text: I have exact same problem I got mortgage on my flat in a council owned block. Three doors to the communal stairwell (inc mine) I bought a new upvc door from council who supplied and fitted it back in 2006. Back last year they contacted me to say they needed to fit all new front doors and as I had bought mine from them (was buying it at time re monthly payments) they would give me this new one free of charge. I declined saying I like the one I had. Now they saying if my door does not meet regs, they will force me to buy new one from them and I know they cost £1000.00. I don't want a new door, I can't afford a new door ( lost job last year) and I am shocked to think anyone can force me to do this. Any advice would be most grateful. Ps am new to this forum so I hope it's easy to find any posts in reply. I am happy if someone wants to private message me.

Anyone getting 'taper depression'? I'm doing the Manchester M next week. Now can't be bothered to run at all, never mind over doing it and stressing out and packing in more runs, which is what people normally seem to do. Anyone the same?
Had to tweak taper because I spent this last weekend on a tennis hols, playing 4 hours tennis each day for 5 days. So no running then I think got me out of the groove. No idea if this was good or bad. At least I survived without a twisted ankle and of course there was lots of sun - why am I complaining!
Though I was immensely cheered just now because I had misread my Strava stats and for the last week thought I had averaged half the mileage I was supposed to over the last four months because of injury - how was I ever going to do it etc blah blah blah. Now I find I had keyed in the wrong time and had done twice as much as I thought, not even that far off what I wanted to do. What a prat!
In fact writing this has cheered me up immensely and got me back in the mood!
Good luck at the weekend all London Marathoners it looks like the weather will be perfect! Fingers crossed for rainy Manchester!
It won't make much difference whether you run or not during this week. Just enjoy your marathon.
It's natural to get sick of training and just want to get on with it.
Good luck.

Blimey that was quick. Thread's over, nothing to see here!
Have a cracking marathon!
I'm no psychiatrist, but that looks like rapid cycling (not the Wiggo type).
Have you been diagnosed with bipolar disorder?
Maybe her twin secretly took over typing at halfway when she got tired?
What is hilariously funny about my last post is that we can't see her typing, so it doesn't even need to be her twin. I kill me sometimes, I really do.
Tee hee, thanks folks! Will be back being depressed again in a minute when I get back from my run when I realise I can't run round the block, never mind 26miles.
BTW, I can't seem to put a pic up, it keeps saying Oops. You're not missing anything of course!
Hey Hilary, how did you do? Was also running the event yesterday. Crowds were out of this world.

A little while ago we mentioned the AT&T Digital Life app that allows you to control various aspects of your home from your Windows Phone. With the service you can control everything from locking/unlocking your front door to turning on the lights to monitoring your security system. The problem back in March, when the app first appeared, was that the Digital Life service wasn't available.
Today AT&T announced that the Digital Life service has launched in fifteen U.S. Markets including Atlanta, Austin, Texas, Boulder, Colo., Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Houston, Los Angeles, Miami, Philadelphia, Riverside, Calif., San Francisco, Seattle, St. Louis and select areas of the New York and New Jersey metropolitan area. AT&T plans to introduce Digital Life in up to 50 markets by the end of 2013.

This ringlet-loving sampler is your chance to try DevaCurl's innovative curl care system. Each trio includes a creamy lather-free cleanser, a hydrating conditioner, and a lightweight, curl-defining gel. All three work with your hair's natural texture, so you're left with soft, shiny spirals without that pesky halo of frizz.
After my first use I LOVED how much curlier my hair was and I thought i was hooked. But after I washed again and used all the products as before my hair went back to how it usually looks with my other products. So for the added costs of these products I will not be purchasing.3
I tried the No-Poo, One Condition, and Light Defining Gel on a rainy, humid day in Hawaii. Normally my curls are frizzy and pouffy if I air dry, but these products gave me large, bouncy, frizz-free curls. The gel left my curls a little crunchy but they look shiny. The products smell light and fresh (apple, citrus and rose), and the gel really does wash off quickly with water ("dissolves").5
I wanted to love this product. I have fuzzy, curly, wavy hair. It made my hair feel soft and I didn't have the usual frizz. I did note that it seemed to loosen my curls and my hair appeared more wavy with larger curls. I did not like the smell. I haven't given up on it. I will keep using the sample to verify consistent results.3
I received a sample packet each of the No-Poo Cleanse, One Condition Hydrate, and Light Defining Gel. The No-Poo Cleanse was odd in that it didn't lather but seemed to do the job. You should really consider changing the name to something other than "No-Poo". The Conditioner was nice and thick. The Light defining gel left my hair really shiny but the curls a little stiff. Overall these seem to be effective on my long, naturally curly, prone to frizz hair. However, I wasn't thrilled with the smell of any of these products so I probably won't buy.3
I have head some good things about this product, and have had the system in my cart for months, but couldn't pull the trigger on buying it because I was afraid it wouldn't work well. I was very excited to get a sample of this in my BB this month! Love it. I love the smell, the texture, and the outcome of my hair. My hair is very wavy, but with the right products, I can make it pretty curly, and this is a lot easier than pulling out the flat iron and ironing my hair straight. The only small niggle is there were parts where my hair was a little crunchy after using the gel. I think I may have just used too much. Overall I am very satisfied with this product and will purchase it soon.4

