One Liners: a collection of sentences with no real purpose
Ok, the idea of this story is for everyone to pitch in with random, clever, funny, or just interesting one- liners that have no real place elsewhere and would be forgotten without this. So, I'll start with two:
Okinawa- it probably broke American resolve just enough for the droping of two social delinquents by one very happy metal tube and one total square.
Remember my name, remember my face- whether you like it or not, I'm going places (I am not incredibly stuck up, this just came to me one day and reflects very little about me as a person).

Most listings are in the $0's per square foot per year. The Northwood submarket is going through a decrease in rates. In the last 3 months, the median rate decreased $36 per sqft per year. That's a 100% decline in rent.
In the last 90 days, 5 listings have come on the market, which means leases most likley are going fast. You'll want to be prepared to make an offer immediately. There aren't many listings below 2,000 square feet posted, so finding a space for a small business might be tough.
The standard measurement for office space in this area is around sqft. Most buildings in this region are approximately 2 floors. Most buildings in this region were built in 2007 and are Class A.
Not much of the real estate is used for commercial space, so it might be hard to find office space. Arts, entertainment, and restaurants are the dominant industries in this area. Commute by motorcycle is the most popular way to get to work amongst Northwood occupants. Commuting approximately an hour a day is the norm for those who opt to reside in this part of town.

Case Conclusion Date: 07.31.2007
Practice Area: Copyright infringement
Outcome: Judgment for statutory damage and attys fees
Description: From PDNOnline: Robert Burch is hardly the only photographer to find his work being copied online, but his recent victory in a lawsuit proves photographers have some recourse when it happens A federal judge recently awarded Burch a $63,866 judgment against a New York City travel agency, finding that the site used four of Burch's photographs on its Web site without permission. . . . In the U.S., Burch decided to pursue one of the most blatant infringers. According to the lawsuit, Burch discovered four of his photographs on the Black Star Travel Web site. Burch hadn't licensed them to this travel agency. He contacted Nyarko to try to solicit a fee for use of the images, but Nyarko refused. Burch tried to send in a bill, but Nyarko ignored it and the photos remained online. Eventually, the photos disappeared when the Black Star Travel site went offline; it was replaced by a redesigned site. Burch had registered the photos with the copyright office years earlier. . . . The judge, after considering the values awarded in other cases involving photographs, awarded Burch $15,000 per photograph in damages, plus $3,280 in fees and $586 in costs. Burch hopes other infringers will hear about his lawsuit and be convinced to stop ripping off his work. One other travel agent who was using his photos has already been in touch to work out a deal, he says. "I'd much rather have them as my friends," Burch says. http://www.pdn-pix.com/pdn/newswire/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1003613955

Here We Go Again
We decide to set a place for a picnic for us to meet our Pokémon and for them to sort of get along. Seeing how the battle with Piplup and Shinx was going on when we met it seems that the odds are not in our favor. I do hope that there won't be any fights because I would really hate to leave my brother because our pokemon disagree every second.
"Come on out guys" I yell as I throw my pokeballs into the air. "Shinx," "Turtwing" they both say. "Your awesome" I say while I hug them, they both look like they are well behaved Pokémon.
I am amazed and surprised that I got both of the Pokémon from the professor. I doubt that it happens very often. "What shall I nickname you two?" What disturbs my train of thought is the sound of bubble popping.
I turn around and see my brother running away from Piplup who is using bubble beam at him and yells "Kira, help me."
I smile and say "let me enjoy this scene for a bit more." He yells lounder "Please," I smile harder and take out my pokedex and find out that both my pokemon are males and piplup is a female. Well that's rare Piplup are mostly male pokemons like Turtwig, I guess either my brother is lucky to have a female piplup or is just unlucky. I also notice the pokemon moves that they have.
Turtwigs moves are:
Tackle, Absorb and Razor leaf.
Shinx moves are:
Leer, Tackle and Charge.
And Piplups moves are:
Bubble, Bubblebeam, Pound, and Peck.
Its seems that each moment on my pokemon journey turns more interesting.
I quickly find nicknames for my pokemon. Shinx will be known as Charge, and Turtwig will be known as Leaf. Yeah! Those sound like cool names.
"Leaf use Razor leaf at the bubbles" I scream and the bubbles dissolve. "Thanks" my brother sais. Then Piplup turns red like a cheri berry. She is about to use peck but then my brother sais "Piplup return" it seems to work but then Piplup gets out of the pokeball and starts pecking my brother.
Oh dear I think there matchup trainer and Pokémon will be interesting, "Help," he sais "it's more hurtful than bubblebeam." Really I wonder why?
Although I enjoy seeing my twin brother struggle I am the only one allowed to hurt him.
Oh dear here we go again.

Is the Bible Fact or Fiction?: An Introduction to Biblical Historiography
€ 16,99
Besorgung - Lieferbarkeit unbestimmt
Juni 2004
BeschreibungEven considering such questions alerts the modern reader to the limitations of ancient history, as well as to the great distance of time, culture, and language, between the biblical writer and the current reader. IS THE BIBLE FACT OR FICTION? invites the reader to look at the "historical books" of the Bible, not from the standpoint of what actually happened, but to understand the type of history the biblical authors were actually writing. Organ wrote this book out of frustration with uncritical reading of various genres of biblical texts. She felt that the "historical books"--such as Acts of the Apostles and the Old Testament chapters of Maccabees, and Joshua though Kings--are most susceptible of being read in a naive and literal way. Most readers fail to take into account modern expectations of historical accuracy vs. the preconceptions of the ancient writers. Her book focuses on the style, creativity, and individuality of the biblical writers/historians and the richness of their work and examines their accounts through the lens of modern scholarship.

