'Real Housewives of New Jersey' Star Melissa Gorga Selling Summer Home for $520k — Take a Peek Inside (PHOTOS)
Aside from putting their $3.8 million mansion on the market in May, Real Housewives of New Jersey stars Melissa and Joe Gorga have recently listed their summer home in Toms River, N.J., for a cool $520,000. The price has dropped from its original listing of $535,000.
The estate, which sits on a cozy 5,000 square feet waterfront lot, boasts three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and an in-ground pool in the backyard. Check out the interior in the gallery above.
Despite having multiple houses on the market, Melissa, 34, insists that her family is not broke.
"This is what we do, we flip houses," Melissa told Celebuzz in a recent interview.
"I know people are saying, 'Are they broke?' No. I'd be the first one to say this is a monster house, it's too big and we can't afford it," she said of her Montville Township mansion, which is also currently for sale. "Fortunately, that is not the situation."
"We can afford it. We can stay there. We are just choosing to switch towns."
"It's definitely not a no," Melissa said.

I have had a 3rd rhinoplasty, requiring a rib graft, 5 weeks ago. The surgery was supposed to correct, among other things, areas of collapse however I now notice that this was not fully achieved. I believe I have external valve collapse on both sides and internal valve collapse on one side. This is impeding my breathing since when I pull my cheeks away from my nose, air flows much better. Should I notify my doctor immediately? Also, how difficult is it to correct these issues in general?
Collapse After Revision Rhinoplasty?
Doctor Answers 6
What to expect after revision rhinoplasty
Swelling after revision rhinoplasty can take twice as long to resolve vs. primary rhinoplasty. I would do the following.
- This maybe normal swelling: follow up, non urgently with your surgeon for re evaluation.
- There maybe internal valve collapse. Without photos, examination, and further healing it is too soon to tell.
- There maybe external valve collapse: Same. Have to wait and see. Going in too soon can only cause harm and reverse a potentially normal result.

Give Your Nose Time to Heal
5 weeks is still very soon after your surgery, and the majority of your swelling is still present. It can take up to a year before you see the final result of your surgery, but the amount of time the swelling lingers may be influenced by the following things:
1) Whether or not tip work was performed
2) The thickness of the patient's skin
3) If the procedure was open or closed
I would give it some time, as you are still early in the healing process. I would recommend speaking with your surgeon regarding any concerns you have at this time.
Fixing external and internal nasal valve collapse can be challenging during a revision rhinoplasty. For that reason, it is important to see a surgeon who specializes in these procedures.
Thanks and I hope this helps!

Breathing issues and rhinoplasty
Dear Lycee123,
- You should contact your surgeon with any questions or concerns after surgery
- He/she is best equipped to handle those answers
- I think it is still very early to get worried, and let him know so you can be examined
Best regards,

Revision Rhinoplasty Collapse
In instances such as this, it's very important to notify your doctor because your breathing is in jeopardy. This is a difficult thing to correct, but it can be done. You may want to consider waiting a bit before undergoing corrective surgery again. Waiting up to two years may be the most beneficial.
Fixing a collapsed nose with revision rhinoplasty
Hello, and sorry to hear about your breathing issues following surgery. Five weeks is still very soon after your procedure, and I would give it some time before you jump to any conclusions. You are still quite swollen at the 5 week mark, and swelling may interfere with your breathing being perfect. In general, if those issues were present, surgery would be necessary. To correct a valve collapse, cartilage grafts would be used during an open procedure. It is best if this type of surgery is performed by a specialist. For the grafts, I wold use septal cartilage as a first choice. If there is not enough septal cartilage available, or if the cartilage from the septum is compromised, using a PDS plate with ear cartilage is now a good choice. It can be a second option after septal cartilage. Rib cartilage is also a great choice. It is very strong, and much more rigid than ear cartilage. At this point, I would recommend speaking with your surgeon regarding any concerns. He/she knows the extent of your surgery and exactly what was performed. Thank you and I hope this helps!

Revision rhinoplasty and breathing issues
At five weeks post revision rhinoplasty, you may still be swollen. You have to give it several months for things to settle down before considering further surgery.

- 1/4 cup canola oil
- 8 lamb shanks (about 8 pounds)
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground pepper
- 1 head of garlic, halved crosswise
- 1 large red onion, diced
- 3 celery ribs, diced
- 2 medium carrots, diced
- One 2-inch cinnamon stick
- 2 tablespoons chopped oregano
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 8 dried guajillo chiles, stemmed, 4 chopped
- 3 quarts chicken stock or low-sodium broth
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- Two 15-ounce cans hominy, rinsed and drained
- One 15-ounce can pinto beans, rinsed and drained
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- Cilantro, diced avocado and lime wedges, for serving
Preheat the oven to 375°. In a large enameled cast-iron casserole, heat 2 tablespoons of the canola oil. Season the lamb with salt and pepper. Add 4 shanks to the casserole and cook over moderately high heat, turning, until browned all over, 7 to 8 minutes; transfer to a baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining canola oil and lamb shanks.
Add the garlic and half each of the onion, celery and carrots to the casserole; cook, stirring occasionally, until golden, 5 minutes. Stir in the cinnamon, oregano, 1 teaspoon of the cumin and the chopped chiles. Add the shanks and any juices. Add the stock and bring to a boil. Cover and braise in the oven for 2 hours, until the lamb is very tender.
In a heatproof bowl, cover the remaining chiles with 2 cups of boiling water; soak for 30 minutes. Transfer the chiles and 1 cup of the liquid to a blender; puree until smooth.
Transfer the lamb to a baking sheet and loosely tent with foil. Strain the broth, discarding the solids. Skim off the fat. Wipe out the casserole.
Heat the olive oil in the casserole. Add the remaining onion, celery and carrots and cook over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 5 minutes. Stir in the chile puree, coriander, hominy, pinto beans and the remaining 1 teaspoon of cumin and cook for 2 minutes. Add the broth and simmer for 10 minutes. Stir in the lime juice and season with salt and pepper. Add the shanks to the pot and cook just until heated through. Serve the posole in bowls, passing cilantro, avocado and lime wedges at the table.

