A heavily tattooed mother-of-two says she was left distraught after a cashier in Marks and Spencer asked why she had 'mutilated' and 'disfigured' herself.
Natasha Henson, whose neck and arms are covered in designs, got into a conversation with the shop assistant when she mentioned a shopper had 'tutted' at her.
But the 35-year-old did not get the sympathy she expected from the woman.
'She responded with something like, "I am not surprised she tutted, I think they are appalling. Why on earth would you want to mutilate and disfigure yourself like that? I don't want to see your tattoos, they are disgusting",' Mrs Henson said.
The shopper, whose husband is a tattoo artist, left the Bournemouth store in tears.
'It was absolutely horrible. It's my choice to have tattoos and I do not expect people to judge me for it,' she added.
Natasha later added on Metro's Facebook page: 'Hi it's me I would like to add that this happened in June and the m and s staff were wonderful and put it all right!!'
The cashier is understood to have quit her job. M&S sent a summer basket to Mrs Henson's son's school, which is raising money for a sensory garden.

Since travelling away from East America to West America, I have started to realize that I enjoy being out West more than East.

I even own my own plantation to grow some crops on now. Every once in a while there would ...

Winning a Lombardi Trophy: How the Ball Bounces
By: John Vampatella
The days of the uber-dominant NFL team are history. We are in an era of football where the rules are designed to create a competitive landscape across the entire league. In the days without a salary cap, a general manager could build a monster team and keep it together, so long as the owner was willing to spend the money to keep the talent together. Today, however, every team must operate within the same financial boundaries, and the margin for error has decreased considerably. For every star player you want on your team, you have to cut another one, because of the cost involved. Thus, roster construction becomes the ultimate game of Tetris, trying to make players and salaries fit in as best you can.
Because the league is more competitive, winning a championship has become even more difficult than ever. If the talent is spread out more across the league, it means that any particular team has less of a talent advantage than the great teams of the past. Moreover, any one-and-done tournament comes with inherent uncertainty, as the bounce of a ball can end a team's season.
Here is the bottom line: Winning a Lombardi Trophy is extremely difficult, even under the best of circumstances.
Consider first the proposition that there are few uber-dominant teams in the NFL. This is just one way of looking at things, but consider the rankings – offense and defense, points and yardage – of some of every Super Bowl winner. The salary cap era began in 1994, so let's look at the numbers from 1966-1993, from 1994-2011, and finally, during the "Patriots Era", from 2001-2011:
Pre-Salary Cap Era (1966-1993)
– Avg Offensive Rank: 4.5 pts, 5.9 yds, 5.2 avg
– Avg Defensive Rank: 4.0 pts, 4.5 yds, 4.3 avg
Salary Cap Era (1994-2011)
– Avg Offensive Rank: 7.1 pts, 9.7 yds, 8.4 avg
– Avg Defensive Rank: 7.2 pts, 9.6 yds, 8.4 avg
Patriots Era (2001-2011)
– Avg Offensive Rank: 9.5 pts, 12.8 yds, 11.2 avg
– Avg Defensive Rank: 9.2 pts, 11.9 yds, 10.5 avg
So the average Super Bowl-winning team in the pre-salary cap era was ranked, on the whole, about 4 places higher than the average Super Bowl-winning team in the salary cap era. This means that there are fewer uber-dominant teams in the salary cap era, and it also means that more teams that would be considered less than elite are winning the Super Bowl in the salary cap era. And it's even worse when you look at the "Patriots" Era from 2001-2011.
The top teams have been reduced to very good teams that have flaws. Some of the great teams in the past have literally had no flaws. Consider these teams:
– 72 Dolphins – Excellent running game, solid passing game, best defense in the league
– 74 and 78 Steelers – Hall of Famers all over the place, dominant defenses, great running games, and Bradshaw, Swann, and Stallworth in the passing game
– 85 Bears – Jim McMahon at his peak, one of the greatest RBs in the history of the sport, and maybe the best defense of all time
– 89 49ers – Montana, Rice, Taylor, a very good running game, and an underrated, but outstanding defense
The list goes on. Now let's look at some of the recent champions:
– 07 and 11 Giants – Decent teams, played great down the stretch, but each had major flaws
– 06 Colts and 09 Saints – Good offense, but pretty bad defenses
– 08 Steelers – Great defense, but they had a lower-third level offense
– 2000 Ravens and 02 Bucs – Great defenses, but average to below-average offenses
Again, the list goes on. If you take the composite offensive rankings (pts + yds), and the composite defensive rankings, and then divide them by two, you get the average composite team rankings. From 1966-1993, there was just one team that had an average composite team ranking above 9.0, and that was the 1980 Raiders, at 11.0.
But in just the last 11 seasons, 8 teams had an average composite team ranking of more than 9.0, and 7 of them had a ranking at 11.0 or higher. In other words, 7 of the 8 worst NFL champions (and 8 of the worst 9), as measured by average composite team ranking, have played in the past 11 seasons.
There are no more uber-dominant teams anymore.
The implications of this are crucial to understand. Specifically, it means that the margin of error is much, much smaller these days. Just look at the history of the Super Bowl itself.
Avg Margin of Victory
– Pre-salary cap era: 16.7 pts
– Salary cap era: 10.7 pts
– Patriots era: 8.2 pts
There have been 16 Super Bowls decided by 7 points or fewer, and 9 of them have taken place in the last 15 seasons, and 4 of the last 5. It is more fun as an NFL fan to see the league as it is, because there are always new teams emerging and the playoffs are featuring better games and even the Super Bowl matchups are turning out to be even, which makes for a far more exciting fan experience. It's how the league wants it, and they've succeeded.
