Pitfalls encountered by dowsers and how to overcome them.
Pendulum Doesn't Move/10 Comments/in Blog, Dowsing Pitfalls, Learn Dowsing, Techniques, Tool Use, video /by Nigel Percy
When The Dowsing Pendulum Doesn't Move
This is a common problem for beginner dowsers. They have purchased a nice dowsing pendulum but then, when they ask a question and hold it, nothing happens! The pendulum doesn't move. Is the pendulum broken or are they doing something wrong or does dowsing simply not work? These are the typical sorts of things which go through their minds at such a time.
But, fear not for help is at hand.
The main problem is that new dowsers tend to think, consciously or not, that their brand new pendulum is much more magical than it really is. They tend to think that the real power of dowsing is in the tool, not in themselves. This leads them to think that, if they simply dangle the pendulum straight down from their fingers, it will move in some mystical fashion whenever they ask a question.
The truth, however, is that the real power of dowsing lies in the dowser, never the tool. It is the tool which reacts to the dowser's movements. By itself, it does nothing. Therefore, if you hold a pendulum motionless from your fingertips, it will take a long time to move because it needs a bigger 'push' from the dowser to get it moving.
It will also need a big 'push' if the pendulum is dangling from a long chain. The longer the chain is the more slowly it will react. Remember: a long chain means a long time to respond and a slow movement when it does. Think of a grandfather clock. The long pendulum doesn't whizz from side to side, but is slow and stately.
Therefore, a shorter chain will mean a faster response and a quicker movement.
But there is still one element missing to fully resolve the problem.
Why start with a pendulum which is motionless? It makes far more sense to have the pendulum moving to begin with. That way it will move much more quickly to indicate a response.
In order for this to work, you have to know which are your movements for 'yes' and 'no' so that you can have the pendulum swinging in a way which is neither of those. Let's call that the 'neutral' swing: neither one thing nor the other. Suppose your 'yes' was to and fro and your 'no' was side to side, then a circular motion would be a good 'neutral' swing. Adjust it to what makes sense for you.
One other thing about having a short chain and a moving pendulum to begin with is that this is far less tiring for your arm than having a long chain and waiting for any movement to happen.
So, what you need to do if your pendulum doesn't move is to shorten the chain length to maybe two inches or so, and have it moving as you ask your question.

Pendulum Healing?
Dowsing for healing, sometimes thought of as dowsing healing or pendulum healing, is really the result of confusion and mis-information. The two do not go together. At least, not in the way that many seem to think that they do.
As an example, you will sometimes find people asking about pendulum healing or which are the best healing pendulums. They sound reasonable things to be asking, but they are really showing that they have the wrong idea about dowsing.
Let's be very clear about this. Dowsing is a natural human skill. Essentially, it's a simple idea. You ask questions about things your logical and rational mind cannot answer. And that is pretty much it. You can use tools or not as you prefer, but there really is nothing more to dowsing than asking questions and getting answers.
As you can see, there's no room in that description for anything to do with healing or healing pendulums. So where did this confusion come from?
It probably came from the popular use of the pendulum as a dowsing tool. There's nothing special about a pendulum when used for dowsing. It can be as fancy or as plain as you like. As long as it works for you, that's fine. But, no matter what sort of pendulum you use, whether plain wood, or brass or a fancy crystal or a nut on a piece of dental floss, they all move in the same way; circles or side to side essentially.
Now, imagine the following scenario. There are two people. One is a dowser, and the other is someone who has an issue with her hand; pain perhaps in one of the fingers. The dowser is using a pendulum and it's swinging in some fashion over the persons's finger, presumably to locate the precise area of the problem. And, at the same time, the dowser is focusing on sending some healing energy to that finger.
Here's where it gets important. The dowser is not using the pendulum to send healing energy. The pendulum has absolutely nothing to do with any healing. She is using the pendulum to locate where the healing energy is to be sent. She might also have set her intention so that when she has done all she can, the pendulum will indicate that she should stop.
As an onlooker however, all you see is the pendulum swinging, some healing taking place and the pendulum stops when it's finished. It's easy enough to think that the pendulum has something to do with the healing. But it doesn't!
Therefore there are no healing pendulums. There are only people who send healing. You don't need a pendulum or other tool for that. All you need is your very focused intention to send healing energy as well as you can. Intention is the key, not dowsing.
Even so-called healing pendulums will do nothing unless you intend an outcome. Otherwise they would be the wonderful magic bullet that would work on everyone, everywhere all the time. It's intention which makes anything work.
So don't think you have to buy anything special. You don't. You just have to use your intention.
Happy dowsing!
Dowsing and Permission/11 Comments/in Blog, Dowsing Pitfalls, video /by Nigel Percy
Below is the transcript of the video, if you'd prefer to read:
Dowsing and Permission
This is another area of confusion and argument amongst dowsers. It can be split into two different areas: permission to dowse and permission about what to dowse about.
Let's look at the first one; asking permission to dowse.
This is something which has come into fashion since the late twentieth century. Before that, there is no record of this being done. The way this works is by asking three questions before beginning to dowse. These three are; 'Can I, May I and Should I?'
There are varying interpretations about the meanings, but they can be summed up roughly as follows:
'Can I?' apparently means, 'Is this something I am capable of dowsing about?'
'May I?' supposedly is 'Do I have permission to do this?'
'Should I?' is about whether it is is advisable or in the best interests of all involved.
The problem with these questions is that they are vague and pretty much useless. After all, you are using dowsing to determine whether or not you can dowse. And that's just to begin with.
The permission part of the second question is extremely vague. Some say that it is asking permission from the 'high self' of everyone involved. Others say it's about getting permission from the universe in some fashion.
The last question is again about permission. But, if so, who are you asking? If you use the word 'should', then it means you are making a value judgment. But based on what? And, if it is about the 'best interest', how is that possibly to be judged, and on what time scale?
In other words, these three questions, often taught to beginners, are pretty much useless because they are so vague and open to differing interpretations.
What, if anything, can replace them?
This is where the second meaning of permission comes in; permission about what to dowse about.
This is very much simpler to describe, because it relies on one thing which cannot be misinterpreted; being given permission to dowse.
If you are dowsing about another person, they must give you their explicit permission. If you are dowsing about an animal, then gain the permission of the owner. If there is no way to gain permission, then you have none and it is inappropriate to dowse.
It's remarkably simple. But it causes arguments. Why?
This book will help you come to grips with the problem of permission. Lots of examples to ponder over as well as some simple explanations to help you understand the problems involved.
Because people, being people, want to do things they shouldn't and they want to find ways to excuse themselves for interfering with other peoples' lives. So they will claim they have gained permission from the high self of the person, or they claim it is for the highest good that they are dowsing. But, if you ask them what does the 'highest good' actually mean and how are they going to judge that, you will find no sensible answers.
In other words, such dowsers will cloak their prejudices and desires by saying that they have obtained permission in some strange fashion, or that they are helping humanity.
That is being dishonest at worst and unthinking at best. Dowsing, however it might eventually be proven to work, probably engages the energies of both parties in some fashion. In other words, as a dowser, you are entering into and interfering with another person's energy field. Doing that without permission is like walking into someone's house and looking through their fridge, possibly even taking things out or replacing them, for their highest good, of course, without bothering to ask them.
Would you like that being done to you?
Dowsing done properly, with properly obtained permission, is a wonderful tool. Don't abuse that skill!
There is one area, however, where you do not need permission, ever, and that is when you are dowsing about yourself.
Most times, people will use dowsing to focus on 'what's out there' and try to deal with it out of prejudice or fear, or because they feel like a victim or they do it out of ego. But, if you focus your dowsing on yourself, to help yourself, not only does the problem of permission disappear, but you are then using dowsing as a powerful tool for self-development.
Happy Dowsing!

