MANILA, Philippines - In this year's Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF), there will be three notable changes. This was announced by Atty. Francis N. Tolentino, Metro Manila Development Authority (MMDA) chairman who's also MMFF 2010 over-all chairman, during the recent press launch of the festival at Club Filipino.
First, the controversial commercial viability (box-office performance of the entries) criterion that decided heavily on the selection of the Best Picture in previous festivals has been removed. The criteria this time for the selection of Best Picture(s) are artistry, creativity and technical excellence, innovativeness, thematic value and global appeal (70 percent) and Filipino cultural and/or historical value (30 percent).
Second, this year's MMFF will give tribute to independent films with the showing of five carefully chosen indie films at SM Megamall a week before the actual MMFF played on Dec. 25. These films are ''Senior Year'' by Jerrold Tarog; ''Nasaan si Hefte'' by Jonnah Lim; ''Presa'' by Adolf Alix, Jr., ''Slow Fade'' by Rommel Sales; and ''Rindido'' by Noriel Jarito.
Chairman Tolentino said that this ''Tribute to the Indie Films-Philippine Premier'' intends to promote quality independent films and to encourage filmmakers with limited budget.
Third, the board of jurors will be expanded to include men and women from the masa, like housewives, drivers, students, teachers, etc. They will join the established MMFF jurors.
The eight official entries to MMFF 2010 are ''Si Agimat at si Enteng Kabisote'' (APT, Inc., GMA Films, Imus Productions, M-Zet TV Production, Inc. and OctoArts Films), ''Ang Tanging Ina Rin (Last na Ito),'' ABS-CBN Productions, Inc.; ''Dalaw'' (Cine Media/Star Cinema), ''Father Jejemon'' (RVQ Productions), ''Rosario'' (Cinemanila International), ''RPG'' (ABS-CBN Productions/Ambient Media); ''Shake, Rattle & Roll XII'' (Regal Entertainment), and ''Super Inday and the Golden Bibe'' (Regal Entertainment).
The MMFF 2010 Executive Committee is composed of: Atty. Francis N. Tolentino, over-all chairman; Mayor Herbert Bautista, co-chairman; Jesse M. Ejercito, executive chairman; Mark Meily, vice chairman; Atty. Emmanuel de Castro, executive director; Ms. Ludia Domingo, asst. executive director; Atty. Rochelle Macapili, OIC, MMDA Office of the GM; Wilson Y. Tieng, Boots Anson-Roa, Dominic Du, Leo Martinez, Manuel Nuqui, Marcus Ng, Roesholm Camaligan, Mary Grace Poe Llamanzares, Atty. Nomie E. Ilagan, Atty. Aristodes Ruaro, Atty. Crisanto Saruca, Atty. Ramon Remollo, Atty Yves, Gonzalez and Ed Lara, members.
The 2010 MMFF will run from Dec. 25, 2010 to Jan. 3, 2011. The Awards Night will be held on Dec. 26 at Meralco Theater.

