Spotlight on Ohlone:
Mencher's artwork in 3 galleries
By Devery Sheffer, Staff writer.
Thursday, March 19, 2009—Reprinted from Monitor.
A drunken game of telephone, film noir and photos found at a flea market are just three of several things used as inspiration for an Ohlone teachers' artwork. Kenney Mencher finished his sabbatical about two and a half years ago. This allowed him to get a good portion of his paintings done.
Mencher's art will be displayed in three different art galleries. Each show has a series of different paintings with different themes, but they all display Mencher's capabilities and talent as an artist.
Tango dancers and glasses half-full of water are the themes of the painting that are currently on display at the Amrithika Gallery in Palo Alto. This gallery is more spiritual and new age. Therefore, the paintings on display are non-aggressive, light and fun.
His artwork will be on display until March 31 and the reception will be on March 20 from 6 to 8 p.m.
The Elliott Fouts Gallery in Sacramento has been showing Mencher's work for the last five or six years. Currently on display are 15 of his newest paintings.
Some of them are inspired from film noir, a style of film making in the 1940's and 1950's. These movies have striking black and white shots that are themed around crime and sexuality. Some films that Mencher has been inspired by are Kiss Me Deadly, The Postman Always Rings Twice and Touch of Evil.
Another series of paintings on display at this gallery is one inspired by a game of telephone played by Mencher's friends. Menchers paintings appear to be based off of real pictures of people taken during the game. The paintings show the game from start to finish.
These painting will be on display until April 3.
Mencher is most excited about the last gallery, ArtHaus in San Francisco. This show doesn't start until April 2 and will end on June 27. All of these paintings are done in black, white and sepia tones.
This artwork is based off film still and photos found from thrift stores and flea markets.
Mencher likes to find peoples old photos and "collage the images together [so] they tell more of a story."
These paintings are more ambiguous. The viewer creates their own story of what is going on. Also showing at this gallery with Mencher is Carolyn Meyer, a teacher at the Art Academy in San Francisco. Her painting are done in the same tones as Mencher, but her painting are of cityscapes. The gallery owner James Bacchi wanted two perceptive, a view of the whole city, Meyer's paintings and what was going on in the city, Mencher's paintings.
The reception will be on April 2 from 6 to 8 p.m. Finger food and wine will be served so people can mingle and enjoy the artwork.
Mencher has been teaching at Ohlone for 10 years.
He teaches several art classes including, Life Drawing, Museum and Gallery Techniques and Survey of World Art History.
Mencher can be spotted around campus walking with his little yellow dog Chuck. Besides being a companion, Chuck is also a subject for several of Mencher's paintings.
Typically his paintings sell anywhere from $300 to $3,000. He spends four to eight hours a day in his studio painting.
Along with teaching, Mencher is the curator for the Louie-Meager Art Gallery in the Smith Center on the Fremont Ohlone campus.
The current show at his gallery is The Educated Eye, a collection of photographs by Bay Area artists.
The show began Feb. 27 and will be showing until April 4. The reception will be March 21 from 7 to 8 p.m.
For more information about the galleries and to get a detailed view of Mencher's artwork you can check out his website at www.kenney-mencher.com.

A Hasidic rabbi who advocates for victims of sexual abuse in the ultra-Orthodox community was injured when a chemical was thrown in his face.
Rabbi Nuchem Rosenberg on Tuesday was walking down the street in the Williamsburg neighborhood of Brooklyn, where he lives, when a man approached him from behind, tapped him on his shoulder and then threw a chemical believed to be bleach in his face, according to reports.
Rosenberg, 62, was treated for burns on his face, around his eyes and in his left eye. He is expected to make a full recovery.
"He taps on my shoulder, he says 'whoops' and throws it in my face," Rosenberg told the New York Daily News.
Rosenberg identified the attacker as the son of an accused child sex abuser. He blamed the attack on unrest in the Satmar community over the conviction of Nechemya Weberman on sex charges a day earlier.
"Because of the Weberman case, everything is upside down," he told the News. "Everybody is crazy."
The rabbi runs a website and blog for sex-abuse victims, as well as a telephone hot line.
He told New York media that he believes the attack was in retaliation for his support and assistance of the now 18-year-old female victim of Satmar Hasidic leader Weberman, who was convicted on Monday of 59 counts of sexual abuse of the woman when she was between the ages of 12 and 15 and went to him for counseling.
Police have not yet caught the attacker, though they reportedly have identified a suspect.
On Monday, Rosenberg accused another rabbi of abusing young boys in a blog post on his website, according to the New York Post.

sipping in the crowd like no one could see me
because I wouldn't let them see me. (hahaha)
Suddenly, my favorite song started to play. I
jumped out on the dance floor and waved my hands
around like I was trying to catch loose hair
from my head. It was fun while it lasted. I
finally walked over towards the exit and was
about to leave. I saw someone I had never seen
before. Not here, not anywhere. I had to get
my attention together and snap out of this
dream universe. Like you only see this on
tv. But, this was not me. I've been trapped
in one of those relationships before and I was
not going to let anything else happen, not this
I walked out and went over to this little hot
food stand. They fix the best tacos and snacks
there. So I bought one and walked down the street
heading home. My phone had rang a couple of times,
but I didn't answer it. Tonight was my night to spend.
I saw a band playing music on the corner and
dancers dancing. It was weird, but exciting.

