I had grown tired of feeling like people were focused on one of the parts of my body when they were speaking to me!Trudy
I was not 'new' to reconstructive surgery. I've had procedures in the past along my journey with breast cancer. This time, I opted to have a procedure to make me feel more comfortable.
I've felt self conscious about my arms-I jokingly referred to them as my 'lunch lady arms'. It got to the point where I was uncomfortable wearing short sleeves in the summer. I couldn't wear shirts with those cute cap sleeves or go sleeveless shirts; I avoided anything that didn't go past my elbows! Even then, it was limiting. I couldn't wear a lot of clothes because the arms and sleeves just didn't fit.
I'd been to The Center for my past procedures and for me it only made sense to go back to see what my options were.
Dr. Brewster was straight up with me-I absolutely cannot say enough good things about her; from her bedside manner to the follow up care. She was clear about what needed to be done, showed me pictures, told me what we needed to do to prepare for the procedure, and even recommended products for use afterwards to minimize the after effects from the procedure.
The hardest part for me was actually going through with it, but I knew this was something I needed to do, for me. I've been widowed for 3 years now, I'm in my early 50's, and had grown tired of feeling like people were focused on that part of my body when they were speaking to me. I wanted to look good and I wanted to feel good.
I made the decision to have a bilateral arm lift.
I could not be happier with the outcome! There are fewer limits on my wardrobe, I'm feeling like people are focused on me and not my arms – and I've met someone; I don't know that I would have had the confidence to do that before this surgery.
If you are thinking about making changes for yourself, don't be afraid to move forward. It may not always be something that is medically necessary but the mental process, what we go through internally, makes it necessary.
Everything I had done was totally life changing for me. I did this for myself, but now complete strangers come up to me and say, 'Has anybody told you that you are beautiful?'! That I never expected! Cindy
We, as women (for the most part) are always putting others first, not ourselves. I worked all the time, I couldn't say no to anybody. I have a children, grandchildren, a business, a marriage-all of it took precedent over my own health.
2 years ago, I developed alopecia and crohn's disease. I began to lose my hair. I looked in the mirror and thought, stress has done this to me.
I had a surgery for my crohn's disease. This left me with a long, ugly scar that ran from my pelvis to right under my chest bone.
Once my crohn's was improving, and I had lost all of my hair, I wanted to do something to make me feel better about my body. I had always been 'top heavy' and was teased in high school quite a bit-I am 5'2'' and average about 105 lbs.
My family physician referred me to Dr. Van Ye-I knew once I met him, he was the one I wanted to work with.
I had been dealing with this for so many years, I finally decided 'I'm going to do this!'. I had a minimal reduction done and a lift and a few additional procedures at the same time.
Well, the day of my surgery, my husband picked me up and stayed with me as I was still heavily medicated. My arms were bound, and I needed help getting in and out of my chair. I began speaking to my husband at one point and he wouldn't reply! He was paying attention to me but wouldn't talk to me. I thought maybe he was angry or wanted to tell me something I possibly didn't want to hear. As I said, I was still pretty heavily medicated and it had only been a couple of hours since my surgery. I didn't know for sure if it was me, or if it was him. He began to cry, and started banging his fist on the wall. It was then I realized he COULDN'T speak. I called 911, and it turned out he had had a stroke. Had I not had surgery that day, I definitely would not have been home and would not have been there for him. We were told that because I was able to get him help so quickly, his chances of permanent damage were minimal. He has since made a fantastic recovery and continues to improve.
Six months later, I went in for a checkup. I spoke with Dr. Van Ye about what could be done to reduce my scarring. I ended up with a full tummy tuck; the scar was moved below my belly button! I never even thought this was possible. I'd asked him if he would consider doing a face lift at the same time. I had no hair, I wanted to feel good about myself and had hoped this would help.
Not only has Dr. Van Ye changed my life, he has enabled me to help others because of what he has done for me!
Everything I had done was totally life changing for me. I did this for myself, but now complete strangers come up to me and say, 'Has anybody told you that you are beautiful?'! That I never expected!
When something bad happens in your life, you want to pay it forward. I have a lot of wigs-I donate them to other women in need.
I want people to know if they are on the fence about making changes to their body that THEY ARE WORTH IT; you don't have to tell others what you are doing, it's to make YOU feel better. I see so many women who are top heavy, but the doctors at The Center will figure out if insurance will cover it-these women are uncomfortable! I had the feeling that people were looking at me BECAUSE I was top heavy, and it made me feel they weren't looking at ME. I don't get that feeling anymore, I feel like they are connecting w/me, not a part of my body.
I'd struggled with my weight in high school and worked hard to get in a place where I was comfortable. I did it-I accomplished my goals and felt pretty good about things. Then, I got pregnant; by the end of my pregnancy, I gained 110 pounds.Brianna
I'm a 21 year old mom of a beautiful 18 month old girl. I'm also a full time student, hoping to get my doctorate in Social Work.
I'd struggled with my weight in high school and worked hard to get in a place where I was comfortable. I did it-I accomplished my goals and felt pretty good about things. Then, I got pregnant.
As excited as I was about my pregnancy, the months went by and I began putting on some serious weight. By the end of my pregnancy, I gained 110 pounds – twice the weight I'd lost prior to becoming pregnant! In 9 months I had gone from feeling the happiest I've felt about my body to 'Oh no!!!!!".
At first, I thought I'd lose the weight easily, you know, change my diet, exercise, I knew that breastfeeding would help, but I only lost about 20 pounds. I was really struggling.
My daughter was about 5 months old at the time, and I wasn't losing the weight by doing 'all the right things'.
I googled all of the places in the Fox Valley that provided reconstructive surgery and found The Center. After reading through all of the area sites, I felt like the reviews for The Center looked great. I called and made a consultation appointment with Dr. Brewster.
They walked me through everything at the office; they were so nice there! Dr. Brewster was open and honest. She provided me with all of the details, which I REALLY liked. I felt as though Dr. Brewster got to know me. She got to know all of my struggles, physically and personally and helped me make the right choice for me.
I wasn't nervous; I'd had surgeries before but it's a tough recovery, especially being a full time student and having a 5 month old child. You need help sometimes.
I chose to have a tummy tuck. My lower stomach looks better – I look toned. I wasn't used to having that! It was a great surprise! I regained my confidence. After my pregnancy I no longer felt like myself. This procedure was a big thing for me, it has helped a lot.
Since then, I've brought up to Dr. Brewster that there may be additional work I'd like to have done. They don't pressure you there, but they are there to advise you. They want you to be happy.
So many people say negative things about plastic surgery, so people tend to avoid it. I think a lot of people deal with that societal pressure. But when you know that there is something you hate about yourself, and there's a way to change it, and you do it, you feel so much better. All I can tell you is I feel better and it's helped me and that's all that matters. No one should have to worry about what other people think. Do it for yourself. Your self confidence will thank you.
The worst of it wasn't losing the hair on my head, I'd begun wearing wigs. It was losing my eyebrows and eyelashes. I would look in the mirror, but it wasn't me. I looked emotionless, expressionless-I looked…blank.Sherry
When I was younger, I began losing my hair. This is a condition called Alopecia. About four years ago, it got worse.
It was a slow process; clumps of hair began coming out when I combed it. Then it began to be very noticeable. I wore hats, hoping, thinking it would grow back. But it didn't. I shaved my head, I got a wig. I thought, 'oh, as long as my eyelashes and brows stay'.
About 4-6 months later, I lost those, along with any remaining hair on my body. My condition had developed into Alopecia Totalis.
For me the worst of it wasn't losing the hair on my head, as I mentioned, I'd begun wearing wigs. It was losing my eyebrows and eyelashes. I would look in the mirror, but it wasn't me. I looked emotionless, expressionless-I looked…blank.
I'm lucky enough to have the support of a friend that has exactly the same issue as I do. She told me about Samantha at The Center.
I began working with Samantha to have Microblading done to have eyebrows tattooed on my face. The technique gives the appearance of hairs versus coloring in the whole brow area to give a more natural look. I've heard she is one of the few people in the valley that performs this technique. She is quite the artist and so positive and happy and upbeat. It's WONDERFUL to be around her. I totally trust her, she's meticulous and works with me-she includes me in the process. I have a say in it.
