Static Pages:
Here's something I've been thinking about for a few days now. About a week, in fact. But I wanted to put off reacting to it until more information had come out. Not that much more has, since it's not in style anymore.
Here's what's come out, to date….
About three weeks ago, a cop shot a kid. Meaning that, three weeks ago, that's what we were hearing. In fact, there were a few more details. Like the kid in question being eighteen, and close to my height, and possibly the weight of my car. So, initial images of a cop shooting an infant in the back may have been a little…off.
On the topic, the kid in question—Michael Brown—wasn't evidently shot in the back; the eventual story fed to the press is that Brown, beleaguered by an anonymous cop, had been walking in the street, when he'd been ordered to stop doing that, leading to Brown rushing the cop and trying to steal the cop's gun.
A week after the incident, the police finally released the name of the officer involved—Darren Wilson—upsold with an irrelevant video of Brown in a convenience store. The implication is that the cop shot the kid for stealing cigars.
I call the video irrelevant for a few reasons. One's that the cop had no apparent knowledge of the robbery; another's that no one's certain that a robbery ever took place; a third's that, even if the cop had known that the kid had just stolen a few cigars, it turns out that cops don't get to shoot people for that. You kooky Americans and your Rule of Law.
Riots ensue; Al Sharpton remembers that he exists; who cares.

People did, of course…you know…care.
Then, on the nineteenth—about a week ago now—the Washington Post ran a sorta open letter from Sunil Dutta: a Professor of Homeland Security at Colorado Tech University, formerly a cop in Los 'Rodney King Yo' Angeles for seventeen years.
The contents of that open letter concern me. So I've been thinking about them for a few days, waiting to react until more information had come out. Which, again, it never really did.
This is what concerns me about this letter. I'll repost it, line by line, with my thoughts in red:
A teenager is fatally shot by a police officer; the police are accused of being bloodthirsty, trigger-happy murderers; riots erupt.
With ya so far….
This, we are led to believe, is the way of things in America.
Yeah. That's absurd. Ordinarily, when a cop shoots a teenager, the whole incident remains safely beneath the radar of the media; Internal Affairs, functionally policing themselves, investigate for a couple weeks, while the cop sits at home or at a desk on paid leave, before ruling it a good shooting; the dead kid's parents sue the city; the city settles out of court for a typically undisclosed amount of taxpayers' money; riots never erupt.
It is also a terrible calumny; cops are not murderers.
Agreed. Also not murderers: people who get abortions; people who eat inhuman meat; people who dig calumny out of a thesaurus to sound more educated than they're about to….
No officer goes out in the field wishing to shoot anyone, armed or unarmed.
And while they're unlikely to defend it quite as loudly during a time of national angst like this one, people who work in law enforcement know they are legally vested with the authority to detain suspects — an authority that must sometimes be enforced.
The specific authority in question:
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.—Amendment IV, US Constitution
Definition of Probable Cause: a reasonable amount of suspicion, supported by circumstances sufficiently strong to justify a prudent and cautious person's belief that certain facts are probably true—Ballentine's Law Dictionary
Regardless of what happened with Mike Brown, in the overwhelming majority of cases it is not the cops, but the people they stop, who can prevent detentions from turning into tragedies.
…it is not the cops…who can prevent detentions….
Cops: the mindless blunt tools of the Executive Branch.
Working the street, I can't even count how many times I withstood curses, screaming tantrums, aggressive and menacing encroachments on my safety zone, and outright challenges to my authority.
This is why we encourage you to write these things down, amassing a sum total of quantifiable police reports: we don't trust your memory.
In the vast majority of such encounters, I was able to peacefully resolve the situation without using force.
Someone's in line for a StarSticker….
Cops deploy their training and their intuition creatively, and I wielded every trick in my arsenal, including verbal judo, humor, warnings and ostentatious displays of the lethal (and nonlethal) hardware resting in my duty belt.
Verbal Judo is just bad lipsynching in the transition from Japanese to American, right? Ah, so: Gojira! Gojira!
One time, for instance, my partner and I faced a belligerent man who had doused his car with gallons of gas and was about to create a firebomb at a busy mall filled with holiday shoppers.
One time, I faced a belligerent cop who accused me of walking with a cane to conceal public intoxication. Your turn….
The potential for serious harm to the bystanders would have justified deadly force.
Shooting the car saturated in petrol, you mean.
Instead, I distracted him with a hook about his family and loved ones, and he disengaged without hurting anyone.
'Yo' mama's so ugly, cars explode spontaneously.'
Every day cops show similar restraint and resolve incidents that could easily end up in serious injuries or worse.
