Dana Harel spent three years as an Israeli air force officer and 20 years figuring out how to process the emotional repercussions.
The experience of carnage and comradeship in the military over two decades ago are intricate parts of the 43-year-old's current artworks.
"The act of drawing is healing," the San Francisco-based artist said in a phone interview from Tel Aviv, where she spends every summer visiting family. "The more I am researching myself and my subject matter, I am discovering things as they surface."
Her newest exhibit, "Between Dreams and Nightmares," features 15 mixed-media drawings of animal and human figures. The free exhibit is on display at the city-owned Palo Alto Art Center through Sept. 7.
Harel, whose drawings have appeared in galleries throughout the United States and Israel, was born and raised in Tel Aviv. She and her husband came to the United States to attend college in California, and decided to stay after completing their studies. Harel studied architecture and began her career in that field after graduating in 2000.
"But it was when I became a mother that I had a revelation," she says "Architecture was a job, but never a passion of mine." So she traded in her drafting table for an easel after she had her first child. Her two children are now 12 and 7.
The transition from architect to artist was seamless, Harel says, and has helped her work through the trauma she endured during her military service: "There's a lot in my process and perspective that comes from my architecture training."
A primarily self-taught artist, Harel had little experience with drawing, but wanted to transfer images in her head onto paper. The images are "somewhat abstract, but expressive and very emotional," she says. "It's not about their proportions or the pencil strokes."
"Between Dreams and Nightmares," organized by the Laguna Art Museum, includes monochrome figures such as "When I'm Gone." The drawings pull from her experience in a male-dominated military unit. She says being surrounded by men in tight quarters created close-knit relationships with her fellow soldiers. "I got to know men in a way not a lot of people get to see," she says. "I got to know men not in a traumatic way, but in a very revealing way."
Her current work tries to capture what is going on inside a soldier's head during combat and when he or she leaves the battlefield. "I wanted to ask, 'What's going on inside when they close their eyes at night?'"
What are the half-human, half-animal illustrations really about? "It's the duality of being someone who loves animals and humanity, and being thrown in a situation where you have a gun in your hand," she says. "Psychologically, you understand. But you sometimes get angry that you have to hold a gun."
The drawings are also a way to cope with the trauma of war. In the Middle East, Harel says, you must always wear a [figurative] mask and pretend you are not afraid, even if you are: "It's a really tough environment."
About the current war in Gaza, Harel says that conflict is an inherent part of growing up in Israel and that everyone figures out a way to deal with it. "It's something that becomes engrained in you."
While Harel's drawings are primarily masculine, she says she tries to infuse femininity into her work. "In 'When I'm Gone,' the man points his foot like a ballerina," she says. "But I see myself in the figures as well. Maybe I'm hiding behind them, or maybe they are just me."
"Between Dreams and Nightmares" is on display through Sept. 7 at the Palo Alto Art Center, 1313 Newell Road, Palo Alto. www.cityofpaloalto.org/gov/depts/csd/artcenter

In a roundup of reactions to sleazy emails sent by a former government adviser, Damian McBride, remarks by Guido Fawkes were published directly beneath those of Alastair Campbell rather than under a separate heading, so failing to differentiate between their comments. The roundup should also have made clear that it was extracting quotes from commentators' blogs rather than from interviews with the Guardian (Reaction: 'The damage is self-inflicted', 13 April, page 5, and Bloggers discuss Damian McBride's resignation over email slurs, April 13).
A list of picks from theguardian.com in yesterday's paper, page 2, described Tim Collins as a "former army captain". He became well known in 2003 for his eve-of-invasion speech as lieutenant-colonel - the commanding officer - of the 1st Battalion, Royal Irish Regiment, during the Iraq war.
A news agency item (Volcano begins to erupt on Galápagos island, 13 April, page 20) reported that flowing lava could affect "iguanas, wolves and other fauna" on Fernandina island. The surprising reference to wolves probably stemmed from a mistranslation of one of the South American terms for sea lion, lobo marino (sea wolf).
A comment piece was holed above the waterline yesterday by its headline - America sunk these pirates, but the Age of Might is over, page 29. The verb should have been "sank".

12 Leading weight loss supplements with benzocaine in there to??
12 Popular weight-loss Pills and Supplements
Girl using a Question Mark are a variety of weight reduction alternatives available.

Men Shot In Car Floor It To Hospital
Two men put the pedal to the metal and raced to a local hospital Tuesday night after a gunman opened fire on their car in Far Rockaway and left them both with bullet wounds, police said.
The victims were stopped at the intersection of Chandler and Nameoke Streets at about 10:20 p.m. when the gunman stepped in front of the vehicle and began firing shots at the car, police said.
Four bullets tore through the windshield of the black two-door vehicle striking the driver, Michael Sancho, 25, in his stomach and right shoulder and the passenger, Marlon Rodriguez, 20, in his right leg.
The gunman fled and a wounded Sancho drove his car ¾ of a mile to St. John's Episcopal Hospital on Beach 19 Street.
Police from the 101 Precinct responded to the hospital and the scene. Officers recovered four bullet fragments and eight shell casings but, despite an extensive search of the nearby Redfern Houses and Dix-McBride Apartments, did not find a suspect.
Police did however arrest Rodriguez because there was a warrant for his arrest.
Sancho and Rodriguez did not provide authorities with a description of their shooter. Police ask anyone with information to call the 101 Precinct Detective Squad at (718) 868-3428.

