I'm not at my ideal weight. Does that mean my appearance cannot be improved at all? (I'd like to have abs Liposuction, but not a Tummy Tuck) Thanks.
Is Having the Ideal Weight Essential for Liposuction?
Doctor Answers 18
Ideal Weight For Liposuction
Liposuction is geared for patients who have "troubled" areas of fat or pockets of fat that they would like to have removed. It is not a weight loss procedure and you should not really be looking for weight reduction afterwards. The procedure is meant to contour the areas.
Having said that, the best results are obtained on patients that are close to or at the ideal weight.
Hope that helps.
Liposuction best when you're at weight you can maintain over time
Liposuction is best when you are at a weight you can maintain over time. That does not need to be your "ideal" body weight, but weight fluctuations after liposuction can change the results. This is one of the reasons few liposuction surgeons "guarantee" their results.
Most patients see some improvement from liposuction.
Ideal Weight for Liposuction
Most patients are near normal weight and desire permanent contour changes. Patients with average weight, localized fat collections, and healthy elastic skin are the best candidates for liposuction. Obesity, cellulite, or loose, sagging, and inelastic skin are several conditions which may tend towards less desirable results. In fact, these problems may be worsened by liposuction. For the best results, I recommend that you get as close to your ideal weight as possible. Then, seek a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon who can examine you and tell you the next step.

Liposuction Candidate?
Thank you for the question.
A good liposuction candidate is a patient who presents with diet and exercise resistant adipose tissue isolated to specific areas. These patients are not looking for a weight loss solution. On the other hand " ideal weight" can be somewhat arbitrary and is not an absolute criteria in determining candidates for the procedure.
Good skin elasticity is also an important attribute of the patient undergoing liposuction surgery. As we age or gain/lose weight we generally lose some skin elasticity. After the liposuction procedure we are depending on the skin elasticity to allow the skin envelope to "shrink" to fit the reduced contour resulting from the liposuction procedure.
It may be in your best interests to seek in person consultation with a well experienced board-certified plastic surgeon.
Best wishes.

Liposuction above ideal body weight
Dear Marta,
The ideal surgical result occurs when liposuction is used to address a localized fat deposit on a patient at their ideal body weight. The procedure can still give nice results on patients who are overweight, but I do not perform liposuction on patients who are obese. Patients who are obese (BMI > 30) are best suited by weight reduction, and can later consider appropriate body contouring once they reach a healthy weight. As others have mentioned, liposuction is not for weight loss, but rather for contouring.

Ideal weight for liposuction
You would most definitely get a better result if you were at your ideal weight, but this is not the reality for many people undergoing liposuction. You certainly may not get a ripped abdomen after liposuction, but it may help reduce the girth around the belly. Intraabdominal fat may make the muscle extend forward and you will not get a great result if this is the only cause of the weight gain. An examination by the surgeon can determine if this is a procedure for you or if you need a tummy tuck.

Liposuction on overweight patients.
Here's what you need to know. You can get a lot of improvement in a particular area with liposuction, even if you are overweight. You will still be overweight afterwards (which you understand), but you will like your shape better.
Weight and Liposuction
Liposuction obtains best results when your weight is ideal and the target is a defined fat pad. Liposuction is not a tool for weight loss. It does provide an adjunct for weight management as the improvements in circumference encourages better and healthy decisions. Recently, I have been very impressed with the potential of the new non-invasive low level laser treatments for bodyshaping as it plays an empowering role in personal shape transformation when combined with health coaching.
Liposuction but not a tummy tuck
Yes, you can have liposuction without the perfect end result. People do it every single day. In fact, most candidates that get liposuction aren't the ideal body weight. The farther off that you are though, probably the less content you'll be in the long term. At first you'll look great, the improvement could be excellent but if you don't change your habits (lifestyle, diet, exercise..) then you may feel that it all just "came back somewhere else". Remember that it's not a weight loss mechanism, it's a contouring tool. It works best when you're completely on board with a lifestyle change.

You are herecontent / It's Time for Labor to Join the Impeachment Movement
It's Time for Labor to Join the Impeachment Movement
By Bob Fertik, Democrats.com
Dick Cheney spoke to a business lobby group today and promised to veto the Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA), which has strong bipartisan backing in Congress. ThinkProgress has the video - transcript below.
Why should the labor movement take this pre-emptive attack lying down? Fighting powerful bosses is the only reason why unions exist.
Labor should fire back at Bush and Cheney by joining the movement to impeach them both - not for threatening a veto, but for all the impeachable offenses they have already committed.
If organized labor supported us, we could definitely get a few Representatives to introduce Articles of Impeachment, which would galvanize our national movement and transform the national political debate.
In a few short months, Bush and Cheney would be gone, and a moderate caretaker acceptable to both parties would move into the White House.
The American people overwhelmingly want the Bush-Cheney regime to be "over." All of the great labor leaders in history would love to lead this fight.
John Sweeney, do you want to make History? Andy Stern, do you?
America is also a country that takes very seriously the right of men and women to work and to organize under the law. The American labor movement has a proud history and has long reflected a basic principle of our democracy: fair elections, as decided by secret ballots. This principle will be put to a test in Congress this year. It's important for everyone in the debate to remember that secret ballots protect workers from intimidation and ensure the integrity of the process.
Beyond that, if workers do decide to form a union, they and their employers should be able to negotiate without having terms forced on them. Our Administration rejects any attempt to short-circuit the rights of workers. We will defend their right to vote yes or no by secret ballot and their right to fair bargaining. H.R. 800 violates these principles, and if it is sent to the President, he will veto the bill.

Yes. It is indeed time for Labor to join the Impeachment Movement. It is also time for Labor to join the 9-11 TRUTH Movement. Many of the first responders have questioned the officicial government "lie" about that fateful day. They were at Ground Zero. They SAW the CONTROLLED DEMOLITIONS. They have every right to ask questions; and demand answers. These people have been silenced. (This is indicitive that something is very wrong.) The heinous crime of 9-11-01 has been used to "justify" every other illegal, and immoral atrocity which this administration has perpetrated. The victims of 9-11 need the voices of Labor to seek the TRUTH about what really happened on that day. Do it in the name of Dan Wallace, son of a brave firefighter( who died at the World Trade Center on 9-11-01, because of the building's demolition with explosives). In his father's memory, Dan was a passionate spokesperson for 9-11 TRUTH. At age 23, he was recently found dead in his bed of "unknown causes". Before he died, this 9-11 firefighter's son vowed (in a speech) to: "not give up the quest for 9-11 TRUTH, under any circumstances". Lend your voices, Labor, to this most important cause, for BOTH Wallaces. And ...for America.

