Botox migraine
What is botox migraine and also how do injections work
The amazing residential or commercial properties of botulinum toxin (botox migraine) as well as its effect on the skin was discovered fairly accidentally in 1982 when clinical studies were conducted in the treatment of strabismus and blepharospasm.
Control injection under the skin of tiny dosages of botulinum contaminant triggers local paralysis of facial creases. The effect lasts as much as 6 months. botox migraine
For or versus botox migraine
Do or otherwise do botox? Some claim that the medicine swiftly removes wrinkles and also indicators of aging, while others go over the harmful buildings of botox. So, botox migraine.
When Botox ( botox migraine), is administered, face wrinkles kick back under the skin. This residential or commercial property of the neurotoxin is made use of in the temple, the zone in between the brows, the periorbital and perioral areas.
Migraine and botox migraine
On top of that, it was observed that botox, botox migraine, right into the axillary containers, hands, and also feet decrease the splitting up of sweat, which has actually become commonly utilized in the therapy of hyperhidrosis. And some people after the shots completely eliminate a migraine headache and also migraine-like discomfort. A neurotoxin is entirely eliminated after 6-9 months. So, botox migraine

Summer is alive and well in Boston, and it's one of my favorite times of the year. It's so amazing to be in the City during the summer, when there are so many things to do and Bostonians are dead-set on enjoying as much of the nice weather as possible! No one wants to think about how the cold and gloomy winter will be back soon.
However, this summer has been incredibly wet and rainy. It's a little discouraging, to wait for this time of year and then not get to actually spend much time enjoying it! However, as someone that's from drought ridden areas of Texas (which is pretty much the whole state), I appreciate that the rain is keeping everything in bloom and keeping the sweltering heat to a minimum.
This got me thinking. What are some of fun activities around the City during mucky, rainy weather?
- New England Aquarium – during the summer months (because school is out and tourists flock to the area), the Aquarium can be incredibly packed! It's a very cool facility and there are four or so floors of aquatic life that will keep the entire family (or animal lover) engaged. Of course, don't miss the scheduled animal chats, where the keepers provide you with a look at the life of the animals at the facility and there is a fantastic sting ray touch tank, among other activities. I would definitely recommend putting on those rain boots and hiking it out to the Aquarium, which is located by the waterfront and the Faneuil area. Check out the schedule for the IMAX Theater, while you're out there also.
- Museum of Fine Arts – another destination in Boston that gets incredibly crowded on the weekends, the MFA is a great place to hit up during those wet weather days. The museum is large, and you can easily spend a whole day there. Plus, the MFA has food inside the building but you're not far from anything in the Fenway area, if you want to eat somewhere more unique. In the summer, the MFA holds Summer Friday events, where they host live music (and have a cash bar). The best part? They keep these scheduled even during rainy days – you just report to the Upper Rotunda in the museum.
- Let's Bowl! – one of my personal favorite activities is bowling (big ball, for those of you New Englanders). A great place in the City to bowl is Jillians/Lucky Strike. It's in the Fenway area, and has three floors of bowling, pool, etc. If you're in the Boylston area, try Kings instead. While it doesn't have three floors, it does have a considerable amount of space for its bowling alley, a large arcade and a restaurant/bar. Plus, the Summer Shack (a Phantom Gourmet recommended seafood locale) is right next door. If you would rather get in touch with your "New England" roots, and try candlepin bowling instead, I would recommend Boston Bowl (Dorchester) or Lanes and Games (Cambridge).
- Roller Derby – a favorite summer activity for me is attending Roller Derby matches hosted by the Boston Derby Dames. Rain or shine, these local events are held in Wilmington, MA at the Shriner Auditorium and are less than $20.00 for tickets. Beer, derby and "sick" player names like the Secretary of Hate Killery Clinton? Yes, please!
- Eat! – of course, no rainy day would be complete without a day spent snacking or eating. As you've seen on this blog, there are always plenty of restaurants to grab delicious grub from, so I'm not going to necessarily make any recommendations for food places but you can always check out the Boston Globe's Chow Down Beantown blog, for reviews of the newest restaurants. I like to watch the Phantom Gourmet on Saturday's, and pick out new or yummy looking places to try. Or you can mix it up, and try to attend a cooking class at the Boston Center for Adult Education.
Hopefully, the rainy season will end soon but until then, I'm going to try to enjoy the Boston summer as much as I can…even if it's indoors.

Back to Ohio State University
The dankprofessor has put off dealing with the second part of the report of the OSU Work Group on consensual student professor sexual relationships. Well, now that we are into a New Year I will deal with the last part of the report. And, there is really not very much to deal with; the core of their argument has already been presented. In much of the second part of the report, the writers survey the relevant policies of other professions and conclude that universities which do not regulate student professor consensual relationships are professionally out of step. They conclude their argument in the following terms-
"The professional relationships described above are primarily one-on-one relationships, rather than with groups such as classes of students. However, many would argue that students stand in much the same relationship to their professors as do clients/patients to their lawyers, doctors, and therapists. Graduate and professional students, in particular, frequently work one-on-one with their professors, and undergraduate students have ample opportunities for one-on-one relationships. More importantly, students are in the same vulnerable position with their professors and staff as are clients and patients with other professionals, and hence students are equally subject to unfair exploitation.2″
So boiling down their argument, it becomes that students and professors are pretty similar to the situation of patients and doctors. My argument with this comparison is that it is patently absurd. Easy for us to evaluate in the context of our personal experience. I will frame the situation in terms of a few questions- How similar are your feelings of going into a medical office or a hospital to that of going into a class or going into a university? Do you see your identity as a student to be quite similar to your identity as a patient? For you, is university life and hospital life pretty much the same? Do you hang out by the doctors office? Do you socialize and dine with other patients? Do you work with your doctor on evaluating patients or doing medical research? Do you see yourself as part of a medical community? Do medical doctors you know have social gatherings consisting primarily of their patients?
