Running Apache and hosting, without a hard drive.
I am going to start hosting a web page for the kids from home as soon as I can setup a server(s). I have 3 Dell GX1 PIII 500mhz w/768ram. They have no hard drives. These will be dedicated to web serving. I have, to date, not downloaded the Pup yet. I am a newbie to linux, but am eager to learn. The kids are right now putting up web pages of about 70kb per page. About 2 meg of info. 5 web sites total (10-15 megs.)
I want to put an image on a disk, per each account, that when the computer boots it auto loads so that Apache server is up and running.
Create an image on a multi session cd so that when info is changed for the server content, it can be added to the cd. (Pre-configure so the kids can drag and drop web pages to the cd via Nero)
Create a RAM disk that the entire cd can be booted to. Including the HTML info( .html,.jpg,.php,.... ).
Boot, start, and serve simply by the kids inserting a fresh cd and restarting the computer.
Each kid will have its own computer, and Puppy ISO image unique to that computer.
Is this asking to much? Is this workable? Should I even try? Bad idea?
Good Bad Ulgy is welcome. John

Post subject: Live CD
I guess that's how the live CD works nowadays, just check your ghttpd folder in the desktop (which is really /root). There you will see the httpd server (that you can click to run). Docs are in htdocs.
(Pls do some searching if those files are in other folders, am away from my Puppy (pc at home)
So the files that you place in htdocs will be saved in pup001 (which resides in hard disk C if it is FAT-formatted). In WinXP-NTFS, you first get pup001.zip (see in version 1.01 folder) and unzip to drive C.
See the link below for some more discussion.

To start up the server automatically at boot time, you will have to add an appropriate line to
I had this working with the ftp server, and I assume it would be just as easy with an http server.
There is currently no Apache package for Puppy, so unless you want to try and compile it yourself you will be have to use either ghttpd(included in Puppy) or the Monkey webserver. Of the two, monkey is probably more useful, as it is more configurable. It is available as a dotpup and it's use has been fairly well documented in other places on the forum. I was going to try and compile Apache, but I'm very short on time right now. If I do it it won't ber any time soon.
If each setup will be on it's own computer then there is probably no need to go through remastering the cd. All of the settings will be persistent in the pup001 file. I recommend making a backup of the file as soon as everything is configured to your satisfaction. It is then a simple mattter to replace a corrupted pup file with your backup and everything will be back to normal, should you ever have a problem. With kids using the computer and having root priviledges(which they will if you are running puppy) this is a distinct possibility. I also think it a good idea to firewall the setup. You will have to adjust the file
Look for thes lines:
Insert 80 between the quotes(as I've done here) and then run the morizot firewall wizard.
Most of this still applies to your idea of doing it with a multisession disk, however it's simpler and more reliable in my opinion to just boot from the regular live cd and let Puppy do it's thing with a pup001 file on the hard drive. They will still be able to make content changes as often as they wish, which will be saved back to the pup001 file. I ran a server like this for quite a while and was very happy with it. There are also some very good tools available for web authoring already included in Puppy or available as optional packages.
Mozilla Composer (quite good if a little basic)
Amaya (more powerful than Mozilla but a somewhat clunky interface)
Open Office Web (via Chubby Puppy-everything and the kitchen sink)
Bluefish (I can't stress enough that this is THE BEST and MOST POWERFUL. However, it requires an understanding of html code to use, as that is what you are looking at when you use it. This also make it an awesome learning tool)
Depending on what goes into Barry's KDE package, there are some very good KDE tools for web design also. This is one of KDE's strong points(it doesn't have many)
Gimp is a great tool for creating web graphics. I actually prefer it to Photoshop for this purpose.
The computers you mentioned are more than adequate to run anything I've mentioned here, including Open Office and KDE. I really think you're going to love Puppy once you get to know it a little better. If you need more info on how to get it all running do a search on the forum for either web server or monkey web server. If you end up needing perl or php they can be had also-check the forum.[/code]

Post subject: Very excited!!
Wow..you are a well spring of knowledge. You make it sound so easy. Thanks for all the advice.
I'll check out that lil' monkey. I don't have HDs for the computers. I guess I could run down to the used computer shop and try to pick up some old 1 or 2 gig HDs. I will take your advice. Oh could I map a drive with he Pup to use our shared computer? It's where we keep our stuff like midi, pics, clipart. I could keep the pup001 files there in sperate dir for each account.
The computers will be behind a NAT router.
The kids are already using OOo the create web pages. The twin 6 year olds aren't coding yet, but the 12 yr old is. I am making them blog to help refine their writing.
This is great. I am very excited. I explained to the kids yesterday what I was doing and they want to get started. I guess all 4 of use are going to school.
Sorry about posting in the wrong forum.

Post subject: Amazed
I downloaded 1.0.3 and I was up and running ON the internet in less than a minute after booting. This is incredible. I have tried Slackware and Red Hat 9.3 with little luck. This is simplier than setting up 98 for the first time. I have to figure out how to connect to my print server but this is great.
Keep up the GREAT work. There should be a Noble Prize out there with your name on it. I have to beleve this is what Linus had in mind. Way Cool...

Besides GuestToo's response.
My impression based on acklan's requirements is that he will be serving static pages so appache would be overkill.
Please note that if the computer with the CD burner has different Hardware (mouse, keyboard, video) than the 'server' computers you will have to rerun the HW setup after configuring puppy and the website for each of the 'servers'.

Yes sir they will be static files. All 3 of the computers are Dell GX1. The kids will control them form VNC. So I don't intent on having a mouse, keyboard or monitor for them. From what I see so far there is not alot to do once you have configured the Pup. I still can't get over the GUI and how much control I have compared to the other two linux I am trying.

I was the guest poster above. Sorry I missed that part about the Xampp installer. I agree that Apache would be overkill, but I'm excited that it's available for those who might want it. I'm going to look into this and may be moving my own server back to puppy soon (I outgrew Monkey a couple months ago, but really miss everything else about puppy on this computer.)
Let us know how the project comes out. I think it's a great learning project for your kids. I'm considering a similar idea for my own kids. I also encourage you to get them to use some of the other programs I mentioned-especially Bluefish as it will teach them the code itself.

I agree. There older sister (12) is showing them how to HTML. This is our 52 in TV. The whole family works on the LAN together. It's fun when they come home and brag about teaching the teacher. (They are 6). Thank you one and all for your very good advice.

