Is it weird that I'm not divorced?
Q: Hi Meredith,
I'm a longtime lurker on Love Letters. Now I find myself looking for some good advice.
I'm a woman in my 40s and I have never been married. And I think the fact that I have never been married is a red flag for men when it comes to the online dating world. (I live in the suburbs and most of my friends are married, so online is one of the better ways to meet people.)
I have been in several serious relationships and have had my heart broken a couple of times. In one of my serious, long-term (three-plus years) relationships, we were going to get married. But we realized we just wanted very different things out of life and broke up. I was in my 30s then, and it was actually the first time in my life that I thought I might want to get married. Up until then, I was trying to get my career on track, enjoying my independence, and trying to work through some rather messy family issues. Anyway, that break up was mostly his doing and I was devastated. But after a while, I realized that he was right and we would have made each other miserable and wound up divorced and hating each other. Now I'm happy to have dodged that bullet and to still be able to cherish the good memories from that time.
My last serious relationship ended two years ago, again with me heartbroken. Since then I've dated a few people, but nothing that has clicked and evolved into a relationship. So, now I'm thinking about trying online dating again because I would like to find love. But as silly as it sounds, I feel like there is a stigma attached to being in my 40s and not having at least one divorce under my belt.
Am I off-base in thinking that this is a red flag for some men? How do I go about addressing this issue in a profile without sounding bizarre? Should I bother to address it in the profile?
Thanks for any insight you can offer.
– Still checking off the single box, Quincy
A: Everybody's dating profile has a few potential red flags. You're worried about the fact that you've never been married. Meanwhile, many of your peers fear that they'll be judged because they've gone through a divorce. Women in their mid-30s worry that people will assume they want to have a baby right now. And 20-somethings worry that they won't be taken seriously.
You've had a number of relationships that just didn't work out. If people have questions about your marital status, they'll ask and you'll explain. Really, if the box stops them from contacting you altogether, they're not right for you anyway.
If I were you, I wouldn't address your relationship history in your profile. People don't talk about their divorces in that space. Why should you have to justify your own history to a bunch of strangers? Use those paragraphs to talk about what you do and what you want. That's what people care about -- who you are right now and what you're looking for. Your status isn't a big deal unless you want it to be.
Readers? Will people care that she's never been divorced? Does every profile have a potential red flag? Should she explain her status in her profile? Would her history look weird to you? Thoughts?

Locals know there are lots of little quirks about living in the desert—poisonous scorpions, jumping cholla, Sheriff Joe. But the occurrence of two of sports' most entertaining events this past week had me thinking about perhaps my very favorite desert oddity: the freakish dust storm known as the "haboob." Here's why.
A haboob starts with strong winds that move in quickly from different directions to create a giant thunderstorm in the heart of another pesky summer. It's not unlike fans of two vastly different sports who sweep into the valley to experience golf's biggest party and football's best game in the heart of another perfect winter.
When the cool winds of the haboob's thunderstorm combine with the desert's hot summer air, the storm collapses and starts to release precipitation. Much like a Phoenix Open golfer whose poor tee shot on the 16th is met with loud boos from the gallery until he collapses and starts to cry. Or like a certain football team, whose last cool victory is blasted with media hot air until the team "deflates" and starts to cry.
When this downdraft of cold air reaches the ground, it stirs up a massive wall of sediment more than 60 miles wide and moving as fast as 60 miles per hour. This is coincidentally exactly how far (and precisely how not fast) your commute to either sports venue felt like this weekend, no matter how close your VRBO description may have claimed.
I should mention that a haboob's precipitation is rarely felt on the ground, since it usually evaporates in the hot, dry air beforehand. Because if there was ever a reason why all of us—locals and visitors alike—love the valley for golf, football and everything else right now, a similar lack of precipitation is it. Sure, we saw a bit of rain at the end of the week, but I promise you'll never read a headline that has "Arizona" and "historic, crippling snowstorms" in the same sentence.
For people new to a haboob, it's advisable to seek temporary shelter, especially during a strong event. Likewise, for people new to the Valley, it's understandable to want to seek permanent shelter, especially after a spectacular week at the Phoenix Open and the Super Bowl. Just remember, sports fans—there are 51 other weeks of the year, and I cannot promise that following our beloved Coyotes, Diamondbacks, Suns and Cardinals won't have you throwing lawn chairs into your backyard pool soon enough. But I can promise you that in the 11 years since the dust settled on my move to the Valley of the Sun, I can finally admit…I love this weird state we call Arizona. Yes, even in the summer when it's 110° in the shade…and a huge haboob starts blowing in—like massive crowds flocking to golf's craziest party, or to football's biggest game.

