London Riots: BlackBerry Messenger Used More than Facebook or Twitter As the riots in London look set to continue for a third night — and to spread to other parts of the UK — details are starting to emerge on how the rioters have been organizing themselves. The medium of choice? BlackBerry Messenger. The riots began as a protest at the police shooting of Mark Duggan, a resident of the Tottenham area of north London, last Thursday. A Facebook group quickly sprung up to commemorate Duggan; police and media attention was drawn to a particular post on the Facebook page which appeared to fan the flames, as well as the occasional tweet from rioters describing their deeds and where they were headed next. Some posted pictures of looting and burning police cars. But it soon became clear that BBM was by far the most popular means for rioters to communicate. The Guardian got its hands on BBM messages directing rioters — blasts that are shocking in their specificity.

"Juiced Baseball Player: An Experience with Steroids (ID 46019)". Erowid.org. Feb 15, 2010. erowid.org/exp/46019 When I entered college, my main goals were to find a college that I could go to and play baseball at the same time. Anyways, three years later, I was at a 4 year university and I decided I wanted to try steroids to see what all the hype was about. A day after my first injection, I felt immediate results. My goal was not to gain weight because I was already a big guy at the time. Now the drawbacks. With my teammates, on the road it got ugly a couple of times. People talk about your nuts shrinking when you are on steroids. After I got off the juice, my nuts went back to normal in about a week. I do not see how anyone could take juice and not smoke pot. Steroids made me superhuman. I would never do steroids again. Experience Reports are the writings and opinions of the individual authors who submit them.
Caffeine-induced sleep disorder Caffeine-induced sleep disorder is a psychiatric disorder that results from overconsumption of the stimulant caffeine. "When caffeine is consumed immediately before bedtime or continuously throughout the day, sleep onset may be delayed, total sleep time reduced, normal stages of sleep altered, and the quality of sleep decreased."[1] Caffeine reduces slow-wave sleep in the early part of the sleep cycle and can reduce rapid eye movement sleep later in the cycle.[2] Caffeine increases episodes of wakefulness, and high doses in the late evening can increase sleep onset latency.[2] In elderly people, there is an association between use of medication containing caffeine and difficulty in falling asleep.[2] References[edit] Further reading[edit] Broderick P, Benjamin AB (December 2004).
Cognitive liberty Cognitive liberty is the freedom of sovereign control over one's own consciousness. It is an extension of the concepts of freedom of thought and self-ownership.[citation needed] The American nonprofit Center for Cognitive Liberty and Ethics, founded and directed by neuroethicist Dr. An individual who enjoys cognitive liberty is free to alter the state of their consciousness using any method they choose, such as meditation, yoga, psychoactive drugs, and prayer. We're playing with half a deck as long as we tolerate that the cardinals of government and science should dictate where human curiosity can legitimately send its attention and where it can not. American psychologist and writer Timothy Leary summarized the concept in two “new commandments for the molecular age”: Thou shalt not alter the consciousness of thy fellow men.Thou shalt not prevent thy fellow man from changing his or her own consciousness.[2] See also[edit] References[edit] External links[edit]
New study shows that knowing spoilers doesn't ruin a story Here's the explanation for that study: I'll take my love for "Sucker-Punch" as an example. The first time I saw it, as with any first viewing, was filled with mystery (which I fucking love), not knowing exactly what I'm about to watch. It's a very symbolic movie and nearly impossible to "get" upon first viewing without knowing anything about it. Leaving the first viewing of that film, I liked the movie, not a lot, it was different from what I expected, but I also found it intriguing and my mind really dwelled on it for the next 24 hours. So in conclusion, I loved Sucker-Punch even more upon repeat viewings, but that's because I knew it and could fully realize what every scene meant, which could not be possible upon first viewing. It doesn't mean I need to be spoiled to enjoy it more. Movies are much like gifts/presents: The excitement of seeing that beautiful wrapping paper in its perfect packaged glory, not knowing what exactly is inside. The joy of the unwrapping.
MLB exemptions for stimulants gain attention - MLB The patient needs a fix, so the routine is simple. Figure out the symptoms. Find a sympathetic doctor. Get a prescription. Enjoy. It's the tried-and-true formula for landing medical marijuana in California – and, as Major League Baseball has learned over the last three years, for enterprising players who want to skirt the league's drug program that bans stimulants and take them without penalty. No, not all of the 108 players this year granted baseball's version of a tokin' token – the therapeutic-use exemption (TUE) – are con artists who say they have attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) so they can freely swallow Adderall, Ritalin and other such banned stimulants. "It looks fishy," Dr. Tuckman is the vice president for the Attention Deficit Disorder Association and an expert on adult ADHD. The revelation of TUEs is an offseason rite, one of the few gifts delivered by Congressional intervention into baseball's business. The issue, of course, is baseball's culture.
