The Illustrious Prince HTML version
8. An Interrupted Theatre Party
Seated upon a roomy lounge in the foyer of the Savoy were three women who attracted
more than an average amount of attention from the passers-by. In the middle was the
Duchess of Devenham, erect, stately, and with a figure which was still irreproachable
notwithstanding her white hair. on one side sat her daughter, Lady Grace Redford, tall,
fair, and comely; on the other, Miss Penelope Morse. The two girls were amusing
themselves, watching the people; their chaperon had her eye upon the clock.
"To dine at half-past seven," the Duchess remarked, as she looked around the
ENTRESOL of the great restaurant through her lorgnettes, "is certainly a little trying for
one's temper and for one's digestion, but so long as those men accepted, I certainly think
they ought to have been here. They know that the play begins at a quarter to nine."
"It isn't like Dicky Vanderpole in the least," Penelope said. "Since he began to tread the
devious paths of diplomacy, he has brought exactness in the small things of life down to a
fine art."
"He isn't half so much fun as he used to be," Lady Grace declared.
"Fun!" Penelope exclaimed. "Sometimes I think that I never knew a more trying person."
"I have never known the Prince unpunctual," the Duchess murmured. "I consider him
absolutely the best-mannered young man I know."
Lady Grace smiled, and glanced at Penelope.
"I don't think you'll get Penelope to agree with you, mother," she said.
"Why not, my dear?" the Duchess asked. "I heard that you were quite rude to him the
other evening. We others all find him so charming."
Penelope's lip curled slightly.
"He has so many admirers," she remarked, "that I dare say he will not notice my absence
from the ranks. Perhaps I am a little prejudiced. At home, you know, we have rather
strong opinions about this fusion of races."
The Duchess raised her eyebrows.
"But a Prince of Japan, my dear Penelope!" she said. "A cousin of the Emperor, and a
member of an aristocracy which was old before we were thought of! Surely you cannot
class Prince Maiyo amongst those to whom any of your country people could take

Today was too cold for bees to fly, but I went out to look at the hive anyway.
I found this ball of bee parts on the hive's front porch. It's about a half inch in diameter--key is for scale.
What animal does this?
I am in a fairly urban area. No skunks or shrews. We do have raccoons and possums, although I haven't seen a possum, dead or alive, around here for years.
Thanks in advance!

When it comes to baby name trends, every new year promises to be more interesting than the last! I'm sure 2014 will "deliver" some highly original baby name choices.
Whether you're expecting a baby, planning for one in the near future, or (like me!) you always love following baby name news, check out these rising baby name trends for 2014:
- Royal baby-inspired names - Thanks to Prince William and Kate Middleton's little bundle of joy, there will surely be some more little George's running around on both sides of the pond. But I suspect that the related girls' name Georgia and the boys' name Louis (one of little Prince George's middle names) will see even bigger bumps this year than the name George.
- Direction-inspired names - Few people will venture into "North West" territory and shameless copy Kim and Kanye's baby name choice. But I believe parents-to-be will be increasingly drawn to compass-inspired names such as Easton and Weston. (Look -- one of the first baby names of 2014 is a little one named Easton born in Alaska, as NameCandy reports!) Kourtney Kardashian's son's name, Mason, rocked our world four years ago and quickly topped boy name lists. Her little sister Kim's baby name pick is sure to make a mark on the world of baby names.
- Tragedy-inspired names - Believe it or not, bad news appears to influence our subconscious when it comes to choosing baby names. For example, the New York Times reports that Hurricane Katrina might have contributed to the 9 percent bump in "K" baby names in the years right after the storm. Last year's top trending story on Google was that of actor Paul Walker's death in a fiery car crash. Paul may be too traditional to see a spike on baby name charts, but Walker -- and other hearty "W" names with hipster appeal, such as Walter, Walden, Wallace, and Wes -- are likely to climb the charts.
- New spins on celebrity baby names - Admit it -- we all occasionally indulge in stalking new Hollywood baby names. While nabbing a name directly from the pages of People or Us Weekly is completely acceptable in this day and age (IMO!), most moms-to-be won't outwardly admit to Hollywood's influence (only 2% of moms in our baby-name poll say they followed a celebrity trend). BUT, the proof is in the pudding: Many new moms like celebrity-ish baby names. Again, take a look at the first babies born in 2014: names like Gwineth, Vivianna, and Brooklyn remind us of the names (or baby names) of some big stars (cough, cough... Gwyneth, Brangelina, and the Beckhams... cough). OWN IT! Hollywood does inspire some of our name choices, and that is OK. :)
I guess that's a good note to end on: OWN your baby name choice, whatever it may be and wherever it may come from.
Check out our other baby name resources! Happy 2014!

