Breast Lift with or without implants
by Michael C. Edwards, MD, FACS
As part of the natural aging process, women lose skin elasticity in their breasts, gravity takes its toll, and breasts become less "perky". Other factors have an influence as well including genetics, pregnancy, breast-feeding, and weight loss can produce similar results.
When position, shape and firmness of the breasts change, some women may become unhappy with their appearance and wish to return to their more youthful look. In these cases, a breast lift or mastopexy can reduce or eliminate sagging, and, for women seeking enhancement in size, can be performed in conjunction with implants to increase the breasts' volume. The goal of a breast lift is to elevate the nipple to a higher position and to tighten the breast skin and tissue from below. If a loss of breast volume has also occurred, often the only way to regain this fullness is with the addition of a breast implant.
General Description
In most instances, a breast lift is performed under general anesthesia as an outpatient procedure, and lasts between one and three and a half hours. If implants are used, a little more time is typically required. There are three basic techniques used for breast lift surgery with or without implants: concentric mastopexy, vertical mastopexy, and anchor-shaped mastopexy. Breast implants are usually placed partially under chest muscle and can be saline-filled or the newer silicone gel-filled implants. Your plastic surgeon will be able to review these options with you.
A. Concentric Mastopexy
During concentric mastopexy, a circular incision made around the areola as well as a second inner circle to allow the areola to be made smaller. The size of the out circle depends on how much lift is to be performed. The skin between the two incisions is removed and the nipple and areola is repositioned upward. The surrounding larger circle is closed like a drawstring around the smaller areola. This most often requires a permanent suture to be placed under the skin to hold the "purse-string" closed.
Because there is a relatively small amount of skin removal, this technique will only work for women with smaller breasts and minimal sagging. If an implant is used, it can be placed through the same incisions, leaving the only scar around the areola.
B. Vertical Mastopexy
For more breast sagginess, the incision will need to be extended vertically down the midline of the breast from below the areola to the breast crease. This approach allows an additional strip of skin to be removed, giving your plastic surgeon the option of greater correction. The resulting scar will be around the areola and down the middle, sometimes called the lollipop scar.
C. Anchor-Shaped Mastopexy
This procedure allows for the most correction with or without an implant. An incision is made above the nipple in the shape of an anchor, with a circle at the top. This incision forms the shape of the new breast with the nipple placed in the circle at the top of the anchor, and the elliptical line at the bottom forming the lower contour. You may or may not have drains used and these can be removed in your plastic surgeon's office.
Recovery / Post Op Expectations
After your surgery, you will have dressings placed typically held in position with a surgical bra and/or an ace wrap. Bruising, swelling, pain, and discomfort will be experienced for the first few days depending on the type of surgery you had and medication will be prescribed to help lessen the effects. Your plastic surgeon will review with you what your activity restrictions and post-operative care will involve are but they typically involve no heavy lifting for up to six weeks and a slow return to physical activity depending upon the extent of your surgery.
Potential Complications or Adverse Outcomes
Although your plastic surgeon's goals are to provide you with a safe and successful outcome, as with any major surgery, complications are a real possibility. Adverse reaction to anesthesia, infection, and blood clots are possible with any surgery. In addition, mastopexy carries with it some risks that patients should be aware of prior to surgery, including:
- Asymmetry (left and right not being the same)
- Change in sensation of the nipple and/or breast tissue
- Potential poor healing of the nipple and areola due to decreased blood supply
- Scarring
- Irregularity in nipple position
- Discoloration of skin and nipple
When implants are being used in conjunction with a lift, additional risks including implant leakage and interference with mammograms are possible. Your plastic surgeon will review the care of your breasts and implants to include the need for continued monthly self breast exam and mammography.
Who is a candidate?
Any patient with excess sagginess of their breasts with a desire to have some correction and/or increased fullness. Though surgery does not usually interfere with breast-feeding, it is best to not have surgery if you plan on becoming pregnant in the future as this could negate the results of surgery. Your weight should be relatively stable and if you smoke, your plastic surgeon will require that you are free from any exposure to tobacco products for two to four weeks before and after surgery to decrease the risks of complications.

Unexpected Brand/Product Mashups Demonstrate People's Trust In Logos [Pics]
Designer Ilya Kalimulin's series of images imagines a world where brands like Durex and Lipton created unexpected brand spin-offs.
When Google started out in 1996, no one would have ever dreamed that the company would be making augmented reality glasses in 2013. Brands generally must go beyond their initial offering to create new products that continue to attract new consumers to them. Now, Russian designer Ilya Kalimulin has imagined unusual products that trusted brands could be making that would completely change the opinion people had of those companies.
He placed the trademark colors of M&Ms onto bullets and created a cigarette box with Lipton Tea branding. It is a bizarre and curious project and commentary on the pervasive, and recognizable nature of branding.

OXFORD, Miss. (AP) -- Ole Miss guard Clarence Sanders admitted he would not be opposed to playing against Tennessee more often.
Sanders scored 20 points, 18 in the second half, as Ole Miss rallied to defeat Tennessee 83-69 Wednesday.
The junior guard was the key figure in a 20-2 run midway through the second half that helped the Rebels erase a 51-44 deficit. The performance was an impressive follow-up to last season's meeting, when Sanders scored a career-high 29 points against the Vols.
"I wouldn't mind," said Sanders, when asked if he would like to play against Tennessee each game. "It's just worked out that I've been able to get good looks against them and make some shots."
While Sanders was able to ignite a decisive rally for the Rebels (13-7, 2-4), the Vols went without a field goal for more than five minutes and were unable to pull closer than nine points in the final six minutes.
"We have a formula for losing games on the road - against Vanderbilt, Auburn and now Ole Miss," Tennessee coach Bruce Pearl said. "Sanders is a streaky shooter and he was able to make some big shots."
Tennessee (14-6, 2-3) played without Chris Lofton, the SEC's leading scorer at 21.5 points per game, who injured his ankle in the second half of last Saturday's win over South Carolina. His status for Saturday's game at Kentucky is undetermined.
"Chris is the leading scorer in the SEC and the leading three-point shooter," Pearl said. "You take away an All-American from a team, any team and there are some pretty good holes in that cheese."
The Vols shot well enough in the first half that Lofton was hardly missed. Tennessee led 38-28 at halftime, closing the half with a 25-7 run that included 6-of-7 from three-point range.
"They got us out of synch with their defense and shot lights out from three-point range," Ole Miss coach Andy Kennedy said. "On our part, we just weren't making shots. In the second half, we were able to get on a roll."
The 20-2 run gave Ole Miss an insurmountable 64-58 lead with 7:08 left. Sanders hit five consecutive shots in the surge, accounting for 13 points and an assist, capping it with a three-point shot.
Sanders was 2-of-11 from the field before going on the hot streak, which he called, "just finally calming down and not rushing my shot. I had the same looks in the first half, but I just stopped rushing it."
"You just shake your head when he shoots," Kennedy said. "He does some unusual things with his shot, but when he gets going, he can do what you saw tonight."
Dwayne Curtis had 18 points and nine rebounds, while Bam Doyne had 13 and Todd Abernethy 10 for the Rebels. Tennessee was led by JaJuan Smith with 22 points, while Ramar Smith had 16 and Josh Tabb added 11.
Ole Miss hot 30-of-63, 48 percent, from the field and outrebounded the Vols, 40-34. Tennessee was 25-of-59 from the field, including 15-of-31 from Smith and Smith.
The Vols finished 10-of-27 from three-point range, but were only 3-of-13 in the second half. Tennessee has lost four of its last five.
The game marked the second straight for the Rebels in which they reeled off a second-half run where they outscored the opposition by 18 points. On the road against top-ranked Florida Saturday, Ole Miss ran off a 29-11 run that pulled the team within seven points, but the Rebel comeback would get no closer.

