Gears Of War 3 review
When Epic turned its unreal talents to the third-person shooter almost five years ago, it got a hell of a lot right on the first attempt. A well-realised cover system that demanded tactical thinking and flanking trickery; an over-the-shoulder perspective that gave the chunky gunplay a gritty and gory edge; an Active Reload system that rewarded dedicated players with Bemani-style benefits; and chainsaw bayonets that meant close quarters combat was often viable and always deadly. All these elements combined to make the original Gears Of War not only a chiselled milestone of modern gaming, but also one of the greatest success stories of the current generation.
But this unprecedented success had a knock-on effect, as by raising the bar so high Epic was left with the unenviable task of trying to top something which already felt complete, so rather than tampering with the award winning formula, Gears Of War 2 turned out to be a methodical fine tuning with improved visuals, tightened gameplay and a few new modes to keep us playing – even after the storyline had reached its cliffhanger conclusion. This allowed Gears 2 to subtly surpass its predecessor while retaining its grizzled charm and bombastic brilliance, and in more ways than one, Gears Of War 3 follows the same 'if it isn't broke don't fix it' mantra by offering a satisfying if unsurprising conclusion to Delta Squad's war against the Locust Horde.
The Campaign mode picks up a year and a half after the last game and sees Marcus, Dominic, Anya and Jace – from the Gears Of War comic book series – picking up the pieces aboard the CNV Sovereign. The silence doesn't last for long, because no sooner has Marcus discovered that his father is still alive and being held captive than the rickety warship is ambushed by a horde of Lambent which forces the COG squad to cock their Lancers while crouching behind some conveniently placed cover. What follows is a business-as-usual trek across five pleasingly long acts as the team unravels the mystery behind the Lambent as well as the fate of Adam Fenix and the Locust Queen.
Also on grub-hunting manoeuvres are the tech savvy Baird and everybody's favourite Thrashball player, Augustus 'Cole Train' Cole, who at the start of the game are teamed with Samantha, who first appeared in the Gear of War novels, and Clayton, a COG veteran who may (or may not) buck the trend of the unfortunate Carmine family after his two brothers bought the farm in Gears 1 and 2. This influx of new and familiar faces, which includes sniper extraordinaire Bernie and space cowboy Dizzy, comes hand-in-hand with the expanded four player co-op – meaning three teammates rather than one will watch your six as you push the assault forwards.
And with Delta Squad now composed of more burly marines and not-so dainty dames – all of who wisecrack and trash talk as they butcher their way across fortresses, burned-out cities and crumbling churches – it's immediately clear that Gears has retained its unique brand of machismo humour. The kind where, upon seeing what can only be described as a Locust zeppelin, someone immediately shouts, 'Big slow target full of gas – is it my birthday?' And yet despite a conveyor belt of cheesy quips, the pathway to the trilogy's end is perpetuated by a few emotional moments. Nothing quite as strong as Dominic's encounter with his tortured wife, but there is one scene where a Tears For Fears (in Gears) ballad plays out in remorseful force.
As well paced as the story is, however, it's safe to say that most people play Gears for the duck and cover firefights rather than the standard fare script, and in this regard, Gears 3 keeps its crown as 'king of the third-person cover shooter' with only Vanquish offering a comparably accomplished alternative. Indeed, the ebb and flow of combat is exactly as you remember it, with mad dashes between vantage points as you hide from enemy fire while taking pot-shots in a parade of whack-a-mole ballistics. And all the iconic armaments, including the Torque Bow, Boltok Pistol and Hammer of Dawn, make a welcome return – in addition to some equally destructive alternatives.
The most gratifying of these is undoubtedly the Digger, as while the Boomshot functions as a typical grenade launcher, the Digger has the opposite effect as it jettisons a piranha mole that tunnels underground with a proximity payload strapped to its tail. Humanity has also upped the ante with the Vulcan Cannon; a portable Gatling gun that can be operated by two players for speedier ammo delivery, and the appropriately titled One-Shot; a futuristic anti-material rifle that can punch through a Mauler's Boom Shield. There's even a new Incendiary Grenade that can instantly kill a Drone on direct impact and a claymore-sized Cleaver that can be dragged around, Pyramid Head-style.
Accompanying the military surplus is a handful of new enemy types. Some of these, like the Digger-rocking Savage Boomer, are variations on the classic Locust classes, while others, like the football-sized Shriekers that combine dual machineguns with the ability to hover, are entirely new to the battlefield. But it's the infected Lambent who've learned the most new tricks, as not only do they spawn from sinister looking Stalks that sprout from the ground, their mutated ranks now include new monstrosities like the Gunker – a living mortar with stretchy limbs that conjures up thoughts of Code Veronica's Bandersnatch. And while we're being nostalgic, there's also a new threat – introduced at the halfway point – that's reminiscent of the original Halo in the way it places sudden emphasis on the shotgun.
But relying on buckshot won't serve you in the boss battles, as while the new bullet sponges are measured in terms of semidetached houses rather than skyscrapers, as a collective they pose a solid if not especially numerous challenge. Indeed, there are four or so encounters that can be ranked as fully-fledged showdowns and, of these, only the last two are entirely new entries to the Gears Of War bestiary. The rest are either new takes on familiar faces – including the reappearance of an angry arachnid that uses its spidery legs as a shield – or the mutagenic result of an old boss going Lambent, which is exactly what happens with the stampede-happy Berserker.
Another aspect of the formula to make an expected return is the obligatory vehicle sections. These began in Gears 1 with the underwhelming APC spotlight, progressed to the Reaver and Brumak hijacks in Gears 2 and culminate in a few on-the-rails shootouts in Gears 3. These are less intrusive and include a mad dash in a COG jeep, as well as an underwater expedition in an armoured submersible with 'there's always a bigger fish' moments. The transportation highlight, however, comes courtesy of the Silverback mech, which sports both Gatling guns and rocket launchers. Although if you really want to make an impression, you can tell the Locust to get away from your freshly dug ditch as you pilot a Mechanical Loader – which is only available in yellow, obviously.
The Silverback mech also makes its way into the returning Horde mode. This offers the same wave marathon as before, but rather than hammering in the tent pegs with four teammates and building a graveyard of Boom Shields, the revised Horde now has a tower defence dynamic that works not too dissimilarly from Call of Duty Zombies. You gain money by killing the alternating waves of Locust and Lambent, and once your coffers have reached a certain level, you can blow the budget on everything from command posts and barriers, to turrets and ammunition caches. This gives an already excellent mode some additional depth and adds to Gears 3's versatility as an online multiplayer experience.
The new Beast mode is, therefore, the icing on the cake. It places you in the size 20 boots of the Locust Horde, but rather than limited to a few basic Drones, Beast mode opens up the ranks of the Locust Horde and asks you to pay in human blood – with a few drops bagging you a lowly Wretch and pints needed for an Armored Kantus. This turns the survival dynamic on its head, as rather than playing defensively, the focus is on rushing down and wiping out the opposition within a strict time limit. And although the early waves ease you in gently with poorly equipped civilians, it isn't long before Delta Squad is causing you all kinds of grief.
But as brutal as clearing wave 50 on Insane will undoubtedly be, the real test of skill comes from matching wits with another five-man team in the revamped online Versus. Returning game modes include the round based Warzone, the coup-de-grace centric Execution and the two man teams of Wingman. Submission and Guardian have also been replaced by the self explanatory and noticeably more intense Capture the Leader, while the new Team Deathmatch and King of the Hill modes offer traditional alternatives that were much needed. Epic has also gone to town with an extensive list of Ribbons and Medals that are earned by performing feats and reaching milestones on the ten new multiplayer maps – all of which are pleasingly varied.
Taken as a package, Gears Of War 3 is a hard game to criticise, as while it has its fair share of minor niggles – including the way in which the four player co-op makes being downed in the Campaign less of an issue, and the appearance of some optional stealth sections which feel out of place – everything else feels polished to an exceptionally high standard. We also have to commend Epic for steering the story away from the set-piece gauntlet of the last game, as while Delta Squad has to tackle its fair share of behemoths, it's less about exploring the entrails of a Rift Worm and more about getting back to the heated gun battles which made the original so enjoyable.
And yet, stood side by side with its predecessors, this third and final hurrah is less a dramatically pitched revolution and more a masterfully sculpted evolution, as while the graphical depth, online functionality and cover mechanics are some of the best in the business, when contrasted with Gears 2, they're incremental steps rather than thundering leaps. But even though its accomplishments are awesome in an obvious kind of way, the long list of subtle improvements combine to make Gears 3 as spectacular today as both the first and second were in the past. And after the end credits have been and gone after hours of curb-stomping and roadie running, there's one fact that's undeniably clear. No one hammers home the third-person cover shooter quite like Epic.

