Nootropics – Using Smart Drugs and Brain Enhancers
Nootropics are drugs that are often referred to as smart drugs or brain enhancers. They are claimed to enhance learning and increase cognitive ability – the ability to understand. The term nootropic was first used by Dr. Corneliu E. Giurgea in 1972. The word is derived from Greek: noos (νους) and tropeo (τροπέω) meaning 'mind' and 'to turn' respectively. So they were known to the Greeks as mind-turning drugs.
What are Nootropics?
Fundamentally, nootropics encompass all drugs that change the mind, from LSD to memory-enhancing substances. They generally refer to smart drugs or cognitive enhancers. They are controversial in that they are normally used for non-medical purposes. Take LSD (lysergic acid diethylamide) for example. While this drug is best known for hallucinogenic trips, it has been used as a treatment for some forms of mental illness.
Nootropic drugs have been used to treat several forms of motor function or cognitive conditions, including Parkinson's Disease, Alzheimer's, Huntington's Disease and ADHD. While nootropics tend to get bad publicity due to the way many people use them recreationally, they can improve memory and cognitive function in those that use them those specific purposes.
Are Nootropics Ethical?
The use of nootropics has generated a great deal of ethical discussion with regard to their ethical use in giving an advantage to students that use them. At the other end of the spectrum is the question of safety. Are they safe to use? The safety of regularly using nootropic substances has often been called into question.
There may be too many doctors providing prescriptions for such drugs that are not available over the counter. Nevertheless, they continue to be used in spite of the potential danger of psychiatric harm by those using them.
That said, what are nootropics used for in general medical terms as opposed to recreational use? Here are a few things you should know about nootropics, such as their chemical identity and any brand name they are known by. Also, can nootropic substances legitimately be used for anything other than recreational purposes?
Examples of Nootropic Substances
We have already mentioned LSD as a nootropic drug that has both medical and recreational uses. Others fit the definition, although it's very important to understand the meaning of the word nootropic in terms of its effectiveness with regard to substances that meet the definition.
Caffeine and Cocaine: An example of the diversity of such substances, cocaine and caffeine are both classed as nootropics. However, there is a huge difference between these two substances in terms of consequences of use. This underlines the importance of focusing on the individual substance you are using rather than its generic classification. You should never use cocaine as a nootropic due to the very great danger of addiction. While caffeine can be addictive to an extent, it is nowhere near as dangerous as cocaine.
L-Theanine: L-theanine is a component of tea – both black and green teas. Its individual nootropic effect is to generate relaxation, but also alertness and arousal. So you can feel more alert, but also relaxed and ready for action. It also acts synergistically with caffeine to improve memory, mental endurance and reaction time. You can take green tea as a drink or a capsule, and the leaf is generally rich in caffeine as well as L-theanine.
Nicotine: Nicotine is a powerful nootropic if taken correctly. It improves the production of energy from the mitochondria in your body cells. This is in turn improves your brain function. It's a powerful smart drug, but has its drawbacks. A lot depends on how you take it. Smoking tobacco is not one of these ways. Perhaps the best way is a spray that you can spray under your tongue.
Another way to take nicotine is by means of nicotine lozenges that provide the low dose that is relatively safe. That said, nicotine can be a dangerous substance and can create dependency. Many people recommend it, but we do not.
This is particularly so if you were once a smoker. You can easily find yourself hooked on tobacco if you take nicotine regularly as a nootropic drug. It's the tars in tobacco that destroy your health but the nicotine that gets you hooked!
Amphetamines: Those suffering from ADHD have been recommended to take amphetamines for many years. Many college students take amphetamines round about exam time because they believe it will sharpen their brain. Taking amphetamines present a substantial health risk, and they not recommended as nootropic substances.
It can offer nootropic effects by increasing the amounts of norepinephrine and dopamine in your brain. This improves motivation, attention and short-term memory. The down side is that can cause anxiety and make you jittery. There is also a very definite risk of addiction.
Bacopa Monnieri: This is a small Indian plant that acts as an adaptogen. Adaptogens help your body to normalize its systems and bring all your functions back into balance. For example, it will reduce your cholesterol levels if they are too high, reduce high blood pressure closer to normal and generally help you to adapt to stress. Ginseng and liquorice are adaptogens, and so is bacopa monnieri.
In addition to helping your body to adapt to stress, bacopa monnieri can also help improve memory. It does not work immediately. You must take a supplement for about month or more to see any effects. It is particularly effective with over 65s – improving mood and attentiveness. Its effect will be promoted if you take with fat in your diet.
Lysergic Acid Diethylamide (LSD): While LSD may be a performance enhancing drug, the Jimi Hendrix days appear to be over. Nevertheless, LSD is still being used both for its psychedelic trips (some being fatal) and for its nootropic properties. The dose with LSD is critical – get it wrong and it either does nothing or gives you a bad trip that you may well not survive. With the right dose, users can experience a boost in creativity, focus and empathy. With the wrong dose, they can become delusional, although, on a pro-rata basis, fewer people die from an LSD overdose than from alcohol abuse.
Forskolin: Forskolin is made from the root of an Asian plant in the mint family. It is native to India, Nepal and Thailand and is a component of traditional Asian medicine. While many use it for weight loss and muscle development there is little documented evidence available for its effectiveness.
Some use Forskolin as a folk remedy for asthma. Trials have demonstrated that it may work in a similar way to some regular asthma drugs by boosting cyclic AMP (Cyclic Adenosine Monophosphate or cAMP.) This in turn reduces inflammation of the bronchi and relaxes the smooth muscles making breathing easier. It is also used for weight loss and treating glaucoma – with practically no evidence that it actually works.
Side Effects of Nootropic Drugs
The side effects of some of the nootropic drugs mentioned above are well known. This is particularly the case with amphetamines, cocaine, LSD and, to a lesser extent, nicotine. Most pharmaceutical drugs have long-term or even short-term side effects. Nootropic drugs are no different! Why should they be? They are also available on prescription, as well as some being available over the counter.
Some forms of nootropics have no long-term safety data available. Among these are those that have been available only for a short time. They are non-pharmaceutical substances that are not subject to clinical testing and many are intended only for short-term use where longer term data is unavailable.
One issue could be addiction. Any mind-altering drug must be potentially addictive due their mode of action. However, when only therapeutic doses of such substances are taken, addiction is generally not a problem. The issue is when people take more than they should in the false hope of enhancing the effect.
Recreational Use of Nootropics
Although there is plenty of evidence to prove the benefits of nootropics, the issues involved in recreational use have been the subject of much debate between medical practitioners. Benefits such as memory enhancement, clearer thinking and improved motivation are certainly excellent reasons for taking them. However, how ethical is this and are the potential side effects worth doing so?
Research supports the answer "Yes" but only in specific uses. The adverse effects of recreational uses of nootropic drugs are still the subject of much debate. There is as yet no agreement whether they are safe to use or not. There are potential long-term side effects that might have yet to be seen.
Are Nootropic Drugs Ethical?
There is also the ethical viewpoint. Is it ethical for some people to use drugs to gain an advantage over those students who are either unaware of them, or prefer not to use substances to improve their performance. It sounds a bit like the same issues sporting bodies are having with performance-enhancing drugs.
For now, however, there are no regulations preventing students or anybody else from using nootropics to enhance their academic or examination performance. Perhaps restrictions will be issued sometime in the future, but there seem to be no steps being considered yet.
All Nootropics Are Not Equal
One risk which is rarely commented on is that of lumping all of these substances together under the blanket term 'Nootropics.' There are few doubts that when used according to the strict instructions of medical experts, some are relatively safe. However, is it safe to regard caffeine, cocaine and amphetamines as being the same type of substance?
They are certainly not equal, and it is essential to look on nootropics as a bunch of different substances offering varying degrees of risk, such as dependency or addiction. They also provide different effects and use different pathways to affect the brain.
They are not all smart drugs and brain enhancers – they tend to modify the brain and how it works rather than enhance it. However, if used according to the strict instructions of medical experts, they can be relatively safe to use.

