Sharp rise in home equity rates?Dean Foust
Had lunch today with David Hale, the preeminent international economist who was in Atlanta to give a speech. Hale was just back from the Federal Reserve conference in Jackson Hole over the weekend, and said that from his conversations with Fed officials, that the central bank may be prepared to raise rates higher than is widely believed.
Based on his conversations with Fed officials, Hale believes that the Fed won't stop raising rates until the Fed Funds rate hits 4.5% -- and he thinks it's quite possible the central bank takes the Fed Funds rate up to 5%. Not that the Fed is trying to prick the housing bubble; Hale believes the Fed simply wants to cool real economic growth (meaning, after subtracing inflation) back down to the 3%, and they believe it could mean taking rates up to 5%. Of course, this scenario assumes that long-term rates don't move dramatically (the Fed has been mystified that long-term rates -- which are controlled not by the Fed, but by the private markets -- haven't moved in tandem with short term rates, resulting in a flattening yield curve). If long-rates did begin to move on their own, then that could negate this much Fed tightening.
But if Hale's hunch proves correct, that could spell bad news for anyone with a home-equity line or an adjustable rate mortgage. That could mean home equity rates, which are generally pegged to the prime rate, could climb to 8% or higher. And it was just 18 months ago that many of these home equity loans pegged to the prime rate were as low as 3.75% or 4%.

Mr. Muhlstock does not always treat the human face kindly, but his acerbity is never without a certain tenderness, and the faces that are most deeply marked by misery and destitution always have some indescribably sympathetic quality that does not emanate from them but from this compassionate artist . . . And this seems to be the core of the artist's inspiration, this intimate compassion that he brings to the harsh fates captured in these faces. Everywhere we see the mark of something lost that cannot be recovered. This feeling of irrevocability combines with the sensual melancholia of these gazes and tempers it, extends it, conferring a more spiritual, more profoundly human sensibility.

Red Wings Rally for 6-5 Road Win
The Red Wings will bring a little momentum with them back to Rochester as they begin a four-game series against the Norfolk Tides at Frontier Field Saturday night.
Trailing 4-0 after six innings Friday, the Wings seemed well on the way to their sixth loss in eight games on their three-city North division road trip. However, Brad Nelson delivered a two-out, bases clearing double in the eighth inning to propel the Wings past the Lehigh Valley IronPigs, 6-5, at Coca-Cola Park in Allentown, PA.
The Wings (44-37) split the two-game set with Lehigh Valley and picked up a game is both the division and wild card races in the process. The Red Wings – who play 13 home games over the next 16 days before the All-Star Break – trail Syracuse by 5.0 games in the North and now hold a 2.0-game lead over Columbus and Buffalo in the Wild Card chase.
After a Leandro Castro RBI single in the sixth inning gave Lehigh Valley the 4-0 lead, Rochester answered right back with two in the top of the seventh – their first runs of the series after being shutout over the first 15 innings.
Chris Colabello started the rally with a leadoff single and was knocked home on a triple from Chris Herrmann. Nelson followed with an RBI groundout to bring home Herrmann and cut the 'Pigs lead in half at 4-2.
Trailing 5-2 in the eighth, the Wings worked their two-out magic. With runners at the corners, Colabello delivered a base hit up the middle scoring Eric Farris who doubled with one out. Herrmann then worked a walk off IronPigs reliever Cesar Jimenez to load the bases and set the stage for Nelson who wasted no time delivering his biggest hit of the season.
Nelson drove the first pitch he saw from Jimenez to the left-center field gap, clearing the bases to give the Red Wings their first lead off the series. The double for Nelson was his first hit in 10 at-bats on the road trip.
The relief duo of Aaron Thompson and Ryan Pressly worked a perfect eighth and ninth inning, respectively. The save for Pressly was his fourth in five chances this season.
Sean Gilmartin made his third start of the season for Rochester allowing four runs on seven hits and two walks over six innings. Gilmartin yielded a two-run homer to Sebastian Valle in the second inning that gave Lehigh Valley a 3-0 lead. The southpaw has now allowed one home run in each of his first three starts with the Wings after surrendering only two in 12 starts at Double-A.
Friday's win was just the third this season for Rochester when trailing after seven innings (3-32).
RHP Alex Meyer (4-4, 3.79) takes the mound in Saturday's series opener at Frontier Field.

