Girona, the medieval Catalan city that is 90 km away from Barcelona has been on my bucket list for the longest time! Why? Because of the nature, the romantic coastlines, the glorious fine blue Mediterranean seas, the history and most important, to see the world famous Salvador Dalí Museum and to the quaint seaside village of Cadaques where the artist lived and worked for many years.
Costa Brava should be on your bucket list and here is a little travel guide to Costa Brava.
We spent 4 days exploring the coast by car and foot. In my opinion, Tossa De Mar stay here if you are looking in being central and not keen on exploring other cities, you will find all sorts of accommodation but not as higher end as in Platja D'aro, Begur is a hilltop town, be prepared for a long walk down to the beach, stay here if you enjoy the medieval little streets, the local cuisine and the beautiful vibe. Cadaques and Roses is beautiful and almost on the borders, if you stay here, going to Tossa for a day visit should be done in the morning. Platja d'aro is more upscale. You will find the higher end hotels here and beautiful coves and beaches are found just like Tossa.
In collaboration with Batuta.com
How to get there?
You can start your journey from Barcelona. We rented a car from SixT (You can chose over a million places to rent your car, we booked it directly but you can use sites like this one here and here.
Ultimately you can take a taxi, it will be about 300 euros, or a bus or fly into Girona airport. Driving was definitely the easiest way and you will need a car if you want to drive around the coast
The time of arrival will depend on where in Costa Brava you want to stay in. There are many different locations around the coast that could take up to 5 hours drive.
Where to stay?
I stayed in Platjo D'aro at the Salles Hotel & Spa Cala Del Pi and booked it through batuta.com
Where to go?
The list below is by chronological order on your drive through the coast. Ultimately there is a great drop down guide list of the beaches and coves in each town right here. You could pick your favorite one and set a route plan!
Blanes 1 hour from Barcelona by car. A popular destination for weekend visitors from Barcelona due to the proximity to the city. We passed though Blanes by car but did not explore much the town.
Lloret de Mar
The incredible town of Lloret de Mar has beautiful gothic architectures and historic churches. We visited the streets of the Old Town and sites such as Can Xardo and Can Comadran. There are plenty of hotels and places to stay here as well.
Tossa de Mar
1 hour and 40 minutes. We stopped here and spent the whole afternoon! You can walk everywhere here in the city center and its beautiful!! They call it ' The Blue Paradise'. Tossa is an ancient fishermen's village with an important historical background, that has become a well known tourist destination on the Costa Brava. There are many beaches, coves and historical things to see and is one of the most popular town with tourists. Most importantly you will find the castle, Sometime in the 12th century the mediaeval town was walled off and a castle was built on the highest point of Mt. Guardí, this castle was to be subsequently replaced by a wind mill, and this in turn by a lighthouse which is still operational. If you plan on staying here, book at hotel Diana, it was initially our first plan but then decided to drive further into Platja D'aro.
Platja D'aro
A 2 hour drive into Platja D'aro (30 minutes from Tossa) and we checked into Hotel Salles Cala Del Pi . Hidden coves and beaches along the way makes this one of the greatest experiences! You can cross the town coast through a little trek. Across the coves, into the pathways to find more hidden gems. We started from the hotel and went into a tunnel from the beach and walked for miles.
A 3 hour drive from Barcelona and a 1 hour and 20 minute drive from Platja D'aro, Begur is something out of a Games of Thrones movie. Although it has one of the best diving locations, most people come to Begur for hiking, horse riding and mountain biking. You can also find wonderful local shops. The town is found on a hilltop and it is one of my favorite towns. You can walk all around the little medieval corners and will not stop staring at the architecture of this place! I think Begur won my heart the most. It's different that the others, everyone is jealous of Begur dating back to the 11th century. Spend the afternoon here, watch the sunset reflect on the stone rooftop houses. You will not regret Begur!
Skipping through the coast, we drove by Roses, home to stunning little coves and beaches once again, Roses used to be a Greek colony, centuries before Christ. Greeks came from the lovely island of Rhodes in 776 BC, tempted by the peaceful waters of Roses' natural harbour, when they set up their commercial colony and you can see the facade and remains of this Greek city! In roses you can visit La Ciutadella – The Citadell Roses, the lighthouses, the historical monuments and of course, the beautiful beaches. If you are into little coves here are a few: Cala Murtra, Cala Rustella and Cala Calitjas.
Almost to the borders of France, we took a long, long, long drive into the town and it's the eastern point in Spain. The beautiful waterfront town that has the facade of Greek architecture and the statue of Dali right in the center for you to take pictures with! With a population of about 3,000 inhabitants, the town dates back to the Iberians' period. The town of Cadaques is beautiful and picturesque on so many levels.
A huge thank you to Batuta.com for making my hotel booking easy and smooth!

