Man City 2-3 Norwich
- From the section Football
Managerless Manchester City's turbulent week ended with defeat by Norwich in an enthralling final-day encounter.
Poor home defending allowed Anthony Pilkington through to give Norwich the lead, only for Jack Rodwell to finish a neat Blues move for the equaliser.
Grant Holt's back-post shot restored the Canaries' lead before Rodwell raced clear to level again.
But Jonny Howson's goal after running from halfway gave Norwich only their second away league win of the season.
In beating four men and sliding past Hart from an angle, Howson also gave Norwich their first top-flight win at Manchester City.
It was only the Blues' second home defeat in 48 Premier League games on their first appearance at the Etihad Stadium since losing the FA Cup final and sacking manager Roberto Mancini.
With a subdued crowd showing banners and chanting support for Mancini throughout, the home side, with Brian Kidd in caretaker charge, were largely culpable as they went down to a Norwich side who had only secured their Premier League safety with last week's 4-0 win over West Brom.
The hosts have the tightest defence in the top flight but were caught out twice for Norwich's opening two goals, and then allowed Howson to progress virtually unchallenged for the winner.
But that is not to detract from the performance of Chris Hughton's men, who were inspired by the endeavour of Wes Hoolahan and Robert Snodgrass to climb to 11th in the table, their highest top-flight finish since 1993.
Only QPR and Stoke had scored fewer Premier League goals than Norwich before Sunday, but for their season's finale the Canaries provided a constant attacking threat.
Ryan Bennett had already had a header cleared off the line when the visitors took a deserved lead. With Yaya Toure ponderous in defence, Hoolahan's persistence eventually released Pilkington, who coolly slotted past Hart.
The hosts had been subdued until that point, but were sufficiently jolted that Norwich's lead lasted only three minutes.
Samir Nasri fed the ball into Edin Dzeko, whose one touch was enough to free Rodwell for his first goal since moving to the Etihad from Everton last summer.
But the equaliser only served to galvanise Norwich in turn, who went close through Snodgrass, Russell Martin and Bradley Johnson either side of the break.
The visitors deservedly regained the lead, but not without the help of more slack home defending.
Howson's sweet cross-field ball found an unmarked Snodgrass on the right of the Blues' box, and when he slid it across goal Holt went unchallenged to apply a simple finish.
Again, however, Norwich's lead did not last long. With Manchester City struggling to clear, Toure arrived to collect the ball, carry it forward and find the run of Rodwell down the Norwich right.
Rodwell's pace was too much for Steven Whittaker and he was able to find the net with a shot across John Ruddy.
Still Norwich, and Howson in particular, refused to roll over. From inside his own half, he progressed all the way into the Manchester City box and gave Norwich the lead for a third time with a clinical finish.
The final 20 minutes featured plenty of frantic Norwich defending, but the Canaries held out to send Manchester City to their post-season tour of the United States - and the potential appointment of Manuel Pellegrini as Mancini's successor - on the back of a defeat.
Manchester City caretaker manager Brian Kidd:
"It's been an emotional week with the events at the club. I understand the cheers for the boss - he would have been disappointed if there wasn't for what he did here.
"I've been blessed and been grateful for what football has given me. I was asked to take charge for two games and America, which has been tough with the boss going. The club make the decisions and you abide by it. I'm a big boy.
"We have fallen short of the standards we set last season, but it hasn't been for a lack of effort. You defend as a team and attack as a team, so you have to look collectively, but we haven't reached that consistency."
Norwich City manager Chris Hughton:
"The manner in which we achieved this win is most pleasing. You know [Man City] are going to have the bulk of possession but we did really well with the ball.
"We were always a threat and I don't think anyone who saw that would say we weren't worthy of what we got today.
"We want to develop and we have a very good side that has served us well this season. We won't forget that, but if we are able to strengthen then we will. Anyone we bring in has to be the right player, but it is our responsibility to the fans to try to keep improving."

I'm beginning a ladies only handgun and home defense class later this month, hoping to wind up with my CHL. I've been around guns all my life, although I haven't shot much in the past 20 years or so. I am a card carrying member of the NRA. My dad has been my go-to person on firearms issues, but he is not all that active these days. I'm hoping I can pick y'all's brains every now and then, and maybe do a little socializing.

Hello, Lena, and welcome from Missouri to a really great forum. Good people and info here!
It is great that you are starting a self defense instructional setup for ladies. You may want to check out the many free YouTube videos made by Massad Ayoob, a world-class instructor in handgun use and self defense, who has recorded training sessions in Judicious Use of Force, Shoot to Live, Home Invasion, Preparation for Home Defense, and What to Do After a Shooting. Just Google his name and these topics and the YouTubes should show up. Very good instructional information from an expert, and free. This may help give you some ideas and "homework" for your students!
And, best wishes for a safe, prosperous New Year to you and yours.

Two Simple From The Heart Valentine's Day Ideas [VIDEO]
Holy crap! I think I just found the easiest way to earn a few extra points this Valentines Day. If you're anything like me buying a box of chocolates will not suffice, that's too easy. I prefer to make dinner for my lady. It's from the heart and personal. Plus you can get super creative with it.

