Hands down the best vibrator I've ever used in my life. This thing is a beast! If you need a lot of stimulation, look no further. It's truly amazing.
My Magic Wand has been my longest-running relationship, no joke. It just started dying -- I think the cord wires are breaking -- but I've had this specific vibrator for over 20 years!! Not even kidding; I remember taking this to the Northwest when I used to work there, and that was in the early 90s.
Yes, it's loud. But it's also relentless in the best possible way! I've tried other vibrators over the years, and they're just too gentle. I came to this site today to purchase another Wand, and I had to share my review. This vibrator is in it for the long haul, and you'll be so happy it is.
I find this to be way too strong. As soon as I turned it on I knew I was in trouble. It has 2 settings: very strong and extra extra strong, and it is VERY loud to boot. It feels to me like a jacuzzi jet or a bath faucet running at full bore. I find that I can only leave it on my clittoris for about 30 to 60 seconds before I have to remove for a bit. It makes me feel numb pretty fast. Honestly, I prefer my hand. If you are sensitive to be vibrations this may not be for you. Really wished I had put my money elsewhere. It does seem like it may be good for a sore back, but it made even my back feel nerve-itchy and numb.
We owned an Aqua Rabbit for approximately 5 years until it suddenly died for no reason at all one day. Rather than going with another insertion toy, we decided to try the Magic Wand. It certainly did the job and would easily provide my wife with multiple orgasms. It is very noisy but that does not bother us since we live alone. The noise comes from the superior power that it provides. But even with the power of the Magic Wand, my wife enjoyed the insertion along with the vibrating ears of the Aqua Rabbit more. We have since purchased our 2nd Aqua Rabbit to replace the first one that died. I�m sure we will still use the Magic Wand from time-to-time but I don�t think it will get nearly as much use as the Aqua Rabbit.
If you've never been thrilled at the low-intensity vibrators that they sell at sex shops or generic websites, well then look no further. As you grasp your hands on the Magic Wand, you will never go back for this is an experience like no other. Though there are only two settings on this machine, even going past I is almost too much to handle. The machine head vibrates like crazy and with the right positioning, will make you go bananas. I have had mine for over three years and I can say, you never get tired of turning the machine on and going to town. This is known as the "Magic" wand for a reason because you will have contractions and moan like crazy as if it were magic giving you this amount of pleasure. The only complaint is the wire cord being a little too short but I purchased an extension and my dreams came true. YOU WILL NOT REGRET THIS PURCHASE!!!
My wife hates artificial things so it was difficult to get her to try the imposing wand. One winter morning I had her hold it between her legs and within less than 2 minutes she had a very strong orgasm that made her whole body quake! Thanks guys. You changed her mind and confirmed my research. This is a great toy!
I love this product. I had my first one for about 6 years and it just died on me now. I'd say that's pretty good & it works amazing. Even though it's not insertable it still stimulates so well! Best one I've bought so far! Purchasing another one now!
this massager is amazing. I love it as a body massager and when used as a clit stimulator.... WOW the orgasms are explosive. EXPLOSIVE. I can be thinking about anything and the orgasm will still cum....heh heh.
Vibrations are really strong. 'Slow' setting gives bigger amplitude, 'fast' setting gives speed. They feel completely different. Within a setting, head end gives softer vibrations, and head sides give very intense vibrations, this is how you can control it's strength. For now, I don't need any external dimmers for this vibrator, you can also use a towel to decrease intensity.
Also I had a chance to compare it to a fake one (which looks very similar externally) � the difference is critical!
I've recommended it to my friends and their girls, and we will experiment more :)
I bought the magic wand to use on my wife. I heard it was the best. We have been using a pocket rocket for years, which we still love, and I wanted to use a product with more power that will make my wife cum and squirt (of course i love to clean up the mess). I received the wand in the mail on Monday with plans to surprise her with it over the weekend. I wanted to test out the power, so I tried it on my chest, then pelvis, balls, and finally my penis. Oh wow! It felt super and the next thing I know I am shooting my load across the room. It felt great and can't wait to try it on my wife and will post an update. For me, i like the added topper. It softened the vib just enough and glided easier over my bits.

Austin, TX, United States, 2011/04/28 - Innovative program makes solar affordable and care-free for homeowners; also maximizes adoption of solar power statewide and supports Big Texas Sun Club®.
Green Mountain Energy Company is making it easy and affordable for residential customers in Texas to install solar arrays on their homes. The company today launched Renewable Rewards® Solar Lease to encourage the use of residential solar power across Texas.
Renewable Rewards Solar Lease provides a complete and easy solution that is perfect for customers interested in installing solar on their homes without paying high upfront costs or worrying about the ongoing care and maintenance of the equipment. said Paul Markovich, president, Residential Services, Green Mountain Energy Company. We help Green Mountain customers make financing, installation, service, support and maintenance of their solar arrays as easy as can be. Its a tangible and hassle-free way for Texas homeowners to support renewable energy and inspire more solar adoption in their communities.
Renewable Rewards® Solar Lease Program
The innovative offer consists of four distinct features that make the program unique:
1. A Flexible and Straightforward Lease that includes all installation and maintenance costs, and can be structured to meet the financial requirements of individual homeowners. Flexible terms avoid high up-front costs and offer affordable monthly payments that meet the financial requirements of the individual homeowner. The lease lasts 20 years, is fully transferable, and can be pre-paid at any time.
2. Care-Free Service that provides all installation, support and maintenance costs and services. The lease eliminates the hassles of ownership by covering all installation and equipment servicing costs, and warranties. It also includes a website that enables the homeowner to observe the amount of energy generated by the solar array in real-time.
3. A generous excess energy buy-back program. Once enrolled in the Green Mountain Renewable Rewards Buy-Back program, Solar Lease customers will be generously paid for excess energy they send to the electricity grid (see Renewable Rewards Buy-Back Program below).
4. An on-going Green Mountain contribution to the Big Texas Sun Club on behalf of the Renewable Rewards Solar Lease customer. Green Mountain will contribute $5 per month to the Big Texas Sun Club on behalf of every Renewable Rewards Solar Lease customer. Those funds are used to finance the installation of solar arrays on non-profit organizations across Texas. The contribution increases the impact of the Renewable Reward Solar Lease customer on the states adoption of solar in a meaningful and tangible way. The Big Texas Sun Club launched in 2002 and has installed nearly 30 solar arrays on non-profit organizations across Texas.
How to Enroll
Enrolling in the Renewable Rewards Solar Lease program is easy.
The homeowner calls Green Mountain to determine if their home is a potential site for solar power.
An on-site visit is then conducted at the home to learn more about the design of their home, energy usage and lifestyle.
A solar design and financing proposal is developed that reflects the homeowners individual energy and financial requirements.
Texas residents who want to learn about or enroll in Renewable Rewards Solar Lease can call 1-800-254-0949 or visit greenmountain.com/solar.
Criteria to Participate in Renewable Rewards Solar Lease program
The Renewable Rewards Solar Lease program is available to all current and future Green Mountain customers in Texas who meet the leasing program requirements and enroll in Renewable Rewards Buy-Back program (See requirements below).
Renewable Rewards Buy-Back Program
Green Mountains Renewable Rewards Buy-Back program is available to all current and future Green Mountain customers in Texas who generate solar and wind electricity at their homes and rewards them for all excess energy that their qualifying facility sends to the electricity grid. For the first 500 kilowatt hours (kWh) per month of excess energy, Green Mountain pays the same per kWh rate as the Renewable Rewards electricity rate for the power that a home uses. For any excess energy beyond 500 kWh per month, the buy-back rate is reduced by 50 percent. The Renewable Rewards electricity product is made from 100% Texas wind and has no term commitment.
Green Mountain Energy Company
Green Mountain (GreenMountain.com), the nations leading competitive retail provider of cleaner energy and carbon offset solutions, was founded in 1997 to change the way power is made. The company is the longest serving green power marketer in the U.S. Green Mountain offers consumers and businesses the choice of clean electricity products from renewable sources, such as wind, as well as a variety of carbon offset products. Green Mountains largest customer is the worlds most famous office building, the Empire State Building in New York City. Green Mountain customers have collectively helped avoid over 11.3 billion pounds of CO2 emissions. As a wholly owned subsidiary of NRG Energy, Green Mountain is back by one of the nations largest renewable power producers.

