(Rocky Widner/Getty Images)Tim Donaghy, who commissioner David Stern called a "rogue referee" in the 2007 betting scandal, reportedly wants a movie deal out of his tell-all book, Personal Foul, and is now suing his publisher for the estimated $200,000 in book sales he claims he never received, according to a report from Curtis Krueger of the Tampa Bay Times: "After chronicling his downfall in a book… Donaghy is now suing his Largo publisher. Donaghy's attorney Nicholas Mooney said publisher Shawna Vercher 'knew that she could exploit Mr. Donaghy because of his past issues.' But Khurrum Wahid, attorney for Vercher and her business, VTi Group, said profits were reduced because Donaghy asked for extras, such as asking the company to look into a movie deal, the possibility of selling the book in China, and help for a friend who wanted help setting up business."According to the report, Donaghy's plan was to use the earnings from his book to pay off $195,000 in restitution charges owed to the NBA. The trial, which began on June 12, opened with Donaghy's attorney saying the publisher "knew that she could exploit Mr. Donaghy because of his past issues," and that when the book began selling "like hotcakes" at the end of 2010, the publisher realized that she could "start living the high life because she found a cash cow."

This Should Be the Short That Gets Added to 'The ABCs of Death 2′
Features By FSR Staff on November 22, 2013 | Comments (2)By all accounts, the production behind The ABCs of Death 2 didn't have to reach out to aspiring filmmakers to fill their 26th slot. With names like Sion Sono, Alex de la Iglesia and Vincenzo Natali rounding out the roster for the alphabet-inspired horror anthology, they could have easily enticed another heavy into the mix. Instead, they did what they did with the first film and sought a new voice from their fan base. It worked well before. So well in fact that one of the non-winners from the first contest — Chris Nash — made such an impact that he secured a spot alongside more well-established filmmakers as one of the 25. Thus, the search for the 26th director was on. Since both Rob Hunter and Scott Beggs were foolish enough to watch all of the 500+ entries, and now that the 12 finalists have been announced, they wanted to rank the disgusting dozen with an eye toward choosing who they would pick as the overall winner (and thus, the short that will be tucked away in the middle of the movie). The real winner will be announced December 15 after a mad scientist finishes his gruesome experiments or they torture it out of Tim League or something, but for now here's two bloody cents (and 12 cool shorts to watch).

Local experts share their secrets for indoor holiday lighting
By Tiffany Esshaki
C & G Staff Writer
This mantle display at Sherwood Forest Garden Center demonstrates how lights can be combined with other decorations to create a warm and elegant atmosphere for the holidays.
Just like kids' wish lists for Santa, trends in holiday décor are ever-changing.
When it comes to lighting, there are more options than ever to choose from, whether it's strands on a tree or bulbs on the mantle. That's why there are plenty of places around metro Detroit where families can go to get advice on turning any home into a glowing winter wonderland.
For more than 55 years, Ralph Bellisario of Bellisario Florist in Eastpointe has been helping customers create the perfect holiday atmosphere with floral arrangements and other unique decorations. When it comes to creating memorable Christmas trees, he said great lighting is all about patience.
"Most of the trees nowadays are pre-lit. But if you have an old-fashioned tree, I start from the bottom up," he said about wrapping strands of holiday lights on a tree. "Branch by branch, I work from the outside of the branch to the inside."
He added that when he's lighting an artificial tree that's assembled one branch at a time, he prefers to light each row as he attaches it.
"I put one row in and light that one. I find that way easier, instead of putting the whole tree together at once."
The process of lighting Christmas trees and holiday wreaths isn't the only thing to take into consideration. According to Blair Gilbert, owner of Gilbert's Pro Hardware in St. Clair Shores, the style of lights being used is just as important.
Known to many as "Mr. Hardware," Gilbert says he stocks all kinds of holiday lights in his store, and each type has its own benefits.
"All the new stuff is LED lighting. It uses far less electricity than our conventional neon bulbs that were in our old Christmas lights," he said. "When you put a bunch of strands together in the old days, it was pretty easy to blow a circuit. Now that LEDs draw a fraction of the electricity of the old ones, they can put twice as many lights up and still draw less electricity."
Another advantage of the LED holiday lights, Gilbert said, is that the bulbs emit almost no heat, reducing the chance of the lights overheating and catching fire. He shares these tips and more on his website, www.mrhardware.com.
"The downside is they're more expensive, but they're coming down every year. They cost approximately double what the old-fashioned neon fixtures were. The electricity you save, the safety you're achieving — they're all good things, I say. For that, the price is minimal."
If you ask Carol Thomas, though, nothing compares to the soft glow of the traditional incandescent lights. As co-owner and designer at Sherwood Forest Garden Center in Rochester, Thomas knows a thing or two about how to create a memorable holiday interior. She claims to have seasonal décor down to a science.
"We do 1 1/2 times the height of the tree. So a 6-foot tree would have about 10 sets of lights on it," she said. "Most people are satisfied with that. They want to see their own decorations."
Thomas said she always recommends pre-lit trees and wreaths to her customers, which can range anywhere from a few hundred to as many as 1,600 lights.
"It's all wired," she said. "The other route takes us five to six hours. Then, we start at the top and work our way down."
But if a family has a certain look in mind for their seasonal design, custom lighting is a must. She has plenty of tips for those who want to show off their creative side.
"Clear lights have a more elegant look, and multi-colored lights work for any color scheme. The color pulls out the colors in the lights," she said, explaining that she used multi-colored lights on a teal-themed Christmas tree, and despite the mix of colored lights, only the complementary tones are noticeable.
If that's not enough, she said, customers can seek out specialty holiday lights, like those sold by Bethlehem Lighting. The lights, which are sold at Sherwood Forest, are the same bulbs used at Disney World and come in a variety of color schemes, from multi-colored and clear to unique combinations like Caribbean, which comes with just blue and green, or Renaissance, which comes with alternating red, orange and purple.
"They're good lights," said Thomas. "You pay a little more, but they last for years. It's worth it, in the long run."

