How to Know When to Fire Your Financial Advisor
by Jay Peroni, Certified Financial Planner
This past week, I received a great question, "My advisor seems to think your approach to investing is a gimmick and he won't implement any of the recommendations you have given us, what should I do?"
Many are skeptical of faith-based investing. I know I was when I first heard about it 15 years ago. In fact, I rejected its validity for about 8 years into my investing career. Then God started to convict me on where I was investing not only my money, but the money of my clients. I mean if these clients had strong morals and values and knew about the ability to invest in a morally conscious manner, didn't I as an advisor have the responsibility to at least start the conversation?
Many advisors seem to be neglect one important fact: It's your money and not your advisor's money. Regardless of where your advisor sits on the faith side of investing, our approach at Faith-Based Investor makes perfect financial sense. Building a solid portfolio with quality companies, gold, silver, and other commodities is a great idea regardless of the faith-based screening we do. If your advisor isn't willing to listen to your requests, I would start interviewing an advisor who is in line with your beliefs and willing to listen to you. A relationship should be a two way street and communication is critical. If your advisor won't listen to you, that's a red flag in my book…

Dagenham & Redbridge have turned down an offer from fellow League Two promotion-chasers Wycombe for striker Ben Strevens.
Strevens, who has followed up the 20 goals he fired last season with 11 this time around, has told the Daggers he does not want to leave Victoria Road.
The 28-year-old's current contract expires in the summer, but the former Barnet and Crawley striker is committed to helping the Daggers maintain their promotion challenge.
Meanwhile, the Daggers' home clash with Bournemouth on Tuesday has been postponed due to the adverse weather conditions.

My emotional irritability and fatigue are not as intense as they were before. My skin is better. My overall mood is better. And I am finally having a regular and healthy menstrual cycle. Its really a noticeable improvement! I am very impressed.

How to install Linux Mint Debian Edition on an encrypted LVM file system
These are the default partitions and logical volumes created by the installer. The first partition is a non-LVM boot partition (255 MB with ext2) and the rest of the unallocated space is assigned to the Physical Volume. Three logical volumes (for /, swap, and /home) are created with most of the available space allocated to /home). The default file system used by the Debian Installer on logical volumes is ext3. Continue.
Yes, and Continue.
I recommend Yes here. Continue.
At this stage, the base system is already installed. Sticking with the default choices at this step will prompt the installer to install a set of packages needed to run a complete GNOME desktop. This is one option, and one that I will not recommended for what we are trying to do. My recommendation is to deselect both options.
So the window will look just like this one. Continue.
The installer will install GRUB, the boot loader, on the Master Boot Record (MBR). You will not always need to install GRUB on the MBR, but for this tutorial, we will take the default. Keep in mind that this article is proceeding on the premise that LMDE will be the only operating system on the computer.Continue.

Hi there and thank you for this great howto.
In the meantime the domain name of "www.debian-multimedia.org" has changed to "www.deb-multimedia.org". Maybe you'd like to update that.
Just so people that find this article are helped in the right direction: I provided a very simple way to get a fully luks encrypted LMDE (201303) install on LVM2. You can read the instructions here: http://j.mp/lmdelukslvm2
Have several challenges thus far. Installing on laptop which has 3 primary partitions already, a boot a recovery and C:. An unkn virus damaged Win7, took the opportunity to redo the drive. Expanded boot sector from 100mb to ~500mb to allow for LMDE non-encrypt grub. Created through much error (days of guessing) an encrypted-LVM 50G/root 10G/swap 350G/home partitions for LMDE. Still at CLI, pls advise. I would like LMDE, not just looks like, ready for update to announced 3/25/12. Quite a noob, struggled this far.
apt-get install mint-meta-debian #Did not work
apt-get install gdm #Did not work
apt-get install mintmenu #Did not work
Not a bad solution. In my case I had LMDE already installed in a VM first and then transferred it onto an encrypted LVM. That way I didn't need Debian Testing as a starter. You can read about it here:
This is good, however, I don't like how the final state is so unlike a standard install. It also requires a fast Internet connection. The following howto sets up a pristine encrypted LVM from the LMDE install DVD while downloading only a few packages:
Great tutorial but I have a question.
When I get to the part to run:
apt-get install mint-meta-debian
I get this error:
mint-meta-debian: depends: gstreamer0.10-pitfdll but it is not installable. Broken packages.
Any idea?
I am working with the amd64 netinstall of testing
After being accustomed to "inteli" installers for RPM based distributions, I must say that Debian has an impressively smart installer – offering to do exactly what I want it to.
Great introduction to the world of Debian. I am quite impressed. Who knows, may be a new Debian contributor has emerged out of this
One question: in Debian-testing, is Nouveau 2D/3D driver installed by the first Debian DVD, or will the drivers be added by the Mint meta package?
Nice! I'm using Crunchbang (based on Debian Squeeze) so I think it should also work?
Is there a way so the passphrase will be transaparent? I mean just like Ubuntu? I don't need to enter it each time I boot my machine.
Great tutorial! I have not performed this step-by-step but I a question. When is the Debian Mint Installation image used? It seems that the Debian install disk is used to install a basic Debian system, the apt sources file is modified to point at LMDE repositories, and a system upgrade is then performed. Is this correct or am I missing something?
Again, great tutorial.

