Area players set for regional tennis showdown
CORPUS CHRISTI - Moody tennis players Brian Arriaga and Kristyn Rodriguez are determined to experience victory at the Region IV-4A tournament this time.
The Trojans mixed doubles team of Arriaga and Rodriguez are just two of the regional qualifiers from the Coastal Bend looking to make their mark at regionals. Both the Region IV-4A and 5A tennis tournaments begin at 8 a.m. Tuesday and conclude at 8 a.m. Wednesday at San Antonio's Blossom Athletic Center and McFarland Tennis Center respectively.
The senior Rodriguez is a three-time regional qualifier, while this will be the sophomore Arriaga's second straight appearance in San Antonio.
This is the first time Rodriguez and Arriaga have qualified for the regional tournament in mixed doubles, as Moody coach Mario Ramos said they previously competed in girls and boys doubles respectively.
"They've never made it past the first round before and that's their goal," Ramos said. "They've been there before, they know what to expect and the caliber of players that they will see. So, we feel pretty good about them getting past that first round and hopefully they'll do some damage (beyond that)."
King senior Lindsey Tristan and Ray junior Coy Dobson also will look to make another run at the UIL state tournament May 10 and 11 in Austin. Tristan reached the state quarterfinals in Class 5A girls singles this past season, while Dobson made it to the state semifinals in 4A boys singles.
The District 27-5A champion Tristan will put her undefeated streak, which includes both the fall and spring seasons, on the line at regionals.
"I've done this before and I can do it again," Tristan said of returning to the state tournament. "There's no reason why I can't."
The 30-4A champion Dobson, meanwhile, will look to defend his Region IV-4A title.
"I think Coy has a great shot," Ray coach Cynthia Schulze said of Dobson making it back to state.
G-P coach Carl Prewit also likes the chances of 30-4A girls singles champion Lauren Quisenberry's (who will play college tennis for MIT next season) and 30-4A mixed doubles champions Catherine Dooley and Jake Katz making a run at the state tournament for G-P this season.
Calallen's 31-4A champion girls doubles team of Kristen Weismantel and Liana Gonzalez and Flour Bluff's 31-4A champion boys doubles team of Dominic Detore and Alan Levine are two more teams to watch from the area with state tournament aspirations

Police appealing for witnesses after Tunstall crash leaves motorcyclist with broken bones
Posted: April 17, 2014|
STAFFORDSHIRE Police are seeking information from the public after a motorcyclist was badly injured in a crash last month.
The incident occurred on the corner of Hollywall Lane at 1.20pm on Wednesday, March 26.
A 25-year-old local man was travelling on his black Yamaha bike towards Lowlands Road when another vehicle - described as a pale mint green Fiat Punto - approached from the opposite direction travelling on the wrong side of the road, causing the motorcyclist to swerve and fall off his bike.
The motorcyclist was taken to hospital where he was treated for a broken wrist, dislocated ankle and broken bones in his foot. He has since been released.

Women's volleyball team eliminated from SoCal Regionals by Cypress in three games
Moorpark swept away
Unable to hold serve both literally and figuratively, the Moorpark College women's volleyball team lost Tuesday night to 10th-seeded Cypress in three straight games, 25-20, 26-24, 27-25, to suffer an early exit from the Southern California Regionals.
The fourth-seeded Raiders (20-5) committed 10 service errors and squandered several late-game rallies, especially in the crucial second and third games, in losing to a quicker and more coordinated Chargers attack.
Trailing 24-20 in the second game, Moorpark sophomore outside hitter Savannah Thomas slammed home two of her 10 kills to give the Raiders both the serve and some much-needed momentum. Two straight aces by freshman Kayla Ingraham tied the game, but miscommunication on defense after a block by Thomas and freshman Rachel Olinyk gave Cypress the point, and eventually the Game 2 win.
"We had a couple shots at Game 2 and Game 3 and we didn't do what we needed to do with the ball at that time," said Moorpark coach Steve Burkhart. "When you don't do those things, (the other team) comes back to bite you. I think Cypress is a good team and they proved it out there tonight."
Communication breakdowns plagued the Raiders throughout the match. Moorpark was forced into three double-touches and several situations where the defense left seams wide open to opposing hitters.
Of chief concern was that when play broke down and the teams were forced out of system, Cypress (14-8) was able to improvise and communicate far more efficiently than Moorpark.
Burkhart attributed that to the fact the Chargers play in the hyper-competitive Orange Empire Conference, which features five of the state's top 16 teams.
"They have really tough matches all the time," Burkhart said. "They're a little more used to it than we were down the stretch."
Cypress capitalized on each of its' late-game leads, while Moorpark tended to squander such opportunities. In the third game, the Raiders pulled ahead 22-21 for their first meaningful lead of the night, only to see freshman Una Siljegovic's serve go straight into the net.
Siljegovic was hobbled by an ankle injury, but did account for eight kills, 14 digs and four blocks. On offense, though, she was largely a non-factor.
The one phase of the game in which Moorpark did execute was in the block. Aside from Siljegovic's four, Olinyk made 11 stops and Thomas checked in with three. Most of the Raiders' blocks came in a hard-fought second game. But it still was not enough to stand up to the Chargers' quickness.
"We started to block a little better in Game 2 and Game 3," Burkhart said. "But give credit to (Cypress). They kept bringing the ball back, and they had a couple of good outside hitters and we didn't adjust real well."
The season-ending defeat was the first loss for the Raiders in their last 13 matches, their last loss being to No. 1 and state championship favorite L.A. Pierce on Sept. 30.

