Years rolled slowly past
And I found myself alone.
Surrounded by strangers I thought were my friends,
Further and further from my home.
Guess I lost my way.
There were oh so many roads.
I was living to run,
Running to live,
I began to find myself searching,
For shelter again and again,
Against the wind.

Anonymous Journal Entry:
Cook County Hospital:
Even as I write this, my hands shake. My head swims and creeps with the lazy fog of powerful drugs. And not only that, my dreams have gotten stronger. With every passing second, every time I close my eyes, they have gotten stronger. I still dont know what they mean, but they have gotten stronger and more insistent. I hear the echoing of the mans tears in my heart, the lapping of the water and the sound of the word Scully piercing through my subconscious.
Just yesterday, I heard it over and over in my head when I went in to get another of those horrendous shots. I heard it just as strongly as if I had been dreaming it, and it was almost as if the sound of the voice, the uttering of the word were whispering secrets to me. I felt even more passionately at that moment than I ever had before that I knew him. I knew his voice and I knew his soul. I just did. I knew it and I felt it, and I closed my eyes to think it over and over, repeating it. I let the thought wash over me and dissolve my allaying fears.
And thats when it happened. The most important breakthrough Ive had yet.
I remember so clearly, opening my eyes and looking at the shelves surrounding the table next to the high rise. I remember reading off the names of the chemicals---the different meds that graced the counter, like a mad scientists vanity dresser. I remember recognizing the names, being able to access in my head what each one did, how each one worked, and what each one was for, and for the life of me, I couldnt figure out how I knew what I did. It just came to me, suddenly, as if a wall had collapsed behind me.
I didnt understand what it meant, but I knew it meant something.
So I tried to tell the nurseI tried to make her see that I remembered, that my brain had recalled something of strange importance, and that I needed to see the doctor right away, but she wouldnt let me. A nervous look came over her face then, as if I had broken a rule, and she gruffly ushered me out of the lab, dragging me back to my room. It puzzled me, that she got so terrified, and I couldnt understand just what I had done to make her so upset. All I understand is that the next thing I know, shes jabbed another dose of narcotic into my arm and I felt myself drifting, her eyes watching me like an eagle would watch its prey.
And when I closed my eyes, I dreamed my dream. It was more powerful that time than other any time I had dreamed it, and I cried out and screamed, searching desperately for the man who called Scully over and over again, just as I had before. This time, however, his fingers finally touched mine---his hand clutched to me and he gasped as if our souls had finally met and brushed past.
When I woke up, I was sweaty and I was confused. My head felt heavy and jumbled with too much scattered information, but somehow, during the night, it had opened up and spilled its contents to me, revealing the many textbooks I seemed to have contained . There were medical terms and technical, scientific jargon that filled me without my even knowing why. It was like opening a door that had been long slammed shut.
And that was when I realized that I was being lied to; that I was being deceived and cheated out of my life.
I was not sick at all.
And so I write this now, setting the words to paper just as surely as I am sitting here, vowing this to myself and to those I am going to find. I am writing this as a promise to myself, a promise to the man from my dreams.
I am going to find him and fill his heart, the way he has filled my dreams. I swear I am going to remember everything. Somehow, in some way. I am going to discover why the fog comes every night to take me away to a place where I hear crying and sobbing. I am going to lift the curtain from my mind and my heart, and I am going to find a place where laughter claims me.
I am going to get the hell out of here, and I am going to do it even if it kills me.
Back to the present,
Mulders apartment,
He tells the story,
May 12th
I raise an eyebrow and blink once, then twice, trying desperately to rationalize this information to the practical part of my analytic subconscious. The scientific part of me is screaming in rebuttal, telling me that no, no, its not possible, while the woman in me is trying to fathom the horrible violation that he has just described.
Somehow, I swallow and manage, what youve just Fox, what youre telling me, its not---
Not possible? he asks, laughing bitterly, as if hes choking on his own sour truth. You think I didnt try to convince myself of that? You think I didnt want to believe that? I DID but the truth is that it happened.
I sigh and try to come up with something that could effectively refute that. Something that would help to prove my point beyond a shadow of the smallest inkling of a doubt. I know that there are millions upon millions of things----countless medical theories and scientific ramblings that could serve as spring boards for an argument over the semantics of reality but Unfortunately, the fact still stands that I wasnt there when all this happened. I had never lived through this with him, and I am not his beloved Dana Scully. I could argue till Im blue, but it still wouldnt change the fact that I have no right telling him that what he believes in so staunchly is wrong. Its not something that I can even begin to debate with him, and its not something that Id care to, either. It is his story and his life----his memories that he has vulnerably thrust upon me, and I have no right to refute the recollections he seems to cling to like a flower to a vine.
The woman in me knows this with certainty.
It happened, Fox insists, vehemently, watching the emotions splay across my face. My daughter wouldnt be here if it hadnt.
I close my eyes and silence the scientist within me. She has no place within this conversation, in this corner of reality where science and reason seem to become as nonsensical and as nonexistent as Unicorns and sprites in wonderland.
Ok, I conceed, softly, watching Fox as he watches me. I believe you.
Astonishment paints delicate lines across his tired face.
You believe me? Just like that? he asks.
