Curious what you think of my excessive tire wear (is it due to camber or toe-in?)
At 102,278 miles, I have a recurring bad habit of driving the windy canyon roads going 'over the hill' a few times a week, up and down the Old Santa Cruz highway ... and ... well, while I'm a sedate driver ... hitting those sharp corners, even at 30mph, is (apparently) a bit wearing on the tires.
Looking at them today, I noticed, besides the obvious fact I need to order new round black donuts, to fit - the less obvious hint that the INSIDE of all four tires is more worn than the outside (rotated 'only' at brake changes, which is to say they weren't really rotated at all).
See the pics below of all four tires (admittedly worn well past the wear indicators) on my non-sport 525i.
Just curious: Do you think that additional inside wear is due to camber? Toe-in?

The inside tire wear is typically associated with camber and this is usually more pronounced on the sport suspension, which has more camber than the normal e39 suspension. I think the location of your inside tread wear is normal as the outside tread is also fairly worn. More importantly, how many miles have you run since you installed these tires. That will indicate if anything is amiss with your suspension.
FWIW: I've had Michelin Pilot Primacy (good performance but terrible noise at 10K), Pirelli P-Zero Nero A/S (very quiet, great ride and good performance) and General UHP A/S (average ride and performance). I hear the Conti ExtremeContact DWS are very nice.
Unfortunately, I really don't know how many miles I've driven with those tires.
I'm going to choose a set of these soon (strictly by the numbers), and order them shipped to a local tire shop at tire-rack-contract prices (about $15 per tire, mounting, balancing, & stem ... plus $3 disposal fee & taxes).

oops, hit the post too soon.
This is typically associated with camber.

Based on my experience with them on a previous car, I'll recommend against the Potenza RE040s unless you want to buy tires again in 20,000 miles (or less). They are soft and sticky so they are good when still relatively new, but they wear quickly and once they do they're not good at all in the wet.
looks pretty good, relatively even wear with the majority on the inside,do you rotate the tires regularly if so that is why the fronts look the way they do, if not then it is probably all the hard driving. I have read the DWS is a better tire than the MXV4. I just had a set installed for 175 each at a local tire place. so far am very happy with the tire, smooth and quite, actually think I can hear a bearing grumbling now that I couldn't hear over my old abused tires.

While Fudman is correct about inside wear and camber, you may already know camber is not adjustable on the front without the use of a camber kit. Standard camber will fall into place at -5 deg (very slight) if the caster and toe are within spec after an alignment.
Assuming that inside wear was NOT PRESENTwhen they were on the back end, just before the rotation during your brake job, you might want to take a look at your tie rods as that may actually be a sign of TOE-OUT. FYI, excessive Toe-out causes feathering on the inside while Toe-in as you questioned in the title of the post would actually cause feathering on the OUTSIDE edge, which I don't see in your photos.
So before you go out and spend your hard earned money on new donuts, have your suspension and alignment checked. Otherwise, you'll find your new donuts wearing out prematurely.
Considering tires typically last about 30k miles with proper alignment and good suspension, you might want to take the opportunity to overhaul your suspension as well so you can enjoy those canyon drives that much more.
And to be sure the rear end tire wear doesn't get excessive due to the standard -2 deg negative camber, you really should rotate the tires at least every 5-7k. IF you buy at your favorite place, Costco, you'll get free rotations there and can be done in the time it takes to do your normal shopping.

I have not point of reference as the tires on my newly purchased 02 530i sport are also new and were installed by the selling dealer. They are Continental ContiProContact which TireRack classifies as a Touring/All Season tire. I have no complaints to this point but again, I have no other point of reference.
Whatever you get and wherever you get them negotiate lifetime rotation and balance into your purchase price. Most reputable tire installers will agree to this to get your business as they assume that most people won't be back for the rotations. You may have to pay a little more up front but most of the time I get the lifetime rotations and balance for the original quoted price. Make sure your purchase agreement indicates this.
If your suspension geometry checks out, regular rotations are the best way to ensure maximum life and even wear from your tires. I do my rotations at every 5000 mile increment on the odometer. Easy to remember that way.
2002 530i
I agree with most of whats been said pertaining to alignment. The lowering associated with the sport suspension introduces additional negative camber which will cause uneven tire wear as exemplified on your car. "Sport suspension" is yet another design compromise with the trade-off being increased tire wear (of more expensive, low profile tires) and stiffer suspension compliance for higher road grip and less body roll.
One of the differentiating symptoms of camber wear versus toe wear is whether or not the wear is smooth or scalloped. Camber wear tends to be smooth and improper toe wear tends to be scalloped.

That statement is a large part of why you can't simply pick a tire "by the numbers" what works extremely well on my lowered, lighter, and much harder driven car, may not meet your goals for an e39 chassis.
I.E. I'm currently running 180 tread wear tire that last almost 15k on my car but if you put them on a car with the weight and suspension characteristics of a non-sport e39 they would do well to last half of that and would likely be very loud while at it. If you were to put 400 tread wear tire on my little car it would likely slide all over the place b/c it's designed from the ground up(suspension, brakes, ect) for very sticky tires.( R-comps )
For example, here's my current tire, 'by the numbers':
If we rely on tire reviews, for example, Tire Rack reviews, the inconsistency of vehicles, driving habits, test instruments, and measurements would vastly confuse the results.
So, what 'else' is there other than 'the numbers' for me to compare my existing tire, with, for example, the cheapest & most expensive alternative:
My Current (worn) Tires:
Michelin Energy MXV4 Plus P225/55R16 95H (1521lbs, 130mph) 400/A/A $185
Cheapest TireRack Alternative:
Hankook Ventus V4 ES H105 P225/55R16 99V (1709lbs 149mph) 420 A A $88.00
Most Expensive TireRack Alternative:
Pirelli P6000 P225/55ZR16 95W (1521lbs 168mph) 180 A A $239.00