you go green fairy, and lol, martina!!!Originally Posted by MadQuilter
I have started conversations with ppl, all glazed over and staring at their clothing, like it's the hope diamond! :oops: :D
only one sewing machine? never heard o' such, lol.
I have the biggest room in the house for my quilting, and there is a twin size bed, in this pc room, lol. Guess ppl know where my priorities are, lol!
Our fabrics are not just cloth...oh no...they are family. I even have a guard-monkey, and guard-kitties in my cave.
I have never woke up with a needle in my hand, but I have woke up with a great quilt idea, and went to sleep talking to ppl on board, about quilting. oh, just remembered a dream I had, got to go pm somebody! see - quilting on the brain, LOL!!!! :lol:
Love the list, so true.
Im so bad that my master bedroom is my sewing room. I sleep in the small bedroom, who need room to sleep?
...you use easter egg dye to make your spaghetti look like thread
...your idea of "gettin lucky" is finding a good sale on fat quarters
...when you look at food and find interesting quilting patterns in it
...when you hem a pair of pants that end up being shorts because "it's perfect for my next quilt"
Yes, I will admit I am an addicted quilter because:
I send my husband out on fishing trips so I can have ALONE time with my sewing machine.
When he comes home with fish I grab tracing paper to trace the scale pattern for a quilting project.
When I tell my husband we can't get a loan for a big screen TV because we're still paying off ONE of my sewing machines. (My 13inch tv still works!)
When I tell my husband HE has to fix the car instead of taking it to a mechanic because this coming weekend is a quilt shop hop weekend!
When I tell my daughter I need to fix her jeans and return them too her covered in colorful patches and embroidery. (Yep, I've done that!)
When my husband bought me a bouquet of "FAT QUARTER FLOWERS" for our anniversary.
When my husband plans a trip to BASS PRO SHOPS and gives me the car keys and credit card and says, "Have fun!" He knows he won't be disturbed for AT LEAST 4 hours!
My idea of "lunch with the girls" consists of a balogna sandwich while shopping at the quilt shop.
My idea of dinner and a movie is Kentucky Fried Chicken in front of the TV watching quilting/sewing videos.
So, yes I am addicted to sewing/quilting. I look at it this way, I am a reformed alcoholic (sober 24 years) and I NEED something to spend the extra income on!
If you think that ANY of the above is true, you would be mistaken....ALL OF THE ABOVE IS TRUE AND HAS BEEN DONE BY ME PERSONALLY!
We used to have a Legget's that turned into Belks in our community when I moved here 32 years ago. They had a fabric department in their basement. I still run across fabric I purchased there when I am looking through my stash. I have several quilts that I know have fabric from there.
When you wake up in the morning after going to bed (not falling asleep in a chair ) with a quilting needle that you stuck in your nightgown the night before still stuck there. :roll:
You still cook??? :shock:Originally Posted by Ninnie
My DH has been "on his own" now for a couple of years. You need to train yours better!!!
ps - my "excuse" was that I went on a diet and lost 50 lbs. I just couldn't eat the stuff he liked, and I couldn't resist the temptation to eat it if I cooked it. Hope this helps!
I bought a 4 bedroom house with a basement and 2 1/2 car garage, just so I would have room for all my hobbies and still have a guest room for my parents. BTW - I live alone with my dog. :D
I loved reading this. I really like the bouquet of "FAT QUARTER FLOWERS". That's LOVE! What a lucky woman you are.

High home prices mean that this argument should not be the least bit persuasive to city council members voting on the Bethlehem zoning ordinance:
"I would have thought twice about buying the beautiful house I live in now if there was an office building because I don't want it commercialized," East Market Street resident Mary Anne Lynch said.
If you look at the prices on this map, you will see that the homes closest to downtown are priced higher than ones further away. The most expensive homes in Bethlehem are mostly clustered around downtown, and ones near the historic district are especially expensive.
What does this mean? It means lots of people would like to live in that neighborhood. The high prices are the exchange value. They represent how much money Mary Anne Lynch and owners of similar properties could trade their very beautiful homes for.
That people are willing to pay a lot more for these homes than for other homes means that Mary Anne Lynch should have very little political leverage in this zoning fight. Lots and lots of people would be very happy to take her place, so there's no political imperative to do what she wants.
If city council allows businesses to use storefronts in the neighborhood, and Mary Anne Lynch decides she prefers to live in a single-use residential neighborhood because of this, the neighborhood is certainly not going to collapse. All that's going to happen is that a different person will buy her house who does prefer to live in a mixed use neighborhood.
If this was a fragile neighborhood teetering on the edge of decline, rich people threatening to leave would carry more political weight. But does anybody really think no other rich people are going to buy these beautiful homes if the current owners take their toys and go live somewhere else? Please.

Belding bus driver suspended after leaving sleeping student on bus
BELDING — A bus driver for Belding Area Schools has returned to work after being temporarily suspended when a child was left on the bus.
According to Superintendent Leslie Mount, Belding preschool students were dropped off at the Early Childhood Center at 1 p.m. Feb, 28. A female bus driver, who Mount declined to name, let the children off, did her normal check of the bus, walked throughout the bus and looked at all of the seats, but one child was under a seat and had fallen asleep.
"The bus driver did not see the child," Mount said. "Obviously, it is a mistake that cannot happen. We take full responsibility. The driver had an impeccable record before this and she is one of our best drivers."
After checking her bus, the bus driver drove to the middle school parking lot. Mount said that was about a 10 minute process. At around 1:10 p.m. the driver exited the bus to have lunch.
Mount said at 1:45 p.m. the school received a call that someone had seen the child unsupervised.
"The bus supervisor immediately called the bus driver, who attended to the child immediately," she said. "She brought the child back to school and the child was fine."
Mount said at 1:55 p.m. the bus supervisor called the mother of the child. Mount then received a call from the bus supervisor at 2:15 p.m.
"I then called the mother personally to explain the situation," Mount said. "Since that time, disciplinary actions have been taken. The bus driver was issued a suspension and was removed from that particular preschool route. She is back to work as of this week."
According to Mount, current policies involving the situation will be reviewed.
"Anytime something like this happens, it makes you stop and consider (the policies)," she said. "They are there for a reason, it was a mistake and it can't happen."

