Explain the Hillary Clinton "Nutcracker" Joke
Wondering why anyone would buy the "Billary Clinton Kitchen Tool Combo Set," which includes a corkscrew in the likeness of Bill Clinton and a nutcracker made in the image of Hillary Clinton? Same!
"Novelty kitchen tool set includes Hillary Clinton nutcracker and Bill Clinton corkscrew," the product description on Overstock.com reads. "Corkscrew and nutcracker make a great gag gift . . . Political novelty kitchen tools are functional and humorous." Functional? Humorous? Go on.
It's pretty obvious (though still crass) what the basis of the Bill-Clinton-corkscrew joke is. The corkscrew is placed where Clinton's penis would be, and it's public record that Clinton utilized his penis on a variety of jobs while in office. Plus—corkscrew. Not enough for you? Don't worry—the folks at Overstock.com aren't ones to sit on this pun goldmine. They take the Clinton penis joke and run with it. From the product description:
- Novelty corkscrew lets you pop your cork with Bill Clinton's spirited talent
- Strategically placed corkscrew adds a twist to post-Presidency employment
- Wine and bar tool makes a great gag gift for anyone, no matter where they land on the political spectrum
- Durable 9.5-inch novelty corkscrew is made of heavy plastic and metal
- You'll never have more fun opening a bottle of wine
- Could create pinot envy
- Gives new meaning to the term wine lover
- The new action hero for wine drinkers
- Adds amusement to any dinner party
- Looks cute standing next to your Hillary Nutcracker
It makes sense that Overstock.com would slide in some cork, tool and even pinot jokes alongside actual product information like "durable 9.5-inch novelty corkscrew is made of heavy plastic and metal." After all, potential buyers need to know not only how their novelty corkscrew works, but also why it's funny. The whole point of the Bill Clinton Corkscrew is that you get the joke. (Which is: penis!).
But how about the Hillary Nutcracker? Where are the funnies behind that one? Here's the product description:
- Laughs will abound with this novelty Hillary Clinton nutcracker
- The Hillary Clinton nutcracker will crack smiles and nuts with stainless steel teeth secured in the upper legs
- Collectible that will be remembered for years to come
- Hillary Clinton Nutcracker stands upright and has internal stainless steel components and spring
- Not recommended for the dishwasher or children under 12 years of age.
- Weight: approx. 9 oz.
That's the best you can do? Let's see: The Hillary Clinton Nutcracker will make you laugh, smile, and remember, and you can put it in the dishwasher. Why no ball-buster jokes?
Maybe it's because actually explaining why it's appropriate to feature Secretary of State Hillary Clinton as a "nutcracker" would force Overstock.com to realize that it's not really appropriate to feature the Secretary of State as a woman who is totally oppressing the male genitalia. Here's how the more explicit product information might read:
- Laughs will abound with this novelty Hillary Clinton nutcracker that's sure to delight every patriotic nut-lover who is still upset that Hillary Clinton refused to spend eight years baking America cookies in the White House kitchen.
- The Hillary Clinton nutcracker will crack smiles and nuts with stainless steel teeth secured in the upper legs of a woman who speaks before she's spoken to.
- Collectible that will be remembered for years to come as a reminder of what happens to women who try to secure jobs previously reserved for men.
- Hillary Clinton Nutcracker stands upright, because that bitch just refuses to sit down and shut up!
- Not recommended for the dishwasher, which will ensure that your wife will be forced to spend even more time doing the dishes! Make sure to slap her on the ass for hand-washing your hilarious Hillary Clinton Nutcracker.
But my mom (who sent me the Overstock link) has got another theory: maybe it's "because Hillary is so obviously a ball breaker they felt they didn't need to explain."

Lohan cuts loose on birthdayMon, 02 Jul 2012 1:55 PM
Lindsay Lohan celebrated her birthday at David Arquette's nightclub on Sunday night (1 July).
The Liz & Dick actress visited Bootsy Bellows, in West Hollywood, just after midnight, with friends including her assistant Gavin Doyle, ahead of turning 26 today (2 July) and onlookers said she was thrilled to be the centre of attention when up-and-coming group Speakers performed several songs just for her.
A source told X17Online: "Lindsay was with her pals, with Gavin — it was a private party with only her closest friends. A band performed just for her and she was super happy to be the focus of all that attention all night long."
Lohan wore a tight pink minidress to the club where she was presented with cake and cupcakes.
She was also thrilled when the entire club sang Happy Birthday to her and although her friends were drinking, Lohan — who has struggled with substance abuse issues in the past — didn't touch a drop.
A source told Usmagazine.com: "She sat at her table close to the DJ. Speakers was there and performed several songs for Lindsey. She was loving them and looked happy and carefree as she danced all around with her friends.
"There was a ton of alcohol at Lindsey's table, however she didn't appear to be drinking."
Lohan took to twitter to thank the group for performing, writing : "Thank you so much @speakersmusic for coming out and killing it on my birthday! These guys are awesome."
In response Speakers posted a picture of Lohan being serenaded with the words: "We had blast last night. Hope you had great birthday (sic)."

Additional Information
More information about this loan
This loan is designed for poor clients living in rural areas with high levels of crime and social conflict. These clients, working primarily in agriculture, are often ineligible for credit from formal financial institutions because of the high-crime area they live in, their lack of adequate collateral (like a land title), and the likelihood of low agricultural production due to bad weather or pests. Fundación Paraguaya is committed to serving these clients with loans and other wraparound services tailored to their needs. It also provides clients working in agriculture with access to discounted training courses at a local agricultural school to teach them how to improve their crop yields.
About Fundación ParaguayaFundación Paraguaya is a financially self-sustaining social enterprise that promotes entrepreneurship in urban and rural areas through microfinance, education programs, and more. Its focus on agriculture has helped many farmers boost their crop yields. And a number of other borrowers have taken out loans to start and grow social businesses that have helped deliver eyeglasses, medicines and other helpful services in their local communities.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.
Loan tags help lenders find loans that match certain areas of interest. You can add up to 5 tags for this loan.

