I am 16 years old and I was dignosed with a lazy eye when I was a lot younger. I'm not sure what it is exactly called but my brain favorites one eye more and it tends to make the muscle to my eye weaker and my eye lid gets smaller. It's my biggest insecurity and would love to correct it when I'm old enough but I want to know if there is any risk or will it make a difference?
Will Surgery Correct my Lazy Eye? And Will my Lid Close and Open Normally?
Doctor Answers 2
Lazy Eye can mean two different things.
The term "lazy eye" can be used to describe two different conditions:
1. A droopy eyelid
2. Crossed eyes
You need to be evaluated by an Oculoplastics Surgeon or a Pediatric Ophthalmologist. They can determine the difference and tell you what you need.
If you decide to explore this further, I would recommend consultation with an ASOPRS trained Oculoplastics surgeon. You can find one close to you on the ASOPRS dot org website.

This silky, skin-lightening product with a serum texture has a lot going for it, but one ingredient (discussed below) spoils the party.
On the plus side, this glides over skin and imparts instant radiance due to the cosmetic pigment mica. It also contains several ingredients with a growing body of research proving their worth for lightening dark spots and evening skin tone. Considering this product's cost, those ingredients should be more prominent than they are, but given that they are combined, you'll likely see a difference.
The ingredient that gets this product its lower rating is the preservative methylisothiazolinone. This preservative is a known sensitizer and is generally not advised for use in leave-on products (Sources: Contact Dermatitis, November 2011, pages 276–285). Although there isn't much of it in here, it still poses a risk you don't have to accept. In addition, this contains two forms of fragrance (ethylene brassylate and p-anisic acid) that can conspire to make irritation worse, especially in combination with the preservative discussed above.
Although there's reason to consider this product if you're struggling with brown spots and do not have sensitive skin, for less money and a fragrance-free formula you may want to consider other options on our list of Best Skin-Lightening Products.
Irritation, whether you see it on the surface of your skin or not, causes inflammation, and as a result impairs healing, damages collagen, and depletes the vital substances your skin needs to stay young. For these reasons, it is best to eliminate, or minimize as much as possible, your exposure to known skin irritants, especially when there are brilliant formulas available that do not include these types of problematic ingredients (Sources: Inflammation Research, December 2008, pages 558–563; Skin Pharmacology and Physiology, June 2008, pages 124–135, and November-December 2000, pages 358–371; Journal of Investigative Dermatology, April 2008, pages 15–19; Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, March 2008, pages 78–82; Mechanisms of Ageing and Development, January 2007, pages 92–105; and British Journal of Dermatology, December 2005, pages S13–S22).
A silky, fast-acting serum that helps to even the appearance of your skin tone and boosts skin brightness. This unique brightening complex leaves your skin looking healthier and younger – with a radiant glow – by helping to reduce the appearance of age spots, acne marks, sun damage and discoloration. Gentle formula is suitable for all skin types and ethnicities.
Water, Dimethicone, Isododecane, Cyclopentasiloxane, PEG-6, Glycerin, Stearic Acid, Polysilicone-11, Glyceryl Stearate, PEG-100 Stearate, PEG-8 Dimethicone, Polyglyceryl-10 Decaoleate, Polymethylsilsesquioxane, PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Hydrogenated Lecithin, Synthetic Wax, Glucosamine Hydrochloride, Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate, Tocopheryl Acetate, Resveratrol, Pisum Sativum, Algae, Saccharomyces Cerevisiae Extract, Glycyrrhiza Glabra, Arctostaphylos Uva Ursi Leaf Extract, Morus Alba, Benzophenone-3, Cetyl Alcohol, Cetearyl Alcohol, Butylene Glycol, Isostearic Acid, Phenylethyl Resorcinol, PPG-26-Buteth-26, Sucrose Dilaurate, Ceteth-10 Phosphate, Dicetyl Phosphate, Polysorbate 20, Dimethylmethoxy Chromanyl Palmitate, Ethylene Brassylate, Urea, Caprylyl Glycol, Hydroxyethyl Behenamidopropyl Dimonium Chloride, Sodium Hydroxide, Sodium Chloride, Polyquaternium-67, Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate, Citric Acid, p-Anisic Acid, Trisodium Ethylenediamine Disuccinate, Phenoxyethanol, Methylisothiazolinone, Sorbic Acid, Ethylhexylglycerin, Sodium Benzoate, Mica, Titanium Dioxide
BeautiControl At-A-Glance
Strengths: The Cell Block-C products include stablized Vitamin C; some well-formulated moisturizers; decent scrub products; excellent retinol products; some good cleansers plus an exceptional makeup remover; Lip Apeel; very good lip balm with sunscreen; some great foundations (including one with full coverage); very good powder blush and eyeshadow trios; the liquid eyeliner and lip gloss are excellent; some innovative products that make this line deserve a second look.
Weaknesses: Most of the body-care products contain irritating ingredients, as do several others throughout the line; the jar packaging is really disappointing; most of the toners contain problematic ingredients that can hurt skin; almost all of the men's products are full of irritants; limited options for sunscreens, although what's available provides sufficient UVA protection; the Skinlogics Sensitive skin-care line contains ingredients that are problematic for those with sensitive skin; mostly problematic concealers; limited to poor foundation, concealer, and powder shades for women of color.
Texas-based BeautiControl has been around for nearly three decades and has maintained a consistent focus on skin care. Most recently they have shaped their line around the concept of creating your own in-home spa, which the company uses to entice women to host BeautiControl parties for their friends and family. Whether you find out about (or end up purchasing) these products by attending a BeautiControl party or you happen across their Web site, there are some compelling reasons to consider several BeautiControl products. Let's start with the positives.
The best face forward side of BeautiControl is that their price point is not over the top, and mostly reasonable; plus several of their products are exceptional. We also think their overall approach to taking care of skin is well-intentioned. Without question, the ingredients in their best products demonstrate they're keeping up with the state-of-the-art. If they stopped including problematic ingredients and discontinued the poorly formulated products this line would be a much stronger option for consumers looking to take excellent care of their skin while remaining brand-loyal.
BeautiControl's focus on launching more and more miracle products with incredibly misleading claims might help them sell more products, but it doesn't always make for good skin care. And how come they have so few facial moisturizers with sunscreen? Protecting skin from sunlight indisputably keeps it looking younger, firmer, smoother, and even-toned far longer than anything else you can do for skin.
BeautiControl's makeup collection has been streamlined a bit, and that's good news. The foundation colors are divided into warm, cool, and neutral tones though the warm tones (those that begin with the letter Y) are more neutral than warm, which is good news. The cool shades (those that begin with the letter P) are the least impressive. Throughout the color line are some happy surprises, such as the improved powder blush and eyeshadow trios but also some really bland products such as the eye pencil and some gimmicky primer-type products. You'll find some great products whether you want to shop BeautiControl's color line piecemeal or assemble a complete makeup wardrobe, and the prices are reasonable.
For more information about BeautiControl, call (800) 232-8841 or visit www.beauticontrol.com.
Note: We would like to acknowledge and extol how exceptionally helpful the staff at BeautiControl's main office has been in allowing my team and me to compile the information necessary to complete this review. Very few cosmetics companies extend such a high level of service and reliable information to us, and we truly appreciate it.
The Beautypedia and Paula's Choice Research teams have one mission: To help you find the best products for your skin, whether they're from Paula's Choice or another brand. By combining efforts, we're able to share scientific research and remain committed to the highest standards based on our decades of experience objectively reviewing thousands upon thousands of skincare and makeup formularies in all price ranges.
Beautypedia cuts through the hype to bring you product insights and recommendations you won't find anywhere else!

Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
My husband and I have had our home financed through Green Tree Financial for 10 years. Two years ago we took out a new homerowners policy. We have fought them for two years over not having insurance on our home. we have had our agent fax them the information 8 different times. Still the information is not on our account. Over the 2 years they have called us continually over this. We have been forced to pay for their insurance when we have our own. Well, you can't double insure your property. they have forced us to commit a crime.
Greene Tree has called me a lier. They have threatened to forclose on our home for not taking their insurance. I have done everything I possible can to prove to them I have insurance. i don't know what else I can do.
Also I paid my payment online through my checking account. The payment left my bank the day I entered it for payment. It would take Green Tree two weeks to post that payment. In the meantime they would call numerous times a day everyday harrassing us until they posted the payment. Then they would charge us a late fee and report us as making late payments. How can they get by with this?
They sent me self addressed envelopes and told me I had to mail my payment in. I refused. I started calling them to make my payment to find out they charge $12.00 to process the payment.
I agree a class action suit should be brought against them. The Government needs to close them down.

text: well, we just got a massive snow storm on Friday and probably about 10-50 cm of snow depending on the area of the city. i had to go to Costco yesterday and the roads weren't plowed completely nor were they sanded. so i was sitting at a red light on the way there and this guy in a Corolla couldn't stop quick enough and rear ended me doing about 20 kph. i got out thinking the worst, and the only thing that happened was a small dent in the bumper and the bumper was bent in a little. also, the rear quarter panel was pushed behind the tailgate. the '04 Corolla had half the bumper cracked and the headlight was cracked. when the cops arrived, one of the dumbass officers opened the tailgate, causing the corner of the tailgate to bend out because of the quarter panel. i yelled at him, and he got a crowbar and pried the quarter panel back out. apart from the bent corner, there is no immediately visible damage. like a rock. it seems each time i get into a crash, i love GM just that little bit more. in the pic you can't see the dent in the bumper but you can see the slightly bent bumper and the bent out tailgate corner.

