Foreign Minister holding visa talks in Libya
Foreign Minister Tonio Borg is in Tripoli for talks with senior Libyan officials on the current controversy over the withholding of visas issued by Schengen area countries.
The controversy erupted in the middle of last month after Switzerland issued a Schengen blacklist of 188 senior Libyan officials, including Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi.
Maltese workers have been among those barred entry to Libya. Workers who were already in Libya have had their stays extended as far as their visas allowed, because they could not be replaced by other workers. However, a worker currently in Libya told timesofmalta.com that he feared that his employer would bring in workers from non-Schengen countries if the dispute dragged on.
Malta and Italy have led European criticism of the Swiss blacklist decision and have jointly held meetings with Libyan Foreign Minister Mousa Kousa.
Both countries want to preserve the strong trade links they have with Libya. Apart from the large number of Maltese working in Libya, Malta between 2004 and 2008 exported €341m worth of products to Libya.
There is also considerable Libyan investment in Malta. Earlier this week, Libyan aircraft maintenance firm Medavia announced a €10.5m investment in a new hangar and other facilities at the aviation park in Safi.
Meanwhile, Libya has complained that even the Libyan president of the U.N. General Assembly is among the officials listed on the Schengen blacklist and cannot travel to most European countries. Foremer Libyan Foreign Minister Ali Abdussalam Treki was appointed president of the General Assembly since last September.
The Libyan Ambassador to the U.N., Abdurrahman Mohamed Shalgham said Libya was calling for an end to the visa ban for the people on the list and for both sides to resolve the dispute through arbitration mediated by a neutral country.
"We could have a solution, not to escalate everything," he told reporters in New York. "We want a solution."
Libyan relations with Switzerland broke down in mid-2008 with the arrest of a son of Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi in a Geneva hotel on charges of mistreating two domestic servants.Those charges have since been dropped.

Many of our services follow the order from The Book of Common Prayer – this is the normal pattern for our choral evensongs.
In 2013 we celebrated the 350th Anniversary of the 1662 Book of Common Prayer, a book which remains the official doctrinal foundation of most of the Churches in the global Anglican Communion. Before the 16th century there was no uniform liturgy and this book was a bold attempt at uniformity. It was compiled by Thomas Cranmer, Archbishop of Canterbury and leader of the Reformation, who was later burnt at the stake for his beliefs.
He based his text largely on the use of materials traditionally used in the church.
The prayer book is deeply rooted in the Bible ensuring that the congregation is well versed in scripture; not only does it make full provision for the reading of the scripture at services but the services themselves are, in substance and language, scriptural throughout. The book contains all services as well as the thirty nine articles of the faith, a statement of what the Anglicans believe. It is very much a product of its age which gives it a vibrancy and resonance such as you find in Shakespearean language and the King James Bible. The version we use in church was updated in 1968.
We are holding a special festival to celebrate this anniversary in the Autumn, there will be an exhibition throughout the festival and a number of celebratory Evensongs. There is also an exhibition entitled "Royal Devotion: Monarchy and the Book of Common Prayer" at Lambeth Palace 1st May – 14th July.

Eric Bischoff, one of the biggest Sons of a Bitch in wrestling history, but now that seems to be changing. Eric Bischoff started out in 92-93, as the executive producer of WCW and then later became president. Until 1996 he was neutral and nobody really cared (except Vince Macmahon and the WWE I think), but in 1996 when the N.W.O arrived he became a major heel. Throughout 1996 he was with the N.W.O fighting against anything else, and we all know how that went, but anyway my point is that throughout his first WCW run he was a heel.
Second WCW run: when WCW realized in the year 2000 that Vince Russo really wasn't all he proclaimed to be they thought: "lets bring Bischoff back one more time see if he could fix WCW", but Bischoff said he couldn't fix WCW so he wanted to buy it. So while they were working out a deal, Bischoff debuted again and this time to do the complete opposite of what he did last time: "in with the new, out with the old" and so was the New Blood: Billy Kidman, NBT, (my favourite) Mike Awesome, Vampiro, Shane Douglas and many more new stars. And as long as WCW was there they might as well ask Vince Russo to write the storylines. So then we got Bischoff and Russo and they both are heels. With the New Blood here WCW almost pulled through, but somewhere down the road Bischoff and Russo lost tread of it and it ended up as a total bummer, and WCW blew the deal of.
WWE: In early 2002 rumours started to fly around that Bischoff would come to the WWE and that was obviously true. So Eric Bischoff comes to Raw as the GM and as a heel. And at this point he had a feud with Stephanie Macmahon over which brand was the best. Then one night on Raw Stephanie stole Brock Lesnar from the brand and said Raw would never have a champion of their own and that's how the Triple H kiss-ass saga begins. Because the very next on Raw Bischoff came out with the old WCW title and presented it to Triple H. Raw was going up and down at that time and we then got HBK as the champion (great). There went one month and then HHH was on top again. We saw the arrival of Evolution and the arrival of Stone Cold next, and then Bischoff first really begins to mean something to the storylines. Bischoff becomes an even bigger heel than he was before and spends almost all of 2003 to fight Stone Cold and kiss-up to Evolution. In 2003 Bischoff did everything he could to keep HHH the world champ, then we go to Survivor Series and Bischoffs team go up against Stone Colds team, if Stone Colds team wins he can hit people again, if Bischoffs team wins Stone Cold gets fired and Bischoffs team won with a little interference from Bischoff himself and Batista. Bischoff gets to run Raw for himself almost one month (and surprise surprise the controversy comes). Then we go through three month more with Bischoff and Stone cold fight a little. Then we go on the other side of Wrestlemainia XX and Bischoffs nephew debut. Now Bischoff is doing everything he can to get rit of Eugene and we see that all year. Actually Bischoff hadn't got his head that far up Bischoffs ass this year, he spends all year fighting Eugene. This a culminated in a hair match at Taboo Tuesday. And here comes point, now comes the thing I wanted to write about in this column: Ever since Bischoff got his head shaved by Eugene his profile has been changing. Since his head was shaved his been like a face, he has been giving Evolution a hard time. He doesn't take that much crap from them anymore and he has really been great these last couple of weeks. So this makes me wonder, Bischoff has been a heel in eight years so how would a face turn be now" I think it could be a great experiment for WWE.