I borrowed the image from Stronglight's "very early touring bikes thread.
I have often wondered why a long, narrow central bag, especially when touring where utilising as much space as possible is important, is never an option.

The rider would have to pedal with knees pointed outward enough to clear the bag.
In doing that, the leg position is not at its most efficient.

I have a heavy duty sewing machine so I might whip one out. Adding coroplast panels would make them quite ridged so it would not flop around in the frame.
It's easier to pick a Yankee tourist than a bail of cotton.
I did the great divide on a tandem and we needed all the spaces filled just to carry what we needed for the trip.
I sewed up the midframe bags, they worked, still work great. I did use a couroplast rim on the biggest ones and its worked really well. To add a little pizaz I used a zippered mesh pocket on the larger ones, which ended up being used for sunscreen and bug dope and stuff. The ready made ones that you can find at Nashbar, or the MEC are ok but seem too small.
They were really fast to make, and easy to install, I never thought of it but making them wider in the rear is a great idea. Having a bag fit around your water bottles seems sort ???? to me, its a lot of extra sewing for ??? utility, if you are going to do it that way get some side loading water bottle holders. Every rider has there own style and needs, sounds like you should try mid-frame bag.
The Buettners' Africa Expedition's bikes were outfitted with a large main-triangle bag (mainly for water; but something like that could be used for other things as well). There are pictures in this book:
I crossed paths with a guy who was touring with a hardshell compartment that filled the main triangle. It was made of fiberglass. He was considering carbon fiber for a future project.
He really liked it. It held a lot of stuff, and was secure. He had a hinged door on it, with a lock.
The width problem is mitigated if the Q-factor (or the tread) gives you the extra clearance. [People's preferences here vary quite a bit. Many find that a wide Q-factor is not really the problem other people say it is (i.e opinions vary).]
With present-day ultralight gear, it would not be too difficult to pack everything into a main-triangle bag -- the gear is much lighter and more compact than it was a century ago.
Touring without front or rear racks would be an option.
The positioning of the weight is also excellent with this system -- much better than usual, with front and rear racks.
[Handlebar bags, stem bags, head-tube bags, saddlebags, and top-tube bags are among the expansion options that would still be rack-free.]
There is also often more room beneath the down tube than usually utilized. It is a great place for weight -- low and centered. Extra-large water bottles can be fitted there; other dense and heavy items can also be carried there.
Extra-large water bottle cages can also be fitted low on stays. Water can be carried when needed; (modified) water bottles can be used for other items as well.
Those triangle bags from EPIC are nice.
-He makes bicycle poggies too, they're like mittens attached to the handlebar. Nifty. Real nifty.
mmmm coffeee!
email: jfoneg (_"a t symbol thing"_) yahoo (_"period or dot"_) com
Those carousel saddlebags seem pretty nifty.
The use of a simple Flashlight as a supplemental headlight
was something which Rene Herse has thought of before the 1950s,
and he designed suitable brackets on some of his front racks.
Velo-Orange has now revived the concept with
their flashlight mounting clips which can be added to their racks.
Below is a smaller LED light with c-cell sized rechargeable batteries.
The new LED technology allows a longer burn time.
(Nice looking flashlight!)
"The photo shows a 3-watt Task Force LED flashlight
that costs under $40 and is so bright that it hurts to look into it.
I'm not sure what the battery life is, but it's very long.
With rechargeble C-cells it will serve as a main front light for a commuter
a spare light for a randonneur."
Below is their larger old style flashlight for the more authentic retro look.
"We designed this bracket for our, now discontinued,
chrome retro-lights, but they will work with most other D-cell flashlights as well.
They are made of polished 304 stainless steel."
My favorite Commuter headlight amounts to little more than a fancy flashlight.
A CNC machined aluminum case, and NiteRider-style R-11 halogen bulbs.
Those bulbs deplete batteries quickly,
but the NiMH batteries re-charge fast,
and with brighter 15 watt lamps they burn quite brightly for 45 minutes.
Best of all, it removes easily to carry into work in a pocket
and, like a flashlight, no tangle of external wires.
Larger Images
... and, of course...
the Wald company still makes their Model 40
a simple chrome plated flashlight holder
which has been around for MANY decades
Crude perhaps, but still effective, and only $3 to $5...
it will hold a D-cell flashlight on a handlebar.
What's up with the brake levers?
on topic I got an old Raleigh that had a main triangle bag made out of canvass, the construction was very simple and light, other than added bulk near the knees another concern could be crosswinds.
cool, it's a poor angle to try and figure that out. Also is that a suspension stem too?
Also I think one of the bigger reasons is that frame angles aren't as standard as they used to be with compact geometry type frames and having to have different sizes is kinda hard unless it's custom.

i saw him on youtube
I just realized that I had been doodling a picture like this a few days ago, and it seemed familliar to me...now when I was browsing
stalkingthrough your gallery and saw this, I realized that I had created something similar to this. I was about to pose it on deviantART until I saw this again...I guess you would be mad if I did since you did this first. D:
I'd have to see it before I'd determine if I got mad or not. XD Referencing poses is an iffy topic for me, especially since you can only draw so many original poses before you accidentally draw the same as another. =S However, since you did bring this up to my attention, a little credit might be nice and then you're free to post it. XD I'm pretty laid back when it comes to poses. As long as it's not an exact trace, then I'm fine with it.
Thank you, I was afraid that you would shot me down on this. And I'll post a little sketch later on the weekend so you can see and even if it's not too too similar, I'll still give credit to you in the description.
Oh my god that expression.
HAHAHAH!!! Oh my word I LOVE THIS! Nobuo's expression is priceless and I can just hear him laughing maniacally! X3
And then everything ever ended.