SINA Award in Engineering
Iranians are well known for their engineering works from the earliest days of human civilization. Massive historical structures such as glorious bridges, canals, palaces and roadways, indicate the pioneering skills of engineers in ancient Iran. Moreover, the invention of the Qanat water management system is among the leading engineering achievements of Iranian engineers in the ancient world. Today, numerous engineers from Iran continue to design, develop and invent new systems for the well being of human kind. The SINA Award in Engineering is presented to an Iranian who has an outstanding achievement in any field of engineering, including, but not limited to: Architecture, Chemical, Civil, Electrical, Environmental and Industrial Engineering.
SINA 2013 Awardee
Selected by Scientific American Magazine as one of the 50 Leaders in Science and Technology in 2006, Nader Engheta is a visionary innovator and an internationally renowned pioneer in the fields of optics and electrodynamics. Born and raised in Tehran, Iran, he was driven by his curiosity about how things work, and he set out to find answers to his questions. He got his BS degree in Electrical Engineering from University of Tehran's School of Engineering (Fanni) with highest rank in 1978, and then came to the United States for his higher education at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech). He pursued his love of science and engineering at Caltech and received his PhD degree in Electrical Engineering and Physics in 1982. After spending one year as a postdoctoral fellow at Caltech and four years as a senior scientist at Kaman Sciences Corporation in California, he moved with his wife eastward and joined the faculty of the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. He has developed an active research program working on diverse research topics at the forefront of optics and microwaves, ranging from the cloak of invisibility, to the eyes of fish, to the nanometer-scale circuits—all fueled by his creativity and passion for science. He went through the professorial ranks swiftly and he currently holds the endowed H. Nedwill Ramsey Professorship at the University of Pennsylvania, with affiliation in departments of electrical and systems engineering, bioengineering, materials science and engineering, and physics and astronomy.
He has a broad spectrum of research activities in the fields of metamaterials, nanophotonics, graphene optics, imaging and sensing inspired by eyes of animal species, optical nanoengineering, microwave and optical antennas, and engineering and physics of fields and waves. A creative and influential scientist/engineer, Nader's trailblazing work in the development and advancement of these fields has opened up unchartered territories and disciplines, and new vistas and application areas. One of his most innovative contributions has been the introduction and development of the new field of "optical metatronics", as a new circuit paradigm for information processing at the nanometer scale. As collections of tiny structures, these "circuits with light" may lead to miniaturization of systems with unprecedented possibilities for nanoscale computers and processors.
For his discoveries and innovations, Nader has received many prestigious awards, among which are 2013 Benjamin Franklin Key Award, 2012 IEEE Electromagnetics Award, 2008 George H. Heilmeier Award for Excellence in Research, IEEE Millennium Medal, Guggenheim Fellowship, Fulbright Chair Award for Naples, US NSF Presidential Young Investigator Award, and UPS Distinguished Educator Term Chair. He has also received the distinction of being elected the Fellow of several world-wide technical organizations such as the Fellow of Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), Optical Society of America (OSA), American Physical Society (APS), American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), and SPIE-The International Society for Optical Engineering. He is also an inspiring educator and has received awards for his teaching activities including Christian F. and Mary R. Lindback Foundation Award, S. Reid Warren, Jr. Award, and the W. M. Keck Foundation Award.
He is married to Susanne H. Engheta whom he met in Pasadena, California, and married in 1986. They have a son, Alex, 24, working at the Center for Creative Arts, and a daughter, Sarah, 21, studying Finance at The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. They live in Berwyn, Pennsylvania. In his spare time, Nader enjoys classical music, ballroom dancing lessons, and historical nonfiction books and movies.

Brian Buckley, 45, who is serving life for the murder of a 25-year-old woman in Wrexham, north Wales, used a four-letter word as he verbally abused defence lawyer Donald Findlay during cross-examination.
Buckley had been brought to the High Court in Edinburgh to give evidence at the trial of John Docherty, who is accused of murdering 16-year-old Elaine in Greenock in 1986.
Buckley, who was convicted of throttling his girlfriend Leah Ingram in 2010, has been named as one of 41 possible suspects for the Doyle murder.
In court yesterday, he made a series of "No comment" responses to Mr Findlay, Mr Docherty's QC, when asked whether he strangled and killed Ms Ingram.
Mr Findlay asked: "Why are you not prepared to tell the jury what kind of man you are?"
Buckley said he would not comment because he is planning an appeal.
Stepping down from the witness box, Buckley retorted: "You can go f*** yourself, I am done."
Then as security officials blocked the court exit, Mr Buckley added: "Do you want me to start fighting?"
Judge Lord Stewart adjourned the trial until today when Mr Buckley could face further questioning.
Elaine's body was found yards from her home in Ardgowan Street early on June 2, 1986.
The court had previously been told that on that night Buckley and a friend, Robert Brown, had been looking for houses to break into in the area.
Mr Docherty, 49, of Dunoon, denies murder.

Davies cannot hide his anger as Pirates are brushed aside by London Scottish
Posted: January 27, 2014|
CORNISH PIRATES' new director of rugby Ian Davies found positives hard to find for after an abject display from his side saw them comfortably beaten 25-6 by London Scottish at the Athletic Ground.
A fourth away Championship defeat has left the Pirates with a lot of work to do if they are to grab a place in the end of season play-offs and former head coach Davies – who has been appointed to his new position until the end of the 2015-16 season – admitted he was "beyond angry" after watching a dismal display.
"We were totally outplayed in all facets of the game and that is really disappointing," Davies said. "The penalty count against us at the scrummage was really high and we need to look at that because we didn't get any platform in the game.
"We lacked physicality and they out-muscled us. We did it to them at the Mennaye and they were smarting about that.
"They returned the favour with spades here.
"All round, apart from Mike Pope, I think everyone will be disappointed with their performance."
Davies felt his team should have got more out of the game in the first half when they had the better of the conditions.
"We probably deserved it, to be honest," he said.
"We had three or four good breaks, had a two on one in the left corner which we should have finished because it is bread and butter stuff, and then gave a soft try away just before half-time which we have a habit of doing lately.
"That made it 6-5, their tails were up, they knew they could play territory in the second half with a strong wind behind them and luckily for us their kicker had an awful day off the tee or we would have gone in at half-time many points down anyway."
He continued: "We looked a bit rudderless in attack and kept running up our own derrieres, to be honest. We needed a bit of focus and go-forward and didn't get it.
"Scottish have got one of the best defences in the league, statistically speaking, and it is very hard to break down and that was proven today."
It is unusual in professional rugby to see six replacements made simultaneously in a competitive game but Davies chose to do that after 64 minutes as the Pirates trailed 22-6, and he explained why.
"The boys on the park weren't performing so we needed fresh legs," he said. "The guys who came on gave us that and a bit of firepower certainly taking the ball to Scottish."
The Welshman had a timely reminder for any members of the Pirates' squad who may already have one eye on where they might be playing next season.
Davies continued: "That said, there are very few in the changing room who can say that they did here what they are capable of and maybe some people are starting to believe their own press a bit.
"Agents are touting them round to clubs telling them they are the best thing since sliced bread but we have got a long way to go, and some of the boys need to realise that."

There are many posts about Epsom Salt Baths. I would like to know the best way to have an Epsom Salt Bath for muscular aches and pains and for High Blood Pressure. I have some questions:
1) How much Epsom Salts do you put into a Small Bath full of water?
2) Is it better to have a Warm, Hot or VERY HOT Bath - Floatation tanks are just warm - 37.9 F?
3) How long should you soak in the Bath -20 Mins- 30 Mins or 1 Hour?
4) How many times a WEEK is it safe to do it - is Daily OK?
5) Are there any side effects?
Many thanks and God Bless,