I sigh at him and nod. He nods back and smiles, as if my response is welcome but ultimately unexpected, and he clears his throat. I know that hes thinking about her---musing about what she would say, how she would argue her point, how her ivory face would change, how her words would differ from mine And I hate itI hate that I am second best, that I am not what he wants I hate that I am not her and I hate that sometimes my heart wishes I was
But its not like I can help it any more than I can stop the sun from setting or the grass from growing so I let him crash into me. I swallow hard and let him study melet him compare me to her in a way Ive never thought to let him before. I let his heart scan mine, and when he finishes, his eyes close for a moment, as if processing the information. I feel dissected and probed, pulled apart and scattered, but I know that it is not my soul or my heart he is looking for inside me.
Its hers.
And when his eyes open, I can tell that he has not found what he seeks. He knows that I am not her. He knows but he needed to look anyway. He needed to, just as he needs to look every day, everywhere he goes, even though he has not found her yet. He has not found the part of him that belongs to her, but he will keep looking as long as he will keep breathing.
Our gazes lock and he finally breaks the uncomfortable silence, starting, Kylee got Scullys fever to go down some, but it didnt break until morning. And thats when I told her. I told her everything. I told her how long we needed to stay underground, where we needed to go, my theory
I nod, then ask, What did she say?
Fox stares off at the wall. What did she say what did she say he murmurs, as if its almost funny but not in a ha ha sort of way. First, she told me that the chances of what I had suggested were slim and nil. She insisted that the entire idea was impossible even in its most rudimentary formthat there was little proof to go on, little reason to jump to hasty conclusions
I nod softly, then cock my head to the side, guessing that theres more here that hes not saying. But? I ask, gently.
He raises an eyebrow and acknowledges the question, pursing his lips into a thin line, before answering, But He pauses and closes his eyes to remember fully. But then she said to me, Mulder, do you believe in God? and I just looked at her and held her hand. There wasnt any right answer that I could give her, and I didnt know what she wanted to hear. So she just sort of stared at me in a funny way and told me that it was getting harder and harder for her to understand---to rationalize the whys and the hows of a science she was so firmly rooted in, but had started to distrust. She said that it was hard to believe in divinity for the same reason, even though her mother had always told her that God was supposed to have a plan. She wanted so hard to trust her faith---in science, in God, in something, but she was losing the strength to try. Then she looked at me with these these sad, worried eyes that I dont think Ill ever forget and she said, I need to believe. Help me believe again, Mulder. But I didnt know what to say to that, and so I didnt say anything
When he pauses again, I suck in a breath and bite my lip. To understand him and follow this story is to become part of it, to live every moment with him, and I think I have just grown five years in one hour, playing this in my head like a demented video player.
But then she got better, I say, willing it to be true, feeling as if Ive met her through his eyes. She got better and the two of you got out, right?
He looks at me and nods, slowly. Yeah, he answers, voice trailing. Scully recovered, with Kylees help, and as soon as her temperature registered near normal, we left to travel out west. Kylee and Josh left to go north into Canada, but Scully, the gunmen and I went west, spending weeks travelling Above ground at night, and underground during the day. He stops and shrugs, then continues, We didnt know what was going on up there or who was looking for us, so we spent weeks travelling... He manages a slight chuckle and says, Scully called it incognito, insisting that she was going to write a book on the four paranoid musketeers She missed the sun on her face, I could tell
I smile at that, wondering at the memory, then finally manage to ask the question Id been meaning to ask him since he started his story.
You fell in love with her then, didnt you?
But I can tell that its the wrong question as soon as his back stiffens and his face hardens. Its almost as if Ive trespassed onto sacred ground for even insinuating such an idea.
I study him and he swallows.
She was my partner, is all he says, and the room falls uncomfortably silent
Approxmately two weeks later
Undisclosed location
Five and a half years ago
Come on, Scully just one time---youll like it. Itll change your life, I pinky swear it
Scully let out a barely concealed giggle that seemed to lighten the oppresive darkness of their hideaway.
Read my . She paused to shake her head, finishing, my palm?
Her voice lingered almost imperceptibly on that last word, and she nearly lost her train of thought in a fit of hitched laughter that welled up from inside of her.
Mulders right arm fell tight and secure around her shoulders, and she could feel the gentle fierceness of his heart beating beneath the head she rested softly upon his chest. Her fingers traced idle patterns on his arms and up the crook of his elbow, and his left hand curled underneath the back of his head lazily. Often now, they would lie like this---together---staring up at the roof of some dank and murky underground cavern, or if they were supremely lucky, at the stars sparkling above them like a field of sequins on a curtain of velvet.
Tonight, they happened to be crashing in some nameless barn in some nameless town.
Yes, Mulder answered, mock defensiveness creeping into his voice. What? You dont trust the psychic abilities of Spooky Fox Mulder? Psychic extrordinaire?
When Scully laughed again, her voice vibrated against the hollow of his collarbone and chest. Psychic or psychotic? she deadpanned. Because I can vouch for the existence of one, Mulder, but not the--- Her voice stuttered on the last word and then shot up a notch, managing, HEY! as she started to giggle.
Without warning, his left hand had snuck around to wage war against the side of her right rib cagecausing contagious laughter to echo into his ears and flow into his brain. He had every sound she madeevery inflection of her voice catalogued, from the doctor voice, to the FBI mode voice, to the Dana voice, but laughter was a new one to him---and all he wanted was to breathe it in until the sound filled him.
Say Supercalafragalisticexpialidocious and maybe Ill stop, Mulder teased her, laughing as quietly as he could to ensure that they wouldnt disturb the gunmen asleep around them.
