Im about 5'3 and weigh around 145 lbs. I've always had a very large mons pubis but i've been losing weight and it looks even bigger. its all fat down there. Im incredibly self conscious about this, I cant wear tight dresses and when i go to the beach im embarrassed to go without shorts because my mons pubis is so fat. I desperately need to know what surgery can help this, will the area be completely flat after surgery? and the average cost? please help!
What Are My Options For A Large Mons Pubis? Costs?
Doctor Answers 14
Mons liposuction
Improving the Mons pubis is straightforward
The mon pubis or the area of pubic hair growth in front of the pubic bone is a common area to look out of proportion in men and women who have been overweight. The solutions are varied depending on the needs and goals of each patient.
For many patients the subcutaneous fat layer in this location resists changes to diet and exercise. This region can also stretch and droop down which also contributes to unwanted bulging. Finally, the contours of this area are also exageratted after C-section surgery or other procedures that place a scar horizontally across the lower abdomen.
The localized fat excess can be addressed with various liposuction techniques ( I prefer SmartLipo Triplex), laxity can be addressed with lifting procedures as part of a Tummy Tuck or as an isolated approach. If severe skin laxity or drooping is present then a surgical reduction of the mons pubis soft tissues can also be done with predictable and positive lasting results. An experienced Plastic Surgeon is the place to start your search for a solution - but a solution is certainly available.
good luck!

Mons Pubis Surgery?
Thank you for the question.
It is not unusual for the pubic area to be an area of concern. This area may be large ( prominent) , ptotic (low), or deflated. How to best address your specific concerns will depend on physical examination. Generally, treatment will involve excision of excess/ ptopic skin plus or minus liposuctioning.
I would suggest in person consultation with well experienced board-certified plastic surgeons.
Best wishes.

Cosmetic surgery of the mons pubis
Depending on the situation, cosmetic improvement of the mons pubis can involve direct excision, lifting and contouring with liposuction or direct excision of fat or a combination. In order to determine what would be best for you, seek out a few consultations with board certified plastic surgeons in your area.

Options for a Large Mons Pubis
Liposuction is a common way of reducing a mons if the skin is not too lax. An excision can be done also. See a Board Certified plastic surgeon to get more details.
What Are My Options For A Large Mons Pubis? Costs?
Coincidence!!!! I just operated on a woman with the same issue (it showed thru her clothing), although she had undergone a Tummy Tuck years ago by a different surgeon. Liposuction is probably all that you will need, although on some occasions a lift of the skin down there is done as well. That will be up to you and your doctor as to the best approach but it does work.
Reduction for a large mons pubis
Reduction of the mons area is fairly common and we accomplish this often with ultrasonic liposuction. The issue can be one of weight, though just as often it is about genetics and inherited body shape. You can determine the amount of fat by feeling over the pubic bone and get an idea of how flat you might be.
Best of luck,

