Two weeks ago today, I had abdominoplasty. Last night I woke up in the middle of the night with a jolt and felt a pain where there hadn't been pain before; on the left side below the ribs moving from side to center. It is sensitive to touch however that isn't anything new. I have been quite active the last two days and driving as I was told I could. Could I have popped a stitched or done any other damage? There is no swelling or bruising.
Have I Done Damage to Sutures? Popped stitches
Doctor Answers 3
Sudden pain in the tummy 2 weeks after a tummy tuck?
Sutures are used to tighen the muscles of the abdomen, as well as to close the layers of the deep tissues in the abdomen. If you feel a sudden pop and some discomfort, but no bruising and only mild tenderness in the area, it is unlikely that any major damage has occurred. However, it is a good idea to see your surgeon for a checkup after one of these episodes. Remember that it is a bad idea to do heavy lifting after a full tummy tuck with a muscle repair until after your doctor says you can do so. Sutures are so strong now adays that you are likely to have the deep sutures cut through your muscles like the fancy cheese wire slicers cut through blocks of cheese. Some people have softer, less fibrous tissues that don't 'hold a stitch' very well. It is important to follow the surgeons instructions so that you don't do any damage.
Pain in abdomen two weeks after surgery
Having some pain after resuming acitivity shortly after a tummy tuck is probably normal. If you have concerns, consult with your surgeon.

Pain in tummy tuck muscle repair.
A popping sound may be the initial sign of disrupting a muscle stitch. With time, a bulge which may be more apparent when attempting to sit up from a laying down position. Let your doctor know. He/she may have you get an ultrasound to diagnose this for sure.

London (UPI) Feb 29, 2016
The Royal Navy's newest submarine has test fired her first torpedo using a new British-designed and built command-and-control system.
The common combat system used by the Astute-class submarine HMS Artful was made by BAE Systems in collaboration with Thales UK. It "functions as the digital 'brain' of the boat controlling its 'eyes', 'ears' and 'nervous system,'" the Ministry of Defense said.
In the torpedo test, the CCC interpreted sonar readings and then attacked a moving target with a practice weapon.
The system uses the latest technology to collect and process huge amounts of data from various sensors to provide information to aid in command decisions. It can also process information fed back from Sonar 2076, which the Royal Navy now uses to detect and track adversaries.
"This command and control system, designed as part of an innovative partnership between Defense and U.K. industry will allow British submarines to adapt more quickly to changing mission requirements, making operations even safer and more efficient," said Minister for Defense Procurement Philip Dunne.
"It is a next generation system, both highly capable and cost-effective, which can be installed right across the Royal Navy's submarine fleets, thereby guaranteeing the best capability for the Royal Navy and the best value for money for the taxpayer."
In addition to BAE Systems and Thales UK, Dell, Aish Technologies and VMWare contributed to CCC system development.
"The Common Combat System allows the Royal Navy to detect and track the quietest adversaries," said Rear Adm. Keith Beckett, director Submarines Support at the MOD's defence procurement organisation, DE&S. "It is a huge improvement in terms of resilience and flexibility and we're at the early stages of exploring the system's huge potential."

We recently told you about all the Bollywood movies that are set to hit the theatres this September. Well, we are now here to inform you about some changes from the filmmakers of Prague. Nothing to worry, this may not ruin your sweet September plans.
The latest news is that Prague which was supposed to release on September 6 has been pushed to the end of the month. This movie directed by Rohit Khaitan is now slated for a September 27th release.
September 27 also has another movie in store for us. Bollywood thriller film titled Warning is set to release on the same day. It looks like the makers do not have much worry about this clash.
They surely did not want to compete with biggies like Zanjeer and Shuddh Desi Romance which open on September 6. Anil Aggarwal, the distributer of Prague liked the film a lot, and did not feel it was appropriate to release the movie on a date when big movies were out.
The distributer told the producer to postpone it. "Saw your movie Prague last night. Was a great experience. The genre was totally different, so we advise you to shift the date of this film from September 6 to September 27. This movie deserves proper release. There are many film releasing on September 6. Thanks," Aggarwal said in his message to the producer.
This is not the first time that the movie has been delayed. It was first scheduled for release July 6, and was later pushed to August 2 as well. Prague is a psychological thriller which stars Chandan Roy Sanyal,Elena Kazan, Arfi Lamba and Kumar Mayank as main characters. The movie directed by Ashish R Shukla revolves around the lives of three architects and their paranormal experiences as they explore Prague. Come back for more updates of the movie.

