Le Minh Hieu : Environmentalist hottie from vietnam
Some Asian sites claimed that the boy in the picutre above is Chinese, but then some of their visitors (from vietnam country, of course) had to write comments to disclaim it.
OK, let me confirm once again that the male model is Vietnamese, not Chinese. His name is Le Minh Hieu.
He is the first male model for Seahorse Underwear.
This 23-year-old dude has such a gorgeous body with six-pack abs, hard pecs, lickable nipples and nice bulge.
He may be the hottest Vietnamese underwear male model I've ever seen.He is a student at Ho Chi Minh City University of Industry.
I have some photos of this hunk which are taken by his camera so they're real and no retouch.

Jason Sutherland, the man behind the launch of Ginch Gonch underwear line, has created a new brand of cheeky underwear for men. Piss & Vinegar, British slang for living young at heart is designed for the bold guy who appreciates what life has to offer and works hard to live it to its fullest. The brand playfully asks men "you think you have enough?"; it's a double entendre referring to a guy's fortitude to compete and his ability to fill his briefs. In it's latest campaign, the brand takes on a religious theme introducing "I Love Jesus & Buddha."
Sutherland comments on his choice of religious subject matter saying, "We chose to introduce the 'I Love…' with Jesus and Buddha because whether you subscribe to their doctrines or not, there is no denying that each man became an icon by living his life to the fullest and living it from the heart."
Piss & Vinegar is available now in SHERMAN BOUTIQUE in makati avenue, and select independent retailers and online:

Are you connected to Justin?
Justin Timberlake spotted parading around for the movie "Social Network". Did you add him on Facebook?
Roses are red, violets are blue. Justin is a nerd, we knew that too.
In a good way, of course. Just because you can shake and dance doesn't mean you don't have that quiet side you easily hide under your glasses. Mr. Sean Parker, the co-founder of Napster and ex-president of Facebook up to a cocaine affair, finds his face booked by Justin Timberlake, in David Fincher's (just out) movie; "Social Network". We all know the story, especially because we are probably part of it. We are among the isolated people like Mark Zuckerberg who feel the need to voice their existence to the world. The question we can keep on asking is: how long will we care? One thing is certain, as long as Justin does something - dance, sing, produce, act - we will care.

Over 700 adults have swapped 'summer loving' for 'summer learning', after successfully completing a course at The University of Wales Institute, Cardiff's (UWIC's) Summer School.
The Summer School, which runs from July to the end of August, aims to make higher education much more accessible to a wider range of adults, with courses that could lead to opportunities to continue education and learn new skills, regardless of age, background or experience.
Apart from being entirely free of charge, each student has received a certificate of attendance at the end of the course.
Kay Howells, UWIC's Widening Access Manager said: "These courses are aimed at raising the aspirations and development of those to whom Higher Education seems unreachable.
"It's been about breaking down the barriers and creating pathways and the feedback we've received had been over-whelming, with many students looking forward to future study at UWIC as a result of their experiences," she added.
Held at community centres across Cardiff, the extensive range of courses on offer included Life Drawing, Science of Chocolate, Communication Skills, Ceramics, I.T and Introduction to Anatomy.
Betty Weager aged 60 and a Summer School student said: "The course has been great and I'm now seriously considering further study at UWIC in September to better my career prospects," she added.
Note to editors:
• Participating venues across Cardiff include all four UWIC campuses, St Mellons Enterprise Centre, Gabalfa Community Centre, Eastmoors Community Education Centre, Howardian Centre, Llanedeyrn Community Education Centre, Michaelston Adult Centre, Pentwyn Community Education Centre, Rumney Enterprise Centre, and Severn Road Centre.

This consists of steep and spicy face climbing on traditional gear. No walk in the park, this climb is pumpy and committing from bottom to top. Tricky, balancy climbing with few places for gear leads to an awkward crack higher. Cheeseburger gives you the classic Ophir experience of making hard moves facing a good-sized fall. Some might find it hard not to overgrip, and as such, it's as much of a mental challenge as it is a physical exercise. I'd say 5.10 doesn't get much better than this for quality and experience.

Behavioral Neuroscience approach to investigating the neural substrates of behaviors related to drug and food addiction
The focus of my laboratory is to apply methods of behavioral neuroscience towards the study of drug and food addiction. Using an animal model, we attempt to reveal the neural substrates that underlie the reinforcement and motivational processes that contribute to the seeking and intake of addictive drugs and food. Our research addresses these concerns and questions through an integrative approach of behavioral, pharmacological, and molecular biological techniques.
Interested in joining our laboratory? Undergraduates looking for research experience or prospective graduate students should email Matt Will at email@example.com

CBS 2 - Search Results
Public Schools Charging Some School Fees
IOWA CITY, IA (CBS 2/FOX 28)--As we count down the days until school begins for most students here in the corridor many parents are wrapping up "back-to-school" shopping for their kids supplies.
Even though the shopping is ending, the spending may not be.
The reason is fees. One high school outside of Iowa requires their students to buy 600 dollar computers.
The state does allow districts to charge certain fees in public schools, but as many parents will tell you, they just seem to be getting more expensive every year.
Jerry Mendoza has four sons in elementary school and says he worries about their school fees.
"You do have to pay these fees for pictures and meals and traveling and other expenses and I think it just kind of builds up," he said.
The fees are something public school parents in many districts are seeing more of every year.
In Iowa City, for example elementary school parents can be charged $20 to rent text books, another 25 to rent an instrument.
In high school it's $60 for a text book, $5 for an id card, $90 for a year book, and if your child want to get into an advanced placement class for college, it's $89 per class test.
"I know other states that have athletic programs, they have to pay to play and that's just not right," said Tim Linder who's a former teacher.
Iowa is not a pay to play state, but summer camps for sports like football do cost extra.
"Any student that wants to participate in an athletic program or an extracurricular activity of some kind there's not an additional charge for those times of things," said Craig Hansel, Iowa City Community School District chief financial officer."
Iowa only allows its schools to charge for fees in seven categories-like textbooks, lunches, transportation and specialty equipment
"I really like the restrictive nature of what our schools can charge out students and I think it makes it more accessible and more affordable to more students," Hansel said.
The state does offer total fee waivers and reduced fee waivers for parents who just can't avoid the fees.

