We're making some changes around here, and one of them is to offload the crunch-heavy D&D 3.5 articles to the forums. In this thread, you'll find all the articles that contained new mechanical ideas that I wrote: both This Old Rule articles, all 4 prestige classes, the sole base class, and several articles of feats, spells, and monsters. What you won't find are articles by other authors--I don't necessarily have permission to post them in any other form--and the pre-made NPCs. The non-crunch game theory articles (such as the New World) are still on the website proper for the time being.
Since I had to reformat these for the forums, I took a few extra minutes to write up my thoughts on each one. Even if you aren't counting the release of the new 4th Edition, the 3.5 game changed a lot after I wrote these; the most recent article was still from 2004! Some of the things that were perfectly acceptable then seem quaint or underpowered now. In my comments, I have some ideas for keeping them relevant as well as my uncensored ideas on whether what I wrote back then was any good at all. The biggest notes are for the Champion class, which I've written 20 new feats for in an attempt to allow it to stand toe-to-toe with more recent classes.

District Map

Kristine Kohut grew up in the US Air Force, living in such places as Oregon, Mississippi, The Netherlands, England, California and Virginia. She dreamed of being a published writer from a very young age, and submitted many pointless stories to children's magazines for consideration. All the while, her father secretly copied her stories and mailed them to relatives.
She dabbled in many industries in her twenties, finally setting out to do her intended career at thirty: teaching English. Kristine spent much of her teens and twenties in the DC area where Big Toe People is set. Then she moved to Okinawa, Japan and taught at two middle schools and a high school on American military bases, thus fulfilling another dream of hers: overseas adventure as an adult. She met her husband while there.
At 37, Kristine moved to the States to be an Air Force wife. She wrote Big Toe People shortly after their honeymoon and edited it as changes in duty stations, teaching community college English, and parenting allowed. Another big revision is expected, and a more streamlined 2nd edition will come out some day. Meanwhile, a tween hero's quest set in Okinawa, Japan is in the last editing and revision stages before Kristine seeks a literary agent and publisher for her new series.
She and her pilot husband adopted two sons in 2011 and 2012.
Ms. Kohut has an undergraduate degree in English with a Writing concentration and an M.Ed. for teaching Secondary English, both from George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia. More pertinent to the content her novel Big Toe People, however, is her long stint of singlehood. There's plenty of material in her past to draw upon for inspiring chick novels, that's for sure.

In the 1990s, child actress Maia Campbell was on top of the world, starring with L.L. Cool J on the hit sitcom "In the House." After the show was canceled, however, she developed a crystal meth addiction and soon hit rock bottom. Eventually, videos surfaced on the Internet showing Maia disheveled and strung out.
On the November 17 episode of "Iyanla: Fix My Life," relationship expert Iyanla Vanzant works with Maia to reestablish her family relationships and work through unresolved guilt for the pain she caused her now-deceased mother.
When her mother was dying, Maia says she wasn't even allowed to see her. "[My family] thought I would cause problems," she tells Iyanla. "They wouldn't let me talk to her on the phone."
"Maia, you were high," says Iyanla. "Until you can say to me, 'I did drugs. I ran the streets. I threw my dreams away,' it will always be about them and you will always be powerless. You gotta own your stuff."
Watch Iyanla Vanzant and Maia Campbell on "Iyanla: Fix My Life," Saturday, November 17, at 10 p.m./9C on OWN.

With a long weekend and some fairly nice weather ahead, you may be hitting the roads this weekend. If you anywhere near San Leon, check out Judge's. It's a colorful, updated take on the ice house that abuts the bay. When the weather warms up, there'll be plenty of interest in the expansive deck. Heck, they've even created a bit of a beach with tables.
The menu is what you'd expect: bar food, burgers, seafood and gumbo. But this place isn't about the food. Judge's is about atmosphere, which is helped by a friendly staff, an abundance of bikers and plenty of laid-back locals.
My idea of a good day would be a stop at nearby Gilhooley's for a dozen grilled oysters. Then a stop at Judge's for a margarita and a little people-watching.

