A Scotland Recap
The A.V. Club has a complete review of the Late Late Show in Scotland. The Arbroath Herald has high hopes for a tourism boost following the show's attention to the town's sights.
Thanking CBS
The RSA's @Colleen_Byrne reminds us that now would be a great time to tell CBS that we appreciate that they helped make it possible for Craig to take the show to Scotland for a week. Here is a link to the CBS viewer comment page, where you can pass along your thanks.
A Skelly at Paley
The RSA's @greyblue_eyes was in the audience at the Paley Center last Thursday when Craig was on hand to preview Monday's episode of the Late Late Show in Scotland. With the help of a friend, she was able to spend a little time in the press line and ask Craig some questions. Thanks to her for a fun story!
My friend Lisa (@LAEditor), who works at LA Weekly, contacted me a couple weeks ago when the Paley Center event was announced and asked if I'd like to come visit – she's a member of the Paley Center, and a journalist, so getting tickets was easy for her. Within minutes, I had booked a flight from Tampa, and also gotten tickets to a LLS taping the day before, where we ran into a few other Roboskellies, including @colleen_byrne.
It was the first time I'd ever seen a television taping, and it was a little odd to see the goings on. (This was the episode where they came up with the "That sounds dirty!" catchphrase.)
Because Craig plays to the camera and the audience at home so much (which is one of the endearing parts of the show), it feels more distant when you're actually there, than when you're watching at home. If you ever attend a taping, I'd recommend trying to sit on the sides, rather than in the middle, so your view isn't blocked by the camera.
The next night, thanks to Lisa, I got into the press line before the Paley event, while the preview was showing in the theater. There were 3 other reporters and a couple of photographers.
Many of the questions that were asked he had answered on some of the talk shows that week, or he covered again in the Q&A, but here are a few I asked that I haven't seen elsewhere (to my knowledge).
It's just a quick summary, paraphrasing, as I didn't get it recorded word for word, but he chatted with me for maybe 3-4 minutes or so, one on one, face to face over the velvet rope. And yes, his eyes are really that blue.
Me: After doing the show in Paris, and now Scotland, where do you think you'll take it next?
CF: Not sure, we haven't really thought that far ahead. (he pauses, thinking)
Me: Canberra, perhaps?
CF: (laughing) FUCK NO! Maybe somewhere in the South. I really enjoy doing shows there, love the audience response down south.
Me: What do you think your career would have been like if you hadn't come to America?
CF: Who can say, really? I'd probably be doing something similar. I've got a good friend over in Scotland with a radio show, so maybe I'd be doing something like I do here, but on the radio.
Me: How are things progressing with Ghosts of Belfast? (Craig has the movie rights of this novel by Stuart Neville)
CF: (raises eyebrows, perhaps surprised that I was asking about this) It's going great, thanks. The screenplay is already done, and we'll probably start production later this year.
After the questions and some more photos, we were then ushered into the press section in the back row of the theater, and I quickly realized we were sitting behind Michael Naidus and Josh Robert Thompson. After the screening I congratulated them both, as I think it was even better than the Paris shows. David Sedaris steals the show!
I chatted with Josh for a bit, explaining that thanks to his and Craig's hijinks, I'm happily distracted on the treadmill every morning, approaching 800 days in a row now. I got a picture with Josh http://twitpic.com/9kuac6 and then went down to the stage where Craig was.
He had filmed two episodes that day, done the press line and Q&A, and by now it was maybe 9:15 or 9:30. He must have been tired, but the only sign of that was how much further he loosened his tie. He graciously engaged with the fans, signed autographs, and posed for pictures, including one with me. http://twitpic.com/9kuc6v
I wasn't sure what to expect of this night, and I certainly wasn't expecting to have conversations with Michael, Josh, and Craig, nor that they'd seem so normal and down to earth. It certainly was a memorable couple days, and I'm going to have to pay back my friend Lisa big time!
Meanwhile, @greyblue_eyes' friend @LAEditor wrote her piece about Craig's Paley Center appearance, which you can read here at LA Weekly.
May Birthdays
Saturday, May 19th is the birthday of civil rights activist Malcolm X, writer Nora Ephron, actor Peter Mayhew (Chewbacca from Star Wars) and professional wrestler/actor Andre the Giant. For a chuckle, check out 18 dogs that look like Chewbacca. Our favorite is the first one. Sunday, May 20th is the birthday of actor James Stewart, singer Cher, guitarist Jane Wiedlin and actor Bronson Pinchot. Take a listen to one of the biggest hit songs Jane wrote, "Our Lips Are Sealed." It was the tune that propelled Wiedlin and her bandmates from the L.A. punk scene onto the charts as the new wave band the Go-Go's in 1981.