Declaration of Human Rights -
Article 5: No one shall be subjected to torture or to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment.
Capital punishment has a deterrent effect. Fear of the death penalty will keep potential murderers from committing the crime.
Research has failed to provide valid scientific proof that capital punishment has a deterrent effect. In fact, U.S. states that abolished the death penalty have lower homicide rates than retentionist states, as do countries without the death penalty.
In order to find out what causes criminal behaviour, one must look at the complex psychological and social circumstances of human existence. To think this issue could be solved with the death penalty would be naïve.
A good example of the positive effect of its abolition is seen in the case of Canada: Since capital punishment was abolished there, the murder rate has decreased by some 24% compared to the time when it was still applied.
"An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth". Justice means to give someone a taste of their own medicine.
If we give back to the perpetrator what he gave the victim, we would prove to be no better than the offender. For example, we do not rape a rapist, nor do we cause bodily harm to a person guilty of assault.
Executing a perpetrator neither abates nor negates a crime. The sole necessity of an execution is to meet the need for retaliation, which in itself is neither necessary nor morally just. A nation that alleges that it is morally superior must not conduct itself in the very same way as a criminal, but rather follow both a legal and a moral code.
The "eye for an eye" passage from the biblical Old Testament has been misinterpreted time and again. It is not a call for retribution, but for proportionality in order to limit excessive punishment. It also dates back to times rife with blood vengeance. The New Testament refutes vengeance and calls for forgiveness, restoration, and reconciliation.
Terrorism is Different
Terrorists attack a nation and human society at their roots, thereby threatening the continued existence of modern civilization and culture.
The death penalty does not deter any terrorist from committing terrorist acts. Terrorists fanatically believe in what they do, and the brutality they often apply is an effort to martyr themselves for their cause, which for them is a means of "salvation."
Protection of Society
An executed offender can never again commit murder ("specific deterrence"). Society can not be protected by incarceration as the perpetrator may kill if he is released from prison or harm fellow inmates or officers.
Data have failed to prove the truth of the expression, 'once a killer always a killer'. Additionally, incarceration is equally effective at protecting society.
Undoubtedly, society needs to be protected from dangerous individuals. In this day and age, incarceration is an equally effective option.
A state has a duty to recognize the sanctity of all life and to foster that principle on behalf of all of its citizens. Therefore, it is not morally entitled to violate its citizens' right to life to satisfy some alleged need for safety.
In particular, media coverage and pertinent fiction have contributed to the commonly shared view that death row houses mainly serial killers. However, pathological killers such as Hannibal Lecter are clearly the exception.
The Cost for Life in Prison
Hardened criminals have it nice and easy in a "cushy" environment complete with TV and are fed with taxpayers' money. We should not waste taxpayers' money on lengthy incarceration.
Currently, in the US the cost of an execution from the start of trial until the death warrant is enforced exceeds by far the cost of a life sentence.
Any humane society is a community based on the principle of mutual solidarity and it is required to provide the resources necessary in dealing with its offenders. However, the financial aspect, especially when provoked by base motives such as resentment or revenge, must never be rated as highly as the legal principle of the inviolability of human life. To offset cost against a human life can only be described as a mean and disrespectful attitude.
Public Opinion
In a democratic system, the will of the people must be heeded -
Public opinion is dangerous by nature, as 'opinion' is not an equivalent to knowledge. Human instinct must not be disavowed; however, when it comes to institutions such as the legal system, decisions should not to be based upon it.
In general, the public is uninformed or misinformed about facts regarding the death penalty. The more superficially or less informed the public is, the more radically it will judge.