Never underestimate the 115 IQ Ceiling.
Sometimes, though, no amount of persuasion or warnings work on a belligerent person; that's when cops have to use force, and the results can be tragic.
Like when a kid won't stop walking down the middle of an empty street in broad daylight.
We are still learning what transpired between Officer Darren Wilson and Brown, but in most cases it's less ambiguous — and officers are rarely at fault.
Source: Internal Affairs.
When they use force, they are defending their, or the public's, safety.
'You! CigarGuy, weighing a tenth of my squadcar! Stop endangering the pavement!'
Even though it might sound harsh and impolitic, here is the bottom line: if you don't want to get shot, tased, pepper-sprayed, struck with a baton or thrown to the ground, just do what I tell you.
Do what I tell you, or get shot. Assault with a deadly weapon. By definition. If he weren't writing this from sixty-two miles away, in Colorado Springs, I'd call this a watertight violation of USCode 18.875.
Don't argue with me, don't call me names, don't tell me that I can't stop you, don't say I'm a racist pig, don't threaten that you'll sue me and take away my badge.
I wouldn't threaten to sue you and take away your badge; I'd sue you and take away your badge after the fact. Scientist thing: I don't wanna taint your behaviour by heisenberging it.
Don't scream at me that you pay my salary, and don't even think of aggressively walking towards me.
I've got a cane. Is that aggressive? Because wheelchairs can be.
Most field stops are complete in minutes. How difficult is it to cooperate for that long?
You're asking how difficult it is to submit to assault with a deadly weapon? It's kinda against my nature, based on the fights I've been in.
I know it is scary for people to be stopped by cops.
Is it? I dunno. Things don't scare me. Sociopath thing. The closest I get to fear, in a situation like this, is devoting too much thought to …don't kill the moron…don't kill the moron…. It's tantamount to the hassle of having to pull my feet up to land correctly after being thrown off a ZBoard which has hit a large rock at twenty miles per hour.
I also understand the anger and frustration if people believe they have been stopped unjustly or without a reason.
Your thesaurus has failed you: doubting that a cop has a reasonable amount of suspicion, supported by circumstances sufficiently strong to justify a prudent and cautious person's belief that certain facts are probably true is not by definition a belief.
I am aware that corrupt and bully cops exist.
Caught that, didya?
When it comes to police misconduct, I side with the ACLU: Having worked as an internal affairs investigator, I know that some officers engage in unprofessional and arrogant behavior; sometimes they behave like criminals themselves.
Close. A cop breaking the law isn't behaving like a criminal; a cop breaking the law is a criminal. Try arresting and booking one on suspicion, instead of throwing him at a desk on salary, and you might start seeing the similarities.
I also believe every cop should use a body camera to record interactions with the community at all times.
Agreed. And I'll go one further: in the event that the timestamped camera malfunctions, or gets its view blocked, we'll call that a lack of evidence contributing automatically to reasonable doubt.
Every police car should have a video recorder.
Is this not already the case? Everyone made of molecules in Russia has a dashcam; there are squadcars lacking in these things in the US?
(This will prevent a situation like Mike Brown's shooting, about which conflicting and self-serving statements allow people to believe what they want.)
Are you seriously telling me that Wilson's squadcar had no dashcam? See the bit about reasonable doubt, above.
And you don't have to submit to an illegal stop or search.
Awesome. I'll quote you on this if a cop onscene ever says otherwise. I'll yell back: 'You pull over; you can't stop me, you racist pig; I'll sue you and take away your badge! Officer Dutta says Hi!' Like that?
You can refuse consent to search your car or home if there's no warrant (though a pat-down is still allowed if there is cause for suspicion).
I've done that. Officer Smith [seriously] of the Des Moines Police Department had me stand with my palms flat on the bonnet of his squadcar while he searched my vehicle regardless. Any other bright ideas?
Always ask the officer whether you are under detention or are free to leave.
No. I don't wanna know whether I'm being detained; that's a meaningless, halfassed state. I wanna know whether I'm under arrest, or free to go. Because being under arrest requires evidence to get out of having kidnapped me.
Unless the officer has a legal basis to stop and search you, he or she must let you go.
Because, otherwise, he'll force you at gunpoint to remain standing with your palms flat on the bonnet of his car while he searches yours.
Finally, cops are legally prohibited from using excessive force: The moment a suspect submits and stops resisting, the officers must cease use of force.
Note to Cops: Keep shouting 'Stop resisting!' while beating the guy you knocked unconscious thirty seconds ago, in case there are cameras.
But if you believe (or know) that the cop stopping you is violating your rights or is acting like a bully, I guarantee that the situation will not become easier if you show your anger and resentment.
