Teller Reveals His Secrets
The smaller, quieter half of the magician duo Penn & Teller writes about how magicians manipulate the human mind
- By Teller
- Smithsonian magazine, March 2012, Subscribe
In the last half decade, magic—normally deemed entertainment fit only for children and tourists in Las Vegas—has become shockingly respectable in the scientific world. Even I—not exactly renowned as a public speaker—have been invited to address conferences on neuroscience and perception. I asked a scientist friend (whose identity I must protect) why the sudden interest. He replied that those who fund science research find magicians "sexier than lab rats."
I'm all for helping science. But after I share what I know, my neuroscientist friends thank me by showing me eye-tracking and MRI equipment, and promising that someday such machinery will help make me a better magician.
I have my doubts. Neuroscientists are novices at deception. Magicians have done controlled testing in human perception for thousands of years.
I remember an experiment I did at the age of 11. My test subjects were Cub Scouts. My hypothesis (that nobody would see me sneak a fishbowl under a shawl) proved false and the Scouts pelted me with hard candy. If I could have avoided those welts by visiting an MRI lab, I surely would have.
But magic's not easy to pick apart with machines, because it's not really about the mechanics of your senses. Magic's about understanding—and then manipulating—how viewers digest the sensory information.
I think you'll see what I mean if I teach you a few principles magicians employ when they want to alter your perceptions.
1. Exploit pattern recognition. I magically produce four silver dollars, one at a time, with the back of my hand toward you. Then I allow you to see the palm of my hand empty before a fifth coin appears. As Homo sapiens, you grasp the pattern, and take away the impression that I produced all five coins from a hand whose palm was empty.
2. Make the secret a lot more trouble than the trick seems worth. You will be fooled by a trick if it involves more time, money and practice than you (or any other sane onlooker) would be willing to invest. My partner, Penn, and I once produced 500 live cockroaches from a top hat on the desk of talk-show host David Letterman. To prepare this took weeks. We hired an entomologist who provided slow-moving, camera-friendly cockroaches (the kind from under your stove don't hang around for close-ups) and taught us to pick the bugs up without screaming like preadolescent girls. Then we built a secret compartment out of foam-core (one of the few materials cockroaches can't cling to) and worked out a devious routine for sneaking the compartment into the hat. More trouble than the trick was worth? To you, probably. But not to magicians.
3. It's hard to think critically if you're laughing. We often follow a secret move immediately with a joke. A viewer has only so much attention to give, and if he's laughing, his mind is too busy with the joke to backtrack rationally.
4. Keep the trickery outside the frame. I take off my jacket and toss it aside. Then I reach into your pocket and pull out a tarantula. Getting rid of the jacket was just for my comfort, right? Not exactly. As I doffed the jacket, I copped the spider.
5. To fool the mind, combine at least two tricks. Every night in Las Vegas, I make a children's ball come to life like a trained dog. My method—the thing that fools your eye—is to puppeteer the ball with a thread too fine to be seen from the audience. But during the routine, the ball jumps through a wooden hoop several times, and that seems to rule out the possibility of a thread. The hoop is what magicians call misdirection, a second trick that "proves" the first. The hoop is genuine, but the deceptive choreography I use took 18 months to develop (see No. 2—More trouble than it's worth).
6. Nothing fools you better than the lie you tell yourself. David P. Abbott was an Omaha magician who invented the basis of my ball trick back in 1907. He used to make a golden ball float around his parlor. After the show, Abbott would absent-mindedly leave the ball on a bookshelf while he went to the kitchen for refreshments. Guests would sneak over, heft the ball and find it was much heavier than a thread could support. So they were mystified. But the ball the audience had seen floating weighed only five ounces. The one on the bookshelf was a heavy duplicate, left out to entice the curious. When a magician lets you notice something on your own, his lie becomes impenetrable.
7. If you are given a choice, you believe you have acted freely. This is one of the darkest of all psychological secrets. I'll explain it by incorporating it (and the other six secrets you've just learned) into a card trick worthy of the most annoying uncle.
THE EFFECT I cut a deck of cards a couple of times, and you glimpse flashes of several different cards. I turn the cards facedown and invite you to choose one, memorize it and return it. Now I ask you to name your card. You say (for example), "The queen of hearts." I take the deck in my mouth, bite down and groan and wiggle to suggest that your card is going down my throat, through my intestines, into my bloodstream and finally into my right foot. I lift that foot and invite you to pull off my shoe and look inside. You find the queen of hearts. You're amazed. If you happen to pick up the deck later, you'll find it's missing the queen of hearts.
THE SECRET(S) First, the preparation: I slip a queen of hearts in my right shoe, an ace of spades in my left and a three of clubs in my wallet. Then I manufacture an entire deck out of duplicates of those three cards. That takes 18 decks, which is costly and tedious (No. 2—More trouble than it's worth).
When I cut the cards, I let you glimpse a few different faces. You conclude the deck contains 52 different cards (No. 1—Pattern recognition). You think you've made a choice, just as when you choose between two candidates preselected by entrenched political parties (No. 7—Choice is not freedom).
Now I wiggle the card to my shoe (No. 3—If you're laughing...). When I lift whichever foot has your card, or invite you to take my wallet from my back pocket, I turn away (No. 4—Outside the frame) and swap the deck for a normal one from which I'd removed all three possible selections (No. 5—Combine two tricks). Then I set the deck down to tempt you to examine it later and notice your card missing (No. 6—The lie you tell yourself).
Magic is an art, as capable of beauty as music, painting or poetry. But the core of every trick is a cold, cognitive experiment in perception: Does the trick fool the audience? A magician's data sample spans centuries, and his experiments have been replicated often enough to constitute near-certainty. Neuroscientists—well intentioned as they are—are gathering soil samples from the foot of a mountain that magicians have mapped and mined for centuries. MRI machines are awesome, but if you want to learn the psychology of magic, you're better off with Cub Scouts and hard candy.