Hard on the heels of Reserve Bank governor Ian Macfarlane's warning last week of inter-generational conflict over wealth has come another gloomy outlook for poor, young Generation X.
The so-called unlucky generation has a palpably smaller share of household wealth than their baby-boomer counterparts and they are less likely to own their own home or have a mortgage, said the National Centre for Social and Economic Modelling (NATSEM).
"One of the most worrying things we discovered was the share of total wealth held by 25- to 39-year-olds has declined from about 27 per cent in 1986 to just 19 per cent today," said NATSEM director, Ann Harding.
Home ownership was the main factor, Professor Harding said. In 1989, 64 per cent of this age category (25- to 39-year-olds) either owned their home outright or were paying it off.
But 10 years later, home ownership in the age group had slipped to 54 per cent, although NATSEM conceded that Australia still had a relatively high rate of home ownership compared to most industrialised countries. It also noted that, despite the marketing hype about different "generations", the baby-boomer group (4.1 million Australians) born between 1946 and 1961 was actually smaller than the Generation X group (4.5 million) which has followed it.
Neither is strictly a generation, which is normally regarded as taking 25 years to regenerate.
The NATSEM research found that one of the characteristics of the Generation X group was its greater reluctance to leave the family home. In 1999, 9 per cent of this age group were still living at home, compared to 7 per cent a decade earlier. Even at age 30-34, there were still 7 per cent of present-day Generation X-ers living at home.
The figures were used yesterday by the report's sponsor - the beleaguered AMP financial services group enduring its own identity crisis - to highlight what it called the unfairness facing Generation X-ers.
AMP's managing director, Craig Dunn, said baby boomers had not done enough to provide for their own retirements.
"This report shows younger Australians simply can't afford to carry the tax burden of paying full price for millions of baby boomers who haven't saved enough for their retirement. It's not fair," Mr Dunn said.
The report also pointed to the role of higher education debt contributing to Generation X-ers' "dramatic deferral" of having children, especially notable among women in the group with university degrees compared to those who had simply completed high school.
However, the study did not compare university-educated women who had accrued HECS debts with university-educated women without such debts.
A research fellow at the Centre for Independent Studies, Andrew Norton, said whether or not they had university debts, women with degrees had lower birth rates than women without degrees.
"Since 1987, more females than men have been going to uni, and the pool of educated men is shrinking [relatively] - the problem being that . . . while educated men are quite happy to marry the receptionist, educated women seem to be more fussy," Mr Norton said.
Professor Harding's figures on single women support the fussy-factor theory. Less than one in 10 women with no university qualifications were single, she said. Looking at women in the same age group but with degrees, "almost one in five were single".