My opinion is that you take the reviews with a grain of salt.
Good Luck!!
2002 530i
I think thats all you're going to get on the subject. Consider both the objective (the numbers) and the subjective (the reviews) and make your best guess.
As another member of the BB fan club, allow me to express my gratitude for all the effort you put into organizing this site.
Thanks for the kind words ... I do spend a lot of time making pictures and annotating them for the team!
As for the question, it may be useful to note the same question was asked of our E46 brethren just today:
- E46 (1999 - 2006) > Best strategy to troubleshoot front inner tire wear
This tire wear is obviously from negative camber on my msport 530i,
I have done 21,000 miles on these Toyo 255/40r17's, but would have changed them about 5000 miles ago if I had known about the negative camber wear. Funnily the right hand tire is no where near as bad. So that would point to an alignment required.
The front Toyo's (235/45) are still in pretty good shape and were put on the same time.
I was going to go with the Toyo's again but have been told for the same money the Continental Sport Contact3 are a much better tire. Although either one is still $300 each

my rear tires last 15k max even i keep negative camber around 1.2 - 1.5
i usually replace 2 rear sets together with 1 front set
no rotation, tires Michelin and Conti
Last edited by champaign777; 10-30-2011 at 01:20 PM.
now I don't feel so bad...I only got @ 8k on my Hankook V12 rear tires. Found some OEM M5 wheels and replaced the whole lot. I'm curious to see with new rear ball joints and a fresh alignment if any thing helps
'01 540i 6-speed, blk/blk, upgraded stereo w/sub, passport, Dice Mediabridge and some cool M-stuff
FWIW, my Conti DWS tires have 15K miles and very little signs of wear, which is very even so far. I had an alignment and ride height calibration done when they were installed.
I'm a fan of these tires and became a more devout fan after driving in 8" of slushy snow and icy roads this past weekend. Best combined traction of any tire I've ever used.
2001 530i Sport, BTW
"The wise speak of only what they know."
For the record, a second set of tires were prematurely shredded, at which point I read up and learned a lot more about alignment, and we came to some good conclusions about how best to add weight and why - and - how to adjust the factory settings for better results.

Re: Curious what you think of my excessive tire wear (is it due to camber or toe-in?)
If your tire didn't reach it's mileage rating and it's that even around I would think over inflation. Like in earlier posts camber wear is more pronounced then that. Same with toe in and toe out. That tire looks like it wore out pretty even. Especially for a bmw. Also my little suggestion on tires. If you have low pro I would go Toyo proxies 4+ for sure. 50xxx mike tire and I've seen em last longer on most cars. If you have a bigger sidewall I would check out the Toyo ultra z9000 it's got a 80xxx rating. Both of those tires are my personal favorites

Re: Curious what you think of my excessive tire wear (is it due to camber or toe-in?)
Also if your non staggered which it looks like. Rotate a lot. At my shop we recommend every 3-5k, check front end and also have them examine the tires and see what could have cause certain wear. For ex. Cupping, toe can cause it and so can struts and shocks. But an experiences tire person should be able to tell by the direction and patterns of the cupping what could have caused it. Check the alignment also. I check mine every 6 months just to be safe. Some shops as like mine, have no charge alignment checks. If it's not out, no charge.

Weird Sollus. I had my LED's for 2 years now and no problems. It may depend on how they are manufactured and what-not, but I can't say since I'm still experimenting with them. As for the 100 watt. The incandescent light reaches farther than my 100 watt equivalent, but the LED (since I am in the boonies) shines brighter and acts like my beacon.I also found out it's the old inefficient incandescent bulbs that the government is phasing out. The newer incandescent bulbs can stay and they are exactly the same, just improved slightly. I've never seen these "new" bulbs, but we may be buying them already.

Compaq aims Prosignia direct at SMEs
Old name given a new lease of life as the direct selling range
Compaq starts shipping its Prosignia range aimed at small businesses today. Prosignia servers, desktops and notebooks will be sold through Compaq's indirect channel until the end of the third quarter, when users will also be able to buy direct. The server range includes the NeoServer, which can be used practically straight out of the box, according to Compaq. It is designed to be easy to use for small businesses with up to 25 users, and costs from £999 plus VAT. The Compaq Prosignia 720 and 740 start at £1365 plus VAT, and are more traditional servers with different chip and storage options that can be tailored to individual businesses. The Prosignia 300 desktop range starts at £625 plus VAT with Intel Celeron 433MHz, 64MB RAM, 6.4GB hard drive, 32x CD-ROM, Compaq Fast Ethernet 10/100 network card, 15in monitor and Word 2000. The entry-level notebook launched today has Intel Pentium II 333MHz, 64MB RAM, 14.1in TFT screen, 4GB hard drive, 24x CD-ROM, 56k V90 fax modem, Windows 98 and Office 2000 Small Business Edition. It costs £1355 plus VAT. David Petts, director of Compaq PC business Unit, said the company expected 40 per cent of sales to be direct, and 60 per cent to be through the channel. He stressed Compaq still needed its resellers, and was not kicking sand in their faces. "SMBs [small and medium sized businesses] need a partner to work with. We will provide an advantage for small businesses over other manufacturers who can't offer a channel," he said. Compaq has been forced to adopt an increasingly direct sales model to compete with direct king Dell. ®

November 12, 2013
According to the Chicago Tribune, an arbitrator on Nov. 12 ordered Starbucks to pay Kraft's former parent Mondelez International $2.23 billion in damages plus $527 million in prejudgment interest and attorneys' fees after the coffee chain's early termination of a grocery deal. Kraft began selling bags of Starbucks coffee in grocery stores beginning in September 1998. Starbucks prematurely ended the contract in March 2011 and gave the business to privately held Acosta Inc.
Starbucks accused Kraft of multiple material breaches of contract, including mismanaging the brand. Kraft denied any breach and said that if Starbucks wanted out, it must pay Kraft fair value for the business, which brought in $500 million a year in revenue.
The deal's initial term was set to expire in March 2014. The agreement was to renew automatically for successive 10-year terms unless sooner terminated per the agreement. Based on the rules of binding arbitration, Starbucks cannot appeal.
Starbucks said in a statement that it strongly disagrees with the arbitrator's conclusion. "We are pleased the arbitration has ended; however, we strongly disagree with the arbitrator's conclusion and that Kraft is entitled to $2.23 billion in damages plus $527 million in prejudgment interest and attorneys' fees. We believe Kraft did not deliver on its responsibilities to our brand under the agreement, the performance of the business suffered as a result, and that we had a right to terminate the agreement without payment to Kraft. While we disagree Kraft is entitled to damages, the amount awarded reflects the value of our at-home coffee business and the continued global growth opportunity that lies ahead for Starbucks. We have adequate liquidity both in the form of cash on hand and available borrowing capacity to fund the payment, which will be booked as a charge to our fiscal 2013 operating expenses," said Troy Alstead, Chief Financial Officer and Group President, Global Business Services at Starbucks.