Andres "The Black
Shark" Jeudi grew
up in the city of Dorchester, MA.
Since a young age, Andres has always been a competitive person. His hobbies included playing video games, sprinting and lifting weights.
Interesting enough, Jeudi was introduced to Muay Thai by watching the episode "Revenge of Ashura" from the anime series Street Fighter II V.
Jeudi explained to us the story about his first introduction to Muay Thai...
"I never knew how to pronounce the martial art style that I saw. But I knew it was from a Street Fighter character, named Sagat. The moves that were displayed showed such raw power. The moves were intense. I thought nothing of it, at first. But that night, I had a serious adrenaline rush. I didn't know why until I actually thought hard as why I was feeling that way. Then I knew. That night… I wanted to learn Muay Thai. And I told myself that I will not throw a punch or a kick until I read the history of Muay Thai. I spent three whole days researching the history of Muay Thai's history. From there, I started self teaching. I noticed there was a workout gym that had Muay Thai classes. I went to check it out right away. I felt like a kid in a candy store."
Motoki "Jimmy" Hattori was the first man to teach Andres Jeudi the very basics of Muay Thai. Afterwards, he started training under Hattori's teacher, Kru Mark Nardone for a year.
"Whenever I wasn't training with Kru Mark Nardone, I was training in my room or outdoors, in the woods. It became my passion. I feel that Kru Mark Nardone put in years of Muay Thai training in me in just one year. I grew confident and curious. I wanted to know if Muay Thai really works. I explained to him that I wanted to start fighting. Kru Mark Nardone explained he would be unable to be my fighting coach because he did not own his own gym. As a result, he referred me to join Sityodtong, a Muay Thai school in Somerville, MA."
Jeudi later explains how difficult this decision was for him, considering the fact that he is a loyal student.
"I was a bird that didn't want to leave the nest. But Kru Mark Nardone told me to focus being a loyal student to Sityodtong. I explain to Kru Mark DellaGrotte that I wanted to become a Muay Thai fighter. After nine months of solid training, I had my first amateur Muay Thai fight…. And I won via TKO."
Andres remains undefeated with a fight record of 4-0 Amateur and 3-0 Professional in Muay Thai.
Andres made the transition to MMA when he fought and defeated Scott Lynch in 2010.
Andres has remained undefeated with an Professional MMA record of 4-0.
Andres has trained with several UFC fighters including Kenny Florian, Jorge Rivera,
Rich Franklin and others as they passed through the doors of Sityodtong.
Although Andres considers himself a Thai boxer, has worked hard in Jiu-Jitsu.
Andres earned his Blue Belt under Professor Kevin Landry and
Tim Barchard of Renzo Gracie Jiu-Jitsu of New Hampshire.
He has also competed in Grappler's Quest and placed third place in the Blue Belt division.
Whenever Andres is not training he enjoys spreading the teachings of Muay Thai to the next generation.
Andres currently runs the Children's program at Sityodtong.
Life is Hard. Fighting is Easy. is very proud to sponsor The Black Shark for
his upcoming fight on June 2, 2012 at the Mohegan Sun Casino.
He did this all while remaining to be undefeated in Muay Thai and MMA.
Represent "The Black Shark" by wearing his official walk-out shirt for his upcoming fight!

It's the big moment – your walk down the aisle. Whether you love it or not, all eyes will be on you, so it's important to plan ahead and make sure your processional goes smoothly. Follow our simple tips to ensure a memorable processional (for the right reasons!).
Practice Makes Perfect It's essential to do a run-through of the ceremony beforehand. Usually, this occurs before the rehearsal dinner, but some couples choose to hold a cram session on the wedding day before guests arrive. Either way, gather your wedding party, family members, and your officiant to practice the order of the processional and recessional, as well as where everyone should stand or sit during the ceremony.
Order, Order While you can switch things up based on your religious or cultural traditions, family structure or your preference, this is the traditional order of the processional:
Mother of the Bride
Groomsmen (The groomsmen can also serve as escorts for the bridesmaids. The best man should be last).
Groom (Sometimes the groom doesn't walk down the aisle, but emerges through a back or side entrance so he can immediately stand at the altar.)
Bridesmaids (maid of honor is last)
Ring bearer and/or flower girl

Assign a Stage Manager Whether it's a wedding planner, family member, or friend, make sure you assign someone to cue the ceremony music and then signal for each person to walk down the aisle. The "stage manager" should wait until the wedding party member has taken his or her place at the altar before cueing the next person to begin his/her walk.
Walk This Way We've all seen Father of the Bride and know the whole "left together, right together" routine – but that's a pretty old-school technique. Encourage your wedding party to walk normally, just a teeny bit slower than usual so it doesn't look like you're racing down the aisle. Your stage manager should emphasize this point before each wedding party member starts to walk.

Keep The Path Simple Sure, it may look really cool to enter your ceremony from the top of a grand staircase, over a narrow bridge, or down a cobblestone path, but consider your dress, your shoes – and your sanity. Try to keep your aisle as straightforward and simple as possible to avoid every bride's worst nightmare – tripping and falling. If your ceremony site does have a tricky aisle setup, be sure to practice (in your dress and shoes!) beforehand.
Your Escort, Your Choice The tradition is for a bride to walk down the aisle with her father. However, you don't have to do it this way. Depending on your family structure, you can walk down the aisle with just your mother, both parents, a grandparent, sibling or other close relative, alone, or even with your soon-to-be spouse. If you've been raised by several people (stepparents, etc.), you can have one person escort you partway down the aisle, and another bring you the rest of the way.

Pick the Right Songs Of course, there are some classics (Pachelbel's Canon in D, anyone?), but there are a wide variety of both traditional and contemporary songs that would work for a processional. Just make sure that the tempo isn't too fast or too slow – try walking to the beat of the music to make sure it has the right rhythm. Instrumental versions of songs usually work best, but if a song has lyrics, listen to them carefully to make sure they are, ahem, wedding-appropriate.
Change the Mood After the flower girl and ring bearer have walked down the aisle, take a few-seconds long pause before you begin your processional to add a bit of suspense (your guests are excited to see you!). And be sure to change the music – you should walk down the aisle to a different song than your wedding party members.
Photo by Nadia D Photography
Take It All In Many brides focus squarely on their grooms during the processional, but try to glance at your guests as you walk down the aisle. This is one of the only opportunities you'll have to gather all of your nearest and dearest in one place, so take mental pictures to remember this important moment.
Relax Try your best to smile and stay cool and calm while you walk. Many brides tense up their shoulders and hold their bouquets too high, almost blocking their face – so relax your shoulders and arms and hold your bouquet low.

Foreman III foe wants grill
When you are the son of a living legend, you are 6'4" and 250 pounds, and you are undefeated at 2-0, it isn't always the easiest for a promoter to find an opponent. But when Southern California promoter Roy Englebrecht went looking for an opponent for George Foreman III on his September 10th pro boxing show at San Manuel Indian Bingo & Casino in Highland, California, he was floored by what an opponent wanted to take the fight. "When I approached Chico's 0-1 Jesus Hernandez about taking the four round heavyweight bout, Hernandez agreed to the purse amount, said Englebrecht. "But then he told me that the only way he would sign the bout contract would be if I also threw in a new George Foreman Grill and an autographed photo of the former heavyweight champion. So I got on the phone with the Foreman camp and at the Weigh In on September 9th I will happily present Hernandez with a brand new Foreman Grill, and even better the grill will be autographed by George!"
Also set for the Thursday, September 10th seven bout show will be a top female jr lightweight match up between Rhonda Luna and Gloria Ramirez, with the San Manuel Belt going to the winner. Plus two undefeated heavyweights 3-0 Scott Alexander and 2-0 Lionel Davis will see four round action. Tickets for the 7:30pm show are on sale at the Casino or Ticketmaster.

