HEYYYY GIRLIES!!! SOOO ITS ME! TIA! AKA --->**bootylisious**!! As MOST of u know I have another thread / review here on my FIRST round with Dr. Salama LAST YEAR December... under that name (bootylisious) in case you want to see my first time around and experience....Im making a new review on my round 2 that's coming up in EXACTLY a week on Janurary 28th! IM EXCITED AND SCARED SAME TIME LOL!.. NOW...4 all of u that are wondering WHY would I be getting round 2 here's the thing....Dr. S did an AMAZING job 1st time around its just ME being a woman and wanting perfection! LOL. now I had to gain weight for my first round to be able to get the booty size I wanted so I ended up gaining about 15 pounds on my first round to get a nice size booty...which he DEFF gave me...but when taking out the fat via lipo he did explain that he cannot take ALL fat out on the first time for many health related reasons including skin sagging and so on and so on... which I understand..ALSO they have a limit of 4 litters they can take out OVERALL PER SERGERY! once they reach that limit u gotta go back for another surgery to get more out after u have healed from round 1...for obvious reasons...although the doctor did an amazing job the first time I still see certain areas id like for him to TOUCH UP on and some fat pockets I want to address...also my butt it has YES shrank which is normal but it did about 50%...so I want to fill it up a bit more and sculpt it a little more...I do have a dent do to the scarring which occurred internally following my blister on my butt check so all of that I decided I wanted touched up... SOOOO I contacted Nancy MY FAAAVVVEE! HEy nancy!!! LOL and they gave me a reasonable revision price which I cannot discuss im sorry...AND OFF I WENT AND BOOKED FOR ROUND 2! soo im hoping this time around is LESS invasive and less painful with less work and recovery and we shall c!!! I am having my full torso (back, love handles, upper and lower stomach area) and my inner thighs redone again for maximum fat loss with what ever fat I can get back into my butt to fill in the tiny dents and irregularities I hope....As far as what I am doing this time around to prepare...I am NOT taking as many vitamins as last time I am taking a multi vitamin as well as iron. I Eat healthy and I stay fit for the most part to make sure my skin is tight and won't sag after surgery. That's a must ladies if you don't want t hat saggy look! surgery alone WOUNT HELP! ;-) so OH yes and im rubbing coco butter on my body to make my skin soft....ummm what else I think that's it for now I will update with anything else CLOSER to the surgery date which is next week and will post pix before I go in :-) ..XOXO
*Your FAVE SALAMA DOLL* SCROLL TO THE BOTTOM 4 a NEW FUN VIDEO! 4 MONTHS!

