Internet Troll: One who purposely and deliberately (that purpose usually being self-amusement) starts an argument in a manner which attacks others on a forum without in any way listening to the arguments proposed by his or her peers. He will spark such an argument via the use of ad hominem attacks (i.e. ‘you’re nothing but a fanboy’ is a popular phrase) with no substance or relevance to back them up as well as straw man arguments, which he uses to simply avoid addressing the essence of the issue.

We all have stories about big winter storms and how we lived through them, but it doesn’t look like 2012 is going to provide any fodder for our collection of snow survival sagas. In fact, winter, so far this year, has been a complete dud, and while many are quite content with that, I’m not among them. I like four distinct seasons each year and that means winter with snow, cold temperatures and the occasional big blow.

Most people think of heart disease as one condition. But in fact, heart disease is a group of conditions affecting the structure and functions of the heart and has many root causes. Coronary artery disease, for example, develops when a combination of fatty materials, calcium and scar tissue (called plaque) builds up in the arteries that supply blood to your heart (coronary arteries).
