I recently had one of my favorite elitism/unnecessary dps meter incidents last night. To preface this i live in 5 mans, no RL friends play and the only guild ive ever liked being in broke up...I zone into Hour of twilight to find 3 guildies (tank, healer, and leet hunter) and a frost dk. We plow through the ice elemental trash and after every pull the fully 397 geared hunter posts the dps and mocks my rogues 22k and the DK's 18k. He then says before the boss that we better give him a reason to even try dpsing...*my game face is now on* i execute my rotation as flawlessly as Mathias Shaw himself and squeak out with

Facebook Camera Checks Into Businesses With Your Face
Advertising agency hopes to utilize Facebook check-ins to deliver discounts and increase business.
In a world where social media platforms like Facebook and Foursquare are all around you, it's easy to imagine the benefits on the business side of things. Unfortunately for us, that means privacy is a bit scarce these days, and it looks like it may get a bit scarcer. Dubbed Facedeals, this camera uses public photos uploaded onto Facebook and facial recognition software to identify patrons as they walk through the door.
Shoppers can then automatically be checked-in on Facebook and offered exclusive deals for participating in the program. Created by Nashville-based advertising firm Redpepper, Facedeals is not affiliated with Facebook. According to the firm, "Facebook check-ins are a powerful mechanism for businesses to deliver discounts to loyal customers, yet few businesses—and fewer customers—have realized it."
Hoping to capitalize on the situation, Redpepper hopes to sweeten the check-in deals by streamlining and automating the process. Of course, most customers won't be too happy about having their faces inspected by a camera everywhere they go, so the program only works if users authorize the Facedeals application on their Facebook account.
For anybody who already actively checks in to business on Facebook, Facedeals could be quite a treat. On the other hand, we have a feeling these cameras may end up driving away some customers too. Either way, Facedeals is still being tested throughout small business so we'll just have to see whether or not these cameras really take off. Would you have any issues visiting a business with a Facedeals camera?

All we need now are shopping-carts which automatically tweet what we buy.
Too much surveillance everywhere and i suppose this is just the beginning :|

No wonder the stock is worthless...
2runswindows95 , September 2, 2012 7:04 PMThe first thought I had when I read this is if it's installed at an adult store, everyone would be covering their faces whenever they shopped there. Imagine the check-in:
"John Doe checked in at Wang's House of Adult Videos"

But the color...font.... if this was Apple they'd be all over it by now !

Harry Potter Book 7 Details!
Find a Conversation
|Fri, 12-22-2006 - 7:48am
Author JK Rowling has revealed the title of the eagerly-awaited seventh and final Harry Potter book on her official website.
The book, due next year, is called 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows'.
Visitors to Rowling's site had to play a game of hangman to find out the title.
The title was later confirmed by a representative at Rowling's publishers.
In her most recent posting on her website, Rowling revealed that her character Harry Potter has been invading her dreams since she began writing the final instalment of the series.
The 41-year-old writer has previously hinted that the famous boy wizard might die in the final book.
Rowling said: "I'm now writing scenes that have been planned, in some cases, for a dozen years or even more."
"I don't think anyone who has not been in a similar situation can possibly know how this feels. I am alternately elated and overwrought," she said.
"For years now, people have asked me whether I ever dream that I am 'in' Harry's world. The answer was 'no' until a few nights ago, when I had an epic dream in which I was, simultaneously, Harry and the narrator."

"What if the Oracles showed up and played a song on their instruments to paralyze the Lich King for a short time?"
Okay, sure, that's an idea, but let's you know, go down another path...
And we're going, and we're leaving, and we take a deep breath, and we exhale.
That was mostly for me!
Now as for what could have been done in the vein of permanent story decisions given to the player in the form of forks, I'm not sure how you'd handle it on a server-wide scale, but here's an idea. The idea of two distinct factions with their own stories affecting outcomes elsewhere is nifty, let's just Do It Overpowered and assume players en masse on both sides going one way or the other affected the entire story by way of that section being told.
I'll imagine how the story could be shaped by way of the Frenzyheart, assume for a moment this momentous, if localized, story shift started in Borean Tundra. The players on both sides reach a point where the Frenzyheart are chosen, this opens up the rest of the zone to the expansion of their storyline as it is intertwined with the factions. The Frenzyheart afford players faction status, fun-oriented dailies, rewards, the usual stuff, but more impressively with the help of improved phasing you get to press forward the story of the zone and see it change as you reach pivotal moments therein.
We've already seen just how extensive phasing can be, and impressive, thanks to Cataclysm, so there's no more technical failings to worry about, I think. After choosing this faction and seeing its unique story unfold through the entire zone perhaps the next zone would feature two more factions with their own stories. Dragonblight for instance might feature the Nerubians who seek to push back against the squatters in Azjol-Nerub(Doorward questing area unlocked, hot) and a segment of the Scarlet Crusade that recognizes they are utterly lost in their cause and wish to find their way(Scarlet Redemption!) again. Your choice here would be more important and the story would be even more rewarding, faction stuff included, all of this mounting to the inevitable end of the expansion.
You ask yourself "Well, sure, but what if I want to do the other storyline!" and therein lies the problem, it's that old "Half the content isn't accessible" problem, I'd bet money the developers hate thinking the Horde or Alliance storylines are inaccessible to so many. Further dividing that story would probably hurt it, so perhaps you could go all Nozdormu on that mother and let players "peek" into the alternate timeline for some kind of advancement with the flights or something.
How crazy is all of that! I think that's an Overpowered approach, so whaddya think?