Two customs agents sickened after suspicious package at JFK International Airport tests positive for 'VX nerve gas'
Mail sorting facility and Customs office were quarantined after discovery of suspicious package
Initial tests were positive for VX chemical nerve gas – a deadly nerve agent
Firefighters say test was likely false positive and substance is not actually chemical weapon
Operations at JFK airport were not disrupted
A Postal Service mail sorting facility at New York's JFK International Airport has been quarantined today after a suspicious package tested positive for VX nerve gas.
Two Customs agents were sicked Sunday morning after inhaling the strange odor coming from the package, which unconfirmed reports indicate was shipped to the United States from China.
Authorities say it is unlikely that the substance in the package is actually the deadly chemical weapon, but they are taking no chances.
Operations at JFK International airport were not disrupted by the report of a chemical nerve agent being discovered at a mail facility
The New York Postreports that the Postal Service facility – which is responsible for sorting international mail bound for the eastern U.S. – and a Customs office a quarter mile away were both quarantined.
After the Customs and Border Control agents were overcome, an initial test revealed that the package contained 'chemical-grade weapons and nerve gas.'
A second test said the chemical was VX nerve gas, a deadly synthetic chemical weapon that can be absorbed through the lungs or the skin.
'Beauty supplies and nothing further': False alarm at JFK airport as suspicious package that tested positive for nerve gas turns out to be nail polish remover
Mail sorting facility and Customs office were quarantined after discovery of suspicious package
Two workers suffered 'respiratory arrest'
The package, originating from China, likely contained a broken container of everyday nail polish remover
Initial tests were positive for VX chemical nerve gas – a deadly nerve agent
A suspicious package at a JFK airport mail sorting facility caused a brief scare and quarantine Sunday–and all because of a bag of cosmetics.
The FBI says a package was tested after two customs workers reported they felt ill after opening it contained beauty supplies.
The package, which originated from China, was likely full of fumes due to a broken bottle of nail polish remover.
Panic: New York HazMat teams and the FBI rushed to JFK airport Sunday after a package in a mail sorting facility tested positive for deadly nerve gas
'The FBI screened and tested the employees and the package they opened,' FBI spokesman J. Peter Donald said in a statement. 'The package in question was determined to be beauty supplies and nothing further. The scene has been cleared by FBI personnel.'
Donald said said agents have cleared the scene.
He said the employees and the package were tested and screened out of 'an abundance of caution.'
Tests initially came up positive for VX nerve gas, an extremely deadly chemical warfare agent.
Cosmetics: An FBI official later called the incident a false alarm and that the package contained only everyday cosmetics. Reports say the culprit was likely a broken container of nail polish remover
No hiccups: Operations at JFK International airport were not disrupted as authorities swarmed two facilities after the positive test for VX nerve gas

Thinking of buying a 2012/13. Am I crazy?
I've read all about the 2014s coming soon but I'm still keen on a 2012 or 13 model mostly because I'm sure I can get a good price on one now. A local dealer has a few 2012s on the lot that I'm thinking of making an offer on. What would be a good % off a Limited 2012? 2013? TIA.
Re: Thinking of buying a 2012/13. Am I crazy?
I'm sure you could score a killer deal on a 2012, a 2013 may be a little higher. As far as numbers there is a Jeep dealer on here Pats Auto Field, you may look him up and get numbers from him on wht you should pay!
Re: Thinking of buying a 2012/13. Am I crazy?
Your not crazy, people are still doing it. Just have to take into account depreciation as the 2014 MY is about ready to come out. For a 2012, I'd say atleast 2% under invoice. For a 2013, probably 2% under invoice plus any incentives.
Re: Thinking of buying a 2012/13. Am I crazy?
I'm actually considering it b/c of a few reasons that nobody would really care to hear about. I may actually scoop up a slightly used one as I'm sure a few will be traded in once they see the '14's. Then we'll start a thread for the '2017' Grand Cherokee Features and Changes (next model change year)
Re: Thinking of buying a 2012/13. Am I crazy?
It all depends on how much the "new" stuff means to you. I personally would "like" the bigger screen etc... but the lower monthly payment by a couple hundred sounded better so I got a '13. I guarantee there won't be any wiggle room on the '14's without a decent fight lol.
You're not crazy. The 12/13 is a great truck and has more to offer than most will ever need or use. I picked up my 12 Limited for a good deal when the 13's came out and now I'm considering a 13 Trailhawk since the 14's will be out soon...now that's crazy lol. If you don't mind the Hemi mpgs then you can really pick up a killer deal. There's a thread somewhere where guys are reporting prices paid. Check it out and that should help you negotiate a pretty sweet deal. Good luck!
Re: Thinking of buying a 2012/13. Am I crazy?
I just bought a 2013 a week ago. I was excited about the 2014, and the new features sound great, but I was in love with the styling of the 2011-2013 model for a long time. When my 1999 GC officially died a few weeks ago, I lost the luxury of waiting for 2014 delivery several months into the future. I'm actually quite happy that my circumstances forced my decision, as I don't regret being in the 2013 at all.
Re: Thinking of buying a 2012/13. Am I crazy?
Not crazy at all!! I love my 2012 Laredo X Pentastar @ almost 15K miles. Great vehicle and totally happy with the V6!
Re: Thinking of buying a 2012/13. Am I crazy?
I was waiting to read the MPG ratings on the '14s before I made any decisions. They seem only very slightly better so if i can get a killer deal on the 6 speed, I would go with that. The other thing is that I'm very picky about my in car electronics and I've been super disappointed with both the 430 and 730. Sluggish performance, low res., etc. so I would have to upgrade that to an aftermarket HU. If the 14s have better displays/performance, it might make my decision tougher.
Re: Thinking of buying a 2012/13. Am I crazy?
The MPG is out for the 14, it is in the 14 thread. As for the res and response on the new radios, a lot better than the old system.
Re: Thinking of buying a 2012/13. Am I crazy?
While I doubt there will be any major incentives right away, it's still no problem ordering a '14 for invoice or 1% below with no fighting at all.
So, you should be able to do better than that on a '12 or '13.
If you keep a vehicle long enough the difference in trade in diminishes.
If price is a major concern in deciding what to buy, I don't think you could find a better time to be shopping than right now, except maybe next week.
Re: Thinking of buying a 2012/13. Am I crazy?
Do it.
Some say only the 2014 smiley face grill looks a bit crazy.
I kid, I kid.