Dowsing and Intention/0 Comments/in Blog, Dowsing Pitfalls, video /by Nigel Percy
(Transcript below)
Why The Confusion Between Dowsing And Intention?
These are two different things which seem to make for a huge amount of confusion and misunderstanding, more than most any other aspects of dowsing.
Let's make things clear here between the two. Dowsing is a specific practice where the dowser gets into the properly receptive state of mind, asks a question, and then obtains the answer. The answer can come via a tool such as a pendulum, but a tool is not necessary. There are plenty of ways of receiving the answer without using any tool at all.
Intention is also something quite specific. If you 'intend' something, you have an objective, a plan, in mind. 'I intend to go shopping later today.' 'I intend to beat him at chess this time.' Those are obvious examples. 'I'm going to get fit and lose some weight this year', is also an intention, but rather a vague one, as there is no real time scale or definite targets set. But, nevertheless, there is an intention implied to actually do something.
To give you an example of this confusion, you might have come across someone, in a forum, on Facebook or elsewhere, saying that if you swing your pendulum one way it will clear energies, or do something else. The important part of it is where they say you have twirl your pendulum one way or another.
Well, that's not dowsing. It can appear as if it is dowsing, but it isn't. And here's why.
Firstly, just because someone happens to be holding a pendulum does not mean they are dowsing. A pendulum is any weighted object at the end of a material hanging from a fixed point which will allow it to move freely. That's what a pendulum is. A pendulum is not a dowsing pendulum automatically. A pendulum only becomes a dowsing pendulum when it is used to show a yes or no answer to a dowsing question. Therefore, if you are NOT asking a dowsing question and the pendulum is moving or twirling or whatever, there is no dowsing going on, there is simply the movement of the pendulum.
So, if someone is whirling a pendulum or other tool around and saying that by doing it in this direction, for example, they are removing energy, or replacing it, or doing something else, you now know that what you are witnessing is not dowsing. It is the use of intention instead. They are intending to change things. The pendulum is merely a handy way of focusing what they want to do and has, despite what you might hear, absolutely nothing to do with the process itself.
If you are ever confused by what someone has told you, or what they are demonstrating, just remember this: If they are wanting something to happen, or trying to make something happen, that is intention. If they are asking about something, that is dowsing.
Intention is doing something, dowsing is asking something. Keep those clear in your mind and you will find things suddenly become a lot clearer!
Happy Dowsing!

Dowsing For Healing/14 Comments/in Blog, Dowsing Pitfalls, Health /by Nigel Percy
A Case Of Confusion
Dowsing for healing can cause a great deal of confusion amongst both dowsers and non-dowsers. The reason for that is that people aren't clear about the difference between dowsing and intention. It's necessary to make that very clear.
So what IS dowsing for healing?
Dowsing for healing is a very specific thing. It is about using dowsing to gain information which will be of help in your healing.
Notice what I did there? I didn't make any mention at all about how you can heal someone using dowsing. And the reason for that is because you can't do it.
And I don't mean you are incapable of doing it. Not at all! You may be a wonderfully capable healer. But I can guarantee you that you can't heal anyone of anything using dowsing. You can't use dowsing for healing.
You can certainly use intention to heal, and that's what many people do. But where the confusion arises is that when they do that, a lot of them will be swinging a pendulum around and using it to indicate when the session (or whatever) is finished, ended, completed or whatever is appropriate.
But, and here's the important point, just because a pendulum is moving does not mean that any dowsing is going on.
Having said that, however, you can certainly use dowsing for healing, if, as I said earlier, you use it to gain information which will help you on your healing journey. Remember, dowsing is just about asking questions and getting answers. It's nothing more than that.
Once that is clear, then obviously you're not going to go around healing anybody or anything just by waving your pendulum over them and wishing it were so. The 'wishing it were so' is intention, and that is not healing.
So, if you have heard of someone using dowsing for healing, you are probably hearing about someone who is confused about what dowsing is for and what you can do with it.