A statement given by the American Academy of Pediatrics to Dateline pretty much sums up why I WILL be vaccinating my child. Specifically:
While it is likely that there are many environmental factors that influence the development of autism, vaccines are not the cause of autism. We know this because many careful and repeated studies show no link between vaccines and autism. Specifically, numerous studies have refuted Andrew Wakefield's theory that MMR vaccine is linked to bowel disorders and autism. Every aspect of Dr. Wakefield's theory has been disproven.Don't get me wrong, I am concerned about Autism and the possibility of my child developing it. However, it's sounding more and more like a genetic defect (which one study says possibly develops sometime in the 2nd trimester) and at this point, may be unavoidable. In the meantime, since almost all studies show that there is NO LINK between childhood vaccines and Autism, I will have my kids vaccinated. It's more important now than ever to have your kids vaccinated since so many parents are NOT vaccinating their children, exposing EVERYONE to the possibility of any number of diseases and infections that haven't been widespread for years, like whooping cough and measles.
It's a very sensitive subject with parents, and one I would probably leave on the shelf among strangers (like religion and politics) because people's mind's are usually pretty made up on the topic. I will not try to convince someone otherwise if they choose to not vaccinate. I WILL protect my child from those people's children by vaccinating them.
In less controversial news, I'd like to give a shout out to my sciatic nerve for ruining my day.

Summit Drilling
Summit Drilling is a World Class Diamond Drilling Company specializing in custom build drill rigs. The compact design and structural alluminum frame offer a unique versitility that allows us to get into remote areas quickly and easily.
The logo must be able to simplified to 1 color, as it will be used to be printed on pens and other marketing material (the main logo can be more than 1).
I have extended the qualifying round by 2 days. This is my first contest, so I am still getting used to it.
After speaking with the client, he would like to see some more original ideas. He felt that many of the designs were similar. One of the ideas he mentioned (not sure how feasible this is), is to perhaps incorporate the logo into the text.
EDIT 2: Apr 11/12
I would to thank everyone for their submissions!
I just finished meeting with my client. He feels that the logo should just focus on the summit (and not the drilling). So anything with drilling in the concept, likely will not be moving forward.
Also, one concept he was hoping to see was one that used the mountains within the wording.

2010 in Review (and collection of "pirate" photos)
>> Wednesday, January 05, 2011
2010 numbers:
- Swim: 151,806.6 yards (86.25 miles, 1.81 mph ave)
- Bike: 863.93 miles (outdoors, 18.42 mph ave)
- Run: 911.42 miles (7:21 / mile ave)
- Trainer Rides / Spin Class: 21 hours 30 minutes
- Mountain Biking: 4 hours 49 minutes
- Strength / Core: 65 hours 27 minutes (129 "sessions")
- Weight: 156.6 start, 156.4 end, 159.9 high (Feb), 151.4 low (Sept)
- Body Fat %: high of 12.65 (July), low of 11.47 (Sept)
Some notes on those numbers:
- Swim: over 100% more than last year! Thanks to Julia! (And Jen!)
- Bike: believe it or not, but that's BETTER than last year (by like 55 miles). I need to fall back in love with biking, but it's just not happening...
- Run: over 50% more than last year! I had 399 miles logged in the first 6 months of 2010, and over 512 miles logged in the last 6 months. Thanks to Jen!
- Strength / Core: a few more times than 2009, but pretty similar. Did a little less in the last half of the year because Jen didn't have me doing as much during my TC 10 Mile training.
- Weight: pretty similar to last year. But both my high and low are a little higher than last year. Uh oh...
- Duathlons: 4 total (2 individually, 2 as a relay)
- Triathlons: 4 total (1 sprint, 1 oly, 2 indoor)
- Half Marathons: 2
- 10 Mile: 2
- 5K or 4 Mile: 3
- KILLED my Olympic Tri PR with a 2:15:37 performance at Liberty Tri.
- Also at Liberty, I received my first "age group" win in a tri.
- Raced my first "swim only" event at the "Great Prairie 2.5K Open Water Swim."
- Had GREAT luck with my running: set new PRs in the mile (4:53), 5K (17:11), 4 mile (22:42), 10 mile (59:05), and half marathon (1:22:51) distances!
- Most of those PRs were substantial: 1.6 sec in the mile, 15 sec in the 5K, 1:07 in the 4 mile, 3:14 in the 10 mile, and 5:14 in the half marathon. (And my Oly PR was 7:23 better than my previous best!)
- Got to work with Jen Harrison (my first real coach) and learned a TON in the 8 weeks prior to the TC 10 Mile.
I think one of the biggest personal highlights for me is that after a year of MORE mileage and FASTER PRs, I can say that I didn't have to visit Dr. Folske ONCE in 2010! It's been the most injury-free year I've EVER had! My heels and my knees are in good shape! I hurt a little something in my foot after Liberty, but I just took it easy for a while after that. I played it smart. And being smart paid off. The downside was that I didn't race nearly as much as in the past - add up my running and multisport races listed above this year, and you get 15; last year it was 19; and the year before it was 21.
Remember my ONE goal for 2010? It was this: to get a photo at the finish line of every race with me stopping my watch or looking like a "pirate" (or THEE most amazing photo of all: a pirate WHILE stopping my watch!). I was sick of getting photos like this in the past, so at the end of 2009, I decided I'd embrace this for 2010. Below is what I was able to get throughout the year.
First, here are 7 photos of me stopping my watch:
L to R, top of bottom: Winter Carnival Half Marathon, Oakdale Du, Gear West Du, Liberty Tri, Great Prairie Open Water Swim, Waseca Tri, and the official timing photo from the Charities Challenge Track Meet (1 mile)
Cannon Falls Duathlon
Oakdale Duathlon (unflattering down-stride... sorry)
Waseca Triathlon

