Chapter 4Mature
Norza dropped to her knees in the confined space of the tight cistern, vomiting as she did so. She wretched violently for some time, as her body shuddered. The thing inside her would not let her lose consciousness. She had shut down on the rooftop because of the intensity of the blast. It had disrupted its control of her for a moment but she couldn't maintain consciousness long enough to make use of the time. She sobbed inwardly at her inability to act.
Grannox stumbled as he made his way through the damp sewers, paying little heed to her suffering. It had almost consumed him, but it preferred to leave her as close to undamaged as it could –to prolong her suffering. If she was mindless, then there could be no torment and it lived to torment her. It particularly liked to abuse Grannox for her to watch helplessly. It took such delight in the little torments over the centuries of her long imprisonment. She was its puppet –forced to play a role to suit whatever game it had begun ages ago.
Rarely did it surface. She'd come to understand that it desired concealment more than it desired to express its power, and a powerful thing it was. She had been its prize now for over four hundred years, and it delighted in her humiliation at every turn. Not even in her dreams could she escape it.
She pulled off the gloves of her suit and looked at her hands. She was allowed most times to move on her own because it had no fear of her being able to escape. Like some sick voyeur, it preferred to watch the endless entertainment of Norza the Mercenary, Norza the killer.
How many had she killed at its bidding? A hundred? A thousand? She tried to pretend that it didn't matter, but it did. For one such as her each death was etched indelibly in her mind –a silent testament to her utter defeat and shame at the hands of this… monster. She remembered how she resisted… for so long she resisted. Through agony and pain and sorrow she struggled and resisted –until it turned its hate on Grannox.
She wretched again, doubling over on her knees. This time she could feel it expelling itself from inside her. It rarely did this, but each time it felt as painful and humiliating as it had the first time it revealed itself to her. It didn't allow itself to be violently expelled, but rather oozed out of her nose and mouth, forcing her to gasp and clutch for each breath until enough of its ooze had come out for it to form itself into a cohesive shape. She understood that it could have come out as a single particle, but again it preferred to torment her at every available opportunity. As the last of it oozed out, she fell forward onto her face into the muck. Grannox turned to her, but there was no hint of the person he had been before; before Ubrias had claimed them both.
It swirled in the muck before her. She lifted her head from the muck and wiped away what she could with her hands. She looked to Grannox. He oozed blood from the wound at his back. The creature that fired its archaic projectile weapon at him had been deadly accurate. This time, had it not been for her tormentor he would have surely died, and she might have found some release. Even now she could tell that it worked to keep him alive, repairing the damage in its own way. She was thankful that Grannox was little more that an automaton now. If there was anything left in him that could feel pain, she did not know. To its delight, the mere sight of him injured again and again broke her inside.
This was not the planet that Ithica should have landed on. From its intelligence, she knew that Ellah should have deposited her on Chula –the nearest world in the Vaelor. She'd had many men there waiting to assist in the capture of an Un-Mated Daughter of Ellah. She unhooked her suit and let it fall away, so that she could inspect for any damage to her skin that might have escaped its notice. She preferred the feel of air on her skin. On her native world, clothing was not conducive to survival. A jungle world of lush vegetation, filled with predators made clothing impractical for movement through its environment. G'narins only wore clothing off world.
The plan had gone well, for the most part, but the result was… dissatisfying. The creature that interrupted her chase was far superior to other fighters she'd encountered before. That was the first time she had actually been escaped in such a manner. Since she knew little of this planet, she had no idea of whether or not the rest of their species would be so agile and swift. She had not anticipated the creature using her Null Motion pulse like that. Either they were well aware of her capabilities, or phenomenally lucky.
She removed the communications array from her suit. She didn't bother to switch on the holovid. The encoding would identify her to her people, and it didn't want them seeing her in such circumstances. In this she realized that they would not follow her if she was openly humiliated, and that would work counter to its ends. She did a check of the nearby stellar cartography to determine where she was. Interstellar communication wasn't the problem; distance from her forces in relation to ships of Vaelor, capture and certain execution were problems, though. After a few minutes processing the information her com system computer, showed her where she was.
They were thousands of light years away from any place in the Vaelor confederation! This was impossible—there had never been a foldspace event of this magnitude. It professed extensive knowledge of the Daughters and their abilities; their weaknesses and their strengths as well as the makeup of the system of Ellah. Since they travelled within the Vaelor, they were under constant protection of member worlds. At the point at which her forces attacked and disabled her vessel and the convoy, she shouldn't have been able to cross this distance. The amount of energy it took to cross this distance would have killed a hundred Daughters of Ellah. They had literally crossed the galaxy in one jump!
The special suits its weaponers had given her crew allowed them to access the foldspace event, very much like prying open a door with a lever, but only within two to three seconds of the event. Her two lieutenants had crossed at the limit of their suit's technology. The foldspace portal would not collapse until all matter within it had been expelled. It was though they all hitched a ride on the same event. Her foldspace jump made it possible for the two of them to make their foldspace jump. No one else was close enough to have reached the entry point before the event closed behind them. It could have maintained the corridor –she knew that the thing inside her could manipulate foldspace just as easily as the Ellah, but it preferred to remain in concealment.
Contacting her people would take time at this distance. Of the three of them, only she and Grannox survived the encounter. They disintegrated their comrade after removing his equipment. It had been displeased with how easily he had been outwitted, and so he suffered the ultimate punishment for his overconfidence. At least with only the two of them currently –it would not risk another open confrontation.
Daughters of Ellah had assisted in mapping the routes to these foldspace routes throughout the galaxy. Its weaponer's technology allowed her to hide her fleet of ships within a foldspace passage and attack there. Under its orchestrations, it had forced her to create a sizable force of soldiers –all of which were expendable to this one end. In the end, the vessel's crew was more than equal to the task of raiding a fleet of Vaelor ships. The raid went as planned but the crew it seems was as finely trained as their reputations and managed to hold her at bay until they exited foldspace.
It coalesced into a cloud in front of her. She no longer recoiled in front of it. Even though she had broken, she could control this much. It would punish her for allowing Ithica to escape. In this she took some small comfort as it floated towards her, with malevolent intent.