Round 2 Surgery was Today!!!
sooo HEY guys its your trullly! ummmm DONT ask how im able to type right now im like on heavy drugs LOL...SSOOO my surgery revision / round 2 was today at 12 pm....Went to sign my papers at the office yesterday yand everyone was excited to c me..NAAANNCCYYY! LOOL... they ALL told me NOT to touch my butt and just do the LIPO revision BUUT I know what I want and how I felt about sertain spots on my butt I wanted to fix...now ladies I wasn't to make this clear I did NOT want a BIGGER butt! I wanted a ROUNDER butt and needed some dents fixed do to Dead Fat and stuff that was missed from round 1..my goal was NOT to make my ass bigger my goal was to get more lipo on my flanks and back and to fill in some dents in my butt I got....so doctor S said it was a revision and not a round 2,,,walked into the office today met with the nurse and the anesthesiologist and they were both very nice they explained the procedure very carefully and then I met with Dr Salama...he took a look at my body and basically said I don't have a lot of fat left and there isn't many areas he can take it from. I GUESS I gotta get over the fact that im just big bonned and I cant have a tiny waist because my hips r too high and too close to my ribs so I cant get that look :-( and he showed me that when he grabbed my areas I thought were fat he said a lot of it was muscle..so he got rid of some more back fat and a little more off my waist and sides and my inner thighs....then he moved onto my butt..soon as he looked at it he said u have asymmetry..meaning my one butt cheek looked diff then the other which was my issue..basically wat happened is on my left side a big chunk o my fat DIED forming a flatness to my left check and the top of it wasn't as full as my right one...so he agreed it needed to be filled to match the right cheek.. also I had a dimple on my right cheek that he filled...so he said wat ever fat he's able to get from my lipo he would use it as a filler for m irregular but areas.. SOO then he drew on me and off I went into the surgery room.. after joking around with the guys for a bit I seen dr S told him to take good care of me and I was out COLD! Woke up in the recovery and this time around deff better than last BBL GEEZ! the pain was DEFF not as bad... So off I go back to my hotel and here I am not laying down...Ok lets talk pain...The pain is DEFF not as bad a my round 1 but it could be that the anesthetic hasn't worn off and I don't feel it..also last time I felt excruciating pain pretty much right after...my complain is the nausea!!! HOOLLLYYY SICK! no actual pain really but I feel SUPER nauseas and sick...it was very hard to drink or eat anything and I still feel very dizzy but I guess that's normal for your first day..Also im bleeding a lot from my incisions but doc said its normal and I don't have drains like last time so I guess im drains like that...OVER ALL a MUCH better experience off the bat then last time but then again I didn't get half as much stuff done this time AANNDDD we shall c the next 2-3 days when the pain is supposed to get worse... k im really tired girlies will post some pix I just took and talk to u tomorrow or something...xoxo
Day 2 Post op guys!
Hey guys! So the day after surgery.. Lets c.. Nothing really happened today...just more pain than yesterday .. Less nausea but more pain :-( ... Went to c Dr. S for follow up and he said everything looks fine... Been resting and sleeping all day DEFF can feel that the Doc went IN even tho I didn't have much I feel where he worked on so I'm glad I got some more fat out.. Looks good so far but I'm still too swollen to tell what's going on under there... So wen I get my 1st massage Friday and change my garment will take some more pix.. Only complaint... Seems like my dimples on my left ass cheek are a bit pronounced but doc said its because I'm swollen and I always had them damn dimples it's nothin serious.. So we shall c when the swelling goes down.. Girls! I hate hearing women on here complaining about rippling and dimples... It is NOT the doctors fault! Everybody's body react different and everyone's fat is different you cannot control which fat will die and stay u can't say oh he gave me dimples.. NO he didn't wat happened was your body rejected the fat n killed it lets be real.. I can go blaming my dimples on The Doc or I can except my body just decided to kill that fat it is wat it is.... U cannot control that fat once it is deposited in you point blank..I'm pretty sure the doctor didn't take u off the OP table looking irregular it happens afterwards depending on your body and your fat... Thas all I gotta say.. So I'm hoping for the best but overall my butt looks more even now waiting for the swelling to go to judge better... K I'm out guys! Xoxo
Day 3 Post Op round 2 revision ladies!
Sooo day 3.... Lets c... Ummm took my garment off today 1st time to shower and see wats happening under.. AND looks GOOD! Compared to wat I looked like on day 3 round 1 I'm 3 times smaller and this is right after surgery.. Can't wait go see this body after all the swelling goes down... I got a bit of swelling on my right flank I've had that since round 1.. Think it's just tuffet tissue on that side but Doc said I should massage it out and it'll go down... Other than that my back and overall body looks great! No more fat I can c! Only swelling... And my butt is awesome! NOT huge just fuller and again it'll shape up in about 2 months :-) ... Only sucky thing is I ended up getting SICK right after surgery :-( been sniffing and coughin since Tuesday :-( and I got HORRIBLE heart burn and tummy aches like acid pain... Pain level... Surprisingly isn't that bad.. It hurts a lot to the touch because the skin is sensitive and very close to the Ribs and bone after round 2 so it hurts wen I touch it but I haven't had to really take pain killers yet... Trying to drink lots of fluids it's hard cuz every Time I get up to pee I get acid pain from inside plus my body pain :-( ... At least my naseau is gone! One thing I've noticed is my appetite is much better than round 1 I eat normal... And for sum reason my stool is coming out very easy Im not having pooh problems like first time... I already feel my garment getting big so I'm going for garment change and my first massage tomorrow! LADIES NO BURNS!!!! I need to say something about that... The doctor knows wat he's doing... He looked at my body and basically told me what I should do and if I end up doing more it might result in problems and burns because of my skin being too irritated... I think a lot of ladies c pictures on the Internet and they want to look like these girls and they request for the doc to do more than he advises and that's wen they get them burns.. The doctor will tell u what he feels is going too far... If u choose not to listen u r taking a chance and every persons body will react different... He fully told me... I don't advise u redo your lower belly... It looks great if I go in again there's a chance it might scar and look lumpy or burn... So I decided not to take that chance and I'm glad... LADIES REMEMBER! 95% of the wish pix u c on the Internet have A LOT of photoshop done to them! Those girls do not look like that in real life! Trust me I know cuz I've been in photoshoots and magazines with those girls.. Some TRULLY r lucky! But very very few! All the rest have cellulite... And their waist is DEFF not that small it's photoshop! They smooth their butts and make them smaller than they r with bigger booty its not real so u can't expect the doc to do wat a computer does especially since everyone reacts diff to surgery but he's damn good! NEXT thing! Take CARE OF YOUR SELF AFTERWARDS! Don't blame the doc for your lack of attention to your self! Follow instructions to the T!!! It's not guaranteed ull be 100% but that's the chance we take going under the knife.. I got some irregularities but that's just how my body heals and I all I can do is try my best to work on my self after surgery... Cellulite is something we CAN'T control! U can't control wen where or how the fat dies in our body neither can the doctor.. ALSO MIST women u c that ARE near perfect u BEST believe have spent THOUSANDS on other treatments and have gone under more than once or twice! Also they eat healthy and work out like crazy so it's lots of stuff not just the surgery... K I'm done now ! Lool here r sum pix without the garment from today day 3 post op revision / round 2 - more like revision
More of day 3 post op.. Have some xtra swelling on my right love handle hoping it goes down after massage...
Ohh one more thing regarding my meds!
4 those of y'all who want to know what I took pre op and wat I'm taking now post op.. Unlike my round 1... This time I just got Iron Pills and Multivitamins and started taking 1 of each a day about a month before surgery... Now I'm doing the same I take the antibiotics doc prescribed... The stool softener... 1 iron pill and 1 multivitamin ... Annd if I'm in pain I take either Motrin PM or 1 n half percs n go sleep... That's all if u don't take anything else u MUST take your iron! And a multivitamin that pretty much covers all of them instead of buying 100 things... That's my advice.. And starts them bout a month pre op and for about a month post op.. K!!! Xoxo
Ok so tried taking out the pads and putting on a waist clincher to keep it tighter... Can't breath! Sigh :-(
Day 4 post op.. Ladies I'm DYING!!!
Sighhh so I tried sleeping with my waist clincher last night instead of the pads cuz the surgery garment is getting loose.. And HOLLY tight! I was wearing that waist clincher on the second hook about a month after my round 1 surgery .. Now I got it on my 1st hook and I CANNOT BREATH WITH IT!!! I want to keep it on SOO bad but I can't... It's SOO tight it's making me dizzy.. Maybe it's a bit too early and I'm only 4 days post op probably too swollen to put it on yet.. I'm very uncomfortable and In pain so I'm taking it off... Will try it on again maybe in a week wen some more swelling goes down because at this point I can't breath with it... Going for a garment change today and massage #1 so hopefully ill get a better garment I don't need pads for.. Lets c... For all the ladies asking where I got my waist clincher from I'm posting a link right under here PLEASE READ IT because I don't save or remember that info...
Link for my waist clincher bellow!
www.squeem.com and I got the small full back one... It comes with 2 hooks So u can tighten it if u need
Ok!!! Day 4! Had my 1st massage and garment change!
Ok Ladies! So I got some info 4 u.. Just got back from my first massage after my revision.. First off! I forgot to take my pain killers before I went in and I was scared! LOL cuz my round 1 was crazy painful! Buuuuttt to my surprise it wasn't as bad as I thought for my round 2... It hurt but it wasn't as bad as I thought... Then changed into a Large garment from my XL post surgery and it was tight but it fit and I bought a Medium AND a small cuz my goal is to fit into that small in a month TOPs! Took a pic of before massage and after u can't tell by the pic but body is smoother after massages ALWAYS!!! And LADIES U NEED THEM!!! They are ESSENTIAL to a flat tummy and a SMOOTH body after surgery I got 10-12 last time after surgery they're not cheap but they're a good investment and if u can get the lazer treatment back home too GET it! Also while ur at home massage your self or get ppl to do it at home... Also took a pic in my new garment today totally better! For 4 days post op not baaad ;-) k this cold is kicking my ass so imma go n try get some sleep.. Going in for massage 2 tomorrow and then again Monday... Xoxo