During one of my sessions, I mentioned how difficult it was for me not having eyelashes. She suggested trying to tattoo eyelashes on my eyelids! Samantha added permanent eyeliner and I tolerated that well, so we went forward with the eyelashes.
The staff at The Center are so complimentary, they notice every change I have made. It's been wonderful getting to know them!
I can't even explain what it feels like to have been given back a face that I feel is somewhat a reflection of who I was before my hair loss. When I look in the mirror, I feel so much better about myself. It's a huge self-esteem boost and makes me feel somewhat 'normal' again. I can't imagine anyone being unhappy after going through these procedures!
I was 100 pounds lighter! I was so proud of how far I'd come, but I still wasn't happy with my appearance. It was a mind game; I had this physical image of all of the excess skin and it took me down a bit.Peggy
I started going to The Center for their aesthetic services, but I knew I needed to be a healthier person.
I had surgery for weight loss reduction. So here I was, 100 lbs lighter and I wanted to feel proud of that, not look at my body and feel disappointed. Losing that amount of weight, you end up with excess skin. I was so proud of how far I'd come, but I still wasn't happy with my appearance. It was a mind game; I had this physical image of all of the excess skin and it took me down a bit.
While speaking to staff members at The Center, I made an appointment for a free consultation with Dr. Van Ye. I immediately fell in love with his ideology of why he does what he does.
My tummy tuck was scheduled. Of all of the surgeries I have ever had, including inpatient hospital care, I've never had a process go so well from start to finish.
The team there worked with me to make additional choices for aftercare; in the office they worked with me making sure I had proper documentation of my visits, procedures and anything I needed for insurance purposes; they went above and beyond the call of duty to help me be able to have the surgery. Kudos and hats off to their office staff! They got my second surgery scheduled by the end of the year to save me the additional out of pocket expenses.
The way Dr. Van Ye laid out the options for my 2nd surgery, what we could accomplish, and how it could work out best for me, considering my work schedule and finances was unexpected, another instance of how they go above and beyond.
Now, I am so much more confident in how I look in my clothes. It is a morale booster, for sure! I feel better, yeah there might be more work I'd like to have done, and I may have some scars, but I don't have all this excess skin, my breasts aren't droopy or saggy-they are right where they are supposed to be. I am able to get around better and I no longer need an industrial strength sports bra for my workouts!
Keeping in mind your finances, The Center can and will work with you. Don't wait, do it. You will feel so much better and have a more positive outlook on your life. It isn't only about how you feel but even the way you present yourself to others. Life will pass you by so quickly, why NOT make the change when you can? Why not choose to have the best life you can?
I cannot say one bad thing about my experiences at The Center. I wouldn't go to anyone else for treatments, surgeries or aesthetics. It goes beyond just their abilities, it's the way they treat the people they work with.
My face wasn't looking like I 'felt'. I would look in the mirror, the reflection didn't feel like it was a representation of me! I needed to do something.Mary
I was busy in my earlier days; raising my kids-I have 5 children! I had a business to run, we traveled, I was more focused on others than myself.
My face wasn't looking like I 'felt'. I would look in the mirror, the reflection didn't feel like it was a representation of me! I needed to do something.
So, six years ago, I was sent by my dermatologist to see Dr. Van Ye. I'd had a treatment done in the past, at a different clinic, and scar tissue had been building up around my incisions. I went to The Center to see what could be done. I was scared; but from the moment I set foot in the door, I was so comfortable, the people, the attitude of the entire office, just comforted me. When I found out the cost…I hesitated. I wasn't sure.
But, this was MY time; it was my time to feel better-something I needed to do for myself without feeling selfish. The Center worked with me on the cost and eliminated that hesitation.
I went through with the recommended procedure, and have since gone back to have additional work done-eyelids, a tummy tuck among other treatments.
There was a period of adjustment after my procedure where I felt like- 'Oh my gosh, what did I do?' and if it wasn't for the reassurance of the women at The Center talking me through it, the positive attitude they had, it would have been much more difficult. It takes time to heal, but I wasn't expecting to have that kind of reaction afterwards.
Of course, they were right. Other people weren't seeing what I saw; my confidence grew. Being a shy person to begin with, I felt like people looked at me and could only see my imperfections. Now when I talk to people, I can talk to them with confidence.
At The Center they aren't out to 'sell' you on services. They genuinely want you to feel good about yourself. They guide you, they don't tell you that 'you need this, or you need that'. I've appreciated the honesty here; I've gone for botox treatments at other places and they just gave me what I asked for, but my expert team at The Center informed me that botox was not the answer for me.
Everyone is different; for me, I didn't feel the same on the inside as I did on the outside. I did this for me, not for anyone else. It's not painful and many of my family members can't even tell I've had anything done. The changes look natural. It may feel selfish or you may be concerned about the cost or have some other concerns holding you back, but then you realize, it is WELL worth it for the confidence you feel!
I drove the bus for our child care center-if I had to go on insulin, I would lose my license to operate the bus! Not only was my weight affecting my ability to interact with the kids at the center, but it was now jeopardizing an important aspect of my business.Dorothy
Growing up in a large family (I was the youngest of 9 children) where we didn't have the best nutritional habits, I ended up being an overweight child. I turned into an overweight adult. About 10 years ago, I went to my medical doctor and at 376 lbs was being treated for diabetes and high blood pressure. My doctor told me I needed to get my diabetes under control or I'd have to go on insulin.
I drove the bus for our child care center-if I had to go on insulin, I would lose my license to operate the bus! Not only was my weight affecting my ability to interact with the kids at the center, but it was now jeopardizing an important aspect of my business.
I tried working out, dieting, all of the usual things, then opted for Gastric Bypass surgery; this worked for me. To date, I've lost about 220 lbs; I went from a size 32, and I can now wear a size 4 or 6, thanks to some additional procedures I've had done!
Not everyone may be aware of this, but when you lose so much weight, your skin sags, pretty much everywhere. Your breasts droop and often remain too heavy for your 'new' body. The skin on your arms, legs, stomach, and back becomes very loose.
I was working out, but this didn't seem to solve all of the issues with my loose skin, so I began to get procedures to help sculpt my body into one that 'fit' with the amount of weight I had lost.
I'd had several procedures done prior to attending a presentation at a support group I've been involved with for people who've had Bariatric surgery/Gastric bypasses. Dr. Brewster was the presenter at that particular meeting. I felt an instant connection with her.
I went in to talk to her about an inner thigh lift. I wish she had been around for my earlier surgeries. I feel like she 'gets' me. I just felt like she understood what I wanted, what MY goals were. She really listened to what I was saying. I trusted her, more than any other doctor I have ever worked with. I am very happy with the care I received at The Center from the entire staff. If I had questions, they would answer them, if they didn't know, they would find me the answers I needed. Their follow up care is wonderful.
When you are overweight all of your life, then lose a lot of weight, you begin to recognize how differently people treat you; men AND women. When I was overweight, not once did a man hold the door open for me if we approached it at the same time. Now it happens frequently.
There is still a stigma attached to having a gastric bypass. People ask me, 'did you do it on your own?'. Well of course I did. I may have had the surgery, but just because you have it doesn't mean it's going to be successful for everyone. It takes a lot of work and an entire lifestyle change.
My original surgery gave me my life back, and the additional surgeries I've had are to mentally help me feel good about myself. I have confidence now. I want people to know that they should follow their OWN heart, to do what they think is right and realize that they are worth it. With regaining my health, no amount of money is too much. You wouldn't think twice about taking out a car loan, so why not spend it on your own health and well being? It's not selfish to put yourself first!
Having this procedure put me closer to what I wanted to be as a person; I may have gotten there anyway, but I feel like it ended up helping me along the way. It helped me regain confidence and definitely improved my self-esteem. Reive
Often times, kids have no filter-they say exactly what comes to mind. Around the time I was 7 or 8 years old, I grew tired of classmates saying things about my looks. My ears stuck out quite a bit. I talked to my parents about what I had been experiencing and they took me in for a consultation at The Center. Even at my young age, I remember talking through our options, and a couple of weeks later, we had opted to go for it.