Community Profiles
Community Profiles allow you to investigate a diverse range of Census topics from six different perspectives. Each profile looks at a different population or respondent location and presents a comprehensive statistical picture of a particular area.
Start at the ABS website homepage and click on 'Census Data' on the left hand navigation menu. Find 'Community Profiles' in the body of the page and choose which year's Census data you want displayed. As with QuickStats and MapStats, search for a geographic area by using one of the above tabs. In this example we will type in a keyword to search for our area of interest. Select a specific location from the results list. Scroll down to view all locations for your search. Let's select Wyndham Local Government Area.
Once a selection has been made, a map of the chosen area appears. Check it is the wanted area. If it is, click on 'View Community Profiles'. Depending on the area you select, there may be up to 6 types of Community Profiles available: the Basic Community Profile, the Indigenous profile, Time Series profile, Place of Enumeration profile which refers to the location of respondents on Census night, the Expanded Community profile which provides more detailed data than the Basic Community profile, and the Working Population profile.
Click on the Downloads tab to find the downloadable files for each profile. Open the profile you want to explore by clicking on the 'Free Download' link. You can choose to save the file to a specified location or simply 'Open' the file and save it later. The community profile will open in an Excel spreadsheet with a list of Tables. The tabs at the bottom provide links to further table topics, concepts and definition and individual tables.
If you want to know more about this Census product, a separate tutorial on Community Profiles is available from the ABS suite of

Integrating microformats(esp hreview)
I'm starting to think through how best to integrate a couple more microformats with WordPress and wanted to get some feedback. I'm mostly focusing on hreview because I want to do more reviews on my blog, but I'm trying to keep the ideas open enough to be used for other things as well.
Here is what my current thinking is:
I started with modifying my template. I've pulled out the contents of the post loop from my index.php and put them into a seperate file called post.php and replace it with an include. I've also made a review.php which makes a properly formatted hreview entry. I am going to start adding a custom field to my review posts to mark if they are reviews(a type field and review as the content). Then I can add a check in my template if the post has that field, and if it does use the review.php instead of the post.php. I'll add some stuff to my css to format it properly and it should just work. I'm also looking at the structured blogging plugin to use their editing forms to make the creation nicer.
Am I going about this the right way?

Holding the terrace banks in place
With the
digging done for the first round of terraces, I roped Mark into the heavy
work of keeping the banks from slumping. He tried two different
methods, both of which are very experimental (meaning --- wait to hear
some results before following suit).
The second method was
only subtly different (due to us running out of big timbers). Now
we moved on to the floor joists for the old house, which are two by
sixes from back when those measurements were accurate and lumber was
made out of hardwoods. Above, I'm digging out a bit of extra bank
so the boards will fit in flush.
And here Mark's pounding
in the fence posts to hold the boards in place. Notice how he's
got the posts slanted back toward the hillside to counteract pressure
from the earth, and how the boards are naturally spaced a bit apart
(due to us not pulling out nails). The latter will allow
groundwater to seep out, which will lessen the pressure against the
boards during heavy rains. (Yes, the gap was an accident, but our
off-site engineer's comment makes it sound like a good idea.)
Our chicken waterer keeps water clean and hens happy.

Did you ask Santa for a fence post driver? I waited awhile to buy one and after I got one I wish I had gotten it sooner. It allows you to use your body weight to drive the post in the ground so it goes much quicker. It seems you would benefit with the number of fence posts you have around your property.
Comment by Friday evening, December 21st, 2012—
He does deserve one, but we never seem to get around to buying one. By the time we do, we may have all of our fence posts in place.

She's one of the up-and-coming stars in women's golf, has just won her national championship at the tender age of 15, and best yet she's on her way to Canberra.
Lydia Ko underlined her status as one of the genuine contenders at Royal Canberra this week with a stunning victory in the New Zealand Open at Christchurch on Sunday.
It holds her in perfect stead for the Australian Open, which starts on Thursday.
Ko made a clutch one-metre putt on the final hole to become the first Kiwi to win her home tournament and the youngest to win a Ladies European Tour event.
As the nerves left, tears of joy streamed down Ko's face as she came to terms with her third professional win from only 12 events.
"I didn't cry at the Canadian Open so I don't know why I cried here," Ko said.
"I guess it meant more. I am not the person who shows expression of feeling, but I guess the tears showed it."
Ko shot a final round four-under-par 68 to finish at 10 under, one clear of Amelia Lewis from the US, with Victorian rising star Stacey Keating a further stroke back in third.
She is making a habit of rewriting the record books, after becoming the youngest winner of a professional tournament with her victory in last year's NSW Open, aged 14.
Ko went on to take out the Canadian Open to become the youngest champion on the LPGA Tour, and was last week awarded an invitation into the first major of the year, the Kraft Nabisco Championship, in April.
Canberra's Nikki Campbell fired a final-round 70 to finish in a share of fifth, the ideal preparation before getting back to her home course.
Campbell displayed an aggressive mindset with four birdies, but bogeys on the 11th and 16th halted her charge to contend for the title.
Fellow Australian Sarah Jane Smith tied with Campbell and Englishwoman Elizabeth Bennett.

Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) aim to control surface rainfall run-off by slowing its drainage rate, relieving pressure on sewerage systems and mimicking natural drainage as closely as possible. Used effectively, SuDS can help local authorities, planners, architects and developers deliver greener infrastructure.
ACO believes that the best SuDS will be cost-effective to operate and provide efficient drainage throughout their life. Rather than being inherently 'soft' or 'hard', they will instead include an optimized and integral mix of 'soft' and 'hard' components which will combine to bring out the best in each other.
ACO's advanced water engineering expertise enables us to design solutions with a difference. Our unique approach to SUDS controls rainwater distribution from the moment it hits the ground until it re-enters the natural water environment – minimising environmental impact and maximising sustainability
Every ACO system is designed specifically to manage both the flow rate and volume of surface water run-off, in order to reduce the risk of flooding and pollution. This eases pressure on the sewerage network, improves water quality and makes the natural features of SuDS more effective
Our new StormBrixx attenuation and infiltration system and Qmax slot drainage system represent the latest milestones in our journey to create superior, sustainable surface water management solutions. Used in conjunction with our other water management products; ACO Q-Ceptor oil separators and Q-Brake vortex flow controls they can help you achieve an integrated SuDS solution.
In addition other ACO products can be used within the system chain, products such as KerbDrain, or ACO channel drainage systems can be utilised to collect surface water runoff.