So what separates the best teams nowadays? If there are no more uber-dominant teams, and if the talent level is spread thin throughout the entire league, and if the margin of error is smaller than ever, what does it take to win a championship? Well, if recent history is any guide, it isn't merely talent or coaching that wins games, though those things matter. After all, better talent and better coaching over the course of a season is still going to put you in a better position to win than other teams. But more and more, it's the bounce of a football that can determine the course of NFL history.
Let's first look at the Patriots themselves. Here are some of the fortunate breaks the Pats received during their three Super Bowl-winning seasons:
– Beat Oakland 16-13. Famous snow-bowl game. Two huge bounces of the ball saved the Patriots in this one: the Tuck Rule and Troy Brown's fumbled punt that the Patriots managed to recover. If they don't recover that, they almost certainly lose the game.
– Beat Pittsburgh 24-17. The Pats got a TD on a blocked field goal. The block was skill, but the ball could have bounced to a Steeler. Instead, the Pats scooped it up for a huge score.
– Beat the Rams 20-17. The Pats caused a huge fumble by Ricky Proehl, and, while causing fumbles is a skill, where the ball bounces from there is not.
– Beat Carolina 32-29. After the Panthers tied things up late in the game, John Kasay kicks the ball out of bounds, giving Brady the ball at the Patriot 40, needing just a field goal to win. It changed the game situation dramatically.
– Beat Philadelphia 24-21. Who can forget the colossal gaffe of the Eagles to not go in the hurry-up late in that game? I know that's not exactly a "bounce of the ball", but it is still a fortunate break for NE that the Pats had nothing to do with.
And now let's look at some of the unfortunate breaks the Pats received in some of their non-Super Bowl-winning seasons:
– Lost to Denver, 27-13. Who can forget the Brady pick to Champ Bailey, which was a bad play by Brady? But the bad break came after Ben Watson hustled down the field and actually knocked the ball out of Bailey's hands just before he crossed the goal line. It should have been Patriots' ball at their 20 and it would have saved a touchdown. Huge play in the game and the Pats got a terrible break on the bad call.
– Lost to Indianapolis 38-34. Not really a bad break per se, but half the Patriots' players had the flu for this game, and it showed late in the second half as they wore down.
– Lost to the Giants 17-14. Who can forget the Tyree helmet catch? It turns out that the loss of Stephen Neal to injury was huge as well.
– Lost to Baltimore, 33-14. Losing Wes Welker the week before this game proved to be critical.
– Lost to the Jets, 28-21. The Pats didn't really have a bad break in this game, but made some uncharacteristic mistakes.
– Lost to the Giants, 21-17. The bad breaks here came in the form of injuries (Rob Gronkowski, Andre Carter, etc.) and fumbles. The Giants had two fumbles and both bounced right back to Giants' players. The Patriots also recovered a third Giant fumble but it was called back due to a penalty.
In order to win the championship, things have to go right for you. Just look at fumbles during the Patriots' five Super Bowl seasons since 2001:
– NE had 3 fumbles, recovered all 3 (0 in the SB, 0 recoveries)
– NE forced 4 fumbles, recovered 2 (2 in the SB, 1 recovery)
– TOTAL: 7 fumbles, 5 Patriot recoveries
– NE had 2 fumbles, recovered 0 (0 in the SB, 0 recoveries)
– NE forced 3 fumbles, recovered 2 (1 in the SB, 1 recovery)
– TOTAL: 5 fumbles, 2 Patriot recoveries
– NE had 2 fumbles, recovered 1 (1 in the SB, 1 recovery)
– NE forced 7 fumbles, recovered 4 (2 in the SB, 1 recovery)
– TOTAL: 9 fumbles, 5 Patriot recoveries
– NE had 2 fumbles, recovered 1 (1 in the SB, 0 recoveries)
– NE forced 5 fumbles, recovered 2 (2 in the SB, 0 recoveries)
– TOTAL: 7 fumbles, 2 Patriot recoveries
– NE had 3 fumbles, recovered 1 (0 in the SB, 0 recoveries)
– NE forced 5 fumbles, recovered 1 (2 in the SB, 0 recoveries)
– TOTAL: 8 fumbles, 2 Patriot recoveries
We can see a strong correlation here between the lucky or unlucky bounce of a ball and the Patriots winning a championship. Obviously lots of other things go into a Super Bowl title besides fumbles. But these are an interesting indicator of just how razor-thin the margin is in the NFL today. During their three Super Bowl-winning seasons, they recovered 12 of 21 total fumbles during the playoffs (57.1%). During their three Super Bowl wins, they recovered 3 of 6 fumbles, but during their two Super Bowl losses, they did not recover a single fumble of the five total that were put on the ground (4 by the Giants).
This past Sunday, there was one fumble, by Ridley on that vicious hit by Pollard (who else?), and naturally the ball ended up in the hands of a Raven. On the Brady interception, the ball was batted at the line of scrimmage, and when that happens, it could be deflected anywhere. Of course it was deflected right to Ellerbe standing 10 yards away.
Football is a game of precision, power, speed, emotion, strategy, and skill. Over the course of time a team with better players and coaching will win more than teams with lesser players and coaching. In any one-and-done tournament, unpredictable events can alter the outcome, and even more so if the relative differences between the teams is small. In today's parity-driven league, where there are no more uber-dominant teams, the margin for error is so small that these unpredictable events play an even bigger role than normal. And nothing in football is more unpredictable than the bounce of an oblong leather object.
In order to win a championship, a team needs to be good, be playing its best football, and get the breaks. Patriot fans have seen their share of breaks over the years, but since 2005, the ball hasn't tended to bounce their way in the playoffs, and the result is an eight-year stretch without a Lombardi Trophy.

