Rough Draft 1
By Bob Hoffman
Political Gateway - April 1st, 2009 - This article's mission is to prepare you for possible nightmare debt collection problems in the next decade or two. It is important for you to read this whether you are having problems now or not.
What kind of debt am I talking about?
Your debt, for the purposes of this article, is mainly centered around car loans, mortgages, and unsecured credit. These are the items most likely to be involved in future issues for your family. This also concerns people who are not late and actually paid off debt or sold a house.
Debt process
2 things happen, you pay something off or you go into default. Paying off a debt is good, but it is not always recorded properly and can still go into a debt pool. A defaulted debt will go to a 'normal' collections process. Either way, eventually this non paid or mistakenly not recorded debt will end up in a debt pool.
Debt Pool
It is kind of like the internet, a big vast mysterious cloud full of old debt. Your old debts languish here until someone decides to buy them and attempt to collect the money owed.
Organized Criminal debt collectors
It is the debt pool that is the target of this article and the people who dwell there. These people may or may not be 'mafia' but you will find that they are very organized, attempt criminal acts in collections, and thus are 'organized criminals.'
Even bankrupted debt goes into that pool. On purpose or accident, who is to say, but you will get calls on it 10 to 20 years later. Especially if a judgment was ordered by the courts.
The 'Process' of your demise
The debt thrown into the debt pool is sketchy at best. Usually it is a photocopy of the original contract and some contact information. Usually the data will never include your payment history, any modifications, or even payoffs. Once it gets in the pool an attempt will be made to collect the debt sometime in the future.
This debt is never ending. It could be 15 to 20 years later and you will get a call from these 'guys' looking for the cash. Few of us keep records of payoffs or deals made with debtors for more than a year or so, and they use this against you as you can no longer prove you paid it or had a deal.
During this time, many lenders of secured and non secured debt are going bankrupt, selling your accounts to someone else, or being bought out by another company. In all that mess, your payoff will go missing, your written deal to pay less or be forgiven will disappear, and even your payment history will go missing.
All those messed up boxes and files get thrown into the debt pool. When they come a calling, do you have proof of all that happened to stop them from coming after you?
May sound easy
It may sound easy to have it all cleared up. A few phone calls, a fax or two of info. Or maybe you went bankrupt and can just send them the data? You could not be more wrong.
The best protection is to get everything in writing and keep copies of everything. Get a storage bin or a safety deposit box, or even store at a relatives. Keep at least two sets of EVERYTHING that you pay off or default on and any communications or payments.
In come the 'alleged' criminal debt collectors
Your first contact with them may be many years from now, but it will come. It will be a phone call or a letter. Once they contact you they will come after you fully armed with procedures to financially ruin you if need be to get the money. Even money you no longer owe.
To illustrate, look up on a search engine the term "Daniel Cadle" (in quotes) or "Jan Schlichtmann" with it. The Cadle company and its thousands of front companies are all over America going after people like you and me. You will find information that is quite scary. Texas has an arrest warrant out for Cadle if he steps into the state. These people are bad. Just mention them to a bankruptcy lawyer and you will see fear cross their face.
This is just one of many companies that you cannot stop. Even if you fight them in court and win they will just bring another front company up and come after you again. Win a judgment against them? Sure, but the company you have the judgment in has no assets. Their lawyers will bury you fast and furious and it will cost you a fortune to stop them.
They will file a judgment against you. I suggest going to that courtroom with a lawyer. If there already is a judgment or if they win one in your case, you are now in real trouble. They will come after your wages, cars, bank accounts, any and all assets. You can bet your life on it. Bankruptcy? Unless you are going chapter 7 and have nothing in assets, you are gonna find it near impossible to stop them.
Remember that movie with John Travolta, 'A Civil Action'? His character Schlichtmann went bankrupt in the end. Years later, he received a payout from some later work he did on that same issue the movie was about. Cadle came after him. A ten year battle ensued. Word has it he got help from some Harvard lawyers. For ten years these lawyers battled this company. Eventually they went behind Cadle and bought the debt from the debt pool. Then Cadle still came after them.
Do you think you have a chance against them? This company is one of many, maybe all connected, that will do some bad things to get your debt. The old victims of Cadle website had horrible stories from people who were harassed and intimidated, all against the law, to get debt. In many cases debt that was not owed.
I do not owe anyone anything
You wish. You never know if something is not recorded properly or the final payment is registered correctly. An old debt you paid off from a collection agency may still be active. In ten years you will get a call or letter asking for the whole amount of the original loan.
Pay attention
Not paying attention to your mail can cause you to have some debt collectors with a court order at your door, with a tow truck, to take your cars for an old credit card debt from 15 years ago, that you paid off!
You can only protect yourself by keeping complete records and backups. Bankruptcy records too. Keep them all for as long as you live.
Why now?
Why bring this up now? This stuff has been going on for a while and the state attorney's do little to stop it. Each is a nightmare, but it is a personal nightmare. Well, right now about 10 million people have issues with home mortgages. Millions laid off. It is getting bad for huge amounts of people right now.
This means, the future for these 'alleged' criminal debt collectors (Cadle is just one) is very bright. You can expect some job openings as they have about 20 million people's records to go through for the next few decades. And just like Arnold's character the 'Terminator' they will not stop until they get you. Ever. And with so many people in trouble, it looks to be a good decade or two for them.
Some thoughts
Always open mail. You will only receive one piece of paper that needs to be signed, that is usually the summons to go to court for the judgment against you. After that, they only have to send you a copy of any legal attempts they are doing (like going after wages or bank accounts or other assets).
A common thread seems to be a huge increase in letters from them that are junk, just 'pay us' stuff. Then slipped in that blizzard will be a letter saying you have 10 days to come before the judge or they can garnish your bank accounts. If you do not see that one letter, then you will first find out when your bank does a courtesy call to tell you 12,000 has been garnished. Good luck with that.
Always open the mail. If you see a collection company, look them up online right away. Or if you get a phone call from one, look them up online. The search results will usually be very helpful in finding out whether the collector is a regular and legit company. If you see a lot of bad stuff about the company, and lots of victims, you should probably think about a lawyer right away.
If you cannot go bankrupt to stop them (assuming they are really coming after you), then you should realize your assets may be taken from you. No bank account is safe. It would be wise to use a spouse's accounts and make sure your name is not on them. This includes other assets too. They will not go away. If you have money, you can decide to fight them or pay them (even if you do not really owe anything). However, you will never see any money from them at court and agreeing to pay them usually gets you in more trouble as they will start going crazy with interest.
The judgment is the key, prevent that from happening and all they can do is illegal things to come after you. This is the best thing you can do. Most assets will be safe then, but you will still deal with intimidation and nightmare collections for a long time.
Write your state attorney general as soon as you hear from these people and they break any laws, or if they are going after debt you do not owe. Immediately. This will not really help, but if enough do it, it can cause the State Attorney to get off his or her fat ass and actually do something to help consumers from these scumbags. My guess is the SA will do nothing though.
Pray you never get a call or letter from Cadle. That is an omen of doom for you. You can win every battle, but you will lose the war unless you can afford 10s of thousands of dollars for litigation.

