Hello! I am 5'3", 37 years old and a mother to two teens. I have lost 50 pounds and am working on another fifty to get me to my goal weight of 140 (I am muscular, lower than 140lbs and I am too thin). Right now, I am wearing a 38I cup. Yes, I said "I" cup. It hurts. My breasts have NOT decreased in size with weight loss, and they are pendulous. Insurance is a problem even though I am being treated for back/shoulder pain, and have had surgery on both arms now. How do I get started? Thanks!
Breast Reduction - How Do I Proceed? What to Ask? How to Find the Right Doc?

Insurance coverage for breast reduction
The most common complaints that I hear from patients desiring breast reduction are:
- Chronic neck, back and shoulder pain
- Poor posture
- Bra strap grooving
- chronic intertrigo under the breasts
Insurance coverage varies from patient to patient. Some companies require evidence of failed conservative therapy, some require a specific amount of tissue removal based on a patients BMI, some don't cover the procedure at all. A letter from your surgeon to the your insurance company requesting coverage should give you the information you need.
Planning for breast reduction
Breast reduction is a common operation with high patient satisfaction. It is the only known effecive treatment for severe breast enlargement (hypertrophy) with the symptoms you describe. Symptomatic macromastia is the most descriptive term. The information you convey contains many issues that bear careful consideration and discussion. If indeed you believe that an additional 50 pounds of weight loss is attainable and sustainable then it would likely be wise to wait until you have achieved that 140lb target weight that would serve as your new baseline. If you were to have surgery at your current weight and then lose those 50 pounds, your result, just like the rest of your soft tissues, would change dramatically. If, on the other hand, you find that your current weight is at or near your true baseline weight, then you may consider a surgery now. The best way to make this determination is to have a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon and review your plans for behavior modification and diet in the future. It is important to understand that both weight gain and significant weight loss can impair the quality of your result.
Breast Reduction and Insurance
First off, congratulations on your weight loss! I would suggest that you get within 10 pounds of your ideal weight before proceeding any further. Check your insurance policy to make sure that breast reduction coverage is even offered. Many insurance plans now list breast reduction as an exclusion which means they will not pay for this procedure. You can review your plan book or contact your insurance company. Your board certified plastic surgeon's office staff should be able to assist you with insurance pre-certification. We have our patients complete a questionnaire which includes the type of conservative therapy used prior to seeking the advice of a surgeon (wide strapped bras, chiropractic care, Advil, Aleve, etc). We also ask our patient to obtain a letter of medical necessity from heir OB/GYN or Primary Care Physician. Your plastic surgeon will take photos from the neck down to send along with the above mentioned documents. Next is the waiting game with the insurance company,. It can take 3-6 weeks for a determination. Also ask your plastic surgeon's office about the appeal process in the event that you are denied coverage. Best wishes!

Breast reduction insurance coverage.
Insurance Coverage for Breast Reduction
80% of breast reduction questions on RealSelf are about insurance coverage. Here are some helpful points.
1) Insurance companies try very hard not to pay for breast reduction, even though they should. Even small breast reductions relieve many symptoms such as back pain and shoulder pain, and even some types of headaches.
2) Very big reductions (like from an F cup to a C cup) will usually be covered.
3) Many policies will pay for breast reduction if 500 grams (a little more than a pound) or more are removed from each breast.
4) Some policies take your height and weight into account. So that if you are tiny, smaller reductions will be covered. Find out the details of your policy.
5) DON'T get too much of a reduction just to satisfy the insurance company. You will be unhappy with tiny breasts.
6) Your surgeon needs to request pre-certification IN WRITING, and attach as much evidence as possible.
7) Evidence includes letters from your internist, orthopedic surgeon, and/or chiropractor stating that breast reduction will relieve your symptoms.
8) Some companies require that you try "alternative treatments" such as weight loss and physical therapy first.
9) Don't give up. If the first request is denied, demand an appeal.
10) If there is no insurance, and you cannot afford to pay a private surgeon, go to the plastic surgery clinic of a teaching hospital. There, residents do the surgery under supervision, and the cost is minimal. In New York City, we train residents and fellows at Lenox Hill Hospital, and they do good work.
Breast Reduction and Insurance Coverage?
Thank you for the question.
It sounds like you are dealing with breast hypertrophy along with the physical and psychosocial consequences of this diagnosis. In other words, the breasts are too large for the frame causing both physical and psychological distress. Please make sure you do your homework and understand the potential risk and complications associated with breast reduction surgery, including abnormal scarring. You should also understand that further surgery may be necessary in the future (for example if the breasts were to grow in size again).
Timing of the breast reduction surgery is based on the patient's psychosocial place in life and is a very individual- specific decision. She must be able to accept the scars (which result from the breast reduction surgery) in exchange for the improvement in size/contour/position of the breasts. Some patients choose to have the breast reduction surgery earlier in life; some patients prefer to wait until they are in mature/stable relationships and/or have completed having pregnancies.
The best way to obtain insurance coverage for breast reduction surgery involves some "hoops" to jump through. The more documentation you have (for example, from your primary care doctor, physical therapist, chiropractor etc.) the better when it comes to obtaining insurance "authorization" for the procedure.
This documentation and letter/pictures from your plastic surgeon will help you obtain authorization. Make sure you're consulting with a well-trained/experienced board-certified plastic surgeon.
Congratulations on your decision to pursue breast reduction surgery; it is one of the most patient pleasing operations you perform.
Best wishes.