Melburnians are being urged to write to the Catholic Archdiocese of Melbourne in support of Father Bob Maguire, the high-profile and beloved priest who is fighting to stay at his South Melbourne parish next year.
The 2011 Victorian of the Year is due to retire in February, however Father Bob's parishioners want him to stay on.
Two years ago, Father Bob won a battle with Melbourne Archbishop Denis Hart, who wanted him to stand down at the optional retirement age of 75.
After a public outcry, a compromise was reached whereby Father Maguire would retire next February.
But South Melbourne parish spokesman Frank O'Connor said a campaign had been launched to retain his services.
That was despite the Archdiocese of Melbourne signing a contract with the Capuchin religious order to run the parish from February.
"I think what we really need is a respectful transition," Mr O'Connor told 3AW.
"We still believe, and Bob himself still believes, that he's fit and well enough to continue doing what he is doing, but he does understand now, at 77, there will come a time when that mightn't be so.
"What we need to do is get a respectful transition process where Bob can work with someone who's coming on over a period of one or two years or more, so that the important work and the important ethos that happens in that local community can be continued instead of a switch over which may, in fact, end up creating something quite different."
Mr O'Connor urged Melburnians to write a "polite" email or letter to Archbishop Hart to express their support for Father Bob and his work.
The Capuchins are a branch of the Franciscan order, who broke off from the church in 1528 to seek a simpler, monastic style. In Australia, the order has 45 to 50 priests and brothers.
When the South Melbourne contract between the church and the Capuchins was revealed earlier this month, both the Melbourne Archdiocese and Australian head of the Capuchin order, Father Gary Devery, declined to comment.

Report: Charlize Theron and Sean Penn Getting Married Soon and Adopting a Baby Together
Aside from their 15-year age difference (Charlize is 38 and Sean in 53), a lot of people simply wondered: what is she doing with him?
Well, it turns out she just might be marrying him and then adopting a baby with him, according to a new report by Us Weekly (via the Daily Mail).
Us' source says "They want to get married very soon." The two Oscar winners only got together romantically 8 months ago, but have known each other for years. Charlize apparently has seen a change in Sean, and now feels he's "a wiser soul and much more patient."
The Young Adult star also sees Penn as a father figure to her son, Jackson, 2. After they tie the knot, the unlikely couple plan on adopting a baby together. According to the magazine, "Charlize always intended to have another child."
Theron and Penn are just about to start working on a film together, which will be shot in Charlize's native South Africa. The film, The Last Face, will feature Charlize as a doctor doing humanitarian relief work in Africa amidst violent political conflicts in the region. Penn will direct the love story, which co-stars fellow Oscar winner Javier Bardem.
Do you think Sean and Charlize are a good match for each other?

Harvey Fierstein — Broadway's most famous drag queen — will dress as Mrs. Claus while riding downtown on a float in Macy's famous parade.
Fierstein, star of the Broadway musical hit Hairspray and openly gay, wrote an op-ed piece in The New York Times Wednesday promoting his planned homage to Mrs. Claus.
The 49-year-old playwright-actor wrote that "to the delight of millions of little children, the Santa in New York's great parade will be half of a same-sex couple."
"And guess who the other half will be?" he asked. "Me! Harvey Fierstein, nice Jewish boy from Bensonhurst, dressed in holiday finery portraying the one and only Mrs. Claus."
Fierstein will appear as his Hairspray character, Edna Turnblad — but dressed as Mrs. Claus — on the Percy and the P-Birds float, a group of penguin puppets.
"I'm not doing the parade as a political statement," he said in an interview with The Associated Press on Wednesday. "I'm doing the parade because it's the most fun I can possibly have in the world."
Macy's issued a statement saying the parade "has never and will never be a platform for political and social issues and opinions."
Department store spokeswoman Elina Kazan said the traditional Mrs. Claus will ride with Santa on his sleigh as part of the parade's grand finale Thursday. She called Fierstein's alternative version "Edna's interpretation of Mrs. Claus."
Fierstein said he had grown up watching the Macy's Thanksgiving parade. "When they asked me to be in it, I was so thrilled," he told the AP.

