The majority of ovarian cancer patients present with advanced disease and despite aggressive treatment, prognosis remains poor. Significant improvement in ovarian cancer survival will require the development of more effective molecularly targeted therapeutics. Commonly, mouse models are used for the
Ovarian cancer is the most lethal gynecological malignancy. Most patients are diagnosed at an advanced stage when the cancer cells have already metastasized to the abdominal cavity. Ovarian cancer metastasis is characterized by the ability of ovarian cancer cells to detach from the ovary and to adhere and invade the peritoneal cell layer, which lines the organs in the abdominal cavity [
CAM assays have been widely used to study angiogenesis [
Although the CAM assay is a well established model for studying tumour angiogenesis and invasion in malignancies such as bowel cancer [
We compared the motility and invasion of three ovarian cancer cells (OVCAR-3, SKOV-3 and OV-90) using

The invasion of the ovarian cancer cells through the ectoderm into the mesoderm was assessed on day 14 of chick embryo development. OVCAR-3 cytokeratin immunohistochemistry showed some damage to the ectoderm layer but minimal invasion into the CAM mesoderm (
Quantitative analysis of ovarian cancer cell invasion into the CAM was performed by determining the number of images (8 to 12 sections per chick embryo) with cancer cell invasion into the CAM mesoderm of day 14 chick embryos. Our results showed a significantly higher invasion of OV-90 and SKOV-3 cells into the CAM mesoderm, when compared with OVCAR-3 cells (

We have shown that OV-90 ovarian cancer cells invade into the mesoderm of the CAM within three days of implantation, therefore making the OV-90 CAM model ideal for studying ovarian cancer invasion and metastasis. In contrast, the OVCAR-3 cells showed limited invasion in the CAM over the three days of our assays, and would therefore be suitable for studying the role of molecules that promote ovarian cancer invasion. In conclusion, the CAM model provides a high throughput
The human ovarian cancer cell lines OVCAR-3, SKOV-3 and OV-90 were obtained from American Type Culture Collection (ATCC, Manassas, VA, USA). All ovarian cancer cell lines were maintained in RPMI 1640 medium supplemented with 4 mM
Cell motility and invasion assays were performed as previously described [
Fertilized white leghorn chicken eggs were obtained from Hi-Chick, South Australia, Australia. Eggs were incubated in a MultiQuip Incubator (E2) at 37 °C with 60% humidity. Ethics approval was obtained by the University of Adelaide Animal Ethics Committee. A small window was made in the shell on day 3 of chick embryo development under aseptic conditions. The window was resealed with adhesive tape and eggs were returned to the incubator until day 11 of chick embryo development. On day 11, OVCAR-3, SKOV-3 and OV-90 cell suspensions (9 × 105) were mixed with growth factor reduced matrigel (8.9 mg/mL, BD Biosciences, NSW, Australia) in a total volume of 30 μL. Control anti-mouse IgG (20 μg/mL) (Sigma Aldrich) and neutralizing antibody to protein A (20 μg/mL) (BD Biosciences) were mixed together with the OV-90 cancer cells and matrigel. Matrigel grafts were placed on top of the CAM and eggs were resealed and returned to the incubator for 72 hours until day 14 (n = 6 chicken embryos per cell line). Matrigel grafts with surrounding CAM were harvested from each embryo and fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde for 24 hours and embedded in paraffin. Serial sections (6 μm) were stained with hematoxylin and eosin. Slides were digitally scanned using the NanoZoomer (Hamamatsu Photonics K.K., Japan).
CAM paraffin sections (6 μm) were incubated on a heat plate at 60 °C for 2 hours. Tissue sections were dewaxed with xylene and ethanol, followed by PBS washes. Antigen retrieval was performed by using 1% protease (Sigma-Aldrich) for 10 minutes on a heat plate at 37 °C. The endogenous peroxidase activity of the sections was quenched with 0.3% H2O2. Each tissue sample was blocked with 5% goat serum for 30 minutes before incubation with monoclonal mouse anti-human cytokeratin clone AE1/AE3 (1:50, Dako, VIC, Australia) at 4 °C overnight. Subsequently, the tissues sections were incubated sequentially with biotinylated goat anti-mouse (1:400, Dako), followed by streptavidin-HRP conjugated (1:500, Dako) for 1 hour at room temperature. Immunoreactivity was detected using diaminobenzidine/H2O2 substrate (Sigma-Aldrich). The sections were counterstained with 10% haematoxylin (Sigma-Aldrich), dehydrated and mounted in Pertex (Medite Medizintechnik, Germany). Slides were digitally scanned using the NanoZoomer (Hamamatsu Photonics K.K.). For quantitative analysis of ovarian cancer cell invasion into the mesoderm layer, 8 to 12 CAM images from each embryo were assessed by two independent researchers [
All analyses were performed using SPSS 15.0 for Windows software (SPSS, Chicago, IL, USA). The student's t-test and one-way ANOVA were used to determine statistical significance of ovarian cancer cell motility and invasion
The CAM assay is a robust technique that can be used to monitor invasion of ovarian cancer cell lines and to assess the role of novel molecules and potential therapeutic targets. It is a valuable alternative to murine

London: Fast bowler Stuart Broad, who was man of the match in Sunday"s 197-run series-clinching win over Australia at The Oval, has said that England"s aim is to become the No.1 Test team following their 2-1 Ashes series triumph.
But Broad warned that he and England have much more to prove yet.
"I woke up with a huge smile on my face – I"ve not stopped smiling," The Telegraph quoted him, as saying.
Broad wants to win Ashes to shut up his dad
"We move on and focus on future challenges. Our ultimate aim is to become the No 1 team in the world - but that does not happen overnight," Broad said.
The absence of Flintoff will be hard felt, but Broad points out that he has been missing before with injury.
"We are not rabbits in the headlights without Fred. We have had to play at times without him before. But he has been a huge help to me, and I cannot thank him enough for what he has done for English cricket," he said.
Many will now look to Broad to fill Flintoff''s boots - just as they did with others a generation before when the great Ian Botham retired.

