Set in Florida in the early 1990s, director Michael Bay's would-be caper follows a trio of dimwitted bodybuilders: personal trainers Daniel Lugo (Mark Wahlberg) and Paul Doyle (Dwayne Johnson) and ex-con gym rat Adrian Doorbal (Anthony Mackie). Dissatisfaction with his working-class lot prompts Daniel to come up with an extortion scheme -- and to recruit his two pals as accomplices.
Their target is one of Daniel's clients, abrasive but successful businessman Victor Kershaw (Tony Shalhoub). Kidnapping Victor, the boys plan to beat and torture him into signing over all his holdings to them. Once he does so, they'll kill him.
Despite the array of slapstick errors they commit while executing it, their harebrained plot almost succeeds. But then, thanks in large part to the intervention of straight-arrow police officer-turned-private-eye Ed Du Bois (Ed Harris), things begin to unravel.
In adapting a series of magazine articles by Pete Collins, Bay invites viewers to marvel at the he-men's jaw-dropping stupidity. But the nasty proceedings that pit these dopes against the thoroughly unlikable Victor -- and, subsequently, against a predictably low-minded porno king -- involve too much cruelty and bloodletting to register as comic.
Via Adrian's behind-bars conversion to a simplistic, utterly hypocritical brand of Catholicism, faith comes in for a satiric bashing. So it's hardly a surprise when we see the seedy clergyman to whom Adrian turns for help on his release from the big house start to put the moves on his newfound protege.
Happily married Ed provides the picture's slim moral core. But, surrounded by gleeful greed, mindless mayhem and dumbbell debauchery, the center, in the words of poet W.B. Yeats, cannot hold.
The film contains a negative portrayal of Christian faith and clergy, brutal, sometimes gory violence, strong sexual content -- including graphic sex acts, masturbation and upper female and rear nudity -- drug use, about a half-dozen instances of profanity and pervasive rough and crude language. The Catholic News Service classification is O -- morally offensive. The Motion Picture Association of America rating is R -- restricted. Under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian.

Wed, May 06, 2015, 11:03 AM
Chiranjeevi might have not acted in films for the last seven years, but his craze has not died down. Still few directors and Kollywood heroes are using his movie names and titles for their movies. Recently, hero Vishal used 'Maga Maharaju' as his movie title. Its known that Charan and Bunny have used his craze to the core. But, even hero Surya is using it by taking his old movie title for his upcoming movie 'Mass'. Verma is using a word from a hit song of mega star as a title for his movie.

U.S. Midwest Gasoline Pricing and the Spring 2000 Price Spike
Gasoline prices increased dramatically in the U.S. Midwest in the summer of 2000, generating allegations of collusion among gasoline marketers. We examine the causes of the price increase, and find no evidence to support the collusion story. Instead, a combination of industry characteristics and unanticipated problems in switching to a new, federally-mandated gasoline specification caused the spike. Once prices rose, firms responded as quickly as possible to get additional supplies to affected markets.

New gun!
My POS PT1911 will officially get benched as a carry gun whenever Taurus decides to send me my backored part, so I needed a new .45 Auto.
I think the P345 is very under rated and I got this one for $470+tax so it's about half the cost of a 1911 and undoubtedly more reliable.
I just got it home so I won't be able to report on how she fires till later this weekend.

"undoubtably more reliable"
Do you mean more reliable than the Taurus or 1911's in general? So, do you plan on carrying the beast or is it just a range gun? If you do plan on carrying it, what will you use and how will you carry it? Congrats on the new Ruger and let us know how it shoots.

I can't speak for all 1911's but my taurus has had enough problems that I don't trust it anymore. I plan to carry it with a Crossbreed holster. I have one for the PT and it carries well.
I got her to the range today and I kept grouping left. This is my 10th pistol so I know it's not my technique.
I only had one failure to feed with some cheap Walmart Federal Ammo. This was after I got it good and fowled with my cast handloads which I cast too soft for an automatic pistol so I was just trying to get rid of them.
I took it home and after a good cleaning I used my laser bore sight and sure enough it told me the POI was to the left, lucky for me the rear sight is adjustable, but not easy.
I had to remove a little screw then get out my plastic punch and hammer. After a generous amount of whacks I was able to get my sights lined up with the red dot.
The tightest groups I shot were with my Berry's plated handload with a dash of Bullseye in it.
After my 150 rounds the takedown pin comes out much easier. It was hard as heck to do before and the takedown lines don't match up right so that didn't make it any easier for the first field strip.
If I can get it at least as accurate as my J-frame I'll feel comfortable carrying this pistol, but I've still got more breakin/testing to do before I render judgement.

