"Love these cards! so cute and perfect. I had a last minute change and Tinyprints edited it for me before producing the invites. I also think I should have ordered more than I did. We have a huge family and I want everyone to have a card!"
"I was beyond happy and amazed with the customer service and product. For some reason I wasn't able to place my order online, so I called. Not only did the representative place my order, she made a correction which I hadn't caught. The invites came quicker than expected, and they are beautiful. I've recommended this company to everyone and will use them forever."
"When my daughter told me her theme was whales, I was happy to find this beautiful card. I had so many complements of how cute the invites are. I placed on order on a Sunday afternoon. Then on Monday morning I realized I had made a mistake. I call customer service right away and was able to quick fix the typo. I will use TinyPrints again. Happy Grandma to be"
"Adorable invitation. I made the overall text black to stand out more. I BOLDED the Mommy to Bee's name to stand out. I added more text to the invitation that didn't seem to fit. After doing so, I called Cust. Service and they shifted the text upward to make all fit nicely then placed my order verbally over the phone. I even increased the font on the overall text a bit larger - this came out so nice! Customer service was wonderful! I used the Designer review and worked with Paul who helped create this adorable invitation and matching Thank you notes. I even received a hand written thank you note from Paul thanking me for the business. I would use TinyPrints again!"

text: ^^ Please read, absorb, and tell all the above to yourself Iceman. You are the one conjuring up and seemingly focused on the "dark side" of things. You apparently neither know, understand, nor wish to know and understand exactly who Michelle Kwan is and what her life and career are all about. If to you she is just about "ambition," well continue on in your ignorance. For those who are interested, here's my opinion: Michelle Kwan, in my estimation is all about light, love, family, hard work, dedication, determination, courage, defining purpose, looking forward, inspiring others, spreading happiness and joy, learning from disappointments, never giving up, striving to keep resentment and regret from clouding her mind, staying present in her life, giving back to others in whatever way she can, serving her country, being positive, sharing laughter. As a result of all of Michelle's extraordinary qualities, guess what? People from all walks of life are drawn to her, admire her, and opportunities and abundance grace her life. Far from being overly or negatively ambitious and/ or thinking she's entitled, I believe Michelle is very humble and appreciative of all the good things that have come her way. But more than that, she does not "plot ambitiously" nor does she simply bask in all the adulation and abundance. IMO, Michelle seems to wake up thinking, "Besides the many things I must do today to achieve my goals and push forward with my life, how can I be a better person today? What can I do to help make someone else's life better? Michelle Kwan spreads light, love, laughter and inspiration wherever she goes. Is she perfect? Of course not. She would probably be the first person to admit that fact. Ultimately, this is what makes her so charming and appealing. Michelle is grounded and down to earth, and at the same time she remains utterly unpretentious. She deeply touches everyone who "gets" her very human yet heavenly majestic qualities. She is indeed, the Kween!

Lot skin after going from 305 to 213 and having 5 kids and gastric by pass
Will I Benefit from Tummy Tuck and Lip on Flanks?
Doctor Answers 12
Tummy tuck and liposuction
Getting liposuction with a tummy tuck can help give a more shapely figure
Liposuction is a nice addition to a tummy tuck to help remove the diet and exercise resistant fat of the love handles and the upper bra/back fat. I routinely do both procedures at the same time safely and effectively. This changes the results from a 'home run' to a 'grand slam'! Adding liposuction doesn't add to much to the recovery or discomfort. The tummy tuck is wonderful for flattening the belly and for removing the excess skin and stretch marks of the belly. After a brief overnight stay in the hospital to help aid recovery, I recommend taking 1-2 weeks off of work and exercise. I'm available 24/7 to my patients for any and all questions.
Web reference: http://www.baltimoreplasticsurgery.com/Procedures_TummyTuck_865369.aspx
Will I Benefit from Tummy Tuck and Lip on Flanks?
You sound like a good candidate for a tummy tuck with liposuction. You should see a board certified plastic surgeon for your evaluation and surgical plan.

Tummy tuck
Congratulations on the weight loss. You sound like a good candidate for the tummy tuck, but you need to make sure you have lost all the weight from the bypass and be at a stable weight. Even without photos, it seems likely that you need a TT. As far as lipo is concerned, there are areas that can be suctioned at the same time as the tummy tuck. This is very commonly done. Talk to your surgeon about what the options are for you. Good luck!
Web reference: http://edelsonplastic.com/body/tummy-tuck/
After massive weight loss
you can be assured a tummy procedure would be beneficial... its is harder to comment on liposuction since it is dependent on fat still being present. You could possibly require a total body lift instead. You need to see a local surgeon and be evaluated in person and have your health history reviewed to ensure its a safe journey for you.
Will I Benefit from Tummy Tuck and Lip on Flanks
Without a photo it is hard to give specific advice, but chances are with your weight loss those procedures will be of enormous benefit. As to timing--if you are still losing weight, getting closer to your goal weight makes sense. Results will be better, risks of complications will be lower.
Best wishes.
Tummy Tuck and Liposuction after Weight Loss and Gastric Bypass
Most patients who have had gastric bypass and a 100 lb. weight loss are good candidates for a tummy tuck or body lift and possibly liposuction. Due to the weight loss the skin can become quite saggy resulting in the skin overhanging over the pubic area. Unfortunately, exercise cannot improve the loose skin and only a tummy tuck can adequately address this problem. Check with your primary doctor to see if you are in good enough health to have the surgery. Best wishes.