Before summer's over, you must try this.
Yeah, that's a mojito.
But do not – please, do not – buy mint from the grocery store. Mint grows like a weed and overtakes people's gardens and planters. I'm sure there is someone in your life with more mint than they know what to do with. Ask around. Find that person, and use mint fresh from their yard.
Then muddle about 10 leaves with 1/8 of a lime (halve it, then quarter the halves). Then add a spoonful of sugar (more or less depending on your preference) and two more lime slices and muddle some more. Next fill up your glass with ice, pour in a shot of white rum and finish it off with club soda. Garnish with another lime and sip from a straw on the porch.
Monday's here, and I'm feeling it.
My weekend was rich in friendship, fun and, well, food. More of it than I'm used to. While I don't have any regrets, I did have a major craving for a healthy smoothie for dinner last night. And possibly tonight too. After multiple large meals in a row, something simple, light and full of fruits and veggies sounds perfect.
I raided my freezer and fridge last night for whatever I had on hand, and came up with a banana, strawberry, peach, spinach smoothie with skim milk and agave nectar. To be honest, it wasn't the most exciting combination.
The book "The Digest Diet" by Liz Vaccariello has some more enticing suggestions for smart smoothies that include a balance of healthy fats, fiber and other fat releasers. For tonight's smoothie, I'll be using this recipe as a base to hopefully incorporate some extra nutrition.
Around this time of year I start to crave a fresh, crisp margarita. Not a saccharine, blended abomination, but a refreshing mix of lemon and lime with just enough sugar to take the edge off the sour. Oh, and of course, tequila.
Could this longing have something to do with the calendar inching dangerously close to the 5th of May? I won't rule out Cinco de Mayo and my susceptibility to corporate marketing as a factor in my thirst. But the return of spring weather has to play a role, too.
The last time I wanted a margarita, I decided to make one at home right then and there. We didn't have any triple sec, so instead I dug out the bottle of limoncello that has been taking up space in our fridge since our honeymoon in Italy (liqueur lasts 3.5 years in the fridge, right? Wait... don't answer that.)
Expired limoncello aside, this recipe was a keeper. In fact, it was the perfect evening treat to celebrate an early Cinco de Mayo and some nice temps yesterday.
Some very random thoughts as we head into Thanksgiving week:
-Did you know that a venti Starbucks eggnog latte has 620 calories and 29 grams of fat – not including the whipped topping? Of course, that's with whole milk, but still... (The Daily Meal has a list of 6 more top-calorie holiday drinks.)
-This Thanksgiving cocktail could be considered healthy as far as cocktails go. The Tipsy Turkey is flavored with fresh roasted pumpkin, maple syrup and cinnamon. The video is pretty slick too.
-Here's your annual turkey roasting chart to help estimate how long your bird will take. I would advise you put it in the oven a little earlier than you need to just to be sure you won't keep you guests waiting (like I did!)
Last month I was so lucky as to get my hands on 25 pounds of Georgia peaches – straight from the farm to the West Allis Ace Hardware parking lot. You're probably wondering what the heck I did with all that sweet juiciness, right?
Last week I finally finished off the last of them! They were looking a little wrinkly on the outside by that time, but they still tasted fabulous, even 3 weeks later (stored in the refrigerator, of course).
I have to admit, most of the peaches were consumed by washing, slicing and enjoying as a snack. I was eating two peaches a day for a while - no regrets. I brought a bunch on our family vacation to share the wealth, but let me be clear: I ate a lot of raw peaches! So did Husband Peter.
Of course I had to make a few baked goods too. I made the most basic peach crisp to bring to a friend's house – so easy I have the recipe memorized (see below).
This is the perfect spring for tea. It's rainy, cold and dreary – exactly the type of weather that makes me want to wrap my hands around a warm drink. (Hey, I'm trying to look on the bright side here.)
In April, I joined a few friends for an afternoon tea at Spring House Tea Room in Waukesha. This was no "hey let's steep a tea bag and chat over some scones" tea. This was a full-out, four-course event with six different teas, guided by owner and resident tea expert Terry Mackay and his wife, Kerry.
Terry calls it an American Tea Party, which he says is distinct from a British High Tea. An American tea, he says, features a wide variety of tea selections and fresh foods. We like options here in the States! It's also more laid back than British High Tea. Lively conversation is required. And education about the tea is important.
This was my second time attending a tea at Spring House Tea Room, and I'd go again in a heartbeat! Each time is different – the tea house makes more than 120 blends of tea and suits each tea party to the attendees' tastes and preferences. The food is excellent - freshly prepared by Kerry while Terry entertains you in the tea room.
Sometimes, I like funny cocktail names more than the drinks themselves. This is not one of those times.
No, this time, I think both the name AND the drink are excellent.
If you're going to offer a signature cocktail at your Super Bowl party, please make it a Donald Screwdriver.
Mix up a batch and let this cocktail flow like Clay Matthews golden hair.
When we left off in my Mexican cooking class adventure, I was wandering around a mercado in Cozumel with my family and Josefina, our cooking instructor for the day, buying ingredients for the meal we would prepare at her home.
Remember all those limes?
Well you'll be happy to know they went to good use. No Mexican meal is complete without tequila, right?
No, I'm not going to give you a champagne cocktail.
But I'll give you a book that will inspire you to concoct some delicious drinks, perfect for New Year's Eve.
Champagne Cocktails: 50 Cork-Popping Concoctions and Scintillating Sparklers offers, well 50 drink recipes, with notes and tips and fun facts along the way. It's a little book, but would be a nice stocking stuffer for those who like to experiment with new alcoholic creations.
To enter, simply leave a comment below and share your cocktail of choice. I'll go first: I love sparkling wine if it's not too sweet, but unless it's a special occasion I'm more likely to order a Jack and Diet Coke.
I've had wine on my mind.
I love trying new wines, and I know there are a lot of very good, reasonably priced wines out there, but budget wine can be hit or miss.
When I buy a bottle that just isn't any good, part of me thinks, oh well, it was only $10. But another part of me thinks, darn it, there goes $10! It's no fun wasting money, even if it's not a huge amount.
With the holidays coming up, and gatherings on the horizon where many of us will want to serve wine, give wine or bring a bottle of wine, I thought this was the perfect time to share some inexpensive wine recommendations. So I turned to Facebook and Twitter and asked for your favorite wine for less than $15.
Here's my pick:
I am a big fan of Estancia Zinfandel. It's $11.99 at my local grocery store, and occasionally on sale for less. I'm hesitant to attempt to describe it since I really know very little about wine, but I would consider this one moderately full-bodied and quite smooth. I imagine it would please a wide variety of red wine drinkers.
Here are some of my favorite recipes that I've blogged about.

After receiving laser hair removal treatments, many patients want to know if the tiny red bumps that occur are normal. The answer is yes and they are called follicular edema.
The hair follicle gets hot and irritated during a laser hair removal treatment. This is normal but the resulting redness and swelling around the hair are indications that you have had a good treatment. The bumps and redness will usually resolve within a matter or hours but can last into the next day in some cases. Below is an example of what a good reaction to laser hair removal looks like. If your skin looks like this after treatment, do not fear as the outcome is normal.
To schedule a free consultation about your laser hair removal questions, give us a call today in our Torrance or Orange, CA office.

Because dermal filler injections are part art and part science, there is skill in creating the proper outcome.
One potential side effect called the Tyndall effect is created when Hyaluronic acid based products like Restylane or Juvederm are injected very near the surface of the skin. When the injections are too superficial, light can shine through the product creating a bluish or greyish haze similar to the effect seen in the photo below.
To remedy this situation for patients that come to us from other practices, we inject Hyaluronidase to dissolve the product and start the project over. To find out more about the Tyndall effect or dissolving Restylane or Juvederm from poor injection procedures, call us today.
Over the past several years, we have had patients inquire more frequently about options for improving the appearance of the genitalia. Among several concerns are ones that note the darkening of the labia majora and the decreased elasticity of the skin of the labia majora. For these issues, we have developed a suite of services to address our patients' concerns.
If the concern is the texture of the skin at the outer labia (majora), we can improve this area using a combination of fractional laser resurfacing and injection procedures. The goal is to improve the topography and texture of the labial skin through the use of the Sciton Profractional laser. In the same way we can achieve textural improvements of the skin, we can achieve tighter, more supple labial skin. The expectation would be 2-3 visits spaced weeks or months apart.
If your concern is a loss of volume in this area, dermal fillers are an excellent option. We prefer Perlane because it has excellent plumping capability. Perlane can soften the area and improve crepy looking skin while volumizing this area. Typically 2 CC's of Perlane would be used and this would last 6-12 months.
If your concern is a darkening of the labial area, we have an excellent 8% hydroquinone and/or q-switched laser option to lighten the skin. The goal is to improve on the hyperpigmentation that often exists in the labial groin area.
If you're interested in Los Angeles vaginal rejuvenation, call today for more information.
We've recently introduced (2/2015) Restylane Silk from Galderma. Restylane silk is being marketed by Galderma for lip injections as a smoother gel that's easier to inject and gives a more natural appearance than other dermal fillers.
To schedule a free consultation to learn more about Restylane Silk, call the office today.
At Celibre, we see all types of injuries and unique concerns. This was a new one for us.
A female patient came to us after having had a steroid injected into her cheek for the removal of Juvederm. While steroids are not normally used for the removal of a Hyaluronic acid based filler, this patient claimed that the physician she went to injected steroids to remove the Juvederm. In the process, the patients cheek was atrophied and this resulted in a sunken area.
To remedy this issue, we used Perlane injections to smooth the surface of the skin. Results can be seen below. For more information about Perlane injections in Los Angeles, contact us for a free consultation.