Based on a hominid molar, scientists from Germany, Bulgaria and France have documented that great apes survived in Europe in savannah-like landscapes until seven million years ago.
A seven million year old pre-molar of a hominid discovered near the Bulgarian town of Chirpan documents that great apes survived longer in Europe than previously believed. An international team of scientists from the Bulgarian Academy of Science, the French Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique, and Madelaine Böhme from the Senckenberg Center for Human Evolution and Paleoenvironment at the University of Tübingen was involved in the project. The new discovery may cause a revision in our understanding of some major steps in hominid evolution.
To date scientists have assumed that great apes went extinct in Europe at least 9 million years ago because of changing climatic and environmental conditions. Under the direction of Nikolai Spassov from the National Museum of Natural Science in Sofia, Bulgaria, the molar was discovered in Upper Miocene fluvial sediments near Chirpan. The morphology and the great thickness of the tooth enamel point to a hominid fossil. The age of the fossiliferous sands at 7 million years reveals the fossil to be most recent known great ape from continental Europe.
Until now, the most recent fossil was that of a 9.2 million year old specimen of Ouranopithecus macedonensis from Greece. Hominids therefore were thought to have disappeared from Europe prior to 9 million years ago. At this time, European terrestrial ecosystems had been changed from mostly evergreen and lush forests to savannah-like landscapes with a seasonal climate. It had been thought that great apes, which typically consume fruits, were unable to survive this change due to a seasonal deficiency of fruits.
The scientists found animals typical of a savannah in the fossil-bearing layer: several species of elephants, giraffes, gazelles, antelopes, rhinos, and saber-toothed cats. This discovery suggests that European hominids were able to adapt to the seasonal climate of a savannah-like ecosystem. This conclusion is further corroborated by electron microscope analysis of the tooth's masticatory surface, which reveals that the Bulgarian hominid had consumed hard and abrasive objects like grass, seeds, and nuts. In this respect, the feeding behavior of this animal resembles that of later African hominids from about 4 million years ago (e.g. australopithecids like 'Lucy').
"We now also need to rethink where the origin of humans took place," says Professor Madelaine Böhme of the University of Tübingen. So far, most scientists believe that human evolution happened exclusively in Africa and that humans migrated from Africa to other continents. "There is increasing evidence, however, that a significant part of human evolution happened outside Africa, in Europe and western Asia."
That migration plays a major role in early hominid evolution was documented by paleontologists from the Senckenberg Center for Human Evolution and Paleoenvironment in June 2011, when they presented an early Eurasian hominid. A further piece to the puzzle had furthermore been an isolated molar tooth excavated southwest of Sigmaringen, Germany, and dated to 17 million years ago. The Tübingen group of paleoclimatologists led by Böhme reconstructed the climate at this time and demonstrated that great apes dispersed at this time under a tropical-subtropical and humid climate from Africa into Europe. Together, both investigations document an at least 10 million year lasting population of great apes in Europe and a significant evolution from fruit-eaters to harder object feeders.

Somalis running from famine toward the Dadaab camp in Kenya must run one more gauntlet before they reach refuge.
Bandits hide in the thorny bushes dotting the sand, waiting to steal anything that refugees haven't lost already.
"When they come, they have nothing," said Rachel Wolff, director of media relations for World Vision. "They sometimes don't even have the clothes on their backs."
The drought stretched across the Horn of Africa to hit Kenya, Ethiopia, and Djibouti. But the crisis only reached U.N.-specified famine conditions in Somalia, where one-third of the children are extremely malnourished. UNICEF estimates that 14 children are dying each hour in some parts of the country.
Refugees are running from East Africa's worst drought in 60 years. Tens of thousands have died and the death toll may reach 750,000 before the end of the year. The worst part of the drought is in Somalia, and refugees are pouring out because aid agencies cannot get in.
World Vision, Lutheran World Federation, Samaritan's Purse, the American Friends Service Committee, and other aid groups work in massive refugee camps across the country's borders in Kenya and Ethiopia, and in northern Somali communities where the government is more stable, but few venture to southern Somalia's worst-hit regions.
And now Dadaab itself has been declared unsafe: With the kidnapping of two Spanish women working with Medecins Sans Frontieres, the aid organization has evacuated its four dozen staff to Nairobi. The U.N. halted almost all aid operations in the refugee camp, but they have since resumed.
Meanwhile, only a handful of humanitarian groups work in the famine areas in the middle of southern Somalia, said Ken Menkhaus, a Somalia policy expert and professor of political ...1

Charcoal fabric 3 seater sofa bed is rated out of 5 by 3.
Rated 3 out of 5 by Chelle from Looks nice but not that comfy The sofa looks sleek and modern and fits right into my living room. However the cushions are quite stiff and is not very comfortable to sit on for long periods. The side arm rests are slightly too high as well. Overall still pleased with it.

Oh no, these shrimp are missing their burrito shell!
Leaving off the tortilla usually saves about 200 calories, and saves you from white processed carbohydrates and sometimes nasty trans fat! Plus, an added bonus is that you get to eat all the yummy filling, and leave off the flavorless shell.
Naked Shrimp Burrito
Makes about 3 servings.
- 1 cup dry brown rice
- 2 1/2 cups water
- 1 can black beans, drained
- 2 Tbsp. fresh cilantro, chopped or use 5 frozen cilantro cubes (can find a Trader Joe's or Whole Foods)
- 1-2 tsp. cumin
- 1/2 tsp. dried ground chipotle pepper
- 1/2 lb. frozen shrimp, thawed, deveined and peeled (about 7 shrimp per person)
- 1-2 Tbsp. olive oil
- 1 large green pepper (or 2 small), sliced
- 1 medium yellow onion, sliced
- 1 Tbsp. taco seasoning
- 1 tsp. garlic powder
- 1 tsp. cumin
- 1/2 tsp. dried ground chipotle pepper
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- salt and pepper
- Prepare the brown rice according to the package, and add a pinch of salt to the water. Add the next 4 ingredients after the rice and water when the rice has about 10 minutes left of cooking. Stir to combine, then put the saucepan lid back on to cook together the remaining 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a large saute pan, heat olive oil over medium heat and add the onions. Cook for about 5 minutes. Then, add the green pepper along with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook about 3 more minutes until slightly softened.
- Combine the thawed shrimp in another bowl with the taco seasoning, minced garlic, cumin, chipotle, and garlic powder. Add the shrimp mixture to the pepper/onion mixture. Turn the heat down to medium-low. Stir and cook until the shrimp have all cooked through (about 4 more minutes).
- Taste test your rice and shrimp mixture to see if you like the flavor. You can always add an extra pinch of spiciness if you like hot food.
- Serve the shrimp and peppers over top of the black beans and brown rice. Garnish with cilantro if you like, or add salsa on top, or maybe some avocado!
Makes a balanced meal, full of fiber and nutrients, and packed with flavor!