Scully struggled valiantly, but Mulder held her steadfast, tickling and pinning her arms, his brain getting drunk off the sound of her giggling like a young girl. Say it, and Ill stop, he insisted, as she feebly tried to get him back by lunging for his sides. Come on, you can do it---- She gasped and tears fell from her eyes, but he refused to relent.
She opened her mouth and managed, Sup Sup Supercal .God Mul . Stop . She laughed again and again, and when finally he was sure that she had had enough, he pulled his hands from her ribcage long enough to peek over at her----at her fingers trailing to her eyes to wipe away salty tears. She sat up for a moment and blinked, rapidly opening and closing her eyes to regain her focus and equalibruim, and Mulder tugged on her arm and pulled her back down to him. Her breathing was thick and heavy, her heart racing, and she lay down into him, chasing away the last traces of lighthearted laughter.
Mulder, she admonished, in that soft, Dana voice she rarely used, that was NOT fair. That was cheating.
He laughed at her and let his hand trail down her side, languidly. How do you figure? he asked, amused.
She grinned and pulled awayjust far enough to lean onto her side facing him---propping an elbow on the ground with her head on her palm. Her other hand continued its endless roam of his arm, drawing nonsense designs on his wrist and forearm. You had tactical advantage, she said, smiling. Not to mention a serious size factor working in your favor, Mulder. Admit it, you cheated.
Mulders eyes opened wide in overexaggerated shock, and Scully shook her head, warily. I resent that, Doc, he teased, using the nickname he had only recently christened her with. It had been borne out of a nasty splinter that had attacked his finger----one that she had needed to coax him into removing. And once she did, she had shaken her head at him, amused, and he had insisted on a bandaid for his wound. She had called him a baby and he had called her doc. The name just seemed to stick.
Cheat, Scully insisted, affectionately.
She sighed and laid back down, letting her head rest inside the pillow of his shouldera frequent spot for her when she was tired and ready to snooze for the night. She cleared her throat then, holding out her right hand in front of their closely settled faces----fingers spread apart----and she snuggled further into Mulders shoulder.
Ahem, your royal psychoticness----My palm reading? she said pointedly, jabbing playfully at his side with her opposite hand. She wiggled her outstretched fingers to urge him forward.
From below her copper stained head, she heard his chest rumbling, his deep, rich voice answer, lightly, I thought you didnt believe in such things, Agent Scully.
She snorted. I dont. Then her head lifted just enough for her to capture his gaze, the corners of her light pink lips turning up. But I seem to have a weakness for tall, lanky, paranoid men who like to make crazy suggestions about the signifigance of genetically predetermined marks on my hands.
Mulder shook his head and laughed. And that would be your roundabout way of making an exception?
Her eyebrow raised enigmatically.
Tell me my future, Spooky, she joked, still holding out her flattened palm. Her head came down to rest idly next to his, and he took her hand gently ----caressing the tips of her fingers.
Her eyes wide open and sparkling, Scully contentedly stared up at her hand entwined with her partners----at the index finger that slowly curled around his thumb---at his forefinger stroking the back of her hand.
He took in a deep breath, shoving down his racing pulse, and started, well, this looks promising
Scully raised another eyebrow and chuckled, querying, And what would that be?
Mulder cleared his throat and traced the inside of her palm, running the balls of his fingers over a crease in that ran the length of her hand. Touching her felt like silk to his skin, and yet it was fire and ice at the same time, setting him ablaze and putting him out continually.
You seem to have a long lifeline, he told her, murmuring, his finger spanning up and down the crease. See how it goes to the edge of your hand and then almost all the way down to your wrist?
Scully mumbled an affirmative and he shivered as he touched her skin again. That means youre going to live a long long life Dana Katherine Scully
She sighed, leaning in closer to the inside of his neck, then slowly let her palm curl around all four of his fingers, caressing up and down, languidly. In response, she could feel him swallow next to her, and her opposite hand measured the way his heart beat quickened every time they touched a little morea little longer Her face felt flush and every spot on her being seemed to tingleto shiver and tremble as if he were all around her. Somehow, he was inside her and next to her It was insanely erotic and yet there was nothing sensual about it at all.
And here, Mulder murmured softly, running a thumb down the outside of her index finger, here it says that youre going to accomplish great things----that youre a healer of the sick, that youre kind forgiving
Their hands twined and untwined together, caressing and touching, as if the art of him reading her palm was more a sensual dance than a casual time passer. She let out a contented, Hmm and wrapped her hand around the back of his knuckles, lightly tracing the texture of his skin.
Then Mulder shifted their exploring digits so that his index finger rested on her palm again, and he ran a course down yet another line that ran from her thumb to her pinky. And heres something interesting, he breathed, softly.
Whats that? Scully asked, her voice low and throaty, her skin feeling all at once too tight and too hot for her body.
Theres someone, he whispered, gently, letting his index finger trail up her palm again. Someone you love that shares your lifeline; someone who shares the other part of you. Kinda tall lanky
Their hands curled together again, interweaving carefully, and this time he lowered them so that they hovered just slightly above and between their faces.
Really? Scully managed, her heart thudding out symphonies in her chest, her breathing long and deep. Anything else you can see about this mystery person?
His thumb traced the contours of her index finger and her pulse quickened.
Yeah, Mulder answered, his voice low and husky. His head turned so that his mouth murmured gently into the downy softness of her russet hair. He seems to know your hands pretty well
Scully swallowed, hard, and then turned so that her nose rested into Mulders neck. She closed her eyes, trying to shove back her roiling emotions, and she managed, Oh with barely hooded desire painting the edges of her voice

