Your Office is Covered With Germs
We all have had a virus. We all have worked through the sniffles, the watery eyes and the aches and pains. Not everyone can afford to lay out of work over the slightest feeling of a cold virus. It makes sense to us to just push through and tough it out, right?

This week marks the 13th anniversary of the terrorist attacks, and Glen Covers are still mourning the loss of several native sons. These men have been honored locally with street signs, and their names are also engraved in the monument at the National September 11 Memorial & Museum in lower Manhattan, which opened to the public this past May.
Edward Joseph Lehman, 41, of Glen Cove, was employed by Aon Corp. and died in Tower Two. The father of two would have become a grandfather a month after the attacks.
Female rockers Antigone Rising have played gigs all over the world, but one important venue has been missing from their roster: Sea Cliff Beach. This will be amended this weekend, with a free performance on the beach in the village where half of the band members live.
"A gig like this is so special," says bass player and founding member Kristen Ellis-Henderson, who grew up in Glen Cove and now lives with her family in Sea Cliff. "It's a beautiful beach and concert setting, and will be the most special show we've played in a while."
SAFE's Glen Cove PRIDE Project Coalition's Youth Committee is dedicated to utilizing needs assessment data to identify and provide prevention activities and programs for youth. Over the summer, through the coalition's partnership with the National Guard Counterdrug Task Force, the youth committee was able to incorporate youth workshops with youth between the first and eighth grade.
"The New York National Guard Counterdrug Task Force Civil Operations Program strives to improve the health and well-being of NY's communities. We hope to accomplish this by aiding various coalitions such as Glen Cove's SAFE in achieving their goals in anyway possible. This enables us to become a force multiplier and help ensure long-term positive behavior outcomes," said Staff Sergeant David You.
A new auto parts store has arrived on Forest Avenue in Glen Cove, giving residents more options for their car repair and maintenance needs. Advance Auto Parts held a grand opening celebration last month with a ribbon cutting ceremony. The store's team members also presented a check to Building Homes for Heroes to assist with building a home for a local veteran.
General Manager Sherry Petsche spoke about her excitement at the new store opening and said they chose the charity Building Homes for Heroes because they are "helping vets and go above and beyond for the community."
The City of Glen Cove made technological strides last week with the live streaming debut of the Glen Cove City Council meeting. The Aug. 26 webcast was the first of a new feature offered to residents, allowing them to watch the meetings online if they are unable to attend in person. Meetings are then available for viewing for 24 hours.
"There are many reasons our residents may not be able to attend our city council meetings, therefore I made arrangements for the meetings to be live-streamed over the Internet. This way, they are able to see their elected officials interact and residents will have information firsthand, straight from the source," said Mayor Reginald Spinello.
While many people may dream of doing something as extraordinary as singing the National Anthem at a major sports event, it's become tradition for Glen Cove native and AHRC resident Adam Levine.
On Tuesday, Aug. 26, Levine, 47, born with Down syndrome, stepped up to belt out the National Anthem for the New York Mets. Performing annually at CitiField since 2010, Levine approached home plate with a veteran state of mind. Following his performance, Levine received a standing ovation as he gleefully skipped off the field, running into his parents' arms with a gratified smile. The long list of Adam's fans included 100 #TEAMADAM supporters from AHRC Nassau.
Local residents were out in full force at Thursday night's zoning board meeting at Glen Cove City Hall in opposition of a new 7-11 convenience store that is set to be built at the corner of 4th Street and Cedar Swamp Road. According to Stuart Grossman, chairman of the Zoning Board, the meeting was officially supposed to be focused on sign variances for the new store, but residents wanted to make sure their voices were heard.
New York State Assemblyman and Frost Pond Road resident Michael Montesano said that he hopes the board will deny the application for the new 7-11 because of the traffic impact and light pollution the new store will create.
If you missed the 6th annual champagne party at Coe Hall in Planting Fields, put it on your calendar for next year, because this is the party of the summer. A total of 175 guests attended, many in costume, a new addition to the popular event. The always ebullient Henry Joyce, executive director of Planting Fields Foundation, greeted his guests with his date, Daphne, a 3-month-old long-haired Dachshund, who is a companion for his Great Dane, Lucy.
"This is a splendid event to celebrate Coe Hall and Planting Fields; everything looks so wonderful in the summer," said Joyce. "The gardens are glorious and we have a new exhibition to celebrate and it's just so lovely to be out here in these gardens."
The Mayor's Annual Snapper Derby had plenty of kids, fish and fun on the Pryibil Beach Pier in Glen Cove this past Saturday. On the pier were lots of parents and children fishing for prizes. Below the pier the snappers in the water were only too happy to cooperate with the children trying to catch them. For a while it looked like the children were "catching" and not fishing.
The Glen Cove City Council's decision to allow amplified music at outdoor cafes at last week's special meeting was music to the ears of The View Grill manager Frank Venturino. The council voted 6-1 in favor of the decision to allow music from the period of Aug. 12 to Sept. 30. Councilman Efraim Spagnoletti was the only council member to vote no on the resolution.
"We just want to have some background entertainment for our patrons while they are at our restaurant," said Venturino. "We don't plan to get wild with the music. We just want to support local talent who entertain people with a microphone and maybe an acoustic guitar from 3 to 7 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays."

The Eagles have placed 26-year old linebacker Moise Fokou on the Injured Reserve List due to a ankle injury. Fokou played in 11 games for the Eagles this year and he finished up with 22 tackles, 2 passes defensed and 2 tackles for a loss. He has now played in 43 games in his first three years with the Eagles and he has 112 tackles, 1 sack, 1 forced fumble, 2 fumble recoveries, 4 tackles for a loss and 4 passes defensed. This will hurt the Eagles' depth at linebacker and it will hurt the special teams.