Its fascinating to know the secrets behind magic that seems real like life in such simple and lucid ways

Thank you Teller for this insight. I have just finished reading 'Mischief', by Harling and Nyrup who in a much more wordy book, cover the same premise. I am an enthusiastic amateur and member of the Magic Circle.

Teller, thank you. I have always been interested in psychology and the study of thought and perception from a cognitive emotional perspective. I had not put together the science of magic with psychological therapy before.

"Nothing but free publicity so they can constantly maintain their Name in public. The bait is this story. He keeps his and Penn's name in the public eye. That's all this is." @Max, because when you want publicity, we all know that you go directly to the Smithsonian Magazine, the very personification of PR hype with an extremely wide readership. Very cagy of Teller to tap into the public consciousness like this.

I can tell you with certainty, Its al B.S. He's a showman, it's his shtick, It's always been their shtick,…. Pretending to tell you how it's done. Nothing but free publicity so they can constantly maintain their Name in public. Houdini, Madonna, they are all to familiar with how to keep their name in public and Alive. THAT is the underlining trick. Keeping your persona alive. Controversy, exposure, sensationalism. That's the real secret. The bait is this story. He keeps his and Penns name in the public eye. That's all this Is.
Posted by Max on March 28,2012 | 10:22 AM
As I understand it, and this may have slackened in recent years, but magicians are duty-bound among their not so secret society never to reveal their secrets. The best way to never reveal your secrets, is to make everyone believe you already have.
I'm not convinced Teller has given us any of his real secrets. He's described essentially what's already out there in the public consciousness. What magicians learned long ago and have passed down for generations. These are the lessons an aspiring magician picks up along the way in the early years of honing his craft. Not that you can now go be a magician. Any musician will tell you music theory is nothing like picking up a guitar and playing till long after your fingers bleed and you build up callouses.
The descriptions in this article that appear to be of tricks Teller and Penn currently do are either ones done in a different manner from how he explained them, or they are retiring them, or those particular examples are still used because audiences favor them, but have been discerned by audience members already and he feels safe in 'revealing secrets' that are already relatively well-known outside the illusionist 'secret society.'
So one can assume a scientist has 'tricked' Teller into revealing his secrets, but that is not evident. This could simply be yet another illusion. Would Teller admit to that one way or the other? Of course not. Why? That would be telling.