The match to find the living donor took quite some time. This was certainly the most frustrating part for us. Due to privacy issues for the potential donors, we were left in the dark about the process. And yet the potential donors looked to me to explain the process to them. All potential donors must be relatives or close friends. The clinic denied some keen donors for reasons we never understood, but perhaps they wanted to make sure the individuals really cared about my husband and wouldn't back out at the last minute. At times it felt cryptic and glacially slow. The clinic would only test one potential donor at a time. Then we would find out that the donor was not a match and weeks would go by until we heard another one was being considered. It was torturous to think that the cancer could be regrowing. I was not considered as a match, and I felt helpless to watch it all unfold while my husband went through 14 ERCPs and numerous stent changes. He grew weaker and weaker every day.
When John received the right lobe of the donor's liver, it grew to normal size in 3-4 weeks. For the donor, his remaining lobe regrew to the full size of his former organ in the same amount of time. For several months, however, the donor suffered from some digestion issues, and had to take several different medications to sort it out. Now, he is back to his pre-surgery health, but it took a toll on him--both physically and mentally. It is difficult to fully express our gratitude to the donor, when he so selflessly sacrificed himself for my husband. He is truly our hero.
I have spoken to other donors during our visits to the clinic. Others seem to have tolerated the surgery better. Certainly a deceased donor provides fewer complications, but for cc patients the meld score rarely matches the true need to get those cancerous ducts out of there.
The biggest concern for my husband was post-surgery complications. He did get an infection in the fourth week that needed high doses of antibiotics. That set back his recovery a few weeks. But when that cleared, he felt terrific. After a year of being sick, he felt healthy for the first time. The pain from the surgery was nothing compared to the pain caused by the radiation and the earlier pancreatitis that occurred during his first ERCP.
I hope that answers your questions.

Personality: Self concept · Personality testing · Theories · Mind-body problem
Neophile is a term used by counterculture cult writer Robert Anton Wilson to describe a particular type of personality. A neophile can be defined as a personality type characterized by a strong affinity for novelty. Neophiles have the following basic characteristics:
- The ability to adapt extremely rapidly to change
- A distaste or downright loathing of tradition, repetition, and routine
- A tendency to become bored quickly with old things
- A desire, bordering on obsession in some cases, to experience novelty
- A corresponding and related desire to create novelty by creating or achieving something and/or by stirring social or other forms of unrest.
A neophile is distinct from a revolutionary in that anyone might become a revolutionary if pushed far enough by the reigning authorities or social norms, whereas neophiles are revolutionaries by nature. Their intellectual abhorrence of tradition and repetition usually bemoans a deeper emotional need for constant novelty and change. The meaning of neophile approaches and is not mutually exclusive to the term visionary, but differs in that a neophile actively seeks first-hand experience of novelty rather than merely pontificating about it.
The opposite of a neophile is a neophobe; a person with an aversion to novelty and change. Wilson observes that neophobes tend to regard neophiles, especially extreme ones, with fear and contempt, and to brand them with titles such as "witch," "satanist," "heretic," etc. He also speculates in his Prometheus Rising series of books that the industrial revolution and related enlightenment represents one of the first periods of history in which neophiles were a dominant force in society. Neophiles accelerate change because they like it that way.
Open-source advocate and programmer Eric S. Raymond observes that this personality is especially prevalent in certain fields of expertise; in business, these are primarily computer science and other areas of high technology. Raymond speculates that the rapid progress of these fields (especially computers) is a result of this. A neophile's love of novelty is likely to lead him or her into subjects outside of the normal areas of human interest. Raymond observes a high concentration of neophiles in or around what he calls "leading edge subcultures" such as science fiction fandom, neo-paganism, transhumanism, etc. as well as in or around nontraditional areas of thought such as fringe philosophy or the occult. Raymond observes that most neophiles have roving interests and will tend to have read or at least heard of nearly every idea ever pondered by the mind of man.
There is more than one type of neophile. There are social neophiles (the extreme social butterfly), intellectual neophiles (the revolutionary philosopher and the technophile), and physical/kinetic neophiles (the extreme sports enthusiast.) These tendencies are not mutually exclusive, and might exist simultaneously in the same individual.