After his own candidacy was rejected in the upcoming presidential elections set to take place on May 19, former Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad angrily slammed the Islamic Republic's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, demanding to know why Khamenei should be the country's leader. Many in Iran have expressed amazement that Ahmadinejad has not been arrested over the outburst since any criticism of the Supreme Leader, however mild, is strictly off-limits to the Iranian people.
In this official interview broadcast on state TV on Wednesday, April 19, Ahmadinejad can be seen angrily demanding of Khamenei: "Who said you should be the leader? Do people have to listen and obey so that you will be the head? You disagree with everything that would lead to growth and development for the people. I know about all these issues. I've talked with all of them [senior regime officials, including Khamenei]. They say when people's expectations increase, then we won't be able to rule."
The firebrand former president continued his unprecedented outburst against the Supreme Leader, lambasting Khamenei and his inner circle of officials, saying, "Well the country has a population of 80 million, and among them are people who are stronger than you who'll come and rule instead of you."
Chuckling sarcastically, Ahmadinejad continued, "Who said that you must be the head at any cost? By every price, by squashing the people? This is not the logic of Islam, nor of the Islamic revolution or of our religious leaders. This is the logic of selfishness and this has no final outcome. I should tell you, if it has an end, your predecessors would remain as a ruling head."

Posted 11 January 2013 | By
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is proposing to reclassify yet another medical device, this time blade-form endosseous dental implants, as class II moderate-risk medical devices capable of being cleared through the 510(k) substantial equivalence process-the third such reclassification proposal this week.
The process stems from the 1976 Medical Device Amendments, which for the first time in US history established a system for the regulation of medical devices based on their safety and efficacy. Devices in distribution after the passage of the MDA were automatically classified as class III risk-risk devices until the agency has a chance to assess them based on their safety.
In other words, devices are assumed to be dangerous until proven otherwise (the de novo pathway partially alters this paradigm).
Devices are down-classified from class III to classes II or I through a three-part process involving the recommendation of an advisory committee, the publication of its recommendation in the Federal Register (and receipt of public comment) and the publication of a final regulation classifying the device.
Today's (11 January 2013) announcement means that FDA is in the second stage of its down-classification procedure, and is seeking to regulate blade-form endosseous dental implants as class II devices with special controls. The devices are relatively common, comprising the majority of all dental implants manufactured and sold in the US. The implants, generally made of titanium, are placed into the jaw, where the bone then fuses to the metal.
The devices were first approved in 1980, just a few years after the passage and implementation of the MDA. Because it is an implantable device, it was recommended by an FDA panel for classification as a class III medical device. In 1987, that recommendation was codified in a final rule.
In 1997, an FDA panel said many dental implants products, including root-form and temporary implants, could be marketed using a 510(k) using special controls, but said additional information was needed to support a similar conclusion for blade-form endosseous dental implants.
Now, FDA is proposing that the device be classified as a class II device with special controls as well, saying that the controls "would provide reasonable assurance of their safety and effectiveness."
"Absent the special controls identified in this proposed order, general controls applicable to the device are insufficient to provide reasonable assurance of the safety and effectiveness of the device," it added.
FDA explained that the devices are capable of causing a number of harms to patients if insufficiently controlled, including damage to tissue, pain, bone and nerve damage, infection and thermal injury if used in the presence of an MRI.
FDA's reclassification notice concludes with nine factors companies will have to meet if they are to market the device under the premarket notification system. Companies will need to conduct design and material composition testing, mechanical performance testing under simulated conditions, corrosion testing, biocompatibility testing, sterility testing, and must also have clear product labeling, patient labeling and document clinical experience of safety and efficacy.

I know what you may be thinking: How can three words really change anyone's life, including yours?