I may have a slight problem so other P345 owners please chime in.
It appears that if I very lightly touch the mag release it will drop the mag just slightly, about 1/8th to 1/4th.
The pressure it takes to do this is so slight I find myself dropping the mag slightly as I shoot. Now it still feeds in this condition but I'm still worried about it.
To drop the mag all the way it takes a more firm press of the button.
Is this normal?

The Ruger P Series is as rock-solid reliable as it gets. I think I would run over the thing with my SUV, confidently re-holster it for immediate CCW use absent either a test fire or concern (I exaggerate [actually, maybe not] but you get my point...).

Steve- Congrats on the new Ruger. If the mag is dropping out with a slight touch of the release I would say something is wrong. Your pistol has a magazine disconnect and the pistol won't fire if the magazine isn't inserted completely. And for some strange reason Ruger decided that if the gun is dry fired with the magazine removed it will break and you will get the dreaded "click-no-bang", even if the magazine is installed. It happened once on mine. I would get that looked at before carrying. I traded my P345 off for a P90 when the slide stop started popping out when I "sling-shotted" the slide closed. My P345 also didn't feed some ammo well, mostly my handloaded flat points but some hollowpoints too so make sure your ammo is totally reliable before carrying. It was laser accurate once I got ammo fed though.

For this week, here's our great tips:
Pecan pie is popularly served at holiday meals and is also considered a specialty of Southern America cuisine.
Lentils are added to sauteed onions, carrots and celery. Lots of crushed tomatoes and water are added, and the magic begins. Make some Lentil Stew and remember to use our tip.

Georgia flames out at Florida
GAINESVILLE, Fla. - After Saturday's loss to Florida, Georgia coach David Perno feared that the Bulldogs had wasted an opportunity to win the series with Gators' ace Patrick Keating taking the mound Sunday.
Students' eastside apartment robbed
Burglars pried open the window of an apartment shared by two University of Georgia students at The Summit, 1035 Barnett Shoals, between 5:15 p.m. Saturday and 12:30 a.m. Sunday and stole laptop computers and an iPod with a total value of $1,900, Athens-Clarke police said.
Thieves throw rock through window
Thieves broke the rear window of a home on Pepperidge Lane with a rock between 11 a.m. Saturday and 6 p.m. Sunday and stole cash, ID and jewelry with a total value of $3,490, Athens-Clarke police said.
Electronics stolen from two vehicles
Thieves broke the windows to two vehicles parked at a Moose Club Condos, 101 Davis St., between 11 p.m. Friday and 6:15 a.m. Saturday and stole $2,300 in electronics, Athens-Clarke police said.
Flat tire draws police attention
University of Georgia police arrested a 21-year-old Hoschton man early Sunday when they found him fixing a flat tire while intoxicated and discovered a handgun in his car when they searched, UGA police said.
Family attacked by unknown man
A 40-year-old Athens man, his wife and daughter were assaulted Saturday by an unexpected guest while they visited friends at an Oak Hill Drive apartment complex, Athens-Clarke police said.
Lineman picks Georgia
Aaron Murray gave Georgia a verbal commitment last Thursday. The Tampa, Fla., quarterback then went to work to help the Bulldogs land an offensive lineman that plans to protect him as a left tackle.
Tennessee Tech added to Georgia's '09 schedule
Georgia has completed its 2009 football schedule by adding a home game with Tennessee Tech on Nov. 7 that will be sandwiched between SEC games against Florida and Auburn.
Smith: Georgia's been on Kubiak's mind
Those who know Gary Kubiak are generous in their appraisal of his considerable abilities, finding in him qualities that suggest he holds advantages that will bring championship dividends to the Houston Texans.
No place like home for Brown
If returning 17 starters from a team ranked No. 2 in the nation isn't enough to get Georgia fans jacked up, this weekend's NFL Draft might have served as further validation that the cupboard remains full in Athens.
Major BCS changes unlikely
HOLLYWOOD, Fla. - As they kicked off three days of meetings at an oceanfront resort, the Bowl Championship Series overseers appear to have a better chance of getting a sunburn than making any major changes in the controversial system.