U.S. Current Account Deficit, Spanish Version

Investors and policymakers throughout the world were confronted with the risk of painful economic consequences arising from the large U.S. current account deficit. In 2007, the U.S. current account deficit was $731 billion, equivalent to 5.3% of GDP. The implications of the deficit were debated with intensity. At one extreme, it was argued that large deficits would eventually resolve themselves smoothly, even if they persisted for many more years. Former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan was among those expecting a "benign resolution to the U.S. current account imbalance." Other analysts, such as economists at the World Bank, believed the large deficits raised the risk of a sharp and disorderly fall of the dollar and that necessary macroeconomic adjustment that could be painful, for the United States as well as for the rest of the world. The Financial Times asked: "How long will foreigners be prepared to make such generous 'gifts' to the US?" In this environment, Berkshire Hathaway, run by legendary investor Warren Buffett, postulated that current account imbalances would lead to "some chaotic markets in which currency adjustments play a part" and announced to shareholders a plan to increase investment in overseas companies to protect against this risk. It remained to be seen what the short and long-term implications of the current account deficit would ultimately yield.
learning objective:
To study the drivers of the widening U.S. current account deficit and the effects of an adjustment on the world economy and business environment; to review the dynamics of current account imbalances; and to explore parallels with previous historic periods of U.S. external imbalance as well as the relationship between the current account balance and net asset position, including the effects of valuation.

Balance of payments; Business & government relations; Currency; Economics; Foreign direct investment; Foreign investments; Incubators; International business; Long-term debt; Macroeconomics; World economy

I'm in the middle of Naomi Novik's Temeraire Series at the moment. I just finished the second book and will be starting the third today.
On a personal note (if I may brag a little), I had a New Years resolution/challenge with a friend to read 50 books this year and the book I just finished was my 50th! So I'm feeling pretty good about myself right now.
September 9th, 2008, 02:06 PM #33
Is Drood Fantasy at all, or is this a straight up historical from Simmons? The Terror was basically historical fiction in a cool setting with the horror element of the mysterious creature thrown in. Is this similar?
September 9th, 2008, 02:12 PM #34
Dark Hollow by Brian Keene. This is categorized as horror but I'd label it as a (b-grade) urban fantasy. While entertaining, it was quite lacking in the chills department.
Cast In Shadow by Michelle Sagara. Ugh the pain. The writing style is extremely choppy and just plain annoying. One or two-word sentences abound, the author will constantly state everything and its contrary ("She was so afraid. And then again not." NOTE: this is not a quote), the dialogue is atrocious and way out there, the characters are unbelievable. I had to give myself an extra push to finish it.
I was curious about Michelle Sagara West and I guess I've learned my lesson: I'll stay away from her rather large collection of novels.

Well, just ploughed my way through Toll The Hounds.
I never thought I'd say it, but this was a bit of a struggle. At first, I was exhilirated to be back with Anomander Rake, Kruppe, Mappo, Picker....
But my word, does this one drag on... And on... And onnnnnn...
Suffice it to say: Kruppe used to be my favourite character in the series, but I'd be happy to give his now pedantically bloated gut a very wide berth for some time to come. Really, the man should revert to his formally obtuse senses...
Ah well.
Next up: Brian Ruckley's Bloodheir. I liked Winterbirth, which I thought was solid and well written, but hardly spectacular. The latter may explain why I don't remember all too vividly what actually happened during that first novel (other explanations are, unfortunately, viable). Mercifullly, though, Ruckley provides a brief synopsis, so now I'm all set...

