San Francisco, CA (Sports Network) - David Wright swiped four bases and knocked in the eventual game-winning run in the top of the ninth, as the New York Mets squeezed past the San Francisco Giants, 7-4, in the opener of a four-game series.
After San Francisco tied the contest in the eighth, the Mets fired back with three runs in the top of the ninth to go ahead 7-4. Brian Wilson (2-1) took over on the mound for the Giants and gave up a one-out double to Carlos Beltran, who would swipe third prior to a Gary Sheffield walk. Wright followed with a single to right and Ramon Castro added a two-out, two-run single.
Francisco Rodriguez gave up a double to Bengie Molina to lead off the home half of the ninth, but retired the next three batters in order to collect his 10th save of the year.
Wright went 3-for-3 at the plate with a pair of RBI, a run scored, and two walks for the Mets, who have alternated wins and losses in their last five games. Wright became the third player in club history to steal four bags in a game. Sheffield was 2-for-4 with two runs scored and a RBI.
John Maine was solid in 6 2/3 frames, allowing two runs on seven hits with four strikeouts and four walks to take a no-decision for New York, which started a 10-game road trip. Bobby Parnell (2-0) gave up two runs on three hits in the eighth but got the win for the Mets, who had seven stolen bases in the tilt.
"We have to do that at our ballpark. Coming here it's like our place where you can't sit back and play for the three-run home run," said Wright. "So, stealing bases, being a good situational hitting team -- this place kind of suits the style of play that we have to play back home."
Molina went 3-for-4 with a RBI for the Giants, who have dropped two in a row after a three-game winning streak. Juan Uribe went 2-for-2 with a RBI while Randy Winn and Edgar Renteria also drove in a run in defeat.
Jonathan Sanchez lasted 5 2/3 frames, allowing four runs on nine hits with three walks and five strikeouts in a no-decision for San Francisco.
"They are a team that runs. (Jonathan Sanchez) has got to get better at that. He doesn't hold runners well," said padres manager Bruce Bochy. "Overall, I thought it was a much improved outing for him. I thought his command and location were better. He threw strikes. He limited damage. It seemed he did a better job keeping his concentration tonight."
Trailing by two runs, the Giants tied the game at four in the eighth. Fred Lewis hit an infield single and Aaron Rowand walked off Parnell. The runners advanced to second and third on Travis Ishikawa's sacrifice bunt. Uribe then stroked an RBI single to left-center. Rowand held up at third but scored two batters later on Renteria's infield single.
The Mets took the early lead on Sheffield's RBI single in the first but San Francisco responded with a pair of runs in the bottom half of the inning.
With runners on the corners and one out, Molina stroked an RBI single to center. Winn hit a sacrifice fly to left two batters later. The Giants would load the bases but Ishikawa went down swinging to end the frame.
New York regained the lead in the third, using a two-out rally to plate two runs for a 3-2 edge. With two outs, Beltran singled and Sheffield stroked a ground-rule double to left. Wright then reached base on an infield single to knock in Beltran and move Sheffield to third. Sheffield then crossed the plate on a wild pitch from Sanchez.
The Mets loaded the bases with no outs in the fourth, but could only manage to score once. Luis Castillo grounded into a double play to drive in Castro, giving New York a 4-2 advantage. Alex Cora grounded out to end the inning.

Oscar-nominated actor James Garner has passed away at the age of 86.
From AP:
Garner, whose whimsical style in the 1950s TV Western "Maverick" led to a stellar career in TV and films such as "The Rockford Files" and his Oscar-nominated "Murphy's Romance," was found dead of natural causes at his home in the Brentwood area of Los Angeles Saturday evening, Los Angeles police officer Alonzo Iniquez said early Sunday.
Police responded to a call around 8 p.m. Pdt and confirmed Garner's identity from family members, Iniquez told The Associated Press.
There was no immediate word on a more specific cause of death. Garner had suffered a stroke in May 2008, just weeks after his 80th birthday.
Although he was adept at drama and action, Garner was best known for his low-key, wisecracking style, especially with his hit TV series, "Maverick" and "The Rockford Files. »

The world of cinema certainly has had its share of sympathetic bumbling and stumbling characters rich in both comedic and tragic layers and anything else in between. Some of these movie misfits are misunderstood and actually more aware then they appear. The combination of being slow-witted, clumsy, awkward, inept, unstable–it all has its entertaining points in the hapless scheme of things. Importantly, these bumbling and stumbling film figureheads generate a kind of loose-minded and in some cases underlying poignancy that resonates so soundly for global moviegoers to observe with embraced enthusiasm.
So let us take a look at a selection of klutzy candidates (both in seriousness and silliness) that inspire us to chuckle and root for in the column Whoops…Did I Do That?: Top 10 Film Bumblers and Stumblers (Note: the listing of the choices below are not in any particular order of preference):

Speaking of ACT, PSAT, etc. We find out results to Kenzie's Pre-ACT's soon; which reminds me, I think there is a meeting tomorrow night before the Choir concert! Oh dear, I'm going to have to dig around to find out!
|Wed, 11-30-2011 - 9:00pm
Had a "manadatory" meeting at work this afternoon. Found out that our group does not get along...think I'll go back to my oblivious corner and keep away from these odd situations, I'm better off not knowing that this stuff is going on. It was entertaining hearing my boss drop the F bomb though; never in a million years did I think she would do that! She meant business though; apparently not only are the adult women at the pool struggling with their adolescent years, but so are my co-workers. So glad I'm not involved with the stuff at work, I really hate drama in the workplace! Get enough of it elsewhere...sigh!

Jordyn won't have time to prep for the february test between the two cheer team's schedules for January and february. And she figured the June SAT would give her a bit of time off of school and done with exams to relax and prep for it. I don't know whT composite score she needs for GVSU, not high honestly, probably 24 which she should have no problem making since I made a 24 20 years ago and she's a heck of a lot smarter than I was! She is still planning on applying to university of Michigan, but even if she got in, she'd have to get a heck of a scholarship/financial aid package for her to be able to go there, especially considering she'd be out of state.
|Wed, 11-30-2011 - 9:13pm
I wish the little girls would stop eating all of jordyn's yogurt. I buy them the same flavors in the smaller cups, but they insist on eating her's.
|Wed, 11-30-2011 - 9:49pm
Ian just eats alll the yogurt, all the time.
I have no idea how Kayleigh will score on the ACT, but hopefully the prep course will be good for her and hopefully it'll finish before drivers ed starts.