Reviews for Avernum: Escape From The Pit
A Game for the Pastxiluxpain | Jan. 24, 2014 | See all xiluxpain's reviews »
Avernum: Escape From The Pit can easily be put into a single word, and that is "Adventure." But that wouldn't do it justice. At a single glance, Avernum: Escape From The Pit seems very old, and the style is dated to possibly the 90s. But do not let looks fool you. Avernum: Escape From The Pit can easily deliver hours upon hours, eventually adding to dozens of hours of game play. The easiest way to compare this game, using a popular game, would most likely be a single player Runescape. In the world of Avernum, you find yourself thrown into the depths of hell for seemingly nothing at all. You have but one thing in mind, somehow find your way back and exact your revenge. You come across many along the way, many of those who cross the powerful in the surface are thrown into the underground world. You, along with three custom built companions, will face the many forces evils and pre-established factions. Taking on many quests, and optional side quests, you choose your own road to how your game ends. This game will be challenging even on the easiest settings. So for those up for a challenge, save often, and prepare to determine your own fate in a world of fantasy and unknown.
Good upgrade to a classic gamecoddx | Aug. 7, 2013 | See all coddx's reviews »
Avernum is a updated version of Exile:Escape from the Pit. A fantastic story driven RPG about outsiders in a strange land. You can customize you team to how you play with hours of good times. The downside is the inability to shift the view angle, which makes using the keyboard commands a little difficult. There is a good sized demo available from the spiderweb website. If you've been a fan of these types or have played any of the others in the series, you won't regret this.
Review from a Long Time Avernum fanFerrariBabz | July 20, 2013 | See all FerrariBabz's reviews »
This is a great remake of a classic game that everyone should play. I was soo happy when I saw this on sale. A great game that I thought I would never see on on a digital platform because it was just too good. Although you can't play as the nephilim or slithzerikai like in prevous versions of the game, which is a bit sad as those races were really fun to play and beats playing as a human any day. Still a good remake of a classic game though, highly recommend.
A proper gamePowerGreen | May 24, 2013 | See all PowerGreen's reviews »
This is a proper game, with none of the namby-pamby nannying that a lot of "modern" games force on you. You can actually make your own characters! This is one of the games where you can actually look past the graphics, because underneath is some rich gameplay and a fantasy storyline. Take a game like this one and spruce the graphics up a bit (adding things like zoom and more animations), and you'll have a 100 scoring title.
Nice old-style GDRlucasart | Dec. 12, 2012 | See all lucasart's reviews »
Avernum: Escape From the Pit is an RPG-style-traditional occidental, developed by Spiderweb Software. In the wake of the classics of good vintage, the player must control their own party of characters through the winding tunnels of Avernum, an underworld, or rather a veritable prison built under the earth's crust, where they are confined to the political enemies of the tyrant emperor Hawthorne. Overall this Avernum: Escape from the Pit proves to be a good old-fashioned RPG: excellent setting and exploratory component, excellent longevity, and narration over the top. If you are fans of this genre will not have problems to like it. For everyone else who would like to give it a chanche, remember that the price is a good buy, especially if you can look beyond the interface problems and pathfinding.
Excellent reboot of a classic franchiseRaidenHayabusa | Dec. 12, 2012 | See all RaidenHayabusa's reviews »
Back in the 1990's Spiderweb Software created a little known PC RPG gem called Exile: Escape from the Pit. Several great sequels followed in the coming years before being recreated with a new graphics engine but the same solid gameplay, this game was known as Avernum. What we have before us is a second re-imagining of the original game which is reflected in the title of the game. The gameplay is very good, the story original and interesting with multiple endings, the graphics have been improved again, not on level with any big budget title you would see today but a great effort for a tiny studio. It is an excellent game and you will get your money's worth for certain, there is a lot of content to explore and you will find yourself wanting to play the sequels of the original games to see what happens next

So far this toy drive has brought in more than expected due to the generosity of the community, but they need more and you can still help out.
The holidays are a time for giving thanks for what you have and giving to those less fortunate.
Friday, hundreds of people were giving back to the community by going to the Toys-R-Us on East 23rd Street to donate what they can to the children's home society.
With $3,500 gathered before noon and all types of toys coming in, hundreds of area kids will benefit. There are still plenty of kids who need your help. All you have to do is take a couple of minutes out of your busy day and buy a toy or give some money to a great cause.
The volunteers from the Children's Home Society will be here till 10 p.m. Friday night, so there's plenty of time to come out and help brighten a child's holiday.

Pastor Aldren Sadler offers words of encouragement to the latest graduates of Rockdale's DUI Supervised Treatment Program
They've been through ups and downs. Whether it was unemployment, family issues or personal stress that led them to excess drinking in the past, graduates at the Jan. 8 Rockdale County DUI Supervised Treatment Program graduation ceremony are ready to move on from those trying times.
"This is a milestone in your life. Life is like a book. Many times that book can have many, many chapters. At this point, you are about ready to turn the page to the next chapter in life," said keynote speaker Aldren Sadler, pastor of the Church of New Beginnings in Conyers. "This will be a slow, gradual, but rewarding process. Continue with your discipline that you used to get through this program. Make sure you set goals for yourself through this process. When you make those goals, reward yourself with something that's not a drink and continue to use all your strength to move on."
Norma Manning, a previous graduate of the program, joined Sadler in encouraging the six graduates at the program's 10th graduation ceremony.
"This program really saved my life. It's only by the grace of God and this DUI program that I am here today," said Manning as she fought back tears.
Norma Manning
Manning was arrested for three DUIs in 2010. Manning now works with the program to help graduates stay sober.
"Trust me. Everyday, with every step, it gets a little easier. I have been sober three years and three and a half months today. Embrace this program for the salvation that it is and if things ever get too tough remember, we are always here for you."
Rockdale's DUI program has had 72 successful graduates since it was launched in 2007.
Rockdale County's State Court Judge Nancy Bills oversees the program and says Sheriff's deputies routinely visit program participants to collect urine samples, as well as conduct breath and saliva testing in order to make sure participants are on the right path to recovery.
"Surveillance is a big part of the program. Our staff works together, hands on, in a collaborative approach to comprehensively treat, motivate and rehabilitate participants," said Bills. " We also have an alumni association here to help our graduates to stay on the right road."
Judge Nancy Bills
Bills said while the program has a minimum of 12 months, she said it usually takes about 18 to 24 months to complete because most people who come into court have at least a 24-month probation.
The program is voluntary and participants do pay a fee to join.