Firstly lets start with the lips and make them a lush red, select your "pen tool" and draw around the lips. Then copy and paste to a new layer, "CTRL + C then CTRL + V".
Rename the layer your lips are on to "lips" then goto "image > adjustments > hue/saturation" or press "CTRL + U" use settings below.
Now once the color is applied set your "lips" layer to "softlight" and opacity to about 80% depending on how red you want the lips.
Now create a new layer an name it "blusher", select your brush tool and select a soft brush with a size of about 100pixels.
Now select your color picker and select a color similar to below.
Now brush the cheeks gently, then set layer mode to "softlight" heres mine.
Now select your pen tool and draw around the eyes like this.
Then copy/paste onto a new layer, select your "burn tool" with a brush size of about 15pixels and just burn around the eyes like this. if its too dark lower the opacity to suit.
Thats it all done. you can also do other things like change hair color and eye color like this.

Minimalist Homeschooler garage; back to square one. Well, maybe it is not square one, maybe we are in square two.
A year ago I read Becoming Minimalist's first blog entry and could identify with the story of spending the day in the garage, while the neighbors went out to play. At the end of the day, Becoming Minimalist father was still working on his garage, and the neighbor commented, "Maybe you don't need to own all that stuff." When it comes to homeschooling, we collect "stuff." So much of the stuff is good.
Last weekend, we were the "neighbors" that played. I woke up and the house was in order. The school room was missing the stacks of books. The library book basket was empty. We had no crafts started. So we played. We tuned up the bicycles and biked to Home Depot for hose attachment, biked to the fruit stand for a cantaloupe, and we biked to the library to get a book.
The garage was decent, because all of our "stuff" was at the homeschool coop sale.
All week I had decluttered books, labeled and delivered them to the sale. I know that not everything would sell, but for that moment, it felt so good.
Fast forward to this week. I am back to being Joshua, author of Becoming Minimalist. My garage is full of stuff, and we can't get to the bikes.
Sometimes I need to feel the success of living with less. Being the minimalist, even if it is a temporary moment of arrival. But, in reality, I am still in the trenches and working to "arrive" at a simplified homeschooling lifestyle.
So, today, I am sorting through the homeschool books and manipulatives. They will not come back into the house. Some will head down to Powell's, which will only give me %20 value. Others I will try to bundle for Craig's List, with some success. The proceeds from selling this will not buy more stuff, but we will be using to buy an experience . . . travel with our homeschool group.
Time to get off the computer and out to the garage. Maybe we will reach the bicycles by afternoon!

As the saying goes "Breakfast like a king" but what does that actually mean?
Eat all the food? Swan for breakfast? Well in my book it means getting up before dawn for a beautiful run through the city's quiet streets then heading up one of London's tallest buildings for breakfast delights as the sun came up.
The fact I got to do this all with my favourite girls was just the crown on the morning – so to speak. We visited Duck and Waffle and I thought I would review the experience for you.
We arrived as the sun was beginning to peak through the clouds are were treated to the best seat in the house, scuse our sleepy eyes, alarms before 5 do not make for well rested faces!
First order of the day was caffeine, some beautiful cappucinos, lattes and pots of delicious teas arrived and we took our time deciding about our food as we watched the beautiful view slowly develop.
Food-wise there was something for everyone. We ordered a selection of the teeny-tiny pastries to start us off and enjoyed the homemade nutella with our teaspoons.
A Full English for Lissy, avocado on toast for Charlie, some crazy pimp-my-menu mix up for Harry
And a beautiful bowl of granola, berry compote and yoghurt for me. I may have polished off Lissy's black pudding as well, may be.
All the food was delicious, beautifully presented and the service wonderful and I would love to go to Duck and Waffle for a sunrise… or sunset again soon. If I can get past the security guard downstairs that is.
Do you have any suggestions for breakfasts with a view for us?