The Issue of Insurance Coverage for Breast Reduction Surgery
Check with your insurance company and find out specifically what they require to cover a breast reduction. Some companies want documentation that you have been treated for neck and shoulder pain either by a neurologist, or orthopedist. Some companies require a trial of physical therapy before they will agree to certify surgery. Documentation is important so get whoever operated on your arms to give you a letter. When you have your plastic surgery consult, pictures of your breasts and shoulders will be taken and sent with your pre-certification letter. Generally if you have good documentation and your pictures show large beasts, then coverage will be provided.
Breast reduction and insurance coverage.
As you continue to lose weight, you can begin gathering infomation so everything is ready when you get to the weight you are trying to acheive. First, find several board certified plastic surgeons you can consult with. Contact The American Society of Plastic Surgeons for a list of surgeons in your area. Once you have met with and found the surgeon you are comfortable with, they should be able to help you navigate the insurance coverage, depending on your insurance. Reductions patients are some of the most happy patients so it should be well worth it.
Breast Reduction - How Do I Find a Plastic Surgeon
Hi redtailgal in statesville, NC,
Excellent question.
I usually recommend the following:
1) Contact your primary care physician to see if he or she knows any plastic surgeons in your community. No use in reinventing the wheel if someone near you has already done the research.
2) Do the research. Go online and do some basic reading about this procedure. It's in your best interest to do the work ahead of time so that you and your surgeon can have a more knowledgeable conversation, rather than using that as your teaching time.
3) go to surgery dot org to find a list of surgeons near you
4) go visit at least 2-3 of them. Do your research first, look at their websites to get an idea of what their practice is like
5) to the extent that cost is an issue, see which doctors accept your insurance. You can start or limit your research to those doctors, depending on whether or not that is otherwise an appropriate thing to do.
I hope that this helps, and good luck,
Dr. E

Breast Reduction
Back and neck pain is one of the most common reasons for a person to have a breast reduction. Reducing the size of your breasts can definitely relieve a lot of this pain. The first thing you need to do is find a surgeon in your area that accepts insurance, some Plastic Surgeons do not. After you have found a few near you, interview them. This is really a consultation but you are finding out if they are the best fit for you! At your consultation make sure to see their before an after picture gallery. Doing this will give you an idea of their work and results. Good Luck!
Breast reduction starts with insurance predetermination
One of the best ways to find a surgeon for breast reduction is a search through your insurance plan list of doctors within your plan. Reduction is a covered benefit for some companies, and an I-cup is sure to be within range of covered benefits. The plastic surgeon can discuss options after examination and begin an insurance predetermination to confirm benefits.
Best of luck,

I just reached my goal of 100% Pod::Coverage! Yay!
I did some minor refactoring along the way, and the documentation format isn't very consistent (so I'll have to edit some parts again..), but it's a good feeling to finally have docs.
During my quest I discovered a slighlty iritating behaviour in Pod::Coverage. If you define several packages in one file, Pod::Coverage only reports on subs in the package with the same name as the file. I hacked up a quick patch and send it to Richard Clamp. I'll see if he likes it...
Next: Tests!

The Moon's Importance
. Jacob Miller
4th Hour
The Moon's Role
The moon does many different things in our lives. First the moon has different phases the first phase is a new moon in which you can't see any of the moon. The second phase is the waxing crescent, the first quarter, then waxing gibbons, then full moon, then waning gibbons, then 3rd quarter, then waning crescent, and then the phases start over again. This entire cycle takes about 28.5 days. The moon also causes the tides on the earth. There are two different types of tides neap tides and spring tides. A spring tide means the tide is really high, and a neap tide is when the tide is really low. The moon also causes the eclipses there are two types of eclipses a lunar eclipse, and a solar eclipse. A lunar eclipse is when the sunlight is blocked from the moon. A solar eclipse is when the moon blocks out the sun from the earth's view.
The Moon's Phases
The moon has 8 phases that occur every 28.5 days. The first phase is new moon which is completely dark because we cannot see the face of the moon that has all the sunlight. The next set of moon phases are waxing crescent, 1st Quarter, and waxing gibbons. Then is the full moon where you can see an entire half of the moon but it appears to be a complete circle. The next set of phases is waning gibbous, 3rd Quarter, and waning crescent. We see he phases because the moon orbits around earth just like the earth rotates around the sun. The phases are important because they provide a source of light outside at night.
. There are two different types of tides that are the main ones. The first type of tide is called a spring tide. A spring tide is when a ide I overly high, and occurs only during a full moon or a new moon. A neap tide is when the tide is lower and occurs during 1st Quarter and 3rd Quarter. These tides occur because of the gravitational pull form the moon. The tides effect Earth because they effect the tide which could make people at the beach either happy or mad.
There are two main types of eclipses that occur every once in a while. There are lunar eclipses which is when the sun is fully blocked out by the earth an the moon evinces no sunlight. There are also solar eclipses which is when the sun is blocked from the view of the earth by the sun. Eclipses only occur when the moon, sun, and earth are perfectly aligned which is why the sunlight is blocked from either the moon or the Earth. Eclipses are important because they are cool to watch.
The Moon's Import
The moon is important for a few different reasons. First the moon causes tides which are important for people who I've near the ocean. Second they are important because they cause eclipses which are cool to look at. Third the moon is important because it has phases which given us different amounts of light at night. If there was no moon there would be no tides, we would not see the moon at night, but the world would pretty much remain the same. There could possibly be a reduction in a few species who use the Moon's light at night t hunt , but other than that life would remain the same.

BOSTON—A Republican challenger to Democratic U.S. Rep. Barney Frank is preparing to launch his candidacy.
Sean Bielat, a former Marine Corps lieutenant, will formally announce his campaign Monday morning at the Coolidge Corner Theater in his hometown of Brookline.
Bielat says two of his top concerns are national security and fiscal responsibility. He says he's collected enough signatures to get on the ballot for the Sept. 14 primary elections.
He's not the only Republican in the race.
Earl Sholley, a former landscape company owner, says he's also collected enough signatures to get on the ballot. Sholley ran unsuccessfully against Frank two years ago.
Frank, who serves as chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, has become a favorite target of Republicans. He's seeking his 16th term in the U.S. House.