Do the Air Hogs Havoc Helis Keep As quite a few as Their Standing?
Air Hogs Havoc, Helix, Stingers or Twin Thunder RC Helis are extremely preferred distant managed helicopters http://www.pdbattery.com. But are they residing close to their standing?
The air hogs rc helicopters are classed for being a toy-grade, which might be electric powered indoor rc helis and geared toward the age group of 8-12 and more experienced. The bulk on the air hogs rc helis are specified an intermediate skill flight grading because of the producer.
Traveling is not essentially truly tricky nonetheless it really typically will take workout and tolerance. Despite the fact that hovering is give up rapid the human body form of a lot of of the forms can make it much less responsive to the controls. But there is yet another component that provides several people today quite a few discouraging periods just about every time they fly their rc heli in your initial time.
When individuals fly the air hogs rc helicopter on the really first time it only wishes to fly in circles. This results in a lot of concerns of pleading support throughout the numerous rc heli discussion boards available. Commonly the issue lies together with the individuals by on their own considering the fact that they forget about to examine the guidelines certainly inside their enjoyment of looking for to fly the air hogs heli as swiftly as is possible.
The important part within the guidelines ought to explain that you just definitely have to have to generate slight alterations for that propellers a variety of cases right right up until you may be contented with how the helicopter flies and controls. In certain scenarios it specifications slightly calibration far too, but ordinarily try to be incredibly great to go and possess many fulfilling flying your to begin with air hogs havoc rc heli.
An important thought in advance of buying need to be to find out the level of regulate you require of your distant controlled helicopter. Whenever you are willing to expend much extra income then you really can opt for amongst the four way managed air hogs rc helis. Which implies mainly flying indoors is easier so that you contain the power to deliver a ton a great deal more stunts employing your heli also.
Another point to help keep in mind will be the battery fly time of almost all of these helis aren't really prolonged. You need to do have the selection of selecting just one that has a made in Lipo battery, that has a for much longer fly time then the other kinds. It certainly is in some cases attainable to change the heli to have the ability to increase for your lipo battery later on on for individuals who want.
The final assessment on the air hogs rc helis will be that the human entire body type and style just is just not usually extremely highly effective, although they are bringing some variations available which have a unique system type which is a terrific offer stronger. I feel that the benefit of use or normal overall performance is nice by utilizing an exceptionally little use, however, if you happen to be looking for substantial time frame enjoyment then probably this is not for you personally personally.