For many people, the term "robot" conjures up images of clunky, metal approximations of human-like forms - C-3PO from Star Wars or Rosie from The Jetsons might come to mind. But for today's healthcare clinicians, the term "robot" has a much different meaning. Sophisticated, precise robotic technology is being incorporated into medicine in amazing ways. Although a far cry from the beeping, talking, house-cleaning versions movies and cartoons instilled in our collective memory, medical robots, too, have the capacity to stroke the imagination and portend future advancements.
Rise of Robotic Surgery
As more healthcare facilities - from large university medical systems to small community hospitals - create robotic surgery (also called robotic-assisted surgery) programs, it is clear there are both major benefits and major challenges to undertaking such an endeavor. The benefits are easily delineable by nurses involved in robotics programs: less-invasive surgery, shorter hospital stays, less need for pain medication, faster healing and decreased risk of postoperative complications.
These benefits are made possible by toothpick-thin instruments that operate through multiple 3 mm to 5 mm incisions (smaller than those required for laparoscopic procedures). Surgeons control robotic tools from a console, which provides 3-D imaging of internal structures - better visualization than surgeons are able to get with open procedures. Blood loss is about one-tenth of that in traditional procedures due to significantly less internal trauma.
The impetus to provide robotic surgery combines all of these benefits into a simple mantra: providing the best care for patients, said Pearl Cunningham, MBA, BSN, RN, CNOR, nursing director of the operating room at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston. "We look for the best way to provide the best care for our patients," she said. "[That includes] being on the leading edge of integrating medicine and technology."
At CentraState Medical Center in Freehold Township, NJ, which performed its first robotic surgery procedure in April 2010, staff saw the writing on the wall. "We realized robotic surgery is becoming the new standard of care," said Deanna Sitren, BSN, RN, CCRN, OR nurse manager.
Challenges Loom Large
While the driving force behind implementing a surgical robot is usually good, not all facilities are adequately prepared to take this step. "The worst thing a facility can do is say, 'Let's get a robot,' but have no idea what is required. The program will suffer or the robot will simply be underused," said Lynda Jayjohn, BSN, RN, CNOR, nurse manager of perioperative services and nurse manager of robotics at Ohio State University Medical Center (OSUMC) in Columbus, the first facility in North America to perform robotic surgery. Instead, a clear picture of what is involved in a robotic surgery program is needed - and nurses are at the forefront of this effort in hospitals around the country.
OSUMC, which will perform approximately 1,300 cases in fiscal year 2009-10, was a global leader in robotic surgery. "When we started to ramp up our program in 2005, from about 20 cases a year to 500 cases a year, there were not a lot of people for me to talk to," said Jayjohn.
Facilities just starting out now, however, can benefit from the experience of others. "Visit a facility like mine and get didactic information through a robotic program management site visit," Jayjohn recommended. Once facilities start to get an idea of what is involved, they can start to comprehend the challenges they will need to address before the robot arrives.
Patient positioning, surgical scheduling, sterilization of the robotic instrumentation, even simple logistical concerns such as having enough voltage in the OR to support the additional equipment, can be challenging and time-consuming, said Cunningham. However, the task is not insurmountable. A copious amount of research, planning and staff training is required.
If possible, hire or appoint a robotics coordinator, said Donna Seifert, MBA, RN, clinical director of perioperative services at USC University Hospital, Los Angeles. The robotics coordinator, often a nurse manager, can coordinate the planning and staff training necessary for good outcomes.
Sitren recommends robotics coordinators work closely with the facility's surgeons who have robotic surgery experience. These surgeons can provide invaluable input as to what is needed to maintain a robotic surgery program.
Staff Training
Educating staff members is an integral part of creating a successful robotic surgery program.
"As a nurse manager, you have to coach the nursing and medical staff through a somewhat challenging learning curve," said Claire Fitzgerald-O'Shea, MSN, RN, nursing director of the OR at Brigham and Women's. This will likely require multiple site visits, mock procedures, inservices with the robot vendor and creation of self-study materials, Sitren said. At OSUMC, there are five robots: four are consistently in use for surgery and one is reserved solely for training and mock procedures.
But training should not stop at clinical competency with the robot, said Jayjohn. "Staff members need to know how to troubleshoot common problems with the robot. What happens if a light bulb goes out in the middle of a procedure? It's not fair to the patient on the table, who may have traveled a great distance and spent a lot of time and money choosing your robotic surgery program, to have to convert to an open procedure because of a technical problem with the robot."
Finally, remember that enough staff members must be trained to provide backup at all times. "During the initial ramp-up of the program, cases can run later than expected. If cases run late, staff on multiple shifts must be trained and ready to take over," Cunningham said. But training every staff member in robotics may not be the answer either; limiting the number of staff trained in robotic surgery can ensure all maintain the necessary level of competency for excellent care, she added.
An Ongoing Process
Creating a robotic surgery program is an ongoing process, not one that is achieved when the first case is completed or a certain number of robots are up and running. Make sure your organization is committed to supporting and developing the program over the long-term, Fitzgerald-O'Shea said.
Continue to do research, even after that first case, Sitren said, so you are aware of the diversity of the robot. The facility may be able to incorporate new types of surgery and more complex cases over time. "After they've been doing cases for a while, send staff back for training on more complex cases," Jayjohn said.
In addition to expanding the scope of the robotic program, "everyone must constantly reassess the program that is in place to identify areas for improvement," Cunningham said. At Brigham and Women's Hospital, a committed group of nurses identifies staff concerns and system issues within the robotic program on a continual basis.
Finally, do not lose sight of the "bottom line," Jayjohn said. Incorporating robotic surgery is exciting, but ultimately only worth the investment in time and money if it ends up making patient care better.

Immunofluorescence analysis of Smooth muscle actin was done on 70% confluent log phase MDCK cells. The cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde for 15 minutes; permeabilized with 0.25% Triton™ X-100 for 10 minutes followed by blocking with 5% BSA for 1 hour at room temperature. The cells were incubated with ABfinity™ Smooth muscle actin Recombinant Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody (701457) at 2 µg-4 µg in 1% BSA and incubated for 3 hours at room temperature and then labeled with Alexa Flour® 488 Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG Secondary Antibody (A11008) at a dilution of 1:400 for 30 minutes at room temperature (Panel a: green). Nuclei (Panel b: blue) were stained with SlowFade® Gold Antifade Mountant with DAPI (S36938). F-actin (Panel c: red) was stained with Alexa Fluor® 594 Phalloidin (A12381). Panel d is a merged image showing actin filament localization of Smooth muscle actin. Panel e shows no primary antibody control. The images were captured at 20X magnification.

