Have you ever looked through the pages of Food & Wine or Bon Appetit and seen the photo spreads of people eating a great meal al fresco. There's a table set up outside in a field somewhere with a colorful striped tablecloth and matching napkins, candles and lights adorning umbrellas and fences and centerpieces made from fresh produce or flowers that look like they were picked that day. The food, of course, is laid out on beautiful platters and garnished just so. The people are smiling and happy and you wonder, "Who are these people? Who eats like that?"
Well, I'm happy to say that I've become one of those people. And I've also learned that there is nothing in this world that makes me happier than the time I spend cooking those meals, preparing that table and then sharing a wonderful evening with that wine and that food with friends and family.
And what makes those repasts even more enjoyable is when that meal becomes a collaborative effort. This weekend's repast involved my brother-in-law at the grill making ribs and chicken with mole sauce and mixing drinks; my sister in the garden cutting her flowers for the centerpeices and trying her hand at skillet cornbread; and me, in the kitchen, with a bunch of fresh produce from the local farmstand deciding on the best combination of flavors (I decided on a peach gazpacho; a watermelon, tomato and feta salad; and corn, tomatoes and red onions). It didin't hurt that we were at their beach home and it was a warm, star-filled summer night.
Was it perfect? Well, the cornbread was a little dry and the peach pie that someone brought for dessert tasted like it had been made from canned rather than the fresh local peaches currently in season. But it made me realize that behind those beautiful magazines there's probably some dry cornbread and some bland peach pie. And it still looks, and probably is, perfect.
So, yes, I'm one of those people. Envy me.

Greek Default Looms:Eurozone At Death's Door
by MIKE WHITNEY
"After almost two years of fighting to contain the region's debt crisis and providing the biggest share of three European bailouts, Chancellor Angela Merkel is laying the ground for what markets say is almost a sure thing: a Greek default."
– Bloomberg News
Greece is hurtling towards default and the doomsday scenario is beginning to unfold. The IMF, the G-7, and the ECB have all swung into full-crisis mode and are prepared to do whatever they can to minimize the collateral damage. But the shock to the financial system and the fragile recovery is bound to be substantial. A default would have dire knock-on effects for banks in Germany, France and the UK that are presently holding billions in Greek debt. Many of them will face excruciating restructuring or, perhaps, bankruptcy. And the banks and financial institutions in the US aren't off the hook either, not by a long shot. Take a look at this excerpt from an article in the Wall Street Journal:
"……a European failure is bound to have huge ramifications for U.S. and global financial markets. If there is any doubt on this score, all one need do is consider the U.S. financial system's massive exposure to European banks. In a recent survey, Fitch Ratings Inc. found that, as of the end of July, the U.S. money-market industry still had over a trillion dollars of direct exposure to European banks—or roughly 45% of money markets' overall assets. The Bank for International Settlement reports that American banks have loan exposure to German and French banks of more than $1.2 trillion.
"This overexposure to the European banking system should be keeping Mr. Obama awake at night. That's because those European banks, in turn, are all too exposed to the $2 trillion sovereign-debt market for Greece, Ireland, Portugal and Spain—and they have yet to recognize the large loan losses that they are bound to experience on their holdings of sovereign debt." ("The Euro Threat to Obama", Desmond Lachman, Wall Street Journal)
A trillion here, a trillion there; pretty soon you're talking real money.
The Rest…HERE

as always, a song to fit my mood. this is freestyle's first song, and it was a huge hit. the song's called "before i let you go"
I can still remember like yesterday
We were so in love in a special way
And knowing that your love
will make me feel oh so right
But now I feel lost,
don't know what to do
Each and every day I think of you
Holdin' back the tears,
I'm trying with all my might
Because you've gone and left me standing
All alone
And I know I've got to face tomorrow
On my own
But baby....
Before I let you go
I want to say I love you
I hope that you're listenin'
'Coz it's true,baby
You'll be forever in my heart
And I know that no one else will do,
yeah So before I let you goI want to say
.....I love you
I wish that it could be just like before
I know I could've given you so much more
Even though you know
I'd given you all my love
I miss your smile,
I miss your kiss
Each and every day I reminisce
'Coz baby it's you
That I'm always dreaming of...
Repeat Refrain
Repeat Chorus (except last 3 words)
Coz Letting love go is never easy
But I love you so
That's why I set you free
And I know
Somehow I'll find a way
To leave it all behind me
Guess it wasn't meant to be
But baby.........
Repeat chorus (except last 3 words)
So before I let you go
I want to say.......
I love you .

cool logo and it goes great with black
Happy Valley, UT
Awesome purchase. I have really thick wavy hair and a lot of hats struggle to fit because of how crazy my hair can be but this hat fits great. I am a girl and most boy hats tend to be bigger so that might be part of it; however, it even fits when I've decided to straighten my hair and my cranium is back to normal human size (snapback = very convenient). The material of the hat feels durable and all around it just looks very nice. I am extremely pleased with my purchase.

This is a quality cap. The blue of the logo looks great against the black of the cap.

American Library Association (ALA), in conjunction with the University of Maryland Center for library and Information Innovation, recently released preliminary findings on how libraries coped last year during the economic crisis. The study, printed in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette yesterday, concluded that while libraries throughout the country were financially bruised by the downward economic impact, the demand for their services rose, especially among those unemployed.
The Birmingham Public Library is one example of library institutions rising to the challenge of the recession, offering electronic tools for those directly hit by the flailing economy. From the online database to the access of types of services offered, BPL remains standing on the frontlines of the federal financial struggle. Patrons are encouraged to take advantage of free computer classes, financial workshops and print resources to find employment or better themselves for other job opportunities.
Larra Clark, the ALA's research project manager, commented, "A lot of libraries depend on local funding. … Libraries have been first responders in this financial crisis."
She added, "But 21st century libraries can't meet demands with a 20th century funding."
But despite any lack or flux of funding, BPL unceasingly strives to meet the demands and needs of the community, especially those who need these services most.
For more information on the free classes, workshops or other resources offered by the BPL, you can access the BPL Web site, the Event Keeper or contact your local branches.

