Hi, dear wayfaringmd! I really love your blog and attitude!
I have a question about the really hardcore blood and gore stuff, how do you cope? Isn't the feeling of seeing all that surreal, weird? How do yo cope? How do you come back to reality? Is there really switch that you can turn on or off (emotionally, I guess).
I know you just get used to it all, but how was it at first? Are mostly all the med students just ignorant of all that stuff or what? Thanks! You're a really cool inspiration.
— dartadarta
Ok, before I answer the questions, let me say that you've hit on a pet peeve of mine. Many of the Tumblr Spotlight "medicine" blogs are nothing but gory pictures (which I tried to change with my little campaign, to no avail). It bothers me because SO much of medicine has nothing to do with guts and gore. The "hardcore" stuff is the 1%, and the other 99% is pretty tame. It is a rare occasion indeed when you see someone walk in the ER with a lead pipe sticking out of their check or a knife sticking out of their head. Only a few specialties deal with gore on a semi- frequent basis, and these blood and guts blogs grossly (see what I did there?) misrepresent medicine.
In medical school, I really didn't see that much gore. Sure, if you do an ER or trauma rotation you might see some nasty stuff, but most of the injuries I saw on trauma looked much scarier on CT than to the naked eye. Most of the stab or gunshot victims I saw had mostly clotted their wounds and weren't pouring blood. If you're lucky on trauma, you'll see someone crack a chest and do a cardiac massage. That's pretty wild.
You see guts on surgery, of course, but it's not what the internet and tv portray it to be. There's very rarely blood everywhere (and if there is, something probably went wrong). Surgical fields are kept pretty dry, so mostly you just see the pink flesh color of internal organs.
The nastiest things I saw in medical school were:
So after all those qualifiers, now I can answer your question.
If you do encounter a gory situation, you have to realize that your emotions do not help that patient. You have to be calm and level headed so they can get treated as quickly and efficiently as possible. On my trauma rotation, the med student's job was to be the recorder. People would yell out vitals, exam findings, identifiers, etc, and you had to listen for them and record them. It doesn't sound stressful, but it is very fast paced and can be a little nerve wracking.
But in that situation you just have to put aside your freaked-outedness and just do the work. Once the patient is stable, you can go in a broom closet and cry/throw up/pee your pants if you need to, but not before. Pretty much, yeah, you have to find your emotional on/off switch.
As for coming back to reality, you don't. All that fast paced, gory, surreal stuff IS reality. People accidentally get their fingers caught in chainsaws. They get thrown from cars and end up with their femurs sticking out of their thighs. They survive shotgun blasts to the face (really). That's reality. By the time you reach the point in your training where you're exposed to gory stuff, you've been slowly de-sensitized already. You see little things along the way that gross you out until you get to a point where you can handle them and the really nasty stuff doesn't seem quite so nasty.
Love it!
Great post, and quite accurate about the reasons why doctors turn off their emotions in the face of gore and carnage....

Since the trade of Carmelo Anthony and Chauncey Billups, one of the more interesting storylines of the season has been the Nuggets' success abandoning a conventional star-centric roster for more of a team-oriented approach. While there's no doubt Denver's transformation has re-invigorated the team by allowing more of the role players to shine at once, it's the Oklahoma City Thunder and their two-man show that's consistently outclassed their Northwest Division rivals and most of the western conference as well.
One day after being benched for the entire fourth quarter in a close game, JR Smith was given a second chance by head coach George Karl and sent a message through his effort on the court. That message: If you want to win close games, you better let me play. (more…)
If basketball were a semester of college drinking, this game would be classified as The Hangover. After coming off one of the best wins of the season against the Lakers on Sunday — just like a wild night of partying — the concerns of the after-effects were the last thing on our minds. But tonight, we were sobered up and pushed back into the realm of reality as the Oklahoma City Thunder and Kevin Durant reminded us that, as Prince would say, "Parties weren't meant to last." (more…)
After Kenyon Martin put back a missed free-throw by Nene to clinch the Nuggets 95-90 victory of the Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday, emotion spilled out of the gritty power forward in the form of expletives aimed at the silicone-infused celebrities strung along the court-side seats at Staples Center. For Nuggets fans, this was a moment when we vicariously said what we've wanted to for a really long time, and thanks to Kenyon Martin, we got that opportunity without having to deal with the repercussions.
In Arron Afflalo's first game since coming back from re-aggravating his hamstring injury, the Denver Nuggets withstood a scrappy effort from the soon-to-be Anaheim Kings to once again win by a comfortable margin. (more…)

