Bundeli (Devanagari: बुन्देली or बुंदेली; Nastaliq: زبان بندیلی), or Bundelkhandi, is an Indo-Aryan language spoken in the Bundelkhand region of central India. It belongs to the Western Hindi subgroup.
A descendant of the Sauraseni Apabhramsha language, Bundeli was classified under Western Hindi by George Abraham Grierson in his Linguistic Survey of India.[4] According to Ethnologue,[5] the dialects of Bundeli are Lodhanti, Khatola, Banaphari, Kundi, Nibhatta, Bhadauri, and Nagpuri. Bundeli is also closely related to Braj Bhasha, which was the foremost literary language in central India until the nineteenth century.
Like many other Indo-Aryan languages, Bundeli has often been subject to a designation as a dialect, instead of a language. Furthermore, as is the case with other Hindi languages, Bundeli speakers have been conflated with those of Standard Hindi in censuses.
The Bundelkhand region comprises regions of Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh. Bundeli is spoken in the Chattarpur, Panna, Tikamgarh, Banda, Hamirpur, Jalaun, Jhansi, Gwalior, Vidisha, Bhopal, Sagar, Ashoknagar, Jabalpur, Lalitpur, Chitrakoot, Mahoba, Damoh, Narsinghpur and Hoshangbad districts.
In the past Bundeli was used in government correspondences, messages, invoices, gazette and friendship treaties.[citation needed] Early examples of Bundelkhandi literature are the verses of Bhaddari as well as versions of the Alha-Khand epic. It is still preserved by bards in the Banaphari region. The epic is about heroes lived in the 12th century AD. The poed Chand Bardai, wrote this epic based on King Prithiviraj's wars with state of Mahoba. Many literary works in Bundheli were produced during the reign of Emperor Akbar.[citation needed] Notable figures are the poetKesab Das of the 16th century, while Padmakar Bhatt and Prajnes wrote several works during the 19th century. Prannath and Lal Kabi, produced many works in Bundheli language at the court of Chhattarsal of Panna.[6]