The Best Apps for Losing Weight
Hoping to shed (or gain) a few pounds this year? I'm a firm believer in taking a holistic approach to health and diet, and part of that solution requires becoming fully aware of what you eat, how much you eat, and how many calories you burn. While technology alone will not magically make you lose weight, one thing it excels at is math, and calorie intake versus expenditure is largely (though not exclusively) a game of numbers.
Calorie-counting and exercise-tracking apps, like the five we've listed below, really can go a long way to helping you hone your focus on your diet and fitness regimen. If you have a smartphone, it's likely always with you, which is key. You want to be able to pick up that phone, launch the app, and record the nutritious lunch you just ate on the spot. You want to be able to pull out the device and proudly enter the three-mile hike that you just finished.
Most of these apps let you record both food and exercise, as well as set a net calorie consumption target or range for the day based on your height, weight, age, gender, and overall level of activity.
Sure, there's more to losing weight than simply computing input and expenditure, but that's a huge challenge in itself to conquer. These app, which pull from both nutritional databases and crowd-sourced knowledge, can help you reach that first level of success much faster than a notebook, pen, and calculator. For more fitness app suggestions, including handy reference guides and logs to bring to the gym, see "Fitness Apps and Gadgets to Get You in Shape."
It takes time to figure out your own habits and patterns, much less what you need to do to change them. Our favorite calorie-counting and fitness apps track your progress over weeks and months, giving you a better view of the big picture. What you do or eat in one day doesn't reflect your overall progress. It's the patterns and lifestyle that matter. Load one of these great apps onto your smartphone today, and stick with it to see those changes.
Check out The Best iPhone Apps
The free fitness app MyFitnessPal is one of the best all-in-one calorie counter and exercise trackers for the smartphone users, with versions available for Android, BlackBerry, iPhone, and Windows Mobile. A simple design and interface make using the app a quick chore rather than a fatiguing project, which is essential when trying to reach a fitness goal. It's also the best for international eaters, with a database full of information about both brand-name foods and home-cooked dishes from North America and around the world. The website offers social support as well as more tools for helping you reach your diet and health goals.
Lose It!
The free iPhone app Lose It!, designed for counting calories and logging exercise, can help you lose weight, especially if you tend to eat name-brand American foods. But for avid home cooks and those with a more international diet, there's a better app that's also free. This app is only available on iPhone presently, although the full website has plenty to offer, including social support.
Calorie Tracker - Livestrong.com
If you're a fan of the Livestrong brand, Calorie Tracker may be the app for you, but for most people, I would recommend either of the two aforementioned apps first. The $2.99 Livestrong app requires a little more work than others in its class, leaving users sitting on their butts too long, rather than getting them on the go quickly. Plus, the best app for the job (MyFitnessPal) is free, and Livestrong's isn't. There are Calorie Tracker editions for iPhone, iPad, BlackBerry, and Windows Mobile.
CountEat. Calories
99 cents
The 99 cent iPhone app CountEat. Calories helps you guess the caloric content of a full meal, rather than count precisely how many calories you consumed. What I like best is it helps you find a range, rather than a precise target, for how much you should eat. The innovative approach, developed by a registered dietician, is worth a try for anyone trying to lose a lot of weight, but it's too imprecise if you're only trying to drop two or three pounds.
The Eatery
Rather than log every single thing you eat or guess the caloric content, The Eatery iPhone app has you upload pictures of your meals to its site where other users decide whether it's "fit or fat." Likewise, you can grade images that other people upload as well. What I don't like about this app is it takes food and diet out of context. For example, you can't tell if someone drank a smoothie as a meal or as a snack. Was that coffee with artificial sweetener the only thing that person had for breakfast? Some users upload notes with their food images to give you a more precise understanding of what's in the dish. And many users, unfortunately, upload pictures of empty bowls and plates, in which case you'll have to hit the X button and respond "I don't know what this is," or "This isn't a picture of food."