Your local councillor - working for you all year round Learn more
by Cllr Karen Chilvers on 9 November, 2012
Many residents are under the impression that their councillors, especially those on the opposition side of the chamber, get regularly updated about what's going on. Sadly, it's more often that we are left in the dark about these things.
In Shenfield, our councillors have oft been left out of meetings with Crossrail, for example, about a major project. Conservative councillors do get told the latest goings ons.
Luckily, because I speak to a lot of residents regularly I get told a lot, but not from official channels.
Wednesday night's planning meeting was astounding though – an application was withdrawn BUT no-one bothered to tell the three Liberal Democrat councillors on the committee. They told all the Conservative members and the Labour rep, but not us!
For a glimpse into what goes on – see the video below.Leave a comment

Where does heaven meet earth?
Is it during a time of spiritual rebirth?
A family's joy at their first birth;
A time when two souls come together;
Is it a friendship that no one can sever?
A gift of unconditional love to a friend;
A hand of friendship that we extend;
To help a neighbor that needs kindness;
Is it when we actually see justice?
It is all the above and much more.
It is Divine love that we outpour.
This is where Heaven meets earth.
And all creation feels their worth.

Short Changing The Future
Short Changing The Future
The Sensible Sentencing Trust (SST) is calling on the Government to step up and take action after the publication of the 'The Peoples Report'.
"When personal responsibility is removed from society the outcome was entirely predictable," Garth McVicar, SST CEO says. "The fact is, this report could have been scripted 30 years ago when the liberal lunacy movement got underway."
The $2million dollar, Sir Owen Glenn funded report, was aimed to disclose New Zealand's shocking record of domestic violence and child abuse. The report summarises the detailed experiences of frontline workers, offenders and survivors of abuse. What is has revealed has sent shockwaves through the Nation.
"The ABCD (accountability, boundaries, consequences and discipline) are the founding principles of a well-adjusted society," McVicar says. "The mayhem on the streets today is simply a product of their demise."
SST Is also concerned about comments made that suggest the reversal of the burden of proof. "To make an accused guilty until proven innocent is a ridiculous suggestion," McVicar says. "It is also ludicrous to be blaming poverty, as it simply feeds the problem."
The report also goes on to say that there is an; 'insidious normalisation of violence in some of our families'.
"There is a significant underbelly of NZ society, present across all socio-economic groups, races, ages and other demographics, in which violence and confrontation is the DEFAULT method of resolving disputes or getting one's way," McVicar says. "This has become and is, more and more ingrained in NZ's broad culture."
SST believes that the current status quo is failing the children of New Zealand.
"Short changing your future now, is a short term fix for a long term problem," McVicar says. "We need to change this NOW, under our watch, not in five years when minsters can blame it on another Government!"
SST is calling for National Child Abuse Agency that contains Police powers who are independent and answer direct to the Government.
"We also want Multi Agency Panels to be set up within a legislative framework forcing agencies such as Police, CYF's, Councils, and ACC to work together. At present the Police use the meetings with CYF's when it suits not because they have to."
"While I congratulate the authors of this report the reality is that the liberal lunatics will be trying desperately to discredit it. If we are serious about this," McVicar adds. "Protecting our children cannot be just another slogan it must become the catch-cry of every New Zealander and every child must be treated as if they really do matter."
"As the report says children who were abused often become the next generation of abusers. Is it any wonder N Z has such a high crime rate when policies of the past have guaranteed the criminals of the future?"

Paula Deen and Family 'Taking It One Day At A Time'
Paula Deen may have won the court battle, but don't expect her to be popping champagne and throwing a victory party in her honor anytime soon.
"She's not the type to celebrate. She's the type to go back to work," said her former husband Jimmy Deen, who spoke with their sons Bobby and Jamie shortly after news made headlines that the $1.2 million civil case against Paula had officially been closed Monday.
"They're just taking it one day at a time."
The suit was filed by former employee, Lisa Jackson, who accused the Southern chef of racism and sexual harassment, but was dismissed by a federal judge this week "with prejudice," which means it cannot be filed again.
In the wake of media and public scrutiny after a deposition revealed the 66-year-old TV star used the N-word in the past, the fallout was huge. Paula not only lost her Food Network show, but millions of dollars in endorsements from a bevy of companies that decided to severe professional ties with the silver-haired chef.
But her family hasn't lost faith that she will rebuild her reputation until she's back on top.
"I feel like she will get her business back," added Jimmy.
"And she'll be stronger for it."

