Tonsillectomies are among the most commonly performed surgical procedures in the United States, but their popularity seems to wax and wane. At times, the medical community has generally viewed the surgery as a minor, rite of passage for children. At other times, it has been more critical.
As more research reveals the risks of leaving swollen, infected tonsils alone - in addition to the risks of removing them - it is ever more important than ever for patients to be informed. This article will attempt, as accurately as possible, to outline the risks versus benefits of having your tonsils removed.
Common Reasons a Surgeon Might Suggest a Tonsillectomy
Probably the two most common reasons a surgeon might suggest removing tonsils are: sleep apnea and the presence of numerous strep infections. Among adults, chronic infection is the main reason for the procedure; among children, sleep apnea is the No. 1 reason.
Sleep apnea is a condition where a person stops breathing for brief periods of time during their sleep. Recent research has shown that over time, this lack of oxygen to the brain and heart can result in severe illnesses, including heart disease, depression, mood swings, aggression, daytime sleepiness and numerous other health problems. Swollen tonsils can can cause apnea by directly blocking the airway while a person is lying down.
New information about the dangers of sleep apnea has certainly increased the number of tonsillectomies in the United States. In fact, surgeons are more likely to recommend removing the tonsils if you have sleep apnea than if you have chronic tonsillitis alone. Removing swollen tonsils has been found to be very effective in treating and curing this form of sleep apnea. However, surgery should only be considered when other, less invasive forms of medical treatment are not tolerated or are ineffective.

- The Effects of Sleep Apnea on Diabetes
Most professional guidelines do not recommend a tonsillectomy for infections unless you have had five to seven of them in one year. In addition, a surgeon will consider the severity of those infections and how responsive they are to treatment.
While removing the tonsils is usually helpful for treating chronic infections it is not always 100% effective. It is still possible to get strep throat or a similar infection after having your tonsils removed. Nevertheless, the majority of people either stop having infections or don't have as many. If you do get an infection after a tonsillectomy the infection is usually not as severe as it would have been before the surgery. For more information read:

- What to Do About Recurring Strep Throat
Other reasons your doctor may recommend removing your tonsils include peritonsilar abscesses, tonsil cancer and enlarged tonsils that are causing teeth problems. Enlarged tonsils that are causing difficulty with swallowing or breathing and have not responded to other treatments should be removed as soon as possible.
The RisksExpected or Common Problems After Tonsillectomy
Aside from some life-threatening complications tonsillectomies come with some expected, unpleasant side effects. Many people experience nausea and vomiting, throat pain, difficulty swallowing, low grade fever, bad breath, earaches and fatigue. The frequency and severity of these post-surgical problems vary widely from person to person. It is widely believed that children tend to have a shorter and "easier" recovery.General Anesthesia
Tonsillectomies are performed under general anesthesia. General anesthesia comes with its own set of risks. These risks range from the minor - nausea and vomiting - to the life threatening - such as respiratory failure, malignant hyperthermia and even death.
You are less likely to experience serious complications if you've successfully undergone general anesthesia in the past. Individuals with a family history of malignant hyperthermia, pseudocholinesterase deficiency, muscular dystrophy or sudden death from general anesthesia are themselves at a higher risk. You should inform your anesthesiologist if any of your family members have experienced these complications. Medications may need to be adjusted to avoid potential problems.
You are also more likely to have respiratory problems after anesthesia if you have a chronic respiratory condition such as asthma or sleep apnea. However, thousands of individuals suffering from sleep apnea successfully undergo general anesthesia every day.
One source estimates the rate of deaths attributed directly to anesthesia to be less than one in 100,000 patients. You can reduce your risk by following the instructions given to you before your surgery, (especially about eating and drinking), and fully disclosing your health information to your doctor.Bleeding After Surgery
There is always a risk of hemorrhaging (bleeding) during and after any surgery, but because the tonsils are close to major blood vessels, bleeding is a special concern. Bleeding after a tonsillectomy is not common; however, it is perhaps the most serious risk of the operation itself. Serious complications from bleeding, including re-hospitalization, additional surgery and death, are very rare, but they can happen. There are two times during which post-operative bleeding is most likely to occur: within the first 24 hours after surgery and six to 10 days after surgery when the scabs come off. It is estimated that 0.2% to 2.2% of patients hemorrhage within 24 hours after surgery, and 0.1% to 3.7% of patients experience post-operative bleeding six to 10 days after surgery.
Diseases such as hemophilia or anemia increase your risk of bleeding after a tonsillectomy. The use of certain medications such as aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen or prescription blood thinners like Coumadin (warfarin) can also increase the risk. Your doctor will recommend you stop taking these medications before surgery and should give you specific instructions regarding the use of these medications after your tonsils are removed. There is also some evidence that the steroid dexamethasone, commonly used during surgery to prevent nausea, may slightly increase your risk of bleeding. Dehydration can also increase the risk that your scabs will come off too early and cause bleeding.
It should be noted that during the actual surgery you may swallow some blood. This blood may come out in saliva or be vomited out later. In this case the blood will appear brown (it is commonly described as looking like coffee grounds). This is not a concern. However, bright red blood coming from the tonsil beds at any time is unacceptable and you should get immediate medical attention. For more information read:

- Post-Operative Bleeding After a Tonsillectomy
- Five-Year-Old Dies After Tonsillectomy
Another risk of any surgical procedure is infection. This is relatively rare with tonsillectomies; when it does occur, it can usually be cured by antibiotics. Signs of an infection should be reported to your doctor immediately. They include: a fever greater than 101 degrees Fahrenheit; severe or persistent ear pain (the surgery can cause ear infections, but ear pain is also a common complaint after a tonsillectomy, so you should be aware of other signs and symptoms indicating an ear infection); and symptoms of an upper respiratory infection, such as coughing, mucus that is an abnormal color (green, for example) or difficulty breathing (a symptom that can be an emergency).Other Rare Complications
There is a small risk for other rare complications, including: burns during surgical cautery; upper airway obstruction from excessive scar tissue; damage to the teeth during intubation (the insertion of a breathing tube for general anesthesia); the accidental inhalation of stomach contents while under anesthesia (aspiration pneumonia); and allergic reactions to medications given during and after surgery.
Because no two people are alike and the human body is so complex, there is a very rare chance that you will experience complications that have never been documented.Adenoidectomies
Adenoidectomies are commonly performed at the same time as a tonsillectomy. It is possible to have your adenoids removed with or without removing the tonsils. Your surgeon will decide if the removal of your adenoids is necessary. An adenoidectomy is considered a separate surgery from a tonsillectomy and carries its own risks. For more information read:
The Bottom Line
It is estimated that roughly 380,000 tonsillectomies are performed annually in the United States. By far the majority of these operations are considered successful. It is difficult to obtain data on deaths related to tonsillectomies in the United States, but a study in Israel revealed one death per 12,000 surgeries. Whether the deaths were due to the tonsillectomy, an allergic reaction or general anesthesia is not known.
While the risks of having your tonsils removed should not be taken likely, if your enlarged tonsils are decreasing your quality of life, you are otherwise healthy and do not have a family history of muscular dystrophy or malignant hyperthermia, it is probably worth it to have them removed. However, this is a decision that only you, with the assistance of your surgeon, can make. For more information read:

The June auctions in Paris and Bievres were two of the least exciting offerings from these two houses.
At Beaussant Lefevre in Paris, the most interesting items were from Aguado, Deveria, Poitevin and Ternande.
The first two of the Olympe Aguado's were small but nice prints. The first, a self portrait with two of his dogs, went to a French collector for 22,000 francs plus the premium (about $3500); the second was a cute image of a dog holding the leash of a small donkey cart in its teeth while a man stands next to the cart. English dealer Robert Hershkowitz bought the image for a little less than $3000. I underbid it.
THE image of these two auctions, a negative of a tree by Aguado, went for 82,000 francs plus the premium to a U.S. dealer on the phone against the underbidder, Paris dealer Marc Pagneux, in the room. While the image wasn't quite as impressive as it was in the catalog, it was still a fine negative, and it doubled its presale estimate of 40,000-50,000 francs.
I tried to get a daguerreotype of a photographer with his camera. The quarter plate had a scratch on the far left side, but the central portion of the image itself was unmarked and in fine condition. I underbid to the phone's nearly 60,000-franc winning bid, which includes the premium.
The pre-auction announcement of Deveria images in this auction had caused a bit of a stir in the French community. Deveria's work is incredibly rare and sometimes very interesting. He was an amateur, and most of his images are unique. He was the first to photograph many Egyptian sites in the 1850s.
Unfortunately most of the images in this sale did not deliver on the promise. The prints were generally weak and very few were Egyptian, and those were taken later in 1860 probably at the Louvre where Deveria worked. At least one of the works, Le Scribe du Louvre, was preempted.
Paris dealer Philippe Doublet bought up several of the better Egyptian-oriented images for an upcoming fall exhibition that he is planning.
I bought what I felt were the most interesting and strongest prints of Deveria's images of Normandy, both of the port of Courseulles, in the Calvados area. These photographs were made (like most of Deveria's) with paper negatives and printed on albumenized salted paper circa 1859.
A very large group of Poitevin experiments prompted an unusual announcement by the auction expert, Pierre-Marc Richard, that they would not be preempted by any museum.
The experiments ran the gamut from daguerreotype plates that had no images at all on them to some very important pieces. American Michael Sachs was the most aggressive bidder on this group, although a few of the French dealers and collectors sneaked in on some of the lower level items. I purchased a trio of self portraits in various media.
The last group of important images to come up here was a rare group of photographs of the arrival of the future queen of Portugal, Princess Stephanie of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen taken by Amedee Lemaire de Ternande.
The unfortunate princess was the Princess Diana of her day. She was beautiful, well liked and created a storm of media attention, but she died within a short time after her arrival in Portugal.
The images all went considerably over their reserves. The top image--an albumen print showing the arrival, which was published as a woodcut in L'Illustration--fetched about $8000. I had purchased the same image as a salt print last year at Beaussant, but then it was an anonymous print. My price on this item is still half that of this auction. Robert Hershkowitz, Marc Pagneux and the phone were all active bidders on this lot.
We moved on to Bievres, the little outdoor photo fair about a half hour by car out of Paris. The once-a year fair does seem to be getting more low-end each year. Just less and less material coming to the market, I guess.
The Galerie de Chartres usually takes the occasion of the fair to move its auction to Bievres at this time of year. Again the selection of images was not very impressive, outside of a group of important glass plate negatives and a couple of albums.
The glass plates, which were originally collected around 1900 (although the photographs were made in the 1850s), featured important photographers and images, including nudes by Felix Moulin, Auguste Belloc, and Achille Quinet. They fetched prices up to well over 12,000 francs per plate--still very reasonable prices for such important and unique pieces.
There were two albums that caused some fireworks. The first was a mixed album of albumen prints of Japan, Brittany and Russia. There were two exceptional prints from Brittany. Paris dealers Arnaud Delas and Bruno Tartarin bought the album for nearly 140,000 francs over a phone bidder (reportedly the Brittany department government), including the premium, certainly not a bargain. The estimate was 15,000-20,000 francs.
Etude Tajan auction expert Serge Kakou took home a very large folio 1868 album of Brest by A. Bernier. There were some very good images in the group, even though the prints were not as strong as they might have been. But Kakou told me that it was the only such album he has ever seen, even though it is mentioned in the SFP's exhibition information. Some of the images are of convicts, among the very first such photographs. He had to beat back an aggressive phone bidder and paid nearly 100,000 francs with the premium for his treasure (estimate 20,000-30,000 francs).
In another related action, the French parliament, facing EEOC censor, has finally and unanimously approved a plan to privatize the art auction market and open it to foreign and online auctioneers next year.
In a move typical of the French government, the parliament has also agreed to compensate the 468 licensed French auctioneers, who have held a monopoly on art auctions in France since 1556, for their "expected losses" due to the action. Christie's/Piasa, Sotheby's, and Phillips/EtudeTajan have either built or are in the process of building new showrooms and offices in Paris. Other major Paris houses are expected to also compete, but many of them will simply be gobbled up in the ensuing competitive wars.
The Board of Sotheby's Holdings has recommended 16 nominees to serve as directors of the company for the coming year and announced a rescheduled annual shareholders meeting in New York City, August 3rd.
The firm's annual shareholders' meeting and election of new board members originally scheduled for London in April was cancelled abruptly amidst reports that it's biggest shareholder, Baron Capital Group Inc. was unhappy with its lack of representation on the board.
If that's the case, they may continue to be unhappy.
The four nominees to be voted on by the Class A shareholders includes two telco execs and two investment bankers, but no one from Baron, which controls the Class A shares.
Former Sotheby's Chairman A. Alfred Taubman owns the bulk of the B Shares. Among the 12 nominees to be voted on by the Class B shareholders is a very familiar name: Robert Taubman, the son of the former chairman and rumored to be his choice for chairman at some point.
Although Baron owns over 55% of the Class A stock, Taubman has 63% voting control of the company through his ownership of Class B shares.
It should be worth buying one share in Sotheby's just to attend the shareholders' meeting. At $17.50 (the closing price June 30), it might be the most entertainment you'll find for that amount in New York City.
I've long been a fan of Charles Wood's photo book catalogues. Wood has published thick well-illustrated catalogues for some decades now, and past copies have become sought after as classics. The books listed in them are indeed rare and important. Wood is often the only source to buy these particular publications, which are often photographically illustrated.
He is at it again and has a new 84-page catalogue on The Photograph and the Book. It contains some of the classics of 19th century and a few 20th century classics as well. There are very early (as early as 1839) and important catalogues and books relating to stereos, daguerreotypes and photography art prints.
He's offered to send his catalogue free to readers of this newsletter. Simply email him at email@example.com or phone him at 617-868-1711 to request your copy. Be sure to mention this newsletter to get the catalogue free.

