This invention relates to lyophilic polyurethane foam materials. Such materials have particular application as surgical dressings.
Dressing materials designed for wounds must have several properties; one is that a dressing should be absorbent to remove exudate from the wound and at the same time be capable of protecting the wound from injury as well as reducing the risk of infection thereof by harmful bacteria. Furthermore, wound dressing materials must be free of toxic substances which may be absorbed into the wound.
Known dressings, such as cotton lint, cotton wool pads or cotton/rayon wool pads faced with non-woven materials, have good absorbent qualities, but their surface fibres tend to adhere to the wound or to absorb the scab-forming serum so that they actually become embedded in the scab as it coagulates and hardens. Thus, if these dressings are removed to allow inspection and treatment of the wound, the wound tissue and/or the scab may be damaged thus retarding the healing process of the body or even re-opening the wound.
Attempts have been made to provide wound dressings of fully occlusive materials such as polythene and while such dressings provide a satisfactory skin regeneration environment in the vicinity of the wound, it is essential to apply them to a wound in a sterile state under sterile conditions to prevent harmful bacteria breeding close to or in the wound; this material does not absorb exudate satisfactorily, thus causing pooling in the wound which is not desirable.
Processes for subjection of polyurethane foams to heat and pressure are well known in the prior art. It is to be understood that the present invention does not claim as novel such processes in general, but rather provides a disclosure enabling certain polyurethane foams to be rendered lyophilic by application of a heat/pressure treatment.
An example of a prior art process for crushing a polyurethane foam, described in British Patent Specification No. 1,065,994, is one which comprises crushing the dry body of a polyurethane foam irreversibly at an elevated temperature, preferably betwen 300°F and 400°F and preferably under a pressure of 4 tons per square inch.
Such a process is not confined to foam cells adjacent a surface of the foam; one requirement which is specified is the necessity of heat the entire thickness of the foam to the required temperature range so as to obtain a predominate amount of crushed cells unlike the present invention in which heat may be applied directly to one surface. Furthermore, the product from the said process is intended for lamination to a textile material, for example, a woven or knitted material to provide a dimensional stabilizer while adding crease resistance and thermal insulation. The said specification makes no reference to the foam having any absorbent properties which is in accordance with the fact that such an application would require that the crushed foam product should not have lyophilic or absorbent characteristics. The above two factors distinguish the nature and function of the crushed foam of U.S. Pat. No. 1,065,994 from the present applicant's invention.
The prior art also provides examples of compressed polyurethane foams used for surgical dressings. One such example is the product described in British Patent Specification No. 1,253,845, which product comprises a substrate of one or more sheets of compressed cellular plastic material, the substrate having one face relatively more highly compressed than the other face, the less highly compressed face being provided with an adhesive. The less highly compressed face of that dressing is therefore intended for contact with the wound and the more highly compressed face is said to be substantially impermeable to water. Thus the compression taught by the above Patent has the effect of rendering the treated surface non-absorbent and is in contrast to the process of the present invention which renders the treated surface lyophilic.
A further example of a wound dressing prepared from compressed polyurethane foam is that described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,157,178, wherein the dressing comprises a body of elastic skeletonized plastic foam, the portion of the body for positioning adjacent a wound area being compressed to provide a shined surface for contact with a wound, said portion being only a small proportion of the thickness of said body. The product is however, substantially different to the product of the present invention. One of the primary objects of the above U.S. Pat. is to provide a dressing which will provide essentially free exposure of the wound to the air and to this end a "skeletonized" (or reticulated) foam is specified, that is a foam in which the membranes have been removed to a substantial extent, thereby leaving an open three dimensional skeletal structure. Furthermore, the prior patent teaches that the purpose of the denser membrane portion of the foam dressing is to provide a very smooth surface for contact with the wound, rather than to provide an absorbent surface. Indeed it is stated that because the foam is hydrophobic it must be made wettable, and this is accomplished by dipping the foam in a solution of a wetting agent. It is also stated (in column 5, lines 35-36) that the dense bottom layer on the dressing in fact helps the exudate from the wound not to penetrate the dressing too easily.
It will be seen therefore that the teaching of U.S. Pat. No. 3,157,178 is in contrast to the present invention in that the absorbency of the dressing is provided by treatment with a wetting agent; and the function of the compressed portion is to provide a smooth surface adjacent the wound and also a partial barrier to the absorption of exudate, whereas the dressing of the present invention is characterized by a lyophilic surface without the use of a wetting agent.
According to the present invention there is provided a polyurethane foam material the foam cells adjacent at least one surface of which are irreversibly partially collapsed relative to foam cells remote from said surface, said partially collapsed foam cells having the effect of rendering said surface lyophilic.
The foam cells adjacent said lyophilic surface have been defined as "irreversibly partially collapsed". It is known that polyurethane foam can be reversibly deformed or compressed to reduce the thickness up to a certain extent, but will substantially recover its original thickness upon washing or steam heating. The present invention relates to compression of the surface of the foam beyond this predetermined extent, that is to an "irreversible" process. The cells defined as "partially collapsed" have their wall members deformed to produce smaller cells, but it is important that the cells are not completely collapsed or fused. Such an effect is produced by controlling the heat/pressure/temperature parameters employed.