Tummy tuck following weight loss
Your question is one that many patients are faced with following weight loss and it is a particularly difficult delimma following the loss of a significant amount of weight such as yourself. There are a variety of procedures designed to remove the excess tissue and each is dependent upon where you carried your weight when you were heavier. Though weight loss patients will often have skin that simply does not retract as well following liposuction, no plastic surgeon can advise you without first assessing the quality of the skin in that area. For example, I have had patients with 150 lbs of weight loss that needed a tummy tuck with flank liposuction while another with 75 lbs of weight loss needed a circumferential lower body lift. The only way to tell where you fall is get an expert opinion. Thanks and good luck.
Will I Benefit from Tummy Tuck and Lip on Flanks?
Patients with such massive weight loss generally do better with a lower body lift to get rid of abdominal skin excess circumferentially. Liposuction just makes loose skin looser.
Tummy Tuck After Gastric Bypass
Dear Shanetha San,
Congratulations on your recent weight loss.
After significant weight loss, many patients such as yourself are left with loose, hanging skin. In most cases, body contouring procedures such as the tummy tuck or body lift can help eliminate the sagging skin.
Please see an experienced, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon to discuss your concerns.
Warmest wishes,
Larry Fan, MD
San Francisco, CA USA

Ahhh Fall, can you feel it finally? I need to pull out my warm comfy socks! As my niece would say, "my tootsies are cold!"
I made a whole chicken in the crock pot last week, and saved the the stock, and leftover chicken. So now I can make my second dish, still in one pot. I said I was going to put a twist on a comfort soup. When I was out to lunch with fellow bloggers the other day at Zoe's Kitchen, I was inspired by a side dish. I ordered per my servers recommendations, the white beans with rosemary. Rosemary is one of my favorite herbs to work with, it is so lovely, and fragrant.
I made white bean and vegetable soup, with fresh rosemary. Normally I would not add the chicken, but what a great way to use a leftover right?
I soaked the Great Northern Beans for about an hour. When soaking beans, make sure you have about an inch of water above the beans, it gives them room to expand.
Here is the stock I reserved from the first dish.
Be sure to remove the fat from the top of the stock- there's no need to have that extra unwanted fat in your dish. Just lift off with a spoon, and I recommend discarding in the garbage.
The stock looks like jello, don't let that scare you away. Just place in a pot, and warm it up. Within seconds it starts to cook down, and look happy again.
Once the stock is cooked down you can still see some fat, so be sure to strain the stock.
I did add about two more cups of water, with the two cups of reserved stock, in the crock pot. I wanted the dish to still have that fun, walking-down-memory-lane feel to it. I remember my mom making delicious bean soup when I was a child. The house always smelled amazing. So I decided to just add carrots, celery, onion, and garlic to the soup. The leaves on the top of the celery- be sure to cut them up too, they really give a lot of flavor to the dish. The garlic you add all depends on your preference, we love garlic in this house. You really can never have too much garlic in a dish.
It is ready to do its magic now!
I started putting everything together in the morning about 10 am, and set the crock pot for eight hours so dinner was ready for the nighttime football game. Nothing is better then football, Fall, and comfort food right?
About 3 hours before the soup was done cooking, I added the leftover chicken, and chopped a bunch of fresh rosemary very finely. I also added salt, pepper and dried thyme as I didn't have fresh thyme in my garden.
All cooked!
Time to enjoy some warm soup!
What is your favorite soup to make on a cool Fall day?
Until next time, Come on in, Have a seat,
Hugs, Terra

When hair gets cut, it grows back. When nails get clipped, they grow back. When baby teeth fall out, adult ones grow in. So, as an adult, if a tooth gets pulled, cracked, or decays past the point of being structurally sound, why won't it just grow back? What is so different about those hard, bony,enamel-coated structures in my jaw that makes them impossible to regenerate once removed? In a simple, one-word answer: nature.
Teeth are amongst the most long lasting features in mammals, human in particular. Primary teeth erupt into the mouth from around six months until two years of age. These teeth are the only ones in the mouth until a person is about six years old. It is then that the first permanent molar commonly erupts. The rest of the baby teeth fall out over time, being replaced by adult teeth, usually through the age of fourteen. Then that's it. New teeth will never grow in or erupt from your gums again. As human beings, we are known as Diphyodont. Essentially, that means an animal with two successive sets of teeth. The deciduous (first set), consecutively followed by the permanent. After the second or permanent set, there is no third. Aside from humans, most mammals are Diphyodont, as they require a full set of durable teeth to chew food. In contrast, some species are known as Polyphyodont, meaning an animal whose teeth are continuously replaced. Reptiles and most other vertebrates, fall under this category. Sharks in particular, have an estimated couple thousand of teeth in their lifetime. Lastly, there is Monophyodont, meaning only one set of teeth erupt and stay for life. This is the case with most rodents.
Unless you have a freak circumstance of extra adult teeth hiding away in your gums, (which can be detected by x-rays) do not expect a new tooth to replace a lost, damaged or extracted permanent tooth. That is why our last set are called "permanent" teeth; we won't ever get new ones. It's just the way we were created. So, it's extra important to take care of what we've been given!