Owners Spencer and Sabrina Aird parlay a passion for nourishing vegan fare into Grass Root Organic Restaurant, which CBS Tampa named one of the best veg restaurants in the city. Carmine walls envelop diners in the cozy café space, creating a soothing atmosphere punctuated with vivid abstract paintings hung along the wall. While settled into high-backed wooden chairs, each topped with a lattice design, diners dig into a menu that features cooked vegan dishes as well as raw dishes. Raw vegan pad thai, guacamole, and spinach and basil pesto, among others, star on the restaurant's roster.
The Airds also run a customizable meal delivery system that sends clients fresh meals from a rotating weekly menu several times a week. Sabrina teaches occasional classes on how to replicate her culinary expertise and mimic items on Grass Root's menu by sitting very still on an oversized plate.
Soothe your nerves and open your mind over a hot—or chilled—cup of fine tea with today's Groupon: $15 buys you $35 worth of loose-leaf tea at Kaleisia Tea Lounge, a favorite spot for young and old to chat, study, knit adorable baby Cthulhus, or relax amid the aroma of oolong and souchong.
Two majestic pillars stand guard at the entrance of GreekTown Grille, a large building painted in red with accents of soft blue and yellow, much like how ancient Greek temples are said to have been decorated. Inside, the Karamountzos family cooks a menu of Greek food that caught effusive praise in the Tampa Bay Times. Their signature octapodi skaras fans out grilled, seasoned tentacles on the plate under a drizzle of olive oil and lemon, prepping diners for grilled chicken wrapped with tzatziki in warm pita and dishes of arni youvetsi—slow-braised lamb shank in tomato sauce. Under the high ceilings of the dining room and out on the patio, the national color of Greece infuses blue mosaic work and comfortable booths serve as secret portals to Mount Olympus.
The chefs at Tasty Thai Cafe piece together a spread of classic Thai recipes with garlic, coriander, mint, lemongrass, and other quintessential spices. Pad Thai, lad nar, and other noodle dishes share menu space with sweet and sour chicken, basil fried rice, and specialty creations, such as the Two Friends Panang curry filled with chicken and shrimp tethered by mixed vegetables and lanyard bracelets. Thai iced tea and coffee, wines, and desserts, including mango sticky rice and fried bananas, help round out each meal.
Leafy Greens Cafe is proudly gluten-free, non-GMO, and 100% dedicated to the health of its diners. The menu is raw and vegan featuring delicious, yet healthful items such as "spaghetti" made from raw zucchini or large romaine leaves stuffed with guacamole and raw walnut taco "meat." Originally established five years ago, the restaurant recently relocated and expanded to a new location, enabling customers to access the cafe more easily and providing ample parking.
Heaping platters of steamed fish embellished with ginger and scallions, and piping vats of caramel shrimp and pork stew sit at the center of the table at Ánh Hồng Restaurant. Voted best of Yelp and a Zagat award winner, Ánh Hồng Restaurant serves up family-sized portions that encourage friends and relatives to indulge in not just traditional Vietnamese specialties, but also a shared dining experience. The family-style eatery caters to single and small group diners as well, whether they are vegetarians ready to dive into a pile of lemongrass tofu, or vigilant meat eaters enjoying pork fried rice or chicken pho, a popular Vietnamese soup. The menu also boasts plenty of options for dessert, including mango and strawberry smoothies and Vietnamese puddings made from fruit and fresh milk from the chef's pet cow's coconut.

"Beyond My Expectations!"
No, no, noooooo - How can it end there?! I must start the next book right away!!
A new to me author, and a new to me narrator too. First, the book - I really enjoyed this story and the characters. Well, except for the ones I wasn't supposed to like, they were pretty despicable! But, the protagonists, I wanted to get to know them better! Even the secondary characters grabbed my attention. Diana was an intriguing heroine. She is married to a worthless man who has brought them to the point of financial ruin. After 10 years of being beaten down by him and living in a loveless and childless marriage, she discovers something that shakes her to the core. This drives her to seek out the devil himself and perhaps even to find herself. Ludovic DeVere, otherwise known as The Devil DeVere, has a bit of a reputation, but I suspect there is a gentleman deep down inside. I really, really want to see them get their HEA!! Because I suspect they will be so very good together! They sure were hot together!! I liked the writing style too. The language felt more like books I have read actually written historically, like a Jane Austen. I liked that.
Now, the narrator Eva Hathaway - overall, I thought she had a very pleasing voice to listen to. Her accent was different from most of the English accented narrators I've heard, not better or worse but different. At the beginning of the audiobook, my impression was that she was not putting much emotion into the reading. The characters sounded the same when they were happy as when they were distressed. There also didn't seem to be much differentiation in the characters. After listening for a while, this seemed to improve. I never felt like the level of emotions in the narration quite matched the level in the story, but it wasn't a flat reading by any stretch. And after listening for a bit, I was able to distinguish the characters well too. I will definitely listen to more by her in the future!
"Before the Epilogue"
*3.5 Stars*
This was a novella set shortly after the end of The Devil's Match. I enjoyed it, but not as much as Diana and Ludovic's other books. In this story there is a misunderstanding that leads to doubts and fears on Diana's part. Her doubts and fears anger Ludovic, making him prove her trust. I think perhaps it was this that bothered me most in the story. When he should have been supporting her most, he was pushing her limits. But that could be the midwife in me, I am probably always going to side with the pregnant mom. It worked for them though and they were happy in the end. The audio of this book was quite good as well. And I have to say that this cover is just beautiful!
I would like to thank the author for providing me with a copy of this audiobook to review.
"Yay for Happy Endings!"
Loved getting to the HEA!
As much as I loved getting to the happy ending, I think I liked The Devil You Know just a little bit better. Perhaps it was the build up or the amount of interaction? I'm not sure. None the less, I quite enjoyed this book. Seeing Ludovic and Diana finally together and happy was very satisfying. The epilogue was the icing on the cake! I did want to smack Ludovic upside the head - more than once! He was beyond stubborn in some things! In the end, he came around so I am willing to forgive him. I wish we could have seen a bit more of Diana's internal thoughts that led to her actions. We got a glimpse, but I would have liked more. My biggest complaints - at times this sounded like an instruction manual and because I was listening to the audio and didn't have a print version to reference, I had a hard time keeping track of the timeline. I would like to see perhaps instead of the date alone perhaps a measure of time - a month, a year, etc. later. I think that would be helpful.
I listened to the audio of this book and enjoyed it. I wish the narrator, Eva Hathaway, put more emotion into her reading, but she has a nice voice to listen to. Her characterizations are not greatly distinguished, but are distinct enough that I wasn't confused.
I would like the thank the author for providing me with a copy of this audiobook to review.