"Thoughts for food," as he called it, could not be a better introduction for his keynote.
JP Rangaswami, renowned author and technologist, gave the audience an inspiring talk on the power of information, and how we should use it to extend our knowledge and the understanding we have about our environment. Born and raised in Calcutta, India, JP has had many lives. Trained in Economics and Statistics, he specialized in developmental economics and became an information technology expert.
In his talk JP shared a fundamental concept that in his own understanding could change the way people interact with each other and share information.
What if we were looking at information as if it were food? In a natural way we understand that as vital food is for life, information should holds the same role. Information should be the root to grow people as individuals and as part of an organisation. When you think about food, you think about ingredients. When those ingredients are combined in the right way and at the right time, the outcome becomes a successful recipe. In every civilization food was a key factor to development. Our civilization is no exception--except that we've added something else: information.
Information is similar to food at it needs step-by-step processing to be efficient and better used. JP describes the processing of information as if it was similar to what we do with food.
- Cultivation: Human civilizations survived because for centuries humans were able to provide food and shelter to their peers as well as themselves. JP argues that even if food stays an ubiquitous conditions, in modern society mankind tends to redefine this equation as "information and settlement. As we farmed food for centuries, we now farm information.
- Preparation: Sourcing information is similar to sourcing food. The volume of data available increases at such a fast pace that technologies helping to collect, store, and analyse became critical.
- Consumption: New devices such as tablets and mobile phones completely change the way we consume information. Mobile devices are probably one of the most important steps in the evolution of computing, and the access to these technologies is increasing. As food became purchased and consumed from supermarkets, for the better or not, information will use technology more and more to facilitate consumption anywhere and at any time.
If you begin to think of all the information that you consume the way you think of food, what would you do differently?

Currently the owner of Aeon Gallery (Illinois) and Arkane Ink (Illinois) he divides his time betweem his businesses, painting, tattooing and family. While he seems to enjoy a classical aesthetic and figurative approach to oil painting, the main focus is always to explore the magickal or occult formulae from within the frame of the human figure and layer the underlying message in a way that can be understood by everyone, albeit differently. While enjoying limited notoriety from his small but distinguished following, the socially reclusive painter strives mainly to maintain the integrity of the message existing just beyond the canvas veil.

Attitudes to Drug Use
|User Information
|Some evaluations have been concerned with attitudes to use. Attitudes are dispositions to evaluate an object either positively or negatively. In general, while attitudes are important context measures, they do not predict actual behaviour very well. They should not be used as a substitute for measures of behaviour (prevalence).
The study by Harmon (1993) examined the effectiveness of the DARE programme in South Carolina, by comparing 341 fifth grade students to a comparable control group. Significant differences were found for belief in pro-social norms, association with drug using peers, positive peer association, attitudes to substance use and assertiveness. No differences were found however, on tobacco and alcohol use, in the last year or during the last month. The You and Your School Questionnaire were used to measure DARE objectives, and other factors associated with drug use. The questionnaire consists of 10 scales including Belief in pro-social norms, Social Integration, Commitment to school, Rebellious behaviour, Peer drug modelling, Attitudes against substance use, Attachment to school, Self-esteem, Assertiveness and Positive peer modelling.
This study was concerned with three major matters. The first was the extent to which peer group influence was significant using a longitudinal design so that selective friendship would be not be a factor. The second has to do with the precise identification of the peer group, particularly the importance of close friends vs. the wider peer group. The third question was the relative importance of peer group behaviour vs. peer group approval. The results based on 3,000 Irish school pupils showed that in relation to initiation to drug use, the most relevant group were best friends and that the perceived drug use of this person was the most potent influence.
The study would be of value for summative evaluation in that it would indicate some items for measuring peer influence that might of interest if the focus of the prevention programme was on peer influence.

WASHINGTON � The tattered Torah scroll fragments, Bibles and other religious texts found in a flooded Baghdad basement 10 years ago testify to a once-thriving Jewish population that's all but disappeared from Iraq.
Recovered from the Iraqi intelligence headquarters and shipped to the United States for years of painstaking conservation was a literary trove of more than 2,700 books and tens of thousands of documents that are being digitized and put online.
A sample of that treasure is being displayed for the first time this fall at the National Archives in Washington.
''One thing that is particularly touching about them, or particularly interesting about them, is that they connect to a community that no longer lives in Iraq,'' said Doris Hamburg, the National Archives' director of preservation programs.
The exhibit of two dozen items offers a rare glimpse into a Jewish population that dates to antiquity but dispersed after Israel was created in 1948. But the decision to return the collection to Iraq after its display here has raised bitter feelings among Iraqi Jews in the United States and stirred debate about whom the materials belong to.
Iraqi Jews consider the artifacts part of their heritage and say a nation that decades ago drove out its Jewish citizens doesn't deserve to recover sacred objects of an exiled population.
Some also fear there's no constituency of Jews remaining in Iraq to ensure the books are maintained, especially in a country still riven by violent conflict.
A petition circulating among Iraqi Jews seeks to prevent the materials from being returned and Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., made a similar public statement to the State Department last week.
Some have written newspaper opinion pieces urging the items to be shared with the exiled Jewish community and have discussed burying torn Torah scroll pieces, as is customary for holy texts that are no longer usable.
''The fact is these were archives that belonged to the Jewish community in Iraq,'' said Gina Waldman, president of Jews Indigenous to the Middle East and North Africa and a Libyan Jew. ''They need to be returned to their rightful owners. They were looted from the Jewish community and they rightfully should be returned.''
State Department officials have expressed confidence that the Iraqi government will make the materials accessible in an educational exhibit.
The materials will be housed in Iraq's national library and archives, with the goal of helping future generations understand the contributions Iraqi Jews made and the repression that they endured, said Saad Eskander, director of the Iraqi institution.
Though an adviser to the Minister of Tourism and Antiquities said there were no current plans to exhibit the materials and that the public and researchers would be able to see them online, Eskander said an exhibition would happen either next year or 2015.