Happy New Year NBTians
Kuch MM Shayaris post kar rahi hoon. Hope you will like it.
Tera hona ab zarurat h meri
Tujhe pana ab chahat h meri
Rehna tu sada saath mere
Tere saath hi to duniya jannat h meri
Aapko khone ka har pal dar laga rehta hai
Jab ki aapko paaya hi nahi
Tum bin itna tanha hoon main
Ki mere saath mera saaya bhi nahi
Raat aye jab sham k baad
Unki yaad aye har baat ke baad
Hum ne khamosh rehkar dekha
Unki aawaz aye har saans ke baad
Tere har inkaar mein iqraar nazar aata hai
Teri har muskurahat pe dil fida ho jaata hai
Is masoom chehre ki kya taarif karun
Jisme to mere dil ka haal nazar aata hai
Aankho k saamne har dum aapko paya hai
Dil me bhi aapko hi basaya hai
Aap k bin hum jiyenge kaise
Bhala jaan bina bhi koi jee paya hai
When Mohan is leaving Juna Mohalla
Is qadar gum ne humein loota hai
Aansoo tak ne hamara saath choda hai
Sabhi hain bedard yahan zamane mein
Jise dil me basaya usi ne dil toda hai
After dance sequence at farm house/ When Mohan gets call from Ridz after Megha's confession
Pal pal tarsa hu is pal k liye
Ye pal aaya bhi to kuch pal k liye
Socha tha ise zindagi ka ek hasin pal bana lu
Par ye pal thehra bhi to kuch pal k liye
Khuda ne sapne me kaha
Apne gamon ki yun numaish na kar
Apne naseeb ki yun aajmaish na kar
Jo tera hai, tere dar par khud aayega
Roz roz use paane ki khwaish na kar...
After Mohan realises his feelings for Megha
Jaane kyun is jahan mein aisa hota hai
Khushi jise mile wohi rota hai
Umar bhar saath nibha na sake jo
Jaane kyun pyar usi se hota hai
After Megha says "Mujhe Pyar Karo"
Ishq ne hame benaam kar diya
Har khushi se hame anjaan kar diya
Humne kabhi nahi chaha ki ishq hame bhi ho
Par teri ek nazar ne hamare is iraade ko badnaam kar diya
Badi gehrai se chaha hai tujhe
Badi duaon se paaya hai tujhe
Sochun bhi to kaise
Kismet ki lakeeron se churaya hai tujhe
Waiting for your comments...

Seven [Blu-ray] [] [1997] [1 disc] [Region 1] [794043138423]
1 disc
Region 1 USA/CA (
Theatrical release: September 22, 1995. Shot in Los Angeles, California; New York City, New York; and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Screenwriter Andrew Kevin Walker wrote SEVEN while working as a manager at New York's Tower Records. An original opening sequence features Somerset (Morgan Freeman) looking at a house in the country as a future home. While walking through the house, he cuts the print of a flower from the wallpaper and keeps it. Later, at the Mills apartment, he drops the paper flower, and Tracy Mills (Gywneth Paltrow) makes reference to it. Both of these scenes were cut from the final film. Many works of literature are referred to in the film, including writings by Milton, Chaucer, Dante, and Shakespeare. Richard Roundtree (SHAFT) appears in the film as a district attorney. Brad Pitt and Gywneth Paltrow became romantically involved around the time of the movie's filming. Pitt severed a tendon in his hand when he fell during the rainy chase sequence. In audio commentary on the SEVEN DVD, he explains, "So as I'm pushing myself outta this smashed windscreen, I put one hand down on the edge, then I got up and started chasing John Doe down the street. It wasn't 'til I got 'round the corner that I thought: 'Oops, something went wrong....' I ended up cutting a tendon, a nerve through three fingers....It was the only time I saw Finch go green....It was not pretty." The cast he wore for the injury was worked into subsequent scenes. Pitt's contract stated that the film's grim ending could not be changed by the studio. Richmond Arquette, brother of Patricia, Rosanna, David, and Alexis, appears as the deliveryman near the end of the film. He also plays a hospital intern in Fincher's FIGHT CLUB. Real police officers were used as technical advisers on the film. The Los Angeles Film Critics Association voted Kevin Spacey the runner-up for best supporting actor for his body of work in 1995. Howard Shore was the runner-up for best music. SEVEN was one of the surprise hits of the year, taking in more than $95 million at the U.S. box office. Many in the film industry didn't think the film would be so successful because of its grim story line--and (in some people's opinion) a less attractive Brad Pitt. The film opens with "Closer to God" by Nine Inch Nails (as remixed by Coil) and closes with "The Heart's Filthy Lesson" by David Bowie. Beware: Spoilers! Kevin Spacey was supposed to receive top billing along with Pitt and Freeman at the beginning of the film, but the actor insisted that his name not appear in the opening credits in order to surprise the audience with the killer's identity. To compensate, Spacey is listed first in the closing credits. An unfilmed alternate ending features Somerset shooting John Doe. When Mills yells "What are you doing?" Somerset says, "I'm retiring."

