5.0 stars 6 totalReview Alex Hess
Posted by Jenny
I called Alex regarding a situation pertaining to my late mother's passing, and he provided extremely useful advice at no charge. He suggested based on the details of my situation that I do the filings myself instead of hiring an attorney. If the brief consultation that I got from Alex is any indication of how he conducts his business, I'm confident that he'd provide honest advice and good work, which is hard to come by in this business. Thank you so much!

Alex defended me in my case and was very helpful and reassuring. He goes through everything with me thoroughly and executed his plans flawlessly. I never had such a wonderful lawyer before, I would definitely recommend him to everyone.

From the moment I met with Alex, I instantly felt better. I was going through a really rough time, and he made the whole process so much better. He filed a Chapter 7 bankruptcy for me, and he handled it so well. When we went to the 341 Meeting I saw so many other attorneys who were clearly unprepared and didn't care about their client's case. Alex had not only prepared me well for the meeting, but he also prepared himself, and that preparation was obvious once the trustee started with her questions. I'm so happy to recommend Alex to others I know are going through the same thing. I know he can help them too!

When I first got arrested, probation interviewed me and my income disqualified me from receiving a public defender. I was referred to Attorney Alex Hess through a previous attorney because of his criminal defense experience and his handling of felony cases in the past. From the start, Attorney Hess diligently investigated my case, interviewed witnesses, and dispelled the many accusations and circumstances the DA alleged in their police report. Despite my criminal record, Attorney Hess was able to get me bail, and worked hard to defend the criminal charges against me, and advocated for me in criminal court.
I was very happy with Attorney Hess's representation, ability to represent me in court, and work with the DA's to disprove the allegations against me. Ultimately, he was able to disprove many of the allegations against me, and obtain a favorable deal where i received probation instead of jail time. I was very pleased with Attorney Hess's work, and his defense of my case. I highly recommend him for criminal matters.

Attorney Hess prosecuted my claim for fraud in Bankruptcy Court (Boston), and stopped a former business partner from defrauding me out of lots of money. After our relationship soured, my former business partner took off and he owed me over $70,000. I couldn't find him for months, and months down the road I received papers that he filed a bankruptcy in Massachusetts and was trying to avoid paying me the money he owed me.
Attorney Hess with the help of Richard Gottlieb's office successfully sued him in Bankruptcy Court (I didn't even know you could do that), and received an order from the judge that he couldn't discharge my debt. He tried to defraud me out of a lot of money and Attorney Hess did a great job in court proving fraud and that he really did owe me the money. I would use their office again for any service. Their office was friendly, responsive to calls and emails, and made the entire process easy to understand.

Alex, and the team at The Law Offices of Richard N. Gottlieb, vigorously defended my in Bankruptcy Court after a creditor sued me for fraud. At each court hearing, Alex defended me, won in court, and ultimately won my case and eliminated all of my debts. I was very confused by the bankruptcy process and worried after getting sued, but Alex made me very comfortable and actually listened to me and made the legal process understandable. His knowledge of the law coupled with his strong advocacy skills helped me to win my case.
I trust Alex and his team, and would absolutely go to them if I ever need a lawyer again.

With a year of experience under his belt and a new spread offense that better fits his playing style, Taylor is primed for a breakout season. Son of former Gator and NFL running back Fred Taylor, Kelvin says his dad offered him some advice as he enters his first full season as the starter.
"He just told me to continue to work hard, be a coachable guy, and trust me eyes. He's always telling me to trust me eyes and play fast," said Taylor.
Playing fast seems to be the new mantra for Florida's offense this year. New offensive coordinator Kurt Rope has brought excitement back into the Gators locker room while installing his no-huddle spread attack.
"I'm extremely excited about the new offense and the fast-paced tempo," said Taylor. "It gets us out in space to make some big time plays. There's going to be a lot of explosive runs this year."
Roper has stated that he wants to run a new play "every 10-22 seconds" after the previous play is called dead, a drastic change from the slow-paced, possession-focused offense in Muschamp's first three seasons as head coach. Taylor says it's the simplicity of Roper's offense that allows the team to be able to send in new plays in such a short time frame.
"Coach Kurt's offense is very easy to learn and pick up, it helps you play faster. You really don't have to think too much, you just go out there and play," said Taylor.
Taylor says he believes Florida's ability to play at such a fast pace will enable the Gators to wear down defenses in the fourth quarter.
"This offseason we really worked hard to get in great shape… running a lot, conditioning a lot, just getting ready to play fast. The defense is going to be tired and we're just gonna keep gashing guys. It's going to be really fun to go out there and play in this type of offense," said Taylor.
It's not just the pace of the offense that excites Taylor, it's also the style of play it encourages as well. In spreading the field out with more three and four wide receiver sets, Florida's playmakers will now have the opportunity to make more plays out on the perimeter.
"Playing in space is what we love to do," said Taylor. "Getting 1-on-1's with linebackers, I really don't think there are too many guys out there that can tackle all of us in space."
While the offense as a whole looks to install the new scheme during camp, Taylor says he'll be working on two specific aspects of his game during the next few weeks in an effort to become a more well-rounded player.
"I'm really trying to develop my pass blocking'" said Taylor. "That's something I've been working on all offseason, that and catching the ball out of the backfield. I'm just trying to be a complete running back."
If he's able to put it all together like he hopes, Kelvin Taylor could be a national household name by season's end.