Gone With the Wind: 7 secrets to surviving flatulence (intestinal gas) in pets
Despite the cheeky title, flatulence can be a serious business, indeed. You'll agree with me if you've ever lived with a bulldog or boxer. And you'll understand this perfectly if your pet suffers from certain chronic gastrointestinal disorders.
Yet in vet school I don't recall this topic ever getting its due. The flashier subjects of diarrhea and vomiting always overshadowed "excessive intestinal gas production" when discussing the category of gastrointestinal ailments.
And while that's understandable, flatulence needn't be ignored. It, too, deserves to be treated with respect. After all, pets who suffer it aren't just annoying you, they're bodies are telling us something about how they're ingesting and/or digesting (or failing to digest) the foods we offer them.
Make no mistake: Flatulence is100% normal and physiologically appropriate in most cases. But even when it is, that doesn't mean it's welcome punctuation to our pets' post-prandial slumbers.
Nope. It's no more comfortable to them than what happens to us humans after a bowl of legume-loaded, three-engine chili or a plate overflowing with black beans and rice.
But Beano isn't always on the menu. Indeed, some discussion of this on the Veterinary Information Network's internal medicine forum described it as "probably non-toxic" but likely not helpful. Sure, that's not science but it doesn't sound like a ringing endorsement, does it?
So what does help?
First, a diagnosis is in order. Why exactly is it we've got so much nasty gas coming out the business end of nature's most efficient composter? Here's a short list of possibilities:
Too much gas going in
• Wolfing food down causes excess air ingestion
• Chewing certain toys or rawhide-style chewies may cause chronic, inappropriate ingestion of air
Too much gas production inside the digestive tract (bacteria, the gut's co-digesters release gas during digestion)
• Dietary intolerances
• Food allergies (sometimes it's not just the skin affected)
• Bacterial overgrowths secondary to dietary indiscretion (garbage eating, etc.)
• Chronic bowel diseases (as diverse as parasitism and cancer)
• Pancreatic disorders
To determine the causes, stool checks, bloodwork, X-rays and ultrasound are the standard methods. But sometimes endoscopy (think colonoscopy), abdominal exploratory surgery and CT scans are required to get to the bottom of it—yes, even flatulence disorders can be hard to diagnose.
Most of us stop short of the invasive methods when it comes to something as seemingly silly as gas. But where there's smoke, sometimes there's fire. That's why severe acute or worsening conditions are often best dealt with a more aggressive look-see.
For most common gas issues, however, I like to try the simple tricks they never taught us in vet school. Here's a list of "it's worth a try" methods best employed after you're vet's done her basic workup and can't find an obvious source of the dilemma:
A change of diet
Perhaps some ingredient is giving her the gas. Just like people, pets can be intolerant of proteins and/or carbohydrates. Eliminating ingredients one by one every week or two is probably the best approach but simply picking out a new, lower-residue diet has worked for many pets whose owners are more time-challenged (as always, please make drastic diet changes slowly by mixing in the new diet carefully for a week).
For pets who are potentially allergic to foods, a diet using novel proteins and carbohydrates is recommended. Switching (again, slowly) to a diet with none of the same proteins and carbohydrates fed previously might make the difference. I usually start with Hill's Z/D if I suspect this—an eight week trial is recommended.
Feed smaller meals more often
Some pets are just pigs, gulping mouthfuls of air along with their food. Slowing the process down helps and frequent smaller feedings is one way to accomplish this.
Check out the chewie action
Is she gulping as she goes? Pay attention, you might learn something!
Fortiflora, Pet Flora or another probiotic
Sure, some pets respond to simple yogurt (preferably laced with extra acidophilus cultures, as in Activia), but these commercial pet probiotics seem to work best for our carnivores. Daily or every-other-day treatment is typically required.
Apparently, some gastrointestinally-focused internal medicine specialists like charcoal tablets to speed the nasty bacteria through the GI tract. I've never tried it but, safe at it is, it's worth a shot, right?
Yes, as in Gas-Ex. Ask your vet for the dose.
Check your breed forums or your breeder
Some breeds are uniquely sensitive to certain proteins or carbohydrates. For example, I've heard that elkhounds can't tolerate peanut butter for all the gas it gives them. Go figure.
I know you all have more ideas. Give 'em up…

So time is running out to get your heart beat racing and the blood in your veins pumping overtime! Halloween is just 5 days away and by this time of year, I am always looking forward to scary movies on television but usually end up watching ghost story reruns on the Travel Channel or the ten millionth episodes of Ghost Hunters, Ghost Adventures, and whatever other ghost hunter has a "reality" show on TV these days.
Back in the day, I loved a Halloween weekend sleepover with a couple of friends which included a trip to the movie rental store where we picked out a few movies we'd never seen before. I remember a certain one called Sleepaway Camp that still disturbs me when I think about it to this day.
When I was older and spending Halloween at home alone passing out candy, I'd watch reruns of Nightmare on Elm Street or Friday the 13th. I still remember how good those Freddie movies were, especially part 2 or 3 with the wayward kids in that home. Freddie using that one kid's veins to walk him down the hall like a puppet was just creepy!
I loved all the Psycho films too, except for the remake with Vince Vaughn. One of my favorites is the prequel where Norman is on the phone with the talk radio show host throughout most of the film. Speaking of Hitchcock, let's not forget The Birds or Rebecca. I've seen Rebecca only once. It never comes on TV anymore!! It's been on my mind all this month and I'm tempted to just break down and buy it already. J has never seen it. It's such a classic!
Let's not forget all the great Stephen King films – Pet Sematary, It, The Shining, Carrie, Cujo, Creepshow. I watched Pet Sematary again just a few weeks ago when I caught in on TV. It's not a very good film as far as the acting goes, but was definitely scary. Gage, after he comes back from the grave, killing Herman Munster with Daddy's scalpel was definitely scary!
These days "scary" films that grab my attention are more mental and less horror. I care less for films like Saw and Hostel and the remakes of Texas Chainsaw that showcase all the blood and gore. Give me a good thriller like Six Sense, The Grudge, Let the Right One End, or The Ring anyday. That dead girl crawling out of the TV set was wicked the first time I saw it. But that's the bad thing about these films sometimes…see them once and all the mystique is gone after that. We know how it ends and can never really have that thrill again. But…that's the sign of a good film, is it not? And let's not forget that even The Grudge, Let The Right One, and The Ring were remakes of foreign films.
I don't consider them horror either but Silence of the Lambs and Red Dragon are still two of my top two thrillers of all time. As far as something a big darker, I love all of the Underworld films and can't wait for the new one next year.
So what do you prefer? Do you like your Halloween flicks with a bit of monster and mayhem or more blood and guts and stuff?