Very preferably a non-reticulated foam is utilized in the present invention, although experiments have shown that certain reticulated foams can be rendered lyophilic by appropriate selection of the heat/pressure/temperature parameters.
By the term "non-reticulated foam" is meant a foam consisting of numerous individual cells which are constructed of a three-dimensional skeletal structure formed by the intersecting cell wall members and of interconnected strands with the membranes or windows joined to the skeletal structure such that they partition adjacent cells. The skeletal structure in such foams is usually thicker than the membranes or windows. Conversely, by the term "reticulated foam" is meant one in which most or all of the membranes or windows are absent and substantially only the skeletal structure is present.
By the term "absorbent" is meant that the polyurethane foam will suck up, drink or take in aqueous based liquids in a manner and amount substantially similar to conventional cotton gauze or cotton wool wound dressings. In contrast, the term "non-absorbent" is meant a foam which is substantially hydrophobic and will not suck up, drink or take in aqueous based liquids.
The foam article of the present invention is preferably in the form of a sheet, strip or ribbon and both of the major surfaces thereof may be of increased density; where both surfaces of the foam are of increased density, the densities of the two surfaces may be of the same or different.
According to a further aspect of the present invention, there is provided a process for making a polyurethane foam material which comprises applying pressure and heat to a surface of a piece of polyurethane foam to irreversibly partially collapse the foam cells adjacent said surface to an extent such that said surface is rendered lyophilic. Said heat and pressure may be applied to said surface by means of a heated plate or roller or the surface may be subjected to a pressure step following a heat applying step. The heating step may be carried out using any suitable heating means such as for example infrared radiation or microwaves.
The surface of the foam which is to be treated is heated to a temperature not less than the softening point of the foam but less than the fusion temperature of the foam. This varies for different foams and the surface temperature of the foam may suitably be from 200°C to 300°C depending on the time it is subjected to the heat. Preferably the applied temperature is just below the fusion temperature of the foam and is desirably from 200°C to 270°C.
The applied pressure may for example be from almost 0 up 200 lbs/sq. in. and is preferably from 5 to 100 lbs./sq. in.
During the combined pressure and heat treatment a sheet of release material, for example paper treated with silicones, may be placed between the heating means and the surface of the foam to prevent adhesion of the foam material to the plate of roller. In a treatment in which pressure is applied after the foam has been treated the release material may be employed only for the pressure application.
The initial piece of foam may be of any suitable thickness but is preferably from 1cm to 10cm in thickness and is preferably modified by heat and pressure to a final thickness of from 0.5cm to 5cm, preferably with a compressed lyophilic surfce thickness of up to 5mm. To obtain the desired lyophilic result, the foam material is usually reduced to about half its original thickness. However, this is not essential; very thin pieces of foam material approximately 3mm thickness can be made lyophilic by this process and it is only necessary to modify the surface to a depth of say 0.4mm to achieve a satisfactory result.
The foam sheet, strip or ribbon may be similarly modified on both faces for which purpose the foam after being removed from between the plate or roller and the release coated paper (if present) is reversed and the operation is repeated. Alternatively the pressure plate may be heated to a foam modifying temperature so that both surfaces of the foam or even the full thickness of the foam may be modified by heat and pressure in one or more pressing and heating operations.
The foam articles of the present invention are particularly advantageous for use as surgical dressing materials. In this respect, the product can be readily sterilized, for example, by means of a steam autoclave, gamma radiation, ethylene oxide. Also the body of the dressing material is suitable for incorporating a medicament, such as an anti-bacterial and/or antiseptic. The dressing is impregnated with such a medicament after the heat/pressure/treatment but prior to any sterilization process. The dressing may be treated by depositing a film of medicated material on to the dressing or by dipping the dressing into a solution of medication material and then drying the material.
The foam which is employed in the invention may be a polyurethane foam based on polyester or based on polyether. However, not all foams within this definition produce the desired lyophilic result. The applicant has attempted to determine a physical or chemical characteristic which may predict that a particular polyurethane foam will be rendered lyophilic. It is thought that the presence of the foam of stannous octoate and trichlorofluoromethane is important although the invention is not limited to this feature. In general it is necessary to test each given sample of foam, but two preferred formulations of foam are set out below in the Examples. The density, cell size and weight of the initial foam material may be chosen for the particular application for which the lyophilic product is required.
It has been found that all samples of foams which have been tested do not produce a lyophilic result. It is likely that the shape and structure of the cells in the foam are important. The heat and pressure treatment of the foam has the effect of causing the foam cells to coalesce to give the surface region of the foam the quality of being sufficiently occlusive to engender body healing processes and yet being sufficiently absorptive that it can absorb serum exuding from the wound.
From a further aspect the present invention provides a method of treating wounds in mammals which method comprises applying to the wound a surgical dressing of the present invention.
Amongst possible applications of the surgical dressing material of the present invention, there may be mentioned simple wound-dressings, post-operative wound dressings, adhesive plaster dressings, and swabs for general and medical use.