If you own your own website, it is necessary to have some SEO strategy. Search engines are one of the most popular methods potential customers will use to access your website. This is why it is so important to be as high in the search engine results as possible. The following advice will help you improve these all-important search rankings.
Meta Description
Present yourself as an experienced veteran of your field. This is a great Internet tool.
A good rule of thumb with regards to META description tags is to make sure that every single tag for each page is unique. You never want to use the same META description tag for different pages, as it is a sure way to lower your ranking among most search engines. Make sure you know all about the company when paying someone to do SEO for you. There are many unscrupulous, inexperienced internet marketing firms and SEO specialists that charge ridiculously high prices for sub-standard work. Look at what past clients are saying and what people are saying online. Your wallet will thank you later. Be certain that your website is well-coded when you are working on optimizing it for search engines. If your site has a lot of messy JavaScript codes holding it together, search bots won't be able to classify it and your ranking will suffer heavily. If you rely heavily on Flash content without text descriptions, your site may simply be ignored by the search engines.
Interesting meta tags on each web page can help improve your search engine results. A good description tag will make your site stand out on the search engine results page.
All of your titles need to be enticing and unique, even if the content beneath each of them discusses the same topic. Make sure to keep your titles short and sweet. Each word you add makes the following words less important to the reader. The title's first words matter most when trying to hook readers. Only work with directories that have quality sites to exchange links with. There are too many worthless links you could accept. It's common for directories of low quality to be filled with derelict or badly done websites. Always take the time to research any business you plan to work with. The way you optimize your own business for your customers is the same logic you should use in optimizing it for search engines. Some businesses are unaware of how much SEO can help their sales.
Purchasing a domain name that has some history behind it will automatically get you a higher search engine ranking. The older the age of the domain, the higher the site will likely rank on search engines.
To achieve a higher search ranking for your site, it's essential to use good keywords in your site's title tag. When a search engine looks for webpages they put more emphasis on the content that is in title tags so it is crucial to have your keywords represented in them. Your site will attract more visitors if you chose strong keywords. Be aware of the many different ways that you can get links directed towards your site, like article writing, message forums, directory submissions and blogs. Creating solid incoming links to your site is one of several imperative SEO tasks. SEO does not necessarily have to be hard or confusing. You just need to pay attention to detail, and adjust the approach that you have. Once you have incorporated the suggestions in this article, your website rankings will start immediately climbing.

Heading into the seventh and final stage of the Trans-Sylvania Epic [33], race leader Justin Lindine (Redline/NBX) led the Open Men's field by a comfortable 15 minutes over Sam Koerber (Progold). The strong lead allowed Lindine to race more defensively in the final stage to retain his leader's jersey, while the other competitors fought to defend or improve their standings in the GC.
Early in the race, Phil Grove (Hammer Nutrition) gained a substantial lead over the Open Men field. "Right before the long enduro [32] section Aaron [Snyder] was pulling really hard; I was following him and the rest of the guys didn't want to come around," said Grove. On the road climb heading into the aid station, Grove had a 30-second gap over the chase group comprised of Snyder, Justin Lindine, and Sam Koerber. However, the group would catch Grove right near the aid station, ending his chance for a stage win.
Lindine developed a minute and half lead over second-place Koerber to take the win in the final stage and finalize his hold on the NoTubes Leader's jersey in the GC competition.
Brian Matter (RACC/Trek/Progold) went through a troubling day on the bike after spending most of the night with a stomach virus. Matter rode strong to try to keep his third place standing in the GC over Aaron Snyder (TSEpic Team).
The women's race also had fireworks on the final stage. After losing over 30 minutes from a detour off-course in Stage 5, the Stan's NoTubes women headed into the final stage with one goal: To reestablish their dominance. After a strong finish in Stage 6, Vicki Barclay needed only 41 seconds on fourth-place Andrea Wilson (Brickhouse Racing) to put the NoTubes team in the top four GC positions.
Amanda Carey took the overall title, and NoTubes riders took the top four women's podium spots. (A.E. Landes)
Sarah Kaufmann, the winner of today's stage, worked from the start to move Barclay up the field and develop an early lead. "We had a plan for Vicki [Barclay] and we executed it," said Kaufmann. With their teammates up the road, Amanda Carey and Sue Haywood took a brisk but defensive pace. Despite having her teammates as her main competitors, Carey said that the race remained intense. "We are still each other's competition; Sue [Haywood] and I went at it every day fair and square," said Carey.
The NoTubes team took the first four spots on the stage. Barclay finished second behind Kaufmann, and gained 8 minutes over rival Andrea Wilson. Haywood and Carey crossed the line within 15 seconds of each other in third and fourth, respectively. And the hard effort also netted the team the top four GC spots.