This antibody is predicted to react with bovine, canine, rabbit, rat and porcine based on sequence homology.
ABfinity™ recombinant antibodies are rabbit monoclonal antibodies, unmatched for producing superior results. ABfinity™ antibodies are developed by immunizing animals, screening for functionality, cloning the immunogen-specific antibody genes into high-level mammalian expression vectors, produced on a large scale, and purified with Protein A.
ABfinity™ monoclonal antibodies resemble rabbit monoclonals isolated from serum or produced by hybridomas, but demonstrate greater specificity and sensitivity. Because ABfinity™ recombinant antibodies are derived from cloned DNA sequences of the heavy and light antibody chains, they are not susceptible to cell-line drift or lot-to-lot variation, thus allowing for peak specificity and performance.
Intact IgG appears on a non-reducing gel as ~150 kDa band and upon reduction generating a ~25 kDa light chain band and a ~50 kDa heavy chain.
Smooth muscle is found in the walls of blood vessels, lymphatic vessels, and a number of other tissues, where it provides mechanical support, and is a major component of the contractile apparatus. One of the primary components of smooth muscle is actin, which has six known isotypes in mammals. Smooth muscle actin exists in alpha-and gamma-actin isoforms.

Jeannette softball team lands in middle of section
Diversity is a concept often stressed in modern-day high school classrooms and one the Jeannette softball team has taken to heart.
The Jayhawks' first week of action included three games that were diverse not because of who played in them, but because of the radically different progression and outcomes of each.
A season-opening, extra-innings loss to Monessen preceded a low-scoring, pitching/defensive clinic against a very good Leechburg team, which preceded a disappointing loss to Riverview in which the Jayhawks were thoroughly out-hit.
The whirlwind week left Jeannette at 1-2, 1-1 in Section 3-A, and in the middle of a pack of several teams that bounced wins off of one another in the earliest part of the season.
All in all, Jeannette head coach Dee Cortazzo is not overly pleased nor displeased with her team.
"In 15 years of coaching, this is the first year we did not have an outside practice before playing a game," said Cortazzo. "We did some things good and we have to improve on some others."
Among the good that Cortazzo cited was the offense in the opener at Monessen. Junior Sarah Pitzer was four for five, junior Delaney Cortazzo was a solid three for three and Nicole Hall went two for five including a grand slam.
The Jayhawks had no problem scoring, but were not able to hold off the Greyhounds.
"They couldn't get the top of our order out, but we couldn't get them out either," said Cortazzo.
Jeannette rebounded at Leechburg thanks to a great pitching performance by Hall and an equally solid day in the field. Hall struck out nine, and Cortazzo and Monique Redman had run-producing hits to help the Jayhawks to a 2-1 win.
"Leechburg is a very good team," said Cortazzo. "I am very pleased with how we played that game."
The week ended on a sour note as Riverview put one on Jeannette, 10-2.
"We were completely out-hit in that game," said Cortazzo. "We had eight hits, but they had 14 and we didn't strike anybody out."
The loss dropped the Jayhawks to 1-1 in section play and set up a big week this week — four section games in four days — which should reveal which Jeannette team of the three that competed last week will emerge.
WPIAL Section 3-A:
Riverview (2-0) (2-1)
Leechburg (2-1) (2-1)
St. Joseph (1-1) (1-1)
Vincentian Academy (1-1)
Jeannette (1-1) (1-2)
Springdale (1-2) (1-2)
Ellis School (0-2) (0-2)

Shares in drug developer Biota have fallen more than 34 per cent from a 12-month high of $3.34 and in the past five sessions the stock has dropped 7.5 per cent.
Biota shares surged 495 per cent in 2009, driven by expectations of higher royalty payments from increased sales of its Relenza anti-viral drug.
Last year, governments increased their orders for anti-viral drugs after swine flu broke out, but with the threat of swine flu diminishing it appears investors have decided to ditch the stock and book profits.
In an attempt to diversify its business, Biota, agreed to buy two companies developing treatments to fight antibiotic-resistant "super bugs" late last year.
Biota said it would acquire MaxThera for $US1.5 million ($1.6 million) and planned to invest up to $US15 million in the Boston-based company over the next three to five years. MaxThera develops antibacterial compounds to treat bacterial infections that are resistant to existing antibiotics.
On Friday, the shares closed down 12¢ at $2.15.

Mr. NUNNELEE. Mr. Speaker, yesterday in this Chamber, we listened as Prime Minister Netanyahu outlined a viable plan for peace in the Middle East, a plan that includes a free Palestinian state and a secure Israel.
Earlier, President Obama used the phrase, ``The United States believes,'' to articulate his beliefs that this peace should be based on the 1967 borders.
This is not how the United States feels or has ever felt about Israel, an ally and a close friend; a friendship based on common democratic values, religious affinities, and security interests. As a friend, we cannot force Israel into indefensible borders ultimately leading to its destruction, because Israel is surrounded by people who want to see it wiped off the face of the Earth.
Israel is our friend, and we, the United States of America, believe in standing with our friend.

I had Juvaderm injected into upper lip about 4 months ago and like the results EXCEPT I now have dark lines around parts of my upper lip that look like lip liner, but an ugly color! I also have what appears to be broken capillaries in 1 small area directly above my lip- its red and quite ugly & I now need to wear makeup to cover it. I've heard of tyndall effect, could this be my problem and if so, how do I get rid of the lines & redness?
Dark Lines on Lips Post Juvaderm- is This Tyndall Effect?
Doctor Answers 8
Tyndall or Hyperpigementation
The darkening of the upper lip line area could be the Tyndall effect or Hyperpigmentation do to trauma or bruising of the tissue. The small vessels that appear after the injections may or may not have been caused by the trauma but they should be able to be treated with a laser. I would recommend following up with the provider who initially treated you. Juvederm in the lips typically will last 6-9 months on average.
Hope this helps.

Dark lines after Juvederm
Usually the Tyndall effect looks bluish - so this is unlikely to be the cause of your discoloration. I would definitely go to your doctor to have them take a look. You need to have someone examine you to be able to try to figure out what is causing your problem and the best way to fix it.