Los Angeles Restylane for Eye Bags
Under Eye bags are a big concern for many of our patients. And while surgery is always an option, many fo the patients we see are not ready for the knife. In situations where eye bags are a concern and surgery is not an option, we offer Restylane injections.
Restylane is a Hyaluronic acid product that is designed to add volume under the eyes where it has been lost. Adding volume can help to fill the hollow area under the eyes or to smooth our bumpy fat pads that look like bags.
The severity of the eye bags will determine if a patient is a suitable candidate for injection procedures. Two examples are below. The first is a female patient that was an excellent candidate and got very nice results for smoothing the loose skin below the eyes. The second candidate (male) was a good surgical candidate with much loose skin under the eye, although he was not prepared for a surgical procedure.
To learn more about call the office now.
One of the most common questions we get from our patients is what they can do to help with the tired appearance caused by dark circles under the eyes. Many of these same patients are not ready for a surgical procedure, which is a good option, but more invasive than the injections provided at Celibre Medical.
For patients that are concerned with dark circles under the eyes, we use Restylane injections. Restylane is made of Hyaluronic acid and is a water absorbing gel used to add volume under the eyes where it has been lost because of age. By injecting deep under the muscle that surrounds the eye, Restylane lifts the plane forward so that the deep recess under the eye is no longer present.
This technique improves the appearance of dark circles for two reasons. The first is that light from above no longer creates shadows under the eyes. The second is that the small blood vessel and natural color of medium skin tones can be camouflaged by the additional "padding" that the Restylane offers.
To see an example of before and after pictures of Restylane for dark circles under the eyes in Los Angeles, see below.

To find out more about how Restylane can help with your dark circles, call the office today for a free consultation.
Many hydroquinone formulations contain three ingredients - hydroquinone, Retin A and steroids. Hydroquinone works to bleach out brown spots or dark marks such as melasma, brown acne scars and brown scars - post inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH). While this formulation can be very effective for getting rid of these cosmetic concerns, there are side effects.
Many patients that use this triple formula are too sensistive to the retin A in the product. Retin A is designed to exfoliate the skin and it can cause redness, peeling and irritation. Depending on the strength of the retin A, how often it is used and also the patient sensitivity, the irritation it creates may make it too difficult to use. In this situation, our hydroquinone offering that does not contain Retin A is an excellent option. In addition, because our liquid gel formulation can be compunded at 4%, 6% or 8%, we are able to help Melasma patients that have not achieved good outcomes with traditional forumlations to succeed with ours (an example is below).
To learn more about our non-Retin A hydroquinone formulation, call the office today.
We get asked this question often by patients who have been injected at other practices and are unhappy with their results. They are looking for solutions for how to reverse Restylane or Juvederm injections and they find us their answer.
Hyaluronidase is an enzyme that is designed to break down the Hyaluronic acid gels that comprise dermal fillers such as Restylane, Perlane, Juvederm, Voluma, Belotero and others. When injected, Hyaluronidase immediately goes to work breaking down the injection product so that the patient looks the same as prior to the dermal filler injections. The procedure is has little discomfort and is quick. The results are seen between an hour and 1-2 days. Multiple injections can sometimes be required but in many cases, the first injection of Hyaluronidase dissolves the dermal filler completely.
Hyaluronidase is not effective for products such as Radiesse, Sculptra and Artefil that do not use Hyaluronic acid as a base for the product. These longer lasting fillers are not reversible with Hyaluronidase. Tade names for Hyaluronidase include Vitrase, Wydase, Amphadase and Hylenex. While we have not tried all of these products, we have found Vitrase to work very well.
To see an example of a Vitrase Hyaluronic acid based reversal of Juvederm, check the photos below. If you need to reverse a dermal filler injection, contact us today for more information.
Fractional Laser Resurfacing has been around for since 2005/2006. Since that time, there have been many improvements to the technology including changing the wavelength of the laser light to achieve better tissue absorption. This means that skin concerns like wrinkles and acne scars are more easily improved with newer fractional technologies. it also means that we can easily treat those with darker skin types, like the African American patient below that had scar revision.
In addition, newer technologies added the ability to use a function commonly referred to as "coagulation", which is a method for heating and contracting deeper dermal tissue during the resurfacing process. Using coagulation in the laser resurfacing process helps to produce the amazing eye rejuvenation results seen below. Finally, deeper penetration of newer technologies and larger sized fractional perforations allow for more significant improvements and few treatments.
To find out more about Sciton Profractional laser resurfacing in Los Angeles, contact us for a free consultation.
Dark skinned patients often ask us if laser treatments are right for them. The answer to their question is a resounding yes...if you have the right technology. Along the way, they have been told or read online that - because they are black - laser treatments are not appropriate for their skin type. This is simply not true. Dark skin types can undergo laser treatments, but additional laser technologies are necessary to offer safe and effective treatments to darker skin types.
This point is the key difference between Celibre Medical and most other cosmetic dermatology and medical spa offices. We have 10 different lasers in each of our offices and the breadth of technology allows us to offer a variety of treatments to all skin types.
If you are in Los Angeles or Orange County and are interested in laser treatments for African American skin, call the office today to schedule a free consultation.
Below find an example of a patient that underwent fractional laser resurfacing for lacerations in the forehead as a result of a car accident. This is before and after 3 Sciton Profractional laser resurfacing procedures.
We speak to patients every month that have been disappointed with the results of their laser resurfacing procedures, specifically Fraxel laser resurfacing Los Angeles.
When asked about the details of the procedure, it's very common to have the patient describe only being numbed with topical numbing cream and having little to no bleeding. These two details - the type of anesthesia and the amount of bleeding - are key to determining what kind of procedure was done and also why it may have been disappointing.
If the only anesthetic offered is a topical numbing cream, then we know that the resurfacing procedure is a very superficial one. The reason is that deep resurfacing cannot be offered without other forms of anesthetic such as valium, vicodin, dental blocks (mouth) and direct inject lidocaine (other areas) because it would be too painful. So, if you've had laser resurfacing with only a topical numbing cream, then you've had a very superficial resurfacing with limited potential benefits. The depth of the resurfacing will affect how well the acne scars are revised. If the procedure is too superficial, no bleeding will occur and results will be limited. On the other hand if significant bleeding does occur, then the procedure was deeper and results will be better.
Below is an example of what the 7 day recovery process looks like for a deep resurfacing for acne scars. If yours did not look anything like this, then it's likely you had a very superficial resurfacing procedure.
The reason our organization is so different is that we commonly offer solutions to skin issues that other facilities like ours cannot. One of the reasons is experience and the other is technology.
Hemosiderin staining is a perfect example. Recently a patient came to us after having been badly bruised from under eye injections many months prior. She could not find anyone in Los Angeles to help...until she found Celibre Medical.
Look what just a couple gentle q-switched Nd:Yg laser treatments can do to remove long term hemosiderin staining that has been left as a byproduct of injection treatments. Needless to say, our patient was thrilled to put this issue behind her. If you've got a hard to treat cosmetic skin issue, call the laser experts at Celibre Medical today.
One of the biggest fears of our patients when they consider lip injections is that they will look like they have ducklips. While this is a legitimate concern, the way to look natural when you have dermal filler injections like Restylane, Juvederm, Perlane, Radiesse and Sculptra is to find a great injector.
Injecting dermal fillers really in an artistic pursuit and it takes a keen eye and a good bit of experience to help our patients look younger and also look natural. Lori Haney, RN has been injecting at Celibre Medical since 2006. She has a sharp aesthtic eye and a soft touch.
So, if you don't want ducklips, come see an expert. Call today for an appointment with Lori Haney, RN, our lead injector.
We get calls every day from patients asking about the price of Botox. Because we are a cosmetic dermatology facility and all of our services are paid for directly by our patients, we understand how important the price of the service can be.
But one consideration that some consumers overlook when they are searching for a service like Botox Injections in Los Angeles is that they are paying as much for the expertise of their injector as they are for the product itself. As with any service, more skilled providers usually have higher prices.
To highlight this issue, we have included a case study above with a patient that came to our practice after having bad (and cheap) Botox injections for years. She had a very unnatural looking browline with accentuated arches at the outer brow. It was almost witchlike in it's appearance and was not flattering for her. To correct the situation we smooted the forehead and frown lines, but at the same time relaxed the arch of the brow so that it settled down and became more natual looking. Her forehead looked smooth and relaxed after the treatment, but without the accentuated brow arch that made her look unnatural previously.
If you are interested in balancing the cost of your Botox injections with the skill of a master injector, then you've found the right place. Call today fro a free consultation.
Injection procedures such as Restylane, Juvederm, Perlane, Radiesse and Sculptra can have marvelous benefits in helping us look our best. But they can sometimes have side effects as well.
Bruising is a primary side effect of dermal filler injections. Whether you will bruise or not during dermal filler injections depends on several factors. Your age and health, how prone to bruising you are, what product is injected, where it's injected and how it's injected all factor into whether you may bruise.
Finally, there are several ways to avoid bruises by following our pre-treatment suggestions. First, do not drink alcohol within 24 hours of your procedure. Alcohol thins the blood and contributes to bruising. Fish oil and Vitamin E also thin the blood and our recommendation is to stop taking them approximately 7 days before your treatment. Finally, many patients use baby aspirin on a daily basis and this should also be stopped a week ahead of your injection procedure.
In spite of taking these precautions some patients still bruise. But fear not. At our practice we are able to remove or reverse the effects of bruisnig within 2-3 days. We use a long pulsed yag laser to heat and disperse the blood particles below the surface of the skin. An example of bruise reversal over a 2 day period is below.
We are often asked by patients and potential patients about the Coolbeam laser (also called the Cool Laser) and how it compares to the lasers we use at our office.
We have asked the office that uses the Coolbeam laser what kind of technology it is and they let us know it is a fractionated Erbium laser. Fractionated erbium laser technology is similar regardless of the brand of the laser. The Sciton profile fractionated laser that we use at Celibre Medical uses the same type of laser light and fractionated pattern that is used in the Coolbeam laser. The office that uses the Coolbeam laser uses it for rejuvenation, stretch mark removal, scars and other services. While it is certainly a useful laser for these applications, the Coolbeam is not fundamentally different from the Sciton Profractional or other fractionated erbium lasers.
For an example of fractionated erbium treatments with the Sciton profile for acne scar patients in Los Angeles, view the photos below.