By Sharon L. Peters, Special for USA TODAY
An aging Missouri animal shelter has won the second annual Zootoo Shelter Makeover contest sponsored by Zootoo.com.
The Central Missouri Humane Society in Columbia, Mo., won an online vote by "a wide margin," says Zootoo founder Richard Thompson, and will receive up to $1 million in goods, services, and/or cash.
"This will help us make an enormous difference in the quality of life of the animals we care for," says Patty Forister, executive director of CMHS, which took in 7,500 animals for re-homing last year.
The CMHS facility was built in 1978, "when about half as many animals were coming in as is the case today," Forister says. The shelter is too small, there are ventilation and flooding problems, and the win, she says, means many goals — from creating a cat area away from the dogs to reduce feline stress to expanding space for dogs and creating an isolation area so illnesses aren't spread — will be tackled.
The second and third highest vote-getters were Butte Humane Society in Chico, Calif., and the Jefferson County SPCA in Watertown, N.Y., which get $50,000 and $25,000 respectively.
Nearly 2,000 shelters entered the competition, earning "points" when supporters signed up for Zootoo, posted pictures or reviewed products. The top 20 point-earners were visited by Zootoo representatives, who chose 10 for the national voting.
A dispute between last year's winner, Stray Rescue of St. Louis, and Zootoo, made public earlier this month, was resolved last week with both sides blaming a "misunderstanding."
Wealthy entrepreneur Thompson created the contest, he says, because "much of the population doesn't fully understand or appreciate the issues shelter employees and volunteers go through to care for pets on a daily basis," and the competition "increases shelter visibility and community support."

Trader Joe's Gluten Free 3 Cheese Pizza is quite good, and it comes at a great price. Its gluten free crust (made with rice, potato, and tapioca) is topped with a bright and flavorful tomato sauce, fresh Roma tomato slices, and a blend of three cheeses - Provolone, Mozzarella, and Manchego. If you adhere to a gluten free diet, this is the pizza you've been waiting for, and if you don't adhere to such a strict eating plan, you'll just enjoy it because it's darn good 'za.
We're selling each 11 ounce Gluten Free 3 Cheese Pizza for $4.99, a phenomenal value for a very delicious pizza. You'll find it in our freezers.

The sight of a tobacconist's shop charmed one of his more immediate difficulties to sleep.
Down below the cabman and tobacconist were engaged in conversation.
There were three men, a tobacconist, a carpenter and a mason, and they each had a thousand francs of savings.
And the tobacconist was left alone in his shop, smoking gravely.
The sole immediate result was that Priam changed his tobacconist, and the direction of his promenades.
"Two weeks less for lodgings," she thought, as she returned to the tobacconist's.
"I wish I had got off with five pounds, sir," sighed the tobacconist; and his wife echoed the sigh with hopeless resignation.
It is inevitable that I give you the impression that I am in love with the tobacconist's wife.
Two small boys walking down Tottenham Court Road, passed a tobacconist's shop.
A moment ago I said the other woman, the tobacconist's wife, went with me.