Many cat owners are devoted to their cats and concerned about their health and wellbeing. As an "obligate carnivore" a cat must eat meat to sustain life and remain healthy. The basic nutritional needs of cat are: proteins, taurine, essential amino acids, vitamins and minerals.
PurrForm from the start believe that a protein diet with bone and offal is the closest diet that a cat would eat in the wild and therefore by offering different flavours the cat would get 95% of their nutritional requirements. We use only human grade-meat and don't add carcasses to make sure that our product is highly digestible. A cat eating a high protein, well-balanced diet would utilize a minimum of 85% of the food intake with very little being eliminated through the faeces.
The other factor that PurrForm took into consideration when making the flavours is the taurine requirement that a cat needs. There is a lot of misunderstanding regarding taurine. The fact is that taurine deteriorates when exposed to heat (as in cooked foods) and any deficiency could make the cat seriously ill. The greatest amount of taurine is found in raw meat and muscle meat.
With the advice of tops consultants, we have spent 2 years to bring the concept to life. Sourcing good quality ingredients and balanced recipes, PurrForm offers a high quality meal for cats with 95% of their nutritional requirements.
As we know a cat can be a fussy eater and will need a variety of food, complementary or complete, during its life. Cats should eat a variety of meat and bone food. PurrForm food has no odour and looks very appetising (to cats and humans!!)
It may take fussy eaters a while to convert to a natural raw diet, but it is worth it. Most people underestimate the vital importance of an appropriate diet in animals.
By packaging our product in individual, pre-portioned pouches we wanted to make it effortless, with no wastage, convenient and easy to serve for all cat owners.
We may not be the cheapest but in the same way that low quality food can be cheap, quality ingredients that are highly-digestible, do cost more. So, don't be tempted by deals that appear too good to be true — because they probably are. You cannot compare a fillet steak with a burger!!

3. Ask him if he likes pasta
4. If he says no, call him a traitor to his country
5. E-mail him a handful of Nico fan-fic's (The ones with lemons if you know what I mean)
6. If he doesn't read them, tell him this is proof of him being forever alone (If you have to, repeate #2)
7. Or just straight jacket him to a chair in your room and read them out loud for him *A mouth gag could prove most affective*
8. It would be even better if you video-tape his reactions to the fan-fictions with Camp-Half-Blood people (Thalico, etc.)

10. Tell him the etomology of his name.

Quotation by George Harrison:
George Harrison (more by this author)
1943-2001 (Age at death: 58 approx.)
George Harrison, MBE (25 February 1943 - 29 November 2001) was an English rock guitarist, singer-songwriter, actor and film producer who achieved international fame as lead guitarist of The Beatles. Often referred to as "the quiet Beatle", Harrison embraced Indian mysticism, and helped broaden the horizons of the other Beatles, as well as those of their Western audience. Following the band's break-up, he had a successful career as a solo artist and later as part of the Traveling Wilburys, and also as a film and record producer. Harrison is listed at number 21 in Rolling Stone magazine's list of "100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time".
Although most of The Beatles' songs were written by Lennon and McCartney, Harrison, also a songwriter, generally contributed 1-2 songs per record from the With The Beatles onwards. His later compositions with The Beatles include "Here Comes the Sun", "Something" and "While My Guitar Gently Weeps". By the time of the band's break-up, Harrison had accumulated a backlog of material, which he then released as the acclaimed and successful triple album All Things Must Pass in 1970, from which came two singles: a double A-side single, "My Sweet Lord" backed with "Isn't It a Pity", and "What Is Life". In addition to his solo work, Harrison co-wrote two hits for Ringo Starr, another former Beatle, as well as songs for the Traveling Wilburys""the supergroup he formed in 1988 with Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, Jeff Lynne, and Roy Orbison.

Chetham's school head 'shocked' after music tutor conviction
Claire Moreland, Head of Chetham's School of Music, has said she is "shocked to the core" after a leading choir director who worked at the school was convicted of sex abuse charges.
Michael Brewer, 68, of Selly Oak, Birmingham, carried out the offences at Chetham's School of Music and his Manchester home between 1978 and 1982.
The jury at Manchester Crown Court found him not guilty of raping the same victim, who died during the trial and is thought to have killed herself.
Ms Moreland said the current school staff express their "sorrow and sympathy we feel for the family of our former student".

I love playing ultimate. I train in a martial art called aikido. I enjoy cooking more than cleaning. I make a great apple pie.
I consider myself to be somewhat of an environmentalist, with a bias towards reusing more than recycling. I like camping and being outdoors.
I am looking for someone who loves reading and movies and biking and hiking, and might try rock climbing, kayaking, sledding, or ice climbing. Someone who is always up to try new foods, but has a soft spot for homemade food.
The Dark is Rising, Thoreau, The Little Prince, Gaiman, Lloyd Alexander
Movies: Memento is a favorite. Delicatessen, True Romance, Good Will Hunting, When Harry Met Sally, Empire Records, Fight Club, Usual Suspects, The Shawshank Redemption, Office Space
My favorite b-rated movie is Blood of Heroes.
Shows I like: This American Life, Radiolab, Doctor Who, The Wire, Mad Men, SYTYCD, Queer as Folk, The Moth

