Implants may need to be replaced for other reasons too, such as capsular contracture. The general consensus is that breast implants will last from 10 to 25 years.
A Answers (3)
Tara Whitworth, MSN, Nursing, answeredBreast implants do not last forever and will most likely need to be replaced at some point in a woman's life. Over time, the normal wear and tear may cause the implant to leak or rupture. With saline implants, the rupture will be obvious as the implant will deflate. The saline from the implant is harmless and will be absorbed by the body. It's much more difficult to tell if a silicon implant has ruptured. For this reason, it is recommended that women with silicone implants have an MRI every 2 years to check for leaks.
Implants may need to be replaced for other reasons too, such as capsular contracture. The general consensus is that breast implants will last from 10 to 25 years. -
Erik Hoy, MD, Plastic/reconstructive Surgery, answeredThe implants themselves will last forever. They are not biodegradable.However, the question is better posed as, "How long can the structural integrity of breast implants be trusted?" Here, the type of implant comes into play, as does the volume of fill within it.
All silicone containing implants are filled to their manufacturer recommended volume (since they are filled by the manufacturer). While a silicone breast implant rupture has more implications than does a saline-filled implant, there are more variables with the act of saline filling of the implant.
"Saline-filled" implants is often a misnomer.Since the surgeon fills the saline implant during the operation, he or she determines how much volume to add. They may decide to under- or over-fill the implant for reasons related to final size of the augmented breast, desired texture of the breast, and the avoidance of rippling or creasing of the implant.
This last feature is most important, since an underfilled implant is more prone to wrinkle, fold and eventually fail due to mechanical stresses called "fold-flaws". Manufacturers do not recommend underfilling of the implants for this reason. While the exact timing of breast implant replacement is controversial, most would probably agree that they should be replaced every 10 years or so. -
Stuart Linder, MD, Plastic/reconstructive Surgery, answered
In general, saline and silicone implants are not lifetime devices. According to the two FDA approved manufacturers in the United States of America, Mentor Corporation (Johnson and Johnson) and Natrelle implants (Allergan Pharmaceuticals) breasts implants themselves are not lifetime devices. In general, it is thought that implants last approximately 10 years or should be replaced every eight to 10 years. A ruptured saline implant is clinically obvious as the breast will deflate and there will be great asymmetry. A ruptured silicone implant is more difficult to determine and is referred as a silent rupture. MRIs should be performed every three years with silicone implants to determine the integrity of the shell of the silicone implant. Saline implants should be filled at least to their minimal fill volume or better yet towards the upper range of their fill volume to reduce visibility, rippling and increased risk of rupture. In general, saline and silicone implants should be replaced at least every 10 to 15 years depending upon rupture, scar tissue contracture or volume changes over time.

I'm learning!! Over the last month or so, a frequent passenger in my car has been feeling ill, falling asleep and more and I was particularly disturbed, as the alternative to it being the cars fault, was that it was me! That would be pretty crap. So, in the quest for knowledge i dug into our knowledge bank here and researched some videos of potential problems and had a Eureka moment - could it be an allergy?
A man on a mission, i ordered new filters, both air and pollen (first i knew of them) and decided this was it. I've spoken about our version of Cliff Richard (Rob)'s videos before and he now has me believing i could service my own car at this stage, but i was hell bent on changing the filters. Reality check - its not easy for someone without the tools or the knowledge. To rectify this, i will be buying said tools over the course of the year and will commit to videoing myself attempting this feat in 12 months - mark the date.
During the fitting process, it became clear there was no pollen filter in the car at all. So there is problem 1, and the air filter was in tatters. I went with the cheapest air filter and i don't think i will again, looking at the quality of the incumbent, it was superior with more layers, so it's worth noting that the cheapest ain't always the best and cos' we are talking filters, they are not that expensive at all.
So did it work, a resounding YES !! Completely different experience on the next drive ! I am a genius, this means i could probably start looking at studying medicine as an allergist, or maybe I am understanding this whole car business more than i thought. Either way, it did get my head around the fact, that to get more out of your car in the long term, you have to maintain it. It's a passing interest and nothing more but simple dividends could save money in the long run and unnecessary trips to the doctors.
Not convinced? Check out these videos and get to spring cleaning your car.
Before your Summer Holiday Car clean-up, Check out our resident Sir Cliff and decide, could YOU service a car.
So i'll sign off for this week, but asked my Facebook friends last week what i should blog about and i got some interesting replies. Can you help me pick the next one under the following topics?
Do go faster stripes, actually make you go faster?
What does your car say about your style?
Funniest thing found in the back seat of a car?
How to turn a car from a banger to a classic (video blog ?)
Let us know via replies of on Facebook and i'll get cracking !
PS With the operation no phone or car use tonight, be sure to listen for the midnight screams of cars doing donuts, an increase in the amount of underage driving around rural areas and no doubt a few lock ins will ensue, i know which of the 3 i'll be involved in.


text: In my experience coughing too hard and too long during a cold or flu can cause intercostal muscle pain. It just feels very sore and can be mistaken for a fractured rib. The only thing prescribed was pain meds and rest. You don't notice these muscles even exist until they start hurting.

Seed Storage Do's and Don'ts
A common question we often get is, "Can I store excess seed for next season's use and if so, how?" Seed storage is not only a great way to save money (it's cheaper to buy in bulk), but is extremely easy to do!