Chief Warrant Officer Taylor John "T.J." Brent checked his boots, then his gear, as the rest of his team did the same. The Center's director, Harlan Cole, had scrambled the team within moments of the alarm sound on their downtown facility. They were professionals, all with diverse backgrounds, ranging from law enforcement to a former accountant turned bounty hunter. Pursuit team Alpha was the very best at what they did. As Cole contented himself with running the Center, he left the tactical arm of the Concern to Brent. Brent and all of his team were Bions – prosthetically enhanced soldiers. Given the nature of most of the Center's residents and the programs that spawned them, it was essential to be able to meet force with superior force. The Bion program was the only bio-enhancement program endorsed Earth Directorate. Though he operated nowhere near the levels that Cole could in combat, he was several times more effective on the battlefield than a platoon of regular soldiers.
He'd lost the use of his limbs while he'd served in the Marines during the Niger Action of 2037, when his transport was hit by a mortar shell. Bion limbs were utilized in civilian applications, so the use of bion limbs on a currently serving soldier –allowing him to return to full duty status was an accepted procedure. Military bion limbs were hardened to withstand the rigors of combat. The endoskeleton was a type of hardened lightweight alloy, but the muscles were artificially grown in a lab. The skin he possessed was also artificially created, was a direct genetic match to the rest of his body.
The systems design was hailed for simplicity and efficiency, being the first truly synthetic functioning prosthesis that could be attached without actual onboard computer systems. Unlike robotics, the bion limbs required no power source –external or otherwise. The enhancements were passive systems like increased blood flow to and from the limbs, significantly improved response time and of course strength. Brent could easily bench press nearly eight hundred pounds when fully rested. His speed and reflexes were about two to three times as fast –but not superhuman like Cole. Harlan Cole had been a one of a kind.
He'd actually happened upon the assignment at the center during his convalescence. It was a light duty assignment that allowed him to stay near Bethesda where he could be monitored while they waited for him to be certified to return to duty. After six months, he couldn't think of going back to the front lines. It wasn't that he was afraid of combat –but it seemed mundane in comparison. Cole put in a word with the Marine Corps, and he was officially "Loaned" to the program.
"Everyone suited up?" He barked. "Let's move Alpha!"
Brent was a hard core Marine in every sense of the word. He was loud, and common as they come, but the men wouldn't want anyone else with them in a tight spot –save perhaps Cole.
His commlink beeped. "Brent." He responded.
"Cole here. Your mission is hunt and capture. I'm beaming you the intel that we have –you can punch up the image on the display. We have no idea of the capabilities of who we're after so do it by the numbers. We want all parties alive –though deadly force is authorized if you feel you're lives are in jeopardy. I want you guys back here alive."
"Don't go all pansy on me, Cole. We know the drill."
"Make contact, but do not engage. I want to know where they are –but we're going in at strength when you find them."
"Roger that." He replied.
"I'm serious, Brent. We don't know what we're up against and I want calmer heads to prevail on this one…"

We took the train to the Alcansak station, and arrived late at night. We accidently wandered into a VERY sketchy area, with all of our luggage and two small children! Thankfully, we were able to get online and quickly book the Ramada Izmir. A taxi took us there without any problem, and the stay was very nice for the price. Breakfast looked impressive, but not great tasting. Staff was very snooty; they obviously thought their hotel was the best the world had ever seen.
First of all, the breakfast was superb and staff was kind&friendly. Unfortunately my partner had a misfortunate accident in the pool changing room due to a fall on the slippery/wet floor and has been in bed since but we would like to thank to your staff who were very helpful to get us some tablets on a Sunday morning while all the neighbouring drugstores were shut. Of course the wet floor :(
Friendly staff.
Extremely kind and helpful staff. Large and clean rooms. Very comfortable beds.
We found the hotel to be freindly & very central to all locations of Izmir
location and quality
world stantard hotel great breakfast friendly helpful staff great view of the ocean
it's good value for money (around EUR 100 ) - well equipped Gym; good food in the 9th floor rest. The hotel is a bit older and it shows. Expensive food and drink and the topfloor restaurant that they advertise is closed all summer.
Professional staff. Quick check-in and check-out. Restaurant open till late.
Location staff was not helpful
the price was excellent and the view of the room was marvelous not at all
I enjoyed the view from the room, the breakfast was full and the location that is very central. I find it a little old-fashion, a renovation seems necessary.
Great destination ... staff is extremely friendly, extremely good spa and gym, brand new and very nice, ... Do not change anything, just perfect
We got excellent service. The spa is one of the best i've every seen in a hotel.
Very satisfied by the high standard of service and facilities. It is an excellent place to relax in the middle of the city.
room was very nice, location perfect entrance is not convenient for cars, and main door is not impressive as it should be
Very good location, close to the city center and sea site; ecxelent decoration, friendly stuff and clean... Everything was perfect
Excellent staff who took initiatives to be of assistance. Internet in room did not work, even though that had been requested as essential
Fabulous hotel. Huge very luxuous rooms. Perfect, very nice staff. The best breakfast we never had in a hotel.
Hotel facilities and good service.
Very well run hotel with good services in an ideal location Some of the light coloured carpets in the room and corridors were marked/stained.
Stayed here many times and "£ per luxury offered" is probably the best value experienced. The rooms are superbly designed and the beds very comfortable. Attention to detail in every aspect of room provisions for business or pleasure. All room electicals modern and working. Buffet Breakfast plentiful and good choices. Immaculate public areas. Free valet parking. Everything you would expect from a 'proper' 5 star hotel. Staff at breakfast slow and couldn't understand basic English words like "tea" or "coffee", or their Turkish equivalent. Annoying, but gave us something to laugh about!! Would have expected fresh orange juice at breakfast, not the sunny-delight-style provided. Tried to stay an extra night but reception insisted they were full, yet booking.com showed plenty of availability.
Very good hotel in a very good location. Rooms are not standart (size, view, etc.) We were a small group and had different rooms for the same reservation. This should be mentioned on the reservation form. In this location, we would like to see the sea, not the other appartments on the back side of the hotel...
the kindness of the stuff too much noise in the room from outside because of bad windows
Friendly staff with professional attitude. N.a.
Competent almost to a fault. Excellent internet service and included in the hotel room rate. The only fault I could find was that the bathroom scale displayed "Lo" which I am sure did not refer my weight. Probably the battery was shot.
i see this hotel very nice hotel and pepole very helpful no nothing every thing good
location, comfort, cuisine and all others no
First & most important was the outstanding service. The level of service that really proves Movenpick understands from top-to-bottom what real service means, Genuinely friendly, expediant & constantly professional, such a rare commodity found in any industry or any country. Safe, clean, comfortable, convenient, even luxurious isn't what brings me back. It's always about the service! Movenpick (Izmir, Turkey) gets top marks across the board. I'm already looking to find Movenpick for my upcoming travel destinations. Wonderful to have seperate bathtub & walk-in shower. But, if one wants to take a bath, the bathtub too narrow in width to sit comfortably & too high to step into, especially for shorter women &/or older individuals with arthritis of the knees or hips.