I am 4 1/2 weeks post op from a tummy tuck, lipo, and breast aug. The first time I removed my binder after surgery I was thrilled with my results- even though I knew they were still in progress. Well progressively over the past month the area that was lipo'd (my love handles) looks just as it did before surgery. I know that swelling occurs, but this area doesn't feel swollen and looks just as it did before. Is it possible for them to have come back that fast?

Worried that no enough fat was removed with liposuction
Swelling of the lower portion of the abdomen is very common after an abdominoplasty. I would not get to anxious at this point. I usually do not begin to even judge the result until 3 months after surgery.

Mommy makeover and liposuction swelling
You are in the VERY early post op period for a tummy tuck and liposuction. The love handles when liposuctioned can appear to still be there but this is probably just your body filling the liposuctioned areas with blood/serum/scar (internal healing process).
Be patient. Your love handle areas are probably hard and somewhat tender indicating that these areas will continue to improve with time as the absorption of your body's healing process in these "pockets" contiinues.

You are too early to worry. Swelling occurs and magnifies with salt intake. Know the salt content of everything you eat or drink and keep it below 1500 a day. Weigh yourself daily and be sure you do not gain weight. Know your pre op weight. Don't gain weight. In 3 months you should show on the scale all the weight the surgeon removed. If you do not do this, and if you gain weight you will be less happy with your result. At 3 months you need to be less than your pre op weight by the amount the surgeon removed. If you want a great result you must reflect this on the scale and then match this by your own weight loss. Example is if you weighed 160 before the surgery and the surgeon removed 10 lbs you must be 150 at 3 months. This is called scale reflection. To have a super result you must then match this and end up 140 at 6 to 9 months post op. Good luck. My Best, Dr C

Based on your photographs, you have a good result from the surgery. The swelling takes 4-6 month to come down. Be patient if you can. Keep your appointments with your surgeon. All the best

BEIJING — Abortions of female fetuses are expected to leave China with 24 million more men than women over the next decade, according to a study that warns the imbalance will dash many young men's chance at marriage and lead to increased crime.
China enforces strict family planning controls, including limiting most couples to having one child. Because of a traditional preference for male heirs, many families terminate pregnancies of girl babies in order to be able to continue trying for a boy. Infanticide of baby girls has also become a problem.
The study reported by the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences in Chinese state media this week, specifically said such preferences were behind the ballooning imbalance.
China has banned tests to determine gender, but they are still commonly done, mainly by underground private clinics in the countryside.
The report said the male-female ratio at birth in China was 119 males to 100 females, with the gap as high as 130 males for every 100 females in some provinces. In industrialized countries, the ratio is 107 to 100.
The report is similar to other studies in recent years that warn of serious social problems because of the gap.
The official Global Times newspaper quoted researcher Wang Guangzhou as saying men with lower incomes would have trouble finding spouses in rural areas, leading to crime problems. The newspaper also said abductions and trafficking of women were widespread in areas with excess numbers of men.
The CASS study mirrors a report published last April in the BMJ, formerly known as the British Medical Journal, that said China has 32 million more young men than young women because parents facing strict birth limits abort female fetuses to have a son.
China imposed strict birth controls in the 1970s. The government says the controls have prevented an additional 400 million births in the world's most populous country of 1.3 billion.

Jabra Supreme Is the First Mono Bluetooth Headset with Active Noise Cancellation

I am looking forward to seeing how this one turns out. I used to love the "flip boom on/off" feature of the Motorola handsets. It made it so easy to know and save battery. Everything else about them paled in comparison to Plantronics and Jawbone though.
September 21, 2011, 9:11 am

A New Scheme for Static Hedging of European Derivatives under Stochastic Volatility Models
This paper proposes a new scheme for static hedging of European path-independent derivatives under stochastic volatility models. First, we show that pricing European path-independent derivatives under stochastic volatility models is transformed to pricing those under one-factor local volatility models. Next, applying an efficient static replication method for one-dimensional price processes developed by Takahashi and Yamazaki[2007], we present a static hedging scheme for European path-independent derivatives. Finally, a numerical example comparing our method with a dynamic hedging method under the Heston[1993]'s stochastic volatility model is used to demonstrate that our hedging scheme is effective in practice.

The most common cause for panniculitis is infection; however, disorders in the connective tissue or pancreas, a deficiency of Alpha-antitrypsin and such physical factors as trauma and the cold can also cause outbreaks. Idiopathic panniculitis is sometimes called Weber-Christian disease, notes Merck Manuals.Continue Reading
Panniculitis refers to swelling of the fat beneath the skin. Tender nodules form under the skin over the extremities as well as over the abdomen, face, buttocks, breast or posterior thorax. Less commonly, nodules can affect the lungs, cranium and scrotum. In addition to panniculitis, patients often develop signs of inflammation at the systemic level, such as fever and organ dysfunction. Hepatic, bone marrow and pancreatic insufficiency can all result, and insufficiency in the bone marrow is possibly fatal, as stated by Merck Manuals.
People suffering from these nodules submit to a clinical evaluation and, if the doctor suspects panniculitis, a biopsy of the subcutaneous swelling to find the cause. No specific treatment exists to fight panniculitis, although a hybrid of treatments, including antimalarial drugs, anti-inflammatories, thalidomide and dapsone, have all produced moderate success. Corticosteroids and other chemotherapeutic or immunosuppressive drugs have worked with patients either showing a systemic condition or progressive symptoms, according to Merck Manuals.Learn more about Skin Conditions