PUNKY MEADOWS at the World Famous Whisky A Go-Go in Hollywood, CA on March 10, 2017
By Jo-Jo Anthony
From the opening chords of "Rock N' Rollers" from the first ANGEL album, Punky Meadows and his band delivered a sixteen song set that was everything a fan could ask for. Performing songs from his new studio album "Fallen Angel" and a handful of ANGEL classics, Meadows rocked the Whisky in front of a very enthusiastic and devoted crowd.
Just to bring readers up to date, Punky was the lead guitarist for the seventies rock band ANGEL. The band originally hailed from Washington D.C. and they were signed to Casablanca Records in 1975 where they were label mates of Kiss. ANGEL recorded five studio albums and a live album which captured exactly why they were one of the best performing acts of the day.
After more than thirty five years since ANGEL disbanded, Meadows teamed up with guitarist Danny Farrow to compose and record his debut solo album "Fallen Angel" now available on Main Man Records. The Whisky performance was the first time since 1980 that Meadows had performed in the Los Angeles area. He and his band definitely came to play.
The set was a collection of both new and old material. The band did a great job at promoting the new album as well as giving the ANGEL fans at least one selection from every ANGEL album. Standouts were "The Price You Pay," "Loaded Gun" and the latest single and video "Straight Shooter." My personal favorite performance of the evening was the song "Leavin' Tonight" which featured a lead vocal from Farrow and some amazing guitar work from Meadows. A rockin' ballad which displayed Meadows talents as a guitarist who has the chops but also the passion in his playing. For this writer, it was the highlight of the show and it reminded me of why I became a fan of Punky and ANGEL when I was in my teens.
For the ANGEL fans in the house, Meadows performed "Feelin' Right," "Can You Feel It," "Don't Leave Me Lonely" and "Wild and Hot" while their encore was "The Tower." Lead vocalist, Chandler Mogel did a fantastic job on Meadows solo material as well as the ANGEL songs. The band was definitely compromised of seasoned musicians and there was a great vibe both on the stage and in the audience.
As a fan that was fortunate to see ANGEL more than a handful of times back in the 70's, Punky Meadows and his band did not disappoint. It was definitely worth the thirty five year wait. I highly recommend the new album "Fallen Angel" and if the band comes to your town, be there and experience a bit of Rock N' Roll history. They are definitely one Helluva band and they put on a Helluva show!
Chandler Mogel - Vocals, Punky Meadows - Lead Guitar, Danny Farrow Anniello - Rhythm Guitar, Keith Roth – Bass, Bobby Pantella – Drums, Charlie Calv – Keyboards, Amy Anderson – Backing Vocals and Barbara Serbes – Backing Vocals.

I'm often more curious than outspoken. I'm opinionated but try not push them on others. Im pretty terrible at describing myself.
In terms of specific movies, Synechdoche New York, Big Trouble in Little China, Toxic Avenger, otherwise, pretty much any film.
With books, I'm a fan similar ideas, any sort of communalist critique on social order, maybe some strong character development, or just something pulpy.
Music: Techno and House are where I spend most of my listening time. Occasionally sifting into Darkwave, Punk, Metal, 80s, whatever.

Learn About Just How To Get Started On A Diet And Get StartedWhenever a person initially begins a diet plan, they'll often go all in and stick to bland ingredients that fit with the diet plan so that they consume less food. Sadly, it is scarcely lasting because an individual will need to consume food items they actually enjoy eating and are going to often surrender the dietary plan in the pursuit of something tasty to have once again. Exactly what somebody ought to do is actually locate a recipe book which offers the tested recipes they might like to eat, but that adheres to foods which might be alright to enjoy on the diet.
A person should not be required to take in ingredients they don't love if they're on a diet plan. Rather, they should really be in the position to look over a recipe book and also uncover delightful, simple to prepare dishes which will match their own diet program. Most recipe books, however, don't incorporate a wide variety of quality recipes intended to focus on every person's likes. Alternatively, they either have straightforward but dull recipes or they provide remarkable recipes that may take a long time as well as plenty of funds to cook. By simply discovering the best recipe book, a person may have a less complicated time staying on a diet and thus be more likely to shed the pounds.
In case you might be considering starting the Paleo diet, you might need to look for a diet soup recipe first. This particular recipe book provides a variety of Paleo Grubs recipes and the review might allow you to decide if it is the suitable recipe book for your requirements or in the event you really should search for something a little different.

That could be bent front frame damage.
Not necessarily. The airbox is jammed into the engine cover, but the impact was to the headlight, which moved the airbox. It looks too high for frame damage, but what constitutes the frame on these cars, anyway ?
Its pointless speculation since its in the body shop now. The left front wheel looks like its still in the correct place.
Its a go on fixing it. Had to stop by the body shop because they had a question about the bumper they ordered for it. The V bumper :highfive:
Lucky dog.......
I have to buy the bottom grille because they were planning on reusing the one thats on there til the difference showed up. Im keeping the sports grille for the upper because i like the look and found out it will fit. Thought i might have to look for another one but it was not damaged. They are even going to replace the fender liners because the regular cts liners will not match up with the V bumper properly. Nor will the fogs but they already re-ordered a new set for it. I requested the clear set up like i had and it was cheaper then factory fogs with out the side markers. Think i want to change the wheels to a different style now. Car makeover time.
Paint the thumb nail red
non-symmetric wheels are non-symmetric
Those are some cool looking wheels! I think they would be a biotch to balance and would break easily though!
that unsymmetrical wheel is ugly as sin.
Who has such a grill? Where it can be bought?
Attachment 83710
it is called a billet grille and you can find them on ebay or from some of the vendors on this site like US Speed and maybe a few others
Here you go Sandy http://www.wooddash.com/category/CADILLAC_Grilles_CTS
Its really a nice wheel when mounted on the right vehicle.
I have a friend in vegas that has a set on his porsche, never had a problem in two years with them. He drives far crazier then i ever would. For 7k they are warranted against such things as that, providing you survive the crash. :histeric:
Lol. If that's what you want, then I say go for it! You won't find those on any of my rides though :)