Will Angelenos fight to save LA? – Draiman
Mayoral and City Council races for Los Angeles are around the corner, Angelenos who wonder how and if any of the mayoral contenders are able to save our city and can keep the city of Los Angeles out of bankruptcy.
Why would anyone with a sound mind elect any of the insiders; they have been in LA City Hall for over ten years and have brought the city of LA to its current crisis, they have failed the people, they do not deserve a chance to destroy our city further.
Angelenos have a chance to replace about seventy percent of the current elected officials at LA City Hall. Let us take advantage and elect a new breed of leaders with fresh ideas and no allegiance to the political machine or the special interests groups.
During elections, there are many words spoken that usually fail to produce action, and after elections the need to see action is by far more important than mere words. But the challenges and hopes, and the failures, established by the lackluster eight years of Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa cannot be ignored. The City of Los Angeles is now in its worst economic and financial condition since the 1930's.
Many people and businesses are leaving the city. The people of LA have lost their trust in the government and the various special interests groups that are milking the city
Los Angeles needs a strong innovative leader who can unify the various factions in the city, and form a unified cohesive force to overcome the current crisis and dissention. Every faction must be willing to compromise or we are doomed.
We must put all our differences aside and it is imperative that we all work together for the betterment of the city and its population. We have a saleable product; let us promote it, market it and sell it.
After all it is a government by the people for the people.
YJ Draiman

The Passage of Nature
The concept of Process is often used but seldom, if ever, discussed. In this book, Dorothy Emmet looks at how a process differs from a succession of events, facts, or even just things changing. She delineates three kinds of process, or 'goings on' artificial, as in the building of a house; natural, as in physiological changes; and, social, as in human political activities. Emmet claims that Causation is best seen in terms of processes. She describes the general characteristics of what it is to be a process as well as the special characteristics of organic and social processes, and explains why it is profitable to think of them as processes. Finally, she explores the possible significance of the notion of process for morals and religion and proposes what might be called 'providential processes'.As her title suggests, the author acknowledges the influence of an early interest in Alfred North Whitehead's philosophy of process and she critically discusses some of his views. But this is not an exegesis of Whitehead; it is an original metaphysics in which the passage of nature is seen as carried on through the activities, sometimes creative, of things and persons sustaining processes, while at the same time some of them form a distinct kind of particular called a 'thing-in-process'. Author note: Dorothy Emmet is Professor Emeritus of Philosophy at the University of Manchester.

Challenging the remarks of Frank Loeser, a member of the Wickersham Commission on Law Enforcement, who stated in an address at the University of Iowa that Jews and Italians, not the "real Americans", furnish the gangsters of this country, Congressman Emanuel Celler of New York in a letter to Mr. Loeser declares that the latter's remarks in this connection are false, display prejudice and will do incalculable harm.
Congressman Celler's letter to Mr. Loeser is as follows:
"In the course of your remarks at the University of Iowa on June 30th you said: 'The real Americans are not gangsters. Recent immigrants and the first generation of Jews and Italians are chief offenders, with the Jews furnishing the brains and the Italians the brawn.'
"Such slanders cannot go unchallenged. They are utterly false. Burke told us many years ago that you cannot bring an indictment against a whole people. Jews and Italians are naturally entitled to their proportion of ne'er-do-wells. So are the Germans, the English, the Mayflower descendants. Americans have no monopoly upon virtue. Forbes, Sinclair, Doheny and Daugherty prove that. The Americans Major Campbell and U. S. Attorney Tuttle of New York, are now accusing each other of Prohibition wrongs, far more important than your ridiculous aspersions upon Jews and Italians. You would not put a bar sinister upon Americans as a class because these men are accused of wrong-doing.
"Why do you single out Jews and Italians, just because a comparatively few of these people are gangsters? What of the vast preponderating majority of law-abiding and industrious Jews and Italians? Jews, for example, furnished more soldiers in the World War than any other class in proportion to their total number.
"Your statement will do incalculable harm. You display a prejudice that disqualifies you as a member of the Wickersham Commission. I, for one, shall surely oppose extension of its activities beyond Prohibition. You cannot impartially gauge crime data. Furthermore, your statements are downright 'wicked' and 'sham,' like the Commission of which you are a member."