MYDIN's response to 'Kedai Rakyat pulling a fast one'
From Ameer Ali Mydin, via e-mail
KR1M would like to respond to several issues raised by Douglas Tan in his article, 'Kedai Rakyat pulling a fast one'. Our products are generic products. There are no advertising cost, no frills on packaging, and produced by local suppliers and manufacturers. As a result, we are able to save advertising charges and bring down the cost and by selling at a very small margin, KR1M products are 30%-50% cheaper against popular brands which are mostly international brands. In fact, KR1M generic products when compared to other hypermarket generic products of similar quality are also much cheaper.
On the question of the number of outlets,KR1M has already opened seven outlets, there will be a total of 25 outlets by year end 2011 and 60 will be opened in year 2012. Therefore, by year end 2012, there will be in total 85 KR1M outlets all over Malaysia. On the open tender process, KR1M is not privy to how the decision was made. We can only guess that as Mydin being the largest local retailer with experiences in wholesale and retail, coupled with existing supply chains, and willing to open KR1M on a CSR basis, we were chosen to run the KR1M stores operationally. No KR1M products are more expensive than the current market price of similar quality products.
We would appreciate if actual products can be highlighted and not just shoot from the hip. At our press conference on Nov 14, we stated very clearly that Tony Pua has maliciously compared KR1M generic products with Carrefour Big Savers products of different quality when rightfully he should have compared KR1M generic products with Carrefour brand products and when compared correctly, all KR1M products are much cheaper. It defies logic on why Tony Pua has never replied nor clarified nor disclosed why he did this. When conducting promotions, retail stores usually have a budget to work with, in bringing down the promotional prices. These are usually applied within a certain promotional period and many a time, for a short duration only. After the promotional period is over, prices will rise up again and back to normal. For KR1M products, prices are maintained low at all times to ensure that it benefits the Rakyat.
So, it defies logic again on how Douglas Tan can compare say, two days paranormal offers with KR1M prices which are maintained long-term. Let us be fair here. Prices of other popular brands are determined by their respective manufacturers. There is a RSP set determined for the products. It is not true as per what was mentioned by Douglas Tan that generic labels are associated with lower quality products. Generic products are priced cheaper as what I have mentioned earlier as there are no advertising costs and no frills on packaging. It baffles me as to whoever gave you the idea that generic products are of lower quality. Please read up the meaning of generic products before you make such assumptions and in this case, allegations.
Generic brands have been available in the market for a long time even in the US and other developed countries and are well-received as the prices are low and helps their citizens to save. It is just like how hypermarkets came out with their respective House Brands. I just do not understand why when we are trying to adopt the good practice from other developed countries, we receive so much objections and cynical remarks from fellow Malaysians even though it is for a good cause. I also fail to understand why, despite Tony Pua shouting at every corner in wanting to help "poor Malaysians", he does not want to pass the test results to the Ministry of Health which any responsible citizen should do for the improvement of mankind? More so, being a MP. We have thus far no issues on our procurement department which maintains the highest standard, as stated above. Tony Pua's assertions and allegations are unfounded.
On the claims that RM40 million was spent to renovate 31 stores at a cost of RM1.3 million per store, may we know how Douglas Tan arrived at the figures? KR1M would love to give him a contract to do all our renovations and assets purchases, if he can even do the smallest KR1M outlet at RM70,000. Please do not say things based on assumptions or know nothing about without doing proper homework. RM40 million has been allocated by the Government to set up KR1M stores all across the country. The amount is used for renovations only fit-out works such as tiling, ceiling and lighting installation, painting, cashier counters, display racks, signboard, equipment such as chillers and freezers, computer systems, CCTV and Point Of Sales (POS) System. Please be informed that the cost to set up a new KR1M outlet is between RM250,000 to RM750,000 depending on the size of the store which are from 1,500 square feet to 5,000 square feet. So, it is estimated that 85 outlets at an average cost of RM470,000 would utilise the total budget of RM40million. Kedai Rakyat 1Malaysia (KR1M) was formed to ease the burdens of the low income earners in the urban areas.
The operational aspect of KR1M is being handled by MyMydin, the team that specialises in mini-market concept store operations, which Franchise is open to Malaysian entrepreneurs who want to embark on retail business. The whole concept of MyMydin operations now has become a benchmark to all other mini market operators. The idea has been accepted by the public and its credibility is proven by the increasing sales record in all of its stores. In addition to that, other mom-and-pop stores are also widely called upon to sell KR1M products in their existing shops so that consumers can reap more benefits by having more KR1M products available in other mom-and-pop stores. I do not see how KR1M's presence can be a threat to mom-and-pop stores, but instead complement their business. There is no subsidy involved in goods being sold in KR1M. Why appoint Mydin to operate these stores? Mydin has been appointed as the operator and administrator of KR1M to ensure the existence of KR1M in the country will serve the Rakyat with the hope of lightening the cost of living.
Mydin has 54 years of experience in the wholesale and retail business, and therefore, it is well established in terms of personal retail management and state of the art supply chain management systems. Mydin is the only homegrown hypermarket which realised the idea of creating KR1M was brilliant, and a great way to incorporate it into Mydin CSR programme. Mydin has also proven to be a role model and a champion by giving IKS and PKS suppliers and manufacturers the opportunity to grow big and be successful in the retail market. Such opportunities are rarely given by other foreign operators as their objectives are merely to reap profits from our beloved country. We feel everyone and anyone can ask to do this. There is no monopoly here. The willing operator would have to show its ability to run the KR1M outlets on a CSR basis. We would, of course, be more than happy if other local retailers such as Econsave, 99 Speedmart and Sunrise would offer to do KR1M outlets.
Please let us not be so naïve and ask the foreign hypermarkets as this would also result in them controlling our modern retail trade in small formats. As you should be aware, foreign hypermarkets already control more than 50% of modern retail trade currently. There are no extravagant costs involve, therefore, taxpayers need not to be worried. As this is a CSR programme, the operator is obliged to absorb certain costs involved when operating KR1M outlets. The products have not failed on any Malaysian standards set by the Ministry of Health as they have been in the market even before the 1Malaysia brand came about and has been widely accepted by consumers. All of the manufacturers of these products have been in the market for many years and are very reputable.
I'm sure the ministry has been conducting many check across all brands to ensure the safety of consumers is not compromised in any way and the 1Malaysia brand has and will always give priority to acceptable quality and great low prices to give great savings and overall benefit to the Rakyat. To date, we have only unfounded, unsubstantiated allegations by Tony Pua. If he can so kindly provide his test reports to the ministry, I'm sure they will take appropriate action. It appears that making false, unsubstainted allegations is the easy part for Douglas Tan. The difficult part is for him to justify the allegations, unfortunately the damage to the IKS Suppliers and KR1M is already done. KR1M hopes that Douglas Tan will be more of a responsible journalist and as he claims "is an active member of the DAP but does not let it define his opinions".