Yigal Azrouel Fall 2010 Runway Beauty from Bobbi Brown
2010 Fall New York Fashion Week: Yigal Azrouel
Yigal Azrouel is noted for his cool-meets-sexy clothes, so it's no wonder that the makeup look was all about showing skin. Lead artist Wendy Rowe, working with Bobbi Brown cosmetics, focused on creating a slightly bronzed complexion and overall natural look.
Strong brows, softly smudged eyeliner, and cream shadow provided a neutral eye; a pop of lip color came courtesy of Bobbi Brown Hot Cocoa and Salmon lip colors. Simple? Maybe. Sexy? Definitely.

Breast Reconstruction
With the enhanced techniques in early detection of breast cancer throughout the United States, many women find that they are candidates for lumpectomy and radiation instead of mastectomy. Nevertheless, some women still find that their breast cancer may require mastectomy, as determined by their oncologist and surgeon. For those women, breast reconstruction surgery may be an option both in the immediate setting at the time of mastectomy, or subsequently several months later. Breast reconstruction improves many women's quality of life by restoring a sense of balance and symmetry, allowing a woman to shed her need for an external prosthesis, and heightening both self-esteem and confidence.
Breast Implants
Today there are more breast implant options than ever before. Implants can be textured or smooth, round, or anatomic, saline filled or silicone gel filled, and are available in all sizes, shapes, and degrees of projection to accommodate each woman's unique anatomy, needs, and desires for enhancement. Anatomic or shaped implants have a textured surface to help achieve better stability within the breast to avoid unwanted shifting or movement. This type of implant might be useful in breast reconstruction, or for the woman who has a greater need for shape in her own breast. A smooth round implant is the most popular choice for many women since it will move slightly with a woman's breast, more accurately resembling the natural breast.

Breast Reconstruction Techniques
Breast reconstruction surgery is usually performed in stages and can span across a period of several months. There are two categories of reconstruction: implant-based reconstruction and reconstruction using the patient's own tissue. There are many factors and variables to consider in deciding whether to use one's own tissue to reconstruct breasts or utilize breast implants.

Completely gorgeous!! You always find the most amazingly beautiful things to share.
Thanks for such a lovely comment, Bayou Contessa!
This is so gorgeous. What an artistic use of AMAZING wallpaper. I find your blog so inspirational!
I love the wallpaper panels!
Melissa, I'm impressed! And in 1992, no less. Sounds like it turned out beautifully–you wouldn't happen to have any photos, would you?
Jelenie–thanks so much 🙂
A very nice touch!
love your blog hon, lots of inspiration here! 🙂
I have done this before, actually, and it turned out beautifully. It was in 1992 so it was quite some time ago, but I actually cut out parts of a wallpaper border and used it to replicate the look of something handpainted. It took forever, that is probably why I haven't done it again. But, with the right paper and right room, it can look fabulous!
Happy day,
Oh, a stair runner–Elegant, what an inspired idea. And perhaps my images do not do the actual statement wall justice–had they been a little less grainy, you may be swayed by the idea . . . Either way, I love the creative thinking involved.
I'd like to see it as a stair runner… can't quiet get the hang of the statement wall… it seems like a tattoo to me, difficult to pull off. Ah well, that's me, a bit of an old fuddy-duddy. Thanks for making me think.
Kijsa, thanks for the invitation–I'd love to stop by and wish your sister a Happy Birthday.
what I great idea!
Love this!!
You are invited to a SURPRISE BLOGGY BIRTHDAY PARTY for kari this Wednesday, Feb 20.
She is turning 40!!!
I would love for you to stop by the party on Wednesday to surprise (hopefully!) the birthday girl, enjoy a bite of cake, sprinkle a little of your magic birthday dust, and check out the party favor giveaway!
i love this! it's somewhere in between those annoying decals and a whole room of wallpaper – a great option, and a lovely accent. thanks for sharing!
Brilliant idea… i may have to appropriate it. I have a place in two rooms where the fireplaces used to be…
Carolina–I keep re-reading this issue and finding new and wonderful ideas each time.
wow I really love this!
The wallpaper is stunning! What a lovely idea to use it as a panel, rather than covering the whole wall.
I was just reading this article over the weekend…so pretty.

More than half the members of the Texas House have signed on as co-authors of a measure directing universities to allow concealed handguns. The Senate passed a similar bill in 2009 and is expected to do so again. Republican Gov. Rick Perry, who sometimes packs a pistol when he jogs, has said he's in favor of the idea.Packs a pistol when he jogs--and shot a coyote that was threatening his dog a while back. I think this is generally a good idea. We could fix the mental health system instead, but that would fix way too many other problems as well, so that isn't allowed.

Looks Like Texas Is About To Allow Concealed Carry On Campus

You should have heard the squealy-media when Perry shot the coyote. You'd have thought he shot an opponent in the general election.
Things are pretty good here in the Lonestar State compared to most. Our decade and a half experience with CHL has led to an eye-opening among the general population that "blood in the streets scenarios" don't happen except in the imaginations and fantasies of hoplophobes.
I think many have finally figured out that putting up gun-free-zone signs doesn't keep criminals away. The Colton Tooley incident on the UT campus in September opened a lot of eyes.

He's directed arts festivals in Sydney, Adelaide and Melbourne.
Moving on to yet another city, another festival would have been a bit like groundhog day, even for someone with the energy levels and enthusiasm of
So the former lawyer and current Melbourne Festival director has opted to stay in the same town and take on one of the city's plum cultural jobs, that of artistic director of the Melbourne Theatre Company.
Sheehy was announced yesterday as successor to Simon Phillips, whose 11 years as MTC boss will end in December.
He is the first non-theatre director to snare the role, reflecting a loosening of the informal rule that artistic directors have to come from the ranks of theatre directors.
Over the past year a designer, Ralph Myers, has taken the artistic reins at Sydney's Belvoir theatre, and another former festival curator, Lyndon Terracini, has become Opera Australia's new artistic chief.
Sheehy learned the cultural industry ropes at the Sydney Theatre Company, where he was mentored by the late Richard Wherrett and worked as artistic associate, literary manager and deputy general manager for a decade from 1985.
He has since spent 15 years directing arts festivals. He described the theatre yesterday as his "artistic home", and said he hoped to use the international contacts he had fostered during his festival years to raise the MTC's profile abroad, through touring and collaborations.
Sheehy also plans to focus on developing new work, and sees the fact that he won't be directing any of the MTC's plays as a plus.
"My focus 24/7 can be on the entire company and facilitating the art,'' he said.
"There won't be a period in the year when I'm separated out doing my own play.''
Sheehy initially ruled himself out of the job because at the time it was first up for grabs he had just signed up to do a fourth and final Melbourne Festival in 2012.
MTC chairman Derek Young pursued him. Following interviews with seven contenders, including Sheehy, the board decided that staggering the starting date for Sheehy's initial three-year appointment would be worth the effort. Sheehy will begin part-time at the MTC next year, planning its 2013 season while finishing his 2012 festival, and begin full-time at the MTC on November 1, 2012.
A yet-to-be-appointed "directorate" will program the MTC's 2012 season.
Six months ago, when announcing the search for a new artistic director, Young said it was quite likely the board would go for generational change. Like Phillips, however, Sheehy is in his 50s.
Young said yesterday that experience – both artistic and managing a company the size of the MTC – eventually won out.