Over the past couple of years it's been acknowledged that, given the sales trends, eventually notebook sales would surpass those of desktop systems. If you had any money riding on when, you'd better hope you pegged Q3 2008, because the bias has, as of this quarter, swung in favour of the portable PC to the tune of 55.2 per cent, according to IDC.
No doubt significant in that overtaking by the laptop brigade is the greater than 65 per cent laptop sales bias of companies such as Sony, Acer and Lenovo. Not to mention the huge number of netbooks sold over the past months from Asus, Acer, MSI and Dell to name but a few manufacturers.
In addition, Q3 marked a record setting 9.5 million units shipped, again by IDC's figures, which is an impressively large number, to say the least. Indeed, that marks an 18 per cent year on year growth from 2007 and everything indicates the trend is set to continue.
It's a good time to be a laptop manufacturer.

To the Mods not sure if this goes here.
Article by Stanley Crouch
NRA needs to set its sights on illegal firearms dealers
Monday, June 9th 2008, 4:00 AM
Bullets get around, and so do the high-speed limousines that propel them around: guns. Bullets and guns make a very cold team - notorious for not caring about the identity of the target. When the gun is fired, anyone who is not wearing armor and is hit will go down.
Bullets aren't concerned with important or unimportant, good or bad, brilliant or stupid. The bullet's job is mechanical indifference to identity, the persistent ignoring of essences.
Bullets have never cared about Presidents or rabble-rousers or masters of nonviolent engagement. This is why we were shocked by the public murders of John F. Kennedy, Malcolm X, the Rev. Martin Luther King and Robert Kennedy. Bullets almost canceled George Wallace's check for the right to live and even sent Ronald Reagan tumbling down.
The crack trade in the 1980s led to many illegal guns floating through the so-called inner city, where a cult of criminality was born and reinforced by the riches to be had. Thousands of people have been slaughtered over the years and guns are now so established to end conflict that touchy, armed adolescents often enjoy intimidating grown men and reversing the pecking order until brutal power comes from the bottom.
The recent shootings in New York have led to one new thought: the sale of illegal firearms should be prosecuted as involuntary manslaughter, as conspiracy to commit murder and so on whenever a weapon used in a shooting can be traced to its seller.
This seems something that the National Rifle Association could get behind since its spokesmen are so quick to explain most murders are committed by criminals with illegal, unlicensed firearms. Instead of going berserk and responding as though any form of gun control is but one more step toward disarming the citizenry, the NRA should clarify its position on illegally purchased firearms.
Though it may sound like a marriage made in purgatory, I think the NRA could eventually be persuaded to back legislation focused solely on the gun runners of America who supply the majority of firearms used in robberies, murders and stickups.
While the group takes the right to bear arms quite seriously, I doubt that NRA members believe their rights should include the sale of illegal firearms to the many youths who were arrested with such weapons last year in New York City. There, more than 1,000 kids - one-third of those 17 or younger - are arrested for carrying a gun each year.
According to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, 4,043 illegal guns were confiscated in the city last year.
I cannot imagine the members of the NRA cheering whenever they see television news about another murderous run made by some loon who bought his guns on the black market. Or laughing as they study the amount of corpses stacked up yearly in almost every urban area in America.
Gun fairs are for another discussion. For now, I think we should move to put more pressure on gun dealers to seek another line of work. I also think RICO laws about the conspiracy to commit crime could be adapted to fit the sale of illegal firearms. Then we would be getting somewhere.
If these people want to be indifferent to the slaughters raging through America like wildfires, let's see how cold and indifferent they can be when the heat is on them.
I don't know what Mr. Crouch thinks the NRA can do about the revolving door that we call our penal system. As far as I know, the NRA has always supported locking up criminals.
There are two sides to every issue: one side is right and the other is wrong, but the middle is always evil.
Who is John Galt?
Wait a minute, before you bag him as a typical left wing nut job think about what he says. His whole article is about using laws that already exist to charge the criminals who commit the crimes. He never even talks about finding ways to ban guns, or ammo, or even certain types of guns. What I read in that article makes sense (NRA comment is iffy)...charge the criminals as the gun is only an inanimate object. If all liberals felt that way we might find common ground.
They who give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. Benjamin Franklin
Previously known as "cjm5874"
The position has always been clear: Prosecution to the fullest. It always has and always be. This article is deceptive as in trying to say that with our stance against gun control, we help illegal gun sales to flourish. Problem is that ATF has an easier job prosecuting honest gun dealers for administrative errors than going after the criminals. I don't know if anybody saw last night on Discovery a program about the Hell Angels and an investigation under ATF. The ATF seemed screwed the pooch so big (how unusual) that they refused to release the surveillance audio and video to the prosecutors and the case disintegrated.the NRA should clarify its position on illegally purchased firearms.
You want to fight the illegal weapons trade? Get rid of the ATF and assign the FBI to the case. Make the FBI understand that if they make friends with gun shop owners and gun owners in general, they will have a great chance to score some major victories.
The fault lies in ATF for being a rogue agency filled with petty dictators and dangerous nutjobs who will turn on their own agents if they happen to be honest and hardworking. They have created such an animosity that I doubt they will ever be effective in combating illegal gun sales ever again.
You have to make the shot when fire is smoking, people are screaming, dogs are barking, kids are crying and sirens are coming.
Randy Cain.
Ego will kill you. Leave it at home.

Illegal sales? Black Market?
The last time I checked, I didn't need a license to sell my guns to anyone. Is this the "Black Market?" It seems to me that if someone is illegally selling guns, then they're already a criminal. Hence.. the term ILLEGAL. Either the gun is stolen or modified in some way to make the sale/possession illegal or the person buying the gun (end-user) is a felon. Straw purchasers are already criminals.
This basically says they should up the minimum sentences for perpetrators of these crimes. Honestly, why complicate things and slap different charges on it? Just up the minimums if thats what they're talking about. Gee whiz!