What anger and resentment? I'm a sociopath. To me, you're just another boring object making noises at me. You serve no practical purpose. Being angry at you is like being angry at the rain: a stupid incidence of downtime preventing me from rolling along on my EV Skateboard.
I'll have you incarcerated later, when I'm less busy.
Worse, initiating a physical confrontation is a sure recipe for getting hurt.
Read: when a cop, who's threatening however implicitly to shoot you if you don't obey him, suspects that you're not obeying him, you're initiating a confrontation. Also: pissing yourself might repulse him into leaving you alone, I've heard.
Police are legally permitted to use deadly force when they assess a serious threat to their or someone else's life.
Good call: your need to use deadly force was coincident to someone's life being in danger.
Save your anger for later, and channel it appropriately.
And, here I am.
Do what the officer tells you to and it will end safely for both of you.
'Gi'me the justice, and no one gets hurt!'
We have a justice system in which you are presumed innocent; if a cop can do his or her job unmolested, that system can run its course.
Think happy thoughts; it'll all be over soon….
Later, you can ask for a supervisor, lodge a complaint or contact civil rights organizations if you believe your rights were violated.
Or suspect. Or suppose. Or presume. Or affirm. Or don't use a thesaurus.
Feel free to sue the police!
Free being six hundred bucks to file a lawsuit; hiring a lawyer is optional.
Just don't challenge a cop during a stop.
The guy's got an IQ under 115; what wouldn't challenge him…?
An average person cannot comprehend the risks and has no true understanding of a cop's job.
I'm not average: I'm six and a half feet tall and emotionless, and my IQ looks like your cholesterol.
Hollywood and television stereotypes of the police are cartoons in which fearless super cops singlehandedly defeat dozens of thugs, shooting guns out of their hands.
I know: I've heckled those films.
Real life is different.
Not a lot: I heckle real cops too.
An average cop is always concerned with his or her safety and tries to control every encounter.
All cops are average: perfectly IQ Normative. Did you read the article I linked to?
That is how we are trained.
And why people with IQs of 125 are rejected.
While most citizens are courteous and law abiding, the subset of people we generally interact with everyday are not the genteel types.
ThesaurusBoy used another word.
You don't know what is in my mind when I stop you.
I know it's nothing particularly postgrad.
Did I just get a radio call of a shooting moments ago?
Not if your name is Darren Wilson.
Am I looking for a murderer or an armed fugitive?
And is he DtF in my area?
For you, this might be a "simple" traffic stop, for me each traffic stop is a potentially dangerous encounter.
Possibly because you're using an emergency vehicle improperly to arrest the right to travel under pain of death.
Show some empathy for an officer's safety concerns.
[sociopathy] is traditionally defined as a personality disorder characterised by enduring antisocial behaviour, diminished empathy and remorse, and disinhibited or bold behaviour.
I don't do empathy. You emotionally motivated dweeb.
Don't make our job more difficult than it already is.
'I pulled you over for doing seventy-three in a sixty-five; but I'm going to call it seventy. And do you know why?'
Because you can't do fractions.
Community members deserve courtesy, respect and professionalism from their officers.
And also evidence of Bigfoot.
Every person stopped by a cop should feel safe instead of feeling that their wellbeing is in jeopardy.
So, don't challenge me; walk nonaggressively, or I'll kill you to death.
Shouldn't the community members extend the same courtesy to their officers and project that the officer's safety is not threatened by their actions?
Equivocation. A guy using a gun to stop me and ask whether I have a gun isn't deserving of quid pro quo.
Now, don't get me wrong: I have no particular problem with cops. Though that's a bit of a loaded sentence, I suppose. To me, cops are about the same as anyone: someone holding down something of a McJob because he's comfy with routine. But note that I'm talking precisely about cops here. What I'm not talking about are criminals impersonating officers to get their bully on; those are people I have a problem with.
I've mentioned this before. Not recently, I suppose; but, way back in NotS, in 1999, I mentioned that real cops—good ones—very likely the vast majority of them—are great. Arguably needless; not people I call when I've got a problem [the last time I was involved in a situation I could have called the cops over was in 2008, when I phonecammed the ?janitor at KingStoopids accusing us of shoplifting, preventing us from leaving the store and searching Hunter for stolen merch she didn't possess; I didn't call the police (or, really, the FBI, who handle kidnapping cases); I went back the next day to talk to the store's manager and, to misuse a word related within a thesaurus, blackmailed her into resolving the situation to my satisfaction]. But, in general, and on disappointing average, Johnny Law is just some goof in a costume with a zipper beneath his clipon tie who does little more than act as a scarecrow to remind people to slow back down toward the speedlimit. Real cops, who do their actual jobs, don't really mean much to me.