It must be great to have your picture here as "one happy Puppy family", which we will place whenever we speak about a "Puppy family"
This will help greatly the promotion of Puppy. Add a little story under the picture.
One 7-year-old kid I know who has used Puppy is already bugging the school teacher if they can use Puppy in their computer lessons...

The San Marcos City Council Tuesday approved an extension to an interim urgency ordinance it adopted last month that imposed a moratorium on medical marijuana dispensaries within the city limits.
The council extended the moratorium period for an additional 10 months and 15 days. The previous 45-day moratorium expires Thursday.
The move stems from the city's concern that a pending California Supreme Court ruling could wipe away local bans on dispensaries. The case under review by the high court — the City of Riverside v. Inland Empire Health & Wellness Center Inc. — is an appeal from a dispensary questioning Riverside's ban on the establishment. Trial and appellate courts have ruled in favor of the city.
City Attorney Helen Holmes Peak said the Supreme Court heard oral arguments on the case Feb. 5. It has until May 5 to rule on the appeal.
Holmes Peak said a final extension of one year will be available to the council, if needed, at the conclusion of this moratorium. That gives the city up to two years to create rules.
San Marcos has banned medical pot dispensaries since 2006. It does not have any rules in place governing where or how such establishments can operate should local control be overruled.
Californians voted in 1996 to allow medical marijuana use. Questions about how to legally distribute and regulate the federally banned substance have simmered since.

text: These exchange-traded funds and one mutual fund will soothe your nerves while sticking with stocks. By Anne Kates Smith, Executive Editor June 1, 2011 New exchange-traded funds may be just the ticket for jittery investors. These ETFs invest in stocks that shimmy the least. The one we like best is PowerShares S&P 500 Low Volatility Portfolio (symbol SPLV). Standard & Poor's takes the 100 least-volatile stocks in the S&P 500 index over the previous 12 months, weights them by volatility (the less volatile a stock, the bigger its position in the specialized index) and rebalances the holdings quarterly. Note that S&P bases volatility on standard deviation, not beta.SEE ALSO: Our Special Report on How to Be a Better Investor The ETF charges just 0.25% a year and uses the simplest methodology. Since its May 2011 launch, it has garnered $1.7 billion in assets and is by far the most liquid and easily traded of the new class of ETFs. True to its low-volatility nature, its returns lagged early in 2012. Through April 5, the ETF gained 3.9%, compared with 11.8% for the S&P 500. Top holdings include utility Southern Company, Procter & Gamble and Coca-Cola. Competing funds include the Russell 1000 Low Volatility ETF (LVOL) and iShares MSCI USA Minimum Volatility Index Fund (USMV). There are low-volatility ETF options for both developed and emerging markets as well. Advertisement Some actively run mutual funds tend to gravitate toward low-volatility stocks. Our favorite is Vanguard Dividend Growth (VDIGX), a member of the Kiplinger 25. It also lagged the market early in 2012, with a year-to-date gain of 6.9%. But its long-term record is superb.

You'll cringe, gasp and hold your breath. Just remember that your oxygen isn't running low
What do you do when all hope is gone? How do you keep trying when you know that no help is on the way?
Dr. Ryan Stone (Sandra Bullock: The Heat) isn't having the time of her life on her first trip into space. After training for six months to install her communications system on a satellite, she is awkward in zero gravity and nauseated in the vacuum of space.
Her situation gets worse. She's on a space-walk when debris from a destroyed Russian satellite rips apart the Explorer shuttle to which she's tethered. The crew is killed and she's hurtling off into the void.
The other survivor, experienced astronaut Matt Kowalski (George Clooney: The Descendants), is only a voice on the radio. Ryan has gone too far to see him.
Will she fight for survival — or let herself slip into infinite space?
A movie that will leave you breathless with effects and acting, Gravity is a tense look at just how vulnerable astronauts are. Director Alfonso Cuarón (Children of Men) is a master of building tension. We watch from the silence of space as the first pieces of shrapnel rend the shuttle. Next we see the panicked astronauts trying to survive the impact.
Cuarón uses the vastness of space to full advantage, showing us just how insignificant we are in the scope of the universe. As Ryan tumbles farther and farther into the void, her radio, the only connection to Kowalski, begins to short and she's left a rotating speck among the stars.
The IMAX experience is worth the premium prices, as Cuarón uses the full frame to paint his terrifying survival story. Explosions, fires and slowly dropping levels of oxygen ratchet up the tension.
Though set in the infinite vacuum, the story is surprisingly small. So performances have to be fantastic. Bullock makes a compelling lead character in the face of danger. Her performance is more impressive as she's saddled with a clunky space suit.
As the more experienced space traveler, Clooney conveys the cavalier cool that one expects from a person in a routinely dangerous job. Like fighter pilots, he keeps his voice utterly controlled, even when he's facing down a hail of shrapnel that's tearing apart the world around him. As Bullock's voice of reason, he's the perfect blend of soothing and command.
Gravity is a heart-pounding look at what motivates us to survive. You'll cringe, gasp and hold your breath as you watch Bullock and Clooney battle to find their way back to Earth. Just remember that your oxygen isn't running low, so breathe.

|Pak-Afghan border at Torkham reopened
|[Dawn] The Pakistain-Afghanistan border
...also known as Pashtunistan, home of ignorance, poverty, and automatic weapons...
at Torkham was reopened on Saturday after it was earlier shut down in protest over incidents of torture to Pak truck drivers by Afghan forces.
Afghanistan's ambassador to Pakistain, Mohammad Omar Daudzai, was also summoned to the Pak Foreign Office regarding the incidents, DawnNews reported.
According to a Foreign Office spokesperson, ambassador Daudzai was summoned to the FO in Islamabad and informed that these incidents of torture upon Pak citizens would not be tolerated.
The ambassador assured Pakistain that the Afghan government would investigate the matter and those responsible would be punished accordingly.
He also reassured that the Afghan government would ensure that such incidents do not recur in the future.
Pak security guards had closed the border crossing on Friday for the second time in a week to register their protest against what they called the illegitimate treatment of Afghan police with Pak nationals in Afghanistan. The closure of border also effectively stopped all supplies to Afghanistan and entry of thousands of Afghan nationals into Pakistain.
According to reports, the incident was apparently a tit-for-tat response after a group of Afghan passengers were meted a similar treatment on Thursday by some unidentified people near the border on Pak side.