15 Apartments on TV That We Wished We Owned
After our post on dream movie apartments generated so much discussion, it occurred to us that another installment was in order. Television is just as responsible as films are for our unrealistic apartment fantasies. Sunken living rooms, hardwood floors, and skyline views were all common fixtures in the homes of our favorite characters — rarely did we see a protagonist wrangle with poor water pressure or get stuck with windows that faced brick walls. With that in mind, we've complied a list of the best apartments on television, from the Bass-Van der Woodsens' swanky uptown abode to Fraiser's chic Seattle sprawl. Share your own picks in the comments.
Frasier's apartment on Fraiser
Frasier's Seattle apartment makes living in the Emerald City look far more straight-laced than we imagined. While we could do without the psychiatrist's restrained modernist touches, we are suckers for his apartment's interior architectural shapes. Plus, Frasier's view of Seattle's skyline is unreal — literally: The panoramas were constructed by the show's producers after they decided the Space Needle should appear more prominently. In reality, no one in Seattle could have a view like that.

I usually will write about how to make money online or list's of top earnings for top bloggers. But, in this case and this concept, I am showing the power of looks generating money. It's very simple actually
Good looks + Fame= More earnings ....right? OF course!
Simple formula, obviously.
Here is the 3 main reason's:
1. Better looking celebrities get more attention, therefore, they get more modeling job's.
2. The more a celebrity looks like a certain role in a movie, generally, the higher chance of them getting that part in a new movie, such as, Will Smith in the movie, "Ali."
3. And last, but furthest from the least is, good looks attract people in all generation's of societies.
Take a look at this list of the top "hottest actor's" and see for your own eye's why you see these actors on this list, as well as the top movie's ever made. As well as magazine's, commercial's, people's social network account's, the list is endless! And do not be shocked if you see multiple actor's that you are thinking of right now, as you're reading this article!

