A police warning has been issued after a woman and her dog were pulled from the frozen waters of the River Tyne in Haddington.
The woman jumped in to the East Lothian river to save her dog this morning after it became stuck under the thick covering of ice.
Firefighters were called to the scene at about 9am on Saturday and managed to rescue the woman from the water, but her dog sadly perished.
Police issued a warning after there were reports of local children out playing on the ice.
The incidents have sparked a police appeal warning the public not to step foot on frozen rivers, no matter how safe they may appear.
In this instance the warning has been issued to The Sands area of Haddington.
A police spokesperson said: "Don't be tempted to walk onto a frozen river - there is still a current flowing underneath and the surface won't look any different whether it's thick or thin.
An eyewitness, who took pictures of the incident involving the woman and her dog, said "every available appliance" was sent to rescue the stricken pair.
They added that the woman had two Labradors, both of which had gone into the water, with only one able to get out on its own accord.
The incident follows the rescue of a man who fell on Arthur's Seat in Edinburgh in icy conditions on Friday night.
The 42-year-old local man broke his foot and was unable to make his way down the 251m (823ft) hill.


Reserved a unit but got offered a house before we could use it. And even though we didn't use their service, the customer service we recieved was excellent. Very trust worthy friendly staff. Our impressions of the storage units were that they were clean,safe and secure. Bud was happy we got a house and even though I assumed we would lose our deposit he said they don't make it difficult for their customers and give it us back gladfully.
We highly recommend THE STORAGE PLACE, it's refreshing to find a business that cares!!
Truely a credit to local bussinesses.
Great range of units, well priced with excellent service.
We used the free van to move our stuff in and were very pleased overall.
We used the Storage Place for 2 months whilst our new house was being built. We checked out a few local places 1st but found the Storage Place to be the most suitable on price and location. The staff was friendly and very helpful. The free move in fan proved very useful. We would have no hesitation in recommending to friends or family.

Why Ted Cruz Got an A- on ThePulse2016.com's Gay Marriage Report Card
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) (photo credit: Gage Skidmore)
Ted Cruz gets major points for his willingness to fight in a highly public way against the Supreme Court's unfounded creations of a Constitutional right to gay marriage in the aftermath of Obergefell and for proposing multiple steps he would support, from a Constitutional amendment to a court-stripping bill. He appeared on Sean Hannity and NPR radio, sat down for an interview on Yahoo with Katie Couric, and penned a National Review essay. In each interview, he underscored the argument that submission to the 5-judge majority is not what democracy and respect for the rule of law means.
From Cruz's Hannity radio interview:
CRUZ: Yesterday and today were both naked and shameless judicial activism. Neither decision—the decision yesterday rewriting Obamacare, for the second time—six justices joined the Obama administration; you now have Barack Obama, Kathleen Sebelius, and six justices responsible for forcing this failed disaster of a law on millions of Americans and simply rewriting the law in a way that is fundamentally contrary to their judicial oaths. Today, this radical decision purporting to strike down the marriage laws in every state, it has no connection to the United States Constitution; they are simply making it up. It is lawless, and in doing so they have undermined the fundamental legitimacy of the United States Supreme Court.
HANNITY: What recourse is available? The only thing I can think of… I'd go back to Levin's book The Liberty Amendments, and that is, you know, convention of the states. I don't know what recourse is available. Can you think of any?
CRUZ: There are a number of recourse we have. Let's focus those on substance, then on the broader structural problem of a lawless court. On substance, on marriage, I've introduced a constitutional amendment that would protect the authority of state legislators to define marriage as the union between one man and one woman. We should pass that amendment. I've also introduced legislation stripping the federal courts of jurisdiction over legal assaults on marriage. The Constitution explicitly gives congress the power to strip jurisdiction as a check on a lawless judiciary. We should use that. Now the sad thing, Sean, is there aren't a whole lot of Republicans in Congress willing to stand and fight on either one of those.
Unfortunately a court stripping bill would not provide any protection against the emerging threats to traditional believers in the public square. Nor would it reverse the gay marriage ruling, since it would forbid higher courts from reversing Obergefell or the lower court decision that preceded it. In his National Review article, Cruz proposed judicial retention elections as a potential check on the courts. But such a move would require a Constitutional amendment, which the president has relatively little power to pass.
CNN captured Cruz in Iowa responding to a voter's question, and he called for an Article V convention to amend the Constitution. The Article V pathway to amend the Constitution is a state-based strategy that circumvents Congress and the White House entirely, making it unclear how electing Cruz would help.
While Ted Cruz was primarily trying to point to his deserved record of a willingness to fight that distinguishes him from many other Republican candidates, Cruz has not yet publicly pointed towards legislation he could pass that would protect our civil rights and allow us to continue to build and organize for our views in the public square. Hence the minus. Cruz is intensely competitive, and we know he hates that minus. We respect his support for marriage and his courage and his co-sponsorship of FADA. We hope he begins to point to it on the campaign trail.

It's September, and for the past three years, that's meant starting back at uni. For the past sixteen years, that's meant starting back at some sort of academic institution. But not this September.
Honestly, it's very unsettling. I feel like this time of year I'm normally reading through my course books, getting excited about my new modules, and am usually just ready to get back in the swing of things. And I do still feel like that.
I think it's partially because I'm still working my regular job and nothing feels all that different yet. I feel quite stagnant. As though, no, I'm not moving up through uni, I'm not learning, I'm not progressing. And I know that in life you're always moving forward, but not going back to uni has made me feel really uncomfortable, like I need some sort of movement, some sort of new engagement.
It's natural, I suppose. I think more than anything, it's the lack of regularity of it all. Things are different this September and I just don't know how to feel about it yet. Of course, I always knew I would come to this point in life eventually, but I don't think you can really prepare yourself for the 'what now' nature of it.
I've considered doing a Masters, I've considered all kinds of continuation with education. Ultimately, that's not what I want right now. I am, well and truly, done with formal education. Now I just need to work out what I do want to do, what new goals I'll set myself, work out where I want to be this time next year. It's one of those things that takes time, and I need to allow myself the time to consider my options and to think about my aims for the future.
September, as much as January, is a time for new beginnings, new plans, new lifestyles.
And I'm ready to embrace that.


Brad Pilon in his book 'Eat stop eat' mainly explores the effectiveness of sporadic fasting as a means employed to cut down weight. The author takes time to back his arguments with proven scientific studies to gain the readers confidence in his theory due to its controversial nature. At first instance, people's response is expected to be cynical since the theory based on facts that contrast with the popular belief that fasting is detrimental. The author therefore takes time in the first chapter to help change people's perceptions and prepare them mentally to read the material with an open mind by explaining his qualifications as a viable advisor.
The main guide generally consists of 91 pages but there are other packages with differing amount of pages. The material involves the significance of consuming proteins as a body building component. In the advanced scripts, there is a diet solution for ten days in which you are supposed to decide the one you are most comfortable with, to utilize for the rest of the weight loss process. The author advises on a 24 hour dieting period to make your mind get acclimatized to the system. There is also an informed guide on fitness training that is supposed to assist you maintain healthy muscles during the dieting period.
In addition to the manual script, there is also additional material in pdf and audio files focusing on the some of the authors interviews that disclose important information on the dos and don'ts for successful weight loss. For instance in one of his interviews he explains why diets get to a point where they cease being effective and explains on how to avoid such circumstances.
Basic package that comes with the main manual and contains 91 pages of detailed instructions on how the program works.
Deluxe package consists of the main Eat stop eat script with nutritional and fitness advice regarding how to go about intermittent fasting and an additional 121 pages advising on the quantity of protein to be consumed.
For the advanced format, in addition to the material provided in the deluxe package, it also has a 25 page guide focusing on a diet plan for ten days, 6 audio files and scripts containing some interviews on the author.
The chief advantage of the program is that it has easy to follow guidelines therefore making it effortless to follow through. It also doesn't require you to make any prior preparations like purchasing machinery for training of changing your diet arrangements. The information provided is very intense consisting of scientific studies and facts behind different theories therefore assisting you to make informed decisions. You are also guaranteed a 60 days cash reimbursement if at all you feel that the program is not ideal for you.
The drawbacks of the fitness plan are that it is not suitable for people with medical problems and the exercise plan doesn't provide specific exercises that you should perform. They instead provide you with general information on the ideal types of exercise and let you make a decision on the specific type.