Blake Lively Sexy Bikini Pics At The BeachTuesday, December 16th, 2008
Now these photos of Blake Lively at the beach in a sexy bikini would be just about perfect for wanking off to except for one thing — she's getting frisky with her childhood classmate, "Gossip Girl" co-star, and current boyfriend Penn Badgely. Now how much more preppy can you get with a name like Penn Badgely? No matter who he plays on the show, he's probably ten times as insufferable in person. Okay, so there's a chance he could be a nice guy, but I don't care. He's still the guy in these pics who gets to fondle Blake Lively's sexy body, and that just ruins these pics for me. But that doesn't mean you can't enjoy these photos of Blake Lively in a bikini yourself. It's also a big turn on seeing a horny couple go at it, and how could these two not be hot for each other, being on vacation in Mexico and all that? I'm sure they didn't plan on there being any paparazzi around, and this getaway was for one purpose only — getting some hot, steaming nookie!
So go on and put on those argyle socks and knitted sweater with a shirt and tie underneath and fantasize about being Penn Badgely, if that's what floats your boat. As for me, I'd rather glance at these photos and then head on over to this site, where you can find Blake Lively unencumbered by any male companion and doing all the naughty things you wish she'd do for you.

It supports the interactive standards: HDi, BD-J and BD 1.1 this is a key feature given the mouse option rather than remote only. Having used PowerDVD Ultra for several months testing HTPC motherboards, weve found Cyberlink regularly updates its software to support new features these updates are free and the good thing is that the software prompts you when theres a new one available.

EDIT: Just talked to Cyberlink and the Ultra version supports HD DVD but will be available at a later date.
I'll double check the Ultra edition too. MoovieLive doesn't interest you? ;) You are right about 5.1 DTS on Ultra version - that is total crap. I'll bring that up with Cyberlink.
You bring up good points Joey :) and you don't just get the interface in Vista - you can use it in XP too.
Originally Posted by Nikumba

The quagmire of DRM and encryption schemes is just destroying the "PC". You should tell Cyberlink to make a lightweight player that has a "less is more" interface and make a single version. Then tell them to start busting some studio heads. They have the entire 'HD'HTPC market in their hands.. that's drive makers to graphic card manufacturers, the lot. They could use that power to lay down some rules and get this crap in order.
I would buy PowerDVD 8 when it comes out if I actually "knew" it was going to work. But I tried it before with my HD DVD drive and there was some problem with my graphics card.. then my driver..... then my display. I got a new system (needed one anyway), decide to try it again, all HDCPed-up. I see Dreamworks logo, then it slows to a crawl. So now I'm not going to bother because there feels like a 90% chance I'll have to return everything.
I'm certainly not going to bother with PowerDVD 8 (or Blu-Ray) if they have no HD DVD support in there. A promise of it being included at a later date isn't really enough.

