So another year of Spike's VGA's have come and gone. Despite people bitching about them, I think overall it is beneficial to have something on television that celebrates and brings attention to games in general.
1. The use of "Star Power" is nice, but I would like well known game designers/publishers to be involved in the show more in some way.
2. I did like the use of game music featured, and wish they did more things like the orchestra game mash up, then stuff like Linkin Park's song. Maybe a Nobuo Uematsu appearance?
3. More awards being shown. The actual award announcing was few and far between (or was it just me? I was multitasking...). I still remember last year that best voice actor/actress were given awards off screen even though they were at the event. Mark Hamill was pissed and you don't piss off Luke Goddamn Skywalker. Even so, the same thing happened this year.
4. Too much random shit. I like the "characters" having their own segment, but there was too much random skits and the like happened. The games getting "Samuel Jackson'd" were ok at best, I'd rather see more awards.
5. Game of the Decade was underwhelming. No, I'm not referring to the fact that Half-Life 2 won. The way it was handled made it seem like just another award. Yeah that had a mash up of game footage, but could they have done something more?
6. The reveals are a good thing. Dark Souls II to The Phantom Pain (MGS thingy), are really cool to watch and give a reason for me to tune in.
7. People (Zachary Levi) referring to how "nerdy" they felt. I feel like, in general, our medium is trying to get past that "only nerds are gamers" thing and that's not really helping matters. I'm a huge nerd/geek/dork, whichever one fits, but if we're trying to make gaming available to EVERYONE, and tell people "you don't have to be a nerd to game!" referring to how big a nerdgasm you're having at the VGA's isn't a step in the right direction.
I appreciate the VGA's for trying to celebrate gaming, and I understand that their usual demographic would tune in if Jessica Alba was giving awards versus someone more recognizable to gamers. All in all, I hope the VGA's continue to grow in popularity and refine their show. Honesty, if you think about it, the VGA's do a lot better at picking games for the categories than American Music Awards and the Grammy's do for music; exception: Journey's nomination plus the winners are voted by the public!
Also, there are opinions coming from from a biased gamer, so take from them what you will.

She can't help it, they're meant to be. So sad, so passionate, so...amazing. I absolutely love the Snape/Lily pairing! Caught me by surprise in "Deathly Hallows" but I was hooked after the first sentence I read about them! So much more interesting than James and Lily! You should write more Sev/Lily stories.

September is PCOS Awareness Month which helps bring attention to women with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS). Did you know about 7 million women in the U.S. have PCOS? PCOS is one of the leading causes of infertility and afflicts nearly 5-10% of women of childbearing age. Common symptoms of PCOS include irregular or missing periods, anovulation, an inability to lose weight and facial hair growth, however, PCOS is a collection of symptoms and can look very different in different women. Many of the women I see at Pulling Down the Moon are actually within their ideal weight range and have few of the classic symptoms of PCOS. Check out this past blog I wrote titled The Many Faces of PCOS.
Nutrition can greatly impact and help to manage PCOS - even the atypical case of PCOS can benefit from a diet which helps with blood sugar regulation and nutrients that help with insulin sensitivity. While there is no known cause of PCOS, there are some identified factors which may be contributing to PCOS. In my next post, I'll look at some of these factors that have been connected to PCOS such as thyroid disease, insulin resistance, hormonal imbalances and genetic causes - and discuss in more detail. Stay tuned.