Posted by Lori Wizdo on January 23, 2013
A long time ago, a savvy marketing consultant told me, "The role of the sales person is to teach the customer how to buy". That is still true, but the wisdom has morphed a bit with the times – as wisdom is wont to do. Today's B2B buyers control their own journey through the buying cycle much more than today's sales person controls the selling cycle. Although it varies with product complexity and market maturity, today's buyers might be anywhere from two-thirds to 90% of the way through their journey before they reach out for a sales person. For many product categories, buyers now put off talking with sales people until they are ready for price quotes. This new dynamic changes the role of B2B marketing in a fundamental way. "Lead Generation" was generation 1.0 of "Lead-to-Revenue Management". It's no longer enough to provide qualified leads to sales. It's still necessary, but it is no longer sufficient. In 2013, it's the role of marketing to guide the customer through the early stages of the buying journey. Today, marketing owns a much bigger piece of the lead-to-revenue cycle. B2B marketers must take responsibility for engaging with the customer through most of the buying cycle. This new remit is not without its challenges: vision, resources, organization, skills, process to name a few. That's why I am getting more and more excited as my colleague Peter O'Neill and I toil on creating the "just for marketers" track at the upcoming Forum for Sales Enablement Professionals in Scottsdale, Arizona on March 4th and 5th.

About Me
Hello, I'm Elissa AKA Sushi-chan and I'm addicted to costuming! I believe that a cosplayer can never have too many pictures of their costumes, so I made this port hoping to connect with photographers that could use my costumes to diversify their port while I build mine. I also have a portfolio for my fashion modeling/artistic work (MM#1162984) so if costumes aren't your thing, look me up there.
I am a very dedicated and versatile model, if I can make a convincing old man and a school girl, I think I can pull off almost anything!
For those of you not in the know, being a cosplayer means that I sew my own costumes and model them at anime and sci-fi conventions. If you plan on attending any of the conventions on the California con circuit or would like to meet up elsewhere to shoot, please drop me a line!
I love constructive criticism and I look forward to talking to you and maybe even working with you! Thanks for visiting my profile!

Cloud Convergence Council Blog: Consultative Selling Will Dominate Cloud
By Lawrence M. Walsh, CEO and President, The 2112 Group
The IT channel was built on bits and bytes – businesses that not only understood the technology they were selling, but had the acumen to expand the capabilities of that technology with their organic know-how.
The telephony channel, on the other hand, has a more sales-oriented business model in which the agents and resellers of voice and data connectivity engage in service-level selling. Their skill is writing paper and marshalling the resources needed to fulfill the customer order.
Which model will win in the cloud? Both. Sort of.
Cloud computing products will increasingly be sold based on the strength of a solution provider's ability to correctly map their customers' needs to cloud and on-premises resources. This requires deeper engagement in the customer's environment and a deeper understanding of the customer's business operations and objectives.
If you think you've heard this before, you're right. The technology and telephony industries have been pushing consultative selling to the channel for years. From a vendor perspective, consultative selling will lead to attached sales – or the addition of more single-source products per deal. This leads to higher yields for the vendor and, in theory, the partner.
During a recent Channel Partners Cloud Convergence Council meeting, members took up the issue of consultative selling and go-to-market business models. Telephony agents believe they have the model that best positions them for cloud sales, since they have the experience of identifying services, writing contracts and handing off to other solution providers for fulfillment. IT VARs and solution providers recognize they lack that services-based selling, but argue they can win if they add sales to their existing technology bench. In a sense, IT VARs believe they can create one-stop shops that give customers the best of both worlds.
Neither side is wrong. As has always been the case, business models are like opinions – everyone has one, and their validity is often a matter of situational conditions. In other words, don't knock it if it works.
What's becoming clear, though, is that lessons for success in the cloud are emerging from both sides of the channel. IT solution providers recognize that their telephony counterparts have the sales skills and service management experience they lack. Telephony agents understand that their IT brethren have technology depth they lack. Combining the two collective capabilities to produce a new form of consultative selling could produce a powerful new channel business model to address future cloud opportunities.
The Cloud Convergence Council will take up these issues next week at the annual Channel Partners Conference & Expo in Las Vegas. The group of industry thought-leaders will conduct two sessions on trends leading to channel convergence in the cloud and best practices for developing integrated cloud channels.
While the issue of a sales model remains an open debate, the Cloud Convergence Council aims to provide guidance for IT and telephony solution providers on how to work cooperatively in cloud engagements through the dialogue at this conference. There's certainly more to come on this topic.
Lawrence M. Walsh is CEO and president of The 2112 Group, a technology business advisory service that specializes in optimizing indirect channels and partner relationships, and principle blogger at Channelnomics .

Quiet days of fall
Mileage: 31.8 and 32.0
September mileage: 334.9
There's a sameness to the air again as the sky sinks down and the clouds settle in for the long season. For many, fall is a season of color and change. In Juneau, our colors are subtle and often washed in gray. Change here is subtle as well; as autumn rain takes over, temperatures drop in undetectable increments until one day, you walk out the door and it's winter. When I lived farther south, fall was always my favorite time of year. I loved the vibrancy and crisp air and promise of new passion. But since I moved to Juneau, my experience with fall has been muted at best - as though the entire season passed in one drawn-out, gray day. If I was given the choice of two months to do away with here in Juneau, I would pick September and October, without regret.
That's why it's vital that I kick myself out the door once in a while, but I admit, my motivation has been flagging. My cycling has continued since I stopped training for Trans Utah, though on a less focused level. Because I recognize that I will lapse into a bad cycle if I don't do something I feel is productive, I have been working hard on my writing project again. Basically, what I am doing is drawing up some of my past experiences into literary essays of sorts. I wasn't always a blogger, so a lot of my experiences are being increasingly diluted in an ocean of memories. I wanted to get them down on paper (well, computer). Dredging my memory bank has been fun, but surprisingly exhausting. I am remembering all kinds of nearly forgotten details that really make the moments come alive for me again. At the same time, I'm not a tape recorder. I find myself taking some creative license with conversations in order to avoid being completely vague. So it's not journalism in its pure form, but there's no intentional fiction, either.
The project was unfocused at first, but has started to develop around the theme of "how did a scared little suburban girl from Salt Lake City end up on the Iditarod Trail." It's really not nearly as hokey as it sounds. Anyway, since it is September 2008, it just made sense to center the essays on the Iditarod race because that is my most recent and dramatic life experience. It's been really interesting to revisit that week through the lens of six months later, now that I have had more time to process different events and decide what it meant to me as a whole. Plus, I have a really great record of it already, so it hasn't been hard to fill in the gaps.
So that's what I've been up to this weekend: boring riding, but interesting writing - even if only to me. Last year, my grandmother published her memoirs and distributed them to her whole family. It's been a fun document to have - not only to learn more about my grandma's life, but to see how she views her own life. Writing about past experiences, good or bad, is a project I would recommend to anyone - it's a great way to learn a lot about yourself, and much cheaper than therapy.

