Paul's app idea: Writing
Writing is an app designed for creative writers seeking forward momentum in their work. It has no editing functionality, with no ability to revise awkward phrases or even typos (outside of an OS's autocorrect features). It encourages re-typing when looking to hone a phrase. Depending on the task at hand, there are four different modes.
1. Typing
Momentum level: Medium
This will be the main view for most people. It appears like a text editor, but while you can scroll up and review your work, there's no editing or cursor placement allowed... only forward typing. In this way, the app shouldn't be considered a "Word Processor," because it's not meant for the processing or correction of written text, only the continual input of more written text.
Fig. 1: Enable Marking mode.
Fig. 2: Enable Pulsing mode.
2. Pulsing
Momentum level: High
Designed to promote freewriting, the Pulsing view obscures what you're writing, only informing you that you're still inputting text into the app with some sort of pulsing animation. The black bars (Fig. 1) above and below the text slowly close to obscure the text when you're writing with full momentum, and when you slow down or lose your place and have to stop, the view opens up and you can see your most recent line (Fig. 2).
While this mode might sound bizarre, it's actually the closest to how I actually freewrite. I typically turn my screen brightness all the way down, or place my computer or iPad across the room and use a Bluetooth keyboard. The main problem with those methods is that it's hard to tell if the computer is still registering input, and so I get scared sometimes and have to check.
3. Marking
Momentum level: Low
Personally, I don't like to break the writing flow, even for making corrections, but I understand that at some point errors, missteps, or excellent lines worthy of emphasis can prove distracting. The Marking mode gives you analog highlighter tools, where you can draw directly on the text. The app translates your markings into Markdown when you export your text to another application. Again, there's no text editing, only drawing on top of immutable text.
Red: Delete or correct (strikethrough in Markdown)
Yellow: Emphasize or refine (underline in Markdown)
Blue: Share
If you start typing again, you'll instantly exit Marking mode, with the transition hopefully seamless enough that you can tap a highlighter, strike through a word, and resume typing without breaking overall writing stride.
4. Sharing
Momentum level: None
When I'm in a mode of creativity, I often think of bizarre, unrelated things to tweet. Also, some authors like to tweet their ongoing work (often with the hashtag #amwriting) to brag about being productive and to encourage others to get back to writing instead of browsing Twitter. When in Marking mode, you can select text to tweet with the blue marker, which will then pop up the sharing modal. From here you have full control over editing your text (for once!) and can add the #amwriting hashtag as well.
What's left to figure out
1. Files. My fear is that document management can be a distraction to writing. I also don't want to get overly cutesy with some sort of analog model of "pages" or something like that. Some sort of multi-draft support per "document" would be nice as well.
2. Syncing. Dropbox? Simplenote? Computer sync? Email? All of the above? Again, my fear is adding too much complexity, while still wanting to support people's workflow of choice.
3. Re-sync. Once a file is opened on the computer for editing, is it lost to the Writing app forever?
4. Keyboard. Possible dealbreaker: this app is designed primarily for use with a Bluetooth keyboard. I'm sure it could be operated with an onscreen keyboard, but the error prone nature of onscreen keyboards, plus the amount of distraction and flow-breaking an onscreen keyboard presents, means it wouldn't be recommended. Do enough people use Bluetooth keyboards to make this possible?
V 2.0 ideas:
1. #amwriting GIF creation. To make sharing even sexier and more ego-tastic, I think it would be fun to be able to auto-generate a GIF of the words being typed and highlighted which could be shared on Tumblr, possibly with different "styles" to make it all ultra pretty and Instagram-ey. The basic goal is to make your self-quote look as badass as possible.
2. Side-by-side. Two-up view for referencing notes or a former draft while writing.
1. Paper (the app)
2. iA Writer
3. WriteRoom (iA Writer's grandaddy)
As far as I know, most of these ideas haven't been implemented in other writing apps, and where they have been implemented they haven't been implemented together. If I'm wrong, I'd love to know who is doing this, so I can buy that app!
Otherwise, I'd love it if someone wants to make this app, and consult me while they're doing it. Barring that, I'd like somebody to make this app anyway, so I can use it.
I think it could sell well, if done well. The key idea in my mind is to create a mode of writing on the computer that is not "Word Processing." The specifics I outline can be modified or abandoned, but that's the crux that I think would be a true help to 21st century writers (like myself) who can't bring themselves affect the use of a real typewriter.

The number of cases of Hepatitis C in the area has largely increased over the past year says the Chief of Infectious Diseases at Freeman Hospital in Joplin, Dr. Uwe Schmidt.
Recently health officials say they have seen a new case of Hep-C every week and the majority of the patients got it from sharing needles.
Health officials stress it is important to get tested and treated for the disease because there is a cure.
"Initially you have no symptoms and once you develop symptoms, then it's already a little bit late," says Dr. Schmidt. "Sometimes that may be a sign of liver cirrhosis."
Liver cirrhosis has a high mortality, but Hep-C can also lead to cancer of the liver.
Dr. Schmidt says there are a number of factors that can lead to someone having the disease.
"One risk factor is if they used IV drugs in the past, or at one point if they had mate or important person who tested positive for Hep-C virus - motive of transmotion is from needles," says Dr. Schmidt.
Susan Coop was diagnosed with Hepatitis-C in 2007.
"I imagine I was in my teens when I got it and I just hope I was having a good time because I paid for it dearly," says Coop. "When I was young, starting at 16, I did do IV drugs and we did share needles. So I just imagine it was that, you know, because I used them when I was 20, 21 too. But we didn't share needles at that point because we knew about Hep-C."
Coop sought treatment for the disease and refers to it as her 76 days of Hell.
"There are days I wish I was dead because I was so sick from it," Coop says. "But I'm glad I got tested. I tried telling everyone 'go get tested - this is serious - very serious problem.'"
"The treatment is effective but it has a lot of side effects also, so the patients have to be very closely monitored," says Dr. Schmidt.
Coop says she is afraid some day she'll suffer from liver cirrhosis or liver cancer, but for now she has a message for others.
"I learned from all this I can go and tell these young girls and everyone don't share the needles, they are cheap enough where you don't have to share them, you can go to the pharmacy and buy a package - just don't do it," says Coop.