This is a beautifully restored structure that you can can spend hours looking at. Make sure to investigate all the doors and climb up to the top to see all the views. The museums inside should be a point of interest. The painting gallery is great and admission there gets you into all the museums. The porcelain gallery is also amazing. I did not love the mathematical gallery--mostly old (1400s) and pretty math instruments (rulers, compasses, some clocks). Not worth 6 euros on its own but pay 10 and go to all and it's worth a stop in.

1927 [[TheMusical musical]] by Jerome Kern and Oscar Hammerstein II, based on a 1926 book. It has been filmed in 1929, 1936, and 1951. The 1936 version was directed by James Whale, who is best known for directing Universal Horror films such as ''[[{{Film/Frankenstein1931}} Frankenstein]]'', ''Film/TheInvisibleMan'', and ''Film/BrideOfFrankenstein''.
The story starts with the ''Cotton Blossom'', a showboat with well-known actors arriving in a town in the late 1800s. Magnolia Hawks, the daughter of the showboat's owners, falls for a wandering gambler named [[HaveAGayOldTime Gaylord]] Ravenal. When the lead actors of the boat are forced to leave due to racial issues at the time (Julie being biracial), Magnolia and Gaylord take over as the leads, and become an instant hit.
The musical is possibly most known for Paul Robeson's rendition of "Ol' Man River" in the 1936 version.
!!This work provides examples of
* AdaptationDyeJob: Magnolia is said to have black hair in the book, but every stage and film portrayal has her as a blonde.
* BlackGalOnWhiteGuyDrama
* CostumePorn: The film versions are loaded with GorgeousPeriodDress.
* DawsonCasting: Irene Dunne was 38 in the 1936 movie, twenty years older than her character. She was eight years older than her leading man.
* EntitledToHaveYou: This is what leads to Julie being kicked off the ship--an entitled guy is mad that Julie doesn't want his gifts, so he goes to the sheriff to expose her mixed-race status.
* FakeMixedRace: [[spoiler: Julie]] was played in the 1936 film by the very white Helen Morgan. Likewise, the 1951 film filled the role with Ava Gardner. Has been [[AvertedTrope averted]], though, as there was a production with Lonette Mc Kee as [[spoiler:Julie]].
* HiddenDepths: Joe. Pretty much a lazy, teasing character, bordering on an old stereotype. But he does get the song that is often most remembered, and [[spoiler: is the one to fetch a doctor for Magnolia when she's in labour.]]
* LargeHam: Everyone on the stage, but especially the villain character.
* LazyBum: Joe, quite cheerfully, much to the annoyance of his hard-working wife.
* MinorCharacterMajorSong: "Old Man River," is, undoubtedly, the most known song from the production and generally the most remembered part.
* NiceGuy: Frank. [[spoiler: Of the three performing couples, he's the only one to stay with his partner, in spite of not being romantically linked. He also goes out of his way to help Magnolia get a job.]]
* NotSoAboveItAll: Parthy at times
* PassFail: [[spoiler: Julie is biracial.]]
* PrettyInMink: Some furs show up in the film versions, such as Magnolia wearing a white ermine cape at the end of the 1936 version.
* SceneryPorn: It's a very nice boat.
* ShowWithinAShow: Anything that shows up on the stage.
* SpoiledSweet: [[spoiler: Kim, born to finer things in life, is a genuinely nice person from childhood and beyond.]]
* SympatheticMurderBackstory: Turns out [[spoiler: Gaylord]] killed a guy. The sheriff says that the jury figured the guy had it coming.
* WhiteMaleLead: Subverted, although the lead is white and female. Of the white male characters, only two can be seen as being really good people {Frank and Cap'n Andy), while the rest do not come off as very nice people.