Candice Groesbeck: Yarbrough column missed truly important point
When I was in school, I was required to find the topic sentence of an article. In Banner-Herald columnist Dick Yarbrough's Saturday opinion piece, "Foreign policy, Carter don't mix," the only topic sentence I could find was, "Along with Great Britain, Israel is our only true friend in the world."
J. Griffin Doyle: Flawed BCS worthy of Congress' attention
Although we may disagree on remedies, most college football fans agree with Congressman Lynn Westmoreland, R-Ga., that the Bowl Championship Series is deeply flawed and in need of reform. University of Georgia President Michael Adams expressed a similar view in early January when he suggested that a new National Collegiate Athletic Association selection committee be created to identify the best eight teams for the four major BCS bowls, to be followed by a two-game playoff.
Brittany Kelley: After-prom house party alternatives are needed
The Banner-Herald's April 13 story headlined "Prom season brings concerns" really touched me because more parents should be worried about their kids. I think it was a good idea for Leland Martin, father of Lee Martin, who died at an after-prom house party in the Barrow County town of Auburn, to set up a party to keep Winder-Barrow High School students from going to the alcohol-fueled house parties after the school's upcoming prom.
Molly Hurley Moran: Situation in Middle East needs '300 Jimmy Carters'
If Banner-Herald columnist Dick Yarbrough truly were concerned about finding a viable solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict (Column, "Foreign policy, Carter don't mix," Saturday), he would have attended the important talk given locally by two representatives of a Middle Eastern organization comprising Israelis and Palestinians who have lost loved ones in the conflict.
Grady L. Cornish: Room for improvement in admissions to UGA
University of Georgia President Michael Adams' defense of his decision to invite U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas to speak at the upcoming graduation ceremonies is laudable, intriguing and very much in keeping with the style he has exhibited during his presidency (Story, "Adams defends Thomas as graduation speaker," Wednesday). Once he makes a decision, he will fight tooth and nail to defend it. Like it or not, that style, along with some well-placed political support, has served Adams well.
Bruce Cottingham: Broun's mail and calls abuse the public trust
Like other writers, my household has received many letters and phone calls from Congressman Paul Broun. I've been able to block two numbers from which the telephone town halls are dialed, but there are other numbers. I e-mailed the congressman's office and sent him regular letters, yet the calls and mailings continued.

Magill: Living life high above the crowd - and Tallulah Gorge

Samantha Ronson And Lindsay Lohan Continue Their Party Train
Hey now, Samantha. There's no need to be making such sour puss. Your girl Lindsay is lending you her support while you spin at the Hawaiian Tropic Zone in Times Square. Granted, I'm sure her level of commitment to your relationship is falling a bit short of your expectations, but you should probably just enjoy the ride while it lasts.
Her father Michael Lohan has recently his expressed his concern for his daughter's current inner circle and rightfully so, since Lindsay was reportedly spotted that evening drinking Grey Goose and Red Bull cocktails and dancing. Only he tends to express his opinion with about as much decorum and nuance as a sledgehammer, so it's no wonder he's been cut out of her life at the moment.
Lindsay was certainly channeling her mother that night, with her blonde tresses and skin tone that appears to be slowly, but surely blending her multitude of freckles into a strange fake tan enjoyed by those fair-skinned individuals who refuse to acknowledge their melanin limitations.

Tammy Jackson Accepts Research Scholarship
Aug. 7, 2006
Tammy Jackson, a four-year member of the UCLA women's volleyball team, has been selected for UCLA's 2006-07 Undergraduate Research Scholars Program, receiving a scholarship from the Wasserman Foundation to conduct research for a senior thesis in Anthropology. Jackson joined the Bruins in 2002 and has one season of eligibility remaining but will forgo the 2006 season in order to pursue this academic opportunity.
In December 2005, Jackson was one of eight students accepted into Anthropology's Departmental Honors, a four-quarter long program which requires its members to write a thesis and maintain a GPA of 3.5 or higher within the department's course work. Over the last six months, Jackson has balanced her research and participation with the Bruins volleyball team, but she will now commit herself primarily to her academic pursuits. Jackson will spend August and September conducting field work in the Gardena area of Los Angeles.
Jackson's research looks at national identity construction for first and second generation Latino children through U.S. History curriculum in elementary schools, examining the effects of both explicit and implicit messages in curriculum on how children create a sense of where they fit in to their national culture.
While at UCLA, Jackson has been actively involved in University research, having worked in the Center for Everyday Lives of Families and currently with a professor in the education department. Jackson hopes to continue with her research interests and eventually pursue a career as a college professor.