Three Pendulum Problems/65 Comments/in Blog, Dowsing Pitfalls, Learn Dowsing, Tool Use /by Nigel Percy
Problems, Problems, Problems!
Three problems with pendulums.
The first problem with pendulums is that most beginner dowsers want them to move. By themselves.
The problem is, they won't.
You have to get use to the idea that you, the dowser, makes the pendulum move.
It's the nature of dowsing; the physics, if you like.
The other problems with pendulums
The other two problems come together, quite often. First, the chain or string or whatever is usually too long. Second, the beginner dowser quite often starts off by holding the pendulum quite still, hanging straight down.
Nope and nope.
The longer the chain, the slower the response. And the less the pendulum moves before you ask your question, the longer it will take to show you any response.
Get the pendulum to move to begin with and then let it change direction according to the answer. Don't just sit there looking at it. If nothing else, your arm will tire and you'll get strange looks from people.
So, in order to get a response which doesn't tire you out and which is obvious (and quick!), is to have the pendulum on a short chain and have it moving before you ask your question.
How short and moving in what direction is up to you to decide. But, as a rule of thumb (or should that be 'rule of pendulum'?), any chain longer than three inches is too long and any movement which is less than an inch in diameter (whichever the movement is), is too little.
The rest is up to you to discover.
After all, dowsing is for those who want to question and explore, isn't it? :-)
What's the biggest problem you've had with pendulums? Is it mentioned here or is it something else entirely? Let us know and maybe we can help you. Post the details in the comments section below
Finding What You Are Looking For/0 Comments/in Blog, Dowsing Pitfalls, Putting It All Together, Techniques /by Nigel Percy
Seek And You Shall Find!
There's one aspect of dowsing which is not quite like real life…. Well, not so much. In real life, you can go searching for something and find something else.
For example, you can go to the kitchen drawer to look for those toothpicks you were sure were there, and while rummaging around you discover that ghastly bottle-opener your neighbor brought back for you from their holiday. You thought it had gone for ever, and are slightly sad to see it again.
But, the point is, you discovered it by accident when you were looking for something else. It was right there. You couldn't miss it.
But, in dowsing, it's not quite the same.
If you go looking for a particular thing in dowsing, the chances are you will either find it or not.
Notice the difference. You'll find it. Or you won't find it.
There's no third way here. There's no, 'Oooh! Look what I stumbled across when I was searching for the cause of the pain in my leg, which I'm pretty sure is to do with diet.'
Because you were looking for one thing, the dietary cause of the pain in your legs, you weren't able to be open to any other answers. So, you never saw them, felt them, heard them or came across them in whatever you come across answers when you dowse.
What is it you are actually finding?
If you set out looking for one thing, you're pretty much guaranteed to find it… or not find it. That's because you don't allow room for any other answers to come in.
On the other hand, such an idea could be valuable, in the right circumstances. For example, let's suppose you are dowsing to find water. But what you really want is drinkable water flowing at a rate of at least 30 gallons a minute. You're so fixated on these numbers, that anything else is ignored. But, guess what? You find exactly 30 gallons a minute in the right place and everyone is happy.
Now, consider for a moment the reverse of what I started off by saying. I said that if you look for one thing, you'll find it (or not). What if it works like this: If you look hard enough for something, you find it, because (and here's the kicker), you created it.
Is that outlandish? Is that too strange to think about? Is it madness?
Or, is it, perhaps, a possibility?
Could you really find water like that?
Could you really find other things like that?
Are you really willing to say, for certain, that you can't? Or, are you willing to allow yourself to start thinking that you can find what you are looking for?
What do you think? Can you actually be finding at the same time as creating what you are looking for? Share your thoughts about this in the comments section below
The Problem With Using A Pendulum/3 Comments/in Blog, Dowsing Pitfalls, Tool Use /by Maggie Percy
The Popular Tool
In recent decades, using a pendulum for dowsing has surpassed water dowsing with a Y-rod or forked branch as the hottest trend in dowsing. But there is a problem. As popular as pendulum dowsing is, people aren't really dowsing that much.
I believe one reason is the tool itself. A pendulum is a cool tool. Pendulums come in all kinds of lovely materials and designs. You can get really attached to using a pendulum.
The problem with your attachment to your pendulum is you become convinced you can't dowse without it. You may even have special pendulums for certain dowsing tasks.
Unless you carry your pendulum with you (and the right one at that), you won't feel prepared to dowse all the time. But even if you start carrying your pendulum with you everywhere, you have a much bigger challenge to overcome.
Using a pendulum can hold you back
Pendulum dowsing isn't sweeping the country in part because of the pendulum itself. If you are a dowser, you probably have friends and family who do not believe in dowsing. Some may even be strongly opposed to it. Others maybe just mock you every time they see you using a pendulum. Maybe your spouse won't consider any suggestions you make if they come from pendulum dowsing.
Every time you start using a pendulum in front of anyone, either in public or in private with doubting family, you are put under stress. You may be mocked or rejected for your belief in dowsing. So, because you don't like conflict, and because you can't really explain your belief in dowsing or persuade others to accept it, you find it easier not to get your pendulum out. So you dowse less often than you would like.
There is a solution! Quit using a pendulum. It's just a tool. Dowsing without a tool is just as effective and has the benefit of not being visible in many cases. There are more ways to dowse devicelessly than you can imagine. And it's easy. Just try them and find one that works for you.
You can use your eyelids to blink dowse or rub your finger and thumb together to get answers. When you dowse using a deviceless method, your dowsing becomes invisible. You can get immediate answers to questions without pulling out a tool that causes people to sigh or roll their eyes. Find out what method of deviceless dowsing works best for you.