Why wasn't analysis story labeled a such?
Question: On Jan. 21, an article was printed on page A6. The headline was, "Bush cautious, but some claims miss mark." Outside of the content of the headline and article, there was no label or other indication from the editors that they represented someone's opinion or "analysis."
Nevertheless, the headline clearly was one person's opinion, and the article was filled with opinionated statements. Bearing in mind that traditional journalism ethics place such headlines and articles on the opinion page of a newspaper, why were these placed on page A6? -- Laurie Rogers, Spokane
Answer: The story in question was a news analysis written by a reporter for the Associated Press. It should have been labeled analysis. Here is what deputy news editor Tad Brooks, who supervises our wire service report, says about the article: "The story compares and contrasts statements President Bush made in his State of the Union address with facts on the ground and asserts some of the president's claims were either not quite true or were misleading because they were made out of context. The hook of the story was that the president was burned in his prior State of the Union speech by falsely claiming Iraq tried to obtain materials for its alleged nuclear weapons program from Africa."
As a news analysis, it was appropriate the run the story in the news columns. But editors agree it should have been properly labeled. -- Steve Smith, editor

Grand Mosques and Islamic Cairo, Cairo
Concierge.com's insider take:
Following the invasion of the first Arab army in 641 and the relocation of the capital from the Greco-Roman port of Alexandria to the site of present-day Cairo, Egypt was ruled by successive Islamic dynasties, each leaving an architectural legacy. Cairo has more than 600 registered Islamic monuments covering 14 centuries of history. In various states of repair, they are nonetheless an art lover's dream. You can visit the cenotaphs of such diverse figures as the charismatic 19th-century ruler Mohammed Ali, King Farouk, and a ninth-century boy sultan assassinated by his brother. There are also various architectural forms of charity, donated by the sultans, such as student hostels, caravanserai, and sabil kuttab (combined public fountains and Koranic schools). Egypt's mosques generally welcome non-Muslim visitors. Monuments with guardians are open 8 am to 5 pm; many do not require a ticket.

I suggested something similar to this before, but a BYOND mobile website. Just for reading blogs, forum posts, an more. I thought it would be useful since about 90% of U.S. Kids use a mobile device. It would be nice to just type "m.byond.com" then go straight to checking your stuff and reading posts and such. Wouldn't you agree?
I made a website that allowed you to compile code you input, but nobody used it so I removed it. If the project got a bit of support I could turn it into an entire web-based Dream Maker, minus the map editor (icon editor would be simple) Any phone with a browser could use it, even WAP browsers. If I were to expand it into an actual web client it would probably only work on full HTML browsers.
I'd Support it.


text: Sex Immaculate Conception Female Komodo Dragons don't need males to make babies. Some females give birth as virgins. It's a huge advantage for a reptile that lives on the islands of Indonesia. If a female finds herself without a male – her half-set of chromosomes doubles up. She lays fertile eggs. The genetics of the giant lizard's self-fertilization mean her babies are always male. Dangerous Lover A male praying mantis is prepared to make the ultimate sacrifice for his genetic future. Compared to a male praying mantis, females are: bigger, stronger and fiercer. The female bites the head off of the male but copulation continues - thanks to a mini-brain in his butt. Amazingly, decapitation increases both mating duration and the chance of fertilization. A Rowdy Relationship In the forests of Tasmania, a wombat is in for a nasty surprise. As he heads off for a couple of days grazing, he leaves behind a burrow. Soon to become a love nest for the Tasmanian Devil. A male devil picks up on the female's scent and soon the mating begins. Mating continues for several hours, then they rest. The male then guards the entrance and keeps the female prisoner. The male mates continuously for up to 5 days. Looking For Love This red sided garter snake has spent eight months in hibernation, deep underground. With the arrival of spring, temperatures rise, and so do the males. All 50,000 of them. It's the largest concentration of snakes in the world. The males have lost a third of their body weight over winter, but before feeding, they must mate. When a female – three times larger than the males - emerges from hibernation – she's outnumbered 500 to one. Attracted by the female's strong scent – males enter a sexual frenzy. Up to a 100 males try to mate with a single female. Going Out With a Bang Fueled by a flood of natural steroids in his bloodstream, the marsupial mouse is so busy making babies, he doesn't eat. All females come into season at once. There's no time for romance. He'll mate with every female in the district, or die trying. Each mating takes about 12 hours without a break - unless he's interrupted by an equally desperate rival. Two weeks of sex and violence is taking its toll. His immune system is collapsing. Finally the female abandons him, burned out; racked by seizures; poisoned by steroids in his blood. Mate in Disguise It's easy to change your appearance when you have up to 20 million pigment cells in your skin. For most of its the cuttlefish uses its psychedelic wardrobe for hunting. But it can also mesmerize a mate. Giant cuttlefish live just two short years. Before they die, thousands come together for a final fling. Males can outnumber females - ten to one. Big males are bullies. Small males that are not big enough to fight dresses it colors like a female. The little she-male's no threat to the big boys. Mating Maniacs A flash of red from the fire bellied toad warns predators of potent poisons. During the day, males feast. They need all the energy they can get, because at night, they go looking for love in all the wrong places. The horny toads will hump anything: floating twigs; fish; even human fingers. Competition is stiff. Males out number females 15 to one. Big Cat Canoodling The lion is a ferocious predator, devoted father and sexual athlete. For every cub raised, he's had about 3,000 sexual encounters. That's because females use sex to coerce the king of the jungle. A female in heat demands to be mated every 25 minutes. When one male's had enough - she moves onto the other. In just three days, a female copulates nearly 200 times. Three months later: the new cubs arrive. An Amorous Animal The bonobos social life is based on sex – not violence. Everyone does it. Males with males. Females with females. Old with young. They use sex as a greeting. To appease. To reassure. For the world's most erotic apes, sex is the binding force that creates a satisfied, contented, peaceful society.