What is Stanozolol (Winstrol)?
- Also Known As: Winny, Stanozolol, Stana, Winstrol Depot (injectable)
- Used For: Cutting and Athletic Performance
- Method of Ingestion: Both (primarily Oral)
- Half Life: 9 hours (oral) and 24 hours (injectable)
About Winstrol
Winstrol is a popular steroid that is used primarily for cutting, contest prep and improving athletic performance. Winstrol can be taken both orally and intramuscularly and is one of the few steroids that can be used by women. There is no real difference between the oral and the injectable version of Winstrol, other than a slight risk to your liver when taken orally (like all oral steroids) and a difference in half-life. The injectable version is not esterised but rather sold in an aqueous suspension (basically mixed with water) and the injections may feel different as a result.
Winstrol was created in the 1960's and its proper name is Stanozolol. It is derived from the hormone DHT and is used for treating anaemia, hereditary Angioedema and osteoporosis. Winstrol does not convert into oestrogen so it will not cause any aromitazation side effects. Winstrol is extremely anabolic and only slightly androgenic making it a popular choice for stacking.
Winstrol has many positive effects. It will certainly give an increase in athletic performance and strength not just overall strength, but improvements in power, speed and agility. Winstrol will also increase red blood cells although not as much as other steroids and it increases nitrogen retention in the muscles which helps speed up recovery. In addition it will enhance protein synthesis and lowers SHBG (Sex hormone-binding globulin) which is the product in your body that limits the overall effectiveness of steroids. This is why Winstrol is a popular steroid to add to stacks as it can improve the effectiveness of the other steroids. On the cutting side of things Winstrol is excellent at preserving muscle while on a calorie deficient diet, greatly enhances vascularity as well as promotes a dryer and harder physique.
How To Use Stanozolol (Winstrol)
It is important to establish who should use Winstrol before we look at how to use it. A number of Winstrols properties are better serviced by other steroids and as a result Winstrol is commonly misused. There are essentially 3 type of people Winstrol would be perfect for:
1. Athletes
Winstrol is excellent in increasing, strength, power, speed and agility and is why Ben Johnson used to take it before being caught. In particular athletes where the goal is to increase strength and power without adding mass (say sports with weight divisions) will see great benefits including higher red blood cells and faster recovery.
2. Contest Prep/Cutters
Winstrol is excellent for cutting if and only if you are already lean (less than 15% bodyfat). It does aid in fat loss, but if your goal is to lose weight then I would look at other products first. If you want to get the vascular look, get harder and maintain muscle during your calorie deficient diet then Winstrol is a good choice.
3. Women
When it comes to steroid women do not have many choices, but Winstrol is one of the few they can take. It has masculine side effects but within the reasonable range, will promote strength and endurance and help with cutting (if already at a good weight). Even though Anavar would be a better choice for women sometimes price and availability mean they may not be an option.
Cycles And Stacks
The oral version should only be taken for a maximum of 8 weeks, although personally I recommend a max of 6 weeks. The injectable can be taken for almost double this time. Generally Men will take 50mg a day whilst women will take 10mg daily.
When injecting because of the 24 hour half life, you can take Winstrol every other day at 100mg, although a lot of people prefer to take it daily at 50mg. For orals it is best to split your dose because of the short half life and take one in the morning and one in the evening.
When it comes to stacking, Winstrol stacks pretty well with almost everything. For women, I would not stack it at all, the Winstrol alone will be powerful enough to make changes. For the Men cutting, it stacks really well with Test, Tren or EQ. For the athletes, Winstrol by itself will work well but is best stacked with test as it will naturally inhibit the body's ability to produce test. Here is an example of a simple cutting stack:
Week 1-12 Testosterone 500mg per week
Week 1-8 Equipoise 400mg per week
Week 7-12 Winstrol 50mg every day
Stanozolol (Winstrol) Side Effects
- Dry Joints
- Liver Toxicity
- Painful injections
- High Cholestorol
- Increase in Blood Pressure
- Testoterone suppression
Note: These sides are mild in nature and can be managed or ignored for those in good health. To prevent liver damage for example orals should be limited to 6 weeks. Cholestorol requires a healthy diet and its best stacked with a form of test to avoid testosterone suppression. For more info on dealing with sides, see my side effects article.
PCT from Winstrol (Stanozolol)
Winstrol PCT is fairly straight forward. 4 weeks of Clomid or Nolva starting a few days after your cycle finished. In most cases though the PCT should reflect what you have stacked with the Winstrol and may also require a longer break and HCG after you cycle. A lot of people have no PCT and even though Winstrol is only mildly suppressive I would do a PCT to get my hormone production back to 100%. Steroids are not game for shortcuts.
Winstrol (Stanozolol) FAQ
How long until Winstrol starts working?
You should see the effects in around a week.
What are the particles in the injectable Winstrol?
That is the winstrol, floating in the water. It is always good practice to shake up the vial before using as they can sit on the bottom if left sitting on a shelf. Also these particles can clog the needles at time, so you may need to use a higher gauge.
Can I mix the winstol with my oil injectables?
Why do Winstrol injections hurt?
Oil injections generally hurt less then water solutions. Also if the injection site is inflamed or sore afterwards it may be bacteria in the Winstrol. Because it is water based, bacteria has a much higher chance of growing and it is why injectable Winstrol should be sourced from a reputable source and not an underground lab (UGL) as they most likely won't have the sterilized laboratory required.
Can I drink the Injectable solution?
Yes, you can drink the solution although its not as effective as injecting it. Also it taste horrible, but if there is bactria in the solution the stomach acid will kill it.

DYAM Raja Sir Chulan ibni Almarhum Sultan Abdullah Muhammad Shah was born in Tanjong Brambang on 1 July 1869.
Having obtained an English-styled education at the Raffles Institution in Singapore and the English High School in Malacca with his elder brother, Raja Ngah Mansur, he started life as a civil servant and was attached to the Perak Secretariat in 1886. A few years later, he visited his father, Sultan Abdullah, who was living in the Seychelles, exiled by the British following the assassination of JWW Birch. It was following his return from the Seychelles that Raja Chulan informally introduced a French tune (that was said to be the origin of the Perak State Anthem) well-loved by his father and siblings in exile to Raja Ngah Mansur. He was then a Settlement Officer in Larut in 1890. Other civil service posts he held were Acting Land Revenue Collector at Kuala Kangsar and Assistant District Officer at Selama.
In 1900, Raja Chulan married Raja Puteh Kalsom, the daughter of Sultan Idris I. He later accompanied Sultan Idris I to England for the coronation of Edward VII in 1902. When he returned to Perak, he was made District Officer (DO) in Hulu Perak. According to an article by Prof Khoo Kay Kim, Raja Chulan was likely to be the first Malay ever to be appointed DO. He became a Perak State Council member in 1907 and finally retired from government service in 1911.
Raja Chulan was the outstanding spokesman of the Malays in public life and when he retired from the Federal Council just before his death after 26 years on the Perak State Council. He became the first Malay communal representative of the Federal Council in 1924. In the Council, he urged the British to improve the economical standing of the Malays and their accessibility to the civil service. In a Federal Council Meeting in 1931, he opined that a substantial reduction expenditure in government can be achieved by employing more Malays wherever possible in the civil service, rather than continuing to engage a larger number of European officials. Raja Chulan added that the Malay will spend his earnings locally and will work on a smaller salary than a European whose savings will go elsewhere (i.e. out of the country). He understood that at that point in time, it was not possible for all highly qualified experts to be held by Malays but after 50 years of British administration, he felt that surely there are sufficient Malays trained to undertake responsible work in technical departments such as the Public Works Department, the Post Office and the Railways. In the same meeting, Raja Chulan suggested the need for the British administration to look into encouraging Malays to study medicine and dentistry. He hoped to induce the Malay public to form a scholarship fund to support this endeavour, provided that the government promises to provide employment to these Malay doctors and dentists on graduation. Raja Chulan was also vocal in other matters of British administration of the Malay States. He was unhappy with the decision to levy import duty on petrol and kerosene as this would affect the poorer classes of the population. Sir Cecil Clementi, the High Commissioner once mentioned that "no Malay of modern times has done more for his country and his countrymen than Raja Sir Chulan".
He was granted the title of Raja Di-Hilir by Almarhum Sultan Iskandar on 1 December 1920, after the British lifted the ban on the descendants of the exiled Sultan Abdullah from succession to the Perak throne. He was the first non-ruling Malay Royal to have been knighted, which he received a KBE in 1930 from George V. He was partly instrumental (together with Almarhum Sultan Iskandar ibni Sultan Idris, Tuanku Muhammad ibni Yamtuan Antah and Datuk Abdullah Haji Dahan) in the forming of the Royal Malay Regiment, which was finally formed in 1933. In a Federal Council Meeting in 1931, Raja Chulan had explained that the formation of such a regiment would afford a stimulus to Malay patriotism.
He died on 10 April 1933 and was buried at the Al-Ghufran Royal Mausoleum, Bukit Chandan in Kuala Kangsar. He had issue, most of whom were daughters. From his marriage to Raja Puteh Kelsom, he had a son, Raja Zainal Azman bin Raja Sir Chulan, later Raja Kecil Bongsu (1948-1956) who was educated in England, and a daughter, Raja Amnah, who later married Sultan Osman Al-Sani Perkasa Alam of Deli. From Almarhum's marriage to his second wife, Che Sariya binti Sahat, he had further issue – Raja Zania Shah, Raja Mentera @ Mahtra, Raja Kimas, Raja Mimi, Raja Zan and Raja Amriah.
Trivia: Weld Road in Kuala Lumpur was renamed Jalan Raja Chulan in 1982.