Dark lip lines after Juvederm lip augmentation
I'm not sure this is tyndall effect but could be hemosiderin pigment that was deposited from bruising as a result of having Juvederm injected in the lip border.

Dark Lines on Lips Post Juvaderm- is This Tyndall Effect?
This is definitely a Tyndall effect but will improve with time. Typically, Juvederm will comfortably last 6 months in the lips themseleves and can last as long as 9-12. Correction of this with hyaluronidase should only be attempted within the first few weeks as it is inexact after that time window and may only compound your problem.
The area above your lip that has dilation of blood vessels may improve but if it doesn't a short laser procedure can correct that area in the long run.
Feel comfortable asking the treating surgeon if they have any other recommendations...but in general...time will solve the majority of your concerns. Dr. Shep

Tyndall Effect
Tyndall effect is a bluish discoloration that can occur when Juvederm is injected too superficially -- it is also possible that the dark lines are due to bruising or post inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Best to have your lips check by a board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon.
Tyndall effect (blue discoloration) from Juvederm in the lips
What you are describing does sound like the Tyndall effect. If so, it typically would have been visible soon after the injection, and would last for as long as the Juvederm lasts (at least some of the Juvederm probably lasts for a year or longer)
Since it has already been four months, some of the Juvederm is already being absorbed. You can use hyaluronidase to remove the Juvederm more quickly, but it is hard to control and will probably be somewhat uneven. You might be best served by just covering this with makeup and letting the Juvederm slowly absorb.
Next time, let the doctor know what happened (pictures are always helpful!) and ask them to put the Juvederm a little bit deeper.
Tyndall effect and Juvederm
It is unlikely that you are experiencing the Tyndall effect from Juvederm placed 4 months ago. I would suggest you discuss with your surgeon or dermatologist. The tyndall effect may result from superficially placed Juvederm but 4 months afterwards in the lip is not typical.
Juvederm is the best filler for the lips
The discoloration you are experiencing can be due to the juvederm being injected too superficially which can leave a bluish discoloration to the skin. The good news is that there are relatively simple ways of erasing this. The doctor can make a small puncture in the area and squeeze out the juvederm, or they can inject an ingredient called hyaluronidase which helps melt the product without harming your skin. it would be a good idea to visit the doctor who did the injection so they can evaluate and guide you as to whether or not these treatments would be appropriate for you or if simply gentle massage of the area over time would take care of it.
As for the broken capillaires, those can sometimes resolve on their own, or they can be treated with a laser very effectively. You can ask your doctor about the v-beam laser to help treat that issue as needed.

All schools are expected to think about and provide g&t education, but it's up to each school to find out which way suits them best. There is no prescriptive package, no separate strategy, no tick-box pile of papers. As Professor Deborah Eyre at the National Academy for Gifted and Talented Youth says: "There is no single way to do it - it depends on the context."
An inner-city school, for example, might decide to help its able, disadvantaged pupils by providing extra study support, while a rural school may need to boost g&t children by widening their horizons. Some schools choose to place their g&t cohort in the limelight at times, to act as role models for others, while in other schools, g&t children may not even be aware they are on the register.
Here and on subsequent pages, we look at different models of g&t practice around the country. We consider how far g&t education can help to drive whole-school improvement at a secondary school in Marlyebone. We look at the work of a Nagty "ambassador" school near Cambridge and we visit a primary school in Leeds to assess the g&t legacy of Excellence in Cities. We meet young sporting talents at Capital city academy and we watch a group of young writers hone their skills in a Norwich masterclass.
None of these institutions, however, can deliver effective g&t education in isolation. Partnership is essential here, and we sample some of the different ways in which schools, local authorities, universities and regional centres are working together to support the gifted and talented.
Symbols of change
It's a beautiful autumnal day and outside, on Marylebone High Street, pavement cafe tables are fully occupied. Inside, however, in the rather cramped year 10 art class at St Marylebone school, the windows are locked with metal grilles.
"Originally they were put up to protect the glass from flying footballs," says deputy head Jon Hunter. "Now it's because there's building work going on next door. Eventually we shall have two new studios for art and we won't have to use this old maths room."
The cranes and cement mixers are somehow symbolic of the changes taking place at this vibrant comprehensive in central London. The school, nominally C of E but attracting girls of many faiths, is expanding mentally as well as physically. Exam results have risen markedly since the mid-90s, when 39% of pupils achieved five or more A* to C grades at GCSE. Now the figure has reached 91%.
The sixth form has more than doubled in the same period to around 200 - boys as well as girls. And last year there were 1,056 applicants for 120 places in year 7. All this improvement and expansion is being fuelled by a g&t programme that is designed to stretch the top 10% but not at the expense of the other 90%.
On the contrary. Hunter argues that the latter benefit from a "knock-on" effect. "A scheme like this is only elitist if you close the door," he says. "The girls who need stretching are not the only ones to benefit. It's only a short step from there to saying that everyone needs stretching. At GCSE, for instance, the grades are creeping up overall. We're getting more A*s, As and Bs than we are Cs."
Certainly every one of the year 10 girls, elbow to elbow for this afternoon's art class, seems to be totally engaged. "We get a lot of positive feedback about our work," says Shantel Burbridge, 14, one of the top 10% given extra opportunities to develop their talents. And not just in art. "I spent part of my holidays, two years ago, at the Central School of Speech and Drama," she says.
Classmate Lucy Costelloe chips in: "And I had a chance to learn about robotics at Imperial College. Both my sisters were amazed. They go to fee-paying schools and they've never had the chance to do anything like that."
Amazing teachers
Lucy is one of that rare breed who is keen on the sciences as well as the arts. But art itself is evidently a passion. "The art teachers are amazing," she says, "and there's a really good atmosphere. Everybody around me is so good at drawing and painting. I'm really proud of the work I've done here."
Needless to say, the make-up of London has changed markedly in the intervening half-century. The school's intake is ethnically mixed. Pupils speak 30 languages between them and travel from all over the 18 boroughs north of the Thames. Girls from the deprived estates of south Camden and north Westminster rub shoulders with a small but growing minority from St John's Wood, Mayfair and Marylebone itself - areas where many parents traditionally send their offspring to independent schools.
Only a small proportion of the intake is specially selected and these are children with a specific talent for dance, drama, music or another sphere of the arts. "We don't want this to be a 'Fame' school," says head of performing arts Sonia George. "But we do want to give opportunities to pupils who will benefit from being stretched in their own specialities while getting a good, all-round education."
Those who are - the top 10% academically - are pushed quite hard on the basis of how well they do in standard assessment tests and how much they impress their teachers. And with all this pushing and stretching, do these able children need extra emotional support?
"Not really," says Hunter. "There's enough pastoral care in the existing system. We have a g&t coordinator who offers mentoring. She'd soon know if somebody was being overstretched."

