Critical Praise
- Bryce Milligan's Take to the Highway is a book of big heart, big mind, and a big eight-cylinder engine, bringing poems — especially the stretched out prose poems — of distinction and evocative power.
— Jane Hirshfield, author of The Beauty and Ten Windows
- Milligan is a poet's poet. Wisdom becomes song as language becomes movement and desire becomes drive in these well-crafted poems. These meditations move us to where past and future fuse: in a father's tools tied with a knot a son may never pull again, or a mother's loss of her child's name. Take to the Highway dares to answer the question, "Who are you again?"
— Lorna Dee Cervantes, author of Drive: The First Quartet
- Streaming with wisdom and clear mind, Milligan unfolds muraled passages of consciousness come "asunder with some wild desire." In this shifting play of perception, memory, fast long-line and prose fevers, we are given the "Hallelujah" of envisioning, which is the diamond-eyed gift of this superb collection. Tour de force, necessary materials for the the road ahead in these times.
— Juan Felipe Herrera, Poet Laureate of the United States
Take to the Highway is indeed about highways, but more crucially it's about journeys, and about the intricate memory map of human consciousness. It's a great pleasure to follow Bryce Milligan along side roads, detours, switchbacks, and eerily beckoning paths; and to encounter at the end a design, a destination, a questing mind at peace.
— Stephen Harrigan, author of The Gates of the Alamo
- Take to the Highway is Milligan's periplum of discovery. The central prose poems are as fine a unified collection as Follain's A World Rich in Anniversaries. These "arabesques" form a complex poetic autobiography wherein the external world dissolves into the scrim of interior landscape, where the confining effect of traveling alone through the dark modulates into a compulsive, oft hypnotic defining medium in a journey that can go on and on for as long as time and memory, until one must "step again into the storm."
— David Lee, Poet Laureate of Utah, 1997-2002; Pulitzer Prize finalist, author of Last Call

Reviewed by Margaret Randall
At the close of Bryce Milligan's beautiful new collection of poems, Take to the Highway: Arabesques for Travelers, the poet has appended "A Note on Method (if not craft)." He admits to having written the initial drafts of both poems and songs over the past 45 years while driving: "in a car, generally alone, almost always on smaller highways with limited traffic." He advises younger poets against the practice but says he seems to have mastered it. A board, anchored at elbow-level serves as a writing desk. He writes on yellow pads, generally without looking. The poems in this book, he tells us, "were all composed between August 2012 and June 2015 on Texas Highway 281, mainly between Blanco and Hico." His mother was "dying and reviving" during this time, so he made the trip often. In this age of texting and twittering, a handwritten scrawl on yellow pads seems almost old-fashioned, certainly iconoclastic. And in fact we do have here before us the work of a man who who embodies the best of traditional knowledge with a cutting edge ability to see and a poetic sensibility.
Milligan is a master editor, book designer, publisher, cultural promoter and poet. This new volume powerfully attests to the latter. By way of disclaimer, I should say I have published with Wings, the excellent independent house he runs almost single-handedly out of San Antonio, Texas. But by way of truth, I will begin by this note about his most recent book by reiterating what I have said often and in many different circumstances: I respect poetry far too much to bend my opinion for friendship or any extra-literary consideration. From the moment one holds Take to the Highway in hand, the haunting cover photo of a lonely Texas road at dusk feels like an invitation to read. It was taken by the author, and I can imagine his instant recognition that, with its low hanging clouds and diminishing perspective, it would be the perfect pathway to these poems.
Opening the book, we are not disappointed. Part I, "Elevation's the New Salvation," introduces us to Milligans unique voice. Poems such as "Prelude for Siduri," "One More Brief Encounter," "Earth-bound," and "Southeast of the Center of Everything" are among the many that create language images that brought me up short and made me want to go back to these gems again and again. Lines such as "Words prance across / the blinding windshield / like appaloosa ponies / headed from their dim / night-shadowed canyons / onto the sage plain // the cadence rising — words, words like hoofbeats" ( p 3) demonstrate the poet's deep knowledge of his landscape and unique way of putting us there. His well-honed craft is evident but unpretentious in the telling.
The book's second section, "Take to the Highway (Prose poems written at speed)," continues and makes even more explicit Milligan's sources of inspiration. Here we find the grouping of prose poems. These pieces, what we once called prosody, are among the collection's strongest texts. I will be surprised if "The Fiftieth Face" doesn't find its way into many forthcoming anthologies. "Strings," "Eós and the Train Horns," "Leaning Into the Learning Curve," "Freedom's Just Another Word" and "A Desert Mountain Love Song" also sing. But then they all do. This is a book from which it is particularly difficult to pick and choose.
In the prose poems I literally felt as if I was riding along with the poet, taking into my body the sounds, sights, and feel of his translated travel.
In the third section, "All That Would Be," we find once again poems that are more conventional in form. But they are anything but conventional in spirit. "Rekindling" begins: "And so we departed / from the season / of that haloed moon / with our child-like wonder / intact, frozen / like the crystals that caught / and shattered that light." (p 54) "The Watch" and "Anything More" deal directly with the poet's mother in her process of dying, and are among the most moving in the book. But this is not a collection in which there is a noticeable difference in quality among the works included; all maintain the high level and startling originality we have come to expect from Milligan.
Juan Felipe Herrera, Poet Laureate of the United States, writes of this book: "Streaming with wisdom and clear mind, Milligan unfolds muraled passages of consciousness come 'asunder with some wild desire.' In this shifting play of perception, memory, fast long-line and prose fevers, we are given the 'Hallelujah' of envisioning, which is the diamond-eyed gift of this superb collection [...] necessary materials for the road ahead in these times." I agree.