|Patriots Look Poised For Another Super Bowl Run
|Bruins Trade For Drew Stafford
|Black and Gold Bruins Turn Yellow On Parade Day
|Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made
According to John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle, Japanese pitcher Masahiro Tanaka has narrowed his ideal places to play in Major League Baseball to three cities: Boston, New York and Los Angeles. We've heard that the Red Sox could be a dark horse candidate for the 25-year old right-handed pitcher, but how realistic would it be for them or the other four teams from those cities to land him? Here's my breakdown of each of the five potential landing spots:
The Mets have already spent money this offseason to strengthen their outfield with the likes of Curtis Granderson and Chris Young, while adding Bartolo Colon to the top of a rotation that will be without ace Matt Harvey for 2014. The addition of the young Tanaka would effectively be a move for 2015, when the team could ideally line up 25-year old Harvey, 24-year old Zack Wheeler, and Tanaka, who would be still just be 26 years old.
The Mets should strongly consider pursuing Tanaka for the promise of a dangerously talented young rotation in the near future, but in all likelihood they will not be able to match the offers from other teams, such as their crosstown rivals.
The Yankees are considered by many to be the favorites to land Tanaka, given their desperate need for starting pitching and the appeal of a pitcher who should have several years left of the prime of his career. New York will certainly match the $20 million posting fee, and then the question will be how far they're willing to go to sign the pitcher given the luxury tax. Mathematically, the Yankees will profit more from a stronger season, so they are likely inclined to go all-in at this point, given their busy offseason of free agent signings.
With the $189 million luxury tax cutoff a meaningless mark, New York needs to sign Tanaka. He would fit nicely behind both CC Sabathia and Hiroki Kuroda in the starting rotation at the beginning of the season, and based on how the pitcher adjusts to pitching in Major League Baseball, he could find himself as their ace by next year. The Yankees could fill out the rest of their rotation with Ivan Nova and one of several candidates like David Phelps, or wild card option Michael Pineda.
The Angels were a disastrous team last year, and while much of the blame fell on the shoulders of Albert Pujols and Josh Hamilton, the team's lineup really isn't much of an issue. The team does need to focus on its rotation beyond Jered Weaver and C.J. Wilson. They added Hector Santiago, but the team could make a big splash by making Tanaka a priority.
The Angels are quickly being out shadowed in Los Angeles by the Dodgers, another candidate for Tanaka's services. With the agreement that the initial posting fee money will be divided into two years, teams like the Angels could be a better fit given their large investments already, especially when you factor in the possibility of a Mike Trout extension. While I don't think Tanaka will end up playing for the Angels, the team will consider whether or not he can be a difference-maker after winning just 78 games last year.
The Dodgers may be primarily interested in extending franchise pitcher Clayton Kershaw, but there's no question the club will do what it takes to be in the middle of the Tanaka sweepstakes. With an already dazzling pair of aces in Zack Greinke and Kershaw, the Dodgers would be adding another strong foreign arm to complement South Korean left-handed starter Hyun-Jin Ryu, who was an underrated success for Los Angeles last year.
Tanaka could be penciled in as the Dodgers' fourth starter, with new addition Dan Haren rounding out a tremendous rotation, which would have both Chad Billingsley and Josh Beckett for insurance. The appeal to assemble a potentially unstoppable team will drive the Dodgers to sign Tanaka, but not if they risk losing Clayton Kershaw to 2015 free agency.
The Red Sox already have a full rotation, but the possibility of adding Tanaka is appealing both for the boost he could give to their pitching staff while also ruining the New York Yankees' offseason plans. The Red Sox would look to trade a starting pitcher if they added Tanaka, with John Lackey as the most likely candidate.
The Sox could use Jon Lester, Clay Buchholz, and Tanaka as their top three starters. Felix Doubront and Jake Peavy would be excellent options as fourth and fifth starters, with the depth of pitchers like Brandon Workman. That puts Ryan Dempster in the bullpen, where less total innings could improve the 4.57 ERA he posted last year.
Similarly to the Dodgers, the Red Sox don't necessarily need Tanaka, but that shouldn't waver their interest. Yet it's worth mentioning that amid the drama and hype surrounding the pitcher, no one really knows how he'll perform in Major League Baseball. Whichever team succeeds in signing him could be gaining their ace of their future–or a complete financial disaster, especially if Tanaka signs for significantly more than $100 million. For now, we can be excited by the idea of Tanaka in America, but the reality of that concept won't be known until he's made his first start.