I could go on and on with these sorts of questions, and I think it is clear that the hospital and medical and therapy worlds are of a different genre from that of the university. University life simply cannot be subsumed into some sort of homogeneous professional category; university life is in a category by itself. And it is a shame that all too many persons such as the members of this Work Group want to take that uniqueness away. Such is consistent with the agenda of some banning advocates with their goal of transforming the university place into just another workplace or corporate place. God forbid that people will ever view hospital campuses as essentially interchangeable with university campuses. In the dankprofessor's opinion, it is hospitals that are anchored into medical schools and into university campuses that makes these hospitals more hospitable, more open places to be. And, in addition, it needs to be pointed out that the hospitals that are teaching hospitals do not have bans on medical doctor/teacher and student relationships. Somehow the OSU Working Group overlooked this point and it comes down to this- that in the medical university world students are not equated with patients and med students dating medical professors is viewed as not being subject to regulation.
Then the Work Group concludes-
"The costs to the university are clear. Permitting consensual sexual relations between faculty and students threatens our ability to create and sustain the climate that both the Academic Plan and the Diversity Action Plan view as essential if Ohio State is to attain status as one of the great public research and teaching universities."
The conclusion is simply one of hyperbole and absurdity. Can anyone free of a blinding ideology conclude that a university's greatness can be undermined by students and professors being permitted to date? Certainly such a freedom did not prevent the members of the Work Group from becoming employees at OSU. If the Work Group is to be taken seriously, maybe their project is to escape from feelings of mediocrity and then once this policy is passed they would then be propelled into limelight of a great university.
The Work Group then concludes its report with the following recommendations-
- 2. In addition to any issues the committee determines need to be examined, the following issues should be considered:
- a. What should be the standard governing consensual sexual relations between faculty and students?
- i. Retain the current strongly discourage standard.
- ii. Prohibit such relationships when the faculty member has some professional responsibility for the student and strongly discourage such relationships with other students (following Iowa, Indiana, and Arizona).
- iii. Prohibit such relationships with all students even when the faculty member has no professional responsibility.
- a. Undergraduate only.
- b. Undergraduate, graduate, and professional.
- b. Prohibitions regarding minors-clarify that this is illegal
- c. Regardless of the standard that is adopted, should faculty be required to report to their supervisors or other university officials (and should it be reported in writing) consensual sexual relationships with students?
- i. Privacy concerns, particularly with respect to same-sex relationships.
- d. Should the same rule be applied to staff who supervise students?
- e. Should the consensual sexual relationship policy be separate from the sexual harassment policy?
- f. What are the sanctions for violating whatever policy is adopted?
- g. Should students involved in these relationships be subject to sanctions?
- a. What should be the standard governing consensual sexual relations between faculty and students?
- 3. The make up of the committee should include the following:
- a. Appointees from the following University Senate committees: Steering, Council on Academic Freedom & Responsibility, Council on Student Affairs, Diversity Committee,
- b. At least one faculty member with expertise on student development,
- c. Representatives from the AAUP, the President's Council on Women, Office of Human Resources, Rape Education and Prevention Program, Counseling and Consultation Service, the Student Advocacy Center, and
- d. Three students – graduate, professional, and undergraduate.
- a. Appointees from the following University Senate committees: Steering, Council on Academic Freedom & Responsibility, Council on Student Affairs, Diversity Committee,
- 4. The committee should conclude its work by submitting its written recommendations to the president by June, 2005.
"1. 1 The President should appoint a committee with the charge of examining the current consensual sexual relation policy to determine if the policy should be revised.
Report to The President's Council on Women From the Work Group Examining the University's Policy on Consensual Sexual Relations Between Faculty and Students The Ohio State University, 1/2005 17″———————————————————————————If you wish, you can write to me directly at firstname.lastname@example.com

One Great Bottle: Brick House 2011 Gamay Noir
I've been thinking a lot about Beaujolais lately, and how much I love it. I truly believe that Cru Beaujolais is one of the best wine values around today—there's a number of tremendous winemakers in those villages making wine from top sites, and it sells (for now) for less than it should.
But all that Beaujolais-drinkin' got me thinkin' about gamay in general, and wondering if there was more to taste domestically. The Bone-Jolly Gamay Noir from Edmunds St. John in California is popular among a certain category of wine geek these days, but I must admit it never really excited me. It's juicy, drinkable wine, but I prefer Edmunds' Bebame Red.
Just when my enthusiasm for domestic gamay was flagging, though, a bottle of Brick House 2011 Gamay Noir ($25) from a 40-acre farm on Ribbon Ridge in Oregon snapped me to attention. This wine pops with acidity, almost like Sour-Patch kids, and it's vivid stuff, full of cranberries and lemon pulp, but with the body to back it up. This is a loud, food-friendly wine, and it gets your juices flowing. It offers a little more heft, a little more punch, than the Bone-Jolly and it's super-fun to drink. It's awesome with pizza topped with spicy salami, but we'd also love to try it with a burger.
Have you had a chance to taste the wines from Brick House? Any other domestic Gamay to recommend?

How Do I Know When to Schedule AC Repair in Laguna Beach?
It can be difficult to determine if your air conditioner requires repair or not. Here are some of the most common problems you may experience with your unit:
- The air conditioner is running, but the house is not cooling – This could be the results of a buildup of debris and dirt inside your air conditioner. Not having regular maintenance checks performed on your unit can lead to dirty coils and filters that are clogged. This issue, while seemingly simple, could lead to further damage to your unit. Another issue that may cause your home not to cool properly is a lack of refrigerant in the system. This could be due to a lack of complete charge or a leak. Call a professional to have your unit checked over and consider setting up a regular maintenance schedule.
- The air conditioner won't turn on – If you have checked your thermostat to make sure the batteries are working and the unit is switched to cool and your unit still will not switch on, it could be due to many reasons. One of these problems may be electrical failure. Issues such as corroded wires or too much pressure on a compressor can cause your air conditioner to stop working. Regular maintenance can help prevent these types of issues from occurring. If your unit has stopped working, call the professionals today for AC repair in Laguna Beach.
