Insulin resistance associated with altered fat partitioning in liver and adipose tissues is a prediabetic condition in obese adolescents. We investigated interactions between glucose tolerance, insulin sensitivity, and the expression of lipogenic genes in abdominal subcutaneous adipose and liver tissue in 53 obese adolescents. Based on their 2-h glucose tests they were stratified in the following groups: group 1, 2-h glucose level <120 mg/dL; group 2, 2-h glucose level between 120 and 140 mg/dL; and group 3, 2-h glucose level >140 mg/dL. Liver and adipose tissue insulin sensitivity were greater in group 1 than in group 2 and group 3, and muscle insulin sensitivity progressively decreased from group 1 to group 3. The expression of the carbohydrate-responsive element-binding protein (ChREBP) was decreased in adipose tissue but increased in the liver (eight subjects) in adolescents with impaired glucose tolerance or type 2 diabetes. The expression of adipose ChREBPα and ChREBPβ was inversely related to 2-h glucose level and positively correlated to insulin sensitivity. Improvement of glucose tolerance in four subjects was associated with an increase of ChREBP/GLUT4 expression in the adipose tissue. In conclusion, early in the development of prediabetes/type 2 diabetes in youth, ChREBPβ expression in adipose tissue predicts insulin resistance and, therefore, might play a role in the regulation of glucose tolerance.

Washit: A Washer That Washes Your Clothes While You Shower!
Posted By Imogen Russell-Head On September 17, 2012 @ 4:55 pm In Environment,Green Products,Green Technology,Innovation,Water Issues | 4 Comments
Four Turkish university students have developed Washit [1], a shower unit that collects and filters used water for washing clothes or showering. Ahmet Burak Aktas, Adem Onalan, Salih Berk Ilhan and Burak Soylemez first started Washit [1] as a university assignment, but they recently brought their project to a whole new level, winning the iF Concept Design Award 2012: Hansgrohe Special Award [2] for their water-saving design.
Washit [1] uses a closed plumbing system with two water pumps, three filters (carbon, organic and chemical), a UV cleaning phase, a heater and a water storage unit. While the user is having a shower, Washit gathers grey water from the bottom of the shower, passes it through the filters and UV unit, and sends the water to the storage unit. This stored water can then be used for further showering or washing clothes.
The team was inspired by the issue of excessive water use in the bathroom. They looked for a solution that "would fit to users' life easily without limiting anything about showering, which is a relaxing, calm and pure activity." From this came the idea of joining a shower and a washing machine.
Following the win, the students started the prototyping phase and are now working on various solutions with the help of their university tutors.

September 2000
I'm still a strong believer in direct action politics as a way of influencing political action in a quick and decisive manner, but I also realize having officials who are knowledgeable and sensitive to the issues related to HIV can save problems down the road. I have also begun to realize that often I'm not just voting for the "lesser of two evils," but voting for someone whom I believe will actually use their office to make life better for me and those I care most about.
Several years ago, someone commented in a letter sent to our office that they did not understand why AIDS Survival Project was involved with voter registration and political activity. The letter writer felt that these activities should take a back seat to educating people about opportunistic infections and fighting both pharmaceutical companies and medical bureaucracies. My concern is that many of you may agree with his sentiment that HIV is a medical issue, and that all this talk of politics is just a distraction from the real work to be done.
I don't think anyone around here would argue that knowing the voting record of your state senator is more important than taking steps to avoid PCP. I also know that we spend far more time trying to have an impact on how HIV-related services are provided than monitoring the political scene. Our advocacy work centers on health-related activities.
But for those of you who feel that politics is best left to someone else, let me ask you this: Do you receive assistance from Medicaid, Medicare, SSI, HOPWA or Ryan White? Has one of your health care providers received training from the Southeast AIDS Training and Education Center, or have you benefited from government-sponsored clinical trials? Do you think the CDC should be informing people of the risks associated with having unprotected sex or sharing contaminated needles? If you said "yes" to any of these, you really need to be concerned about who is elected.
All the decisions regarding the future of these services will ultimately be decided by elected officials. Whether the issue is funding, quality of service, or the procedure for determining who gets access, in the end it's voted on by politicians.
When we challenge you to be educated, be registered and vote, we are not asking you to ignore the basics of prevention of infections, treatment of HIV, and the right to be regarded by your service providers with dignity and respect. We are trying to point out to you that with empowerment comes responsibility. Every day, people take the responsibility for making their own health care decisions and for speaking up to an insensitive service provider. In the same way, folks need to take responsibility for overseeing the political process.
Remember that, ultimately, this is the process that makes decisions regarding everything from the types of drugs you can access to the types of housing you can live in. Just as Operation: Survive! is the first step in empowering yourself to take care of your health, voting is the first step in empowering yourself to take care of your health care system!
If you are not currently registered to vote, or if you have moved since the last primary or general election, you will need to register to vote at least 30 days before the November election. This year's deadline for registering is the first week in October. You may register by contacting your local library or county voter registration office. If you are an AID Atlanta client, you can ask your case manager about registering through their agency. We also have voter registration materials available at our office that we'll be happy to send you if you give us a call.

Buyback Size Effect?
Posted in Buybacks-Secondaries, Size Effect
February 1, 2012
Do companies reliably repurchase their stocks at bargain prices, thus providing signals for investors to tag along? In the January 2012 update of their paper entitled "Do Firms Buy Their Stock at Bargain Prices? Evidence from Actual Stock Repurchase Disclosures", Azi Ben-Rephael, Jacob Oded and Avi Wohl use detailed repurchase data from SEC filings since the beginning of 2004 (effective date for amendments requiring detailed reporting) to examine the timeliness of open market repurchases. Unlike much prior research, they focus on repurchase executions and not announcements. Using information from 10-Q and 10-K filings about actual monthly stock repurchases by S&P 500 firms (as of January 2004) and contemporaneous share price data for 2004 through 2006 (14,669 monthly observations for 416 firms with at least one repurchase), they find that: (more…)