It is envisaged that, for application as an adhesive plaster dressing, the material would be produced with a thin plastics film laminated to one side thereof and on the other side of the material an adhesive layer protected by a strippable sheet.
Swabs made from the material may be rendered radio-opaque by impregnation thereof by a radio-opaque agent such as, for example, barium sulphate or iodine extractive or by any other suitable technique.
Further applications for the material of the present invention exist, such as, foam bandages to replace crepe and conforming bandages, foam eye pads to replace conventional gauze and wool pads, foam adhesive sheets to replace felt and other orthopaedic paddings, foam pressure-relief pads, foam dressing packs for use in the treatment of varicose veins by the injection technique, impregnated dressings, foam positioning sets, foam face masks and foam preparation swabs.
The material also has applications in many fields other than medicine. It has been found, for example, that material according to the present invention is excellent for for removal of condensation from windows or the like or for mopping up moisture from articles such as crockery, glassware, cars, floors.
A further envisaged use for the material according to this invention is as a light-weight body-insulative material capable of absorbing large quantities of perspiration.
The preparation and properties of surgical dressing materials according to the present invention are illustrated by the following Examples:
A block of polyurethane foam based on polyether was manufactured from the following formulation of ingredients (parts by weight):
______________________________________polyoxypropylene glycol 100 parts(marketed by Lankro ChemicalsLtd under the name "PROPYLAN 8123")stannous octoate (marketed under the 0.25 partsname "NUOCURE 28" by Durham RawMaterials Limited)water 4.00 partsdimethylethanolamine (marketed 0.50 partsunder the name "PROPAMINE A" byLankro Chemicals Ltd)silicone oil (marketed by Union 200 partsCarbide under the name "L.520"trichlorofluoromethane (marketed 15 partsby Du Pont (UK) Ltd., under thename "FREON 11"80-20 toluene di-isocyanate 82.50 parts(marketed under the name "HYLENE TM"by Du Pont (UK) Limited)______________________________________
A sheet of foam was cut from the block in conventional manner. A piece of silicone-treated release paper was placed on one surface of the sheet and this was placed in contact with a metal plate heated to a temperature of 205°C. A pressure plate was forced against the free face of the foam, to press it against the heated plate. A pressure of 70 lbs/sq. in. was maintained for about 20 seconds, the pressure plate removed and the sheet of modified foam was stripped from the silicone paper.
The procedure of Example 1 was repeated using a foam manufactured from the following formulation (parts by weight): :
______________________________________Polyoxypropylene glycol 100 parts(M.W. 3,000; "NIAX", Union Carbide)Stannous octoate 0.4 parts("Nuocure 28", Durham Raw Materials Ltd)Water 2.8 partsDimethylethanolamine 0.7 parts("Propamine A", Lankro Chemicals ltd)Silicone Oil 1.6 parts(Union Carbide)Trichlorofluoromethane 13.0 parts("Freon 11", Du Pont (UK) Ltd)Toluene di-isocyanate 80/20 36.9 parts(405 Index "Hylene TM", Du Pont(UK) Limited)______________________________________
A dressing prepared according to either Example 1 or 2 has numerous advantages and desirable features, amongst which may be mentioned the following:
a. The dressing speeds up the healing process.
b. The dressing is very soft and therefore causes little or no discomfort to a patient.
c. The dressing can conform to virtually any anatomical contour and, therefore, ensure an even distribution of pressure over the skin surface of a patient.
d. The resilience of the dressing enables continuous contact with a wound, contusion, swelling or the like to be maintained even in the case where swelling or oedema subsides.
e. All exudates from the injured tissue are carried into the foam from the lyophilic surface thereof, thereby leaving said surface in a soft and pliant state.
f. The dressing has desirable non-adhesive properties which simplify the removal of dressings and the inspection of the skin surface.
g. The dressing is X-ray transparent and can therefore be left in situ while X-ray inspection of the wound, injury or the like takes place.
h. The dressing can be used as a haemostatic dressing.
i. The ability of the dressing to accommodate generous amounts of blood and/or exudate, allows the dressing to remain on the affected site for longer than is the case with conventional dressings.
j. The dressing will not support bacterial growth.
In Examples 3 and 4, tests were performed on two dressings:
Dressing A : prepared as in Example 1
Dressing B : As Dressing A, but with the second surface of the foam modified, also by the method as described in Example 1.
Twelve standard shallow wounds were made in the skin on the back of a young female large white pig. Six wounds were covered with dressing A (one surface only modified -- placed next to the wound) and six with dressing B (both surfaces modified by heat and pressure).
One dressing of each type was removed at 2, 4 and 7 days to assess the state of the wound clinically.
Biopsy specimens were taken from the wounds with dressings in place and from wounds from which dressings had been removed at each time interval.
2 days -- blood and exudate had penetrated into dressings and was well dispersed and dry. The wound surface was still moist and the dressings were non adherent.
4 days -- A serous scab had formed in the dressing immediately above the wound surface. Wounds appeared level and clean.
7 days -- Dressings peeled off without damage to wounds which had a dry clean, healed surface.
The wound surface appears to have been moist during the period of epidermal regeneration. The bulk of the exudate was absorbed into the dressing. The wounds have healed rapidly and the new epidermis is well differentiated. The surface of the wound is smooth and level.
Extent of wound surface covered by new epidermis
______________________________________Dressing removed Dressing A Dressing B______________________________________2 days 32% 45%4 days 84% 52%7 days 100% 100%Dressing in place Dressing A Dressing B______________________________________2 days 40% --*4 days 98% 99%7 days 100% 99%______________________________________ *Specimens damaged during processing?
Six standard shallow wounds were covered with Dressing A and biopsy specimens of the wounds with the dressings intact were obtained after 72 hours for measurements of epidermal regeneration.