Bad cops—which I argue aren't really cops—annoy me. These are just bullies, reassured by a selfpolicing internal review board which excuses things—like scarring an infant with a grenade and shooting hostages and filling parked cars with more bullets than you'd reasonably expect a given precinct to possess—as proper conduct becoming an officer of the law. And that's all just within the last year.
In my own experience, there's always Officer Smith, who actually asked me this inane question: Have you got anything in your car that could hurt me? Guns? Knives? Big snakes?
Yeah. You caught me. I do herpetological animal husbandry in a Pontiac as a hobby. You thin, blue waffle.
Which I didn't actually say. What I actually said was: I've got some Advil; the warnings indicate that you could overdose.
And then he ordered me out of my property to search it without my consent. Because he was a bad cop—a bully impersonating an officer.
I once had a cop pull me over near Atlanta, because my 1965 Mustang impressed him as Close Enough to matching the description of a latemodel Corvette. He didn't like my insurance card [it may have contained big words] and wrote me a ticket I had to talk to a judge about nullifying.
I once had a cop pull me over for failing to wear a seatbelt [before that became something a cop could pull you over for] in my 1974 Buick LeSabre Custom Limited convertible. He was wrong. The 1974 LeSabre came standard with lapbelts invisible from outside the car. That criminal decided that he smelled alcohol, pulling me out of my car to search it. Of course, when I say my car, I technically mean Dad's car—Dad having been an attorney who—later, and without anger—calmly destroyed that moron for assaulting me under suspicion of driving in the eighties with long hair.
I've had a problem with bullies impersonating cops for a while now.
Where Wilson is concerned: I don't know whether he's a bully impersonating a cop. I suppose we'll find out, eventually—presumably sometime after the guy who shot up a cinema here in Aurora in 2012 finally gets to trial. Whatever the outcome, I doubt it'll make the headlines; I'll probably hafta watch for tiny articles buried far beneath the lead—whatever plane has gone missing in 2019, I'd guess.
As for Sunil Dutta, Professor of Homeland Security [that's a thing?] at Colorado Tech University: I think I've seen enough. His written confession to conspiracy to assault those who walk aggressively [seriously: grab a copy of Poser and show me the kinaesthetics of aggressive ambulation; I have no idea what that is] assures me that he's another bully impersonating a cop. Or not, if he's teaching Homeland Security in Colorado Springs now. Those, who can't assault with a deadly weapon, teach.
So, here's my open letter to the police. Really, to the sum total of the Executive Branch: cops, agents, soldiers, and whatever else has been pulled into this governmental sector.
Dear Executive Branch:
Gremlin here. You may remember me as the guy who redesigned the [redacted] at [redacted] for you in 1993 [and good job somehow not nuking everyone before I fixed that]; you could also vet me through a few O6 paygrades in both the army and the airforce. In short: ask around.
As Officer Taxbase, Ret., has brought your misunderstanding of our relationship to my attention, I'd like to set the record straight.
As I live primarily in the United States, I am not strictly described by the legal status of Royal Subject. I am in point of fact a sovereign entity operating within the US without applicable nationality; I don't take orders from you: you're not my supervisor.
Therefore, Officer Taxbase's meaningless commands that I walk without aggression in his presence, under colour of authority [see USCode 18 242], presents us with a problem.
To give you the benefit of the doubt—that Officer DoNotChallengeMe was operating independently and without governmental pervue—I would submit his opinion as disseminated in the Washington Post for review, as it violates a number of local, state, and federal laws prohibiting the issue of threats as a means to coerce the behaviour of a victim—including but not limited to the attempted extortion of ransom, reward, or other thing of value [exempli gratia: time lost; opportunity missed; et cetera] and which carry penalties of imprisonment for up to twenty years. I assume you can handle arresting him for it.
If, in the unfortunate event that you as the Executive Branch support Officer WalkyArbiter's assertions that I, and the public at large, should—and I quote—'just do what I tell you [if you don't want to get shot, (electrocuted), pepper-sprayed, struck with a baton(,) or thrown to the ground]', then I bid thee: bite me. For, as the least powerful of the Three Branches of American Government—sworn only to uphold the laws passed by the Legislative Branch and to defer to the Opinions of the Judicial Branch, insofar as activities upon American Soil [see Posse Comitatus] are concerned—you lack by definition the authority to command my actions or omission of actions; threatening to kill me if I don't do what you tell me is at best hilarious and at worst an act of treason.
