International Wall of Friendship
Tucked away in the sunken garden of the Commonwealth buildings, International Wall of Friendship ia a unique monument which is easily overlooked. Many nations have contributed to the Tasmanian community-from the construction of the huge dams which generate hydroelectricity to the highly visible face of the Hmong community each Saturday at Salamanca Market. Most recently the Kosovar community found a warm refuge from war and a special place in Tasmanian hearts. It is believed that no other project like this exists anywhere in the world, where to date 47 governments and local communities have gifted a plaque of friendship and peace.

Michelle Obama Addresses Newtown Tragedy in Open Letter
A week after the devastating Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting that claimed the lives of 20 children and six adult staffers, Michelle Obama has published an open letter addressing the tragedy in Connecticut's Hartford Courant.
"As a mother of two young daughters, my heart aches for you and your families. Like so many Americans, I wish there were something — anything — I could do or say to ease your anguish," the First Lady writes in Friday's edition of the newspaper.
"But I know that I cannot begin to imagine the depths of your grief. I know that for many of you, the pain you are enduring right now seems unbearable; and many of you may be asking yourselves, how can we go on — as families and as a community? But I also know that we have already begun to see the answer to that question in the countless acts of courage, kindness and love here in Newtown and across America."
STORY: President Obama Weeps at Moving Newtown Vigil
Friday at 9:30 ET, there will be a national moment of silence at the urging of Connecticut Gov. Dan Malloy. Bells will chime 26 times, once for each of the victims.
The White House said President Obama will also observe the moment from Washington.
"As my husband has said, in the coming weeks, he will use all the powers of his office to engage citizens from across this country to find ways to prevent tragedies like this one," Michelle Obama says in her letter. "And please know that every minute of every day, we are thinking of you, and praying for you, and holding you and your families in our hearts as you begin the slow and wrenching work of healing and moving forward."

We had a really nice sail yesterday evening. The wind was light (8-10) - but it was awesome just being out with the wife and kids.
We anchored just off "Sometimes Islands". These only appear when the lake gets low - and it's now so low that these islands are becoming a peninsula. It's still not quite as bad as it was last year - but it's getting close. 100+ temps and no rain are taking their toll.
Once they got the anchor set, I threw all of them off the boat...
And then settled in for a nice cold beer...
At that point, I thought I'd conquered the missus and the little punks, until I look aft and spotted another one sneaking up on me...
So, off he went too...
With the boat all to myself, I pulled up the anchor and left them all on Sometimes Island...
I assured them they'd be perfectly safe until monsoon season. I'll probably go get them after work today.
(PS - These photos were taken in the water with an iPhone in an AquaBox case. It does distort and blur the images somewhat - but not too bad. It would not take photos underwater through. Don't know why. Phone survived it just fine.)

'American Hawk' Rock Benefit Tonight in Bayville!
It's being billed as "a classic rock spectacular featuring all your favorite songs!"
And it's all for a good cause.
It's being billed as "a classic rock spectacular featuring all your favorite songs!"
And it's all for a good cause.
There he is, on the road again. Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band are off and running on their 2013 US tour. The tour got off to a good start last night (Feb. 27) in Toledo, Ohio. Seger and band pulled out hit after hit, with the usual suspects like 'Night Moves' and 'Turn The Page' as well as deeper catalog numbers like 'Beautiful Loser' and 'Ramblin' Gamblin' Man' gracing the two-hour show.
And you will want to be there.
Just one day after announcing that they will reunite for a 26-date world tour in 2013, the Black Crowes have released more details about the hotly-anticipated trek, as well as news of an upcoming live album.
Most of us, of course, know the long-bearded Billy Gibbons for his work with ZZ Top, but before that, he was a member of the '60s psychedelic outfit the Moving Sidewalks. Now, the guitar great has revealed plans to reunite with that band for a one-off show in support of the career retrospective, 'Moving Sidewalks: The Complete Collection.'
The Black Crowes have announced that they will end a three-year hiatus by reuniting for a 2013 tour of the United Kingdom and the United States.
Meat Loaf may have suggested his touring career was concluding as far back as 2007, but the rocker is finally and apparently ready to say farewell to at least one nation. The vocalist has just announced the 'Last at Bat' tour of the U.K., which is intended to be his final trek in the country.
It was an amazing night of fundraising and music and incredible pairings of rock's elite.
Sir Paul will sub for the late Kurt Cobain at the 12-12-12 Sandy Relief Concert tonight in New York City.
Some jerks are selling them for up to $60,000.
You read that right.

I brewed up a saison a couple weeks ago that had a large portion of wheat malt. I'm a Brew-In-A-Bag and No-Chill brewer with a homemade "Hop Taco" in the bottom of the kettle. As I was transferring to the no-chill cube my filter got really clogged and I had to dump the rest through a funnel. Upon further investigation it looked like the mesh was covered in break material.
Now, I've done at least 10 BIAB/NC brews, including a wit with 50% flaked wheat, and I've never had a clog this bad. The only thing these beers have in common is that none of them contain wheat malt.
So I'm wondering, 1.) does wheat malt produce more break material,
and 2.) has anyone come up with a good way of filtering out excessive break material, or alternately, should I use a more open mesh and just let it through?
Thank you in advance!