21 Copper Lake Road, Loch Katrine, Nova Scotia, B0H, Canada
Kings United Church is a Gothic Revival church on Copper Lake Road at Loch Katrine, Antigonish County, Nova Scotia. Kings United Church is located in a pastoral setting overlooking South River Lake, Antigonish County. The cemetery is situated on the front slope of the church grounds, and features historic stones of early pioneers, along with grave markers of the present day. Built c. 1869, the building, cemetery and property are included in the municipal designation.
Kings United Church is significant for its association with Rev. John Franklin Forbes. Born c. 1834 Forbes was a native of Pictou County, Nova Scotia and died in Antigonish County in 1905. He served a nineteen-year term with the Presbyterian congregation of Lochaber district, Antigonish County. His leadership abilities were instrumental in reconciling religious differences between Free Church and Kirk Presbyterians of the area. During his tenure, the construction of two churches was undertaken in 1867, to better fill the needs of the population.
The cost of church construction was estimated at $8,000 for the two buildings. Rev. Forbes single-handedly committed $2,000 to construction costs and demonstrated a persuasive and targeted fundraising ability to that end. He assembled a building committee under the leadership of Donald Grant, contractor of Pictou County. Local timber and mills were employed during the construction phase and in January of 1869, the first gathering was held. A resolution was put forward at that time to name the building, Kings Church.
Kings United Church is also valued as a symbol acknowledging the region's rich Scottish heritage. An annual Kirking of the Tartans is held in conjunction with the Antigonish Highland Games. Commemorative crests representing twelve Scottish Clans have been created on stained glass panes for placement in church windows. Two separate stained glass windows depict religious themes including "The Lord is my Shepherd" and "Suffer the Little Children Come Unto me". The church building consists of a simple, rectangular form constructed in wood. Gothic windows and door arches have been incorporated into the design. Kings United Church is embellished with both Classical and Gothic detail.
The cemetery is a landscape feature which contains historic stones, along with grave markers of the present day.
Source: Registered Heritage Property file no. 314, Municipality of the County of Antigonish, Nova Scotia.
Character-defining elements of Kings United Church include:
- symmetrical three-bay façade with central double door;- simple gable roof with projecting tower;- square bell tower with spire; - tall Gothic windows along each side of the building; - two Gothic windows with tracery in central bay over main door;- cemetery with historic and modern stones;- rondel window in central tower;- stained glass windows;- pastoral setting at Loch Katrine.

May 5, 2010
WACO, Texas - Baylor's top-ranked women's tennis team will feature two singles players and one doubles tandem in the NCAA Singles and Doubles Championships held on May 26-31 in Athens, Ga., at the Dan Magill Tennis Complex. Earlier this week, Baylor was selected as the No. 1 overall seed and will host first and second round matches in the team competition.
Three-time All-American Lenka Broosova was selected as one of the 16 automatic conference selections. Broosova, ranked fifth in the latest Campbell's/ITA rankings, is 30-6 overall this season, including a 23-2 mark in dual-match play. The senior has a 16-5 record against ranked competition and is riding an eight-match win streak after collecting her fourth consecutive Big 12 regular season and tournament titles. Broosova will make her third consecutive appearance in the field, with her deepest coming in a quarterfinal appearance in 2008. She suffered an opening-round loss to seventh-ranked Hilary Barte of Stanford last season.
Lady Bears sophomore Nina Secerbegovic will be making her first appearance in the field after putting together a team-leading 36-4 overall record. Secerbegovic has a 27-2 record in dual-match play and was 12-3 against ranked opponents. Ranked 20th, she took home the Big 12 No. 2 singles title with a 10-1 record and is riding an eight-match win streak.
In doubles, the 11th-ranked duo of Broosova and Csilla Borsanyi will be making their second consecutive trip to the field, while the tournament will be Broosova's third. She paired with Zuzana Zemenova in 2008. This season, Broosova and Borsanyi have compiled a spectacular record of 23-4, including a 22-3 mark in dual-match play. The pair has won each of their last nine matches and had a 10-0 mark in Big 12 play. They were 6-3 against ranked competition this season. Last year, the pair played their way into the national semifinal beating three of the top 25 teams on the way, before falling to the seventh-ranked duo of Jana Juricova and Mari Anderson of Cal.
With these two, head coach Joey Scrivano has now had 15 selections into the NCAA Singles Tournament, as well as three doubles pairs in his eight years at the helm of the Baylor program. In 2005, Zemenova became the first unseeded player in NCAA history to win the singles national title.
The Lady Bears will be back on the court next weekend on May 14-15 as they host the first two rounds of the NCAA Team Championships at the Baylor Tennis Center. They will take on Northwestern State at 2 p.m. on Friday, May 14. Tulsa will take on North Texas earlier in the day, while the winners of each match will meet on Saturday, May 15, at 3 p.m.