Milligan's New Poems Dazzle ... "extraordinary"Huffington PostOct. 14, 2016

"There are circles you remember and circles you forget," begins a prose poem in Bryce Milligan's extraordinary new collection, Take to the Highway: Arabesques for Travelers (West End Press), setting out "patterns beneath patterns" in a lyrical tour de force across interior and exterior landscapes.
Interlacing short poems, "winding through the hills / an old and cherished habit," with moving and complex prose poems that lean "as Vergil leans against the mast intoning, 'the only road I could have taken was the road I took,'" Milligan serves as a beguiling witness to a world of time-bends and timeless revelations on his own imaginary map: "no one to see you weep with the realization that not even your poetry could protect you from your desire for this freedom."
Author of numerous works of poetry, fiction and theatre, a legendary editor and publisher in Texas, Milligan is a literary master, a linguist and luthier of ancient languages and songs, whose new work places him and his Texas landscape in the front ranks of our nation's most respected literary figures. Take to the Highway: Arabesques for Travelers travels multiple paths with a dazzling, earthy and original ferocity, brilliantly crafted and vast in range.
Divided into three sections, Take to the Highway covers a lot of ground, both real along the highways in Texas and imagined, personal and accidental, though never unflinching in its observations "across the tangled landscape," where "only the path told how / this land had been loved." Beyond Milligan's Texas range, he travels to Greenland, where "newly calved, the shards of ancient glaciers / ride toward deeper waters, darker waters," in an exploration of "this riot of life."
In "Earth-bound," Milligan sizes up the view, chronicling the environmental and human ruin, forever entangled in the presence of memory:
They're ripping out the rusted rails: the gravel track-bed snakes away ribbed with troughs of absent ties that catch the stormy night's remains to burn as mirrored rungs at dawn as if Jacob's ladder had come asunder with some wild desire and fallen blessed with angel's fire.
The second section, "prose poems written at speed," riveting in pace, whimsical at times, and "fugue sans fin," scurries across the "perpetual mysteries" of his childhood, the "tiny stage" of adolescence, and the unanswered questions of family, the loss of his mother, the travails of his father, that endure "like Persephone's story, as good on one spinning planet as on any other."
In "A Desert Mountain Love Song," Milligan writes:
You knew the place for what it was the first and only time you saw it — below the tree-line stand of aspen on the summit of Mt. Livermore, where from a den of red-skinned madrones a clear eight-mile sight line across the valley of the Limpia (dry for decades but a chirping little stream in your earliest memories) revealed the gleaming twin domes, now a trio, atop Mt. Locke — a place you knew no one but a lost coyote would ever find you so you put an "x" on a map and took the coordinates so that years later, which is to say yesterday, you could send postcards to your daughter and your son on opposite ends of the country saying simply "Look here when you have to. All my love."
"Some social join, and leagues combine," Scottish bard Robert Burns once wrote. "Some solitary wander."
With his powerful new collection of poems, Milligan reminds us that both lives are possible, and inevitable, and full of wonder, in "arabesques for travelers" on any highway.

Prose poems the highlight of Milligan's Take to the Highway>>San Antonio Express-NewsOct. 9, 2016
Reviewed by Robert Bonazzi
San Antonio writer and publisher Bryce Milligan's new book travels far beyond the highway in form and content, including two sections of poems with a middle portion of prose poems. The earlier poems lull one into beautifully evoked landscapes that subtly reveal the crude effects of man's pollution upon nature. The sharp turn comes in "The Green Man Returns to Greenland" as "shards of ancient glaciers/ride toward deeper waters, darker waters,/ beginning to melt even as the sea/surrounds them, lapping fresh water wounds/with salty tongues that cannot staunch/the molecular awakening."
Poems in the third part are personal — several dedicated to a dying mother, to his wife and two adult children.
Milligan certainly knows how to write both free verse and formal poems, including carefully crafted, stately sonnets and villanelles. "Thus we do conclude," leads to the elegiac ending: "Chance carried us/so far. The trembling/begins in the empty mirror."
But the innovative heart of Take to the Highway beats loudly in Milligan's inspired prose poems. Even more personal than the final poems, they deliver a startling sense of a modern memoir.
Prose poetry began in France with Baudelaire over 150 years ago, and during the past 50 years, poets have written it into the Jungian reaches of the unconscious. The prose poem remains paradoxical, holding a stake in both traditions — avoiding line breaks and formalism, but matching poetry's intensity — often shaping illogical wit and dreamscapes into prose.
"Advent's End" paints a powerful picture of Milligan's father being pulled over for speeding toward his own father's death bed, which the poet dreams awake as he himself drives through a freezing night to visit his own dying mother, arriving "reluctant to leave because to quit the car is to quit the dream and to step again into the storm."
Consciousness dreams unconscious connections of dying parents in "Strings" — calling out "good grief, Daddy, another tool box full of memories sharp as shrapnel that perforates the insulating years...." Thirty years later, it is his mother's "chest of drawers you are emptying and sorting," and her "voice asking over and over, now who are you?" The second person is used throughout the prose poems.
Who Milligan becomes has roots in "Four-Stroke" — one breathless sentence stretching beyond two pages, a master stroke of art and grammar — covering years of building a mini-bike [engine] under his father's tutelage, which would not start between the third and fifth grades "until the magic of mechanics worked and the engine roared and you danced a private jig in the twilight of the garage to the rhythm the engine puttered ..."
Later, he is "startled to find that you were as in love with that 3.5 horsepower, four-stroke Briggs & Stratton engine as you ever were with the girl with the Picasso pony tail who sat in the desk in front of you the day Kennedy died ..."
"Eos and the Train Horns" opens with a consideration of subjective memory, "tangled in its tellings, fractured into multiple perspectives, more than one of which could have been yours, so you remain unsure of exactly how far away the red and yellow Santa Fe Chief locomotive was when your grandfather yanked you off the tracks...." Yet "you remember specifically placing two buffalo nickels on the hot iron track, to be flattened..."
Two teenage memories follow, then "Fugue sans fin" repeats in its three parts that "There are circles you remember and circles you forget. These are the same circles."
The prose poems end with "A Desert Mountain Love Song," which predicts a fictional way of dying in the wilderness, watching the dome open at McDonald Observatory.
Bryce Milligan's ventures into prose poetry are the highlight of his seventh collection of poetry.

