New Study Shows Obese Patients Have 12 Times Higher Risk of Plastic Surgery Problems
posted on
According to a recent news release by Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, obese patients have nearly a 12 times higher risk of complications after elective plastic surgery than patients who are of a healthy weight. Results of the study show that obese patients tend to recover slower than those who are of a healthier weight because there is usually less blood flow in fat tissue and the operating sites are usually much deeper, which puts the patient at risk for developing an infection.
If you are obese and are considering plastic surgery, talk to your cosmetic surgeon or plastic surgeon about all of the pros and cons of surgery and what you can expect from the outcome of your procedure. Take a look at plastic surgery before and after photos for inspiration, and look at the outcomes of surgery on patients who are of a similar size and weight as you.
Obesity and Plastic Surgery Warnings
Johns Hopkins researchers point out that not only are the risks of poor outcomes increased with obese patients, but many obese patients won't qualify for financial assistance in the event that they need revision surgery or additional procedures or treatment after surgery. Obese patients are at a much higher risk for complications with elective surgery, and may end up needing extended hospital stays, additional doctor visits and treatment that may or may not be covered by health insurance. Complications such as inflammation, infection and pain were between 11 and 22 times more likely among obese patients than patients of a healthy weight, according to the study's findings.
Undergoing Plastic Surgery When You're Overweight or Obese
Any type of surgery performed on obese or overweight patients carries several risks, so it's important that you are aware of the potential health risks and dangers involved before you go under the knife. Since the healing process may be much slower than the average for you, you may need to take more time off work to rest and recover. You will need to invest in compression garments that fit your body properly, and may need to have these special-ordered or custom made. You may need to make some changes to your diet, eating habits and lifestyle to maintain results of your procedure, and to stay healthy during the recovery period. Your plastic surgeon will address of all of these areas during your consultation.
Set up a consultation with a cosmetic surgeon or a board certified plastic surgeon in your area to find out if you are a good candidate for elective surgery. Not all obese patients are in good health to proceed with elective surgery, so you will need a professional recommendation and evaluation before you can make your decision.

Strong Growth and an Upbeat Consumer
U.S. economic reports on July 27 revealed a solid round of second-quarter gross domestic product data, with lower trend growth for real GDP, a higher average pace of chain price gains, and consumers who remained confident through late July despite the downward nudge in the otherwise still high July confidence reading.
GDP growth accelerated to a 3.4% pace in the second quarter, from 0.6% in the first quarter. Consumption growth slowed to 1.3%, however, from a revised 3.7% rate in the first quarter. Fixed investment grew at a 2.2% rate, following steady subtractions over the prior four quarters. Residential construction fell at a 9.3% rate, which is well below the drag of the past four quarters, and nonresidential investment rose at an 8.1% rate.
Chain price gains moderated to a 2.7% rate from a 4.2% pace in the first quarter, while the core PCE growth rate slowed to 1.4% from a year ago, vs. 2.4% in the first quarter.
Residential Construction Down 9.3%
The report revealed almost exactly what we expected for the second quarter, with a lean pace of inventory accumulation and solid mix of sales that bodes well for third-quarter GDP and the economy overall. The revisions to the quarterly figures for the prior three years revealed an average 0.3% reduction in "real" growth, with a boost to the chain price indexes of about half that amount, leaving a worse mix of data for the Fed for the cycle overall.
Among the components listed in the second-quarter GDP reports, consumption posted exactly the expected 1.3% growth clip, as did fixed investment, at 2.2% growth. The closely watched residential construction figure was also almost a direct hit, with a 9.3% rate of decline, following quarterly swings over the prior three years that were not revised significantly.
Exports underperformed our estimate modestly, with 6.4% growth, but imports were spot-on, with a 2.6% rate of decline. Government spending growth outpaced our guess, with a 4.2% gain, and this overshoot filled the gap of the small export shortfall to leave real GDP growth right in line with our 3.4% forecast.
Some Consolation to the Fed
More generally, we saw a downward revision to trend GDP growth over the past three years of 0.3% that lowered most quarterly growth rates by this amount. There were also associated upward price revisions that were nearly as large. For the revision pattern in the "real" data, the growth path for consumption was revised down the most. The inventory data were revised to exacerbate the recent inventory cycle, with higher figures in 2005 and a bigger correction in 2006, but less dramatic swings in the past few quarters.
As with last year's midyear revision, the bulk of the reduction in "real" trend growth came from an offsetting upward bump to chain price gains. The upward quarterly chain price revisions ended in the third quarter of last year. However, the same figures of 1.7% for the fourth quarter of 2006 and 4.2% for the first quarter of this year are still intact, which may be of some consolation to the Fed.
Yet, more generally, the Fed now faces a lowered bar for what constitutes sustainable "real" growth, and a higher inflation path through this expansion that raises the risks—especially now that the inventory cycle has reversed course and is bringing back the 3% handle to U.S. GDP growth figures.
Downward Nudge in July Sentiment
Also reported July 27, Michigan sentiment was nudged down to 90.4 in the final July print from the 92.4 preliminary reading. But the figure still marks a gain from the 85.3 June final number. The current conditions index slipped to 104.5, after the preliminary number surged to 105.7 from June's final 101.9. The futures outlook index declined to 81.5, vs. the 83.9 preliminary number and 74.7 in June. However, the inflation index edged up to 3.4% for the 1-year ahead outlook, from 3.3% previously.
For the downward nudge in the final July Michigan sentiment figure to 90.4, the level still reflects a big bounce relative to the 85.3 June reading, which parallels the improvement in the weekly ABC/Washington Post figures to a -5 in the most recent week and a likely -8 July average, following the -12 average reading in June. But it bucks the 5.3 point decline seen in the RBC-IPSOS cash index in July, to 76.1, and the 0.9 point drop in the IBD/TIPP index, to 48.2.
We now expect the Conference Board's consumer confidence index to rise to the 105 area, from 103.9 in June, with a recent downgrade due to the stock market adjustment, which may impact that measure.
The various confidence measures moderated through the second quarter from surprisingly high first-quarter levels, as soaring gasoline prices and interest rates took a chunk out of the various measures. Yet we are mostly seeing a confidence bounce as we enter the third quarter that's consistent with a bounce in retail sales in July, following the notable June underperformance. And, with or without the bounce, the confidence figures through 2007 overall have continued to oscillate around levels that are historically solid.