The Oral Lichen Planus Support Group's own Dr. Terry Rees has been honored by Texas A&M College of Dentistry with an endowed chair.
Thanks to the generosity of individual and corporate donors, the $1 million Dr. Terry Rees Endowed Chair in Stomatology will continue to advance patient care, education and research in stomatology at the College of Dentistry.
Well over 8,000 patients have benefited from the specialized care of the college's Stomatology Center, of which Rees is a founder. "We deliver potentially life-saving diagnoses and procedures for patients and want to be sure that continues," says Rees.
Read more about our Dr. Rees in the College of Dentistry's newsletter, Dentistry Insider.
Our Dr. Nancy Burkhart discusses a trend among patients who have been diagnosed with lichen planus. Many patients want to know if removing dental amalgams will assist in improvements with oral lichen planus or their general health.

Philosophy of The Support Group
The Oral Lichen Planus web site began in 1997 with the formation of the site and an email address for Dr. Burkhart to correspond with patients and practitioners. Since that time, we have added other features to enhance the site and we have increased our discussion sessions.
The philosophy of the site is to provide educational materials and individual support to patients with the disorder through a self-help concept. The individual patient is perceived as a member of the larger group that comprises the worldwide oral lichen planus patient population.
Purpose of the Web site
The educational material provided on the site is intended to assist the patient, family members and the practitioner in obtaining correct information regarding oral lichen planus. The information provided on the IOLPSG is designed to support, not replace, the relationship that exists between a patient/site visitor and his/her physician.
All material received on our web site is treated as confidential and is not shared with any third parties. Only those directly involved with the web site have access to the e-mails, addresses or any other personal information. Both Dr. Terry Rees and/or Dr. Nancy Burkhart review and answer e-mails directly.
In the event that an e-mail is shared with another party, such as a healthcare provider, permission is first obtained from the person who contacts us. Information in the form of e-mails and surveys are moved into separate files and treated confidentially.
Advertising Policy:
The IOLPSG is a non-profit organization and we do not operate through advertising or promotion of any specific products. Any products that are recommended are based solely on proven data of the success of the product and its use in the treatment of oral lichen planus. Our recommendations are subject to change based on new research and on new products that may become available or those that may assist more fully in treatment. We do not accept advertising or sponsorship of any dental products in exchange for advertising or promotion of a particular product.