The Jupiter 2 is travelling through space. On board Will, the Robot and Dr. Smith are listening to "space music", which is the random electromagentic radiation that is travelling through space. They pick up a distinct signal and hear a call for medical assistance from the Xenian Galaxy. Smith is tempted to answer the call for help because they offer a reward, but Will talks him out of if.
Moments later Smith is in the Space Pod, which is making its first appearance on the show. He is trying to start the Space Pod to fly to the Xenian Galaxy. The Robot interrupts him, and as they argue the Space Pod is accidentally launched.
They arrive at the Xenian Space Probe and discover that the aliens who need his assistance are in fact robots, and the patient they need help for is their leader, a large machine. The leader has such total control over the robots that when the leader stops, all the robots stop, too. Smith believes that the leader cannot be saved, but the Robot thinks otherwise.
Meanwhile, the Robinsons have returned to rescue Dr. Smith and the Robot from this dilemma. John Robinson and Don West are taken prisoner. The aliens kidnap Will from the Jupiter 2 and use him to try to force the Robot to operate on their leader and save him. The Robot agrees. The Robot operates on the leader and saves him. In the process, the Robot convinces the leader to let the Robinson party leave on the Jupiter 2.
Background informationEdit
- This is the first appearance of the Space Pod. The miniature pod is being fitted into a Jupiter 2 miniature at the right (It's hidden by the clapboard). To give a sense of scale, this is the 36" Jupiter 2 model. There was also a 18" one as well as the full scale mock-up seen in "Visit to a Hostile Planet."
- During the fight scene in the jail cell, the table leg that Professor Robinson uses as a weapon is bent at an odd angle, revealing it to be a prop and not a real table leg.
- The bubble creatures' spaceship from The Derelict is seen again here.
- The Robot states that he was programmed in pre-med courses for two semesters at the Institute of Cybernetics. He was first in his class. But when he decided he was more interested in space exploration, he changed his major subject.
- Penny and Judy share a room on the Jupiter 2.
- Jonathan Harris shines at low comedy in this episode, adding touches like not being capable of putting on surgical gloves. But perhaps the high point is when the Leader stops temporarily and this paralyzes all of the aliens. After confirming they're deactivated, Smith turns to the Robot and cries out "Let's vacate the premises, ninny!"
- When Dr. Smith is ill with the "Space Plague", Major West warns that it will "spread all over the ship". But the occupants of the ship are machines and will not be affected by the illness.
- After two great episodes aired to begin season three of LIS and the momentum riding high in September 1967 viewers tuned in to view Kidnapped in Space which aired on 9/20/1967 on CBS.
This episode is a bit of a let down and here are a few reasons why. Starts out good and then just fissles out mid way. We see the introduction of the Space Pod which is a plus and is more than welcomed in year three. There are some nice special effects in Kidnapped as we see the J2/ Derelict ship scene recycled here.Lost in Space still has a problem,confusing star system with galaxy.
- ==Reception==
The aliens are pretty cool Men dressed in skullcaps and silver suits,-a favorite of many Irwin Allen television productions.The Ladies with cosmic hair doos and silver makeup. I guess typical aliens you would meet in space-somewhat derived from Vera,the android character of previous seasons. A very good scene in Kidnapped happens when John Robinson and Major West come aboard the Alien ship looking for Smith and the Robot and are engaged in, a good ole fashioned laser shootout. Bombs explode above Marks head and he fliches upon explosion. Now the bad, the episode takes a turn for the worse when Dr Smith is asked to operate on the alien computer and the Robot insists Smith isn't a medical doctor and can't operate. I guess the Robot wasn't watching LIS for the last two seasons.Where the Robot got this and other abilities,is unknown,since he never showed these talents before,despite him,saying,that they were programmed into his basic memmory banks,before the Jupiters launch from earth.Whereas Smith,has mentioned his skills in cybernetics and computer systems,earlier in the series.
It was Dr Smith who gave the Robinsons a clean bill of health at launch. What were the writers thinking to insist Smith isn't a medical Doctor????This episode goes even further down hill when Professor Robinson is killed via an alien laser gun but is brought back to life by a clock these aliens wear.Something,handy,for future episodes,when things get dangerous for the Space Family Robinsons. Even worse is when Smith is turned into a Boy after playing with a clock but brought back to a Man again via the alien computer who the Robot operates on.I don't why the young Zachery Smith has his adult voice and the boy really doesn't really look much like adult version anyhow. If I had to rate this episode on a scale of 1 - 10 I would give it a 5 only because the first twenty minutes are pretty good. After the first twenty minutes of Kidnapped in Space switch the channel over to ABC and watch Batman.After all,whats the difference,both are written the same.===

I am writing in opposition to use of Gonadotropin Relasing Hormone (GnRH) agonist testing in disorders of puberty. Having personally spent 9 months on the GnRH treatment Leueprolide Acetate, I understand all too well the safety and ethical issues involved in the use of GnRH agonists on children, as I suffered from serious GnRH side effects. I believe enough research has been published formally in journal articles to warrant discretion in the use of GnRH on vulnerable populations such as children. I am including a number of these articles for your review. (See attachment for full listing of articles)

Thread: Learning through Play
21st July 2014 07:24 AM #1
Learning through Play
Both research and experience show that the very best way for children to learn is through play. Children's brains are often referred to as sponge-like; they absorb what is all around them naturally, without needing to be in a formal learning/teaching environment. The natural world is perhaps a child's most appropriate and wonderful classroom with an unlimited end of resources and unrivalled learning opportunities.
The latest research into children's learning indicates that children should be given the opportunity to predominately learn through play until at least the age of 7 and beyond this age children still get immense benefit from learning naturally as they play. The evidence also shows that, at least until the age of 6, children should ideally spend at least 50% of their time playing outside.
What are your thoughts on learning through play? Is this something that forms part of your family life and your children's education? Have you come across any barriers to enabling your children to learn through play?
I have found that it comes naturally to embrace learning through play, fun and exploration right from the start. It is incredible watching my babies and children develop (without pressure or expectation) and fascinating to hear the questions they ask and the thoughts they have. It seems a real shame to me that learning often becomes so structured as children grow older. I hope that all education centres will take on-board the evidence about the benefits of learning through play. I hope that children everywhere have the opportunity to learn through play.

My children love to play and learn on their own when allowed to free play. We don't send our children to school so mostly everything they learn they learn through play and living life.
For example my 5 year old collected a bag of coins and today separated all the coins and asked many questions about the coins and added them all up.
This was a learning experience that was not planned nor forced. He figured out how to count coins, how to separate them, how they feel, the difference between them all through play. He came up with the idea all on his own.
This is how our days flow....the children come to me with questions and we explore and learn....they have the most fun learning in this fashion.
Great post...I'd love to hear how others play and learn.
26th August 2014 04:52 AM #3
Thank you so much for sharing your experiences and stories about learning through play. I am finding that it is so important for me, as a parent, to step back and give my children the freedom to explore the world as they choose to (safely of course, but in their own way and time). My children have amazed me with the way they naturally learn to count, learn letters, find out about nature....the list is endless!
Warm wishes,

It was nice reading your posts here. I was wrong to enroll my son in a traditional school. I believe that it's not too late to make up with my kid then. Thank you.