Joan As Police Woman The Classic

SITE: Tenemos un Papá Pirata (Facebook Group)
REPORTED BY: Carolina Leal
Described by Joan Wasser as "punk rock R&B" and "American soul music," Joan as Police Woman combine two of the biggest influences on her music: classic soul such as Al Green and Nina Simone and the rougher experimental sounds of Sonic Youth and Bad Brains. The mix never sounds contrived, thanks to the intuitive interplay of Wasser's vocals, violins, and guitar, Rainy Orteca's bass, and Ben Perowsky's percussion in the first version of the group. Later, Wasser employed a varied cast of collaborators.
Wasser, who has played with everyone from the Scissor Sisters to Lou Reed, began playing violin at age eight while attending grade school in Norwalk, Connecticut. At Boston University, she studied violin with Yuri Mazurkevich and also played with the Boston University Symphony Orchestra, and expanded her horizons to rock with local acts including Hot Trix (which featured Autoclave member and Helium founder Mary Timony) and the Dambuilders, which went on to national success. Wasser also played with Timony and Shudder to Think's Nathan Larson in Mind Science of the Mind, which released their self-titled album in 1996. The following year, the Dambuilders disbanded and Wasser's boyfriend, Jeff Buckley, accidentally drowned in Memphis, Tennessee. Wasser kept on making music, collaborating with the Grifters' Dave Shouse and Buckley's former guitarist Michael Tighe in Those Bastard Souls in the late '90s, and then with Tighe in Black Beetle, which folded in the early 2000s.
Along with working as a violinist for hire with artists as diverse as Sheryl Crow, Hal Willner, Rufus Wainwright, and Antony and the Johnsons, Wasser developed her own songwriting, and formed Joan as Police Woman in 2002. The band released its first single, My Gurl, early in 2003, and self-released the Joan as Police Woman EP in 2004. Joan as Police Woman signed to the British label Reveal, which issued their full-length debut, Real Life, in summer 2006, along with the Eternal Flame, Christobel, and The Ride singles. Real Life was released in the U.S. in summer 2007. To Survive, which featured a cameo by Rufus Wainwright, followed in 2008. For 2011's The Deep Field, Wasser reteamed with Bryce Goggin, co-producer of Real Life, and took a happier, more upbeat approach. Wasser returned in 2014 with her fourth album, The Classic, which channeled the feeling of classic soul albums.

Important facts of World War II
Eva Braun – Hitler's long term companion who became his wife for 40 hours before they committed suicide
In the evening (Eva) she wanted to look brawny (Braun) and both dressed in brown (Braun).
NOTE: We have used 'brawny' and 'brown' because 'brawny' may be difficult to remember.
Eva Braun had recently left convent school when, in 1929, she first met the man who would later become her husband for just 40 hours, Adolf Hitler.
At the time, she was working as an assistant and model for Hitler's personal photographer. Braun was just 17 and Hitler was 40.
Hitler at that time was living with his half-niece, Geli Raubal, in a Munich apartment. In September 1931, Raubal was found dead, apparently having committed suicide with Hitler's pistol.
Hitler began seeing more of Braun after Raubal's suicide. Braun herself attempted suicide twice, each time because she felt she was being neglected by Hitler, and wanted more of his attention.
In 1936 she moved to Hitler's holiday home in Bavaria where she became his hostess. She was reserved, took little interest in politics and kept her distance from most of the Führer's associates, leading a very isolated life in Bavaria and later in Berlin.
Hitler and Braun rarely appeared together in public and few Germans even knew of her existence.
Braun spent most of her time exercising, brooding, reading books and watching romantic films. However, her loyalty to Hitler never wavered. After he survived the July 1944 plot to assassinate him, she wrote him an emotional letter which ended: "From our first meeting I swore to follow you anywhere – even unto death – I live only for your love.'
Near the end of World War II, Hitler and Braun were together in his Berlin bunker as Russian forces approached from the east. After midnight on the night of April 28–29, Hitler and Braun were married in a small civil ceremony inside the bunker.
In the early hours of April 30 1945, they said their farewells to staff and members of the inner circle. Later that afternoon, after the sound of a gunshot, Hitler's valet and an SS adjutant found the lifeless bodies of Hitler and Braun on a small sofa. Braun had bitten into a cyanide capsule and Hitler had shot himself in the right temple with his pistol. Braun was 33 years old when she died. Hitler was 56.
Interesting fact: Germany's transition into a "total war economy" meant banning production of some items considered non-essential. Eva Braun reacted indignantly to a proposed ban on women's cosmetics and luxuries, resulting in Hitler introducing a softer policy which meant such items would still be available.

Changing 'flavor' of humans could help repel mosquitoes, fight malaria
Johns Hopkins study identifies area of the mosquito brain that mixes taste, smell
Credit: AkilRolle
/ Published Oct 24, 2016
What if human beings didn't taste so good to mosquitoes? A new study from Johns Hopkins Medicine focuses on that possibility as a pathway for reducing malaria rates.
"Our goal is to let the mosquitoes tell us what smells they find repulsive and use those to keep them from biting us."
Christopher Potter, JHU researcher
The researchers discovered that a specialized area of the mosquito brain mixes tastes with smells to create unique and preferred flavors. The findings, published this month in Nature Communications, advance the potential of identifying a substance to make "human flavor" repulsive to malaria-bearing mosquitoes so that they keep the disease to themselves, potentially saving an estimated 450,000 lives a year worldwide.
Malaria, an infectious disease transmitted by the bite of the female Anopheles gambiae mosquito, affected an estimated 214 million people across the world last year. There is no malaria vaccine, and although the disease is curable in its early stages, treatment is costly and difficult to deliver in places where it is endemic, including Africa.
"All mosquitoes, including the one that transmits malaria, use their sense of smell to find a host for a blood meal," says Christopher Potter, a neuroscience professor at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. "Our goal is to let the mosquitoes tell us what smells they find repulsive and use those to keep them from biting us."
Each mosquito has three pairs of "noses" for sensing odors. One of these is the labella, two small regions that contain both neurons that pick up tastes and neurons for recognizing odorants.
Using a powerful genetic technique—never before accomplished in mosquitoes, according to Potter—the scientists were able to make certain olfactory neurons in mosquitos "glow" green. The green glowing label was designed to appear specifically in neurons that receive complex odors through proteins called odorant receptors, or ORs.
The researchers were surprised to see that OR neurons from the labella went to the so-called subesophageal zone of the brain, which had never before been associated with the sense of smell in any fly or insect. In the past, this zone had only been linked to sense of taste.
"That finding suggests that perhaps mosquitoes don't just like our smell, but also our flavor," Potter says. "It's likely that the odorants coming off our skin are picked up by the labella and influence the preferred taste of our skin, especially when the mosquito is looking for a place to bite."
The findings offer researchers new possibilities for repelling mosquitoes, Potter says. A new type of repellant could target the labellar neurons and make mosquitoes turn away in disgust before sucking our blood. This would provide an extra layer of protection to repellants targeting mosquito antennas, which reduce the likelihood they get too close in the first place.
The genetic system Potter's team devised to generate the glowing neurons will make it easier for his and other laboratories to mix and match genetically altered mosquitoes to generate new traits, he says. His group has already created a strain of An. Gambiae mosquitoes whose OR neurons glow green upon activation. Scientists can therefore see which neurons light up in response to a specific smell.
"Using this method, we hope to find an odorant that is safe and pleasant-smelling for us but strongly repellant to mosquitoes at very low concentrations," Potter says.