text: SUMMARIES AND CRITIQUES Sometimes it's difficult to tell the difference between a summary and a critique. What do you think is the difference between a summary and a critique? Today's Writing Assignment You will be assigned to writing a summary and a critique for The Outsiders. So, take good notes, for you can use them to do today's assignment (how did you like my FANBOYS usage? ) Summaries A summary does… Begin with a topic sentence, telling the reader what they are about to read A summary does not… judge or evaluate what you read. – no opinions! restate what you read/saw in your own words. maintain a neutral and objective stance. use irrelevant or unnecessary details. We first meet our narrator, fourteen-year-old Ponyboy, as he's walking home from the movies – alone, which is something we know he's not supposed to be doing. Ponyboy lives in a dangerous area. His East Side neighborhood is patrolled by bullying Socials, rich kids from the West Side of town. Pony's a Greaser and defenseless Greasers are the Socials' favorite targets. Sure enough, Ponyboy is attacked by a carload of Socials when he's in a vacant lot, just minutes from his home. Luckily his older brothers – Darry and Sodapop – and the rest of his gang – Steve, TwoBit, Johnny, and Dallas – come to his rescue and chase away the Socials. We learn that Ponyboy and his brothers lost their parents recently in a car accident. Summary Critiques A critique does… A critique does not… Begin with a topic sentence, telling restate what you read—it is not a the reader what they are about to read summary! Assess or analyze what you read/saw. offer interpretations, opinions, and judgments about what you read/saw. give evidence, from the text or media, to support your evaluation. repeat unimportant or irrelevant details. have an overly biased tone or style. use slang or overly casual language. Parents need to know that this story of peer pressure, rebellion, and identity centers on two rival groups of teens, the lower-class "outsider" Greasers and the more well-heeled, popular Socs (short for Socials). It includes fighting, underage drinking, delinquent behavior, a rumble, a fatal stabbing, and a suicide. But the indelible characters and compelling story have consistently hooked middle school kids, teens, and reluctant readers since The Outsiders was first published in 1967. This book appeals to preteens (many read it in sixth grade) because that's the time when kids break into social cliques and life becomes tribal. The feelings of being ostracized are timeless -- which is why this book is still so relevant more than 40 years after its original publication. Kids may also want to check out Francis Ford Coppola's 1983 film version. Critique Both should… be written using the present tense (he remembers, she points out, the essay has). include the title of the piece you're writing about and the author's name. begin with a topic sentence, telling the reader what they are about to read • • • Example Topic Sentences Summary = The Outsiders, by SE Hinton, is a story about the three Curtis boys that find family with a town gang called the Greasers. The novel begins… Critique = The Outsiders,by SE Hinton, is an entertaining novel that grabs the attention of it's readers in the exposition with a wonderfully exciting scene. The visual and sound effects were done well considering…. after the initial introduction of the author, you should refer to him or her by last name only. be proofread before the final draft. Fashion Police In a summary, The fashion police would just describe what they see people wearing. They would not say whether or not they liked the outfit. Fashion Police In a critique, The fashion police would pick a part of the outfit they didn't like and explain why they didn't like it. Then, they might tell a part of the outfit that they liked and explain why. They would end with a final judgment or rating of the outfit. They would not describe the whole outfit first! Now it's your tur n… You will be assigned to writing a summary or a critique for The Outsiders. In your writing, be sure to use correct grammar, spelling, caps, and punctuation. You must also use a topic sentence that shows if the paragraph will be a summary or a critique. Use your notes! You have 15 minutes! If you finish early, go back and proofread your writing and make any necessary corrections. EXIT TICKET Read your shoulder partner's writing. Then, decide if the piece is a summary or a critique. After deciding, explain why you believe the piece of writing is a summary or a critique. Cite evidence from their paper to prove your answer!

MHS boys open tough second half with Scots
The Manhattan High boys' basketball team is getting used to playing on the road, and coach Tim Brooks said the Indians need to as they continue to navigate a tough stretch of upcoming games.
The Indians open the second half of the season Thursday with a game at Highland Park, beginning a stretch of seven of the final 10 games on the road — before staying on the road for sub-state.
Starting Feb. 3, the Indians will have a stretch of five games in two weeks.
"I think that the stretch in February is just going to be rough," Brooks said. "Here coming up we have two weeks with five games, and it's going to be taxing and tough."
Before the Indians get to that game, they will hit their fourth straight road contest with a game against the Scots Thursday.
Brooks said he thinks with the exception of the first game of the Dodge City Tournament of Champions, the second and third round games were well played and he hopes that kind of play can continue into this week.
"Outside of the Hutch game, I think we played well on the road, so maybe we can take something from that," he said. "It's a huge challenge ahead of us, and really we only have three more home games, so we got to get used to being good on the road."
Highland Park enters into the contest at 8-4, with two wins and a loss in the recent Topeka Invitational, where the Scots lost in the first round to Wichita Sunrise Christian Academy — a team that defeated Manhattan the first week of the season.
Manhattan is 5-5 now, and last year's squad defeated Highland Park for the first time in more than two decades.
Brooks said this Highland Park team is a little different than the one his team beat last season.
"I think they shoot it better than they did a year ago, and I think last year we caught them at a good time and our length and zone caused them trouble," he said. "This year I don't know if that will be the case. We have to find a way to slow them down and take care of the basketball."
The Indians used heavy man-to-man defensive pressure to cause teams trouble at TOC, but Brooks said that might not be to their advantage at Highland Park.
"We cant go out and pressure every team and I don't think Highland Park is a team we want to go out and pressure," he said. "First and foremost, we have to take care of the basketball or it will be a long night."
The Indians will have a break from the court Tuesday before returning back to action against Topeka West next Friday for homecoming.