What is the best strategy for Smokes Babality?
Can any one please tell me how to perform Smokes Babality for the playstation 3? The code that I have is "down, back, down, forward, down." I cant perform it no matter what I do.
Andriod1980 - 6 years ago
Additional Details:
I cant perform Smokes Babality on any stage. I can perform his fatilitys, and stage, just not the Babality.
Andriod1980 - 6 years ago
Accepted Answer
First of all: his correct input is DOWN, BACK, DOWN, FORWARD, DOWN.
Now, babalities are between jump distance and full screen, meaning a step back is more likeley to help than a step forward after a jump away. There are ppl who say it wont work if you block in the winning round, that you cant use xray in the winning round, or that you have to have a certain amount of health when performing it. None of that has been confirmed a 100% yet. Besides, these "rule(s)" only apply in player matches, meaning in ladder mode you can pull of a babality anytime it says finish him.
waschbaerjohann (Expert) - 6 years ago
Other Answers
Babalities can only be performed from Jump distance.
Also, are you doing this in Fatality Tutorial? If so, it will not work.
carlinfan1985 - 6 years ago
First: "touch" the oponent.
Second: jump back.
Then do a little step Forward,
and try to press the combination in medium speed..
not too slow and not too fast.
(Important: Babality doesn't work in Fatality Tutorial)
Hope I helped.
SlyHero - 6 years ago
I forgot to mention this in my last post. You can only perform a Babality if you win your last round without blocking.

Thread: Returning short FG's for TD's
Returning short FG's for TD's
Anyone who was watching the late nite Bears vs. Giants game had visions of Chris McAlister and our field goal return in Denver. It was plain as day to see that when Damon Hester caught the FG attempt in the endzone, he had visions of TDs dancing in his head.
The Giants looked totally unaware of his intentions, as at least half their 11 players seemed to be heading to the bench as he sped out of the endzone. The TD, along with an Int from Eli Manning on the next possession, all but locked up the win for the Bears.
After the game, Tom Coughlin's only comments on the play were that it was his decision to try the long kick in the windy stadium, and that "it is very hard to cover a missed field goal".
This, to me, is as clear an example as you will find of being out-coached. Isn't it unexceptable to have no answer to a play that cost you a game. Lots of things in the NFL are "very hard". Stoping Peyton Manning, winning on the road, containing LT or Mike Vick. But you never see coaches say oh well, it was just too hard. It looked like the thought never crossed the Giants mind that Hester could return this kick. Even though the Bears did it last year and the Ravens before that.
The question is, how can the Raven's avoid this mistake in the future. With an aging Matt Stover, it is a very real possibility that we could attempt a long FG at some point that allows an opportunity for a return. We will not be caught offguard, but we will need to cover. My first thought is instead of blocking for the kick with big slow O-lineman, maybe we line up some of the bigger special teamers who can still run. AD and Heap come to mind. Maybe line up the long-snapper and two guards, and then a bunch of TE's and Linebackers outside of them. That way at least we have a chance of chasing someone down.
Re: Returning short FG's for TD's
Great post & analysis on this subject. I agree we have an aging kicker who's distance for kicking FG's may be decreasing, but Billick & the Ravens are smarter than Coughlin was. They always talk to Stover before sending him out there, to know what his range is. He always gives an honest answer. I would hope they are using Koch in practice to practice long range FG's that may be outside Stover's range. He has a strong leg & could maybe fill in the blanks of our kicking game as Stover's range decreases.
Your FG special team lineup is interesting, I wonder if AD has practiced in this role, hell he does everything else.

Re: Returning short FG's for TD's
Coughlin was irritated and said some of his (kicking team) players were headed for the sidelines after the miss instead of trying to tackle the guy.

The former Inter and AC Milan striker is facing more injury upheaval.
The Corinthians hitman fell awkwardly following a challenge and landed on his left wrist. Ronaldo underwent an examination, and club medics have confirmed the worst.
"We had further exams and we can confirm Ronaldo has suffered a break in his left hand. He will be out of action for four or five weeks," the medic told the press as reported by La Repubblica.
Ronaldo may even face surgery, and he is set for a further test on Wednesday.
"His hand is really swollen and it's hard to examine it properly. We will do a further test and decide in a few days."
Reports suggest that Ronaldo will be able to train lightly with the team, but he is unlikely to play in competitive matches until the injury heals.

Genesis to Jesus
Course Description
What is the Bible, where does it come from and what is its purpose? How are Catholics supposed to read the Bible and what story does it have to tell? These are the questions we take up in this "big picture" survey course.
Following an introduction to Catholic teaching about divine revelation and Bible, we jump right in and begin reading. We start with the creation story and Noah's ark, and trace the history of salvation as it unfolds in the series of covenants that God makes with His chosen people - from Abraham and the twelve tribes of Israel to Moses and finally to King David. We see how this history reaches its climax and fulfillment in Jesus and the Church. The aim is to give you a solid outline and overview of the story that the Bible tells, from Genesis to Jesus.
Course Registration
Courses are free! But we do ask that you register. You will be prompted for your E-mail Address and directed to a page where you will be asked for your Name, E-mail Address, Address and Phone Number.

Once you have registered you are registered for all the courses. Please do not register with each course. Click here to register. A password is not needed and will not be given to you. Once you have registered return to this page or any of the other courses to begin studying. The lessons are listed in the column to the right.
Course Objectives
1. To learn the basic Catholic principles for reading Scripture.
2. To learn about God's covenants in the Bible, and to understand their significance for reading and interpreting the Bible.
3. To learn the broad outlines of the books of the Bible and to understand their place in the story of salvation told in the Bible.
Course Materials
The primary text will be the Bible. And each lesson will provide links to biblical passages cited. In addition, the instructors recommend Scott Hahn's A Father Who Keeps His Promises, which covers much of the material to be studied in this course.

EURO 2012: UNICEF children cup held in Ukraine
KYIV, Ukraine 31 May, 2012 – UNICEF hosted a football cup for vulnerable children today from Kyiv, Donetsk, Odesa, Lviv and Ivano-Frankivsk regions. Just days before the start of EURO 2012, this football tournament took place in Kyiv aiming to draw public's attention to key issues of children's rights protection in Ukraine and to promote football as one of the ways to help vulnerable children.Children participating in UNICEF Cup came from different regions of Ukraine aged 12-16. Each team consisted of girls and boys, including children living on the streets, orphans and children deprived of parental care, children from poor and large families and neglected children.
"Sport unites us. We believe football gives a chance for a better life to vulnerable children. Football is an important element in children's education and rehabilitation. That is why UNICEF works with partners to help children in difficult circumstances, to take them away from the streets and to prevent risky behavior by engaging them in football,"said Yukie Mokuo, UNICEF Representative in Ukraine.
Children number over 8 million and about 60,000 children are registered as vulnerable. Many children are exposed to violence, abuse drugs and live in poverty, which increases their vulnerability to rights violations. Children who are orphaned or deprived of parental care, living with HIV, living or working on the streets, who have disabilities, and who are in conflict with the law, are some of the most vulnerable.
"Football - is what keeps kids from falling to the bottom," said Olga Lyashenko, psychologist Foundation Caritas Ukraine, who helps children from crisis families in Kyiv. She brought two teams to the UNICEF CUP this year. UNICEF supports the football teams of vulnerable children in cooperation with local non-governmental groups throughout Ukraine. The first team was established by Charitable Foundation "Way Home" with UNICEF support in Odesa in 2008.
In Kyiv, the UNICEF football cup was also supported by celebrities and famous sportsmen who came to encourage children and participate in the stretching warm up exercises and in the concert for children after the tournament.
Vladislav Vaschuk, a famous Ukrainian football player (National Ukrainian Football Team and FC "Dynamo" 1993-2008) also joined in. "As the sportsman I know that football is always a competition where everyone fights to win. But today all children are the winners, because they have been already overcoming difficult circumstances in their life with the help of football," he said.
UNICEF supports sport for development initiatives worldwide. In countries at peace and wa, these activities are being used to promote good health, encourage education, create child-friendly spaces and warn about harmful effects of smoking, alcohol and drug-abuse. UNICEF will continue to encourage civil society and private sector to unite and act in the best interest of Ukrainian children.

