This is a follow up to my post about our 10 month son's head-----My husband called our doctor for clarification about why we are seeing a Neurosurgeon-----She said --"his head is fine, his brain is fine, not to worry" he asked if he could have one those disorders with the bones fusing and she said no------she said it is purely cosmetic--she wants a beautiful baby--a perfect baby--- our Logan has a prominent forehead and she wants it to to not keep getting more prominent I guess------ can anyone tell me what could they possibly do for a prominent forehead at 10 months old? How could they stop it? Anyone have any similar situation. Puzzled and still worried
Advice please! Baby's forehead
Comments (4)
You may want to ask on the craniosynostosis board.
I think that is the disorder you are afraid of. There is one case of that disorder that doctors often call "cosmetic". It's called a metopic ridge. My DD has one. There is a lot of debate as to whether it's truely cosmetic or if surgery is needed. They can do xrays and CT scans to see if the suture lines are fused or not. A metopic ridge can be felt and seen down the center of the forehead. The head also usually has a pinched, triangular look to it. 10 months is on the older side for this to show up or for it to be an issue.
I suggest visiting that board and googling it for more info.

Well ..no ridge and has nothing like the other metopic symptoms----he just has a promenent smooth forehead------not sure what else could casue it ---h elook slike my nephew pics when he was a baby....
Then I would say most likely, it's just something that runs in the family. If she says everything is fine, then going to a neuro does not make sense. Would you put your child through surgery just to make him "perfect" to the doctor? I doubt it. I would call her again and really make her explain things and even tell her that you don't see the point of going to a surgeon, unless she can give you a clear medical reason.
I hope you can get things figured out and that it does not cause you too much stress and worry!!

Is it the whole forehead? Also, does the back of his head have flatness to it? It if it is not the whole forehead, is the prominent side opposite a flat spot on the back of the head (ie. if the left side it prominent, is the back right showing a flat spot?)?
My son has a mild case of plagiocephaly. This is a flat spot on the back, to one side or the other. In our case the left forehead is prominent with the right back showing a flatness.
If the whole back is flat and the whole forehead is prominent is the brachycephaly.
There are treatments for these, if this is what it is. Were you refered to a pediatric neurosurgeon? Ask your pediatrician if this is what they believe it to be. If so, Cranial Technologies is a company that I was refered to if I cared to pursue treatment, we went to a neurosurgeon and he felt that the case was VERY mild. While I do not see that it has completely corrected, it isn't noticable to anyone but myself and my husband. They use a treatment called a DOC band, it is a helmet that applies preassure to the prominent areas restricting further growth, while allowing the other areas that are flat to grow. Look into it further, and don't let the stories you read worry you. It is not a developmental thing, if this is what it is.
The hardest part is getting insurance to cover treatment. Ours won't, but that is not the reason we didn't seek it. The cost is as about as much as getting braces. They are just in a helmet for 23 hours out of a 24 hour day, for about 3-4 months. Possibly longer, with the severity and age of the baby.
What upsets me is how long it took your pediatrician to refer you to someone. Our pediatrician noticed our LO's at 3 months and said if we were going to do something about it 5-7 months is the prime age. But there are cases of treatment up to 2 years with some correction. But, no one is perfect, except our own children! I'm sure your LO is beautiful and the only reason the forehead it prominent is because he has a big brain! :o) Good luck, and there are boards on here and on yahoo to find support from other parents. But, like I said, don't let their stories guilt you or scare you into making a decision that you don't feel is best for your child.

I have this counterproductive dance I do with my long-distance loved ones.
Here's how it goes: when I don't expect to see faraway friends and family anytime soon, I'm pretty good at keeping in touch. I make calls, write cards, and send care packages.
But when I do expect to see people soon – say, in the weeks just before a family vacation – I slack off. I don't call, and I hold back from sharing. My justification for this is that I'm saving up the best discussion topics for in-person interaction.
My sweet family, Thanksgiving 2015 – we've been taking group-shot selfies since way before they were cool.
Alas, this saving up mentality doesn't deliver on its promises.
I don't feel close to my loved ones when I'm hoarding information. Rather, I feel close to beloved people when I'm sharing my stories, trusting that there will always be more to tell.