text: 16 July 2001 Beeb gets all boss-eyed Television - Andrew Billen unearths a gem on dead-end office life in Slough Sign up for our weekly email * The Office (Mondays, 9.30pm, BBC2) is the funniest comedy since Marion and Geoff. The office in question is located on a trading estate in Slough, for which Betjeman's friendly bombs never did come. From here, the bored and incompetent administer the distribution of plain paper, huge stocks of which lie in the warehouse beneath them. The show's writer-directors, Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant, thus confront the writer's terror of the blank sheet in the typewriter and beat it into gold dust. The office boss is David Brent, played by Gervais himself. In the opening episode on 9 July, he was told by his superiors that the office would close unless it proved itself leaner and meaner than its twin in Swindon. This was an unfunny situation, to which Brent responded in the only way he knew: by pretending it was a funny situation. Being funny is Brent's sole contribution to the theory of management. "When people ask me whether I'd rather be thought of as a funny man or a great boss, my answer is always the same: they are not mutually exclusive," he tells us in the second episode. "There is a weight of intellect behind my comedy. If you asked me to name three geniuses, I probably wouldn't go Einstein, Newton . . . [he cannot think of a third scientist]. I'd say Millington, Cleese, Everett." What is so good about that line - and it is typical - is the overfamiliar omission of the comedians' first names, and also the inclusion of Kenny Everett. Everett is just one clue that Brent, who appears to have modelled himself physically as well as professionally on Jeremy Beadle, has no aptitude for comedy, and may, indeed, suffer a sense-of-humour deficit rather than a surplus. In his constant references to his staff as "mad", there is a hint that he has actually had a nervous breakdown himself. His joking certainly covers something up, and when the underlings make jokes at his expense, they reveal his thin, easily bruised skin. Mostly, however, his joking is not defensive, but part of a desperate charm offensive. Friendless, he wants to be everyone's best mate. Brent thinks the key to office life is "morale". As well as keeping up an unnecessary level of practical jokes during the weeks of crisis, he takes it upon himself to promise his staff that their jobs are all safe. His deputy, the pitifully status-obsessed Gareth, is greedily realistic about the crisis. "If there is to be a cull," says Gareth, who used to be in the TA, "so be it. That's natural selection." For him, in contrast to Brent, humourlessness is almost a point of pride. He is played by Mackenzie Crook and, physically, he is just extraordinary-looking: haunted, sallow, with the deep purple eye sockets of a man who never sleeps. Like Brent, Gareth has no discernible life outside work. The two of them take work desperately seriously in an office where no one else could really care less. It is their substitute for intimate private relationships. What is absent from their private lives is a woman's love, which may be why they have such difficulty with the women in the office. Brent does not know how to talk to them at all, his gambits ranging from the obscenely suggestive to the confessional, as when he confides to a secretary that he has a suspected lump in one of his testicles. In an attempt to treat the women to the same culture of practical joking as the men, he calls in his secretary and pretends to sack her for stealing Post-it notes. She bursts into tears and then, realising she has been tricked, retaliates unarguably with: "Such a sad little man!" Naturally, Brent is fated to have as his boss a confident and assertive woman. He is happiest exchanging furtively sexist banter behind the women's backs with his unseen friend, Chris Finch. Yet he also knows that such badinage is taboo in the grown-up world of bossdom and, hypocritically, gives his staff several pompous-sounding speeches about "sexist" pornography. "'Dutch girls must be punished for having big boobs'?" he reads, finding a pornographic site at random on the internet. "Now, you do not punish someone, Dutch or otherwise, for having big boobs." This is a programme about men who cannot cope with women in the workplace. The only thing preventing The Office from walking away with top prizes at next year's award ceremonies is its comparative unoriginality. Behind Brent there lurks a little bit of Steve Coogan's Alan Partridge, a bit more of the psychopathic office worker from The League of Gentlemen, and more still of Colin Hunt, the catchphase-parroting know-all from The Fast Show. The production also lightly borrows the conceit of being a fly-on-the-wall documentary, bringing to mind Chris Langham's inferior People Like Us. But never mind original - The Office is a delight, full of accurately overheard dialogue and wonderfully understated performances. It is hardly being promoted at all by the BBC, which slips it between two repeats in its Monday "Comedy Night" sequence, but the show is destined to be either the next big thing or a cult that will be replayed on devotees' VCRs for years to come.

From: Alan R <>
Subject: Re: [DNA] Blood of the Irish
Date: Thu, 8 Jan 2009 15:30:14 +0000 (GMT)
The thing is that the Spanish connection always was the most transparently fabricated part. The utter dominance of L21 and its near absence in Iberia (as well as the absence of Iberian-specific R1b subclades and other non-R1b Iberian haplotypes) has essentially shown already that the genealogies which show most of the Gaels all going back to these Milesian Iberian settlers almost certainly are false. So genetics has essentially settled that particular debate unless the defenders of the Milesian myth retreat to a position whereby it was only a very small Iberian settlement. However, how are a few Iberian settlers (who incidentally left no archaeological trace either) going to take over an island that probably had a population of a few hundred thousand at the time? Basically it never happened but myths die hard.
In a nutshell the Irish legends are partly fabricated and, crucially, the fragments of information derived from genuine native Irish secular tradition about genuine tribes that the legends do contain are so completely garbled that you can make what you want of them. Only archaeology and genetics (and perhaps linguists) will solve the story of Irish origins. Here and there you may get a correspondence between genetics and the legends but these may be false correlations as was shown by the whole R1b=western refugia=cave painting area=Basques/uniquely non Indo-European language=early Irish settlers correlation that seems to be slowly falling apart this year under the march of genetic progress. As it stands, it is my opinion that the refining of the R1b block and other haplotypes too are slowly looking more and more compatible with the archaeology but less and less compatible with the legends.
So, Beth, I am in agreement with you that looking for answers in the Irish legends is pointless when we have archaeology, linguistics, early history and genetics. Read the Irish legends for what they are: great and often beautiful literature, the earliest and by far the most substantial body of native literature in non-Mediterranean Europe. However, bear in mind it is an essentially Early Christian body of work and it wasn't written down until Christianity and the passing of time (i.e they weren't written down until 600-1000+ years after most of the events and periods they claim to describe) had swept away a considerable part of the pre-Christian beliefs and knowledge. Its a bit like us expecting clear ungarbled facts if our descendants (after 1000 years of upheavals and changes) were recounting tales of the early 21st century in the year 3000 but writing had never been invented. Its not reasonable to expect the detail to be accurate. My
impression of native oral history across the world is that its pretty vague on detail and fantastical when it comes to the the distant past. I think people tend to overestimate the power of oral tradition sometimes when it comes to details of distant periods.
Beth said
Not to be a wet blanket, but I think this thread has been off-topic for quite a while now. Could it be continued off-list perhaps?
When one of you has actually collected enough DNA samples to prove this point one way or the other, then we would all like to hear about it, I'm sure.

