This Guide is Under Construction.
I wanted to release it before it was done for feedback on the current chapters as well as to help those seeking to try solotop thresh
Thresh is a twisted reaper whose hungry chains ensnare the souls of the living. A moment's hesitation at the sight of his ghostly visage and there is no escape. He leaves in his wake hollow corpses, their souls ripped loose and trapped in the sickly green light of his lantern. The Chain Warden takes sadistic joy in tormenting his victims, both before and after their deaths. His grim task is never complete, and he stalks the land for ever more resolute spirits to unravel.Thresh carves careful, deliberate paths through Valoran. He handpicks his targets individually, devoting his full attention to each soul in turn. He isolates and toys with them, gradually eroding their sanity with his twisted, maddening humor. Once Thresh takes an interest in a soul, he does not relent until he possesses it. He then drags those he captures back to the Shadow Isles for an unimaginably dreadful fate. This is his only purpose.
Little is known about the Chain Warden's past, and many of the details live only in nursery rhymes and campfire tales. They tell of a sadistic jailer from centuries past who took great delight in torturing his wards. Patient and brutal, he used a variety of methods to break his victims' minds before their bodies succumbed to his grisly designs. Chains were the jailer's preferred instruments of terror. Their shrill scrape marked his dreadful approach and promised agony to those he visited. His dark reign went unchallenged until his prisoners escaped during a massive riot. They overwhelmed him, and without ceremony or remorse, hanged him from his own chains. Thus began the unlife of the horrible specter known as Thresh, or so the tales go.
Thresh now haunts the land, leaving an aftermath of horror and despair. However, there is a devious purpose behind his dark machinations, and the meager spirits of average men are insufficient. He seeks stronger souls. Only when he has broken the wills of Valoran's most resilient warriors will he finally have what he needs.
'There are few things as invigorating as taking a mind apart, piece by piece.'
-- Thresh
Welcome to my very first guide on MOBAFire Covering Thresh - The Chain Warden. As you read through this guide of a new way to play Thresh, I will show you The potential he can have not only as a support, but an AD Off tank, Top lane tank, or even an AD carry.
This guide is including 3 builds:
- AD Offtank/Bruiser
- AD Carry
- Support
Why not support?
Okay! I admit Thresh is probably the best role when he supports, and I believe he has the potential to be the best support the game has ever seen. Now let us take a look as his strength as a support:
- naturally tanky if farmed
- Has a pull/jump
- has a slow/knockback
- can help ganking or hidden allies get into and out of fights
- Has a shield
- Good pokes
Survivability, last hitting without over extending, good pokes, best gank helper in game, and great CC! What else does a top lane need!
Pros / Cons
+Amazing in team fights
+Great at last hitting
+Epic pokes
+Jungler loves him
+Rarely focused early in team fights
+Ultimate can win a team fight or let your team escape death
-Needs to farm
-Countered by gap closers like Xin Zhao's Audacious Charge
-Early game is weak
-Has bad MR
Greater Glyph of Magic Resist
Greater Seal of Armor
Greater Mark of Attack Damage
Greater Quintessence of Attack Damage
In Depth Abilities
The reason Thresh can build AD. This ability stacks armor and AP for more damage on abilities such as The Box. An amazing passive if you tank, or top lane. Just remember to take those souls!
- A good way to continue to collect the souls is by letting your enemy use their skills to push up to your turret, staying just out of the range. Starve them of the creeps and you can get quite a bit closer without risking too much poke.
Why top lane thresh can do so much damage. He destroys teams who builds health. A lot of the time, people who play Dr. Mundo or Vladimir play using pure health builds. If they have resistance it can be either MR or Armor, Rarely ever both. The hybrid damage you deal, can cause them to build more resistances and less offensive items. Maybe you wont be the main damage dealer, but if you can get your team to survive that much longer, then its worth it.
- Death Sentence Immobilizes you and your target during the pull. Use it in teamfights to either initiate or, if the team fight broke out already, to stop the carry from dealing too much damage.
- When landing the Death Sentence, Thresh will pull twice. Pay attention to the second pull before activating again. This can be the difference between them escaping and not.
- If you have a champ sitting under his tower, throw it at him but don't activate again. You can sometimes scare your enemy into wasting a flash.
- Try to wait as long as possible between attacks, especially when poking or killing creeps.
GANKS! GANKS! GANKS! I can say from my experience that most people are having difficulty with Thresh top lane either way. "Hur! Dur! He's trolling guys!" Once people start taking a bruiser Thresh seriously, they will realize in a 1v1 fight, before you farm enough for a BT, phage, etc, that they can win. You don't want to lose your lane, what do you do? Lets get a gank! A good ganking jungler, such as Nocturne, can get pulled right into the middle of a fight, and should be an easy kill.
- Couple Dark Passage with Death Sentence to pull your jungler for miles and miles!
- Don't underestimate the shield, it can shield your entire team, and it doesn't have to land on them. If they walk near it, they can pick it up.
- Zoned? Need to collect souls? No problem! Your lantern's range is about as large as a normal minion wave, and it collects souls!
Protect everything! Got ganked? Push 'em away! You are one of the hardest champs to gank in the game. They have to come from behind your turret if your not over extending. A gank from two people in the same direction, you just push them off you.
- Remember you aren't an ADC, don't pull the entire enemy team towards you in a team fight. Don't be that guy. Use it when the team fights almost over and you have someone chasing you or running away.
- Couple Flay with The Box for epic slows and major damage. You can save a turret easily. (I have had a 1v5 under a turret the outcome being my turret was at 50% health and 3 enemy champs down)
Damage, Slow, No escape! This ultimate is extremely versatile. Its damage output can be massive if used right and you have farmed enough, and the utility is ridiculous. To explain the uses of it in one guide is impossible. Keep gankers away, kill an overextended Volibear, protect your team from a bad 3v5 fight, Possibilities? Endless!
- Don't use The Box at the beginning of a team fight. Once the walls are hit, they cannot do any more damage or slow. Use it near to the end when enemies begin to chase or run away.