Evomen via Revo,I cannot delete that &%##$%%% AVG from desktop nor my laptop.
Can anyone help?
thanks sixcard
Thanks Xhi, but the AVG tools did not work. Tried it twice.
Seems there must some entry (s) in the registry that lock this program.
This may be solved. My main concern was that the default search engine showed up as AVG. (in FF and PaleMoon) I remembered that I can change that (small down arrow in the search engine box). Did that and now the AVG icon is gone and replaced with a Google icon.
Xhi, in addition to the above I saw many AVG folders and files when I soon searched for "AVG" via "Everything".
About the only thing you can do to eliminate those is to reinstall it and remove it using RevoUninstaller in Advanced mode. However if things are working now I'd leave it alone.
This may bite me down the road, but did as G41 suggested. Found a bunch of folders and files with AVG in the name. Deleted them in the Safe mode.
Also found some that were abbreviations for average ... kept them.
Solved, I hope!

danabrit brauchte ein neues Logo Design und hat einen Wettbewerb auf 99designs gestartet.
Aus 19 Designs von 8 Designern wurde eine Gewinner gewählt.
QuiltHood.com is the "community" site for a group of quilting stores I am designing websites for. QuiltHood is where customers will go to find the complete list of its member stores, and to do search that are performed across all of the stores at once.
Acceptable File Formats: PSD (preferred), TIFF, or JPG.
We are starting from zero, design-wise, so the field is pretty much wide open. We need a logo that is fairly simple and adaptable to different formats (icons, logo, print). Color is good, as long as the palette is pleasing and not garish. We want the name to stick in people's heads, so a logo that incorporates the brand name is essential.
The target audience is primarily female, 35-65 years of age, middle income. The logo should appeal to "crafty" people but avoid the homespun/folk art/shabby chic genre. Logo should project the image of the site - simple to use, sleek, effective, with a decidedly feminine aesthetic.
- Simple lines, so the logo scales well.
- Pleasing colors
- Feminine appeal
- Adaptability to both web and print usage
- Overdone
- Clipart
- Gratuitous use of WordArt and blatant drop shadows
- Comic Sans font - just... no.

What is Tantalum Capacitor?
Ceramic Capacitor vs Tantalum Capacitor 2
Minimal variation in capacitance characteristics
Tantalum capacitors (TC) experience very little change in capacitance characteristics due to circuit DC voltage and/or temperature fluctuations, eliminating the need to verify the effective capacitance - unlike ceramic capacitors (MLCC).
Capacitance Characteristics
No sound problems
In many cases when using ceramic capacitors, audible noise is discovered during final evaluation, which require urgent countermeasures before shipment in order to prevent significant damage from occurring. In contrast, because tantalum capacitors themselves do not resonate, no noise is generated, ensuring worry-free operation.