Wrinkles for Oct. 4
To my dismay, I watch as newspapers shrink in size, have fewer pages, and even a few are closing their doors permanently. What a loss this will be for the people of America! My mom was an avid newspaper reader, thus encouraging me to read the entire paper, not just the comic section. In the past, most Southern cities always had two newspapers. While living in Anderson, I was fortunate to have two newspapers to read, The Anderson Independent for the morning and the Anderson Daily Mail for the afternoon. Living in Greenville, the morning paper was the Greenville News, the afternoon paper, the Greenville Piedmont. Moving to Augusta, we subscribed to the Augusta Herald, the morning newspaper with the Augusta Chronicle for the afternoon. And, if something unusual happened, the "paper boys" would be on the street hawking "Extra, Extra," and everyone ran to pick up a paper to read what the excitement was all about. After moving to North Augusta, when Mim and Sam started The Star, we also subscribed to the local weekly paper. Newspapers were not only the information for the community, at times it was also the protector of the people. If there were government officials who committed a crime or did anything to harm the community, names and investigations were published for everyone to read. Newspapers were the cohesive part of every community and have protected the interest of its citizens for generations. Having worked in the electronic media most of my life, I realize the importance of electronic news. However, the electronic media does have time limitations and cannot cover the news in depth as completely as the printed media, with the exception of special one-hour investigative programs. People who could not receive help from government sources have turned to the newspapers for help for many years. Many times, politicians who decided to cheat the citizens and became corrupt were brought to justice by investigations by newspapers. So let's train our young people how important a newspaper is to every community and also every nation and encourage them to read more to understand all aspects of every story - and not just listen to 30 seconds of fast talking.
The response to our quest for "whys" brought out the good and bad. A few from Harry Thompson include:
What's the difference between partly sunny and party cloudy?
If a product is "better than the leading brand," why isn't it the leading brand?
Others include -
Why do department stores put cosmetic counters in the busiest part of the store, when no customer wants people gawking at them while trying new cosmetics with a makeover?
Why do drivers wait until they are at a red light to turn on their blinkers?
Why are women jealous of other women?
Why do women not invite other women to be seated with them at events?
Why do clerks in stores think they are doing you a favor to wait on you?
Why do doctors overschedule appointments?
Send in your whys for future columns!
"There is a vast difference between putting your nose in other people's business and putting your heart in other people's problems."

text: As the title says, i own an XD9 Tactical Model (produced 2011) and have been having some serious ejection problems. Its had just over 3000 rounds through it (most of them steel cased wolf) and recently the ejection has became very erratic, it varied from just barely dribbling out and falling a couple of inches from the gun to landing consistently roughly three feet on the shooting bench i was resting it on and everywhere inbetween. Firing position was on sand bags inside the red circle. the ejection was that giant pile of steel cased ammo. 250+ rounds fired Now you could think i limp wristed it and the lack of rigidity was not giving the slide enough rigidity to fully recoil and kick the case out correctly, but the recoil impulse was similar to shooting wolf prior to this outing. Plus i had a second XD9 to compare with (a sub compact Produced in 2003) and it ran perfectly fine on the same exact ammo! The fact that the recoil impulse felt the same and the ammo worked fine in another XD, lead me to think that the problem with ejection was rooted to the extractor/ejector. when i broke the gun down to inspect it on the range i noticed a gouge in the ejector as well, the extractor had no abnormalities. From what ive seen on my XD is that the gouge on the ejector is from the Mec-Gar 18 round mags i recently bought. (Witch i love by the way, and just bought another) Below are some photos of the factory mag and the Mec-Gar mag in both "pressured" or "pushed up" positions and the "rested" position. in the photos its clear the space between the feed lips on the Mec-Gar mag and the ejector is much closer that the factory mag, also the spot its nearest to is were the gouge is located. Factory Mag Rested Factory Mag Pressured Mec-Gar Mec-Gar Mag Rested Mec-Gar Mag Pressured The gouge was present after the first range session with the new Mec-Gar's so i am pretty confident the new Mec-Gar's that have altered by ejector. but it could just be the wear of 3000 rounds(mostly steel) changing the angle on the ejectors face. The red lines on the images below are to "highlight" the worn areas The face of my ejector is not pictured however it has became worn on half of the face (the bottom half) to a point in with it has possibly changed the angle. Top view of the ejector Right side of the ejector Left side of the ejector with the gouge My XD subcompact on the other hand has very little wear on the ejector and contains the old style ejector that is much more substantial, and heavy duty looking. most of the wear on the machined (MIM?) ejector is on the bottom of the ejector were the mag's feed lips make contact. Older machined (MIM?) ejector on the LEFT Newer stamped steel ejector on the RIGHT I was looking for a ejector replacement and i found this one made by Powder River Precision PRP EJECTOR Witch resembles the older machined (MIM?) ejector found in my subcompact, although the PRP is machined 416 Stainless Steel and is heat treated, If you have any experience with the PRP ejector or with what determines an XD's ejection pattern, or have even had ejection problems in your XD orXD(m) and have resolved them feel free to chime in. at this point i'm just hoping its not the extractor cause that results in a guaranteed trip to Springfield. Thanks for any advice or insight on the matter.