This is nice hotel in the center of Izmir. It stands near the sea and there is a gret wiev from the room. It's rather cmfortable to go walk aroud and stay in city center when you stay in this hotel.
The staff were incredibly polite and accommodating. They were polite and welcoming from the second I stepped into the hotel. Once upstairs I felt very comfortable that they would ask if it was ok to enter the room to leave the luggage inside. They also had more than enough hotel staff at all times that I never had to wait to have a question answered. The bar the top floor was beautiful and the bartender was very sweet and engaged in conversation with us about our trip in Turkey so far. The rooms were beautiful and the sound proof windows worked excellently despite being next to a busy city.
We had a suite, which I could not fault at all..very comfortable clean and as id expect from movenpick hotels......I Have been in a few. BUT..............see below The staff are really friendly, accommodating, polite ,but regrettably seem a little untrained, and lacking in common sense. It wouldnt prevent me from staying in your hotel again, I find it kind of charming in a way, but im sure others might find it irritating....the areas of service im referring to are room service and breakfast service...........I Will not add any specific complaints, because no one was rude, quite the contrary. But it feels as if your kind friendly staff might be out of touch with international standards , where service is concerned.
From the standpoint of my travel experience I could confirm that this Hotel offers one of the best service I've seen. The room was spacious, staff friendly, reliable internet connection, business center offers whatever is needed for printing out the docs and etc. I agree with the other references - the hall for breakfast is not enough for such big Hotel, however I was lucky not to face the crowd since was not eating in the early morning. As for comments - would be nice to have additional hooks for towels and bathrobe in the bathroom, and also I had some problems with AC - the temperature was automaticly set to 25 C and it was too hot with no possibility to change that
Luxury hotel at a very low price!Big room, all the facilites offered by a 4/5 star hotel. Best breakfast had in Turkey. All that you can imagine in big quantities and excelent taste. The location could be a negative or positive point, it depends on your needs. The hotel is about 15 minutes walking from the sea, but near the bazar.
good value for money
Excellent breakfast, very helpful service at front desk (despite some minor communication challenges with english) - arranged excellent tour of Ephesus at price cheaper than tour companies could offer. Short walk to waterfront (good sunsets) and great local restaurants, such as Servet.
Price Rooms were too small and stuffy.
The people were very friendly, and the hotel very nice. The rooms are very small.
Clean, comfortable hotel with very helpfull staff. Good location in easy walking distance to waterfront.
Design and location beside the service and price.
Work in Progress,
The tripple room was small for three persons
The rooms are very small and dark. It is too far away from the sea.The location of the hotel is very poor in a small alley. The buffet breakfast was limited and looked stale. Did not like anything. Total waste of money and time. Never stay again.
The hotel is fairly quiet but not in the best neighborhood. Walking distance to the waterfront, bazaar and train station. Room was a bit small. Breakfast is very Turkish. Only one English langugae channel (NBC)
It was extremely fancy for the price, with automatic window shades, lights and a free mini-bar.
Hotel room was high tech and nicely furnished. Great water view. The breakfast buffet was excellent. Nice lobby bar area.
great seaside view , nice personnel bathroom clean but pretty wear out
lokasyon, wireless
Very hard to find access/street to the hotel. First room had a smelly batroom and being on a lower floor was very noisy from the restaurant. We managed to move to 18th floor. It was fine.
nothing dirty,noisy,old furniture
The restaurant view Very expensive
Great location, plenty of nice restaurants and bars. Our room had everything we needed plus excellent sea view.
In an excellent position,very comfortable beds,spacious room with sea view, first class varied breakfast. Very conveniently placed for shopping and resaruarants. An excellent choice for visitors to Izmir, we will be returning. No
the location- walking distance from ferry , restaurants and the kordon, the view from the hotel, the room and breakfast
The view from the rooms and about everything. I am very pleased with this hotel
Excellent location in the centre of Alsançak close to the sea, restaurants,bars and shops.Great views from roof top bar.Room had balcony. Not suitable if you don't like heights.Very tall hotel and the only lift is a glass elavator one on the outside of the buildıng. A little bit scary!!
Spa, massage All good no comment
nice breakfast,nice rooms,nice place and super massage in hammam and sauna... everything was perfect...i ask people who will make reservation SC INN hotel staff is really bad and you understand it after you stay in this hotel...
Excellent Service, Superior Room but a very bad neigbourgood! The hotel is situated in a bad neigbourhood, which I did not know. I would not reccomend this hotel for couples or women, because the hotel is located in a women unfriendly environment!
Very nice rooms,nice place, еxcellent service & staff.
very nice people at reception, a "local guide" for me, told me everything about the city, very helpful!!!
staff friendly rooms good food good good location no air con room very hot at night just bearable
The service of the reception was perfect and the crew very friendly. The restaurant has a excelent cuisine. The internet connection was very good this time. In general, the hotel crew is very friendly.
Very friendly helpful efficient staff. Spacioud clean rooms. Good position in quiet but central road.
the room was excellent, and the breakfast was delicious the renovations going on outside the front of the hotel that was a turn off
good location in the city The administration was a little chaotic. We reserved two rooms (one double and one single) and by chance the mixed up the names. This lead a problem at the settlement, because first the cashier wanted to count two times the extras (by name and by room number). After clearing the situation still counted separately the breakfast and the local tax (which was explicitly included in the confirmation in the room price). This dispute took more than a half hour and i finally gave up in order not to miss the plan. Other remark is that in front of the hotel the road was under construction - we could survive, but just bad that one week before the arrival it was not mentioned on the web side - neither any discount offered for the inconvenience.
Quality of the services provided and extremely professional and friendly staff. Nothing to write in this category
Excellent 4-star value for money, very decent and friendly hotel, would recommend front-side rooms which have a balcony.
the rooms the satff is not so kind...
I loved it! The staff was really great! It was my first hotel I felt very well treated. Breakfast huge and very good. Location just perfect. The airco maybe not very modern but it was really no problem.
Location is best.
The room was very clean with good amenities. Being able to watch TV from the jacuzzi bath tv is definitely a plus! The room numbers were very difficult to read.
beautiful rooms difficult to find without a cab!