Last game you finished, tell us about it
View Single Post
August 21st, 2011, 12:54
Last night I finished up my first play-through of Call of Pripyat with the Complete mod installed. It's quite possibly the most accessibly coherent and well polished of all the STALKER games to date. The fallout style ending slider was also very unexpected, as was the amount of choices of impact there were story wise.
One of the improvements I felt was the rewards for artifact hunting, which I didn't get into with as much enthusiasm in the previous games. As a result, I completed all of the optional science based missions in Jupiter, which is one of the three main quest hubs in the game.
I felt plot wise that the game started to wind down by the time you get to Pripyat itself, which wasn't as compellingly portrayed as it was SoC and felt somewhat empty in contrast to the previous two areas.
Overall I still probably lean towards Shadows of Chernobyl for its sheer atmosphere and plot. However, Call of Pripyat comes in a close second for me and provided a radiated bevy of post-apocalyptic themed exploration.

Istanbul Design Week
Istanbul Design Week is more than just a showcase for designers, it is a creativity platform presenting reference points for designers to draw their path. Istanbul Design Week is a connection point for creative ideas from different disciplines of design.
What differentiates Istanbul Design Week from similar design events is firstly it's venue, the Old Galata Bridge. The century old bridge is one of Istanbul's most important landmarks and used as the main exhibition area of Istanbul Design Week. Promising an extraordinary experience, the Old Galata Bridge has a total exhibit area of 10,000 squaremeters, a perfectly central location and a very unique atmosphere.
Istanbul Design Week, takes place 2010 Istanbul European Capital of Culture project under the name of Design 2010. With its theme of 'meeting', Design 2010, will make Istanbul a meeting point for Turkish designers and the international design world, by events, exhibits, panels, conferences and competitions all over the city.
|Old Galata Bridge that has been constructed by Machinebau Ausburg Nürnberg on 1912 continued to connect two sides of Haliç for 80 years as one of the symbolic structures of Istanbul. This historical bridge that could not longer be used after the fire in 1992 has returned back to life with Istanbul Design Week organized in year 2005. by protecting its historical texture old Galata Bridge had been converted into an activity area and it plays an important role in highlighting the cultural heritage of the city as well as Turkish designs. Also the bridge provides a very mystical atmosphere for participants and visitors. Also as the bridge is made up of different parts and due to its architectural structure it can create flexible areas, which is a very important aspect. The most important advantage of the bridge is that it creates a connection point between "design" and "sea". As "Water" is used as a design element or an exhibition unit both the participants and visitors are invited to have a unique experience.

She gained rave reviews for her performance as a troubled shop assistant in independent film The Good Girl and recently finished filming Bruce Almighty, with Jim Carrey.
In recent interviews, Kudrow has been talking about how the sitcom's filming schedule, with its regular hours and four-day week, is ideal for a young mother.
Although it's not likely to make money on the agreement, NBC readily agreed to pay Warner Bros. millions more because it could not afford to let go of the top-rated comedy that brings viewers and advertisers to the rest of its Thursday night line-up.
Friends is US television's most-watched sitcom and draws the young adult viewers most prized by advertisers.
The deal also points to the emerging two-tiered nature of network television, in which certain hit shows generate large licence fees, and the networks try to make up that cost by programming a greater number of "reality" shows, such as Fear Factor, Amazing Race and Survivor, which are far cheaper to produce.
It is unlikely that the record sum Friends commands will drive up the price for the renewal of other hits. Networks tend to own most of their hit shows, while Friends is produced by Warner Bros.
Under the tentative agreement, the network will shell out an estimated $10 million in licence fees per episode, an increase from the current $7 million and a new record for a comedy, an insider said. Cast members, who already earn $1 million an episode, are not expected to receive raises.
The return of Friends means that CBS, ABC and Fox will have to wait at least another year before they can start to give NBC real competition on Thursdays.
Despite the success in bringing back Friends, NBC and Warner Bros. are not out of the money woods yet. Renegotiations for the Emmy-winning The West Wing is expected to be another costly deal for both.

This is why we never mention "Free Software." We sell solutions that
include installation, support, hardware and software. We tell them the
software is Open Source. Occasionally a customer will ask, "So can't I
get the software for free?" At this point, my partner cringes because
he knows what is coming. I say "Sure. But the software is never the
expensive part. I am."

This is the one big advantage to outsource vs. in house. We sell
support. However, as a small business, the fact that I can point to
other companies that can support the solution actually helps. This does
not happen in a small 3rd part app.

We sell a managed WiFi network that includes APs, Networking, and a
Firewall. All of it is fully monitored. If a customer asks us to use
other hardware we will, but with the warning that our real time
monitoring system may not work with there expensive garbage. On that
note, any one need a Pix or a ZyXel?
We also sell a secure Desktop (Ubuntu) and a network based DVR
(ZoneMinder) along the same lines. There is often a little reluctance
at the beginning. I have put in many free trials. I have not yet taken
one out!
As to the mail, web filter on the firewall argument I respond with this.
Do you really want your spam filtering slowing down your web site?
For that mater, do you want to open a virus infected e-mail on anything
with a security purpose? Or would you rather only one thing risk infection?