Hi Stephanie, I am new to your blog but will definately keep checking back... so I am not sure I am the one to give advise. My first thought however since your blogs name is "heart piercing life" would be for you to design a heart that you could use at the end of your posts or when you post on other sites... like a logo/advatar. I am sure that is not what you had in mind with heart piercing life but visual repetition is good.
Just a thought...
Love, Goldi

Okay, so I read this article about a new restaurant that I really wanted to try. However, I forgot what it was, and, more importantly, why exactly I wanted to try it. Perhaps my fellow hounders can help.
What I remember is this: it's in (or very near) Highland Park. Or maybe in uptown on McKinney? It's new (<six months old). It has either like a Euro bistro type feel or is kinda like a deli. I think I remember the sandwiches sounding good. If I recall correctly, its focuses (is that the right word) on take out as much as dine in. Definately stuck in my mind as a lunch place (maybe because their only open for lunch, or maybe just because that's what the food sounded like). I think I read about it on the Dallas Observer site. Seems like a one-word name, too.
Not much to go on, but your help is appreciated.

Calcutta, Aug. 30: Mohammad Rabiul slogged during the day, only to spend the night in chains in a factory on the edge of Calcutta.
The 15-year-olds crime: he was unable to repay the Rs 1,600 he had borrowed from his employer, Abhijit Poddar.
The medieval debt chamber came to light today when police raided a leather goods unit in Tiljala, on the eastern fringe of the city, after being alerted by the boys family.
Poddar, who employed the boy as a labourer a few months ago, was arrested on charges of abducting the minor boy and confining him wrongfully.
The boy was looking exhausted, frightened and weak. He was not even given adequate food, said an officer of Tiljala police station.
After the rescue, Rabiul, a resident of Kultali in South 24-Parganas, 60 km from Calcutta, provided a blow-by-blow account of the ordeal he had to undergo for over a fortnight.
Rabiuls nightmare began on the night of August 10. After a days hard labour, he used to chain both my legs and tie them to an iron bar. I was confined in a small dingy room, Rabiul said. He used to give minimum food twice a day. The dinner was two rotis and a glass of water. No one would come to me at night.
According to the police, the boys family did not suspect anything initially as he used to stay in the factory and go home only twice or thrice a month. He was supposed to return home last week.
Rabiuls family became anxious and started looking for him only when he did not return even after a fortnight, said Rajesh Kumar Singh, additional superintendent of police, South 24-Parganas.
Rabiuls elder brother Saidul Islam met Poddar but was not satisfied with the response. Saidul then went to Tiljala police station and lodged a complaint.
The boy took the loan to help his family members at Kultali. He had promised to repay the amount within 15 days, an officer said.

The Nashbar Single Speed 29er mountain bike is made by the Nashbar Company in Taiwan. Just like its name the bike has got a single gear unlike other mountain bike models that have a number of gears. Most mountain bike lovers are usually keen on bikes with multiple gears based on the perception that single speed bikes will not perform well for them. Perceptions such as this do not hold any water because there are many single speed mountain bikes which are usually just up to the task even more than those with multiple gears. If you take Nashbar single-speed 29er mountain bike for instance, you will find that even some single speed mountain bikes can also just work better than the multiple speed gears mountain bike models.
This cycle has become a darling of many cycling enthusiasts due to its versatility, strength, quality design, affordability and performance. What does this mean? Well, you will find out that the bike is light in terms of weight, works well even under extreme conditions thanks to its strong frame, and more interestingly.
Who is the bike ideal for?
Bikes are usually designed for various purposes and for different people e.g. age and gender. The Nashbar single-speed 29er is ideal for all riders who like single speed bikes that do not cost highly. It is an ideal bike that can be used for casual cycling excursions, commuting to work, and for urban cycling too.
Another good thing with the mountain bike is that it is so easy to ride. Even beginner riders can use this bike with ease.
Features Of Nashbar Single Speed 29er
After taking my time researching, analyzing, and testing the features of the bike I can authoritatively say that indeed it is one of the best mountain bikes in its category. Below are some amazing features you should know about it:
The frame
The frame of the bike is made from aluminum and what makes this even more interesting is the fact aluminum ensures sturdiness, durability, and is off course light weight. Compared to other bikes with frames made of steel, this mountain bike frame that is made of aluminum will not corrode easily meaning durability.
Another good aspect of the bike's frame is its design which is wide enough thus offering the rider more control especially during climbs and also when riding on rough terrain.
Its tires unique design
This mountain bike has got large tires that are 29 inches just like its name 29er suggests. The advantage of having large tires on your bike is that when you hit potholes you don't feel much of the bumpiness. Large tires usually work so well on rough roads as well as well paved roads and this is what makes it ideal for both urban roads riding excursions and also off-road riding excursions. Large tires used on bikes have also been found to bring about good traction thus ensuring a rider's safety when riding on rough and uneven terrains.
The fork of the mountain bike
The Nashbar cycle has got an amazingly hard fork proven to be able to withstand even extreme tension. When riding a bike on rough terrain and you know it has got an exceptionally tough fork you ride without fear of accidental fork breaking. Bikes that have tough forks have been found to give riders comfortable and smooth riding experiences and the bike will give you just this.
Braking system
This mountain bike has a very good braking system thanks to the idea of the maker to use disc brakes on it. Disk brakes are usually very effective in stopping even fast moving bicycles. What this means is that you can rely on its brakes in times of emergency braking! Another advantage of disc brakes used in a bicycle is that disc brakes usually work well in all weather conditions and will not slip like rubber brakes. Disc brakes are also strong and long lasting compared to rubber brakes.
Maintenance of this bike
The fact that it has just one single gear is its strong point with regards to the difficult maintenance that bikes with several gears demand. Mountain bikes with multiple gears need regular gears maintenance and without careful servicing the gears usually get faulty affecting efficiency. A single speed bike like Nashbar does not require changers, shifters, derailleurs all of which are usually prone to frequent breakdowns.
- The bike is light in weight.
- Features just single gear eliminating the hard work of maintenance that multiple speed bikes require.
- Is affordable.
- Is ideal for almost everyone.
- Is easy to ride.
- Has quality braking system with discs.
- Can be used both in well paved roads and rough terrains too.
- Is not ideal for riders keen on speed.
- Lacks the quick release axle on the rear wheel.
Final verdict
This Nashbar single speed 29er mountain bike has so many advantages. It is a quality mountain bike that is sold at an affordable price. It features great design making it ideal for almost everyone who likes riding bikes. The mountain bike can be used for both on-road and off-road riding excursions meaning that you can use it for commuting to your work place and also for tours out of city. The fact that it is easy to ride makes it a good choice for beginner riders looking for a bike that is not complicated to ride.