Time running out for £64m winner
11:42am Wednesday 28th November 2012 in National News © Press Association 2014
One lucky Lottery winner is sitting on a pot of gold - and has just one week left to cash in the EuroMillions ticket, which is worth £63,837,543.60.
If the prize is not claimed by 11pm next Wednesday December 5, the ticket, which was bought in the Stevenage and Hitchin area for the EuroMillions draw on Friday June 8, will expire.
The all-important numbers on that date were 5, 11, 22, 34, 40 and the Lucky Star numbers were 9 and 11. The missing ticket-holder matched all five main numbers and both Lucky Star numbers.
If nobody comes forward to claim the prize, the money, plus all the interest it has generated, will go to the National Lottery Good Causes - adding to the £29 billion already raised through sales of lottery tickets since the National Lottery launched in November 1994.
With the deadline fast approaching, the National Lottery has appealed to all lottery players to check their tickets to see if they are the mystery prizewinner.
A National Lottery spokesman said: "Whilst we've done a huge amount of activity to raise awareness of the prize, and we're using the ad vans this week to make sure as many people as possible get the message again, we're still waiting to pay the money out to the rightful ticket-holder.
"We're desperate to find this mystery ticket-holder and unite them with their winnings. This amazing prize would be a fabulous early Christmas present."
Advertising vans displaying important information will be touring Stevenage and Hitchin this week, while retailers will be displaying posters up until the last minute to remind their lottery-playing customers to check their tickets.
The National Lottery has already been raising awareness using a town crier in a Lamborghini and visiting Luton airport to remind those returning from holiday to check their tickets.
Anyone who believes they have the winning ticket for any of the draws within the 180-day deadline should call the National Lottery Line on 0845 910 0000.

Brian was born and raised in Toronto, OH, a small town on the Ohio River. After graduating from Kent State University (1984) and Akron Law School (1987), he settled in Canton, OH, and has been a practicing personal injury attorney in Canton, Stark County, and Northeast Ohio since 1988.
Brian has litigated and tried cases to juries in numerous counties throughout Ohio, and has argued cases in numerous Courts of Appeal. Twice he has argued cases in The Ohio Supreme Court as well.
He has written numerous articles on various Ohio personal injury legal topics that have been published in Ohio Lawyer and Ohio Trial magazines. He has also written articles on Ohio medical malpractice issues on more than one occasion for the Ophthalmology Management Journal, as well as The Akron Beacon Journal and The Canton Repository. For well over a decade, he has lectured and taught legal seminar topics for various local lawyers' organizations such as The Ohio Association For Justice, The Stark County Association For Justice, The Stark County Bar Association, and The Mahoning-Trumbull Trial Lawyers' Association.
On two occasions, Brian has testified before The Ohio Legislature to oppose laws restricting Ohio personal injury victims' access to the courts.
Every year since 2007, Brian has been chosen as an Ohio "Superlawyer" by Ohio Superlawyer Magazine, an honor bestowed upon less than five percent of Ohio attorneys each year. In 2009, Brian received a Distinguished Service Award from The Ohio Association Of Justice. Brian lives in North Canton with his wife Jodi and children. He was active for years as a coach with the North Canton Little League and the North Canton YMCA. As for hobbies, Brian's passion is fishing, particularly for walleye, and spends as much time on the water as he can. He also loves vegetable gardening and canning. He also admits to being a poor golfer!
Other than time away due to university studies (Ohio University, 1980, and Capital University, 1984), Rick Nicodemo has resided in Stark County, Ohio, his entire life. He began his legal career in 1984 with an eight year term in the Stark County Prosecutor's office, where he was lead counsel in over 100 felony jury trials, including 4 capital murder cases. When he left the Prosecutor's office in 1995, he brought with him extensive litigation experience as well as a heartfelt desire to represent the various legal needs of individuals and their families.
Although Rick's larger cases have brought him some notoriety, for over two decades he has represented countless clients in various areas of practice, including automobile crashes, product liability, and medical malpractice; small business creation and litigation, wills, trusts and estates, personal bankruptcy, and criminal defense.
Rick's professional and community service are as important to him as his work inside the office and courtroom. In addition to several years as an undergraduate law instructor at a local college and university, he has been recognized for his pro bono work for local senior citizens, has served and chaired numerous Bar Association committees and remains actively committed to many local non-profit groups and charities.
If you've been in a collision, you've probably already received dozens of "solicitation" letters, a few slick videos, a copy of your accident report, and unfortunately, more than a few phone calls. None of these "practices" will bear our names, and for good reason: we believe they are offensive and an invasion of your privacy. In short, we believe that these tasteless pitches have done more harm to the perception and reputation of legal profession than anything else. In fact, as members of the Stark County Academy For Justice (formerly The Stark County Academy of Trial Lawyers), we fought for a proposed statewide 30 day ban on sending such letters after an accident. Unfortunately, our efforts failed, so those who choose to engage in these practices continue to do so with more fervor than ever.
That, of course, is their right. And we reserve the right as well to speak out against it, and call it what it is.
After over twenty years of practicing personal injury litigation throughout Ohio, we believe that our best work rests not in the form of mass mailings, but in more weighty things like competence, trust, and satisfied clients.
"Brian, you were awesome. I can't imagine changing anything! You were most informative, explained so that I could understand, helpful in more ways than I could have imagined. I only wish I had come to you first! I have already shared your name and will continue to do so. Your firm is top notch--very professional and yet caring--not everyone has that area of expertise..."
"Rick, everything was handled excellent and explained to me in great detail--great service!"
"I had no idea what to expect with my claim. And I was treated with respect. Never felt as if I asked anything stupid. I feel as if I made a new friend."
"...We are so pleased with the way you've handled our case!"
"We are very happy with the services received by Atty Wilson and staff. We don't feel he could have done more to get us a better deal on our settlement. Everyone is very personable and thorough in all matters. We think we were advised correctly and all was done with the best of our benefits in mind..."
This book will show you all the mistakes the insurance company is just waiting for you to make if you've been in an Ohio car, motorcycle, or truck accident or collision.
Your "Full Coverage" auto policy won't protect you in an accident, and we can prove it. Over 90% of all ohioans have lousy "Full Coverage insurance" and don't even know it--until AFTER they're hit by a drunk driver or a driver with little or no insurance.
And they have NOTHING to do with so called "frivolous lawsuits."
This free report will make your next medical encounter a safer one.
These patient safety tips came from actual malpractice cases we've handled.

The Alabama High School Athletics Association continues to investigate a fistfight between Cullman and Walker football coaches that left one of the involved parties on administrative leave.
The AHSAA expressed sadness and disappointment in the actions of the parties involved in the fight.
"The AHSAA is always disappointed by any unsportsmanlike incident that involves players or coaches from our member schools. Our coaches are teachers first, and must demonstrate examples of good sportsmanship at all times.
"We truly understand the passions that are involved in competitive athletics, but we can never allow those passions to cross the line and become unsportsmanlike in nature," AHSAA Executive Director Steve Savarese said in a statement today.
"This is an isolated incident, and is not indicative of the good sportsmanship demonstrated by the more than 10,000 coaches in our state each day," he reiterated.
The AHSAA will continue to investigate the incident and will release their findings to the involved schools.