I recently had the chance to review Nike Golf's VR Pro STR8-FIT Driver, and to follow up that review I've had the opportunity to test and review the VR Pro STR8-FIT fairway wood. I've also had the chance to test the VR Pro hybrid, and that review is coming soon. I tested the VR Pro STR8-FIT 15-degree 3-wood, and I've hit it on the range several times and played it in four live rounds on the course here in Phoenix. I was also able to test it against last year's VR STR8-FIT 3-wood, and I'll make comparisons in the review below.
Out of the box the VR Pro STR8-FIT fairway wood is clearly a player's club. From the playing position it has a traditional pear shape, similar to last year's VR STR8-FIT fairway wood, although last year's model was a touch more c-shaped. The crown has the same metallic black finish, and Nike has done away with the powerbow at the back of the crown in this year's model. The sole again features Nike's Compression Channel technology, but in this year's VR Pro model the channel goes completely across the sole (last year's model had the compression channel covered by the sole plate). The sole plate has also been redesigned from last year, with it residing completely behind the compression channel. The compression channel itself is black this year, fading nicely to red at the rear of the sole.
Like the VR Pro driver, one of the most significant features of the new VR Pro fairway wood is the black SRT8-FIT collar (last year's was silver), which blends in nicely with the hosel of the club, minimizing visual distraction. The club comes with a stock Project X 6.0 shaft and a Nike STR8-FIT Tour Velvet grip by Golf Pride. The grip has the STR8-FIT diagram on the butt end of the grip showing the 32 club face angle positions. The headcover is similar to that of the VR Pro driver, bit instead of a magnetic closure it has a sock below the main part of the headcover that protects the shaft. The club also comes with three tabs to identify which fairway wood it is (3, 5 & X), the STR8-FIT manual, the diagram showing the possible clubhead positions and the STR8-FIT wrench to remove and replace the clubhead.
My first swings again confirmed that this is truly a player's fairway wood. The first word that came to mind was "solid" — when striking the ball the VR Pro fairway wood has a very solid feel, and the clubhead has great weighting that allows the clubhead to do the work. I didn't feel like I had to swing hard to get great distance with this club. Easy swings resulted in long, straight shots.
The VR Pro fairway wood has great playability, and I was able to work the ball both right and left with the club. Also knowing that I can adjust the face to counteract a hook or slice on any given day gives me increased confidence. It has great acoustics, a pleasingly solid "plink" at impact. It is also very forgiving, with the compression channel helping to give shots that are struck low on the face and towards the heel added distance. Thin shots go just about as far as shots struck in the middle of the face.
Like the VR Pro STR8-FIT driver, the VR Pro STR8-FIT fairway woods can be adjusted to any of 32 possible face positions and subsequent lie angles. This allows better players to quickly dial the club in to their specific specifications. 32 positions is probably overkill for an average golfer like myself, but knowing the club can be easily adjusted to offset a hook or slice is a big advantage. This can be done when warming up on the range before a round, and if you are slicing or hooking you can adjust the club to counteract that, which can give confidence going into the round. I am able to take head off, put it back on in a different position and tighten it with the STR8-FIT wrench in a minute or less.
The traditional pear shape of the VR Pro fairway woods invites shot shaping. Better players will be able to work the ball right and left with this club. They'll also be able to adjust the clubhead position to promote a particular shot shape for a particular day, perhaps for a course with doglegs primarily in one direction. Average players will also benefit from the clubs ability (through its adjustability) to help them achieve a certain ball flight and shot shape, if they happen to struggle with fading or drawing the ball, or hitting the ball particularly high or low. The VR Pro fairway woods can help average golfers shape shots like just like the pros do.
I got great distance with the VR Pro 3-wood. I hit it about 5 yards farther than last year's VR STR8-FIT 3-wood. Most notably was that I was able to get that extra distance while swinging easier, with the weight of the club doing the work for me. I notice this particularly on long par 5's, when sometimes I'll use it for my drive to place the ball in the fairway, and many times I'll use this club for my second shot where it gives me the ability to put the ball closer to the green for a (hopefully) more accurate third shot — if it's not already on the green that is!
I'm able to place shots effectively with the VR Pro 3-wood. Sometimes I'll use this club off the tee when I need to place a drive in a particularly tight fairway. Or I'll use it on an approach shot on a long par 4 or a second shot on a long par 5 when accuracy is critical. I'm confident in this club, and that confidence allows me to pick a target and (most of the time) put my ball there (or close) without over-swinging.
The VR Pro 3-wood is very forgiving, primarily because of the compression channel technology in the sole of the club which gives thin shots and shots hit close to the heel almost as much distance as a solidly struck shot. I'm confident that if I mis-hit a shot with this club that it will go almost as far and pretty much on the same line as a shot that I've struck well.
This club has a great sound at impact, a pleasingly solid "plink" like last year's VR ST8-FIT 3-wood. The VR Pro 3-wood has the standard sound you would expect from a 3-wood, similar to other metal fairway woods on the market.
The VR Pro fairway wood, like the VR pro driver, is another great club design from Nike Golf. Definitely a player's club with a traditional club head shape, the VR Pro brings great distance and shot shaping capability to better players and average golfers alike. The STR8-FIT adjustability allows a player to dial the club in to their particular specifications, and adjust the club to counteract a particular swing flaw or promote a particular shot shape. The compression channel gives thin shots almost the same result as solidly struck shots. This club is in my bag for the 2011 season, and if you are looking for a fairway wood that will give you confidence and maybe become your go-to club for pressure shots, I suggest you give the VR Pro fairway woods a try.