Living up to the "spooky core" tag way better than Coal Chamber, the band that came up with that descriptor nearly in the mid '90s, Pennsylvania's makeup-slathered Motionless in White manage to pull off the unlikely mashup of Manson-esque Halloween rock with burly, mosh pit-churning metalcore. Complete with black-metalish keyboard flourishes, Infamous lead single "Devil's Night" rages like Bleeding Through, while "A-M-E-R-I-C-A" stomps like vintage Manson. Perhaps best of all is "Sinematic," a slow-burning goth-emo power ballad that truly is as its title says. Infamous displays a compelling, if sometimes uncomfortable, range for a young band, particularly in vocalist Chris Motionless, and as a result, scares up genuine thrills. WILL NAVIDSON

Capella IX, a Hylas 54 that summers in Portland, MA, and winters at Tortola, springs from the new generation of shorthanded but fully appointed all-out cruisers. A big engine, a generator, 240 gallons of fuel support, and an array of amenities that old Yankee salts like myself have long considered dubious but that, when finally experienced, really seem pretty nice. There's a toaster, a microwave, a freezer, a satellite telephone, a trash compactor, a watermaker, bow thrusters, a heater/air conditioner, and electric winches. They provided satisfactions like the poached eggs that skipper Toby Tobin, with a glow of delight, created one morning in the microwave. Who would deny a crew the pleasure of ice cream on the last night before reaching Tortola?
Before leaving Portland, we carefully talked through crewoverboard, dismasting, holing, and other emergency procedures. We agreed without any debate that, even though our ship was big and her center cockpit was far from the water, we would wear and clip on safety harnesses when on deck at all times. To keep people away from the rail, we also agreed to use the toilets below so as to avoid the risk of being flipped overboard while fumbling with zippers.
We left Portland on November 12, and with a grim forecast for steep front and northwest gales, we decided not to head offshore but power through the Cape Cod Canal. As we powered fast across Massachusetts Bay, the National Weather Service's repeated, loud warnings of 50-knot winds and 30-foot seas kept us plenty alert. So we were happy to hole up in South Dartmouth, better known as Padanaram (see Genesis 28), where, securely lashed to a slip at the Concordia yard by a web of dock lines, we stared at a fearful, scuddy sky.
With the strenuous loads of such a hefty, well-canvassed boat in even a moderate breeze, the big electric primary cockpit winches were crucial to our happiness. Jib sheets led there, as did roller-furler lines and the controls for the Leisure Furl system, which rolls up the mainsail inside the boom. Reefing and unreefing the mainsail quickly requires practice, good timing, and a sure hand at the helm, since the boat has to be luffing almost dead into the wind for the gadget to work cleanly. We found that setting sail was relatively easy so long as the halyard was on the big winch, but rolling in a reef often required someone to go forward to guide the sail into the boom.
Once in the Virgins, we celebrated the end of a fine voyage by anchoring in a cove and taking the afternoon off with a swim, a beer, and a nap. We were full of thanksgivings, but the real Thanksgiving called, in my case one full of wonderful family news. Among life's passages, an ocean voyage under sail in a good ship with good shipmates is one of the most enjoyable and rewarding, but there are others.

The hyoid apparatus (fig. 59, C) consists of a median portion, and a pair of cornua.
To the ends of the umbilcus were added knobs (cornua), sometimes gilded or painted a bright color.
The frontes are the edges of the roll, and the cornua are the projecting portions of the two wooden rollers.
In Woodpeckers the cornua are enormously long, and curve over the skull, extending as far forwards as the anterior nares.
This seems to be the natural explanation of the κέρατα, or cornua, mentioned by the ancient writers.
The posterior (thyroid) cornua of the hyoid are remnants of the true arches.
The Hyoid of the dog consists of a transverse median piece, the basi-hyal (fig. 72, 32), from which arise two pairs of cornua.
Pontii Leontii, vs. 26, "Caput ardua rumpunt cornua, et indigenam jaculantur fulminis ignem."
"cornua rupicapris in dorsum adunca, damis in adversum," says Pliny.
The hyoid arch (fig. 29, A, 2) consists of a pair of cornua, each of which is divided into two halves.
cornu cor·nu (kôr'nōō, -nyōō)
n. pl. cor·nu·a (-nōō-ə, -nyōō-ə)
A part or structure, such as a protuberance, that is composed of a horny substance.
See horn.

No idea if this has been posted on here before, but I found this while looking for a solution to launching XBMC instead of Media Center on Win 7 with a MCE remote:
launching xbmc with a windows media center remote
The basic idea is that his code replaces ehshell.exe in Windows, and then the Green Button (or equivalent) launches XBMC instead. The code also brings XBMC to the foreground if it is already running.
I've installed it, and it works like a charm if you have the standard registry settings in place.
Just thought I'd share, not associated with it in any way...

When the first Ford Mustang rolled off the assembly line, it was an overnight sensation in the media and in Ford showrooms
across the country.
The 1965 Mustang and 1966 Mustang offered a winning combination of sporty performance, personal luxury and fresh styling, which
turned out to be a huge hit and most successful new car introduction in the history of the automobile industry. Ford's
Mustang triggered competition from every major car company, creating overnight the "pony car" class. Part of the
Mustang's appeal was it's trim size, sparkling performance and broad options list!