By Crime Reporter
TWO elderly women have been arrested and appeared in court after they allegedly fell from a winnowing basket during a witchcraft act.
After the arrest, Chinhoyi magistrate Fanny Nyakudya has ordered Rosemary Kamanga (49) and Esnath Maodza (52), both of Shackleton compound about 20 kilometres outside Chinhoyi, to be medically examined to ascertain their mental stability.
They were charged with contravening Section 98 of the Criminal Law (Codification and Reform) Act Chapter 9:23 pertaining to "engaging in practices commonly associated with witchcraft" on Wednesday.
Nyakudya remanded the two women in custody to June 27 to allow them time to be examined by a State medical doctor.
Public prosecutor Clarence Majongosi told the court that the pair stormed Eneresi Mufunga's hut on June 11 at around 3am after allegedly falling off their winnowing basket ( rusero).
Mufunga claimed she was awakened by Kamanga's strange screams at her doorstep.
The court heard that Kamanga was calling out her other colleagues, beckoning them to bring back the basket.
Kamanga continued crying in a child-like voice, saying their alleged accomplice, identified as Muzeza, had taken with her all the human flesh they had collected prior to the "accident."
After witnessing the weird scene, Mufunga allegedly sprinkled some "holy" water on Kamanga and stopped her trance-like theatrics.
The prosecutor also told the court that Watek Matshuma, a Shackleton resident, met Maodza shouting and screaming in a child-like voice while scratching the ground behind a toilet.
The court heard that Maodza said they had been involved in an accident with their "winnowing basket" and Muzeza had left them behind.
Maodza said she was searching for the "winnowing basket" which they were using as transport.
Both women were scantily dressed in worn-out kilts.

ST. PETERSBURG — Despite a still-rocky economy, Gov. Charlie Crist said Monday he'll push for an increase in Florida's education budget.
Crist, who is running for U.S. Senate, is recommending a $22.7 billion budget for pre-K through 12, with an increase in per-pupil spending from $6,870 to $7,045.
"It's all about education, and it's all about you," Crist told 220 students in the cafeteria at Bay Vista Fundamental Elementary School, where he made his budget announcement.
But Crist's education budget proposal is built on some big ifs.
It includes $433 million from a gambling deal with the Seminole Tribe of Florida, which lawmakers have yet to warm to. And it's not clear what other parts of the state budget may be on the chopping block to cover an expected shortfall of $1.1 billion to $3.2 billion.
"His budget is killing me," said Sen. Stephen Wise, R-Jacksonville, who chairs the Senate education appropriations committee. "Where is he getting his money?"
It is ultimately the Legislature that cobbles the budget together. And Wise said Senate leaders have told him to plan for an education budget that is $800 million in the hole.
He said it's more realistic for the Legislature to shoot for a budget that maintains last year's funding levels.
The specifics about Crist's education budget were sketchy Monday. Details about the rest of his budget aren't expected to surface until later this week.
Crist's budget includes no new taxes or fees. But as they did last year, Crist and lawmakers will be able to plug in hundreds of millions of dollars in federal stimulus money.
Crist also noted the state has $2 billion more in revenue this year than it did last year. "We're fortunate," he told reporters. "For the first time since I've been governor, we actually have more revenue coming into the state treasury than years past."
More specifically, Crist proposed:
• A $44.8 million increase to the state's voluntary prekindergarten program.
• Restoring the $100-per-student bonus in the school recognition program, which rewards schools that earn high grades from the state. (The bonus had been cut to $75 per student over the past two years.)
• Elimination of the $2,000 cap on bonuses to advanced placement and International Baccalaureate teachers. (They get $50 for each student who passes a standardized AP or IB exam.)
Crist's budget director, Jerry McDaniel, said the governor's budget does not pass more education spending on to local school districts — and picks up about $650 million that districts would lose because of falling property values.
By law, the state sets a property tax rate for school districts. And until last year, it had forced districts to pay a bigger portion of the state education budget eight years in a row.
"I would think that school boards generally would be pleased" with this year's proposal, McDaniel said.
But Wise said the governor's budget is too optimistic. He said the districts' share is likely to go up again, for a simple reason: "I don't have any other revenue."

Those signs around ballparks that tell fans to keep an eye out for foul balls are there for a reason.
Two guys sitting in the front row for Tuesday night's Tampa Bay Rays-Baltimore Orioles game at Tropicana Field did not heed that warning, and it almost resulted in one of them taking a Steve Pearce foul ball straight to the dome.
As Pearce's foul screamed toward the Orioles' dugout, everyone — players and fans alike — scattered for cover. Except, that is, for our two friends here in the pink and white, who just kept on chatting as the line drive made a beeline right for them.
Luckily for both of their faces, the ball somehow split the inches-wide gap between them, preventing what could have been a very nasty situation at The Trop.

Hi everyone!
This past summer, I participated in YHC's Summer Session for the second time. The program usually runs from mid-June to mid-July, and it's a great way for returning students to stay ahead on credit hours and improve their GPA. It can also be beneficial to freshmen who want to experience the college lifestyle a little early, get acclimated with the campus and dive in to classes.
I chose to enroll in summer classes so I could lighten my load a little during the normal academic year. YHC is known for their small class sizes and professors who truly care about their students, and this is exemplified even more during Summer Session.
During my first Summer Session in 2012, I enrolled in "Elementary Spanish II" and "Introduction to the Solar System." My Spanish class had only two other people in it. I was able to ask all of the questions I needed to in order to understand the material, and our professor was extremely accommodating to our needs since there were so few of us in the class. It was truly the ideal learning environment because we got so much extra attention.
In my astronomy class, we had several outdoor labs at the YHC Observatory located at Brasstown Valley Resort. Since it was summertime, we were able to view an entirely different set of constellations than the students who took the course in the fall or spring—another unique experience for Summer Session students.
I recently took "Intermediate Spanish I" and "Introduction to Human Communication." Both classes had fairly small class sizes, and my professors were willing to go above and beyond to ensure we understood the course information.
Since Summer Session at YHC is only a month long, it can be fairly fast paced. I wouldn't recommend taking more than six credit hours since it's such a short amount of time, but the experience as a whole is definitely worth it. In addition to classes, the program offers students a rare opportunity to explore campus and the local community during the quiet of summer.
On the first day of Summer Session, every student gets a T-shirt and a list of activities the College has planned for students while they are on campus. This year's activities included a free wing night at a local restaurant, a ticket to the Taste of Southern Highlands (a local tasting event to raise money for charity), several free movie nights and even a trip to see the Atlanta Braves play!
During this time, the campus generally has a more relaxed feel. The campus is less crowded, so it's a great time to get to know other students and make new friends. One of my absolute favorite things to do after class was go out on Lake Chatuge on my boyfriend's boat. It was a nice way to unwind in between going to class and studying. I even learned how to wakeboard this summer!
YHC Summer Session was one of my favorites times at the College, and I highly recommend it to new and returning students. It's a great way to get ahead on credit hours and, trust me, it certainly can improve your GPA. You never know what rare and exciting opportunities Summer Session has to offer because each year is different.
Until next week,