I decided to try out doing a few things this month rather than focusing on one thing every day. Lately, I've been feeling stuck in the rut/daily grind of life. I get very easily set in my comfortable ways of eating, having fun and enjoying life but I forget that shaking things up can also be a good idea. So here are my ten "get out of the rut" goals for January:
–Find a new musical artist and listen to 5 songs
–Create one piece of jewelry or set of resin pendants
–Bake something tasty
–Go bowling with the kids
–Send a letter to someone
–Find one decoration for my office
–Go to a new restaurant
–Do one mixed media art project in art journal
–Finish The Red Book
–Set up the marble jar (I want to do a visual project that helps me remember that life is GOOD as often as it is hard. I know I'll never remember/stick to writing good memories down, so I plan to create a little jar where I drop a marble each time I feel good, experience a good thing or something positive happens. That way, I have a reminder I can see that life is pretty awesome and also sparkly.)]]>
To a friend.
The final love letters (after a slight delay lol) #30daysloveletters #30dayschallenge
A photo posted by Amelia (@deserthooker) on
And 3 more to Postcrossing.
I may actually continue my Postcrossing postcard adventures. I have received some really neat postcards in return, check it out:
I'm thinking I can use them in the next challenge I've decided to dive into which is: jewelry making.
I know I said I was going to try a yoga pose every day, but given the struggle I had with doing something every single day, I'm going to try an easier challenge. The plan is to make a piece of jewelry every day for 30 days (which allows for some binge sessions if I run out of time). I am going to start creating tomorrow, actually, at my very first jewelry class! 10 weeks of 3 hour sessions in a lab, I'm very excited. We'll see what happens.
The things I learned writing love letters were invaluable to me. Mostly, I learned how likely I am to withdraw when I feel bad. I didn't realize just how isolated I get when I'm not at my best. I also learned what I already suspected–everyone loves to get mail! I do, and my letter recipients all seemed to enjoy getting something in the mail as well. Writing a little card or note seems like an easy way to brighten someone else's day, at a relatively low cost. I also learned that there is a reason a 30 day challenge is a challenge–I found myself dragging through some of it. I'm glad to have arrived at a stopping place, ready to try something new!]]>
Here's another thing–I do struggle to do any one thing every damn day. My next challenge is going to be a yoga challenge I think, and that is not really one I can binge on every four days or so. I will really have to be disciplined. Yikes.
Anyway, the letters.
Day 22 #30daysloveletters #30dayschallenge A photo posted by Amelia (@deserthooker) on
OH! So the way Postcrossing works is that if you send a few postcards out, you start to get them back! I didn't send out for the purpose of receiving cards, but I did get one in the mail today from a nice fellow in Germany. How cool is that?
Day 24 for my oldest child #30daysloveletters #30dayschallenge A photo posted by Amelia (@deserthooker) on
Day 26. 4 more to go!! #30daysloveletters #30dayschallenge A photo posted by Amelia (@deserthooker) on
Really looking forward to being done with this challenge. Far more nervous about the next one now that I know how challenging a 30 day challenge can be!
I managed to write exactly one love letter last week, this one. It is still in my purse waiting to be left somewhere. Then, I wound up in the ER (all is well) and my game got completely knocked off.
So, I've learned a thing I sort of knew: when I'm depressed, down, stressing, emotional or otherwise not great, I withdraw. I disappear into myself. I found the idea of writing a postcard to a stranger too stressful for an entire 7 days! You don't even have to say anything on these cards really, just a quick hello from you to a person in Germany or whatever. Wtf? I am really glad I'm doing this challenge.
I can see how easily I retreat into my own introverted self, and just how great a challenge it is for me to maintain social presence. Knowing this makes it easier to feel less shame and focus on the doing. Much of my feeling of isolation probably sources from my own tendency to withdraw. Huh. In any case, today was a good day so I slammed out the seven letters I owed the world in one go.
7 love letters for last week! 4 for postcrossing, 1 for the website and 2 for the wild #30daysloveletters #30dayschallenge A photo posted by Amelia (@deserthooker) on
10 days left to go! I'm pretty pleased with the things I'm learning through this challenge, and I confess I'll be glad when it's over. This is much harder than I expected!]]>
Number 6:
I started sending love-filled postcards through Postcrossing, a website that helps you send and receive poscards all over the world!
Number 7:
For my youngest child #30daysloveletters #30dayschallenge A photo posted by Amelia (@deserthooker) on
Number 8:
In case you're curious, it costs $1.15 to send an overseas postcard.
Number 9:
And today's to be left in the wild. #30daysloveletters #30dayschallenge A photo posted by Amelia (@deserthooker) on
This one had one of my favorite quotes, Teddy Roosevelt on daring greatly. I've been enjoying finding quotes and heartfelt things to say to people I don't know.
Number 10:
To a real life meatspace friend who I wish lived a heck of a lot closer.
Number 11:
Catching up on love letters from the weekend! Saturday #30daysloveletters #30dayschallenge
A photo posted by Amelia (@deserthooker) on
To someone who's face I've never seen in person, but who is an important part of my life nonetheless.
Number 12:
Belarus! I wonder what it is like there. I find these little postcards most challenging because I don't want to get too wordy. I have a wordy tendency about me.
In all honesty, I'm feeling the challenge. It is more difficult than I realized to put loving energy into a letter. It makes me feel very vulnerable, almost like I might get hurt somehow! Even to strangers I'm hesitant to be "too loving." I feel awkward and uncomfortable as I write them. I have no idea why. I also had no idea how guarded I can really be. Discomfort with the project must mean it's working, eh?]]>
On day 2, I had a friend leave the letter somewhere random.
Day 3, to an online group sending letters out. #30daysloveletters #30dayschallenge A photo posted by Amelia (@deserthooker) on
On day 3, I mailed a letter to Love for the Elderly (please note: I do not know much about these organizations, I'm using the "it gets where it needs to go" plan rather than doing a ton of research. Since they are letters, not money, I feel okay about that.)
Day 4: Wrote an analog love letter to all my digital loves!
Today, one for my life's great love. (By request lol) #ewcheesy #30daysloveletters #30dayschallenge A photo posted by Amelia (@deserthooker) on
Day 5: The most obvious, a love letter to my husband (who, when I asked where my love letter of the day should go, pointed emphatically at himself :D)]]>
She created a website dedicated to writing love letters, for people you know and people you don't. They collect nominations for people who are in need of an extra boost–nothing fancy, nothing but a few words of encouragement from someone out there.
I've been entranced by the idea of writing love letters to strangers–just leaving them out for someone to find. It could end up in the garbage, or the bottom of a purse, or it could just say the right thing at the right time totally on accident. I love this idea. It seems like the kind of magic I believe in.
So for these first 30 days I'm going write love letters. I think I'll write them to all kinds of people but I don't really have a plan. I just want to do it and see what happens. My first will go to someone on the More Love Letters website, as a thank you and in the hopes she finds it somehow useful.
On vacation in a hotel room, I watched the movie Wild. Based on a true story, the movie and the book before it are about a woman who decides to hike the Pacific Crest Trail. While the story itself was interesting (if totally anticlimactic, petering out toward the end in the most annoying way), what really fascinated me was the concept of doing something so impossibly hard. At the same, a friend of mine went on a three day solo hike through some desert country to sit in some hot springs. She just trekked out into the world, fearless.
People do things I cannot begin to fathom. Hiking thousands of miles alone in the deep wilderness, climbing huge mountains, bench pressing their body weight. I decided wanted to try some audacious things. My brain started to churn away at ideas.
I would love to try a hike like that, but I don't think I can. My body is not equipped for extreme physical challenges. I have a bevvy of physical concerns from asthma to severe tendonitis to sciatica and more. I have a tendency to fall down frequently. Putting me on a hiking trail is not a great idea (at least, not right now). I do lift weights, and make steady progress all the time, but I couldn't push weight equal to my body weight without risking severe injury.
So discouraged, I tried to think of other challenges I could do without breaking my everything. I've settled on a series of 30 day challenges. Do something new/different/difficult for 30 days. It isn't the "hike insane miles" type challenge, but it's something that may lead me to bigger, bolder challenges in the future. Besides, I can do pretty much anything for 30 days.
Recently, I gave up fried food for Lent. I'm not religious, but I thought the practice in discipline might provide some insight into myself. I learned that, barring one slip up, I can adhere to a plan of deprivation as long as I know there's an end to it. In the past, I've written several 50,000 word novels in 30 days. I know that I can adhere to a plan of creation as well. This TED talk on 30 day challenges sealed my plans.
So here we go–30 days, one challenge. Let's see what happens. First up, 30 days of love letters.

Thanks for taking the time to help improve Runeapps. I will try to reply to every post as soon as possible.
I'm unable to install the Alet1 toolkit. After downloading from the web installer, it attempt to launch Runeapps.alt1 and gives a generic Windows "application has stopped working" message. I'm on Windows 8 x64 and .net 4.0 already comes loaded with the OS. I've tried running as admin, clearing temp directory, and can't get past this point.
I've also tried another machine, Macbook Air mid 2010 boot camped in Windows 7 Ultimate x64 with the same issue. Any ideas?
I can't test it but i remember a similar issue when the c++ redistributable isn't present. You can install it here http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download … x?id=30679.
Please tell me if it works, i'll update the app in that case.

I'm having the same issue too. Just found out about this today and wanted to try it out.

Im having a issue with it not finding my runescape client.
https://i.gyazo.com/6b652bda4cc98933220 … 339ebd.jpg
when I try to install alt 1 with Runescape NXT, I get an "Installation Failed" message. The following is where the message is located.
The message reads as follows
There was an error while loading the application.
Check the setup log for more information and
contact the author.
When I check the setup log the page is filled with programmer info that is really beyond me to even try to read.
Please help, I need my alt 1.
Thank You
using the nxt client, loading clue solver doesn't detect any type of clue when 'read' on screen?
Are you using the latest version of Alt1 (1.3.2)? You can see this under settings>other.
The "capture" tab in the settings might have a clue of what's going wrong. The nxt client requires OpenGL capture mode on most computers.
Failed to find puzzle and on NXT openGL
I can't confirm this with just this image, but this is usually caused by having post processing anti-aliasing blurring enabled in your graphics card settings. If that's the case you can fix it by settings FXAA to "let application decide" in the nvidia control panel. More info in this thread http://runeapps.org/forums/viewtopic.php?id=294
Whenever I run Alt1 with NXT my rs client will just freeze but cursors etc will change, it makes alt1 unusable for me.
I download the alt1 app then run the install and it says successfully installed and then these 2 messages show up.
Let me know what I can do to solve these issues. I have windows 10.
I haven't seen that before. I don't think the file is used when you have the newest .NET framework (4.7) installed and visual c++ redistributable 2015. Some of these should already be installed on windows 10.
trying to use alt one but its givng me the wrong directions on the slide puzzle like it says go up when everyting is all the way up or go right when I'm as faR RIGHT as I can go