Students often ask me: "So and so has a theory about gunfighting—what do you think of it?"
Well, first and foremost, what is he basing this theory on and what is his actual background as it pertains to such a theory? Does he have a real-world background over a protracted period of time upon which to base this theory? Has he ever applied it? Has anyone he has taught applied it successfully? Has it been applied on numerous occasions in documented shootings? Have these numerous applications been successful? Has he ever had to justify this theory, or its application thereof in the field, to a shooting review board or use-of-force investigation? Has anyone he has ever trained had to justify it to the District or City Attorney's Office or the courts or juries against opposing attorneys?
These are just some of the questions I would personally pose. If the answers keep coming up "no" or "I don't believe so," I would be somewhat skeptical of the theory itself.
You can have all the theory you want in ping-pong, badminton and fishing. A ping-pong ball to the lips is a fairly sus-tainable injury. You miss the shuttlecock and perhaps you'll get the next one. You lose the record trout, then lie about it—what the heck, it's just your word and that of the mystery trout that can't seem to be located at the moment.
Gunfighting is altogether different. The stakes are very real and long-lasting. The answers required to your actions are very real. The personal consequences to basing your life on a theory would seem to be self-evident.
Some "theories" are pure marketing spin, which seems to be the standard of the day. I gave up on this some time ago when "experts" began falling from the trees faster than leaves during a New England autumn. Some of this stuff is just pure foolishness and downright unsafe. It is also predictable in its outcome if ever applied in the real world: not so great.
I like to apply a reasoned, common-sense approach to any theory that has the prospect of being put to the litmus test. This is especially true if I am placing my life behind a specific theory. I also know that certain theories have with-stood the test of time in hundreds if not thousands of incidents. I tend to gravitate toward theories that have worked for others.
I can tell you with a fair degree of certainty that you cannot "will" a bullet into the target no matter how hard you concentrate. You can certainly try, yet to date it has not proven itself. This would be analogous to bending a spoon from across the room through psychic force of will.
When I first joined the LAPD, you had to have a hat on at all times. Forgot your shotgun? Forgot your pistol? Forgot your bullets? No problem. Did you have your hat on? Yes. Very good, and remember, this will reflect positively in your rating report!
I was on a bank robbery with suspects, dutifully and tactically deployed behind the patrol car door with the shotgun. The captain came up behind me. "Reitz, where's your hat?" (He was standing fully upright, by the way.) "See me in the office after this is over." Later, as I sat across from him in his office, he explained that once upon a time, he had his official LAPD hat on and a suspect tried to kick him in the head. The suspect missed his head and hit the hat instead. (Somehow the captain didn't account for the fact that had he not had the hat on, the suspect would have missed him altogether.) I could also see why he was a captain.
Bucking the captain's theory was not then, nor is it now, a great idea when you're a slick-sleeved patrol type. But it was his theory.
Another theory of his, as he went on to explain during our little tea ceremony, was that the hat made you taller and more authoritative. (Once again, I pondered why a suspect could not simply figure out our height absent the hat and take a swing at us anyway.) I posited that perhaps we should all wear stilts like the characters at Disneyland—which he found totally unamusing. I left the captain's office contrite and apologetic, with the solemn promise to never, ever again contemplate any activity that did not incorporate my hat.
That captain went on to make commander, which made sense in the grand scheme of things. Sometimes theory is just that—theory!

Why we must listen to survivors of solitary confinement
Source: Truthout. After years of relentless pressure by activists and writers — both inside and outside of prison — solitary confinement is solidly on the national political radar. There's still a long way to go: Between 80,000 and 100,000 people remain in solitary confinement, and Black and Brown people are overwhelmingly more likely than whites to be placed in solitary. In order to shrink — and hopefully someday eliminate — that giant tally, sustained public education and advocacy will be required. That's why last month's release of Hell Is a Very Small Place: Voices From Solitary Confinement could not be timelier. This collection of essays by survivors of solitary, as well as activists and family members on the outside, is a deep dive into the pain and lasting trauma wrought by isolation.