It has been a really long day and now I am having weird computer issues. This is my 3rd attempt at a post. Maybe this time I'll actually get to post, rather than getting kicked out and losing it. aaagggghhhh.....

Historical Traveller Reviews of Crowne Plaza Cambridge Hotel
would certainly stay againfrom martysfan
the room was very clean, nicely furnished.
the shower was great which is unusual in a lot of hotels, the towels were clean and fluffy.the bedding was clean and the bed comfortable.
the buffet breakfast was one of the nicest weve had anywhere.
the only thing i didnt like was that the room was far too hot and the windows dont open. we did have a fan in the room which we had to use most of the time.but apart from that no complaints at all.
Wonderful hotel.... very comfortablefrom A TripAdvisor Member
of the most beautiful hotels I have stayed in anywhere..
The decor of the room was very nice..the bedding
very comfortable, with earth tones in the coverings,
and carpet; a large closet, and modern plumbing !
Shower with separate knobs for temperature and
volume of water (better than any other I saw in
Britain). Lots of fluffy towels; really a beautiful,
comfortable room, and it was huge... I really enjoyed
my stay there and would stay there again... It is
also close to all the great sites in Cambridge...
Very few negatives: the food in the restaurant was
somewhat expensive so I found other places to eat
in the neighborhood... the
only other negative is that, as of this writing (9/05), there
there is construction going on at a city site RIGHT BEHIND
the hotel; the noise started way too early, with a digging
machine that was excavating and banging away
at 8 a.m.... it was obnoxious... but of course this is
not the hotel's fault....hopefully, the construction will
be finished soon.. otherwise, a great hotel..
(sigh) Cambridge hotels just suckfrom Spacrawler
This visit (6 nights) was the same as others over the years. Expensive (almost $200 US a night), worn, rather unclean guest room, absolutely no ventilation in the guest rooms or the halls (there is now a letter from the manager by the thermostat explaining the room is "air-cooled" - hah!), and lousy sheets and sagging mattresses. There is only dim lighting in the room and bath. The TV sometimes turned on by itself in the middle of the night. And one of those damned auto-charge minibars where you get charged if anything is moved, making it impossible to use otherwise. There always seems to be a fire alarm or two in the middle of the night; this visit didn't disappoint (4:45 AM on a Sat. morning), but this time the gas was either shut off or damaged so there was no hot water in the hotel up until when I checked out. Housekeeping is very slow with the job; they were often still cleaning rooms at 5 pm.
I have no problem with the staff and the public areas are well-kept, and air-conditioned. I haven't eaten there in years but I remember it being overpriced.
I guess my main gripe is how the Crowne Plaza website brags about super duvets and linens, power showers, quiet floors, and overall upscale ambiance, and this property falls short in every regard. It's really misleading to have this brand name on the property.
I'd be happy with a clean airconditioned Motel 6 in this lovely but ancient town. I've tried the Garden Moat House (thumbs down) and the University Arms (ditto). Is there some place I am missing??
InnSufferablefrom MarshaCoupe
The three worse things about this hotel are (1) It has no air circulation, no air conditioning, and no ventilation whatsoever. It is unbelievably hot and stuffy --- even for cold-blooded travelers like my husband. Every person we met during our miserable 48-hour stay here complained bitterly about the lack of proper air circulation and breathability.
(2) There is a major construction project going in the neighboring lot (they're building a huge mall) It starts before 8:00 a.m. and continues all day long. This will be an ongoing feature at this hotel for the next several years.
(3) The rooms are shabby and terribly overpriced. Our bed cover had a hole in it and was obviously old and tattered. They replaced it with a slightly better one (it might go for 2-pounds at your local Sue Ryder) The feeling of the room is like a budget motel. We saw other rooms that were as bad or worse than ours.
We paid an outrageous 212-pounds a night. Parking was 10-pounds.
Cambridge is a tough place to find a good hotel. There does not seem to be any value here, though the city itself is quite lovely. If we had it to do again we'd probably stay at the Garden Moat Hotel. It gets equally bad reviews (like seemingly all Cambridge hotels we researched) but it is in a beautiful setting along the River Cam.
Survives only because of its locationfrom A TripAdvisor Member
Hot Hotel, Nice Stafffrom A TripAdvisor Member
No A/Cfrom triphappy
hot and skuzzyfrom traintravelLondon
The room I occupied (262) had a bathful of water (presumably left by the last occupant) and nasty ingrained marks on the carpet and the blanket. It looked as if someone had thrown up by the bed closest to the window. Although I'm sure the room had been cleaned, the dirt is just too ingrained.
The corridor carpets also need a good steam clean. I know it rains a lot in Cambridge in the winter, but time to clean up now.
Like many hotel bathroom shower curtains, there was a whiff of urine when the shower curtains were pulled. Hotels simply need to take down and launder shower curtains routinely after guests (especially, I imagine, male guests, though that might be sexism on my part).
The windows don't open (or mine didn't), and there is no effective air conditioning - just a portable fan, and a sort of air circulation machine, that sounds as if a lorry is driving through the room.
The cleaning and reception staff I met were helpful, but I think there may be a management problem. Worth asking for a really clean room before you book in. (And clean up 262 before your next guest Crowne Plaza - a message I also left with reception when I checked out).
A good base in the centre of Cambridgefrom A TripAdvisor Member
We were attending a show at the Corn Exchange which is a mere 3 min walk from the hotel, so ideally placed.
The room was spacious and very clean, something that is mostly rare in four star hotels! However, the room was incredibly hot and we turned on what we thought was air conditioning, but it was actually air cooling - which didn't really cool the air. The concierge quickly brought up a fan within 5mins of us complaining, which was really quite powerful.
Breakfast was a good selection of goodies, buffet style. This was included in the price of our room as we'd managed to get a good deal from the Crowne Plaza's own website.