Santa Fe, N.M. is a popular United States travel destination largely for its natural outdoor features, but some visitors prefer to experience its unique culture, and its most recent attraction looks to please both crowds. The Santa Fe Botanical Garden is set to open its doors July 21 as part of a larger plan that will encompass some of the city's cultural and natural highlights, The New York Times reports.
The garden is currently just 1.5-acres and features mostly apple, peach and apricot trees along with a cactus garden and natural meadow. However, organizers hope to grow the garden to about 14 acres and include a number of other highlights such as the Museum of International Folk Art. The garden was developed after its chief executive Clayton Bass realized how much of the land was going to waste.
"People were driving by daily and not realizing how incredibly beautiful it was," he told the Times. "We retained the natural indigenous plants there and added to them in more cultivated areas."
While it might be some time until the Santa Fe Botanical Garden is fully finished, the city is home to many other destination that are worth checking out:
Loretto Chapel
Santa Fe is home to many historic buildings, but most can't compete with Loretto Chapel when it comes to impressive architecture. This stunning structure was completed in 1872, and while the outward appearance might not that be striking, its interior is certainly impressive. Specifically, the chapel is most famous for its unusual spiral staircase - the Miraculous Stair.
Palace of the Governors
What the Loretto Chapel offers in terms of architectural significance, the Palace of the Governors provides when it comes to historic importance. This adobe structure was built in 1610 and was originally used as a seat of government for Spanish colonies. Its purpose has evolved over the years, and today it is a museum, but its lengthy history makes it the oldest continually occupied structure in the country.
Georgia O'Keefe Museum
The famous artist is one of New Mexico's most well-known residents. Inspired by the state's beautiful landscape, she lived there permanently starting in the late 1940s until her death more than 40 years later. Since it opened in late 1997, the museum has been a must-see and gives travelers the chance to admire some of her most famous works.

Gordon, San Jose rolling
. More Gordon magic puts San Jose in first: MLS does not have a 12th Man of the Year award, one that honors the top substitute in the league much like the NBA's Sixth Man of the Year, but if the league were to add that award to its postseason list of honors this year, it's already clear that it would go to San Jose Earthquakes sparkplug Alan Gordon. Gordon's fifth goal off the bench for the Earthquakes and his flicked-on header that led to Chris Wondolowski's goal capped a 2-1 victory at Real Salt Lake that gives the Earthquakes sole possession of first place in the hotly contested Western Conference. And that's on top of the own goal he forced and penalty he drew that netted the Earthquakes' the first half of their Rocky Mountain sweep at Colorado in mid-week action. Gordon has emerged as a less villainous but equally disruptive version of Steven Lenhart, San Jose's instigator extraordinaire, and has already matched his career high for goals in a single season, scoring five both last season and in 2008. The only question is, should Gordon have even been playing at all after what appeared to be a pretty blatant dive to draw the game-winning penalty against the Rapids? It marks the second straight season that RSL has lost to a club that had its key player on the field a game after he could have easily been suspended for a dive (Dwayne De Rosario got away with a flop to draw a late penalty against Chivas USA last season only to come back the next game and torch RSL for the quickest hat trick in league history). Regardless of whether Gordon flopped against Colorado or how San Jose has been getting its results, the league did not see fit to punish him, and the club deservedly sits atop the conference standings. With two wins over RSL, a remarkable 6-2-1 record on the road and a match in which they posted five goals on East-leading D.C. United, the Earthquakes have established themselves as the new team to beat as a blockbuster, must-see match against the resurgent Los Angeles Galaxy awaits next weekend at Stanford Stadium. As for RSL, between blowing a two-goal lead to the Los Angeles Galaxy on Wednesday and Saturday's loss to the Earthquakes -- both of which came at Rio Tinto Stadium -- the club missed a golden opportunity to put some distance between itself and its top competition in the West and instead has fallen behind San Jose and remains within striking distance of Seattle and Vancouver. The match also provided a double blow for RSL, with Kyle Beckerman's yellow card for dissent at the end of the first half ruling him out of the club's next match at Columbus due to card accumulation.

I bought some chocolate with no milk products involved yesterday, (I can't do milk, I get sore joints and migraines and bad guts) and it qualifies as bizarre.
It is from our local Aldi supermarket, a 5 x 125g pack of Moser-Roth Finest Dark Chocolate, (cocoa solids 52% min). Nothing unusual so far, is there?
Flavouring: chilli extract. It's actually not bad, but almost entirely but not quite totally unlike chocolate.
My jury is still considering the verdict on whether or not to continue with it.
The only way is forward. Now where's the bar?

Rudy Gay is out for the season. The Grizzlies are 8-6 since he was injured, while the Rockets have managed an impressive record of 11-4 from Feb 15th. How much of an impact do you think it will have on the playoff race? Tony Allen has been a great fill in while Gay has been out.
Do you think this news ingintes the Rockets a little more? Do you think this will take out some of the wind out of the sails of Memphis, especially if they lose the next 3? Memphis has @ Bos, @ Chi, and S.A. at home coming up. Could they go into a tale spin after March?

UK – Lost working days mostly due to pay disputes
91% of all working days lost between 2011 and 2012 were as a direct result of disputes where pay was the principal cause, according to the Office of National Statistics. This marks a significant increase from 2009 – 2010 where pay disputes only accounted for 24% of working days lost.
Working days lost were more prevalent in the public administration and defence industrial group, which accounted for 60% of the days lost. The second highest proportion of days lost was in education with 16% of the total.
Most of the disputes were short, with 47% of work stoppages lasting for a single day. 7% of days lost lasted in excess of 11 days, and 8% lasted between five and 10 days. Only one dispute in 2012 resulted in more than 100,000 working days lost; compared with three such occasions in 2011.
London and the North East had the joint highest rate of working days lost with an average of 14 days per 1,000 employees. Wales ranked second with 12 days. All regions saw a year-on-year decline in 2012. Northern Ireland recorded one day lost per 1,000 employees.

Lumia 920 is not a brick!
Over this weekend I had the chance to visit a Microsoft pop up store in Las Vegas. I was looking for the Lumia 920 and HTC 8x because one of these Windows Phones might be my next (I currently have an Iphone 4s). I have read a lot about these phones and so I kinda of knew what to expect. The HTC 8x is light and great in the hand as I have heard over and over again from many reviews.
As I got my hands on the Lumia 920 I braced myself for the heavy weight of the phone. I even told my mother and brother who were with me that it was supposed to feel very heavy. When they picked it up they looked at me like I was a crazy person. As soon as I got the thing in my hand I was surprised too. It was no heavier than my Iphone 4s in a case (which is damn near required on a Iphone). I could not believe so many people made such a big deal about the weight/size of this phone.
If you are thinking about the Lumia 920, or Windows phone 8, in general but are put off by the Lumia 920 weight or size... don't be.You should really go look at it first. I only say this because I had just about written the Lumia 920 off because I thought it would be too heavy/large. I got that idea from reading all of the reviews about it. Thankfully I got a chance to hold it.
I also think the 920 gets a benefit of not necessarily needing a case because the thing is built so well. Go look for a torture test for the 920 if you have not yet they are impressive.