Jada Pinkett Smith discusses work to end human trafficking with CNN
Actress and singer Jada Pinkett Smith sat down recently with CNN to discuss her activism in the movement to end human trafficking, citing her 11-year old daughter Willow as the catalyst for becoming involved.
After watching the KONY 2012 video about Ugandan warlord Joseph Kony, Ms Pinkett Smith explained, Willow began researching human trafficking and realized there were girls in her own country - her own age - being trafficked for sex. "She came to me and was like 'Mom I have to got to lend my voice to this issue…I can't believe this is happening. We have to do something."
Seeing her daughter's passion, Ms Pinkett Smith decided to educate herself about the crime. "I was really quite ashamed that I didn't know this was happening," she told CNN's Jonathan Mann.
Over the past few months Ms Pinkett Smith has become a vocal activist against trafficking. The singer joined forces with Salma Hayek to launch the ' Don't Sell Bodies' campaign to raise awareness about the sexual exploitation of women and girls around the world. You can watch their music video ('Nada Se Compra') here:

Fine wine lost in lorry smash
Up to 18,000 bottles of Saint Emilion Grand Cru have been lost after a lorry transporting them overturned in rural France yesterday.
The bottles of 2011 Chateau Saint Dominique were being transported from the estate towards nearby Castillon when the driver lost control at a round about in the vicinity of Saint Sulpice de Faleyrens, as reported by French newspaper Sud Ouest.
The French took to twitter, aghast, with Bruno Aujard commenting, "I've seen some bad things, but this is a catastrophe."
The driver of the vehicle was taken to a nearby hospital as a precaution but was understood to be unhurt.
French police created a cordon around the site and the broken bottles were removed by hand.

A 'Sad Day' for Scouting
In a move that will undoubtedly have sweeping implications for the Boy Scouts of America (BSA), the more than 1,400 delegates gathered in Grapevine, Texas, near Dallas, at the BSAs national meeting Thursday passed a resolution that will allow homosexual boys to participate fully in its programs. More than 60 percent of the delegates voted for the proposal.
Homosexual adults will still be banned from leadership in Scouting.

Ambergris Caye
Ambergris Caye
Ambergris Caye (pronounced key) is the largest of Belize's nearly 200 offshore coral sand islets and atolls, and the most popular destination in Belize,
primarily because of its proximity to the largest coral reef in the western hemisphere, the Belize Barrier Reef, and the extraordinary underwater activities and attractions available here.
Accessible by commuter plane in 15-20 minutes, or by water taxi in an hour, Ambergris Caye, is a premiere destination for underwater, snorkeling, and fishing devotees, and the super relaxed nearby town of San Pedro, is the perfect place to relax and discuss the day's adventures under gently swaying palms.

|The Age home > Realfooty > Article
The final composition of the side Brisbane will take into today's grand final against Collingwood remained a mystery last night, after Nigel Lappin completed a training session described as "make or break" by coach Leigh Matthews.
Lappin, who is in doubt with a rib injury, seemed to do all that was asked of him at yesterday's final training run at the Albert Ground, increasing Brisbane's dilemma over how many injured players it can take into today's match.
Collingwood coach Mick Malthouse added to the intrigue, claiming his own side was by no means settled.
"The players are fully aware that that side doesn't necessarily have to be the side, and may not be the side," Malthouse said.
Speaking before training, Matthews said Lappin had a lot of work to do if he was going to convince selectors to include him in the side. "He didn't train Wednesday, so he hasn't done anything to prove himself," he said. "He has got to be able to do what he has got to do in a game. We've given him a week to settle down before we find that out."
Lappin had an injection before training, and after going through drills with the main squad, he paired off with teammate Aaron Shattock for some one-on-one exercises, which included tackling.
Lappin appeared to have trouble bending down, and will almost certainly be restricted in his movement if he plays today.
Meanwhile, captain Michael Voss barely took part in the session, which was held in intermittent rain and hail. Similar conditions are forecast today.
Voss did little more than handball drills away from the main group, and only an hour earlier was spotted at the Melbourne Sports and Aquatic Centre swimming laps under the supervision of Brisbane's strength and conditioning coach Craig Starcevich.
The inspirational skipper, who has been hampered by a knee injury all season, emphasised that he would still have a big role to play this afternoon.
"If I was a liability to the side, I wouldn't play," Voss said. "My ability to be able to go out there and compete - I'm very confident that I can do that for the four quarters if needed."
While the Lions prepare to go in with several players under injury clouds, Malthouse said he would not entertain the thought of playing anyone less that 100 per cent fit.
"We are not taking anyone in who can't get through a game . . . under the heat that we expect from Brisbane," Malthouse said.
Although several Lions are nursing injuries, Malthouse said he would be surprised if the Magpies ran out the game better, given the Lions kicked six goals to none in the final quarter of last week's preliminary final win over Sydney.
"Given that both sides played last week on the same day with the same preparation for this week, I don't know that that is going to be the case," Malthouse said. "With national football these days, it's rarely Saturday to Saturday, so you just condition yourself accordingly."
Malthouse said his side was balanced enough to win its first premiership since 1990, despite the absence of key forward Anthony Rocca.
Collingwood had 11 goal-scorers in last week's win over Port Adelaide, and will need a similar return if they are to topple the Lions without Rocca. "If you get too tied up in one player, or two or three or four players, you are not going to win too often in the big games," Malthouse said.
"You've got to spread the workload and have the confidence in any player that comes into your group that they will perform to their optimum for their teammates."
Matthews said that although Collingwood would still take 22 players into the match, there was no doubt the loss of Rocca was a big blow. "He is a great asset to their team. We don't have to kid ourselves, if he's not there, that is one less of their major assets that is not there."