Can Ford Continue to Surge Higher Post-Earnings?
With shares of Ford Motor Company (NYSE:F) trading around $15, is F an OUTPERFORM, WAIT AND SEE, or STAY AWAY? Let's analyze the stock with the relevant sections of our CHEAT SHEET investing framework:
T = Trends for a Stock's Movement
Ford is a producer of cars and trucks. The company also engages in other businesses, such as financing vehicles. Ford operates in two sectors: automotive and financial services. Through its sectors, Ford provides a wide range of vehicles, vehicle parts, and services to a multitude of consumers and companies worldwide.

1Miley Cyrus made a drug and nudity-filled movie with Moby and Wayne Coyne
First of all, where the hell has Moby been lately? You know, besides sitting alone in his apartment thinking about what a great artist he is and how no one understands music like he does. He seems to come out of hiding long enough to collaborate with Miley Cyrus and getting-weirder-by-the-day Wayne Coyne on a new music video/movie that's trippy in all the wrong ways and is in no way worth watching. But please, I encourage you to do it anyway:
If this is what art is now, God help us all.

0Moby Gave Up Drinking Because Someone Stole His Hat
Moby is sober now because someone stole his hat. But wait, there's more to it than that. David Bowie, Moby's idol (they also went on tour together in 2002) gave Moby a gift any Bowie fan would kill for: his hat from the film The Man Who Fell To Earth. And then some douche stole it. From The Guardian via Express:
About 10 years ago, I was over at his (Bowie's) house and he gave me a present, the greatest present anyone has ever given me: the fedora that he wore in The Man Who Fell to Earth. And on the inside of the brim it said: 'To Moby, Love David.' I felt like I'd been given the holy grail, because Bowie is my favourite artist of all time. A few weeks later, I'd been in this terrible bar and it closed and I invited three people back to my apartment. Anyway, people were smoking crack in the bathroom, and at six in the morning I took out this hat and I was showing it off, and in the morning it was gone… I remember thinking: 'Boy, I need to stop drinking'.
As a Bowie fan that makes me so sad. Everyone be on the lookout for this hat:

1Moby Defines Music, Calls Out Britney Spears Again
Man, Moby is on fire this month. Remember that time a few weeks ago when he called Britney Spears "broken" and we were all like "daaaamn!"? Well, it looks like this man still isn't done ragging on Britney, and this time, he pulls poor, innocent Ke$ha into the mix as well. In a recent interview with Spinner, Moby was asked about the musical stylings of these popular ladies, and he wasn't shy about expressing his thoughts:
"It's fun, but I don't think of it as music. It's manufactured. I appreciate it as a pop culture phenomenon and some of the songs I like if I hear them in a shopping mall or something, but it doesn't function as music for me. Music is something that communicates emotion and integrity in a really interesting, direct way. And when I listen to the pop music you're describing, it's hyper-produced corporate product. That isn't really even a criticism, but I just think calling it music is a misnomer."
Listen, Moby, you're a grown ass man. You're 45 years old. I think it's time to get off your high horse and go sit in your shower and brokenly sing "We Are All Made of Stars." Not because I think you're wrong – on the contrary, I completely agree with you – I just feel embarrassed on your behalf.
Way to get people talking about you again, though. I mean, without resorting to recording a song with Gwen Stefani.
May 31, 2011 at 10:30 am by Emily
1Moby (I Know, Remember Him?) Says Britney is 'Broken'
Way to be ten years behind the time, Mobe. I know you're perpetually stuck in, like, '99 or something, but publicly outing Britney on her general off-balanceness is so last decade. On Britney, Moby says:
"Britney's actually kind of like a broken-down shell of a human being, that's what makes her so endearing and compelling. She was lovely, but really broken. Like, (A Streetcar Named Desire character) Blanche Dubois-style broken. Actually, the most entitled people I've met are indie rockers and indie actors, because they really believe their press."
Now, Moby fans, before you go taking your horn-rimmed specs off because you KNOW that it's not cool to fight when you're wearing glasses, let it be said that I think Moby's actually a cool dude, aside from his music – and the last part of that is only because it's just not my thing. However, he does a lot of good, and we share most of the same spiritual views. But regardless, unless you're a gossip blogger that happens to run across a slow news day and Britney's your fallback snark girl, you shouldn't be throwing her under the bus just because you're trying to sell albums and it'll get you press. ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU'VE ALREADY DONE IT ONCE, in practically all the same words.
This would be the appropriate place to say, 'Ugh, Moby – get some new material.' And praise the cosmos, he HAS. His next album (which hits stores next week) is supposed to be more acoustic than anything, so you better start picking up the pot again and laying off the rolling for a little while at the very least.
Do be sure to let me know how it is.
May 10, 2011 at 10:30 am by Sarah
10It's a Slow News Day, So Let's Talk About Britney Some More
Seriously, it's like, when there's nothing else going on, everyone just uses the opportunity to try to get their name in the papers by saying something about Britney Spears.
Up now: Moby.
I know, right?
Here's what he had to say to British rag The Sun:
"She's like this Tennessee Williams tragic figure. The fatter she gets, the weirder she gets, the more I love her. I found her moderately appealing in the late 90s, but now I would marry her in a heartbeat."
Yeah, that's right, Moby called Britney Spears fat.
Love it.