Billy Boyd, John Challis and More Announced as Special Guests for THE HITCHHIKERÂ'S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY RADIO SHOW
Billy Boyd, John Challis, Neil Gaiman, John Lloyd, Terry Jones, Phill Jupitus, John Lloyd, Rory McGrath, Roger McGough, and Andrew Sachs are amongst the special VIP guests who will join the original cast of THE HITCHHIKER'S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY RADIO SHOW – LIVE! at various venues over the UK tour in the summer of 2012.
The Hitchhiker's Guide To the Galaxy originated as a radio series and one of its most unique elements was a Narrator - "THE VOICE OF THE BOOK" - who punctuated the action by reading out Hitchhiker's Guide Entries in a friendly if slightly quizzical way. Over the five Hitchhiker's radio series the Voice was played first by the acerbic Peter Jones and then by the avuncular William Franklyn. Both these much-loved voices are sadly gone, and so for this new live radio version of the show, guest 'Voices' will join the original radio cast on stage to re-create Douglas Adams's unique masterpiece. All are fans of the Hitchhiker's books and many have personal connections to Douglas either as friends or through his work.
Billy Boyd, best-known as 'Pippin' in Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings film trilogy, will kick off proceedings at the opening of the tour in Glasgow on 8 and 9 June, and also play Newcastle. John Challis, best known as 'Boycie' in Only Fools and Horses, will play Manchester, York and Southend; actor and impressionist Jon Culshaw will play Leicester and Manchester; Hugh Dennis, best-known for The Mary Whitehouse Experience and Outnumbered will play Brighton and Southampton; Comedian Phill Jupitus will play Birmingham, Basingstoke, Northampton, Cardiff and Aylesbury; Andrew Sachs, best known as 'Manuel' in Fawlty Towers, will play Bromley; poet Roger McGough will play Blackpool, Liverpool, Oxford and Brighton; actor and broadcaster Rory McGrath will play Northampton and Plymouth; ex-Python Terry Jones will play the Hackney Empire (the only London date on the tour); John Lloyd, producer of television shows such as Blackadder, Spitting Image, QI and co-author of The Meaning of Liff with Douglas Adams, will play Cambridge; renowned children's author Neil Gaiman will round off the tour in Edinburgh on 21 July. Tour dates below, and further names to be announced shortly.
THE HITCHHIKER'S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY became an instant and enduring classic on its launch as a radio series. Now Douglas Adams's immortal creation explodes back into life, re-born in a ground-breaking new stage production touring the UK this summer - a radio show like you never saw before - in surround sound, packed with laughter, robots, really wild sound effects and drinks with extremely silly names.
Members of the legendary Radio and TV casts are re-united for these live performances, led by Simon Jones as Arthur Dent, bringing to life the characters written for them in highlights from the entire Hitchhiker's Saga. Geoff McGivern stars as 'Ford Prefect', Susan Sheridan as 'Trillian', MarK Wing-Davey as 'Zaphod Beeblebrox' and the voice of Stephen Moore as 'Marvin the Paranoid Android' and live musical direction from Philip Pope.
Adapted, written and directed by Dirk Maggs, Douglas Adams's choice to conclude the narrative in its original medium, and based on the novels themselves, THE HITCHHIKER'S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY RADIO SHOW - LIVE! is an adventure which will introduce newcomers of all ages to Vogons, Babel Fish, Marvin the Paranoid Android and allow them to explore the unique and hilarious Whole General Mish Mash According To Douglas Adams.

Roundy's Launches New Nutrition Labeling Program for 2014
By Grocery Headquarters Staff
No added sugars. Low sodium. Whole grain. Heart healthy. When grocery shopping, many of us recognize these phrases, but how can consumers be certain that foods making various health claims really are good choices? Beginning Jan. 1, 2014, Roundy's introduces health key, a solution to simplify shopping for healthful groceries. The new program clearly labels foods with healthy attributes using shelf tags, allowing those with intolerances and health concerns to quickly and easily find what they need. Using the guiding principles of science, trust and ease, health key is designed to inform shoppers of foods with healthy attributes, company officials say. Each health key tag will accurately represent the product as a whole. To gain a health key tag, products must pass through filters specifically put in place to omit items with excessive fat, saturated fat, cholesterol, sugar and sodium. For example, if a product's packaging claims it's made with "Whole Grains," or any other nutrient, it will receive a health key tag only if it contains less than 13 grams of fat, 3 grams of saturated fat, 60 milligrams of cholesterol or 480 milligrams of sodium in each serving. "Customers encounter a sea of package claims every day when they shop," says Dana Schueller, senior marketing leader, Roundy's. "health key evaluates all products against the same rules, allowing customers to be confident that they're making consistent healthful choices throughout the store by following health key attributes." The colorful and easy-to-read, health key tags have been awarded to thousands of individual products and will be in all Roundy's grocery stores.