Hemodialysis requires access to blood vessels capable of providing rapid extracorporeal blood flow. These requirements are currently best met by both primary arteriovenous (AV) fistulas and synthetic grafts. (See "Arteriovenous fistulas and grafts for chronic hemodialysis access".)
A discussion of the treatment of venous stenosis and thrombotic complications of hemodialysis AV grafts is presented in this topic review. Issues surrounding clinical monitoring and surveillance of AV grafts to prevent thrombosis are presented in detail separately. (See "Monitoring and surveillance of hemodialysis arteriovenous grafts to prevent thrombosis".)
Underlying stenosis of the vascular access circuit is an important predictor of graft or fistula thrombosis. Therefore, angioplasty of a stenotic lesion has been advocated as the treatment of choice to prevent graft or fistula thrombosis and/or failure of the vascular access.
In general, preemptive angioplasty of the stenotic lesion in grafts is not a permanent treatment due to its short primary and secondary patency (defined as time to next radiologic or surgical intervention and time to complete failure of the access, respectively). Even after an excellent technical success (visual inspection at time of the angioplasty), which is close to 100 percent, the low rates of access patency at three, six and twelve months are discouraging [1-7].
In fistulas, the treatment can be divided into two arms. One is the use of angioplasty as a form of treatment to salvage immature fistulas, and the second is the angioplasty of a stenotic lesion on a matured fistula.

Antigo tennis sweeps Medford, Phillips
The Antigo boys tennis team finished its conference dual meets in grand fashion Tuesday, defeating Medford and Phillips with identical 7-0 scores, they did it without dropping a single flight.
We needed two strong matches to give us the point lead heading into our conference meet at Lakeland this Saturday, coach Dave Zalewski explained. Now we are ahead in points and have momentum going into the weekend. I told the boys before the match that every single point mattered and everyone took this to heart and did their job.
Versus Medford and then Phillips, the Robins made it a pair of quick matches in sweeping both doubles and singles events.
The toughest match of the day came at No. 1 singles as Brett Haakenson encountered a solid Phillips player who pushed him to 6-4 in the first set.
Haakenson added some variety to his game with chip shots to bring Andrew Slade of Phillips to the net, then lobbing over him and following up work the angles and win the points.
Four of the Antigo flights are currently undefeated in conference playHaakenson at No. 1 singles, Ben Kryka at No. 3 singles, Colin Bastle and Kyle West at No. 1 doubles and Joe Novak and Brian Bartletti at No. 2 doubles.
So far Antigos top two double teams are hitting the ball with deep penetrating groundstrokes and following it up with aggressive net play, something the coach expects to continue.
I am so proud of what this team has accomplished so far this year. Coaching this group of players has been a lot of fun, Zalewski added.
Antigo heads to Shawano Thursday for a non-conference dual before the conference meet Saturday in Minocqua.

This Valentine's Day, show that special someone how much you care by giving a gift that's from the heart and for their heart. After all, February is American Heart Month!
Heart disease is preventable and treatable, yet it's the number one killer of both men and women. In the United States, about 600,000 people die each year from heart disease. So, rather than going out and indulging in that three-course meal, sitting for hours while seeing that blockbuster hit, or sharing a big box of chocolates think of healthier alternatives that you could both do together.
If you're drawing a blank, try out these heart-healthy ideas:
- Surprise your significant other with a heart-healthy breakfast in bed. Oatmeal is chock-full of heart healthy nutrients like omega-3 fatty acids, magnesium, potassium, calcium, and fiber. Top with fresh fruit and walnuts for an extra healthy meal. Or try this heart-healthy recipe for delicious Whole-Wheat Pancakes. Cut them into a heart shape with a cookie cutter and top with fresh strawberries!
- Make a romantic heart-healthy meal together! Try this succulent Honey Soy Salmon recipe. Not a fan of seafood? Then how about this Pork Tenderloin with Ginger-Peach Sauce? Both are healthier alternatives than eating out at a restaurant. Plus, you'll have fun cooking together!
- Forget about the big box of chocolates for dessert. Instead, try this Dark Chocolate Fondue with Fresh Fruit. Make it even healthier by substituting nonfat yogurt or low-fat soy milk instead of cream.
- The couple that trains together stays together! Plan a gym date and workout together. Whether you're taking a group class or designing your own routine, working out together and motivating one another can strengthen your relationship while also strengthening your heart. Check out these fun partner exercises! (Fun tip: Put together a love-themed playlist to keep you both pumped up during your workout.)
- How about a massage to relieve some stress? High levels of stress can result in high blood pressure, chest pains, irregular heartbeat, or even a heart attack! Schedule a couple's massage so the two of you can relax together.
Don't let yourself or your significant other become a victim to heart disease. Remind them how much you care and give the gift of a healthy heart this Valentine's Day.

Professional golfer Jeff Maggert says the man killed Thursday in a single-engine plane crash near Black Hawk was his brother, Barry, of Carbondale.
Jeff Maggert withdrew from The Players Championship in Florida yesterday, telling tournament officials that his brother had been killed in a small plane crash in Colorado.
The Aspen Daily News reported the Cessna that crashed was co-owned by Barry Maggert and Carroll Winkler, who said Maggert was flying to Boulder for the graduation of his son, Lee, from the University of Colorado.
Authorities say the pilot was 55, and a passenger was 23. The injured 23-year-old was flown to a Denver hospital.
Alpine Rescue Team spokesman Bill Barwick says crews will bring the pilot's body down from the crash site today.
The plane went down approximatly 40 miles west of Denver.
Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Mike Fergus in Seattle says one of the people on board called 911 from a cell phone after the crash.

2 fish have acted lethargic and didnt eat resulting in death
ok so i have a 55 gallon thats been set up for a year. the current stock is
4-quarter sized angels
8-cherry barbs
8-juvenile eastern mountain swordtails
1-syno petricola
1-bristlenose pleco
a lot is being moved around so do not put any comments about stocking. all fish are juveniles except the cherry barbs and ram. params are 0-ammo, 0-nitrite, 10-nitrate. filteration is 1 tetra 30-60 and one aquatech 30-60. 75%+ water changes weekly. moderately planted. i put my hand in the tank today and it felt colder than it should be. i plan on getting the temp tommorrow (forgot) so the problem is ive had 2 deaths in the past week. i quarentine all fish so it cant be from any new fish. what has happened is he fish begin to act weak and lethargic and dont eat much if any then they slowely starve and at the end they can barely swim. so far ive lost a beautiful angel and a beautiful gold ram. the angel died while i was gone on vacation a week ago and the ram died a few days ago. so heres a break down of it all
-cant be from new fish, all mine are quarentine for atleast 2 weeks but for this tank fish were quarentined for a month or more.
-cant be from bad paramaters (theyre perfect)
-could be from temp swings. my rooms ac isnt working properly so the temp of the tank could be changing plus the heater didnt even feel like it was working today.
well thats all i can think of at the moment.