08/20/2012The olive oil-grape juice cleanse is actually very effective at getting rid of any nausea caused by an inflamed gallbladder or pancreas, but you may have to do several cleanses simply because there are over 50,000 ducts in the liver and gallbladder that need to be cleaned out. So, to a large extent, I disagree with Mel from the Philippines. I was able to completely eliminate all of the nausea and pain that I was having by doing multiple liver cleanses. Plus, I had more energy and my skin, eyes, and digestion improved after doing multiple liver cleanses. A person should wait two weeks in between cleanses. It is true that most of the stones eliminated are typically soft and that they do melt after several days, but this does not mean that the liver/gallbladder cleanse is not effective, or that it the cleanses don't work, because I have found that with each liver/gallbladder cleanse that you do, you will get fewer stones than you got before, and that the stones that you eliminate during the first liver cleanse look older and more yellowish during than the stones in subsequent liver cleanses, which look green. Besides that, an X-ray of the liver will reveal that the texture of the liver improves by doing multiple liver cleanses. During the first cleanse that I did, the stones were only about a quarter of an inch, but during subsequent cleanses, I had some which were over an inch in size. But eventually, by about the fifth cleanse, I got to the point where no stones were being eliminated... Just a little bit of chaff, and I attribute this to the fact that I had eliminated all the major stones in my liver and gall bladder.
The idea that these stones are simply "soapstones" as suggested by Mel is not true. I was able to avoid having to have my gallbladder removed by doing the liver/gallbladder flushes. It's been twelve years since I was having gallbladder/pancreas issues, and I haven't had a problem since then. I'm glad that I took charge of my own health.Posted by Ash (London, Uk) on 11/23/2011
Epsom baths have eased my muscular aches and pains and I read that taking it internally also works. I am thinking of of taking Epsom Salt in Water to drink daily. How much can I add to a Litre of Water without having any laxative effect?
I also have high blood pressure - are there any side effects?
Thank you for a great web site!

11/26/2011Hi Ash, Some people have 1/2 teaspoon on rising and again in the evening, some take 1 teaspoon on rising (in a glass of water). But always start with a lower dose like 1/4 teaspoon. Epsom Salts can be laxative in larger doses and it varies from person to person. I don't know anyone who takes it in a litre of water but I think start with 1/4 of a teaspoon and build up to 1 teaspoon.
In regards to your high blood pressure magnesium, especially when combined with some potassium, may lower it.
You can also use it in foot baths as there is only a certain amount of magnesium we can absorb orally with epsom salts.Replied by Ash

Be careful. My Mom didn't want her doctor to know she had gained weight so took Epsom salts regularly before her appointments. This made her blood pressure go down temporarily and she appeared pink and healthy. But she died of a heart attack due to high blood pressure that no one knew she had.Posted by Janice (Toronto, Ontario, Canada) on 01/07/2010

However as much as I loved the taste of a few flakes of Epsom Salts in room temperature water and drank a few times a day.....I loved the taste and the warmth or sensation it gave me (like a inside body bath)...but I found it quite odd that I didn't go to the bathroom that day, and I believe it may have hindered the working department down there or something. Does it ever do that?
I am concerned because I truly LOVE the taste, but I've also been unable to digest food almost from eating way too much and drinking (which I never do) on New Years Day.....and I don't have aches and pains myself but I have a lot of waste I am trying to get rid of, and I went to the bathroom every day at least once until drinking the Epsom Salts.....WHY??Replied by Dianna

01/08/2010this is weird because at higher doses epsom salt actually relieves constipation!
i would suggest that you take a higher dose - look on the back of the package - it has directions - and that should help a lot.
also make sure you are drinking water also. it could be that the small amount of the epsom salts have a dehydrating effect.Replied by Bill

01/09/2010Hi Janice...I take Epsom Salts also, but I take it as a supplement to support the magnesium requirements in my body and not as a laxative. I take about 1/4 teaspoon Epsom Salts occasionally in a glass of water. This amount in solution will NOT act as a laxative. You would have to increase your dosage from a couple of flakes to considerably more in solution to act as a laxative. Unfortunately I can't tell you the exact dose for Epsom Salt to be used as a laxative, since I use it in a different way.
Why not just buy some Milk of Magnesia (without aluminum) and use that as a laxative?Replied by Bill

01/09/2010Hi Janice...On my pack of Epsom Salts which is pure and organic, the laxative dosage is:
"For Adults, 12 yrs and older: 1 to 2 teaspoons in 1/2 glass of water.
For children under 12 yrs: 1/2 to 1 teaspoon in 1/2 glass of water."
Hope this helps.Replied by Moi

If you read her post again, she does not state that she wanted the Epsom salts to be a laxative, she was enjoying a few flakes of it in water, but it was causing constipation. She was taking it for aches and pains and whilst that seemed to be working it was also causing constipation which she found confusing.Replied by Bill

01/09/2010Moi...Thanks for your comment but I think, perhaps that you are mistaken. Here is the very last paragraph of Janice's post again:
"I am concerned because I truly LOVE the taste, but I've also been unable to digest food almost from eating way too much and drinking (which I never do) on New Years Day.....and I don't have aches and pains myself but I have a lot of waste I am trying to get rid of, and I went to the bathroom every day at least once until drinking the Epsom Salts.....WHY?"
She is implying that the Epsom salts is causing the constipation which is very unlikely. Also in Janice's post she says that she takes "a few flakes of Epsom Salts in your tea or room temperature water". How much is a few flakes?
As Ted says, Epsom salts can be used in two ways. You can take 1/8 to 1/4 of a teaspoon of Epsom salts in a glass of water frequently to replace electrolytic balance or you can take 1 to 2 teaspoons in half a glass of water, at a much higher concentration, to act as a laxative.
I suspect that Janice was not taking enough Epsom Salts to act as a laxative, which is why I tried to help her by giving the proper laxative amounts.Replied by Moi

08/18/2011Re: Epsom salt causing one to use the bathroom less frequently- Yes, this *can* happen, as epsom salt is hydrophilic; you need to increase your water intake a bit if you plan to use the salts. That's all you should have to do. Using them as a laxative is unnecessary and could be harmful if you are already dehydrated.Replied by Citygirl27

06/18/2012My bag of epsom salts says to take 2-4 teaspoons in "8 oz" of water. I use one Tablespoon (3 tsp) and a LOT more water because a) it tastes *blech* and b) you will lose a lot of water. If you are on the smaller size, use the lower dose; larger size, use the higher dose. I use it as an inexpensive colon flush. Not really a cleanse in the strict sense, but like someone said, a bath. Almost to the point of a purge out that end. You'll know. For me it takes about 6-8 hours to take effect, so keep that in mind.Replied by Mary
08/14/2013How often do you take the epsom salts. Can I do a colon cleanse once a week?? Is that too often?? Can the epsom salts cause high blood pressure?? How much is too much?

[YEA] I have suffered with GH for close to 30yrs. One of the things that has helped stop an outbreak is to soak in a hot bath with epsom salts or other mineral salts. When I feel an outbreak coming I soak in the saltbath and the blisters either do not come out or go directly into the scab phase leaving out the painful part in the middle. I will try cutting out the sugar in my diet.