Aging around the eyes is one fo the biggest concerns for our patients. It's also one of the most difficult areas to treat. For this reason, we often use combination treatments to achieve the desired results.
In the case below, we offered three options. The first is Dysport fo rthe outer eye (crow's feet). These are the small wincing lines to the sides of the eyes, that are especially present in photos when we smile.
The second phase of the treatment plan was laser resuerfacing. We resurfacing the sides of the eyes and the undereye area to soften the fine lines.
Finally, we added dermal fillers below the eyes (Restylane) to add volume back that has been lost to the aging process.
This multi-treatment approach yields nice results for softening and diminishing the fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes.
At Celibre, we think results trump marketing. We believe in long term patient relationships, not short term scores. For this reason, we are averse to recommending (or purchasing) radio frequency devices that are marketed to "tighten" and "lift". Examples of these devices include Ulthera, Titan and Thermage. Show us tissue tightening before and after pictures and we will point out the same two issues. They are almost never past the six month mark and they are almost always with the patients head tilting down before the photo and titling up in the after photo (for neck tightening).
The problem for us is that they never live up to the expectations created when using the words "tighten " and "lift". As an alternative, we recommend cosidering surgery or even long term injections like Radiesse or Sculptra.

Explore the numerous type options, type-related features, and type-specific preferences of Adobe InDesign. Using practical, real-world examples, instructor and designer Nigel French dissects the anatomy of a typeface and defines the vocabulary of typography. The course moves from the micro to the macro level, addressing issues such as choosing page size, determining the size of margins, adjusting number columns, and achieving a clean look with baseline grids. This course takes you from laying out a page to delving into the hows and whys of typography.
Creating a number list in InDesign is fairly straightforward, but there are some potential problem areas. So let me just point out the issues involved. I want to make this track listing on the left look like what we have here on the right. So this is my starting point. Let's zoom in, and I'm going to select it and then come to my Bullets and Numbered Lists icons. When you hold down the Alt key you can click on either one of these, and you come to the same place which is the Bullets and Numbering dialog box. List Type is obviously numbers and with the Preview check box on we can see what we're going to get, and we need to make few changes to it.
I don't want the period off to the number. That's redundant. So I'm going to remove that. I can choose a different numbering style if I wish. What's problematic about the list that we have is that we have single-digit and double-digit numbers, and having them aligned on the right-hand side is going to be a little bit tricky. One way we can do that is change the format. If we go with double-digit numbers problem solved, but perhaps we don't want to do that. So how can we get our numbers to align on the right-hand side? Well, this has to do with the alignments of the bullet or number position.
I'm going to change that to Right, and nothing happens until I next put in a Left Indent amount. Now figuring on a point size of 11 points I'm going to start out with a left indent of 11 points and see where that takes me. I'll press the Tab key to move down to the next field, and yep, that looks good. What I now need to do is not do anything with the First Line Indent in this case, because we're aligning the number right, but instead change the Tab Position, currently set at 36.
I'm going to half that to 18, press my Tab key to update my preview, and that looks good. One other thing I might want to do, you see we have red numbers over here in the finished version. I can use a Character Style to apply that to the numbers and the numbers only. Now if I have one already prepared, I can choose it from there. If I don't, I can create one on the fly. New Character Style, and I can then come to the one attribute that in this case I want to change which is the Character Color.
And this time let's make it cyan, and I'll just call the Character Style name, cyan, click OK, and there's our result. All right, looking good. Now the thing about bulleted lists is that, of course, the numbers update should you reorder the text. So if select this text, and I have my drag and drop text editing on, remember that's a preference in your Type preferences, I can just drag that out there and the numbers automatically update. What I will not be able to do is actually select that number and the same is true of Bulleted Lists.
These are auto characters that you cannot select. Should you need to select them? There are rare times when you might need to select them. Then you can come to the Paragraph Styles, and first of all you can make a paragraph style so that these formats can be applied with a single-click. Having done that, you could, if you wanted to, come to this option on the Paragraph Styles panel menu > Convert number list Numbering to Text. And when you do that it's now editable text, what you have lost is that these numbers no longer auto-update, should you change the order of the text.
Most of the time there is no real reason to convert your numbers to text, rather just leave them as auto-numbers. Those are the issues involved in making a numbered list. If you want to make a multilevel numbered list, then meet me in the next movie.