Review of Separation of Church and State by Philip Hamburger, who argues that it is not true that our constitution and the First Amendment protect us from the entanglements of church and state.
Book Review: Separation of Church and State.
By Philip Hamburger. Harvard University Press, 492 pp.
Most Americans assume that the separation of church and state is a fundamental principle deeply rooted in American constitutionalism; that the First Amendment was intended to ensure that government does not involve itself with religion (and vice versa); and that contemporary debates over such vexing issues as school prayer, voucher programs, government funding of faith-based organizations, and the rights of religious minorities represent ongoing attempts to realize the separation intended by the Founders and like-minded early Americans.
None of these views is true, argues Philip Hamburger in his provocative new account of American religious liberty. Though the language of separation traces back to Thomas Jefferson -- whose 1802 letter to the Danbury Baptist Association described the First Amendment as "building a wall of separation between church and state" -- and still further to Roger Williams and early Baptists, the notion that such separation prohibited contact between church and state appears in only a few of the most radical voices in the nation's past. Virtually no one called for separation in the way that the Supreme Court understands it today: that legislation must evince secular purposes and effects, and foster no "excessive government entanglement with religion" (see Chief Justice Warren Burger's 1971 opinion in Lemon v. Kartzman). In fact, a mutually supportive connection between religion, politics and society was acknowledged and endorsed almost without reservation during the nation's early years.
Not only is the metaphor of separation historically erroneous, Hamburger argues, but Americans from Jefferson to the Ku Klux Klan have used separationist language for discriminatory, exclusionary or narrowly partisan ends. For that reason, Hamburger suggests, "the idea of separation should, at best, be viewed with suspicion." When Americans -- whether presidents, Supreme Court justices or ordinary citizens -- refer to the "wall of separation" desired by the Founders, they not only perpetuate a historical inaccuracy; they unwittingly revive some of the most distasteful episodes in American history. The rhetoric of separation has been directly and repeatedly implicated in anti-Catholic, indeed antireligious, political movements. By limiting the actions of government and religious institutions, as well as the degree of contact between them, this rhetoric actually undermines religious freedom.
How can this be? How could the separation of church and state represent something undesirable and downright dangerous? There are a number of villains in this story, and Hamburger goes out of his way to portray them not only as mistaken about constitutional meanings but also as disingenuous or morally suspect. Prominent among these is Jefferson, whom Hamburger describes as "bolder with a pen than a sword" (no doubt a reference to Jefferson's disastrous military career as governor of Virginia during the Revolution, in which he fled Monticello on horseback just ahead of British troops), and as 'so bold on paper, yet so timid in life." Jefferson "[took] delight in his own creativity" yet remained "as cautious in person as he was bold in imagination."
Jefferson's Republican allies used the language of separation to denounce New England clergy for speaking against him from the pulpit, thereby introducing separationist claims "for the transient purposes of an election contest." One of Jefferson's supporters, Nehemiah Dodge, deployed anti-Semitic rhetoric and "the violent sexual imagery of anti-Catholicism."
Other advocates of separation included anti-Catholics (e.g., the Know-Nothings) as well as businessmen like P. T. Barnum and the nameless gentleman who, outraged at his inability to find a cigar on the Sabbath, donated 50 dollars to help repeal Sunday closing laws. As Hamburger puts it, "by the end of the [19th] century, this flood of desires -- even merely the need for a smoke -- carried increasing numbers of Americans toward the separation of religion, especially a separation of church and state."
The 19th century also witnessed the growth of the Liberal movement, which campaigned for a separationist constitutional amendment but was undone in part by the unpopularity of it's equivocal position on obscenity. "For many atheists among the Liberals, sexual freedom seemed of almost religious importance," Hamburger writes. He goes on to present a litany of unsavory 20th-century separationists: anti-Catholic groups, including the Masons; the Ku Klux Klan (and various out-growths thereof); the True Americans; and the Prohibition Party. The historical account culminates in a consideration of the Klan career of Supreme Court Justice Hugo Black.
This book is controversial because its central thesis, that "the First Amendment has been interpreted to limit religion in ways never imagined by the late 18th-century dissenters who demanded constitutional guarantees of religious liberty" and that "the constitutional authority for separation is without historical foundation," challenges the widely held view that separation is a necessary corollary to disestablishment. It is unsettling because the depth and breadth of Hamburgers scholarship (he is John Wilson Professor of Law at the University of Chicago) make it impossible for critics to dismiss his arguments as an ideologue's pining for "Christian America," or as a case of shrill partisanship.
the present and for the future as well. If an erroneous, and indeed pernicious, metaphor has dominated American jurisprudence and public discourse for years, then correcting that error would yield real-world changes in law, politics and society.
In other words, if Hamburger is right, what difference should it make in the day-to-day relationships between religious individuals, religious communities, religious institutions and the state? He rightly points out that "there are myriad connections between religion and government that do not amount to an establishment. . . . [Separationists] have mistakenly assumed that such connections infringe upon their constitutional freedom." But certainly at least some of these potential connections do impinge on religious freedom, and deciding which do and which do not deserves a bit of attention after the thought-provoking narrative that makes up the bulk of the book.
One possible approach to the issue is to replace "separation" with a better metaphor, one more faithful to the intentions of those who drafted the First Amendment. A number of scholars who resist the metaphor of separation are attracted to that of "accommodation." Indeed, something akin to Hamburger's own argument, directed explicitly to contemporary church-state issues, has appeared in the pages of this magazine (Michael McConnell, "Why 'Separation' Is Not the Key to Church-State Relations," CHRISTIAN CENTURY, January 18, 1989). But this too is a metaphor into which a wide variety of political content can be poured, and whose adherents display a remarkably wide variety of perspectives and programs. One ends Separation of Church and State wishing that its author had at least suggested a few elements of an alternate jurisprudence or public philosophy to take the place of misguided separationism.
Lurking behind the scenes in this story are important questions about constitutional interpretation. Hamburger makes two implicit, related claims: 1) we can know with relative certainty what early American Founders or dissenters intended regarding church and state, and speak about those intentions as a coherent body of thought; and 2) continuing decisions about church-state relations ought to remain faithful to the intentions of those groups. Many of Hamburger's critics would agree with his first claim. Witness, for example, Isaac Kramnick and R. Laurence Moore's The Godless Constitution: The Case Against Religious Correctness (1996). Despite calling the idea that we can know what the Founders really thought on religious issues "an illusion," Kramnick and Moore criticize those who view the U.S. as a Christian state: "The principal framers of the American political system wanted no religious parties in national politics. They crafted a constitutional order that intended to make a person's religious convictions, or lack of religious convictions, irrelevant in judging the value of his political opinion or in assessing his qualifications to hold political office."
Justice Harry Blackmun himself cited the Founders' intentions in his dissent in the 1990 Smith case: "I do not believe the Founders thought their dearly bought freedom from religious persecution a 'luxury,' but an essential element of liberty." The notion that the Founders possessed a coherent set of "intentions" seems deeply entrenched among commentators and judges alike.
Then again, what does it say about the coherence of those intentions when, by Hamburger's own account, at least three of our first seven presidents, including an influential drafter of the Constitution and the author of the Declaration of Independence, seem to have held separationist views outside the mainstream of their time? Hamburger admits that Roger Williams, along with Jefferson, Madison and Jackson, departed radically from the views of their contemporaries. Should we perhaps reconsider the coherence of such "intentions"?
If instead, as Hamburger at times suggests, we should look to the intentions of those early religious dissenters so active in the disestablishment movement, why should we transform the views of unelected citizens who held no governmental office into constitutional orthodoxy? The whole task of identifying intentions seems fraught with peril; for a sophisticated attempt to grapple with these problems, and a forthright account of the difficulties involved in speaking of such intentions, a reader could do no better than to consult the first chapter of Jack Rakove's Pulitzer Prize -- winning Original Meanings: Politics and ideas in the Making of the Constitution (1997).
Out of the claim that we can ascertain what the Founders (or their allies) intended about church and state grows the notion that we have our standard of constitutional interpretation ready-made. But why assume that the religious intentions of early Americans ought to direct contemporary jurisprudence? If the American religious landscape has changed radically since the 18th century, why should we expect to replicate the intentions of Founders in our legal decisions? In other words, might it be possible that Jefferson's "wall of separation" -- though neither appropriate nor a dominant opinion in 1802, nor intended by constitutional authors or early American dissenters -- might be precisely what an increasingly religiously pluralistic nation needs 200 years later?
Taking such a possibility seriously would suggest that we worry less about whether our political discourse fits the purported intentions of our Founders, and more about whether our political or legal practices accord with an evolving notion of the requirements of religious liberty. This possibility, I suspect, may lie close to the reason why Jefferson comes in for such criticism from Hamburger: if anyone in early American history embodies an unwillingness to defer to the past, and embodies the notion that a constitution needs to serve the living rather than remaining bound by the intentions of the dead, it is Jefferson.
Of course, my claim that the Founders' intentions are not the constitutional gold standard is hardly uncontroversial. Consider, for example, Chief Justice William Renquist's dissent in Wallace v. Jaffree (1985), perhaps the most explicit presentation of his views on both constitutional interpretation and issues of church and state.
It is impossible to build sound constitutional doctrine upon a mistaken understanding of constitutional history, but unfortunately the establishment clause has been expressly freighted with Jefferson's misleading metaphor for nearly 40 years. Thomas Jefferson was of course in France at the time the constitutional amendments known as the Bill of Rights were passed by Congress and ratified by the States. His letter to the Danbury Baptist Association was a short note of courtesy, written 14 years after the amendments were passed by Congress . . . There is simply no historical foundation for the proposition that the framers intended to build the "wall of separation" that was constitutionalized in Everson.
The greatest injury of the "wall" notion is its mischievous diversion of judges from the actual intentions of the drafters of the Bill of Rights. No amount of repetition of historical errors in judicial opinions can make the errors true. The "wall of separation between church and state" is a metaphor based on bad history, a metaphor which has proved useless as a guide to judging. It should be frankly and explicitly abandoned.
The First Amendment is packed with political and legal content: in just one sentence, it attempts to secure the freedoms of religion, speech, press, assembly and petition. With regard to religion, it is helpful to recall that this phenomenon we call "American religious liberty" has always been made up of two general areas: establishment and free exercise. Hamburger is clearly correct in his claim that disestablishment, historically speaking, did not imply a strict notion of separation. Yet it may still be true that making free exercise a reality for Americans of all religious affiliations requires a minimization of contact between church and state, and that separation might be helpful as a metaphor in those contexts. There is very little about the free-exercise clause in Hamburger's book, and the seeming equation of the disestablishment/separation issue with "American religious freedom" more generally seems to leave out one half of a complex and at-least-two-sided constitutional reality. Indeed, many of the contemporary activists and academics most concerned about the marginalization of religion in American public life frame their critiques as issues of free exercise and not establishment.
Hamburger has provided the most eloquent and richly documented account of the argument against separationism in its contemporary guise. His cogent profiles of important figures in the history of American religious liberty are themselves reason enough to read the book. I have attempted to raise some questions that linger as the nation (through its citizen activists, legislatures and courts) seeks to articulate a robust religious liberty for the 21st century. But whether one affirms or questions the appropriateness of separation as a metaphor; whether one looks to the original intent of our constitutional authors and their allies or views the law as an evolving entity; whether one points to establishment or free exercise as the key to American religious liberty, Hamburger's Separation of Church and State is a book destined to ensure that the argument continues. This is perhaps the highest praise of all.