Reiki is a simple technique for relaxation and balance. It calms the mind and allows us to shift away from our body's "fight or flight" mode and into our "rest and restore" mode. Reiki allows us to move that heaviness that we can carry with us; it offers a way for us to let go. It feels like an emotional detox.
Reiki is done through light touch. Clients typically will lay on a massage table, fully dressed, while the practitioner works quietly, working through hand positions that cross major joints and organs. Treatments range anywhere from 30-90 minutes. However, among friends or family, it may look simpler: the resting of one's own hands on an aching belly, a father treating his son's headache, or treating a pet that isn't feeling well. Anyone can receive Reiki, and anyone can learn Reiki.
While Japanese in origin, Reiki does not have religious dogma or affiliation. Some practitioners may have specific spiritual beliefs, however, you should only work with someone that you feel comfortable with.
People often ask, "but what is Reiki?" which is a harder question to answer. There are two definitions. One is the system of Reiki, which includes the lineages, the history, the hand placements, et cetera. The other definition is a very specific type of healing energy. There are many ways to understand this: wind is one form of energy and lightning is another; laughter is different than the feeling of contemplation; musical notes are easily distinguishable to the trained ear. There are many types of energies in this world, and Reiki is simply one of them.
But really, the best way to understand Reiki is to experience it. Try it and see.
Reduce your anxiety and clear out that accumulated stress. Book an appointment with Caroline and get yourself back to feeling good.

As today is celebrated as Labor Day in the USA, I thought that today's post should celebrate the labor force and and attitude that is rare these days but certainly can make a day of labor much more bareable.
A friend sent this graphic to me and I instantly could see the joy with which we should be living our lives in the face of the dog. I could also understand what the message was saying based on the gate metaphor. Who hasn't seen the immediate joy of a dog released to run somewhere?
Truly a lesson to keep in mind on those rough days at work.
Happy Labor Day!

La danse des esprits
« A mind is like a parachute. It doesn't work if it is not open.»
Frank Zappa.
Exactly when everything seems very far away, it is all very close by… I'm not that wise yet to pretend to have understood some of the biggest mysteries of the Universe, neither can I affirm that I possess the ultimate truth; because fortunately, there is no ultimate truth. However, thanks to my travels, my friends, my errors and the lessons I've drawn from them, I can truly say that there are things that go beyond our understanding. I think everybody at some point has to realise this and ask himself what is hidden in the invisible around us.
Deities? Spirits? Ghosts? Our beloved ones that passed away and watch over us? Besides the name we give it, and whether we are receptive to it or not, I am convinced that everybody has the feeling he is not completely alone, that he belongs to something clearly surpassing his own being. As Emerson said: "If you still doubt, it is enough to raise your head and look at the stars to become aware of it".
Next year in autumn I will start working on a mind-boggling photo-reportage on shamans, these men and women who question the cosmos to find answers.
Shaman: a puzzling, disturbing, even destabilising word if we are not used to conceive the variety of realities present in our world. Isn't it an undisputed truth that many of us don't like what they don't understand? Just like I have done in the past, probably many individuals force themselves to reject what seems senseless to their own eyes and to the eyes of a system in which the majority of us lives. At first glance, who could have ever imagined that there is an array of possibilities to imagine the sense of life, right out there in front of us? Seemingly irrational things, that slip through our fingers like sand, that we can't buy, nor control or possess. I understand this can be frightening…
We can accept or refuse this observation, but whether we believe it or not, I don't think that matters most. Especially as it would be a pity not to wonder why this thousands-year-old knowledge continues to be present today, spread over our planet and much more ancient than our own beliefs; or why these people who venerate the stars, totem animals and other guardian spirits are often more capable than us to live in harmony with the other sentient beings with whom we share this Earth. It took me a long time to conceive and finally accept the idea that, on the other side of the planet, there are people with another vision of the world whose lifestyle is in reality more in line with the values that I cherish. This way, I recognised their wisdom and their precious heritage to become permeated with their knowledge that would certainly help me to become a better person.
Today, I thank these people who have taken their time to teach their culture to that arrogant boy who was convinced he knew everything. I dare to think that no religion or book can really explain what is the imperceptible. The only way to discover it, is making the journey yourself through the vast labyrinth of information that is our conscience and receiving certain answers that allow us to judge better these beliefs that surpass our understanding and shake our modern world since human beings have raised their fellows to the status of immortality. Eventually, we will enrich our view of the world and possibly shatter into pieces the prejudices of our terrestrial and spiritual borders, that immobilise us in our solitude and separate us all from one another since what, according to my readings, seems to me an eternity.