The Year of the Snake
By HUNTER BISHOP
Tribune-Herald staff writer
February marks the start of the Year of the Snake on the Chinese calendar, and the traditional celebration of the Chinese New Year nearly slithered away from downtown Hilo.
However, supporters are coming together to put funding concerns aside and hold the 11th annual Chinese New Year Festival on a "zero budget" if they have to, said Alice Moon, director of the Hilo Downtown Improvement Association.
"It's on," said Moon, who notified DIA members last week that the 10-year-old event was being canceled. A miserable holiday shopping season and dwindling grant funds for cultural activities spelled its doom, she said. But several DIA members refused to accept the festival's demise, and you could say it's being brought back by popular demand.
"We may not have everything we've had in the past," Moon said. "It's going to be a smaller event." But it's on. "We really had to make this happen."
The event will be held from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. Feb. 9, beginning at Mooheau Park downtown. The festival will include performances by Kobudo Taiko and the Hawaii County Band, and dozens of artists, food vendors and more.
Many "vendors, tried and true," count on participating in the festival each year and had already been preparing, Moon said. Organizations like Hui Okinawa, "every year they look forward to it. Over the weekend, all these things came together."
Moon said the DIA's difficulty developing funding sources this year was the reason for canceling the event and she was reluctant to tap the struggling downtown merchants for more support. Past festivals, which have included pageants, dinners and paid musicians from Honolulu, have had costs ranging from $5,000 to $40,000.
County Product Enrichment Grants, supported by funds from the Hawaii Tourism Authority, formerly provided the DIA funds for the festival, Moon said, but the grants have been opened up to commercial businesses and her nonprofit cannot compete. Last year, the DIA applied for but did not receive funding. This year, it did not apply.
"There has been less and less money over the past four years," she said.
"I don't know about (hiring) lion dancers this year," she said. There's only one lion dance troupe on the island, Big Island Shaolin Arts in Waikoloa, and they represent a considerable investment in the festival. The troupe is also already committed to other events on the Lunar New Year's Eve, when the DIA has scheduled its event.
"They had to make other arrangements," Moon said.
"The Christmas season was brutal downtown," she said. "Many businesses are hanging on a thread," and Koehnen's Interiors, always a strong supporter of DIA events, closed its doors in December. "Right now we're at the tail of the dragon, and people are maybe feeling that."
Attendance at past festivals has reached 10,000-12,000, she said.
Well-known design artist Nelson Makua, who has created the T-shirts and posters for all of the festivals, was not surprised by the announcement that the festival was closing.
"I understood it. I wasn't that shocked." But he was "really happy" upon hearing that it's going to be held after all, even if not as big as in year's past. "Better than being off," he said. "I just felt it gave people a breather after Christmas and kicks off the whole year in Hilo."
Next year will be the Year of the Horse, then the Chinese calendar cycles back to the Year of the Ram again, when the festival began, and Makua hopes it lasts long enough to complete the full calendar cycle, at least.
Dennis Taniguchi, director of the East Hawaii Cultural Center, was "very disappointed" to learn the festival was being canceled. "It's a very important holiday, and there's absolutely nothing else on the island. It doesn't make sense."
EHCC sponsored live performances in Kalakaua Park and helped support local artists and musicians and the downtown community, but those fell by the wayside due to lack of the same funding that nearly did in this year's Chinese New Year celebration. He wonders why the HTA, which this year has been touting high numbers of visitors to Hawaii, has been cutting back grant funding for local cultural events like Chinese New Year celebrations.
"This year we'll have a money-less festival," Taniguchi said. "It's just a constant struggle to bring people into downtown Hilo."
Moon called the event the "largest and only free Chinese cultural event focused on this auspicious holiday. We really don't see much of the Chinese culture presented this way."
"I think it would be a big loss to the community," said Lily Chow, widow of the late Robert "Steamy" Chow. The Chows were early supporters of the festival. "It was his Uncle Hiram (former State Sen. Hiram Chow, owner of the Kress Building) who brought it to Hilo," she said. "Steamy managed the Kress Building for him."
"We support the community with our Chinese culture," Chow said. "I would like to see it perpetuated, but over the years, it seems the culture is dwindling away. The public and the county should support it. It should be a big part of the culture of the community."
And now it will for another year, Moon said, with the "help of a small group of people gathering together to honor our ancestors and our families."

There is something schizophrenic about our feelings for Tiger Woods.
At a time when fellow golfer Ian Poulter predicts Woods won't finish in the top five at the Masters and a European travel agency offers to refund all expenses if he does win, we still find several betting sites listing the 14-time major winner, who has not won a tournament in over a year, as either first or second choice.

Our eyes tell us that this is not the same Woods who dominated the game and struck fear into the hearts of his opponents.
But our minds tell us that he is always one round away from coming back and wreaking vengeance on all those who doubted him.
If you are going to shoot the king, you better kill the king.
When asked about Poulter's assessment that his game wasn't in title-winning shape, Woods smiled and said "Poulter's always right, isn't he?"
Even Poulter said "you can never rule him out" and that if the putts start dropping "then you will see the Tiger of old come out."
In an ESPN interview yesterday, Woods said the goal is still winning and he believes that he'll win each time he tees it up.
That used to be good enough for most of us. Now?
So, what are you expecting from Woods this week?

Chulalongkorn, Thailand (SPX) Jun 15, 2007
Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFC) have attracted major interest from research and development communities as an alternative source of power, with commercial trials already under way. In these fuel cells electricity is generated via electro-chemical reactions using hydrogen based gas and oxygen as a fuel and oxidant, respectively.
Sealing these units is a critical technical issue that needs further work before they can be put into widespread commercial use. In particular the system chosen must exhibit good gas tightness, adhesion with adjoining components (electrolyte and connector), chemical compatibility, matching coefficient of thermal expansion and electrical insulation.
Recent work from researchers, Apichart Jinnapat, Sirithan Jiamsirilert and Sumittra Charojrochkul from Chulalongkorn University and Thailand's National Metals and Materials Technology Center, and published under AZojomo (OARS), looked at ceramic adhesives and ceramic-glass composites. These materials were examined in terms of their chemical and thermal compatibilities with respect to potential use in SOFCs.
The researchers found that all materials tested displayed good compatibility with the yttria-stabilised zirconia (YSZ) electrolyte and 430 stainless steel interconnector system. In general glass-ceramic composite materials sealed better than ceramic adhesives.
Their sealing properties were also found to be superior after being subjected to thermal cycling. The most promising sealing material was a 80/20 Pyrex glass/YSZ composite material which recorded a leakage rate as low as 2.41 x 10 -4 cm 3/min cm.

Chinese officials have revealed their latest weapon against excessive energy use -- encouraging office workers to ditch business suits in favour of T-shirts, state media reported Thursday. Several leaders of the State Council, China's cabinet, have called on office workers to dress in light, casual clothing instead of the typical suit so that air conditioners can be turned down, the English-language China Daily said.