The Modern Electoral Map
by Inoljt, Fri Oct 09, 2009 at 04:21:26 PM EDT
By: Inoljt, http://thepolitikalblog.wordpress.com/
Before continuing on my analysis, I'd like to congratulate President Barack Obama on winning the Nobel Peace Prize today.
Now onto the analysis: Some of you may recognize this map.
For those who don't, this is Ronald Reagan's landslide election over his hapless opponent Walter Mondale.
Unfortunately, for those who look for political trends, this map hides more than it reveals. For example, Reagan wins Massachusetts, but reasonable people would agree that Massachusetts is normally a Democratic state.
Here is a more revealing map.
You probably don't recognize this map. There's a good reason for that - there's never been a presidential election with the above results.
In fact, the previous electoral college is what would have happened if Walter Mondale and Ronald Reagan won an equal share of votes. The blue states are those in which Reagan won with less than 18.2%, the exact amount by which he beat Mondale.
This map bears an eerie resemblance to today's electoral maps.
More below the flip.
There have been some changes since Reagan's time. The Northeast has been turning blue; it is much harder today for Republicans to win a state like New Jersey or Maine. California has also been changing; Reagan would have lost it by only 2% in the hypothetical. To compensate, Appalachia has been moving the other direction; Democrats are hard-pressed to turn Tennessee and West Virginia blue nowadays. Places like Missouri and Kentucky were less than 3% redder than the nation in 1984. That was not the case last November.
By and large, however, what is striking is the degree to which the electoral maps look alike. For all the talk nowadays about blue states turning red and red states turning blue, much more has remained the same than has changed. Democrats do well in the Pacific Coast, the Midwest, and the Northeast; Republicans do well in the Mountain West, the Plains, and the South. The Democratic and Republican coalitions remain much the same as they were two decades ago.

was on the way to work, and something came up at the front of the bike, didnt even think about it tbh, until the next morning, taking the disk lock off, noticed a lovely 1-2mm hole straight through the edge of the headlight.Must have come up from the car in front.
Made me wish I had a headlight protector but grateful what ever it was didnt hit me in the face, my visor isnt always closed.
rather than looking for another headlight at the moment have put a headlight protector sheild over the lense which has completely sealed it.
Would be sooo pissed if it was a new bike, but its a 97 zx9r b4 so new to me but least headlights not expensive and readily available.

Yes you can get a paint match although you have what is known as Flecks in the paint it can be done quite easliy.I have an 07 Blade and had a similar problem on the fairing but my mate owns his own bodyshop he plastic welded it and re-sprayed the area, now you can't tell at all. Edwards Autos of Bridgend if you are down this way but most good bodyshops should be able to do that for you.

Ahmed takes a look at what to expect at this year's Internet Week in New York, as well as the hottest topic at the festival: the latest technologies that continue to disrupt the media industry.
Today we're announcing the initial agenda for the 2013 CM Summit, a program we've been working on for more than six months. We announced the theme four months ago, and since then we've been busy putting together all the puzzle pieces. I think what we've come up with is outstanding.
Before I go into some of the sessions, some background. The CM Summit is known for a few longstanding elements. First is the aforementioned theme: a topic that frames our dialog and attempts to elucidate the defining issues of the year. For 2013, that theme is "Parting the Clouds: Bridging Data and Humanity." Given that the Summit always serves brands, whether publishers or marketers, this year's theme may feel a bit technical. But after countless conversations with colleagues in our industry, I've come to a very clear conclusion: Brand marketing is colliding with the data-driven buying practices known as programmatic adtech. It's time to bridge the conversation.Read Entire Post
Sign up today for CM Summit 2013. Early discounted ticket pricing ends on April 15th
"SSP, RTB, DMP, DSP, DCO, WTF?" - Ned Brody, CEO, AOL Networks and CM Summit speaker
Big Data. Cloud Marketing. Programmatic Buying. Native Advertising. In the past few years, buzzwords, acronyms, and broad assertions about systemic, secular change have swept the world of marketing and media. Such declaratives have always been the currency in our business, of course - this is marketing, after all, and we love a good story about ourselves. But this time, we have come to realize, the narrative is very real.
Our society has embarked on a historic conversation around the role of data in business, government, and our personal lives. In the seventh annual CM Summit, we'll seek to define just what data really is, and how we might bridge the concept of data to not only marketing, but to a deeper understanding of culture and humanity.Read Entire Post

Canada ponders Women's Pro League Partnership with US Soccer
I made a special contribution to The Soccer Wire to talk with our friends south of the border about the role that Canada could play in the formation of a potential new Women's soccer league. The CSA was represented at the meetings to discuss the league recently and US federation president Sunil Gulati confirmed that a possible 8-10 team league could include one or more teams in Canada. Find out how I think it could work out and just where it would make sense to put these potential teams.

"Solar means jobs."
That was one of the first points Adam Browning made when we talkedin mid-March. It was also one of the last things he said before ourconservation ended. And in between, he paraphrased the concept anotherfour or five times.
As co-founder of the Vote Solar Initiative,a non-profit with a mission to stop global warming by speeding thechange to solar power, Browning knows that one of the best argumentsfor harnessing energy from the sun (stopping climate chaos, aside) isthe industry's promise to generate jobs. It's an especially potentargument when the nation's official unemployment rate stands at 8.6% —the highest since 1983.
Others, from Democratic President Barack Obama to Florida'sRepublican Governor Charlie Crist (a true rising star in the GOP) makethe same point, and just as passionately as Browning.
"There's gold in green," Crist said in an interview about solar power.
Now, the Solar Energy Research and Education Foundation (SEREF), anon-profit affiliate of a solar industry trade group, has put togethera slick multimedia map documenting the connections between solar powerand job creation.
The slide above is a grab from a fully animated map found here.
The Solar Jobs Map was a collaborative effort, with SEREF joiningGoogle and Navigant Consulting to produce the tool. You can use the mapon their website, or download the entire dataset as a KML file for usewith Google Earth.
In addition to job projections by state for the next eight years,the map is loaded with information that's both useful and — I'll putthis in everyday terms: way, way cool.