I trust that this letter will find my Representative Republic well, and advise you accordingly to redress my grievance; meanwhile, I'll be on my skateboard in the middle of the street as per Colorado Law 42-4-1412, Paragraph 5a inclusive.
Your Superior,
Duly SelfAppointed Representative of We the People

Ninth show for hospice raises £70k
9:10am Friday 8th February 2013 in News
TWO nights of comedy and music have drawn to a close – and raised in the region of £70,000 for Helen and Douglas House.
Childish Things was back at Oxford's New Theatre for a ninth year on Tuesday and Wednesday, boasting a line up including comedians Rob Brydon and Al Murray.
Fundraisers Lizzie Pickering and Kate Day organised the two almost sell-out nights at the theatre in George Street.
Ms Pickering said: "My own son Harry died at Helen House and I know what a difference that money makes because it is mainly going on one-to-one care. "£70,000 will make a huge difference to help pay for that."
Harry, who had muscle-wasting disease Spinal Muscular Atrophy, died aged six in November 2000.
Helen House, the world's first children's hospice, opened in East Oxford in 1982 and Douglas House, for young adults, opened in 2004.
Tickets for next year's Childish Things on Monday, March 24 and Tuesday, March 25, at New Theatre Oxford have already gone on sale.
Tickets start at £25. To book visit atgtickets.com/shows/childish-things-10/new-theatre-oxford/

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Metro police have arrested the alleged shotgun-wielding robber who held up a Donelson Pike beer and tobacco shop Sunday evening and a Joelton convenience store Monday night.
Jeffery Halstead, 30, is jailed on a variety of charges including aggravated burglary, vehicle theft, felony theft, felony vandalism and felony drug charges.
He was arrested late Monday night after an officer spotted a stolen pickup truck at a convenience store on North Gallatin Pike.
During an interview with detectives, Halstead admitted to Sunday's robbery of Donelson Pike Tobacco and Ale and Monday night's robbery of Chip's Quik Stop located at 7250 Whites Creek Pike.
In both robberies, the weapon used was a shotgun. A shotgun was recovered from the stolen truck's front seat.
In addition to the robberies and truck theft, Halstead is charged with aggravated burglary, theft and vandalism in relation to a home break-in on Timberway Drive in Donelson on November 29, and felony possession of Hydrocodone and cocaine.

I let it go for a couple of years as I didn't want to go through the hassle of a notary. And quite frankly I didn't think it would be worth the hassle. But having just recently been unemployed, I thought what the heck, so I filled out the form that was on the website and sent it in. I was expecting a letter telling me what it was and how to get it but instead I received a check. This was great as my air conditioner had just quit working and I didn't know how I was going to pay for the repair. The check paid for most of it. I have no idea where the money came from and it would be nice to know. But I am glad that it was there and that it didn't have a time limit to claim. Thank you."
7/7/13 feedback... "55$ paycheck from over 10 years ago that was the last thing i ever expected showed in the mail as unclaimed. so i followed up and it was real and i got my money from 1996. thats a tank of gas for something completely forgotten about for so many years."

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., September 26, 2006 - Springfield College sophomore Caitlin Mulroy (Syracuse, N.Y.) compiled a team-best 28 assists to go along with 16 digs, two kills and one service ace, but it was the host Engineers of MIT which defeated the Pride, 3-0, this evening in New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) action.
The first frame of the match was extremely competitive, as MIT (16-1, 4-0) barely edged the Pride by a 30-26 margin after SC led early in the game, 10-5. The Engineers then proved to be too much for SC in the final two games, winning by scores of 30-16 and 30-15. With the loss, the Pride drops to 13-3 overall and 3-1 in the NEWMAC standings.
Senior libero Leah Hettrick (Meriden, Conn.) recorded a team-high 18 digs in the loss. Seniors Kathryn Becker (Albuquerque, N.M.) and Nicole Curtin (Beacon, N.Y.) registered team-bests in the kills department with just five apiece.
Next on SC's schedule is a trip to New London, Conn., to take on Coast Guard (8-2, 3-1) in a conference match-up. The contest against Coast Guard is an important match for the Pride since the two teams currently hold a three-way tie with Clark University (9-2, 3-1) and Wellesley College (5-3, 3-1) for second place in the NEWMAC.