If you cant get the elite player for a particular position then get the smartest most versatile player you can.. a theme I believe the patriots have defined and it continues to give them the advantage in a league where little mistakes cost the game….

A DECORATED former soldier involved in a violent home invasion near Gawler has been given a "merciful" sentence because his army service left him with post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Michael Quintrell, 32, of Port Augusta was today jailed for his role in the home invasion at Kudla, in which he and two other men stormed the home of a drug dealer seeking money and drugs.
Quintrell, who held senior roles in the Australian Army including section commander, was awarded medals for his tours of duty overseas, which included combat roles in Iraq and Afghanistan and a peacekeeping role in East Timor.
On his return, he did not seek help for the PTSD which caused nightmares and anxiousness and instead began using amphetamines to stay awake at work.
In sentencing today, Judge David Lovell said Quintrell was of "considerable character" for his army service but that was "obviously not an excuse to commit crimes".
"You voluntarily put your life at risk for the benefit of the citizens of Australia," Judge Lovell said.
"Such a selfless act ... shows that you value something more than you value your own life.
"This is a case where a merciful non-parole period can and should be fixed."
Judge Lovell said that while there were support services in place for returned soldiers, Quintrell had "slipped through the cracks" on his return from service.
"Your army service caused the post traumatic stress disorder which in turn directly led you to spiralling into drug abuse," he said.
"Your drug addiction related to your war service."
He said psychological services Quintrell needed were not available in prison while Quintrell's partner was very sick and their young child was being cared for by someone else.
Quintrell had previously pleaded guilty to aggravated serious criminal trespass and attempted aggravated robbery over the home invasion, where he and two other masked men went to a Kudla house planning to steal cannabis plants.
The victim confronted the men and shots were fired from two separate guns. The homeowner slashed Quintrell's arm and stabbed a co-accused.
Quintrell, knowing it would result in his arrest, sought medical help for his accomplice.
Today, Judge Lovell jailed Quintrell for seven years and eight months with a non-parole period of 24 months.
Quintrell will be eligible for release on parole in April next year.
Previously, the court heard former soldiers were being prevented by the state's correctional services system from seeing counsellors in prison.
Outside court today, chairman of the Ex-military Rehabilitation Centre and former serviceman Ian Campbell, said more money should be spent on the welfare of Australian diggers on their return home.
"Perhaps if we spent a little bit more money on our diggers when they come home, perhaps a little less on commemoration," he said.
He said "of course" it was fair Quintrell's service had been looked upon favourably when Judge Lovell was imposing sentence.

Eight Million Ways to Die
Get the scissors and run down the hall,
Catch your feet and take a fall.
Dash across the traffic lanes;
a speeding truck may spill your brains.
Swallow food before you chew,
clog your windpipe, and turn dark blue.
Take a cruise, fall off the ship.
Get mauled by a bear on a camping trip.
Be chewed up by some large machine,
Break your leg and catch gangrene.
Take a swim, drown in the lake,
walk in woods, get bit by snakes.
Smoke til cancer fills your lungs,
Be careless while cleaning your guns,
Speed through traffic, cause a wreck,
dive in a pool and snap your neck,
Slip in the shower and smash your head,
These are just a few ways to wind up dead.


text: NEW YORK, April 23, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Bankrate.com's (NYSE: RATE) monthly Financial Security Index hit a new high of 99.9 in April 2012, surpassing the previous high-water mark of 98.5 that was last recorded in May 2011 (the polls began in Dec. 2010). Americans' attitudes regarding their net worth and overall financial situation also reached new highs this month. Sentiment regarding savings improved for a fifth consecutive month, and Americans' comfort level with debt is at its highest point since June 2011. (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20040122/FLTHLOGO) Despite these positive developments, Americans are still wary of investing in stocks. The poll found that 76% of Americans are not more inclined to invest in the stock market despite near record low savings rates, and merely 18% of Americans are more inclined to invest in stocks today. Another soft spot is job security: 22% of Americans reported less job security than one year ago versus 20% that reported better job security. "Overall, there are several positives that can be taken from this month's report," said Greg McBride, CFA, Bankrate.com's senior financial analyst. "Americans are feeling better about the money they have in the bank and in their investment portfolios, and they're also feeling better about what they owe. However, job security is still a pain point, and there are plenty of reasons to worry that we might be headed into a third straight weak summer for the economy. The trouble spots include jobs, high gas prices, the ongoing European debt crisis and more." A reading of 100 is considered the Financial Security Index's baseline; any reading above 100 indicates improving financial security compared to one year ago, while any reading below 100 indicates decreasing financial security compared to last year.

These are crazy addicting and quite tasty! They're not exactly healthy, per se, but they aren't filled with chemicals that you'd find in similar products. They're a bit on the expensive end for the amount that you get, but they're delicious otherwise!
I received a coupon for a free product from Influenster for this product. They are delicious. My grandsons and I both love them.
My kids LOVE these! They don't even realize how good they are for them. It's a major win!!

Ripoff Report
Rite-Aid Pharmacy315 Main street Lewiston, maine lewiston, Maine United States of America
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
Around 10 am, I called Rite Aid on Main street in lewiston to refill a prescription. They told me it would be ready in 2 hours.
I went around 3:30 pm to pick up my pills, and they still weren't done. I tried to tell Brad, the pharmacist, that they told me they'd be ready in 2 hours and i had a cab waiting for me. Before i could finish what i said, he VERY RUDELY cut me off and said "You are just gonna have to wait".
It took a good 15 minutes to get it filled, and a $3.50 taxi ride ended up costing me $11. Worse than that, if I didn't have the eleven dollars, i would've had to walk three miles in the snow with crocks on my feet.
I will NEVER go to rite aid again, not even to buy a piece of bubble gum.