When I have mixed content (SSL and non-SSL on a
https:// page), I would rather have a broken page than an insecure page.
Is there any way to disable the loading of non-SSL elements while on an https page?
HTTPS everywhere by the EFF may suit your needs it only supports a limited number of sites though. For non-supported sites you may need to find another option. https://www.eff.org/https-everywhere
On internet explorer 9 there is a "block unsecured images with other unsecured content" and a "display mixed content" enable/disable/prompt settings that should also help. Haven't found these type of settings for chrome or firefox yet but I would suspect that firefox's about:config would have similar settings.

♦ History |
Anja Volkov, it was her previous name. Russia, it was her previous home. All of it were changed in a flick of a finger, bringing light to the child who had seen the darkness. Natalya's past is rough, as she doesn't want to remember any of her past life before she was adopted until now. It was horrible for her, it nearly led her to be traumatized for life which fortunately didn't happen.At a young age, she had already experienced hardships, these includes child labor and harrasment. In addition to that, her mother died which led the horrible experiences Natalya had. The cause of her problems is her own flesh and blood, her father himself. It was him who caused Natalya to fear and dislike men, clouding her mind of the thought that all males are like that.However, all things changed when Natalya got hospitalized. She was taken to the hospital by an English Researcher named Mary Kendrick, accompanied by her partner Sam Barrett. They found her lying down on the streets, passed out and thin, as if she wasn't eating. As soon as both knew of her condition, they immediately got onto work and adopted Natalya and after the two's research ended, they moved back to England along with their new daughter.Natalya's new life wasn't that bad, in fact it was great. The two gave her everything she wanted, they taught her well; to become a great scientist like them and a good person and give her the love she lacked. To Natalya, even is she's adopted, she felt like the two of them are her real parents, even if they were both female. Ofcourse, there were some minor bullying here and there when she was studying but she just brushed it off. She lived on a great life from then on forward.When Sam recently heard about a new technological advancement, Lullaby-Moon, she instantly informed her family about it. Upon knowing that it's a game, Natalya became interested even if she doesn't play games that much. Still, the concept of the entire thing got her and so she volunteered to study it. Both of them agreed, as they don't have enough free time to study it themselves. Thus, new adventures and new lessons begin for Natalya.

♦ Gender |Female designed Humanoid
♦ Class |Class E
♦ Level |Level 1
♦ Weapon / Fighting Style |Weapon: Smasher V0.1A basic gauntlet and boots designed for fighting, nothing else.Fighting Style: Brawling and Martial ArtsLeif uses this kind of technic to incorporate with her weapon. She usually uses strike-based attacks, hitting her opponents with her fists and feet. Leif sometimes switches her techniques in fighting; using Kung-Fu, Boxing, Taekwondo, or Muay Thay so her way of fighting is sometimes unexpected.

♦ Relationships |Sam Barett - stands as Natalya's father ; adoptive parent
Mary Kendrick - stands as Natalya's mother ; adoptive parent
♦ Other Information |Leif is made by Natalya's subconscious, and she was made using the thoughts of her deceased mother. Also, some traits of her that Natalya herself doesn't accept rests in Leif.
Leif is based off Natalya's fifth miniature robot, the one that actually worked. The machine's right scanner (eye), however, doesn't seem to work, thus Leif being blind in her right eye.
Natalya stands by her parent's words: " Love knows no boundaries, dear. Follow your heart, choose who you think is right for you. "
Natalya has a habit of groping her female friend's chests from the back. ( www )
Natalya has some bit of interest in Leif. ( www )
Leif's gas mask colour ( the red ones ) changes to colour depending on her mood.
Red is usual, yellow is shy/blushing, blue for angry, green for "what the hell?"
♦ Roleplay Example |
Literature RP:The partners walks side by side as both explore the virtual world, admiring its amazing and unique technological feature, well maybe not for Leif that much. Natalya advanced ahead of her Pheous, walking infront of her backwards as they continue to explore. " Don't you think this is amazing? ", the brunette cheerfully said and ending the question with a smile. The tall girl only looked at her before giving her master a slight nod. The joyous girl frowned, not amused at her answer. " Upuu~ Can't you be more responsive? It feels like I'm the one-- ah! ", her sentence was cut short as she tripped on her own feet backwards, only to be caught by Leif. " ... I'll try master, and please be careful next time. ", she softly said causing her master to smile.
Script RP:Natalya: *walking infront of Leif backwards* Don't you think all of this is amazing, Leif? *grins*
Leif: *looks at her* ... *nods*
Natalya: Upuuu~ Can't you be more responsive? It feels like I'm-- *trips on her foot* --ah! *
Leif: *catches her before she fell* ... I'll try, master, and please be careful next time.
Natalya: *grins* Got it!
♦ Roleplay Methods |
I usually role-play using the script format but if you like literature role-play then I'm fine with it!I role-play anywhere: chatroom (if there's one), comments, notes, and even Facebook (much easier because I can reply faster) but I'm not really that okay role-playing in Skype due to Skype being a big tick to me.
-> "You have earned 100 SB. Welcome to LULLABY MOON, please enjoy your stay."

Another wood pellet operation appears headed to set up shop at a the Morehead City State Port to send the product to Europe.
Council of State members voted Tuesday to give the final sign-off on a deal approved last week by the North Carolina State Ports Authority so a company called WoodFuels can build a $25 million export facility.
The agreement covers up to 20 years, and allows WoodFuels to lease port property to collect, store and load the pellets, which are in high demand in European countries shifting away from coal-burning energy operations to wood.
A similar agreement with another company for the Wilmington port was approved earlier this year.
State officials say the Morehead City deal could result in at least 150 direct and indirect jobs.