Where I stayed
Alex and Jane's
Talk about a traditional English country experience - they live in a thatched cottage in a little village in the country side. Woke up in the morning to the view of a great spotted woodpecker, a cute little robin, and a black squirrel. Oh, and then I got stung by nettles - very Enid Blyton of me. Went for a little (muddy) ramble down to the local church and back with Leslie, then we set off on our adventure to Stonehenge.
After a pub lunch of Stilton cheese and Wiltshire ham sandwiches, we drove to a big pile of rocks that some people had chucked in a Salisbury meadow 5000 years ago
I took lots of notes that I won't bore you with here, but the basic thing I got out of the tour is that they have no fricken idea why the stones were put there at all. There's lots of theories about its use as a calendar, an astrological compass of a sort, a religious/spiritual worshipping point or even just to impress/intimidate people who came to their land. But no-one knows. It's very impressive though, particularly around the back where most of the stones are still in situ.
Stayed with Steve's brother Alex and his wife Jane in a town outside of Bath, and drank Pimms on the lawn in the sunshine. The weather is absolutely fantastic here - the sun is shining and the temperature is warm (not hot). Touch wood it stays that way.
The next morning, after sampling the many delights of English food - elderflower cream and gooseberries - we got on our way to Bath. The Therme baths have just opened there recently, and Lesley and I wanted the full experience
Bath, as a town, is absolutely gorgeous, particularly when the sun is shining. The Abbey is massive and all the buildings are made of beautiful stone. You can easily imagine Jane Austen strolling along the laneways on her way to find a suitable bonnet for the next ball she would be attending.
Met up with Stuart and Miele, which was really great but it felt so strange in this context, meeting halfway around the world. After a bit (a lot) of cider and beer, we jumped on a tourist bus to see the sights of Bath from the comfort of a double decker. It made me laugh to hear that when Queen Victoria was a young woman (she was Princess at the time), she came to Bath to ceremoniosly open up a garden. But after she had left, a journalist made a snide comment about her 'dowdy' dress sense. So she refused to return to the place for the rest of her life, and even when she was travelling through to get to Bristol, she made her servants close the curtains of her carriage, so she didn't have to see the horrible place. Smack down!
Speaking of Bristol, we went last night for a delicious Indian thali, perhaps the best and most authentic tasting Indian I've ever had. Walked around the town and I fell in love. We stumbled upon a cute little hippie music festival, tucked away through a tunnel, and the vibe was so cool
Off to Wales today for a Sunday lunch at Faith's house, then onto the Welsh coastline tomorrow.

Keep up with the conditions
Steamboat Springs The storm system expected to leave as many as 18 inches of snow to the Sierra Nevada mountains Monday is forecast to bring the next chance of moisture and possible wintry weather to Steamboat Springs by Tuesday. Mild daytime temperatures and rain showers will then give way to a chance of snow Wednesday night, according to the National Weather Service in Grand Junction.
Tuesday's high temperature is expected to be 60 degrees, but Wednesday won't get out of the mid-50s, and the overnight lows Wednesday into Thursday will dip to the mid-20s with a 40 percent chance of rain mixed with snow.
The cold is forecast to settle in Thursday, when the high will reach only 41 degrees. There is a 40 percent chance of snow Thursday.
The National Weather Service expects a series of shortwaves from the main storm to flow toward northern Utah and the southwest corner of Wyoming early this week with each wave dipping farther south and increasing in strength as the storm track moves toward Northwest Colorado.

Obama: Greedy doctors are coming after your tonsils or something
posted at 10:06 pm on July 22, 2009 by Allahpundit
Gee, I'm really sorry I decided to skip this for "Ghost Hunters." Watching The One explain how the medical industry has designs on your body parts would have been much better in hindsight. To think: The day is coming when instead of forcing you to take unnecessary tests, doctors will force you not to take necessary ones because they no longer have the resources to process them. Take that, profit motive.
This is what happens when you take health advice from a guy with a lifelong smoking habit. Exit question: Any truth to the rumor that Obama's going to impose a new surtax on fatties? "But let me be clear: The time has come to put away the fudge."

We Honor St. Francis of Assisi
by Mary McEntee McGill
In the tradition of our Catholic faith, the end of October draws our attention to the solemnity of All Saints (November 1) and the Commemoration of All the Faithful Departed (November 2).
In the tradition of our Catholic faith, the end of October draws our attention to the solemnity of All Saints (November 1) and the Commemoration of All the Faithful Departed (November 2). We celebrate these saints and souls who loved and worked to serve the Lord. Honoring the saints is a treasured tradition within our Catholic teachings. We recognize that Christ our Lord has given us the gift of eternal life, and we take the time to remember those who have received this gift. We remember the talents and wisdom that these men, women, and children shared with us: their love, their work, their expressions of faith, and the witness they provided that inspires us to follow their examples of faith.
On October 4 we celebrate one of my very favorite saints: St. Francis of Assisi. Francis was a lover of creation—especially animals. From him we learn one of the most important things that we, in turn, teach our students, children, and, grandchildren: All creation is a beautiful gift from God. People, animals, and all of nature are powerful and exciting gifts from the Lord and all creation deserves great care and respect. Francis of Assisi is a wonderful model of that care and respect.
This fall, consider marking St. Francis' feast day in a special way with your group of learners. Recognize your own call to be strong protectors of all God's creation.
: Saint Francis of Assisi came from a wealthy family. As a young man, however, he recognized God's call for us to care for one another. Francis chose to leave his wealth and live as simply as the birds of the sky who do not sow or reap—yet the heavenly Father feeds them (Matthew 6:26). Francis saw all creation—people, animals, even the stars of the sky—as his brothers and sisters sharing in God's blessed world.
: Genesis 1:20-25 (creation)
:: Let's now consider the creation God gave to you and called you to take care of. Francis of Assisi gives us a fine example of following God's guidance in loving all creation.
Do you have petitions that you would like to present to St. Francis to ask for his assistance? (
Allow time for your group to share.
Let us pray: Saint Francis, gentle man and servant of God, you have taught us to be caring of all creation. Help us to love and respect all life around us. Be with us as we seek God's blessing today.
We ask you, Lord, to bless all animals that are wild and free. Bless the birds and the fish, the rabbits and the deer, the lions and other beasts—big and small.
Lord, bless our pets. Bless the dogs and the cats and the birds and the reptiles. Bless our hamsters and guinea pigs, our fish and our turtles—all our pets.
Bless all the working animals. Bless dogs that work with those who live with limitations. Bless police dogs, the horses that police officers ride, and those creatures who haul heavy loads.
And bless all the wonderful animals in our zoos, our aquariums and museums.
We ask, Lord, that you help us to be like St. Francis, always seeking the blessing for our animal sisters and brothers.
We ask your blessing also on our sister/brother (
name your own pets
) and we ask you to help us to treat all your creation with love and respect.
: Amen.
Additional ideas
: Consider things you can do to show care for creation and animals. Put a birdbath in your yard and keep it nice for birds. Put out old pieces of bread by a lake or creek to feed ducks. Make a chain of Cheerios
or popcorn and put it on a tree for the birds. Pet and brush your dog/cat and play with him/her.

Wanted man captured in Jonesborough
WASHINGTON COUNTY, Tenn. - Washington County, Tennessee deputies arrested a man wanted for rape and abduction out of Norfolk, Virginia.
Sheriff's deputies say they were told Michael Robert Mitchem was on his way to a house on Tavern Hill Road in Jonesborough. Deputies arrested him as the car pulled into the driveway.
We're told he was armed with a .45 caliber handgun.
They also arrested the car's driver, Heather Nicole Stane, for driving on a suspended license.
Mitchem is being held as a fugitive from justice.
We are checking with authorities in Norfolk to learn more about the charges he faces there.