The clocks going back often signify darker nights, colder weather and the desire to put your onesie on at 4pm and drink tea until it's late enough to drink wine!! But don't let the change in seasons knock or waiver your motivation to get fit, stay fit and achieve your racing goals.
This time of year is actually my favourite time of year. There's a time to be fast and there's a time to sow the seeds and this time of year is all about planting the seeds that will ripen next year. The hard work you do now really does count towards your fitness levels next year….. winter miles = summer smiles!
So here's my 5 top tips for keeping those winter blues at bay and staying motivated for the season ahead.
Surround yourself with like minded people! There's nothing worse than spending your time with mood hoovers (we all know a person that drains you of your energy and positivity). So instead find a bunch of people who are motivated in the same way you are, or who have a common or shared goal or vision. Here at Tri Energy we're half way through our RunFit programme where we've set up a closed facebook group for those on the course. This has been a great way to share ideas, advice, encourage and motivate one another. So set out to find someone who you can buddy up with and make the training enjoyable and sociable as well as hard and worthwhile.
Find a coach. Life is busy enough without the hassle of deciding what training to do and when to do it. To see improvements training should be progressive, but it should also be specific and have an element of overloading with ample recovery to avoid burning out. It can be a minefield! At Tri Energy we have experienced and qualified coaches who can take the guess work out of your training and write bespoke individual training plans tailored just to you! We write programmes for triathlon training and single discipline training packages such as running. Contact us with what you need and we'd be more than happy to help.
Find a spring fitness goal. Having something in mind for the spring will really help you to stay motivated through the summer. It may be a half marathon or your first triathlon, or like one of the ladies we are coaching….your first ironman!!! We'd also encourage you to try something new. Our favourite event in years gone by was The Tandem Triathlon and this year was The Breca SwimRun. So find something that scares you and commit to it.
Little & Often. During the winter months there can be Christmas parties, New Year's parties, family gatherings….and life just gets generally busy. Don't stress about lost time, instead adopt the 'little and often' approach. So if you don't have an hour in the evening to do a run, why not half an hour in the morning and half an hour in the evening….everyone loves a double run day! Or cut your 2 hour bike ride short into a really intense turbo set to help improve that functional threshold power giving you a brilliant workout with time left over.
Explore!! The best thing about training is finding new places. Run off road, dig out the mountain bike and find secret paths and hidden trails to just switch off and enjoy. We'd also recommend on some of these training days leaving your watch at home. It doesn't matter how far you've done or how fast you've done it, just enjoy the freedom and the great outdoors!

Total OBD & ECU Auto Diagnostics
Under the provisions of OBD-II regulations, emissions related diagnostic and service information will be readily available to the service industry, from the vehicle manufacturer. This information includes procedures and specifications necessary to diagnose the engine control system. Although enhanced diagnostics may be available using special equipment and procedures, at a minimum, repair procedures will be written using the generic scan tool and other commonly available test equipment like multimeters; and oscilloscopes.
In an effort to simplify diagnostics, OBD-II requires that all manufacturers standardize DTCs on OBD-II equipped vehicles. Eventually, all emissions related service information will be standardized in format and available through an electronic media.

Don't pay hundreds of dollars to find out what is wrong with your car. This book is dedicated to helping the do it yourself home and independent technician understand and use OBD-II technology to diagnose and repair their own vehicles.