All breaks for all arrivals
T&Cs apply, click here for details
The Glen area is lovely.Lake,birds,trees,wind in the trees: all a world away from city life. Bar area rather depressing , and characterless.
Fantastic place to stay all staff very helpful and the location is an ares of outstanding beauty. I will be returning in September.
location was good, pool small so was disappointed for the size of the campsite . clubroom small but luckily it wasn't busy. Had a lovely 4 days there and would come again . :)
Excellent holiday would definitely go again. Lovely site - we were down in the Glen which was very peaceful and suited us, but I imagine with children it would be preferable to be on the main site nearer all the facilities.
Thurston was easy to find, Reception staff very helpful,Facilities good.
Really enjoyed the holiday. The lodge was lovely.
We were most impressed by the caravans and the beautiful surroundings, however this was not matched by the helpfulness of the staff in the bar and the evening entertainment lounge who we found to be unaccommodating and rude. This marred an otherwise pleasant trip.
The park is in a good location not far from Edinburgh, it was kept clean.
The staff were all friendly and helpful.
I would stay their again.
amazing holiday, best entertainment, friendly, community feel, booking again !
A great place for a young family. Good location with some fab beaches to explore nearby
The lodge itself was lovely and although not 'luxurious' was more than ample and a great base from which we did trips to Newcastle, Berwick, Alnwick & Edinburgh. Thurston Manor was unfortunately a big disappointment.
The facilities were limited and the little that was there was in great need of renewal / upgrading.
The playpark and facilities for the kids in central building were awful.
Loved our lodge right on the lake not sure I would have enjoyed being closer to the main centre as it was very busy but the lakeside lodge was really beautiful and peaceful. Would definitely go back.
I took my granddaughter to the swimming pool and I asked the staff member if we could have a ball to play with and his reply was no it's to early, this was at 9.45am and we were rtf he only 2 people in the pool at this time, his manner was abrupt, this happened on 2 occasions,myself and my husband went on this weekend holiday with the family to potentially buying a caravan, but will not recommended this site to vCard anyone
Lovely site caravan top quality.
We were lucky enough to get a lodge right beside the lake which was great entertainment for my 1 year old.
The lodge was spacious and clean, with everything we needed. Close proximity to various beaches and as its just off the A1, very easy to get to. If I had one small issue, it would be the pool and it's setup.
overall a nice break and we would probably go back.

1991 Geo PrizmVisitor, Miami, FL, April 29, 2012 14:08super good i love it
1991 Geo PrizmVisitor, Boulder, CO, November 25, 2011 11:58A relative gave me a 1991 Geo Prizm in Sep 2009. It sat in a garage for 2 years without moving. Replaced battery, oil, spark plugs, distributor cap & wiring harness, and filled it up with premium gas to mix with the aged gas. Has run smoothly ever since. I quickly found out that this was one of the most reliable cars ever made. After reading this and other forums, I'm excited to get this little car to 250k+ miles. Previous Repairs: At 50k I replaced the passenger side Transaxle and replaced tran fluid ($120). At 52k I flushed the coolant system ($20). At 55k miles I replaced all 4 tires ($275). At 60k I replaced the exhaust system ($300). At 65k I replaced the headliner (real easy to do yourself) ($40). At 68k I replaced the rear wheel cylinders ($220). Needed Repairs: Took it in for a 70k mile checkup and I need: to replaced the the timing belt, water pump & valve cover, and all other belts (AC, Serpentine, Alternator, Power steering, h2o pump) ($450 for all). All 4 struts are leaking and need replaced ($400+). Also need radiator and thermostat ($220). Rear drum brakes will need to be done Overall this has been a very affordable car. It seems that I've spent a lot on repairs, but it was all preventative maintenance, which is well worth it on a car that was free and has the potential to get 200k+ miles. Additionally, the parts are inexpensive and most repairs can be done by seasoned backyard mechanics (also cheap for mechanics to work on). I would recommend this car to anyone who could care less about the status their vehicle brings them. I feel bad for my coworkers and their BMWs & Audis ($1200 to replace timing belt vs $450 on Prizm). I only wish the motor had a little more oomph. I drive it into the Colorado Rockies and it certainly struggles up some of those mountain passes. It's fine if you can build up your momentum (or if its in the snow and everyone's slow) but if you're going around sharp turns the engine really slows and you'll be flooring it going about 40mph - which does not sound like the engine and transmission are having a fun time. I'm thinking after all the above repairs are taken care of, I'm going to put in a cold air intake, manual cooling fan switch and get rid of as much weight as possible (seats, excessive trim) to increase performance and efficiency. I'm also planning to remove all the interior trim and insulate it for a much quieter ride (did that between the roof and the headliner and you can really tell the difference). Be smart. Drive Geo.
1991 Geo PrizmVisitor, Coalinga, CA, October 01, 2011 14:47THESE CARS WERE BUILT TO LAST ONLY IF YOU REALLY DO TAKE CARE OF THEM. THIS GEO HAS 175000 ON THE ENGINE. TIMING BELT CHANGED ONCE. OIL CHANGES EVERY 3500-4000 MILES ALONG WITH THE FILTER. 27 MPG. IF I COULD BUY A NEW GEO RIGHT OFF THE SHOW FLOOR, I'D BUY TWO. GOOD COMMUTING CAR AND VERY RELIABLE OF COURSE NOTHING LASTS FOREVER NOT EVEN HUMAMS. JR
1991 Geo PrizmVisitor, Chapel Hill, NC, December 06, 2010 14:191991 Geo Prizm. Have 239,000 miles and still going strong. Does not burn a drop of oil. Had the transmission replaced at around 100,000 when the after drive ran dry (most auto dealers do not check this for fluid, one even told me it didn't have an afterdrive!)Has had new timing belt and numerous starters etc. But this car is incredibly reliable. I keep putting new tires on it thinking it is the last pair. The only nagging problem it has: when it gets cold it won't crank, you have to hold the key on start for up to a minute to get it to crank.

Uganda beat visiting Mauritania 2-0 in an exciting AFCON 2015 fixture in Kampala, Brian Majwega and Geoffrey Massa the heroes on a Saturday afternoon that ensured the Cranes took a giant step towards the group phase of qualification and remained on course to ending their 36 year absence from the Nations Cup.
The Cranes showed their early intentions as they dominated opening exchanges but Mauritania remained composed thwarting all attempts by the hosts who were under pressure to perform before an expectant sell-out home crowd. The visitors, who replaced disqualified Equatorial Guinea were good value for their first half which ended goalless.
Brian Majwega broke the deadlock 4 minutes on resumption of the second half before Massa put the icing on the cake with a sublime finish in the 69th minute.
Cranes keeper South African based Denis Onyango had an easy day in the office as he was rarely tested as the Cranes defence thwarted all Mauritania attempts centered around Khalil Ahmed who attempted a number of runs at the Uganda back-line.
Inspirational left-back Godfrey Walusimbi who plies his trade for Gor Mahia in the Kenyan premier league was in a class of his own as he commanded the left flank with superb authority one of which assisted Massa with the second goal.
Captain Andrew Mwesigwa who had a slow start to the game quickly established himself and played a key role launching the Cranes forward.
Youthful Farouq Miya of Vipers was handed his debut by coach Micho and did not dissapoint as he showed flashes of why he was highly rated.
Mauritania will need a massive fight back to upstage Uganda at home in a fortnight when the two sides meet for the second leg.