Load up Cloud Chamber for the first time and you might be confused as to what it actually is. Investigate North's ambitious and original title won plaudits following the game's original Danish Beta last year, but as an outsider looking in you might be confused as to just how much it can be considered a game at all.
Cloud Chamber follows in the footsteps of the likes of In Memoriam, 42 Entertainment's I Love Bees and Nine Inch Nails' Year Zero. Yes, we're in ARG (Alternate Reality Game) territory; but where those projects had you scouring fake websites on the internet, decoding sound files or traipsing around the world to find payphones in a hunt to get to the bottom of their central mysteries, Cloud Chamber is entirely self-contained.
You see, everything in Cloud Chamber occurs within the game client. There's no external websites to be hacked into, you won't be rudely awoken in the middle of the night by strange voicemails, and you won't receive real-life emails from the characters in the game. Instead, unraveling Investigate North's mystery involves moving through a variety of 3D landscapes and examining video, photos and scanned documents in an effort to try and piece together exactly what is going on.
Cloud Chamber's story revolves around Kathleen Petersen, an ambitious young physicist working for her Father's scientific research group, the Petersen Institute. Kathleen is simultaneously trying to uncover the truth about her late mother, but also attempting to make a breakthrough in how we understand the universe. Video takes the form of "found footage" (think The Blair Witch Project or Paranormal Activity), while there's also a multitude of diary entries, text messages, emails, transcripts and photographs of people, places and plenty of equipment to be examined for clues. With everything presented out of chronological order, it's up to you to try and make sense of it all. It's partly a mystery, partly a sci-fi thriller, though despite some of the odd goings on, Investigate North has grounded it all in believable science, painstakingly ensuring that the various ideas explored in the game are based in fact.
They've achieved this in part by working closely with CERN. In case you didn't know, CERN is responsible for creating the Large Hadron Collider, as well as effectively being the organization behind the genesis of the World Wide Web. Over the years, the laboratory has made numerous scientific breakthroughs, so, basically, they know their neutrinos from their protons. Their output in-game is most keenly felt in the smattering of documentary excerpts littered around each of the game's landscapes, fleshing out some of the concepts and ideas behind the narrative and providing everything with just enough plausibility to keep you intrigued and not write the whole thing off as a load of old cobblers.
Aside from the science-y stuff, the various videos and documents gradually uncover the relationship between Kathleen and her colleagues, as well as her history with her father and the legacy of her mother. As everything is presented out of sequence and via dribs and drabs, you'll often think you have an idea of how everything fits together, only to come across something which raises yet further questions or requires you to re-evaluate your understanding. There's a risk that it could all end up suffering the same fate as The X-Files and end up presenting too many questions and not enough answers, but so far Investigate North appears to have a clear understanding of how everything fits together to make the bigger picture. With at least 5 "seasons" planned to be released over time (no decision yet on whether these will be free to download or will require you to pay for the content), it looks like it's going to be a while before we really uncover everything about Kathleen, her family and the true nature of "the experiment". The use of recognizable actors does somewhat subtract from the believability of the footage you watch – Gethin Anthony (who played Renly Barathion in Game of Thrones) and Jesper Christensen (who played Mr White in Quantum of Solace and Casino Royale) both have major roles – but at least it means that everything is well acted, while providing the whole thing with a degree of prestige uncommon for these sorts of projects.
Of course, this is an ARG, so social interaction is key to the experience. In Cloud Chamber, every time you open up a "node" to examine another bit of evidence, a chat thread also opens up alongside it, filled with the comments and thoughts of other players, complete with a Reddit-style voting button against each. You can also send messages to other players directly via an in-game mail system, and keep track of when your comments receive replies in various threads. To act as an incentive to do so, some of the nodes in the game are blocked off until you've contributed enough to the overall discussion.
It's certainly an interesting idea – not to mention a brave one – but it's also incredibly risky: if players don't interact with each other then the entire thing will fall down, while there's always the potential to come across major spoilers in the various message threads. There's also the danger that players coming to the party late could be left behind and faced with a mass of dead message boards, so the regularity of future updates will be key to keeping people involved in the experience. It's certainly a bold move by the developer though, and the ability to report comments should hopefully minimize some of the risks involved, but only time will tell if the whole thing is a success.
Visually, the environments you find yourself in are pleasingly abstract, and many of them could happily reside on your desktop as wallpaper. There's plenty of neon lighting, wireframe models and 3D-rendered mountains and trees, and the documents you'll examine all look believable. Meanwhile the found-footage segments of the game benefit from decent production values courtesy of the team behind the hit Danish TV show The Killing, the whole thing is well-written, and it's all driven along by a pleasant electronica soundtrack featuring artists such as Burial and Trentemøller.
Cloud Chamber is certainly an interesting project, and with its release on PC and Mac projected for the end of the month you don't have long to wait to see if it's a success or not. Having played through around half of the first season, I'm happy to report that the various story threads do a good job of keeping you intrigued, though I do wonder whether the game's dependence on social interaction over actual gameplay will turn some people off. It's certainly not the first game to attempt to bring ARG principles into the videgame space, and it most likely won't be the last – but the fact it exists at all is enough to make it noteworthy. And at least it's providing something a bit different from the usual fare of shooting aliens in space, racing cars, or the announcement of yet another MOBA. ARGs are hardly a crowded genre, and there's a confidence in how Investigate North is bringing all of the game's disparate ideas together that's worthy of respect.
Ambitious, well-written, intriguing and risky – all these terms and more can be used to describe Cloud Chamber, but so far at least it's shaping up to be a promising experiment. Keep an eye out for our final review following the game's release. In the meantime, let us know what you think in the comments.