1: I completely understand and realize that your overarching point of view before and after the draft is that -
Great, Shero builds a tremendous pipeline. That has major value for a lot of reasons.
. In a vacuum, I can only agree with this.
2: One of those reasons you have pointed to many, many times is that these highly valued D-men prospects can be moved for other assets
if needed
. Like many others here, you have been pointing to our recent experiences moving puck moving D-men as primary examples. Not just in this thread.
3: I point out that those we moved for great returns were not prospects and had already made it to the NHL, playing big minutes, providing lots of offense and succeeded on a big team.
Nevermind that I find guys like Despres, Morrow etc. to look like ultimately better NHL talents than Whitney and Goligoski, down the line, I don't think this means more or comparable trade value before they show that they can succeed in the NHL. I have therefore asked you to give some examples to this presumed trade value of prospect D-men to justify frequently telling me that my reservations are wrong.
You were given an example of a blueliner taken with a mid first round pick just a year beforehand, bringing back the best fwd prospect in the world. A trade you were aware of, but tried in every way to downplay.
....and your list of unproven blueliners was
player, a player I had already mentioned myself, who got St.Louis an asset you yourself said fell solely due to the Russian factor.
I think that is a very weak reply on your part, and I think it very dodgy to point to a draft pick yet to be realized as an example of great trade value.
Then you mentioned Voinov because his presence liberated LA to trade Johnson, but that of course says nothing about Voinov's TRADE VALUE prior to proving himself, which is what I have very explicitly been inquiring about. It said a lot about trade value of NHL proven young puck movers though, as Jack Johnson was the principal piece in getting Carter despite having been atrocious defensively pretty much throughout his NHL career.
Again, you have a great example of how a young blueliner with no NHL experience can be traded for exactly what you want, but you continue to type with one hand over your eye.
Your agenda is crystal clear... Sadly.
Non sequitor much? When did I talk of roster problems at all? There is no relation between what you quoted from me and any of the above.
You are the one who is so concerned about how difficult it will be for all of these blueliners to make this team, hence your "worries" about their trade value not being maximized.
Not me.
A point on which I have agreed entirely in principle, yet added that with the depth of blueliners already on the team, it is obvious that our recent and very capable D-prospects will be kept down longer than if they'd been forwards where our pipeline and internal competition is no way near as hard.
I am sure we could choose to agree with each other on both these points in isolation.
And there we have it...
You continue to operate under the assumption competition is a bad thing, every prospect will pan out and that Shero won't max out the trade value of these blueliners when the time comes.
Yet somehow you want to claim we agree in any manner...
He could back you on wanting Whitney, which is something we could go back and find was vocally shared by me, Champagne Wishes and no doubt many, many others.
If you insist.
July 1st 2010:
Once again you skip over context when it suits you, which is ironic given your propensity to be a finger jockey.
You stated I was agt signing Martin because I claimed the Pens had a top 3 D in the league, yet I still don't see that quote anywhere.
I wanted the Pens to sign Michalek and Whitney. I wanted the balance both brought to the team and had just watched Michalek have a phenomenal series agt Det. When rumors of the Pens signing Martin were flying, I was agt it. It was overkill in my mind.
After he signed, reading what Cole said about having a great top four now, convinced me Shero made the right moves. When I looked over their blueline and got over missing out on Whitney, I agreed with Cole and thought the Pens had a top three blueline.
Ironically, I'm one of the few Martin supporters left, even though I initially didn't want Shero to sign him.
However as disapointed as most of us are in this season's performance, this blueline played extremely well last season and Shero was lauded as a genius. The depth of his blueline also allowed Shero to move GoGo for Neal as well.
Again, context is a refreshing thing.
...and so we come to one of those where one can just say
mea culpa
. I didn't remember it as St.Louis trading to take him on draft day. So, my mistake.
I will repeat though, that the value for Rundblad here as a trade asset, I find it unreasonable to see this as viable example.
The value depended on what St.Louis did with that pick and how that prospect would later develop, and thus isn't a fair indication on Rundblad's market value. Rundblad was a 17th overall pick who had developed well since his draft and was traded for a 16th overall pick a year later.
St.Louis made out like bandits because they picked right/gambled on the high profile Russian who is now coming over.
You are backtracking to suit your purposes. Please...
It's funny how you were agreeable to the value of the trade when you didn't believe it happened moments before the pick took place.
And you preach about debating honestly...
Again, you are going out of your way to discount this trade and it is transparent why.
When we traded for Hossa, the 1st rounder (29) involved became Daultan Leveille who is most likely a complete bust - ie. that 1st round pick was as worthless as Angelo Esposito, but only because of who was picked. Seeing that Markström went 31st and Voinov 32nd for instance. So many say that Hossa came really cheap, and in the greater scheme of things he sure did. But the value of a pick is entirely relative to where that pick ends up, and who you end up choosing.
Kessel ultimately yielded Boston Seguin, Jared Knight and Dougie Hamilton. Who really thinks that reflects Kessel's asset value?
This is more posturing and filler to make a muddled point...
Rundblad was traded with Ott still on the board. Murray wanted him more than Tarasenko. Just man up and admit that much... My God.
You look very petty here.
Many of us were not. Ultimately this was a consequence of having collected numerous assets competing for similar positions and being forced by sheer numbers to deal an asset while his value was low. Considering Letestu's 2010/2011 season and capacity to deliver secondary scoring at a bargain cap-hit, a 4th rounder was not a particularly great return, but it obviously beats getting nothing at all for Nick Johnson.
Those who thought Shero for getting a 4th was genius are the same people who are OK with ditching most any player going through a difficult patch, never mind their asset value.
This is semantics, but the general consensus was, in my mind and all I had read before and after the trade, that people were thrilled to get a 4th.
Letestu also didn't get traded because of too much competition, he simply made himself expendable with his poor play. I didn't want him to be moved, but I admitted then as I do now he cashed his own ticket out of town.
As for Johnson, you are preaching to the choir.
I still don't see the relevance of Letestu to the Pens blueline pipe.

Following another game in which the New England Patriots nearly squandered a lead in the fourth quarter, Tom Brady finds himself wondering if the expectations among Patriots fans may be too high. Considering they entered the season with one of the easier schedules in the league, it is surprising that the Patriots needed a win over the Jets to crawl over .500. When asked about his team's inability to close out games during an interview with WEEI on Monday, Brady gave the following response. "I wish it were that easy," the three-time Super Bowl champion said. "And maybe there were times when it has looked that easy. But I think you appreciate it when it does work. And you realize the preparation that you put into it, that it pays off. Maybe we've just spoiled some people in the meantime. Because it's hard to win, man. It's really hard to win." Brady makes a valid point. A win is a win, especially in the NFL. Any Andrew Luck can beat any Aaron Rodgers on any Sunday. However, the expectations in New England coming off another disappointing Super Bowl loss are obviously higher than your average place. The Patriots rarely ever lose at home, so their fans have come to expect easy wins. Is that spoiled or simply knowing your team's potential? It would be one thing if the Patriots were just an average team, but they've lost three games by a total of four points. They led in the fourth quarter of all three games. You could make the argument that New England outplayed its opponents for three-plus quarters in each of its three losses. The blown leads demonstrate a lack of toughness and are the biggest source of fan frustration. Perhaps the fans and media are spoiled by the Patriots' success over the past decade, but that doesn't excuse their inability to close out their opponents. Photo credit: David Butler II-US PRESSWIRE