The procedure involved an incision behind my ear, removal of some cartilage, which helped to flatten my ears, then they were stitched to my scalp in an effort to pin them back.
I was pretty nervous going into it, but the surgery wasn't bad. Being the kind of kid I was, I guess I didn't think much about what it was going to be like after the surgery. I was, after all, pretty young. There was some pain, and I felt kind of sick from the anesthesia but the surgery was successful.
Having this procedure put me closer to what I wanted to be as a person; I may have gotten there anyway, but I feel like it ended up helping me along the way. It helped me regain confidence and definitely improved my self-esteem.
I am now a junior in high school trying to figure out what's next for me. It might be the Army or the Marines, I might choose to go into the Law Enforcement program at Fox Valley Technical College, or, auto mechanics. I currently own 7 cars that I like to work on in my spare time. I feel like I've got a really bright future ahead of me and have the confidence to reach my goals.
I don't regret having gone through this procedure one bit. I'd tell anyone facing the same choices as I had that it's well worth it. There's really nothing negative that could come from having it done and in the end, it's only going to make you happier as a person!
At age 6, I had an appendix surgery. I'd lived with the scar (I jokingly referred to it as "The Great Divide") for over 40 years…I never thought anything could be done about this. I hadn't gone into the appointment thinking this would be part of the discussion.Kalin
I have been a client of The Center for the aesthetic services they offer for the last 10 years. I am a very active businesswoman, married, with one son. I love what I do-I have the opportunity in my field to lead and coach people.
During one of my appointments at The Center, I had seen the Cool Sculpt information. I met with Dr. Brewster to discuss the procedure. I had a belly that I just couldn't get rid of, and a nasty scar that I affectionately referred to as 'the great divide', a vertical scar running from my belly button to near my chest bone, from an appendix surgery at age 6.
I'd lived with the scar for over 40 years at this point; I never thought anything could be done about this. I hadn't gone into the appointment thinking this would be part of the discussion.
Dr. Brewster was upfront with me and let me know I was not the best candidate for for Cool Sculpt, but we began discussing my scar. I decided to have this worked on in addition to a tummy tuck, and my droopy eyelids lifted.
Before my surgery, I couldn't even see my belly button. I got a new belly button during the procedure, my scar was moved below it, horizontally instead of vertically. My droopy eyelids were a byproduct of genetics and I knew I wanted to take care of this earlier in life than later.
These procedures have helped with my confidence a great deal. I feel better in my clothes, when I zip up my jeans, they fit better; when I sit down, I am more comfortable.
Especially with my eyelids, I did not want to wait until I was older and have everyone feel like 'What did she have done?' I wanted it to be subtle, not for people to take one look at me and know I'd had work done. I feel like I look more awake. I love the fact that even my sisters and my own mother haven't come to me and said 'You look different!'.
My procedure was performed on the day of a major snowstorm; the guys in my neighborhood had to push us out of our driveway. Dr. Brewster had to wait to get plowed out before she could make it in that day. But the staff was very reassuring, caring and personable. They made me feel at ease. Even during the worst weather, everyone was there and took the utmost care of me.
This journey has surprised me-I never knew it was possible to do anything with the horrible, ugly scar that I've carried with me since childhood. I would have never thought to ask. I am thankful for Dr. Brewster and her advice and recommendations!
After my weight loss, my clothes hid an abundance of evils, but I never felt right in pants. There was saggy skin around my knees and other areas. Let me tell you, you don't feel very attractive when you feel like a shar pei! Lee
I have always struggled with my weight. About 8 or 9 years ago, I went on an intensive weight loss program. It was successful-I lost 100 pounds!
After my weight loss, my clothes hid an abundance of evils, but I never felt right in pants. There was saggy skin around my knees and other areas. Let me tell you, you don't feel very attractive when you feel like a shar pei! My husband was so supportive. He wanted me to make my own decision about my next steps. Of course, I don't think he expected to be providing the after care from my procedures, but he never made me feel inadequate about the way I looked.
At the age of 59, I decided to seek advice for these issues. I had been to The Center years ago for an unrelated procedure, so it made sense to start there. This time around, I wanted a female surgeon. I cannot tell you how impressed I am by Dr. Brewster. She takes a personal touch with every patient and shows real concern not only for the patient, but their entire family.
The day of my surgery, my care was wonderful. Everyone made you feel special. They realize that this is a big deal and want you to know that you are important to them. I ended up having 2 surgeries, a tummy tuck, liposuction on my knees, and a special procedure done on my legs, then returned for an inner thigh lift.
I have 2 daughters and throughout this journey I wanted them to understand that they are beautiful the way they are. I didn't want them to ever feel inadequate. I wanted them to understand what I did is not a reflection on anyone else, it was a very personal thing for me. If I didn't have it done, I would still be an OK person! For me, I'm glad I went through this but I am aware that it can have the wrong impact on someone who has body images.
Remember that your body is a living, breathing thing, you can never be sure how it's going to respond. There can be a cause and effect-having one surgery can make you aware of another area that you'd like to improve. Keep your expectations reasonable and know your limitations-you don't want to cause harm to the work you've had done!
I never would have thought I'd ever be seen in leggings, but here I am today wearing them and I feel great. I enjoy shopping for clothes again; it's no longer a chore. I gained a confidence that, as I'm getting older, I never expected to have.
For me, this was only a stepping stone to get over the hurdle and get out of my own way; to open more doors for myself mentally and physically. Karen
My 30th birthday was a big transition for me. I spent my 20's waiting…pretty much for everything. When I hit 30 I tried to challenge myself, I realized if I didn't let anything happen to me, nothing was going to happen. I took a leap of faith that I thought was, for me, a part of finding myself.
I had always been small chested. In my late 20's I spent a lot of time at the gym – I was in really good shape. I went out, bought new clothes; I felt great about what I had accomplished.
Then came bra shopping. I went to the big chain lingerie store in the mall; a first for me! The attendant asked if I'd ever been fitted for a bra, which I hadn't, so I went through all the measuring to get my perfect 'fit'. I had always purchased a size 32A. (I am pretty sure the bras for that size are the ones that are made from the scraps on the cutting room floor, you know, your basic beige, no frills beauties.). I was told that they didn't have anything in the store that was small enough for me. Devastated, I thanked her, closed the door and stood there looking at myself in the mirror. I had never felt more unsexy in my life. I felt like a little girl, not an almost 30 year old woman. I didn't think I could feel any lower – then I heard the woman in the fitting room next to me asking for a larger size…
My friends had told me about The Center. I gathered up my courage and made an appointment for a consultation. I always felt that implants weren't for me, I wouldn't be qualified – I wasn't worthy.
From the moment I met Dr. Van Ye, he had my confidence. He assessed my size immediately with complete accuracy without even measuring me. He even had a size in mind that he felt would be right for me.
I chose to have a breast augmentation. It was time for me to take control and feel sexy for the first time in my life, the first time to allow myself to feel like a woman. I got more of the hourglass curve I was looking for-I gained a LOT of self confidence which manifested itself not only in my personal life, but my work life as well!
I had been hired by a company for a role that have never existed until I came onboard, and was told to 'take it and run'. After gaining all of this new-found confidence, I was able to take the bull by the horns and take some action. I've earned respect at work. I allowed myself permission to try new things; to explore other cultures when I am traveling for work, and, sadly, move on from some personal relationships that deep down I knew may not be right for me.
The entire process was easy, but I'm not going to lie, there is some pain! I had a moment of 'should I have done this?' 'am I going to look like what I thought I would?'. Oh, I had been warned by Dr. Van Ye about it, but it was hard at that point to trust that in a week after my surgery everything was going to look and feel so much better. But it did.
Now, I GET IT. Bra shopping IS actually fun! It was eye opening. I LIKE my body! I like the way I look and appreciate myself for who I am.
For me, this was only a stepping stone to get over the hurdle and get out of my own way; to open more doors for myself mentally and physically. There's so much more to it than the superficial 'I-just-got-implants'. You will never know unless you make the leap and get that consultation. All I can tell you is JUMP. It is so life changing.