I am going to have Smart Lipo on my flanks, however, I questioned whether an area of my back is still considered part of the flank or a bra-line. I, mistakenly, wore my bra too low for years due to attempting to cover up the original bra line. A 2nd roll appeared, due to this and pregnancy. It is technically the top of my flank, right at the bottom of the ribs, a good 2 inches below my shoulder blades. I have since corrected how I wear my bra, but that extra roll still exists. I have a consultation with the surgeon next week, but the manager believes it would be considered a separate area to treat, but wants the surgeon to look at it. I disagree because of pure anonatomy and the fact that the roll goes right down my flank on the sides as well.This will double the price on the procedure if they flag it as the bra line and not the flank. In the industry, what area do they consider to be a normal flank region?
What Area is Considered to Be a Normal Flank Region?
Doctor Answers (11)
Flank vs upper back roll
The flank usually refers to hip rolls and not upper back or bra rolls. Either way, you should talk to your surgeon and work something out to have it treated if that is waht bothers you.
Communication with your Plastic Surgeon is the key to great results
Hello SGBsMom, Liposuction is an excellent way to contour these troublesome areas. I prefer tumescent or ultrasonically assisted liposuction (UAL) for these regions. Although the flank and bras strap area are not strictly anatomical terms, most physicians make a distinction when it comes to liposuction. It is preferable to treat regions (bra strap area, back, flanks) rather than to spot treat areas (flanks). This gives a much more balanced and harmonious appearance. I generally blend in areas, such as the flanks and bra strap area and back, but if full correction is requested this is considered a separate area. At the time of your consultation visit, discuss your goals and together, you and your surgeon can put together a treatment plan. The number of areas, as well as the financial policy should be clarified at the time of your consultation. I would recommend treating all of the areas which you are concerned with at the time of surgery, rather than risk being disappointed and having to undergo another procedure. Be well, Andrew Lyos, M.D.,FACS
The flank is a common area for liposuction
Most surgeons consider the flanks to be the area of the lower back below the rib-cage and down to the iliac crest; this area is commonly referred to as "love handles". I would consider upper back rolls or back fat to be a separate area and would not be included in treatment of the flank.s Typically this would be considered a second area of treatment and can be safely performed at the same time as the flanks, but it does require additional incisions and additional time for the surgeon to complete. Both areas respond very well to liposuction. I currently prefer to use SmartLipo Triplex because of the quicker recovery, less bruising and swelling, additional skin tightening, and patients are more comfortable after the procedure. If you really want both areas treated, it is much more cost effective to have both areas treated at the same time and should not double your cost. Good luck to you.

Liposuction of the flanks
Liposuction is a safe, popular, and effective way to contour the body. The area of the flanks is the area on the side of the abdomen usually from the waist up to just below your bra. This area to be treated very effectively with liposuction.
The flank is not a medical term
It is important to have clear communication with your surgeon and the surgeons office. A flank is somewhat in the eye of the beholder. Generally, I consider the flank as the area roughly between the lower ribs and the top of the hips. It is where the hour glass shape should live at the waist.
Typically, we include in this zone the fat that extends from this area toward the spine to help fully shape the waist. Now, I would have absolutely no disagreement if another doctor wanted to define the area somewhat differently because the term is not a technical medical term with an agreed upon definition.
The areas you are interested in having additional liposuction overlies the large latissimus dorsi muscle. Honestly, this is an other quite large area with very fibrous fat which requires a greatly deal of effort on the part of the doctor to make a nice difference. I think it is very reasonable if your surgeon and his office consider this an entirely separate area. For some doctors, this is considered quite separate from the "flank."
So again, my advice is to talk with you doctor but don't be surprised if this issue is considered outside of the flank. However, generally the incremental cost to have an additional area done is reasonable and if it bothers you, I encourage you to have this addressed at the time of your liposuction.
In laser liposuction, the flank is the waist area above the hip bone, not the bra area
Dear SGBsMom,
The flank is usually considered the area of the waist just below the rib cage down to the top of the hip bone. It is very close to the area of skin just below the breast.
Most surgeons do consider the "roll" beneath the bra a separate area, often called the "bannana roll."
Laser liposuction of the back and area beneath the bra adds significant time to the laser liposuction procedure-your body has to be turned and repositioned, and the back tissues are harder to treat. The extra time and effort involved increases the cost of laser liposuction which includes anesthesia, or room use, nurses, and surgeons time.
In my practice we have a base fee for laser liposuction of one area, say the abdomen.
We then add a reduced fee for each additional area. Two areas should not cost twice as much as one area, in my opinion.
Focus on getting the treatment you want, not the names used for areas
At the end of this experience, you want the body contour improvements. Your doctor's office staff is probably trying to do its best advising you over the phone, but you should get your answers when you actually see the doctor in the exam room.
After you communicate what you would like done, he or she will discuss how they feel you can best reach those goals. They will estimate the time and other resources involved and give you a cost estimate. The names of areas aren't really important. Talk to the doctor.