text: BUSINESS MAGNATE Sir Kyffin Simpson says he gives full credit to Almighty God for his success and yesterday he urged local entrepreneurs to do the same. Speaking at the Lloyd Erskine Sandiford Centre, Sir Kyffin said he was neither a "genius" nor an "Oxford or a Cambridge graduate"."Where I've got to and where I've come from has been the good Lord putting me in the right place at the right time with the right people, the right products . . .," he said. The founder of the Simpson Group of Companies and chairman of Simpson Oil Limited (SOL) told those gathered for the start of the Barbados National Entrepreneurship Summit that the Lord wants them to flourish, but stressed they have to put in the required work."He [God] put you in that job you're in and [you] need to work. "He put Adam and Eve in the garden and He told them they would have to tend it. He didn't tell them to sit there under the coconut tree and just catch the breeze when the day comes," Sir Kyffin stated. He alluded to "several hiccups and bureaucracies that are really starting to bog down our whole system" but made it clear he was not "pulling at any public servants or politicians because it's a system that we've grown up with". Instead, he offered the following advice to entrepreneurs on how to deal with the trials of business ownership: "There is an almighty God above and he gave us . . . the Lord Jesus Christ as our Saviour and our Redeemer and our Advocate. "You're going to need to lean on him from time to time. You're going to get extended if you're an entrepreneur. You're going to be really out on a limb many times. "Having signed away your wife and your mother and everything else that the bank could put their hands on, you're going to have to have faith and it's a lot easier to put your faith in the Lord Jesus Christ than in yourself," he said.

|Re: i18n-Native American question
|Mon, 13 Oct 2003 05:56:27 GMT
It's a very unfortunate thing, actually. I did not write an entry to retrace the matter as it developed, as I most likely should have. The lady to which I spoke admitted to me that she was only a part-time employee of the organization in question. Worse, she is the sole representative of their Minnesota office, which doesn't have time to pursue this particular matter with us. While there might be other organizations of similar nature, hers will be incapable of pursuing the matter further with us, due to lack of time and resources. However, my desire to add i18n support to the backbone of the user interface stands. If we provide the capability for people on the list to customize the language of the console, user interface, help files, etc; I think it will help non-english speakers add support for their languages. I ever learn to read and write Lakota or Ojibwe, I'll be happy to create language packs for them but would otherwise suggest someone more proficient than me do that job. Until someone comes around and does, I don't see the matter as a pressing concern. Translation of documentation and wiki into other languages is always welcome. Those of you with little or no idea how you can become involved might consider helping with translation : ) -- N.

My surgery isn't scheduled until Sept, but my doctor was somewhat vague about restrictions following my surgery. I understand that it will be some time until I can resume exercise....but what about simple stuff like lifting my arms to put my hair in a pony tail, using my arms to support myself and get out of bed, the actual lb limit for lifting, walking, etc. And how long it will be until I can do these simple tasks. I'm not as worried about "exercise" as I am bout everyday functioning.
Restrictions Following BA/BL and TT?
Doctor Answers 5
Activity after surgery
Your surgeon would be able to best answer specific questions based on your situation. In general, you will be able to do normal daily activities, ie prepare foods, groom yourself, get around the house within the first few days after surgery, though you will most likely still be sore. Weight restrictions vary, but we recommend lifting no more than 10-15 pounds for a few weeks after surgery, and even then taking care to lift with proper body mechanics. Good luck.
Post op for tummy tuck and breast augmentation and lift
Each doctor is a bit different in terms of post-op care after these surgeries, but I usually have patients limit aerobic activity for 3-4 weeks and heavy lifting and sit-ups for 6-8 weeks.
BA/BL AND TT physical restrictions movements are not as severe as movements to eatd. telephone and walking
this kind of operations are not as sever, to stay completely quiet in your bed, you surely will get the adequated movements for go to eat, take a bath, wash your teeths, walk .for no more than 10 days so sincerely they are not as sever as to be unmovilized
esta clase de operaciones no son tan severas como para estar todo el dia inmovilizado completamente sino que podrias lavarte los dientes, contestar el telefono o la PC caminar etc