Zamboni Tracks
Mike Modano
by Ryan Wagman
Dallas Stars
Signed C Mike Modano to a one-year contract worth $999,999 (Sep. 23, 2011)
C Mike Modano announced his retirement from the National Hockey League (Sep. 23, 2011)
After one sub-par year with his hometown Red Wings, the native of Livonia, Michigan (20 miles west of Detroit), returned to the Dallas Stars, the franchise he will forever be associated with, for one last day in the sun. The size of the contract was chosen in honor of the number on the back of his jersey for each of his 20 years with the franchise, including four years as a Minnesota North Star before the traumatic move south.
Modano hung up his skates with 269.2 career GVT, ranking him 36th all time. Among currently active players, the figure trailed only Nicklas Lidstrom, Martin Brodeur, and Teemu Selanne, with Roberto Luongo very likely to pass him early on in the 2011-12 season. The next highest active skater, Daniel Alfredsson, will turn 39 a few weeks before this year's Winter Classic, and seems very unlikely to reach Modano's heights. Alfredsson ended 2010-11 with 217.3 GVT, and even ignoring his poor play of last season, would need four more seasons at least as valuable as his 2009-10 to reach the total NHL value provided by the one-time Stanley Cup champion and three-time US Olympian. Modano also ended his career as the number two all-time U.S.-born player in the GVT rankings, trailing only the Ancient Mariner Defender himself, Chris Chelios.
Modano had a very unfortunate end to his career, as he suffered a fluke traumatic injury last November, severing a tendon and damaging nerves in his wrist. Some thought that would be it for the legend, but he was able to return to game action three months later. Playing on the bottom six of the mighty Red Wings, he rarely eclipsed 13 minutes of ice-time per game, contributing only two goals and five assists over his last 20 regular season games. Adding insult to injury, Modano was a healthy scratch for most of the Wings' playoff run, appearing in only two of his team's 11 games, one in each round, before the Wings were knocked out by the San Jose Sharks. Scheduled to be a free agent following the conclusion of their season, the quatrogenarian hinted that his career may be coming to a close, as the Detroit News quoted him as saying "If we go that far, if we get to the Stanley Cup Finals, it would be it for me." As it turned out, even without reaching that milestone, Modano hung 'em up anyway.
Selected as the first overall choice of the 1988 draft out of the WHL's Prince Albert Raiders, Modano can be counted as one of the great successes of the popular amateur distribution system. He quickly grew into the team's leader, joining the then North Stars for the playoffs one year later, after posting a phenomenal 105 points in only 41 games for the Raiders in his CHL send-off. He had an excellent rookie season in 1989-90, tallying 75 points in 80 games and a 8.9 GVT, but lost the Calder Trophy to Sergei Makarov, a 31 year-old Russian emigre. The voting led to a change in the rules governing the award, forever after limiting it to players aged 26 or under. In only his second full season, Modano played a key role in helping the Stars reach the Stanley Cup Finals for only the second time in franchise history, where they fell in six games to the star-studded Pittsburgh Penguins. Soon to move to Dallas, the North Stars /Stars, led by Modano, would make the playoffs in 12 of the next 16 seasons, winning the Cup on a controversial goal (off the skate) by Brett Hull in the late spring of 1999.
Although he never topped 100 points in a (regular) season, Modano was a consistent first line center, ten times surpassing a point-per-game. Along with Mark Recchi, who retired after the Bruins won the Stanley Cup this past June, Modano should sail into the Hockey Hall of Fame as soon as he is eligible in 2014.
Buffalo Sabres
Placed D Shaone Morrisonn and RW/LW Ales Kotalik on waivers (Sep. 24, 2011)
When Terry Pegula took over the Sabres organization, he proclaimed that his goal is nothing less than a Stanley Cup Championship. Of course, that is the goal of most teams. Unfortunately, many have the annoying tendency to damage their own chances by handing out (or acquiring by other means) multi-year contracts to mediocre veterans. Instead of seeing the cost as sunk, banishing the expensive misfits to the AHL, or to Europe, in most cases the teams carry the player until they are able to find another gullible GM who sees their own trash is his treasure. It takes a rare GM with both the fortitude and job security to sink a big cost into the nether regions of the sport. For every Bryan Berard or Jeff Finger, there are ten others like a Rick DiPietro or a Nikolai Khabibulin, a Chris Phillips or a Matt Stajan, in whom too much had been invested to simply discard, no matter how poorly and for how long they have been playing.
The Buffalo Sabres, in their first offseason under Pegula's ownership, had already made a few big splashes in the way of trade acquisitions and free agency. In early June, they re-signed RW Drew Stafford, coming off his first 30-goal season, to a four-year, $16 million deal. On the second day of the NHL Entry Draft, the Sabres helped the Calgary Flames lighten their payload, acquiring D Robyn Regehr and winger Ales Kotalik and their combined cap hit of $7.02 million, in exchange for a couple of spare parts totalling only $1.25 million in guaranteed income. For their troubles, the Sabres also walked away with the Flames' 2012 second round draft pick. Just before the start of the July 1st free agency frenzy, the Sabres traded for the negotiating rights to D Christian Ehrhoff and subsequently signed him to a monster front-loaded 10-year pact that will see Ehrhoff earning $10 million in 2011-12 while taking up $4 million in cap space for the next decade. The organization then made their July 1st mark by inking former Flyers forward Ville Leino to a four-year deal worth $4.5 million per year. The rest of the summer was spent in dishing out smaller contracts to lesser lights, leaving the team $3.087 million above the cap number in guaranteed money before the season was underway.
Removed individually, neither Kotalik ($3 million cap hit), nor Morrisonn ($2.075 million cap hit) were enough to get the Sabres under the cap. Kotalik, projected to be a depth winger at best, will be 33 years old by midseason, and has not been appreciably above replacement level since 2008-09, when the Sabres initially dealt him to the Edmonton Oilers for a draft pick. Last year with the Flames, Kotalik lost his spot on the team and was sent back to the AHL, successfully passing through waivers in both directions without a bite from another NHL team. Expect him to pass through waivers again, giving him another season in the AHL, if Europe is not an option. Morrisonn, a stay-at-home defender, has been scarcely above replacement level for each of the past two seasons, and only once in his entire career did his GVT pass the number three. Presuming good intangibles, he is not a bad guy to have as a team's seventh defensemen, but he will never be confused for a difference maker at the NHL level. A former first round draft pick, Morrisonn was out of place as a top four defender and only marginally more useful on the third pairing. He only appeared in one of the Sabres' seven playoff games last spring. While Kotalik may never see the NHL again, Morrisonn, especially on a re-entry waivers cap hit of just over $1 million, could find himself playing for another employer by the time the regular season begins, if not shortly afterwards, when the first team suffers a blue line injury stack.
Never expected to really make the team out of camp, Kotalik's excision does not affect any other job hopefuls, beyond improving the chances of meaningful fourth-line action for Cody McCormick and super-pest Patrick Kaleta. Cutting Morrisonn, who had designs on a third-pairing, or seventh-defenseman role, increases the likelihood that both Marc-Andre Gragnani and Mike Weber make the team. Weber, five years younger than Morrisonn, had more than double the GVT last year than his former teammate had in the best year of his life. Not only are the Sabres a better team today for making these cuts, but they now have $2 million of cap room to play with in case of emergency down the road. VUKOTA projected great things for the Sabres even with these two dead weights dragging down their overall level of play. Now, they are the "it" team of 2011-12.