(The title of the film makes me scratch my head, but I find it's best to not think too long and hard about these things.)
No, the lovely and talented Keys won't be the newest Bond Babe. Thankfully, she's sticking to what she does best: making music. She'll join Jack White for a duet on the film's theme song — the first duet in Bond theme song history, in case you're keeping track. Considering Keys' and White's musical styles are pretty much exactly opposite, it should be an interesting collaboration. But, I'm betting it'll be a little moment of brilliance ala Alison Krauss/Robert Plant.
While Alicia won't be making an appearance in the film, we will be treated to yet another femme fatale, Olga Kurylenko, whose character Camille has one of the more benign names in Bond history.
It all started 40 years ago with "Honey Ryder," the suggestively named seductress from 1962's Dr. No. Since then, let's face it, the draw to James Bond movies has been more based on their stunning parade of femme fatales, than whatever happens in those movies. Are there even storylines in James Bond films? They always seem to me like a strung-out din of explosions, car chases and blatant displays of sexual innuendo. Even the famed roles of Bond Babes have their share of unapologetically named characters that point them out as the sex objects they are. I mean, really: Pussy Galore and Holly Goodhead? My personal favorite: Peaceful Fountains of Desire (played by Rachel Grant).
Still, I have to admit I loved Grace Jones in A View to a Kill, Madonna and Halle Berry in Die Another Day, and Eva Green in Casino Royale. And, I'm fairly certain I'll love Alicia Keys' duet with Jack White in Quantum of Solace, if nothing else. Who's your favorite Bond Babe?

That day was the Division Cantata 2012 and we are all excited to go back to Talipan National High School in Pagbilao where last division cantata was held there too. Good thing about us, (ARV) is we already belong in Category C and we are with IV-CCR (401) and they will compete in Category B. I'm happy because all of us , Arv will going to perform on the stage unlike before that some of us including me we're just watching and yelling our classmates just because the mechanics said that the participants will only be 25. We all woke up early and ready ourselves with our costumes. I'm happy to see our Mapeh teacher , Mrs. Pereha that is so caring and supportive that she was the one to look for what we're going to ride and she was the one to pay our fair. Of course , I also want to mention our loving Adviser, Sir Ayie because he decided to go with us just to cheer us and watch our performance and thank all the mapeh teachers that supported us. We were also wearing our varsity jacket coz we don't like to reveal our costumes yet. When we arrived, we saw different colorful costumes from different schools. They we're prepared and ready to compete. The girls have their make ups unlike us. :) They are wearing hats , neckties and other stuff. We stayed in our so "masikip" room. Arv and Ccr are just in only one room and we're more than 60 students so it was really hot inside the room. We got bored because we're about to perform in the afternoon and there we're a lot of participants. We enjoyed the first part of the program and we supported Ccr. Their performance was still great even though they're not choir like their "kalaban". We have our free lunch and that is "adobong langis" . Let's move on.
Beforewe performed , Mrs. Alcantara said that "Mga anak pag ba binawasan kayo malaking kawalan?" We were actually shocked to what Ma'am said and asked her Whyyyy? Because you're more than 30, if you perform more than 30 then you are disqualified. :( Whow that was a damn announcement. We thought everything was right, we still performed and smile even though the audience were already critizing us. "Bat an dami nila? We don't want to make ourself down , we tried our best. We performed with smiles on our faces and after our performance, some our clappin their hands but some have different looks on their faces. Ohh! They're insecures! >.< The said we looked like sailor moon in our costumes! Reallly? We're cute right! We're unique! We want to tell everybody there that we're not choir, we're just a simple 4th year student who wanted to perform and bring an honor to our beloved school. :/
The most awaited part the awarding? Ohh. :( We already knew it. We're Disqualified! Can we just say that we are Overqualified because we we're too many and the participants are over.? If only we can admit it to ourselves, if only we knew it right from the start. Yaaah. "AMPALAYER, AMPALAYER." Bitter to judges, audience , everyone their in talipan especially the winners. Not because they win, it's because they were really proud of themselves not thinking that they were wearing a mantle ! :) That was the reason why we're bitter in mantle! We never expect that! We're not bitter just because we lost, it's because it's not fair. We didn't know that the mechanics were there. But one thing about is we we're glad because we were able to performed and we tried our best just to make them proud of us.
A bitter sorrow. A bitter chill A. bitter hatred and a bitter lesson. The difference between the Loser and the Winner in each such Game is that the Loser accepts that the proper ending to the Game, like a crescendo in music, is for oneself to lose. The Loser expects this all the time, and is indeed very surprised should he/she win. :/

The sun hasn't even broken through the frost on the backyard. The grass, the trees and everything outside has a shiny, frosted look. The bright light is peeping through my bedroom curtains, so I relent and stumble out of bed. Despite the fact that it is 33 degrees outside, I work my flip-flops on, go outside and greet my girls. They have been up for hours and hard at work. Their names (kindly named by my four-year old) are Justice (yellow, front), King (black, left), Goldie (yellow, back) and Ducky (black right). My four little hens give us four eggs a day in the summer and two or three in the winter.
I don't live out in a rural area. I live in a suburban neighborhood but my street is much more rural than many. As such, I have the opportunity to gain much more from my backyard than most people I know. When we bought the house, I knew immediately that I wanted a garden. I've been lucky with my garden and she has given me a decent amount of strawberries, blueberries, lettuce, potatoes, tomatoes, okra, green bell peppers, yellow squash, asparagus, a few ears of corn, a couple of pumpkins and cherries. It is my hope is that this year, I'll be able to build a greenhouse over my 20×20 garden and get even more out of it.
Last spring, while out at the farmers market, my four-year old was enchanted by a booth which sold puppies, ducks, hens, roosters and baby chickens. After a bit of research and a lot of discussion with my roommate and partner in crime, M. and I decided to purchase 4 of the baby chickens for our backyard. We put together a henhouse, kept them inside until they were fully feathered and the temps warmed up. All four survived our early parenting and went to the backyard shortly after.
I have to admit that I never thought of chickens as pets. But the girls are very sweet, they come when called like dogs, and are generally less annoying than my neighbors dog which has been barking nonstop since I started writing. They can fly for very short distances, mostly horizontally. However, they make no real effort to leave the backyard. They spend most of their day free ranging around the yard picking for bugs and taking dust baths. They are great girls, and my reward isn't half bad either!