First of all, "magic" is about manipulating and altering people's perceptions. "Science" is about uncovering the darkness of manipulated or altered people's mind. Teller just encountered a master magician clothed as a scientist who convinced Teller into "helping" the "sciences" in exposing his tricks!
Posted by tt on March 23,2012 | 02:23 PM
Fascinating!!! Any great performer will hook onto the concious minds of the audience so as to play with their perceptions for a little while! Thanks Teller! Hope to see you in Sin city sometime!

Teller's is one of my favorite magicians, he is so clever and so skillful, as a magician I learn all the time but this article has articulated many things i wanted to say ...and could not express myslef
Well done

The "magic" Teller reveals is used everyday by professional salespeople worldwide. Whether the product is diamonds or real estate, the prospect is manipulated into making the sought-after buying "decision".
Posted by Steve on March 6,2012 | 01:21 AM
magic is about domination, plain and simple. Someone who wants to completely alter the way you see and interpret reality is a dominator. In magic there is also deduction. We allow ourselves to be seduced so that we can be dominated. Evil genius.

Hemp flag to fly over US Capitol on July 4
Jul 3, 2013
By The Associated Press
DENVER — An American flag made of industrial hemp will fly over the U.S. Capitol on Independence Day.
Democratic Rep. Jared Polis of Colorado announced Wednesday that his request for the hemp-made flag was granted.
Polis has long pushed for the plant to be legal for farmers to grow. Industrial hemp looks much like marijuana but does not have its psychoactive properties. Federal law prohibits growing hemp, but not importing it.
Historians say the first American flags were made of hemp, which was raised by George Washington and Thomas Jefferson.
Polis successfully amended the federal farm bill last month to allow farmers to raise industrial hemp. However, the farm bill ultimately failed.
Reps. Thomas Massie of Kentucky and Earl Blumenauer of Oregon also sponsored the hemp farm bill amendment.

Molomo, M.G. (Routledge, http://www.informaworld.com, NaN, 2000)[more][less]
Abstract: This paper discusses the relationship between the ruling party and opposition parties in the struggle to capture political power in Botswana. It demonstrates the resilience of the multi-party framework that is founded on the basic principles of political freedom and civil liberty. Moreover, it explains how the poverty of ideology has presented a political landscape without any clear political alternatives. More concretely, it outlines the weaknesses of opposition parties, that they do not pose any serious challenge to the ruling party. However, in spite of their weaknesses, opposition parties have played a more constructive role in shaping the democratic process than has commonly been recognised. They have provided important checks and balances to make government more accountable and responsive to peoples' needs, yet they have not projected themselves as alternative governments.

Maundeni, Z. (The Botswana Society, NaN, 2008)[more][less]
Abstract: The Botswana government proposed to the national parliament the setting up of an enlarged intelligence agency known as the Directorate of Intelligence and Security. It drafted and published in the Government Gazette, an Intelligence and Security Service Bill which was placed before Parliament which deferred and later approved it. However, its passing brought to the surface deep seated mistrust between cabinet and the back bench. On the other hand and in line with the country's Vision 2016 roadmap, civil society organised debates in which academics, media practioners and parliament backbenchers questioned the necessity of the reforms, the structure of the proposed agency and the timing of the bill. Taking vision 2016 as a benchmark, this article critiques the Intelligence and Security bill and provides insight that could help future reforms. Its main argument is that the proposed Intelligence and Securrity Services bill Bill and Law contradict Vision 2016 in many fundamental ways. Its other argument is that the Bill and Law contradict the emerging trends in leading democracies in the region and abroad. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10311/680 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: This article is about the struggles of Batswana women to attain gender equality. The article traces women's exclusion from public decision-making much broadly as a fundamental feature of the Tswana patriachal structure. This situation tends to reinforce itself within the public sphere in terms of discriminatory legislation and other forms of marginalization. The favorable international climate and the institutionalizationof the women's movement are identified as some of the factors that have helped to bring about positive change. However, it is urged that in order for their marginalization to be effectively addressed, the focus of the women's movement should not be on increasing numbers per se, but on transforming institutions. Women representatives should be at the forefront of pushing this transformative agenda. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10311/986 Files in this item: 1