The fastest and most efficient way up a tree is with ascenders. Petzl makes these premium ascenders anodized aluminum. Its chrome steel auto-locking cam gives an optimal and ergonomic grip on the rope which reduces fatigue. Couple these with the Petzl Pantin foot ascender and you are off to the races. Extremely light and strong. Always remember to back up ascenders with something such as a split tail with friction hitch or prusik loop. For use with 5/16" to 1/2" (8mm - 13mm) rope.

An insurance form carries first pattern areas into which data representing identify of an insurance claimant and identity of a health insurance company against which a claim form is entered and second pattern areas in which symbols are entered representing a state abbreviation, a congressional district of the state, a city of the congressional district, physician's classification as listed in a State Medical Directory, a number representing the total number of particular physicians in the physician's classification designation, a patient number which changes with every claim filed and an identification number of a health insurance company against whom the claim is filed.
1. An insurance claim form comprising a plurality of first pattern areas including data representing identity of an insurance claimant and identity of a health insurance company,
a plurality of second pattern areas including symbols sensible by optical character recognition technique,
each second pattern area being spaced from all others of said second pattern areas so as to isolate the sensing of said each second pattern area from the sensing of all other second pattern areas in order to prevent erroneous sensing,
said symbols carried in at least one of said second pattern areas being correlated in a predetermined manner with at least one datum entered in one of said first pattern areas,
wherein at least one of said first pattern areas includes data corresponding to one of the insurance claimant's name, the insurance claimant's address, the name of a health insurance company against which a claim is filed, the address of a health insurance company against which a claim is filed.
2. An insurance form in accordance with claim 1, wherein at least one of the second pattern areas carries symbols representative of one of a state abbreviation, congressional district in said state, a city in said congressional district, a physician's classification as listed in a state medical directory, a number representing the total number of particular physicians in said physicians' classification, a patient number representing a particular insurance claim filed and an identification number of a health insurance company against which a claim is filed.
3. An insurance form in accordance with claim 2, wherein said first pattern areas contain data which is visually readable.
4. An insurance form in accordance with claim 3, wherein at least one of said second pattern areas carries symbols which are sensible only by electronic technique.
5. An insurance form in accordance with claim 3, wherein said second pattern areas carry symbols none of which are visually readable and which are sensible only by optical character recognition technique.
6. An insurance form in accordance with claim 4, further comprising
a plurality of third pattern areas carrying symbols visually readable representative of a data which is future with respect to the date of data entry for data in the first pattern area.
The increased use of medical insurance in payment for medical services in recent years has led to an attendant increase in labor of processing claims for medical insurance reimburesment, the cost being borne by the public and the medical establishment.
Further, a necessity for deriving statistical data for the use in improving public health, for instituting appropriate medical legislation and for calculation of insurance risks has led to a requirement for gathering statistical data from which informed judgment can be made in instituting improvements in public health, legislation and insurance.
The invention has for an object the avoidance of the difficulties present in the prior art gathering and processing of medical information.
Another object of the invention is to provide an insurance form, some portions of which may be sensed by electronic optical character recognition (OCR) equipment.
It is another object of the invention to provide an insurance form from which geographical localities pertinent to the claim and claimant may be electronically sensed for subsequent data processing.
It is another object of the invention to provide an insurance form from which data representing physician classification and the number of physicians for a particular classification may be electronically sensed.
It is another object of the invention to provide an insurance form from which data representing a patient number, which changes with every claim filed, may be electronically sensed.
It is another object of the invention to provide an insurance form from which data representing the identification of a health insurance company against whom claim is filed may be electronically sensed.
These and other objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent from the following description when taken in connection with the accompanying drawing which shows, for the purposes of illustration only, one embodiment in accordance with the present invention, and wherein:
FIG. 1 represents an insurance form according to the invention,
FIG. 2 shows an exemplary form of indicia to be electronically sensed, and
FIG. 3 represents a machine configuration by which an insurance form according to the invention may be processed.
Referring now to the drawings wherein like reference numerals are used to designate like parts and more particularly to FIG. 1, there is shown an insurance form 1 with designated pattern areas for entering a claimant's name 2, a claimant's address 3, name 4 and address 4' of a health insurance company against which a claim is being filed. Further details incident to the claim, for example in the form of remarks 5, may be filled in.
Pattern areas 2-5 are blank as the forms are prepared. Data is entered in pattern areas 2-5 by typewriters, word processor or the like.
A series of characters, symbols, which may take the form of digits and letters or the like, is affixed in other pattern areas to the insurance form 1.
As shown in FIG. 1, a two-digit configuration 6 is affixed to identify a particular state, for example, AL for Alabama.
A digit configuration at 7 identifies a particular Congressional District within the state identified at 6.
At 8, a digital configuration is affixed identifying a particular city within the Congressional District identified at 7.
It will be appreciated that the data entries of elements 6, 7 and 8 may correlate with the claimant's address set forth in element 3.
Thus, the state identified at 6 may be the state entered in claimant's address 3 for example. Alternatively, the state entered at 6 may be the state entered in the insurance company address at 4.
At 9, a physician's classification as listed in the State Medical Directory is designated.
At 10, the total number of particular physicians within the classification listed in the State Medical Directory designated at 9 is affixed.
Data elements in pattern areas 6-12 may correlate with that shown in pattern areas 2-5.
The data elements 9 and 10 may be correlated with the data entered at 6 and may bear some relationship to the data entered in elements 7 and 8, but in some instances may have no correlation to 6, 7 and 8.