|Entry to Tippling Club
|Tippling Club, Singapore
Housed across three shoplots in the dynamic neighbourhood of Tanjong Pagar, the property features a main bar and restaurant on the ground level, and an exclusive private dining space and test kitchen on the second floor.
The Fig Sidecar ($22) looks so pretty I don't want to remove the edible garnish of toffee, raspberry and mint. I know that if I don't, hubby will have no qualms, so this launches my first sip. Fig infused cognac and citrus fill a glass half rimmed with sugar. My first thought is balance – of which hubby is showing none, as he has this elegant mix down before I can take a second sip. "Sabroso," he exclaims.
Jungle Old Fashioned ($22) would be a fine substitute for dessert. First take a bite of the banana chocolate biscuit (yum!) and then a sup of the malt whisky and chocolate bitters blend. Divine. I hint to Kamil that they might consider selling the chocolate garnish as a separate item for take away. His smile is broad as if he knew what I was going to suggest – seems I'm not the first and these sweet treats are indeed available to take home.
Head Chef Paul Gajewski arrives to line our tummies with a Bag of Fried Things ($10). He's holding a brown paper bag reminding me of school lunches from childhood. What's inside however is much more enticing than a Vegemite sandwich: nori crackers, puffed beef tendons, and truffle styrofoam. They're backed up by an order of Charred Peppers ($17), which we smell before we see. A wonderful smokiness teases our noses as curious black strings of the smoked and charred capsicum strips are laid before us. These are good, but it's the soy and wasabi dipping sauce that has us intrigued. Aerated and whippy, resembling chocolate mousse, the texture has us asking for a spoon but the sharp finish keeps a hold on our reins.
|Head Chef Paul Gajewski with a Bag of Fried Things
Manchego Bread Puffs ($20) are deceivingly simply named. They're so much more decadent than their title leads us to believe. Twelve month aged manchego cheese fondue spills into our mouths at first bite. As the rich fondue seductively surrounds our tongues and cheeks, the Bellota ham and hazelnut oil caviar contrast the texture and have us both swiftly popping another between our lips. If you only order one bar snack on the menu – make it this!
Hunger pangs satiated, it's time for more drinks.
Is Kamil giving us a hint to take a bath with the next delivery? Satorial ($24) appears to be a box of the fine fragrance for men by Penhaligons. Blended whisky, early grey honey, clove, leather and black peppercorns come together to create a beverage just as elegant as the gentleman's eau de toilette. There's an order to appreciating this: first smell the fragrance; next take a sip from the bottle; finally try a few drops on ice. Much like whisky, the taste opens up further on ice, but each person has his or her own preference. For me it's straight up, while hubby's fond of the ice companion.
The surprisingly delightful combination of fruit and wasabi comes to the forefront in the Peach and Wasabi ($23). This newbie on the menu has a gin base, with peach and wasabi playing an amusing game of seesaw, and egg white smoothing over some of the sharper notes. Kamil says, "It's dessert for adults." We thought the Jungle Old Fashioned was fine afters for grown ups, but we're happy to classify another to the list of "fine liquid replacements for dessert."
A sassy salutation to the infamous South American drug baron, Pablo Escobar, is seen in the Pablo ($20). Cachaca is shaken together with Lillet Blanc, red grapes and lime juice and served aside a $100 Brazilian Real note and a mini zip-lock bag of passion fruit 'cocaine.' Kamil has a cheeky spark in his eye as he lays down the goods, raises his eyebrows and says, "If you like it, there's more for a small extra charge." He recommends alternative sipping between the liquid and dipping your finger in the fruity powdered sugar. It's a fun and delicious finish to our evening tipple, one of which we hope to partake in again in the not too distant future.
Reasons to visit: stimulating setting; great spot for after work drinks and to continue the evening on; don't miss the Jungle Old Fashioned, Pablo, Sartorial and Manchego Bread Puffs.