Quiet and friendly
I stayed in the most basic room and although a bit small, was beautiful, spotlessly clean, filled with every detail. They provided bathrobe, slippers, free tea/coffee/water, minibar, hairdryer, jacuzzi, a lot of bathroom products, iron press, laptop size safe etc. Good breakfast, good room service. Not much i didn't like, except for 3 days there was no toilet paper in the ladies toilet at the restaurant. The staff are good, not overly friendly but helpful when asked.
the rooms are very well and nicely designed, clean, practical and comfortable. Rooms include all the amenities that one needs. Staff are helpful and friendly. not applicable
cleanliness of the hotel
Immediate service in a small hotel was quite impressive. Staff was very helpful in identifying alternatives for tourist spots and the logistics associated with visiting them. Great local feel. Daily charge for wireless should be stated on web.
The staff at Hotel Beyond was friendly. They allowed us to use their laptop whenever we needed it and they were always willing to help us out with directions. The rooms were spacious, very comfortable, and spotless. Breakfast was amazıng, with a great selection of food. The walls were a bit thin, so you could hear the television and talking from other rooms.
The facility that they provided me with a lap top and I could use in my own room to check my E-mails. Breakfast to have more items of English breakfast.
Location was perfect, staff was kind, rooms were well furnished and equipped. Breakfast should be improved a bit.
Wonderful views, comfortable bed, friendly and helpful staff. Good bathroom with excellent shower. I would certainly choose this hotel again for a business trip as there is free internet access and is near to the city centre.
Comfort and facilities within the rooms. Superb views over the sea. Cleanliness of entire hotel. Very helpful staff. Minor difficulties at first in operating the safes in the rooms, but resolved quite quickly.
Very very clean, amazing sea view, interesting room decoration, good room size, the staff was very helpful. The English level of the staff needs to be improved, more breakfast choices
Placed on excellent position, clean, very good view, good breakfast No, everything was perfect
the hotel location is excellent with a very nice view on the sea, room is clean, good value for money. limited choices on breakfast, hotel staff was not very helpful. A/C went down many times in my room because of the hotel electricity saving system
view was perfect.. but ask for the front view rooms.., location of the hotel is super.
Rich breakfast, central location in down town, the full Panoramic sea view and the sea side promenade. no
Good valde för Money. Clean and Big rooms. Friendly staff. Carpet is out of date. Breakfeast rather small.
The place was a small apartment more than a room. Good modern furniture. Low price with breakfast in the room included. Helpful and friendly staff.
Friendliness of staff and manager; overall confort of the apartment, beter than the pictures
I like just the rooms Not a good are not worth for the money
Spacious rooms, lots of comfort. Breakfast to the room at no cost The location specially for families
Very good price and comfortable rooms You can hear everything from different rooms
Fantastic. Thanks, Bora, you were great. We were let down by our first Hotel arrangements and booked Residence Comfort based on other reviews at the last minute. The reviews were absolutely correct. We flew in to Izmir at 3am in the morning and had rung Bora after making the booking to advise we and our young children were arriving at that time. Bora emailed instructions for the Taxi driver and our airport transfer went smoothly. Our room was much like a furnished apartment, beautifully appointed, and had a washing machine & powder as well. Breakfast was quite good, also. The location was quite good and walking distance to water front and Konac Square. We would stay here again and recommend this Hotel to everyone.
Friendly stuff, like home, clean, private parking
very nice accomodation for money
The quality of the room was excellent, very clean and equiped. breakfast was delivered to room every morning, the service on reception was excellent, would stay there again.
Good location, within a block of the downtown bus station overpriced for what you get sterile atmosphere
The hotel is really excellent!
I enjoyed the comfort offered by this clean, well located hotel.
The design of the hotel was modern and attractive. Our standard double room was spacious with a very clean and attractive bathroom. Unfortunately, we found the reception staff quite abrupt and unhelpful when we arrived.
Enlgish speaking staff. Room was comfortable especially for the price. Location was the weak point
Hotel was in a quiet neighborhood close to the Grand Bazaar, Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque. Hotel staff was friendly knowledgeable and rooms were exceptionally clean and comfortable.
pool is available but vey small very noisy due to the works in the street, up to 1 o'clock in the night. My windows was
very nice desing and location in izmir
excellent hotel
the room was clean and luxurious, with thoughtful attention applied particularly in the bathroom. there was a flight of stairs to the lifts in order to get to the rooms, however the sexurity guard was always very helpful. the lock on the inside of the room is not child friendly as- all it takes is the child to pull the door handle which unlocks the door automatically. the swimming pool was also too cold for comfort-we did not go in, which is a shame as it was beautifully designed
Comfortable and friendly and the fruit on arrival excellent
It was a superb stay, during which the staff shown cooperation from the moment i stepped into the reception area. the rooms where very good in design and arrangement and cleanliness. the booking was easy and as for the money i was more than satisfied.
This is my second stay at Susuzlu Atlantis and probably not the last.I find it good value for money and the fact that my car is parked in a garage gives me peace of mind in a city where parking can sometimes be a problem.Also I like to mention that the staff is very curtious and helpful. very dim light wich makes it difficult for reading
i liked a lot the fact tha the hotel was in the center of the town. In addition, the hotel staff was cleaning the room every day. the hotel staff didnt know english! Very tiring for any communication. The reception staff was not very friendly and hospitable
The hotel staff is not friendly. There was lots of cigarrate smell in the room though it's non-smoking room.

The Irish pubs of Montréal are among the very best places to get an authentic taste of the city's nightlife while also satisfying your thirst. Though renowned for our wealth of high-end, fancy cocktails spots, if you're looking for a simple, friendly place to get a pint of beer and some great pub food, Montréal has you covered.
You may be surprised to learn the extent of Montréal's connection to Ireland. When the Great Irish Famine hit the Emerald Isle, large numbers of Irish immigrants made their way to the new world, many of whom settled in Montréal. It's perhaps not all that surprising that they were received well by the French Canadians – both groups were Catholic and both groups (this part is largely anecdotal) enjoy a good drink, song and a party. For proof, look no further than Montréal's annual Saint Patrick's Day parade, one of the largest in the world (and a heck of a good time).
In that spirit, let this be your guide to some of the city's best Irish pubs…..
McKibbins Irish Pub – 1426 Bishop Street and 3515 Saint- Laurent Boulevard
A very authentic slice of Ireland, of their four locations, the original is located in downtown Montréal (where the majority of the city's Irish pubs are located) and another is conveniently situated on St. Laurent Boulevard in the nearby Plateau Mont-Royal district. These spots are always jumping and are standing room only on St. Patty's.