Anyone else struggling with more royal baby news?(43 Posts)
Sorry for the moaning message just wondering if anyone else is struggling to conceive and feels depressed by yet another royal pg announcement?!
I had a mmc in Dec and been struggling ever since. I knew this week was going to be tough as my due date was the same as Kate Middleton's but this new pg announcement has really hit me hard.
Please please feel free to have a moan and make feel like I'm not a sad/over-emotional idiot!!!
Yes, overload yesterday. I had to avoid it as having bad day anyway. Almost everything on Facebook for several hours mentioned it too. Even Slimming World had to get in there with a congratulations. Peppa Pig world "Will they call it George?" And lots more..
Really pleased for them all seems to have gone well but the obsession of the world when I'm feeling grumpy about it all...
So hugs all round! Or did someone mention fizzy pink stuff?? Not too early for that at all!
I could never understand why people would get upset by royal baby news... but then this morning, watching the news I just burst into uncontrollable tears.
I've only been trying for a few months, but DP has potential fertility issues which we have been dealing with for over a year, so I don't think it will be plain sailing for us and we have endured a lot of heartbreak to get to this point.
Thinking about the excitement, and how content and happy the new family are... well I'm just plain envious. Can't stop watching the news, and I'm really happy for them, but I know it will be difficult when they emerge on that front step.
There I said it, Feel better now!
Hugs to everyone on this thread, be strong xx
Ow. Ow, ow, ow. Thinking of all our peers in the royal baby and miscarriage threads who dreaded this being the news everywhere.
really a sweepstake for the name thats a bit extreme if it was a bump in the office I would understand. Weve just had 3 women in the floor of my officer go on maternity. I had a feel of one of the bumps ive never done it before the most bizarre feelings felt a foot it made me so much more broody tho.
mocktail on the order list tea!
Anyone else's work running a royal baby name sweepstake or is it just my office wanting to rub salt into the wound a little more?!
Um (laughing at predictability of it), I really just drink tea (other than juice and water, I mean). How dull! Let me try a mocktail peach bellini - I think you make it with white sparkling grape juice and peach juice (yum!).
No news has come to me yet, but I'm not going looking for it either x
Pink fizz for me please
Thanks bunny and barking I prob will. You berries are all so lovely. thunder sent me a message the other day checking on me.
What a lovely idea tea I think I will bring some booze and chocolate to the party. What does everyone drink?!
Thanks for your post katy
Thanks katy
Just saw this thread and wanted to send un-Mumsnetty hugs to you all. I've been where you are and I know it's horrible, so hugs, and for you all, and lovely to dunk in your [brew
Excellent idea tea I'll bring the cake!
We could come here for a bit of support the day we get the royal news, and then when we hear the news (wherever we are), and our hearts break just a little bit, we can think of each other here, and know that whenever we get the chance we can log in and get some cheering up.
I'd like to advance order for my royal log in: some cheesy cheery music to block out the royal news media fest; some cake (I love cake), perhaps a new Harry Potter (yes I know that'll never happen, but let's imagine no.8 will be released that day); and a new dress that makes me feel like a goddess when I wear it.
Come back yorkie!!!!!
Im only at the start of ttc no kids of my own have a step-son and his mother is pg again with her new partner, every week I get new scan pictures on my facebook, and I like seeing them but I am also very jealous and Im new to it all god knows what I will be like in 6 months 12 months who knows really. I like the royal family but it is all just easy peasy and reading peoples experiences on here makes me feel for everyone who struggles and have had bad experiences it should be equal all round bloody nature.
Come back to the berries yorkie! I keep telling myself a break will stop me obsessing, but then I get upset when I see the two bumps in our group of friends, and next door's bump, all three of which are now huge, and over the next couple of months they'll all have babies . It's times like that I need to remind myself that there are other <berries> people that are in the same situation and feel the same!!
Hey bunny and barking hope you're both okay. I abandoned the berry thread for a bit to try and have a bit of a break from obsessing over ttc. Not that it worked hence me starting this thread!
Kitty Agree I know nothing about a women's previous ttc history when I see her bump in the street or reported in the news but ttc emotions and constant disappointment blocks any kind of rational thoughts in that situation.
I've been at it for 22 months Barking and I feel pretty much the same. I haven't had a miscarriage or anything and I can't imagine how awful that must feel, but I do still get the 'why not me?' feeling every few weeks. They are irrational thoughts IMO, but I also think it's normal to have them. It's healthy not to bottle up your emotions and feelings of inadequacy when your body doesn't do what it is supposed to; it's only when you become consumed by such feelings that it can be unhealthy. Each month of not conceiving is a small loss and over time that can take its toll. I think you need to have these feelings to enable you to get angry, sad, whatever and then hopefully move forward, although I know that's easier said than done.
I've not had a MC and can't imagine how I'd cope if I did, but I have been ttc #1 for a while, up to cycle 20 now. I really struggle with all the bumps in the newspapers/radio/tv etc, and radio presenters at the moment seem to be talking about their children all the time, but it's still the bumps closest to home that get me, the bumps of friends and family members .
Hey yorkie I remember you!
I know how you feel about the royal babies, it's tough enough escaping bumps etc but when it's splashed across the papers you can't help but see it all the time.
I am dreading the birth announcement, the next few weeks are going to be hideous!
Kittykat I think you are spot on with that observation. There is no protocol for acknowledging miscarriage grief, which makes it a million times harder for you to accept what you feel and for others to understand it.
Like others I had a MMC in December but would have been due around now. I was very fortunate to fall pg again quite quickly but I know that had I not I would be probably be finding it really difficult around now.
did i just totally kill the conversation? LMAO :P :D
one of the hardest things I found about mmc is when you find out you are pregnant the social norm is not to announce it until you are 12weeks. However, if you lose that little life that you loved from day 1 then do you announce your grief?? If people arent supposed to know you were pregnant are they supposed to know you lost it? The problem being this doesnt make your grief any less infact I think it can nearly make women feel unentitled to grieve.
I am a nurse so I work with large amounts of women and what I have found is if a colleague announces she is pregnant before her 12weeks people talk about it saying "shes game for announcing that so soon, what if she loses it". So what im trying to say is our culture and attitudes dont make things easier either.
I also found that when i did tell people about my mmc they also disclosed theirs and it was again the same 4/5 women defo seemed to have experienced it.
kittykat01 what you say is true, I often think that in an offhand way, sure, it'll be fine if we can't have kids, but actually when I stop to think about it properly it gets me panicky and feeling incredibly down. It's all I've ever wanted since I was about 10. It'd take some serious counselling to get me used to the idea of a future without our own babies.
Having said that I find it easier dealing with AF coming every month than I did this time last year. You do find a way to cope.
kittykat that is so true. Many things may have gone on behind the screens, we just don't know.
After my MMC, when I eventually felt a bit brave and not too raw to talk about it (took me the best part of a year), people I confided in, admitted they have had miscarriages as well. 4 out of 5 of them.
Its just not talked about, is it?
we are ttc baby1 and now on cycle 7 and we had a mmc at cycle 3.
What Ive come to realise is that you can not wait to be happy. you cannot put all your happiness on being pregnant and becoming a mother. Every month we spend counting down the tww and the days when we are fertile. We sit my the side of a toilet taking tests hoping that this is a month and then when it isnt we struggle to be happy for those that do conceive and go on to have healthy babies. All that time and energy put into something that may or may not happen.
What im saying is we are missing out on whats happening right here and right now. I dont want to be moody with my husband and I dont want to put our happiness on hold when the reason we are together is because we love each other and that love is strong regardless if there is a child or not.
What im trying to say is that we all need to learn to be happy and appreciate everything we have now and when we manage that then how we deal with the negative test and mmc will become easier and our happiness is not on hold.
As for the Royals who is to say Catherine didnt spend months ttc and who is to know if she had mmc prior to this baby. the palace would not announce that news and who is to say the same for Zara...