Highways and the River by 'an absolute master of metaphor and simile'McAllen MonitorAugust 26, 2016
Special to the [McAllen Monitor]
Reviewed by David Bowles
With the dog days of summer behind us, I can finally lean back in the (relatively) cooler temperatures and enjoy some poetry. I've got two recommendations for you this week.
Apropos of this last week of vacation comes the latest from one of our state's finest bards, Bryce Milligan. In Take to the Highway: Arabesques for Travelers (West End Press), Milligan crafts sturdy, beautiful verse and prose poems so smoothly lathed and joined that they seem to tumble organic and self-made into our minds. He acknowledges the cost of such skill in "Necessary Work," as every creative endeavor that "needed / doing" has taken "a bit of the music / out of his hands." But from the playful warnings of the first section ("Elevation is the New Salvation") to the breathless intimacy of the second ("Take to the Highway") and the aching melancholy of the third ("All That Would Be"), Milligan proves his gouged fingers capable of mighty music indeed.
As the title suggests, travel connects these poems, both the physical crisscrossing of our world and that ever-spiraling movement into the future. Along the way, Milligan points out sights that wonder, delight and terrify: the well-worn path that leads to an unmarked clearing; houses on stilts above the chaparral as the sea begins to rise; a sleeping volcano stripped of trees by men; a bereft widower waiting to join his beloved atop Mt. Locke.
In both his short, economical poems and longer, more fluid prose pieces, Milligan is an absolute master of metaphor and simile. In "Earth-bound," a torn up railroad reflects the dawn "as if Jacob's ladder had come / asunder with some wild desire / and fallen blessed with angel's fire." In "The Green Man Returns to Greenland," "[n]ewly calved, the shards of ancient glaciers / ride toward deeper waters." In Mere Physics," aging is delightfully transformed as "October / ripens blotched with orange." Every page delights with some startling image that will stay with you for hours or days.
It's worth it to ride shotgun with Bryce Milligan. He knows all the shortcuts past the brambles of life to those evanescent glimmers of bittersweet illumination. Let him take you on a trip.

Energetic, accessible and rich with driving rhythmsDallas Morning NewsAugust 11, 2016Prolific San Antonio writer and poet Bryce Milligan's latest collection of poems and prose poems is energetic, accessible and rich with driving rhythms. The lines and verses generally flow from Texas to points west, but, in doing so, they also cross many borders within the soul and mind. In one poem, Milligan writes: "Today I take to the highway knowing/that this time no home waits ahead."
Sure-handed verse in multiple registersKIRKUSMay 2016
Reviewed in [KIRKUS]
In a new collection "for travelers," Milligan sometimes races and sometimes tools along; no matter the speed, it's a pleasing ride.
In a recent interview, former Globe Theatre director Mark Rylance argued that much of Shakespeare's brilliance is his control of the demotic, his acknowledgment that the real power of poetry may not lie in the words only he can say but in the words we all can say. Veteran poet Milligan (Lost and Certain of It, 2006, etc.) understands this concept, as well, and his latest book is a rushing river that spins and eddies around a few well-placed stones of utterly common speech. "Strings," a sort of elegy for lost parents, opens with the exhausted "good grief, Daddy," and slips away with the simple refrain of a woman whose mind has abandoned her: "now, who are you?"
Around such vernacular anchors, Milligan builds a poetic structure characterized by balance (the "arabesque" of the title is a ballet pose demanding poise). The poet divides his book into three parts; the first and third feature relatively short stanzas and clipped lines while the second is full of longer prose poems "written at speed."
Most poets work well in one mode, either economy or abandon. Milligan can do both with grace. "Waiting for the Tow" is a study in brevity that teeters but never quite falls into the gnomic; it opens, provocatively, "The day is severed: / planned from unplanned, / necessary from / necessary now." By contrast, "Four-Stroke," a longer piece from the middle section, spreads out: "If ever you spent much quality time on the hurricane deck of a trusted motorcycle then had to give it up — trading it in, say, for a station wagon to haul around your rock band or maybe pay a tuition bill or buy an engagement ring — then you'll recognize the symptoms of the syndrome." That no word is wasted in either type of poem demonstrates the poets experience.
Sure-handed verse work in multiple registers.
A Texan's poetry and poetry about TexasBig Bend SentinelJuly 28, 2016
Reviewed by Lonn Taylor in his ["Rambling Boy"] column in the Big Bend Sentinel
I don't write much about poetry because my taste in poems is, well, old-fashioned is a nicer word than retrograde. I am pretty firmly fixed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries: Gerard Manley Hopkins, William Butler Yeats, A.E. Houseman. I like "The Charge of the Light Brigade." I am dangerously close to the "Don't Rhyme, Ain't Poetry" school of thought. When I was first courting my wife Dedie, I told her one evening I was going to read her my favorite poem, which at that time was Yeats's "An Irish Airman Foresees His Death" — "My country is Kiltartan Cross / My countrymen Kiltartan's poor / No likely end could bring them loss / Or leave them happier than before." When I finished she gave me a long look and asked, "That's your favorite poem?" and I thought our relationship had just gone out the window, but she married me anyway.
I mention this because this week's column is about two books of Texas poetry that have recently come my way, Bryce Milligan's, Take to the Highway: Arabesques for Travelers, recently published by the West End Press in Albuquerque, New Mexico and Albert Goldbarth's Different Fleshes, published by Hobart and William Smith Colleges Press in Geneva, New York. Milligan's work is Texas poetry because he is a Texan; Goldbarth's because his subject was a Texan.
Bryce Milligan is the closest thing to a Renaissance man that Texas has produced in a long time. Born in Dallas, he now lives in San Antonio, where, as a columnist for the San Antonio Express-News put it, "he either is or has been a novelist, essayist, short-story writer, poet, folk singer, song writer, musician, instrument maker, carpenter, rare book bibliographer and appraiser, college English and creative-writing instructor, arts administrator, book and magazine publisher, book designer, and newspaper columnist." His full-time job for the past 21 years has been running Wings Press, one of America's leading small presses, founded in Houston in 1975 by Joseph Lomax and Joanie Whitebird, two free spirits. The press takes its name from its original logo, which showed an old-fashioned clamshell printing press that has sprouted wings. Milligan purchased the business from Whitebird in 1995 and moved it to San Antonio, where he has specialized in publishing poetry by new authors, many of them Latino and Latina. He refers to Wings as a "discovery press". It has published the first books of many authors who have moved on to bigger publishing houses.
At the same time, Milligan has continued to write and publish his own poems. Take to the Highway is his eighth collection since 1984. It consists of 44 poems and 11 "prose poems," which he describes as "written at speed," a phrase that becomes terrifyingly clear at the end of the book, when he reveals that he writes while driving, using a yellow legal pad on a board anchored at elbow level. He reassuringly adds that he has learned to write without looking at the paper. "The prose poems in Take to the Highway," he says, "were all composed ... on Texas Highway 281, mainly between Blanco and Hico, Texas."
The prose poems are my favorite part of the book, especially the one entitled "Leaning Into the Learning Curve," in which Milligan explains that as a teenaged Dallas folksinger he felt he had no right to sing lonesome whistle songs like "Freight Train" until he had hoboed somewhere, so he climbed into a boxcar in the MKT yards and climbed out four days later in Wichita, Kansas. He called his father, who, he writes, "smiles on the phone and wires fifty bucks to come home in style on the Texas Chief."
The poems show a special talent for observation. I especially liked "Beneath the Bridge," about homeless men who "wear their faded, frayed fatigues as if merely place had changed," who "weep with joy at the weather 'copter" and "cringe at any sudden sound or shift from light to shadow."
I do not really know anything about Albert Goldbarth beyond what Wikipedia says about him, which is that he was born in Chicago in 1948, teaches at Wichita State University, and has published 30 collections of poetry and essays. I read Different Fleshes, which the title page describes as "a novel/poem" because Kip Stratton and I were corresponding about Sam Bass's grave in the Round Rock, Texas cemetery and I mentioned that the transvestite trapeze artist, Barbette, who was born in Round Rock, is also buried in that cemetery. Kip responded, "I thought every small rural cemetery in Central Texas had a transvestite trapeze artist buried in it," and then went on to tell me about Goldbarth's poem about Barbette.
Barbette, whose real name was Vander Clyde, was born in Round Rock in 1904. When he was a child his mother took him to Austin to see a circus, and he started practicing wire walking on clotheslines. He left home at 14 and joined a circus in San Antonio as part of a trapeze act, and soon developed a wire-walking act wearing a wig and a ball gown, which he took off on the wire to reveal himself as a man in tights. He was the sensation of the Cirque Medrano in Paris in the 1920s and was a friend of Jean Coqteau, Man Ray, and Janet Flanner. Clyde retired in 1938 after a bout with pneumonia and died in Round Rock in 1973.
Goldbarth's poem, published in 1979, traces a network of real and imagined connections between Vander Clyde, Sam Bass, Ernest Hemingway, James Joyce, Gertrude Stein, the photographer Brassai, and, above all, Paris in the 1920s. It is an astonishing book, conjuring up a childhood in Round Rock and a transvestite manhood in Paris. Here is Goldbarth on Vander Clyde in Round Rock: "He was seven, he was Vander Clyde, and what do you do when your heart that you'll have to bring with always, the pump of you, is Round Rock?" Here he is on Vander Clyde in Paris: "If the Princess Violet Murat extended an invitation her country home, the waiter serving ice and cognac, the self-indulgent chat of theatre directors, newspaper owners, women in jewels oh boar's heads draped in a freezer-room's crystals, if he was witty with Texas effusiveness, if they tittered, if the gentleman would care for another cognac? / the Princess sniffing cocaine / he traveled in style with twenty eight trunks / and a maid "and a maid / to assist the maid."
And it doesn't even rhyme.