In junior high school I read The Pigman, a coming-of-age story about two kids who encounter tragedy that hurls them into adulthood. I often wondered when I would meet The Pigman myself and have to grow up. It didn't take long.

text: twitterfacebookemailprint PUBLISHED 12:32 15 February 2012 By James Brown The Cheltenham Town Centre of Excellence has become an integral part of the football club's growth both on and off the field.The club founded the Centre of Excellence back in 1999 after promotion to the Football League and the youth system has gone from strength to strength ever since.The main aims of the Centre of Excellence was to offer opportunities to young footballers from all across Gloucestershire and develop players good enough to compete at Football League level with the Robins. Players such as Michael Duff, Shane Duff and Dave Bird have gone on to become a major success here at Whaddon Road and it is the hope of the club that many more youngsters can pull on the Cheltenham Town shirt over the coming years.Mission StatementThrough a structured programme of technical and holistic development we aim to provide the best opportunities for locally based players in and around Gloucestershire to learn and develop in a safe and guided environment. Our central objective is for individuals to ultimately progress into professional football.Our Core AimFor a player to be successful at any level he must be given the right environment in which to perform.

July 2nd-3rd is the Blue Mountains Antique Fair in Blackheath, so maybe that will be my chance!
(its at the Blackheath Community Hall, Great Western Hway 10am-4pm).
I finally watched 'Some Like it Hot', with Cowboy the other day - how does Marilyn's dress stay up?! (or, how does her chest stay put?)
Its gravity defying. I think I spent most of the movie looking at the fashions and not paying much attention to the story line.
Anyway, I loved the flapper-thirties finger waves some of the girls wore, so here's my first attempt at finger waves for a short haired grrl.
|Crumpled, on the way to work.
Hairclip - Mimco.
I really need to invest in some pin curl clips, as I just bobby pinned them last night and the back didnt survive. ReVamp Vintage has great instructions on how to fingerwave, as well as authentic hairstyling from 1910- 1940 if you want some good instructions.
The tricky thing was trying to remember which way i'm supposed to wave the hair, I think I did it wrong but its OK for work today. (I try out my hair experiments at work, because no-one really sees me).

After having my daughter 4 years ago, it left me with a "bib"-- excess skin or belly that hangs down. I also have an umbilical hernia. I was wondering if the excess heavy flab of my belly has any affect on the hernia, and if insurance would cover having that removed when I get my hernia fixed? Thank you for your time.
Does Excess Belly Flab Have Any Effect on Hernia?
Doctor Answers 6
Excess belly skin or fat and umbilical hernia
Thanks for the question. It is unlikely that the excess soft tissue in your outer abdomen is having an clinical effects on your umbilical hernia. Having the hernia repaired under insurance coverage is clearly an option, although I doubt you will have any success getting the cosmetic aspect of the abdomen compensated, regardless of the type of procedure which your particular case may require.
I would start by visiting your plastic surgeon for a thorough evaluation, as he/she may be able to address both the hernia repair and cosmetic aspects in one surgery.
Best of luck !
Tummy tuck
No, the belly fat will not effect the hernia or the repair. An abdominoplasty will tighhten the abdominal muscles as well as remove the excess abdominal fat. Insurance companies may, or may not, approve the abdominoplasty.
Obesity Will Negatively Affect Abdominal Hernias
I agree with the docs...I don't think the excess overhanging skin will have much of an effect on the hernia, but if you are overweight, the increased pressure of the abdominal fat will make repairing a hernia harder and make the recurrence rate higher.

Excess belly fat and hernia
It is unlikely that the excess flab will affect the umbilical hernia. An umbilical hernia can be repaired at the same time as the excess skin removal during a tummy tuck. I doubt if your excess skin will be covered by your insurance. Your hernia repair is usually (but not always) covered by insurance.
Tummy tuck, hernia
Insurance may cover the repair of your umbilical hernia, which could be performed at the same time as your tummy tuck. The cosmetic portion (tummy tuck) however, will not be covered by your insurance. This varies depending on your particular insurance carrier and I recommend you check with them and a board certified plastic surgeon to get "preauthorized" prior to any procedures.
If your excess skin/tissue is hanging low enough, to or lower than the upper portion of the pubic/vaginal area, then insurance may infact deem your condition as reconstructive and possible cover the procedure. Your plastic surgeon would have to submit photos along with a letter of medical necessity to get you approved.
"Belly Flab" after kids
To answer your questions:
1. the excess skin in the abdomen, "flab of belly" as you call it, has no effect on the umbilical hernia. What may contribute to the hernia is the amount of fat inside your abdominal cavity or intra-abdominal fat as it may put pressure against the weakening/opening in the abdominal wall which is the hernia itself.
2. In most cases, insurance would cover the hernia repair, but not the removal of excess abdominal skin (tummy tuck or mini-tuck, whatever your MD recommends). Of course, any insurance question is best dealt with the insurance company itself or your specific doctor's office.
Having excess skin after pregnancy is not uncommon, with the process itself a natural expansion of the abdominal area and skin. When patients come in to be evaluated, I look at the amount of skin laxity (above and/or below the belly button), the amount of muscle-fasica laxity and the amount of fat deposits - localized or circumferential. Most will come in with a combination of excess skin and fat and in most, a combination of some kind of liposuction and tumy tuck or mini-tuck might be the best option. Hope this helps.

More Like April Is the Coolest Month
Slowly but surely you can set up a series of hamster tubes for your children to crawl through.
But never mind all that, because it's Spring! And in your area, your child is going to want things to do and enjoy that don't involve sitting at a desk doing homework. And anyway, they'll be doing enough sitting during the summer, when all they want is AC and video games.
So take advantage of the season and get your child a few cool things they can wear or use or throw across the lawn and they'll be able to get that activity they so desperately need. And you'll be able to get the rest you so desperately need. Remember: if you're sitting near the window where you can hear them, legally, you're still an excellent parent.

Simple IP Config is a tiny portable tool which makes it easy to change various network settings: your IP address, subnet mask, gateway and DNS servers.
You can do this from Windows, of course, but it's not exactly straightforward. In Windows 7, for instance, you might go to Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network and Sharing Centre > Change Adapter settings, before right-clicking your adapter, selecting Properties, selecting TCP/IPv4, and clicking Properties.
With Simple IP Config, though, you just run the program. It automatically displayed the details for our main internet connection. And if we wanted to, say, specify a couple of DNS servers, then it's simply a matter of typing their IP addresses into the relevant box. There are no tabs, no menu options, no ways to hide settings elsewhere: everything you need is on the same screen.
If you're still having problems connecting across your network then options to disable the (Windows) firewall, release and renew your IP address may also help.
And if for some reason you need to keep changing any of these settings, then Simple IP Config can be minimised to your system tray for easy access later.
Version 2.3 brings:
- New Additions:
- Advanced Mode
- Disable a network adapter
- Disable Windows Firewall
- Options Menu
- Auto-set Gateway to typical values
- Auto-set DNS server to typical values
- Additions to Current Information box:
- Alternate DNS Server
- Adapter State
- Much improved file handling
- Significant improvements to stability
The Simple IP Config interface has a few oddities, but you'll quickly figure out how everything works, and it's certainly easier to use than burrowing deep into your TCP/IP settings.