Amy stands at 5' 6" or 1.68 m.
Amy kissed both Owen Wilson and Carmen Electra in Starsky and Hutch. They won the Best Kiss catergory in the 2004 MTV Movie Awards.
Amy: A thing I've learned, is how the best people, especially some of the legends are really just people. You have the larger-than-life image of them, and then you realize that they're not trying to be that way. It actually brings up my own confidence. You realize they're just people too. And if they can do it, maybe you can too.
Amy: I think that life is about growth. You continue to grow and progress, hopefully. I think in your past, you go through your insecurity stages, and not feeling good enough, or accepted or whatever, and to know that now, and to go back would have been pretty cool.
Amy: (about director Todd Phillips) He definitely is just more confident as a director now and he brings a level of calmness and focus. He just knows what he wants comedically. It's great to work with somebody confident in that way.
Amy: I think the most gratifying for me was really the one with the heroine junkie prostitute because it was something that I really had to dive into and just go there and be 100 percent committed to it. I did a lot of work on that. We actually went to go see the behavior in this little section of Vancouver that's like the highest populated heroine using section in all of Northern America because of the port from Asia. We got to witness a lot of really messed up people.
Amy: I think that as you get older, you learn to live in yourself more securely. [You] become more confident and sure of who you are.
Amy: (about director Todd Phillips) He's flexible but at the same time he's a good director because he knows what he's looking for. And, to me, I don't particularly like directors who don't have a clear vision and he does. He just keeps getting better and better as a director.
Amy: (about Ryan Reynolds) Ryan was absolutely wonderful to work with. He's so talented and smart and spontaneous. I think what worked was that we both were really comfortable with each other and willing to just play.
Amy: (about Ryan Reynolds) Ryan was really fun to work with and there were moments.
Amy: (about filming in Canada) It was so freezing where you literally ran from the car inside the hotel and felt the cold catch up with you. We had all these heat packets just taped or stickered to our bodies when doing the outdoor scenes.
Amy: (about Ryan Reynolds) He's just so funny. He feels sort of like Jim Carrey to me. There's something similar, I think. But I also think Ryan is great at bringing his heart to a scene when it calls for it. But that car scene was really hard to do.
Amy: (about Anna Faris) She was great. I didn't work with her that much because we didn't have that many scenes, but the scenes that we did have - like our fight - she was just great with that big long purple jacket and her hair. I thought she did a great job with her character.
Amy: Roger [Kumble] directing, he's really about instead of just cutting and re-starting, he's like, 'Take it again, take it again,' while the camera is rolling. He kept it really spontaneous and fun; sometimes really over the top and other times more toward what we were trying.
Amy: (about Canada) I'm from Los Angeles where it doesn't get that cold and I got off the plane and it was negative 52 degrees with a wind chill factor. I've never even gotten close to experiencing that.
Amy: I was always watching one of my friends, Vinessa Shaw, who started acting when she was very young and ironically, got the good-girl role in The '70s. First I studied ballet, and when I danced on stage I loved the attention. Then I finally took the leap and enrolled in an acting class, and I was hooked.
Amy: I get recognized a lot for Felicity. I guess people sort of get hooked on their favorite series and watch them religiously. When fans of Felicity see me, it's like they know me.
Amy: (about her role in Varsity Blues) People still think I'm the one who had sex with a guy and lots of whipped cream. That girl was actually my friend Ali Larter. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that we're both blond.
Amy: Sometimes you just have to take charge. I remember that, when I was doing Felicity it looked like it would conflict with The '70s. I really wanted the chance to play this wild party girl on the miniseries, but I also knew that getting pregnant on Felicity was something I had to do. Finally I called up J.J. Abrams, the Felicity producer and I told him I really wanted to do both and I needed him to help me. That little phone call kept me on the show. I realized how important it was to speak up and not get caught in having an agent or somebody else speak for you. I charged ahead, and I got what I wanted.
Amy: (about playing a pregnant character) I had to put on this pregnant suit, just looking down at my big belly was wild and kind of exciting. I want to have kids eventually, and so I'd go, 'Wow, this is what I'd look like.'
Amy: Growing up I was sort of a tomboy. I was the one skating with the boys. I even played Little League with them. I was the only girl on the team, and they called me 'Smarty Pants.' So I've never had any trouble getting along with a bunch of guys.
Amy: (about her ice skating skills) I took some lessons. That was fun. I took some lessons here and then went up there. I did some of the skating and my stunt double did part. My mom was actually in ice skating. She competed a lot so she was excited that I got to learn how to be an ice skater.
Amy: Vinessa Shaw suggested me as a replacement in a photo shoot, and I got the job. Suddenly I was getting assignments to travel places like Italy, France, Mexico and Tahiti. I wasn't a cover girl, but I was able to pay for my first car and my first apartment. I never worried about getting pigeonholed as a model, because I wasn't getting that much attention.
Amy: I met some single young women who kept their babies. I used to wonder how they could make that kind of mistake and get pregnant. Now I'm much more forgiving, because I realize the love they feel for that child. I have a lot more compassion, which was a huge learning lesson in itself.
Amy: (about her first topless scene) I'd never done nudity before, so I was a little nervous. Then the director, Todd Phillips, told me that he would never forget watching Phoebe Cates drop her top in Fast Time At Ridgemont High. He said it changed his life. I guess that made me feel better.
Amy: I did one action film. It was my first...well at the time I thought it was like my first big role in a film 'cause I was one of the leads. But it turned out to be this horrendous film. 85% of my lines were dubbed. I was in Europe and they called and basically said 'Fly home tomorrow because we need to have the final version in next week.' And I said 'No, I'll be home in a week.' I thought they were bluffing. I figured that they'd wait for me because 85% of my lines is a big chunk. So I called back and asked 'So, are they gonna wait?' And they were like 'No. You know what? They've gone ahead and hired three other people that sound like you. ' So I was like 'Fine! I'll fly home tomorrow.' But they said 'We can't cancel these people because we've already hired them.' And they added 'We do this in Hollywood all the time and nobody can tell.' So I was like 'Okay.' I just let them do and it was horrible. It was made for overseas and I really took it seriously. I thought it was gonna be a really interesting film. It's like this action packed, Vietnamese Mafia style shoot 'em up movie.
Amy: I just sort of take as it comes, and I'm pretty selective. I want to have a good reason for everything I take. And it just so happens that I have two comedies back to back.
Amy: There's something about blondes that triggers a lightheartedness. People can't take you seriously. Brunettes are more mysterious.
Amy: Well, what is acting but the study of human behavior? And that's so fascinating to me. On top of learning about every emotional aspect and living through that when you play a character, but I'm really intrigued by people in general. People watching is the best. But it started off more intellectual because I didn't really have much practice at it. I just learned by the books and by other people's experiences and watching moves and being inspired by that. So it all just kind of really fell into place for me.

The home side consolidated their 3rd place league position with a maximum points win over their 5th place opposition.
The result was largely due to an excellent opening half hour when Park scored three good tries, converting two, and containing the opposition to a penalty goal, to give a half time lead of 19pts to 3pts.
Fly half Rosney set up the first try within 10 mins of the start of he game, his fine break finding centre John James in support, and his pass set up flanker Dyson to open the scoring.
The forwards were playing their part too, and from a penalty against Hoylake at the ruck, skipper Rob Morley took a quick tap and dived over on the blind side to score, both tries being excellently converted by winger Warren Hunt.
From the kick off after Morley's try the ball was fielded by hooker Sterry, quick hands across the back line saw centre Warburton break the defence, and Dyson in support fed winger Hunt to cross for another try, although he was unable to convert on this occasion.
Firmly in the driving seat West Park looked to add to their three tries in the second half and obtain a bonus point, but were denied possession by a resurgent Hoylake team ,who would have made it a much closer contest if their back line had not been so wasteful.
Their forwards were very much in control and held the majority of possession in the second half, aided by some unnecessary kicking away of possession by Park and an apparent inability too often to find touch.
Frustration showed as the home side gave away a number of penalties for indiscipline at the breakdown, and centre Young was able to convert two more to bring the visitors within 10 points of the home side's lead.
It looked as though Park's 4th try and bonus point was not going to come, but another piece of quick thinking by skipper Morley saw his quick tap passed with speed and precision across the backs to find Savage linking up to cross in the corner to score and put make the result safe West Park have no game next week and were unable to re-arrange fixtures that had previously been postponed .
The following week the 1st team travel to Bowden.
Glossop 2nd XV 19 West Park 2nd XV 22.
Fielding a side containing a large number of their Colts team , Park nonetheless were to strong for their opposition, although leaving it late to secure a most creditable win, and match the 1st XV victory at Glossop last week.
Next week the 2nd XV travel to Anselmians.
West Park 3rd XV 15 Birkenhead Park 3rd XV 22.
A shortage of front row forwards necessitated uncontested scrums from the outset in this evenly contested game, one which the home were unlucky to lose.