Hurley's Irish Pub – 1225 Crescent Street
A local favourite, Hurley's is a darkly lit, winding labyrinth of small rooms and intimate seats tucked into secluded corners. They've got great draft beers on tap, including some harder-to-find varieties like Murphy's and Harp, and their food is delicious and wholly authentic. Try the Guinness beef stew.
Brutopia – 1219 Crescent Street
While not technically an "Irish" pub, the always popular microbrewery known for its seasonal beers, lovely pub food and lively music deserves, at the very least, honorary status.
Le Vieux Dublin Pub and Restaurant – 636 Cathcart Street
Great live music and 50 different single malts, the Old Dublin (as it's known in English) is a city institution that comes as close to Irish pub royalty as it gets.
McLean's Pub – 1210 Peel Street
This is a pretty straightforward pub, but with a draft list that has over 17 different types and includes some Irish faves, it deserves a mention. And hey, their pool, poker and wing nights are universally beloved.
Irish Embassy Pub and Grill – 1234 Bishop Street
This large, sprawling spot boasts a sleek yet comfortable décor and huge flat screen TVs everywhere. They've got a great terrasse, very popular 5-à-7s and food that ranges from pub grub to the more fancy daily specials.
Fiddler's Green Irish Pub – 1224 Bishop Street
Boasting the "Best Fish n' Chips on dry land", Fiddlers Green serves up hearty food, live music Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday, plus the Pub Quiz and all-day Happy Hour on Sundays.
Ye Olde Orchard Pub and Grill – 5563 Monkland Street, 1189 de la Montagne Street, 20 Prince-Arthur Street West
A very popular meeting spot with Montrealers of all (legal) ages, Ye Olde Orchard has gone from its original Monkland Village digs to six Montréal-and-area locations. Best of all, they all boast very fun staff members, a good beer selection and above-average food.
Honey Martin – 5916 Sherbrooke Street West
Lastly, just a little off the beaten path in Montréal's Notre-Dame-de-Grâce (N.D.G.) neighbourhood, is Honey Martin. A homey hole-in-the-wall, Honey Martin is the real neighbourhood Irish pub deal, as their fiercely loyal clientele will only be too happy to let you know.

You Stay Classy, Argentina Fans
As Brazil gets ready to take the pitch for their World Cup semifinal match with Germany, they'll do it without their young superstar Neymar. He was knocked out of the tournament with a fractured vertebrae. But Brazil's biggest rivals apparently have no sympathy for the young forward. This group of Argentinian fans are taking great joy in mocking Neymar's injury with a fake spine.

I saw the video today. It is, as was the performance, cringeworthy.I hate it, but some of you guys might like it. It's basically the edit of the song they sang on the shows and they have managed to make even the sane parts of 'Bo Rhap' make no sense. Also they like to act out the words so when he sings "put a gun goes against his head, pulled my trigger now his dead" he pretends to shoot himself and he falls back against the other band members.I think the band will go the way of One True Voice rather than Girls Aloud or Will Young. But im sure some of y'all will like it.

We consider a simple model of a cloud chamber consisting of a test particle (the α-particle) interacting with two quantum systems (the atoms of the vapor) initially confined around \({a_1, a_2 \in \mathbb{R}^3}\) . At time zero, the α-particle is described by an outgoing spherical wave centered in the origin and the atoms are in their ground state. We show that, under suitable assumptions on the physical parameters of the system and up to second order in perturbation theory, the probability that both atoms are ionized is negligible unless a2 lies on the line joining the origin with a1. The work is a fully time-dependent version of the original analysis proposed by Mott in 1929.

Its no longer just a day dream...
Once upon a time there was a little girl who was a little quirky & didn't feel like she fit in with the popular kids, but she found a happiness in silly little things like having a rather grand collection of coloured pencils and putting them all in order. Fast forward 30 years & the journey included wonderful discoveries such as clay, wood, beads and fabric, then one day the now grown up girl had an ever expanding family and discovered knitting...
Hi there! I'm Sian (pronounced 'sharn' for the non Welsh among us) & I started my business out of a love of hand making items.
One thing I noticed when I started knitting was even though there was such a vast array of yarn available from many high street shops, it just wasn't, for want of a better word, 'posh' enough to do a knit that you have put all you love & time into justice. So with a little help from youtube and 'learn as you go along' attitude I taught myself to spin my own yarns and hand card and prepare fibers. I am also experimenting with wet felting and needle felting.
I now stock commercial roving and knitting needles along side my hand carded and handmade rolags, art batts and handspun yarns so what ever you favourite fluff related craft you can hopefully find a little something to inspire you.
My idea of one day having my own creative business is no longer Justadaydream... and I love every moment of it :)

I wanted to get a chance to let my buddy use this platform for his wood flooring business. So for today and today only, we're gonna have him teach a little bit about the hardwood flooring industry.
Tips For Choosing and Installing the Right Hardwood Floor Color
Hardwood flooring can add beauty and warmth to your home. It can also be a long term investment. So, you have decided to get hardwood floors. Easy enough, right? Pick a wood, color and style and you are done with it. Well, not so fast. There are a lot of factors and features that will determine what kind of hardwood flooring your home can accomodate and what will look best with your existing furniture and decor.
Hardwood flooring is usually made of two basic options: solid wood and engineered wood. Generally speaking, solid wood is what you generally think of as a general hardwood flooring: solid planks of wood. On the other side, engineered wood flooring is made of a thin layer that sits on a core of plywood. Sometimes is engineered wood harder and denser than typical hardwood. Engineered wood deals with moisture usually better than solid wood and is often recommended for concrete slab subfloors. Traditional solid hardwood floors are not well suited for below-grade installations as there is the possibility of moisture issues.
Furthermore, if you intend to install the wood flooring yourself, engineered-wood flooring is the best unless you have a plethora of experience with flooring installation. On the other hand, engineered-wood flooring is way less expensive and much easier to install. It also comes prefinished. This means that you don't need to sand the floor, dramatically simplyfying the task of installing the floor.
Keep in mind that you should plan to order 10% more flooring than is needed as much of the material will be cut to fit your rooms. Once the boards are cut, they cannot be used elsewhere as the end tongue or groove are also removed. If the room is square with no interruptions, less than 10% might work.There are three basic methods of installing hardwood flooring: glue-down, nail-down and floating. When nailing or stapling down hardwood floors, the subfloor must be made of a material that will hold nails or staples for the life of the floor. Glued-down carpet, plywood over concrete or vinyl should be removed to get down to the solid flat and dry subfloor.