Nicki Chandler was too busy fighting natural disasters on her homestead and trying to avert a range war to worry about romance. She was more likely to chase a man off at gunpoint than invite him in to tea. Then a handsome stranger with a mysterious past came looking for a job. In desperate need of a strong back to help with the work, Nicki reluctantly allowed him to stay, completely unprepared for the assault he would make on her heart. Falling in love was the last thing Levi Cantrell expected when he took a job on the tiny homestead. Nicki Chandler ignited longings within him that he couldn't deny but would she still want him when she found out who he really was?

"loved the series"
I did like this series of books. I have to say the female lead in this third book was the most irritating. I had a hard time liking her, wanted to shake her and tell her to quit throwing stupid tantrums and grow up! Did not ruin the story for me, I liked the rest of the characters and how everything wrapped up in this. Just wish she hadn't been so juvenile. Still a good listen, like this author and narrator.

Ardden Entertainment has confirmed that The Stand-In will relaunch as an ongoing series next year.
Written and created by John Krueger, the book features illustrations by up-and-coming artist Ben Bishop.
The comic - which debuted at the 2009 New York Comic-Con with a prequel #0 issue - follows an actor named Dexter Laumb, who becomes the target of assassins while standing in as a double for a senator.
"I'm really excited to finally tell this story. And to take full advantage of my love of Hitchcock as a genre that mixes humour and horror with a lot of style," said Krueger. "I was once held at gunpoint by someone who thought I was someone else as well. So, this one's a bit personal."
The Stand-In #0 is available now. The ongoing series launches in 2011.

