DALLAS—"Killer" Tim Brooks was a wrestler--and is still a wrestler at heart.
"Macho Man," Killer said "Was a great wrestler."
And Killer--who now runs his own professional wrestling school in Waxahachie--should know.
"I wrestled Randy in Atlanta," Killer said. "I also wrestled Macho Man at the Sportatorium in Dallas."
Killer now hosts once a month championship matches at his 250 seat auditorium were future professional wrestlers are born.
Killer admits that all too many wrestlers of his era have died too early--he's not afraid to say the "S" word--as in steroids.
"I will not lie," Killer said. "I noticed a great amount of abuse of steroids, yes I did, a terrible abuse of steroids."
Killer said recreational drugs were also widely used--the list of wrestlers who have died is long--Chris Benoit murdered his wife and son before killing himself.
Andre the Giant died of a heart attack, so did Eddie Guerrero and apparently Macho Man.
Baylor-Grapevine Dr. Eric Stehly has heard the steroid rumors like everyone else--if true--it could explain a lot.
"There is weak correlation between steroid use and brain cancer and we think that it has a negative effect on the heart as well long term." Dr. Stehly said.
Killer believes professional wrestling is much cleaner now--but is as brutal as ever. He needs two new knees and nurses aches and pains every day.
"I had a broken collar bone, I've had a fractured neck," Killer said. "I've got a couple of bad vertebrae in my back--as you get older it takes a score on you."
Killer will remember Macho Man the way everyone else will--fondly.
"Macho Man," Killer said. "You know his trademark was--he started the Oh, Yea!"
And he'll miss another friend gone too soon.
"Every time we lose one it makes me stop and think I'm older than these guys," Killer said. "I'm fortunate that I am still here."

EntityKey.EntityNotValidKey Field
Namespace: System.Data
Assembly: System.Data.Entity (in System.Data.Entity.dll)
There are various ways to get an invalid entity. The most common scenario is when an Entity SQL query uses the TREAT operator to interpret an instance of a polymorphic type as a particular type, and the instance in question does not match. (TREAT is similar to the C# as operator). In this case, the query returns an entity that is not valid, and the entity key of the resulting entity is set to EntityNotValidKey.

I was a bit surprised when I got the shoes because the heel was a lot higher than it looks like in the picture. So the shoes are hard to wear for too long and I would not suggest getting them if your planning to walk a lot in them. But they look very cute.

Making Homemade Natural Bread and Butter Pickles
Using the "Fresh-Pack, natural, homemade mix" method
Yield: 7 to 9 pint jars
Click here for a PDF print version
Making and canning your own bread-and-butter pickles the old-fashioned way, with all natural ingredients has never been easier!! Here's how to do it, in easy steps and completely illustrated. This method is so easy, ANYONE can do this! It's a great thing to do with your kids! Note: You can use these directions to make Squash bread-and-butter pickles. Just substitute slender (1 to 1-1/2 inches in diameter) zucchini or yellow summer squash for the cucumbers, in the same amounts.

