Most of the patients looking to find out more about dermal fillers are typically surprised to learn there are so many options. By consulting with a plastic surgeon, aesthetician, or dermatologist, these prospective patients can navigate their way through the long list of fillers to find the one best suited to their needs. The two most popular options, Juvederm and Restylane, are the biggest names in the industry for good reason. They are versatile, effective, and long-lasting. So how can you decide which of these two top choices is right for you?
All About Dermal Fillers
If you're new to the world of dermal fillers and nonsurgical, anti-aging treatments, don't worry. It's essential to get a good handle on what these products can do for you before you start deciding on the right brand. Dermal fillers have been used for decades as a solution to the signs of aging, including depleted volume, lines and wrinkles, and other problems. The available products have come a long way to address new concerns, deliver better results, and have a little more staying power. Dermal fillers have provided surgeons and patients with an alternative to the collagen treatments of yesterday, improving upon it in almost every way.
Today's dermal fillers are biocompatible substances made of hyaluronic acid, a natural complex sugar found within the human body and all mammals on earth. Because it is already present in the body, hyaluronic acid carries a very low rate of allergic reaction, especially if this sugar is not derived from an animal. Hyaluronic acid is an effective filler, but also offers many additional benefits to patients. As a natural part of the connective tissue in the skin, hyaluronic acid adds tightening and firming, while also attracting water to the skin to keep the cells hydrated. Overall, the addition of hyaluronic acid can help the skin cells stay healthy for longer, which means a boost to the look and feel of your skin as well as your signs of aging. Early research has also shown that these initial benefits will build with repeated injections of hyaluronic acid over time to leave the skin looking radiant and more youthful for much longer.
Why Choose Restylane?
As one of the very first FDA-approved dermal fillers on the market, Restylane has a long history of providing effective results to its patients. The Restylane formula is a very cohesive one, so much so that it tends to stay in place when injected. Your clinician will need to manipulate the filler to form a more natural shape afterwards to give you the results you want. Once in place, Restylane provides patients with buildable volume for the treatment area, which means that you can add little by little to achieve the right look. When it comes to adding volume to a specific area, Restylane works best on the lower eyelids and hollows beneath the eyes. It's a popular choice for patients who are frustrated with sunken or hollow looking eyes.
As for treating fine lines and wrinkles, Restylane's formulaoffers the best results in the shallower areas of the face. Patients typically see their results lasting six to nine months, although it is most often closer to the six-month mark when they feel the need for a touch-up appointment. Many plastic surgeons recommend Restylanefor patientswho are new to dermal fillers and want the chance to see what these products can achieve for them.
Restylane patients choose this product to do many things: smooth deep facial creases, improve fine lines of the face, correct facial scarring, plump up the lips, and provide volume and asymmetry to the chin. This brand is an excellent choice for men and women who are experiencing the early signs of aging and wish to do something about it. To be a good Restylane patient, you should be in good physical health and have a good idea of what results can be achieved with this product.
Why Choose Juvederm?
Although newer than Restylane, Juvedermhas grown quickly in popularity since gaining its FDA approval merely a decade ago. The unique, gel-like formula is smooth and pliable, providing a more natural look than the granular gels of other brand names. Most patients are impressed with the smooth contours and natural feel created by Juvederm fillers. In addition, Juvederm products have been known to last much longer than competitors, usually around a year with a touch-up between six and 10 months.
While there have since been additions to the Juvederm family with the newer Juvederm Ultra Plus and JuvedermVoluma XC, the original Juvederm formula continues to provide lasting, natural-looking results to patients. Juvederm is most effective against fine lines around the nose and mouth, such as the nasolabial folds and marionette lines. It can also be used to correct very deep acne scars, add volume to the cheeks, boost volume in the lips, and define the jawline with added volume. Juvederm treatments have a high rate in patient satisfaction year after year, whether they were looking to smooth lines around the mouth or plump tissues throughout the face.
Juvederm candidates should be frustrated with the lax facial tissue and depleted facial volume they see in the mirror. Juvederm injectable gel can be a great way to correct these issues for patients who are in good overall health and have a realistic idea about what their results will be.
Another Option: Why Choose Belotero?
The newest and arguably most effective facial filler available today is Belotero. First on the market in 2011, Belotero is made of hyaluronic acid which will provide structure and shape to the tissues, blending naturally with the skin's existing collagen. This unique ability makes it ideal for more sensitive areas.
Belotero can fill fine lines nicely without creating an unnatural, overly plump look. It is a go-to treatment for Crow's Feet around the eyes and Smoker's Lines around the lips. As a patient, you'll be thrilled to see your Belotero results immediately, leaving you with smoother contours, added volume, and a more youthful appearance all around.
Belotero and many other facial fillers can be administered alongside one another or with Botox Cosmetic. For best results, talk to your clinician about other skin care treatments that might optimize your results, such as microdermabrasion or a chemical peel.

I find it useful to know a bit more about the debate. Somehow, you must have noticed that the evolutionists viewpoints seem to be everywhere, in most of our schools, universities, documentaries and media. However there seems to be cracks in the theory of evolution and the creationists are fighting back for recognition as they believe that the evidence gathered by the evolutionists have not always been accurate for instance..you have heard of the 'missing link' ..but there is MORE!
Interested ? then why don't you visit Dr. Grady Shannon McMurtry's website : http://www.creationworldview.org
Blessings. Yours in Jesus-Christ.