In essence you want to test whether the variance of the
random region specific intercept is zero. Stata will
report standard errors for the variances, but Wald test
(parameter divided by the se is standard normal) is
problematic since the null hypothesis is on the border
of the allowable values of a variance. You could
estimate a model with random effects on the region level
and one without and do a likelihood ratio test. You'll
have to take care to specify the mle option to make that
valid, since by default -xtmixed- uses restricted
maximum likelihood (reml). You can repeat that for
the school and class levels.

Czech PM Necas: Soften austerity drive to help economy - paper
PRAGUE (Reuters) - The Czech government must change tack to help the economy out of a recession and "stop scaring" the public with further budget tightening, Prime Minister Petr Necas was quoted as saying on Saturday.
Pressure has been building on his centre-right cabinet to ease its austerity zeal after the economy slid into a recession and Necas's Civic Democrats suffered a drubbing in regional and Senate election last month as voters punished them for spending cuts and sleaze scandals.
"We have to stop all the scaring of people and show them a light at the end of the tunnel," daily Mlada Fronta Dnes quoted Necas as saying.
He said the government should back off from pursuing tough deficit targets while the economy remains weak.
This is the first time Necas has said the cabinet must alter its policy focused primarily on trimming debt, although he stopped short of admitting what many economists have said, that the government's stubborn fiscal cuts significantly contributed to the three-quarters old economic recession.
Government spokesman Jakub Stadler said the remarks were Necas's personal opinion which he will discuss with the rest of the government and it was not yet decided what the new deficit targets will be.
The Czech central bank cut its main policy rate to near zero to spur spending and central banker Pavel Rezabek took a rare swipe at the government in a Reuters interview last month, saying it should stop undermining the bank's efforts to drag the economy out of recession.
Necas said poor demand was a "psychological matter", meaning people and businesses constantly hearing of plans for budget cuts and economic crisis in the euro zone prefer to stash money in their bank accounts in anticipation of bad times ahead rather than spend and invest.
"Ministers should not longer scare people but they should give them hope... because the government's consolidation effort has brought results," the paper quoted him as saying. Continued...

A well-known gangster already charged for a Toronto hit is now facing facing a murder charge for the high-profile execution of rival Sandip Duhre in downtown Vancouver in January 2012.
The murder charge was sworn against Rabih (Robby) Alkhalil, 25, on March 18, 2013, according to the provincial court data base.
Aklhalil, a former Metro Vancouver resident, fled to Greece after Vancouver Police executed a search warrant at the Montreal home he was sharing with full-patch Hells Angel Larry Amero.
He was arrested in Greece in February on an international warrant issued after he was charged in the June 2012 Toronto Little Italy hit on Johnnie Raposo outside a café where he was watching soccer.
Vancouver Police Supt. Mike Porteous said the investigation into the Wall Centre slaying has been international in scope.
He said Alkhalil's extradition is in progress but could take months.
Video surveillance from the Sheraton Wall Centre was critical to the investigation, Porteous said.
It also captured the horror of others in the lobby when a hitman shot Duhre several times as he sat at a table in the lobby restaurant.
"The shooting occurred in a busy restaurant, which was occupied by innocent patrons and the Women's National Cuban soccer team," Porteous said.
"We believe this was a well-planned public execution involving a coordinated and deliberate effort to carry out the murder. We also believe it was a contract killing related to the ongoing Lower Mainland gang conflict."
Porteous said VPD is pursuing other suspects and further arrests.
The Vancouver Sun earlier revealed that in addition to Alkhalil, another key suspect in the Duhre slaying is Dean Wiwchar, his co-accused in the Raposo murder.
"We believe he was working in concert with other suspects who were present and actively involved in the murder.
This investigation is not over. We are pursuing charges against all the parties involved," Porteous said.
He also said "the success of this investigation is due in part to the cooperation of key material witnesses and associates of the suspects who are willing to come forth emboldened by the recent successes of law enforcement in these difficult cases."
Duhre's relatives have been told in recent months that investigators are making good progress. But given that the two suspects are already facing charges in Ontario, there likely wouldn't be a speedy prosecution in B.C.
Alkhalil also faces cocaine smuggling charges in the Niagara region, as well as in Montreal, along with Amero, a high-ranking member of the HA's new West Point chapter.
Alkhalil came to Canada from Saudi Arabia in 1990 with his parents and siblings and made a refugee claim. They settled in Surrey, but relocated to the Ottawa area after two of his brothers were murdered.
Khalil, just 19, was shot to death in Surrey in 2001 and Mamoud, also 19 at the time, was killed in the infamous Loft Six nightclub shooting in downtown Vancouver in August 2003.
Another Alkhalil brother, Nabil, has been ordered deported because of a cocaine trafficking conviction in Ontario. But he remains in Canada because he is stateless.
Alkhalil has been extremely close to Amero in recent years.
Amero was wounded in the August 2011 Kelowna shooting in which Red Scorpion Jon Bacon was killed.
After the shooting, police said members of the Dhak-Duhre crime group could be targeted in retaliation. More than a dozen people linked to the gang have since been killed including Duhre and Sukh Dhak.
Three Dhak associates are now charged with the first-degree murder of Bacon.
But hostilities between the Alkhalils and Duhre's associates date back to the Loft Six shootout.