The Russian connection: See all our coverage | Read about our investigation
Jonathan SteinFeb. 17, 2009 12:00 PM
The US Mint is completely out of control. Most recent illustration: the release of four (4!) new pennies commemorating the 200th anniversary of Abraham Lincoln's birth. The first, shown at the right, is already in production. Here are details:
The first coin, nicknamed the "Kentucky Penny," features an image of one-room log cabin where Lincoln was born on Feb. 12, 1809, near
Hodgenville, Ky....
The second design, the "Indiana Penny," features an image of a young
Lincoln taking a break from his work as an Indiana rail splitter. It
will find its way into pockets and change purses starting May 14.
The "Illinois Penny," marking Lincoln's work as a state legislator, will start dropping into tip jars Aug. 13.
And the fourth penny, with an image of the unfinished U.S. Capitol dome, makes its debut Nov. 12. The unfinished dome symbolizes the
nation torn apart by the Civil War and Lincoln's resolve to bring it back together.
And just in case that wasn't enough, the Mint is also producing 500,000 commemorative Lincoln silver dollars. This is officially Minters Gone Wild. Tourists visiting America already have to deal with the fact that our quarters have over fifty different images on the back, many of which are obscure references to local tourist attractions. (Some don't even exist any more!) There are two different versions of Jefferson on our nickles, there are dollar and half-dollar coins you've never heard of, and starting in 2010 the US Mint is going to start featuring national parks on our quarters. Did you know that there are $10 coins featuring famous first wives?
Enough! The pictures on the back of our coins ought to mean something. I know this is a bizarre place to make a stand for tradition, but we're now printing coins with middling Presidents Harrison, Tyler, Polk, and Taylor on them. At this point, the national Mint is like a frantic crack addict, looking desperately for a new fix that it knows it will enjoy less than the last. Consider this an intervention, Mint. Go check yourself into rehab before we find you sprawled out in a gutter surrounded by dimes with pictures of Grover Cleveland's private commode on the back.

There were signs, even before Obama took office, that fiscal conservatives would try to use the recession to achieve their long-cherished goal of rolling back the entitlement programs responsible for rescuing millions of elders from desperate poverty. A month ago, I wrote about the coming "entitlement wars," in which public fears and misapprehensions would be exploited to manufacture intergenerational conflict, and Social Security and Medicare would be raided to pay for the economic stimulus. In the current issue of The Nation, William Greider has written the essential article on the subject, laying out the history, the players, and the tactics employed in this long-brewing battle.
Governing elites in Washington and Wall Street have devised a fiendishly clever "grand bargain" they want President Obama to embrace in the name of "fiscal responsibility." The government, they argue, having spent billions on bailing out the banks, can recover its costs by looting the Social Security system. They are also targeting Medicare and Medicaid. The pitch sounds preposterous to millions of ordinary working people anxious about their economic security and worried about their retirement years. But an impressive armada is lined up to push the idea–Washington's leading think tanks, the prestige media, tax-exempt foundations, skillful propagandists posing as economic experts and a self-righteous billionaire spending his fortune to save the nation from the elderly.

What's in a name? A lot, particularly if you're a company accused of misdeeds. The best way out, as has been shown time and again, is simply to discard your name, adopt a new identity, and start again. It's a veritable capitalist tradition. Just ask the budget airline ValueJet, which, after one of its planes nosedived into the Florida Everglades in May 1996, killing everyone aboard, quietly became AirTran. Even cereal executives know the score: the breakfast favorite "Sugar Pops" became "Corn Pops" as health conscious mothers awoke to the idea that feeding sugar to their kids each morning was not a great idea.
What about repeated, questionable shootings of Iraqis? That, too, demands a blank slate... or so Blackwater has decided. Buried in the news Friday was Erik Prince's decision to rebrand his network of military contracting firms from Blackwater to "Xe," pronouned like the letter "z." Seems pretty lame at first blush, but perhaps it's a stroke of genius. Could it be that reporters' fascination with the Blackwater flows, at least in part, from the perfect symmetry of shady dealings and an ominous, Bond-villainish name?

A full breakdown of where stimulus money is going is here. An example, taken at random:
Federal Aviation Administration infrastructure $200,000,000
Grants-in-aid for airports $1,100,000,000
Highway infrastructure investment $26,725,000,000
Highway infrastructure investment in Puerto Rico $105,000,000
Highway infrastructure funds distributed by states $60,000,000
Highway funds for the Indian Reservation Roads program $550,000,000
And the end result of the wrangle over executive pay limitations is here. The upshot: the strongest versions of the pay limitations, proposed by Sens. Wyden, Snowe, and McCaskill, were not adopted; a gentler version, proposed by Sen. Dodd, was.
Update: Oh, forgot. Here's my piece from yesterday on the green community's reaction to the stimulus bill. In short: they love it.