Got to see my baby and YES F doctors orders I used that damn boppy pillow and had me sum sex last night! LOOL YES ladies u can have sex after surgery! Just if ur in MiSh.. Keep the pillow under your butt and try not to be ruff or put too much pressure on your butt... Also I Filmed my self getting a massage with Celia at the docs office so I can show my wife at home And last night after my shower she did AWESOME I'm gonna try And get her to massage me every night before bed for a while to make sure I got no lumps or scar tissue build up.. LADIES U NEED THOSE MASSAGES! If u can't get to a massage therapist get your husband wife friends or kids at home and put them to work at least 4 times a week for a while after surgery it really helps imma DEFF put my GF to work lool... With that said as far as my flight home thank GOD it was only an hour and once again I got lucky and had a full row to my self! That's it for now higher then that I pretty much keep my garment on all day except for when I shower and massage.. Still keep the side foams in but I'm planning on starting to use the clincher instead on my 2 weeks mark cuz the foams are annoying.. K that's all for today.. Xoxo Sistas
2 weeks Guys!!! Just went shopping and put on my board today! ;-)
Hey heeyyy so WOW again time FLIES! Wish it was 2 months BUT 2 weeks will do! ;-) so I'm 2 weeks post op my revision / round 2.. And honestly only minor things to talk about.... Ummm something I'm noticing.. My swelling is going down DEFF I'm in a lot less pain unless I'm ruff with the lipoed area... AND ummm I DEFF feel bigger than I did before surgery however I have to keep reminding my self that .. That is do to the swelling that will take 6 mnts-year which I know from last time and the doctor DID take fat out so there's no way I'm actually bigger LOL the swelling is going down pretty fast so ill give it another month before I judge.. ALSO I don't move much I don't go nowhere cuz I can't sit or do much so that's also gotta do with it cuz I'm not loosing the weight as fast as before... Wen I was working SOOO I like my butt it looks rounder for now let's c how much of the fat will stay as far as my lipo I'm confident as the swelling goes it'll go down... Ummm the bruises are going away! Thank GOD they're not cute! Lool.. So I'm posting a few pix I took today :-) enjoy xoxo

Other than that! I feel good... Bruises are gone... I still wear my garment n pads every day except wen I shower or massage... Trying to wear the board and waist cincher as much as possible but it's extremely hard to do it as often cuz it hurts my stomach and gives me horrible heart burn and cramps and acid ... Sigh cannot sleep with the board.. ANYONE ELSE WITH ME? Ugh it's SOO painful.. It diggs in how can u sleep! I remember from last round 1 I used to take it out wen it reach bed time cuz it sux ass! Lol ... My scars are almost gone not as bad as last time at all! So hopefully in a month they'll be hard to see... My ass... Same size it's not hard like round 1.. I c slight different it is a bit rounder still not sitting on it but I'm not waiting 7 weeks like last time this laying on my stomach all day hurts my stomach like hell I always have acid :-( ...

Thought I would use my 3 weeks post op mark to do a BEFORE / AFTER comparison between ME before surgery ONE and ME NOW! After surgery 2! To show Dr. Salama's tallent! AND My tallent to STAY that WAY lool after a year and some months... Hoping I stay this way a LONG time? But it takes work ladies u dun just give up working out and eating right after this! It DOES come back.. ANYWAY keep in mind I had gained weight for my round 1 surgery so I was bigger than usual but I mean cmoonn.. Looks good! Imma do another comparison in a few more months :-) but here's this one :-) xoxo