It has long been known that spectacular blue flashes--a type of bioluminescence--that are visible at night in some marine environments (currently including coastal California waters) are caused by tiny, unicellular plankton known as dinoflagellates. However, a new study has, for the first time, detailed the potential mechanism for this bioluminescence.
The study, which was partially funded by the National Science Foundation, is reported by Susan Smith of Emory School of Medicine, Thomas DeCoursey of Rush University Medical Center and colleagues in the Oct. 17, 2011 issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS).
A key aspect of the potential mechanism for bioluminescence in dinoflagellates proposed in the PNAS study involves voltage-gated proton channels--channels in membranes that can be opened or closed by chemical or electrical events.
J. Woodland Hastings, a member of the Smith and DeCoursey research team and an author of the PNAS article, suggested the presence of voltage-gated proton channels in dinoflagellates almost forty years ago.
But the Smith and Decoursey team only recently confirmed them by the identification and subsequent testing of dinoflagellate genes that are similar to genes for voltage-gated proton channels that had previously been identified in humans, mice and sea squirts.
According to the study, here is how the light-generating process in dinoflagellates may work: As dinoflagellates float, mechanical stimulation generated by the movement of surrounding water sends electrical impulses around an internal compartment within the organism, called a vacuole--which holds an abundance of protons. (See accompanying illustration.)
These electrical impulses open so-called voltage-sensitive proton channels that connect the vacuole to tiny pockets dotting the vacuole membrane, known as scintillons.
Once opened, the voltage-sensitive proton channels may funnel protons from the vacuole into the scintillons. Protons entering the scintillons then activate luciferase--a protein, which produces flashes of light, that is stored in scintillons.
Flashes of light produced by resulting luciferase activation would be most visible during blooms of dinoflagellates.
The red tide that is currently flashing off some California waters is almost certainly generated by dinoflagellates.
Although the California species may be different from those included in this study, their mechanism for triggering flashes is believed to operate by the same mechanism.
This research illuminates the novel mechanisms underlying a beautiful natural phenomenon in our oceans, and enhances our understanding of dinoflagellates--some of which can produce toxins that are harmful to the environment.

Seaweed records show impact of ocean warming
London, UK (SPX) Nov 01, 2011
As the planet continues to warm, it appears that seaweeds may be in especially hot water. New findings reported online on October 27 in Current Biology, a Cell Press publication, based on herbarium records collected in Australia since the 1940s suggest that up to 25 percent of temperate seaweed species living there could be headed to extinction. The study helps to fill an important gap in ... read more

The paint group's first deadline for acceptance passed with major shareholders still refusing to take the offer price and the Alesco board recommending against it.
Dulux on Tuesday extended its $2 per share bid for Alesco until July 20, and could extend further. The paints group had made its intial bid for Alesco on May 1 but the target company's board rejected the offer on June 12.
However, Dulux boss
Despite expectations from Alesco's institutional shareholders and analysts that Dulux would probably increase its offer, Mr Houlihan said the group would proceed in a disciplined manner, even if it meant being stuck with a 19.96 per cent stake, he said. Dulux has not announced any changes to its Alesco shareholding, highlighting that the majority of remaining Alesco holders seem to be holding out for a higher offer.
Alesco shareholder, Constellation Capital portfolio manager Richard Morris, said the fund manager's decision to wait had not changed.
"We knew Dulux was going to play hard ball, it is all part of these deals," he said. "I don't think anything's really changed [from our perspective]."
However, Deutsche Bank said despite the expected stalemate over the value of Alesco, Dulux's $2 per share offer could become more appealing as more bad news about the housing market emerges.
"Given Australian housing market conditions continue to deteriorate, the longer Dulux is able to extend the offer period, the more attractive the bid may look," Deutsche Bank research associate John Hynd said.
However, the broker said it would not be surprised if Dulux increased the offer to gain board approval, given it has not been declared "final" by the paint maker. Alesco was said to be taking a "business as usual" approach to Dulux's extension.
Alesco shares closed 1¢ higher yesterday at $2.02 a share while Dulux shares fell 7¢ to $2.99.