The Deal
One of the most unique forms of two-wheeled transport can be enjoyed with an off-road Segway NI tour. Riders will explore a number of lakeside cross-country courses from the vantage point of their very own Segway. The experience will begin with a brief instruction on controls, allowing visitors to become familiar with the machine. A timed race will bring a friendly competitive element to the session with penalty seconds added for each course marker disturbed, and the results shared for the ultimate bragging rights.
Choose from the following options for a one-hour off-road Segway experience:
£15 for one person (40% off)
£29 for two people (42% off)
Groupon Asks Segway NI's owner Wesley Jameson about riding techniques, the thrill of off-roading, and Segway mind powers.
G: How do you make a Segway 'go'?
"Lean your bodyweight forwards and it moves forwards - the more pressure you apply the faster it will go. To slow down or reverse, simple apply pressure to your heels."
G: How fast do people get to go on the Segways?
"At the start you will be capped at 6mph - this is called 'turtle mode' and allows you to become comfortable with the Segway. Once you're ready we can take the limiter off and you can zoom about at 13mph - trust me its feels a lot faster!"
G: What does the off-road experience consist of?
"It will start with two or three courses to get you ready for the off-road session at the end. Once you're done with these courses you can go off into the wild! You can expect to travel through narrow and uneven paths, trees, mud, bridges, hills, and puddles. We also have two paths for beginner and more advanced users."
G: What is your favourite thing about riding a Segway?
"The fact you simply glide and it's like your mind is controlling where you are going. It's such a relaxing and fun experience; I still love the feeling of using a Segway and I can't see a day when I don't love going full speed along an open path."

I just got back from Disney World, where I got to celebrate the Magic Kingdom's 40th birthday. One of the highlights of the weekend was running (okay, mostly walking) in the Halloween 5K, which took place on Saturday morning at Animal Kingdom. If you haven't done a Disney race, this is a great introduction and a fun way to spend the morning.
Disney 5K runs are different from the half and full-marathons in that they're not officially timed. Most Disney races have a 16-minute mile requirement; if you fall too far behind, you'll be taken out of the race and have to ride in the "golf cart of shame" as they take you to the finish line. You'll still see golf carts on the race path during 5Ks, but only to pick up the injured. What I loved about the 5K was the opportunity for all fitness levels and every member of the family.
There were defintely people who had trained for the race there. I'm sure a lot of them did the Couch to 5K program with this as one of their goals. I love that–you could see their excitement in their faces. But there were also groups like ours that had little kids and strollers. We even saw one big, multi-generational family pushing a grandmother in a wheelchair.
Because it's the Halloween run, many participants wore fun costumes.
Here's how it all worked, if you plan to try one in the future. The race started at 7:00 in the morning. Parking wasn't an issue. The huge line of cars looked intimidating, but it moved very quickly. Since it's a smaller race, it was pretty easy to find people and get what you needed, whether it was water or picking up your race packet a little late (which you can do if you miss picking it up the night before–just have your waiver form with you). There was a DJ playing music and tellling jokes, asking people where they were from and teasing them about their costumes and the like.
People lined up based on their estimated running time, but overall, it was pretty flexible. We were in different groups be we were allowed to all go together.
If took a while for our group to start moving since we were all the way in the back with the stroller group. We went around the parking lot first and then through the park. We even got to see some backstage areas.
One small caveat: While you'll do a lot of walking at Disney World regardless, keep in mind this is 3.2 mile walk/run. You'll be getting up early to get to the race as well. If you like full park days and later nights in the park, this event might tire you out a bit, so consider planning a shorter park day on the day of the race.