As the weather finally starts to get warmer, more homeowners are considering modifications to their homes. If you're one of them, summer is a great time to do it! With contractors more readily available for both indoor and outdoor work, you may find it easier to get help for a reasonable price.
Renovations that add value
We've all heard that kitchen and bathroom updates add the most value to a home. In fact, even simple bathroom changes — like new light fixtures, mirrors, and fresh paint — can make a difference. kitchen renovations can become much bigger and costlier, so if you take these on, consider going ahead and investing in an updated layout if yours doesn't have the best workflow.
Don't want to tackle these rooms right now? Consider these projects that can also have a positive impact on your home's value:
1) Adding insulation
Not only will your home be more comfortable when winter comes, but you'll save on heating and cooling costs year-round!
2) Landscaping
Great curb appeal sets a welcoming tone at the end of each day — and it's a relatively easy way to increase the value of your home quickly.
3) Updating for a more current look
Wood paneling, popcorn ceilings, and old-fashioned wallpaper can be stripped for a cleaner, more sophisticated look that you — and future buyers — will appreciate.
Paying for renovations
If you don't have the full cost of renovations saved up, you can always consider taking out a loan. Horizon Bank offers some inexpensive options, including:
Homeowners Improvement Program
This is a unique loan option that may be an option even if you don't have a solid credit history. This program is designed to help you make necessary upgrades — like a new roof, windows, or furnace — that improve livability immediately, while also adding value to your home.
Home Equity Line of Credit
With a home equity line of credit, you can access funds based on the equity in your home. Because it's a line of credit rather than a single loan for a set amount, you can access these funds over a long period of time — making it a great option for ongoing improvements.
Get started!
To find out how best to finance your summer home improvement projects, talk to a financial advisor at Horizon Bank. We'll be happy to talk with you about your needs, assess your situation, and work to find a solution that can benefit you both short- and long-term.
Stop by your local branch, or contact us today to learn more!

It's no secret that San Francisco hasn't invested much money in bicycling improvements — almost nothing until the past couple of years.
But even those relatively small investments have led to a surge in the number of commuters riding their bikes in San Francisco. Over the past decade the number of trips being taken by bicycle have increased by 71 percent.
Now, bike advocates — and the Municipal Transportation Agency — would like to see what happens if they put some real money — perhaps as much as half a billion over the next five years — behind biking.
As part of a day-long "workshop" meeting (bureaucratic jargon for a session where big thoughts are discussed but no action is taken) on Tuesday, the MTA will discuss its bicycle strategy. The plan calls for increasing the percent of trips taken by bike from 3.4 percent of the total to 8-10 percent by 2018.
To get there, the agency will consider three approaches. All call for the city to complete its bicycle plan by adding 10 miles of bike lanes but then offer different levels of improvements. The most aggressive strategy would add 35 miles of new bike lanes and improve 200 miles, outfit 200 intersections to better handle bicycles, add 50,000 bike parking spaces, roll out a bike sharing system with 3,000 bikes and 300 stations
The cost of that plan, which would equal bicycle networks in Copenhagen and Amsterdam, would cost more than $500 million. Lesser versions would cost $60 million or $190 million. The problem, regardless of which plan is pursued, will be money. Only $30 million is available for bike improvements over the next five years.
But Leah Shahum, executive director of the San Francisco Bicycle Coalition, is optimistic, and pushing for the most aggressive version of the plan, figuring the funding can be found.
"We're seeing a lot of public support and political support," she said. "But we are lagging behind other American cities and even other California and Bay Area cities in how much of the transportation budget is dedicated toward bicycles."

I finished the PV Violets piece as a box. Thanks to Becky for the tutorial. I bought the box at Michaels, stained it and mounted the stitched piece on top. I love it. I plan to display it in my craft room. I think it is lovely.
Also, I finished a quick ornament from the new JCS 2007 Ornament edition. I needed to send an ornament as an exchange and thought this one would be cute. It was really easy and fast to stitch.
I am going to be quite busy for the next couple of days on the book, but I should be caught up by Wednesday. Then I can prepare for the stitching retreat this weekend. I am really excited about that. I need to organize several projects and also put together a gift exchange. I have a couple of really cute ideas in mind.
I hope everyone has a wonderful week.

Tucker's Dinosaur Pillow
I finished the pillow I was making for my nephew, Tucker. I used a really cute green fabric that matches the stitched dinosaur perfectly. I think it is really cute. He likes it also. I had taken it out to my Mom and Dad's house on Sunday to give to him, but he didn't come over that day. So, I left it anyway to give to him later in the week. (My boys ride the bus to their grandparents house everyday and I pick them up after work. Both of my nephews spend the day with the grandparents while their parents work.) Anyway, he found the pillow yesterday and was very happy with it. He loves pillows, no matter how small.

Prairie Schooler Autumn Pinkeep
Well, I finished a small project this weekend. I have been down in the dumps all weekend. Work was pretty hectic this past week and I just wanted to be alone and work on my projects. My husband was really understanding and spent most of the weekend entertaining the boys. I did hang out with one of my sisters and a friend on Saturday, but most of the week was spent stitching. I finished the pinkeep today. I am really proud of this piece. I even made the trim. It is very cute and very easy to do. The pattern is in the current issue of The Gift of Stitching.
Also, I picked up the JCS Ornament issue this weekend from Shakespeare's Peddler. I signed up for the stitching retreat that Shakespeare's Peddler is holding this October. I am very excited about that. Theresa is such a nice person and friendly. I can't wait to meet some fellow stitchers and learn some new things.
I completed another project this weekend also. I have been working on a cute little dinosaur piece for my younger nephew. I finished it as a pillow. It is really cute, but I want to take a picture of my nephew with the pillow. Hopefully, I will post that picture tomorrow.
Thanks for visiting my blog and all the really sweet comments. I hope to stitch a lot more in the next few weeks, so I should have some really cute pictures to post.

Violets to Greet You
I finished it!!! And isn't it beautiful. I love the fabric. I received this fabric as part of my Surprise Me package from the Silkweaver Fabric of the Month Club. The fabric looks like it was custom for this Paula Vaughan piece. I love the very impressionist look that the piece has on the fabric.
I have several other projects to finish, but I am hoping to start a couple of new projects this month. Last week, Sharon and I stopped by Shakespeare's Peddler after work. I picked up the Raise the Roof Design Santa Clothes and the specialty thread for it. I have a perfect piece from a different Silkweaver FOTM club package for that one. Also, I got the Sleepy Hollow piece by The Cross-Eyed Cricket. And, yes, I have the perfect piece of fabric from Silkweaver. Can't wait to start on those.