As we honor Martin Luther King Jr. and his historical achievements in helping all colored people win equal rights, I think of how many politicians desire the old ways. Politicians like Newt Gingrich have no respect for our people and still stereotype us as nothing more than welfare recipients and drug dealers with no work ethic. Some, like Ron Paul, are 100 percent against Martin Luther King Jr. and the Civil Rights act of 1964.
Ron Paul has gained a big following in recent months and many of those followers are middle-class white men. These white men are far from being progressive and as Tim Wise stated in his essay titled Of Broken Clocks, Presidential Candidates, and the Confusion of Certain White Liberals: "These guys are largely attracted to Paul because he'll get government off their backs, by lowering their taxes, cutting spending that helps poor people whom they regard as lazy." Mr. Wise might be a bit extreme but he is also on point.
Ron Paul was also the only Congressman to vote against a bill that honored the 40th anniversary of the 1964 Civil Rights Act in 2004. In his speech to Congress Ron Paul said "
The Civil Rights Act of 1964 not only violated the Constitution and reduced individual liberty; it also failed to achieve its stated goals of promoting racial harmony and a color-blind society. Federal bureaucrats and judges cannot read minds to see if actions are motivated by racism. Therefore, the only way the federal government could ensure an employer was not violating the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was to ensure that the racial composition of a business's workforce matched the racial composition of a bureaucrat or judge's defined body of potential employees.
Here's another shock and awe, Ron Paul voted against Martin Luther King day in 1983. He also expressed his disapproval of Regan in his newsletter cited by theroot.com,
"Boy, it sure burns me to have a national holiday for Martin Luther King. I voted against this outrage time and time again as a Congressman. What an infamy that Ronald Reagan approved it! We can thank him for our annual Hate Whitey Day.
Ron Paul has tried to dismiss the newsletter and wash away his past declarations against the Civil Rights of 1964 and Martin Luther King Jr. He preaches how the '64 Civil Rights Act is a "massive violation of the rights of private property and contract, which are the bedrocks of free society." In my opinion, the free society he speaks of involves oppression against all colored people by racist Anglos without consequence; That's Ron Paul's dream.
Long live the dream of all the people fighting for true equality. One day that dream will be realized. Pa'lante!