Read more about Michelle Lane in "UA Alumna, 'Avenue Q' Member Trains Students" on the UANews.org blog.
For ticket information, contact the College of Fine Arts Box Office.
Parking is available at the Park Avenue Garage, located on Park Avenue just north of Speedway Boulevard. Pre-paid parking is available for weekday evening performances. On Saturdays and Sundays, parking is offered at no charge. Those with special needs for parking should contact UA Parking & Transportation Services at 520-621-3550.
Under the guidance of "Avenue Q" cast member Michelle Lane, a group of University of Arizona theatre students are learning how to make puppets come alive.
Lane, who earned her UA Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in musical theatre in 2000, worked with ease. She was guiding the group of UA School of Theatre, Film & Television students along in preparation for their presentation of "Avenue Q," which previews Oct. 7 at the Marroney Theatre.
"Good job," Lane would say during rehearsals for the musical, lest a puppet's gaze fell too far to the side or to the floor while its human counterpart was in mid-sentence.
"Remember your intention," she would urge, demonstrating with her own puppet that, at all times, the two must remain extensions of the other.
Lane was a member of the Las Vegas and New York casts of "Avenue Q," which is pegged as an adult version of Sesame Street.
With her strong vocal talent, extensive experience and command of the puppet, she made it look easy. But puppetering can be demanding work. It requires a strong upper body, manual dexterity and persistent attentiveness to the self, the puppet and the audience.
When puppeteering is done well, the entities of human and puppet appear to be mirror images of one another. And something so surreal exists in that moment.
"It's not just sticking your hand inside of a puppet. It's so much more. It's really about the eyes and making sure the puppet's mouth is in sync with what you are saying," said Michael Calvoni, a UA musical theatre junior who plays Princeton, the lead role.
"People might have a bit of hesitation, or might question it, and it might take you a little while to get used to right when you sit down to watch," Calvoni said. "But after a while, you get used to it and you don't even see the human anymore. You're just so engaged with the puppet."
That is the master effect the actors strive to create, said Calvoni, the puppet captain in Lane's absence.
The students involved in the production – the actors, costume designers, stage management and crew members, along with others – have been working for weeks in preparation for the opening.
Hannah Meanger, a stage manager for "Avenue Q," said the rehearsals have given her new insight into the processes required to put on a show.
"I get to see the laughter, growth and development daily. There is nothing more rewarding than watching a show move from ideas and one-dimensional draftings into a well-lit, well-built, well-utilized art work," said Meanger, a senior studying theatre production and design who plans to move to New York for work as a stage manager after graduating in May.
With Lane visiting multiple times to train the students, rehearsals were held for seven hours at times, doing wrist and arm exercises and practicing gestures, expressions and connecting with the puppets.
"This is pretty much your job as a student," said Carli Naff, a musical theater sophomore and Honors College student. "What else would you really want to be doing? It's not something you dread doing. You look forward to it."
Like all of the other actors in the production, Naff auditioned for each character, eventually landing the role of Christmas Eve, a Japanese therapist who is out of work. While many in the production have a background in musical theatre, Naff's primary experience has been in vocal performance.
While the acting has been sometimes difficult, Naff said she has been motivated by the challenge, especially as this first main stage role.
"I don't think people realize how difficult it is," she said. "Some might think you just have to have a natural talent, but it takes so much emotional work to be really good and to give your best work."
The production season offers students a chance to experience a wide range of theatre styles by exploring classical and contemporary plays and musicals, said Rob Gretta, an assistant professor of musical theatre in the UA School of Theatre Film & Television.
All the while, they learn new skills and master others, like vocal performance, dancing, stage movements and other techniques, said Gretta, director of "Avenue Q."
"Our training program provides a traditional professional theatre model so that students will be better prepared to enter the profession," said Gretta, noting that "Avenue Q" was chosen by committee of theatre faculty members to be part of the Arizona Repertory Theatre's 2012-13 season.
"'Avenue Q' is providing the students with an opportunity to create characters and perform in a funny, thought-provoking and touching musical with clever lyrics and exciting music as well as learn the skills to be an effective puppeteer, which is a skill set they can use from now and into the future," Gretta said, adding that it has been especially important that the UA students have been able to work with Lane.
In fact, Calvoni is now considering a career working with puppets.
"This is another thing we can put on our resume and, personally, this has opened me up to wanting to do this professionally," Calvoni said.
Having seen "Avenue Q" twice – once in Tempe, Ariz. and on Broadway in New York – Calvoni said he would have never imagined that he would one day play the lead role.
"I just fell in love with Princeton. I didn't have to stray very far from the character because I kind of see myself in him feeling like a college student or graduate and yet having so much to learn in life," Calvoni said.
"I would hope that the audience just enjoys the show and really let the world of 'Avenue Q' envelop them," he said. "I really hope it's a positive experience for the audience. It's a new experience for us as well."

The made-in-France Mia, which debuted in 2010 and began service in a car-sharing program in France's Poitou-Charentes last year, will be imported to the UK by Venture Automotive Holdings Ltd. for fleet sales. The odd little EV, which has 16 horsepower and a 74-mile single-charge range from two Lithium Ion Phosphate (LiFePO4) batteries, is being promoted as a way for drivers to avoid London's Congestion Charge, which will allow plug-ins to be exempted from fees starting next month.
The funky little car has a single center driving seat in front (hence the right-hand drive non-issue) as well as sliding doors. Prices will start in the UK at £16,995 ($26,675 US). Check out Mia's press release below.
A brand new electric vehicle is coming to the UK fleet market from this summer, thanks to a new, official import deal struck for the Mia-Electric range of electric vehicles.
Mia-Electric is a specialist, dedicated EV vehicle manufacturer, producing both car and CV bodystyles, offered on a common chassis and drivetrain and designed specifically for urban environments. All vehicles are produced in France, at the former Heuliez factory in Cerizay, and are already on sale across Europe.
Designed to put the 'fun' into functional, all Mia-Electric vehicles are bespoke EVs, designed for the city and offering a central driving position, sliding doors, a cut-out floor and roof and ABS body panels.
Each is driven by two Lithium Ion Phosphate (LiFePO4) batteries, generating 12 kW, a stable chemistry giving a range of up to 74 miles and recharging fully in 5 hours. Batteries can be charged at any time, with a 10-minute charge providing a 5-mile range.
The official British Mia-Electric importers will be Venture Automotive Holdings Ltd, trading as 'Mia-Electric UK'. The company will target business drivers and fleet operators initially, based on the vehicle's obvious economic and environmental advantages, in urban and return-to-base, delivery use.
"There is a very real and practical place for EVs in the UK vehicle market," explains Venture Automotive Holdings' MD, Paul Evans, "but, we are realistic in the best place for them. Urban environments, short journeys and regular return-to-base delivery fleets are ideal for electric vehicles. That's where the cost per mile and zero emissions benefits are greatest and what Mia is designed for."
Mia-Electric's launch to the UK fleet market will coincide with revisions to the London Congestion Charge in July, which will see only vehicles emitting 75 g/km CO2 exempt from the charge – something only attainable currently by plug-in hybrid and fully electric vehicles.
Mia-Electric vehicles will be offered with a 'Peace of Mind' programme, comprising a five year/ 70,000-mile warranty for vehicle, battery, electric drivetrain and anti-corrosion and roadside assistance.
Prices will start from £16,995 + VAT, on-the-road, including the UK Government's Plug-In Car Grant.