Babydoll Dresses from Ladies Outfitters
Go short with a babydoll dress!
A babydoll dress is characterized by its short length and high empire waist, which is higher than the natural waist. The typical placement for the waistlines on these dresses ranges from the mid-ribcage region to just below the bust line. The skirt of the dress then falls from below the waist and drapes away from the body. Some skirts on babydoll dresses can even be puffy and layered. Some traditional accents on babydoll dress are lace, ruffles, or beading. A babydoll defines a woman's waist and can enhance her natural bust line. The neckline on a babydoll dress varies with a scoop neck, round, straight, V neck or sweetheart.
Choose your perfect style!
The babydoll dress is this incredible little dress that is literally perfect for all your important formal occasions. Prom, home coming, a wedding, birthday party, holiday party. You name the occasion and we can dress you up for it. This is the type of dress that flaunts your body and makes you proud to be a woman. Your bust is emphasized, your waist is hugged, and all your natural curves will shine. The best part? The high waistline allows all your little imprefections to magically disappear! Tony Bowls, Jump, and many others are the experts in the babydoll cut and really know how to impress a lady. Just check out the Tony Bowls multi colored jeweled bodice sweetheart mini; this comes from his 2013 prom line. Jump is another expert in all things prom and party. They prove it by giving us the strapless glitter pleated tulle mini and the laser cut tulle mini with ruched bodice and sequined bust.

Right up there with Geena Davis' nightmare of giving birth to Jeff Goldblum's little baby 'Brundlefly' comes a story about a woman giving birth…
To a horse.
During a program about prophecy, a female member of the Worshippers of the World Liberation Ministry began screaming during a prayer session and began bleeding from her girl-parts.
Evangelist Silva Wealth, referred to as the General Overseer of the church told journalists that a revelation came that a woman among them had an issue and that something was blocking her womb.
Wealth claimed that as prayers from church-goers became more instense, the unidentified woman started delivering 'the object'.
A cleric of the church wouldn't go near the thing:
"I can't describe the object. We have seen people that vomited several things during our service but not this type of thing. God has been blessing our ministry with prophesies and miracles, "he said.
That 'object' was a still-born horse.
As people begin to flock in droves to the church where this event took place, we can only imagine what kind of disturbing swag the inevitable gift shop is going to be pushing.
About 50 years ago about 90 stations around the world had the capacity to transmit TV signals with enough power to reach Interstellar Space. In many ways the only evidence of our presence as a civilization in this galaxy is all the television broadcasts these stations put out. One of these stations was the BBC which transmitted with a signal of about 100,000 watts right in the middle of the 41-68 MHz band. So merrily, unwittingly, the human civilization on Earth broadcast its presence and culture to the larger Galaxy for more than 67 years.
To put this in perspective, and only counting with the TV signals, a 67 light-year radius sphere of galactic space has knowledge of us and of our capacity for technology. Within this 67 light-year sphere are contained at least 3000 stars and stellar systems. Of these 3000 , at least 160 of them are G class stars very similar to our own sun. So why does this matter?
Because, according to reports, like a scene out of Carl Sagan's Contact we are getting signals from space and they are our own! Somewhere in deep interstellar space about 25 light-years away there is source of radio waves right smack in the 41-68 MHz band. And this unknown object tentatively called the "Reflective Anomaly" is beaming our own TV from 1963 right back at us. This is great for us nerds because it means we can get back some of our lost classics like early William Hartnell Doctor Who episodes which the BBC in its wisdom erased to make way for masterpiece theatre or something like it on the very expensive early magnetic tapes.
Radio Astronomers are collecting and digitally enhancing these signals into usable recordings of all the lost shows from that era. The main article says that the "anomaly" is some sort of unexplained reflective material 25 ly away but to this observer that just sounds like they have no clue how this is possible. They are refusing to consider the obvious.
Aliens! The civilization who is doing this is situated just far enough away that they are about to experience the summer of love and eventually Men's first landing on a non terrestrial object, the 1969, Apollo 11 Moonlanding. They are beaming back our own signals because they have seen Doctor Who and they like it! They are telling us that we might be friends, that is until the catch a whiff of seventies and TV Gems like Monty Python's Flying Circus and they decide we are all crazy.
I for one hope that our friends from across the void are just that. I mean an entity who likes the first Doctor can't be all bad. Don't believe me? Check it out for yourself : http://www.rimmell.com/bbc/news.htm
Who knows , it might just be a bit of iron ore left over from an ancient supernova which is aligned just right to bounce some of the stuff we earthlings put out into space. But it's kinda cool to picture some strange being witnessing our history and our collective culture in a planet far, far, away.
Update: Alas, this particular story is a hoax, which I believe is appropriated for these heady days, but the idea is intriguing. How long till we see a signal from some civilization and will we enjoy their crappy TV. Perhaps we will never know.