Ingredients and Equipment
Directions - How to Make Bread-and-Butter Pickles
Be sure to read all the directions first - there are a couple of options and variations at the end, if you want to make firmer pickles (it's a trade-off; it takes more work!)
Step 1 - Selecting the cucumbers
It's fun to go pick your own and you can obviously get better quality cucumbers!
At right is a of picture cucumbers from my garden - they are SO easy to grow. But be sure to grow the varieties that are labeled "pickling cucumbers" - they will be much more crisp!
The picture at right shows a good cucumber for pickling (bottom) and a bad one (top). The good one is dark green, firm, and not bloated. It has lots of warts!
The bad one is overripe, it has yellow or white areas in the skin, and the warts are almost all gone. If you cut it open, you will see developed seeds. You don't want seeds!
Overripe cucumbers make mushy pickles.
Step 2 - How many cucumbers?
It takes about 3 or 4 cucumbers to fill a pint jar. Each cucumber is about 4 - 5 inches long and you will cut off the ends so they will fit with ¼-inch to spare..
Step 3 - Get the jars and lids sanitizing
The dishwasher is fine for the jars; especially if it has a "sanitize" cycle. I get that going while I'm preparing everything else, so it's done by the time I'm ready to fill the jars. If you don't have a dishwasher, submerge the jars in a large pot (the canner itself) of water and bring it to a boil.
Be sure to let it go through the rinse cycle to get rid of any soap!
Get the canner heating up
Fill the canner about 1/2 full of water and start it heating (with the lid on).
Start the water for the lids
Put the lids into the small pot of boiling water for at least several minutes. Note: everything gets sanitized in the water bath (step 7) anyway, so this just helps to ensure there is no spoilage later!)
Need lids, rings and replacement jars?
Get them all here, delivered direct to your home, at the best prices on the internet!
Step 4 -Wash and cut the vegetables!
I'm sure you can figure out how to wash the cucumbers and onions in plain cold water.
You will need to cut a 1/16-inch slice off the blossom end of the cucumbers and discard, but you can leave the stem end and ¼-inch of the stem attached, or slice it off, as you prefer. Then cut the cukes into 3/16-inch slices, cross-wise.
Slice the onions thinly (1/8 inch or less)
Step 5 - Combine cucumbers and onions in a large bowl.
Add salt to the sliced cucumbers and thinly sliced onions. Cover with 2 inches crushed or cubed ice
Step 6 - Refrigerate
Refrigerate the cucumber/onion mix for 3 to 4 hours, adding more ice as needed. Then drain and rinse, discarding the liquid.
Step 7 - Combine the other ingredients in a separate pot and boil
Combine these ingredients in a large pot. and boil for 10 minutes. Be sure to use a NON-metal pot - or a coated metal (teflon, silverstone, enamel, etc.) without breaks in the coating. The metal reacts with the vinegar and makes the pickle solution turn cloudy.
- 2 tbsp mustard seed
- 1-1/2 tbsp celery seed
- 1 tbsp ground turmeric
- 4 cups white vinegar (5 percent)
- 4 and 1/2 cups sugar (if you are diabetic, use Stevia (or if you prefer, Splenda), or you can omit sugar altogether)
Note about Pickle Mixes
To interject a crass commercial here - hey, my wife says I've got to pay for the website somehow :) I have found the best (crispest, best tasting) pickles from a mix are with the "Mrs. Wages Polish Dill Refrigerator Pickle Mix" They REALLY are good AND you don't need a canner - you store them in your fridge right after making them. They're ready to eat in 24 hours! Our affiliate sells the mixes (and at really good prices, too)
Whether you want dills or sweet pickles; canning them or straight into the refrigerator; there is a mix for every taste and need here!Get them all here, delivered direct to your home, at the best prices on the internet! Get everything you need to make pickles: mixes, salt, brine, etc. here!
Step 8 - Drain the cukes/onions and add to the hot liquid
Drain the cucumbers and onions. Add them to the hot mix from step 7and slowly reheat to boiling.
Step 9 - Fill the jars
Fill the jars with slices and cooking syrup, leaving 1/2-inch headspace.
Step 10 - Process the sealed jars
Adjust lids and process according to one of the two methods below. The first method is easiest, but the second method yields firmer pickles:
a. Put them in the canner and keep them covered with at least 1 inch of water. Keep the water boiling. Boil them for 10 minutes (or as directed by the instructions with your canner). Remember to adjust for altitudes (see below) and larger jars!
Table 1. Recommended process time for Bread-and-Butter Pickles in a boiling-water canner.
Process Time at Altitudes of
Style of Pack
Jar Size
0 - 1,000 ft
1,001 - 6,000 ft
Above 6,000 ft
Pints or Quarts
10 min
b. OR use this
low-temperature pasteurization treatment:.
The following treatment results in a better product texture but must be carefully managed to avoid possible spoilage.
Place jars in a canner filled half way with warm (120º to 140ºF) water.
Then, add hot water to a level 1 inch above jars.
Heat the water enough to maintain 180 to 185ºF water temperature for 30 minutes.
Check with a candy or jelly thermometer to be certain that the water temperature is at least 180ºF during the entire 30 minutes. Temperatures higher than 185ºF may cause unnecessary softening of pickles.
Step 11 - Done
Lift the jars out of the water and let them cool without touching or bumping them in a draft-free place (usually takes overnight) You can then remove the rings if you like, but if you leave them on, at least loosen them quite a bit, so they don't rust in place due to trapped moisture. Once the jars are cool, you can check that they are sealed verifying that the lid has been sucked down. Just press in the center, gently, with your finger. If it pops up and down (often making a popping sound), it is not sealed. If you put the jar in the refrigerator right away, you can still use it. Some people replace the lid and reprocess the jar, then that's a bit iffy. If you heat the contents back up, re-jar them (with a new lid) and the full time in the canner, it's usually ok.
When can you start eating the pickles? Well, it takes some time for the seasonings to be absorbed into the pickles. After processing and cooling, jars should be stored 4 to 5 weeks to develop ideal flavor. Ah... the wait...
Variation for firmer pickles:
(replace steps 4 to 8 above with these steps instead)
1. Wash cucumbers.
2. Cut 1/16-inch off blossom end and discard. Cut into 3/16-inch slices.
3. Mix 1 cup pickling lime and 1/2 cup salt to 1 gallon water in a 2- to 3-gallon crock or enamelware container. Avoid inhaling lime dust while mixing the lime-water solution.
4. Soak cucumber slices in lime water for 12 to 24 hours, stirring occasionally. I keep them in the fridge during this time.
5. Remove from lime solution, rinse, and resoak 1 hour in fresh cold water.
6. Repeat the rinsing and soaking steps two more times. Handle carefully, as slices will be brittle.
7. Drain well.

Home Canning Kits
This is the same type of standard canner that my grandmother used to
make everything from applesauce to jams and jellies to tomato and
spaghetti sauce. This complete kit includes everything you need and lasts
for years: the canner, jar rack, jar grabber tongs, lid lifting wand, a
plastic funnel, labels, bubble freer, and the bible of canning, the Ball
Blue Book. It's much cheaper than buying the items separately. You'll
never need anything else except jars & lids (and the jars are reusable)!
There is also s simple kit with just the canner and rack, and a pressure
canner, if your want to do vegetables (other than tomatoes). To see
more canners, of different styles, makes and prices, click here!

Erik Magnussen's vacuum jug with its unique rocker stopper was introduced in 1977 as follow-up to Arne Jacobsen's Cylinda-Line. Just like Arne Jacobsen's design the stringent cylindrical shaped, graphic appearance of the vacuum jug expresses a minimalism and functionality that remains ahead of its time. With over 30 years of success, the line is celebrated by Stelton with release of six limited jubilee jugs, for which this timeless classic received the Danish Design Prize 2007, the only product ever receiving this prestigious award twice.
Material(s): Mat ABS plastic and glass filler

Manufacturer: Stelton
Stelton was founded in Denmark, 1960 with humble beginnings selling steel hollowware. When administrative director Peter Holmblad established a cooperation with the leading Danish architect and designer Arne Jacobsen in 1964 they saught to create a true line of tableware where correlation of design between the individual items would always ensure harmonious table settings. The result was the now famous Cylinda-Line which was launched in 1967 and immediately attracted considerable attention for its serene and functionalist design. The company rapidly grew in Denmark and worldwide due to the success of Cylinda-Line.
Today, Stelton offers five different design-lines with products from more than 20 top-designers and thereby represents once again one of the most innovative and front-running companies of its kind.