guess nobody is going
Probably going Friday. SHould be there from 9-2

I went a couple of times. The equipment was limited and there were no demos. Kinda boring.

This is not an equipment show. It is more for nureries, nursery supplies, etc. They have both Hooters & HardRock at the inner harbour as well as the rest of the tourist stuff for that area.
we have ben in the past and seems like little by little they are a few more equipment companies each year. but always ben a fun trip.

Perched on a ridge between the increasingly cool neighbourhood of Newstead and the elegant, well-heeled New Farm, the riverside streets of Teneriffe are emerging as a destination in their own right. Teneriffe was previously the heart and soul of Australian wool exporting, the most profitable industry in the country at the turn of the 20th century. This industrial heritage is still visible in the many woolstores and the Teneriffe Wharves, the landmark around which the suburb is centred. A short walk from the nightlife of Fortitude Valley and the fun of Chinatown, Teneriffe is also home to ornate examples of Queenslander architecture and several great eateries.
The 199 bus takes just 20 minutes to get to Teneriffe from Brisbane's City Hall, or you can take a 40 minute walk north-east from the city via the neighbourhood of Fortitude Valley. You can also take a picturesque CityCat ferry ride from the city's Riverside ferry terminal to Teneriffe's Commercial Road wharf. The ferry takes about 30 minutes and stops by the suburbs of New Farm and Bulimba along the way.
- Step back in time as you explore historic streets and boardwalks
- Enjoy the waterfront, whether dining, cycling or attending a festival
- Taste the best of local produce and craft beers at great eateries

Performance of seismically loaded shearwalls on nonlinear shallow foundations
If utilized, the energy dissipative capability of seismically loaded shallow foundations due to inelastic behavior can result in more economic design, provided the consequences, such as excessive deformations are accounted for. In this article, a Beam-on-Nonlinear-Winkler-Foundation (BNWF) model is used to assess the performance of shearwall-foundation systems with different attributes, when subjected to ground motions of varied hazard levels. The numerical study indicates that the force and drift demands to the shearwall reduce significantly, when nonlinear foundation behavior is realized, while permanent settlement is well below the permissible limit. These results support the concept of shallow foundation capacity mobilization in future design. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Nick Cannon Hospitalized Through Christmas For Lupus Complications
Nick Cannon is in the hospital again for lupus complications, and will remain there through Christmas. The "America's Got Talent" host posted an Instagram photo of himself in a hospital bed at Cedars-Sinai in Los Angeles, along with a note that said he's been there for a "few days," but he will be "back to normal before the New Year."
Next to the picture of Cannon connected to a drip and other devices, he wrote, "For all who have been trying to contact me the last few days this is where I've been. And I will be in the Hospital through Christmas. All good though, Doctors say I will be back to normal before the New Year. #LupusSucks #ncredible #warrior."
As Gossip Cop has reported, the entertainer has been hospitalized in the past for lupus. After suffering from exhaustion in July 2015, Cannon similarly posted an Instagram photo from a hospital bed, along with the caption, "Don't worry, Temporary pit stop… Sometimes I can be a little too bull headed and stubborn." He added, "I gotta stop running my body to the ground."
Also around this time five years ago, Cannon was hospitalized for kidney failure after falling ill while on vacation is Aspen, Colorado with his then-wife Mariah Carey and their twins. He later underwent surgery, and was transferred to a Los Angeles hospital, where he recuperated. After developing blood clots in his lungs the following month, Cannon revealed he suffers from lupus.