I used to build and paint Navy ship models. Currently I'm building the USS Missouri... I have the USS Eisenhower and the USS Arizona after I'm done with the "Mighty Mo". Doing these models are a little harder then I remembered. Does anyone here build them, and if they do, do you have any pointers on how to paint them and build them?
First I primed everything with a basic Navy Grey coat. After I did that, I attempted to paint the pieces before I broke them off the molds. The glue just ruined the paint when I put the part on. Model glue is a mess When that failed I tried gluing on the pieces un-painted... but when I do that, it's a pain to paint when it's all assembled
I really am at a loss here. Any tricks or ideas to help me out here? Any help would be appreciated!

Well, I was going to wait until I actually had the stripped receiver to start this thread, but I'm having a hard time finding one for the price I was wanting it to be at, so I'll just go ahead and announce my first build. Here's the basic plan for the build. BCM BFH 16" mid length upper receiver group. BCM bolt carrier group (auto) BCM Milspec height carry handle sight. BCM Gunfighter charging handle (large latch) Magpul MOE stock, hand guard, and pistol grip. (dark earth) Spike's Tactical, stripped lower RRA Single stage trigger and lower parts kit Magpul PMAG 30 rd magazine Thanks to a very good friend, I already have some of this (the hand guard and the parts kit), and I'm slowly working on the rest. I just ordered a couple magazines, so the next thing I get will be the stripped lower. Does anyone know where I could find a spikes stripped lower? ALL of the places that had them for about $80-$100 are completely out, and most of them do not know when they'll get more. All I can find them for is $120 plus shipping. I don't mind paying that for one, but I'd still like to get it as cheap as I can. Also, if anyone is looking for a great deal on magazines right now, check out Botach Tactical. They have Magpul Pmags for $14.98 with no tax and FREE shipping. If you use the coupon code slickmag, you will also get an extra 20% off.

Standard PSA lower is $79.95 plus shipping & FFL fee. They are really good lowers, I bought a pair when they were on sale for $49.95 last year. I understand the fascination with roll marks though.
I was at spikes in apopka on Tuesday. They had 10 stripped lowers on the shelf for $100. Might already be sold out but you should try calling them.
Laws that forbid the carrying of arms... disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes... Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man. -Thomas Jefferson's "Commonplace Book"
WTH? I was looking on PSA's site, and it says you have to be 21 to buy a stripped lower? It said I can buy a rifle, but not a stripped lower. quick question, is that just their policy, or an actual law? I can legally buy a rifle from anywhere, and I think I could go out an buy a stripped lower right now if there were any locally.
Damn it, apparently, since an AR lower can either be made into rifle or a pistol, they decided to just call it a pistol and set the age at 21 The same argument could easily be made for any other receiver. I'm pretty sure you could take a Remington Model 700 receiver, put a 10" barrel on it, and have a special stock made for it so that it somewhat resembles a T/C Encore pistol. Well, that just made it more difficult to get one legally.
Hit a gun show. Maybe a vendor there won't consider it a pistol.
I've bought five stripped lowers and the designation on the form each time was other, not pistol or rifle.

This is like a little miracle for me. After using it for only a few days, it makes my facial skin so soft (I am using the night version).
Even though I washed it off in the morning, my skin keeps soft and tight in the morning. I really like this cream and I saw some improvement in pitted wrinkles lines. It is very difficult to descibe but it does what it says and I like it a lot.

George's Inc., based in Springdale, is recalling about 29,200 pounds of seasoned raw, chicken breast strips due to misbranding and an undeclared allergen.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service said Friday the recall involves George's Inc. of Springdale.
The products are formulated with soy protein, a known allergen, and monosodium glutamate. But they were released with a label for George's boneless skinless breast pieces with rib meat, which does not declare soy or MSG on the label.
The products were produced and packaged from Dec. 21 through Dec. 23 and were sold to distributors in Tennessee and Iowa for further distribution. The recalled products bear the establishment number "P-13584" below the USDA Mark of Inspection and "Packed on" date in the format of "month-day-year" on the carton label.

Where's summer gone? What's happened to the hazy lazy warm days when we slap on our sunscreen, dress in flimsy apparel designed to keep as cool as possible, enjoy a surreptitious whippy ice cream and think wistfully of weekend barbeques and long summer evening walks in the meadows…… Summer didn't last very long at all… too short and over too soon. July's thunderstorms are past although the memory of a bolt of lightening joining with a sharp crack of thunder just beside me as I walked to my house is etched into my memory. Little Meg, the Dandy Dinmont who was faithfully trotting alongside me at the time, moved with a hitherto unknown speed, dashing into the open door of the kitchen, where she lay, panting, her little heart fluttering wildly and her already big eyes huge looking bewildered. Her response showed me that I was not exaggerating my horror at almost being hit directly with a lightening bolt! Considering a single lightening bolt can contain up to 1,000 + volts of electricity with the accompanying hot air discharging as thunder: if this happens in close proximity as I experienced, the flash is infinately powerful and the clap of thunder, deafening! ….A close escape for both me and Maggie especially since we were outside in the open near the neighbour's tree: perfectly placed as conductors of electricity.
August too has come and gone: those of us with the belief (and the stomach!) cheerfully consumed oysters on the 5th of the month, knowing that our finances would be healthy for the next year. The 'Glorious Twelfth' saw the start of the hunting season when grouse need to be canny and careful to survive the hunter's bullet. Sad the heart that hears the crack of the shotgun on shooting days, hoping that each volley finds its mark causing the least amount of suffering to the innocent bird. Farmers are as always, busy working on their land, harvesting precious crops until late in the evening. From early morning till long after dusk, the familiar rumble of tractors can be heard on country roads returning home having cut the corn all day long; perhaps looking forward to a hearty harvest supper of home made game pie, lashings of vegetables, all rounded off with warm freshly made crusty bread and pickles from the previous harvest! In truth, not to burst romantic bubbles, farmers wives are all too often an essential part of the harvesting and can often be seen driving tractors alongside their spouses, so the idea of the comely farmer's wife dutifully serving a home made supper in her Cath Kitson apron is probably a myth nowadays. Still, such a meal could constitute a wonderful Sunday lunch with friends and family.
Lastly, our little feathered friends have too soon flown off to sunnier climates, leaving us bereft of their delightful company. Swallows, swifts house martins are perhaps most identifiable as they collect in flocks, sitting on overhead wires, twittering softly until, drawn by some unidentifiable instinctual signal they leave, taking to the sky to begin their amazing journeys which will end as far away as Africa and Morocco.
The Autumn Equinox around September 22nd marks the time when the sun is above the horizon for 12hrs and throughout the world the day and night are similar in length which is a remarkable feat. Enjoy !