Nashville, TN (February 3, 2014) —- Centricity Music's new rock band, Carrollton (formerly Mosteller), will release their debut EP, Breathe In Deep, on February 11th. The project features nine original songs written or co-written by members of the band who were joined by some of the most respected songwriters in Christian music, including David Leonard (All Sons & Daughters), Sam Mizell, Justin Ebach, Matt Armstrong and Josh Bronleewe, among others. Breathe In Deepwas produced by Paul Moak (Third Day, Matt Maher) and was recorded in Nashville at Smoakstack Studio.The first single, "Pass You By," goes for adds at radio on Feb 7th.
The band was formed in 2008 when Carrollton started leading worship at youth camps, conferences and churches throughout the southeast. The band quickly started garnering a strong fanbase and released their first independent album, This Is Life. Carrollton gained national recognition due to their ability to present songs that could reach the churched and unchurched alike. Their talent and success captured the attention of Centricity Music, and the band's first song, "What Child Is This," was featured on Centricity's holiday multi-artist project, Christmas: Joy To The World. The group is comprised of four band members; bassist Jordan Bailey, drummer Michael Loy, lead guitarist Jeremy Menard and lead vocalist/guitarist Justin Mosteller. Carrollton is managed by Eaglemont Entertainment (Jason Gray, Aaron Shust).