Top Local Tips for Cambridge
Ariving and departing If you fly into Stansted the bus into Cambridge now drops off at Parkside and not Drummer Street
Black Cat Cafe & Trockel Ulmann und Freunde Black Cat Cafe: 2 The Boardwalk, Mill Road, Cambridge. 01224 248972.....Great cafe for lunch. Have a nice selction of good food and desert to choose from. Trockel Ulmann und Freunde: 13 Pembroke Street, Cambridge. 01223460923...........Again great for lunch. I enjoyed their daily soups.
Experience the history of the town We had a guided tour of the city on the Saturday afternoon and had a particularly good guide. What we learnt from him we would not have found out on our own. Also, you must have a punt on the river Camb (but to really enjoy it, hire a boat with a man to punt it for you). Had a great meal at the Loch Fynne Fish Restaurant and a great Japanese meal at the Teri-Aki restaurant.

Prostate Cancer Health Center
Stage IV Prostate Cancer Treatment
LH-RH agonists or antiandrogens
Approaches using LH-RH agonists or antiandrogens in patients with stage IV prostate cancer have produced response rates similar to other hormonal treatments.[4,27]
Evidence (LH-RH agonists or antiandrogens):
- In a randomized trial, the LH-RH analog leuprolide (1 mg subcutaneously every day) was found to be as effective as DES (3 mg orally every day) in any T, any N, M1 patients, but caused less gynecomastia, nausea and vomiting, and thromboembolisms.[5]
- In other randomized studies, the depot LH-RH analog goserelin was found to be as effective as orchiectomy [6,28,29] or DES at a dose of 3 mg per day.[27] A depot preparation of leuprolide, which is therapeutically equivalent to daily leuprolide, is available as a monthly or 3-monthly depot.
- Castration has been shown to be superior to monotherapy with bicalutamide.[30]
- A small, randomized study comparing 1 mg DES orally 3 times per day with 250 mg of flutamide 3 times per day in patients with metastatic prostate cancer showed similar response rates with both regimens but superior survival with DES. More cardiovascular and/or thromboembolic toxic effects of borderline statistical significance were associated with DES treatment.[31][Level of evidence: 1iA] A variety of combinations of hormonal therapy have been tested.
Maximal androgen blockade (MAB)
On the basis that the adrenal glands continue to produce androgens after surgical or medical castration, case series studies were performed in which antiandrogen therapy was added to castration. Promising results from the case series led to widespread use of the strategy, known as MAB or total androgen blockade. Subsequent randomized, controlled trials, however, cast doubt on the efficacy of adding an antiandrogen to castration.
Evidence (MAB):
- In a large, randomized, controlled trial comparing treatment with bilateral orchiectomy plus either the antiandrogen flutamide or placebo, no difference in OS was reported.[32][Level of evidence: 1iA]
- Although it has been suggested that MAB may improve the more subjective endpoint of response rate, prospectively assessed quality of life was worse in the flutamide arm than in the placebo arm primarily because of more diarrhea and worse emotional function in the flutamide-treated group.[33][Level of evidence: 1iC]
- A meta-analysis of 27 randomized trials of 8,275 patients comparing conventional surgical or medical castration with MAB—castration plus prolonged use of an antiandrogen such as flutamide, cyproterone acetate, or nilutamide—did not show a statistically significant improvement in survival associated with MAB.[9][Level of evidence: 1iA]
When trials of androgen suppression versus androgen suppression plus either nilutamide or flutamide were examined in a subset analysis, the absolute survival rate at 5 years was better for the combined-therapy group (2.9% better, 95% CI, 0.3–5.5); however, when trials of androgen suppression versus androgen suppression plus cyproterone acetate were examined, the absolute survival trend at 5 years was worse for the combined-therapy group (2.8% worse, 95% CI, -7.6 to +2.0).[9]
- The Agency for Health Care Policy and Research (AHCPR) (now AHRQ) has performed a systematic review of the available randomized, clinical trial evidence of single hormonal therapies and total androgen blockade performed by its Technology Evaluation Center, an evidence-based Practice Center of the Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association. A meta-analysis of randomized trials comparing various hormonal monotherapies in men with stage III or stage IV prostate cancer (predominantly stage IV) came to the following conclusions:[34][Level of evidence: 1iiA]
- OS at 2 years using any of the LH-RH agonists is similar to treatment with orchiectomy or 3 mg per day of DES (HR, 1.26; 95% CI, 0.92–1.39).
- Survival rates at 2 years are similar or worse with nonsteroidal antiandrogens compared with orchiectomy (HR, 1.22; 95% CI, 0.99–1.50).
- Treatment withdrawals, used as a surrogate for adverse effects, occurred less with LH-RH agonists (0%–4%) than with nonsteroidal antiandrogens (4%–10%).
Total androgen blockade was of no greater benefit than single hormonal therapy and with less patient tolerance. Also, the evidence was judged insufficient to determine whether men newly diagnosed with asymptomatic metastatic disease should have immediate androgen suppression therapy or should have therapy deferred until they have clinical signs or symptoms of progression.[35]

When you say the max instances, are you talking about the FCGI part in the vhosts files?
I'am talking about the mpm settings in the apache2.conf file.
But you can take a look in the vhost file as well, be default the values in the vhost file should be:
# IdleTimeout n (3600 seconds)
# An idle fastcgi application will be terminated after IdleTimeout seconds.
IdleTimeout 3600