I was considering buying a laser level and am basically debating between whether i want to get the black and decker crossfire which doesn't look bad for the price, or go the extra mile and get the pls2e for double the price, but it will last far longer and is more accurate.
IMO this is comparing apples to oranges. The Black and Decker being more of a novelty vs, the pls, which is a pro grade tool. You are right in being concerned about the level of accuracy among these tools. I have to laugh out loud when I walk past a display touting some manufacturers "highly accurate laser level" and see the specs claiming "accurate to plus/minus 3/8" in thirty feet. I may have to step up from my 9" torpedo level to my 12" torpedo to attain such perfection.:jester:
i got the pls2 self-leveling laser myself, and love it..makes framing lay-out and other things such a breeze without having to snap lines and level up for top-plates..
I got the crossfire as a gift and I dont like it. As a matter of fact, I might toss it on ebay. We tried to use it once while laying out the wall tile in a 6' x 12' bathroom and it was not only innacurate, but the actual laser line on the wall is so thick, its hard to even mark it in the correct place.
I would definately recommend a professional laser if you plan to use it alot. I'm just a DIY guy, so I will probably continue to use a 4' level and borrow a good laser level when I have the chance.
i actually went and bought a johnson acculine crosshair laser. It doenst have different modes like the PL2 so its always a crosshair but i have seen one used at work and i liked it for the price. I bought it half price on ebay brand new so hopefully i get lucky when it arrives this afternoon. I figured black and decker was meh and johnson is a company that takes pride and puts quality into its lasers seeing as they make so many. When i get it this afternoon il definitely tell you how it is.
laser is great, heres the link to it
it works flawlessly, it has a locking mechanism to protect parts when its turned off, wall mount everything. Got it for 45 shipped to my house on ebay.
Retails about 100+ tax at lowes.

Bad Plastic Surgery Results
One more point that could take place is just rotten luck www.drruas.com/. No surgical procedure lacks threats. A lot of adverse effects as well as problems are popular yet each client is various, has a various health and wellness problem and also record. An outstanding specialist could have the ability to reduce the threats however no one could minimize them to no. There is constantly something that could occur. The media contains images of fallen short plastic surgery. Commonly the feedbacks are permanent. Perhaps the cosmetic surgeon simply had a bad day, perhaps unanticipated adverse effects wrecked a great. Reality is that you possibly run the risk of a whole lot when you aim to conserve a couple of Dollars by picking an economical specialist. Difficulties become part of the life of any type of specialist. Just because you have no clinical need for the surgical treatment does not secure you versus feasible adverse end results of a surgical treatment. If you obtain an eyelid surgical procedure or a facelift for instance as well as the surgical procedure creates a nerve damages your appearance could be spoiled permanently. One more feasible difficulty is an infection. An infection could progress to a major hazard as well as mess up the outcomes of an excellent surgical treatment. Blood loss is one source of an infection. If a surgical treatment, for instance a liposuction surgery, brings about high blood loss after that the threats of an infection boost also.
Next to all the conversations, a bad plastic surgery is simple to place. When you see a lovely ladies as well as you aren't sure if it is actual or otherwise, after that you have an instance of an ideal cosmetic surgery. On the other hand, when you can see right away that there was a doctor at the office, exactly how can this ready plastic surgery? You could additionally speak about bad cosmetic surgery when the cosmetic surgeon is exaggerating points, commonly due to the client that advises the doctor to do something uncommon. That could be a procedure that is recognized to extremely high-risk or from the range of conventional, tested treatments. One instance are very big breast enhancement or face lifts on 80 years of age grannies that wish to appear like 20. To decrease the possibilities to become a sufferer of bad cosmetic surgery you ought to minimize 2 major danger variable, one is the cosmetic surgeon and also the various other the client. The person normally hungers for as well as anticipates way too much. Educate on your own exactly what is feasible and also just what stays a desire. After that pick the most effective cosmetic surgeon you could discover for cash. If you conserve below after that you risk your health and wellness.
Every surgical procedure leaves a mark or various other skin problems. If the skin does not recoup for whatever factor after that it is a significant issue. A surgical treatment could bring about skin fatality, pins and needles, dimples or a loss of feeling, traits that occasionally never ever vanish once again. Great cosmetic surgery looks all-natural, it resembles the charm was offered naturally as well as not by a cosmetic surgeon. It looks harmonic, mixes completely with the individuality of the individual. It makes points look much better. Every little thing else is not natural. We normally see bad cosmetic surgery just when the media release images of celebs that had some sort of plastic surgery. One would certainly imply that these superstars would certainly have the cash as well as the best consultants to select the most effective feasible surgical procedure yet when you check out the feedbacks in some cases it is fantastic exactly what you see. It simply looks not natural.

