tooth implants

It starts with some anesthetics. A few pricks to the front of your jawbone. Nothing serious. Then a few jabs in the canopy with the same syringe.

Then there is a small incision and the drilling starts. [...]

election is no series of tubes

Six term and lifelong Alaskan senator Ted “The internet is a series of tubes” Stevens finally lost his position as a senator. Despite an earlier seven charge conviction of fraud he maintained his election position and refused to back down. That, along with the fact that even Sarah “Rambo” Palin didn’t support him either seems [...]

spread the word

Hello leaders of scientology, we are anonymous. We hope you are having as much fun with this as we are. As you know, we are still here, and with every passing day your failure to account for the fraud and abuse exposed by our campaign becomes more evident to the media, [...]

chrome is the best

Chrome is the best browser out there.
Yes, I do seriously mean it! No, it’s technically not the best, nor in form and looks, nor in functionality.

release

Finally relief!!!
This evening an awfully good osteopath managed to free the last of my necks vertebrae that was blocked. In the process of doing so he also included a quick release of some dorsal ones too.
As you may, remember I had some neck trouble. Not that everything is 100% OK now, but this clears the [...]

aaaauuuwwww

This is one of the causes of my current bad state. All these muscles you see there, including the ones not colored, are stiff, sore and hurt like hell.
Furthermore, my spinal discs are in a bad shape. Kine managed to loosen up three of them already, but the upper one refuses to come loose. To [...]

A request is raised in the European parliament to lift the ban on liquids on airplanes.
Finally some common sense?
The House adopted a resolution with 464 votes in favour, 158 against and 70 abstentions on the restrictions imposed by the EU on liquids that passengers [...]