A Metro Vancouver Mayor is looking for a solution to a stinky situation.
It's not the end of the world but, Richard Stewart says it is revolting that dog owners continue to fling bags of doggy doo-doo into the trees, not the trash.
He checks the entrance to a well-used Coquitlam park a couple of times a year.
"Mundy Park, our largest park in Coquitlam, which is dog off leash every morning, has hundreds of dog poop bags near its entrance within ten feet of the trail, some hanging on bushes and things like that. It's a disgusting greeting for visitors."
Stewart jokes there must be fingerprints left on the bags to track down the few irresponsible dog owners.
But in reality, he says, they clearly need to educate dog owners that dog poop is not fertilizer for the forest – it carries e-coli and attracts rats.

I think that the writings of William Pierce had a more profound effect on the development of my thinking on history, race and politics than of those of any other individual I can think of. I met the man a few times and was not impressed by him in person. However, his clear and exact writing style, which seemed to be able to get right to the essence of the problem every time, was powerful. 'Turner Diaries' was not the greatest racialist fiction, certainly not compared to Covington's Northwest series, but it was a break from everything that went before and set a new standard. It undoubtedly influenced Matthews and the Order, the only white men to pick up guns and fight ZOG since the catastrophe in 1945. Even now his work can still be a powerful influence.
Although Covington's novels strike a chord with me I have to agree with you. I think the jews would not hesitate to destroy any white ethnostate with nuclear or any other hellish weapons they control. They did not hesitate to use maximum brutality in destroying National Socialist Germany, and would certainly have used the Atomic bomb if it had been available at the time. Only the threat of total destruction against them would act as a deterrent. Without such weapons a NW type state could not survive. I think that the whole world will have to go through a terrible experience before this vile, parasitic life-form is finally erased from history.
I certainly can't argue with that. The jew would never have succeeded to the extent he has without the active cooperation of so many of the white 'elite' and the passive acquiescence of the mass of whites. That is why I believe that we will have to learn a very harsh lesson if we are to survive and thrive as a race. I agree; possibly billions will die, including most likely the majority of the white race. Nature does not smile on stupidity and perversion.
Who qualifies as one of the "500 million" whites?

The Neutered Message of the March on Washington
Posted on Aug 26, 2013
"Based upon the speeches during the main portion of today's events there can be little doubt that the Dr. King who was murdered in Memphis in 1968 would not have been allowed to speak at this fiftieth-anniversary commemoration of his life," The Nation's Dave Zirin wrote of Saturday's March on Washington.
"There was no discussion of the 'evil triplets' [of militarism, materialism and racism]," Zirin, who attended the march, continued. "Instead, we had far too many speakers pay homage to the narrowest possible liberal agenda in broad abstractions with none of the searing material truths that make Dr. King's speeches so bracing even today."
Zirin couldn't listen to Rep. Nancy Pelosi speak without thinking of her defense of the NSA's spying program. The presence of Newark, N.J., Mayor Cory Booker, a best friend of Wall Street, was at odds with King's recognition that "The profit motive, when it is the sole basis of an economic system, encourages a cutthroat competition and selfish ambition that inspires men to be more concerned about making a living than making a life." And the 30 minutes granted to Attorney General Eric Holder, "the person who is not bringing federal civil rights charges against George Zimmerman," brought to Zirin's mind the fact that "it has taken five years for him to say anything about mass incarceration in this country.
At the original march in 1963, lead organizer Bayard Rustin insisted that no politicians or political appointees be allowed to speak. The differences between that event and this year's show "there were different principles at work today."