Top Breast Augmentation Surgeon in Miami
A chest enhancement is a procedure that surgically alters the shape and size of your breasts. It is also known as "boob job" in common terms. Implants are available in all shapes and sizes to help women achieve fuller and natural looking breasts post surgery.
However, it is very much essential to find a good surgeon, who is skilled in cosmetic surgeries, particularly in breast procedures. A skilled cosmetic doctor will not only ensure that you get perfect results, but also help you choose the right size and shape to best suit your frame. Since, there are many new technologies introduced to make the procedure easy and quick, an experienced and expert surgeon will always keep him or herself their clinic updated.
Below are some tips and steps on how to pick the best plastic surgeon in Miami, Florida. These tips should help you make an informed decision and find a qualified breast enhancement surgeon.
1. Check Credentials
Credentials should be the first and foremost thing to look for in a surgeon. He should hold an NHS consultant, and must have FRCS qualifications to qualify as a cosmetic surgeon. Above all, the surgeon you are considering must also be listed for plastic surgery on General Medical Council's specialist. You must not hesitate to ask for their certificates. In fact, most reputed surgeons will have their certifications displayed on the clinic reception or in their office so their patients can know about their credentials without asking.
2. Pick A Cosmetic Surgeon That Specializes In Breast Procedures
Of course, you don't want any eye specialist or nose job specialist to try out their hands on your boob job, especially when they don't have any prior experience in this department. Different cosmetic surgeons specialize in different body part and you must find the one that has been dealing with breast enhancement procedures for more than five years, at least. Breast implants come in many shapes and sizes, and also require a surgeon to try out various insertion techniques. Thus, only an experienced and specialized surgeon will be able to suggest you right implants and incision method that is best suitable for your body type.
3. Membership To Any Professional Organization
This is the next step to figure out whether you are choosing to go with the right plastic surgeon or not. Ask your doctor if he is a member of any professional organizations such as BAPRAS or BAAPA. Almost all reputed plastic surgeons will be members of at least one or two professional societies that help them stay updated about latest procedures, innovations and inventions in their field. These highly regarded societies only permit skilled and experienced surgeon to get entry.
4. Get Consultation With The Surgeon Who Will Be Actually Treating You
In most clinics, "advisers" or "counselors" are the first people to see patients and follow up with their treatment schedules. These people are only able to provide patients with general advice. When you decide to take a big step that concerns your health, it is advised to seek consultation form the surgeon who will be taking your case. Make sure you ask for actual surgeon who will be doing the surgery. This will help you gain more confidence and take informed decision.
5. Be Comfortable With Your Decision
Make sure you feel relaxed when dealing with your surgeon. You should be able to build a good rapport with your surgeon, so you are able to ask any question that might be bugging you regarding the procedure or post-surgery care. Your surgeon will address your questions before the surgery and also help you feel at ease at the end of the consultation. Discuss all potential treatment options and explore the physiological, as well as psychological aspects of having breast implants.
Follow these steps and select an experienced surgeon. Make sure that the practitioner you have chosen is well versed with breast implants, so to help you make a better choice as this is something that is going to stay with you for the rest of your life. In the end, ask as many questions as you want to during the consultation, so you are not left with any doubts, thereafter.
How To Tell When You Need A Breast Enlargement?
An enhancement refers to the use of breast implants or fat to generally increase the size of the breast or restore your breast's volume especially after pregnancy or weight loss. Clinically, the process is referred to as a mammaplasty. The process can be because of increasing the projection and fullness of the breasts, improving the figure of your balance and enhancing your self image for purposes of self-confidence. There are different reasons why people decide to increase their bust size. Here is how you can tell if you need one:
Sometimes breasts can be too small to be seen when wearing clothes. Having visible breasts is part of being a female and most women are interested in having an average to big size. If you think that your breasts are too small and would want to have larger boobs, then, you should make a point of getting implants. The procedure will end up giving a better appearance and boosting your confidence.
Swimsuit Body
Most swimsuits are constructed with the perspective that the wearer will have an average breast size. If you interested in wearing swimsuits and getting that perfect body fit, then a larger cup may be for you.
Body Balance
In most cases, some women have hips that are larger than the bust line. This look gives the individual a rather odd shape. Sometimes women opt to enhance their bust in order to balance this shape and get a perfect body where the hips match with the bust line.
Less Firm Breasts
In most cases, when you have had children, your breasts might appear or feel to be less firm and this will give you a problem when wearing cleavage revealing clothes or give you a low self confidence about your body.
Weight Loss
After losing weight, it is highly possible that your breasts will look smaller and will need to be filled out to restore their firmness and their size.
Due to surgical procedures or natural occurrence, you might have a breast that is larger than the other and this might warrant the need to get a revision procedure performed on them. The aim of this process is to ring about a balance in size and give you a perfect pair that will look good especially when you dress up.

text: Earlier this year the Bangor Y announced it would be moving from its Hammond Street site and improving its Second Street campus.Phase one included more parking and some cosmetic changes inside.So far, members and staff are happy with the makeover."I can't imagine what I would do if the Y were not here."Gwethalyn Phillips has been a member at the Bangor Y since 2003 when her doctor told her she needed to drop her weight and cholesterol."I did lose the weight and I did meet lots of people that were wonderful and supportive and helpful and I've been doing this seven years now and feel healthier and better than I've ever felt," said Phillips.In 2009 the Bangor Y had 10,000 members and two locations– one on Hammond Street, the other on Second Street which was a hassle for some members."Had to go to Hammond Street if you wanted to have a cardio workout and then come back over here if you wanted to pick up your child in childcare. If you wanted to swim after you had a workout you had to run between facilities which you know in the winter probably isn't the most pleasant experience," said Mike Seile, CEO of the Bangor Y.About a year ago the wheels were put in motion to consolidate the two Y sites into one on Second Street. With a snip of a ribbon on Wednesday Phase One of the project is complete. "You can swim and gym in the same location. You can drop your child off in babysitting and you can come and get a workout," said Becky Picard, assistant director of Health and Fitness at the Bangor Y. For members and employees, the change is exciting."It is going to make it so much more convenient and also so much more cost effective," said Phillips." It's a really great thing. Good things are happening at the Bangor Y," added Picard.Phase One cost $2.6-million.Phase Two, which will expand the Bangor Y and add a new basketball court and welcome center is expected to take 3 to 5 years to complete.The Hammond Street location will be put up for sale.

When's 'e gunna wake? He's already slept. I'm bored.

Fall (가을) is 우리 Kdrama Word for today. Korea is definitely a 4-season country, with chilly winters, monsoon summers, fall color, and spring blossoms. You may also see 가을 Romanized as gaeul, but kaeul is a better phonetic spelling. The vowel syllable is partly absorbed into the first syllable, so kah-eul sounds like one syllable with a dragged-out first vowel, rather than two distinct syllables.
Note that the Hangeul letters ㅡ and ㅜ have different U-sounds.
ㅡ is usually Romanized as "eu," but it is not, strictly speaking, an English-language sound, so it is difficult to Romanize accurately. The English words "eu" appears in are typically loan words from French. The "eu" is often pronounced "oo" in the English version (which is the sound of Hangeul letter ㅜ). Example: entrepreneur. The "eu" sound is formed just inside the lips, while "oo" comes from further back.
What's a loan word, you may ask? A loan word is a word borrowed from another language (and usually changed a bit along the way). English is full of French loan words and phrases. Some are obviously French, such as deja vu, faux pas, cachet, nouveau riche, hors d'oeuvre, fait accompli, coup d'etat, dossier, memoir, rapport and restaurant. Others are everday words we may not think of as French – mayonnaise, unique, ambulance, denim, pioneer, detour, corduroy, menu, dentist, portrait, route, soup, zest, bicycle, publicity, and salvage, to name just a few. Watch out for words in Korean that seem like loan words of English words that are themselves loan words from another language. Sometimes the Korean word is a loan word of the original word, not the English version.
Somewhere between 50-70% of Korean words are loan words from Chinese, due to a long history of military and economic domination from the west. For this reason, Chinese speakers may be able to understand a great deal of Korean without studying the language. Korean also has many English loan words, especially for technology (like 핸드폰), and other aspects of modern urban life (like 뉴스).
And then there are cognates. Cognates are similar-sounding words in related languages that come from the same root. For example, I am able to understand quite a lot of words in Spanish that I have never studied, because they sound similar to the English words. You have to watch out though, because cognates have sometimes evolved different meanings in different languages, even though they sound similar and came from the same parent word.
And finally, there is Konglish. These days, the term is generally used to describe Korean loan words from English. However, I have read that it originally referred to the clever use of Korean words that sounded like English words to convey a double meaning in English and Korean.