Paying for college without getting taken
MILWAUKEE - Are you or a loved one worried about how to pay for college? Well there are a number of options. But, you need to be careful to avoid getting taken.
So what kind of scams should people watch out for?
This is the time of year when scam artists know that students and their families will be searching for funds. Some of the common tricks that they will use to scam people include: Phony e-mails that try to phish for passwords, banking or other personal information, ads and e-mails with promises of grants or other funds if a student pays a fee, or too good to be true job offers that promise big bucks for little or no effort.
How do you know if an offer is legitimate or a scam?
Some scammers try to pose as being connected to a school or the U.S. Department of Education. Before you click on links or provide information, pay attention and think things through. Look at the web address. Most legitimate e-mails and websites will end in .gov, .edu, or .org. If you see a different extension, watch out. Think twice before providing bank account, student ID, or social security numbers. And, never pay to receive funds or a grant. When in doubt, check things out with the financial aid office of your school.
What options are there for students and families who are lacking funds for school?
Make sure that you have filled out the free application for federal student aid, also known as FAFSA. If you are not being awarded enough funds, consult a reputable financial institution that may be able to assist you in obtaining a parent or private loan. Also, talk to a financial aid counselor at your school. Some will offer additional funds for unique situations. And, consider going part-time or attending a community college for the first semester or two. This can significantly reduce the cost per credit for basics courses.

When you write down your dreams on paper, you're one step closer to making them a reality. In addition to short-term goals, such as purchasing a car or starting a savings plan, don't be afraid to include more ambitious ideas, such as a new home purchase. Once you've made your list, try to construct a realistic timeline for achieving each one. While there may be set dates when you'll need college tuition money or retirement savings, other goals, such as the purchase of a new home, may not have clear deadlines. If, for example, you give careful consideration to whether it might be realistic for you to take on a mortgage in five years, it's easier to create a budget that will help you make that dream come true.

JACKSON, MS (WLBT) – An alert for citizens from the Attorney General, beware of new scams from fake IRS emails to credit union phishing.
They all want your personal information.
Attorney General Jim Hood warned of a new phishing scam targeting credit union members.
Via email, pop ups and text message, credit union members are told their account has been frozen, and they need to call an 800 number to get it re-instated.
"We've had a victim in Mississippi whose account has been cleaned out," said Hood.
Many fall prey to the imposters and call because they want to avoid bounced checks and access to their funds.
"They're using different names of different credit unions and you know please call this number so you call the number and then they ask for your personal information and then they get into your account," said Hood.
You can also be a target of a scammer the next time you open an email thinking it's from a friend.
"It's primarily happening on Hotmail accounts," said the state's top legal officer.
Hood described the scam Spoofing as when an email that appears to come from someone you know.
When it's opened scammers can get the names of everyone in your address book.
He said a local judge was recently spoofed with this message.
"Oh, I forgot to tell you I was taking a trip over to London, misplaced my wallet. I need $800.00 to get out of the hotel, and we know people that have actually sent money to these people thinking they're helping a friend," stated legal adviser.
The A.G.'s Office is also investigating a security breach involving Hancock Fabrics where customer information was stolen when their credit cards were swiped.
"They get in and see your pin number if you use a credit card," added Hood.
Hancock Fabrics, which is based in Baldwyn Mississippi, announced that some data in eight states may have been compromised.
The head of the state's legal agency said Mississippi is one of a few states without a Security Breach Notification Law.
Hood supports pending House Bill 583 that would require a business or state agency to notify an individual if their personal information was been improperly acquired.
The house bill was amended in the senate and is now back in the house for reconsideration.
The attorney general advised citizens to retain valid numbers for your bank, credit union and credit card companies and call those numbers if you think they have contacted you.
If you receive calls, texts or emails other communication from suspicious sources trying to collect your personal information through scams document the numbers and addresses and turn them into the Attorney General's Consumer Protection Division.
That number is 1-800-281-4418.

Quotes with faithful
Quotes 1 till 10 of 34.
Faithful horoscope-watching, practiced daily, provides just the sort of small but warm and infinitely reassuring fillip that gets matters off to a spirited start.
A faithful friend is the medicine of life.
- James Baldwin
American writer 1924-1987
Confronted with the impossibility of remaining faithful to one's beliefs, and the equal impossibility of becoming free of them, one can be driven to the most inhuman excesses.
It is better to be unfaithful than faithful without wanting to be.
A man's memory is bound to be a distortion of his past in accordance with his present interests, and the most faithful autobiography is likely to mirror less what a man was than what he has become.
- Joseph Conrad
In Poland born English writer 1857-1924
The Westerly Wind asserting his sway from the south-west quarter is often like a monarch gone mad, driving forth with wild imprecations the most faithful of his courtiers to shipwreck, disaster, and death.
- Marguerite Duras
French author and filmmaker 1914-
Frigidity is desire imagined by a woman who doesn't desire the man offering himself to her. It's the desire of a woman for a man who hasn't yet come to her, whom she doesn't yet know. She's faithful to this stranger even before she belongs to him. Frigidity is the non-desire for whatever is not him.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson
American poet and philosopher 1803-1882
It is the privilege of any human work which is well done to invest the doer with a certain haughtiness. He can well afford not to conciliate, whose faithful work will answer for him.

AUGUSTA, Ga. – Head Coach Jason Eller stayed busy after taking the helm of the Jaguar Baseball program on Monday, July 1, signing 13 players for the 2014 Diamond Jags campaign.
"We are excited to be able to piece together our first signing class at GRU," Eller said. "It was a frenzy to not only recruit these young men, but to admit them into student-athletes. We feel like we have laid a solid foundation with some helium-type players to help build the future of Jaguar Baseball."
All but one of the new signees are in-state student-athletes, hailing from the metro Atlanta and North Atlanta area. Two sets of brothers join the Jags' rosters. Identical twins Joey (C/RHP) and Mitchell Szwec (RHP), from Marietta, Ga., hope to boost the performance on the mound and behind the plate.
Heath Durand, a junior transfer from Georgia Southern, will also aide the bullpen and his brother Tanner Durand looks to make his mark as a walk-on freshman at first base. Connor Gilbert (3B/1B), a sophomore transfer from Gordon College, and CJ Reed, the incoming junior from Mercer, will strengthen the offense and Eller sees them playing a role in the season.
Tristan Jones will split time on the mound and in the infield and lefty Tyler Grooms will split the outfield and bullpen. Pitching prospects Tyler Brown, Kyle McCreery, Tyler Roberts, Will Robertson and Oakley Whitesel round out the new group.
After a 10-38 season last year with only three wins in the Peach Belt Conference, the Jaguars look for improvement from their new cast as well as from the crew of returners. Fall practice and inter-squad games began in early September and will last until Sunday, Oct. 20.