I liked it but, I've had it over 2 months & it won't stop shedding & balling up! Sooooo disappointed with that aspect that it ruins how much I like the rug colors & texture! Don't buy unless you want to deal with constant dust!
RECOMMENDED: No, I would not recommend this to a friend.Very nice rug. The colors are a little milder than the way it appeared on my screen, which is fine. Have received complements from people who have walked in the room. Looks wonderful on my warm wood floors!
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.I'm very happy with the rug. I've been shopping in modern home stores for a large striped rug and finding prices $2500+. This rug is a great deal, with quality that's probably better than the home stores. Color is very warm and rich, but not at all overwhelming.

Getting a great set of dentures is important for the health of your mouth and your overall level of happiness. In many cases, though, the cost of dentures can be nothing short of staggering. How can you find affordable dentures dentures that still offer real quality? This quick guide can help.
Dental discount plans are one good way to get the level of affordability you require. These don't work quite like an insurance plan does. At a fairly low annual fee, you get access to a network of dentists who agree to accept significantly less for each procedure. In most cases, the discount will be similar to that you might get with an insurance company, and they work for all procedures, not just cleanings and fillings. Shopping around means the best possible benefit.
Another good way to find cheaper dentures to consider a tax deduction. If your medical bills exceed 7.5% of your adjusted gross income, you can actually deduct them on your taxes. You'll have to chat with your accountant to make sure you qualify, but it's a solid way to save some cash if you had all of your dental work done within the same year.
In some states, programs like Medicaid may also be able to foot the bill for at least part of your dentures. While they won't typically cover all of your costs, it's a far better deal than you might get if you have to pay for them out-of-pocket.
Don't forget to talk to your dentist as well. In many cases, they offer discounts for patients who pay cash as well as affordable payment plans for those who can't swallow the entire expense at once. Some work through organizations like CareCredit and some have their own payment plans. Your dentist may be able to help in another way as well. Dentures don't always have to be placed all at once. You can sometimes get a better deal on a set of partials than you can on a full set of dentures, so that may be an option to you. Asking about what you can do to keep the costs down before you actually decide on one procedure or another is an absolute must.
Finally, don't forget to shop around. While one dentist may have a set for $1000, you could find the same level of quality down the street for a fraction of that. Many will be willing to discuss cash prices with you over the phone so you can get some idea of what it's going to cost. Keep in mind, however, that if you have insurance that will cover part of the cost, your dentist may not be able to quote you an exact figure because of the paperwork involved.
Fortunately, in Bastrop, there is one solid avenue – http://www.chadbyler.com, a premier resource for anyone looking for great dentures at the right price. Affordable dentures with Dr. Byler are just a phone call away with or without dental insurance.

Despite all the criticism, the board found no U.S. government employee had engaged in misconduct or ignored responsibilities and did not recommend any individual be disciplined.
Clinton, who is recovering from a stomach virus and concussion, ordered the review in the aftermath of the attack. Such reports are mandated by Congress when Americans working on behalf of the U.S. government are killed overseas.
A notice sent to State Department employees said the implementation team had met Tuesday and would continue to do so regularly to carry out the board's recommendations.
The politics surrounding the events that led to the report have claimed one political casualty, with Susan Rice, U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, last week pulling her name from consideration to succeed Clinton. Some Republican senators had said they would put a hold on her nomination if President Barack Obama had submitted it, based on comments Rice made in the days after the attack.
In place of Clinton, Deputy Secretaries of State William Burns and Thomas Nides will testify before the House and Senate committees Thursday.