When you're called away by a matter more pressing than people.
When you turn to face the enemy
and it's just an empty room.
When the angels mourn your absence but you don't hear them.
Stuck in the middle of an ocean. Your friends cannot reach you;
your loved ones can't swim. The water is cold.
Cold and fast and deep.
In the midst of a roiling, raging storm.
The thunder swallows your cries. The lightning blinds you.
And the darkness feasts on your spirit.
though Sorrow will ferry you to distant shores.
You think on your life, ... or maybe you don't.
Both thought and blankness are treacherous.
Where is the light?
Where is the warmth that you've always sought? That warmth
like a soft,
And if you know you'll find a friend,
that's little consolation now.
So stars stay dull and birds don't fly. Clouds are grey
and angels cry.
When you are all alone.

Had a wonderful stay. I am a middle-aged woman traveling alone, so, I was concerned about staying in mixed dorm. Everyone in my room treated each other with kindness and respect ,and there is plenty of privacy with the curtains around the bunk and private toilet and shower with a door that locked. ...
I like the hostel in the heartland. I visited the Tesco and Morrisons supermart to buy my milk, pasries, fruits and drinking water. Very convenient location with easy access to buses and subway. The hostel is clean and safe. But you may meet not so clean backpackers who would make the room look like ...
Great location, reasonably priced but very basic. Room was very small and toilet was so cramped it was barely usable. Fine for one night stay though. Room clean and staff friendly.
The staff were really accommodating and helpful when I had an issue with the initial room I booked. The hotel is very convenient and in a great location and neighborhood. Every time I'm in London I stay here and would def recommend it to anyone.
Staff were pleasant and went out of their way to help car park is tiny charged £15 to save a space for our overnight stay but minimal problem would definitely stay again! Room was amazing bed super comfy thank you
The room was superbly comfortable and nicely heated. What's more, the hotel staff were extremely accommodating, going above and beyond to make me and my lady comfortable. I'd definitely come back.
Good experience. I liked the neighbourhood. However, it was not a 10 walk to the nearest Tube station, as stated on their website. It was, instead, about a seven minute bus ride or 15 minute walk.
room is small as expected in London,but it is clean,for budget hotel it is ok.
I stayed here with my daughter to catch an early flight from Heathrow the following morning. Excellent facilities for a budget hotel. Nearby restaurants, take-aways and Supermarket for supper - Hotel has a microwave oven for the use of guests. Staff friendly and welcoming; room was clean and comfortable. ...
Room was clean and comfortable. There was a coffee pot but no microwave or TV. Shower is very small. An option to pay for room service was available. Two short but narrow flights of stairs up to the room. Free WiFi was good in my room but apparently not in all rooms.

Hermione Granger tucked a stray lock of hair behind her ear in frustration. While waiting for the time to pass that early Friday morning she kept glancing in the mirror. Her appearance had only slightly changed over the past few years, but according to Ginny, everyone had noticed. Her hair now shined pleasantly, making the soft large curls of her hair look long and lustrous. While on vacation with her parent the past summer (after her 6th year) she had grown very tan, so much that her childish freckles now faded in with her new color. She was still her same five foot eight, but her stick figure had given way to some curves that made her seem more womanly, which was more than Hermione appreciated. Curves were alright if you were some one like Lavender, but since when did curves get you in A on an essay?
She scolded herself, shaking her head side to side. Her mind had gone straight to the gutter as it has been a lot lately. Her hormones kept getting the better of her and she had found herself, once every two weeks, pleasuring herself in the head girl's private bathroom.
That thought made her blush immensely making her glance away from the mirror yet again. She checked her watch and discovered it to be 7:30AM, a perfect time to have breakfast. Upon arriving in the common room, she began the wait for Harry and Ron to come down to the common room too. After a few minutes Hermione lost all patience and made her way up the boy's staircase to wake Harry up first. Opening the door only a small crack, she poked her head in and saw him fast asleep in just his boxers.
Looking around, she also noticed that all of the other 7th year boys had gone to breakfast already. So she set her bag down as quietly as possible and snuck into the room. Once she was finally at his bed she leapt up onto it and began jumping up and down, missing him by the smallest amounts each time, shouting, "WAKE UP SUNSHINE!"
Harry nearly fell out of bed in shock, but recovered quickly. He tackled Hermione to the bed and began tickling her until she squealed for mercy.
"Harry!" She gasped, "I have to wake Ron yet!"
He let her up and hopped off the bed.
Hermione had long since gotten over her shyness around seeing Harry in just boxers; after all he was like a brother to her and would never be anything more.
"Do me a favor and wake him up the same way you did me," he said as he put his arms through the sleeves of his uniform shirt.
"Will do," she smiled brightly. She turned around after picking up her bag and proceeded out of that room and up the stairs to the head boy's room. Ron's room.
Hermione took a deep breath and suppressed the flutter in her heart. Ron had changed quite a bit too. He now towered at six foot seven, dwarfing Harry's even six feet. He had also put more muscle on and was no longer as lanky as he had once been. Although Mrs. Weasley still claimed that he wasn't fat enough yet, even though he ate as much ten horses in one sitting, for every meal.
She had finally arrived at his bedroom door and realized that she was happy that she'd get to follow through with Harry's favor. She set her bag down outside the door and slowly tip-toed in with out glancing in the room. She was about to close the door behind her when she heard him whisper her name. Hermione whipped her head around so fast that her neck almost hurt.
Lying sprawled out on the bed with the drapes wide open, was Ron Weasley absolutely starkers and with his left hand wrapped around his "wand". He still hadn't seen her there because his eyes were squeezed shut. His lips were trembling and he heard her name pass through his lips a few more times. Had he really said her name! And that look of pleasure on his face was unbelievable. Realizing that she was watching a very private moment she quietly left and met Harry back downstairs. All the way down she couldn't get the thought of his sweaty body out of her mind.
Harry was smirking at her, no doubt because she had a stupid grin on her face.
"Where's Ron?"
"I think he's going to be a little late today," Hermione said with the same stupid grin. Today things are going to change. I am raising the stakes.
Harry and Hermione walked all the way to the great hall in silence. When they arrived they chose seats near the end so they could save a couple seats. About five minutes into breakfast both Ginny and Ron arrived. Ginny took the seat on Harry's right, and Ron took the seat on Hermione's left.
Smirking to herself, Hermione had the thought of her first move. It would be very subtle, but subtle was good when she really needed to confirm what she had seen earlier.
"What are you grinning at?" Ron asked. "You always have that look when you're being mischievous."
Hermione put the best innocent look on her face that she could summon. "Me? Mischievous?"
Ron eyed her up suspiciously. Hermione sat up in her seat, and reached across Ron for an apple from the fruit basket, slowly brushing her recently developed chest across his arms in the process. He immediately sat upright with his eyes wide in shock. Hermione went back very slowly, repeating the dirty deed. She couldn't help but give him that same "mischievous" grin that she had given him before. His face immediately flushed.
Hermione returned to eating and waited for Ron to do the same. When everything seemed to be back to normal, Hermione began to slowly and ever so lightly pet his upper thigh. She immediately felt his muscles under her hand tighten in shock.
"Ron you don't look so well," Hermione purred into his ear. "Maybe you 'ought to go see Madam Pomfrey before class begins."
Ron, who was now staring at her hand in disbelief, nodded his head quickly and ran out of the great hall, fighting to hide his raging erection.
Hermione giggled and shook her head at him and began poking at her food again.
"Are you trying to kill him!" Harry asked incredulously.
Ginny was laughing so hard she may have had milk come out of her nose.
"I think he likes me," was all Hermione said.
Ginny hit her forehead with her left palm, while Harry let his head drop to the table.
"It's about bloody time." Harry mumbled into the table.