While acute pain is a normal sensation triggered in the nervous system to alert you to possible injury and the need to take care of yourself, chronic pain persists and the pain signals keep firing in the nervous system for weeks, months, even years.
There may have been an initial mishap — sprained back, serious infection, or there may be an ongoing cause of pain — arthritis, cancer, ear infection, but some people suffer chronic pain in the absence of any past injury or evidence of body damage and many chronic pain conditions affect older adults.
Common chronic pain complaints include headache, low back pain, cancer pain, arthritis pain, neurogenic pain (pain resulting from damage to the peripheral nerves or to the central nervous system itself), psychogenic pain (pain not due to past disease or injury or any visible sign of damage inside or outside the nervous system). A person may have two or more co-existing chronic pain conditions. Such conditions can include chronic fatigue syndrome, endometriosis, fibromyalgia, inflammatory bowel disease, interstitial cystitis, temporomandibular joint dysfunction, and vulvodynia. It is not known whether these disorders share a common cause.
The pain experience can be functionally divided into acute and chronic types. Acute and chronic pain are due to different physiological mechanisms and thus require different treatments. In this document, we review theories of pain and examine the physiology of pain, with emphasis on the types and their manifestations.
Pathways of Pain
Nociceptors, or pain receptors, are free nerve endings that respond to painful stimuli. Nociceptors are found throughout all tissues except the brain, and they transmit information to the brain. They are stimulated by biological, electrical, thermal, mechanical, and chemical stimuli.
Pain perception occurs when these stimuli are transmitted to the spinal cord and then to the central areas of the brain. Pain impulses travel to the dorsal horn of the spine, where they synapse with dorsal horn neurons in the substantia gelatinosa and then ascend to the brain.
The basic sensation of pain occurs at the thalamus, it continues to the limbic system (emotional center) and the cerebral cortex, where pain is perceived and interpreted (Figure 1).
Two types of fibers are involved in pain transmission. The large A delta fibers produce sharp well-defined pain, called "fast pain" or "first pain," typically stimulated by a cut, an electrical shock, or a physical blow. Transmission through the A fibers is so fast that the body's reflexes can actually respond faster than the pain stimulus, resulting in retraction of the affected body part even before the person perceives the pain.
After this first pain, the smaller C fibers transmit dull burning or aching sensations, known as "second pain." The C fibers transmit pain more slowly than the A fibers do because the C fibers are smaller and lack a myelin sheath. The C fibers are the ones that produce constant pain.
According to the gate control theory, stimulation of the fibers that transmit nonpainful stimuli can block pain impulses at the gate in the dorsal horn and this is the basis for neurostimualtion treatment.
For example, if touch receptors (A beta fibers) are stimulated, they dominate and close the gate. This ability to block pain impulses is the reason a person is prone to immediately grab and massage the foot when he or she stubs a toe.
The touch blocks the transmission and duration of pain impulses, and this capacity has implications for the use of touch and massage for some patients in pain.
Chronic Pain
Chronic pain is prolonged pain, persisting beyond the expected normal healing time.
This characterization was previously the official definition of chronic pain according to the International Association for the Study of Pain. The term chronic is still widely used, although many pain experts now think that all forms of chronic pain are variations of the same phenomenon and should be labeled specifically, such as neuropathic pain.
Chronic pain can be continuous (eg, arthritis) or intermittent (eg, migraines). Chronic pain is poorly understood and is more complex and difficult to manage than is acute pain. Understanding chronic pain requires recognizing that the nervous system is not hardwired. If it were hardwired, each noxious stimulus, such as a needle stick, would elicit exactly the same nervous system response at the same intensity every time, but pain is much more complex, involving affective and cognitive traits of the person who experiences it.
Melzack and Wall showed that repeated stimulation of C fibers results in progressive buildup of electrical response in the CNS, a phenomenon called windup, somewhat analogous to the effect of winding up a child's windup toy. The more the toy is wound up, the faster and longer the toy will run.
This persistent stimulation of peripheral nerves winds up the CNS, leading to intensified stimulation of nerve fibers that is referred to as non nociceptive pain.
The concept of windup is crucial to understanding chronic pain. Windup is the reason pain can continue long after the expected recovery time for an injury or a pain-initiating event.
Patients with chronic pain may not have the behaviors associated with acute pain. Additionally, autonomic nervous system responses (eg, nausea, vomiting, pallor, sweating) decrease with prolonged pain.
The body's fight-or-flight reaction, which normally occurs with acute pain, does not occur because the sympathetic nervous system has adapted to persistent pain impulses.
Understanding chronic pain, therefore, requires listening to the person's description of it, because expected physical symptoms may not be present. Unfortunately, because of the lack of objective evidence of pain, many patients who report chronic pain are viewed as hypochondriacs and malingerers by health care professionals.
Some evidence indicates that chronic pain and depression share the same physiological pathway.
Neuropathic Pain
Chronic, often intractable pain due to injury to the peripheral nerves is known as neuropathic pain. According to Devor and Seltzer, this pain is a paradox.
Injury to peripheral nerves should deaden sensation, much as cutting a telephone wire leaves the phone line dead, but the opposite occurs in neuropathic pain.
Injury to the peripheral nerves can cause spontaneous paresthesias, numbness, pain with movement, tenderness of a partly denervated body part, and pain that is electric shock–like, burning, shooting, or tingling.
Abnormally amplified signals in the CNS due to windup result in central sensitization, which is an increased sensitivity of spinal neurons. Central sensitization causes allodynia (pain from a stimulus that does not normally produce pain, such as touch) and hyperalgesia (a heightened pain response to a stimulus that is painful).
Is there any treatment?
Medications, acupuncture, local electrical stimulation, and brain stimulation, as well as surgery, are some treatments for chronic pain. Psychotherapy, relaxation and medication therapies, biofeedback, and behavior modification may also be employed to treat chronic pain.
Spinal cord stimulation (neurostimulation) can be an effective alternative or adjunct treatment to other therapies to manage chronic back and/or leg pain and in our hospital we use Medtronic devices because offers a portfolio of spinal cord neurostimulators that deliver targeted chronic pain management.
Medtronic has been innovating in neurostimulator technology for more than 30 years. In that time, over 250,000 patients have benefited from spinal cord stimulation and provide clinicians and patients with reliable, best-in-class pain management systems and service.
If you need a medical opinion about this treatment, please send a short resume of your history disease to firstname.lastname@example.com

By: Henry J. Fromage (Two Beers) –
The temptation is always there to avoid a Roman Polanski film, especially when it touches on sexuality whatsoever, so when I learned his latest was a BDSM-tinged French-language two-hander I figured I could safely skip it. Then I watched it anyway, because I don't even know how my brain works.
One theory.
Venus in Fur is about an actress (Emmanuelle Seigner) who shows up late to an audition for the titular 19th century BDSM classic, but cajoles the director (Mathieu Amalric) into giving her a chance anyway. As the evening goes on and they dig deeper into the play, the lines between fiction and reality begin to blur.
A Toast
Roman Polanski, for all his alleged/obvious personal faults, is simply a master filmmaker, and right from his spectacular, gothic tracking shot into the theater, he has the audience in the palm of his hand. Throughout the film, the pairing of camerawork making this static setting dynamic and the script twisting viewer expectations at will show his vision and control.
The story is sly, dark, funny, sexy, and shocking in turn, but at its core it's about power dynamics- sadist/masochist, director/actress, male/female- and how they mix with and influence art, literature, sexuality, and society. It's a heady brew of ideas, made even more complex by the constantly shifting plotting.
And the results are just as tasty.
This is purely a two actor show, and both Seigner and Amalric play their parts perfectly. Amalric is a tangle of insecurities and repressed desires, and Seigner plays her irreverent actress, 19th century objet du désir, and avenging angel roles with aplomb, unraveling Amalric to the spool as she does so. The third act where this all plays out is simply fucking nuts, and I loved it. Don't ever let it be said that Polanski has run out of ideas.
Beer Two
The novel/play "within the play" doesn't really justify its central status. I would undoubtedly be bored to tears if I had to watch it, although someone with more interest in BDSM might think differently.
I'm more of a plus-size sex swing guy myself.
Venus in Fur is a beguiling, darkly funny battle of the sexes and stage all at once. It's also bonkers, and I love me some bonkers French cinema.
How could you not?
Drinking Game
Take a Drink: for the "fur"
Take a Drink: for phallic symbols
Take a Drink: whenever they slip back into the play
Take a Drink: for creepysexy vibes
Do a Shot: for Seigner's Anchorman moment
Do a Shot: for whatever the hell that ending was

A Mother's heart is a deep ocean of thoughts and reflections. As time passes the waters run ever so deep. It is my endeavor to share from my heart the lessons learned over the course of my life in raising six children in hopes to encourage and inspire Mom's of all ages but also as a record for my children as they are now raising their own children.
Even in my sunset years I am continuing to learn and develope new things as my life progresses into furthering my life's ambitions. I hope to be an inspiration to all women everywhere, to inspire you with the thoughts that you are so much more than the world would have you to think and that you can do much more than you may have thought possible. We are never too old to learn. Life is a constant learning process.

