...notice that the players wearing the royal blue jerseys are somehow different. This guy with a candy-apple red Mohawk darts into view, launching his lanky frame at the ball like a madman. In the center of the defense is a buzzing human gnat wearing the black-leather face mask of a professional wrestler. The team captain is a silky assassin who snakes passes with the style and misdirection of 007. His wingman is a shaved-headed, ball-dribbling maestro. Up front: two bleach blond surfer dudes, one of them with the most pinchable cheeks since the Gerber baby...
...this reason, many doctors recommend judicious doses of fast-acting relaxants such as the benzodiazepines Xanax, Valium or Klonopin to serve as a temporary bridge until the SSRIs have a chance to kick in. The downside of such drugs is that they can be highly addictive and may merely mask symptoms. For this reason, doctors will prescribe them very carefully and strictly limit refills...
Before you start installing anything, make sure you have the following information handy: your broadband connection's IP address, subnet mask, default gateway and DNS IP addresses.

...cautiously picked their way toward the sound, shouting reassurances, hoping they might find a survivor, miraculously clinging to life in the midst of the rubble. Later, the last, dogged hope abandoned to the harsh realities of the site, it became a salvage job: Pull the wreckage apart, keep your mask on, pray none of the broken steel beams falls on you. This was a daily grind cloaked in mindfulness, punctuated by constant, grim reminders of death and loss, spent sifting through the wreckage in hopes of finding human remains...
...resembles Matthew McConaughey more closely than the stoic elder statesman in a Gilbert Stuart painting. Jim Rees, Mount Vernon's executive director, declares that Washington "at age 23 was already the action hero of his times." Using the skills of a forensic scientist, a plastic surgeon and a life mask of the President's face, Mount Vernon will create a more youthful and vital portrait and build a new orientation center, education center and museum to play up his action-hero side. Steven Spielberg is even making a new 15-min. bio film. Indiana George and the Battle of Trenton...