Don't feel guilty - we all learn through experience and you are doing the very best for your son. LJ

Javier Bardem might share initials in common with super-spy James Bond, but the debonair Oscar-winner will be carrying the burden of another key ingredient in the Broccoli-owned franchise, when #23 begins shooting – Bond Villain!
Entering the villain hall of fame as Anton Chigurh in "No Country for Old Men," the charismatic Spaniard then reverted to his love-interest label for "Vicky Cristina Barcelona" and "Eat Pray Love," and fans will be excited to see him cross to the dark side again to take on Daniel Craig for the installment being directed by Sam Mendes ("American Beauty" "Road to Perdition" "Revolutionary Road) and being lensed by "No Country's" cinematographer, Roger Deakins.
Judi Dench is slated to return as "M," Naomie Harris is cast as Moneypenny and Ralph Fiennes has also been brought on board.

Betty White to be honoured by American Humane Association
The animal lover will be feted at a Beverly Hilton Hotel gala next month (06Oct12) in California.
The star-studded evening will also honour America's most courageous dogs.
Thrilled White says, "I'm very grateful to American Humane Association for these wonderful honours. I got involved with this terrific charity 60 years ago because of our shared commitment to the welfare of animals. As an actor, I saw first-hand the crucial work American Humane Association was doing to protect animals in entertainment through their 'No Animals Were Harmed' certification programme, which has kept more than a million of our most beloved co-stars safe on set.
"Now I'm excited that American Humane Association has given a starring role to our nation's most courageous canines by creating the Hero Dog Awards, which celebrate the incredible bond between people and animals, and how important we are to each other."

IN 1938 Orson Welles shocked the radio audience with his realistic adaptation of ''The War of the Worlds.''
Sean Burns, 9, of Chappaqua had a similar reaction recently when he turned to his favorite rock station, WRGX-FM, 107.1, which is in Hawthorne, and heard nothing but musical themes from old television shows.
''He thought Martians had taken over the station,'' his mother, Leslie Lew Burns, said.
At the same time in Long Branch, N.J., listeners to a golden-oldie station, WZVU-FM, 107.1, lost their favorite music while those tuned to WWHB-FM, 107.1, in Hampton Bays wondered what happened to the traditional rock.
Two days later the television theme-show music disappeared. No aliens had landed, but the stations were suddenly playing ballads of lost loves, lonesome prairies and woeful ventures into gambling.
A company called Odyssey Communications, which operates three stations spanning the New York City region, established a ''trimulcast'' called New Country Y-107, all synchronized to 107.1 FM.Continue reading the main story
''We needed some time to physically gear up for the format change,'' said Steve Blatter, vice president of programming for Odyssey, explaining the mysterious episode. The ''Y'' in the call letters was chosen because it was an easy way to remember the station position on the dial and would help create a different identity, Mr. Blatter said. Mike Kakoyiannis, the company's president and chief executive officer, said: ''Radio's largest market has gone too long without a country radio station. The format opportunity has been obvious, the need has been obvious, the support has been obvious. Odyssey is dedicated to making the country format a success in New York.''
The new programming, begun in December, ended a 10-month absence of country music in New York radio.
But what made the company think that substantial numbers of the 14 million listeners in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut as well as in southern New Jersey and on Long island's East End wanted to hear country music?
''First of all,'' Mr. Blatter answered in a telephone interview from his office in Hawthorne, ''country music today is not country music of 15 years ago.'' He continued: ''Its greatest appeal is its 'relate-ability.' The majority of the songs have lyrics that relate to adults. They include lost loves but also about going out and having fun on Saturday night.''
But a sample listening recently revealed sounds similar to ones heard from rural jukeboxes decades ago.
Mr. Blatter said the age of the target audience for Y-107 -- they are still working out the call letters -- was 25 to 54, observing that of the more than 50 AM and FM stations in the area, none except for a small station in western Suffolk County, offered country music.
''We conducted two large research studies in the New York market to check the format viability,'' Mr. Blatter said. ''The research made us confident that the format is very viable. It just has been underachieving over the last four or five years.''
His program is relying on the music of Garth Brooks, Clint Black, Shania Twain and Reba McEntire as well as distinctive promotion and presentation to make country music a radio staple.
Odyssey headquarters as well as its Westchester station are in an office park in Hawthorne, its antenna a few miles away in the shadow of the Westchester County Penitentiary, which is also used for the police radio band. Each station is only 3,000 watts, but Odyssey said there is a multiplier effect giving the station a broader range by using the trimulcast.
The company based its optimism for success here in part on a trimulcast in Los Angeles where it envisioned a need for mainstream rock on its KLYY-FM radio station and said it went from 50,000 to 600,000 listeners in six months.
Is the perception of enthusiasm for country music connected to the popularity of country or line dancing in the suburbs? ''Not really,'' said Mr. Blatter, who lives in Manhattan. ''A very small percentage of listeners go out and dance to the stuff. It's nothing I would do on a Saturday night.''
After almost two months of broadcasting, there are no figures on how many people are tuning in to Y-107, and Mr. Blatter was reluctant to make an estimate. ''Before the stations changed format the audiences combined were approximately a quarter of a million,'' he said. ''We expect to do at least that and significantly better than that.''
There is also the issue of how to position advertisers. One recent commercial had a man selling cars for a dealership in Lakeland, N.J., hardly an effective appeal for listeners in East Hampton, Peekskill or Stamford.
Mr. Blatter said there used to be a bias against country music by advertisers, but since the music now reaches a contemporary audience more sophisticated advertisers are using the station. He compared the seemingly uneconomic offering by advertisers of New Jersey cars to drivers on the East End of Long Island to the practice of politicians who spend money reaching listeners who cannot vote for them in order to be able to address a target audience that might be mixed in with the other listeners.
Jason Steinberg, director of marketing and promotions for the station, said, ''Country music fans are the most passionate and loyal audience in radio.'' He said a few people complained during the period when there was a loss of the rock format and when there was television music before the introduction of the new country format, but since then, he added, more than 2,000 people have sent E-mail messages endorsing the change. Not the Burns family of Chappaqua, however, which was happy with the old format. ''I can understand changing a radio format for business purposes,'' Mrs. Burns said. ''But in that vein the heads of 107.1 are just not thinking.''
Then again there is another point of view from one listener, the television show host and comedian David Letterman, who broadcasts his show from the West Side of Manhattan and lives in suburban Connecticut.
Talking on the air with the country singer Dwight Yoakam last month, Mr. Letterman said he was ''too lazy to change his presets'' on his radio and had become ''addicted to that country music'' on Y-107.Continue reading the main story

To answer that we'd need a clear source stating when Manfred was born, or
how old he old at some particular time. Peter stated that Manfred was 12 when
his parents were married. Depending on when the marriage occurred you could
see when he was born and where Fred was married at that time.