I once was asked to choose a single adjective that least describes who I am. I considered "fastidious," and "sculpted," and "dapper" and "conservative," but eventually settled on "spiritual."
I don't want to offend the many perfectly nice, earnest simpletons who believe in astrology or numerology or crystal therapy or feng shui or geomancy or, say, the healing power of labyrinths, but I myself scoff at that sort of magical thinking. I believe that if the human race doesn't extinguish itself first, everything one day will be explainable on a scientific basis (with the possible exception of the enduring popularity of those word searchpuzzles).
In short, I have managed to churn through the many days of my life without ever even considering consulting a psychic. That changed one day recently. I got suckered in by an ad.
It was a professional-looking sandwich-board sign on the sidewalk. This is what it said, verbatim:
Grand Opeing!
Psychi Readings
By Monica. $5.
The bargain price was definitely a factor, but that wasn't the deal closer. What got me were the casual, dreadful misspellings. If I was going to invest in a psychic, I wanted to be amused. I wanted a cut-rate psychic with spectacular inattention to detail.
(Initially, I had read it as "Opieing," suggesting an appealingly transformative process to return to a simpler time, and a fishin' hole.)
Monica's pad was at the top of the stairs, and her studio didn't resemble what I imagine a psychic's lair to look like. There was no dim lighting or hanging draperies or crystal balls. There were kids running around. We went into her brightly lit consultation room, and she asked to see my right palm, which she held. She said she was going to read my energies.
Monica was young and pretty, and I think I was partially wrong about inattention to detail because she favored the sort of decolletage that might distract some more distractible male clients from noticing any errors that might happen to occur, such as when she immediately nodded at my hand and said, "Four children."
I said no, I have two.
"I know," she said. "But you were meant to have four children." She said this in a meaningful way, as though she was disappointed I had not lived up to my cosmic fecundity.
She spoke very rapidly. There is cancer and diabetes in my family.
True enough! My mom died of cancer and my father was partly blinded by diabetes, however I must note that based on health statistics I have just pulled up, and doing some actuarial computations, it turns out the odds of both cancer and diabetes existing somewhere within, say, three generations of anyone's extended family is roughly four in five. Still.
Monica assured me I am going to live into old age, which I strongly doubt inasmuch as I have half a liver, intemperate habits and generally slothful, sedentary behavior. However, at 61, I arguably have already lived into old age, so maybe she was just noting the obvious.
She continued: I work hard but think I am not accomplishing as much as I am, I should travel more, and almost everyone I know who is not my family is my enemy.
Wait. What? She had just thrown this in at the end of a sentence!
Yep, she said gravely. They are all envious of me and wish me harm, and I must be very careful that they do not take advantage of me. Be particularly wary, she said, of people with an M or a J in their names.
That was it! The end of the session. I ponied up a $10 bill and told her to keep the change.
It was only when I got back into the street that I realized: "Monica" begins with an M.

Getting married on the beach doesn't necessarily mean barefoot and shorts. You CAN make your beach wedding elegant and sophisticated and get the added bonus of the amazing and beautiful natural background. Here are just some of the ideas that we've given to our brides to help them make their weddings exquisite and refined.
ACCESSORIES: Having just the right accessories in the bride's and the wedding party's attire can set the mood for the entire wedding. So, for a refined touch, considere adding some sparkle to the wedding dress, the bridesmaid dresses and even the groom and groomsmen. For the women in the party it could be as simple as a bracelet, a hair piece, or some gem stones on the dresses. For the men in the party you could add some bling on belt buckles, tie pins or even lapel pins. Get creative and put some glow and shimmer on. Make sure though not to overdo it, remember, if you're getting married in the daytime you don't want the reflection from the sun to interfere with your wedding photos. Glint and glitz is great but not when it interferes with your wedding photographer!
WEDDING DECORATIONS: A beachside wedding can include fine china, beautiful stemware and all the refined and elegant wedding decorations that are used in any other location. It just takes a little more preparation and planning. (That's where we can help you!). Decorate a wedding arbor with beautiful flowers and flowing baby's breath and ribbons. Use the glass stemware for you and your guests to toast and celebrate the event. Don't forget white linen tablecloths, hurricane candles, coordinating colours with chair ribbons, napkins, etc. Table centerpieces can range from beautiful potted flowers to seashells inside large glasses or glass containers. Name plates can be written on elegant paper anchored with beautiful stones or crystals or you can even use seashells that are then adorned with some sparkle and glitz. If it's an evening wedding you can certainly use lighting in the form of candles and soft electric lights to create a beautiful and glowing setting. So many ideas come to mind so play around with what will work for you.
FLOWERS:The flowers for an elegant beach wedding should not only reflect the colours and personal taste of the bride and groom, but they should also convey that feeling of luxury. Roses and orchids are most often used and in Florida many brides will also use Bouganvilla which is extremely beautiful, tropical and colourful. The flowers can extend to the table settings, the guests' seats and the wedding arbor but of course they can also be used as name plates, to outline the wedding walkway or any other area and they can be used as decor throughout the setting. If you talk to your wedding cake baker they may also be able to incorporate your flowers into your wedding cake.
MUSIC: Nothing says "elegant" more than beautiful classical music. Whether you choose to simply play the music from a stereo or hire a violinist or (as some of our brides do) hire a simple 3 piece "orchestra". The sound of a Cello and violins in the background, throughout the wedding, will set the tone for you and your guests. Take some time before the wedding to choose some of your favourite classical pieces. Don't forget to look outside the old classics. There are some beautiful new pieces created by today's artists such as Enya. Movie soundtracks can also be extremely sophisticated and elegant.
I hope that I've given you some ideas to think about. If even these ideas sound like more than you want to take on, you can make an elegant beach wedding even easier with Sugar Beach Weddings! But book early, because beach wedding days and locations fill up fast. For more, call Sugar Beach Weddings at 850-650-1515 or email us today.