Sep 15, 2013 - The Associated PressA federal judge approved a consent decree, which outlines specific wild horse management analyses the BLM must perform.
RAWLINS -- The Bureau of Land Management is seeking public comment on how to address wild horse and burro management in southern Wyoming.
The agency is conducting the study as part of the Rock Springs Resource Management Plan, although though it addresses wild horse herding areas close to Rawlins.
BLM spokeswoman Serena Baker said the agency will issue two records of decision in 2016 -- one for Rock Springs and one for Rawlins.
In 2011, the Rock Springs Grazing Association filed a lawsuit against the BLM to get the BLM to remove all wild horses from private land.
To settle the lawsuit, a federal judge approved a consent decree, which outlines specific wild horse management analyses the BLM must perform.
Public comments are due Sept. 27.

Partnerships Continue to Help Coca-Cola Improve Its Earnings and Corporate Brand
Posted by: Julie Young (IP Logged)
Date: February 27, 2014 10:49AM
Partnerships have been an important part of Coca-Cola (KO)'s business strategy. The company utilizes business partnerships in a variety of different ways to help grow its earnings and improve its corporate brand.
Coca-Cola's bottling operations is one area of its business that benefits from strategic partnerships. The company's 21st Century Beverage Partnership Model is currently working in the U.S. to provide more efficient productivity through five bottling partners. Some of the benefits of this partnership include improved technological capabilities and increased access to bottling territories.
In February Coca-Cola announced a continuation of this partnership which will include territory granted to bottling partners in Chicago and Central Florida.
Also in February 2014 Coca-Cola announced a new global partnership with Green Mountain Coffee Roasters that will allow Coca-Cola to provide innovative single-serve cold beverage products for Green Mountain Coffee Roasters' new Keurig Cold. The Keurig Cold will be introduced in 2015 and provides innovative new technology for the single-serve cold beverage market.
Upon regulatory approval, the partnership will begin in March 2014. While the 21st Century Beverage Partnership agreement is focused primarily on territory rights, Coca-Cola's strategic partnership with Green Mountain Coffee Roasters will be centered around a $1.25 billion investment by Coca-Cola that will give it a 10% minority ownership stake in the company.
These are two current examples of Coca-Cola's utilization of strategic partnerships to help it grow earnings over the long term. The company is also involved in many other partnerships that help it to improve its brand and promote global responsibility.
In its 2012/2013 Global Reporting Initiative it included detail on its partnerships citing over 250 global bottling partners and partnerships with over 23 million customer retailors. Additionally, Coca-Cola also has many partnerships that focus on sustainability and environmental responsibility. Some of these partnerships include the Center for Packaging Innovation and Sustainability, Conservation International and the United Nations Development Programme.
These examples further illustrate the importance of Coca-Cola's strategic partnerships. The use of strategic partnerships has been a valuable tool for Coca-Cola and will continue to be central to its business model in the future.

Hi I wanted to know will an internal lift and implant work for me. I scar bad and I don't want the bad incisions. I don't care how big I have to go to avoid them. I'm willing to travel and I will post before and after pics of my progress and post them (2wks,2mths,etc.) to help others. If I have to get them do anyone have pics of african american breast lift that droops like mine and their scars? I've looked everywhere and still havent seen one that didnt look nasty. S.O.S please help!
SOS Avoiding Bad Scars for African American Breast Lift and Implants. Will an Internal Lift Do It? (photo)
Doctor Answers 5
Avoiding scars in breast lifting
As stated below, the angle of the photo makes it difficult to interpret. It does however look like you would be a good candidate for what I call a FEMMA-S procedure. While it is true that there is no such thing as scarless surgery, the FEMMA-S does the best job at hiding scars and supporting a projected breast. The procedure avoids the anchor scar and hides all scars underneath the breast and around the nipple. It is a modification of a very old technique described by Passot and others that has been modified with a pectoral sling support described by Dr. Ruth Graf and dermal suspension techniques. It allows creation of a projecting breast(with the appearance of an augmentation and without implants) with hidden scars instead of a scar ridden flat shape that commonly results from some conventional techniques. I hope this helps,
All the best,
Rian A. Maercks M,D.

Droopy breasts
Dear need boobs yesterday,
Your picture reveals grade 3 breasts ptosis ( droopiness ) and roughly, a C cup. To obtain nice and perky breasts it is impossible to do without scars. Unless you have a history of developing Keloids or bad hypertophic scars, the breasts lift procedure is good compromise between beautiful breasts and scars.
Best of luck,

Ultimate Breast Lift successful in minimizing scars in African Americans
Thank you for your question and photo. It appears you are an ideal candidate for the Ultimate Breast Lift technique. This is a NEW technique that is not a modified version of anything else out there. It was developed using engineering principles to redesign the female breast from the inside out. Essentially the breast is reshaped into an internal cone that is then suspended permanently on to your chest muscles. This is NOT a cookie cutter procedure like the others. It takes different parameters into consideration to design the ideal breast for each individual. The skin is not the only structure supporting the weight of the breast. And most important of all there is no vertical scar which inherently makes the vertical scar lifts weaker.
Kind regards,
Dr. H