Potato Rings Slicer
Category: Food and Beverage, Household
In the fast food and restaurant service industry, foods are processed and prepared in advance, frozen or stored, and delivered to restaurants. Everything is measured, calculated, and sized in order to maximize the food output, which is termed "portion control".
Such is the case with traditional french fries. Yet there is an alternative way of cutting potatoes for french fries which not only looks more attractive, but is also more economical and cost-effective for the food service industry.
Potato Rings Slicer: Unique Features & Benefits:
The Potato Rings Slicer is a unique culinary tool that cuts potatoes into ring shapes, similar to onion rings. It is economical because less potatoes will actually be needed to fill a plate or french fry cup. For example, in a french fry cup, traditional french fries fit tightly. Yet french fries cut into rings will fit loosely in the same cup and have more empty space, so that it doesn't take as many potato rings to fill a cup. This provides better portion controls to produce the maximum profitability from each potato, estimated to be up to 50%.
Gourmet Potato Rings:
Decorative Culinary Food Creations:
The Potato Rings Slicer is designed for both home use and industrial use. While the prototype [shown above] is designed for the consumer, the patented Potato Rings Slicer can be adapted to automated machines for industrial use.
Whether it's the homemaker who wants to make food look better, or the fast food industry for maximizing profitability, or a culinary wizard who wants a unique tool to create artistic dish masterpieces, the Potato Rings Slicer is expected to become an indispensible culinary tool.
Special features of The Potato Rings Slicer include:

How far is Myki making you walk?
If you want to catch a tram in Melbourne then you need a Myki, despite the fact you can't buy one or top it up onboard the tram. In 2017 The Age highlighted the difficulty this can pose for intending tram passengers, in an article on myki "dead zones" – tram stops where the nearest place to top up your myki is at least a kilometre away. Coincidently I started work on an almost identical project years ago but never finished it, so what better time to polish it off?

Tracing a performance issue on my web server
Managing my various web sites can be difficult at times, and my experience the other weekend was no different. My day started normally enough, as I logged onto my VPS and installed the latest security patches, then set to work on uploading new photos to my site. It was then I noticed my web site was taking minutes to load pages, not seconds, so I started to dig into the cause.

This list is not even remotely objective. These are the films that I've derived the most enjoyment out of over the past ten years. There's a good chance that Where the Wild Things Are will make honorable mention by the end of the year, but more on that later. These are the best movies released between 2000 and 2009. Go rent them if you've been missing out.
Top 10 Films of the Decade (2000-2009):
10. No Country for Old Men (2007)
Other than the obligatory Oscar for Return of the King, this was the only time the Academy Awards got the Best Picture correct in the past 10 years. All it takes is a story by Cormac McCarthy and the Coen brothers. What took Hollywood so long to figure this out? Not unlike Chigurh, the Coen/McCarthy team is an unstoppable force.
9. Half Nelson (2006)
Ryan Gosling's performance as a drugged out schoolteacher is the most compelling piece of acting I've seen this decade (at least in a lead role, the top honor goes to a supporting actor). His charm is so endearing, and his weakness is so powerful. Complimented with a perfect soundtrack from Broken Social Scene and some of the most realistic cinematography of urban decay ever filmed, Half Nelson is nearly perfect. The more you watch it, the more impressive it becomes.
8. The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters (2007)
The most entertaining documentary of the decade. Sure, the directors might editorialize certain scenes to make the story work for their benefit, but the editing is what makes this such a fantastic piece of storytelling. Hours upon hours were filmed, but cut down to a mere 79 minutes, King of Kong proves the virtue of gathering more than enough food for the winter. They clearly established a villain and a hero, and propelled their story so seamlessly it felt like we were watching a live sporting event. Go Wiebe!
7. The Lord of the Rings trilogy (2001-2003)
It takes something really special to challenge a film staple. Lord of the Rings stormed this decade with the intention of becoming the greatest film trilogy of all time. This meant that Star Wars and The Godfather were being challenged. Personally, I think Lord of the Rings wins. I guess the ending of Return of the King was too long, but who cares, after 9 hours of relentless adventure and fantasy, an epilogue is necessary. These films are cultural behemoths, and will forever be remembered for their ambition and boldness. A "no duh" for this decade's big films.
6. I Heart Huckabees (2004)
Now it's getting personal, or should I say, existential? There aren't many movies about philosophy, and the few that do exist aren't very successful at being simultaneously philosophical and entertaining (I'm looking at you, Waking Life). I Heart Huckabees is brutally misunderstood, embarrassingly self-aware and unassumingly hilarious. When I need to laugh at myself, I put this one on. It's probably the smartest piece of self-deprecating humor an intellectual can interact with in a movie. If you didn't get it, you're not smart enough. I mean, come on, what books do you read anyway?
5. Synecdoche New York (2008)
Speaking of existentialism, never before has it been so beautifully and dreadfully realized in film than in Charlie Kaufman's masterpiece, Synecdoche New York. This film is staggering. Through dream-logic narration, the depression seeps in slowly. By the end of this film, life and death are contemplated thoroughly and with serious conviction. Another movie that will be misunderstood, but those who connect with it will be unable to forget the intensity of its meta-emotive surrealism for the rest of their brief, meaningless lives.
4. I'm Not There (2007)
The Bob Dylan movie! That title would have suited it fine, but I'm Not There works just as well. He's the most interesting living figure of our time, and a typical biopic just wouldn't do him justice. What Dylan requires is symbolism, homage, mystery, discomfort, ambition and subtlety. Among other things. There will not be a better film made about his life. When he dies, and once the evening news historians explain to this stupid country just how important he was to our cultural, political and artistic development, people will go back to this one. There's a lot to learn here folks, don't be afraid of the metaphors.
3. O Brother Where Art Thou? (2000)
Replay value like Tom Petty's greatest hits. The Coen's writing in top form, dialogue for the 19th century and one of the best soundtracks since The Blues Brothers. O Brother is beyond fun. "Damn. We're in a tight spot," grumbles Everett. And with that line, suddenly we don't hate George Clooney so much anymore. This is a movie that reminds us why we love movies. It's entertainment in the highest regard of the term. Leave the theatre with quotes to repeat, songs in your head and a smile on your face. I'm not really a believer in "redemptive film," but in this case, I wouldn't have it any other way.
2. The Dark Knight (2008)
It's not just Heath Ledger's Joker. It's not just the stunningly dark cinematography of Chicago. It's a story. So deep in its philosophical undertones, so rich in its drama, The Dark Knight is a modern mythology perfected through motion picture. A beautiful opera for our generation. We can learn so much about ourselves, about the nature of good and evil and the human condition through this story. Psychologically, this is a lucid dream come true. It's more than entertainment. It's more than just a movie. It's a visual fairy tale for the 21st century human being. Kubrick would have been proud.
1. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004)
Charlie Kaufman deserved his Oscar for this one. Enjoying practically universal praise, Eternal Sunshine gave audiences a feeling that they never knew was possible to experience at the movies. Paired with the whimsy of Michel Gondry, and the pure talents of Kate Winslet and Jim Carrey, this film remains a genre unto itself. I believe that this is the best film of the decade because of the changes that it heralded in the public consciousness. For whatever reason, Americans were OK with this bizarre trip of metaphysical romance. It was an artsy movie that not-so-artsy people respected and actually enjoyed. And even the film buffs couldn't discredit this. It is a daring piece of art, that transcends taste and celebrates emotion. For a film about losing one's memory, it certainly did a bang-up job of being memorable. "Remember me. Try your best." Oh, don't you worry about that Kate. You're not going anywhere.