Casas Patronales Carmenere
In the Maule Valley, terroirs with a high percentage of clay determine the mineral character of this wine. The cold evening breezes from the Andes mountains caress the vineyards, causing extreme fluctuations in temperature. The resulting wines are intense in colour, full of fresh fruit, highly concentrated and with mature tannins, delivering a well-balanced palate. An intense red-purple coloured wine. On the bouquet aromas of black plums, tobacco and mild spices combine with smoky notes. This wine has a velvety palate with silky, sweet tannins, black pepper, tobacco and dominant notes of ripe black plums with gentle, toasty nuances that create a fresh and lingering finish. Serve at between 16°C (61ºF) and 18°C (64ºF)

Tiny Tights to Knee-High Socks. So, I had two problems.

Born into a globe trotting family, Vita Sgardello is a freelance writer and journalist who feels at home everywhere and nowhere.
How popular are these apparently so aggressive and pest-like praying mantids? They are great pest-controllers, have a huge variety of different species, from flower mantis to giant African tigers of the cabbage patch; they make marvellous, quite attentive pets and dont bother your mother because they die after their short adult span. Now we learn something new about a familiar animal. Those leaps they made as nymphs are actually carefully plotted, either to escape from their cannibalistic siblings, or to jump on tiny flies. The wonder of super-mantis never stops.
Where in the world can we discover new primates? The answer is only in tropical rainforests, but they will certainly be endangered species, like several of the titis and many, many others. We only have one solution to this tragic loss of life, species, habitat and ecosystems. Stop cutting down the last remnants of these once-great forests. It doesnt even make commercial sense, as this business is never going to be sustainable. Greed is the motive and its result has always been the same.
Where are we going, as climate begins to dominate the years news? With Ukraine and Syria big on bad behaviour, the concentration needs to shift to the millions threatened by other events. As Lennon (and not Lenin) said, war is over, except it seems to hang on like an unwanted spectre. Global problems should now begin to occupy our collective thoughts.
Need to save money after the spending boom to end them all? Here are 2 sets of opinions on how to pull out the plugs at night at least.
When dolphins are 'rescued' in various countries, the car given seems to be ill-considered. We are simply looking at the success rate which is reported to be low, in most places. They could even end up in commercial aquarium shows, but they certainly rarely make it back to the sea.

South Korea's unpopular young government is having second thoughts about the benefits of running the world's most wired society.
The mass access to the Internet, which helped ex-CEO Lee Myung-bak to his resounding presidential election victory, went on to become the instrument helping shatter that popularity in just five months in office.
Now the government is working on new rules to rein in the excesses of its netizens and bring some control to the information -- and disinformation -- that bombards the nation's computer screens.
"We have to guard against 'infodemics,' in which inaccurate, false information is disseminated, prompting social unrest that spreads like an epidemic," Lee told parliament early in July.
What if a librarian caught an infodemic?

Posted: July 10th, 2013 by: EricSoul
Previous Post Next PostThroughout history (esp. in hiphop history), we've witnessed over and over again tribute songs dedicated to mothers. Mothers Day, for example, will always overshadow Fathers' Day (due to some events surrounding that holiday, like for example, graduation time). Let's face it; fatherhood in hiphop is a really strained one. Most of the times you hear about songs about the deadbeat fathers, with a few (and I do mean a few) championing songs dedicated to the ones being there for their kids (you can check the margin over at Complex). The fact is.. whether it's in music or not, mothers are more looked at in a bright light than fathers are…
…which brings me to this point. Hawdwerk's latest single, The Father's which features vocals from Yung Miss is another one of those positive songs about fathers (well.. you can include uncles, and other male role models worldwide). This joint is the final single off his February release, The Graveyard Shift. If you like the track, you can grab it here as well. If you pay attention, you can get more of an insight on how the 'Blue Collar' emphasis came to be.

Manchester City fan left red-faced by '2011 Champions League Winners' tattoo
Confidence can be a good thing as long as it doesn't come back to bite you later on. Unfortunately for one Manchester City supporter, that has happened. Fanatical Kirk Bradley was so convinced when the season kicked-off that his beloved Blues would take the Premier League by storm, that he predicted Champions League glory would follow too... and he got a tattoo to prove it! Oops: Kirk Bradley was so confident of his team's success that he decided to get a tattoo predicting their triumphs The 25-year-old emblazoned his arm with a picture of the famous trophy complete with the slogan 'Manchester City 2011 Champions League winners'. But after Wednesday's defeat by Tottenham there is no chance his prophecy will be fulfilled. Despite spending more than £200million City can only finish as high as fifth, leaving them to slug it out for Europa League honours while Tottenham take on Europe's elite. We must go TWO better and finish third next season, says De JongRedknapp to auction soaked Spurs suit after Champions League splashIreland questions future at Man City after 'difficult year' at EastlandsMartin Samuel: Sorry City, it's a great result and Eastlands fans will approveMANCHESTER CITY FC

Thank you guys already for all the info you indirectly gave me
Anyway, I'm Mathieu. I've been riding since my 10 years and I'm 17 now. I don't really like going in the park, although I'm trying to change that, just to mix things up.