Capsule coffee machines are a little like inkjet printers: the hardware is cheap, and the real money is in selling refills – six or seven grams of coffee at 80 cents a shot sounds like nothing until you do the maths and find you're paying $140 a kilo.
Non-genuine pods are an option, although their appeal is mostly cost rather than quality. Nescafe has taken (and withdrawn) legal action against companies who manufacture Nespresso-compatible pods; the Swiss giant's main copy-protection mechanism now is the brand loyalty engendered by George Clooney in flip-flops.
Last year Keurig, the US manufacturer of K-Cup, fitted their pods with a recognition tag to stop people using cheaper pods: the system was hacked in no time, with smart coffee drinkers cutting the tags off used K-Cup capsules and taping them over the machine's sensor.
The Sydney-based roaster Vittoria has taken another tack, launching its own system. The Espressotoria is based on the Swiss Mocoffee machine, designed by the inventor of Nespresso, Eric Favre, though Vittoria has made some modifications to the capsule piercing mechanism. It takes only Vittoria capsules and the associated nonna-and-nonno brands Chicco D'Oro and Caffe Aurora, all now roasted and packed in Australia to ensure freshness, says Vittoria's Les Schirato.
The $99 Espressotoria Capino is a solid-feeling machine with two functions: short black or long.
The Vittoria-branded capsules include a 100 per cent arabica espresso, a Mountain Grown espresso (also 100 per cent arabica), a Swiss Water decaf and a certified organic. The capsules cost $8.39 for a pack of 12.
In short mode, once I'd reprogrammed it, the Capino extracted 33 grams of coffee in 15 seconds (too fast for a "real" espresso of 30 grams in 30 seconds. "At the end of the day, you can't get the extraction that a good barista can get with a commercial espresso machine," says Schirato).
The resulting cup had a pale crema and a nutty, chocolatey aroma. The flavour is of pleasant, clean arabica espresso, tending to sour fruit rather than bright, with a mild, ashy finish, and, like all capsule coffee, was a little thin in the mouth.
The Mountain Grown capsules taste richer and cleaner in acidity, while the organic had unusual sweet marzipan nuttiness.
The long black mode extracted 100 grams in 30 seconds, and was pretty flavour-free. But as Les Schirato points out, the way to make a long black is to pull a single shot into hot water.
Capsule machines like the Capino are a big step up for coffee drinkers who've been on instant, and ensure the kind of consistency that many people struggle for with home espresso machines, with some compromise in flavour and mouthfeel.
And with 100,000 Espressotoria machines sold, the business sense is clear: as Schirato points out, "Pure coffee is five times bigger than capsules in sales volume, but capsules are already half our market in dollars."

The third leaked document in a week on the Government's work and family policies yesterday revealed that Prime Minister John Howard personally acknowledged many months ago the need to rejig the family payment system.
A letter sent by Mr Howard last year to then family and community services minister Amanda Vanstone shows the Prime Minister was worried that debts incurred by families through overpayments of Family Tax Benefits were damaging the Government.
Mr Howard wrote that debts continued to be "an issue for many families" and had the potential to "undermine appreciation of the Government's significant achievements in the priority area of work and family".
The letter asked Senator Vanstone to work with Treasurer Peter Costello to fix the problem, but no changes have since been made to the system.
Last week, Labor released a leaked report showing the Government's family taskforce recommended more than a year ago that the Government should adopt paid maternity leave, boost child care and change the family payments scheme.
Then, on Sunday, Channel Nine produced a document showing that cabinet acknowledged 14 months ago that there were pressures on families and toyed with the idea of work and family reforms in last year's May budget.
But yesterday, Mr Howard hit back at Labor claims that he was waiting until closer to an election to release a package, to maximise the political gains from the big spending.
He released a statement saying that the Government had decided to give priority in last year's budget to across-the-board tax cuts.
The series of leaks suggests bureaucrats may be frustrated that the reforms are being dragged out.
Labor renewed its attacks yesterday, with Family and Community Affairs spokesman Wayne Swan bringing up reports that the Howard Government had to delay its work and family policies because it was too busy with the war in Iraq.
"(Mr Howard) can marshal the political will to go to war in Iraq in a short period of time but he cannot do anything for Australian families," Mr Swan said.