We paid for all our own food and were not invited to write this review. I simply wanted to share the experience with you.

Tripawds is a user-supported community. Thank you for your support!
Over the next few days I'm going to post just different thoughts and also some things I had intended to blog; but never got around to.
On the weekend of March 18 we went up to the cabin. Spencer, my youngest daughter and I went up on Friday. My husband and the twins came up on Saturday. Saturday morning Spencer, my daughter and I went into downtown Blue Ridge for a bit. Walking around there with Spencer was like walking around with a rock star. Everyone wanted to stop and pet the 3 legged dog, find out his story and comment on how great he was doing. At the start of the day he was eager to meet everyone, giving licks and all. By the end of the day you could see that he was like, "look people… that's enough. I have licked a thousand hands and I'm done with greeting the public." 🙂 He started just walking past people and paying attention to my daughter instead.
Sometimes when you are out with a three legged dog you get some negative comments. People suggesting that it would have been better for you to have just put the dog to sleep, or how they cold never do that to their dog, what ever. But mostly, what we encountered was a lot of people amazed by Spencer. <3

Airport union and city battle over police rebranding
CHICAGO — A battle is brewing in the wake of the United Airlines passenger dragging incident between an airport union and the city.
The union representing Chicago's airport police is trying to stop the city's effort to rebrand officers as security detail, rather than as a "special police force".
The union has asked the Illinois Labor Relations Board to order the city to leave the airport officers' "duties and authority" alone until the union has the opportunity to bargain over any changes.

As California continues to suffer the ravages of drought, now comes some good news that may help alleviate future water shortages. A new technology has been developed by scientists at the Palo Alto Research Center that both cleans and recycles water at an incredibly fast rate. According to the Environmental News Network, this new technology relies upon a spiral filtration system where water is pumped through small, lightweight discs removing dirt and other impurities. Although this system produces water that's not quite pure enough to drink, it operates five times faster than conventional methods, which makes state officials optimistic about its potential to help car washes, farms, and other water-intensive industries.

The Solidarity Project
The Solidarity Project took place on the University of Oregon's campus from April 18th – 22nd, 2016. From the beginning of the ARISE internship, we intentionally set the goal to plan an event that would minister to the U of O community. The month of April is nationally recognized as Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM). Once we learned of SAAM, and that the U of O had a SAAM planning committee for events all throughout April, we saw this as a wonderful opportunity get on board and to share God's love with the U of O student body and community.
The Solidarity Project was a wall that stood 8 feet tall and 12 feet long in the middle of the Memorial Quad on campus. The Memorial Quad is a central location on campus many students pass on their way to class. We painted the wall a matte gray and bought an array of acrylic paint-filled markers for the community to use to write upon the surface. The function of the …

Angler Ices Monster 45-Inch Northern Pike in Colorado
Big fish alert! This brute of a northern pike through the ice is one fishing video you need to watch!
Andre Grizz Cameron had no idea what was in store for him when he drilled through five inches of solid black ice on Boxing Day in search of rainbow trout. An experienced ice angler, Cameron has caught his fair share of big fish. This one, however, definitely tops them all.
Using six-pound-test line and a one-inch jig tipped with a wax worm, reeling in a northern pike was the furthest from this angler's mind. That's why when one hit – and a trophy fish at that – he was more surprised than anyone.
According to Cameron's Facebook page, the fight lasted more than one hour in length. It also came close to spooling 100 yards of line during the epic battle.
Here's the incredible footage:
Some pretty tense moments as that monster northern pike swam mere inches below the clear ice! When the smoke settled, this trophy fish measured in at 45 inches and weighed a whopping 27 pounds. That's just 3lbs 11oz. shy of the current Colorado state record, caught by Tim Bone in 2006. As a comparison, Bone's fish measured 46.5 inches.
After being measured and weighed, the fish was returned to the water to swim again. Cameron plans to have a reproduction mount produced to immortalize the incredible catch.
For those wondering, the reel Cameron was using is a Black Betty Inline made by 13.
If you want to feast your eyes on another iced monster pike, check out Ashley Rae's trophy catch. It's definitely worthy of a watch.
A tip of the ice fishing cap to you, Andre. You got your hands on the best Boxing Day bargain of them all!