Element 11 designates a multi-digit patient number which changes serially with every claim filed, that is, it is contemplated that no two forms 1 will have identical patient numbers 11 within any insurance claim system. Thus, in the situation where a single person files a plurality of claims, each claim relating to a different medical service performed, the person will be represented in the insurance bookkeeping system by three different patient numbers 11 as entered on three different forms 1. It may thus be said that the data entered on one or more forms 1 in position 11 will be correlated to the claimant and claimant's address present on the several forms at positions 2 and 3.
Similarly, data elements entered in pattern area 12 may correlate with data elements entered in pattern areas 4 and 4', and in an exemplary form may represent the company entered at 4 and 4'.
Data forms are generated by data processing equipment, not shown, the data processing equipment generating batches of forms, each batch having identical information for indicia 6-10. For example, the forms in a particular representative batch will carry data representing the same state, congressional district, city within the congressional district, physician's classification and number of physicians in the particular classification. Each insurance form within the batch would carry a different number in pattern area 11, which could, in an exemplary batch, be serially numbered from 0000 to 9999, as shown. For larger batches, a larger number of digits, of course, could be assigned to pattern area 11.
An identification number of a health insurance company against whom the claim is filed is entered by typewriter, word processor or the like, at position 12 and, as will be apparent, is correlated to the data entered in position 4 and 4'.
A principal criterion for the choice of configuration for the individual symbols used in pattern areas 6-12 is that each symbol be satisfactory in avoiding erroneous identification by the OCR sensing process. In practice symbols may be used for which OCR hardware and software are available in the marketplace.
While the specific digital representations in the pattern areas of positions 6-12 have been shown variously as having one, two or more digital positions, the artisan may find it expedient to a different number of digit or symbol positions for representing the data to be affixed as expediency may require. For example, patient numbers may exceed the ten thousand available numbers afforded by the four digit positions as shown or, alternatively, the number of digit positions necessary to appropriately represent physician classification in the State Medical Directory may require more or less numbers of digits than the two shown in the example of FIG. 1.
By the same token, it will be appreciated by the artisan that the position of the elements 6-12 need not be linear, as shown in FIG. 1. The elements may be located elsewhere on the form 1. Other positions on the form 1 for the elements 6-12 may be expedient for data input to a particular OCR equipment employed.
Similarly, elements 6-12, if presented in linear configuration, may be presented in a different serial order than that shown in FIG. 1 if found to be expedient by a person practicing the invention.
In another configuration for the elements 6-12, each of the elements may be disposed at any particular place on the form 1, for example, as the requirements of electronic character recognition may dictate. Thus, the State, Congressional District and City designations may be physically disposed adjacent the claimant's address 3. Alternatively, the identification of the health insurance company 12 may be located contiguous to element 4 or 4'.
Data elements may be entered in pattern areas 14, 15 and 16 representing day, month and year, respectively. A different order of presentation may, of course, be selected by the artisan if desired. The data in pattern areas 14, 15 and 16 represents a "Date Due" for payment, for example, a date which is in the future with respect to the date of entry for data in pattern areas 2-5, the date serving as a tickler file, possibly for use in filing systems where filing is manually performed. Data in pattern areas 14, 15 and 16 may thus have a correlation, or be correlated with data entered in pattern areas such as the remarks area 5 or the claim number area 11. The specific location for pattern areas 14, 15 and 16 may be that which is most expedient for identifying the documents in the particular filing system used.
FIG. 2 shows an exemplary notation of a character which might be used for elements 6-12 wherein the data elements represent the state of Alabama as element 6, the first Congressional District of Alabama in element 7, a numerical representation for a city in the first Congressional District as element 8, a designation GS, for example, General Surgery, as the physician's classification within the State Medical Directory as element 9, the total number of physicians in the particular classification as element 10, a multi-digit patient number designating a particular claim as element 11 and finally, an identification number for a particular health insurance company at reference numberal 12. Hyphens such as 13 are shown in FIG. 2 as separating the various data elements. The particular designation employed as shown by hyphens, is exemplary only. The artisan will recognize that other separating symbols may be used, or alternatively, a blank space may be interposed at 13.
In use, with one or more batches of forms with data entered in blocks 6-11 at hand, the claimant or person filling out the form will select a form based upon the circumstances relating to a particular claim, namely the state, congressional district, city in the congressional district, physician's classification and number of physicians, as per data elements for pattern areas 6-10, and will enter, by typewriter or word processor or the like, data representing the claimant's name, address, insurance company, insurance company address and claim remarks in blocks 2-4, 4' and 5 and will also enter a corresponding data entry in block 12 by the same means corresponding to the data entered in blocks 4 and 4'. The insurance form is then ready for OCR processing.
FIG. 3 shows a schematic diagram of apparatus for processing the form 1 with its data entries 6-12. The form 1 is caused to traverse a path, designated by the arrow 20, across the optical character recognition reader 21 during which traverse, reading elements 22 sense the symbol positions of elements 6-12 to generate electronic signals within the OCR reader 21 which are transmitted to a data processor 23.
While optical sensing of the pattern areas 6-12 has been described, practice of the invention by sensing other physical or electronic phenomena, for example magnetic, capacitive, resistive sensing, and other non-optical forms of radiation is contemplated.
By suitable programming well known to those skilled in the art, the several data of elements 6-12 may be logically correlated by means of data processor 23 to produce output at 24 either in electronic form or visual form, for example as a print out or on a cathode ray tube terminal.
While we have shown and described only one embodiment in accordance with the present invention, it is understood that the same is not limited thereto but is susceptible to numerous changes and modifications as known to one having ordinary skill in the art, and we therefore do not wish to be limited to the details shown and described herein, but intend to cover all such modifications as are encompassed by the scope of the appended claims.