Let's get this out of the way, Hobosexual is a band that needs to be on your radar.
Ben Harwood of Hobosexual is the man hidden behind all that hair.
The duo of guitarist/vocalist Ben Harwood and drummer Jeff Silva showed a packed room inside a sweltering 2 Bit Saloon that they're more than simply a clever name. Not quite metal, not quite garage rock, the group is just one hairy, sweaty mass of amplifiers, drums and guitar that exudes the essence of rock 'n' roll. The band's raw and unpolished style is its secret weapon and it will leave you with your jaw on the floor. Rob Reiner didn't know it at the time, but Hobosexual is the reason why Spinal Tap's amps go to 11.
After witnessing that much rock the acoustic set by Lincoln Barr of Red Jacket Mine at Hattie's Hat provided a nice pallet cleanser. During "Showponies" a group of audience members provided Barr with some unplanned percussive accompaniment by hitting a table with their fists and clanging a glass of water with a knife. It was a charming and spontaneous moment that went over well in Hattie's cozy back room. Earlier during Barr's set a drunken female heckler shouted out that she'd never have the balls to get on stage and sing. He playfully sniped back by saying "I'm actually pretty sure you don't have any balls at all." Thankfully that comment shut her up because hearing Red Jacket Mine songs stripped down to their bare essentials is something that should go uninterrupted.The colorful danceclub lighting and open space of the New York Fashion Academy made for a nice all-ages venue with a great atmosphere for the hip-hop it housed. Unfortunately for the musicians that performed there the venue was never really full. Or at least it seemed that way the three times I dropped in. Crowd size didn't seem to bother Sol who won over a sparse group of hesitant youngsters with his singles "Spliff" and "Dear Friends." Near the end of his set he performed a new song called "Need Your Love." Its backbone is a beat that wouldn't sound out of place on a Black Eyed Peas record. The youthful crowd ate it up and the once hesitant audience started to get its groove on.
JFK aka Ninjaface didn't fare as well in the crowd department. In fact, it would be tough to say he fared anything at all considering there were no more than 12 people in the room during his set and that included me and the five people on stage. However, that wasn't a reflection of JFK and his crew. Despite the poor turnout the group performed a passion that made if seem as if there were hundreds in the room, so kudos to you JFK aka Ninjaface.
After seeing some hip hop I headed to the Sunset to check out Virgin's brand of classic rock. Simply put, Virgin plays baby-making rock 'n' roll that's so full of sex appeal I swear it could've got me pregnant if I had the right parts. After an inspired solo that saw the guitarist hop on the bar and proceed to melt faces I moved to the back of the packed Sunset (which was at capacity) where I ran into Brent Amaker. We briefly chatted and then he made his way to the front stating:"I don't want to miss Virgin because this shit rocks." There you have it kids, straight from the cowboy's mouth.
Later in the evening Victor Shade picked things up at the New York Fashion Academy. Thankfully more than a dozen people were in the room. If I had to guess I'd say there were easily more than 100 on hand to watch Ra Scion spit his superhero rhymes. Those who came early witnessed Ra unleash a new song he debuted the night before while opening for Shabazz Palaces in Bellingham. The song includes the uncharacteristic chorus of "If you all about a dolla holla back bitch" and features a slick beat that had the kids hopping. After he finished Ra flashed a triumphant grin and stated the obvious: "Damn, ya'll are all like he said bitch." While anything using holla back in its hook smacks of Gwen Stefani, this song is fierce and just like everything else I saw at REVERB it definitely ain't harajuku girl material.

I am currently upgrading my theme (iA3) to a new version and am trying to redo a few customizations that were done for me to the old version.
I would like the next and previous links on a page to only show posts within the same category 'portfolio'.
I have done some searching and found this code:
<?php next_post_link('%link', 'Next post in category', TRUE); ?>
But I can't sort out where the TRUE parameter goes in the code below as it is formatted differently. Nothing seems to work.
<?php if(get_previous_post()): ?>

<?php previous_post_link('%link', __('« Previous', 'ia3')); ?>

<?php else: ?>

<?php _e('« Previous', 'ia3'); ?>

<?php endif; ?>
<?php edit_post_link(__('Edit', 'ia3'), '
', '
'); ?>
<?php if(get_next_post()): ?>

<?php next_post_link('%link', __('Next »', 'ia3')); ?>

<?php else: ?>

<?php _e('Next »', 'ia3'); ?>

<?php endif; ?>
Any ideas where I would add the 'TRUE' parameter to this new code so only posts from the same category show when clicking next or previous?
I appreciate anyone that has read this far and any help you can provide.

Researchers gain new insights into the life of Dred Scott's wifeBreaking News
Now, new insights about Harriet Scott uncovered here recently are helping to fill in the gaps of her story. Historians also hope the findings will ignite more research into the couple's life.
"It's not about what I have done here," said Ruth Ann Abels Hager, a genealogy expert at St. Louis County Library who uncovered details of Harriet's Scott's death and burial. "It's about Harriet. It's Harriet's story. This woman has her place in history."
Harriet was a generation younger than poor, old and tubercular Dred, and would have had reason to pursue freedom through the courts, her biographer, University of Iowa law professor Lea VanderVelde said. Slave status followed the mother and she had two daughters.
Most of more than 200 slave lawsuits for freedom filed here between 1812 and 1865 were brought by women, said Bob Moore, a National Park Service historian in St. Louis. Both Dred and Harriet Scott filed separate freedom lawsuits on the same day but a judge folded her suit into her husband's.
"Harriet may well have been the motivating force behind the case," Moore said.