When the stimulus package hits President Obama's desk, it will include a provision banning bailed-out banks from replacing laid-off American workers with skilled foreigners.
Senators Bernie Sanders (I-Vermont) and Charles Grassley (R-Iowa) proposed the ban, which would last two years. Their proposal came a few weeks after the Associated Press reported banks that had received $150 billion in bailout money requested work visas for nearly 22,000 foreign workers during the last six years, a move Sanders called "absurd."

Three human rights groups released more than a thousand pages of Department of Defense and CIA documents Thursday that outline how closely the two agencies worked in rendering terrorism suspects to black sites, keeping detainees' identities secret, and tempering bad publicity for inmate treatment at Guántanamo Bay.
Most of the documents—obtained after Amnesty International, the Center for Constitutional Rights, and the Center for Human Rights and Global Justice sued under the Freedom of Information Act—simply contain news articles, but the Center for Constitutional Rights scoured the files and found three significant disclosures from the DoD.

Andrew Cuomo, New York's Attorney General, is most displeased. Cuomo is investigating why Merrill Lynch handed out $3.6 billion in bonuses before releasing its horrendous results for the fourth quarter of 2008, in which it lost $15.31 billion. After doling out the bonuses, Merrill Lynch was subsequently bought by Bank of America (with $20 billion of taxpayer help), and Bank of America was later the beneficiary of a $25 billion government bailout. The bonuses were also very unequally distributed—while 39,000 employees received some bonus money, 700 employees were made millionaires by the bonus pool, and the top 149 bonus recipients alone received $858 million. The New York AG's office wants to know why Merrill Lynch saw fit to reward so few of its employees so extravagantly for such massive failure. But Cuomo's not stopping at a state-level investigation—he's also calling in the feds. In a letter to Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.), the chair of the House Financial Services Committee, Cuomo dishes the dirt on his ongoing investigation of Merrill:
On October 29, 2008, we asked Merrill Lynch to detail, among other things, their plans
for executive bonuses for 2008, including the size of the bonus pool and the criteria they planned
to use in determining what, if any, bonuses were appropriate for their top executives... Merrill did not provide my Office
with any details as to the bonus pool, claiming that such details had not been determined.
Rather, in a surprising fit of corporate irresponsibility, it appears that, instead of
disclosing their bonus plans in a transparent way as requested by my Office, Merrill Lynch
secretly moved up the planned date to allocate bonuses and then richly rewarded their failed
executives. Merrill Lynch had never before awarded bonuses at such an early date and this
timetable allowed Merrill to dole out huge bonuses ahead of their awful fourth quarter earnings
announcement and before the planned takeover of Merrill by Bank of America. [emphasis added]
The sheer Rod-Blagojevich-esque audacity of Merrill's move is impressive. Merrill knew it was being watched by Cuomo, who had asked them to behave reasonably and transparently with their bonuses. One would think that knowledge would inspire some sort of caution. But no—instead, Merrill just went ahead and did what it wanted to anyway, likely figuring that politicians wouldn't have the stomach to take back bonuses that had already been handed out. (Better to beg forgiveness than to ask permission.) That may be the case, but one of Cuomo's accusations seems to make government punishment a bit more likely. "One disturbing question that must be answered," Cuomo writes, "is whether Merrill Lynch and Bank of
America timed the bonuses in such a way as to force taxpayers to pay for them through the deal
funding." Sure, politicians are reluctant make people give up already-awarded bonuses. But if the bonuses essentially came from taxpayer money, public outrage might force Congress (or Cuomo) to make Merrill's employees give the money back.