Spend cautious consideration to what you need to keep in mind to make sure the info is retained inside your long-term memory. Distractions, including music and tv, avoid you from paying the expected volume of interest for the material. Failure to concentrate will lead to the information and facts getting lost and not committed to memory.
When attempting to commit a big volume of data to memory, getting many shorter study sessions is drastically greater than possessing a single extended study session. The cause for this can be that it requires numerous separate situations of reviewing the material so that you can commit the material to long-term memory. Holding the details in long-term memory will let you a lot more readily recall the information and facts than if it was stored in brief term memory.
Colour code information and facts to assist you memorize it. Colour coding assists the left and ideal sides of the brain to function collectively, and superior enables you to commit material for your long-term memory. The colour also plays as an association towards the word or phrase you are functioning to memorize.
Exercising your brain. Working with your memory as well as other believed provoking functions of the brain every day, will assist preserve your thoughts as well as your memory sharp. Do puzzles, drive a distinctive strategy to perform and memorize anything each day. You are going to see an improvement speedily and much less of a decline as time moves on.
In case you have noticed that your memory is not what it applied to become, perhaps you are not having sufficient sleep. You might want to be sleeping seven to eight hours each and every evening as a way to enhance your memory. Throughout your sleep cycle, your brain processes all new data to make these memories for you personally so you've got them to recall later.
When someone is sleep deprived, his brain struggles to become completely functioning. Easy points like problem-solving, inventive pondering and remembering, all of a sudden come to be hard. Finding a complete night's rest every evening will retain your brain's potential to function at capacity. Sufficient sleep also increases your memory because the most significant memory enhancing activities take place although you will be inside your deepest sleep.
You might have noticed that your brain is not as sharp when you have been sitting in one particular spot for as well extended. If this really is the case, you'll want to take about a 5-15 minute break each and every hour through your function or study session to provide your thoughts some time for you to rest and unwind. This may then let your brain to absorb the information and facts greater.
Should you want to keep in mind some info, study it on a regular basis rather than cramming it in all at as soon as. Analysis has shown that studying some thing in brief, but frequent, sessions produces far better benefits than spending one particular lengthy time period cramming it in. Shorter, a lot more frequent sessions enable your brain time for you to method what it has discovered and to commit the information and facts to memory.
If you would like to possess a far better long-term memory, then you definitely have to have to have inside the practice of standard stretching as well as other workout. These workout routines retain the brain's arteries open, and that is critical since the brain is accountable for 15 % of the body's blood flow. Stretching also increases power, flexibility and relaxation, which all support towards enhanced long-term memory also.

Great work, keep it up! I wish I knew more about web development so that I could help you. Any jobs that don't involve coding (or theming)?ReplyDelete
I certainly think so - I'm only involved with the artwork side. There's not a fully developed plan for the interface (what information do the user need to see, how does this work with LaunchPad and so on.)ReplyDelete
Anyway, you should ask Sense, he has an overview of the entire project.
Thanks for the feedback :-)

Tremendous work on the evolution of the mocks Mads!ReplyDelete
Top shelf on all counts, and a wonderful departure from what I have been seeing in the Ubuntu website world.
My only thought would be to perhaps watch your gridding alignment. For example, the 'Home' link above the main panel is probably more well suited to align with the edges of the figures.
Rico did a wonderful presentation on using Phi to control your grids... check it out at:
Looks like the old western feeling heading entry into all of this wonderful work now needs to be rethought...

Thanks for the kind comment. The theme redesign is currently on hold, but I'll keep your ideas in mind.

BOSTON � Is it too soon to panic?
BOSTON - Is it too soon to panic?
But not premature to put Saturday's Game Two in the
best-of-seven Eastern Conference quarterfinal set against the
Montreal Canadiens into the "must win" category.
At least that's how the Bruins themselves see it.
"Oh, I think so," said top line right wing Nathan Horton. "It's
a long series, but you don't want to go down by two (games). We
have to win one at home."
They'll have to win one in Montreal, too, as the Habs now hold
the home-ice advantage.
That, as left wing Milan Lucic pointed out, is far more easily
said than done.
"It's no secret," Lucic said, "that the Bell Centre is not an
easy building for us to win in. Especially this year (the Bruins
went 0-for-3). It's definitely a must-win for us to get the
Statistics, for what they're worth, are not on Boston's
Boston has won just 10 of 32 best-of-seven series all time when
dropping the first game, while the Canadiens are 57-9 after having
drawn first blood.
"It's just one game," said Bruins team captain Zdeno Chara. "The
next one's obviously going to be important. We have to regroup and
get ready."
Tone was set
Without question, the turning point of Game One was Brian
Gionta's first of two goals, scored at 2:44 of the first
Gionta was able to sneak to the right post and had a gaping cage
into which to pocket Scott Gomez's cross rink feed, as netminder
Tim Thomas tried in vain to scramble across his goal line.
"If he (Gionta) holds it a half-second more," said Thomas, "I
can get over there. But he got it, and got it off."
Camaraderie counts
The dressing room Karma will no doubt be stiffly tested by
Thursday night's loss.
If chemistry counts for anything, then this harmonious bunch of
Bruins could be in for a long playoff run.
Still, said veteran defenseman Andrew Ference, there is a
deep-enough supply to help get the Bruins through any
"People talk about camaraderie," said Ference, who said he's
seen both the worst and the best of rooms during his 11-year NHL
career. "The value of a good dressing room comes this time of year,
because at the end of the 82 games (regular season), you've spent a
lot of time together. If you don't have a good vibe, then you're
sick of each other. And I've been on teams where you are sick of
each other. That affects what you do on the ice.
"It's been good here for years. But it's like a marriage and it
takes work."
Thoughts on Savard
Gone but still uppermost in the minds of the Bruins is top line
center Marc Savard, who remains home in Ontario to deal with the
effects of his many concussions.
Coach Claude Julien said that he exchanges text messages with
Savard periodically to keep him in the loop.
"About every week or so," he said. "Things haven't changed in
his case, and it's unfortunate for him. I'm sure he's going to be
sitting at home and watching these games and wishing he could be
part of it because as a player that part of you will never
Kostitsyn OK
Habs right wing Andrei Kostitsyn was felled by a Chara slap shot
in the second minute of the game, which he took flush on his left
ankle. Kostitsyn missed the remainder of the first period but was
back on the ice in the second.
Kostitsyn was far more fortunate than was Ryan Callahan of the
Rangers, who a week ago absorbed the same sort of screamer from
Chara and sustained a broken ankle.