- The room temperature changes are dramatic – If you find that the temperature in your home changes more than 3 degrees when your unit is cycling, your thermostat may have adjustment issues. This can end up costing you money as your energy consumption goes up due to the thermostat not doing it's job properly. It may be a simple adjustment to your thermostat, or it could be more complicated. Contact Dynamic Air Services today to have your thermostat checked.
- The air conditioner is on, but there is not air coming out – If you can clearly hear the motor on your unit running yet you are not feeling any air movement this could be due to belt issues inside your unit. Contact Dynamic Air Services today and let us get your air conditioner up and running so you don't get stuck on a hot day.
- The outside unit is leaking – Leaks can be due to many things. You may have a leak in the refrigerant, a blockage in the pipes, or a formation of ice. Any of these issues may cause your air conditioner to leak excessively. If you have a leak, it is best to call a professional to diagnose and fix the problem, as it may require taking apart your unit.

This week's radio address from Gov. LePage included a shocker toward the end — an endorsement of part of Obamacare.
LePage's positive words about this policy element could — just could — open the door to a less common way of expanding Medicaid.
Gov. LePage has refused to support Medicaid expansion.
But, in his talk, Gov. LePage seemed to support the subsidies to buy insurance through insurance exchanges.
These are not just for very low-income individuals, by the way. A family of four with an annual income of $40,000 would get a $10,000 subsidy.
In arguing that rapidly paying back hospitals should not be tied to Medicaid expansion, LePage said:
[U]nder ObamaCare, low-income Mainers will qualify for federal tax subsidies to buy private insurance. Let me repeat that: low-income Mainers will qualify for money from the federal government to buy health insurance.
The Supreme Court ruled that Medicaid expansion is optional. The court also revealed that if states expanded Medicaid to cover the uninsured, those same people will qualify to get tax subsidies to buy health insurance. . . If more Mainers in 2014 will get tax subsidies to become insured, why is Democratic leadership holding up the hospital bill? [Source]
If the subsidies are ok with LePage, logically he could accept a less common way of expanding Medicaid.
If the subsidy system is ok with the governor, he just might accept an approach Arkansas is using to expand Medicaid, which relies on the insurance exchanges and subsidies.
In the so-called "private option"
Arkansas would accept the money allocated for Medicaid expansion under the federal health care law, but would use it instead to buy private insurance for about 250,000 eligible low-income residents. Those individuals who earn up to 138 percent of the poverty line — or $15,415 per year — would purchase subsidized private insurance through the state's insurance exchange. . .
GOP supporters of the idea described it as a conservative approach to reforming Medicaid and a way to help businesses avoid penalties under the federal health law for not providing insurance to employees. [Source]
In addition, this approach enables Arkansas to get the larger federal match for expanding Medicaid while not including more people in traditional Medicaid.
Now, there are various advantages and disadvantages to this approach and those are worth discussing should it gain more attention.
Gov. LePage administration hasn't endorsed this potential policy path, but it should be asked about it, since it's consistent with the governor's endorsement of federal subsidies.

An obvious and oft-asked question after announcing the SMA Managers of the Year is how, exactly, they were chosen?
Investment Advisor and AdvisorOne have teamed with Denver-based research firm Prima Capital in each of the past eight years to honor the best separately managed account managers in multiple categories. Prima, whose planned acquisition by Envestnet was announced in February (closing of the deal is expected in April; see the June 2011 cover story for more about Envestnet), looks for repeatable and sustainable processes in the products and managers they consider as candidates for this annual honor.
The products must report to the PrimaGuide research application, have at least $200 million in assets and have tenured management of at least three years. Products and managers must rate highly according to Prima's due diligence process, which uses a proprietary, systematic, multifactor manager evaluation methodology that combines both quantitative and qualitative criteria. There are 13 factors that the Prima analysts consider before recommending the finalists for SMA Managers of the Year, including performance, firm, people, process, style, customer service, tax efficiency and composite.
The goal? To identify two finalists for each award, with one of the finalists being recognized as the primary recommendation.
A decision-making committee comprising Prima executives and researchers, as well as Investment Advisors editorial staff, is then convened to decide the winner in each category based on the criteria described above.
The categories are: Large-Cap U.S. Equity Manager; Mid-Cap U.S. Equity Manager; Small-Cap U.S. Equity Manager; International or Global Manager; Taxable or Tax-Exempt Fixed Income Manager; and Specialty Manager, which involves a specialty stock, dividend strategy, opportunistic alpha manager, all-cap, go-anywhere or tax-aware strategy.
Unfortunately, no one qualified for the Specialty Manager category this year, but fortunately, two competing firms in one category were so close in the outcome of Prima's due diligence process that both were awarded the prize. It was just one of many pleasant surprises to come from this year's crop.

John DeLucie may be famous for feeding the glitterati, but his private passion is New York coffee shops — those with a bit of European style. Between working as chef and co-owner at the Lion downtown, Crown uptown and now the newly opened Bill's in Midtown, it's no wonder the 51-year-old is able to start the day at a java joint in the West Village and end it at one on the Upper East Side. This is his caffeinated New York.
1. Via Quadronno, 25 E. 73rd St., between Madison and Fifth avenues
"They have the best little sandwiches in NYC: not too thick, just delicious fresh bread, a couple slices of meat and mustard. I discovered the coffee after finding those sandwiches. It's real Italian coffee culture. People don't tend to take out: they stand up and drink it at the counter. There are not enough places like that in New York. I run into a lot of Upper East Side Crown customers. They're not sure who I am out of my whites! I went there for coffee to energize the night we hosted the Met Gala after-party at Crown."
2. Zibetto Espresso Bar, 1385 Sixth Ave., between 55th and 56th streets
"These guys are serious baristas — no pumpkin lattes here. It's a little sliver of a place; if you're walking briskly you can miss it. When my agent got me my book deal, we walked over and celebrated with an espresso."