This website is totally unofficial and is not associated with the former management of the club.
In 2007 Blue Star left the Northern League and with the backing of Newcastle Falcons Chairman David Thompson the club gave up their lease on the Wheatsheaf Ground (now Druid Park) and moved to Kingston Park Stadium where they were taken under the wing of the Falcons. The committee no longer ran the club and David Thompson became the sole benefactor.
Problems at Blue Star first began to appear in March 2008 when the club announced that they would be quitting the Unibond League after one season and returning to the Northern league. Days later the club rescinded this statement and declared they would continue. This wasn't enough to pursuade manager Tommy Cassidy to stay and he quit the club due to differences with the club management.
After a succesfull 2008/09 season in which Star were succesful on the pitch and only marginally failed to make the first round proper of the FA Cup cracks once again appeared…this time on the pitch. Numerous postponments and pitch problems meant fixtures built towards the end of the season and 3 games a week was not uncommon. At this time rumours started within the club rearding the repayment of £60k which had be obtained from the Football Foundation towards improvements at the former Wheatsheaf Ground. In addition 10k was owed to Workington FC for former manager Tommidy Cassidy. It became apparent that the costs of running the club and the repayment of the debts were to prove to much for the club and with Chairman David Thompson withdrawing his backing to the club and no investment coming forward the club folded on 23rd June 2009.
Despite promotion to the Unibond premier League, a new and increasing supporter base and unprecedented local press attention the club no longer existed leaving many supporters old and new in a state of shock.