Additional Information
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

text: I was first exposed to the work of Vic Chesnutt when I caught him live at the Tractor here nearly ten years ago. He's a fascinating performer who comes across like a wizened and wicked version of Kermit the Frog who happens to be confined to a wheelchair. His songs are disturbing little gems that marinate in Southern folk flavors, but also shoot all over the map in terms of tone and construction, so it makes sense that he has a long history of diverse collaborations with artists like avante jazz icon Bill Frisell, the low-fi popsters in Elf Power, and most recently with former Fugazi guitarist Guy Picciotto and various members of Montreal's Godspeed You! Black Emperor.At the Cut will drop on September 22 on Constellation Records and was recorded by former Arcade Fire member Howard Bilerman at Montreal's Hotel2Tango studio. According to the press release, At the Cut is "[reflective of] the broad stylistic range of contributors on the album..from classic Vic Chesnutt solo acoustic tracks to the sweeping walls of noise and snarling, angular guitars trademarked by his many collaborators." Constellation Records is known for it's gorgeous, meticulously assembled packaging; in this case, it will be made up of original and found photography by filmmaker Jem Cohen, who has done documentary work on both Chesnutt and Fugazi. These aren't artists I'd have necessarily have guessed would cross paths, but I'm glad they have and I can't wait to hear the results.

Acquired ptosis:
Aetna considers any of the following procedures medically necessary when the criteria described below are met:
Blepharoplasty* is considered medically necessary for any of the following indications:
* Canthoplasty is considered medically necessary as part of a blepharoplasty procedure to correct eyelids that sag so much that they pull down the upper eyelid so that vision is obstructed.
Note: Visual field testing is not routinely necessary to determine the presence of excess upper eyelid skin, upper eyelid ptosis, or brow ptosis. Each of these 3 components can be present alone or in any combination, and each may require correction. If both a blepharoplasty and ptosis repair are requested, 2 photographs may be necessary to demonstrate the need for both procedures: 1 photograph should show the excess skin above the eye resting on the eyelashes, and a 2nd photograph should show persistence of lid lag, with the upper eyelid crossing or slightly above the pupil margin, despite lifting the excess skin above the eye off of the eyelids with tape. If all 3 procedures (i.e., blepharoplasty, blepharoptosis repair, and brow ptosis repair) are requested, 3 photographs may be necessary.
Congenital ptosis:
Aetna considers surgical correction of congenital ptosis medically necessary to allow proper visual development and prevent amblyopia in infants and children with moderate to severe ptosis interfering with vision. Surgery is considered cosmetic if performed for mild ptosis that is only of cosmetic concern. Photographs must be available for review to document that the skin or upper eyelid margin obstructs a portion of the pupil.
See also CPB 0031 - Cosmetic Surgery.Background
Blepharoplasty refers to surgery to remove excess skin and fatty tissue around the eyes. Blepharochalasis is a term used to refer to loose or baggy skin (dermatochalasis) above the eyes, so that a fold of skin hangs down, often concealing the tarsal margin when the eye is open. In severe cases, excess skin and fat above the eyes can sit on the upper eyelid and may obstruct the superior field of vision. Blepharochalasis may cause pseudoptosis (false ptosis), where the patient has a normal ability to elevate the eyelid, but bagging skin above the eye overhangs the eyelid margin, resembling ptosis. In some cases, excess skin around the eye may cause the eyelashes to turn in and to irritate the eye, or turn outward, resulting in exposure keratitis.
Surgical removal of these overhanging skin folds may improve the function of the upper eyelid and restore peripheral vision. Blepharoplasty is also performed for cosmetic reasons to improve a sagging, tired appearance, and is the second most common aesthetic procedure performed by plastic surgeons. For coverage of this procedure, photographs in straight gaze should show sagging tissue above the eyes that is resting on or pushing down on the eyelashes.
Blepharoplasty to remove excess tissue either above or below the eyes may also be medically necessary and covered to correct prosthesis difficulties in an anophthalmia socket, to repair defects caused by trauma or tumor-ablative surgery, to correct an entropion (inward turned eyelid) or ectropion (outward turned eyelid), to treat peri-orbital sequelae of thyroid disease and nerve palsy, and to relieve painful blepharospasm.
Ptosis (also called blepharoptosis) is the term for drooping of one or both upper eyelids. This may occur in varying degrees from slight drooping to complete closure of the involved eyelid. In the most severe cases, the drooping can obstruct the visual field and cause positional head changes.
There are 2 types of ptosis: (i) acquired and (ii) congenital. Acquired ptosis is more common. Congenital ptosis is present at birth. Ptosis may occur because the levator muscle's attachment to the lid is weakening with age. Acquired ptosis can also be caused by a number of different things, such as disease that impairs the nerves, diabetes, injury, tumors, inflammation, or aneurysms. Congenital ptosis may be caused by a problem with nerve innervation or a weak muscle. Drooping eyelids may also be the result of diseases such as myotonic dystrophy or myasthenia gravis.
The primary symptom of ptosis is a drooping eyelid. Adults will notice a loss of visual field because the upper portion of the eye is covered. Children who are born with a ptosis usually tilt their head back in an effort to see under the obstruction. Some people raise their eyebrows in order to lift the lid slightly and therefore may appear to be frowning.
Diagnosis of ptosis is usually made by observing the drooping eyelid. Ptosis is usually treated surgically. Surgery can generally be done on an outpatient basis under local anesthetic. For minor drooping, a small amount of the eyelid tissue can be removed. For more pronounced ptosis the approach is to surgically shorten the levator muscle or connect the lid to the muscles of the eyebrow. Or, the aponeurosis can be re-attached to the tarsal plate if it had separated. Correcting the ptosis is usually done only after determining the cause of the condition.
Ptosis (blepharoptosis) repair for laxity of the muscles of the upper eyelid causing functional visual impairment is covered when photographs in straight gaze show the eyelid margin across the midline or at the most 1 or 2 mm above the midline of the pupil (see Figure).
Figure: Diagram of upper lid margin crossing the pupil
To demonstrate the medical necessity of both blepharoplasty and ptosis (blepharoptosis) repair, 2 photographs may be needed. One photograph should demonstrate the excess skin above the eyes resting on the eyelashes. A second photograph should be taken with the excess skin lifted off of the eyelashes (such as by taping the excess skin to the forehead), and demonstrating persistence of ptosis with the lid margin across the midline of the pupil or 1 to 2 mm above the pupil midline.
Brow ptosis refers to sagging tissue of the eyebrows and/or forehead. In extreme cases, brow ptosis can obstruct the field of vision. Brow ptosis is caused by aging changes in the forehead muscle and skin, which leads to weakening of these tissues and sagging of the eyebrows. Brow ptosis is treated surgically with the specific operation being based on the amount and location of the brow ptosis.
Brow ptosis surgery is usually performed under local anesthesia as an outpatient procedure. Excess skin and muscle is excised and the deep tissues are sutured together. Brow ptosis repair for laxity of the forehead muscles causing functional visual impairment is covered when photographs show the eyebrow below the supra-orbital rim.
Often brow ptosis coexists with eyelid ptosis and dermatochalasis; in these cases, ptosis surgery and blepharoplasty may be performed at the time of the brow ptosis surgery. The medical necessity of each surgical procedure may need to be demonstrated with separate photographs: 1 photograph should show the eyebrow below the supra-orbital rim, a 2nd photograph with the sagging forehead lifted up in order to see the sagging tissue above the eye resting on the eyelashes, and then a 3rd with the sagging tissue lifted off of the eyelid in order to see the persistent lid lag (ptosis).
Canthoplasty, also known as inferior retinacular suspension or lateral retinacular suspension, involves tightening the muscles or ligaments that provide support to the outer corner of the eyelid. This procedure may be medically necessary where drooping of the outer corner of the eyelid interferes with vision.
Visual field testing is not necessary to determine the presence of excess upper eyelid skin, upper eyelid ptosis, or brow ptosis. A patient could cause a visual field defect by lowering their lids during the test. Photographs that document eyelids crossing the pupils provide a practical indication for the need of surgery.
If visual field tests are performed, the tests should show loss of 2/3 or greater of a visual field in the upper or temporal areas documented by computerized visual field studies, with visual field restored by taping or holding up the upper lid.
An UpToDate review on ptosis (Lee, 2013) states that "In patients with third nerve [oculomotor nerve] palsy, an interval of 6 to 12 months before surgical intervention is advised because many will have spontaneous recovery. Similarly, patients with MG [myasthenia gravis] should have stable disabling ptosis for several months on maximal medical therapy before considering surgical therapy".