3. Sant Ambroeus, 259 W. Fourth St., at Perry Street
"When I was working on the Waverly opening, I would go there every morning. I like that kind of environment for work, and I still go to it most mornings to write e-mails. Recently, I saw Martha Stewart there having a business meeting, and Anna Wintour at lunchtime. When we were about to open Crown, I started going to the one uptown, which is very high-energy. They have great panettone and brioche, so when I'm in a carb mode, I'll indulge."
4. Morandi, 211 Waverly Place, between Perry and Charles streets
"While I was writing my book, I went in there every day, and sat at the same seat at the same table for 11 months (above.) I like to make my own Americano, so I get a double espresso and a side of hot water, and sometimes order scrambled eggs with herbs or an egg- white frittata. They would give me a big farm table, I would spread out my notes and meet once a week with my co-writer. I love the sense of community in the West Village; people were supportive and I made some coffee friends there. I ran into Malcolm Gladwell quite a few times, but I was far too intimidated to have a conversation with him. If I saw the restaurant was getting too busy, I would pack up because they needed the table, and because it got too loud."
5. Kava Cafe, 803 Washington St., between Horatio and Gansevoort streets
"My morning workout is a bit unusual. I run up the West Side Highway for 20 minutes, stop to re-energize with an espresso at this Meatpacking District spot, then run back home. It's got a cool, modern décor, and it's filled with young people and tourists. When the weather is good, it's nice to sit in the garden."
6. Buvette, 42 Grove St., between Bleecker and Bedford streets
"It's owned by Jody [Williams], who had been the chef at Morandi. The place is so quaint, and the staff is sweet and adorable. They make these delicious espresso eggs that they cook with an espresso/cappuccino steamer, then add smoked salmon or prosciutto."
7. Abraço, 86 E. Seventh St., between First and Second avenues
"I love the husband-and-wife vibe. The owner has a thick mop of silver hair and knows everything about coffee; his wife cooks absolutely delicious peasant-style food. I love the frittata with potato and olive oil pound cake. Coffee is ground to order, because otherwise it oxidizes and gets bitter. I would have walked right by this space thinking nothing could be done with it, but they turned it into a wonderful, vibrant spot. It's so small that everyone winds up congregating on the sidewalk."

General Education Overview
General Education (Wright State Core)
The Wright State Core is an integrated program of courses and experiences that provides students with the breadth of skills, knowledge and understanding expected of university graduates. A university degree goes beyond preparing graduates for a profession; it transforms their lives and their communities. The Wright State Core helps students develop the knowledge and skills essential for critical thinking, creative problem solving, meaningful civic engagement, multicultural competence, appreciation for the arts, and life-long learning. Wright State graduates will have the ability to apply insights from multiple disciplines to engage effectively with a diverse world.
University Learning Objectives
Wright State graduates will be able to:
- communicate effectively
- demonstrate mathematical literacy
- evaluate arguments and evidence critically
- apply the methods of inquiry of the natural sciences, social sciences, and the arts and humanities
- demonstrate global and multicultural competence
- demonstrate understanding of contemporary social and ethical issues
- participate in democratic society as informed and civically engaged citizens
As a part of the requirements for a baccalaureate degree at Wright State University, students must complete a minimum of 38 hours of course work in the Wright State Core program. The specific requirements must be completed prior to graduation. Students should complete English 1100 and 2100 and the Core mathematics requirement by the time they have earned 45 credits at Wright State University.
Honors Sections
Honors sections of Wright State Core courses are available for both entering freshmen and continuing Wright State students who meet Honors Program criteria. Honors sections have smaller enrollments; encourage student participation; offer more sophisticated and complex assignments; and provide greater opportunities for analysis, synthesis, and creative expression.

The goal of Brad Meltzer's Decoded, a hokey conspiracy theory investigation show where supposedly serious-minded investigative journalists, dig up very shallow dirt about famous crimes and infamous events. Meltzer and his trio of journalists reveal just how disingenuous they are whenever they wring their hands and warn viewers that the highly speculative insinuations that they're making could be wrong. They're almost as bad as Glenn Beck for doing this, propounding wild theories and even emphasizing the dire implications of these theories one minute and then warning viewers not to casually jump to the conclusions that they just leapt to.
Even Unsolved Mysteries was never this self-conscious or apologetic about the kind of show it was putting on. Host Robert Stack gave his spiel dressed in a trench coat and would always swagger out into a spotlight from out of the dark of a theatrically dim studio. But on Decoded, Brad Meltzer makes himself look that much more ridiculous by plaintively gabbing in front of a green screen while complex mathematical equations and models form spontaneously all around him. It's that veneer of rationalized respectability that smacks of total bullshit. While I love Identity Crisis to bits, I'll believe Stack's account of the Mothman before I'll believe Meltzer's crackpot team of truth-seekers.
Tonight's topic of discussion on Decoded was the mysterious death of Pope John Paul I, a subject of some controversy considering the fact that no official inquiry into this pope's death was ever revealed to the public. Then again, that's part of Vatican tradition: no autopsies are performed on popes. As Meltzer explains, the Vatican is an autonomous country, so its traditions and laws are its own.
This gave one so-called expert the opportunity to insinuate that the Vatican tradition of not allowing autopsies on dead Pope's sets up what are, "Not even loopholes, they set up for loopholes." I'm not even sure what that means: the Vatican created this law in anticipation of needing to kill one of their own? Or is there some other loophole that this guy is obtusely alluding to? We are talking about a guy that smugly tells Christine McKinley, one of Meltzer's three investigators, "Rome is eternal." According to him, the corruption of Rome, of which he is also woefully vague, somehow necessarily made the Vatican corrupt, too.
The story that Decoded tries to tell about Pope John Paul I is pretty convoluted: he died 33 days after becoming pope because he was threatening to expose corruption within the Catholic church. Furthermore, this death was possibly foretold in the third of the Three Secrets of Fatima and he was threatening to get rid of the Freemasons' influence on the Vatican. Also, he might have been about to blow the whistle on a banking scandal in Venice that involves the Mafia.