This tale, from Val Garon, made me laugh out loud and almost spill my morning Ovaltine:
"Back in the '70s, Bobby Dugas, Henry Landry and I, on a camping trip at Lake Verret, visited a barroom on Belle River.
"One of the patrons, a diminutive Cajun barfly called Lue-lue, was playing air guitar while the real band was playing.
"He was really going at it, matching his strokes to the music and making all the gyrations of a real guitar player.
"He even ended their song with a 'grand stroke.'
"The band leader announced that their next number would be that old Cajun favorite, Jolie Blon.
"Lue-lue asked in a loud voice, 'Mais, in what key?' "
Yat attack
Our "You might be a Yat if …" contest resumes, with some readers questioning the proper pronunciation of that New Orleans favorite, Blue Plate Mayonnaise.
After a reader suggested "my-o-nass," Patsy Borie, among others, told us, "It's 'mynez.' There's even a boutique on Magazine Street that sells T-shirts and jewelry with pictures of jars with 'mynez' on them."
Speaking of food, Linda Germany says, "You might be a Yat if you ever ordered a french fry po-boy at the Steer Inn on Elysian by da Lake."
And Carl Spillman says you might be a Yat if "you married a New Orleans girl, moved away for whatever reason and suddenly realized that you are moving back.
"Ask any New Orleans couple that has tried it if further explanation is needed. …"
Instant replay
Walt Eldredge tells this "fun with words" story:
"This began on a backpacking trip to Costa Rica, while we were boiling leftovers in a pot for dinner. Someone commented he was having 'déjà stew,' defined as 'the feeling that I've eaten this before.'
"This led to déjà pugh, the feeling that I've smelled this before. Or alternatively, déjà pew, the feeling that I've heard this sermon before.
"Déjà roux is the feeling that I've cooked gumbo before; déjà brew is the feeling that I've had this brand of beer before; déjà you is the feeling that I have met you before … but you get the idea. I'll leave it to others to lengthen the list.
"Oh, one contribution from my granddaughter Alexis — déjà new is the feeling that I haven't experienced this before."

Two young ladies going into the corporate office pointed out that her transmission was leaking (the pan had been punctured by a sharp object on the Interstate 12 exit ramp).
She went inside to wait for the tow truck, and the employees gave her cold water during her wait.
When she ordered a wrap for lunch, the counter lady, Ashley, paid for it, saying someone had bought her lunch recently and she was returning the favor.
She says the general manager, Brennan, was gracious despite all the oil she had spilled on the driveway.

Seismic visibility of fractures
Laboratory measurements of seismic travel times of compressional waves, propagated through both intact and naturally fractured specimens of quartz monzonite, were used to determine velocities of propagation. Velocities calculated from a quasi-static model were found to be too low compared to the measured velocities. A theoretical velocity is derived, based on the displacement discontinunity model of wave propagation across a fracture, which depends on the dynamic stiffness of the fracture and on frequency. Comparisons of the measured velocities and those computed from the theory agreed, and confirm the appropriatness of the displacement discontinuity model to simulate wave propagation across the fracture. From this model, changes in group time delay and signal amplitude occur at the fracture and are not distributed throughout the rock. These effects are a function of frequency and the stiffness of the fracture. This suggests that the use of seismic tomographic techniques would yield both the location and mechanical properties of discrete fractures.

I'm 5'7", 172 lbs, current bra is 36D. No where near overweight. I gave birth 2yrs ago and after breastfeeding, I'm not pleaded with my girls. I want to know if I'd NEED a lift and what size to go. I'm not a full D. Prior to birth I was a 38 DD. I wouldn't mind a small DD though. Also, I'd like the implant to be placed behind the muscle.
What Size and Would I Need a Lift?
Doctor Answers 16
Implant for One Cup Size Change
For an increase for the breasts by one cup size, 200 cc to 250 cc is usually the amount. Breast lift advice can only be given if examined or if providing proper photos. Kenneth Hughes, MD Hughesplasticsurgery Los Angeles, CA
Without seeing a picture or an exam we cannot say whether you would need a lift. If you would need a lift a modest implant will give you superior fullness and most of the time it's done with a lift.
Lift versus implant
It's really difficult to recommend the best course of action for you based on the cup size information that you have provided. A photo might help. To be sure though, you will need an in-personal evaluation by a plastic surgeon. It really depends on how much breast droop you have (ptosis) - and this is hard to answer in this forum.

