parents to learn how to speak, how to think, you understood what you didn't like and vowed to be different and you made your own adaptations to what you thought was correct.
Managing yourself is no different from creating a brand, all one has to do is look in the mirror. Its no different from expressing who you are, or what you may think is a good thing to get into. Managing yourself is simply the way of the communications specialist doing their best to enforce the very same ideals of a company. While some may not all agree with the image taken forth by some of the companies, they make mistakes just like humans do. In this aspect I find that there is no difference between the way a communications professional works, much different from how we portray ourselves.
No matter what we get ourselves into when we arrive at that fork in the road we do our best to make sure that we stay in the game or get out when possible. And to be honest I don't see any type of spin in that.

Believe it or not I haven't actually been out to buy more beauty products (shock horror), however these photos were taken at the beginning of December. However instead of me saying this is what I've got, I can actually share with yo some first impressions of the products as I've used them which is more beneficial than a brief description and a price. First up is a product which initially I didn't see the purpose of nor think that I would actually use it, but since the Christmas break, this has been a staple in my make up routine and that is MAC Prep and Prime Fix+. I've been using this if I'm having a no make up, make up day to prime and hydrate my skin, however where the magic comes in with this is applying after powder products to remove the cake like appearance. I also think I may invest in the smaller size for travel.
If you are a regular reader of the blog you will know how much I love Cocoa Brown's 1 Hour Tan (review here), however a random detour around the beauty aisle in my local Tesco I couldn't believe that their were selling their Dark formula off for £3 a bottle. I've been wanting to try the dark version for a while and stocked up on a few bottles. Like the medium version, you can leave this on for up to 3 hours before rinsing off, however I prefer to keep this on for as long as possible. I am impressed by the colour pay off, however it's not as dark on the skin as St Tropez or Lauren's Way. But for work this is a brilliant tan and it's a massive thumbs up from me. I need to try doing two coats of this to see what the pay off is, however Cocoa Brown never fails to deliver.
With the hype around of the Anastasia Beverley Hill's Contour Palettes, I personally couldn't part with the £40 for this, so instead I picked up Makeup Revolution Ultra Contour Palette for £8. Now I have swatched these, however I haven't properly used the kit. What I can say though is that the colour pay off is excellent, so expect to see a full review on this once I've tried it out properly. On a whim in Boots I picked up Seventeen Eyeeye Crayon in Bronze, again bad beauty hoarder, I'd totally forgotten that I'd bought this until I'd seen this photo.
Finally on a random trip to my local Beauty Outlet (I wrote about the W7 products I bought from there here), I also picked up a Maybelline Color Tattoo in Permanent Taupe for £2.49. Initially I'd been wearing this before Christmas as a wash of colour on my eyelids for work and then also as an eyeshadow primer. If you own MAC Satin Taupe eye shadow, put the color tattoo across the eyelid and then go in the crease with Satin Taupe and it's the easiest smokey eye ever. What products have you been buying lately?

Dwight Howard's decision yesterday that he wants to stay in Orlando – this season, and possibly next season – was a stunning about-turn for a man who has been openly courting trade rumours since the middle of 2011. And beyond that, it resembled a massive slap in the face for everyone involved in the Magic organisation.
Amid all the stories, rumours, make-believe and hyperbole coming out of central Florida in the last two or three weeks have been some positively disturbing suggestions. The idea that team president Alex Martins told Howard that he could choose whether or not GM Otis Smith and head coach Stan Van Gundy were fired or retained was particularly troubling – if only because it's not that hard to believe that this might actually be true.