This awesome piece of ugly mimicry is all-natural, folks.
Called the Auricularia auricula-judae, this grotesque-looking piece of work is a fungus commonly referred to as Judas' Ear, Jelly Ear or Common Ear Fungus. Fitting.
Found all over the world on elder trees, the fungus is bland-tasting but occasionally used as a remedy for a sore throat in Asia and Europe.
In America it's probably beneficial when used as a remedy for freaking out annoying children.

Carnivorous plants are as sneaky as they are creepy. What they lack in speed, they make up for in shady tactics to attract and snag prey.
The standard 'Pitcher Plant', shaped like something you'd pour Evil Nectar-flavored Kool-Aid from, draws its intended prey into the bell portion of it's diabolical design. Once the prey slips on the wax-like coating covering the interior of the plant, it falls into the bottom of the pitcher and the plant's digestive enzymes begin the horrific process of breaking down its latest victim. Some of the bigger species of Nepenthes Gracilis (the Pitcher Plant's fancy latin moniker) have even been seen luring, trapping and digesting small birds.
Why are we rehashing something a lot of our readers might know about?
Something unique is happening to help keep trap more prey into the Pitcher Plant. The thing is developing a new trick.
On top of the large 'bell' portion of the plant is a lid. Up until this new discovery, Pitcher Plants have only used the lid for keeping out rain. Now the underside of the lid has developed its own advanced waxy coating that potential food feels securely attached to. The trick is that the feeling of security that an insect feels clinging to the underside of the lid is a sham! A raindrop hitting the top side of the lid will cause most insects clinging underneath to be knocked down into the Pitcher Plant's sweet death-nectar.
Let's just hope that these things don't decide that developing legs might be something fun to do.

Joey Votto (1B)
Cincinnati Reds - 98% owned(?)
Mon, Jun 15th 12:06pm EDT
By Kerry Kauffman
The Reds managed just seven hits in a 2-1 loss to the Cubs on Sunday. Joey Votto was one of the few bright spots for the Reds, going 2-for-5 with a double. He raised his average to .298 for the season.
Fantasy Impact: Votto has been excellent all season with an on-base percentage of .398 and OPS of .956. He's on pace to hit 37 home runs and knock in 94 runs. Votto is performing like he did during his All-Star campaigns of 2010 through 2013. He's a top notch fantasy first baseman.

By Kerry Kauffman
Joey Votto was one of three Reds with two hit in Saturday game against the Indians. The problem is the Reds lost the game, 2-1. Votto finished 2-for-4 with a strikeout and is batting .289 this season.
Fantasy Impact: Votto has seven home runs and 21 RBI this season. He's walked 24 times and has an on-base percentage of .386, but has struck out an alarming 37 times. Fantasy owners should feel comfortable with Votto's overall production, as he's on a pace for 27 home runs and 81 RBI.

Joey went 0-for-4 Sunday in the loss to the Whitesox. He finishes the series 3-for-8 against Chicago. He was walked once, and also struck out once in the game.
Fantasy Impact: Joey continues to look great at the plate this year. He does what he can to get on base and is 12th in the MLB with a .415 OBP. He's also been flashing a little bit of power as he has seven homeruns on the season.