When you are done reading about the California Eviction Process below, we recommend you purchase the corresponding California Eviction Notice to be delivered to your Tenant.
Download These Eviction Notices
Use the Button Above or Click here for a Special Offer on these California Eviction Notice Forms
If a Tenant in California is in violation of their lease, either by breaking the terms of lease or by not timely paying rent, the first thing the Landlord should do is serve them with a California 3-Day Eviction Notice.
Serving the 3-Day Notice to the tenant can be accomplished in one of three ways:
- Personal Service. This is one of the quickest ways to serve a tenant. The landlord must go to the tenant's residence or place of work and physically hand them the 3-Day Notice to vacate. If the tenant refuses to accept it, you can leave it there with them.
- Substituted Service. If the landlord cannot find the tenant, the landlord can leave the notice with someone who is of "suitable age and discretion" at the tenant's home or workplace, AND the landlord must mail the notice to the tenant's home. A person of "suitable age and discretion" would be somebody no younger than a teenager. The 3 day notice period (3 days you have to wait before filing an Unlawful Detainer lawsuit) begins one day after the landlord has completed both of these requirements.
- Posting and Mailing. If the tenant cannot be served, another way of accomplishing service is to post (by taping, tacking, or nailing) the 3-Day Notice to the front door of the rental unit, AND to mail the notice to the rental address. Both of these steps must be accomplished for this kind of service to be effective, and the 3 day notice period begins one day after the landlord has done both. Be sure you make copies of everything you send and post so you have proof for the judge. It is also good to have witnesses when posting the notice.
Unlawful Detainer
If the tenant does not pay the rent or cure the default within those 3 days given to them in the notice, the landlord must start an "Unlawful Detainer" lawsuit to evict the tenant. This court case is started in the Superior Court for the county the property is located in. Ask the court clerk for the appropriate form to fill out to start your case. Once your case is filed, the tenant will be served the lawsuit by the court, and will have 5 days to file a written answer. If the tenant does not answer within the 5 days, you will be given a "Writ of Possession" order. If the tenant answers on time, you and the tenant will have to go in front of the judge to plead your case. This is usually within 20 days, and the court will let you know when it is. When you go to court, make sure you bring evidence of the tenant's violations, a copy of the lease, and proof of the 3-Day Notice. If you win the case, the court will issue a writ of possession.
Writ of Possession
Once the landlord wins the case, the Writ of Possession gives the tenant 5 days to move. If they do not move at the end of 5 days, the Sherriff can come physically move out the tenant along with their property (landlord must request this). Note, ONLY the sheriff can remove the tenant. The landlord may never use "self-help" to evict the tenant at any point. Along with the Writ of Possession, the court can also award the landlord back rent, damages, and sometimes attorney's fees. If the tenant acted maliciously, the court will sometimes add an additional fine.
Next Step: We recommend you purchase the corresponding California Eviction Notice to be delivered to your Tenant.

By Kirsten Adshead | Wisconsin Reporter
MADISON — A person can be homeless and a Wisconsin resident.
And a person can be homeless and vote.
But the current controversy involving state Sen. Lena Taylor has shed light on an issue that has taken a backseat to other election debates, such as voter ID and same-day registration: How to protect homeless people's right to vote while preventing fraud at Wisconsin elections.
Advocates for the homeless population say recent changes to election law make it harder for transients to vote, while homeless voting, as alleged in the Taylor story, have opened some serious questions about the integrity of votes.
"Obviously, somebody who is homeless should be able to vote," said Hans von Spakovsky, manager of the Civil Justice Reform Initiative at the conservative Heritage Foundation in Washington, D.C.
"The problem is if they move elsewhere that might not make it into the records the election officials keep, and if they're registering in more than one location, that's obviously a problem, because if they're registering once, twice, three times, then they may be able to vote once, twice, three times," he said.
'Lovehouse' voting
Using an open records request, the Wisconsin-based, conservative news outlet MediaTrackers reported late Monday that 36 people have active voter registrations at an apartment property owned by Taylor, a Milwaukee Democrat, and that at least 23 people voted in the hotly contested April Supreme Court election using that address.
Media Trackers also revealed that Taylor's mother ran an alleged homeless shelter, "Mama Delta's Lovehouse," from the site. The nonprofit has been shut down.
The charge is that an excessive number of voters registered as residents of the property, zoned for significantly fewer occupants, and Taylor may have been complicit in voter fraud.
Some of the registered voters, Media Trackers said, were felons still on extended supervision, and others appear to be from out of state.
Taylor denied wrongdoing, saying in a statement, "There has not been any accessory to voter fraud committed as stated in these accusations."
Rules of residency
From January through October 2010, homeless shelters had served 14,457 people, according to the Wisconsin Department of Commerce Bureau of Supportive Housing. But that number doesn't include homeless people on the street or living with family and friends.
State law does allow people without a permanent residence to use a homeless shelter as their residential address for voting purposes, if the shelter agrees.
Homeless people have the same voting rights as anyone else, provided that they haven't had their voting rights stripped for another reason, such as a felony conviction.
According to the Government Accountability Board, or GAB, which oversees the state's elections:
- Homeless individuals may designate a fixed location as their residence for voting purposes if it is an identifiable location in Wisconsin that could conceivably serve as a temporary residence. That could be a homeless shelter, a park bench or other location where a homeless individual may spend time.
- Homeless voters may continue to claim that residence as a voting address, even if they no longer physically reside at that location or they intend to return. That allows voters who had stayed with friends or family to continue using that address for voting purposes.
- Homeless voters may use a physical location that is not a valid mailing address. If they can describe the place where they stay so the municipal clerk can locate it on a map, a park, street or alley, that location may be used as their "residence" for voting purposes.
- However, homeless individuals still may have to provide a document for proof of residence, and any such document would have to identify that physical location.
Often homeless voters produce a check or other document from a unit of government, including an affidavit from public or private social service agencies, according to GAB.
Advocates for the homeless population Tuesday said they are worried about the effect of new voting laws passed this year.
Voter ID
The homeless population is not exempt from the new law requiring voters to present a photo ID, and shelters are spreading information to their residents about the availability of free IDs from the state.
But homeless people may have difficulty obtaining a copy of their birth certificate, said Wendy Weckler, program director for Hope House, a Milwaukee homeless shelter. The state requires a person prove their name and date of birth with either a birth certificate, valid passport or certificate of naturalization in order to get a state ID.
Weckler, too, said she is worried about a new law extending the residency requirement for Wisconsinites. Voters now have to live in a district for 28 days, instead of 10, before they can vote there.
Hope House allows residents to stay for 30 days, Weckler said. So a 28-day residency period makes it all-but-impossible to establish residency there for voting purposes.
"A lot of (our residents) are wondering if they even can vote," she said.
As for concerns that homeless people can register to vote, and perhaps actually vote, at various places, Weckler said Hope House requires its residents to submit a U.S. Post Office change of address form when they move out.
Von Spakovsky, of the Heritage Foundation, said Wisconsin still doesn't do enough to ensure the integrity of its voter-registration rolls, such as automatically checking new voter registrations against records from the state departments of Motor Vehicles and Corrections.