PYHOF: Remembering Woodstock2014-08-15 2 2 Share Tweet
Though Woodstock was merely a three-day event, its legacy certainly lives on to this day.
The Woodstock Music & Art Fair, more popularly known as Woodstock, is such an iconic event in the history of music that hearing its name alone immediately brings to mind images of unadulterated, hedonistic fun. It's one of those festivals that any music fan would have loved to be part of (what a pity for those of us born in the years after, then!). The three-day festival, which opened on this day 45 years ago, was graced by more than 30 performers and a staggering 4,000 attendees. Although mostly controversial, Woodstock is inarguably legendary.
And so without further ado, we present to you our playlist for this week. We've selected a few live tracks recorded during Woodstock for inclusion in the album, "Woodstock: Three Days of Peace and Music" for your listening pleasure.
Check out more of our music picks on the *Put Your Headphones On Friday* series!

The multi-billion dollar global telecommunications market has a new key player this week after the spin-off from Southampton University of a fibre-optics components company.
Southampton Photonics, which has its roots in the Optoelectronics Research Centre (ORC), a world leader, will exploit technology licensed from the university. It has attracted initial funding of Pounds 37 million, the largest private investment for a university-based spin-off. The university has taken a financial stake and will further benefit by maintaining close links between the ORC and the company.
David Payne, the company founder and chairman, and director of the ORC, said it was a new type of start-up model for European universities, which ensured that the institution would benefit substantially.
"We believe we can be a $1 billion company in very quick time. We will plan for flotation, but the exact timing will depend on the market conditions," Professor Payne said.
He was quick to distance the start-up from the rash of dot-coms that have contributed to recent turmoil in world markets.
"Market analysts have been describing dot-com content companies as technology companies, which they are not. We are an extremely unusual start-up in that we have already exhibited prototypes at trade shows. We are not one of the smoke and mirrors companies."
The company's products should cater for the world's leading network solutions companies, such as Cisco, Nortel Networks and Lucent, as they attempt to meet the challenge of providing enough bandwidth at competitive prices to carry internet traffic, which is doubling every 100 days.
"We will be mining bandwidth in existing installed fibre," Professor Payne said.
Southampton Photonics will create 200 jobs for engineers, manufacturing specialists and sales and marketing staff in the next 18 months. Most will be based at a purpose-built development in the university's Science Park at Chilworth. The company will also establish facilities in California, where it expects to employ more than 200 staff by the end of 2002.
The ORC has been at the forefront of optical communication research for 35 years and Professor Payne was the world's first PhD student in the subject. He led the team that in 1986 invented the optical amplifier, the enabling technology behind Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing, and was jointly awarded the Benjamin Franklin Medal for developing the erbium-doped fibre amplifier in 1998.
Southampton Photonics will base its product range on technology developed and patented by university researchers. An alliance with the ORC will ensure that, in addition to in-house product and technology development, the company will continue to license key know-how and further ORCpatent portfolios. Two senior ORC staff, Anatoly Grudinin and Mikhail Zervas, will be technical directors.
Professor Payne said: "Between us we have over 100 years of experience at the top of the optical telecoms field. For this reason, we have attracted an outstanding set of investors from the US and the UK and a record level of first-round funding."

FRASER FORSTER spent several long hours caught somewhere between outright fear and cautious anticipation as the England manager, Roy Hodgson, finalised the list of players to be told by text message that they ought to pack a bag for Brazil.
He realises all too clearly, however, that the same mobile telephone that brought the best news of his football career just last week may soon become the bane of his existence should those bearing the Three Lions add to their country's 48 years of ongoing hurt in the World Cup.
The Celtic goalkeeper has travelled with the rest of Hodgson's 23-man squad to a training camp in Portugal this week and will return home for a Wembley friendly with Peru on May 30 before relocating to Miami for his nation's final warm-up matches with Ecuador and Honduras.
Loading article content
Forster, in keeping with a growing number of players, will keep in touch with events back home through social media. He is a confirmed member of the Twitterati, posting about all manner of nonsense from punters wearing his name and number on their replica shirts to photos of him sharing a bath with some of his team-mates.
Should England fail to make an impression on football's biggest stage, however, the fun is likely to stop. They do not take kindly to failure in World Cups in southern parts and Forster accepts it will be almost impossible in these technologically-advanced times for the players to remain isolated from what is being said about their performances 6000 miles away.
"I'm on Twitter," he confessed. "I think it will be hard not to know what people are saying. Obviously, there are times when it benefits you to keep your distance but, with it being a World Cup, I think it will be hard to avoid finding out."
Forster, for the moment at least, remains on a high following his international call-up in the wake of a fine season at domestic and European level with the SPFL Premiership champions.
He recalls with great relish the moment he discovered he had made the cut and admits he will never forget the tension involved in waiting for definitive news of his inclusion.
"It was something special," recalled the 26-year-old. "You dream of it as a kid. A World Cup in Brazil is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
"I think we all got a text just before the squad came out. You are sitting all morning just waiting for that text to come through. You don't leave your phone anywhere. When it does come through, it is a very special moment, and then there is the opportunity to tell all your friends and family. It is something you will remember forever."
The 2012 European Championship did bring with it a new sense of realism within supporters and professional observers of the English national team. There was a realisation they were not going to win, an acceptance that 1966 and all that is no longer relevant. Hodgson's side went out to Italy on penalty kicks in the quarter-finals.
There is little to suggest England will be in the shake-up when the World Cup in Brazil reaches its latter stages. Indeed, most bookmakers have them priced-up to finish third in a group that includes Italy, Uruguay and Costa Rica. Forster, however, is remaining resolutely upbeat.
"Going into a World Cup, you have got to believe that you can win every game," he stated. "I think it is a tough group. Obviously, Italy and Uruguay are going to be very tough, but all the games will be hard. With the climate, it won't be straightforward. It is a World Cup, so every team is there on merit. They have all come through tough qualifying groups and everyone will be out to prove something."
Forster hopes to add to the one cap he earned against Chile in a 2-0 friendly defeat last November during England's warm-up campaign and welcomes the opportunity to spend time with the rest of the squad in Portugal given the fact he has not yet become an established member of the group.
"I think the trip can only help," said the former Newcastle United player, who looks likely to be competing with Ben Foster to be confirmed as the No.2 goalkeeper behind Joe Hart of Manchester City.
"It's a bit more time together with the lads. We can use all that time together because the gaffer will want to work on different things. That extra bit of time is something you don't normally get as an international team.
"This build-up period will give everybody an opportunity to work more on team shape and the way we want to play."