Mastodon, The Hunter
It's hard to believe twenty years have passed since Nirvana released the iconic and incendiary album the music industry, and my teenage self, needed in Nevermind. I was 14 then and my taste in music, while pedestrian, mainly included the giants of thrash metal and progressive rock. Like others my age, my interests included the fastidious pursuit of girls, muscle cars with eleven second quarter mile times, 1000 watt car amplifiers and finding bodegas selling alcohol or cigarettes or magazines with centerfolds to minors. The order of said pursuits largely depended on the day and virtually all were colossal failures. Oscar Wilde was right. "Youth is wasted on the young."
Nostalgia is hitting hard as I ponder the last two decades and just how much influence Nevermind had and continues to have over me. Nirvana ultimately opened the door to a broader range of music, and conversely closed the door on my old mainstays. It would be years until I considered listening to thrash metal again. I was convinced there wasn't a need as the best music thrash metal had to offer was well in the past and it's prime. That was true until I discovered the Atlanta quartet Mastodon.
With every release from Mastodon, the atavistic thrashers rejuvenate the genre with music sounding both wholly original and an homage to the thrash metal overlords of the eighties and nineties. Always a critical darling, each album release from Mastodon focuses mainly on singular themes or concepts. Leviathan's (2004) themes are about obsession and loosely centers the album around Herman Melville's famous novel Moby Dick. Blood Mountain (2006) features an ethereal adventure up the Blood Mountain. Crack the Skye (2009) is more ambitious, with the size and scale of Rush's sci-fi ode to Ayn Rand in 2112. It tells the story of a quadriplegic's ability to astral project and looses his connection to his body on Earth. Mastodon's latest release, The Hunter, has no singular themes or concepts making this a major departure for them.
Without the scope or vision of their previous albums, each song from The Hunter is more accessible for the listener. But because this is Mastodon, the songs are also bigger and sensational. There are full choruses, Theremin, Moog synthesizers as well as heavy doses of pure acid rock. The Hunter is thirteen songs of multifarious thrash metal beginning with the charged "Black Tongue." Like the rest of the album, "Black Tongue" is full of heavy riffs, proficient drumming and foreboding lyrics like "Death of the, You own the darkness, And taken my sight."
Mastodon have stated The Hunter is like a mix tape of their songs and because it's slightly uneven it also sounds like it. Incorporated with the trenchant blitz of metal is the sobering title track about the death of guitarist and vocalist Brent Hinds brother who suffered a heart attack while hunting. This is not the first time Mastodon used music to deal with the death of a family member. The suicide of drummer Brann Dailor's sister is featured in the creative fabric of Crack the Skye. The exhaustion of making that album may explain why The Hunter isn't a concept album like other Mastodon releases. The heart can only take so much. The biggest departure comes from "The Creature Lives," beginning with spaced out special effects; it feels right at home on a Pink Floyd or Rush album but sounds out of place here.
The remaining tracks off The Hunter continues to push the throttle and halfway through "Dry Bone Valley," you realize The Hunter is a road album--the kind of album to be played at dusk with it's percussive and galloping thrash thundering over a redlining V8 on an open black top. Now if I could only get my car to do an eleven second quarter mile.

I should preface this by stating that while I wouldn't necessarily say that Halloween is my favorite holiday (the pressure of what costume to be gets me everytime) I will admit that I love being scared. The adrenaline rushing, heart-pumping thrill of going to a haunted house or scary movie, not knowing what's going to pop out or be around the next corner invigorates me. And as technology continues to advance so does the way people can give those bone chilling frights.
So put away the sheets and move over that plastic skeleton, there are some new gadgets in town that are sure to add extra screams to any haunted platform.
• Night Frights' Scary Mary Mirror (starts at $1,699.99) is by far my favorite. Who has never gone into the bathroom and said the cursed chant of "Bloody Mary" terrified that something might actually show up. Now with this mirror, it actually does. The mirror uses a hidden LCD screen that plays back a number of creepy faces, that will change the reflection of the person looking into. It could be a zombie woman, killer clown or screaming ghost and you can bet it will leave your guests terrified. Of course the cost can be just as scary as the actual mirror itself but if you have some extra cash on hand and want to put it into your night of fright, I think it's worth the investment.
• A much more affordable option is Uncle Milton's Radio Control Tarantula. The extremely lifelike gadget (it gives me chills just looking at it) is controlled via a R/C controller that the owner can operate. For $17.45, you're bound to get some people moving away from the candy bowl with this guy creepy crawling around.
• Another great way to scare those brave enough to knock on your door is the Corpse Door Knocker ($12.99). A motion sensor activates the severed hand while grunting "let me in." All that is needed to operate this tech device are 3 AA batteries. Simple, yes. But equally chilling, absolutely.
There are plenty more spendy options out there, but these are just a few of the fun ones we came across in our hunt.
Happy Halloween and safe trick-or-treating!