I am desperate to know what to do. Seven weeks ago, I had a bilateral upper blepharoplasty. The plastic surgeon cut not only my eyelids but right out onto my face by more than a centimetre, above the corner of my eye, extending diagonally towards my brow. This has left me with two ugly thick scar lines which make me look like a clown. The edges of the cut are not joined tightly, particularly on the right side of my face, and I have a thick open ridge which is so ugly. I feel like a freak. I don't know what to ask for or what can be done to improve this.
Thick Scar and Ridge After Blepharoplasty
Doctor Answers 19
Time will heal, but 5FU may help
The other surgeons all have great suggestions about being patient with the healing process, using silicone oil scar fading treatments, considering laser treatment, and down the line considering a scar revision if necessary.
There is another option to treat the red, thickened scar tissue (which at a microscopic level is very metabolically active fibroblast scar tissue). 5-flurouracil is a drug that can arrest the activity of scar tissue. It is technically a chemotherapy drug, but is now often used off-label for treating scar tissue. Kenalog or steroids are a much more common treatment for scar tissue due to their similar effect on scar tissue, but steroids carry risk of pigmentation changes and causing a depression.
You may need to ask around in your area for a surgeon that uses 5FU in this way, and you will probably need to sign a specific consent for this type of treatment. I've found it to be a effective minimally invasive non surgical treatment for scars such as yours.
Scars Generally Take 12-18 Months to Reach Maximum Improvement After Blepharoplasty; In 6 Months the Redness Should be Improved
Unfortunately, scarring is a part of any surgical procedure. Whenever possible, plastic surgeons place scars where they are well hidden by anatomic structures. When upper lid blepharoplasty is performed, every effort is made to hide the incisions. On the upper eyelids the incisions are hidden in the eyelid crease where they are extremely difficult to see. Unfortunately, in cases where there is lateral hooding and large amounts of excess skin, the incision needs to be extended beyond the crease. This is necessary to avoid a phenomenon known as a dog ear, where there is an abnormal pleat in the skin.
It appears that this maneuver was necessary in your case, to avoid gathering the skin at the corner of the eye. The scar is very red and noticeable at this point in time. Over the course of time, this should improve significantly. Scars generally take about 12 to 18 months to reach maximum improvement. In six months, the redness should be significantly improved.
In the meantime, the scars can be hidden with makeup. Occasionally, massage and steroid injections may be helpful. If scarring fails to improve with these steps, a scar revision or a skin re-surfacing procedure may be necessary.
It's important to maintain good communication with your plastic surgeon. It's still very early in the post-operative period and significant improvement will probably occur. Be patient, you may ultimately be very happy with your result.
Time will help this issue.
Dear Aisling
This incision is there so that the surgeon could remove more of your upper eyelid hood. Unfortunately unlike the reset of the upper eyelid scar, which is hidden in the eyelid fold, This part is out there for the world to see.
The most important thing to understand is that with several more months of healing this issue will be significantly less conspicuous. I often see patients shortly have upper eyelid surgery where for one reason or another, their blepharoplasty sutures separate. This results in a big ugly looking gap in the skin. They see me because their surgeon is unsure if the gap should repaired immediately or sometimes they search me out for an independent opinion. As ugly as these are initially, it is absolutely amazing how well they heal on their own. Very few people with this problem feel they need the incision revised.
I think that it is important to avoid the temptation to have something done at this stage of things. A well meaning surgeon can sometimes be persuaded to inject a spot like this with steroids to help speed up its resolution. This is often a mistake because the steroid can cause atrophy of the adjacent fat. TIme is the best treatment here. If the line is still an issue in 6 months, then a revision of the scar is a relatively minor procedure.