Last week's Pugwash meeting focused on what technology can add to weapons in the realm of smart guns. The topic was not gun rights, but instead how technology could be used to overcome ethical issues surrounding gun rights.
You may have heard of the Internet of Things, the idea that we can connect objects, even mundane ones, to technology in order to make them function more effectively. When applied to firearms, this can lead to safety features like thumbprint scanners or other locking mechanisms; other potential features are increased capabilities like advanced aiming features or being able to adjust bullet velocity.

The House that MTV built
SOUTH CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- On a weekday, in the middle of a workday, Beechwood Drive in South Charleston is mostly quiet, except for a few small dogs yapping at strangers from behind the safety of a chain-link fence. From the street, you can hear the low hum of cars on the highway and the distant sounds of Charleston. Beechwood Drive, just on the other side of the Charleston city limits, seems like a nice neighborhood. But back in the spring, it wasn't. For about six weeks, MTV shot parts of its upcoming "reality" show "Buckwild" at a yellow house on the street. Melissa Whitman and her family live across from it."The realtor told me that they'd just rented the house to a television show and that she'd arranged for some girls to move in," the 37-year-old mother of two said. "She couldn't tell me who or why because she said she'd signed a confidentiality agreement but that I could Google it."Whitman said that she and her husband, Michael, checked it out and saw something about MTV filming a series in West Virginia. A few weeks later, four girls moved in."The first few weeks we didn't hear too much from them," she said.And then one day, half a dozen black SUVs with out-of-state plates showed up, and that's when things got weird. For the next month, Whitman said the MTV camera crew's vehicles choked the narrow street and blocked the entrances to people's homes at different hours. She said they frequently shot in the middle of the night, bathed the area in light and seemed not to care whether they interfered with the lives of people in the neighborhood.Whitman said they were obnoxious and inconsiderate ... and then there were the show's stars. "I want to say that it all has to do with being young," she said. "Someone tells you they can make you famous and give you some money, and you think sure, but if I'd behaved like those kids did when I was their age, my father would have hung me upside down until I came to my senses." The show's production was chaotic and noisy, but Whitman said the worst thing was the language, which often turned profane."It got so bad, I'd leave the house and have to put my hands over my 5-year-old's ears." Whitman said the neighborhood has a lot of young children. Nobody was happy about the disturbances, but there seemed to be little anyone could do about it. "The police were up here," she said. "They came up a couple of times to tell them to quiet it down, but the second the cops were gone, they went right back to it."That the cast and crew could continue shooting where they left off might underscore something Whitman noticed. For a reality show, a lot of "Buckwild" looked faked."Of course, it was made up," she said. "All of this was coaxed, coerced, scripted or whatever."Whitman said she watched them re-shoot and tweak scenes. She said, "The big moving-in scene was shot two weeks after the girls were already living there. They shot the scene with the kid throwing trash into the back of the garbage truck at the end of the street."The old people who live there have no idea what they were doing outside of their house."Some of the confrontations, she said, are also staged. In the show's promotional trailer, a black woman with dark red hair is seen confronting the cast. Whitman said it was completely manufactured. "She doesn't live here," Whitman said. "She was visiting some people next door. The director got her to come over. He told her what to say. They must have shot that scene six times."The girls moved out in the middle of May. Members of the film crew took over the house as a place to stay, except for when it was needed for re-shoots."We didn't have much trouble from the camera guys," she said.Whitman remembers wistfully when MTV used to play music videos. "Buckwild" seems so far from that, and the show bothers her. It bothers her that "Buckwild" appears to be about a group of mostly middle-class kids, some of whom went to school in South Hills, doing their best to make the state look awful.And she hates that they did this in her neighborhood, across the street from her house.