Spooky Safety
By PHIL SEIBEL
As a father of three kids, safety has become one of those things that comes second nature. It seems that for everything that they can do, or participate in, there is some unseen "parent" danger. You know, Parent Danger, the kind of peril that you only notices after you've become a parent. Halloween is certainly no exception.
While every parent worries about sugar overload, sharing with siblings and preventing them from eating their "stash" all in one night, there are some real concerns to consider. Stranger danger, tainted sweets, traffic, and just keeping track of your little ghosties can present very challenging hurdles for parents.
Here are some tips and tech to help you from losing your mind (to zombies presumably) this Halloween.
Visibility. Whether you're navigating street corners or trying to distinguish your kid from the other 20 pumpkin costumes, they will not only need to be able to see but be able to be seen. Costumes have come a long way in ensuring that the wearer has a full field of unhindered view but it doesn't hurt to give your costume mask a once over and make sure that your child will be able to see clearly out of it. Having a clear line of sight will help your child avoid not only traffic but also anything in their walking path they might trip over. Don't forget, too, that visibility is a two way street — other people need to be able to see your costumed offspring so they don't bump into them or run over them. Of course there is the old standby of Duct Tape, and even to a tech guy Duct Tape is often the solution to anything (I am still a guy). However, new battery and lighting tech now offers us actual lit solutions. There are myriad choices for LED clip on lights, glow sticks or other options that will last an entire night of treating now and many that are designed to compliment your costumes. Whichever option you choose, make sure visibility is a part of your Halloween plan this year.
Location, Location, Location. Know where you are and where you are going. Seems simple enough but start driving around in the dark and you'll find in a hurry that you may not recognize your surroundings. That neighborhood across town that you know like the back of your hand during the day suddenly becomes the Land of Oz. So, what do you do? One option is to map our your route, whether you have a four hour tour de force of treat gathering or if you're just hitting up your co-workers and friends, knowing where you will be is always a good idea. You can also share this with your spouse or family so in case there is an emergency they will know where you are and how to get a hold of you. You can use mapping sites or apps to track your progress and make sure you have your cellphone with you in case you have car trouble or become lost. All smartphones (Android and iOS) have GPS capabilities that are directly linked to mapping programs and can help you identify where you are. Of course, given the hype around Apple Maps, you may want to take your location on that with a grain of salt.
Take a Picture. This is something really simple that you can do that may make the difference between having a regular, fun-filled Halloween and having a terrible night. Before you head out treating, use your phone to take a picture of your kids in their costume. That way, in a worst case scenario, if they do go missing you will have a current picture of them and in a costume that can help identify them. If they have a mask, make sure to take a picture with it off so you can see their face! Take the picture close enough that you can see facial details and any other information that will help people identify your child — eye color, hair, etc. The great thing about this technique is that you can always delete the picture later if you need to free up space on your phone. And c'mon, who doesn't want a cute picture of their kid in their costume? Another Tech Tip, use this trick anytime you go somewhere public — the waterpark, beach, mall, zoo — you may never need to use it but if you do you'll be glad you prepared.
Panic Button. What about your tweeners or young adults? Eventually your kids will grow up and will want to do these things on their own and you might not be able to be with them all the time. So, how can you help them stay safe if you can't be there with them? There is a growing number of apps directed at children, young women and people participating in activities on their own (like jogging) that act as a "panic button" to summon help if they run into trouble. Trick or Tracker (Android, $4.99) is an app that is basically "a where are they now" app. It needs to be installed on the parent's phone and the kid's phone, but when it is each can find each other with the touch of a button. The parent can also set up the app to have regular updates based on their child's phone GPS and sent on their location. It also comes with a couple of neat add-ons, one of which is called Guards Up. What this add-on does is allow you to set a geo-fence, that if that phone leaves that area, you are sent a message. If your kids are going to a certain neighborhood, or a party, you can set the parameters and be notified if they leave that area and you can contact them and confirm that it's OK.
Another app, that is geared a little more towards adults is called OnWatch (Android and iOS, free and paid versions) which is also an emergency notification app. This app lets your store emergency contact information into the app and then use it different ways to ensure your safety. The two basic ways that you can use the app is either interval check in or panic mode. With Interval check in, you set up regular intervals that you need to confirm your well being (by pushing a confirm button) and if you don't a pre-recorded help message is sent as a customized message with a GPS pin on your location at that time. This is useful for joggers, people on a blind date or any time that you may be concerned about your safety. The other method, panic button, is just that. Imagine this — as you're leaving your Halloween party you notice that you've managed to park at the back of the dimly lit parking lot and you're not sure if you will make it safely. Odds are you'll be OK, but why take the risk if you don't have to? So, you pull out the OnWatch app and bring up the panic mode where you literally have your finger on a button and if you push it the customized message is sent out or it can dial 911 directly.
Halloween is a really fun time of the year and who doesn't like getting a pillowcase full of Kit Kats? But that doesn't mean you can let your guard down. Stay safe this Halloween, and be a little techy while you're at it.