Man Declared Legally Dead In 1992 Resurfaces Claiming He Had Amnesia [Photo]
Sounds crazy right??? But its very true! California Man, who disappeared in 1992, and was LEGALLY pronounced dead in 2000, resurfaces claiming he had 'amnesia'. NY Daily News reports; A California man has three words for a New York judge who he says prematurely declared his demise: I'm not dead. Kwame Seku of San Diego says he is the former Winston Bright, a Verizon worker and married father of three missing for two decades and deemed deceased by a judge in 2000.
"My name is no longer Winston Bright. It is Kwame Seku," the 65-year-old former East Village resident wrote in a letter this month to a Manhattan Surrogate's Court judge. "And I am the same person." He claims in court papers a DNA test he took in New York with his mother, Mary Bright, in December proves he is her very much alive son — and that he is entitled to Verizon benefits because he worked for the company for 20 years.
Verizon officials said they will follow the court order ruling Seku dead and continue paying survivor benefits to his wife, Leslie Bright. Bright, left with the kids, no money and too many questions all those years ago, promises to fight her husband. She went to Surrogate's Court in 2000 seeking a judge's ruling that Winston Bright was dead. That was eight years after Seku first showed up on public records in California.
Seku claims he has had amnesia for 20 years and adopted his new name while wandering the streets of California.
The amnesia story doesn't fly with Bright, who says Seku just left home one day in 1992 and never returned. "He kissed me on the cheek, called me at lunchtime like he always did and again when he was on his way home," she told the Daily News. "He never made it."
Seku went to California and reinvented himself with an African name he picked out of a magazine because he liked the way it sounded. He earned a master's degree, taught public school and worked with troubled boys, like he always wanted. But while Seku was living the dream, his family was falling apart. They lost their Stuyvesant Town apartment and moved into a public housing project.

The attack, which comes after a brief period of calm down under in terms of racial attacks, took place at around 6.40 am when the man was walking to Sandown Park railway station.
Four teenage males, three with baseball bats, on bikes approached him, police said.
Quoting Police official, Jo Hayden, Dandenong Leader reported that one of the assailants asked the man, "Buddy, are you Indian?"
The man was later hit from behind, fell and was kicked while lying on the ground. He was reportedly bruised in the attack besides sustaining a big cut on his nose.
The victim was taken home by two passers-by, the official informed, adding that the man has identified his assailants as being about 15 to 16 years of age.
Expressing shock that the attack took place in the eastern suburb, which is considered multicultural, Federation of Indian Association of Victoria (FIAV) president Vasan Srinivasan appealed to the youngsters to respect each other so that all can live in harmony and peace.
Hayden also told the newspaper that another Indian was attacked last Tuesday, Sep 21 night, but refused to give any details.