Action taken by Australian scrap recycler following its failure to pay $2 million in interest.
CMA Corp., an Australia-based scrap metal recycling firm, has been placed in voluntary administration after failing to make a $2 million interest payment to London-based steel trading firm Stemcor.
Following its entrance into administration, the company has appointed Philip Patrick Carter, Marcus William Ayres and Nicholas John Martin of Australia-based consulting firm PPB Advisory as voluntary administrators for CMA and its subsidiaries.
The decision to enter voluntary administration followed the company being unable to pay Stemcor, a CMA shareholder. According to an Australian Associated Press report, CMA has a market capitalization of A$1.4 million but "net debt of A$128.1 million" as of the end of 2012.
CMA operates a network of more than 15 recycling facilities in Australia and New Zealand and trading offices in Singapore and Chicago.

Turkish Food
The Turkish cuisine, which is one of the richest in the world, appeals to the eye as well as the palate.
Turkish food that is found today in Istanbul is truly a living synthesis of Eastern and Western cultures.
In addition to the many restaurants that serve traditional and international menus to satisfy the varied tastes of their guests, many nightclubs, cafes and bars offer fine menus along with a wide range of entertainment choices.
Kebab is a typical South Eastern Turkish food. It is a kind of a food group which means; meat down wit charcoal or wood fire.
The recepies can be with vegetables or very hot pepper, again depending on the region. Raki is a traditional alcoholic beverage made wit anise and grapes. It is called "Lion's Milk" by the locals, so give this combination a try in one of the many kebab houses in Istanbul.
You may finalize this feast, with the unique taste of Turkish coffee" Afiyet olsun" (Good Apetite)..

To begin with, I was incredibly fortunate to have had the honor of meeting some of the most distinguished psychologists of our time at the APA/APF awards ceremony…I also received a great deal of support and kind words from psychologists and scholars who reached out to congratulate me on the award… In a world in which networking is so key to one's success, I expect the recognition this award has brought to me and my work will continue to pay dividends for years to come." "I definitely encourage students to apply not only for this award, but also for membership in Psi Chi. Psi Chi is tremendously supportive of students and wants students to succeed as psychologists. This award and two research grants I also received from Psi Chi have facilitated my ability to both do research and gain recognition in the field, and I believe that doors will continue to open to me because of the ways that Psi Chi has endorsed my work."

A reasonably plausible crime/revenge action flick. Jason Statham is smashingly right for the lead as well as smashingly yummy. A pedestrian movie put together very well by masters.
— NightwingNoVA, DC Metro
January 30th, 201312:12 pm
In the hands of a different director, this would have been worse. But Mel Gibson already made "Payback" and this was but a variation on the theme. Where else can directors go with the graphic violence? I think AO was more enamored with Taylor Hackford's resume than the movie itself. The bad guys were caricatures, J.Lo was shrill, Patti LuPone was a caricature of a Latina mom, and way too much time was devoted to showing how bad the bad guys were. I wanted to feel sympathetic, but couldn't quite get there. I would enjoy watching Jason Statham recite the alphabet, but there are better movies to watch...at home. Don't waste your money. Better yet, read a good book.
— J Harris, Planet Earth
January 30th, 201312:12 pm
Good review. Statham's one-dimensionalness was known to me and I got more of it. It could have used more of J-Lo as she brought humanity to the movie. But I think they ran out of money as the ending was pretty pedestrian. Still, a good night out.
— Norman, California
January 28th, 20139:58 am
I went see this movie tonight based on this incredibly misleading review. We walked out after 40 minutes and got our money back. I don't disagree with anything said here about Jason Statham and I'm also a longtime fan, but what I saw of the film was a mess. This statement from the review, the director "knows how to pull off a caper without making a big deal about it" absolutely does not apply to the opening heist in the film or the scenes that immediately follow it. The cartoonish performance of nearly every actor apart from Statham is so shrill and exaggerated, obviously to underscore Statham's icy cool, that it was painful to witness. Not the mention the ham-fisted camera work and painfully predictable dialogue. Don't even get me started on the weirdly washed-out and blurry poolside flashback sequence.
Every piece of action I saw was overdone and mostly unoriginal. The getaway sequence was laughably over-the-top in tone and every word out of the mouth of Michael Chiklis' character during it was utterly unconvincing. So, buyer beware. This is not one of the great action films we always hope that will spring up around Jason Statham. I have no doubt that he made the most of it in the final hour or so that I missed, but the problem is that the world he inhabits and people he comes into contact with in this film are thinly and poorly drawn. Can't comment on J-Lo as she hadn't appeared by the time we walked out.
Finally, as far as slagging off Haywire and Killing Them Softly in comparison to this movie, frankly sir, you're stretching the limits of credulity. While not perfect, both of those films displayed a refreshing sense of economy, both verbally and in terms of action, and were shot with a much defter hand than Parker, which is just more of the same, tired Hollywood formula despite Statham's well established charms.
— Brad, Colorado
January 28th, 20139:58 am
Thanks, man. That is one ringing endorsement. Not that I needed encouraging. Statham is the man. JLo is the woo-man. (Was she totally terrific in "Out of Sight" with George Clooney, or what?) So I say yeah to Jason and Jen. Giggity, giggity, goo.
— Delving Eye, lower New England
January 28th, 20139:58 am
A terrifically entertaining film with winning performances by Statham, Lopez, Emma Booth as Statham's girlfriend, and an ever more gravelly-voiced Nick Nolte. Humor, sex, violence and action make it just about a perfect action movie. (a quick note here: so was Jack Reacher.) Go see it! And Jack Reacher, too.
— RT, Houston, TX
January 25th, 20134:07 pm
I am desperately hoping that this movie is a not very well disguised audition for Jason Statham to play any future Jack Reacher characters that might somehow come to the screen... If the current one hasn't totally killed off the franchise.
— TeriLyn, Friday Harbor, WA
January 25th, 201312:38 pm
AO ... you actually 'liked' a movie!! I'm gob-smacked! I'm going to see this movie today although nothing could have stopped me anyway because I ADORE Jason Statham.