Dr. Dan Pompa D.C.As we age, we become increasingly aware of the desire to preserve our youth. There has been millions of dollars put into research because of this growing desire. The good news is, from this extensive research we now have some real breakthroughs that actually make a significant difference in aging. With that said, there is so much on the market that is based on hype and not real science.The information in this program came out of my own battle, searching for answers to my own health challenges. I did not set out to research anti-aging, however, in my quest to regain my health, I realized that the very things that got me well, happened to also be the very things that research shows can turn back our genetic clock. This program is the first to do exactly that. Address the true cause of why most Americans are aging prematurely. The good news is with the advancements in science, this program is able to equip you with the tools not just to live longer, but to live with vitality, looking 10-20 years younger. This is the first comprehencsive program ever to address all three areas that studies indicate have a dramatic impact on aging: Diet, Exercise and Supplementation.
ANTI-AGING (Cellular Longevity) PROGRAMThe key to youthfulness and the benefits of vital health, smooth skin, strong muscles, and freedom from the diseases that occur with aging is found inside the cells. More specifically, it's found in genes such as SIRT 1 (Sirtuin 1) known as the longevity gene. Further, the ends of chromosomes (telomeres) govern how long a cell and its offspring can live. There are five critically important cellular processes that must be maintained for youthful health and longevity: 1) cell membrane integrity (respiration), 2) mitochondrial ATP production, 3) methylation, 4) free radical protection, 5) inflammation protection.
Nutrients that support telomere protection and mitochondrial biogenesis contribute greatly to all aspects of anti-aging which is based on cellular longevity. This program benefits everyone and helps the body restore its youthful vitality.

"I think she was a hero, I really do," said Miami City Councilman Doug Weston.
Weston met international advocate Fern Holland when she was about nine years old in the early 1980s. Holland was murdered in Iraq years later in 2004 while promoting women's rights in the country after the fall of Saddam Hussein. Weston says even then when a nine year old Fern hustled him at games of pool, he knew she was headed for greatness.
"It was kind of humbling to be put in my place over a pool game, but you could tell there was something different about her, and she was spirited," Weston said.
Those who knew her say Holland spent her short 33 years on earth putting others before herself. She graduated from Miami High School and moved on to become a lawyer, quitting to become a member of the Peace Corps-to then open legal clinics for African women suffering from rape and sexual abuse.
"The one that she started, they've started a second one, based on the model that she created, so by now thousands of lives, that she's saved, tortures that she's ended," said DeeDee Cox of the Miami Crisis Center, who is putting on the week long open house, beginning August 19th.
According to the Cox, the Crisis Center hopes people come to this open house (located at 118 A Street SE in Miami), learn about Holland's story and discover that even nine year's after her murder, her legacy continues to live on, in the hearts of those she's helped world wide.
"I think it's so important that we do everything we can to keep her memory alive, so that people can aspire to the great things that she dreamed of," Cox said.
And Weston says Holland's story is one everyone should know about.
"She was pretty much selfless and thought that the needs of the other people of the world, far exceeded her own," Weston said.
Holland has won awards including the Oklahoman of the Year in 2004, and the Heroic Oklahoman Award as well as had a portion of Highway 25 named after her by Oklahoma Mary Fallin in 2012.
Fern Holland Remembrance Week Information:
The Crisis Center is hosting the open house for Fern Holland, Monday through Friday from 3 PM- 6 PM, but will be willing to open for those wanting to visit during the lunch house. Cox notes that there will also be a Celebration Ceremony on Saturday, August 24th at the Center with a free breakfast beginning at 9am and a brief program for Holland at 10am.
Additionally there will be a 5K run sponsored by Northeastern Tribal Health System in remembrance of Holland and to end Domestic Violence at Miami High School at 7:15am at Miami High School. You can call Debbie Randolph at 918-332-4374 to register.

ARDMORE, OK-- County music superstar Chris Cagle will be performing live in Ardmore tonight for a benefit concert for a local family shelter.
The Family Shelter of Southern Oklahoma helps victims of domestic abuse, sexual assault, and stalking. A benefit concert is being held Thursday to raise money for those victims.
"We serve over 350 victims every year!," said business manager Misty Butler. "It will be used in shelter to make sure that our clients have a safe place to go and that their needs are taken care of."
Misty Butler has worked at the shelter for more than 5 years. She said she hopes the concert will not only raise money, but bring awareness about the problem of domestic abuse.
She said the concert would not have been possible without the help of country music star Chris Cagle's wife Kay. "Kay Cagle, Chris Cagle's wife did an internship with us and she just really connected with what we did so she asked Chris if he would volunteer his time and put on a show for us as a fundraiser," said Butler.
The shelter holds fundraiser's raising between 10-20-thousand-dollars a year. Butler says they hope to raise more than that Thursday night. She said they'll use the money to build a needed expansion to the shelter. "We definitely want to thank the community, we received a lot of sponsorships and we also got a lot of items donated to do a raffle, so our community has really supported us," Butler said.
Statistics show that every 9 seconds a woman in the U.S. is beaten or battered. Workers said a booth will be set up outside of the concert for anyone that have any questions about domestic abuse or need help.

Delaware Divorce LawsRESIDENCY REQUIREMENTS AND WHERE TO FILE:
To file for a divorce in Delaware, a person must have resided in the state for six months and be separated from the respective spouse (i.e. can't sleep in the same bedroom or have sexual relations). The paperwork may be filed in the county in which either spouse resides. [Based on Delaware Code - Title 13 - Chapters: 1504, 1507]LEGAL GROUNDS FOR DIVORCE:
The Court shall enter a decree of divorce whenever it finds that the marriage is irretrievably broken and that reconciliation is improbable due to:
- Voluntary separation.
- Separation caused by respondent's misconduct.
- Separation caused by respondent's mental illness.
- Separation caused by incompatibility.
Bona fide efforts to achieve reconciliation prior to divorce, even those that include, temporarily, sleeping in the same bedroom and resumption of sexual relations, shall not interrupt any period of living separate and apart, provided that the parties have not occupied the same bedroom or had sexual relations with each other within the 30-day period immediately preceding the day the Court hears the petition for divorce. [Based on Delaware Code - Title 13 - Chapters: 1505]SIMPLIFIED OR SPECIAL DIVORCE PROCEDURES:
If the person responding to the petition does not file an Answer within 20 days of receiving the Petition for Divorce OR files an Answer agreeing with the request for a divorce, the petition is uncontested, and the action will be tried without further notice by the Family Court. [Based on Delaware Code - Title 13 - Chapters: 1508]LEGAL SEPARATION:
Under Delaware law, in order to be legally separated, you and your spouse must not share the same bedroom or have sexual relations with one another, except for attempts at reconciliation.