Breast Lift and Sizing #breastimplants
You will need an in person physical exam with a board certified Plastic Surgeon. They will be able to guide you along the correct path. Deciding on a lift or not depends on many different variables. but the most common guide we have is looking at where your nipple sits relative to your lower breast crease. If it sits well below the crease usually an implant alone is not enough, although in some patients it will be ok with a larger more projecting implant. I will break down breast sizing for you because it is very straight forward.
In my opinion these situations that we find ourselves in with patients can be simplified. Sizing is not about a number. In fact, I do not even discuss numbers with my patients. If a patient walks through the door and says they want x-cc implants I have to educate them about how sizing works. The best analogy I can relate this to is buying shoes. When you go to buy shoes how do you do that? First you start with the size your foot is right? So if your foot is a 6.5 you try on all kinds of 6.5 size shoes. Some may be tall, some might be flat, and some might be somewhere in between. You would never try to buy a size 8 shoe because it would be too big for your foot right? Breast sizing is the exact same way. Implants come in several different profiles that are like different heights of shoes. Implants can be low profile, moderate profile, or high profile. There are even implants that are higher than high. That would be your high platform shoe. Each implant style give you a different look. Now, your breast has a defined width that we call the base diameter of the breast. This would be analogous to the show size. Your breast base diameter never changes. It is what it is. So now, you can choose several different style of implants that fit the number of your breast base diameter. That really narrows down what implant is best for you. So once you know your breast base diameter you can try the low, moderate, high or really high implants on. The only think you have to decide is which look you are going for. You would never put an implant that is 13 centimeters wide in a patient whose base diameter is 10 centimeters. Half the implant would be in the armpit. So, this is very simple to me. My patients get a few choices that fit their breast and that is it. I will not put an implant in a patient that is too wide for their body because it will harm them over time. Hope this helps.
Breast lifts.
There are a few clues that make a mastopexy or breast lift a good possibility. The obvious one is that you were a DD cup brfore and now a D cup. While it is best not to use cup size a way to determine size and proportion, it is a clue here. Another good clue would be the amount of weight you gained in pregnancy. Pictures are a good starting point but you are best to get several consultations, not more that 3 or 4 though to determine what is best. I do not think that using larger than desirable implants are a way to do a lift. Examining the firmness of your skin and glandular envelope is a way to determine a good treatment for you. There are also newer ways to do breast lifts without larger external scars. Be sure that you speak with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon with demonstrated experience and skill in these procedures.
Breast Lift and Breast Augmentation after pregnancy
It is very common for women's breast to sag and loose volume after several pregnancies. Therefore, most women would most probably need some type of breast lift after pregnancy. A board certified plastic surgeon needs to first evaluate you, at least by pictures, in order to give you recommendations in terms of the type of breast lift.
Learn more: http://www.beautifulself.com
Mastopexy With Implants?
Thank you for the question. However without at least some pictures to evaluate your breasts, it is impossible to give an opinion. I would recommend to consider posting pictures to aid in the evaluation of your complaint. Whether or not a lift is needed is based on the severity of the pre-existenting ptosis (drooping). Minimal ptosis can most often be corrected with augmentation alone, anything more significant will require a mastopexy (breast lift) if the patient does not want to increase her breast volume, and with an implant if additional volume is desired.
I hope this helps. Good luck.
Determining the need for a breast lift
It is really not possible to give you an answer without a photograph or your specific breast dimensions and measurements. In general, if your nipples are greater than 2 -3 cm below the crease behind your breast (Inframammary fold) then you would most likely need a lift with a breast augmentation. If you have minimal sagging then an augmentation will be fine.
Lift and or implants?
Without an exam it is impossible to properly evaluate you. Certainly an implant can be palced if you wnat more volume, but if you need a lift then an implant will not eliminate the need.
Do you need a lift?
We really need to see photos to determine whether you need a lift and implant. the determining factor regarding the lift is the location of your nipples. When I evaluate a patient for a lift, I take specific measurements of the location of the nipples to determine of they are too low down. I can give you much better advice if you submit photos. Thank you!

Lake Country Wool-Ball 5 Inch Polishing Ball
> Lake Country Wool-Ball 3 inch & 5 inch Polishing Balls Combo
Lake Country Wool-Ball 3 inch & 5 inch Polishing Balls Combo
Cuts like a wool pad!
The Lake Country Wool-Ball goes where wool pads can't! The round wool polishing ball polishes between spokes and in concave spaces where flat wool pads just can't reach. Cut through oxidation and discoloration on metals, painted surfaces, fiberglass, gel coats, and composites with the Lake Country Wool-Ball!
The patent pending Lake Country Wool-Ball is an ideal shape for polishing aluminum spoke wheels. The wool ball is 360° of polishing power that erases oxidation and brake dust pitting on wheels. Use a metal polish like
Wolfgang MetallWerk Fine Aluminum Polish
on moderately to lightly oxidized wheels made of aluminum, chrome, or stainless steel.
On boats, use the Lake Country Wool-Ball to clean and polish metal railings and latches, as well as gel coat fiberglass. Use
Flitz Metal Polish, Fiberglass & Paint Restorer
on all these surfaces.
Available in two sizes, the Wool-Ball really can go anywhere! the Wool-Ball Combo includes both the 3 inch and 5 inch Wool-Balls.
The Lake Country Wool-Ball boasts industrial grade construction!
The polishing ball is made of 100% twisted wool for cutting action, a durable rubber core and a carbon steel hex shaft that prevents slippage. The wool ball is compatible with standard quick connect systems.
The Lake Country Wool-Ball is easy to use, even if you've never used wool pads.
Attach the ball to your variable speed drill. Apply the desired polish to the surface using a foam applicator. Operate the ball up to 3000 RPM until the surface appears clean and smooth. Buff off remaining residue with a soft microfiber towel.
Use the
Duo Spur
pad cleaning tool as needed to remove excess polish and restore the wool's texture. After you've used the ball, wash the Wool-Ball in a mixture of
Wolfgang Polishing Pad Rejuvenator
and water. Spin the Wool-Ball dry on the drill and then store it in a dry, protected place. We recommend storing the Wool-Ball in a sealable plastic bag to keep it clean between uses.
The Lake Country Wool-Ball works just like a wool pad but with a convenient go-anywhere design.