My Career Step: Jessica Cumber
Jessica's Goals
- Train for a career that she could do as a military spouse
- Find a job quickly
- Become a licensed pharmacy technician
Benefits of her Career Step Education
- Took the courses online and at her own pace
- Graduated prepared to take the PTCB certification exam
- Found a job within weeks of graduating
A Step in a New Direction
In 2010 my husband Jeff decided to leave his teaching job and apply to the Air Force. The one thing I was worried about in the whole "transition to a military family and moving far away from everyone I loved" thing was my career, since I was National Board Certified as a science teacher—I was SET! While we were still in California, I applied to Montana for my teaching credential so I could start the job search as soon as we got to Montana. I also started my Master's in Science Education at Montana State University.
Then I got "the letter" asking me what institution had I done my teacher preparation courses at and to please send my transcript. I wrote back detailing my Alternative Certification Program, National Board Certification, and my 9 years experience, offering my teaching portfolios as evidence (yes, I still had them). Montana said, "Sorry, you aren't eligible for ANY kind of teaching credential in the state because you have no education courses from an accredited college. Come back and apply once you have satisfied those requirements."
I was heartbroken and angry that I was not going to be able to teach! What else was I supposed to do? My husband was angry at himself for "making" me give up my career along with everything else for him to join the Air Force. I couldn't see a way to get ahead as a teacher, so I withdrew from my Master's program and started looking for something else.
One of my friends had just completed a course in Medical Transcription Editing, so I sat down to talk with her over coffee one morning. Turns out, spouses of junior military members receive career support in the form of a scholarship from MyCAA. I jumped at this opportunity and decided on Pharmacy Technician training online through Career Step. The courses looked interesting, had plenty of science used on a daily basis, and the national certification requirements were TRULY national.
Some might say it is a step backwards for me, but I'm looking at it as a step in a new direction. I was excited to be back in SCIENCE!!
A Quick Study Path
I was able to do the course at my pace, and completely online—which fit in with being a military wife, employed full time, and a mom of two school-aged daughters. I emailed back and forth with my adviser several times, but mostly I plowed through the course on my own. I enrolled on July 30 and graduated on September 3, but I really finished the coursework a week before that and spent the next week studying for the final exam. I finished the program in a little less than a month, got a 96% on my final exam, and graduated with High Honors on September 3.
I took the PTCB certification exam and preliminarily passed the test on Friday, September 13, and received my official results on September 30. I felt well-prepared for the exam due to the training I received at Career Step. Having the certification was a great benefit because it made getting licensed and employed much easier since the state of Montana requires certification within 18 months of beginning work in a pharmacy in order to obtain a permanent pharmacy technician license.
Employed Within Weeks
I really only had my eye on two jobs—one at the hospital and the other in a local pharmacy. I interviewed a week after graduating and was hired within 2 or 3 weeks of graduating at the pharmacy. I really felt that the Institutional Pharmacy unit was a great overview and gave me a great idea of what to expect in my new job. I spent many evenings after working at my new job going back to the Career Step course and textbooks to review sections in preparation for work the next day. I was very thankful to have the resources offered by Career Step available after I graduated! I would recommend Career Step to others—especially for busy moms who juggle many things!

Personally, I do not see a problem with it, it seems to me the majority of people wanting to keep this policy are of the mind that every single gay person is out to get them, which is absurd. Its quite sad to see that people have to hide their own personal identity/beliefs to be able to fight for the liberties that we hold dear. Every single argument that I have heard from people that want to keep this in place are the arguments that are completely stereotypical and does not apply to the majority of homosexuals. Discuss..