I do admit to shopping at your store on occasion Ikea, and sorry to say, I'm a sucker for your mushroom crepe, plus your free tea and coffee offered during the week, in your oh-so-invitingly cheap cafe.
Also, don't get me started on your picture frames, I own 7 of them now.
You see, the problem is, I can't bring myself to buy new material, I just can't. There is such an abundant of fabric that can be sourced second-hand, I can't justify it.
Although recently, I've been drooling over some of your material, thinking of ways to recreate it into a fashion piece. It appears I'm not alone, Ikea, I've found many others, all over the world, that think the same way about your way-too-inviting material.
In Slovenia, Tejka made a stunning 20's inspired dress using Ikea's nautical themed fabric:
Do you see what is happening here Ikea? Did you know? You are creating a global dress sewing phenomenon, with worldwide stitchers incorporating your very own fabric design into their work. Congratulations Ikea, you're onto something good here.
Although, I don't know if you are going to like this Ikea, but did you know that some of your fabric is sold second-hand online? It may not be as cheap your fabric in store, but, there are pre-owned Ikea material options available ...
Readers, do you shop at Ikea? What do you think of Ikea fabric?

What is epilepsy? It is a problem in the electrical system of the brain and seizures or fits are part of it. There is a chance of disruption in the activity levels of the brain as it could lead to changes in movement, awareness or feeling. As far as the seizures are concerned it could last from a few seconds to varying minutes. This could occur at any point of time in life, but it is more common in the age group of 5 to 19 years. If you are an individual who has gone on to have seizures without any prominent symptoms in less than 24 hours, you are suffering from epilepsy.
With regards to the treatment, epilepsy surgery works out to be a most common form of treatment. For a patient who is prone to persistent seizures, this is a welcome source of treatment. This is in spite of the required trials or the use of drugs. In terms of the effectiveness of this form of surgery is concerned it does depend upon the stage and type of epilepsy you find yourself at. The main aim of the surgery would be to eradicate or remove the seizures. This goes on to remove the abnormal part which is the main cause of the seizure. One of the main causes of their occurrence would be changes in the brain due to an injury or any type of medical disorder as well. If you have any traumatic brain injury or brain tumors the chances of this disorder increases considerably.
In order to undertake this procedure, general anesthesia is given and the course of the surgery does take 3 to 4 hours. The moment the dose is administered you do fall asleep and then the head is fixed. In the meantime, the skull is prepared for the surgery. An incision is made on top of the skull to expose it. You also go on to take the help of brain mapping.
Once the surgery happens to be over you are going to experience a headache or nausea which you can control by medications. In most cases, you would need to stay in the hospital for 3 to 4 days after the surgery. After the surgery, the sutus would be removed after 7 to 10 days. After a month or so you can return back to normal activities. But one thing which is observed is that you will be a lot fatigued once the surgery is over. It would be better not to drive and walking would be the best form of exercise. In the months after the surgery stannous activities need to be avoided at any costs. In the first year or so you will be under the dose of medicine that could be stopped in due course of time.
In terms of the epilepsy surgery cost in India, it stands to be the lowest in the world. You do get quality treatment in all the major hospitals of the country as well.

Firefox's scrolling just 'works,' but Opera scrolling is hit or miss and fails a lot of the time.
Example: http://proacttraders.com/
When will Opera fix this so that all sites scrolling just 'works?'

@michael-ida look like something cover the background. i can scroll when the page not yeat fully loaded, but when the page is fully loaded the scroll didnt work

@michael-ida Also doesn't work on Chrome and Vivaldi so it's not an Opera issue.
Using an extension to change the user agent to Firefox's make the site work so it's the site itself causing the issue by doing browser sniffing.

In the Jewish War in 66-70 CE, 97,000 Jewish people were enslaved. The Emperor Vespasian brought 20,000 Jewish slaves to Rome after the Romans destroyed Jerusalem and the Temple. The Arch of Titus depicts a menorah as part of the plunder from Jerusalem. Vespasian and his successor Titus used the slaves to build the Roman Coliseum.
According to a reconstructed inscription found on the site, "the emperor Vespasian ordered this new amphitheatre to be erected from his general's share of the booty." This is thought to refer to the vast quantity of treasure seized by the Romans following their victory in the Great Jewish Revolt in 70 AD. The Coloseum can be thus interpreted as a great triumphal monument built in the Roman tradition of celebrating great victories, placating the Roman people instead of returning soldiers.
Regardless, the huge influx of Jewish slaves into the Roman for sale in the slave markets flooded the market and resulted in a significant decrease in the value of slaves. (See pics of Arch of Titus and Roman Forum.) Tomorrow, Greek Slavery Rita Bay