If it sounds as though the script (credited to Ehren Kruger, Robert Orci, and Alex Kurtzman) was written in serial-novel form during an all-night mescaline bender, well, I have no evidence that it was not.
scott james
Well that explains everything! And these guys are considering writing Transformers 3 as well? Bay can stay, but these guys have got to go. What a disappointment...
Jun 26 - 09:53 AM
Tim Lewis
These are the same guys who did the script for this years Star Trek the only decent action film so far this summer.So trying to lay the blame on them doesn't make any sense.They wrote the script, Bay decided what to cut, what to keep, what to add, and how to present it.He made the final battle drag on for so long, that it became boring, the final battle became boring. They killed Optimus Prime, and yet there was no real emotional impact. And Sam goes to transformer heaven WTF was that. There was no emotion you never felt like the good guys were ever in real danger, and you most likely didn't care.
Jun 27 - 08:39 AM
Taylor Drake
*Spoiler*Well you may have had no emotional connection with the character. I beg to differ. The characters were weak but I found them no where near horrible same with the plot. I was connected when Optimus died. All the spoilers on the internet told me he would die. So I knew he would die before I saw the movie, yet I was still connected and teared up, and I liked Shia's character so I teared up for that too. You are right about the lack of any danger, but most movies similar to this seem to always keep the main character alive. It is just a trend that movies are taking on, they are predictable in that way. I had no problem with it though.Thank you for mentioning that Star Trek had the same writer. People keep going on about how that is that best movie of the year, but then saying how this one had a crap story which mad it bad. It annoyed me. I did love Star Trek. I like Transformers 2 more. You may not like this movie and that is your opinion. I will not bash you on that.

Were you expecting Citizen Kane, from the universe of toy robots?
Jun 26 - 03:23 PM
Matthew Dynda
No, but I was expecting a coherent story with less plot holes, and that's not what I got with Transformers 2. You Bay fanboys have some of the worst comebacks ever. We don't want Citizen Kane, but we do want a passable film that doesn't justify its mediocrities by stating, "We're just a summer movie! Leave us alone!"This is modern cinema at its worst.
Jun 27 - 04:07 AM
Mark Smith
What the hell has made you so Jaded? You think Bay gives a **** about what you think? He's pulling in millions of dollars Entertaining people, giving people what they want. A Distraction from all the economic bull****. The Movie is funny and makes light of itself. Why do you take this movie so seriously? Can't you see the movie for what it is? A fun, goofy and Entertaining movie
Jun 27 - 09:03 PM
Kenneth W.
Yes. 'Entertaining'. If it were entertaining, that'd be great. The only defense anybody ever puts forward of this is strawmanning by asserting that its detractors were expecting high cinema. The reality, however, is that people were expecting a decent action film and it didn't rise to that. If the critics are really too snobbish and elitist to appreciate a wacky action film, why do they praise "Cloverfield", "Die Hard", "Lord of the Rings", "The Dark Knight", "Inception" and to a lesser extent "300"? With the hundreds of millions of dollars it took to make this, why is it "elitist" to want something of quality for one's 8-12 dollars?