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Dec. 31, 2012) - Colossus Minerals Inc.(TSX:CSI)(OTCQX:COLUF) has reached mineralization in its secondary development. The bulk sample collection process has begun and all material is being assayed and sorted on surface on the stockpile pad. Geologic controls and assaying of material will guide the bulk sampling process which will lead to a shipment of ten to fifteen 300 kilogram samples to Met-Solve Laboratories Inc. in Vancouver, B.C. in January 2013.
The bulk sample location was modified as part of the Company's periodic re-evaluation of mine design. As previously announced, the plan incorporated additional development to provide for improved sample quality. The bulk sample will consist of approximately 30 metres of development through the mineralized deposit to extract approximately 1,500 tonnes of material.
Ground conditions are good and ground water flow into the mine remains manageable. Development of this secondary access point will continue and management expects extraction and sampling of the bulk sample to be complete within the next three weeks.
Claudio Mancuso , Chief Executive Officer commented, "This day has been a long time coming and is the culmination of almost two years of hard work. We are pleased to be entering a mineralized zone. I would like to congratulate all of our employees for achieving this important milestone."
About Colossus:
Colossus is a development-stage mining company focused on bringing its 75% ownedSerra Pelada Gold-Platinum-Palladium Project to production. The Serra Pelada Project is a joint venture between Colossus and Cooperativa de Mineração dos Garimpeiros de Serra Pelada ("COOMIGASP") located in the State of Pará, Brazil. Serra Pelada, located in the mineral prolific Carajas region in the State of Pará, Brazil, is host to one of the highest grade gold and platinum group metals deposits in the world. Between 1980 and 1986 Serra Pelada was host to the largest precious metals rush in Latin American history.Colossus Minerals shares, warrants and notes trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange(TSX) under the symbols CSI, CSI.WT.A and CSI.NT respectively and in the United Statesits Common Shares trade on the OTCQX under the symbol COLUF. The Company is headquartered in Toronto, Canada.
Forward-looking statements in this press release include statements regarding the timing and nature of future exploration and development programs that are dependent on projections that may change as drilling continues, or if unexpected ground conditions are encountered. The Company does not currently have any mineral properties that are in production or that contain a reserve as defined by National Instrument 43-101. In addition, areas of exploration potential are identified which will require additional drilling to determine whether or not they contain similar mineralization to areas that have been explored in more detail. Significant additional drilling is required at Serra Pelada to fully understand system size.

Cool Justice: Thoughts while shaving: Offensive speech, O.J. tactics, Adam Lanza's secrecy
This week I pay ongoing homage to the late and great Boston Globe sports columnist and editor Ernie Roberts, the progenitor of "Thoughts While Shaving." While Roberts actually shaved and thought, I still do less of both while enjoying it more. Roberts also reported on his breakfast and that of others as an introduction to a series of news vignettes. Today I am just chugging coffee.
CCLU now a force
Nobody squelches boring speech. It's so-called offensive speech that routinely gets suppressed, especially in some of the regimented factories we call schools.
Enter the Connecticut Civil Liberties Union's new force for free speech, Sandra Staub. Staub has racked up an impressive series of free speech victories, most recently in Wolcott http://tinyurl.com/cv4smpy and http://tinyurl.com/c5sj8jx East Haddam. She compelled school officials to do back-flips on orders banning a t-shirt with a political statement and a bracelet supporting breast cancer awareness.
"Public school students need to know that the First Amendment is not merely a theoretical discussion topic but a real and vital guarantee of freedom in America that entitles them to express their views," Staub said in a statement.
Before coming to Connecticut, Staub was chief of the Domestic Violence Prosecution Unit for the Northwestern District Attorney's office in Massachusetts and a partner at firms in western Massachusetts. I only wish she was around at the very beginning of Region 10's Famous Douche Bag Case http://tinyurl.com/4bsdq64, which was argued valiantly by attorneys Jon Schoenhorn and Marty Margulies months and years after school administrators suppressed public records, stole an election and banned free speech t-shirts.
Staub has noted that the broad issue of school bosses trying to control off-campus speech awaits another case for constitutional issues to be fully addressed.
O.J. defense tactics redux?
The best defense in a criminal case can be a good offense.
Ever since O.J. Simpson's dream team of defense lawyers and investigators went after cops, the tactic gained traction and sometimes results. Others preceded Simpson with the strategy, targeting prosecution teams and even judicial officials in their probes.
It can take years for many of the details to emerge.
Woody Allen - while under investigation in Connecticut for alleged sexual assault of a minor in the early 1990s - deployed high-level teams of private investigators to dig up dirt on state police and the Litchfield County state's attorney.
A top-ranking state police official told the state's attorney "that the Allen people were hiring private detectives to try to get some dirt on us." Allen's private detectives were compartmentalized, hired by different lawyers and subcontractors working for him. The private detectives included former FBI and Drug Enforcement Administration agents, even former state cops.
A retired federal agent who has worked both sides of the street recently shared this view: "One year you're talking to someone and they're on one side and then five years later they're on the other side."
One of the key targets for the defense in the Allen case was investigated for drinking, gambling and marital problems. After a time, that subject was found to have issues with handling of evidence. As one of his colleagues told me: "The pieces of the puzzle didn't always fit, but it wasn't enough to get him into trouble ... He did a lot of favors in Waterbury ..."
Cool Justice has been looking into an ongoing criminal case in which retired state police detectives have been helping the defense effort, formally and informally, directly and indirectly. Hint: The detectives worked narcotics. Their institutional memories, case work and experience are of great value to anyone investigating witnesses and others. Stay tuned.
Lanza secrecy blowback
Search warrants, affidavits, the inventory of evidence and other records about the Newtown mass killing of children were sealed by court order last month without explanation. This is despite the death of the killer, which eliminates the fair trial argument. No arrests are expected.
Normally, the records would have been released by now. What, then - other than authorities keeping the documents secret because they can get away with it - might be the purpose of keeping the records sealed?
In criminal cases, it is fair to say there are few, if any coincidences.
Adam Lanza, the killer, was believed to be a regular visitor of the Danbury Fair Mall. Did he go there to shop, meet someone, window shop or look for targets? Did Lanza buy his violent video games at the mall? After the killings, Dick's Sporting Goods at the mall removed all its guns. Dick's also removed some semi-automatic rifles from other stores. Maybe that was all corporate sensitivity and had nothing to do materially with Newtown.
Speculation about these questions and others will continue until authorities release the records and do their duty to inform the public. The longer they sit on the records, the more faith and trust in the judiciary will diminish.