I bake buttermilk banana bread. It is always a hit when I bring it to potlucks.
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
I bake buttermilk banana bread. It is always a hit when I bring it to potlucks.
I love buttermilk pie. I never tell people what it is called until after they taste it. I have a recipe for prune cake that uses buttermilk. It is really moist and yummy. I never tell people what it is called either until they taste it. My DH took a prune cake hunting a couple of years ago. I told him not to tell them what it is called. He did, no one ate any until the last day when the other sweets were gone. They all loved it and argued over who go to take the leftovers home. They now request it and a buttermilk pie every year.
Buttermilk cookies 375 degrees 8-10 minutes
1 2/3 C. sugar
1 C. shortening
1 C. buttermilk
3 eggs
2 tsp baking powder
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla
4 C. flour
Mix with beater till well blended
Drop by teaspoon on lightly greased cookie sheet
Frost when cool with favorite cookie frosting or mix together
2 C powdered sugar, 1 tsp vanilla, 2 T butter (soft), 1-3 T milk. Beat well.
Sew many Quilts.......so little time!
Here is MY Grandmothers Buttermilk Pie!
By separating the egg yolks/egg whites it tends to make it a bit fluffier..... but many just toss the whole eggs in and they do fine... I like a fluffy pie so I separate them...
Thanks for all the recipes!! I'm gonna try a few....( this will be served to our Veterans..... I finially found another name for it ( I know how some ppl are they wont try it because it sounds terrible!!!!I don't even LIKE buttermilk.. only for baking!!( if u think buttermilk sounds bad I have a Vinegar pie that sounds worse.. but is YUMMY!!))
Being from the South ( Texas) we eat cornbread.. we served cornbread a few weeks ago with chili.. I was shocked at how many ppl here in Minnesota had never heard of cornbread!!! but their plates came back clean! So I figured I'd try a little " Magnolia pie" aka... buttermilk pie... LOL....
Buttermilk Pie
1 cup sugar
3 tablespoons flour
3 egg yolks
2 cups buttermilk
4 tablespoons melted butter
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 egg whites
1 - 10 inch pastry shell
1. Mix sugar and flour.
2. Separate eggs and set aside egg whites.
3. Beat egg yolks. Add buttermilk and melted butter. Stir well.
4. Mix together flour mixture and buttermilk mixture. Stir well.
5. In a separate bowl add salt to egg whites. Beat until stiff. Fold egg whites into buttermilk pie mixture.
6. Pour into pie shell.
7. Bake at 450° for 10 minutes.
8. Reduce heat and bake at 350° for 35 minutes.
9. Let cool for 20 minutes before serving.
* Everyone loved Grandma's Buttermilk pie!! She liked a scoop of vanilla ice cream with hers, but you can also top with cool whip.
The American Veterans Project
Thanks BluTeddi.. looks pretty much like custard pie to me. Just a switch of milk! And probably in days gone by, it was made with the "real" buttermilk and not the commercially made cultured product we get now. As for toppings, of course, I'd just go with the real whipped cream (not cool whip) and I love my custard pie made topped with fresh fruit or a stewed fruit. Or when making individual custards, I put some fruit or maple syrup in the bottom of the dish!
Love your innovative new name ... Magnolia!
And now you have me wanting to know about Vinegar Pie.
My closest would be .... Oatmeal Pie ... and no, I ever tell anyone that name either!
Sew many ideas ... just sew little time!!
I love to cook and have found this site has many good recipes, especially when I'm bored of the same old meals so I thought I'd share this link with you. http://www.mrfood.com/?task=search&s...ermilk+Recipes, I hope you find something useful here.
You cause some as a marinade it's a great tenderiser
Texas Sheet Cake--wonderful and always eaten!
Since I watched my grandfather drink it as child, I always just crumble cornbread in leftover cornbread and consider it a treat.

How to limit noise from your white-box systems
Give Your White Boxes The Silent Treatment
If you're like many systems builders, you have a problem: Your white-box PCs are commodities. They look and perform just like everybody else's in that price range. Sure, you might be using a Celeron processor instead of the AMD your competitor is using. And you are probably using some other minitower.

TicketCity's Randy Cohen Authors a Book About the Entrepreneurial Spirit By Petrina Crockford August 31, 2009 TicketNews As CEO of online ticket brokerage TicketCity, Randy Cohen refers to his title unconventionally: "Chief Energizing Officer," he says. "It says that on my business cards."
Now Cohen can refer to himself as published author, too. Ticket to the Limit: How Passion and Performance Can Transform Your Life and Your Business into an Amazing Adventure (Emerald Books) is Cohen's recently released book that details both the beginnings of his now multi-million dollar business and the personal philosophy that propelled him to success.
"People have opportunities to start their own entrepreneurial gig and make it happen," Cohen told TicketNews. "This books shows people you can do it if you put passion behind it."
Cohen's own success began with a simple idea: in 1987 he used his $1,200 in savings to buy 200 $6 tickets to an Arkansas vs. Texas basketball game. The game sold out, and Cohen was able to sell the tickets at a profit. Cohen expanded his idea in 1990 by launching TicketCity, and now the company serves over 100,000 clients in 70 countries, selling tickets to top events like the Super Bowl.
Cohen attributes his success to his life and business philosophy, which he says is to find your passion, follow it through, and live big. He describes "Ticket to the Limit" as a motivational book that offers behind-the-scenes looks at events that have shaped the ticket industry in the last twenty years, as well as intimate profiles of successful businesspeople who helped grow the TicketCity brand. Cohen acknowledges that, in the face of the possible Live Nation/Ticketmaster merger, the ticket industry is in a state of uncertainty. "Times are definitely changing," he said, "but there's always good in things that don't seem good. People have been trying to put us out of business for years. Brokers are so entrepreneurial and so resilient and they work so hard and are so passionate—they find a way to continue to succeed."
Broker or not, Cohen's book has entrepreneurial advice for everyone: "If you're passionate and love what you do, do it well and keep on doing it. If you're miserable, get the hell out. Go find something that you love."