Back to school:International students learn about the US Congress
By David Crozier, USASMA
The international students of Sergeants Major Course Class 64 got a first-hand accounting of the happenings in the U.S. Congress April 17, when Congressman Beto O'Rourke, District 16, came to meet with them in the west auditorium of the U.S. Army Sergeants Major Academy.
Michael Huffman, director of the international military student office for the academy, introduced the congressman to the students.
"Usually every year on our field studies program, we get the unique opportunity to speak with our congressional representative from El Paso while visiting Washington, D.C. Since Congress is not in session during our trip this year, Congressman Beto O'Rourke has come to the academy to brief you on his duties and responsibilities," Huffman said.
With introductions over, O'Rourke gave students a brief overview of his duties as a first-term congressman, how he managed his campaign to win the congressional seat, his priorities in serving District 16 constituents and what he has learned since becoming a congressman.
"When people ask me what has been surprising or interesting – something you didn't know before you got here … the real shocking thing about our system of government in the U.S. and specifically Congress, is how dominated it is by the desire to get re-elected and how critical money is in being able to be re-elected," O'Rourke said.
He added that he is for term limits and transparency in campaign finance and that his office has sponsored a bill that would bring transparency to campaign fundraising and would tie donor to candidates who make donations greater than $1,000 to any campaign.
O'Rourke said his two most important issues he focuses on are the dynamics of the U.S./Mexico border and his work on the Veterans Affairs Committee and on veterans' issues in El Paso.
"We spend a significant amount of our time on improving the prospects and perspective on the U.S./Mexico border in Congress. You all have the great fortune of spending a year here and you realize how wonderful El Paso is, the great weather, the wonderful people, the excellent Mexican food, and what you also realize is that we are the safest city in America today," he said. "I like to tell people that we are the safest city because we have Fort Bliss, excellent law enforcement, wonderful people working the border patrol, but perhaps more importantly than all those other things is that we are the safest city in America not in spite of, but because of a wonderful and proud tradition of immigration into this community."
O'Rourke noted however that many in Congress look at the border as a threat for illegal drug importation, human trafficking, weapons and terrorists, everything he said only goes to fuel the insecurities of the uninformed. In contrast, he pointed to the fact that about $90 billion in U.S./Mexico trade crosses through the ports of entry between El Paso and Mexico; 22 million legitimate legal crossings every year, those crossers spend about $1.5 billion in the local economy.
"So, we have far more to gain by broadening and deepening our relationship with Mexico, focusing on the positive, capitalizing on the opportunities, then we do to shut down the border," he said.
Turning to veterans' issues, O'Rourke said El Paso and the surrounding area is home to about 100,000 veterans who are served out of the Veterans Affairs Clinic located on the grounds of William Beaumont Army Medical Center.
"It is a system that in many cases unfortunately has failed our veterans – very hard to get a medical appointment, very hard to see a mental health specialist and those who were injured in service to their country, sometimes, far too often; it is very hard to get an answer back when they file a service-connected disability claim," he said.
O'Rourke ended by thanking students, and opened the floor to questions, which ranged from how does getting re-elected fit into the daily business of being a congressman to party discipline in voting.
"Their questions were great and they were very basic questions that I would be asked by a constituent in El Paso – 'What are you doing for your district, what are your goals, what have you attempted that you have been unable to accomplish.' It really shows you that representation and the political process transcends countries," O'Rourke said.
The Field Studies Program objective is to ensure students return to their homeland with an understanding of the responsibilities of governments, militaries and citizens to protect, preserve and respect the rights of every individual. Areas of focus are human rights, diversity and American life, U.S. government institutions, political processes, the judicial system, the free market system, education, health and human services, media, international peace and security and the law of war.
The international students will visit Washington, D.C., to learn more about our federal government, our history and nation.

Do Your Genes Make You Hate (or Love) Exercise?
ACE Fit Share
April 25, 2013, 12:00AM
We all could use a little extra push from time to time when it comes to getting active—even fitness professionals. Here are the words that get fitness pros fired up for a great workout and the reasons why they rely on these motivational mantras.
This reminds me that everything we do takes time. Whether it's trying to get from 10 reps to 20 reps, running a half marathon or starting a new business, everything starts from passion and an idea and turns into an experience.
- Andrea Metcalf, celebrity fitness expert, author and healthy lifestyle spokesperson
I adopted this philosophy when I first started out in my own personal journey, 40 pounds ago, and was overwhelmed by trying to take on too many drastic changes to my lifestyle at once. After yet another crash diet failed me, I began making small, more manageable changes (10 minute workouts, simple eating swaps) that led to big, lasting results.
-Jessica Smith, certified wellness coach and creator of the Total Body Balance DVD
I use this quote a lot with my clients. If they can just face their fitness fears and get started on working toward their goals (weight loss, muscle gain, etc.), then positive things will happen. Once they start, all of the positives that come with exercise and movement will become apparent and hopefully they will make that healthy lifestyle change.
-Doug Balzarini, C.S.C.S., MMA-CC, ACE-certified Personal Trainer, founder of DB Strength and head strength and conditioning coach for Alliance Training Center
I love this quote because it gets me out of my rut and reminds me that the only thing that is constant in life is change.
-Lawrence Biscontini, M.A., ACE Senior Group Fitness Consultant, award-winning presenter and mindful movement specialist
I love this quote because I find that oftentimes people (including myself) get discouraged because they can't do certain exercises or because they can't exercise for as long or as intensely as they want to. Experience has taught me that if we can just focus on what we can do at the present moment, and do that the best we can, we will see great improvements. It doesn't really matter if my best today was less than yesterday's best, as long as I vow to do my very best each day.
- Kimberly Fleming, ACE-certified Personal Trainer and creator of Keep it Moving Fitness
I like this quote because it keeps me in the present. It's so simple—I wake up each day and work with what I've got; not worrying or feeling guilty about the past, and not being anxious about what I think I should be in the future.
-Stephanie Thielen, B.S., continuing education provider for ACE and AFAA and master trainer for AEA, NETA, Stages and BOSU
This is one quote that fires me up to get going everyday—I've had this hanging in my room since high school. To me, this quote represents the hustle and hard work it takes every day to be great. Success is a choice and is the culmination of consistent discipline and "best practices" that ultimately lead to success and significance.
-Todd Durkin, M.A., C.S.C.S., owner of Fitness Quest 10, Lead Training Advisor for Under Armour and author of The IMPACT Body Plan
The mind is a powerful thing—it can help you succeed or fail and what you think shapes your reality. When you feel tired or sore or like you can't keep going, it's usually your mind, not your body, doing the talking. Change the conversation in your head and you'll be surprised as to how much more you can accomplish in a single workout and over time. What the mind believes, the body achieves!
- Nicole Nichols, ACE-certified Personal Trainer and fitness expert for SparkPeople.com
These words focus my thought process on realizing the simplicity in life, which is that it's not promised. Realizing that you're actually running out of time as opposed to having time for me is pure motivation.
- Elliot Rivera, personal trainer, CEO of HealtHaven.com and creator of #OccupyGym™
Jessica Matthews, M.S., E-RYT is assistant professor of exercise science at Miramar College. As a leading fitness expert, writer and educator Jessica is a regular contributor to numerous publications, including Shape and Oprah.com.