This game is dedicated to all those who thought that the Blachawks were just like the Penguins. This game is dedicated to WEEI talking head Mike Salk who proclaimed he "Couldn't imagine any scenario" in which the Blackhawks would beat the Bruins. You cocky, foolish bastards.
The Bruins were up by 2 goals with 12 minutes left. They then blew that lead. Sound familiar?
And anyone that actually watches hockey knows that the Blackhawks are never out of it, even down by 2 with 12 minutes left.
Nobody thought Torey Krug would be a liability. He was a surprise benefit in the Rangers series. The Penguins never did much to exploit his inexperience. I think we all forgot that he is an AHL defenseman playing against the best team in the NHL. His foolhardy giveaway, in an exceptionally dangerous part of the ice, will all his teammates moving forward for offense, was unforgivable. I think it's time to switch Krug out for Dougie Hamilton, who has demonstrated a more thorough understanding of the defensive system the Bruins play. If a pass isn't there, don't chance it. Wait for the smart play to present itself.
I think we all know now that this will be a long series. The Blackhawks are not a team that is going to give up games without a dogged fight. They stole this one.
Game 2 thankfully comes after an extra off-day, Saturday night in Chicago.

My favourites... sterling from the 1940s, Hobe, Vendome, European designers and whimsical figurals.
I have been collecting for over 40 years, dolls, purses, compacts, sterling silver, crystal, early Canadian pine furniture and more. I came by it honestly... my maternal grandfather was a fine furniture maker and many of his pieces grace the home of old established Ottawa families. He was an auctioneer, too. He brought containers from Europe in the early 20s. My mother collected, my husband also collects and his doll collection sale furnished our first home.
I started collecting Costume Jewellery just to wear in 1990. My first 2 purchases were both Sherman pieces. I needed something glamorous for a party and bought them at a flea market . I was majorly bitten and as they say ... the rest is history .....
I started selling on line in 2002 exclusively with RubyLane.
My first pictures were taken on the original Sony Mavica and it used a floppy. The floppy held very few pictures. My early pictures were horrid and over the years I have learned to take better ones. Back then research was much more difficult.
Those of us who formed and joined Costume Jewelry groups have literally developed a huge data bank of readily available information. There was really very little information and there still are designers that we still know very little about. Hours have been spent on finding the histories, patents and ads and many of our members have " written the books ".
If I have REMOVED an item you are interested in, please email me to ask about of it. I will relist it, if it is still available.

Thank you for your interest in '"Transformational Funeral Service." This book has evolved from a lifetime of experience in the business I love and the profession of which I have been a part for some 65 years – preparing the dead while caring for the living.
What started as a staff manual for our firm, the Dawson Funeral Home, took wings when I began inserting quips, theories, banters and quotes from a bevy of friends, acquaintances and, in some occurrences, individuals I have never met. In many cases, these come from the world of athletics, and there is a reason for that!
Despite the fact that the golden egg of sports in our society is badly scrambled, there is much to be learned from being part of a team, especially when participating under the duress of an injury or enduring until collapsing seem as if they are the only options.
So many of us in funeral service have had that feeling but continued to pursue our goals. That, in a nut shell, is what this book is all about; that is what funeral service is all about -- being the best when all those around you are throwing in the towel. Read it, share it, and add to it. It is a great time to be riding up front! -- FCD

Victoria Beckham is reflecting on what it's like to attend not one, but two royal weddings.
In a new interview with the Evening Standard, the fashion icon opened up about how "really honored" she felt to score an invite to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's big day, plus how things have changed since attending her last royal wedding.
"It was such a beautiful, incredible wedding. It was just the best day. They looked so happy, and everybody was just so happy for them," Victoria explained.
So how did the designer decide what to wear to the wedding of the year?

Why you should always backup up cloud data
Looking back I probably ought to have seen the warning signs, things that indicated Weycrest were not the gold standard of webhosting. There were some problems with their own website and when I tried to contact them to ask them a question about WordPress they didn't answer me.
Still I needed a cheap webhost for my new blog, and they seemed very reasonable, so I signed up and started my blog.
Now the thing I really kick myself about was that a week or so after signing up and uploading my blog there was a major outage of my site and it was impossible to get hold of Weycrest, numerous phone calls and emails went unanswered. This irritated me. Not the outage, as I reasoned you get what you pay for, and in electing for cheap I realised there might be some issues. No I was annoyed they didn't respond to any of my queries.
Now at this stage I should have moved, or at the very least started carefully
backing up my files. Alas like an internet greenhorn prized eejit I did neither and carried on.
Well the "inevitable" happened and at the end of may Weycrest went bust. It seems that the geezer running the company wiped all the servers, and suspended everyones accounts, before if the forums are to be believed fleeing the country.
Given my earlier stupidity in not backing up my data locally I despairingly realised that I had lost everything. Months and months of work on my blog. To say I was disconsolate is an understatement.
When searching the web for information or advice about what had gone on I stumbled upon the forums of a company called Vidahost
Who actually had some real news on the fate of Weycrest. They were also making an offer to former Weycrest customers who wanted to come to them.
I decided Vidahost sounded good and spoke to a nice chap called Dominic from their Customer Service department on the blower who invited me to join them. Before I had even signed up or given them any money Dominic spent some time in a valiant (if fruitless) attempt to try and recover some of my data.
Anyhow I have now signed up and I cannot recommend these guys highly enough, very reasonable and excellent Customer Service. Assuming you are reading this then the site is up and running good as new!
I also am incredibly indebted to Google Cache, without which I would have been unable to resurrect as much of my content as I have. I know I have permanently lost a few of the blogs I had uploaded but I am mostly back.
So the moral of this story? Do a little bit of research before signing up to a budget host I now realise that even some cursory googling would have let me realise Weycrest were ones to avoid.
But most of all make backups, the last thing you want to happen is to lose all the hours, days and weeks you put into your site. A local backup shouldn't take much time but it will save you a lot of agony and heart ache. The truth is that "the cloud" may well be the future of online computing but for the time being you cannot beat double redundancy and local backups.