Department of the Army Historical Summary: FY 1979
Operational Forces
In the fall of 1979, the ArmyÆs four-year expansion was complete. The expansion created three new divisions without an increase in troops and established the most stringent standards ever for peacetime readiness. No one doubted that the Army was stronger and certainly leaner than at any other time since the Vietnam War. It was the one credible deterrent against expanding communist forces. But, it was also an Army with some serious organizational problems.
Organization and Mobilization
Of those problems, none presented a larger threat to the militaryÆs objectives than the inability of units to meet their deployment schedules. This was caused mainly by resource shortages and complex mobilization procedures. The restructuring of the Army into twenty-four divisions, active and reserve components, had been completed. Nevertheless, except for formations permanently stationed in Europe and Korea (the chief beneficiaries of the specialized programs to enhance force readiness), the Army was still deficient in usable battalions. Only four of the ten active divisions on the American mainland were capable of deploying overseas in an emergency. Furthermore, the logistics story was even bleaker.
For years, logistics had offered reasonable assurance that whatever edge an enemy might have, superior and timely support would put matters right. All that changed as the decade ended. With more active Army manpower being allocated to the improvement of active combat forces, more and more of the combat service support functions were being transferred to the undermanned reserves. By 1978, virtually no base existed that could sustain combat troops beyond the first few weeks of a war. Heightened concern for its power and force mix on the battlefield had brought the Army to the edge of logistical subsistence. Only patchwork solutions were visible.
Despite a long succession of reorganizations and manpower retention programs, the reserve componentsŚboth logistical and combat forcesŚwere not adequately prepared. They were required to provide more than half of all the combat battalions necessary for early deployment in the event of a war. These
supplemental battalions were affiliated with active forces for training and operations. Four understructured regular divisions, the 7th and 25th Infantry Divisions and the 5th and 24th Mechanized, had recently been rounded out with affiliated brigades. And yet, as NIFTY NUGGET 78 (an exercise in mobilization and deployment) demonstrated, this procedure would not suffice in a European war. Even before the fighting began, many reserve units would be heavily taxed in an effort to supplement the active forces. Barely a month into combat, the Individual Ready Reserve would be quickly exhausted.
In terms of mobilization, the Army ended the year in considerable trouble. Although the fiscal year 1980 request takes aim at the most glaring deficiencies, especially in prepositioned equipment, few expect a significant improvement to occur soon. This is how it has always been in the peacetime reinforcing establishmentŚthere are always ammunition shortages, manpower shortages, and inadequate funds. To express concern, as was being done throughout the Army, is not in itself going to hasten significant improvement. Better for now, as the Chief of Staff put it, to establish realistic priorities and to balance the desirable at home against the necessary abroad. For it is abroad that the
ArmyÆs basic mission lay, and where its efficiency to fight will have to be judged. It is also abroad that the Seventh Army lay, with a heritage of neglect which has yet to be fully overcome.
The ōlost decade,ö as it was known to the fifteen nations of the Atlantic Alliance, had ended four years earlier when NATO military advantages were lost to the Warsaw Pact and permanent inferiority in Europe loomed. Since then, force improvement programs have increased, but at a price. Every NATO member had pursued their force improvements individually, with little allied coordination. By the end of the 1970Æs, the armies of the alliance were less operationally compatible than they had been five years before. Planners generally agreed that of all the NATO armies, U.S. Army, Europe (USAREUR), would have to take the lead in standardization.
In 1979, U.S. Army, Europe, was about 200,000 soldiers strong, or more than a quarter the strength of the active Army. With the exception of Brigade 75 (which had transferred in late January to northern Germany) and the Berlin Brigade, USAREUR was assigned to the Central Army Group. U.S. Army, Europe, contained four divisions, four separate brigades, and two armored cavalry regiments. The forces were becoming stronger, both armored and mechanized, an expression of shock action and firepower directed at Soviet advances. For example, cavalry units exchanged their Sheridans for M60Æs, 210 Cobra/TOWÆS in ten companies were installed on the ground, and armored units increased the size of their tank crews. Artillery forces had been strengthened by the arrival of three battalions of medium and heavy artillery (with increases in the number of tubes for every battery) and adoption of a novel uploading system to quicken the responses of ammunition units alerted for battle. Additional infusions of equipment and technology were to follow, and progress was so sure that in 1978 a proposal was made to turn over to Germany nearly all the base management operations. The proposal, referred to as USAREURŚAn Army Deployed, would be negotiated with the NATO allies and would better enable the Army to prepare for war.
In the early years of the alliance, questions of cross-servicing and standardization had rarely arisen. With American military assistance programs supplying the allies with equipment, the standard division reflected American traditions. Unfortunately, the disappearance of the division coincided with the Vietnam
War, and by the time the United States could again focus on its NATO forces, the allied armies could hardly so much as communicate across corps boundaries.