MILWAUKEE (AP) The New York Mets placed All-Star outfielder Carlos Beltran on the 15-day disabled list Tuesday night before their game against the Milwaukee Brewers.
Beltran, 30, was scratched from last Wednesday's 6-3 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates after straining his left abdominal muscle during batting practice. He missed six games before going on the DL, with the move retroactive to July 25.
The center fielder, who is batting .263 with 19 homers and 62 RBIs, said he hurt the muscle on his left side taking a swing.
Catcher Paul Lo Duca continued to sit out with the strained right hamstring that forced him to leave the game during the Mets' 6-5 loss to the Washington Nationals on Saturday night.
Lo Duca was disappointed he was unable to play on Tuesday, especially with Mets pitcher Tom Glavine going for his 300th win.
"I really wanted to be out there," Lo Duca said.
Lo Duca said he was feeling "way better" than he was a few days ago, and lobbied Mets manager Willie Randolph to let him play. But Randolph said it didn't make sense to rush Lo Duca back into the lineup.
"I love Paulie's desire to play," Randolph said. "He's always been that way. But we have to look at the big picture and do what's best for the team."

Using a novel video-imaging system, researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine have been able to observe proteins important in Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease moving along axons, extensions of nerve cells that carry proteins away from the cell body. Understanding this process of axonal transport is important for studying many neurodegenerative diseases.
Axonal transport often breaks down and many neurodegenerative diseases are characterized by defects in this process. Of particular interest is a group of transported proteins called slow component-b that includes synuclein and tau, disease proteins involved in Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease, respectively, in addition to many other proteins critical for axonal growth and regeneration.
"There are two basic transport groups called fast and slow components, with a 200 to 300 fold difference in average velocities," says first author Subhojit Roy, MD, PhD, a neuropathologist and Research Associate in the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine. "While scientists have seen proteins in the fast component move rapidly to the tip of the axon, until now, mechanisms of the slow movement of these disease-related proteins have been unclear as their transport had not been directly visualized."
Roy devised a system to simultaneously visualize the transport of two labeled slow-component-b proteins in living cultured mouse axons. This clarified unique aspects of slow-protein transport. He found that the "slow" proteins actually showed rapid bursts of movement followed by pauses. This intermittent transport behavior of individual cargoes made the overall population slow and suggests that fast and slow proteins use the same basic mechanisms for transport.
Surprisingly, the videos also revealed that multiple slow proteins are transported together as "packets," essentially piggy-backing on each other, possibly on the same specialized proteins called molecular motors. "It makes sense when you think about it – why would the neurons spend so much energy transporting proteins separately when they're going to the same place anyway, like car pooling" speculates Roy.
"Our study reveals novel aspects of axonal transport of an important class of proteins, namely the slow component-b proteins, and also opens up new avenues for investigating axonal transport defects in neurodegenerative diseases," concludes Roy.
Matthew J. Winton, Mark M. Black, John Q. Trojanowski, and Virginia M.-Y. Lee, all from Penn, are co-authors. The study appeared in the Journal of Neuroscience. The American Parkinson Disease Association and the National Institute on Aging in part provided funding for this research.

The conversion of a prominent English lady journalist, Yvonne Ridley, to Islam is not something ignorable in the recent history. By embracing Islam a few years back, Ridley has, in fact, stunned the Western world. Unfortunately, such a thick smoke of bigotry has been spread around Islam by the so-called "civilized and educated Westerners" that it appears to them as a mere symbol of terror and tyranny. Conversion to Islam, therefore, by a distinguished personality, a woman in particular, amid this prejudiced environment, seems something unbelievable.
Yvonne Ridley (now Mariam Ridley) had no specific awareness of Islam before 2001 or the 9/11 incident. But astonishingly, the circumstances took a sudden turn, and Islam became the centre of Ridley's thoughts. Professionally, she had been deputed to Afghanistan as a journalist by her newspaper for covering then-ruling Taliban, who were and are still regarded as the rigid, rude, uncultured and merciless warlords. Also, the Taliban had remained reluctant towards the western media, which had been exhibiting a hostile attitude against them.
Ridley entered into Afghanistan, donned with a long Burqa as a safety measure. Unfortunately, she was detected by the Taliban and immediately taken into custody. As a routine practice, the Western journalists always keep themselves ready to face any sort of risk, in pursuit of acquiring breaking news. Likewise, Ridley probably was also determined to face any sort of challenge inside Afghanistan for the same purpose. Unluckily, however, she was spotted and, as stated above, was imprisoned.
The interesting element in the story, however, is that the detention Ridley had suspected before and for whose evasion she had attired Burqa proved conversely a blessing to her. Her confinement in a house for ten consecutive days shook her from within. The Taliban's compassionate and kind conduct toward Ridley pressed her to seek answers from her heart to such question as: "Are they really the rude and hard-hearted people, as my friends in the media portray?"
Detention of Ridley by the Taliban, however, provoked the entire 'civilized' society of the West, leading to a vast circulation of prejudiced and concocted news in their periodicals about the Taliban. With the detention of Ridley, the West had, in their sense, acquired a vivid and candid proof of the Taliban's barbarism, whereas the facts were quite contrary. An absolutely unique and positive conduct was portrayed to the lady by the Taliban. Also, Ridley might have expected a torturous treatment from them, namely sexual abuse or physical assaults. However, no such behaviour was ever extended to her. Instead, they demonstrated a treatment which a brother extends to his sister or a father exercises over his daughter. This attitude obviously opened the eyes of Ridley and forced her to reconsider Islam. Later, after her release from the captivity, she disclosed to the media that the Taliban had left no stone unturned to leave a nice impression over her through their conduct.
"They honoured my feminism," she once narrated. "Although the face veiling (Hijab) did never appeal to me, they made it incumbent over them to practice it with me. They never beat me," she added, "never starved me and never insulted me. Any time they intended to visit me, they first used to knock my room's door. They also provided me an absolute isolation for my lavatory requirements." Ridley went on to narrate: "I remained in their confinement for ten days but never did they attempt to touch or sit just close to me, because of which I remained ever fearless from them."
Still, however, upon return to her native land, the UK, after her captivity, the media flocked to her in an attempt to pick every minute detail of the Taliban's conduct. "Were you ever molested, deemed like a toy, starved, gang raped or tortured?" A series of such questions were forwarded to her, but quashing their stance, Ridley replied: "No, no, never. They were never rude. They were nice fellows, aware of my pains and sorrows. They acknowledged the respect of women all the time. Although known as uncivilized Mullahs (clerics) by us, their behaviour still was marvelous." But in place of getting pacified, the biased media flashed disgusting news against the Taliban in their journals: "She has been brainwashed. She is uttering all this because of the Taliban's coercion. She is hiding several facts." And so on and so forth.
Then, once in England, her mind instigated her to re-study Islam: a religion whose imitators had so nobly treated her when they could have exercised any cruelty. "Let it be revisited," she decided. Taking in her hands the Holy Quran, the basic source of the Muslim faith, she exclaimed without the least hesitation that the Quran was the only book awarding peace and justice to the entire world. In a response to the editor of "Sunday Telegraph", London, Ridley remarked: "I have found the Quran to be a beautifully written book prompting nothing but peace, love and understanding." More amazingly, she added that the Burqas have been her favourite dress since then, and she puts them in her suitcase on every journey. "I still have the original one I was arrested in," she informed.
Eventually, she stood up to proclaim: "There is no god but Allah and Muhammad is His Messenger." By pronouncing this, she meant that her conversion to Islam was in no way coerced and that she had willfully thrown herself into the fold of Islam.
From then onwards, Ridley became a Muslim who remains ever impatient for the enhancement of her faith. Her soul then did not permit her to sit calm anymore. She already had in her mind the commandment of Allah (swt): "Arise and warn! And your Lord (Allah) magnify!" (Al-Muddaththir, 74:2-3)
She bore the standard of Islam in her hands and devoted herself to its circulation, declaring publicly that Islam was the religion most suited to her.
I, the writer, once came across a comment made by a Muslim revert upon her acceptance of Islam, wherein she had stated: "I have not just embraced Islam but, in fact, have returned to it." In other words, she had returned to her original and natural religion. She was referring to a Hadeeth, which informs that every infant coming into the world is born on natural faith (Islam), but later his parents, kinsmen and friends drag him towards some other faith (Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism, etc.). Likewise, Ridley had not just embraced Islam but had returned to her original belief.
The lesson we can learn from this story is that if the Muslims would correct their attitudes from within (their interactions, discourses, manners, etc.) and cultivate in themselves the charisma that attracts people, one-third of the world population, to speak safely, may fall into the folds of Islam.
Ridley is now a practicing Muslim, deeming it her due obligation to propagate and expand the truth of faith, which she has discovered. When she delivers speeches, travels across the world and wears a full-length Burqa, you will notice in her a lady, who is emotional for the circulation of Islamic tenets. We immensely respect her for returning to the original and natural faith.