Mumbai, March 18: Some bankers believe that Pranab Mukherjees stand on checking fiscal deficit is not forceful enough to merit a significant rate cut by the RBI.
RBI governor D. Subbarao had clearly said strong signs of fiscal consolidation were critical to the lowering of the repo rate. Mukherjees calculations have led to scepticism among some bankers and analysts who believe his efforts at fiscal consolidation are unlikely to lead to an aggressive rate cut.
While many believe that the actual fiscal deficit for 2012-13 can turn out to be higher, there is also a growing feeling that even if the RBI slashes rates, a sharp reversal is unlikely.
The budget does not contain any radical reform moves on subsidy rationalisation front. This will not be lost on the RBI. Though the central bank may do some token cuts, all these lead to an uncertainty regarding the pace and magnitude of interest rate easing, Rupa Rege Nitsure, chief economist at the Bank of Baroda (BoB), said.
Mukherjee has estimated a fiscal deficit of 5.1 per cent (lower than 5.9 per cent in this fiscal) of the gross domestic product (GDP) for 2012-13.
However, according to Rohini Malkani and Anushka Shah, economists at Citigroup, the fiscal deficit for 2012-13 could overshoot targets by around 40 basis points to 5.5 per cent of GDP as there could be slippages in both revenues and expenditure.
While the numbers for food and fertiliser (subsidies) seem realistic, estimates for fuel are conservative, they said, indicating that the government will have to raise fuel prices if it does not want to see slippages on the fuel subsidy front.
A loose fiscal policy and high levels of suppressed inflation (low fuel prices and power tariffs relative to market levels) may preclude the RBI from taking a very benign view of inflationary expectations, says a note by Kotak Institutional Equities. The report said the apex bank would be restricted from bringing down the repo rate to below 7.5 per cent from 8.5 per cent.
However, Samiran Chakraborty, chief economist and head of research at Standard Chartered Bank, told The Telegraph that the RBI would look at the March inflation number. Chakraborty maintains that the repo rate can be cut in April if core inflation falls below 5 per cent. He adds that the RBI will not be hasty in drawing conclusions vis-à-vis the fiscal consolidation plans of the finance minister, and it will watch the progress for the next few months to see whether the promises made in the budget are getting delivered.

Bet you can't guess where I've been drinking today. You guessed it. MacGregor's again. Once again I'm there in search of the perfect beer.
Todays beer was MacGregor's Scotch Ale. Not a bad beer. It's actually pretty good.
It pours a dark brown colour with a thin tan head that disapates into a lovely lace around my glass. It stands firm as a luxury alse just by its appearance.
The aroma of roasted malts fill the air as I take in a deep breath. Simple, yet complex. The smell can tell you a lot about a beer. There were not traces of adjunct and only the slightest trace of hops.
Tasting the beer oly enforced my thoughts of the aroma. My palate was overcome with a very malty taste, mostly of roasted malts. The taste was very clean and warming.
I like This beer. A strong showing from Ithaca.

On Sunday, Middlesex Panthers will take on Hampshire in their T20 match on the Old Merchant Taylors' pitch before taking on Sussex in a Division One County Championship clash from Monday until Thursday.
Middlesex have played at Merchant Taylors' School previously – in 2012 against Durham University and in second XI matches – but have never played on Old Merchant Taylors' pitch.
Top of the Division One after six matches, Middlesex have been partly inspired by the form of Watford-born Steve Finn.
The 25-year-old former Parmiter's School pupil is set to return to close to his home town in superb form and is currently the leading wicket-taker in Division One with 29 scalps so far.
Finn has thrived with Middlesex so far this season, twice claiming five-wicket hauls in the early stages of the campaign as he bids to play his way back into England contention after being released from England's tour party to Australia during the winter.
Middlesex have not fared as well in the T20 thus far, losing both of their opening South Division matches against Essex and Sussex in a double-header last Saturday.
Visitors Hampshire also lost their T20 season opener to Glamorgan a week ago.
Tickets for Sunday's T20 clash are available on the gate and are priced at £18 for adults and £5 for children. The game starts at 2.30pm.
The following day the County Championship match with Sussex gets underway at 11am, with tickets available on the gate once more and priced at £15/£5.

However, Middlesex's hierarchy often tell attendees at the club's forums that they intend to begin playing a couple of 1st XI matches at Radlett each season at some point, and they seem keen to play a County Championship match there. I imagine the ground will return to the fixturelist in 2015.
Anyone know why they're not using Radlett CC after spending all that money on it?
However, as I live in Wembley, I very much prefer Merchant Taylors' School than Radlett, as MTS is easier to get to and is within the London Transport zonal system.
As a Watford FC fan, I was looking forward to Middlesex playing in Watford Observer territory when they played Yorkshire at Radlett last year, but I had to attend the play-off final that day instead. It is a shame there will be no repeat for the Hornets this year, but at least it means my focus for this Bank Holiday weekend will totally be on Middlesex.