The 28-year-old Saunders, who once received a free transfer from Swansea, will complete the third seven-figure transfer of his career if he agrees to follow Ray Houghton and Steve Staunton from Anfield to Villa Park. In 1988 he joined Derby from Oxford for pounds 1m, moving on to Liverpool for a then-British record of pounds 2.9m just over a year ago.
He scored 23 goals in his first season with Liverpool - including nine in Europe though only 10 in the League - but has not found the net since last month's Charity Shield match against Leeds, and was substituted during Liverpool's draw against the champions on Saturday.
Ron Atkinson's renewed interest in Saunders, whom he first tried to sign from Derby last summer, follows a failed offer of pounds 400,000 for Tranmere's John Aldridge, Manchester United's unwillingness to part with Mark Hughes, and the refusal of Aberdeen's Dutch international forward Hans Gilhaus to extend his trial period. Graeme Souness, the Liverpool manager, said after last night's game against Southampton that he had accepted the Villa offer and it was now up to the player.
Villa went two months without scoring last season, and are currently averaging only a goal per game in the Premier League. A partnership between Saunders and Atkinson's namesake, Dalian, would be arguably the fastest in the country.
The Football Association and the Premier League chairmen are embroiled in a power struggle for jurisdiction over the new competition which will see the FA veto the sponsorship the clubs expect to conclude next week.
The 22 chairmen meet on Monday for a third attempt to agree a deal which would see the breakaway elite become the Carling Premier League, but the FA warned yesterday that it would not allow a titled sponsorship.
The governing body is instead seeking a multi-faceted sponsorship which would encompass the England team and the FA Cup, as well as the Premier League. Its negotiations have reached an advanced stage, with an announcement expected in October, and it is not prepared to allow the clubs' deal with Bass, the brewing conglomerate of which Carling is a lager-producing subsidiary, to undermine them.
Graham Kelly, the FA's chief executive, pre-empted Monday's meeting with the following statement: 'The Football Association has serious reservations about the mooted titled sponsorship of the FA Premier League. Like the FA Cup, we feel the integrity and the name of the FA Premier League should be sacrosanct.
'Moreover, the strategy of title sponsorship is contrary to the package-of-sponsors route which we originally agreed with the clubs when working together on the television deals. The ink is only just dry on the constitution of the FA Premier League. It is far too early to be considering this change of tack.'
Trevor Phillips, the FA's commercial director, is working on a 'package of sponsors', who would be associated with the Premier League, FA Cup and England team in much the same way that multi-national companies sponsor the World Cup and Olympic Games. 'No one is allowed a titled sponsorship of those events. We believe we should do things the same way. Would people really like to see the Coca-Cola FA Cup?'
Phillips confirmed that the FA would veto the Carling sponsorship if it received the two-thirds majority it needs on Monday. Opposition to the deal will again be led by Liverpool, who have a pounds 1m-a-year sponsorship with one of Carling's rivals - Carlsberg.
BSkyB, which televises Premier League matches, is sponsored by Foster's, and opponents of Monday's proposition will point to the absurdity of it announcing 'The Carling Premier League, brought to you by Foster's Lager'.

With President Bush savoring a day of triumph, the major Democratic candidates kept their foreign-policy critiques indirect or skipped them altogether. Their main target Sunday was one of their own — former Vermont governor Howard Dean, whose opposition to the Iraq war helped him become the front-runner for the nomination.
Retired general Wesley Clark: It's a necessary step along the road to U.S. success in Iraq. ... This was not a necessary conflict, but as I have said, once we're there, we have to be successful.
Former Vermont governor Howard Dean: President Bush deserves a day of celebration. We have our policy differences, but we won't be discussing those today.
North Carolina Sen. John Edwards: We need to build on this success by addressing the threats posed to the world by the combination of tyrannical leaders, rogue nations and a worldwide proliferation of dangerous weapons.
Missouri Rep. Richard Gephardt: For many years, we will be confronted with a war on terrorism that is unfinished ... and we need a president who has the credibility to unite the American people and our allies.
Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry: Today is another opportunity to invite the world into a post-Saddam Iraq and build the coalition to win the peace that we should have built to win the war.
Connecticut Sen. Joe Lieberman: If we Democrats want to win back the White House and take this country forward, we have to show the American people that we're prepared to keep them safe.
"The fact is that if Howard Dean had his way, Saddam Hussein would still be in power today, not in prison," said Connecticut Sen. Joe Lieberman, who has sought Saddam's ouster since 1991.
Dean said little in public other than to congratulate U.S. troops and say he'd "go through all these issues piece by piece" in a foreign policy address today in Los Angeles. He then took off from Florida for the long flight west.
Democrats who supported the war have criticized Bush for not lining up more allies and planning better for the aftermath and did not back off Sunday. But the effect of such critiques may be blunted by the capture, particularly since most Americans — six in 10 in the two latest USA TODAY/CNN/Gallup polls — say the war was worth fighting. (Related link: Latest poll)
"Getting rid of Saddam is a big step forward in making Americans feel more secure about the way the war on terrorism is going," said Andrew Kohut, director of the non-partisan Pew Research Center. "That is central to President Bush's election chances."
That's not to say that Bush will be re-elected, Kohut added: "There are still a lot of questions about how the public will feel about Iraq down the road."
Public opinion will depend whether Iraq moves toward stability, democracy and calm.
As retired general Wesley Clark said Sunday, Saddam's capture is "a necessary but not sufficient condition" for success in Iraq. "We'll have to see how it goes from here."
The fate of al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden may also come into play as the 2004 election gets closer. In August, 41% of people in a USA TODAY/CNN/Gallup poll said it was more important to capture him than Saddam; 29% said it was more important to get Saddam.
Democrats say Americans will also look at whether Bush has persuaded allies to shoulder some of the human and monetary costs of the war on terrorism. "I worry whether he has lost the authority and the credibility to ... rebuild those alliances," Lieberman said.
Just two months ago Democrats were running for their nomination in a sagging economy. Dean had a money advantage over other candidates and was polling well in a couple of states, but few considered him a frontrunner. U.S. troops in Iraq faced daily attacks.
The economy is now on the upswing and so is the news from Iraq. And Dean, having secured Gore's endorsement, is riding higher than ever — even as rivals say the Saddam capture points up his deficiencies as a potential nominee.
Lieberman and Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry were most explicit. Kerry said on Fox News Sunday that Dean has not had "the experience or the knowledge or, in fact, ever showed the kind of thoughtfulness about Saddam Hussein" that a president needs. "Saying no is not a policy," he said.
Clark has criticized the war as harshly as Dean, but he speaks as a former NATO commander who ran the war in Kosovo. "Today's events only underscore the need to have a candidate with the military background and national security experience who can match up with George W. Bush," adviser Chris Lehane said.
Clark made the same point less directly in a conference call from the Hague, where he testifies today in the war crimes trial of former Yugoslav dictator Slobodan Milosevic. Democrats, he said, have to show more than compassion: "We have to show the American people that we're fully capable of handling international challenges."
Missouri Rep. Dick Gephardt, who helped Bush write the Iraq resolution, declined in an interview to criticize Dean directly. But he called his foreign affairs experience "an important asset" and that would help him "lead the entire world to defeat terrorism."