"It's all over.." Hermione whispered, not believing that after all their hard work, Voldemort was finally gone. Finished. Never coming back. Loud cheers erupted from the crowds, and colourful sparks started shooting into the sky, lighting it up with their wonderful colours. Everyone was celebrating. Well, everyone but her.
A lot of lives were lost, and still, people were celebrating. Hermione couldn't blame them, no one could. They were celebrating the end of evil, the start of another era where everyone was safe. Some were celebrating with their families, grateful that they were alive. Others were celebrating because the lives of the lost members of their family were finally avenged. But she still couldn't help but feel as if her world was still dark and empty as she turned away from the crowd and headed towards her secret place. Their secret place.
She could feel someone's eyes on her as she trudged towards the forbidden forest. It was probably either Ron or Harry, looking at her sadly as she walked away from them. But she didn't want their sympathy, she didn't want anyone's sympathy, because they didn't understand how she felt. They will never understand.
She had stood there, without moving, watching her world fall and crumple into pieces around her. He was gone. She had fallen to her knees, loud sobs racking through her as she watched the love of her live just laying there, unmoving, his lifeless eyes staring up at nothing. Walking through the forest she felt as if she was falling into a black empty pit of nothingness. Fresh tears ran down her cheeks as all the memories they had in this forest came crashing through her mind like waves crashing against rocks.
Their first kiss. The day he first told her that he loved her. When she used to sneak out and meet him here during her sixth year. When he comforted her after Dumbledore's death.
No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't get out the image of his motionless body out of her mind. She lost him. Her biggest fear had come true. Hermione didn't move for what felt like ages, just stood in the middle of the clearing, the last conversation they had replaying through her mind..
"Mione, we'll both be okay, you hear me? We're going to live through this and laugh about how scared we were." Fred, his voice shaking slightly, tried to assure Hermione, wiping the tears running down her cheeks with his thumps.
"How can you be sure? People are dying, there are hundreds of death eaters out there, and I… I don't want to lose you, Fred!"
"And you won't. We'll be fine, but just in case anything happens, remember that I will always love you, Hermione Jean Granger."
"I love you too, Fred Weasley. Forever and always." they kissed one last time before both of them got separated, not knowing that the next time they meet, one of them will be dead.
She could still feel his lips on hers, his words softly carried around by the wind, and when she closed her eyes, she could still see him, standing in front of her and grinning widely, reaching out to hold her hand. She could feel his fingers touching hers.
She knew she was hallucinating, there was no way it was Fred who said her name, but she couldn't help but hope a little that maybe, just maybe, the impossible had happened, and he was back.
"Mione, why are you crying?" strong arms wrapped around her waist, pulling her against a defined chest. Her body went rigid as she felt someone's warm breath against her ear. "Why are you crying, Mia?" a voice all too familiar whispered, sending shivers down her spine.
"F-Fred?" she managed to squeak out, hope bubbling inside her like a volcano waiting for the right time to erupt.
"Who else? Merlin, Mia, it hasn't been three hours since I last saw you, and you already forgot me?!" she could hear the humour in his voice.
She turned around and, indeed, it was Fred. Very much alive and grinning. The only thing different about him were the scratches and dried blood on his face. "But- but you're dead."
The grin slipped away from his face. "You could say that."
"Do you mean, you weren't dead?"
"I was, my heart had stopped. Everything was dark, Mia. I- I thought I was never going to see you again. It was the worst feeling ever. But then, I heard your voice." Fred shook his head, as if he himself couldn't believe what he was saying.
"You heard my voice?" Disbelief flooded Hermione's face, and Fred couldn't help but chuckle at how she looked.
"Yeah, I- I don't know what exactly happened, I just know that I had to come back to you, and next thing I know, I'm waking up in the Great Hall and scaring the shit out of everyone."
Hermione couldn't help it, she threw her arms around him and buried her face in hie chest, crying her eyes out and silently thanking whatever or whoever was the reason Fred was back with her.
"I'm sorry." Fred kept muttering as he stroked Hermione's hair and buried his face in her neck. "I'm never ever leaving you again, Mia."
Hermione lifted her head and smiled slightly, her face glistening with relieved tears. "You better not." she muttered before kissing him.

An excellent international resource for the laboratory equipment industry.
Researchers Observe Topological Effects for LightTopology — the understanding of how things are connected — remains abstract, even with the popular example of doughnuts and coffee cups. This concept, esoteric as it appears, is also neat because it is the basis for creating ultra-stable quantum "playgrounds." In topological systems, certain quantum behaviors can be carefully probed and even harnessed for all kinds of practical applications — from metrology to electronics. Topological insulators, for instance, have garnered attention because they exhibit quantum Hall physics practically off-the-shelf — without the fuss of stringent laboratory conditions. More recently, scientists have sought to go beyond these exotic materials, by designing devices whose topological features can be tuned, or even generated on-demand, like a switch.Read more: http://www.laboratoryequipment.com/news/2013/10/researchers-observe-topological-effects-light

Construction Safety Checklist for Safety Professionals at Fixed Plants
Submitted by David Crowley, CSP, CET, CHMM
Let me guess, you are a safety professional that works at a fixed facility, right? Whether you work at a food processing plant like me, or if you work in manufacturing – chances are that you need all the tools you need to stay on top of safety. You are not alone. Often times, we have contractors working at our plants performing tasks that stray from the standard operations and maintenance activities for our facility personnel. I work for a dairy processing company that has a total of 8 processing plants. Managing safety for a large a food manufacturer is a busy assignment for any safety professional, especially when there is a project or expansion at one of the plants.
I have found success in managing contractor safety when there is alignment with the contractor up front at the beginning of the project. Additionally, our company is set up for success when all of our employees are keeping a watchful eye on safety whenever construction efforts are taking place. Understanding this, I have recently created a construction safety checklist for use in my company. The checklist has been presented to each plant safety representative as well as the plant manager and anyone who serves as a project manager or hiring manager for a contractor.
The checklist follows a simple scoring method where "A" represents "acceptable" and a "U" means "unacceptable". Of course, it goes without saying, training on this checklist and its meaning is vital. Individuals that use this checklist have been trained in each area to recognize when circumstances are viewed as acceptable or unacceptable. It addresses the majority of subjects covered in the OSHA outreach course for construction as well as a few customized items according to our company safety program.
The checklist is provided to all contractors before work begins as part of an orientation on our safety expectations. Likewise, this same checklist is provided to our in-house project manager, which can range from someone from the engineering staff, to the plant manager or a department manager. Either way, the checklist is used to monitor safety compliance with contractors that we hire. By placing the checklist in this newsletter, it is offered as a sharing tool to other ASSE members that are interested in using it to help strengthen construction safety matters at your location.
David Crowley is Corporate EHS Director for HP Hood LLC in Chelsea MA. He has 19 years experience in the EHS arena and holds credentials as a CSP, CET and a CHMM. He is a n active member of ASSE and serves as the current Chapter President of ASSE's Greater Boston Chapter .