Copy for review provided by Around the World Tours in anticipation of an honest review
50 words or less: Sam and Grace have overcome huge obstacles in order to be together, and that was just the tip of the iceberg. Now they must face the new wolves, old trials, prejudices, and the quandary of how they fit into the bigger picture.
Linger was one of those books that went on my TBR pile as soon as I'd heard about it. I completely adored Shiver and was pleased as punch to discover it would be a trilogy (besides the inevitable book withdrawal while waiting for Linger to be released) and am happy to announce that this book takes all of the strengths of the first book and plays them up beautifully.
After Grace and Sam have defied the odds in the first book, it seems like it should be clear sailing for them both individually and as a couple, but that is definitely not the case here. Sam has to deal with the issues left behind by his mentor and father figure and deal with the arrival of the new, recently turned wolves, especially Cole, who would be Trouble with a capital T even if his drug addiction and impulsive nature were all that lurked beneath the surface. Sam also has to deal with his own past issues, especially about his parents, and those memories are certainly sad and terrifying.
Grace, meanwhile, has to address the fact that her absentee parents have suddenly decided that they want to know what she's up to, the fact that her best friend Olivia has disappeared and she's one of the few people that know where she really is, and support Sam through his transition to life as a human all year round.
Even with all of that going on, the supporting cast, consisting of loose cannon Cole and distant but hurting Isabel, get plenty of attention and I found myself really, really invested in finding out what happens between them. Without giving too much away, each one might be exactly what the other needs to find a place and a sense of self in the face of crushing pain and ennui. The story is told in alternating points of view between Sam, Grace, Cole and Isabel, and I found myself eager to read what was happening in each stage of the story.
This book has the same poetic tone and beautiful writing style as Shiver; the narration ebbs and flows and the emotions and thoughts of each character are crystal clear. There isn't anything that seemed out of place, and instead each chapter felt perfectly crafted and complete. This isn't a rock 'em sock 'em book where the heroine runs around in the basement of the boarding school and is pursued by supernatural hotties at every turn; rather, it's the documentation of the continued blossoming of a love between two people who just want to be together, which is refreshing, refreshing, refreshing.
Sidebar: I LOVED the way the author did not back down from the conflict between Grace and her parents. Grace's parents have been almost completely absent from her life thus far, and have completely taken advantage of Grace's not being a troublemaker to pursue their own lives and passions. When it becomes clear that Grace is ready to do the same, and that by extension their free, live-in housekeeper and cook might be ready to move on, they go batshit, and Grace does not stand for it. She stares them down and, without ever questioning their love for her, articulates really well that they have kind of given up their right to have a legitimate opinion on her life, since they decided a long time ago they didn't really want to be a direct part of it. There's a passage where Grace says her parents have to decide whether they want to be parents or roommates, and her mom basically says wow way to spring that on us before we have to leave for our social engagement that really made me say "dude, you folks have completely missed the point." While I admit that I'm at a complete loss as to why Grace's parents seem to dislike Sam so much (besides the obvious position that it's become apparent that they're losing control of their only child) I think it's a great conversation starter and was one of my favorite subplots of the book.
I could go on and on and gush forever about how awesome this book is, but really what I want you to do is to read and experience both books for yourself. There's one more coming out to round out this trilogy, and I'm definitely looking forward to seeing this through to the end, and seriously rooting for a happily-ever-after for all the characters.

Florida Gulf Coast's Sherwood Brown, left, and Chase Fieler celebrate after winning a third-round game against San Diego State on Sunday. (Associated Press)
Last Modified: Monday, March 25, 2013 11:13 PM
By Jim Gazzolo / American Press
Who knew Cinderella went to the ball with such a swagger...and dreadlocks?
College basketball's big dance has once again produced its great underdog.
This one isn't missing any slippers and doesn't seem too concerned about the clock striking midnight, or much of anything else for that matter.
Instead, Florida Gulf Coast University is taking the nation by storm, busting bracket after bracket along the way.
With each win, thousands more join what has become Eagle Nation.
In case you were wondering, the young and struggling program averaged just around 2,000 fans a home game during the regular season. That means the Eagles didn't take Fort Myers or any other place by storm until last Friday.
That's when it all changed for the tiny school whose players believed even if the fans didn't notice.
Despite being a 15 seed, FGCU doesn't enter the big arenas quietly, like many of the other lower wanna-bes. They don't slink into their dressing room and they have yet to even suggest that they are just happy to be here, there or anywhere.
This is a club that has found a way to not only shock the likes of mighty Georgetown, but also become the first No. 15 to make it to the round of 16. That's sweet.
By doing so, the Eagles have soared in popularity. Their win over San Diego State Sunday evening proved the first upset of the tournament was not a fluke.
Little FGCU has proven all the experts wrong, even if there was evidence they might be a pretty good team going into the tournament.
Earlier in the season the Eagles beat Miami, a fellow member of the Sweet 16 and a No. 2 seed out of the ACC, by double-digits no less.
That alone shows just how big a deal beating Georgetown was not a fluke.
However, there are more than just rooting for the underdog that makes this story and team likeable. The Eagles are fun to watch.
That has not been the case for a good portion of this tournament or college basketball of late.
There has been drama, no question, but the endings of games tell only portion of the story.
College basketball has become stale, boring, slow. Not the Eagles. They are a high-wire act from start to finish.
In a game where every possession seems to be coached, over-coached and then re-coached again, Florida Gulf Coast races up and down the court with youthful exuberance.
Others are worried about making mistakes while this group is willing to make plays.
While most of college basketball seems stuck in a mosh pit of sorts, the Eagles jump over the pack and run to their own tune.
When Georgetown closed to within seven points in the final minutes and the dream seemed to be slipping out of the Eagles hands there was no panic and not even a hint of slowing down.
Just when the game could be lost, an over-the-shoulder, no-look pass led to an alley-oop dunk and the final nail in the Hoyas' coffin.
College basketball's elite would have instead slowed the game down, likely called a time out and tried to milk the clock.
They may not win it all, in fact they likely won't. But, the Eagles have caught our attention at least for one week.
And the have brought a little fun back into the game even if they have wrecked our brackets.