Alex, now that he's in 7th grade, thinks school lunch is awesome. Last year, in 6th grade, he brought his lunch nearly every day. Not because of the nutritional value of lunches in elementary school, but because apparently they taste much worse. Now, the 7th grade he attends is in the same district, so I assume ingredients, recipes, etc. are all the same. For him, however, there is a distinguishable difference. For me, there is not. Most of the food at their school is not what I would call extraordinarily delicious or healthy. I hate to admit it, though, but I'm good with him finding school lunch 'ok' this year. I know that as a 'foodie' I should be concerned by the nutritional value and offerings; And, I am, I love the movements to improve the quality of school meals. I am 100% behind those actively working to make sure the meals served to our children while they are at school not only fill their bellies, but also provide nutrition.
But, here's the thing: If my kids want to eat lunch at school, it's fine with me. I've taught them about making healthy food choices. Yeah, I know when I'm not there, they don't and won't always, but sometimes they will. As they get older my 'remindings' will come to the forefront of their minds and they'll make healthy choices…Maybe I'm delusional.
What are your thoughts on school lunches? How are your kid's school's lunches and do they eat them? Please let us know with a comment!

You don't have to quarterback the university football team to a state championship to earn an athletic scholarship. Most major sports that field a team in intercollegiate competition have sports scholarships available. From women's gymnastics to men's track and field, coaches are seeking players to build a team around. Further, that leadership role often is accompanied by a full-scholarship.
The best time to begin searching for scholarships is before your senior year, in order to meet deadlines. Schools confirm that it is important to file financial aid forms such as the CSS Profile early in the school year. There are many sports scholarships that focus on less tangible qualities, such as the ability to lead a team, motivate others, and learn new skills rapidly. Take stock of your athletic abilities as you mature through high school. Athens State University baseball tickets 2017 may encourage student-athletes to apply via early decision.

Music is rubbish. it's the soundtrack to your life. That's why I'm not to sure about Dance music. can a beat provoke so much thought as a lyric. Does a splatter of a synth and computer generated booms and thumps really evoke as much feeling.
Don't tell me you haven't sat on the bus with your headphones in lost in thought head pressed against the window ignoring the world around you, focused on each lyric to a tune that you are convinced was wrote exactly for you and how you are feeling at that moment in time. Then you snap out of it and realise you're a sad bastard who at any moment might start pressing their hand upon the rain splattered window of the number 42 Magic Bus and crying.
Emo is ruining young lives up and down the country as teenagers everywhere tap into their already hormone strewn tipsy turvey personalities and start to express themselves further through torturous lyrics that 'get them'.
Dropouts and geeks of the world unite over floppy hair, slashed arms and over due homework.
Our bodies are capable of doing some very funny things when they're consumed by stress, memories and busyness. Let's take for example when my I-pod was stolen. Some thieving bastard in now the king of the swingers, skanking or chillin whichever you prefer.
I was gutted. I could have lost my fone and front door keys and been locked out for a week with nothing to eat but tuna, and it still wouldn't have matched the feeling of loss I felt for a credit card sized of metal and hard –drive. (Which incidentally I'd won in the first place, so there's an element of karma there.)
The point of this blog was trying to make some sense out of my emotional attachment to music and lyrics, whether good or bad. I think I'm just a big geek, off to find the next song I can tap my Dunlops to on the bus home from work, and scribble it down as one of the best songs ever- well in my books anyway, then I'll try and tell everyone else, and someone sed it sound like a hoe-down, and why were they singing like that and because it didn't have some anthem-like , sweaty indie club chrousand stuff – they just didn't 'get it'.
It's OK then I'll save this one just for me.
Chris Carrabba I blame you.

And in the evening she's a singer with the band: second jobs, plight or pleasure
In Britain about 10 per cent of workers have a second job. Possible motives for holding a second job are hours constraints in the first job or diferent utilities derived from the first and second job. Alternatively second job holding may reflect hedging behaviour in an uncertain environment. The holding of a second job may be triggered by changes in family circumstances or negative financial shocks. We describe the dynamics of of second job holding in Britain during the 1990s using panel data from the BHPS. Our results indicate that second job holding is surprisingly persistent over time. Negative financial shocks trigger second job holding but second jobs are not a measure to smooth labour supply over time. Hours constraints are of lesser importance in motivating second job holding that heterogeneous job characteristics.