About Leepenley's Garage
About me and my passion for cars
I am not a big car nut. However every since I was young and watched Smokey and the Bandit, I fell in Love with that black and gold Trans Am. I had one when I was a young man but due to financial situations at that time I had to sell it for just what I owed. I really lost my butt on that deal. I swore that one day I would have another one. 26 years later I found one sitting in my neighbors driveway wasting away. He had good intentions on fixing it up but now that he was retired Golfing got in his way. He had purchased it brand new out of the showroom in Winston-Salem, NC in 1978. He and his wife also loved the Bandit movie. Well as luck would have it he sold it to me in June of 2005 and said good luck to me. 9 months later (just like a full term pregnancy) a new car was born from that old 78 trans am. I kept it all original, all numbers matching. The body did not have any repair needs. The only rust was some surface rust. We took that car completely apart, had the engine completely rebuilt, sandblasted the entire car, painted everything to factory specs,and put all back together again just like from the factory. It has the original Pontiac 400 CID engine, original 4 speed super T10 transmission, and everything works in it great. It registers 112,000 miles right now. I did put the original snowflake rims on it and added the gold bird wheel caps to it. I even have the original T-Top covers in mint condition. The trunk has the original hounds tooth cloth floor covering in it. I did have to wash it though. The original small space saving spare tire with all the hold down parts is still in the trunk where it belongs and has never been used. I am very proud of this car. I even installed a bearcat CB in the lower space below the original am/fm 8 track radio just like in the movie. I am the Bandit & my wife is Frog, and my Dog is Fred. We are reliving a piece of our past & history. Looking forward to the future with this wonderful car. This car is all original, all numbers matching, no body work, laser straight lines.

"Our goal was to explore the validity of this voluntary error-reporting system and whether front-line error-reporters were capturing the essence of the actual errors that occurred," says author Marlene Miller, M.D., M.Sc., director of quality and safety initiatives for the Children's Center. "There were some incorrect reports, but the overall trends were accurate, which allows us to say that this reporting system is a reliable index of problematic areas." The findings are reported in the June issue of Quality & Safety in Healthcare.
Miller emphasizes that error data are valuable only if consistently monitored for patterns and used to create safety checks that prevent common errors from happening again.
"Error reporting is only as good as the actual changes that are made as a result of it," says co-author Christoph Lehmann, M.D., director of clinical information technology at the Children's Center. "Identifying and fixing potential medical errors is at the core of the Children's Center patient safety program. Monitoring voluntary error reports has led to the creation of several programs that reduce and prevent medication errors."
Among these:
Since 2004, Johns Hopkins has implemented a hospital-wide computer reporting system that captures a variety of medication errors, the vast majority of which do not harm a patient but may have the potential to do so if systems are not corrected.
In the study, researchers found that errors occurred in every step of the medication process - from prescribing, to ordering to administering to the patient - and no one area is immune to errors. Physicians, nurses and pharmacists caring for children were equally prone to mistakes, researchers say.
"One of the more interesting findings was that drug-administering errors, such as giving the patient the wrong drug or the wrong dose or at the wrong time, were quite common," Lehmann says. "We had focused in the past on ordering errors. This finding made us look for possible interventions on the administration side."
Researchers reviewed data collected over 19 months via a voluntary error-reporting system that was in use at the Children's Center from 2001 to 2004. They analyzed all 1,010 medication errors entered into the system between July 2001 and January 2003. Those who filed reports were asked to fill out an online form consisting of multiple choices and then submit a free-text description of the event. To determine the accuracy of the reports, researchers compared the multiple-choice form to the free-text description of the event, finding that the number of actual errors was 899, meaning that a slight over-reporting occurred. This was because certain errors were classified into more than one category. However, the overall distribution of errors by type was accurate.
Of the 1,010 originally reported errors, 173 (17 percent) were near-miss errors, which researchers describe as an error that didn't harm the patient but would likely cause serious harm if it occurred again. A typical near-miss scenario would involve a physician prescribing the wrong dose, followed by a pharmacist dispensing the wrong dose, but a nurse catching the error before giving the wrong dose to the patient.
Of the 1,010, 38 percent (379 errors) did not reach the patient, half (511) reached the patient but no treatment or increased monitoring was required, 10 percent (103) reached the patient and required increased monitoring, 2 percent (17) reached the patient and required additional treatment or prolonged hospital stay. None was fatal or caused serious harm.
Nearly one-third were prescribing errors, one-quarter were dispensing errors, 38 percent were administering errors, and 8 percent were documentation errors. Half of all errors occurred in children under 6.
Most errors occurred with anti-infective medications, such as antibiotics or antivirals (17 percent), followed by pain relievers and sedatives (15 percent), antihistamines for allergies (15 percent), nutritional supplements and vitamins (11 percent), gastrointestinal medications (8 percent), cardiovascular medications (7 percent) and hormonal medications (6 percent). Authors on the paper are Miller, Lehmann and John Clark, Pharm. D., of the Department of Pediatric Pharmacy.
Founded in 1912 as the children's hospital of the Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions, the Johns Hopkins Children's Center offers one of the most comprehensive pediatric medical programs in the country, from performing emergency trauma surgery, to finding causes and treatments for childhood cancers, to delivering a child's good bill of health. The Johns Hopkins Children Center's Pediatric Trauma Service is Maryland's only state-designated trauma center for children. With recognized Centers of Excellence in 20 pediatric subspecialties including cardiology, transplant, psychiatric illnesses and genetic disorders, Children's Center physicians, nurses and staff provide compassionate care to more than 90,000 children each year.