Why I Love Reading Other People's Code And You Should Too
"Being good at reading code is important to your survival as a professional developer. Any non-trivial project these days will be a team effort and so there will always be large chunks of code you had no hand in which you have to work with, modify and extend. And so, code reading will likely be the most used and most useful skill you can have; better bite the bullet and get good at it – fast."

For those not in the know, this is satirizing the great "should journalists learn to code" debate of October 2013. (I note the date because it seems to recur every year or so.)

My problem with side-projects is that I never think an idea is good enough…

After five sacks, an interception and just four of ten completions in 20 minutes of play, Charlie Frye is being buried in Cleveland's quarterback graveyard. The Browns have decided they've seen enough of Charlie Frye. The Browns' former first string quarterback will be resurrected though as a Seahawk in Seattle. Who knows what string he'll play there. On the Sound of Ideas, it's the shake-up in Berea. Will this solve the problems plaguing the Brownies? What role will the returning Ken Dorsey play with the Browns?

Swimming in the United States needs a constant flow of new bodies to keep running.
It's so sad sometimes.
The reason for this is that swimming is just such a HARD sport, that most people can never get into it, and those that do, usually burn out at a young age.
At Western Zones, one of the fastest meets in the country, I checked the time standards. And, the time for 15-16 boys for a 50 free was 22.99.
The 17-18 time for boys 50 free is 23.29.
The time for the older age actually gets SLOWER.
This is because so often, the people who are good young, get sidetracked, and burn out when they get older.
Like Nicole. She's REALLY good. She got 2 sectionals times, and a bunch of Champs times. But, I seriously doubt she'll still be swimming at the age of 17 or 18. She's already on the verge of burning out, and has been so for a while. She does a lot of sports, and gets distracted by those, and she doesn't really like swimming that much.
I suspect that a lot of that comes from her overbearing father, who pressures her a LOT to go harder.
Or, the "A" family. (I won't say the whole last name, because I'm just about to tell you first names)
There's Emily, 14. She's never really been that into swimming, and she's really not that fast either.
There's Chris, 12. He's pretty fast for his age, although not that much if at all faster than I was at that age.
There's Eric, 9. He's REALLY REALLY fast. If he keeps swimming till high school, he'll be going to Junior Nationals most likely if he keeps good intensity.
There's Jacqueline, 6. She hasn't been swimming for that long, but she wants to be fast, and she is pretty fast for her age.
Then there's Emily, 2 (?). She doesn't swim, and I barely ever see her.
Well, big Emily's probably never really going to push herself.
And, Jacqueline really wants to be fast some day, but I just can't see that she won't burn out sometime in the future of her possibly 12 year career.
Eric, too. He's young.
So, by my estimate, the "A" family will one day drop out of swimming. Maybe one by one, with increasing pressure on the remaining ones to leave once their siblings have left.
In fact, in the new class, I imagine that what's going to be left is me and Alyssa, the daughter of the dryland coach Lee.
She's fast and dedicated, with a great work ethic.
The fastest person on our team, Blake, has Zones times. Which are fast (There's only 4 zones in the country. They're big). But, he was lazy until high school.
He told me that coming into high school, his 100 free was 1:20.
Mine is running about 1 minute right now.
It was then that he actually started working. Now he has Zones.
Most people just don't last long enough to get REALLY fast. Only the ones who come in later, like Blake, or a select few with an everlasting love of the sport, which would be people in the Olympics.
It's so SAD...
All the fast people leave.
I'm presuming it's because they take it so seriously that at some point it just loses the fun and becomes too stressful to handle. Sometimes you have to give things up.
You're a teenager, dear. You have all the time in the world to get yourself to be fast...
You're twisted and perverted. I like that in a person.
The exact point is that I DON'T have all the time in the world to be fast.
Swimming is a young person's sport.
Sectionals and Zones are only for 18 and under.
Junior PNS is only for 14 and under. I'm barely young enough to go to that next year.
I basically have through high school, and I don't even know if I'll still do it through college.
But, after college, I have to get a job. Swimming is expensive. I simply won't have time.
Hai-kus are ea-sy
But some-times they don't make sense

CeDR Film Club: Examined LifeDate: 28 January 2010 Time: 18.00 pm Venue: Bowland North Seminar Room 25 CeDR is organizing the screening of a series of interesting and thought-provoking disability-related films. The first screening will be this Thursday, 28th of January, at 6pm on Bowland North Seminar Room 25. The film is called Examined Life. Entry is free and everyone is welcome! The film will be introduced briefly and after the screening a short discussion will follow. Here is a short synopsis of the film: Examined Life pulls philosophy out of academic journals and classrooms, and puts it back on the streets. In Examined Life, filmmaker Astra Taylor accompanies some of today's most influential thinkers on a series of unique excursions through places and spaces that hold particular resonance for them and their ideas. Peter Singer's thoughts on the ethics of consumption are amplified against the backdrop of Fifth Avenue's posh boutiques. Michael Hardt ponders the nature of revolution while surrounded by symbols of wealth and leisure. Judith Butler and a friend stroll through San Francisco's Mission District questioning our culture's fixation on individualism. And while driving through Manhattan, Cornel West - perhaps America's best-known public intellectual - compares philosophy to jazz and blues, reminding us how intense and invigorating a life of the mind can be. Offering privileged moments with great thinkers from fields ranging from moral philosophy to cultural theory, Examined Life reveals philosophy's power to transform the way we see the world around us and imagine our place in it. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1279083/ Contact: Who can attend: Anyone Further informationAssociated staff: David Bolt, Eric Emerson, Chris Hatton, Hannah Morgan, Donna Reeve, Bob Sapey, Carol Thomas Organising departments and research centres: Applied Social Science, Centre for Disability Research CeDR, Division of Health Research |

