What Happened to My Breasts? A Plastic Surgeon Explains

Dr. Haideh Hirmand on how — and why — your décolletage changes over time
For a long time, in my 20s and 30s, I never took the issue of the "changing breast" seriously. I mean, after all, how bad could it be? They're breasts. Something's always covering them. In fact, I never gave the issue much thought until 1) I started entering my 40s and experiencing some of the changes, and 2) I started my practice in plastic surgery and met many women whose lives were affected by this particular phenomenon. So what happens?
Typically, with time and age, the skin of the breast, much like other skin, loses elasticity and is more prone to stretching and sagging. The breast tissue itself also can thin and involute, causing an emptied-out appearance – especially in the center top part of the breast.
Of course, this does not happen to everyone. Some women experience enlarging of the breasts later in life, which can be due to changing hormones or taking hormonal supplements. Pregnancy has one of the biggest impacts on changes in your breasts' shape and size. Other "breast changers" include hormonal shifts from menopause and weight fluctuations, which are both common in women in their 40s and 50s. Now that the 50s are the new 40s and the 40s the new 30s, I see more women than ever who want to restore their breasts to their original state — or to a better one.
Breasts, unlike any other organ, are not only defined by their anatomic and functional definitions; they play a pivotal role in both our own femininity and the way our culture defines physical womanhood. That's why breast reconstruction has had such a vastly positive impact on the lives of women with breast cancer. Let's face it: breasts – their shape, size and sensation — play an integral role in how women define themselves as women. And the relationship between women and their breasts has always fascinated me.
Without a doubt, we are currently experiencing a cultural shift toward the classically full feminine breast shape. I believe this is motivated not by the fashion industry, but by real American women who are feeling more comfortable than ever with this breast-feminine dialogue. In the past, I had patients who wanted to be more flat-chested to fit into the haute couture clothing that was their fashion staple. These were not huge-breasted women who wanted to have a breast reduction to be more comfortable doing sports or living everyday life free of back and shoulder pain. Rarely do I see this these days. Cleavage is in!
I see it in my practice. Compared to ten years ago, more women in their 40s want breast enhancement surgery. I also see more women who, after having had their pregnancies, seek to restore their breasts' shape so that they can fit better in clothes and feel better about themselves.
I see more acceptance on runway shows as well. Diane von Furstenberg's feminine runway style is in stark contrast to the androgynous overtone of so many high-fashion productions. Last time I saw her show, I was struck by the curves, cleavage and pure feminine quality of her expression — and it is more popular than ever.
Many women whose breasts have significantly changed express a consistent theme of having "lost an integral part of their physique that made them feel whole as a woman." They didn't know it until it was lost. These are not topless dancers or those who have to to rely on their appearance to win a date. These are intelligent women who are a powerful part of the workforce, and in many instances run companies, own businesses, are in academics and in politics.
The theme is the same. They look to restore and enhance their breast aesthetics, not out of a desire for youth, but for one of female vitality. No doubt the "fitness, live longer and be more active" trend of our times has something to do with this — as does the ability to live a psychologically and sexually viable and successful life in midlife and beyond menopause.
What a fantastic time to be a woman!
Dr. Haideh Hirmand is a plastic surgeon, academic and thought leader in the aesthetic and beauty arenas. She completed her doctorate in medicine at Harvard and is clinical assistant professor of surgery at the The New York Hospital/Cornell-Weill Medical Center. She specializes in eyelid and facial rejuvenation, secondary breast surgery, and body contouring, and is recognized nationally as a pioneer in injection techniques.

Breasts, Boobs, Sweater Puppies, The Girls, Ta Ta's – whatever you call 'em, I have 'em in abundance…..which was workable in my 20′s and 30′s but at some point they started the long slow trip south and now, without the help of some industrial strength bras, I can tuck them into the waist of my pants. (no Joke) I've toyed with the idea of Breast Reduction….but, you know, I'm kinda attached to them. I don't want them bigger or smaller, I just want them back on my chest where they started.
Jane H says:
Oh Tobe…. I had the same appendages as you…. I had them reduced and have not regretted it once. Of course, having developed at an early age, I was an oddity among all the other less-feveloped girls and had boys riding by my house on their Stingray bicycles to see if I'd come out and flash them. It was pretty traumatic, so maybe that's why I didn't mind trading my double Fs for generous Bs!! ha!