Nice to see its all back up. i normally take a look and have a good read.
Ow ow ow ow OW!
I feel your pain. Or some of it.
Have you tried the Way Back Machine for the rest of what's lost at http://www.archive.org/ ?
I found things there which I thought I'd lost forever.
Well after having to rebuild my macbook last night I cannot say how important backing up is! Thankfully it all worked or I wouldn't be able to rant about it at work any more lol

The long-awaited, live-action adaptation of DC Comics' popular cosmic crusader the Green Lantern soars into theaters Friday. And the emerald-hued hero's big-screen debut is an entertaining effort infused with visual energy.
But a ridiculous adversary, smorgasbord of CGI and dearth of character development knocks "Lantern" behind "Thor" and "X-Men: First Class" in the race for 2011 cinematic superhero superiority. ("Captain America," you're up next.)
Cocky fighter pilot Hal Jordan (Ryan Reynolds) is on a bit of a downward spiral. Memories of his father's death haunt him, while a risky maneuver during an aerial demonstration costs Hal his job and raises the ire of fellow pilot and former flame Carol Ferris (star-on-the-rise Blake Lively).
Worlds away, extraterrestrial warrior Abin Sur (Temuera Morrison), member of an intergalactic peace-keeping force dubbed the Green Lantern Corps, sets his vessel toward Earth. Sur clings to life after being attacked by the fear-fueled, cloud-like space beast Parallax, and Sur's powerful ring has chosen a new bearer (don't worry, Frodo, you're off the hook). Sur's ship crashes on Earth, where the ring "selects" Hal to fill Sur's lofty role as celestial guardian. And the ring is no trinket. Powered by will, it enables its wearer to create weapons and objects, and grants the ability of flight.
Hal zips over to the planet Oa, home of the Corps and its founders, the Guardians of the Universe, a handful of terribly somber blue-skinned beings who seem like they would be much happier lawn bowling on Neptune. On Oa, Hal gets a crash course in ring combat from brutish Corps member Kilowog (voice of Michael Clarke Duncan) and lead lantern Sinestro (Mark Strong of "Sherlock Holmes"), while contemplating the philosophical musings of dutiful Corps member Tomar-Re (one of the film's most enjoyable characters, voiced by the always stellar Geoffrey Rush).
Back on Earth, the scientist son (Peter Sarsgaard as Hector Hammond) of a U.S. senator (Tim Robbins) is suffering the nasty effects of exposure to Aban Sur's corpse and its Parallax-infected wound. (Think Rocky Dennis from "Mask" with telekinesis.) And Parallax itself is bearing down on Earth. Hal will need to get a quick grasp of his ring know-how in order to save his home planet and, of course, rescue the girl.
"Superman" meets "Star Trek" in this fun and vibrant take on the comic icon, though the colorful film feels a bit gluttonous in its feast of effects and action. The casting is inspired, with Lively, Strong and Sarsgaard all shining in their various roles. Lively seems to be a natural, while Strong and Sarsgaard project dignity and madness, respectively. Reynolds nails the humorous moments and certainly looks the part, but its hard not to still see the frat-friendly joker he's known to play.
Watching Green Lantern's array of creative ring machinations come alive is a real treat, from a Gatling gun to an enormous racetrack. But story and characters suffer beneath the spectacle of it all, and the back-and-forth between worlds proves dizzying. To compound matters is the poorly designed Parallax, which looks like a cross between a giant octopus and the gunk that gets stuck in your vacuum cleaner.
"Green Lantern" is reminiscent of 2008's "The Incredible Hulk," another superhero flick that boasted a strong cast but went overboard on visual stimuli. Still, the filmmaking team deserves credit for ably adapting a difficult character, and "Lantern" is worthy of your box-office green. Don't bother with the unnecessary and ineffective 3-D, though.

Chelsea Manning represented the ACLU at Sunday's Pride March in New York City — her first Pride event since being released from prison this May. As the pictures show, she was all smiles.
The former U.S. Army intelligence officer was sentenced to 35 years in prison for sharing classified documents with WikiLeaks in 2010. She only served seven years, as President Barack Obama commuted her sentence in January of this year.
According to CNN, Manning, who came out as transgender in 2013, could be seen waving to the crowd from a convertible, along with American Civil Liberties Union lawyer James Esseks and Gavin Grimm, the transgender teenager famously fighting for bathroom rights.
Manning tweeted that she was "honored" to represent the ACLU at this year's event, adding that she "lost my voice from screaming so much." (The ACLU represents Manning in her lawsuit against the U.S. government over conditions in prison.)
She also clarified the organization's tweet calling this her first Pride March, explaining that it's "just the first one since getting released."
Manning has been active on social media since her release, sharing photos and updates on Instagram and Twitter in her first days of freedom. The sight of her happily celebrating LGBTQ Pride is a welcome one for her many supporters.

In his Apostolic Exhortaion entitled Vita Consecrata (March 25, 1996) John Paul II has a thought provoking quote from St. Augustine:
"Beautiful is God, the Word with God … He is beautiful in heaven, beautiful on earth; beautiful in the womb, beautiful in his parents' arms, beautiful in his miracles, beautiful in his sufferings; beautiful in inviting to life, beautiful in not worrying about death, beautiful in giving up his life and beautiful in taking it up again; he is beautiful on the Cross, beautiful in the tomb, beautiful in heaven. Listen to the song with understanding, and let not the weakness of the flesh distract your eyes from the splendour of his beauty." #24

May 31, 2013 is the Feast of the Visitation. About one week after conceiving Jesus by the power of the Holy Spirit, and at the conclusion of a 4 day journey, Mary arrives at the home of Elizabeth and Zechariah. We present two reflections: 1. Theological, 2. Poetical.
"John (the Baptist) was 'filled with the Holy Spirit even from his mother's womb' by Christ himself, whom the Virgin Mary had just conceived by the Holy Spirit. Mary's visitation to Elizabeth thus became a visit from God to his people." Catechism of the Catholic Church #717
The Quickening of St. John the Baptist – Written in 1949
On the Contemplative Vocation
Why do you fly from the drowned shores of Galilee,
From the sands and the lavender water?
Why do you leave the ordinary world, Virgin of Nazareth,
The yellow fishing boats, the farms,
The winesmelling yards and low cellars
Or the oilpress, and the women by the well?
Why do you fly those markets,
Those suburban gardens,
The trumpets of the jealous lilies,
Leaving them all, lovely among the lemon trees?
You have trusted no town
With the news behind your eyes.
You have drowned Gabriel's word in thoughts like seas
And turned toward the stone mountain
To the treeless places.
Virgin of God, why are your clothes like sails?
The day Our Lady, full of Christ,
Entered the dooryard of her relative
Did not her steps, light steps, lay on the paving leaves
like gold?
Did not her eyes as grey as doves
Alight like the peace of a new world upon that house, upon
miraculous Elizabeth?
Her salutation
Sings in the stone valley like a Charterhouse bell:
And the unborn saint John
Wakes in his mother's body,
Bounds with the echoes of discovery.
Sing in your cell, small anchorite!
How did you see her in the eyeless dark?
What secret syllable
Woke your young faith to the mad truth
That an unborn baby could be washed in the Spirit of God?
Oh burning joy!
What seas of life were planted by that voice!
With what new sense
Did your wise heart receive her Sacrament,
And know her cloistered Christ?
You need no eloquence, wild bairn,
Exulting in your hermitage.
Your ecstasy is your apostolate,
For whom to kick is contemplata tradere.
Your joy is the vocation of Mother Church's hidden children –
Those who by vow lie buried in the cloister or the hermitage;
The speechless Trappist, or the grey, granite Carthusian,
The quiet Carmelite, the barefoot Clare, Planted in the night of
contemplation, Sealed in the dark and waiting to be born.
Night is our diocese and silence is our ministry
Poverty our charity and helplessness our tongue-tied
Beyond the scope of sight or sound we dwell upon the air
Seeking the world's gain in an unthinkable experience.
We are exiles in the far end of solitude, living as listeners
With hearts attending to the skies we cannot understand:
Waiting upon the first far drums of Christ the Conqueror,
Planted like sentinels upon the world's frontier.
But in the days, rare days, when our Theotokos
Flying the prosperous world
Appears upon our mountain with her clothes like sails,
Then, like the wise, wild baby,
The unborn John who could not see a thing
We wake and know the Virgin Presence
Receive her Christ into our night
With stabs of an intelligence as white as lightning.
Cooled in the flame of God's dark fire
Washed in His gladness like a vesture of new flame
We burn like eagles in His invincible awareness
And bound and bounce with happiness,
Leap in the womb, our cloud, our faith, our element,
Our contemplation, our anticipated heaven
Till Mother Church sings like an Evangelist.