Do you know what a lithophane is? Unless you're an art expert or studied art history, you probably don't.
I didn't until my Memorial Day weekend road trip to Toledo, where the Blair Museum of Lithophanes is nestled on the grounds of the Toledo Botanical Gardens in the Ottawa Hills neighborhood, just a couple of miles west of downtown.
The Blair Museum features the world's largest collection of antique lithophanes. Toledo realtor, investor and art collector Laurel Blair amassed 2,300 of them, and a significant portion are displayed.
So what is a lithophane? The Greek origin means "light in stone" or to "appear in stone." But the objects have nothing to do with stone.
They are porcelain castings, which in normal light seem to be bumpy surfaces forming a vague picture. But when the ambient light is extinguished and the lithophane is backlit, a beautiful, three-dimensional picture emerges.
An explanation doesn't do justice to a lithophane. You really have to see one to understand and appreciate it. The art style was created in Europe in the 1820s, and became popular in the mid-19th century.
The artwork begins with a thin sheet of beeswax, into which the artist carves a picture, a plaster-of-Paris mold is made from the wax carving and a porcelain slip is poured into the mold to dry.
Removed from the mold, the porcelain is then fired. Where the picture is the lightest, the porcelain is very thin. Where it is darkest, the porcelain is very thick.
Lithophanes function as candle shields, night lights, lampshades, fire screens and tea warmers, and sometimes are hung in windows to catch the light.
The Blair Museum collection features a vast array of subjects -- reproductions of famous religious art, nature, landscapes and seascapes, historic figures, architecture and scenes of everyday life. They are quite delightful.
Blair first discovered lithophanes in 1961 while attending a meeting of art collectors in Berlin Heights. After collecting dozens of them, he opened a museum in his home in 1965, and in 1993 donated his collection to the city of Toledo.
In 2002, the new museum opened to the public. Its first curator was Dr. Margaret Carney, who is said to have authored the first book on lithophanes in 180 years.
More modern lithophane makers also are featured in the museum's collection, including ones produced by the Porcelain Garden, Benardaud of Limoges and Light Affections.
The Sylvania Heritage Center Museum and an adjacent pioneer village are worthwhile attractions to visit in the Toledo area. Sylvania is a suburb on the city's northwest side.
Since 1992 the heritage center has been housed in Dr. Uriah Cooke's former home, which he acquired in 1897. It remained in his family until 1989, when the city of Sylvania purchased it. The complex is managed by the Sylvania Area Historical Society.
The house sports an intact apothecary and medicine counter and some floors are done in a technique called featherflocking. The Toledo Area Miniature Enthusiasts have set up dioramas and doll houses. Outside, the bottom half of a windmill remains and grave markers found in town are lined up in the backyard.
In the pioneer village are a log house from the 1840s which was dismantled and moved there, and a railroad depot that served the town from 1858 to 1956. It is considered the oldest former depot existing in Ohio.
There also are a replica of the 1844 Stone Academy, a one-room school; a replica of a Toledo interurban car barn; and a replica of an 1844 vintage barn which houses a blacksmith and carpentry shop, where those skills are sometimes demonstrated.
Rounding out the grounds are a 10-ton restored electric locomotive built for the Toledo & Western Interurban Railroad and a caboose similar to one used by the Toledo, Angola and Western Railroad, plus the Sister City Garden, which celebrates Sylvania's alliance with Woodstock in Ontario, Canada.
I browsed around the Toledo History Museum on Collingwood Boulevard in the Old West End area for about an hour. It occupies the Milmine-Stewart House, built in 1874 for wealthy grain merchant George Milmine and sold to Walter and Ann Stewart in 1916.
In 1930-31, Stewart leased the property to the Toledo Clinic until 1970, when the building was donated to the Lucas County Board of Mental Retardation and Developmental Disabilities, and was acquired by its present owner in 2007.
Antique furniture is found in rooms on the first floor of the house, and the second floor houses some exhibits relating to Toledo history, including items from and photos of some of the famous companies which once operated there.
Among some facts about Toledo which visitors will learn are:
A Toledo company (EPRAD) made the first commercially successful car speaker for drive-in theaters.
The Willy's-Overland plant in Toledo was the world's largest automobile manufacturing facility in 1918, employing 15,000 people.
The first wireless radio transmission on land occurred in 1907 in Toledo.
A Toledo resident (Michael J. Owens) invented the bottlemaking machine.
Just down the street from the history museum is Mansion View, a special events center and bed and breakfast operated by the Old West End Association. It's a majestic 10,000-square-foot mansion with three floors, 18 rooms, a long front porch and carriage portico with a side entrance.
The Old West End neighborhood features one of the largest concentrations of Victorian and Edwardian homes in the nation.
Our Lady, Queen of the Most Holy Rosary Cathedral is the mother church of the Catholic Diocese of Toledo, and it is a magnificent building. It's located in the Old West End, and was designed in the Spanish plateresque style with Toledo, Spain in mind.
It was constructed between 1926 and 1931 at a cost of $3.25 million, but was not dedicated until October 1940. It houses a large, four-manual Skinner pipe organ from 1930. A sister organ resides in the concert hall at the Toledo Museum of Art.
The building measures 285 feet long by 215 feet wide, with a height from floor to peak of 96 feet. It can seat 1,400. A rose window in front is 28 feet in diameter. The parish completed a restoration of the church interior in 2000.
Scott High School in the Old West End, just a couple of blocks from the cathedral, is one of the most stately schools I've seen in Ohio. The three-story, U-shaped building was erected in 1913 and is named for a former editor of the Toledo Blade from 1844-47.
Costly renovations of schools that old are almost unheard of today, but the Toledo school district sunk $42 million into Scott's restoration, which took 2 1/2 years and was completed in 2011.
A few years ago, Scott transformed from a comprehensive high school to four smaller learning academies, each of which is based on a different career pathway.
A new $1.1 million football stadium and track is being built at the school, which once boasted a 10,000-seat stadium that was condemned and demolished in 1970. A 4,000-seat replacement stadium completed in 1971 was torn down during the recent renovation project.
This building on the edge of downtown overlooking the Maumee River was erected in 1859 and is one of Toledo's oldest existing commercial structures. It originally served as a hotel and later was used for manufacturing and as a warehouse. The hotel had 171 rooms, each with a fireplace, running water and gas lighting.
It is home to the Maumee Bay Brewing Co. and four restaurants / pubs. Among the craft brewery's beers is Buckeye, which was brewed in Toledo from 1838 to 1972. The new brewery acquired the rights to revive the beer. I enjoyed a couple of glasses and brought home a 12-pack.
I didn't get to visit it, but the Butterfly House at Wheeler Farms, 4 1/2 miles south of Toledo Express Airport, sounds like an interesting place.
It contains more than 1,000 butterflies in a 3,000-square-foot glass conservatory. Butterflies can be observed fluttering from flower to flower feeding on the nectar. Since the average life span of a butterfly is two to three weeks, new species are introduced frequently.