I finsihed up Return of the Crimson Guard by Ian C. Esslemont. It's good and provides some fun entries in the Malazan world, but Esslemont still has some growth as an author. There are a few annoying habits there still, but it is an improvement in writing quality over Night of Knives.
I'll be reading Pandemonium by Daryl Gregory now.

I just finished quick reads of Green Rider and First Rider's Call, by Kristen Britain. I remember sitting on the bus on my last year of high school while a friend of mine devoured Green Rider, insisting that despite the cover art and the cheesy plot, it was actually quite a fun read. I think I actually rolled my eyes at her at the time. To be honest, that was before I truly got into the genre, but the covert art IS awful, and so is the plot. And the writing. But for some reason, the story enveloped me, enough so that I could roll my eyes at a turn of phrase and still enjoy the ride. I have no intention of reading High King's Tomb, given the reviews at Amazon and elsewhere, because I see no point. In the meantime, can someone spoil the book for me and tell me what happens? Especially with the king?
After that, I went through my mental list of recommendations and picked up His Majesty's Dragon, by Naomi Novik. I know exactly what's kept me from reading it so far, and that's the fact that I have no interest in anything that sounds like it could have been written by Jane Austen. Again I am proven very wrong. What a wonderful book! I devoured most of it in one single afternoon, and quickly picked up the next two. The dragons are great, of course, but the action and character portraits are better. Unfortunately, I finished the first book at 1:30 AM last night and read the exerpt from the next book, which made me very angry. I hope Temeraire and Laurence don't get split up, because if they do, I will not read any more. I am finicky that way. In any case, I was so angry I couldn't sleep, which is why I am so very tired now. It is a rare author who can keep me up past my bedtime. I need my sleep too much to be able to afford losing it to a book, but it was worth it in this case.
September 9th, 2008, 07:20 PM #38
Amaunette, I think you're safe to continue with the next one without banging against the wall... and I suspect you'll like all the books in the series so far. (hint, hint).
My last fantasy read was Guy Gavriel Kay's A Song for Arbonne, which I enjoyed quite a bit, though perhaps not one of his best. In this one, he leaves us with quite a teaser of an epilogue, designed to make the reader speculate. I like that.
September 10th, 2008, 12:11 AM #39
Finished Jim Butcher Grave Peril [the third Harry Dresden] - a good read, but I still wait for the series to improve. I appreciate the humor and the pace, but I thought the way Dresden overcomes greter and greater odds a little over the top.
Also finished K J Parker Escapement - the final book in the Engineer series. I will definitely search for other books by this author [he or she, doesn't matter if the books keep coming]. I guess I was hooked by the wealth of details,even if I think the author played around with numbers a little too much [one nation goes from a few hundred bedraggled survivors in the desert, to a 30000 strong heavy cavalry ?]. Another strong point was the ambiguity of characters - up until the final chapters they could go in unexpected directions. It wasn't a choice between good or evil - the author made it clear the point of the series is mostly all evil. Which brings me to another feat : a major series without magic pitching in at the very last moment to save the day. And a series without prophecy, although there is a deep sense of predestination, of characters moving in predetermined paths set by forces outside their control.
After these 2 fairly interesting books, I got stuck about 150 pages into A Companion to Wolves by Sarah Monette and Elizabeth Bear. I think this is the first book I start and throw away unfinished in a very long time. I initially picked it hoping for some echoes of Fitzchivalry and his wolf, but in chapter after chapter I waited in wain to find something else beside the gay porn with wolves thrown in the mix. No worldbuilding, no plot beside educating young Isolfr in the ways of manly love. Maybe somebody who finished the book could tell me if anything else happens in this book.
So, to wash away this experience, I searched for a book without prudish misconceptions about sexuality, but at least with some quality writing and I picked E Annie Proulx The Shipping News, which I find enchanting. I'll go back to fantasy after I finish it.