Wooden floors are in most cases laid floating, allowing for sheer expansion and contraction. Lay a vapor barrier if necessary, then roll outunderlayment. For the first three or four rows of flooring, choose very straight boards. In the next step, cut one starter board for each row. These boards should vary in length by at the very least five or six inches so the end joints of these boards will be staggered by at least five inches from row to row. Do this carefully and always plan ahead.
Position the first board of the hardwood, with its tongue facing into the room. Use spacers to maintain an expansion gap against the wall. You can also buy a laminate kit, which includes tools such as a pull bar, wedges and a tapping block. These tools come with instructions which may help you learn how to use these tools.
When choosing the color of your wood floor, take full advantage of flooring samples. While photos of interiors may give you a general idea of what the end result may be, it's a good idea to see the floor color on-site, in its natural environment. If you prefer a classic, rustic look, go with natural unstained wood or maybe traditional shades of brown. Dark and black tones generally speaking are a popular choice for modern and chic interiors, urban condos and the like. Bold and deep colors, such as various shades of red, add character to offices, public interiors and hallways. Learning to think of flooring as an indispensable element of decor is necessary in order to pick the best possible wood floor color. While personal preference matters, it should not always be a deciding factor. Style and existing colors should be given proper consideration.After you install your new hardwood floor, keep in mind that it should be cleaned regularly. To accomplish that, simply sweep, dust mop or vacuum the floor carefully to remove dirt from between the floorboards. Avoid using a wet mop or wet rag on hardwood floors as water can damage the wood over longer periods of time. Special rugs can be purchased from a wood flooring retailer that will protect the floors from discoloration.

Recently, Modelo had the opportunity to learn more about Jose's unique approach and design philosophy.
On becoming an architect and indie game developer
My architecture career took a turn once I decided to leave my home country, Chile, to go and do a master degree in London. I was part of the AA DRL, a master degree focused on technology and processes. I knew I wanted to learn how to code and engage with procedural geometry. The skills that I acquired there were essential to start thinking of architecture not as one building but rather as a process or a system that could have different outcomes. All the theories and techniques in this field were derived from nature, and I specialized in self-organizing systems, and how behaviors can emerge out of simple rules.
For several years, I was able to work for the firm Biothing with Alisa Andrasek learning more about computation and getting more comfortable at writing software.
In 2014, I was offered to teach a studio and was encouraged to find my own voice, not just replicate what I had been taught in school. For quite some time I had been thinking of the relation between self-organizing systems and gaming, and how I could write software that could be more interactive and would guide the user through a specific narrative. I realized that childhood's interest had always been linked to games and simulations, and was finally able to connect the dots between an academic speculation and a personal gut feeling.
Gaming in architecture became a very personal agenda that I dedicated a great deal of time to develop a theoretical infrastructure and a technical workflow to be able to teach over the years to come. In the back of my mind, was always the intention to develop my own video game, but It would take some time to develop the skills to do so.
On discovering his voice as a designer
I was always a big fan of Simcity and games by Will Wright, but this was something I forgot once I went into architecture. The Minecraft phenomena started while I was doing my master in London, and that certainly played a big influence on me. I had the luck to meet Karsten Schmidt, who became a kind of mentor in terms of developing code. I feel I ended up moving away and becoming critical of all the teaching I received in London. In a way, my personal intuition was going in the opposite direction from what I was taught, so it was really difficult to leave some things behind. I was very influenced by Object Oriented Ontology in particular by Ian Bogost and Timothy Morton. Bogost was perhaps the most influential and became a central figure in my syllabus, connecting philosophy and gaming and turning the page from a process driven paradigm. Other figures like Casey Reas and Daniel Shiffman were a great inspiration regarding the contribution to a larger community.
On starting Plethora-Project
The Plethora Project started as a series of video tutorials showing viewers how to code. I was hoping to contribute back to the community that allowed me to learn how to code with great free content available online. The Processing community, in particular, was incredibly helpful and influential at the moment of defining the ethos of my practice.
The site slowly started growing and I was able to post my own work alongside all the teaching material. I felt that the community needed to get better, so any contribution was precious. The name of the project, 'Plethora' reflects on the search for an abundance of access and knowledge that we can generate as a community.
For a few years of having the site as a side project, I decided to start my own design studio in 2012 under the same name. I decided to make the turn towards architecture and games research, thinking that gaming would be an important medium for the communication of architectural ideas.
On specific principles he strives to adhere to
I have come to realized that most of the projects I work on have a social component to them. My first project Bloom, in collaboration with Alisa Andrasek, was a take on crowdsourcing the fabrication of an installation. The project was conceived as a game and would use the players as a form of adaptation. This social aspect became a central role, understanding the challenge and uncertainty of working with an unpredictable system. It provided fresh energy to the very deterministic computation that I had been dealing with for several years. Future projects like Block'hood, would take this challenge to a whole new level.
On his primary focus at Plethora-Project
To talk about the role is to give the impression that there is a large team with specialized responsibilities. For the past year, Plethora-Project has been a very small studio of 2 people. I believe in crafts of the projects, so everyone I work with needs to contribute at every level. I'm a generalist and enjoy going from technical details to the conception of the larger picture.
I strongly believe that there is a problem of how many architects develop a career within a practice; once someone becomes a project manager, they basically switch roles to do something they know little about (managing) and stop doing what they do best (designing). I believe this one of the central reason for poor time management and the long hours of work we architects are known for. In a way, an architecture career takes an architect away from the crafts of design, into a career in management and directing.
I hope to be able to continue learning and designing as the studio grows, and hopefully, bring people in with expertise in domains we designers lack.
These days my main focus in to understand how design ideas propagate and how to design systems to motivate that growth. This goes from systems design to software development or designing form. All contribute to a larger goal.
On recent projects that represent his unique approach
I do think that Block'hood represents what the studio is looking for; a technological infrastructure that can operate at a planetary scale, using games as a medium for a two-way conversation. The development of a community and the communication of larger architectural ideas, being inclusive and seeking the outliers that provide insight in the blind spot we have as designers.
To do this, the studio has given up physical production for some time, focusing on software infrastructure. This is always a challenge as people expect architecture to be 'material', but Block'hood has, in the recent 3 weeks since its release, been able to communicate to a large audience worldwide. The project has also opened the door for a new business model for designers that does not rely on a client, promoting a more entrepreneurial approach to the development of a practice. While unconventional, I think the potential of the project suggests that this strategy is worth pursuing.