Hey hey!! So it's 4 weeks today since my round 2 surgery! Was my birthday yesterday ! Went to the beach and everything I felt good! :-) still wear my garment but the small is big on me now so imma start wearing the waist cinchers I got instead... Been sitting a lot more than last time but that's because I can't stay in the house as much as I did last time.. I carry my boppi pillow everywhere like a nerd lol movies restaurants! Lol ppl lookin at me like I'm crazy but wat ever imma do it for another week or 2 then ill start sitting without it... Started going to the gym again last week but I'm taking it slow I don't run I do cardio but not over the top I exercise my arms and my legs n but haven't really touched my mid section yet as it still hurts.. But soon... My butt looks fine :-) looked nice in a bathing suit yesterday I'm still swollen around my mid section so I can't wait for that to go but for now I feel great :-) I get massages from my girlfriend every other night.. It's hard not to sit I still get horrible heart burn and acid cuz I'm always on my side or my belly it sux :-( sigh but u gotta do wat u gotta do.. Posted sum new pix for y'all enjoy xoxo
5 Weeks ladies!!!
Ok so! I figured ill do a 5 week update! I KNO I'm being really bad I don't wear my body suit as often as I should And I've started sitting on my butt here n there but figured at 5 weeks I can start a little... Umm overall much hasn't charged my butt looks big and bubbly lol it's not hard tho... My stomach looks good and the swelling is down a lot but still some there.. Really need to wear that suit more often but the small size is now big on me and I don't wanna pay for a next one LOL so I think I'm just gonna take in the small one at the sides to make it tighter cuz I feel it's useless to wear if it's not tight... Otherwise nothin has really changed I feel great it doesn't hurt no more it's barely visible umm my scars are still brown but it's just how my skin heals... Other than that the attention is BACK to crazy! Lool everywhere I go it's overbearing sometimes lol but hey! That's wat we sign up for right! Here are sum update pix... Xoxo

I've stopped wearing the body suit which isn't good but it got big n I didn't c a reason to wear it no more.... Need / sizes smaller... Like 2xs cuz the small is now big on me..

Lool Mind you I DID eat clean yesterday and had a small dinner... LADIES IN MY OPINION WHAT YOIR STOMACH WILL LOOK LIKE NEXT DAY DEPENDS A LOT ON WHAT YOU ATE AND HOW YOU ATE AT DINNER AND HOW LATE! Don't eat big heavy meals before bed no heavy meat! Of you need protein eat a can of tuna with some mayo (A LITTLE MAYO!) lol and sum veggies or just tuna and wait at least 2 hours before going to bed and watch how flat your stomach is next day! AND GET A WAIST TRAINER HONESTLY! The PROPER LATEX ONES they're anywhere between $70-$100 depending where u get it but they help if used properly they get gas out and help control appetite as well and good for posture! Thas al for today! Pix below ;-) xoxo

Benitez points finger for Inter exit
Former Inter Milan coach Rafael Benitez has blamed a lack of support from the club in the summer transfer window and their stance over injuries for his early exit.
Benitez was sacked from the Italian Treble winners in December after a poor start to the season, but has sought to set the record straight over the reasons for his dismissal.
"I want to show some statistics based on the injuries so I am not misunderstood: 80% of those injured had the same or similar injuries in the previous two years," Benitez told Marca. "Myself and my staff did not have control over medical issues or the work of the club medic and his athletic coach.
"We did not follow therapies or recoveries. And, a month after we left Inter there were eight muscular injuries. I am sure Roberto Mancini [former Inter coach] is familiar with all of this."
Benitez slammed the lack of support from the board while still at the helm, but claimed that he had laid out a plan, which was never followed.
"Massimo Moratti knew we worked with difficulty. Some players performed, others didn't. He knew things were not going well, but there were no conditions to carry on. So we arrived at the recession," he added. "I had started well, but then things changed, internally too.
"Opinions always changed. I don't know why there was no summer transfer market and I was surprised. They had asked me for a project to improve the squad ... I wrote things down and the directors liked it, but then nothing happened."

PRZOOM - /newswire/ -
Cypress, CA, United States, 2010/11/24 - Introducing the world's first commercial head alignment tool for Western Digital desktop hard drives that resolves critical head failure issues by producing precise positioning (down to micrometer level) of heads on the hard drive.
Ji2, Inc. today announced a partnership with Kotar, based in Slovenia, to offer the WD-HA PRO, the revolutionary data recovery tool for head aligning Western Digital desktop drives.
The WD-HA Pro is an essential tool to have when encountering critical head failure with Western Digital 3.5 Desktop Hard Drives. The process is simple: adjust and align HDD heads while scanning with a tool like the Atola Insight. While its transparent enclosure allows a technician to watch the heads hover over the disk surface attempting to read the servo, the three micrometers (arranged in a circle, 120 degrees apart) on the WD-HA PRO adjust to produce extremely precise positioning of heads on the hard drive.
The developer Kotar fully invested their engineering expertise to develop the WD-HA Pro; its simple and user-friendly for all Data Recovery skill levels, said Ted Fujisawa, President, Ji2.
We spend countless hours on development and gone through intensive testing, to perfect this one of a kind tool for head alignment for WD Desktop Drives, said Robert Kotar, Kotars founder.
The WD-HA Pro is a powerful tool requiring manual adjustment to achieve success after a head swap. To support the users of the tool, Ji2 will also offer training on the WD-HA Pro. WD-HA Pro Training will emphasize the implementation of this one of a kind solution into the Data Recovery Specialists arsenal to improve recovery rate success.
Pricing will be released this month for both the WD-HA Pro tool and the WD-HA Pro tool with Training package. Please contact Ji2s Sales Department for more information.
About Ji2
Based in Orange County, California, Ji2 (ji2.com) specializes in providing industrial hard drive management solutions, ranging from data recovery to duplication, test, wipe, repair and computer forensics. Ji2 products are widely used around the world by government entities and large corporations in industries such as data recovery, hard drive recycling, digital cinema distribution and consumer electronics.
About Kotar
Founded in 1960, Kotar (kotar.si, headalignment.com) refocused itself from dealing mainly with office machines into a computer company during the 80s. Through the years of PC service, they noticed a growing trend of broken hard drives and faced several customers who wanted their data recovered. In the past decade, Kotar invested significantly in the area of data recovery. Along with solving many previously unsolvable cases, they began creating new methods of data recovery. By cooperating with scientific institutes and universities and using their long-lasting experiences, knowledge and skills in precision mechanics, electronics and software, Kotar developed the WD Head Alignment Tool. This is the first product in their line of New Approach data recovery equipment.