This might have seemed logical or even believable if information weren't presented in such a scattershot way. Take for instance when journalist Nick Pisa talks about how a couple of Italian investigators and an investigative reporter that were looking into John Paul I's death were murdered shortly after his death. Pisa doesn't give us any substantive information on how they died or who murdered them. Furthermore, these deaths are only obliquely alluded to earlier in the show when Meltzer refers to a "trail of bodies." But we only realize that that's what he's talking about later when Pisa speaks, after Meltzer and the gang talk about the Freemasons and the Three Secrets of Fatima. So both immediately, when Meltzer says, "trail of bodies," and later, when we found out about those bodies, Decoded's story loses credibility just because McKinley never asks about the particulars of deaths that might have given the episode's theories some severity.
Meltzer's team is comprised of three unequivocally awful interviewers. Buddy Levy, one of the show's three investigators, tries to lead one expert by nonsensically suggesting that the walls surrounding Vatican City might be "keep[ing] us from the truth—potentially, maybe, potentially." It also doesn't help that Levy risibly gasps whenever a teasing hint of a conspiracy is revealed. Dramatic stings and manufactured looks of shock accompany every whiff of potential corruption, making it even harder to trust people that almost never bother to press their interview subjects very hard. For instance, when talking to Pisa, McKinley gawps at the idea that the Vatican never, by a rule, conducts autopsies on their Popes.
So she never asks Pisa why he strategically says that John Paul I's brother said there was no history of heart attacks in their family when she had told him that John Paul I supposedly had a personal history of heart disease. All we know is that, according to Pisa and his sources, John Paul I was a very fit man. So according to the show, he couldn't have died naturally from a heart attack. This is just patently wrong: you can be perfectly healthy and still be highly susceptible to heart attacks. By letting Pisa off the hook on this simple contention, McKinley winds up looking like a sensation-seeking muck-raker whose agenda supersedes her integrity.
But the worst aspect of Decoded isn't that it's skimpy on specific information or that it's investigation is conducted by suspect interrogators, but that it's trying to pass as a respectable show that's not really trying to rock the boat too hard. At one point, McKinley tries to butter up Pisa by saying, "I'd hate to think the Vatican was involved." Even though later she says (twice) that she can't help but look at the Vatican in a different light ("Does that not look like a haunted house to you now?").
Meltzer weakly tries to wrap up tonight's episode by saying that he's not laying blame on the Vatican as an institution but rather suggesting that there were corrupt individuals within the Vatican ("The Vatican doesn't lie, people lie."). But this is after he enthusiastically pounces on a link between a banking scandal and Mafia-loaned drug money by saying, "Now you're getting the real money." It's also after he tackily jokes that, "Not every Freemason is an evil mastermind," defensively anticipating that that's the prevailing attitude he's going to encounter. And yet, he does nothing to dispel that image. Instead, he revels in the vagueness of his conspiracy and uses it to create really hokey canned drama. Surely Robert Stack is spinning in his grave.

Jesus Christ Superstar
rock opera by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice
Jesus Christ Superstar (1971) is a rock opera by Andrew Lloyd Webber with lyrics by Tim Rice. The story is based on gospel accounts of the last week of Jesus' life, and highlights political and interpersonal struggles of Judas Iscariot and Jesus.
- Think while you still have me. Move, while you still see me; cause' you'll be lost — you'll be sorry when I'm gone!
- Sing me your songs, but not for me alone. Sing out for yourselves, for you are blessed. There is not one of you who cannot win the kingdom. The slow, the suffering, the quick the dead.
- Neither you, Simon, nor the fifty thousand, nor the Romans, nor the Jews, nor Judas, nor the twelve, nor the priests, nor the scribes, nor doomed Jerusalem itself understand what power is, understand what glory is, understand at all.
- To conquer death you only have to die.
- The end...is just a little harder, when brought about by friends.
- This is my blood you drink. This is my body you eat.
- One of you denies me, one of you betrays me.
- Show me there's a reason for your wanting me to die. You're far too keen on where and how, but not so hot on why. Alright, I'll die! Just watch me die! See how I die!
- God, thy will is hard. But you hold every card. I will drink your cup of poison, nail me to your cross and break me, bleed me, beat me, kill me take me now, before I change my mind.
- Judas, must you betray me with a kiss?
- You have nothing in your hands. Any power you have, comes to you from far beyond. Everything is fixed, and you can't change it.
- It is finished. Father, into your hands I commend... my spirit! [He dies]
- My mind is clearer now. At last all too well I can see where we all soon will be. If you strip away the myth from the man you will see where we all soon will be. Jesus! You started to believe the things they say of you. You really do believe this talk of god is true! And all the good you've done will soon get swept away. You've begun to matter more than the things you say. Listen Jesus I don't like what I see. All I ask is that you listen to me. And remember, I've been your right hand man all along. You have set them all on fire. They think they've found the new Messiah. And they'll hurt you when they find they're wrong...
- All your followers are blind. Too much heaven on their minds.
- People who are hungry, people who are starving, they matter more than your feet and hair!
- Just don't say I'm ... damned for all time.
- Jesus: And that's not all I see, one of you here dining, one of my twelve chosen will leave to betray me!
- Judas: Cut out the dramatics, you know very well who!
- Jesus: Why don't you go do it?
- Judas: You want me to do it?
- Jesus: Hurry, they're waiting...
- Judas: If you knew why I do it...
- Jesus: I don't care why you do it.
- Judas: To think I admired you, for now I despise you!
- Jesus: You liar... You Judas...
- Judas: You wanted me to do it! What if I just stayed here and ruined your ambition? Christ, you deserve it!
- Jesus: Hurry you fool, hurry and go, save me your speeches I don't wanna know. Go!
- You sad pathetic man. See where you've brought us to, our ideals die around us, and all because of you! But now the saddest part of all, is someone has to turn you in. Like a common criminal, like a wounded animal. A jaded mandarin. A jaded mandarin. Like a jaded, faded, faded, jaded, jaded mandarin.
- Christ, I know you can't hear me, but I only did what you wanted me to. Christ, I'd sell out the nation, for I have been saddled with the murder of you. I have been spattered with innocent blood. I shall be dragged through the slime and the mud.