Orrin Evans has been recognized as one of the most distinctive and inventive pianist of his generation. In a short span of time Orrin has earned the titles of pianist, composer, bandleader, teacher, producer and arranger. The New York Times described the pianist as "...a poised artist with an impressive template of ideas at his command," a quality that has undoubtedly assisted in keeping Orrin at the forefront of the music scene.
The latest release by Evans, Freedom (Posi-Tone, 2011) is an interpretive exploration of the music of his Philadelphia friends and mentors. This trio date features a hometown crew of sideman including the solid playing of bassist Dwayne Burno, the precise metrics of drummer Byron Landham, and the tenor saxophone stylings of special guest Larry McKenna. Also guesting on the record is up-and-coming Philly drummer Anwar Marshall.
Growing up in a musical city like Philadelphia was extremely important to early development of Orrin's career. Philadelphia afforded Orrin the opportunity to study informally with the likes of Trudy Pitts, Shirley Scott, Mickey Roker, Bobby Durham, Edgar Bateman, Sid Simmons, and formally with William Whitaker, Jack Carr, and Charles Pettaway. In 1993, after attending Girard Academic Music Program, Orrin was accepted into the Mason Gross School of the Arts at Rutgers University. While attending Mason Gross some of his teachers included Kenny Barron, Joanne Brackeen, Ralph Bowen, and Ted Dunbar. They instilled in him the importance of the fundamentals of jazz as well as the necessity of listening to and living the music.
After moving to New York in 1996, Orrin was invited to join Bobby Watson's band "Horizon" on their European tour. This opportunity introduced Orrin to the New York jazz scene. His recording and performing resume includes Wallace Roney, Mos Def, Common, Pharoah Sanders, Antonio Hart, Carmen Lundy, Ralph Peterson, Ralph Bowen, the Mingus Big Band, Roy Hargrove, Nicolas Payton, Branford Marsalis, Gary Bartz, Eddie Henderson, Sean Jones, Tim Warfield, Ravi Coltrane, Robin Eubanks, Duane Eubanks, and Dave Douglas.
Orrin's recording career started in 1994 with a self-produced trio release, The Trio featuring Matthew Parrish on bass and Byron Landham on drums. The release can now be found on the Imani Record label under the title Déjà Vu. In 1996, he was introduced to Gerry Teekins from Criss Cross Records. This relationship afforded Orrin the opportunity to release six critically acclaimed recordings for the Criss Cross label. During a hiatus from Criss Cross, Orrin released a recording on Palmetto Records, Meant To Shine and various recordings on his own label Imani Records.
Orrin Evans is a PennPAT (Pennsylvania Performing Artists on Tour) roster artist.

Apparently some fans and media have strong opinions on what Anderson Silva is thinking or feeling concerning his possible title matches. Some have suggested, like Dan Henderson, that Anderson Silva has been ducking some fighters. Certain statements that have been made by Ed Soares might suggest that Anderson Silva is not happy with facing certain fighters, but there's is nothing to suggest that he's outright refused to face an opponent.
The middle-weight champion faced two guys who probably did not deserve a title shot in Cote and Leites. He stepped up for the UFC to face James Irvin at 205 on short notice and defeated a former light-heavyweight champion in Forrest Griffin. Remember, James Irvin was not the Joe Silva's first choice as an opponent for the MW champ. Four LHW fighters turned down the opportunity to face Anderson Silva.
I don't know . . . so when I hear things like Anderson Silva is messing up the middle weight division with his fickle behavior, or his unwillingness to face certain fighters, my only response is WHAT?!? Where are you getting your information from? There's only two champions in the UFC actively seeking bigger challenges, BJ Penn and Anderson Silva. If anything else, blame Joe Silva and Dana White for the condition of the middleweight division, they set up his fights at 205lbs. Anyway forget for a second, everything that I just said and just pay attention to the words from the champ.
I want to fight and, if the doctor lets me to be back to training, I'll train and I may fight with Dan Henderson, Vitor, I don't choose opponent, dude. I'm here to fight anyone. If the weight matches, 195, or 205, or 185 pounds, if I have to fight, I'll fight. Each one has an opinion and says what think is better, and I'm training to be back better than never to keep with my work, whoever my opponent is. I don't have to prove anything to anyone. I get there to do my job and there's nowhere to run, that our life. Of course I have my personal opinion about some people attitudes, but it has no influence on UFC's decision to make one fight or other. I want to defend my title and my personal interests, of course, and you gotta have strategy inside and outside the octagon. I'm crazy to grab somebody, I'm crazy to kick asses. - Anderson Silva
The 200% elbow non-controversy? Whether you want to believe that he's using his elbow as an excuse to stall matches is another issue in itself. Many stories get leaked to the internet without verification. It is what it is, you will believe what you want. I'll just sit back and wait for the next time he enters the Octagon and face Vitor Belfort.
End note:
- Yes, I'm a fan.
- We already know that he's not facing Machida or Rogerio Noguiero
- He's not so crazy about fight his fellow country men.
- Does Matt Hughes still think he can match up against Anderson Silva?
- Dan Henderson? Nate Marquardt? Please???

The General Educational Development (GED) test is comprised of a set of five modules of subject-based tests. Taking the GED successfully results in you receiving your certificate that is considered to be the equivalent of a high school education. If you did not complete high school, completing the GED exam can be crucial to your future job success so you will want to know where to take the examination and how obtain quality practice test questions and a top quality GED study guide in order to prepare properly.
Where do I Take the GED Exam and What is the Fee for Taking the Test?
Taking the GED test is administered by the GED Testing Service, a joint program of the American Council on Education and Pearson, the company that originally developed the GED questions and answers. The name GED is trademarked by the American Council on Education. Exams are available in English, Spanish, French and formats to accommodate the visually and hearing handicapped, allowing anyone who did not completely high school to have access to this important high school equivalency exam.
After preparing to by using example test questions and answers, one can register for the GED test to be given at one of the many GED Testing Centers. Most often the GED exam is administered at an adult education center, local community college, university or a public school. There is usually a fee for taking the test but this fee varies based on the state in which the test will be taken, although some states do allow students to sit for the exam at no cost. To learn the cost of the exam administration in your location, contact the nearest official GED Testing Center.
Learn the exact address of your testing location well in advance and make any transportation arrangements necessary. Plan to be at the test site early or on time at the latest because you will not be permitted into the testing area if you arrive late for your GED examination.
What to Bring to the GED Exam
When taking the GED, expect the GED Testing Center to have strict security measures in place which must be followed to the letter. Learn what you may take into the test administration area before the day of the test so that you can be properly prepared. Normally, test takers can only bring sharpened pencils into the room with them and a normal sized handbag, but expect to see any handicapped individuals sitting for the test to be permitted different items to be brought into the test, specifically those required to accommodate their handicap.
What About Breaks During the GED Exam?
Because the GED exam test questions are divided into fix section, most GED administration centers will provide short break periods between some sections. The exam is quite long and a refreshing break can really help. Before passing out the test questions and answre sheets, the test administrator will go over the specific rules such as what to do if you must leave the exam room for an emergency bathroom break or other critical reason. Should you find you must exit the test other than during a normal break period, be certain to follow the process explained by the administrator of the GED test.