I bought seasons 1 and 2 mid January, then 3 and 4 in Febuary and just a couple of weeks ago finished up season 5, such a cool show.
Season 1 was pretty sweet, then season 2 rocked. Season 3 seemed a little lame in comparison, but then it picked up over season 4 and season 5 was just pure awesome.
I wouldn't rate it up there with Sopranos and Six Feet Under but it's definitely worth watching and I think you can pick up the DVD's fairly cheap.
I've finished watching all of Californication too. Season 3 was fun, although a bit lacking with the overall story arc.
Last week I started watching Fringe, I think I've almost finished season 1. I watched some of this when it first aired on TV but couldnt quite get into it. So glad I gave it another shot because man it starts getting good 7 or 8 episodes in.
Breaking Bad season 3 starts soon... that should be pretty sweet.
The new episode of Lost. it was very good and featured some incredible acting from Michael Emerson. He deserves another emmy for this episode alone.
"My name is Giovanni Giorgio but everybody calls me...Giorgio.
I missed my episode of Human Target tonight. I had it thinking that it was Thursday all day yesterday. Now I have to buy the episode on the Zune Marketplace.
I would like to add that, regardless of the quality of the rest of the series, the 'Absolute Justice' episode of Smallville is arguably the best superhero show ever done on television, and definitely the best comic adaptation. The only flaw I could find in it is that I wish they'd given the Sandman a little more to do.
Also, with upcoming shows like the Song of Ice and Fire adaptation and Luck, the new show by David 'Deadwood' Milch (which has a killer cast so far, with names like Dustin Hoffman and Nick Nolte), HBO is starting to become really awesome again.

It seems I always find it difficult to choose the right solo sound, especially when the song is already finished (except for the solo) and I'm satisfied with it, I often become afraid of ruining it all with an inappropriate solo sound:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9415384/2012/24-Vinte%26%20Q%C3%BCatro.mp3 So, what do you think would work best for the solo -- a string, piano, distorted guitar, synth pad, or whatever type of sound?... or maybe even 2 different sounds alternating in different sections of the song? [If you wanna give it a try before you answer (but that's not necessary), it is in the C major scale , the verse is C all along and the refrain is: e,C,a,C (upper case=Major, lower case=minor)] Thanks! ---- |

A bit difficult to comment really as there is no clue as to what sort of lead line you want! Melodic? Dissonant?
'twer it me, I'd be thinking of a slow, simple, wandering square pad with lots of reverb to contrast with, and sit behind the busy backing. |

Something distorted, to contrast with the synth arpy bit there already, and the cleaner background chords...guitar ? or Imposcar type big rough sound.? |

Thanks, folderol and fateamenabletc...
I've tried folderol's square pad suggestion and it works nice. As for the second suggestion I've also tried that and it worked ok too. So, maybe I'll try to strategically alternate these too sounds. I will post the result here later. Thanks again for both suggestions, it was very helpful. ---- |

I flashed my 5500 to Sharp ROM 3.10.
It doesn't seem like my 5500 has enough RAM to run the golden apple. It starts up, then dies after a few seconds. system info shows little remaining RAM and the cache is small.
So, I installed Openzaurus because it has install ROM images that are partitioned to give one's choice for the amount of RAM.
I scp'd mypda over to the zaurus, logged in and ran ipkg install. Looks like it installed, except for a complaint about portmap.
I can't find the golden apple in the pages of apps.