Jeep TJ Wrangler - Lift Kit - Long & LowPosted in Vehicle Reviews on November 10, 2004 Comment (0)
As great as the Jeep TJ performs in stock form, it can always be made better with some trick aftermarket suspension pieces. Increases in travel, control, and comfort can easily be had, but generally at the expense of raising the center of gravity. While suspension kits for the TJ aren't new, this LCG kit from Teraflex is worth the wait.
The term LCG stands for low center of gravity, and the concept is to increase the performance of the TJ's suspension while not raising the vehicle as much as previous designs. The kit consists of much longer control arms in addition to new coils and shocks, and the associated brackets that need to be welded on. While this isn't a backyard install, the final product is well worth it in terms of travel, control, and ride.
We tagged along as Mark Falkner of Teraflex installed one of the first prototype kits on a TJ at the Off Road Warehouse in San Diego, and then we went and wheeled the wee out of it. Although we encountered a few glitches on this early prototype kit, we went back and watched Rand Ridges of Teraflex install the production model. We like being on the cutting edge of the industry, which is why we checked out Tera's LCG long before regular production was begun. Check out how the install went, and look forward to more innovative products from guys who drive and wheel their own products, not just make them and sell them.

Carly began her flight and recall training in June 2006 at age 1.5 yrs when she had just a few flight feathers. She had been clipped at a store as a baby, and never fledged. We spent 9-10 months working on learning flight skills and doing recall training indoors. During this time we continued to take excursions outside all the time, with Carly on a harness. In May 2007 she took her first outdoor free flights, and capped it all with a trip to Wyoming for the 2007 Fly Week. She still had a lot of work to do, so we spent a lot of time practicing in the park -- recalls, flying down from heights, getting out of trees, braking from a full speed flight. By November her skills had gotten so good she was diving, screaming, doing straight vertical drops from 30 feet up and generally having a blast!

Daniel Owen Woolgar Jarvis MBE (born 30 November 1972) is a British Labour Party politician and former British Army Major. From 1997 to 2011, he served in the Parachute Regiment of the British Army, before being elected as the Member of Parliament (MP) for Barnsley Central in a by-election.
Early life[edit]
Jarvis was born on 30 November 1972[1] in Nottingham, the son of a lecturer at a teacher-training college and a probation officer, both Labour Party members.[2] He attended Lady Bay Primary School and then went on to study at Rushcliffe School.
He and his brother Rob Jarvis are fans of Nottingham Forest, with both as children failing to gain tickets in the ballot for the 1989 F.A. Cup semi-final between Forest and Liverpool at which the Hillsborough disaster took place.[3]
He studied international politics at Aberystwyth University.[4] He graduated in 1996 with a Bachelor of Science degree in International Politics and Strategic Studies.[5] He graduated with an MA in Conflict, Security & Development from King's College London in 2011.
Military career: 1994–2011[edit]
Jarvis attended the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst as an officer cadet. On 9 August 1997, he was given a short service commission into the Parachute Regiment as a second lieutenant with seniority from 9 July 1994. On the same day he was promoted to lieutenant with seniority from 9 July 1996.[6] He then joined the 1st Battalion, Parachute Regiment. On 4 October 2000, he transferred to an intermediate regular commission. At the time he was an acting captain.[7] He was promoted to captain on 10 October 2001.[8]
Having attended the Intermediate Command and Staff Course at the Joint Services Command and Staff College, he was promoted to major on 31 July 2003.[9] He transferred to a regular commission on 9 February 2004.[10] In the later part of his army career he was stationed at HQ Land Forces in Wilton, and lived in Salisbury.[11]
During his time in the Parachute Regiment, Jarvis was a platoon commander with 3 Para in Kosovo in 1999, and was with General Sir Mike Jackson during the Pristina Airport incident when Jackson refused the suggestion of his American NATO superior to confront Russian forces. Jarvis later described Jackson's comment to Wesley Clark that he was "not going to start World War Three for you" as a "very surreal moment in my life". Jarvis then served as Jackson's personal staff officer. In 2000 he was deployed to Sierra Leone in the aftermath of Operation Barras to help the Army learn the lessons of the kidnap of a group of troops by an armed rebel group.[4]
Jarvis served in Iraq during Operation Telic and in Afghanistan during Operation Herrick.[12] He was deployed to Afghanistan twice, first as a member of the team making the first reconnaissance trips to Helmand Province in 2005 to 2006 in preparation for a decision on whether to commit British troops there. The second deployment was a six-month tour as a company commander with the Special Forces Support Group, leading a company of 100 troops.[4] He was also deployed to Northern Ireland.[13]
He resigned his commission on 3 March 2011.[14] In the 2011 Queen's Birthday Honours, he was made a Member of the Order of the British Empire (Military division).[15]
Political career: 2011-Present[edit]
Although his military service had precluded political activity, Jarvis had joined the Labour Party at the age of 18[16] while at university.[17] Shortly before the 2010 general election, Jarvis was shortlisted for the Labour Party selection in the South Wales seat of Islwyn.[18] He picked up support from one local would-be candidate who had not made the shortlist,[19] but he was not selected.
Jarvis was selected as the Labour candidate for Barnsley Central on 27 January 2011 following the resignation of Eric Illsley, who stood down after being convicted of fraud for his part in the United Kingdom parliamentary expenses scandal. An eliminating ballot was held and at the penultimate stage Jarvis was tied with local councillor Linda Burgess, each several votes behind Richard Burgon. London Regional Director, Ken Clark, put two pieces of paper into Press Officer Phil Dilks's hat. One that said "Loser" and one that said "Winner" and Burgess went first picking out the paper that said "loser", and Jarvis won; in the final stage he picked up most of Burgess' votes to win selection.[1] He became the first Labour candidate for the Barnsley Central seat since 1938 who was not born in Yorkshire.[20]
On his selection he resigned his commission to stand in the by-election,[4] and gave his campaign the codename 'Operation Honey Badger', referring to a famously fierce animal and signifying his determination to fight for the people of Barnsley.[16] Jarvis found that his Nottingham origins put off some Barnsley voters who remembered the fact that Nottinghamshire miners did not join the 1984–85 miners' strike, although he had been 12 at the time.[17] He was elected with a 60.8% share of the vote on a turnout of 36.5% in the by-election held on 3 March 2011.[21]
During his maiden speech on the 2011 budget, Jarvis called for a change in economic policy including "a plan to get jobs and to help families feeling the squeeze". He also referred to Parachute Regiment colleagues who had been killed in action and argued that the UK and US should put forward reconciliation in Afghanistan.[22] He joined the Business, Innovation and Skills Select Committee on 21 March.[23] Jarvis spoke in a debate about NHS reforms in May 2011, paying emotional tribute to the doctors and nurses who cared for his wife, who had died the previous year, and feared an "ideological free-market agenda" which he said would undermine "all that is great about the NHS".[24]
In October 2011, Jarvis was appointed Shadow Arts and Culture Minister, part of the Shadow Culture, Media and Sport team led by Harriet Harman, moving to become Shadow Youth Justice and Victims Minister in Labour leader Ed Miliband's October 2013 shadow cabinet reshuffle.
Following the Labour Party's defeat in the 2015 general election, and the resignation of Ed Miliband, media speculation about candidates for the party's leadership election included Dan Jarvis alongside several other MPs.[25] However, he quickly announced that he was not going to run, saying that he needed to put his young family first; he had recently remarried after losing his first wife to cancer.[26]
For the Labour Party (UK) leadership election, 2015 Jarvis endorsed and supported Andy Burnham.
Dan Jarvis voted along with 66 other Labour MPs for military action in Syria against ISIL in December 2015 arguing that the decision was "finely balanced" but that he did not believe the UK could pursue existing operations against ISIS without being able to attack ISIS' command centres on the other side of the Syrian border.[27][28] He had previously opposed military action against the Assad regime in Syria in 2013.[29]
For the Labour Party (UK) leadership election, 2016 Jarvis endorsed and supported Owen Smith challenge to party leader Jeremy Corbyn.
Personal life[edit]
Jarvis met his first wife Caroline in 2000 when she was working as a personal chef for the family of General Sir Mike Jackson. Their first child was born in 2003, three days before Jarvis was deployed to Iraq; a second child was born in 2005. Caroline Jarvis was diagnosed with bowel cancer in 2006 and died in July 2010 at the age of 43.[2][17] Jarvis married a freelance graphic designer in 2013 and the couple had a child in 2015.[2]