At this level you would be slitting hairs to make your selection based upon which company has the better finish or construction. Assuming your are not doing the install yourself, focus more on the dealer and designer providing the cabinetry. Choose the one you feel will give you the best customer service throughout the job and beyond. Make sure they are licensed, insured and check the level of experience. Either of these brands will serve you well. |

US 7211113 B2 Abstract An endoprosthesis utilizes a biomechanical structure based on the lever model of first degree. Contrary to the widespread practice, the inventive structure has a stem placed inside the femur bone, which is not rigidly attached to this bone. Accordingly, the bone, following its known tendency to slightly pivot away from the medial plane of the body in response to the loads, does not directly contact the stem. The neck portion experiences even greater loads then the stem. The supporting anchor has a region extending laterally from the stem and pressing against a supporting surface of the housing, which also extends laterally from the body of the housing. Since the stem, supporting anchor and neck are typically constitute a one-piece component, the lateral surfaces of the supporting anchor and housing are in continuous frictional contact during displacement of the stem and housing relative to one another.
Claims(17) 1. An endoprosthesis for replacing a hip joint, comprising:
a stem adapted for insertion into a femur medullar cavity,
a neck extending from the stem and terminating with a head of the endoprosthesis;
said head inserted into an endoprosthesis cup;
said cup adapted for fixation in an acetabulum;
a housing adapted to be received within a bone and configured to surround the stem, so that the housing and the stem are spaced apart to permit rotation of the housing together with the femur around the stem;
a flange extending laterally from one side of the housing,
a heel extending laterally from one side of the neck, wherein
the housing has a longitudinal body and the flange adapted to sit atop the bone to support the heel of the neck portion thereby minimizing loads upon the stem.

Description Replacement devices such as artificial joints in general and especially those for the hip have been known for many years. Such replacement devices include substitute members for the two parts of the natural joint, namely the femoral head, which is joined to the femur, and the hip socket, which receives and cooperates with the head to provide a natural universal joint. Replacement of the natural hip joint parts is necessary when deterioration has occurred to one or both of the natural femoral head and socket. Ideally, the replacement members should reproduce the structure and function of the original members. For example, it is important that the femoral head be securely attached to the femur, that the head be received within the socket and that the resulting joint be produced with the desirable degree of resilience or cushioning. All known prior art, for example U.S. Pat. No. 4,770,661 and U.S. Pat. No. 4,159,544 disclose a system associated with resorption of bone tissue, protrusion of the bottom of acetabulum, and loosening of the stem due to a relatively high pressure upon the bone. Furthermore, localized pressure generated by the prosthesis parts causes greater than naturally occurring displacement of the stem from its initial position. Particularly, in the upper part, the stem tends to move medially, while in the lower part, it moves outwardly laterally. Currently used endoprosthesis models typically take into consideration the biomechanics of the femur, which is rather similar to a console. This view is applied both to normal hip joints and total joint replacements and is usually realized by a system configured to rigidly fix the stem of endoprosthesis to the surrounding bone. Typically, to further this goal, the stem may have various geometrical forms for compressive fixation; alternatively or in addition to the specifically designed forms, it is not uncommon to cement the stem to the bone. The clinical practice and numerous data show that this approach may not fully take into consideration the following:
Thus, a primary object of the present invention is to improve the stability of hip joint endoprosthesis. A further object of the present invention is to substantially reduce and eventually to completely eliminate complications associated with at least some of the currently used endoprosthesis models. Still a further object is to provide the recipients of the inventive hip joint endoprosthesis with a fully functional life.
As a consequence, while in the known prior art structures, such a direct contact would rather rapidly wear out the bond between the housing and stem, the inventive structure avoids such a drawback exhibiting a long functional life. Yet the ability of the inventive structure to withstand numerous loads is not compromised due an elongated outer housing extending beyond the distal (lower) end of the stem and reliably coupled to the bone. Such a coupling is ensured by a plurality of holes formed in the outer housing and allowing bone tissue to penetrate through the holes and bond with the outer housing. Furthermore, the holes provide for the circulation of the tissue fluid indispensable for maintaining the ingrown tissue. In accordance with a further aspect of the invention, the endoprosthesis includes a sleeve made from porous material and located between the stem and outer housing. Accordingly, the sleeve reduces the friction during rotation of the stem and outer housing relative to one another, which in turn minimizes formation of granules typically originated during such a friction and known to weaken the bone. Material of the sleeve also plays an important role in maintaining the circulation of the tissue fluids within the inventive prosthesis. Still another aspect of the invention is directed to further minimizing frictional forces between the neck portion of the stem, which extends angularly from the stem towards the bone's head, and the housing. Formed with a supporting anchor and a neck inserted into the head of femur, the neck portion experiences even greater loads then the stem. In particular, the supporting anchor has a region extending laterally from the stem and pressing against a supporting surface of the housing, which also extends laterally from the body of the housing. Since the stem, supporting anchor and neck typically constitute a one-piece component, the lateral surfaces of the supporting anchor and housing are in continuous frictional contact during the movement of the stem and housing relative to one another. To minimize deterioration of these surfaces, the inventive structure includes at least one plate inserted into one of the lateral surfaces of the supporting anchor and housing. Said at least one plate made of material with a low friction coefficient. The above and other objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become more clearly understood from the following description referring to the accompanying drawings. Referring to As follows from the clinical practice, loading of the prosthesis cup leads to the greatest bone resorption of the femur diaphysis in its upper medial part 34, as this is where the most of the body weight load is applied. The prosthesis stem 13 and particularly its distal end 37, are pushed laterally away form the median plane 39 ( If the prosthesis were constructed in accordance with the convenient practice as a console model, displacement of the bone 35 would gradually destroy cement typically bonding the stem and bone 35. In contrast, the inventive prosthesis 100 is configured as a lever of the first kind with an axis 2 of the lever characterized by a substantial degree of freedom between the stem 13 and the bone 35. As a result, the bone 35 is free to follow its natural pattern of rotation, and the bond between a housing 14 of the prosthesis 100 and the bone 35 is not affected. The pressure by the prosthesis stem 13 on the lateral side of the femur diaphysis channel is increased by the physiological abduction of the femur bone (incline to the medial), equal 8 degrees relative to the vertical body axis. Placement of the endoprothesis 100 into the bone 35 is realized by severing its neck along a plane extending substantially perpendicular to the medial plane MP. Of course, small deviations from the perfectly perpendicular plane ranging within a few degrees would not drastically reduce the effectiveness of the prosthesis. To completely remove the damaged hip joint, the cup of the bone is removed from the bone's head. As a result, upon milling the channel 36 for the stem 13 ( Rigidly coupling the cup 7 to the bone 35's head while coupling the housing 14 to the bone 35 completes the replacement procedure. Coupling the housing 14 to the bone 35 is realized by the inventive configuration of the housing 14 provided with a plurality of holes 15, 151 ( A flange 21 of the housing 14 ( The diameter of the stem 13 is dimensioned somewhat smaller than the inner surface of the housing 14 to prevent direct contact between these components of the prosthesis 100. When the cup 7 is rigidly coupled to the bone 35's head, displacement of the stem 13 does not directly affect displacement of the housing 14 pivoting along with the bone 35. Accordingly, these components pivot independently from one another in a rather natural manner. To reinforce the stem/housing combination, the prosthesis 100 further includes a sleeve 16 ( The proximal end of the sleeve 16 is provided with a collar 17 abutting a lower portion of the stem 13 near a heel 22 to ensure proper positioning of the sleeve within the housing 14. The collar 17 made from Teflon� (polytetrafluoroethylene) and the sleeve 16 is made of Teflon fabric, for example from medical felt from ftoroplast 4″ (produced with this name in Russia) and having porous structure. The sleeve 16 is not affected by the ingrown tissue and is resistant to tissue fluid that is normally is secreted. Most importantly, the sleeve 16, having a thickness of about 1�1.5 mm, has a low friction coefficient and does not greatly inhibit the movement of the housing 14. The neck portion 12 of the prosthesis 100 ( As a consequence, unless dealt with, the contact region between the flange 21 and the heel 22 of the lower portion 20 have the opposing surfaces of the flange 21 and heel 22 extended substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal body of the housing 14 may inhibit the independent rotation of the stem 13 and the housing 14 relative to one another. To minimize this unavoidable friction, at least one of the juxtaposed surfaces of these components has spaced recesses 23 ( The endoprosthesis cup 7 ( The stem 13 and the neck portion 12 define a one-piece component made preferably from Titanium or Titanium alloys. Advantageously, the housing 14 is manufactured from biologically friendly material including, but not limited to, various metals as stainless steel, Tantalum. The endoprosthesis stem 13 is subjected to the lesser load from the medial then from the lateral side. This created an opportunity of making a trough 18 ( The surgery directed to the installlation of the endoprosthesis 100 is performed regularly. After accessing the hip joint, transverse osteotomy of the neck 12 and the head 11, of the femur is performed, moving to the base of the greater trochanter, but not including the great trochanter itself. The acetabulum and the femoral channel are milled, the prosthesis cup is inserted into the acetabulum, pressing the crown 8 of the cup tightly and fixing it with surgical screws through the blades 10 to fix the cup 7 tightly and support it by the outside edges of the acetabulum. The metal housing 14 is inserted into the femoral channel. The stem 13, wrapped into the teflon sleeve 16 is inserted into the casing 14 in such a way that the anchor support 20 of the neck 12 rests on the polished surface 25 of the casing rim 14. Manipulating the patient's extremity, the head of the prosthesis is inserted into the cup 7. This ends the technical part of the hip replacement procedure. Hemostasis is performed, the drainage is created, and muscles are reattached (depending on the technique), wound closure is performed. This ends total hip replacement procedure.