The Russian connection: See all our coverage | Read about our investigation
There's apparently a new oil slick in the Gulf of Mexico, and some believe that BP may again be at fault. The sheen was spotted in roughly the same region of the Gulf as last year's spill, but the company says it doesn't believe it's coming from BP's operations. Via the Associated Press:
BP spokesman Daren Beaudo said his company had sent several remotely controlled mini-submersibles into the water over the weekend to investigate the source of the sheen — a shiny coating that floats on the surface of the water which generally comes from leaked or spilled oil — but had concluded "that it couldn't have been from anything of ours."
The company indicated that it appears to be coming from two abandoned exploration well sites in the Green Canyon Block, which is southwest of the the site where the Deepwater Horizon blew up last year and unleashed millions of barrels of oil on the Gulf. Some residents of the region, including this New Orleans lawyer, are arguing that the new sheen is indeed coming from the site of last year's blowout. But the new leak looks to be pretty far away from that site, so I'd wait for more information before making any claims on that front.
But this is a good reminder of something we noted last year, which is that there is plenty of background leakage in the Gulf at any given time. We really don't have a very good idea of how much oil leaks into the water regularly, since we don't really monitor it. But small leaks from day-to-day operations, abandoned wells, and pipelines are fairly common. (There are, of course, also natural seeps.) The massive blowout last year got a whole lot more attention, but oil operations regularly wreak havoc on the Gulf.