Inertially Optimized Motion Control System Drives New 3D Printer
Mike Everman, Founder and CEO, Bell-Everman
Learn about the development of a new 3D printing system based on an inertially-matched variant of a parallel Delta mechanism. Robots based on the low-inertia, high-stiffness Delta mechanism have a proven track record in pick-and-place applications requiring high speeds, accelerations and positioning accuracies. The same basic design principles have now been applied to additive manufacturing, though not without novel mechanical modifications that optimize the inertial mass of the entire Delta mechanism.

I am wanting to put fondant draping on a buttercream cake. Is this possible, or will the weight of the drapes cause them to slide off the buttercream? If I roll them really thin, use a 50/50 mix of gumpaste and fondant, and use a good adhesive, will I be able to achieve this without having to use a non edible support (skewers) to attatch the draping to the cake?
I've never tried this, but my instinct tells me that it would be a problem. No matter how thin you roll the fondant, it will do a number on your lovely buttercream finish, because even thin fondant is rather weighty. And, of course, as you say, slippage would probably be a problem, too, because no matter what kind of glue you use, you're still trying to glue the fondant to something relatively soft. Anybody else ever tried this?
I used drapes on on a buttercream cake. It was my first wedding cake. If you look in my pics, it was the 5 tier white w/black bands and Gerber daisies. I don't know if that is the style drape you want or not. The drapes were with Jennifer Dontz's chocolate fondant. It rolls out VERY thin so it doesn't weigh as much. Also, the drapes were only long enough to go tier to tier. I didn't have much trouble and only used water and icing to attache to the buttercream and hid the "connection" with the daisies. If this is the style you are looking for and have questions, please feel free to pm me. HTH
Wow, inspiredbymom, my hat's off to you. I would never have thought it possible to do that, but your cake is lovely!
Thank you Marianna46! I had lots of advice from Jennifer Dontz and help from my DH to put this one together. I guess I also have to say that it is Sugarshacks icing too. That stuff is amazing to work with. I only change the flavoring.
If you search "drape" in the gallery sections, you'll see quite a few people who have put them on buttercream cakes. So I think you just have to be very delicate and wait until your buttercream has crusted.

On the second day after a gigantic tornado ripped apart Joplin, Missouri, 116 are confirmed dead, making it the deadliest single tornado in U.S. history. New York Times media reporter Brian Stelter has been on the ground in the town since yesterday, posting haunting photos like the one above to his Twitter account. Perhaps even more haunting is the opening of this story he co-wrote with A.G. Sulzberger on the carnage at the town hospital.
When the warning — "Execute Condition Gray!" — blared through the halls of St. John's Regional Medical Center, nurses began rolling patients' beds into the hallways, as they had been trained to do time and again in this tornado-prone region.
But just as workers were completing the precautionary steps Sunday night, the entire nine-story building was pummeled by a tornado. Glass shards exploded from every window, doors blew open, and even patients' IV-lines were ripped from their arms.
By the time the three-quarter-mile-wide tornado — among the deadliest in the nation's history — moved on, the hospital was a scene of stunned chaos. Nearly every patient was splashed or covered with blood from all the glass, and people in the emergency room on the first floor were sucked out of windows into the parking lot. Even a backup generator failed, leaving ventilators and other medical equipment without power in dark rooms.
Ugh. Asking for disaster relief donations is getting all too common, but if you'd like to make a donation to the American Red Cross' Disaster Relief, you can visit its online donation page and enter the zip code for Joplin, 64801, to make sure that the money will be directed to their local Joplin chapter. You can also call 1-800-RED-CROSS or text "REDCROSS" to 90999 to make a $10 donation. Contributions may also be sent to your local Red Cross chapter or to the American Red Cross, P.O. Box 37243, Washington, D.C. 20013.

Why He's Famous: "American Idol" contestant. Couldn't sing. Incredibly gay but claimed heterosexuality. Hairdo.
In Twenty Years: Salon owner
For real, Sanjaya's claim to fame was his jacked-up hairdos and his comically bad singing. He would be the perfect salon owner. Can't you see him welcoming you into his lovely salon with the beautiful tapestries and porcelain dog from Pier 1? Maybe with some Alicia Keys playing, and he's pouring a glass of wine for you on a Friday afternoon as you get your hair did? And he wants to know how that man of yours is doing, if he's still going behind your back with that slut. And while he's highlighting and frosting you, he will start singing along to Ms. Keys and several mirrors will crack and cats will howl and you'll wish you never had the cochlear implant if you're hearing impaired. And he will always have a nice and exciting hairdo to delight you with. That cat can rock a side ponytail like nobody's business!