Magic, sleight of hand, illusion, smoke and mirrors. Since antiquity people have wanted to be amazed and dumbstruck by stunts or trickery. In recent years it has been revealed that most magic shows are based on complex mechanisms (kept vehemently secret, a magician never reveals his/her secrets), yet the fascination continues and superstars of the craft are still created. But wouldn't you like to know what lays behind Oz the Great and Powerful's curtain? Let's take a look at some of the most fascinating aspects of the men and women that mystify us with their skills of misdirection. Sim sala din!
Dante the Magician
Not to be confused with the Florentine author of the Middle Ages, he just wasn't as fun. Dante the Magician was such an influential representative of magic that his death is actually considered the end of Magic's Golden Age (I'm sorry for using magic so many times, against all literary rules and aesthetics, but it's an article about it, its unavoidable, so deal with it, suck it Grammar Nazi). Originally hailing from the mystical and occult land of Denmark, he immigrated to the much less magical and a little bit fatter U.S.A. He not only performed great feats of illusion with a troupe of 24-40 people, but he is also the magician who is credited for using non-sensical words during the trick's reveal, like Sim Sala Din!
Harry Blackstone Sr. – The Great Blackstone
This man has the illustrious title of creating the "Saw a woman in half," "The vanishing cage" and "the object which magically flies over the audience" illusions. Although he was a trailblazer at the time, he opened a Pandora's Box of corny successors and cheesy fake outs of the 'beautiful assistant' screaming in agony feigning being cut in half (and I f**kin' fall for it every god-damn time).
David Copperfield
This is the man that made an elephant and the Statue of Liberty disappear. His most amazing feat was that he actually managed to convince then super-model (and uber hottie) Claudia Schiffer to date him even though he was a pretty average looking dude. Beyond that, he also owns 11 tropical islands.
Penn and Teller
This duo could be the Renaissance men of magic. Not only do they enact death-defining illusions, they also pepper it with a pretty witty sense of humor. Beyond their magic they do T.V. shows, cameos in television and movies and have even produced an unreleased video game named Penn and Teller's Smoke and Mirrors. The game is an accumulation of mini-games with one named 'Mofo the Psychotic Gorilla'. The game that most people know about is called Desert Bus which makes the player drive a bus from Tucson , Arizona to Las Vegas, Nevada in real time (8 hours) without the option to stop, pause or suspend the game without starting over.
Criss Angel– Mindfreak
One of the first magicians (along with David Blaine) that made street magic popular, which is done very close to the viewer out in the open (thus the name 'street art' you dope). He's also known for his grotesque tricks involving 'self-mutilation' and elements that allude to horror/gore films. Ironically, although he was born Christopher Nicholas Sarantakos, he opted for the much more boring Criss Angel. Why wouldn't he go with his unpronounceable Greek name, its super magic-y.
David Blaine
Watch the video above, it's freaking hilarious. I'll wait just go to the back room and take a nap…I mean have a drink…I mean…well never mind. David Blaine is also one of the pioneers of street art and is very famous for his endurance tricks. He has spent 7 days in a translucent plastic coffin under 3 tons of water and gravel, lived between blocks of ice for 36 hours, lived atop a 100 ft. pillar for almost 3 days (35 hours) and spend 45 days in a 3x7x7 ft. plexiglass box just on water (1x2x2 meters) and many others. Marie Blood (Houdini's niece) said: "My uncle did some amazing things, but he could not have done this"
Jean Robert-Houdin
Sound familiar? Well there's a reason for that. In 19th Century our friend Frenchy Robert-Houdin was an amazing magician with a huge following of fans. A young boy named Erik Weisz saw Robert-Houdin and 'borrowed' his name from him.
Erik Weiss
A Hungarian immigrant that excelled at gymnastics, boxing and track, wanted a little more out of life. He wanted a little magic (collective moan with the sound of retching in the background). So he quickly changed his name to Houdini inspired by his idol Robert-Houdin. The thing is that if he really wanted to be named after his idol, his name would have to be Roberti not Houdini, as Houdin was Robert's wife's name, Jean adopted it because he thought it sounded cool, (which I definitely won't argue that point) and so, Houdini inadvertently adopted Jean Robert's wife's name.
Magic Babe Ning
Although you could say that Ning's nomenclature is pretty sexist, she is a bona-fide badass. Not only is she the only female magician from South East Asia, she regularly performs death defining acts and uses props such as samurai swords and various ninja weapons, in opposition of the submissive role of women in magic. Not only is she a successful illusionist, she is also an accomplished escapist and entrepreneur. She owns the Little Magic Boutique, an online magic shop, and is co-founder of Mighty Magic Factory, which is an entertainment and educational establishment. With such an illustrious business portfolio you'd think that she would be all about careful, calculated actions, but her trick 'The Impalement Cage' proves quite the opposite. The trick suspended stainless steel spikes over Ning as she escaped locks, handcuffs and shackles in front of 4000 people before the spikes slammed down towards her. She also has the record for the first female that attempted this stunt.
Are there any other cool interesting facts about the world's most famous Magicians that I skipped over? Let me know in the comment section below.

My iMac intel won't boot up, probably PSU?
Hi everyone!
I've got a late 2007 iMac intel 2134 that won't power up at all. I confirmed that the AC cord is working, and then checked the LEDs, but none of them are on. At this point I'm fairly sure the problem is the Power Supply Unit. I have currently removed the PSU.
So here's my question: is there any way for me (very little electrical experience) to test the PSU to make sure it's faulty before ordering another $140 part? Also, how can I check the connection between the AC input and the PSU?
Bu iyi bir soru mu?