Behind your electronic window to the world usually lies some pretty complicated technology. Choices are difficult to make, and usually you are guided by the experience of your chosen supplier and their technical skills. Open-Source Software, (that's software designed and developed by a network of professional enthusiasts worldwide), has proven to be the success story of the internet world. In its latest evolution, web design platforms like Wordpress, Drupal and Joomla offer customers power, flexibility and reliability. Read more about the open-source revolution at: http://www.opensource.org/.
Writing software is an expensive business, and for those of you who can remember Y2K, even the smallest error can lead to big problems like security flaws or financial errors. Working with open source technology provides a host of benefits.
Wikipedia on Open Source
"The OSS development approach has helped produce reliable, high quality software quickly and inexpensively. Besides, it offers the potential for a more flexible technology and quicker innovation. It is said to be more reliable since it typically has thousands of independent programmers testing and fixing bugs of the software. It is flexible because modular systems allow programmers to build custom interfaces, or add new abilities to it and it is innovative since open source programs are the product of collaboration among a large number of different programmers. The mix of divergent perspectives, corporate objectives, and personal goals speeds up innovation."

LONDON - Preventing obesity and smoking can save lives, but it doesn't save money, researchers reported Monday.It costs more to care for healthy people who live years longer, according to a Dutch study that counters the common perception that preventing obesity would save governments millions of dollars. 'It was a small surprise,' said Pieter van Baal, an economist at the Netherlands' National Institute for Public Health and the Environment, who led the study. 'But it also makes sense. If you live longer, then you cost the health system more.' In a paper published online Monday in the Public Library of Science Medicine journal, Dutch researchers found that the health costs of thin and healthy people in adulthood are more expensive than those of either fat people or smokers. Van Baal and colleagues created a model to simulate lifetime health costs for three groups of 1,000 people: the 'healthy-living' group (thin and non-smoking), obese people, and smokers. The model relied on 'cost of illness' data and disease prevalence in the Netherlands in 2003. The researchers found that from age 20 to 56, obese people racked up the most expensive health costs. But because both the smokers and the obese people died sooner than the healthy group, it cost less to treat them in the long run. On average, healthy people lived 84 years. Smokers lived about 77 years, and obese people lived about 80 years. Smokers and obese people tended to have more heart disease than the healthy people. Cancer incidence, except for lung cancer, was the same in all three groups. Obese people had the most diabetes, and healthy people had the most strokes. Ultimately, the thin and healthy group cost the most, about $417,000, from age 20 on. The cost of care for obese people was $371,000, and for smokers, about $326,000. The results counter the common perception that preventing obesity will save health systems worldwide millions of dollars. Obesity experts said that fighting the epidemic is about more than just saving money. 'The benefits of obesity prevention may not be seen immediately in terms of cost savings in tomorrow's budget, but there are long-term gains,' said Neville Rigby, spokesman for the International Association for the Study of Obesity. 'These are often immeasurable when it comes to people living longer and healthier lives.' Van Baal described the paper as 'a book-keeping exercise,' and said that governments should recognize that successful smoking and obesity prevention programs mean that people will have a higher chance of dying of something more expensive later in life. The study, paid for by the Dutch Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sports, did not take into account other potential costs of obesity and smoking, such as lost economic productivity or social costs. 'We are not recommending that governments stop trying to prevent obesity,' van Baal said. 'But they should do it for the right reasons.'

Originally written on Pirates Prospects | Last updated 2/13/13
Top pitching prospect Jameson Taillon is making his debut in Major League Spring Training this year, although realistically it is only for the experience, with Taillon having no chance of making the major league team on Opening Day. The right-hander will go to Double-A to start the 2013 season, and if he pitches the way he did at the end of the 2012 season, he should find his way to Indianapolis by the end of the year. The Pittsburgh Pirates provided a video interview of Taillon, talking about Spring Training, his 2012 season, and a few other topics. The video is below, followed by some notes. **Taillon noted that he doesn't have a shot of breaking camp with the team, but is hoping for a shot later in the year. **He talked about having more freedom in Double-A, including an interesting quote about "not having to worry about everyone trying to mess with you". **When it comes to pitching prospects, there seems to be a running joke among Pirates fans that every pitcher has to be 6′ 5″ or taller with a projectable fastball. Taillon mentioned that the same running joke exists among the pitchers in the system and with other teams . When asked about other pitchers outside of himself and Gerrit Cole, he mentioned Clay Holmes, Tyler Glasnow, and Luis Heredia as huge guys with big fastballs and a good future.

Stephen Hawking has been chosen to give the Reith Lectures this year to unravel the complexities of black holes. The lectures, which will be broadcast in the autumn, were announced as part of a new season of BBC Radio 4 programmes that will also include Glenda Jackson's first acting role for 20 years and Miles Jupp's appearance to replace Sandi Toksvig as host of The News Quiz.