For years I thought of Mother's Day as a depressing day. I would go to the greeting card display and browse through all the wonderful sweet sentiments of what a mother means. The lovely pictures painted in the words were so foreign to me. So many writers describe this character of Mother as having powers to healing broken hearts, mending wounds, and giving encouragement when no one else believed in them. I wondered if all that was imaginary. Does such a woman truly exist or was this just like the fairytales where everything ends with happily ever after but we know those stories are just not true.
Mother's Day,
Mother's Love,

Aww! I somehow missed that you had a blog. Sorry. :( But this is such a sweet story!!! How neat that you have a MOW route, and that Lila CAN help. :) I agree with what you said. Starting them early helps set the tone of what is expected too. :)The "fun" becomes their routines in life. :) Good job mama.ReplyDelete
I love the second pic of her climbing the stairs, no hands, and eagerly heading for the door.ReplyDelete
Compare this with kids eagerly heading up the stairs trick or treating. Thinking only of receiving. This is ever so much better.
Way to go to both of you!!

I knew she would be loved by all. You made their day taking her along. She is a blessing to all.ReplyDelete
I imagine Lila feeds their spirits well :o)ReplyDelete
Imagine how amazing this world would be if we have more folks with a heart of gold and a smile that matches your Lila :~) One child/person can make a difference...ReplyDelete
Love the photos of Lila helping out. That is such a wonderful thing to teach her.ReplyDelete