Imagine the unnamed victim's surprise when she checked her Facebook page and found the picture of the thief, blowing out smoke after taking a hit of marijuana. What the dope-y criminal didn't know was that the victim had set up her phone to send all of her snapshots directly to her Facebook wall. And while the guy is still free at the moment, it probably won't be too long before he is cuffed and taken away by one of New York's Finest.

Speaking from bitter experience, no amount of extra resources or specially trained teachers will make mainstream schooling the proper place for a child with a condition such as autism (This charming vision of inclusion isn't working, January 11). My daughter spent six years in a highly regarded London mainstream primary. Yet every day involved being mocked by a significant number of her peers and ignored by the rest. Only by leaving London has my daughter obtained a place in a special school, where, for the first time, she has found acceptance and friendship. The playground not the classroom is where "inclusion" will always face its real test.
Norman Miller
My son is six, with a diagnosis of Asperger's syndrome and ADHD. He has attended the local state primary - Greasby infants - since reception. Thanks to the hard work and dedication of the excellent staff he has progressed extremely well and is learning to cope in a mainstream classroom. I was overjoyed when, at one of our regular meetings with the head and his teacher, she described my son as having "enriched our school". I feel my son and his school are a wonderful example of how a school and parents working together can make a success of special needs. I refuse to believe that private provision could be any better.
Peter Harrison
Wirral, Cheshire
It would be wrong to abandon the policy of inclusion altogether. Inclusion is about meeting the needs of every individual child. What is needed is real, sustained financial commitment, from both the government and councils to make the policy work. Jenni Russell rightly raises concerns about statementing. However, statements can act as a safeguard for children and parents, identifying the support they need to progress well at school. Our "make school make sense" campaign demands a range of provision, training for all teachers and autism-friendly schools.
Benet Middleton
National Autistic Society
Our recent GB-wide parent survey - with nearly 1,800 respondents - found that while some parents do have deep concerns about special needs provision, the overall picture is of generally high satisfaction. Importantly, there was no simple link between placement (special/mainstream) and satisfaction with provision or support. Such findings endorse the call by the Commons select committee on special educational needs for local flexibility, underpinned by a national framework for SEN provision.