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
The nature of things
Caroline Blais carves out a quiet place to reflect on stuff
The height of holiday pandemonium seems like an appropriate time to consider our relationships with things -- the possessions we accumulate or simply covet -- to step back and take stock of the stuff around us, how it defines us, and how it shapes our experience. Domestic Memorabilia, the installation at Video Pool Media Arts Centre by visiting Montreal artist Caroline Blais, provides a welcoming, reflective setting to do just that.
I like things, personally. I'm interested in how everyday objects take on new meanings and uses over time, how we attach memories to our possessions, how the things we accumulate give insight into our values and interests, how they bring people together and set them apart. I get the sense that Blais likes things too, for similar reasons.
Domestic Memorabilia is the capstone to a three-month residency in Winnipeg that, among other things, saw the artist assemble a "cabinet of curiosities" from photographs and actual objects collected in various secondhand stores around town. The surprisingly understated installation that resulted puts that material to use, guiding us to consider what these objects (and objects, generally) could mean to us and how they might come to do so.
Given its junk-store origins, the installation is remarkably uncluttered. The exhibition space is virtually empty, the walls lined with floor-to-ceiling black curtains. Apart from the table lamp lighting the entrance, the only object in sight is a smallish occasional table with turned wooden legs and a haphazardly hand-cut circular top. The only sound you hear is the hushed crackling of a record player, the music either recently ended or just about to start. A ceiling-mounted projector casts brightly coloured shapes across the table surface, and that's it.
At first, the projected image is a rotating circle, its wonky edges echoing those of the tabletop, that quickly reads as the spinning label of a vinyl record. This gives way to a cascade of things, and soon stylized cut-outs of socks, sweaters, books, postcards, coffeepots, mugs, mittens, and a somersaulting Slinky are jittering and shuffling across the upturned "screen." While their shapes stay constant, the objects buzz with flickering imagery lifted from Blais'S collected photographs, including textile patterns, swatches of knitting, and fragments of typewritten text.
A degree of nostalgia is central to the work (the objects skew "comforting," the patterns discernibly "vintage"), but its overall effect on opening night, with clusters of four and five gathered around the projection making small talk or watching together in silence, was markedly different the next morning, when I came back alone. In a group, the focus seemed to be on coming together, the shifting table-setting seeming like an apt visualization of shared experience. Alone, Domestic Memorabilia takes on a subtle sadness -- it seems to be more about absence. The various "objects" are just patches of light. You "observe" the work differently, like time-lapse footage of some unseen someone's kitchen table, the arrangements of cups and kettles marking out the passage of time, indifferent to your presence. Both experiences are gently challenging and, in their own way, comforting.
While "mindless consumerism" might not be the reason for the season, it's undeniably a feature of it. In that light, it feels like a real gift to have a quite space set aside to actually think about things.

A Moon for the Misbegotten
Eugene O'Neill's A Moon for the Misbegotten at New York City Center
Full Price
Our Price
The Pearl Theatre Company presents Eugene O'Neill's A Moon for the Misbegotten. This haunting drama was one of the last plays written by Nobel laureate O'Neill. Set on a tenant farm in 1920s Connecticut, the play tells the story of James Tyrone, first introduced in O'Neill's autobiographical play Long Day's Journey Into Night, and his brief and bittersweet encounter with passionate and lonely Irish immigrant Josie Hogan. A Moon for the Misbegotten was not a success upon its 1947 premiere, but since then, it's been recognized as one of O'Neill's best plays and one of the 2oth century's greatest stage romances.

This process can take a few minutes, please bear with us
Marian Keyes is one of the most successful Irish novelists of all time. Though she was brought up in a home where a lot of story-telling went on, it never occurred to her that she could write. Instead she studied law and accountancy and finally started writing short stories in 1993 "out of the blue." Though she had no intention of ever writing a novel ("It would take too long") she sent her short stories to a publisher with a letter saying she'd started work on a novel. The publishers replied, asking to see the novel and, once her panic had subsided, she began to write what subsequently became her first book, Watermelon.
It was published in Ireland in 1995, where it was an immediate runaway success. Its chatty conversational style and whimsical Irish humour appealed to all age groups, and this appeal spread to Britain when Watermelon was picked as a Fresh Talent book. She has gone on to write ten novels and two collections of journalism and short stories, all of which have been bestsellers. Marian is now published in thirty-three languages.
Marian's latest novel, The Woman Who Stole My Life, is published by Penguin (November 2014).
She was born in Limerick in 1963, and brought up in Cavan, Cork, Galway and Dublin; she spent her twenties in London, but is now living in Dún Laoghaire with her husband Tony. She includes among her hobbies, reading, movies, shoes, handbags and feminism.

Dragon on the Rogue
I used the Dragon 20 this weekend for a fastpack of the Rogue River Trail in Oregon (USA). I had not used a vest pack before and was impressed how secure and stable it was for running and fast hiking. It is tough, light, and has well thought out features. The 20 liter capacity was enough for me to easily carry 2 days worth of supplies. I would caution against the use of anything but ultralight gear as the minimal straps will dig into your arms if you carry too much weight. Also, be careful what you put in the front pocket as it sits close to your body and will get wet from sweat. This is a great pack!

I'm so glad we did this tour it was wonderful. We opted for the mini limo and it was great that they picked us up at our hotel in Beverly Hills. The driver was really nice and friendly, and a safe driver which is always a plus! Our helicopter tour was right on time which was great, it was supposed to be 35 mintutes flight but was probably about 28 minutes flying time. The Captin (I believe Mike??) was great, very informative. Saw alll of the wonderful LA sites and star homes. I definetely recommend this company and when I'm in LA again I would definetely do another tour with them!
Donna B
It was the most amazing experience. The pilot and entire staff made it special. The tour guide was very knowledageable on the entire L.A. area and celebrity homes. I would highly recommend this to anyone who is thinking of going to L.A. on holidays or for any reason.
The experience was great, but having to confirm in advance was difficult, especially because I had problems with my mobile.
After a very rocky start with the organisation and an airport change at the last minute making our final day of vacation somewhat stressful and a £50 phonebill to sort out the problem, the tour was shorter than expected but it was really good. Great photo opps! Best pic ever of the Hollywood sign!