COLUMBIA — With a following as devoted as that of the football team, the hot dog stand outside Quinton's and Field House won't be going anywhere anytime soon.
The scene is classic: a black and yellow striped umbrella covers the shiny silver cart, decked out with various condiments including ketchup, hot sauce, mustard, the works. A bold-faced "Mizzou" sign on both sides of the cart shows their loyalty to the university.
Tim Mallory, 46, and wife Beth, 45, have run the hot dog stand every weekend for the past year. The couple started off outside the Roots 'N Blues 'N BBQ Festival last year and because of its popularity, a local favorite was born.
The couple moved here from Palm Beach, Fla., where Tim Mallory ran a Jeep dealership for 14 years. He retired about two years ago when the auto industry began to struggle and moved to Columbia to be near family.
Prior to running the cart, Tim Mallory bought and sold items online, including the $4,000 hot dog cart, through online retail sites such as eBay and Craigslist. They bought the cart and, at a niece's suggestion, set up in downtown with the hot dogs.
As an after-bar stop, the hot dog stand holds its own against popular late-night eateries such as The Broadway Diner and El Rancho by bringing originality to the table.
Although newer to the scene, the hot dog stand rings of classic hot dog vendors so much one can almost smell the roasted peanuts of the ballpark mingling with the smoky scent of charcoal.
First-time buyers Brent Ebl, 24, and girlfriend Maria Figueroa, 26, found the hot dog idea original and a benefit to Columbia.
"It's very classic in a lot of upscale, bigger cities," Ebl said. "They always have these on pretty much every other corner and Columbia has finally got their first so it's really different."
They were on their way to Quinton's before making the stop. Ebl introduced himself to Tim Mallory while buying a hot dog and thought the vendor's friendliness added to the experience.
"He just has that vibe where you click right away," Ebl said. "It's not so much a polarized you hate him or you love him. He's just got that really good vibe where he comes off as a really nice guy to everybody."
Along with good customer service, Tim Mallory devotes a lot of time to the stand and its success.
The couple has been married for 25 years and has two daughters, which are 15 and 19 years-old.
Tim Mallory sets up outside Field House on Wednesday and stays outside Quinton's Thursday through Saturday every week. He gets to the corner about 9 p.m. and is set up and ready to serve by 9:30 p.m.
Business stays steady until midnight, but it is "controlled chaos" between 12:30 and 2 a.m., he said. Beth Mallory usually comes to help run the stand on Friday night and works in the lunchroom at Rock Bridge High School during the day.
"About one o'clock in the morning, there's people jumping up and down, can't wait," Tim Mallory said.
Customers can buy a regular hot dog with everything on it for $3, and $4 buys a quarter-pound Nathan's hot dog, a well-known New York brand. There is no additional charge for chili or cheese sauce, and customers can help themselves to condiments.
But students and bar-goers are not the only fans of the juicy franks. They have people coming out in their pajamas or making the drive specifically for the hot dogs.
"The people downtown love us, we have quite a following," Tim Mallory said. "We have a lot of older couples who come out … just to get our food. We've been accepted pretty well."
A Quinton's bouncer told the couple about how on Labor Day, one of the few holidays the couple takes off, a girl came out of the bar and, upon not seeing the hot dog stand, dropped to her knees and started bawling because she'd been waiting all night for a hot dog.
The couple have also seen fights break out on the sidewalk outside the bar, gotten requests to throw the hot dogs up to the Sky Bar atop Quinton's and witnessed a customer devouring seven hot dogs on the spot.
Since the football season began, they have seen a boom in business on home game days.
"Game days are great," Tim Mallory said. "We do a lot more business earlier in the evening on game days because they've all been partying all day. We don't get quite as much of a rush at 1 o'clock as we do at 8, 9 and 10 p.m."
An avid sports fan himself, Tim enjoys football and golf. His step-father is a professional golfer and passed down his love for the game. During the day he does stock market trading from home and prepares for the night ahead.
"I think the fun thing is that it's keeping Tim and I younger," Beth Mallory said. "We never did the bar scenes to begin with, but we like being around the young people."
The couple is always friendly toward their customers and try to give back where they can. At the end of the night, they give the leftovers to the workers of both Quinton's and Field House, along with many homeless people in the downtown area.
Although they repeatedly donate leftovers, people have stolen quite a few items from the stand over the past year, including the expensive sign the couple bought, an endless number of condiments and the two business permits needed to run the stand.
Despite these setbacks, the couple remains committed to serving their late-night customers. Beth Mallory said this commitment makes them stand out from the other street vendors in town. Committed customers and the positive response from the community makes it all worth it, she said.
"They love us and we love them," Beth Mallory said.