Rebels prep for more balanced Auburn offense
No. 4 Auburn (6-1, 3-1 SEC) is still lethal on the ground, leading the SEC with 281 rushing yards a game, but the Tigers are using that success to open things up with a passing game it didn't need at times a season ago. It's another dimension No. 7 Ole Miss (7-1, 4-1) will have to account for when the Rebels host the Tigers in a Western Division clash Saturday (6 p.m., ESPN). (October 29, 2014, Page 1B)
LSU grounds, pounds past Ole Miss
BATON ROUGE, La. — Ole Miss didn't get out of Death Valley alive. The Rebels' offense was bottled up by LSU, a UM defense that's been virtually immovable was pushed around, and No. 3 Ole Miss fell from the ranks of the unbeaten with a 10-7 loss Saturday night in front of 102,321 at Tiger Stadium. (October 26, 2014, Page 1B)
Alabama, others helping Ole Miss prepare for LSU's run-first offense
One thing has become abundantly clear to Ole Miss' players and coaches as they've watched film this week: LSU is going to run the football. A lot. (October 22, 2014, Page 1B)
D-line causes havoc for Worley, UT offense
There was blood in the water Saturday night inside Vaught-Hemingway Stadium and the Ole Miss "landshark" defense smelled it. The defensive line wreaked havoc on the Tennessee Volunteers offensive line and quarterback Justin Worley. (October 19, 2014, Page 2B)
Fast start paces Rebels' win over Texas A&M
COLLEGE STATION, Texas — The 110,633 people who filed into Kyle Field on Saturday night made for the largest crowd to ever witness any kind of football game in Texas. They saw a dominant performance from the visitors. No. 3 Ole Miss had 21 points before the first 20 minutes ticked off the clock and used the fast start to cruise to a 35-20 victory over No. 14 Texas A&M. The win moved the Rebels to 6-0 overall and 3-0 in the Southeastern Conference, their best start in the league since 2003. (October 12, 2014, Page 1B)
Defense gives championship-like effort in win
COLLEGE STATION, Texas — They say defense wins championships. The Southeastern Conference's No. 1 defense looked like a championship caliber team in Ole Miss' 35-20 win over No. 14 Texas A&M on Saturday night. (October 12, 2014, Page 2B)
NOTEBOOK: OM defense picks up offense with performance
With No. 10 ranked Ole Miss' offense sputtering for much of the game against Memphis, it was up to the Rebel defense to pick up the slack. They accomplished that and more in the 24-3 victory Saturday night over the upset-minded Tigers. (September 28, 2014, Page 1B)
Ole Miss NOTEBOOK: LBs Nkemdiche, Bryant productive in returns
NASHVILLE, Tenn.— The Ole Miss defense was back at full strength for the first time this season as it got two important pieces back in Saturday's 41-3 victory over the Vanderbilt Commodores. (September 7, 2014, Page 1B)
Coleman's pick-six puts UM in 'control'
NASHVILLE, Tenn.— Cliff Coleman's interception on the second play of the third quarter was just a small example of how dominant the Ole Miss defense was against Vanderbilt at LP Field on Saturday, but it was a big example of a second chance paying off. (September 7, 2014, Page 2B)
Rebels working to fix woes in running game
After last week's game against Boise State, the talk has been centered around the lack of a running game and the absence of physicality along the offensive line. It's also been the topic of practice this week. (September 3, 2014, Page 6)