" Brand: Nirvana Spa / Texture: Cream / Type: Body Cream / Subcategory: Body Milk "
I know the point of moisturisers is simply to moisturise. However as someone who doesnt have particularly dry skin a key point for me is they smell nice which is why I picked out this one as it sounded quite appealing. Smell wise Im satisfied unfortunatly on the moisturising front I feel this almost does the reverse for me!
The body cream looks much like you see in the picture however the cream doesnt look as pink as photographed, its more of a very pale pink. The tub is a very simple design, clear with a black lid. The lid has a hot pink circle with black writing which states what it is, whos its by and has some strange blurb about a raspberry moon and a wise man. It would look nice displayed on your dressing table or bathroom counter.
Although its called raspberry milkshake I wouldnt say this smells like either. It has a sweet, fruity scent but I cant identify it to a particular fruit. The smell isnt hugely long lasting like some moisturisers I have used nor does the scent seem to fill the room like perfume as I've found with some!
Its quite liquidy when you apply it, almost melting onto the skin. Rubbing it in it feels slightly greasy but it does dry quickly. However once dried I stroke my skin on areas I've applied it either feels like I havent moisturised at all or on occasion drier than when i started.
Looking online I cant find any place that stocks this at the moment! You can however still get unused tubs on ebay going for around £1-£2.
As mentioned in a previous review of an NSPA body cream, im not too fussy with products like this - I just need to like the price and the smell and I buy it.
One of my many products that I've been using recently is the NSPA raspberry milkshake body cream.
NSpa products you can purchase from Asda, I've never bought them singly though so can't comment on price as I've only ever bought sets to treat myself.
This particular product comes in a dinky 75ml see through plastic tub so you can see the pale pink cream inside, with a black screw off lid.
Screwing off the lid you are instantly met by this delicious fruity scent, sweet yet not sickly so, with a hint of mild creamyness to. Are they sure this is body cream? It smells good enough to eat, or drink? It really does smell deliciously fruity and is a pleasure to rub into my skin.
I find with these body creams they appear quite thick when scooping them out of the tub but they absorb lovely into the skin and the scent remains for a little while which is a plus. Despite the initital thick feeling of the body cream it smooths into my skin with ease, smothering it's fruity scent all over my skin and sinking into my skin fairly quickly. The fact the fruity scent remains on your skin is pleasing as now and then I get this fruity whiff and know it's coming from me, which I like. Although the other scented body cream I reviewed I really didnt like I would reccomend trying this one out if you do like fruity scents as this really does smell delicious.
I first came across N-Spa when I was shopping in Asda. Looking at the size if the product and the price made me take a closer look. After smelling the products I just couldn't say no! N-Spa have a range if bath products with different kind of scents that are mainly fruity. After smelling all the scents I stuck with the raspberry milkshake body cream, and this is exactly what it smelt of.
You can pick up the body creams from Asda for around £3 which is in a round see through container. It has a black lid. The cream it's self is a very pale pink colour. On top of the lid is the name and the scent if the product followed by a little story quote. These quotes are different with each scent. Each tub holds 250ml of the body cream.
I love the scent of this product. I've tried raspberry scents before, and you can really tell where the milkshake comes in with this one. It smells really fruity and sweet and you can smell it as soon as you open the product when I apply the product to my skin it leaves it very smooth, but I do sometimes have to re-apply the cream in my hands as they get dry again. But it does seem to have a little bit of a thinner consistency to other moisturisers.
I really do like this product personally and feel that you really do get your money's worth! Be sure that you like the smell before you use it though, as it does stay on your skin for quote a while, but that's why I like it.
I was given a few n-spa products for Christmas and was excited to use items from a brand I'd never used before.
One of the items I received was this n-spa raspberry milkshake body cream. I do really love using moisturisers on my entire body one a week. I don't have the time to do this more regularly and so relish the chance to enhance the feel of my skin and give it a little TLC. There are a few brands which I am pretty loyal to and if I run out these will be the ones I buy from. However, when given gifts I do like to receive something I've never tried before as I enjoy testing out new products (and writing reviews about them!).
The cream comes in a clear plastic pot with a black plastic lid. The pot is round and relatively shallow, the black lid twists on and off and inside the pot is the pinky coloured cream. On the lid there is a hot pink coloured sticker with the brand and the product name, a slightly weird quote about a raspberry moon and on the reverse of the pot are directions and ingredients. I like the design overall, though it is simply it still looks nice. I actually think this product looks better alongside other n-spa products as they have the same colour scheme and design and this enhances the overall aesthetic. However, I would not be reluctant to display this in my bathroom as it have a nice look to it.
The cream itself has an instantly overwhelming and distinct smell to it. I have to say it smells absolutely nothing like real fresh raspberries, which is such a shame because I love fruity smelling products that have really strong fresh smells. This, however, smells more like what I imagine Barbie's dream house to smell like. It has a really insipid, overly sweet smell which is generically fruity and synthetic but not actually the smell of any particular or real fruit. This does really put me off the product as I would rather it had no smell than have this super sweet smell which does not smell like fruit or milkshake. However, it wouldn't totally put me off using the product and as I have a full pot I continued to use it.
The cream itself is very lightweight and thin in consistency. it isn't so liquid that it would flow but when applied to the sink it melts almost instantly and becomes very thin and almost watery. This does mean that it soaks in almost straight away but I come away feeling as though I've not even really moisturised - except that the smell lingers and therefore I know I have. I am a lover of really thick creams so this is probably not to my taste but for those of you that like a thin cream it may well suit you better.
The pot holds a decent amount of the cream and will probably last me for ages. It is a bit annoying that it has such a horrible fake smell and thin consistency because otherwise I liked the design and the look of the cream.
I can't recommend it on a personal level because I hate two major aspects about it but for those of you looking for a lightweight cream it might suit you better than me.
*** "Imagine," said the wise man, "that the moon was made of raspberry. Would all socks be pink and all flowers meringue? Perhaps... and when evening falls shall we slide down the crescent laughing as we splash into warm waters of sweet milk, how enchanting life would be." ***
I am not sure who the wise man is but his little wise sayings used to grace the packaging of every N-Spa product! The above is the story that was on the lid of the raspberry milkshake body cream.
Price check
N-Spa products are sold via the Nirvana Spa website or exclusively via Asda, and I bought this recently when I discovered that the products were selling cheaply on the Asda website, and I picked this up for just £1. However, I've just noticed that the entire range has been rebranded and repackaged, which is obviously why the products were being sold cheaply. So I am not sure how the new raspberry lotion will compare to this - however I imagine you may still be able to pick this up in store so I hope this review may still be useful!
In terms of appearance, this tub is the same as other body lotions such as Body Shop body butters. However the product inside is very different in that you can tell just to look at it that it is a thinner cream - more of a lotion than a thicker body butter.
Sweet and fruity
The smell of the cream is delicious I think - very sweet and definitely like raspberries - and actually it is a lot like the fragrance of the Body Shop raspberry body butter - which incidentally costs £12.50 - so over 12 times more than I paid for this one! However as I say the texture of this cream is a lot lighter and thinner.
Rubbing it into the skin it does take a little longer to rub in than other lotions - it doesn't just sink or melt into the skin like other lotions I've used. However it does make the skin feel really soft, and the smell is just gorgeous! It is a very nice summery fragrance and it makes this really pleasant to use.
After applying this, my skin feels nicely moisturised and the smell is very evident although it does wear off over the course of the day.
In summary ...
Even for £3 I think this is a great body cream. It smells delicious and fruity and it does moisturise skin nicely. It isn't as rich as other products and it probably wouldn't be much use on very dry skin. However as a light, fruity lotion it really is very nice - and the fact that I got it for £1 is an added bonus! Let's hope the new look product compares just as well to this - I look forward to reading some reviews on here soon!
N-Spa is a brand I have become more and more familiar with. Their products are stocked in ASDA, and consist of lovely bath products in a range of scents that are good enough to eat. I often get a lot of these for Christmas and birthday presents from family as I am quite a fan of the products. I have tried out a few of the raspberry milkshake goodies before and really enjoyed them, so I was thrilled when I saw this body cream was given to me as a gift.
I am unsure as to the actual price of this as I received it for free, but I'm pretty sure it was around the £2 - £3 mark which isn't too bad for a lot of body cream. It is definitely a better bargain in comparison to other body care products such as The Body Shop's creams, so I think all in all it is quite cheap if you were treating yourself or someone as a gift. Because of the price, it also means you can afford to dabble in some of the other items in the range.
I love the packaging of this, it reminds me of the Anatomicals brand whereas this is much more affordable. This body cream comes in a tub, so reminded me a little more of a body butter. The tub is pink in colour and contains all the necessary information, as well as delivering a nice little quote for you to read, which I think is nice and adds a little something extra. You get 250ml worth of product in this tub, and the cream itself is an off white, very pale pink shade in colour.
Personally, I really like the scent of this however I know it would not be to everyone else's taste. It is an extremely sweet and fruity scent, and having tried raspberry scented products before, this one really stands out as you can see where the milkshake part of the name comes into it. It really does smell like a lovely smoothie, and when you open it up and have a whiff it's good enough to eat. However, did I like the smell as much when it had been applied to my skin?
This is easy to apply due to the consistency of it. I find that it is quite a bit runnier than some other creams I have used, but this means you don't have to spend hours rubbing it in. I like to apply this with my hands directly to the skin, and I focus on areas such as my stomach, arms and legs the most. You only need a little scoop of this into your fingertips to deliver good results, and I did find that if you used too much it gives quite a sticky and unpleasant feeling on the skin. This applied with ease, and I was really happy with it.
Despite loving the scent and first, and despite the application process going really well, I did find that I was not so happy with the overall results. Firstly, after you have applied it to your whole body, you really do smell of raspberries... a lot! Sometimes a scent can be just too sweet, and it didn't seem to die down for hours and hours, which I found quite unpleasant. The cream did soak into my skin nicely, however I felt that it left quite a sticky feeling on the skin, which doesn't make it nice when you put your clothes over it. My skin was definitely more moisturised and felt silky smooth which was great, meaning it does work, but I just felt that there are some things which could really be improved with this body cream.
A decent body cream if you are after a bargain. It leaves the skin feeling wonderfully smooth, but the smell really is quite sweet once all over your skin, and can leave the skin feeling sticky for a while after application. I will continue to use up my tub of this, but I am not sure if I would go out and buy this myself. It was a decent body cream considering it was free as a gift for me. Thanks for reading and I hope this helps.
If you've read my other reviews on this N-Spa raspberry milkshake range you will know my dad gave them to me in a hamper, along with the shower and bath gel and the body scrub, I received the body cream. I've reviewed the other two so thought it was only fair this one got reviewed too!
The 250ml body cream comes in a transparent round tub with a black twistable lid. The lid has a big round pink label with the product name and a weird quote that all of the N-Spa products seem to have. This quote is about a moon being made out of raspberries and pink socks and a whole load of random nonsense.
The tub is easy to open, a couple of turns and you are greeted with a subtle raspberry scent, it smells very fruity! The cream is baby pink in colour and looks like it has a thick consistency. I don't tend to use this after every shower, however I do use it after shaving my legs or using body scrub as my skin needs a moisture boost. When taking some of the cream out of the tub the illusion of a thick consistency soon disappears and it is a lot runnier than I first thought. Not much of the product is needed as if too much is used it leaves skin feeling sticky for a while until it all absorbs. I tend to use about a 50 pence piece sized blob to do each leg, this usually leaves my skin feeling soft and smooth and absorbs after I've rubbed it in. After the product has been applied, I find that the fruity raspberry scent lingers for a few hours, but soon disappears which is a disappointment.
The N-Spa range is currently available from Asda, and this raspberry milkshake body cream will set you back £2.
I don't think I'll be purchasing this body cream, it was okay as a gift and I will continue to use it until I've finished the tub but the runny consistency and lack of scent after use lets it down.
My Mum wanted some body cream, and while browsing in the toiletries aisle in ASDA, I came across the N-Spa bodycare range. I liked the sound of the Raspberry Milkshake range of products which also includes a body scrub and bath/shower gel, so on that basis I selected the body cream. My 250 ml container set me back £2.98 which is about average for a product of it's type.
N-Spa is a range of bodycare products developed by the Nirvana Spa. According to the website the Fruit range, which features the Raspberry Milkshake line, promises to tantilise my senses and provide my body and mind with a reviving experience. Other fragrances in the range include Coconut Ice Cream and Blueberry Cream Pie.
This body cream comes presented in a plastic tub with a black screw top lid. The jar is not completely transparent, but I can see the body cream inside which I think is good because I can see how much cream is left at a glance. The jar is a nice touch as it is less wasteful than a bottle or tube, providing the product inside is any good of course.
There is a dark pink sticker adorning the lid which informs me that this is Raspberry Milkshake body cream. There is a verse printed underneath telling me what the world would be like if moon was made of raspberry, including flowers made of meringue and pink socks! In my opinion, as a consumer, I would rather know what this cream is supposed to do for my skin.
The bottom of the jar still doesn't tell me what I can expect from this body cream. It merely invites me to make time in my day to turn my bathroom into a blissful spa. I'm then given the all important usage directions to apply a generous amount of the cream after my bath or shower. There is a warning that this isn't a food product and should not be eaten. Apart from that, there's the ingredients list and contact details for the Nirvana Spa.
Once opened this body cream should be used within 12 months of opening.
~First Impressions~
On opening the jar, which is really easy to open, I am greeted with a pale pink cream which resembles and smells like raspberry yoghurt. Thankfully N-Spa has put a warning on the container that this is not a food product, and based on appearance and the smell, I would definitely store this product away from young children who could think this is really raspberry yoghurt and try eating it.
~Using it~
I apply this body cream after my shower or bath. This product has a nice creamy consistency which I felt was just right, again I am thinking about thick raspberry yoghurt. It is neither too thin that it drips all over the bathroom floor, and not so thick that it's difficult to apply which I have found with some body butters I've tried. My skin isn't overly dry, but I like to use a body moisturiser sometimes for a pampering treat.
The cream was easy to apply, and I found that a small amount of this product went a long way, so I disagree with N-Spa's suggestion that this cream should be applied generously. This I felt was just as well, as my skin felt sticky for a while afterwards, which I didn't like.
~The result~
Once the stickiness subsided I ended up with nice soft and smooth skin. Normally, I would be impressed with a body cream if a nice fragrance lingered on my skin the day after my bath or shower, but this product left me smelling like, you guessed it, raspberry yoghurt which didn't exactly tantalise my senses. The smell was nice initially but the novelty soon wore off and then it got on my nerves.
Other than the stickiness and the fragrance issues, I didn't experience any other negative effects using this cream such as a skin irritation.
I think it goes without saying that I can't recommend this cream. While it left me with soft skin in the end, I felt that it didn't perform any better than other products on the market. In addition I've used other products which have not left me feeling sticky while it absorbed into my skin.
Then there's the issue of the fragrance, some fruity fragrances do work, for example I adore Lush Snow Fairy shower gel, which I think smells divine. I do however draw the line at smelling like I'm wearing the contents of the yoghurt aisle of the local supermarket.
I'm just glad I didn't buy the shower/bath gel as well as I imagine the raspberry yoghurt effect have been amplified all the more if I'd used them together. So it's not exactly my idea of a blissful spa experience, and I reserve this cream for those times I run out of moisturiser and I am not going out the next day. Needless to say, I won't be buying this body cream again. Accordingly, I award the N-Spa Raspberry Milkshake body cream a 2 star rating.