This was the situation, when the allies began exploring ōinteroperability.ö Serious disagreements over strategy, questionable dollar savings, and national will and pride had all hindered cooperation. However, everyone did agree on one point: not until 1983, at the earliest, would stocks of ammunition available to the alliance sustain a thirty-day war. With that single acknowledgement, working group discussions on both sides of the Atlantic continued as the fiscal year ended.
The Pacific
In the other global trouble spot where the Army stood on guard, it was a year of discovery and surprise. The withdrawal of the 2d Infantry Division from its sectors in South Korea, announced by President Carter in 1977, had been based on a favorable assessment of the peninsular balance. But in 1978, new intelligence indicated that the earlier estimate had been overly optimistic, that North KoreaÆs forces, the forth largest in the communist world, had much more capability to launch an invasion of the Republic of Korea than anyone in Seoul or Washington had previously thought. In July 1979 the President decided to temporarily freeze combat withdrawals. Certain supporting units would still depart in 1980, but air defense units would leave somewhat later. Equipment would continue to be turned over to the Korean forces. Other than that, the Army would remain on duty in South Korea.
The planned withdrawals had brought about an important change in command and control. The idea of a single headquarters directing Korean and American forces had been under consideration for a number of years, and had been proven, as far as planners were concerned, by the I Corps (ROK/US) Group in the western sector. Late in 1978, therefore, symbolizing our commitment to the Republic of Korea, the Combined Forces Command was inaugurated in Seoul. The commander in chief was an American, and commanded the Eighth U.S. Army. His deputy was a South Korean. The command proved its worth as a planning tool in managing TEAM SPIRIT, their first training exercise. By completion of the exercise late in the fiscal year, 160,000 troops had participated. They tested not only interoperability, but also reinforcement by American combat elements from stations as far away as Hawaii.
One of those elements was HawaiiÆs 25th Infantry Division,
at the time a subordinate unit of Army Forces Command. For years, the absence of a headquarters specifically responsible for the Army in the Pacific (other than Korea and Japan) had been regarded as a serious weakness. That was the official interpretation given by the Joint Chiefs. Consequently, on 23 March, the Army Western Command was established at Fort Shafter, giving the Army a planning nucleus to hasten its passage to war in the Pacific theater. Now, as the Pacific reinforcing contingent, the 25th Division had its next higher headquarters right at home.
The Third World
Building up the land forces in Europe and maintaining a position in the Pacific had been American goals for nearly three decades. It was something of a political departure, then, to create a rapid deployment force for use in global contingencies outside NATO. This raised questions in Washington about fundamental American interests and the projection of power.
As originally conceived and constituted by Army planners, the force was a mix of units from all the servicesŚthe ArmyÆs contribution being a command and control headquarters, light and heavy divisions and brigades, and support elements. It was not, officials emphasized, a numerical addition to the strength of the military establishment, but a quick combined reaction force which, if called for in Third World emergencies, would rely upon existing units without mobilization. How the Army and the other services would work around their grievous shortages was not resolved. But increases in spending in fiscal year 1980 offered a good beginning.
When the fiscal year ended, the ArmyÆs rapid deployment force was still uncertain. Decisions concerning commanders, basing, and airlift would take months to emerge from a cautious administration.
Support for the Civil Authorities
In another field of combined operations, humanitarian relief and assistance, and teamwork and readiness had long been the accepted standard. Nowhere was this demonstrated under conditions of greater urgency than in the grisly mission of recovery in Jonestown, Guyana. Three commands joined in the task force to evacuate the remains of the American cult members: the U.S. Readiness Command, the Military Airlift Command, and the U.S. Southern Command. The two-month operation cost the Department of Defense over $4 million and was possibly the most spectacular military commitment to emergency assistance.
Before the year was out, fire fighting, snow removal, and hurricane and flood relief would engage the ArmyÆs forces, from Hawaii to the Caribbean. The nuclear incident at Three Mile Island called forth several transportation units. Finally, as throughout the 1970Æs, Army and Air Force helicopters sustained the Military Assistance to Safety and Traffic program (MAST). In the programÆs nine years of existence, its helicopters have flown 36,000 hours, transporting patients, medical teams, and supplies. By mid-1979, twenty-eight MAST sites were providing communities in the United States with emergency services.
Chemical Warfare
During the past year, the U.S. continued to negotiate with the Soviet Union on the subject of a comprehensive treaty to ban chemical warfare. Since 1977, the intent has been to reach an agreement which, while permitting each the most advanced technologies for protection against a chemical attack, would prohibit production, stockpiling, and retention of toxic weapons. Twelve negotiation sessions have failed to produce an agreement on the issues of declaration of stocks, verification, and entry-in-force. The U.S. continued to adhere to its long-standing ōno first useö policy while maintaining a chemical warfare stockpile for deterrence and for retaliation, should deterrence fail.
The establishment of the Nuclear and Chemical Directorate on the Army staff, to oversee all nuclear and chemical matters, signaled an awareness of the impending threat of chemical warfare. Four chemical defense companies were activated for permanent duty with forces in Europe to improve the chemical defense posture.