I wanted to know how (real) elevators work. But, so far, I could not find much material about the algorithms they use, nor software (if any) for simulation. Could anybody give me references for that?
Interesting question. Makes me want to do some research on this as well. Wiki has a reference to a book Barney, G. (2003, January). Elevator Traffic Handbook: Theory and Practice. ISBN 9780415274760. Here's a snippet from Wiki (you might have seen it already): |
There are different implementations of course, but the most prevalent is this one: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elevator#The_elevator_algorithm Since in actual buildings the ground floor is usually used more frequently than others, there are also a fair amount of implementations which let the elevator return to the ground floor after a certain time of inactivity. (On a side note, there is a telling that Donald Knuth once spent a day in an elevator just to be absolutely sure that he would describe the elevator algorithm correctly, but I can't find a reference for that.) |

New York Life Longevity Benefit Variable Annuity Is the First Investment Vehicle With an Internally Funded Longevity Benefit
NEW YORK, N.Y., December 19, 2006 — New York Life Insurance and Annuity Corporation (NYLIAC) announced today the introduction of the New York Life Longevity Benefit Variable Annuity, which offers the tax-deferred growth potential of a variable annuity plus a stream of lifetime income for purchasers who live a long time and need protection against outliving their financial resources.The new product is a response to the increasing realization that longevity can present a major financial risk in retirement. Today, there is a greater than 50 percent chance that one person who is part of a 65-year-old couple will live past age 90.1 NYLIAC's newest variable annuity product gives consumers the ability to accumulate retirement assets now, while simultaneously building an extra source of income for the future. The product also features an up-front premium credit 2 and offers a wide array of investment options that can help customers grow and diversify their retirement savings.
"Americans are living longer today, and their retirement needs and concerns have changed significantly," said Corey Multer, vice president. "Growing one's retirement nest egg is essential, but so is having a plan for making sure that nest egg lasts throughout retirement. The New York Life Longevity Benefit Variable Annuity offers an innovative way for policyholders to maximize their growth potential now while feeling more secure that they'll have an additional stream of lifetime income in the future if they are fortunate enough, as many of us will be, to live beyond their average life expectancy."
Customers select the age at which they want their extra Longevity Benefit income payments to start – 75, 80, or 85. The longer policyholders wait before their additional lifetime income payments begin, the larger those payments will be.
"Best of all, the Longevity Benefit income payments are received in addition to the balance in the variable annuity. Unlike other VA living benefits, clients don't have to forfeit their variable annuity policy's value to receive their longevity benefit income payments. Once their longevity benefit income payments start, clients are free to use the money in their annuity for whatever they want – they can withdraw it, keep it as a legacy for their heirs, or even exchange it for another stream of lifetime income payments to supplement their longevity benefit income," Multer added.
In addition to the longevity benefit income, policyholders can also take advantage of the annuity's 44 professionally managed investment divisions plus a fixed account.3 The product also provides a guaranteed death benefit, which ensures that a policyholder's beneficiaries will be protected if he or she dies prematurely.
New York Life and New York Life Insurance and Annuity Corporation (NYLIAC) continue to be among the highest rated institutions by each of the four major independent rating agencies for financial strength: A.M. Best (A++), Fitch (AAA), Moody's Investor Services (Aaa) and Standard & Poor's (AA+). Source: Individual Third Party Ratings Reports (as of July 18, 2006). These ratings do not apply to the investment divisions, which will fluctuate in value.

Time to follow the will of voters
Written by Opinion Monday, November 26, 2012 06:00 pm
< Prev | Next > |
To the editor:
Margate voters spoke Nov. 6, and it is time for Mayor Becker and Commissioner Taube to listen. We are tired of the reckless attitude of these two and hope that the no vote on the building department will serve to open the eyes of the two pound-foolish politicians. Margate has 38,000 square feet of usable space at the UnionAvenueSchool, and it is now occupied with our city offices that were destroyed by Sandy.
Thank heavens we did not allow Taube to bully and bulldoze her way through this valuable city-owned asset. The building can easily house our building department as well as community programs and affords other leased-space opportunities.
Thank you, Sharon Simon, for educating us and putting up a fight for all of Margate taxpayers. Citizens will not be subject to an unnecessary $600,000 of debt on a building we desperately didn't need.
It is time for Taube to listen to her handpicked business administrator, along with the city clerk and the department heads and stop trying to make a name for herself in her quest for higher office. If the county needs her, please take her now before we cannot undo the damage caused by this storm.
Margate doesn't need any more new hires as proposed by Taube and quietly perpetrated by Becker. Neighboring towns do just fine with way less. Our savings is in salaries, wages and benefits.
Let's reduce by natural attrition and avoid layoffs and wasteful spending. It is time for these commissioners to wake up. Stop listening to the three "concerned citizens" and follow the will of the 1,453 voters who said no to the referendum.