Good morning ladies, how are you this Thursday morning?
|Thu, 05-02-2013 - 9:50am
My 3 year old temper tantrum thrower was in rare form last night and this morning. I'm going to keep repeating to myself that its just a phase and i have to stand firm, sigh... Do over number 6 with co-worker for lunch, we'll see if its a go. If not, I have errands to run instead. I have several projects to work on at work right now so I will probably be busy most of the day. Tonight, lots of laundry to fold and put away, some invoicing for DH, and hopefully a bit of relaxing eventually.
For dinner, something with chicken in it, either I'll grill some, or if I run errands at lunch I'll pick up some chicken gravy and we'll do chicken and dumplings.
Have a good one!

UGH! We were suppose to be on the road an hour ago heading towards a CIvil War living history field trip. We overslept. There is no way we can get there in time. Thankfully we have a Civil War reenactment happening in our town, so he will get the experience, I'm out the money for today though:(
Zeph is building. I'm vegging. In a bit school will start. I have to go to the library and the post office sometime today. I have several emails waiting for my response.
Tonight is adult/youth bowling. Not quite sure what I'll do with my time alone.

It was a slow starter kind of morning for us. Matthew and Tim got home around 12:30 this morning and Matthew must have thought he'd get to sleep late and go into school late. The kids stays up till 1 or 2 am and gets up at 7am fine. I stopped for a Dunkin Donut before work. My office mate isn't here again and I am suppose to order office supplies. I guess I can get started on it and save it. NOt sure why she isn't here. She must be feeling sick to not be here. After work I will stop at Costco for a few things and then home. Homework and chores in planned and we might go check out the art festival at the high school tonight. The kids have no idea if they have stuff in it.
Dinner will be burgers.

Hi everyone. HOpe you had a good day. It was a hectic one at work for me. I'd hoped to go in early for the faculty meeting but found out before work that not only was our teacher out again, and our aide was out (planned) but one of the other TA's had to take a sick day. So I was in early, setting up. IN the end we were short a person and the day was crazy but we managed.
Ian had a regular school day. Kayleigh had school, then GSA, then volunteering at the art center and after dinner (sweet and sour popcorn chicken over brown rice), she will pick up her rabbit who had his neutering appt today.
I came home, washed the car, exercised and after dinner, once I clean up the kitchen, I hope to read a little, watch some tv, balance my checkbook etc

English 482: Communicating in the digital age
Dennis Baron
Fall 2012
Mon and Weds, 3:30 - 4:45 pm
There is no doubt that the digital revolution has penetrated every aspect of our communication processes. Most of us do all of our writing on keyboards and much of our talking takes place on a cell phone, when we're not using it to text.
These changes in our reading, writing and talking practices have inspired both enthusiasm and fear. Computers are praised as tools for democratizing information and liberating the oppressed, for leveling class and gender distinctions, for expanding the frontiers of knowledge and bringing both enlightenment and a better life to everyone. Yet they are also condemned as tools for controlling information flow, restricting access to knowledge, subjugating the world's oppressed, increasing the gap between the haves and have-nots, spreading lies, fraud and disinformation, and condemning us all to a life of ignorance and carpal tunnel syndrome. . . read more
Attendance: This is a discussion course. Your informed presence is essential. Excessive absence and poor preparation (in other words, failure to read the assignments in time for class discussion) will affect your final grade.
Plagiarism: The digital revolution may be changing how we think of intellectual property (we'll look at this issue in detail in this course), but even digitally-enabled academic culture requires us to acknowledge all of our sources and to do our own work.
Writing: There will be one short essay and a longer project tailored to the student's interest.
Reading: All readings will be available online.
Grading: Term project (60%); group presentation (20%); participation (20%).