On his design toolkit
I do most of my work through code. That is my medium of choice. These days I work within Unity3D writing code in C#. I enjoy thinking on the reusability of code and how a system can be used many different scenarios. In a way, to design with code is not to think of one object but in a multiplicity of objects, all different based on their contingent interactions. I work under a computational paradigm that I call 'combinatorial design' which is opposed to 'parametric design'. Parametric design is based on the variation of variables, altering the intensities of a particular value. This describes a process or network that is deterministic and that has no flexibility outside the variables that have been pre-described. A combinatorial approach, on the other hand, is based on the permutations allowed by discrete entities. This describes patterns or arrangements of elements that can work together. While a parametric model can offer a variation degree, a combinatorial model can offer a variation of kind.
On the state of design software today
We live in an exciting time, as the tools we don't have, we can build. We are no longer slaves to the features offered by a software package. Some of the most interesting software have come from tools developed by designers addressing a personal need and then developing a tool that could be used my many. Look at examples like Monolith developed by Andy Payne, recently acquired by Autodesk or HAL robotics; these have been architects deciding to do start-ups around the tools they developed for their personal use. I think that architecture firms with continue growing in this direction.
On the future of architecture in the next 5-10 years
As I mentioned, I think architecture will become more entrepreneurial. We will start getting rid of unsustainable models within the practice understanding that are unethical require or expect free labor and exploitative working hours. These practices were born out of a lack of value of design, where hundreds if not thousands of offices need to compete working for free to win a commission.
A younger generation of architects is already showing that there are alternative models for the practice and that you don't need to be connected or win a competition to start a studio. We will start seeing changes in the university curriculum, with more entrepreneurial support, encouraging young designers to develop their own architectural applications no longer going out of school expecting a job from a firm, but rather seeking self-commissions and investment to make an impact in the discipline.
On the future of Plethora-Project in the next 5-10 years
Plethora-Project has already been working in this domain and will continue exploring different formats to contribute to the field. Those might continue in the medium of games, but we will keep on experimenting with different alternatives. The relations with industry are always a possibility but it's central to have a level of autonomy to suggest creative applications that might be unexpected by industry partners.
On advice he would give his younger self
The most important piece of advice I have received is: 'It's not a sprint, it's a marathon'
I think this is the key once you are starting out, and trying to engage with large territories, it's all about persistence.

text: Code: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0977669/ In an apocalyptic future where the human race is poised on the brink of extinction and science has created the ultimate abomination of nature, a lone hunter gatherer realizes the essence of his being while fighting to survive. The year is 2015: the world's petroleum reserves have been depleted due to the oil wars, and the planet has fallen into a hopeless cycle of death and destruction. In an effort to remove the less desirable components of the human population, a powerful organization known only as The Corporation set into motion a heinous depopulation program. But The Corporation didn't expect their scientists to revolt, and in a desperate attempt to save the human race the disgruntled intellects created a drug that reverts normal humans into primitive, instinct-driven beasts known as Biosyns. Biosyns are virtually blind, relying almost entirely on scent and sound to stalk their prey. Max is a young man who lives by himself in the wilderness. Most of his days are spent eliminating as many Biosyns as possible, but lately he's been noticing something strange among the creature's ranks; not only are they beginning to communicate, but they're starting to travel in groups and their vision seems to be returning as well. The Corporations views Max's existence as a threat, and no they've dispatched a squad of genetically engineered soldiers known as Trackers to dispatch with him.

Marriage Hopes 'Dashed' for Gay Couples, but Not Reality Stars
Marriage-equality activists Danielle and Aisha Moodie-Mills are sounding off on Essence.com about the hypocrisy of this democracy as it relates to the institution of marriage.
The Mills family blasted the National Organization for Marriage for remaining silent about the marriage debacle of reality star Kim Kardashian and NBA player Chris Humphries. Kardashian filed for divorce on Monday, after only 72 days of marriage. The "marriage preservation" organization has failed to issue a statement about the spectacle/sham, although the organization is usually very loud when lambasting gay couples who are actually in loving, committed and long-term relationships and want to legally marry.
The couple writes:
One can't help but notice the dead silence from groups like the so-called National Organization for Marriage whose sole mission is to "preserve the sanctity of marriage" by blocking gays and lesbians from joining in it. Why aren't they outraged when these straight starlets stomp all over "traditional marriage" in their Louboutins? Surely this match-made-for-media-fodder erodes the sanctity of all that marriage is supposed to be. So why aren't they attacking Kim's right to get married the way they do ours?
The Mills family has hit the nail on the head: Reality stars like Kardashian and other high-profile celebrities like Britney Spears and Kenny Chesney who enter into marriage and exit out of it faster than the speed of light get a pass, while LGBT couples are berated and discriminated against simultaneously. Kardashian spent 72 days in a televised marriage, which is being played over and over again, and has earned no less than $18 million in the process. Now, that should be illegal.

This is a story about two girls, one of them a rebellious runaway who's trying to find her way through life, away from the comfort of family. The second a girl who's been institutionalised and controls everyone she sees. But fates change when these two girls meet; Breaking the rules and keeping their love a secret, all whilst harbouring a schizophrenic, they plan to change eachother's lives forever.
The wind blew cold outside; the trees were blowing wildly from side to side as their roots were forced away from their beloved soil.
It was a dull night and a garden that would usually be described as 'full of life', bright and cheerful was now becoming a mess of broken branches and tattered plants. Although the storm blew loud, the house on Amapple Street was silent. The young girl who lived there was as quiet as a mouse; her suitcase didn't dare reveal her by banging on the brown-carpeted stairs as she descended them. The house was deadly silent, but what else would you expect at three in the morning? The small, silver key was where it should be, lying innocently on the temperature control; parallel to the door although that wasn't her main concern at this moment in time; the suitcase was carefully and soundlessly placed in the shadows.
There was a half empty bag pack already sitting on the kitchen table, patiently awaiting her return, she rummaged through the cupboards as quietly as she could; the cold of the tins freezing her fingers but she knew she couldn't take anything else, abruptly and just as she had started to place the last tin in the bag her ears pricked up and she heard a foot place itself on the squeaky step that began a descent down the stairs. A hand was quickly placed to silence the gasping noise from a shivering mouth. A small boy of around 6 years old; with short brown hair and sleepy eyes; wandered into the room just as the door to the downstairs bathroom silently shut. The light wasn't on, he couldn't reach without his safety ladders and he was too tired to search for them. The hushed breathing noises were not heard although they sounded like a hurricane to the person making them. The light to the fridge came on and the buzzing it made got louder, a few glasses chinked but after a matter of moments it closed and the boy wandered back into the darkness.