i'm kind of disgusted at some of the builds i've seen.
My biggest complaint would be why people don't max out Heavy weight first, Getting one rank of fissure and slam, the reason for doing so is it gives you more burst damage the only catch is you have to be ontop of them
Since I get alot of critiscism on my skill build, Heres an elaborate review of why it's better.
Skill build.
Target Dual Position
All Other Units
Type: Magic
Range: 1,200
Cast Time: 1.2 Seconds
Mana Cost: 125 / 140 / 155 / 170
Cooldown: 15.0 Seconds
Required Level: 1 / 3 / 5 / 7
Deals 125 / 175 / 225 / 275 Magic Damage to each target in a line and stuns them for 1 / 1.25 / 1.5 / 1.75 second(s). Leaves impassable mound of terrain for 8 seconds.
Target Self
Cast Time: 1.0 Seconds
Mana Cost: 50
Cooldown: 7.0 Seconds
Required Level: 1 / 3 / 5 / 7
Applies Enraged to self for 14 seconds or until your next attack.
Enraged Effects
50 / 100 / 150 / 200% Base Damage
Causes the Behemoth to shake the earth with each spell he casts, dealing damage and stunning nearby opponents.
Required Level: 1 / 3 / 5 / 7
On spellcast
Deals 25 / 45 / 75 / 115 Magic Damage and stuns for 0.3 / 0.7 / 1.2 / 1.5 seconds in 280 radius around self.
The Behemoth slams the ground with all his might, causing a devastating shockwave around him. The shockwave ricochets off nearby enemies, effectively increasing the damage dealt based on the number of nearby enemy units.
Self Position
Enemy Units And Corpses
Type: Magic
Cast Time: 0.7 Seconds
Mana Cost: 145 / 205 / 265
Cooldown: 150.0 / 130.0 / 110.0 Seconds
Required Level: 6 / 11 / 16
Deals 200 / 275 / 350 Superior Magic Damage to enemy units in a 500 radius around self. Deals 35 / 45 / 65 additional Magic Damage for each additional enemy unit in range and 17.5 / 22.5 / 32.5 additional Magic Damage for each additional corpse in range.
This holds alot of contrevorsy, People always think maxing fissure is the best. When quite frankly, It's not. It's not even comparable.
Here's the skill build most people go by level 7
(4) Fissure
(0) Enrage
(2) Heavy weight
(1) Shockwave
The grand total of doing this damage correctly meaning your close enough for shock wave to activate is 560
The total stun time on the combo would be 2.0 seconds
This is not including bonus damage from creeps from ulti, just base damage and adding shock wave.
Now Using the correct Skill build from level 7
(1) Fissure
(1) Enrage
(4) Heavy weight
(1) Shockwave
The total for this combination would be 670
The total stun duration for this combo would be 4.5 seconds (not including fissures stun time cause it doesn't stack)
Once again not adding damage in for creeps, But it should be clearly evident why maxing heavy weight is just much more viable.
Then i see people getting phase boots instead of Striders and getting phase boots over portal key first.
I don't know every ones build but my personal is bottle first, striders, then roam till i get a portal key. How do you play behe?
Last edited by Apollexis; 03-29-2011 at 04:44 PM.
Fixed it: why are people (read the guy in the last game i played) so bad at playing behe.
QQ master gonna QQ
First of all, any player who always gets atriders is a noob. There isn't only one way to play a hero, and a bottle on him is just as bad. You max fissure followed by heavy weight, and you farm an arcane ring. This allows you to potentially fissure away at mid lane so I the three guys camping it can't push, giving you free farm for port key. Then procede to farm resto stone and gg.
Officially Retired
Peace the Fcuk out HoN. DotA is back!
"Refusing to concede with the intent to cause suffering amongst the team is against the rules and can be considered griefing"
- Gangstar
You won't have port key near fast enough. You have to be the initiator on behemoth, An arcane ring isn't bad but odds are your not in a lane were you can farm all that well, by the 20 minute mark you'll probally have boots and an arcane ring and half way to your portal key, were you could have your port key, half of your spell shards, bottle and striders.
And I didnt say striders on every hero, It's just really good with behemoth. Grab the runes every time their up, gank from level 3 or 5 depending on your hero comp, and just keep their carrys under control.
TL: dR, Portkey is more important then your arcane ring.