This application is a divisional application of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/378,518, filed Mar. 3, 2003, now U.S. Pat. No. 7,208,006, the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference.
1. Field of the Invention
The invention concerns a process and an instrument for stretching tissue of skin.
2. Description of the Related Art
For closing large wounds and skin defects it is known from, for example, U.S. Pat. No. 5,486,196 and U.S. Pat. No. 5,618,310 to mechanically stretch the skin surrounding the wound or the skin defect, thereby inducing accelerated tissue regeneration. Distractors are employed for this skin stretching, which are anchored in the skin and include pulling means. These pulling means transmit a pulling force to the skin tissue for stretching the skin. A higher pull force brings about a stronger tissue proliferation. A high pull force however also has as a consequence that on the pressure side, ahead of the pull means, the skin tissue is compressed. In the instrument known from U.S. Pat. No. 5,486,196 the pull force is transmitted to the skin tissue via a long inter-dermal needle, which is anchored in the skin parallel to the edge of the wound. Thereby higher pull forces can be transmitted to skin tissue, without the pressure on the pressure side of the long needle rising above a critical closure pressure of the tissue system, which could lead to ischemia of the tissue. In the case of the instrument disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,618,310 the pull force is introduced via a needle stuck into the skin at one point. Accordingly, the pull force is limited such that the critical closure pressure which could lead to ischemia on the pressure side of the needle is not exceeded. This limitation on the pull force also means a limitation on the stretching of the skin, so that an optimal tissue new formation is not achieved.
The invention is concerned with the task of providing a process and an instrument via which, for the stretching of the tissue of the skin, a high pull force can be introduced point wise into skin without the pull means causing damage of the tissue on the pressure side.
Preferred embodiments of the invention are disclosed in the respective dependent claims.
The essential idea of the invention is comprised therein, that a cyclic alternating pull force is introduced into the skin via the pull means anchored at a point in the skin. Therein the pull force preferably alternates between two different values. The first value of the pull force is selected to be as large as possible, in order to stimulate a high as possible tissue new formation. This first value of the pull force is limited in its upper value essentially only by the resistance to tear of the skin. The first value is thus selected to be so high, that on the pressure side of the pull force the critical closure pressure of the venous capillary system of the skin is exceeded and thus ischemia is caused. This high pull force is maintained for a period of time which is within the ischemia tolerance duration of the skin tissue. Any duration of ischemia longer than this tolerance duration leads to a pressure induced dying of the skin tissue and therewith to a necrosis on the pressure side of the pull means. The ischemia tolerance duration of skin tissue is approximately 6 to 7 hours. Prior to reaching this ischemia tolerance duration, at which necrosis of the skin tissue is to be feared on the pressure side of the pull means, the pull force is reduced to a second value, which is so selected that the pressure exercised on the tissue on the pressure side of the pull means lies below the critical closure pressure of approximately 20-40 mm Hg. As a result of the pressure reduction the tissue is freed again ahead of the pull means for blood perfusion in the tissue and a rapid maximal reperfusion of the tissue occurs. This reperfusion occurs already after approximately 15 seconds, so that after approximately 0.5 to 5 minutes a complete perfusion and blood flow through the tissue on the pressure side of the pull means is ensured and the pull force can again be brought to the first high value. As a result of this cyclic change of the pull force a very high pull force for the tissue stretching of the skin can be employed for a prolonged duration of up to several days without the occurrence of a damaging of the skin and in particular a necrosis of the tissue on the pressure side of the pull means. The process and the instrument are thus suited in particular for the prolonged skin distraction for closure of large surface area skin defects.
In a preferred embodiment of the invention two groups of pull means are anchored in the skin, wherein the pull means of the two groups are arranged alternatingly side-by-side and preferably in a row transverse to the direction of the pull force. Via the first group of the pull means the first high pull force is introduced into the skin, during which time the second group of pull means is relaxed and introduces the second�lower�pull force. The two groups of pull means thereby alternate periodically over time in the value of their pull force, wherein the periodicity of the change-over is smaller than the ischemia tolerance of the skin tissue. Thereby continuously the maximal pull force is exercised upon the skin by one of the groups of the pull means, so that the optimal pull force for tissue regeneration is exercised without interruption. On the other hand, the pull force is respectively alternatingly relaxed, so that the tissue on the pressure side of the pull means can respectively regenerate completely during this relaxation phase.
In an advantageous design the pull means are in the form of hooks, which are stuck into the skin. In this case the hooks are in the form of hook modules in a hook receptacle, wherein the hook receptacle receives at least two hook modules, so that respectively at least one hook is available for each of the two groups. The hook modules in the hook receptacles are advanced preferably alternatingly by suitable adjusting means in the direction of the pull force. On the hook receptacles a high pull force with the first value is continuously exercised. This pull force is introduced into the skin via the hooks of the respective advanced hook module. The hooks of the respective non-advanced hook module is in this manner relaxed. The relaxed hook module is retracted by the elasticity of the skin until it no longer exercises any substantial pull force upon the skin. Alternatively the relaxed hook module can be pulled back by a spring force. It is likewise also possible to retract the relaxed hook module by positive control means.
The repositioning of the hook module, that is the advancing of the hook module exercising the pull force and the releasing or in the case may be the drawing back of the released hook module can occur in various ways. Since with regard to the ischemia tolerance duration of approximately 6 to 7 hours, it can be calculated that if the alternation between the two groups of pull means should be carried out in time intervals of several hours, a simple manual adjustment would be practicable. For an automated long duration treatment the adjustment can be carried out using an electric motor or a pneumatic means, which are adapted to be automatically controlled.
In the following the invention will be described in greater detail on the basis of the illustrative embodiments represented in the figures. There is shown
The jaws 10 respectively exhibit one hook receptacle 18, in which hook module 20 can be seated. The hook receptacle 10 and the hook module 20 are so designed, that at least two hook modules 20 can be seated next to each other in the hook receptacle 18. In the shown embodiment respectively five hook modules 20 are seated in a hook receptacle 18. The hook receptacle 18 is provided on the jaws 10 in such a manner, that the hook modules 20 seated in the hook receptacle 18 are arranged side-by-side in a row, whereby this row runs perpendicular to the adjustment path of the jaws 10, that is, in the illustrated embodiment according to
In the illustrated embodiments the hook receptacles 18 are in the form of hollow forms, preferably hollow quadratic shapes, in which the hook modules 20 can be inserted. The hook modules 20 exhibit a cross-section adapted to the quadric hollow shape of the hook receptacle 18, so that in later described manner there are movable in the hook receptacle 18 perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the profile, that is in the direction of the pull force or as the case may be in the movement direction of the jaws 10.
As can be seen particularly from
This opposing moveability of the hook modules 20 with the hooks 22 makes possible the following process for stretching the tissue of the skin.
The hooks 22 are stuck into the skin to be stretched. For example, the hooks 22 of the two jaws 10 are stuck into the skin on the oppositely lying edges of a large surface area skin defect or a wound. The jaws 10 are then moved towards each other via the adjusting means 12, 14, in order to bring the wound edges towards each other and to stretch the skin outside of the wound edges. In accordance with the invention the drive of the jaws 10 occurs in such a manner, that a high pull force is exercised on the skin via the hooks 22. The pull force essentially may not exceed the tear resistance of the skin, which is approximately 15 N/mm2 since in this case the hooks 22 would be torn from the skin. Since the hook module 20 of the one group is advanced in the pull direction, this high pull force is introduced into the skin essentially only via the hooks 22 of the advanced hook module, that is, in the representation according to
The high pull force, which is introduced via the advanced hooks 22 of the hook module 20.1, 20.3 and 20.5 (
By the position exchange of the hook modules 20.1, 20.3 and 20.5 of the first group and the hook modules 20.2 and 20.4 of the second group occurring over set period of time it is possible to carry out the skin stretching over a long treatment duration of hours and days, wherein the maximal pull load can be exercised on the tissue continuously over the entire breadth of the hook receptacles 18. The spot or point loading alternates thereby however in regular time intervals between the hooks 22 of the first group and the hooks 22 of the second group, so that despite the high pull load, a tissue damage due to low blood flow does not occur.
The alternating displacement of the hook modules 20 of the first and second groups can be accomplished in various ways.
In the embodiment according to
A rotation of the adjustment shafts 24 by 180� results in this embodiment in an exchange of the positions of the hook modules 20.1, 20.3 and 20.5 of the first group with the hook modules 20.2 and 20.4 of the second group. Since the adjustment cams 28 lie against the front and the rear inner wall surfaces of the hook modules 20, the hook modules 20 are positively moved both in the forward movement as well as in the retraction movement by the adjustment cams 28. The relaxation of the hooks 22 of the retracted hook module 20 occurs thus by force and independent of the elastic return spring force exercised by the skin upon these hooks.
In this embodiment the adjustment shaft 24 runs behind the hook modules 20. On the adjustment shaft 24 are seated adjustment cams 28, which are respectively associated with the individual hook modules 20. Therein the adjustment cams 28 which are associated with the hook modules 20.1, 20.3 and 20.5 of the first group are set off with respect to the adjustment cams 28 which are associated with the hook modules 20.2 and 20.4 of the second group by 90� on the adjustment shaft 24, as can be seen in
In this embodiment the hook modules 20 are positively moved in the advanced position and held there by the adjustment cams 28. The inactive hook modules 20 are only released by the associated adjustment cams 28, so that these are no longer supported. The hook module 20 moves back in this embodiment on the basis of the elastic return spring force of the skin acting upon the hooks 22. The relaxed hook modules move back under the elasticity effect of the skin to the point that their hooks 22 no longer exercise any significant force on the skin. Thereby the compression force exercised by the relaxed hook modules 20 on the pressure side of the hooks 22 upon the skin tissue falls to practically zero.
In all embodiments of the invention the pull force acting to stretch the tissue is produced by the movement of the jaws 10. This pull force is introduced constantly in the tissue, in particular also in the case of a long time stretching. The introduction of the pull force into the tissue is however over time periodically alternatingly distributed over various hooks. The hooks are thereby relaxed in regular time intervals, so that in the pressure areas the tissue perfusion is completely restored and no necrosis occurs.