The 1893 Norman House

Women Who Made a Difference
This house illustrates how successfully the Greek Revival form could be reduced and simplified in the one-story house.
The principal characteristic of the Greek Revival evident in the Norman House is the floor plan of a central hallway with identical rooms on each side. Other characteristics include the front columns supporting a classic pediment, and the rectangular transom and side lights.
This house typifies many of the Texas residences between 1850 and 1890. Originally it had a detached kitchen and other outbuildings. The historical Norman House, built around 1883, was owned by three families.
It was probably constructed by Aurelia and Gilbert LaCour, who sold the house in 1887 to B.F. Cameron. W.T. Norman, a prominent Liberty attorney, purchased the home in 1910. His family occupied and owned the home until it was donated to the Atascosito Historical Society by Miss Edna Norman in 1988. Miss Norman provided, in her will, an endowment to restore and maintain the home.
After studying various possibilities, the Atascosito Historical Society donated the house to the Texas State Library and Archives Commission as an addition to the Sam Houston Center complex. The house was moved on May 20, 1992, and restoration was completed in June 1994.
The Norman House features exhibits in an historical house setting and is open to the public for tours. Current feature attractions in the house are the "Victorian Parlor," a display entitled "A Woman's Work is Never Done" on housekeeping and food processing artifacts, and a Depression-era exhibit featuring glassware, furnishings, and games. Please contact the Center for tour information. Tours must be arranged two weeks in advance.
History of the Families
The LaCour Family
Gilbert LaCour was born ca. 1818 in Louisiana and married Aurelia P. They had a son, Y.O., born ca. 1848 in Louisiana, and by 1851 they were living in Liberty, Texas.
In 1852 the elder LaCour became a partner with Byrd Holland and others in the ownership of the Sour Lake Springs Hotel which lasted until 1856. A prominent citizen throughout his life, Gilbert LaCour was elected a member of the Liberty City Council in 1884. Aurelia and Gilbert LaCour probably built the house around 1883.
The LaCours sold the property to Benjamin Franklin Cameron in 1887. He was born in 1840 or 1841 in Alabama. During the Civil War he served as captain of the militia organized in 1861 to guard the home front.
According to an affidavit, Captain Cameron came to Liberty in 1865 and boarded with H.C. Stone. Around 1865, Cameron married Adelia Ann Wrigley, who was born in Liberty in 1852 and a member of a well-known family. (Her father, James Wrigley served as Liberty County Treasurer from 1869 to 1871 and as Mayor of Liberty in 1850 to 1851, in 1858, and in 1882. He obtained the rank of colonel in the Confederate army. Wrigley was a commission merchant on the Trinity River in Liberty and a charter member of the Liberty Masonic Lodge.)
In 1870, Cameron was a dry goods clerk who had accumulated $2500 in real estate and $1000 in personal property. By 1880, he was a farmer and county government office holder with at least four children: eight-year-old Mattie, five-year-old Frank W., three-year-old Nina, and 18-month-old Charley.
Cameron served as the Liberty County Clerk from 1874 to 1893, the District Clerk from 1874 to 1875, from 1880 to 1893, and as the Texas State Representative serving District #36 (Tyler, Hardin, Liberty, Jefferson, Orange, and Chambers counties) from 1895 to 1896. He was initiated into the Masonic Lodge in 1868, and served in a number of leadership positions including secretary from 1869 to 1870, worshipful master in 1883, and treasurer in 1897. He also held the office of dictator of the Knights of Honor, a group which aided widows and orphans.
In 1887 Cameron and several other men had a merchandise business in Dayton and, as contractors, built several homes in Liberty. Even the Cameron family home had business functions, as it was used not only as a dwelling place but also as an eating establishment and as a boarding house for a small number of people. For example, in 1900 Thomas Branch, a single lawyer, and Jim A. DeBlanc and his wife and young daughter boarded with the Cameron family.
Cameron and his family took an active part in the religious life of the day. He and his family were active Methodists until 1893. He served as Sunday school superintendent and his wife, Adelia, organized a Sunday school class, led a music program, helped with fund raising suppers, and served as an officer in the Liberty Missionary Society.
Mrs. Cameron's ill health may have had an important impact on the Cameron family's religious life. Mr. and Mrs. Cameron frequently traveled to health resorts which offered mineral baths, such as Sour Lake. At Sour Lake they may have heard an Episcopal speaker which inspired them to change religious faiths. In any case, shortly after their return from Sour Lake, a missionary priest stayed at the Cameron home in May 1893.
As Cameron was the dictator of the Knights of Honor, he facilitated using the Masonic hall for Episcopal services. In fact, after Cameron and his son, Frank were confirmed in October 1893, Cameron himself conducted the church services in 1894.
The Camerons played an active role in the church. Frank Cameron played Romeo in a musical concert which was put on to raise funds for the church in 1896. In the same concert Frank Cameron and his future wife, Gertie Steusoff, performed a number called "Before and After."
In 1897 a Japanese tea benefit was held at the Cameron home.
Mrs. B.F. Cameron died March 8, 1903. Her life was not an easy one. She would have been married around the age of sixteen. She had had nine children, and by the time of her death she had buried six of them. She may have felt burdened by operating a boarding house out of her own home.
Mr. Cameron remarried in 1906. He sold the house to W.T. Norman in 1910 and relocated to San Antonio where he died in 1914. He was buried in the Liberty City Cemetery.
W.T. (Wilber Tatem) Norman's paternal grandparents were John Simeon Norman of Norfolk, Virginia and Elizabeth Old of Elizabeth City, North Carolina. His father, Hollowell Old (H.O.) Norman, was born in 1840 in North Carolina and in 1858 married Emma Lucy Tatem.
H.O. and Emma Lucy Norman moved to Tennessee where H.O. Norman graduated from Cumberland Law School and worked as an attorney. While living in Tennessee they had seven children. Wilber Tatem was the fifth child, born in Memphis, Tennessee, on December 15, 1869.
Around 1888, after the death of Emma, the family, except for the eldest daughter, moved to Texas, settling in Shepherd, in San Jacinto County. W.T. married Katherine Wasson of Summerfield, Louisiana. Katherine "Kitty" Wasson Norman was born in Summerfield, Louisiana around 1874. She bore seven children, over a 22-year period: Wasson (1896-1901), Hollie E. (1898-1991), Elizabeth (1900-1980), Edna Ruth (1903-1991), W.T. "Dub" Norman, Jr. (1913-), Morris S. (1915-), and William "Ole Bill" Norman (1918-1979). The last three of the Norman children were born in the Norman house. A capable seamstress, Kitty made much of the family's clothing.
W.T. Norman worked at a variety of occupations before settling on a legal career. At one time he worked as a tie maker, using a broad ax to chop ties for the crossties for the railroad. In 1900, Norman's occupations were listed as farmer and preacher. By 1910 he was working at a livery stable which served as an early-day taxi service, transporting customers to cities such as Houston and Anahuac.
Later in life, his interest in religion became an avocation and not profession, as he continued to serve as a lay minister for the First Baptist Church in Liberty for many years and often held religious activities at the Norman home. His wife did not share his fondness for that particular faith and, perhaps due to his wife's influence, all of the children were raised in the Methodist church.
Norman followed in his father's footsteps and became an attorney. Like his father, he graduated from Cumberland Law School in Tennessee. By 1911 he served as Liberty County Justice of the Peace, a position he held until 1914. In 1915 he advertised that he was a real estate and land dealer, in addition to being an Attorney at Law. He practiced law throughout his life.
He died on August 16, 1950 at age 81, after a long illness. He passed away at the family home. His widow Kitty died in the hospital on September 1959 at the age of 85. After Kitty's death, the house was no longer used as a residence, although Edna Norman continued to maintain the property and preserved the residence. The house is dedicated to Miss Edna Norman.

Well shit, your a good looking dude.
Well shit, your a good looking dude.
Im not sure why but the phrase "bitch tits" turns me on.
So... there's a way I can prove I haven't been the greasy dbag at the bar/club- I'm too much of a wuss at those establishments to be that way. So, with that beng said: I frequent a place where it seems almost every time I go there, there's this unbelievably lovely lady that I see there as well. Stinkbutt knows of this place. So. After a year+ of seeing this girl there, I finally muster up the balls to say "hi" tonight. We make small talk, exchange names (because we all know "Gretchen" is a great name for a woman of Asian descent), and I try to get to know her a little. She's seeing someone. Maybe she really is. Maybe she always was. But maybe if i hit on her months ago she wasn't. But maybe I crashed and burned and she either never had any interest or I just had nothing good to say and decided she had no interest. Kinda bummed. Time for a dating site. If y'all wanna ridicule me for that one time... I deserve it...
I just assumed "seeing someone" either means she really is (although I don't think I've ever seen him), or it's the polite way of saying "get the fuck away from me, psycho"
Yeah be a douche and live a day as rts
Fuck a 6 like Guadita that personality adds at least 3 for me

I think sexually speaking, I would rate my experiences with Guedi to be about a four. Would have been an eight, but she stole all my Norcos while she was going down on me and then "conveniently" fell asleep right before the anal was going to commence.
Well maybe the ice wasn't broken but I at least introduced myself... for better or worse
For better or for worse? What's so fucking bad about introducing yourself? The world's not going to end.
I agree with you. Which is why I packed condoms and a change of clothes for tonight's date. And even shaved my balls.
Go get 'em, iceyhotstuff!
...How does one nonchalantly bring a change of clothes on a date?
I thought I would leave that in my car trunk. MIND BLOWING I KNOW.
Leave it in the car?
Jinx. You owe me a Coke in April, Icey.
Oh, I forgot people have cars. Hahahaaa.
Fuck it ALL up is exactly what we want him to do, Randy.

Perhaps even Sandy Alomar Jr. would consider picking Terry Francona over himself. Alomar and Francona are both reported to be interviewing for the Indians' managerial opening, but that didn't stop Alomar from heaping a ton of praise on Francona in advance of each candidates' sit-down with the Cleveland front office. Alomar, who is currently serving as the Tribe's interim manager following the firing of Manny Acta, may ultimately feel that he's the best man for the job, but he clearly recognizes that his resume doesn't quite stack up with Francona's. "I don't have the resume that Terry has," Alomar said,...