NSPA Raspberry Milkshake Body Cream
I was on my lunch brake and I wanted to stop bye at Asda to see what they had in stock of the N-spa range . I was very happy to see that they have got a few bits in and that they are all reduced in price .
The N-SPA Raspberry Milkshake Body Cream was only £2.00 I was very happy to try out this item as it smells so lush just like the bath and shower gel .
I have used other n-spa body creams befor and I was very happy with them. I would not say they are the best I have had but I like to use them as they are cheap to get hold of and they come as a set that would be good as a gift or a treat .
The NSPA Raspberry Milkshake Body Cream it self is very soft and rubs very fast in to the skin you dont have to use a lot of it but I like to as it leaves my skin so soft and relaxed and helps me to unwinde after a long day .
The tub has a twist of lid so is easy to open in the tub you get 250 mls of the cream. On the under side of the tub you will find the ingredients and the directions. I will not go in to them as you can read them your self if you want to try it out as I did .
This is a very good item and I would give it as a gift or keep it for myself !!!
Thanks for reading my review
Dave x
Alongside the "N-SPA fruit" range of body scrubs I love so much, there are also matching lotions too.
So when I went on my weekly shopping expedition to Asda last week I was more than pleased to see that all the range is now on offer, "2 for £5.00".
After much consideration, ok I was blinded by how many new "flavours" there are now, I choose a new scrub (review coming) and a nice smelling body lotion from the range.
The body lotion I will now review is - "N-SPA fruit, raspberry milkshake body cream"
The pot itself is much bigger than bog standard body creams, more like the pots you would get the body butters in, this made me hopeful of the quality of the product within.
The pot is clear with the product being visible within, the lid is a screw design and black in colour. All the products in this range have a fun if somewhat curious paragraph on them this being -
"Imagine, said the wise man, that the moon was made of raspberry. Would all socks be pink and all flowers meringue? Perhaps... and when evening falls shall we slide down the crescent laughing as we splash into warm waters of sweet milk, how enchanting life would be."
No I have no idea what it means either, but it beats the standard don't it!
When removing the lid be careful as there is no inner film covering, so if anyone has messed with it, or you have dropped it, the cream will all be stuck on the inside of the lid. I lost half a pot last time due to this fact!
The smell is delicious, though not a true raspberry scent, more like a raspberry sweet scent. The lotion is thick and a pale pink colour, though once emulsified between your hands this goes into a translucent colour very quickly.
Simply rub between your hands a small amount, around the size of a ten pence piece. I find warm the cream slightly between your hands helps the cream absorb into the skin a little easier and quicker.
I have to say I am little disappointed with this cream, at first glance it looks very thick meaning that my skin should be getting a nice lathering of product, once rub onto said skin it immediately becomes much slacker in consistency, thus not giving me the moisture boost I was wishing for.
My skin at first feels smooth enough, but after an hour it's almost like my skin needs another application as it feels as dry as it did when I first got out of the shower.
Other peoples opinion may well differ, as my skin is reasonably dry anyway, but after shaving the skin on my legs almost feel brittle and scaly to the touch. The upside though that unlike some stronger scented creams, this doesn't sting when being applied.
The tub contains 250ml of cream and in my use it lasts a good two weeks, I will say though another parts of my body it does fare a little better, but I still would prefer the thick consistency to remain when applying.
The scent of course was the big thing also for me, the scent does linger for a little while after application and doesn't interfere with any other scented product I use.
At normal price this will set you back around £2.97, mine being purchased, as I mentioned earlier, as part of a deal in Asda.
Other "flavours" available include -
Crème brulee
Apple mint crunch,
And the newest product which is the delicious sounding caramel.
All the flavours are available in cream, body scrub and bath foam.