Comments are appreciated. For those that role played in Amnesia, I think you know who this character is. Suggestions for short stories in the comments will be considered.
Chapter One:
A lone figure sat still before a long ominous valley. His breathing was steady. The eyes were closed; he was in a deep trance. Two moons shone dimly in the sky, fixed and never moving. In this land, day was eternally twilight.
The figure opened his eyes and looked carefully around him. It was deathly quiet. The winds echoed from the south, stirring up grains of sand that brushed harmlessly against his side. To his right was a lake. He gazed quietly at the lake. It was mesmerizing, the waves held a color of pure indigo, reflected from the moonlight. Such beauty calmed his soul.
He stood up. A lone figure emerged from the valley, walking towards him until it stopped a few meters away from him. A female Nerazim was in war gear, ready to fight at any moment. An intricate stave was pointed towards him. It was carved with the bones of the indigenous wildlife and decorated with ancient runes. The moon casted a long shadow over the female Nerazim so that it enveloped the lone figure.
"It is time for your test aspirant. Are you prepared?" The one in question nodded his head. "You may be at the top of your class but be warned, this is not easy. Are you prepared?" The figure nodded. "I am more than prepared Magistra Azira."
"Strong words for one as young as yourself." Azira chuckles. "I admire your confidence, but talk is cheap. Let's see that confidence of yours into action." She lowered her stave and stepped aside. "Your test begins now Razuc."
Razuc stepped into the valley. He looked to his sides, carefully checking his surroundings. The sides of the valley were cliffs; rocky with many jagged and pointed ends. The two moons were hidden but they casted their moonlight creating shadows that covered the valley. Slimmers of light penetrated the darkness.
He held up his weapon, a dull club used for knocking out unwary victims. He cloaked and slowly approached the cliff walls where the shadows were. He paused briefly, carefully scanning the area for any potential threats.
"You are all now approaching adulthood and it is time for your passage of rites." Magistra Azira spoke, pacing around the room full of Nerazim students. "All of what you learned, your fighting prowess, your psionic abilities, your wits and body will be pushed to the test."
As he surveyed the area, he focused his eyes on a particularly large rock that was in front of him. The ground on which the rock stood bore distinctive traces of footsteps near it; the winds did not completely blow away the tracks. Someone was there. He slowly approached the rock. Was it a trap? Did someone deliberately leave them there?
At last he was in front of the rock. Razuc's hands instinctively reached for the club. Perhaps it was more prudent to have my hands free. There was not a single sound heard. His nerves tingled with excitement. Jumped over the rock, he turned around midair and saw a shimmering presence hiding in the darkness. As he landed, he quickly charged at this invisible would-be assailant, knocking him against the rock.
The assailant decloaked, grimacing in pain and gasping for air. Razuc backed off only to clench his fists, delivering a series of fast, powerful blows to the hapless Nerazim. He buckled over. Razuc executed a crisp chop on the exposed neck. The body plopped to the ground, unconscious.
That was too easy, what an elementary mistake. He cloaked himself and continued to walk, always hugging to the side of the valley where the shadows provided cover. I wonder what the elders have in store for me.
"For your rites, you will all perform the Shadow Walk. If you succeed, you will be officially recognized as a true Dark Templar. But it is not an easy path. You will find many obstacles that will hinder you as you attempt to make it through the valley. But fear not, I trust that all of you will make it through."
Razuc suddenly found himself on his knees. He focused his energy to sprinted to a nearby rock for cover. Sharp pain coursed freely on his back. It was scorched, but not enough to maim him. A psionic bolt had appeared from nowhere and hit his back. Razuc had only enough time to use his psionics to mitigate the worst of its effects.
He cursed at himself for his lack of focus. "Today is the most important day of my life, and I let myself get caught in an ambush." The rock began to shake with great force. Bits and pieces of rocks flew all over the place.
Razuc felt his heart beat quickly. "I cannot let it end here! Think! Where can they be?" Razuc felt his hand shake uncontrollably. This sensation...was it fear that he felt? He gripped his hand tightly. "No, I cannot panic now, I must focus and control my emotions."
He crouched and looked in front of him. The pounding was relentless and he knew he had a few precious seconds left before he was exposed in the open. Observing ruins ahead, he knew that his only chance was getting there. Razuc sprinted away from his hiding place as the last blast finally revealed him.
As he ran, Razuc turned his head to see his attacker. A Nerazim was on top of a nearby cliff shooting projectiles at him. In turn, Razuc picked up sizable chunks of rocks with his powers and hurled them at the projectiles, greatly reducing its trajectory. "You will not stop me!" yelled Razuc.
Magistra Azira stood above the valley, quietly observing the fighting below. Razuc was running for his life, using the environment for cover. He was very close to the ruins now. Another Nerazim approached Azira. G'henk the Wise spoke, "He is a resourceful one Azira. You have trained him well." Azira nodded. "Naturally, he is my student and he possesses a sharp mind. He will succeed."
G'henk laughed. "Are you so sure about that? You do know who is in charge of the ruins right?" Azira made no movement, only watching Razuc's progress. Razuc threw himself into the entrance of the ruins. His attacker reached the edge of the cliff and shot one last bolt where Razuc stood before disappearing in the shadows. "I am sure my disciple will be able to handle it," she replied...