The cowering girl in the small room waited a while before leaving the claustrophobic space. A sigh was let out at risk but it was needed. The cutlery drawer made quite a racket; even when opened cautiously so even though she was froze in fear, the tin opener was slowly lifted out and cushioned against a bag. When she had everything, the bag pack was lifted and flung onto her back and her feet set way for the hall. She reached into her pocket and pulled out a crumpled envelope that she proceeded to smoothen and swap with the key that glistened with innocence. Her eyes gazed over at the family portrait and a memory flashed back; they had spent hours getting everything prepared for this photo-shoot, it was worth all the money they'd spent on it. A middle aged woman was fumbling about with what looked like her husband-'s tie, she was doing it one handed because she had her recently born baby in the other arm. A lovely little girl was sat patiently in a long flowing dress (that she wouldn't stop wearing for the rest of a good few weeks) swinging her leg back and forth; the woman smiled at her and looked happy with how she was. The baby boy was passed to the little girl as the mother had given up trying one handed tie fixing and the gorgeous little boy pointed at her and said 'Danger' – his first word.'.
A kiss found its way to the glass of the photo and a tear appeared in a young girls eye, the girl in question had promised herself she wouldn't cry, where she was going she had to be strong, she couldn't be crying at every little thing or she would be taken advantage of, made fun of and not be taken seriously. The tear flitted away from her eyelashes as she glanced one last time at the crumpled piece of her that was left leaning against the wall, hovering on the temperature control, the letters written in her neatest writing that spelled out "Mom, Dad and Georgie x". The innocent key began to turn and the lock silently clicked open, an icy blast of air hit her straight in the face so she pulled up her hood, reached for her suitcase and tiptoed away from life, as she knew it...

The Park Avenue is a full-size sedan that was manufactured by the Buick division of General Motors from 1990 to 2005. The Park Avenue has a 6-cylinder 3.8-liter engine with sequential fuel injection. The oil pump of a late-model Buick Park Avenue is mounted to the engine under the front cover. The installation of the oil pump in this vehicle requires you to remove additional components to access the oil pump.
Things You'll Need
- Wooden plank
- Floor jack
- Socket wrench set
- Petroleum jelly
- Torque wrench
Place a wooden plank on a floor jack as a cushion and support the engine with the floor jack. Disconnect the cable from the battery's negative terminal with a socket wrench to prevent the engine from starting accidentally.
Rotate the tensioner counterclockwise to remove the drive belts. Disconnect the tensioner assembly from the engine with a socket wrench. Remove the pulley and bracket for the drive belt idler.
Remove the axis mount bracket with a socket wrench if this is necessary to access the front cover for the engine. Remove the front cover and disconnect the mounting bolts for the oil filter adapter. Disconnect the oil filter adapter assembly, including the spring and pressure regulator valve. Discard the gasket for the oil filter.
Disconnect the mounting screws for the cover of the oil pump with a socket wrench. Remove the inner and outer gears from the oil pump housing.
Coat the gears for the oil pump with petroleum jelly and insert them into the oil pump housing. Pack the remaining space in the housing with petroleum jelly.
Fasten the oil pump cover and tighten its mounting screws to 97 inch-pounds with a torque wrench. Install the oil filter adapter assembly with a new gasket and tighten its mounting bolts to 11 foot-pounds. Attach the front engine cover and the tensioner assembly with a socket wrench. Connect the pulley and bracket for the drive belt idler if you removed it earlier. Attach the drive belts and the torque axis mount bracket.
Connect the negative battery cable with a socket wrench. Lower the floor jack supporting the engine. Fill the engine oil to the proper level if necessary and start the engine. Check and fix any oil leaks.

|RE: Lucene as xml store
|Fri, 22 Jul 2005 08:37:03 GMT
Hey Erik, Thanks for the info. - Well, the application I want to develop is more like storing xml files and with each of them having different structure. And then performing search on them that in turn can depend on the structure of the xml doc and user's requirement. - Moreover, I did not exactly understood as to how I can store the xml document. I mean, I went through the java doc and couldnot figure out the api's that could be used for this purpose. Can you guide me in this? - But the biggest question is: Is Lucene a good option [which now I doubt on the basis of what I have read till now :-(] Regards, Namrata -----Original Message----- From: Erik Hatcher [mailto:email@example.com] Sent: Friday, July 22, 2005 2:11 PM To: firstname.lastname@example.com Subject: Re: Lucene as xml store On Jul 22, 2005, at 1:07 AM, Namrata Kumari wrote: > > hi, > > I am a beginner to lucene , So kindly excuse me if the questions > mentioned a bit naive. > - Can I use lucene as an xml store + search engine? > - What I understood is that if we want to perform search on xml doc. > we need to parse xml document, form indexes and on the basis of fields > perform search. > - So, does this mean, that even if we use lucene as xml store (IF WE > CAN!!), we need to parse it to form indexes? Lucene is a search engine and only deals with text (Strings essentially). Lucene is also a flat document space and doing queries for things hierarchical is not how it was designed, but it can be done to a limited degree depending on how data is indexed. Yes, Lucene can store text as well as make it searchable - so you could store an XML document in it as well. You have not provided any information on the types of queries you need to support or what the user experience will be like. There are many ways to use Lucene and whether it is suitable solution to your application depends on that information. Tell us more about what you're wanting to do and we can guide you further. > Please reply to this as soon as possible That's what they all say! :) No need to say such a thing - if you have well articulated questions that are straightforward enough to answer, you'll get responses quickly here.

Q&A: Can acupuncture help with major depression disorder?
posted on 5/21/2015
Ask A Doctor Question:
Can acupuncture help with someone who has been diagnosed with major depression disorder ?
Acupuncture can certainly be very helpful for all sorts of depression and anxiety disorders. However, I do not recommend that acupuncture be your sole means of treatment for major depressive disorder. It is important that you also be seeing a psychiatrist and/or counselor that you trust and are comfortable with. Acupuncture can enhance the effectiveness of any other therapy that you are doing, and help to control any uncomfortable side effects.
--Dawn Balusik, AP, DOM, LMT
Clearwater, FL
Acupunction can balance your meridians and if you depression is stemming from this imbalance then acupuncture would help resolve the issue.
--Tom Latrielle, DC
Fort Lauderdale, FL
yes. But continue the medications patient has.