Wanted: Weapons of Fate (PlayStation 3) review
"Wanted: Weapons of Fate falls quite comfortably into the third-person shooter mold. You can run up to someone and gut him with a squishy-sounding thrust of your knife to his stomach or throat when it suits you, but most of your energy is reserved for the exchange of flying lead as you duck behind destructible bits of the environment and hope that your aim is good enough to wipe out all of the thugs that are gunning for you. If you let yourself run out of ammo, the game can get very frustrating as enemies stand two feet away and pelt you with bullets while you hug a wall that you're using for cover and fiddle with the camera. There's perhaps no sound more frightening than the echo of a hollow chamber when you expected a bang."

As you drive down the gravel road that leads to Newman's Castle in Bellville, it's as if you're trucking down a time traveling trail.
Even the scenery seems to change to take you back to a storied time in our world's history.
Yes, there is a full fledged castle in the middle of the Lone Star State and when you arrive, owner Mike Newman makes sure you get a welcome worthy of a king.
"To get people to come out here and leave smiling is a good thing," said Newman.
From his cantilever catapult to one incredible drawbridge Newman built this castle on his own with the help of family and friends.
"Since Home Depot was fresh out of drawbridges, I had to build one of those suckers," joked Newman.
One might ask the man who owns the town bakery why he built it. His answer is simple.
"What else would I want to build out here," joked Newman.
Newman takes folks on tours of his 3,400 square foot castle he also calls his home.
"Since it is such an oddball and unusual thing for the area, I realized that people coming to see the place really enjoyed it. It created in them a sense of wonder and excitement," said Newman.
"Well I just can't believe it," said visitor Mary Ann Faykus.
Faykus had to see the country castle with her own two eyes and she brought her family along to feel like royal subjects for a day.
"He has done tremendous thinking to build this castle and it is just amazing," said Faykus.
The constantly growing structure has a dungeon, a chapel, guest rooms, and an incredible view of the kingdom.
"It's been enough of a mental challenge to keep me excited and interested in it so I haven't gotten bored and I'm still enjoying it," said Newman.
It may not be round but there is a 32 foot long table that you can sit at with 27 of your closest friends. If you're really lucky, Mike might even break out some his homemade Mead for you."
"You do feel like you are in a castle and you're visiting Medieval times," said Faykus.
It's been said that you don't ask a baker about building a castle or a castle builder about baking a cake. But in this very, very rare case, that doesn't apply.
Instead this baker prefers a much simpler life motto.
"Enjoy life, do the right thing, and be generous," said Newman.
Newman's Castle in Bellville a stop in time worth stopping for on our Brazos Valley Bucket List.
A tour of the castle along with lunch will cost you $15 and you can even attend a mystery theater at the castle. We've got more information about it and a link to their website below.

Figures also show that household incomes have not rebounded.
Florida's economic rebound has yet to reverse a stubbornly high poverty rate or grow household incomes pinched by the Great Recession, according to the latest Census Bureau data.
Figures released today show median household income and poverty levels were flat statewide and in Southwest Florida during 2012 compared with the previous year.
Florida's poverty rate of 17.1 percent in 2012 remained among the highest in the nation. Poverty in Sarasota and Manatee counties was still roughly 50 percent greater last year than during the height of the real estate boom.
Meanwhile, household income declined 10 percent locally during the recession and has yet to bounce back.
Economists point to the relatively slow pace of the economic recovery through 2012 in explaining the data. One of Florida's main economic drivers — the housing market — only began to pick up in the second half of 2012 and early 2013.
With the recovery expected to build through the end of this year and into 2014, the benefits should start to be more broadly felt, said Mekael Teshome, an economist who tracks the Florida market for PNC Financial Services Group.
But poverty and median household income are not expected to return to pre-recession levels soon. It could take years of solid job growth to compensate for the severe downturn.
"It's going to be a slow climb but it will get better," Teshome said. "We are moving in the right direction."
While wealthy new retirees could help boost median income levels locally, most Florida communities have struggled to attract the type of industries that could lift average salaries. Teshome does not expect that to change, noting: "It's difficult to create a different mix of jobs."
But as the economic recovery builds and the job market improves, average wages should rise.
"Step one is to absorb all that excess labor," Teshome said. "As the labor market tightens we'll see wage pressure going up."
Falling income
Southwest Florida's red-hot housing market provided a major boost to income levels during the real estate boom years, with everyone from real estate agents to builders and mortgage brokers cashing in.
Median household income hit $52,996 in Manatee County and $53,796 in Sarasota County in 2007 before falling with the onset of the global recession.
Sarasota County's median household income was $48,035 last year; Manatee County's was $47,474.
As income fell, poverty worsened.
The Census Bureau reported that 12.4 percent of Sarasota County residents lived below the poverty line in 2012, compared with 7.9 percent in 2007. In Manatee County, 15.4 percent of residents lived in poverty, compared with 10.7 percent five years earlier.
One bright spot in the census data: The number of people without health insurance in Manatee County dropped from 20.2 percent to 17.6 percent between 2011 and 2012, a significant one-year decline.
Social service providers say demand for services such as rental and utility assistance has at least stabilized.
"I don't think it has gotten worse but it also hasn't gotten any better," said Rose Chapman, director of Jewish Family & Children's Service of Sarasota-Manatee.
Chapman was approached recently by a volunteer who had spent the day fielding phone calls from struggling families. The volunteer was frustrated by the number of calls for help: 55 in one day. Many of the families were added to a waiting list. It currently takes four to six weeks to get help from JFCS.
"It hasn't let up, Chapman said. "The economy may be better for some people but that doesn't mean everyone is benefiting."
David Sutton, director of social services at the Sarasota Salvation Army, said he has noticed more working people seeking meals.
People may be finding jobs, but it's often low-paying work in the service industry.
"There's a stretch between the wages and the cost to live," Sutton said. "Particularly in Sarasota."