Steamboat Springs Who hasn't wanted to throw their computer out the window at one time or another?
Johnny Walker, a former middle school shop teacher, along with Lowen Epstein — whose father, David Epstein, runs the landfill that houses the Home ReSource salvage yard — spent the summer working on a contraption that could make that dream a reality.
And they did it all with recycled materials found at the Milner salvage yard.
Used lumber, old barbell weights and rope: Put together properly, these items can be made into a 6-foot-tall modern version of a trebuchet, which is a catapult-like weapon used in the Middle Ages.
"It throws things a long, long way," said Walker.
But why computer monitors?
"It's to help some of us deal with our frustration," he said. "I have a 6-year-old laptop, and it gives me hell. If I could fling it, I probably would."
Since he still has to check his email, Walker said he and the Epsteins plan to have a "launch day" in the near future during which they'll fling several discarded computer monitors from Home ReSource about 100 feet into the air and 100 feet out.
Walker and the younger Epstein weren't the only ones who found a treasure trove of possibilities in what most consider to be junk.
This year, Home ReSource's Creative Community Art project invited artists, or anyone with an "outside the box" mentality, to use recycled materials to create a unique new identity for castaway items.
In addition to the trebuchet, which soon will make its home at Home ReSource, one of the salvage yard's employees, Javier Loya, built an impressive functional windmill out of snowboards.
Tricia Nickerson decorated furniture she found at the yard with recycled materials, and another woman created jewelry out of copper wire and found glass.
A reception scheduled for Saturday was skipped because of the rain, but the new projects created for this year's event will be on display at Home ReSource as the new permanent residents of the salvage yard.
"We kind of feel like even if we get one addition to our sculpture yard each year, we're doing a good thing," David Epstein said. "It's definitely taken off. It's supposed to kind of entice people to be creative with materials and to use them for something other than what they were designed to be used for."
Walker, who creates sculptures mostly from found objects, said the trebuchet is only one example of the art and science that can emerge from the salvage yard.
"Home Resource is a goldmine of found objects," he said. "I'm constantly collecting things."

A Journey in Other Worlds HTML version
good condition for their landing, they divided the remainder of the night into watches,
two going to sleep at a time, the man on duty standing by to control the course and to get
photographic negatives, on which, when they were developed, they found two crescent-
shaped continents, a speckled region, and a number of islands. By 7 A. M., according to
Eastern standard time, they were but fifty thousand miles from Jupiter's surface, the
gigantic globe filling nearly one side of the sky. In preparation for a sally, they got their
guns and accoutrements ready, and then gave a parting glance at the car. Their charge of
electricity for developing the repulsion seemed scarcely touched, and they had still an
abundant supply of oxygen and provisions. The barometer registered twenty-nine inches,
showing that they had not lost much air in the numerous openings of the vestibule. The
pressure was about what would be found at an altitude of a few hundred feet, part of the
rarefaction being no doubt due to the fact that they did not close the windows until at a
considerable height above Van Cortlandt Park.
They saw they should alight in a longitude on which the sun had just risen, the rocky tops
of the great mountains shining like helmets in its rays. Soon they felt a sharp checking of
their forward motion, and saw, from the changed appearance of the stars and the sun, that
they had entered the atmosphere of their new home.
Not even did Columbus, standing at the prow of the Santa Maria, with the New World
before him, feel the exultation and delight experienced by these latter-day explorers of
the twenty-first century. Their first adventures on landing the reader already knows.