Home > News & Events > News > Articles > Howard Praises Australia's Close Relations with China and the U.S.
China's rapid economic expansion is having beneficial impacts that stretch far beyond its own borders, according to former Australian Prime Minister John Howard. Howard delivered the Fisher Family lecture last night at the John F. Kennedy Jr. Forum.
"We take the view that China's growth has not only been good for China, but it is good for the whole world," Howard said. "We think it is remarkably good thing to see a nation of such size and history to be developing economically and in the process lifting tens of millions of people out of poverty."
China, Howard said, is at the "center of the shift" of the world's middle class, with the World Bank estimating that by 2030 some 500 million middle-class citizens will live in the Asia-Pacific region.
And Howard argued that China's remarkable economic growth will eventually begin to force changes its political structure, saying that "it is impossible to remain economically liberal and politically authoritarian."
The former prime minister also praised Australia's longstanding alliance with the U.S., calling it "deep and rich and old."
"The things that we have in common are the values of respect for individual liberty and freedom and our passion for democracy and our view that democratic forms will be embraced by all the people of the world who have the opportunity to experience them," he said.

Hannity Gives GOP Freshmen More Than 13 Minutes To Speak Through Fox News
Blog ››› ››› KAREN FAMIGHETTI
Tuesday night, Sean Hannity turned over two segments of his Fox News show totaling more than 13 minutes to a focus group of freshman Republican members of the House of Representatives, led by Republican strategist Frank Luntz.
The segments provided the GOP lawmakers with what amounted to free advertising time: free rein to tout their efforts at "changing the culture of Washington," to defend their votes on budget measures, and to criticize Harry Reid for preventing them from cutting even more than they did. Watch:
The second segment was largely more of the same, at one point devolving into a panegyric from Luntz on the "seriousness" of Rep. Allen West, and West defending his voting record. Hannity ended the segment by offering to invite the Congressmembers back to do the same thing "every month or two." Watch:
In total, the two segments covered 13 minutes and 39 seconds of Hannity's show.
As the 2012 election starts to take shape, Fox News appears set on reprising its role as the communications arm of the GOP. Fox has long been home to softball interviews for Republican candidates and elected officials, who are given the chance to speak through Fox, and Hannity often serves as a one man clean-up crew for Republicans who need a sympathetic outlet following a controversy. Multiple Republicans have been up-front about their reliance on Hannity for a sympathetic platform and have used his show to fundraise and attack their opponents.

CE from Mobile AL writes "Can you use an external hard drive on different computers, so that you can store things on both computers to the external hard drive?"
Hi, CE. Thanks for the great question!
The answer to your question is not only "yes", but that this is a great way to save space on your main hard drive and keep Windows running at optimum speed by not junking up the hard drive. It also helps if you have multiple computers that you regularly use (for instance, for many years I used a desktop at home and a laptop when I was on the go) and need to share files between them
External hard drives come in two basic flavors. You have your portable external hard drive
which is portable, made from a laptop hard drive, tops out around 3 TB and a little more expensive than the desktop version. You always pay more for portability.
Then you have the desktop version
which is not portable (because it needs external power), is made from one or more desktop hard drives, a quick search brought me desktop external drives up to 20 TB and is a little less expensive on a dollar per GB basis. Which one you choose will depend upon your needs. For instance, I used to use mine to keep my stories on so that I could write in the break room at lunch, and it would not have been convenient for me to find power for it, so I used a portable drive, which powers through USB.
One quick point of clarification, however. If by storing "things" you mean music and videos and documents, then it works great. If by "things" you mean programs, then I will caution you that programs stored on an external hard drive don't always work on any computer other than the one that you used when you initially installed the program on the external hard drive. The reason for this is that a program will frequently write bits to your computer's registry, and when you go to run them on another computer, they won't be able to find anything referencing them in the registry, and so won't run.
I hope that this helps!