Currently, Tedesco is the co-owner of Peak Performance Studio ~ All Star Cheer & Fitness in Rutland, where she works with all ages and levels of competitive cheerleading. She has also been actively involved with the Rutland Area Recreation Cheer Program and is a certified Competition judge in both New Hampshire and Massachusetts. Tedesco previously was the junior varsity and varsity cheerleading coach at Mill River, and most recently served as the assistant varsity and junior varsity cheerleading coach at Rutland High School.
Tedesco's plans include once again entering MSJ into competitive cheer competitions, which will add a facet to MSJ student life that has been missing since the 1980s. Her program will stress fundamentals and conditioning, while aligning style and technique with the most current competitive trends.
Tedesco stated that she wants the "cheerleaders to be a driving force behind spirit at the school" and that cheerleading is "about building spirit at the school and building personal skills at the same time."
Tedesco said that the lessons learned by each individual cheerleader can be quite different but that she feels that "cheerleading helps to instill confidence in students at the critical time that they are coming into their own as young adults." She explained that, "I want my cheerleaders to be strong leaders, who are fully involved in the life of the school, inside the classroom and outside of it."
Tedesco added that "I really enjoyed coaching at Rutland, however, I am truly thrilled to get started at MSJ." She emphasized the importance of the relationship of the schools to each other — and to the Rutland community.
Mount Saint Joseph Academy is a college preparatory Catholic high school located in Rutland, Vermont, specializing in educating the mind and spirit for more than a century. MSJ's tradition of academic excellence in the Rutland region dates back to its founding by the Sisters of Saint Joseph in 1882. For more information, visit www.msjvermont.org or call (802) 775-0151.

Tanker due to dock in rebel-held Libyan port: Lloyd's List
A tanker was due Tuesday to dock in the key eastern oil port of Tobruk to pick up the first oil cargo for 18 days from the rebel-held part of Libya, Lloyd's List said.
"There is a tanker which is scheduled to arrive later today at the oil terminal near Tobruk, according to Lloyd's Intelligence checking data," said Michelle Wiese Bockmann, markets editor of Lloyd's List, a shipping news and data provider.
She added: "We have yet to confirm if it has arrived... The owner of the tanker has yet to comment.
"It's a Suezmax tanker and it's able to load one million barrels of oil, or about 130,000 tonnes of oil. So it's over $100 million (70.5 million euros) worth of crude."
The Liberian-flagged ship was heading to the Marsa el-Hariga terminal, she said.
Libya, a key crude exporting nation in the Middle East and North Africa region, has seen its output slashed since rebels began an uprising against Moamer Kadhafi's rule.
Bockmann said that the last international oil shipment from Libya was on March 18, and added that there had been "none at all" since then.
Oil-rich Libya was producing 1.69 million barrels a day before the unrest but this had ground to a halt in the ensuing violence.
"If this shipment does go ahead, I think it will send a very strong message that international oil (exporting) is going to resume," added Bockmann.
"It's quite a risky business. The ship owner, I would imagine, is being paid a significant premium to bring that ship there."
She added that there were separate unconfirmed reports of other ships that could be heading for Libya at some stage.
"All tankers have to broadcast or transmit their destination... and we have yet to see another tanker" travelling to rebel-held parts of Libya.
"However, there are several tankers that analysts are looking at that could be heading for (Libyan) ports. We are not sure -- that is completely unconfirmed.
"There are also anecdotal reports amongst shipbrokers of off-market deals being done to ship oil from Libya. But none of that is confirmed and it's only speculation."

I did not listen to advice telling me to sleep when the baby sleeps. Instead I cleaned. I did not listen to the advice to take time for myself. Instead I planned more lessons and tried to squeeze in some work. I did not listen to advice telling me to not worry about the little messes. Rome wasn't cleaned in a day. Instead I drove myself to the brink trying to get my overflowing "to-do" list done in one day. Then one day I found myself burned out. I was unable to move. Things that were once a joy were now a burden. I implore you to be wiser and do not fall into the trap of neglecting yourself.
If this describes you then I want to challenge you with this:
*What example are you setting for your children when you neglect yourself?
*Who will take care of your family if you run yourself ragged and cannot function?
*Are you glorifying your Heavenly Father when you do not take care of His beloved (you) so you are in prime spiritual and emotional shape to be available to Him and the work He has for you?
My Five Favorite Tips to Avoid Burn-Out
Hour Break: Everyday schedule an hour long "quiet time". Older children and take this time to read while younger children can nap. You can schedule documentary time instead if that suits you. Then use this hour to read, take a bath, take a nap, call a friend, have coffee, whatever makes you happy or relax.
Early Bird: Get up at least one hour earlier than your children. Use this time for your devotions and pray that the Lord will order your steps. You need to run your day and not have your day run you. Start off the day right by getting organized, throwing in a load of laundry, taking the time to eat, time to order your steps, and make breakfast for the kids. Don't forget to have breakfast and a big cup of coffee or tea for yourself!
Schedule Field Trips: Schedule field trips throughout the year to give everyone something to look forward to. Sometimes a day out is the refresher you need.
Be Realistic: Do not schedule all the projects and tests for all your children closely together. Schedule based on what you can handle not what you think you should be able to handle. Chances are whatever that is will be different for everyone. That's okay.
Take Time to Play: Add in the fun. Every now and then plan an afternoon of board games or a day you do art at the park. Plan to watch a documentary but make it more like a fun movie complete with popcorn and snacks.
Simple solutions like those will change your attitude and keep your fresh.