By the arrival of Summer 2009 my life had been in sustained disrepair for 2 years. I was unable to work or study. I struggled to leave the house. I had no prospects and saw no future. I was given an Olympus compact digital for Christmas. I barely touched it for the first few months. Then I started to experiment with macro; photographing close-ups of insects, dew, flowers… Gradually, photography drew my focus from loss and ruin to the elegant composition of my world. I haven't looked back.

This Map Shows How To Take An Epic Road Trip Across Europe
Forty-five European cities, 14 days of driving and several months of sightseeing: That's the optimised plan created by an algorithm, a followup to the data-driven perfect US road trip we saw earlier this month. Randal Olson used the same drive-time-minimising algorithm to compute this road trip, but based the cities on Business Insider's selection of 50 must-see places in Europe.
How (And Why) I Stopped Waiting For Others And Started Travelling Solo
Adventuring alone sounds exciting, but it's also scary. Like most people, I've done the majority of my travelling with friends and family. That is, until I realised that I had places I wanted to go and no one wanted to go with me. I struck out on my own because my desire to continue travelling was greater than my fear of being alone.

Domestic independent adoption
Cost: $8,000 to $30,000+
Adoptive families who pursue independent adoptions report spending $8,000 to $30,000 and more depending on several factors. Independent adoptions are now allowed in most states, but advertising in newspapers, magazines, etc. seeking birth parents is not allowed in all states. Costs for advertising for birth parents can be in the $5,000 range. Adoptive parents may find that they pay birth parent expenses for birth parents who then change their mind and that money is not reimbursed. Some couples have had more than one arrangement with a birth parent fall through. Some states require that adoptive parents pay for separate legal representation for birth parents, in addition to their own legal representation. If the child has medical difficulties, birth expenses can be much higher.
Intercountry private agency or independent adoption
Cost: $7,000 to $25,000
Fees for intercountry adoption range from $7,000 to $25,000, including agency fees, dossier and immigration processing fees, and court costs. However, there may be additional costs for the following items which are usually not included in the fees:
- Child foster care (usually in South and Central American adoptions).
- Parents' travel and in-country stay to process the adoption abroad (length of stay or number of required trips varies).
- Escorting fees, charged when parents do not travel, but instead hire escorts to accompany the child on the flight to the parents' country.
- Child's medical care and treatment (occasionally in South and Central America).
Break-down of specific adoption costs
Domestic Adoption Costs
The figures listed below are general ranges; differences may be found depending on:
- the type of adoption
- the area of the United States where the adoption occurs
- whether or not the agency charges a sliding-scale fee based on family income
- the country of origin of a foreign-born child
- the amount of State or Federal subsidy available for a child with special needs
- federal or state tax credits available for reimbursement of adoption expenses
- employer adoption benefits
- state reimbursement for non-recurring expenses for the adoption of a child with special needs.
Application fee: $100 to $500
Home study and preparation services: $700 to $2,500
Post-placement supervision: $200 to $1,500
Parent physical (each parent): $35 to $150
Psychiatric evaluation (each parent; if required): $250 to $400
Attorney fees
Document preparation: $500 to $2,000
Petition and court representation to finalize placement: $2,500 to $12,000