Some residents want site used for park, shops, offices
The Water Street Deck is incompatible with the historic core and should be redeveloped to a higher and better use, according to Wilmington's Vision 2020, a roadmap for downtown's future.
But what is a "higher and better use" for the deck that sits in prime downtown property near the river?
A park, apartments, shops?
The Wilmington City Council now faces this question after purchasing the half of the deck the city didn't already own. The council voted 7-0 in July to issue debt for $3.3 million to purchase and repair the deck.
But exactly how the money will be spent is still being decided. City council member Laura Padgett wants to hash it out with council at an upcoming council meeting. Moving forward with the loan doesn't necessarily mean the city will upfit the deck.
"The question is whether that's the direction we're going or some other direction," Councilman Charlie Rivenbark said at a recent council meeting.
Participants in a StarNews survey about what should be done with the deck and commentaries on the Cape Fear Watchdogs blog had various ideas for the dilapidated structure that's been a blight at the city's waterfront for years.
Rick Crowe of Wilmington suggested making part of the property a public park overlooking the river on the second level and keeping the bottom for parking.
Jeff Tyndall of Wilmington said it should be redeveloped by the city into a mix of retail, housing and offices.
"As an urban planner I see this as a prime time to purchase this property," Tyndall said in an email. "The city should also develop a plan of exactly what they want to see there, not necessarily use but scale. In order to sell off the pieces and get what the city desires and not leave the future of downtown up to the whims of a developer."
Since 2007, the city co-owned the deck with PB&G Partners and the two have tried to work out a plan where the company develops the property and the city gets a public park. The original plan was for PB&G to demolish the deck and transform it into condos and shops. The contract between the city and PB&G gave the company three years to start development, and ended in 2010. The city had an option to buy back PB&G's half at $3 million or market value, whichever was less.
Some who commented on the blog said the parking is not needed and suggested tearing the deck down and redeveloping the land with shops or offices.
Whatever the city decides to do, it will mean more money into a deck that has been in and out of city hands, costing millions of dollars for years.
The city owned up until the late 1990s. The city paid $2.6 million for it in 2007 to secure land for a city park after it sold the property in 1997 to PB&G co-owner Gene Merritt for $1.5 million.

text: The Indiana Court of Appeals reversed and remanded for further proceedings a trial court's grant of partial summary judgment and held that because the plaintiff did not show that it controlled the electronic mortgage note ("Note") for purposes of 15 U.S.C. § 7021(b) as of the date the foreclosure was filed, it had not established that it was the party entitled to enforce the Note as of that date. The plaintiff was not the original lender, and instead, received the mortgage by assignment. The plaintiff filed a complaint to foreclose the mortgage shortly after taking assignment. The Note stated that the only authoritative copy was the copy within the Note Holder's control. 15 U.S.C. § 7021 provides conditions under which a party can have control and the court found that the evidence put forward by the plaintiff in support of the motion for summary judgment did not properly address satisfaction of those conditions. Specifically, the court stated that the plaintiff did not present evidence demonstrating that control over the Note had been transferred to the plaintiff in accordance with the requirements of 15 U.S.C. 7021. The court specifically noted in the decision that the plaintiff, upon demonstrating it had received a transfer of control, would be entitled to the same rights as the holder of a written promissory note under UCC Article 3, and that delivery, endorsement and possession of a physical note were not required.