I opened my eyes to find myself crying I wiped my tears away with my sleeve. I
don't like letting people see me cry. I hate the pity I get the whole
"what happened" when behind my back they say "she deserved it
that stupid bitch," I couldn't help laughing at myself. "Can't even
swear in my own mind." I muttered to myself. I sighed and pet Nakida, if I
didn't know any better I would have thought she was crying with me. "Come
on dork let's go home- back to Matt's house and get you a treat," I felt
thankful that my eyes don't turn red when I cry. The only person who notices
that I cry is Matt. As I passed my house I said, "what the, hey Nakida
wanna go for a run," she wagged her tail and gave me a puppy smile even
though she's almost 6 years old. I unhooked her leash and sprinted towards the
woods, my woods. Since my dad died technically I owned everything up to the
river. My dad told me to never cross it because there were wolves. When I was
around 12, I saw a young wolf a little bigger than a bagel on the other side of
the river with beautiful unusual markings that wrapped around its face and
eyes. It growled at me so I stayed there watching this beautiful, but dangerous
creature. It dared me to move so I just sat down. The wolf got confused and
lowered its hackles and stared at each other for the longest time. After a
while I gathered my courage and stood up and walked to the river and sat on the
bank, the wolf curiously did the same. I stretched out my hand, willing for the
wolf to come closer. The wolf looked at my hand snorted and ran back into the
woods. After running for a while and walking back we headed for Matt's house.
Before I opened the door I was tackled to the ground. "Where in the hell
were you? I was worried sick, why didn't you leave a note! I thought... I
thought." Matt yelled. "What?" I said while getting up. Matt was
possibly the hottest guy you'll ever meet. He had a cute boy smile, his hair
was a light shade of blond and hazel eyes with fleck of silver in them. We're
both in 10th grade but we live in his parents 2nd house. Don't ask me why they
have 2 houses they just do. AND HE IS JUST A FRIEND. I would NEVER EVER, EVER
have feelings for him. "I thought you tried to kill yourself."
"WHAT, I am not going anywhere. You'll miss me too much." I said and
stuck my tongue out. He hugged me so fast I didn't see him. "Stop using
your vamp speed." He started to stroke my head and said "Shhhhh.
Shhhhh it's okay for you to cry." I started to cry. "God I hate your
mind reading." "Come on you know you love it." I found out Matt
was a vampire in 6th grade when he looked weird during gym. He looked...
starved or like an animal so I told the teacher I needed to go to the nurses
office and he said to take someone with me. I grabbed Matt, he flinched and looked
at me. I dragged him through the hall until we got out of sight of the gym and
went outside. "Are you ok? What happened?" He just looked at me again
with this look I've never seen on him before and grabbed my hand in a steel
like grip.

Excentive Announces Successful deployment of Its Total Compensation Management Solution at Stryker
Leading compensation systems provider Excentive announced that it has successfully deployed its Total Compensation Management software solution at Stryker EMEA, reflecting the success of both its innovative technology and its globalization strategy.
Stryker EMEA decided to start the execution of this Total Compensation Management vision with its salary review process, before extending to other aspects of compensation such as bonus and commissions. The Human Resources group at Stryker wanted to empower the business managers by bringing salary review back to what it was meant to be: an efficient management tool, operated first-hand by the managers themselves. "One of our goals clearly was to transform administrative tasks into strategic actions that have a measurable impact on the business," says Bertrand Flueck, HR Practices Director at Stryker.
Stryker EMEA defined and implemented one single unified process, sophisticated enough to satisfy the various requirements from all countries, divisions and functions, but simple enough so that it can be completed easily and quickly by each manager. With that unified and standardized global process, well-accepted by all managers, Stryker claims a strong return on investment as demonstrated by a review process that closed 65 days faster than in the past, and with better control over financials and quality.
Flueck explains that Stryker EMEA chose the Excentive solution because of its flexibility to address all of their requirements, its ease of use, its capability to integrate with Oracle applications, and its speed of deployment. Indeed, Excentive was rolled out to its final business users less than 2 months after the selection.
"We are very happy to welcome Stryker EMEA to our growing list of customers. It is further evidence of the successful execution of our globalization strategy initiated last year," concludes Fabio Ronga, CEO of Excentive International. Excentive'

Lil' Scrappy Accuses Nickelodeon Suites Resort Of Racism [Video]
While Lil' Scrappy is back in the headlines for calling out yet another company on it's "racist" practice.
The Love & Hip Hop Atlanta star was captured confronting a Nickelodeon Suites Resort employee in Orlando after she allegedly passed over his daughter, Emani, during a show.
According to Momma D the "Prince" became upset because the staff kept skipping over his daughter and other black kids. In the video you can here Scrappy telling the host "You need to pick my daughter. This is some racist-ass s**t."
TMZ also reports that the person shooting the video AGREED with Scrappy!
A rep for the resort reached out to TMZ telling then that they don't discriminate on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. Then adding that participants must follow specific protocol … and that Scrappy's daughter did participate in the show.
Well if she did in fact participate in the show I highly doubt Lil' Scrappy would of flipped out.
check out the video below.

TORONTO -- Five weeks after bottoming out at 15 games below .500, the Oakland Athletics are back at the break-even mark.
Bobby Crosby hit an inside the park home run, and Scott Hatteberg hit a two-run single in the 11th inning to lead Oakland to a 10-7 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays on Tuesday night.
The A's have won 10 of 11 to move back to .500 (41-41) for the first time since May 2. Oakland has gone 24-9 since it was 15 games below .500 on May 29.
"That's a tremendous climb, a tremendous climb," Oakland manager Ken Macha said. "I credit those guys out there. They are absolutely going for it every night, fever pitched."
Nick Swisher, Mark Kotsay and Dan Johnson also homered for the A's.
Justin Duchscherer (4-1) worked two innings and earned the victory.
"We have that winning attitude, and it's back," Swisher said. "In the month of May when we were struggling, it was really frustrating. Now, we're back to our old ways and having fun."
Kotsay and Crosby led off the 11th with singles off Miguel Batista (4-1) before Eric Chavez hit a long single off the left-field wall. Kotsay and Crosby didn't advance too far, fearing left fielder Gabe Gross would make the catch.
Hatteberg followed with a single to right that scored two, and two batters later, Swisher hit an RBI double to make it 10-7.
"It seemed like whoever was going to hit last was going to win," Swisher said.
Kotsay, Oakland's center fielder, made a spectacular play in the bottom of the 11th when he faked as if he was going to catch Gross' blooper before letting it drop. He then flipped the ball from his glove to his hand and forced out Russ Adams at second.
"That's one of the best plays I've ever seen," Macha said. "What a play. And clutch. It could have been first and second and nobody out. That's why people who don't see this guy everyday don't appreciate what he does. That won the ball game."
The A's had a chance to close out the win in the bottom of the ninth. But second baseman Marco Scutaro failed to turn a potential game-ending double play when his throw to first sailed into the stands and allowed Adams to score the tying run.
Crosby's first career inside the park homer gave Oakland a 5-3 lead in the sixth. Crosby's ball hit off the center-field wall before deflecting off Vernon Wells, who crashed into the wall and fell to the turf. The ball trickled about 10 feet away, far enough for Crosby to race around the bases for the two-run homer.
"I was definitely out of gas. I was hurting for the next couple of innings," Crosby said.
Toronto's Eric Hinske cut the deficit to 5-4 with an RBI grounder in the bottom half of the sixth. Orlando Hudson homered in the seventh to tie it at 5-all. Hudson grabbed his right hamstring while running toward second base and left the game after hobbling home.
Hudson's homer barely cleared the wall in center, and he was running full speed when he pulled up. The team said he had tightness in his hamstring and will be reevaluated Wednesday.
"I don't think we can evaluate it now," Toronto manager John Gibbons said. "We need to wait for the body to cool off."
Swisher gave Oakland a 6-5 lead with his homer off Vinnie Chulk in the eighth. Kotsay also homered off Chulk in the inning, giving Oakland a 7-5 lead.
Toronto's Gregg Zaun homered off Kiko Calero in the bottom half of the inning.
Reed Johnson's two-run triple in the second gave Toronto a 2-0 lead. Oakland scored three runs in the fourth on Johnson's solo homer and Crosby's two-run single.
Adams tied it with a sacrifice fly in the fifth before Crosby hit his two-run homer in the sixth.
Oakland starter Dan Haren allowed four runs on eight hits in six innings in a no decision. It was just the second time in his last 10 starts that Haren allowed more than three runs.
- Macha has ordered his players not to show up before 4 p.m. ET for Wednesday's 7 p.m. game. Macha said his team always struggles in the second game of an East Coast trip, so he wants them well rested. There is a $450 fine for an early arrival.
- Terrence Long was the last A's player to hit an inside the park home run, on May 9, 2003, against the New York Yankees.