The Colossi of Memnon? When are graffiti not graffiti?
I have wanted to see the Colossi of Memnon for ages. These are two huge statues of the Pharaoh Amenhotep III which have stood since the fourteenth century BC outside the remains of his "mortuary temple" not far from Luxor in Southern Egypt. It isn't their Egyptological history that interests me particularly (in fact even after a few days in Egypt, I'm just as bad as I ever was at telling my Nefertaris from my Nefertitis . . . or my Amenhoteps from my Akhenatens; and indeed I have been known to glaze over when having them explained).
For me these statues are important because they were a Roman tourist attraction -- and it is fun to be gawping at monuments that Germanicus or Hadrian gawped at a couple of thousand years ago. Not exactly for the same reasons, it must be allowed. One of the colossi was especially renowned in the early Roman empire because, thanks to some damage (possibly in an earthquake in the first century BC), the effect of the stone warming up in the morning made the statue emit a strange sound like singing. It the Romans said that it was not Amenhotep at all, but an image of the hero Memnon, son of Dawn...who miraculously sang to greet his mother each morning. Or, he sang most mornings; there were some unlucky visitors who didn,t hear the singing.
The Romans loved the sound and also finished it off. The statue was repaired in the second century and never sang again.
Predictably perhaps, the tourist guides here (who have never heard of Memnon) tell a brave new version of the story... that they were believed to be statues of AGAmemnon who wept at dawn. In such ways new myths are born.
Anyway, I had long known that the upmarket Roman visitors did not just admire the sound, they scratched their appreciation in the stone of the figure's huge leg. There are some notable verses, for example, by a lady in Hadrian's party (Julia Balbilla) recording her appreciation in several lines of vaguely Sapphic verses. (These are all published in a full publication by A and E Bernand.)
I have always called these 'graffiti' before. But a visit has shown that that is quite the wrong way of looking at them. For a start, Julia Balbilla could hardly have improvised her careful Sapphic lines when she arrived and heard the statue perform. She almost certainly came with them already up her sleeve (nothing spontaneous here). But just looking at the texts all over the statue's leg suggested that these texts were a very professional operation. They were mostly very neat (not an amateur scrawl at all, and must have taken a good day to complete even for a trained inscriber); and several of them, even allowing for the changing ground level, were so high up that you would require more than a chair to stand on.. something more like a mini-scaffolding.
This was not graffiti in the usual sense of the term at all. It was public display writing commissioned by a set of high ranking Romans, writing themselves onto a famous, semi-mythical Egyptian monument (or alternatively an attempt by the locals to commemorate visits by famous foreign dignitories).
It was funny that we then went onto the temple at Luxor (much of which was also built by Amenhotep III) and saw graffiti of a different sort there... also of a "more than meets the eye" kind. The guide book was very keen on the signature of (Arthur) Rimbaud, the poet and gun-runner, very high up on the wall of one of the furthest chambers ... indicating how much higher the ground level was in the 1880s at the time of Rimbaud's visit.
What the guide book didn't say was that there was another Rimbaud signature on another column a few feet away. This aroused a bit of suspicion. Did Rimbaud ever actually go to Luxor? Well so far as I can tell from web-research, he was certainly in Egypt, but only known in the north. Enid Starkie (who appears to have believed that Luxor is near Alexandria) knew of no other evidence than his 'signature' on the temple.
We have ended up with the distinct impression that once Byron had started the tradition of poets carving their signatures into ancient temples, that was not only an encouragement for any old poet to do the same -- it was an encouragement for any fan to FORGE the name of their favourite poet onto an appropriately grand antiquity.
Or does someone have some clear, independent evidence that Rimbaud did make it as far as Luxor?

John Wadlow's name occurs for the last time in the wardmote return of December, 1660.
When the play differs from Holinshed it differs also from the wardmote Book.
Holinshed and the wardmote Book both explicitly assert this.
The widow Wadlowe's name is returned for the last time by the wardmote on December 21st, 1629.
The wardmote had inquest jurisdiction over immorality or bad behavior such as vagrancy, delinquency, illegitimacy, and disputes.
Mr. Houston, the attorney who officiated at the wardmote, was not suffered to make his report of the election.
It was divided into wards, answering to hundreds in the county; each having its own wardmote, or leet, under its elected alderman.
It was divided into wards, each governed by an alderman who presided over the wardmote, and represented his ward at the folkmote.
Secondly, they are presidents of the wardmote and governors each of that ward whereby he was elected.
About the middle of last December, I received a citation to attend a wardmote, to be held in the schoolroom of my parish.

It's been a great year for open data and a beautiful year for satellite imagery. Just for fun, here's a few favorites.
Confluence of the Fisher and Mellor glaciers, Antarctica. On November 11th, as the Southern Hemisphere's summer began, Landsat 8 passed over the area of East Antarctica where the Fisher and Mellor glaciers join, forming part of the huge Lambert Glacier System — the largest in the world, although it was only mapped in the 1950s. The blue streaks are bare ice, where the wind has blown away all loose snow. Astronomers search places like those to find meteorites, lifted to the surface where the ice is forced up slopes.
Ships in Singapore Harbor. Singapore is one of the busiest container ports in the world, and there are so many cargo ships anchored around it that you can follow the currents by seeing which way they're pointing. Many of the ships here are larger than the Titanic, and can carry as much cargo as the weight of a million people, or three hundred air-freight 747s loaded to capacity. Landsat 8 — undaunted by thick tropical haze — picked this up on June 27th.
Haiyan. On November 8th, Supertyphoon Haiyan (or Yolanda) made landfall, with recordbreaking wind speeds usually only seen in tornados. Open satellite imagery was a vital part of storm prediction as well as recovery. This MODIS image has the outline of the Philippines superimposed, since the hurricane completely covers the nation.
Fog around Santiago. Chile's capital city is sandwiched between the huge Andes mountains to the east and lower coastal ranges to the west. In this Landsat 8 view from August 2nd, fog has crept into the valleys of the western mountains, but Santiago and the surrounding wine country is mostly clear.
The Rim Fire. In August, September, and October, one of the largest and most spectacular wildfires in California's history burned near Yosemite. This Landsat 8 scene from August 24th shows the edge of the fire as it moved south. Like all Landsat imagery, it was available for free to the public — and firefighting agencies — within hours, allowing same-day planning.
Pavlof eruption. Sometimes the most interesting satellite images are by people. On May 18th, astronauts on the International Space Station used ordinary digital cameras to record a volcanic eruption in the Aleutian Islands, Alaska.
Rice farms north of Shanghai. The delta of China's Yellow River has created extremely fertile farmland. In this Landsat 8 scene from August 13th, we can see the dense rice paddies of Rudong County, only two hours' drive north of the skyscrapers of downtown Shanghai. The patterns to the east are sand islands where the river meets the Pacific.
Everything you see here is free to download and use at original size, thanks to the efforts of NASA, USGS, NOAA, and other agencies — just follow the links.