Mon, May 4th 9:31am EDT

Votto had a mediocre day at the plate on Sunday; a game which saw him go 1-for-3, including a walk. He didn't manage to score or drive in runs, as the Reds were awfully lethargic. The Reds tied the series with the Braves, splitting four.
Fantasy Impact: Votto continues to play good ball this year. He's hitting for power and making it to base frequently. In 25 games this year, he's batting .323 with seven homeruns, and 17 RBI's. In this last series against Atlanta, Votto hit 6-for-16.

In a two-game series against the NL Central's second-place Cubs, Joey went 0-for-6. He did manage to get three walks; however, his performance was disappointing after coming off a series in Milwaukee where he managed to go 6-for-17.
Fantasy Impact: Thank goodness for Joey and fantasy owners everywhere, he gets to play the struggling Brewers again. His previous series against the Brewers saw him go 6-for-17 with two homeruns, four RBI, and four runs scored. Start him confidently.

Joey Votto was 2-for-5 Tuesday night with a solo shot and three runs scored, in the 16-10 Reds win. In a night that saw seven homeruns, including three grand slams, Votto's performance was slightly overshadowed.
Fantasy Impact: This April, Votto is batting .377, with six homeruns, 13 RBI's, 12 Runs scored, and 12 walks. His production has been consistent all year, and after a miserable 2014, he seems to be back on track. Start him with confidence whenever, wherever.

Votto went 2-for-4 including a two-run home run in the seventh inning of the Reds 6-1 win over the Brewers. He raised his average to .375 this season and has five home runs already in 2015.
Fantasy Impact: Votto looks primed and locked in for a big season. Most experts figured he would hit for a high average this season, but the five home runs are a pleasant surprise to fantasy owners. Keep rolling with him in all your lineups.

The opposite field power of Joey Votto returns
Fantasy Impact: Joey Votto put on a raw display of power Friday night as he gave Cincinnati a one run lead on two separate occasions. Votto hit two home runs over the opposite field wall in his first two at-bats off Cardinal starter John Lackey. Joey added a surprise stolen base in the eighth inning and totaled 16.75 fantasy points according to Fanduel. The resurgence of Joey Vottos opposite field power is a tremendous sign for the Reds who need an enormous bounce back year from Votto if they hope to make a run at October. Votto is scorching at the plate and appears to be a must start in all fantasy formats.

Bryan Price, the Reds manager will likely start the season with Votto hitting second.
Fantasy Impact: Knowing that Votto will get on base a ton this makes a lot of sense for him to hit second. This will allow the likes of Frazier & Bruce to hit behind him which will add protection and the opportunity for him to score more runs. Don't be skeptical about this move as he is still not being loved in most drafts. Once he proves to others they were wrong you will be very pleased with his production and value.

Votto to start Saturday against Kansas City. (Source: John Fay on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: 2015 has been labeled a bounce back year for the Cincinnati Reds and no individual player needs to bounce back more than Joey Votto. Votto only participated in 62 games last season following a knee injury. His absence from the lineup proved to be detrimental down the stretch, with the Reds finishing the season at 76-86. Major concerns developed earlier this week after Votto missed the first 4 spring training games, but he and the organization hope to alleviate those concerns tomorrow as he is slated to step out on the diamond for the first time since early July. A healthy Joey Votto is Cincinnati's most valuable player from a fantasy perspective. Votto boasts an outstanding career OBP of .471 paired with the ability to leave the yard consistently. If Joey Votto proves to be healthy when he debuts tomorrow and has the ability to avoid injury throughout the season, he will be the best 1st baseman in the National League and a possible MVP contender.

According to Bryan Price, Votto is in great health. "The last report when Sean was up in Toronto earlier this month was very, very good," Price said. "The strength was outstanding, the stamina was good and the agility...I'm confident that he's going to be ready to go." (Source: MLB.com)
Fantasy Impact: Expect Votto to bounce back from his 2014 in which he missed 100 games with a distal strain on his left quadriceps. This is positive news as Votto was not in perfect health coming into 2014.