John Oxendine and the Failings of Republican Frontrunners
Georgia Insurance Commissioner John Oxendine was expected to be the Republican nominee for governor. He finished fourth in the primary. But, he can take a small measure of solace that it's been a rough year for Republican frontrunners in other states too.
John Oxendine finished fourth in this week's Georgia Republican primary for governor, quite a rebuke for a candidate who was considered the frontrunner for a long while. Oxendine's loss reflected his own weaknesses as a candidate, but it also may have reflected the mood of Republican voters, who often seem to be treating establishment support as a bad thing this year.
With that in mind, I decided to catalogue the Republicans frontrunners who have lost or seem to be losing primaries for governor this year. These are people who, once all the major candidates had declared their intentions, were favored to win (in conventional wisdom) and then went on to lose or look as though they will lose. There's quite a bit of subjectivity to this analysis, so let me give you the list and then discuss the questionable cases.
Most of these I feel pretty solid about, but there are a few exceptions:
-The only race where I'm not venturing a guess is Colorado. After the Scott McInnis plagiarism scandal, the race is totally confused and unpredictable.
-In Michigan, you could make a case that the candidates should be reversed: That Hoekstra was actually the original frontrunner and that Cox is now in the lead. Really, though, it's been a race without a clear frontrunner for quite a while.
-The Minnesota Republican nomination was, from the beginning, exceptionally difficult to handicap. Seifert won an early Republican convention straw poll, which is why I list him.
-In South Carolina, I'm not entirely sure that McMaster was the original frontrunner, but I do feel as though I can say with confidence that Nikki Haley wasn't the frontrunner.
There are also some ambiguous cases in the states where I think the Republican frontrunner came out on top or is going to come out on top. Here's that list:
The ambiguous cases:
-In New Mexico, Pete Dominici Jr. led early on in the polls on the strength of name recognition, although I have a vague sense that he never was considered all that serious of a candidate. In the end, he didn't come close to winning.
-Maybe there was about a 30-minute period where Steve Levy was the frontrunner in New York, before everyone realized the logistical hassles he faced to winning the nomination.
-Was Allen Alley ever the frontrunner in Oregon? I'm not sure.
-In Wyoming, where Republicans have a deep field, I don't know if Rita Meyer was the frontrunner to begin with and I don't know if she's the frontrunner now. That's pretty much a guess. You do have to think that a Sarah Palin endorsement is coming though, right?
When you add it up, I'm not sure that the number of Republican frontrunners who have lost is really all that unusual. Still, some of the implosions have been striking enough (Hutchison, Byrne, Oxendine, most likely McCollum) that it feels as though something strange is going on.

might find Your handmaid Eve alone and kill her; for its eyes are hideous and
2 But God said to Adam and Eve, "From now on, don't be afraid, I will not let it

Resurrecting The Champ
Read Our Full Review & Parent Discussion Questions Here
Resurrecting The Champ
Rating & Content Info
Why is Resurrecting The Champ rated PG-13? Resurrecting The Champ is rated PG-13 by the MPAA for some violence and brief language.
Violence and language are the two major factors to consider in determining if this film is suitable for your teens and older children. A boxing match is depicted and a man being punched is shown with blood spurting from his mouth. On two other occasions, youth rough up a homeless man because they know him to be a former boxer—once a couple of them hold the man down while another takes punches at him. There are no consequences displayed for their violent actions. Mild and moderate profanities (typically scatological terms) are used frequently throughout the film. A sexual expletive is also heard one time (in a non-sexual context). Alcohol is consumed in many scenes, with a character buying another man booze in return for having him tell him his life story. In one scene, the protagonist drinks heavily to deal with difficulties in his life. Cigarette and cigar smoking is portrayed. A brief shot shows a woman wearing a bikini. A negative remark is made about French Canadians.

27 year old Navy Vet here who was "lucky" enough to get free rhinoplasty from the military for my "deviated septum." Now one side of my nose is weak and collapses when I breath and my nostrils seam a lot larger than they once were. I could really use some advise, or maybe it's just this damn OC life getting to me. Thanks guys
Bad Rhinosplasty, Now Hanging Columella and Large Nostrils- Suggestions?
Doctor Answers 10
Hanging Columella and Large Nostrils after Rhinoplasty
Your hanging columella can be raised and the nostril rims lowered with alar rim cartilage grafts. This will improve the shape and decrease the apparent size of your nostrils. The mid-portion of your nose is narrow and probably is the area that you describe as "collapsing" can be corrected with placement of cartilage as "spreader" grafts which will strengthen the nose and improve breathing. Your problems are frequently seen in patients who need a revision rhinoplasty, but all can be corrected.
Rhinoplasty revision
From your photos,MIT seems like you would benefit from shortening the nose and correction of the hanging columella by respecting a portion of cartilage from the lower part of the septum (we call this the caudal septum). This ismamafirly simple procedure and would improve the appearance greatly. I would accomplish this using the closed rhinoplasty approach. the cause of your nasal obstruction requires an examination to determine its cause and possible solutions.
Web reference: http://edelsonplastic.com/face/rhinoplasty/
Unhappy after rhinoplasty
- If it seems to good to be true...
- You get what you pay for
Well, we've all heard those before and unfortunately it often is.
You seem to have bilateral alar notching based on your photographs, but a face-to-face interview and examination with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon who emphasizes in Rhinoplasty would be best for you. It is important to know what was done to correct your deviated septum. Specifically, do you have septal cartilage available to lend support to your alae? Bilateral Lateral Crural Strut Grafts seem the most plausible solution based on your photos, but the exam would reveal the most.