Chapter Two:
Razuc was face down on the floor, eyes closed and breathing heavily. His body screamed in pain, the muscles ached horribly and his back, burned. The crackle of the psi bolts stopped. Was he no longer pursued? Razuc could not tell. Silence was once again his only companion.
He was exposed in the open, clearly seeing the two moons. "Stand in the moonlight, and you will surely be finished." Razuc remembered the words of his teacher. Mustering his strength, the stood up. The ruins were very old, their origins most likely Xel'naga. They were fairly large and the buildings were compact, casting shadows that were seemed to go forever. The buildings aged with time, worn form the passage of the elements.
He staggered and walked to the towards the darkness, trying to find a place of respite. A harsh, cold wind sliced their way around the buildings. The winds lifted up the sands which swirled upwards and danced in the air. Suddenly, it came crashing down on Razuc ferociously. The sands smacked against his sore body over and over. It bit him everywhere and blocked his vision. Razuc moaned, "Alas! Even the elements turn against me!"
Razuc covered his face. "I must find cover inside or else I will be swallowed up by this sand storm." The winds picked up more speed, obscuring his vision until he barely make out the outlines of the buildings. I must trust in the guidance of the void.
Closely his eyes, he allowed the void to guide his senses. When he came to, the storm was still raging but Razuc found himself in front of an open door. He went in and closed the doors with difficulty.
Now safe from the storm, Razuc sat down to rest his weary body. The constant barrage of sand wore down on him. He removed his tunic. It was burned at the back and irritated his sore body because of the sand that was stuck in it. I can only rest now and wait for the passing of the storm. Razuc closed his eyes, allowing his body slowly to heal.
The storm was as ferocious as ever outside. It howled and screamed. It slammed itself against the walls. Yet a hooded figure paid no attention to the raging elements. Walking swiftly, the figure came to a stop to pick up a handful of sand in the ground. It was bloodied. A foolish, injured soul had entered his domain. He turned around and walked, still grasping the sand. "Can he pierce the veil...Will he overcome this tribulation?" He opened his hands, letting the sand blow away.
Razuc finally heard the winds die down. The ache and the soreness was mostly gone but the burns he had received were there to stay. He flexed his arm. It was okay. So I am not in the best shape but I am much, much better now. If I complete this, I should avoid combat if I can and concentrate on getting to the end of valley.
He stepped outside and he was able to see again. He noticed that he was atop a hill. The end of the valley was a few hundred feet away and the ruins continued for only another 50 or so feet. If I encounter no one, I can get there within the hour.
Razuc cloaked and treaded carefully, taking his time to navigate through the ruins. Once or twice, he felt something trailing him but he could not locate any presence. Razuc walked slowly, always checking behind him. Am I paranoid?
There was a snap. Razuc took out his club and eyed the area carefully. He moved backwards slowly, attentive to his surroundings. Even though I am hidden in the shadows, I am in a fairly open space where I can be attacked from any direction. I must get away from here quickly.
As he slowly back off, Razuc heard a whoosh behind him. He turned around quickly seeing a black blur in the sky. Rolling out of the way, the black blur landed on where Razuc once stood with such speed, a cloud of dust and sand emerged. Razuc could only see an obscure figure in its wake.
To Razuc's horror, it was not only one dark templar that emerged from the cloud but three. Each one wore a different attire of war gear, one with a stave, another with two clubs and a third weaponless; all of them still equally fearsome. The three dark ones were silent and they slowly approach Razuc.