Sept. 1, 2009
NORTH DARTMOUTH, MA-The University of Massachusetts Dartmouth's volleyball team hopes to move up in the Little East Conference this season.
The Corsairs, who finished sixth in the league a year ago, hope to improve their standing.
"We're going to be an extremely tough defensive team," Head Coach Steve DeRossi. "We have that never-say-die attitude about not letting balls hit the floor. We're doing a much better job of anticipation. You have to look at the person who is about to touch the ball and see what they are going to do. Our strength will definitely be on the defensive end."
Offensively, the Corsairs should be improved. "We are going to be multi-faceted on offense with a lot of weapons," said DeRossi. "We are using both a 5-1 and a 6-2 formation with setters Jessica Goncalves (Fr. New Bedford, MA/New Bedford HS) and Katie Amalfi (Holliston, MA/Holliston HS). We have our number two and three hitters in terms of kills coming back in (sophomore) Allie Mastrocola (Swansea, MA/Case HS) and (sophomore) Cami Ascher (Natick, MA/Natick HS). We also have (junior) Eleni Tsaparakas (Norwalk, CT/Norwalk HS), who spent last summer on the beach and has improved. She looks like she can play opposite Allie in the rotation."
Several newcomers will also contribute. "(Junior) Lauren Safioleas (New Bedford, MA/New Bedford HS/Bristol CC) is very athletic and jumps well and can play the left side, and (senior) Amanda Langfield (Somerset, MA/Somerset HS) transferred back here from Framingham State after playing her first two years here and is an experienced player. (Sophomore) Shannon Brodie (Chelmsford, MA/Chelmsford HS) was our libero last year, and (senior) Aly Zagame (Greenfield, MA/Greenfield HS) was our libero two years ago before she got hurt, so we have a lot of depth there as well. Just about everyone has taken a step up. (Freshman) Liandra Pellegrini (Canton, MA/Canton HS) has some good skills, and (freshman) Ann Staulo (Waban, MA/Newton North HS) comes from a quality program at Newton North. Now we have people who can push our starters."
DeRossi will count on leadership from his captains. "Our captains are Eleni Tsaparakis, Aly Zagame and (senior) Jackie Davis (Swansea, MA/Case HS), who is a very versatile player who can play left side, right side, or in the middle," said DeRossi. "With our leadership and our depth, we should be a better team this year."

Dealing with Energy Issues
The need for more renewable energy sources is greater than ever. Rising power prices, fears over security of supply and climate change have put the issue of energy high in everyone's mind. National and regional authorities have acknowledged that renewable energy is an important solution to help meet the challenges of our modern lifestyle and its ever increasing energy demands. Scotland has set a target of 100% of electricity sourced from renewables by 2020. There is a lot that need to be done before this target is met!
Apart from the low carbon and energy security advantages that are felt on a national level, the wind farm could provide benefits to the local community as well.
Infinergy is committed to community benefits associated with the proposal. We will be working with the local community once again to help determine the best kind of benefits for the area. Typically a wind farm has a life span of up to 25 years so we want to make sure the benefits attached to the development make a significant contribution to the community. If you have any ideas on how best to deliver community benefit, please get in touch.

"The pain in my hip or knee has steadily progressed. Home remedies and over-the-counter medicines which used to give me relief are just not working. What should I do now?"
There are thousands of people thinking about the solution that will give them back mobility, independence, and most importantly, quality of life. Surgery might offer joint pain patients much-needed relief.
In case of a torn meniscus or ligaments, there are typically loose pieces of cartilage in the knee joint, and taking them out is helpful. Knee Arthroscopy is usually used for these sort of problems and most people are able to walk unassisted within few hours of discharge. For knee pain due to advanced arthritis, joint replacement surgery has become more common in recent years.
The joint replacement surgeon at Apollo Spectra Hospitals says, "Anytime you talk about replacing a joint, people get nervous because they think you are going to take out the whole joint. On the contrary, in most of the cases, the surgery involves only resurfacing of the joint. After removing the damaged bone and cartilage, the new metal and plastic joint surfaces are positioned to restore the knee alignment and function. Computer Assisted Knee Replacement Surgery offers even better results through the accurate placement of the implants resulting in enhanced longevity of the implant and better function."
The surgeon further recalls cases of successful joint replacement surgeries on people over 80 years of age. Precise diagnosis, developments in technology, superior pain and infection control protocols, DVT Prophylaxis policy, and personalised rehabilitation have made recovery quicker and simpler. These complement the experienced surgeons in helping the ailing get back to the life they are used to, the one they love and deserve.
Know more about knee arthroscopy surgery and its recovery steps?

52 Years
52 long years. Countless blown opportunities. Millions of unbroken spirits. One kid from Akron.
That is the story arc of the life of a Cleveland sports fan. For so long, the people of Northeast Ohio had gotten used to having their hearts broken. For a city that had become defined by its professional sports drought, the dream of victory was always just out of reach. But the region and its millions of fans that never lost hope now have reason to celebrate. The drought is over, and it took a kid from Akron to help end it.
It seemed highly unlikely, nearly impossible even, that the Cleveland Cavaliers would come back after falling to a 3-1 series deficit to the defending world champions. With the Golden State Warriors historic regular season record and nearly perfect postseason home court performance serving as the backdrop for an epic game seven, many once again counted the Cavs out. But keeping a promise he made when he returned to Northeast Ohio, LeBron James helped lead his team to one of the most remarkable comebacks in professional sports history.
Named as the unanimous Finals MVP, LeBron was overcome with a lifetime worth of emotions. As he brought the trophy back to Cleveland and was welcomed back home by thousands of people eagerly awaiting his arrival, the magnitude of the feat finally started to set in. More than a trophy, LeBron and the Cavs helped return hope to Northeast Ohio.
He had dreamed of what this moment would be like. He envisioned it in his mind, vowing to make it real. And when he did, the moment was even better than he could have ever imagined.