Post op Care and activities
Many plastic surgery practices provide their patients with written instruction on post operative care and activities. Your plastic surgeon should be able to answer these questions based on your type of surgery prior to surgery.
Restrictions following Breast Surgery and Tummy Tuck?
It would be in your best interests to meet with your plastic surgeon and ask specific questions that you are concerned about. Ultimately, he/she is responsible for your care, not online consultants who do not know your situation, how you are progressing, and whether or not you are experiencing any complications.
Best wishes with your upcoming surgery.A few words of advice may be helpful:
1. Make sure you are doing the procedure for the right reasons (for yourself) and that you have realistic expectations. Be aware that an improvement in the "problem area" may not translate to an overall improvement in your life situation. You are bound to be disappointed with results of the procedure if your motivation for doing the surgery is not internally driven.
2. Time your surgery carefully; generally, it is not a good idea to have surgery done during or immediately after a stressful period in life (for example divorce or death of a loved one). The additional stress of surgery will undoubtedly be more challenging to deal with if a patient's emotional reserves our already exhausted. Remember, that an improvement in your physical appearance will not translate to an improvement in your life situation.
3. If possible speak to patients who have undergone similar procedures and query them about the toughest times of their recovery period. Any practical hints previous patients can provide may be very helpful.
4. Make sure you are aware of potential complications that may arise how to reach your surgeon if necessary.
5. Make sure you have a strong and patient support system (several people if possible) in place who have time/patience to take care of you. Arrange for professional nursing if any doubt exists regarding the availability and/or stamina of your caretakers.
6. Be patient with the healing process, understanding that it will take several weeks to months to feel "normal" again. It may also take many months/year to see the end results of your surgery.
7. Be prepared to distract your mind with things of interest such as books, magazines, and movies.
8. Expect less of yourself; do not go back to work, school or chores too early and let others take care of you (for a change).
9. Pick your surgeon carefully (a well experienced board-certified plastic surgeon) and trust in his/her advice. Keep in close communication with your surgeon and do not hesitate to communicate questions/concerns and the emotional swings that you may experience.
10. Resume all medications that you were using preoperatively when cleared by your plastic surgeon and stop the use of narcotics and sedatives as soon as feasible after surgery.
11. Keep in mind the end results as you go through the tougher emotional times after your surgery.
I hope this helps.

The tour guide dude took us to an interesting restaurant which had v weird �traditional dancing�and not v. good food. some of the lads kicked up a bit of a fuss about it but it wasn�t that bad, just not as nice as some of the places we had been to in the past. ANother early morning the next day so that we could get to the canyon for 7am to get a good spot to view the condors. After an hour and a half in the bus, we arrived, only to disocver that we had actually left one of the guys, Ben, behind. Uh Oh, we knew he�d be spitting chips, but there wasn�t much we could do about it as we were heading back to the hotel after a couple of hours anyway. Anyway he managed to get a lift to the canyon with another tour bus, and was indeed, v furious, but eventually managed to calm down and see the funny side after he discovered we hadn�t actually seen any condors yet. So he arrived just in time to see the massive birds start to glide around the canyon. We watched them for about 2 hours then drove back to the town via some really pretty view spots down into the canyon, with all the agricultural terraces. We then had the drive down to Arequipa to meet up with the truck, via a circle of volcanoes which were all higher than Kilimanjaro in Tanzania....here we were at an altitude of 4900m, the highest we have been so far, and the air was very thin.
We were all knackered by this time after a lot of early mornings and driving around, so we pretty much slept the whole way to Arequipa. Once we arrived, got our stuff from the truck park, and settled into our room we had a couple of hours to relax and then we were off out into town for a saturday night boogie....we had a greta night, esp as the drinks were so cheap, it was cool to haev a proper dance again! We made it home not too late, but brian and emma (the resident drunkards on the truck) somehow managed ti get into a fight with some random dodgy locals on thier way back. Oo-er. they were fine though!

I know the best way to determine is through a visit with my plastic surgeon but is there any advice on what procedures (preferably non-surgical) can minimize this? My jaw is very asymmetrical and bulges out on one side. It also creates strange lines around my mouth. Is this a problem with my teeth or bone? I know the creases are not from aging as I'm 21 but it makes me very self-conscious and I feel that my entire face shape is odd and uneven. I have TMJ too if that's relevant. Thanks!
Wide, Uneven Jaw with Creases Around Mouth - How Can It Be Fixed / Minimized?
Doctor Answers 8
Facial asymmetry
You are correct in that it is difficult to evaluate your condition without being seen in person. It would be important to view your facial contour from different angles while your muscles are at rest, and during animation. In some photos it appears that one nostril is slightly higher than the other but other photographs don't reflect this. There does appear to be in one photograph a significant asymmetry of the chin and in another photograph the left cheek near the jaw appears more convex than the other side. Before anyone does Botox on hypertrophic masseter (cheek chewing muscle enlargement) muscle or inject filler to bulk up a flatter side, I would suggest a consultation with an oral maxillofacial surgeon. Certain x-rays may be done to provide an analysis of your bony framework which will help a team approach offer you the best result. An ENT specialist may focus on the TMJ, a plastic surgeon or dermatologic surgeon can discuss fillers after they learn of the findings from the oral maxillofacial surgeon.
Web reference: http://www.thenyac.com/restylane/index.html
Facial asymnmetry
Soem facial asymmetry is common in most patients. If it bothers you, you should get it evaluated. More than likley a CT will be performed and perhaps cephaolmetrics will be required to assess your upper and lower dentition alignment and mandible to maxilla relationship.
Web reference: http://www.stevenwallachmd.com
Jaw asymmetry and bulging non-surgical treatment
Given that you have TMJ your jaw asymmetry may be caused by masseter (chewing muscle) hypertrophy (abnormal growth). One of the newer uses of Botox is to make this muscle smaller. Fillers like Radiesse, Juvederm, Restylane and Sculptra can help correct minor chin and jawline asymmetries as well. I have done microfat transfer to correct asymmetric chins and jawlines with great success. Some amount of chin and jawline asymmetry is perfectly within the normal range. You would really need a physical exam to determine what, if any, treatment would work best.