Ricky Tomlinson: 'It was the first time I have had to act without knowing what was coming'
Ricky Tomlinson enters a magical realm for his festive fantasy film The Last Dragonslayer. But, The Royle Family star's feet remain firmly rooted in reality, as Jeananne Craig finds out
With a cackle worthy of his alter ego Jim Royle, Ricky Tomlinson is recounting how he landed his role in upcoming TV film The Last Dragonslayer.
"When I went to speak to them, they said to me, 'Do you know anything about dragons?' And I said, 'I've lived with one for 27 years'. They said, 'You're the man for the part!'"
Laughter is never far away during a chat with The Royle Family star - particularly with wife Rita nearby to rib.
There aren't many who could interrupt the funny man when he's in full flow, but Tomlinson's other half is perfectly able to hold her own.
When he begins to wax lyrical about their beloved grandchildren - his "weak spot" - Rita interjects from the background: "You're boring her!"
Cue more chortles, before Tomlinson says of his wife: "I wouldn't part with her." (Then pauses for effect before adding, "Not for a few years anyway.")
The 77-year-old Liverpudlian says it's been "murder" lately, as Rita, who he married in 2003 after many years together, has been struggling with the long hair he grew for his Last Dragonslayer role.
Based on the Jasper Fforde novel, the lavish Sky1 film blends magic and medieval with the modern day, and tracks young indentured orphan Jennifer Strange (Ellise Chappell) as she learns it's her destiny to become the last dragonslayer.
Tomlinson plays Moobin, an employee at Zambini's magical agency whose best magic days have passed. Prone to visions, the bushy-bearded character foresees a climactic battle between Maltcaisson, the last of the great dragons, and the dragonslayer.
"I love it, there's a lot of people that like it; it's only Rita that doesn't," Tomlinson says of his hirsute look.
"She's making me go and get it bloody cut. It's down past me shoulders now. And I'll have to give in, otherwise there'll be no Christmas dinner for me. I'm hoping for a phone call off the film company saying, 'You'll be going straight into production for Dragonslayer 2 after Christmas', and I'll be able to keep it then."
Along with the long hair and beard, the slightly unkempt Moobin can also boast a rather ruddy face - a look which ended up causing some confusion.
"They used to put red on me nose and stuff on me cheeks, and me hair was all over the place. Every night, the make-up girls would say, 'Come on, we'll wash your hair', and I'd say, 'No, you need to get away and go and have your sleep, so I'll wash my hair when I go back to the hotel'.
"And I used to go back with this red on me face and nose and this hair, and people used to think I was a tramp coming in. The doorman tried to stop me one night. He said, 'Where are you going?' I said, 'I'm going to me room!'"
It's hard to imagine this down-to-earth star in a fantasy world of dragons and special effects, but he loved making The Last Dragonslayer.
"It was great fun, but it was unusual for me because it was the first time I've had to act without knowing what was coming. The special effects in the movie are absolutely stunning," says Tomlinson.
"The director Jamie (Stone) was one of these young kids, and yet his knowledge - he was trying to explain to me about 50ft dragons and this and that. He'd say, 'You just look there and put your fingers out and waggle your fingers and this will happen'. I thought, 'This kid's having a bloody breakdown!' But it's absolutely amazing. All this is in his head and then he puts it into production."
Children will be "mesmerised" by the final result, but there's plenty in there for adults, insists Tomlinson, whose first high-profile job in showbusiness was playing union activist Bobby Grant in Brookside.
"There's a really good moral story in it, about greed and corruption, and I think that will come across."
The star has five grandchildren - two who are "grown-up and sorted out, and three little'uns", Louis (11), Maggie (4) and Jack (2) - who will be a big fixture in his house this Christmas.
"I do love my grandkids; they're my weak link. When people come here and I take them into the conservatory, it's like Toys R Us. There's dolls' houses, prams, go-karts. And there's a bloody big trampoline in the garden.
"Do I go on it? I'd be over the garden wall if I jumped on that, kid! They're only built to take so much weight. People would think I was going to the bloody moon."
This month, Tomlinson will also be appearing on BBC One's Who Do You Think You Are?, where he learns that he comes from generations of carters who transported goods on Liverpool's docks when the city was the British Empire's busiest port.
During the show, the actor, himself a keen campaigner for workers' rights, who spent time in prison in the Seventies for 'conspiracy to intimidate' during trade union activities, learns how dangerous conditions were for his ancestors.
Turning serious for a moment, he says he found the experience an emotional one.
"I was crying making that. My family ended up in the workhouse, 24 families living in a tenement block, one toilet and one cold water pipe between the 24 families. So you can imagine how bad conditions were," he says.
"I'm from a pretty rough, tough working-class background but I'm delighted about it. I'm not ashamed of it, I'm very proud."
If he was offered a place on the Honours list for all his hard work, he says he'd tell them to, "Stick it up your a***".
"I don't believe in the Honours list. I don't think people should get OBEs and CBEs and knighthoods because they've made a lot of money, or because they've sold a million records." Tomlinson adds: "I'd far rather be the descendent of a dock worker than a duke or a count."

|The Woolmark Company presented the 2014/15 Autumn/Winter edition of The Wool Lab at Intertextile Shanghai (Apparel Fabrics).
One of the most important events for apparel fabrics and accessories – the 19th Intertextile Shanghai (Apparel Fabrics) - has been held in October. The latest wool fabrics from the 2014/15 Autumn/Winter edition of The Wool Lab were presented by The Woolmark Company and garnered great attention from the industry.
The exhibition revealed the most appealing woollen trends and guidelines for the upcoming season's best products. The Wool Lab proposed seven inspirational themes and set warm colours as a dominant hue of knitwear. Among these, the theme of Highlands stemmed from the massive landscape of Scottish Highlands and diversified colours of hilly regions. It combines various vegetation colours into one, from jungle green and grass green to land brown, giving people a sense of comfort, thickness and warmness.
The colour blue will also continue with its popularity and remain a typical choice for both formal and leisure occasions, thanks to its fineness and profound expressive force.
In this season, a total of eight inspirational fabric trends were introduced to public: Classic woven fabric pattern made by multi-colour melange/mouline yarn; Wool jeans fabric; circular knitted woven fabric; woven fabric laminated/printed/coated with patterned fabrics; 3D or relief effect surface, especially different texture on both sides; fancy pattern circular fabric such as a lace effect; as well as vintage effect. Some woollen/worsted woven fabrics with a classic pattern for interior textile use was also included to be applied to autumn and winter products.