Reports: Cassidy's teenage daughter is pregnant
BATON ROUGE- Congressman Bill Cassidy's unmarried, 17-year-old daughter, is pregnant the doctor told media outlets Thursday.
Cassidy, a conservative Republican running for U.S. Senate against Democrat Mary Landrieu, is campaign on a traditional family values platform. He is considered the leading GOP candidate for the seat. CNN.com reported Landrieu is one of the most vulnerable Democrats running for re-election in a midterm race.
Cassidy said he and his wife, who is also a doctor, learned about the pregnancy earlier this year. Their daughter is expected to have her child sometime this summer.
"We welcome our grandchild as a joyous addition to our family," Cassidy told a newspaper and website in New Orleans, CNN reported. "Our daughter now faces a more challenging future than her peers. She has our unconditional love and support."
Cassidy added that his children are the greatest blessing of he and his wife's lives.

In a competitive situation, a single-camera comedy from Sex And The City alumna Jenny Bicks has landed at NBC with a put pilot commitment. The project, from 20th Century Fox TV, where Bicks is under an overall deal, is about a beached mermaid in search of adventure who winds up working in a bar/attraction in Miami with an eclectic group of people as lost as she is. Bicks is the writer-executive producer. She most recently served as executive producer/showrunner on the Showtime dark comedy The Big C. The mermaid project reunites Bicks with NBC topper Bob Greenblatt who, while at Showtime, developed and put the cancer comedy starring Laura Linney on the air. Bicks, repped by UTA and attorney Ken Richman, previously created and executive produced the ABC/Warner Bros TV one-hour dramedy Men In Trees and the NBC/NBC Studios comedy Leap Of Faith. Mermaids are in the pop culture zeitgeist at the moment following Animal Planet's highly rated and controversial "documentary" specials.
Mermaid Comedy From Jenny Bicks Gets Put Pilot Commitment At NBC
20 Comments
If she can pull off cancer… I guess she can pull off beached mermaid. ???
cue people complaining that this is a dumb idea, and then complaining in other pilot news articles that nothing is original.
We want original ideas/concepts, not gimmicks.
What makes this a gimmick? Because she's a mermaid? Isn't it all in execution? Bicks is not a gimmicky writer.
Nice job, Nostradamus, predicting that people will complain about an idea this obviously stupid.
I'd like to imagine how this presentation went. "It's Splash meets Cheers!"
Love Jenny Bicks! Congratulations. She's a terrific writer.
Good for Jenny. Terrific writer who's taking a shot on something fun and light-hearted. If anyone can pull this off in a smart and entertaining way, it's her. Nice job!
Welcome to 1967. At this point, NBC is pretty well doomed.
SPLEERS? Can I have a job?
Oh good God…
There's a version of this show that's great. This will not be that version.
Curious, Warren, how you could say that from a one-line log line? What is your brilliant version that won't be made?
Great, now every network will be looking for a way to have female leads who don't have vaginas!
this sounds absolutely idiotic. my hunch is if she didn't have her sex & the city credit this idea would never have flown.
Youtube search…. "Merman" by Alphonso McAuley
I have wanted a network tv show involving mermaids for awhile now but this doesn't sound like what I want. A mermaid show should be a drama and feature lots of supernatural elements and preferably be on the CW. Not some lame NBC comedy.
What about a Merman,, a MerMAN!
I actually think this sounds fun and not to mention likely a more unexpected take on the whole mermaid thing. Jenny Bicks wrote such fun great characters on "Men in Trees", I'm looking forward to this!

New Hampshire Moose Lottery Now Open
Lottery applications are now available for the adventure of a lifetime - hunting moose in New Hampshire. The New Hampshire Fish and Game Department's 2008 moose hunt lottery is open! The entry fee is $15 for New Hampshire residents and $25 for nonresidents (nonrefundable). New Hampshire's moose hunt is nine days long, starting the third Saturday in October. This year's hunt runs from October 18-26, 2008. The odds of being selected in last year's lottery were about 1 in 20 for new Hampshire residents and 1 in 55 for nonresidents, some of the best odds in the nation for moose hunting.
Visit the Fish and Game website at www.HuntNH.com to enter the moose hunt lottery online or print out an application to mail in. Applications can also be picked up from Fish and Game license agents statewide. Moose hunt lottery applications for 2008 must be postmarked or submitted online by midnight Eastern Time, May 30, 2008, or they may be delivered to N.H. Fish and Game headquarters in Concord prior to 4:00 p.m. that day. Winners will be selected through a computerized random drawing on June 20.
Last year (2007), more than 16,700 applicants entered the lottery for the chance to win one of 675 permits. Those who are lucky enough to take part in the hunt have an excellent chance of success. Last year almost three-fourths of New Hampshire permit holders got their moose. Permit holders can choose another hunter of any age to accompany them on the hunt, but only one moose may be taken per permit.
Each applicant can enter the moose hunt lottery once each year. A bonus point system improves the chances for unsuccessful applicants who apply each consecutive year. Hunters who get permits are not eligible to enter the lottery for the following three years. It is not necessary to have a current hunting license to enter the lottery, but hunters who are offered and accept a permit must buy a $150 resident or $500 nonresident moose hunt permit, as well as a New Hampshire hunting license.
Both state residents and nonresidents may enter the moose lottery. The number of permits available to nonresidents is capped, based on the prior year's sales of nonresident hunting licenses (about 15 to 17 percent of the total).
For more information on moose hunting in New Hampshire, including a moose hunt Q&A, regional success rates and photos and stories from past New Hampshire moose hunts visit http://www.wildlife.state.nh.us/Hunting/Hunt_species/hunt_moose.htm.
The state's current moose population is estimated at about 6,000 animals.