Rep. Terese Berceau and Sen. Fred Risser will introduce legislation next week to raise the state's beer tax.
Cap Times article here:
http://www.madison.com/tct/news/index.p ... 01&ntpid=2
Edit: As some of you may know, this isn't the first time beer tax legislation has been proposed by Rep. Berceau:
http://www.legis.state.wi.us/assembly/a ... elease.htm
My question is: What about liquor? This legislation is being touted as a way to fund "Alcohol Treatment" throughout the state. IMHO, you can't penalize one poison and not the other, if both can result in the same damage.
A contentious issue this one will be, I suspect - just curious as to how the Forum's Finest feel about it.

MEDFORD, Ore. — A Medford Police officer says he is taking an incredible opportunity by taking over as police chief in Springfield.
Deputy Chief Tim Doney has been selected to oversee the Springfield Department after a two-month search.
Doney has worked with Medford Police for the past 25 years, and has served as lieutenant and commander of the Medford Area Drug and Gang Enforcement Team. He said it was a bittersweet feeling to leave Medford, but that he could not pass up the opportunity.
"It's been a long process, it's been a couple of months. Grueling at times, but the more I've spent time in the Eugene-Springfield area, the better I feel about the decision," said Medford Police Deputy Chief Tim Doney.
Doney will begin work in Springfield in December.

Haviland & Colagiovanni will present their shattering exhibition 'Music for Teacups' including a new performance 'For Best' in which the two will attempt to balance six sets of fine bone china on their heads while walking atop a balance beam. Other works in the exhibition include a recently completed artist book made at Small Craft Advisory Press, the work 'To Rend and to Mend' which features digital photographs and patiently glued together porcelain objects that mark the history of their project. Also on view will be the video 'Music for Teacups' in which teacups break, bounce, shatter and twirl in a magnificent ballet of image and sound.
Haviland & Colagiovanni live and work in Ohio, USA. Their work explores class, etiquette, and heritage across a range of media including video, sound, printmaking, and artist books.
For more information about their work visit melissahaviland.com and colagiovanni.net
]]>"Choice" is a varied edition that includes to individual screen prints of teacup silhouettes–one with more fancy cups, the other more normal. I then drew a teacup into the blank spot in the pattern on each print, technically making each unique.
Images coming soon!
]]>I need two images–one of the cup in profile and one from directly above. Like the "Flying Cloud" pattern below.
You can email the images to haviland @ohio.edu
or firstname.lastname@example.com
Send them soon, please!
I am eager to begin!
#1 Spode Christmas Tree
#3 Wedgewood Runnymede Blue
#18 Royal Copenhagen Flora Danica
The cards were lasercut at the Tech Shop in Raleigh/Durham, NC and screen printed in the printshops at Ohio University.
I also created a new set of business cards that emulate Haviland Schlieger 278.
For two weekends in October, I worked at Replacements photographing china with the pattern name of 'Melissa'.
And before going any further, I have to thank my amazing assistant on the project, Angela Smith. She designed the lighting for the images and captured both 4 x 5 film and digitals. THANK YOU, ANGELA!!
I believe that we succeeded in getting 12 strong images. 11 of the 12 showcase a 'Melissa' china with objects and a dessert or treat. And my pearls are in all of them…
The above image is an example of the final piece that includes all the china from the full shoot.
Now I need to scan negatives and print the photos!
(the first part of the project was more fun!)
Hopefully, it will be the first china factory that I visit over the next year an a half.
I hope to include:
Haviland in Limoges, France
Royal Copenhagen in Denmark
Wedgwood in England
and Noritake in Nagoya, Japan
Thanks to David, Axwagon, Cyndi, and Amy!
David asked this question:
What would happen to teacups glued back together after they've broken?
Then answered it with this quote:
"You may see a cup of tea fall off a table and break into pieces on the floor
but you will never see the cup gather itself back together and jump back on the table. The increase of disorder or entropy is what distinguishes the past from the future giving a direction to time. I began to wonder what would happen when the universe stopped expanding and began to contract. Would we see broken cups gather themselves together on the floor and jump back onto the table? That seemed to me the universe would have to return to a smooth and ordered state when it re-collapsed. If this were so time would go backwards when the universe began to collapse. People in the contracting phase would live their lives backward. They would die before they were born and get younger as the universe got small again."
-Stephen Hawking
Axwagon sent this scene from a from Roy Andersson film–Du levande (You, the Living, 2007).
the WHOLE table…
The Lenox China Company is running the following Facebook promotion:
A CONTEST YOU'LL FALL FOR! Every time the season changes, we'll be launching a new contest just for our friends here on FB! Our Fall contest is designed to bring out the poet in all of us. Just pick out your favorite Lenox pattern (for ideas, visit www.lenox.com) and write a short (4 to 8 lines) poem about it, ending with the pattern name. Post your poems here, we will choose our favorites and the winners will get eight Lenox place settings in the pattern of their choice.
This is a link to their Facebook page.
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE enter this contest!
And if you win you can donate your china to David and I…
We would like to someday some move up to filming the breaking of a full set of china.
We can immortalize your china for you!
(we will both be entering!)
I personally want to break a set of "Autumn"–it is in the TOP 25 at Replacements!!!
And Amy White turned us on to this song about breaking by Nick Lowe:
"I love the sound of breaking glass
Especially when I'm lonely
I need the noises of destruction
When there's nothing new
Oh nothing new, sound of breaking glass.
I love the sound of breaking glass
Deep into the night
I love the sound of its condition
Flying all around
Oh all around, sound of breaking glass
Nothing new, sound of breaking glass…
Safe at last, sound of breaking glass."