RISMEDIA, May 12, 2009-Prudential Network Realty's team of real estate professionals recently helped clients successfully complete a rare home-selling trade where the clients purchased each other's homes. And to make the situation even more unique, both clients were represented by Realtors from the company's Beaches office in Atlantic Beach.
"This is highly unusual. We typically do not see these types of transactions where one client buys another's home and vice versa," said Prudential Network Realty Founder, President and CEO Linda H. Sherrer. "We are delighted that we could to bring these clients together and help both buy and sell the homes they desired. In today's real estate market, creativity is the cornerstone of success," Sherrer said.

First Test Tube Grown Hamburger Set to Debut by Fall 2012
Posted By Lori Zimmer On February 20, 2012 @ 1:58 pm In Environment,News,Sustainable Food | Comments Disabled
Mark Post's test tube hamburger [2] that we heard about last November [3] is reportedly going to be ready for consumption by Autumn of 2012. Announced at the American Association for the Advancement of Science [4]in Vancouver this past Sunday, the scientist's admittedly less than appetizing petri dish skeletal muscle tissue is in the laboratory phase with a goal to assemble into an edible burger by fall. The project has been able to move forward thanks to 250,000 euro in funds from a private investor.
Post's project aims to eliminate the land-hogging, gas emissions-spewing [6], largely unethical meat production industry [7]. A 2010 report by the United Nations Environment Program [8]declared that a world wide vegetarian diet would help combat the serious side effects that animal farming has done to damage our environment. But as the world's demand for meat has only increased, Post began this lab-meat quest to satisfy the demands in a more environmentally friendly way.
Thus far, Post's meat, which is developed from stem cells from discarded animal parts at rendering plants [9], has been making advancements- but is still not yet ready to go from petri dish to plate. At Sunday's "The Next Agricultural Revolution" symposium, he announced that his team would be producing enough of the small tissues – a couple thousand- to create an actual burger by fall. The bloodless tissues are clear and spongy, and like real muscles, must be worked out to create mass and texture. This is accomplished by stretching the tiny strips across Velcro, creating resistance.
Glopped together with some test-tube grown fat, the strips will be layered upon one another to make the burger [10]. Post hopes to eventually replace the entire meat production business [11] with ethical lab-grown meat, but we anticipate the taste and bite of the burger this coming fall will determine his success or failure.

Liner notes by Bob Ostertag:
All the Rage was developed from a recording I made of a riot in San Francisco in October 1991, which followed California Governor Pete Wilson's veto of a bill designed to protect gays and lesbians from discrimination.
First, I sifted through the recording and isolated those sections that to my ear suggested music. Some of these involved screaming, whistles, or windows being smashed. Two were based on slogans chanted by the crowd ("We're Not Going Back" and "Queers Fight Back"). Two more were based on individual voices (one shouting "Go For It," and several people yelling "Burn it" as the California State Office Building caught fire). I then developed these fragments into full musical structures through various digital editing techniques, and added the text by Sara Miles.
Kronos parts were developed directly from the recorded material. In some cases, this took the form of a minutely detailed transcription of the pitch inflections of the recorded sounds. In other sections, the process from tape to string parts was more complex, and the relationship between the two less obvious.
Much of the peculiar sound of this music comes from the whistles that many queers carry as a basic self-defense tool, and which emerged from peoples' pockets by the hundreds during the riot. The whistles used in performance by the Kronos Quartet are provided by Community United Against Violence, a San-Francisco-based organization which assists victims of queer-bashings."
All the Rage received it's world premier at the Lincoln Center in NYC, performed by the Kronos Quartet.
"Bob Ostertag's "All the Rage" turned the evening on its head with a devastating roar of gay anger. Of recent concert pieces having to do with AIDS, "All the Rage" seems by far the most powerful example. Mr. Ostertag's stern, purifying gaze has swept away the sentimentality and melodrama that have compromised more famous compositions in the genre."
-- The New York Times
"I believe "All the Rage" will become an anthem for our time."
-- John Killacky, Walker Art Center

Iranian Mother-In-Law surprise visit to "help" for 10 days when I birth Baby, need advice
I am American Muslim living in Iran. I have a wonderful and kind husband and am 6 months pregnant. He is very sensitive and emotional and I love him so much and don't want to offend him. I know our cultures are opposite and that he overlooks a lot of things I do that may be rude in his culture but he doesn't seem to know I am doing the same. Soon after I became pregnant he told me his Mom was coming for ten days when I birth the baby to "help me". In my culture, this is extremely rude. I was shocked and tried not to show as much. Just talking to him a little about it I could see I was hurting him and offending him and he said she would not come now in a way I could see he was really upset. He mentioned about how my Mom lives with us and how unfair it is that his Mom can't even visit. My Mom is sickly and has no other reliable family. If she wasn't believe me she would not be here during the birth time either. I have even read that this can interfer with the baby-Mom bond.