The Politics of House Shape: Round versus Rectilinear Domestic Structures in Dela Compounds, Northern Cameroon
Lyons, Diane, Antiquity
The transition from round-shaped buildings to rectilinear forms is of interest to archaeologists as an indicator of culture change. In some areas of West and Central Africa, scholars attribute the introduction of rectilinear-shaped buildings to either Islamic or European contact (Denver 1978; Forkl 1985: 85; Prussin 1969; 1986). An ethnoarchaeological study of households in Dela(1) in northern Cameroon indicates that the adoption of rectilinear buildings into domestic contexts is a more complex process than this explanation allows. Dela is a multi-ethnic community of approximately 1100 people located at the foot of an inselberg on the Mora Plain, about 10 km northeast of the Mandara Mountains [ILLUSTRATION FOR FIGURE 1 OMITTED]. While the use of rectilinear public buildings in Dela is associated with both Islamic and European influences, the recent incorporation of the form in domestic architecture is one material strategy which local ethnic groups use to negotiate political self-interests in a period of intense social change.
This study examines the processes involved in the shift to rectilinear domestic buildings in Mura,(2) Urza, Wandala and Shuwa compounds in Dela. Relationships between these, the four largest ethnic groups represented in the town, are complex but can be characterized as economically and socially stressful. Hodder (1979; 1982; 1985) suggests that the degree of material-culture distinctiveness at the borders of social groups depends upon the degree of economic and social competition between them and on differences in their internal social strategies. Hodder's study is based on interaction within and between acephalous, lineage-based groups. In the Dela example, kin- and state-based polities interact and the choice of individuals or groups to differentiate themselves stylistically through domestic building shape depends upon their perspective within a local, national and international hierarchy.
The study groups: social and economic interrelations
The recent popularity of rectilinear domestic structures in Dela must be understood in the context of historical relationships between ethnic groups in the region, relations that have resulted in a social and economic hierarchy. Tensions between these groups were aggravated by political decisions affecting the region since the 1960s. Only relevant aspects of this history are provided here. More detailed ethnographic and historic information is available in Boutrais (1973), Forkl (1985; 1988), Hagen-bucher-Sacripanti (1977), Lyons (1992), MacEachern (1990), Mohammadou (1982), Morrissey (1984) and Mouchet (1947). Data on Dela households were collected as part of the Mandara Archaeological Project under the direction of Dr Nicholas David (see David & MacEachern 1988; David & Sterner 1987; 1989).
The Mura are descendants of montagnards whose home territory is Mora Massif, on the northeastern tip of the Mandara Mountains. This acephalous society is organized into descent groups who practise subsistence sorghum farming. In the first half of the 17th century, Mura immigrants settled the inselberg of Wa-Dela (Lyons 1992: 39) - a small mountain immediately northeast of the modern town [ILLUSTRATION FOR FIGURE 2 OMITTED]. The Mura are the longest-established ethnic group in the local population. This is important in structuring local hierarchies, as both montagnards and Wandala recognize rights in land ownership through a group's seniority and continuity of occupation and in ancestral alliance with local earth spirits.
The Wandala first settled at the foot of the inselberg in the late 17th century (Forkl 1988: 64; 1989: 543). They share a common language and a history closely inter-related with the Mura. The Wandala are descendants of the Wandala state which controlled the plains to the north and east of the Mandara Mountains during the 18th and 19th centuries, with Dela one of their royal capitals. In the early 18th century the Wandala converted to Islam (Forkl 1986), which allowed them to participate in the trans-Saharan trade as a vassal to the state of Borno to the northwest. …