Facial Asymmetry
As others have stated, most people have some degree of facial asymmetry. In face, the more you look in the mirror or the more you look at someone else, you will start to notice areas that appear asymmetry. That is jus that way we are. In your pictures, you do appear to have a rotate jaw, but the extent of this asymmetry can only be determined with an examination and possibly a CT scan to look at the underlying bones. In the asymmetry is minor, it may be masked through a combination of facial implants or injectables. If more is needed then you may need more invasive surgery.
Good Luck.
Web reference: http://www.ShaferPlasticSurgery.com
Jaw asymmetry and TMJ
The photos appear to show a jaw that is rotated forward on your left and backward on your right. However the photos are not clearly straight on in the frontal views so this is hard to assess. I would be more concerned about how this possible asymmetry is related to your TMJ. You do not say how you know you have TMJ or if you have seen any doctor or oral surgeon for it. If in fact you do have TMJ you need to be examined to see if there is a click on mouth opening/closing, if the jaw moves to the sides as you open instead of straight down and what the cant of the teeth is. Then you will need xrays to asses bone alignment and relative sizes. If most of the asymmetry is because one side of jaw is sliding out of the joint you should not just cut out some bone or inject some filler to try and achieve symmetry.
The best thing for you to do is see a plastic surgeon who does jaw work or an oral surgeon for a full evaluation. Early TMJ can be treated without surgery in some patients.
My response to your question/post does not represent formal medical advice or constitute a doctor patient relationship. You need to consult with i.e. personally see a board certified plastic surgeon in order to receive a formal evaluation and develop a doctor patient relationship.
You have an adorable mouth!
Dear Stampella
As others point out, we all have issues.
Here is my question for you: How self-conscious do you feel about these issues? Occasionally we find that people are literally crippled by minor issues. If you spend hours a day thinking about this problem, avoid social situations because you think others are aware of this issue or are making fun of you because of this, these are feelings that might be consistent with body dysmorphic disorder.
The punishment should fit the crime. If you are crippled by these feelings, you need a psychotherapist not a cosmetic surgeon. If you have mild concerns about this and are not obsessed by these issues, then sure, some filler might help. Avoid being coerced to have major surgery for this. There will always be someone who wants to do chin surgery or implants for this sort of thing. Avoid fillers that can be adjusted. Perlane and Restylane are best. Cosmetic dermatologists are less likely to push you to have a surgery. Please be safe out there.

Facial asymmetry is very common
Based on the pictures that you have attached, you have minimal facial asymmetry . This is very common and you should not focus on them . You have very beautiful facial features and rather than focusing on the asymmetry, you should look at the whole face. I would not recommend any surgical options . You may consider fillers like Juvederm or Restylane.
What to do about uneven jawline?
We are all asymmetrical. In fact if you take a human face and divide it in half and make a composite of one half and its mirror image, the composite image does not usually look like the original face.
What I see in your photos is probably different than what you see. I do see the cheek asymmetry and a slightly uneven nose and chin, but primarily I see a young face with great volume and skin texture and a nice heart shape. You did not include a side view of your face which may help with the assessment as well.
The unevenness of the chin can be corrected with a filler such as Radiesse.
Interesting that you mention TMJ. That often involves teeth clenching which can enlarge the masseter muscle. The enlargement of the masseter muscle will make the jawline appear wider. The wider jawline can be addressed with Botox injections into the masseter muscle.
Consult with a board certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon with proper training and experience with these procedures.

After I bought a 2001 325i with one key I bought a 2nd one from the dealer. I had a very hard time finding correct instructions to reprogram the car to recognize the new key. The key type I have is the rechargeable, non-replaceable battery, and has 3 buttons: 1) unlock; 2) lock; 3) open trunk
Have all your keys with you when you do this. This works:
Get in and close all the doors.
Turn the ignition to "Run" and the turn it off quickly. (Note: this is the middle position for the key, not "Accessory" or "Start")
Remove the key.
Hold the key up to your left shoulder.
Hold down the UNLOCK button and Press the LOCK button (center button) 3 times. After you release the LOCK button the third time the doors will lock to confirm the operation.
Quickly repeat the key-button-clicking steps (ONLY) for all your other keys. Note: Do not put any of the keys back in the ignition until you have reprogrammed all your keys

10 Cash Flow Strategies for a Successful Business HTML version
Strategy 8: Get the most out of your assets
Assets that are not producing a reasonable return on investment and
do not have any foreseeable benefit in the future should be sold.
These assets are tying up valuable capital that could be used
elsewhere in the business. You may have to pass on a great
opportunity because your cash is tied up in an unproductive asset.
Review your assets for the need to upgrade. If there is a more efficient
option available and it makes economic sense then upgrade to the
more productive asset.
When purchasing an asset weigh up the benefits and costs of both
purchasing and leasing. The better option may not be the same each
time. Seek independent professional advice.

Lindsay Lohan Book
Yeahhhh, so Lohan was interviewed saying this about her new book,
"I want to put (out) a lot of photos and cool stuff; it will probably be like a trilogy, like Harry Potter, because there's so many."
A trilogy? Lindsayyyyyyy! I mean if you're going to relate your new "tell all" to anything don't compare it to Harry Potter (a seven part series...trilogy is three) just don't.

Before a workout: Breakfast ideas?