Digital certificates
A digital certificate is equivalent to an electronic ID card that serves two purposes...
- Establish the identity of the owner of the certificate
- Distribute the owner's public key
Certificates are issued by certificate authorities, which issue certificates containing digital signatures. When a user presents a certificate, the recipient of the certificate validates it by using the digital signature. If the digital signature validates the certificate, the certificate is recognized as intact and authentic. Participants in an application only need to validate certificates; they do not need to authenticate users. The fact that a user can present a valid certificate proves that the CA has authenticated the user. The descriptor, trusted third-party, indicates that the system relies on the trustworthiness of the CAs.
Contents of a digital certificate
A certificate contains several pieces of information, including information about the owner of the certificate and the issuing CA. Specifically, a certificate includes...
- The distinguished name (DN) of the owner. A DN is a unique identifier, a fully qualified name including not only the common name (CN) of the owner but the owner's organization and other distinguishing information.
- The public key of the owner.
- The date on which the certificate was issued.
- The date on which the certificate expires.
- The distinguished name of the issuing CA.
- The digital signature of the issuing CA. (The message-digest function is run over all the preceding fields.)
The core idea of a certificate is that a CA takes the owner's public key, signs the public key with its own private key, and returns the information to the owner as a certificate. When the owner distributes the certificate to another party, it signs the certificate with its private key. The receiver can extract the certificate (containing the CA signature) with the owner's public key. By using the CA public key and the CA signature on the extracted certificate, the receiver can validate the CA signature. If it is valid, the public key used to extract the certificate is recognized as good. The owner signature is then validated, and if the validation succeeds, the owner is successfully authenticated to the receiver.
The additional information in a certificate helps an application decide whether to honor the certificate. With the expiration date, the application can determine if the certificate is still valid. With the name of the issuing CA, the application can check that the CA is considered trustworthy by the site.
A process that uses certificates must provide its personal certificate, the one containing its public key, and the certificate of the CA that signed its certificate, called a signer certificate. In cases where chains of trust are established, several signer certificates can be involved.
Requesting certificates
To get a certificate, send a certificate request to the CA. The certificate request includes...
- The distinguished name of the owner (the user for whom the certificate is requested).
- The public key of the owner.
- The digital signature of the owner.
The message-digest function is run over all these fields.
The CA verifies the signature with the public key in the request to ensure that the request is intact and authentic. The CA then authenticates the owner. Exactly what the authentication consists of depends on a prior agreement between the CA and the requesting organization. If the owner in the request is successfully authenticated, the CA issues a certificate for that owner.
Using certificates: Chain of trust and self-signed certificate
To verify the digital signature on a certificate, have the public key of the issuing CA. Because public keys are distributed in certificates, have a certificate for the issuing CA that is signed by the issuer. One CA can certify other CAs, so a chain of CAs can issue certificates for other CAs, all of whose public keys you need. Eventually, you reach a root CA that issues itself a self-signed certificate. To validate a user's certificate, you need certificates for all intervening participants, back to the root CA. Then you have the public keys you need to validate each certificate, including the user's.
A self-signed certificate contains the public key of the issuer and is signed with the private key. The digital signature is validated like any other, and if the certificate is valid, the public key it contains is used to check the validity of other certificates issued by the CA. However, anyone can generate a self-signed certificate. In fact, you can probably generate self-signed certificates for testing purposes before installing production certificates. The fact that a self-signed certificate contains a valid public key does not mean that the issuer is really a trusted certificate authority. To ensure that self-signed certificates are generated by trusted CAs, such certificates must be distributed by secure means (hand-delivered on floppy disks, downloaded from secure sites, and so on).
Applications that use certificates store these certificates in a keystore file. This file typically contains the necessary personal certificates, its signing certificates, and its private key. The private key is used by the application to create digital signatures. Servers always have personal certificates in their keystore files. A client requires a personal certificate only if the client must authenticate to the server when mutual authentication is enabled.
To allow a client to authenticate to a server, a server keystore file contains the private key and the certificate of the server and the certificates of its CA. A client truststore file must contain the signer certificates of the CAs of each server to which the client must authenticate.
If mutual authentication is needed, the client keystore file must contain the client private key and certificate. The server truststore file requires a copy of the certificate of the client CA.

Sharon Osbourne Plastic Surgery Before & After
Rock icon Sharon Osborne, most known for her long-time marriage to Black Sabbath front-man Ozzy Ozbourne and groundbreaking reality show 'The Osbornes' is one of the toughest women in show-business but she may have met her match finally: Plastic Surgery!
"I've had enough," says Osbourne, who may be one of the most vocal and outspoken celebrities around plastic surgery.
A long-time advocate and cosmetic surgery participant, Osbourne says that while she still endorses and is a fan of the procedures that she's personally had her fill.
"I've had enough," she says on the various procedures and their recovery, noting her boob job in particular being the worst thing she had ever done.
"I'm too old for all that."
Osbourne has spent over $230,000 on cosmetic surgery over the years, getting just about every part that could be lifted, tucked, grown, reduced or enhanced that you can imagine. She insists it was something that needed to be done and has no regrets.
"It was worth every last penny. I love cosmetic surgery," The very vocal Englishwoman states.
Osbourne's fall under the knife began after gastric bypass surgery and the recovery afterward as she lost half her weight in the process and was left with a sagging skin that needed such remedies to fix. The 53-year-old's trips under the knife are well-documented and 'before and after' photos reveal quite a difference in her appearance.
Most recently the rock mom has made headlines about having the last body part imaginable having some work done, something she vehemently denies after putting it out there as a joke.
Sharon Osbourne can be seen on weekdays on CBS's "The Take", co-hosted by Big Brother's Julie Chen, the executive producer of all Osbourne productions and has worked with X-Factor and America's Got Talent.