P.S. I agree that you should be sure the doctor is a surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (specifically).
Best of luck.
Know what is included in liposuction procedures
Many doctors try to discuss liposuction in terms of the desired result and use terms such as flank very generally. No one can really say where the abdomen stops and the flank begins, or the flank stops and the back begins. Some surgeons will break up the trunk area into smaller or arbitrary areas to help them with pricing or as means to up sell; start a discussion as a seemingly low cost which is very attractive only to have the cost creep higher as you discuss with them what your goals are.
During your consultation it is best to have the surgeon acknowldge and mark out exactly what the treatment area will be and discuss with you the expected result. look at the cost from the bottom line. The total cost is the cost for what you are seeking. If adding an "area" in order to get the results you hope for places you on top of what you can reasonably afford I feel you should wait until the additional cost is managable to you, or find another surgeon in your geographic area who is more flexible and result oriented.
A surgeon who is result oriented will work within your budget yet go the extra mile or "extra area" because the result will be right for you.
Best of luck.

The area you are describing is not the flank
The area you are describing is not the flank. There is no strict definition for the flanks; however, when it comes to liposuction, the flanks are generally considered the area that you can grab with your hands above your hip bones. Just because you have a roll that goes into the flank area does not mean that this entire area is now considered the flank. In any case, it is up to your surgeon to decide. If you are not happy with their answer, then I would suggest getting a second opinion. However, the area you are describing would likely be considered an additional area by anyone performing liposuction. Good luck with your surgery.
Web reference: http://www.RealPlasticSurgery.com
Flanks are the area just below your waist.
The goal of liposuction in this area to increase the contour of the waistline. The excess fat below the bras sits just above the waistline. This area is actually more difficult to treat than the flanks and is anatomically separate. The fat can be more difficult to get out and you may be left with some loose skin. It is extremely unusual to get loose skin after liposuction of the flanks.

Firefighters at the scene have reported the blaze is affecting three semi-detached houses and two outbuildings.
Updated 3.30pm:
One family has been made homeless by the fire. The Red Cross emergency support service has been called to support them.
Firefighters report they have the fire surrounded and are using four hose reels and a jet to put it out.
Updated 3.50pm:
Firefighters have managed to put out the blaze. An investigation will be carried out to determine the cause.
Updated 4.10pm:
Assistant divisional officer Lee Palfrymen said: "The fire started in one garden and from there spread to the garden next door and a garden at the back. It destroyed four shed type outbuildings and affected three homes.
"One house was affected by fire and the two houses next door suffered heat and smoke damage.
"We were initially called to a garden fire but on arrival crews were faced with a well developed and rapidly spreading blaze. Crews did a good job in preventing this fire from spreading to the two neighbouring houses. This fire had the potential to cause a great deal of damage if crews had not got on top of it as quickly and effectively as they did."

Preseason NFL games are
awful tedious a horrible approximation of a normally-awesome thing important. They've got to get players prepared for everything they may expect during the regular season. During Sunday's game between the New York Jets and the Carolina Panthers, the players decided to practice fighting. It went about as well as everything else in the preseason does.
As you can see, Patrick Turner and Haruki Nakamura got into it a bit before Matt Slauson (No. 68) just shoved Nakamura to the ground. Then everyone hopped around a little bit and Nakamura took off his helmet.
Luckily, the replacement refs aren't familiar with the "can't take off your helmet, bro" rule and Nakamura was not flagged on the play. Everyone probably made up afterward and had Little Debbie cakes or something. I don't know; who cares? It's preseason football.
For more on the Jets and Panthers, please be sure to check out our blogs Gang Green Nation and Cat Scratch Reader, respectively. Also click over to our Football Hub, SB Nation New York and SBNation.com for all the latest news and updates.

If anybody could do it, it's Michelle Williams. Check out the first trailer for My Week with Marilyn, featuring what looks to be a knockout performance by Williams as icon Marilyn Monroe. I'll seeing the film at its gala premiere at the New York Film Festival on Sunday, October 9. Williams is an Oscar perennial, so she should never be counted out of the Best Actress Oscar race.
Anne stop the hype | October 7, 2011 12:14 PM
Anne Thompson, I know you are a huge Michelle Williams fan, so it is obvious you are blinded by your love for Ms. Williams. Michelle did not make me believe she was Marilyn Monroe. Like you say, she is fake . Her Marilyn's speaking voice is fake and her mannerisms of Ms. Monroe are fake. Williams doesn't capture Monroe's charisma nor her magic. Now, Poppy Montgomery pulled -off a good Marilyn Monroe.