Polarization and Dowsing/0 Comments/in Blog, Dowsing Pitfalls /by Nigel Percy
Seeing Things In New Ways
Polarization! Wonderful, isn't it?
Do you now own or have you ever owned a pair of Polaroid sunglasses? I suspect that most of you have.
I can remember my first pair. I was so intrigued that I could turn them 90 degrees and see the sky change color or reflections disappear from windows. Polarization was a truly wonderful thing to behold!
The best part of it though, was water. I could be dazzled by the sun reflecting on water, but, with my trusty sunglasses, I could banish the glare. The world was seen in a new way. I could see what was otherwise hiding in that tidal pool, or see the sky darken behind a yacht and make it stand out in a way I could not do just with my unaided eyes.
Dowsing is polarization for your mind
Dowsing is like wearing polaroids. Suddenly, you're able to see things you never knew were there before, or objects will appear in a new light.
You get to understand things better and it opens your brain up to new ideas. These ideas you would never have had without using dowsing.
If polarization can change your view of the world, then dowsing can turn your mind around as well.
It's all there in front of you right now. But dowsing rearranges the way you see it.
You ought to try it! Polarization is such fun
Have you got an example of this polarization effect of dowsing? If so, why not share it in the comments section below?

I would like to know what are the best practices for apigee proxy versioning.
Currently we have a proxy which has version in the URI itself like /v1/api. Now we have a requirement to create a version 2 of the same proxy as /v2/api.I would like to know if v2 should be created as a separate proxy with base path /v2/api or should it created as different revision of the same proxy? Since we are using version in the base path hence both the revisions (with v1 and v2) can be deployed in the same environment as there will be no base path conflict.
Kindly let me know what is the Apigee recommended best practices to maintain version and code.
Answer by Binaya Kumar lenka · Jul 08, 2016 at 01:43 PM
Versioning of API vary from organisation to organisation.
But better approach is to maintain at least one version back to give developer atleast one cycle to react before obsoleting version..
You can keep the old version maximum 8-10 months.
/v2/{requestPath} -->is the proper version way.
Yes that should not be issue deploying different version as your base path is different
Thanks @Binaya Kumar lenka . Just another query, whether to have the second version as a separate proxy or as a separate revision? Kindly suggest.
Answer by Binaya Kumar lenka · Jul 08, 2016 at 02:07 PM
I prefer to have the separate version than a separate proxy.
Because separate proxy should have the totally different functionality.
it is better to have separate version in your case.
@Binaya Kumar lenka Thanks for the suggestion.
How do you keep multiple versions (/v1/ and /v2/) deployed to one production environment without creating new proxies?
@Khashayar Parhami you can keep two revision deployed on same API Proxy as shown below with two different version like /v1 and /v2 deployment.png

What's New: Introducing the Nintex Product Roadmap
"The only thing we know about the future is that it will be different" – Peter F. Drucker
While these words from the oft-quoted business guru apply to a wide range of situations, the fact that "change is a constant" rings especially true for anyone who works in or with technology. With the pervasiveness of cloud services, the frequency and pace of change to the apps and tools we depend on every day to run our businesses have only increased. There's really no sign that things are about to slow down either.
I think that is one of the most exciting aspects of being in the software and cloud services space. The ability to be highly responsive to customer requirements and changing market dynamics has completely shifted how we design, develop, deliver, and support the solutions Nintex offers. From the conversations I've had with many of you over the past year, I can safely say that just about all of you share similar exuberance for what this means for your own businesses. You've also been very frank with your feedback that it's never been more important for us to provide greater transparency and visibility into our upcoming releases.
The good news? We heard you loud and clear!
It's my great pleasure to share with you that we have officially launched our new Nintex Product Roadmap. Starting today, you can access our new public roadmap site by visiting roadmap.nintex.com to gain new insight into what's coming to the Nintex platform in the near term.
Our primary goal for the Nintex Product Roadmap is to keep you informed of the continuous innovation we're delivering across the entire Nintex platform, on-premises and in our cloud offerings (like Nintex for Office 365, Nintex Workflow Cloud, and Nintex Hawkeye).
The roadmap site makes it easy for you to navigate, filter, and search to keep current as we develop new features and enhancements to existing capabilities. The site is publicly available, right in the place you already spend a lot of time: the Nintex Connect community.
Our new public roadmap also allows you to share direct links to the roadmap items most interesting to you (or your customers and colleagues). You can keep current on the progress of these features as they go from "In Development" to "Generally Available" and ready for you to use in your quest to automate, analyze, and optimize all of your critical business processes with the Nintex platform.
Together with our recently launched Nintex Product Feedback Site in UserVoice, the Nintex Product Roadmap adds another trusted, single source of the truth for all things related to your operations, usage and support of the Nintex platform. We'll update the roadmap on a regular basis to reflect our ongoing product development and release cadence.
Go ahead and check out the new roadmap today, and let us know what you think!