The study evaluated the factors that influence adolescents to engaging in sexual activity and level of involvement in sexual activity among adolescents in Ibadan. Using both qualitative and quantitative methods of research the participants were thirty-seven. Seven of them (4 males and 3 females) constituted the focus group discussion while the other thirty filled the questionnaire. The questionnaire was developed mostly from the outcome of the qualitative study. Factors like youth culture, electronic and print media and peer pressure. Testing for the first hypothesis using t-test for independent measures, being a male (mean=17.50) came out significant at .001 (less than 1% error variance) level of significance. In the second hypothesis, age (mean= .343) seem to be an influencing factor significant at the significance level of .05 (less than 5% error variance). Parents should not make sex a big deal and they should talk about sex talks with their adolescents, explaining the risk involved. Parenting program and sex educational be organized to train parents and adolescents respectively how to cope with adolescent stage.
Knowing why adolescents are involved in sex is critical to understanding their sexual behavior. For example, having sex for enhancement (pleasure) motives has been linked to sexual behaviors that increase the risk of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) or pregnancy or both. Having sex for intimacy reasons, however, also has been associated with more frequent sex (Dawson, LH; Shih, MC; de moor, C; Shrier, L, 2008).
Many people imagine an adolescent as being a gangly, awkward, and troublesome individual. Researchers shared this view until quite recently. This period of life (generally considered to run from age ten to age twenty-five) was seen as a time of "storm and stress." But what is adolescent development really like? Clearly it is a time of great change on many levels. Probably most dramatic are the biological changes associated with puberty. These changes include dramatic shifts in the shape of the body, increases in hormones, and changes in brain architecture. These biological shifts are directly linked to changes in sexual interest, cognitive capacities, and physical capacities. There are also major social changes associated with the school-linked transitions and with changes in the roles adolescents are expected to play by all those around them.
In humans, mature sexual desire usually begins to appear with the onset of puberty. Sexual expressions can take the form of masturbation or sex with a partner. Sexual interests among adolescents, adults, can vary greatly. Sexual activity in general is associated with a number of risks, including sexually transmitted diseases (including HIV/AIDS) and unwanted pregnancy. This is considered particularly true for young adolescents, as adolescents' brains are not neurally mature (several brain regions in the frontal lobe of the cerebral cortex and in the hypothalamus important for self control, delayed gratification, and risk analysis and appreciation are not fully mature until ages 25-30). Partially because of this, most adolescents are deemed less emotionally mature and are not financially self-sufficient.
Since the onset of sexuality is at puberty which is apparent at the adolescent stage then it is obvious they will feel sexual urges. In Nigeria sex is believed to be for married people that are adults. Adolescents know this too but they have their sexuality triggered by some factors available in the society, it could be accidental or intentional. For example TV watching, an adolescent could stomp on a movie and not know a sex scene is in it, at the same time an adolescent will buy and watch a porno film.
The purpose of carrying out this study is;
· To know the prevalence of sexual involvement of Nigerian adolescents.
· To know the factors that influences them to involving themselves in sexual activities.
· To tests for variables they claim to influence them to involvement in sexual activities.
· To know the perspective(s) to address the situation.
The objective of this study is to address some of the limitations of previous research by identifying the Nigerian adolescent's reason for involvement in sexual activity and prevalence since most of adolescent sexuality researches are done abroad which may not be totally true of Nigerian adolescents.
To know the level of involvement of Nigerian adolescents in sexual activities.
To bring to the notice of adolescents and parents on what could possibly trigger the sexuality of the adolescents and how to help them cope.
To make qualitative recommendation and intervention program to reduce teenage sexuality and risks involved in it.
· Used very few participants
· The research suffered short time frame
· The researcher focused on Ibadan alone when adolescents can be found in other parts of Nigeria for broader outcome
Many studies have been carried out on reasons why adolescents involve themselves in sex. Previous studies' participants ranged from high school students (Stone & Ingham, 2002), to adolescents presenting to a medical clinic for STI treatment (Dawson et al., 2008), to college undergraduates who currently were dating someone (Dawson et al., 2008). Reasons for having sex were assessed by asking how important each listed reason was in the respondents' sexual relations (Dawson et al., 2008), how often they personally had sex for each of a list of reasons (Dawson et al., 2008).
The studies have indicated that at least four factors may contribute to differences in why adolescents have sex. They are age, gender, relationship status in quest for intimacy and motivational level of risk behavior that individuals are motivated to engage in the behavior to enhance positive affect or reduce negative affect (Dawson et al., 2008). These gender differences, however, have not been consistently observed (Dawson et al., 2008). Age has been associated with different reasons for having sex. Consistent with the need to establish intimate relationships as part of healthy adolescent development (Dawson et al., 2008) Similarly, a longitudinal study of female adolescent clinic patients found that girls who were 17 or older at first coitus were more likely than younger girls to report being in love and feeling romantic as reasons for sex (Dawson et al., 2008).