No party who objects shall be forced to submit to counseling, and all counseling or interviews shall be confidential and privileged and only the fact that further efforts at reconciliation are impractical or not in the interest of the parties shall be reported to the Court.
In any case where there are living children of the marriage up to the age of 17, the Court shall order that the parties pay for and participate in a "Parenting Education Course" unless the Court, upon motion, determines that participation in the course is deemed not necessary. Parties do not have to attend the same course. [Based on Delaware Code - Title 13 - Chapters: 1507 and 1517]PROPERTY DISTRIBUTION:
Delaware is an equitable distribution state, meaning that the property and debts acquire during the marriage will be distributed equitably. The court shall assign the marital property between the parties without regard to marital misconduct, in such proportions as the Court deems just after considering all relevant factors including:
- The length of the marriage.

- Whether the property was acquired by gift (Property transferred by gift from 1 spouse to the other during the marriage is marital property.)
- The debts of the parties.
- Tax consequences.
Property acquired by an individual spouse by bequest, devise or descent or by gift, except gifts between spouses, provided the gifted property is titled and maintained in the sole name of the donee spouse, or a gift tax return is filed reporting the transfer of the gifted property in the sole name of the donee spouse or a notarized document, executed before or contemporaneously with the transfer, is offered demonstrating the nature of the transfer.

I've purchased a few of these over the years. They guarantee their tools and for good reason! They offer free sharpening, but it isn't worth it for me to send it to the US to get sharpened so I just buy new ones each time. These are very very precise tweezers!! It is the only brand I buy because it gets every single little hair, even the impossibly short ones! They're expensive but sooo worth the price. Very high quality tool!!!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Bought this after reading reviews. It really gets the little hairs! I can't use any of the other tweezers now though...keep pinching myself. Bought a backup just in case!
These get every single hair I pluck..not missing one! Great size, great slant, and great assortment of colors! The lighted magnifying mirror and plastic tube case that mine came with are very handy as well...definitely recommended!
I'm in the minority here...I HATED these tweezers! I have a pair of Revlon ones that I bought years ago that still work perfectly and I think they cost me maybe $6. I picked up a pair of Tweezerman at Bed Bath and Beyond one day because I was curious after reading years of hype. And I took them back the next day. They wouldn't grab any hair that I tried-long or short. Big waste of money for an over-hyped product.

I these little babies...it one of those things that you just dont understand why they're so expensive until you buy them yourself. Let's just say that tweezing doesn't hurt so much anymore.
Got this as a gift in the zebra print. This is the best tweezer period. The slant tip gets every hair ingrown or thin hair. My favorite tweezer of all time. And I like that it comes in different prints
This is the best tweezer brand I have bought. I own the pointed tip ones which are great for pulling tiny, fine hairs. They are pricier but worth it.
Really good tweezers. Dunno why I'm not as psyched about them as everybody else, I guess my previous no-brand tweezers must have been pretty good as well, so I expected the difference between them to be immense but it's really not. That's irrelevant though, these are probably the best tweezers I've tried and I'd be curious to try the other versions of them too (slanted etc). They're precise enough to catch small hairs/poke at just-peeking ones and all that jazz. Recommended.
There are many things I have purchased based on MUA reviews and regretted or returned (Shu Uemura eyelash curler, I'm lookin' at you). This is not one of them. These tweezers ARE everything they're cracked up to be! After purchasing and re-purchasing the basic Revlon tweezers for the last 30-something years, I finally got tired of having to grab a hair 3-5 times before it would come out. My eyebrows basically grow ONTO my eyelid, I have to tweeze daily or look like Ed Asner, so it is a lot of work. On a whim I saw Tweezerman in the store and just went for it. These tweezers get the hair FIRST TIME, EVERY TIME. Even stubs, even tiny thin hairs. It has changed my life! Tip if you're cheap like me: I got the travel tweezers for $12 instead of springing the full $20 and they're just as good. On top of that, they come in cute colors and designs! Love.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I'll never forget the time I accidentally dropped my brand new Tweezerman directly into the air vent/register in my bathroom floor. It all happened so fast, I just couldn't believe my eyes! I went through the stages of grief...and then immediately ran out and bought myself another Tweezerman.
I've been using Tweezerman tweezers since, well, forever. Yes, they are pricey compared to others out there, but after using Tweezerman, I doubt you'll ever want to go back to using anything else. Because these make the competitors seem like pure garbage. The tweezers, given that they are sharp (and the company will do this for you, at no charge, if yours need sharpening), will literally get EVERY hair, no matter how tiny or fine it may be. Basically, they're like the Rolls-Royce of tweezers.

Why did she not get the Nobel Peace Prize?

Malala Yousafzai, this very brave girl, who shames the rest of us, is now clinging to life. She is an example of the war on women.
The Nobel Committee seems to reject such bravery, and pivots to the EU, which is crumbling in front of us.
I am waiting to hear American women come to the defense of this very brave girl in Pakistan. Or do they just ignore the Ann Franks in front of them?
This is a very naked moral issue for Americans, especially our women. Will they come to the defense of this brave girl?
on Oct 13, 2012 at 7:05 pm
Gary, it is so refreshing to see a rightwinger praising us women. Thanks so much!
Of course, it helps if she has been shot in the head, as in this case. If she is alive and speaking up for women's rights, we're not so sure about praising that, right?
on Oct 13, 2012 at 7:20 pm
Probably because her story is recent and ongoing. The submissions to the Nobel committee probably need to be made months ahead of time. She is brave, she is fighting for her life, and she is becoming more and more well known in a very short space of time.

>Gary, it is so refreshing to see a rightwinger praising us women
I am not praising American women, just hoping that they will stand up for this brave girl in Pakistan, and oppose the war on women.
The Nobel Committee, as well as American women, could have stood up for this brave girl. But they have not. At least not yet.