The New Hampshire Fish and Game Department works in partnership with the public to conserve, manage and protect the state's fish, wildlife and marine resources and their habitats; inform and educate the public about these resources; and provide the public with opportunities to use and appreciate them.

We investigate the Shilnikov sense homoclinicity in a 3D system and consider the dynamical behaviors in vicinity of the principal homoclinic orbit emerging from a third order simplified system. It depends on the application of the simplest normal form theory and further evolution of the Hopf-zero singularity unfolding. For the Shilnikov sense homoclinic orbit, the complex form analytic expression is accomplished by using the power series of the manifolds surrounding the saddle-focus equilibrium. Then, the second order Poincaré map in a generally analytical style helps to portrait the double pulse dynamics existing in the tubular neighborhood of the principal homoclinic orbit.

Big Ears Teddy, Jian Ghomeshi's Stuffed Bear, Treated 'Anxiety Disorder'
Of all the revelations to surface since abuse allegations against Jian Ghomeshi began flooding in, one of the most potentially damning details concern a stuffed blue bear named "Big Ears Teddy."
Trigger warning: This article contains information about violence which may be triggering to survivors.
According to the Toronto Star, two women recall Ghomeshi introducing them to his teddy bear. They then told the Star that Ghomeshi said "Big Ears Teddy shouldn't see this" and turned the bear around before allegedly slapping or choking them.
The article resulted in the hashtag "#BigEarsTeddy" trending on Twitter for a period of time Wednesday evening. It also led to widespread discovery of the Twitter account @bigearsteddy that included several tweets dating from last April alleging Ghomeshi was violent towards women.
However, there are other references to Big Ears Teddy dating back even further.
In the acknowledgement section of his two-year-old memoir, 1982, Ghomeshi wrote "To my fluffy, dutiful traveling companion, BigEars."
Ghomeshi also referenced his attachment to Big Ears Teddy during an appearance at the Stratford Festival Forum earlier this year. According to the Stratford Beacon Herald, Ghomeshi told the audience that "Big Ears has played a really important role in my life, because I have a general anxiety disorder."
He said he had a similar blue teddy bear as a child and his therapist urged him to buy a replacement, which had become an "odd, somewhat embarrassing but ultimately effective safety net" for him, wrote Mike Beitz from the Beacon Herald. Ghomeshi said the bear sat with him when he drove on the highway and that he brought it with him to the L.A. hotel where he wrote 1982.
When Ghomeshi received a standing ovation from those at the Avon Theatre after his talk, he reportedly said to artistic director Antoni Cimolino, "If only Big Ears could see this."

Weather not kind to area courses
Sat., Aug. 31, 2013, midnight
Darrell Hull wasn't taking any chances.
A few weeks ago five lightning strikes at Prairie Falls Golf Club zapped computers, segments of the irrigation system and split a tree in half, puncturing a water line.
Prairie Falls went six days without computers and two days sans water as maintenance crews rebuilt sprinkler boxes and repaired other damage. When Hull, the course manager, heard of a storm approaching last Sunday he hopped in his car.
"I came over at 8 that night," he said, "and unplugged everything and shut down the computers."
The storm didn't hit North Idaho courses as hard as others in the region, but it was another forceful reminder of Mother Nature's influence on the Inland Northwest golf community.
Chewelah pro Jason Pitt received a text Sunday night from his mom, who lives in north Spokane, about a nasty storm heading his way. The timing couldn't have been worse. It was Chewelah's turn to host the weekly pro-am, with tee times beginning at 7:20 a.m. Monday.
Pitt lost power at his house as the storm blew through but his main concern was the condition of Chewelah's 27 holes. Crews counted 18 pine trees leveled on the 18 holes to be used in the pro-am. Six or seven trees toppled like dominos on one hole, a couple striking homes.
"Our superintendent was out driving the course before daylight, checking out damage and prioritizing which trees needed the most attention," Pitt said.
The course was deemed safe and playable. Maintenance staff and a handful of homeowners began dealing with the trees and finalizing the course set-up. Pro-am tee times were delayed by only 30 minutes.
"They did an amazing job getting it ready," Pitt said. "The big trees were sawed up or pulled off to the side and marked as ground under repair. The biggest issue was we played lift, clean and place because of the debris – pine cones, twigs, and needles all over the place. There was a little chunk of the 18th green that got taken out, but no real lasting damage."
The storm only lasted 15-20 minutes but winds approaching 60 mph were too much for some trees.
"What made this one strange is when we lose trees it's usually a sudden wind from the north," Pitt said. "This was from the south."
Pitt recalled a summer storm roughly five years ago that dropped 100 trees just before Chewelah's annual Chataqua tournament.
About 30 miles to the south, Deer Park Golf Club lost eight trees to high winds.
"They were kind of in places that don't come into play much," pro Craig Schuh said, "but it's hard to grow those trees. It does make a difference as far as looks go."
Weather conditions "dictate everything," Schuh said. "It's a little different now because I lease the place. Before I never really worried about it, when you had a bad day you had a bad day. Now it's, 'Holy cow.' "
Forecasts that include even a slight chance of rain are sometimes enough to keep picky players at home. That impacts a course's bottom line.
"It seems different the last couple years," Schuh said. "If they say there's a 30 percent chance of rain we're just dead. The forecasters should say 70 percent chance of sunshine instead because that sounds better!"
It didn't sound very good to Hull when he received a call from the police a few weeks ago about water running down Spokane Street adjacent to Prairie Falls. He figured a sprinkler head was stuck but further inspection revealed extensive damage from an overnight storm.
In addition to trashing computers and sprinkler boxes on five holes, three trees struck by lightning will have to be removed. No. 14 had a couple feet of standing water and a bunker was washed out.
Thanks to the efforts of the maintenance crew, Prairie Falls was able to open at 10 a.m. but the pro shop had no way of verifying who had made tee times. The staff did the best they could to get customers on the course. Hull estimated $2,500 in lost green fees and revenue that morning. The storm's total tab was roughly $75,000.
"Computers were our sole way of doing things," said Hull, mentioning watering schedules and taking tee times. "We had to learn how to do it old school with a blank sheet of paper and writing down names. Some of the younger ones on the staff had never seen a tee sheet."