The full change of the name of the installation directory or application name is planned for future release because it requires more careful work to not break something. Both names are correct and I see no problem here for now. We decided to change some visible places (intro image, about box, some others) to reflect the new home and the slightly adapted name. And we also agreed to talk officially about Apache OpenOffice from now on. But as we have discussed it in detail, many users talk about OpenOffice only so it doesn't matter yet. If you have a problem with this approach you should start a new thread explaining it in detail that we can understand it. Juergen

Our big announcement on the Trump-Russia scandal.
Nov. 29, 2007 4:16 PM
Good Magazine has found a way to neatly wrap up the absurdity of funeral costs into a great little YouTube video. Really. I recommend you watch minus the sound. There is something somewhat creepy about death stats accompanied by music. The figures on the other hand are informative and fairly astonishing. I mean, it's definitely not news that the funeral industry is a boon to certain markets. There's cosmetics, casketry (I'm sure that's not a word), and of course real estate. The average funeral costs $6,500 in the U.S. No wonder I vaguely remember hearing relatives complaining about money at, well, all the funerals for each of my grandparents. And that cost doesn't even include the plot of land for burial. But don't despair: While apartment hunting, you can pick up a burial plot for $1,000 on Craigslist. We happen to not be the most out of control funeral industry. An average funeral in Japan costs $45,000, which is why nearly 98 percent of its citizens opt for cremation.
Good also reminds us that death can be bad for the environment. Cremation adds to global warming and the formaldehyde leached into the ground water from burials is not so great for Mother Earth either. There are other options though. You could be buried in a forest or in an eco-friendly cardboard coffin (like the Aussies), have your ash turned into 250 pencils (like the Japanese), or if cost is not your issue, spend $12,500 and be left on the moon.

If you're one of the skeptics that Ron Paul supporters are for reals, you probably won't believe that they're about to launch a Ron Paul blimp. Oh, but they are. There's a posting on Daily Paul, and YouTube videos (one set to Electric Light Orchestra), and a website, which has generated nearly $500K in pledges so far—not to mention spoof videos (one set to Journey).
Get ready to see the blimp at the Super Bowl, and to accept once and for all that Ron Paulites are an incredibly devoted bunch who may be capable of doing pretty much any wild thing they put their mind to.

If you felt powerless to help Burma in its struggle for democracy during the country's recent, but so far resultless, protests, well, your panties may help. The Lanna Action for Burma Committee is asking women of all nations to contribute their undergarments to its Panty Power Campaign, which aims to let the generals of the ruling junta know that people around the world don't approve of its rampant human rights abuses. In addition, said generals are superstitious freaks who, according to LABC, believe that contact with ladies' lingerie can render a man feeble.
So take off your panties and send them to the embassy near you; it's easier, more fun, and more direct than writing a letter to the U.N. Try to veto this, China!

You have to be made of stone not to have been following the Baby Grace case. The one that had hardened cops weeping and fondling tiny pink sneakers after her little decomposed body was found floating in Galveston Bay. Even the forensic artist brought in to create her likeness so she could be identified came away moved. After 14 weeks of nature taking its toll on Baby Grace's tortured little body, one would imagine that job to be a horrible one, but the beautiful innocence of a child whose true face she'd only ever see in her mind's eye makes the artists' description of that task simply transcendent:

Wow, yesterday was really not a good news day for Rudy Giuliani. In addition to the fact that he used New York City as a private bank account to finance his extramarital affairs, it was also revealed Rudy is linked to a well-known supporter of Osama bin Laden and 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Muhammad. This was revealed by Rudy expert Wayne Barrett of the Village Voice.
The connection goes like this. Giuliani Security & Safety LLC, a subsidiary of Giuliani Partners, the consulting firm that has made Rudy Giuliani rich, worked for either Qatar's interior ministry or the state-owned company it helps oversee, Qatar Petroleum. The interior ministry is run by a member of the Qatar royal family named Abdallah bin Khalid al Thani. Giuliani went on Larry King with al Thani in late 2001 and vouched for him. The problem is al Thani is alleged to have strong terrorist ties. He is "said to have welcomed Osama bin Laden on two visits to [his] farm, a charge repeated as recently as October 10, 2007, in a Congressional Research Service study." And Barrett notes that many people, including some within the American government, believe al Thani helped "spirit [9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Muhammad] out of Qatar in 1996, just as the FBI was closing in on him." Al Thani is a defendant in 9/11 lawsuits still proceeding in Manhattan federal court.
The fact that Giuliani was working with Qatar, which is a very dubious ally on the war on terror, is troubling.