Backstrom head to the KHL in the last few days, while Logan Couture,
Joe Thornton and Rick Nash have joined teams in Switzerland's National
League A, and Jaromir Jagr, Tomas Plekanec and Ales Hemsky are ready
to skate in the Czech Extraliga.
These guys aren't motivated by money -- they're earning a mere
fraction of what the make in the NHL -- they simply want to remain
competitive and play with top-tier athletes in other professional
As numerous NHL players fight for minimal spots overseas, some
battling insurance issues and tax claims, all seemed well a good.
Until this afternoon.
My buddy Dmitry Chesnokov first broke the news on this part of the
globe in an
article he wrote for Yahoo!.
Edmonton Oilers young star Nail Yakupov was supposed join the KHL club
of Neftekhimik but the IIHF hasn't issued his transfer card yet,
prompting speculation that delays were purposesly being made.
Shortly after the news broke that Yakupov hasn't received his ITC yet,
I confirmed that New Jersey Devils left wing Ilya Kovalchuk is facing
the exact same problem, despite having a press conference earlier
today to welcome him as the captain of SKA in St. Petersburg, Russia.
I was also told Malkin and Ottawa Senators defenseman Sergei Gonchar,
both of whom signed with Metallurg Magnitogorsk, haven't received
their ITCs either, and are unlikely to make their debuts on Thursday
unless they get them beforehand.
A report in the Czech Republic also claims Jagr, Plekanec and Roman
Cervenka are also having difficulties in getting their transfer cards.
However, speaking to another source, this one close to the Swiss
league, none of the players that have signed with their clubs, such as
Thornton, Nash, Couture, Mark Streit and Raphael Diaz, among others,
have not yet run into any problems.
An International Transfer Card (ITC) is issued by the IIHF to every
hockey player. It's purpose is three-fold. First, it helps regulate
players from playing in different parts of the world. Second, it
protects teams from signing players already under contract with
another team in another league. And third, it prevents players who are
penalized in one league for using illegal substances from skipping off
and joining another league.
One IIHF official explained to me late this afternoon that they are
not intentionally holding up any locked out NHL player's ability to
play overseas, they are simply going through the motion.
An ITC needs three signatures from three separate parties -- the
player himself, the outgoing federation (for example, Hockey Canada
for Canadian-based teams and USA Hockey for US-based clubs), and the
incoming federation (for example, the Russian Hockey Federation for
Russian-based clubs). Once all three signatures are issued, it is
approved by the IIHF.
"The IIHF never stalls or delays any transfers," the IIHF official
said. "As soon as it has the three approvals, the player is good to
Two reports -- one in the Czech Republic and one in Russia, claimed
the NHL was behind the "delays."
The NHLPA looked into the matter, I've been told, while the NHL
insists they have nothing to do with it.
According to one high-level NHL executive, the League has not
communicated with the IIHF about "the issuance of transfer cards" and
hasn't been in contact with them since lockout began.
The entire process of issuing an ITC can take up to seven days. If the
outgoing federation does not approve within that timeframe, the IIHF
makes an inquiry and will approve the transfer if an appropriate
reason is not given.
So when a player signs with a club in the KHL, the SM-Liiga (Finland),
or HockeyAllsvenskan (Sweden), for example, and his insurance is
obtained either personally or through the club itself, don't be
surprised if that player doesn't officially play a regular-season game
for them for about one week.
It can be frustrating for some, but it's a tiny price to pay to keep
playing hockey during the NHL lockout.

Cut Down Product Buildup
Most people glop hair products at the front of their heads and work backward. But according to Stefanie Henriquez, a stylist at the Frederic Fekkai salon at the Mark in New York City, this method causes too much product to pile up at the hairline, weighing down the roots. Instead, gather your hair at the nape of your neck and begin the application at the ends, working toward the crown. Use what's left at the hairline.

Just wondering how many people use Stevia/not use Stevia and if it hinders fat loss for them? Experience off and on Stevia?
No announcement yet.
Do You Use Stevia or Not?

Do You Use Stevia or Not?My Journal: http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/thread57916.html
When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be.Tags: None
I liked it, and had no problems with it. It's still a processed food, regardless of how natural it is, unless you are literally using stevia leaves.
I have since moved to a more strict paleo diet, and I don't use any sweeteners of any kind right now.
I used the actual stevia leaves that I order from Mt. Rose Herbs. I never noticed that it had any effect on fat loss, either good or bad.
I am guessing that if one was eating a caloric surplus, much of it added sugars, then replacing the added sugar with stevia might help reduce overall calories and result in fat loss. Just a theory.
I use it occasionally for deserts that need sweetening. But then again, I rarely eat desert now anyway, so hardly ever.
Mark posted an "Is It Primal?" wherein he gave good marks to stevia and even mentioned a few studies linking the use of stevia to improved insulin sensitivity. Just do a search on the main page for "stevia" to find it."The cling and a clang is the metal in my head when I walk. I hear a sort of, this tinging noise - cling clang. The cling clang. So many things happen while walking. The metal in my head clangs and clings as I walk - freaks my balance out. So the natural thought is just clogged up. Totally clogged up. So we need to unplug these dams, and make the the natural flow... It sort of freaks me out. We need to unplug the dams. You cannot stop the natural flow of thought with a cling and a clang..."
I used to and I still use real stevia leaves (Stevia plants like hot weather, btw - they're pretty easy to grow) in the summer on fruit salad or in my coffee grounds or tea bags. But John's right, if it's white powder and it dissolves in liquid it's processed - I don't know how it gets that way, but that's not how "real" leaves act. Stevia drops may be less processed - it's fairly easy to boil stevia leaves and get a super-sweet brew out of them, anyways. I don't know if that's what you buy in the store.
I have the drops and I really want to make jello with lime juice, and I don't think I can take lime juice straight.My Journal: http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/thread57916.html

I use it minimally - just in my coffee twice a day, occasionally a teaspoon in baking to replace some honey or maple syrup in a sweet treat. Doesn't seem to affect my cravings for sweets or my weight.
Not anymore. It sends me off looking for sugar, just like Splenda or that other crap does. Just plain old fruit is sweet enough for me these days.�Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.� Rumi