DULUTH, Minn. – When a team is playing with the confidence Minnesota Duluth currently has, things usually go as planned.
The Bulldogs reinforced that notion on Friday night, exploding for four goals in the opening period on their way to a 5-0 win against Alaska-Anchorage at Amsoil Arena. The win extended UMD's unbeaten streak to seven games, the longest since they opened the 2010-11 season 6-0-2.
"A big first period goes a long way in this league," Bulldog forward Joe Basaraba said. "We have a lot of smiles on our faces right now, but we need to keep plugging away."
Basaraba, Chris Casto and Jack Connolly scored for UMD during a two-minute flurry in the first, chasing Seawolves' starting goalie Rob Gunderson after only seven shots. Jake Hendrickson welcomed Chris Kamal to the contest with a goal six-minutes later, giving the Bulldogs a huge lead to sit on.
For most of the second and third periods, the Bulldogs seemed content doing just that.
After being outshot 15-4 in the first, the Seawolves found their energy in the middle period. They forced UMD goalie Kenny Reiter to make some good saves, and started being the pesky, physical squad they usually are.
"It's nice to get off to a nice start against teams like Anchorage, but I wasn't really happy with how we finished," UMD coach Scott Sandelin said. "We showed good spurts, but overall we need to be a lot better than we were for 60-minutes."
Even though the Seawolves struggled to sustain offensive zone pressure, they did outshoot UMD 23-16 in the final 40 minutes, possibly giving them a mental boost going into the series finale on Saturday.
"I was hoping we'd get better as the game went on," Sandelin said. "We know we need to be better, and I'm glad Reiter showed up."
Reiter finished with 27 saves for his second-straight shutout and ninth of his career, tying him atop the all-time UMD shutout list with former All-American Alex Stalock. After starting the year 1-2, Reiter has backstopped the Bulldogs in each game during their 5-0-2 run, boosting his goals against average and save percentage in the process.
"I'm seeing the puck well, and the guys are playing well in front of me," Reiter said. "I was focused throughout the game tonight."
Basaraba opened the scoring 4:38 in with a one-timer that beat Gunderson low after a perfect saucer pass from Connolly found it's way through several UAA sticks. Casto floated a shot through traffic that bounced in just 30 seconds later, and Connolly batted home a power play goal before the seven-minute mark.
Hendrickson put the Bulldogs up 4-0 six-minutes later, giving UMD and Reiter more than enough cushion.
Travis Oleksuk scored the final goal of the contest, his tenth of the year. UMD's power play went two-for-three, the Bulldogs were perfect shorthanded and Connolly and Brady Lamb each had two assists.
However, UMD coaches and players know they must play a more complete game tomorrow night, as UAA is certain to come out hungry for it's first points in WCHA play.
"They pressed pretty hard in the third period," Reiter said. "We're going to look at some video and try to patch things up so they don't have those stints tomorrow."

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
Sorry, really have to disagree with the column. I made the switch to arcane and immediately my damage went up 3k. After 2 weeks i'm doing 18k average when i was doing 12k with fire. It's painful since I've always had a fire mage across several games and mmos.
Yes fire, is better with aoe, but nothing lives long enough to take advantage of a combustion impact except single target bosses, where arcane is king. A perfect combustion can push fire above Arcane on single target, for 10 seconds, every 2 minutes.
And on another track, it seems like what blizzard does to 'fix' fire only breaks it more. Post 4.2 I found it substantially harder not only to get impact to proc, but the dots do not spread consistently or as far as they are supposed to. I've seen LB impact to a mob but not PB!, and I've seen mobs not get any dots when when they were in melee range to my target. It's incredibly frustrating and one of the reasons I switched.
IMO, fire needs to be faster and hit harder. It's the bottom of the charts for a reason (other than nobody plays them as the article argues).


text: The Midwest drought is still causing issues. While most of Ohio is not under a drought. Severe drought does take up most of the country's farm land. There still hasn't been a significant shift in the weather pattern to ease conditions. There is still plenty of time for a pattern change to occur before the next growing season. Average or above average late winter snow and spring rain is needed for this area, otherwise the drought could worsen and food production may take another hit in 2013.

Publication: The Day
Groton - The Board of Education closed a tumultuous chapter in school district history Monday by officially firing former Superintendent Paul Kadri.
The school board, without making any comments, voted unanimously to accept the March 5 decision of independent arbitrator Timothy Bornstein, who ruled that Kadri's behavior toward district employees was grounds for termination.
Kadri was accused of belittling, harassing and bullying behavior by numerous school employees, driving some to tears and others to flee the school system. Kadri, who hasn't worked in the system since the school board placed him on leave in May, has denied those claims but had agreed to accept the decision of the arbitrator following a hearing.
He is now permanently barred from school district property.
School Board Chairwoman Kirsten Hoyt said Monday's vote was probably not needed, but was recommended by the district's attorney.
The school board, which convened into a closed door personnel meeting Monday night, is expected to start discussions about the how to proceed with the search for a new superintendent.
"It's time for our district to heal and move forward," said Beth Horler, president of the Groton Education Association, a union representing 455 teachers.
Horler urged the school board to "do the right thing," and include the stakeholders in the search and interview process for the new superintendent. She gave credit to faculty and staff for keeping their focus on education over the past 10 months.
"We got to work despite the tension and drama elsewhere," she said.
The school board is expected to put together a committee for the search that will include parents, administrators and school faculty, something similar to what was in place when the board hired John Ramos as interim superintendent in September.
Ramos, who has a contract until June, has not indicated whether he would seek the permanent position.
From 2005 to 2011, Ramos was the school superintendent in Bridgeport, the state's second-largest school district. Ramos has said he left by "mutual agreement," during a time when the school system's school board was dissolved in favor of a state-appointed board.