With Joey Votto coming off an injury-plagued 2014, elite production is not expected out of the former all-star. Round 7 is what this site has projected for Votto. (Source: Fantasy Baseball Crackerjacks)
Fantasy Impact: Drafting Votto in the seventh round could be quite a steal. There would be a lot of upside to a pick this late if Votto can get his power numbers back to where they were. If your league is utilizing BB, drafting Votto would be wise even without the power.

The city of Madison said Wednesday that it's seeking proposals from companies that are interested in bringing a full service, affordable grocery store to a west neighborhood.
Madison said it is seeking proposals from developers, property owners, and grocery store operators that will establish a grocery store in the Allied Drive neighborhood, which is considered a food desert since the Walgreen's on Verona Road closed last year.
Proposals are due June 15, but a letter of intent to apply is due May 15.
The city said in mid-January that it would provide $300,000 in financial assistance as an incentive to draw a store to the area. The funds will be in the form of a low-interest or partially forgivable loan.
WATCH as News 3's Mary Jo Ola visits Brocach Irish Pub in Madison Tuesday morning to learn from one of the chefs about cooking an Irish feast for St. Patrick's Day.
Brocach has two Madison locations, one on the Capitol Square and another on Monroe Street.
Restaurants in Madison are receiving nationwide recognition for their culinary creations this week.
Chef Dan Fox of downtown Madison's Heritage Tavern and Chef Jonny Hunter of Forequarter on the near east side are in the running for the prestigious James Beard Best in the Midwest Award.
WATCH as Fox and Hunter describe what makes their cuisine award-worthy.
Friday marks the first day of Girl Scout cookie sales.
News 3 Reporter Mary Jo Ola was at the Girl Scouts of Wisconsin Badgerland Council Center on Madison's south side Friday to talk to the budding entrepreneurs, a group of Daisies, Brownies, Juniors and a Cadette Girl Scout, about the coming sales season.

The city of Madison is exploring options for expanding car-sharing options for residents.
City Parking Utility Interim Parking Operations Manager Bill Putnam told News 3 there is one car-sharing company operating in Madison and another on the University of Wisconsin campus, but neither operation rents spaces from the city.
A public meeting scheduled for Jan. 28 will include presentations from car-sharing companies.
Putnam said they are early in the process of coming up with ideas to bring more companies to Madison and support the concept of car-sharing in the city.
One outcome is the city could request proposals from companies to rent spaces in city lots and garages.
A release from the city states that car-sharing reduces the need for car ownership and can replace as many as nine to 13 individually-owned vehicles, leading the less congestion, demand for parking and emissions.
A scam-savvy business owner was able to detect a caller's fraud attempt last week, Madison police said.
Madison police said a person called the Blue Velvet Lounge on West Gilman Street at 6:19 p.m. Friday claiming to be with MG&E. The caller told the bar owner that the business was behind on payments and that the owner must pay $745 immediately or service would be cut off in 2 hours.
The bar owner called the real MG&E and a company representative told him to contact police.
A Madison officer called the scammer's number, 888-681-5444, and spoke to a person who identified himself as Larry Anderson. The suspected scammer claimed to be with MG&E's "billing interruption service," police said.
The Madison officer identified himself and asked to speak with the suspected scammer's supervisor, but when the officer's call was transferred to another line, it rang several times and disconnected, according to the report.

text: The main camps inside the park are open year-round, and have restaurants, bars, shops, swimming pools, picnic sites, petrol stations, kiosks and floodlit watering holes that attract game throughout the night. Although fees are normally prepaid through NWR in Windhoek, it is sometimes possible to reserve accommodation at either gate. However, be advised that the park can get very busy on weekends, especially during the dry season – if you can manage it, pre-booking is recommended.