In Case You Missed It
Mini Me
Apple announced that iPad Minis are available for pre-order! The 7.9-inch devices will feature the same resolution as the full version and there is already buzz about all the new accessories. Note — they will also be using the new Lightning connector that the iPhone 5 uses. I actually saw one enthusiastic fan saying they were ordering an iPad Mini just for the extra power cable for their iPhone 5 (facepalm). I hope they were just kidding.
8 Times the fun
Windows released information that their new Windows 8 OS is out as well, initial reviews have claimed that it is the best OS of the decade but others have said it's a confusing mess not to be given second thought. I'd love to hear your opinion on it if you get a Windows 8 machine.

By PHIL SEIBEL
I just saw an article about how kids that have typically been trending towards an alarmingly sedentary lifestyle are being "saved" by the iPad because it promotes interactivity rather than just using TV as a babysitter. It goes on to say how the mentally stimulating activities that are available (music apps, reading apps, etc) give kids more opportunity to learn rather than just sit. While I wholeheartedly agree that the interactive experiences kids can have nowadays is getting better each day and that we have the opportunity to teach our children more using these resources, get outside. Put down the tablet, turn off your TV and go outside and play. Enjoy some family time outside of Words with Friends. Instead of flinging Angry Birds, throw some snowballs. Instead of teaching your kids piano on a virtual keyboard, take them to a symphony. My point is, use technology to enhance your education and lifestyle, not to replace it.

X-Ray Scanner
An x-ray is a quick, painless test that generates images of the structures inside your body.
Plain skull x-rays usually are not necessary for diagnosis except to help determine if changes in the bones of the skull have taken place. (Slow-growing tumors can cause calcification; increased intracranial pressure might cause thinning of the bones of the skull, also known as bony erosion.) X-rays may also be used to determine the condition of the skull near meningeal and skull base tumors.
X-rays go through your body, but they are absorbed in different amounts depending on the density of the material they pass through. Dense materials, such as bone and metal, show up white on x-rays. The air in your lungs appears black. Fat, muscle, and other tissues are varying shades of gray.
X-ray images may help the doctor form a preliminary diagnosis and suggest the type of tumor. However, they do not provide much information beyond that. The only way to get an exact diagnosis is to look at a tumor tissue sample under a microscope.
It is important to note that the information provided here is basic and does not take the place of an in-person assessment by a physician. If you have any questions about how brain tumors are diagnosed, please contact your doctor.

Domaine des Baumard Quarts de Chaume 2005
Chenin Blanc from Anjou, Loire, France
Winemaker's Notes
The sweet wines of Domaine des Baumard are from vineyards planted along the Layon river, which flows northwest into the Loire. The magnificent Quarts de Chaume is a fascinating wine, with a compelling intensity and authority of site which informs each vintage. Always long-lived, in great vintages this wine can be almost immortal, improving for decades.
Critical Acclaim
Wine Spectator - "A jaw dropper, with orange blossom, persimmon, fig and quince flavors that remain remarkably bright and light thanks to riveting acidity and a superfine, minerally finish. Pure and perfectly balanced, this refuses to break down in the mouth. The best since the monster 1995. Drink now through 2032."
Wine Enthusiast - "From arguably the finest sweet wine vineyard in the Loire, here is a wine that is deceptively fresh on first taste. Then the huge richness kicks in, balanced with blood oranges, white fig and pear flavors, and a mineral character. Complex, this needs many years to develop; superb."
The Wine Advocate - "Given a hard act to follow in the 2004, Baumard's 2005 Quarts de Chaume displays the most obviously botrytized, white raisin, and shriveled fruit character of any of their recent wines that I tasted. Over-ripe melon and pear, candied grapefruit, marzipan and raisin are accented by brown spices and herbal candy notes. Impressively lush and long, this should evolve interestingly over up to two decades, but will doubtless remain relatively plump and baroque in character."
International Wine Cellar - "Vivid gold. An exotically perfumed bouquet displays pear nectar, orange pith, honey and marzipan. Fleshy, palate-coating pit fruit flavors are complemented by anise, truffle and honey, with a stony mineral underpinning. The finish is broad, smooth and sweet, leaving exotic mango and candied orange notes behind. Showing very good complexity now but possesses the structure and depth to age for a long time."