I do not know if this will help you with investigation but I have geforce 6150 which belongs to 6x00 series and works OK. So not all geforces 6 are bad. Maybe this is because my geforce as integrated graphics has no onboard VRAM and uses system memory as pseudo VRAM? I set 64MB for framebuffer in BIOS.
There is no speed difference between firefox, kwrite, kedit, kate and other apps. Everything runs with same speed. KDE 3.5.3, qt 3.3.5, xorg 6.9.0, RenderAccel="1", Athlon64 3000+ Venice, 4x256MB RAM, Asus A8N-VM CSM.
I have the same drawing speed on second machine: same software config, AthlonXP 2500+ Barton, 2x256MB Twinbank, Abit NF7-S v2.0, FX5200 AGP with 64MB VRAM.
Geforce 6150 and geforce FX5200 looks the same in Linux. It is sad that new and old generation are the same. The top feature of geforce 6 family - purevideo does not exist in Linux. Very bad. DVDs with TV shows recordings looks ugly because deinterlacing is none. Where is this advanced deinterlacing of geforce6?

Please read this! It was a ride from the airport to Hertz. PERIOD I will delete unread any further request for a review.
October 2014
The driver was right outside of the airport when I exited the terminal. No wait time. I guess I just timed it right. The trip was during commute time, so there was a lot of traffic. He seemed to know some shortcuts, which helped.

Since the new Colt offense won't demand quite as much of him (except for winning games and winning games late!) I see him having another great year.
Originally written on The Penalty Flag | Last updated 6/24/13
No longer a rookie, one would think the pressure would subside. However, the pressure for Andrew Luck may never dissipate. Replacing Peyton Manning and the legacy left behind, the Indianapolis Colts second year star still has his work cut out for him. In fact, one could say expectations are even larger after the Colts miraculously made the playoffs behind the Rookie star. Without the constant motivation of Chuck Pagano, the Colts will now look towards their second-year leader... Read more

Vietnam-Laos-Thailand-Cambodia... On Minsks
View Single Post
Joined: Jan 2010
Location: Bay Area, California
Oddometer: 92
Into Laos!
Once through the border (with our new 10 day visas), we headed on up the road, which was a very steep, but very well paved section of twisty road. I kept day dreaming about coming back in a sports car or on a fun bike... I had lots of time to day dream because I weigh 185lbs, my backpack weighed 100lbs, and my motorcycle had
6hp. At sea level. In 1974. So I was not moving briskly. Think "jogging pace" and you've pretty much got the idea. To make matters worse, the other two Minsks had a definite horsepower advantage on mine. At first they were just a bit ahead of me, but after 15 or 20 minutes of relentless climbing, I couldn't even see them any more, plus I think my bike got slower once it got good and hot (overheated).
So it goes without saying that the first flat section of road that I saw, I thought "I'd better try to make up for some lost time!" Friends too far ahead to see, just heading into a small village of grass huts, and perhaps 1/8th mile of flat straight road ahead of me, I wound out first, second, then third gear, reaching speeds upwards of 30 mph! I was probably most of the way to 40 mph by the end of the straight. I was REALLY moving now, I'd catch those bastards in no time...
Approaching the corner at the end of the straightaway, I had good sight lines and plenty of time to assess: An uphill right-hander, good camber, not too tight, clean pavement. Go wide on entry, look for my apex. Lean in a bit, but not too much, and -
I low-sided the bike, but I hadn't leaned the thing over any farther than it would lean when parked on the side stand! I went down on my right shoulder, then the side of my face (I love my full face helmet!) As I was skidding to a stop on the pavement, I saw my pocket knife go bouncing off into the distance and I thought "Great, now how am I going to open beers". I stood up shook myself off, found my Chatterbox (which had come off my helmet, but wasn't broken!) and plugged it back in and sort of shouted "I'M DOWN!! STOP AND WAIT!"
It was at this point that I realized that my fantastic display of (30 mph) speed followed by a noisy crash had not gone unnoticed by the Mhong villagers. I looked around and there were people everywhere! I gave a wave, and they returned befuddled stares. I wandered around for a minute until I found my pocket knife, then picked up the Minsk, which was hemorrhaging fuel from the cap and the carb. I figured I would have a few more minutes of embarrassment while the bike would refuse to start, but it started on the first kick! Yeah, Minsk!!
I caught up with Aivars and Larisa a few hundred yards up the road, and we hung out by the side of the road for a while to make sure i didn't have any injuries, then got back on the road.
Larisa snapped this picture while waiting for me to catch up
For advrider
Not finding any place to stay, we ended up riding until after dark that night, it was the first time we experienced Minsk headlights. You would probably be better off duct taping a Fig Newton to the handlebars and hoping the moonlight bounces off of it and onto the pavement...
We stopped for the night in Phonsavan, very tired from a long day, and planned to go out and see the Plain of Jars the next day.

Recipe by Karl Castonguay
"So easy even a husband can do it!"
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.
Show ingredients on sale

Watch video tips and tricks
3 tablespoons
2 1/2 cups
1 teaspoon
1 teaspoon
black pepper
1 (8 ounce) package
Cheddar cheese, shredded
4 cups
This recipe would have been great if I'd actually read the recipe right. I cooked the macaroni before putting it in the pan which resulted in a large, milky mess. I could tell by the few top pieces that made it, that it would have tasted good had I done it correctly. Now I know to use raw macaroni for the next time and I do plan on trying again! Oh well...OOPS!
I decided to try this recipe for myself even though one previous rater said it didn't turn out right, and others said it was great. I was very disappointed. It was "milky" and "watery" with a cottage cheese consistancy. Would never make again.

This is the BEST macaroni and cheese ever! I used cheddar and jack cheese and added some garlic & onion powder. REMEMBER--use UNCOOKED macaroni, not cooked. So easy and great homemade flavor. You have got to try this.
Being a budget-savvy college student, macaroni & cheese is a pretty common meal to my kind. I had the pasta and a package of cheese, I was going to just boil the pasta, drain, and add the cheese, but I'm pretty sure the results would've been clumpy and undesirable. So when I stumbled upon this recipe, I was psyched to see that I already had all the ingredients, and that it was easy and quick to prepare. I just threw it together, hit the books (actually the video games, but "the books" sounds more responsible) and an hour later had a good meal whose leftovers lasted me a few days. And to add some more nutrition, I had it w/ a little frozen broccoli and cheese on the side (Mom should be proud). Overall, this is a simple and tasty dish that most people probably already the the ingredients for.
I loved this recipe! I made it with 15 servings for a family gathering and everyone loved it. The only changes I made were to use less salt, instead of just cheddar I used monterey jack also and cover it while baking. From covering the pan there wasn't any of the crunchy stuff on the top and it was really cheesy and soft. Before serving I stirred it to mix up the cheese and milk on the bottom of the pan, added more cheese to the top and re-covered to let the cheese melt on the way to grandma's house!
This is a good recipe. I believe that for those who found it to be too milky and watery they should have let it sit out of the oven for about ten minutes giving it time to sit up.
This is EXACTLY how Mom made her Macaroni and Cheese only she used shredded gov'ment cheese. I get the same result now if I use half Velveeta, half sharp cheddar cheese. Comfort food at it's best. When I make this, my family inhales it. If you have a larger family or want seconds, best double the recipe. Follow the directions exact and it will come out exactly as it should--do not peek at your dish, leave it be for that whole hour it's baking.
This is as good as any "homestyle, southern comfort food" recipe I have ever tried. Fluffy and golden on the top. And so easy, not to have to boil the macaroni! I used small shells. Perfect. Keeper!!!