I have just started on A Feast of Crows, it's plot is rather meandering compared to the previous volumes and I kinda miss the Tyrion chapters. Nice to see what Dorne and Braavos is like though.

Finished Hard to Be a God by Strugatsky brothers.
So and so. Too much political rumbling and next to zero of action.
Then I read Doorways in the Sand by Roger Zelazny.
Just OK. Probably if I read it when I was 16-18 I would be more excited, however, at 34, just OK at the best.
I am starting The Name of the Rose by Umberto Eco. Let's see whether it lives up to the hype around it.

I finished The Good Thief by Hannah Tinti. While it has some associational elements to fantasy it is a straight historical mainstream book so I put my mini review in the Current Non-Genre Reading - link below. I think it's a little gem of a novel and I expect to reread it several times.

I finished The Lace Reader by Brunonia Barry which has a bit more fantastic elements than The Good Thief so I include my comments here. The book takes place in present day Salem, Ma of the witch hunt notoriety and it was at first independently published but then generating buzz it was picked up by a major publisher for a 6 figure advance and it shot to high places on the NYT bestseller list.
This is one of the few books that I thought I would love a lot based on a superb excerpt but I quickly got bored with it and fast read to the end rather than abandoning it just because of the narrator who was reasonably interesting - it slowly transforms itself into a run of the mill atmospheric mystery with a touch of the fantastic with nothing special to distinguish it from the many similar books published all the time these days after the sales success of several such.
Mediocre prose, banal story, and a big disappointment overall based on what I heard about it.
Maybe if I would not have read recently similar but way superior books like The Good Thief or The Monsters of Templeton I would have enjoyed this more. An ok beginner try but no more

Try either OJ r add some sugar.
Alot of restaurants add sugar to make the dirnk more universal and it appeals to alot of people.
but if your in a mood to please. Try this drink.
1 1/2 oz of Jose cuervo 1800 (dark tequila)
1/2 oz of jose cuervo white (white tequila)
1 1/4 oz of Rose sweetened Lime juice
1/2 oz of triple sec
3 wedges of lime
heres the secret
add a splash of orange curacao (Bols)
mix all of it together(except limes squeeze 2 in the mixer but do not put them in the mixer)
add salt to glass and put limes around edges

Post subject: Margarita
Ok no offence but those are not margaritas
A margarita is
2 Tequila
1 Triple Sec
squeeze Lime
Play with the proportions until you get it tasting right
If you don't like the tequila taste - use less tequila
If you don't want it too sour - use less lime juice
If you want a RTD - go buy one.
Trust me - don't kill classics by adding ingredients that don't belong in them - or call it something else.
I never understood a classic gin martini for ages - then I just bought a bottle of tanquary and noilly pratt - took them home and played for ages. This investment is worth it. As you can flair all you want but if you can't make a classic cocktial then you bring negativity from customers.
Have you tried this drink frozen - double the ingredients add more ice and put it in a blender. Frozen Margarita.
However - remember that the classic is a sipping drink and lime juice should be used.
I hope I haven't spoiled your day.

However you want to call your margarita make it the way it should have been created the 1st time round! Not with an ORANGE LIQ (what does it have to do with Tequila anyway?) and use ALL Natural Ingredients!
Only Tequila that says 100% Agave on the bottle (meaning they havnt added shit alcohol to make up 49% of the bottle)
I.E-Jose Curvo Especial!!!!!!!!!!!!
& Suaza Blanco+Gold
Only use fresh limes squeezed there and then!
And most importantly Agave Syrup (the sugar wich all Tequlia is made from)
simply 2 parts 100% Agave Tequila
1 part Fresh squeezed Lime
1 part Agave Syrup
Im from London England, an we can buy it here (in health food stores) so i dont see why you carnt get it in the U.S.A. The drink is made a thousand times a day in Tommys Bar in San Fran, where the guy who runs the place Julio Bermejo, holds the largest stock of 100% Agave Tequila in the world.
No Chemicals means NO hangover!!!!!!!!!!!

all i am seeing is horrible horrible advice to use terrible liquors and bad ways to give a customer a shitty drink
*the* best marg.
hand press 3 lime halves.
jig of el tesoro PARADISO tequila (very expensive, but will not drown in a marg... garunteed!).. or anejo, or silver if you are working your way down...
1/2 oz of patron citronage (mexican cointreau... very quality, half price)
1/2 oz simple syrup
shake and serve in KOSHER saleted rim. Kosher salt tastes the best.