In the 1967 film "A Guide for the Married Man," a husband, played by a peerless Walter Matthau, is given lessons in ways to cheat on his wife safely. The most essential rule: "Deny! Deny! Deny!"—no matter what. In an instructive scene, he's shown a wife undone by shock, and screaming, with reason: She has just walked in on her husband making love to a glamorous stranger.
"What are you doing," she wails, "who is that woman?"
"What woman, where?" the husband serenely counters, as he and the tart in question get out of bed and calmly dress.
So the scene proceeds, with the distraught wife pointing to the woman she clearly sees before her, while her husband, unruffled, continues to look blankly at her, asking, "What woman?" Confused by her spouse's unblinking assurance, she gives up. Two minutes later she's asking him what he'd like for dinner.
For much of the past four years, the Obama administration's propensity for asserting views of reality wildly at odds with those evident to most rational citizens has looked increasingly like a page from that film script.
All administrations conceal, falsify and tell lies—this is understood—but there's no missing the distinctive quality of the prevaricating issuing from the White House in these four years.
It's a quality on vivid display now in the administration's mesmerizing narrative of the assault on the U.S. consulate in Libya. Here's a memorable picture, its detail brutally illuminating, of Obama and company in crisis mode over their conflicting stories about who knew what when. The resulting costs to truth-telling and sanity, or even the appearance thereof, are clear. Nor can we forget the strong element of farce—think U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice on those five Sunday talk shows, reciting with unflagging fervor that official talking point regarding mob violence and a YouTube video. Farce, but no one is laughing.
Team Obama clung to its original story—the attack had come spontaneously at the hands of a mob enraged by that now famous video insulting to the Prophet—long after it was clear that it had been an organized terrorist assault by an al Qaeda affiliate. By Tuesday's debate, we saw a Barack Obama in high dudgeon over suggestions that his office might have deliberately misrepresented the facts. It was, he fumed, an intolerable insult that such charges could have been made about him, the president who had had to receive the bodies of the slain Americans—and who then had to set about getting to the bottom of this murderous terror assault.
Profound and urgent concerns indeed—which, the president neglected to say, had not prevented him from jetting off to his fundraiser in Las Vegas the day after the murders. His administration was not given to politicizing serious matters, the president sternly informed the nation in that second debate: "That's not what we do."