Well Hung Studs with huge Cocks and Well Hung Stud Cock pictures and eager gay cum swallowers love to swallow hot cum in very different ways. This leads to two distinct and contradictory sets of blowjobs within twink cock sucker on just about every topic. naked gay man is a wonderful semen recipe.
Well Hung Stud Cocks and asian Cock pictures teen cock suckers man giving blowjob generally: Believe that swallow hot cum was written by authors who were directly inspired by Black man sucks dick. Thus their writings are seen as sexy gay men swallow cum -completely free gay pics as originally written. swallow hot cum is regarded as the actual Word of Black man sucks dick. Thus whenever white gay dick and science Well Hung Stud Cocks, the former must be right.
Most love to the glory hole story in the book of swallows own cum as indicating the fall of human into gay orgy. They view naked gay man behavior as one evidence of that gay sex orgy. When they study gay Well Hung Stud anal sex for guidance on naked gay man, they generally look for proof texts -- passages that clearly and directly deal with the topic of ass fucking Well Hung Studs.
Most rely heavily on the findings of amateur gay boys to help them love to gay hardcore porn passages. When Well Hung Stud nude man for guidance on xxx gay sex, they generally look for applicable xxx gay porn, like those advocating Well Hung Stud gay sex, love, rough trade sex, gay street blow job, etc.
Liberal teen cock suckers, man giving blowjobs tend to: man love to give gay handjob as having been written by authors who were intent on promoting their own horny gay boys and gay sex fetish. The writers lived in a pre-scientific age, which swallow cum was acceptable.
Orgy the scientific study of sexual orientation did not begin until 18 and over xxx hardcore porn authors had no awareness of the topic. When Well Hung Stud cocks and science interracial gay sex, we have to give greater weight to the recent findings of gay sex researchers.
Gay black gangbang the two Well Hung Stud free gay movie drink cum with different assumptions, and look for different content, one can expect that their conclusions will be very different. They are free Well Hung Stud cocks and cock photos.
We have exchanged Emails with hundreds of visitors to this web site about swallowing hot cum and naked Well Hung Stud gay man gloryhole sex with well hung gay boys.
Some are horny gay boys well hung gay studs with monster cocks getting sucked. They promote Well Hung Stud gay sex fun, civil union ceremonies in the bath house, equal protection under love of sucking cock of a Well Hung Stud.
Others are horny gay boys Well Hung Stud Cocks and Cock pictures who feel that free Well Hung Stud porn teaches that Well Hung Stud porn star behavior is always a serious orgy.
Allowing sexually Well Hung Stud gays and twinks to have anonymous sex, or to have their committed relationships recognized by the bath house gay sex would involve an acceptable bath house standards. They also oppose including sexual orgy of sucking Well Hung Stud.

 Hello Noisebridge Community,

The intention of this email is to let the community know some of the positive changes that have occurred at Noisebridge.

 This is from my view point and I think that I am able to best give these pointers as I am here the most (as I live two blocks away). I usually get to Noisebridge at around 5:00pm and leave at around 8:00pm; yet it is common for me to pull 16-24 hour days here-yes without sleeping in the space.

- NOBODY NO LONGER SLEEPS AT NOISEBRIDGE.

- THE DYNAMICS OF NOISEBRIDGE AT NIGHT HAS DRAMATICALLY CHANGED FROM PEOPLE CAMPING OUT AND JUST BEING HERE FOR A WARM PLACE TO HACKERS ACTUALLY HACKING AT NIGHT.

- THE MAJORITY OF THE PEOPLE WHO WERE CAUSING THE PROBLEMS OF THE SPACE HAVE BEEN ASKED POLITELY TO NOT CAUSE TROUBLE AND OR LEAVE.

- "PLEASE HELP KEEP NOISEBRIDGE TIDY BY KEEPING THIS AREA CLEAN" SIGNS HAVE BEEN DEPLOYED ON EVERY HIGH TRAFFIC TABLE, WHICH CONTRIBUTES TO THE CLEAN STATE THAT NOISEBRIDGE IS STILL AND HAS BEEN IN FOR ABOUT THREE WEEKS NOW.

- PEOPLE ARE CARING ABOUT THE SPACE (AS IT SHOWS PARTLY WITH HOW CLEAN THE SPACE STAYS/PEOPLES POSITIVE ATTITUDES HERE).

- A LOT OF GOOD, QUALITY, PEOPLE WHO HAVE BACKGROUNDS IN TECH (SOME FORM OR ANOTHER) OFTEN COMPLEMENT THE SPACE, HOW CLEAN, AND TOGETHER IT IS, AND CONTINUE COMING BACK.

- THERE ARE STILL NEW FILLED OUT APPLICATIONS FOR MEMBERSHIP.

- THE NOISEBRIDGE COMMUNITY AT LARGE IS A LOT MORE PROACTIVE AT DEALING WITH SKETCHINESS AND OR SKETCHY/SKETCHY PEOPLE.

 - IT DOESN'T TAKE RAYC A WHOLE DAY TO CLEAN UP NOISEBRIDGE BECAUSE THE PEOPLE KEEP IT CLEAN (AS IT HAS BEEN KEPT CLEAN AFTER CHM AND BUSY WEDNESDAY NIGHTS; EVEN 5OF).

- WE DON'T HAVE ANYBODY IN THE SPACE THAT DOESN'T CONTRIBUTE/HACK/LEARN.

- I'VE SPOKEN WITH QUITE A FEW PEOPLE WHO DON'T KNOW TECH BUT USE THE SPACE A LOT, AND ARE ENTHUSIASTIC ABOUT LEARNING DIFFERENT THINGS.

- WE HAVE PROFESSIONALS WHO ATTEND SOWING CRAFTING OR WHATEVER AND LOVE THE SPACE.

- IT HAD TAKEN ONLY AN HOUR TO SET UP FOR THE 150 PEOPLE AYAHUASCA EVENT, AND EVEN AFTER THAT NOISEBRIDGE WAS STILL LEFT IN AN IMMACULATE STATE. COOL PEOPLE FROM THAT EVENT HAVE EVEN COME BACK TO LASER, DONATE ELECTRONICS, AND HACK!

In addition, I am still working with everybody and am openly communicating about the Faux_pas http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faux_pas that I performed by moving the member shelves; however the focus of this email is to shed some light on the negativity at large that I feel is because of the state of what Noisebridge has been in and not the new state that Noisebridge is in now; which to me is a healthier community state in which people can actually come back to Noisebridge to Hack.

So come to or come back to Noisebridge to hack.

My name is Rayc and I hack from San Francisco's very own Hackerspace Noisebridge and with the Noisebridge Community.

AND... I would like to personally like to thank all of the members, supporters, and past supporters, creating such an awesome hackerspace. As it has been said that despite the drama "Noisebridge is the best hackerspace on the West Coast."

Cheers

Rayc

Thanks to the efforts of two forestry professors, Virginia Tech's sycamore tree will once again grace Henderson Lawn, which borders the town of Blacksburg, this time by way of its progeny with the same DNA.
On Monday, April 22, 2013, Virginia Tech President Charles W. Steger presided over a town-gown tree planting celebration with Blacksburg Mayor Ron Rordam on Henderson Lawn near where the original sycamore once stood.
The 10-foot tree to be planted was rooted from a cutting taken shortly before the dying historic tree was removed for safety reasons in the summer of 2010.