Annunciation by Bradi Barth
This year, because March 25th fell in Holy Week, the great feast day of the Annunciation of the Lord to Mary has been moved to Monday April 8, 2013. This feast day also marks the Incarnation of Christ our Lord. Due to this date change, Divine Mercy Sunday (the 7th) and the Annunciation (the 8th) are back-to-back.
This fact draws our attention to the incredible testimony to the Mercy of God contained within the mystery of the Incarnation of Jesus Christ. At the beginning of his 1980 encyclical letter Dives in Misericordia, On the Mercy of God, John Paul II recounts the understanding of God's mercy found in the Old Testament, then he comments:
"Christ confers on the whole of the Old Testament tradition about God's mercy a definitive meaning. Not only does He speak of it and explain it by the use of comparisons and parables, but above all He Himself makes it incarnate and personifies it. He Himself, in a certain sense, is mercy." (#2)
Later in this same encyclical John Paul II speaks of Christ's messianic program as a program of mercy, relying upon the prophet Isaiah to help define it as "the revelation of merciful love for the poor, the suffering and prisoners, for the blind, the oppressed and sinners". (#8)
Mercy is etched upon the life of Christ from Incarnation to Ascension. We are all daily beneficiaries of His program of Mercy. But John Paul II goes a step further: "Christ's messianic program, the program of mercy, becomes the program of His people, the program of the Church." (#8)
The worldwide Pro-Life community has always identified itself with the Mercy and forgiveness of God and must continue to emphasize this Program of Mercy. In the unborn and newborn Christ Child we see that God's mercy is humble, vulnerable and therefore open to misinterpretation as mere weakness. But the Christ child's humility and vulnerability, like Mercy and forgiveness are expressions of the redemptive power of God. The Pro – Life movement must continue to reflect mercy and forgiveness, in order to reach out to those most invested in so-called "abortion rights" and the destruction of humble, vulnerable human life.

The Dream of St. Joseph Artist: Francisco Rizi
In a subject that became popular in Spain during the 17th century, an angel appears to St. Joseph in a dream and explains that Mary has miraculously conceived a child. The luminous angel points to a vision of Mary with the infant Christ in her womb and the dove of the Holy Spirit above her. The veneration of the expectant Virgin as protectress of women in childbirth was prevalent at the Spanish court and was promoted by the royal confessor. Francisco Rizi was the Spanish-born son of a Bolognese painter who went to work for Philip II at the Escorial in 1583. Rizi, who became royal painter to Philip IV in 1658, was also active as a stage designer.
"An angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, 'Joseph, son of David, do not fear to take Mary your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit; she will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins' (Mt 1:20-21).
There is a strict parallel between the "annunciation" in Matthew's text and the one in Luke. The divine messenger introduces Joseph to the mystery of Mary's motherhood. While remaining a virgin, she who by law is his "spouse" has become a mother through the power of the Holy Spirit. And when the Son in Mary's womb comes into the world, he must receive the name Jesus. This was a name known among the Israelites and sometimes given to their sons. In this case, however, it is the Son who, in accordance with the divine promise, will bring to perfect fulfillment the meaning of the name Jesus-Yehos ua' – which means 'God saves.'

Die Wallfahrtskirche Birnau (The Pilgrimage Church of Birnau)
Apokalypse Maria-Ekklesia (Presbyteriu Deckenfresko)
Detail of Christ In the Womb
Birnau is a pilgrimage church at the shore of Lake Constance, between Meersburg and Überlingen. It was built in 1746-1749 for the Cistercians monastery of Salem (Germany) by Austrian architect Peter Thumb. The church interior features notable frescoes by Gottfried Bernhard Göz as well as altars and stucco ornaments in rococo style by Joseph Anton Feuchtmayer.
"In being born among us, may the Child Jesus not find us distracted or merely busy, beautifying our houses with decorative lights. Rather, let us deck our soul and make our families a worthy dwelling place where he feels welcomed with faith and love. May the Blessed Virgin and St Joseph help us to live the Mystery of Christmas with renewed wonder and peaceful serenity." Benedict XVI General Audience, December 20 2006

The Sanctuary of St. Mary of the Assumption (Pilgrimage church Mariä Himmelfahrt)
The Sanctuary of St. Mary of the Assumption (Mariä Himmelfahrt) Shrine Interior
Pregnant Madonna
Pregnant Madonna (detail)
The Sanctuary of St. Mary of the Assumption in Altotting Bogenberg on a hill overlooking the Danube is the second largest and oldest pilgrimage site in Bavaria.
The special feature of the arc mountain church is the sculpture of the pregnant Madonna (window in the womb with baby Jesus). Bogen's greatest claim to fame is this shrine to Mary high atop Bogenberg.
According to the legend, the Romanesque stone sculpture of Our Lady was found floating upstream on the Danube in 1104. In 1295 the chronicle of Oberalteich monastery for the first time mentions the legend of how the miracle-working statue which is revered in Bogenberg Church was found. According to that legend the statue had been floating upstream in the Danube and had landed on a rock in the river, which appears when the water level is low. This rock is still called "Marienstein", i.e. Marys stone. Count Aswin of Bogen is said to have recovered the statue from the rock and to have taken it to the chapel of his castle. Then a church was built on Bogenberg Hill for the statue and the hill with the church was given to the monks of Oberalteich, who encouraged the pilgrimage to the miraculous statue. The statue shows Holy Mary heavy with child. It is also the reason why many of the pilgrims who came/come to Bogenberg were/are women praying for a good childbirth.
"In Advent Christ rested in Mary still, silent, helpless, utterly dependent. The Creator trusted Himself to His creature….This was a foreshadowing of what the Incarnation would mean for us; for in us too, Christ rests as He rested in Mary. From the moment when the Christ life is conceived in us, our life is intended for one thing, the expression of His love, His love for God and for the world…. We must allow the Christ life to grow in us in rest. Our whole being must fold upon Christ's rest in us, as the earth folds upon the seed." Caryll Houselander, The Passion of the Infant Christ (London: Sheed and Ward, 1949).