In another research titled 'watching sex on television predicts adolescent initiation of sexual behavior' (Collins, Elliot, Berry, Kanouse, Kunkel, Hunter & Miu, 2004). A national longitudinal survey of 1792 adolescents was carried out within 12-17 years of age. Participants reported their TV viewing habits and sexual experience and responded to measures of more than a dozen factors known to be associated with adolescent sexual initiation. Analysis indicated that adolescents who viewed more sexual content at baseline were more likely to initiate intercourse and progress to more advanced non-coital sexual activities during the subsequent year, controlling for respondent characteristics that might otherwise explain these relationships. Watching sex on TV predicts and may hasten adolescent sexual initiation. Collins et el came up with the recommendation that reducing the amount of sexual content in entertainment programming, reducing adolescent exposure to this content, or increasing references to and depictions of possible negative consequences of sexual activity could appreciably delay the initiation of coital and non-coital activities. Alternatively, parents may be able to reduce the effects of sexual content by watching TV with their adolescents and discussing their own beliefs about sex.
To better appreciate the topic 'factors influencing sexual involvement and sexual involvement among adolescents', theories will be used to explain and elaborate.
So many theories in developmental psychology explain the developmental stage of an adolescent. According to Erik Erikson (1968) in his socio-psychological development he stated that "adolescence is the stage from 10- 20 years of age". It is the stage when the individual is in search of identity, if the search is not achieved then there is identity confusion. The individual is faced with the finding out who they are, what they are about and where they are going in life adolescents are confronted with many new roles and adult statuses such as vocational and romantic. It is a stage of stress and storm. This is the stage individuals find it difficult to trust people especially adults and most especially their parents, they never seem to do anything right in the sight of their parents which piss them off. The adolescents acknowledged that they can be very stubborn because they feel they are right about some things they do and know what they are doing. There is physiological, cognitive and biological growth. It is the stage of puberty when so many sexual characteristics begin to grow. For the girls there is onset of menstruation, breast enlargement, hips and body curves growth. As for the boys there is strength in the voice, the penis enlarges, broader chests amongst others. Most of the behaviors adolescents portray are as a result of their thought processes.
Jean Piaget's theory of cognitive development places adolescents in the fourth stage which is the formal operational stage. At this stage according to Piaget it is a stage of abstract, idealistic and logical reasoning. It is the stage of hypothetical reasoning which is the adolescent's ability to develop hypotheses, or best hunches, about ways to solve problems. They then systematically deduce, or conclude which is the best path to follow to solve the problem. Adolescents at this stage are of the believe that they are smart and are capable of take decisions on their own which includes decision about keeping relationship with the opposite sex, their sexuality and relations with the larger society. Adolescent sexuality is a concern to researchers that is why Crooks and Bauer took time to explain the phenomenon.
The adolescent sexuality theory according to Crooks, Bauer (1999) states that, "cognitive world plays an important role in our sexuality". Thoughts and images are extensively involved in adolescents and adult sexual lives. Adolescents might be attracted to someone but understands that it is important to inhibit sexual urge until adulthood, what they think of it, what they have seen of sex and what they have heard of sex will either make them inhibit or go for sex. Cognitive interpretation of sex also involves whom they want to have sex with or whom they are having sex with. Tracing back to the psychosexual stages of Sigmund Freud, he stated that 'every individual from childhood have sexual feelings'. The society expects such sexuality be expressed at the adulthood stage.
Adolescents, for this study they are the teenage age from 13 - 19 years of age.
Sexual involvement is the practice of
· Teenage relationship; adolescents' involvement in love relationship with the opposite sex
· Masturbation; adolescents' self relief of sexual urge.
· Romance; inclusion of kissing and smooching
· Coitus sex; sexual relations with the opposite sex.
· Non-coitus sex; specifically oral sex with same or opposite sex.
Factors influencing sexual involvement;
· Print media (romance novels, sex magazines).
· Electronic media (sex inclined television program, internet).
· Youth culture; music (songs with sexual lyrics), dancing (in parties).
· Peer group.
The research was carried out using snowballing sampling technique and simple randomization sampling technique thereby given all the adolescents equal right to participate. Both qualitative and quantitative methods of data collection were used. The researcher carried out a focus group discussion as the qualitative method before constructing the questionnaire which was the quantitative method. The snowballing technique was used for the qualitative study while the simple randomization was used for the quantitative study respectively.
The participants
The participants were secondary school adolescents from both private and public schools in Ibadan. Their ages ranges from 13 – 19 years, 37 participants were used. Four males and three females made up the focus group discussant while the remaining 30 filled the questionnaire. Out of the 30 respondents that filled the questionnaire 20 of them are females while 10 of them are males.
The focus group setting was carried out among seven adolescents from different schools living in Ibadan. The group comprises of four males and three females. It was carried out in a home setting to make the adolescents more relaxed. As for the quantitative study the questionnaires were taken to the school setting in their various schools.
The qualitative study was carried out before the quantitative study. At the focus group level the participants were asked to introduce themselves not necessarily telling their real name but their actual age was told to the researcher. Each of them was asked questions from the discussion guide. The discussion guide comprises initially of seven questions, as the discussion went on two questions were added to the initial questions.
The following hypothesis will be tested
· 'Being a male will influence adolescent's involvement in sexual activity than being a female'
(T-test for independent measures)
· 'Age will have a positive relationship with adolescent's involvement in sexual activity than factors like youth culture, electronic media, print media and peer pressure.
(Regression analysis)
Hypothesis one
Table 1: Independent group t-test table distribution of influence of gender on adolescent's sexual involvement