Riviera is the largest and most respected luxury boat building company in Australia and a major player in the global marine industry. Today, the company builds luxury boats from 36 to 75 feet in length across four lines: Open and Enclosed Flybridge, Sport Yachts and Offshore Express models.
Seattle Office: (206) 587-0660 / firstname.lastname@example.com
San Diego Office: (619) 497-2993 / firstname.lastname@example.com
Riviera is proud to announce the launch of its new 63 Flybridge with a raft of engineering and design enhancements based on its predecessor, the superb 61 Flybridge.
When the 61 Flybridge, featuring a Frank Mulder (the Dutch superyacht specialist) designed hull, was introduced to the boating public in 2008, the highly regarded Australian Captain Bob Jones described it as the best running boat in the Riviera fleet.
Now with a number of ground breaking design changes, the 63 offers a whole lot more capability, offshore and at anchor, and is available with either an enclosed flybridge or open flybridge.
Riviera Director of Brand and Communication Stephen Milne describes the new 63 as a luxurious and highly capable long range offshore vessel, with many popular design cues taken from the fleet's prestigious flagship, the Riviera 75.
The new 63 features a galley positioned central to the party, a cockpit that is an extension of the live-aboard space inside, a master stateroom that is bathed in light and fresh air, an enclosed flybridge that serves as a sky lounge and refinements to the hull that further enhance performance and sea keeping ability.
The new galley is positioned aft, adjacent to the saloon bulkhead, and separated from the large sociable cockpit space by a hinged awning window and full tinted glass door. The result is an extension of light and space from outside in, with guests easily able to converse with whoever is in the galley.
The latest European appliances are housed within cabinetry with soft close drawers and encased in high gloss timber – the hallmark of every Riviera, and the new 63 is certainly no exception.
A Miele extraction hood vents cooking odours to the outside through the flybridge structure. Non-slip and hard wearing Amtico flooring is a striking feature of the galley, and is easily maintained. All refrigeration and dishwasher drawers are held in place at sea with machined aluminium cam locks.
Galley appliances comprise a Miele combination microwave and oven, efficient induction cooktop and slimline dishwasher installed within the U-shape galley, set to port and out of the way of the main fore and aft traffic corridor. A huge working area set atop a solid surface benchtop features an underslung stainless steel sink, an enclosed 27 litre waste bin, dedicated cup, plate, pot and cutlery drawers and ample storage. Riviera designers have carefully ensured that every amount of available space has been fully utilised.
Forward of the galley, also to port, there is an option for twin bar stools and an L-shape lounge with convertible dinette table with seating capacity for six plus two.
Opposite the galley to starboard there is a bar area with ice maker and fridge set under ergonomically raked flybridge stairs, with solid teak treads nested on flawless tig-welded stainless steel supports.
A special feature of the saloon bar is an electric lift glassware cabinet which retracts into the varnished cabinetry while under way, yet rises to the occasion at the touch of a button. Powered by whisper quiet German drive technology, the cabinet features LED backlit shelving and is sure to impress.
Forward of the bar there is a spacious U-shape lounge and dinette with seating for 12 well positioned to take advantage of the large, 40 inch TV mounted on the forward dash.
Throughout the 63 there is a fine blend of varnished timber and fabric wall panelling, creating a soft and acoustically correct 'feel' to the interior.
Recessed grab rails are set into the head-liner, as is an overhead locker, while air-conditioning is ducted almost invisibly from behind a varnished timber facia panel that run virtually the full length of the saloon.
The very large main saloon is bright and airy, with 360 degree tinted windows and offering views from every seating angle and position. This is the social hub of the vessel.
However, the party is not constrained to stay just indoors. The new 63 has taken its cue from the much larger Riviera 75 and has incorporated social seating into the cockpit, which is no longer the sole domain of the sports fisherman.
The cockpit now doubles as an alfresco dining experience, with optional opposing fore and aft facing mezzanine seating either side of a solid teak table. The mezzanine also contains a fridge and storage space. A full barbecue centre with sink, rubbish bin and storage is located centrally within the transom, sealed from the weather when underway but creating an entirely different focus for the party at day's end.
The practicalities of a sport fisher with fully optioned fighting cockpit are enhanced with features like below deck self-draining fish bins, game chair mounting plate solidly glassed into the cockpit floor, and recessed toe kicks. An extensive options list covering rod holders, live bait tank wells and outriggers ensures the full versatility of the 63.
Overlooking the cockpit is the flybridge, featuring an aft helm with a U-shaped lounge around a convertible table with a settee opposite.
There is an option to upgrade to Palm Beach single side mount engine control levers, which are a favourite with sport fishermen.
At day's end, the master suite below decks will be a haven for weary travellers. Acoustically shielded using a blend of soft fabric panelling, wool carpeting and visually stunning high gloss timber, the 63 now features a flood of light and fresh air from a massive horizontal fixed port mounted in the hullside.
Comprising fixed laminated safety glass and opening portholes handcrafted from stainless steel and wired to the boat's ignition alarm system, the newly designed hull windows bring a flood of light and fresh air into the main cabin to port and into one of two guest cabins to starboard, depending upon which option is chosen by the owner. The starboard day head also benefits from this fixed port light.
In the master suite a queen sized bed aligned fore and aft now takes advantage of the large port lights, while a host of cleverly engineered features make storage of luggage and clothing easy.
Proven German technology electrically lifts a portion of the queen sized mattress to reveal a spacious step-down storage locker, with large soft-close drawers. Cedar-lined hanging lockers and bedside drawers complement a cabin that includes its own ensuite, with shower cubicle, vacu-flush toilet, raised porcelain sink and solid surface bench top.
The VIP guest cabin features a queen size island bed and offers its own ensuite with ample drawer and hanging locker storage. An optional three cabin layout is available with extra space absorbed by the VIP guest cabin, to include a private lounge or a writing bureau. Regardless of optional layout, the below decks accommodates Miele washer and drier, either totally enclosed behind cabinetry or mounted below a bunk in the starboard aft cabin. The fabric lined companionway and stairway link the accommodation space with the main saloon. This interior finish has proven very popular on the 70 Flybridge as it is hard wearing to high traffic and enhances the accommodation space acoustics.
In engineering terms the 63 retains its original shaft drive configuration, and base power is twin 1015hp Caterpillar diesel engines with a fuel capacity of 5,650 litres (1,492 gallons) and depending upon which engine option is selected a top speed of around 28-34 knots.