Blind DriveMature
Marty steps from the bathroom, claps his hands together as if a job well done, gives the girl who walks by a smug look, and then heads back to his cubicle. But he is not completely careless, because he stops before entering the open ground from the water cooler to the first cubicle. Across the grey walls that stand in formation like a kiddy maze, Marty spots a few unfamiliar craniums.
His dangerous pursuers? Possible. But Marty isn't about to take chances. He looks at his watch. He has a half hour to get to his phone call. So he may as well get moving now. He turns on his heel, walks casually down the hall, tips his imaginary cap to the same girl who now appears slightly creeped out, and presses the button for the elevator.
This is easy. No windows. No scaffolding. Just a happy elevator down to the parking level. The doors slide open and Marty finds himself looking into the eye holes of a mask. He is frightened by the mask itself, and the gun seems only a formality as the man grabs him by the collar and yanks him into the elevator.
The doors slide shut, and the man says something. But he sounds like someone talking around a soother.
"I can't hear you," Marty says. "Take your mask off."
The man looks to the roof and laughs. He says something very smug like a I'm-not-that-stupid, but it would be hard to say for sure.
"Is that so. Because I'd always thought anchovies on pizza was a little weird."
The man makes a confused sound, and lifts the mask slightly from his face. "I said, I won't fall for your stupid tricks that easily!"
"I can see your face now," Marty comments.
The man slams the mask back down, and fingers his weapon. Marty carefully allows his eyes to sneak a peek at the gun. But he looks back up at the mask as the man raises his arm. It's hard to make eye contact with a loaded gun.
"Interesting…mask," Marty says. It has baby blue cheeks, big gruesome green lips, and wild red eyes, with wrinkles on the forehead quite like a Klingon.
"This is not a mask. This is a face! A priceless collector's face from the Grandé Marquee Spectaculus."
Marty feels a jolt of plot anxiety in his gut, and he feels rather disturbed by the mask. But this news causes him to look back down at the gun. The elevator doors slide open to the parking lot, and the man grabs him by the arm and manhandles him forward. Marty doesn't particularly like to be manhandled. Especially by strange men. Shoved, pushed, and generally kicked around is fine. But being manhandled feels a little different.
Marty makes a big deal about it, and the masked man shoves the gun into his side. "Move or this gun will remove you," the man hisses.
Marty moves until they find the man's vehicle, a black, shady car. And he is then shoved into the backseat, where he is met by another startling mask with a gun. This time the face has swollen cheeks painted steamy red, a golden nugget nose, and a shiny, blue forehead. His gun is very different from his accomplices, having a nearly pirate look to it.
They pull out of the parking lot and onto the street.
"Are we there yet?" whines Marty.
He feels the gun jut into his gut. He instinctively looks down at this affliction, but realizes that the masked man beside him is gazing straight ahead, and undoubtedly cannot even see Marty from this angle. Marty realizes he has somewhat of an advantage. Although, he also realizes the true danger of the situation. A man with inch wide eye holes is driving the vehicle through city traffic.
Marty groans and tries not to be sick. And quite suddenly, he realizes that they are driving along Park Lane. His phone call should be passing on the right within a few blocks.
Marty looks back to the gun. He looks to the clock. 3:42pm. Then he looks to the passing street names. Charleston Avenue. Then he looks back to the gun. Then he looks at the man's mask. Then he looks at the gun. Then he does a double-take.
The gun has a signature on it. Lewy Stross.
The men behind the masks are taken by surprise as Marty lets out a maniacal laugh. "You guys are a bunch of geeks!" he laughs. "Thanks for the ride, but I must be going."
He impulsively opens the side door and sees the yellow line snaking around on the ground below. Apparently, the guns were not the only things keeping him from jumping out of a moving vehicle. Right, the 'vehicle' part and the 'moving' part have to be considered. The man beside him grabs him and thrusts the gun against his side.
"Where're yer going?" he screams from behind his mask.
"The phone's for me," Marty shouts, fighting back by plugging the eye holes of the man beside him. But the man grabs at his throat, and Marty finds himself hanging out of the open door with his hands nearly on the rolling pavement. The car swerves and skids down the road as the driver wonders what he should do with the side door wide open.
Marty screams a few wild insults somewhere beyond Monty Python in the parallel dimension to Shakespeare and appropriately riddled with an orchestrated score of obscenities. And then he decides to go for a different tactic as he pulls himself back into the car enough to wrap his hands around the driver's mask. He grabs hard and holds on, his thumbs over the eye holes.
The accomplice in the back seat attacks, attempting to pull Marty away, but he only manages to add to the pressure on the driver's mask; all it takes is two thumbs to blind him.
The driver doesn't scream because he doesn't have enough air, but the wheels scream for him as he accidentally slams on the gas rather than the brakes. The side door is still open, and it slams into a trash can on the far side of the road as the car leaps off the road and onto the rich lawns of Park Lane.
Marty's eyes are wild as he stares out of the front windshield. They're aiming for a serious army of lawn ornaments, and it's not going to be pretty. The car tears up the grass as it accelerates parallel to the road, and Marty is nearly pulled from the driver as the other man is flung backwards. Marty somehow frees his legs and uses them to push his masked friend over the back seat.
The seven dwarves are taken out like bowling pins and the fawns are smashed like pumpkins on November 1st with the power of an extra fire cracker. The vehicle then launches through the lattice fence and onto the next lawn. The driver is no longer hard on the gas, but he also hasn't found the brakes, and his knees are stuck in the wheel as he pushes back against his seat to relieve the pressure while freeing his hands to grab at Marty.
A fake wishing well is sent spinning off of its base like a shooting star and a net of grape vines wraps itself across the front windshield. Add a splatter of compost and no one can see out the front. Suddenly Marty, though he is busy blinding the driver, feels rather afraid at not being able to see in front of the vehicle. Now there is no chance to steer even if he did allow the driver to take a peek.
The car hits an incline and flies up and over a set of steps, stripping a clothes line as it goes. This would be the part where everyone in the fight would end up in a new set of clothes, but things don't quite happen that way. Instead, the post that held the clothes line is dragging behind the vehicle, whipping from side to side like a deadly dragon's tail, knocking out swingsets and petulia's like a wrecking ball for teenage rebels.
At least nothing is on fire yet. Maybe that's not a good thought to come across in this sort of accumulating situation.
Marty kicks harder at the man in the back seat, and his heel connects with the man's jaw. Then the vehicle flies through a hedge, leaving the outline of a vehicle behind it. The driver bumps the steering wheel during this, and the car careens sharply back toward the road. They crash through something heavy and explosive and then feel pavement beneath the wheels once more.
Perhaps it was a set of trash cans they had just smashed through. But it could most likely have been Spot's House or Little Billy's Lemonade Stand. Perhaps there will be evidence left on the front of the vehicle. Of wood, not of Spot. And of lemonade obviously, not Billy. Billy would not be manning the stand by this time of the afternoon. He'd be having a smoke and coffee break down by the sprinkler.
Marty feels a sickening tug as the driver wheels hard to line up with the road while finding the brakes for a moment. A few horns whistle by and there is the sound of crunching glass. And then another vehicle slams into theirs, Marty is flung straight out of the open door, and the vehicle is thrown clear off the road.
Marty rolls painfully onto the sidewalk, taking the curb like a jump, and he is just aware enough to see the black car go flying clear through a pay phone. A pay phone on the corner of Park Lane and Sunny Drive.
"Shit!" cries Marty, jumping to his feet. He is hardly aware of the hoards of angry residents who now stand among the rubble of grass and mud, amidst the mass murder of lawn ornaments and the spray of lemonade. Marty is bleeding from a road burn down his side, and the black vehicle is totaled. Everyone looks to Marty for some sort of an explanation, but he is far too caught up in his very own scene of drama.
"The pay phone!" cries Marty. "Shit! I needed to take a call!"