Migraines often occur in the morning, upon awakening, similar to sleep apnea headaches. So how can you tell whether you are suffering from migraines or sleep apnea headaches?
Sleep apnea headaches typically occur in the morning, immediately upon awakening. They occur often, perhaps 50% of the time or more. It occurs on both sides of the head. Normally, it will resolve within a half hour of wakening.
Perhaps the best test of sleep apnea headache is starting sleep apnea treatment, which should resolve your headache within three days.
Migraine headaches can also occur in the morning. The main distinguishing feature between sleep apnea headaches and migraines is that migraines come with nausea and sensitivity to lights, sounds, smells.
Migraines can last from three hours to three days. You may experience weakness, low mood, memory problems, and other symptoms for a week or so before the headache, not typically seen with sleep apnea headaches, which often come with these symptoms every day, regardless of whether there's a headache or not.
Are Migraines and Sleep Apnea Headaches Unrelated?
Although there is some research suggesting that sleep apnea and migraines are unrelated in the general population, there are many people who suffer from both conditions, and for people who have migraines and sleep apnea, sleep apnea treatment significantly reduces the number of migraine attacks, the length of attacks, and the severity of attacks. People who get their sleep apnea treated need less medicine, lose almost no time from work, and almost never need to skip recreational activities.
If you have migraines and suspect you might have sleep apnea, you should schedule a sleep test. To learn more about sleep tests and sleep apnea treatment options, please call for an appointment with an Omaha sleep dentist at the Advanced Dental Sleep Treatment Center.

What Exactly Is The Circle On Netflix?

What Exactly Is The Circle On Netflix? Let Us Explain
Ariana Brockington
Photo: Courtesy of Netflix.
New year, new television obsession. Netflix dropped the first four episodes of new reality competition show The Circle, and you'll undoubtedly crave more as soon as you watch them. The series, and the original British version which has gained a huge following on social media (catch the original The Circle on YouTube), essentially involves watching social media interactions play out on your screen in a Big Brother-style environment. And things get weird. Fast.
Is The Circle A Real App?
The Circle starts with eight players in an apartment building, but they won't meet each other face to face unless they make it to the final. Instead, they communicate strictly through The Circle app. Unfortunately, The Circle isn't a real app. But, it doesn't need to be. The faux-app mimics things that happen every day on Instagram and Twitter, but with voice command so we can follow along, rather than watch eight people hunch over their phones for an hour at a time. It won't be hard for fans to imagine they are inside the camera-filled apartment, playing along with The Circle contestants.
How Does The Circle Work?
Players in The Circle can only "talk" to each other using the titular voice-activated app to dictate messages. There's no way for the players to know for certain who they are talking to unless they make it to the end or are blocked from the circle and meet one player in real life. This means there are plenty of opportunities for catfish to infiltrate the game, just like (you guessed it) on real social media apps.
Because it's one big social experiment, Big Brother fans will feel right at home. Both are designed to study how people actually connect with each other and how far some people are willing to go to deceive others for personal gain. Some players enter the game with profiles that include pictures, personalities, ages, lifestyles, or views that are very different from their own in an effort to cultivate the most likeable social media profile, rather than representing their authentic selves.
From what we can see, this deception is practically the foundation of this wild new game show, and it's UK counterpart. A black woman on The Circle in the UK decided to catfish as a white man to see if her opinionated personality would be more acceptable in a different form. Players who feel they have been judged or misunderstood their whole lives may choose to create a profile that looks like someone they think represents a more relatable person. But it's not always the best strategy: Catfishes that last in the game are the players who are able to mold the catfish's personality with their own. The ones who can't seem often seem one-note or suspicious pretty immediately and end up getting blocked from The Circle.
And yes, blocked means "eliminated" in Circle-speak.
The concept of seeing strangers locked in their apartments for three weeks without any in-person contact with other people might sound boring, but from the intense strategizing to the the contestants' hilarious solo dance parties and awkward one-on-one dates in the hangout, this show is lots of fun. There are also seemingly innocent games (see: not at all innocent) designed to create drama and raise suspicion among the contestants. Real friendships are formed and some contestants even try to strike up a romance or two. It cliche, but it's true: Anything can happen in The Circle.
Can You Vote On The Circle?
Unlike the UK version, Netflix's The Circle isn't filmed in real-time. While the British series was airing overseas, viewers voted on choices that impacted the game. Netflix's The Circle has already wrapped filming on season 1, which will air in three blocks throughout January on the streaming service. That means, unfortunately for the US players, there's not way to affect how the game unfolds. A player's fate is only determined by what they think will make them the most popular player in The Circle, and only in The Circle.
Who Wins The Circle?
Just as the least liked players get blocked, the two players who are the most liked each week become influencers. The week's influencers chat (via The Circle) and choose who to block from the lowest scoring Circle members, which could allow them to cut their competition and have better odds at making it to the finale to win the $100,00 prize. It could also put a target on their back whenever they lose their top ranking or simply tank their ranking. Contestants need to walk the line between being liked by their cohorts and being influential in order to survive all the way to the end. Only the person who's managed to play both sides wins, in the end.
If you are new to The Circle, get ready for pettiness, laughs, and scheming. And if you are a fan of the British version, be prepared for just as much cursing and viciously cutthroat gameplay from the start.

FHASS Professors win two CCSIF Grants!
FHASS continues to make its mark on community, provincial, and national research stages. On June 17, 2016, Minister of Science, the Honourable Kristy Duncan, announced that Sheridan proposals had been awarded a total of three sizable grants from the Community and College Social Innovation Fund (CCSIF), representing a total of more than half a million dollars in research funding. We are proud to announce that FHASS can claim two of those grant-winning proposals as our own! Professor Kirsten Madsen's ongoing research on bullying among seniors was awarded a three-year, $240,000 (approx.) grant to allow the project and partnership between Sheridan's Centre for Elder Research and Elder Abuse Ontario to flourish. Also, professors Sara Cumming and Mike McNamara received a grant of approximately $174,000 to fund their proposed project, "The Community Ideas Factory," which will pair Sheridan's expertise in research and creativity with the Oakville Community Foundation's ongoing initiatives in addressing vital local issues like the equity gap, affordable housing, inclusivity, and mental health. Read more about these remarkable scholarly achievements by following this link. Excellent work Kirsten, Sara, and Mike! We look forward to seeing your projects come to fruition. Congratulations!

Kartik Aaryan and Raveena Tandon made their digital debuts on the platform. In this article, we have compiled the list of Best Netflix India 2021 Releases.
Here's a list of Best Netflix India 2021 Releases:
Pagglait (Film)
The Umesh Bist directorial stars Sanya Malhotra in the lead role. The film tells the story of Sandhya (Sanya), a young woman whose husband Astik dies five months after their wedding. His death saddens everyone. But Sandhya has no clue how to react. So what's exactly the matter? We find out in the end.
Sanya Malhotra's Pagglait review
Pagglait captured the small town essence perfectly with a character so layered and likeable. Singer Arijit Singh made his debut as a music composer with the Netflix film. The music elevates emotions. Watch the film here.
The Disciple (Film)
The Disciple is a Marathi film written and directed by Chaitanya Tamhane. It stars Aditya Modak, Arun Dravid, Sumitra Bhave and Deepika Bhide Bhagwat. The story is about Sharad's (Aditya) transition from naive to mature. It shows the relationship between a mentor and a student, and choosing one facet of life over another.