Tighten up loose skin and
remove cellulite after liposuction
Life after liposuction
Liposuction and related procedures always leave you with looser skin and more prominent cellulite
Liposuction is useful but also problematic. It is sometimes the only method to remove large amounts of stubborn fat from one specific area and/or without diet and exercise. However, liposuction and all its variant procedures almost always leave behind saggy skin and residual fat lumps and makes cellulite more prominent.
It's in the nature of liposuction
This is an unavoidable result of removing fat tissue from underneath the skin. By removing the fat, excess skin appears as loose and saggy. Skin contracts very slowly on it's own and in most cases it never regains its pre-overweight shape and tone after the removal of fat by lipo surgery. If you had tight skin to begin with you may not notice such a big difference, but you will notice a clear difference in skin laxity. If you had already loose skin and had "lipo", then skin will look very loose and saggy.
radiofrequency, ultrasound or laser-assisted liposuction
does not tighten skin, it "scar-tissues" it
Bodytite, vaser and smart lipo procedures (i.e. "mini-liposuction" with a smaller cannula equipped with a radiofrequency, ultrasound or laser tip, respectively) claim to tighten up skin after the removal (smaller amounts) of fat.
However, this skin hardening effect is not true skin tightening. Skin tightening refers to more collagen and more elastin produced by more collagen cells (fibroblasts), i.e. skin tightening tissue with an actual functional role in the body. Because this is real, alive collagen tissue, it remains on your body long-term.
On the other hand, the skin hardening produced by those types of "assisted" liposuction is nothing more than deliberate scar tissue (fibrosis), formed by literally burning the skin from the inside and sticking it to the underlying tissues. Because this is scar tissue, i.e. dead, non-functional collagen, it is quite short-lived (less than a year). These technologies do not solve the problem of loose skin after liposuction, as they cause "scar tissue-ing", not real, functional skin tightening.
This "scar tissue-ing" inadvertently leads to difficulty with movement, pain and discomfort for a few weeks or months, until all tissue adhesions are broken down. Furthermore, all liposuction procedures often result in palpable, quite often visible scar tissue hard lumps that may remain visible and palpable for two years or more. Very strong massage can help with adhesion removal and hard lump removal after liposuction, but several sessions are needed (typically 10-20 for good results). Please read our post-lipo rescue guide here).
Residual fat pockets after lipo
Furthermore, quite often small pockets of fat not removed by the surgeon remain on the body after liposuction. In some cases the surgeon agrees to do a "touch up" and remove those fat pockets, but this is not always possible, especially if you had your liposuction procedure abroad, if you are very sensitive after surgery or if you already have a lot of scar tissue from surgery. Moreover, residual fat removal touch-ups are not always successful.
Cellulite becomes more evident after lipo
Finally, due to the excess, saggy skin after lipo, cellulite becomes more evident. Liposuction does not make cellulite worse per se, but it makes it look worse, due to the removal of the underlying fat.
Liposuction can never remove cellulite
At this point it is important to clarify that, contrary to popular belief, liposuction and mini-liposuction procedures such as "smart lipo", "bodytite" and "vaser" CANNOT remove cellulite. This is because cellulite is fat INSIDE the skin itself (hypodermal fat), while liposuction removes fat UNDER the skin (subcutaneous fat). Because cellulite is an inherent part of the skin structure it can not be surgically removed without removing the skin itself, so all cellulite treatments are by definition non-surgical (if anyone promises you cellulite reduction with liposuction, vaser, smart lipo or bodytite, they are clearly trying to mislead you).
Surgical cellulite removal is even more problematic
There are two groups of two surgical techniques for cellulite, and all four are problematic, as you will see below: even if you manage to effectively remove cellulite with them, you will need post-surgery treatments to reduce swelling, scar tissue and skin looseness. In fact, the cost for those treatments can easily be the same as the cost of surgery itself...
After subcision-style cellulite surgery you really need skin tightening
There are two surgical techniques for cellulite removal that work by removing the collagen fibres (retinaculae, sometimes erroneously called septae) that anchor skin to deeper tissues: subcision and celfina. These collagen anchors, together with the enlarged fat globules and water retention, cause the cellulite mattress appearance.
However, those anchoring collagen fibres are there for a reason: to keep skin attached to underlying tissues and maintain skin firmness. By undercutting those anchoring fibres with subcision or celfina, you replace one evil with another, i.e. you replace cellulite with jelly-like skin looseness / flabbiness. This can actually look worse than cellulite, especially on women with looser skin. Only very firm skin will genuinely benefit from this procedure (same as liposuction).
Furthermore, both these techniques can only be practically applied on a few dozens of the larger collagen anchors that are found in the hypodermis and cause the large cellulite "bumps". It is practically impossible to remove the hundreds or thousands of smaller cellulite bumps that are found in the lower part of the dermis with these methods. So these techniques do half the job and you still need non-invasive cellulite reduction for the smaller bumps. And of course, you also need skin tightening to correct the resulting skin laxity, which can easily cost as much as the surgery itself. So do your research and don't fall for the hype.
burning the skin from the inside / replacing cellulite with scar tissue
The other two cellulite surgical procedures (cellulaze and cellutite) attempt to burn (euphemistically, coagulate) the skin from inside with a laser or radiofrequency tipped cannula. However, as with laser/radiofrequency assisted liposuction, the burned tissue that is produced is not functional collagen tissue, it is dead, hardened scar tissue. This scar tissue is quite often excessive and may look much worse than the original cellulite it replaced, with pronounced hard bumps, much larger and much harder than those of cellulite. Again, this is not skin tightening, it is literally "scar tissue-ing". It offers little and the scar tissue bumps may prove impossible to remove, lasting for years after surgery.
What would I personally do?
"Knowing what I know after all these years and all the clients I have seen, if I needed to surgically remove fat, I would have normal liposuction or mini-lipo (without laser or ultrasound) and then follow it up with a course of 6-12x treatments for skin tightening, residual fat removal and cellulite removal. For excessive stomach fat with hanging skin I would pick the best surgeon possible and have a tummy tuck/abdominoplasty (don't do a tummy tuck on the cheap, you will regret it).
In addition to those, I would ideally have to also allow for 6-12 massage sessions for quick recovery and scar minimisation immediately after surgery and for the next 56 days. And that's before the skin tightening treatments, mentioned above.
(If you think that the only cost of the surgery is the surgery itself, think again...)
For cellulite, it's a no-brainer. I would not touch any of the four surgical cellulite removal methods with a bargepole and would instead have 6-12x sessions of strong radiofrequency, if possible combined with other technologies, such as ultrasound and non-injection mesotherapy with concentrated natural actives.
And practising what we preach, this is what we offer at LipoTherapeia."
Georgios Tzenichristos, LipoTherapeia's director
Skin tightening and cellulite removal
after cosmetic surgery
Cooled, high-power, monopolar radiofrequency:
the strongest skin tightening / anti-cellulite technology known today
Thankfully, technology can be used to tighten/lift the skin naturally and to remove cellulite on women after liposuction. It is widely established today that the only skin tightening treatment that works, barring surgery, is cooled, high intensity, resistive, monopolar radiofrequency (the low power, bipolar radiofrequency treatments you see on fake "before and after photos" on Instagram performed by mobile therapists are just a waste of time - no good radiofrequency machine is portable).
This type of radiofrequency focuses on the dermis and hypodermis, where the skin's large collagen structures and cellulite fat are located. It helps tighten up the skin, reduce residual fat after lipo, boost circulation and remove cellulite, all at the same time.
It is also widely accepted that highly concentrated extracts of centella asiatica, forskolin, caffeine, hydroxyproline and ascorbic acid (vitamin C) are some of the strongest skin firming/anti-cellulite natural actives available (low purity or low concentration actives don't work). Injection-free mesotherapy can help skin absorb those actives 500% more effectively and thereby can assist with cellulite/fat removal and skin firming, but only if a highly concentrated mix of several natural active ingredients is used.
And high-power ultrasound cavitation can help break down cellulite fatty deposits and cellulite by vibrating cellulite fat cells and literally bursting them up via a process called cavitation.
Meso-CRF® Body
Deep Tissue Radiofrequency™ + Ultrasound + Injection-free mesotherapy with multiple natural actives
Meso-CRF® Body combines all these three technologies, at the same time, thereby offering maximum results at minimum cost and at the least possible time. In addition to cellulite removal and skin tightening, Meso-CRF® also has a mild beneficialeffect on stretch marks, so you get a combined benefit by the use of this technology.
Meso-CRF® Body is provided with a treatment gel-cream which comprises several high quality, active ingredients in high concentrations and specific to the needs of women with cellulite and skin laxity after liposuction: hyaluronic acid, gotu kola / centella asiatica, hydroxyproline, ascorbic acid, caffeine, forskolin, retinol and multiple other actives. The combination of three technologies and multiple, high quality, high purity, high concentration active ingredients aims to fight cellulite, skin looseness offer the best chance to reduce cellulite and boost skin tightening, in a natural, non-invasive way.
For full information on all the aspects of the group of Meso-CRF® Body treatments click on the link below.
Meso-CRF® Body | Turmeric for emphasis on fibrosis & cellulite
For post-liposuction patients with a lot of fibrosis / scar tissue, we prefer to use curcumin as the "signature" active ingredient for our post-lipo treatments. Curcumin, the main active in turmeric, is a well-researched antifibrotic. You don't need to know or decide now which Meso-CRF® treatment you need. We will decide what's the best for you on your first session, after your assessment and provide the appropriate treatment.
Meso-CRF® Body | Centella for emphasis on skin looseness
For post-liposuction patients with a lot of skin looseness, we prefer to use centella asiatica as the "signature" active ingredient for our post-lipo treatments. centella asiatica is known to be a potent skin tightening active. You don't need to know or decide now which Meso-CRF® treatment you need. We will decide what's the best for you on your first session, after your assessment and provide the appropriate treatment.