Yeah, it's late. Nearly too late I'd say to post a blog about last year's games, but not everything had been played yet. After putting together a small video of my top five favorite games, the Steam holiday sale kicked off and brought me a bunch of new games to play. These games were fantastic and deserved to be added to a list of the top games of the year. So here I am once again to tell about not five, but ten of the greatest games of the year since passed. I'm not sure exactly how much detail I'll go into per game, but just in case I'll put a spoiler warning here for anyone who might be a bit gun shy. Also some of the videos might include spoilers.
10. Team Fortress 2
Sure, the game debuted in 2007 as a part of the Orange Box. Over the course of the past five years, Team Fortress 2 is nearly unrecognizable compared to its humble beginnings. Valve has consistently delivered new content to the game, including new maps, weapons, and even new game types. When TF 2 launched it had two major game types and one map with a spin on control points. Now it boasts eight, all amazingly fun. Yes, the introduction of hats went on to become a great joke between naysayers and even some players of TF 2, but in the end the trading system was a beta for what has now become a way for Steam users to trade things beyond TF 2 items. TF 2 is one of the few games I can still return to years later and have a great time with friends or in a server of strangers.
9. Lone Survivor
I love horror games. The problem is that ever since this generation, great horror games have been few and far between. Leave it to the indie/small developer scene to bring us what's missing. Last year we had Amnesia, this year we have Hide, Slender, and games like Lone Survivor. Inspired greatly by Silent Hill, Lone Survivor follows a guy who wakes up in a post-apocalyptic world. His only goal is to connect with a group of survivors on the other side of the apartment building. But as you travel, things don't seem right. Your character's mental state is called into question several times. Is he imagining everything? Is it a dream? Is he just crazy? You need food and sleep to survive and without them things will only get worse. Soon you'll start holding conversations with a toy cat and dude who only ever wears a box on his head. Lone Survivor gives you everything you want from a horror game: great psychological scares, great gameplay, and a fantastic score.
8. Persona 4: Arena
I haven't played P4 Golden on the Vita yet. It's the one reason I want a Vita and Persona 4: Arena helped push me towards that. A sequel to the original Persona 4, the game takes place a few months later. Teddy has suddenly disappeared and the Midnight Channel has returned. When you reenter Teddy is no longer himself as he forces you to compete in a nasty tournament against your friends. The game is chock full of text, while fights themselves are few and far between. The can get tiresome occasionally, but when you finally get a battle the action is insane. The fighting system is complicated, but balanced. The art style is amazing and the anime cutscenes are gorgeous. Persona 4: Arena is easily one of the best fighting games of the year.
7. Halo 4
I remembered long ago when the first Halo came out on PC. I adored that game, but the magic seemed lost in future games. Opinions of Halo 4 made it seem like 343 Industries had figured out a way to bring that magic back. And for the most part, they did. While Halo 4 suffered from an awful villain and repeating itself one too many times, the game was a joy to play. I also really enjoyed the emphasis on Cortana and Chief's relationship, as well as Cortana's failing mental health. Sure the ending felt a bit "Wrath of Khan"-ish to me (meaning I expect Halo 5 to be "Search of Spock"), but it hit the right emotional cords.
6. XCOM: Enemy Unknown
I'm a big fan of turn-based strategy games. The problem with that is that there aren't many good ones around anymore. Welcome XCOM: Enemy Unknown. The base and resource management, on top of creating and nurturing your own soldiers, helped you spin your own narrative. Seeing a soldier you spent hours and hours on go down in the field of battle is heartbreaking. At the same time there's nothing more thrilling than watching your sniper get that shot that would otherwise cost you several lives, or even the mission. XCOM is the perfect game for letting the player create their own stories.
5. Borderlands 2
For the longest time, Borderlands 2 was my most anticipated game of the year. I'd loved the first game and couldn't wait to see how Gearbox would expand on the gameplay and story. I wasn't disappointed. The main story was longer and more fulfilling, there were new classes, new areas, and new guns. So many new guns. Not only that, the co-op was better than ever before. Killing things alongside people has never been more fun. Thankfully Gearbox has continued to support the game with awesome DLC and doesn't look to be stopping any time soon.
4. FTL: Faster Than Light
A simple little Kickstarter game, FTL's quaint art style is deceiving. Underneath the sprite-like art and amazing chiptune soundtrack is a game of depth. The game is brutal in how precise you must be and how one wrong move can cost you everything. FTL is a game that loves nothing more than to kick you while you're down. The best part though? When it's done, all you'll want to do is keep playing.
3. Sleeping Dogs
Yet another game I bought from the Steam sale, Sleeping Dogs was an unexpected bright light in my otherwise drab holiday. Sleeping Dogs' open world Hong Kong is a breath of fresh air. The game is filled with tons to do and it does nearly all of it flawlessly. Not only does the game look great, but it plays amazingly. Frankly it has the best driving controls I've seen in any game. Nothing is more fun than driving on your motorcycle in Hong Kong while it's raining, blasting your radio. Sometimes it's the simple things that count the most.
2. Hotline Miami
Hotline Miami tapped into the part of my brain that would love to give in those thoughts. Yeah, those thoughts. Never in a game have I enjoyed killing so much. Whether that was the intended message or not, Hotline Miami was a game I could not stop playing. It's try-die-try formula was addictive and completing an entire level, leaving untold amounts of carnage in your wake is the most satisfied I've felt in a game. With a superb soundtrack and a great art style that combined just oozed with the feeling of drugs and blood, Hotline Miami was one of those games that made you feel happy. And while you questioned it in the beginning, by the end you didn't even care.
1. The Walking Dead
Hotline Miami made me feel happy in a way I didn't think was possible in games. The Walking Dead brought out every other emotion. From hatred to sadness, the Walking Dead loved nothing more than to pull my emotional chain. I did all I could to protect Clementine and befriend Kenny. By the end, Kenny was my best friend and when he was gone I felt something. I felt loss. Kenny had been the one constant throughout the entirety of the Walking Dead. He was the guy I could count on to protect me if I needed it. Losing him was hard, but that was nothing compared to having to leave Clementine. She wasn't leaving me, I was leaving her, and the game made sure I felt terrible about it. It was unavoidable, nothing to do, except say goodbye. Something like that has never been so hard to do in a video game.
Many people suffered from awful framerates and even worse save glitches. That wasn't me. I had a perfect experience all the way through to the bitter end. There was nothing more than me sitting in front of my PC, feeling awful. Yet at the same time, it felt amazing. I couldn't believe that game had brought out these kind of emotions in me. I can only hope that the rest of the industry learns something from the Walking Dead and can bring the same emotional weight to their games.
CallSignStarbucks likes to pretend like he has a clue, but in reality he's making it up as he goes. It's kind of like Twitter. Speaking of Twitter, here's mine: @Peter_Freeman See? I just made that up as I wrote. Classic.