It is 2150 gold. A lot of money which for valk can be more then a 1/3 of a way towards a :FrostwolfsSkull: or 1/2 a way towards :GeometersBane:, something she would benefit from much more. And you can build her skill set so that u max Call and Leap first with 1 lvl in Javelin, since the stun is 5s on all levels, so you increase your mobility early game.
Getting it as a lux item, i could understand to an extent, but as core, is just unwise imo.
dodging stuns since March 2010
Updated first post on why you should max heavy weight first with 1 rank enrage and 1 rank fissure.
From recent games I've seen people just play him way to passively, Behe has to initiate the fight, your team just has to be ready to go in, when you see 3 + heroes stacked, tell your team to follow you immediately and go in with no hesitation, besides the fact behe can kill a whole team depending on creeps dead and present, your team can arrive in the 4.5 seconds of stun time you've providede to clean up after you. Even if you do die you've by far come out on top for your team.
Because as a level 7 Behemoth, walking up next to my target instead of using Fissure to stun and block them off for 6 seconds from running away from danger will clearly give me better results. LOL
Let me spell it out plain for you
Angry people complain about the things I do
I'm not changing direction, I'm stepping my game up
Maintaining my name, the same way I came up.
Truth is, I thought it mattered
I thought that music mattered.
But does it? Bollocks!
Not compared to how people matter.
Few points
1) I didn't say blocking wasn't viable.
2) Striders. If you can't come up from behind one of the enemy heroes with striders then you have bigger problems.
3) Block off a predator, and feed him a double kill. Blocking is not always the Most effecient option.
4) Runes, Invis, Haste. It seems almost self explanitory.
5) Your trying to feed your carry kills, you'd be a fool to be doing this stuff by your self
the skill build you have requires you to have an early pk or involves ganks that need very close proximity. Yes the damage outcome and stun is much greater but it's unlikely at lvl 7 you will always land those perfect stuns. 280 radius is really easy to avoid
1. so you advocate an inferior skill build for the best way a behe can contribute effectively. context, learn it.
2. striders do not change the position of the enemy hero.
3. context, learn it.
4. if you rely on the effects of a rune to put out a possible 100 more total damage out on one hero, that's a sign your build is ****.
5. context, learn it.

AFTER FOUR WINS last year, the St. Andrew's Episcopal School football team is looking for a stronger year in 2012. Head coach J.J. Plummer is optimistic that a run of bad luck will not faze the Saints this season. Last season, which Plummer called a "rebuilding year," yielded just four wins and seven losses. Plummer and his staff were hopeful that 2012 would be stronger because of the projected 16 to 18 experienced seniors that would be on the field, but that number has dwindled down to nine seniors.

Big rise in Dutch euthanasia deathsMichael Cook | 8 Oct 2012Just-released statistics for Dutch euthanasia in 2011 show that the number of psychiatric patients who died has skyrocketed from 2 in 2010 to 13 last year. Euthanasia for people with dementia also rose substantially, to 49.Swiss parliament rejects more regulation of assisted suicideMichael Cook | 28 Sep 2012The lower house of the Swiss parliament has declined to tighten controls on assisted suicide. MPs felt that self-regulation by groups like Exit and Dignitas was enough.New first for Belgium: prisoner euthanasiaMichael Cook | 16 Sep 2012No doubt about it: Belgium is the place to be for creative applications of legalised euthanasia. Last year Belgian transplant surgeons revealed that they had harvested organs from four people who were voluntarily euthanased. Now it appears that one prisoner, a rapist-murderer, has already died after voluntary euthanasia and another has requested it.Euthanasia denied to two paralyzed British menMichael Cook | 18 Aug 2012Two severely paralyzed British men have lost a High Court case to allow doctors to end their lives without fear of prosecution.Prosecute police, says Dignitas. They stopped our suicideMichael Cook | 17 Aug 2012The Swiss group Dignitas has filed a complaint against the Zurich prosecutor's office for interrupting an assisted suicide. On August 2, a 67-year-old woman suffering from a genetic disease who weighed only 35 kilos attempted to kill herself at a Dignitas clinic.American sailor jailed over assisted suicideMichael Cook | 15 Aug 2012Google "assisted suicide" on Google News and you can scroll through a number of current cases which have been discribed as "assisted suicide" or "mercy killing". As a particularly sordid example of how assisted suicide can be abused, consider the case of Gerard Curran and Paul Stephen Bricker, two American sailors living in Virginia.German government wrangling over assisted suicideMichael Cook | 15 Aug 2012A close friend should be allowed to help someone commit suicide, says the German Justice Minister, Sabine Leutheusser-Schnarrenberger. |