2005 Chrysler Crossfire
Chrysler tries,but can't equal a real Mercedes
Pros: Sporty look and agility
Cons: Poor warranty coverage and service
Between the poor service/warranty and Chryslers' lack of support,I would have avoided this vehicle.Check the rear wheel tilt-acceptable is +/- 1.5).Mine was at 1.2(with-in tolerance:so they say) and the vehicle ate tires every 10K miles.Once a year,you will need to spend about $800 for a new set.Oil changes will tag you for $100+ and God forbid ,you have a radiator leak,you will need to replace the $146 cabin filter.If you have gobs of money to toss about frivolously,this could be your vehicle.Sound system was very good,but didn't compensate for the problems occuring after purchase.Chrsler is very good at putting off warranty work until after it has expired.Don't expect an 'olive branch' when trying to get them to cover anything-much like pulling your own teeth.- Recommend this vehicle to a friend? No
- How long have you owned this vehicle? 4 years
2004 Chrysler Crossfire
- Recommend this vehicle to a friend? Yes
- How long have you owned this vehicle? 2 years
2008 Chrysler Crossfire
This is an evening auto for pleasure driving.
Pros: car design
Cons: backing up
People love to hate & this auto gives them reason to they are green with envy. When I drive this auto I pop my buttons I'm so deliriously happy.- Recommend this vehicle to a friend? Yes
- How long have you owned this vehicle? 2 years
2005 Chrysler Crossfire - Limited Coupe

Cons: I like everything.
Advice: Buy one and you will love it.
Beautiful design, great handling, good performance and gas milage, very reliable, goes in the snow, quality interior, unique car and rare. This car makes me smile when I drive it. -
2005 Chrysler Crossfire - Limited Coupe
Pros: unique looks. not another clone on the road.
Cons: tiny radio dials.
Advice: its a sports car. expect limited visability & a rough ride, but get one anyway.
just picked up my new 05 crossfire limited with GPS, for the amazing price of $ 20,500.00. this is less then the price of a stratus. the car looks & handles excellent. -
2005 Chrysler Crossfire - Base Coupe
Pros: Styling, inviting personal space for two with high fun to drive quotient
Cons: Poor rearward visibility and fairly rough ride on broken roads.
Advice: Take an extended test drive - you'll love it.
I've had my 2005 Crossfire Ltd for two months. The Crossfire is a unique, standout sports car. The six speed brings the best out of the superb engine. You'll love the sound of the motor as it revs above 3,000 and the way it flies through corners is astounding. The stereo is fantastic. Caution - drivers must get mirrors adjusted correctly and be comfortable using them versus shoulder checking - critical because of large blindspots from c-pillars. -
2005 Chrysler Crossfire - Limited Roadster
Pros: Styling
Cons: cup holder
Advice: Negotiate a good price
I just love every minute driving this car. It's fun to drive.

Answer from: jazzyroxx123
You have 2 become his best friend.. duh!!
Answer from: i <3 leo howard
Yeah first you have to become friends with them and if you see him/her talking to someone else get into their conversation and if youre good enough friends they might be talking about that certain person having a crush on you
Answer from: Mattie Hugz
I don't think you will become proper boyfriend/girlfriend, but by becoming best friends, they might give you their picture which you can gaze at forever... here are best bud tips: Send mail to them every day, preferably with a present. Remember to wave and talk to them. to wave, go a couple of meters away and tap the person. always say nice things, i.e. the top one, even if you see a flying present or gulivers spacship or another animal comes up to you, show that you are always commited. If they ask for a favour, remember to do it, post their mail, deliver their presents, be at their birthday and if you say they can come to your house do not stand them up. Good luck with your sweetheart!
Answer from: steven...
And most importantly, don't hit them with a net...
Answer from: jamie anne brid
Dont open mail to other folk and dont keep walking into them they will get angry
Answer from: MegsTheNewVlogg
You can't be a real couple but they can give you their picture, they will give you presents more often and when you do stuff for them they give you more cash. Here are some tips:
1. If you are femail (I don't know if this works on wild world though...) the nerdy blue duck tends to like you.
2. If you are male any of the girl girls like you.
3. DO NOT push them, hit them with a net, hit them with a shovel, stand them up at home, take up contests that you cannot win or open letters and presents that they ask you to diliver.
4. DO deliver stuff for them, talk to them at lest 3 times a day, send them letters at least 1 time a day (with frit in because then you may get a unusual friut back), be nice to them, butt into their convos.
Hope that helped, MegsTheNewVlogger :D
Answer from: Madi
Yes it is possible. Matter of fact just two days ago on Animal Crossing Wild world, Wolfgang asked me out and then a box came up saying: Heck yes or Ewww no!
Answer from: StarLina
You cant actually get them to date you but they can like you. Just get into their conversations and if it says somthing like one of them has something to say to you then they like you. Inever actually tried this but i heard that you can get a baby by liking a person and send mails talk to them everyday and male-send tuxedo female- send wedding dress. then when they have it on for display talk to them in a tux for male or dress for female and keep talking to then ALOT.
Answer from: jake
I heard that you call them my love or boyfriend/girlfriend basicly of the right sex or if your a kid and made a joke about it(unmature people too)gender or send letters with red roses HAVE TO BE RED! or stand up for them in a convers hope it helps!=D
Answer from: smiley girl :D
On Yay day when they ask you to say something nice about them say boyfriend/girlfriend (depends wether you're a boy or a girl) and they should say 'oh I never knew you thought of me this way before.' Also send them ref roses in the mail. ONLY red roses will work! Hope this helped!