I think I pretty much nail Meadh on this reply to her lame reply to my original slam on Interop, which I post here because it won't fit on her blog without repeat posts:
Oh dear God, Meadhbh Hamrick you're simply disgraceful. People who play psychiatrist on the Internet and tell others to "get help" or "get anger management lessons" or tell them to "take their meds" are guilty of malpractice, as real physicians never diagnose or prescribe in this fashion online. Shame on you. And "vitriol" is what you technocommunists describe *anything* that challenges your worldview and attacks your sand castle of invalid arguments for how virtual worlds should be organized. "Vitriol" becomes *any criticism whatsoever* even if no obscenities are used; even if no incitement of hate is unleashed; even if no names are called. Just to call you what you are: the communists, really, of our time, makes you foam and froth and sling accusations of "vitriol"; except you are completely laughable, because you go to the lengths of telling me you're "socialist, not communist" yourself. Now seriously, Meadhbh Hamrick; do you REALLY expect me to believe that?
Your twin admissions in your astounding reply: 1) that you *are* socialists and 2) that we *did* have to expect more theft from VWRAP are the most astounding admissions of this entire bad-faith exercise!
Migraine Dinova's refusal to take accountability for her ferocious online sectarianism has gone well past the sell-by date. I don't care if people are online anonymously doing their thing; I sure as hell do care if they undermine my property and privacy in a mammoth assault project like this.
Which brings me to your silly screams of "libel" and "looniness" and all the rest.
You are so very dense, Meadhbh Hamrick. So very, very obtuse and literalist, you tekkie "geniuses". You "brilliant coders".
When you set about *making copyright an add-on" or "making it a regime or a plan secondary to inherency" YOU ARE INDEED UNDERMINING IF NOT DESTROYING COPYRIGHT. DUH! DUH MUCH! That's *exactly* what you are doing, and you know it, I know it, and loons like Migraine know it (and here I *will* start calling names to burn in the point: you opensource freaks undermine copyright deliberately and consciously at every turn; you browbeat and incite force-sharing and conceive of copyright merely as a lawyer's exercise; you deprive software and communities of users of software of embedded copyright as inherency -- and then you whine and cry when you are accused of being copyleftists.
One has only to read the JIRA for which I was expelled, with the "kind ministrations" of Soft Linden, to realize how diabolical you Lindens and post-Lindens are; how sinister and cunning you are about trying to remove inherency of copyright. An Electric Frontier Foundation operative slams *having any copyright inherent in the tools at all*; a user comes along with the obvious copyleftist OS agenda and calls for a new sort of default that the user can invoke forever and always as non-inherency; and you can't see this as undermining, and you blush and stammer and say this is a builder's boon. Shame on all of you. And then you ban me for pointing out that this is an obvious stealth copyleftism; that even if the default rez from the server is still permissions as an inherency, that an ideological sandbox collectivist who demands that he can flip a switch and make a new kind of *server side* (*server side dammit!*) inherency is in fact up to no good! He is gaslighting. He is moving the goalposts. He is encroaching on inherency.
Why do I mention inherency? Because the Berne Convention validated copyright as an inherency. You don't need a license for it; it is a not a status to be granted by a state authority. It is inherent in the work. It is also inherently coupled with commerce without extra powers or licenses.
*Second Life delivered the Berne inherency metaphor*. That's all. And it did it despite you hippie slackers. The prim rezzes with all the perms on, and you have to undo them if you want to go commie and liberate your prims. Good! Because in life, perms rez that way too. It's a trivial matter to undo them; if you need a bulk permissions, you can do that in inventory. The JIRA jihadists who insisted on ramming copyright inherency with a cunning trick requiring *server-side code changes* would have had it go further than that, making one flip by the author of the switch to ever more inworld change to a Lessig is Moore.
Sorry, but I saw what you did there.
Your clamour that I can't call what you're doing "communist" because "we included in the designs protections for IPR and a security model that would allow service deployers to choose whom they interoperate with" -- all BOGUS. Add-ons, not inherency. A TOS or a treaty betwee grids but *not inherency in the prim*. Not a status conferred by the servers, kept on the prim.
You wouldn't do this, because you said "it's technically impossible". You always do. That it persists inworld despite copybotting as a social injunction taking a perfectly viable and useable technological exigency form appears to be beyond your ken.
Your fluffery and distractions about I'm supposedly "going against my own values" by calling you communist "because you give choices" with whom one hooks up can't disguise the fact that giving choices AFTER you have withdrawn inherency; giving choices AFTER the horse has bolted, is not choice. Choice is undoing an inherency that remains as a default, not making inherent choicelessness and then trying to tack it back on with a sticky.
Open source goons are always telling us that they're really for capitalism. They're just going to strip it out now, but they promise it will go back in later as a "choice". ROFL.
You commies get *so caught up in your lies* and so contorted in your duplicitious postures that you really have lost touch with the reality of virtuality. We saw what you did there. You took out perms. You (Andrew Linden, others) were perpared to knock out inherency and change the server side authentic metaphor of inherency with a new regime enabling it to be casually, ideologically undone by sandboxers -- and thereby undermining it for us all.
Everybody knows what happens when everybody makes freebies; it undermines the economy for us all.
Ever notice that there's no Creative Commons in Second Life? Nobody wants or needs it. Share Licenses are not that, no way. In SL, again, it's inherent. It's built into the product. Nobody has to view a license or check a license. The product has checkboxes the creator sets, and that remains inherent permanently. There isn't anything else like that on the Internet, Meadhbh Hamrick, and you know full well that's the case. It's the magic of Second Life that makes Mitch Kapor and you other technocommunists burn with rage because it undoes your beliefs about paid content. It undoes your beliefs about DRM. It makes you lose your religion.
To which I can only say, good! Better you lose your religion, than we lose our IP! And yes, it's DRM. Your sophistry and tekkie distractions are ridiculous here. DRM is a system of rights management that is on the product, like a CD you can't copy unless, of course, you "crack" it. That's all. It's not about "a regime outside the manufacturing environment" like "out in the wild" with a CD. Remember, in games and worlds, "the client is in the hands of the enemy". So the DRM is in the wild anyway, even if on the grid rezzed from the company's asset server. Thank God for that asset server! It knows what to do with collectivized deeded prims not on transfer when returned to its loving embrace: it kills them. It deletes them permanently. The asset server is the best communist of them all.
But for the non-copybotter, that is, MOST PEOPLE, in SL, the DRM holds. Amazingly it holds. I buy a creation and the creator doesn't put it on copy or mod, and guess what, I can't mod or copy it and I live with that. And so do hundreds of thousands of other people. And that's great, that's grand, *and you can't stand it, as it goes against your religion about the Internet*. To which I can only say: take your religion to your own cathedral, leave other people's sacred places alone.
As for Linden's business interest in interop -- maybe they are now roadkill on the Metaversal highway as Web GL and Silverlight and Unity 3D come in. But maybe not. Because none of those things have solved what *we* need: IP, DRM, commingling of creativity, content and commerce (cube 3'd three Cs!) all consciously wedded together in tech to make tech serve people and their livlihoods, and not your damn stupid religion that destroys value.
As for "we weren't trying to force anyway" -- baloney. You tried to internationalize the problem of being unable to get the mass population of SL to give up its rights to you in some orgy of CC sharing by taking it to the IETF. There it would be a fait accompli. Don't think I haven't seen how hypergrid works, dear. You don't fly around from grid to grid with an object you got in the first sim and get a question when you rez: "Rez with initial grid permissions?" You don't get a notice, "Now entering perm-free copying zone". You don't get a notice, "Your price-setting DRM perms on your prims set back at your home grid no longer hold". You get nothing. And when you rez the object, anyone can copy it. And that's deliberate, that's ideological and that's why no one is interested in it, truly, and why the competitors to SL springing up outside the Leninist Open Sim regime like Inworldz are putting a tremendous premium on copyright, DRM and paid content as a technological bundle.
A bundle you and Zha and the others are always decoupling and always patting us on the head about and saying you will put it back in...later...as a license...as a scheme...as a regime. Anything but a technological injunction in the code, eh? Commerce is something you fear *that badly*. You and Tim Berners Lee. As I tweeted the old geezer, time for us to declare independence from these original founders of our Internet.
No choice on those Leninist hypergrids stripping value as you fly along -- and P.S. no privacy either. Private property and copyright inherency are part and parcel of personal privacy -- that's something you commies simply don't get.
And really, it's almost a waste of time to try to persuade you about these obvious values and inherent qualities because most people get it. Most ordinary people, and even most geeks get it. It's really a relatively small sect that has so screwed around with these notions that you cannot sense and feel them anymore.
So yes, *criminality*. Criminal in undermining copyright by yanking it from its DRM and inherency context and flushing it to other worlds that have no DRM or pricing or economy or anything. Putting it off to grid managers to make a contract, rather than leaving it inside the prims and the software. Nothing stopped you from making the same set of technological injunctions or levers or hammers that obtain in the simple Second Life prim from being portable, and being portable only to worlds that inherently, as technology, as a feature of their inherent "physicality" had DRM, permissions, and linkage of content, creator name and commerce. Nothing at all. But you couldn't accept this, grasp this, or simply *do* this. You had to invoke fake "choice" -- choice that isn't choice in a stark landscape where the choices are all taken out and only put back in as an afterthought.
Yes, IP theft; yes gouging of privacy, yes criminality. Just like the rest of your pack who first destroyed the music business; then the newspaper and book business; then finally government itself with WikiLeaks, all through the raging fire open source software's technocommunist rapaciousness. Everybody gets it. A writer on humanitarian affairs in the New Republic named David Rieff writing about these issues gets it in a heart beat. He won't use the words I use of "technocommunism" or "rapaciousness" but he explains the process: out of your California business model of copying and undermining copyright came ultimlately destruction even of the secret cables of diplomacy -- and of course, a ruination of the music, book and news business before that with the same unwillingness to put in the technological regime required *even if not 100 percent effective and even if not foolproof against hacking and copying* *as a signal of inherency* the breach of which creates an electronic trail for prosecution. That's all. Like Second Life? Like Second Life!
Second Life which so threatens you!
Sorry, but I won't be labelling my accusations of your undermining of the inherency of people's intellectual property in a virtual world, through your wilful destruction of that inherency and those technological levers to enforce it in DRM as *anything* but a crime. Not as ANYTHING but a CRIME Meadhbh Hamrick!
As for your claim that CC licenses "provide for commercial activity" you couldn't be more obtuse. The ability to use commercially *what somebody else has to yield up for free and cede all their rights to for commercial gain* isn't what we mean by keeping the link between commerce and comment, Meadh. Honestly, it's simply APPALLING what contortions you people go to with your communist lies (and I can't call them anything but "communist lies: when they get this bad).
Go read the CC licenses as I have read them many times. Any commercial use is for the person who copied. It's NOT for the person licensing. NOT NOT NOT. There is no license that says "take a copy, but pay me money automatically through an interface" LIKE SECOND LIFE. LIKE SECOND LIFE!!!!
That's why all of you hate it so much; Second Life stands as a profound indictment of all your religious doctrines; profound. Lessig refused to put in a license that linked content and copyright inherently in an item because CC was never *about* copyright, but about *undermining* copyright.
Most people who want to sell things online ignore CC. CC is useless for them. Most people aren't those few cases cited by the gurus like Doctorow who imagine that everybody is going to give away thousands of CDS, and everybody is going to get that one rich movie production company to buy a jingle. It's disgusting, how all of you rely on the persistence of companies still willing to couple commerce and content in licenses as a means of subsidizing your collective farm. Truly disgusting.
And no good saying "well, if that's what you want, write your own, or go somewhere else". People do. That's not the point. The point is that Lessig's content liberation conspiracy was designed to liberate people from wishing to possess their copies and only release them for money. It was *meant* to hammer a wedge between content and commerce and it indeed succeeded.
And that's why we have no music, newspaper, book, movie etc. business, and why we have a shaken government. Let's hope it doesn't spread further. Likely it will before we are through. There is an antidote. It is the walled garden. It is the defeating of the interops plot and a construction of system of bridged walled gardens respecting inherency of copyright.
A loon to judge CC because they DELIBERATELY left out and "forgot" a license that says "pay me money then take a copy?" Not on your life. This was deliberate; the cunning little nerd Cory Doctorow and Comrade Lessig know this better than you. Ask them. Ask Mitch. Mitch's writings in 2005 confirmed his beliefs. Hell, ask Gramps, your old aging hippie John Perry Barlow. At least he's honest. At least he doesn't lie. At least he doesn't hide behind "socialist" or "licenses". He says we don't need intellectual property at all. There, your cat's out of the bag. Watch his youtube. He says that content is like a doctor's prescription. Doctor's don't copyright prescriptions. They get paid for services. So they should just give the paper up.
What a schmuck. Coders get paid for services and he thinks we can all live in the world like coders and doctors with scripts and scrip. Wrong. We need a livlihood too. That means DRM and it means copyright inherency and it means a resounding NO to collectivism.
Your fake aquiesence to my point about walled gardens is hardly convincing. You don't believe in them. You think they're pretty and then knock out their walls. And here comes the showstopper! Call the JIRA! You admit that I could have sustained dmage from theft enabled by VWRAP. Extraordinary. Just....extraordinary.
You didn't maintain any protections because you wouldn't leave c/m/t and demand that only other countries/grids with c/m/t got to interop. It was so simple; yet you couldn't do it for ideological, not technological reasons.
Your fake invocation of those "Facebook people" that were going to come flocking into SL due to your VWRAP -- how many times will my eyes roll in their sockets! The FB group has 100,000 people. The same people in SL. Not new ones. Case closed.
I can't dignify your lame answer on IBM with a reply.
I'll repeat what I said before about all of you: you hate each other even more than you hate us, and that's why you're not to be trusted.
I don't care if you go on falsely misrepresenting my penetrating and apt critique of your collectivism as "vitriol" or "looniness" or try to groom me online by trying to flatter me about when you think I ask "helpful" questions like at SLCC and when I "surround my writings with crap".
History has left you behind on the dust heap on interoperability -- for now. Good!