Sexual involvement
With a total number of 30 participants the mean distribution of males against females is 6.30. The t- score of 3.761 is significant at the level less than .001 error variance that is, the probability of an error occurring is less than 1%. From the table since the males have the higher mean score (17.50) implies that being male is a factor that influence adolescents involvement in sexual activity. Being a female (mean=11.20) has no influence on adolescent sexual involvement.
Hypothesis two
Table 2: Regression analysis of relationship between youth culture, electronic media, print media, peer pressure, gender and age on adolescent involvement in sexual activity
Youth culture
Electronic media
Print media
Peer pressure
Table 2 shows the regression coefficient (R square =.598) and an F- ratio (5.703) significant at less than 1% error variance. The factors youth culture (.234), electronic media (.172), print media (.273) and peer pressure (.538) was significant at the level greater than .05 error variance that is, the probability of error variance is greater than 5% which is not acceptable in psychology. Age (.375) and gender (.343) seems to be significant at level less than .05 that is, probability of error is less than 5%. Significance at this level is acceptable. This implies that age and gender influences adolescents involvement in sexual activity.
The exposure level of the Nigerian adolescents to sex is surprising and alarming. At the group discussion level the participants were asked to give a percentage rating of prevalence of sex among adolescents, the percentage they gave was outrageous but trying to hold a point that really adolescents are very much sexually active. They gave percentage average of 72% meaning 72 adolescents out of a 100 are sexually active.
According to the adolescents the reasons why they involve themselves in sexual activities are;
· To please their boyfriends
· To go against parent's will
· Because they see others doing it
· Because they see their parents do it and it raises their curiosity
· For the fun of it
· Through television viewing of sex inclined films and programs
· Peer pressure
· Hormonal problem
· Separated parents
The participants listed the various type of sex adolescents engage in, they mentioned
· Oral sex
· Anal sex
· Masturbation
· Homosexuality and lesbianism
· Romance, kissing
· Sex with the opposite gender
Some of the factors listed out by the focus group participants made up the larger part of the items in the questionnaire.
The first hypothesis proves that being a male as a direct influence of sexual involvement among adolescents. According to other studies carried out male gender is seen to be more vulnerable to social facilitation. They are believed to have higher sexual libido than females (Ge, Conger, and Elder, 2001; Strauch, B. 2003). Males at the adolescent stage begins to have sense of dependence higher than that of a female, they feel they are grown and want to do things the way they feel is best even if goes against some social rules. Male adolescents finds it easy to branch at a porno shop to buy a porno film, he can decide to read whatever he wants anytime. These and so many male characteristics factor that are not listed here must have implication involvement in sexual activity. Males engage in keeping girl-friends, masturbating, asking for romance and sex from their girl- friends. Thus, most of Nigerian adolescents show aversion for homosexuality and anal sex but some do engage to in oral sex.
The second hypothesis analysis shows that age as an influence on adolescent sexuality. The age category is between 15- 19 years. Adolescents within this category are close to early adulthood, their cognition is becoming more hypothetic, adolescents are beginning to find answers to their identity confusion questions. For both male and female age is significant. At a point in time they begin to be more free and vocal with friends, new and strange feelings become more noticable, curiosity increases. Some adolescents at this stage learn to handle their emotions while other are exploratory.
There are so many sex-related topics adolescents want to talk about but they don't know if they can trust their parents not to scold them or have their adult friends keep it a secret, parents should not make a big deal about sex. They should be able to talk about it from an early age of seven. One of the focus group discussant said her mother talked to her about it when she was ten and the point she felt 'why are you telling me, am not having sex'.
More attention should be given to boys at teenage age because they are more vulnerable to indiscriminate sex. Middle adolescent stage should be monitored carefully for both male and female adolescents.
Parents should not criticize their children when watching films that could co-incidentally have sex scenes rather they watch it with the adolescent and explain further what is not clear through it they should be educated on when to have sex.
There are so many cues out there encouraging our adolescents to want and eventually have sex. These cues are musical lyrics, romance novel, sex magazines amongst others. Knowledge of these cues are majorly influenced by peers. They introduce themselves to this factors causing adolescent involvement in sexual activity. Parents cannot follow their adolescents to school but they can keep a very close and intimate relationship with their adolescents so that whenever such things are seen or told about by their friends they find it easy to come home and tell. By this, influence risk will be minimized and proper education and caution will be given to the teenager.
Parenting skills and style of training adolescent should be learnt because how they were handled will have to change in order to get the best out of them.
More sex education and unprotected sex risks should be discussed with the adolescents by psychologists, doctors and the school teacher. The doctors are important so as to explain vividly the physiological implication of the diseases.
It may not be surprising to know that Nigerian adolescents are this exposed to so much of sexuality, but necessary education and clear analysis of what sex is, who, how and when it should be performed. The Yoruba belief is that sex is for only the married and that staying a virgin till the wedding night is respectable, valuable and modellabe to other members of the society.
The qualitative questions asked are;
Who is an Adolescent?
Do adolescents engage in sex activity?
What is sex?
Mention the types of sex you know?
With whom do the adolescents have sex?
Why do they have sex?
How often do they engage in sexual activity?
What are the factors that influence adolescents to having sex and narrate and incidence you know of?