Have an agenda and objectives. Post them on large charts in a prominent place. Use them as a frequent reminders: the goals and objectives remind all that the group has a purpose in meeting and the agenda reminds them that some thought was given to how to achieve the purpose. When building your agenda, always know what you're going to do with the output of any activity or exercise.
If you don't know in advance what the meeting is about, the first thing you do with the group is gather ideas from them and build the charts. Ask people to state the problem and write down their proffered problem statements. Monitor the group responses to the ideas: sometimes one participant's way of stating the problem will resonate with the group, other times you will have to use voting or some other technique to prioritize the problems. At this and every other point, be explicit about getting the group to agree to the process. If you're going to vote, get consensus that voting is okay: otherwise find another way of coming to a choice.
It is key that you be sure the group understands that, while there may be many pressing problems, nothing will get done if they don't work on one problem at a time. They are only selecting the first one to work on, not the one and only one that they will ever get a chance to do anything about.
Once they've agreed to work on a problem, use a similar process to get them to agree on an approach to solving the problem. As you gain experience and knowledge as a facilitator, you will have a number of tools in your toolbox that you can offer as problem solving approaches. But I find it best to see if there are ideas from within the group. They will have greater understanding and ownership of something they're familiar with, and we cannot overemphasize the importance of buy-in.
In the Tao Te Ching, Lao Tzu says, "Of the best leader, when the job is done the people say 'we did it ourselves.'
At every opportunity, the skilled facilitator risks the group not recognizing her contribution by letting them provide not only all the content input but as much process input as possible. Besides, I find this is a great way for me to learn new techniques!
However you arrive at your objectives (problem statement) and agenda (way of proceeding), once you have them posted, get the group to agree to them. Give them a chance to add or modify objectives and agenda items. Once the group has agreed to the objectives and agenda, don't let participants stray from them for very long without asking the group to either return to working on them or explicitly agree to changes in them.

By the time Susan Blech was 38 years old, she weighed a staggering 468.1 pounds. She binged. She was "only a little chubby," or so she convinced herself.
Gripping, sometimes shocking, and ultimately inspiring, Confessions of a Carb Queen is the story of how Susan changed her life to save her life, ultimately losing 250 pounds without surgery.
Susan speaks candidly about eating binges, fat sex, and other topics no obese person has dared to address as she recounts her transformation from a vulnerable woman to one charged with willpower and courage. Her powerful story is a blend of memoir, advice, and delicious, health-conscious recipes that will inspire all who listen to it.

There are no listener reviews for this title yet.
"Negative reviews are ridiculous."
There are a lot of negative written reviews, but the star rating is higher than the ratings for the books these reviewers preferred to this book. This book was, indeed, rather outrageous in the sense that I wouldn't gift it to an Amish person or someone who wears their underwear up to their ribs, but it was not in any way, horrible. Sure, Susan has major problems in this book, how else would she get to be nearly 500 lbs? She has a messed up, cranky dad and an invalid and absent mother who was never able to set an example for her. She doesn't behave like normal people, she is addicted to food like other people are addicted to cocaine or heroine. Food ruins her life every day, gets in the way of her relationships with other people, and she is sad inside. She has problems with men, mostly because she has no respect for herself. There are millions of people out there with problems like this or even worse- they just don't spill their guts out about it and if they do, it is only about weight and how they lost it- not their life, too. Susan shares her crazy life, and frankly, it is a lot more interesting than the fact that she lost weight. The situations she gets herself into and the way she handles them are the whole point of this book. She is kind of a mess, and you will probably roll your eyes, but in the end- you realize you enjoyed yourself anyway.
"Best Memoir about being over weight!"
I think her tone/mood of the book really gives the reader, whether overweight or not, great inspiration.
The flow was nice regarding the history. She didn't jump back and forth confusing the reader.
When she realized that her online dating was almost "the same" as her over eating...just another addiction.
"insightful and great listen"
her courage and candor
Sue or the cook at the Clinic
You Cant Believe I ate the Whole Thing- and that was just the warm up
"Loved it!!"
Very candid! So relatable! Susan is brave to be so forthcoming. Must read for those struggling with food issues.
"Very good"
Great writing style...... Not the typical diet book..... Very motivating...... Very inspiring.... A must read
"Inspiring - a look inside an obese's womans life"
That I could relate with her and listen to what her thoughts were. That she was being open and honest. I really enjoyed the narrator and could visualize the things happening as she read.
"Not very inspiring, stereotypical, droning"
I'm sure someone who is extremely overweight may benefit from this book, who think surgery is the only way out, but even then, the diet she uses is not realistic.
I wouldn't recommend this book. I felt it was a bit over the top with the food obsession. I also felt it was negative, her attitude and thoughts even after the weight loss. I feel there was no revelation, nothing that made me think about it when I was deciding on eating healthy.
The diet she did isn't realistic, it works for her, that's great. It's very hard to relate to this book, I feel that she didn't really learn how to be healthy, if that makes sense.
There was nothing that made me think, made me realize anything. Tired of the poor me, the "you'll want me when I'm thin!" ... or people seemingly always pushing her down. Really? I don't want to hear this.
The sex/must find a man sections, come on. It sounds like she's a loser, with being promiscuous, and obsession about finding a man. Self-pity, constant, "I want to eat" and fast food sections ... really, it was annoying to hear. Food, food, food. Dreaming of food. Does anyone dream of food?
Her voice is very aggressive sounding, sadly, I felt "fat aggression" when I heard her read. I really disliked the monotone reading, I dreaded listening to this, but wanted to finish it. I didn't feel great, inspired after hearing this. I really just felt depressed.
The sex scenes or sex talk or dating sequences. I honestly don't see the use of it, other than showing overweight people have low-self esteem. And yet again and again she "dates" the wrong guy, nice, desperate overweight woman, stereotype. The seeking a man, as if you can only find a good man if you lose weight. Online dating, again and again, failure after failure. Ugh. Too much, then she finds a small penis, and decides she can't have sex with him? What a hypocrite.
The class part, where she wrote an essay, the end of the book, it's just like over and over again about how big she was. We get it. You need your dad's approval. We get it. Family issues, we get it.
The awkward moment she sees her sisters baby. Then the end, when now she's thinner and seems to judge the other overweigh clinic people beginning their journey. Hypocrite.
I really regret listening to this book, it just makes me feel like it's one big stereotype of overweight people. I recently got Andie Mitchell's book, "It was me all along." That book made me think and her revelations really made me think and have an epiphany. She didn't do any crazy diet, but losing weight with healthy eating and exercise. Her voice reading the book was inspiring, positive and made me want to hear more.
This book, I wouldn't recommend for anyone to really read, I wish I could un-listen to it.
The way she hated herself was hard to listen to....
It was not the performance, it was the content
Disgust at her self loathing....