Fantastic balcony seaview and great location
Anamarija met us at the airport ( as arranged) and took us by car to the apartment, on the way she described where to find supermarkets, bakery, pharmacy and some other "nice to know things". The apartment is exactly as nice as it looks at the pictures, very clean and all fresch. The kitchen is very well equipped, we didn't miss anything. Extra plus for dishwash tablets and other things to keep the kitchen clean. The bed is very comfortable and nice duvets, a large wardrobe for your clothes. The bathroom is also very good. Wifi was good, there is also a flatscreen tv and a dvd. Most of all we LOVED the balcony with sunbeds , table and chairs, stunning view over the sea. You can walk along the sea for 4km , so nice for a run in the morning. Take the little boat to Trogir, it leaves just 100m from the apartment and cost 20Kuna oneway. Don't miss to buy fresh bread in the bakery, you'll find it just 5 minutes walk from the apartment (direction Trogir). we recomend restaurang Franke, Seaplate for two ,side dish sallad and Rösti, with a bottle of house wine ,approx 430 Kuna, tasteful and nice location with seaview. I almost forgot to mention the nice little beach, amazing to swim and so close to "home". Thankyou Anamarija, we would love to come back. Regards Marianne & Hasse
Sehr erholsam in schöner Atmosphäre ;-)
Wunderschöne, bestens ausgestattete und gepflegte Wohnung mit uneingeschränktem Blick aufs Meer, Strand fußläufig in 2 Minuten erreichbar, zum Wassertaxi sind es 3 Minuten Fußweg. Sehr freundliche und hilfsbereite Gastgeber. Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt sehr genossen und würden jederzeit wiederkommen.
Etwas gewöhnungsbedürftig ist der leichte Fluglärm, und der Strand wirkte leicht ungepflegt. Dies liegt aber ja nicht im Einflussbereich der Vermieter.
absolutely fabulous !
We had appartment number 1 and it looked exactly like in the pictures. It was very clean and smelled fresh. The view was absolutely stunning. You could sit on the balcony and have breakfast for hours and hours. The location was good. If you come by car you can easely go to several different beaches, the krka waterfalls and of course Trogir and Split. Anamarija is very friendly and helpfull.
We hope to come again ...
Great views, well looked after.
The apartment was very clean and well equipped, with great views over the sea to the island opposite. It's very conveniently placed a stones throw from the beach and a short walk into the nearby town with shops and restaurants etc. The owner is very welcoming and not intrusive, but on hand if you need something. If you have a car, most local attractions are within an hours drive. Recommended.
Exactly as described infact better than!
That balcony sold it to us! Fantastic view overlooking the sea near to the shops, sea, local restaurants and bars.
Very clean and very tasteful decor.
Anamarija visited on the first day and was very helpful. We arranged for her father to pick us up and return us to the airport so made it all very easy.
We had a really relaxing time and would thoroughly recommend this property.
Many thanks to Anamarija and her family.
Incredible week !
The host was very friendly and supportive.
We were always able to stay in contact and get help. Even though we arrived earlier we could add an extra night without a problem.
The apartment itself was very modern with a great view of the coast and offered everything needed. The local markets can be easily accessed within 10 minutes of walking or by bus.
Overall we highely recommend this accommodation !

I have to admit that the right and intelligent thing to do for Boothe and his agent is to wait for FA to start and see his value in the open market then if Boothe really want to stay in Blue he will come back with Reese and try to match any offer he has on the table. Boothe is a very intelligent and bright guy and I'm sure he'll go this way. Boss and SS are banging their heads literally for not doing so.
" Success is never final, but failure can be " B.P.
We give Boothe a take it or leave it offer.

I wasnt stating it to indicate every guy needs to be an all pro. i was stating it bc the fact he isnt all pro material imo means hes not someone who cant be replaced...thought that was obvious but i see how i coulda been confusing
Reese has taken care of Beatty and he won't do it again for a lineman. However, if he can get Boothe he should. Don't forget he can move over to center if we needed him to.

I had Perlane over three years ago, and it developed hard nodules around my mouth and in the naso folds. Three rounds of Vitrase have not removed the balls around my mouth. Is there a technique or physician who can help? One doctor said scar tissue had been formed, another said muscle. I tried more restylane in the upper face to balance it, but everything seems to swell in lower face after a few weeks (similar to Farah Fawcett - not as bad). What options are there?
Can a Physician Safely Remove Hard Restylane Nodules - and How to Find That Specialized Doctor?
Doctor Answers 9
Perlane and nodules
Dr. Shelton answers this as I would have. It's very unusual to have an allergic or immune reaction to the product but in this instance, it could be the case.
Fort Lauderdale Perlane
Perlane duration
It would be highly unusual for Perlane to last three years. It is more likely that you have had a foreign body reaction to the injection. If this is the case, discuss with plastic surgeon, but hyaluronidase will not work.