Don't ask him whether he'll be Mitt Romney's choice for Republican vice-presidential nominee. Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida said Sunday he wouldn't talk about the VP sweepstakes.
But Mr. Rubio, in an appearance on a Sunday talk show, then proceeded to lay out his qualifications to serve in the Senate—the job he already holds. People, he said, "can take from that what they want."
Mr. Rubio described his experience in state and local government, culminating in his election to the Senate in 2010.
"I certainly am not the most experienced person in Washington, D.C.," Mr. Rubio told Fox News Sunday. "But by the same token, I certainly have experience serving in government and particularly in the legislative branch in one of the largest states and more complex states in the country, in terms of public policy."
"And the good news is that every day that goes by, I gain more experience on these things," he added.
For those who believe Washington experience can be too much of a good thing, Mr. Rubio said, "There is a point of diminishing return on Washington experience. And what I've learned about Washington is that sometimes, if you're there too long, you start to believe that certain things are no longer possible. If you're there too long, you start to become like the way the president has become—divisive, cynical, given to hyperbole on these issues."

I thought I would post an entry up here asking for your advice. I am working on fleshing out content for the the next tour and based on your feedback and previous comments - you want to actively participate in helping us shape the content. My question to you is along the lines of the title... "Have you or do you work in or support a Branch Office?"
I have designed branch office solutions in my previous life and didn't have the toolsets available to IT Pros now with BITS transfer, Patching, RPC over HTTPS and Mobile devices... It was something that was easy enough, but no clear documentation or guidance on how to architect something up to meet the varying requirements. The Branch Office Guide helped from a Active Directory perspective, but nothing existed for other criteria like when to centralize Exchange vs having branch office Exchange Servers or how do you manage Site to Site VPNs instead of leased lines...
I am asking YOU what you think of the subject. If the TechNet team is coming to town in the fall with Branch Office solutions using the R2 (both Server 2003 R2 and SBS 2003 R2) and other complimentary technologies - what would you specifically like to know more about? What situations have you faced and how have you solved them?
Say your piece - comment here or click on the "Got a Question" logo on the side. I am really interested to hear what you have to say and I will personally respond (as I do anyways :) ) to each comment or email I receive. Heck - I might even post a top 10 list with prizes if I get enough feedback.
It seems that that's all I do lately. The bane of my existence. Especially when "they" want to take what was once just a "remote" [their words] and turn into a "fully functional" branch office with the existing equipment/apps. Any tips/tricks you would demonstrate would be welcome.
one free tool that made my life a LOT easier for supporting remote users/office is UltraVNC (http://ultravnc.sourceforge.net/) combined with their SingleClick remote connect (http://ultravnc.sourceforge.net/addons/singleclick.html) With that, I publish a SingleClick exe on my web server and whenever someone need support, I send them the url "http://www.mycompany.com/support.exe" all they have to do is to execute and double click on my name in the list. With that configuration there is no messing with firewall config at the client/remote office, if they use simple consumer firewall that does not block outgoing connections. It also improve security as it is the remote user that initiate the connection, I can not connect to them by myself and they can kick me whenever they want. The only firewall config is on my side where I need to forward a single port to my computer. which I can easily manage. Since I started using that tool a few years ago, I no longer go through painful phone conversation asking them to describe what they are seeing on the screen (in their own terms... you know, the tv, the hard drive, the foot pedal...) I know there are other tools, but this one is free, simple and "it just works" I even created a sincleclick exe for home to support family and friends ! (and it works with dynamic dns !)
Yes, I would definitely come to this. However, while the technologies in R2 are great and I would like to know how to implement them in this type of setup, I'd also like to hear a bit about dealing with very small (5 users or so) offices that don't have requirements for a server but need access to our head office resources.