Saving Tons of E-waste from Local Landfills
The explosion in the number and variety of electronics over the past decade has created an unexpected problem-- what to do with the stuff when its no longer useful. Tons of e-waste end up in landfills each years. But one company in Ocala is offering a greener solution.
So far this year, Sun Digital has gathered two tons of electronics to be recycled. They now have a goal of collecting 5 tons by the end of 2011.
"We are talking about junk and a lot of people are not excited about junk, but are happy to know that they had a place to go with these items and it wasn't going to end up in a landfill," Jim Bolin, Owner and President of Sun Digital told TV20.
On Wednesday, June 22nd, the company will be collecting old electronics to be recycled at the Concord Square parking lot, caddy corner from Ocala's Downtown Square from 7am. to 1pm.
According to the National Center for Electronics Recycling, 25 states have passed e-waste laws. Florida isn't one of them.
Marion County holds e-waste recycling days for residents a couple of times a year. Their next event will be on July 16th from 9 am - 2 pm at the Wrigley Sports Complex in Citra. On any other day, residents can dump their electronics straight into the ever-growing pile of waste. Commercial companies with e-waste must first provide the county proof of submitting their waste to a P-clip test which makes sure no harmful chemicals are released.
Funds from Sun Digital's e-waste recycling drives have been donated to charities, like United Way and Marion County Senior Services.
There is a $5 fee to recycle non-flat screen monitors due to the processing necessary to remove hazardous materials, such as lead, from within the tubes.

text: LONDON, April 30, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Based on its recent analysis of the autoimmune disease diagnostics market, Frost & Sullivan recognises Euro Diagnostica AB with the 2013 Europe Product Differentiation Excellence Award. "Euro Diagnostica offers a range of high-quality enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kits for autoimmune diagnostics," noted Frost & Sullivan Senior Research Analyst Srinivas Sashidhar. "Together with world class scientists Euro Diagnostica has been the first to develop and produce the gold standard testing for autoantibodies to citrullinated proteins/peptide (anti-CCP autoantibodies) for rheumatoid arthritis through its anti-CCP2 ELISA kit Immunoscan CCPlus ®." In addition, Euro Diagnostica has been the first to develop anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA) tests for diagnosing systemic vasculitis and related diseases. Wieslab ® Capture ANCA ELISA is based on the capture technique developed by Euro Diagnostica to better optimise antigen presentation. "Clinical evaluation of capture assays for determining PR3 ANCA shows that this format has a higher diagnostic sensitivity for detecting patients with potentially life threatening granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA), compared with the direct coating method or indirect immunofluorescence," remarked Sashidhar. Another unique product line is the Euro Diagnostica complement test system, Wieslab ® Complement ELISA that consists of functional assessments of all three pathways - classical, alternative and lectin - in a simple and accurate ELISA format. Assessment of the three pathways can be carried out with separate ELISA kits or in a combined kit. Euro Diagnostica, as a partner of Dynex, has harmonised all ELISA tests to the DSX and DS2 platform. Earlier this year, the company also added EULISA tests to its existing product line for autoimmune diagnostics. "All the diagnostic products developed by Euro Diagnostica are compatible and customised for clinical autoimmunology, microbiology, and immunochemistry laboratories," stated Sashidhar. "The Dynex instrument is an open and flexible diagnostic solution, which can be tailored for a range of autoimmune diseases, including localised and systemic diseases.

We all hate botnets and the worst part is that there is not enough we can do about it. In fact, they are spreading fast, more than ever! And this is quite evident from the Global Botnet Map, recently published by Trend Micro. The map shows active C&C (Command and Control) servers, highlighted by red dots, and bots (victim computers), highlighted by blue dots, to show where these botnets are located in the world.
Trend Micro uses its Global Threat Intelligence to gain insights and develop protection for its customers. As per the Global Botnet Map, 615 C& C servers were active in the last 14 days, while 488,251 active Botnet connections were found. Though this is a massive figure, the positive side is that by knowing exactly where command and control servers are located, Trend Micro can block them. This ensures that their customers are not served malware, or malware does not upload information stolen from their computers to the C&C servers.
Botnets are pretty pathetic in nature as they are pretty unstoppable, and grow abruptly. Not long ago, we saw an innovative fraud scheme from Europe that involved dual infections of PC and smartphones. Reports discovered a sophisticated malware and botnet system known as "Eurograbber" that has been used to steal over $47 million dollars from European victims to date.
"Botnets are the 'cloud-computing' of malware strategy," says HackANGLE editor Kyt Dotson. "Not too long ago, people started to understand distributed global computing power with projects such as Beowulf clusters and the SETI@Home projects; but being able to turn an unsuspecting person's machine into a general-purpose actor is a real benefit to bad guys. By placing arbitrary code on your machine it can become a zombie for a spam army, a sensor for an illicit network, or even a place to temporarily store illicit information.
"Businesses such as Microsoft have worked long and hard to hunt down, terminate, or neuter botnets. Groups like TrendMicro also lend their expertise to help map the spread of this type of malware and study post-mortem (or in situ) the new strategys that have emerged not just from infection types but command-and-control. We've even seen governments tapping into the idea of deploying or using botnets themselves to spy or control potential targets. We can expect botnets to continue to be a big deal in 2013."
Thanks to Trend Micro, which is always after these sucking botnets. If you use Skype, you would remember the odd message coming from some of your contacts that says, "lol is this your new profile pic?" The explosion of this Trojan through various gaming communities was covered by SiliconANGLE and Trend Micro's malware labs have identified the malware as a variant of DORKBOT. Trend Micro also noticed that it uses localization based on the geolocation of the system to choose the language of the message.