Gosler Town Hall Interior
Verkündigung Mariä
The Huldigungssaal in Goslar town hall was built from 1505 to 1520 as a Council Chamber. Here is a unique gem of late Gothic art : walls, ceiling and even the window recesses are completely lined with paintings. Varied carved tendrils crown the individual whiteboards. Each and every painting is a work of art that fits in with the overwhelming impression.. It took many years but the Huldigungssaal has now been restored, with security, climate and lighting upgraded to keep this unique ensemble of artwork in pristine condition.
"The Word took possession of her chaste womb, where He was to dwell for nine months the first nine months of His sojourn on this earth. And in that temple He at once began His work, that of loving God with a human heart……All His perfect acts of love, of praise, of reverence, of service, His acts of patience and humility, of meekness and suffering, of sacrifice and mort ification and all the rest, passed up to God through Mary. From that sacred temple a fragrant incense was continually rising to heaven "a sweet smelling savor", sweeter than either earth or heaven had ever known before. For all those acts were perfect in God's sight, worthy of His acceptance; they were the acts of a perfect man. And they were also infinite because they were at the same time the acts of God Himself." Mother St. Paul, Nativitas Christi (London: Longmans, Green and Co. Ltd., 1937), 145

Treatment for a Bulging Disc
A spinal disc is the soft gelatinous material that cushions the spinal vertebrae. For many, this disc material will bulge out of its normal location and put pressure on the spinal nerves. This can occur due to ageing or injury.
For some, a bulging disc causes no symptoms, but for others, it creates low back pain, a limited range of motion, pinched nerves and pain that radiates down the legs. When a patient experiences pain, treatment for the bulging disc is in order.
Non-Invasive Treatments
Bulging disc treatment usually begins with non-invasive treatments. Often, any discomfort associated with the condition can be relieved with activity modification. Physicians and physical therapists will teach the patient proper body mechanics, such as proper lifting techniques or good posture, so that the patient can avoid causing pain or aggravating the condition further. Medications to control the pain are often prescribed. Physiotherapy techniques, like massage, ultrasound therapy and exercises to strengthen the muscles in the back, can often relive the symptoms of a bulging disc. Cortisone injections into the spine can give temporary relief as well. According to Dr. John A. Van Houten of Spine Universe, there are few complications from these less aggressive techniques.
Each patient will be given a unique treatment plan based on the location of the bulging disc and his or her pain level. However, according to the Department of Neurological Surgery at the Columbia University Medical Center, most physicians will seek more aggressive treatment if these conservative measures do not cause significant improvement in at least 12 weeks.
Chiropractic Care
In lieu of surgery, some patients with bulging discs choose the help of a chiropractor. For patients who do not have any extreme symptoms from their bulging discs, conservative chiropractic care can provide relief without the risk of surgery. To treat a bugling disc, the chiropractor will use low force spinal adjustment to realign the spine and remove or lessen the pressure on the spinal nerves. For many patients, this leads to relief of the painful symptoms.
Like non-chiropractic non-invasive techniques, more aggressive care is necessary if a patient does not respond to the chiropractic adjustments after a period of about 12 weeks. A good chiropractor will continually evaluate the patient's progress throughout the treatment period.
Surgical Repair
Open back surgery, the most aggressive treatment for a bulging disc, requires general anesthetic. The physician will access the spine through an incision near the area where the disc is bulging. A small portion of the backbone is removed so the physician can access the disc. Once the area is accessible, the physician will remove the bulging pieces of the disc. The primary goal of surgical treatment is removing the pressure on the spinal nerve that is causing discomfort.
Most physicians prefer microdiscectomy spine surgery over open surgery. This procedure involves a series of small incisions and requires no lengthy hospital stay. The physician will access the disc and remove a small portion of the tissue using tiny instruments and a microscope that allows the physician to see what is occurring. Little cutting of the muscle and soft tissue around the spine occurs during a microdiscetomy. According to the University of Southern California's Center for Spinal surgery, a microdiscectomy is one of the most common spinal surgeries currently performed.

I think most of us will agree that fast food can be delicious and satisfying in the right place at the right time. Such as Rick's Burgers on Dame St in Dublin, at 3am after a scatter of pints. However, there is some fast food that makes the skin crawl, which no amount of pints will improve.
For me, KFC is one of the worst offenders. The food is so unbelievably greasy, and the chips are rubbish (an unforgiveable crime for a fast food restaurant). On the few times that I've eaten it, I've felt like I needed a shower immediately afterwards. That's why this headline in The Onion really made me laugh: KFC No Longer Permitted To Use Word 'Eat' In Advertisements.
Does anyone else feel the same about KFC? Or is it a different outlet that gives you the creeps? Which is your fast food horror, and why?
By the way, any fellow KFC-avoiders might also like this piece by comedian Patton Oswalt about KFC's epically disgusting Famous Bowl, which is just a huge microwaved bowl of slop. It's only available in the US, for obvious reasons.

Square Wire Bound or Wirobound Brochure Printing
If your brochure needs to be thick – or if it needs to last through heavy, everyday use – you'll need a tough binding to hold it all together.
Our Square Wire-bound Brochures are built for chunky documents, and they can hold a huge number of pages safely and securely. That makes them perfect for booklets that need to survive through hundreds of uses or lots of different users – things like reference manuals, employee handbooks or training workbooks.
Just like a perfect binding, our wire bound brochures can hold far more pages than a standard stapled one. But with a less rigid spine, these booklets can be opened at any page and laid out flat on a desk – which makes them the best choice for workbooks and handbooks that need to be written in.
They're also great for showing off. With an uncommon square shape (combined with an attractive spiral spine), these square wirobound booklets can give your next business proposal or portfolio presentation an extra sense of permanence and quality.