The American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees has scheduled a strike vote for the University of California hospital employees it represents.
AFSCME Local 3299 said in a press release that it will hold the vote for three days starting April 30.
The union's 13,000, patient care assistants, vocational nurses and radiology technicians and other hospital staff at the UC's five medical centers have been without a contract since October.
With talks at a standstill, the union released a report earlier this year that claimed the UC hospital system has sacrificed patient care for money, recklessly run up debt and enriches administrators while understaffing front-line care positions. University system officials dismissed the charges as a bargaining ploy.

Governor Jerry Brown recently signed into law Assembly Bill 1964, the Workplace Religious Freedom Act of 2012. Set to take effect on January 1, 2013, AB 1964 clarifies existing law pertaining to religious discrimination and serves to underscore the marked difference between federal and state law. Indeed, for those California employers who have adhered to federal law (usually at the direction of a corporate headquarters located outside of California), this new legislation could have a significant impact.
Similar to federal law embodied by Title VII or the Civil Rights Act of 1964, California's Fair Employment Housing Act (FEHA) has long prohibited employers from discriminating or retaliating against employees and job applicants based on the number of factors, including religious creed. Indeed, with respect to religion, FEHA defines "religious belief or observance" as including, but not limited to, observance on a Sabbath or other religious holy day and reasonable time necessary to travel. Other religious beliefs or observances, such as religious clothing and grooming, were implicitly protected.

DMK president M. Karunanidhi on Friday urged Chief Minister Jayalalithaa to pay heed to the demands of the farmers in the delta region and make announcement about full-fledged relief in the coming budget.
Nothing is known
In a statement here, he said it was decided to send a team to study the crop failure in non-Delta district, nothing was known about it so far.
He said while the government had announced Rs. 15,000 per acre to farmers who had suffered more than 50 per cent loss, the fate of other farmers hanged in balance.
"There is no word about the demand for Rs. 10 lakh relief to the families of farmers who have committed suicide and job for their family members. The government is yet to respond to a demand for reassessing the crop loss," he said.

From the Publisher
"Cumbia has mattered, matters, and will most likely continue to matter for the multitudes who create it, listen and dance to it, and debate it almost as a way of life. This collection is both a sonic roadmap and testimony to the imagination of people across the Americas as they make some sense of their many worlds through music."—Jairo Moreno, author of Musical Representations, Subjects, and Objects
"This is a significant, comprehensive, and timely collection of essays. As the essays demonstrate, cumbia is probably the most widespread rhythm in the Americas. Yet, until now, its travels and transformations have not received systematic attention, taking into account the complexities of the genre's roots in northern coastal Colombia and its subsequent routes into Mexico, Peru, Argentina, and the United States. Cumbia! fills a crucial gap in the literature on Latin/o American popular music."—George Yúdice, author of The Expediency of Culture: Uses of Culture in the Global Era


text: No recent wiki edits to this page. Frew Publications is the first publisher of comics in Australia, starting in 1948 they continue publishing today. Their first publication was reprints of the American newspaper strips of The Phantom, however they soon got permission to produce independent stories about the character written and drawn by Australians. This comic has been published non-stop bi-weekly since then, and now numbers over 1500 issues. Early in their history they also published other comics such as The Phantom Rider, Mandrake the Magician, The Shadow (not the American character but an Australian one), and others, however by the end of the 50's, as comics from outside Australia, and other Australian comic companies started to show up they dropped those and specialized in publishing The Phantom.

Similar Items:This embodiment of acoustic blues sound is an exact replica of Lee Parnell's original.
The Gibson 1937 L-00 Acoustic Guitar is a meticulous remake with a solid Adirondack spruce top and premium mahogany back and sides. In the late 1920s, the small-bodied Gibson L-00 guitar won enduring popularity for its sassy style and bluesy sound.
Gibson equips the 1937 L-00 remake with nickel Grover tuners for vintage authenticity, a bone nut and saddle, and rosewood bridge and fingerboard. The bracing offers an exact replica of Gibson's 1930s bracing dimensions, down to the saw-blade marks. The modern L-00 guitar's neck is also an exact replica of Gibson's 1937 large "V" neck.