New label law shakes up U.S. meat industry
April 13, 2009
A new food labeling law designed to help consumers threatens small farm businesses, reports Reuters. The law, called COOL, was implemented last month and requires that labels on supermarket packages of meat and other foods list all the countries where the food came from. To better comply and to avoid stiff fines for labeling mistakes, U.S. beef and pork companies are either refusing or are segregating cattle and hogs born outside of the United States. The law has angered Canada and Mexico because, they say, it will hurt demand for their cattle and hogs. It has raised talk of a trade war among the three countries. This has reduced markets for U.S. producers, as well as for producers in Canada and Mexico, leaving them with only a few places to ship. COOL stands for Country-of-Origin-Labeling and applies to packages of fresh beef, pork, lamb, goat and chicken. Livestock producers and industry experts claim consumers will not care and that the extra cost and handling will hurt the meat industry. Plus, price, not country of origin, will guide purchasing decisions, they said. Consumer groups say it is too early to determine if consumers have a preference for U.S.-only foods. Beef and pork companies have been most affected by the law because they buy cattle and hogs from producers, who in turn may have bought them from someone else including Canadians or Mexicans, so paperwork is needed to assure country of origin. U.S. chicken companies own their chickens from the eggs to the meat case, so compliance has been fairly easy. Historically, the United States has been an important market for Canadian cattle and hogs and Mexican cattle, as the animals are fattened here and slaughtered in U.S. meat plants. Many businessmen worry the two countries, both important markets for U.S. goods including meat, will retaliate with tariffs or other action. Canada and Mexico have both taken their cases regarding restrictions brought on by COOL to the World Trade Organization.

The next big star could come out of West Texas. Hundreds of youngsters answered an open casting call in Seminole Saturday afternoon, for a leading role in an upcoming, Hollywood film.
Several kids came out to Seminole hoping to become the next big star, and while we can tell you a lot about the casting process, we can't tell you very much about the movie. That's because, even the casting crew doesn't know that much about it.
"I never thought I'd get the chance," Travis Teague from Lubbock said.
Teague spoke with NewsChannel 11 after his interview with casting members from Francine Maisler Casting Agency. He says they asked a lot of questions about what he likes to do, his interests, and hobbies.
"I'm nervous, yes," Devin Back from Lubbock said.
"I did one play at my school," Kenten Lowrie from Keller said.
Back and Lowrie were still waiting for their interviews when they spoke with NewsChannel 11.
"We've been going around to the smaller towns in Texas, looking for kids who've maybe had a less urban upbringing and have been raised out in some of these beautiful towns out here in west Texas," casting intern Alec Jhangiani said.
Jhangiani says the interviews are like having a conversation with someone you've just met, making small talk and getting to know the boys' personalities.
The casting called for boys ages 10 to 14. Those auditioning will be considered for leading roles in a major Hollywood film, but nobody really knows what it's about, not even the casting crew.
"We're not privy to information on what the movie is about or why exactly they're looking for that type of kid," Jhangiani said.
Those auditioning have their own ideas.
"Aliens," Back said.
Everyone had plenty of time to think about it, too.
"I've just been waiting," Lowrie said.
Whether tapping their toe...
"We're still waiting," Ethan Mullins from Meadow said.
Fiddling with paper...
"It was quite a while, maybe 30 to 45 minutes," Teague said.
Or playing a game...
"Two hours," Lowrie said.
With so many people to interview, this wasn't a quick trip, but cast or not, these guys say the experience is worth it.
"I just wanted to have the experience and try it, and if it doesn't work, I'm okay with it," Teague said.
What we can tell you about the movie is that it's expected to be filmed in Central Texas and producers do want a Texan to fill a major role.
We've also learned that the filmmakers have been nominated for Academy Awards and have produced several films that are Critically Acclaimed.
Crews have been casting across Texas since August 2006, but they say things are wrapping up now, and call backs should start soon.

The three basic ways to get information about your customers: looking, asking, and buying.
In 2001, when I was early in my career as an email marketer, I had a meaningful dialogue with a database marketing expert. This gentleman, let's call him Ted, shared that there are three basic ways we learn about our customers. We look, ask, or buy. And they follow that order in terms of importance and value.
Data From Looking
Looking at a customer's behavior across you brand's various touch points is the one of the most valuable sources of data you have to estimate future buying interests and patterns. There are numerous ways you can gather this data. For example, you can observe a customer's browsing behaviors through website analytics to gauge their interests, or you can monitor responses to your email campaigns using real-time response data gathered from your email marketing technology. You can (and should) also analyze purchase data and recognize any seasonal trends or spikes (birthdays, holidays, etc.). Behavioral data obtained by "looking" is very powerful, because you get data on what your customers actually do versus what they say they do, which leads us to the next way: asking.
Data From Asking
Supplementing your behavioral data with preference data obtained by asking your customers about their interests is a smart idea. That's because for all the strengths of "looking," this method also has some weaknesses. For example, you may see that a customer recently bought some baby clothes, so on the surface, it would seem that following through with a series of offers on new baby merchandise would be the right move. However, it's also quite likely that this was purchased as a gift for someone else. If you had recently asked them about what products they were interested in, and baby/kids was nowhere on the list, you could pair that data with frequency of purchases from that category to make an assessment on what offers to send in the future. There are a number of ways to "ask" customers to provide this information, such as registration pages, preference centers, or surveys. Of course, you need to gauge how much you ask by the method of collection. Bombarding a customer with 20 questions at registration might be a little overboard for your target customer, but asking a few key questions and then following through with a survey a few weeks later (after they've bonded with your brand), might be a better approach.
Data From Buying
The third option is to purchase customer data. It's fairly easy to buy demographic and psychographic data on your customers from data aggregators like Infogroup or Acxiom. However, there are risks with this method. You need to make sure that you fully understand how the data was collected and how recent it is. The last thing you want to do is to introduce bad data into your customer records. You also need to understand the level of data you can acquire (and use) without freaking out your customers. If they've never told you March 1 is their anniversary, and you send them an offer, it might make them confused or suspicious about your brand. Buying data is the most risky method, so make sure you fully understand the potential hazards before you proceed.
Behavioral Data Is King
While all customer data has value and allows the email marketer to be relevant when communicating, the most telling data is the behavior data.
Let me show you what I mean. If you're a wine merchant, you might ask me if I prefer red or white wine - and my quick response would be red! However, if you monitored my buying behavior, you would notice that I buy white wine two out of three times. This is just one reason why looking is better than asking. Another reason is that your fill rate by asking may be very low. An average preference center has a 2 percent fill rate on any iteratively profiled fields.
Knowing that website, email, and buying behavior are the most important attributes on a consumer, it's no surprise that shopping cart abandonment, purchase confirmation, win-back campaigns, and newsletters personalized to the consumers' behaviors are clear outperformers.
Ted was right in 2001 and 2011. Happy Holidays!