Costume Information
|I wanted to do another Legend of Zelda cosplay and thought it'd be nice to make a costume that hadn't been done before. The fact that there was a talking boat in The Wind Waker always amused me and, once I'd had the idea that that would be a really silly, fun costume the idea stuck in my head until I made it.
It's basically mostly made of cardboard, the teeth are made from craft foam, the eyes are clear plastic and the sail is made from garden sticks and fabric but other than that it's all cardboard. Most of the boat was made with several pieces that could be packed flat so that we could get it to Minamicon.
The neck piece is hollow, that's where I stood to push the boat along. Dave, cosplaying as Link, held the sail so that it stood up in the middle of the boat and moved along in time with it.
LOL that is awesome XD
How did you transport that?
Thank you. :)
I designed the boat so that all of it, except the head, could be broken down into various flat panels. The back part's several panels of cardboard and the neck part's a triangle of cardboard that folds flat. A very kind friend of ours gave us a lift to Minamicon and, somehow, we managed to fit all of that cardboard into her car. :)

Some change consumer electronics forever. Others ... not so much. C-Net's Maggie Reardon gave us a quick summary of some of this year's potential flops. Could it be this? Or this? Music Playlist Bela Lugosi's Dead Artist: Bauhaus Transcript BROOKE GLADSTONE: This is On the Media. I'm Brooke Gladstone. BOB GARFIELD: And I'm Bob Garfield. As we mentioned, this week thousands of gadget makers and gadget lovers journeyed to the great city of Las Vegas for the annual Consumer Electronics Show. Each year some products at the CES change consumer electronics history. Others – don't. Take the 2001 flop, the iSmell, a product that, once connected to your computer, released a scent based on the website you were browsing. That one, as The New York Times reported this week, never made it past the prototype. So we wondered, what's this year's iSmell? Marguerite Reardon, a senior writer at CNET, is at the CES. She describes one likely contender. MAGGIE REARDON: I'm not so sold on the LG Watch Phone. I kind of think that watches went out, you know, like in 1995. BOB GARFIELD: That's a watch that's also a phone, like a Dick Tracy wrist radio. MAGGIE REARDON: Exactly. BOB GARFIELD: Max Smart talked into his shoe - MAGGIE REARDON: [LAUGHS] BOB GARFIELD: - but that was 1966 technology. Why do you think that a watch phone won't take off? MAGGIE REARDON: Well, I just think people have grown accustomed to not wearing watches, and we want our phones to do so much more now. You know, you can just pull out your cell phone, take a look at the time, but it also gets your email. You know, you can watch videos on it, get your music. And I think the LG phone does have an MP3 player on it, but it's a tiny screen, and I just don't see it becoming hugely popular when the trend we're actually seeing is that people are really interested in smart phones, like the iPhone or the BlackBerry. BOB GARFIELD: The cost of this item? MAGGIE REARDON: It's not available yet. They're saying, you know, later this year. This phone literally just came off the plane from Korea. BOB GARFIELD: Any other non-starters? Anything else DOA? MAGGIE REARDON: You know, I'm still not completely sold on 3-D TV. Panasonic is showing off some technology there, and, you know, you've got to wear the glasses, and I'm not sure how many people want to sit around their living rooms with special glasses to watch a 3-D football game or something. But the experience is pretty cool, so who knows? I mean, that's something that potentially could take off. BOB GARFIELD: All right, so if CES is the high holidays of the gizmo universe, what's the mood in this economically depressed 2009? MAGGIE REARDON: People are cautious. Steve Ballmer, Microsoft's CEO, last night during his keynote, I mean, that was the first thing he brought up was the economy. And he was basically just trying to be the cheerleader, like, but it's not going to be that bad. [LAUGHS] There's still hope. There's still innovation. I think all the consumer electronics makers are just crossing their fingers that people still need to buy a new TV. [LAUGHS] BOB GARFIELD: Okay, Maggie. Well, listen, thank you very much. Enjoy the rest of the show. MAGGIE REARDON: Well, thanks for having me. BOB GARFIELD: Marguerite Reardon is a senior writer for CNET. She spoke to us from this year's Consumer Electronics Show.

End of an Era
As a child, my imagination was fueled by the visions of science fiction writers and the space program. With the space program I saw adventure, scientific advancement, and hope for indomitable spirit of mankind.
Now? I'm watching the shuttle Discovery landing for for the last time at Dulles International Airport in Virginia (4/17/12 10ish am EST).
I mourn my childhood dreams.
The US space shuttles are being retired over the course of 2012. There will be three additional opportunities to see see this magnificent site. The shuttle Enterprise will go to New York, land at JFK then be floated up the river to the Sea, Air & Space Museum in Manhattan.
While I believe we will eventually get back into space, the program will most likely turn commercial. Nothing wrong with that, it might make the experience reachable for us citizenry.
My imaginative meanderings in space travel and exploration will never be diminished, I sorrow at the loss of momentum in development. And, hope.
Hope that mankind will once again walk on the moon and go further.

I have to admit that I came to the music somewhat biased, never having heard a bad Vandermark record, but be that as it may, this one is up to his usual high standards. The reed player shares half of the composition credits on these eight tracks with bassist Nate McBride, but the overall shared articulation overshadows the differences between the two. At times the trio waxes lyrical, as on the sweet ballad "Tilted," where understatement from all players carries the day; or the forward-moving "Framinghammer," where simplicity is the mode and a romantic tone predominates. McBride sometimes riffs away, which reflects both his personal style and the structured emphasis of some of these pieces. The aforementioned "Framinghammer" rides on a loping bass line (complemented by drum counterpoint), and "Bird, Field (gray)" draws strength from rhythmic leads that originate in the bass.
Three of these pieces offer more dissonance than the rest. They include "Two" (dedicated to Joe Morris), which not surprisingly passes through many small intervals, bubbling and popping across bits and pieces of sound. It's not the kind of extroverted overblown expressionism that Vandermark is clearly capable of, and which he does engage in elsewhere on the record. But the most satisfying moments on Gambit occur when the trio parks its articulate, almost intellectual approach in an area that's more rough around the edges. It's that give and take which provides the tension and release here.
It's fun to hear Vandermark, McBride, and Newton swing in unexpected contexts (some times more obviously than most, and aided immensely by Newton's range), and they demonstrate a clear respect for the tradition, both inside and out. It all comes down to how many tools they have at their disposal, which as you might guess is quite a few.