I am not sure how American Muslim culture differs from mainstream American culture, but I think most American women (including myself) would like to have some help after the birth of the baby. Not necessarily with the care of the baby, but with other things that might be hard to do while caring for a newborn such as cooking, laundry, keeping the house tidy. And if you are caring for your mother as well, you will have your hands full after the baby is born and may NEED some help. Newborns are all-consuming, 24/7 jobs. Can you ask your husband to nicely talk to his mom and say something like "Just to avoid any hurt feelings or misunderstanding, we really appreciate you coming to help out. <Your name> is really looking forward to taking care of the baby herself, and it would be a huge help to us if you could help out with some of the other things so that she can focus on the baby." And then just do what you think is best with the baby and yourself - bathing, feeding, etc.posted 06/28/2011 by WillWork4Chocolate
I'm not of your culture but I am a new mother. I was terrified my mother in law would be problematic after the birth of my son but she turned out to be a LIFE SAVER! I don't know how things will be down the road but you have no idea how sleep deprived you really will be and having someone who loves your baby as much as you do watching him will really give you a much needed break. There's not much to do right now but feed/burp/change the baby, so just take it one day at a time and save yourself a lot of grief.posted 06/26/2011 by a BabyCenter Member
Hi! Ok- there is culture and there are boundaries. You have to respect one another's culture but you can't do anything to make yourself feel uncomfortable. There is no comparing the situation between your mother and his mother obviously. I think that you have to understand one thing about Middle Eastern Culture: the daughter usually moves into the mother's home for a month after birth (or the mother comes). Now, to Americans this may sound nuts, but it is meant to help the new mother--let you sleep, have cooked meals, and tidy house without having to pay. It is not going to hurt your mother-child bond (especially if nursing).Only you are your baby's mother.You need to set serious boundaries if your MIL is there and both you and your husband need to make sure they are respected by your MIL-otherwise you'll go nuts. If you don't feel comfortable with this then say no, even though Iranian men think their mothers are God (I'm married to one!) youre his wife and you come first!posted 07/06/2011 by CCCMamma
I understand that it is your cultural belief to only have the new mother interact with the new baby to ensure bonding. In your husbands culture offering support to a new mother is highly valued. I know you are proud of your ability to perform fully as wife and mother, but you will need to be respectfull of his & his mother's beliefs as well. If you insist that she only be a guest, you will be disrespecting her desire to help and only burden yourself with more work when you should be resting. Just set boundries about what she will be able to help with, such as only cooking and cleaning, which will allow yourself time to rest and recover. It does not degrade your abilities or dutifullness as a wife to allow her to help for such a short time. You can also be clear that you mean no offense, but insist that you will be fully in charge of caring for the baby. Try and give her a few moments to hold the baby throughout the day such as when you go to the bathroom or take a shower.posted 06/28/2011 by a BabyCenter Member
Why potentially risk harming your unborn child?posted 06/28/2011 by a BabyCenter Member
Smoking is linked to low birth rates, preterm labor, and also memory issues with the baby's brain after birth. I personally would not risk it! But due to your culture, it makes sense. By the way, I am not the person that posted below.posted 06/28/2011 by MommaSherman
Mabruk on your new baby! It may be more beneficial to let your mother-in-law help with your little one. She won't be there very long and it may do you well to have the extra set of hands during the transition from pregnant to mommy. She will not be there long enough to keep your baby from knowing who mommy is. Plus, this sacrifice is one that would make your husband and mother in law very happy. I too deal with a different culture with different customs in my own new family. Our family has the pregnant woman's sisters assist with delivery while his family utilizes both grandmothers as the father plays catcher. I made this concession for him, he couldn't be happier. My sisters were also on board after I explained the significance. For you, contentment could be as simple as realizing the extra help was worth it when you needed to bathe or speak with relatives on the phone. Try to compromise again, even if it isn't readily returned. Alhamdulilah baby is healthy and all of you are happy.posted 06/28/2011 by Roxalyn
What a nut job.posted 06/29/2011 by a BabyCenter Member
because nursing is all they do at first. I didn't want anyone to be there, while I was pregnant. Once baby was there, for the first 6 weeks I was so sleep-deprived that I don't REMEMBER those 6 weeks. Wish now I had had someone to help. And before you ask, my hubby helped A LOT (bringing baby for feedings, etc). But he doesn't really cook, or clean, or do any of the things I wanted to do and couldn't. Honestly, 10 days will fly by those first days, because you will be spending so much time healing and feeding baby, and trying to catch up on sleep. I also didn't want anyone around when I nursed, but after 2 doc, 3 nurses, and 4 interns (oh, my luck) watching me give birth, I kinda got over that. If other men were around, of course I would just get up and move to the other room, but my mother-in-law could hang out--I was too tired to care anymore. I really stressed about this before his birth, and now I wish I'd saved myself the trouble. It was great to have help!posted 06/26/2011 by FoshGirl
Your real fear is that your mil will be the one your child loves, but don't worry your child will know who his momma is and love his momma the most :) So don't worry about that. As far as everything else is concerned, you will not know what the heck is going on. Let your mil help, it will be good for you all. You won't even know she is there. Heck you won't know anything. I was delusional the first week. I didn't even know what day it was. I think may be you are taking things personally. Your loving hubby is letting your mother live with you and out of your kindness, you should let his mother come over for only 10 days. It will go by so fast believe me.posted 06/27/2011 by a BabyCenter Member