Already, the storms of February 2010 have brought blizzard conditions to the Washington, D.C. metro area, New York City and many other Northeastern cities. Of course, these storms also brought big snow and cold to the Midwest. In fact, if you live practically anywhere east of the San Andreas Fault you are likely acutely aware of the deep freeze biting the nation.
In addition to record-breaking snowfall, temperatures in many areas of the country have been way below normal this winter, especially in the Midwest and East Coast, and unfortunately, according to the 2010 Farmers' Almanac, this winter will likely see many more days with below-normal average temperatures. Not just in the Midwest and East Coast, but for about three-quarters of the nation. The fallout from these cold temps is a constriction of outdoor activity, more time indoors, increased use of heaters, and when you have to go outside, the need to bundle up.
Fortunately, this year's cold spell isn't all bad. In fact, a grumpy Old Man Winter could actually bring warmth to investors savvy enough to take advantage of the extreme chill. And with this in mind, here are five cold weather stocks that might just heat up your portfolio.

Click above for a high-res gallery of the very first 1955 Ford Thunderbird
Do you like your birds rare? Though it's not quite on the endangered species list just yet, there's no doubt that any 1955 Ford Thunderbird is a desirable classic car, and none more so than this particular example, which just so happens to be the first T-Bird ever produced. Powered by its original 292 cubic-inch V8 engine and automatic transmission, this car was restored to completely original condition back in 1965 -- just 10 years after it was first built, and it's also the same car that underwent the first instrumented testing of the T-Bird in the October edition of Sports Illustrated magazine. According to the Ford Motor Company, which confirms the car's unique status, this is the most valuable Thunderbird in existence, and it earned a whopping $660,000 at this year's Barrett-Jackson Classic Car Auction in Scottsdale, AZ. See the car's official auction description after the break.

Has anyone else noticed that there are a lot fewer G-rated movies these days? Look at the family movies in theaters for the holiday season – all rated PG and up.
The next G movie due in theaters is "Gnomeo and Juliet" in February. Where are all the G-rated movies? Seems like it's because of the profits and popularity of all the 3D movies geared toward older kids. Some of the movies targeted toward tots (like spinoffs of the Disney Princess movies and Tinkerbell movies) go straight to DVD.
Parents, do you like bringing your little kids to the movies and are you missing G-rated films? Are PG-rated films, like Disney's new one, Tangled, okay for pre-schoolers in your book? Or do you mostly just watch movies at home these days because it's gotten expensive and chaotic to go to the theater with young kids?
Here's a great resource for family movies, by the way. Happy Holidays!

The "Sun Smart" message is slowly getting through - but the dangers of sunbeds continue to be ignored by young New Zealanders, according to new research by Southern Cross Health Society.
A survey of 1000 society members revealed that of 33 per cent of those aged 21-29 had used a sunbed in the past,27 per cent would consider using one again and 3 per cent were regular users.
Although 36 per cent of respondents in the 30-54 age group had used a sunbed in the past, only 14 per cent would consider doing so again.
Southern Cross Healthcare Group CEO Dr Ian McPherson said it appeared some young New Zealanders were either not aware of, or choosing to ignore, the dangers of sunbed use.
"The International Agency for Research on Cancer has calculated there is a 75 per cent increase in the risk of melanoma for those who first use sunbeds in their teens or twenties.
Melanoma is a highly aggressive cancer that can strike at any age."
The survey also found that young New Zealanders were also increasing their risk of skin cancer by allowing themselves to burn in the sun last year, 89 per cent of those aged 21-29, compared to 73 per cent of those aged 30-54, 49 per cent of those aged 55-64, and 27 per cent of those aged 65 and over.
Dr McPherson said though everyone knew excessive sun exposure was incredibly bad for skin, the survey indicated a tan remained desirable for the young and for females in particular.