Prostate cancer cells is among one of the most common as well as plentiful sorts of cancer that has actually ever existed. In fact, cancer cells in the prostate are the sort of condition that's taking place profusely in males. As a male reaches the old age like fifty and above, he is ending up being much more subject to this type of cancer cells. Although cancer in the prostate is a sluggish growing kind, this too could eliminate the life of the sufferer. Like several various other cancers, prostate problem has the center to technique or spread to various other components of the body. When it gets to the lymph nodes or the bones, chances are, you're misting likely to deal with a very major situation that could even put your life at risk. As well as although there is a huge option of prostate problems solutions offered, not all that your medical professionals suggest would function best for you. Some would also cause additional issues that may direct you to despondency activities. When it comes to looking for the finest prostalgene treatment or treatment which could help you dispose of prostate problems, it will certainly pay to recognize all the various other choices as well as not just go for conventional approaches.
There is such a great deal of factors causing the symptom of prostate cancer cells. It is prevalent to males of African-American; nonetheless, there is still no valid reason as to just how or why this is the case. Professionals are still trying to exercise the partnership of the race as well as the genes. Definitely, guys who have a family background of such cancer cells are far more likely to create it in the future. But the probability of passing away of it could be controlled.
As you could see, not all men that have prostate cancer die from such health problem. There are other elements which can cause the passing away of the client. And also sadly, not all males that actually have prostate troubles could have themselves diagnosed. Instant activities and correct therapies aren't applied. But, if you are a candidate for prostate problem, you do not need to become one of those struggling with all their life or merely die as a result of such condition. There are such a lot of methods on how you could combat and even stay clear of the severe incident of prostate problem.
Treating prostate cancer cells desires not the intervention of oppressive yet ineffectual ways like chemo, radiation and also surgical treatment. Nowadays, you can manage prostate cancer in a natural way. And also if nature would truly call it, you can choose more fragile and also helpful therapy or treatment. It's not really a necessity that you leap into surgeries, radiation and also various other ways which can just provide you a lot more pain and suffering. Such treatments can offer you with more hell compared to you could most likely visualize.

On the most recent episode of The Best Show, Tom welcomed Human Giant's (as opposed to Human Giants) Paul Scheer and Jason Woliner to talk about their experience at Comic Con. It's a great segment with lots of stories about the convention, celebrity sightings and the guys renting a house and getting robbed. Paul recaps the robbery experience on his blog.
Anywho, the guys were talking about celebs signing autographs at the convention when Paul mentioned that Erin Gray was there. This struck him as odd, because why is the girlfriend of the Dad from Silver Spoons at Comic Con signing autographs?
What Paul didn't realize (or he did and was just being very witty and I missed it) was that Erin Gray is better known as Col. Wilma Deering from Buck Rogers in the 25th Century (and Lilah from Six Pack, but I creepily digress). Paul and Jason wouldn't know that since Paul was 3 years old and Jason probably younger when it aired.
I was 8.
That makes me old.

Here's Your Chance To Win The Best Dive Job Ever
Becoming a dive instructor in Bali would be like hitting the jackpot in the job lottery, but unlike winning an actual lottery, you wouldn't have to deal with a bunch of little-known third cousins coming out of the woodwork asking you to fund their pet iguana business idea they'd been thinking about for years.
To help you on your way of landing that dream job, Indonesia-based diving company Blue Season Bali recently announced their third annual "Best Dive Job in the World" contest, the winner of which will be hired to become a full-time trainer and live and work with them in 2015.
To enter, contestants need to submit a 90-second video based on the theme: "Why I want to be a professional PADI dive instructor and win the Best Dive Job in the World." The competition runs from August 1 — October 31.
In November 2014, Blue Season Bali will select eight finalists to travel to Bali where they will go through a 6-week-long training and become certified PADI Divemasters. Once the candidates have finished their training, they will then face various challenges during a final elimination week to determine a winner.
The final winner will get the grand prize: A package which includes all training necessary to become a PADI Master Scuba Diver Trainer, free accommodation while in training, full set of Aqualung equipment, teaching materials, and best of all, a full-time work contract with Blue Season Bali.

Things To Consider Before Selling Your House Online
Some thing might happen to you or someone else who close to you such that there is need of money at a time when you do not have money at your disposal at the particular time, and therefore you might opt to sell your house to an online buyer so as to quickly raise the money that you are in need of. You might be forced to sell your house because some unexpected event happened and lead to damage to property or injury to a person whereby you need money to pay for treatment of whoever is hurt as well as repair the damaged property and thus you might have to sell your house to raise the money. You should consider a few things before you go ahead to sell the house to someone who has made an online request for it.
The first factor to look at is the market price of the house and whether the buyer is offering an amount that is close to it and also if that amount is enough to help in solving the problem that made you sell the house. It is important that you sell your house at a good price despite the fact that you are in an emergency situation because you are supposed to make as little loss as possible depending on the amount of money you used to build the house.
The second thing you need to consider is the amount of marketing you need to do for the house to make sure that you create the necessary amount of awareness and reach a potential buyer easily. Online marketing is important because it helps to reach a lot of people who might be interested in purchasing a house and therefore they … Read More ...

Insurance Education
Health Insurance Continuing EducationWritten by Helen Glenn Court
Given the constantly changing face of health insurance in the United States today, one of the better career investments you can make in is health insurance continuing education. Keeping up with developments in your field is critical at any time. As a health insurance professional you need to be poised to understand the complexities of health care coverage, both as it applies to the provider and to the policy holder.
Health insurance coverage is a volatile issue in the quietest of times, especially in this country, in part because it is so costly for so many of us. We are--there's no question--facing a health care crisis. You as an insurance professional in health care are all too aware of this. You need to keep up with legislation and how it affects your industry. Whether you're a producer, an underwriter, a claims adjuster, or a manager, health insurance continuing education is more important than ever.
Whether you've just renewed your license or know that you need to within the next year, you want to study the course offerings for health insurance continuing education. The number of accredited institutions and organizations offering online insurance education is proliferating. Keeping up with developments in the field is easier than it ever was, but it takes effort on your part.
Catalog Offerings in Health Insurance Continuing Education
Your goal is to serve policy holders--no matter in what capacity. If you're an insurance producer, for example, you need to be poised to answer questions they'll have, understand what type of coverage is best for different circumstances, and how best to meet a policy holder's needs. Accident insurance and supplemental coverage are one course of study. Others include managed health care, Medicare, Medicaid and Medicare supplement plans, long term care, and group health. What classes you take is up to you, just know that thanks to the Internet, you have plenty of options.