Berlioz's Symphonie fantastique
composed by Hector Berlioz, conducted by Valery Gergiev
The London Symphony Orchestra present Berlioz's Waverley overture, Les nuits d'été and Symphonie fantastique, featuring the acclaimed mezzo-soprano Karen Cargill.
Berlioz let his imagination run wild in his music, finding inspiration in all manner of sources, including his own turbulent personal life. His experience of powerful, unrequited love finds its expression in the emotionally charged Symphonie fantastique, the story of an artist's 'hopeless love', complete with waltzes, witches and a hallucinogenic nightmare.
There are few orchestras with the music of Berlioz more thoroughly in their blood than the LSO, and here Valery Gergiev showcases his opulent interpretation of this landmark piece.
Gergiev came to the platform and launched a seemingly possessed LSO into some of the most thrilling Berlioz one could ever hope to hear. ... With utterly sincere lyricism from cor anglais Christine Pendrill alongside ear-splitting, monstrous brass fanfares, this was a performance which, whilst totally committed to Berlioz's uncanny ideas, was just as original and brilliant as the man himself.
Gergiev strode onto the stage to deliver a robust reading of Berlioz's Waverley overture. ... With Gergiev's awareness of colour and timbre, their performance made for enjoyable listening.

@thomas07: I've gotta be honest and say I have no clue what your last post is trying to say… I think you're trying to express that this is a long conversation and what happens, happens for better or worse… but the language/proofreading barrier was pretty steep on your last comment.
Sorry I can't respond directly. Anyways – yes, this is a long debate, but having put in my two cents I'm gonna step out for a bit. Cheers
thats cool, thanks for taking time and share your opinions…much appreciated. I also must get back to work LOL …cheers
but still i just dont think the customers coming here to buy stuff are coming here looking to spend that kind of money, the price does not seem worth it to be unique they could do the same thing, customized to their needs by hiring a designer/developer one on one.
the whole point of these sites is quality material for next to nothing in cost…. these themes have sold TONS of times yet u dont see them everywhere so its not an issue to be unique IMO …
again i just dont think people come here prepared to drop over 50 bucks on ANY one item…
In my opinion buyers , if interested, would only like the unique idea, if they were the first buyer.
+1 that says it all.
This format that you're suggesting already exists in the industry in the form of freelancing – there's no need to duplicate it.
@Epicera: I'm not sure where I stand on the idea of offering an exclusive use license in the Envato marketplace but I would like to point out that it is not the equivalent of Freelancing. In freelancing all your work is almost entirely a reaction to client specifications. Under the "exclusive use" license authors are bounded only by their own creativity and imagination, but have an opportunity to earn a decent income from a highly creative and well implemented niche idea. It's no coincidence that most templates here target creative types; there is already a large pool of potential customers visiting Envato every day, but if, say, a Flash developer were to create a really great website targeting Realtors, for example, they would likely never sell enough copies on Flashden over any amount of time to make it worth the development time. However, if it were to be offered with an exclusive use license it would only take one Realtor to stumble on it and be impressed enough to buy it and all the hard work is rewarded. Of course a certain amount of freelancing will inevitably result from the purchase of some "exclusive use" items to make them fit exactly the clients' requirements.
This leads me to the conclusion that if Envato were to consider offering an "exclusive use" license at all there should perhaps be two categories: one for template-type items, in which the item is offered only for a fixed period of time with an "exclusive use" license, and later reverts to the general stock marketplace if it remains unsold, and one for niche items which would remain priced for exclusive use until they are sold or removed.
@theflyingtinman : good thoughts, and I agree – freelance doesn't necessarily match up perfectly with 'exclusive licenses' – I intended that example more as a price/value comparison as the costs that people are throwing around for this unique license are similar to what a freelancer might charge.
In my opinion buyers , if interested, would only like the unique idea, if they were the first buyer.
As fifty-tons has pointed out – in addition to all of the other arguments against an exclusive license, this one stands out as the most problematic. The very notion of exclusivity precludes that no one else has the design. Your suggestion of having a phased "unique license" period of time where buyers could in effect buy the rights to a product before it hits the market solves that problem, but it underlines another – What becomes of the market when the "best" designs that are normally offered as microstock are unavailable? The core income flow from countless $10 or $15 purchases would become a trickle and the overall level of quality in the library drops… and many of the highest quality items that would normally net several thousands of dollars over time would be sold off at a fraction of their "lifetime value".
And this is assuming that there is even a demand for these ultra-high priced licenses… which I still think doesn't exist (although I'd be happy to find out that I'm wrong).
No one really wins in this case – the author gets more money up front, but less in the long run – the marketplace deals with the same issue, in addition to the fact that the removed items will weaken it's product-base – and the customer just paid top dollar for a template that they could have paid a freelancer to build for them… and they'll most likely still have to fork out cash to a freelancer to customize it.
I understand the appeal of being able to make quick-cash from any one product, I just think it breaks many of the marketing/business rules that exist in the market today; not to mention that I still have not read a full scenario proposed on this board that explains this new license idea as a viable and healthy direction for the marketplace. In every case that I've read so far, there are a few benefits with overwhelming detriments, complications, and legal obstacles.
I'm not certain how effective the unique price would be for a site template or something that would potentially sell a lot, but I CAN vouch that a system like this for audio could work very well. There are many types of songs that are in niche markets, game music especially holds extreme importance when somebody wants to stand apart from the others.
In this regard game music here sells very poorly because after the fifth time or so people don't want to buy it anymore because somewhere out there, there are 5 games with that same track.
It is impossible to make $200+ with a single track in this niche market, but a lot more money can be made by a buyer who was willing to pay that extra to make sure the track they bought is only used by them.
@epicera: You make a good point about the possible loss of the "cream" from Envato by allowing them to be sold on an "exclusive use" license. This helps me firm up my position: It really only makes good sense to allow authors to opt for an "exclusive use" license for "niche" items which would almost certainly never reach significant sales numbers over time.
So in my ideal scenario authors would be able to request an "exclusive use" license if they believe a file fills a niche well but would target only a small market.
If Envato agree that the file is a "niche" item Envato would then suggest a price but the author would have the right to reject the suggested price before the file is presented in the marketplace.
If Envato feel the file is generic enough to generate significant sales they could reject the author's request for an "exclusive use" license and offer the author the option to have it treated as a normal stock item upload.
I totally agree with DigitalScience. If you do some research and look at the long running and successful products on FD you'll notice that they have earnt more for the authors than a single sale ever would have. Buyers benefit and so do authors from the micro stock system.
For Audio: If I would search the www for someone who could create a great and unique piano track for my next project, because I don't know someone who could do this for me, (for example) and google would lead me to audiojungle.net and i would, and there is actually no way i would not, discover the portfolio of MusicforMedia..well i would contact him directly and i would pay his rate for an unique track…
quality sells, quality results in custom inqueries, results in unique items, results in higher prices, simple as that.. my 42cents and thanks for all the fish