The No. 2 Syracuse Orange pulled off a comeback victory over the South Florida Bulls on Wednesday with a 56-48 victory. Scoop Jardine fueled the effort with 15 points on 6-of-10 shooting.
The Orange trailed the Bulls by 13 points with nine minutes left in the first half, but a 17-0 run to close out the half had them up 24-20 at the break. That run extended with another nine unanswered points to start the second half. South Florida was able to close the gap to just one point, 47-46, before allowing a 9-2 run that sealed matters for the Orange.
Syracuse's Kris Joseph finished with 12 points and nine rebounds while C.J. Fair added 13 points, six rebounds and five steals off the bench. South Florida's Anthony Collins posted a double-double with 12 points and 10 assists in a losing effort, but he also turned the ball over eight times in the contest.
Syracuse will play the Connecticut Huskies on Saturday evening.

Woman to appear in court in connection with death of man 25 years agoFriday 11 January 2013 11.47
A 57-year-old woman is to appear in court in Dublin tomorrow charged in connection with the violent death of a man in Dublin 25 years ago.
Father of two Christopher Payne died in hospital six months after he was attacked at his home in Crumlin, Dublin in 1988 by a group of men armed with a hatchet.
Two men were jailed in 1989 for their role in the attack.
Another woman is currently before the courts in connection with the case.
Mr Payne was attacked at his home in Rutland Grove in May 1988.
The 52-year-old father of two, who suffered from a chronic kidney ailment, was treated in hospital for serious head injuries but never recovered and died six months later in November 1988.
The 57-year-old woman had been questioned at the time but was released without charge and moved abroad.
The Serious Crime Review Team, along with detectives from Sundrive Road, reviewed the investigation in recent years and the DPP directed the woman, who lives in Birmingham in the UK, be charged in connection with the attack.
A European Arrest Warrant was issued and gardaí escorted the woman back to Dublin tonight after she lost her appeal against extradition.
She has been charged with assault with intent to murder Mr Payne.
The woman is being detained at Sundrive Road Garda Station pending her appearance before Dublin District Court tomorrow morning.

For example, if the driver has previous DUI convictions, in some states, additional drunk driving charges can be brought as felony charges. Also, if someone is killed or injured by the drunken driver, felony charges can be filed in most states.
Drunk driving laws vary from state to state, but most all states now have passed laws that enhance DUI sentences under some circumstances. To find out if your DUI charges might be enhanced, take the Drunk Driving Enhancement Quiz.

Police released dash cam video of Wednesday's carjacking that began at an ice stand at 34th and Quaker and ended with police arresting the 14-year-old car thief.
The video begins at the Sonic on 50th and Slide and shows a wild chase heading North on Slide as the teenage driver runs red lights, swerves between lanes and eventually comes to a stop near the city bank parkway where he was eventually captured.
For the victim of that carjacking, 71-year-old Beth Turner, it was a scary few minutes.
"I was going to get some water and I pulled into the front of the little station where you get it and when I pulled up this young kid walked past my car and I thought what is he looking in my car for," she said. "He walked away up towards the buildings and walked completely away so I didn't think anything more about it. Then he started towards me and jumped in my car."
Turner was never more than 8 feet from her car and grabbed onto the door as the teenager jumped into the driver seat and started to drive away. She was pushed back as he took off, hitting the back of her head on the cement, and screaming for help as the teen pulled away with her car, purse and groceries in the back.
"People came out and dialed 911 so by the time he left with my car police had already been called and were on their way. I felt very lucky because the way it happened he could've hit me with the car. I have a nasty bump on my head and it's better and my knees a little stiff today but I feel like I was fortunate," said Beth.
She added that you never realize how vulnerable you are until an event like this happens and she will always remember to take precautions from now on.
"I will never again get out of my car unless the keys are in my pocket," she said. "I would also say always go with your instincts and just because someone looks very young don't think that there can't be some dangers there."

I like to watch his hands as he works, making a blank page bloom with strokes of ink, adding touches of color to our previously black and yellowish book.
His face takes on a special look when he concentrates. His usual easy expression is replaced by something more intense and removed that suggests an entire world locked away inside him. […]
I also become a little fixated on his eyelashes, which ordinarily you don't notice much because they're so blond. But up close, in the sunlight slanting in from the window, they're a light golden color and so long I don't see how they keep from getting all tangled up when he blinks.
One afternoon Peeta stops shading a blossom and looks up so suddenly that I start, as though I were caught spying on him, which in a strange way maybe I was.

Will finger-printing people in the streets help improve the relationship between the Met and London's black community?
The Commissioner, Bernard Hogan-Howe, vowed today the force will become an "implacable enemy" of racists as investigations continue into officers accused of racial abuse.
The Met's policy of 'Stop-and-search' has often left officers open to criti-cism so instead they may now ask suspects for fingerprints before they search them.
But is that any better? Here's Glen Goodman's report.

I didn't grow up eating mint jelly with lamb, or in fact any sweet with meat save "Chinese sweet-and-sour". My mother did make stuffed cabbage, filled with chopped meat, and baked in a tomato sauce sprinkled with raisins, but as a child I had a great fear of turgid raisins, and indeed I still do...
As an adult, I love the combination of meat with fruit in medieval foods, come down to us in these times as the vestigial "meat" in mincemeat, which I liked very much the memorable time I was served some at a New England holiday dinner. But to return to the herbal jelly...
The process here was rather lengthy: boil the apples with some herbs, then strain out the flavorful juice. I strained the juice twice: once when finished cooking the apple herb mixture, and again after the cloudy juice had cooled overnight, and that worked well to give a completely transparent result.
The herbs I used were all from my own yard, and I didn't use quite as much as the original recipe called for. The resulting jelly is quite lovely to look at, a clear pinky golden, with flecks of herbs suspended. It tastes just as you'd expect, sweet and herbal and slightly tangy. It was very good with the roasted chicken legs yesterday suppertime, I'm curious how it would be with with lamb, and I think it would be delightful with cream cheese on toast, for an afternoon teatime treat.