Serves 2
- 1/2 teaspoon unflavored gelatin
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk (not evaporated)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons instant espresso powder
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/2 cup well-chilled heavy cream
In a small saucepan sprinkle the gelatin over the water and let it soften for 2 minutes. Add the milk and the espresso powder and heat the mixture over moderate heat, whisking constantly, until the powder is dissolved. Remove the pan from the heat, stir in the vanilla, and set the pan in a bowl of ice and cold water, stirring the mixture every few minutes until it is thick and cold. In a small bowl beat the cream until it just holds stiff peaks and fold the coffee mixture into it gently but thoroughly. Spoon the mousse into 2 chilled long-stemmed glasses and chill it until ready to serve.

PROBLEM: You launch your Autodesk product and receive a the FlexLM License Finder box and after specifying the License Server System, you are presented with the following error:
The network license manager was not able to get a valid license. If this problem continues, please contact your system administrator. Error [1.5.-15]
CAUSE: Your Autodesk Network License Manager is installed on a Windows Server 2008 or Windows Vista/7 machine and/or your NLM and Autodesk product exist on the same workstation with IPv6 enabled.
RESOLUTION: If your NLM and your Autodesk product are installed on the same workstation, verify that the connection made to the NLM is not via IPv6. If so, disable IPv6 or redirect the protocol to use IPv4 instead.
Method #1: Verify connectivity with your NLM server by opening a command prompt (Start > Run > CMD) and PING your server hostname:
A typical IPv6 response for localhost loopback when the NLM is on the same machine may be ::1 or it may be a full IPv6 address such as 3ffe:1900:4545:3:200:f8ff:fe21:67cf. Your results may look different. If the response is an IPv6 as in the picture above, then you need to disable IPv6 on your Network LAN settings and verify PING again to ensure it has an IPv4 address in the format of xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx. For more configuration changes, continue on to Method #2.
For more information on how to disable IPv6 in Microsoft Windows Vista and 7, please see the following Microsoft KB support article:
Method #2: If you are unable to disable IPv6 or have a need for IPv6 on your network, then you can make a change to your system HOSTS file to redirect the protocol to use an IPv4 address instead.
Verify that connectivity to the NLM server is using IPv6 as described in Method #1. If your response in an IPv6, then you need to edit your HOSTS file to point the server hostname to an IPv4 address instead. You will need Administrative rights for this process.
First ensure that the User Account Control (UAC) in Windows is disabled. Open the Control Panel and choose System and Security:
Then choose Change User Account Control settings:
Finally, disable the UAC option by setting it to Never notify:
Now you should be able to open and edit the Windows HOSTS file to make the necessary changes. Find the file in the following location:
Open the hosts file with Notepad.exe. You should have Administrator privileges when performing this task. If the file is Read-only, you may need to make the file writable from within the file properties dialog box.
Your HOSTS file should appear similar to the image below.
If your NLM and Autodesk product are on the same machine:
First, comment out the IPv6 localhost address of ::1 by adding a # sign. Then add your hostname behind the IPv4 localhost 127.0.0.1 address as shown. Save the file and close Notepad.
If your NLM is on a different server than your client installed software:
Create a new entry for your NLM server with the correct IPv4 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx formatted address followed by your server hostname and save the file then close Notepad.
Verify IPv4 connectivity by opening the Command prompt and PING the server hostname. It should now read the appropriate IPv4 response. If your NLM is local, it should read 127.0.0.1. If the NLM is on a server, it should read the IP address of your server.
Launch your Autodesk product. It should now launch and obtain a license as appropriate.
For more information about Autodesk compatibility with IPv6, please see the following Autodesk Support KB article here:

No, that won't cause a problem. What issue are you having?
On a side note, I have found that many times adskflex 11.9 from the 2012 media does not work well with Server 2008 R2. Using a different version helps. You can try the 2013 version of 11.10:
Check to make sure that adskflex.exe is running in the processes tab once you have started the NLM. You can also check for port connectivity with Internet Explorer (no 3rd party browsers) by going to the following links:
Simply replace servername with the hostname of the NLM server you are trying to connect to. You should get a response on each of them that looks like this:
If you get a 'Page cannot be displayed' error, then you might have a firewall issue.
Let me know what remaining issue you have.
Solved! by TravisNave. See the answer in context.
Autodesk has now made my post an official Knowledge Base article. You can read the 'official' support article here:
Solved! by TravisNave. See the answer in context.
Because it sometimes works and is not in your office, it is almost certainly a latency issue.
Try the FLEXLM_TIMEOUT system environment variable and start with one-million and move up a million if needed.
Good Luck!

Here is the solution to the Autodesk Vault 2015 LicensingError [319] (20) I was having. None of the solutions in this thread helped me in this case unfortunately. So I thought I would share my post here in case anyone else upgrading to Vault Workgroup or Professional 2015 suddenly finds their license server isn't dishing out the goods anymore.

I appreciate your help but even after following your instructions, my issue persisted. I am going to start from scratch in the hopes that I just goofed somewhere on the install. I'm sure the problem was in my set up and not your help. I will comment back later if I get up and running or if the issue continues for some reason.
Thanks again.
Travis, thanks for this solution, it worked perfectly for me

Dear Travis,
I am also facing the same prob. I did edited the host file on server as you showed in this post. And it did worked for only server not the client PC's. Previously revit was not working on server also.
Do i have to edit the host file on client Pc also. Please see attached screenshot of my edited server file. Please explain how to make run revit on client PC's it still gives the same error [-15.570.0].
Thanks a lot Mr. Travis. It worked for me i edited the host file's from both server & client PC's. Can you please elaborate on the license box, from where i will get this box also whicch IP address (server's or Client's) i have to add and where. Thanks again for your support.
Best Regards,
Mohan Suryawanshi-AE
If the client can't find the NLM, it should prompt the license finder box similar to the graphic listed at the top of this thread. Glad you are up and running.
Took a while to get my head wrapped around the entire idea, but in the end it worked perfecty and now program is running.
Thanks alot.

Review: PitchPerfect Musical Instrument Tuner lets you easily tune different string instruments
Get the right pitch on your guitar using this straightforward method for tuning your instruments.
PitchPerfect Musical Instrument Tuner for Mac offers precise tuning for ten different string instruments via a clean and easy-to-learn interface. The app uses any available audio input device, even a built-in microphone, to listen to your instrument, and provides a catalog of the different tuning options available. Whether you're an amateur or professional musician, this app can be useful.
Unlike many specialized apps, PitchPerfect Musical Instrument Tuner for Mac provides you with an uncluttered interface. A scrubber detects your current pitch and places the target pitch, updating itself in real time as you tune the instrument. You will also notice a list of currently used strings and their respective notes. The app supports ten instruments, including a couple of guitars, a violin, viola, and even a cello. The tuning process, itself, is straightforward for all of them -- you have to match the target pitch with the actual pitch displayed on the screen. While the app does do its job, during testing we had to dampen the other strings in order to get better results. Also, sometimes when playing a string for a longer period of time, the app started detecting it as another note due to the change in frequency.
If you're looking for an unconventional yet precise way to tune your guitar, look no further than PitchPerfect Musical Instrument Tuner for Mac. It has decent support for different instruments and is compatible with multiple input devices. Remember, though, that it's not a professional solution, so don't expect it to be flawless.

If the summer heat's got you going commando this season, don't leave your lonely lacies in a drawer. Send them to a Burmese embassy instead.
The campaign was started last year by women's organization Lanna Action for Burma as a bid to end the rape, sexual violence and other abuse used to enforce the regime's rule. It plays off the government leaders' superstition that contact with a woman's underpants robs them of their power.
And even if piles of panties don't pose a supernatural threat, they're kind of hard to ignore and sure to get a message across.
So strip off those underpants and head to a post office. You'll feel a little bit naughty but oh so good at the same time.
xoxo,Intern Lysa

Topics include income, sales and excise taxes, economic development, targeted tax incentives, government pension and health costs, and other influences on taxes and spending.
We favor policies that reduce the size and power of government and expand choice and freedom for citizens. We oppose government programs and tax regimes that favor some at the expense of others.