dressbarn and Dress for Success Partner to Assist Women Re-entering the Workforce
Each year thousands of women are unable to secure employment because they don't have access to appropriate ensembles to wear on job interviews. dressbarn is teaming up with the non-profit organization, Dress for Success, to gather 60,000 articles of clothing, as part of its S.O.S. - Send One Suit - Weekend donation drive, March 7-10.
This year's clothing drive marks the 11 th consecutive year dressbarn and Dress for Success have partnered to help women in need receive professional business attire. All 825 dressbarn stores across the country will serve as drop-off sites for new or gently used professional attire including suits, dress shirts, blazers, pants, dresses and shoes that will be used to benefit women seeking to transition into the workforce.
"We are thrilled to be a part of such a wonderfully philanthropic program," stated Veronica Valladares, dressbarn AVP of Marketing. "We are not only giving these women clothing donations, we are helping them gain economic stability, a positive outlook and most importantly, a new and improved sense of self."
More than 55,000 professional items of clothing were collected during last year's 'Send One Suit' donation drive. This year, dressbarn would like to collect 60,000 pieces of professional attire; a pace of 15,000 items each day.
All of the collected professional items will be given to the international non-profit organization, Dress for Success, which will then distribute the articles nationwide to women looking to gain a job or trying to re-enter the workforce. Dress for Success promotes the economic independence of disadvantaged women by providing professional attire, a network of support and the career development tools to help women thrive in work and in life.
"We are enormous advocates of women helping women and at the foundation, that is exactly what Send One Suit is: an S.O.S. for women to recognize the needs of others, rally their peers and, most importantly, respond-by donating their suits and separates to dressbarn," said Joi Gordon, CEO of Dress for Success Worldwide. "By working together, we can help disadvantaged women across the country take their next step toward financial freedom."

In our next life, we'd like to come back with a perfectly luminous complexion (not to mention a body like Britney Spears, circa 2000). Until then, we rely on this lightweight tinted moisturizer to give the illusion of perfect skin. The mineral-based formula, which comes in three hues—Natural, Tan, and luminzing Golden Sun—is a triple threat: It masks flaws, keeps skin hydrated, and guards against environmental damage. Now, if only we had arms like FLOTUS.
I pumped some of this product into my hand and it was completely watery and runny. It looked really oily too. I rinsed off what was in my hand and shook the container up thinking that might help. It didn't. The consistency was so gross that I refused to put it on my face. I will not be purchasing this product.1
I am Southeast Asian with pretty tanned skin and I've always had a hard time finding anything from tinted moisturizers to foundations for my skin, since most are too "pink." Got this sample in "Natural" and LOVED it! I have fairly sensitive, clear, slightly dry skin and so it gave me this dewy sheer coverage without breaking me out or anything like that. And the color was almost perfect, which was a surprising bonus. Only issue was with the sample bottle; the pump didn't work so I had to tap it out. Will definitely be buying when I finish it off.5
I am all about a good tinted moisturizer and this one is one of the best I've used! It is kind of a think consistency, but goes on great and kind of glittery. I was quite pleased with the color. I have combination skin and I put some loose powder over the top after applying the moisturizer and it worked really well for my skin type. Overall, I love this product!5

Arce meets Simphiwe Nongqawi in an IBF super flyweight title clash and Soto defends his WBC super featherweight crown against Aristides Perez (15-0-1, 8 KOs). Here's what they had to say…

Jorge Arce: "I have a thorn, and I'll get revenge for the defeat that my brother had against South African Simphiwe Nongqawi," said Arce. "Since he's retired from boxing and now I will retire Nongqawi. That loss touched me most deeply, and I will avenge my brother. He had many plans to be world champion, but now I am going to defeat this South African to take his dream away….I come well prepared to defend my IBF super flyweight belt."
Humberto Soto: "We are prepared to make people happy, we have prepared the best we can."
Tickets (200-2,000 pesos) are on sale in the various Samborns Malls in Cancun, the Drugstore Paris on Yaxchilan Avenue, at the box office of the Plaza de Toros and at the offices of the Quequi newspaper.