Commute, Toy or Destroy – Cimarron vs. Pinto vs. Reliant
We are back with this week's installment of AutoGuide's newest, interactive weekly feature 'Commute, Toy or Destroy'.
Once again, we present to you, our faithful readers, a choice of three vehicles. We are asking you to decide which one you would make your daily driver, which one would be restored for weekend use, and which one always was a lost cause, and should remain so.
Remember, that commuter car you must live with every day, all year round. The toy would only be available to you for the odd drive, and the final car should be put to rest 10-feet underground.
Last week we presented three modern vehicles that have had a rough go in acquiring sales and supporters. This week, we select three vehicles from the past that have gone down in history with a notoriety rivaling that of Bernie Madoff. From the 1970s we have the Ford Pinto, that still to this day, has an explosive reputation. The next two vehicles come from the 1980s; the overly dull Plymouth Reliant and the complete letdown that was the Cadillac Cimarron. So, what are going to be your choices in this lesser-of-three-evils showdown?
Cadillac Cimarron
When is a Cadillac not a Cadillac? When it is a Chevrolet Cavalier. To cash in on the trend of downsized vehicles during the 1980s, someone at Cadillac thought it would be a good idea to fancy-up a J-body Cavalier and sell it as a Cadillac. In an example of badge engineering to fullest, and worst extent, The Cimarron would last just one generation before being put to pasture. The public was not fooled by this 'Cadillac' and sales never materialize to GM's expectations.
Ford Pinto
This is the little car with the explosive reputation for, well, exploding. Although much controversy surrounds the Pinto and whether it really was as unsafe as the legend would have us believe, or whether it was any more unsafe than equivalent vehicles of the time period, is moot. The Pinto lives on to this day as the vehicle that exploded every time it was involved in a rear-end collision. Oh, and it was an ugly little thing.
Plymouth Reliant
Introduced in 1981, the Reliant and its twin the Aries were burdened with the small task of saving the entire Chrysler Corporation. Although these cars were immensely popular and did succeed in keeping the beleaguered company afloat, the cars have since become the butt of many jokes. Thanks to frumpy, square styling and excitement-free engine choices, these coupe, sedan and wagons were the epitome of basic transportation – think of them as the Toyota Corolla of the 1980s.

Mistborn: The Final Empire by Brandon Sanderson
What if you were born with the exceptional ability to digest and burn pure metals to produce various internal or external effects on your body (e.g., super speed, super strength, super senses, etc.)? What if burning iron gave you the ability to mentally pull nearby metals towards you or burning steel gave you the ability to mentally push them all away. With a flare of pewter you would gain physical strength and balance. With a flare of tin you would enhance your sense of sight, smell, and touch. With a blaze of brass you could riot another person's emotions and with a blaze of zinc you could soothe them again. You'd be able to push your body to it's physical and psychological limits and live to tell. In Brandon Sanderson's Mistborn: The Final Empire, the question isn't "What if I had these power?" but rather "How should I use them?

VIDEO: Jeremy Cowart and Anna Nalick
Okay, this is it – the final episode of this season's Master Series. This time Jeremy Cowart takes us behind the scenes of what he describes as one of favorite portfolio pieces: his beautifully lit portrait of singer/songwriter Anna Nalick.
"This image, to me, sums up the Beauty Dish," says Jeremy. "It's just a gorogoues light, a gorgous catch light, and when I think about my favorite shots that I've taken with the Beauty Dish, this is the definitely the image."
If knowing what he used is not enough, if you also want to know how he used it, press play.
In case you missed any of the previous episodes, they can all be found at our website, and if you want to see even more of Jeremy's work, check out his recently redesigned website.

What I am looking to do is, instead of springing for a a light control unit, to supply external power from the lighter socket to the side lights.
I have the appropriate tools and know-how aside from knowing which of the wires that are coming out of the light control unit, are for the side lights.
If someone can help with this, I would be VERY greateful as it would save me having to pay about £250+ to get it replaced!
Thank you and I eargerly await your replies!