Benkan Group
The group's main activity is retail commerce of various items such as grain cereals, food condiments, soap, etc. Wanting to increase their working capital, they decided to work with the Soro Yiriwaso MFI. They are requesting a first group loan, which will be used to buy: two bags of rice, 10 bags of millet, five bags of sorgho, three bags of beans, 10 bags of unshelled peanuts, condiments (two bags of dried gombo, three baskets of fresh tomatoes, two bags of fresh onions), two bags of local laundry and dishwashing detergent, including one bag of « Gabacourouni » soap.
They get their supplies from Segou, locally in Téssérèla and neighboring villages, and from the weekly N'Gassola market fair. They retail their products from their homes, at the weekly market fairs in N'Gassola and Téssérèla, for cash or credit, to a customer base of both men and women.
They hope to attain average monthly earnings of 22,050 FCFA each, part of which will be used to reimburse the Soro Yiriwaso loan, and contribute towards the children's healthcare and tuition costs.
Ce groupe de femmes fait essentiellement le commerce d'articles divers tels les céréales, les condiments alimentaires, les savons etc.
Dans le souci d'augmenter leurs fonds de commerce elles décident de collaborer avec l'institution de microfinance Soro Yiriwaso.
Elles sont à leur 1er prêt solidaire qui sera utilisé pour acheter, 2 sacs de riz, 10 sacs de mil, 5 sacs de sorgho, 3 sacs de haricot, 10 sacs d'arachide en gousse, des condiments : 2 sacs de gombo sec, 3 paniers de tomates fraîches, 2 sacs d'oignon frais, 2 sacs de savon local pour la lessive et la vaisselle dont 1sac de « Gabacourouni ».
Elles s'approvisionnent à Ségou, sur place à Téssérèla, dans les villages environnants et à la foire hebdomadaire de N'Gassola. Les ventes se font à domicile, aux foires hebdomadaires de N'Gassola et Téssérèla, au comptant et à crédit à une clientèle composée d'hommes et de femmes.
Elles comptent réaliser un bénéfice mensuel moyen de 22 050FCFA qui sera utilisé pour rembourser les prêts de Soro Yiriwaso, contribuer dans la prise en charge de la santé des enfants et de leurs frais scolaires.
Additional Information
Important InformationSoro Yiriwaso is a microfinance institution that works primarily in rural and semi-urban areas of Mali to provide underprivileged communities with access to financial services.The organization facilitates access for disadvantaged clients, particularly women, to new resources and services, fostering solidarity and cooperation among its clients. Kiva lenders' funds will enable Soro Yiriwaso to expand its outreach and target even more underserved Malians involved in business and agriculture.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

- Almost 40% of primary care physicians and most pediatricians make less than $150,000 a year.
- The majority (60%) pay between $15,000 and $30,000 annually for malpractice insurance.
- These physicians have taken steps to boost their revenues, including taking on work outside their practice.
- Almost a third of those surveyed describe their practice's viability as "shaky," and report that they are working harder just to maintain their income. Another third say they practice is not growing significantly.
- Almost 21% of primary care physicians reported that their income was down by more than 10 percent in 2012, compared to 2011. Another 16% reported income drops of less than 10%.
- Fewer physicians than ever report being owners or partners of their own practices, as hospitals and health systems continue to seek market share through direct employment and practice ownership and smaller group practices consolidate.

Cleveland, Ohio, isn't the biggest rap city, but the Midwestern locale has its fair share of hip-hop stars.
It was Bone Thugs-N-Harmony who put the city on the map, but now artists like Chip the Ripper, Machine Gun Kelly and Kid Cudi are carrying on Cleveland's hip-hop tradition. And, for the most part, they all get along.
On Wednesday's "RapFix Live," MGK — whose debut album, Lace Up, arrives in stores October 9 — spoke about his relationship with Cleveland artists like Chip, Dub-O, Ray Jr. and Pooh Gutta. "Me and Cleveland have a great relationship. There's very little hate there," Kells said.
When the subject of Kid Cudi came up, however, things got a bit frosty. "Yo, I love what you did with this mic," MGK said, trying to avoid MTV News correspondent Sway Calloway's question.
Eventually, the Bad Boy MC came around and tried to break down the issue between him and the G.O.O.D. Music standout. "He feels a certain way about me, to my knowledge. I keep trying to meet him, just never happened," Kelly said. "I take certain things certain ways. Certain comments you can just tell are about you."
In 2011, Cudi sent a message to his fans concerning the term "rage," a word MGK regularly uses. "There's only one original Rager, and that's me," Cudi stated. "I started this 'rage' sh–… When you hear ANYONE talking about 'rage' or 'raging,' know where that sh– originated."
"In my honest opinion, I believe, as an O.G. like Cudi, who has been in the game two albums now, as an older guy, I'll be looking at a young cat coming out of Cleveland and put my arm around him. Because that's definitely what I'm doing," MGK said. "I guess I'm just a little bitter on that, but all respect to everybody. I'm not gonna lie and say I'm not a fan of his music."
Kells aims to do different. As his star rises in rap, he hopes to be able to help out other artists who emerge from his hometown.
"I'm in a great position, so I don't see it as jealousy. I'm not envious of anybody in my city. I wanna see anyone get up out that sh–," he said. "I feel like a lot of people, when they could've put their arm around me, they kinda shunned me."