Comments about Gibson 1937 L-00 Acoustic Guitar:
I love the L00 legend from the first moment I had it in my hands.At first,I thought the neck would be too thick for my small to medium size hands, but this is not the case at all.In fact,the neck feels great with amazing craftsmanship,and now I want nothing less.The L00 convienced me, that rosewood surpasses ebony for the fretboard.The guitar is much lighter and more responsive than the Collings C10 I once owned.The L00 Legend's sound is one of the best of the many new guitars I have tried and owned.It just feels right,and I can highly recommend it to anyone in the market for a high end small guitar.
Comments about Gibson 1937 L-00 Acoustic Guitar:
Okay so one of my bud's bought this thing for its Vintage Appeal...I have a 1932 K-11 Kalamazoo and this thing doesn't touch it. The Kalamazoo is like a gift from God to a blues player; slide and everything, but this thing is like a Sheryl Crow pop stars acoustic....I know Kalamazoos are hard to find but come on Gibson, you can do WAY better
Comments about Gibson 1937 L-00 Acoustic Guitar:
I decided on the Legend Series 1937 L-00 after trying several small-bodied guitars considered ideal for playing country and delta blues(the RJ signature, the Blues King, luthier-made copies of the L-00 and L-1, Stellas and luthier-made copies of Stellas, etc.), and this guitar came the closest to nailing the vintage tone I was looking for: thumpy bass, rich mids, singing highs, but with an uncomplicated tone and a quick decay. In a pinch, I have sold every other guitar I've ever owned, but this one will be in my estate at my death (or maybe buried along with me). That said, as great a guitar as it is, I do think it's way overpriced. Who cares that the tool marks are the same as on Lee Roy Parnell's guitar? Why must Gibson scour the finish to impart an "antique" look? I can make my own dings and scratches, thank you.

I'm Not Going Anywhere - Howe
Eddie Howe has declared that he's not going anywhere as he takes the Cherries in to League One. With mouth watering League fixtures against the likes of Southampton, Sheffield Wednesday, and possibly Charlton Athletic, plus the 'usual suspects' in the form of Bristol Rovers, Brighton & Hove Albion, Exeter City, Brentford bringing large crowds back to Dean Court, managare Eddie Howe has declared that he's not going anywhere for the 2010/2011 season. The ever popular manager is quoted in the Bournemouth Evening Echo as saying: "I will be here next season. I think it's exciting times for the club and for everybody, and I want to be a part of that. I'm already excited about next season and trying to compete with the teams that are in League One. As soon as we knew for a fact that League One was where we were going to be, we started preparing for that. We're already preparing for pre-season and getting things in place that we want, so the planning process starts now, which I think it has to because it's a tough league and a big step up, so we need to be ready for it. You plan short-term – from week to week and game to game. But there always has to be a long-term aim in the background and you have to work to that. Year on year, we want to try to improve. I think the core group of players is very strong and we will want to keep them together and maybe try to add a couple to that core group. Hopefully, we will have enough to compete in the league".

Glucose (a type of sugar) is the body's main energy source. But when the body can't use glucose for fuel - like when a person has untreated diabetes - the body breaks down fat for energy instead. When fat is broken down, the body produces chemicals called ketones, which appear in the blood and urine. High levels of ketones cause the blood to become more acidic. This is known as ketoacidosis (it's called diabetic ketoacidosis, or DKA, when uncontrolled diabetes is the cause).
Ketoacidosis is a severe life-threatening condition requiring immediate treatment. Symptoms of ketoacidosis include nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, rapid breathing, and, in severe cases, unconsciousness.