What is a Dental Block?
Doctor Answers 4
"Dental blocks" refers to the intraoral (in the mouth)...
"Dental blocks" refers to the intraoral (in the mouth) injections of local anesthetic that a dentist uses to anesthetize areas of the mouth for dental work.
These same techniques have been used by plastic surgeons for years and years to perform surgical procedures as well. I often will perform these "blocks" to anesthetize areas of the face so that when I inject a patient's lips with Juvederm/Restylane it is comfortable for them.
Frequently used in facial plastic surgery....
This type of block is frequently used for facial plastic surgery.It has a high success rate and is associated with excellent pain management.
Your doctor should provide you the option for a "dental block"
Many patients can tolerate filler injections into many areas of the face with simple topical techniques such as ice or numbing cream. However, it's rare that patients are comfortable with these techniques when injecting the lips. Because of the density of nerves in the lips they are very sensitive.
In my experience, the great majority of patients benefit from dental blocks - two injections for the upper lip and two injections for the lower lip. These dental block injections are quick and make the remainder of the procedure pain free.
You can certainly try to tolerate a lip injection without the blocks, but if you're doctor doesn't feel comfortable using blocks, I would recommend you seek out other options.
Hope thats helpful

Dental block=numbing the mouth
I use dental blocks for anyone having lip filler injected. A dental block is done by injecting lidocarine (numbing medicine) into 2 or 4 of the sensory nerves to the lips. Two are injected if only the upper or lower lip is being treated; 4 are injected if both lips are being treated. The numbing injections are done through the mouth and take just a quick few seconds. Then you're pain-free for your lip treatment.

My husband ordered a pair of $155 boots from this fake "company" for me on Valentines day. We ordered them rush delivery so that they'd be in before my birthday which the owner of this "company" said they would if we paid an extra $35 for expedited 2-3 day shipping.
After we sent her my husband's hard earned money it seems she suddenly lost contact with me! So after my boots were already extremely late I emailed her first (she didnt even have the professionalism to email me first about this!!!) to ask about where my boots were. After days of no contact (before ordering she always responded very quickly!) she finally emails me back to tell me her "assistant" mailed my boots off incorrectly & they got mailed through the regular shipping Process!!!
Extremely angry my husband & I still remained calm & professional with her. Then more time began to pass with no email contact from her. Finally after a ton of emails from me asking for updates on the progress of my boots she sends me a tracking number to this random over seas carrier company. I type the shipping number in that she gave me & it didn't work! I even waited over 48 hours to try again & again it still didn't work! I asked her what's going on with my order... Again & she tells me to bare with her because my boots are coming in "internationally" which was strange since in a prior message I was told an imaginary "assistant" mailed my boots off already. Just 1 of many lies from her...
After coming to the realization that she had given me a fake tracking number I try... Again to email her! Days & days pass (as usual) with no response so I finally get tired and reach out to her via Instagram since she seemed to update that about twice a hour trying to sell a bunch of ugly, cheap looking merchendise that she doesn't even have!!!
Not to mention I wasn't the only person complaining about her not shipping their order after already paying! She always deletes those comments though, I see! Then I finally get a lenthy email back (only after she got exposed on Instagram) from her talking about speaking to her "business attorney" because I'd used the words "scam" & "fraud" when referring to her on her Instagram page when in reality she truly is a fraud & this "company" is a scam!!! Even now my boots still aren't here almost a month later & she has the nerve to tell me we aren't getting our money back!!!
She is a dirty thief who needs to go to school, work hard & get a real job like everybody else & stop trying to make a living off of ripping hard working people off with cheap clothes & bad lies that my 5 year old could have told better!!! Do not buy from Beyond Basic Boutique or Kelli George!!!

Bayswater-Morley will be out for revenge after last month's
KMPG Statewide T20 final defeat to Melville when the two sides meet in Sunday's
One Day League decider at the WACA Ground.
The Bears are boosted by the availability of former
Warriors skipper Marcus North, who missed last month's T20 decider due to Perth Scorchers duty, but will go
into the contest as underdogs.
The Storm have been all conquering this season, leading the
way in the District First Grade competition along with their shorter format
Bayswater-Morley coach Craig Kirkby said having North
available was a big boost for his side and added it was a chance for him to
push his case for Warriors selection.
"Marcus is pretty excited about this game. I had a chat to
him this week and he's pretty focused," Kirkby said.
"He likes playing for Bayswater. He enjoys it every time
that we play so he's really looking forward to this game."
Kirkby said North along with Warriors bowler Nathan
Rimmington would play a key role for his youthful side on the WACA Ground.
"Probably 50 per cent of our team has played on the WACA
before so having Rimmington and North, who've played a fair bit of cricket at
the WACA, has given us a bit of an insight into what we need to do and what not
to do," he said.
"We're relying on those two to help us through and to impart
their knowledge on the younger guys in the group."
Melville have an experienced group, with Drew Porter, Ryan
Duffield and Luke Towers their standout players. Porter is the Storm's leading
run scorer in this season's One Day League, while they've had an even spread of
wicket takers with Ryan James and Tom Kerr-Sheppard the most prolific.
"Melville are in my opinion the best side in the competition,"
Kirkby added.
"They've got a lot of experience right through their group,
batters and bowlers, but as they say, if it bleeds you can kill it."
Aaron Todd is Bayswater-Morley's leading run scorer in all
competitions. Todd's century in their opening One Day League group game against Mount Lawley
was a particular highlight and he's a player to look out for.
T20 final Man of the Match Ross Loiacono has been one of the
Bears' best wicket takers in the 50-over format this season, along with Liam O'Connor.

Stick Returned
by Paul on 01/14/09 at 01:11 PM ET
Comments (0)
from Christopher D. Kirkpatrick of the Charlotte Observer,
Charlotte dentist Robert Pappert prized the hockey stick he bought New Year's Day after a special NHL game in Chicago.
That is, until he learned it was stolen from a 14-year-old Detroit Red Wings fan who was given the souvenir after the game by a star Wings player.
Horrified, Pappert overnight-mailed the stick back to the young fan on Monday – an act that has made him a hero of sorts for what some in hockey circles are calling the "Miracle of Nice."
"The stick was never mine, it was that little dude's," said Pappert, a diehard fan who flies with his wife around the country to attend NHL games.
from PuckDaddy,
Two important footnotes. First, and just to finally clear up this lingering doubt, the Tribune's Problem Sover column showed a photo of Bobby Pappert to Plew, and "the teenager said categorically he was not the man who approached him and took the stick." Which of course means that the jerkwad that stole the kid's keepsake in the first place still hasn't 'fessed up.