After a mix-up with the tripadvisor email system we finally began contact through private email addresses, I would recommend you do this from the start.
And now, the review; it was utterly amazing and beautiful there. The plunge pool was quite sufficient and actually bigger than it looks. We used it a lot since there was a very rare plague of jellyfish in the sea, it was so unusual it was on the news, but that was just a bit of bad luck, I doubt it will happen again for years.
The beach and road along it was virtually deserted except for the occasional herd of cows (felt like I was back in NZ! :) )
We really felt totally alone here which is exactly what we wanted! But then the weekend came and 2 houses away was a crowd of very noisy teens, reasonably well behaved but noisy. Apart from that it was total silence except for the crashing waves of the sea :)
At first I felt a little uncomfortable being so remote but I was to find out that the 2 dogs that belong to the house are also your security guards at night. In the day they are friendly and relaxed and follow you down to the beach to play, they are really lovely Chiang-Noi (little elephant) and Kitty. From day one they accepted us as owners of the house and would act
like our bodyguards from any strangers, i was quite amazed by this and really loved playing with them on the beach.
The layout of the 2 houses was not exactly as I expected, the front house you have to walk through one bedroom to get to the other so it would have to be close family or friends to be living here. Me and my girlfriend chose the back house for sleeping and let my parents have the front house so it was not a problem :)
You definitely need a vehicle because there are no shops in walking distance but the shops and restaurants in the next bay are amazing! :)
Hint: Work out how to take the back roads to save time and about one million judder bars along the seaview road (if you're in a rush to go somewhere...... which you shouldn't be because you're on holiday! lol)
Want to write more but this site doesn't allow it :/
My wife and I stayed at the beach house for 3 weeks in July. Sue, the property owner was very helpful in getting us transportation to the beach house from the Hua Hin railway station. The location of the house was perfect, literally on the beach with a great view of the sea from the living area. The long stretch of beach was basically yours. There were occasionally a few people on the beach on weekends.
Definitely get a scooter or car to get around since the house is at the end of a road along the beach. We were away from the hustle and bustle of tourists yet still convenient to local groceries and restaurants with the help of a scooter. The maid service was great, the grounds are very well kept and the owner was very helpful with any questions we had. Internet and satellite TV was great and reliable.
Sue coordinated a day for us to go to the local school to teach English. It was a delightful and very humbling experience for us. We wish we would have made reservations for a longer stay had we known how wonderful our time would be at the beach house.
If you are looking for a quiet family getaway, we highly recommend this beachfront house. The house is literally on the beach, 5km stretch of beach is pretty much yours for morning and evening strolls/runs. The house has basic amenities - a/c, fans, microwaves, oven, tv. The house owner, Sue, is super helpful and accommodative.
Renting a car is recommended if you are planning to stay at Beachfront house. You need it to get around to supermarket, nearby restaurants.
I was a little bit exiting before I arrived the house.Is it what I was waiting for?
But no problem it was exactly what I was dreaming.Situation and lay out of the house was perfect. From second bed room you can go out without disturb others
if they still was sleeping.The kitchen equipment was perfect and we had all we needed. Outsude the house there is a lovely own swimming pool. And what a view
to the see! Only some ten meters to walk to your own private beach. But so far your eyes can see the beach is almoust only yours.The place is very peaceful and if you have children it is no traffic between house and see. Toyd,the housekeeper was very kind and helpful.Thanks. If you look after very peaceful,clean and beautiful paradise without noisy tourist around you,this is your place. I have visited Thailand from 1977 about 50 times and seen many places. And what can be the best recommendation, I have booked this splendid house again 31.10.2012.
Ps.Only two small thing Sue.In the future if it is possiple to get safetybox and aircondition to livingroom,too.

We really enjoyed the 2,5 weeks we stayed in this beautiful beachfront house from February to early March.
We were two couples and two little children. Were looking for a quiet place, away form tourist crowds but not too far away from Bangkok and found it here. Loved the beach that we had most of the time just for ourselves. Enjoyed the beach life, swimming, walking, picking up beautiful shells. We cooked our own breakfasts and the kitchen was well equiped for that. Nice start for a day to have breakfast on your own terrace with a beautiful few to the sea. The pool at the terrace was nice place to cool down in the afternoons and late evenings, great for children to learn how to swim as well. It's a lovely house for a family, but as said from the second bedroom you have to walk trough the other one to get to the living area, or go round the outside. It's good to be aware of that if you are 2 couples. Both Sue and Toyd, the houskeeper took very good care of us and were very helpful with everything including the scooter and car rentals. We had 2 scooters rented for the whole time we staid. (You need one to go anywhere : ) We really enjoyed driving around. The beach road is very quiet and great for driving a scooter even if you are just learning. There are some small stores close by and many nice little places to eat by the beach road. We went to the Sam Roi Yod national park also with the scooters but rented a car for 2 days to go to Hua Hin. Arranged transportation from and to the airport trough Sue and were happy we did. Would love to come back soon.
After we finish 12 days at this house I suprise about description about place and house. This house is not the best location, I mean almost the opposite. Very bad road outside, not asphalt same picture on this site. And this house has not a luxury standard, but a ordinary standard. Much cheap hotels have much bether standard in Thailand(I been 6 times in Thailand). The inventary looks like old and much use, same house. Good about house is that is big. But thats you have to go trought a bedrom to go to next bedrom is not so god.
The outside is ok at daytime, you can svimming when water is high, many shell. But the beach is not the best to swimming. Nighttime is is very dark outside, because its almost no one living around. For children this house is boring to stay.
Because this house is so fare away a car is necessary. The house owner fixing car and scooter for renting. But we recomanded that you renting nearby where is more cheap. If you driving 10-15 minutes away from house you find out thats area is very nice with many resturants and beach. I recomanded "Very good restaurants" and areas around with many hotels, and closer to Hua Hin and Pran Buri.
The maid do a good work. We ask about she can cooking same she cooking to friend to me at the first days. But we not ask anymore, because we thinking she not want.
That we had to pay extra for everything(but we not have to) but feel like penalty for us. Extra for person living there. But summary we have 6 nights/person extra we paid for but not use. They say that we have to pay extra because we have one extra person few nights. They have a mattress 20 cm from pool and we have to paid two new mattress because the water destroying them.
The conclusion is that we had a bad feeling about that we paid to much about what we get back about staying in this house.
But if you like to relaxing and wants to be, alone this place is good. But this place is not a luxury one.