Originally Posted by Bindibadgi
The less is more approach I agree with: something simple that works, to me a simple plugin for MCE would be awesome but but it'll be hard to make it cost less. BD/HD licenses currently cost A LOT, even though Cyberlink is a BD part patent holder itself. Everytime you buy a graphics card you pay for it, everytime you buy Vista you pay for it - all sorts. The only people that lay down the ground rules are content owners and Hollywood. :( Tbh you just sound a bit raw because you own a HD drive not BD :P ;)

Hardly raw because I got a HD drive. If I didn't get one in 2006, I would have gotten one recently... the firesale prices are so dam good. Heroes HD boxset £14.. Bourne Ultimatum £6... tip of the iceberg. Brought more discs since it's been canned than I brought in the previous 18 months. You try and get those on Blu-Ray for comparable prices when they do finally come out. It'll be years, if ever.
I would like to get a Blu-Ray drive (PS3 will cost nearly as much as my PC.. rather use the PC as it could do it), but as I said, I can't trust PowerDVD will work properly. 7 doesn't work with my HD DVD drive on a fresh Vista SP1 install. I couldn't even check PowerDVD 8 will work using a HD DVD (to get even a vague idea) because 8 won't have HD DVD out of the box. Suppose I'll check out WinDVD, I read that had even more problems though, like BD+ discs.
Originally Posted by Bindibadgi

I can't say I've ever had a problem with 7 Ultra, but you'll have to wait until 8 Ultra for HD DVD support - however I would be pissed if I couldn't get it to work. Is your monitor HDCP? Are you using HDMI? You can try WinDVD - but I dont know the cost and feature comparison off hand. I do agree that BD prices are just silly though :( Thank Sony, I suppose. :P;)

AMMAN, Jordan (AP) — Syrian activists say Sunni extremists have blown up a Shiite mosque in eastern Syria in yet another sign of the sectarian hatred growing in the country's civil war.
In amateur videos, fighters walk into the mosque in Hatla and trample on books — some with covers showing pictures of Shiite clerics. It then shows an explosion bringing down the building, but its dome remains intact.
Last week, rebels stormed Hatla and battled pro-regime militiamen, killing more than 60 Shiite fighters and civilians according to activists.
The video appeared genuine and corresponded with other Associated Press reporting from the area.
Rami Abdurrahman, founder of the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, said Sunday that the attack was carried out Friday by al-Qaida's affiliate in Syria and Iraq.

Concert description
An excellent show ... a famous Badge Holders show due to Plant's several dedications to the badge holder people ... with the whole band firing on all cylinders! It is the only known show from 1977 tour when the band stopped after the first song. The peculiar stop is brief and Robert doesn't offer any hints. Perhaps a guitar change was neccessary. Jimmy's soloing during Since I've Been Loving You, Achilles Last Stand, and Ten Years Gone in particular, is amazing. Keith Moon joins in to make this already classic show legendary in stature. Just listen for a very crazed sounding yelling over the beginning of Bonham's drum solo: "The best rock and roll drummer in the world ... living today! Mr John Bonham! With Buddy Rich's arms!" He says more after that, but I can never quite make out just what it is because he seems to trail off into a noise of swearing and yelling, which conjures up cartoon images of the Tazmanian Devil or even (perhaps more appropriately) Animal from the Muppets. But that's Keith Moon for uou! He also appeared before the encores. "LA. It's been very funny. Good night!" and the show was over.