Even in death, L'Wren Scott could not escape being referred to as "Mick Jagger's girlfriend."
News that the successful fashion designer was found dead at her Manhattan apartment on Monday has shocked the fashion world and angered Twitter users, with media reports making primary reference to her as the date-mate of The Rolling Stones frontman.
Scott, 47, and Jagger, 70, had been romantically involved since 2001.
In recent years, Scott had come into her own as a prominent fashion designer whose frocks were worn by such high-profile clients as Oprah Winfrey, Michelle Obama, Penelope Cruz and Christina Hendricks.
But according to many Twitter users, the tragedy is already being made worse by media outlets uniformly using the phrase "Mick Jagger's girlfriend" in their coverage of Scott's death.
With rare exception, every media organization reporting Scott's untimely death (including this one, in a different turn of phrase) employed Jagger's name in the headline. Even the venerable Los Angeles Times went that route with their headline: "L'Wren Scott, designer and girlfriend of Mick Jagger, found dead."
Some others:
BBC: Mick Jagger's girlfriend L'Wren Scott found dead
Huffington Post: Mick Jagger's Girlfriend, L'Wren Scott, Dead: Designer Found Hanging In Apartment
ABC News: Mick Jagger' Girlfriend, L'Wren Scott, Found Dead in NYC
New York Daily News: L'Wren Scott dead at 47: Fashion designer, model and Mick Jagger girlfriend found hanged
Toronto Sun: Mick Jagger's girlfriend found dead
Rolling Stone: Mick Jagger's Girlfriend L'Wren Scott Found Dead in New York Apartment
Not surprisingly, many of the tweets criticizing the media's single-minded coverage of Scott's death came from female Twitter users.
Shortly after hearing the news, New York entertainment publicist Amy Pfister (@amy_pfister) took Rolling Stone magazine to task for using the Jagger descriptor with her tweet, "That's headline/tweet you've got Rolling Stone!? L'Wren Scott was an accomplished designer. Upon her tragic death, she's someone's girlfriend."
Which was more or less the same opinion expressed in this tweet from Washington journalist Jenny Rogers (@jennyrogersDC): "Cannot believe news orgs are referring to L'Wren Scott as 'Mick Jagger's girlfriend' in their headlines. She was a well-known designer and model."
Or this tweet from Kim Bellware (@bellwak): "L'Wren scott was an acclaimed fashion designer. That she was Mick Jagger's girlfriend shouldn't be the lede in her obit."
From Abbie Ruzicka (@AbbieRuzicka): "Before L'Wren Scott was known as 'Mick Jagger's girlfriend,' she was known as a designer with a pretty damn successful career."
Or this poignant observation from Alex Alvarez (@soalexgoes): "This story is about her. And she was a person who had accomplished much in life. In this case, Mick Jagger is 'L'Wren Scott's boyfriend'."
And although it isn't likely to make any aggrieved parties feel better, the death of Scott has prompted at least one classy response, in the form of a straightforward tweet from American fashion designer Marc Jacobs (@MarcJacobsIntl): "Rest in peace, L'Wren Scott. You'll forever be missed."
Even Mr. Jagger would undoubtedly approve.Report Typo/Error