5 Stocks Under $10 Set to Soar
Another under-$10 name that' trading within range of a major breakout trade is Gevo (GEVO), a renewable chemicals and advanced biofuels company. Gevo is focused on the development and commercialization of alternatives to petroleum-based products. This stock is off to a slow start in 2012, with shares up just 4.8%.
If you take a look at the chart for Gevo, you'll notice that this stock has been destroyed by the sellers, with shares dropping from its May high of $10.25 to a recent low of $4.84 a share. That monster move lower happened rapidly since Gevo lost over 40% in value in just a few weeks, after the stock sliced through its 50-day and 200-day moving averages. That said, the stock has started to find some near-term buying interest off its recent lows of $4.84 to $5.30 a share.
Shares of Gevo briefly broke out on Thursday above some near-term overhead resistance at $6.09 with heavy volume. The stock hit an intraday high of $6.39 and volume was 297,800 shares, which was well above its three-month average action of 167,689 shares.>>7 Stocks Soaring on Big Volume Market players should now look for long-biased trades in GEVO if it can manage to trigger break out above some near-term overhead resistance at $6.37 a share with high-volume. Look for volume off a sustained move or close above $6.37 that registers near or above its three-month average action of 167,689 shares. If we get that high-volume move above $6.37 a share, then GEVO could easily spike higher towards its 200-day moving average of $7.96 or even its 50-day moving average of $8.24 a share. If you buy this stock off of weakness to anticipate the breakout, then I would use a mental stop around $5.30 a share. If you buy off strength on a high-volume move over $6.37, then I would use a stop at around $6.09 a share, which was the previous breakout level. Keep in mind that GEVO will only have a chance of hitting those targets if it's trending above $6.37 with strong upside volume flows.

PLAYERS: Chris Bosh
TEAMS: Miami Heat
TEAMS: Miami Heat
It sounds odd given his hierarchy in the Heat's big three, but Chris Bosh actually has a solid resume to one day get enshrined into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield, Mass. If you ask the Heat center, though, you might as well start engraving his plaque now. Bosh said he's already a lock to make the Hall of Fame and has been for a while now. "Hell, yeah, of course. I've been a Hall of Famer like four years ago," Bosh told FOX Sports Florida. "And I say that very serious, though. I've talked about it before with my friends." Bosh has averaged 19.7 points and 9.0 rebounds per game in his nine-year career with the Raptors and Heat. He has one championship under his belt and was just named to his eighth All-Star Game. The only NBA player to make eight or more NBA All-Star Game appearances and not make the Hall of Fame is Larry Foust. Foust played from 1950-1962 with the Pistons, Lakers and Hawks. He averaged 13.7 points and 9.8 rebounds per game. Bosh's status...

My name is Csilla Wunderle-Krátky and originally came from Hungary with my husband.
We arrived in 2008 and really enjoy to be here in this beautiful country.
I was always interested about healthy lifestyle from a holistic approach (mental, spiritual and physical health).
I have got a teacher degree as a Teacher of health education (which is including: Psychology and children psychology. Health sciences, health promotion and mental health promotion built upon physical, mental and social health. Healthy life-style, body and health culture and apply and transmit this knowledge as a model).
I have been working with children as a nanny for 4 years here in New Zealand and I use this approach in the weekdays and works well. I also give massage to the children and incredibly how relaxing is it.
I am also a qualified therapist of Transpersonal Psychology and Breathing (Re-birthing, Vivian and Holotrop Breathing). I have taken/ and later I kept several courses in Hungary in the topics of spirituality and wellbeing (such as chakras, mudras, chakra breathing, etc…)
In my opinion is that, not just mind and soul, but the physical level is very important too. I found it massage is the one of the best and fastest way to get the body relaxed and release the stress.
I started to learn massage techniques here in New Zealand and I have already got Relaxation Massage and Relaxation Reflexology Certificate. But honestly it is a never ending story, if you start to learn something interesting you want to know more and more.
I really passionate and keen to do massage and help to feel better, more relaxed, refreshed and rejuvenated yourself.
I can guarantee after my massage you will feel deeply relaxed and rejuvenated -just like re-birthing:)