Electrical Questions? Ask an Electrician Online.
Hello, and welcome to JA!!
Have you tried plugging the fridge into another outlet? You may have to use a short extension cord
Hi, yes I did and it the outlet I plugged it into, "stopped working" and I had to press the reset button. Not sure on the technical terms -
That is a GFCI outlet
how old is the house and how old is the fridge?
the house is six years old and the fridge is also six years old
I did reset the circuit breaker and it worked for about four minutes before it shut off again
I know this is not what you want to hear, but you have a faulty fridge. You will need to have an appliance repair person take a look at it
this is not an electrical problem
so there is nothing I can do in the interim
Probably not. The most likely culprit is a bad compressor motor
is that typical for a six year old fridge?
No. But it does happen.
ok, thanks
Wish I had better news for you
me too
but at least now you know which way to go
Please dont forget to rate my service, and thanks for using JA!!
Please let me know if I can assist further

The Last Putt: Two Teams, One Dream, and a Freshman Named Tiger (Hardcover)
Two Teams, One Dream, and a Freshman Named Tiger
Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 9780618840045, 368pp.
Publication Date: April 1, 2010
College golf is the breeding ground for the PGA, and the sport's overlooked chapter. And in 1995 college golf saw its ultimate showdown. At the NCAA championship, a freshman who would become the sport's biggest icon stood on the green in a sudden-death playoff that would settle the score in a tense and heated rivalry. Would Tiger Woods sink the putt?
Based on exhaustive reporting and interviews, The Last Putt tells the story of an epic rivalry that encapsulated the changing face of the game. On one side was Oklahoma State, a true golfing dynasty featuring the young bloods of a privileged golf family and a coach whose winning record and reputation for toughness made him a mythical figure. On the other side was Stanford, born of the creative recruiting of an unforgettable group of players: Notah Begay (golf's first prominent Native American), Casey Martin (who broke down barriers by playing with a severe disability), and Tiger Woods.
A stirring ensemble tale of young men carving out their futures on and off the course, The Last Putt makes for compelling, stroke-for-stroke reading down to the last putt.

As you may already know, David Lang, our Zero to Maker columnist, is involved in the OpenROV project, an open source camera-equipped R/C submersible, designed to look for water-burired treasure. They're taking the ROV prototypes up to Hall City Cave in Northern, CA tomorrow for some preliminary dives. How exciting!

True Believers?
The vibe right now around this team is only slightly better than it was when they were down 3-0 last season against Miami. Completely different circumstances, of course, but there is still the palpable sense that the end is near. There isn't any talk about how getting it to a Game 7 would be a lot easier than getting it to a Game 6, should they do so tonight. There isn't a sense they can survive the series.
But you try to get the closest, on-the-record gauge you can as to what they're really feeling. You wonder aloud what the past two fourth quarters have done to their confidence level. You hope to extract something acknowledging a hit. You listen. You learn that the truth will only come out when it's over.
"We are still a confident team," Vince Carter said this morning at shootaround. "It's not like we don't know what's the problem or where the breakdown is. We understand we didn't execute and didn't do what we needed to get the win. For us to win games, we have those two turnovers, whatever, game-changing mistakes late in the game, one mistake can be the cause of the game.
"That is how playoff basketball goes. It is not like the regular season. It is a little different. A little more on the line. We understand that. And that is why we are still a confident team. We know we are right there. You just have to eliminate some of those things to beat good teams."
The Heat are a little freer with their emotions, as evidenced by the Dwyane-Payton sideline undercard in the first round.
Pat Riley, in fact, simply owns up to the doubts he had about his team in the regular season, when they couldn't stop anybody on the defensive end.
"We always have doubts. Everybody," Riles aid. "I'm an Irish Catholic pessimist. I always thought that the worst was going to happen. Sometimes my players reflect that on me too, they say, 'Coach, we don't need to hear that today. We want to win.'
"But you always have doubts. Players have doubts. And I think that's what creates the faith. If the team that keeps faith in each other and you go through the tough times and you win games, it creates a bond."
Some other sinking feelings (Hey, it's raining here in Miami)…
Anyone else out there think Shaq still has a 30-20 game in him? This would be the time to rise to the occasion, with a chance to close out the Nets tonight on the Heat's home floor. We think Shaq may step up the aggression a tad more, with the whistles possibly a little more reluctant to blow given the circumstances.
Whatever happens with O'Neal, credit Jason Collins for having a very good series on the Big Fella. He's gotten better and smarter on him, by making it less about strength. He also didn't have any help from Cliff Robinson the last two games.
"I think it's just a matter of me getting more comfortable guarding him," Twin said. "The first time I played against him was in the Finals my rookie year. And there's a difference between watching somebody play on TV and then actually going out and playing against him, learning what they like to do out on the court, what's effective in guarding them, trying to make it tougher on them.
"I'm kind of used to him. Like when he wants to do a spin out. He's only gotten one this series on the baseline spin. I remember first playing against him, it was hard to gauge when that move was coming. So it's just a matter of experience and playing against him all the time."

The Monterey County Office of Education on Wednesday is releasing the 2012 Monterey County Education Report to the Community, an attempt to paint a more complete picture of local student achievement.
The 16-page report is full of charts, statistics and other data used to rank schools and districts based on federal and state educational goals. The report will be inserted in local newspapers this week, including The Herald. The report will be available at other locations and on MCOE's website, and is also included below.
The report was funded with private donations, said county spokeswoman Marci McFadden. It cost about $10,000 to produce.
In addition to highlighting 10 years of growth in the schools — and their consistent achievement gap with the rest of the state — the report showcases local partnerships helping boost achievement, such as Monterey County Reads and the Carmel Authors & Ideas Festival.
"It is the intent of this report to help you better understand the progress of public education in Monterey County, and how the community can work together to support the education of all students," Superintendent of Schools Nancy Kotowski wrote in the introduction.
The report's timing has nothing to do with the coming election, McFadden said. On the Nov. 6 ballot are two tax measures whose proceeds are earmarked to keep education funding intact.
"Our intent was to have it out sooner," McFadden said. But the California Department of Education, which produces data in the report, delayed publishing many test scores because of breaches in testing security.
The report is available in Spanish on Oct. 12 on the MCOE website.