This is one of those stories that you just can't stop thinking about and wondering what the hell is so wrong with people. You read the news and suddenly the whole hermit/Walden Pond thing just makes so much sense. If only there was a way to legislate against stupidity and viciousness. There isn't, but that didn't stop suburban St. Louis politicians from doing it anyway. Wrong as the underlying act was, heinous as it was, making online harassment, without a clearly stated threat, a punishable offense only makes things worse. Ninety percent of the blogosphere is prima facie harassment; they better get a lot more jails built and be ready to face a whole lotta 1st Amendment cases.
It's been hard to miss the story about the 13 year old girl who committed suicide after a MySpace boyfriend wooed, then cruelly mocked and dump her. The 'boyfriend' turned out to be the mom of her former best friend and only four houses down the leafy suburban cul de sac. As horrible as was a grown woman intentionally setting out to spy on a child (how dare she de-best friend her daughter), the details are even worse. The New York Times has the goods:
Stephanie MencimerNov. 29, 2007 11:16 AM
Bad news for trial lawyers, and bad news for Bill and Hillary, too. Famed Mississippi plaintiff's lawyer Richard "Dickie" Scruggs, who was slated to host a Clinton fundraiser next month, was indicted yesterday for allegedly trying to bribe a state court judge. The indictment comes a day after the FBI raided his office looking for a document, and two days after Scruggs' brother-in-law, Trent Lott, announced his resignation from the Senate.
When the FBI first raided Scruggs' office, Lott said the timing of his resignation was just a coincidence. But you do have to wonder. The indictment is pretty damning, and includes apparently taped conversations between the judge and some of the other lawyers involved in the alleged scheme.
The indictment will no doubt have other political fallout. Scruggs is a high-profile figure, having just used his private jet to ferry the new University of Mississippi football coach to Oxford hours before turning himself in to law enforcement authorities. He made millions off the state's lawsuit against the tobacco companies in the 1990s and has been leading the litigation against insurance companies over denied Katrina claims, including Lott's. Scruggs has been a generous Democratic political donor, particularly in Mississippi, where he used some of his tobacco winnings to found a now-defunct PAC to help elect liberal candidates to state office.
But his political loyalties have always been a little suspect, and not just because of his in-law status. This year, for instance, he has given nearly $30,000 to the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee and several thousand dollars to Joe Biden. But he's also contributed to Republican John McCain. Next month, Bill Clinton was scheduled to headline a fundraiser for his wife at Scruggs' Oxford home. Not surprisingly, today a Clinton spokesman tells Mother Jones that the event is "not happening."
Jonathan SteinNov. 29, 2007 11:09 AM
By now you may have heard yesterday's big news, other than the fact that the Republicans smacked each other something vicious on CNN. When Mayor of New York City, Rudy Giuliani took trips to the Hamptons to visit his then-mistress and now-wife Judith Nathan and billed the tens of thousands of dollars in security expenses to obscure New York City agencies like the Loft Board. Giuliani was still married to his second wife at the time. Also billed to small agencies were expenses for campaign trips during Giuliani's aborted 2000 Senate campaign and trips to Los Angeles for his then-wife Donna Hanover. The full, sordid details are available at Politico.
What's less well known is that Giuliani is having a hell of a time explaining himself.
At the debate yesterday, Giuliani pinned the blame on the cops who were assigned to protect him. "They put in their records. They handled them in the way they handled them. I had nothing to do with the handling of their records," he said.
In the Politico story, a Giuliani campaign aide said the problem was due to "accounting."
On a CBS News follow up, the campaign said "this is common practice." A top aide named Tony Carbonetti told the media "these were all legitimate expenses."
But Carbonetti seemed to reverse himself later, saying that he had ordered an investigation.
In 2001 and 2002, Giuliani handled this differently. When city auditors questioned the expenses, the Mayor's staff refused to provide them by citing "security."
The Giuliani campaign clearly was not prepared for this, meaning that the former mayor's New York City staff, who has been dealing with questions over this behind the scenes for over five years, chose not to brief them. Or the campaign's research department didn't ask the right questions. Or Giuliani himself didn't tell them to look into it.
No matter what, though, Giuliani had better figure out what his position is, because every time he takes a new stance, he extends the story through another news cycle. And this is so damaging, he'll want it to go away as soon as possible. If it ever does, and here's betting it doesn't.

The deal between the French nuclear behemoth Areva and the Chinese to build two nuclear power plants and run others in China may be part of an answer to that country's growing energy demand. Not to mention gross pollution. It also gives the now struggling nuclear business a big shot in the arm, and brings a little known, and growing power into focus as a major energy player: Sarkozy's France.
The Bush administration has hoped it could pump up nuclear as a clean alternative fuel. Since Three Mile Island the business has been in the dumps, mired in controversy over waste disposal and overall safety. As part of its expanding operations, Areva now wants to enter the U.S. market and has cut a deal with Constellation Energy, a Baltimore utility, to sell power plants here. The French, of course, have long played an important role in the oil and gas business with historic interests in Algeria, where the first major LNG exports to the U.S. originated; in West Africa, where the Gulf of Guinea has become a hot spot in the search for what's left of the world's oil and gas; and the Middle East.

Found product easily and the other reviews helped to make my purchase.
After putting up with dripping shower for some time (will do it someday), finally prchased a replacement valve/cartridge. As I'd fitted the first one myself confident I could replace it. No real problems, just remember which inlet is 'hot' and setting the max water temp might depend on your H/W boiler setting if you have a seperate DHW setting. Much easier to use than the old one, wife's happy which is all that matters.
Excellent service. Product arrived promptly, as advertised and well packaged.

From what I can make of the link you sent me it's Part 3 section 3 that relates to my situation however I am still not certain on how I'm implicated by it.
Essentially what I really want to know is 'according to this law do I definitely have to give the details they requested?' The reason I ask is that other Italian clients of mine haven't gone through this process with me so I don't see the necessity of going through this process with this client.

If I died, would somebody care? Sure, my parents would, my siblings would and my relatives would because they are obliged to do so. But, I am talking about the contacts that I have established, the friends that I have made and the people that I have met. Sure, for the first few days, they'll all be like "Oh she passed away, that's sad." But how long will that last, a few days, a few weeks or a few months?
I have always pondered if there would be someone, maybe at least one person who misses me throughout his/her entire life. Who thinks that life is incomplete without me? Who thinks that their survival has been possible only because of me? Have I been capable of bringing about such a difference in somebody's life? Has somebody's existence been possible because of me? Well, apparently not, but I don't know; only time will tell and I sincerely hope and pray that I have.
Every day of my life, I wake up with a silent determination that I shan't hurt anybody around me morally or verbally, that nobody gets upset because of me and that I shall talk to others about their pain and miseries and relieve them. And trust me, it very seldom works. People get irritated, frustrated and agitated by me.
Death is a strange word. Everyone shies away from it even though we all know that we can't escape it. You can talk about nearly everything to the people around you, but say the word death and that's it, end of conversation! It is a forbidden issue, a taboo. It is scaring and horrifying to think about it.
History repeats itself. This is indeed true. All my life, the only thing that I never wanted to repeat kept on repeating itself – loneliness. No matter how hard I tried or how cool I seemed, at one point or the other, people always left me alone. I don't know, probably it was because I was blind to those who actually cared about me. But, those who I cared about always left me with nothing but remorse and I mean ALWAYS!
It is at these times that BSB's immortal lyrics come into my mind "Although loneliness has always been a friend of mine, I am leaving my life in your hands; People say that I am crazy and I am blind."
I have been left alone, heartbroken but I still make more friends maybe only to be heartbroken again. Maybe this is just another cycle of nature that keeps on repeating itself over and over again. When will it end? No one knows!