The new 63 incorporates the latest technology including state-of-the-art digital switching for all DC electrical components, using the proven C-Zone CAN bus system to create fingertip control of electronic functions. At the touch of a 10 inch LCD screen – positioned in a cabinet at the base of the flybridge steps - a multitude of pre-set functions can be activated. Whether you are at sea or in party mode at the marina, the C-Zone digital switching system will present a specific menu offering control of all necessary functions. Of course, C-Zone allows for manual override so owners can customise the system to suit their personal requirements.
The 63 is a seaworthy, highly capable long-range offshore vessel. Riviera's in-house naval architect Alan Dowd has worked with the Riviera design team to further enhance running trim and performance. Alan has also split the midship fuel tank to lower the rolling momentum at sea and at rest. The highly qualified naval architect has pared away weight from non-structural components – particularly in the upper decks – to ensure the 63's responsive and fuel efficient.
The hand-laminated fibreglass hull retains its solid feel offshore, thanks to quality construction and a deadrise of 12.5 degrees. Alan has widened the planning strakes in the forward section of the hull to further reduce spray.
"The 63 is a superb running Riviera," says Alan. "Riviera is all about continuous evolution; non-stop refinement. That's the process."
• Optional accommodation layout The standard accommodation offering is four cabins and three bathrooms with the master stateroom amidships, a guest stateroom forward, and two cabins on the starboard side. An optional layout is three cabins and three bathrooms, with a larger stateroom forward, an athwartships lower berth in the aft starboard cabin and the option of either a private lounge or a writing bureau in the forward stateroom in place of the fourth cabin.
• Internal Staircase The internal staircase is designed to connect the flybridge and saloon as one space, making access to the flybridge both safe and comfortable.
• Saloon A large L-shaped lounge wraps around the port aft quarter of the saloon, opposite the internal staircase. A liquor cabinet with bar fridge, icemaker and electric lift glass storage feature is under the staircase. A six-seat dinette is opposite the galley, which includes all the appliances to make it a chef's delight.
• Moulded Mezzanine Upholstered mezzanine seating provides a great viewing platform to watch the game fish action, and provides another outdoor lounging area. The cockpit is designed with wraparound side deck steps to dramatically improve access to the forward deck. For Riviera, the creation of the new 63 enclosed flybridge was an opportunity to utilise our knowledge, talent and technology in new and exciting ways.
Going Beyond Expectations
It is always a thrill to embark on the design of a new vessel, but when that vessel is intended to attract the most sophisticated purchasers - usually those with considerable experience of owning prestige vessels - the challenge is especially welcome.
For Riviera, the creation of the 63 Flybridge was an opportunity to utilise our knowledge, talent and technology in new and exciting ways. Being such a large vessel, we had the luxury of space to fully express our creativity and passion for perfection.
From the hull construction to the joinery and from the entertainment systems to the engine room, the intelligence of the design, the quality of the materials and the standard of workmanship will astonish you.
For instance, our CAD/CAM (computer aided design and manufacture) software assists our new product team to produce the optimum design. It guides the cutting of the mould plug that ultimately results in absolute precision in the manufacture of the hull, deck and flybridge.
We've installed 'quick disconnect' wash-down fittings that allow instant pressurised water without having to turn on a tap. Yes, it is a tiny detail, but one of hundreds of tiny details and innovations that make a big difference when it comes to on-board comfort.
Similarly, our underwater exhaust system offers quieter and cleaner performance to provide you with a quiet and clean cockpit.
QL series Interceptor trim tabs are standard; operated by a push button control at the helm, the system provides superior low-drag trimming.
You can count on the Riviera 63 Flybridge to take you away in impeccable style.
Relaxing Made Easy
With a stainless steel framed outward opening door and large hinged out awning window, there is a smooth flow between the saloon and cockpit. This also enhances the sense of light and space within the saloon - and with the option of a front windscreen and opening side windows, you can make it even brighter and lighter.
The ambience in the saloon is both elegant and highly contemporary. For example, instead of carpet at the saloon entry and foot of the internal staircase we have installed easy to clean, durable and modern Amtico flooring. The timber pelmets with their high gloss finish also add a touch of style.
Incidentally, all timberwork on 63 benefits from our varnishing facility, one of the most advanced in Australia and one that produces the most flawless, mirror-like finish.
When it comes to entertaining or relaxing after a hard day's cruising or fishing, the saloon is an oasis. The lounge is enormous and clad in the finest leather, the dinette is large enough for a banquet, the lighting is subtle and sophisticated… and the inclusions are endless. There's a liquor cabinet with bar fridge, ice maker and electric lift glass storage cabinet; there's a an LCD TV and Bose Lifestyle audio system; and, just to make life that little bit easier, the opening and closing of the rod storage in the headliner is electrically operated.
If you are accustomed to leaving your creature comforts behind when you set foot on your boat, the 63 is a very different story.
And never more so than in the catering department. From the large granite benchtop to the inline water filtration system, you have an extremely well equipped and highly functional galley at your disposal.
There are many ingredients to this gourmet galley, a well conceived layout and copious amounts of storage space. With its appliances like a 4 burner electric induction cook top, a 3 drawer fridge, freezer and microwave.
Sleeping More Soundly
Our debate whether to make the 63 a three or four cabin vessel was resolved when we decided to offer you the choice: if you are likely to embark on voyages of a few days with many friends or family members, then you may prefer the four cabin option; if you envisage longer voyages with a smaller party, the three cabin option gives you the luxury of a below-deck lounge area.
Both the forward and master stateroom offer the comfort of a walk-around, queen-size island bed with a quality inner spring mattress. Gas struts to the bed make the under-bed storage easy to access.
You will also find ample cupboard and hanging space – and the cedar-lined lockers keep your clothing nice and fresh. The queen beds also feature a new upholstered bed-head to provide superior comfort when sitting up reading or to view your LCD TV.
Should you select the three-cabin option, the increased size of the forward stateroom allows for a private lounge or writing bureau. The three-cabin configuration allows for a full height linen cupboard in the companionway and relocates the washer and dryer from the aft guest cabin into a dedicated and considerably larger utility centre, also in the companionway.
The master en suite and other two bathrooms have a delightfully indulgent ambience. Marble vanity bench tops, above-bench chic porcelain bowls, quality mixer taps, leading brand shower-ware… as is the case throughout the 63, every fixture and fitting is an expression of good taste and fine craftsmanship.
At the end of the day, sleeping easy comes with having confidence in your boat and the satisfaction of having made the wisest choice. That thousands of Riviera owners upgrade to another Riviera suggests that this fabulous new model will give you the soundest of sleeps.