DIY Mojito Body Polish
Summer is here! For us down south, that means the heat is here too. There's just nothing like stepping outside and feeling the sweat almost immediately run down your back…ahh…Florida life.
Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't trade it for the world! All I have to do to cool off is jump in the ocean…
Now that I made you jealous, here's something that will make you love me if you already don't…the Mojito body polish.
Yup, I put the lime in the body scrub.
One of my favorite summer cocktails is the Mojito….it's the perfect "healthy" drink- mint, lime, sugar cane, and rum. I actually researched "healthy" cocktails and this came up! Mint is awesome for digestion, but how about for your skin?
That's when the idea for the Mojito body polish came to me!
It's super easy for the lazy DIYers (like me!)
You only need 4 ingredients:
Organic sugar
Peppermint oil or peppermint leaves
Coconut oil/Grapeseed oil or oil of your choice
Lime juice
You'll also need:
a mixing bowl
measuring cup
clean glass jar
1. Measure 1/2 cup of sugar. Pour in bowl.
2. Add 1/4 cup of the "heavy" oil- coconut is a favorite of mine, but I was out so I used grapeseed oil
3. Add 10-20 drops of peppermint oil- the more drops the stronger it will be, so be careful with this
4. Add a squeeze of lime juice- I used the squeeze bottle kind- you can also use a fresh lime
5. Mix well and spoon into glass jar.
6. Store in a cool dry place- be careful if you store it in the bathroom as it does attract ants!
Use this scrub 2-3 times per week to exfoliate and soften your skin. I used it last night when I was feeling worn out and I came out of the shower feeling so refreshed! Peppermint is amazing for it's aromatherapy benefits!
If you want to see my video making this scrub and to see how easy it is, click on the link below. I also let you in on the benefits of peppermint oil on the skin in the video. It has one that I think will excite you if you're interested in hair health!
DIY Mojito Body Polish- click for video
This DIY body polish is super easy and incredibly cooling and refreshing for the summer.
So are you ready for your Mojito? It's only a few minutes away…get to mixing'!

Battle for the play-off spots hots up as Mumbai Indians and Sunrisers Hyderabad lock horns in Game 62 of this season of Indian Premier League at the Wankhede Stadium on Monday. The Rohit-Sharma led side is placed second on the league table, having won nine out of 13 matches. Hyderabad, on the other hand, have eight victories in 13 games and need a win here to make life a bit difficult for Mumbai, Rajasthan Royals and Royal Challengers Bangalore.
Fresh from a solid win against neighbours Pune, Mumbai will hope to continue their winning run at their home ground. Their openers haven't fired in consistently in most of the games and even against the weaker Pune attack, they lost Dwayne Smith for a duck. Sachin Tendulkar has failed to convert his starts into big scores. But Dinesh Karthik and Rohit Sharma have consistently performed for their side and have played a few match-winning knocks as well. Allrounder Kieron Pollard, who missed the last match due to injury, is expected to come back at the expense of Glenn Maxwell. Ambati Rayudu will also be hoping to get among the runs.
The bowling attack, comprising pacers Mitchell Johnson (19 wickets) and Lasith Malinga (11 wickets), has been formidable. Johnson, by his own admission, has been in the form of his life and has been the key bowler for the Mumbai outfit. The pace duo has been well supported by Harbhajan Singh and Pragyan Ojha, who have been choking up the runs and also taking wickets in the middle overs.
On the other hand, Hyderabad need a win on Monday to stay in hunt for the play-off spot. Hyderabad's batting has been criticised throughout the tournament but off late few of their batsmen have chipped in with runs. Shikhar Dhawan, Parthiv Patel, Darren Sammy and Thisara Perera have made a meaningful contributions. Patel scored his first half-century in three years in the team's previous game against Kings XI Punjab. The four foreigners rule certainly seems to be hurting them, as Hyderabad have been changing their captain with either Sri Lankan Kumar Sangakkara or Aussie Cameron White.
Hyderabad may not boast of a star-studded line up but have a lethal bowling attack comprising world's fastest bowler Dale Steyn and Ishant Sharma along with crafty legspinner Amit Mishra. With both sides in good form, expect a thriller of a contest.
Probable XI:
Mumbai Indians: Dwayne Smith, Sachin Tendulkar, Dinesh Kartihk, Rohit Sharma (c), Ambati Rayudu, Kieron Pollard, Harbhajan Singh, Mitchell Jhonson, Lasith Malinga, Pragyan Ojha, Dhawal Kulkarni
Sunrisers Hyderabad: Parthiv Patel, Shikhar Dhawan, Hanuma Vihari, Cameron White/Kumar Sangakkara (c), Thisara Perera, Darren Sammy, Biplab Samantray, Karan Sharma, Amit Mishra, Dale Steyn, Ishant Sharma