(Francoise's Garden Herb Jelly, adapted)
(Francoise's Garden Herb Jelly, adapted)
1 lb cooking apples
½ pt cider vinegar
2 pt water
herbs to simmer with apples
½ pt cider vinegar
2 pt water
herbs to simmer with apples
6 largeish parsley sprigs, the same of peppermint
a few sprigs of thyme, winter savory, sage, and rosemary
a few sprigs of thyme, winter savory, sage, and rosemary
granulated sugar, 1 lb for every pint of extracted juice
herbs to stir into jelly - total, very finely chopped, about 2 T
4 parsley sprigs
8 mint sprigs
a mixed handful of thyme, sage, and rosemary
8 mint sprigs
a mixed handful of thyme, sage, and rosemary
Wash apples, remove stems and blossom end bits, and chop to bits (including peel and core). Add water and herbs and bring to a boil and simmer gently for a half hour or until apples are very soft.
Stir in the vinegar and boil hard for five minutes.
Strain the cooked fruit through muslin or a jelly bag, hang it up so it can drip into another container overnight. For clear jelly do not squeeze the jelly bag. I let it drip into a big measuring cup, which made it easy to see how much juice I had.
For every pint of juice, use a pound of sugar. Heat the juice and sugar gradually till the sugar dissolves, and then boil till it reaches the set point.
Remove from heat and let the jelly cool just a little, for about ten minutes. Then stir the finely chopped herbs into the jelly, funnel the jelly into canning jars and hot water process for ten minutes. Let cool overnight on the counter, then label and store in a cool dark place. (My whole house is cool and dark, except in the summer) The recipe made three half pint jars, and about a tablespoon left over. It set very firmly with only the natural pectin in the apples, though it took almost a half hour to get the jelly to the set point, which I tested with the cold saucer method.

He's been dubbed a high-risk sex offender by the Vermont Department of Corrections. And since Timothy Szad's release from prison a week and a half ago, he's been struggling to find a place to live.
Szad returned to Vermont from California Sunday. He spent a few days in a Colchester hotel, and now we've learned the 53-year-old has moved to Hyde Park.
Szad updated his address with the Vermont Sex Offender Registry Tuesday afternoon, listing Hyde Park as his new home. Prior to the convicted sex offender's release from prison July 26, corrections officials warned the public the ex-con could reoffend and his likely targets would be blonde, teenage boys he didn't know.
Lamoille County Sheriff Roger Marcoux confirmed the move and said a reverend helping Szad relocate reached out to him Tuesday afternoon. But Sheriff Marcoux has concerns about the man moving in.
Sheriff Roger Marcoux: I'm concerned that it doesn't happen again. People are going to be concerned for their safety and the safety of their children and what have you, so that's going to be the big thing we've got to look at.
Reporter Jennifer Reading: How do you think that your community will react to this news?
Sheriff Roger Marcoux: I don't know. I'm going to be notifying some of the leaders in the community that I work with to tell them. I was surprised when I heard about it and I'm sure they will be, too, if they haven't heard about it already. There's really nothing we can do to prevent people that are acting within the law. We can't prevent them from living in the area. You know, everybody calm head and just work with the community leaders if they've got issues about this.
The sheriff is scheduled to meet Wednesday morning with Szad, the reverend and the homeowner who's agreed to house Szad. Marcoux says he is not sure what Szad's connection to Hyde Park is at this point and he's hoping to learn more about the situation by Wednesday.

I was hoping one of the Admins was going to do an article on basketball but I guess they are busy so I will summarize some of the developments that occured this week.
1) As documented by LetsgotoBentleys the Prince was on campus this week. For those who dont know he is from Texas and a legitimate 4 star top 60 player in the class of 2012. Here is some info that I have gathered on him. SICK DUNKS. I dont know who #1 is in black but I want the kid. The reverse alley-oop is just plain filthy.
2) Not only was Prince on campus so was Rodney Bullock who is a rising Junior (2013). Here is the article reporting it and here is ESPN's eval on him. He is from Hampton VA and is currently ranked an 88 overall and the #34 PF. It's still VERY early and the MD article makes it seem as if he will naturally transfer from PF to a 6-9 SF. YES PLEASE!
3) FSU gains one and loses another for 2011. They lost Aaron Thomas the #71 player in the country for 2011. A SG who was ranked a 94 overall. Thomas will be headed to Brewster Academy to play with none other than Mitch McGary. Ty Warren of 2012 will also head to Brewster and they should form whats known as the big 3 of high school basketball. Back to FSU, they landed Jeff Peterson who will have one year of eligibility left. Peterson attended DeMatha High school and has been somewhat of a journeyman over the past few years. Last year he played for Arkansas and averaged 6 ppg and 2 apg. He will replace Derwin Kitchen at the PG spot most likely. Attached is Thomas' eval and an article on Peterson.
Here is a write-up on what Brewster will look like next year: http://www.zagsblog.com/2011/06/30/warren-to-brewster-recruiting-roundup/
4) And last but not least.... I am going to need someones help on this one with a rivals account. Here is rivals newest article on basketball recruiting. It is about one of MD targets and I hope the article is about us. THe headline is "Plenty of Options for Mitch McGary" the description of the article is :Five-star big man Mitch McGary has had a breakout spring and an explosion in his recruitment. One school in particular is putting on the full-court press.
Can someone help to give a description of what rivals is documenting? I know a few weeks ago in an interview McGary said we were putting on the full court press so I am guessing rivals is just reiterating that interview but I was hoping there was a new development.
Its now 10 am and I guess I better actually do some work. Later fellas.

We all know that perception often influences our decisions, yet we catch ourselves and become reminded that what we perceive isn't always what's really going on. With the constant barrage of information available in today's 24/7 world, it's important to not get caught up in the day-to-day market volatility and news headlines. That daily hype doesn't always dovetail with what Wells Fargo Advisors top strategists are observing in the financial marketplace.

Since 2012, Rockstart Accelerator has accelerated thirty startups over three programs focused on the web & mobile industry. In 2014 we ran the first edition of a new program focused on helping smart energy startups. The Rockstart Accelerator Smart Energy program helps startups create, develop and market their innovative products better, faster and more successfully, helping them navigate the challenging and difficult early stages of starting up.
After selecting the ten most promising teams from 130 applications from 39 different countries, the program started in January of this year. Demo Day was on April 17th and by now the teams are in the process of negotiating their seed round investments. Because of the great success of this first edition we are now opening up for the 2015 program.
You can apply until October 7, the Selection Days will be on November 5 & 6 during the European Utility Week in Amsterdam. The program itself starts on January 12 with DemoDay taking place on April 30.
● A cash investment of €20,000
● In kind investment of €55,000 (office, legal & fiscal support, mentoring, events, international road trip, deals)
● Intensive coaching by 80 mentors: successful entrepreneurs, industry executives & specialists
● Pitching in front of 200+ investors & VIPs at Demo Day
● International roadtrip taking you to smart energy hot spots, meeting potential investors, customers, startups & partners