This papercraft is the RAmarl, based on the online game Phantasy Star, the paper model is designed by NecroShade. RAmarls have low HP, but their high mental strength compensates for it by providing strong attach techniques to support them in ranged combat.
Phantasy Star is a series of console role-playing video games and other supplementary media created by Sega. The series debuted in 1987 on the Sega Master System with Phantasy Star, and continues into the present with Phantasy Star Universe, Sega's foray into the realm of MMORPGs. Each of the games in the series features a science fantasy setting featuring a cross-genre combination of magic and technology.
The series takes place in two similar fictional universes. While the first four games in the series are set in the planetary system of Algol, the later online games, Phantasy Star Online and Phantasy Star Universe, are set in other galaxies, with no canonical link to the original series, but rather only features the recurrence of common themes, enemies, and the primary antagonist, Dark Force.

We'd meant to drink tea together in the morning, but my friend was pressed for time. He dressed and left, and I took my time getting ready. My train was in the afternoon, so I had plenty of time to do absolutely nothing. There was a pleasant wind up, and it was a nice day. My laptop decided to work, since it now had no reason to, and I sat on a bed watching films. I realised that I hadn't been myself for the last few days. In order to do something, I'd forced myself into a rigorous routine that also wouldn't let me do the things I like. However, on that note, we should remember that sometimes a sacrifice like that is worth it for the people who make it, when they know what they want. The MUN was certainly worth it.
My friend came back and did laundry, pausing briefly to watch Superbad with me for a few minutes. My ride to the station was already booked, and we walked out for lunch together. The first place we went to was closed but then he took me to a modest eatery where we had South Indian food, and then to one of those ice cream parlours where they make ice cream with natural ingredients. They let you taste flavours before you buy, and it was delicious. It actually melted into water as we walked back.
It wasn't for long, but this brief stay was good – relaxing, enjoyable, and no pressure involved. I said goodbye as the car started later that day for the station. It didn't take as long as the previous night to get there; the driver got my suitcase out of the trunk, and I said, 'Thank you, bhaiya,' congratulating myself for my Hindi skills.
The train was already there when I got to the platform, but boarding didn't begin for a while. I had the upper bunk again, and the journey was what you'd expect. When we were pulling into Howrah Station the next day, I couldn't stop telling one of my co-passengers how the wait was killing me. The train had stopped just outside the station, as is due process, I think, and being this close but far away was unbearable.
Baba was waiting for me. I hugged him and we went to the car – our car – and drove back home. Baba, as always, couldn't stop telling me which landmark was which and what road lead where, but this time, I didn't object. Oh, and he'd brought a Monginis burger.
When I got home, I made a blog post that you've probably read.

First off, my apologies for such a late showing of this review. I always take notes as I test a new distro and I was going to write this review using my handy-dandy Android app, so I took my little paper and stuck it in a pocket..somewhere. I finally located it today, which is the reason for my tardiness. Now that my groveling is complete, awayyyy we go!
I booted a Live CD of Linux Mint 10, nicely named Julia, and waited for the boot. The booting didn't take much longer than average but longer than I would have liked. The throbber 'dots' from the previous Isadora are again present. The boot finally ends in a gray desktop with very little green to be had (:O) but it was a nice 'metal' theme that had a simple yet elegant LM 10. The new icon theme, which is apparently made from sets "Faenza" and "Elementary" and of course, mintified, is VERY nice to look at. It was a little wow moment.
One of the big changes for Linux Mint this go around (and there's always at least one to wow you with) is the Mint Menu. That's right, the amazing Mint Menu that makes other distros wish they were green, has gotten even better. The menu is now themeable, and more customiseable than ever, with the nice new icons incorporated and menu entries have been revised to make categorizing better as well. Additionally, one can use search engines from the menu now, as well as the search and install packages right from the menu. I did forget to check the CPU usage for this so I am uncertain whether or not these menu improvements will be detrimental to memory.
The other big big change for Mint is that now, upon deciding to do a hard drive install, one is now presented with the option of upgrading to the DVD edition of Mint. This includes all the goodies that have to be missing from the Mint editions that get distributed in the USA and Japan due to patents and copyrights etc. So now no one has to miss out on the full issue of Linux Mint. This is something I can take advantage of myself.
Other nice improvements include changes to the Update Manager, which now comes with an 'ignore list' and now tells the size of individual updates. The upload manager, which also remained untested by me as I have no use for it, went through some minor changes as well, including the ability to run in the background and it's looks now mirror the download box in Firefox. Additionally, the Software Manager is faster, which was nice..although not as noticeable as the speed increase was on Isadora lol.
As for aesthetics, I liked the look of Linux Mint (I always do) but as far as the artwork is concerned, I have to say none of the hired artists have done work to surpass that of some of the long time community members. In future releases I would like to see artwork by Linux Minters again. The brushed metal look is good though. Everything I tested worked just fine, as expected from the Mint team. Wireless and DSL connections fine, as well as all the apps were all in perfect working condition. As usual, I give high marks to Linux Mint, an A- for performance and an A- for looks. Great job to the Mint team!