Bel-Air mansions under threat as California wildfires rage
Latest update : 2017-12-07
A wind-whipped wildfire raged on Wednesday into a wealthy Southern California neighborhood, destroying at least four homes, threatening dozens more and scorching a building at a winery owned by billionaire media mogul Rupert Murdoch.
The so-called Skirball Fire, which erupted early on Wednesday as the latest in a rash of major blazes fueled by hot, dry Santa Ana winds, had burned about 150 acres near large estates in the Bel-Air neighborhood of Los Angeles by early afternoon.
Firefighters battled to save multimillion-dollar homes in the path of the flames, which also forced the closure of the San Diego (405) Freeway in both directions, and warned that if the winds picked up again in the evening the situation could become even more dire.
"It would be safe to say there are hundreds of homes in the area," said Brian Humphrey, spokesman for the Los Angeles Fire Department.
Murdoch's winery, Moraga Vineyards, was evacuated on Wednesday morning as the fire descended on the grounds, a spokeswoman said. Later a structure on the property was seen on fire as a water-dropping helicopter tried to extinguish the flames.
The new fire also prompted the nearby Getty Center museum to close the doors at its hilltop campus to prevent damage to its world-class art collection.
The Skirball Fire in the area south of scenic Mulholland Drive and north of Sunset Boulevard is just one of several major out-of-control brush fires that have sprung up in Southern California since Monday, when Santa Ana wind conditions set in.
In Ventura, some 50 miles northwest of Los Angeles, more than 1,000 firefighters battled the largest, the Thomas Fire, which has already destroyed more than 150 homes and threatened thousands more.
California Governor Jerry Brown declared a state of emergency on Tuesday, freeing state funds and resources to assist firefighters.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency said it approved grants to help cover the cost of emergency work for the Thomas Fire and two others.
U.S. President Donald Trump said on Wednesday his thoughts and prayers were with everyone in the path of the wildfires.
"I encourage everyone to heed the advice and orders of local and state officials," Trump wrote on Twitter. "THANK YOU to all First Responders for your incredible work."
Although no casualties have been reported, the fires have forced mass evacuations, cancellation of classes at dozens of schools and resulted in the loss of power at more than 250,000 homes in Ventura County.
In the San Fernando Valley north of Los Angeles, the Creek Fire destroyed at least 30 homes, blackened more than 11,000 acres and forced the evacuation of 2,500 homes and a convalescent center north of Interstate 210 on Tuesday.
Three firefighters were injured and hospitalized in stable condition, the Los Angeles Fire Department said.
The Santa Ana winds, which blow westward from the California desert, were forecast to top out at 70 miles per hour (115 km per hour) on Wednesday and remain strong through the week.

Socceroos coach Ange Postecoglou has denounced Western Sydney's active support group as "juvenile idiots" and called for lifetime bans on Red and Black Bloc members involved in the offensive Sydney derby banner.
The Wanderers issued a belated formal apology to Graham Arnold on Saturday, a week after members of the RBB unfurled a tifo of the Sydney FC coach engaging in a sex act during their team's 1-0 win.
Facing a major backlash from sponsors and Football Federation Australia, the club suspended the memberships of 14 fans for an 18-month period and threatened to shut down their entire active support area if the RBB don't pull themselves into line.
But Postecoglou argued the A-League was better off without them altogether.
"It's a bunch of juvenile idiots and we shouldn't be talking about it a week later," Postecoglou told ABC program Offsiders on Sunday.
"I know there's people talking about the punishment and the timing, just get rid of them.
"They're juveniles, they don't belong, and it's got nothing to do with the sport to be honest.
"I'm pretty sick and tired of it."
Luongo helps QPR beat Millwall in derby

Paralympic Silver Medalist Amanda Reid trains for VI Soccer
Postecoglou said the saga had become an unpleasant distraction for the Wanderers, who were thumped 4-0 in their Asian Champions League opener on Tuesday before losing 2-0 in Perth on Saturday night.
The Sky Blues, meanwhile, bounced back with a 3-1 win over Melbourne City.
"They're not supporters," Postecoglou said.
"If they were supporters they'd be more concerned about the plight of their club than sitting there and trying to come up with something they think is funny.
"I'd like them to front and apologise with their parents sitting behind them and see how they feel."
Postecoglou's remarks come at the same time as a Fairfax Media report claims an unnamed Chinese Super League club are set to make an approach for the Socceroos boss's services.
The 51-year-old has nearly 18 months left on his five-year contract with FFA as he attempts to qualify Australia for a fourth consecutive World Cup.

Websites audit – online marketing analysis
Do you know how much your home page actually profits your company?
A home page must serve certain measurable goals. Knowing what exactly is happening on your home page, you are well-equipped to make informed decisions to make sure your home page delivers more profit.
Make your home page work purposefully!
Websites audit constitutes a service where our experts collaborate with you to set certain measurable goals and configure an Internet analysis tool (Google Analytics) to keep track of such goals. Above goals might include making of successful purchases, submission of quote inquiries through a contact form on your home page, new members joining your mailing list etc. Measurement of ad campaign results should be considered obligatory in the case of social media campaigns and e-mail based campaigns. You can also keep track of traditional channels (printed media, radio, TV) based advertizing if you connect the ads to specific web addresses and web pages.Furthermore, you'll gain an overview of the online channels that have directed visitors to your home page. With configurations undertaken in collaboration with the client it can be ascertained which online advertizing channels work best for you.
It is important to keep track of your home page traffic!
Most of the time, it is not prudent for small and medium-sized enterprises to employ an Internet statistics analyst that would screen related data for any information of business relevance. While a home page is an important channel in winning new customers, it is equally important to know as precisely as possible what visitors are doing when visiting your home page and how an even greater number of visitors could be turned into customers. The most reasonable and financially smart way is to purchase the relevant service from a competent company.
We'll take care of the installation and configuration of Google Analytics as well as of any technical issues related to the analytics service.

A passenger from Frontier Airlines flight 1143 flew into Reno-Tahoe International Airport and was checked for Ebola. That is the flight the second nurse diagnosed with the deadly disease was on before being admitted to the hospital.
Officials say the individual does not pose significant risk and was released. What the hell does 'significant' mean and are they a risk or not?
"We currently have no reason to expect that this individual poses any risk to the community," said Washoe County District Health Officer Kevin Dick. "The individual reported to a health care facility, was screened and released according to CDC directives. The CDC determined that this individual did not pose a significant risk."
The second nurse shouldn't have traveled on a commercial flight due to her exposure to the virus before her diagnosis, said Dr. Tom Frieden, director of the CDC. It was later confirmed that the CDC gave the nurse permission to get on the plane because she was showing no symptoms and her temperature hadn't reach the threshold of 100.4 degrees.
First the CDC said Ebola wouldn't come here, but it did; said it was hard to get, which it isn't; said it wouldn't spread, yet it has; and that they're prepared for it, they're not. Somehow — with the CDC involved in Washoe County's decision making process – I don't feel very safe.