We Are Family in trouble because of Dabangg
Dharma Productions and Arbaaz Khan Productions are facing a lot of problem to arrange the single theaters for the screening of their respective movies. Dharma Productions wants a two-week commitment from a few theatres for We Are Family which stars Kareena Kapoor, Kajol and Arjun Rampal. But all the single screen theaters are not willing to commit this because they want to cash in on Salman Khan"s Dabangg, which will be released in the second week.
A source from the industry was quoted saying that We Are Family makers want two weeks commitment from single theatres, which is not acceptable to most of them. These theaters have informed about their objection to Karan Johar and UTV Motion Pictures.
Owner of Maratha Mandir, Manoj Desai said that why Karan is so adamant about two weeks if he is confident about We Are Family. He added that Karan should allow his film to speak.
Santosh Bhatia, exhibitor of Premiere in Dadar and Premier Gold in Dongri said that he wouldn"t like to lose on a film like Dabangg. He said that he would have agreed to give two week"s commitment if Dabangg would not be releasing the following week.

I have light skin with neutral undertones and I purchased the peach color. Wasn't sure about this color at first but it had so many good reviews; I just went for it. It is the perfect quick skin brighten for me. Give me light even coverage in a flash. But I do have to use a beauty sponge to make sure the brush marks disappear .4
I had been wanting to purchase this for a very long time, and I am glad I did! The reason it took me so long to finally take the plunge and buy it is because I had such a hard time finding good swatches of the colors. I have extremely fair skin with neutral undertones and the lightest shade in this is so pink! But the other colors looked like they would be too orange, too yellow, or just too dark in general. So I did end up purchasing the Rosy Light. I absolutely adore the formula of this foundation, it goes on super smoothly, it's very light reflecting which I love, and it smells like fresh roses! But I am disappointed in the color I bought, even though I'm sure it's probably the best match out of all of them for me. It is just soo pink. Since it is so pink I cannot wear this alone like I would have wanted to. I mainly use it under my eye area, down my nose, and on top of my cheek bones to highlight, which it does beautifully. I just wish there was a very fair with neutral undertones option in this! My only other complaint aside from the color range is the fact that it is in a brush dispenser. I loathe that you have to put it on with the brush that it is attached to. It just seems really gross to me to have to keep pumping this lovely foundation through a stiff, crusty brush that doesn't blend very well. I always end up using my own brushes with this anyway so it just seems silly to me! But anyway, this foundation is simply beautiful and if you are looking for a very sheer, illuminating foundation/highlighting concealer this is it.4
I just received this. I really didn't know what to expect because it's not in stores around here to try out. I ordered the rosy light color because I have fair skin. Although my skin is yellow toned the pink color blends in so nice and looks very natural. It dries really matte and also has a really amazing amount of coverage. Very easy to apply with the brush as well.5
I have light skin with a yellow tones. I chose Vanilla. At first I wasn't too happy about the fragrance but it grew on me. Although there are complaints about the brush, here's a trick. I push up the button a couple times apply to face. Then, use a makeup sponge to distribute, swipe the brush several times on the sponge and use any excess. My brush looks good all the time. You don't need much of this make up. It distributes well, make my complexion look wonder and has a light to medium coverage. At first I didn't think the color matched, but it blended and disappeared beautifully.5