People with Complex Needs
Community services have become increasingly concerned by the prevalence of mental health and drug and alcohol issues in their clients, as increased complexity of need complicates the provision of services. The Council has called for innovative, integrated and flexible service responses to provide assistance and address service gaps so we can more effectively assist clients who face multiple life barriers.
What are your party's policies in the areas of mental health, safety and justice and how will they address the emerging issues of complex need?
WA Labor recognises the interrelationship between drug and alcohol issues, mental health and the housing pressures that result in financial hardship. We are committed to working with WACOSS and its members to provide support for people with
complex needs, to achieve much better co-ordination and referral pathways.
We will be releasing policies, including for mental health, which will address many of these issues, closer to the election.
The Government's recent release of the Mid-Year Financial Projections revealed that State debt has risen by 405 per cent to $18.2 billion and that there will be a budget deficit next financial year. This is a direct result of the State Government prioritising
large building projects in the CBD at a time when our most vulnerable citizens are in need.
WA Labor's policies are available here. Further
policies will be posted on this website upon release.
The People with Exceptionally Complex Needs (PECN) program was expanded in January 2012 and can coordinate support for 18 people who require a holistic response to meet their complex needs. The program targets up to 10 young people with complex needs and whose risk levels are very high. Funding of $15.3 million across three years has been committed to establish an Early Psychosis Youth Centre (EPYC). The EPYC, the first centre of its kind in Western Australia, is scheduled to commence in 2014 and will provide opportunities for wraparound services for young people experiencing mental illness. In addition, $5 million was allocated over two years in the 2012-13 State Budget to establish Western Australia's first ever Mental Health Court Diversion Program, headed by a full time magistrate and supported by a team of professionals providing assessments, individualised treatment and liaison to community mental health services. A further $1.7 million has been allocated to provide mental health expertise in the Perth Children's Court, with the associated programs to be implemented in early 2013.
The Greens (WA) recognise that too many people in our community are falling through gaps in service delivery because their needs are multiple and complex, and often fall across different portfolio and service areas. We welcome and support a number of programs which address this need in a more coordinated way, including the People with Exceptionally Complex Needs, and Young People with Exceptionally Complex Needs programs. However, these programs do not meet current need and should be expanded. Within the justice system we believe intervention, justice reinvestment and court diversionary programs which successfully address offending behaviour including the Mental Health Court, Intellectual Disability Diversion Program (IDDP) and the Perth Drug Court should be expanded. More broadly, addressing the needs of this group of people requires a coordinated, innovative and flexible approach to service delivery including better acute inpatient and community treatment options, support for prisoners, and a better legislative framework.

The friends and church family of St. Johns Christian Fellowship Church gathered at Doctors' Memorial Hospital (DMH) on Valentine's Day to dedicate room #206 to Big Bend Hospice and its patients.
Led by St. Johns Christian Fellowship Church family, the room was furnished "with a comfortable feeling" to help families of Big Bend Hospice have a "home-away-from-home" during difficult times in their lives, organizers said. The room was dedicated especially for Big Bend Hospice patients and their families, but all hospice patients will be welcome.