Dec 15: Your final paper is due by 5 pm today, preferably via email.
Group projects: I ask each of you to sign up for a 3-4 person group presentation. Plan for a talk that is about 45 minutes long, one that will generate activities and discussion for the rest of the class period. It is up to each group to allocate responsibility for identifying subtopics and coordinate the presentation. I will suggest some supplementary class readings for the topics. Presenters should provide us with factual information but not tell us what we already know. You should always analyze your subject and assess its significance. And you should prepare a series of questions to focus class discussion following your presentation. Your presentation may take any number of forms, from illustrated lecture/discussion to powerpoint to video -- by all means use whatever technologies we have available to enhance the material -- but all presentations should go beyond the simple reporting of information and include both analysis and interpretation of the subject under discussion. Your final paper may grow out of some aspect of your group report topic, so I urge you to pick your presentation area carefully. But to ensure coverage, not everyone may get their first choice of presentation topics, so don't feel that you are locked into doing a final paper on that topic. We'll talk in class about kinds of topics you might pick for the final paper, and there will be a handout on choosing topics as well. In addition to resources that you will find on your own (strongly recommended), you may also find useful data and analysis in the many reports of the Pew Internet in American Life Project: http://www.pewinternet.org/index.asp
Presentation Topics:
1. Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and the socialnet. An offshoot of the blog that combines features of diary, resume, billboard, photo album, and record collection, the social networking sites sharply underline the generation gap that we have come to associate with the digital revolution. Wildly popular on campuses, among teens, and young adults, these opportunities to combine self-expression with unsolicited advertising have captivated users, who check their pages many times a day and have begun to use them instead of email or IM for communication. But activity is not all age-graded. The fastest growing demographic on Facebook is adults over 35, for example. Schools and employers now fear social networking as they once feared blogs, IM, and email before them. What characterizes a Facebook page? A Twitter feed? How have these genres developed and where are they heading? How are they becoming subject to overisght, control, and commercialism?
2. Writing online:Wikipedia, fan fic, digital literature, and other forms of web-enabled and collaborative writing. The wiki allows an open or closed group of writers to collaborate on a project, one as small as a report or as large as Wikipedia itself, the online encyclopedia that seeks to become our chief source of information, and that draws praise for its democratic approach to writing while at the same time is slammed for its tolerance of inaccuracy. Urban Dictionary is another kind of collaborative, and there are many more. Explore the writing space -- the sandbox, as Wikipedia refers to it -- that is enabled by the computer and the Net.
3. Intellectual property in the age of digital reproduction. The printing press mechanized the reproduction of words and images to allow for the mass production and dissemination of ideas. With the coming of the press, print "factories" turned out words the same way that Henry Ford's factories would later turn out automobiles. One result of the print revolution was a rethinking of the nature of authorship and the ownership of words. The digital revolution adds a new spin to textual reproduction, producing more and more readers and more and more creators of text, sound and image. And it too is changing our notions of who owns the digital property -- the words, sounds, and images -- that's on the Web. Is the notion of the author dead or dying? Is copyright going the way of clay tablets? Will plagiarism be decriminalized as we upload and download everything from mp3 files and torrents of the latest Harry Potter to term papers and episodes of Law and Order?
4.The digital revolution and the schools. Education has always looked to technology to supplement, and sometimes to replace, face to face instruction. While schools continue to invest in computers and hop on the Internet bandwagon, critics argue that faith in computers as educational tools is misplaced, that students and teachers, while they use the machines, are using them not so much to "do lessons" as to do other things. Critics point as well to the failed educational technologies of the past: radio, film, the filmstrip, the VCR, and televised instruction. Is the computer going to meet the fate of its predecessors? Or will it bring literacy to a knowledge-hungry world?
5. The dark side of the web. The Internet offers vast amounts of information and unlimited opportunities for writing and reading, but like all literacy technologies, it carries with it danger as well as opportunity. In what ways do digital technologies differ from their predecessors in offering a voice to spammers, scammers, criminals, kooks, weirdoes, perverts, molesters, terrorists and fanatics?
6. Censorship and the internet. All technologies of communication bring with them the question of regulation. Writing (literacy in general) offers us access to knowledge, but like the bite of the first apple, sometimes too much knowledge, or knowledge about forbidden subjects, is considered dangerous. Historically, writing may be liberating, but it also brings with it censorship (the First Amendment protects free speech, but not all speech is covered by its protection). Is the Internet any different in that regard? Many countries already limit what their citizens can see and do on line. It's not always repressive regimes like those associated with Myanmar, North Korea, Saudi Arabia, China and Cuba, where the internet is perceived as a tool for dissidents and revolutionaries. France and Germany, too, place restrictions on what is available online in their web spaces. US legislators are greatly concerned with protecting what children can have access to online, and child pornography on the net is illegal pretty much world-wide. Should the Net be an "anything goes" environment or one that is regulated? What forms of control exist for conventional technologies; what regulations need to be in place in the digital world? Do we need to put controls in place or can we rely on users of the Net to police themselves? How much censorship is enough? How much is too much?
7. The digital divide. Are computers creating a world of haves and have nots separated by a digital divide? Is the anonymity that digital communication affords an opportunity to level the playing field or to commit fraud, theft, and deception? Is the digital world a safe or a dangerous space? Is it gender-neutral? Is it bringing us together or isolating us further from one another? Is the English language threatening to take over cyberspace in the same ways that it has taken over the global economy? How are Americans using the internet?
8. Privacy on the Internet. Technologies of communication always involved a tradeoff: we sacrifice privacy for the advantages of going further out into the wide, wide world. The Internet and the cell phone are reconfiguring our notions of public and private. The World Wide Web offers us a window on the world, bring unprecedented amounts of information to our desktop. Yet at the same time, our presence on the Net allows observers to gather all sorts of information about us: our searches, our very keystrokes become public information, exposing us as never before to the prying eyes of marketers and government agents. Have we entered the "1984" big-brotherism that Orwell feared so much, where a camera is always on us, a microphone monitors our speech, a trackpad sucks data from our fingertips? Or are we simply giving up an unimportant aspect of our privacy for the advantages that surfing provides?