Interview: Brandon Smith - 7 Horns 7 Eyes
NAME: Brandon Smith
WEAPON: Bass
BAND: 7 Horns 7 Eyes (Basick Records / Century Media)
BUY: Single Convalescence available to buy on iTunes NOW - http://itunes.apple.com/gb/album/convalescence-single/id449360040
Tell us about the band for people who haven't yet experienced you yet!
We are based in the Seattle, WA area and have been playing under the name 7 Horns 7 Eyes for just over 4 years now. Before that it had a different name and Aaron (my brother) is the only member left from that era. I joined pretty much at the name change. There have been 4 or so member changes, but I won't bore you with how each one came to be, but each one was more or less already a friend of the band. The name 7 Horns 7 Eyes comes from the Book of Revelation in the Bible.
Your music sits comfortably in the darker realms of the tech metal spectrum – what bands are you inspired by or listen to regularly?
We have a very wide range of music tastes and preferences that covers most of the musical spectrum, but when it comes to Metal our biggest influences would have to be Swallow The Sun, Meshuggah, Nevermore, and Daylight Dies. Each dude in the band listens to lots of other bands, but I feel like these are the ones which have influenced our sound the most.
You were picked up recently by Century Media and Basick Records – how did that come about?
We had been recording our first full length completely independently when we first generated label interest. Eventually we got in touch with Century and Basick and ended up linking a deal. It was actually pretty nice how things just fell into place… It almost couldn't have gone better. Both labels are very excited to get the music out their and promote it too!
Can you tell us a little about the making of your new single Convalescence – how it came together, who was the main songwriter etc?
Aaron is the primary writer of the songs. He writes most of the parts and then structures it. Everyone else gives their input and adds their own flare and vibe to each song though. It's definitely a mutual process. The 2 songs and 1 interlude are going to be on the upcoming full length titled 'The Throes Of Absolution'. They were recorded during the same session of the full length. I guess you could call it an album teaser, just something to get people excited and to hold them over until the album comes out. The artwork turned out great too. It gives a general idea of the vibe of the artwork that will be on the full length.
How would you sum up the new record to someone that has never listened the band?
Dark, heavy, epic, melodic, technical almost all at the same time? Lots of killer leads as well, Sean is a great guitarist! I would say a tasteful mixture of the bands I listed in our influences. You can definitely tell who we are influenced by, but it doesn't sound like a direct copy or rip off of them.
What have been the high and low points during your time in the band?
Signing to Century Media and Basick is probably the highest so far. I've been listening to Metal for a long time now and CM has always been like the Capital or Universal of metal… So to sign with them was a huge dream come true. And doing a European release with Basick is the icing on the cake! The lowest (aside from our many unlucky van problems) would probably have to our original singer Kyle quitting last year. Huge downer, but JJ has stepped up and done a phenomenal job since then!
What new releases have you heard lately that you were impressed by?
The new 'Omnium Gatherum' record is awesome. Super good Melodic Death done right that has complex structures! Not too common anymore when it comes to that genre. Both of the new Devin Townsend albums are obviously killer. Devin could probably (and almost does!) write any genre of music and I'm sure it would be good. The new 'Fen' album's good stuff. The newest 'Ulver' is good too; they never sit still, always changing! Really enjoyed that release. The newest Pestilence is cool as well. Really heavy stuff with like a introverted riffing style! They have found a good sound since they reformed a few years ago. That's about all that I can think of right now. Oh and the new Foo Fighters! Dave Grohl is a genius.
What are your interests/hobbies outside of music?
Baseball is one of my favorite things, especially the Seattle Mariners! My life almost rotates around their schedule during the season, haha. Other then that I like playing video games somewhat often and researching historical stuff.
Final question - do you have any last words for your fans over in Europe and the UK?
Thanks for listening and we'll see you soon!
Check out 7 Horns 7 Eyes new digital single 'Convalescence' on iTunes. The single also features the tracks "Vindicator" and "The Winnowing", both of which will be on the band's new full-length album, "Throes Of Absolution."
Featuring a guest appearance by Jeff Loomis (ex-NEVERMORE), the highly-anticipated "Throes Of Absolution" will soon be released through Basick Records and fans can expect extensive touring from 7 HORNS 7 EYES in support of the album.