At FrancesRay Jules Salon, stylists shear, color, and straighten tresses, polish nails, and pamper skinscapes, earning laud as having Boston?s Best Waxing by CityVoter in 2009 and voted as best salon in 2006 and 2007. Expert hands style manes into elegant updos and brush Jules Makeup over eyes and cheeks before wedding ceremonies or bouquet-toss cage matches. Epidermises rejuvenate with facials, waxing, and body treatments such as an exfoliating body glow with sea salts and essential oils. FrancesRay Jules Salon's aestheticians wield professional products as they transform exteriors, treating nails to OPI polish and locks to Farouk BioSilk and Moroccanoil to leave locks stronger than a bodybuilding grizzly bear.
"All women are beautiful," says Amis Saab, owner of Amaci Salon. His goal is to enhance this natural beauty with treatments designed to make hair shine and skin glow. Drawing on professional salon products from Aquage, Pureology, and Redken, Saab and his talented staff of stylists correct split ends and add new dimension to 'dos with designer cuts and vibrant highlights. Alternatively, waxing and threading services remove hair that has overstayed its welcome on the face and body, and makeup applications help one stand out in a room crowded with one's clones. The contemporary looks that Saab brings to his clients overflow into his salon, where black leather couches accent white walls and modern salon chairs check out their reflections in thick-framed mirrors.
European-trained owner and biochemist Doina Mandrila and her team of aestheticians perform soothing spa services inspired by international beauty traditions. The Orient Essence Ceremony incorporates smooth Balinese pebbles and exotic oils into a relaxing massage, and the full-body hydration of the Velvet Skin Miracle mimics the thermal springs of the city of Spa in Belgium. The spa's luxurious facials slather skin in natural ingredients, such as dandelion and moisturizing honey. Staff also specialize in gentlemen's facials and treatments formulated specifically for teenage skin issues, such as acne. Waxing services customize or banish body hair, while massage therapy leaves bodies in a state more relaxed than if Mr. Rogers governed Hawaii.
For more than 30 years, master stylist and local boy Marc Harris has been whipping people's hair into shape, first in his flagship shop on Newbury Street, and later at two more shops that bear his name. His Financial District salon on Broad Street is a mecca for power brokers, as well as the increasing community near the ever-growing waterfront. Harris manages more than 100 employees, who go through his method of in-company training, which guarantees his chic, designer touch. Though the Broad Street salon looks small from the outside, the design of the long, airy room is deceiving; besides cuts, colors and the like, a full range of spa treatments are also available.
Stylist Jerel DeFrancesco believes that the idea haircut should reflect your facial features, not the latest trends. That's the philosophy he and his fellow beauty experts follow at Jerel @ 119 Hair Studio, a full service salon specializing in natural, flattering looks. Here, the team supplements haircuts with conditioners, straightening treatments, and nourishing oils that promote hair's health and shine. They also specialize in color, providing all-over tints or dimensional highlights. The salon's space is as timelessly chic as the services it provides?chocolate brown walls and a decorative fireplace create a warm, welcoming environment.
An air of refinement and sophistication radiates from Impulse Hair Salon's sun-drenched interior where billowy curtains hang above sleek, wood floors and against garden-green walls. Floor-to-ceiling mirrors reflect a row of black styling chairs, which swivel and rise at the hands of talented hairstylists who wield products by Moroccanoil, Joico, and Big Sexy Hair to cut, color, and style locks. A secluded room shelters aestheticians who free bodies from itchy stubble using warm wax, tailor pampering facials to individual skin concerns, and transform exteriors into perfectly bronzed façades using UVA- and UVB-free tanning serums.