Many men on this planet are not easily satisfied with the size of their penises. To them, it's a matter of importance, especially with the belief that having a bigger penis can truly lead to the ultimate sexual experience with their partners.
It's also a matter of pride and confidence, since the last thing they would want to use during their lovemaking sessions with their partners is a tiny penis.
Even those guys who have average-sized penises are looking to improve girth and length, which is why it's no surprise to hear so many advertisements on magazines, TV shopping networks and even on the Internet regarding the use of a penis extender. For top rated product please click here.
This is a device which is certainly popular among men looking to witness some significant penis enlargement. Penis extenders can actually provide a ton of benefits which range from size enhancement to the correction of any curvatures.
Of course, one can simply count on a lot of these devices being sold in the market, all coming from different brands. There are a few out there which put comfort for the user in top priority, while others are simply basic models that offer only the necessary features.
Of course, it would be necessary for someone to perform a bit of research on comparing in terms of prices, features and durability. However, how can any guy determine just what makes penis extenders all that reliable?
Below are some points to ponder on in trying to determine what the attributes of the best penile enhancement device are.
- The most reliable penis extenders in the market are considered to be type-1 medical devices. What this means is that that there has been a great deal of medical testing done on them in order to guarantee users that they're using safe and effective devices. After all, one can't be too careful with just picking out any penile extender out there, since there may be some unwanted effects that could totally affect their sex life for the worse. A good device should be engineered with the purpose of helping a man experience significant penile growth.
- Devices of the sort are supposed to utilize the concept of traction. This is essentially the same thing as trying to increase muscles in other parts of the body. If there is an increased level of traction, there will be better blood flow in the genitals, which in turns leading to harder and bigger erections. Apart from that, these devices can also perform corrections on penises which are too angled or curved. It can help a man have a lengthy and appropriately erect penis without any problems.
- Penis extenders of good quality can be worn for several hours in a day, and should provide maximum comfort to the user. This can simply help them increase their penis size without any pains or annoyances felt. They're also not very obvious, especially when a person wears baggy or loose clothing.
These are just some of the traits of a really good penis extender.

I was really happy to have been invited to Seventeens Bloggers Network first ever event of theirs on Thursday 18th August. It was amazing meeting other bloggers and getting really good tips/advice from the lovely Kate Snooks. She is a really nice genuine person. She made a good point that blogging and gaining an audience does not happen over night. She mentioned about it taking a year before she got any readers on her blog now she has 100s of fans on her blog. That's inspired me just to keep going and be positive, its going to feel like I am talking to myself on here for awhile.
Unfortunately I could not stay for long due unforeseen circumstances.
I really enjoyed Kate's speech, I remember Kate saying its lonely blogging sometimes but that's the way forward I think. I am not a successful blogger now but in the near future I could be? I enjoy reviewing affordable high street brands because I do believe it helps out that company and people who want to buy the product.

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — Farmers, as you can imagine, pay a lot of attention to the weather.
"In the last few days we've had over 6 inches of rain," said Paul Nelson, of Untiedt's Vegetable Farm in Montrose.
This year, the long cold winter and soggy spring are making farmers' jobs that much harder.
"Every day you get up, you're hoping for a dry day to keep your boots clean," Nelson said. "But it's just not happening this year."
The mucky fields are making it tough for Untiedt's Farm, where they grow many fruits and vegetables.
"We raise sweet corn, tomatoes, green beans, strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, peppers, pumpkins, bedding plants, flowers," Nelson said.
All of their crops are behind schedule, but the strawberries are on their way.
"Give us about a week, and we should have strawberries all over the place," he said.
Strawberry season typically ends when the July heat hits its stride. While our cooler spring stunted their start, it also gave the berries time to grow.
"Strawberries so far this year are generally large and very abundant," Nelson said.
There's still time for them to get sun before they're ripe for picking.
"What tends to happen when we have too much rain, they tend to be a little more watery, they tend not to last as long," he said.
But we all know that once you have that first, fresh bite, you won't have them for long anyway.
"There's nothing that tastes the same," Nelson said. "There's nothing like tasting something that's been picked dead ripe, ready to eat."
There are 85 farms in Minnesota that let you pick-your-own strawberries.