Hard nodule after Perlane
Hard nodules after Perlane may indicate that this is a very rare granuloma, an immune reaction to the product that rarely ever happens, or it was not Perlane but a different product, or a biofilm has attached itself to the outside of the product and a collagen type of scar capsule has been created. Antibiotics and a biopsy may be worthwhile prior to an excision of the material. I would not suggest much more filler in the adjacent areas until more is known.
Web reference: http://www.thenyac.com/restylane/index.html
What to do about hard filler nodules present after 3 years?
It is excedingly rare to get hard nodules from a hyaluronic acid filler, especially those lasting for three years. Hyaluronic acid fillers last approximately a year at most.
When there is a reaction to hyaluronic acid fillers, it is usually redness, swelling, bruising or pain.
However, sometimes hyaluronic acid fillers like Restylane or Perlane are used in combination with more permanent fillers like hydroxyethylmethacrylate (HEMA) and ethylmethacrylate (EMA).
These fillers (HEMA and EMA) are known to cause problematic reactions in patients.
In addition, there are sometimes illegal out-of-country products used for injections.
Two things that I would recommend doing:
1. Get a biopsy of one of the nodules done by a board-certified dermatologist to determine the nature of the nodules. It can be an allergic reaction, like a foreign-body granuloma that was seen in the past with fillers like silicone or an infection, among other things. I believe a biopsy is essential in this case.
2. If possible, get records of what you were injected with and let the dermatologist know.
Can a Physician Safely Remove Hard Restylane Nodules - and How to Find That Specialized Doctor?
Does seem odd if it was an HA injected. But anything is possible. Excision might be your only choice! From MIAMI Dr. darryl J. Blinski
I do not believe this is Perlane
I would get your records and verify that the doctor reported this odd event to Medicis. Odds are, you were told it was Perlane, but it was a different product, and possible one not legal in the US. This happens more than you would think.
Web reference: http://www.drmarylupo.com
Hyaluronic acid filler nodules
A good first step would be to get the records from your injections. It makes a difference what was injected as to what the treatment is.
Many times patients are told or recall that they have had one filler, only to find out they had something different.
If hyaluronidase has not helped, patients can consider focal steroid injections, or have the lumps excised.
More problematic fillers are the semipermanent fillers and silicone, the worst im my opinion.
Web reference: http://www.drbrent.com/index.php
Scar tissue afer filler
If the hyaluronidase did not help then it may be scar tissue and you may want to consider having it excised if it is bothering you.

Demolish half brick wall
1 Attachment(s)
I would like to demolish half a brick wall that stands between my living room and kitchen. I will then have a bench/counter fitted to be used as a table with stools on the side of the kitchen.
In my opinion this is way too complicated but I have attached a sketch of what is on the was so as for you to let me know if this is possible or not.
What do you suggest?
was the kitchen or living room an add on addition and the exterior brick wall was left up as part of the addition or is it a fake brick wall?
A couple of pics of the actual wall may help.

I will post some pictures soon but my ultimate goal is to do this:
This is the wall that I want to demolish. I want to remove the top half or most of the top half to make it a bar:
This is the big picture:
This is the wall I want to place the TV on or on a piece of furniture:
This is the other side of the wall that I want to demolish:
Any ideas? I know its difficult but at least I'll give it a shot!
What country are you in? - The heating, cooling and electrical outlets suggest that question.
The only brick I see are just surface tiles applied for a backsplash above the countertop.
Is the wall you want to open up made of masonry (brick, block, clay tile) or is a framed wall using steel studs or wood?
You definitely have a lot of electrical and heating/cooling in the wall you want to remove. It would be good to have a local professional look at the situation to determine the feasibility. the concept would certain open up the small spaces into a larger one.
I live in Cyprus.
The wall is made up of masonry.
Yes I agree that there are a lot of electrical and heating/cooling in the wall. I will not remove or move any heating hubs but the aircondition might need to move.
Well, at least my observation ability has not deteriorated with age. - I was thinking of Greece and not Turkey and just overlooked Cyprus. Most of what I saw in Turkey was different orientation and heights of outlets. Cyprus has had and long and rich history and influence by both the Greeks and Turks
You walls are probably hollow clay tile (cores either horizontal or vertical) or even solid block with a plastered surface and the channels in the tile routed out for wiring before the final plaster coats. I was always amazed how the 3" or 4" tile can be routed out with a hammer to install the electrical and mechanical to created a very sound wall. The walls could even be pumice blocks since pumice is common, desirable and available in your area. I spent some time in Yali, between Greece and Turkey where there are some of the largests resurces of high quality pumice in the world.
Depending on your abilities, you will need a local craftsman to assist you.

About Me
***Scheduling Shoots For June 2015 through August 2015***
Thanks for visiting my profile! I've been modeling on and off for several years now, and consider myself very experienced. I tend to gravitate towards sexier work such as lingerie and implied, although I have experience with several different styles and am trying to do more work in other genres such as commercial, beauty, and artistic. I am currently accepting offers for limited TFP if I feel that your work will enhance my portfolio. If not, I do have extremely reasonable rates.
Overall, I love collaborating on an idea and turning it into a finished piece. Want to tell a story? Evoke a particular emotion? Try something you're dying to see if it can be done? Let's do it. I shoot well in studio, but I also love on-location shoots too. I don't mind getting dirty, trekking all over to find the right spot, or spending hours finding the perfect shot. At the end of the day, I want to have helped create that perfect image that we can both agree was worth our efforts.
As I've mentioned, I have extremely reasonable rates, and don't be afraid to ask about them. I'm not here to charge an arm and a leg for the privilege of shooting with me, trust me. I may bring both experience and skill to the table, but I'm here to help create beautiful images. Let's negotiate what works for what you're looking to accomplish.
If travel expenses are paid, I'm willing to travel. If the location is less than 25 miles from my zip code, don't worry about it.
I'm available most Saturday and early Sundays to shoot, and have limited weekday availability. Don't be afraid to ask!
I do have three small tattoos, all of which are located on my torso and easily hidden if need be.
Please note that my hair is currently a medium auburn and roughly shoulder length. I am in the process of growing it.