Chapter Three:
Razuc could not believe his eyes. Time and time again, he ran into ever higher obstacles. First, he was injured in the back and forced to run for his life. Then a powerful sandstorm impeded his journey and now he was face to face with three rather powerful looking, masked dark templars.
Razuc back off slowly. He legs were numb. Is this the end? Are my efforts for naught? Razuc felt his back against the wall. The Three approached him, raising their weapons. Razuc closed his eyes waiting for oblivion.
"But how can we possible do this?" a student asked incredulously. Azira looked directly at the student's eyes. "There are no such things as guarantees in life. Anything can and will turn against you. But when that happens, do not be afraid. Keep yourself focused and fight. Fight until you see the path. Courage and knowledge will be your friend. You will find a way in the end."
Razuc opened his eyes in time to see The Three usher forth their might upon Razuc. A thunderous boom echoed through the ruins. Dust and rubble flew all over. The wall was torn down by brute force. A battered, bloodied body, barely breathing, slumped along the wall.
"So he has failed," said the wielder of the staff. "Truly, what a pity. Perhaps next year," the unarmed one said. The last one spoke "Carry him, he has failed to pierce the veil."
Chapter 4:
Razuc's body was carried to a hidden gateway somewhere in the ruins. A lone Nerazim was there. The body was dumped on the ground. The Three vanished in a puff of smoke. "It seems that Azira had put too much faith in this one. He has fallen like all the others and failed to see the through the mirages."
Korlen grunted and picked Razuc up. "I suppose you were fated to fail after setting foot in the ruins instead of taking the alternate routes. Such tragic circumstances. Far'zh did a number on you. You never had a chance boy." He activated the gateway. "Still, I suppose I should give you credit for taking down Aldim."
Korlen found himself next the G'henk and Azira. He rested the body on the ground. "Do you see that Azira? Your favorite pupil has failed." G'henk went over and placed his hands over Razuc. "He is still breathing, we can take him to the infirmary. But next time, go easier Korlen. You shattered many of his bones."
"Bah! What does it matter? It is my job to impede their progress and that I did." Korlen walked towards Azira. "So then are you ready to concede defeat?" Azira chuckled softly. "My dear Korlen, perhaps you should not quickly claim victory. After all, a master of deceit should know when he is cheated."
"What? What are you talking about?" Azira laughed boisterously. "See if the Razuc you brought is real." Korlen stared at the body. "Of course he is, I even checked his pulse and verified that his body is real."
Azira went over to the body. "I know my students and I can tell you that what you see here is nothing but an imitation. Watch carefully, the effects should disappear right about now." Razuc's body flickered on and off and then vanished in a puff of smoke.
Korlen could not take his eyes off the ground where Razuc once laid. "In my arrogance, I was blinded by the very doctrine that I was suppose to live by." He fell on his knees and hung his head in shame. "I...I concede defeat Azira. Your student was the first in a long time to be able to best me."
Azira patted his back. "There, there, I am sure you can still teach him much more. After all, you had three very powerful hallucinations that no doubt scared him." Korlen sighed. "Perhaps I could. If he can make this level of hallucinations, he will be able to learn my arts easily."
Azira looked at the ruins. A small figure was running away from it, closing in on the final checkpoint. "Stay vigilant Razuc, never let your guard down."
Edited by smylez on 1/13/2012 8:14 PM PST
Chapter 5:
Razuc had ran for life as quickly as his legs could carry him. He had narrowly avoided a terrible fate, his quick thinking in that instant had saved his life. Perhaps it was the near death experience that allowed him to perform such an arduous task.
As the weapons fell on him, Razuc blinked away, instantaneously leaving a hallucinated copy of himself. He had hidden himself, nearby, not daring to twitch a muscle in fear that he would be discovered. Only when their footsteps died did Razuc cloak and sprint out of the ruins.
By the time they discovered the double, Razuc would be long gone. Once again, he found himself in the valley. Trying to catch his breath, he rested beside a large, worn rock, wary and alert of any possible ambush. I am not out of danger yet.
He could see the end of the valley now where a small shrine rested. His tribulations were almost finished. A gentle zephyr whispered in the valley. It was soothing, a sensation that Razuc enjoyed and calmed his tremulous soul. The two moons were in full view now, the shadows were slowing receding.
Although Razuc wanted nothing more than to enjoy the wind, he knew he had more pressing matters at hand. He stood up, refreshed, and continued to trek to the end of the valley. I am almost there. I will be ready for contingencies.
Razuc tried to stay as close as possible to the shadows but they soon retreated as the moons were directly overhead. The altar was a full minute sprint. I will be seen much more easily now, I must run as fast as I can to the altar.
He was closing in on the altar when he sensed something was closing in on him from behind. He blink sideways and turned around. It was the Nerazim that had blasted him. "You again...I won't fall for the same trick twice." growled Razuc. He stood upI do not have time for this, I am so close to my goal.
Razuc carefully backed up towards the shrine, his eyes closely watching Far'zh's hands. Far'zh gathered up psi energy on both hands. He will lock down my movements and eventually overwhelm me if I don't take him down. If I can close in the distance, I would stand a far greater chance of beating him.
Far'zh unleashed both bolts at Razuc. In a flash, Razuc ran forward towards the two bolts. Merely inches from his face, he blinked forward, closing in on Far'zh. I am near him, and it seems like his reaction is slow.
Far'zh made a talon with each hands and motioned them backwards. What is he doing? Nothing appeared from Far'zh. A feeling of unease washed over Razuc. He turned his head, hoping that it was not what he thought it was.
The two psi blast split into many different beams and they were now homing in on Razuc. Razuc, stopped, his nerves fired up and he dodged the onslaught of beams by a hair's breadth. Brilliant, it seems this one has some tricks up his sleeves. The wind picked up speed and the sand brushed harmlessly against Razuc.
Razuc knew his reserves of energy were running low and the situation was looking more dire by the minute. His stamina was also running out and Far'zh was drawing him away from the shrine. There was one thing that Razuc could only do with the remainder of his energy and he had only one shot at it.
Far'zh shot another psi bolt. As it traveled to Razuc, he raised a sand wall and flung it all at Far'zh. The dark templar used his psionic to blow away the sands, all of it picked up by the strong winds. He squinted his eyes looking for Razuc. Another sand storm was kicking in.
There he was! He shot two bolts in succession towards a shimmering figure approaching him. The bolts hit their target and the figure cried in pain. That was too easy thought Far'zh. He heard footsteps behind him. Impossible! he thought, I was sure I hit him. Well then, I will make sure you do not get up. Four more bolts hit their mark. "Try getting up from that!" he yelled triumphantly. A shadow over him briefly. He looked up and to his horror was Razuc.
Razuc was in the air directly above Far'zh, his club was readied for clobbering. It came down with a a vengeance on Far'zh's face, leaving him with a bloodied face. Razuc collapsed, his energy spent. The winds died and the sand settled to the ground.
"I..am not finished....yet...there is still...work...to be..f-finished..." He gasped. "I...will not stop here...I WILL NOT STOP HERE!" With his willpower, Razuc forced his body to get up. His legs were shaking uncontrollably. "Move, damn it. I SAID MOVE." He took small, agonizing steps. Every step felt like a eternity. He was so close yet he felt so far.
At last, Razuc finally arrived at the base of the shrine and threw himself at the steps. His tribulations were finished. He turned around, facing the heavens. The stars shone brightly, the moons were fixed, unmoving. It was deathly quiet; the only sound he heard was his jagged breaths. He turned his head sideways to the right. The lake was there, a beautiful indigo color, a mesmerizing color that had always gave him serenity. He closed his eyes and fell to a deep sleep.
Razuc completed the Shadow Walk and later attained the rank of Prelate. He took on a variety of missions for Shakuras and eventually the Daelaam, the unified Protoss organization of the Khalai and the Nerazim. His abilities in combat and tactical prowess is among the best having learned them all from masters. His last mission and last known location was in Sector XYZ, where he was sent to retrieve a Xel'naga artifact led by a strike force under Cal'zur. The location and status of all Dark Templars sent to the area is currently unknown and reports of the sector do not show anything conclusive.