Domaine des Baumard Winery
The Baumard family has been wine growing wine at Rochefort in the Anjou for centuries, working with the noble Chenin in what has long been accepted as its natural home, the slate-covered hillside vineyards along the Loire and Layton rivers. In 1953, the Baumard family acquired a vineyard in the Quarts de Chaume, and in 1968, purchased substantial acreage in Savennieres. Jean Baumard, an enologist and educator, as well as grower, introduced significant innovations to the winemaking region, bringing the dry wines of Savennieres, as well as his sweet wines, Quarts de Chaumes and Coteaux du Layon back to prominence. Now in retirement, further innovation has been carried on by Jean's son, Florent. View all Domaine des Baumard Wines
About LoireView a map of Loire wineries Chenin Blanc, Muscadet and Sauvignon Blanc. For reds, Cabernet Franc takes center stage but the region also has plantings of Pinot Noir and Gamay. The AC of Cremant de Loire is popular – these are the sparkling wines of the Loire, usually made with Chenin Blanc.
Notable FactsAs for which grapes you find in which regions… Starting on the Atlantic Coast and moving east - Muscadet hails from the region of the same name, within the larger Nantes district, right on the Atlantic coast. The wines are dry, citrusy and pleasant, but rarely powerful or intensely aromatic. Just inland from Nantes is Anjou-Samur, home to Savennières, an excellent source of dry Chenin Blanc. To the east is Touraine, where you'll find the popular white region of Vouvray - Chenin Blanc shines in Vouvray, which can be dry, off-dry or sweet – the majority of those found in the states are a lovely and food-friendly off-dry. In the same district, Cabernet Franc makes delicious, delicate and elegant reds from Bourguil and Chinon. Finally, in the Upper Loire area, Sancerre and Pouilly Fumé turn out Sauvignon Blancs of razor sharp acidity and minerality.
About France - Other regionsWhen it comes to wine, France is a classic. Classic blends, grapes and styles began in the country and they still remain. Think about it - people ask for a Burgundian style Pinot Noir, they refer to wines as Bordeaux or Rhone blends - Champagne even had to pass a law to stop international wineries from putting their region on the label of all sparkling wine.
The top regions of France are: Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne, Languedoc-Roussillon, Loire, Rhone. And these regions are so diverse! It makes sense that wine regions throughout the world try to emulate their style. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah are no longer French varieties, but international varieties. They may not be the leader of cutting edge technology or value-priced wines, but there is no doubt that they are still producing wines of great quality and diversity.

I want to reduce the largeness/width of my nipples (height is not a problem).I don't want them to be completely removed.A surgeon i saw suggested to divide the nipples horizontaly, remove the lower part and then turn the upper part down.But I also read that there is a chevron logo incision technique (can this technique be used on me or are my nipples to small for that technique?).what is the best approach(es) to reduce the nipple circumference/width in a case like mine?How would you treat me?
What Technique Would You Recommend for Male Nipple Reduction? (photo)
Doctor Answers 2
Orientation of excision and closure determine nipple dimensions...
The orientation of the excision and closure will be the determinant of the nipple shape. A horizontal excision with folding over of the nipple will reduce the height, while a vertical wedge excision will narrow the width of the nipple. Discuss your desired end points again with your surgeon so that he may adjust the excision to achieve the outcome that you desire.
Web reference: http://chirurgieplastiquemontreal.net
Nipple Reduction for Male?
Thank you for the question.
Given that your concern is the width (not the height) of the nipples, I think removing a small triangular segment of the nipple will serve to decrease the width of the nipple while not changing the height. The technique that the surgeon you saw recommended to you will decrease the height of the nipple.
I hope this helps.