In the same week that UK music and entertainment giant HMV admitted defeat after 90 years in business, Whangarei's own iconic music shop Musicor announced it is closing after 46 years in the trade.
Musicor has been run by Whangarei identity Dave Ryan since it first opened downstairs in James St, opposite Tiffany's Cafe, in May 1967.
Mr Ryan said the decline in sales of CDs, coupled with the rise in people digitally downloading music over the internet, were partly behind the closure, which will happen in the next month or so.
While Musicor will close, Mr Ryan will stay involved in the music scene, booking live acts for the Onerahi Tavern and running an online hard-to-find music business. He also has a show on a local radio station.
In the 1970s he estimates there were up to 350 independent music stores in New Zealand, but that had dropped to about 12 in 2007 - with Musicor the oldest of them - and there were just a handful today.
This week, HMV suspended trading in its shares and called in administrators to salvage any viable parts of the business.
HMV is the last big retail chain selling recorded music in Britain and employs more than 4000 people working in 238 stores, which will remain open for the time being.
The company's management confirmed it had failed to gain agreements with lenders and suppliers to continue trading. It has appointed three partners of Deloitte to administer the business.
The name HMV stands for "His Master's Voice", from the company's trademark of a dog named Nipper staring intently at the bell of an early gramophone.
The first HMV music store was opened in London in 1921. In 1986, the company opened a store in Canada and later moved into the United States, Japan, Australia, Hong Kong and Singapore.
Read more on page B1 as Dave Ryan journeys back through Musicor's past.

A listener from St. Paul sent me this wondering how the Minnesota GOP (which paid for this flyer) could confuse the number of votes needed to end a filibuster (60) with the number of votes needed to override a veto (67).
Should we chalk this up to a last minute lack of proofreading or a poor understanding of the constitution? If the Democrats somehow end up with 67 Senate seats after the election that REALLY would be news!

I don't look at a girl because she has a nice body...like people say...what matters, is on the inside.
Under the shell of a girl who doesn't like her appearance, is a girl with a beautiful heart. Girls should not be objectified and made to feel bad about themselves in the slightest. Looks don't matter to me at all.

Heptares Brings GPCR Knowledge to European Consortium
Heptares Therapeutics will assist the new Kinetics for Drug Discovery (K4DD) Consortium in discovering new drugs by investigating the kinotypic properties of drug-receptor complexes.
Heptares will join the group of European academic and industry researchers in its five-year program to study drug target classes—namely protein kinases, proteases, and G protein-coupled receptors (GPCR)—by providing it with access to expertise and stabilized GPCRs as well as its broader GPCR discovery platform. That know-how includes the company's Biophysical Mapping™ technology, designed and developed to screen and study the binding kinetics of small molecules and antibody fragments within the stabilized GPCRs or "StaRs®".
In return, Heptares said, it will receive grant funding from the European Union that will enable it to develop its expertise and capabilities further. The Consortium is part of the EU's €2 billion (about $2.6 billion) Innovative Medicines Initiative, and is funded with over €20 million (about $26 million) from the EU and contributions from members of the European Federation of Pharmaceutical Industries and Associations.
Bayer HealthCare and Leiden University will coordinate the consortium, which aims to demonstrate the value of kinotypic information to early drug discovery and establish kinotype analysis as a routine part of lead compound optimization. The consortium will include 20 partners with expertise in structure elucidation, bioanalytical technologies, computational drug design, and pharmacology from top academic institutions, biotech companies, and pharmaceutical companies across Europe.
Heptares maintains a broad pipeline of drug candidates for disorders including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, schizophrenia, depression, chronic insomnia, addiction disorders, migraine, and diabetes. Pharmaceutical partners include AstraZeneca, MedImmune, Shire, and Takeda.