text: Every market commentator seemed focused Friday on the sharp rise in oil, and in turn seemed to ask every on-air interviewee for an opinion on the rally. This is the type of distraction I continue to warn readers about. Yes, it is important news that oil has moved up sharply today, but investors need to understand the rippling effect these types of situations produce in the market.Paying attention to how high oil and gas prices climb is not going to help you add profits to your portfolio. Deciphering the steps you need to take to protect your portfolio and profit against continuing signs of higher inflation and a poor fiscal policy are what investors need to focus on. The Federal Reserve has been barking lately that it's beginning to worry about inflation and the dollar's going to rise and gold is going to fall. That may happen in the short term, but the long-term dynamics will not be affected. My question is if the Fed were seriously worried about inflation then it would be taking immediate steps to raise interest rates, not lower them and let the central bank flood the market with loose money. Of course, we all know that the Fed's not going to start raising interest rates because it knows the housing market cannot handle it, and the Fed certainly does not want to add to the current banking crisis. Worldwide inflation is close to 10%, and many leading minds believe that U.S. inflation is close to 8%, not the manipulated numbers with which the government tries to fool the public. One of the ways to profit from higher inflation is to invest in gold or gold companies because that area of the market becomes a safe haven for investors as inflation heats up or financial fears in the market increase.