CARLSBAD — This holiday season local residents can promote international peace, cultural awareness and economic opportunity by participating in Christmas Around the World, A Cappella Concert and Holiday Fair from 1 to 5 p.m. Dec. 16 at the Schulman Auditorium, Dove Library.
The event benefits Carlsbad Sister City Ambassadors which connects Carlsbad with the global community by hosting delegations from sister cities Karlovy Vary (meaning Carlsbad), Czech Republic and Futtsu, Japan.
The Sister Cities concept was initiated in 1956 by President Dwight Eisenhower to promote cultural and commercial relations. In 1967 it became the Sister Cities International organization, a nonprofit citizen diplomacy network for partnerships with international communities. In 1988 the Carlsbad City Council voted to establish the Sister City program under city ordinance. The relationship continued until 2010 when the recession led to the City Council, still endorsing the concept of the organization, making the difficult decision to defund it.
The Sister City program became the nonprofit Carlsbad Sister City Ambassadors. Last year board members rallied and together held their first fundraiser. Joanne Brouk wrote an original play titled "Who Put the Bad in Carlsbad," which was directed by Melinda Whitelaw. Board president Tom Hersant was cast in the leading role.
"The performance was sold out which led to a command performance which was almost sold out, too," he explained. "The money we raised, combined with what we generate on Dec. 16, will allow us to successfully host biennial visits from two foreign delegations this spring as well as fund annual operational costs."
The Holiday Fair features origami ornaments made by Carlsbad Junior Ambassadors as well as Fair Trade items from developing countries including Guatemala, Bolivia, Peru, India, Kenya and Rwanda. Nativity scenes made of gourds, orange peel wreathes, cinnamon and paper mache ornaments, and worry dolls are among the gifts available for purchase.
"A portion of each dollar spent goes directly to the artisans to enable them to make a living while promoting sustainability," said Brouk. "Shoppers truly can 'make their purchase make a difference.'"
There is no admission for the fair, and a $15 admission for the a capella concert which will showcase six groups, each performing six songs. Afterward, the audience will vote by ballot for the winning ensemble, which will subsequently be presented with a People's Choice Award.
The groups include the Sugartime Quartet whose selections include "Silver Bells," Singchronicity performing "Santa Claus is Coming to Town" and Fabulous Earrings singing "I'll Be Home for Christmas."
The Pacific Belles, a women's four-part a cappella chorus, and local chapter of Sweet Adelines International, will perform "Ukrainian Bell Carol" among others.
Daughters of Norway, also known as Southern Ca Damekor, will entertain the audience with a variety of traditional Scandinavian and English choral music.
Royce's Voices, which won that inaugural Bella A Cappella contest hosted by Carlsbad Friends of the Arts last year, will sing classics including "Here Comes Santa Claus" and "Silent Night."
Brouk explained that she and other members of Carlsbad Sister City Ambassadors learned the value of the sister cities bond in a dramatic way in 2010 when they hosted a delegation from sister city, Futtsu, shortly after the tsunami that devastated Japan.
"When they were here, students from La Costa Heights Elementary School gathered funds to support their relief efforts," she recalled. "The Japanese were so moved and grateful that, when returning here this spring, the Futtsu delegates are bringing gifts of books about Japan to give to the students of La Costa Heights.
"Also, the principal of La Costa Height's sister school in Fuji will be making her first visit outside the country this month and will attend the a cappella concert as our honored guest."
Also visiting Carlsbad next year will be the head of Futtsu International Relations who will serve as chaperone to a group of high school and college students, and the Lord Mayor and two deputies from Karlovy Vary.
The Dove Library is located at 1775 Dove Lane near El Camino Real and Aviara Parkway. For more information, visit carlsbadambassadors.us or call Brouk at (760) 434-8080.

BIRTHDAY GAL: Actress Yunjin Kim was born in Seoul, South Korea, on this day in 1973. This birthday gal grew to fame in South Korean films and TV, but American audiences may know her better for playing Sun Kwon on "Lost" from 2004-2010. Currently, she stars as Karen Kim on the series "Mistresses." Kim has also lent her voice talents to the video games "Sleeping Dogs" and "Lost: Via Domus."
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Ease on down the road. You may have taken on added duties and they can begin to pile up and weigh you down unless you get your priorities straight. Make a list and check off assignments as they're completed.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You have a head for business and an ambition to succeed, but someone may throw up roadblocks that stop your progress in its tracks. A sudden change of plan or opinion can reverse the results.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Your soft heart needs a solid container. You might be attracted by a seductive glance and misinterpret the romantic signals. Hold off on important investment decisions or amorous entanglements.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): You don't own anyone and no one owns you. But you may feel like a wage slave under these stars. When there is a job to be completed, you're expected to act like a team player and put in extra effort.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Sustained effort is the key to hitting a target. You might suspect that someone is manipulating a situation to their advantage, but don't change your tactics or objectives at the eleventh hour.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Power struggles are more about control than power. You have the energy to make headway if a concentrated effort is required. But this isn't a good time to enter into agreements or conduct negotiations.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Plans may change in an instant. You may be under stress due to a situation at home or an emerging situation and need to drop what you're doing. A shift of attention might be a blessing in disguise.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Tackle the big things that stand in your way. Ignore any urge to demonstrate petty selfishness and be generous with your time and talent. A little initiative behind the scenes might earn you more appreciation.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Trying to keep up with a fast pace can be a challenge. You might want what you can't have or let money slip through your fingers. It would be wise to slow down and to put off final decisions.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Concentrate on getting the job done, and done well. Put romantic notions on the back burner while you have pressing obligations on your mind. Pass up invitations and avoid making key financial decisions.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You may have an ambition to climb mountains. Just remember that sometimes it's lonely at the top. Where organizational skills are concerned you can scale great heights, but love could shift under your feet.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Remember, there's a time for every purpose under heaven. While everyone else is busy playing games of one-upmanship, you might be more interested in being kind or cultivating the inner world of the imagination.
IF NOVEMBER 7 IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: Slow down and don't move too fast. Keep your head low between now and the end of the year, when too many responsibilities could tax your patience and resources and when you shouldn't overextend yourself financially. The tides will turn in January, so listen for opportunity knocking, when a minor favor or advice from a friend or mentor could launch you in a better direction. Things brighten up even more in March and April when a romantic commitment or career success takes center stage. True love or a delightful job change could alter your life next spring and summer.