After becoming disillusioned with PES2008 over recent weeks, I have returned to PES5.
In my opinion PES5 was and is the best-ever PES game. As with any game (or anything at all) it is not perfect. Other opinions are equally valid. This is a blog, after all – i.e., just a new-fangled version of a scribbled diary. These are not tablets engraved in stone.
The last time I played this game seriously was one night in October 2006. PES6 was released the next day (whenever that was). Naturally, despite still being perfectly satisfied with PES5, I bought PES6 like the obediently robotic consumer that I was, and played it for most of the next year. 'Twas ever thus, eh?
After starting up the game, first on the agenda was re-familiarising myself with pressing Triangle to cancel in the menus. Next-gen developers have universally ditched the previously familiar Triangle-to-cancel in favour of Circle-to-cancel. Now I'm used to pressing Circle, and keep forgetting that I'm playing a PS2 game.
First up: an Exhibition game, England vs. Scotland.
Why Scotland? Nostalgia, mainly. When I was growing up, the annual England-Scotland fixture was one of the biggest games – and occasions – of the season. For various reasons, we're unlikely to see the fixture resurrected for anything more than a token showpiece friendly at some point. Thank God for computer games.
I chose to play on the game's default three-star difficulty. That's another thing that feels weird about PES5. Difficulty stars. Of course, when I accumulate enough PES points I can purchase the 6-star difficulty in the PES Shop. This is another reason why it makes sense to play a load of games in other modes before starting a new Master League. I also have to unlock the alternate balls. The default one is just too wishy-washy. I want to use the famous PES5 half-black/half-white ball – or its yellow counterpart. I used to like both of them equally.
I rearranged the default England formation into my beloved 4-3-3. I played Gerrard as the DMF and Joe Cole as a right-sided striker. Both players are generally superb in both positions, with Gerrard having lots of opportunities to use his viciously effective Middle Shooting, and Joe Cole is a speedy, skilful, dangerous presence out wide.
First impressions of PES5 this time around?
Wow, I really didn't remember it as being so fast.
It's faster than PES2008. If PES2008 is 100mph, PES5 is 150mph. The ball pings around between players racing at ludicrous speeds all over the pitch.
I'm genuinely taken aback by this. Was PES5 really this fast back in 2005? Or is the extra processing power of the PS3 somehow speeding up the gameplay? Or – and I think this is the answer – has next-gen FIFA08 and the (it turns out) slower-paced next-gen PES2008 affected my perceptions?
I was under the impression that PES5 was a stately-paced, ultra-simulation. It's not. Dare I say it, but it feels… arcadey. There, I've said it.
The graphics don't look too bad, upscaled of course on my PS3.
There is one thing that PES5 has got that none of the next-gen football games has got (and how we feel the lack of it). Camera panning – oh, how I have missed you. The next-gen games' cameras slide up and down the sideline, making your view of the goalmouth unnaturally narrow. It just doesn't feel right after so many years of playing and viewing from a point anchored up near the halfway line. FIFA09 and PES2009 had better have full camera panning. If not, I'll be disgruntled.
Just for the sake of it, I played this game with the full pan – setting 9 in the Camera options menu. (Usually I'm a 6 or 7 man.)
Passing in PES5 is ultra-fast. Tap X and aim for a player who's fifty or so 'yards' away, and the ball positively zooms over the virtual turf. It takes some getting used to. Dare I say it (again) but I prefer the passing in PES2008.
Dribbling: I tried to dribble automatically, effortlessly taking on and beating defenders for fun – just like I have been doing in PES2008. No. It doesn't work. The ball is lost almost straightaway, even on the default difficulty. I said that I was never a dribbler before PES2008. I wasn't lying.
Just after halftime, I got my first goal. Rooney broke from the left wing and blasted one in:
A typical PES5 goal. It felt very satisfying.
Scotland scored their goal late in the second half. Extra time passed without much happening. Before the match, I had chosen not to have a penalty shootout. I didn't need to have one to see what they were like in PES5 (i.e. the same as they have always been in every PES).
1-1 the final score, then, and a fair result.
Frankly, I was shocked by just how fast and – yes, I have to say it again – arcadey PES5 now seems. This (rather negative) impression was enhanced by the way I kept stupidly losing the ball due to forgetting about PES5's R1 knock-on effect. It's going to take time to settle back into the ebb and flow of PES5's unique gameplay.
I'll be scrupulously honest here (as ever – honest!) and admit that there's a small voice at the back of my mind whispering about giving up on PES2008 too soon.
You could have dumped Elcherino and played on with severe House Rules, the voice says. And there's a slightly louder voice asking me why I'm not playing FIFA08. You seem to be one of those PES fans with the right genetic makeup to think next-gen FIFA08 is a pretty damn good game, it says. So why are you messing around here on an upscaled PS2 game that feels as if it's running at ten times the speed?
I'm ignoring the voices for now. I'm determined to give PES5 a really good go.

The couple said they're not going to take it easy, though.
"We're going to stop on the way home and buy tickets... in Hammond," Thomas said.
The big drawing will happen Wednesday at 9:59 p.m. ET. Watch News 2 at 10 for the latest developments.