Carlos still couldn't say for sure what had prompted Cecil's breakdown. Only that he'd been fine and happy one day, and then overnight – literally overnight – he had devolved into a crying mess incapable of answering Carlos's questions or calming down. And the next day, Carlos couldn't get him to wake up at all.
He had been in a coma now for about five days, albeit not a very serious one. The hospital doctors said they were fairly certain that it was a self-induced coma, but Carlos refused to believe that Cecil would do anything to hurt himself. It simply wasn't in his nature. Cecil had always been happy-go-lucky, and any time he experienced a problem with somebody he simply talked about it. He just didn't keep secrets, and he especially didn't hide things from Carlos.
The nurses looked at one another with dark, worried expressions. 'Something really traumatic must've happened, then,' the doctor suggested, taking a moment to look up from his clipboard. 'Does he have any enemies, that you know of?'
Carlos blinked and stammered. 'What? No! Of course he didn't, no. Everybody loves Cecil. Even my parents love Cecil.' It wasn't exactly true – nobody was that popular. When they were still in college, there had been professors who found him too boisterous, classmates who found him too eccentric, and to be honest his constant optimism irritated Carlos from time to time. But these weren't exactly abnormal complaints, nor were they one-sided; Cecil had found those same professors boring, those same classmates moronic, and on occasion became irritated with Carlos's workaholic tendencies. But expecting everything to work out perfectly, without kinks, was simply unrealistic. Cecil managed to pass all his classes, shared a (somewhat grudging) respect with his classmates, and he and Carlos adored each other. Now Cecil's greatest opponents were those who disliked the radio station he worked at, the noisy neighbours who insisted he and Carlos were "too loud" (a thin veiled complaint about the fact that their relationship existed at all), and a group of school kids who liked to heckle everyone they passed.
Carlos realized that in his reverie he'd missed the doctor's exit. Everything else the doctor had said was blurred into background noise, and Carlos was now sitting in a chair next to Cecil's bed, all alone. Carlos looked down at his love, looking so untouched and calm for someone whom the doctors were sure had been attacked. Like he could wake up at any moment and begin to babble about the colour-less colour you saw when you closed your eyes. Like if Carlos just touched him, touched his face, he would groan in agitation and swat Carlos's hand away, rolling over with a request for five more minutes of sleep on his lips. Like they were back at home in their bed, and not in a sterile, cold hospital room.
Carlos had to look away from Cecil's face, trying to remember the breathing exercises his college adviser had taught him after his first official panic attack. And this time, just as with every other time, Carlos found that breathing slowly in and slowly out, in his nose and out his mouth, just didn't work for him.
For the first time in six years, Carlos placed his elbows on his knees, his head in his hands, and started to cry.
He had a memory, in dream-like quality - or maybe it was an actual dream - about the morning after.
THE morning after, one of the only mornings that really mattered, in Carlos's opinion. Like waking up on Christmas morning as a child, and holding his breath to see if Santa Clause had actually come. And he did the same thing this time, afraid to open his eyes, just in case he'd imagined the whole thing, the past six months.
'Mmm,' Cecil hummed. 'What are you doing?'
Carlos couldn't control the smile that consumed his face as his eyes fluttered open. 'Nothing,' he whispered, nudging Cecil's nose with his own and leaning in to kiss him hello. 'Was it worth waiting?' Carlos asked, almost afraid of the answer. It was his idea to abstain, after all, not Cecil's. He'd been hurt too many times by men who were just "experimenting" or who had no intention of carrying on an actual relationship, either finding Carlos himself dull or too afraid to be out in such a hostile environment.
Cecil opened his own eyes and graced Carlos with an elegant, lopsided frown. 'Carlos, I'm hurt that you would doubt me.' Cecil smiled as he nuzzled against Carlos's neck, and his heart sped up. 'You are worth everything,' Cecil breathed.
Carlos woke with what he at first thought was an unexplained sadness, until he'd remembered about Cecil. It felt like something was trapped in his head and trying to get out by knocking his forehead down with the hammer of the gods. His left hand was cold, and extended away from his body, just resting on Cecil's side of the bed. It had been three weeks since Cecil's break down, two weeks and four days since he woke up, and two weeks and one day since he was admitted to the mental hospital just across the street from the research lab where Carlos worked. Last night was the first time since this all happened that Carlos managed to get more than two consecutive hours of sleep. He had insisted that Cecil be placed in the Night Vale Mental Hospital not only because it was nearby, but because both he and Cecil knew - or rather, had known - one of the doctors in residence there.
Steve Carlsberg had been a year ahead of Cecil and Carlos at school, but because organic chemistry – a class required for all people majoring in some form of science – was so difficult to get into, Carlos and Steve found themselves in the same class. Carlos always found Steve intimidating, and the feeling only heightened when Cecil told him, in the most off-handed way possible, that he and Steve had once dated. Carlos didn't have a lot of options, though, and the hospital where Steve worked was one of the best in the state. And this morning, Carlos decided with an abject and somber determination, he was going to talk to Steve and visit Cecil.
His colleagues at the lab had been pushing him to go for the past week and a half, but Carlos always managed to find a way out of visiting. 'He's probably waiting by the door for you to come get him,' Paolo insisted. 'Come on, you know how sensitive he is. If you wait too long, you might hurt his feelings.'
Carlos had to restrain himself from snapping at Paolo – for implying Cecil was weak, for insinuating their relationship wasn't strong enough to withstand a few weeks' separation, but mostly for assuming he understood the situation at all. Carlos had to take a deep breath before nodding and making a hollow promise to go after work. Paolo shook his head with a disgusted sigh. 'You know, man, there are some things in life more important than science.'
It was really lucky for Paolo that Vanessa needed his help with an especially tricky experiment, because Carlos was in no shape or mood to deal with any more nagging than the immense guilt he already felt. It wasn't Paolo's fault, strictly speaking, as Carlos hadn't told anyone the full story – only that Cecil was in the hospital for an extended stay.
The only person who knew the whole story, aside from Steve and Carlos, was Dana. She was an intern at the radio station where Cecil worked, and she'd grown close to Cecil over the past couple months in which she'd been interning. She was one of the only interns that Station Management actually liked, probably in part because she didn't mess with – and thereby accidentally break – any of the equipment. But being close to Cecil also meant being close to Carlos, as Cecil hardly kept their relationship a secret. It was an aggravation at first, when they'd only just met, but over time it had become one of Cecil's most endearing traits. By the time Carlos and Dana actually met, she knew almost everything about him. It stood to reason, then, that Carlos would feel comfortable explaining the situation to her.