This would have been the ideal candidate for 'self' portraits.
I have happily settled for the range of patterns named 'Melissa' for the subjects of a series photographs and possibly drawings.

[Dateline: New York | Author: DPKO]
The annual Heads of Military Components Conference ended last week with recognition of the growing challenges involved in peacekeeping in the 21st century.
Addressing the gathered officers on the last official day of the conference on Thursday, Secretary-General BAN Ki-moon, said that peacekeeping has evolved dramatically over the years, with the possibilities for preventing conflict and making peace expanding greatly while at the same time growing in complexity.
"At times, there is no peace to keep. At others, the consent of the belligerents is lacking," said the Secretary-General. "As military officials, you know better than most that peacekeeping is about far more than achieving military objectives. It is about ensuring political stability and promoting democracy and human rights. It is about providing humanitarian assistance and laying the groundwork for sustainable development."
The annual Heads of Military Components Conference, organized by the Department of Peacekeeping Operations' (DPKO) Office of Military Affairs was held from 3-7 August at UN Headquarters. It brought together the top military officers of the UN's peacekeeping missions, providing them with an opportunity to share experiences and challenges, not only with each other, but also with senior managers and staff from UN headquarters.
UN peacekeeping is now larger and wider in scale and complexity than ever before, with more than 120 countries currently contributing military and police personnel to 17 DPKO-directed and -supported peacekeeping missions, totaling approximately 115,000 men and women in the service for peace.
The Secretary-General's remarks were the culmination of four days intensive discussions on peacekeeping, meetings with DPKO officers responsible for their missions, a meeting with the military and police advisers of the Permanent Missions to the UN and encounters with members of the UN press corps.
In addition, the heads of UN peacekeeping's military components last Wednesday attended part of the Security Council's discussion on peacekeeping operations.
Each year's conference has a programme of work built around a set of thematic issues. This year's conference centered on subjects such as robust peacekeeping and the New Horizon project.
Throughout the week, conference attendees heard from a series of senior DPKO officials, including Under-Secretary-General for Peacekeeping Operations Alain Le Roy, Under-Secretary-General for the Department of Field Support Susana Malcorra, and the Secretary-General's Special Representative for Children and Armed Conflict, Radhika Coomaraswamy.
Other important topics that were discussed in-depth included the Joint Operation Centre/Joint Mission Analysis Centre; safety and security, which involved the attendance of officials from the Department of Safety and Security); women, peace and security, in relation to Security Council resolutions S/RES/1325 and S/RES/1820) and conduct and discipline.
The heads of the military components of the following peacekeeping missions attended the conference: MINURSO, MINURCAT, MONUC, UNDOF, UNFICYP, UNIFIL, UNMIK, UNMOGIP, UNOMIG, UNMIT, UNTSO, UNMIL, BINUB, MINUSTAH, UNMIS and UNAMID (See: Mission names and web sites).
For General Agwai, Force Commander of UNAMID and the Dean of the Head of the Military Components, the Conference was one of the last activities in his current post as he will hand over command of UNAMID's peacekeepers at the end of this month to Lieutenant-General Patrick Nyamvumba of Rwanda, who also attended the Conference in his role as UNAMID's designated-Force Commander.

Four star defensive end/outside linebacker recruit Ishaq Williams was set to make his college decision at the Army All American Bowl Saturday. Three days later, however, the prized recruit is still weighing his options and has yet to make a decision.
For a while now, Notre Dame, Syracuse, and Penn State have been the final three schools Williams has been considering. At this point, it seems as though he is having a hard time deciding based on comments from his father, Shaun Williams, in Tuesday's New York Post.
"[Syracuse coach] Doug Marrone and [Notre Dame coach] Brian Kelly are new, we're pretty confident those guys will be there when Ishaq walks across the stage [with his diploma]," he said. "[Penn State] coach [Joe] Paterno may not be there, however the stability of the Penn State program would still be in place."
Shaun Williams added: "At this point, everyone is equal. There is something that's appealing about each situation – the family connection with Syracuse, the high level of expertise with Penn State and the storied history of Notre Dame and the ability to get that program back to national prominence and for Ishaq to be a household name across America.
Williams is one of the highest rated recruits left on the board for Notre Dame. The Irish already have Ben Council and Anthony Rabasa committed at outside linebacker in this class, but Williams has elite pass rushing skills and would be a huge addition to this year's defensive haul. Those pass rushing skills were on full display in the All American Bowl where Williams teamed with Aaron Lynch and Notre Dame commitment Stephon Tuitt along with Ray Drew to give the East squad a dominant pass rush.
Williams is an early enrollment candidate which means he doesn't have too much more time to make his decision and still enroll in time for the spring semester. Penn State's semester started on Monday while Notre Dame and Syracuse's semester begins on the 18th.