I think I need to trade in my friends and family for newer, upgraded models :-P DD just turned 4mos old, she's our first, EBF, and I love every minute of it. I do pump before I go to bed at night because she sleeps 12hrs (8pm-8am) and I'd otherwise be engorged by morning. DH's one request was to be able to help feed her before bed, so she gets her pumped bottle with some probiotics every night. Everywhere I go, everyone I talk to lately, keeps asking the same questions - is she getting cereal yet? My MIL BF for 2 weeks then stopped bc of issues, so she not only put DH on formula early, but also added cereals at 2wks to "help him sleep through the night" per dr's orders. He has major food allergies now because of this yet she in no way believes her actions caused this (nor does she believe he has issues to begin with!). So bc I've had issues with her being pushy from the moment DD was born, my MIL will talk in the background to my daughter saying things like "oh, you want real food, don't you" and "yummy, get that food, tell daddy you want to eat that". She drives me up a wall, but I'm getting good at ignoring her since DH won't say much to her and if he does, she still doesn't change. My parents are cool about it. My mother BF me for 6 weeks then wasn't able to keep up when she returned to work so she's pretty excited that I'm able to do this. My parents are also more into healthy eating so they don't question my decisions, like going dairy free at the suggestion of my chiropractor who noticed that DD's early issues seemed dairy related - that lead to sleeping through the night when I changed my diet.
Then there are friends. None of our friends BF'd. And the few I can think of who may have tried, weren't sucessful long-term. Now at 4mos, DD is 25" and 16lbs....she's a solid baby! At birth she was 7.5 19" so she's had awesome growth and has hit her milestones ahead of schedule so far and is on course to be a very early walker. So I feel like people don't see her as a "baby" because of her size and they automatically assume that I should jump into feeding her other things. It kills me when people who never BF their own kids try to give me advice on how to feed my child. Especially one "friend", a mom of 4 who is a nurse, and is completely anti-breastfeeding! Her 6yo daughter asked how people feed babies if they don't use bottles (in response to seeing me covered up nursing my daughter), and she told her "they put them up to their boobies and the babies eats from there". When the 6yo said iiiew, that's gross, rather than taking a chance to explain to her how good and normal it is, her response was "yes it is gross". I was furious when she told me this story afterwards! Talk about raising your kids to be ignorant to other views.
Other people have told me to give her bread, and crackers....you name it! She may be pretty advanced, but she still needs help to balance while sitting and doesn't quite have the "hand-eye" coordination necesssary to eat finger foods! I don't know why everyone is in a rush to move my child along in her eating habits when I'm happy as is!
Sorry, this was a longer vent than I thought it would be. Anyone else had to deal with pople like this, and what did you do? I told my husband I'm not going to stop BFing til DD decides she's had enough, regardless of her age and much to his dismay (he's still squeamish about me BFing in public but I do it anyways, it's not like I let it all hang out!). I'm reading more about going right to solids rather than purees and I kind of like that, I'm def ok with waiting til she's ready. Her 4mo Dr appt is next week and as much as her pedi is ok with some things I do I'm sure she'll bring up food and I'll have to explain to her too. That and I'm leaning more towards no-vax even though we started, but that's a whole seperate issue! Any advice or words of wisdom are appreciated!!
Hi firechick! Just writing to send some encouragement. I'm sorry you don't have many (or any!) breastfeeding support around you. It is so hard to deal with all those comments! You have done awesome to EBF your daughter so far, and great job educating yourself and being committed to breastfeeding her full term!
I find that at least until 6 months and on the issue with solids, it may be helpful to default to "the doctors (American association of pediatrics) currently recommend exclusive breastfeeding until 6 months for x,y,z reasons." For some reason, an educated mother can't be trusted, but doctors know all. When people ask me when I am weaning I often mention that the WHO recommendation is 3 years. But, only if I don't mind the horrified look that usually comes with that...
We did baby led weaning and my son was pretty much exclusively breastfed until about 9 months when he started eating some of the finger foods we offered him. He is 13 months now and has a good appetite some meals/days and eats a ton of solids but other days he is fussy/teething and prefers to mostly nurse. He has been walking for 6 weeks and says at least 8 words. Clearly doing well developmentally.
Hang in there mama! You are doing great. Don't let youself be bullied into compromising what you know is best for your little girl. You may need to just make a matter-of-fact statement that YOU are the mother and you have done your reasearch and know how you want to feed and raise your child. It is not up for discussion/debate!

Well, you can choose to ignore everyone or you can try to re-educate them. I do both, depending on the audience. And, you can ALWAYS come here for support and encouragement.
I am fortunate in that my parents have been relatively supportive so far (my mom's made a few minor comments about me weaning DS now that he's a 19 mos old toddler but has backed off right away when I've told her I am not) but all of my friends save one could not WAIT to wean by 6 months. With them I just don't talk about nursing. I think that the age your DD is at is hardest from this perspective as people often want to start solids at 4 months. That is when I got the most comments and found it hardest to just ignore them. We waited to start solids until 6 months, then did BLW so didn't feed purees, etc. and it was really at least 8 mos before DS was "eating" solids. Hang in there. Once DD is old enough that you DO start solids I think you'll see that people ask fewer questions.
You are doing an awesome thing for your DD!
N, wife to my goofball K and mamma to my EC grad D (July 2010) and my new little love S (May 2013). Exploring the uncharted territory of tandem nursing with my two boys.
I can totally see why you'd be upset about that. Especially the whole MiL talking to your daughter about how she'd like food. I feel you're doing the right thing about being consistent about your wishes without making a fight out of it.
Four months is still too early for cereals, especially wheat. I can't believe they're bothering you about weaning already. I'm still breastfeeding my 18 month old and I love it. We're on a schedule now because she started becoming too obsessed with BF. It works great for us. We did baby-led weaning so she was exclusively breastfed until she was 8 months. After the sixth month most of the mothers in my group weaned and there will be a lot of talk about how it is finally over. I tried to be respectful that they're doing what works for them but I could not help feeling left out. The pediatrician also tried to gently imply that I need to wean but I simply ignored it. Now I don't know anyone who still breastfeeds and sometimes it feels lonely. Honestly though, I can't imagine weaning her already. I gave myself as a deadline when she goes to Kindergarten next year.
My advice is accept that it is going to get lonely sometimes doing things differently. And perhaps engage your MiL on how she feels about seeing you BF when she weaned so early. She might be feeling like she missed out on something and unconsciously acting out towards you.
My MiL did not like the fact that I exclusively carried my baby for the first 6 months and I'd hear some subtle remarks here and there about how it's bad for her back or her feet (color me confused). They only complained to DH about it when I was not there. I just ignored the whole thing and would intermittently announce how much I love carrying her. Nowadays (blame this on my tendency to provoke) I sometimes just say how much I love breastfeeding my baby girl and how I'm going to miss it when I finally wean. The reactions range from uncomfortable to genuine curiosity.
We have to do what is right for us. If some one has an issue with it, I (try to) remind myself that it is their problem not mine.