Written and Drawn by Various
Published by About Comics
Mark Evanier, William Messner-Loebs, Dan Spiegle, and Nat Gertler are joined by singer Heywood Banks and a host of young talents in this short comics anthology that is notable for a couple of reasons. Reason one is that Evanier and Spiegle deliver the first new CROSSFIRE in over a decade, which is cause for an old-time comics fan to rejoice. But if that wasn't enough, Messner-Loebs delivers his first new JOURNEY story in over fifteen years. So with very little fanfare, you get the return of two classics to the page.
And nicely, both of those stories do indeed satisfy the reader. Gertler also provides four new LICENSABLE BEAR bits, and three of those also work quite nicely as well. Throw in the cute adaptation of the Banks song, and this is a decent enough effort overall. The four dollar price tag doesn't feel like a burn.
However, the piece by newcomer Dan Schneider, "General Chatters," is out of place. There's one amusing concept in it, but artistically, Schneider doesn't have a grasp on blacks and shading, leaving the art without dimension and texture. It is also hand-lettered and looks poor in comparison to the rest of the book.
Gertler and About don't publish very frequently, but when they do, it is usually worth a look, even if just for a sliver of what's being offered. MANY HAPPY RETURNS is no different.

Serbian Dismayed over Independent Kosovo
Kosovo declares itself an independent state, and Serbian Unity Congress President Mirjana Samardzija isn't thrilled. She says Kosovo is integral of the part of the Serbian nation, and has been forever.
ALISON STEWART, host:
I wonder if Martha would start saying bam.
(Soundbite of laughter)
STEWART: Or is it boom. More of that, boom. All right, yesterday we talked a lot about Kosovo declaring its independence from Serbia on Sunday. And while Kosovars celebrated in the street, making that declaration, while symbolic, is just the first step in what could be a long and difficult process.
RACHEL MARTIN, host:
UN member states are picking sides in this battle. The U.S., Britain, France, Italy, and Germany have all recognized the new state of Kosovo. Other states including Russia and Spain have not. Serbia withdrew its ambassador from Washington in protest the U.S. support of Kosovo saying the declaration of independence violates international law. And the situation on the ground in Kosovo is tense. Yesterday, ethnic Serbs attacked two border crossings between Kosovo and Serbia and NATO peacekeepers from France and the U.S. have put up razor wire to seal off that border.
Now, as Alison mentioned, yesterday we spoke about this issue and we talk with Zana Blaku, a Kosovar living in New York who supports independence. Today we'll hear from the other side. On the line is Mirjana Samardzija. She's the president of Serbian Unity Congress in Washington, D.C., and she joins me now. Hi, Mirjana.
Ms. MIRJANA SAMARDZIJA (President, Serbian Unity Congress): Hi. How are you?
MARTIN: Doing well. Thanks for being with us this morning.
Ms. SAMARDZIJA: You're welcome.
MARTIN: Kosovo's declaration was not necessarily a surprise. This was expected to a certain degree. But when you heard that it was official, what was your first reaction?
Ms. SAMARDZIJA: Well, it wasn't a surprise but, you know, it was still not something that the Serbian community welcomed with glee.
MARTIN: Why?
Ms. SAMARDZIJA: Well, because Kosovo, for one, is a part, an integral part, of Serbia and the Serbian nation, and it has been forever. And this was an imposed, and not a negotiated, solution to the problem of Kosovo, where a portion of its population wants independence, all or nothing. And the other portion, which does not, because it feels that Kosovo is its heartland, its religious heartland, has absolutely no say in it. So it is an imposed solution, not a negotiated solution, and that is never the appropriate to way to handle an issue like this.
MARTIN: Now, there are two million ethnic Albanians in Kosovo and a Serb minority population of about 120,000. The Albanians say that they have a right to form their own state because they were systemically driven out by Slobodan Milosevic in the 1990s and were subjected to mass ethnic cleansing by Belgrade, specifically in 1999. So they say they're entitled to this land and to their own independent nationhood. What's your response to that?
Ms. SAMARDZIJA: Well, I think that that is a very weak argument because Milosevic is long gone. The current government in Serbia is the most democratic government of all the former republics of Yugoslavia. The fact that they are today 90 percent is a function of how they became 90 percent. Much of the current population of Kosovo is an illegally - is a population that was - that gained the numbers through illegal immigration from Albania over the years.
The fact that today there are as few non-Albanians in Kosovo, the majority of whom are Serbs, is also a function of the fact that after '99 the Albanian majority of Kosovo drove out more than half of the Serbian population out of Kosovo through the burning of their villages and homes and churches and hospitals, through murder, disappearances and harassment.
So the point is that when you have a part of the population whose behavior is one that has consisted of these types of acts without - and that behavior has taken place with impunity because the leadership of the Kosovo Albanian majority is one that has condoned it. When that same entity is one that harbors criminals, that harbors the center in Europe for organized crime and the illicit, illegal trafficking in drugs and arms and arms and sex slaves...
MARTIN: We should also say that those in Kosovo would make similar allegations against groups in Serbia. It's a very divisive, very complicated issue. We have seen some violence already as a result of Kosovo's declaration. Ethnic Serbs burned down two border crossings yesterday, set fire to control posts. And Serbia's minister for Kosovo said the attacks were perhaps not pretty, but legitimate. That's according to reports. Is it likely that the violence may escalate there?
Ms. SAMARDZIJA: I can't speak for the Koso - I mean for the Serbs and other parties' behavior going forward. I don't know.
MARTIN: What do you propose as a solution? If Kosovo's independence is not the way to handle this, what do you think is the best way to handle it?
Ms. SAMARDZIJA: Well, their resolution 1244...
MARTIN: That's the U.N. resolution.
Ms. SAMARDZIJA: I'm sorry?
MARTIN: That's the United Nations resolution.
Ms. SAMARDZIJA: That's the United Nations resolution, established at the time that the sovereign borders of Serbia were to be respected until that was changed by the United Nations. The U.S. was a signatory to that resolution. In recognizing the declaration of independence by the Albanians, the United States violated something that it had signed to begin with.
The solution is not to impose a settlement, but to allow for negotiations. The U.S. absolutely did not - they undermined these negotiations by announcing, while the negotiations were in process, that regardless of the outcome they would recognize the independence of Kosovo. That is not an honest broker's approach.
So what is the solution? I think the solution is for negotiations to continue. I think certain standards of human rights, respect for human rights, return of refugees, return of the properties that were burned and stolen, has to take place before a nation can earn something like independence.
MARTIN: And this is definitely a long way away. The declaration is the first step, as we see, in this long process. Mirjana Samardzija, president of the Serbian Unity Congress in Washington D.C., thank you very much for helping walk us through this.
Ms. SAMARDZIJA: You're welcome.
MARTIN: Take care.
Ms. SAMARDZIJA: Bye.