I can't tell yet if this is a new spin strategy carefully scripted by Team Trump or if Reince is about to get an angry phone call from his boss. Trump's argument, after all, has been that there's no way to tell who's behind a hack. "Entities in Russia" puts the culprits a lot closer to Moscow than the proverbial "somebody sitting on their bed that weighs 400 pounds, okay?"
|VIDEO: listen to Priebus above
The phrasing is noteworthy. Reince does answer "Russia" at one point when Wallace badgers him to name who Trump thinks is behind the hackings, but during the rest of the interview he uses the phrase "entities in Russia," which feels deliberately ambiguous. "Entities" could refer to private hackers acting on their own initiative, not at the behest of the Russian government. This may be Team Trump trying to find a middle way between accepting the new intelligence report and sticking with their talking point that we can't know with absolute certainty that Putin's behind this. Okay, they now seem to be saying, we accept that it was someone in Russia who did the hacking and handed the material off to Wikileaks, but as to whether they were following orders from the Kremlin, hmmm.
For the record, this is what the report released on Friday had to say about that: ...Read the rest of the story HERE.

Thousands gather for Pakistan opposition rally
-, LAHORE, Pakistan
Aug 14, 2014-
Thousands have gathered in the Pakistani city of Lahore as a key opposition rally got underway, demanding the government's ouster over allegations of vote fraud.
The demonstration is led by Imran Khan, famous cricketer-turned-politician who heads the Tehrik-e-Insaf party, the third-largest in parliament.
The protesters are traveling in a motorcade from Lahore to the capital, Islamabad, to continue the protest there later on Thursday.
Police official Mohammad Mahmood says about 5,000 protesters are in the convoy.
Thousands of policemen are deployed across Islamabad and the capital's entry points have been blocked with large shipping containers.
The rally is the strongest challenge yet to Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif's government, just a year after he took office in the first democratic transfer of power in a country long plagued by military coups.

Homeopathy - The Magic of the Minimum Dose
The rather strange and clumsy word "homoeopathy" is derived from the Greek words 'homoios' meaning 'like' and 'pathos' meaning suffering"; so translated means "like suffering", and homoeopathy then is the medical practice of treating like with like. This is the basic or fundamental law of homoeopathy that was expressed by Samuel Hahnemann, the great German physician, (1755-1843) as 'similia similibus curentur'-likes may be cured by likes. This principle was well known to the physicians of ancient times, Hippocrates and Paracelsus, but was revised and built upon by Hahnemann in the early part of the nineteenth century. He confirmed the remarkable fact that a substance could cure the ailment that it could cause. This principle has found its way into modern usage in the phrase "the hair of the dog that bit you". Numerous examples can be quoted to demonstrate this principle to be effective. If quinine is given to a healthy person in fairly large quantities, most of the symptoms of the disease malaria will arise, i.e. violent headache, buzzing in the ears, aching of the limbs, etc. Yet quinine in small doses is a recognised remedy for malaria and modern treatments for malaria have been developed from this basic plant material. In a similar way white arsenic produces intense abdominal pain, diarrhoea and vomiting, and Arsenicum Album in homoeopathic potency is often the treatment of choice for this condition. A clear example of the homoeopathic principle in modern medicine, probably not recognized by those who use it is the use of radium and X-ray therapy in the treatment of cancer, where the therapists themselves take great care to avoid over-exposure to radiation, as over-exposure can lead to the development of cancerous growths. Another example of the principle of like curing like is found in the use of Coffea (coffee) which is often given for sleeplessness by the homoeopath whereas it is well known that drinking too much coffee before bedtime will keep a person awake.
Hahnemann was so appalled by the medical practices of his day which often involved violent purging and blood letting so severe that on occasions the patient died as a result of it, that he determined to seek a gentler form of approach. He, his students and his family set out to investigate the herbs and drugs which were later to form the basis of the homoeopathic Materia Medica of today - the list of remedies that are used to treat disease. These investigations were carried out by Hahnemann and his followers, who took small quantities of known drugs and minerals for a period of time, often quite a long period of time, and noted the symptoms that arose as a result of taking those drugs. Patients who suffered from similar symptoms to those that had been produced in the experimenter were then treated with tiny quantities of these substances and it was found that in many cases a complete cure of their illnesses resulted. These experiments were called "provings" and are still carried out today on a somewhat limited scale by groups of homoeopaths all over the world who are still prepared to subject themselves to uncomfortable experiences in order to find new and valuable remedies for the treatment of their patients. It is the principle of "like cures like" that is the foundation of homoeopathy.
Much has been made of the fact that homoeopaths use tiny, even infinitesimal doses, of the remedy that they have chosen. Hahnemann's earlier experiments involved giving small but material doses of the remedies involved, but he discovered that often the therapeutic value of the remedies was enhanced as even smaller amounts were given; an additional benefit of the very small quantities of course was that the likelihood of side effects appearing was reduced. Hahnemann then experimented with ways of carrying out this dilution and the method called "succussion" or "potentisation" was eventually developed and is still used to this day. This process consists of dilution of mineral or drug solutions again and again with vigorous shaking, the diluent usually used being a solution of pure alcohol. Whilst it was found that the highly diluted solution of the correct remedy was very effective in use, if the wrong remedy was chosen in error it had no effect whatsoever, so the patient was safe and protected from side -effects, It is this astonishing effect of the minute dose that has lead to the strongest criticisms of homoeopathy, criticisms that the homoeopaths have found most difficult to answer. The cry has so often been, "there is no scientific proof", and the accusation is often made that cures are due to the placebo effect, that the patient gets better because he believes he will. In all systems of medicine this is a factor that cannot be ignored, and the bedside manner has always been important in the establishment of trust between physician and patient. However, this criticism of homoeopathy falls down when one considers its use with animals and infants where the patient does not even know that what is being administered is a medicine. In recent times some double blind trials, so beloved of the drug companies, have been carried out on homoeopathic remedies and these trials have proved those remedies to be effective beyond question. The proof of the pudding however is in the eating and homoeopaths are usually too busy helping people to get well to be interested in denying them treatment for the benefit of scientific research so for this reason much of homoeopathic reporting is anecdotal.
The homoeopaths are concerned with assessing the person as a whole rather than the disease as a set of symptoms, which they see as the body's reaction to the illness, and will be extremely interested in the person's mental as well as physical make-up, whether their colouring is dark or fair, whether they are better for movement or quiet, better in the morning or the evening, better in cold or hot weather; all these things are pointers to the correct remedy in addition to a knowledge of the patient's past medical history, particularly of past infectious illness. When the remedy is chosen and administered its effect is to stimulate the body's own in-built healing ablity to overcome the disease in order that symptoms are no longer created and physical and mental harmony are restored.
Fortunately for our purpose there are two groups of homoeopathic remedies that are referred to as the "Polycrests" and the "Organ remedies" which are given in the same tiny doses as before but which can be chosen very simply by using the muscle test without the long and complicated case-taking that the trained homoeopath applies. It is these remedies, together with the "Nosodes", a type of homoeopathic immunisaton, that form the basis of much homoeopathic treatment.