Yakuza (series)
Yakuza (龍が如く Ryū ga Gotoku, lit. "Like a Dragon") is an action-adventur video gemme franchise creatit bi Amusement Vision an awned an published bi Sega.
The series haes sauld at least 3.2 million copies as of Mairch 2009.[1] Strang sales o the gemmes in its oreeginal Japanese market haes led tae the franchise's expansion tae other mediums, includin film adaptations.
Table o contents
Games[eedit | eedit soorce]
The Yakuza series includes fower main gemmes; the gemmes wur released in chronological order, wi each new instalment follaein the events o the previous title. There are several spin-aff titles an aw. Ane relates Kazuma Kiryu's supposed ancestor, historic figure Miyamoto Musashi (a.k.a. Kazumanosuke Kiryu) frae the 16t an 17t centuries; anither follaes a zombie invasion o Kamurocho, the primary settin for the series; on the PSP, anither series is aboot a teenage street fechter frae Kamurocho that ends up in a fecht whaur he kills a Tojo Clan member.
On 31 August 2011, twa new Yakuza gemmes wur annooncit: Yakuza 5 (Ryū ga Gotoku 5) an a sequel tae the PSP game, Kurohyō 2.[2]
Main series[eedit | eedit soorce]
Spin-affs[eedit | eedit soorce]
The success o the main Yakuza series haes spurred the creation o a spin-off, Ryū ga Gotoku Kenzan!, which wis released in Japan an Asie on 6 Mairch 2008.[3]
Umwhile kent unner the wirkin title "Project K", Yakuza: Black Panther is a spin-aff on PlayStation Portable that wis released in Japan on 22 September 2010.[4]
Of the End involves a zombie ootbreak in Kamurocho. This spin-aff entry is being localisit in the Wast as Yakuza: Dead Souls, an is released in North Americae on 13 Mairch 2012.
Production[eedit | eedit soorce]
Legacy[eedit | eedit soorce]
The franchise's mixed gameplay is inheritit frae past Sega gemmes that series producer Toshihiro Nagoshi wirked on includin, the Shenmue series, the Virtua Fighter series, the Dynamite Deka series (ダイナマイト刑事 a.k.a. Dynamite Cop), the SpikeOut series an the Jet Set Radio series. Explicit tribute is paid tae these gemmes through product placement o Virtua Fighter 4, Virtua Fighter 5, SpikeOut an Dynamite Deka EX arcade cabinets in Yakuza Club Sega gemme centers (the latters wur first introducit in Shenmue) an cameo appearances (like Goji Rokkaku from Jet Grind Radio).
The Yakuza gameplay resembles the ane introducit in Shenmue in mony respects includin Event Mode, Adventure Mode, Battle Mode, minigames an QTE.
Mercatin[eedit | eedit soorce]
The series is kent for its expandin video gemme tie-in an product placement mercatin policy. Such strategy allous tae support the gemme's costly production an in the same gives a realistic aspect tae the environments which are based on real locations in Tokyo, Osaka an Naha.
Cast[eedit | eedit soorce]
The gemme's oreeginal voice actors are Japanese celebrities which can be seiyū, sangsters, tarento, film or TV series actors, radio or televeesion celebrities. Cabaret girls an alike characters hae featured models, gravure idols an adult actresses as voice actresses an likenesses. Syne the 2008 spin-aff, the gemme series' main characters hae their face modeled in 3D efter their voice actors. As in the Virtua Fighter series, Wastren main an minor characters daena speak (an course) in Japanese but rather in Inglis.
The PlayStation 3 installments' realistic character design is based on Cyberware 3D scanner, Softimage XSI 6.5 3D models[5] and Sega's Magical V-Engine.
Wastren localization chynges[eedit | eedit soorce]
When the series wis internaitionalizit an localizit tae fit the wastren mercat several chynges occurred. These include chyngin the title o the gemme (Like a Dragon 龍が如く, ryū ga gotoku became Yakuza) an the names o several characters (Shintaro Kazama is Shintaro Fuma, Akira Nishikiyama is Akira Nishiki, Futoshi Shimano is Futo Shimano, Sai no Hanaya is Kage).
Yakuza 4 adjustit several of these localisation changes, follaein creeticism o the previous gemmes, an in pairticular the content excisit frae the Wastren release o Yakuza 3. Producer Noguchi notit that there wis an attempt tae "bring a mair complete localization that wis mair faithful to the source material". This included reversin several name chynges. In addition, some conventions wur chyngit; in previous Wastren localisations, protagonist Kazuma Kiryu haed been referred tae primarily bi his first name. In Yakuza 4, he is referred tae primarily bi his surname, Kiryu, which mair closely reflects the oreeginal dialogue.[6]
Music[eedit | eedit soorce]
The three Yakuza oreeginal soondtrack albums are composed bi Hidenori Shoji, Hideki Sakamoto et alii an are published bi Wave Master. Additional soondtrack featurs sangs frae Japanese airtists Crazy Ken Band, Zeebra, Ketsumeishi an Eikichi Yazawa.

ISIS Condo Project in WPB Undergoes Name Change
A planned condo in our area that shared its name with a group of Islamic extremists is getting a new identity.
ISIS Downtown is a major development being built in West Palm Beach.
ISIS is also one of the names for the al-Qaida splinter group behind the beheading of the American journalist James Foley.
The Palm Beach Post reports the new building is now being called 3 Thirty Three Downtown.
The developers haven't commented on the change. Tim Harris, the past president of the Realtor Association of the Palm Beaches, said the prior name had become ``scarily negative.''

A few solutions that a computer tech gave me to free up hard drive is to make
sure that the temporary Internet files are emptied. I thought I had done it
every time, but a few remained each time till I found over 20,000 files that
had not been deleted. What I had to do was first empty the files in the
conventional manner, then go back and click on the files and go to the sub
files. In my personal computer there was about 30 sub files. I had to click
on each of them and found so many of them I was shocked. I was unable to
delete them and had to send them to the recycle bin. After that I went into
the temp files and deleted all in that folder. I also defrag at least twice
a week and then run the McAfee Anti-virus program after I defrag. It all
helps somewhat, but I still have a lot of time that I am locked up by AOL. I
have a cable connection that I will use as a back up and it seems not to be
bothered as much by the slowness. I think that AOL is going thru the same
problems they had a few years ago when everytime you tried to get online you
got a busy signal. I just hope they get it fixed.

Blane Klemek: The remarkable osprey is a bird worth watching
I watched an American robin a few mornings ago on my backyard lawn struggling with an oversized nightcrawler in its beak as it gainfully yanked at the annelid trying to pull the hapless meal out of the ground. The robin eventually won the tug-of-war, and off it flew with its breakfast.
One of my thoughts as I observed the bird was how this familiar native avian neighbor of ours must have fared before Europeans populated this continent, cleared the forests, built cities and towns, and began mowing lawns. The robin, as we all know, is a bird that is as at home in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness as it is in most any American urban center. The species has adapted very well with and without our influence.
I had a similar thought last week while traveling U.S. Highway 10 northwest of Frazee, Minn. A few miles between the cities of Frazee and Detroit Lakes, a utility line crosses the highway. Adjacent to the roadway and supporting the overhead power line is a steel lattice structure support-tower. On top of the structure is a nesting platform with a large stick-nest sitting "naturally" on the platform. And inside the nest are two growing osprey chicks. I've delighted in watching the nestlings grow day by day.
Like the robin, the osprey appears to be a bird that has benefited from a human made environment. The bird has adapted very well to our presence and routinely nests on structures such as utility poles. Indeed, ospreys are an interesting bird. Often called a "fish hawk or fish eagle," these latter names are aptly assigned for good reason — the osprey's principle prey is fish. It is no wonder that this elegant hawk makes its home throughout Minnesota's thousands of lakes, wetlands, and rivers.
The osprey is fairly easy to distinguish. With a wingspan of over five feet and a body length from beak to tail at about two feet, the bird is sizable amongst hawks and eagles. In flight, ospreys are sometimes confused with gulls and eagles. But the manner in which ospreys fly and hold their wings will often be enough for proper identification.
A distinctive kink at the elbows gives the wings a kind of swept-back appearance in the shape of a subtle looking "M." And if you're lucky enough to observe an osprey do what they do best, catching fish, then you've seen what really sets them apart from other fishing birds.
I'll never forget the first time I witnessed an osprey hunting for prey. I was a young boy canoeing on the Crow Wing River and enjoying the thrills of new adventures around every bend. Floating lazily along a scenic stretch of the river that cuts through farmland on one side and jack pine on the other, I was alerted by a loud splash a few hundred feet downstream.
My canoe partner powering the bow was equally as surprised and so the two of us immediately ceased paddling. We watched as a large and obviously wet bird emerged from the river like some giant hatching mayfly. The bird flew straight up and began to hover effortlessly some thirty or so feet above the water.
A few seconds later it abruptly fell from the sky as though forgetting to flap its wings. In an instant the bird entered the water in a thunderous splash, feet first, disappeared momentarily in its own wake, and reemerged, beating its wings laboriously, but this time, clutched tightly in its talons, with a prize: a squirming fish.
I watched the fish hawk control and subdue its struggling prey while it continued on in flight. The osprey, clutching the fish with one foot in front of the other, positioned the fish headfirst parallel to its own body. The image of the bird's underside while carrying the fish suspended below itself was not unlike that of a sailboat's keel.
Ospreys plumage coloration is classic amongst the animal kingdom. Colored white below and dark above, or as is often referred to as "disruptive coloration", many other species of fishes, amphibians, birds, and mammals exhibit similarly contrasting bellies and dorsums.
The reason for this pattern is simple. Whether the species is the hunted or the hunter, being able to escape detection is vital to its survival. And ospreys are no different. While hovering above a lake's surface, the bird's white belly blends into the sky above, thus making it difficult for fish and other quarry to see the raptor. Being less visible is key to an osprey's fishing success.
But other adaptations contribute to their amazing abilities, too. An osprey's feet are large and scaly with sharp little spines below each talon. In addition, its toes are the same length, which is different from other raptors, as well as possessing reversible outer toes. These features enable ospreys to better grip their slippery and wiggling prey.
The remarkable osprey is a bird worth watching. Striking plumage, vocalizations, hunting style, pair bonding, nests, and parenting are just some of the many fascinating characteristics of this bird of prey. Belonging to the same lineage as hawks, eagles, and falcons, the osprey is nonetheless a different sort of bird as we get out and enjoy the great outdoors.