Puerto Rico overwhelmingly votes for statehood in nonbinding referendum
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico — Puerto Rico's governor says the U.S. territory has overwhelmingly chosen statehood in a non-binding referendum.
Ricardo Rossello said Sunday that the island has sent a strong and clear message to U.S. Congress and the world.
Nearly half a million votes were cast for statehood, more than 7,600 for free association/independence and nearly 6,700 for independence. The participation rate was nearly 23 percent with roughly 2.26 million registered voters.
But many question the validity of the vote amid a low turnout and a boycott by several opposition parties.
U.S. Congress has final say on any changes to the U.S. territory's political status, regardless of the referendum's final outcome.

So I read this book, and then I read this article. The combination of the two forced me to think about means of resistance. How did these two artists utilize silence and documentation to resist marginalization and persecution of homosexuals in mid-century America?
Eccolo, excerpts from a recent paper:
Traversing numerous cultural boundaries, Samuel Steward's narrative invites understanding not only of the homosexual experience in twentieth century American culture, but also the lingering effects of eighteenth century treatments of sexuality. Spring chronicles Steward's unconventional trajectory: the journey from precocious university student to Parisian literati to unfulfilled academic, tattoo artist, and finally Steward's tragic end in a filthy Berkeley apartment, a space pregnant with poignant recollections of an ultimately hollow past. Through Spring's aforesaid elucidation, recurring themes are illustrated, the most pervasive being obsessive representation in the form of documentation, fastidious record keeping, a kind of sexual curiosity cabinet, and artistic output (Steward's oeuvre in both literature—the Andros novels—and body art).
Spring provides insight into the homosexual experience in twentieth century America, revisiting in various guises themes of reticence and declaration. Providing a theoretical framework for the subsequent discussion, Foucault writes:
"Silence itself--the things one declines to say, or is forbidden to name, the discretion that is required between different speakers--is less the absolute limit of discourse, the other side from which it is separated by a strict boundary, than an element that functions alongside the things said, with them and in relation to them within over-all strategies." (1)
Indeed, homosexuality was that which was "forbidden to name" in mid-century America. While Steward resisted hegemonic normativity through artistic production and collection, others utilized silence to oppose a tradition of discriminatory discourse. Through a comparison to American composer John Cage's reticence, Steward's obsessive record keeping, "curiosity cabinet," novels, and tattoos can be understood as the violent vocalizations complementing Cage's silent resistance.
The life and output of American composer John Cage are both mired in complexity: drawing on cross-cultural, cross-disciplinary inspirations, Cage's oeuvre is inextricably linked to his personal life (2). Thus through a brief overview of his works, one can better understand the means by which Cage resisted the construction of homosexual deviancy in mid-century America and throughout history.
The most pertinent form of "silent resistance" can be understood through noticing Cage's relationship to the concept and implications of authorship. The aleatoric practices with which Cage began to experiment in the late 1930s (3) signal the composer's separation from the western art music tradition and the culture therein—decidedly elitist, masculine. Rather than assert his authorship, thus assuming the role of male genius with all its history and implications, Cage opts for a "third way." Authorship is neither valorized nor vilified, but rather, it is merely vacant thus offering a new space for artistic production and analysis.
Steward's authorship, like Cage's, similarly creates a novel forum for interpretation. However, where Cage creates this space through aleatory (a form of authorial silence), Steward vigorously asserts his authorship through veiled identities (Phil Andros, Phillip Sparrow, for example) and secret histories. Although Steward participates in a culture obsessed with authorship and "naming," he does so from the safety of his secrets. By positioning himself in a space of truth-keeping, Steward fulfills one facet of a Foucauldian force relation: knowing that which is true (Steward's identity apart from his pseudonyms and social subterfuges) imbues him with power.
Additionally, Steward's records, documents, and "curiosity cabinet" speaks to his need to validate his experiences within the framework of the Western scientific tradition while maintaining participation in a discourse around authorship. For Steward, the documentation of his sexual activities returned them to cultural norms in that they became part of the accepted discourse on sexuality—that of containment, order, and scientific rationality.
Though less conventional, Steward's experience as a tattoo artist operates within the same documentation compulsion. However, rather than producing a scientific document, Steward imprints a part of himself upon another. The tattoo thus functions not only as a document but also a representation of the artist. Following the tradition of art as the offspring of its creator, Steward's tattoos take on a new complexity. If one considers the tattoo as an extension of Steward, then he has created a mobile, plural, identity for himself further complicated by tropes of genius, pleasure, pain, bodily mutilation and control.
The tattoo as part of Steward's artistic output, read through familiar notions of genius, also suggests a "queer" interpretation of hetero-normative social practices. Often, the impulse to procreate, aside from simple biology, is mired in cultural and social expectations: to create offspring is to ensure the continuation of familial tradition: a kind of immortality. Because of Steward's homosexual identity and historical context, this type of immortality was unavailable to him thus he sought—consciously or not—alternative methods, the tattoo for example. More than merely visual, the tattoo as an artistic expression and subsequent experience is loaded with a multiplicity of socio-cultural meanings and implications. Finally, in contrast with Cage's authorial and literal silence (the composer's aleatoric oeuvre and 4'33", respectively), Steward's tattoos are declarations: mobile artworks visible to the public eye, created through a process inextricably bound to both pain and power.