Logging over 45,000 total minutes in his NBA career, 53,000 if you include the playoffs, Lakers guard Kobe Bryant has a lot of tread on his tires. Currently in his 17th NBA season, Kobe has been the mark of consistency as his per game production has yet to noticeably dip this late into his career. But, with only one more year left on his current contract and already 34 years old, wondering how much longer Kobe has left is a viable concern. Bryant made it clear awhile back that he will only play as long as he is at an elite level and his health permits it. But these comments to NBA.com make it pretty clear that as of now, the Black Mamba is done after next season. "We'll talk," Bryant said after piling up 19 points, 14 assists against one turnover and nine rebounds while playing all but 23 seconds of the 103-98 victory over the Kings at Sleep Train Arena. "I'll talk to my family and stuff and really see if I want to continue to sacrifice as much as I'm sacrificing right now. I'm putting my body through a lot to just try to get ready to play every single night. To do what I'm doing right now, it's not easy. I'll tell you, it's taken a lot of commitment." Is your sense that next season will be your last? "As I sit here right now, yeah." Is there anything the Lakers can say that would make it more likely you played beyond next season? "No," Bryant told NBA.com. "It's my decision. It's really about what I want to do, if I want to train and be psychotic with my training. That's what it comes down to. It's really how I'm feeling physically." If there is one thing that I honestly believe that Kobe is aware of is his place in history. I think it would be foolish to think that capturing his 6th title and matching Michael Jordan is not a huge motivating factor. And to his credit, I believe that he will only stick around as long as he believes he has a shot at that title. Even as he passed Wilt Chamberlain for fourth on the all-time scoring list, Kobe's response when asked about the achievement should tell you everything he cares about. "I just want No. 6, man."