Here's a selection of photos from Barcelona we found on the popular Flickr site covering various aspects of pickpocketing in our city.
Photo #1 by Joel and Trish Chong from Australia, taken on July 11th, 2009 and viewed 19 times.
They commented: "Pickpockets – Trish was expecting the pickpockets to look a lot less civilian and a lot meaner with tattoos and piercings….."
Photo #2 by José Eugenio Gómez Rodríguez from Mexico, taken on June 26th, 2009 and viewed 24 times.
He commented: "Íbamos caminando por el "Barrio Gótico" (tan bonito) de Barcelona cuando de repente un poco hacia adelante vimos una pequeña conmoción, gritos de mujer, y que un hombre empezaba a golpear a otro, que empezó a correr, con la suerte de que se le atravesó a un taxi…. que lo golpeó. En el piso, el otro lo empezó a patear, pero la voz femenina gritó "¡La billetera!!… ¡¡La billetera!!!" Entonces dejó de patearlo para buscar su billetera que había quedado debajo del taxi. Entonces entendí que intentaron "bolsear" a otro turista. Se levantó el ladrón y corrió, y este tipo, que había estado a la expectativa muy cerca, corrió en mi dirección, pero estuve listo para tomarle la foto hasta que había pasado por donde yo estaba."
This translates into English as: "We were walking around the "Gothic District" (very nice) of Barcelona when suddenly a little in front of us we saw a small commotion, screams of women and a man beginning to hit another, who began to run, with the luck that he went toward a taxi…. it hit him. On the floor, the other one started kicking, but the female voice shouted "The wallet!!… The wallet!" Then he stopped kicking to find his wallet under the taxi. Then I realised that he had attempted to "bag" a tourist. The thief got up and ran towards me, but I wasn't ready to take a photo until he had already passed where I was."
Photo #3 by Chris Bray from New York, taken on July 3rd, 2009 and viewed 11 times.
He commented: "Barcelona – Tagged by a pickpocket."
Photo #4 by Lynne from England, taken on October 8th, 2006 and viewed 78 times.
She commented: "Pickpocket – Beware the pickpockets, this one (in the yellow) had just tried to lift my brother-in-law's wallet – foiled by my sister. She soon scuttled off when she saw me taking this photo – blurred to prevent identification, we think they were working together, posing as tourists."
There were two comments to her photo on Flickr.
First, by "carwax", who said: "your too kind to blur out their identity. let's see those crooks!"
Second, by the photographer herself who said: "It was tempting, but I am not judge and jury. We didn't report her to the police after all. Also she didn't get away with anything and she had a scare. Let that suffice.It is interesting in tourist areas to play "spot the picpocket" though. Just watch for people who stand around trying to blend in, they'll always be carrying a map or a newspaper, but not really doing anything."
Photo #5 by Arabella from California, taken on October 8th, 2007 and viewed 217 times.
She commented: "Money belt DON'T – When wearing a money belt, try to not wear it over your clothes and on your back… I was tempted to pickpocket them myself ;>"
There was one comment to her photo on Flickr.
"deep-ina-pockett" said "totally agree, arabella! why have a money belt if you don't WEAR IT LIKE A BELT!!! you should have pickpocketed them just to teach them a lesson."
Photo #6 by Christine McIntosh from Scotland, taken on September 16th, 2010 and viewed 19 times.
She commented: "Las Ramblas, evening – We had been so warned of the dangers of pickpockets that it felt like being in an armed column as we marched along clutching our bags."
There were two comments to her photo on Flickr.
The first, "poor_mans_platini" said "Our hotel was just on the right hand side of this picture. We witnessed daily pick pocketing activity!"
The second, from the photographer herself, replied "Maybe we scared them off – all 53 of us!"
Photo #7 by Isabel Alexandre from Brazil, taken on January 4th, 2011 and viewed 2 times.