He's still got eligibility, but - fuck that. There's always the possibility of the CFL, or even the struggling UFL (if he wants to spend a year with NFL-quality coaching, which isn't a bad idea.) But most likely Terrelle Pryor wants to get the hell out of dodge and go right to the NFL. He stuck around to protect the man who was protecting him, and now that that commitment is gone, it's supplemental draft time. His "spokesman" said as much. But what the hell happens in a supplemental draft? No one knows. Actually, no, it's pretty simple, but we only care about it on rare occasions like these.
So which team will draft Terrelle Pryor? The short answer is: whoever wants him badly enough.
Eliminate the teams that don't need a quarterback. (Probably. Pryor's one of those guys whose size and speed cause some personnel departments to project them at other positions, even though that never works out.) Everyone else has the option of "bidding" on Pryor. It's a secret bid, where no one knows what the other teams are offering. And the teams are bidding with, essentially, their 2012 draft picks.
For example, last year the Bears bid a 7th round pick on Harvey Unga, and since that was the highest any team told they league they would select him, they won his rights. In last month's draft, the Bears forfeited their 7th round pick. So if someone wants Pryor, they're going to have to decide what they're willing to give up next spring.
In a normal draft, Pryor projects as a mid-round pick. But because any teams looking for a bargain won't know how high the other bidders are willing to go, the uncertainty will drive the final price up. Sometimes it works out (Cris Carter), sometimes it doesn't (The Boz).
And don't expect the Panthers to run an A-11 with two QBs, because they don't receive the first shot just because they had the worst record last year. The tiebreaking order on bids is weighted by records, but with an element of randomness. The Panthers have the same odds at getting first crack as the 12 other teams with six or fewer wins in 2010.
Of course this is all dependent on the NFL even having a season. They're planning on still holding a supplemental draft whether the lockout is on or off, but the rules on signing bonuses may be up in the air. And if we know Terrelle Pryor, we know he's about getting paid now, not later.

Yet when it came to two categories that really mattered, the Reds clearly outmatched them: errors and the final score.
It's tough to describe how agonizing that game was tonight. In no way, shape, or form did the Reds deserve to win that game. We outhit them, and even though Lincecum didn't have his best stuff tonight, he certainly was better on the hill than Bailey. Yet two things that have been our strong points this year (defense and the bullpen) totally laid ducks tonight. I mean, five errors! Are you freaking kidding me? What an absolute joke. I seriously wish now Travis Ishikawa could solve whatever hitting funk he is in, mainly because Garko is a sub par glove at first base to put it kindly. Furthermore, Renteria is becoming more and more exposed without Ishikawa bailing him out on his consistently errant throws. Seriously, whatever you have to do to hit the ball Ishi, do it! We need your freaking glove out there!
Now, I normally don't like to blame Bochy or the managers for losses, but I'm seriously angry over this blunder: why the hell do you take out Jeremey Affeldt for Sergio Romo? Why are managers so enamored with this righty-lefty thing? And seriously, why did Bochy pull the trigger on Affeldt so fast? He only faced one freaking batter, and do you seriously think Romo is going to shut the door on the four-six holes any better than Affeldt? Man, I just can't understand Bochy's reasoning. I understand Affeldt's control is off, I understand he walked the leadoff hitter, and I understand most of the lineup was right-handed, but why would you put in Affeldt to just face one batter? He's your best reliever Bochy! Come on. Even the bleacher bums in left field knew that decision was idiotic.
To look at this positively, all I can say is the Giants offense looks great. Sans a dumb baserunning error by Fred Lewis, I really thought the Giants lineup came to play today at the plate. They had a lot of good at-bats, Eugenio Velez continues to be a great leadoff guy, and Pablo continues to be Pablo at the dish. Basically, these kind of games are going to happen. You're best pitcher isn't going to have his best stuff, the defense is going to fail you every now and then, your bullpen is going to self-destruct. It happens. The good thing? The offense doesn't seem to be letting up, and I think that bodes well into tomorrow. Sure, this loss was soul-crushing, but the Reds and the Giants knew that Baker's boys got really damn lucky in this game. They know they will be hardpressed to pull off another victory like this.
Even though a sweep would have been nice, we still can take this series. I was not impressed at all with the Reds. They got out-of-the butt performances from an over-the-hill, "How is he still playing" Alex Gonzalez, and a "Seriously he sucks, because I saw him suck on a daily basis in Seattle" Wladimir Balentein, both guys hitting under .200 going into the game. Votto did relatively nothing at the dish, and Phillips had some good hits, but got some lucky sprays as well. This was just a bad-break game. It happens, you move on, as hard as it is.
As long as the offense continues its ways, I think we will be fine and this game should not drive San Francisco fans into panic mode. We did what we could offensively tonight, only we didn't do the other things to win. Hopefully the boys understand that, and are able to put a complete game together on both offense and defense, and not just at the plate tomorrow and Sunday.
Postgame box notes:
Winning pitcher: Dave Weathers (3-3) 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 1 SO.
Losing pitcher: Brian Wilson (3-5) 1 IP, 2 H, 4 R, 1 ER, 3 BB, 0 SO.
Giants standouts: Eugenio Velez, 2-for-5, HR (2). Pablo Sandoval, 2-for-4. Bengie Molina, HR (12). Fred Lewis, 2B (15).
Reds standouts: Alex Gonzalez, 2-for-4. Brandon Phillips, 2-for-4, 2B (18). Scott Rolen, 2B (1). Wladimir Balentien, 2-for-3.
Probable starters for next game: Arroyo (10-10) vs. Zito (7-10).

New Milford area holds up under snowfall
NEW MILFORD -- Greater New Milford bore the brunt of the storm well.
Public works and highway crews in the seven area towns reported that all major roads were open early Saturday, and a full opening of secondary roads was anticipated by early evening.
Connecticut Light & Power reported no power outages as of 12:30 p.m. in New Milford, Washington, Warren, Roxbury, Bridgewater, or Kent. However, with the high winds, Sherman was experiencing 10 percent outages.
"We calculate we had some 12 inches of snow in town, but its difficult to say exactly, with drifting," said New Milford Public Works Director Mike Zarba. "All of the Main roads are open and we're working on secondary roads now. Every road has had at least one pass by the plows. When the final roads are opened, crews will begin pushing snow back off the sides of all of the roads. Right now, the passageways may seem a bit narrower to drivers."
Mr. Zarba and New Milford Mayor Pat Murphy encouraged residents to heed Gov. Dannel P. Malloy's road closure for all roads in Connecticut. The governor's ban on driving remains in effect until further notice.
"The public works crews have been doing a great job," Ms. Murphy said. "We haven't had any real incidents."
A parking ban remained in effect in New Milford on Saturday afternoon. Officials expected the downtown area to be plowed by 6 p.m., but Zarba said parking would still be limited.
The Big Y and Stop & Shop supermarkets in New Milford were both open Saturday for emergency supplies.
In Sherman, First Selectman Clay Cope lauded the town's public works personnel for doing an "outstanding job."
"Our roads are clear. Our guys were out all night," Mr. Cope said at 11:50 a.m. "Our fire house was open all night with our volunteers on hand."
Other than "a few fender-benders" Sherman had no incidents that emergency crews had to respond to, Mr. Cope said.
The IGA Market in Sherman was also open Saturday. Its owner, Michael Luizi, sent breakfast out to the public works crew.
"Mike put a big pile of breakfast sandwiches in my hands to take to the crew when I stopped in this morning," Mr. Cope said. "Everybody's come through in this storm."
Businesses in Roxbury were all closed Saturday, including the post office, Roxbury Market, Union Savings Bank and the Minor Library.