West End premiere - starring Rupert Everett - for acerbically witty two-hander about a couple of actors marooned in a Spanish desert Somewhere in the middle of Spain. A Winnebago caravan is parked on some wasteland at the base of a mountain. It is raining heavily. Brad, an American, is sprawled on a seat at the rear of the Winnebago. He is wearing sixteenth-century costume... The door opens. Stuart, an Englishman, struggles up the steps. He has a bag in one hand, a plate and coffee cup in the other. He, too, is half-dressed in costume, over which he wears an anorak. His head is covered with a transparent plastic hood to keep the rain off his wig... Marooned on location miles from anywhere, confined in a tiny space by the unrelenting rain, film actors Brad and Stuart can do no filming. Instead they taunt and maul each other in a magnificently sustained verbal duel, a love-hate clash of cultures, countries and personalities. Based on the author's own, bleak experience, Wet Weather Cover premieres in the West End in autumn 2006 produced by Robert Fox and starring Rupert Everett, with further casting to be announced. The play was first seen at the Royal Court in a reading given by John Malkovich and the author.

Commentary: Reaction to Marathon horror offers reasons to believe in good
Some of my favorite pictures are with family, friends, running partners, either as we crossed the finish line, or embraced thereafter. Among the best? Raising my left arm, hands locked with my close friend, Andrew, as we crossed the finish of the Wisconsin Marathon, our first such race. Shortly thereafter, a photographer captured an image of me embracing my exhausted wife.

Leading by example, President Barack Obama received his H1N1 vaccination from a White House nurse on Sunday. A few days earlier, Mrs. Obama was also immunized against the deadly swine flu outbreak.
Until recently, the H1N1 vaccine was restricted to high-risk groups, such as children — Obama's children Malia, 11, and Sasha, 8, received their shots in October — but now the vaccine is available to the general public.
"I think people just need to understand if I had the two people that are most important in my life, my two daughters, get it right away… then you need to make sure your children get it as well," Mr. Obama said.
The President urged everyone to follow suit, assuring the public that the vaccine is safe.

Hi Doc. Sorry for this long overdue testimonial.
I experienced a bad breakup last 2010. It hurt like you would not believe. I endured the horrible feeling of insecurity until that fateful day when I came accross a Shimmian ad in one of the magazines I was browsing through while waiting for my ortho appointment. The first thing that caught my attention was the amazing before and after pictures of the client who underwent rhinoplasty procedure. The transformation was amazing! I really liked that the nose job did not look fake at all. I think I decided, within minutes of seeing that ad, that I would want to have my nose done as well. It has been the bane of my existence since my teen years. A lot of people would complement my looks but always with a side note saying "except your nose". It was especially difficult to pose for pictures because I just couldn't find the right angle to make my nose look smaller. I soon did a lot of research about Shimmian and Dr. Lansangan. The website was most helpful because all the facts were there, even the pictures. So without much ado, I scheduled an appointment with Dr. Lansangan and had my face, particularly my bulbous nose, evaluated. I must say I was pleasantly surprised to learn that he is not at all stiff like most doctors are hehe. He was very accommodating and answered all my questions enthusiastically. If I had any 2nd thoughts at first, all hesitations were thrown out the window the minute I sat down with Doc. When the day of the operation arrived, I wasn't nervous at all. I put my complete trust on Dr. Lansangan and his competent staff. As expected, the operation went well, I did not feel any pain at all even after the anesthesia wore off already. And the best thing about it, no sign of scars! I had to endure a month of bruising and a little swelling but it was all worth it! I now enjoy a new, beautifully structured nose that fits my face. Not only do I enjoy having my pictures taken, now I can also smile without being self-conscious. This is by far the best decision that I have done in my adult life. Thank you Dr. Lansangan! *_^

I would like to give my testimonial on Dr. Levi's talent and great services.
I had my rhinoplasty last May 9, 2011 . It has totally changed my life. I admit beauty is very important in society. I had been ridiculed all my life for my ugly nose and became socially awkward. But after getting the procedure. I love my new nose, it changed the way people treat me, it has given me so much more confidence in life. The goretex implant is so natural and doesn't hurt any more and it becomes more beautiful day by day. Thank you so much for creating a natural beautiful nose for me.There truly are no words to say enough thanks for changing peoples' lives for the better. God bless and more power.
Hi Dr. Levi hope your doing well….. once again i want to thank you for a great job and its really look so natural my nose i love my new look.
i have attached 2 photos.
Regards to you friendly staff.
Doc Lansangan,
Kamusta na ko po? It's been 3 months since I had my rhino and chin augmentation procedure done at your clinic and I would like to let you know that I am very pleased and greatly satisfied with the development. I received lots of positive compliments and praise from friends, colleagues, and relatives. They said that my nose looks so natural and most of them were so influenced that they wanted to go through with the procedures. I forwarded your web site via email to the ones that are highly interested.
I am schedule to visit Philippines again late Dec 2012 or early Jan 2013. I would like to get my upper eyelid modified (Blepharoplasty). Can you please give me an idea the cost of this procedure? Also, can you recommend Hair Transplant Surgeon in manila that is experienced with hair grafting?
Thank you so much and dakal pong salamat Doc.
Dear Dr. Levi,
I'm so thankful for what you have done to my nose, it's only 8 days after surgery but I really love my new nose, I do appreciate of all your efforts together with all your staff for the amazing result. Again thank you so much! And more power, your service is highly recommended to everyone who wants to enhance their beauty. However could you advice me what moisturizer should I apply in my nose since my nose is getting dry, it is possible to apply skinol for the main time to remove the dirt to avoid more blackheads around my nose, I'm scared to wash it properly due to I can feel that my wound still fresh inside. Awaiting for your response J attached is my picture.
God Bless you and to your family circle.
Ms. Hilda Orca
hi Dr. Levie…I am one of your patients who had goretex rhinoplasty last 2007. You really made a very good procedure on me (it looked so natural except for some "little" unflattened, but not so obvious scars even after 3 years) and you totally changed my confidence and outlook in life. Truly, the world is so bias when it comes to beauty, beauty is always equated with more opportunities. I am now also practicing as a physician. I am on training now, but I wanted to ask how much budget should I prepare if I decide to get some paranasal augmentation this time to balance my rhinoplastic procedure? You already suggested this last time and I was haunted for three years thinking I should have listened to you…but last time, i really dont want to shock everyone for a complete make-over, especially my parents and friends. Now it's been three years and like a butterfly, I wanna change again for the better…a paranasal augmentation is also timely since I'm already in my 30s now and I wanna stay with my 20s look…is it also goretex? i so love goretex, it's so natural on me and I'm not worried about the rejection effects…you know how we doctors are so critical about it…so if you have time, please send me a reply here…thank you very much and hope to hear from you soon…oh just in case you wanna review my files, you can check on the medical records on October 2007 with patient's name A.U., thanks and more power!
Hi Dr. levi
Let me greet you a happy and a blessed New year, wishing you
all the best for the new year that brings. I am healing really well but now
that its winter here in HK i would occasionally feel the pain on my incision i
guess its because of the weather. My nose is healing perfect and I have never
been so happy.
Hope you and Doctora are doing well. Again all the best for
All the best,
Good evening Dr. Lansangan. Thank you for everything! I have seen

unbelievable! I am super grateful and I love it so much. My friends find it so
exquisitely crafted and they even said it doesnt look done at doesn't .It
looks super natural! My parents and my sister saw the pics as well and they
find the change unbelievable. My mom is very happy and agrees that Shimmian is
indeed the BEST in the country.Vashti is excited for her rhinoplasty as well.
I look forward to seeing you and the nurses of Shimmian again in a month