WikiLeaks Reveals Diplomatic Cables on Aafia Siddiqui
WikiLeaks Reveals Diplomatic Cables on Aafia Siddiqui - by Stephen Lendman
Earlier articles about her can be accessed through the following links:
On September 23 in federal court, she was sentenced to 86 years in prison, though committed no crime. It's a gross miscarriage of justice, compounding what's she's already endured, following her March 30, 2003 abduction, imprisonment, torture, prosecution, and conviction on spurious charges.
Through sentencing she was in New York City solitary confinement and may still be there, pending transfer to Federal Medical Center (FMC) Carswell in Fort Worth, TX, a hellhole described as a facility "provid(ing) specialized medical and mental health services to female prisoners." If she's there long-term, it'll be a death sentence, its harshness precipitating it sooner, not later.
On November 4, Yvonne Ridley called it "CarsHELL," citing its past 10 year record, including:
-- over 100 young women dying under "questionable circumstances with families unable to obtain autopsy reports;"
-- instances of sex abuse, including sodomy and rape committed by "prison chaplain Vincent Bassie" until he was charged and convicted in 2008;
-- a prison doctor convicted of sex abuse; another one never charged for the same crime;
-- a prison guard convicted of raping a detainee; an earlier article explained rampant sexual abuse and mistreatment of female prisoners by guards and prison officials, accessed through the following link:
-- gross medical negligence, what's commonplace throughout America's gulag for men, women and children;
-- "forced psychotropic medication on reluctant detainees;" and
-- an "infestation of ants went unchecked even when one patient in a coma was covered by biting creatures as was the corpse of another."
Ridley quoted The Fort Worth Weekly saying Carswell imprisonment "can be a death sentence for women prisoners." Incarceration there will continue her torture, abuse and violation of international and US law, as well as Bureau of Prisons regulations that aren't enforced so, in fact, are worthless.
US Diplomatic Cables Revealed
In several December 1 reports, the London Guardian discussed them, including its article headlined, "US embassy cables: Bagram officials deny detaining Aafia Siddiqui."
US deception and lies about her date from initial accusations, regarding a bogus plot to bomb New York landmarks, charges omitted from her indictment.
Though abducted while visiting family in Pakistan on March 30, 2003, the FBI, on April 4, denied she was captured and detained. On May 28, 2004, Pakistan's Interior Ministry confirmed she was turned over to US authorities in 2003 after no links with alleged terror groups were confirmed.
Later reports named her Bagram's "Prisoner 650." At the same time, US authorities denied holding any women there. It wasn't until July 31, 2008 that FBI officials told Siddiqui's brother that she was in US custody. Her family knew it years earlier.
The released cables contained no bombshell information. One dated July 31, 2008 said:
"Bagram officials have assured us that they have not been holding Siddiqui for the last four years, as has been alleged."
An October 29, 2008 cable denied knowledge of Siddiqui's children, even though her son was in US custody and two others at the time were missing. Pakistan's Acting Foreign Secretary, Khalid Babar, raised the issue with then ambassador Anne Patterson, who "made it clear that US authorities do not know the whereabouts of the children, who have never been in US custody, and noted that the Pakistani Embassy has been given full consular access to Siddiqui," a claim very much stretching the truth.
A November 13, 2008 cable said Pakistan's Prime Minister Yousuf "Gilani asked the US to release to GOP custody Dr. Aafia Siddiqui....argu(ing) that the needs of her family and reports of her being ill provided humanitarian grounds for such a transfer. He also argued that her case whipped up mass popular support, diverting his government's attention from the counterterrorism mission."
A February 12, 2010 cable said "a group of moderate Muslim religious leaders expressed very strong feelings about the Siddiqui case and the guilty verdict. The religious leaders were unified in their belief that Siddiqui did not receive a fair trial and called for mercy on the grounds that she was a women. They claimed that the verdict detracted from President Obama's efforts to reach out to the Muslim community and that he should step in and release Siddiqui as a show of good faith towards world Muslims."
The US Embassy said "Siddiqui had received a fair trial," when, in fact, it was rigged to convict.
A February 19, 2010 cable discussed a February 16 Gilani/Senator John Kerry meeting at which he:
"asked USG to consider repatriating Dr. Aafia Siddiqui on humanitarian grounds. He said that this was a very contentious issue in Pakistan, adding that by returning Dr. Siddiqui 'the US would be in the Pakistani people's good graces.' Both Gilani and Interior Minister Reham Malik assured Kerry that the GOP would honor the terms of Dr. Siddiqui's jail sentence, and suggested that she complete (it) under house arrest (in Pakistan). Kerry agreed to look into the prisoner transfer issue."
Likely not too hard as over nine months later, action didn't follow. Siddiqui is either in New York City isolation or at FMC "CarsHELL," perhaps there to die. If so, at least she'll have the peace she's been denied for over seven and a half years of brutal imprisonment, isolation and torture.
On December 1, Guardian writer Declan Walsh headlined, "WikiLeaks cables: Mystery deepens over Pakistan scientist Aafia Siddiqui," saying:
Her family insists she's innocent, "and that she spent the 'missing' five years between 2003 and 2008 in US detention at the Bagram base," US denials notwithstanding.
They've "been treated with skepticism by the Pakistani media, which has given credence to the family's account and dismissed US statements as part of a cover-up."
America's major media reacted otherwise, pronouncing guilt by accusation, biasing public opinion, branding her and other FBI targets "terrorists," as well all or most Muslims by implication.
In several articles, New York Times writers played along, including Benjamin Weiser in his September 23 account, headlined, "Pakistani Sentenced to 86 Years for Attack," saying:
She was convicted for "assault(ing) a team of American officers and agents who went to question her after her arrest that led to her conviction....on charges that included attempting to kill American officers and employees. She had been taken into custody in Ghazni, Afghanistan, after the local authorities became suspicious of her loitering outside the provincial governor's compound."
In fact, Weiser lied from top of paragraph to bottom.
Targeted for her faith, ethnicity, activism, passion for the oppressed, humble charity, and alleged connection to Khalid Sheikh Mohammed through marriage, she was home in Karachi visiting family. On March 30, 2003, en route to a flight to Rawalpindi, she was abducted by Pakistan's police or ISI at the behest of US officials, then turned over to them as requested.
Preposterous charges later accused her of the following:
In the presence of two FBI agents, two Army interpreters, and three US Army officers, this frail 110 pound woman allegedly assaulted three of them, seized one of their rifles, opened fire at point blank range, hit no one, yet she alone was severely wounded.
At trial, no credible evidence was presented. The accusations were concocted and spurious. None accused her of plotting to blow up New York or any other landmarks or facilities. Yet proceedings were carefully orchestrated. Witnesses were enlisted, pressured, coerced, and/or bribed to cooperate. Jurors were then intimidated to convict "based on fear, not fact," according to her attorney Elaine Whitfield Sharp.
Yet Weiser accepted the official account unskeptically, highlighting FBI director Robert Mueller calling her "an Al Qaeda operative and facilitator," carrying bomb-making instructions and a list of targets when arrested in 2008.
It was March 2003, five years earlier, unmentioned in Weiser's article, mostly presenting official distortions and lies, a New York Times speciality. This time he disparaged an innocent woman, condemned perhaps to perish in prison hell for being Muslim at the wrong time in America.

"God damn America", the U.S.! I think he was speaking [after] the fact though. It takes a damned country to act as the U.S. does and has been doing for a long time.
Pakistan should have never accepted to hand Aafia Siddiqui over to the U.S. or anyone else, but it's not like the U.S. would leave any real choice about this. Nevertheless, the Pakistani government should not have handed her over to the U.S.
A February 19, 2010 cable discussed a February 16 Gilani/Senator John Kerry meeting at which he:
"asked USG to consider repatriating Dr. Aafia Siddiqui on humanitarian grounds. He said that this was a very contentious issue in Pakistan, adding that by returning Dr. Siddiqui 'the US would be in the Pakistani people's good graces.' Both Gilani and Interior Minister Reham Malik assured Kerry that the GOP would honor the terms of Dr. Siddiqui's jail sentence, and suggested that she complete (it) under house arrest (in Pakistan). Kerry agreed to look into the prisoner transfer issue."
Likely not too hard as over nine months later, action didn't follow. Siddiqui is either in New York City isolation or at FMC "CarsHELL," perhaps there to die. If so, at least she'll have the peace she's been denied for over seven and a half years of brutal imprisonment, isolation and torture.
Kerry is part of the same dark "secret" organization as the Bushes, S&B, Skull & Bones, and like GW Bush, said that no details about S&B could be revealed. So this adds to other reasons for [not] trusting Kerry. He is not someone to trust, if what we want is honesty and truth, and President JF Kennedy condemned secret elite society crap in the U.S. and was inarguably right about this.
But I'm not sure to understand what's meant in the last of the above-excerpted paragraphs. She'll have "the peace she's been denied for over seven and a half years of brutal imprisonment, ...", through death, but that definitely is not the desirable course. She should be released and returned to her family. She and her family should also be compensated, but I don't know how this can [really] be done after what she's been put through. Money can't undo the past, experiences that someone has been subjected to as she has been, among others. Financial compensation and release need to be provided, and the financial compensation would surely help, materially, but there's no way that that can make up for what's been done to her. Release and return to family, no. 1; compensation, no. 2; and never repeat this sh*t ever f*cking again against anyone!
And "God damn the U.S.!".