Spiraling Triple Towered Eco Skyscraper for Cairo
Posted By Bridgette Meinhold On July 2, 2010 @ 10:56 am In Architecture,Green Building | No Comments
Cairo deserves an eco-skyscraper [2] just as much as any other city and they couldn't ask for much more than this spiraling eco tower [3], designed by Mohamed Abdel-Aziz [4]. Called Space-Scraper, the eye-catching mixed-use development is composed of three twisting towers – one each for office, hotel and residential space, and a "geo-sphere" health center sits perched at the top. Powered by solar panels [5] and wind turbines, the skyscraper has optimized views of the adjacent Nile River and the nearby pyramids.
The eco tower [7] is supported by a wide ground floor podium, which contains seven floors of commercial space and includes restaurants, cinemas, and retail areas. Then three towers of varying heights spiral towards the sky and cradle a sphere which contains a health center with a spa, swimming pools and other fitness areas. The tallest of the towers contains office space, the medium has residential and the shortest has the hotel.
Located directly on the banks of the Nile River, in the Maadi neighborhood located in the southern part of Cairo [8], Space-Scraper was designed to take advantage of all the many nearby attractions, like the river, the pyramids and Cairo, which is not too far away. The tower's design was optimized to take in the views of the nearby attractions as well as to withstand the desert winds. Sustainable strategies include the use of water recollection systems, as well as building integrated solar panels and wind turbines [9].

Growing Cowpeas - Purple Pink Hulleye
Cowpeas are a beautiful, old-time southern pea. They thrive in hot, humid weather and are favored by many Southerners.
Purple Hull can be eaten young as a snap pea, but is mainly grown for dry peas, where the pods are left on the vine until they are mature and dry. The young, green shoots are also edible.
This heirloom is a bush to semi-vining plant that produces purple pods that are six to seven inches long. The pods grow in bunches which makes for easy harvesting. The seeds are cream colored with pink or purple eyes.
Plant in full sun when the danger of frost has passed, and the soil has warmed. Soak seeds for a couple of hours then sow one inch deep and four to six inches apart. Matures in 65-70 days.
Cowpeas are native to Nigeria, where they were originally transported to the New World aboard slave ships in the eighteenth century.
They are a carbohydrate loaded with calcium, protein, and minerals, and they also contain vitamins B6 and K.
It's a tradition with many in the south to serve southern peas on New Year's Day for prosperity in the New Year.
Best served with onions and cornbread!

It was standing room only at First United Methodist Church Sunday night, as the Chancel Choir and Orchestra put on a program titled, "A Patriotic Celebration." The concert, which honored the men and women of our nation's armed forces and local emergency responders, featured some of history's most beloved patriotic anthems. In between each selection, city officials narrated poems and pieces of written history, including an excerpt from "The Declaration of Independence." Colorado Springs Deputy Police Chief Steven Liebowitz, narrated a piece entitled "I Love America," before the Orchestra and Choir performed "America, the Beautiful." The song featured a solo performance by Natalie Jensen. One year ago this month, Jensen's husband, Det. Jared Jensen was shot and killed in the line of duty. Liebowitz says he is proud of Jensen's courage and was touched by her performance.
"To hear her sing," said Liebowitz, "and to see the joy in the song she sang and what it represents, it really speaks to your soul."
During its rendition of "Stars and Stripes Forever," the orchestra played a small part of each armed service anthem. During their respective anthems, the men and women of each military branch stood up to be recognized.

baby kicking at 16 weeks?
I am 16 weeks pregnant today and have been reading up on how and when you can feel the baby kick. There have been several several times where I questioned the feeling that was occuring. I wonder if the feelings is not the baby moving but my hopes that it is or if I can really feel the baby moving. Our ultrasound at 12 weeks showed the baby moving and flopping and kicking like crazy. I started feeling "questionable" sensations about 2 weeks ago but still wonder if its the real thing or if its just something I want so bad. I wish I knew whats really going on! A actual question I have though is it normal to sleep so much? Shouldnt I not be so tired since Im in my 2nd trimester? I get sooooo tired after simple activities like shopping for 45 minutes. Tired like I cant go on literally. Is that normal? My fiancee and his family are kinda getting irritated because I sleep so much. Are they being unreasonable or am I sleeping too much? I betcha cant tell that this is my first. LOL.