a friend said I shouldn't go to my dentist for a crown. she said the best way to go about crowns is to find a dentist who has a CEREC machine where the ceramic crown is made the same day you get it inserted. do all dentists think that crowns made by CEREC are just as good if not better then lab-made crowns? Does CEREC usually cost the same or more?
CEREC vs. Lab for Dental Crown
Doctor Answers 11
CEREC vs lab fabricated full crowns
Cerac vs Lab
Your friend is not accurate when they say Cerac crowns are better. It all depends on the person doing the crown. Cerac crowns can be done well. Historically these type of crowns have not had a very good track record often times not fitting very well. But many lab made crowns have also been done poorly. A far more important question is whether or not your dentist does high quality restorations no matter how they are produced. A good way to find a good dentist is to call local dental labs and ask them who they see. They know the type of work the local dentists do. Best of luck to you.
Cerec vs. Lab is not the right question.
It depends what you want. If your priority is convenience then the one-day Cerec crown is probably the best choice. At least in the short term.
If you value esthetics and longevity of the crown, then Cerec might not be your best choice.
The reason is that one of the major causes of crown failure over time is the gap between the crown and the tooth, what dentists call the margin. The gap is small and measured in microns (0.00039 inches). Although this is small, it is important to note that bacteria are smaller. Eventually larger margins get infected or 'leak'.
It has been shown that crowns made from digital impressions (which is what Cerec employs) have smaller gaps than traditional lab made metal ones. But it has also been shown that crowns made at the lab from digital impressions have even smaller margins. Plus, lab processed crowns look so much better than in-office Cerec crowns.
In my opinion the quality goes from better to worse in the following order:
1) Digital impression, lab processed; 2)In-office CAD/CAM (Cerec); 3)Traditional impression, traditional crown. (Please remember that there are many variables not accounted for in this discussion)
Attached is an abstract about the margin gap size of various crowns.
Hope this helps.

Things to consider - Lab vs CEREC crowns
I have not done many CEREC crowns, but there are limitations with them. The top reasons I would chose a lab fabricated crown have to do mostly with aesthetics. If the tooth is in the front, and it is very critical that it matches, there is no better way to go than with a ceramist that can build in the visual details into their crowns. A skilled dentist can sometimes stain the crown's surface to match closely, so it can still be matched.
In the hands of a skilled and attentive dentist, the CEREC tool can perform just as well, and you can expect a long lasting, quality restoration. Be sure to ask for an emax crown material for back teeth since that will be the strongest.
CEREC CROWNS vs. LAB CROWNS
Some LABS use the CEREC machines to make their crowns. So, that means they must feel they are as good as handmade (baked porcelain) crowns.
The price is usually the same. It's a convenience for the patients to get the crowns in one day. The dentists that don't want to invest in the time or technology for CEREC will tell you the crowns aren't as good. If you break a crown off on a Friday afternoon and go to the dentist and leave with a beautiful natural looking permanent crown that night, you will agree CEREC crowns are amazing.
As with any procedure, the skill of the operator plays an important role in what it looks like. Not all lab crowns are perfect or esthetic.
Cerec and Ceramist made crowns
Cerec is one brand of a computer generated and milled restoration. The fees are usually the same. You have asked a question discussed often in the dental profession but rarely by the public. The public often assumes all crowns are the same like a commodity. Most dentists lack the artistic skill, years of experience staining and refining, and understanding of materials than that of a skilled Ceramist. When I say "most" that is not "all". Some dentists have a very high level of skill.
I, personally, would not even consider using a Ceramist with less than 20 years experience. If your goal is a natural, invisible crown - go with the lab made. If your goal is fewer appointments and a life like look is not important, consider the Cerec crown.
Cerec is only about convenience
Cerec is not superior to a dental lab, and in some dentists hands they can be inferior. Lab worked crowns are by what all materials will be compared, as they are the standard. Cerec dentists are NOT all the same, it is just a tool. Even though all artists use brushes and canvas, they are not all equal. If you find a cerec dentist that takes their time and is skilled, you are fine and likely can get it done in a single visit. It will be a much LONGER visit, but only one.
I have a cerec and use it where indicated. Often when patients hear the logistics of it, opt for two visits, since each one is no more than 30 minutes. A well made cerec (stained, glazed and crystalized in an oven) will require well over two hours for the single visit.
Web reference: http://www.bestseattledentist.com/html/crowns-seattle.html
Cerec vs lab
Cerec crowns are not necessarily better. They are often not strong enough if you clench and grind your teeth.
They are more convienant if started and finished in one day but quality can be missed if that is the goal.
These crowns/partial crowns are also more expensive since there is an added value in a one visit crown. The cerec machine is expensive and dentists need to recoup that money.
Overall, not worth it.
Theyre equally good in the back of the mouth
Cerec crowns offer the convenience of a single visit completion of your crown preparation and delivery. Unlike a lab made crown, a Cerec crown is milled from a rectangular block, which usually means less esthetic control when trying to match exisiting teeth in the front of the mouth.
If youre looking for convience, Cerec is tha way to go, but for a more esthetic crown that matches the other teeth, a cosmetic lab ceramist can create wonders!!
CEREC vs. Lab Crown
As a CEREC user for the past 10 years. I can easily say that a well done CEREC crown will equal the quality and appearance of a well done lab fabricated crown. The biggest difference that I notice is the turnaround time for the crown to be placed on the tooth. CEREC has always marketed itself as a single visit procedure, but often times it is easier to utilize two short appointments instead of one very long appointment. The major advantage of the CEREC procedure is that you can control how soon the second visit will be to minimize the time the patient needs to wear a temporary crown.

The soldiers come in like a flood,
I hear screams,
and I smell blood.
I have no weapon!
I can't protect myself!
Now all I'm thinking about is my health.
I can't do this!
I'm way too young!
Now all I can taste,
is death on my tongue.
The sun goes down,
and I can't see.
Now I have no idea what's gonna happen to me.
The soldiers' expectations of me were high and low.
But all I am,
And all I ever will be,
Is the drummer boy of Shiloh...