i would be curious to know if the diamond in question now does in fact weigh 1.66 cts. it wouldn''t be conclusive proof but it is something of a marker. also if the previous paperwork had specs on the mm measurements of the round i would check that. if it matches dead on there''s a good chance it''s the same stone i think...
If you have an old plot of the inclusions, that would be the easiest way to identify. The dims and weight might help but it''s possible they had something the same size/weight to make a swap. Did they do inscriptions back then?
Outside the "bad" appraisal, what makes you feel the stone was switched? Any particular characteristics? Less fire? This will be hard to prove but I''ve heard of it happening before. Of course hindsight is 20/20 but this is one of the reasons many people prefer to use independent appraisers vs. jewelry stores. |
My mom actually had her stone switched once a few years back. It was my great-grandmother''s ring and has a lot of sentimental value. Since it is also a large stone (3.5+ct), my mom started carrying a loupe and the inclusion plot with her. After so many years of getting it checked twice a year she is used to pulling out the loupe and confirming the stone is hers before she signs any papers.
When the stone was switched she was in a small store in a mall. They were shocked that she could tell. She immediately called a manager over and they fixed everything. The employees claimed it had been a mixup while replacing two of the prongs. |
Okay...let's back up a little here. Was the diamond weighed, measured and graded loose when you originally
purchased it in 1991? Or was the diamond in the mounting and then graded by an independent appraiser? Did the appraiser have a working relationship with the seller or was the appraiser totally independent? The fact that your original appraisal has a split grade indicates to me that the diamond was graded "in the mounting." An appraiser will usually not "split" a grade if the diamond is loose. Diamond "switching" at any level is practically non-existent. It's an easy way to ruin a reputation and possibly find yourself in jail. It's just not worth it. I would, at this point in time, have the ring appraised by an "independent" qualified appraiser. If you wish, the diamond should be taken out of the mounting, then weighed, measured and graded. You'll eventually get to the bottom of the situation. But don't conclude that your diamond was switched until you have all the facts. Keep us informed, please.

I know you guys keep saying this, but it happened to me, and there''s other posts on here about this type of thing as well. I''m not saying it happens a lot, but you honest guys (and I mean that sincerely) give some of the jewelers out there way too much credit, imho. Also, what I tend to give some credit to is the fact that she''s had the diamond for 16 years, and feels it''s not hers. I would kinda think after all that time, she''d know what her diamond looks like. But I could be wrong. |
I wouldn''t accuse someone of switching my diamond on a "feeling". I''d want some proof. Really if she has the original plot showing the inclusions, then she can go back and loupe it and be certain if the stone is hers or not. If it has the inscription, the job becomes even easier. |
I'm with Jeff. I hear tales of stone switching on a near daily basis and, when we dig into it, it's almost never supported. It happens, but it's a tiny percentage of the number of times that people think it happens. The problem is both a fear of repair jewelers and an inherent optimism about original sellers. For example, the assumption being made here is that the original stone was a 1.66ct. VVS2/VS1, F/G. I call this an assumption because the source is a statement by the original seller and an 'independent' who was working on his behalf. There seems to be no dispute at all about whether it's a diamond, the weight or the clarity. The only item in question is color. Is it G, J, or something else entirely? One of the other key assumptions being made is that the all of these graders are correct and that therefore the stone must have been switched. Unfortunately, this too is suspect. As far as I can tell, so far none of the 6 graders is a credible source because we lack sufficient information to make that call. The default answer is NO and just because they work in or own a jewelry store doesn't change that. Did any of them have any training at this? Was it graded mounted or loose? Did they use diamond masters, a colorimeter or just guess? Was it in a controlled environment? Did they even clean the stone first? They may be right, I don't know, but a poll of workers at a jewelry store isn't any more a sensible way to have a stone graded than to blindly accept the word of a seller from 17 years ago as accurate. Appraise the appraisers and, if they are found wanting, don't rely on their opinion. I'm going to take the Writing's word that she knows her diamond well enough to recognize that it's now different and I'll give some advice in a few minutes about that but this is not sufficient evidence for a criminal charge (which is what this is) or even an insurance claim with most companies. There's simply not sufficient evidence of a loss occurring at all. It's her word against theirs. Most appraisal sessions involve a professional cleaning and this can make the stone look VERY different. It's quite common for people to not recognize it and, if the value conclusion is lower it's common for them to assume that the stone has been switched. If the value given is higher they rarely have a problem with it. The most likely scenario is that the original jeweler simply overgraded it when it was sold in the first place and it took 17 years before she got around to getting it appraised. Another likely issue is that the second and subsequent graders didn't clean the stone correctly and they are simply misgrading the color. We just don't know. Working, I'm sorry to be harsh in the above paragraphs. Your position is difficult. *IF* it has been switched, you need to get some better evidence than what you have told us. The original appraiser may be some help but most don't keep files for 17 years and often there wouldn't be much there anyway that not in your report. Did the first appraisal that the seller got for you include a plotting, dimensions, photographs, fluorescence, girdle description or anything else that can be used to match to the report to the stone? If the stone was switched, the prongs will need to have been worked on and there will be tool marks and similar evidence of that work. An independent appraiser should be able to assist in inspecting the piece for this sort of thing. Assuming you can collect some decent evidence about the prior condition, you may have a small claims case against the jeweler but the key to this is going to be your paperwork. The key items will be the original appraisal, the original sales receipt, the appraisal report and any other paperwork provided by the jeweler and the report from your independent. Even with bulletproof documents you won't have a criminal case because it's unknown what happened in the intervening 17 years and I think your chances of civil action are slim but you may be able to build build enough to support an insurance claim, especially if you've had insurance from the same company for the entire 17 years.