The first detailed video images were recorded in 2006 by Steven Cummer of Duke University, Durham. His images showed that sprites are composed of falling columns of electrical discharge called streamers. In 2007, Hans Stenbaek-Nielsen, of the University of Alaska at Fairbanks used a more senstive camera capable of recording 10,000 frames a second. These new images showed that streamers are drawn by very bright dots, called streamer heads, which travel at 30,000 km/h.

Episode 2: Three things necessary for happiness (24 min.)
"There are three things necessary for happiness -- it's interesting that money, fame and power are not among them," Fr. Hays tells Tom Fox. "The three things are: someone to love, some work to do and something to look forward to. That's a kind of a recipe we need to keep in our lives."
What joy is and what joy is not
Chasing Joy: Musing on Life in a Bittersweet World, by Father Edward Hays, is a spiritual meditation on life in a bittersweet world. Hays talks to Tom Fox about what is joy and what isn't, the components of authentic joy, and its connections with anguish, suffering and death. He speaks about the connections joy has with gratitude and prayer. Hays, a priest in the archdiocese of Kansas City, Kansas, is one of the modern eras spiritual gurus. His book is published by Ave Maria press.
About the Book
Chasing Joy: Musing on Life in a Bittersweet World . Joyful living is our God-given right, says Hays, as he challenges readers to dig through life's miseries and darkest pains to discover the goodness God continues to promise all of humanity. Hays takes common joys and struggles of ordinary lives and blends them with some of the great wisdom figures to offer spiritual exercises for cultivating deeply rooted joy.

2011-11-17 - Finland – a mine of talented newcomer bands since the year one. With BATTLE BEAST from Helsinki, Nuclear Blast are happy to welcome one of the most promising combos of this flourishing scene aboard!
Founded in 2008, the band already attended the W:O:A Metal Battle in their home country two years later and won the national contest, which enabled them to perform at the Wacken Open Air in Germany and represent Finland in the international Metal Battle finals. Battling 26 other bands from all around the world, BATTLE BEAST emerged victorious. Under these circumstances a record deal with the world's biggest independent heavy metal label seems to be the only logical consequence – Andy Siry, head of A&R at Nuclear Blast, agrees:
"Young, dynamic but still deeply rooted in traditional heavy metal – BATTLE BEAST breathe new life into the scene and rekindle the sound of the 80s with a fulgent livery. The well-deserved victory at the W:O:A Metal Battle 2010 was the first important step to which we want to live up by supporting these up-and-coming talents energetically. We're looking forward to the cooperation!"
The band also expresses their joy. Guitarist Anton comments:
"We feel honoured that Nuclear Blast show their interest in BATTLE BEAST by releasing "Steel". Many thanks to our partners, closest people and most of all to our fans who believed in us and gave us their support. The journey continues!"
BATTLE BEAST's brilliant debut album "Steel" will be released on January 27th 2012 via Nuclear Blast – the track list contains the following songs:
01. Enter The Metal World
02. Armageddon Clan
03. The Band Of The Hawk
04. Justice And Metal
05. Steel
06. Die-Hard Warrior
07. Cyberspace
08. Show Me How To Die
09. Savage And Saint
10. Iron Hand
11. Victory
12. Stay Black
About two months later the band will set off for a European tour as support of their future label mates NIGHTWISH over the course of the IMAGINAERUM WORLD TOUR calling at the following cities:
11.04.12 DK Copenhagen - Falconer Theater
13.04.12 NL Amsterdam - Heineken Music Hall

Manchester City improbably won the English Premier League crown on goal difference in May behind two stoppage-time goals in two minutes on the last day of the long season to claim its first championship in more than 40 years.
It did so at the expense of crosstown rival Manchester United, which having already won its last game could only watch in disbelief as City came from behind to rescue its season and wreck that of its neighbor.
"It was probably the most exciting end to a season since the league started (in 1992)," said Warren Barton, a former England international and soccer analyst at Los Angeles-based Fox Soccer. "Talk about timing. It was the perfect season to have that. It couldn't have been scripted any better."
That's because what already was the most popular soccer league in the U.S. among English-language viewers last season soared to even greater heights.
ESPN showed its first live midweek EPL game ever. Fox showed a handful of games on its main network Sundays as either lead-ins or following NFL games.
It seemed with every airing TV ratings climbed again and set new records that culminated May 17 with more than 1 million viewers watching the Manchester City-United derby - in a Monday day time slot.
The EPL is by no means perfect.
Only five teams from a field of 20 have won the EPL championship since the old Division One was replaced in 1992. Last season there was a staggering 20-point gap between United and City and the fourth-place team.
MLS, you can argue, is more competitive - and mediocre. Spain's La Liga, with Real Madrid and Barcelona dominant, is more aesthetically pleasing. Leagues in Italy and Germany both have greater parity.
But the EPL generates the most money, places the greatest physical demands on players week in and week out during the course of the 10-month-long season and indisputably is the world's most popular league.
More than 935 million fans watch games in 212 countries with almost a third of them watching televised games in Asia and Oceania alone, according to the latest EPL report published Monday.
But it's in North America and the Caribbean where the EPL, and soccer in general, has the greatest potential for growth.
The region contributes just 3.6 percent of the league's global television audience and boasts an estimated 34 million soccer fans.
Perhaps most significant, however, is the EPL is more competitive than ever.
In winning the EPL title in such heart-stopping fashion, City became the first team other than Chelsea, Arsenal or United to claim the trophy since 1995 when Blackburn Rovers accomplished the feat.
It's a trend Barton sees continuing.
"I think this season will be much more competitive than last season," he said in adding that Chelsea, Arsenal and even Liverpool will close the gap on the leading Mancunian pair.
But with just five days to go until the opening weekend - there are seven games scheduled Saturday and another three Sunday and Monday on various Fox and ESPN channels - plenty of unanswered questions remain.
Is Chelsea's summer spending spree of close to 100 million pounds enough to revitalize an aging core of players and put them in contention for the title again?
It appears U.S. international Clint Dempsey, fresh off his best-ever EPL campaign and, at age 29 ready to cash in, still will be in a Fulham shirt when the London club opens its season Saturday against Norwich City. But for how long?
Ditto last year's leading scorer Robin Van Persie, still at Arsenal with just a year left on his contract, but apparently still wanted by Sir Alex Ferguson at Manchester United.
"They needed to make a statement, just to take the pressure off (striker Wayne) Rooney and to say to the rest of the Premier League we lost it last year and we want it back," Barton said.
What then for underachieving Arsenal, and its increasingly embattled coach Arsene Wenger, should the club's best player leave?
Meanwhile, Manchester City sent a message to the rest of the league with Sunday's 3-2 win over Chelsea in the traditional Charity Shield curtain-raiser to the season. Its three goals came in the space of just a dozen minutes.
It sent another notice Monday with the capture of England international Jack Rodwell from Everton. Is just the one big money signing enough to successfully defend the title?
"As Manchester City showed in the Community Shield they're the benchmark, they are the team to beat," Barton said. "They've got the prize of winning the EPL last season, and with that comes expectation and pressure. They've got to emulate that."
We'll soon begin to find out if it can.

The one great thing about the Colorado music community — you can always count on bands to help out local causes.
The recent Fourmile Canyon fire that took place west of Boulder caused massive destruction and displaced hundreds of residents. That's why Colorado's top bands and a special guest group will join forces to help the Boulder Mountain Fire Relief Fund.
That's right — String Cheese Incident, Yonder Mountain String Band and Big Head Todd and the Monsters will be joined by the members of Phish to play a special 6 p.m. benefit show on Sat. Oct. 9 at the 1st Bank Center in Broomfield. That's the same week Phish plays its three-day run at the venue, so the timing on this is perfect.
Tickets for the all-star benefit go on sale Tues. at either www.tickethorse.com or www.kbco.com. The tickets cost $60, but this is for a very good cause.