Good day, I would like to write you a testimonial regarding the rhinoplasty you have performed on me. Prior to getting the operation, i did my research and I am not regretting that I came to your clinic. You really proved your philosophy of making the nose harmonious with the face unlike most clinics who try to feed on the patient's desire to look like their favorite actor. My nose is healing and it really looks natural. People that's not really close to me at work barely notice unless I tell them. I do get compliments that there is something new and pleasant about my looks. I even wish I could have done it at an earlier age. I vow to be your walking adverstisement cos you really deliver on your promise.
thank you for not making me look like those celebrity's that got bliinded by this over rated clinics. You know your job and you really do it well, Im really happy. It makes me confident of my future.
Thank you, Noseboy
Dr. Levi, this is Stephanie I will be in Manila
on the 25th,
I will come by on the 26th.
Love my nose, Very happy
Thank you so much,
Dear Doctor Levi,
Hi Doc.I supposed to send you this email couple of weeks ago but a sad circumstances hinders me to do this.when i arrived here from holiday a really bad news shocked me.my 30 year old cousin diagnosed with acute leukemia and died last week.since the day i arrived i helped out my auntie to deal with the circumstances so i was busy and distressed.But the good thing is am still good in spirit and still pretty .. coz you make me more prettier..
Its nearly 3 months since i had my rhinoplasty and i can't wait to thank you once again and to tell you my short story. Yesterday i was helping my friend browsing your link on the web and proudly telling her about how great doctor you are,and to my surprise, there i was! My photo on the photo gallery with very nice caption above! We couldn't believe what we saw.Full of excitement,straight away i rung up my family in philippines to hurry and quickly have a look at my photos on your web.They rang me back and said the result was extraordinary,they were amazed about how huge the improvement of my entire looks! I feel like a celebrity ^-^ That is my story but i have more to tell you..
It was so uplifting to hear a lot of compliments from people saying how young and pretty i look! Some even said i look more half-caste (mestiza) than pure filipina but they cant guess exactly what have changed! Some thought its my new haircut,or my eyes and make up!
You're exactly right Doc no one can ever guess what i had done why i look the way i am now,unless i told them of course? my nose looks oh so natural! What a marvelous result! All these i owed to you my lovely and truly gifted Doctor,Doctor Levi Lansangan.
I will never forget you doc. I will always thank you everyday and forever.
Also a sincere thanks to 2 other doctors and all nurses who assisted during my operation.They were very nice,friendly and warm.It made me feel more comfortable and welcome. You are all amazing!
Doc from now on i will be one of your "walking ads". Actually I have recommended you to all my friends who have similar beauty concerns. They will come and see you one day soon.
Thank you and more thanks from the bottom of my heart.
In few days time I will send you my 3-months post-op photos. Thank you for spending time reading my story. God bless you always.. I love Doc. Levi.