The last week has been busy visiting Chicago, New York and Seattle. On my limited down time I've managed some art on the go, mainly greyscale sketches and a couple of ipad pictures. I've tweeted most out, but here they are in case you missed them:
March 4th, 2013
A couple more pics while on the road. The first is best explained with the tweet:
The next pic was all done on ipad. I still hate drawing on the ipad. Its super tedious and the capacitive touch even with a stylus is not inaccurate.

Long gone are the days when cosmetic surgery was considered the bastion of women. With growing emphasis of good looks as important part of overall personality, more and more men are turning towards cosmetic surgery not only to improve their looks but also to combat the signs of aging. Dr. Yoel Shahar, a renowned Park Avenue plastic surgeon who witnessed a dramatic increase in the number of men seeking plastic surgery to lessen the signs of aging commends this trend saying "There is a healthy attitude about cosmetic surgery. I am very happy about the change in men's' attitudes. In my own practice and among my colleagues, the increase in the number of men seeking cosmetic surgery is astounding."
The most popular cosmetic procedure among men happens to be Rhinoplasty as men account for almost ¼ of all nose jobs performed in America. Other cosmetic surgeries that men tend to opt for are facelifts, blepharoplasty, hair transplantation, and liposuction. Breast reduction surgery is another cosmetic procedure for men which have quite a few takers. While most women who go for this procedure usually have health issues like back pain due to excessive strain, men opt for gynecomastia (breast reduction) due to purely aesthetic reasons.
During his long career ranging over two decades, veteran plastic surgeon Dr. Yoel Shahar has seen the air of secrecy lifting from cosmetic surgery. Rather than being embarrassed about these procedures, people don't mind boasting about their results. He is quite confident that the number of men going for these cosmetic procedures is likely to double in coming few years.
Another Cosmetic procedure developed specifically for men is Abs sculpting. It includes creating that "six-pack" look, and pectoral enhancements. Otoplasty (cosmetic ear surgery) has been answer to the prayers of those men who feel embarrassed by their ears that stick out too far from the head. Otoplasty can be utilized to "pins back" the ears or correct ear size in case they are disproportionate to his other features.
Dr. Yoel Shahar is Board Certified Surgeon, who is licensed in New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Certified by the American Board of Surgery and Cosmetic Surgery, Yoel Shahar is an Associate Fellow of the American Medical Association, American College of Surgeons Fellow, American College of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons' Fellow, International College of Surgeon's Fellow and a Member of the New Jersey Society of Cosmetic Surgery.

The price of vegetables goes up and everyone decides that growing their own vegetables will save them money. Yes growing your own vegetables will save you money. But, is it worth the time and effort?
The Balance of Trade
If we follow the basic principles of supply and demand isn't it more efficient for everyone to specialize in the things they're good at rather than having everything grow their own vegetables, create their own clothes, build their own cars? To one benefit, if more people grow their own stuff, the price of vegetables will decrease as we have an increased supply and less demand… It's basic economics 101.
The Money Saved Growing Your Own Vegetables
NBC24.com reported: "If you buy $2 worth of corn seeds, you'll get about 50 ears. That would cost you about $25 dollars at the grocery store. One tomato plant that costs $2.50 cents will give you about 30 dollars worth of tomatoes." Of course NBC24 isn't considering the cost of the time and energy needed to grow your own vegetables. Should we hire our own personal backyard farmers too?
Ok, so actually growing vegetables can be fun and most people won't find it a job. Plus, growing your own stuff is most likely much healthier than that modified stuff you'll find in the store.
So I don't have a yard, can I grow my own vegetables in a pot?
Actually you can, as RockyMountainNews reported: "A vegetable garden planted in a container can be attractive and productive. The first step is to select the site for your container. Most vegetables require full sun to be productive, so look around your property for an area that will take full advantage of the sun's rays." Keep in mind that the bottom of your pot should have holes from draining, otherwise the roots are going to drown.