We have SRM 7 server where the automatic approval was set. But surprisingly it stopped working, and all the documents (Like Shopping Cart, Contract, RFx) are going to the status "Awaiting Approval". Do anybody have any idea about such problems
PuspaSourav Biswas
Hi in SRM 70 a new workflow technology is introduced and by defualt this new workflow is to be active,
please chekc what kind of workflow you are using.
you may choose to use the old(SRM 50 like) workflow too and this should then bring back to old fucntionality and not cause any effect.
check sap note 1276845
for more info.
we have activated the BCSET for automatic approval for RFx, Shopping Cart etc. Also checked that it is process controlled workflow settings are activated in the system. Anything else I need to check?
PuspaSourav Biswas
were all the steps followed for process controled workflow?
please chekc again based on the documentatin for each step in the IMG.
also if you going to use only zero step automatic approval , why are u going for process controlled workflow, you could simply
retain your old workflow settings by chooing application controlled workflow instead of process controlled workflow.
The process contolled workflow is more useful when you have complex approval rules.
Hi ,
1. Is EvaIuation Identifier maintained as '0EV999' in Process level configuration?
2. Did you make the task groups : 40000003,40000007 As Generalize Tasks?
I have changed the workflow to application controlled workflow and follow all te steps mentioned in IMG. as there is no approval scenario required in our case. Still it is not successfull, what to do next. It was working earlier. any idea?
Could you please post the workflow log and the information on the approval preview screen?
maybe this can help me in helping with the issue
Please go to BBP_PD transaction and let us know followings.
Document Status:
Workflow Template ID:
Workflow Status:
Was it working before and stopped now? What do you see in Approval preview? Did you get any dump on system ID example WF-BATCH ? Please check if you have any syntax error in any of your expression.
Problem solved , thanks a lot to everybody
hi Puspa,
if possible can you please share the details as in what all changes you have made for rectifying the same.
thanks and regards
We have encountered similar porblem now. Please let us know how this problem was resolved.
With thanks in advance
Check whether event linkage is active for below entries in SWE2
/sapsrm/cl_wf_pdo ready_for_release srm_process_start
/sapsrm/cl_wf_pdo ready_for_workflow ws40000014
MAKE SURE the automatic approval evaluation id is 0EV000 in process level configuration.
PuspaSourav, please share what you did to resolve.
Use this note 1466930 - Automatic approval is not working in SRM.

Fireworks will soon light the night sky this 4th of July, but shows by amateurs are illegal in Virginia.
"Anything that shoots into the air, travels along the ground or explodes is illegal in the state of Virginia," said Captain James Mellon with the Henrico Fire Department. "We don't go looking for them, but if we see them we are going to address it. Fireworks are extremely dangerous."
Keep in mind, in some localities, sparklers are even off-limits. Captain Mellon says there is a legal cut-off for fireworks in Henrico.
"Anything that contains more than .25 grams of explosives," said Captain Mellon. "So, that would be anything above a paper cap for a cap gun."
Officials note party poppers may be one of your safest option.
"As beautiful as they are we can't stress enough to leave fireworks to the professionals," said Captain Mellon.
According to Virginia code, setting off fireworks illegally is punishable by one year in jail and a $2,500 fine.

Info-Tech - Telecommunications
Finally... surrender!
Tripat Kaur
Mobile phones have presumably become the lifeline of modern life. We can stay in touch, chat with our friends around the world and even click pictures with this new technology. But there are still some in the urban world, who have managed to resist the mobile mania. I belong to this fast diminishing tribe. "Why don't you just buy a mobile and then we can do SMSing! Even my dhobi has one, and look at you. What are you trying to prove?" is my colleague's constant refrain.
"I just don't feel the need to buy one. Anybody can call me anytime, and what about the innumerable calls from banks wanting to sell their credit cards, companies trying to sell travel packages etc? Don't you feel like throwing your mobile out of the window then?" has been my response.
Initially, I was very sure that I didn't want a cell-phone in my handbag or in my life. There's no need for another nuisance in life, was the logic. The thought that my bank, CA, tailor, consultant alerting me on a job opening and yes, dhobi also, can get in touch with me anytime or the idea of talking to my boss, while getting my daughter to do her homework, was simply not appealing. And was I not managing well without one before technology bestowed this tool on us?
But increasingly, without a mobile, one gets a feeling of not being a part of the loop, both at home and work. I rarely talk to my sister now, though we are in the same city. This is mainly because she likes to SMS and I obviously can't.
And people are very reluctant to call anybody on their landline number; yes it used to be the other way around some time ago. We hardly get any calls on our landline number now.
But now the advantages are becoming clear; for one, I need not pretend to my four-year-old daughter that not carrying a mobile is a virtue. Even she has a toy phone and regularly asks, "Both papa and I have a mobile. Why don't you also buy one?"
Moreover, one felt defensive whenever somebody asked for a cell-phone number. While earlier I was clear why I didn't have a mobile, now my response is clearly confused. "Uh.eh, I don't carry a cell. But I am planning to buy one."
With everybody in the circle... parents, sister, husband, in-laws, bus driver... carrying a cell-phone, it's tough to fight a lone battle, just like one can't fight a torrential rain or an avalanche. So, the tree finally falls. I have decided to buy a mobile phone this week... but with the rather weak resolve to switch it off when it's not being used... I can already hear my friends laugh at this one.

Note-taking: K.I.S.S. "Keep it Short and Simple"
Created By:Marie A. Parker
Title/Role:Library Media Specialist
Organization/School Name:Londonderry School District
Location:New Hampshire
Grade Level:5
Type of Lesson:Lesson in a unit
Type of Schedule:Flexible
Collaboration Continuum:Moderate
Content Area:Educational technology, Language Arts, Science
Content Topic:Energy Sources: Research Guided Inquiry Note-taking Lesson
Scenario:Grade 5 students are asked to research viable energy sources and then answer an essential question. After the classroom teacher has introduced the project, students come to the library for several library lessons. These lessons include: following a research model; using different resources (print and electronic); safe surfing and evaluating web sites; the importance of completing a bibliography, and a notetaking lesson which will be the focus for this lesson plan. The planning tool (attached) is used by the teacher and LMS to plan units of instruction. The planning tool includes the amount of collaboration, essential questions, content benchmarks, ICT benchmarks, how students will present the information and how will students be evaluated. Please note: Prior to this note-taking lesson, teacher and students have discussed what questions to research in order to be able to answer one essential question: (How is the energy made? Where it's used? The cost per unit? etc.) Knowing what questions about an energy source to research, students view the website along with the LMS, and they take an active part in determining which info is important and which is not. Important information is then added to our group practice note-cards.
Overview:As part of the Science, LA, and Information/Computer/Technology (ICT) Curriculum; students will research energy sources in order to answer one of these essential questions. 1. What energy source should be used to operate a new power plant in our state? 2. What energy source should be used to provide electricity for a new school in our town? 3. Should your next family car be powered by gasoline or an alternative power source?
Final Product:Students will write a 5 paragraph persuasive essay defending their answer to one of the essential questions. Final product will also include note-cards and bibliography.
Library Lesson:Students will learn the how and why of note-taking. They will be given note-taking strategies and dos and don'ts; an acronym "Keep it Short and Simple"(K.I.S.S.) is provided as a summation to the lesson. Students will be given the time to practice and be critiqued on their efforts.
Estimated Lesson Time:60 minutes
Have you taught this lesson before:Yes
Strategies for differentiation:Large lined, simple note-cards are provided. Web sites are pre-selected. Projection and SMARTBOARD display of all lesson materials. Note-taking strategies are given to students in the form of a laminated bookmark.

