Rhinoplasty is an operation that changes the shape of your nose.
This operation may be done to improve the appearance, size, or angle of your nose. For example, it may make your nose smaller or larger. It can also be used to correct deformities and blockages caused by injury, disease, or birth defects. Sometimes it may be done to make it easier for you to breathe.
Your provider will talk to you about why you want the surgery and the results you can expect.
Your healthcare provider will take photographs of your face and nose to help plan the operation.
Follow your healthcare provider's instructions about not smoking before and after the procedure. Smokers heal more slowly after surgery. They are also more likely to have breathing problems during surgery. For these reasons, if you are a smoker, you should quit at least 2 weeks before the procedure. It is best to quit 6 to 8 weeks before surgery.
If you are taking daily aspirin for a medical condition, ask your provider if you need to stop it before your surgery. If you need a minor pain reliever in the week before surgery, choose acetaminophen rather than aspirin, ibuprofen, or naproxen. This helps avoid extra bleeding during surgery.
Follow any other instructions your provider gives you. If you are to have general anesthesia, eat a light meal, such as soup or salad, the night before the procedure. Do not eat or drink anything after midnight and the morning before the procedure. Do not even drink coffee, tea, or water.
You will be given a local or general anesthetic to keep you from feeling pain during the operation. A local anesthetic is a drug that numbs the part of your body where you will have the surgery. A general anesthetic will relax your muscles and put you to sleep. You may be given a sedative and a narcotic before you receive a local or general anesthetic. This will help you be more relaxed, and you will have less pain right after the procedure.
Your surgeon will reshape the cartilage and bone inside your nose. Most of the cuts are made inside your nose to limit noticeable scars. Sometimes a small cut is made on the bottom of the nose, where it attaches to the upper lip. This cut is not usually noticeable after you heal.
Sometimes bone or cartilage is removed from the nose, and sometimes bone and cartilage grafts are added. Grafts can be taken from another part of your body, or a synthetic material may be used.
The operation lasts 1 or 2 hours, depending on the amount of work that is needed.
After your nose is reshaped, the surgeon may pack thin pieces of gauze into each side of your nose to control bleeding. You will have a small protective splint taped over your nose to hold the reshaped bones and cartilage in place. You will wear the splint for 5 to 10 days. A small drip pad will be taped under your nose to catch any drainage or blood that seeps through the gauze.
You should sleep with your head raised. This helps decrease swelling and bleeding.
Avoid all heavy activity for at least 1 week. Don't push on or jar the nose while it is healing. Don't blow your nose. It is OK to draw a breath back into your nose and swallow.
If you have packing in your nose, your loss of smell will lessen your appetite. You may prefer a liquid or soft diet, but you can eat whatever you feel like eating.
You will be breathing through your mouth until the packing is taken out of your nose. This will make your mouth dry, so drink lots of fluids.
If you have packing, it will be removed in 1 to 7 days. After the packing is removed, don't blow your nose for 48 hours. Also try not to cough too hard. Blowing your nose or coughing may start bleeding.
If you have a nosebleed, lean your head forward (so the blood does not go down your throat) and put gauze over your nostrils. If the bleeding does not stop within 10 minutes, call your healthcare provider. You may need to go to the emergency room to have the bleeding stopped.
For 1 to 2 weeks after surgery your face, nose, and eyes will be bruised, swollen, and discolored. Ice packs will help reduce the swelling, bruising, and discomfort. Your healthcare provider may prescribe medicine to reduce drainage and a mild pain reliever for pain.
After some of the swelling and bruising is gone, your healthcare provider may take pictures of your nose and face so that there is a before-and-after record of your operation. It may take weeks or months for the final improvement to be apparent.
Ask your healthcare provider what other steps you should take and when you should come back for a checkup.
You should ask your healthcare provider how these risks apply to you.

Sensar Oscillation
Dear Winegard Customer, Winegard Company has received reports that some of our Sensar II television reception antennas may be emitting spurious signals.

Please note that this problem will not be apparent to you the consumer, as it typically does not affect the performance of the antenna. However, if this problem exists with your antenna it may cause interference to the two-way radio signals of other parties.
As part of our normal program of long-term quality assurance, Winegard has been surveying various RV campgrounds, dealers, and rallies throughout the United States. When a problem is identified with a Winegard Sensar II antenna, it is replaced with a new antenna free of charge and a renewed two-year warranty.
Winegard continues to search actively for and replace potentially affected antennas. Winegard is a responsible company and takes this matter very seriously. Customer satisfaction is extremely important to us.

AMR Skyrockets, US Airways Falls Back on Merger News
CHARLOTTE, N.C. ( TheStreet) -- Investors were bidding up shares in bankrupt American Airlines (AAMRQ.PK) and selling off US Airways (LCC) on Thursday after the two carriers said they would merge.
In mid-afternoon trading, American shares were gaining 56%, up 70 cents to $2. US Airways share were trading down 9%, or $1.40, to $13.26.
The American shares were benefiting from the disclosure that shareholders would get at least 3.5% of the new company and possibly more, depending upon whether creditor claims were fully satisfied. "Having equity created for existing shareholders (in a bankrupt company) is, as you know, extraordinary," AMR CEO Tom Horton said Thursday, on a conference call with analysts and reporters.
"Once the unsecured creditors are fully satisfied, any incremental value that gets created goes to the equity holders, over and above that 3.5%," Horton said.CRT Capital Group analyst Kevin Starke said that if the AMR shareholders receive 3.5% of the $11 billion estimated value of the newly created American, the shares would be worth about $1.16. Today's higher valuation means "there seems to be some expectation of upside, either through the warrant that they may get or through striking a better deal," Starke said, in an email. Starke was the first analyst to perceive that the AMR shares may have value.Typically, shares in a bankrupt company are cancelled, with no remuneration to shareholders, so that the company can issue new shares when it emerges. As for US Airways shares, JP Morgan analyst Jamie Baker wrote Thursday that the merger "was broadly anticipated, suggesting a post-deal pullback as some sell the news." Baker said airline stocks in general may be set to fall by 10% to 15%. A second factor, besides the merger announcement, is that "fuel prices have crept steadily higher since most (analysts) last marked their models, likely leaving consensus estimates too high. "But while fuel has the ability to disrupt individual quarterly results, there's nothing to suggest the broader structural thesis is in jeopardy," Baker wrote. "Put differently, the long-term profit prognosis remains the best we've seen in 20 years."

RS Migration Group Minutes
February 20, 2003
Loads and migration schedule
Rich reported that authority related issues are delaying FCLA's giving the go-ahead for a further review of Subset Load 3 and slowing progress with the full test load. The only full test load FCLA has been working on is UF's. The holdup doesn't have to do with UF's data - it is a system-wide dataload concern. The authority problems coupled with earlier slowdowns getting the production server up and running have affected the overall migration schedule. Martha and members of the LMS Steering Committee are scheduled to meet with FCLA to discuss the migration schedule on Monday, March 3. ExLibris is conducting advanced systems training with FCLA staff on Monday, February 24 and Tuesday, February 25, which should help FCLA have a better idea of a timeline moving forward.
Even if the migration schedule is adjusted, UF's ExLibris training schedule will not change.
In response to a question from Cecilia, Martha explained that the library directors have to approve any changes to the STP (Switch to Production) dates. An STP date change would likely necessitate a change in the dates scheduled for the NOTIS freeze on various operations. Martha remarked that there are only a few times during the year that are appropriate for STP because of the disruption to patron service. If the STP does not happen by mid-summer, it might have to be postponed to the next major school break in December.
Acquisitions data review for Subset Load 3
Michele announced that the Acquisitions data review for Subset Load 3 is completed and went very well. A limited number of Acquisitions notes migrated from NOTIS to ALEPH, but this was as planned. Donna Alsbury is investigating our report that 10-15 fundcodes did not convert. Michele mentioned that Donna has referred to a subscription module, which might be helpful to Documents and Gifts & Exchange's workflows. Donna should know more after going through ExLibris training on February 24-25.
Acquisitions functional training
Michele explained that the Acquisitions functional training, held on February 18-19, did not adequately prepare the participants to train other staff. While coverage of the ordering process was satisfactory and included useful exercises, the presentation re. invoicing and claiming was rushed, complicated, and lacking in exercises. As a result, the Acquisitions trainers are not ready to train other staff without a lot of review on their own first.
Cecilia pointed out that UF really needs to talk to FCLA about the system configuration. It was apparent in the Acquisitions training that certain defaults should be setup, rather than relying on staff to enter data. The current migration schedule gives March 4 as the date by when data conversion decisions are to be finalized by UF and FCLA, but discussions need to take place before decisions are finalized, and it's not clear when those discussions will happen.
Rich mentioned that the Circulation functional training was very positively received, but that might be due in part to the fact that the Circulation module is in a new presentation format, which minimizes the need to open multiple separate windows. This new format (similar to the look and feel of Microsoft Outlook) is expected to be available for the other modules in ALEPH's version 16 release.
In-house training plans
Betsy announced that the Cataloging trainers have met to begin brainstorming how best to provide cataloging training for staff. The trainers decided that they will each take responsibility for covering the appropriate aspects of the cataloging curriculum for their respective units rather than dividing responsibility so that each trainer covers a particular aspect of the cataloging curriculum across all units. The trainers are finetuning the list of staff who will need cataloging training. In addition to the ExLibris documentation, they have begun to review documentation and information from other ALEPH institutions including Harvard University, the University of Minnesota, and the University of Maryland.
Michele reiterated what she said earlier in the meeting about the Acquisitions trainers' efforts following their functional training.
Barbara mentioned that she and Lily are planning to have an overview session with Reference and Collection Management staff as well as one-on-one meetings.
MSL training room
Betsy reported that trainers have asked for an orientation to the MSL training room. Rich responded that the room setup is very straightforward and the trainers should feel at ease using the equipment, etc. with minimal instruction. Rich will ask Denise to create written guidelines for using the room.
Martha offered to get Outlook setup to handle online reservations to use the room. All requests will go to Rich.
Betsy asked Rich if all the ALEPH trainers could be given fob access to the MSL training room. Rich explained that currently fob access is restricted to a small group of staff. If ALEPH trainers are not given fob access, they will still be able to schedule the room so that it is open at the time they need to use it.
Library West Room 148 computers do not have ALEPH software loaded (except the instructor's workstation), and Rich said there are no plans to load ALEPH on those computers.
Planning for NOTIS freeze
Betsy reported that various staff are investigating possible ways to continue cataloging during the NOTIS freeze. Dot explained she is researching whether or not we could catalog in ALEPH (ExLibris University and/or UF Test) using CLARR or some other method for uploading the record file to OCLC, then save the OCLC file for later loading in UF Production.
Based on Dot's suggestion, Betsy contacted FCLA to find out whether FCLA could create or reuse a separate NOTIS partition for cataloging purposes during the freeze. Mary Ann O'Daniel responded that it would be a difficult, time-consuming process to setup a NOTIS partition, but that we could possibly use the UF region of nercicst, the NOTIS test database.
Jimmie reported that she is coordinating a group of catalogers who are looking into the feasibility of our using OCLC's CatME software (http://www.oclc.org/catme/) to catalog during the freeze.
The next meeting is scheduled for Monday, March 17, 2:00-3:30pm, Library East Conference Room.
Be prepared for notification of further dataload review for Subset Load 3 (All)
Meet with FCLA on March 3 (Michele, Betsy, Jan, Cecilia, Mae, Lori, Rich, and Martha)
Continue to investigate freeze activities (Dot, Jimmie, etc.)
Attend upcoming ExLibris training sessions:
March 4-5: Cataloging Functional
March 25-26: Serials Functional
Plan for functional training for staff (functional trainers)

"USAID Develops a Bad Reputation Among Some Foreign Leaders," read a May 7 Los Angeles Times headline, followed by the subhead: The U.S. Agency for International Development doesn't just offer aid to the poor, it also promotes democracy, which is seen as meddlesome or even subversive. Fighting poverty and spreading democracy–what's not to like? And so, the report seems to suggest, there's something a little off about foreign leaders, nine in recent years, who've expelled the agency. Why else would Bolivian President Evo Morales expel an anti-poverty group from his "impoverished" country, if he wasn't just a little bit crazy? […]

Jean-François is an up-and-coming winemaker in Touraine who we've become a big fan of over the past few years. His Alliance des Generations is an earthy blend of Cabernet Franc and 20% of the local version of Malbec called Côt. The fruit comes from vines aged between 35 to 50 years of age, aged in barrel for 18 to 24 months and then let to rest for another eight months in vat. The wine is cherry red and always very masculine--smoky and savory, with dense currant and nut notes on the nose and palate. There's coffee and tobacco on the mid-palate and tangy cherry fruit, with grippy tannins that resolve with air or a little decanting. Still, it's remarkably fresh and food-friendly. Try it with something gamey.
Below is a listing of the wine review scores we frequently reference in our notes. While these sources remain an excellent source of information, we always recommend that you trust your own palate. Scores in these publications often represent the personal taste of an individual critic, which may not always coincide with your own. We have a huge team of excellent wine professionals that can match wines you've had in the past with new arrivals that meet your flavor profile.

How can I encourage my child's confidence and self-esteem? Pam: "High self-esteem forms the foundations of lifelong relationships. So if a child from a very young age learns to internalise positive feelings about themselves, it will enable them to cope with life's trials and difficulties and feel more positive and optimistic about dealing with things that they're going to encounter. As a parent, you must never forget how important you are in that child's life, and you can enable them to build a high self-esteem from a very young age. How you can do that is by lots of praise and lots of love and attention and also lots of play. Play is very important in a child's development. The secret, really, to maintain high self-esteem is to praise wherever possible, and if you do have to correct the child, to do it in a caring way. It's important not to ridicule or shame the child when they're exhibiting behaviour that you don't want to see, because this can be damaging to their self-esteem. And the way to perhaps approach this is to model the child or to show to the child the behaviour that you do want to see. Distraction often works very well, so perhaps remove them from the situation. That also keep them safe, but they learn that there are boundaries in place. It's never too late to build your child's self-esteem, and perhaps if it has been difficult in the early months, and you feel you need a little bit of support, as to where to go to build your child's self-esteem, then do contact your health visitor who will be able to help with that."

Dubai Fashion Week – Glamour and Glory!
The Dubai Fashion Week is a mega-fashion event that brings together the glitz and glamour of the fashion world not only from the Middle East and neighbouring regions, but with fashion elements from everywhere in the world. Dubai Fashion Week takes place, as its name suggests, in Dubai, which has today become a fashion capital of a high standing. Fashion weeks have become a mainstay of the fashion industry over time – a tradition of displaying the byword in style every season on the world's most beautiful models wearing the creations of the most visionary fashion designers. While the hottest fashion weeks take place in the fashion capitals of the world – Paris, Milan, London and New York – many upcoming centres of fashion host their own fashion weeks proudly, of which the Dubai Fashion Week is a prime example.
The actual Dubai Fashion Week is a bi-annual event, that was first initiated in 2005-06. It brings together the most exclusive and promising in style in the Middle East and South Asia, and transforms the concept into a platform for several fashion designers. Most importantly, the Dubai Fashion Week takes a strong regional focus and gives a boost to the work of budding as well as established fashion designers from the whole region and beyond, including the UAE, Lebanon, Qatar, Egypt, Bahrain, India, Pakistan, London, Australia and more. Another stand-out feature of the Dubai Fashion Week is the prominence it gives to collections and haute couture that pay a strong homage to customs and traditions of the Middle East. Designer abayas, hijabs, jilbābs, gowns and more, fixed into flowing and austere cuts both in striking colours and subtle tones, float down the runway on stunning models at the Dubai Fashion Week, in all their splendour. For example, abayas with metallic embellishments, splashes of bright colour, floral detailing, crystal-studded patterns and many more inventive adaptations can be seen on the runways of the Dubai Fashion Week.
Names in fashion design like Nabrman, Barjis Chohan, Homa Qamar, Mohammed AlMarri's label Dan Couture, Hanayen, Mehwish Afzal, Abeer AlSuwaidi, Cartas, Dabya and Wafa Al Kathiri echo with those of Meher & Riddhima, Jaya Misra, Sakina Mohsin and Shrekahnth, as they display a host of brilliantly-crafted collections to the who's who of the Middle East and Asian fashion world at Dubai Fashion Week. The collections at the Dubai Fashion Week are traditional yet modern, courageous and classy, elegant and full of spunk, and have easily managed to wow the style industry for the last half decade. Flashes of jewel colours, elegant pieces in black and white, luxuriant fabrics, revolutionary cuts, flowing drapes, exquisite detailing, all come together in a striking whirlwind of style at Dubai Fashion Week.
MOJEH proudly examines the very 'hautest' in every Dubai Fashion Week, bringing to its readers every hit and miss that walks down that runway. MOJEH chronicles style trends inspired from the visions presented at Dubai Fashion Week such that its fashion-forward readers are the very first to know what's hot and what's not every season.

The first Mason (DD‑191) was named for John Young Mason, born 18 April 1799, in Greene County, Va. Both a political leader and a diplomat, he was Secretary of the Navy first for President John Tyler from 1844 to 1845 and then for President James K. Polk from 1846 to 1849. As minister to France from 1853, he joined James Buchanan and Pierre Soulé, ministers, respectively, to Great Britain and Spain, in issuing on 18 October 1854 the famous Ostend Manifesto on the justification of seizing Cuba if Spain would not sell the colony to the United States. Mr. Mason died in Paris, France, 3 October 1859.
The second Mason (DE‑529) was named for Newton Henry Mason, born 24 December 1918 at New York City. He enlisted as a seaman in the Naval Reserve, 7 November 1940 and on 10 February 1941 was appointed an aviation cadet. Assigned to Fighting Squadron 3 in September, he died following aerial combat against Japanese forces in the Battle of the Coral Sea, 8 and 9 May 1942. Ensign Mason was posthumously awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross for his skill and courage in battle.
(Destroyer No. 191: dp. 1,190; l. 314'5"; b. 31'9"; dr. 9'3"; s. 35 k.; cpl. 101; a. 4 4", 3 3", 12 21" tt.; cl. Clemson)
The first Mason (Destroyer No. 191) was laid down by Newport News Shipbuilding & Drydock Co., Newport News, Va., 10 July 1918; launched 8 March 1919; sponsored by Miss Mary Mason Williams, great‑granddaughter of Secretary Mason and commissioned at Norfolk Navy Yard 28 February 1920, Lt. Carl F. Holden temporarily in command until Lt. Comdr. Hartwell C. Davis took command 8 March.
On 17 July Mason was designated DD‑191. After shakedown off Norfolk, she operated along the east coast for the next 2 years until she sailed for Philadelphia. As a result of the Washington Treaty of 6 February 1922 limiting naval armament, the destroyer decommissioned at the Philadelphia Navy Yard 3 July 1922.
After World War II broke out in Europe, Mason recommissioned 4 December 1939. Under terms of the "Destroyers for Bases" executive agreement of 2 September 1940, she became one of 50 overage four‑pipers turned over to Great Britain in exchange for 99‑year leases on strategic bases in the Western Hemisphere. Mason arrived Halifax, Nova Scotia, 2 October; decommissioned the 8th; and was transferred to the British Royal Navy as HMS Broadwater (H‑81) the next day.
On 15 October she departed Halifax for the British Isles, via St. John's, Newfoundland, arriving in the Clyde River, Scotland, the 26th for service with the 11th Escort Group, Western Approaches Command. During the early part of 1941 the indispensible destroyer escorted convoys, carrying troops and military supplies, around the Cape of Good Hope to the Middle East. She spent May and June at Southampton, England.
Assigned to the Newfoundland Escort Force in July, the ship patrolled the North Atlantic and guarded convoys against the German submarine "wolfpacks" into the fall of that year. Early in the morning of 17 October she attacked a U‑boat, one of a pack assaulting an American convoy SC‑48 some 400 miles south of Iceland. Twentyfour hours later she herself fell victim to torpedoes of U‑101 and sank at 1340 the same day.

Order in the next 8 hours 42 minutes and select next working day for delivery to mainland UK on Tuesday
At last - the purity and mildness of cotton wool & water, with the convenience of wipes.
DermaH20 WaterWipes contain none of the chemicals and synthetic additives found in other baby wipes.
And because the product essentially contains just purified water, it is likely to be much less irritating for a baby's skin than some commercial baby wipe products, which may cause nappy rash and skin conditions such as eczema in babies and young children.
Great wipes that dont have the typical baby wipe smell - which i hate!! Super gentle for a new born too.
We love these wipes and always buy them in bulk. Unlike all the other wipes that say they're pure or just like using water, these actually are almost just water, but with the convenience of wipes. Work really well - clean even really sticky ones very easily.
I use these wipes on my very sensitive skinned daughter who can't use anything other than water. The previous design were much thicker and felt softer and generally better quality. This new design leaves a lot to be desired in my opinion. The original problem of pulling out 4 wipes at a time still exists, which is very irritating. Since these are so expensive you'd expect that to have been addressed. I keep buying these since they're the only truly gentle wipes that don't irritate my daughter's sensitive skin. Water and cotton wool are fine for in the house but very impractical for out and about.
Really happy with wipes, do a good job and really reassuring to know that 99.9% water so very gentle on baby's bum.
My daughter is badly bothered by nappy rash. I had tried most of the so-called "sensitive" wipes without success, and then I discovered these. They make the world of difference! They do work out more expensive as they are never on offer at £1 the way a lot of other brands are, but definitely worth it. Wish I had known about them sooner!

Like our weather? Then you'll love climate change – or not
As we're all remarking in wonderment over our exceptionally mild late fall, it's fitting that the Finger Lakes Institute has devoted part of its December newsletter to climate change in our region.
The general theme: What we're seeing now is what we're going to get, and then some. Average temperatures in this part of the country have risen and will continue to do so, reports Art DeGaetano, a professor of earth and atmospheric science at Cornell University and director of the Northeast Regional Climate Center.
"By the 2080s, Rochester is expected to experience 14 summer days with temperatures > 95°F as compared to only 1 under current climate conditions. Only about 80 winter days will fall below 32°F as opposed to the more than 130 that are expected in today's climate. Two-inch rainfall events will be an every year occurrence in 2080, as opposed to every other year as we now expect. Snow cover will also continue to decline by as much as 25 to 50% by the end of the next century," he writes.

4 out of 7 people found this review helpful:Do NOT Watch Past ep 51I loved the plot and every single battle scene (the equipping of the cloth was a bit overly dramatic). I liked how it showed that the will of the protagonists could overcome obstacles except for at the end of the show where they fight the Gold Saints where they got over broken bones. But after episode 51 it became to much like power rangers for my taste the equipping of the cloth took 1.5x more ...Read more
34 out of 40 people found this review helpful:sub-par anime - don't get stuck having to continue to watch it.Here's how every episode goes.
Saints getting beat up. Saints burn cosmo. Saints turn tables and beat up enemy.
Every bone is my body is broken but I will never quit so I will burn my "cosmo" therefore giving me the ability to stand....and the guy who totally outclassed me a second ago is overpowered by my will....sure.
2 out of 5 people found this review helpful:It's okay...but not as good as Sailor moon.The anime itself is okay. The characters are interesting and the music is good. The only thing is (though it was made first) this anime is like a male version of sailor moon. Random (insert gender) jumping around in the same costume and beating up bad guys. It is a gender segregated version of power rangers. Wow. Not only is the anime like a ballet with punching, it also has no cute things ...Read more
2 out of 3 people found this review helpful:Decent but could betterI've gotten up to episode 20 as afar, but the first few episodes showed a bit of promise and liked the 80s style look that previous Saint stories had. It has got bright moments of promise but sometimes the protaginst Koga, is a bit of a dim witted fool who reminds of Ash from Pokemon for some reason, he always gets slapped about by gold and silver saints and doesn't learn his lesson half the ...Read more
4 out of 5 people found this review helpful:Ok Series, but could definitely be betterFirst couple of episodes was what drawn me into this series, with it's awesome looking fight scene and power-up. However, yes, there's a but, it got extremely dragging. I've only gotten up to episode 16, even till this point I've gotten sick of the dancing around everytime each of the characters change into their Cloths, and got to the point of screaming to myself "Oh hurry up man" - much like a ...Read more
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful:Good but could be better...Animation is good, but could have benefited from a deeper character development. Most fights have become predictable (no tactics or revelations just a sudden "I can do it!" feeling and done...), Still waiting on Ikki to save the day!!!!
1 out of 8 people found this review helpful:if dragon ball z was goodThis anime is like a really good dragon ball z and the cliff hangers are probably the worst this you could do to someone... like I dont even know how the saints can even continue from here...

3 out of 3 people found this review helpful:Has some bright moments, but not as good as Saint Seiya: The Lost CanvasI grew up with Saint Seiya and was excited about this! But unfortunately does not live up to my expectations.. This series does have it's bright moments, but is overshadowed by it's repetitive nature and slow paced storyline. I much preferred Saint Seiya: The Lost Canvas.
18 out of 19 people found this review helpful:Keep your expectations lowI would ditch any high expectations when going into this show. Especially if you watched the other Saint Seiya's. The first couple episodes I was really into it and excited. The animation style is done well and the starting concept was solid enough: boy hero on an adventure to grow stronger and save the girl from the big bad guy. However, now at episode 42, this show really doesn't do anything for ...Read more

I freaking hate the fact that in 2012, websites aren't allowing me to watch videos because I'm from Canada. Seriously? It's not like I'm from North Korea ..
I love Canadians! During 9/11, you guys let all of our planes land that were stuck out outside the country with no place to land when the no fly zone when up that day. Then you took our stranded passengers into your homes during that infamous week and fed and clothed them.
Then during the last winter olympics you treated us Americans as honored guests and we repaid that debt by letting you win the hockey gold medal.
In addition, when I buy a new book and look at the price of the book on the back cover, it always makes me feel better that the Canadian price is higher than I have to pay.
At the very least these websites should let you watch anything you want. Let me know who they are and I will raise some heck with them.

This design process focuses on forging and strengthening connections with different cultures and countries which would translate into positive benefits. A greater flow of information and ideas is always invigorating and gives new life to art-forms. The color palette in this image creates a peaceful sensation. The five squares in this image represent of each of the five continents of the world, and a harmony is created by the different overlapping lines and color. The colors and relaxed arrangement of the squares are shown to conceptually depict the idea of sharing and releasing thoughts, and the power of communication. Additionally, the connection between the squares is shown as a floating line that branches out from the thoughtful, open mind of a truly free spirit. The simplified tree pattern shows the strong root and non-separable moment of the present from the past. And the lines with organic movement floating free imply connections of the communication that are free of boundaries and restrictions.

The caravan – representing the U.S. Marshal's Service, Odessa police and fire, Ector County Sheriff's Office, Texas Department of Criminal Justice and the Texas Department of Public Safety and El Paso first responders, will arrive at about 12:30 p.m. Wednesday at the Nolan/Taylor County line on Interstate 20.

February's cool weather was the perfect opportunity for residents to showcase their winter style: combat boots, prints, spikes or studs that were just waiting to be worn in cooler temperatures. We wandered around the Wynwood Vintage Bike Festival, Brisky Gallery during the Life is Art exhibition, Art Walk and also snapped some of the customers at THE KULT, our fashion boutique. We eagerly await spring: the funnest, happiest time to experience Miami with Miami Music Week, Ultra Music Festival and Winter Music Conference around the corner. Yes, things are definitely heating up!

Top one: Bearfilms Midnight Growlers (musclebear: Wolf Getz)
I would love to find that Chance Caldwell scene. That style of fucking is amazing to a guy like me who could really use a good fuck right now
I don't like this guy already. Why would any guy want to degrade himself for such a show-off?
Woot thanks!
Chance did nothing but gay porn for the first 10 years of his career....
He just looks different today compared to 10 years ago. A lot more meat on his body now and matured looks.
according to an old article I read- Manshots, he was a wrestler in Czeachoslovakia- on the Olympic team in 84 that boycotted- not sure if remotely true- but that's what he said.

Hybrid fiber lighting.
Work category
Project combining sunlight, through Fiber optic cables, with LED light, for indoor lighting.
Detailed Description:
An optic collector is leading sunlight, into buildings, trough fiber optic cables. When the sun doesn't shine, Energy efficient LEDs takes over, which means that the system is efficient 24-7. We have developed different armatures. They were shown in an exhibition, different places in Denmark. Armatures are both for working and for therapeutic lighting. Experiments have been done with textiles woven form optic fibers, too. The outcome has led to a second project.
Known drawbacks of design:
The optical solar collectors are expensive, making the competition with traditional lighting, hard.
Designed in:
Status of realization:
Education, Energy, Environment, Government, Habitation, Lifestyle, Network, Money
Region of use:
Africa, Asia, Europe, North America, South America
Some of the significant results from this project is a construction of a hybrid system based on a solar optical system and LED technology as well as design and development of fixtures that could compose both daylight and artificial light. We have made different designs. Primary woven textiles for therapeutic lighting and armatures for working light ( hanging Table lamp, as the optic fibers comes from the roof of the building ) and a light source that can replace a bulb, in for instance a PH lamp. The designs are shown in Picture 1
The designs improve life, because they can submit to a lower co2 emission and a lower consumption of electricity. In this project we calculated a reduction of 59 % electricity. It could have a large impact on the energy we use. Try to think of how many lights are switched on in the supermarket, office, school or workplaces during daytime.
The project was targeted about a smaller organic footprint. If we use less energy, it's good for all. This technology, leading sun into buildings, via optic fibers, are usable in renewing, and in places where you can't mount a window in the ceiling. In new buildings, we must hope that the architects are thinking green. The armatures can be used in 2 ways. One way is transportation of light directly through a fiber optic able to an armature, distributing the collected light in dark arrears, supported by LED light, when the sun doesn't reach the collector on the roof. Another way is to use it with one of the textile armatures. In this case the effects are more of the therapeutic kind, and can influence mood, or give a good feeling, when the light is following the sun in intensity, as when we are outside and a cloud goes in front of the sun.
Proven and/or potential effects:
We have shown above that the introduction of fiber lighting systems can result in a saving of 36% compared to our functional unit. In the perspective of positioning properties or product-service perspective, fiber lighting systems contribute to the following: Reduction of heating and thus reduction of the need for air-conditioning in summer, Reduction of CO2 emissions, as in the case of primary energy reduction.

Is the design protected by patent or ip registration?
How has the development of the design been financed hereunto?
External investments
Is there a plan for future investments?
Is there in-house competencies to secure market roll out of the design, with regards to investment, distribution, sales, etc.?

The "monte" gets a bad rap as being a lifeless desert, but on this nature walk, we'll see that the monte is actually full of life! This will be a very low-key walk on our Mesquite Bend trail: we will walk up to 2 miles if people are up for it, and a shorter distance if not. On the way, we'll look for birds, lizards, insects, plants, and anything else we can spot! Binoculars will be provided, or bring your own. Wear good footwear and sun protection, and bring drinking water.
Meet in front of the Boat Ramp Restrooms. All ages welcome!

Cielo keeps it simple—but from a house-music lover's perspective, red-hot—at its year-ending bash, with a pair of iconic Baltimore DJ-producers running the show. DJ Spen rose to fame via studio work for the Basement Boys, but had a previous brush with fame in the mid-'80s when he and his band, Numarx, penned a little ditty called "Girl You Know It's True"—the same tune that sold tons for Milli Vanilli in 1988. Karizma, another Basement Boys–affiliated producer, has been doing things his own way for years, twisting deep and soulful house to his own ends.

How to Stay Safe and Spot a Blacklisted Poker Site
Since online poker went through its boom phase a number of sites have fallen foul of the law and found themselves blacklisted by the community. While the downfall of some has been due to internal forces, other operators have had their reputations crushed by forces beyond their control.
In this article we'll explore what causes an online poker site to be blacklisted and how we can help you avoid the rogues.
There are many reasons why a poker site will be blacklisted by the community but, in general, the offences fall into these categories:
- Failing to pay players their winnings / failing to segregate player funds.
- Instances of players getting cheated - such as the software glitch that allows employees or rogue characters to cheat players by seeing their hole cards.
- Failure to hold a valid gaming licence.
- Operating in locations where online poker is prohibited.
- Failing to safeguard player deposits and withdrawals.
- An inability to protect player's personal information, including password, through a lack of proper security measures.
- Continued infractions with regards to poor customer service.
Essentially, any threat to a player's privacy or financial welfare is deemed a reason to blacklist a poker site. In general the community is self-policing and once an operator has been blacklisted it's virtually impossible for them to continue operating in the industry.
One notable exception to this rule is Full Tilt. Despite failing to repay US players their money after the Black Friday shutdowns, the site was purchased by the Rational Group (the parent company of the largest poker room in the world: PokerStars) and this helped restore its reputation. Indeed, any time a reputable business decides to invest in a failing site it will often help rejuvenate the latter's standing in the community.
Defining A Blacklisted Poker Site
In the online community there is essentially two ways of defining a blacklisted poker site: those that screwed over their players and those that were screwed over by governments. In general, the sites that are listed in the second category are ones that have been shut down because of a change in government legislation.
For example, Full Tilt and PokerStars are both currently blacklisted in the US because of UIGEA and the Black Friday shutdowns. However, whilst these two sites are regarded as "rogue" by the US government, it's generally accepted that they are both legitimate rooms that are simply the unfortunate victims of bureaucracy.
In contrast, blacklisted poker sites that have been the makers of their own demise are usually in this position because of malpractice. The online poker community is extremely good at regulating the industry's top operators and any time something is amiss they are often quick to pounce on it.
For example, Absolute Poker and UltimateBet (both owned by the same parent company) both had instances of cheating a few years ago and after some lengthy investigation by members of the community it was revealed that both sites tried to cover up a major technical and financial scandal. Thanks to the perseverance of many industry insiders both sites were eventually forced out of business and are now these rogue poker sites are no longer operational.
Trust In Our Guidance
Although the poker community has done a fantastic job of weeding out the majority of unscrupulous sites, comparison sites such as us have also done their bit to ensure newbies are safe. Through our extensive network of industry contacts and expert reviews we've been able to ascertain exactly which internet poker rooms are safe and which aren't. Assessing everything from the credibility of poker room's gaming licence (every legitimate site must be regulated by a recognised body), to how well their support team operates, we've made it our job to ensure every site we promote adheres to the highest standards.
Indeed, while we take our time to review each poker site's software and gaming options, we also make sure the company behind the site has a solid reputation. This means checking to see whether or not the operator has been involved with any previously blacklisted poker sites, are they linked to a credible gaming company and which authority has given them a licence. Safety is paramount in the online poker world and without a positive reputation a site will often fade away which is why we only review and promote operators we trust.
How to Avoid Rogue Poker Sites
Knowing whether or not an online poker site is legitimate is both an active and reactive process. Remaining vigilant and being aware of your own personal safety is crucial, but we realise that you can only do this once you've been armed with the right information.
This is the reason we urge you to read and compare as many of our poker reviews as possible. Because we've put every major operator through its paces it means your job as a prospective player is a lot easier.
However, we don't just want you to take our word for it. Because the poker community is an open environment we encourage you to use some of the major forums and respected poker comparison sites to gauge the reputation of a poker room. Once you've done this, you can combine this knowledge with our selection of expert reviews to make the best decision possible.
Knowledge Is Key
To make a profit in the online poker world takes a variety of different skills, but making sure you can keep hold of that money takes only one: research. Make sure you know everything about a site before you deposit any money and if you see something you don't like the look of then add it to your personal blacklist and let other people know about it.
Blacklisted Poker Sites December 2014
Cardspike Poker: Currently under an advisory because of non-payments to players, some players still waiting years later, and overall horrible customer support. It was a new poker room with high promises but it has not been run properly from day one!
Oddsmaker.com, OddsPoker.com and BetonUSA.com: Oddsmaker and BetonUSA form part of Futurebet, which also known as IGS, as well as GameTech Solutions. This company has been through a variety of scandals and players claim losses that run into millions as a result of their practices. Other brands associated with Futurebet/IGS/Gametech include AmcoPoker, ApexBets, BigDaddysCasino, BetRice, CasinoPolo, empirecasino, ExtremeBet, FeltStars, MiniLasVegas, OpenTablePoker, Papasino, PaperChasePoker, PokerDealer, PokerEon, PokerOne, PokerSyndicate, PokerFaceEnt, Pokervibes, Prosbet, Prozbet, RioPartyCasino (aka riopokerpalace), RedTiger88, Reefer Poker, Safestbet, ShamrockGaming, URBetting, USStarCasino and Vegas24.
Absolute Poker: Involved in cheating scandals. In addition, the site owners were indicted in the United States on charges that included money laundering and bank fraud.
Ultimate Bet (UB): Involved covering up cheating scandals, as well as having superuser accounts. Another site indicted by the US Department of Justice on money laundering and bank fraud.
World Sports Exchange (WSEX.com): Had its licence revoked by the Antigua and Barbuda Financial Services Regulatory Services Commission posted notice and owes players several hundred thousand in unpaid balances.
ProPoker: Was involved in a scandal where site owners were alleged to be playing against players with full knowledge of all the cards at the table.
Choice Poker: Was involved in a scandal where players were not being paid when they requested withdrawals.
Luck3 Poker: Has not been paying its staff, affiliates or players and does not respond to emails. Accepts funds, but won't let you cash out.
Naked Poker: Has had many complaints of non-payment.
Million Minds Casino and Poker: Many players have complained of non-payment and customer support is unresponsive.
TopSpeedPoker: Does not answer emails or telephones and has not honoured payments.
Joker Club: Has been accused of having software that facilitates cheating.
Lock Poker: Continued non payment of players with withdrawals takeing 6+ months. Some players not being paid at all and many have given up.
Each of these sites are among the worst offenders and most likely will be out of business very soon. Unfortunately, by the time most people realize what's going on with these offending sites, they will have already stolen hundreds of thousands of dollars from unsuspecting players. History shows us how often it happens unfortunately. Here's a good read on now defunct poker sites and their (sometimes brief) existence.