I had definitely seen something, just before the panic had started. It looked like a girl, human shaped, floating high up next to the ceiling. And then the lights had gone mad and fire had flared up and for a moment I lost sight of this girl in the confusion. When I looked back after everything had settled down, she had gone.
I watched as Jeremy and Katherine danced together, but my mind was on what I had seen. Had I seen it? Or was I just seeing things in the heat of the moment? Should I say something?
I decided remaining quiet was the thing to do. No one was hurt and the girl was gone... but if I saw her again I wouldn't be so quiet.
"Long time no see Demi." I heard the deep tones behind me say and turned to see Brad standing there, a glass of champagne in his hand.
"Brad. You look good." I smiled, taking the champagne and sneaking a sip. He took it from me with a grin and put it to the side.
"So do you. But you're not legally allowed to drink yet, no matter how good you look."
"Neither are you. You're not twenty one yet." I teased.
"Touche. I won't tell if you won't."
"Seems like a fair deal."
"I'll throw in a dance too."
"Thought you'd never ask."
As I danced with Brad I realised how long it had been since I'd seen him. Well, it had been a while since I'd seen everyone, but Brad had been the longest. He was the eldest of all the Avengers children, and then it was me, and then Jason. As a result, the three of us had been closer for most of our younger lives, and that still hung in the air when we met. I looked over at Jason now. He had found Brian, Brad's brother, and was talking to him. And Jeremy and Katherine were still dancing with each other, while Brianna stood watching, a small smile on her face.
"Your sister's grown." I offered as a way of conversation, not sure what to say after so long.
"Yes she has. We all have." He smiled down at me.
"Well we've had time to. Nothing major ever happens anymore. Not with our parents watching over everything."
"It will soon be our turn. They can't defend the planet forever. At some point, we will have to take over."
"Oh yes? So you'll be saving the world in a lab coat will you?" I grinned.
"If that is where I'm needed." The song ended and I pulled away a little. The thought of our parents not being able to defend the world any more was a little nerve racking."I think my father wants me. I'll see you later." With that he was gone.
"Demi, come on, I'm going to cut my cake." Katherine grabbed me as I watched Brad walk away.
"Ok, I'm coming." I smiled, and followed her. Her mother was waiting by the table. "Hey Pepper. I've missed you!" I grinned, hugging her.
"Demetria, I've missed you too!" She smiled, kissing my cheek. "How do you like the city."
"It's brilliant thanks. Freedom at last." I laughed.
"You'll have to tell me about it. Right now though..." Pepper put her arm around Kat's shoulders. "Everyone, it's time for the birthday girl to blow out the candles."
Kat grinned round as everyone came over. I looked surreptitiously over at Brad as we congregated to sing, and saw he was talking quietly to Nick Fury.
"Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday dear Katherine, Happy Birthday to you!" We all sang, and Kat blew out her candles in front of her mother and father.

If you like toppings on your burger that are a little different than the usual ketchup, mustard, pickles then you may want to check out this burger from Ontario chain The Works. It's getting a ton of attention in the U.S., probably because we're usually the ones mocking them for their outrageous calorie corrupt food. This one from The Works is part of their new Get Stuff'd menu and has Reese's Peanut Butter Cups stuffed inside the actual patty and on top too.
Now, if you put Reese's Peanut Butter Cups in my kids' Halloween bag you're my new favourite neighbour but I'm not sure if I would like them inside a burger.
This reminded me of a burger at Ground Burger Bar in Newmarket I visited last week. They have a Smores Burger with Nutella and toasted marshmallows. I didn't try it but the server said it was delicious.
Now I'm hungry.
It's #NationalChocolateDay, & we've got a burger that's causing quite a stir with choco lovers #wedareyou #ReesePBC pic.twitter.com/kP3z7AlxuP— The WORKS (@WORKSBURGER) October 28, 2015

The Liberal government's own numbers show spending rising to 14.6 per cent of GDP over the next three years
With all the aides, assistants and advisers available to political hotshots, why does no one ever stop to say, "Um, sorry minister, but it might be an idea to pay for that muffin yourself."
If Mike Duffy had the good sense of the Pope, would he have demanded repayment for living in his own home? Would Bev Oda have insisted on staying at the Savoy Hotel at $665 a night and billing for $16 orange juice?
Duffy, Harb and Brazeau should be expelled from the Senate
Erin O'Toole easily won today's byelection in the riding of Durham, leaving the second-place New Democrat challenger well in his wake
he Conservative government is eliminating subsidized parking for ministers' chiefs of staffs, as it looks to rein in spending and prepares to overhaul pension plans for public servants and MPs
The Conservatives will have a problem if their chief of staffs are too weak or too inexperienced to read a minister the riot act.
A penalty of $250 US for smoking in a hotel room was among the expenses charged to taxpayers by Bev Oda, Canada's former minister of international co-operation.
The departing minister could serve as the poster-person for what annoys, frustrates and alienates Canadians about politicians
Embattled former cabinet minister Bev Oda offered no explanation Tuesday for her decision to resign as she prepared for her life as a private citizen -- one who will garner nearly $700,000 in benefits by age 80 despite contributing only about $130,000 to her pension.

How do you make a brand desirable in today's complex marketplace?
Look no further than Amazon.com (AMZN) for the answer. A report released by brand consultancy Clear on Friday showed that Amazon topped the list of the most desirable brands for the second straight year. The report ranked brand desirability based on nine proprietary metrics measuring consumers' rational, emotional and behavioral responses to brands.
"Amazon's desirability stems from the great success of the Kindle Fire HD, a steady stream of perks for Amazon Prime members, an increased focus on its Prime Instant Video and a continued stream of meaningful innovation such as Amazon Lockers," said a press release announcing the findings. "Amazon has truly transformed from a marketplace for shopping to a digital hub for consumers to manage their lives."
Clear, a part of M&C Saatchi, focused its 2013 study on the United Kingdom, the U.S. and Australia. In the U.S., it interviewed 4,600 consumers about 245 familiar brands.
The Reese's brand, owned by Hershey (HSY), ranked No. 2, followed by Disney, owned by Walt Disney (DIS).
The report shows retail has strong desirability, thanks to brands investing in experiences that clearly connect with shopper needs.
"The brand desire for Amazon highlights consumers affinity to brands that have a clear purpose and constantly innovating to meet their needs," according to the report's findings.
While Amazon kept up its allure, Apple (AAPL) lost some of its luster. Its brand desirability dropped to No. 50 from No. 8 in 2012 as the brand wavered and lost focus, according to the report.
"Starting with an onslaught of too many products in the fall of 2012, the debacle of Maps' reliability, as well as 'function over feeling' branding, has affected its reputation for providing technology that truly matters," the report found.
On the flip side, the Coca-Cola (KO) brand increased in desire to No. 8 from No. 50 last year.
The report also found that U.S. consumers want brands that will be on their side, not just talking about making their lives better.
Americans still don't like banks in the wake of the financial crisis, housing bust and massive foreclosures. Bank of America (BAC), Wells Fargo (WFC) and Citibank, owned by Citigroup (C), ranked in the bottom 20 of brand desire.