ISLAMORADA -- An independent hotel will soon take over the Hampton Inn and Suites on Upper Matecumbe Key. Also on the way out is the Outback Steakhouse at the Hampton.
"The franchise agreements were not renewed," hotel manager Kara Lundgren said last week.
The rebranded hotel, at mile marker 80, oceanside, will be called The Islamorada Resort. Meanwhile, Lundgren said the Outback will be transformed into an American fare and seafood eatery. She said its name had not yet been chosen.
The conversion of both the hotel and restaurant are likely to happen within the next couple weeks, Lundgren said. But as of last Wednesday the acquisition of the Hampton properties had not closed. A formal time frame will be set once the sale goes through.
The Islamorada Resort is to be managed by Coral Gables-based Trust Hospitality, its website says. Trust, which bills itself as a 25-year-old hotel management company, is also now managing the Pelican Cove Resort on Windley Key.
If the Hampton Inn sale does become final, both The Islamorada Resort and Pelican Cove will be owned by the Washington, D.C.-based Carlyle Group, Lundgren said.
One of the largest private equity firms in the world, Carlyle is perhaps best known for its acquisition of defense-related industries in the 1990s, as well as for its connections with high-powered politicians, including former President George H.W. Bush.
The company's real estate holdings are also vast. As of the end of 2012, Carlyle had real estate investments in 137 cities around the world, according to the company's Securities and Exchange Commission filings.
Changes to the Hampton Inn building won't be immediate once it becomes The Islamorada Resort, Lundgren said. But they are in the works.
On Dec. 23 Carlyle, in concert with current Hampton Inn owner Boca Raton-based EDCO LTD., submitted an application to renovate the existing 79-unit building and to add a second building to its south.
The new building, to be located behind where a vacant gas station now sits, would have six suites and nine hotel rooms, village Planner Shane Laakso said. The renovations of the existing building would involve adding 16 guest units.
Renderings of the upgrade also show that outdoor spaces at the resort would be reconfigured. The swimming pool, for example would be moved closer to the beach.
"It's all very exciting," Lundgren said.
Prior to redevelopment, the site plan would have to be approved by the Village Council.

Design is Nowhere
Last night I was watching Michael Caine on Letterman. He was talking about how to be a good actor and explained that the viewer needs to be thinking: "I wonder what's going to happen next to Harry Brown," not "Michael Caine is such a good actor in this movie, isn't he…!? His character is so complex." If he's noticed for his good acting during the film, Caine considers his performance a failure.
Like actors, when designers have done their job well, we tend not to notice. The best design isn't actually there. We take it for granted—it seems elementary, as if it couldn't be anything else. As the saying goes: Good design is obvious. Great design is transparent.
Where's the design? All I see is a chair
Everything is designed — interfaces and experiences I encounter everyday, from my coffee cup to my computer, the desk it sits on, to the chair I sit on. I know this because I rarely pay them any mind at all—except, of course, on the rare occasions when something doesn't work how I'd like.
It's unfortunate that failures in a design tend to be more consciously noticed than successes. That's because when something's succeeding, good designers don't want you to notice the thought that's gone into making it. Like Michael Caine's performance, you should be immersed in the experience, not its delivery. Whether it's to communicate a message or facilitate an action, design should never get in the way of itself.
"When things are going well in a design, we don't pay attention to them. We only pay attention to things that bother us. It's like an air conditioner in a conference room. Nobody ever interrupts our meetings to tell us how comfortable the temperature is. They don't even notice."
—Jared Spool
It takes a touch of humility from Michael Caine to realize his purpose is better served when he keeps himself out his performance. Likewise, when we design without trying to give our skills the limelight, we risk them going unnoticed, but perhaps we do our jobs better.
So how do you make sure your designs don't get in the way of themselves?
Work from the inside out
Textures, treatments, colors, and typefaces get most of the attention in graphic design. Of course they're important, but they're irrelevant if the underlying concept, content, and structure isn't well conceived. This is the design. The rest is just execution. Worry about the cake before the icing (do you even need a cake?). Try to always work from the purpose and let it inform the rest.
Avoid decoration.
Design is a means to an end, not an end in itself. It's a path to a destination. Adding flowers by the roadside won't make this path more direct.
Anything that's not vital to your purpose probably shouldn't be there. That's not to say your design should be bland and bare-bones. Where you draw the line on what you keep in a design depends on your style, the job, and the audience. My suggestion: Be ruthless.
Know when to stop
Embellishments and fluff often creep in when we overthink and overwork. Don't hide behind these. Be clear on the thing(s) you're trying to do. Audit the design against these objectives. If it ticks all the boxes, stop adding and start taking things away.