We really enjoyed our stay, even though the room was very small. It was crowded for two people.However, the apartment was clean, the price was good, and Mike was a great host - we can certainly recommend this accommodation to those who just need somewhere to sleep.
Room (clean idem for the bathroom) ok for one week holiday apart from the noise of the air conditionning machine of the neighbour. Practical kitchen for preparing the breakfast. Nice area close to Chinatown.
Henry Street lies in the middle of China Town. You get an authentic insight inton the life of the derscendants of the chinese emigrants.
China Town lies not far from the financial destrict, so you can reach it by walking easily. But it is also very easy to use the public traffic system from here.
You can reach every point of NYC from Henry Street within minutes. Our host was friendly and it was possible to reach him every time by telefon which helped us a lot by arriving from JFK airport to Henry Street. Prize was OK. If you do not more than sleeping and taking a shower next morning you are right here- NYC do not sleep so what about expensive luxury. In summary I give 4 of 5 points. I will come back...Peter and Chris
Mike our host met us on our arrival and provided us with the essentials for getting into the city.
His apartment was in the best location for talking a walk by the Hudson or hopping on the subway Uptown
if you want a bed just somewhere to crash after long days threading through the city - Mike's place is it :-)
This room is perfect for 2 people in a nice clean aprtment on the Lower East side. Mike was a nice host who helped out if you had any questions. Would recommend it to everyone.
Mike who lives There was really nice and friendly. The apartment has a good location!
We enjoyed our stay in this shared appartement: kind host, located in a calm safe neighbourhood (in/nearby chinatown), 1min walk from subway station. All in all a good price/quality ratio!
We've stayed at the Henry Street (Manhattan) apartment for 16 days. It's located in a safe neighborhood next to Chinatown. Large supermarket (open till 1 pm) is nearby as well as many (cheap) places to eat. The nearest metrostation is East broadway which is only a thirty seconds walk away.
We (a couple) stayed in the smallest room which is in fact really small. However, it's mainly just for sleeping and storing your stuff and for that it is enough. The bed is of great quality. We've had some problems with air circulation (there is none, because of the close next door building) but the installation of an airco solved this. Bathroom is small as well, but functions great. There's a fridge, tv, microwave-oven etc to be used. Overall great and clean apartment with a very friendly host. Expect the real thing, it's NY and a real NY apartment. Just as advertised. We will recommend this place, especially over all the expensive hotels and gross hostels.
Apartment was perfect. I love the lower East Side. I come again.
Appartement très bien situé dans Manhattan, Entre Little Italy et Chinatown. Du fait de sa localisation, le quartier est animé donc bruyant.
Nous avions pris la chambre pour 4 à deux, du coup espace et fenêtres. Apparemment, nos " roomies" qui avaient des chambres pour 2 étaient déçus car aucune fenêtre. Si vous passez du temps dans l'appartement, vous vous sentirez à l'étroit sinon l'appartement vous conviendra.
Le seul bémol pour nous a été la salle de bain et les toilettes partagés. Il faut savoir patienter même quand vous avez une urgence !

Trump's campaign manager, Kellyanne Conway appeared on ABC's The View this morning. One of the issues she was asked about was her boss's fat-shaming o...
Emily Liebert and I have been friends for 20 years, but I became a "fan" after reading her first novel You Knew Me When. Don't get me wrong, I always knew she was super talented, but I couldn't put that book down (and then tweeted her from a cross country flight from L.A. because I was too antsy to wait).
"What 12-year-old actress is so tired she can't go on? You're on Broadway. You're 12-years-old. Buck up!" Billy Eichner and Julie Klausner ("Diffi...
So what is the most important thing any woman of any age can do? Looking at the media, whether it's network or cable news, a political debate, feature films, day or nighttime talk shows or the commercials that bridge them, the answer is clear.
When Danny Pintauro sat down with Oprah Winfrey in September and disclosed his HIV status to the world, he sparked a conversation about stigma, HIV prevention and drug use to a massive TV audience. I recently got the chance to catch up with this brand new HIV activist.
You probably know someone just like Raven-Symoné. The beleaguered co-host of The View just can't keep her foot out of her mouth when it comes to matters of race. The former child star proudly proclaimed she wouldn't hire someone with a "Black" name like "Watermelondrea." It took her fellow panelists to issue a course correction, with Paula Faris calling out the discriminatory attitude. Even Joy Behar offered a friendly reminder that white people love naming their children after fruits, vegetables, and all kinds of weird things (Apple Martin, anyone?). Dare I say it, Raven, but that's so internalized racism.
Coulter's peculiar logic and word play provoked my own curiosity about her heritage. I decided to take a peek into her past, starting with her parents.
How dare you, Raven hyphen alternate spelling of "Simone?" Sitting there with a head full of colorful weave, the same sort of hair that was "ghetto," "tacky," "low-class" and "unacceptable" until it made it's way until the pages of mainstream fashion magazines?
But what was supposed to be a discussion titled "Road to the Election: A Campaign Preview" ultimately morphed into a conversation about the one -- and the certainly only -- Donald Trump.
It would have been one thing if he was suddenly putting himself forward as the poster-child for the dangers of oral sex, which aren't currently part of the health class curriculum. Instead, he did the opposite, minimizing this detail with the horrid summary statement of "it's that easy."
A few of my peers, who are not nurses themselves, wondered just what was said on The View that was so offensive. I told them that it wasn't even so much the words themselves as much as the general tone of the conversation.
Miss Colorado, I could recite endless ways your profession has helped me, and I applaud you for being the voice of your profession and for bringing it to a national platform. I hope that it is a major step in the right direction to remove the word "just" whenever anyone is speaking of being a nurse.
The women of The View going mean-girl mockapalooza on Miss Colorado Kelley Johnson--and seemingly every nurse on the planet--was not a fine moment for women.
A beautiful woman in a beauty pageant put on baggy clothes and humbly walked across the stage to talk proudly about her career, and her passion for caring for other human beings, and the only thing the women on The View could muster in response were insults grounded in ignorance.
Don't worry, you don't have to worry about this nurse banning your show. After all, I'm the nurse that works 13 hour shifts at two different jobs, the nurse that volunteers once a week teaching prenatal classes to underserved women, the nurse that is still in school (for my Doctorate in NURSING Practice) so I can do better for my patients and my nursing profession.