Emerald Nuzlocke Challenge
So, I got an urge to start a nuzlocke run after reading about everyones nuzlocke runs. My white was too new, I hadn't played much HG and diamond, and Sapphire/ruby was too boring. Therefore I made an emerald nuzlocke run.
*Any Pokémon that faints is considered dead, and must be boxed forever.
*The player may only catch the first Pokémon encountered in each area, and none else. If *the first Pokémon encountered faints or flees, there are no second chances.
*No in battle items(except pokéballs) or hold items will be used except berries.
*Items may be used outside of battles.
*All pokémon must be nicknamed.
*Challenge is over after beating the E4 and Wallace.
those rules is what I think is fitting for a nuzlocke run.
Let's do this!
After listening to Prof. Birchs long speech I started out as a male named Brendan(lack of fantasy, and I didn't want my usual in game name this time) and got shrinked to pixel size. Got out of the truck and went inside to see the Vigoroths move around stuff(thank god the machokes was only in R/S, I get nightmares when I think of the beginning of pokemon-X)and got up to my room. Took out a potion, played some gamecube,set the clock and got downstairs again. Missed dad on the TV as usual, and went to May's house. Christ, I remember when I couldn't speak english(non-native language) and couldn't get outta town:P I got an verbal maelstorm from her mum, and then went up to do a failured attempt to snatch the pokéball. She came in, made another verbal punishment on me and says she gotta help her dad and starts playing computergames. God what a helpful child.
As I exited the house, I went straight north and into the forest, where Prof.Birch was running from a pokémon. Brave man. I go to his bag and steals a Mudkip. Generally a Kickass mon and good against many gyms. Plus, he got a cute face and a webwide phrase of pure awesomeness. 1 miss and four tackles later the zigzagoon is dead and mudkip is left with 15hp. Back in the lab, I named him Oscar and heads north again.
As I enter Route 101 I head directly to the left and encounters a lvl3 female Wurmple. Remembering I don't got any balls yet(pun not intended) I proceed to kill it with 3 tackles.
After that, I check Oscars IV's with psypokes calculator and here is the result: 20-31HP 0-19ATK, DEF and SP.ATK, 0-31 SP.DEF and 20-31 SPD with a lax nature.
Proceeded towards Oldale Town while grinding along the way. Reached Oldale Town once I had only 5hp left on Oscar and went to the Poké Center.
When I had healed, I went to get my free potion from the martlady and proceeded north.
Ran into a Poochyena and then owned May and her Treecko so hard that they gonna have nightmares of a mudkip raping them for the rest of their lives. Then followed May as she ran home crying.
Back at the lab, I got a pokédex because Birch was happy after I raped his daughter. Strange family. I also got some balls, so now I can really rape stuff(pun intended). Went out and got me some running shoes from mum and headed into route 101 again.
I have decided I get to catch mons on route 101 and 103, because I wasn't allowed to have balls back then. So I caught a Lv3 male Wurmple, which I named Lympoon, on route 101 and proceeded to train it. At lv7, it evolved into Cascoon. I don't really know what to think about that, but it's final evo is more defensive than the other, and it got some nice moves that Beautifly doesn't get but it got no STAB on any of it's good moves. After some more training(no more levels though) I went to route 103.
I got unlucky, no wingull for me. Instead a lvl 3 Zigzagoon. It held an Oran Berry which it unfortunately used in the battle. Lympoon almost died, so I sent out Oscar and got a ******* CRIT!!!! so, I'm stuck with Oscar and Lympoon for a while. With the biggest Rageface ever, I made my short way into Oldale and healed up.
After, I finally went into Route 102. Thinking that you can't catch seedot/lotad in the grass with trainers, I go north to the pool and starts looking for a pokémon.
A zigzagoon again, same level. This time however, I'm not crithaxxed and proceeds to catch it without problems. Named the little guy Ziggy, and went back to the center. I don't think I'll train Ziggy unless really needed. I proceed forward again, challenged the first youngster and his lv5 Poochyena. It was quite scary when he got 4 howls in, and almost KO'ed Lympoon. Then swept the bug catcher easily. Continued towards the second youngster and picked up the berries before I challenged him. won easily, and went west. challenged the lass, won and got the potion. finally in petalburg!
Healed up, and went straight to the gym. Another massive maelstorm of words later, I just follow Wally as he catches himself a Ralts(Geez, why do we have to follow?). Also got an repel from Ziggy's Pickup.

6 Duke Blue Devils (20-4)
@18 North Carolina Tar Heels (13-11)
Wednesday, February 10
Dean E. Smith Center
Attendance: 21,750
6 Duke
18 North Carolina
Chapel Hill, NC (Sports Network) - Jon Scheyer ended with 24 points, five rebounds and four assists and sparked a late Duke run, as the eighth-ranked Blue Devils took this year's first edition of the Battle of Tobacco Road, 64-54, over the down-and-out North Carolina Tar Heels.
Kyle Singler recorded 19 points and nine rebounds for Duke (20-4, 8-2 ACC), which connected on half of its 18 attempts from three-point range to come out victorious for the third straight game.
"We shot 50 percent from three and about 20 percent from two," said Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski. "A lot of that has to do with the fact that when you have it close it's tough to score against them. I thought they played really hard and well and it was a heck of a game. So we'd be proud to win and thankful we came out on top."
The Tar Heels (13-11, 2-7) were led by Will Graves's 13 points and eight rebounds, but it wasn't enough to bring the defending national champions out of their tailspin.
UNC, which had won seven of the previous nine showdowns with the Blue Devils, has now dropped seven of its last eight overall and four consecutive tilts at the Dean Dome.
After UNC's Ed Davis missed the front end of a 1-and-1 with 7:29 left in regulation, Mason Plumlee grabbed a Singler miss and threw down a reverse dunk to break a 45-45 tie with under seven minutes to play. Graves answered Scheyer's runner with a three-pointer for a one-point game, but Duke scored 12 of the next 14 points to take control.
Scheyer hit a three from the top of the key, and Nolan Smith converted a layup in transition to put Duke on top, 54-48 with 4 1/2 minutes showing.
Still up six, 56-50, Scheyer came off a screen and drained another from behind the arc with 2:32 to play, essentially sealing Duke's win over its arch-rival.
"Scheyer made some tough, big shots," said Graves. "Every time, they had an answer for everything we did and even when we weren't doing something they still had an answer. They made plays and we didn't. I can't put another formula together."
Singler drained a pair from behind the arc in the opening 3 1/2 minutes to put the visitors on top, 9-4.
North Carolina clamped down defensively and erased a 20-15 deficit on two Deon Thompson free throws and a Graves three-pointer with under nine minutes to go before the break.
Duke made just 22.5 percent from the field in the first half but still led 28-27 at halftime thanks to its hustle on the glass, as the Blue Devils grabbed 14 offensive boards in the opening 20 minutes.
The lead changed hands several times early in the second half, with the Heels taking their biggest lead, 43-39, on Dexter Strickland's layup near the 12- minute mark. Duke called timeout after the basket and quickly tied it on buckets by Singler and Smith.

Using with Flash Heal Edit
While note above still actual for "Surge healing", there is at least one more thing to take into consideration. You may wish to increase your mana efficiency with these mana-free casts, but doing that requires you to make additional instant cast and thus, use extra Global cooldown. As Flash Heal is minor (that is the main difference from "Surge Smiting", where you will cast the same Smite spell, not some minor variation) healing spell and provides relatively little heal, "Surge healing" may sometimes reduce your HpS. On other hand, you will often have some kind of instant-cast "emergency spell", if you get enough critical heals to keep Surge of Light buff up for most of the time. This instant-cast heal may be used when your common Power Word: Shield is unavailable, for example, due to Weakened Soul debuff. Consider these notes before deciding, if you want to spend your talent points in this way or not. This talent is very useful in pvp cause its instant cast ability could make the difference between life or death.