I have a job, and I can not always change my schedule. As of right now i can shoot Mondays and Tuesdays anytime, preferably in the morning, as my husband works the evenings and he likes to come to my shoots. Friday and Saturday evenings i can shoot because my husband is off work then.
I want to make this clear, yes I will do nudes, but I am very selective when it comes to those shoots, I WILL NOT do any shoots that are explicit or pornographic in any way. I will do erotic but I will only shoot with women . If anything I have said does not work for you then please don't bother asking me because my mind will not change.
My husband is my escort to every shoot I go on no matter what, I am more relaxed when he is with me and you can see it in my photos especially on nude shoots.

Wedding Trends: Mix and Match Bridesmaids
Friday April 29, 2011
No comments yet
One wedding fad that is very much in fashion to stay is having mix-and-match bridesmaid dresses. It is the way to go for a less-formal, more bohemian look if you are having a more casual wedding; think rustic, yellow tea-length gowns in different fabrics for a farmhouse wedding. It can also be a way to get away from a cookie-cutter bridal party look, even on the more formal side. In addition to giving your special day and photos a unique look, there are other advantages to mix and match bridesmaid gowns.
An added bonus is that you can stick to a color palette or even a single color but find dress or separates silhouettes that work for every body type in your wedding, from petite to plus size. For instance, a busty bridesmaid may feel more comfortable in a dress with straps, while another who wants to showcase her neckline may opt for a strapless silhouette. Look at how these two gorgeous Lela Rose dresses play off of one another, in
wild berry
Some bridesmaid dress makers, like Alfred Angelo, offer separates where your honorable maids can choose a skirt and top that flatters their figure best, all made of the same shade of bridal satin or chiffon. As another option, brides can choose the same silhouette for bridesmaids in different colors, tied together with a common element like a sash. Take a look at how well these
Bari Jay bridesmaid gowns
go together, in coordinating warm tones of brick and tangerine, tied together by a floral sash that pulls the designs together; perfect for an early fall wedding.
If you want longer gowns, take a look at how these shades of blue and green coordinate—perfect for a beachfront wedding who wants
mermaid-style maids
. If you are doing a still-popular black and white themed wedding, take a walk on the wild side of fashion by mixing short black dresses with this striped zebra
black and white number
for your maid of honor. Similar, yet different coordinated bouquets, sashes, or clutches can help tie together the mix-and-match bridesmaid look.
Bridesmaid Makeup Trends
Monday April 25, 2011
1 Comment
There are so many different looks to enhance a bridesmaid dress. You may have your bridesmaids wearing a simple,
understated dress
and want to keep the look classy and sophisticated. You want the makeup that your bridesmaids wear to reflect the look and feel of the dress. You'll want the bridesmaids to look fresh-faced and classic without looking plain and boring, which can be achieved by letting the eyes become the focal point of the face. Perhaps wearing a smoky eye with a nude lip, or pairing light eye shadows and heavier mascara with a peachy lip will do the trick. In this case you want your bridesmaids to wear something that does not overpower the dress. Try out this
makeup tutorial from MissChievous
Or maybe your bridesmaids are wearing an understated dress and you want the makeup to reflect the exact opposite. You want the makeup to scream glam and high fashion. This can be achieved by doing a bold colored lip and sparkling eye shadow with high-powered mascara or false eye lashes.
You can even do period makeup to fit the look of your wedding. Try old Hollywood makeup to
match this dress from our collection
, or you can pair a dress like this one
with a 50's face
Think about the location, time of day, and season of your wedding to help you pair the perfect bridesmaid dress and makeup together.
If you are having a garden wedding think of a look that is earthy and fresh. Play with colors that compliment the dress. If the
dress is gold
, hues of green eye makeup would look fantastic with a neutral lip color.
Time of day:
If you are having an evening wedding, you may want to opt for brighter and bolder looks for the bridesmaids; think shimmer, glitter, and smoky. Darker eyeliners and shadows will look amazing on your bridesmaids at night.
Let's say your wedding is in the winter. You may want your bridal party to reflect a holiday look of shimmer white eye shadows and eyeliners with a red lip color. Or let's say wedding is in the spring. Maybe you'll want to have your bridal party wearing a pink lip color to reflect the spring months with just the right amount of eye makeup.
As long as the makeup fits the look of the bridesmaid dress and the feel of the wedding, you are free to explore the endless possibilities of looks to make your bridesmaids feel like a movie star and to make your wedding absolutely perfect. Here are a few
makeup trends that are popular for 2011
. See if any of these fit your wedding style.
70s Styling Done Easy
Friday April 22, 2011
No comments yet
We know you know that this spring is all about the 70s. You read it
along with every other fashion source. We're basking in the liberated glory of the "free to be me" decade. It was such a momentous time when women's closets housed the gamut: from maxi dresses to micro minis to hot pants and goddess gowns. Can you say options? Plenty of options!
Image credits: Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin
After saying bye-bye to the no frills sweater sets of the 60s with the bouffant hair, and expected make up, the girls from the 70s maximized their looks for full expression. They were vibrant, sexy and fun. With so many options to choose from, what's a modern girl to do? No need to despair, we're here to break it down to the basics of hair, make up and shoes. Here's what you need to get that 70s thing on.
Let's start at the top. Just like the times, 70s hair was loose and flowing. A center part was essential. For a haute hippie look, get out your flat iron and straighten away. If your mane goes curly keep it soft with a little flip. Remember "The Farrah"? The perfect hair for a
flirty halter dress
. If you're curly, but keeping the curls relaxed isn't do-able, then let your frizz go free with a bohemian scarf wrapped on. Overall, your hair should either be long, big, or wild.
The make up of the 70s was both natural and glamorous.
Dewy skin
Rosy cheeks
Glossy lips
Don't let your lips lose their gloss!
For a true 70s match, coordinate your eye shadow with your outfit. If it's
turquoise on the dress
, then it's turquoise on the eyes! Don't forget the glitter when dancing the night away.
The must-have shoe for all things 70s is the platform. Whether it's a clog, a wedge or a sandal, you'll soar to new heights in these heels. When going casual with wide-leg jeans- we love the vintage chic appeal of
these wedges
. When taking on the night- grab your hot pants, and bring on the shine with
these party-favorites
. Lucite bangles, gold necklaces, and a care-not attitude will finish off the ensemble in pure 70s fashion.
How to Create a Princess Look
Monday April 18, 2011
No comments yet
Every girl dreams of being a princess and living a fairytale life. We spend most of our time waiting for our prince charming to come along and sweep us off our feet. We often imagine what life would be like if our dreams were to come true, and we want to not only be treated like a princess, but look like one, too.
Now, you might not get the castle, but you can definitely achieve the princess look with the right dress and the right accessories. With the appropriate tools, you'll be on your way to the ball in no time.
Every princess look starts with a ball gown. Remember girls, this is 2011, so don't be afraid to experiment with color and different styles. It is all about modernizing the look, so that you look like you belong at the prom or the Quinceanera, and not in the storybooks.
This bright fuchsia
gown by Tiff
is fantastic. It says princess without being simple or boring. This
Jovani gown
will definitely get you noticed and have the boys lining up to ask you to dance. It comes in a variety of colors to suit your needs and the sparkling bodice will look incredibly flattering. And for those of you who want to ease into the princess look, try this
Faviana dress
that has a similar silhouette without the full skirt.
So now that you have an idea what kind of dress would be fitting for a princess, you need a few accessories to help complete the look. You will definitely need the following four items to help you look spectacular: Earrings, Gloves, Clutch, and Tiara.
Try pairing these
emerald earrings
these gloves
with your dress. They will look stunning on you! A
cute clutch
that comes in a variety of colors will also add something special to your dress.
Most importantly, don't forget your tiara! Try t
his one in silver
this one in gold
. We've grown up with princesses like Cinderella, Belle, and Ariel, and now it's time for us to take the lead and become the princesses we've always wanted to be.
Chandelier Earrings at Prom
Thursday April 14, 2011
No comments yet
Chandelier earrings can be the perfect finishing touch to your party dress. They brighten and compliment your face, pulling your whole look together. But finding the right pair of chandelier earrings can be a challenge. Because a little bit of dangling bling goes a long, long way.
Start by looking for a pair of chandelier earrings that doesn't take the attention away from your dress but draws attention to your face. Pair chandelier earrings with a
simple strapless gown
. This combo works because the chandelier earrings aren't competing with embellishments on the dress. We like
this pair in black
for a sophisticated spin that's sure to look dazzling!
Another tip is to make sure your hair is either up, swept to the side, or pulled back. You want people to see those dazzling earrings. This
pair of clip-ons
is absolutely gorgeous, , and we think they're a perfect match to this yellow and purple print
strapless gown
One-shoulder gowns also look amazing with chandelier earrings. A great trick is to play up the asymmetry of the gown. Pull your hair into a side up-do or ponytail on the strap side of the dress and wear a pair of
dazzling earrings like these
. The earrings will draw attention to your bare shoulder with a glamorous sparkle and shine.
The golden rule is whichever gown you choose be sure that the earrings do not clash with your dress. The goal is to add something to your look without looking overdone and weighed down by your choice of accessories.