- I don't know how to love him. I don't know why he moves me. He's a man. He's just a man. He is not a king, he is just the same as anyone I know. He scares me so. When he's cold and dead, will he let me be? Does he love...does he love me too? Does he care for me?
- My mind is darkness now. My God, I'm sick. I've been used, and you knew, all the time. God, I'll never ever know why you chose me for your crime, your foul, bloody crime. You have murdered me.
- Every time I look at you I don't understand why you let the things you did get so out of hand. You'd have managed better if you'd had it planned. Now why'd you choose such a backward time and such a strange land? If you'd come today, you would have reached the whole nation. Israel in 4 BC had no mass communication. Don't get me wrong, don't get me wrong, don't get me wrong now. I want to know, I want to know, I only want to know: Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ, who are you what have you sacrificed?
- Tell me what you think about your friends at the top. Who'd you think besides yourself's was the pick of the crop? Buddha, was he where it's at, is he where you are? Could Mohammed move a mountain or was that just PR? Did you mean to die like that? Was that a mistake or did you know your messy death would be a record-breaker?
- You've got the wrong man lady, I don't know him. And I wasn't where he was tonight, never near the place.
- I had to do it, don't you see? Or else they'd go for me.
Simon ZealotesEdit
- There must be over fifty thousand screaming love and more for you, everyone of fifty thousand would do whatever you ask him to do.
- Keep them yelling their devotion, but add a touch of hate at Rome. You will rise to a greater power, we will win ourselves a home. You'll get the power and the glory, for ever and ever and ever...
Mary MagdaleneEdit
- Try not to get worried, try not to turn on to problems that upset you, oh. Don't you know everything's alright, yes, everything's fine.
- Should I bring him down? Should I scream and shout? Should I speak of love, let my feelings out? I never thought I'd come to this. What's it all about?
- I don't know how to love him, I don't see why he moves me, he's just a man, just any man.
- It's what he told us you would do. I wonder how he knew?
- While he starts a major war, we theorize and chatter.
- The difference is they call him king. The difference frightens me.
- Put yourself in my place. I can hardly step aside. Cannot let my hand be tied. I am law and order. What about our priesthood? Don't you see that we could fall? If we are to last at all, we cannot be divided.
- One thing I'll say for him, Jesus is cool.
- Fools, you have no perception! The stakes we are gambling are frighteningly high. We must crush him completely, so like John before him this Jesus must die.
- He's just another scripture-thumping hack from Galilee.
- A trick or two with the lepers and the whole town's on its feet.
- Cut the protesting, forget the excuses. We want information, get up off the floor.
Pontius PilateEdit
- Then I saw thousands of millions crying for this man. And then I heard them mentioning my name, and leaving me the blame.
- Ah, so this is Jesus Christ. I am really quite surprised. You look so small...not a king at all.
- Well this is new: respect for Caesar? 'Til now this has been noticeably lacking. Who is this Jesus? Why is he different? You Jews produce messiahs by the sackful!
- Who is this broken man cluttering up my hallway? Who is this unfortunate?
- You hypocrites! You hate us more than him!
- Where are you from, Jesus? What do you want, Jesus? Tell me. You've got to be careful, you could be dead soon, could well be. Why do you not speak when I hold your life in my hands? How can you stay quiet? I don't believe you understand.
- Don't let me stop your great self-destruction. Die if you want to, you misguided martyr. I wash my hands of your demolition. Die if you want to, you innocent puppet.

Reviews Press
i cut down a howl bunch of trees in my backyard with the parang does the job
I'd be vary wary of taking this into the jungle.
Although this feels very good in the hand, I've seen a number fail at the handle join.
The tang should be full length and rivited but it tends to break off at the first screw/rivet point.
This machete is perfect. It is a good, sturdy build- although weighty, isn't too heavy for normal use. It has a very ergonomic grip with a strap that can be used to avoid your hand slipping up the blade. It also includes a matching sheath that compliments the design and has a good belt loop for East carry. Finally, the "pocket survival guide" and rescue signals that are perfect for survival situations. This really is what a machete should be: strong, efficient and truly awesome. Couldn't be more pleased with it. And yes- this really would be perfect for a zombie apocalypse (had to be said).
It's a very cool knife. im looking at buying it some day but whats with the zombie groups? It's cool and all but ive seen them on every page. Maybe you guys should be the sponsers not Bear Grylls.
Awesome Side weapon now standee issue for all officers next to the 45 of course.
Once the bullets are gone a machete is the next best thing
looks cool feels great does the job and is great for zombie killing!!!
Standard Equipment for our teams now. Great Parang.
Bear is my idol. This parang is genius, and his idea is a great one. It works just as it is supposed to, and as far as sharpening goes, it hasn't been a problem for me yet (brought it on three camping trips and used it for firewood). The design really does maximize efficiency and comfort and surprisingly, even when striking wood and not getting clean through it, barely any shock is felt. I believe strongly in Bear's ideas, and however many defects there may be, as a manufacturer, Gerber may sometimes have these problems. I'm proud of the craftmanship and brains that went into this tool.
Highly recommended.
I live on a Horse Ranch in the Everglades. That means I am constantly trimming brush which the Parang handles nicely. By profession I'm a Nature Photographer which means I'm slogging thru the swamps or Kayaking. Again the Parang sees more than it's fair share of use. I can finally stop collecting Machete's because the others don't hold a candle to the design and quality of this fellow. If I ever end up in a face to face with a Python I'm going to be a lot happier about it with this strapped to my hip. Thanks to Bear and Gerber for making something you can put your trust in.