"a good value overall"
There was a reason the price for my room was such a good value, the window was on a dark airshaft and the room was somewhat stuffy. They did offer me an upgrade at a reasonable price which a took after a couple of nights. The location was great for me, not in the middle of all the tourist stuff, but in an interesting neighborhood with a lot of interesting […] restaurants of variable quality (some were great). I walk a lot so I had no problem reaching things like the Gaudi cathedral and the Ramblas and there are lots of mass transit options close by. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Balmes- Barcelona"
Clean, Calm, Affordable cost, Definitely come back and recommend to friends... Because Winter time, we didn't use the pool and sauna, but like the place. One small problem, we booked for a double bed but we got a 2 twin beds.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Hotel Balmes-Calle Mallorca in Eixample, Barcelona"
Small boutique hotel with unbelievable location. Walking distance to the University area, Passeig de Gracia as well as Plaza Catalunya and the Rambla area. Excellent choice of restaurants within three blocks and swift access to the Metro to get you to further out destinations such as Park Guell or to the Plaza Espanya to catch trains to nearby towns […] such as Montserrat. The staff was courteous and friendly and the room was clean and comfortable, although there were some signs of wear. The hotel was equipped with a restaurant, a pool and hot tub as well. Our flight arrived early and the front desk allowed us to check into our room well before the official check in time of 3PM. In addition, we were allowed to leave our luggage after check out, since our flight didn't leave till late at night. My biggest issue was in fact a minor concern-- in that some keys were stuck on the keyboard on the one computer for guest use in the lobby. Over-all I would definitely recommend this hotel to friends and family, and I would definitely stay there again. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"3 night break in Barcelona"
My 14-year old son and I had a great 3 days in Barcelona; we sometimes worry that we'll get the 'single parent room' when we book a hotel anywhere, ie. overlooking the dustbins etc. But our room was lovely, with a balcony overlooking the street. We were out for most of the day, but our room was nice enough to chill out in when we needed to. Free Wi-Fi […] worked well. Thoroughly recommend both Barcelona, and the hotel for a great mini-break.