Kim Kardashian, Style Goddess
Monday April 11, 2011
No comments yet
Who isn't a fan of Kim Kardashian? She's a huge reality star, has many endorsements, created her own perfume, always has the cutest boyfriends, drives around LA in a Bentley, attends the biggest fashion shows, travels all over the world, and the list goes on and on. Her fashion sense is something girls everywhere are a huge fan of. Kim is always absolutely gorgeous, especially on the red carpet, so it's understandable if you want to copy her style on your big night.
Here are some great options by Faviana so you can look Kim Kardashian-esque:
Faviana Dress 6000
- which looks identical to the beautiful dress Kim is wearing in the photo.
Faviana Dress 6405
- for the girls who love the gown Kim is wearing in the photo, but want it shorter to show off great legs and shoes.
Faviana Dress 6718
- a little different take to the dress above worn by Kim, which also features a stunning back.
Faviana Dress 6777
- An amazing gown that you know Kim Kardashian would wear to a red carpet event!
Other great dresses to turn you into Kim K include
La Femme 16017
Jasz Couture 4333
. Both have that special kind of glamour she revels in.
To really complete her look, make sure you have a smoky eye—whether the colors you use are the usual black and silver, or if you decide to create the smoky eye with a different color scheme to match your dress. (Check out
Kim's green smokey eye here
for an example.) Remember to pair your eye look with BIG eyelashes! The smoky eye, along with the dramatic lashes, is Kim's makeup signature.
As for hair, wear it down. Kim usually wears her hair down, and the style is very chic and has a lot of appeal, no matter if it's straight, wavy, or curly. Guys love when your hair is down, too.
Finally, remember to also have the confidence that Kim Kardashian has . She's proud of who she is and is comfortable in her own skin—you should be, too!
Disco Days are Here Again
Friday April 08, 2011