W.D. Schock Santana 30 info?
I own "The Jazz" a W.D. Schock Santana 30 Tall Rig built in 76. She used to be "Andiamo" and was owned by Tony Falella out of East Providence, RI. I have been trying to find out anything about Her. If you or anyone else knows of any website or group that has any info on Santana 30''s please e-mail me. I have had seven good years sailing her in and around Rhode Island waters. I have made many upgrades including a pedistal steering, cd player with cockpit and cabin speakers, chartplotter, new pressurized fresh water system, electric flush head with new holding tank, complete rewire including the mast, AGM batteries, JRC 1500 radar, Seldin roller furler and off course new sails. Anyone out there in the same boat as me, let me know.
W.D. Schock Santana 30 info?
The only place that I know of to get info on this boat is the Santana 30/30 website. It is not the same animal that the website is dedicated to, but they are helpful with what they know. I was thinking about buying one of these boats to PHRF Club race. I was wondering if you could give me some insite to the performance of her.
Anyone else that has any opinion on this boat, please let me know. Thanks, Sam
W.D. Schock Santana 30 info?
Hi Jazz! Congrats on choosing a great boat! I dont know of any S-30 specific web sites, BUT, I DID happen to run Schock Boats service dept. for about 8 years, and have spent many years sailing, racing, breaking and fixing S-30''s and other Schock / Santana boats, and I know a pretty fair bit about them. Email me your ph# or? and perhaps we can hook up.
W.D. Schock Santana 30 info?
p.s., the s-30/30 is a TOTALLY different boat! The S30 was a Shad Turner design, and the S-30/30 is a Nelson/ Marek design, so I doubt you''ll get much s-30 info on the 30/30 wesite.
W.D. Schock Santana 30 info?
I am seriously considering buying a 1975 Santana 30 and wondered if you would share your thoughts on the sailing characteristics of the boat, and anything I should watch for prior to making an offer. Thank you
W.D. Schock Santana 30 info?
I am seriously considering buying a 1975 Schock Santana 30 and would very much like your comments on the boat. I would also like to discuss the upgrades you have done. Thank yu.

Marking the release of a report on the barriers foreign-trained high-skilled immigrants face in the United States, this webinar examines programs and initiatives that assist with credential recognition, employment, and relicensure, as well as recent policy developments. Discussants review recommendations for community-based organizations, employers, and policymakers to expand successful efforts aimed at preventing brain waste.
Nearly 2 million college-educated immigrants in the United States, more than half coming with academic and professional credentials, are unable to fully utilize their professional skills and instead are stuck in low-skilled work or are unemployed. This report explores a range of programs and policies that are providing cutting-edge career navigation, relicensing, gap filling, and job search assistance to remedy this brain waste.
Marking the release of an MPI report, researchers and practitioners on this webinar discuss brain waste among college-educated immigrants and initiatives that ease the barriers foreign-educated newcomers confront with regards to credential recognition, employment, and relicensure, as well as recent policy developments and ongoing challenges in the field.
As states work to build high-quality early childhood systems and implement the federal Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) and Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), having detailed knowledge of the characteristics of immigrant parents can help maximize the effectiveness of programs that seek to improve child and family outcomes, as this commentary explains.
These fact sheets provide a sociodemographic sketch of parents with children ages 0 to 8 in the 30 states with the largest number of immigrant families, offering data and analysis of some of the key parental characteristics to help stakeholders identify populations that could be targets for early childhood and parent-focused programs working to improve child and parent outcomes.
Across the United States, nearly 2 million immigrants with college degrees are unemployed or stuck in low-skilled jobs. This skill underutilization, also known as "brain waste," varies significantly by state. These fact sheets offer a profile of these highly skilled immigrants and estimate their forgone earnings and resulting unrealized tax receipts in seven key states: California, Florida, Michigan, New York, Ohio, Texas, and Washington.
Nearly 2 million immigrants with college degrees in the United States—one out of every four—are employed in low-skilled jobs or unable to find work. This report explores this skill underutilization, often referred to as brain waste, and offers the first-ever economic costs of underemployment for immigrants in the United States: More than $39 billion in forgone wages and a resulting $10 billion in unrealized tax receipts.
A report release and presentation of first-ever U.S. estimates on the actual economic costs of skill underutilization for immigrants, their families, and the U.S. economy, in terms of forgone earnings and unrealized federal, state, and local taxes.
MPI experts discuss their analysis of data on U.S. foreign- and native-born parents with young children, along with their findings from a field study of select two-generation programs that serve immigrant and refugee families. They explore the implications of WIOA and recommendations for successful program and policy design.
Two-generation programs that weave together early childhood learning with adult-focused programs hold great potential to break cycles of intergenerational poverty for low-income parents with young children. Little research has been done on how these programs succeed with immigrant families. This report studies select programs and offers analysis of the sociodemographic characteristics of U.S. parents with young children.
Although the number of U.S. residents who speak a language other than English has grown in recent decades, the share of those who are Limited English Proficient (LEP) has fallen: 40 percent in 2015, compared to 44 percent in 1980—even as immigration rose rapidly. This article examines growing linguistic diversity in the country and sketches a profile of the LEP population, including size, location, and socioeconomic characteristics.
On this webinar, speakers discuss findings from a report that analyzes U.S. parent population data and draws from a field study of select two-generation programs that serve immigrant and refugee families.
Somali and Bhutanese refugees are two of the largest groups recently resettled in the United States and Canada. This report examines factors that might promote or undermine the mental health and overall well-being of children of these refugees, with regard to factors such as past exposure to trauma, parental mental health, educational attainment, social support, and discrimination.
At the fourth anniversary of the Obama administration's Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, this issue brief describes the populations eligible for DACA as of 2016; discusses recent policy developments; presents trends in DACA requests and application rates nationwide, by state, and for top countries of origin; and examines the impacts that DACA has had on qualifying young unauthorized immigrants.
As states move to implement the federal Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA), which provides the national framework for workforce training and adult education services, the Obama administration recently missed a prime opportunity to ensure that immigrants and refugees receive equitable access to the law's services, as this commentary explores.
A webinar discussing fact sheets that compare the characteristics of immigrant and native-born residents that are relevant to understanding needs for adult education and workforce training services in the United States and the ten states with the largest immigrant populations.
As federal and state governments ramp up efforts to implement the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act, these fact sheets compare key characteristics of the foreign born and the U.S. born that are relevant to understanding needs for adult education and workforce training services. The fact sheets cover the United States, the 20 states and 25 counties with the largest immigrant populations, and New York City.
A webinar marking the release of Immigrants and WIOA fact sheets that provides analysis of characteristics of immigrant and native-born residents in the United States that are relevant to understanding needs for adult education and workforce training services.
This webinar discusses the different policies that states have on unauthorized immigrants and in-state tuition, financial aid and other benefits, and the implications for unauthorized immigrant youth seeking two- and four-year college degrees.
Since 2001, 17 states have enacted measures to allow qualified unauthorized immigrant youth to pay resident tuition rates at their postsecondary institutions. Other states, meanwhile, have moved in the opposite direction. This commentary explores the different state approaches and requirements that have resulted in an unsettling policy patchwork.