She, too, was stunned into disbelief. 'He doesn't remember you…at all?'
Carlos shook his head, and then remembered he was on the phone. 'My name didn't even sound familiar to him.'
'So –' he could hear her rustling papers in the background, and then plopping them on a table. He heard a small huff, and assumed she was now sitting on the counter, out in the sound booth where she usually monitored Cecil's show. Carlos closed his eyes and tried not to think about it. 'So, did he think you were just another doctor?' she asked.
'I haven't…been to see him yet,' Carlos admitted. 'They only just told me he woke up.'
'What?' Dana snapped. 'How long has he been awake?'
'Two days.' He heard Dana swear on the other end of the phone, and he shook his head again. 'They didn't want to let me in at first. They thought –' he had to do his breathing exercises again, control his anger. He'd had time to get used to the news, to what the doctors thought. Dana didn't have that luxury. 'They thought I'd raped him. And that he tried to kill himself.'
There was a silence on the other end, and Carlos figured that Dana was finding the idea a little difficult to make sense of. He couldn't stand the silence, and suggestion – though ludicrous, made him feel guilty. Like there was something wrong with him, like it was his fault something like this had happened to Cecil. So he did the only thing he could think to do, and talked through the silence.
'They asked me for, uhm, for a specimen, and tested it. And it wasn't a match for…' Carlos had to swallow the scream that threatened to rise from his throat every time he even thought about it. 'For what they did find,' he finished in one breath.
Dana was silent for a moment more, before speaking up, voice cracking. 'So they did find – he was –'
'Yes,' Carlos answered. He heard a retching noise and closed his eyes, pretending he was anywhere else, having any other conversation with anybody else. Just that he wasn't here, and that this wasn't real.
'Oh, God,' Dana said, and she gave up the pretense that she wasn't crying. 'Who –'
'They don't know,' Carlos answered. 'Just that he's… that he's… unwell. They've taken him to a mental hospital,' he let Dana's sobs fill up the space in between them. When she quieted a bit, he spoke up again. 'They want me to visit him, see if I can't break him out of…whatever this is he's gotten himself into. But I just… I don't know if I can. I don't know that I'm strong enough to do that.'
'It didn't last very long,' Cecil assured him about Steve Carlsberg, as Carlos attempted to school his face into something a little less panic-stricken. 'I think he's still a little sore about it, though. He's been grumpy ever since.'
'So do you, ah,' Carlos cleared his throat. 'Just have a thing for scientists or something?'
Cecil tilted his head. 'Well, I quite like science, although I'm not very good at it. Too much math involved, really. I just happen to have met a lot of really passionate scientists. Passion is sort of an important factor in a relationship, after all,' Carlos hummed in agreement, trying not to compare himself to Steve so much. 'But Earl wasn't a scientist. Come to think of it, I don't even know what happened to Earl. Maybe he's been kidnapped by a pack of rabid boy scouts or something,' Cecil suggested, voice deadly serious. Carlos couldn't hold back his laughter, though he often tried whenever Cecil's voice took on that melodramatic, radio-announcer tone. It had become a game with them – Carlos trying to remain calm, and Cecil trying everything in his power to shake the façade.
Carlos was still sitting in his car, staring at the building ahead of him. The car was turned off and his seatbelt was unbuckled, but he still felt like he couldn't move. He knew it was just a fantasy, just a ridiculous dream that he could turn around now and have things be the same as they were nearly a month ago. That he could go home and Cecil would be waiting for him, feeding the stray cat that sometimes slept on their couch. That they could watch another X-Files marathon on the Syfy channel, make out for a while and fall asleep on the uncomfortable couch because they kept forgetting that they weren't teenagers anymore.
He managed to force his hand up, to unlock the door and step out of the car, to start walking to front of the building, but he couldn't remember actually doing any of it. He felt like he was floating, like his actions were being controlled by somebody else or like he was being wheeled into the hospital and having an out-of-body experience. It felt unreal, even as he signed the visitor forms and received his My Name Is sticker.
He was about to turn and find a seat in the stark waiting room when the desk clerk, a kindly older woman, called his name. He looked up to her, blinking slowly. 'You're here to see Cecil, correct?' she asked.
Carlos nodded. 'Have you spoken to the patients here?'
'Oh, yes, of course,' she said. 'Cecil is such a sweetheart. He's one of our calmer patients. He mostly just sits in his room and does his radio broadcast.' Carlos blinked in confusion. 'Oh, not a real broadcast, of course,' she tittered. 'But he seems to think he's reaching quite an audience, giving community bulletins and sports updates. He skips over the weather, though – he usually sings that bit, instead of actually reporting it.'
Carlos wasn't sure what to say to this, so he just nodded and found a seat. The room was empty except for him, but he knew there had to be other people at this hospital. So where were their parents, their loved ones?
'Carlos,' a voice boomed, and Dr Steven Carlsberg followed it. 'It's been so long,' Steve greeted, shaking Carlos's hand. Steve's hand looked as though it might have been warm, but even the palm of his hand was like ice. The stark contrast was enough to completely wake Carlos up. 'How have you been doing?' Steve asked.
'Well, you know,' Carlos nodded to the door. He'd never been very good with words, but he hadn't thought they'd be required in this sort of a situation. After all, his boyfriend of five years was currently sitting, straight-jacketed, in a rubber room. (Or so Carlos imagined – he'd never been in a mental hospital before, and had done everything in his power to avoid going near them. It wasn't that the people within them scared him, so much as the very thought made him sad. He'd wanted to be a psychology student at one point in his life, and had nearly memorized the entire DSMIV. With every symptom mentioned, he felt himself sinking lower and lower into an overwhelming feeling of doom.)
Steve merely nodded and dropped Carlos's hand. 'Surprised to see you two are still together,' he goaded, but Carlos avoided the bait. He wasn't here for a pissing contest, and the last thing he needed was to get on the bad side of a man who stood between him and Cecil. 'You get the 4-1-1 from Old Woman Josie over there?'
Carlos looked to the desk clerk, and then back to Steve.
'That's what Cecil calls her – Old Woman Josie. Wait 'til you hear his show – you'll get a kick out of it.' Carlos tried not to let Steve's nonchalant attitude get to him, but it was quickly becoming grating. There was looking on the bright side of things, and then there was making light of a bad situation.
'Can I see him?' Carlos asked through gritted teeth. And if you say, "I dunno, can you?" I will punch you so hard your front teeth will fall out, you sick bastard, he thought. But Steve only nodded and waved for Carlos to follow him through a locked door.