Silky smooth and sizzling hot—that's how it went down at Studio 54! From the mysterious glow of Grace Jones to the come hither dresses of Jerry Hall, if it wasn't completely over-the-top, it didn't make the cut at Studio 54. Where else could birthday girl Bianca Jagger saunter in on a white stallion?
Image source: blog.toryburch.com
Though we weren't able to shake it down on the dance floor with Andy Warhol, we have become mildly obsessed with the fashion precipitated by all those in attendance. Notably, we're crushing glam squad regulars Lauren Hutton, Liza Minelli, and a very young Brooke Shields. Their outfits, always to the nines, were the perfect complement to the heart thumping grooves on the dance floor. Their only rules—be fabulous and have fun. With this spring bringing us face to face with a full-on 70s fashion revival, we are jumping at the chance to channel our inner disco diva. Feeling the fabulous groove? Here's what you need to turn up the volume of Studio 54 fashion.
The party doesn't get going until after dark, so you're sure to shimmer bright when outfitting metallics. Big on the 70s dance floors, and continuing to shine down spring 2011 runways, gold lamé and silver chiffon catch light like rays on the sun. And nothing reads more disco diva than a sexy halter dress in a glitzy metallic.
This one by Tony Bowls
is sure to get the party started right.
If you aren't feeling the full throttle of head to toe metallics, then reach for a clutch.
This gold purse
swiftly accessorizes a silk jumpsuit like a cat ready to pounce—fierce! For a kaleidoscopic boost, step into
these platform sandals by Carnival
. Now whose hot to trot?
Okay, let's take it up a notch, and get some hot pants on—a truly modern and cheeky way to do evening attire. Choose a high-waist version for a slimmer silhouette, and tuck in a billowy blouse for evening flair. Heels are an absolute must! We'd recommend platforms to complete the 70s look. Not feeling in tip-top shape? Then slip into a pair of tights or patterned stockings for extra coverage. Since it's all about the celebration—make sure you're ready to hustle.
Fergie: The Pop Princess
Monday April 04, 2011
No comments yet
Image source: justjared.com
Fergie is one of our favorite celebrities. She always shows such strength and confidence, both onstage and on the red carpet. After all, she holds her own as the only woman in a group of guys, and she worked it out on her own when she branched out to pursue a solo career, making hits that made you want to get up and dance. What makes us love her even more is her impeccable style. She always looks flawless and comfortable in her own skin.
Fergie looked lovely in a
lavender Elie Saab gown
at the 2010 Golden Globes. Faviana makes a s
trikingly similar gown
that we're sure you'll look amazing in.
She always makes the right choice when stepping onto the red carpet. She looked stunning when she wore a
sexy Pucci gown
at the 2010 Grammys. This dress will accentuated all of her assets, made her look like the diva she is, and caused jaws to drop and heads to turn as she sauntered down the velvet ropes. You can get one similar to Fergie's
by Sherri Hill in black
with a silver sash.
Fergie is not afraid to experiment with color in this simple yet beautiful
strapless yellow Calvin Klein gown
. This spring you should give this color a try as it looks great on all skin tones and really makes you stand out in a crowd. Give this
strapless yellow gown by Terani
a try.
Fergie's style has evolved over the years, and she is now a bona fide style icon. She makes each of her looks her own and looks amazing in every dress that she puts on. Fergie is the definition of cool with her attitude and talent. She's a major trendsetter that we'll all be looking to for inspiration from season to season, on and off the red carpet.
Spring Makeup Trends
Friday April 01, 2011
No comments yet
The beauty of this spring's makeup trends is that there is a look to suit everyone. Universally flattering for every eye color, purple shadow continues making a comeback, with gorgeous new shades from prestige brands including Nars down to Revlon at your local drugstore. Purple shades of liner, shadow, or mascara (or all three) can add drama or rocker edge to little black dresses at night, or give a white gown an exotic, orchid-like tropical flair.
Image source: marieclaire.com
Eyeliner, especially black and colored liquid liners, have been upstaging false lashes and loads of mascara as the dramatic eye statement of choice. For day, a thin line in dark brown or black is classic, but for night, anything goes, with dramatic cat eye shapes that go beyond the natural outline of the eye. For lips, bright shades of vermillion, orange-red, and bright coral make a statement against a natural fresh face with a light dusting of bronzer.
Orange tones are definitely the new red for spring 2011. Shove the baby pink lipgloss aside for a dramatic fuschia or bright pink lipstick; a womanly statement with full-on lipstick versus a light gloss is the way to go, especially for evening.
Imagesource: eyeshadowlipstick.com
Stars like tattoo artist and reality star Kat Von D, who has a line at Sephora, are making loads of dramatic makeup, pin-up style, in style, even in sunny Los Angeles.
In addition to bronzers, which are big for spring as well as summer, blush is ranging from natural creamy tones in rosy shades that compliment bolder lips to peachy colors that work well with orange-toned lip shades.
So how do these looks match up to your wardrobe? An orange or orange-red lipstick shade would look fresh and fashion-forward with this
white Jovani column dress
at a formal event versus a dark or red lip, or a gloss that might look washed out. Meanwhile, imagine how a swipe of bold purple liquid liner would liven up this
sequined minidress from Issue NY
While these are fantastic looks for night, for day, try one of the taupe or green metallic shadows seen on the runways with a khaki shirtwaist or ecru shift dress. And remember: if all this color overwhelms you, or you are wearing one of spring's vivid print dresses, you can always rely on basic black liner, mascara, and clear lip balm or gloss.

Coach Scott Milanovich threw himself on his own sword in the wake of the Toronto Argonauts' 36-10 loss to Saskatchewan on Monday.
"Clearly I didn't have them ready to play tonight," the rookie head coach said of his 7-7 team. "And I've got to do a better job of getting them ready to go, giving them the chance to be successful offensively.
"The only encouraging thing about tonight is we get to play again next week."
In truth, there was ample blame to go around the Argos' locker-room and everyone seemed to know it following a comprehensive drubbing that saw Toronto outplayed in every aspect of the game in its return to the Rogers Centre following a 1-2 road trip.
Quarterback Jarious Jackson, filling in for the injured Ricky Ray for a second week, said his coach's mea culpa spoke more about Milanovich's character than about who actually was to blame.
"I think that's just leadership ... that's Coach [Milanovich] being a great coach," he said.
"Whenever your coach can stand in front of the bus and take one for the team, you know as players you can't ask for anything better," Jackson added. "You better be willing to come out (and) do your job week in week out when you've got a coach like that because he can only stand in front of that bus so many times.
"It comes down to the players and how we play."
An 81-yard return by Saskatchewan's Brandon West on the opening kickoff was the first sign that things were going bad for the Argonauts. Had the Roughrider defence been more predatory or the offence better able to convert chances on the day, the score could have been a lot worse.
Five Sandro Deangelis field goals, two from within the 20-yard line, suggest the beating could have been much worse. An ineffective Argo offence meant the Toronto defence was on the field for too much time and it showed in the third quarter when Saskatchewan outscored the Argos 17-0.
Milanovich took the Harry S. Truman approach to the loss ("the buck stops here"), saying he was planning some face time in the mirror when he got home to see what more he could have done.
"Ultimately it falls on me," he said. "We didn't play well and the head coach's responsible for that. And so put this one on me."
Pressed on the issue, the 39-year-old Toronto coach said he expected players and coaches alike to take ownership of the debacle and to do some soul-searching of their own.
"To be candid with you, that's one of the things we talked about in the locker-room," he said. "I'm not going to go into details."
Milanovich said he had no answer to why the team started so poorly. He called his locker-room "electric" before the game. Lack of intensity was not an issue, he added.
"Just like last week was a three-phase win [29-10 over Winnipeg], this was a three-phase loss," the coach said.
Added Jackson: "We just got our butts kicked in every phase of the game today."
The veteran quarterback, who completed 16-of-31 passes for 162 yards with one TD and one interception, said he felt prepared and thought the game plan was a good one.
Saskatchewan had the ball for 34 minutes 36 seconds to Toronto's 25:24. The edge in net offence was 392 yards to 214 in favour of the Riders.
Even the Saskatchewan fans were louder than Toronto's.
Montreal's loss to Winnipeg earlier in the day meant a win would have moved Toronto into a tie for first place with the Als in the CFL's East Division. Toronto hosts Montreal next weekend.
Jackson said the Argos need to put the loss behind them, starting Tuesday.
"If we're still lingering on this loss, we can't move forward," he said
Added Milanovich: "This can certainly not happen again next week."Report Typo/Error