- Itinerary: Chengdu-Garze(Hailuogou-Kangding-Xinduqiao-Danba-Rilong)-Chengdu
Hi Daniel,
On the whole our trip was ok. Our driver for the first half of our trip was great. Very professional and concerned that we enjoyed ourselves. Without a guide, we missed out on a bit of attractions when we were at Changping valley. The map on the board was not really clear about the first scenic point so we totally missed that and never walked to the point and turned back. We only found out from the locals there when we reached the exit.
For the second part, our guide Abby and driver Mr Xie were really friendly too and we enjoyed their company a lot. It felts like we were friends more than guests, which was nice. Our guide at Jiuzhaigou was also great.
Mt Emei was a bit of disappointment due to the weather, but I suppose that cannot be controlled.
The itinerary on the whole we felt did waste quite a bit of time in Chengdu, as our first and last day had no program and we had already seen most of the key attractions during the tour. Perhaps the itinerary could have been modified once our flights were confirmed to maybe extend additional days in some attractions that needed more time.
On the whole it was still enjoyable. Thanks for putting it together for us. The hotels were all also very good and comfortable.

Rhino sorted out all our car hire needs for a recent road trip to California. An amazingly easy process, with helpful staff happy to help over the phone when we needed to tailor the trip a little. We picked up the car from one location and, due to an unforeseen emergency, had to drop it off at a different location, and it was all made very easy and we were not charged extra. The prices were so good that we decided to upgrade to a convertible Ford Mustang to make the most of the Californian… Read Full Review

We stood for over 1 hour in a big queue at the Goldcar desk. The staff were rude and aggressive in trying to sell us their excess insurance at 25 euros per day, even though we had already bought it online at £15 for a week's hire but they insisted they didn't "recognise it"', which is nonsense, since covering the excess is a contract between us and the insurance company, not the car hire firm.

SAN FRANCISCO — The catchiest videogames, the ones that grab players immediately, share a certain set of traits that designers ignore at their own peril, says a veteran gamemaker.
In a Game Developers Conference speech titled "Designing the Five-Second Game," designer RJ Mical laid out the results of a study he had undertaken recently, in which he analyzed dozens of instantly addictive games from Pac-Man to Plants Vs. Zombies. Mical, who co-created the Atari Lynx and 3DO game machines and worked on the PlayStation Vita, found certain elements that persisted across decades of development.
"We've all managed to tap into something in the human psyche that's really working," he said.
Simple interface. "The hardest part about [learning to play] Tetris is figuring out which way the buttons rotate the block," he said. This is always paired with…
Simple strategy. You should be able to learn the rules and the goal of the game in 5 minutes, he says. "If you've created a game where the interface is easy to understand but you don't know what to do, that alone is a game-killer," Mical said.
Short levels. Besides being convenient for players if the levels are short, knowing that the game's levels are broken up into easily absorbable chunks of gameplay might convince players to game more: Mical said that he found that people will start playing game levels even if they know they might not be able to finish them. "You know you might get interrupted, but you don't care," he said. "The experience is supposed to be a transitory one."
Models the physical world, at least somewhat. Even the abstract Tetris references the real world, Mical said; the blocks fall like realistic objects. But things can't be too realistic — you rarely see a game like this use a 3-D world instead of 2-D, he said.
Great sound effects. Instantly addictive games might have impressive, beautiful graphics or simple, functional visuals, Mical said. But what they absolutely must have is excellent sound effects. "I've been in the game industry my whole life, but was still not conscious of the importance audio has," Mical said.
Mical said that he was surprised to find that only about a third of the games he surveyed had catchy tunes that played during gameplay, but stressed that every great game had high-quality sound effects.
He also noted that, while not every game in his study incorporated this particular design mechanic, far more hit games were about destroying (think Asteroids or Angry Birds) than building. SimCity be damned — more people want to smash civilization than construct it.Go Back to Top. Skip To: Start of Article.

I get this question A LOT everywhere I go – how did we come up with the name Tiny Prints for the company, and now that we've added an elephant as our symbol, why put the largest land roving mammal next to a name that starts with "tiny"?
The answer has a couple of parts that map out the evolution of our business. When we first started Tiny Prints, we produced mainly stationery for expecting and new moms—baby shower invitations, birth announcements, new baby thank you cards and the like. So while "prints" is a literal reference to what we sell, "tiny" had a dual meaning. It referred to the idea that we were celebrating the tiny people we adore here (babies) but the hidden meaning was based on the idea that we ourselves were a tiny company at the time in terms of everything from the number of staff members we had to the customer base, resources and other assets.
"We truly believe that the tiny things in life are actually the big things in disguise, and our name captures the essence of those tiny moments"
As we've grown, we've never forgotten the idea that the "tiny" in our name indicates that we are the underdog in a big, booming industry. That meaning continues to be relevant to us today, even though we have more people, customers and resources. It keeps our entrepreneurial spirits alive.
When Tiny Prints expanded into new occasions like weddings, birthdays and holidays, the "tiny" in our name took on a different meaning. It had to. It continued to symbolize our underdog mentality, and when earlier this year we began to develop concepts for a new symbol for our logo, the other meaning for "tiny" became much more clearly articulated.
What began as a company that celebrated babies and new life has grown up into a brand that celebrates all of the stories that define a person's life. We truly believe that the tiny things in life are actually the big things in disguise, and our name captures the essence of those tiny moments.
The elephant symbolizes the importance of those tiny moments. He's gentle, trustworthy and wise, a soul who never forgets and who is always there to remind us that little memories are always worth celebrating in a big way.

Monocolumn: Filmmaker's Surprise At Inclusion In Shanghai Expo
The Shanghai World Expo is nothing if not forward-looking. But one feature seems startlingly out of place: the screenings of filmmaker Jia Zhangke's new documentary, I Wish I Knew.
Monocolumn is Monocle's daily bulletin of news and opinion. Catch up with previous editions here.
The Shanghai World Expo is nothing if not forward-looking. In China's continuing zeal to put forth its best face to the world, it has spared little expense in making this showcase as impressive and futuristic as possible, from the microchip-embedded tickets to the funnel-shaped, glass-and-steel "sun valleys" along the main Expo thoroughfare that glow a magnificent neon blue at night.
But one feature seems startlingly out of place: the screenings of filmmaker Jia Zhangke's new documentary, I Wish I Knew. The movie is about Shanghai's past – a past some residents would rather soon forget.
That Jia has been included in the programme of events is more than a little surprising – he used to be banned from making films in China. The director spent several years in official purgatory after his first film, Xiao Wu, about a thief in a run-down interior Chinese city, ran afoul of the authorities, but he continued making movies on the sly anyway.
Then, in 2004, he decided to come in from the cold, submitting his feature The World for official release in China. Jia has since established himself as one of the leaders of the "Sixth Generation" of Chinese filmmakers, known for his realistic and gritty portrayals of life on the margins of society in hyper-modernising China. He's also become a rising star abroad, winner of the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival in 2006 for Still Life, a moody drama about peasants displaced by the Three Gorges Dam project.