[YEA] Epsom salt may be more appropriate for soaking, as the magnesium diffuses into the bloodstream more slowly, however heed to the warning labels on the bag. If you use Epsom internally as a supplement for magnesium you want to avoid giving yourself a potassium deficiency, and that goes with any magnesium supplement, but is especially important for those on a diet low in potassium, or have low blood potassium levels. Diarrhea is a sign you have taking too much, unless you're intentionally trying to use it as a laxative. I would include grapefruit and oranges in my diet especially if using Epsom, and would not use Epsom internally long periods; have a blood test done, or watch out for signs of potassium deficiency if you're a chronic Epsom user. I read that magnesium taurate was once said to be the best form of magnesium, citrate being next, especially for those with mineral imbalances and prone to heartbeat irregularities.

Epsom salt can prevent cerebral palsy: U.S. study
Jan 31, 2008
By Maggie Fox, Health and Science Editor
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Giving a woman an infusion of Epsom salts when she goes into premature labor can help protect her baby from cerebral palsy, U.S. researchers reported on Thursday.
Magnesium sulfate, popularly known as Epsom salts, cut the rate of cerebral palsy in half, Dr. John Thorp, a professor of obstetrics at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and colleagues reported.
"We have a cheap, widely available treatment already in hand that cuts in half the risk of babies being born with an extremely disabling disorder," Thorp said in a statement.
"And virtually every delivery room in the United States is already stocked with magnesium sulfate solutions that are given to pregnant women during childbirth for other reasons."
Dr. Alan Fleischman, medical director of the birth defect charity March of Dimes, was more cautious. "I think it is an important study," he said in a telephone interview.
But he noted that more study was needed to understand how the treatment works, and said the children were not protected from more subtle brain damage that affected intellectual and cognitive function.
Thorp's team presented their findings to a meeting of the Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine in Dallas.
They gave either magnesium sulfate or a placebo to 2,241 women going into early labor or with ruptured membranes. The women's pregnancies were at between 24 to 31 weeks -- a full-term pregnancy goes 40 weeks.

[YEA] No particular ailment, but I have been interested in Magnesium supplementation ever since I had a couple of "racing heart" episodes several years back, and discovered that I could calm things down by taking Epsom Salts (Magnesium Sulfate) in water... awful taste and also a powerful laxative. I began to wonder how I could get the same effect in a more palatable way, without the laxative effect. Eventually I found the"Magnesium" webpage and learned the following:
How to make your own Magnesium water [like the 'Noah' water being sold by a certain company, which bottles water from a spring that is naturally rich in bicarbonates of Magnesium].
The assumption is that we could all use more magnesium in our diet, which may help reduce blood pressure, reduce the likelihood of kidney stones, etc.
Here's how to make your own Mg-rich drinking water:
Buy a bottle of Carbonated Seltzer water - NO SODIUM, just carbonated "fizz" water, unflavored. Refrigerate for a couple of hours.
Get another, larger bottle, and pour 2/3 of a capful of PLAIN (no-flavor) Philips Milk of Magnesia (which is Magnesium Oxide, an alkaline laxative) into the large bottle. (The bottle comes with a plastic measuring cup which is what I mean when I say 2/3 capful.)
Now quickly open the bottle of carbonated water (water carbonic acid) and empty it into the large bottle containing the 2/3 capful of Magnesia.
Shake well.
You will have a bottle of milky/cloudy liquid which is in the process of neutralization between the carbonic acid and the magnesium oxide-- leaving a neutral salt, Magnesium Bicarbonate.
Let the cloudy mixture sit for a while at room temperature, until the liquid clears; there will be some white precipitate at the bottom. Shake again and let sit again. When clear, refrigerate. THIS IS YOUR MAGNESIUM BICARBONATE CONCENTRATE. Unlike the chalky taste of straight Milk of Magnesia, or the biting-fizzy taste of seltzer water, your concentrate will have a strong, sweet, slightly "soapy" taste. You will be DILUTING it in water for drinking purposes.
When it has chilled, pour a small amount into an empty 1 liter bottle (approx. 1/2" of concentrate at the bottom) and fill the rest of the bottle with pure drinking water.
You have now created a sweet-tasting, Magnesium-enriched drinking water, and you're also getting your Bi-carbs without all the Sodium you'd be getting from Baking Soda.
I have been making and drinking this Mg water since Nov. 2006 (I write this in July of 2007) and have not had any bad effects from it. I take a bottle to work and sip it during the day. My resting heart rate seems to have gone down and I feel more relaxed in general. I can't say it has greatly improved my high blood pressure, but it has helped some, and I know I am getting enough Magnesium. Probably would be beneficial to supplement with Calcium for balance.
Try it and see what it does for you.Replied by Julie

[YEA] Epsom Salts Worked for Sciatica!
My mother came down with sciatica last week. Immediately she went to see my brother, who is a chiropractor. That helped her a lot but the pain and discomfort was still there for her. Since then she was resting her leg as often as she could and taking pain killers when needing to walk on it for any extended period of time. When I heard about it, I had a look on this site and noticed the epsom salts testimonials. I suggested that she try having an epsom salt bath and to drink a couple of teaspoons of it with a glass of water also.
Well, I called her this morning and my mother was so excited! She said that she had a bath for about 30 minutes (and read a magazine!) with 2 cups of epsom salts on Wednesday night before going to bed. She also drank a glass of water with 2 teaspoons of epsom salts with some honey to improve the taste. She said that she slept so peacefully that night and woke up in the morning with NO PAIN! She was over the moon!
On Thursday, she drank a couple more glasses of water, epsom salts and honey and she plans to have another bath tonight (Friday). There has been no sciatica pain since waking up Thursday morning.
Thank you to Jean and Gwen for posting your results, the good news has now spread to our family too and we are passing it on to others. God Bless.Posted by Gwen (Denver, CO) on 02/19/2009
[YEA] I have found over the years that I will experience severe sciatica when I am severely constipated. When this happens I pull out the "big guns", Epsom salts. 2-4 teaspoons dissolved in water. Small amount of water followed by as much water as possible after wards. I'll use a straw to drink solution. Put straw to back of tongue beyond taste buds & suck. Taste terrible, but when I am in that much pain I'll do anything to relieve it! You can also add lemon or lime juice to lessen the taste. Pain starts to diminish after first trip to the pot. Works every time & I'm over it in less than 24 hour. Good luck & God/Goddess Bless!

[YEA] I had to post something here because a couple of months ago I saw a post from someone who said, "Anyone who has seizures, something that has worked well to control or rid people's seizures is epsom salt." ....their words were something to that effect. Well, that got me intrigued and excited. I had been looking for ways to get off my meds for years. I have been reading books and looking...everywhere on the net for...something! And that post got me started. Well, I now have a blog about my story - I have been off my meds for more than a month and it has now been almost a month since I have had a seizure. That is just amazing and has been unheard of for me for the past 18 years! Now, I am not a doctor and I am not saying this is what EVERYONE should do. We are all different.