Spoiler Warning: If you have not watched episode 11 of '24: Live Another Day', stop reading now…
The last episode of 24 before the finale saw everything fall apart, all hope lost, and begs the question: How can even Jack Bauer salvage this situation?
Before they leave Cross's compound, Cheng removes the override tracker, spots Jack on a security camera, and fleas with Chloe in tow. Chloe surreptitiously records Cheng's voice and leaves the phone. Meanwhile, Jack and Kate kill off the Russian hit men with help from their CIA backup.
Cheng then gives a call to Russian foreign minister Anatol Stolnavich, who was the same man Mark leaked Jack's CIA tracker code to. Stolnavich promises Cheng he'll arrange safe travel out of
Jack calls Heller, Audrey, and the generals and clues them in to the Cheng connection, which freaks Audrey. She has a brief moment of that catatonic state Cheng left her in after season six. Meanwhile, Audrey asks Heller to let her back channel with an old Chinese official she knows. He agrees.
Jack calls Audrey in the car and spills his emotional guts. Asking her not to hate him and how sorry he is about everything that happened. Audrey reciprocates, poignantly telling Jack, "I could never hate you." She concludes by demanding, "Do what needs to be done, do you hear me Jack?"
You don't have to tell that to Jack twice.
The CIA techies figure out the Russians were tracking Jack's CIA code. They also know that Mark was the one who had to have leaked it. Jack arrives unannounced at the Presidential residence to confront Mark and Heller. Mark then spills his whole plan. He was unaware of Stolnavich's connection to Cheng and Russian intelligence. It would be the Russians who would most benefit from a U.S./China war.
Heller wants to arrest Mark for treason, but Jack wants to send him to the Stolnavich residence in
Chloe is traveling with Cheng in a semi truck when she attacks the men with a pipe and jumps out of the moving vehicle. She rolls down into a ditch. Cheng's men hunt for her, but after British military officers bump into Cheng, they leave Chloe in the ditch.
Mark is wired with an earpiece and a flag pin camera. Mark talks his way into the Stolnavich mansion. The CIA kills the security cameras as Mark is talking to Stolnavich and they begin to brawl. Mark ends up throwing them both through a glass wall as Jack and Kate swoop in. Stolnavich ends up with a shard of glass in his neck which eventually kills him. He refuses to provide Jack with Cheng's location before he dies.
Meanwhile, Audrey meets with her Chinese contact. She seems to convince her to provide the information to her government. But as she leaves, she's shot along with Audrey's two Secret Service agents. Audrey gets a call from Cheng ordering her to sit down. There's a sniper trained on her.
With just one episode left, President Heller's health is falling apart, Audrey is in peril, Chloe is left for dead, the
I've been watching 24 since its inception and I have no idea how all of this will get resolved. Next week is positively the most must-see 24 episode in the show's history.

In what first appears to be an over-the-top self-help book for leaders turns out to be a grounded guide drawing on the tools and thoughts of "two of the most notable thinkers on culture and breakthrough thinking in business": John O'Keeffe (Business Beyond the Box) and Larry Senn (coauthor of Winning Teams—Winning Cultures). Novak, chairman and CEO of YUM! Brands, offers powerful and sincere directives for creating a cohesive, success-oriented corporate culture. Fourteen lessons are divided into three sections with clever exercises, tools, worksheets, and charts throughout. Much of it could have felt familiar, but it's presented with clarity, contagious enthusiasm, organization, and accessibility. Added to that are numerous quotes, lessons, and stories from Warren Buffett, Jamie Dimon, and Jack Welsh, Presidents Eisenhower and Kennedy, Martin Luther King Jr., and even Colonel Sanders. Business people at all levels will find something of value. . (Jan.)

PIP breast implants: No long-term damage
18th June 2012 - NHS experts in charge of reviewing the faulty PIP breast implant scandal say they are around twice as likely to rupture as other implants, but do not cause cancer and are not toxic or harmful to human health.
The PIP implants were found not to contain normal medical grade silicone.
The NHS has received 7,098 referrals of woman concerned about the French-made PIP implants fitted by private clinics and 883 women with PIP implants fitted by the NHS itself.
4,349 diagnostic scans have been carried out and 490 women have opted to have their implants removed on the NHS.
The NHS in England and Scotland will only remove private faulty implants. The Welsh government says any woman originally treated privately will be eligible for free replacement.
PIP implant report
The NHS expert group looked at data on 240,000 breast implants of different makes used in England involving 130,000 women. They also studied findings from 5,600 implant removal operations.
Their findings are:
- Ruptured implants can cause reactions such as tenderness or swollen lymph glands. However, testing of the PIP implant gel material has not found any long-term threat to human health. They are not toxic and not carcinogenic cancer causing. The PIP implants have higher concentrations of siloxanes which is also found in hair and skin care products, antiperspirants and deodorants - but this is not a health risk.
- The mechanical strength of the PIP implants is inferior to other products. PIP implants rupture around twice as often as other makes at around 6% to 12% of failures after five years and a 15% to 30% failure rate after 10 years.
'Worrying time'
In a statement, the NHS Medical Director Professor Sir Bruce Keogh says: "This has been an incredibly worrying time for women. We have been determined to look thoroughly at all available evidence so we are able to give them the best clinical advice possible."
He's written to GPs about his findings but says the advice to women who have the implants has not changed: "We would therefore advise that women who have symptoms of a rupture - for example tenderness, soreness or lumpiness - should speak to their surgeon or GP."
Wider issues
This report has focussed on the safety of the implants. Further work is being done to decide whether improvements need to be made in regulating cosmetic surgery, including a register of implants, to make it easier to contact recipients in the event of problems.
The report acknowledges that concerns over the safety of the implants is a risk to health in its own right.
Consultant plastic surgeon and British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (BAAPS) President Fazel Fatah took part in the NHS expert review group. In a statement reacting to the report's findings he says: "We agree with the report findings that anxiety itself is a form of health risk and thus it is entirely reasonable for women to have the right to opt for removal - regardless of whether there has been rupture."