Rockstart Accelerator Smart Energy Program kicks off in January 2015 and is an intensive six month program for ten of the most promising smart energy startups. The startups will be selected from a pool of applications from all around the world. During the program the selected teams are located in one location and share office facilities at our magnificent Rockstart Spaces building in the center of Amsterdam.
An impression of the smart energy startups from the 2014 program
The program is based on proven accelerator methodologies to give the team first-rate personal, team and business support focusing on Customer Development and Lean Startup methodologies, Team Dynamics, Sales and Channels (how to reach your customer), and connecting them to mentors, experts and potential investors.
Throughout the program we organize expert meetings on the dynamics of the international energy market and smart energy opportunities as well as early-days talks from successful entrepreneurs in the industry.
● The Winter Program – focused on challenging assumptions and building your startup while being coached by rock star entrepreneurs, CEO's and experts in your field.
● The Spring Program – primarily focused on supporting the startups in securing their funding.
● Throughout both phases we will be organizing an International Road Trip to help orientate towards the international market. We will visit interesting startups and innovative project sites, potential customers and partners, and pitch to international investors with a global focus
We're start out with a very lean approach by doing intensive customer development. We use the best-practice methodology created and taught by Ash Maurya. The startups go through an intensive iterative phase strongly focused on mentor feedback, where the main assumptions about product and market are challenged, and the teams fine-tune, re-shape and adapt their business. Plus future scenarios, rules & regulations and market insights.
The startups focus on product development, their business model and value proposition, as well as testing their prototype / Minimum Viable Product (MVP) with potential customers and getting valuable feedback. The teams are also taught how to master scrum. Plus visits on location and insights on trends and development.
In this final phase, the startups focus on Demo Day, investor documentation and presentations. Pitches and product demos are prepared, and practiced. We will drive you out of your comfort-zone to make you a super presenter, and help you deliver the perfect pitch.
This is not X Factor. This is Rockstart. Time to show what you've learned, what you've built and how you're going to disrupt your industry. Demo Day is your opportunity to shine, and wow the audience made up of over 250 professional investors, VCs, influencers, mentors and press. View here to get an impression.
An impression of the Smart Energy Demo Day 2014
After the 100-day Winter program, you will be at a pivotal stage in your development and growth. This is why we continue to provide intensive support for all 10 teams for an additional 100 days. Fundraising, deal making, customer acquisition and PR are just a few things you need to excel in when building a successful and international company. We provide workshops and coaching on these and other important subjects, as well as help you choose the right partners and advisors for your company.
Throughout the whole program, the CEOs of the 10 startups go on tour abroad to break through into international markets. At several pitching events hosted in different places, the teams will pitch to leading VCs, angel investors, and serial entrepreneurs to gain interest for investment rounds, establish partnerships, or acquire large customers. An international team of mentors will help the startups with introductions, understanding and getting the most out of the high-paced meeting culture and prepare them for meeting with VCs. We have currently planned the following trips:
● The World Smart Energy Week in Tokyo, February 25-27th 2015
● The Cleantech Forum in San Francisco, March 16-18th 2015
● The EcoSummit in Berlin, June 16-17th 2015

Last update: 25 July, 2009
Snofru, the first king of the 4th Dynasty, probably was the son of his predecessor Huni and Meresankh I, one of Hunis secondary wives. His marriage to his half-sister, Hetepheres I, appears to have legitimised his claim to the throne. Although the kings of the 4th Dynasty are thus descendants of the kings of the 3rd Dynasty, Manetho justifies his placing them in a separate dynasty because Snofru came from a different line in the royal family.
Next to Hetepheres, Snofru was married to at least two other but unknown queens, with whom he had several children. A first queen bore him 4 children: one whose name is unknown, then Nefermaat, Rahotep and Ranofer. Hetepheres only seems to have born him one child, Kheops. With his third wife, Snofru may have had one or two children: Kanefer and perhaps Ankh-haf. Nefermaat and Rahotep were buried at the cemetery of Meidum, near the pyramid often wrongly credited Huni. This seems to indicate that they were an older generation of Snofrus offspring, from before he moved to the newer burial grounds of Dashur, some 45 km to the North.
According to Manetho, the first king of the 4th Dynasty ruled for 29 years, but Turin King-list column 3, line 9 only notes 24 years. The Palermo Stone mentions a 6th to 8th cattle count, but is unfortunately fragmentary at this point. It does show, however, that the cattle counts during Snofru's reign were not always held at 2-year intervals, making it difficult to asses how long this king really ruled.
According to the same Palermo Stone, Snofru organised an expedition to Lebanon to obtain the high quality cedar wood needed for the building of ships, holy barks and doors of palaces. He also ordered one or more military expeditions into Nubia, bringing back a large quantity of people and cattle and is believed to be the founder of the fortress Buhen, near the 2nd cataract in Nubia. Although his presence in the Sinai is no more unusual as that of his predecessors, he would later be worshipped as a god in this region.
His internal policy seems to have been aimed at maintaining royalty and the royal family. Most, but not all, of the high-placed officials and nobles at his court were members of his family. He was also responsible for rearranging the land ownership among his nobles, probably to prevent them from becoming too powerful but also to stimulate the cultivation of marshes.
It is generally believed that Snofru was responsible for the completion of his predecessors pyramid at Meidum, although there is no evidence of Huni's involvement in the building of that pyramid. It is therefor possible that Snofru built the pyramid at Meidum, as well two pyramids at Dashur. It is unknown why Snofru moved the location of the burial grounds to Dashur and not back to the more traditional Saqqara.
The angle of the sides of the southern
pyramid at Dashur, believed by some to be the oldest of the two,
was changed from 54�31 to 43�21 somewhere halfway the building, resulting
in the unique shape of this so-called "Bent Pyramid". It has
been argued that the angle was decreased in order to decrease the mass
of the pyramid, fearing it would crumble otherwise, or in order to diminish
the workload.
Upper part of a statue of Snofru wearing the White Crown, found in the Valley Temple of the Bent Pyramid at Dashur.
The bent Pyramid of Snofru at Dashur. Note the change in angle of the ribs, to which this pyramid owes it's modern name. The angle was probably changed to decrease the total mass of the pyramid and to prevent it from collapsing under its own weight.
The northern
pyramid is the first "true" pyramid, with an angle of
43�36. It is called the "Red Pyramid" because of the colour
its stones reflect at sunset. The fact that it has almost the same angle
as the top of the Bent Pyramid, has sustained the belief that the Bent
Pyramid was the oldest of the two.
The Red pyramid of Snofru, also at Dashur. It is believed that of all the pyramids that were built during Snofru's reign, this was the one in which he was finally buried.
Snofru also became somewhat of a popular figure after his death. His monuments are mentioned in the Middle Kingdom story of Sinuhe and he himself is described as a wise and kind ruler in the story on the Westcar Papyrus.