From the front row at Bright House Field, armed with good beer and sunblock (thanks to BD recommendations) your intrepid reporter offers gold-plated insights.
Wimberley is really fast. See two SB on two pitches. Ciriaco is not much slower.
The Phillies plan to dominate using Pirate castoffs. See Delwyn Young and Brandon Moss. I recommend going back to the strategy of sending out a stud every fourth day. Young still can't field.
More importantly, Tony Watson needs to throw more strikes to be an effective MLB reliever. But, he was just missing, so it might just be a Saturday thing.

the "you know you're an Islanders fan when..."
It shows the pure ignorane of hockey fans.
Constant bashing of being a "dirty team"
Not saying we have fans
We havnt made the playoffs in 20 yrs
-I guess the string of 4 out of 5 yrs in the tournement was lost in thought huh
Our GM and owner are braindead. Im sorry if Garth hasnt traded high end talent for rentals and washed up veterans as Milbury did.
One person even stated "does not like hearing the goal horn"...obviously they didnt pay attention to the fact we had 5 20+ goal scorers and the potential to have even more this yr.
It kinda made me pissed off. I guess maybe im showing my allegiance to this team. Its been a rough life being an Islanders fan. But the times they do make the playoffs..man is it fun.
Lets go Isles!!!!

Why didn't MS make a MX versions of Word/Excel/etc. like they did for OneNote?
I definitely think it could have happened, especially since they created the radial menu for OneNote MX which seems to be pretty sweet. The advantage of having MX versions of these apps would allow users to still use Word/Excel with total confidence with touch-only input since the current desktop versions can still be tricky to use with fingers (be sure to voice your opinion if you disagree.)
Another awesome video showing the use of the radial menu and input methods in OneNote MX: clicky

We empower beauty. ®
A browlift restores a youthful fresh appearance to the upper face. Sometimes a drooping or furrowed brow can make you look sad or angry. The forehead can drop with time, causing hooding of the upper eyelids. Eyebrow position is an important part of one's expression and youthful look. Hooding of the upper eyelids may actually be more a result of a sagging brow rather than excess upper eyelid skin. A forehead or browlift can address these changes.
The ideal eyebrow is club shaped (rounded at the center and tapers towards the sides) and starts next to the nose along a vertical line drawn upward from the corner of the nose. The lateral extent is along a line drawn from the corner of the nose through the corner of the eye. Both ends of the brow should be at the same level. Generally, in women, the head of the brow starts over the bone of the eye socket then arches delicately upward, whereas in men it should be more horizontal. The highest point of the arched brow should be above the corner of the eye. So, when raising a brow, typically the sides should be higher than the center.
Dr. Pearlman often asks patients to look back at photos of themselves from a younger age to see if the position of their eyebrows has truly changed. Patients are encouraged to bring these photos in for the initial or follow-up consultation. If you open a fashion magazine, as with all cosmetic surgery today, you will see that there is no one brow position. It's more about the shape of the brow that is important, as well as the elimination of hooding. The best brow is one that fits your face and restores youthful beauty and "punctuation" to the face.
Actual Patient of Dr Pearlman
A drooping brow can be corrected through 4 or 5 tiny incisions behind the hairline. Endoscopic or minimal-incision browlift utilizes an endoscope, which is a skinny telescope similar to those used by the Orthopedists to look into knees. This technique minimizes loss of sensation and hair at the incision sites. New avenues in cosmetic surgery include lifting sagging cheeks for a mid facelift as an extension of the endoscopic brow and temple lift.
The more traditional technique is a coronal lift, which requires an incision from the top of one ear, remaining behind the hairline to the opposite ear. The entire forehead is elevated through this incision from above. The coronal browlift is infrequently used because of the extensive incision. However for patients with high hairlines, the hairline position can be maintained or even lowered by a browlift using an incision just at the hairline. When performed meticulously this incision is barely detectable. This is called a pre-trichial browlift.
Questions? Contact Dr. Pearlman about browlift or other facial procedures
Answers to frequently asked questions about the procedure
Eyelids can look "tired" from a number of reasons. The more common ones are bags under the lower eyelids, excess skin of the upper and/or lower eyelids and drooping of the eyebrows. You don't have any of these.
Your eyelids slant downward towards the sides; the corner where the upper and lower eyelids meet (called the canthus) is lower towards your ears than near your nose. There are a number of surgical techniques that can be used to raise the lateral canthus. Sometimes, there may be some hollowness of the bone of the eye socket as well. This is also treatable. Seek out a surgeon who is versed in this procedure for a more definitive discussion.
A: A rhinoplasty will last for the rest of your life. However, even a nose that has undergone a rhinoplasty ages like the rest of your face and body. As we age, the nose begins to droop. After a rhinoplasty they will age from where they were after the procedure. The procedures we do for an aging nose is often more subtler than a formal rhinoplasty.
A mini-facelift of today was the maxi-facelift of 2 decades ago. Mini or maxi, best to discuss with your doctor. There are many definitions of what a mini-facelift is. For some it's a shorter incision, for other doctors its less work on the muscle called the SMAS. The technique depends more on the doctor's skill and your anatomy. For a patient in their early 40's, you often don't need the same deep plane facelift that someone in their 50's or above might need. Most of these procedures address your jowls.
A: Performing both a quality septoplasty and rhinoplasty is dependent on the individual's training and experience. Generally, facial plastic surgeons start with ENT training before they move on to facial plastic surgery. Although they are not formally trained, many plastic surgeons can also be experience and qualified to perform septoplasty procedures. The main focal point should be how much training they have received and how much experience do they have performing the procedures together and separately. There are subtle signs that could indicate if the proposed surgeon is right for you:
