Home Trend Watchword For 2012: VALUE
February 07, 2012
For 2012, one of the biggest trends in the housing industry can be summed up in a single word: Value.
Given that just one in four households believes their financial situation will improve in 2012*, manufacturers such as JELD-WEN are banking on the fact that value will be a major driver for home product purchases this year.
However, value can be interpreted by homeowners, builders and remodelers in many different ways. For some, value equates to low prices. For others, greater energy performance, extra features and benefits, style or durability is the focus. Still, many homeowners prioritize projects that offer easy updating and replacement that will help contribute to the home's overall value.
"For 2012, being an industry visionary means being able to offer homeowners greater value for their investment," said Elizabeth Souders, director of product marketing for JELD-WEN windows. "That's always been a core principle for us and it is definitely highlighted our product line this year."
According to JELD-WEN, the top five trends when it comes to value this year include:
Trend 1 - Performance equals value
For 2012, it's not about choosing between style and energy performance. Homeowners want it all. Energy efficient products that offer long-term savings while also ranking high on the style scale are top sellers. To ensure maximum savings, experts advise choosing windows and doors that are ENERGY STAR qualified, which are available in a variety of styles and materials, ranging from vinyl to wood. Replacing single-pane windows with ENERGY STAR qualified windows from JELD-WEN will help homeowners save an average of $295 in heating and cooling costs each year.
JELD-WEN has the largest and broadest offering of ENERGY STAR qualified windows and exterior doors in the industry, according to the National Fenestration Rating System database. Nearly all JELD-WEN® Wood and Vinyl windows come standard with Low-E glass, consuming less energy to help rooms stay warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer.
Trend 2 - Simple updates
Having to seek out customized solutions or retrofit products in order for them to match isn't in the cards for most homeowners this year. For example, JELD-WEN Pocket windows are great for renovations, remodels or new additions. Because pocket replacement windows fit into existing openings, the process is simpler, quicker and less invasive. Replacing existing windows with pocket windows can help save as much as 60 percent on material, time and labor costs when compared to traditional full window replacements. Because they are designed for installation into existing window frames, regardless of the brand of the original window, they are ideal for homeowners looking to upgrade from inefficient single-pane windows or replace old windows that don't work properly.
When it comes to simple, easy and turnkey, JELD-WEN now offers matching wood window molding styles for renovations, new additions and remodels, which blend seamlessly with the rest of a home's existing exterior to help maximize resale value.
Trend 3 - Custom looks for less
Unique designs help a home stand out, increasing its value. With this in mind, manufacturers are upping their style offerings, delivering custom looks for modest prices.
Case in point is JELD-WEN's Authentic Wood line, which offers a wide variety of off-the-shelf, beautiful designs such as the Authentic Recipe Pantry Door. Featuring etched glass with beautifully scripted recipes, this door becomes an easy way to update a non-descript kitchen for a lot less than a full-scale renovation or customized solution.
Trend 4 - Extras included
More for the money is the mantra for many in 2012, and manufacturers are delivering. For instance, JELD-WEN now offers a lifetime glass replacement option for its Vinyl products. Even if a wayward baseball breaks the glass, JELD-WEN will pay for the cost of the glass replacement. "People always appreciate something extra for their investment and that's especially true this year. Our goal is to demonstrate that value in a wide variety of ways and this is an example of how we're providing that," said Souders.
Added value is also a given with JELD-WEN windows, patio doors, exterior doors, and door frames that come standard with AuraLast wood. Only JELD-WEN offers solid pine AuraLast, the worry-free wood®, which offers superior protection from wood rot, water saturation and termites. It also acts as a grain sealant, allowing for a beautiful, even and enduring stain finish. When it comes to stains and finishes, JELD-WEN's factory finish options deliver the best outcome at a lower cost than doing it yourself.
Trend 5 - Everlasting style
There's a fine line between great design and a look that grows stale quickly. For 2012, homeowners want simple, elegant, timeless solutions that will stand the test of style trends. Therefore, more are opting for clean contemporary styles and classic designs, and steering away from trendy fads and flighty home fashions. JELD-WEN points its Custom Double-Hung window line with new design enhancements including a concealed jamb liner, concealed tilt latch and a larger bottom rail—features that have helped refine this ever-popular style that many homeowners consider a classic.
"For 2012, it's not only about what's shiny and new," said Souders. "Tried and true styles that are universally beloved offer homeowners some of the best values of the year."

When you're selling your work from photos, you need a great photo. Maria shares some tips about taking great pictures of your crafts in "Get that Product to Smile".
I remember the old days of photographing one's work. You'd shoot a whole roll of film, rush it to the developer, pray for at least one good shot, and end up having to start all over when you overexposed, underexposed, or forgot to take the lens cap off. Today we have digital photography and photographing your work has never been easier! You know on the spot if you have the shot you want. My point and shoot camera does all the work for me; I just need to make sure I've got some light and the right props if needed.

5 Bank Stocks That Won't Bankrupt You or America (Update 1)
2. Home Bancshares
Home Bancshares (HOMB) of Conway, Ark., has seen its stock decline 1% year-to-date, to $25.55 on Monday, following a remarkable 19% return in 2011.
The company had $3.6 billion in total assets as of Dec. 30, with branch operations in Arkansas and Florida, and it was a strong and steady earnings performer during 2011, with ROA ranging from 1.46% to 1.58%.Home Bancshares on Feb. 16 completed the purchase of all 17 branches of Vision Bank of Panama City, Fla., from Park National Corp. (PRK), for $27.9 million. The shares trade for 1.8 times tangible book value and 12.5 times the consensus 2012 EPS estimate of $2.04. The consensus 2013 EPS estimate is $2.13. FIG Partners analyst Brian Martin has an "outperform" rating on Home Bancshares, with a $29 price target, saying on Jan. 23 that "the game plan heading into 2012 is M&A," including possible failed bank acquisitions as well as traditional deals, after "good pricing discipline prevented any M&A from occurring in 2011 as HOMB was an active bidder."

Hungry 3 mth old won't take bottle of EBM...help!
Find a Conversation
|Thu, 08-23-2012 - 1:25pm
I started back to work yesterday, and my 12-wk-old daughter refuses to take a bottle of EBM from DH. I could get her to take small amounts from a bottle before I returned to work, but now she won't take a real feeding (>.5 oz) from a bottle. She's definitely hungry and frustrated (screaming mad). DH has tried multiple bottles, nipples, positions, etc. She took a little from a small cup yesterday, but we don't want that to become her preference since she's so young.
Any advice? We're desperate!
|Thu, 08-23-2012 - 8:39pm
If she'll drink from the cup go with it! There is nothing wrong with babies at that age drinking from a cup! Have you smelled your milk to see if it smells soapy or weird after being in the fridge? You could hav excess lipase in your milk which is harmless but may make it taste funny. Is having your DH bring her to you to nurse during the day once an option at all? I know that others here will have great advice for you. Its so tough first going back to work!
|Thu, 08-23-2012 - 10:10pm
Glad you joined us!! I know how frustrating it can be when baby isn't taking the bottle. Iris made some good points. I suspect that over the next few days, your baby will start to take the bottle, it just takes some time. I do have a couple links which might help:
LERon-line.com - Helping a Breastfed Baby Accept a Bottle
mother-2-mother.com - Refusing the Bottle / Alternative Feeding Methods
Kellymom - Reverse Cycling
Keep us posted on how the next few days go!

Zohreen Adamjee's on-air reporting career started with freelancing at the CBS station in Bakersfield. After just four days there, FOX40′s news director saw her work and she jumped to market 20 in Sacramento.
You can now find her on FOX40′s evening broadcast where she frequently covers stories from the State Capitol, city hall, a court house or a crime scene. She also often shoots and edits her own pieces.
During her first two years at the station, she was an A.M. reporter and covered breaking news, hard news and feature stories for FOX40′s 5.5 hour morning show. In addition to her on-air work, during her first year at FOX40, she was the station's morning web editor and social media producer. She still contributes to the web team, frequently updating her web scripts throughout the day so viewers can track developing stories online.
She also launched a live 30-minute Google+ show called "Capitol Conversations" where she interviewed many of the state's leading politicians. Some of her interviews included California Senate President pro Tempore Darrell Steinberg and now suspended State Senator Leland Yee.
Even though she lives in Northern California, her roots go back to Los Angeles. She has lived and worked in 11 different areas in Los Angeles County. After receiving her B.A. from UCLA, she began working in the scripted entertainment TV divisions at CAA and FOX Broadcasting. She soon discovered her real passion was on the news side of the media.
She was hired at the L.A. Times where she wrote for the newspaper's tech blog and started latimes.com's first audio podcast that featured some of the biggest stories the paper was covering.
She then received her masters in broadcast journalism from Columbia Journalism School. During her time there, she covered many stories in New York City's housing projects, and also took a trip to Israel and the West Bank where she covered how the Arab Spring was affecting the region.
Adamjee was then selected from a competitive pool of journalism graduates to be a master's fellow at CNN in Los Angeles. She shot and edited video and also wrote for CNN.com
Adamjee is a member of the South Asian Journalists Association and is one of the only Pakistani TV reporters in California.
Adamjee is also the author of a cookbook. In her free time, she fosters sick and injured animals from the shelter.

What is the best age for a woman to have a facelift?
It is difficult to pinpoint a "best age" for having a facelift, since people of the same chronological age may present very different appearances depending on such factors as heredity and exposure to the sun. Aesthetic plastic surgeons very often recommend a first facelift for women in their mid-forties or early fifties, because at this age the skin still has sufficient elasticity to achieve the best possible results. Excellent results can still be obtained, however, for women in their sixties, seventies or older who have maintained good health and overall fitness. Men rarely seek advice on facelifts before their fifties or early sixties. Normally, results of a facelift will last eight to ten years. Most people who have had one facelift will, at the appropriate time, want another. Patients are pleased to find that the results of a second facelift are usually as good, and often better, than the first.
Optimal Age For a Facelift – The optimal age is not chronological, but rather genetic. Aging depends on whether one has genetic aging by fat atrophy and/or jowling, both are major components of facial aging. In general, when a patient has these components, if it is volumetric deflation then one can use fat augmentation, but with jowling then one needs to have skin or deep layer tightening, a "Lift & Fill" facelift. A "Lift & Fill" facelift is "lifting" the central lateral portion and "filling" the deflated central fat compartments. In general, this is usually in the late 40's/early 50's. It is best to do your facelift earlier rather than later for longevity.
What is the best age for a woman to have a face lift?
There is no ideal age for a face lift. It depends on genetics, individual anatomy and when the degree of aging concerns a patient enough to do something about it. Generally, patients who have a face lift in their 40's or 50's get a better, longstanding result than those who wait until later in life, although older patients can still get a significant improvement. Sometimes, a lesser procedure like fat injections alone can give a significant improvement if there is no significant skin laxity.
Robert Singer, MD FACS
I prefer the term 'facial rejuvenation' over the more antiquated term 'facelift', as many patients that I see who seek a more youthful and refreshed facial appearance undergo a set of surgical procedures very different from what would have been considered a 'facelift' twenty-five years ago.
The word 'rejuvenation' means, literally, 'to make young again'. In each individual, different facial changes occur with age. One person may be unhappy with 'baggy eyelids', while another has 'droopy eyebrows'. One person may be troubled by 'jowls' in the lower face, while another would like an improvement in their 'floppy neck'.
Surgical treatment of facial aging changes must therefore be carefully individualized to match each patient's aesthetic needs and desires. No two 'facelifts', by necessity, are the same. In helping a patient to make decisions about plastic surgery for facial rejuvenation, I always examine and assess how each aesthetic area or 'unit' of the face contributes to an individual's overall appearance: the brows and eyelids, the cheeks or 'midface', the lower face and chin, and the neck. An individualized surgical plan is then developed which addresses each patient's specific concerns and needs.
It is an interesting question. In years past it would be the late 4th decade and beyond. In many instance there are less invasive procedure being performed that push this age for facelift further back. It is really best that you seek a consult from A Board Certifed plastic Surgeon to evaluate your desires and expectations.

A collection of love letters penned by Mick Jagger is set to hit the auction block next month. According to a report from the U.K.'s The Guardian the letters were written by Mick to Marsha Hunt, a former lover and the mother of his first child.
Hunt spoke with the newspaper explaining that the auction, which is going down in London, is purely a financial decision:
"I'm broke. Anyone who has the impression that I have money knows nothing about me."
She continues on to add that the letters provide a significant glimpse into the private life of an English hero as a younger man:
"This is Mick in his own words . . . This is part of English history, it is part of rock history, part of cultural history and it corrects all the misinformation and I think we live in a time when misinformation is swallowed as, 'well, who cares?' Facts are relevant. The sale is important. Someone, I hope, will buy those letters as our generation is dying and with us will go the reality of who we were and what life was."

Flames rip through an apartment complex in Binghamton, causing dozens of families to evacuate early Sunday morning. As our Elyse Mickalonis explains, the fire was strong enough to keep crews on scene throughout the day Sunday.
BINGHAMTON, N.Y. -- "It was just like the grand opening of some movie, red lights, blue lights, green lights and then boom, saw nothing but smoke," said Luis Negron, Binghamton Resident.
The beginnings of a fire that had Binghamton crews battling hot spots more than 12 hours after it started.
"The original first alarm was about quarter of 12 last night. Initially, they made an interior attack; but, the fire was well-advanced when they got in there. So, they had to back out and go into a defensive operation," said Steve Faughnan, Binghamton FD Assistant Fire Chief.
Connie Hawley, Binghamton Resident, added, "My cousin lived on the second floor. This is the second fire she's been through. I'm at a loss for words, because she doesn't have much stuff in there and I don't know what to do for her."
Crews say the fire started on the 3rd floor of 259 Main Street and burned through the roof. Flames then jumped to a neighboring building connected to the rest of the apartment complex. Some neighbors were told to leave their homes, in case it jumped again.
"It was blazing, the building next door. I went around the back to come out the back door and it almost sounded like an explosion. Me and a friend of mine were talking out back and it was like 'boom,' the flames were blazing," said Roland Jennings, Binghamton Resident.
Firefighters say working smoke detectors and a sprinkler system helped residents escape safely.
The fire has left 17 families homeless. The Red Cross helped evacuate people early Sunday morning and provided shelter for 41 people at St. Mary's Recreation Center on Hawley Street in Binghamton. Investigators are still looking into what ignited the fire.

Art Lab for Kids: String printing
I was thrilled when IF asked me to share a lesson or two here with IF readers from my new book: Art Lab for Kids by Quarry Books. There are 52 "labs" inside the book with many more variations in each of the go further section. All of the lessons have been used over and over again with multi-aged groups that I have taught over the past 19 years. For this post I thought it would be fun to share a lesson that could be a blast to do outside (if it's summer in your neck of the woods!) but of course you can do it inside as well. The materials are easy to gather and the whole experience could be enhanced with your favorite music! You can also get plenty of inspiration before starting by checking out Jackson Pollock's large scale works. Ready? Okay! Let's go!
- Liquid paint (tempera or acrylic) in three colors (or more!) of your choice
- Small containers for the paint
- Craft sticks
- Cotton string cut in lengths as long as your forearm – one for each color
- Heavy weight paper
Clear an area to work in and put down a few layers of newspaper or covering to protect the table.
1. Dip your string into the paint
2. Using a craft stick, immerse and coat the string with the paint (or fingers!)
3. Holding the string above your paper, let your arm drop and let the string go limp onto the paper
4. Continue with this motion until you are ready to change colors
5. Use one string per color to avoid mixing.
Go further and try these three ideas out:
– Fold the paper over the string and hold the paper with your hand wile you pull out the string.
– Drag the string around the paper in different directions.
– Fill the paper fully with one method, let dry and then use another method on top.
This is a great indoor/outdoor art experience for loosening up, making beautiful collage papers, a finished work or simply play! I hope that you try this out with a child (or not!) and if you are willing – share the results on Art Lab for Kids Facebook page!

It's peculiar how the little things in life often seem to be the ones that carry the most meaning. In the 1947 black-and-white movie "Miracle on 34th Street" (I know you all have watched it at least a thousand times), Fred (young single lawyer) tells Doris (overworked single mom advertising exec) not to "… overlook those lovely intangibles. You'll discover those are the only things that are worthwhile." I guess I first heard that phrase when I was in my …

Belk Library is launching our new Pinterest site -- just in time to celebrate the upcoming National Library Week (April 8 – 14). Pinterest is one of the fastest growing social networking sites around today. It combines the connectivity of Facebook with the capability of "bookmarking" all wrapped in beautiful visual imagery. "Pinning" on Pinterest is like having a room full of bulletin boards--all on different subjects--where the user can "pin" pictures, links to websites, recipes, posters, etc. to the appropriate board to view and refer.
In celebration of National Library Week (April 8-14), Belk Library will be gathering input from students, faculty, and staff about what their favorite books are. We'll be gathering entries via a form on the library's website, and then posting them on one of the library's Pinterest boards.
The Library Student Advisory Group met on February 23rd and offered some excellent suggestions for developing the kiosks.
The library has added new touchscreen information kiosks on each floor of the building. These monitors will give you instant, easy access to some of our most popular web tools:
Our technology services staff is currently working on getting small printers attached to each monitor, so that students may print out confirmation slips when booking group study rooms.
All public computers in campus labs and in the library are now set up to print duplex by default. This setting is only the default on the black and white printers. The color printer is still set to single-sided printing.
UPDATE FROM TECHNICAL SUPPORT SERVICES - Email from the Director
We are going greener...
The library made important changes to the catalog, which will affect how people search for books and other materials.
At a glance, see where the available computers are in the library!
The library is now offering a new service -- computer availability maps. The new policy of requiring student log-ins on public computers has given us the ability to track what computers in the library are currently being used. The Web Team at the library has created a web application that collects this information in real time and displays it on maps of each floor of the library.
ANNOUNCING: The Belk Library iPad project! The Main Circulation Desk now has 10 iPads available for check out. The loan period is one week, with one renewal allowed.
The apps and links currently available on the iPads are: Belk Library home page, WNCLN Catalog, TSS Help desk, iBooks, EBSCOhost, British Library 19th Century Collection, Amazon Kindle, Zite, Merrimam Webster Dictionary, Quickoffice, Google Earth, Apple Remote, Bamboo Paper, & GoSkyWatchP.

So why Jean Reno? The gravel-throated French star seems an unlikely choice for the hero of Onimusha 3: Demon Seige - a Japanese action game. "He's very popular over here." explains the game's producer, Keiji Inafune.
"Especially with girls. He's a tough guy, but he also has a soft side. Japanese women seem to prefer men who are tough yet gentle." But he wasn't the first choice. "We originally approached another American actor, but he was only interested in money. Jean Reno understood what we were trying to do."
And what a meeting that must have been. "Okay Reno-san, you'll be playing Jacques Blanc, a French police officer who's transported to feudal Japan through a time portal to battle demons with a magical whip." "Er... quoi?" But it's the absurdity of Demon Siege that makes it so much fun.
What other game lets you fi ght a mechanical spider atop the Arc De Triomphe? Or crash around an ancient Japanese forest with an assault rifle? Compared to Onimusha 2 which had the steady pace of an RPG and a focus on character interaction, the third game is a relentless assault of furiously exciting set-pieces.
The game opens with Paris being invaded by the Genma clan, an army of monstrous fi ends under the control of the Demon King Nobunaga. They tear through the streets mercilessly slaying bystanders as the French police try in vain to stop them, including our hero Jacques Blanc.
We then switch to Kyoto, Japan in 1582 where Samanosuke is preparing to do battle with Nobunaga. Then, for reasons too convoluted to go into here, the two characters swap places and end up in each others' respective time period.
It's an insane premise, but one that not only makes for interesting gameplay mechanics, but a decent amount of humour too as the pair struggle to come to terms with the situations they end up in.
Occasionally the game slows down and introduces puzzles, some of which see Jacques changing the past in 1582 to clear the way for Samanosuke in 2004 - for example opening a door that's rusted shut with age in the future. You can also ferry items between time periods with the help of Ako, a tiny fairy who also serves as a translator for the duo.
In Kyoto Jacques is aided by a young Samanosuke (with, as keen fans will notice, the same hair and armour he wore in the first game), while Michelle, Jacques' fiancé, helps the future Samanosuke in Paris. The game switches regularly between the two time periods, as well as the Genma-infested demon world, which keeps the pace frenetic and consistently entertaining to play.
But the reason the game works is because there's depth to its action. On the surface Onimusha 3 is a standard combo-based brawler, but the lifeblood of the combat system is the dynamic and satisfying issen moves. You can get through the game mindlessly hacking away at enemies, but A) you won't earn as many experience points to spend on upgrades and B) it gets pretty boring.
To perform an issen counter you have to wait for a precise moment during an enemy's attack animation, then attack at exactly the same time, indicated by a subtle glint of light. The timing is different for each enemy and, when successful, grants you an instant kill that reduces your victim to a cloud of shimmering dust. Hard to master, but infinitely satisfying when you get it right.
On the approach to the game's climax, Jacques and Samanosuke finally team up for a mighty, Lord of the Rings-style battle in the midst of a raging storm at the Honno-ji temple in Japan. In a stunning sequence you fight up to 20 enemies at a time (the maximum capacity of the graphics engine according to Inafune).
It's a stirring, cinematic moment. In fact, it's so cinematic your PS2 can barely cope and the frame rate becomes choppy and unreliable. But in a mad way, this actually makes the scene better. As Jacques and Samanosuke unleash their fully levelled-up fire and ice spells, they explode across the screen in (unintentional) slowmotion, and it looks incredible.
Even with its fixed cameras and linear level progression, Onimusha 3 still doesn't feel old. The slick timing-based counter system has become a staple of modern action games (even as recently as Batman: Arkham Asylum) and the mental time-hopping premise is as fascinatingly incongruous as it was back in 2004. We anxiously await the return of the Onimusha series on PS3.

Celsion Corporation (NASDAQ:CLSN)
A biotechnology company dedicated to furthering the development and commercialization of treatment systems for cancer and other diseases using focused heat energy in combination with other therapeutic devices or heat-activated genes.
Second giant killer that is in my 20-20-20 bucket (over 20% insider, under 20 PE, within 20% of 52 week low). Look at the insider trades... they have been upping the ante significantly with each phase of the trial completed. These guys are industry vets (check the resumes) and they obviously believe that they are going to knock this out of the park. This is a ridiculously low valuation for this stock given the phase of the trial and the large market for this interesting therapy.Oh, and their patent was approved recently, so there seems to be a tight plan by management with final FDA approval set to come down the pipe soon.

They each shared their reasons for being there – cherished memories of reading with a parent, the desire to instill a love of reading in their own kids, wanting to honor a father's passion for education. It was the first task Joy Brooke, co-chair of First Book's Seattle volunteer chapter, asked her members to complete.
"Everyone had a story that led them to First Book. And everyone believed in the simple goal of getting books to kids," said Joy. Joy herself was drawn to the idea of helping put new books into the homes of low-income families. As a teacher and a mother of two who is also earning her doctorate in Education Leadership, she also loves how much flexibility and creativity she has a First Book volunteer.
In the past year, she and the Seattle volunteer chapter held a unique fundraising event at a local glassblowing studio, distributed a truckload of 40,000 books to local kids in need and hosted their 3rd Annual Storytime event with local celebrities.
To top it all off, Joy took advantage of a recent family vacation to provide new books to kids in Costa Rica. Her own kids joined her on a visit to a school in the coastal town of Quepos where they toured the library and read stories in Spanish. "The experience," she said, "was the most rewarding part of the trip. It cost so little and was worth so much."
First Book is grateful to Joy and all the volunteers who help bring books to kids across the country and around the globe. To join First Book as a volunteer, visit www.firstbook.org/volunteer.

Thigh Buttock Lift Denver
Whether due to significant weight fluctuations or more simply due to the development of lax lower body and hip structures some patients develop significant laxity of the skin and soft tissues of the lateral and posterior thigh, generally associated with sagging buttocks. These patients see a significant improvement in the appearance of all of these areas with a procedure known as a thigh buttock lift. The procedure involves elevation and tightening of the buttock and lateral thigh tissues. It is frequently combined with lateral thigh liposuction. On occasion excess upper buttock tissues can be rotated into the lower central buttock area as a form of augmentation with the patients own natural tissue.
Total Thigh Lift
If more aggressive lifting of the thigh, including the skin of the medial thigh, is desired, the incision may be extended to the groin crease, simultaneously elevating the anterior and medial thigh along with lifting of the lateral and posterior tissues. This is typically referred to as a total thigh lift. Patients are frequently amazed to know that usually a width of up to, or even over one foot are generally removed to lift these structures. In weight loss patients this procedure may be performed at the same time as a smaller procedure, such as an arm reduction or a breast lift.
Denver Lower Body Lift
When a thigh buttock lift is combined with an abdominoplasty this is called a lower body lift. In this case the incision is circumferential and large volumes of redundant tissue can be removed. Inches and pounds are instantly lost.
Denver Thigh and Buttock Lift Recovery Times
Thigh Buttock procedures are major surgical procedures performed under general anesthesia. Recovery is significant with limited mobility for a few weeks. Patients are typically hospitalized or hosted at The Monarch Retreat for at least two days. Pain pumps with long lasting local anesthetic are used to speed mobilization and make patients more comfortable. These larger procedures are more demanding on the patient and assurances need to be made regarding the overall health of the patient sometimes requiring clearance by the patient's primary care physician.
Even though a thigh buttock lift is a more involved, demanding procedure with a tougher recovery, Dr. Murphy's patients have experienced a high degree of satisfaction with the results of the procedure and at times they have found it almost life changing. Be prepared for the added expense of a new wardrobe!
Thank you, Dr. Murphy, for all the excellent care and patience you have given me through two bouts of breast cancer. You have helped me survive and thrive. Thank you to all the wonderful nurses in your office, too. They are always kind, professional and knowledgeable.CB
For women who are dissatisfied with the size or, in some cases, the shape of their breasts, breast enhancement surgery is an appropriate surgical choice for them. A natural shape that matches their body habitus is typically the goal of these patients. Their breasts may have never achieved the size they desire or, as is very common, their breast size and shape may have changed over time, possibly related to pregnancy, gravity or weight fluctuations.Learn More

Since the publication of this article, in-PharmaTechnologist.com has been in touch with Health Canada to find out that the "updates" to the guidance document were actually to the font, not to the regulations. Health Canada launched no disclaimer with the update to suggest changes made were of a typographical nature. Read the story here…
Health Canada has launched a new risk based classification system for facility inspections.
The regulator says the old system, by which site inspectors could issue only a compliant or non-compliant rating, was too ambiguous and left too much room for confusion.
The new guidance , launched on Tuesday, means the organisation will consider the risk involved along with the "nature and extent of the deviation in relation with the category of products evaluated" before handing out a classification on a numerical scale; one being the highest risk, three the lowest.
In a statement, Health Canada said it hopes the move will make rating more uniform, as well as raising industry awareness of what is "unacceptable" in terms of compliance.
"Attribution of a non-compliant (NC) rating may have serious consequences for a company, ranging from the implementation of important corrective measures to the temporary suspension or termination of the Establishment Licence (EL)," Health Canada explained in its draft. "Therefore, these situations of non-conformity have to be well defined, unambiguous and directly supported by the applicable regulations."
However, despite recognising the different shades of grey in drug manufacturing inspection, the authority still say some offences will always lead directly to the worst classification.
"Most of the situations involving fraud, misrepresentation or falsification of products or data will generate a NC rating, irrespective of the category of products involved," the organisation said.
Overseas safety
The news follows University of Victoria's drug policy researcher Alan Cassels' call for stricter inspection of the overseas drug manufacturing facilities that provide medicine to Canada.
Writing in the Canadian Medical Association Journal (CMAJ) earlier this week, he said that inspectors should take note from the US Food and Drug Administration and travel to plants in other countries; especially those in emerging markets where compliance has been an issue.
"How often do our regulators dust off their passports and fly to China or India to ensure that the plants producing pharmaceuticals are clean, follow proper manufacturing techniques and contain what is on the label?" he wrote.
He also warned that the regulatory body should change the fact three-quarters of medical imports come from countries which do not have any manufacturing standards agreements with Canada.
However in an interview with CBC News, Stephanie Reid, a manager at Health Canada's drug inspection unit, said the concerns were unfounded because drug imports are inspected upon arrival.
"Canadians can be assured that before any product comes into the country, there's always an inspection," she said.

This was my first year with bees and at mid July - the hive was jumping with two deeps full of bees and i added a shallow which was partially drawn out.
then i wrote you because they looked like they had eaten a good portion of the honey and they may be starving. it also appeared to be very little brood but you had hope because the brood i did have were centered in a frame. so i began feeding them and i called around for a queen but no luck.
I thought it was safer to leave them be and let them eat and hopefully recover.
i thought it was getting cold and that i should put an entrance reducer in (Mistake it got warm again - but i forgot to remove the reducer). then i saw wasps trying to get in the top where the sugar feeder was so i finally removed the entrance reducer so the bees could enter and exit more easily. I decided should probably check the hive again.
i opened the hive and saw that i have 6 frames full of honey and maybe 150-200 bees.
it was truly depressing and i was hoping you may have some ideas on how i managed to get to this point.
i thought perhaps i killed the queen and they were unable to replace her. but i also didn't treat for anything (varroa mites included) so i don't know if that did it. when i took some time to look at the remaining bees they did not appear to have any mites on the outside, but when i emptied the base board there was perhaps some significant debris....i just dumped it though and did not keep the contents.

Definitions for yin and yang
This page provides all possible meanings and translations of the word yin and yang
Random House Webster's College Dictionary
yin′ and yang′(n.)
(in Chinese philosophy and religion) two principles, one negative, dark, and feminine
Category: Eastern Religions, Philosphy
Ref: ( yin 1 ); ( yang )
Origin of yin and yang:
1930–35; < Chin yīn-yáng
Yin and yang
In Chinese philosophy, the concept of yin-yang, which is often called "yin and yang", is used to describe how seemingly opposite or contrary forces are interconnected and interdependent in the natural world; and, how they give rise to each other as they interrelate to one another. Many natural dualities are thought of as physical manifestations of the yin-yang concept. The concept lies at the origins of many branches of classical Chinese science and philosophy, as well as being a primary guideline of traditional Chinese medicine, and a central principle of different forms of Chinese martial arts and exercise, such as baguazhang, taijiquan, and qigong and of I Ching. Yin and yang are actually complementary, not opposing, forces, interacting to form a whole greater than either separate part; in effect, a dynamic system. Everything has both yin and yang aspects,. Either of the two major aspects may manifest more strongly in a particular object, depending on the criterion of the observation.

Always wanted to trade up to a luxury line? Here's another chance.
In the latest in a string of summer cruise sales, swanky The Yachts of Seabourn has slashed prices on a dozen fall and winter voyages by up to 65%.
The sailings included in the one-week Bon Voyage sale are between October and March, 2010 in the Mediterranean, Panama Canal, Caribbean and Vietnam & Thailand. The trips vary in length from five to 14-days and, with the discount, are priced as low as $1,349 per person, based on double occupancy. The sale ends at the close of business on Aug. 31.

DISCUSSION: What would you ask the makers of Oasis of the Seas?
Just last month Seabourn put its entire 2010 season of European and Asian cruises on sale for 45% to 65% off. The offer was an expansion of a previously announced Yachting Collection Savings promotion and included nearly 150 cruises of seven to 14 days aboard the Seabourn Pride, Spirit and Legend, as well as the newly-launched Seabourn Odyssey and its soon-to-debut sister Seabourn Sojourn.
Seabourn rival Silversea Cruises also has marked down 2010 voyages by as much as 60% this summer in what the line has called its biggest sale ever.
Cruise Loggers, share your thoughts on the summer sales. Have they prompted you to trade up?

As I was wadding up Babyface's hoodie into a ball to make a travel pillow on the plane and so tired I could barely speak, I decided that my today's eats posts should all be named. After all, pretty much all the food decisions in a day are tied with some sort of thread. Today's theme? Draggin' ass. Pardon my language, but there is really no better phrase for how I've felt all day.
Protip: four hours of sleep is not enough before a 12 hour travel day.
Anyway, onto the eats. I ate a ton of food today. Rightfully so. We were told we'd have appetizers at our event last night, so Babyface and I figured we could make a dinner on that. What we had? Jelly beans, cashews and hard breadsticks. Lame! Add that to the massive amount of champagne I consumed, two straight day of walking all over Manhattan and three hours of dancing and a big food day was necessary.
We got to spin a prize wheel when we checked into our hotel and our prize was $10 of "cupboard cash" to be used in the hotel's convenience store. We cashed it in this morning to get muffins, juice and (unpictured) yogurt. Picture taken in the cab on the way to airport. Right after we came out of the Queens Midtown tunnel where I spent the entire time trying to NOT focus on the fact that we were under thousands of tons of life-crushing water.
Once at the airport and through the henious security line, I was hungry again and this time, for protein. NYC food is very carb heavy. My body was in dire need of some protein. So Babyface and I shared a fruit and cheese plate and a turkey and cheese croissant from au bon pain.
And coffee. Now, I rarely drink coffee. And when I do, it is almost always decaf. But this morning, no way. Full leaded. And it didn't even make a dent in my yawns.
Airplane peanuts and a juicy YA novel (which I finished, definitely best book in the series so far).
I also had a bite of this Kashi GoLean Roll thingy (also from our free Cupboard Cash). It was good! Tasted like a healthy candy bar.
During our layover in Baltimore, we found this really awesome diner that focuses on local, organic and sustainably raised food. A total score for airport food! The diner had traditional diner fare, but with fun, fresh, "real food" twists.
They even had vegan and gluten-free sections of their menu and listed the names and locations for the farms where they sourced their ingredients. Very cool!
We started off with the hummus platter. Yum!
Cranberry tarragon chicken salad on whole grain bread with a summer fruit spinach salad on the side. Not bad for a diner in the middle of an airport terminal, eh?
After lunch, I declared, "I need a cookie!" So Babyface and I went in search of a cookie and landed at Subway. We split these.
Once we landed in Louisville, we knew we had a 90 minute drive ahead and neither of us were coherent enough to pilot a car up Interstate 65. So more coffee. Actually espresso. Caramel machiatto. This time it helped. As did driving with the windows down. We made it home alive.
In case you ever doubted it, advertising works, kids. Just outside of Louisville, I saw a billboard for Panera and decided we must have that for dinner. An hour later, I was ordering French onion soup, half of a Mediterranean veggie sandwich and an apple.
And now I'm going to bed. And try to forget the fact that I have to travel again in four days…
13 Comments
I love your hair, and nails, and the fact that they match! Glad your home safe! I live so super close to NYC and NEVER go there… once was enough for me! Get some rest!
i <3 panera, it's definitely a weakness of mine. and i think the picture of you (and the coffee-grippy-thingy) is super cute! glad you made it home safe
Dorothy was right!
Whoa, Baltimore airport food FTW!
Traveling and finding healthy choices are always a challenge.Glad you made it home safe.Love your hair and nails.Did you do your nails yourself or have them done?
In a slightly unrelated to this post….
Pleasepleaseplease tell me you saw Antoine Dodson at the Webby Awards? And if so… did he "run and tell that, homeboy?"

I find this photograph from J.C. Allen & Son of LaFayette, Indiana, a perfect introduction to this timeframe. I have no idea where it was taken, but I have a clear recollection of the massive dust storms of the spring and summer of 1934. I was in grade school at the time and can recall school being cancelled at noon so the buses could get the rural kids home early. As for the townies, I suppose they were on their own, but Gowrie, Iowa, wasn't so big that they couldn't find their own doorsteps.
Our parents had a rough row to hoe in 1934. First it was the Great Depression with the markets dropping through the floor, unemployment spreading like the plague and then the sight of so much topsoil from your fields sailing off to parts unknown, along with blistering heat. It was almost too much to bear and to some they became known as the Dirty 30s … and I think '34 was about the bottom of it.
Strangely enough, or actually not so strangely, the mid-'30s were not bad times for draft horsemen. There was actually a renewed interest in the colt raising business with more stallions registered for public service by the division of Stallion Registrations, Iowa Department of Agriculture, than in the years immediately preceding. Iowa had a lot of well-established stables of Percherons, Belgians, Shires and Clydesdales. In addition, the Holbert Horse Importing Company from northeast Iowa was importing stallions from Belgium and France by the carload. The draft horse business was actually pretty lively in the mid-'30s.
There were also a lot more farms and farmers. In our area there were generally four or five farms per section … a section being 640 acres. That meant there were neighborhoods. Real neighborhoods, that involved threshing rings, silo filling, hay making and trading help on fencing, putting up a building, harvesting, etc. The list is almost all inclusive.
I asked Jeannine, who is my wife and about my age, if she remembered having school let out for dust storms in 1934. She said she did not, but that where she came from, south of Des Moines, they had more sense than to plow up every piece of ground and cut down every tree like we did in northern Iowa.
And with that I will switch gears and "do my thing" on Samuel Guard.
An interesting man remembered,his memory triggered by an accidental look back at the December 1932 Breeder's Gazette. (It had fallen off a shelf. I was merely picking it up.)
Sam Guard was a great editor, a colorful writer, and had about as much brass as the Marine Corps Band. I read his stuff with admiration as a kid. But I didn't meet him until he had become an old man. I had written a "Dear Mr. Guard" letter when I was about 12 years old (1939-40 or thereabouts) asking if he could send me one of their old holiday numbers. It would have been easy for him to ignore that kid letter but, instead he responded with a "Dear Maurice" letter and a copy of their 1915 Holiday issue.
That old issue was a revelation to me. What a great paper it had been! And what a lifetime of struggle Sam Guard put into salvaging and sustaining it. That 1915 issue made his current issues look like pygmies. It never regained its former size or stature and eventually folded. But Sam Guard was no failure. The times had simply passed his kind of farm paper by, and his style of journalism too.
Now, about that skinny little December 1932 issue. It was Christmas time and a good many stockings that had been hung with care would, of necessity, remain nearly bare. Tough times. Gonna' get tougher.
Franklin Roosevelt had just been elected President. So, naturally, Sam wrote to him … man to man. And FDR responded with a note that Sam then printed in that December issue as "Greetings from the President-Elect". Roosevelt's note was about twenty words long. Sam's commentary consumed the rest of the page.
FDR had identified himself as a "raiser of livestock" in that brief note. So–he was one of us. It was true that there were Guernsey cattle on his estate. Whether he even knew the name of the herdsman or could distinguish a Guernsey from a Jersey is unknown. The important thing was that Sam and Frank were sort of fraternity brothers. It was a "Sam has a stockman's paper and Frank has Guernseys" sort of thing; a little like a reporter attending a dinner involving 600 people, including the president, and then filing a story about "Dining with the President."
It is evident that Sam Guard was painfully aware of what the Gazette had been (he went to work for it as a young man) and the depths to which it had fallen. But he refused to be discouraged. If he ever was, he refused to share it. Disgusted? Angry? That was different. He was perfectly willing to share those sentiments when the shoe fit.
About 35 years later, give or take, after writing that kid letter to Sam Guard, I met Sam Guard in the flesh. By that time I had become secretary-manager of the National Dairy Cattle Congress in Waterloo and would annually attend the fair manager's meeting in Chicago. It was conveniently scheduled in those days to be held the same week as the International Livestock Show down at the yards. That was quite a temptation to play hooky from some of the fair meetings and go out to the show. I frequently succumbed to that temptation.
Sam Guard came to those meetings to present the Breeder's Gazette trophy to the fair that had–in his estimation–done the best job with livestock. This was the 1960s and frankly the trophy had lost its luster … just as the Gazette had. But it gave him an excuse to come up to Chicago and mingle with some old friends and make some new ones. He could also go out to the big show at the stockyards and do likewise there. In some respects it must have been painful for him because the Gazette was on a slippery slope. And so was the show heading that way. And the fair managers have long since moved their meeting to that great livestock center … Las Vegas, Nevada.