- 1 teaspoon canola oil
- 2 shallots, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 12 ounces white button mushrooms, cut into 1/4-inch-thick pieces

|I've always wanted to cosplay Jareth, the film has been my obsession since I was five when my Nan bought me the VHS tape!
I blame her for my Bowie/labyrinth addiction :)
I started with this fairly basic cosplay instead of throwing myself in at the deep end but I am defo going to have a go at creating the other cosplays from the film seeing as I haven't fallen out with this one yet! (Yes I sometimes fall out with my cosplays, DEAL!)
I have the crystal ball and everything and have made my own pendant from MDF all I need to finish is the cape or cloak with the bone detail on the back which I plan on making out of polymer clay.
Everything else is pretty much sorted (thank god for EBay). The most expensive thing was my wig!! It had to come all the way from Australia (of all places) so it's fair to say that's where most of the investment was but I guess that's the price I pay for bring picky... The other raw materials such as the faux leather and blue satin material were pretty cheap really which Is why I tend to make all of my cosplays from scratch because it more often than not turns out so much cheaper than buying parts!
I will be debuting this cosplay at MCM in Manchester at the end of the month, if anyone is going let me know!!! We can cause trouble together! I will of course be joined by my friend Emma who will be cosplay as Toby but sadly my Sarah can't make it so I'm going to have to woo someone else! Love to see you there guys!!!

All my life I've had these eyebags that are almost non-existent when I do not smile/squint. They are dark under my eyes, but that is not a big problem since I can just put on concealer. I was just wondering if these "smile-only" bags are caused by hollowness, fat or muscle. What procedures should I get? (Preferably non-invasive, unless necessary). * Photos included
Do I Need Surgery for This Type of Eyebags? (Photos)
Doctor Answers 3
Do I Need Surgery for This Type of Eyebags?
No, absolutely not. These are not eye bags, of the lower eyelid but rather the normal shape of the lower eyelid muscles themselves.
Web reference: http://www.drfpalmer.com
Lower Eyelid Bags when Smiling
Hi blueowl124,
Thank you for your question.
Lower eyelid bags are commonly due to fat, skin, and muscle to varying degrees in each person. Eyelid bags may also be due to medical conditions, such as thyroid or allergies. Eyelid bags on smiling suggests possible muscle as main component to the bag. Options may possibly include conservative use of Botox or facial fillers. These are nonsurgical cosmetic options to improve the eye area & rejuvenate the face.
However, only after a comprehensive evaluation can a specialist help determine appropriate options for you. Best of luck.
Dr. Chaboki
Web reference: http://www.potomacplasticsurgery.com/facial-plastic-surgery/eyelid-surgery.cfm
Lower Eyelid Bags vs. Muscle Hypertrophy
Judging from the position of your lower eyelid bulges (submitted photos) as well as your description of their appearance only during smiling, you are noticing your lower eyelid muscles (orbicularis oculi) in action. Their prominence, however, seems exaggerated by the presence of visible surface depressions (tear troughs) just beneath your bulges and in proximity to your nasofacial grooves (they're even present when not smiling).
Surgery would not provide a good solution to your problem.
If anything is to be done for you, injection of a conservative amount of "filler" into the area of your tear troughs might be a consideration. It would certainly help eliminate your visible "tear trough" when not smiling, as well as reduce the disparity between your muscle bulges and adjacent tear troughs during smiling.
Although your photos have been cropped (for sake of privacy), it appears that the front surface or your face is also somewhat flat and deficient of natural cheek fullness. This raises the consideration of "filler" to that area as well. In the end, if non-surgical artificial filler is successfully tried, a surgical fat transfer may be the best long term solution.

The newest addition to Downtown Disney can be found over at the Rainforest Cafe. An outdoor bar and cozy dining area, the Lava Lounge, is now open. We decided to swing by and check it out and share a few pics with you!
The entrance is themed like a cave entering the side of the volcano.
Lava glows inside the hallway.
The bar seating features two TVs mounted on more glowing lava.
The remainder of the narrow space features high top tables and a few standard height tables.
This fun menu has liquid "lava" inside.
For our beer, we ordered the Lava Red, which we were told is brewed especially for Lava Lounge (*ahem Safari Amber*). But this "red" wasn't very good. Shame on us for ordering without requesting a sample first. It got worse as it became warmer, and we left behind a couple of wounded soldiers.
We also decided to order a snack and went with the Polynesian Pot Stickers, described as seared pork pot stickers with refreshing and tangy soy-lime dipping sauce.
I'm typically not big on pot stickers as they always seem to have an overpowering ginger flavor for me, and taste antiseptic. These weren't that extreme, but were about what I anticipated. The dipping sauce had a little bit of kick to it thanks to the red pepper flakes. I wouldn't come here solely for the pot stickers, but if you are generally a fan of them, you'll probably like these.
The coolest addition to the refurb is the erupting volcano. Be sure to head over to our Facebook page to view the video! I look forward to returning at night to see it in action again.
I like the new addition of the Lava Lounge at Rainforest Cafe. It's nice to have some covered outdoor seating to enjoy a drink while visiting Downtown Disney. I'll certainly be back, I just know which beer to avoid now. 😉

Excellent place to stay. Staff were very accommodating as we turned up quite late at night. Though late the staff were still polite and extremely informative. The environment though tired is comfortable and homely. Other guests were friendly and jovial towards us. Well placed for Taupo concerts and local restaurants and entertainment. Fabulous deck which you can have a bbq on, eat your dinner and have some drinks as you watch the world go by below. Wont hesitate to stay at Finns again.