I love The PARANG what and AWESOME TOOL!!!! I will own this and the survival series fire starter and the survival knife awesome
cleared my shooting lanes with ease, love the handle, balance feels great, its appearance is intimidating to people in public campgrounds which is always a plus. Gonna buy the Gator next.
bought it, love it I have made shelters with this . I have cleared brush out of the way for hunting and aswell as hiking . I love taking my family out hiking,hunting and fishing I won't leave home with out my things from bear and gerber. Thank you for another well made product
Title says bad ass btw.................
my better half got me this 4 my b day and every time im out hunting it has became a great tool for clearing away threw bushes ect and great 4 making a shelter.
hey taylor, maybe its razor sharp, youre just a mutant. Bad news: you cant get iV's(being scared of needles, good for me) Good news: you can now chase a promising career as being a superhero
the blade is meant to be slightly dull so the blade doesn't chip, take a katana for example, one of the sharpest swords if made correctly but if you strike some thing that is harder than bone the sword can break, if you start hacking with this parang it clears everything if you use it right and the edge will last longer
My son and I love this. When taking on walkers, the parang is hard to beat. Multiple uses for survival, brush clearing, menial tasks, and lopping off heads. Times are tough (with the dead walking and all), but having this close at hand takes the edge off. Does tend to rust, nothing to lose your head I've though (sorry, zombie humor).
Looks grreat cuts amazing friend has must have for a survival kit!!
CRAP...Dont buy
this is an awful machete that puts a bad name to bear grylls and gerber. It was so dull when I got it I could rub my fingers hard across the blade with no affects, not too big of a deal tho since it can just be sharpened, so I did so, then it cut right through this so called "military grade" sheath (which was a joke to begin with). I can't seem to get the thing to hold an edge for very long and it is always rusting. Very disappointed in the machete so I contacted Gerber warranty wanting to exchange this for another Gerber knife, I got a reply telling me everything I already knew about the warranty info and nothing about exchanging, I replied back and still have not gotten an answer back (pending 7 days?). Awful thru and thru. I would not buy this machete or recommend it to anyone
I AM 15 and i love it my buddys and I are both in a group that i made i have 14 of them
the parang is great the sheath is the problem used it outdoors once and the belt loop starting coming off
This is the third of the BG series I've purchased. The blade is heavy, the weight does the work. It's not made for mowing the lawn and all steel rusts. Why must people whine so much, just learn how to use your tools properly!
It is what it is guys - yet another version of a parang. As they go, this one is VERY good. Where most people go wrong is swinging "willy-nilly" & with no real force. Strokes should be deliberate and with the required, CONTROLLED, force. Rust? It is
A friend brought it to me from US and I'm loving it. I'm more used to the african machete, this one is way thicker tha the african ones but when you manage to use it properly, it's a great tool, cut well big branch for the firecamp or cleaning the garden.
if you "weren't impressed" you clearly don't know "how" to use it. it. if you strike the target at the wrong angle & without enough strike force, as with any blade, it will dull FASTER & will not cut very well. my Parang has personally been used to cut o
After using the parang on slightly damp wood I had put it in the sheath. went to use it about 4 hours later I noticed rust and minor pitting on the non finished part of the blade. It cuts and chops like a charm but I want something I don't have to oil aft
Tried to use this in the hills of WV-
this would have been the 2 time using it- first time was with bamboo worked for a min then had to get a different tool -
blade dulled so much it would not even cut a blade of grass! must sharpened- so I have to carr
It is absolutely fantastic. although its a little dull initially its really easy to sharpen and on my last camping trip we cleared 30m area in a few minutes cutting down trees 3-4 inches thick.
also it feels great in your hands. its heavy but not too hea
Bought this for clearing out some heavy brush in the backyard. it performed well above what i expected. kept a great edge and have not sharpened it since i purchased it. have used it to cut up some fire wood and once again it has surpassed my expectati
If I'm not mistaken I saw this machete on the Walking Dead last Sunday.
Just got the Parang and kinda disappointed at first glance there were pits in the metal and the scabbard is a joke. I just used it to clear a bunch of small trees clean the branches. It didn't do well in clearing so I gave up and grabbed my loppers , way
After looking around for a good machete I decided to purchase this one, and I am glad that I did. I have used it for brush clearing and I now use it in place of my hatchet to split kindling. The blade is quite thick and stays sharp; I have only sharpened
I have one of the Parangs and it does ok on light stuff (no more than 1/2") but the blade dulls quickly. Changed the angle of sharpening on it and I hope it does better. Not quite what i was hoping for in this price range machete.
I purchased this tool hoping for a good quality type blade and what I got was a very weak version of a very short Machete. I broke the blade inside the handle on accident while doing some branch knocking during firewood prep. I'd say for cutting through t
I know right! Apparently you can buy one with a different stile sheath. I have the "old" stile sheath with 2 buttons and the velcrow strap. Personally I like it because there is NO WAY that parang is going to come out! I love the machete! It cuts through
i just picked up one of the parangs a couple weeks back and i luv it the bastard works like a charm now what i dont understand is the sheath on the one im seeing above here is not the same as the one i purchased mine has the velcrow and to button snaps so
The Parang handled some light hatchet duties nicely, easily cleaving small limbs from tree trunks, and chopping kindling was a breeze.
Your high school voted you most likely to survive on a deserted island. Your MacGyver skills and outdoor survival techniques are unmatched. Let's be honest, you could run circles around Bear Grylls if given the chance. Especially now that Bear is giving up his trade secrets, and collaborating with Gerber to create the machete of all machetes.

If you have an iPhone or Android mobile device, you may have noticed that the mobile version of Wikia has been getting a lot more attractive and interesting lately. Since we released our new mobile site back in December, we've been rolling out improvements to it nearly every week! Our mobile traffic has doubled in the last year (with some wikis getting nearly 20% of their traffic from mobile devices), and we're working hard to keep up with that growth! Here are some of the changes you might have noticed since our last update.
New Features
Wiki Nav. Our mobile skin now includes your wiki's full navigation menus at the top, accessible via the navigation icon. Since we currently have two styles of navigation in use across Wikia (the original two-level nav and the expanded three-level navigation), the mobile navigation is compatible with both. We've also kept the "Random Page" button available to visitors by placing it at the top of the menu.
Sharing. By clicking the sharing icon, you can now open a quick list of mobile-friendly ways to share a page with your friends through Twitter, Facebook, Google Plus, or email.