considering surgery. A nose surgery that involves correction of the nose, refinering of nose and hump removal. My question is the following: My nose is crooked, it moves to the higher side and seems a bit wide. When the hump removed and cartilage that is on the side of the nose are reduced my nose to see wide after surgery? Thanks for answering
Nose, Tip, Wide, Hump?
Doctor Answers 9
Nose hump and crooked
Hump removal is performed by shaving down cartilage and bone along the dorsum. A crooked nose is treated by resetting the nose bones with osteotomies. The osteotomies also narrow the nose to prevent a wide, open-roof deformity
Preoperative rhinoplasty analysis.
It sounds as if you have multiple concerns. Without photos and based on your description it is difficult to determine exactly what the issues are. I would recommend consultations with a few qualified rhinoplasty surgeons.
Mario. J. Imola, MD, DDS, FRCSC.
Crooked and wide nose correction with rhinoplasty
Crooked and wide nose are common reasons for many patients seeking rhinoplasty. A crooked nose may result from deformed cartilage or deviated nasal bones. This is corrected by resetting the bones and cartilage framework. A wide nose is corrected by infracturing and the nasal bones. If the tip is wide, then tiplasty by reshaping the cartilage can give significant improvement to the nose. Posting pictures of your nose will be helpful to diagnose your concerns.

A crooked nose and width
If you want the nose to be reduced in width, this is easy to accomplish and it should not appear wide after surgery. The crooked nature of the nose can always be improved, but this is hardly ever 100%.
Rhinoplasty and nasal width
When taking down a dorsal hump/bump, the nose may look a bit wide. That is why infracturing of the bones is performed so that the nose does not appear too wide.

I cannot answer your question based on the reading. You would be well advised to revise your question in complete sentences in order to get an intelligent answer.

Wide, Crooked Nose with Hump
A wide, crooked nose with a hump can be improved with rhinoplasty surgery. Hopefully this helps; I'm not sure what you are asking.

The key to a straight nose is a straight septum. It is possible to correct all of the problems that are of concern to you with a rhinoplasty and septoplasty.

I absolutely love Paris. This "PARIS IN THE SNOW" BIRTHDAY PARTY submitted by Rebecca Billig of Verlockendes {Germany} is so dreamy. Oh how I would love to see Paris in the winter time!
"This party had a beautiful pink and black color scheme. The polka dots added a special touch, too. Delicate pink favor boxes with pink nail polish inside were wrapped in pink and black ribbon and adorned with Eiffel Tower stickers. Pudding, cake and bon bon's were served. A hat box was used to display the chocolate bon bon's and a cute white end table was used for the rest of the desserts. As a final touch, faux snow was sprinkled everywhere."

I found one that seems to be a good deal, the seller says the only problem with it is that the wipers aren't working so im guessing the motor blew out on it.They said everything else is fine with the car. My question is how much would it cost for me to fix the wiper motor and is it tough to do so? Here's the car I've been looking at.