Mac Miller & Waka Flocka Flame – Dog Pound | New Music
Waka Flocka and Mack Miller have joined forces to bring some new music. The two rappers have released the new single "Dog Pound." The song is pretty unique as it will not be on Miller's upcoming studio album. However, the DJ Dani produced track is pretty awesome. What else could expect from these two? Both emcees offered a very enticing track. Do not be surprised if you cannot stop repeating it on your iPod.
Stay on the lookout for Mack Miller's album Watching Movies With the Sound Off. It will be released next year. Click play below for a listen to the song.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
This is a very good plot because they could go pretty much any direction with it. Sylvanas has always been a very hot topic character (no pun intended), and the same goes for the Forsaken as a whole. Where they go with them will majorly impact the direction of Azeroth as a whole.
I'm just wondering how they can go anywhere very interesting without upsetting the current faction and racial balance that the game depends on. The Forsaken can't break away from the Horde, because what would all the players with Forsaken characters do? That doesn't leave too much wiggle room, which is at odds with the open-ended plot.
A lot of thought was put into this scenario. There are numerous possibilities for this storyline to take. Does Sylvanas defect? Is she possessed? Does Garrosh hotheadedly strike first? Does Sylvanas see the error in her ways? Does the darkness that Sylvanas saw haunt her enough for her to take her own life?
Personally I hope for a storyline fleshed out with the reemergence of her lost sister Alleria. The dynamic of Sylvanas' possible love/hate towards her living sisters, Alleria's single-minded hatred of Orcs, and Garrosh's dislike of pretty much everybody that doesn't serve his interests would make an interesting dynamic. It's worth mentioning that Alleria's return would more than likely mean Turalyon was with her.
Well, they need to establish her as going even further and then ultimately being discovered.
A friend rightly pointed out that the Forsaken are extremely, even fanatically, loyal to Sylvanas. They need to do something so terrible that those with a conscience would have to defect.
One real possibility is Lillian Voss if she's properly developed as a character. Her background is such that even if she does come to accept the Forsaken's claim to Lordaeron that she'd fight the forced subjugation of another free being's mind (Koltira) to be an act of war upon all sentient undead.
Regardless, I think they need to do a strong 180 degrees on Sylvanas or she's going to end up a raid boss somewhere as well as the Forsaken will have a new leader.
I'm already having a crisis of conscience concerning my Forsaken mage. The way I've always thought of her is as a nervous, self-conscious...well, NERD. Like Jaina, but without the good looks, connections and confidence. What is she gonna do with this new direction her Queen's taking?
Like others, I wouldn't be the least bit surprised to see Sylvanas as a raid boss, and the Forsaken with a new leader. Koltira, perhaps?
What if the Forsaken under Sylvanas did leave the Horde. Those with Forsaken players might have to come under a new leader and a new faction within the Horde. No longer Forsaken, but something else, and no longer under that banner.
This way story mechanics open up in ways that you couldn't have had before.

Rock of Cashel, Cashel, Ireland, c. 1100s
"The Rock of Cashel was the traditional seat of the kings of Munster for several hundred years prior to the Norman invasion. Few remnants of the early structures survive; the majority of buildings on the current site date from the 12th and 13th centuries. Cashel is reputed to be the site of the conversion of the King of Munster by St. Patrick in the 5th century. According to local mythology, the Rock of Cashel originated in the Devil's Bit, a mountain 20 miles(30 km) north of Cashel when St. Patrick banished Satan from a cave, resulting in the Rock's landing in Cashel."

Seriously, you're right that stats don't show the whole picture. This game was a perfect example of that - if one didn't watch the game those stats would look okay.
I prefer W/L record and low interceptions. I'd rather win than get style points for garbage stats. All this pretty playing can make you lose the war. Just ask the British if they won the American Revolution using pretty, choreographed fighting formations. IIRC, the Americans won using scrappy fighting with some ragtag soldiers.
Eff playing pretty. Hold your fire til you see the whites of their eyes and let's win some games.
We need a franchise QB, and neither of these guys (Mark/Tim) are it.
Even if Sanchez is NOT the QB we have HORRIFIC skill position players when compared to the rest of the NFL. I don't honestly believe that any team would swap our offense skill players with their own EXCLUDING Sanchez....
The talent level on the Jets is disgracful.
Oh and Namath a former NFL QB has an opinion at variance with some of you concerning Sanchez and his upside and you say he should just "shut up"......
Yea he should shut up when most of you have been WRONG in attacking Namath last year and his opinions; and Namath should be discounted when he has been about 90% correct when discussing the team and you guys attacking him were mostly wrong about him and his comments last year.
And you guys are actual fans of the team....
Again Disgraceful....