Is it possible to get better just waiting for the time? How long? Or maybe won't get better, unless I take medication? What should I do?
Will Droopy Eye from Botox Correct Itself?
Doctor Answers (6)
It will get better
Eye ptosis, (droopy eyelid) is a rare but real complication of Botox. It is from diffusion into the levator muscle, or rarely, if you use your frontalis (the forehead muscle) to hold up droopy lids, it can be from diffusion into, or over treatment of, the frontalis. Be sure to let your Botox provider know to prevent this next time.
In any case, it will do away on its own. Iopidine drops by Rx may help, as would an eye drop OTC with neosynephrine. The pupil size may be temporarily affected, however.
Good luck and hang in there.
Web reference: http://www.drmarylupo.com
Thankfully BOTOX is temporary
In your situation, thankfully BOTOX is temporary. While eyelid ptosis (droopy eyelid) can occur to anyone, it's not common.
Fortunately, it will gradually resolve with time in the next few months. Medications can help restore some of the height to your upper lid until that happens.
So while a lot of people wish BOTOX were permanent, in your case it's good that it is not.
Droopy eye from Botox should resolve on its own
If your eye was not droopy before the Botox, it should return to normal. Time is your best friend here. This typically takes about 3-5 months. By 6 months it should be completely back to your baseline. Medication can provide temporary relief.
You might also like...
Ptosis from BOTOX will go away.
I see the problem, and it occurs in around 1-2% of injections with BOTOX Cosmetic. And you'll likely have complete resolution in the next 4 weeks.
In the meantime, the best source of help is a board certified ophthalmologist. You can get prescription eye drops to minimize the effect. Or try over-the-counter Visine drops with phenylepherine to minimize the effect.
Your droopy eyelid will return to normal very soon in any event.
Best regards.
Droopy eye from Botox
I agree with all the other previous responses to your question - that your problem will spontaneously resolve with time, but Lopidine eye drops may help, depending on the affected muscles. Please notify your current and future Botox injector, to avoid (hopefully) this complication in the future.
Good luck.
Apraclonidine drops may help your eyelid position
Dear Ferreira
The drooping of the upper eyelid that you have is due to BOTOX drifting into the levator palpebrae superioris muscle, the muscle that opens the upper eyelid. This complicaiton is associated with treating with BOTOX too low and too deep along the eyebrow.
Over treatment of the frontalis muscle is associated with a fall in the eyebrow but is not associated with actual weakness in the muscle that opens the eyelid. The complication is of course self limited but it can take any where from a few weeks to many months to resolve.
The medication Iopodine (Aproclonidine) can help to open the eye. These are eye drops that are so-called alpha adrenergics that stimulate the Mueller's muscle in the eyelid. This can raise the eyelid a few millimeters which can be enough to make a subjective difference.
However, for the drops to work there needs to be enough activity in the eyelid muscles, so if the eyelid is sufficiently paralyzed the drops will be insufficient to make a difference. The response to the drops can actually be used to predict how long the ptosis will last.
If you respond to the drops, then it is likely that the ptosis will last 4 to 6 weeks. On the other hand, if there is no initial response to the Iopodine, then it is likely that the ptosis will last 4 to 6 months and possible longer.

Stripe's web security CTF's Level 1 and level 2 of the Stripe CTF had issues with missing input validation solutions described below.
$filename = 'secret-combination.txt';
if (isset($attempt)) {
$combination = trim(file_get_contents($filename));
if ($attempt === $combination) {
The issue here is the usage of the extract php method which extracts name value pairs from the map input parameter and creates corresponding local variables. However this code uses $_GET which contains a map of name value pairs passed in the query of the URI. The expected behavior is to get an attempt variable out, but since no input validation is done I can provide a filename variable and overwrite the value of $filename. Providing an empty string gives an empty string $combination which I can match with an empty string $attempt. So without knowing the combination I can get past the combination check.
Code review red flag in this case was the direct use of $_GET with no validation. Instead of using extract the developer could try to extract specifically the attempt variable manually without using extract.
$dest_dir = "uploads/";
$dest = $dest_dir . basename($_FILES["dispic"]["name"]);

chmod($dest, 0644);
echo "

This code accepts POST uploads of images but with no validation to ensure it is not an arbitrary file. And even though it uses chmod to ensure the file is not executable, things like PHP don't require a file to be executable in order to run them. Accordingly, one can upload a PHP script, then navigate to that script to run it. My PHP script dumped out the contents of the file we're interested in for this level:
Code review red flags include manual file management, chmod, and use of file and filename inputs without any kind of validation. If this code controlled the filename and ensured that the extension was one of a set of image extensions, this would solve this issue. Due to browser mime sniffing its additionally a good idea to serve a content-type that starts with "image/" for these uploads to ensure browsers treat these as images and not sniff for script or HTML.
I was the 546th person to complete Stripe's web security CTF and again had a ton of fun applying my theoretical knowledge of web security issues to the (semi-)real world. As I went through the levels I thought about what red flags jumped out at me (or should have) that I could apply to future code reviews:
|Code Review Red Flags
|Simple SQL injection
|No encoding when constructing SQL command strings. Constructing SQL command strings instead of SQL API
|No input validation.
|Arbitrary PHP execution
|No input validation. Allow file uploads. File permissions modification.
|Advanced SQL injection
|Constructing SQL command strings instead of SQL API.
|HTML injection, XSS and CSRF
|No encoding when constructing HTML. No CSRF counter measures. Passwords stored in plain text. Password displayed on site.
|Pingback server doesn't need to opt-in
|n/a - By design protocol issue.
|Script injection and XSS
|No encoding while constructing script. Deny list (of dangerous characters). Passwords stored in plain text. Password displayed on site.
|Length extension attack
|Custom crypto code. Constructing SQL command string instead of SQL API.
|Side channel attack
|Password handling code. Timing attack mitigation too clever.
More about each level in the future.

Bone conduction audio, retainers, and shiny hip-hop teeth grills aren't new inventions, but tech hacker Aisen Caro Chacin had the clever idea to put them all together.
The Play-A-Grill MP3 player prototype fits in your mouth like a retainer, shines on the outside like a precious metal rap grill, and plays music through bone conduction through your teeth.

As long as the OEMs heed the warning and raise their game, so that Redmond can be assured that bad hardware won't jeopardized Windows 8's success, Microsoft could safely keep Surface operating as a small-scale operation, playing the Nexus role without upsetting the PC market.

I'm done playing Fez. The style is atmospheric retro nastalgia and on the surface the gameplay is standard 2D platformer with one interesting Flatland style game mechanic but dig deeper to find Myst style puzzles. Despite the following I thoroughly enjoyed the game and would recommend it to anyone intrigued by the previous. Five eighths through the game I ran into one of the game's infamous Fez save game breaking issues, but I enjoyed the game enough that I started over before any patches were released and had no further issues.
While playing the game I created some tools to help keep track of my Fez notes (spoilers) including a Pixelated Image Creator that makes it easy to generate data URIs for large, black and white pixelated images, and (spoilers) a Fez Transliteration Tool to help me translate the in-game writing system.

Swine calls 'overwhelm' GPs
GP clinics in Devon have said they are struggling with a flood of calls from patients about swine flu vaccinations.Some surgeries have been receiving thousands of calls, said the Devon Local Medical Committee, which urged patients to wait their turn. GPs will first vaccinate about 200,000 priority cases, such as frontline healthcare workers and at-risk patients. But it could eventually be rolled out to the whole population.