About Ortho Tri-cyclen®If you've used Ortho Tri-cyclen®, please help others by adding your feedback. What would you tell your best friend about this product? Please remember that we do not give medical advice. That is for your local health care provider, who is familiar with your medical history.
Subj: Spotting
Date: 1/21/2008
Hi, I've been on ortho try low for about a year and 1/2 and somehow got ahead of my regular day. I'm ahead one day. Since then I've been spotting like a regular period. Is this normal, or should I see my doctor?
AskDocWeb: Spotting or breakthrough bleeding is not normal, please see your physician.
Subj: On, off and back on again
Date: 1/22/2008
I've been on OTC lo for a little over a year. In December I finished a pack and didn't start my new one for about 10 days. My period started with two pills left in the old pack and it was a very light period, which isn't that normal. Could the fact that I wasn't taking the pills for most of the period cause this? Also, since I've started on that new pack my nipples have been quite sore and have lasted for a couple of weeks. I've never really experienced this and wondered if it could be hormonal since I was on BC and then off of it and then back on it?
AskDocWeb: You should talk to your physician because you were off of them for ten days, which can cause several problems.
Subj: Terrible cramps
Date: 1/22/2008
I have been using Ortho T for about 3 months now. Acne is still the same plus, I have terrible cramps about 2 weeks prior to my period. Plus it's made me too sensitive and I find myself crying for any little thing. Also, my breast hurt throughout the month. The pain is still there even after my period. Should I try Ortho T Lo or is all this in my head?
AskDocWeb: This is not all in your head, you may need to change birth control pills if your symptoms didn't go away in the third month. Don't put up with all of these symptoms, speak up with your physician.
Subj: The lo version is not for me
Date: 1/23/2008
I am 24 and have used orthotricyclen since I was 16. It worked wonderful. But during the last six months, my doctor's office began giving me the lo version because they ran out of the regular. During my time with the lo version, I had no sex drive, breast tenderness (I hated when my boyfriend touched my breast, I've gained five pounds (my normal weight was always 108, but in the last six months I'm now 111), my menstrational bleeding went from five days to four days, I am always sleepy, my stomach is always bloating, my acne breakouts are much larger and deeper and have some headaches. The lo version is not at all for me!
Subj: Extremely moody
Date: 1/23/2008
I just had a baby 7 weeks ago, and I've been extremely moody towards EVERYONE and everything, I can't eat or sleep, I told my OB/GYN so she put me or ortho lo, and I've been on it for 3 days, I've gotten SO much worse just after 3 days. I don't know what to do.
AskDocWeb: It sounds like you need to consult with your physician for a follow up.
Subj: Acne has been uncontrollable
Date: 1/23/2008
Ever since I discontinued ortho tri cyclen (almost 2 years ago, taking it for 6 months)my acne has been uncontrollable. Previous to birth control I have had no acne problems. I've tried all types of acne products, have a good diet and exercise and do not smoke. I was wondering if there is anything I can do about it since it seems to be something that is off balance in my system? Help!
AskDocWeb: You might have a dermatologist examine your skin and find out what they recommend for your specific situation.
Subj: Having a regular period
Date: 1/23/2008
I just started taking ortho-tricylen December 30th and I know during the week of the green pills you're supposed to get a "period". But I'm just having like, a regular period. And I heard they were supposed to be lighter?
Subj: Expired packs
Date: 1/23/2008
I have been on ortho-tri-cyclen for 3 years and I recently switched to trinessa. Two of my packs will be expired by the time I get to it. Will it be safe to take it? I am mostly taking it for clear skin and a regular cycle. I am in a long distance relationship, so not getting pregnant isn't the primary reason I am on it.
AskDocWeb: No, please do not use expired medications.
Subj: When to start
Date: 1/23/2008
I finished a pack of ortho-tri-cyclen-lo, which I've been taking pretty regularly. I order mine off the internet through my insurance company, so went to order them with plenty of time for them to get here before my last pack was out, but for some reason the order didn't go through. So it's now 4 days since I should have started the new pack and I don't know if now that I just got my new pills today I should start today or wait till Sunday which is my normal start day? Is one way more effective than another?
AskDocWeb: You can't start on just any Sunday, the directions say to start the Sunday after your period starts.
Subj: Eczema on my breast, chest area and neck
Date: 1/24/2008
I have been taking ortho tri-cyclen for 2 months now and have had skin problems since I started taking it. By the second month of taking this I developed eczema on my breast, chest area and neck. I never had skin problems prior to this birth control and believe that it is the culprit. I was given this to try and help me through painful periods and have had no such luck. I have also been very bloated have lost weight and have been experiencing loss of appetite. My headaches have been more painful since starting this and am having them on a daily bases. Has anyone else experienced these problems? I am going to the dermatologist next week to ask some questions as to if this is possible.
Subj: Bad reaction to orth tri-cyclin
Date: 1/24/2008
I have been using ortho tri-cyclin for 1 year and 2 months. I have been receiving very bad pains in my lower abdomen, abnormal periods and I had a type of a-typical cells in a abnormal pap smear. I was told that I had one of the first cases of a bad reaction to the orth tri-cyclin.
Subj: Glad I'm not alone
Date: 1/24/2008
Well, I'm glad I'm not alone. I started taking ortho tri lo a few weeks ago....started breaking out and ran out of work in tears today...extremely unlike me. Looks like I'll be trying another alternative to birth control!
Subj: Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo reviews
Date: 1/24/2008
Hi- I just began using Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo last week. I have been doing well as far as I can tell. I am; however, experiencing diarrhea and some breakouts on my skin. Is this normal? I was reading some of the reviews on here, and I got a little worried. Do all women experience what they have? Do all women get moody? Do all women experience weight gain? Is there a better form of birth control to use? I have never been on it before, and they told me that this is the lowest dosage. Should I be fearful to use it? Please write me back at my e-mail address.
AskDocWeb: Sorry Abby, we don't have time to write individual replies. The purpose of this website is to share information about side effects.
Subj: Stopped taking the pill
Date: 1/24/2008
I have been on othrto Tri Cyclen Lo for almost 3years (I'm 20 years old). I want to get pregnant. Me and my boyfriend have been together for the 3 years I have been on the pill. I stopped taking the pill Jan 21st 2008 and I just started spotting an Jan 24th 2008 is this normal and does that mean I could get pregnant faster or is that the normal time I should start spotting? And I also have some cramping pain is that normal also.
AskDocWeb: Starting to spot within three days of discontinuing the pill is okay. You can become pregnant anytime after discontinuing the pill and cramping is normal too.
Subj: Had sex 5 days after I started
Date: 1/24/2008
I just started taking trinessa and am on my first month. I had sex 5 days after I started it, and after became aware it takes about 14 days to become active...I'm almost done with my first pack and I have had tender breasts and feeling nausea every now and then. Also the next day after having sex I was spotting old blood, now its not so much spotting, its a little more. I know these can be side affects from the pill, but I was wondering if I could be pregnant and what I should do exactly?
AskDocWeb: You might do a home pregnancy test first but see your doctor.
Subj: Acne with Trinessa
Date: 1/25/2008
A little over 1 week ago, I started taking Trinessa due to a severely irregular cycle. I have NEVER had issues with acne - but in the past couple days, I have had a significant amount along my jaw, and several other places. I didn't really think that an outbreak due to Trinessa would occur just within one week, but I thought I would ask just to be sure. Is it typical for acne breakouts due to Trinessa to occur within the first couple weeks? Or is it likely that this is just a coincidence?
Acne with Trinessa
AskDocWeb: It could be a coincidence but also, when you first go on the pill your hormones do fluctuate for awhile.
Subj: Forgot to take a few pills
Date: 1/25/2008
I have a question, I have been on Try cyclen lo for about 4 months now. I forgot to take a few pills last month, but for the most part I am punctual in taking them. This month I started bleeding one week after the last day of my period. This has been going on for a week now, and I am getting worried. Is this normal?
AskDocWeb: The more pills you forget the more likely you are to get pregnant. Please consult with your physician.
Subj: Thick brown discharge
Date: 1/26/2008
I've been taking Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo for about a year or more now. This past month I've forgotten to take the pill until really late at night 3 or 4 times. I just recently started having a thick brown discharge and I was wondering if it could be from the pill. I've never had this before, even when I first started it. The last time I had sex was 3 1/2 weeks ago and I've had my period since then. I'm just worried that this could be a sign of early pregnancy?
AskDocWeb: It may also be something else so please see your doctor.
Subj: Want to start a family
Date: 1/26/2008
Me and my husband want to start a family and I am on my last pill I was just wondering how long it will take for the Ortho Tri-Cyclen to get out of my system so my husband and I can start our family???
AskDocWeb: It is possible to become pregnant within days after you quit taking the pill.
Subj: Mix up in pills?
Date: 1/27/2008
I have been using ortho lo a year. Everything was fine, occasional mood swings, and some more depressive tendencies, some nausea. About a month and a half ago I took one less white pill and one extra light blue. Since then I have had terrible headaches, and an extra period... is this because of the mix up in pills?
AskDocWeb: It may also be something else so best check with your doctor to be on the safe side.
Subj: When do you get your period?
Date: 1/27/2008
When do you get your period with this pill? Is it when you start the green pills or when you finish them?
AskDocWeb: When you start the green pills.