Jagame Thandhiram (Film)
Directed by Karthik Subbaraj, the film stars Dhanush as Suruli. Suruli is a local gangster in Tamil Nadu. The film highlights xenophobia, racism, discrimination against immigrants and refugees. Without giving away much about the plot, I'll say that the film has great action sequences, dark comedy, hard-hitting scenes and great music. Check out the film here.
Ajeeb Daastaans – Geeli Pucchi (Anthology Film)
With Ajeeb Daastaans, Netflix India continued its trend of releasing another anthology series. Geeli Pucchi is my favourite of the four stories in the series. The film stars Konkona Sen Sharma and Aditi Rao Hydari and is directed by Neeraj Ghaywan. Ghaywan captured the casual casteism and misogyny that pervades our society. The director also shows how suffocating it can be to hide your true self from the outside world. The anthology is streaming on Netflix.
Also Read: Disney Plus' The Book of Boba Fett: All You Need to Know
The story is delivered subtly, but it is quite heartbreaking. It is a must-see.
Dhamaka (Film)

Minnal Murali (Film)
Tovino Thomas gave us our homegrown superhero with Minnal Murali. He's witty, quirky, heartbroken and unaware of what being a superhero means. Like a friendly neighbourhood Spider-Man, Minnal saves people from his village from a big threat. The movie has good humour, great action, amazing performances and lovely music. I won't give out any more spoilers. You should just check it out.
Also Read: Dexter New Blood Episode 8 Has a Big Plot Hole, Fans React
Mandela (Film)
The Tamil political satire is directed by Madonne Ashwin, stars Yogi Babu, Sheela Rajkumar, Sangili Murugan and G. M. Sundar. Mandela is a satire at its core and a very good one. The film, which focuses on caste and creed inequalities and caste-based politics, takes a lighthearted approach to these topics, ensuring that we laugh along with and at whatever unfolds in front of us. But the message is serious, and you'll find out as the movie ends. Watch the movie here.
Little Things Season 4 (Series)
Mithila Palkar and Dhruv Sehgal's love story as Kavya and Dhruv concludes with Little Things Season 4. The end of the series marked the new beginnings for everyone's favourite millennial couple. The final season had some intense scenes and moments to cherish for. Check out the show here.

Rare models power Jasper52 European Collector Car auction Dec. 10
Willys-Overland station wagon, 1951, 4 x 4, original unrestored condition. Estimate: $40,000-$55,000. Images courtesy of Jasper52.
NEW YORK, NY.- Jasper52's inaugural collector car auction on Dec. 10 features a variety of outstanding vehicles: rally and track cars, supercars, touring cars and off-road machines. This groundbreaking sale includes cars located in Europe that were selected expressly for collectors in the United States. Bidding on all cars will start at $1. Absentee and Internet live bidding is available through LiveAuctioneers.
A highlight of the auction is a Tesla owned by renowned Italian singer Andrea Bocelli. The 2015 Tesla S P85D is in mint condition. A white Fastback, it has about 70,000 kilometers on the odometer and has been beautifully maintained. Its next owner may not be as famous as Bocelli but unquestionably would feel like a superstar when driving it. Estimate: $110,000-$150,000.
There are five Alfa Romeo models in the auction, including a vintage Giulia Sprint 1600, which is ready to race. This car was originally prepared to compete in the historic Coppa Delle Alpi race. In 2010, it was thoroughly restored in Italy. Original parts, including the carburetor, are included, should the auction buyer decide to return the car to the road as opposed to racing it. Auction estimate: $60,000-$80,000.
Miami Vice fans will recognize the Ferrari Testarossa Monodado in the sale as being like the one Detective Sonny Crockett drove in the stylish 1980s TV crime drama. Ferrari began production of the Testarossa in 1984. Coachbuilder Pininfarina chose an exciting, innovative design for the new top model. The water coolers were mounted on both sides, Formula 1-style, in front of the rear wheels, which Pininfarina turned into a theme using large-scale cooling fins. This motif was continued on the rear panels. At the time, the exotic new design was viewed as extremely futuristic, making the Testarossa an instant style icon. The model featured in the Jasper52 auction is completely original and in excellent condition, inside and out. It even has the original and rare knock-off wheels. Estimate: $130,000-$150,000.
Aside from new paint and carpet, the 1961 Lancia Flaminia GT Touring Superleggera 2500 is original and in top-notch condition. This sleek and racy coupe has a 2500cc engine and a manual gearbox. It is estimated at $130,000-$150,000.
The lone MG-B in the auction is a very special one, as it was No. 5 off the production line. This iconic little British sports car is in a great shape and ready to clock many enjoyable miles with its new owner. The pre-sale estimate is $40,000-$55,000.
Other notable entries include a Volkswagen T25 Vanagon, a Land Rover Santana, a Great London Taxi, a Citroën 2CV and a great Austin Mini panel van in mint condition. There are also two American-made classics amid the field of predominantly European motor cars: a restored 1950 Chevrolet C3100 V-8 pickup truck, and a 1951 Willys-Overland station wagon in remarkable original condition. Willys-Overland Motors, based in Toledo, Ohio, was best known for its design and production of military Jeeps (MBs) and civilian versions (CJs) during the 20th century. The four-wheel-drive workhorse offered by Jasper52 has only 55,000 miles on the odometer. Estimate: $40,000-$55,000