Store used 'standover tactics'
A bill handed to a new mum who walked out of a Palmerston North department store without paying for a bottle of shampoo has been branded "standover tactics" and legally questionable.
Palmerston North's Emma Watty, 24, was shopping with her 12-year-old niece and 4-month-old baby when she was stopped by Farmers store security in The Plaza, having dropped a $16 bottle of shampoo on her pram, and walked out with it last Friday afternoon.
Ms Watty paid for the item, but was banned from Farmers for two years and handed a "civil recovery demand" of $295.
She was subsequently also banned from The Plaza for two years.
Police were called but Ms Watty said she didn't have a criminal record and was let off with a warning.
She said she had been intending to pay for it along with a beauty procedure she wanted at one of the beauty counters, but had forgotten about it in the 15 minutes she'd had to wait to be seen by the beautician. She paid for her treatment, and walked out.
The bottle was lying in view across her baby's legs, with the pram hood pulled back, not tucked away or hidden, she said.
Security caught up with Ms Watty as she went to enter another shop a short distance away inside The Plaza.
She said she was extremely embarrassed and apologetic, but as she tried to explain it was an honest mistake, security allegedly told her "I know what you mothers are like with your prams".
All up, she spent about half an hour in a back room with security, and part of that time was spent feeding her baby. She had to send her niece to heat up his bottle because she was not allowed to leave the store.
Her mugshot was taken on the shop floor.
"I just felt really humiliated, like it was a power trip for him."
A request from her to watch the footage was rejected, she said.
Palmerston North lawyer Tony Thackery strongly suggested Ms Watty get some legal advice before paying the bill.
"I don't think they can enforce it like it was a liquidated claim - they would have to establish loss and what they're seeking is appropriate damages," he said.
"She should be saying to them 'I want the justification for that and a breakdown about how they arrived at that figure'."
Otago University Law Faculty Dean Professor Mark Henaghan said Farmers would have to take the matter to the Disputes Tribunal to try and enforce such a fee.
"There's no automatic enforcement right here at all."
Prof Henaghan said that for the criminal act of shoplifting, a person would have to intend not to pay.
"Forgetfulness is not shoplifting," he said.
"These are kind-of standover tactics.
"No lawyer would tell her to pay that in those sorts of circumstances, I'm pretty sure."
Prof Henaghan said he had heard of other department stores imposing similar fees, but they were effectively "taking the law into their own hands", when they should be arguing for a law change so they could impose such fines in such circumstances on a statutory basis.
Ms Watty said she understood there had been cases of people stealing things by putting them in prams, but each situation should be treated on a case-by-case basis.
She didn't mind so much being trespassed from one store, but she loved The Plaza.
"I just felt like an idiot, I was angry at myself. A lot of mothers have said to me they do stuff like that.
"If I had noticed it, I would have gone back and said, 'I've just noticed this shampoo', and paid for it, because I'm honest."
The Plaza management confirmed they were looking into Ms Watty's situation after one of her friends posted her tale on Facebook.
It had since garnered a number of comments from other parents who had done the same thing.
The new mum was on medication for post-natal depression, and it tended to make her quite forgetful, but she didn't want to use that as an excuse, she said.
Farmers national loss prevention manager Nathan Breed said the "demand" - they do not call it a fine - was a flat rate that was applied to all shoplifters.
It was a "reimbursement of the costs associated with attempting recovery of our goods and administration with the investigation and interview processes".
Farmers reserved the right to pursue any and all available legal remedies if it was not paid, he said.
Farmers had a "zero tolerance" policy towards theft, and once it had been confirmed a crime had been committed, a trespass notice was issued immediately.
Although there was a review process if a shoplifter felt unjustly treated or there were extenuating circumstances, there had been no such request for a review in this case, he said.

Ray Neri: Lealman will 'evaporate'
LEALMAN - The "A" word -- or annexation -- has always been a touchy topic in this fiercely proud and independent unincorporated area, which has seen portions of itself nibbled away by St. Petersburg, Pinellas Park and Seminole as those cities annexed properties to broaden their tax bases.
But now annexation has prompted a spat of sorts between the Lealman Fire Commission and Kenneth City. Kenneth City's recent annexations of 10 properties prompted the fire board to cancel a contract under which Lealman provides fire service to the town.
While fire board members blame Kenneth City for their actions, they say they're not holding grudges.
"Kenneth City made a business decision in annexing," fire board member Kathleen Litton said Tuesday. "We made a business decision in terminating the agreement. ... They had a great deal with us."
Fellow board member Linda Campbell said: "She forced us to (cancel) the contract."
"She" being Kenneth City Mayor Pro Tem Teresa Zemaitis.
What was particularly galling, Campbell said, was Zemaitis' strategy in encouraging people to annex into the town: touting the low cost of fire coverage by Lealman in comparison to what Lealman charges its taxpayers.
"That just blew me away," Campbell said.
And fire Chief Rick Graham added that the fire district's attorneys advised that the contract be canceled to preserve Lealman's ability to try to to claim the tax revenues to any annexed properties for up to four years after the annexation. Under the contract, Lealman cannot do that.
"We were forced to (terminate) according to our attorneys," Graham said. "They don't have to annex."
Community activist Ray Neri, president of the Lealman Community Association, which has spearheaded the organized drive against annexation, praised the board's actions.
Zemaitis, he said, has "visions of a grander, bigger Kenneth City."
To do that, Kenneth City would have to annex properties out of Lealman. But Lealman residents have asked the county Legislative Delegation for an "all or nothing" bill to protect it. The bill would require an annexing city to take all of the Lealman area if it wanted to take even one piece. And Lealman voters would have the final say on whether it happened.
But Neri said Tuesday he really doesn't see that happening because "so many members of the delegation are owned by cities."
"The annexation issue has worn everyone out because there's just no winning," Neri said. "It's not that I'm a defeatist. (I'm a) realist. ... The annexation laws were made for counties to be fodder for the cities."
As for the future, Neri predicted more annexations: "Ultimately, Lealman's going to evaporate."

Installing a keyboard is a pretty simple affair, just plug in the USB connector and pop in the software CD. The Elixir is supported in Windows XP and Vista and the hardware is detected automatically. It is noticeably wider than a standard 104-key keyboard, even with some squeezing done in the cursor key area. Because of this, the Elixir overlaps the mousepad slightly on my keyboard tray, by maybe an inch or more.
The Alchemy software uses a pictorial layout of the keyboard, showing all the custom keys in their positions around the board. Clicking on any one of the programmable keys will open a pop-up window and prompt the user to change the assigned value. Multiple profiles can be saved and later loaded, giving a lot of flexibility for using the Elixir in different games and apps, or even between several users.
Let's wrap things up with some final thoughts and conclusion.