BEVERLY, Mass. – During the entire 2018-19 academic year, the Endicott Athletics & Recreation Department will celebrate 25 years of men's and women's athletics at the NCAA Division III level. This landmark achievement will be commemorated throughout the year via special events, alumni spotlights, giveaways, and much more. For our fourth installment of our alumni feature, www.ecgulls.com reconnected with former basketball, field hockey, and softball student-athlete Heidi Stevens Fazzina '00 and former baseball student-athlete David Fazzina '98. Here's what Heidi and David said about their time at The Nest.
ECGULLS: Describe your overall experience as a student-athlete. What does it mean to you now/what did it mean to you while you were a student-athlete?
HEIDI: My overall experience as a student-athlete at Endicott certainly shaped my life. While at Endicott I was lucky enough to continue playing sports through college. Playing at the collegiate level taught me about sacrifice, dedication, and discipline. There were many days of juggling papers and exams, along with practices and games. Somehow I was able to manage with the help of my professors and coaches. By year two, the juggling was just the norm for me. I truly believe the rigorous schedule and responsibilities I carried then are contributing factors to success I have found in life today. I am able to look back and appreciate the insanity of it all, and without a doubt would do it all again.
ECGULLS: Being a three-sport student-athlete is certainly rare these days. Talk a little more in-depth about that experience when you were a student-athlete. Also, how did those experiences shape you and help you beyond graduation?
HEIDI: Being a three-sport athlete is certainly a rarity today. There are far more opportunities in sports today, lengthening the season or supplementing with individualized lessons. As for me, I say play everything. I've never really believed in specializing in one sport. During my time at Endicott, I had the privilege to do just this. I wanted to play and make a difference for each program. It definitely took a tole at times as I extended my nights to complete academics or sacrificing a social life to attend practices and games. However, it was through sports where I met some of the greatest people in my life. I was blessed to be surrounded by competitive athletes and coaches through each season.
Through these experiences, my life has been impacted greatly. I'm a middle school teacher and youth sports coach. Time management skills, responsibility, and dedication are qualities that I am able to promote and pass on to my students, players, and most important my own children. As a parent of two kids who are currently three-sport athletes, we live a busy and at times chaotic life. However, as parents, we feel sports can be a teaching tool. Our kids are learning how to manage their time between school and sports, demonstrate good sportsmanship, and show resiliency. I thank my journey through sports for teaching me.
ECGULLS: Last part on being a three-sport athlete, did you favor one of the sports over the other?
HEIDI: I do get asked what is my favorite sport often. Basketball would have to be the one I favor the most. I love the pace at which you must make decisions, the adrenaline rush of each possession, and the team camaraderie.
ECGULLS: Your graduating class, in all three sports, played a major role in the success of our department where we currently stand now. What does that mean to you?
HEIDI: As an Endicott alum, I can say without a doubt that I am proud when I look back. During my four years, Endicott began building a competitive reputation in sports. Softball had captured two back-to-back conference championships, teams were playing at a high caliber and then we joined the CCC. It was through this building process and making a name for EC, that the school began attracting more athletes. For me, seeing the success in athletics today reinforces the work my teammates and I put in.
ECGULLS: You were a part of the first-ever GNAC Championship team in softball program history. What does that mean to you?
HEIDI: I take great pride in being part of the first-ever GNAC Championship team in softball program history. Proving champions again the year after was icing on the cake. As a softball player, you were part of a community, a family of athletes who played for each other and our coach. Coach Veilleux had a knack for motivating players and getting the very best out of them.
ECGULLS: What was your favorite memory of being a student-athlete at Endicott?
HEIDI: My favorite memory of being a student-athlete is difficult to nail down. I enjoyed our yearly spring break training trips down south for softball, the sleepover at Birchmont courtesy of Dr. Wylie for our basketball team, and rides on the "Sweet Pickles" bus. However, my top memory would have to be scoring my 1,000th point in my junior year of basketball. It is definitely an accolade I appreciate and am honored to be a part of. I look back and am very appreciative of my teammates and coaches who pushed and encouraged me throughout my career.
ECGULLS: What do you miss most about your Endicott experience?
HEIDI: When I look back what I miss most about my EC experience it is the tight-knit community. My first three years our facilities were small, nothing spectacular. The field hockey field, gymnasium, and softball field were all within a stone's throw of each other. I miss the backdrop of Tupper Manor as we played field hockey on the thick green grass, as well as the anticipation of cars becoming targets of foul balls as they passed the softball field off Hale Street. And of course, I can't forget our small quaint gymnasium, which echoed with every dribble and cheering fan. It was in those first years that we made memories and a name for our programs.
ECGULLS: What are you doing now professionally? How did your overall experience at Endicott get you to where you are today?
HEIDI: I am a middle school teacher, mother of two, and youth sports coach. My experience at Endicott solidified my desire to teach after completing an internship during my first year. Teaching middle school has its daily ups and downs. It is during the adolescent years that they are figuring out who they are as people. Through my overall experience at EC, I learned to be flexible, yet provide structure and boundaries for my students and my own children.
ECGULLS: Give us your thoughts on Endicott's continued success both athletically and as a college as a whole.
HEIDI: As I follow Endicott through social media, I am truly proud to be an alum. Dr. Wylie had a vision for the school and it has far surpassed what I thought it could be. The campus itself has made tremendous gains in regards to the facilities. This growth contributes to attracting and attaining top-notch student-athletes. In the meantime, as alums, we can continue to live vicariously through the current student-athletes as we see and hear their success stories.
ECGULLS: How did you and your husband, David, meet?
HEIDI: Endicott not only provided with me with the best education and athletic experience, but it also introduced me to the love of my life as cliche as it may sound. Dave and I met through a mutual friend and instantly had a connection, which of course was sports. It wasn't long before I convinced this guy from Connecticut to follow me back to the southern Maine coast. Life couldn't be better after 17 years of marriage, two beautiful kids, and naturally a year-round ridiculous sports schedule.
Heidi Stevens Fazzina, an Endicott Hall of Famer, was a three-sport athlete known for her leadership and competitive spirit. A two-time captain in basketball, she set the single-season scoring record with 450 points in 1998-99 and finished second on the all-time scoring list with 1,429 points at the end of her career. As an excellent playmaker, Fazzina also set the career assist record with 472. She was selected to the All-GNAC First Team twice. She was a four-year starter at third base in softball and captain as a senior. A two-time All GNAC selection, she amassed a .342 career batting average. In field hockey, she was selected captain as a sophomore and maintained the title for three years. She led the team in points her senior year with 26 and established the record for goals in a game with six against Regis in 1999.
Meanwhile, David Fazzina played a pivotal role in the beginning years of the Endicott baseball program. Fazzina was a key member of the program that made three GNAC Championship appearances and captured the first-ever conference title in 1997. During that year, the Gulls went 17-12 overall and 6-0 in conference play on their way towards winning the GNAC title.

A MAN involved in a five-hour rooftop standoff with police has been accused of burgling three homes.
Liam Warrener, 23, appeared at Portsmouth Magistrates' Court after the incident in Murefield Road near Asda on Monday.
In court it was revealed he is charged with three burglaries on June 27, July 10 and July 20 this year.
They are at Esplanade Gardens in Eastney, where military identity papers were allegedly taken, Friars Pond Road in Fareham and Kirby Road in Copnor.
Warrener was arrested at the end of the standoff with police and quizzed before he was charged and appeared in court yesterday morning.
Warrener, of St James's Road, Southsea, admitted attempted theft of an iPod on September 13, possession of a knife during the standoff, criminal damage by breaking and throwing roof tiles on the Portsmouth City Council-owned block, and criminal damage to a windscreen on February 17.
He is also admitted handling stolen goods on June 25.
District judge Anne Arnold remanded him in custody to appear at Portsmouth Crown Court on November 9.
Warrener at first wept as the judge remanded him in custody before several dock officers joined the three in the dock with him as he appeared to refuse to go down to the cells.
Onlookers had watched from the Asda car park as Warrener paced the flat roof of the building he was on between 8.40am and 1.30pm on Monday before he sprinted along the pitched roof.
Prosecutor Andrew Newman said in court how Warrener initially tried to hide his face and mouth when police arrived to the incident.
Negotiators coaxed him down after five hours, with firefighters and Hampshire Fire and Rescue Service's aerial ladder platform at the scene.
A cordon stopped shoppers from using a large section of the supermarket car park, near to the petrol station.
The value of damage to the roof was not yet known, it was said in court.