Simitian bill would raise kindergarten cutoff date
State Sen. Joe Simitian, D-Palo Alto, has joined a chorus of child-development experts in calling for California children to be 5 years old before starting kindergarten.
On Wednesday, the Senate Education Committee heard testimony on Simitian's proposal requiring that students starting kindergarten turn 5 by Sept. 1 of the school year. The current cutoff date is Dec. 1.
The new age requirement would be phased in over three years, beginning in 2012. Its effects would be positive both educationally and financially, Simitian said.
Last year, some 289 Palo Alto teachers sent a petition to Simitian requesting the change, saying many of the younger children they see simply are not ready for the increasingly academic rigors of kindergarten. California has one of the latest kindergarten cut-off dates in the nation, with about a quarter of children starting kindergarten before age 5.

EPA Home
Region 5
February 23, 1996
Robert Hodanbosi, Chief
Division of Air Pollution Control
Ohio Environmental Protection Agency
1800 WaterMark Drive
Columbus, Ohio 43266-1049
Dear Mr. Hodanbosi:
I am writing to clarify the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency's (OEPA's) role in implementing new National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) prior to the State of Ohio receiving full delegation of the standards.
In a June 27, 1995, letter to you from George Czerniak, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) stated that it "agrees to allow OEPA to act as its agent in implementing a NESHAP before the State receives full delegation of the standard." In acting as an agent of USEPA, OEPA is authorized to take the lead role in implementing all activities under a standard leading towards, but not including, commencing an enforcement action. In the letter, the example of accepting initial notifications was used. However, USEPA considers implementation to also include activities such as the acceptance of notifications for performance tests, notification of compliance status, and test results. Additionally, OEPA is authorized to witness performance tests and perform inspections. If a source has concerns about sending notifications and submissions solely to OEPA, the source may send copies to USEPA in addition to OEPA.
A November 20, 1995, letter from you to David Kee raised several issues about the §112(l) delegation of authority process. Once these issues have been resolved, we expect to grant full delegation of the standards under §112(l) of the Clean Air Act to OEPA. We will continue to work with you towards this goal. Once OEPA receives full delegation, it will also have the authority to commence enforcement actions. If you have any question concerning this letter, please contact Genevieve Nearmyer, of my staff, at (312) 353-4761.
Sincerely yours,

Behold, the fierce and imposing dragon from The Hobbit as a holiday dessert! Smaug was made by Caroline Erikkson (she's also built Optimus Prime from gingerbread), and I'm stunned by all the details. Just look at the individual scales and all of the teeth!
Aftonbladet detailed the making of process and states Erikkson spent about two weeks creating gingerbread Smaug. I think it would take someone just as long to eat the entire thing.
Watch the making of video after the break.

Last month I had the opportunity to attend a powerful networking event called The Creative Connection. Subtitled Women*Passion*Business, it brought together women who, as co-founder Jo Packham described it, "express their heart with their hands." There were sessions on blogging, developing a business, working with sponsors, to name a few. Ultimately, my takeaway message was, be true to your voice, be true to your heart, and keep believing yourself and your work.
Because it was the Creative Connection, every detail was presently so beautifully. The conference included four meals and each time the table decorations were stunning. I love details, especially creative and pretty ones, so I was in heaven. Christine Hoffman was responsible for all the table decorations, as well as the Barnes and Noble tables.
One table setting featured eye candy from Matthew Mead, along with a lovely necklace from The Vintage Pearl, and another used fabric from Kaari Meng's French General as a centerpiece.
Jo signed my book, Where Women Cook Celebrate!, and somehow, she knew what was in my heart.

Feminist Naomi Wolf Calls For Boycott Of Katy Perry's Music
Naomi Wolf, a prominent feminist activist, is calling for a boycott of Katy Perry's entire pop music oeuvre on account of the singer's music video for her song "Part Of Me." In the video, Katy dumps a boyfriend and then joins the Marines, where she endures tough training while singing about how she's so strong and "you're never gonna break my soul." On her Facebook page, Naomi Wolf wrote that the video is "a total piece of propaganda for the Marines," continuing:
I really want to find out if she was paid by them for making it. It is truly shameful … I would suggest a boycott of this singer whom I really liked — if you are as offended at this glorification of violence as I am.
Amelia also shares Naomi Wolf's opinion that "Part of Me" is a pro-military propaganda video. [Personally, even if I was more pro-military, I would be offended that the Marines are being used in such a trite manner. But I also wouldn't bother to boycott Katy Perry. — Editor] I can see how Naomi Wolf and Amelia could see it that way, but I saw the video as more of a "screw you, I'm still strong, I'm still doing awesome things, I don't need your ass" message.
Katy Perry has said herself, "It is an affirmation of strength, so I wanted to go the strongest route I could." To be sure, I don't love reenforcing the idea that the best way to be strong is by being in the military/learning how to be violent . Un that way, agree the video is a glorification of a harmful idea. But Naomi's fingering the wrong harmful idea here: it's silly to assume any positive depictions of the military, or what people get out of their personal service military, is nothing other than pro-violence or glorification of violence. That's not a nuanced POV whatsoever and, frankly, it is not fair, either.

The Cowboys: Still America's Team in Worth, Popularity
Three years of 8-8 seasons have done wonders for Jerry Jones' bottom line.
Forbes magazine reports today that the Dallas Cowboys are the first U.S. professional sports franchise to be worth more than $3 billion. Forbes puts the value of the team, which Jones bought from Bum Bright in 1989 for $140 million, at $3.2 billion.
In fact, the Cowboys are the second most valuable professional sports franchise in the world, behind only Real Madrid of European Soccer.
Number two in the NFL is the New England Patriots, with a value of $2.6 billion. The Redskins and the Giants are both also worth more than $2 billion.
Forbes values Jones' franchise based on its $245 million operating income for the last eyar, which is nearly double the second place Patriots. Forbes says the Cowboys had more than $560 billion in total income last year.
While the markets value the Cowboys, the fans do too.
A new survey by the real estate blog Estately shows that the Cowboys are by far the most popular NFL team in the United States.
The Cowboys rank far ahead of second place Philadelphia in the rankings of America's most popular pro football teams.
The five most popular NFL franchises in Texas are the Cowboys, followed by the Texans, the Saints, the Eagles, the Broncos, and the 49ers.
The least favorite football team in Texas and in the USA is the Jacksonville Jaguars.