If Kelly can nail down Ishaq and Lynch, this defense has the ability to be one of the best in ND history. With both committed to being early enroll recruits, it could have an immediate impact.
spiceyirish commented on January 12th, 2011 at 11:25 am
It would be great to get him at ND. Two years ago it was Manti Te'o. ND got a play-maker in Prince Shembo last season. This year maybe Ishaq and Lynch. Next year hopefully another player and so forth. Keep on building.
cousinnap replied on January 12th, 2011 at 11:46 am
Your right that is how it gets done – 2,3,4 really key players each year with a good supporting class and the it builds from there – Kelly looks like he is getting it going in the right direction – does take some time tough
LafDomer commented on January 12th, 2011 at 1:25 pm
Seems rather silly, doesn't it. Just a year ago there were questions about Kelley's ability to recruit. Nuff said!
EchoesAwakened commented on January 12th, 2011 at 8:39 pm
While I love to see the Irish doing so well we have to remember that they haven't commited yet. I hope Kelly can seal the deal with ishaq and lynch like he did with Floyd today. Go Irish!
irishman commented on January 13th, 2011 at 10:58 am
Just saw Reddish from Brooklyn has committed to play at Syracuse. Could mean that ishaq is going to the cuse also. Were rumors of them going there together
moemontana replied on January 13th, 2011 at 6:08 pm
It looks like Ishaq is going to Penn State.
DeltaIrish commented on January 13th, 2011 at 3:54 pm
Rivals says Brennan Scarlett just committed to Cal.
bleednd82 commented on January 15th, 2011 at 1:59 pm
Lynch just commited to ND

A U.S.-style financial crisis brewing in China threatens to cut both private and public spending there, potentially tanking an economy that many American corporations dearly need to be healthy now. Without the grand economic growth China has provided in recent years, expect some version of the warning "lower due to a slowdown in China" to show up prominently in U.S. earnings reports this year. There are many likely sufferers.
Rumblings about an economic slowdown in Chinese have been heard for months, fueled by signs of a nascent credit crunch as well as a real estate boom that's led to a massive amount of empty space. The warnings have taken on more authority in recent days as investors watched a drop in China's stock market help bring down U.S. stocks.
For a fuller exploration of China's looming economic problems, see Jonathan Laing's excellent article in Barron's.
Plenty of U.S. companies could miss growth targets if Chinese consumers cut back on their spending – an inevitability if an economic crises fully presents. The core component of Yum Brands YUM -1.46%' (YUM) growth plan is building more KFC's and Pizza Hut fast food joints in China, where it already operates some 4,200 restaurants. Apple AAPL -1.76% (AAPL), which got 15% of its sales from China last year, is planning on expanding its bigger market share there with a phone that costs more than those o...

Just purchased a "air marshal" holster for medium and large auto's from deepconceal.com. I have been looking for a comfortable holster rig that is similar to a shoulder holster with much less bulk. I think this will fit the need.
Just curious if anyone else out there has used this holster or have heard about the company.
Once I get it and try it out, I will do a personal review of the holster for all on the forum.
This is thier web site: Deep Conceal, The Best Little Holster you will Never See
Thanks and Stay Safe!

Our business is in no way connected to the recruitment sector, and the site has been conceived, designed and developed on a voluntary basis within our existing infrastructure.
Our motivation…
Click for Details
This site is entirely inspired by our own recruitment frustrations i.e. the high costs of recruitment.
It is something we have wanted to do for a long time, and have threatened to do every time we have had to spend a significant proportion of a new employees salary in recruitment costs.
We were ultimately inspired to action by the resilience, initiative and community spirit shown by the founders of
The site was set up by ex employees of Evesham Technology in August 2007 after the company went into administration with the loss of 150+ jobs. The site was set up to offer support and advice to ex-employees, including a section of the forum specifically for potential employers to post details of vacancies.
Totallyfreejobs.com was initially conceived as a means of attracting potential employers to assist people like the ex-Evesham employees to find work.

We do not begrudge recruitment consultants charging for their service. We simply feel that the charge should reflect the level of service and expertise required. If as an employer, you feel that your business could benefit from recruitment advice, candidate screening and so on, then it is perfectly reasonable to pay for that service.

After lagging a little more than a month behind our American counterparts, Canadians were finally able to purcahse the Apple iPhone 4 as of this morning. As with so many other Apple launches, the lineups to buy were certainly noteworthy.
My friend Gary from iPhoneinCanada.ca started lining up outside the Apple Store at Pacific Centre (Downtown Vancouver) last night and, as of 6am this morning, he said the line was about 300 deep. I'd imagine lineups would be similar at other major stores across the country. Crazy!
So, in case you haven't heard (and you didn't go line up this morning), here are the prices for the iPhone 4 in Canada. Just make sure you sign up to get that free bumper case too!
Based on this, you can pay a slight premium ($10-$30) to buy from the Apple Store to get a completely factory unlocked iPhone 4 versus the outright price at Telus or Rogers, both of which will presumably have their iPhone models locked to their respective networks. One thing that is still unsure is the data plan for Rogers and Bell have 6GB for $30, but Telus is mum. Did you grab an iPhone today?
[iPhoneinCanada] Photo: tomsaint/flickr
Line up's were unreal! So one would think that buying online would be a good alternative, but its not, Apple's Canadian website states approximately 3 weeks to ship, which means what??? 3 weeks or 8 weeks?
I guess there is no fanfare to selling millions online, but since every news channel in Canada and the US will be showing pictures of Christmas like line-ups at the Apple store this evening, this should boost their stock price some more and provide no incentive to have adequate stock for their online customers.
Viva Apple, you marketing genius'