"Wikileaks: Numerous Reasons to Dismiss US Claims that "Ghost Prisoner" Aafia Siddiqui Was Not Held in Bagram"
by Andy Worthington, Dec. 4, 2010
The article provides links.
In sifting through the avalanche of US diplomatic cables released by Wikileaks, only the Guardian, in the Western media, has picked up on cables from Islamabad relating to the case of Dr. Aafia Siddiqui, the Pakistani neuroscientist who disappeared with her three young children in Karachi on March 30, 2003, and did not reappear until July 17, 2008, in Ghazni, Afghanistan, where she was reportedly arrested by Afghan forces for acting strangely, allegedly carrying a bag that contained a list of US targets for terrorist attacks as well as bomb-making instructions and assorted chemicals. When US soldiers turned up, Dr. Siddiqui then reportedly seized a gun and shot at them. Although she failed to hit her targets, at point-blank range, she was herself shot twice in the abdomen, and was then rendered to the United States, where she was put on trial for attempted murder, and was convicted and given an 86-year prison sentence in September this year.
Dr. Siddiqui's supporters, and many commentators — myself included — who have examined her story have, for many years, had reason to doubt the official narrative about her capture in 2008, and her whereabouts for the previous five years.
While both the Pakistani and US authorities repeatedly denied that Dr. Siddiqui was in their custody between 2003 and 2008, and this is reiterated in one of the cables released by Wikileaks, in which US diplomats in Pakistan stated that "Bagram officials have assured us that they have not been holding Siddiqui for the last four years, as has been alleged," several former prisoners — and one still held — have stated that they saw her in Bagram. ...
In March 2010, at a rally organized by the Justice for Aafia Coalition, former Guantánamo prisoner Omar Deghayes stated that, as well as Binyam Mohamed, Hassan bin Attash (a former child prisoner who is still held in Guantánamo) and Dr. Ghairat Baheer (a former "ghost prisoner" held in various secret prisons in Afghanistan) also described seeing Aafia Siddiqui in Bagram. Omar said, "They told me how she cried and sobbed, how she screamed and cried and banged her head, in despair and sorrow."
The Justice for Aafia Coalition has also been gathering other testimony about Dr. Siddiqui's presence in Bagram from other sources, locating the following statement by Abu Yahya al-Libi, who escaped from Bagram in July 2005, which resonates with the recollections of Binyam Mohamed, Hassan bin Attash and Dr. Baheer:
In addition, two of Aafia Siddiqui's three children have stated that they were also held in custody during the period that their mother's whereabouts are unexplained, adding another chilling dimension to the story. ...
Mariam did not reappear until April this year, when unidentified men delivered her to her aunt's house. Now 12 years old, she was identified as Aafia Siddiqui's daughter (and Ahmed's sister) through DNA tests. At a press conference, Senator Talha Mehmood, the Chairman of the Senate Committee for the Interior, reported that Mariam "was recovered from Bagram airbase in the custody of an American — in the Urdu language press, an American soldier — called 'John.' He also said that she had been kept for seven years in a 'cold, dark room' in Bagram airbase." Although this story has not been independently verified, and it may be that Mariam was held in some other facility, no other explanation has been provided to explain her whereabouts for the previous seven years.
These are just some of the reasons to doubt the assertion made by US diplomats in Pakistan, in one of the cables released by Wikileaks, and also to doubt the conviction with which Declan Walsh followed up on the cable, writing in the Guardian, "Contrary to claims by supporters of Aafia Siddiqui, the controversial Pakistani neuroscientist was never imprisoned at the Bagram military prison in Afghanistan, the embassy cables suggest."
Other reasons to doubt the assertion include previously reported shadiness on the part of diplomats, who initially told the journalist Yvonne Ridley (who has spent many years doggedly pursuing the truth about Dr. Siddiqui) that no women had been held in Bagram, although it was later revealed that they had lied. ...
Even more significant is the well-chronicled failure of senior Bush administration officials to keep State Department officials in the loop about almost anything of substance to do with the "War on Terror."
In 2009, when I interviewed Col. Lawrence Wilkerson, Colin Powell's former Chief of Staff, Wilkerson told me, in no uncertain terms, that the State Department had been excluded from correspondence relating to the conduct of the "War on Terror," although the team gathered around Dick Cheney — a "War Council" consisting of just six men — had been monitoring the State Department's responses to the results of Cheney's activities. ...
If this sequence is correct — and it certainly makes a lot of sense — then it is appropriate to conclude that Dr. Siddiqui was held as a "ghost prisoner" in a secret prison, and it does not take too much reflection to realize that, as a result, her mysterious reappearance in Afghanistan in July 2008, the implausible story of her attempts to murder US soldiers (even though no fingerprints were found on the gun), her rendition to the United States rather than facing justice in Afghanistan, the sham of a trial that focused only on the murder attempt, and not on the terrorist materials allegedly found on her at the time of her capture, and the disproportionately large sentence are all part of a cover-up, designed to dispose of a used-up "ghost prisoner," who knew too much — and was, conceivably, too horribly abused — to be released.
For Aafia Siddiqui, the Federal Medical Center in Carswell, Texas, where she is now held, may not be quite as notorious as Abu Salim prison in Tripoli — where around 1,200 prisoners were killed in a massacre in 1996 — or Bagram, because of its dark fame in the "War on Terror," but to those in the know, it is, as Yvonne Ridley explained, known as the "Hospital of Horrors," where more than 100 young women "have died in the last 10 years under 'questionable circumstances' with families unable to obtain autopsy reports," and where there have been numerous cases of sex abuse.
Please write to Aafia at Carswell, not only to let her know that she has not been forgotten, but also because the most effective way to ensure that abusers think twice about their abuse is when they know that the outside world is watching — and is watching in large numbers. The address for the prison is here, and if you're interested, I urge you to take advantage of the Justice for Aafia Coalition's pre-printed cards, available here, which can easily be distributed to friends and family.