Everything was very nice and pleasant, just as you expect from a 4 or 5 stars hotel. Internet connection was very disappointing, more frustrating was that they know about it and don't do nothing to satisfy that need
I have been thrre several times and owuld like a room on the 23-25 floor next time prefer 23 to 25 floors
They have English speaking staff, the room wad excellent i upgraded to a suit Room for only 100rmb. It looks and feels like a luxury hotel. There internet connection sucks really sucks. Is like they have one connection to a million people. Frustrating slow.
Very good location and an international hotel. The rooms are exellent. I had a wonderful view to the river. Cleaning was made in a 5 star way and even the bellboys are so helpfull with good skills of english. Nothing bad to say about this hotel and the rate was just fine so I can only highly recommend this hotel.
restaurant boufett - massage center with exotic girls
I like the location and the services. The room bathroom was not in good condition and the bath tub drain was not working.
It's a beautiful hotel. Very spacious and relatively inexpensive. The late checkout time advertised on the website (3PM) was not recognized by the hotel's assistant manager. The manager told me that checkout is usually by 12 noon, and the latest I can check out was 2PM.
Excellent staff service, big rooms
Yes, it was very very inconvenient to go to hotel from the train station upon our arrival. It was too far to walk with all our heavy luggauges and too near to take a taxi (was scolded by taxi driver!). Hotel should provide shuttle bus for guests' convenience.
area near train is convenient, but not the most upscale
opposite the railway station. True, but still difficult to walk with your luggage
Location and excellent value for money
staff don´t speak english but I think that this hotel is one of the best in Shenzhen - be carfully that is china !
quite different and not just like every other hotel yes. would really like if some of your staff speak more english for easier communication cos their were some breakdown in communication especially when we wanted to order for food.
The hotel located in a good place. The breakfact meals didnot meet the expectation of a luxury 5 star hotel meal.
A very warm feeling Thank you none
Pretty responsive staff, good. Locations plenty of restaurants nearby. Close to subway station. The hotel use cheapest possible toiletry. The tooth paste actually taste bitter. I took a shower upon arrival and the plug in the bath tub is not working resulting a pool of water accumulate in the tub. They quickly fix it. But it is annoying. One more thing that is worth mentioning, if you reserved a non-smoking room, good luck getting one with cigeratte smell. I have to change the room twice cause as it happens their customers has no regards to the non-smoking requirement. They smoke whenever wherever they want.
Friendly staff, size of room and view from room Inaccurate information on shuttle service for cross-border crossing to Hong Kong. Journey was long and expensive and uncomfortable. Definitely not recommended!
Helpful Staff, Lovely and Clean with a Good Selection of food.
very old hotel... Like oldsmobille... But with good breakfast
size of room and location food choice at coffee house and hardly any view from window
The loaction The hotel is a little dated and run down for a 5 star business hotel
Location of this hotel is the best in ShenZhen.everything is arround, shopping, Sauna, Seefood street. everything 2-3 minutes by walk.I will sure visit this Hotel again. had two 0.3 cl cans of beer in hotel the loby, payed 220 RMB :( in 7Eleven shop 2X big 0.6 bottles same beer 21RMB :) so in hotel cost 20 times more!!!
Good size of room and large bed No bath
The location is very good, the view is wonderfull and the service excelent.
The location is probably what makes this hotel 'special'.. besides that, nothing too crazy Rooms are very small. Too expensive for just a very normal hotel.Very old hotel
Proximity to the convention center was nice Decent American food choices both in the hotel and right outside. Generally kind staff, even though few had a working level of english. I didn't expect everyone to speak amazing English, but I did expect that the check-in staff would know the words "Convention Center" considering they are a two blocks away and listed as a preferred hotel for one of the largest convention centers in the world. In fact most of the staff didn't know the words -- which is surprising to me. Our "non-smoking" room had a smell that I can't quite describe in words. Something like moldy bread with and cigarettes mixed with decaying animal. It was very unpleasant. The club staff was decent but operated on a 3.5 star level, not 5 star - like they Shangri-La chain should. They just did the minimum's with a bit of attitude and a feeling that your presence was not totally welcome.
Staff is very helpful and attentive. Room was pretty standard/better for business travel in terms of cleanliness. They could make some imrovements in upkeep but otherwise was maintained well and cleaned well daily. Pool and gym are very good. Breakfast is very good. Didn't use the spa, but I wish I did because it looked nice. Not sure why I was recommended this location, I think for proximaty to the border & ease of transportation. However, the other Shangri-La in town seemed closer to better dining, shopping, and bars.
A lot of value for money in this hotel. Very easy if you have to connect to Hong Kong from here. Very pleasant people as well.
Location and the Staff service We stayed on the 9th floor, and the Music (super-bass) was so loud that we can't get to sleep at all - till 3 a.m. in the morning. This would be a disaster for those business travelers who need early sleep /rest during the night.
concreige great help in arranging transport to HKIA strong stale smell in rooms
Close to Louhu gate, Donggman shopping area, and subway. Hard to get a non-smoking room
they have internet access within the rooms. gym and swimming pool. restaurant that is open. english speaking services. i think it is a little pricey.
Room is always clean and in good shape. Always has hot water available and the bellmen in the lobby are the best in Shenzhen. If you need anything in Shenzhen, talk to the bellmen! Location to me is awesome. The front desk staff continues to not measure up. First, they do not understand there own check in procedures. Second, average English in the actual check-in staff which is not there fault. My fault for not knowing Chinese. Second, if your checking in or out and your from another country, if someone Chinese walks up to the desk, they stop your check in, help them and come back to you afterwards. This is normal in China but its overboard in this hotel. They just cant get there front desk procedures right at all. I don't think they have the ability to fix this problem.
Very good hotel for this price! Internet connection in the Hotel is not fast. Breakfast could have been better.
The location was convinient as it was right next to the train station but that was all. The images online showed a completely different room from what was the actual condition at the hotel. Staff was super rude when i brought this to their attention; only good for a short stay and because of proximity to the train station.
I stayed at the Hotel many times find staff very helpfull and friendly. Good location and excellent value for money
Room and location Front desk staff is 100 percent rude and does not understand website bookings. If you book on a website check your bank account as they charge you twice for your room so you end up paying double. You explain to staff and show them paperwork and they still do not have the ability to understand. Bad service
Great hotel, good value for money, friendly and helpful staff who spoke English. Excellent location. Close to Metro Station, shopping, food places etc. Will stay there for sure if I go back to Shenzhen. The Gym opens only at 7am
The hotel is easy walking distance to the Louhu Commercial Centre and train station. The bed was very hard, tv programmes did not cater for English speaking guests.
friendly staff
Clean And Comfort
The hotel staff are very friendly and helpful. The location of the hotel also quite strategy to get to the Bus/Rail stations. N/A
closed to louhu, so we can just walk there when I check in to the hotel, they ask for down payment, on your booking information it said we paid when we check out.
very cenrtal position, next to Luohu railway station, but still if you have bagage not so easy to get!!!! how ever they say that there is a train to the airport, but there is not, must use taxior there transportation (must pay for it), if you like and looking for "copy" of everything, so thats the place Luohu railway station, open untill very late
Comfortable room, location accessible by metro
It is one of the nicest hotels in Shenzhen; It almost is as good as the Shanga-la hotel opposite the railroad station in terms of how clean, and comfortable the rooms are. Although it looks like the hotel is a short walk from the train station, looks can be misleading. Because of the way the roads are laided out and the fact that you cannot "jay walk" around that area -- it is actually about a 15 minute walk away particularly if you have luagged and cannot use the underground tunnels (because of the stairs).
spa on the 4th floor. bed a bit to hard
check in, check out was fast.Room was cosy. none
Everything, as i always book at this hotel.Location is the best , as u are able to get around the city easily from here.
good location, near metro a chair in the room not in good condition
I like the location of the hotel. I hate the way they served me. My wife and I stay at this hotel, one incident happened to my wife. My wife was alone went to the hotel room while I was at lobby reception counter settle my thing. My wife was enter a wrong floor and wrong room, a security was asking my wife some question and suspect my wife is a prostitute, he force my wife to go down to the hotel lobby with a "rude" attitude to my wife. This is the way "shenzhen Luohu Hotel" serve their customer? This is the only this I hate the hotel service.
Nothing is much about this hotel that I will plan my next trip to stay gain in this ame hotel. Staff Behaivour, Communicaton Skill, Break Fast, Room Service, Operator,
location few English-speaking staff at reception
The shower is good. The location of the hotel is too far away from the train station and the entrance is difficult to locate (unless you are taking a cab). My room is also facing a road under construction.
nothing to like. They treat guest very bad, they want always money upfront for accomodation. Ever day they were blocking my key and i could not enter the room. Be carefull they try to charge you more every day.
Location close to shopping centers,parks & museum noise from outside;restless sleeping
Rooms are quite big and cheap. They provide kitchenette and laundry as well. Front desk was very helpfull and friendly. Walking distance to Dong men night market. They have the hardest beds that you can ever see. Hotel workers do not speak english except one person.
Room size, Room facilities, Location
Close to nearby shopping area. Next to Metropark, MTR station under construction. Spacious room. Suggest to provide facial box tissue & spoons for guests in each room
The rooms are spacious only some noice coming from the street until late. Hard beds, staff speaks poor english. This is a hotel more for local people.
The quality of the room for the price was excellent. The beds could be more comfortable.
Big rooms, nice helpfull staff, free internet, good breakfast. I stay in this hotel every time when come to Shenzhen and it becomes better and better. tough bed, carpet in the room.