If feed prices fall or at least stabilize – as some market analysts are predicting – turbulence that has shaken the dairy industry for the past few years could subside in the second half of 2013, predicts Mike Schulz, Extension dairy specialist at Purdue University.
Schulz says feed prices remain the wildcard as to whether margins and cash flow can improve for dairies. Drought-induced high feed costs that resulted from last year's growing season could stabilize once the 2013 crop is in the ground, he predicts.
In the meantime, high feed prices and short supplies have forced some producers to cull cows. In October 2012, a total of 285,400 U.S. dairy cows were slaughtered under federal inspection – the highest monthly total since 1997.
Failure of congress to pass a new farm bill led to the one-year extension of the 2008 farm bill, which keeps the milk income loss contract program in place temporarily.
To navigate feed shortages in the short-term, Schulz advises producers to keep a close eye on feed prices and check inventories frequently. He also suggests growing additional forages that can be double-cropped. For example, sorghum-sudangrass, sudangrass or pearl millet can be sown in mid-May and will be ready for harvest in early July.

DENVER - June 11, 1998 - Qwest today announced Moody?s Investors Service and Standard & Poor?s have upgraded their ratings of Qwest Communications International Inc. Moody?s raised its Qwest rating to Ba1 from B2, an increase of four categories, with a stable outlook. Standard & Poor?s raised its Qwest rating to BB+ from B+, an increase of three categories, and assigned a positive outlook to the rating. The ratings follow the consummation of the merger between Qwest and LCI on June 5, 1998, creating one of the fastest growing companies in the industry.
?We are obviously very happy with these significant upgrades and the positive outlook,? said Robert Woodruff, executive vice president and CFO of Qwest. ?The ratings reflect the powerful combination of Qwest?s network asset and leadership position in the exploding multimedia market with LCI?s cashflow, established customer base and operational infrastructure. We also feel there is an element of ?wait and see? in the ratings, and as we complete the network, complete the integration of the companies and execute our business plan, we are confident our credit worthiness will continue to improve.?
This release may contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. These statements may differ materially from actual future events or results. Readers are referred to the documents filed by Qwest with the SEC, specifically the most recent reports on Form 10-Q, which identify important risk factors that could cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements, including potential fluctuations in quarterly results, dependence on new product development, rapid technological and market change, failure to complete the network on schedule, volatility of stock price, financial risk management and future growth subject to risks.

Whale tale can be a teaching moment about protecting animals in the wild
I write on behalf of Eco-Sys Action (an organisation that raises eco-awareness with children around the world) and refer to Simon Parry's excellent article ('Sea change for Ocean Park?', September 19) on the park's decision not to import beluga whales.
Maybe the surveys it commissioned should have asked one single and simple question: 'Do you think that it is right to take animals from their natural habitat and put them in a cage or an aquarium?'
The main point in the beluga whale saga is not sustainability but the wrong message such imports send to the whole community.
Ocean Park has set an important example to other mushrooming aquariums across the world and especially on the mainland and has now become a respected leader for its ethics and commitment to preserving our planet. We can be proud of such a positive move.
It can also be a turning point in educating people in Hong Kong, especially children, about protecting wild animals.
People should not see organisations opposing the imports as 'animal extremists' but instead understand that taking animals from the wild must be something from the past.
Respected zoos and aquariums have already stopped such practices and instead exchange animals born in captivity in well-managed programmes.
We have not heard much about children, although they are important customers of Ocean Park.
Children have more common sense than adults, and it may be time to listen to them.
Schools should set up children's environmental groups that voice their concern or approval on wildlife issues in Hong Kong. The city would soon become a world leader in animal conservation.
We must help children to take their future into their hands.
Their message will be more powerful than those of any groups involved in conservation, just like when Disneyland decided not to sell shark's fin soup at its restaurants a few years ago when students started voicing their concern.
Also I would like to congratulate Renata Snow ('Why Ocean Park was right in deciding not to import whales', September 20) for showing the power of youth.
Christian Pilard, Eco-Sys Action

Ichiro Suzuki Will Bat Third, Not Leadoff, For Mariners In 2012
After more than a decade headlining the Seattle Mariners' lineup as their leadoff hitter, Ichiro Suzuki is headed for a change: He'll be batting third for the M's this season, according to MLB.com.
"I've done a lot of thinking about it this winter and talked with the coaches and [GM Jack Zduriencik] and everyone," Mariners manager Eric Wedge said. "Bottom line is for us to have the best lineup, one through nine out there. I want our lineup to be extended. I feel our best opportunity to score runs is with Ichiro batting third. It helps the guy in front of him, the guy behind him and it helps him."
Ichiro has been the Mariners' leadoff man throughout his 11 years in Seattle, dating back to when he broke into the major leagues in 2001, winning MVP and Rookie of the Year honors. His career totals as the M's leadoff guy include 2,428 cits, 280 doubles, 74 triples and 423 stolen bases.
The veteran outfielder is now 38, however, and Wedge says it's time for a change.
"He's as smart a baseball player as we have in there, and he understands the game very well," the manager said. "He understands what the responsibility and priorities are with somebody hitting third, and I'm trusting in that. I had a good talk with him yesterday. It wasn't out of left field, because we've had discussions [previously]. He's on board. He's ready to go."

The San Diego Zoo has welcomed a big bundle of joy - a baby hippo.
The zoo says the chubby calf was born Wednesday morning in the water at the hippopotamus compound. It took about two hours.
Officials don't know yet whether it's a male or a female - the calf is staying close to its mother.
They'll also have to name the calf, who was born to a female named Funani and a male named Otis. Otis was brought to San Diego from the Los Angeles Zoo two years ago. The zoo says the two didn't get along for awhile but they began to mate in April.
The hippo gestation period is typically about eight months.