Will post pics soon. My date is fast approaching! Dec 17th. I finally was able... more
"26 Year Old with 2kids - Rockville, MD"
First of all I have to say Dr. Tattelbaum is GREAT!!!!!! He is the only doctor that I consulted with. After meeting him I knew he was the one for me. He is very friendly and takes the time to answer all your questions and concerns. He explained the pros and cons and was very honest with the expectations and did not try to smooth talk me into the procedure. His staff is very friendly and nice.... more
"Tummy Tuck & Lipo amazing results!"
Scheduled my surgery for Nov 5...beyond excited! Full tummy tuck with lipo of flanks and back. Now just working to drop 15 to 20 lbs in the next two months. Size 16, hoping to be standard size 12 after weight loss and surgery. Already lost 25 lbs through cutting calories (my fitness pal) and zumba. Taking 3.5 weeks off from work. Hoping that will be enough! ...but who's counting. LOL I... more
"42 Yrs Old, with 2 Kids and a Much..."
Words can not describe how happy I am with the result that I got from the Tummy Tuck by Dr. Tattelbaum! He has made me a new person! I was getting so depressed from the big belly I had from having 2 kids. And after all sorts of exercises, it did not make that big of a difference. So through a friend's recommendation, I found Dr. T. From the first meeting, he treated me like family. I felt... more
"Finally Going to the FLAT SIDE!!!...."
I have been on this site for a few months now. I decided to post because my time for surgery is drawing near and I'm in my feelings.. (lol) My surgery is scheduled for Thurs. 12/12/13. I was extremly nervous about having this TT done, telling myself that I wont wake up or that something will go wrong and a few days later....Im gone.. OMGoodness these thoughts have been haunting me for years... more
"Anxious, Excited, Nervous -..."
I just had my first consult and really liked the doctor and was able to get on the books in 3 weeks!!! So much to do and so little time. I'm nervous about the pain---it's my first major surgery! I just keep gong back to my reason for doing this and how much better I feel after a few weeks. It's a lifetime of Christmas gifts I'm buying myself. This time three weeks from now, I'll most... more
"TT with Lipo on Flanks and MR"
My consult day is finally here! I'm waiting for Dr. T to come in the room. Excited and nervous at the same time. I have tons of questions...hope I don't annoy him. As I was typing this he just popped his head in and apologized for the delay and said he would be right with me. What doctor does that?? So polite. I already like him :-) So I had my consult the other day with Dr. T and I have... more
"The Final Countdown…this Journey..."
I did my homework, researched the doctors, had my consultations, made my decision to put my dream in action, booked my date and paid for my procedure. That was the easy part. I have 6 more days before my surgery and the emotional roller coaster has begun. Anxious, nervous, excited, reluctant, hopeful. I am a 49 year old mom of 2 great kids (23 & 19) and married to my best friend for the last... more
"Time to Get my Body Back! -..."
Well like most of you, I have extra skin from having two beautiful kids ages 3 and 9 months. I'am 5'7 and currently 170lbs although I would like to lose another 20lbs before surgery. When I was pregnant with my first child I reached 250lbs and I never wanted to see that number again. I exercised and lost 86lbs but then got pregnant with my second and went right back up to 230lbs, so that's why... more
"Finally Made It to the Flatlands! -..."
Hi ladies, I had my surgery on Wednesday, May 15th @ 10am. Dr. Tattlebaum is the best there is. It had been a year since our consultation and before he marked me up he told me he couldn't make me flat because I'm full-figured. He saw the disappointment on my face but I had to look @ the big picture...as long as I no longer had the saggy skin I'm happy. The good news is that when he marked me... more

So I've wanted a TT for years now. l can't believe it is finally coming true! I have a surgery date, however I'm excited and scared all at the same time. There's times where I think I have completely lost my mind, but when I think of the results I'm so excited. I guess I'm nervous of the unknown. I have watched video's of the procedure so I know exactly what to expect and what will happen. I'm... more
"Looking for the Best - Rockville, MD"
A million thanks to Dr. Michaels. Being a person inclined to skepticism, I really had my doubts. Trusting someone to sculpture a part of me based only on their credentials was really hard and then I met Dr. Michaels – really down to earth, humble with a great sense of humor yet always professional. Dr. Michaels is very detailed – master of his trade! I had a tummy tuck done. After two... more

Hi! I'm 56 yrs old, 5'7", 160 lbs. 4 years ago I went through aggressive treatment for breast cancer (lumpectomies, chemo, radiation) which had a major impact on my body (boobs & belly) and confidence. I always had a proportional body before cancer, so I want to get rid of my post-cancer 10-month prego belly and regain my confidence to be nude in front of my husband again. After 4... more

"One Month Post-Op - on the Flat..."
I've been a hardcore lurker, so now I am here to be brave and post pics. Honestly, I don't know how some of you post pics and reviews during week one! I barely remember that week. I stayed on my pain meds and slept A LOT. My eyes couldn't even focus enough to read the TV menu, lol! I started out in June of 2012 and set my surgery date. I interviewed doctors (I recommend researching... more
"I Can FINALLY Get my Body Back -..."
Hi TT Sistas, I am a 40 year old mother of four children (ages 15, 21, 23, and 25). After having my last child, I've had a hard time trying to get rid of my jelly belly and pouch. I have contemplated having a tummy tuck for years, but never had the courage to do it. Well, the time has come.....I'm ready to take my body back and increase my self-esteem. My date is fast approaching...and I'm... more
"A year and a half later, still..."
I had my first son at 18 and lost my sexy stomach at that point, but it wasn't too bad. My second son clinched it for me though. He was 9 1/2 pounds. I've hidden my stomach since. I just figured this was my cross to bear. As time has gone on, it's become more and more depressing. My belly button resembles a sad face, which is exactly the face i make when i see it. I'm tired of tucking gross... more
"My Tummy Tuck Journey...- Frederick, MD"
I had my tummy tuck in August 2011. The pain was more then I ever could have imagined. But by the sixth week I was feeling like myself again. My stomach was flatter but not the results I wanted. I swelled for months and the swelling caused loose skin again. I also ended up odd shaped. The top of my abdomen was larger then the bottom. So by October the surgeon was discussing a revision.In... more