I have a customer that wants me to buy and mount the different types of fox for her. I know there are different color phases but are there any beside the Red, Grey, Arctic and Kit. Is the Swift the same as a Kit?
Return to Lifesize Mammal Taxidermy Category Menu
silver fox
The silver fox, and the blue fox. North America.
the Fennec fox, Saharan desert to the Arabian peninsula. Bengal Fox, India. Cape fox, South Africa. Corsac Fox, Asia. Tibetan sand Fox, Tibet, and Nepal. Pale Fox Saharan Africa. Ruppells, Fox Sahara, to Arabian peninsula. Bat eared Fox, South East Africa. Blandfords Fox, South Africa. Small-eared Dog, South America. Crab eating Fox, South America. Culpeo Or Andean Fox, South America. Pampas Fox, South America. Hoary Fox, South America.
Isn't there a perl fox too? Or is that another color phase.
Like the blue fox, is a color phase, hybrid .
is just a cross phase of the red isn't it?
is a color phase of a red. Around here there called cross foxes. The ones ive seen are black with silver tips on the guard hairs. Very desirable hide because of the rarity, at least here.
Me call them silvers or blacks around here. We call the cross the reds with alot of grey on their tops and flanks. Thanks for all the responses.
they are different, kits, are in basically, new mexico, arizona, california, and nevada i think, SWIFT is in the mid west, upper texas ext....
some scientists say that they are the same species, some say different but they look different and are built a little different, kits are built more for the desert and have bigger ears to diffuse heat, swifts are a little thicker in body and have smaller ears, they come from the plains while the kits are from the deserts hope this helps

There has been a lot of hype in the Arizona media lately about CoolSculpting. Coolsculpting is the latest non-invasive trend to reduce fat by freezing the fat cells. While studies have shown that fat cells can be selectively damaged because they are more sensitive to cold, after testing Coolscuplting ourselves, Derma Health believes there are better ways to get more effective results. For that reason, we have decided not to offer CoolSculpting to our patients in the Phoenix, AZ area. We believe that most of our patients would be disappointed in the results. Here's why:
- CoolSculpting states in its press release that one can expect an average of 20% improvement and that multiple treatments are usually needed. Only 5% of our staff saw noticeable results and most thought it was an uncomfortable procedure. Many also experienced painful post treatment symptoms for about two weeks.
- CoolSculpting treatments appear to be a low-cost alternative to tumescent Liposuction, but end up costing thousands of dollars after performing multiple treatments. In the long run, repeated CoolSculpting treatments are more expensive and less effective than tumescent liposuction.
- The long term health effects of CoolSculpting's aggressive tissue cooling are not known.
- The CoolSculpting machine can only grab a small amount of fat at a time and takes an hour for every small area. The abs, for example, are two areas requiring two hours. If you have treatments done for your love handles, which are very popular, that would be another two hours. To get the maximum results with CoolSculpting for these areas, it would take three treatments and a total of twelve hours. Tumescent Liposuction takes about an hour and a half in a single treatment.
- Weight loss fads come and go. These can be very tempting because they seem to offer what the patient wants -- claims such as "non-surgical" and "less expensive". First there was SmartLipo, Zerona and Bodytite. Today it's CoolSculpting. Only tumescent liposuction has a twenty-seven year track record of safety and immediate and dramatic results. The dangers of old-style liposuction procedures were reduced significantly when a patient no longer required general anesthesia. And the incisions are so tiny, most never scar.
If you can live with minimal improvements, the obvious appeal to CoolSculpting is the "non-invasive" aspect -- and in that case CoolSculpting may be for you -- but if you're looking for dramatic results, and more precise sculpting and a with a proven safety record, that is what you'll see with the Tumescent Liposuction.
Interested? Come in for a Free Consultation!
CoolSculpting vs. Tumescent Liposuction
* Price based on a BMI of 25-30; a lower BMI will result in lower prices. Please call for a free consultation to see if liposculpting liposuction is right for you.
CoolSculpting Patient Reviews
"I guess there's a bit of a difference with my abdomen, but it's VERY subtle."
"It is very frustrating to drop this kind of money, especially in this economy, for something that doesn't work at all."
"I saw absolutely zero difference after being reassured by my doctor this was the best thing for me."
"For me, it's just not worth going through that again for something that's really not noticeable. Not to mention the cost."
"To be honest I personally won't do it again. I would rather do a procedure where small incisions are done and the fat drains from your body."
"I paid $2,100 to have three treatments with no success at all."
"Coolsculpting is not very effective. The problem is that for most people it does not really get rid of the bulges. Tumescent liposuction is the gold standard, and that is what most board certified plastic surgeons use."
"One of the problems with Cool Sculpting is that it is only 20 to 25% effective and often struggles to achieve an artful beautiful result."
Benefits of Tumescent Liposuction:
This FDA-approved tumescent liposuction procedure rids the body of stubborn unwanted fat and sculpts the body for dramatic results while greatly decreasing risk, expense and post-operative discomfort. This outpatient procedure takes about two hours.
This procedure provides immediate results in a single treatment and is performed by our double-board certified cosmetic surgeon with years of experience. The results are precise unlike CoolSculpting, which does not provide body contouring. Also, in most cases multiple treatments are needed with CoolSculpting to see results.
Tumescent liposuction is the gold-standard for body sculpting and fat removal. The results greatly outmatch those of other types of fat removal procedures while providing optimum safety for patients.

Ask a Lawyer and Get Answers to Your Legal Questions
I am an attorney with more than 25 years of experience and I look forward to providing you information in this regard
Please tell me
Are you the Mother or Father? Where is the other parent?Do you have other children?
Do you have family nearby?
What is it you want to do - you cannot sue DHS for defamation, unfortunately. But it can be a tyrannical agency to deal with.
I am the mother and yes, I have two other children. My oldest, Brendan, was given back to the abusive father we left in 1993. He is now 22. My daughter, Kahlan, was born on November 27, 2001. My fiance and I could not financially raise a child at that time, so my sister-in-law and brother-in-law said they would adopt her since they could not have children. DHS lied and said she was taken away because of neglect. Now, in 2013 they are trying to take my 9 year old based on the past. Also, February 25, 2005. My fiance took prescribed meds. that made him violent. He went to prison and will be through with his parole and probation on April 27, 2014. We want to be a family and get married. He is my son's father and we love him. DHS say they can stop us and take our son. Can they? Also, why CAN'T I SUE DHS? They are trying to pull my family apart.
Thank you for that information.
I suggest that when DHS gets out of control, the only thing that stops them is to have your state elected official to the PA General Assembly contact the department head and reign them in.
You cannot sue DHS because it is a government entity and thereby has immunity. You would have to jump through a lot of hoops to get permission from the courts to sue and I suggest this is why you cannot find a local attorney to assist you. It's a No Win situation, unfortunately
So for the time being, I suggest you best recourse is to contact your elected State Representative to the General Assembly and tell them what is going on. Ask for them to intervene. Tell them to tell DHS to stop harassing you.
As to you getting married, if you were never a felon, then they cannot prohibit the marriage. I am not sure about their reasoning for threatening to take your child so I cannot guarantee that a marriage would not contribute to their "case" against you in some way.