Not happy with profile. Would a chin implant help make my jawline more defined? Could I just do neck/jawline lipo? (Photo)
I'm not very satisfied with my profile. I was just wondering if there was a way that I could get my jawline a little more defined. Would a chin implant help? I feel that my neck and jawline are almost the same width so the jawline becomes hard to see. I'm a naturally thin person but in many pictures/situations it appears I have a double chin, especially when I turn my head. Could i just do neck/jawline liposuction? Also, I do have TMJ, so would that interfere? Thanks.
Doctor Answers 10
Chin implant to improve profile
Your photo suggests you will have a good result from a chin implant. A liposuction can be done as well if examination shows there is excess fat to remove. If you are thin, there may not be.
Have a question? Ask a doctor
Chin surgery
You would definitely improve your profile with either a chin implant or an advancement genioplasty. Neither one should affect your TMJ if done by a well trained surgeon. You could not obtain the result you want with neck lipo alone. Good luck. Donald R. Nunn MD,DDS Atlanta Plastic Surgeon
Chin Implant
You would have a much more balanced face and improved profile with a chin implant. It does no look like there is much neck fat and liposuction in that case can cause some difficult to correct deformities so be careful on that.

Female Chin Implant
You would do well with a chin implant and jawline liposuction. Make sure your chin implant is more of a central type so that it does not look too wide in the frontal view. Women should have more of a triangular chin shape in the front view.
Web reference: http://www.eppleyplasticsurgery.com
Not Satisfied with Facial Profile
I frequently have patients ask the same question. I recommend that you have a chin-jowl implant combined with liposuction under the chin and below your jawline.
Benefits of Chin Implants
You look as though you would certainly benefit from a chin implant.

Chin implants will;
- Make a weak chin look stronger.
- Make a neck with a rounded look become more defined and angular.

Chin implant and neck liposuction for jawline definition
The Photographs demonstrate fatty deposits in the neck and a weak chin profile. The combination of a chin implant with sub mental liposuction would give better facial balance and are complementary to each other. Both procedures could be performed under local or general anesthesia, as an outpatient surgical procedure. For many examples of this combination, please see the link below

You would benefit from lowering and advancing your chin and contouring your neck. Ideally, you should have a sliding genioplasty and submental lipectomy through an open technique. While an implant and suctioning the fat could benefit you, moving your chin bone forward and down will allow more versatility and greater success. Open neck contouring through about an inch incision under the chin may allow removing the fat from under the muscles that may not be possible or easy with suctioning. This is not to say that using a chin implant is a mistake.

You absolutely would benefit from a chin implant. If you place your finger from your lip down, your chin should almost touch your finger. Yours is fairly far behind. A chin implant would project the chin forward and balance the lower half of your face.

YOu are the kind of person that a chin implant is made for, maybe with a little suction of your neck. TMJ shouldn't be an issue one way or the other. It will probably be unaffected. You will look great.