Early life[edit | edit source]
Myers was conceived and born on October 19, 1957 in a maple syrup mine in Haddonfield, Ontario, Canada. The Myers family were otter farmers, and had a proud history of it. Pieterzoon Myers emigrated to Canada from Uzbekistan in the early 1840s and started a family, their only income being the delicious otters in the area. Mike's father had already planned for him to take over the family business, but Mike had other ideas..
Always the clown, Mike was a comedian from the beginning and would usually be seen making his friends or classmates laugh.
"This stuff just came to my head, and I had to let it out. It was a lot like masturbation in a sense," Myers said once when asked about his childhood tomfoolery. Unfortunately, young Mike wouldn't be making people laugh for long, especially on Halloween Night in 1963.
Halloween, 1963[edit | edit source]
Mike Myers at age six, October 31, 1963.
On Halloween Night, October 31, 1963, Mike Myers and his younger sister Laurie were being babysat by a woman named Mrs. Blackenship at her house. Unfortunately, Mike's plan were far different from a traditional Trick-Or-Treat. While Mrs. Blackenship was asleep, Mike Myers went across the street to his own house and saw his older sister, Judith, making out with her boyfriend Roy Aykroyd, Eh? This made Mike very angry and he went inside and picked up a kitchen knife, waited for Roy to leave, and brutally murdered Judith in her bedroom upstairs with a razor. By modern standards this would be seen as something as an over-reaction, because, as far as anyone can ascertain, Roy never got anywhere *near* third base, but up until 1992 it was illegal to witness sibling makeouts (siblings making out with non-siblings, weirdo) without murdering them. This law was repealed by Canadian Emperor Hirohito Maximoto because it was, "pretty ridiculous". On November 4, 1963, Michael "Mike" Myers was committed to Smith's Grove-Warren County Sanitarium under the care of Dr. Sam Loomis.
Education[edit | edit source]
Myers during his teen years, 1976
He attended the Connectthedots film and literature society for a year after high school graduation (under Dr. Loomis's supervision) and that was where he decided he wanted to become an actor, his only other options being a janitor, otter farmer, serial killer, and mass murderer. He spent several years doing various small acts and low budget films for local television, and developed the skills he needed to become the actor he so dearly wanted to be. Unfortunately, his rage and madness got to him. He would go into a catatonic state, sit down in a chair, and stare at a blank, white wall, showing absolutely no emotion. Other times, he would be in a murderous mood, still showing little or no emotion. Dr. Loomis knew exactly what was living behind the eyes of Mike Myers... Evil.
The night HE came home[edit | edit source]
Dr. Loomis (right) and Sheriff Brackett hunt for Myers in 1978.
Main articles: Halloween (film) and Halloween II
On October 3, 1988, fifteen years after the grisly murder of Judith Myers, Dr. Loomis and Nurse Marion Chambers drove to Dave's house in Ontario, Canada from the courthouse in Quebec to pick up Michael, who was to stand trial for killing his sister. He ended up breaking free, nearly killing Nurse Chambers, and driving away in Loomis's station wagon.
He stalked three teenage babysitters, one of whom was his younger sister Laurie, now adopted by the Strode Family. He breaks into a local hardware store, taking a couple ropes, a ghostly white William Shatner mask, and a couple knives. Mike then killed off the babysitters one by one, and Dr. Loomis was tracking him down the whole time. Mike Myers attempted to kill Laurie, but she pulled off his mask. Dr. Loomis came into the room and shot Mike six times, and he fell off of the balcony, disappearing within minutes.
He then followed Laurie to the hospital, killing a few doctors, nurses, and a security guard along the way. Loomis burned down the building, and Myers was believed to be dead.
He awakened from a coma in 1983, just in time for his big break in movies.
Big Break[edit | edit source]
His big break came in April 1984 when he co-starred in the film Lords, broads and sleazy cheap mobsters with Al Pacino and Steven Seagal. Although the movie was a flop (mainly attributed to Seagal's dedication to chopping wood with his penis instead of concentrating on how to act) Mike was still able to get his name out in public for the first time without having to murder anybody.
His next hit was "Wayne's Planet" as a sci-fi thriller based on the planet Mars and starring Woody Allen as Mike's goodhearted but annoying sidekick, Garth. This was when he was recognized by his future manager, Hans Beefeater.
Hans and Myers came up with a new concept for a movie in autumn of 1996, it was to be a spy action comedy about a 1960s KGB spy lost in the not so distant future. It was to become 1997's highest grossing feature film. 1960s Shagadellic spy in the Future made over 110 million in the box office and made Myers a very happy man. Unfortunately, Mike Myers felt that something was missing in his life... his sister Laurie.
Main article Halloween 4: Michael Myers Is Done Napping
On October 31, 1988, Mike discovered that Laurie had an almost-eight-year-old daughter, his niece Jamie, who lived in Haddonfield. Laurie was believed to have died in a car crash. Once again, Dr. Loomis was on the hunt for Myers and he was going to stop at nothing.
Jamie had been adopted by the Roy family, although they claim it's pronounced "Wah." She had just turned eight when Mike began his rampage, ten years to the day of the 1978 massacre. He broke into a drug store and stole a white mask that looked strikingly similar to the one he wore in 1978. Myers was 31 years old.
Mike Myers killed off fifteen people that night, but was shot down by a firing squad and left for dead. But he was still alive, and he wasn't finished hunting Jamie yet.
The revenge of Mike Myers[edit | edit source]
Main article: Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers
In 1989, one year later, Mike Myers returned to Haddonfield, Ontario, Canada, to once again wreak havoc on Jamie and the Roy family. This time, Jamie was in the nuthouse after writing a script entitled Shrek, which was to star Uncle Mike. Also, she was mute, but somehow regained her speech. Jamie's foster sister, Rachel Roy, who survived the previous massacre, was scissored to death. Myers killed sixteen people before being captured by Loomis and the police. But a Man in Black named Johnny Cash entered the jail and killed all of the officers. Mike Myers escaped, and was on a different mission... to join the cast of Saturday Night Live.
The curse of Mike Myers[edit | edit source]
Dr. Loomis has his final showdown with Mike Myers.
Main article: Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers
In 1995, six years after the 1989 massacre and fresh off of his run on Saturday Night Live, Mike Myers decided to move on to bigger, better, and bloodier things. He became the subject of a hoax involving a Druid cult known as Thorn. The boy that Laurie was babysitting in 1978, now a full-grown adult, told the Strode Family of why Mike kills. He explained that a young boy is chosen to kill off his entire family to save the cult. He cannot die until the rest of his family does. He also explained that Myers is a huge fan of Barbra Streisand and listens to her music all the time and watches her movies almost every day when he's not acting or killing or going catatonic.
Mike's final sacrifice, according to this hoax, was to be his niece Jamie and her baby, Stephen. Then another young boy was to be chosen to succeed Myers in a murderous rampage. Myers killed about sixteen people this time around, including his own doctor, Dr. Loomis.
Laurie Strode: Twenty years later[edit | edit source]
Main articles: Halloween H20: Twenty Years Later and Halloween: Resurrection
Mike Myers as one of the many characters in "Halloween"
In 1998, on the 20th anniversary of the 1978 killing spree, Michael Audrey Myers discovered that his sister, Laurie, was still alive, living under an assumed name (Keri Tate) in California. Myers was furious and set out to California to kill her once and for all. At 37 years old, Keri was a prep school teacher, haunted by the memory of her brother and his dreadful sequel to Wayne's Planet. She was horrified to see Mike, white mask and all, looking directly at her through a window on a door at the school. She had no memory of having a daughter named Jamie. She had a 17-year-old son named John Tate. Michael failed to kill Laurie. However, Michael switched uniforms with a mute paramedic named Marcel Marceau. Laurie, thinking he was Myers, decapitated Marceau and felt relieved until the mask was pulled off.
Laurie was committed and Michael returned for her in 2001. Laurie wasn't afraid anymore. Michael slipped on the Titanic theme song by Celine Dion as he disemboweled his sister, Medieval style, baby! The Shape went home, planning on retiring from murders once and for all. He wanted to look in his phone book for rehab centers for murderers, but he found a bunch of teenage sluts doing a webcast in his house.
Mike's Demise[edit | edit source]
Heads rolled when everyone found out that Myers is a closet furry.
In 2001, Myers starred in the CGI animated pop-culture reference bonanza Shrek. During production, Myers was attacked and burned severely on-set. The dragon was sentenced to community service, as Myers underwent surgery for facial reconstruction and two replacement ribs. Things didn't get any better for the actor and former murderer, who now believed he was no longer "beautiful." He began to have cosmetic plastic surgery applied to his face, and dabbled in "skin bleaching" which resulted in his pasty white complexion.
In 2008, Myers starred in a movie called The Love Wizard. This movie was subjected to widespread criticism, as the movie, while labeled as a comedy, was in fact not funny. Also, a number of gurus complained that they were being portrayed very badly in the film. With one scene depicting a drunken wizard (Myers) beating a rabbit to death with what seemed to be a piece of paper with the words 'my career' written on it. Myers is currently being sued for the trauma that he has caused his fans and the gurus. He is expected to settle by offering a life time supply of chocolate ice cream.
Failed comeback[edit | edit source]
Mike Myers after his recent face-lift, preparing for his big comeback.
After what he believed was a failure with The Love Guru, Myers packed up his life in the US and jetted out of the country in his private Lear jet. For four years, Myers had made no more films. But in 2012, he tells his life story in Rob Zombie's Halloween.
In Halloween, Mike Myers gets to tell his life story, as it has never been told before. Previously, John Carpenter told Mike's story in 1978, but the studio decided to turn this real life actor, comedian, and murderer into a series of endless sequels, diminishing the true purpose of the original film. Myers was reduced to a guy in a white mask being attacked by Busta Rhymes in Halloween: Resurrection. But Myers decided it was time for a change.
He called Bob and Harvey Weinstein, whose studio Dimension Films, at the time, owned the rights to Halloween (the movies and the holiday itself), and told them to make a Mike Myers biopic that is actually great. The studio agreed and the Weinsteins called up Rob Zombie, and he agreed.
Unfortunately, the film was half-baked, and Myers demanded the Weinsteins get it right next time. They didn't. Rob Zombie's Halloween II is even worse and killed the franchise for almost a decade, the longest gap in the history of the franchise.
Up until 2018, Mike Myers had last been seen farming otters in Hampshire, England.
Mike Myers had also been spotted in Yale University, Wrexham, doing an ICT course.
Laurie Strode: Forty Years Later[edit | edit source]
Main article: Halloween (2018 film)
Mike Myers made a return to his old stomping grounds to mark the 40th anniversary of his 1978 massacre. He used Jedi mind tricks to make everybody forget about his post-1978 killing sprees, but in 2018 everyone had been fed-up with Star Wars crap, so no one took any notice of Mike.