A dredge removes sediment from the channel at the Coast Guard pier in Alameda, California, to ensure enough depth to accommodate the NSCs now based there. U.S. Coast Guard photo.
The Asset Project Office's Cutter Transition Division took custody of the decommissioned 110-foot patrol boats Staten Island and Jefferson Island Oct. 17, 2014, and achieved initial operational capability Oct. 27, 2014.
A new cutter, boat or aircraft cannot aid frontline operators in executing their missions for long if it does not have a pier to moor it or hangar to house it, as well as adequate infrastructure to support it.
As part of the Acquisition Logistics program, the Major Acquisition Systems Infrastructure program closely collaborates with the Coast Guard's acquisition programs as well as other offices in the service to help ensure that new or upgraded facilities are ready to accommodate new assets delivered under the service's broad acquisition portfolio.
The MASI program provides resources to address the facilities needs associated with the acquisition of new or improved assets, such as surface vessels and aircraft. MASI funds facilities construction projects that help prepare field sites to receive, operate, and sustain new assets. MASI's ongoing activities include homeports for the fast response cutters at San Juan, Puerto Rico; Pascagoula, Mississippi; Ketchikan, Alaska; and Honolulu, Hawaii. MASI funding also has supported hangar modifications and other infrastructure improvements for new aviation assets, such as the HC-144A Ocean Sentry medium range surveillance aircraft.

The IFCJ or The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews is a philanthropic organization founded by Rabbi Yechiel Eckstein. The organization might have done a lot of good in Israel, but I have always thought there was something a little off about it.
[singlepic id=254 w=320 h=240 float=right]First, it seems that one of the main goals of the organization is to promote an heroic public image of its founder. He is not only mentioned in every ad they do – he is the main focus of most of them. On his website you can 'help honor Rabbi Eckstein [and] share a personal message with [him] that will be placed in a special book of memories being presented to him […]'
In this air of a personality cult they might as well have used a capital H when spelling 'him'.
Second, it seems that when it comes to soliciting donations, the end justify the means with this organization. A year ago Israel's Channel 10 news did a segment showing the organization's US commercials in which Rabbi Eckstein paints Israel as a Third World country whose streets are packed with poor people, bombs go off everywhere, and tourists never visit. Now, I understand that you cannot ask for money if you state that all is well, but it seems the IFCJ is incapable of seeing the big picture, and in trying to make Israel better they seem to perpetuate old stereotypes, trying to manipulate people's emotions in order to raise more funds.
[singlepic id=96 w=425 h=400 float=right]In yesterday's Maariv newspaper, the organization published an ad in which Rabbi Eckstein personally feeds a child some green beans, in what appears to be a very large soup kitchen. I found this ad particularly disturbing, as the child in front and the others in the back are most likely real people and not models, who most likely did not consent to being plastered all over the newspaper. But what really made me mad is the subtext of Rabbi Eckstein as a contemporary messiah feeding the poor. No more donating in secret – the modern day savior has an NPO, hires a PR company, an ad agency, and does not wait for people to hang his picture on the wall – he prints them copies of it.

OK. If you do Christmas shopping, time is running out. But starting today, Kohl's department stores want to help take some of the pressure off. For the first time ever, nearly all the retailers - more than 1,100 stores - will remain open 24 hours a day - 24 hours a day - five days straight. And this is a thing.
LaToya Dennis of member station WUWM reports.
LATOYA DENNIS, BYLINE: If you're a last-minute shopper, you already the drill. One: circle the parking lot, hoping to find a spot. Two: avoid crashing into people in aisles cluttered with Christmas displays. Three: try to be patient - that is, unless you find a time to shop when others aren't there.
ABBY BUDDA: I'm usually up at about 5:30 in the morning anyways, so 3 o'clock wouldn't be that bad. With half a pot of coffee, you can accomplish just about anything.
DENNIS: That's Abby Budda, who works at a convenience store in downtown Milwaukee. She says her goal is to always avoid crowds.
And this weekend, she's in luck, because starting today Kohl's will open for 100 straight hours. Toy's 'R' Us will follow suit, staying open for 87 consecutive hours.
Kathy Grannis is with the National Retail Federation. She says the trick is getting shoppers to choose one store over the other.
KATHY GRANNIS: The economy in recent years has actually really shifted how companies look to compete for customer dollars. And the move to stay open and offer these extra store hours really is in direct response to this kind of competitive market.
DENNIS: For some stores, the around-the-clock holiday shopping gimmick started about three years ago. But there's one retailer that tries to never close its doors: LL Bean's flagship store in Maine is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

I know many of you artists out there sometimes struggle when it comes time to drawing human anatomy whether that anatomy is for a realistic person, or a cartoon or anime/manga character. Today, I thought I would submit a week old lesson that I never put up, on something that may be helpful to those of you that have trouble drawing necks. For a long time I fell victim to not knowing "how to draw necks", and because of that many of my characters came out looking either very sick, or very deformed. Over time I have improved, but I still have troubles in that area. Today, I will do my best to try and show you guys "how to draw a neck", using step by step instructions. Again I just want to remind you guys that I am still not a pro in this field, so please if you can give out any pointers to other artists, feel free and do so because what I will teach you is how I draw necks. I mean don't get me wrong, my neck drawing isn't all that bad which means if you have experienced difficulty attaching a nicely drawn head to a normal looking neck, this tutorial should help you get better. I also include some helpful tips on how the collar bones should look, and how to sketch them into place. Anyways, in order to understand what the heck I am talking about, the best thing for you to do is stop reading this description, and get busy with the tutorial. I will be back soon with some more cool drawing lessons so try and keep those pencils moving until I return. Peace people!