Anyway...Sanchez might well have a career arc like Jim Plunkett.

Really well written stuff here. Nothing like reading something from someone like you to keep an idiot like me from getting an ego.
Loved the setting, I'm sure most of us have had to deal with characters like the ones you portrayed, making it easier to connect with, and enjoy their misery.
As a more personal question, what's so bad about GTS City? I've been trying to get some more critique on my garbage and it was one of the places I considered posting it.
Author's Response:
Being well-written isn't the final word in fiction, particularly in erotic fiction. It's a bonus, true, but there are people writing totally awesome fetish pr0n whose literary skills are, to say the least, challenged. Gator, for example, will certainly never challenge Hemingway, but he is so creative and has such a great grasp of the material that we'll forgive him almost anything (like repeatedly spelling gargantuan as garganuine).
As for the characters, I admit to doing the same thing you do (like in your magical shrinking hammer-chair story), namely, use real people as a basis for realism. I don't, as a rule, lift people whole and stick them in a story, it being a rather rude intrusion into their privacy (although I've done it a few times), but rather pick elements from their personality and combine them with elements from other people's personalities (or my own). Feels a bit like playing God, doesn't it?
Regarding GTS City, I don't want to get into too much of the squalid background, but suffice it that on the subject of censorship, I am with Abbie Hoffman. (During one interview, Hoffman was asked by a reporter if it was true that he supported total freedom of expression. Abbie agreed that was the case, to which the reporter posed the question of the classic problem of someone shouting 'fire' in a crowded theatre. Abbie's response was: "FIRE! FIRE!") The City is also part of a much larger problem in which the SW/GTS enterprises which turn a profit from the fetish quietly silence anyone who questions their hegemony of the online community. I don't care to get involved in the ugly drama, but I also don't wish to tactitly condone their behaviour, so I boycott them. Authoritarians of all stripes enjoy the phrase, "If you don't like it, leave." So I did. And as a result, this is the first story I've contributed to the general weal of the fetish community in years.
The best way to get critiques of your work is to get to know other fetish writers personally. In the old days, a bunch of us (a lot whose names are associated with what has come to be known as "the classics" of the genre, like Grildrig, Chimp Howdy, Zotster, Sally Reynolds, myself, et al.) sort of hung out together online, mostly on IRC, and read each other's work with a critical eye, improving each other's skills and basking in each other's praise. Even if you get criticism here, it likely is not going to be in a form which is useful to you as a writer: "ZOMG, MORE FEET!" or "VIOLENT GIANTESSES SUCK!" is a lot more likely than criticisms around writing style. If you ever drop by IRC, I can almost always be found in #Shrinkingwomen on DALnet.
I decided to let loose a fetish to my girlfriend, Alex. She agreed to try it, but now I owe her...

Not exactly my cup of tea, but from what you have here it seems like someone who IS into this sort of thing would enjoy it. The characters are decently fleshed out, though I'd say using different language when describing things would make it a much more pleasant read. For example, having a female character who's a tomboy is A-Ok, lots of people like that sort of thing, but it gets a bit iffy when she gets described as having a male-ness to her looks. That tends to conjure up images of women with a 5 o' clock shadow, which I'm assuming was not your intent. Other than that, one thing that helps me a lot is to keep a thesaurus on hand to vary up your word choice, and keep things more interesting. While still not my thing, you do seem to know your way with writing a lot better than a lot of things I've read, and should keep working on it.
Author's Response:
I was trying to hit on a sort of androgyny that bordered on masculinity, but yeah. I can get that. And I do plan to keep working, just reading around right now to see what works in certain scenes and what doesn't.

First off let me start by saying that, while short, this was very well written. The only problems I had were with the intro. While I can appreciate wanting to get to the action part quickly, spending just a bit more time establishing setting, and your main characters would be good to lead into the rest of the story. It's normally tough to make a character seem mysterious, and not make it seem like the author was just lazy about their characterization, but you did that very well. I liked that the girl was never named as well, adding to her mystery.
Still, much better written than I had expected. Expanding just a tiny bit more on what's going on at all times, as well as the intro when establishing setting can usually help though. Once the actual action scene did start things progressed a bit faster than expected, but overall it's a good piece. Hope you do some more sometime.

Hey there, haven't read this yet, and I read your description, but I think for your own safety it'd be better if you could change this story's title and maybe the description too. At least so people are forced to read your disclaimer before fully realizing what the story is about.