Revision rhinoplasty
It looks from yoru profile more of alar notching which may or may not benefit from grafting to the alar rims for support. An exam is key to evlauate this as well as your collapse that you are talking about. You have to give it time to heal if it is less than one year since your surgery.
Rhinoplasty revision
Your posted photos show a notched nostril rim at least on the right, asymmetric tip cartilages, a c-shaped septal deviation concave to the right and a tip that projects forward more than 2/3 of the bridge length. I suspect what you perceive as a hanging columella is more nostril rim notching than it is hanging columella. If you document airway collapse with breathing at least part of your revision surgery would be covered by your health insurance.
You should get a copy of your original surgery report for prospective surgeons to review at consultation. You situation is complex so you should see more than one surgeon before deciding what to do. You are likely going to need revision of the entire procedure including septoplasty and multiple cartilage grafts to prevent collapse of the airway when breathing. Tread carefully going forward because your best chance is with a good first revision.
My response to your question/post does not represent formal medical advice or constitute a doctor patient relationship. You need to consult with i.e. personally see a board certified plastic surgeon in order to receive a formal evaluation and develop a doctor patient relationship.
Revision Rhinoplasty
The first step for revision rhinoplasty would be to obtain a physical examination and a good set of photographs. Loss of nasal support would be addressed by restoration of the support if necessary with cartilage grafts. The Hanging columella would require resection of the caudal septum.
Web reference: http://www.rhinoplastychicago.com
Nostril show and alar collapse following rhinoplasty.
Excessive nostril show following rhinoplasty typically results from excessive resection of the lateral crus of the lower lateral cartilage. The lower lateral cartilages provide support and are the major determinants of nostril shape. Over resection of the lateral crus of the lower lateral cartilages can result in lost support leading to collapse and obstruction during breathing. In addition the nostril margins can retract superiorly resulting in alar margin retraction and increased nostril show. Revision rhinoplasty to improve these problems is possible with the use of cartilage grafts. Specifically, alar margin grafts and lateral crural onlay or batten grafts can be used to help correct the problems you have described.
Mario J. Imola, MD, DDS, FRCSC.
Sometimes nostrils look larger after rhinoplasty, which is really from weakening of the tip cartilages
A number of patients come in for revision rhinoplasty with nostrils that have become wider as well as weaker after prior surgery. This is often a result of loss of nostril support. By having too much cartilage removed and/or weak cartilages to start with, the nostrils pull upward causing what we call rim retraction.
The best way to treat weak, flared nostrils from prior surgery is to restore strength and structure with cartilage grafts. The best source for these grafts is your own septum. If the nasal septal cartilage has been operated on already, sometimes we use cartilage from your ear.
The bottom line is, a specialist in revision rhinoplasty can often improve both the function and appearance of your nose with the same surgical manuvers.
Web reference: http://www.revisionrhinoplastyny.com/
Correction of retracted and collapsed nostrils
First off, a heartfelt thanks for your service to our country! As for your nose, it appears from your photos that your tip cartilages (lower lateral cartilages) have lost support, perhaps from being over-resected. This can result in retraction of the nostril rims and collapse of the external valves of the nose.
Correction of this problem involves replacing the structural support of these tip cartilages. This can be done by taking stronger pieces of cartilage from the septum and placing them underneath the tip cartilages, creating what are called lateral crural strut grafts. These can be placed in such a way that they push the nostril rims downward, so that there is less nostril visibility from the side. Rim grafts or composite grafts (taken from the ear) could also be necessary, depending on the degree of retraction. The infratip and hanging columella can also be straightened by placement of a piece of cartilage between the medial crura of the tip cartilages, a graft called a columellar strut or c-strut. This will further reduce the amount of visible nostril.
The best advice I can offer is that you seek a consultation with a surgeon who specializes in revision rhinoplasty. Make sure he or she understands your concerns thoroughly and can show examples of having corrected these issues for other patients.
Best regards,
Dr. Mehta

Based on your photos it appears that you have alar retraction as the main cause of your nostril show. This requires cartilage grafting to fix.

Sophisticated Russian Intrusion

A Government Surplus Auction
A Flash Drive
Answer: A Flash Drive
In 2008, a U.S. military official stationed at a Department of Defense base was walking in from the parking lot and noticed a flash drive sitting on the ground. He picked the flash drive up, took it inside, and later in the day plugged it into a computer to see what was on it (ostensibly, to see if it was one of their flash drives or belonged to a co-worker).
That flash drive was actually loaded with malicious software and planted by a foreign operative. It loaded a worm, agent.btz, directly onto a computer connected to the Department of Defense network and linked to the United States Central Command. The worm exploded across the network and the Pentagon spent over a year tracking it down and purging it.
The devastating result of this simple social engineering trick led to new policies regarding removable media and, more importantly, the development of the United States Cyber Command, a division of the United States Strategic Command tasked with cyber security.