Latest Player Updatesclose
Fernando Martinez
Tue Jun 18, 2013 9:32 pm Yankees acquired OF Fernando Martinez from the Astros in exchange for RHP Charles Basford.
Fantasy Source Spin: Martinez cleared waivers last month after being designated for assignment, but he'll now get a fresh start in another organization. The former top prospect is a career .206/.269/.362 hitter over parts of five major league seasons. He'll be assigned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
Sat May 11, 2013 4:34 pm Astros sent OF Fernando Rodriguez outright to Triple-A Oklahoma City.
Fantasy Source Spin: Rodriguez was designated for assignment by the Astros on Monday evening but passed through waivers and will remain with the club as organizational outfield depth. The former top prospect is headed in the wrong direction.
Mon May 6, 2013 6:24 pm Astros designated OF Fernando Martinez for assignment.
Fantasy Source Spin: The former top prospect got a late start to the season due to an oblique strain, and he batted only .182/.229/.273 in 11 games after returning. Martinez is still just 24, so someone might take a chance on him on waivers, but it's pretty clear at this point that he'll never come close to living up to his previous hype.
Sat Apr 20, 2013 4:54 pm Astros activated OF Fernando Martinez from the 15-day disabled list.
Fantasy Source Spin: Martinez has been out since spring training because of an oblique strain. The 24-year-old should get regular playing time in the Houston outfield while J.D. Martinez recovers from a sprained right knee.
Sun Apr 14, 2013 1:39 pm Fernando Martinez (oblique) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Sunday.
Fantasy Source Spin: Martinez has been dealing with an oblique strain since late in spring training. The 24-year-old should be activated before the end of the month as long as he can avoid a setback.
Source: Brian McTaggart on Twitter
Fri Apr 5, 2013 5:07 pm Fernandez Martinez (oblique) is scheduled to hit in the cage on Friday.
Fantasy Source Spin: Martinez was forced to begin the season on the disabled list with a strained oblique, but he is beginning to make progress. The 24-year-old should serve as a part-time outfielder upon his return.
Source: Brian T. Smith on Twitter
Sat Mar 30, 2013 1:48 pm Astros placed OF Fernando Martinez on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to March 27, with a strained oblique.
Fantasy Source Spin: It's the same injury that he's dealt with for over a week. Now that he's been officially ruled out for the start of the season, it's possible the Astros could target Casper Wells or Julio Borbon should they become available. J.D. Martinez has also been recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City in a corresponding move.
Thu Mar 28, 2013 4:25 pm Fernando Martinez (back) could begin the season on the 15-day disabled list.
Fantasy Source Spin: Martinez was scratched from Thursday's lineup due to lower back tightness and is scheduled to see a doctor in Houston on Friday. "I think it's the [left] oblique right now," said Martinez. "I feel a little more pain right now than I did before. Hopefully a couple of days off and I'll be back." If a stint on the disabled list is required, it wouldn't be surprising to see the Astros land an outfielder off waivers in the coming days.
Source: MLBlogs.com
Thu Mar 28, 2013 12:04 pm Fernando Martinez was scratched from the Astros' spring lineup on Thursday due to lower back discomfort.
Fantasy Source Spin: Martinez has been dealing with lower back discomfort for over a week, and there's now a decent chance that he won't be ready for the Astros' Opening Night game on March 31 against the Rangers. He is expected to serve as a utility outfielder this season for Houston.
Source: Brian McTaggart on Twitter
Mon Mar 25, 2013 2:52 pm Fernando Martinez has made the Astros' 25-man roster.
Fantasy Source Spin: Martinez has been out of action for over a week with a back injury, but the 'Stros expect him to be fine by Opening Day. He will serve as a backup outfielder.
Source: Brian McTaggart on Twitter
Fri Mar 22, 2013 10:36 am Fernando Martinez (back) is expected to return to the lineup Sunday.
Fantasy Source Spin: Martinez, who has been out of action nearly a week, participated in batting practice Thursday and said his back feels "much better." He's competing for an Opening Day roster spot.
Source: Houston Chronicle
Thu Mar 21, 2013 4:38 pm Fernando Martinez (back) is expected to return to game action soon.
Fantasy Source Spin: Martinez hasn't played since leaving Saturday's game with back tightness. It doesn't sound like a major concern, but he's running out of time to prove that he's worthy of a roster spot.
Source: Brian T. Smith on Twitter
Sun Mar 17, 2013 8:58 am Fernando Martinez is not in Sunday's lineup due to back tightness.
Fantasy Source Spin: Martinez exited Saturday's contest with the ailment. He should be fine in a few days.
Source: Brian McTaggart on Twitter
Thu Mar 7, 2013 4:06 pm Fernando Martinez doubled and singled in his two at-bats against the Nationals on Thursday.
Fantasy Source Spin: Martinez is 6-for-16 with a homer, two doubles and four RBI this spring. Since he's out of options, he's a very good bet to make the Astros if healthy. Still, there might be less playing time available for him now that Chris Carter is penciled in as the left fielder.
Sun Feb 24, 2013 5:16 pm Fernando Martinez homered off Matt Harvey as the Astros and Mets played to a 7-7 tie on Sunday.
Fantasy Source Spin: Martinez skipped the WBC to enhance his chances of making the Astros. That he's out of options will definitely give him an edge if he puts together a respectable exhibition season.
Tue Feb 12, 2013 8:54 am Fernando Martinez will not play for the Spain in the upcoming World Baseball Classic.
Fantasy Source Spin: The change of heart comes after Astros general manager Jeff Luhnow said last month that Martinez's decision to play in the WBC could hurt his chances of making the Opening Day roster. "I just thought about and I figured it would be a lost couple of weeks and I want to make the team here," said Martinez. F-Mart batted .237/.300/.466 with six home runs, 14 RBI and a .766 OPS in 41 games with the Astros last season and will be in the mix for the starting right field job this spring.
Source: MLBlogs.com
Thu Jan 17, 2013 7:35 pm Astros GM Jeff Luhnow said Thursday that Fernando Martinez's decision to participate in the 2013 WBC "potentially hurts" his shot at an opening day roster spot.
Fantasy Source Spin: That quote probably isn't sitting well with World Baseball Classic organizers. F-Mart, who is currently penciled in as the Astros' starting right fielder, has pledged himself to Team Spain. He should be back in fine standing with Houston management if he doesn't get hurt.
Source: Brian McTaggart on Twitter
Mon Oct 1, 2012 10:52 pm Fernando Martinez went 2-for-3 with a long solo home run and two runs scored in Monday's win over the Cubs.
Fantasy Source Spin: Martinez has hit safely in five straight games and has homered in three straight. The former top prospect now has six homers in 40 games with the Astros this year. His injury history is difficult to ignore and his plate discipline (32/6 K/BB ratio) leaves a lot to be desired, but he could be an interesting name to watch if the Astros use him out of the DH spot next year.
Sun Sep 16, 2012 10:15 pm Fernando Martinez is being listed as day-to-day with a right knee injury.
Fantasy Source Spin: The severity of the injury isn't yet known. Martinez was scratched from the Astros' lineup Sunday, and will be reevaluated early next week.
Source: Astros.mlb.com
Sat Sep 8, 2012 5:06 am Fernando Martinez appeared as a pinch-hitter in Friday's game against the Reds.
Fantasy Source Spin: Martinez hadn't played since being scratched from the Astros' lineup Wednesday. The injury is a non-issue going forward.
Wed Sep 5, 2012 6:46 pm Fernando Martinez was scratched from the Astros' lineup Wednesday with an inflamed boil on his inner thigh.
Fantasy Source Spin: That sounds pleasant. Martinez will get the thing treated and attempt to return in a few days. The 23-year-old outfielder is 14-for-70 (.200) so far for Houston.
Source: Zachary Levine on Twitter
Sat Sep 1, 2012 1:13 am Fernando Martinez went 1-for-4 with a solo homer as the Astros fell to the Reds on Friday night.
Fantasy Source Spin: Martinez, formerly a top prospect, has gotten the chance to receive semi-regular playing time with the Astros, but he hasn't responded favorably. He's hitting just .182/.194/.379 with three homers and seven RBI through his first 67 plate appearances, whiffing a whopping 23 times. He shouldn't be an option in all but the deepest of NL-only leagues.
Thu Aug 23, 2012 5:15 pm Fernando Martinez doubled twice and walked against the Cardinals on Thursday.
Fantasy Source Spin: The walk was his first of the year. While he has just seven hits in 44 at-bats for the Astros, at least five of them have gone for extra bases. Still, it doesn't look like the Mets lost much when they decided to let him go.
Tue Aug 14, 2012 10:56 pm Fernando Martinez clubbed a three-run homer Tuesday against the Cubs.
Fantasy Source Spin: It was Martinez's first home run in the big leagues since last May 13 as a member of the Mets. The former top prospect has scuffled in limited playing time with the Astros this year, but posted solid numbers during his time with Triple-A Oklahoma City. He's worth a look in NL-only leagues.
Fri Aug 10, 2012 2:11 pm Astros recalled OF Fernando Martinez from Triple-A Oklahoma City.
Fantasy Source Spin: Martinez picked up just one hit in 15 at-bats earlier this season for the Astros before suffering a concussion. He's had a nice year at Triple-A, though, batting .314/.367/.507 with 13 homers and 62 RBI. He should receive pretty regular playing time in the outfield.