I think he raised his stock with that game so maybe it's good for him that his tournament run ends on a high note. I'd still love to get him if possible. He was faking guys out of their shoes today -- he's got some Kemba Walker in him. Very shifty driving to the basket.
Yeah, I was right about Oklahoma St. not getting out of the first round, but I think your right, Evans couldn't do anything more to raise his stock after today. So quit while your ahead. Great game by Evans, and he answered a couple of questions for me. He got to the basket during crunch time when Michigan knew who was going to have the ball, and where he was going with it. He came close to single handedly (Don't know if that's a word) willing his team to a win. He certainly made it exciting at the end.
Credit to Michigan for not choking at the foul line when it mattered.
I don't know how Simmons and Saric will fare together, but I watched Simmons play a lot, including summer league, and he's a pretty versatile player. I guess what I'm saying is that I don't think Simmons would have trouble working with Saric, but Saric may have trouble working with Simmons, if that makes any sense.
Poor U. C. Davis. Their reward for winning their first game in the tournament is that they get to play Kansas...
Saric and Markkanen are different players. Saric really isn't a spacer, but more of a point-forward who's doing a damn good job at creating his own shot too. He's like a better scoring Dray, but without the defense.
Would love to see Philly go Monk and then go get Patty Mills in FA. Let your guards space the floor and stay out of the way playmaking wise and let Embiid-Simmons-Saric do their thing.
I'm cooling a bit on Markkanen for us with the emergence of Skal. I want Skal getting 35 MPG next season and locking down that PF spot. He's showing he can be a building block. While I freaking love the thought of a Skal-WCS-Markkanen bigs trio, it doesn't make sense to draft a "back-up" when there's so many talented SF's and PG's where we have giant holes at. I also don't know if I'd trust Markkanen or Skal at C yet.
I would still take him. Those three would be a matchup nightmare on offense. Defense might be a little tricky, but if he's BPA then just take him.
I think we have to wait and see who else is available. The great thing about this draft, is it's almost ten deep at the top, so were likely to have several good choices for a change. I would love for one of our picks to be in the 4/5 range.
I don't like Isaac for a top 10 pick. He just floats around too much for me. Doesn't get his nose in the fight enough and doesn't get himself into the action enough. Doesn't make enough impact on the game.
And I don't care if we have two Skal's, I'd still take Markkanen. To me, Markkanen is one of the least risky prospects I've seen so far; it's very hard for me to see him as a bust or even a disappointment. It's waaaaay to early to be concerned about redundant players on this team. They are just free-form protoplasm at this point and will differentiate themselves over the next couple of years. Also, there's always the injury factor to consider.
The french point guard is intriguing and it wouldn't be surprising to me if Divac goes for him.
From the two picks Kings need to come away with at least one perennial all-star/franchise level player.
I'm with you all the way on Markkanen. He's the only guy that really intrigues me outside of the first couple picks. I think he'd be a good addition to the nice young roster vlades putting together.
For a while now I've been wondering who would be a late bloomer in this draft. And maybe it's Devin Robinson of Florida, 6"8 forward. I just can't help but be impressed by his fluidity, his quick first step, his length, quickness to the ball, good rebounder, looks like his shot is good and has good form, and he gets into the action. This guy's position is obviously SF in the NBA. If anything, his team mates don't give him the ball enough. I've seen plenty of players that are ranked way above him that I don't think are as good.
Im high on Fox, his jumpshot is not broken at all, in fact it looks very smoothe and something he will improve on as a professional. Reminds me of a quicker Mike Conley(Conley's shooting was also a huge question mark coming out of college but his form was fine like Fox's). I think his game will go to another level with the spacing of the NBA.
The thing about Isaac is that a lot of the whole "he's too passive" criticism is a lot like the criticism Kawhi got at SD State. Both guys appear to be team first guys willing to do the little things to win games. This isn't to say that Isaac is the next Kawhi, I'm just saying that you shouldn't be surprised when Isaac winds up looking better as an NBA guy.
On the flip side, he could be a Harrison Barnes and never really take that next step but drafting Harrison Barnes with the seventh or eighth pick would not be the end of the world.
Fair enough, though I never did see Leonard in college so I can't make a judgment on that. I can only make a judgment on what I see, not what I don't see.
In every single draft we see some players in the top 10 of the draft be big disappointments. The hype just didn't match the NBA performance. So what players do you think are over-hyped in this draft?
I think Monk and Markkanen are over hyped. They would be fine on a team that's already fairly established with defenders but they wouldn't fit on the Kings. We need players that can do more than just fill up one column of the box score. Guys that can defend and hold their own on the offensive side of the ball. Monk is sort of Kevin Martin like with his impact on the game and Markkanen looks like a better version of Kaminsky, whom I don't really think is that great of a player anyway. I don't see the "it" factor in him that I see in Porzingis.
I think we would be much better if we grabbed a PG and SF that can defend and do some other things to help the team win other than just shoot. The Kings problem isn't missing open shots, it's getting open shots and then not allowing the opponent to get open shots.