Wednesday 19 February, 5.30pm, Parkside Lecture Theatre
Professor Johnny Golding: 'Ecce Homo Sexual: Eros and Ontology in the Age of Incompleteness & Entanglement'
Nietzsche's iconic Ecce Homo: (How one becomes what one is) maps out the answer by taking the reader on a rumination between paradox, irony and event. With chapter headings such as 'Why I am so Wise' or 'Why I Write such Good Books' or 'Why I am Destiny', one begins to breathe in the method, the madness, the sheer intelligence of it all. Whatever else may be being said in that text and others, one thing is certain: a sustained, critical, well-directed attack on metaphysics – as idealism, dialectical logic, universalism, identity politics, morality and a whole host of other paradigmatic strictures – is necessarily, urgently, launched.
Scroll forward more than 100 years since Nietzsche's publication, and, coupled with the profound advances in socio-cultural norms from civil rights to feminism to gender inventions and stylistics of existence, as well as profound advances in physics, from the quanta, entanglement to Higgs Boson; in mathematics, from recursive algorithmic geometries to fractal imaginaries; in technology and new media from the computer to robotics, artificial intelligence and augmented reality – it almost beggars belief that at least in the aesthetic-politico-philosophic arena, one finds a steady crawl, and most recently, an electrified sprint, back to metaphysics, identity politics, speculative object-oriented philosophy and a thinly disguised incorporation of onto-theological predispositions that would make even Heidegger weep in disbelief.
This Professorial Inaugural lecture sets out to examine the problems of this (re-)turn to Hegelian metaphysics in light of Nietzsche's Ecce Homo – coupled with the erotic, the sensual, and indeed, the networked algorithmic 'age' – in order to propose a rather different move. May have to dust off copies of Marx's Poverty of Philosophy and Benjamin's Arcades along the way.
Drinks and canapés will be served following the lecture.
Booking is essential. To attend please contact Yanyan Wang by email.

This is accomplished when the orderly depolarization process described in the previous chapter triggers a wave of contraction that spreads through the myocardium. In single muscle fibers, contraction starts just after depolarization and lasts until about 50 ms after repolarization is completed (see Figure 5–15). Atrial systole starts after the P wave of the electrocardiogram (ECG); ventricular systole starts near the end of the R wave and ends just after the T wave. In this chapter, we will consider how these changes in contraction produce sequential changes in pressures and flows in the heart chambers and blood vessels, and thereby propel blood appropriately as needed by whole body demands for oxygen and nutrients. As an aside, it should be noted that the term systolic pressure in the vascular system refers to the peak pressure reached during systole, not the mean pressure; similarly, the diastolic pressure refers to the lowest pressure during diastole. ++Table Graphic Jump LocationFavorite Table | Download (.pdf) | PrintClinical Box 30–1Heart FailureHeart failure occurs when the heart is unable to put out an amount of blood that is adequate for the needs of the tissues. It can be acute and associated with sudden death, or chronic. The failure may involve primarily the right ventricle (cor pulmonale), but much more commonly it involves the larger, thicker left ventricle or both ventricles. Heart failure may also be systolic or diastolic. In systolic failure, stroke volume is reduced because ventricular contraction is weak. This causes an increase in the end-systolic ventricular volume, so that the ejection fraction falls from 65% to as low as 20%. The initial response to failure is activation of the genes that cause cardiac myocytes to hypertrophy, and thickening of the ventricular wall (cardiac remodeling). The incomplete filling of the arterial system leads to increased discharge of the sympathetic nervous system and increased secretion of renin and aldosterone, so Na+ and water are retained. These responses are initially compensatory, but eventually the failure worsens and the ventricles dilate.In diastolic failure, the ejection fraction ...

Let's take a closer look at the NFL odds for this Week 1 matchup in the NFC South division at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome, with the opening kickoff scheduled for 1:00 p.m. ET on Sunday, Sept. 8.
So close
Atlanta came up just short to advancing to Super Bowl XLVII against the Baltimore Ravens, as it suffered a 28-24 setback to the San Francisco 49ers as 3.5-point home underdogs in the 2013 NFC Championship Game.
The Atlanta Falcons may have come up empty in the closing minutes of that affair after coming away with an emotional 30-28 victory over the Seattle Seahawks just a week before.
Time to move on
The New Orleans Saints finished the 2012 NFL regular season with a 7-9 straight up and against-the-spread (ATS) record, which didn't surprise many due to the tumultuous offseason it endured.
The Saints still managed to rank third in the league in averaging 28.8 points per game, but they allowed 440.1 yards per game on the defensive end—56.7 yards more than the New York Giants that finished 29th in that category.
Weapons galore
NFL handicappers are certainly aware of the amount of weapons that Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan has at his disposal, especially with the return of veteran tight end Tony Gonzalez and the addition of longtime St. Louis Rams running back Steven Jackson.
Atlanta is going to be a popular OVER choice in terms of the betting total during the 2013 campaign, considering finished behind just six teams in averaging 26.2 points per game a season ago.
Back in the fold
The Bountygate scandal basically crippled the Saints last year, with head coach Sean Payton being suspended for the entire year, while defensive coordinator Gregg Williams was virtually banished from a professional sideline.
Payton is reunited with star quarterback Drew Brees, while the defensive will get back to pressuring opposing quarterbacks with the arrival of coordinator Rob Ryan—formerly of the Dallas Cowboys.
I'm going to recommend that readers back the Saints as one of their early Week 1 NFL picks, as they've gone 16-5 ATS in their last 21 home games.
NFL Pick: New Orleans Saints -2