Depending where you live, you can find an AP / Natural parents playgroup in your area and join. Even if you are not in a bigger town/city where there are more options, I recommend going to the "Finding Your Tribe" forums: http://www.mothering.com/community/f/7/finding-your-tribe , finding your local area, and starting a thread to see if there are other like-minded mamas near you. There may be, even if you're in the middle of nowhere! I am in Europe and I met two of my good mama friends in the local Finding Your Tribe forum. Spending time with them (they are also BFing their toddlers like me) helps me remember that extended BFing is natural and healthy and right.
It is so essential to have like-minded friends or even just acquaintances to spend time with. I hope you can find some so you might feel better about dropping people like your friend who told her daughter BFing is gross.
I'm sorry you are going through this and I wish you the best of luck!

I have a similar yet different situation. I have friends who nurse for long, my family and DH's family is supportive, it is DH who is not. I get snide remarks about it all the time ("Is she nursing again?" "When will you nightwean her?" "Night nursing beyond 13 months is just ridiculous!"). He has always put me under lots of pressure for it and he won't change. People generally don't change their attitude towards nursing. The only people that do are moms who breastfeed and then do it longer than they first thought. Men never change their views, they cannot relate at all. At least in my experience.
Your circle of friends are weird! Starting solids at about 6 months is pretty mainstream... why is everyone starting early?
You're on the side of science and mainstream medicine here. If your mother in law or friends suggest feeding food to a four-month-old, just laugh at them.
These people are ignorant. Point out to them how your daughter is thriving! Clearly you're doing it right. I got/get badgered about my 8 month old who still gets the vast majority of his calories via breastfeeding. I started offering some fingerfoods and a puree or two when he was 6 months and he had zero interest until just a few weeks ago. He's hitting many of his milestones early, too! So to the doubters. Your baby is doing just fine and so are you.

First I applaud you for doing what you know in your heart is the right thing for both you and your child. Though she may not understand this yet being so little, you are showing her the importance of standing up for what you believe in. Breast milk is the best milk for babies and their little tummies are not yet ready to properly digest solid food until they are at least 6 months. Clearly she is doing well with what she is receiving as her growth proves that. You are doing an awesome job! Keep up the good work and re-read these uplifting posts from the mamas here when you are feeling discouraged, disappointed and angry at those who are not supporting you. You certainly have support here! Blessings!!!!
Breastfeeding passes on immunizations and so many other health intangibles that formula just cannot recreate you'd really have to have a good excuse to not do it (BF).

Hi, Caitlin:
Your .wav question was, "Can a person still have a heart attack with a pacemaker?"
Yes. Heart attacks, in the way we usually talk about heart attacks, are caused when the heart muscle cannot get enough oxygen. This mainly occurs when one or more of the coronary (heart) arteries become blocked by fat or cholesterol. The heart rhythm that is usually fatal with a heart attack is caused by the heart beating too rapidly which causes it to need more oxygen which it already cannot get enough of, which causes it to beat more rapidly, etc. until it finally fibrillates or, a better word maybe, vibrates and does not beat at all.
Thanks for your question.
Your Occluded Key Pal,
Mr. D
Your .wav question was, "Have pacemakers saved peoples lives."
Yes, and they continue to do so on a daily basis. Many people have diseases of the conduction system of the heart and may "pass out" due to them. If the person has passed out because the heart rate is very slow, or not there at all, a temporary pacemaker may be able to revive that person and keep him, or her, alive until a permanent pacemaker can be implanted.
Your Palpitatin' Key Pal,
Mr. D
Your .wav question was, "How many people do I know who have pacemakers?"
I know hundreds of people who have pacemakers If you mean how many people in the world have pacemakers, the answer is hundreds of thousands. I will attempt to get the exact number for you when I return to work from vacation.
Your countin' Key Pal,
Mr. D
Your .wav question was, "Can your heart stop beating even if you have a pacemaker?"
Don't let Mrs. Weeg hear this, but the answer is, technically, yes. If the pacemaker and it's heart wire, called a lead (pronounced 'leed') are functioning normally it is extremely unlikely that the heart will stop beating. There are some medical conditions that can occur that will prevent the heart from "beating" in a normal way. Usually, the patient is very sick and in the hospital if any of these conditions are present.
Thanks for your question.
Your Lub-dup Key Pal,
Mr. D
Your questions was, "How could a person die if they had a pacemaker?"
The pacemaker only replaces the electrical system in the heart. If a person has a heart attack, for example, the oxygen is cut of from the muscle which will cause the heart to stop because of "mechanical" reasons. Heart muscle needs huge amounts of oxygen in order to do its job and when that oxygen cannot get to the muscle, it dies. The pacemaker can only 'pace' good heart muscle.
Hope this answers your question.
Your Ischemic Key Pal,
Mr. D
Your question was, "Would a giant pacemaker have to be powered by an electric pole?"
Huh? No, it would have to be powered by a giant battery. I'm sure you have seen the commercials for the "Energizer T-Rex" - it keeps munching and munching and munch. . .
Thanks for the question.
Your Dino Key Pal,
Mr. D
Your question was, "What animals have pacemakers?"
Besides us humans, the most popular animals to get pacemakers are dogs. There are a few in horses and a rare few in other types of animals. I do not know of a cat with a pacemaker, but I am sure there are some. We once placed a pacemaker in a Kangaroo named Skippy in San Diego. I am certain that a few primates (Chimps and Gorillas, especially) have been "re-energized" by pacemakers.
Hope this answers your question.
Your Primate Key Pal,
Mr. D

I recently filed a dispute to get the status of my federal student loans changed. They were reported as delinquent because of missed payments. However there was a forbearance put on the account, and after the dispute, the status was updated to transferred/closed. Should my score improve with this update?
Dear CMW,
A status of "transferred/closed" on your student loan account indicates that the debt was transferred or sold to another lender. If so, the original account will no longer show a balance because you no longer owe a debt to that company.
However, your credit report will still show the history of the account. Any late payments made before it was transferred or granted forbearance will remain on the report for up to seven years from the date the debt first became delinquent. While the old accounts will no longer show a balance, the payment history will still affect your credit scores.
New account entries will show the debts under the lender to whom the account was transferred along with the balance you owe. If these accounts are currently in forbearance or deferment, the status should reflect that fact as well.
Thanks for asking.
The "Ask Experian" team

The central defender lasted just four minutes of Wednesday night's 1-1 draw at Everton and boss Arsene Wenger told the media after the game that he expects the player to be out for at least three weeks.
Meanwhile Wenger was delighted to take a point away from Goodison Park despite the fact they squandered the lead after Theo Walcott had given them the perfect start in the opening minute.
Marouane Fellaini equalised for the home side in the 28th minute and although Wenger was unhappy with the manner it was conceded he was pleased to take a point.
"It was a game of big physical intensity, we had a good start and after that I felt Everton came back into it and their direct game was always a threat," he said.
"There are regrets on the goal we conceded but 1-1 is a fair result and it is a good point here. We needed to show great spirit to get away with a point and I am pleased with the effort they put into the game."