Frequently asked questions FOR RANOLAZ 1000mg tablet
Q. What is Ranolazine extended-release tablet?
Ranolazine extended release means the pill is formulated in such a manner that the drug is released slowly over time. This has the advantage of taking pills less often and also means that there may be fewer side effects as the levels of the drug in the body are more consistent.
Q. Do Ranolazine and trimetazidine act in the same way?
No. Both Ranolazine and Trimetazidine are used for the treatment of angina but they have different mechanisms. Trimetazidine improves glucose utilization of heart cells through inhibition of fatty acid metabolism. Ranolazine acts by blocking sodium current, reducing calcium overload and heart wall stress, leading to decreases oxygen requirement of the heart.
Show More
Q. Does Ranolazine decrease mortality?
No, Ranolazine does not decrease mortality.
Q. What if Ranolazine used by patients with coronary artery disease?
Coronary Artery Disease(CAD) or Ischemic Heart Disease (IHD) includes angina & heart attack. Ranolazine does not reduce the risk of death or recurrent heart attacks in patients, but it improves angina symptoms.
Q. Can I use rivaroxaban with Ranolazine?
If you have kidney disease, you should inform your doctor before using rivaroxaban together with Ranolazine. Combining these medications can increase the blood levels of rivaroxaban and increase the risk of serious bleeding complications. You may need a dose adjustment.

Abilene Police: Threatened woman pulls gun, staves off man
From Abilene Police Department spokesman George Spindler:
At about 11:25 a.m. Thursday, APD dispatch received a call from a concerned citizen about a known male subject at a residence in the 3800 block of Concord Drive. The calling party knew the resident and was concerned because of allegations that the subject present at the residence had harassed the resident and had forced his way into the home in the past. Officers responded to the call but were not able to locate the subject. During their preliminary investigation, officers learned through a records check that the subject had been previously warned not to return to the residence or he would be arrested for criminal trespass. They also learned that the subject had allegedly banged on the front door and brought a knife with him that was seen and used by the subject to sharpen a piece of wood. A report for misdemeanor Criminal Trespass was taken. Shortly after officers left the scene, the male subject returned and APD dispatch was notified of same. The calling party alleged that the male subject was armed with a knife. Officers Bryan Stevens and Kimberly Scalf responded to the call and learned that another involved party, a female, was now following the male subject away from the residence. Officers were able to locate the subject at North 15th and Meadowbrook and the male subject was detained. The preliminary investigation revealed that the female and male subjects had an encounter at the residence in the 3800 block of Concord Drive and that the female subject feared for her life during that encounter. The female alleged that the male subject had come towards her during their encounter and that she pulled a firearm from her purse. Officers learned that the female subject was a licensed concealed carry holder. The investigation further revealed that the female victim living at the residence, as well as the female victim that was confronted by the male subject, believed their lives to be in danger. Officers learned that the circumstances involved had been ongoing. An emergency protection order was requested. The male subject was arrested for felony Stalking. This investigation continues.
At about 6 p.m. Thursday, APD dispatch was notified by a concerned citizen that a van had just struck some poles in the area of 1500 E. S. 11th Street. The witness provided the description of the driver and the van as the van continued to travel away from the collision scene. Another concerned citizen notified APD about the collision and that the van had struck a stop sign. Officers Dan Henning, Chris Hall, Jody Peavy and Sterling Riddle responded to the call. The parked suspect vehicle was located by Officer Peavy in a grassy portion of Nelson Park (1700 block of Zoo Lane) shortly after the collision. Officer Peavy contacted a male subject whom was behind the wheel. Officer Peavy observed that the vehicle engine was still running. The subject told Officer Peavy that he had consumed alcohol. The subject conducted standard field sobriety tests which he performed poorly. Based on Officer Peavy's observations and findings from the preliminary investigation, including witness and evidence information, the subject was arrested. A records check confirmed that the subject had two previous convictions for DWI. The preliminary crash investigation revealed that the suspect van was traveling eastbound in the 1300 block of E. S. 11th when the vehicle crossed over into oncoming traffic and continued traveling into a ditch and struck a stop sign at 1000 Chaucer Drive. The stop sign crushed the top of the vehicle and broke out the sunroof. Several pieces of the debris from the vehicle were located at the collision scene. TXDOT was notified of the damage. No injuries were reported. Based on previous convictions, the subject was arrested for enhanced 3rd-degree felony DWI and a blood sample was taken from the subject. This investigation continues.
At about 8:35 p.m. Thursday, Officer Brady Broyles contacted a motorist for a traffic violation in the 1100 block of N. Mockingbird Lane. Officer Broyles contacted the driver and several passengers during his preliminary investigation. A records check revealed that a male passenger who identified himself by name and date of birth had six outstanding municipal arrest warrants. The subject was arrested for the warrants. However, his true identity was revealed when the subject was recognized to be someone with the same last name. The subject finally told the arresting officer his real name. A subsequent records check revealed that the subject was wanted on a felony probation warrant for aggravated kidnapping. The subject was arrested for his felony warrant and for the additional offense of misdemeanor Failure to Identify.