I found it refreshing to hear some of Ken's story: his past as a rock musician — he's written dozens of original songs — and high school football coach. We also shared some fondness for the Upper Valley of New Hampshire and Vermont, where he lives and where I went to college.

On Tuesday, stocks fell for the fifth straight day as European sovereign debt problems and fear of lower earnings for U.S. companies dominated trading. Industrials, materials and energy stocks were down the most. But banks were not far behind.
However, after the close Alcoa (NYSE:AA), the first of the Dow 30 stocks to report earnings, beat analysts' estimates by reporting a 10-cent-per-share profit versus an estimated loss of 4 cents. This should relieve some of the downside pressure today.
At the close, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 214 points to 12,714, the S&P 500 fell 24 points to 1,359, and the Nasdaq lost 56 points to 2,991. Volume increased slightly to 970 million shares on the NYSE and 532 on the Nasdaq. Decliners outnumbered advancers on the NYSE by over 6-to-1 and by 4.6-to-1 on the Nasdaq.
When, on Monday, the S&P 500 broke 1,371, as well as its 50-day moving average (blue line), selling accelerated to the next major level of support at 1,347 to 1,357. These numbers represent the tops of July. This line has great technical significance and probably will hold since it represents those two major tops and intersects with the intermediate trendline. Thus, the probability is high that after five straight days down, coupled with an earnings surprise from Alcoa, we will rally today.
It is fair, however, to warn our readers that some technicians disagree and place far more emphasis on the break at 1,371. Their reasoning is based on a peak that occurred over a decade ago, and my experience leads me to discount data over five years old despite my respect for their opinion.
As a technician and money manager for 45 years, I remember that data very well, but also believe that stockholders of that era have long ago disposed of their holdings, negating the significance of that level.
Conclusion: The stock market reversed in October and ran for more than a 30% gain from its low. And in January, the S&P 500 ran in a straight line with hardly a hesitation to new highs.
A five-day consolidation should not shake our view that the bull market is just hesitating. Traders should immediately cut loose their shorts. A 40-point bounce back to 1,400 is likely.

Abraham Africanus I : his secret life, revealed under the mesmeric influence ; mysteries of the White House. New York : J.F. Feeks [1864]
View the PDF. View the Flip Book.
While the majority of Illinoisans supported the war against the secession of the southern states and opposed the enslavement of African-Americans, those sentiments were far from universal in the state, particularly in south central and southern Illinois whose residents were more likely to have migrated from the south. The Copperheads were a loosely organized group of Midwestern Democrats who vehemently opposed the war and the administration of President Abraham Lincoln. The reasons for Copperhead opposition were numerous but focused primarily on the negative economic impact of the Civil War particularly in agriculture and banking; Lincoln's declaration of martial law and suspension of habeas corpus in 1863; and, for some, the Emancipation Proclamation. Abraham Africanus I is a rare Copperhead political pamphlet from 1864 that satirically depicts Abraham Lincoln making a pact with the Devil to become the monarchical ruler of the United States.

Moving swiftly to defend his name as ghosts of sexual harassment claims past revisited him, GOP presidential hopeful Herman Cain made the bold move Monday to go on Fox News for a little PR exorcism aided by the Murdochian news network.
Cain was unequivocal in denying that he engaged in "sexually suggestive behavior" during his time as head of the National Restaurant Association in the mid-'90s, despite the accusations of two unnamed women that reportedly led to settlements, of which Cain claimed he was unaware until the story surfaced on Politico on Sunday night. Now that the Cain Train is picking up speed, the former Godfather's Pizza CEO attempted to deflect future attempts to slow his roll by declaring that there won't be any other similar surprises down the line, since any other allegations "will be trumped-up allegations." —KA
"Political Hotsheet" on CBS News:
"I've never sexually harassed anyone, and yes, I was falsely accused while I was at the National Restaurant Association, and I say falsely, because it turned out, after the investigation, to be baseless," he said on Fox News.
"It is totally baseless, and totally false, never have I committed any sort of sexual harassment," he added.