"I met a friend I hadn't seen for three years and she inquired about my wife, who she knew had health problems. She told to switch to NutriAid supplements and to our amazement in few weeks my wife was feeling much better and happier than earlier."
David Jones, London
"At work, after I started using NutriAid supplements, people started to tell me that I look heathier. And I didn't notice that, they asked me the reason why and the only thing that I could think of was that I had just started to take NutriAid supplements!"
Christie Cardale, Brighton
"I was introduced to NutriAid supplements by a friend of mine. NutriAid supplements had given my friend better health & energy and she thought it might help me. I was very skeptical at first, because my father is a physician and some doctors donot understand the benefits of nutritional supplements. I then agreed to try the NutriAid supplements for a short time and after two weeks I was clamoring for more. I attribute my on-going health and wellbeing to NutriAid supplements."
Amy Graat, Croydon
"As a middle-aged baby boomer I can honestly say that I have enjoyed good health taking NutriAid supplements and if for a few days I neglect my NutriAid supplements I can tell."

text: I know many people arent fans of 4 Wheel Parts, my personal experience with them has been very good after I learned a few tricks to dealing with them. 1. Get to know the store reps and manager, many of these guys are off-road fans and if you attend local parks or runs you'll see them there, make a point of introducing yourself to them and following up with a visit to their store soon after, goes a long way with great service and parts deals later after this simple bond has been forged. 2. When buying Not In Store Stock items request "drop shipment" to your home or buisness, with this option they can forgo shipping charges if you request it and are persistant about it. This goes hand in hand with practicing #1. 3. Watch the specials and read the fine print, 4Wheel Parts does a lot of install specials if you buy the parts from them. With that in mind 4Wheel Parts has some good deals this month. $199.00 Gear install per axle w/purchase of any set ring & pinion & a master install kit. G2 diff. Covers, Lucas oil & install starting at $189.99 depending on cover model chosen. And various other specials available.

With the recent outbreak of zombie attacks, I figure it's time we have another day at the clark county shooting park. Even if you don't own any guns you can still go and rent one of the .22s they have since they are super cheap. When would be a day that is good for everyone? I'm thinking on a friday afternoon or something? Maybe we can all hit big dogs (or some other place) afterwards for a beer!
So far we have these people going:

Contend Through Conviction
In Daniel 3, Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah would be challenged to stand, literally and alone, against the power of the Babylonian empire. And when the worship-crazy king ordered them to bow to his statue, they chose the furnace instead.
Their reply constitutes as fine a statement of devotion to God as any in history: "If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God we serve is able to save us from it, and he will rescue us from your hand, O king. But even if he does not, we want you to know, O king, that we will not serve your gods or worship the image of gold you have set up" (Dan. 3:17-18).
We don't get the feeling from the text that the three young men stepped aside to prepare their statement prior to being dragged before the king. For people with true conviction, certain decisions have already been made. No amount of discussion would change one simple fact: They would not bow. No matter what.
Have you similarly decided you will remain faithful, no matter the cost? Could any circumstance make you renounce your faith in Christ?
The question is posed not only to invite our firm resolve in Christ, but also to consider that until we resolve certain things, Satan will threaten us unmercifully.
You and I, our children and our children's children can resist compromise no matter how stunningly carnal this world becomes. If we resolve.
Do you want to be a Daniel? Do you want to resist the tidal wave of temptation to blend in? Have you predetermined your loyalty to Christ? Do you want to live a life of integrity?
We will do it on purpose or we will not do it at all. The enticing voice of the world calls us from billboard to magazine stand, from television to Internet. God's warning to Cain has never seemed more corporate: "'sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have you'" (Gen. 4:7).
While others compromised, Daniel and three friends remained obedient to the laws of God. Babylon did everything it could to indoctrinate their minds and steal their souls. But God granted the young men His own knowledge and understanding in every matter. In other words, whatever Babylon taught them, God interpreted to them.
They learned the language, literature and customs all right, but only so God could use them in the midst of it. They read the language of their culture with the lens of God. Thereby, they became culturally relevant without becoming spiritually irrelevant. Against all odds, they retained a God-centered worldview so that ultimately the world could view their God.
Tenacious obedience, Dear One! We will stand firm amid the current of our culture no other way. God will be glorified and blessing will come. Now or later. Here or there.
Enter the true King's service. A lost world needs to view your God.
Beth Moore is the author of Daniel: Lives of Integrity, Words of Prophecy (LifeWay), from which portions of this article were adapted.