An Ode to Ingenuity 02.12.09: They Don't Make Them Like They Used Too
I feel almost as though I'm stepping out of my comfort zone. Pessimism a garment fondly worn by myself and most Brits, and it keeps us toasty. Not only does arm us sense of humour as dry as chamois leather, but it ensures that we're never disappointed when things ultimately go to pot. As such, writing an article which lavishes naught but praise on the modern game developer for providing us with varied and unique game concepts is a little difficult for me. I feel like a socially repressed teenage struggling to express themselves with a myriad of angst-ridden poems, usually about dying butterflies. Anyway, enough talk about me, and onto the main attraction.
Ladies and gentlemen, I've selected a choice few games I'd like to bring to your attention, which over the last few years have dazzled, amazed and have occasionally made me 'woop' with joy (a rare occurrence indeed). They come from an array of developers, in a range of styles, and I heartily recommend you check each of them out. Some titles you may well know, some you may not. I just hope you'll join with me in saluting their ingenuity! So without any further ado:
At a Glance:
Genre: First Person Puzzle
Developer: Valve
Platform: PC, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3
Portal descended in the fall of 2007 from Valve HQ as part of the award winning, happily received Orange Box collection. Now the proud owner of a mantelpiece whimpering under the weight of a host of prestigious awards, Portal has been described as quirky, intelligent, and possessing a sense of humour so dark it's conceivable that Bill Murray himself was involved in the script writing process.
So what it is about this game that's so ingenious? I'd respond that it probably has something to do with the aforementioned wit, intelligence and dark humour!
Portal is a clever puzzle game which forces the player to think hard about how to answer the games challenges. The puzzles are played from a first person perspective, and are solved almost entirely with the aid of an inter-dimensional portal gun (hence the name), capable of opening portals from point A to point B. While this dimensional pondering makes for an outstanding puzzle game, Portal really goes above and beyond this by introducing a charming little story, in which the player goes head to processor with an AI named GLaDOS.
While being a short game by all accounts, Portal is delicious simply because of its unique puzzling elements, finely spiced with a gripping and hilarious story. Play it for the song which plays over the credits.
At a Glance:
Genre: Rhythm/ Racing/ Puzzle/ Odd
Developer: Dylan Fitterer
Platform: PC (Exclusive to Steam)
Even for an indie game, Audiosurf certainly is a strange one to describe. After much thought, the closest I can come to a description is that Audiosurf is the result of taking a blender and mixing together Tetris, the futuristic neon flamingo artwork of Tron, every piece of music ever digitally recorded, and Wipeout.
In its own words, the goal of Audiosurf is to "ride your music". Each song you import from your library of tunes is analysed by the game, and transformed into a highway, its shape and structure dictated by the tempo and mood of the song. Fast paced, frantic pieces will result in furious game play calling for lightning reactions, while more mellow tunes will allow for a more 'chillaxed' ride.
Before choosing your song, you'll pick a game play mode, which will effect what kind of challenge you'll be entrusted with when on the highway; be it collect certain coloured blocks on the highway, or to dodge others entirely.
Audiosurf has quickly gained cult status on the internet, and rightly so. It's a game with unlimited replay value, that'll change the way you think about your music. Play it because it's dirt cheap to buy (I got it for £2.99 on Steam!), and become one with your mp3 library! So long onto Steam, and get it now. No excuses!
While you're at it, play 'The Ocean' by Led Zeppelin. It made me woop.
World of Goo
At a Glance:
Genre: Puzzle
Developer: 2D Boy
Platform: PC, Nintendo WiiWare
Our third title and our third puzzle game. Coincidence? I think not. There is a reason that World of Goo has been included on this most unprestigious, uncomprehensive list. The reason is that it's brilliant.
Released late in 2008, World of Goo is beautifully rendered cartoon world inhabited by
delicious cute, squeaky Goo balls. It's your task to safely guide said Goo balls to the end of level pipe, which promptly sucks the Goo's directly to the next level. To make the challenge more palpable, you're tasked with saving a set amount of Goo's each level.
Owing a debt of gratitude to Lemmings and The Incredible Machine, independent developers 2D Boy (2 Ex- EA employees who describe their swanky San Francisco Offices as "…whichever WiFi coffee shop they happen to wander into on any given day") have created a classic puzzle game in their own right, which is simple to play and wickedly fun.
From the sound effects to the music, to the physics engine to the enigmatic Sign Painter; World of Goo is a benchmark which other puzzle games will struggle to meet. Again, it's a staggeringly simple concept, and yet it manages to be so playable that it borders on psychological addiction.
Unfortunately it's a game which has been plagued by cancer that is pirating and illegal downloads. If you want to play for free, download the demo. It allows you to play the entire first chapter. If you like it enough to play the full version – fork out and pay for it. Let's rattle some cages and fight for the little guys.
In Memoriam
At a Glance:
Genre: Adventure/ Murder Mystery
Developer: Lexis Numerique
Platform: PC
"In Memo-whaaaa?" – Bet you didn't play this one. In your defence, you may know it as "Missing: Since January" as it was re-branded for its US release. Unlike the developers, I'm not going to make the assumption that all Americans are stupid, so I'll call it In Memoriam.
As a game, In Memoriam isn't particually good. It's a puzzler that's rather lacking in substance. Yet it never tries to be anything else. It's power and ingenuity lies entirely in the strength of its story, and the brilliantly original way in which it's told. Allow me to throw down some plot and make with tha synopsis, yo! Comin' atcha! Aiiiii!
In January 2004 Jack Lorski and his companion Karen Gijman went missing. They were in Europe investigating a string of high brow murders. Not my exactly my idea of a good vacation, but each to their own. A few weeks after their disappearance, a CD was posted to the agency for which Jack and Karen worked. On the CD was a mixture of disturbing video clips, strange cryptic messages and text written by 'The Phoenix', a serial killer who claimed to have taken our missing holiday goers hostage. After weeks of hopeless attempts to decode the Pheonix CD, the agency decided to release it to the public, in the hope that somebody could decipher it for them. As such, the CD you paid for at your local eltronics boutique is not a game, but a copy of the seriel killers coded CD!
What followed was nothing short of brilliant. Developers Lexis Numerique used existing websites and websites created specifically for the game to create the battleground which pitted the player against the challenges set by 'The Phoenix'. The game was played almost entirely on the internet. You'd research the puzzles, and answer them on the Phoenix CD to unlock new puzzles. It was a damn psychological, tense affair. The CD itself is a dark, brooding thing, full of glance-over-your-shoulder-to-make-sure-nothings-standing-behind-you-with-a-knife style SFX, and disturbing video clips taken from Jack and Karen's digital camcorder. Things reach a chilling climax when the serial killer starts to e-mail you with taunts and threats. It really blurs the lines between reality and game.
Play it because it'll make you understand that being a detective isn't like it is in Who Framed Roger Rabbit. It's more like Se7en. Give it a try if you can hunt down a copy!
LittleBig Planet
At a Glance:
Genre: Platformer
Developer: Media Molecule
Platform: PlayStation 3
LBP was the winner of the prestigious (stop sniggering!) 411mania Games Award for "Most Original Title" of the year, 2008. It also won the award for "Most Over Hyped Title", but that's more to do with the incessant ramblings of the PS3 propaganda machine than this nifty platform title from Media Molecule.
What makes this game good is the lip-smackingly gorgeous graphics, cheeky sprites and solid platforming. What makes this game great, is its immensely powerful level user content creation tools. There are 3 aspects to LBP – 'Play', 'Create' & 'Share'. With 66% of the game therefore devoted firmly toward player created content, its easy to see why this game has become so popular. Players are encouraged to get their own level designing juices flowing, and to upload them for the world to see. While player made content has been around since circa the beginning of time, never before has the process been so warmly embraced and supported by the developer.
It may be clichéd, but it's as applicable as can be -the only thing holding you back with this game is your imagination. This has the potential to be more than a little dangerous to those among without a sense of imagination (you can classify yourself thusly if one of the highlights of your each day is catching up on the latest news in the Financial Times). Even if this is the case: don't panic. You'll still enjoy this game, purely for the reason that it's narrated by Stephen Fry……. STEPHEN FRY!
At a Glance:
Genre: Platformer
Developer: Double Fine Productions
Platform: PC, Xbox, PlayStation 2
At some point in our lives, we've all sat there and thought about it. I mean really thought about it: What would we see if we were inside somebody else's mind? Psychonauts earns a place on this list for answering this in considerable style.
Released in 2005, Psychonauts is a mind bogglingly imaginative title; spring loaded with wit, and executed through funderfully smooth game play. The player assumes control of Raz, a gifted child psychic who runs away from his mundane life in the circus to sneak into a summer camp which trains its students in the mysterious arts of the psychic soldiers – Psychonauts. Armed with naught but a tenacious pluckiness and a fashionable pair of flying goggles, its up to you solve why Whispering Rock camp isn't quite as idyllic a place as it first seems.
Puzzles are solved in both the real world and the mental world. The game truly excels in the latter category, as you enter the minds of members of the camp around you in order to try and help them. You'll see a selection of wicked, mundane, hilarious, fear ridden and down right terrifying minds, each jam-packed with personality. It's platforming at its best.
The game may be showing its age from a graphical perspective by now, but this is easily overlooked because I deemed it so. Play it because it'll make you wander what Raz would see if he got inside your noggin.
Not Pron
At a Glance:
Genre: Jaw Grindingly Difficult Online Riddle
Developer: David Muennich
Platform: PC only
I like to do things, and I'm sure you're the same. For this reason, I've included a (final!) game that's absolutely free to play. All it requires is the PC that you're sitting at, and the internet connection you're squandering by reading my pathetic excuse for journalism!
Since its launch in 2004, 'Not Pron' has had around 13.6 million hits. Of those 13.6 million players to attempt the game, only 7 have completed it. It doesn't take a degree in cunning to fathom why NP calls itself "The hardest riddle on the internet" then. The game is inventive, challanging, and will make force you to learn how the internet works. It's bold, it's difficult, it'l- Oh for God's sake – Just play it will you?
Don't be put off by it's silly name. Mosey on over to the Not Pron website, and fail utterly. I think I got to level 20 once.
So ends our magical mystery tour of all things good, happy and jolly. I think I'll go and listen to The Smiths and be miserable again. As for you dear reader – which games would you add to the list? Disagre with anything?
Peace out y'all!