Celtics announce they've recalled Fab Melo from D-League's Maine Red Claws. Averaged 10.9 ppg, 6.9 rpg and 3.8 bpg for Red Claws — Marc Stein (@ESPNSteinLine) January 2, 2013 Fab Melo has been tearing up the D-League. Ainge made it clear that he thought that was the best place for him to stay right now. Granted, that was before the Celtics got blown out in three straight games. For what it's worth, Melo said the same thing. Still, it's unlikely this is a sign that Melo could see playing time in the NBA. Kris Joseph has been called up from Maine a million times, and this isn't the first time Melo's been calld up either.

1. Mario Badescu Elasto-Seamollient Hand Cream - reviewed here. Absolutely the best hand cream ever. 2. Alba Botanica Kukui Nut Body Cream- reviewed here. 3. Alba Botanica Sugar Cane Body Polish - There are no words to express how scrumptious this scrub smells; if I had to try I'd say "brown sugar cookie dough". I won't repurchase, though, because it's not very dense and I went through the entire container in 4 or 5 uses. If Alba ever makes a body butter with the same scent, I'll be first in line to buy it!4. Alba Botanica Kona Coffee After-Sun Lotion - a decent aftersun; smells more nutty than coffee-like to me. Like most Alba Botanica products, the ingredient list is fantastic: aloe, shea and cocoa butters, and sunflower, coffee, and papaya extracts are among the goodies inside.5. Random old shaving cream; I started using Barbasol's mens cream for sensitive skin last year and haven't looked back.6. Paula's Choice Extra Strength BHA toner - I'm planning a full post on Paula's Choice BHA products, but in a nutshell, they're good but overpriced. 7. Burt's Bees Milk and Honey Body Lotion - decent moisturizer, but sadly (as I love honey-scented things) smelled more like milky citrus. It was bearable, but not pleasant, and I definitely won't repurchase. 8. Embryolisse Lait-Crème Concentré 2x - reviewed here. You can see that my complaint about the packaging in my original reviews still holds! The metal tube inevitably tears when bent and I had to duct-tape it shut so I wouldn't waste the practically full container. 9. Weleda Wild Rose Smoothing Facial Lotion - reviewed here.10. Palmer's Skin Smoothing Alpha/Beta Hydroxy Lotion - my skin gets on really well with Palmer's products, and this was no exception. It's a light lotion with both an AHA (in the form of lactic acid) and BHA (salicylic acid), to reduce scarring and slough away rough patches on the body. I found it very effective, lightweight, and non-greasy, but I just cannot deal with the awful smell. It's an overpowering stench reminiscent of truck-stop cologne. I have no idea why Palmer's put the fragrance in there because I don't know anyone who would like it. If a fragrance-free version every comes out, I'll buy it by the gallon, but until then....I just can't. Sad, because it's one of the best and cheapest AHA/BHA combos out there.11. Avene Hydrance Optimale UV (Legere) - reviewed here. 12. Jason Naturals 5000 I.U. Vitamin E Oil - reviewed here.
Bioderma Hydrabio Riche
It's difficult to find a rich, truly hydrating face cream that doesn't overload the skin and clog the pores. Bioderma's offering for dehydrated sensitive skin promises to deliver long-lasting moisturization through a formula that's also hypoallergenic and noncomodeginc. Color me impressed, because even though those were big promises, Bioderma has seriously exceeded expectations.Simply put, Hydrabio Riche is a no-frills cream that does everything it's supposed to do and more. Like with Avene products, my skin feels calmer the second I apply it. When I wake up after using Hydrabio as my night cream, my face is soft and plumped, and surface redness has dramatically decreased. The unexpected bonus is that it also functions as a barrier repair cream, healing and soothing fragile skin that's been stressed by environmental factors or harsh products. A scrape on my cheek vanished overnight, with no scarring or residual irritation. With a light, pleasant scent (like most French skincare products I've found) and sleek pump packaging, Bioderma's managed to elevate a necessary basic into a small luxury that's a joy to use.I love this little gem, and will absolutely repurchase the next time I'm in Europe. I'm also going to try the Legere (light) version for day. Because I have very dry skin, I can get away with using this under makeup as long as I apply it thinly to damp skin; however, those with oilier skin types will probably find it too heavy for daytime use. I paid 10e when I bought this in France, and for Europeans it's 12e on easyparapharmacie. In the U.S. it's significantly marked up on Amazon, but you lucky Brits should be able to find it in-store soon, thanks to Bioderma's launch in the UK!
The Keratosis Pilaris Series - Introduction
At first, my interest in skincare was mainly fueled by the fact that I have quite problematic skin. I've been diagnosed with rosacea and keratosis pilaris, have very dry and sensitive skin, and spent 2011 and 2012 having the first real breakouts of my life before I stopped taking medication that affected my hormone levels. Because in my case the condition itself and the resulting scarring are both severe, KP in particular has had a significant effect on my self-esteem - I didn't wear short sleeves for years because of how bad my upper arms looked.
Now, although in real life it's caused some distress and embarrassment, I realize that I'm lucky that my (relatively minor) skin problems cause discomfort rather than pain. However, I'd like to be able to be open on this blog about my experience with a very common skincare concern that affects a lot of people. Not only does it help me to organize methods that work vs. those that don't, I hope that some of the knowledge and tips I've picked up along the way can help people who are distressed by similar skin conditions. After all, I've had KP for the past ten years and only recently have found some solutions that work for me.
This series of posts has five planned additional parts - Lotions, Localized Treatments, Oils, Lifestyle Adjustments, and Resources - and I may add more if I find anything else to talk about. Please do let me know if there is anything in particular that you think I should make sure to address!