I would like to know what are the preconditions for autologous fat transfers given that I am very fit and lean. 51 YO Transgender person seeking restoration procedure for superior suclus deformity. My questions lies in the volume of body fat required to perform this procedure. Thanks.

Fat grafting of upper eyelid
Not a lot of fat is needed for grafting of this area. Fat may be harvested from the abdomen, thighs, buttocks and even upper arms. This aspirate is purified and the fat is grafted.
Orbital fat loss with hollow sunken eyelids
Your best option may be filler injection to treat upper eyelid hollowness, if you are lean person. Fillers actually are more predictable than fat and do last about 2 years in the eyelid area. See following link and video.
Web reference: http://tabanmd.com/eyelid-filler-injection-specialist/
Orbital volume fat loss?
I would suggest you use a filler such as Juvéderm rather than fat. The good news about fat is that it is permanent the bad news about fat is it is permanent. Very difficult to remove and that is why I suggest a filler which can be reversed if it is overfilled.

Orbital fat loss fat grafting desired.
Hi and thanks for your question. The amount of fat which is required to correct the superior orbital sulcus deformity is normally 1 to 2 mL of fat per side. I would recommend that you see a very experienced board-certified plastic surgeon who has expertise in facial rejuvenation. That is my best advice after 30+ years experience in facial plastic surgery. Best of luck.

Fat grafting to the upper lid
Thank you for your question. Even very lean patients almost universally will have enough fat for filling eyelids. The superior sulcus can be filled with 1-3 cc depending on the degree of hollowing. a t-spoon is 5cc, so you can imagine that you probably have this along your abdomen, lower back, hips or thighs. Modern fat grafting techniques have advanced considerably allowing for less "overfill". All the best!

Fat grafting for restoration of facial volume - eyes
Fat grafting is a great modality we have to offer especially when it comes to restoring fat to deflated or deficient areas. It is a natural alternative to hyaluronic acid fillers. Around the orbit, micro cannulas are used to apply small aliquots of fat where needed. The superior sulcus, or the area just under the upper bony rim of the eye socket, can be a difficult region to treat because of safety concerns. While only a small volume is generally needed (this would have to be determined by physical exam), it is a delicate operation with many structures at risk such as the globe and nerves that run along the orbital rim. Even on very lean persons, more than enough fat can be harvested to treat the eyes. Remember though, weight gain may make your eyes appear puffy since the fat that is grafted may also increase there! Make sure you find a highly qualified, board certified Plastic Surgeon or equivalent to evaluate you!