[YEA] Epsom Salts is a cure for Epilepsy. I have recommended it to various people and given a talk about it in a local clinic in London...it works!! Even for grand mal fits and for young and old alike. Half a teaspoonful in orange juice each morning, and the fits will stop.

10/25/2008My journey into nutrition started in the 70's with Adelle Davis' books. She recommended magnesium (epsom salts) for Epilepsy. I have told this to various people over the years and offered them the books to read, amazingly they didn't want to do the research, preferring the allopathic methods of treatment. Ms Davis was also a strong proponent of folic acid to prevent spina biffida! This has only recently been taken seriously..but her evidence could have saved much untold misery for unfortunate families during these intervening years.
In one of her books Ms Davis referred to another nutritionist from the 40's who opined that unless magnesium levels in the diet were improved, within a generation we would't be able to tell from the backview the difference between boys and girls!!! Well girls used to have waists (18" to 22") and boys always had physiques, maybe lack of magnesium affects the hormones somehow.Replied by Dianna

01/05/2009[YEA] i have had gran mal seizures since i was in my teens. the doctors could never find anything wrong and i took dilantin for years. somehow along the way i also found that if i took cal-mag (calcium magnesium liquid) it helped. well it took me years to realize that soaking in epsom salts help too. recently i have started having seizures again and realized that i had not been taking my epsom salt baths for a while. i even rub the salts on my body to exfoliate... so i started taking a little bit orally mixed with VCO too - just to get it back in my system. it really makes me mad that doctors do not tell people about this. they have to know that epsom salts have magnesium in them... a doctor had told me about cal-mag in the first place... but no one ever mentioned epsom salts. i guess they are too cheap!
btw - soaking in epsom salt baths also helps bi-polar people feel better.

i have long been deficient in this and virtually have no butt - so what you said really makes sense to me - i look like a guy from behind! and epsom salt (magnesium sulfate) keeps my seizures under control. funny i how never thought of this. i also noticed that lots of people with no diabetes and or on insulin have no butt too. everyone else in my family have butts and don't have diabetes or seizures.

01/05/2009To Dianna & Viola,
Epsom salts' chemical name is magnesium sulfate and yes your doctor should know that because that is what they give pre-eclamptic and eclamptic mothers IV to keep them from seizing or stroking out with high blood pressure. But don't be too harsh on your poor doctor because the AMA is the strongest union in the country and they don't like any doctor recommending anything they don't have control over. They dislike it so much they will try to put him out of business or even revoke his license to practice medicine. The newer anti-siezure medications are basically magnesium in one form or another. I suspect this is mostly because magnesium competes with monosodium glutamate for sites in the brain and monosodium glutamate is known for causing seizures, among many other problems.
This is why I urge everyone to wise up and stop thinking you only get MSG when you eat Asian or stir-fried foods. To really get a good idea of how much MSG & aspartame you are poisoning yourself & your family with,google "excitotoxins" & write down the names they hide MSG under and go into your kitchen. That tomato ketchup that your kids love so much - have fun trying to find one that isn't loaded with MSG. Those tasty pizzas we all like so well - again have fun trying to find one without the sauce being loaded with it. If You tube hasn't taken it off already, they had an excellent l hour interview with Dr. Russell Blaylock who wrote the book
"Excitotoxins: The Taste That Kills".

1783: His Majesty's secret agent
Fresh from war in the Americas, young navy veteran Alan Lewrie finds London pure pleasure. Then, at Plymouth he boards the trading ship Telesto, to find out why merchantmen are disappearing in the East Indies. Between the pungent shores of Calcutta and teaming Canton, Lewrie--reunited with his scoundrel father--discovers a young French captain, backed by an armada of Mindanaon pirates, on a plundering rampage. While treaties tie the navy's hands, a King's privateer is free to plunge into the fire and blood of a dirty little war on the high South China Sea.
Ladies' man, officer, and rogue, Alan Lewrie is the ultimate man of adventure. In the worthy tradition of Hornblower, Aubrey, and Maturin, his exploits echo with the sounds of crowded ports and the crash of naval warfare.

Gazpacho is one of the most satisfying meals to eat during a heat wave.
It also just happens to be raw and vegan, but that doesn't stop it from masquerading as a chilly indulgence, especially when loaded with fresh corn, mango and avocado.
Here's to eating well while staying cool.
Mango Corn Gazpacho
- 3 small to medium tomatoes
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1/4 onion
- 1 garlic clove
- 2 large handfuls of cilantro
- 2-3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 ear of corn, kernels stripped
- 1 ripe mango, diced (Check out this handy video on how to dice mango.)
- 1 avocado, diced
- Salt and pepper to taste
Combine tomatoes, red pepper, onion, olive oil and garlic in a food processor. Blend to your desired level of smoothness. I prefer to leave it chunky. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Mix in corn kernels and mango chunks by hand. Serve chilled and topped with diced avocado. Serves 2-4.

CAN a landslide spontaneously combust? It can if it contains the right kind of rocks.
In August 2004, fire crews attended a wildfire near Santa Barbara, California. After hosing down the burning grass, they traced the fire to a recent landslide, but had no idea how it started.
A few weeks later, Robert Mariner, from the US Geological Survey in Menlo Park, California, and his colleagues visited the site and found that the temperature of the rocks in the landslide was 307 ° C - hot enough to start a fire. The analysis of gas from boreholes ruled out geological ignition sources such as volcanic activity or flammable natural gas, so it appeared that a chemical reaction in the rocks caused the ignition.
The landslide exposed a mineral called pyrite to the air, causing an oxidation reaction that heated a nearby patch of low-grade coal to more than 300 ° ...