Nikita Review: Everyone Has a Priceby Carla Day at . Updated at . Comments
Everyone has a price. Everyone.
Whether it's money, a new arm, the ability to walk, a loved one's life, or something else ... everyone has a price at which they can be manipulated or bought. Nikita ended up in the Oval Office with a gun to save Michael. And Ramon worked with the Shop for the ability to walk again.
What would it take for Nikita to give up the hunt? New identities? No. She wanted the Shop guy and Amanda to turn themselves in. She drives a hard bargain. Amanda thought it was ridiculous, but he saw it as her price.
Nikita Season 4 Episode 4 brought an end to part of the story. With only six episodes to close out the series, the story has moved from plot point to plot point with very little if any depth. The writers wasted no time to get to the "Pay-Off" . They uncovered the new imposter with Ramon, stopped the missile theft, were contacted by the Shop, unmasked MDK and Phillip Jones, found them in Dubai, blew up the building, and regrouped to recover.
It made sense for the Shop to have the MDK arm given their technological advances. What didn't make sense is that Jones would be willing to give it all up so easily. He placed imposters, "killed" the President, the FBI Deputy director and more in order to start a war. He gave that all up in order to stop Nikita from chasing them?
That didn't make much sense. Unless, his plan to start a war was only one tiny part of his plan. With Jones supposedly arrested and Amanda dead, he believes Nikita will retire and he will be free to continue his work. Was she that big a threat? Now her name's been cleared and the existence of imposters is out there.
On the surface Nikita season 4 has been a blast to watch, but it loses some of its plausibility when examined. With two episodes left, just about anything could happen. Jones and Amanda will move on to a new phase of their plan. Will Nikita fall for Jones' manipulation? I doubt it. Jones was wrong about Nikita wanting to give up the life.
She doesn't know anything different. She'll know that the Shop is more than one man and Amanda. She won't give up until she figures out their secrets and that puts Jones and Amanda at continued risk. Nikita's not done. Not yet. It's possible that she will settle down at some point, but it's not yet.
One disappointment this season is the separation of Nikita and Alex. They were always a formidable team and have a special bond. I'm looking forward to their reunion and I hope it comes next week rather than in the finale. The whole team needs to come together to finish this out. It's too bad that it doesn't look like Owen will be part of that team.
Sam's on a dangerous path. When he tries to pay off his debt with glass, it's not going to end well. Perhaps, Team Nikita will bail him out. I don't expect Owen to return, but if Sam can't embrace his Owen side, I hope he dies for his betrayal. He's disloyal and not a good guy.
While Nikita will probably not have an entirely happy ending, I hope it's not a tragedy. They saved the President's life, so perhaps they can go work for her as a special team. Not Division! A small, intimate, talented special ops team to protect the country. If not, retiring on a beach or in a cabin somewhere works.
How do you want the series to end? Happy? Tragic? In between? Could Nikita and her team give up the life entirely?

This was NOT a good episode. The writing was uncharacteristically sloppy for Nikita, and its plot did not flow organically. It did, however, set-up the final two episodes pretty well. Still, they could have done a better job here. Especially after the first three episodes, which were near perfect.
I loved the episode. They only have 6 episodes this season and they're moving so fast so much has happened in the first 4 episodes. When te missile hit and we saw Amanda die I was like yay Amanda's dead then I was like wait she's probably not this is Amanda she wouldn't die so easily. I can't wait to see what happens with Sam and those fake diamonds. I really want Alex and Nikita back together because like it said in the preview this war started with them and it should end with both of them. I know they'll be together in the finale but I hope they ge together in the next episode I really want the team back together especially them. Can't wait till the next episode.
I'm so upset that we've seen 4 out of 6 episodes and Nikita and Alex haven't had a single scene together. I also hope their reunion is next week, but it's already not going to be enough.
yes yes i dont want amanda to die so amaazing epp god nikita giving me life
The fake Amanda ruined the whole episode for me its cheap copout writing
such a bad ass episode !! only two episodes left of the best television show on basic TV
wizarddrummer. Do you even know how much such a big missile weighs and most likely gets a truck to drive slower than it can because of the huge weight of the missile.
While I really like this show, it's hardly the best television show on basic TV. Sometimes the writing of this show has annoyed me to such extent that I considered dropping it. For me, the eye candy that has pulled me through the less than enchanting writing faux pas. The writing on the show, at times is very over the top and campy in order to increase the 'dramatic elements' to where it becomes ludicrous. In this episode, when Nikita and Michael first come on to the scene where the truck is (bear in mind that we have a world war at stake) they hesitated firing on the people (and remember they had automatic weapons) and the truck so that the truck could 'get away' and travel at 'super slow speed' so that Nikita could 'catch up' with it. Scenes like this annoy me as much as those scenes (in any show) where the pursuer actually gets to the elevator door as it is shutting; only to slam his hand against the door AFTER it closes - when in fact, IF the pursuer had actually put his hand IN the path of the closing elevator doors, the safety mechanism would have stopped the doors from closing! The more realistic and MUCH scarier / dramatic element would be that the pursuer would be running full tilt and just, not getting TO the door in time; about 3 feet away and can't stop doing a full body slam into it THAT'S WAY MORE REALISTIC!.
This show is full of campy dramatics like this.

FOX News Channel's New Primetime Lineup To Debut On October 7th
FOX News Channel (FNC) will unveil its new primetime lineup on Monday, October 7 th, marking the 17 th anniversary of the network, announced Roger Ailes, Chairman and CEO, FOX News.
Greta Van Susteren will officially kick-off the new line-up with her signature On the Record with Greta Van Susteren at 7PM/ET. From there, Bill O'Reilly will continue hosting the most-watched cable news program The O'Reilly Factor at 8PM/ET. At 9PM/ET, Megyn Kelly will debut The Kelly File while Sean Hannity will take over the 10PM/ET timeslot with Hannity for his solo hour. Chief News Anchor and Managing Editor Shepard Smith will be available throughout to insert the latest breaking news into the new programming schedule via the FOX News Deck.
As the newest edition to the line-up, The Kelly File (9-10PM/ET) will focus on late-breaking stories in a live format as well as in-depth investigative reports interspersed with newsmaker interviews. While embracing a stronger social media presence, the new program will capitalize on Kelly's skills as a former litigator, and create a unique platform for developing angles as events unfold.
In making the announcement, Ailes said, "As the network continues to dominate with the top 13 programs in cable news, FOX News already redefined primetime viewing to extend well beyond the antiquated 8-11PM format. We've developed a deep bench of engaging and thought-provoking personalities that have grown with FOX News as it has evolved into the most influential and successful cable network in television. These changes will enable the network to continue setting the industry standard for years to come."Now live at 7PM/ET weeknights, On the Record will showcase the news Americans care about and explore how they impact our everyday lives. Van Susteren will bring viewers the latest facts through interviews with high profile newsmakers in her tough and fair signature style as well as on the scene reporting. The program's popular blog, Gretawire.com will enable her to continue delivering updates at any given time via live stream technology. In commenting on the announcement, Van Susteren said, "After 11 ½ years number one at 10pm and driving home near midnight, I am 'to the moon thrilled' at a new challenge (and a new drive! Half the year I won't even need headlights!)."