Forget drones, this restaurant delivers your food by parachute
We've all heard of restaurants that deliver sushi or burritos using drones, but what's the most efficient way to get your customers their food when they are seven stories straight down? A pop-up restaurant in Melbourne, Australia thinks it has the answer, and has started to deliver sandwiches using mini parachutes.
The name Jafflechutes comes from the name "jaffie", Australian slang for a toasted sandwich, and of course the 'chutes used to deliver them. To take part in the fun you first go to the Jafflechutes Facebook page to see where they're going to be setting up. Then you order online, and pay for your food using PayPal. When your sandwich is ready, you simply stand on a chalk "X" on the sidewalk, and wait for your food to come down. Hopefully, it won't get caught on a windowsill or awnings on the way down, and just in case it does drift off course, they do print your name on the wrapper. Think of it as being kind of like a lighthearted first-world version of those food drops that relief agencies make over war-ravaged countries.
While this might seem like little more than an artsy joke for the hipster crowd, there is some method to the madness. In most major cities, renting street level restaurant space is prohibitively expensive, so a lot of young and dynamic cooks move their operation onto food trucks to save money. The parachute delivery system offers an interesting alternative to that approach, allowing a cook to rent cheaper upper floor space, while still allowing them to get their creations to hungry diners without delay.
Jafflechutes is based in Australia, but their Facebook page says that they're going to be taking their operation on the road to New York City in May and June. Hopefully I'll get a chance to check them out while they're here, and can see how they deal with us fussy New Yorkers. In the meantime, check out the video below to see how they do it in Melbourne.

One of BusinessWeek's Top 10 Business Books of 2005
In The Big Picture, acclaimed writer Edward Jay Epstein gives an unprecedented, sweeping, and thoroughly entertaining account of the real magic behind moviemaking: how the studios make their money. Epstein shows how, in Hollywood, the only art that matters is the art of the deal: major films turn huge profits, not from the movies themselves but through myriad other enterprises, such as video-game spin-offs, fast-food tie-ins, soundtracks, and even theme-park rides.
The studios may compete with one another for stars, publicity, box-office receipts, and Oscars; their corporate parents, however, make fortunes from cooperation (and collusion) with one another in less glamorous markets, such as cable, home video, and pay-TV.
But money is only part of the Hollywood story; the social and political milieus–power, prestige, and status–tell the rest. Alongside remarkable financial revelations, The Big Picture is filled with eye-opening true Hollywood insider stories. We learn how the promise of free cowboy boots for a producer delayed a major movie's shooting schedule; why stars never perform their own stunts, despite what the supermarket tabloids claim; how movies intentionally shape political sensibilities, both in America and abroad; and why fifteen-year-olds dictate the kind of low-grade fare that has flooded screens across the country.
Epstein also offers incisive profiles of the pioneers, including Louis B. Mayer, who helped build Hollywood, and introduces us to the visionaries–Walt Disney, Akio Morita, Rupert Murdoch, Steve Ross, Sumner Redstone, David Sarnoff–power brokers who, by dint of innovation and deception, created and control the media that mold our lives. If you are interested in Hollywood today and the complex and fascinating way it has evolved in order to survive, you haven't seen the big picture until you've read The Big Picture.
Praise for The Big Picture:
"This is the new indispensable text for anyone interested in how Hollywood works." —Publisher's Weekly
"Though Epstein essentially synthesizes scores of published essays and interviews, this will be the go-to book for those interested in the anatomy of the Hollywood movie business. The book profits from its edgy, punchy style. Both an analysis and a narrative of the classic Hollywood oligarchy and its decline and replacement by vast international conglomerates of every aspect of electric communication--movies, DVDs, even the decals on kids' lunchboxes--the book provides a richly detailed picture of the inner workings of this worldwide institution. Highly recommended."
— Choice Magazine

My service is always cutting in and out, and even when I have good service sometimes I just don't get text messages for about a half hour or so while walking around the city. If somebody texts me when I have bad service I won't get the text for several hoursWas this review helpful to you?
Had ATT forever (like, since it was CellOne Boston, then Cingular, etc.). Never had a problem. Got lured to T-Mobile - horrible coverage all around Boston. Dropped calls, static, SLOW data, etc. Tried Sprint. Same thing, except I now couldn't get calls even in my home. Back to ATT about 5 years ago. Even from the edge of the Grand Canyon, I get a good signal and data (albeit slow data on the canyon's edge). I know it costs more, but ATT's network is smooth and solid. So, unless the others step up, ATT it will be.Was this review helpful to you?
Calls dropped most of time. Sometimes no signal on the bar, or maybe one bar. Could not wait for contract to end.Was this review helpful to you?
I cannot receive calls most of the time. Odd noises but no ringing to my apartment. My best clue is if the call goes to voicemail. Then when I check voicemail and if a message has been left I can call the parties back. Also, calls drop multiple times even when on the line with a Verizon technician in a call I initiate from home. Verizon says it is because my building is old, made of brick and or concrete. Verizon representative promised me that with a new phone and another 2 year contract nothing will improve in terms of my ability to get and hold calls while at home.Was this review helpful to you?
I have bars and I have 3G showing and yet my apps fail, my internet sits and spins, and calls are fuzzy or drop every 20-30 seconds. I have horrible reception here in South Boston but also on the commuter train, in Back Bay and in the Financial District. I actually passed my destination because my phone's GPS said I was still 4 blocks away and it even had me indicated 3 streets over from where I was. The cell service in this city is horrific let alone trying to use data. It just plain doesn't work.Was this review helpful to you?
No service at all whatsoever if you are going in the basement or Lower Level floors in any of the hospitals. It is the worst! Even in higher level floors, service is very crappy. And the only reason I switched is because someone was paying my phone bill! I am so disappointed with T-Mobile!Was this review helpful to you?
Data is slow to load however I never have any dropped calls.Was this review helpful to you?
Very poor reception. I'm thinking of leaving ATT for Straight Talk Wireless. Don't know if signals will be any better with ST and new phone, but couldn't possibly be any worse. AT&T definitely not worth their data / rate charge for this service.Was this review helpful to you?