I work out in the morning too, with the same goal - to lose as much fat as possible. I always have a piece of fresh fruit before my workout, usually a banana or an orange. Without those carbs, I don't have sufficient energy to get through my workout, which is usually full out on the elliptical for an hour. I wake up completely hollow, so I gotta have something. I'm not really into the protein powder thing, I prefer a big plate of food over pretty much any protein shake on the market. But I try and get a good bit of protein into breakfast. Generally I eat within 20 minutes after working out. It varies, but I usually eat one of the following:
1/2 cup cottage cheese w/ 2 pieces of whole grain toast
1 1/2 cups cereal (usually Special K Chocolate Delight) with 1/2 cup of skim milk
toasted whole grain Slimwich with turkey cold cuts (70 cal for 6 slices) and 1 oz reduced fat cheese
2 pieces of whole grain toast (or Slimwich) with reduced fat peanut butter on one piece and low-sugar jam on the other
a Power bar and an apple (if I'm in a time crunch)
a 6 oz cup of Greek yogurt w/ 1/4 cup low-sugar jam added
a 6 oz cup of caramel Greek yogurt with a sliced up apple to dip in the yogurt
2 eggs w/ 2 slices of whole grain toast or a toasted Slimwich
2 slices of bacon, scrambled eggs and reduced fat cheese on a toasted whole grain Slimwich
Or my all time favorite, a 3 egg-white omelet with spinach or broccoli, onions, reduced fat cheese and a table spoon of ff sour cream on top, served of course with 2 pieces of whole grain toast.
I also like a cup or two of coffee in the morning, which I serve latte style with 1/2 cup of skim milk per 12 oz of coffee. I used creamer forever, but found that calorie for calorie, skim milk has a lot more nutritional value and is lower in fat than creamer or half & half. If I was going to use protein powder I would probably buy chocolate and stir it into my coffee.
I don't know what you're doing nutritionally, but I'm a low carber, follow a diet that is 1,600 calories per day, and I try to keep my pie chart at 40-35-25. My goal is to lose 124 pounds, and I'm a little better than 1/2 way there.

Just one sweet taste of her pussy, you have to have more, honey dew drops tickling dripping on your tongue and exciting you beyond reason, beyond faith. You love eating her pussy. Filling your head with soft smoky thoughts and making your cock hard with conviction so even now, a million miles away from any muff dive where two bits still buys a cup of Josephine, whose cunt Napoleon would eat for hours on end, you can still savor her. In the scent of warm Caribbean ocean breeze whisked past with wisps of coconut, mango, and papaya, her flavors come to you in colors, pink hues laced with vermillion fused with rich tangerine, her pussy is citrus juiced and dripping like nectar from an exotic island flower, into an elixir which relieves stress for hours and brings a smile to your wet face glazed with her cunt. Which brings a smile to her face and that glow, her rosy cheeks blushing, flushed with orgasm and loving the fact that her guy loves to eat her pussy, like a kitty cat loves to lick cream, like a poodle dog lives to lap Parisian cunt, she knows you can't live without it. So she makes you beg for another taste. Another taste. One more sweet taste.
Go on, admit it. Tell everyone here today why you are here. We understand. Admit it. You are addicted to eating pussy.
We understand.

Verizon My Rewards+ Refer a Friend Program
Our Way of Saying Thanks!
Who says there's no free lunch? With the Verizon Refer a Friend program, you AND your friends can enjoy the little extras that make life fun: a cup of coffee, a lunch out, a shopping trip.
How Does it Work?
You got referred by a friend and you're considering joining Verizon? It's easy: Enter your Refer a Friend code.
- Complete an order online for a qualifying Triple Play or Double Play or other service(s) that Verizon may from time to time make eligible.
- Once your service is installed, sign up for My Verizon and enroll in My Rewards+.
- You and your friend who referred you BOTH get points when your account is active for 60 days and your bills are up to date. (Make sure you sign up for My Rewards+ in order to get your Refer a Friend points).
You've already enrolled in My Rewards+, and you want to Refer a Friend?:
- Sign in to your My Verizon account to get your unique referral code.
- Send the code to your friend(s).
- If they order qualifying Verizon service ONLINE and sign up for My Rewards+ you BOTH receive My Rewards+ points when your friend's account has been active for 60 days and all their bills are up to date.
NOTE: failure to adhere to these referral procedures will result in inability to award the Referrer and/or Friend points.
Best of all, there's no limit to the number of friends you can refer—or the amount of points you can get. Why not get started today?
How Many Points Can I Get?
The sky's the limit, as long as you remain a Verizon customer with your bill paid in full. Each of you gets 10,000 My Rewards+ points when your friend signs up for an eligible Verizon Triple Play.
Each of you gets 7,500 My Rewards+ points if your friend signs up for an eligible Double Play.
From time to time, Verizon may make other services/packages available for My Rewards+ points and/or change the amount of My Rewards+ points that are given for eligible Verizon Triple Plays and Double Plays.
What are My Rewards+ and the Refer a Friend Program?
Verizon My Rewards+ is a points-based program available to certain Verizon residential Internet and/or TV customers in select areas where Verizon provides service. Eligible customers must enroll in My Verizon to participate in the My Rewards+ program. The Refer a Friend program is just one way My Rewards+ members can get points. Only new customers are eligible to be referred in this program, and points are only awarded for the purchase of qualifying services.
Not enrolled? Register for My Rewards+
For more information about My Rewards+ and the Refer a Friend program, please read our Terms & Conditions.
Referral Details:
If the person you refer is also referred by other Verizon customers, only one referrer can receive rewards for the referral. The referrer and friend referred cannot live in the same household.
In order to receive Refer a Friend rewards, any friends you refer must complete their order of Verizon service online and sign up for My Rewards+ within 90 days from the time their service is installed. After 90 days, they can still sign up for My Rewards+, but they will no longer be eligible to receive Refer a Friend points.
No worries! Even if your friend doesn't sign up for My Rewards+ within 90 days, you'll still receive your Refer a Friend points—as long as he or she has purchased an eligible package and has an account in good standing with no past due bills.
Reward Eligibility Requirements:
NOTE: In order for you and your friend to receive My Rewards+ Points from the Refer a Friend program, your friend must complete their order via our online website (for qualifying services), and your friend as a customer must have Verizon service installed and remain a customer with no past due bills for 60 days. Until the accounts have been active for 60 days, both parties will receive "Pending Referral Points".?
Qualifying residential services that may be included in the qualifying Triple or Double plays are: Fios® TV, Fios® Internet, Fios® Digital Voice, High Speed Internet, and Verizon Freedom® Value/Verizon Freedom Essentials phone service, and other voice services that Verizon makes eligible.