Thick scar and ridge after blepharoplasty?
If unsightly scars are still present after approximately a year's time, other things that your surgeon may consider are intralesional steroid injections, laser, or just surgical revision of the scar itself.
Hope that this helps! Best wishes!
Are scars present after upper blepharoplasty?
Thick Scar and Ridge After Blepharoplasty
Scars very from one person to the next and should be given some time to settle down.
After several months recheck the scar and if it is still thickened then it can be revised or injected with steroids or treated with LASER.

Cortisone shots may help
As far as the incision on the upper eyelids, the incision on the upper lid blepharoplasty must extend laterally and outward past the eyebrow, to totally encompass the lateral sagging of skin in that area. The incision only goes out as far as the excess skin is present. If the incision stops short, there will be an excess pleat or dog ear laterally out in the crow's-feet area. The incision is usually blended in the crow's-feet and is nearly inconspicuous after it is well-healed. In the first two months after the surgery, there is a small area of redness that can be detected but can be easily covered up with makeup. Cortisone shots can also be helpful at this period of time if the incision is red, lumpy-bumpy, and ropey looking. For many examples, please see our eyelid surgery photo gallery link below

IPL and lasers can improve scars, but surgical scar revision is sometimes needed
Dear Aisling,
Your incisions seem to be following a normal crows feet line. Perhaps he extended the incision in order to remove excess skin in this area. In any event, the scar is still early in healing.
The redness can be improved with an intense pulsed laser (IPL) treatment program.
In addition, in a few months, fractional CO2 or erbium laser treatments may also help to refine the scar. If the scar remains thick despite these treatment options, the scar may need to be revised.
Speak with your physician about these possibilities.

Scar maturation takes 6-12 months
It does take 6-12 months for the red color to fade from an incisional scar. Still based on location I believe that your incision may be slightly visible and may require camouflage make up. Some surgeons will extend the blepharoplasty incision over the orbital rim to obtain maximum tightening of redundant skin while other experienced surgeons avoid doing this for most patients unless there is a significant amount of lateral canthal hooding.

Obama gives in on speech timing, moves to Sept. 8
WASHINGTON (AP, ABC7) - President Barack Obama will change the day of his address to Congress to Sept. 8, the date suggested by House Speaker John Boehner, the White House announced Wednesday.
Obama had asked Congress to convene an extraordinary joint session next Wednesday to hear his proposals to put jobless Americans back to work but House Speaker John Boehner balked and told the president he ought to wait and speak a day later, CBS Correspondent Mark Knoller and the AP report.
Wednesday is also the day of a debate between the Republican presidential contenders, a scheduling conflict the White House said was pure coincidence. It appears Obama gave in to Boehner's request and will now speak a day later.
Usually, presidential requests to address Congress are routinely granted after discussions between the White House and lawmakers. But Boehner, in his formal reply, said that the House would not return until the day Obama wanted to speak and that logistical and parliamentary issues might be an obstacle. The House and the Senate each would have to adopt a resolution to allow a joint session for the president.
Boehner's letter did not mention the Republican debate on Wednesday or Thursday night's televised opening NFL game between the New Orleans Saints and the Green Bay Packers. But the political gamesmanship was clear.
Tweeted GOP presidential contender Newt Gingrich: "From one Speaker to another...nicely done John. "
Harry Reid, the Democratic Senate majority leader, had no objection to Obama's request. "Senator Reid welcomes President Obama to address Congress any day of the week," said Adam Jentleson, a spokesman.
Obama is expected to lay out proposals to increase hiring with a blend of tax incentives for business and government spending for public works projects. With July unemployment at 9.1 percent and the economy in a dangerously sluggish recovery, Obama's plan has consequences for millions of Americans and for his own political prospects. The president has made clear he will ask for extensions of a payroll tax cut for workers and jobless benefits for the unemployed. Those two elements would cost about $175 billion.
"It is our responsibility to find bipartisan solutions to help grow our economy, and if we are willing to put country before party, I am confident we can do just that," Obama wrote Wednesday in a letter to Boehner and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.
The high-profile address illustrates how, in a divided, highly partisan Washington atmosphere, Obama wants to portray himself as the pacesetter for the national agenda.
The White House request came on the same day Obama issued an appeal to Congress to renew legislation to fund highways and air travel that he said would protect a million jobs. The law at issue expires Sept. 30. A Senate proposal would last two years and cost $109 billion, while the House is considering a six-year bill that could cut spending from current levels.
White House officials say all details of the president's address have not been decided.
Joint sessions of Congress are typically reserved for presidential State of the Union addresses. But Obama also spoke to a joint session in September 2009 to press Congress to pass health care legislation. That speech, however, did not prompt quick action. A final bill did not pass Congress until March of 2010.