At a cost of $2.3 billion, this project will employ approximately 4,000 American workers during the construction project and many more jobs that are created at U.S. companies manufacturing all the materials needed to build such a large piece of energy infrastructure. Included in the cost of $2.3 billion is the U.S. $300 million, 76-kilometer Houston Lateral pipeline that will transport oil from Cushing, Oklahoma to Houston refineries as well.U.S. crude oil production has been growing significantly in states such as Oklahoma, Texas, North Dakota and Montana. And producers do not have access to enough pipeline capacity today to move that production to the large refining market on the U.S. Gulf Coast. The Gulf Coast project will address that constraint and at the same time, allow Gulf Coast refiners access to lower-cost domestic production and avoid paying premium to foreign oil producers.

Both Microsoft and Sony held press conferences at Gamescom 2014 yesterday and I wanted to recap what we learned. We'll start with Microsoft's biggest (arguably) bombshell: they've managed to secure some kind of exclusivity for 2015's Rise of a Tomb Raider. The Tomb Raider franchise has always been multi-platform so this is kind of a big deal. Of course "exclusive" is always a tricky word in the gaming world. Sometimes it ends up meaning "timed exclusive" (in other words, it comes out on one platform first) and sometimes in means "console exclusive" (meaning it'll come out on PC as well as whatever console claims the exclusive). For now developer Crystal Dynamics is just calling it an "Xbox exclusive." Microsoft also announced several new bundles, including the $500 "Xbox One Limited Edition Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare Bundle" which includes a Call of Duty-themed Xbox One, a digital copy of Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, a chat headset, some in-game items and a 1 TB drive (instead of the usual 500 GBs). This bundle arrives on November 3rd. There's also a $400 Sunset Overdrive bundle that features a white Xbox One, a digital copy of the game and some in-game items, (launches October 28th) and a $400 FIFA bundle that includes a standard Xbox One, a chat headset, digital copy of the game and an Ultimate Team Legends Gold Pack (launches September 25th). That Call of Duty bundle would've been a lot more interesting before Microsoft started supporting external hard drives. Bumping the price up $100 over the other bundles and adding 500 GB of drive space means you're paying a premium for that extra space. It's also worth pointing out that none of these bundles include Kinect. You can learn more at Xbox Wire. In terms of new game announcements, Microsoft talked up their ID@Xbox initiative and showed a montage of indie games coming to the platform:
Some of these are new, some of them we already knew about. Going from memory I believe Superhot, Goat Simulator and Space Engineers are all brand new to the Xbox One platform. Also announced was Screamride which looked like a cross between Rollercoaster Tychoon and Kerbal Space Program. And the Xbox One is getting "the Halo Channel" which looks like an app to keep you connected to all things Halo. In terms of improvements to the Xbox One itself, Microsoft announced that pre-ordering and pre-downloading digital games is finally coming. Forza Horizons 2 will be the first game that supports this new feature. Good work on catching up the PS4 on that front. Prior to the press conference Microsoft also announced some other new features coming to Xbox One. Finally we're getting a "Media Center" app through which we'll be able to watch our own media, though initially only from USB drives (though DLNA support is still coming). In regions where the Xbox One Digital TV Tuner is available, you'll be able to stream TV from your Xbox to a device running SmartGlass. Hopefully we'll get that functionality here in North American soon, too. You can now set up your Xbox One to boot right into the TV app, which will be a welcome addition for those of us who have family members who just want to watch TV and feel a little resentful about having to fiddle with the Xbox One to do it. There are a few more interesting features plus a full list of media formats supported over at the Major Nelson blog. So that finishes up Microsoft. It felt pretty light on game announcements to me, though we saw lots of footage of games we already knew were in the pipeline. Sony didn't have any bundles to talk about but I guess they don't feel like they need them. At their press conference the company announced that it has sold (to end consumers) 10 million Playstation 4 consoles. That's a pretty impressive launch year so far. In terms of new games, the ones I caught were DayZ (the zombie survival game so popular on PC), Alienation (a twin-stick shooter from Housemarque), Tearaway Unfolded from Media Molecule, Hellblade from NinjaTheory, The Tomorrow Children from Q-Games, HollowPoint from Ruffian Games, The Vanishing of Ethan Carter from The Astronauts, P.T., a horror game from 7780s Studio, Volume from Mike Bithell, and to cap the show, Wild from Michel Ancel's Wild Sheep Studios. Sony also talked about System Update 2.0, scheduled to arrive this fall. It brings with it Share Play, a system that lets you "pass the controller" to a friend online. (Remember this from the initial Playstation 4 reveal? The gimmick was one player couldn't get through a tough section of a game so he got his friend online to take over the game for him and beat that section.) You can also play mulitplayer with a friend the same way. The one caveat is that you and your friend have to be Playstation Plus members, but counter-balancing that condition is the fact that your friend doesn't have to own the game. There are a lot of details that we don't know. Biggest question I have is what the bandwidth requirements are because it seems to me you must have to do some kind of streaming to your friend (otherwise he'd have to download the whole game before he could join you). If it works it'll be a pretty incredible feature, though. In addition to Share Play, Update 2.0 will (finally!) let you upload video directly to YouTube, and give you a dedicated YouTube app as well. You can learn more about Share Play and Update 2.0 on the Playstation blog. I was hoping to hear Sony counter Microsoft's Media App announcement with one of their own, but no such luck. And that was about it. My take-away was that the Microsoft Press Conference was focused on selling Xbox Ones and hammering home the strength of their existing lineup, while the Sony Press Conference was more about re-assuring existing customers that there's a huge lineup of games in the pipeline. If you watched the conferences, what did you think? Here're some trailers: Hellblade (PS4)

Sports can instruct in discipline, work ethic, teamwork, and submission to authority.Recently the NBA decided to use an ad to take on a controversial subject matter: the bullying of homosexuals.