Veterans' Employment and Training Service:
Assessment of the Fiscal Year 1999 Performance Plan
HEHS-98-240R: Published: Sep 30, 1998. Publicly Released: Sep 30, 1998.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-3000
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed the Veterans' Employment and Training Service (VETS) performance plan for fiscal year 1999, focusing on: (1) the extent to which the plan provides a clear picture of intended performance across the agency; (2) how well the plan discusses the strategies VETS will use to achieve its performance goals; and (3) the extent to which VETS performance plan provides confidence that its performance information will be credible.
GAO noted that: (1) considering that this is the first performance plan that VETS has produced, the plan contains a great deal of useful information to inform Congress about VETS' intended performance; (2) GAO expects that as VETS gains experience, future performance plans will build upon this initial effort and become increasingly useful to Congress and the public; (3) some particular strengths of the current performance plan are the extent to which it reflects VETS' mission in its strategic goals, which are linked with the Department of Labor's (DOL) strategic goals, and its acknowledgment that many other agencies within DOL and outside DOL are important to achieving its goals; (4) however, a number of refinements could be made to VETS' 1999 annual performance plan to clarify its goals; (5) specifically, while the performance plan outlined a goal for all but one of VETS' activities, many of the goals are not quantifiable in 1999 and others are redundant or ambiguous; (6) in addition, the plan provides little information about detailed strategies the agency intends to use to achieve its goals; and (7) the plan provides little confidence that its performance information will be credible because so much of the data to be used have not yet been developed.

Indian reservations are hobbled by burdensome regulations and bureaucracy. Native Americans should be given the dignity they deserve and be freed from federal guardianship.
Terry Anderson, Shawn Regan 09/18/2013
Indian reservations contain more than $1 trillion worth of untapped energy resources. If tribes had the same rights as those living outside of reservations, they could unlock the tremendous wealth of their lands.

No, it's missing some things like a computer opponent I believe. It's been a looong time since I've looked at the game. It's perfectly playable though.

Close-Up: Iranian New Wave's Seminal Creation
Although Abbas Kiarostami seems to be receding into a Godardian cave of late, this must-see 1990 artichoke—in many ways, the Iranian New Wave's seminal creation—will never age out. Last decade, it seemed as if nobody made movies with such mundane majesty. Close-Up begins, though not for us, with a court case against Sabzian, an out-of-work Iranian man who, posing as controversial director-celebrity Mohsen Makhmalbaf, insinuates himself into an upper-class Tehrani family's life under the pretense of using them in a film. He doesn't, of course, but in a kind of proto-reality show sleight-of-hand, Kiarostami does—entire segments of Sabzian's strange little history with the family are re-enacted for the camera, and we're never clear on exactly how much of what we see is true and how much is fiction. The courtroom footage is authentically "real," but that means little as the cameras become active meddling forces in Sabzian's fate. The hall of mirrors is deep, but they all reflect, humanely, on both Sabzian and his prey's intoxication with movie-world fame. Like nearly every other Kiarostami film, Close-Up takes questions about movies and makes them feel like questions of life and death.

Dermatologists and beauty editors agree: this hydrating mist is your best bet for curing dryness and irritation in a snap. Bottled from the medicinal springs of Avène, France, it's rich in minerals that rebalance all kinds of troubled skin. It's clinically proven to soothe the redness and stinging associated with sunburn, eczema, and other skin conditions. Use it as a morning toner or a mid-day skin refresher.
When I first pulled this item out of my box, all I saw was "thermal water". I thought that was really weird and read through the included manual and read the directions. I sprayed the water onto my face and it was indeed refreshing but my skin was not softer or anything because it's just water. I even read the ingredients on the back... water and nitrogen (which is just because it's in a spray can).
I don't have any sort of skin irritations or anything so maybe it feels better for people with sensitive skin, but I would prefer to use a home-made spray bottle with water from my sink.