The latest ICM poll for the Guardian has an 18-point Conservative lead. That ties with Ipsos MORI's October poll for the biggest Tory lead while in government in any poll since 1987. ICM and other pollsters did record bigger leads when the Tories were in opposition, as you'd expect – governments polling badly and oppositions shaping up to replace them generally produce the absolute extremes (see Labour in the late 2000s and the Tories in the mid 1990s).
The polls over the last week have been demonstrating sampling variability well, with MORI showing a fractionally reduced Tory lead, YouGov showing no change, ICM showing a modest increase and Opinium showing a big widening. The surrounding short-term noise and gradual nature of the underlying trend has made is remarkably subtle. No blue surge or red collapse, just a steady movement over the last six months or so.

And because that goes against normal electoral gravity, it makes 2020 very tricky to predict, even if you knew exactly what would happen with Brexit, the economy and everything else between now and then.
But what about Thursday? The betting markets have pretty much made their minds up on Copeland, with a 72 per implied probability of a Conservative gain at the close of play last night. In Stoke Central, Labour implies around 60 per cent. The Prime Minister's visit to Stoke certainly raised a few eyebrows. Do the Tories really think they can win there too?
Well, maybe. But I suspect they've seen UKIP in trouble after a difficult week for Paul Nuttall and fancy a stab at second place, something that might matter if the next general election ends up being fought on the current boundaries.
We also have another odd-day local by-election tonight – Winklebury on Basingstoke and Deane (Hants). This was won 46-30 by the Conservatives over Labour in 2015. Which sounds safe enough, but the Lib Dems have had bigger swings than the (exactly) 20 per cent they need to take it. However the no-show by UKIP, which took 18 per cent task time, may help the Tories. We shall see.
And looking further ahead, Roger Scully has written on the local elections in Wales, plus some analysis and projections from Harry Hayfield.

This weekend at Eastbrook Church, we continued looking at the theme of finding our place within the church. Last weekend I talked about how Jesus sets the tone for our service, but this week I focused on the question, "what if someone does not step forward to serve in response to God's invitation?" I looked at six aspects of humble service from the lives of Mary, the mother of Jesus, and Ananias, a disciple from Damascus.
You can listen to the message at the Eastbrook web-site here. You can also follow the RSS feed for Eastbrook sermons or follower Eastbrook Church on Twitter or Facebook.
The outline for the message is included below:
"I am the Lord's servant" Mary answered. "May Your word to me be fulfilled." (Luke 1:38)
"The Lord called to him in a vision, 'Ananias!' 'Yes, Lord,' he answered." (Acts 9:10)
Two Towering Figures of the New Testament: Jesus and Paul
- Their life, mission, and legacy
Two Servants of God: Mary and Ananias
- Hearing God's invitation (Luke 1:28; Acts 9:10)
- Seeing God's purposes for us…and others (Luke 1:29-33; Acts 9:11-12, 15-16)
- Asking our questions about God's call (Luke 1:34)
- Facing our fears about God's call (Acts 9:13-14)
- Submitting as servants of God (Luke 1:38)
- Moving forward in response to God's call (Acts 9:17-18)
What if…?
- What if Mary didn't respond with humble submission to God because of her questions?
- What if Ananias didn't respond with active obedience to God because of his fears?

The Viburnum 'Mohican', Viburnum lantana 'Mohican', is an incredibly tough shrub that is essentially evergreen in warmer climates. The dark, hairy leaves create a dark background to showcase other plants.It displays a very compact growth habit. The creamy white, flat topped flowers entirely envelop the plant in late April or May, followed by orange-red fruit in early July lasting a month before turning black in fall.The Mohican makes a nice hedge with the compact shape and heavy, dark green foliage. The fall color is attractive.

Tucson's postcard blue skies and gorgeous sunsets make the perfect backdrop for any restaurant, but even the majestic beauty of the Old Pueblo isn't enough to overcome a drab, boring paint job. Color is a powerful component that can change the entire look and feel of your restaurant and even give your patrons a more enjoyable dining experience. Have a look at some of these paint color ideas for inspiration and then contact an interior commercial painting company in Tucson for a professional color consultation.
Have Your Customers See Red
Red is a fantastic color for restaurants since it has been shown to stimulate appetite, which hopefully means increased food sales. Just remember to use red in moderation since too much can feel overbearing. Other shades that stimulate appetite include sunflower yellow, pumpkin, and vegetable-toned colors.
Reflect Your Menu
A great way to make your restaurant more aesthetically pleasing is by matching the interior color palette with the color palette of your menu. In other words, if your restaurant serves lots of salads or makes a point of using fresh ingredients, use greens, olives, mustard yellows, and similar shades. Or if you serve steaks and other fine cuts of meat, incorporate browns, mustard yellows, and wine reds.
Be Thoughtful and Consistent
When planning your restaurant's interior paint scheme, have a consistent color palette throughout the space. Coordinating interior colors will create a more pleasant space, and can also help customers remember your restaurant better.
If you're restaurant is in need of a fresh coat of paint, the professional commercial painters at Wild West Painting, Inc. can deliver. For over 20 years, Wild West Painting, Inc. has been one of the premier commercial and residential painting companies in Tucson. Contact us online or call us at (520) 668-8988 to learn more about our interior and exterior painting services.