Alite Monarch Chair -
Two-Legged Camp Chair
This Chair Rocks
This funky take-anywhere chair was created by San Francisco's Alite Designs, a firm that puts the fun in function by bringing smart designs and cool aesthetics to the outdoor gear market. Their creative director, Tae Kim, grew up in Alaska (hence the love of all things outside), worked at Ford as a car designer (hence the form and function), then moved to the Bay Area to get a master's degree in product design at Stanford (hence the design brainpower). Tae's mission is to bring more people together—outside.
Made of super-strong but super-lightweight aluminum and a nylon fabric sling, the Monarch chair weighs only 18 oz. and can hold up to 250 pounds. It has just two legs, but it's not unstable. With your feet on the ground, you can slide into a comfortable position and rock back and forth effortlessly. When you're ready to go, the collapsible chair packs into a stuff sack (no bigger than a giant burrito) that's easily attachable to backpacks, bags and bikes. — Patti Purcell
(on the left) enjoyed the Monarch at Daily Grommet's recent company outing.
Whether it's waiting for the 5:09, playing the harmonica by moonlight, cheering your favorite slugger to victory, or rocking on the shoreline, you can rest easy, indoors or out, in your Monarch. Read More Read Less
Grommet Launch Conversation
My name is Melissa, one of the team at Alite Designs. We are thrilled to be featured at Daily Grommet this weekend. We hope your weekend plans include pitching a tent, hiking a trail, getting sand between your toes or taking in an outdoor concert. We also hope you aren't planning to pack a chair that's bulky, heavy, uncomfortable, or just plain stodgy! If so, grab a Monarch chair now for your next adventure. You'll thank me. Let us know if you have any questions!
would be helpful to be able to see the price on the first page. had to click "add to cart" to find out it was out of our price range. great idea and design but too $steep for us.
@ Liz -We agree and apologies for requiring you to click through to figure out the price. Long story short ... our prices are usually visible in the "drop down" menu but if there is only one item being offered the option drop down doesn't display. There's a work around though and I will address it.
@Liz - thanks for catching that, we have it corrected now.
The Alite Monarch chair was brought to a recent outing of the Daily Grommet team. Jesse, the one who is usually behind the camera, was hamming it up and we snapped this fun picture of him!
Love this ingenious and interactive design!
Although I have many favorite Grommets this one ranks up near the top - the Monarch chair scores high on design and utility.
It looks so cool and just what I am looking for! I like that it looks like it is stable on uneven ground. But, it looks low to the ground. Is it hard for older people or those with bad knees to get in and out of?
I have bad knees and did just fine getting in and out of the chair. I can imagine, however, that it would be difficult for someone with balance or stability issues (I'm avoiding "age" here because I don't want to generalize).
A very good presentation and I enjoyed the video. If I were younger, I would be a buyer, for sure!
Does it come in an extra-large size? I am 6'7".
@Tom - it only comes in this one size. It doesn't have a height guideline but it does have a weight limit of 250 lbs.
Nice video, but I can't imagine how you get out of it. Can that be added to the video? I just see myself falling flat on my face trying to get out.
@Pam, I knew that I wouldn't have much trouble getting in to the chair - it's basically just about good aim...I was more concerned about getting out but found that it was pretty easy. I simply rocked forward and stood up. I'm sure you might have to measure the speed at which you move yourself forward - but all in all it was not that difficult.
Is this chair o.k. for those that have mild-to-moderate lower back pain issues?
@Kathryn, I confessed in an earlier post that I have bad knees...I guess I must now also confess that I have lower back issues as well (jet skiing accident when I was much younger). Ok, why don't I just admit that when I was younger I was a bit of a dare devil and as I've grown older I've now come to realize the toll some of those decisions have taken on my body. That said, I can share that I sat in the Monarch Chair for at least an hour without pain - no residual pain when I stood up. Can't say that about my chair in the office...
What is the weight capacity for this item?
@Doreen - the weight capacity is 250 lbs.
This was my 17-year-old son's favorite gift this Christmas. The chair is light and folds up into a tiny bag (just a little bigger than a jumbo burrito), is easy to assemble, and it seems like quality construction. I bought it for use as a beach chair (it could easily tuck into a backpack or sailing bag), but so far he has been using it in his room while he works on his laptop computer. It's a win!
@Judy: Wonderful, 17 can be a hard age to find a gift that they are going to love. Thank you for letting us know it was a hit!
The launch day conversation has ended. Please direct further questions about this Grommet to our Community Experience Team.

Former area coach Warren Kent Jr. named assistant baseball coach of the year
MUSKEGON — A former high school baseball coach in the area was given an assistant coach of the year honor last month.
Warren Kent Jr., who had head coaching stints at Greenville, Montabella and Vestaburg, was named the Michigan High School Baseball Coaches Association assistant coach of the year Jan. 14.
Kent is currently an assistant coach at North Muskegon, helping out his son Warren III with the Norsemen.
It was his son who nominated him for the honor, completely unbeknownst to Warren Jr.
"I didn't know I was nominated and I was very surprised when I got the award," Kent Jr. said from Florida, where he is currently vacationing.
Kent Jr. has spent the last seven springs at North Muskegon.
"I'm pretty much his gofer since he teaches at Mona Shores and doesn't get to North Muskegon until after three," Kent Jr. said of his son. "I don't know who taught him baseball but he really knows baseball."
Kent Jr. was also a varsity head coach at Vestaburg from 1988-1992 and at Montabella from 1996-1998. Kent Jr. has also coached at Greenville at the freshman and JV level.
At Vestaburg Kent Jr. had a 44-67-2 record. At Montabella his record was 14-64-1. He was 64-84-3 in Greenville combining both freshman and JV records.
The Greenville resident's total career record as a head coach in baseball is 292-385-6.
"This spring will be my 46th year of coaching baseball or softball," Kent Jr. said. "Of that 46, 23 were as a head coach. I managed to make it to 200 (varsity) wins the last year I coached at Montabella."
Kent III credited his dad with what he has been able to do in baseball coaching.
"My father has helped me get to where I am today," Kent III said in a press release. "Growing up, I saw the dedication my father put into everything that he did. I saw how much joy he had when he was working with students, whether it be in the classroom or on the athletic field. He has been influential to me because I have followed in his footsteps."
Kent Jr. has a fond memory of his head coaching days.
"One at Fulton, we won at district, and we won our district without our best pitcher who was at the state track meet winning the high jump," he said. "We won the district with our No. 2 pitcher and a JV pitcher.
We went on to face the No. 1 team in the regional and beat them. Then we lost to the eventual state champion Bay City All Saints."
Kent Jr. was also part of the North Muskegon team that went to the state semifinals in 2008.
"We had one bad inning all year and that was at the state semifinals," he said. "We lost 8-5."
The Norsemen are 178-85 under the Kents.
"We've had good kids, the best baseball players around," he said. "I don't know what there is about it. I don't know if it's my son or not."
Kent Jr. said he'll keep on coaching as long as it's still fun.
"I told him (Kent III) I'll keep doing it until I don't enjoy it," he said. "Being retired I got nothing better to do. I enjoy it. I like working with the kids."
Kent Jr. also coached football at various levels at Greenville, including two years as varsity head coach.

When do I submit a portfolio?
It is preferred that students be admitted to the University when they submit a portfolio and that the portfolio is submitted before a campus visit. However, the Art Department is willing to look at the work of anyone who is interested in studying art at Millikin.
What takes place in a portfolio review?
One or two faculty review the students' work to determine the skill level of the student, what they can contribute to the department, their personal goals for studying art, and if they deserve an art talent award based on the work that they have submitted.
When are portfolios reviewed?
Portfolio review is by appointment only. The scheduled dates for portfolio review are listed below. If one of these dates won't work, other dates are available by appointment.
- Friday, Nov. 11, 2016

Do I need to be present for my portfolio review?
It is not required that students be present for reviews. Students who live outside a 200-mile radius of Millikin may submit a portfolio via mail in lieu of a live portfolio review. However, a live portfolio review is preferred, as faculty enjoy meeting and learning more about students when making a final decision on whether or not to accept them into the program.
Will my portfolio be returned to me after it is reviewed?