Northshire Bookstore offers weekend of activities in honor of 40th anniversary
MANCHESTER >> A lot has changed in the book industry since 1976 when the Northshire Bookstore first opened, but 40 years later, a celebration will prove that wrong.
On Sept. 9, 10 and 11 the store invites the public to experience, fun, food and activities for all ages. Vermont comedian Michael Kingsbury will put on a show Friday night, authors Wendy Walker and Richard Russo will be doing a signing on Saturday and various games, giveaways and story times are in store for kids on Sunday.
That weekend is also the store's Readers Rewards Member Appreciation Sale Weekend where everything is 20 percent off for members. Additionally, visitors will receive a scratch off ticket on Saturday and Sunday between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. for a chance to get a 20 to 40 percent discount off purchases.
The physical presence of the bookstore has done nothing but expand since its inception. In the 70s it was housed in the building that is now home to the Berkshire Bank in Manchester Center. Barbara and Ed Morrow lived with their two sons below the store. Eventually the bottom floor was transformed into an all-children's' section, son, manager and current owner Chris Morrow said.
In the mid 80s The Colburn House, an Inn, went out of business after almost a century and the Morrows bought it, which is where the bookstore sits today. It was 5000 square feet and the family lived on the third floor of the business. In 2003 they added a new building and the Spiral Press Cafe came into what used to be The Next Chapter; a room to sell used books. The two additions doubled the bookstore's size and added an entire floor for the kids' section.
In 2013 folks in Saratoga Springs, N.Y. recruited Northshire to open a store there after Borders Books went out of business.
"The industry has changed a lot and for a long time with [chain bookstores]," Morrow said. "In the 80s and 90s...it was a concern. With the advent of the internet [and electronic books], there was a big shift in the industry and we didn't know how it would go. But, there was a 30 percent decline last year. And, of course the 2008 recession."
In its early days, the bookstore sold LPs (Long Play, vinyl record) but since has explored trinkets and gifts, accessories and a wide variety of book genres. Morrow added that the author visits have been popular as well.
He said to comes down to delivering the best service, selection and ambiance.
"It resonated with people and created a genuine experience," he said in regards to people favoring books over ebooks. "You can't get it online. We continue to focus on being unique and serve the greater Manchester community."
The partnership with the cafe was a "great addition," Morrow said.
"It's very synergistic. We play off each other. It's designed to feel seamless," he said.
Festivities for the anniversary weekend kick-off on Sept. 9 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m with local watercolor artist Lynn Pratt followed by the comedian show at 7 p.m. accompanied by a cash bar provided by The Perfect Wife Restaurant and Tavern. On Sept. 10 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., local vendors will setup shop around the store sampling products such as sausage, craft beer, cheese and sweets. From 1 to 3 p.m. Wendy Walker will do a meet and greet and signing of her latest psychological mystery "All is Not Forgotten." From 5 to 6 p.m., Adam Centamore will speak on his book "Tasting wine and Cheese" and offer samples. To finish off the day, author Richard Russo will speak on his newest publication "Everybody's Fool." Sept. 11 concludes the celebration with a children's festival of crafts, story tellings, book trivia and more.