A bona fide ITV classic, the Sweeney tv series, focuses on the infamous Flying Squad, the London-based elite unit tasked with combating armed robbery and violent crime. The show was created by Ian Kennedy Martin, a man with form of police drama and a penchant for gritty realism. The formula he pioneered explored the relationship between the day-to-day work of the Squad and the booze'n'fags-fueled personal lives of its two leads, a pre-Morse John Thaw and his sergeant, an impossibly youthful Dennis Waterman.
"Dreaming Spires? Not round 'ere, mate." Regan and Carter, still doing it the hard way.
First aired in 1975, the show remained in production for four series. Its popularity gave rise to countless parodies and homages as well as two spin-off movies, 'Sweeney!' and 'Sweeney 2'. Over the intervening decades, it has remained popular both with UK viewers and fans of UK TV abroad.
For some pundits, 'The Sweeney' set the agenda for modern British police drama through its depiction of a fallible, all-too-human thin blue line in episodes which introduced primetime viewers to unfamiliar themes of police brutality and rough justice. For others, the show's potent brew of flapping lapels, dodgy hairstyles and period cars is a kind of time capsule, capable of conjuring the vanished world of the 70s as effectively as any Proustian madeleine. Certainly, contemporary audiences are often astonished — and sometimes thrilled — by the show's depiction of a grimy, down-at-heel London still showing the scars of WWII.
Animal Vitality in The Sweeney
'The Sweeney' has been called both brutal and darkly humorous. The range of both the cast and writers was always evident, with the best episodes displaying an almost Shakespearean facility in their swift changes of dramatic register. Recurring characters helped to flesh out a world of petty crooks, pathetic informers and malevolent gang bosses. Thaw easily dominated this strong cast, his Inspector Jack Regan displaying a combination of quick intelligence and animal vitality which may come as a shock to fans of the cerebral and unworldly Morse.
All four series of The Sweeney episodes has been syndicated on several different UK channels, all of which are available via TVMucho.

text: Durham: The Best PlaceFor Millennials on the "Move" May 25, 2018 Allen Aldrige Millennials put a high value on travel, according to a study by Airbnb and marketing research firm Gfk. In fact, they often rank travel higher on their priority list than paying off debt. Travel is one thing, but as far as moving, this generation is doing less of that, according to a Pew research report. The finding is that only 20 percent of Millennials (between the ages of 25-35) have moved in the past year, putting mobility at a 50-year low. Of course, the main reason for moving at all, according to the study, was job opportunities. If Millennials do move, the #1 destination, according to Forbes, is Durham, North Carolina. This city offers three times the amount of jobs and a six percent lower cost of living compared to national averages. The criteria: a happy medium — cities that offer great job opps and lower living costs — for Millennials considering settling down. Growella, a money management website for Millennials, also chose Durham as the best place for young people to live. The study considered the number of entry-level jobs, commute times, public transportation, entertainment, the population of young people, and — possibly most importantly — how far a paycheck stretches. Data was sourced from such public databases as the U.S. Census Bureau and the U.S. Department of Revenue. "We over-weighted cities that let you keep a large percentage of your paycheck; and, gave extra consideration to cities that make it easy to get around. We omitted subjective factors completely," Growella wrote. "You'll find no mention of the trendiness of a town, or its hipness. Grades are assigned based on statistics and our algorithm only." Durham is part of North Carolina's Research Triangle, which includes the cities of Raleigh and Chapel Hill. It was originally designed in 1959 to attract young people seeking science and engineering jobs with its affordable housing and pleasant year-round climate. In the 21st century, the Triangle — with its young energy — is more successful and popular than ever. The talent remains, and has expanded beyond science and engineering . According to the 2017 US News & World Report, Duke University ranks as the 8th best university in America — outranking some Ivy League institutions — and UNC Chapel Hill is the 5th best public university in the country. In addition to numerous startups and entrepreneurial endeavors, Raleigh Durham is home to large companies such as IBM, Duke Energy, Rex Healthcare, GlaxoSmithKline, Cisco Systems and Fidelity Investments. KBS investments in the Raleigh Durham area include: Park Central Apartments: a Class A apartment tower in North Hills, encompassing 286 residential apartment units and 36,000 square feet of ground floor retail space. Amenities include a saltwater pool, three residents-only courtyards, a clubroom overlooking Midtown Park, a fitness center, sauna, a lounge with an indoor/outdoor bar, a pet grooming salon, outdoor TV lounge, work-from-home cubicles, a conference area and a billiards room.

Genre: Disabilities > Counseling > Nonfiction > Parenting > Family & Relationships
Authors of the new book Falling Through the Ceiling: Our ADHD Family Memoir decided to do something when expensive, dangerous behaviors repeated in their home, Audrey and Larry Jones sought help from teachers and therapists regarding their children. During his adolescence, each child was diagnosed with ADHD, just as a hyperactive disorder was becoming a recognized clinical condition. For at least 20 years of his career as a pediatrician, Larry did not link his children's symptoms and signs of ADHD to himself.
Married over 46 years, Audrey and Larry are parents, grandparents, and fun-loving mates who enjoy each other's company, civic, volunteer and cultural activities and frequent traveling. They had a whirlwind spring romance in 1970 as college students, married in late summer of 1972, and in four years had three sons, one right after the other.
In 2008, Audrey was stricken with an illness, which took its toll on her health and led to a permanent disability. Her gift of recovery included an opportunity for Larry and Audrey to seriously reflect on their sons' actions, starts and misfires as young adults pursuing college educations and meaningful employment as they all lived with the challenges of ADHD. Rather than just writing about the road to recovery, Audrey and Larry chose to tell their whole story, with the intent of helping other families acknowledge and address behaviors that can adversely affect couples and families.
"Our stories are examples of the things that can happen when ADHD runs rampant and untreated for parent and three sons. That is what defines the universality of our stories. We fell into the same trap as many other parents, thinking that Drew, Jay, and Rob were just lazy and willfully not completing assignments in school. Parenting is probably the most humbling experience of your life. Few of us are trained in parenting and we encounter events in our children's lives, which should lead us to professional counselors and therapists. Our darling children can throw us off kilter because they really do the darndest things," Audrey said.