"Goretex is amazing! I had a contracted nose because of my silicone implant which I had for over ten years. Initially my nose looked good but everybody could tell that I had an operated nose. I had to change a bit of my lifestyle since it was risky to go on scuba diving with a silicone inside my nose. But no matter how careful I was, it failed to retain the look of my nose. Worse, I developed nasal contraction. I was so worried and distressed. It was a nightmare for me until in one of my trips I met a friend in Korea who was a patient of Dr. Lansangan. Back in the Philippines I consulted him at Shimmian Manila and had a revision rhinoplasty the next day – this time using a goretex implant. Dr. Lansangan is so good that he was able to restore my nose without any traces of previous complications. Now, my nose looks even better and very natural-looking. Just perfect for my face. I don't have enough words to express how thankful and how satisfied I am. These days, when I get to talk to my friends and relatives who consider having a noselift, I always tell them to think about it a thousand times. Just go for the best implant material and make sure their surgeon is as skilled and experienced as Dr. Lansangan."
Lorraine Sanchez, 37 (Filipino)
"God may have not blessed me with good looks when I was born. But He blessed you with extraordinary talent, expertise and artistry to enhance it and keep me looking the way I have always wanted to be. ! I do feel so much more confident about my face. Now, I love posing in front of the camera. God really works in mysterious ways."
Joseph Kang Kim, 19 (Korean)
"You are such a master. Thank you so much for making me more beautiful – my nose is so beautiful. I love you doc! I love goretex too! I will be back in the Philippines late this year for my fat transfer."
Christine Correa, 39 (FilAm)
" From the start I knew I didn't want to come out of this experience looking like someone else. I wanted to still look like myself – ONLY BETTER. To achieve the natural results I was searching for I knew that all I needed was a doctor with an artistic eye who specialized in rhinoplasty. When I met you, I knew you were that doctor. Thank you for the incredible job you did on both my nose and chin. I am truly grateful that I found you. I am even happier that I chose you as the surgeon to help me. It wasn't a hard decision. Your wonderful staff made me feel comfortable and confident from the very first consultation. Looking through the pictures of the past patients only made that security and confidence stronger.
Nikki, 29 (Filipino)
"My nose is so beautiful! I love it! Nobody can tell. People just keep telling me I seem to look younger and more beautiful. But they can't really tell. I love doc! They think it's my new hairstyle."
Kai Santos, 17 (Filipino)
"I thank & respect your work profusely. I won't tire telling you again and again how incredibly happy you've made me! For the first time in my whole life, only now I get complimented by lots of people who don't know what's different in me– but tell that I look so great. Gotta love that! I am so grateful to have been your patient – you are an exceedingly gifted doctor! "
Rita Gonzales, 22 (Filipino)
"At first I thought I would regret it because your price is very low compared to the prices of goretex noselift in Korea . But I'm glad I was wrong. My nose looks like I was operated in Korea – it's so natural and beautiful. I am definitely more beautiful now. That makes life more enjoyable for me. Thank you so much for everything."
Michelle Park Sung Duk, 23 (Korean)
"Thank you, thank you, thank you, for finally giving me a normal nose. You and your staff are absolutely AWESOME!!!!!!!! This was my 3rd and final nose surgery. Bye bye to silicone implant! I am so thankful that I did my research for a specialized revision rhinoplasty surgeon and found Dr. Lansangan. I was very wary about finally getting the last surgeon's mishaps taken care of. Until I met Dr. Lansangan who immediately put me at ease and listened to my concerns. I appreciate his patience to put all of my fears to rest. Then the actual surgery-WOW!- you did a great job. Thank you taking for taking your time (4 hours of meticulous surgery huh!) and my nose turned out beautiful! You truly are gifted and pay attention to details. Thank you for caring. It was a pleasant experience."
Melissa Tan, 42 (FilChinese)
"I'm so happy to see my daughter's "new" nose. It doesn't look like operated. You did a wonderful job doc! We didn't have to fly back to Korea to have a very good nose job. You saved us a lot of money. Sure I will have my facelift done by you."
Jenny Lee Aei, Age (Korean)
"My new nose looks like it fits my face and no one would EVER guess I had it done. No one believes me when I tell them I had a noselift. A day after my nasal splint was removed, my nose was still a bit swollen when my parents mentioned that I looked so much younger and more beautiful but they couldn't exactly pinpoint why. They didn't notice that it was my nose though it looks very different than it did. Good thing there is GORETEX noselift, my nose looks so natural. I'm very thankful to Dr. Lansangan and the entire staff of Shimmian Manila Surgicenter. I highly recommend to anyone thinking about getting any type of cosmetic surgery done (especially a nose job), to visit his clinic and see Dr. Lansangan."
Joy Conanan, 34 (Filipino)
"I used to be camera-shy. But now who cares if I take my pictures in the middle of the traffic, or right when I wake up. I'm just so beautiful these days, I couldn't help to admire myself. You should visit my internet blog doc. You're great!."
Akira Yamada, 20 (Japanese)
"Dr. Lansangan literally changed my life and the way I look at myself. A year ago,I had a rhinoplasty (nose job) performed by Dr. Lansangan. I didn't have a bad nose, I just wanted to slightly refine what I was born with. I was extremely nervous about the whole thing, though I knew that this was something that I definitely wanted to do and I had been shopping around many plastic and cosmetic surgeons. It was not until I walked into the offices of Shimmian Manila Surgicenter that I finally became comfortable. It was actually an accident. I was scheduled for my urinalysis in once of the clinics at Medical Plaza when I met a patient in the lift who had a mask on her face. When I asked her why, she told me she just had a noselift with a Korean-trained facial plastic surgeon. That was enough to interest me because she looked very satisfied even she still had that mask on her face. My accidental consultation was amazing. The entire staff was very accommodating – they all made me feel so comfortable and were involved and cared every step of the way. Dr. Lansangan even showed me a computer imaging of how I would look like more or less after my surgery. He patiently answered all of my concerns about having a noselift. Through him, I had my first education on different kinds of nose implants – from silicone to GORE-TEX to cartilage. I was cared for so nicely by everyone involved, I felt very safe and comfortable on the day of my surgery. In the days following after that, not only did Dr. Lansangan call me at home to check on me personally, but so did the staff and the anesthesiologist. As for the results, I could never have asked for anything as beautiful as what I ended up with! I look like I have the nose that I should have been born with, it is so beautiful. Thank you, you guys have changed my life."