Shoreline restoration project on Okaloosa Island
An Okaloosa County Park could become the site of a "living shoreline" project.
It's a plan to fight erosion without building seawalls or dredging sand.
Veteran's Park is on the north side of Okaloosa Island, near the Emerald Coast Convention Center.
Channel Three's Laura Hussey shows us what the project would look like.
Veteran's Park sits on Choctawhatchee Bay right next to Marler Park on Okaloosa Island. A county spokesperson says this shoreline is chronically eroded and that causes a couple of problems. First, it can threaten properties on land. Also they say people are losing a lot of chances for recreation.
Ava Arnold came to Okaloosa Island to visit family, and to enjoy the natural beauty of the Emerald Coast.
Ava "Oh, we absolutely love the ocean. We live in the mountains, so it's definitely a treat for us."
Arnold hasn't yet seen the shoreline at Veteran's Park, but the plan to protect it could also make it visitor-friendly.
Coastal Management Coordinator, Jim Trifilio, says it starts with a series of oyster shell breakwaters, to absorb energy from the waves.
Jim Trifilio/Tourist Development Dept "And then the area closer to the shore, with that lower wave energy, now it's able to support growth of seagrass and other wetland type of plants."
The grasses help anchor the shoreline in place.
There could also be a floating breakwater dock like this one in Palm Beach.
Those plants in the middle aren't in boxes, they're growing up from the bottom of the bay.
And planners are considering a boardwalk stretching the length of the park.
Ava "I absolutely love it and on the way down I told my husband it would be so awesome if they had a boardwalk down here."
Project cost would range between three and five million dollars.
While it's eligible for bed tax funding, it has all the elements to qualify for restore act dollars or other BP funded grants.
The county administrator says having preliminary permitting can make it easier to get Restore Act funding or other such grants. In Okaloosa County, Laura Hussey, Channel 3 News.

Shelbyville Daily Union
---- — Windsor was not expected to a threat in this game, but they almost stole it, losing at Arcola on Friday by just two points, 55-53.
Tristan Warner scored a game and season-high 28 points for the Devils, scoring nine times from the floor, including a trey hat trick and 7-of-9 free throw shooting. Hayden Cole stepped up for 11 points, including two of his own treys. On the day that Alex Allen signed to play baseball next year at Kaskasia, he pushed the ball and scored with eight points, including a perfect 4-of-4 at the stripe.
Windsor held Arcola to nine points and trailed by just one after a defensive 1st, 9-8. The Devils then exploded in a jailbreak 2nd, for 17 points. Arcola was close behind and Windsor held 2-point lead at the break, 25-23.
Arcola took the lead back in the 3rd in another defensive period, 36-34. The fateful 4th was another jailbreak as the two teams posted 38 points in 8:00, averaging 4.5 points every minute. They matched each other 19-19, which left the Devils still two points shy at the final buzzer.
Arcola outscored Windsor 32-26 from 2-point territory. Windsor out-scored Arcola 15-9 from the arc. The two teams tied from the floor 41-41. It came down to free throws. Windsor shot 19 and made 12 (75%). Arcola had 20 free throws and made 14 (70%), enough for the 2-point win.

Dirty Dining: Habib's Persian Restaurant
Las Vegas, NV (KTNV) -- If you've lived in Las Vegas for awhile, there's a good chance you've eaten at the restaurant in this week's Dirty Dining.
It's a place where the owner welcomed Contact 13 Chief Investigator Darcy Spears with open arms.
"I want to thank you for being here," Habib Asad said when we came to question him about his recent health inspection.
Habib's Persian Restaurant on Decatur and Sahara dodged closure by a hair after a July 10 health inspection took them from a "B" to a 40-demerit "C" grade. 41 would have shut them down.
Darcy: Even though you're on our Dirty Dining show, there's nothing dirty here, is what you're saying?
Habib: No! You take pictures! That talks for itself.
Habib is right in that there wasn't really anything dirty, per se, in the health report.
"I have been in business for 32 years and I stand behind my work."
He thinks he was downgraded for challenging health inspectors.
"The reason that they did that because I told to the inspector you are harassing me. When you want to have honey, you don't kick the beehive."
Inspectors say cooked rice wasn't being cooled properly.
And there was a garlic and oil mix that had to be tossed out because it was almost 30-degrees warmer than it should have been.
Habib disagrees. "Garlic, room temperature, hot, summer, Las Vegas, it should be around that temperature."
Inspectors also found moldy shallots.
Habib: I inspect it before we serve it.
Darcy: So you wouldn't have served the moldy shallots?
Habib: Of course not.
He takes us to the kitchen to show us what's there now.
"Take a picture. There's no mold in shallots. And here is the onion!"
But health inspectors also found multiple containers of expired yogurt.
Darcy: It was eight days past the date.
Habib: That... alright. When they are looking for something, they stare at everything. That's fine. I can manage that.
He says the yogurt was from the market, not the restaurant, and it was set aside to send back to the manufacturer.
Darcy: What about food being stored in garbage bags? That was something else they wrote up.
Habib: No, that was salt. It was on the bag that was there. They told me you cannot use this one, it is not food grade, and I change it.
Inspectors were also concerned that the operator wasn't knowledgeable about safe cooking temperatures.
Habib: They ask the cook.
Darcy: The cook should know about safe cooking temperatures.
Habib: They had the things and we cook our meat and they measure the meat temperature--it was right exactly where they want it. But he didn't know. He was so nervous to answer to any question.
And lastly, the bar's "A" grade was proudly displayed, but the restaurant's "B?" Not so much. We asked Habib why.
Habib: As you see, there is an air conditioning on top. It was right there and it was fall, they pick it up and they put it back. I did not hide it. This is me and I don't have nothing to hide.
Habib's was re-inspected and is now proudly displaying "A" grades for their bar, market and restaurant.

Every summer, Volkmar and Vera Kruger spend three weeks vacationing in the south of France or at a cool getaway in Denmark. For the other three weeks of their annual vacation, they garden or travel a few hours away to root for their favorite team in Germany's biggest soccer stadium.
The couple, in their early 50s, aren't retired or well off. They live in a small Tudor-style house in this middle-class town about 30 miles northwest of Frankfurt. He's a foreman at a glass factory; she works part time for a company that tracks inventories for retailers. Their combined income is a modest $40,000.
Yet the Krugers have a higher standard of living than many Americans who have twice that income.

Related Info
Design by Jørn Utzon.
Concert P3 is a natural choice for conference rooms, auditoriums, lobbies and other large rooms in which soft, indirect lighting is required.
Consisting of four shades that repeat the same form in various sizes, reflecting each other in pairs. Concert is built on four shades and a parabola of drawn steel, which is mounted on a glass suspension of triple-layer, hand-blown opal glass. The suspension unit sends out a pleasant, even light between the shades. At the same time, it illuminates the two upward shades and part of the cord. The bottom shades casts light downward to the parabola, which then diffuses it. The parabola not only softens the light, but prevents glare - regardless of the height of the lamp.
Dimensions 21.75"D X 12.75"H; supplied with 118" field-cuttable cord. Uses 1 X 200W 120V E26 (medium base) Type A incandescent lamp (not included).