The Boston Phoenix has a fascinating story up about the unusually tech-centric hunt for Craigslist Killer. In the course of reporting, the paper's reporters came across something they, and the general public, had never seen before: The full results of a Facebook subpoena.
This is what Facebook sends to the police when they (or rather, a judge) asks nicely enough (view the entire file here):
A lot of paper
Three months of Facebook data, in this case, adds up to 71 printed pages
All your wall posts and shares
This is obvious, since these are more or less public anyway. Also, the subpoena was executed before Facebook Timeline and News Feed came out. A file compiled today would probably be a lot longer (and harder to read).
All your friends (and enemies)
The file contains a list of the friends you still have as well as the ones you've deleted. Facebook, like a lot of web services, has a full memory of all your actions — the friends, the unfriends, the likes, the shares. Facebook is a million little bells that you can't unring, at least as far as police investigations go.
All your photos
Public, private and even deleted.
Your entire Facebook browsing history
When you click on someone's profile, it's logged. Other Facebook users don't know you're looking at their profiles, but Facebook itself most assuredly does. Or rather can, if the police come asking.
This is far from the first subpoena Facebook has cooperated with, just the first we've been able to look at. Here's what the site says about its policies for cooperating with law enforcement:
We work with law enforcement where appropriate and to the extent required by law to ensure the safety of the people who use Facebook. We may disclose information pursuant to subpoenas, court orders, or other requests (including criminal and civil matters) if we have a good faith belief that the response is required by law. This may include respecting requests from jurisdictions outside of the United States where we have a good faith belief that the response is required by law under the local laws in that jurisdiction, apply to users from that jurisdiction, and are consistent with generally accepted international standards.

The NHL and NHLPA have agreed to involve U.S. federal mediators in their ongoing labor dispute. Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service Director George H. Cohen made the announcement on Monday, saying he has assigned Scot L. Beckenbaugh, John Sweeney and Guy Serota to serve as mediators.
Said Cohen:
"I have had separate, informal discussions with the key representatives of the National Hockey League and the National Hockey League Players' Association during the course of their negotiations for a successor collective bargaining agreement. At the invitation of the FMCS, and with the agreement of both parties, the ongoing negotiations will now be conducted under our auspices. I have assigned Deputy Director Scot L. Beckenbaugh, Director of Mediation Services John Sweeney, and Commissioner Guy Serota to serve as the mediators."
"Due to the extreme sensitivity of these negotiations and consistent with the FMCS's long-standing practice, the Agency will refrain from any public comment concerning the future schedule and/or the status of the negotiations until further notice."
[UPDATE: 5:51 p.m.] Serota has been removed from the case due to "issues involving an allegedly hacked Twitter account [1]." Serota's tweets can be found here [2].
The NHL and NHLPA have been unable to find common ground on a collective bargaining agreement, with players recently growing increasingly frustrated with the lack of progress made in negotiations. Because of the current lockout, the league has cancelled games through Dec. 14, as well as the Jan. 1 Winter Classic and the league's annual All-Star weekend.

I understand that Steve Pagliuca has some serious ground to make up if he's going to win the Democratic US Senate primary. I also understand that the Celtics' recent return to NBA championship status is a feather in Pagliuca's cap. Still, is bringing the NBA trophy on Pagliuca's "Jobs Express" bus really necessary? Or helpful? Or anything other then mega-dorky?
Yesterday I relayed some comments from Maria Cramer, the Globe reporter who chaired the trial board that recently expelled Dan Totten as head of the Boston Newspaper Guild, the paper's largest union. Cramer took vigorous issue with the notion that Totten's expulsion was payback for the way he handled negotiations with the New York Times Co.
If you followed today's coverage of last night's debate between the would-be Democratic successors to Ted Kennedy, you're well acquainted with the following theme: frontrunner Martha Coakley remained above the fray while Mike Capuano and Steve Pagliuca duked it out--and as a result, Coakley's going to waltz into the general election.
Like my former colleague Dan Kennedy, I've wondered whether Dan Totten's ouster as head of the Boston Newspaper Guild might be connected to Totten's hardline stance during acrimonious contract negotiations with the New York Times Co. earlier this year.
But according to Globe reporter Maria Cramer--who chaired the trial board that found Totten guilty of assorted charges yesterday, and subsequently expelled him from the union--that's absolutely, positively not the case.
Suppose you're still weighing who to vote for in next week's Democratic US Senate primary--and then you read this, courtesy of the Globe's Alex Beam:
Martha Coakley is a very good-looking woman,
and by far the handsomest candidate among the four Democrats running
for Ted Kennedy's seat.
Call it the babe factor.
Martha Coakley is a very good-looking woman,

Call it the babe factor.
Start with the Globe staffer's explanation, over at Esquire.com, of why Tigergate should come as no surprise. Then read Pierce's 1997 profile of Woods, which does indeed anticipate Woods' fall from grace:
"I believe that Tiger will break the gospel"--i.e., the myth of Woods as a heaven-sent superhuman--"before the gospel breaks him.
So says a recent, no-nonsense memo from outgoing publisher Steve Ainsley. Five percent less, to be precise--so they're still doing a bit better than their unionized colleagues:
Dear Colleagues, We are in the final stages of completing the 2010 budget and have carefully reviewed our revenue and expense estimates for the year ahead.
Yesterday at Mediaite, Stephanie Wei noted that Golf Digest--which sponsors Tiger Woods--was giving his car crash and/or domestic-violence incident a pretty wide berth, relying on wire stories and avoiding any commentary from its own writers.
Given this sympathetic (and vague) column by Bill Fields, Wei's description is already slightly dated.
Earlier this year, I wrote that Boston news outlets were in the right in noting that Aiden Quinn--the T driver responsible for that nasty crash at Government Center--used to be a woman. This upset a number of people, including a reader who commented that--if I wasn't transsexual myself--I had "absolutely no right or privelege to discuss issues of disclosure of trans status."
Interesting, this: the Herald's story on GOP gubernatorial candidate Charlie Baker's new running mate, State Sen. Richard Tisei, doesn't mention Tisei's sexuality once.
The Globe, however, takes a different tack. Last week, Frank Phillips cited Tisei's orientation in a piece on Baker's shortlist of possible running mates--albeit in casual terms, as my Phoenix colleague David Bernstein aptly noted
This week's Bay Windows makes the case that the death of the Washington Blade--part of the broader demise of GLBT publishing behemoth Window Media and Unite Media--is primarily about one particular corporate culture. Co-publishers Jeff Coakley and Sue O'Connell have a vested interest here, since their own publication (which, I should note, is printed by the Phoenix Media/Communications Group*) recently competed with Window/Unite's IN Newsweekly.
A few minutes ago, I raised some questions about Jeff Jacoby's column on Barack Obama's allegedly outsized ego. One of my queries: had Jacoby--who notes that Obama used the pronoun "I" 34 times in his speech announcing the federal takeover of GM--sought similar data on other presidents? And if so, why hadn't he included it?
I don't want to waste too much time on Globe columnist Jeff Jacoby's assault on Barack Obama's ego, because it's literally yesterday's news. I do, however, have a few questions after reading Jacoby's piece:
--Jacoby hits Obama for not going to Germany this past week to mark the 20th anniversary of the Berlin Wall's fall.