I am 16 weeks and I am constantly getting tired. By the time I'm finished cleaning the bedroom up, I feel ready for a nap. My mom used to think I was too tired and my iron levels were low just because I slept a lot. Once I spoke with the ob, he told me that it is perfectly normal and healthy to be tired.

I am 16 weeks and I know how you feel, I am tired all the time as well. Your body is going through major changes. This is my second pregnancy I have a 19 month old who is full of energy. Your fiancée should be more understanding but men never really understand what you are going through as for the rest of his family they must have forgotten what it was like to be pregnant. The most important thing is for you you to take care of yourself and the little person growing inside of you. Try eating foods with lots of protein that should boost your energy. Also I find that not pushing yourself helps works to. When I clean I take my time and afterwards when my daughter is sleeping or in your case when you are done errands or house work take a bubble bath. You we feel much better aft wards.posted 02/12/2013 by Amber249

Lawsuit filed by inmate who cracked tooth on M&M tossed by judge
On Monday, a federal judge gave inmate Juan Carlos Gonzalez something to chew on: He tossed out his suit against the Naples Jail Center for failing to fix a tooth allegedly cracked after Gonzalez bit down on what he called a "rock encrusted in chocolate" in his peanut M&M's, reports the Naples Daily News.
Gonzalez had been seeking money for his dental work, as well as pain and suffering, in his lawsuit.
Apparently the judge didn't thing the suit had any teeth, calling it "fatally flawed," according to the report.

Bank of America Extends MBS Settlement Talks
TheStreet) -- Bank of America (BAC - Get Report) will have additional time to negotiate in a dispute with a large bondholder group over about $47 billion in soured mortgage backed securities (MBS), the bank indicated in a press release Wednesday afternoon. Attorneys representing the bondholders, which include Pacific Investment Management Co., BlackRock (BLK - Get Report), and the New York Federal Reserve wrote a letter to Bank of America and Bank of New York Mellon (BK - Get Report), the trustee on the MBS, saying the loans in the MBS were not properly serviced by Countrywide, and should bew put back to Bank of America, which acquired Countrywide in 2008.The letter argued the issues should be fixed in 60 days or Countrywide should be declared in default on its obligations. But the press release Wednesday stated that both parties had agreed to "extend any time periods commenced by the Oct. 18 letter," adding "this extension will permit the parties to continue constructive dialogue around the concerns raised." The dispute is one of many Bank of America and other MBS underwriters, including Goldman Sachs (GS - Get Report), Morgan Stanley (MS - Get Report), Citigroup (C - Get Report) and several European banks are expected to contend with in the coming months and possibly years. Some analysts estimate for those institutions run well over $100 billion, though Bank of America is widely thought to have the greatest exposure to MBS putbacks. -- Written by Dan Freed in New York.NEW YORK (

No flu-based jail-visit restrictions in Placer County
By: Gus Thomson, Journal Staff Writer
Unlike the state prison system and some other California counties, Placer County Jail was allowing visitors Tuesday in the face of swine flu concerns. Capt. George Malim, jail commander, said none of the inmates in the main jail or minimum-security annex had been diagnosed with the illness and the Sheriff's Department was taking precautions that didn't include turning away visitors. Those precautions include posting advice for inmates, including the recommendation to wash their hands more frequently. Ventura, Tulare and Merced counties have all temporarily banned visits. Visits at all state prisons were suspended on Sunday. The state decision followed a possible case of swine flu being suspected at the Centinela State Prison in Imperial County. The state prison's acting chief physician executive Dr. Steven Ritter told the Associated Press that the closed doors statewide are a precautionary measure to protect the public, prisoners and prison staff. Lawyer, medical and social worker visits will continue. Malim said visits would continue to be allowed for the 550 inmates under Placer County supervision. The main jail on Richardson Drive in North Auburn has visitors and inmates separated by glass partitions and contacting each other by phone, he noted. The Sheriff's Department has greater concerns at the smaller minimum-security facility, where the partitions aren't in place, he said. While there had been no confirmed cases of swine flu in Placer County by late Monday, the county elections division is reminding residents that they still have time to request vote-by-mail ballots that would keep them away from public polling places. Requests for vote-by-mail ballots can be received by the elections division up to 5 p.m. May 12. Vote-by-mail ballots may be issued over the counter at the elections division office through May 19. Jim Gadney, county health assistant director, said Monday that the good news is that Placer has no documented cases. No new tests of samples from the county have tested positive. "And it's also good news that we're finding the virus is not moving at an unrealistic pace," Gadney said. "It's not progressing alarmingly swiftly."