Marianne Rulloda French, 31 (FilAm)
"For over thirty years, I had been very disgusted with my nose. But the thought of undergoing the knife was really terrifying coupled with the bad experiences of my friends who had silicone implants. I've seen how their nose got worse and uglier after a few years of operation. It took me a lot of research, mental and emotional conditioning, and a lot of shopping around many surgeons before I finally had the guts. Thanks to Dr. Lansangan for addressing all of my fears and apprehensions. When I had my first consultation with him I knew I found the right doctor to do it on me. And I knew that goretex would be the best for me. I'm only one week post-op but the results are already amazing. I feel fortunate to have been in such expert and careful hands."
Rica Villavicencio , 37 (Filipino)
"Thank you for the incredible job you did with my nose, eyes and chin. I love the results! It's exactly what I wanted! You understood my needs perfectly! You are an amazing artist!"
Eric Perez, 24 (Filipino)
"Thank you for putting a smile on my face – literally! These days, all I need to do when I feel bad is to look at the mirror. It works like magic. I couldn't help to feel good about myself and the way I look now. I love my new nose. My eyes became more beautiful and my chin more pronounced even if the only thing you did was my nose. I can't tell you how thrilled I am with the results! I am so happy I did this. You've been great, and I really appreciate it. Thanks so much. I really appreciate your efforts to make me look the way I look now."
Lalaine Orlando, 18 (Canadian)
"Doc, I now feel like a movie star! My new nose does me great wonders! Don't be surprise if suddenly you see me on TV. That means I finally made it with my new look."
Kim Sung Ji, 17 (Korean)
"My worst fears of undergoing a cosmetic surgery never happened with Dr. Lansangan. I've seen a lot whose nose surgeries turned out too small, alars remained wide and not in harmony with the nose and the rest of the face, or a chin too long. The entire week after my nose and chin augmentation surgery, almost every night I had nightmares like that. Just before the splint and the bandages were removed, I had mixed emotions. I was excited to see how I would look but at the same time I was scared. But when I finally looked at the mirror, I was so amazed! Though my nose and chin were still swollen, I could already see the harmony and proportion that I had always wanted. I honestly could not have imagined a better result. The best part of all is that I got what I had always wanted. I STILL LOOK LIKE ME, ONLY BETTER. To finally feel comfortable in my own skin is such an amazing feeling, and it is a bit difficult to really express that in words. The best I can do is to give you a heartfelt thank you for what you have done for me. I could not have found a better doctor or better people. You're a Heaven's gift to me."
Neri Gutierrez, 33 (Filipino)
"I'm sorry I didn't get this to you sooner. I just wanted to thank you and the entire staff for everything that you did for me while preparing for my revision rhinoplasty. I just want to commend you for the caliber of surgeon that you are! I have never had a doctor spend so much time with me; explaining every aspect of the surgery. You made sure that you understood all of my needs and concerns, and that I understood in detail every part of the surgical process. I have never had a doctor that was so detailed in the pre and post care of surgery. I truly believe that it is what made the difference in my outcome. I have had previous rhinoplasty surgeries and have never healed too quickly! I do attribute some of that to all the precautionary measures that you took (arnica, platelet gel, oral steroids, etc). Your stellar surgical skills made my speedy recovery possible. I also want to thank your entire staff for their kindness and consideration through what was really quite an ordeal for me. Jenny was really helpful and patient in explaining your billing process and any questions I had relating to the procedure. Marlyn and Luz, the nurses who assisted you during my surgery were very comforting and attentive to my needs. I never felt I was away from home. I will definitely recommend you to ANYONE needing any facial plastic surgery, but especially one of the most difficult procedures, Revision Rhinoplasty. I used to love Philippines only because of my Filipina wife and the nice sceneries. Now I have more reasons to like it even better."
Shinohara, 43 (Japanese)
" People keep saying something is different with my look these days. They all say I look so great. Did I lose weight? How come my face seems to look smaller? Wow! All these reinforce my new found confidence. Not only that – I love how I look in the pictures now. I used to dread being photographed because I always get dismayed once they're printed. But those were the days. My experience with Dr. Lansangan was really great. I came to him for a noselift knowing that he specialized in facial plastic surgery and I knew that what I wanted to modify was subtle. So I needed someone who could fulfill my requests. Dr. Lansangan knew exactly what I wanted even before I went into detail about it. Even before I told him that the tip of my nose was bothering me apart from my wide bridge, he already noticed that and recommended to slightly shorten it. Actually no one could really notice that a bit droopy tip but me – until I came to consult with him. My nose turned out perfectly and I love that no one has noticed. I'm so happy with Dr. Lansangan's work and have already recommended him to others."
Alice , 22 (Filipino)
"I wish I had had the surgery sooner if only I knew earlier that it would save me 30 years of feeling insecured, slightly damaged and not good looking enough. I have always believed that cosmetic surgery was very risky and undergoing it might not be worth anything. And it was simply not for men. Thanks to Dr. Lansangan for helping me through the entire process. You enlightened me and helped me calm my fears. Now that I'm 41, only now I felt so liberated from the burdens of my being self-conscious and critical about my looks. I'm more confident now and I don't have to worry much about putting on make up to soften my sharp look. I love the new look of my nose. Less the hump and the droopy tip I no longer look like a male parrot. I look more friendly and approachable unlike before."
Alvin , 41 (Filipino)
"Thanks for the best care I received from you and your staff before and after my surgery. All my questions were answered and my fears were taken in consideration. I feel so much better about myself now. This surgery has made me feel beautiful. I carry myself with confidence now. Well everything worked out and I have a great looking nose and chin. You are the best doc! If I decide to have another procedure I will come to you. I have already referred you to my friends and colleagues."