With few exceptions, the Bulletin Fillers are not original with me. I gather them from a variety of sources. Those marked OCM are from Oscar Miles, a brother in Florence, Alabama. Sentence Sermons from Proverbs are just that. These are listed in the order in which they appear in the sacred text. After this is a section titled My How Times Have Changed! These are quotes about God and the Bible from our Founding Fathers and great leaders in American history. Billboard Messages From God have mysteriously appeared on billboards across the nation. No one has claimed responsibility for providing them. Finally, at the bottom is some really good Food For Thought.
I hope this page is a benefit to the preachers (like me) and church secretaries who struggle each week putting the bulletin together. For anyone who uses this page regularly, new entries appear at the bottom of their respective section, except for the Proverbs section, where the scriptures are placed in their proper order. -- Todd Clippard

There is gold and a multitude of rubies, but the lips of knowledge are a precious jewel. 20:15

Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou be like unto him. 26:4
Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he wise in his own eyes. 26:5
Like a lame man legs, which hang useless, a a proverb in the mouth of fools. 26:7
Like an archer who wounds everyone is one who hires a passing fool or drunkard. 26:10
A lazy man is wiser in his own eyes than seven men who can answer sensibly. 26:15

Like a madman who throws firebrands, arrows, and death is the man who deceives his neighbor and says, "I am only joking!" 26:18

London play examines financial crisis using pile of cash
By Mike Collett-White
LONDON (Reuters) - One of the first things people see when they sit down to watch "Money the Game Show" at The Bush Theatre in London is a pile of 10,000 pound coins on the floor of the stage.
Standing by is a security guard to ensure the cash does not go missing over the ensuing 90 minutes during which two "hedge fund managers" guide the audience through the world of derivatives trading and the 2008 financial crisis.
Writer/director Clare Duffy recalls her sense of shock during the economic meltdown which undermined some of the assumptions many had about capitalism, markets and, more broadly, money.
"Of course I've been thinking ever since Lehman Brothers went bankrupt, it was just extraordinary to see the globalised economy on the brink of disappearing, money actually not working," she told Reuters during a break from rehearsals.
"It never occurred to me that was possible."
Duffy has tried to make her dramatization of the crisis as engaging as possible using a series of games in which the two actors - each playing a hedge fund manager - lead their half of the audience against the other.
Casino is on one side, Queenie on the other, and they invite viewers to bet long, bet short, and to hedge both ways.
In one game, an audience member puts as many coins into a suitcase as possible for as long as the manager can keep a soap bubble floating in the air. Continued...

De Blasio Orders Second Review of City's 911 System
A week after he called a halt to new spending on an upgrade to the city's 911 emergency response system, Mayor Bill de Blasio announced Friday that his administration is launching an additional review, this time of the current system's operations.
The announcement came at the same time city officials testified before a City Council committee about those operations. The hearing followed a series of reports on WNYC that detailed problems with a process known as Unified Call Taking.
De Blasio said the second review would focus on all the existing 911 system's operations.
"We know for sure that the big vision for technological change has not been working and has not been working on schedule," de Blasio told reporters at an unrelated press conference. "We're going to rework all that, which means obviously, you have to make sure your existing system is good for the foreseeable future, until you can come up with the long-term solution."
Last week, the administration suspended any new contracts or spending on the $2.1 billion upgrade project. That order called on the city's Department of Investigation and Department of Information Technology and Telecommunications (DoITT) to conduct a 60 day review of the long-term system upgrade.
Several councilmembers, along with members of the city's fire unions, are calling on the administration to change how 911 calls are currently processed. They argue that police operators who answer 911 calls should just ask what the emergency is — and not where it is or other details — before a fire or EMS dispatcher comes on the line.
The mayor's director of operations told the Council hearing the city would test that process during the review.
"We want to take a critical emergency response system and get it as close to perfect as we can," said Mindy Tarlow, Director of the Mayor's Office of Operations. "That's what we're here to do and that's what this review is designed to do."
Earlier Friday, councilmembers and leaders of the city's fire and EMS unions rallied at City Hall to call for immediate changes. But Tarlow said there is no end date set for the operations review.