O.co Coliseum, Oakland, Calif.
Check out these photos and learn about what goes on behind the scenes at O.co Coliseum. And don't forget to vote for Oakland on our "Pin Your Turf" Pinterest board.
Here are some team facts:
-The Oakland A's had a great year in 2012 and ended the season as the American League West Champions.
-The A's recently added outfielder Chris Young, formerly of the Arizona Diamondbacks.
-The Oakland fan slogan is "green collar baseball."
O.co Coliseum, Oakland, Calif.
Q: What type of grass is used for the field's turf?
A: The field uses over-seeded Tifway 419 Bermuda grass. It comes from West Coast Turf in the Coachella Valley near Palm Desert, Calif.
O.co Coliseum, Oakland, Calif.
Q: How many people serve on the grounds crew, and what are their roles and specializations?
A: There are seven groundskeepers plus the head groundskeeper. Specialties within the crew include mowing, mound maintenance, infield dirt maintenance, home plate and base path care, warning track maintenance and bullpen maintenance.
O.co Coliseum, Oakland, Calif.
Q: How is the field surface constructed, and are there special or "hidden" features to help manage irrigation or maintenance?
A: The field at O.co uses an extensive drainage system, four-inch drain lines cut into the sub-grade that feed an 18-inch main line. The drains are covered with four inches of pea gravel. On top is a 12-inch sand root-zone, then 3/4-inch-thick sod.
O.co Coliseum, Oakland, Calif.
Q: What kind of soil is used on the field, and where does it come from?
A: The USGA-spec sand from Brown Sand in Manteca, Calif., is used for the root zone. Allen's Processed Clay from Allen's Valley Loam in Stockton, Calif., is used for the infield dirt. The warning track uses a mix of 80 percent volcanic cinders and 20 percent clay. It comes from West Coast Sand & Gravel.
O.co Coliseum, Oakland, Calif.
Q: What is the general schedule of work that leads up to game day?
A: General maintenance is performed when the team is on the road until the day before they come home. At that point, the normal game-day routine begins which, among other things, includes: mowing in one direction; watering and nail-dragging the infield dirt; tamping and preparing the mound and bullpen mounds; tamping home plate; nail-dragging the base paths; screen-dragging the infield and base paths; hand-raking all of our edges; and nali-dragging, screen-dragging then watering the warning track.
O.co Coliseum, Oakland, Calif.
Q: How are the turf patterns created?
A: The infield mowing pattern was designed by the groundskeeper about 14 years ago, simply sketched out on a piece of paper using two highlighters. That same pattern has been used ever since. The pattern does not change during the season.

NFL fan challenging "code of conduct" policy via First Amendment
Basically he is a Cardinals fan who says he was being cussed at all game, and finally when physically approached by 2 Chargers fans told them to fuck off and got thrown out.
SAN DIEGO -- A legal showdown is looming over whether fans have the right to curse at Chargers or Padres games.
In October 2010, the Chargers were in the midst of blowing out the Arizona Cardinals at Qualcomm Stadium. Eric Holguin, an off-duty Los Angeles police officer who was at the game wearing Cardinals colors, said he was being cursed out the entire game by many fans. He said he did not respond until two fans approached him.
"Two Chargers fans came down and challenged him to a fight. He said no thank you and said, '[expletive] you' back," said Holguin's attorney, Mary Frances Prevost.
Prevost said security eventually ejected all three men. But when Holguin headed back to the entrance to meet his wife, he was greeted by several police officers.
"They expect that he's trying to get back in and literally grab him and a struggle ensues," said Prevost.
A bruised Holguin was arrested, but a jury later acquitted him for assault and resisting arrest. He was, however, convicted for giving a false name to officers but has vowed to appear in court.
Prevost said it was a legal nightmare that began with an ejection that was unconstitutional.
"A fan has a right to say '[expletive] you]' in public. It's a public place," Prevost said.
I mean I don't see how this isn't squarely a free speech issue, and how the NFL can get around that. Then again you agree to the NFL "rules" upon entering the stadium, so I don't know.
You can't just say well it MIGHT lead to violence, until it actually does it means nothing IMO.
I have seen many incidents at stadiums I disagree with in regards to the security and how they handle issues. In my mind you should be able to say whatever you want, as long as it doesn't get physical. People pay a ton of money to go to these games and you just can't arbitrarily throw them out at the first expletive heard. Or maybe you can...who knows.

Tamarind and Thyme
Monday, April 19, 2010 - We lucked out and one of the most desired tables in the room, right by the floor to ceiling windows looking out over the Thames...The fried haddock came encased in a beer batter crust, was extremely fresh, and came with a giant mound of thick cut chips that were enough for the both of us. I too was in a fishy mood and opted for the Line caught pollack with aubergine caponata and aged balsamic vinegar. Again, very fresh fish but it was on the small side as it didn't come with any major sides...Of all the museum/gallery restaurants I've eaten at, I'd say this one moves to the top of the list.
London Eater
Friday, March 19, 2010 - Oh gosh. It was worth the wait. All my incessant whining was positively silenced with the excellent pork - perfect pan-fried heatiness, with a juicy, soft centre. The large rim of fat bursting with buttery flavour, just the edges of it burnt and slightly crackling. A pesto-like concoction layed on top of the mighty chop, I appreciated that it was garnished with capers... The next time I am at the Tate Modern, I'm heading up to the top floor again. The view is an added bonus. Food was cooked well, seasoned well, hearty and filling. I could not ask for more.