I have a CD with my backup on it, actually I have 160 CD's with data on them.
The directories and files are all listed, they have a file size and everything looks great, until I try to copy a file from the cd, then I get an i/o error.
The CD was created on a MDK9.2 Linux system, he data was cop-ied from a samba share on a mdk 9.2 server.
I've tried reading the CD's in several drives, the original CDRW burner, a client station DVD/CD drive at the workplace, my DVD/RW, my CDRW and My laptop CD Drive.
I tried reading the CD under MDK Linux 9.2 and 10 and Windows 98 and Windows XP.
I have extracted the image using dd (dd if=/dev/cdrom of=damncd.hell)
I can mount the image with loop, but I still can't copy files out of it.
I was able to copy files out of one of the directories, but not the others. It really seems like a permission thing, but I've tried as root to no avail.
I've even used: cat damnedcd.hell > pleasework.img
chmod -Rf 0777 pleasework.img
nothing... actually same as before.
I can open the image file in a text editor, but the file formats are lotus123, so they are not recognizable to my untrained human eye.
Please help me.......

Was doing a night ride a Carter with some buddies. I was out front because I'm fat and slow and that way they can't leave me behind. Anyway, we get to Horseshoe and I had just switched my handlebar light on (Niterider Tri-newt, it is awesome!) as I had been playing with a little commuter light to see how bright it was. Anyway, we are going into Horseshoe on the ridge and there is a turn with a good size palm tree, I hook the corner and there is a 6-7ft 'gator laying with it's head on the trail! We were cruising pretty good (there is a small downhill right there) all I had time to do was holler ALLIGATOR! and grab some brake knowing I couldn't stop. At about 18 inches the gator decided to get the heck out of dodge and went the other way. Major addrenaline rush! Not as close as my nose wheely over one, but this guy was alot bigger!
lol, thats awsome. I just about ran over one on cruddy buddy a few months ago. just be glad you didn't run into BIG MAMMA!!! think shes sittin about 12-14 feet long now.
Night riding is the shiznit, don't you know?

yoyoyoyoyoyowrote a review of Lib Technologies TRS BTX Snowboard on January 8, 2009
TRS BTX vs. Skunk Ape MTX
I am 6'2" and 185.
Just got back from Utah where I road these back to back. Both were awesome.
These were demos so I had some off sizes - 167 for the ape and 157 for the trs.
I rode the ape fast - really fast. It carved like a dream. You could not skid this board out. It was a bit tough to initiate a turn vs. the trs.
I rode the trs fast and in power. This was my dream board. So easy to turn - effortless. Just think it and you were turning. I should have had the 162 because I washed out on some steeper stuff vs. carving and I think the extra length could have helped me hold an edge better.
Both were super stable at speed. As a person who rides all over the mountain, I would take the trs btx over the skunk ape. BUT, would try the new skunk ape with the banana tech first.

As the world's most admired company, Apple has continued to sit in the spotlight through success, challenge and change. Over the past few years, we have watched carefully to see how the company would manage through one of the highest profile CEO succession transitions in history.
We were curious if Tim Cook and the leadership team could maintain flawless continuity with new product innovation. We pondered the implications of new leadership and how the culture might change. And we wondered how Apple's evolution might impact not only the brand promise and organizational purpose but our own lives.
Leadership. Innovation. Culture. Purpose. Where does it all begin?
It just might be with the board.
A recent Fast Company article questioned the evolution of Apple's board, specifically relating to diversity. This was a thought-provoking piece, not only because the issue of women on boards and diversity is an important topic, but also because it pushes us to think more deeply about the role and importance of boards.
For many, Apple has been a great source of inspiration. What is most fascinating is that Apple must now learn from itself. If the board of the most admired company in the world needs pressure from major shareholders to evolve and advance, we know that the idea of board effectiveness is real and increasingly important.
Here are five questions for boards to think about, discuss, and take meaningful action on.
- What unique value do we bring to the organization, beyond a basic governance obligation?
- Does our board help guide and exemplify the company's culture, values and brand in everything we do?
- How are we creating a healthy board dynamic and open environment that encourages constructive debate and new thinking?
- Do we take time to reflect on and talk about our role, effectiveness and impact as a board based on where the company is in its life cycle?
- How deliberate are we about challenging outdated behaviours and practices and investing in board development?
If boards are going to continue to evolve in a way that adds meaningful value to organizations, it might just be time to think different.

4 Big Benefits of a Sugar Detox
Twice each year, I forgo all sugar for at least 4-5 weeks. I do this to give my body a much needed break and to establish more of a healthy balance internally. The changes I notice when doing this are quite remarkable. After just a week, I start to feel brighter, lighter and happier. We are not meant to ingest much sugar at all, aside from those natural sugars found in whole foods. However, as evolution guides us…we are all born with an innate sweet tooth. Going sugar free is hard – I'm not gonna lie. But, it's only hard for a very short while. As soon as the initial detox occurs, it's actually quite easy. And, the benefits are completely addicting! Learn about 4 of these main benefits here, courtesy of Mind Body Green.
Want to start a sugar detox of your own? Here's a great place to start – read this