I have a 2002 hybrid with Deore XT 9-speed equipment. It is equipped with a InSync Odesa 160 front suspension fork. The problem with this is that it isn't especially "stiff" and cannot be locked. I think it has a moving range of 45mm.
Any suggestions for a new front fork that can be locked and that is of good quality? I will mostly ride with it in locked position. I have 29" wheels and Shimano Deore XT V-brakes.

Thank you Turning Point ClubJuly 14,2014I want to thank the Rutland Turning Point Club for a great Fourth of July barbecue. Good food, good people, all for free in a safe, sober environment. The barbecue and club were open to the public and were a great way for anybody to enjoy themselves and have fun.
I have referred to the club as an oasis and have found the club to be a great resource in a time of some unrest and trouble. Located at 141 State St., Turning Point Club is open every day and has free dinners every Friday, open to the public.
Turning Point is an important part of Rutlands positive change and has been a valuable asset to the Rutland community for years, supporting sobriety and individual growth.
Please recognize and appreciate this important asset and enjoy having fun in the pressure free, sober environment. I hope more people discover the Rutland Turning Point club.

American Racial and Legal History According to Derrick Bell
Gilmore, Brian, The Crisis
American Racial and Legal History According to Derrick Bell The Derrick Bell Reader Edited by Richard Delgado and Jean Stefancic (New York University Press, $24)
Someday, Derrick Bell, the first tenured African American law professor at Harvard Law School, will be compared to the legendary race man James Weldon Johnson. Like Johnson, Bell worked for the NAACP and spent an ambivalent period working in the federal government (Bell at the Department of Justice; Johnson as a diplomat during the administrations of Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson). Both men were trained as lawyers, and both spent time teaching during their lives.
Yet the most important similarity between the men is that both used their skills to make lasting contributions to the African American artistic tradition in the struggle for equal justice in the United States.
Johnson, an accomplished poet and composer, provided his Black brethren with the lyrics to their national anthem "Lift Ev'ry Voice and Sing" (Johnson's brother, John R. Johnson wrote the music). In 1912, Johnson also published one of the great novels of the early 20th century The Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man.
Bell's key contribution to African American arts is his unique writings on American racial history and politics. Beginning in 1987 with his first collection of speculative writing on race and the law, And We Are Not Saved, Bell single-handedly deconstructed the racial dialogue between Blacks and Whites in America.
The overall premise in his writings is poignant: Whites collectively have always acted in America to maintain their status of superiority over Blacks, and everything from the Constitution to the Supreme Court's Brown v. Board of Education desegregation decision of 1954 is evidence of their abiding quest.
For those who agree, or disagree, with Bell's radical departure from accepted racial notions, The Derrick Bell Reader offers plenty to dissect. The book could not have arrived at a better time. This is, in effect, Bell's manifesto on the race problem in America from a variety of constructs. The great legal riffs Bell has amassed over the years in law journals and in his books from 1972 to 2004 are here for examination. The editors, husband-and-wife legal scholars Richard Delgado and Jean Stefancic, have done a fabulous job.
The reader is allowed to enter the heart and soul of Bell, a civil rights champion who clearly could not stomach the failure of the post-civil rights era. Consider the following passage from the book: "Black people will never gain full equality in this country," Bell writes in "Racism is Here To Stay" first published in the Howard University School of Law's journal in 1991. …

Fixing Large Holes in Walls

Ken Collier: Hi! My name is Ken Collier and I am an Editor at the Family Handyman Magazine, the number one brand for do-it-yourselfers. Today, I am going to talk about how to repair a large hole in your wall.
Now to do that we need a large hole, right and since I am on a studio set and not in somebody's home, I am just going to make one. Here it goes. The first step is going to be to draw a square around our hole with a couple of inches to spare in every direction. It doesn't have to be perfectly leveled but it should be good and square.
The next step is going to be to cut out the hole and for that, I will use a drywall saw. So to start off, you can just pound the point of the drywall saw in and cut a nice square hole. Before you begin cutting across the stud cavity, it is good to reach in and see if there is any electrical, just to make sure you don't cut anything. There we go a perfect hole.
Now you might want to keep this piece for later. The next step is to install a backer board, a piece of one inch pine or a plywood, couple of inches longer, top and bottom than our hole and to screw the drywall to the backer board. When you are installing a drywall screw, you want it to go below the surface of the drywall, but not so deep that it breaks the paper that's on the surface of the drywall. There, now we are ready to install our patch. What we will do next is to cut a piece of drywall to fit this opening.
To cut your drywall patch you have two options. The first is to use a tape and a framing square and measure your opening, mark it out on the drywall and cut it. The second and faster way, if you are lucky enough that the piece you cut out is still intact is to simply trace around that and that's what I am going to do.
Now to cut drywall, it is a two step process. First you want to score the paper on the top surface with a utility knife, snap it and then cut the paper on the back side. Snap it and then cut the paper on the back.
When you fit your patch, you may find that it is slightly oversize. If that's the case, use a drywall rasp or a surform tool for a perfect fit. It is just a few screws is all you will need to fasten your patch in place.
Our next step is to apply adhesive fiberglass mesh tape to the joints. It is pretty simple. You just stick it on and cut it. Now we are going to apply mud on top of the tape. Once the first coat is dry, it is time to apply the second coat. First, I would like to scrape off the ridges and bumps with a broad knife. Now it is time to apply the second coat.
Our second coat is mud is now dry and it is time to apply the third and final coat. Again, I will begin by scrapping off the ridges and bumps with a broad knife. There, now let's apply our third coat of mud. When your third coat is applied, you can let it dry overnight and it is time for sanding.
Once again, I will begin by scrapping the bumps and ridges off. Now I am going to sand using a sanding block designed for drywall and a mesh sanding screen that is very fast. I am paying particular attention to feathering the edges out on the drywall so it will be undetectable under our final coat of paint.
Now with a slightly damp rag, does soft the patch and it is ready to prime. Priming is a key step that's often omitted. The reason you have to prime is that if you painted right over your patch, there would be a slightly different level of gloss over the patch that would be quite noticeable; a problem called flashing. So to prevent that, we are going to prime over the patch and then paint.
Voila! A completed wall patch, primed and ready for your final coat of paint.