About Gold Necklaces at Ice
Why are gold necklaces so popular? Whatever the reason, women have been wearing them (with an attendant smile) for several thousand years, so we're talking some major staying power. Needless to say, gold necklaces have become a fashion staple, though only you can decide whether a yellow or white gold necklace is the staple for your own jewellery collection (to be on the safe side, why not one of each)?
No need to be a plain Jane in the gold necklace department. Baubles? Sure, we've got pearls and gemstones aplenty to add some extra glimmer to a gold necklace. And for a bit of whimsy we can serve up flowers or butterflies with a necklace too. You heart hearts? A gold heart necklace is just up your alley (and we have plenty). But we won't break your heart or your drain your bank account with our prices.

There's not much in this life I enjoy more than strolling and sniffing out the week's new treasures at an open-air market, careening from one deceivingly innocuous stall to another, only to find each brimming with seasonal jewels from the land and the sea. Market day, for me, is a colorful, remarkable and unabated pageant of optimism: displays of camaraderie, kinship, sharing, learning, connecting, giving—us earthlings at our best. One sweet bite of summer's first peach, one sip of apples, pressed into cider before your eyes, or simply an insider's tip to prepare that vegetable you've shied away from, you can't help but feel all warm-and-fuzzy about your farmer, your community, your family, your life.
It's the little things. It's always been about the little things for me. Whether under a sky blue canopy, early Sunday morning, along the verdant foothills of Northern California, or a bustling Wednesday afternoon within an 18th century village in the south of France, the anticipation of Market Day, along with its farmers, ranchers, and artisans, becomes woven into the fabric of our daily lives.
Whatever day of the week it lands on, I love knowing—with no uncertainty, it's always Market Day somewhere.

Yoga is a Sanskrit word, a belief and a way of disciplining one's mind and body. It is an old technique that originated in India where in it uses techniques or ways of exercise, breathing, and meditation. It was discovered that it can keep a person healthy and relieve stress. During the Classical period, the old or the classic yoga was initiated by person named Patanjali. It was said that the existence of yoga was around three thousand years before Christ. The stone seals proved that yoga really existed during this time because of the yoga positions engraved on the stone.
A person who is into practicing yoga is called a yogi. A man performing yogi is called yogin and a woman performing yoga is called yogini. During the Vedic period, somehow yoga has already been performed during this time because of their yogic teachings. The Vedas is an anthology of sacred hymns and they called their teaching as Vedic Yoga. Buddha started teaching Buddhism where it emphasized on meditation and also involved some yoga positions or poses. Siddharta Gautama attained his refinement at the age of 35 and he was the first Buddhist to learn about yoga.
During Patanjali's time, he wrote the Yoga Sutra to assimilate the classic yoga which is consists of 195 sutras. He affirmed that a person is melded with prakriti and purusha. Prakriti means matter and purusha means spirit. His belief was in opposition to the beliefs of Vedic and the pre classical yoga because he believed that matter and spirit should be separated in order for it to be absolved. Both the vedic and pre classical yoga believed that the body and spirit should be united into one. The yoga positions were almost forgotten because they were focused only in meditation but today yogis are now using the techniques to relax their mind and body. Today, the modern yoga has different techniques and principles they follow. A person named Swami Sivananda formulated some principles that we can follow regarding the new yoga such as absolute or proper relaxation, breathing, exercise, diet and meditation.