After debuting the self-lacing Nike HyperAdapt 1.0 in March, Nike is finally pulling the trigger for its release.
Coming Dec. 1, the sneaker serves as the first performance vehicle for Nike's latest technological breakthrough, which they called "adaptive lacing"… or power laces, which has been mostly tied to the Nike MAG model.
"The shoe translates deep research in digital, electrical and mechanical engineering into a product designed for movement," Nike says in a press release.
The Nike HyperAdapt 1.0 comes in a Black/White-Blue Lagoon colorway, and releases at the Nike Soho store and the NIKE+ ClubHouse in NYC — where consumers can learn about and trial the product.
While the release is exciting, the pricetag may not be. It will retail for a whipping $720 USD.
Additionally, a small group of NIKE+ APP users will have limited early access on Nov. 28.
The launch colorway and a Metallic Silver/Black-White colorway will become available through the NIKE+ APP and select Nike doors in the U.S. sometime later in December.
NIKE HYPERADAPT WITH SELF LACING TECHNOLOGY DROPS DECEMBER 1st

Coin flip puts Kesler in Canucks' lineupby Kevin Woodley
VANCOUVER, British Columbia -- This time Ryan Kesler left no doubt he was back.
After being evasive and playing coy following his first full practice the day before, the Vancouver Canucks' Selke Trophy-winning center declared himself ready to return Friday night against the visiting Dallas Stars. Kesler hasn't played in almost 10 months after undergoing shoulder surgery in May then needing a wrist operation in June.
"I flipped AV's coin out there on the ice and it said I was, so I think I'll be playing," Kelser said, joking in reference to coach Alain Vigneault's ongoing gag about using a coin to choose his starting goalie. "It's been a long road, so for it to finally be here is pretty exciting."
Kesler, who has pushed to come back too soon from serious injuries and surgeries in the past, said the lockout made it easier to be patient, knowing he'll miss 12 games instead of 50.
"It wasn't a good situation, but for me it gave me the time I needed to recover without pressuring myself to come back," Kesler said. "I'm fully convinced this is not too early."
Kesler returned too soon from hip surgery last season and struggled early. Not long after finding his stride, he injured his shoulder and wrist. His goal total fell from 41 the year before to 22 last season, and he clearly wasn't the same player down the stretch and into the Stanley Cup Playoffs, when he had three assists in five games.
"I don't think anybody likes being injured," Kesler said. "Just to practice when you are feeling 100 percent, it's fun again. You enjoy being out there and you enjoy doing what you love to do."
Here's how the rest of the lines will look as the Canucks get their second-line center, net-front power play presence, and top penalty killer back in the lineup and try to extend a six-game win streak against a Dallas team that had a four-game streak snapped by a 7-4 loss to the Calgary Flames on Wednesday:
Daniel Sedin – Henrik Sedin – Alexandre Burrows
Zack Kassian – Ryan Kesler – Chris Higgins
Mason Raymond – Jordan Schroeder – Jannik Hansen
Aaron Volpatti – Maxim Lapierre – Dale Weise
Keith Ballard – Christopher Tanev
Injured: David Booth (groin, back skating), Manny Malhotra (eye, out for season).
Scratched: Andrew Ebbett, Andrew Alberts, Cam Barker
Notes: Malhotra's gear was still hanging in the locker room a day after Canucks general manager announced he was done for the season over concerns the eye injury he suffered almost two years ago left the veteran center vulnerable on the ice.
Brenden Morrow - Jamie Benn - Jaromir Jagr
Reilly Smith - Derek Roy - Loui Eriksson
Antoine Roussel - Cody Eakin - Michael Ryder
Eric Nystrom - Vernon Fiddler - Ryan Garbutt
Stephane Robidas - Brenden Dillon
Alex Goligoski - Philip Larsen
Injured: Ray Whitney
Scratched: Tomas Vincour, Tom Wandell
Notes: Jamie Oleksiak was sent back to the American Hockey League on Thursday. … Roussel and Vincour swap spots in the press box, while Smith is moved up to the second line in place of Ryder. … Lehtonen has been the Stars' best player this season, but is 2-7-0 with a 3.69 goals-against average and .879 save percentage against the Canucks in his career.