VIDEO: The trailer for Ocean's Thirteen
Steven Soderbergh's third "Ocean" film — continuing a franchise that is already miles beyond and hundreds of millions of dollars ahead of the Rat Pack paradigm from which it's derived — is a pastry of a movie, airy, insubstantial, and meant to fill in the gaps between heartier meals. It could hardly be anything else; no one in 1960 needed to be told that the first Ocean's 11 was all about sharing hang time with Sinatra and the boys as they tippled, improvised dialogue, and cracked one another up. The new films have reincarnated this situation: Clooney and Soderbergh are mildly notorious for preferring to work with their ever-expanding circle of friends, and so the films play something like this wise-ass brotherhood's home movies, as the crew ironically act out the undemanding plots and in the meantime live their fantabulous lives. We can't all quaff prime Chianti with Clooney on his Lake Como veranda, so this is the tidbit of star-fuck frisson we get instead.
One could hardly be blamed for getting worked into a cynical corner by Ocean's Thirteen, which is pretty much like its brethren, minus Julia Roberts's microgram of dramatic fuel. But that doesn't mean, as summer movies go, that it isn't witty, or grown-up, or sly, or diverting. It is, but it's also absolutely disposable. This time, the original group clustered around Clooney's Danny Ocean (they don't seem to have lives otherwise, social or professional) become intent on pulling another massive, multi-pronged heist on another Vegas casino, solely because the owner (new villain Al Pacino) has goldbricked business partner Reuben (Elliott Gould), who subsequently suffers a heart attack. Soderbergh and his screenwriters would have us believe that Ocean's confederacy of thieves (Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Bernie Mac, Don Cheadle, et al.) are one-for-all blood brothers who would risk their lives and their freedom for the sake of big-biz revenge. What's more, they presume that we share the love in the room.
There are rewards: Casey Affleck's techie, on a mission to load dice at the Mexican factory in which they're manufactured, ends up leading a Zapatista workers' rebellion, and Clooney and Pitt share an adorable offhand scene tearily watching an episode of Oprah. These are detours, of course, and we never miss the bath bubble of a narrative when it's not floating around. When it is, the cataract of quick exposition and techno-yack can get numbing. (You wonder whether the plot line of Ocean's Twenty-Five won't take place entirely on a laptop.) Otherwise, the actors are offered only shtick, and since there are more of them this time (including Eddie Izzard's heist consultant and Ellen Barkin's casino dragon lady), the shtick time has shrunk in most cases to mere seconds.
You won't remember the movie as you step out onto the sidewalk — and in a year's time, I suspect, neither will the cast and crew. Heist movies have traditionally been about Greed and Fate, but Ocean's Thirteen isn't about anything at all, unless you regard the splendid time had by its cast as the subject matter. ("Settle down, have a few kids," Clooney joshes Pitt.) And unless sharing that splendid time from a distance seems to be entertainment enough.

Models and Data
CDA Highlights
CDA Testimony
The Center for Data Analysis (CDA) specializes generally in three core areas of research and simulation modeling: federal energy, environment, and climate economics; federal fiscal policy; and federal social policy. The CDA produces a large volume of independent policy research in each of these areas that is relied on by policymakers. CDA analysts are frequently asked to testify before Congress on their research and to score proposed legislation for Members of Congress and committees. A summary of the CDA's three core areas of focus follows.
Energy, Environment, and Climate Change Policy
CDA modeling of energy and climate economics is unique among think tanks in Washington. The Heritage Energy Model employs computer code that is virtually identical to that of the Energy Information Administration (EIA) National Energy Modeling System (NEMS). This allows us to replicate and confirm EIA studies and to extract granular output data that are not readily available from the EIA. In addition, we can estimate (and have estimated) the impacts of policies and policy variations in a way that the EIA either has not done or has not made public. Our estimates of the impacts of phasing out coal power (the "war on coal") and carbon taxes have been widely cited.
The CDA also has installed two of the three integrated assessment models (IAMs) employed by the Interagency Working Group on the Social Cost of Carbon (IWG). (The proprietor of the third IAM refuses to allow independent analysis of his model.) The social cost of carbon is a key factor in the benefit/cost analysis of energy and climate policies. Our analysis of the two available models uncovered several key items. Among them: The IWG incorrectly specified a set of variables used in the calculations of one of the models, and the calculated estimates of the social cost of carbon are profoundly susceptible to reasonable changes in assumptions. This simulation and modeling is led by Kevin Dayaratna, Ph.D., and David Kreutzer, Ph.D.
Fiscal Policy
The CDA analyzes the impact of federal spending and debt on the broader economy. Our conclusions are built on statistical analysis of aggregate data and the work of academic economists. Recent publications in this area include a review of the impact of debt on growth,, a Special Report on European austerity,, and an accompanying data compendium for use by other researchers. Additionally, the CDA has long been a champion of using dynamic analysis to "score" the impact of major policy changes on the federal budget. Our dynamic scoring work draws upon an integrated set of econometric models developed by the CDA and leading economic consulting companies and maintained by the CDA. This research is led by Salim Furth, Ph.D., Rachel Greszler, and John Ligon.
Social Policy
Our work in social policy first includes original research and analysis by CDA economists, using the Heritage Health Insurance Microsimulation model, studying the effects of federal health policy on U.S. health insurance markets. The CDA frequently uses this microsimulation model to score elements of federal health insurance and health care reform. Additionally, we will soon use a proprietary recursive model developed by the Anderson Economic Group to estimate the economic effects that uncertainty under the Affordable Care Act is having on U.S. firms.
This work is led by Drew Gonshorowski.
Second, our work in social policy includes research on federal labor policy. The CDA uses microdata to analyze changing labor market trends, such as why labor force participation fell during the Great Recession, how workweeks changed during that period, and whether federal employees enjoy premium wages This research has helped to shape the policy debate on Capitol Hill. Congress frequently calls upon CDA's labor market researchers to testify about the economic effects of proposed legislation. This research is led principally by James Sherk.
Third, our work in social policy includes research and analysis on the effectiveness of federal social programs. The CDA assesses the impact of social programs by conducting original evaluations and performing reviews of the scientific literature. This research has culminated in, for example, panel data analyses of Department of Justice and Department of Homeland Security grant programs and Dr. David B. Muhlhausen's book, Do Federal Social Programs Work? The influence of CDA's evaluation research is represented by the numerous times CDA expert testimony has been sought by congressional committees, including the House and Senate Committees on the Judiciary, Senate Committee on the Budget, and House Committee on Ways and Means. This research is led by David B. Muhlhausen, Ph.D.
The Heritage Foundation is the nation's most broadly supported public policy research institute, with hundreds of thousands of individual, foundation and corporate donors. Heritage, founded in February 1973, has a staff of 275 and an annual expense budget of $82.4 million.