I know I'm wasting my breath Kingster, but I've said time and again, you always have to consider the system a player in college has to play in. Isaac is doing exactly what his coach wants him to do, but that doesn't mean that's all he's capable of. That's why I watch so many games. If you watch a player enough times, you'll see different sides of him, and if there's hidden talent, it will rear it's head despite the system from time to time.
If you had watched Kevin Johnson play at Cal just one or two times, you probably wouldn't have know what he was capable of. He was forced to play in a walk the ball up the court burn the entire shot clock type of offense. Almost a four corner offense. But if you watched enough games, every once in a while he was say to hell with it and just explode up the court and score. First time I saw that, I knew there was more there than he was being allowed to show. I think Isaac falls into that category. He can hat the three point shot, but hardly takes any. He can put the ball on the floor and drive, but hardly does. He's not featured in their offense, and to be honest, I hate and despise the way that team is coached.
Isaac will start the game, and two minutes into the game, he's on the bench. For no apparent reason. Then two or three minutes latter, he's back in the game, and then two or three minutes later, he's on the bench again. He does this with all of his players, with the idea that they stay fresh that way. To me, I don't think they're given a chance to get into a rhythm. Strangely, he raves about Isaac whenever he gets the chance. Every coach is different and you have to watch them coach for a while so you can take his style into consideration when judging a player. Some coaches favor Seniors and Juniors over freshman, regardless of the talent level. Stupid, but that's how they coach.
Then you have coaches like my favorite, Jay Wright, who could coach a highschool team into the final 16. Unfortunately didn't happen this year. Just my opinion.
I'm going with Markkanen and Isaac. I don't want any part of those two.
Robinson's problem is inconsistency. He shoots a good percentage from the three, but he does it by shooting 75% from the three one game, and 20% from the three in the next. If he could cure his inconsistency, he could be a very good player. He's a player I might roll the dice on in the 2nd round, depending on who else is there.
I was definitely going to say Markkanen as an over hyped player. And I agree that Monk falls into that category as well, but not as badly as Markkanen. I also put Dennis Smith into that group. However, all three of those players are talented enough to warrant the attention they're getting. By the way, I don't know if anyone else has noticed, but Calapari is using Monk differently now than he was earlier in the season. Monk is the first one he pulls out of the starting lineup, and when he goes back in, Fox comes out, and Monk is playing more the part of a playmaker. He draws so much attention when he has the ball in his hands, he's almost always doubled. Which of course leaves someone open.
The downside of that is that he's not taking as many shots. But hey, they're winning, and that's what counts.
Man Lonzo coming here would be transformative. Best feel for the game in prospect ive seen since Lebron, he is elite in that sense. Plays like a winner, makes the simple play/pass and is a true floor general.
Lonzo isn't even on my draft board. There's no chance in hell Lavar Ball stays quiet about his son playing in Sacramento for 7 years. You know he'll be working to get him to a more desired market the second we call his name.
If we get the 2nd pick, I'm taking Josh Jackson, who I like more as a prospect anyway. If we end up 3rd and Ball is still on the board, I'm trading down a few spots and picking up a bunch more assets to whoever wants Ball.
I like Lonzo a lot and think he's a talented kid (although far overhyped for my taste), but I'm not willing to deal with the guaranteed distraction his dad will be for a franchise like ours.
Plus he definitely has a father, which according to George Karl pretty much makes him gold.
As soon as Lonzo is drafted, his NBA team would make his dad stfu real fast. Not drafting a talented player because his father happens to be a helicopter parent is a bad excuse. If Ball is there for us to draft, then we'll draft him.
He should be off your board due to the fact that we have 0 shot at him. There's a very slim chance that both us and Philly jump to top 3.
Ball is freeking awesome. He's a combination of an Einstein and Picasso rolled into a basketball player. These other guys like Fox, they may have more quickness and speed, but Lonzo is just on another planet when it comes to the creativity and brain power (not to mention his outside shot) he brings to the floor. It's incredibly unfortunate that the Kings have hamstrung their own draft with the restrictions they have on their #1 draft picks. If the Kings didn't have those restrictions on their #1, and let's say they were sitting at the #4 and #5 slot respectively for ping balls, their probability of getting the #1 pick in the entire draft would be 20.7%, that's ahead of the #2 slot and behind the #1 slot (Celtics from Brooklyn) at 25%. (Done by addition of the probability of the #4 slot (11.9%) to the probability of the #5 slot (8.8%).
He looks like much more than a 2nd rounder to me. If he's a 2nd rounder then we should come out with four NBA players in this draft. (two #1s and two #2s)
Unless we acquire another pick, we will only have three picks at best - NO's #1, Philly's #2, and one of our original two. Either our own #1 or our own #2 (more likely at this point) will get shipped to the Bulls.
Thanks for the info, I think. Can't this org get picks without being tied up in conditions and limitations? You just wonder if it's really going to bite them in the A$$ bigtime and then they might be more stubborn about getting unconditional picks.