Create a Zoomed In Effect in Photoshop
This tutorial will walk you through a simple process of giving a zoomed-in effect for your illustrations. This can be used in numerous ways, but primarily for designing instructional visual material.
Setting up the Photoshop document
1 First, we are going to open up Photoshop and create a new document (Ctrl + N). In the New document dialog box, set the Width and Height units to pixels (if it isn't already). We're creating a square canvas; set the width and height to 600 pixels. We're creating a graphic that's web resolution, so set the Resolution to 72 pixels/inch.
Adding graphics to the canvas
2 Choose a good resolution graphic (500 x 500px) which has enough resolution and detail to show as the zoomed part. Vector graphics are always great because you can rescale them without loss of quality. Here I am using the Envelope Icon from the free Six Revisions Plastic Iconset. Paste (Ctrl + V) the graphic to the stage and name the new layer Zoom.
3 Duplicate the Zoom layer by right-clicking on it in the Layers Panel and choosing Duplicate Layer (Ctrl + J). Name the duplicated layer Small Graphic.
4 Go to Edit > Transform > Scale and scale down this layer to 40% and place around the top center on the stage. Hide the visibility the Zoom layer.
Creating the zoom effect
5 Choose a dark gray color (#464646), hold the Shift key and using Ellipse Tool (U) to create a perfect (and big) round circle shape. Name this layer round01.
6 Duplicate the round01 layer, rename the new layer round02 and scale it down to 90%. Set the color of the ellipse shape to #707070.
7 Similarly, duplicate round02 and create a round03 with 96% scale down and color set to #ffffff.
8 Select round01 and go to Layer > Layer Style > Gradient Overlay. Click on the gradient and in the Gradient Editor, add color stops in this order: #ffffff at 2% location, #707f82 at 30%, #b5bfc1 at 35%, #536162 at 85% and #ffffff at 95% location.
9 Let us add an outline. Go to Layer Style > Stroke. The Size option should be set at 1px, Position: Inside and Color: #858585.
10 Similarly, select round02 and add gradient overlay in this order: #e3e8eb at 0% location, #ffffff at 15% location, #6b797c at 40% location, #b4bebf at 50% location, and #576264 at 100% location.
Creating the handle
11 Choose the Small Graphic layer in the Layers Panel, add a new layer on top of it (Shift + Ctrl +N), and name the new layer handle. Use the Ellipse Tool (U) and draw another round circle (remember to hold down Shift to make it a perfect circle) covering your small graphic's main detail.
12 Duplicate handle shape layer, name it handle out, and scale it down to 95%.
13 Rasterize the handle and handle out layers by right-clicking on the respective layer in the Layers Panel and then choosing Rasterize Layer.
14 Create a marquee selection around the shape by Ctrl + clicking on handle out layer's thumbnail in the Layers Panel. Choose the handle layer in the Layers Panel with the marquee selection still active, and then press the Delete key to delete the area beneath the selection.
15 Select > Deselect (Ctrl + D) to deselect the selection and delete handle out layer (we don't need this layer anymore).
16 Using Rectangle Tool (U), create a thin rectangle with each end touching the handle and zoom (alternatively, you can use the Line Tool).
17 Rasterize the thin rectangle layer and merge it with handle layer by selecting both the layers in the Layers Panel and then going to Layer > Merge Layers (Ctrl + E).
18 Add some color and outlines to the handle. To change the color, go to Layer > Layer Style > Color Overlay and set the color overlay to #686868. For the stroke, go to Layer > Layer Style > Stroke and choose 2px and a color of #ffffff.
Adding the zoom detail
19 Unhide the zoom layer and move it to the top of round03 layer, in the Layer Panel.
20 Create a marquee selection around the round03 shape by Ctrl + clicking on the round03 layer thumbnail in the Layers Panel. Invert the selection by going to Select > Inverse (Shift + Ctrl + I). Select zoom layer and press the Delete key.
21 Keep the marquee selection active, don't deselect it yet. Add an outline using a stroke of 3px and color #323232 by doing to Edit > Stroke. Then add an inner shadow layer style (Layer > Layer Style > Inner Shadow): set the Distance option to 0px and Size option to 25px.
22 Create a new layer below round01. Ctrl + click on the thumbnail of round02 to create another marquee selection. Move the selection vertically using your arrow key so that its lower tip touches the lower tip of round01. Fill the color with black (#000000) by right-clicking on the selection in the canvas and selecting Fill. Deselect (Ctrl + D) and add a Gaussian blur (Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur) with the Radius option set to 15px.
I hope you enjoyed this tutorial. Show us your own work by including it in the Six Revisions Flickr group.

Great tutorial, many thanks :) For some reason steps 11-13 weren't as straight forward for me as the "Rasterize Layer" option was greyed out. Will need to revisit this tomorrow and see if I can find my mistake.

This Desirable Home is on the water canal. Moore your boat within 5 meters of the front of the house. The Home has Three Bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, Open plan Lounge, Kitchen, Dining room, Built in Barbecue on the Canals edge. The Balcony has Magnificent views of the Magaliesberg Mountains as a backdrop to a Canal.
The Islands Estate, situated on 102 ha of prime land on the southern banks of
the Hartbeespoort Dam. The Islands is aptly referred to as South Africa's inland Riviera. The property, developed as a marina, came about as result of the culmination of many ideas by a creative development team.
A key feature of the project is a system of canals - six kilometres of navigable water at various points in the estate, with islands and jetties to accommodate boats. The canals meander between exquisitely designed waterfront homes.
The water in the canal is continuously circulated through an artificial wetland system consisting of a series of interconnecting dams covered with water-loving plants and reeds to ensure water quality of a high standard.
Access from the canals to the Hartbeespoort Dam is made possible by means of bi-directional water locks, with a similar system connecting the lower and upper canals. The bi-directional water lock allows for lowering or rising of six boats at a time (three up and three down) at the two water locks. All the right elements come together in perfect harmony, carefully designed with thoughtful attention to the finest details.
Invest in the development hotspot of Africa and combine the leisure living with sound business sense.

What happened: Washington used a red-hot first quarter to build a 55-40 halftime lead on Chicago in Game 4 at Verizon Center. Trevor Ariza leads the way with 17 points on five three-pointers.
What went well for the Wizards: Washington topped its blistering start in Game 2 by beginning Sunday's game with a 14-0 run behind balanced scoring, three forced turnovers and the sharpshooting of Trevor Ariza, who hit 5 of 6 shots from downtown. Trevor Booker also set the tone with his physicality, blocking two shots while showing plenty of emotion to fans and teammates. A front court already depleted by Nene's suspension took another blow when Booker and Gortat went to the bench in the first quarter with two fouls each, but Washington was able to remain in control, thanks to Drew Gooden's active play and Martell Webster's eight points. More importantly, the Wizards went 7 for 7 from the free throw line. This should pay dividends with the game bound to get tighter in the second half. Defensively, the Bulls clamped down on everyone not named Taj Gibson (see below). The rest of the Bulls were held to a total of 20 points on 7-for-32 shooting while committing 10 turnovers.
This sign of support also went well for Wizards owner Ted Leonsis.