For easy cool weather cooking, try braising
Cool days call for cooking that is low, slow and wet. Which is to say, braised.
And it's simpler than you might think. Braising is just a matter of cooking food, usually meat, for a long period at a low temperature and submerged in some kind of liquid. Pot roasts are a good example. Many foods cooked in a slow cooker also qualify.
Beef stews are another great example. A long, slow simmer is used to break down and tenderize cuts of meat that otherwise would be tough and unappealing. And this is true for all manner of meats. Goat and lamb, especially the shanks, frequently are braised to produce succulently tender meals.
This is why many braising recipes call for the fattier or tougher cuts of meat. The added benefit is that these also tend to be the cheapest cuts. For example, chicken thighs would be a good choice for braising, while chicken breasts would not. Pork shoulder would be another option, rather than the lean tenderloin.
Of course, braising doesn't have to be limited to meat. Vegetables also can be braised. Fibrous vegetables (such as fennel or winter greens) and root vegetables (such as parsnips and carrots) take particularly well to braising. The technique is done the same as for meat, though vegetables don't take as long to braise.
Often in braising you'll find that the meat or veggies are seared prior to adding the liquid. This deepens the flavor. The browning and caramelizing of the surfaces serves to flavor the liquid and the finished dish. Liquid and seasonings then are added to come half to two-thirds up the side of the food. Then the dish is brought to a low simmer and kept that way.
Braising can be done over a low heat on the stove, or at moderate heat in the oven. Usually the pot remains covered for the majority of the cooking.
Either way, this is a relatively hands-off process. Once the dish is cooking, you just let it do its thing. For our braising recipe, we opted for short ribs. Short ribs are the perfect cut of meat to be braised. They have quite a bit of marbling and can be tough if not properly cooked. You can get short ribs off the bone, but for the best flavor, opt for on-the-bone.
We're braising in a tangy blend of balsamic vinegar and seasoned stock. A lot of the flavor comes from the caramelizing of the meat and the vegetables, so don't skimp on the browning. After the meat is tender, we boil the liquid down to a glaze. Serve the short ribs and their glaze over mashed potatoes, creamy polenta or egg noodles.
In a large, heavy-bottomed pot such as a Dutch oven, heat the oil over medium. Working in batches so as not to crowd the pan, sear the short ribs for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or until well browned. Transfer the short ribs to a plate.
Add the leeks, onions, carrots, celery and garlic to the pot and cook until well browned, stirring occasionally, about 12 to 15 minutes. Add the red pepper flakes, salt, pepper and tomato paste, then cook until the tomato paste turns a brick reddish-brown color, about 6 to 7 minutes.
Add the Dijon mustard, rosemary sprigs, balsamic vinegar and brown sugar. Scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Return the short ribs to the pot, then add the beef stock. Bring the mixture up to a low simmer and cover.
The pot can be left on the stovetop on low heat or placed in a 325 F oven for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or until the short ribs are very tender when pierced with a fork.
Carefully transfer the meat to a platter. Cover with foil and a couple kitchen towels to keep warm. Using a slotted spoon, remove and discard the solids from the liquid. Bring the liquid to a boil on the stovetop and cook until reduced to 1 cup. Drizzle the glaze over the short ribs and serve.

Fisher International, consultant to the pulp and paper industry headquartered in Norwalk, Conn., has named Szymon Siuda as a senior consultant for its recently opened Europe Office.
Fisher says the move reflects an increase in demand for the consulting company's products and services among European paper industry suppliers and producers. The company adds that the new office marks the recognition of Europe's growing interest in the Asian paper manufacturing market, an area where Siuda has significant experience.
"The fact that Fisher International established new offices and research assets in China last year sparked a lot of interest among suppliers who need reliable market intelligence to compete for a seat at the Asian table," notes Stanley Okoro, Fisher International general manager. "No matter what the size of a company, to be effective in such a vast market, resources must be allocated judiciously; every decision has to be made with analytic discipline and supported by data. We're also seeing an awakening on the producer side as European paper companies brace themselves to compete with China for commodities if not markets."
Suida says, "The European paper industry is focused on the opportunities and threats that Asia represents. Serious players are investing in information to leverage their positions because that's where they'll get the greatest return on investment at this point. The stakes are very high, and it's virtually impossible to recover from a missstep resulting from unreliable or incomplete market intelligence. These are not issues that can be managed with predigested thinking and canned answers."
He continues, "The questions being asked require reliable asset data and unique, customized solutions which is why more people are turning to Fisher International. The mission for the consulting team in Europe is to make sure clients capitalize on the benefits FisherSolve delivers so that our Asia intelligence pays dividends."