Here's the BBC article today Web Link
on Oct 13, 2012 at 8:01 pm
"The Nobel Committee, as well as American women, could have stood up for this brave girl. But they have not. At least not yet."
The nominations were submitted months ago, so you can't blame them at all (nice try, though). Hopefully she pulls through as the Nobel Prizes, by policy, are never awarded posthumously.
on Oct 14, 2012 at 7:50 am
>The nominations were submitted months ago, so you can't blame them at all
Malala Yousafzai has been well known for about three years, with BBC published diary, plenty of time for the Nobel Committee to consider her. She has had a target on her back the entire time. She took on those who are fighting the war against women. The Nobel Committe could have supported her, perhaps giving her some protection. Instead, they made another ridiculous award, to the EU. Shame on them.

Gary doesn't praise American women. "I am not praising American women..."

I marvel at all of the wonderful people I have met through this blog and all of the kindness I have witnessed as I visit my favourite blogspots and share comments and doses of inspiration.
I was the recipient of a random act of kindness. My friend Sherry runs the Dragonfly Suites and Spa (imagine the coincidence - we nicknamed our own house the dragonfly) and after seeing my cowboy Christmas tree, she sent along an especially nice parcel. It contained the cutest vintage Christmas cards...
... aren't they something? They belonged to her mother and I am honoured to have them. I think I'm going to make them into a cute banner for the cowboy tree so people can see them and enjoy them, or maybe string them across my mantle with some checked ribbon!
And guess what else? She sent a tiny cookie sheet - a miniature with a bow on it. If you look closely, you can spot it in with the cards. And below, have a gander at the lovely apron Sherry included. It is the most delightful vintage christmas pattern. It's been well used and loved someone special, you can tell by the little spots on it, and that to me just adds to the charm and the sentimental value of it. It makes me want to go into my kitchen and make mashed potatoes with gravy.
Thank you, Sherry! I love this whole parcel. You were so kind to share these treats with me and I will take good care of them!

Jed Rowen: Indie Horror Actor
My good friend Marc Lougee, the creative filmmaker behind The Pit and the Pendulum, recently attended a horror convention to promote his film and he returned with a new group of contacts that he introduced me to so that their work might be shared in the blogosphere. With this post we meet Jed Rowen, a very busy actor who has done quite a bit of work in independent horror films.
TheoFantastique: Jed, welcome to TheoFantastique! You are the first actor to be interviewed here, so thanks for plowing new ground. Before we get into specifics of your career and your extensive work in horror films, would you classify yourself as a fan of this genre, and if so, how did you come to be a fan and so involved as an actor in this genre?
Jed Rowen: I have always been a fan of horror films. think it started years ago when I first saw The Exorcist as a kid. But later on I really fell in love with the genre after seeing the more horror/comedy/absurdist films like Texas Chainsaw Massacre II and Evil Dead II. Those two films in particular hit a chord with me because of their over-the-top, farcical romps. I like absurdity.When I moved to Los Angeles about eight years ago from the Bay Area where I did theater, I only had one film credit. It was a great credit…I played a homeless guy in a Hong Kong film with Maggie Cheung that was #1 in the box office over there and was theatrically released all over Asia…but it was only one credit. I realized after butting my head against the wall trying to get cast in big Hollywood productions that low-budget horror films were actually a more realistic way for a no-name actor to get in real films that got distribution that were in stores that were seen by the general public. So I set my sights on that.
TheoFantastique: How many films have you been credited in, and what are some of your favorites?
Jed Rowen: I have credited parts in 62 films. A couple of those are Internet web-series and one television credit. But 62 sounds better than 59, so I'm padding it a little. My favorite features that I've been in are Attitude For Destruction, Werewolf in a Women's Prison, and Zombie Farm. My favorite horror shorts I've been in are Serial Killer Scavenger Hunt, Terror Toons 1.5 and Cry of the Mummy. I have been in a lot of other great films but these three features and three shorts I truly adore because they fit into my love of the absurd, and to me they actually transcend the regular horror genre and have become iconic film statements all on their own.
TheoFantastique: You appeared at Starland Convention as part of the Horrorfest two years in a row, last year attending the premiere of Zombie Farm, and this year for the screening of Attitude for Destruction. What are your feelings about being a fixture in the independent horror film community, and how have fans responded to these two films in particular?
Jed Rowen: The horror community, ironically, is by far the most nurturing and supportive of all the film communities for an actor. The fans and the filmmakers in the horror world are the most open to new talent, and there are countless websites and magazines and conventions that support not only the big movies but also independent horror films and the people involved with them. I feel very lucky to be a fixture in the indie horror community and hopefully, if things keep going well, will remain there for the rest of my acting career.
The Starland/Horrorfest convention in Denver has been one of the very best things that has ever happened to me. It is a thrill to be an official guest at such a prestigious convention whose past guests include Tom Cruise, William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy and Francis Ford Coppola. But it is also run by very classy and wonderful people who make me feel like royalty and who are very much in my corner. I was surprised at how many fans at the convention this past April actually remembered Zombie Farm from the year before and were still excited about that film. This year's screening of Attitude for Destruction at the convention received a ton of enthusiasm and positive feedback from fans at the convention as well. I'm pretty much 2 for 2 with screenings there. I can't wait to go back next year.
TheoFantastique: You have also done some non-horror films. Can you tell us a little about these?
Jed Rowen: I have been in some real non-horror gems that have won awards and have screened at many film festivals around the world. At the top of the list is definitely The Wright Stuff series in which I played a bunch of different characters. My favorite is the second Wright Stuff called Chinese Take-Out where I played Dr. Fu Man Chu. The Wright Stuff series won Best Comedy at the DragonCon Convention in Atlanta, GA, and has been in film festivals from Germany to Canada to all over the States. Everyone's crazy about them. You can see them online. I was also in an amazing art-house film about a ballerina called Tiny Dancer. This is a beautiful short film that actually screened at Cannes and also in festivals all over the country. I played a very effeminate stage manager in that one. I was also in a real experimental film called Cineme Fabrique #1 that won for best experimental film at the Bare Bones Film Festival in Oklahoma, and I won an acting award for that film at Bare Bones as well. All of these films I just mentioned were directed by Ford Austin. He also, of course, directed the horror feature I was in, Attitude For Destruction. And he just finished shooting another drama called Grappling with Your Demons, and I had a small role in that one as well. Ford is a amazingly talented filmmaker of extraordinary range who can do it all very well. I'm ecstatic to be in his films. While we're on the subject, I've also done a couple of other non-horror films worth mentioning. Ulli Lommel, who directed me in the horror film Black Dahlia, recently made a drama called 17 with David Carradine. It was a real thrill to work with Ulli again and to be in a film with someone like Carradine. Another movie I was in worth mentioning is called Beauty Sleep Symphony with Dee Wallace-Stone, a quirky drama directed by Carl Darchuck. And, finally, later this year I'm finishing up Paul Bunnell's sci-fi musical extravaganza, The Ghastly Love of Johnny X, an amazing black-and-white 35mm film that is going to blow everyone away. I'm real jazzed up to be in these films. While it's great to be in horror films, it's nice to branch out from time to time.
TheoFantastique: What projects do you have underway?
Jed Rowen: I'm starring in another horror film called Dead Friday with the incomparable Randall Malone which Dennis Devine is directing. Dennis directed me in Sawblade, in which I played the main killer starring alongside Reggie Bannister. Sawblade came out great and I'm very psyched to be in another Dennis Devine film. Dave Sterling is producing this one, and Dave has been a big supporter of me and my acting career. I've been in more than a dozen of his films and
it was a real stroke of good fortune to become involved with him and his, as he terms it, 'movie factory.' I just wrapped another one of Dave's films a few weeks ago called Xmas with Felissa Rose. Dave thankfully keeps me very busy.I'm also acting in a web-series directed and produced by Freddy Nager called The Worldwide Scoop. I play world-adventurer/investigative reporter Theo Chuckerson. We've shot the first episode already and will be shooting the next one in late May. The series is hilarious, and is going to premiere online imminently. That is pretty much it for right now. To sum it all up, I'm really glad I'm acting with such an assortment of great filmmakers and great projects and there's nothing else I'd rather be doing.
TheoFantastique: Jed, thanks again for taking some time to talk about your work and career. I look forward to your continued successes in general, but particularly in the indie horror niche.