DP133: Uncrushing Defeat!
this wiki
The scene pans over Lake Acuity and goes underwater, where the projected soul of Uxie appears. Back at the Pokémon Center, all of Ash's Pokémon try to endure the pain from their injuries as Nurse Joy, Chansey and Blissey work overtime to heal Ash's Pokémon following the overwhelming loss to Paul. Ash and his friends watch as Ash's Pokémon are tended to. Dawn and Brock try to stay positive, but Ash walks away depressed. Dawn, having dealt with low self-confidence once, tries to help, but Brock stops her, letting him go for now.
Outside, Team Rocket, still disguised as the cleanup crew, work to fix the battlefield. Yanmega drops dirt as Seviper, Carnivine and Wobbuffet flatten the field. They discuss the Full Battle, admiring the effort and Chimchar's evolution while still slamming Ash for the landslide loss. James believes Ash is most likely depressed, so Jessie plots to steal Pikachu while Ash is too sad to care.
Ash is sprawled out on a grassy field, looking up at the sky as he reflects on the battle. Battle scenes flash through his mind as he remembers Gliscor battling Torterra and getting its tail caught, Weavile outspeeding Staraptor and Grotle's second loss to Honchkrow. Back at the Center, Brock tends to Gliscor, comforting it while it is crying from the bandaging. Dawn watches and wishes that she could help, also feeling the depression. Piplup notices and gets an idea. Piplup makes faces, and tries to be funny, which gives Dawn the idea to create a show to cheer Ash up and she runs off to plan. Having finished the bandaging and with Ash's Pokémon resting, Nurse Joy, Chansey, Blissey and Brock tidy things up and put the medical supplies away. Happiny also helps by giving Brock a first-aid kit to set back on a shelf. When Nurse Joy compliments Brock, he goes crazy as usual, but Croagunk's impending strike causes him to halt his romance and plead with Croagunk. It works and Croagunk walks away. Nurse Joy notices that Monferno is recovering slower than the others. She asks Brock to go into the forest and find Cheri Berries.
As Brock searches for the Berries with a bag in hand, he has trouble finding them and it's apparently taking quite a bit longer than he hoped it would. He reaches Lake Acuity and takes in the scenery. He notices a ripple on the lake and spots a shadow of a Pokémon, Uxie's projected soul. Before he can run any closer to inspect it, the shadow disappears. As he wonders about what he just saw, he notices an object to his left and glances that way, finding a Cheri Berry bush. While Dawn continues to practice back at the Center, Brock returned with the Berries, which are then mashed up, and Nurse Joy proceeds to feed Monferno. Apparently having been discharged, Ash's other Pokémon watch from the window as Monferno reacts to the Berries, quickly perking up. Joy smiles and tells Brock they can relax now as Monferno smiles and waves to the others, who wave and call back happily. Meanwhile, Ash still sulks over his most recent loss to Paul, remembering how Ursaring took out half of his team, and how Monferno couldn't defeat Electabuzz despite having just evolved. He rolls over to his side and notices Pikachu standing beside him, not the least bit upset. His other Pokémon are there as well, all with bandages but are still chirpy and celebrating... however their over-enthusiasm quickly gives way to their exhaustion. Ash is slightly concerned but he starts to laugh, the depression fading away. Ash gets his fighting spirit back, and tells his team that Paul's Pokémon are strong because he raised them to be that way, and now it's time for them to increase training and work longer and harder than ever before. He inspires his Pokémon, all rushing to give him a group hug, knocking him to the ground as everyone laughs together, reaffirming their loyalty and friendship with him. As they head back, Ash's stomach rumbles as he's forgotten to eat earlier in the day, generating another bout of laughter as they continue on. Team Rocket watches nearby and still believe that Ash is depressed.
When he returns to the Center, everyone has gathered about Brock's sighting. In the Center's small library, Ash and Dawn look up the computer as Brock and Nurse Joy pour over books, having gone through three stacks. She finds an illustration in her book of the Lake guardians and points out to Brock the one of Uxie, which is the one he saw. He remarks though that it looked like a shadow instead of a physical form. Dawn and Ash remember their sightings of Mesprit and Azelf. Joy reads that the legend says that all three Pokémon originated from the same egg. Uxie, Mesprit and Azelf are beings that symbolize specific traits that just happens to correspond to Brock, Dawn and Ash respectively: Wisdom, Emotion, and Willpower. The three Pokémon are said to balance Sinnoh, and Brock wonders if their sightings are more than coincidence.
Team Rocket hides in a darkened storeroom of the Pokémon Center, weaving an electric-proof net to capture Pikachu, while Ash and the others gather to watch Dawn's show in the lobby, Nurse Joy mentioning that Dawn prepared it mainly to cheer up Ash and his Pokémon. Dawn opens the show with Mamoswine, Buneary and Pachirisu. Buneary and Pachirisu jump onto Mamoswine and make faces, bouncing on and around Mamoswine before stretching Mamoswine's face, with Mamoswine posing. Ash and the others laugh as expected. Piplup waltzes out in a clown outfit, jumping up and hitting its head on the ceiling. Buneary and Pachirisu juggle Piplup and stretch its face, with one more Mamoswine pose thrown in, sticking its large tongue out.
Team Rocket intrudes on the show. Still thinking Ash is upset, Team Rocket proceeds to indirectly insult Ash and rub in his loss. It doesn't have any effect, so Meowth launches the electric-proof net and catches Pikachu. Team Rocket removes their disguises and recites their motto before proceeding to flee. Ash and his friends pursue as Jessie has her Seviper launch Haze, but Buizel's Water Pulse negates it. Pikachu launches a Thunderbolt, but the net absorbs it. Gliscor stops them with Sand-Attack, but Yanmega knocks it back with a SonicBoom. James has Carnivine launch a Bullet Seed, but Staraptor's Aerial Ace and Grotle's Energy Ball knocks out both Yanmega and Carnivine. Monferno uses Mach Punch to knock Team Rocket away and free Pikachu from the net. Pikachu rejoins Ash and the others as Team Rocket notices that their plan backfired. James and Meowth blame Jessie since she wanted to strike while Ash was depressed, but Jessie blames them for not offering another plan. They then notice Ash and his Pokémon nearby, battle-ready and determined. They know a blast-off is imminent as Ash excitedly orders his Pokémon to execute a group attack. Buizel's Aqua Jet, Staraptor's Aerial Ace, Grotle's Energy Ball, Gliscor's X-Scissor, Monferno's Flamethrower and Pikachu's Quick Attack sends Team Rocket packing. Ash and his Pokémon celebrate as everyone else notices that Ash is back on track. Dawn decides to plan for next Contest as Nurse Joy mentions that the Lilypad Town Contest is a short time away. Back at the Center, Joy gives them directions and offers them a meal before they plan to set off.
- Uxie (spirit)
- Ash's Monferno is added to the opening sequence. Despite this, Dawn's Ambipom still has not been removed, and the ending has also not been updated.
- Darkrai and Giratina get replaced by new images of Palkia and Dialga respectively in their appearance before and after the preview of the next episode.
- This is the first time since Ignorance is Blissey that a Nurse Joy owns a Blissey. In fact, Happiny and its evolutionary stages are in this episode as well.
- All of the main characters' Pokémon appeared, except James's Mime Jr.
- Piplup wore the same clown outfit as Pikachu did in Lucario and the Mystery of Mew, only in a different color. The color scheme may have been based on Jessie and James's clown outfit from Jirachi: Wish Maker.
- This episode marks the first time Brock orders his Croagunk not to Poison Jab him before he does, due to his need to treat Ash's Pokémon alongside Nurse Joy.
- All of the Pokémon Ash has on hand remained outside of their Poké Balls for the entire episode, except for the last minute.
- Cartoon Network returns to displaying the show on its standard-definition feed in its original 16:9 aspect ratio, after showing the previous two episodes zoomed in to fill a 4:3 frame. However, they would reverse themselves again two episodes later, not returning to the 16:9 aspect ratio until Cartoon Network stopped their cropping practices sometime during the week prior to Sticking With Who You Know!.
- When Ash's Pokémon are each seen close-up just before the group attack, they appear in reverse order to which they were obtained by Ash: Gliscor, Buizel, Monferno, Grotle, Staraptor, and Pikachu.
- Monferno's ears were the wrong color in one scene at the Pokémon Center; they were the color of a Chimchar's ears.
- When Team Rocket interrupted Dawn's circus, Mamoswine was behind them, on stage. During Team Rocket's motto, Mamoswine was standing beside the stage, watching Team Rocket.

Vista del Lago's wresting team improved to 3-0 in the Sierra Valley Conference with a dominating 66-12 win over El Dorado Wednesday night.
The Eagles only lost two matches, one of which was by forfeit, in the big win. Dalton Boyer (106), Antonio Mulqueeney (120), Evan Shelley (145), Ben Johnson (160), Ian Berklacich (195) and Clayton Wagner (220) all earned first-period pins, the fastest of which belonged to Johnson, who pinned Jeremiah Romero in 25 seconds. All six pins came in less than one minute.
Jacob Sahagun, wrestling at 170, also earned a pin, his coming in the third period against Rick Reed. Trace Fredericks (113) and Jesse Zhang (126) earned the team 12 points with forfeit wins.
Mason Wright (132), Michael Gary (138) and Troy Grossi (152) all won by major decisions; Wright 8-0, Gary 12-3 and Grossi 15-6.
"With each victory the team gains confidence and focus on earning their first league title," Vista coach Frank Richmond said.
The Eagles compete in the Jailbreak Duals on Friday and Saturday and then the Sierra Nevada Classic in Reno the following weekend.