way you expect things to happen.
Get your CM requirements down clearly. It's not that you need a way to compare the features and problems fixed in one build to another. It's that you need that at a touch of a button. You can't be expected to make timely decisions if your information takes hours or days to come by.
I might challenge you to look back at some of the past CM journals to identify better ways of doing things. This is generally quite different from the way most projects do it. Do you want your CM costs to be 5% or 15% of your project costs. That's quite a difference off your bottom line.
The most common high level requirement we found in our initial requirements gathering for building a CM tool was that the project needs to be able to customize it to their own processes. Not a problem for some solutions: they just throw in a compiler, a pencil and an eraser. Voila, it's customizable. No!
Your process is going to change and evolve as you understand your business better, go through mergers, and understand your development better. Make sure it's easy to change. This is a precondition. It doesn't have to have a voice recognition feature with artificial intelligence that converts your tools and processes to match your verbal requests. It does, however, have to support your processes and allow them to evolve in terms of data, user interface, rules, triggers, permissions, roles. Don't settle for: we'll figure out how to change it later. You want to avoid the mess of configuring an unconfigurable tool. You don't want to become the tool supplier, just the process supplier.
If you have to learn some tools in order to create new user interfaces, etc., so be it. If you don't, even better. Most tools will allow some level of customization through an "administrative" GUI, while leaving the rest to your compiler, pencil and eraser. Find out what capabilities lie on what side of this fence. And beware of the open-ended questions such as: Can you do automated approvals? The answer is yes. Find out instead, how much effort is it to do automated approvals, or even better: show me how this is done. If it's a 5 minute thing, great! If it's a 5 month thing, not so great.
Multiple Sites
Another area of danger is multiple site management. There is often a tendency to look at a version control tool that can support multiple sites and say, OK, well if we use that tool our problems are solved. Not so. Multiple site management means management of file versions, problem reports, requirements, customer tracking data, documents, project management tasks, etc. across multiple sites. If you've got multiple tools doing the separate functions, expect this to be a major issue unless they all have a common architecture for multiple site management. A single integrated tool that supports the multiple site management as a

I have a Maytag MSD2756AEW and had the same defrost problem.
Wow, what an excellent source of information! :-)
My refrigerator: MSD2756AEW
Can a bad C2 cause any other failure modes besides a buzzing relay? Shorting L1 & TEST on my ADC causes the relay to click but no buzzing. The heater coil doesn't get hot. I don't believe the compressor turns off either. Perhaps this is just a momentary click (now I feel like an idiot for putting the whole thing back together again without verifying that). Shorting L1 & TEST again does not produce another click, so I assume the relay is still energized, unless the PIC somehow enforces a minimum time between cycles.
The thermostat works fine (i.e. closes when cold) and the coil gets red hot when I apply 120V directly. I've been defrosting manually every weekend for several weeks, but I'm leaving town tomorrow for almost a month and hope not to come home to a puddle of water on the floor. :-(
FWIW, last time I went on vacation I came home to find the control board behind the front panel controls had a shorted triac, which energized the solenoids in both the ice maker & dispenser door long enough to melt the plastic beyond repair (had to replace it) and eventually burned out a trace on the board. I fixed the board with a $1.99 triac and some wire. Now 6 months later my ADC is bad? I bought Maytag because Consumer Reports told me it was reliable. Puke.

The Defense will be worse until they take his salary and spend it on someone better. Hated that signing from day 1
Read back what your writing and think about is that the best way to spend money on a team. 9 Million on a safety that cant play the pass . No wonder why this Defense is awful thats ridiculous
He was drafted as a CB and was moved to Safety, not because of old age, but because of poor coverage ability. The Giants signed him as a Safety, he looked bad out there all season. We had a CB that had more tackles and interceptions than Rolle that season. The following season he was moved to CB in Nickle defense because of a bunch of injuries. Then we were reminded of why he was moved to Safety to begin with. The only place he seems to have significant value is as in-the-box Safety, but that isn't what he was given the big contract for. We needed a center fielder who would be a Safety net for big pass plays, which sadly is his biggest weakness because he's not very good at keeping the play in front of him.
IMO Rolle is JR's worst FA signing.

if I'm not mistaken Rolle blew a number of coverages last season when he was supposed to giving help over the top which resulted in big plays

Manchester Attack at Ariana Grande's Concert:...
After successfully hosting the show, Kimmel attended the 64th annual Primetime Emmy Awards Governors Ball at Nokia Theatre with his father, Joe. The comedian introduced his parents during the show, joking, "They always told me I could do anything I set my mind to. And this year I set my mind to winning the Emmy. And guess what? I didn't." A "devastated" Jimmy then asked security to remove his mom and dad. "It's OK if you Taser them if you need to," he joked.