Ajman Police launch safety campaign
Ajman: Jaywalkers and reckless drivers are being targeted by Ajman Police in a safety campaign aimed at slashing needless deaths and injuries recorded at road crossings across the emirate every year.
The new campaign is being rolled out under the theme, "Pedestrian safety is our responsibility" and will run for three months.
Lieutenant Colonel Shoaib Kajor, director of Traffic and Patrol Directorate of Ajman Police, said the awareness campaign was part of the Strategic Plan of the Ministry of Interior which is working to boost safety.
In 2012, there were 751 offences and traffic accidents relating to unsafe road crossings and crossing from undesignated areas. Of those, there were 99 incidents in which pedestrians were struck by vehicles, seven deaths, 12 major accidents, 65 other incidents and 19 lesser reports of traffic problems.
The new campaign aims to stem the number of collisions with pedestrians caused by rogue motorbikes and vehicles.
Police said the campaign was designed to educate the public through information guides offering advice on crossing roads safely and safe driving tips. There will also be hefty fines for offenders who breach public street safety laws.
Tips will be introduced to the public on the internal and highway roads of Ajman city through brochures and booklets published in Arabic and English as well as Urdu.
To get the message across on an even broader scale, Ajman police are cooperating with Ajman Educational Zone and will be delivering lectures in Ajman's schools to introduce students to proper rules for pedestrians and motorists alike.
Prevention through education is key to reducing traffic-related fatalities down the road, he said.
Kajor said a fine of Dh200 can be levied against anyone who crosses a road at an area not designated for crossing, according to Article 147 of the Federal Traffic law.

My Darkest Days - Sick And Twisted Affair (Deluxe Edition)
We're sorry! This product is not available.
Featured Products
Description & Features+
Blending slick, dancefloor-ready production with melodic and heavy post-grunge, My Darkest Days return with their leaner and meaner sophomore album, "Sick and Twisted Affair". While the Days haven't found much in the way of new subject matter since their last album, they've made leaps in their execution. With fewer detours into out and out ballads, the album is able to maintain a heavier vibe overall, which ends up being a nice balance to the more dance-oriented elements of the production. Add to that a running time of 30 minutes and what you're left with is an album that's tighter, more focused, and more consistent than their 2010 self-titled debut. Though anyone who appreciated the band's softer side might find this one a bit on the muscular end, fans of the band's wilder side will be treated to an album that actually feels like My Darkest Days are finally living up to their dark and sleazy image. - by Gregory Heaney, Rovi

Alex James has said he doesn't know whether or not Blur will reform again in the future as they are all so busy with other projects.
Speaking to Hello magazine, the cheese-maker bassist said, "To tell you anything other than 'I don't know' would be completely misleading.
"Getting back with the guys has been emotional each time because fundamentally we all really get on and there were never any major problems between us.
"I love them all like brothers. But our lives have moved on. We're all busy. That's the great thing, we all found new things to do. So to do it as and when works for us."
James added that he thinks that Blur's lengthy hiatus was good for them, "We came to a natural hiatus; I didn't choose for it to happen, but spiritually it was important that it did and I certainly don't spend my days moping around wishing I could have that time back."

Detailed Description:
This is a one-year extension study of the use of laronidase into the spinal fluid to treat spinal cord compression in mucopolysaccharidosis I. Mucopolysaccharidosis I is a rare genetic condition due to deficiency of the enzyme alpha-l-iduronidase. Spinal cord compression occurs in this condition due to accumulation of material called glycosaminoglycans (GAG). Laronidase is the manufactured form of the enzyme alpha-l-iduronidase that is deficient in mucopolysaccharidosis I patients. The aim of this study is to determine whether laronidase is safe and effective when given into the spinal fluid as a potential non-surgical treatment for spinal cord compression due to mucopolysaccharidosis I disease.

Detailed Description:
Enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) has been developed for mucopolysaccharidosis I (MPS I), a lysosomal storage disorder. ERT helps many physical ailments due to the disease, but does not treat the central nervous system, due to inability to cross the blood brain barrier. Our purpose is to test delivery of ERT to the spinal fluid via intrathecal injection in patients with MPS I. In this pilot study, we will use recombinant human α-L-iduronidase administered intrathecally once per month for four months to individuals with the Hurler-Scheie and Scheie forms of MPS I and spinal cord compression. If successful, intrathecal delivery could represent a practical, straightforward method of treating central nervous system disease due to lysosomal storage.