This result, 96% of the wound surface covered by new epidermis at three days, compares with a norm of 38% of wounds healed without dressings and 92% for wounds covered with polythene film. There is thus an extremely high rate of epithelialisation.

The one bit of advice I can think of that nobody else has hit upon was to warn you about that big metal box full of food just steps away from your new workspace. Sure, "at work" there's probably a vending machine or cafeteria nearby, or at least a coffee shop or fast-food joint right around the corner, but there you have to buy a pack of crackers or an ice cream sandwich or whatever. "At home" you have all your favorite foods, conveniently located right beside you, and you already own each and every delicious morsel! It's already yours, you bought it and brought it home for the express purpose of eating it, and if you aren't careful you can easily add a brand new "freshman 15" every few weeks or so.

Definition of "search"
In Katz v. United States, 389 U.S. 347 (1967), the Supreme Court ruled that a search occurs only when 1) a person expects privacy in the thing searched and 2) society believes that expectation is reasonable. In Katz, the Supreme Court ruled that a search had occurred when the government wiretapped a telephone booth.[20] The Court's reasoning was that 1) the defendant expected that his phonebooth conversation would not be broadcast to the wider world and 2) society believes that expectation is reasonable. This is a threshold question in Fourth Amendment jurisprudence, since the Fourth Amendment only protects against unreasonable searches and seizures. If no search or seizure has occurred, the court ends its analysis.
Stop and frisk
Under Terry v. Ohio 392 U.S. 1 (1968), law enforcement officers are permitted to conduct a limited warrantless search on a level of suspicion less than probable cause under certain circumstances. In Terry, the Supreme Court ruled that when a police officer witnesses "unusual conduct" that leads that officer to reasonably believe "that criminal activity may be afoot", that the suspicious person has a weapon and that the person is presently dangerous to the officer or others, the officer may conduct a "pat-down search" (or "frisk") to determine whether the person is carrying a weapon. To conduct a frisk, officers must be able to point to specific and articulatory facts which, taken together with rational inferences from those facts, reasonably warrant their actions. A vague hunch will not do. Such a search must be temporary and questioning must be limited to the purpose of the stop (e.g., officers who stop a person because they have reasonable suspicion to believe that the person was driving a stolen car, cannot, after confirming that it is not stolen, compel the person to answer questions about anything else, such as the possession of contraband).[21]
So, clearly travelers
- 1) Have no "reasonable expectation of privacy"
- 2) Should understand that traveling by air constitutes "suspicious" and "unusual" conduct
Personally, I think we should hit 'em where it counts the most: in their pocketbooks. If all travelers simply chose another mode of transportation they would VERY rapidly find themselves with several quite influential allies: the airlines, the "hospitality industry", etc. (and yes, there ARE practical alternatives, at least for "domestic" travel: driving is still possible despite our rapidly deteriorating network of interstate highways and besides that people just don't ask themselves this question enough anymore anyway!)

He is confident I'll give him that but he must be aware of McClarens record over the last few years. With their poor reliability, dodgy tactics and cars that lack real consistency and outright speed he will struggle to get near to RedBull/Ferrari/Lotus most of the time. What he might do is give Button the kick up the backside he so badly needs and that can't be bad for anyone.

It's a desert down there: Help for vaginal dryness
| related questions
Originally Published: April 7, 2000 - Last Updated / Reviewed On: May 29, 2015
|Share this
Dear Alice,
My problem is about vaginal dryness. I am an otherwise healthy twenty-one-year-old female, but cannot seem to get wet enough for pleasurable sex with my husband. We both get sore afterwards and I feel like I am not "performing" much like I would imagine a man would feel if he couldn't get an erection. Here's the thing, my husband doesn't want me to use artificial lubricants. Honestly I don't either. Are there any alternatives to K-Y? Is dehydration or draining enough fluids a factor? Any info would be of much help. Thanks so much.
Dear sahara,
Vaginal dryness can be caused by many factors:
- Not being aroused enough before sex, or not wanting to have sex
- Being penetrated before you're ready
- Feeling stressed
- Taking medications that are drying, including isotretinoin (brand name accutane, for the treatment of acne) and decongestants and antihistamines
- Using marijuana before and during sex — it can dehydrate
- Experiencing certain hormonal states or abnormalities that can change vaginal fluids — birth control pills, Depo-Provera, pregnancy, and breastfeeding can contribute to vaginal dryness in this way
- Having an infection
- Getting older and menopause
Vaginal dryness is one reason why some women have sex during their period — because the menstrual flow allows for "natural" lubrication.
What is it about lubes that you and your husband dislike? Is it because you think that you're supposed to produce enough of your own vaginal lubricant in the presence of the one you love or are attracted to? Some women naturally make more of their own lube than others, and, as mentioned above, it's often situational. Needing to apply some extra lube from time to time does not mean that anything is wrong.
And, not all lubes are the same; some may work better for you than others. Effective water-based lubes are available in drug stores and shops specializing in sex-related products. You and your husband can sample a variety of them as they usually make women wet, slippery, and juicy, allowing sex to be more comfortable and pleasurable for both partners.
A little dab could do ya!

Dear Alice,
This article was very helpful. I wanted this reader to know that she is not alone. Also, my husband and I have found that starting with just a little lube around the clitoris has increased his ability to arouse me and thus I produce more of my own natural lube.

1.2 Observation and Problem Identification - Transcripts
Greg Lambrecht: When they match [laughs]. You have to start off by doubting both, and so what does that mean? You need more than one physician to tell you its a problem, or to confirm that its a problem. Frequently medical practice varies and someone will actually suffer more problems than someone else. Sometimes the only thing that gets published in the literature are retrospective studies by a guy that has very good results, or believes he does, or a woman. So you end up getting a biased view. Tier one prospective randomized studied that are reported on are generally believable, and a lot of physicians are generally believable. And you ultimately you probably are not working with those. One of the things that frequently happens with physicians is the failures don't come back to them. If somebody has a complication they don't necisarrially return to the same physician, they frequently will go to another person who didn't screw them up the first time. Its funny, one of the things that I ask physicians is "do you have this problem" if they say no, i'll ask "Do you see patients from other surgeons who have this problem?" "Oh sure! Yeah, those guys, they have no idea what they're doing." Thats an indicator that you need to ask more people.