Grand Junction teenager Ryan Patterson, who has taken top honors in the nation's most prestigious science competitions, is planning to announce his college choice at 4 p.m. today.
Patterson is visiting the University of Colorado at Boulder with his parents, Randy and Sherry Patterson, and two friends who will be attending CU-Boulder in the fall. They will spend the day looking at housing options and meeting privately with faculty and staff at the College of Engineering and Applied Science, where he is considering enrolling in the electrical engineering program.
The 18-year-old has indicated plans to announce his decision at the end of the visit. Reporters and photographers are invited to be present for the announcement, to be made in the Administrative Offices of the Engineering Center on Regent Drive.
Patterson won first prize at the 2002 Siemens Westinghouse Science and Technology Competition, the 2002 Intel Talent Search and the 2001 Intel Young Scientist competition, for his invention of a glove that translates American Sign Language into written words on a computer.
He also won the 2001 Glen Seaborg Nobel Prize Visit and has been named a Boettcher Scholar. Forbes named Patterson first on its High-Tech Teenage All-America Team, and he has been featured on Good Morning America, National Public Radio and other national media.
Accompanying his awards are thousands of dollars in scholarships, which allow him to attend the school of his choice. He also has been considering Stanford University.

Anyone watch this show? It is usually co-hosted by actor Stanley Tucci, with the aid of a pair of wine experts. The rest of the panel is 3-4 other celebrities, usually one actor, one musician, and one chef/restauranteur. The performers don't necessarily know the first thing about wine. The discussion of the wine itself is predictably obtuse (a "sincere" wine?- and no, someone wasn't mispronouncing Sancerre) but there ARE things to be learned. The episode with Nora Ephron and John Lithgow had an interesting discussion about cooking for oneself. On another, Nathan Lane had a great throwaway line about Pinot envy that I'd like to believe was an adlib and not something he'd been waiting to use. I'll cop to thinking that a great deal of the wine to-do is emperor's new clothes folly, like Maximilian Riedel's assertion that every type of wine requires a different glass.
Yesterday Joe Bastianich was one of the guests, and opined that wine glass charms should be banished, without explaining his reasoning. He was condescending to the actress seated next to him. She said she was able to enjoy run-of-the-mill wines and was therefore not keen to learn a whole lot more, since it would ruin the ordinary wines for her. He stated that the au courant viewpoint that people should drink what they enjoy without regard to quality or pairings is a load of %*&#. Enjoy a cheap wine, whatever, but there are people who know good wine from bad, and he is one of them. That's surely true, but there are also people who know good manners from bad, and he is NOT one of THEM.

It's been quite a week for Queens of the Stone Age concerts.
After frontman Josh Homme took a stage-crasher to task in Florida, an onstage tirade in Houston, Texas, found the singer taking aim at a litany of targets including band Imagine Dragons and the GRAMMYs during an F-bomb-riddled rant.
"This next song is by Imagine Dragons," Homme joked before performing "I Appear Missing," a track from QOTSA's latest album, …Like Clockwork, at Houston's Bayou Music Center this past Sunday night (Feb. 9). "Just f**king kidding. You gotta admit, you're all imagining dragons right now…You know, f**k everything, f**k the man, f**k Imagine Dragons, f**k the Grammys, f**k all this sh**."
While Homme has been known to hurl sarcastic comments both onstage and during interviews, he rarely points his barb so directly. It can be assumed that his ire at Imagine Dragons stems from QoTSA song "My God is the Sun" losing the Best Rock Performance GRAMMY award to Imagine Dragons' breakout hit, "Radioactive."
Watch the expletive-filled clip of the moment below.
Many have assumed that the GRAMMYs slam was a response to Queens of the Stone Age's show-closing performance at this year's ceremony being cut short due to television time restraints. Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails, also involved in the performance, immediately lashed out about the "disrespectful" move by the Grammys, firing off of his own f-bomb at the industry institution (GRAMMY Executive Producer Ken Ehrlich subsequently apologized to Reznor).
As news of Homme's Houston tirade began to spread, a Twitter account "@F**kJoshHomme" quickly appeared (tagline: "f**K everything), deriding everything from tables to USB dongles to magnets. Thanks, internet.
QOTSA have one more American date, Feb. 13 in Las Vegas, before jetting down under for an Australian tour with Nine Inch Nails. The band will return to the States in April, playing both weekends of the Coachella festival before embarking on more U.S. dates, including a stop at Alabama's Hangout Festival.

A total of 98 people were arrested as part of an undercover prostitution investigation in Polk County targeting human trafficking suspects.
Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd says the four-day investigation targeted websites where suspects were advertising prostitution and were soliciting others for prostitution.
Among those arrested is 44-year-old Michael Johnson, a former Orlando Police officer, who allegedly attempted to recruit the undercover officer to engage in prostitution with clients he would locate for a profit; A Cape Coral woman, 30-year-old Amber Gonzalez, allegedly brought a 15-year-old girl from Miami to have sex as a couple with an undercover male officer; and 31-year-old Jamohn Mack of Orlando allegedly solicited his wife 34-year-old Magaret Obasi for sex to an undercover detective for profit.
"We have found a direct nexus between prostitution and human trafficking – forcing a juvenile to commit lewd acts with adult men for financial gain is something we will not tolerate," Sheriff Judd said.
Charges range from Offering to Commit Lewdness in which the suspects either posted online ads, or answered online ads; to Aiding and Abetting Prostitution; Deriving Proceeds from Prostitution; Possession of Illegal Drugs; Child Abuse by Neglect; Felony Battery; Resisting; Traffic Offenses; and Violation of Probation.

IT's Henry Ford who is attributed as saying 'Whether you think you can do a thing, or think you can't, you're right'.
Which is basically saying that our mindset towards a challenge will often determine whether or not we succeed at something.
I was reminded of that attitude while watching the closing ceremony of the Paralympics.
I bet most of those athletes have been told at some point in their lives that they would never achieve their goal.
But by taking the 'can do' attitude they proved the doubters wrong.
And there's a lesson in that for all of us, able-bodied or otherwise.

I been playing since walking dead. I couldn't find anyone to confirm. Can you make choices like you would in walking dead about who lives or dies in your crew. Do you have the same kinda choices that matter?
2 Comments - Linear Discussion: Classic Style
No. There's one pretty basic moral choice at the end, but the rest of it is pretty tightly scripted. Good story though.
Yeah, there is only a single moral choice to make in the entire game, and it is right at the very end, and the choice you make affects which of two (possibly three) endings you get.
So yeah, this game is a bit different from the Walking Dead in that regard. Not totally dissimilar action segments, though.

LXer: High-Availability Storage With GlusterFS On Debian Lenny
Published at LXer:
This tutorial shows how to set up a high-availability storage with two storage servers (Debian Lenny) that use GlusterFS. Each storage server will be a mirror of the other storage server, and files will be replicated automatically across both storage servers. The client system (Debian Lenny as well) will be able to access the storage as if it was a local filesystem. GlusterFS is a clustered file-system capable of scaling to several peta-bytes. It aggregates various storage bricks over Infiniband RDMA or TCP/IP interconnect into one large parallel network file system. Storage bricks can be made of any commodity hardware such as x86-64 servers with SATA-II RAID and Infiniband HBA.

