He was asked to rate the great players during his 1985-1990 years.Charles declared Michael Jordan #1 and Barkley #2. The commentator, to clarify the statement, asked Charles if he thought himself better than Magic Johnson. Charles replied, "Yes." The commentator then asked Charles if he thought of himself as better than Larry Bird. Charles replied again, "Yes."Barkley went on to explain why. He felt that both Magic Johnson and Larry Bird belonged to better teams, so they seemed better because they were playing with other great players. I would disagree. The title "great player" or "super star" doesn't mean...

The Kooikerhundje has existed in the Netherlands since before the 1500s. The Kooikerhundje is a unique dog which is directly related to the dog which is known in the United States as the Nova Scotian Duck Toller. It is believed that the Toller is descended from the Kooiker. The body build of the Kooikerhundje is quite similar to the Duck toller but the coloring of the Kooiker is red and white. Like the duck toller, it is the heavily fringed white "feather" of his constantly moving tail which lures the ducks to the hunter, thus the term "decoy dog" is used to describe the function of the two breeds. In the case of the Kooikerhundje, the dog historically could be classified as a working dog...

If you think your cell phone's low SAR rating will keep you safe from your phone's radio frequency/microwave radiation, think again. Several studies have shown that even low-intensity radiation, up to 200,000 lower than existing safety standards, produces biological effects.What is SAR, anyway?Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) is a measure of the amount of radio frequency energy absorbed by the body when using a mobile phone. The FCC has adopted limits for safe exposure to radio frequency and requires cell phone manufacturers to ensure that their phones comply. Any cell phone at or below these SAR levels (that is, any phone legally sold in the U.S.) is a "safe" phone, as measured by these standards...

In August 1975 Gary Dahl, an advertising executive, came up with the wacky idea of having a 'rock' as a pet. He just didn't want the hassle of looking after traditional pets like dogs, cats and birds etc., which Gary considered to be too messy, expensive and hard to look after.After the initial weird looks and grunts from his friends, they soon came round to the idea, and thought the concept of 'Pet Rocks' was quite fun.Gary spent a couple of weeks creating a 'Pet Rock Training Manual' and designed a small box to look like a miniature pet carrying case. The manual contained tips on how the owner should look after their new Pet Rock. The tips included how to teach your Pet Rock to 'roll over and play...

I have compiled a list of the most important things every WOW player on the Alliance must know and have narrowed it down to five. Read them below.1.) If you want to go solo, get yourself a Night Elf Hunter or a Warlock.While there isn't any one particular character template that works perfectly for soloing, this is about the best that there is on the Alliance side. First, there really isn't any equal level monster in the game that a properly tricked out Hunter can't tackle one-on-one without breaking a sweat. While Warlocks are a bit more fragile, they have an excellent complement of damage dealing spells that will let them survive - albeit while taking more damage. Unfortunately, many creatures...

Renaissance humanism saw no mutually exclusive polarities between the sciences and the arts, and as impressive and innovative as Leonardo's artistic work are his studies in science and engineering, recorded in notebooks comprising some 13,000 pages of notes and drawings, which fuse art and science. These notes were made and maintained through Leonardo's travels through Europe, during which he made continual observations of the world around him. He was left-handed and used mirror writing throughout his life. This is explainable by the fact that it is easier to pull a quill pen than to push it; by using mirror-writing, the left-handed writer is able to pull the pen from right to...

Physical AlchemyTransmutation of one substance into another such as base metals into gold, water into wine, etc., is the physical aspect of alchemy. It is often referred to as the "Greater Circulation." Much charlatanry and quackery became involved with this aspect and many people were cheated by rascals who claimed that they had in their possession the Philosopher's Stone that could effect a transmutation of base metals into gold. Human greed knows no bounds; the poor wishes to be wealthy, the rich aims to be wealthier, and with all their efforts, whether successful or not, sorrow and suffering is the karmic result.Aspirants of the Ancient Wisdom are taught that the world of form is transient and...

We were never meant to be alone! Birds flock together, wolves form packs, whales form pods, ants form colonies, ancient peoples and North American aboriginal peoples formed tribes. Thousands of single people spend millions of dollars on dating services and other things designed to put them in contact with their future soul mate. Millions of others have found them and married. Some, in their rush, have made the wrong choice and have either divorced or continue to live in a poor relationship.WHY do we need this companionship? It certainly isn't for sex or the continuation of the species, because both sex and pregnancy take place outside of marriage or co-habitation every day. It is because the...

While you may purchase young, small koi, like other species of creatures, they will adapt their growth and size somewhat, to the restrictions of space. Food and overall conditions in the aquarium will also affect their growth rate, with premium food being important, and overfeeding to be avoided both for the health of the fish, and the health of the tank environment.Clean water is a must, as is good aeration. Large fish eat a lot of food and produce a lot of waste. If you have a 50-gallon tank, and several fish, you may need a filtration system whose capacity is actually over 50 gallons, in order to keep the water as clean as possible.You might like to choose from several of the varieties of koi...

With the coming of autumn in the Northern hemisphere, there is the usual migration of birds to warmer areas of the continent. There are a number of challenges that go along with birding in the autumn. Young birds are harder to identify as their plumage may not have reached maturity. They may not match up to the bird you are looking at in your standard birder's guide. Birds may also be molting at this time of year. Another issue may be the changing color of the leaves and the grey skies of fall (depending on your location and the exact time you are bird watching of course). Hawks and other autumn-toned birds can be harder to spot. Best binoculars To spy birds best, you will ideally use a well-kept...

The Great ExpectationAt this crucial point of transition between the world-cycles of the Piscean and the Aquarian Age, and with all the suffering and pain that humanity is experiencing--the various injustices that tyrants are afflicting the innocent masses, not to mention the descent of negative karma in its myriad of forms as described in Revelations as the "seven last plagues," it is understandable that humanity cry-out for a Saviour to save it from a sensed future destruction. The way greed, separatism, racialism, egoism, corruption, conflict, fanaticism, terrorism, and ignorance are being expressed in politics, religion, business and corporate institutions, and social life, it seems that there...

Birds lay eggs; that's what they do. But did you know that this could be deadly for your pet?My beloved bird is a cockatiel. She's a beautiful bird and a great companion. About twice a year she gets in a mood to respond to her God given natural activity of egg laying. The first time she ever did this it was really cute.The problem was, the egg wasn't fertilized, so it wouldn't hatch. So after a while of the egg not hatching, she determined the trick was to lay another egg, only to get the same results. This led to more eggs until she had six or seven eggs she was watching over.When I first got her I did some research on the Internet about cockatiels and bird care. So when this egg laying...