Red-hot Gagnon, O'Dell power IceCaps to victory Posted by IceCaps on
Photo: James DiBianco Jr.
St. John's defeats Albany 4-2
Aaron Gagnon scored twice to lead the St. John's IceCaps to a 4-2 triumph over the Albany Devils Wednesday night at Times Union Center in Albany, NY.
Gagnon notched shorthanded and power play markers – extending his point streak to a franchise record 11 games – including the game-winner, while Jason Jaffray picked up three points, scoring a goal and adding two assists.
Eric O'Dell had a goal and an assist, finding the back of the net for the sixth consecutive game, also a new club record. Ben Maxwell picked up a pair of assists and was given the nod as the Mary Brown's Hardest Working Player. Mark Dekanich made 21 saves for his fifth win in his last six starts.
Albany got on the board 4:29 into the opening frame on a power play after a high-sticking minor was assessed to Ben Chiarot. Phil Desimone won the draw to Matt Anderson, who fed Joe Whitney for a one-timer near the top of the right circle and the puck appeared to hit something in front before beating Dekanich to give the Devils a 1-0 lead.
Jaffray got the equalizer midway through the first just after a power play expired. Ben Chiarot got the puck down low to Ray Sawada, who made a nifty spinning backhand pass to Jaffray in the slot. The captain chipped one over Albany goaltender Jeff Frazee's left shoulder to tie the game at one.
Early in the second towards the tail end of an IceCaps power play, O'Dell scored his 25th to give St. John's a 2-1 lead. Maxwell took a pass from Jaffray at the left point and wired a shot on goal that was deflected by O'Dell and past Frazee, giving the IceCaps the lead.
Minutes later after Dean Arsene was whistled for a questionable holding call, Jaffray and Gagnon burst in on a two-on-one rush shorthanded. The captain waited until the last moment before slipping a pass across to Gagnon, who tapped the puck into the yawning cage to put his team up 3-1.
Gagnon added his second – this time on the power play – with a bomb from the point at 8:35 of the third. Maxwell put the puck on a tee for Gagnon at the left point, and the hottest IceCap blasted a one-timer past Frazee for a 4-1 IceCaps lead.
Albany cut the lead in half with less than five minutes to play when Brandon Burlon hammered home a rebound past Dekanich but St. John's shut the door the rest of the way.
The IceCaps travel to Worcester for a Saturday night tilt with the division rival Sharks to conclude their five-game road trip. St. John's is 3-1-0-0 on the trip thus far.
Catch all the action with broadcaster Brian Rogers at stjohnsicecaps.com and on 930 AM This Is Newfoundland Labrador, or watch online at ahllive.com. Puck drop is set for 8:30 p.m. NT with the pregame show getting underway at 8:00.
Aaron Gagnon passed Paul Postma for the longest point streak (11 games) in team history… Eric O'Dell continued to set team records for both the longest goal streak (now at six games) and most goals in a season (now at 25)… St. John's went 2-for-7 on the power play, its third straight game with multiple goals with the man advantage. The IceCaps killed off 5-of-6 penalties… Ben Maxwell has four points (2G, 2A) in his last two games… The IceCaps finished their season series versus the Devils with a 3-1-0-0 record.

No, it's slightly heavier than a grease pot (and teflon coated) – I forget where I found it. The lid may be from an old grease pot, though.

This site details the ancestry of my grandparents Robert
Austen Young (1910-1985) and May
Aroha Free "Maisie" (1911-1981). Who were married in Auckland,
New Zealand, in 1935 and have four children and ten grandchildren.
The initial purpose of my research was and still is to establish and
understand where the family name of "Austen" came from. In January
2004 a significant break through occured with the arrival of a copy of
Joseph Austen Chamberlain's "Notes of the families of Chamberlain
and Harben". This book, which is available for sale on this website
as an eBook, positively identifies Robert Austen, (1710-1786), as the
oldest 'Austen' found to date, his daughter, Mary Austen, is pictured
below. However, in the years leading up to finding this book I have amassed
a considerable quantity of family history from many extended branches
of the family - some of which has not been publicly available before now.
In particular the material on the life of William
Henry Free (1825-1919) is close to the level required for an entry
in the Dictionary of New Zealand Biography
and he is certainly a deserving subject for this publication (and was included in the 1950 edition).
This site does not provide details of any living person - other than some references to my great aunt Margaret Ruth Austin (sorry Margaret) and her cousin John Gillow (sorry John).