Most of my readers know by now that I live in a military town. Our church is full of modern-day heros who have sacrificed to keep us free as a nation. I've written 10 Reasons I Love Our Military Families previously. Today is a day to remember all that took place, honor the fallen. Hundreds of fire, police and medical personnel, along with hundreds from our nation and others died on 9/11. I heard today that 90 countries were represented in the deaths on 9/11.
In a military community, the remembrance takes on a deeper meaning, because that day changed how many in our community have lived these last 10 years. In our church alone, we have several widows, several parents who have lost children, and hundreds of families who have spent more time separated more than together, because of the events of 9/11. There have been 603 lives lost this far into the war on terror from our community.
This week, as we remembered the events of 911, three of our brave soldiers were interviewed. Here's is the short interview we shared today.
Please pray for our military and families and for our nation! Please continue to remember those who serve, our military, as well as our police, fire and emergency personnel. Thanks for all you do!

Just give us the game back
DAVE GOODSON | 8/24/2011, 10:28 a.m.
Working in tandem with the charitable component is the educational aspect of the program. As veteran sports figures, the organization's members are well versed in the trappings that go along with the riches younger athletes are blessed with.
"A lot of people are not going to like us, but so what. A lot of people are getting paid that shouldn't be getting paid, and we're going to expose them. We plan to educate young athletes as well as their parents about what questions they should ask, how to run background checks, etc. We also will teach them about being responsible. You're a top 2 percent earner in the world-of course there will be some self-indulgence. But you can't drive all those cars. You can't live in all those houses. We give so much of our power away. Those wasted funds can go back into our communities," Howard concludes.
Now my Sundays will have a different viewpoint.
Also this weekend, the memory of two powerful brothers are being recognized.
The USTA's Arthur Ashe Kids' Day presented by Hess kick-off ceremony is Saturday, Aug. 27 from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Families can experience an exciting schedule of free tennis games, live music and attractions taking place all over the grounds of the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center. Appearing this year will be Diggy Simmons, and Carmelo Anthony and his wife La La will serve as co-hosts. Stadium show tickets are on sale now through Ticketmaster (1-866-OPEN-TIX), usopen.org and the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center box office.
Then there's the BIG one. The Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Dedication in Washington, D.C. If you can't attend, TV One will offer live coverage from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., anchored by TV One's "Washington Watch with Roland Martin" host and managing editor Roland Martin along with Sirius XM radio host Joe Madison and Art Fennell, executive producer and host of "Art Fennell Reports" on the Comcast Network.
TV One's coverage will include the best of the pre-dedication concert, expected to include performances by Mary Mary; the Ebenezer Baptist Church Choir; the Richard Smallwood Choir with Vanessa Williams; the Morehouse College Glee Club; Mary Chapin Carpenter; Mary Gurley (who sang at Dr. King's funeral service); Bernice Johnson Reagon; Ann Nesby; hip-hop violinist Miri Ben-Ari; and Poemcees; plus excerpts from Dr. King's "I've Been to the Mountaintop" speech delivered the day before he was assassinated.
The lineup will also include coverage of the week's events, including the Civil Rights Pioneers Luncheon, the Message in the Music concert of civil rights era music, the Women Who Dare to Dream luncheon, honoring female civil rights leaders, and the Celebration Dream gala. In addition, TV One will feature interviews with civil rights leaders and other celebrities taped during the week's events, plus live interviews with visiting dignitaries, celebrities and special guests onsite. TV One's live coverage will conclude with the formal dedication ceremony with expected participation by President Barack Obama.
What makes this even better is that TV One is now available to Cablevision customers.
I'm out. Hope your weekend will be solid as a rock! Peace, Nicholas Ashford. Holla next week. 'Til then, enjoy the nightlife.

On Monday's The Oprah Winfrey Show, 13-year-old Prince and 12-year-old Paris Jackson talked publicly for the first time about their late father, Michael Jackson.
The eldest children of the King of Pop said they didn't mind going out in public wearing face masks and veils. In fact, their grandmother Katherine Jackson tells Winfrey that the disguises were first suggested by Debbie Rowe, their biological mother.
When we did go out without our dad, other people wouldn't recognize us," Paris said. "He tried to raise us without [us] knowing who he was, but that didn't go so well."
While Paris and Prince are now enrolled in regular school, their 8-year-old brother Blanket is still home-schooled. Paris told Winfrey of her hopes to be an actress, and Prince said he wants to be a movie producer.
When asked how their world-famous dad – who died of an overdose at age 50 on June 25, 2009 – was misunderstood, Paris said,
I kinda felt like no one understands what a good father he was. I'd say he was the best cook ever. He made the best French toast in the world. He was just a normal dad, except he was the best dad."

This evening we review the market action for the day. We also take a look at Apple and Amazon in honor of Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
Black Friday
All the retailers are poised and ready and starting even earlier this year on Thanksgiving evening. Apple has had a good two day run and Amazon has really been pushing also with more all time highs. Apple actually closed at its highest level since January 2, 2013.
There is a little more coming in both of these but Amazon is topping and Apple is topping in an intermediate rally of an overall bear move. In the video I call this a declining wedge, but in reality it is a "rising wedge", which is bearish, which means prices will eventually break down out of this wedge and decline.
Turkey Day
Well you knew it was holiday time when the volume was the slowest since August 26. So everyone here in the states is gearing up for Thanksgiving. We will be having dinner at my daughter's home with her in-laws, should be fun. Dinner, then Dallas Cowboys football game, then dessert at half-time…I'm getting hungry already.
And then the day after Thanksgiving…
Now I have to go to work. Boxes come out of the attic and I have to assemble the tree (artificial but beautiful/pain in the &**%) decorate and put up lights on the outside of the house. Ok, I could probably do this in my sleep, but these are great traditions for us and I love it. And on top of that, we are actually getting cold weather to put us in the mood.
So, I would like to wish everyone a very Happy Thanksgiving holiday! We all have a lot to be thankful for. Drop me a note and share your Thanksgiving traditions. On to the video…