Hosted by Rob Powers, the evening's program will include a special Welcome to the MCM by Comcast SportsNet, the MCM Expert Panel Q&A, great music, cheerleaders, giveaways including a commemorative first timers pin. It's the best way to meet other first timers and share the excitement of MCM Weekend.
Tickets are $10 per runner and $15 per guest. All First Timers who register for the Pep Rally will receive a confirmation email that serves as the ticket to enter the event.

Yoga is a common practice for people who want to bring a sense of calm into their lives, get into shape, or connect with their spiritual side. It is also becoming a more common component of substance abuse treatment.
Yoga therapy can help your brain recover from a drug or alcohol addiction. In recent studies, yoga has been shown to increase the levels of GABA in the brain by more than 20 percent. This is important because people dealing with substance abuse usually exhibit low levels of GABA. If an activity such as yoga can increase these levels, even for short periods of time, then people struggling with substance abuse can more conscientiously focus on their recovery.
Benefits of Yoga Therapy for Substance Abuse
Former substance abusers who practice yoga say that yoga fosters the kind of discipline and self-peace that is needed in a 12-step program. That is because yoga forces your mind and body to work in perfect synergy.
Yoga therapy can release pent-up emotions that you might be feeling while in the course of substance abuse treatment. You will learn how to acknowledge and properly channel these emotions when they seem overwhelming. Many asanas (or postures) facilitate acceptance, which is a major theme in many substance abuse treatment programs. Your body will manifest the internal states of mind necessary for recovery from substance abuse.
Yoga therapy has been shown to reduce the following symptoms that often accompany a drug or alcohol addiction:
- Depression
- Anger and hostility
- Anxiety and tension
- Fatigue and inertia
- Impulsive behaviors
- Confusion
Getting Connected to Yoga Therapy
Like any new sport, hobby, or way of thinking, yoga can be difficult to master or "get into" at first. Learning yoga in a class is a great way to start. Being with a group of yoga learners like you can be therapeutic. Once you are familiar with basic asanas, you can practice at home as a daily or weekly ritual.
Other practitioners of yoga say that it connects them with the divine world, which is another theme in 12-step programs and substance abuse treatment. For those who do not follow any particular religion, yoga can be a safe way to explore the spiritual world, which can offer hope and healing to anyone trying to conquer substance abuse.
Yoga is so popular these days that most cities, even small ones, have at least one yoga class. Ask your counselor, therapist, or substance abuse treatment center to recommend a yoga center to you, or do a simple search on the Internet for people in your area who teach yoga therapy.
If you find that you joined a class that is too challenging, don't be afraid to switch to a class that meets you at your level and physical capabilities. Like in your 12-step program, have patience with yourself.

The Mole is a Badnik created by Doctor Eggman that appears in both the Wii and Nintendo DS versions of Sonic Colors. The Mole seems to be a successor or another version of Grounder.
Moles are basic looking Badniks, that feature golden yellow drill nose, diving glasses on its head and sharp metallic fingers on arms to dig fast, while it is able to move forward with two continuous tracks. There exist two versions of Mole Badniks, although both versions only differ slightly. The first variation is basic purple one, while second variation is bigger and colored blue. These Badniks are usually seen on groups, waiting underground.
Moles are located almost every level of the game, where the player is using the Yellow Drill to traverse underground. Moles are trying to attack toward the player by chasing down behind or lateral directions. The player is able to destroy Badniks simply by drilling forward on them. If a Mole is not underground, it will twitch and explode. The Nintendo DS version of the game only features the first variation of these Badniks, which apparently instead of purple are seen colored blue.

I agree to some extent but one day's notice should be enough IMHO
BBC News - U-turn signalled over no-notice inspections for schools
This is sensible in my opinion.
At zero notice, I can see the inspectors turning up and the HT not being there or there being no lessons for a targeted subject area. At least a phone call two days in advance can ensure the right people are on site.
I agree to some extent but one day's notice should be enough IMHO
Pffft, the whole thing is a scam. They should have zero notice assessments. They may need to adjust the assessment criteria but getting two weeks notice is like giving them the oppertunity to assess a different school instead. They end up with stuff all of an idea what the school is really like as the full dog and poney show is trotted out for their benifit.
This is teaching unions winning again over the interests of the children being 'educated'.

