Bridgeman isn’t the only one who’s maxed out. Countless Americans have consumed far beyond their means during the recent economic boom, and piled up record amounts of debt from mortgages and credit cards. But now the rainy days that nobody saved for may be setting in, and experts warn that many people may drown in debt if they lose their job. With an unexpected layoff notice, “a family that was doing OK at Christmas may all of a sudden be way under water,’’ says Teresa A....

It’s hard to know if today’s gloomy headlines are driving more people to drugs. But medical experts say reaching for meds isn’t always a wise idea. “If you don’t need it, don’t use it,” says Glen Hanson, the acting director of the National Institute on Drug Abuse. Spokespeople for the companies that make Xanax and Prozac agree, saying their drugs are not indicated for everyday stress and should be taken only in consultation with a doctor....

A year after skipping this event, Federer has returned to Dubai and has won a couple of matches on his way to the quarter-finals. However, both those wins have been far from convincing. In both his face-offs with Philipp Kohlschreiber and Fernando Verdasco, the 20-time Grand Slam winner inexplicably suffered a lapse, conceding the middle set before recovering to win in three. It’s a pattern Federer would like to get rid of....

With the exception of Stanley Cup Final matchups, the 3.27 metered market Nielsen rating for Chicago’s 5-3 victory was NBC’s highest overnight NHL rating, according to NBC Sports Group, and represented a bump from Blackhawks-Kings in 2014 (3.17).

These are the blessings of a career that has included covering 31 previous Final Fours, starting with 1988 in Kemper Arena where I got to watch Danny Manning with Kansas, Sean Elliott with Arizona, Stacey King with Oklahoma and Danny Ferry with Duke. I can’t see what I’ve seen and see what others are seeing now. Duke vs. North Carolina in the NCAA Tournament semifinals is not the biggest college basketball game ever played....

In fact, there are other things in the pipeline from the community that are helping to restore the once stellar reputation of this high octane franchise. There is currently work being done on a Duke Nukem restoration project, which aims to bring the 2001 game, a new entry that was in progress before it was changed into the doomed Duke Nukem Forever, into the gaming sphere. It will rebuild the early work that the studio was putting in at the time before it got scrapped, and there’s already been a pretty explosive trailer showing off what players can expect as and when it drops....

Pero Aida Domenech, su nombre real, tiene peso propio y no nos extraña nada que haya decidido también hacer un salto a las plataformas de streaming para mostrar su cara más humana. Aunque nos deja ver mucha parte de su día a día en las redes, todavía queda mucho por descubrir de la catalana. Pero vamos a lo más importante: ¿dónde puede verse Dulceida al desnudo? ¿Cuándo se estrena la docuserie de Dulceida: Dulceida al desnudo?...

The tournament will be staged at the picturesque NPR College ground at Natham. Three teams - India Red, India Blue and India Green - comprising a mix of experienced players and talented youngsters will battle it out in the 57th edition of the tournament, which would be played under lights with a pink ball. While the three round-robin matches would be four-day affairs, the final, to be held from September 4, would be played over five days....

Ten pairs of military-surplus boots, each capped with an army helmet and connected to each other by pneumatic actuators, stomped on a home-brewed, 50-foot-long steel bridge. The bridge sagged under the weight of the marching boots but didn’t resonate with enough force to collapse the bridge. In other words: myth busted. The experiment in question was performed for the entertaining new Discovery Channel weekly series “Mythbusters.” The concept is simple: a pair of curious and resourceful science guys wander the country road-testing the urban legends we’ve all heard and wondered about....

RELATED: 10 Ways The Elder Scrolls Could Be A Dungeons & Dragons 5e Campaign Setting In fact, Dungeon Masters (DMs) can become prone to creating bad villains. If DMs want to make a standout antagonist, they’ve got to avoid certain tropes and clichés to set their “bad guys” apart from generic monsters-of-the-session. However, how exactly should they avoid bad villains? 10 Copying Another Villain It’s one thing to use a villain as an inspiration for an original Big Bad, but it’s another thing entirely to just copy that character’s template....

RELATED: Dungeons And Dragons: Dark Alliance Review Bruenor Battlehammer is a formidable fighter capable of both taking hits and dishing them out. Even so, his stout build greatly his mobility in battle. With the aid of Feats, however, Bruenor can easily overcome this limitation to become an insurmountable force in combat. Though each Feat grants exceptional benefits, there are those that outshine all others. 10 Tough Feat Tree: The Anvil Minimal Level: 1 Description: 10% Max HP Bonus...

Right now, there’s very little information out about what those games actually are. Dungeons and Dragons: Dark Alliance was announced at the Game Awards earlier this month, but there’s been next to nothing shown of that thus far. Plus, Baldur’s Gate 3 is on its way from Larian Studios, the developer’s behind the Divinity series, though beyond those two games, there’s little in the way of information as to what fans can expect next....

A hallmark of any good DnD campaign is magic, it both suffuses many worlds of the DnD multiverse and grants PCs access to powerful attacks and useful utility spells. At the cornerstone of magic in these worlds are Wizards, inveterate seekers of magic and students of the arcane. A player may choose to create a Wizard with a wide range of motivations, but at the center of a Wizard’s quest is the acquisition of new spells and magic items....

For those that don’t know, the Beholder has been a monster in Dungeons and Dragons almost since the very beginning. The 1975 book Greyhawk introduced the Beholder, and it has been a staple in the Dungeons and Dragons vocabulary ever since. This creature is a floating mass of flesh, with one distinct, large eye on the center of the ball and several eyestalks protruding as well. Most adventurers know that these eye stalks are capable of shooting laser beams, each to a different effect, but not many know about the other bizarre things Beholders can do and how they can be utilized to the greatest effect in a campaign....

Since the franchise’s roots as a tabletop game in the 1970s, Dungeons and Dragons has blossomed into a multimedia juggernaut spawning video games, card games, and even an upcoming feature-length film. D&D has become a symbol of the gaming industry and has inspired many modern role-playing games like Worldwalker’s recent D&D-inspired title Wildermyth. Fans of the tabletop RPG have spent years learning the ins and outs of Fifth Edition and, now, Wizards of the Coast has officially announced the impending arrival of a new version....

Why specifically non-Latin languages? Many Latin-based languages like English, Spanish, Italian, and others share a similar alphabet and structure. Non-Latin languages, such as Korean, Arabic, Hebrew, etc., are much different and can confuse non-native speakers. As stated during its Duocon live stream, Duolingo’s goal is to make it easier and more intuitive for people to learn these more complicated alphabets. One of these new tools is a tab that appears for some languages, which displays a grid of characters from that alphabet....

The two-time reigning NBA Finals MVP wants no part of any association with the New York Knicks, either, though that has been a destination some consider a possibility for him. KD says enough. “I don’t think about that type of stuff,” Durant said. “I have nothing to do with the Knicks. I don’t know who traded (Kristaps) Porzingis. They got nothing to do with me, I’m trying to play basketball....

During the holiest week of the year for Christians, churchgoers across the country are hearing the language associated with Jesus’ suffering and death: atonement. This message mirrors one that we are now hearing from Congress around reparations for Black Americans because of the United States’ egregious human rights violations against them, from slavery to lynchings to Jim Crow Laws. There is enough momentum in the House of Representatives to pass H....

Day, a member at Muirfield Village, entered the week without a top-25 finish in the event. But he’s on track to demolish that stat after firing a 6-under 66 on Thursday, spurred by an eagle on the par-5 15th.