Commander Adama has been acting suspicious, which only serves to deepen the President's doubts about his humanity. However, when he brings Ellen Tigh to the Galactica, all suspicious eyes shift toward her. On Caprica, Helo and Athena run from the baddies.
A note to first time BSG watchers; these aren't the reviews for you. I plan to write about the show with the ending in mind. If you haven't seen the show, you will be spoiled on stuff that happens at the end. You've been warned.
I had forgotten how all over the place this episode is, which really does the show no favors.
In the back half of Season Four, I noted that moving from "No Exit" to "Deadlock" (both strong Ellen episodes too) was tonal whiplash from the cerebral infodump to the highly emotional. That was a little weird in back-to-back episodes, but ultimately it was okay. However, that's not good when the tone shifts like that in one episode, like it does here.
On one side of the story, the writers are trying to have some fun with this boozy new character (BSG's Cordelia, tactless but honest and always funny), which works for the most part. Kate Vernon had kind of rough job here, as she comes off so unlikeable, but she fits into the cast by emphasizing her outsider status (for all the episode's faults, the dinner party scene is one of my all-time favorites).
Rubbing people the wrong way is her default mode, and give credit where it's due, the writers do know all their characters weak spots that need rubbing.
But on the other side of the episode is the Cylon-hunting drama that really doesn't work in this farcical environment. Paranoia about Adama makes sense coming from Roslin, but the writers try to take a light tone with this thread and it's not light material. It's this kind of mistrust and doubt that will lead to our leaders' rift in the finale, and it deserves a better setup.
Since, I guess, I have to talk about the Cylon thing, I must congratulate the show runners on playing most of us for a bunch of fools. Right here is all the setup we need to smoke out the Final Cylon herself, but I certainly deemed it too obvious to be true. I do wonder if "The Plan" will show the real result of Ellen's test.
Like Zarek in "Bastille Day," the episode wasn't that great, but getting to meet Lady MacTigh is worth the trip. Ellen is a fascinating character from the get go – she's fun, but in a dangerous way; she's sexy, but you shouldn't touch; she's honest, but brutally, like the truth is a weapon. She loves her husband, but it's a selfish love, like Spike with Buffy; she wants Saul all to herself.
His devotion was always evident (Michael Hogan is practically glowing in this episode), but it will be a long, long time before we get to see how much she loves him back. I've loved her from this episode, but only because I have this perverse soft spot for mean girls; it'll be fun to spend more time with her in mortal mode.
One last thought; at the beginning of the episode, we get a snapshot of off-hours life for the Galactica crew. Billy and Dualla go on a date to the observatory room, and the pilots show off some moves because they know she's watching. While Billy and Dee have to be the cutest dead couple ever, even here we can see Roslin's scariness poking out; she shamelessly asks Billy to use his girlfriend to get info on Adama, not unlike how she pimps Tory out to Baltar in Season Four. Now, we'll probably never know what happened in that pitch meeting with Billy, but it's like watching a horror film. I want to warn her of the dangers, but she's not listening.
Next up: "The Hand of God"

CORPUS CHRISTI - QUESTION: My business's products are sold by direct outside sales. How can I increase my sales?
ANSWER: Direct outside sales involve sales of things like insurance, investment products, real estate, repair and construction projects and equipment and furnishings. There are similarities to retail sales but also important differences. Your marketing plan identifies the potential customers but your sales staff have to make face to face sales calls to close the sales and produce revenue. The sales person must know everything about the product or service that the customer is likely to ask. Learn all you can about the customer's business and needs. Try to find a friend or acquaintance who knows the customer and can refer you to the customer. Even a referral by a casual acquaintance of you and the customer can make the difference in getting an appointment compared to a cold call. Having inventory on hand for immediate delivery may or may not be important depending on the product and situation.
A good initial contact is an introductory letter or brochure by mail describing your product or service and how it can help the customer. Say you will call for an appointment. Follow up with a phone call at a convenient time for the customer. Ask questions and listen to determine the customer's needs. Try to determine what they value most: low price-good quality-durability-service after the sale-reliability-choices-prompt delivery. Based on your previous experience with similar customers you may already know what to expect from the customer. Try to learn enough about the customer's needs to prepare a proposal for your first face to face sales call.
Go to your first sales call with a written proposal and prepare to close the sale. If possible include in your proposal: prices, quality, delivery and models, drawings and layouts if appropriate. Remember customers are busy people. They usually are looking for quality, reliability and completion on time with as little of their time and attention possible. Meet their expectations and you are likely to get repeat orders.
When the customer has asked all their questions and appears satisfied with the proposal ask for a written order. The written order should clearly describe the project in terms of quality, quantities, price and delivery. That will avoid disputes later. The customer may want to think about it for a few days and shop around. If so, follow up with a phone call and ask for the order.
Often you will not have a referral and your first contact will by necessity be a cold call. It takes a lot of courage and self discipline to make cold calls. You may get rejected and rejection is painful. However, more likely you will be received with courtesy and maybe make a sale or start a relationship that leads to later sales.

THERE is no way to say for certain at this point who did well, and who struck out in this years Draft. That determination can only accurately be made 4-5 years down the line; when everyone who was picked this year, is one their second contract, or asking me if I want fries with that.
But for those of us who follow such things, here's an early indicator of how everyone is thought to have done:
I'm still waiting to see how NFL.com rates everything.
So Andy Reid says the Chiefs didn't want Mat Barkley. Considering for 12 years Reid has been coy, deceptive, stubborn, and completely unwilling to provide any real information I can only conclude he was very much interested in Barkley.
All things considered, it was a good year for us.
Really only two picks I don't like n that's Barkley n Wolff. I'm going poyer can play some safety next to Phillips for us.
I don't get the TE, the QB.
Looking through Oregon's 2012 stats, what you don't see is lot of TE. I find it odd that we've loaded up at the position, and that it was both the first FA signing AND the second Draft pick.
Looking at those same numbers, you see that the Ducks 2nd and 5th leading rushers in both yardage AND attempts, were the starting and back-up QB's respectively.
I remember this sort of build up when Spurrier was installing his system in DC. He had a couple 'wowie zowie' games and we know how the rest went. I'm curious to see a new system, as this franchise has been running some version of the WCO since Ray Rhodes (nearly 20 years). But for me it's starting to feel like too many extra features are being added to a supe up a car that didn't run reliably in the first place. It feels like we have shiny whitewalls and no windshield.
Don't forget that Shurmur is also a west coast guy, and that Kelly's offense was predominately run first at Oregon. They took Ertz, because they needed to upgrade the position and to provide their quarterbacks with reliability in the TE safety valve. Let's be honest. Celek has peaked as a player, and many of those interceptions thrown by Vick and Foles skidded off his hands last season. In the current NFL the Tight End position is an instant mismatch. The Eagles with Celek have struggled in the Red Zone for some time now. Ertz is a big target, has solid hands, and he runs great routes. I think Eagles fans are going to very pleased with him.
I think this sums it up for me..
Across the board folks seem to think my teams did well.
NFL.com points out that the Raiders still have glaring holes, particularly the Defensive Line. I can only assume they mean in terms of a primary pass rusher, because we have linemen who play the run well. If we lack anything on the line, it's a guy who can DRAW a double, even if he can't BEAT one.
FA's are only about to get cheaper than they were in March. Guys will be looking to grab one of the few remaining seats on any roster as the streets begin to flood with vets who become post-Draft casualties.
Names like John Abraham and Dwight Freeney, may soon find themselves joined by names like Trent Cole, Antonio Smith, and don't be surprised if you see the name Justin Tuck hit the floor. (Seriously, check out the Giants roster. Serious numbers logjam coming up.)
I also think we could use a WR, but unless someone interesting gets dropped, I think the Raiders are going to have to use a toolbox guy to sharpen guys already on the roster. mind you we don't need to add a #1, just a guy who can give our 1 and 2 a breather and doesn't make opponents feel like they can disregard him and walk up a Safety into the box. Otherwise the run game gets clogged up and we become one dimensional. Have to keep all options available at all times.