I'm trying to switch to m0n0wall for the very same reason. It looks
like I'll have to dig into ipfilter at least enough to follow the
basics of rule processing. Not much is obvious to me at this point.

I'm hoping you meant "ipfstat -sl". If you did, and this means what I
think it does, it looks like the connection state is being setup:
192.168.1.30 -> aaa.bbb.ccc.29 ttl 356 pass 0x500a pr 6 state 2/0
pkts 6 bytes 288 3194 -> 80 b7d78220:0 64240<<0:1<<0
pass in quick keep state IPv4
pkt_flags & 2(b2) = b, pkt_options & ffffffff = 0
pkt_security & ffff = 0, pkt_auth & ffff = 0
interfaces: in sis0,- out sis1,-
The only part that looks off is the "out sis1" part. sis1 is the WAN
interface, but the .29 server is connected to the sis2 (DMZ) interface.
If the NAT is watching for the traffic to return specifically on the
sis1 interface, it's not going to match.
That's just another theory, but I've been in way over my head for quite
a while now.

* Fed stimulus plan propels copper, metals to multi-month highs * Copper up over 10 pct over past two weeks * Commodities in next leg of super-cycle - analyst * Coming up: U.S. Empire States Manufacturing Index Monday By Chris Kelly and Harpreet Bhal NEW YORK/LONDON, Sept 14 (Reuters) - Copper rallied Friday to its highest level in 4-1/2 months on the prospects of a demand boost from a new round of monetary stimulus from the Federal Reserve to boost the world's largest economy. Gains spanned the base metals complex, with markets from aluminum to zinc all scaling multi-month peaks alongside a rise in risk appetite across financial markets after the Fed said on Thursday it would pump $40 billion into the U.S. economy each month until it saw a sustained upturn in the weak jobs market. The Fed's aggressive plan enhanced what was an already upbeat mood in financial markets since the European Central Bank (ECB) announced plans to cut the borrowing costs of struggling euro zone members. "It's the concerted effort between the ECB and the Fed ... more accommodation means more money floating out there in these various economies to try and get them jump-started," said Michael K. Smith, president of T & K Futures and Options Inc. in Port St. Lucie, Florida. COMEX copper for December delivery shot up by 12.25 cents or 3.3 percent to settle at $3.8325 per lb, just shy of its intra-day peak at $3.8380, which marked its priciest level since May 1. The day's low was $3.73. COMEX volumes rose above 57,000 lots in late New York trade, nearly a third above the 30-day norm, according to preliminary Thomson Reuters data. At the London Metal Exchange (LME), three-month copper peaked at $8,411 a tonne, another high dating back to early May. It closed up $305 at $8,380. "It's clear that the markets have taken a very positive view on the Fed's action last night, and we have seen a strong move up today in markets," said Ross Strachan, economist at Capital Economics. Copper prices rose over 5 percent this week, bringing its gains over the past two weeks to more than 10 percent -- the biggest two-week rise since November last year. Even so, some traders and analysts doubted if the rally could be sustained for long as downstream copper demand in China remained sluggish. Still, others believed the recent actions by the ECB and the Fed, as well as China's approval of a $157 billion infrastructure plan could set the stage for the next leg higher. "What has happened is hugely bullish ... this is the next leg of this commodity super-cycle," said T & K Futures' Smith. He expected copper prices to pull back early next week in consolidation from the recent rally, but then push higher on follow-through buying. "If it pulls back 15 to 20 cents next week, people are going to jump on it." EURO ZONE The spotlight turned again on the euro zone, as finance ministers will discuss on Friday if Spain should ask for financial support after the ECB's new bond-buying program brought Madrid's borrowing costs lower. "We have seen markets take a relatively positive view on recent developments in the euro zone," Strachan said. "But as we have seen in the past ... the initial optimism has often dissipated very quickly and markets have slipped back as the reality of the underlying weakness in those economies comes to the fore." In other metals, LME aluminum rose $93 to finish at $2,195 a tonne, after touching its highest since late March at $2,199. In China, aluminum profile manufacturers in Guangdong have reported a rise in orders this month, after a decline in order books in the past 3-4 months. Analysts and industry sources see this as a sign of recovering demand. Tin rallied $1,325 to end at $21,675 a tonne, its highest since early May. Indonesia's biggest tin miner PT Timah forecast production would be at least 38,000 tonnes this year, an official at the state-owned firm said on Friday, little-changed from the previous year.

TEL AVIV (Aug. 22)
Israeli officials declined to comment on a report in Time magazine that Israel is preparing a missile to launch its own surveillance satellite in low earth orbit.
According to Time, the satellite is designed to spy on military preparations and movements in the neighboring Arab countries.
Time says the "Shavit" (comet) missile was built by Israel's leading missile manufacturer, the Rafael weapons development authority, in collaboration with Israel Aircraft Industries.
If the report is true, Israel would become the world's eighth country known to possess a rocket strong enough to put a satellite in orbit.
An Israeli spy satellite would make the country independent of the United States in obtaining satellite intelligence.