The Residual method of property appraisal (or Hypothetical Development Method) is used to help in assessing whether a property development project is financially viable or not. If a property has development value (it can also be known as 'latent value'), it means that its expected future value after works exceeds the expenditure. The first value that must be established is the Gross Development Value (GDV). This is the capital value that the completed property is expected to be worth on the open market when sold to a willing purchaser. The GDV is different to the forecast price, where the developer attempts to predict the value of the property in line with a falling or rising market. This is unsurprisingly quite inaccurate, but it's a common misjudgement among novice developers. The GDV should always be based upon values available at the time the appraisal is carried out. The GDV should be based upon the most efficient use of the property/plot. If a site is available that can accommodate 4 houses (for example) and only 2 are built, the completed value of the development is not the true GDV. To establish the GDV, the most accurate method is the comparative method of valuation. The residual appraisal is a very easy concept to understand, the equation is based upon a very logical approach. It is as follows:
The amount available for land purchase is the absolute maximum that the developer should consider paying. This is because there will be other considerations, such as repayments on the development mortgage, legal fees and Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT). Therefore, if the developer can purchase the property for less than his budgeted amount, he will certainly benefit.
Through transposition of the individual components within it, the residual method can be used for 3 main purposes:
1. Calculating the potential profit margin where the GDV, build costs and land/property cost is already known.
2. Finding a maximum value for build costs, where profit, GDV and land value is known.
3. Establishing a maximum price to be paid for the land/property when other values are known.
Build costs are probably one of the trickiest aspects to consider when carrying out a residual appraisal. The easiest way to do this is to apply a rate per sq ft or sq M and multiply it by the expected area of the completed property. So if a property of around 2,000 sq ft is to be developed or built, a rate of £100 per sq ft could be applied. This would produce a build cost of around £200,000. However, a more realistic rate is more likely to be closer to £80 per sq ft (by current standards). This will include fees and a contingency amount. If development work is substantial, then a 'build cost rate' can be applied as it will be so similar to a 'renovation cost rate'.
Finance costs can vary quite considerably, depending on amount borrowed, construction time and rate of interest. As discussed in many other posts, to provide all project funds in the form of equity (money that has not been borrowed) is not a particularly shrewd idea. Likewise, to borrow too much in the form of a loan is not a good idea either.
If the project takes 12 months from initial completion to sale of the property, then that's 12 months worth of loan repayments that must be included into the associated costs. For a mortgage of £200,000 that can be around £12,000 in total, depending upon the variable mentioned above.
Profit is also a vital aspect of development. Many novice developers calculate their projects the wrong way, they consider the property cost; add the expected build/renovation costs and the remainder once it has sold is profit. This is not the best way to approach your venture, a business needs profit to survive and you need it to invest in your next property project.An example of a residual appraisal is as follows:
This calculation shows that around £130,000 (to round the figure up) would be around the price you should be buying the undeveloped house at. This does NOT mean that you should start negotiation at this figure, it would be prudent be place in an initial offer comfortably below this price.

The Molloy College Women's Rugby Football Club made their long-awaited debut in the Fall of 2008. After a small group of women, led by Margaret Ziminski, tried for many years to get a club started. The fruits of their labor were finally recognized when the Class of 2012 arrived in Rockville Centre.
Under the direction of Scott Salvato and Brendan Droge, nearly 30 ladies were smashing tackle bags and hitting the club's newly-purchased scrum machine within days of their introduction to rugby.
The Ladies' Debut
Molloy College Women's Rugby made its debut on March 22, against a well-schooled Sacred Heart University. Though the Pioneers "took the Lions to class" that day, a new chapter in the history of Molloy College had been written. The Ladies in Maroon and White went winless in the spring of 2009, but it certainly wasn't from lack of heart or passion for the game. Fall 2009 marked the Ruggettes from RVC's first Met Union league season. It wouldn't be long before the ladies tasted their first league victory.
In the season's first two weekends, Molloy dismantled Bard and Drew by the scores of 73-0 and 39-0 respectively. Explosive offense and pulverizing defense instantly became the Lady Lions' trademarks. Incredibly, the team would go on to secure a playoff berth in their inaugural season! Despite losing to powerhouse Fairfield in the Met Union Semifinals, Molloy had proven itself as a force to be reckoned with

The San Diego Chargers have chosen former Arizona Cardinals head coach Ken Whisenhunt to serve as their next offensive coordinator, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
The announcement comes just days after the Bolts tabbed Mike McCoy replace the ousted Norv Turner after the team failed to make the playoffs for the third consecutive season in 2012. Whisenhunt led the Cardinals to two consecutive playoff appearances in 2008 and 2009, with an appearance in Super Bowl XLIII vs. the Pittsburgh Steelers coming in 2008.
From 2010-2012, however, Arizona failed to make the playoffs, with a low point coming in 2012 during a 5-11 season after the team started 4-0. Whisenhunt began his coaching career in the Baltimore Ravens' organization before spending years with the Cleveland Browns and New York Jets. In 2001, he was brought in by the Pittsburgh Steelers to coach the tight ends before working his way up to offensive coordinator. He was instrumental in the Steelers' win over the Seattle Seahawks in Super Bowl XL.
Whisenhunt was relieved of his duties following last season along with Cardinals general manager Rod Graves.
San Diego finished 20th in the NFL in total offense, scoring 21.9 points per game in 2012. They finished 7-9 and fired both turner and general manager A.J. Smith following the season.