Daytona Travel Tips
Keep in Mind...
- Motor mouths NASCAR races and motorcycle weeks bring a fun and, at times, rougher crowd. Keep your kids close if you don't want them to learn some colorful language.
- Prohibition on the beach Daytona may be a party town, but bringing alcohol or glass bottles to the beach will earn you a not-so-fun fine.
- Year-round rush hour The events at Daytona (including college breaks) pack the calendar all year. If you're looking for a low-key stay, find one of the weeks when nothing is scheduled.
Hearing "20 miles of beachfront" will tempt many vacation-seekers, but the typical Daytona beachgoer usually has something else in mind. Despite recent efforts to appeal to families (Orlando, amusement park central, is just an hour away), Daytona annually attracts thousands of visitors in search of speed and spring break. And although many college kids have moved to trendier locales (Miami Beach, for one), this east Florida city still remains a frequented spot. Its reputation as the "it" party place has welcomed a different type of celebratory atmosphere — the ever-expanding NASCAR empire. Best known for the Daytona International Speedway, Daytona draws travelers who hope to see their favorite race car drivers up close.
Residents and visitors alike share a passion for all motor vehicles. Daytona Bike Week and Biketoberfest are regular events that bring thousands to the shore. In addition, supercross and kart racing take place regularly. People love their cars so much that vehicles are actually allowed on the beach. So gather your family or your friends, pile into your car and motor down to the sand. It's sure to be a high-octane vacation.
How To Save Money in Daytona
- Proximity pricing Hotel rates will climb as you get closer to the beach or the speedway. Look between the two for cheaper options.
- Avoid NASCAR Fanatic fans will pay just about anything to get what they want. Don't get lumped into their escalated hotel rates by visiting during a race.
- Advanced ticket sales If you are coming to Daytona for a specific event, buy your tickets well in advance because thousands of others will be in line before you.
Daytona Culture & Customs
Daytona residents love their cars, so you can expect to see some tricked-out automobiles on the road, at the Speedway and even on the beach.
Even if you're not a car aficionado, the laid-back atmosphere offers a great setting for a quick getaway. While it's generally not appropriate to wear beachwear around town, you won't need to get fancy with your wardrobe; you'll have no problem blending in wearing shorts and a T-shirt.

AMES, Iowa Oklahoma.
The mere mention of it can make long-time Iowa State fans shudder, dredging up bitter memories of 50-point spankings throughout the decades.
"Iowa State University's football record against Oklahoma is dismal," Cyclone coach Paul Rhoads said Monday. "And our guys know that."
So Jake Knott-less ISU has set upon changing it.
The Cyclones (5-3, 2-3 Big 12) face the BCS No. 12 Sooners (5-2, 3-1) in Saturday's 11 a.m. ABC-televised game at Jack Trice Stadium.
Oklahoma hasn't lost to ISU since 1990, spinning off 13 series wins in a row, including a 52-0 rout two years ago in Norman.
That might as well be ancient history, though, as the Cyclones seek to gain bowl eligibility sooner rather than later.
"We're starting a new tradition and when we look at what coach (Rhoads) has done since he's been here, the teams we haven't beat are Oklahoma and Kansas State," ISU running back Jeff Woody said. "Those are the two teams, you don't want to say they're a red-letter game, but you really want this one, because it does give you validity."
The Sooners dropped out of the national championship conversation earlier than usual by losing 24-19 at home to K-State and 30-13 last week in Norman to Notre Dame.
But Oklahoma an 11- to 12-point favorite according the Las Vegas oddsmakers still ranks among the nation's top 20 in nine major statistical categories, including scoring offense (13th, 40.1 points); total offense (20th, 473.9 yards); and scoring defense (16th, 17.4 points).
"They're not gods but they're a great team," said ISU offensive lineman Carter Bykowski, who hopes to punch holes in the Sooners' 50th-rated run defense. "Up front, they're big, so we've got to make sure we're firing on all cylinders. It will take that to get a 'W' this weekend."
Speaking of cylinders, the Cyclones already are down one (or more) because of Knott's shoulder surgery.
Trying to compensate for the all-American linebacker's loss will require a fluid, multi-pronged approach.
ISU could use Deon Broomfield in its nickel package even more.
Linebackers A.J. Klein and Jeremiah George could slide around to make room for backups Jevohn Miller and Matt Morton when the situation warrants.
"You can't panic," Rhoads said.
Knott will still serve a critical role with the team part assistant coach, part sounding board, part advisor.
"Doing whatever I can," said the NFL prospect, who faces a three-month recovery. "Whether it's getting a guy a bottle of water or watching film with them for two extra hours."
It's all hands on deck when the Landry Jones-led Sooners come to town.
"We'll have to play really well to stay in the stadium," Rhoads said.

I was intrigued by your editorial linking increased incidence of tuberculosis in the 1990s in Eastern European countries to their involvement with the International Monetary Fund (26 July, p 5). It is true that the conditions on lending imposed by the IMF have often been far too austere, but it is important to avoid simplistic conclusions in economic analysis - attractive though they may be.
The observed rise in TB was almost certainly due to cuts in government spending on health. However, these cuts might have happened even in the absence of IMF-imposed austerity programmes. Following the collapse of communism, much of Eastern Europe was left with decaying and hopelessly uncompetitive industries, shrinking GDP and falling tax revenues from which to fund social spending.
Similar economic upheaval occurred in Latin America in the 1980s and prompted IMF intervention: economies stagnated, living standards fell across the region and the IMF ...