My favorite lead route at Old SS and one of my all time DL fav's. A way better alternative to Gargantua... Excellent pro all the way up.
Spicey finish moves as we all know.

|Ah but the mantle on Gargantua is super fun! Or maybe I just like mantles. Ditto on the finish though, I came very close to flubbing the exit mantle while leading Gargantua and almost took a very exciting head over heals fall. Both routes are great though, and I've still got to get back and lead Tarantula.

|That's one of my favorite moves in all of DL. I once led this in December and then the next time I led it was in the summer- and the holds were sort of greasy on the mantle move. For some reason or another my toe slipped off as I was pressing over and I "down campused" and let my right foot dangle and had to re-mantle in order to save myself from slamming into the boulder below. A very exciting lead but I do agree that Tarantula is also an exceptional lead.

"The two 5-0 scorelines in the Premier League opening day fixtures got me thinking," writes Ollie Regan. "What's the highest scoring opening weekend in history?"
The 27 goals scored last weekend was actually a distinctly mediocre return in comparison to most opening weekends, despite Fulham and Swansea's best efforts. It barely made a challenge to rival the Premier League's 36-goal record, set in the 2003-04 season, and was dwarfed by the 1926-27 English top flight's record of 52 goals, which had an average of 4.72 goals per game.
But that in turn is nothing compared to the achievements elsewhere in Europe. Of late Belgium has been the place to be for opening day goal gluts. In 1999-2000 40 goals were scored in nine matches (helped considerably by Westerlo and Genk's 6-6 draw) and two years later the Jupiler league clocked up another 39 on opening day (this time admittedly helped by Mouscron being awarded a 5-0 win at Aalst due to an inelligible player)
Spain's top-flight managed to average 5.375 goals-per-game on the opening weekend of the 1950-51 season – the eight fixtures included an 8-2, a 6-2, a 5-0, a 3-3, a 3-2, a 4-0 and a 3-1 with only Real Valladolid and Deportivo letting the side down with a disappointing 1-0. There must have been something in the water in Europe that weekend – Serie A also registered an exceptionally productive opening day with 4.5 goals per game. Compare that to 1979-80, when the eight matches mustered only six goals between them.
So La Liga's golden opening to the 1950-51 season is the best we can manage. If you can do better, please let us know at the usual address.
One of the greatest hauls of goals came in Argentina in the first fixtures of the 1927 season. Fifty goals were scored on the opening day, although that's not quite so impressive when you discover that the league was a bumper version consisting of 34 teams. Which leads us on to another question – the following season, thanks to its strange relegation rules, Argentina featured a league of 36 teams. Has any league ever been bigger?

Last week we pondered whether Atvidabergs FF's club crests carried a feminist message (it didn't) and asked whether any clubs had badges that carry political messages.
And Jörg Michner answered the call: "Obviously there is Red Star Belgrade, formed by Yugoslavian Communist leader Tito, who feature a massive red star in their crest. During the Soviet era numerous other Eastern European clubs featured red stars and the hammer and sickle.
"During Mussolini's reign in Italy, Lazio sported the fasces in their crest (the eagle was holding them in his claws).
"Austria's oldest football club, founded in 1894, First Vienna FC, has the triskelion (or triskele) in its crest. It is not purely a political symbol but a pagan (celtic) one with basically the same meaning as the Sanskrit swastika picked up by the Nazis. Today many far right-wing organisations use the triskelion, most prominently the neo-Nazi network Blood and Honour. The First Vienna FC supporters pride themselves in being far left and anti-fascists and they point out that the crest was designed by one of the founders, a certain William Beale who hailed from the Isle of Man. And guess what the island's flag looks like? Also, it is interesting to note that the club's colours blue and yellow are those of Nathaniel Anselm von Rothschild, who helped set up the club.
"This is not really about crests but still interesting: Many German clubs still feature latinised names of Germanic tribes and places, such as Borussia (Prussia), Alemannia or Germania. Today this bears absolutely no political connotation but prior to World War I football was regarded an "un-German" pastime by the popular and powerful, generally nationalistic, gymnastics clubs. The football clubs thus gave themselves "nationalistic" names to make it clear that they are loyal to the Emperor and the nation. At the very beginning of Germany's football history many clubs had actually named themselves Britannia in honour of the game's inventors. This name quickly disappeared at the outbreak of the first world war …"
"Would it be safe to assume that the 49,118 that went to Rangers' home game against East Stirlingshire on Saturday is a new world record for a fourth-tier match, barring play-off finals?" wonders Vicent Lacey. "If so, what was the previous record?"
Plenty of sources have claimed that Rangers and, to give the away fans their due, East Stirling did indeed set a fourth-tier attendance record at the weekend. The number at Ibrox, reports pointed out, dwarfed the previous fourth-tier record of 37,774, set by Crystal Palace and Millwall at Selhurst Park in 1961. But did that mean a fourth-tier record?
Here's Fraser Pettigrew with the case for the (record) defence. "Two English League Two play-off finals at Wembley have comfortably exceeded Rangers' recent crowd: Bristol Rovers 3-1 win over Shrewsbury Town in 2007 (61,589) and Gillingham's 1-0 victory over the same unfortunate Salopians in 2009 (53,706).
"I'm not having the argument that these weren't genuine fourth-tier matches. They were games between two fourth-tier clubs to determine the final placings and promotion spots from the fourth-tier league. If that's not fourth-tier, what is?
"However, even if you don't accept that, here have also been three higher fourth tier crowds in Brazil in the past two years, all involving the Santa Cruz club."
There was some suggestion that Rangers might set a world record for an attendance outside the top two tiers, but they fall well short there too, as explained in this Knowledge from 2011:
"The English record attendance for a third-tier match was the 'Boxing Day massacre' between Sheffield United and Wednesday on 26 December 1979," wrote Alex Hannick last week. "But is this the largest attendance for a third-tier derby/game that has taken place globally?"
"The 49,309 people that watched the 'Boxing Day massacre' by no means constitutes the all-time attendance record for a third-tier game," notes Tim Dockery. "Fortuna Düsseldorf have a somewhat storied past after winning two German Cups, losing the 1979 European Cup Winners' Cup final to Barcelona in extra-time and spending over 20 years in the Bundesliga. Having been relegated in 1997, they have bounced around the lower leagues, going as low as the fourth division from 2002 to 2004.
"During the 2008-09 season, Fortuna competed in the 3rd Liga where they set their own average attendance record at over 28,000 per game. That season ended with them securing promotion into the 2 Bundesliga with a win over Werder Bremen II in front of 50,095 people. However that's still not the record.
"Having won Serie A twice with Diego Maradona, Napoli went into slow decline and were declared bankrupt and forced to fold in 2004. To ensure that Napoli would still have a team, the film producer Aurelio De Laurentiis founded Napoli Soccer, who were immediately placed in Serie C. On 7 February 2005 their game against Reggiana was played in front of 62,058 spectators. Not only was this an all-time attendance record for Serie C, it was higher than the record attendance that season of all but 10 clubs in Europe."
But wait. Liam Corte has more. "One instance that came to mind was a recent, rather tragic occasion. In Serie C in Brazil in 2007, over 60,000 turned up to see Bahia win promotion against Vila Nova. Part of the stadium collapsed, causing the deaths of several fans."
"In light of Real Madrid's sacking of Fabio Capello, are there any other managers who have been sacked after winning the league title twice by the same club?" enquired Gordon Tait back in the innocent days of 2007.
Madrid actually only swung the axe at poor Fabio's head on one occasion, Gordon; on the other, in 1997, he left the Bernabéu for Milan of his own accord. However, Vicente del Bosque has been effectively sacked by the club twice: first, during a short tenure as manager in 1994 and then, infamously, in 2003 when the club decided not to renew his contract even though he had just led the club to their second La Liga title in three seasons. He had also, somewhat shabbily, won two Champions League crowns in his four years in charge. "Del Bosque was showing signs of exhaustion," deadpanned the Real president Florentino Pérez, before adding, with a straight face: "I want to be sincere about this - our belief that he was not the right coach for the future."
Even before Del Bosque, Real had form for severing the hand that feeds them: in 1998, they sacked the German coach Jupp Heynckes after just one season - a season in which Real won the European Cup for the first time in 32 years. Heynckes paid the price for some relatively miserable domestic form - Real finished fourth in La Liga, although they actually lost fewer games than the champions Barcelona - and was gone within eight days of the 1-0 victory over Juventus.
However, surely the hardest-done-by manager in history was the Bayern Munich boss Udo Lattek, also sacked by his paymasters on two occasions. "In 1975, after he had won three German championships in a row and the European Cup, a Bayern side full of tired World Cup winners only finished 10th in the league," recalls Raphael Honigstein. "Legend has it he then told club president Wilhelm Neudecker that 'things have to change', only to receive the reply: 'Yes, they have to: you're fired!' He was reappointed in 1983 and again won three German championships and two cups in four seasons. But the European Cup final defeat in 1987 exposed a fraught relationship with his players. The club ultimately blamed him for the 2-1 loss against Porto and he was sacked. Again."