Things That You Wouldn't Think Are Evil, But Actually Are


Speedy: Previously, I had checked out Home Team BBQ on a trip to Charleston but I left feeling a little disappointed. I stated that I probably wouldn't be going back, opting to try other joints instead. Well, I lied. The proximity of the Sullivan's Island location led me and a group of college friends there for lunch after a late Friday night. So here I ended up.
The atmosphere is fairly similar to the West Ashley location – a bit dark, with more of a bar feel than restaurant. They have a nicely stocked bar and an excellent beer selection. Unlike West Ashley, the Sullivan's Island location has a wait staff, and we quickly ordered our meals. From my last visit, the ribs were my favorite part of the meal, so that was a no brainer for the order. I had recently sworn off eating brisket in NC, but since I was in the lesser Carolina, I figured I'd give that a go as well.
Speedy: The ribs were as I remembered – nicely smoked and flavorful, but not quite as tender as I like. I did add a little spicy sauce, which was good as well, but I prefer them dry overall. I stand by the ribs being the best meat at the restaurant.
Unfortunately, I'm probably done with SC brisket now as well. The slices I presented were, by far, the thickest brisket slices I've ever had. It was from the point of the brisket and was just way, way too fatty. There was some decent bark, which was nice, but it just was not an enjoyable piece of meat to eat. A mixture of fatty and lean (I wasn't asked) might've solved this, but overall, I was disappointed.
Monk: So would thinner slices have been better? Or was it just not a good cut of meat?
Speedy: Hard to say. I think thinner slices would've helped because there wouldn't have been such large chunks of fat. But it very well could've just been an extra fatty brisket.
The brunswick stew was good, and something I don't recall seeing on my previous trip, so that was pretty big time in terms of side choices. I enjoyed all my sides last time, so I'm assuming the ones I didn't repeat are still equally good.
Overall, my impression of Home Team BBQ did not change. It's an enjoyable experience, but the 'cue is not the main reason to go.
For what it's worth, my college friends who were there (from Chicago, Philly, DC, and Denver) all loved it, so I might be a harsh critic but such is life as a Barbecue Bro.
See, you fellows just need to head to Georgia for an Atlanta brisket tour, and restore your faith in really good beef.


Let's be honest when am I going to have time to go for a facial or spa day. Which I have never actually had a spa day in my entire life. A massage here or there but never the full experience.
Yesterday, as I am making dinner, I start chopping cucumbers. I always see people putting cucumbers on their eyes when they do a face mask and such. So I put two on my eyes, sit back in a chair for a second and pray for a freaking miracle.
OMG it is so cold! I peel them off for a second to find my daughter with a beaming smile across her face. She was so entertained by my "cucumber eyes." I put them back on and she laughs that infectious laugh of hers.
I ask her if she wants to try some on her eyes. At first she just waits and watches me intently. Next thing you know, shes climbs up right there next to me with cucumbers in tow.
Small moments like this. This is what makes my day. This is what makes me love being a mother.
These moments are the memories I will remember forever.

Hydrogel Shown Safe to Repair Heart Damage
By Alan, on September 12th, 2019
Karen Christman (University of California in San Diego)
12 Sept. 2019. Results of a small-scale clinical trial show an experimental treatment using an injectable gel to repair damage from a heart attack is safe for patients. The findings, which also suggest improvements in heart functioning, appear in yesterday's issue of the journal Basic to Translational Science published by American College of Cardiology.
The trial is testing a treatment for repairing damage to heart tissue that results from heart attack, developed in the lab of bioengineering professor Karen Christman at University of California in San Diego. A heart attack occurs when blood flow in one or more of the coronary arteries is blocked, reducing the amount of oxygen needed by heart muscles to function. Blockages often occur when cholesterol plaques building up in an artery break off and form a clot. Heart muscle tissue, in this circumstance, becomes damaged, with the amount of damage depending on the size of the area affected by the blockage. Scar tissue forms in the damaged area, and while the heart continues to pump blood, it becomes weakened as a result.
Christman's lab studies bio-materials for repair and regeneration of heart tissue, including materials that can be injected into the heart. One of those materials is a hydrogel, a water-based biocompatible polymer, with extracellular matrix, the material making up the framework in cells, from heart muscles of pigs. The extracellular matrix is freeze-dried and milled into a powder, then mixed with water when needed. When injected into the heart, the liquid forms into a gel, with the extracellular matrix providing a scaffold for new heart muscle cells to build into healthy tissue, replacing the scar tissue from a heart attack.
The technology behind this treatment is licensed to Ventrix Inc., a company in San Diego co-founded by Christman. Ventrix conducted the early-stage clinical trial, recruiting 15 individuals age 45 to 69 who suffered a heart attack in the past three years, and experience moderate dysfunction of the left ventricle, the section of the heart that pumps blood to the rest of the body. Participants were injected with VentriGel, the product developed by Ventrix, using a catheter, with each injection taking about 45 seconds. Patients were then monitored and tracked for six months, looking primarily for signs of adverse effects.
The researchers say VentriGel was well-tolerated by patients, with none of the group discontinuing their participation in the trial. The first participant in the trial experienced the most adverse effects, cardiogenic shock — failure to pump blood — and a complete heart block that may have been caused by the treatment, but also from the patient's previous heart blocks. No other adverse effects, say the researchers, were directly linked to the treatments.
"Although the study was designed to evaluate safety and feasibility and not designed to show whether VentriGel effectively helps improve heart function, we observed some improvements in patients," says Christman in a university statement. After three and six months, participants could walk longer distances in six minutes, than before the treatments. Participants overall also improved on the New York Heart Association heart failure classification scale that measures limits on physical activity, and a quality-of-life index for people living with heart failure.
The company now plans a mid-stage study, with a larger randomized sample that tests the hydrogel treatment against a placebo, and measures more indicators of efficacy as well as safety.