Jørn Utzon is famous for his design of the Sydney Opera House built between 1957-1973. Influenced by his father's naval engineering drawings, Jørn must have enjoyed open and soaring hydrodynamic shapes, which he used in his lighting designs even before the ocean side Opera House. He designed to let light flow, bending metal into the shapes to direct light into a quality that would enhance a space. His Opera and Concert Lights even seek to direct music (which he too must have loved) gently back down toward the audience. It was this regard for the enjoyment of one"s senses that seems to have driven his designs, not the actual shape or style of an object. He said: "Architecture is about creating a humane and friendly world around us. It is the ability to understand what surroundings we need as people."See other lights/products from Jorn Utzon
Lightyears Philosophy - First and foremost, the lighting fixture should ensure functional lighting, but at the same time offer an aesthetic experience, whether it is on or off. Lightyears develops and markets unique lamps for design- and quality-conscious consumers. Their lamps unite quality, finish and optimum illumination. This ensures fulfilling the most important requirement, a fusion of form and function. Every single detail must have its own purpose, and not exist purely for the sake of design.

A flat stomach is important to a physically fit appearance. However, a healthy diet and regular abdominal Abdominoplasty / Tummy Tuck workouts can sometimes do little to eliminate accumulations of excess fat and loose, sagging skin in the abdominal area. If you are bothered by these appearance problems, abdominoplasty may be a good choice for you.
Abdominoplasty is designed to firm and smooth the abdomen. The cosmetic procedure removes excess skin and fat from the abdomen and may also tighten the muscles of the abdominal wall. The result is a flatter, tighter abdominal profile.
The best way to get complete answers to specific questions that relate to your individual needs is to have a personal consultation with Dr. Jonathan Berman, a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon.
Is abdominoplasty right for me? – Abdominoplasty is best suited to women and men who are in relatively good shape, but have loose abdominal skin and/or a significant amount of abdominal fat that won't respond to dieting or exercise.
You may be a good candidate for abdominoplasty if you have one or more of the following conditions:
If you plan to become pregnant or to lose a significant amount of weight, you should discuss these plans with your surgeon. Scars from previous abdominal surgeries may limit the results of an abdominoplasty. However, in some cases, an existing scar can be used for the new incision, as is often the case for women with Cesarean section scars.
What should I expect from the consultation? – A personal consultation is the first step for every patient considering abdominoplasty. During this meeting, your surgeon will assess your physical and emotional health and discuss your specific cosmetic goals for the surgery.
You should arrive at the consultation prepared to provide complete information about:
When examining your abdomen, your plastic surgeon will evaluate:
Your plastic surgeon may suggest other treatments to better meet your appearance goals. For example, some patients may benefit from liposuction alone or a limited type of abdominoplasty.
How is abdominoplasty performed? – Generally, a horizontal incision is placed just within or above the pubic area. The length of the incision, which extends outward toward the hip bones, depends largely on the amount of skin to be removed. In other words, the more loose skin that needs to be removed, the longer the incision will be. For women, plastic surgeons keep the incision within the swimsuit lines, when it is possible. Working through this incision, your surgeon may tighten the underlying muscles by pulling them together and stitching them in place. Any excess skin from the lower abdomen is trimmed away. Skin that contains stretch marks may be removed as well; however, it may not be possible to remove them all.
In patients with larger amounts of loose skin, a second incision may be made around the navel. This way, the excess skin above the navel is separated from the deeper tissues so it can be pulled downward and removed. Although the navel's position remains unchanged, its appearance may be slightly altered.
Are their other options? – Traditional abdominoplasty isn't the best choice for everyone. Your surgeon will advise you if either of these other options will work well with your anatomy and meet your surgical goals.
The "mini" abdominoplasty- This procedure may benefit you if your are primarily satisfied with the appearance of the abdominal area below the navel. A mini abdominoplasty requires only a short horizontal incision and no navel incision. It's important to realize, however, that the mini abdominoplasty will not correct loose skin above the navel.
Liposuction alone – If you have good skin elasticity and muscle tone, liposuction alone may be used to remove abdominal fat. This alternative may appeal to patients who are planning to become pregnant in the future.
How will I learn about the safety of abdominoplasty? – Each year, thousands of people undergo abdominoplasty and experience no major complications. However, abdominoplasty is an extensive procedure and it is essential for you to be informed of the risks as well as the benefits. One of the most important parts of your consultation is the discussion that you and your surgeon will have about the possible complications of abdominoplasty. In addition to listening carefully to what your surgeon tells you, be sure to raise any questions or concerns that you may have about the safety of the procedure.
Remember that by carefully following your surgeon's advice and instructions – both before and after surgery – you can do your part to minimize some of the risks.
What can I do to prepare for my surgery? – When the date for your surgical procedure has been set, your plastic surgeon will provide you with specific instructions for the days immediately before and after your surgery. A number of points may be be covered, including:
How will I be cared for on the day of my surgery? – Abdominoplasty may be performed in a hospital, an outpatient surgery center or an office-based surgical suite. If you are admitted to the hospital, your stay will be a short one, perhaps one or two days.
Medications are administered to keep you comfortable during the procedure. Often a general anesthetic is used so that you will sleep throughout the procedure. Abdominoplasty may also be performed using local anesthesia with intravenous sedation.
How will I look and feel right after surgery? – When surgery is complete, you'll be taken to a recovery area. In many cases, small drainage tubes will have been placed beneath the skin to help prevent fluids from accumulating. Any discomfort you may feel can be controlled with medication prescribed by your plastic surgeon. Dressings may be applied to your abdomen and covered with tape or an elastic bandage.
Although you will not be able to stand perfectly straight at first, you will be encouraged to get out of bed soon after surgery to promote blood circulation. In this early phase of healing, straining, bending and lifting should be avoided. Your surgeon may instruct you to sleep on your back with your knees up.
Although everyone heals at a different rate, you can expect that your recovery will follow this general time line:
Within the first week
After several weeks
After a few months
What should I know about my results? – Quite soon after surgery, you will see a noticeable difference in the shape of your body. Many people find that their firmer, flatter abdomen boosts their confidence and makes them feel more comfortable in clothing.
As the months pass, your incision line will continue to fade, however, it's important to realize that your scar will be permanently visible. Many patients view the permanent scar as a small tradeoff for their firmer, sleeker appearance.
Abdominoplasty produces long-lasting results. Unless you gain or lose a significant amount of weight, you can expect to retain your new shape for many years. Over time, gravity and aging may cause your skin to loosen somewhat. If this occurs, your plastic surgeon may suggest additional treatment for restoring a more youthful abdominal contour.
How long will I continue to see my plastic surgeon? – After the initial healing period, you will return to your plastic surgeon's office for a postoperative follow-up visit so that your healing and progress can be evaluated. In the following months, your surgeon may ask you to return for periodic checkups. It's important to keep these appointments so that your surgeon can assess your long-term results and address any questions or concerns you may have.