New to forum but XBMC user for last 4 years. re-doing movie list one at a time with Eden release. I am a bit confused with the media flags and the wiki and other posts on the forum don't really answer this.
The flag is set from the media info (i.e. not filename but actual media info of the film). If I have a normal DVD that was ripped with handbrake to mkv file with resolution 720 by XXX and DTS passthru audio, what flags should show? On a 2.8Gb rip it is showing me the SD flag (standard def), is this right? I know it isnt a bluray but if the quality is 720p shouldnt that show a 720 flag? Oddly, of all my my DVDs ripped so far (+-15), all ripped the same way with same presets in handbrake (modified high profile preset, loose anamorphic h264 quality 18), 1 of the films shows as 720p the rest all show as SD.
So I guess my questions are:
1) Should it be showing 720p for any of the films if they are from normal DVD source (and what determines SD vs HD vs 720 vs 1080 flags)
2) If so, at what point does it change over? The films I have at 720x432 and 720x576 dont show as 720p, but the one at 720x632 does show as 720p
3) I use ember media manager to scrape the films for me first. I see there is a way to add metadata for the .nfo file in there. Is it capable of detecting the settings itself? Because I am not about to start typing in the codec details of 2000+ DVD titles, that would take forever.

OK, a bit more info to add to this.
A) I got the whole resolution thing mixed up, those files shouldnt show as 720p, but instead as 576p and 480p
B) I had an old version of Ember, so I updated to the new maintained code and it now correctly reads the media information and displays the flags.
However, XBMC (confluence default skin) still does not show the correct flags like 576p, 480p etc. It would appear that it reads the data neither from the media info nor the .nfo file that ember writes out Is this a mistake with the skin or is this an XBMC quirk?

82 volvo turbo diesel for sale
SOLD! for $1800 Background: This started off as a small project in 2009? or 10, I cant remember. I turned up the stock pump as high as it would go "till it ran away" and drove it like that for a bit. After a trip down to the store I immediately figured out it needed more air and more appeal, but not too much, I was initially going for sleeper status. I mounted a GT3267R turbo under the hood with a flush hood stack. This was fine and dandy for about 1 pull then the head gasket went. It sat for another 6 months till I gathered enough courage to tear the head off and reset the timing by hand with no special tools. Turns out that this is a FUCKING WHORE. front and rear cam gears are conical slip fit and there are NO timing marks. After trial and error, it runs. Since the turbo was canted at a 30 degree angle, it never drained the oil properly and ALWAYS blew oil on the car when it sat for more than 5 seconds at a time. Long story short I got a job offer in NC and move up there for 2 years leaving my volvo to sit in my back yard with no cover over the stack. (well, there was a cover but it was gone when I returned) a fresh battery, stale fuel and starter fluid brought it back to life and onto a trailer to my new shop in conroe where it sat for another year till I had the time to properly fit the turbo kant, fix the radiator, install the a\c, fix all the DOT problems and get plates to drive it around. The reason the turbo sticks out of the hood is because the riser I made from recycled stainless Exhaust was a little tall and I honestly forgot about the hood till I tried to close it. (yeah, i know, im stupid) However when I saw it, it had to stay like that. I found a velocity stack in my random turbo parts box and it sealed the deal. Yes it was legal to drive on the roads. It doesnt require emissions since its 1. an antique car, 2. diesel 3. build pre 08. It had working high and low beams, blinkers, new wipers, good tires, safe steering, all brakes worked including the e-brake, seat bealts, horn (in the pass. seat) and brake lights. instagram: @hvguy RELISTED! 12/10/14 This is a quick tour of the car, a short drive to show it all works and a few more details... in detail.

I am three months post op from my BA. I got 286cc under the muscle silicone implants. I am unhappy with the results, I feel they are still very flat on the top and are still tubular in shape. I spoke with my surgeo and he gave me 2 options. A. I can go through surgery again and replace my 286 implants with 350, but my surgeon doesn't think that would be good for my body frame. B. to get fat injections in the top of my breasts to fill them out. I don't know what to do if anything. Would love advice!