Category Pages. We've also redesigned the Category pages. The alphabetical list is now collapsed into sections by letter (with an "expand all" link if you prefer to view everything). If you have Category Exhibition enabled, we'll also display attractive thumbnails to represent the pages.
Read More. At the bottom of every page, you can see links to the same related pages you do on the desktop version. This is a useful invitation to readers to keep them interested and clicking further into your wiki.
Log In & Commenting. You can now log in to our new mobile interface to leave comments on blog posts, and wherever article comments are enabled. At the moment, this is all you can do while logged in through the mobile skin, but it lays the groundwork for more contribution tools that we look forward to releasing in the future.
Wikia.com & Hubs. We recently redesigned our homepage and hubs, and they look great on mobile now, too!
Friendlier ads. Ads now have a "close" button that you can click to remove them from view for each page load.
It's faster! We ran some tests and found that a wiki page now loads about 20 - 50% faster on mobile than on the desktop version. We're continually working to optimize load time to stay accessible at slower phone connection speeds.
Just the Beginning
Our mobile site is an exciting development project, and we have lots of ideas and plans ahead of us. You can expect to keep seeing regular improvements, and we'll tell you about them in our Technical Updates as soon as they're ready for you to enjoy.
What you can do to help? Start checking your wiki on a mobile device more frequently, and try to arrange your content in a way that can looks good in small spaces. If any of your standard pages look weird on a mobile device, please send us specific examples so we can check them out for ourselves. You can reach us through Special:Contact or leave feedback right from your phone via the "Feedback" link at the bottom of every page.
And don't forget -- you can view wikis on your iPhone or Android device from wherever you are, so enjoy your favorite wikis while you're on the go!

Spiral Hair Bands
Hi, my name is Neta Meir.
In October 2012, I've opened Worldwide Ballet out of my great love and passion for ballet.
I saw that there's so much talent in the world that needed to be shared. Two years later, I keep share with my 700k followers, aspects of the wonderful world of ballet.
As dancers usually do, I, too, am constantly looking for improving my dancing technique and performance. While doing so, I looked for the ultimate warmup outfits. I ended up this search with my own line of warmup wear, that is based on my experience and careful thought of dancers needs, adding a twist of fun colors. For a full professional -yet-fun experience, I added matching bags expressing us dancers, in a colorful manner.
A huge thank you goes to Lindsay Thomas Photography for the beautiful images, and for our amazing models- Elle Macy & Dylan Wald of Pacific Northwest Ballet.
Feel free to join my journey @netameirr & @worldwideballet on Instagram <3
I hope that you'll love this line as much as I do!
The Spiral Hair Bands package contains 4 gorgeous colors,
Transparent, Bronze, silver and gold.
Diameter: 3cm / 1.18 inch

Beyond the Western Mediterranean: Materials, Techniques and Artistic Production, 650-1500
On Saturday 20 April 2013, scholars gathered at The Courtauld Institute of Art for Beyond the Western Mediterranean: Materials, Techniques and Artistic Production, 650-1500, organised by Sarah Guérin (The Courtauld Institute of Art) and Mariam Rosser Owen (Victoria and Albert Museum) and sponsored by the Barakat Trust, the Economic History Society and Sam Fogg. Guest blogger Anabelle Gambert-Jouan shares her views.
The upcoming opening of the Musée des Civilisations de l'Europe et de la Mediterranée in Marseilles this summer will invite the public to take a new look at the culture of the Mediterranean. In light of the attention that will soon be turned in this direction, Saturday's symposium appeared to me as a perfectly timed opportunity to reconsider my perception of the region's rich history. Instead of approaching the Mediterranean in its entirety, the day's presentations offered in-depth and varied explorations of the notion of a shared medieval culture in the Western Mediterranean and in the territories beyond the sea's southern shores.
The first session took us on a peregrination from Morocco to Nigeria, passing through Mauritania and Mali. Sam Nixon drew our attention to the trade of raw materials, including gold and ivory, as well as that of glazed pottery, glass vessels, beads and copper, to name a few. This archaeological consideration of the connections between North and West Africa shed light on the trans-Saharan exchanges of production practices, material culture and architecture. Moving along the Niger River Basin, Kathleen Bickford Berzock introduced us to the area's rich visual culture, with a particular focus on sculptures of horse and rider. These objects' symbolic association with wealth and power speak of local articulations of status, which found a resonance in a wider Islamic context.
From one Mediterranean shore to another and across the boundaries of the Sahara, the study of the movement of objects, technologies and ideas asks us to reconsider notions of centre and periphery. The analysis of data related to shipwrecks established a regional maritime landscape that consolidated the perception of the Western Mediterranean as a distinct cultural entity. The creation of new centres may prove problematic in the long run. In the meantime however, work like Ronald A. Messier and Chloé Capel's study of the development of the medieval city of Sijilmasa (Morocco) in comparison with Tedgaoust and Kumbi Saleh (Mauritania) creates a much-needed balance in terms of scholarship devoted to lesser-known regions.
To delve into the details of all fourteen presentations would be impossible in a single post. Topics ranged from the transmission of techniques of carving rock crystal and sand-casting bronze doors to the dissemination of specific motifs. Each speaker's individual approach enriched a wider discussion on the nature of the connections between Western Mediterranean sub-regions. With subjects spanning over eight centuries, the day's lectures led us from North/West Africa to Norman Sicily, Southern Spain and finally to Castile during an impressive presentation in which Jessica Streit discussed possible architectural ties between the Assumption Chapel at Las Huelgas (Burgos) and Almohad mosques.
The Sahara and its neighbouring regions are rarely included in the art historical narrative of the Middle Ages. The consideration of the movement of objects, artistic practices and techniques across areas perceived as natural barriers challenged preconceptions. The lectures drew out the lines of less studied, albeit extremely rich, networks of cross-cultural exchanges across the desert and beyond. By stressing the complex and changing nature of these links, the conference successfully avoided creating overly rigid boundaries that would prevent a larger scale dialogue between Western Mediterranean regions and other parts of the medieval world from taking place.