Well, I'm not really impressed with the voice, but she wiggles a lot more like Marilyn than I was anticipating!

Oil the most popular subject on the Internet and TV?
Planet Green is hosting a new reality television show themed documentary about the real cost of oil, not at the pumps but what communities that produce oil have to pay out in quality of life to reap the benefits selling oil brings. The eco friendly channel revealed the following details about their new reality TV show names BOOMTOWN slated to air Saturday nights (starting January 29). The eco-friendly show promises to expose the ugly underbelly of the oil baron land holders and the new reality TV celebrities, in that the residents who get rich quick from the discovery of oil struggle with their own leviathan of sacrificing community for the sake of money. In the wake of the BP Gulf Oil Spill and the very real fact that the most researched phrases on the World Wide Web in 2010 were all related to oil spill news (even surpassing searches for Miley Cyrus, Justin Bieber and other celebrity figures like Twilight's Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, and Taylor Lautner), the show promises to reveal far more interesting cultural events that Kate Gosselin appearing on Sarah Palin's Alaska [run by their cable network competition on TLC].
BOOMTOWN is an unconventional case study of how the domestic oil and gas industries are exploring every option here on U.S. soil — but at what cost? In an illustration of what's happening in small towns across America, practically overnight, many of Parshall's residents and landowners are transfromed from ordinary folks into millionaires. But not everyone gets rich quick, and not everyone thinks this new development will end well for the residents of the town.
In the first episode of BOOMTOWN, viewers are introduced to Parshall's mayor and only grocery store owner, Richard, who has struggled for years to keep his store afloat to support his family. He's leased his land to an oil company and it looks like he may become one of the lucky ones. However, for every new millionaire, there's someone who won't benefit at all from the oil boom. Town rancher Donny has wells being drilled all over his property, but he owns only the surface rights to his land, which means he gets the inconvenience, but not the money from the oil. To others, the oil only means more traffic, noise and pollution.
Planet Green says the new TV show BOOMTOWN is, "Set against the stark North Dakota landscape, which, until the discovery of oil, saw the town of Parshall practically vanish off the map."
The site claims the reality television inspired program is historically significant due to the current cultural and political climate. The shows reps say, "With mounting pressure for the United States to find alternative energy sources, BOOMTOWN chronicles the events in Parshall as they unfold over the course of a year, providing viewers with unprecedented access to one of the biggest stories of our time."

Recap | Boxscore
Men's Tennis Falls to UAB, 5-2
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Playing its second match in as many days, the FGCU men's tennis team's attempt to rally from a 3-0 deficit fell just short as the Eagles dropped a 5-2 decision to UAB on Sunday.
The match began with doubles play, as sophomores Jordi Vives (Barcelona, Spain/IES Ferran Tallada/USC) and Tianyu Bao (Tianjin, China/Bayshore HS-FL) evened the doubles score at 1-1 with an 8-5 victory over David Zimmerman and Tom Puetz at the No. 1 spot. Zimmerman and Puetz defeated No. 32 Florida State's top doubles tandem on Saturday.
With the doubles point still up for grabs, sophomore Michael Beiler (Palm Harbor, Fla./Dunedin HS) and junior Gabe Echeverry (Popayan, Colombia/Gimnasio Calibio) locked into a tough match with Rafael Rondino and Luiz Felipe Pinto at the No. 3 slot. The match went into tie-breakers, as Beiler and Echeverry came up just short, 8-7 (5).
The Eagles trailed 3-0 after the Blazers took a pair of singles points at No. 1 and No. 4, but Beiler got some revenge after his tough doubles loss with a straight-set 6-4, 7-5 victory against Lucas Dirube at No. 5 singles.
Each of the three remaining singles matches went three sets, but UAB was able to take two points despite being behind after the first set in two of the three spots. Bao (No. 2) and Echeverry (No. 6) both took the first set of their match, but dropped the final two for the final two UAB points. Junior Dean Tsamas Lexington, Ky./Henry Clay HS) did the opposite, as he fell 6-2 in the first set against Chris Helliar at No. 3 singles, but battled back with a 7-5 win in the second set and a 6-2 edge in the deciding set.
"Today was a disappointing result because we were right there," said head coach C.J. Weber. "We had much better energy today and we'll use that going into tomorrow's match against Florida A&M. It's the beginning of the season, so we always have to look to build each day and each match."
FGCU will end its three-match opening weekend in Tallahassee on Monday when it takes on FAMU at 11 a.m. Fans can get updates on FGCU men's tennis on twitter by following @FGCUMensTennis.