Indonesia's traditional comedy group Srimulat is about to undertake a big screen comeback, with "Finding Srimulat" set to be released on April 11.
The movie will feature some of the most popular members of Srimulat, including Kabul Basuki or Tessy, Kadir, Mamiek, Tarsan, Gogon and Nunung.
Director Charles Gozali said the movie was a touching yet funny drama that features some of their real life stories. "Finding Srimulat" also stars Reza Rahadian and Rianti Cartwright.
Charles, who has been working on the movie for three years, said he has been a huge fan of the group since he was a child.
"If I didn't listen to their cassettes at night, I couldn't sleep," he said.
"Finding Srimulat" is his third movie and he said he wanted it to be a homage to Indonesia's legendary comedians.
The movie tells the story of Adika Fajar (Reza Rahadian), an event organizer struggling to keep his job after rival Jo Lim (Fauzi Baadila) stole his idea. Along the way, he meets Kadir, a Srimulat member, and it strikes him a good idea to bring the group back on stage. Together, they work toward the possibility of a reunion show by finding each member of the Srimulat group.
However, the journey to bring the group back does not go smoothly. The story unfolds as Adika and the Srimulat members battle illnesses, egos and funding problems.
Srimulat was established in 1950 by Teguh Slamet Rahardjo. The group was named after Teguh's wife, R.A. Srimulat, who was also a member. Srimulat started out performing in night markets in Solo, as well as other cities in Java, though over the years the group has taken on different names and formats, peaking in popularity in the 1980s, when it had a regular show on TVRI, the country's only television station at the time.
Srimulat members have come and gone. At one point, the group had about 300 members who performed regularly in Jakarta, Solo and Surabaya. It was not an easy job for Teguh to keep everyone happy, and the group broke up in 1989.
Executive producer Hendrick Gozali recalls Srimulat's glory days, when the group performed on a roofless stage at Taman Ismail Marzuki in Jakarta. Their audience varied from regular Jakartans to high-level politicians.
Material for the shows came from peoples' daily lives, so it could be enjoyed by people from all social classes.
"We called Srimulat 'waterproof' because even when it rained, the crowd stayed," Hendrick said.
In his book "Indonesia Tertawa" ("Indonesia Laughs"), anthropologist James Danandjaja from the University of Indonesia refers to Srimulat as a subculture. Srimulat, James writes, is both a cultural community and a genre of comedy. One characteristic of the group, James says, is that it does not mock or degrade people in its comedy, as its jokes are based on Javanese language and culture.
Their traditional style when performing is rather peculiar, and Charles admitted that the shooting process was challenging: Srimulat members are used to spontaneity, with audience reactions hints as to where the jokes should go. To act in front of camera was quite a new thing for them.
"There are three big scenes in the movie that I didn't write in the script," Charles said. "I just told them how I wanted the story to go, and they came up with their own dialogue."
Charles also assigned Reza and Rianti to keep the Srimulat members on track. Both young actors panicked when they were told they had to act with no written dialogue.
Improvisation on set also resulted in a lots of footage, but the result, Charles said, is satisfying and pure chemistry.
Tessy said the script without dialogue was very familiar to him as a Srimulat member. "We totally enjoyed those big acts, and Charles often cut us before we finished the joke," he said.
As for Reza, it was his first time acting without a script. He shares most scenes with Tessy and Gogon, who effortlessly talk and joke with one other. They first met at the reading, where the Srimulat members seemed calm and serious, so shooting was quite a surprise.
"Finding Srimulat" is Reza's latest film after starring in the highly successful biopic "Habibie & Ainun," which premiered in December and is still showing in cinemas. It is also his first time acting in a comedy.
"I learned that spontaneity and faith in the profession is a very important thing to have."

I'm 4 weeks post op I went back to work I'm feeling ok I am a bit swollen but I feel ready to resume my normal activity..my Lipo was perform in the Dominican Republic ,I'm shocked that my plastic surgeon told me is after 4 months that I can start to work out!!! Why is this? I have read a lot of surgeons say slowly star after 2/3 weeks
When Can I Really Start the Gym After Lipo?
Doctor Answers 6
Active exercisers can resume light training within 24 hours after liposuction under local anesthesia.
Active exercisers can resume light training within 24 hours after liposuction under local anesthesia. After 30 years of performing liposuction, I have found that exercise which causes jiggling of tissue (running, horseback riding, etc.) can be uncomfortable for a week or so. My typical patient is walking moderately the day after surgery.
Exercise After Liposuction
Unless there are extenuating circumstances, I usually instruct my patients to begin light exercise at 2 weeks. They should "listen to their body" and if they experience any pain, then they should stop for a few days and try again. I also agree with my colleague who suggested you should only have surgery with a board certified plastic surgeon. Good luck. Dr. Gervais.
Web reference: http://www.mpsmn.com/dr-gervais
Gym after liposuction surgery
It depends on the patients recovery, the areas that have been treated and the extent of the surgery. In general I let my patient return to light exercise at 2 weeks and advance as they feel better at 3 weeks. a good general rule you should stop when ever you feel pain, it is away for your body to tell you you are overdoing it.
Good luck!

Return to exercise after liposuction
Hi Sexxibooty
The answer to your question really depends on how much liposuction was done across how wide an area. If you were just getting a few small pockets sorted out (love handles or saddle bags etc), 2-3 weeks is quite reasonable.
However if you've had large volume liposuction (>5L) across an area that moves a lot (abdomen, thighs), the it would pay to back off on your exercise in those areas for about 6 weeks. Your major risk is that the muscle movement underneath the honeycombed liposuction area will prevent the remaining fat from compressing down and sticking to the muscle layers, which could result in late fluid collections (seromas). It is important to wear your compression garments at all times except showering for the first 6-8 weeks.
Good luck in your recovery.
Dr Gavin Sandercoe
Web reference: http://www.drgavinsandercoe.com.au/body/liposuction/liposuction-recovery/
Back to the Gym after Liposuction
For my patients, I advise them that it is OK to go back to the gym 2 weeks after liposuction and start slowly.

Unplugged ceremonies trending as social media sharing growsWritten by Sarah Ottney | Editor in Chief | firstname.lastname@example.com
When Jessica Letson walks down the aisle in May, she wants to focus on her groom and the joyful faces of their friends and relatives — not a sea of camera lenses and cellphones.
Letson and her fiance, Matt Hosley, both 29, of Toledo are planning an "unplugged" ceremony at Blessed Sacrament Church.
"We decided we wanted everybody to be there with us, not busy on their cellphones and not being in the way of the camera men when they are getting the shots," Letson said. "I've requested the priest to say something before the ceremony along the lines of 'Jessica and
Matt want you to be here with them instead of behind your camera' and ask them nicely to put it away."
Letson said the response from guests has mainly been confusion. Although she isn't planning to actually collect phones or cameras, she hopes attendees will respect the couple's wishes.
"I've had, 'Well, what if we take the flash off?'" Letson said. "I don't mind if they don't have the flash on, but I'd rather them not have it altogether."
The couple, who are high school sweethearts, first heard of unplugged weddings through their photographers at Love is Greater Photography.
"I've seen some of the stuff that's been posted where someone's flash ruined the first kiss or ruined walking down the aisle with their dad and those are all moments I want to catch on camera and not have someone — even with the best of intentions — ruin a shot," Letson said. "We've been together for 15 years, so we definitely wanted this day to be something we remember looking back on pictures."
The trend of unplugged ceremonies has many area wedding photographers rejoicing.
"Our culture is so obsessed with capturing every single moment through a device that we aren't experiencing these moments firsthand," Mary Wyar of Mary Wyar Photography wrote in an email. "I find it so sad, because experiencing a wedding without having a phone or camera distracting you is much more emotional and special."
Wyar said the increase in guest photography has forced her to change the way she photographs weddings.
"It has become such a normal occurrence to have arms extended to the middle of the aisle, blocking the bride's processional that I have had to change the way I photograph this portion of the ceremony to avoid having the bride's face blocked by these devices," Wyar said. "The angle of choice, down lower, isn't as flattering but beats totally losing that photograph.
"The absolute worst incident I have encountered was a guest stepping directly in front of the groom during the bride's processional, where he did not even see his bride walk down the aisle. … Luckily, all of my couples do a first look three hours prior to the ceremony so the groom wasn't seeing his bride for the first time. Nonetheless, this is still an emotional moment and he didn't get to experience it."
Wyar was one of several local photographers who said a recent blog post by North Canton-based wedding photographer Corey Ann Balazowich of Corey Ann Photography resonated with them.
Balazowich's post, titled "Why You Should Have an Unplugged Wedding," garnered hundreds of shares and a lot of attention, including an interview with The New York Times.
In her post, Balazowich shared numerous wedding photos inadvertently ruined by a guest stepping in front of a couple's first kiss, a couple washed out by or in shadows thrown by a guest's camera flash or a red focusing dot on a bride's dress from a guest camera.
Flashes can also cause the wedding party to blink in the pro photos, added Julie Paszczykowski of JP Photography. And guests trying to take photos during formal portraits cause wandering eyes, as subjects aren't sure which camera to look at.
In her post, Balazowich also noted another potential downside of guest photography.
"I can't tell you how many 'first looks' have inadvertently happened online before the wedding because a bridesmaid or groomsman has uploaded pictures to social media before the wedding and a bride and/or groom who were killing time by browsing Facebook saw their future intended before the ceremony," Balazowich said.
'Plugged-in' weddings
Other couples opt for "plugged-in" weddings, encouraging guests to take and share photos to social media sites under a personalized hashtag.
Proponents, like Jessica Myers of Genoa, say it preserves moments or alternate angles that would otherwise never be seen.
"I printed the pictures from Facebook that people took and shared or that people sent to my phone, which I loved," said Myers, who married her husband, Jason, on Feb. 15.
The couple asked guests to take photos and post them to Instagram using the hashtag #jnjmyerswedding. Although signs were posted at their ceremony and reception sites, Jessica said they didn't get much participation from guests.
"Not many people seemed to know about Instagram," Jessica said. "A lot of guests asked what it was. They said they would download the app and pictures, but no one really did. I should have maybe added something in my invite telling more about it. I'm sure I would have gotten a better turnout with pictures."
Even so, Jessica said she's happy with her choice.
"I am happy I did it because I can add all my pictures myself to it," Jessica said.
Ashley Klein of West Coast-based wedding planner TinLey Affair Instagrammed a friend's wedding in her hometown of Columbus in February.
"I started taking shots of everything and hashtagging #WinteringWedding," Klein wrote in a blog post. "Then at the reception, other guests started hashtagging too! Just by word of mouth, my hashtag grew! I am so excited for Meghan to see a timeline in pictures from her guests behind the scenes. I'm thinking this Instagram gift book would make the perfect newlywed gift."
Balazowich and Paszczykowski stressed they are not opposed to guest photos.
"I certainly and wholeheartedly believe a bride and groom should have as many beautiful images of their wedding day as possible," Paszczykowski said. "I don't mind at all when guests are taking photos with the bride and groom as they are mingling or at the reception, but please, please, please put your cameras down for the processional and also allow the professional photographers to capture the family and bridal party formals without interruptions, onlookers and 50 'camera heads' behind me as I like to call them. Enjoy the entire process. Rejoice in their celebration with them. Relax! We got this!"