3 Tequila
2 Triple sec
1 Lime juice
2 Sweet and Sour
Splash Orange Juice
That's called a Texas Margarita.
Tourists love it and ask for at least 2 rounds during dinner.
Kosher salt really IS the best salt for it.

UNH roundup: Women mow down Vermont
Thursday, February 7, 2013
DURHAM — Kelsey Hogan scopred a season-high 17 points to lead the University of New Hampshire women's basketball team to a 67-45 win over Vermont on Wednesday.
The Wildcats hurt themselves from 3-point range. They made just 3 of 14 treys, all three from Scott Morris in five attempts. Vermont was 7 of 22 from long range.
Pelletier swept the diving events at the meet, posting a score of 277.35 in the 1-meter five while taking gold in the 3-meter dive with a score of 271.42. She now holds the top conference score in the 1-meter and is second in America East in the 3-meter.
Twombly helped New Hampshire to a fourth-place finish at the URI Invite over the weekend. The junior won the 800-meter run with a time of 2:14.29. Twombly's time qualifies her for the ECAC Championship and also ranks as the second-best America East time in that event.

Frankfurt is both a Central European small town and an international metropolis, home to the second largest airport in Europe and the European Central Bank. On the streets you can hear English nearly as often as German, and the skyline of the city centre with the high-rise buildings is reminiscent of New York City. That's why Frankfurt has been nicknamed Mainhattan.

who da fooooooooooooooook use solaris huh?
for the 'kubuntu live cd' guy: complain to canonical. Kubuntu sucks. Everybody knows that. So what? Don't use kubuntu. Use a distribution where KDE is not tortured with bad patches.
Also, Vista? Are you kidding me? If you had said 'I prefer gnome, because it looks almost like Windows ME' well, that would have been a lot more believable.
@smitty3268 Are you sure about that i can crash it in 5 minutes if i want.
OK Kubuntu is build around 4.2 so it's 4.3 very better.