Last week, D.C. published regulations interpreting the district's recent expansion of its sales tax base to include previously nontaxable services. Beginning Oct. 1, the district extended its sales tax to a motley assortment of services: bottled water delivery, bowling alley and billiard parlor services, car washing, carpet and upholstery cleaning, rug repair, health club services, self-storage and tanning.
In clarifying which services are now taxable, the regulations devote the greatest portion of their text to health club services. Before being overridden by the district council, Mayor Gray vetoed the tax on these particular services last July, calling it a "tax on wellness." The regulations, which emphasize that only charges related to physical exercise are taxable as health club services, appear to agree. For example, charges for lounge pool memberships (by contrast with those related to physical exercise) are not taxable under the regulations. Those who instead choose to get that sun-kissed look at a tanning salon will be subject to tax.
In order to preserve their tax base, states have increasingly looked to extend their sales tax to previously nontaxable services. In addition to those now taxed by D.C., popular targets have included such services as tattooing, waste removal, and pet grooming. While the relationship between these services may not be immediately obvious, they are likely selected for taxation as services typically purchased by households. According to Michael Mazerov of the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, economists generally agree that jurisdictions expanding their sales tax on services should focus on services purchased by households and shy away from taxing those primarily purchased by businesses. Among other reasons, this is believed to avoid the "pyramiding" of tax that might otherwise occur if taxes on services purchased by businesses result in higher prices of taxable goods and services produced by those businesses.
Continue the discussion on Bloomberg BNA's State Tax Group on LinkedIn: Prior to the district expanding its sales tax on services, the DC Fiscal Policy Institute proposed that pet grooming and performing arts (excluding opera) be included in the expanded list of taxable services. What other services typically purchased by households might have made the final list, but didn't?

It is never too late to introduce new traditions into your family. Through the years we have tried many things to bring us closer to Christ and the true meaning of Christmas. Some of the traditions have "stuck" and we love doing them year after year. Some things we have tried and have not done a second time. But, there is fun just in trying new things. I figure even the things that flop, create memories for our family.
A site called Tip Junkie is talking about different ways to keep Christ the focus of your Christmas and I really appreciate all of the ideas being shared. (New ideas to try!)
As I think about the short number of days until Christmas I feel the need to keep my own thoughts focused more on the Savior. I want to slow down and truly feel and see the beauty of this time of year. I want to be part of bringing a little more peace into this world and teach my children to focus more on others.
One specific idea someone shared was to pay for the fast food order of the car behind you, or the car behind you if you were driving through a Christmas light display.
Do any of you have an idea of anonymous service, little things that can be done day to day to bring a little more kindness into the world?
We would love to hear your ideas!
I think doing kind deeds for others on a daily basis may be the best tradition of all!

Ruth, I happened upon your blog quite by accident a couple of weeks ago while looking for a Christmas story for Enrichment meeting. I think I know you. I tried e-mailing Sarah at the address on the sidebar, but it bounced back. Is there a place I can e-mail you. I would so love to contact you. Thank you so much for doing this blog. It is so wonderful. By the way, I am a former member of the Northridge 3rd ward. We served in the Relief Society presidency together.

When Atlanta elementary students return to school for the next academic year, something big is going to be missing from the curriculum: the orchestra and band programs. The closing of the programs also means that a slew of teachers are out of jobs, as reported on the NBC affiliate 11 Alive.
"We (music teachers) were blindsided—when other teachers received contracts, we received letters saying we were going to be abolished," said Arthur McClenton, an Atlanta public school teacher of music for 27 years. "We didn't know. It just hit us."
By the time his job was eliminated, McClenton had been teaching at four to five schools a week.
MORE: The Influence of Music on Child Behavior
An Atlanta Public School statement said the district is "increasing instructional quality and efficiency" and "every APS elementary student will receive general music instruction—chorus, music appreciation, introduction to instruments."
Other reports, like from the Atlanta Business Chronicle, say that the district is eliminating 10 band teaching positions and eight orchestra teaching positions at elementary schools, meaning that some schools may be able to share other band and orchestra teachers who work for APS.
Still, the removal of such music programs is at a detriment to the students. As NPR reports, in a study published by the Journal of Neuroscience, researchers found that kids who took music lessons for two years didn't just get better at playing their instrument; they found that playing music also helped kids' brains process language.
MORE: Toddler Games That Incorporate Music
And the success of children who are engaged in music comes with some impressive numbers. At Harmony Project in Los Angeles, a nonprofit after-school program that teaches music to children in low-income communities, participating kids are going on to do big things, according to NPR.
"Since 2008, 93 percent of our high school seniors have graduated in four years and have gone on to colleges like Dartmouth, Tulane, NYU—despite dropout rates of 50 percent or more in the neighborhoods where they live and where we intentionally site our programs," said Margaret Martin, founder of the Harmony Project.