text: I have been seeing on eBay, at a lot of 30 to 50 year old bows (made in the 50's thru 70's). Some of them look as if they were never used. What are the differences in performance in new bows, with fast flight string, and the vintage bows with B50 strings? Are there any real advantages to buying a new bow v.s. an older used bow?(assuming of course that the vintage bow is "like new", no stress cracks, straight limbs,etc.). I can buy the same model Bear 4 months old or 40 years old. Whats the difference? And since I,m looking for opinions, whats your favorite old bow that's not made any more, and whats your favorite currently produced bow. Thanks.

She's not going to sleep with either of them, unless she sleeps with both of them!
When two hot rodeo riders walk into Dallas O'Shea's bar, she can't help but notice them. Steer ropers Mack Carter and Ked Everett have set their sights on her, too, regardless of the fact that she's going to be mixing drinks until closing. Any other time, she would have jumped at the chance to rope herself a hot stud like Mack or Ked - what woman didn't like a pair of cowboy boots under her bed now and then?
When closing time comes around, both men are still there. She can't choose between the two cowboys, so she tells them she won't sleep with either of them, unless she sleeps with both of them. She doesn't think they'll take her up on the offer - they look like they'd rather shoot each other before bedding her together. But they surprise her by agreeing - on one condition. Afterward, Dallas has to honestly tell them who was better in bed. Two hunky cowboys, each motivated to please her like she's never been pleased before? How can a woman lose in a situation like this?
For Dallas, it's going to be a night like she's never had, and for Mack and Ked, the night ends with the cowboys getting a chance to demonstrate two of their greatest talents - roping and riding. Yeehaw!

Why, what ya doing, starting a rail road line there,,upgrayed ?
I've never been much of a fan of rails and some guns are just ridiculous with 4 rails running the complete length of the gun,,WFT FOR,,after all, honestly just how many things can you back to back on one rail, no less 4 ?? Gezzzz
I've only got 2 guns with rails and honestly I don't like either, and both are minimal length on the rails on both of mine. Rails belong on receivers, not fore arms IMO.
And as you say,, heavy as Hell besides when there aluminum railed forearms. One of my buds has a shotty that has more rail than you could shake a stick at , or could ever fill up with stuff. With just a light and a red dot and the forearm on the gun, it comes in at 13 1/2 lbs as opposed to the 7.5 pounds the shotgun was before he started adding all that crap?? And he's still thinking about adding,,, a forward vertical grip and laser and a rail mounted side saddle type shell holder, rail mounted sling point and who knows what else he'll think of later,,,,
I told him if he put on one more thing on ,,he'd better add a car dolly too, just to drag that frigging thing around with,,Good Lord It weights as much as a loaded Garrand already!!!
Now that I've abused ya upgreyed, how ya been ,,haven't seen you on for quite a bit ,,,,Oh Shit,,,maybe that's just why you haven't been on lately,,,abuse!!!
What is the rail going to be used for? Sights, lights??? If just for a light or something like that, just screw a small rail blank on a standard plastic forearm as needed and Bingo,,ya just shaved off 2-3 lbs. maybe more with some I've seen out there. This one on the shotgun goes almost to the end of a 20" barrel and must weigh 3 lbs or more,,and all for what purpose???? Plus IMO, it just looks weird.