No notice is the best notice...change criteria to come back 2 weeks later to see governors and HT etc...but just show up, and inspect lessons, show them for how they really are...every school I have worked at, soon as ofsted is mentioned, the bad kids are shipped elsewhere and the school gets seen in a different light. Teachers want things fixed that they have never even mentioned were broken, they want the earth when it comes to technology, despite never asking for it previously...it makes no sense...do things as a surprise then see the vital people at a later date.
Nothing better than seeing a school on a surprise visit.
Martin (7th May 2012)
Points accepted... maybe it is Ofsted who have to accept the need to return at a later date should the desired people not be there.
I have just been discussing this with a teacher friend who was subjected to a trial no notice inspection... and she much preferred it to an inspection with notice.
featured_spectre (5th May 2012)
elsiegee40 (6th May 2012)
I don't know if this is true but I heard that there was an article in the Telegraph about a PE teacher being given an unsatisfactory observation during a games lesson because some of the pupils were standing around doing very little. They were fielding in a cricket match! It does seem that some Ofsted inspectors really have little idea?
What gets me is that the backing down is coming due to heads complaining about it being invasive or that it treats the profession of teaching like they're bad or something.
That response is typical of the reaction to monitoring I've seen from other aspects of teaching too - for example in my last school there was a proposal to put CCTV cameras in the IT rooms, but one of the rooms was controlled by a single teacher and she refused as she felt like we'd be spying on her - so vandalism continued in that room and we couldn't get it sorted out.
They're all missing the point - the only way to ensure quality of work and to ensure things aren't going wrong is through outside input. I had an ICT audit earlier this year and I welcomed them with open arms - I want to know if I'm doing something wrong, its the only way I can improve!
Why does being inspected with no notice mean they're being treated badly? Surely the right response would be to go 'ok, a new challenge, lets do the best we can for our kids'?
The Head not being around should not be an issue as someone has the legal authority delegated to them whilst they are away (usually the DH). This is an area that falls under the quality of leadership in and management of the school.
You would think that the assessor would be able to pick up on the whitewash but even if they are good they could still easily miss things that have been well hidden.
Any other profession complining about not being notified a good time in advance that they were going to be assessed would be questioned about what they were trying to hide. Why are teachers so different?
Because very few other professionals are treated so un-professionally by our govementsWhy are teachers so different?
Ofsted inspections are like having the Spanish Inqusition desceding on you
Imagine an ICT inspector comes in and finds that some of you laptops aren't making the standard for boot up time - you argue that they have slow processors and that the seek times aren't as good as the other ones. This cuts no ice with the inspectors and they label your network as "satisfactory". The next day, some "experts" come in from your ISP to show you how to spend in-ordinate amounts of time and effort to make these slow laptops match the "average" boot time.
sparkeh (8th May 2012)
TBH would it not be good if when there was a problem it was highlighted and help provided, even if it was experts to give new ideas on how to do things better or at least come in and say that its slow because... your computers are junk. It does not really sound to much like a punnishment, more like free and enforced research.
If some things checked are not relevant - like documented lesson plans - why don't the unions take issue with this with Ofsted rather than threats of strikes?
And I'd love to see Ofsted see how they talk to support staff during inspection times - a member of staff had a go at one of my team for a non functioning projector that had allegedly been broken for a week - but not reported (it was turned off at the wall). When I asked the staff member if they had any back-up lesson plan for eventualities like this, they looked blankly at me.
There is no excuse for shouting or unprofessionalism. Are they same with the students when under pressure?
Personally I'd welcome an OFSTED for ICT Support. We work to the same level day in, day out. We don't rush round doing stuff that should already be in place for when an inspection is due.
Every day's notice gives an extra day to tart or cover something up. I've seen many examples of this over the years, from rapid redecoration to six months worth of unmarked work rapidly group marked.

You know - I'm constantly amazed at the ability of my fellow edugeekers to provide and run a faultless service everyday of the year surrounded by incompetent and lazy teachers and SMT.
Now unless I was working in the military or a nuclear power station where non-readiness to deal with emergencies could lead to fatal consequences, I'd hope that as a human being and employee that I could be given a bit of notice of an inspection so that I could present my best foot forward. (Like I used to in my previous job with QA inspections)

Rising New York City bands you need to know
From brainy MCs to guitar-wielding indie-rockers, here are the best bands and artists making noise right now

Bishop Nehru
At just 17, this native of nearby Rockland County has been lauded by Kendrick Lamar and electro kings Disclosure, whom he teamed up with earlier this year on the cut "You Stressin'." "My mom used to give me five dollars for lunch money," the self-taught (and currently un-enrolled) rapper and producer says, "and I saved it so I could buy equipment." Dig the deft wordsmith's skills on his seven-song EP with MF Doom, NehruvianDOOM, out this May.
How did your collaboration with Disclosure come about?
Oh man, it was weird, the way everything just happened. They did an interview on MTV, I think, when I was, like, not even really known. I had a mixtape or two out and had been played on the radio in London a few times. But in their interview they said they wanted to work with me. So my manager hit them up.
Stylistically, it's kind of an odd pairing. Were you worried about that going in?
Yeah, at first I was, actually. I thought I was going to be more on, like, the electronic side, more of the bass-heavy stuff. I'm a rapper, so people would think that's out of my place. But at the end of the day, I just looked at it as testing what I can do and expanding. And the beat wasn't, like, too crazy; it was still kind of hip-hop-ish.
I read an interview where you said people in New York are dicks. Do you still feel that way?
Yeah, and I'm not going to change. [Laughs] It's not really that they're dicks, it's that, when you go to London, it's just a whole different vibe. People are more polite; they have manners, there's less attitude. In London, like, people don't wake up upset; like, people here wake up mad. Well, Londoners probably wake up mad, but they don't show it.
Is there anyone you'd like to model your career after?
You know, I was just thinking about this: Jay Z. Not, like, music-wise, but what he did with his life, in that respect. Like, he saw what he wanted and got it.
Did people ever discourage you from trying to make it as a rapper?
No, no. There's a lot of people who give me advice, but nobody has ever really told me, you know, "Don't make music," or "How 'bout this instead of doing music?" Everybody's really told me—which makes me think that it's supposed to happen—"Keep doing what you're doing; you're on the right path."