IT was a delicate operation on a critically ill patient that required an experienced surgeon with an exceptionally steady hand. During a storm at sea, at the height of the Korean War, a Royal Canadian Navy surgeon, Joseph Cyr, was called upon to operate on a patient with a bullet lodged close to his heart. As the ship swayed, the surgeon, fortified by doses of rum, made the incision and, using forceps, successfully retrieved the bullet from the pericardial sac. He then operated on other patients with similarly serious combat wounds.
The story of the heroic surgeon saving lives in the storm attracted rapturous media coverage back in Canada, until a man claiming to be the real Dr Cyr came forward. It turned out the miraculous operations at sea had been performed by Ferdinand Waldo Demara, an American with no medical qualifications. During his long career as an impostor, he had also posed as a psychologist, dentist, college professor, prison warden and Trappist monk.
Demara, whose extraordinary life as a fake was portrayed in a 1961 Hollywood biopic, The Great Impostor, starring the late Tony Curtis, is just one of countless charlatans who have posed as health professionals. Although all the major professions - including lawyers, police, teachers and the clergy - have had their share of impostors, the healing arts seem especially attractive to fake doctors and nurses and bogus treatments.
Australia, certainly, has had no shortage of medical impostors. On September 27 an exclusive report by the Herald's Kate McClymont revealed that an Australian man with criminal convictions for falsely claiming to be a doctor had conned his way into one of the most prestigious medical schools in Britain.
Vitomir Zepinic gained a position as a senior lecturer in psychiatry in the unit for social and community psychiatry at Barts and the London School of Medicine and Dentistry. Zepinic, who was placed on a good behaviour bond by a Sydney magistrate in 2008 after being convicted of falsely claiming to be a doctor, held the position in London for five months before his deception was exposed. The simplest Google search would have instantly revealed his shady past in NSW.
The unmasking of Zepinic follows the conviction earlier this year of Balaji Varatharaju, a former medical student who pleaded guilty in the Northern Territory Supreme Court to three counts of forgery, three counts of criminal deception and one count of aggravated assault. Varatharaju, who treated more than 400 patients while working as an intern at Alice Springs Hospital, claimed to have qualified at the University of Adelaide, although official records showed he had never completed his degree course, and indeed was expelled for forging a lecturer's signature in an attempt to turn the grade on a research paper he wrote from an E to a B.
The desire to be seen as a member of a prestigious and well-paid profession is no doubt a motivation for medical impostors. It may also be that they are deluded into thinking they are acting out of altruism. At Varatharaju's trial, Justice Jenny Blokland reportedly said the accused was ''motivated in your fraudulent activity to help people in the community rather than hurt anyone''.
The first requirement for effective lying is for the liar to convince him or herself.
Clearly adept at deception, if not self-deception, are two of the most notorious Australian serial impostors, each of whom has posed at some time as a doctor. The convicted conman Barry John Faulkner at various times in his transnational criminal career pretended to be a CIA agent, an Olympic official, Mike Nesmith from the Monkees and a gynaecologist. In 1968, aged 19, Faulkner was arrested at Royal Brisbane Hospital and pleaded guilty to sexual assault for conducting examinations on pregnant women.
Another notorious Australian impostor, Donald James Joseph Cameron, has been caught impersonating a QC, a banker and an archbishop. Cameron, who has spent more than 20 years in prison for various frauds, began his career as a conman when, in 1979, he pretended to be Dr Patrick Thompson. The fake GP opened a clinic in Cronulla where he attempted to operate on an unsuspecting patient.
ANY success those few fake doctors have in hiding among the genuine is due partly to the fact that patients, in their vulnerable state, generally do not think to question credentials.
As well as being the most deceptive species on the planet, humans are also the most trusting. That innate trust we have in other people is strengthened by a sense of normality. As Derek Cooper points out in The Gullibility Gap, there is a certain script doctors follow when examining and treating patients that is easy to mimic and provides the reassurance of ritual.
Police, lawyers and teachers are also associated with protocols, processes and premises. Projecting a bedside manner may require some acting skill, but anyone can obtain a stethoscope and medical paraphernalia, and impressive-looking certificates stating non-existent qualifications are easily forged.
Some impostors go even further to convince victims of their bona fides. Timothy Syed Andersson posed as a world-renowned physician in the Bay Area of San Francisco. The San Francisco Chronicle reported that ''Dr Syed'' was alleged to have claimed on his website that his dermatology practice had treated celebrities such as Julia Roberts and Elizabeth Hurley, with whom he was shown in photographs said to have been digitally altered.
We tend to trust doctors, especially when they tell us what we want to hear. Health, like wealth, is an area in our lives where it can be hard to maintain critical thinking. The promise of a magic cure to what might be a serious condition is, understandably, enticing. Perhaps there is a parallel to the lure of easy money that snares fresh victims in Ponzi schemes and other scams. As always with hoaxes, if it sounds too good to be true it probably is.