Picture: Leonardo DiCaprio on the set of new Sam Mendes movie "Revolutionary Road" Due for release in December 2008 Tribeca, New York City - 02.06.07
LEONARDO DiCAPRIO got an unexpected greeting while shooting his upcoming movie THE DEPARTED recently, when an excited group of strippers hunted him down.
The TITANIC star, currently dating Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bundchen, is in Boston, Massachusetts, working on the movie alongside Jack Nicholson, Mark Wahlberg and Matt Damon, and was stunned when a group of scantily-clad strippers came looking for him.
Damon says, "We had one night where we were shooting all night next to a strip club. And there's just this point where we're driving to the set and like 20 girls in G-strings with dollar bills coming out were like, 'Where's Leonardo?'
"I'm like, 'Yes, my friend, this is my home. Welcome."

What Have You Got To Lose, Anyway? Click here to know more Diminishing Stretch Marks By Martha Fitzharris Stretch marks are results of rapid stretching of the skin due to rapid weight gain and growth spurts. Pregnant women are more likely to have stretch marks the breasts, abdoman, and hips. Teenagers are more likely to have them on the shoulders and hips. In general, anyone who gains and loses weight rapidly will probably get stretch marks. Stretch marks can be bothersome and unsightly to the ones that have them. As the skin stretches, collagen fibers in the skin tear, thus causing damage to the dermal tissue. Unfortunatly, once a stretch mark appears it is permanant and difficult to make it fade away; however it is not impossible. Fortunatly, there are treatments available to help fade them away. A suitable method for removing the stretch marks is to use a cream which utilizes biological activators of your bodies own regenerative process to prevent and diminish stretch marks. This type of cream will stimulate the production of new collagen, elastina and other proteins from within the skin, allowing your skin to heal itself thus replacing damaged skin. Martha Fitzharris is a free lance journalist for http://www.naturalbioskincare.com a website offering a new biological natural skin care product that activates skin renewal.

Apart from that there were many other issues. What if the surgeon's scalpel slipped by mistake? Instead of healing the stretch marks, the patients would be left with a scar mark. Plastic surgeons themselves advise that people should opt in for this type of treatment as a last resort. There is some good news for those of you who want to have a clear skin, devoid of any flaws, and want to reduce stretch marks. The best way to get rid of stretch marks on your skin is by opting in for the wonder cream… Cosmetyn. Check out the net and read Cosmetyn review and you'll find out how many people have benefited by its use. Surgery helps to reduce stretch marks, but it is not risk free and it also costs lots of money. The end results are not always what you sought and the recovery period of such surgeries are quite long, especially during the monsoon season when the air is moist and does not permit the operated area to dry up quickly. Cosmetyn skin cream, on the other hand, is a natural way to banish the stretch marks of your skin without the fears related to surgery. This cream contains some natural ingredients and vitamins essential to pamper your skin and thereby reducing its stretch marks.

On using this cream you will notice stretch marks along with age spots slowly diminishing each other day till they vanish altogether. There is another added benefit of this miraculous cream. While working in the background to reduce the stretch marks and age spots of your skin it also moisturizes the surface of the skin, thereby preventing any other marks from forming.

NBA union head Billy Hunter's time with Patty Hearst (and more)
Jul 27, 2011, 11:08 PM EDT
Billy Hunter today is an interesting story. He is the executive director of the National Basketball Players Association, the man across the table (or will be next week) staring down David Stern in a dispute over how to split up the fans' money that could set the entire NBA back a decade or more. No pressure guys.
But Billy Hunter's story before he got to this moment is fascinating.
Over at Grantland, Jonathan Abrams weaves a masterful bit of storytelling about Hunter's life, and what led him to this moment. We'll give you some highlights, but you really should click the link and read the entire thing for yourself.
As a youth, Hunter played baseball and in 1955 was on one of the first integrated teams to play in the Little League World Series. As a team, they had to vote if they would play because of death threats against the squad.
In high school, Hunter starred in four sports, but ultimately chose to play football at Syracuse. As a running back, Hunter followed Ernie Davis, the 1961 Heisman Trophy winner, and preceded Floyd Little, a future Hall of Famer. But Hunter was also making moves that would chart his path. With the memories of his Little League days as an impetus, Hunter led a petition signed by every black athlete at Syracuse stating that they would boycott playing colleges in the South that engaged in segregated seating in stadiums or arenas.
Hunter had a brief NFL career but eventually went on to law school at Howard University then got a Masters of Laws degree at UC Berkley out in California. Out there he became a prosecutor and eventually the chief assistant in the San Francisco District Attorney's Office, then President Jimmy Carter made him he U.S. Attorney for Northern California.
He brought the first major federal cases against the Hells Angels and Black Panther Party. Hunter also prosecuted the surviving members who aided Jim Jones' cult after the mass suicide of more than 900 people in Jonestown, Guyana, in 1978…. Hunter also recommended Patty Hearst's sentence be commuted and visited Hearst while she was imprisoned.
Hunter eventually opened his own firm and eventually that led him to the chair he occupies now. Hunter has been with the NBPA for 15 years and he says he had a feeling this lockout was coming since 2007. In the end it may be the defining period of his time as head of the NBA's players union.
But it will not be the defining time of his life.
- skids003 - Jul 28, 2011 at 2:29 PM
Very misleading headline. Makes it sound like the guy was in cahoots with her or something. After reading the article, he has a very impressive resume. I hope he and Stern can work this out.