A photography exhibition celebrating the life and career of British actress Audrey Hepburn will open at London's National Portrait Gallery in July 2015.
The show will chart her rise from West End chorus girl to one of Hollywood's most photographed stars and also document her later humanitarian work.
Classic images of the Breakfast at Tiffany's actress will be displayed alongside rarely seen family photos.

Whether you've just set your wedding date or have been married or in a relationship for years, having children is not necessarily a goal for some people.
Laura S. Scott, author of "Two Is Enough: A Couple's Guide to Living Childless by Choice" and director of "The Childless by Choice Project," tells Yahoo Parenting that there are generally five compelling motives in a woman's decision to remain childfree: loving her life and feeling that a child won't enhance it; valuing her freedom and independence; no mothering desire or maternal instinct; wanting to accomplish or experience things in life that would be difficult with a child; and not wanting the responsibility of raising a child.

Clothes have the power to define a person and a position, and though they are often seen as handicapping women in positions of authority, acting as a distraction from their achievements and substance, they can also be a strategic communication tool. One that is, ironically, more accessible to women than to men, who are stuck in a never-ending generic suit loop, forced to rely on the distinguishing characteristics of hair and tie color.
If in doubt, simply consider an exhibition that opened Wednesday in London at the Design Museum titled "Women Fashion Power." It has little to do with fashion as trend-driven designer vision, makes no aesthetic judgments and shies away from "power dressing" in the 1980s-Joan Collins-"Working Girl"-big-shouldered sense of the word. Rather, it focuses on image and authority in the public eye.

Audrey Hepburn was not beautiful. That was her firm opinion, at least, if no one else's. ... Luckily for us, no one else agreed. And for a too-brief time, Audrey Hepburn brought gorgeous, elegant style to a crass, hard-nosed industry that immediately fell in love.
"Class," Billy Wilder marveled. "Someone who went to school, can spell, and possibly play the piano... You're really in the presence of somebody when you see that girl."
But Hepburn was also, not just a cultured young woman, but a fine and unaffected actress — as a new Blu-ray set helps prove.
And the older she got — the further she left Hollywood behind — the more beautiful she became.

Some 21 years after her death, Audrey Hepburn—who would have been 85 years old on Sunday—continues to be the gold standard for class and glamour among Hollywood actresses.
... On the occasion of what would have been Hepburn's birthday, Vanity Fair looks back at some favorite shots of the icon: a collection of captured moments of the star from the 1950s and 1960s.

SAN FRANCISCO & LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--SEGA® of America, Inc. and SEGA® Europe, Ltd. today announced that The Creative Assembly, creator of the multi award-winning Total War™ series of PC strategy games, is currently developing Total War: Rome II™ for PC.
Encompassing one of the best-known periods in world history, Total War: Rome II will combine the most expansive turn-based campaign and the largest, most cinematic real-time battles yet seen in any game.
Total War: Rome II will sink players into the dangerous political machinations of Rome's senate, while asking them to struggle with family dilemmas and question the loyalty of 'friends' and allies. Leading the greatest army ever seen into battle will be just one challenge players will face at the head of the world's first superpower.
Will they help forge an empire? Restore the Republic? Or grasp the reins of power for themselves, and assume the hated title of tyrant? Who will they conquer? Who will they betray? Who will they sacrifice?
How far will they go for Rome?
"Our games have always encompassed a grand vision," said Mike Simpson, Creative Director. "But we're now pushing that vision at both ends of the spectrum. From the immense reach of the sandbox campaign right down to the human-level drama of a single warrior on the battlefield, we're aiming for an unprecedented level of detail and scale."
"In our 25th year of games development, it feels fitting to return to our most critically acclaimed era," continued Rob Bartholomew, Brand Director. "There's been a multi-generational leap in technology since the original game and we are ready to set another benchmark in gaming."
Total War: Rome II is due for release in 2013. For more information, and to view the Rome II announcement trailer, visit www.totalwar.com/romeII.

No team has dominated the Science Olympiad over the past two decades like Fullerton's Troy High School. The school has won 17 consecutive state championships and has won eight national titles since 1996.
That's why the team will be among the favorites going into Friday and Saturday's 2012 National Science Olympiad Tournament in Orlando, Fla..
"They have a very strong team year in and year out," said Ed Rodevich, California's Olympiad organizer and co-director. "Anytime Troy competes, they have to be one of the heavy favorites, just like they'll be this weekend."
Troy High will be among 120 of the best teams from across the country competing for as much as $30,000 in scholarships and other prizes at the tournament, which will be held at the University of Central Florida.
Troy qualified for the national tournament by winning the state championship in March at the competition at Canyon High in Anaheim Hills.
"Our students take this competition very seriously. They spend countless hours of their own time preparing," Nga Ngo, one of Troy's coaches said following the state tournament. "They have high expectations every year, and they don't rest on their success."
The Olympiad, now in its 28th year, is the largest student science competition in the nation. Last year's national champions from Solon High in Ohio were invited to the White House. Troy's most recent national victory came in 2008.
Competitors match wits in events that included launching bottle rockets into the sky, zipping balsa wood helicopters through the air and firing off miniature mousetrap-powered cars.
Other events include: disease detectives, where students recognize a disease in a lab and explain how it spreads; chemistry lab, which requires students to identify unknown acids using a series of experiments; and optics, where students show concepts of reflection and refraction using lenses, mirrors and lights.
Teams are made up of up to 15 students. Teams can only carry seven seniors, with the rest of the teammates coming from the other grade levels. Students compete in teams of two or three in each event. Top-scoring teams earn medals. Schools with the most medals receive the top overall scores.
At most participating schools, the Olympiad is part of an after school club or extra curricular activity. But at Troy High, the program is built into the curriculum of school's lauded Troy Tech Academy. The academy was created as a school within a school, attracting some of the brightest young minds from across four counties. Students in the program study computer science, business, leadership, engineering and architecture, and complete a 150-hour internship.
More than 180,000 students on 6,000 teams from all 50 states competed in 320 regional, state and national Science Olympiad tournaments this year. For more information on this weekend's event, visit www.scienceolympiad2012.com.

NYC councilman Jumaane Williams leads national push for gun violence research
- A coalition of city councilmembers from around the country plan to submit formal resolutions urging the federal government to fund research into gun violence - and a New York City councilman is leading the charge.
Councilman Jumaane Williams is one of at least 10 councilmembers nationwide who will ask the Center for Disease Control to examine the nation's gun violence epidemic.
"It's just an obscenity: why anyone would reject the study of violence?" said Williams, who organized the initiatives through his National Network to Combat Gun Violence.
"There really is no rhyme or reason." Congress banned the CDC from researching gun violence in 1996 amid pressure from the NRA.(Excerpt) Read more at: nydailynews.com ...