How do I say this plainly, HORRIFIC. If I can see the Prudential Tower from my window, I should not have an issue getting a signal. Dropped calls, missed voicemails and messages (IMPORTANT), I cannot wait to dump this carrier as fast as I can. I live in the South End, if I'm living next to 750,000 dollar homes and can walk to Newbury St. and live on 3rd floor, I should not PAY to have NO signal. as useful as a dixie cup with strings, only your hopeful your call gets throuh...Was this review helpful to you?
I switched from T-Mobile to AT&T in Nov. 2010 to get the iPhone 4. Calls were ok, not much better than T-mobile. Data was not very consistant. However I have noticed that for the past 6 months or so (1H of 2012) the data availability is terrible. The number of bars mean nothing! 4-5 bars means MAYBE you'll have data. Many times it just hangs, not downloading any pages despite '3G' and 4-5 bars showing up. On 1-2 bars forget it. It gets worse at rush hour. Try using the data at 5-6pm. You get 7-10 mins max then cuts you off. Listening to streaming music or web surfing just stops even when you close and open back up. Frustrating! I think iPhone 5 will be with Verizon.Was this review helpful to you?
I live here. When my cell phone rings, I answer with "Hi, I'll call you back." Then I hang up and call on a land line. There is no point in using my ATT / iPhone in this neighborhood. I changed to ATT to get an iPhone. This was a mistake - big time. Is it the phone or the carrier? Probably both. I locked myself into a cell phone contract, but I still need a mobile phone! Now I'm trying to convince my neighbors to help buy a repeater to boost reception... really? We need to spend $300 to get a decent signal? Shame on ATT for taking our money without providing decent service to the middle of Boston.Was this review helpful to you?
I've noticed a steady decline of my coverage for some time now from my home in the South End and also in the South Shore area down to Kingston and Plymouth. My old Chocolate phone and iPhone 3G got decent reception in my home. Even my iPhone4 got reception when I first used it. I could opt to get a MicroCell from AT&T, but that's just a band-aid fix and AT&T will then be piggybacking off my Internet bandwidth... Just fix the problems in the Boston area. It's simple... Or it should be with all the account fees they collect every month.Was this review helpful to you?
I am on the Top Floor overlooking the Charles River with clear line of site to Cambridge and have had poor to no service for years with Tmobile. They always claim the next tower, 3g or 4g will fix the problem but I have finally given up and will switch from T-Mobile after 10+ years next month. The reps have given many explinations but the one I have heard multiple times that I believe is: Beacon Hill and the area between Chestnut, and Cambridge streets and Charles joy streets are near the edge of 2 towers and your phone is constantly switching back and forth and dropping calls and switching from edge-3G-4G causing data issues. Who knows... .Was this review helpful to you?
Emergency service only on the street and in my apartment. What a joke - checking the AT&T map it should be the 'best'. I'm going to have to install a land line for all the calls all I can't make. Going to cancel the service this week. ANy suggestions for Southie?Was this review helpful to you?
I have been with AT&T for the past 4.5 years (since 2008)and at first I had regular reception and only at times in certain locations would I have dropped calls. Soon after and more specially now, I can't use my phone anywhere! I do have some bars, but I get dropped calls constantly. Usually every call I make is dropped at least once. If and when I am able to make the call, quite frequently (about 70% of the time) the other person is not able to understand anything I say. This even happens when I call AT&T customer service to report the issue, oh and customer service is not 24 hours, if the network is bad, you just have to live with it. I would never recommend AT&T to anyone in New England, more specifically Boston -because I dont go out of Boston that often-. I think as soon as I hear the new Iphone is coming out, I will terminate my contract and purchase it in any other carrier. Anything is better than AT&T ANYTHING, unless you dont want to be able to use your phone but still pay for it.Was this review helpful to you?
I am not able to use my phone at all in my office... There is usually 2 or 3 bars but no service. Then it will start to look for a signal. I actually get excited when I see the "E" network bc then I can use it. Why hasnt the FCC come down harder on these companys with all the hard push they give with great service when in fact they are horrible and unreliable...Was this review helpful to you?

Home prices nationwide, including distressed sales, increased 11.9 percent on a year-over-year basis in June 2013 compared to June 2012. This change represents the 16 th consecutive monthly increase in home prices nationally. On a month-over-month basis, including distressed sales, home prices increased by 1.9 percent in June 2013 compared to May 2013*.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130806/MM58201LOGO )
Excluding distressed sales, home prices increased on a year-over-year basis by 11 percent in June 2013 compared to June 2012. On a month-over-month basis, excluding distressed sales, home prices increased 1.8 percent in June 2013 compared to May 2013. Distressed sales include short sales and real estate owned (REO) transactions.The CoreLogic Pending HPI indicates that July 2013 home prices, including distressed sales, are expected to rise by 12.5 percent on a year-over-year basis from July 2012 and rise by 1.8 percent on a month-over-month basis from June 2013. Excluding distressed sales, July 2013 home prices are poised to rise 11.4 percent year over year from July 2012 and by 1.3 percent month over month from June 2013. The CoreLogic Pending HPI is a proprietary and exclusive metric that provides the most current indication of trends in home prices. It is based on Multiple Listing Service (MLS) data that measure price changes for the most recent month. "In the first six months of 2013, the U.S. housing market appreciated a remarkable 10 percent," said Dr. Mark Fleming, chief economist for CoreLogic. "This trend in home price gains is moving at the fastest pace since 1977." "The U.S. housing market experienced robust price appreciation during the first half of 2013 and our forecast calls for double-digit growth through July," said Anand Nallathambi, president and CEO of CoreLogic. "Despite their rebound of late, home prices remain reasonable in a historical context, with most states near peak affordability levels." Highlights as of June 2013:
- Including distressed sales, the five states with the highest home price appreciation were: Nevada (+26.5 percent), California (+21.4 percent), Wyoming (+16.7 percent), Arizona (+16.2 percent) and Georgia (+14.3 percent).
- Including distressed sales, this month only two states posted home price depreciation: Mississippi (-2.1 percent) and Delaware (-1.1 percent).
- Excluding distressed sales, the five states with the highest home price appreciation were: Nevada (+23.6 percent), California (+18.7 percent), Arizona (+14.1 percent), Utah (+13.8 percent) and Florida (+12.7 percent).
- Excluding distressed sales, no states posted home price depreciation in June.
- Including distressed transactions, the peak-to-current change in the national HPI (from April 2006 to June 2013) was -19 percent. Excluding distressed transactions, the peak-to-current change in the HPI for the same period was -14 percent.
- The five states with the largest peak-to-current declines, including distressed transactions, were Nevada (-44.3 percent), Florida (-38.6 percent), Arizona (-33.9 percent), Rhode Island (-31.7 percent), and Michigan (-31.1 percent).
- Of the top 100 Core Based Statistical Areas (CBSAs) measured by population, 99 were showing year-over-year increases in June, up from 98 in May 2013.