For most, a 1 to 2 week vacation is just enough time to be annoying lugging a 3 lb. laptop and the perfect time to carry the iPad. The iPad marketplace is loaded with travel apps that can do everything from describing the local scene to translating a phrase for that overzealous haggler on Khao San Road.
Here is our recommendations for must have iPad apps while on the go.
Tripadvisor – Hands down the largest travel community on the Web, Tripadvisor packs its apps with more than 45 million recommendations and reviews from a community of travelers who refer to Tripadvisor for hotel advice, things to do, rants & raves, and trip ideas. A 2 second search on Bangkok pulled up more than 1400 hotels and restaurants alone, both categorized by a ranking system based on the average number of stars across the highest number of reviews. Its ranking system alone is sure to guarantee a decent 2-day itinerary.
Kayak – Kayak is the largest online aggregator of flights and hotels on the web. Its app is a solid extension, with the ability to view past searches, discover hotel deals, and vacation packages. Its interface is smart, with one screen displaying your flight search, matching hotel recommendations, and a hot searches section which pulls up the lowest fare for any period within the month.
Google Translate – No real time voice to text translation app is as fast or as accurate as Google Translate. Speaking "I would like to go to the bank and deposit money and take out change for currency in Bangkok" pulled up a written and voice translation in less than 2 seconds. Although not meant to replace actual language skills, Google Translate is fast enough to hold a conversation – man vs. computer.
Skype – Get rid of that $3.99 a minute hotel phone and go with Skype to connect with Skype members for free using a wifi connection or for 2 cents a minute to landlines. A subscription will earn you unlimited calls to landlines for less than $15 a month. Be careful – calling to certain cell phones is not eligible for unlimited calls under your subscription, instead drawing from pre paid credit. The first choice for placing VoIP calls.
Wifi Finder – With more than 545,000 records in 140 countries, this app uses the iPad's built in GPS to track where the nearest wifi hotspot is. With international data rates sky high, this app will help you save money.

Michigan State
2014-2015 Michigan State Basketball Preview
Michigan State:
I am higher on the Spartans than most people on here. I think that somehow Izzo is going to get this team to win games. I think that Valentine and Dawson are going to be two very good players. Michigan State loses Dan Chapman, Adreian Payne, and Keith Appling to graduation. In addition, Gary Harris is leaving for the NBA. Also, Russell Byrd is foregoing his final year of elgibility. Losing these players means losing:
Now this is quite a lot to lose but it could be worse. They could have three players going pro like other teams in the conference. Here is the catch, Alex Gauna has not decided if he is going to take his fifth year. And although he is not a starter, he is an important role-player. Here is what they lose if he leaves.
Not only do they lose some real minutes, they lose valuable experience. This player is not going to be all B1G but losing him means losing serious depth. Here is what their roster looks like:
# Name HT WT YR POS
15 Keenan Wetzel 6-4 210 RS.SR SG
Only played 22 minutes all of last year, will not play.
2 Alex Gauna 6-9 250 RS.SR C
Played 7 minutes a game last year. He will get about 10 minutes a game this year unless he decides not to take his fifth year.
20 Travis Trice 6-0 170 SR. PG
The starting Point Guard, candidate for "alien of the year". He averaged 22 minutes a game last year when Keith was being tough and he will get about 30 this year. He should be their 3rd option to score this year.
22 Branden Dawson 6-6 225 SR. PF
Branden is arguably their best player. He may not be a scorer but he is a man on the boards and a very good defender. He will start at Power Forward. If Dan Dakich does not break Dawson's hand again then he should be on track for all B1G.
41 Colby Wollenman 6-7 225 RS.JR SF
Will not play.
45 Denzel Valentine 6-5 225 JR. SF
The starting Small Forward, will be their go-to scorer. If he plays to his full ability he could be a lock to go to the NBA. Frontrunner for the "Needs Braces" team.
10 Matt Costello 6-9 240 JR. C
The starting Center, could be pretty good next year and a more than servicable starter.
13 Trevor Bohnhoff 6-7 215 JR. PF
Will not play.
30 Kenny Kaminski 6-8 225 RS.SO PF
A three point shooter, will pick up odd minutes at the 3-5.
34 Gavin Schilling 6-9 225 SO. C
An uber athletic fouling machine. He picks up 8 fouls every 40 minutes, which is good for him fouling out in 25 minutes. Not good. He will pick up minutes.
3 Alvin Ellis III 6-4 195 SO. SG
The biggest mystery on their team, he only played 7 minutes a game last year. I think he will start later on in the year. Early in the year I think Valentine will slide down with Dawson at the three and Kaminski at the 4.
Lourawls Nairn 5-10 170 FR. PG
A four star, the #15 Point Guard in this class. He will be the back-up 1 this year.
Javon Bess 6-5 195 FR. SG
A three star, the #20 Shooting Guard in this class. He will back-up Ellis at the 2.
Marvin Clark 6-7 219 FR. PF
A three star, the #40 Power Forward in this class. He will be the back-up 3.
Projected Starting Lineup:
Point Guard: Travis Trice
Shooting Guard: Alvin Ellis III
Small Forward: Denzel Valentine
Power Forward: Branden Dawson
Center: Matt Costello
Losing Gauna would make this team worse than Michigan, but with him, MSU barely has the edge. I think State will go 4th in the B1G and 12-6 in the conference.
Next up... Ohio State
Michigan - Michigan State: Open Thread
Another must win game for the Wolverines, welcoming State to Yost. Michigan's senior class can improve to 5-0-0 at Yost against the Spartans with a win. The game is on Comcast 900.