So all you had done was an appraisal, nothing more (setting seitched) that would make the diamond appear different to your eyes? I would think that you would know your diamond after 16 years of owning it, but I am not so sure that I would be so quick to accuse a jeweler of switching the stone. I think that your best bet here is if you have a prior report and/or plot of this stone that you could compare to...then I would get an independent appraisal and see what happens. Was the stone originally weighed unmounted? If so, I would have it unmounted and re-weighed.
Don''t most of the diamond switching issues arrise with the diamond being switched with a CZ? I don''t think I''ve heard one with the diamond being replaced with another diamond.
If it had been switched out for a lower color stone, I don''t think the monitary gain would be enough to make it worth it. It sounds more like conflicting appraisals. Try a real independant appraiser and get the whole story. |
I think that, at most, you might have an insurance claim if you can get another appraisal and confirm that it is NOT the same stone as the original stone. However, I think you will have absolutely no chance at getting any recourse from the jewelry store. Unless you had a plot made when you dropped off the stone, and then re-plotted it immediately when you picked it up (before you left the store), there is no way to prove that you didn''t switch the stone on your own, either sometime in the last 17 years or since you''ve picked up the stone. I also find it odd that the jewelry store just happened to find another stone that so closely resembled yours within the 10 days and decided to switch it. It is not that big of a difference in color - I vote for conflicting appraisals, not stone switching. But I''m not an expert - just my common sense opinion.

Internationally recognized for groundbreaking work which occupies a space between sculpture, cinema and drawing, British-born McCall trained at Ravensbourne College of Art & Design in the mid 1960s. Shortly afterwards, in the early 1970s, he began working with performance and film, initially through a series of open-air performances which were significant for their minimal use of elements such as fire. McCall first took up filmmaking in order to record such performance works, which, in turn, led to an increasing interest in the medium of film itself, and the idea of making films that existed only in the present tense at the very moment of projection.
The three films featured in the exhibition, Landscape for Fire, Landscape for White Squares and Earth Work, originally shot in 16mm, document a series of live, outdoor, sculptural performances. All three performances were made in collaboration with Exit, a British group of musicians and artists. The earliest film, Landscape for Fire, records a performance in which a group of participants ignited containers of petrol laid out in a grid pattern across the field. Their actions were meticulously organized according to 'scores', drawn up by the artist beforehand, also on display here in the exhibition. Landscape for White Squares features individuals emerging out of a dense fog, carrying large, square, white sheets. Earth Work, a solo performance by McCall, is set in the grounds of Dial House, a farmhouse in North Weald, near London, where the founding members of Exit lived communally. The outdoor performance culminates in the burying of a box of earth.
The show will also feature Five Minute Drawing, a drawing resulting from a performance first realised in 1974 and performed by the artist in the gallery in 2011. The drawing takes place in actual time as the viewer observes the act of creation. Using a string previously blackened with graphite, the spectator watches the artist trace an arc onto sheets of white paper mounted in ascending order on the wall. A film of the drawing performed in New York in 2008 will be on view.
The exhibition at Sprüth Magers Berlin will run concurrently with Anthony McCall's solo show, Five Minutes of Pure Sculpture at the Hamburger Bahnhof in Berlin. For the artist's first major museum show in Germany, his horizontal solid light works will be exhibited together for the first time with his more recent vertical works. Sprüth Magers Berlin will show the working drawings for Leaving, Meeting you halfway and Breath, on display at the Hamburger Bahnhof.
Anthony McCall has been awarded a large sculptural commission for 2012 by the Arts Council and the Cultural Olympiad, to realise his Column in North-West England: a sinuous column of cloud that rises from the surface of the water into the sky.