Hi, ill try to explain a idea i got after setting up the fourth xbmc installation in this house (dont ask how but i somenhow became a house lord for friends)
But anyway, the setup is based around one computer in the livingroom with all the content (tvshows and movies distributed across 3 harddrives) .this machine acts as a full xbmc but also as the central storage.
The other three installations reads the content from the livingroom over sambashares and all four scrape individually (which is not a problem).
Each time my buddies want to upgrade their XBMC they have to setup and point to each share and select what content they contain (they usually just shout out my name).
I want to mark 1 XBMC installation (the one in the livingroom) as a master and enable a way for the other three installations to autodiscover shares and type of content(movies/tvshows). This also enables me in the future to add a new harddrive to the main computer and create a share which the other computers automatically pick up.
All computers still scrape individually but will follow blindly what shares the master has tagged for usage in a "Homesharing" like feature
If someone is interested in developing this i can assist with detailed user stories and further examples
Mark a XBMC as master - enable autodiscovery of shares and content

Just use UPnP.
Always read the XBMC online-manual, FAQ and search the forum before posting.
Do not e-mail XBMC-Team members directly asking for support. Read/follow the forum rules.
For troubleshooting and bug reporting please make sure you read this first.

MySQL is not an option until it is offically supported in stable builds.
UPnP does not deliver the same experience as a manual setup, the user loose library mode and the user still have to point to a folder (movies or tvshows) and define what content the folder found on UPnP contains.
let me write up a scenario for the wanted feature:
1.Admin sets up a XBMC and manually add each share and what they contain (tvshows/movies/music etc)
2.Admin enables a option called "Make content available to other XBMC on the network, this machine is now tagged as a Master
User experience, client side
1.User installs XBMC (client) on the same network and at first startup XBMC displays that it has found a "Master" and the user have to make a choice to inherit the shares from this or not.
2.Yes = Master sends the following info (and only) to the User XBMC:
-Shares and what content they are tagged with.
example 1: "smb://server/d/videos/tvshows" and the tag "tvshows"
example 2: "smb://server/d/videos/movies" and the tag "movies"
example 3: "smb://server/f/videos/tvshows" and the tag "movies"
3. The client XBMC then adds these shares the same way as if a user had manually added them (but without the user interaction)
4. The client XBMC is set up and will function like the user had manually added each share. Scraping is handled as normal
1.Each time the client XBMC starts up it will try to contact the Master and ask if the shares have changed (added or deleted)

i would not call it a supported feature if the advancedsettings has to be created and edited. The point is to have a simple "just works" solution for multiple xbmc within the same network.
This is a general wish but it would be great if xbmc could lift itself out of the configuration/settings focus and have wizards that are more user friendly.
I dont want to go ranting and go off topic but the user is presented with way to many options just to add a folder so it can be scraped. How many user do you think manually scrape their library because they have not gone into settings and enabled "scrape library on startup". Its highly customizable (which i love) but XBMC have to expose features and customization through simple wizard/gui elements.
Like when you started up XBMC for the first time and it just sat there while you wondered how to add shares and get into library mode to see all the great fanart you had seen on the forum and on the webpage.
I think a general first-run wizard which guided you through setting up content, defining settings, setup audio etc would help XBMC reach more people. User dont want to read manuals and forums, they want to..use.
Dont get me wrong, im higly technical and design collaboration systems for a living. But there is a fine line between feature rich and user friendly

Texaco, I think the MySQL solution (that is working *RIGHT NOW*, nothing to develop or change) is better than what you're proposing except for the need to make the entry in advancedsettings.xml (that could be automated by, for example, an addon or an installation script that simply grabs the advancedsettings file from the server).
When the user of the "slave" XBMC uses the mysql db, *everything* is there, there is no need to create ANY sources or tell what those sources contain or even scrape them, everything is already there. Also, the "slaves" cannot mess anything (well, they can force rescrapes and delete things, of course) because they have no sources to mess with. There are a couple of caveats, though:
- the server must do all the library updates, the other installations will not "see" the new items until they are scraped, so someone must do that and, since the slaves do not have any shares to search, it must be done from a XBMC instance with the shares. There are some "headless" options being working on from some people that can automate all that.
- the "watched" information is shared among all users. There is no workaround for that nor anything in the works, I'm afraid. In fact, it is considered a feature, and for many users it is so.

Okei, then ill change my suggestion to expose and automate the setup for the use of mysql database and to enable automatic discovery of shared database among xbmc installations on the same network.
This is exactly the same as the original request apart from the technical bit about the backend.. It is the autodiscovery part im interested in when the user runs xbmc after the inital installation.
It would be like how airplay works, you press a button and a menu with the detected receivers show up and you select it. No xml files. No configuring. Happy user
To sum it up, i dont want to distribute content through xbmc but i want to distribute the configuration.
In my setup i would only need to distribute 6 paths tagged with information necessary to start to scrape them (tvshow/movies). This would be a heck lot of easier way to distribute among several xbmc instead of building a new database

Good feedback either way. Just so everyone knows, a better system for library sharing (that will replace the complicated MySQL) is on the radar. That is, there is a strong desire for it from the devs. I don't know if any work has been started, let alone an ETA, but just know that we want this too :D

Several character posters have been released for Tim Burton's upcoming Dark Shadows movie. The posters include Eva Green as Angelique Bouchard, Johnny Depp as Barnabas Collins and Chloe Grace Moretz as Carolyn Stoddard. The movie arrives in theaters on May 11th. Eva looks quite fierce in her poster. Chloe looks potentially moody and Barnabas looks very serious.
You can see more of the posters here on Collider.com. The first trailer for the film was released last week. You can watch it here.