Best and Worst: The (First) Gauntlet
[ED-S: Bump]
Unlike in football, where you have a game a week and, thus, all carry a pretty high significance, basketball has far more games with varying levels of import. Last year I basically started this column with the tourney run, and so far the season has been just disjointed enough that it was hard to get a bead on what this team was capable of. So it wasn't until this week's games against Wiscy, Iowa, and MSU did I feel like I could do justice to a full-fledged Best and Worst on a series of games. Note that while I can at least impersonate someone who knows a couple of things about football, I am an avowed fanboy of basketball who begged his mom for a Charlotte Hornets Starter jacket and Bobby Hurley's ITZ so that I could ball in the Michigan winters all day long.
Also, there might be wrestling references in here. To paraphrase Mel Gibson to Joaquin Phoenix, "Neg away."
Best: Wrecking Ball
Even the most optimistic fan looked at this slate of games and said "2-1 would be fantastic, but just get 1 win and survive." Then came the signature win at the Trohl Center, and everyone rejoiced for a day until the Ent Globtetrotters were seen emerging from a fertile Plains state. Then UM felled it's second top-10 team of the week and the mood turned pure Lloyd Christmas with the possibility of a sweep at the Breslin, but for most that fantasy was quickly snuffed out by the realties of playing against a third top-10 team, on the road, before a rabid crowd that could easily sway the officials in ways both great and small. And it's not like MSU is a pushover; led by the lilliputian Tom Izzo, one of the nation's top coaches and 18-time winner of the Frances Pomeroy Van Gundy award for coaching, he's the reason Cedar Village's Google Image Search is virtually indistinguishable from that of London's during World War 2.
(Click to enlarge. The black & white ones are London)
And yet, it was hard to shake the feeling at halftime that UM was going to sweep the week, or at the very least come damn close. Yes, the shooting has been unsustainably hot, but they were also able to weather some horrible officiating and Gary Harris's amazing performance to keep the game close, and at some point a short-handed MSU team* wasn't going to be able to hang with this squad, even if they weren't at full-strength themselves. And so, like the other two games, UM won a bit going away, hitting their foul shots and playing stout enough defense to salt it. Basically, they followed the same formula MSU and UW have used for years to choke the life out of teams.
So now, midway through a season that started with much uncertainty, pocked with consternation and some despair, UM sits atop the best conference in the country, 7-0 for the first time since before anyone on this team was born. Though this is certainly not the last tough stretch for the team, and you have to expect some type of letdown in the coming weeks, these guys went from safe-if-unspectacular tourney team to one of the most dangerous outs in the country, a designation that seems perfectly appropriate for a Beilein squad. Speaking of which…
* This has been discussed elsewhere, but losing Payne to injury was tough. Losing Dawson to a "Fist Punch of Leadership" is just having an idiot on your team. Everyone loses players throughout the season, and sore wrists and bum shoulders weren't the reasons UM has won 5 of the last 7 against MSU.
Best: The Beilein Hypothesis…
I've always believed that there are two types of successful college coaches: guys who thrive in chaos of new players and transition, and guys who thrive at installing players into a system. The archetypes of the prior are the one-and-done maestros like Calipari, while the patron saint of the latter are guys like Tom Izzo and Bo Ryan. Obviously, most coaches fall somewhere in this spectrum, with guys like Pitino, Krzyzewski, Boeheim, Self, and Williams making do with varying mixtures of near-pros and matriculating talent. But in general, their greatest successes fall into one of these two camps.
John Beilein has always been a system guy. Now, when I hear that term as it relates to college basketball, I think of your defensive taskmasters; your Ryans and Izzos who recruit annoyingly-good offensive rebounders and defense-first guards who want to leave teams looking like Zach Novak and muttering "Jon-a-than!" as they board their bus.
But with Beilein, the focus has always been about his offense, and he's recruited those players with a very specific set of skills with aplomb since he arrived in Ann Arbor. Sure, he made do with imperfect lineups featuring guys like Morris, Harris, and Sims, talented players who helped carry UM back to respectability even when they weren't great fits for the system. But you always saw him tinkering at the edges, trying to create the type of team that, well, he's had for the past 2-3 years (though perhaps still a bit too guard-heavy, with McGary's injury being a major factor).
Still, it has gotten to the point with Beilein's team that they can lose one of the best players in the country and another first-round NBA player and really not miss a beat. Sure, Stauskas and Caris have made strides and the Morgan/Horford combo has impressed, but this team is still down 3/5ths of the starting lineup that took them to the championship game last year. And yet, after a couple of early stumbles as the pieces settled into place, the offensive productivity remains elite while the defense remains in line with last year's acceptable rate. And unlike defense-heavy teams, which seem to be better able to plug in, how do I say this charitably, "high energy" guys with limited offensive games and still come out on top, Beilein's system requires players to be able to actually score with some consistency, a skill that (I presume) is far less abundant.
It seems that it has gotten to the point with Beilein (and more importantly this team) that players have become largely interchangeable provided they possess certain basic skillsets and a decent level of athleticism. And in some ways, perhaps his best teams are going to be those bereft of a great many "stars" from an NBA perspective. This isn't meant to invoke the Ewing Theory because losing in the championship game could never be construed as "underachieving", but I do think that the Burke-Hardaway squad was hurt at times by having two NBA-ready players sometimes vying for the same shots and space; you heard various people complain gently that the "hero ball" at the end of games by Burke and Hardaway felt forced at times. Obviously it didn't cost them in the end, but his WVU teams weren't overflowing with NBA talent and yet they held serve in a remarkably tough Big East for years. That doesn't mean you don't want to recruit the best kids, but his team seems capable of holding serve without the superstars guys like Calipari need to replenish year-in/year-out.
My only nagging concern is that the defense, perhaps by design or due to the players best suited for this offense, seems to have settled at about average, which puts pressure on the offense to be significantly more efficient than other teams to compensate. It is a relatively minor concern and one that should further shrink as more talent arrives, but it should be noted when discussing Beilein's successes.
So while I'm not yet ready to consider that any future Beilein team at UM can be penciled in for a certain number of wins and a tourney run, it is safe to say that the era of "fretting" about the state of the program is at an end. Given a reasonable number of healthy bodies and at least some talented offensive players, Beilein's squads will be highly competitive in the toughest conference in the land, always in the running for conference banners and capable of beating anyone on a given night. That is the best mark of a good system, and given the past two decades of UM basketball, a welcome sign.

Top 5 Treatments
Homeopathy is an old (even ancient) proto-medical approach to the treatment of disease. The base principle of homeopathy is this: if a substance can cause adverse illness in a robust person, the same substance is capable of treating an ill person if administered properly.
For example, if Substance A can produce chicken pox-like symptoms in a healthy person, then it can be used to treat a person with real chicken pox.
The method for treating diseases had been developed three hundred years ago by Samuel Hahnemann, in Germany. In essence, the small doses administered act as vaccines that help the body repair itself.
For all their worth, let's examine the various homeopathic remedies that have been marked for their ability to treat acne:
• Antimonium tartaricum
• Calcarea carbonica
• Hepar sulphuris calcareum
• Pulsatilla
• Silicea
• Sulphur
Where can we find these exotic-sounding homeopathic remedies? Visit your local health store. These may come in the following forms:
• Mini tablets
• Powder
• Granules
• Liquids
The trick is to match the remedy with your specific symptoms. Usually, doctors don't mind homeopathic remedies as they produce little or no direct effects in the body. However, if you're suffering from something very severe, it's best to consult with a physician for a prescription.
1. "Antimonium tartaricum" is primarily prescribed by homeopaths for individuals with large pustules that are very tender and very painful. People suffering from inflammatory acne seem to fit the bill quite distinctly.
2. "Calcarea carbonica" on the other hand, can be taken by people who suffer from frequent breakouts of acne and other painful skin conditions. This mixture was supposedly designed to increase the resistance of the skin to disease.
3. "Hepar sulphuris calcareum" is recommended when boils are present. When the skin is also very poor in healing or repairing itself, this homeopathic remedy may be used.
You may take hepar sulphuris calcareum if your pimples are very painful and are very slow in 'healing' on their own. When pus begins to form, then this compound is indeed suitable for treating your own symptoms.
4. "Pulsatilla" on the other hand, is effective from acne sufferers who developed the disease from poor diet choices. An over-dependence on fatty foods (animal fat, red meat, etc.) can lead to acne. In addition to poor diet choices, the existence of a persistently hot environment can aggravate the acne.
Pulsatilla is recommended for acne or pimple sufferers who are just entering puberty. It's also recommended for women who have breakouts during the time of their menstrual period.
5. "Silicea" is another acne remedy that is recommended for individuals who have been suffering from acne for years. The longer you've had acne, the deeper the problem becomes in the skin.
6. "Sulfur" on the other hand is indicated for individuals who are having trouble with itchy skin. Itchy skin can often result in reddish hues and abnormal-looking skin.