The World's Slowest Porsche is Pedal-Powered
Posted By Ariel Schwartz On June 15, 2010 @ 7:00 pm In Green Transportation,Innovation | 4 Comments
Why ride a bike [2] when you can cruise down the street in a pedal-powered [3] Porsche? The Ferdinand GT3 RSX [4], designed by artist Hannes Langeder, scraps the Porsche [5]'s snazzy engine to make a lightweight, pedal-powered vehicle with tons of storage space.
The vehicle reportedly took over 1,000 hours to build using sticky tape, plastic pipes, and aluminum foil. Langeder explains the purpose of the pedal-powered Porsche: "The bicycle Porsche immediately raises the question, what was actually the function of the original, the real, ostentatiously powerful, roaring motor vehicle? For me as a passionate cyclist, this results in the associations outlined in the beginning: even the 400 HP powerhouse has no other function than to represent wealth, power or potency."
We would love to test-drive (or test-pedal) the Porsche [6], but it's currently on display at the Museum of Art Linz in Austria.

The unifying element of Torn Space Theater's recent work is the characters' search for meaning through human interaction. The environments in which these characters live appear to be designed and controlled by an external force that is never visible but always present. The characters lack autonomy and their memories, sensations, and experiences are not their own. Often times they are not aware that they are living within an experiment – where imposed ritual becomes an attempt to generate feeling for another – to where words generate thought, thought generates feeling, feeling becomes what is searched for. They are all searching, lost in a dream not their own, attempting to figure out where and who they are. Clues enter the space – investigations occur – a corpse is never found. In their world exposition occurs with the realization of a mystery. Gradually the characters understand that they have entered the unknown – crises occur when experiences dissolve into traces of something resembling the real thing – and when the climax arrives there is no one to confront. The mystery continues and as for a resolution the characters do not find an answer but so long as they continue to look there will be hope. In these landscapes hope is in searching.
All three productions are the result of a collaborative working process that has come to define Torn Space. The theatricality of our theater is the "external force"–the production elements trap, touch and alter the characters. The reality of the characters is a theatrical reality. Stage-lights, video, dripping fluid, shifting walls, sound are all consciously engineered; they activate the characters and their experiences. When the lights fade on the stage the characters return to a state of waiting – anxious and unsure whether their current memories are their last.

Pelosi's move stymies Steny
Nancy Pelosi has once again blocked Maryland Rep. Steny Hoyer from advancing to the top Democratic spot in the House of Representatives.
The first woman to serve as Speaker of the House announced this afternoon that she wants to be Minority Leader, which is the highest-ranking job she can get once she hands over the gavel to Republican Rep. John Boehner in January.
Given the left-leaning cast of the House Democratic caucus in the next Congress, she almost certainly has the votes she needs already. And that could leave Hoyer in second place, again.
The southern Maryland congressman, who lost to Pelosi in a pivotal leadership battle nine years ago, was regarded as heir apparent--if his longtime rival stepped down.
Instead, he's likely to run for the same spot he's been in since 2006, the second-ranking Democrat in the House. That position, of course, won't be worth nearly as much as his current job as Majority Leader, since Republicans will be in charge.
Hoyer's likely new job title: Minority Whip, the same post Pelosi held when she started her climb up the leadership ladder by besting Hoyer in 2001 (and which Hoyer had soon after, when Pelosi moved up again).
The Marylander might have to wage a fight for the post, however.
Rep. Jim Clyburn of South Carolina, the Majority Whip, has already announced his candidacy for Minority Whip. It's always possible that another spot in the leadership will be found for Clyburn, averting a messy contest between Hoyer and the highest ranking African-American in Congress.
Hoyer responded to Pelosi's announcement with a statement that he is "exploring" a run for Minority Whip. An aide confirmed that Hoyer is supporting Pelosi for Minority Leader.
Full text of Hoyer's statement after the jump.
Hoyer's announcement:
Speaker Pelosi has announced that she will be running for Democratic Leader in the next Congress.
In the days since the election, I have received an outpouring of support from Democratic colleagues who have told me that I should remain in our party's leadership, so that our Caucus can hit the ground running with a strong, tested leadership team.
Over the next several days, I will continue to speak to my colleagues about serving our Caucus as Democratic Whip, and I will announce a decision after I have consulted with them.