Huawei uses Siri to confirm new tablet and smartphone ready for MWC
Huawei has released a teaser video that confirms it will be launching a new super-slim tablet, a multimedia tablet, and new smartphone at this year's MWC.
The video, which strangely features an iPhone for most of it, depicts a narrator talking to Siri on his iPhone and asking: "What's new at this year's MWC?"
The Huawei version of Siri, a Chinese women, says there will be "a new tablet with a beautiful slim design" with a "huge battery" that "gives you days of use".
The MediaPad X1 7.0
Rumours that the company would launch two tablets at the show have been floating around for some time. It is expected that one of the tablets will be called the MediaPad X1 7.0. Currently the rumours suggest it will be a tablet with a 1,920 x 1,200 high-resolution display at 323ppi and include 3G connectivity, 2GB RAM, Mali-450 GPU, Huawei's quad-core Hisilicon 910 Kirin chip clocked at 1.6GHz, and Android 4.2 Jelly Bean.
The Ascent P7
The Huawei version of Siri goes on to say that there is also "a smartphone with an amazing front camera".
That tease ties up with rumoured Ascend P7, a follow up to the Ascend P6 launched in 2013. It is expected to have a 5-inch screen, a 1.6Ghz processor with 2GB of RAM and a front-facing 8 megapixel camera.
Multimedia tablet
There's also a second tablet, it seems, that will be focused around multimedia that gives "the ultimate entertainment experience", while also supporting the next-generation LTE network that hasn't even started rolling out yet.
Worried that you might have forgotten you're watching a sanctioned Huawei message because the iPhone is virtually consistently present throughout the video, the narrator cringe-worthingly asks whether the new products Siri is telling him about are "Fruit or Somesong?" - no really.
The reply?
"No. They are Huawei. It looks like Huawei is ready to amaze the world again."
Huawei is holding its Mobile World Congress press conference on Sunday 23 February at 3pm. Pocket-lint will be at the event bringing you all the latest news as it happens.

Explore Tibet, a Lhasa-based travel agency that focuses on responsible tourism, has put together a guide to help travelers organize their Tibet tour.
The Tibetan plateau is the highest in the world, with much of the area over 5000 meters. The landscape ranges from lush river valleys to high alpine meadows surrounded by rocky peaks to scrubby, barren high-altitude desert. For travelers with a limited time and budget, planning a tight itinerary is crucial. In addition, many places require special permits for foreigners that must be applied for ahead of time.
Tibet can be divided into four different geographic and cultural regions:

Arizona Wildcats
Arizona coach Sean Miller on Brandon Ashley's injury: 'We still can be an excellent team'
The Arizona Wildcats suffered two losses Saturday against California, and it's pretty easy to tell which one was worse.
When the game ended, the scoreboard read 60-58 in favor of the home team. It was Arizona's first loss of the year.
But the team's biggest loss came a couple minutes into the game, when sophomore forward Brandon Ashley landed awkwardly after rebounding his own miss and immediately crumpled to the ground in pain. He spent the rest of the game sitting on the bench with his right foot wrapped in ice. He left the arena wearing a walking boot.
After the game, head coach Sean Miller said the fear was the forward suffered a break and would be out for a while, and late Sunday, the team announced Ashley would miss the rest of the season.
In his weekly press conference Monday, Miller said Ashley has a ways to go before he gets back on the court.
"It's a season-ending foot injury and it's obviously significant," he said. "First and foremost with an injury like that, it's always about what's in the best interest of the student-athlete, and in this case, what's in the best interest of Brandon Ashley's future?
"With those being determined, I think the other part of it is that there is a real possibility that there will be surgery needed. I think right now the next phase is just to determine -- there's different ways of doing surgery -- again, which way is going to be in his best interest so that the choice is made (with) no regrets and that he can have the surgery, move forward and have a prosperous career."
Miller said the surgery would be performed in the next couple of weeks.
Losing Ashley is a significant blow to a Wildcats team that is now ranked second in the AP Poll and third in the USA Today Coaches Poll after spending the last eight weeks atop both. At 21-1 (8-1 in Pac-12 play) they have been looked at as a favorite to reach the Final Four, but there is no way of knowing what the team will look like without its starting power forward for an extended period of time.
Ashley had started every game for the Wildcats this season, averaging 11.5 points and 5.8 rebounds per game while shooting .522 from the field and .379 from three-point range. Miller said he'll be replaced in the lineup by freshman Rondae Hollis-Jefferson, with players like Matt Korcheck, Elliott Pitts and Jordin Mayes expected to see more minutes off the bench.
"Are we going to miss Brandon Ashley? No doubt about it," Miller said. "But we still can be an excellent team."
The coach, who is in his fifth season at the helm in Tucson, pointed to the fact that the Cats have nine games left in the regular season before the postseason, so it is not as if they are shorthanded for the entirety of the campaign.
"The first thing that's very deceptive about our team," Miller said, "is we have nobody on our team, through 21 games, that has averaged more than 32 minutes."
Junior guard Nick Johnson is averaging 31.5 minutes per contest, while freshman Aaron Gordon, at 31 minutes per game, is the only other player in the 30s.
Coming primarily off the bench, Hollis-Jefferson plays 23.5 minutes per contest while guard Gabe York sees 18.6 per game.
Korcheck has seen action in just 10 games this season, though, while Pitts has played in just eight.
"If we did nothing different other than just give the players that have played, minus Brandon, more of an opportunity, that's part of our solution," Miller said. "With that in mind, we know that foul trouble, fatigue can certainly weigh against you.
"But again, we don't have to do this for 30 games, we have to do it, for in essence, nine regular season games and then we're in post-season."

SAINT LEO, Fla. – In their final home game of the 2009 season, the Saint Leo lacrosse team sent their seniors out in style as they easily defeated visiting Florida Southern College 16-5 in a Deep South Conference game on a beautiful Saturday afternoon from University Field.
After honoring their seven seniors in a pregame ceremony, the Lions took the field ready to rid themselves of their two-game losing streak, but would come out of the gates slowly.
The first quarter was a bit of a see-saw battle for the Lions as they traded goals with the visiting Mocs. Kyle Marceau and Joe Guerin chipped in early goals for SLU, but the Moccasins would quickly answer as they kept the game knotted up to two.
Ben Brigham's goal at 4:38 in the first quarter signaled a shift in momentum and was quickly followed by Luke Baruch and Guerin who added goals of their own.
The Lions would expand their lead in the second period as Brigham would do most of the scoring for Saint Leo by tallying two goals on his way to a four goal and two assist afternoon. Baruch, Guerin and Evan Mills would net goals of their own in the quarter as well.
The Green & Gold would run away with the game in the third and clinching quarter. Fittingly, it would be Dargon and Brigham scoring again for the Lions at Saint Leo posted a 13-5 lead as the teams moved into the fourth quarter.
Brigham would net a goal after a quick transition pass from Ryan Askerberg, and Dargon would score after a precision pass from Kyle Marceau.
Dargon would not be finished and would open up a scoring barrage in the fourth quarter. The senior would rack up two goals, one on an assist from Chris Storrie. Dargon would also hit a Mark Walczyk in the crease for an assist as the Lions shut the Mocs out in the final 15 minutes and finished off the conference win.
After early struggles on faceoffs helped the visitors from Lakeland, Fla. to keep the game tied, Mike Del Buono would come in to dominate the matchups for the remainder by going 16-21 and racking up an impressive ten groundballs.
Saint Leo will close out the 2009 regular season as they travel to Rollins College for a mid-week conference game in Winter Park. The Lions and Tars will get underway at 5:00 p.m. on Wednesday afternoon.