Post-liposuction rescue guide
Why is liposuction aftercare needed?
As with all surgery, aftercare treatments are essential after all types of liposuction (after liposuction, liposculpture, abdominoplasty, vaser, smart lipo, bodytite, cellutite, cellfina and cellulaze), even if liposuction is performed by a very skilled surgeon. This is because pain and swelling always follow any intrusive procedure. The following side effects typically occur:
Loose skin
Excessive skin hardening
Scar tissue formation / bumps
Lumps of fat left unremoved
Skin adhesion onto the underlying tissue, which leads to movement restriction
How to reduce swelling and hard lumps after liposuction
with progressively stronger massage
The recommended treatments differ depending on the timeline after surgery. Here is a short list:
Day 3-21: Focusing on pain, swelling and tissue healing. During the first 2-3 weeks post-lipo aftercare treatments should initially be gentle and progressively become stronger and aim to minimise pain and swelling and prevent excessive scar tissue from forming. Mild lymphatic drainage massage by hand or with special electro-lymphatic drainage equipment is needed in the first few days after any liposuction surgery. A firmer massage - but not too strong - must be applied from the second week onwards.
Day 21-56: Focusing on scar tissue breakdown and cellulite reduction. From the third week onwards treatment can become progressively more vigorous: stronger lymphatic stimulation massage is preferred to the fluffy MLD variety used the first three weeks. In addition to reducing water retention, stronger massage also helps with the breakdown of scar tissue / hard bumps* that typically form after lipo surgery and uncouple skin stuck on underlying tissue and increase range of movement. Pressotherapy for lymphatic drainage can also be used during that time.
Day 56+: After about 8 weeks you can start having a strong radiofrequency / ultrasound / electro-mesotherapy treatment to more effectively break down leftover fat and cellulite and tighten up the skin.
(Please note that we do NOT offer scar tissue/fibrosis removal after liposuction anymore. It is very stressful, as patients feel desperate for quick improvement and it also requires a lot of sessions, which, after forking out thousands of pounds for the botched surgery, most people are unwilling to pay for. The result is pressuring the therapist to produce miracles in 3-6 sessions, when quite often 20 sessions are needed. Not a very rewarding job, especially when you are pressured to correct with £300 the complications of a £5,000 botched surgery. Thanks but no thanks.)
A good, multi-ingredient cellulite cream can be of help
A good anti-cellulite cream, i.e. a cream that contains anti-inflammatory, circulation/lymph drainage-enhancing and lipolytic ingredients, can also offer valuable help with recovery after liposuction, not just with cellulite, and it can be applied throughout the different stages of recovery. Cream application can start immediately, as long as contact with the portals (cannula insertion points) is avoided while the wounds are still open.

You know, in my original post about your pants being rolled up and out I thought, and hoped, it was a one time thing. Yesterday I wrote something about you for another site and was looking for a 'free' none copy righted picture I could add to it. I came across this:
"Dear Keith" , that started this whole Dear Keith nonsense. It frightens me that I am now aware this appears to happen on a regular basis. Believe me, I know what its like to have issues with pants, I'm 5'1" on a good day, even "short fit" womans pants are a good 3 inches to long. If you wont take my offer and call up my grandma, I have another option for you. Send me your pants, I will hem them FOR FREE. Hell, throw them in a box and send them collect, I'll pay it all. You make approximately 4.2 million dollars more then me a year, but I don't care. Also to prove my point, I believe you and Jeff Tambellini are the same height. Take a look at his jeans, they appear to be rolled as well..but IN..so nobody sees it. Don't make me change my blog to Play Me That Tambellini, because someone else already praises his greatness enough, and it doesn't have the same ring to it that Play Me That Ballard does.
Ryan Kesler has done a good job with his ' interview bombing' lately, don't you agree?. This is your time to step up and do something. You don't have to walk around with no shirt on behind people in interviews, just something. Out do Kesler somehow. I mean yes, it's funny you offered to pledge $1 towards Tanner in the scrabble tournament, and that you attempted a prank on Kevin Bieksa but come on, I need something else to talk about, something else to toot your horn about.
Sincerely a girl who knows your pant troubles,