We have developed and maintain the Global Support Center, a completely secure and customizable web-based application that enables organizations to streamline their technical support process.
The application brings balance and discipline for harmonizing requirements, development, maintenance, and sustainment to support fielding and support of software intensive systems. Problem and resolution repositories, electronic access to software, technical publications, and documents, and an interactive user forum provide higher readiness and shorter response times to the implementation of changes and problem resolutions.
The Global Support Center ensures that problems and the need for changes are controlled and organized, historically maintained, and expedited through predetermined configuration control and management processes in support of the Warfighter.
The Global Support Center Problem reports are controlled and organized along predetermined management and system processes, synchronizing with requirements, and implemented to ensure that they operate synergistically from an integrated operational perspective in support of the Warfighter.
It's a 24x7 Electronic Distribution & Virtual Help Desk System.
This system was designed specifically to support a wide variety of DoD hardware systems and software applications, thus setting it apart from any commercial help desk application. The system complies with all DoD standards and restrictions for Internet based code and architecture. Most commercial products currently use either unaccredited Java Applets or ActiveX, both of which are restricted by the DoD in publicly accessible websites. Additionally, this system is completely customizable to meet the specific needs of any organization. Problem tracking and resolution has become significantly more efficient within organizations that are using the Global Support Center.
The system is a simple but powerful application that makes it easy to track and resolve reported problems by communicating instantly with administrators, subject matter experts, managers, and end users regardless of their location. The system provides users an easy and effective way to either search a database for a resolution to their problem or to submit the problem for evaluation and resolution by a subject matter expert.

As expected, the San Diego Padres non-tendered catcher Josh Bard, making him an unrestricted free agent. With San Diego the last three seasons, Bard had tremendous success as a semi-regular in 2006 (partially with Boston where he infamously struggled catching Tim Wakefield's knuckler), a good year as a regular in 2007 (San Diego), and a horrible, injury-filled season in 2008:
2006 Age 28 (284 PA) 333/404/502 .410 wOBA
2007 Age 29 (443 PA) 285/364/404 .344 wOBA
2008 Age 30 (178 PA) 202/279/270 .255 wOBA
Career 265/333/395
For those who only look at the most recent season's results, you can stop reading now. For everyone else, Bard has very good plate discipline for a catcher and acceptable power. Bard spent half his playing time the last three years at Petco, an extreme pitcher's park, which makes his 2006 and 2007 more impressive, and his 2008 more explainable. His 2008 stats were also hurt by severe bad luck – despite a healthy line drive rate of 21.6%, his BABIP was .230 (about .100 below his expected BABIP). Moving to the American League would hurt his stats, but the move away from Petco (career 245/346/366) would more than offset that.
Bard, who turns 31 before next opening day, probably will never come close to repeating his 2006 and is not good enough to start 135 games each year, but he is a good bet to bounce back and hit well enough to play regularly in a Gregg Zaun role. He is a switch hitter, and while he historically has been better from the right side (career 288/341/443), he is adequate from the left side for a catcher (256/330/376). Defensively, he has problems with the running game, but more importantly, does fine with blocking balls. He made $2.2 million last year, and considering he just cleared waivers after the Padres took him off their 40-man roster, he likely will sign in the $1-$2 million range next season. Bard would represent an immediate upgrade over Miguel Olivo and could serve as a stopgap starter if John Buck does not rebound from his lousy 2008.

HATTIESBURG, Miss. (KNOE 8 News/AP) - The American Red Cross is moving its disaster supply center from Hattiesburg, Miss. to Dallas, partly it says as a cost-saving maneuver.
Sandra Hodge, CEO of the American Red Cross Mississippi Region, said the organization made the decision in an effort to be "good stewards of the donor dollar."
The Red Cross disaster supply center has been located in the Hattiesburg-Forrest County Industrial Park since 2005. The Red Cross' lease on this space will expire June 30.
Officials say the move to a large metropolitan area will give the Red Cross access to better and more cost-effective transportation options for its supplies.
The Red Cross is keeping an emergency warehouse in Hattiesburg. Smaller stocks of relief supplies will be placed in multiple locations across the Mississippi Region.