By Kathleen T. RhemAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, March 13, 2003 U.S. policy toward Iraq has been shaped by a dozen years of defiance by Saddam Hussein and at least two presidential administrations, Secretary of State Colin Powell explained to some members of Congress today.
"U.S. policy with respect to Iraq is not just something that has been developed in the last month or so," he said at a House subcommittee hearing. "One can go back many years to the end of the Gulf War."
Powell reminded several members of the House Appropriations Committee that the United Nations imposed sanctions and conditions on Iraq at the end of that 1991 conflict -- disarmament conditions Iraq still hasn't met.
With Security Council Resolution 1441, approved unanimously in November 2002, "the whole international community came together -- Arab nations and European nations and nations in the hemisphere," the secretary said.
He also pointed out that the Clinton administration, with full congressional concurrence, decided in 1998 that regime change in Iraq was in the best interests of the United States.
In late 2002, Congress again gave its full support for disarming Iraq when it passed a joint resolution "supporting the president's efforts to cause Saddam Hussein to come into compliance," he said.
The U.S. policy toward Iraq "is driven by our own national interests," Powell said. "It is driven by us trying to help the United Nations do its job. It is driven by our concern for the people of Iraq."

Native doesn't stand behind their product
I have a pair of Native glasses (the Dash XP) that I thought were going to be great, but when the comfy nose-piece that holds them on your face fell off Native left me hangin'. I tried repeatedly to get customer support from Native, but they failed miserably.
Learn from my mistake -- buy Smith,... I strayed from them for a short time, but trust me when I say that they stand behind their products (not a paid advertisement--I promise).
Write your comment here...James, did you try sending them with the upc or reciept? I have 5 times on the 3 styles I own and have recieved replacements quickly.(2 times before my $30.00 check had cleared) Today my friend's dog chewed up the Dash XP's I won in a beach volleyball tourn. last Saturday. They'll be replaced by next week. thanks,
Daron McDaniel
No prob's here... Native has always been very helpful and has never even asked questions...

I have not tried that If you want me to try that it will be a few hours
because it is running now so I will have to wait until it stops at 72 degees
and the find somebody to turn the thermostat up while I watch in the basement.
Your test won't work because the themostat has already called for heat
(and failed) before I crank up the temp to look for a start.My thermostat is set at 72. The temp was down to 70 when we tried your test by turning it
up to 75. t did not start until I turned the power off then on again. I think
what I would have to do is set the stat down to a low number where the
room temp is much higher and then try your test. If that is correct let me know and I will do it that way. STANDING BY
With the room temp over 73 we turned the stat down to 55 to make sure it was off. With me watching the furnace and my assistant turning the temp
of the thermostat up to 85 there was no start or atempted start. I did my usual by turning off the power to get a start which worked as usual. The
thermostat test above I don't think I will be able to do until tomorrow. Let me
know if the above test requires the thermostat test.
I have changed the batteries in the stat and will try jumping the terminals
tomorrow. Will report to you then.
OK will do the jump test tomorrow. Meanwhile think about how the water
drain line to the sewer would effect our problem if clogged.
My thermostat has terminals RC(red wire) and W (white wire) I assume
you wanted me to jump the red and white wire. I did jump the red and white
which had no effect . While holding the jumper in place I tried my power
off and back on trick and got a re-start. As soon as it started I pulled the
jumper and the furnace shut down.Meanwhile the inducer motor keeps
Is the inducer motor relay soldered to the board or is it a plug
in relay?
You are 100% sure it is the board ?
OK I am on my way to pick up the $165.00 board. Will report back to you
after it is installed
The board is replaced and everything seems to be working, I will confirm
after a few more cycles