City Hall East, an Atlanta landmark and the largest brick building in the Southeast, will be transformed into an upscale mixed-use facility. The facility, now called Ponce City Market, will get a $180 million rehab to create 1 million sf of retail, office, and residential components, plus parking and green spaces. It has been called the most comprehensive adaptive reuse project in Atlanta's history.
(http://patch.com/georgia/eastatlanta/old-fourth-wards-city-hall-east-slated-for-180-million-facelift [2])
Constructed in 1926 as a Sears Roebuck & Co. store and distribution center for the entire Southeast, it was bought by the city in 1991. Only a small percentage of the space was utilized for city offices.
Planners say Ponce City Market will be modeled on Pike Place Market in Seattle, Chelsea Market in New York, and Warehouse Row in Chattanooga.

We love hearing from all of our workshop gals! Thanks, Janet, for sending a little update on how things are going for you. We're so glad that you're loving your boudoir shoots! :) Check outJanet's site!!
Narrowing down your images quickly is something that will come with time. Your time is so valuable, you don't want to waste any unneeded time in front of your computer screen. We limit our images down quite a bit, and we do it VERY quickly! Our best advice: go with your instinct and only KEEP the best images. Label those ones… get rid of the rest.
Sometimes things don't go exactly as planned. For the past two weeks we've been planning a SUPERfun photo shoot with models and crazy styling. We were planning on going to some unique outdoor locations, but when we woke up this morning we were more than just a little bit disappointed to find rain pouring outside! So we moved on to Plan B – which consisted of one hour running around, throwing together brand new outfits and working in the studio instead of on-location. It was still a rockin' shoot, though, and we even got to spend the last 20 minutes outside when the rain cleared for a moment. We can't wait to share some of the shots! Marissa and I just love our model shoots. It gives us a chance to play around with new lighting set-ups, and to just try out all kinds of different styling and posing. (We try and do one of these shoots every couple of months). Here's what the lobby looked like when we brought in all of our different outfit ideas and accessories:
We also decided to take advantage of our 'fun photo day' by having Weston do a photo shoot for the two of us. SO much fun. Seriously, for two gals who usually hate being in front of the camera… we really had a good time. Thanks, Weston! And we also have to say a huge thank you to our fabulous makeup artist. Catherine is absolutely amazing. She did makeup for myself, Marissa, and both of our models. We couldn't have been happier with the way it all turned out. :) Check out her site! [Makeup by Catherine]. Here she is working on Marissa:
Photos from both shoots – coming soon! :)
*Edit to add: If you wanna see a preview shot of our "diva" photo shoot – go check out our Twitter page!
Deena is a fantabulous photographer for Woman Captured by Bouchér. She has been shooting with us for quite a while and she and Crystal, our other photographer and studio manager here, always manage to knock our socks off with the cute stuff that they come up with. She took the shots above and we have coined them as the "Deena" shot as it is always at the top of the request list from our clients!
When Marissa woke up this morning, she had no idea what the day would hold. Thankfully she's a very good sport, and so she agreed whole-heartedly to my scheme when I told her about it. So here it is. The premier of Episode #1 of "Marissa Explains It All." Leave your questions in the comment box and we'll try to get to as many questions as possible in the next few months!

So after the KISSmas party on Friday night, Westissa & I were driving back to San Diego (we got home at about 4am, after a stop at Denny's & getting lost – ahem – I mean, taking a little 'detour' on the 91/605/405 freeways through LA). Anyway, on our drive home, in order to stay awake, we were playing those silly roadtrip games. My game invention was undoubtedly the nerdiest game ever invented. It was a version of the abc game – you know the one where you name something starting with each letter of the alphabet – only for this version you had to name fonts. Yes, fonts. (ie, Weston starts with a: 'arial' – Marissa, b: 'bickham script' – Me, c: 'century gothic') That only lasted a few rounds, until we laughed at the hilarity (aka supreme photog dorkiness) of what we were actually doing. On to the next game: seeing how well we know each other by trying to guess our favorites. My favorite food. Weston's favorite guitar. Marissa's favorite TV show while growing up. All I can say is… you certainly do learn a lot about each other while on roadtrips, even short 3-hour trips. I learned something new! Marissa's fave TV show? Clarissa Explains it all. This is one thing we don't have in common, as I never watched this show (I was a hard-core Punky fan). But this insight into Marissa gave me a fun little idea. What if we do a series called "Marissa Explains it All"?! I haven't told her about this, so I guess I still need approval – but what do you think? We'll ask her questions about anything and everything (boudoir-related or not). I think my first question for her will be about her favorite places to shop for all her cute clothes.
So, if you have a question for Marissa (about anything at all), leave it here in the comment section! :) On another note – coming this week: a new boudoir tip, photos from the KISSmas party, and our December newsletter (coming tomorrow!)
Hi everyone! Sorry for the lack of blogging this week. Kimberlee and I are a bit all over the place wrapping up with Christmas shoots. There are going to be a lot of happy hubbies this year when they unwrap their sexy boudoir gifts :) We are also prepping for a big shoot on Friday, which I promise we will blog right away. Also looking forward to the KISSmas party on Friday as well. Fun stuff…. crazy, but fun! We will post soon. Promise.
As we have mentioned a million times because we are so excited about it, Woman Captured moved into a giant studio in May and we finally had decor and the "look" finalized in November. So we thought it was time to celebrate. More than 150+ attended and we are so grateful to all of you who took the time to come. Here are a few photos from the night but if you would like to see more you can visit the BOUCHER Blog or our Woman Captured Blog.