Is Your Photo as Good as It Could Be?
What is the #1 way to get noticed on ChristianMingle? Post a photo to go along with your profile. On ChristianMingle, profiles that have photos get more than 10 TIMES the response that profiles without photos do.
Now, before you say that people shouldn't just look at the outward appearance, keep in mind that people like to have a face to associate with the username, the words on the Message Board, and the email that is sitting in their box. Photos help to break the ice and make it easier to send that Smile, the Card that's really funny, or the email that just says 'I want to get to know you.'
Photos show off your personality, so make sure that you post photos that really help people see the true you. But what do you do if you don't like to get pictures taken, or you just don't have any lying around your house? Get a friend to help you. Friends can help you feel comfortable and confident about yourself, which helps you when it comes time to flash those pearly whites!
Here are some tips to get a great photo:
- Be yourself - get together with a good friend, go out and do something that you enjoy. If you like to climb trees, climb a tree - just make sure there aren't any big branches blocking your face when you get the picture taken. We want to see your face!
- Wear something that you like and you feel makes you look great. There's nothing worse than being told to wear a cowboy hat if you hate them, or heels if they hurt your feet. Wear what you like and you'll be more comfortable in front of the camera.
- Take a bunch of pictures! You've gotten all ready for the camera, so don't just stop at 1 picture. Take a few pictures doing different things and hanging out with friends, your pets, your kids, whatever. This gives you a variety of pictures to choose from and you are guaranteed that a couple will turn out really well.
- Make sure you've got a good headshot. This doesn't mean that you have to go get a professional picture taken, just make sure that one of your pictures focuses on your face. This is your best opportunity to show off those great eyes and that gorgeous smile. If you have photo-editing software but no headshot, crop one of your pictures.
- Make sure that you are the star of your pictures - not the big tree you're standing in front of. We all know what trees look like, so make sure that the picture of you isn't taken too far away. A little bark here and there is fine - just don't make us look at the trunk, branches, and leaves of an enormous Redwood all while squinting to make out the person standing at the base.
Here are some photos that illustrate the tips above:
Good Example of a Default Photo - Focus is his face
Bad Example of a Default Photo - What does this guy look like? There is nothing here to say 'This is who I am'
Bad Example
Good Example
Remember, being on ChristianMingle is an opportunity to make great friends and hopefully meet someone that makes your heart skip a beat. Give these people the chance to get to know you - through your words, your notes - and your pictures!
Christian leaders are saying...
Given today's fast paced lifestyles, finding someone that's equally yoked can be extremely challenging and time consuming. The difference between ChristianMingle and many other online dating sites is that they go above and beyond, providing better safeguards and connection tools. They also have a true desire to equip singles with resources to help them grow in their walk with Jesus Christ. As a pastor of one of the premier singles ministries in Atlanta, I sincerely encourage you to give ChristianMingle a try and experience the difference.
~Greg Ford, Founder and President, Echo Ministries