Back in 2007-2008 MovingCities was setting up a research project dealing with the Chinese presence in the Flemish Region, Belgium: Take-Away China. While the research stopped (for better lack of funding…) in the mean time Urban China Magazine published Take-Away China in their ChinaTown-issue. Read the full text below.
A self-initiated research, supported initially by a Development Grant, and in collaboration with Dr. Chin Ling Pang, Take-Away China was supposed to be presented ar EUROPALIA China 2009 as part of an exhibition and publication.
Where in the Chinatowns of the big cities difference is the key to stand out, the driving iconographic force of the Chinese restaurants in a sprawl condition is similarity and recognition. Isolation makes them stand out.
Here, the Chinese presence is the result of an interesting result of a global iconography, the ultimate empire of signs. Each restaurant is a variation on similar signs and themes.
This project conducts research into location and iconography of the Chinese restaurant when it is singled out in the monotonous and low-density urban-rural landscape of Flanders, Belgium. Done in collaboration with a professor of anthropology of KULeuven, Dr. Chin Ling Pang, the fi nal outcome will be an exhibition and publication.
Background to observing China outside of China
After our first year living and working in Beijing, we spent some weeks in Europe. For a strange reason we didn't expect anything from a condition that was during the past decades so familiar, were we grew up, studied and worked. Our travels in Europe brought us to our home-countries, Belgium and Portugal.
In Europe the pace of urban development, architecture and street life bare no connection with our daily life in China. This disconnection felt liberating and necessary, awkward and easy. We were in a state of escapism that worked both ways; we temporarily went in rehab from our addiction to Chinese urban transformation and at the same experienced a renewed urban Venice Biennale of Architectureescapism, due to a year-long enstrangement from the European urban condition.
But soon we realized we were living an illusion; in a globalized world everything is everywhere. Driving and walking around we started noticing everywhere the Chinese presence, as China has been proliferating, disseminating and expanding throughout the world. A lot of research goes into understanding those areas where the congestion of Chinese presence, the amassing of capital, goods, people and food create archipelago's of Chinese presence. Commonly this phenomena is referred to as Chinatown; examples and histories can be found in this issue. A small roadtrip through our countries brought another Chinese presence to the light, one that demands another reading. This is the one where the Chinese presence is thinned out, spread hitherto, punctual interventions in local cultures. It is with the objective to stimulate, registrate and debate the history and future of this penetrating of Chinese culture that we undertook a field trip into this phenomenong. This not only to combine our interests in shifting and moving cultures, but to find connections and to naively discuss the seemingly evident; as detectives we roamed the smaller cities, searched for signs of Chinese presence in sprawl condition.
This research in progress doesn't discuss the benefit of the cultural congestion occuring in the global ChinaTowns, but focusses on the presence in small villages. In order to be more visible, distinct and understandable, not seldom in seemingly hostile cultural conditions, the owners have to grasp a weird kind of essence of what China represents.
Observations during a field trip in sprawlland
Driving through smaller cities in the vicinity of our hometowns we started noticing the presence of China scattered over the territory, hidden in the corners of the city and sometimes strategically located in different parts of the city (along highways or near the centers). Not to our surprise what we found were restaurants and take-away shops. Currently we refer to this as the take-away Chinese culture; for example in a flemish city of 50,000 inhabitants we found 8 different Chinese restaurants. We started taking pictures of them, analysing their architectural aesthetics, mapping the different signs the owners thought would provoke an image of China.
This take-away culture is the experience the majority of the people in these smaller cities will ever have of China. China is experienced through numbers (food turned into a numerological order) and loose articles (chopsticks, golden pigs, cats and lions at the entrance). At this stage of the research we mapped the facades and the building volumes in the hope that an in-depth study into the the economical, geographical and sociological background will follow. Due to their embedding in the local context we feel that, more than in Chinatowns, this cultural cross-over demands a different analysis. Children go to local schools, the economical and cultural dominance ruling the territory is one that doesn't has a single reference to Chinese culture, as opposed to what one can expect from Chinatowns, where an internal logic and culture makes that the inhabitants keep a connection of the Chinese culture.
At the same time each of these fragments one can find in smaller cities present a full image of China; the restaurants embody the whole of the experience. It combines the essence of both the visitors' expectation as gives the comfort of a familiar exterior and interior decoration to the owner. As such the Chinese presence has become an interesting play of global iconography, the ultimate empire of signs, each restaurant a recombination of similar signs and themes. Where in the congested presence of Chinatowns difference is the key to stand out, in the thinned out presence in sprawl condition similarity and recognition is the driving force. As such they present all variations on the same theme. It is the isolation that makes them stand out.
In that isolation the facade and the names of the restaurants present the common knowledge about China. Names such as Extreme Orient, New Beijing City, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Oriental, King's Garden, Canton Kitchen or The Great Wall are all shortcuts between different cultures, and if this would not be convincing enough, the owners add regularly to it that they offer a typical Chinese cuisine. Paradoxically, being typical is what makes them stand out. Being typical is a stamp of approval. In smaller cities people do not like exceptions.
These initial observations lead us in the direction of the "Learning from Las Vegas"-research and theory Venturi, Scott Brown & Izenour have developed a couple of decades ago. In a condition that is far less congested than the Las Vegas Strip, that is less competitive – one Chinese restaurant doesn't has to compete with its neighbor for attention – another reasons must exist why Chinese symbols dominate the facade, the interior and exterior space. Would it be the attempt to create authenticity, the exploration of a culture of experience, the Chinese restaurant as an isolated condition, almost like a holiday location in your own city? A temporarily suspension of cultural identity, a short travel to the other side of the world, with the comforting thought that one is still at home? As an architectural analysis one could defend that through the use of effective symbolic images these restaurants, this take-away culture, combine an obvious visual order with an individual order and logic. On the topic of the symbol, Venturi, Scott Brown & Izenour wrote the following; "Symbol dominates space. Architecture is not enough. Because the spatial relationships are made by symbols more than by forms, architecture in this landscape becomes symbol in space rather than form in space." What we have found are symbols; for us, Europeans living in China, merely a spark of recognition of a broader culture, but probably for the majority the essence of the Chinese culture itself.