Putting Together the Pieces of the Puzzle
"Liz and I were thirteen when her family kind of broke up. Jon was fifteen. He said that their dad, Adam, had been cheating on their mother. And he said he just 'knew'. At first none of us believed him, thinking it was all just a false statement especially since he never got along with his father. Their dad was always away from home on business meets; never really around to see Jon or Liz grow up which angered Jon. He never really liked his dad especially because he treated Sarah very badly.
"But Sarah always ended up forgiving him but when Jon said that his dad was cheating on her, she wasn't sure who to believe. Jon always wanted what was best for the family; even if that meant disowning his dad. But he claimed that his dad was cheating on his mother with some business women who was already married. When mom asked him how he knew this, he kept saying how he heard dad talking to her on the phone in more ways then just appropriate for doing business. He also snooped his dad's email and said that there were a few where they talked about meeting up, outside of a conference room.
"When their dad said that Jon was lying and left it up to Sarah to decide whether he wanted him to be part of the family or not, she really had a hard time. In the end, his dad left saying 'he didn't belong' and they divorced. Liz blamed Jon. Jon blamed his dad. His dad blamed Sarah and Sarah blamed herself. In the end, Jon ended up going to boarding school since Liz didn't even want to see him anymore.
"Through it all, my mom was being supportive towards Sarah. And I was forced to stick with Liz. She didn't even let me talk to Jon or hang out with him anymore. And so, he decided to go to boarding school because of everything that had happened."
I took a deep breath, looking into Roy's eyes as he took it all in slowly.
"And yesterday was the first time I saw Jon after five years..."
I waited for Roy's reaction but his face was calm. For a moment, I thought he was back to his old self of hiding his feelings to me but I guessed he was just processing. I didn't want to say my conclusion; why I'd reacted so badly to this to him. I wanted Roy to see where I was going with this himself. And he did.
His face, a mask of unseen emotion, whispered, "And you and the others think I'm the son of the woman Liz's dad had an affair with."
I nodded, hesitating. Since I couldn't see past the façade, it was hard for me to know what to do. Instead, Roy launched into his own story.
"Leah and I had gone to Georgia to meet old family friends; these friends turned out to be Liz and her mother. Liz and I both didn't know why we were there until her mother and Leah broke to us the news of me being Sarah's godson. Apparently, my mother had decided that my godfather should be Adam for the reason that they were 'close friends'. And remember the trip where Marissa and Leah had left and gone for two weeks? Well they'd apparently gone to visit my dad to ask if he'd take me in…as a son. But he didn't want to. And so, Leah wants me to be part of Sarah's family."
Now I was the one, taking everything in slowly. What he said fit in perfectly well with the story. And maybe that's why Liz no longer was angry at Jon. Because now she knew he was right about things.
"Well I'm beat," Roy said. He pulled me onto the bed next to him after turning off the lights using a switch to side of his bed. His hands went around my waist once we were under the covers. Resting my head on his chest, sleep overtook me at once. I guess though I had more reason to stay awake during the night and think of everything that had happened, my body disagreed with me.
With Roy's arms around me, I fell asleep at once. Maybe, when I wake up tomorrow morning; things would be back to normal.

for some reason, this winter our house seems to be very dry. we have a whole house humidifier (mounted to furnace) which is set at approximately 40% - 45% R.H. the water is on, and flows through the screen/filter pad (new pad), the fan in the humidifier runs fine. everything seems to be working correctly, but we still are getting zapped with static electricity a lot and it basically feels dry. we don't have a humidity gauge of any kind, but i'm going to get one just so we can actually check our settings.
just wondering if anyone has any ideas as to what else i could check, or what could be wrong, before i call our HVAC guy. i'm puzzled
if it helps at all the furnace is a Carrier "weathermaker SX" gas forced air furnace with a model 49FH (possibly carrier also, but nothing on the case or owner's manual) age unknown.