This post has not been edited by the GamesBeat staff. Opinions by GamesBeat community writers do not necessarily reflect those of the staff.
Sci-fi. Be it in novels, games or some other art form, sci-fi has been remarkable at predicting future technology which once-upon-a-time seemed completely impossible. One of my old posts last year had been asking for a makeover in light of new technological developments and so this is the nice and shiny updated GamesBeat version. Perhaps for my next GamesBeat article I can use my brain and come up with something new and terrifically thought engaging for the community. I can do that, yes. Today however we are going to look at Mass Effect's omni-tool. I will get to that in a moment right after I discuss…
The present
Funnily enough in the original blog I speculated that Apple would create the "iArm". If rumours are anything to go by, Apple now have a huge project to develop the iWatch. This is still no way as cool as an iArm (what sort of silly name is iWatch?!), but if Apple plan on this being their next big thing then chances are it will be very good. To clarify, I mean good in the sense that it will be a new intuitive way to access the data you want. We all know the iPad is simply a larger iPhone without the phone, and yet simply by having a larger screen gives it an entirely new user experience. Likewise the iWatch will likely be not that much different to the iPhone (regardless of whether it streams from iDevices or runs its own full iOS) and yet the ability to check directions, do a google search and, er, check the time by looking down at your arm is very likely to work. No, I do not think Apple are the Gods of technological innovation, but they are good at taking something which already exists and making it user friendly. This time it does feel like they are jumping on the bandwagon a little bit. The huge support the e-ink Pebble watch got from crowd-sourcing demonstrates an existing eager market for such devices. The reason not everyone yet has one is indicative to me that such devices have not yet been perfected for the mass-public. Cynically we could also say that no such device have yet been given a large enough marketing budget. You can make a great product but without the marketing it just won't sell. Yes I am looking at you HTC!
I am here to read about the omni-tool!
Eh yes, let us get back on track. The focus of this article is the omni-tool; the piece of kit which is used repeatedly in the game Mass Effect. These devices are a computer microframe packed with holographic display, sensor analysis system, the ability to modify remote equipment, and the latest version of Powerpoint, thank you Mass Effect Wikipedia. Well, perhaps it didn't have Powerpoint but you get the idea. If all this sounds familiar that's because smart-phones are practically just as functional for the needs of yourself, member of the public. Let us get one thing straight though. People, or at least gamers, want the omni-tool. If you played the Mass Effect games and never felt you wanted one, well I state that this is an impossibility and that you do not exist.
One aspect making the omni-tool so nifty in Mass Effect is that holographic projection for the display. This means you would not need a huge screen strapped to your arm, nor squint at something watch-sized. Now even though almost everyone by now knows that 3D is a declining fad and should probably be kept away from smart-phones and TVs, it could be a substitute for the hologram. What would be necessary to include would be a hand and finger recognition system – akin to an even more miniaturised Leap Motion – allowing you to interact with the 3D display rather than jabbing your fingers on the screen like it's 1999. Throw in the rapidly developing voice recognition and the iAr- I mean omni-tool isn't quite as obscure as you first thought.
The only spanner in the works is due to scumbag Google (just kidding, I love Google) who may disrupt the mobile-wrist market before it even takes off. Google Glass is the headset/glasses device with a small screen which allows you to record, search and share both what you see while having full access to the internet. This is a clear step beyond what smartphones and wrist-devices can achieve, with the same advantage of the latter in that you do not have to fish your device out of your pocket whenever you want to do something. My main issue is how one controls Google Glass; speaking to your glasses in public would not be comfortable for many and touching your head to activate it would feel equally awkward. Perhaps where the future lies is actually an arm device and a visual device working in harmony. But I digress.
When it comes down to it, our equivalent of the omni-tool is simply a smartphone attached to your arm. If the idea is peculiar to you, again consider how the pocket watch was transformed with the simple addition of the strap. Given the increasing reliance on smart-phone technology having the device strapped to your arm might actually be more convenient than fishing it out from your pocket. Wirelessly controlling mentioned Powerpoint, transferring money across device accounts, playing angry birds: you name it; all achieved with greater access. It is worth mentioning that the omni-tool is a military device, and as such has abilities unnecessary for us common folk. The point rather is that it is fit-for-purpose for the user. So while I would not need to administer medi-gel, I would like to use it to, say, compliment my gaming experience. Lo and behold these sorts of features have also been introduced to us in the last year, such as Microsoft's Smartglass. So while I play Bungie's Destiny I glance down at the 3D map projected from my arm to track my location, quickly tracing my finger to inform my team-mates the route I plan to take. Ultimately of course is to just make the omni-tool cool with orange 3D effects for us gamers. We need that for our calibrations.
Let me know what you think. If an omni-style device was released with voice and gesture recognition, PC and console compatibility, and as a replacement for your smartphone – would you buy it?

Jaguar vehicles are known for their style, flair, and their many luxury features. They also, however, feature a number of the standard accessories that can be found or their less expensive counterparts. Vehicles like the X-Type have simple alarm systems that can be installed aftermarket onto the vehicle, and you can disable these alarms easily in just minutes from underneath the car's dashboard.
Remove the dashboard from underneath the steering column and ignition cylinder. You can do this with a flat blade such as a knife or a screwdriver, by simply popping the panels off.
Locate the alarm system underneath the dashboard, and locate the wires connected to your car's positive battery terminal.
Disconnect the wire. If you have disconnected the incorrect wire, reconnect it and keep going until you locate the correct wire.

It kinda is like Christmas, you've been waiting for it for so long, prepared for it for so long, seen all the lights and heard all the jinglebells, it's been creeping up on you, and then all of a sudden it's there: the start of the racing season (and you haven't even bought all the Xmas presents yet (read: done all your intervals)).
I just can't believe that I am in Cyprus again and meant to race my first race this season tomorrow. It always seems to happen so quickly. And it still somehow amazes me how one can plop oneself into a completely different surrounding in such a short time. Feels surreal sometimes. And if I was flying home on Monday it would feel like "blink, and you missed it". But I am not flying home Monday, I am doing the complete Cyprus Sunshine Cup this year again. And without Ryan too, so I hope I won't be too lonely in my huge apartment that I had rented for the two of us. But I don't think it will be too bad - lots of people again are staying in Kalavasos and the neighbouring village Tochni, including the Rabobank Giant team. Anyhow, I better get going on my pre-ride in Voroklini - I am here to race after all!