You can now watch a bit more of the shoot for the Blackbook magazine on vimeo Conrad posted a while ago on his snapchat for "Who you Lovin". Absolutely amazing HQ scenes!
Below you can listen to the interpretation of "Taste The Feeling" by Avicii. Which version to you like better? Conrad or his?
Another day – another chance to win a meet&greet with Conrad. All you have to do is to go on Twitter and Retweet the following tweet: (Good luck again!)
"RT to enter & win 2 tix from @CokeMusic for my show at @CultureRoom FLL tonight – I'll be hosting a meet & greet with winners after my set x"
If you were not attending the show in The Social Club, Florida, here´s a video of "Start Again" filmed by a Fan.
Credits: Josh Comins
Sorry for the lack of update yesterday, I didn´t have the chance to get online.
In between there was an article of people.com with 5 facts of Conrad you may or may did not know yet. Furthermore there´s an article including an interview with of of entertainment weekly in which he talks what he wanted "Firestone" originally to sound, that he feels that he has to impress people and wants Fans to get addicted to his voice along with other interesting things.
The Phillimixtape wrote a fun article about Conrads music with 5 reasons why to make babies to his music. ;) Beside the fun facts they write about his EP, his Work with Kygo, Jess Glynn and Avicii. Also INTV had Conrad in for an interview about his latest tour with Jess Glynne, that it´s not that easy to connect with Fans in an Arena as it is in smaller rooms, how he watched his first concert of Michael Jackson from a tree and that he had to back off Whiskey because it damaged his voice too much.
Further here´s a video of MTV which mentions the list of people Conrad worked with for his upcoming album. It looks like also 5 seconds of summer is included!
Once again GettyImages stocked up the photos of Conrad. You can see some of his Gig with Kygo, some on stage of his Coca Cola Campaign performance as well as backstage photos.
Beside that he talks in this video about Justin Biebers new song and his opinion on him:
If you´re interested in some background information how "Taste The Feeling" was created and developed, you should watch this video, where Conrad and Avicii are interviewed:
Beside the article Billboard wrote about the Coca Cola Campaign yesterday, they also had Conrad in for an interview, in which he talks about his friendship with Kygo, where´s the difference to Jess Glynne on stage and that his album hopefully will be released in june!
Further here´s a short video, in which he talks about what Ed Sheeran told him after their common Shows last April.
The dailytelegrapgh also wrote an article about the Coca Cola campaign. You can also read what Conrad thinks about it himself, beside some HQ Promo shots. The had of the Coke campaign told about his song: "As we searched for the perfect song this one stood out from day one as something really special" I think absolutely exciting times are awaiting us!
Last but not least the live performance of Conrads premiere "Taste that feeling" in Paris:
You can tell that Conrad recently definitely was on a secret project in Paris. He now announced that he´s the new voice of the global Coca Cola anthem! This is truly amazing and a huge step for that Coca Cola is most likely also tied with events like Rio 2016 Olympics and EUFA Euro 2016!
Billboard.com mentioned in their article that Avicii will produce addictional versions of the song for the events.
Coca Cola itself uploaded the whole mastered song to their YouTube channel, so grab yourself a coke and enjoy. ;)
We finally sorted the bug in our side bar. As a little sorry for the inconvenience, we generated a ringtone of "Shadow" for you. (All ringtones on this site are generated by us and so absolutely free and secure).
In summer Conrad performed while is his radio promotion "Remind Me" in a wonderful acoustic version for the German show "Das Ding". The performance is now on YouTube.
Conrad let know about his Twitter that he´s doing a Q&A on Twitter again. You can still send your questions! "Twitter Q&A TOMORROW (Saturday) at 2pm PST /5p EST – talk to you all then. Get questions ready with #AskConrad xx"
Currently he is on his way to Paris. No details are mentioned, so let´s wait and see on which "secret mission" he is this time. ;)
Furthermore here´s the full video of Conrad´s & Kygos performance of "Firestone" in San Francisco. First he sang the whole song with an orchestra before the tropical house version with Kygo started.
Listen to "Running Out Of You", Conrad´s newest cooperation with Felix Snow. Atlantic Records uploaded the song. Sadly it´s not working for every country. If you can listen to it, what´s your thought about it? You can let us know in the chatbox.
Edit: The video of the link isn´t working no more but you can listen to it here:

About TurboVNC
Developer Info

Using TurboVNC with the UltraVNC Server
The Windows TurboVNC Server (WinVNC) was discontinued with the release of TurboVNC 1.1 in 2012. Our Windows server code was based on TightVNC 1.3.x, so it had a lot of bugs and didn't work with Windows releases later than XP, and because WinVNC was not of strategic importance to The VirtualGL Project (we support Windows 3D applications by running VirtualBox in VirtualGL using the Un*x TurboVNC Server), it was not actively maintained.
In late 2015, a patch was contributed to UltraVNC that accelerates their Tight encoder using the TurboVNC encoding algorithms. Since UltraVNC already uses libjpeg-turbo to accelerate JPEG encoding, the addition of the TurboVNC encoding algorithms brought the performance of the UltraVNC Server up to the same levels as the Un*x TurboVNC Server.
For those desiring a high-performance WinVNC solution, it is recommended that you use the UltraVNC Server, version 184.108.40.206 or later, with the TurboVNC Viewer.

As we are on the precipice of a new year, I gathered together a collection of inspiring words that I'd like to stitch to my heart and carry with me, to motivate me, through 2015. If I had to choose one simple phrase as a theme of sorts for the coming year, it would be this: BE BOLD. I want to live boldly, laugh boldly, love boldly. I want to embrace the uncertain future and all its possibilities. I want to take risks, do what makes my heart sing and not fear failure. If anything, I want to welcome failure, learn from it, grow from it, and keep on going. I desire bravery, courageousness. I want to cultivate fierceness. As incredibly hard as it is for me, the one who hates change and feeling uncomfortable, I want to break out of the old habits weighing me down, live with intent and create magic.
Of course I'd like to be more organized, quit biting my nails (again!), make healthier food choices, exercise more, get my bank account on an upward swing... All those things I resolve to do every year. But I think that striving to live a more purpose-driven life will lead to a happier and more fulfilled me, and many of those things will just naturally fall into place.
Now, I know there is nothing magic about January 1. And I will need to remember that when I inevitably fumble in my grand (but doable, step-by-step) resolutions. Every day is a new day for a great day. Nevertheless, New Year's Eve does prompt reflection and the feeling that the slate is being wiped clean to start fresh and anew. So tonight, when the clock strikes twelve, I will toast to 2015 and welcome all that is to come and all that can be with open arms and a bold heart.
Do you make resolutions? If you had to pick a word, or a few words, to guide you through 2015, what would you choose?
(Image sources: Fierce, Be Brave, Start Today, Do Things,
Go Do Them, Why Not, Happy and Bright, and Magic)

text: Well the 15 year old GMC is in the shop so I bought my first Dodge truck. It was a salvage vehicle with a 6 month warranty. Looks new but I only gave $8,700 for it. Seems like a great truck and the Hemi has tremendous power. I bought it because it was priced right, only had 40 k miles, and had the warranty, plus the dealer I've known for years sold it to me at just a little over what he had in it. Well since then I have heard horror story's about the Doge transmissions not being all that great. Remember I don't know much about Dodge. It has the tow package/selector, cooler, etc. Does any one have any input on the Dodge as a work truck? I'm guessing the transmission is a 545 or something close to that # since it has the Hemi and tow package. Any info about this truck would be appreciated. 04 1500 Dodge ram with Hemi, tow package, etc.