"Great place"
The hotel ended up being a lot better than I expected when I booked our room. We were all really impressed with the cleanliness of the rooms and the overall style of the hotel. It was very nicely decorated. I was also particularly satisfied with the concierge service. The staff were always happy to help me with plans, directions, advice, etc. I must […] have sought advice from the same man at LEAST four times and he was really patient and very, very helpful. We only took advantage of breakfast once. In my opinion, it was a little more pricey than most hotels, but the food was delicious and always warm and refreshed. I would recommend staying here, if you get the chance. It was worth the money. (And I'm saying that as a typical, broke college student, so you know it's true.)

Just returned from a 4 day stay at balmes hotel barcelona.what a lovely hotel, lovely rooms, clean and tidy.clean towels every day even tho they said its every other, friendly staff, pool clean but very cold lol lots of bars, restaurants to chose from.15 min walk from playa catulunya and la ramblas.def would returnGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Dog friendly hotel, helpful staff"
Good location, hotel provided dog sitting staff for ten euros per hour when we had a function to attend one evening. The room was clean with mini bar fridge but sub standard wall insulation for pipe works - you can hear toilets flushing and showering etc in rooms above as the pipes ran down through the interior of guest rooms and not on the outside […] corridor walls as would be normal practice. Also some toilet smells came into the guest rooms because of the poor insulation of soil pipes. A bonus is the parking which the hotel has 20 spaces. But there is also secure public car park directly opposite the hotel for same charge of twenty four euros per day. This is a good 3 star hotel and would be even better if they fix their plumbing!

"A Quirky Hotel"
This hotels location was fantastic as it was within walking distance to good metro stations and the placa de catalunya. Never experienced the food services here but the room was always cleaned to a high standard and the pool facilities exceeded my expectations. My only negatives would be that being on a split level family room on the ground floor with […] a terrace close to the pool meant we were very over looked and sometimes disturbed by the noise also the corridors could be quite noisy if someone is checking in/out late, the reception staff were often appeared grumpy but always had an answered to every request or question. Overal a pleasant stay at Hotel Balmes. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review

Although the hotel was very nice, the swimming pool was extremely small and good not really be used as such so if this is what you are after then it may be advisable to look elsewhere. I enjoyed my stay though and the room cleanliness and condition were both excellent.Genuine Expedia guest review

Better than we expected. Only downside were the maids at 7.30 each morning banging their carts around and speaking loudly to each other down the hallway. Free wifi worked perfectly.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Decent hotel in a perfect location."
Really decent hotel in the middle of Barcelona. I didn't have to use any public transport as all places of interest were within walking distance. The room itself was clean and tidy, very comfortable beds. The only minus was very poor WiFi in the room.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
Great location. Awesome staff. Clean. No vent in bathroom. Stopper for tub missing. No coffee in room. Paper thin walls. Poor wifi and cool air. No I've machine or access to one. Overrated breakfast, not worth it. Tiny pool, good for cooling off if sunbathing.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great Hotel in good location"
Stayed here for 3 nights, Reception staff on arrival very friendly & welcoming. We chose not to have breakfast as was cheaper eating out. Room lovely very clean, with a comfy bed, facilities very good with a nice pool and jacuzzi and a very nice garden area to relax in. Was very easy to see the city some places of interest within walking distance, […] with some amazing bars and restaurants in the local area. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Excellent location"
A friend and I had a two night stay to sightsee and shop. The hotel was well placed for both of these. It is modern and clean and once we moved from the rooms we were initially given at street side to the back of the hotel we found it very relaxing. A necessity for me is wifi and this was free of charge for the first three days (perfect for my length […] of stay, but had I been staying longer that would have been a disappointment). If I return to Barcelona again I will certainly stay at this hotel provided there is no major price rise. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Clean, good location, helpful staff. But noisy."
We were offered a room upgrade on the basis that it would give us a view and a 'quieter' room. In hindsight we should have taken more notice of the emphasis on noise! We didn't upgrade and our room suffered from noise at all hours from the corridors, the rooms above, and very noisy plumbing. It sounded like all the waste pipes for the entire hotel passed […] behind the wall of our room. Our room suffered from 'wear and tear' such as broken tiles and a chipped sink which detracted a little from the experience. But these things are typical of a 'budget' room. However, it was very clean, and the staff were friendly and obliging. The location is *great*. There are some good restaurants close by, and a 24hr corner-shop just down the street. Landmarks such as Placa Catalunya, La Rambla, Casa Batllo, and La Pedrera are within easy (10 min) walking distance, as are a couple of Metro stations, and stops for the popular tour-bus routes. Sagrada Familia is an easy 25min stroll on the flat. We didn't use the restaurant. The biggest disappointment was the Wi-Fi internet, which was a 'must' on our list of requirements. Unfortunately it is run by a third-party and the 'free' service is actually quite limited (web browsing only –expires in 3 days). I upgraded to the paid service but even that is slow, unreliable, and annoyingly requires frequent re-entry of your credentials. If WiFi is important to you Balmes is not for you!