"I heard from a mate that no Bury player has scored a hat-trick this millennium," begins Liam Corte. "I laughed this off as an obviously made-up stat, but I then went through Bury's results and it seems to be true: No one has done it since Ian Lawson in August 1999. That's got to be some sort of record, surely?"

DALLAS — Southwest Airlines is ordering 150 of Boeing's fuel-efficient 737 MAX airplanes and will be the launch customer for the aircraft in 2017, the airline said Tuesday.
"Today's environment demands that we become more fuel-efficient and environmentally friendly, and as the launch customer of the Boeing 737 MAX, we have accomplished both," Southwest chairman and chief executive Gary Kelly said.
Southwest, the top airline at Tampa International Airport based on passenger traffic, also said it is ordering 58 more of the current-generation Boeing 737s, making the order of 208 jets the largest firm order in Boeing's history, as well as the biggest in terms of list price — more than $19 billion.
"This is a thrilling day for us," said Boeing Commercial Airplanes president and CEO Jim Albaugh. "It truly is Christmas come early for Boeing."
With Tuesday's order, Southwest has 350 airplanes ordered for delivery between 2012 and 2022. In addition, it has options to buy 78 more of the current generation and 150 of the MAX version.
Southwest, which had 699 airplanes in its fleet and that of subsidiary AirTran Airways as of Sept. 30, said the new planes "are intended to predominately serve as replacement aircraft as the airline continues the modernization of its fleet."
Boeing has been looking at building an entirely new replacement for the Boeing 737, but wouldn't be able to deliver such an aircraft until early in the next decade. Meanwhile, competitor Airbus had launched a new-engine option, the Airbus A320neo, and airlines lined up to order that airplane, with deliveries to begin in 2015.
Albaugh said Boeing has commitments for 948 of the 737 MAX, and he expects 1,400 to 1,500 by the end of 2012.
But "this is the first definitive order we've signed," Albaugh said. "These are firm orders. That means Southwest Airlines will get the first airplane that rolls off the lines."
He gave Kelly a model of the 737 MAX, which isn't expected to fly until 2016 or be delivered until 2017.
"Gary, I wish I had a real airplane out on the ramp for you," Albaugh said.
"Me, too," Kelly said.
Boeing is promising fuel improvements of 10 to 11 percent from a new engine, the CFM International LEAP-1B engines, along with lower emissions.

Reviews forCranberry Brie Pinwheels
My Review
Average Rating
"Very YUMMY"
"This recipe is amazing. I absolutely love everything about these. As one person said, the roll is hard to keep together but all you have to do is pinch the opening and then hold it as you slice and carefully place it on the baking sheet. If you're worried about the frozen dough cracking, just put it in the microwave for 30 seconds. This recipe definitely deserves 5 stars!"
"Yum! I didn't use honey or spinach in the filling, just dijon mustard, cranberries and brie. They are so good."
"easy to make and look really nice for the holidays."
"Kept the dough moist with a sheet of Saranwrap over the dough until I was ready. Worked great."
"Blondienot40 , You probably let it dry out too much is all I can think of to tell you . Keep it moist when lieing out with a damp towel over it . Hope this helps ."
"My pastry shell fell apart when I cut it. Help what caused that."