The Tap Room at the Lodge at Pebble Beach wins by a nose in a crowded field. Drenched in ambiance and lore from past U.S. Opens and Bing Crosby Pro-Ams, this legendary 19th hole is a monument to the good life and a day well spent. The limited seating at the small bar, dark wood paneling and zero view of the Pacific would be drawbacks anywhere else. For some reason, they work perfectly here.
Spanish Bay, Pebble Beach, Calif.
A gorgeous fireplace, ocean panoramas, great Scotch selection and a bagpiper at dusk make this a worthy sister act to Pebble Beach.
The Resort at Pelican Hill, Newport Coast, Calif.
If it's possible to feel underdressed at a 19th hole, it's here at this new, oh-so-posh resort near Newport Beach in southern California, where a bevy of attractive locals flock here at happy hour to gaze at the ocean and at each other.
Phil's Grill at Grayhawk Golf Club, Scottsdale, Ariz.
Mickelson memorabilia, goldfish bowl-size margaritas, a sofa in front of the flatscreen and an eye-catching ironwood bar are the highlights at this Scottsdale hotspot that has the feel of a men's grill at a private club.
Ocean Course Clubhouse at Kiawah Island Golf Resort, Kiawah Island, S.C.
Overlooking the battlefield for the "War by the Shore," (the Atlantic Ocean and 18th green of 1991 Ryder Cup fame), this three-year-old stunner concocts the best mojito in the business.
Fallen Oak Golf Club, Saucier, Miss.
Exclusive to guests of the Beau Rivage Resort & Casino on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, the Fallen Oak experience is a low-key treat. A sunken bar that peers out at the 18th hole, a lake and the signature tree serves up beers from the state's only microbrewery.
Dunvegan Hotel Lounge Bar, St. Andrews, Scotland
Not technically affiliated with the Old Course — but only 112 yards from the 18th green, this charmer offers just the post-round vibe you crave after dueling with the ancient links.
Half Moon Bay Golf Links, Half Moon Bay, Calif.
Whether you play the Ocean or the Old, you must cap your experience next door at the Ritz-Carlton Half Moon Bay, a clifftop retreat 25 miles south of San Francisco. Cocktails around the firepit as the sun sets over the Pacific will cure whatever's ailing you.
Whistling Straits, Kohler, Wisc.
Set in an Irish-style farmhouse, the upstairs bar is the perfect place to lift the spirits after the ego-battering walk around the Straits. A tankard or two of locally brewed Spotted Cow beer will enhance the day, no matter how you fared on the 18th.
Pinehurst Resort, Pinehurst, N.C.
Ryder Cup Lounge — Located right off the lobby of the resort's Carolina Hotel, this cozy nook is bedecked with momentos — plus a porch with rocking chairs right outside.

Pushing Daisies Season 1 is out on DVD today, which means I can finally clear the episodes I've been hoarding for almost a year on my Tivo. But it also reminds me of my growing concern – is ABC doing enough to push Pushing Daisies?
I could be wrong, but I don't think a single episode has aired in 2008. I know the strike jacked everything up, but ABC missed a prime opportunity to hook in new viewers (and remind old viewers of the show's existence) by running some repeats over the summer. In fact, they could have started airing episodes every Wednesday starting on July 30th and then run right into the October 1st premier.
And the Season 1 DVD comes out today, two weeks (and one day) before Season 2 starts. That doesn't give the Netflixers a lot of time to catch up if they wanted to see Season 1 before giving Season 2 a try. There's no reason they couldn't have pushed to get the DVDs out a little earlier to help build buzz for the series.
Even the promos I've seen have been weak. The few I've seen have been very ambiguous to the show's plot, it's just cutesy glamour shots and pull-quotes. Hell, they could have even thrown the Season 1 eps up for free on OnDemand or something.
(And by the way, everything I've said could be applied to Dirty Sexy Money as well, but while I love DSM, I'll survive if it doesn't, whereas a Daisies cancellation would truly gut me.)
Maybe I'm just nervous because I've had two other wonderful Bryan Fuller shows snatched away from me in their prime (Wonderfalls and Dead Like Me) so I'm a little gun shy, but man, I need Pushing Daisies to stick around. It's been a long time since I've been this attached to a show – since Veronica Mars, Alias, Angel, and Buffy went off the air. (I've loved other shows since, but not in a really insanely connected way.) When Season 1 was airing last fall, I was going through a stressful period with tough school demands and treacherous interpersonal relationships and shit, and instead of immediately watching Pushing Daisies as it aired, I'd save each episode for the inevitable day each week when everything had gone wrong and I felt like crap. Then, I'd watch Daisies, and it was like shooting up with a syringe full of sunshine and kittens, I swear to god. You can't help but smile watching the show. And now I'm in an even worse place trying to find my way in a post-grad world and being unable still to land permanent employment in this crappy media-killing recession, and I need that one-hour dose of happiness each week.
On the up side, I also have Fringe, which I'm already super attached to. But, of course I am, it's a J.J. show. I love J.J. Even Fringe has me nervous though. Fox has a habit of killing off shows I love (see: Firefly, Wonderfalls, Dark Angel, Reunion, Undeclared, Boston Public). But supposedly this is a new regime, and Joss Whedon is willing to give them a second chance with Dollhouse after they slaughtered Firefly, so I'm tentatively hopeful.
Still, ABC doesn't seem too trigger happy compared to other networks, so I hope they'll give the audience a chance to find (and re-find) Pushing Daisies. I just wish they were doing more to light the way.

Not Pushing "Daisies"
Pushing Daisies Season 1 is out on DVD today, which means I can finally clear the episodes I've been hoarding for almost a year on my Tivo. But it also reminds me of my growing concern – is ABC doing enough to push Pushing Daisies?