If you plan to gift the Nintendo Wii U Game console, make sure you include the receipt. If your friend or family member is into gaming, they want a Sony PlayStation 4 or XBox One, both of which have excellent performance, a bevy of high-end games and huge communities of gamers you can play against.
Unfortunately, the $300 Wii U is a waste of metal and plastic, with a lame touch-screen controller, mediocre graphics capability and almost none of the games people actually want to play. Whether your giftee likes racing games, first-person shooters or sports, they won't find what they're looking for in the Wii U's nearly empty library of games. You'd be better off giving a Nintendo DS, because at least that's portable.
You are so right about the Wii U! Who wants to play this "Mario Bros" stuff? I mean, come on, how many people have played that game? Like a few hundred million? Sheesh. And who's this Zelda character? Never heard of her. I guess the 60 million copies or so of games in that franchise must have been Happy Meal toys or something. Where are all the carbon-copy shooters? The endless array of lookalike racing games? The last-gen rehash sports games? You call that a game console!?
Don't even get me started on the graphics. Full 1080p? I mean the Xbox One and PS4 have launch titles in 720p so that must be way better.
And a touch screen!?! Who the heck uses one of those in this day and age. What on earth were they thinking!?
Wait? What? This article wasn't a joke? Oh man, sorry about that, I thought I was in on the gag. Here's hoping your readers aren't silly enough to take game console advice from a laptop magazine.
The Chromebook is a wonderful device as much as any other Internet/Web tool you will find. It may not be for everyone – this is true, but it will serve most people just fine. It is working great in the school system. As for Office like applications, anyone familiar with tech today should know that Google Docs, as well as, Microsoft free office is available to use right from the browser. Typing a word document is simple. You can edit photos with Pixlr app. You can place your works on Google Drive, Skydrive, and Dropbox, along with a long list of other Cloud sites. You can use Outlook.com for email in your browser. True, Chrome will be the only browser – there are limitations. What you don't have is viruses, long updates and reboots, and a slowdown over time as Windows would ball-up. What you get is clean and lean, with up to 8 hours of battery time. The boot up time is around 8 to 10 seconds.
Although many sites what you to believe only Microsoft and Apple choices are out there, it is simply not true, for some people Linux or this ChromeOS are a good alternative.
Make a Great Christmas Gift. Why do think Microsoft is so worried???
Surface 2 is some nice hunk of metal, and nice screen. All in all, not a bad tablet / netbook (when keyboard added) for around $300 or $399 with keyboard. Would value it higher if it had more apps. Full Win 8.1 Surface Pro would be nice, if around $599.
The $199 on original Surface seems like a good price. That Surface 2 at $449 just ain't gonna fly. More apps, or lower price to $300
I agree with the iphone 5c

Jonathan Biabiany had struck on the stroke of half-time to cancel out Perea's 25th minute opener, but the Colombian had the final word when he found space and time to take a touch and fire in a cross from the right.
It was almost as easy as his first goal, which came when Pavol Bajza pushed Ogenyi Onazi's shot straight into his path.
Biabany levelled in the 44th minute when he controlled a cross before curling a shot into the net.

Vogue (US) – November 2010
Steal of the Month: Plastic Fantastic
One's trash is another's treasure: Marni turns bottles into baubles.
"Young, old, rich, poor, this necklace is for everyone!" exclaims Marni's Consuelo Castiglioni, the latest of a burgeoning group of esteemed designers turning out chic with a conscience (see "Naturally Refined," page 260). The designer, "always looking for new materials," has strung together a necklace of flowers that were once plastic drinking bottles, recycled in Colombia. And ringing in at $320 (significantly less than the usual price for a Marni necklace), her choice benefits not only the environment but fledgling Marni fans, too. Count among them ingenue Isabel Lucas, who is also doing her part for the planet. The 25-year-old actress, vintage shopper, and vegetarian doesn't wear leather (unless it's thrift), hiked up Kilimanjaro to raise funds for charities that provide safe drinking water to those in need, and designed a recycled-timber, solar-paneled house in her native Australia before moving to L.A. two and a half years ago. "I lived in Cairns, near the Great Barrier Reef," she says, "so my natural instinct is to protect the environment."
Lucas—who stars in next year's remake of Red Dawn ("I went to boot camp to train as a Wolverine") and as mythical goddess Athena in Immortals, with Mickey Rourke, out next November—is just the type of woman Castiglioni had in mind when she created the piece (layered here with a plaster version). "I was inspired by urban life," the designer says. "It's the clash between the outdoors and le bon ton."
"I'm inspired to create an eco brand myself!" says actress Isabel Lucas. Marni clear necklace ($320) and white necklace ($255); Marni boutiques. ASOS Africa dress, $85; asos.com. Livity beach hat, $59; Livity, Santa Monica. Hair, Peter Butler at Tracey Mattingly; makeup, Yumi, using Chanel cosmetics, for Frank Reps.

So the past few weeks have been filled with amazing things. Along with growing a human, meeting a million brides, trying to get their quotes to them….'pintresting' to hell and back… We are opening a teeny tiny cecilia fox shop! i'm really really really excited. There has been many emotional ups and downs in dealing with realestate agents, lawyers, council and all of the unromantic stuff but right from the beginning i felt like it was the 'right thing to do'. I said to Jamie one night..am i insane? do you actually think that maybe i've got a problem? do you really think this will work? the answer…this shop is a no brainer it's perfect… I know i've let you down this winter with broken promises of flowering classes, open studios and fun winter stuff and i could go on about just how busy i've been but i read this instead. Growing a human gets you thinking…how am i going to do this? will i ACTUALLY be able to do this? People say that you just do it and you make it work. Other people say they don't get out of there pajamas till noon. I read other blogs where women bake a lot and knit lovely things for their babies. Am i going to be a bad mummy because I'm imagining snuggling the baby in a sling and going to the flower market? Walking down to the shop and seeing how the girls are going, whipping up a few bridal bouquets while the baby gets passed around? I know that i'm probably being unrealistic but maybe just maybe it will work? As the weeks go by i am increasingly excited and increasingly terrified, definitely more excited than terrified though…maybe we should throw it all in and start an organic gardening blog.. move to the country?
Anyway, back to the shop…we pick up keys on Monday and Donald our carpenter is all set to fit that baby out! Although we will be doing most of it ourselves and when i say we i mean Jamie and the girls. My belly has swelled to well over expected proportions to sand floors and climb ladders. Fingers crossed that we get planning approval from the council and we will be open early September…cross your toes this time that we get it all done before the baby arrives. Nothing like a deadline to get things moving.
I'm off to pot up succulents for the shop and sweet talk a few brides. Updates soon x