Catamarans are the way to go. Catamarans are steady and they have way more room than monohulls. Each of the boys can have their own cabin and they'll be one for guests and one for us. They can have a galley up by the cockpit and not down with the bilge. They kind of remind me of a condo on the water. Which is great but also makes me feel a bit guilty that I really don't want the true sailing vessel – the monohull.
Fast forward a year…
We've bought a monohull! Yeah! I think!
Both Brian and I were set on a catamaran. We filled our inboxes with news of the latest and greatest catamarans for sale. We checked out different makes and models and picked our favourites. We did not agree on this. But we agreed on a catamaran in general. But when it came to looking for a catamaran in our budget range….crickets…. Sure there were a number of catamarans which met our budget but they needed a lot of work. Brian was working in Alabama back in July and he made a trip to go see a catamaran in Florida. It was the right price, needed some work and once fixed up would be beautiful. She had the right bones as they say. He came away from that visit and sent me an email. "We can buy this catamaran and put about $40,000 into it and go over our budget and spend months fixing her up, or we can buy this…"
This, was a 1987 50′ Gulfstar sloop. A monohull. She was beautiful, had enough cabins for all of us, would need little to no work to get off the dock, and was currently being sailed by a family of 5. Not to mention the price was way lower than the catamaran and actually below our budget. I had been looking at the odd sailboat here and there but hadn't seen many I could imagine living on. This one I could. It was bright and airy and had a large cockpit which was super important on my list of criteria. She was currently located in Aruba so we called up the owner. It was a reality check when he said "I'm just on the beach, hold on a sec while I get out of the sun." LOL. We chatted about details and there would be a few more conversations. Then we got an email asking any interested parties to meet them in Cancun to view the boat. We were concerned about bidding wars and such so when the boat neared Panama we threw it out there and asked if they would consider meeting us in Panama so we could see the boat.
To back up a little, we have friends in Panama. One of our friends lives in Panama City and the other friend is a fellow sailor who had sailed for years with his wife and was usually moored in the San Blas Islands in the Caribbean Sea. So Panama was on our radar and it made it easier to take the risk of flying down to see the boat. We set up a survey before we, or rather, I, left for Panama at the end of October. Brian was working and wouldn't be able to join me until a few days later. I arrived at the marina for the survey which all went well. I loved the boat and Brian was reassured about the mechanical aspects and so thus began a week of finalizing details, transferring money and getting our first taste of Caribbean Cruiser life.
We flew home. Brian was home for two days and then headed back to work. He's been there ever since. We've been working on boat insurance, medical insurance, rental insurance, boat registration, and 107 other things to be exact. We are down to the wire at 16 days and counting, before we leave to head back to Panama and our boat. We have 42 items left on the list. Brian won't be back for another week and I am losing my mind…but that's another post.

I make it a point to stay at Ritz properties anytime I'm near a location. I love all of them that I've stayed. The Downtown Ritz in Atlanta Ga is the best 5 star service I ever received. Everyone from the maids to the front end. Crazy how special. I send special thanks to all the doormen and bellhops. 1 st class service. Manager should be proud and hats off to him or her.
Great hotel. Service was beautiful and a nice restaurant and bar to hang out and meet people. One of the best hotels in Atlanta.
In general our stay was very nice. We were, however, disappointed in the cleanliness of our room. There were clipped toe nails on the carpet... and smudges on the nightstands.
Extremely good service, and incredible room! Perfect place for my husband's birthday!
Great hotel in Atlanta 5 star all the way! Perfect stay!!

Daniel Cormier revealed parts of his UFC altercation with Brock Lesnar were expected. Other parts, like the push that garnered a lot of attention, was not.
After Daniel Cormier defeated Stipe Miocic to win the UFC Heavyweight Championship, he was challenged in the Octagon by Brock Lesnar who was sitting cageside during the event. Suggesting Lesnar had subtly egged him on before the fight, Cormier realized what he needed to do after winning the title.
Cormier explained during an interview with Steve Austin, "you and I know from being around Brock Lesnar, when Brock Lesnar shows up, most times he's looking for a fight, right? He ain't just coming to watch the UFC." With that already in the back of Cormier's mind, he was well aware of Lesnar's presence in the arena. Cormier said he was not used to waiting for his opponent to make his way to the ring and while he did so, he was pacing back and forth. "I look through the Octagon, and Brock Lesnar is just staring at me."
Trying to stay focused on the fight he's about to have Cormier said, "I don't have time to be worried about Brock smirking at me and sh*t right now. So I look over there and he's standing there and kind of like looking at me like, you know [if] you get this done, it's go time."
Cormier suggested he had no intention of originally calling out Lesnar but remembering how bothered he was by Lesnar's disrespect prior to the bout, Cormier said, "After the fight, I was like, get in here. You're here for a fight, we'll give you a fight."
Cormier said calling Lesnar out and Lesnar coming into the ring was not a shock. What did surprise him was how quickly he'd forgotten Lesnar was so big. Had he remembered that and known he was going to get pushed, it wouldn't have looked so terrible as Cormier would have dug his feet in.
Cormier wanted a good visual with the two facing off. What he got instead was not what he expected.