Teen Depression
Teen Depression
There are many books that have been written on depression, but we are now just learning how to identify and treat this illness in teenagers. Misinformation often causes parents to think that their child is depressed when many symptoms of depression masquerade as typical teenage surliness or drug use. This can be a scary reality for parents as boredom and depression often have similar symptoms.
Teenage depression doesn't manifest itself as clearly as adult depression.
What is depression? Depression is a medical condition that can cause dysfunction in every aspect of one's life. Some of the various types of depression include:
• Major depression
• Dysthymia
• Bipolar Disorder
There are many factors that can cause depression in teenagers. These include biochemistry (a chemical imbalance of mood regulation in the brain), genetics, family history, substance abuse, and an illness or difficult life changing situation. Some people have mild depression, while others suffer much more severely.
Childhood depression is a serious impairment, which is often missed because adolescents suffering from it do not verbalize their feelings. Often the depression gradually becomes more severe and the teenager can no longer cope with life. Today, we realize that depression sometimes begins in early childhood, and that approximately two percent of pre-teens and five percent of adolescents suffer from this disorder. We are also learning that depression in teenagers presents itself differently than in adults and that treatment modes also differ for teens.
Depression in children does not always manifest itself as it does in adults, which is characterized by a loss of interest in life. Instead of being sad and debilitated, the teenager may exhibit agitation and irritable behaviors. They may also have physical symptoms, such as headaches and stomachaches. Teenagers often express their emotions through their body, and unfortunately these complaints are usually treated with medicine rather than therapy (Group Therapy).
Parents should not try to diagnose their child. They should communicate their concerns to a professional and then make the decision as to whether the teenager needs help.
The first step for the parents of a depressed teenager is to acknowledge that their child might have a problem. Denial and guilt are common problems when it comes to teenagers with mental health issues. Some parents feel guilty or blame outside forces for the problem, or just think that the teen needs a swift kick in the pants to pull them out of their funk.
Depression is a serious, legitimate illness. If left untreated, depression has serious long-term implications (even the risk of suicide), and deserves the same compassion and attention as any other illness. A depressed teenager is not lazy, willful, or just trying to get out of work; they are ill and need treatment.
Start by researching treatment the same way as when looking for a reputable medical doctor. Find out if they are members of the A.P.A. and if they graduated from an accredited university. Sometimes the most effective treatment is one that takes place outside the home. By placing the adolescent in a nurturing environment, they are given the opportunity to focus on their illness and rediscover themselves. Teens placed in therapeutic boarding schools continue their education while learning life skills, under the supervision of qualified therapists.
Psychotherapy may utilize a cognitive or interpersonal approach to exploring events and feelings that the teenager is unable to cope with and help develop new coping skills. Cognitive therapy recognizes that emotional health is related to thought patterns and beliefs about the world and the way the teenager relates to their environment. The depressed teen is often pessimistic and dominated by negativity and anticipation of harmful outcomes.
Interpersonal therapy focuses on the practicalities of developing healthy relationships at home and at school. It measures mechanisms for loss and rejection, two major adolescent social issues, how to get along with parents and siblings, and how to reduce and cope with stress. Unfortunately, most teens, however depressed, do not come to therapy voluntarily. Unlike their adult counterparts, they have not identified an area in which their depression is compromising their quality of life. This is why group sessions are often less threatening and can teach social skills in a more relaxed atmosphere (Statistics on Adolescent Depression).
Treating adolescents for depression has come a long way in the past decade. As we learn more about the physical and emotional causes of this disorder, the future looks brighter for teenagers that suffer from depression (Group Therapy).

Who should rent storage units?
Houston storage units can be used for a variety of reasons. If you thought self storage is just for storing furniture and clothes, think again. Gun collectors often need a safe, dry place for storing their firearms. Boat or RV owners typically don't want their vehicles sitting in their driveway when they're not in use. Basically, you can use storage for everything—including operating a lawn or landscaping business.
What unit size should I rent?
The first question you should ask is "What am I storing?" After all, what you store will make a difference in the unit size you'll need for your items. If you're just clearing some items out from the basement, you might only need a 5x5 or 5x10 unit. For larger needs, like storing everything you own while you're waiting to move into your new home, a 10x20 or 10x30 is a better option. No matter your situation, make sure you get enough space for your items. And if you know that you'll need room to add more items later, maybe go up a size from what fits your current needs.
Can I save money with USstoragesearch.com?
With USstoragesearch.com, you can compare Houston storage facilities by location, available unit sizes, special amenities, and, most importantly, pricing. This ensures that you're getting the best storage solution for your money. With our site, you can also find special web-only offers from our member facilities, which sometimes include a free month of rent or a free moving truck.
How do I know my items will be safe from theft or damage?
Many storage facilities offer security. Individually-alarmed units, video surveillance, on-site management—all of these amenities can protect your storage unit from break-ins and potential theft. As for the condition of your items, climate-controlled storage is a great option for keeping your belongings in good shape. Climate control keeps your unit at a moderate temperature and humidity level so items, such as antiques or electronics, can't be damaged. For an area like Houston, where the weather can get hot and humid, this feature is worth peace of mind.
Can I store a boat, car, or RV?
Of course! One of the most popular features for Houston self storage is vehicle storage. Instead of keeping your car, boat, or RV in your driveway, where it takes up space and can get damaged easily, you can store your vehicle at a storage facility. With options for indoor, outdoor, or covered storage, you can get exactly what you need when it comes to protecting your vehicle in storage.
Is mobile storage right for my needs?
Mobile storage (sometimes called portable storage) is perfect for people who are moving to a new home or remodeling a current home. Instead of packing everything up and driving it to a storage facility, mobile storage is dropped off at your home. Then, all you have to do is fill it and call the company to come pick it up. They can move your portable storage to your new home or to the company's warehouse—whatever works best for your storage needs.
Is it easy to reserve a unit?
It's very easy to rent mini storage in Houston with USstoragesearch.com. You can even reserve a unit directly on our site. Otherwise, you can always call a facility or request a quote online. With USstoragesearch.com, it's easy