Wow, Jenelle Evans moves fast! It's been, what, two months since the Teen Mom 2 star shared the news that she was expecting baby number two? And she's already shared her baby's gender this week and now ... the baby name!
At least, what appears to be the name Jenelle and boyfriend Nathan Griffith have chosen for their first child together (second child for each of them) is out. A source disclosed to In Touch that they've already settled on both a first and a last name.
Are you ready for this?
Jenelle's baby boy will reportedly be named Kaiser Griffith -- no word on a middle name. Not bad! It's unusual but not weird, kind of like Jace.
More From The Stir: Jenelle Evans Shares Exclusive Details on Her Pregnancy
But here's the thing .... Jenelle isn't due until June, and late June at that! It's a little early to be sharing the name, don't you think?
Granted it was a "source," not Jenelle herself, so you know, grain of salt and all that. And maybe I've just been spending a little too much time around moms who are superstitious!
I know more than a few who were tight-lipped about the baby's name right up until the little one actually arrived and some even beyond -- for various reasons. Some moms are afraid their baby name will be "stolen," or used by some pregnant friend who pops before them (personally I've always thought that one was silly, but to each their own).
There are also the moms who worry about changing their mind ... I know a couple who didn't actually settle on baby's name until they were about to leave the hospital! One good mom friend had a name in mind right up until the end ... and then I see the announcement on Facebook, and it's totally different. This kind of thing happens all the time -- it could well happen to Jenelle too! She's got four more months of pregnancy ... plenty of time to decide Kaiser isn't going to cut it.
Not to mention lot of moms out there who carry fears about somehow jinxing the pregnancy by being too open -- be it sharing a baby name or even having a baby shower.
Something tells me Jenelle isn't the superstitious type, however. She's been an open book about this pregnancy!
How soon is too soon to share a baby name? What do you think of Kaiser?

I'm not due til August but everyone knows our baby names, I find this really silly, I get the superstition about telling about being pregnant before 3 months, which has never stopped me, but not the name thing. I'm an open book pregnant, and one of th things I am grateful for is when I lost a baby in September and had only just found out, I had told it on fb right when i found out i was pregnant and then when I did lose it I had the most Amazing support, which I would not have had if I had not shared it on fb. To each their own.
Maybe she likes the movie "The Usual Suspects"?
Due ed of July and everyone knows the names we've got picked out. I don't get the big deal.
But Kaiser? While I realise its probably supposed to mean something to them all I can think of is a Kaiser bun.
Why does it matter if she told the gender & name to early & it's not like she's wrote the name on a birth certificate already she has PLENTY of time to change it! Get a grip some people just like sharing the name or gender when they know & not just waiting to "introduce" the child to the world!