Getting in the groove at Grove Steakhouse
Meat? √ Giant portions? √ Lots of choices? √ At Viejas, a place to bring your appetite
Daisy's Cafe: Next to the Grove Steakhouse is an unassuming, casual restaurant with a tremendously full menu — breakfast, lunch and dinner. Breakfast is served all day, and if the slots put a dent in your pocketbook, the November deals can help ease the pain: $5.95 breakfast and lunch specials and $6.95 for dinner (only specific meals).
Far East Winds: This newest addition to Viejas' food lineup replaced China Camp. The menu features classic Chinese dishes — Cantonese roast duck ($18 for half a duck) — along with some non-Chinese fare, such as the traditional Thai noodle dish pad thai ($10) or Vietnamese lemon grass chicken ($11).
Harvest Buffet: The buffet features a variety of salads, pastas, desserts and a rotating carving board menu of all things protein, including tri-tip, sirloin, pork loin, ham and turkey. Normally priced at $9.95, the club card discount is $7.96.
V Lounge: Whether you want to people watch or watch the game on TV — multiple TVs, for that matter — the V Lounge's circular bar is the place to catch the action while enjoying a drink from the full bar or a nosh from the appetizer menu, such as the beer-battered chicken tenders ($7) or shrimp quesadilla with manchego cheese ($9). Food is only served Friday-Sunday from 4-11 p.m.
Viejas Coffee Bar: If Alpine's chilly temps are too much for you, you can warm up here with everything from simple coffee to fancier caffeinated fare such as espressos and cappuccinos.
The Grove Steakhouse at Viejas Casino 5000 Willows Road, Alpine (619) 445-5400 Lunch: 11:30 a.m.-4 p.m., Monday-Friday Dinner: 4:30-10 p.m., Monday-Friday; 1-10 p.m., Saturday; 1-9 p.m., Sunday $3 valet or free self-parking
If you like to eat and you like to gamble, there's nothing better than going to a place where you can do both.
For the gambler, Viejas Casino, about 33 miles east of San Diego, offers 2,500 slot machines and more than 80 gaming tables.
For the hungry gambler, there's The Grove Steakhouse, tucked into the northeast corner of the casino in between the affordable-but-always-crowded Harvest Buffet and the casual-and-homey Daisy's Cafe.
The steakhouse feels a bit closed in, with a low ceiling and Disney-style faux trees in the middle of the room. Once the hostess takes you inside, you're immediately in the dining area. No space to spare here. There's even a table for two right inside the entrance.
Spatial issues notwithstanding, The Grove Steakhouse lives up to its meaty moniker. There's an abundance of protein on the menu, everything from filet mignon with peppercorn sauce ($28 for petit filet) to Colorado lamb rack with red currant glaze and deep-fried leeks ($30).
For those who favor something other than meat, there's pasta (artichoke hearts and sun-dried tomatoes in a chardonnay cream sauce over linguine, $24) and seafood (grilled Chilean sea bass with a cucumber-ginger relish, $32).
Appetizers range from deep-fried chicken wings served with vegetables and buttermilk dressing ($12) to bacon-wrapped shrimp — bacon! — with a honey-mustard dipping sauce ($14). The fried calamari steak ($13) is lightly breaded and served on a bed of coleslaw and topped with a tangy-and-sweet balsamic reduction, along with a side of spicy chili mayonnaise for dipping.
Choosing a dessert is a fun visual experience, with the choices brought to the table in a multitiered cart.
For the budget conscious, there are specially priced pairings that combine some of the restaurant's best dishes. Choose from roast prime rib or top sirloin and pair that with duck, ribs or scallops.
At this steakhouse, there's no need to wager on whether the food's a winner. It is.

Pots in Aquariums
So I always see flower pots in people's aquariums... got me thinking...
Are they ceramic? or what are they made from? Is there a specific clay that your pots should be made of if they are going into a tank?
I have a normal, clean terra cotta flower pot in my tank. I've got my Wisteria in it currently, so I can move it around. If you use it as a cave, make sure you plug the drainage hole. One of my platies tried to swim through it and is really badly injured.
It is a bad idea to use pots made with limestone or any other calcium-based ore. However, this does not happen all that often. Most basic pots will work so long as you stay away from the fancy display ones and the ones that have been painted.
To plug up the hole in the bottom you can use aquarium silicone, but wait 24 hours before placing such a pot in an aquarium. Also, it is a good idea to soak any pot for a least 24 hours before placing them in the tank. This gives the aquarist the chance to test what effect the pot has on the water chemistry. (Use tank water and an airstone to circulate the water in the soaking bucket.)
I am considering possibly break one in half to make two different caves.

We use pots in most of our tanks. They are made out of terracotta. We have drilled the bottoms out of most using a 2" ceramic drill bit. We soak them before adding to the tanks, or before drilling.

Thanks for telling me how you've done that. They look marvelous.
Be sure to sterilize your pots before you use them. Most places store pots and fertilizers, chemicals, in the same area