The Squeeze technique is one of the oldest self-help techniques developed to help guys with premature ejaculation.
Created by the famous sex therapists William Masters and Virginia Johnson, some see it as an effective technique, but it's actually quite difficult to do correctly.
To be honest, I'm not a huge fan of the technique. Partly because it's an awkward one to do, but also because I just think there are better ways to last longer in bed.
Despite not being enthralled by the method, I'm still keen to describe it as best I can in case you're interested in trying it. So in this article you'll find step by step instructions, and if you have any questions feel free to drop them in the comments at the end.
Key points
1. Do you need a professional to show you how?
Some websites recommend that you ask a professional sex therapist to show you how to do the technique because it's so tricky. But let's face it, who's actually going to ask for that kind of help, especially in the modern era of the internet?
I think it's possible to understand the technique with some clear instructions, but I wanted to mention this point in case you've read it elsewhere.
2. You should practise it with your partner
It's been found that if you try the squeeze technique yourself, it's usually less effective. This is due to the awkward thumb and finger positioning needed to do it correctly.
You can try to change the positioning of your fingers and thumb to adapt the technique to do it solo, but it requires some double-jointed wrist and finger yoga. Personally, I find it pretty uncomfortable to do alone.
Part one – the technique with an erection
Assuming you're practicing the technique with your partner, ask them to start masturbating you. As soon as you get a full erection, she has to stop and put her fingers in the correct position to squeeze your penis as follows:
She should place her thumb on the frenulum, which is the string-like piece of skin connecting the head of the penis to the foreskin.
The first and second fingers are placed on the opposite side, i.e. the front side of the penis that you see when you look down at it.
They are placed either side of the coronal ridge, which is the ridge of the tip of the penis a few centimeters from the very top, but with the fingers still next to each other either side of the ridge.
Your partner squeezes your penis with her fingers in that position for about 4 seconds. She needs to squeeze quite hard, and probably won't naturally apply the right strength through fear of hurting you.
If that's the case, you may need to guide her by putting your hand over her fingers and showing her how hard she can squeeze without hurting you.
You may lose between 10 and 30 percent of your erection strength because of the squeeze, which is completely normal. Your partner should then wait 15-30 seconds after releasing the squeeze before starting to stimulate your penis again.
As soon as you get a full erection again, you can repeat the technique. This pattern can be repeated 4-5 times in the first session. When you've done this a few times, you can then move on to try it to achieve ejaculation control.
Part two – practicing ejaculation control
Now comes the time to really put the technique to the test. In this stage your partner should masturbate you to the point of nearing orgasm, and then use the squeeze technique as described above. The key is to make sure you do it at the right time, something which isn't easy to pinpoint.
If you find that you instantly feel like ejaculating when she starts again after each rest, you probably left it too close to the point of ejaculation. So in future try to stop and do the squeeze a little earlier.
It's a bit of an art-form getting the timing right, so you'll have to experiment a little and probably be prepared for a few timing mishaps at first. The idea is that the technique will buy you time each time you do it and rest, not that you end up painfully hovering around the point of ejaculation.
You can repeat this process either 4 or 5 times, or for a period of 15-20 minutes – whichever comes first. Remember to allow an enjoyable ejaculation and orgasm at the end of the session.
After practicing this technique over 3-4 different days, you can move on and try it with oral sex. Finally, after 3-4 days of practicing during oral sex you can attempt ejaculation control with full penetrative sex.
When having full sex, it's recommended that you use the squeeze technique 2-3 times first during foreplay before having sex and continuing to withdraw and use the technique.
How often should you practice it?
The squeeze technique takes dedication on both you and your partner's part. It may be then that you only practice the technique once or twice per week whilst continuing to have normal sex on other days.
It's important to still have a natural sexual relationship whilst practicing this and other techniques. But do continue to practice the technique every week over the coming months. With a little luck and perseverance you'll see results even in your normal sexual encounters with your partner.
This should hopefully serve as a motivation and reason to keep up with the somewhat clinical and torturous squeeze technique sessions.
The importance of trust
This technique involves trust and understanding between you and your partner. It's important that both of you are relaxed, calm and able to enjoy the sessions. Any stress, anxiety, embarrassment or fear will only serve to undermine what you're doing.
So enter into each session lovingly and enjoy each others company. At first you'll need to tell you partner when you're near ejaculation, but in time she should recognize the signs from your body and be able to tell when to put the squeeze technique into action.
You might also like
There's lots to learn about how your body and mind work during sex, and other exercises which can help you gain control. There are some excellent premature ejaculation books which give you exercises to really tackle the problem from every angle.
If that's not something you're keen on doing right now though, I do also recommend trying out techniques such as the start and stop method. In my experience, it's better than the squeeze technique.
Finally, you might find it helpful to read my story where I describe my efforts to stop premature ejaculation.

Rear interior bedroom- ideas?
October 31, 2010, 07:35:01 AM »
I have a 1990 Prevost Country Coach LeMirage 40 foot bus.
The back of my bus has a bead that is elevated and sits width wise (island style)... I have built in cabinets on the back wall.
We "never" use this back bedroom. We do not do more than one night if we camp. Basically we
are on the road 95% of the time vrs. parked. Trying to walk around this bed is a pain. It just
does not make sense for us.
As the RV and Bus market has all be dried up the value now is in us keeping the coach and
making it really fit our life style. I want to do most of this myself to help save $.
I want to utilize this back space more.
I was thinking about taking the bed and cabinets out and putting in a back lounge with either two
sofa's facing each other on each side with a tv on the back wall. Or set it up like a lounge in
an entertainer coach. I have two boys and this would make for a nice area for them to play
their videos and give mom and dad some space... ;-} The sofas would be the type that fold out
into a bed so we would not be loosing sleeping space. I can gain almost two feet of space once I
take out the back cabinets.
Anyways, I think I can proceed slow and dismantle this back section. My worry is once I have the bed out what I am going to be dealing with on the floor. Does the engine come up into the bus? Reason
I ask is that I know there is an access point from this area on the bus. Is this why the bed is elevated?
Am I able to do flooring over the back area and simple have a hinged accesss panel. Again, I do not
know how high up the engine is in relation to the floor? Does this make sense?
Anyone who knows or who has done a project like this I would appreciate input.
I know I will probably have some static on taking out a bed and bedroom. But, this would fit our life
style so much better and I will reatain anything I take out for future use if needed to be put back in.