A BRAVE three-year-old and his mum are urging women to enter Race for Life.
Young cancer battler Lucas Thorpe and mum Jodie Rothwell will be guests of honour at a 5k Race for Life.
Ms Rothwell said: "I'm so grateful for the research that helped Lucas, and now I want to help others by supporting Cancer Research UK's work and taking part in Race for Life.
"He is an amazing little boy and it was joy to see him start pre-school when we didn't know if he would even survive the night at one point."
Lucas, from Hindsford, Atherton, was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer when he was 11 months old.
He had been a healthy baby until he became lethargic and developed repeated high temperatures, vomiting and diarrhoea when he was about eight months old.
Despite repeated visits to the GP and hospital, mum Jodie was unable to discover what was wrong.
Lucas, who has older siblings, Molly and Jordan, was referred to the Royal Manchester Children's Hospital for an MRI scan.
Doctors found a mass on his bladder and, three days later, Lucas's kidneys failed and he had to be kept in the high-dependency unit until he was stable enough to undergo surgery.
The tumour was removed from his bladder, but it had already spread to his urethra and prostate.
A biopsy of the removed tumour revealed Lucas had rhabdomyosarcoma — only the second time doctors had ever seen the rare form of cancer in a baby.
Lucas had chemotherapy, but also needed specialist radiotherapy — proton beam therapy. His organs were too immature to cope with standard radiotherapy, so he was referred to the USA for further treatment.
The family travelled to Jacksonville in December, 2011. But they flew out immediately after Lucas's chemotherapy and his compromised immune system led to him developing pneumonia and septicaemia two days after arriving.
Lucas fought for his life in the intensive care unit.
At one point, his parents Jodie and Dale were told he was not expected to last the night.
Against the odds, Lucas survived, despite nearly losing his right arm and leg. He was placed in a hyperbaric chamber and leeches were used to oxygenate his blood.
The septicaemia caused Lucas to lose half of his right foot and the tips of his toes and fingers.
After returning to the UK, Lucas underwent further chemotherapy. He still has regular check-ups and has learned to adapt to his missing fingertips.
He recently joined the pre-school at St George's Central Primary School in Tyldesley, and mum Jodie is studying to become a nurse.
Jen Ward, Cancer Research UK's Leigh events manager, said: "We are thrilled that Jodie and Lucas will be our special guests at Race for Life in Leigh on June 8."
This year, organisers need 1,300 women and girls to stride out at Pennington Flash in Leigh and help to raise £80,000.
Bolton's Race For Life takes place on Sunday, July 6, in Leverhulme Park.
To enter Race for Life Bolton go to raceforlife.org or call 0845 6006050.

Keeping freshly painted fingertips out of your purse is the first rule of mani-pedis—or at least it used to be. At Great Spa, you can feel free to dig around for your keys the second the UV lamp clicks off. Gel nail polish takes only about 10 extra minutes to dry and is much more durable and long-lasting than typical polish. Gel manicures are just part of a day of pampering at the spa, though. Other beauty experts cut hair, cleanse skin with facials, knead away stress with massages, and removal hair with warm wax.

Hello. I had surgery 10 days ago. I am very happy with my results. How much will this change? I have read 10% to 15% but can you explain this in more detail? I went with 350 & 375 saline moderate plus submuscular overfilled to 410 & 375. I told my surgeon I wanted to be a full C (fuller, more cleavage) and to have it look proportionate to my body. I am 5'3 121 pounds. I am afraid that they will get smaller. I had very minimal bruising.

Doctor Answers 10
Swelling after a breast augmentation
They probably won't go down too much, but I would wait 2-3 months for the swelling to resolve before making any final judgements on your results.
Learn more: http://www.baltimoreplasticsurgery.com/Procedures_BreastAugmentation_865362.aspx
Concerns About Size
There really isn't much swelling, especially with no bruising, and the '10% to 15%' size change is a common myth that is not based in fact. What changes most after breast augmentation surgery is the shape of your breast, especially with saline implants. Your breast will begin to settle in the next few weeks to months, and some people perceive this as a size change: some think they look bigger, others smaller. But in reality, not much change in volume as occurred, if any.
Looking at your ten day post op photo, you look like you are pretty full of implant, and your surgeon was wise to go no larger in size, as they would have ended up malpositioned too high on your chest. What you told your surgeon about cup size should have been addressed prior to your surgery: there is no way to accurately or consistently give a patient a cup size guarantee. Keep in mind that your already very large implants will do things to your breast that you may not like in the distant, and not so distant future: thinning your breast tissue and stretching your skin, causing rippling and implant changes in shape and position. Having gone larger would have only made these issues more significant.
It is early in your post op period, and you should be happy that all seems well. Follow up with your doctor and I'm sure you will be fine. Be satisfied knowing that this is about as big as you could safely be.
Best of luck!

Implants after 10 days
At ten days post surgery you are still swollen. This will change with time and the swelling will go down some more. How much is variable for each patient.
You might also like...
Picking an implant size
If there is any doubt about the size for an implant it the question you want to ask is: if a mistake in implant size is made how do you want it made, too big or too small. I almost never have a woman tell me to err on the small size. Currently we use the Vectra 3D imaging system. In use over 1 year I have not had one patient not satisfied with their size. It is a great educational tool and reduces pre-op anxiety.
Post operative changes in size
It looks like you are doing well and have a normal amount of swelling. I tell my patients that from this point on the size doesn't change much but it just gets softer and less tense. It looks like you will have a very nice result. Congratulations.
I Am Happy with my Current Size. How Much Will my Size Change?
Your size will change only slightly over the next several months.
Your implants will settle into a natural position.
It appears you are doing very well - enjoy your new appearance!
All the best.

Am Happy with my Current Size. How Much Will my Size Change?
I wouldn't expect much overall size change. What I would expect is less bulge in the upper breast and more filling of the lower breast. Looks like a nice result.
All the best.
Not much change in breast volume due to resolution of swelling after breast augmentation.
It 10 days there certainly some swelling in the breasts but not a great amount. As the swelling subsides the volume of the breasts will decrease very little but the distribution of a volume will be significant.
Learn more: http://www.zubowicz.com/subpag,13-atlanta-breast-augmentation.htm
Size after surger
It is very common to feel anxious about your body changes after surgery. There are many changes that will happen after your surgery is complete. You surgeon will be the best person to answer these questions for you, but generally speaking it takes 3 months or so for most patients to heal and assume their stable postoperative result.
It looks like you have the beginnings of a very nice result and I would suspect you will like your breast shape and size when you have fully healed. Be patient with the healing process and make sure you keep your postoperative visits with your surgeon.
Best of luck!
Breast Size Change after Breast Augmentation Surgery?
Congratulations on having undergone the breast augmentation procedure.
Although your concerns are understandable, given that only your plastic surgeon knows exactly what was done when it comes to breast implant pocket dissection etc., He/she will be your best resource for accurate answers and/or reassurance.
I would suggest that you don't worry too much about what you read or hear…
Generally speaking, most of my patients who are pleased with the results of surgery early out of the procedure ( as you seem to be), tend to be happy in the long term also.
Enjoy the outcome of the procedure performed!