|The lonesome shooter
|04.02.09 at 1:22 pm ET
With apologies to Adam Sandler, Ray Allen felt like the Lonesome Shooter on Wednesday night.
He had no lift or life in his jump shot in the fourth quarter and teammate Eddie House, who was on fire, gave him some friendly advice.
"It was like for a second, everything was flat," Allen said. "I just needed to kind of back away from it and just get my legs back. I went out of the game and kind of clean-slated it. Eddie was telling me, obviously one of the best shooters in the NBA, he was telling me, 'I don't normally say anything to you but your shot, everything is flat.' It's all in my legs. There were two shots I took before I left the game. I think in the fourth quarter, it was just legs and I knew it once the ball left my fingertips. It's a funky thing for me."
Another teammate, Paul Pierce, called Ray Ray the best clutch shooter he's ever seen.
"I'll proclaim Ray the greatest shooter in the history of the NBA that I've ever seen,' Pierce said after Allen's game-winner with 2.1 seconds to go in double-OT.
But Allen remained humble.
"He didn't play with Reggie Miller," Allen said. "I'm sure he would've seen heroics from him day-in and day-out. I think it's all predicated on what you do in clutch situations. I think on a couple of buzzer-beaters I've hit, he's been the passer. He's been right there, personally. It's odd because Paul's the one that always has the ball but I'm the one who's made a couple of buzzer-beaters the last two years. He's hit a lot of big shots but it always somebody makes a mistake. Eddie's out there, I'm out there, Kevin's out there to make them pay for their bad rotations.
"In my mind, I always think the next shot is always the one that going to go in and the next shot after that is the going to be the shot to win the game. Regardless of what's happened up to this point, my mind has to be ready to take that shot as if I'm in the gym myself."
Just like Andre Kristacovitchlalinski, Jr.

State University of New York at Buffalo, Buffalo, NY
PURPOSE: Ventilator associated pneumonia (VAP) remains a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in critically ill patients. Until recently, vancomycin remained the only available treatment option for VAP due to methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). A pooled analysis of two trials exploring the role of linezolid in the treatment of VAP revealed that the use of linezolid increased significantly the likelihood of cure and improved mortality compared to vancomycin. Recently, elevated plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) levels were linked to poor outcome. The objective of this study is to determine the impact of antimicrobial therapy on the restoration of homeostatic balance following the use of linezolid versus vancomycin.
METHODS: A total of 16 patients with VAP due to MRSA and four controls were recruited from the critical care units at the Erie County Medical Center in a prospective, open label, randomized 1:1 study of linezolid versus vancomycin. Baseline assessments included medical history, vital signs, chest x-ray, CPIS score, and APACHE II score. A bronchoalveolar lavage was performed at VAP onset and at 72 hours post initiation of therapy. PAI-1 expression and alveolar concentrations were assessed and compared between the linezolid and the vancomycin groups at each time point.
RESULTS: PAI-1 mRNA was significantly elevated at VAP onset compared to controls. Patients in both treatment groups had similar intensity of PAI-1 expression which declined significantly after 72 hours of treatment with either vancomycin or linezolid. There was no difference between the PAI-1 expression and the PAI-1 antigen levels between both groups at each time point.
CONCLUSION: Linezolid is equivalent to vancomycin in reducing the PAI-1 expression in patients with VAP at 72 hours following antibiotic therapy.
CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: Linezolid is equally effective in reducing the alteration in hemostatic balance in VAP compared to vancomycin.