Practice Philosophy
While my approach to plastic surgery blends the latest in technique and technology, I believe that a truly satisfied patient fundamentally begins with a strong patient - doctor relationship. I aim to treat every person like family, which impacts the effort and energy I invest into each surgery. Each person who walks into my office has individual needs and expectations. I strive to build trust and confidence by listening to each patient's needs and educating them on all available alternatives.
As a board-certified plastic surgeon in Laguna Beach, I offer a variety of procedures designed to help you enhance your appearance and feel more confident about the way you look. With treatment options including facelift, liposuction, tummy tuck surgery, and breast augmentation in Orange County, I am able to help patients achieve their goals with advanced techniques that can provide beautiful, natural-looking results. In addition to a full range of facial rejuvenation, body contouring, and breast surgery procedures, I also offer an array of non-surgical medical spa treatments, including BOTOX® Cosmetic and laser skin resurfacing.
All of our treatments are customized for each individual patient for the most successful results. My entire team is committed to meeting your needs with the absolute best in care.
Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery
Our goal with the consultation process is to provide you with all the information you need to make a well informed decision as to whether plastic surgery is right for you. Your consultation will begin with your initial inquiry via telephone or email. In addition to scheduling an appointment, you will have an opportunity to ask any preliminary questions. On the day of your consultation, you will fill our health history and registration paperwork. In addition you will watch an educational video produced by Dr. Mills about the procedure. After the video, you will meet with Dr. Mills and his patient coordinator. Dr. Mills will ask you what you are looking to achieve through plastic surgery and take the time to address your needs and expectations. He will review with you what to expect with surgery and advise you on his recommendations specifically for you. We will provide you with an information packet and show you before and after photos of Dr. Mills' patients. If you would like to speak to a previous patient about the procedure, We would be happy to provide you with a phone reference during or after your visit. We ask that you allow approximatly an hour and a half for your consultation visit. To schedule a consultation, you can call our office or visit www.danmillsmd.com.
Most surgeries are performed at Oceanview Ambulatory Surgery Center (OASC), a private surgical facility that offers the highest level of confidentiality to patients. OASC is medicare certified, which means it has met very strict requirements for providing quality, cost effective surgical care. In addition to employed medical staff with current Advanced Cardiac Life Support, OASC is equipped with the necessary devices to monitor your vital signs in both the operating and recovery rooms.

Cool would be to compare two rolling distros. Arch vs gentoo for example
It's nice to see such benchmark
Cool would be to compare two rolling distros. Arch vs gentoo for example
if anybody thinks installing gentoo is so difficult - they should try themselves and get proven wrong. if you can read and follow instructions - it should take a day first time around.
I'm an Arch user... and though Arch won the majority of the benchmarks, this was not Arch vs Ubuntu. This was Linux 2.6.30 vs 2.6.28, and ext4 vs ext3.
I believe Arch _is_ faster than Ubuntu, but this speed is more in terms of boot, package management, and system "feel". Not actual application throughput.
the "takes 2 weeks to install" might be true if you are running <=400mhz pc. if you have an average desktop pc, even one day is an exaggeration.
most time spent is actually not during compiles, but during configuring the system, if you are new to gentoo.
And obviously you can't take a joke. You don't need 2 weeks to install Gentoo. It's a *joke*. It's a joke because Gentoo needs over a day to install on recent PCs. It's a long time. That's why it's funny to make jokes about it. Like "Chuck Norris needs only 2 weeks" and such. It's a JOKE.