U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke said on Tuesday that a population that better understands financial concepts will help the nation withstand financial shocks.
"Consumers who make informed decisions about financial products and services not only serve their own best interests, but collectively, help promote broader economic activity," he said in prepared remarks to a town hall meeting at the Fed on financial education.
Bernanke did not comment on the outlook for monetary policy or the economy in prepared text.

Nothing is too much for Mum!
Luxury Mummy Spa Kit – £39.99
For mums of all ages, Love Boo have put together three of their best-selling products (Bosom Buddy, Miracle Oil and Silky Soft Body Wash – all paraben free) to leave her skin soft and nourished.
Dolce Parfum by Dolce & Gabbana – from £45
With top notes of neroli leaves and papaya flower, heart notes of white amaryllis, white daffodil and white water lily and down notes of cashmeran, and sandalwood, Mother will be very happy to receive this beautiful looking and smelling scent.
Honeybell White Jasmine Natural Candle – £15
Honeybell Soap's organic candles contain a combination of Palm, Soya and Rapeseed oils which are bought from ethical material sources. The Palm oil comes from Malaysia and the UK supplier is a founder member of the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil, both promoting best practise and ethics in the sourcing and production of palm oil. This size candle has a burn time of 40-50 hours and at this price, it's a must buy.
NUXE Rose Petal Cleansing Range – from £12
Mature skin can be slightly more sensitive but this gorgeous range from French brand NUXE cleanses without stripping and leaves skin with a delicate rose scent. My favourite profucts are the Gentle Toning Lotion (£13.50) and the Micellar Water (£14.15). If she doesn't know about double cleansing yet you need to teach her!
Clinique New Turnaround Concentrate – £32
New Turnaround Concentrate from Clinique has been upgraded with a formula that enhances the cell renewal and maturation process – for effective and visible results. Surface imperfections are reduced and skin is smoothed thanks to Chestnut Extract, Salicylic Acid, Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E) and Sodium Hyaluronate, capable of holding up to 1,000 times its weight in water.
L'Occitane Shea Butter Ultra Soft Cream – £18
L'Occitane launched this new collection of shea butter creams back in February but I think they'd make great gifts for Mum. Older skins tend to be drier and these creams (with 10% shea butter) nourish and moisturize without leaving the skin greasy.

Sam Rund '08 a Lead Author of Study on the Mosquito's Ability to Smell
September 5, 2013
Samuel S. Rund, a doctoral candidate at the University of Notre Dame's Eck Institute for Global Health and 2008 graduate of DePauw University, is one of the lead authors of research published in Scientific Reports. It "revealed that the major malaria vector in Africa, the Anopheles gambiae mosquito, is able to smell major human host odorants better at night," notes a news release from Notre Dame.
Sarah Craig writes, "The study reports an integrative approach to examine the mosquito's ability to smell across the 24-hour day and involved proteomic, sensory physiological, and behavioral techniques. The researchers examined the role for a major chemosensory family of mosquito proteins, odorant-binding proteins (OBPs), in the daily regulation of olfactory sensitivities in the malarial mosquito. It is thought that OBPs in the insect antennae and mouth parts function to concentrate odorant molecules and assist in their transport to the actual olfactory receptors, thereby allowing for odorant detection. The team revealed daily rhythmic protein abundance of OBPs, having higher concentrations in the mosquito's sensory organs at night than during the day. This discovery could change the way we look at protecting ourselves from these disease-carrying pests."
Sam Rund, who was a biochemistry major and Science Research Fellow at DePauw, states, "This was an exciting opportunity to bring many people and techniques together to make some really fascinating findings on the mosquito's ability to smell humans, its host. Just think, during the day the mosquito is sleeping and doesn't need to smell you. But when the sun goes down, the mosquito's olfactory system becomes extra-sensitive, and she is ready to smell and then bite you."

Same-sex Couples and Immigration in the United States
By Gary J. Gates and Craig Konnoth
November 2011
There are an estimated 28,500 binational same-sex couples and nearly 11,500 same-sex couples in which neither partner is a U.S. citizen. None of these 40,000 couples are eligible to use the immigration preferences available to different-sex spouses. These couples are raising almost 25,000 children. Among the binational same-sex couples, the countries most represented are Mexico (25%), Canada (8%), and the United Kingdom (6%), and one-fourth live in California. Among noncitizens in binational couples, 45% are Latino/a and 14% are Asian/Pacific Islander.

|The dresser finished and beautiful!
|This is the mirror after I had stripped the paint off
This turned out great! I love that mirror!
Marie! This is such a cute blog! You are so creative. I was dying to see pictures of the ugly green paint from Capri's room. :) It looks beautiful and fresh now. I had the same exact experience with Emmett's room. I repainted it THREE times before I was finally settled. It was worth it, though!!
Super sweet dresser! It's so nice when pieces have a history like that to them, it makes them all the more special!
I love it!! You are so creative!
You did an amazing job with the dresser..
I'm inviting you to add this to our linking party at
Have a great weekend,
Hi Marie, You have a charming blog here and I love, love, love the transformation of this piece. I'm your newest follower.
Wow! Great job! Love your blog too!
Hi Marie, What a wonderful project. And I really respect you for taking your time to make it right. {Something I seldom have the patience for!}. Thanks so much for linking it up to Fab Friday.
Warmly, Michelle
I'm about to paint my first dresser so I've been checking out your painted furniture. Love it. :)
It turned out GORGEOUS!!! Definitely worth the wait! :) Thank you so much for linking up to Strut Your Stuff Saturday! We are so grateful for your support and we hope that you will be back tomorrow to share more great ideas!

I visited doctor's office after some accident on the ski slope in January this year. Although at first, the injury seemed harmless, after a week it started to get me very upset and I needed to contact a specialist. The doctor correctly diagnosed my case and recommended a visit to a good physiotherapist. After two months of rehabilitation, I'm ready to go back to sports. A wonderful orthopaedic surgeon. I heartily recommend!
The first doctor who successfully diagnosed my condition. The doctor has commissioned a number of medical examination that I can do within the NHF and prescribed several drugs. It turned out, however, that I could not take one of them because of the allergy to the main ingredient. I mentioned this to the doctor during the visit, but maybe he forgot about it because he was a bit hot-headed and he finished the visit too fast. I give a neutral review because the doctor has helped me anyway.