Our Lady of the Lake College strives to be proactive through crime prevention education and strategies. Learn more about how you can ensure your safety and perhaps prevent crime from occurring on campus:
Three Basic Rules
Do stay alert. Keep your mind on your surroundings, who's in front of you and who's behind you. Don't get distracted. If you're worried about crime, ask a friend to accompany you when you go out.
Do communicate the message that you're calm, confident and know where you're going. Stand tall, walk purposefully and make eye contact with people around you.
Do trust your instincts! If you feel uncomfortable in a place or situation, leave.

Annually Domestic Violence Month is recognized in October and Sexual Assault Awareness Month is recognized in April. Both events are recognized on campus with awareness campaigns and educational literature. Topics include acquaintance rape, domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault and stalking.
Personal Safety and Crime Prevention
Most crimes, whether burglary or rape, are crimes of opportunity. Criminals look for the easiest targets and the least chance of getting caught. Your job, whether protecting yourself or your property, is to make the crime more difficult and risky for the perpetrator. Be vigilant, consistent and aware even for short trips.
General Tips
Always stop and think about the risk.
Do not wear clothes, backpacks or hairstyles that make you easy to grab.
Do not dig in your bag, read or dial your phone while walking. Hold your head up, walk with purpose and scan near and far with your eyes.
Always identify a visitor before opening the door.
Never accept a drink from a stranger or pick up a drink that has been out of your sight.
Never allow young children to open the door to visitors.
Always ask representatives to provide identification.
Avoid walking alone at night.
Don't leave backpacks or purses unattended anywhere.
Don't sleep near an open window during the night.
Don't wear expensive jewelry or flash cash.
Don't visit cash machines alone or at night.
When leaving your car with someone (mechanic, valet, friend) do not leave the key to your home on the ring.
Take a self defense course.
Never let anyone take you to a secondary location. Even if they have a knife or gun to your head, fight for your life.
While Walking
Plan the safest route to your destination and use it. Choose well-lit, busy pathways and streets, avoiding alleys, vacant lots or construction sites. Take a longer way if it is safest.
Know your neighborhood and the campus. Find out which buildings are open late (or early) and where to go to summon help if needed.
Carry your purse close to your body and keep a firm grip on it. Carry a wallet in an inside coat or trouser pocket, not in the rear trouser pocket.
Have your car or house key in hand and ready as you approach your vehicle or home.
Never hitchhike.
In the Car
Keep your car in good running condition to avoid a breakdown.
Plan your route in advance, particularly on long or unfamiliar trips. Have enough gas and money to get there and back.
Drive with all car doors locked. Keep windows rolled up whenever possible.
Never pick up hitchhikers.
Jogging, Biking and Other Outdoor Activities
Vary your jogging route and schedule.
Avoid jogging and biking at night.
Consider not wearing headphones.
Wear bright, reflective clothing.
Carry some form of identification.
Bike Security
Get a good bike lock. Don't waste your money on a cheap padlock and cable.
Lock your bike to a fixed object. Don't leave it unlocked even for a moment.

Hello everyone!
Today I took the plunge and became part of the forum as I am eager and excited learn about my wrx, and chat with other owners. My boyfriend 'G&C', who is also a member, referred me to this site and just bought an '04 wrx.
I have put down the deposit and am now waiting to receive the rest of the money to purchase a 2002 rally blue wrx as well. So far everything is stock, and has kind of high mileage (100k), but seems to be in really good condition, and carfax verified that it was well maintained by its previous owners.
I hope to do some mods to the car over time like switching out the spoiler for the STI wing, a larger hood scoop and putting eyelids on the car, but havent looked too much farther than the obvious aesthetics. Over time I hope to learn enough about the car to make smart upgrades, and that is why I am here .