What went wrong for the Wizards: Learning how to play both physical and smart remains something of a challenge. Amidst their strong start, Gortat, Booker, Gooden and Al Harrington all picked up two fouls — a number that could come back to hurt the Wizards late in the game. With the Bulls struggling from the field (37.5 percent shooting), the last thing Washington needed to do was send them to the charity stripe. As he's been prone to do, Gibson capitalized in the paint, scoring 20 of the team's 40 points on 8-for-8 shooting to energize Chicago as its lone source of offense.
What to watch for in the second half: As this physical contest wears on, more fouls are going to be called. With the Wizards' bench one player thinner and four players with at least two fouls, Washington will be need to be smarter on defense. The Wizards will also need to slow down Gibson more. If not for him, this game would be very ugly for the Bulls. Take away his offense and continue to push the tempo, and the Wizards are rolling to a 3-1 series lead.

NEW YORK—Back in New York from Warm Springs, Ga., I found on my desk two appeals from widely different areas of the country, but each of them concerned with the lives of people.
One will seem to many to be of a very localized interest, since it concerns the Eastside Settlement House in Los Angeles, Calif.
In that great city live people of many different origins and backgrounds. This particular group organized in 1919 a Mother's Club, which grew into an organization for operating a shelter for girls and women. Then, in 1942, it was incorporated as the Eastside Settlement House.
This Settlement House was operated entirely by Negro women, many of them working women, and they say their objective is "building character and good citizenship habits and attitudes among young people."
The building in which they have operated has grown shabby over the years and they want to build a new one. This will cost $100,000, and they will need $25,000 more for additional land.
They want to make this a modern community center with a child care center, a teen-age counseling and guidance service, and an adult community center, all under one roof. It will be nondenominational, for among the Negro people of the area there are a variety of religions. But they feel that in their part of Los Angeles such a center can do a great deal of good.
They are discouraged, however, because they can find so little support. They appealed to 89 unions with practically no response, and yet from their area there are many men and women union members.
They appealed to 97 foundations and 14 women's clubs. They chose them all carefully, hoping that their project would be one of interest, but only one foundation gave them a small sum of money and most of the foundations were not interested in the work.
The women's clubs, for the most part, did not respond, and yet one would think they would sense the need of their sisters. Only one club offered some friendly help.
I know this is a little undertaking and that the same thing is being asked of people in every city throughout this great land of ours. But it seems to me that while the response must come largely from their own neighborhood, there should be interest on the part of national organizations that have funds, for the purposes of this group are of value to the whole country.
The other letter tells of a situation in Hobart, Okla., where land is being taken from people to increase the size of government-owned property at Fort Sill. Most of it, I imagine, is needed for the missile range.
The government says that the "unfortunate few" to lose their homes will be only 200 families, but these families think that at least 30,000 people will be affected.
The fundamental question is: Do we need to continue this military buildup in our country?
It seems to me that the Pentagon is fighting the last war, not the war of the future which will need far more than military power alone. We need to review our whole military setup, and we had better do it before we take away the homes of any more people.

Canada defends seal hunt as it asks WTO to void EU ban
AFP Wednesday, March 19, 2014, 12:07 am TWN
GENEVA--Seal-hunters must have the same rights as fishermen, Canada's Environment Minister Leonoa Aglukkaq insisted Monday, as her country battled a Brussels' trade ban at the WTO.
Speaking on the sidelines of a World Trade Organization appeal hearing on the European Union's ban on the import and sale of seal products, Aglukkaq blasted opponents of hunting.
"Everybody, every family is concerned on the territories in Newfoundland, Labrador, Quebec and Nunavut," she told reporters.
"Sealers have the right to make a living like fishers or farmers with the resources of the region," she added.
All told, 6,000 people hunt seals commercially in Canada, chiefly in Newfoundland.
Canada and fellow seal hunter Norway want the WTO to overturn a ruling that it issued in November, in which it said that the EU ban imposed in 2010 did not breach global trade rules.
The WTO ruled that while there was merit in Norway and Canada's complaints, that was outweighed by the EU goal of addressing moral concerns about seal welfare.
"Pandora's box has been opened. Tomorrow, perhaps there'll be a ban on lamb, or pork or poultry for moral reasons," said Aglukkaq.
Canada and Norway appealed in January, and Monday saw the start of a three-day WTO hearing.
"We have lost a battle," Aglukkaq said, vowing to keep up the fight until the ban was voided.
Brussels argues that the EU public overwhelmingly favors the ban, and that scientific evidence backs claims that slaughter methods, such as using a club with a metal spike to stun seals before killing them, are cruel.
Norway and Canada have deployed counter-arguments from scientists, insisting that their seal-hunting methods are humane and no worse than those used in commercial deer-hunting, widespread in the EU.
The countries both kill tens of thousands of seals per year, and say hunting is an age-old method.
"We have a highly regulated industry, based on scientific data," said Aglukkaq.
"A healthy population of seals is not a large population of seals," she added.
Canada says the population of Greenland seals, the main species hunted, has tripled since the 1970s to reach 7.3 million.
The number of Grey seals has meanwhile risen 80-fold to 400,000.