Cultural Severance and the Environment

A Natural Origin of the Commons: Interactions of People, Animals and Invisible Biodiversity

The first people to occupy these shores used the landscape as a common resource and had an influence in the developing countryside. That there were open areas is now widely accepted and that some areas may always have remained permanently open. In many cases, these open areas must have been the easiest and first to be occupied by man to become the original 'waste' or common land. Man, grazing animals, fire and hurricanes have always been considered some of the factors in the creation and development of open areas. However, drawing on evidence from various sources perhaps we should review whether fire and wind had such a significant role as large-scale landscape drivers in wooded areas. Apart from a few examples, pests and diseases have until now been largely left out of the debate but how can we continue to ignore the history and effects of say the Black Death, rinderpest, myxomatosis, phytophthoras and other invisible organisms in natural processes that influence and change the landscape over large areas.

Benji Marshall is vowing to turn the Wests Tigers' NRL season around - but not through turning it on.
The electrifying playmaker candidly confessed to being off the boil while the Tigers slumped to five defeats from their past six outings to plummet from the top four to outside the top eight.
The upshot, as Marshall put it on Wednesday, is the pre-season premiership favourites' "season is on the line" against Parramatta at Campbelltown on Monday night.
"We've got a great team. We've really under-performed, I think, this year and we're more disappointed in ourselves than anyone," Marshall said.
"The best part is we can still make the semis and, if you get in there, you can still win the comp."
But if they do get there, Marshall says it won't be through the Tigers' trademark razzle dazzle.
"We've gone back to have a look at when we won seven in a row and that was through grinding out games and it's going to be that way this week," he said.
And the buck stops with him.
The 2010 Golden Boot winner as the world's premier player says he's looked in the mirror this week and watched videos of his own game - and hasn't liked what he's seen.
"It's not through lack of trying," he said. "If anything, it's trying too hard.
"I've been trying to win games for the team and just execution has been letting me down a little bit.
"So I've gone back to the drawing board this week, put all the fancy stuff away and just concentrated on controlling the game, keeping the errors down and not trying so hard.
"I'm probably trying to make too many big plays at the wrong time and, as a senior player, you can't be leading an example like that."
Marshall says lining up with eight different halves partners this season is "no excuse" and he and the Tigers know it's "do or die" against the revitalised Eels.

According to News.Scotsman.com, over 1000 skeletons have recently been located in the catacombs beneath Rome. According to the account:
ARCHAELOGISTS exploring one of Rome's oldest catacombs have discovered more than 1,000 skeletons dressed in elegant togas.
Experts are thrilled by the find - which dates from about the first century - as it is the first "mass burial" of its kind identified. Mystery surrounds why so many bodies were neatly piled together in the complex network of underground burial chambers, which stretch for miles under the city.
It was the custom then for Rome's upper classes to be burnt not buried, so it is thought the skeletons may be early Christians. Tests are being carried to establish whether they suffered violent death or were victims of an unknown epidemic or natural disaster.
It should be noted that these bodies are from the 1st Century, and if they are, in fact, Christian skeletons it would be further confirmation that Christianity had spread to Rome by that time as recorded in the Bible and several other places. I make this statement only because some people apparently don't understand how quickly Christianity spread. Take, for example, the very first comment to the article on the Scottsman.com website:
The skeletons were not Christian. Christianity did not spread to Rome until after the first century. As is true for many or most of the catacomb burials, the skeletons were very likely Jewish. Rome had an immense Jewish population before and after the destruction of Jewish independence in ancient Israel in the year 70.
Christianity didn't spread to Rome until after the First Century? I guess that Paul wrote his Epistle to the Romans to . . . uh, the people in Rome, New York? Oh yeah, and the Neroian persecutions were of . . . um . . . who? No, while they have yet to confirm the identities of these people, given what we know about the catacombs and the early Christian community in Rome I think that the archaeologists' first instinct is correct that they are Christians and the only real question is exactly when and how they died.

What It Means to Be a Public Official
Notaries are public officials who are screened and appointed by the 50 states, the District of Columbia and the U.S. territories to serve the public as trusted impartial witnesses in a variety of fraud-deterrent tasks.
What exactly does it mean for a Notary to be a public official?
First, it means that the Notary's powers are limited to the geographic boundaries of the appointing jurisdiction and to the term of office stipulated in the appointment or commission, which may vary from 2 to 10 years.
Second, it means that Notaries must keep the promise they made in their public oath to obey the law. In performing notarial acts, Notaries must always give precedence to the requirements of law over any other consideration — even the dictates or expectations of an employer, client, friend or family member. Law in all jurisdictions requires the document signer to appear in person before the Notary at the time of notarization. Thus, notarization may never be based on a telephone call or email, on the Notary's mere familiarity with a signature, or on the informal vouching of a third party — practices that are open invitations to fraud.
Third, it means that Notaries must be impartial and neither favor nor discriminate against any person or group for other than lawful reasons. Thus, a Notary must never refuse to serve, or to discriminate in the quality of service offered, because of an individual's race, nationality, religion, politics, sexual orientation or status as a non-customer.
Fourth, it means that as representatives of the state, Notaries must perform their official duties with an appropriate degree of respect and seriousness for the indispensable role they play in our legal system as a trusted, impartial and official third party.