Go online and look at entertainer coaches. Most of them have a rear lounge instead of a bedroom, might give you some ideas.

Your not going to gain and actual floor length space..In your 90 you have two step ups..the first you come to will be about 1 ft high and 18inches deep then step up again about2 ft and be 20 plus inches to rear of coach.cabinets are built around these step ups. must retain the access hatch in floor it is fastened down with bolts..practice is to build furniture over it that can be removed..simple frame for couch across back and down both sides make a great u shaped lounge area add dvd and game playing cabinet and they are set to go..make couches a little wider than normal and no need for fold out bed just sleep on couch. wood frame foam and fabric good to go! added storage under couches.

I have a 1981 Prevost and I am in the process of doing the exact same thing with the bedroom for the same exact reason. I plan on a television on the back wall between the two built in cabinets. I have not decided what to do on furniture/seating in that room, but, like you, we do not stay overnight often. Me and four buddies spent the weekend at Talladega and as I am in the process of pulling out the interior of the bus we all slept on air mattresses. This worked well for us (I know for many this may not work). We enjoyed having the "beds" out of the way during the day.

Tully your CC has some significant components in the base of that bed you will have to deal with. I would also plan on removing all exzisting wood cabinetry gently so you can reassemble stuff if you do decide to sell it.
The CC version of OTR A/C evap and blower is down there under the bed there are rope lights an outlet and possibly a toe kick heater as well. CC also did a very nice job of fit and finish on that base it will disassemble wonderfully.
I would suggest a couch at least 2/3 the way across the back and maybe around the corner too if you want that. That way you can leave all the exzisting components in and build over them.
You also want to be able to access the engine hatch in the floor back there too.
If you do not want that base of the bed for whatever reason I will take it and anything else you remove and do not want.

All I have done to date is take the matress off and pulled out a few doors to take some measurements.
If you want to come out and take a look you are more than welcome. In fact, what items I pull out
we could work something out for sure.
Never certain when you are around or flying around the country doing your "top notch" work.
If you want to send me an email we can set up a time for you to take a look. At present I was
thinking about keep the entire back wall of cabinetry. Taking out the bed and the two end tables.
I would place a small U shape lounge where the head of the bed and end tables were.
I was then going to simply re-carpet the back area in similar carpet color and style and be done with
it. Try not to do anymore than that.
I will post a picture of the sofa / dinnette I was thinking of using in this area. You remember my coach
well. Going into the bedroom the head of the bed is to the right with an end table on each side. The
sofa set up is 80 wide by 34 deep which would be just perfect with the bed and end tables out. Would
work nice with the kids.
I just saw your pictures. You are doing a "major" update. I like the back bedroom. The bed in the center is
always in the way and never used. I think this will be ideal for me.
Let me know if and when you have some time to drop by.
Will buy you a nice Steak dinner...

That is a major project there my friend.
Im looking to simply ditch the bed and end tables and put in the lounge sofa.
Some more pictures of the sofa...
Joe, I was not aware of all the mechanicals under the base of the bed. Can
they be re-routed?

We have a spare sofabed and dinette that we use once or twice a year for family weddings or day trips with the grandkids and their friends. Our '90 Prevost came with a side door behind where we put the bunks. When we want the rear bedroom to be a lounge we take out the bunks, take out the bed, install the sofa and dinette and reinstall the bunks. It takes a little over two hours to change over by myself using the side door. I don't know if I would be able to change it over by myself if I had to use the front door.

Good Luck,

A bill introduced into the Wisconsin Legislature in February by State Rep. Terese Berceau is a first-of-its-kind proposal to bar creationism or intelligent design from science classes.
Only science capable of being tested according to the scientific method could be taught as science in Berceau's groundbreaking bill, drafted with the help of 13 top researchers from the University of Wisconsin.
Prof. Alan Attie, who teaches biochemistry, said the bill puts Wisconsin on the map in opposing creationism.
As he put it to Judith Davidoff of The Capital Times: "We can be the un-Kansas."
Berceau's first-in-the nation proposal "is designed to promote good science education, and prevent the introduction of pseudo-science in the science classroom.
"It does not ban the discussion of intelligent design or any other ideology in schools in nonscientific contests," explains Berceau, who represents a Madison district. "It simply states that if something is presented as science, it must actually be science."
Science professors who attended a news conference announcing the bill warned that "science is under assault in our country." Such legislation, they said, is essential to ensure sound science education, and keep the nation on the cutting edge of technology.
The bill, LRB-2463, called "Pseudo-Science Prevention Act," would only allow material to be taught as science in public school science courses if it:
1. is testable as a scientific hypothesis
2. describes only natural processes
3. is consistent with any description or definition of science adopted by the National Academy of Sciences
Wisconsin was one of 13 states to receive a failing grade on its treatment of evolution, and one of 15 states to flunk in overall science education, according to the State of State Standards 2005, Thomas B. Fordham Institute (www.edexcellence.net).
(See Fordham study co-author Lawrence Lerner's article, "The State of State K-12 Science Standards and the Fate of U.S. Science Education," Freethought Today Jan/Feb 06).

Caitlin and Tom's Wedding
"Fabulous City and WWI Museum views!! Day to Night views were spectacular! Food was excellent (Herb Crusted chicken breast) with great presentation. Though difficult not having all guests on the same level it all worked out nicely with plenty of space to dance, eat & socialize. Enough of room for 110 guests, photobooth, gift table, candy bar, etc. Space should be renamed since it hasn't been Benton's Steakhouse for a couple of years-a hotel guest came up looking to get dinner at the Steakhouse! Guests were very impressed by this Crown Center venue."