close to centre of town - clean - breakfast choice limited to buffet only which was very expensive- alternative cafes close byGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Very nice hotel in great location."
For the cost, you would be hard pressed to find a hotel in such a great location. Located one street west of Rambla de Catalunya which joins the famous La Rambla at Placa de Catalunya, this hotel was ideal for our sightseeing week in Barcelona. From the outside the hotel is unassuming, but upon stepping into the foyer you are greeted by a shimmering […] hallway of bronze and marble that houses part of the hotel's exhibition of African art. The rooms are no disappointment either: ours contained a larger-than-double bed, small table and chairs, dressing table/desk with a TV and mini-bar, and a leather sofa. The décor is contemporary without being cold and the bathroom complete with shower over bath was above standard for a 3 star hotel. My fiancee found the hairdryer a little lacklustre, and the cost of breakfast helped make sure we didn't hang around the hotel every morning but beyond those two minor points this hotel was just what we were looking for.

"Nice and clean hotel close to the shops"
It was a nice and short stay at the hotel Balmes, stuff was trying to help but obviously language was a barrier , I would go there again for a short stay, making sure I would not stay in room 102 I could hear the people at the reception all night longGenuine Expedia guest review
"Great location, LIES on facilities! Rude staff."
Rooms NOT soundproofed, could hear next door flushing their loo, showering, talking, etc. Wifi was unobtainable in the room because the signal was so weak. Pool and terrace NOT rooftop, or sunny, except for a couple of hours in the middle of the day, as totally surrounded by tall buildings. Staff were unhelpful, towards us and other guests - refusing […] to help with ticket sales, pretending not to speak any English even though we'd had conversations with them previously, looking down their noses at us and generally acting as though we were scum - I once waiting 7 minutes in an empty bar, before coming back out to reception and politely asking if he'd noticed me, to which I was barked "can't you just wait?", then being charged TEN Euros for a single vodka and coke, when restaurants nearby were 3/4 Euros. Drinks in the bar were triple the price of the surrounding restaurants (we ate in one on our street and 3 in adjacent streets). Room was clean and cleaned every day. The maids we came in contact with spoke no English but were very patient with our terrible Spanish and very polite. Smelt like burning every time we came back to the room (you have to put the key card in a slot to make the electrics work, so guessing it was something to do with that?) Beautiful hot tub under a little hut, with a shower, however it times out after 2 mins so not very relaxing. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review

Stayed here for 6 nights, and it had everything we needed, our room was right off the pool which was nice and very close and convient to Barcelona as a whole. The neighborhood is rather safe...I would go back.Genuine Expedia guest review
"small hotel in good location"
This is a small hotel in a good location, with a small pool which is a bonus when the weather is warm. The rooms are smart, clean and comfortable, although some of the furniture and bedlinen in our room showed signs of wear (scuffs and scratches, and a hole in the pillowcase) which detracted from the overall positive impression. Our only negative is […] that the check-in reception staff were quite unfriendly - we were not made to feel very welcome, and no information about internet, the pool, etc was offered.

After a hot sightseeing day it was a pleasant place to re-charge the batteries. The little pool and jacuzzi were an extra bonus. Our room had a terrace which was a pleasant place to sit and have a drink. The only problem we had was the drilling work which started at 8 in the morning at the building next door to our room. As we were out all day this […] didn't cause too much trouble to us. Didn't use bar or restaurant so can't comment on them. At 14 euros we thought breakfast too expensive so didn't bother.

Booked this hotel at the last minute during a beach holiday to stay overnight in barcelona after the barcelona FC vs Santos footy match. So glad we did. Hotel was lovely and clean, with the small pool a welcome cool down after exploring the city. The family room we had duplex style giving some separation as a family!

9 of us drove to eat at Korean BBQ, in Korea town, that took us about 10 min or so to arrive to. If your in such a large group I suggest breaking it up in two to be seated much faster, also read rules as restuarant we sat at charged for meat left over by the pound? We also ended choosing the 9.99 menue each and somehow ended up paying a $20 gratuity fee, that unless it was written in Korean we did not know about prior, nor told about.

Quotes & Highlights
See a video preview of the show on YouTube.
Comprised of a talented team of producers who fuse traditional Mexican music with contemporary electronica, the Nortec Collective is one of the hottest musical groups to come out of Mexico in recent years. Based primarily in Tijuana, Mexico, the Nortec Collective's headlining artists Bostich & Fussible build musical bridges where others build walls. An energetic blend of Norteño and techno, words from which they draw their name, the Nortec Collective's musical mastery is magical.