Unhappy with Results After BA
You do have some of the features of tubular breasts,Some of features that define a tubular breast are:
•Wide and puffy areolae
•widely spaced breasts
•high breast fold
•constricted lower pole (deficient tissue in lower half of the breast
•minimal breast tissue
•high breast fold
•narrow base of the breast\
From the pre-op photos, I see the first two features, with low set areolae, also a common feature.
I find myself looking at a nice result by-in-large, but one that could be improved by a breast lift which could elevate and slightly centralize the nipples and areolae.
The entire breast is lower than on some women, and that is not really improvable but also not something that looks unattractive.
If you consider this, be sure to look at photos of the lift scars when evaluating the pros and cons.
Thanks, best wishes.
Results of augmentation in mildly tuberous breast.
You have a very nice result from your augmentation. Augmentaiton cannot be expected to dramatically change the shape of the breast or the areolas. A breast lift can change shape and areola size and you may want to consider it. BUT - if I were you, I would learn to love your result. It is very, very good and the enemy of good is better, even in plastic surgery.

Your breast augmentation results look good you may benefit from breast lift
Thank you for your question and photographs. Honestly considering your preoperative breast appearance the result of your breast augmentation look very good. Be certain that what is bothering you is not the fact that your nipple position is low. If you feel the nipples are low a breast lift might make the breasts look more appealing to you. Larger breast implants most likely will sag further down into the breast and will not give you the fullness above the areola.

Unhappy after BA
I think your doctor since the beggining should be aware of tubular breast , i do not think changing the size implant irself will solve the situation 350 is a good size for you under muscle the problem is that to change this tubular shape it needs to be treated with internal radiation of whole mamary gland tissue including periareolar surgery to reduce the size of areola and with combinatio of radiation and periareaolar incision treat the herniation that your nipple presents, after this you can decide if you want to go to bigger size implant . because ounce radiation is done then implant will show and get a rounded shape , this tubular shape you are presenting is not because of the size of your implant is because the tubular shape was not treated
Revision after breast augmentation
Based on your preoperative photos, your breast augmentation went exactly as planned. The implants are in a normal position based on your breast. If you are unhappy with the shape of your breast and the position of your nipples, I think a breast lift would give you a good result. This would allow some improvement in the tubular nature of your breasts as well as decrease the size of the areola and lift the nipple.
Mild tubular breast and ptosis
I do not think that getting larger implants or fat grafting will help much. What you don't like about your breasts is not a lack of volume, it is the shape. The best way to change the shape of the breast is with a mastopexy or breast lift. You appear to have a mild form of tubular breast with dilated areolae. I would suggest having a vertical breast lift with areolar reduction. A periareolar lift is another option, but I do not like the scarring associated with the typical "donut" mastopexy.
Unhappy after breast augmentation
Your result is a reflection of what you were before breast augmenation, and as the nipple was low on the breast it has remained so after your augmentation. Without moving the nipple higher anything done to increas fill on top will cause the nipple to sink lower. More volume alone is OK if the scar is not right for you, but do expect the skin envelope to remain the same.

Implants just magnify the breasts you have
The problem here isn't with the work done by your doctor but with the fact that implants just magnify your preop shape and anatomy. Unless you can adapt and learn to like your new look, you will need another surgery with its recovery and costs. From what I can see the main thing you need is a lift. I would advise against far grafts. New implants can give more fullness but without a lift they will actually make you potentially look worse.
Revision breast augmentation
I think that you probable need a circumareola reduction to improve the shape and appearance of the breasts. That is my guess based solely on your photos.
How Can I Improve The Appearance Of My Breasts- I Am Unhappy With The Post Operative Results
If you were my patient, I would do a circumareolar reduction of your nipple areolar complex. This would give you a smaller nipple size, eliminate the puffiness of your nipples, flatten your breasts to decrease the tubular shape, and make your breasts rounder, all simultaneously. I would also increase the size of your implants to give you more fullness in the upper quadrant using a moderate or moderate plus profile which will give a greater base diameter. Finally, and as an aside, I would suction out your axillary breast tissue to give a more attractive overall appearance to your breasts.
All that being said, your desires and possibly my suggestions should be discussed with your plastic surgeon.

Kim Kardashian Thinks Criticism For Her Fake Marriage Is Just Like Having Cancer
When I first heard that Kim Kardashian had an interview in The Guardian, my first reaction was to roll my eyes and just assume it was some sort of puff piece about whatever the fuck she's shilling now. Turns out it's loaded with enough dry British wit calling out her vapidness to make me want to bang an English muffin which I did. So if you're looking for a good read on the Brit's shock and horror over what the fuck we just exported to their island, give it a whirl, and in the meantime here are some highlights that include Kim equating the fallout from her fake marriage to Kris Humphries with cancer and how she truly is the Ass Darth Vader to Kris Jenner's Whore Emperor:
On being asked why she's famous:
"When I hear people say [what are you famous for?], I want to say, what are you talking about?" she says slowly, her eyes wide as a bushbaby's. "I have a hit TV show. We've shot more episodes than I Love Lucy! We've been on the air longer than The Andy Griffith Show! I mean, these are iconic shows, so it blows my mind when people say that."
On if she has any legitimate talents:
"What is my talent?" She cocks her head to one side. "Well, a bear can juggle and stand on a ball and he's talented, but he's not famous. Do you know what I mean?"
On how her fake marriage was just like cancer:
"Not really. We had done filming our season at that point, so we decided to film for the wedding. And that was a decision that he and I made together. But I think that, with any decisions in life [brace yourselves], like, I spoke to a girl today who had cancer and we were talking about how this is such a hard thing for her, but it taught her a big lesson on who her friends are and so much about life. She's 18. And I was like, that's how I feel."
On how she'd apparently give herself cancer again because she thinks she's the Royal Family now:
"So. Would I get married on TV again? No." … She thinks about it for a moment. "Well, I guess you never say never. Because who knows? So many other people I know have gotten married on TV and it has worked out amazing for them." … There is a pause. "William and Kate got married on TV," Kardashian says thoughtfully.
On doing Playboy:
Her father would have been horrified, Kardashian says. "He would have killed me." … But her mum? "Oh, she was all for it."
On one day overthrowing Kris Jenner:
She actually breaks out an annoyed facial expression. "We are totally equal. She listens to what I say. She follows my lead. She works for me. I mean, on the show maybe it doesn't come off that way…"
When reached for comment, Kris Jenner cackled and shot lightning out of her hands at Kylie until she Instagrammed a shot of herself in a bikini. Also, something about a battle station being "quite operational."

Hi ladies,
I just need to vent a little. When we went for an elective pink or blue gender scan at 16 weeks, we were told it's a girl. We named her Hailey and started planning everything, told family and friends. Fast forward to my 20 weeks scan yesterday. The tech was very abrupt and rude first of all, and then she hits me with "I think I see a penis, not sure. You should go back to the elective place and have them check again since you paid for it."
So, I called the elective place and they immediately worked me in yesterday for another scan at no cost. And, it's a boy! The tech labeled every picture with boy parts, and was very apologetic.
I can't help but feel somewhat of a loss/shock. I will love this little guy with all my heart of course, just like our 2 year old son. It's just a strange adjustment going from talking to "Hailey" and having my son say "sissy" and rub my tummy to now accepting the fact we will have a boy.