Claire Messud's new novel, The Burning Girl, feels somehow different from anything she's done before...
Condition: Standard
All Product Details
It was driving her crazy, to let that box sit there on the small credenza beside her desk and not open it. Roseleen White could have sworn she had more wilIpower than that, but apparently not when it came to her one and only passion. She still. tried to ignore it, and the fact that she was glancing over at it every few minutes.
Tune was getting away from her. She had to finish grading her students' papers tonight. Ordinarily, she would have taken the papers home with her, but she wasn't going home tonight. She was driving straight from the campus to her friend Gail's house, where she was spending -the weekend. And she wasn't coming in on Monday either. A long-delayed dentist appointment had seen to that, so she had to leave the papers in her desk for the substitute to hand out on Monday.
The next three days had been perfectly scheduled, which was the way she liked her life to be. She hadn't counted on the delivery notice in her mailbox when she'd arrived home yesterday that said the long-awaited box had finally arrived from England, or the emergency last night when she'd had to take her neighbor Carol to the hospital, which had kept her from grading the papers.
She'd stopped by the post office to collect the box on the way to the campus that morning and had even stuck scissors in her purse so she could open it immediately. But again, she hadn't counted on the long line at the post office that ended up giving her only enough time to get to her first class without being late. And she hadn't found a free moment since when she could have satisfied her curiosity.
Fridays were always her busiest days, with three classes in a row and the inevitable questions after eachsession from those students who didn't have to rush to their nextclass. She'd also had meetings today when she'd had to inform two of her students that they were failing the semester Then, just when she thought she'd have enough time to grab a quick dinner and to open the box before she tackled the grading, the dean had sent for her.
She was still simmering over that meeting. Dean Johnson had said he wanted to break the news to her gently, before she heard it elsewhere, that Barry Horton was being offered tenure. Barry was the biggest disaster of her life, proof positive that a woman could be naive and gullible at any age. He was going to be her equal now.
The dean had been very diplomatic about it, but the gist of his summons was to tell her he hoped she wouldn't cause any trouble about it, that she wouldn't renew her old allegations against Barry. As if she would bring all that humiliation back to suffer through it again.
Now she was hungry, angry about Barry's undeserved good fortune, and unable to concentrate on the papers in front of her because that box was sitting there tempting her to open it. It had come down to a test of strength. She wasn't going to open it until the last exam paper was graded and ... and to hell with that.
Antique weapons were her passion, the only thing that interested her besides medieval history, which was her field of expertise. Her father had collected them, an unusual hobby for a small-town reverend, and she'd inherited his collection when he died, and was slowly adding to it as she could afford to do so. Each time she visited England, she spent about as much time in antique shops as she did researching the book she was writing on the Normanconquest.
She'd brought the long box into her classroom only because she hadn't wanted to leave it in her car -- or out of her sight, actually. She'd waited too long for its arrival. Three years of tracking down the owner after she'd first heard of the existence of Blooddrinker's Curse, the elation in finding out the ancient sword was for sale and that it wouldn't be sold at auction, where she knew the price would soar out of her reach. Then the frustration in trying to deal with Sir Isaac Dearborn, the eccentric owner Another four months had passed in haggling over the price and the particulars, all of which she hadn't been personally involved in, because Dearborn simply wouldn't sell to her.
"No woman may own Blooddrinker's Curse," she'd been told at her initial inquiry, and without an explanation. Dearborn wouldn't even answer her subsequent calls and letters. But David, her dearest David, the brother of her heart if not her blood, who had been orphaned as a child and taken in by her family, had taken up the gauntlet for her And after four months and finally agreeing to Dearborn's unusual demands, David had managed the purchase.
She had been ecstatic when he'd called her from England to tell her he would be shipping the sword home to her, then amazed when he'd added, "You cant reimburse me, Rosie. I had to sign a sworn affidavit that I would never sell the sword, or even bequeath it, to a woman. Nothing was said, however, about simply giving it away, so consider this your birthday present -- for the next fifty years.
Considering what the sword had cost, which would have taken every bit of her savings, plus a loan for another twenty thousand, she was definitely in David'sdebt, even if he had been joking about it being a birthday present. The cost of the sword was nothing to him, for he had married an heiress who adored him and lavished her wealth on him. His wife, Lydia, collected houses -- mansions, actually -- the way Roseleen collected weapons.
Prim and beautiful professor Roseleen White clutches her new prized profession - a thousand-year-old Scandinavian sword. And suddenly, a dream stands before her: a magnificent Viking warrior sworn to satisfy Roseleen's every desire.
Until forever.
Accursed for untold centuries, mighty Thorn is now enslaved to a woman. Yet it is Roseleen who is the true prisoner, held willing captive by a handsome barbarian who sweeps her back to the ancient past on a journey of sensual discovery. But only by banishing him from her life forever can Roseleen free Thorn from immortality's chains - forcing her to make a devastating choice that will either imperil their future or preserve a love more powerful than time.

Woodward calls Rumsfeld's book 'a brazen effort to shift blame to others'
Donald Rumsfeld's "Known and Unknown" is "one big clean-up job" that "tries to push so much off on [George W.] Bush," writes Bob Woodward. "That is fair because Bush made the ultimate decisions. But the record shows that it was Rumsfeld stoking the Iraq fires -- facts he has completely left out of his memoir."

It seems that if you are a Democrat, you play by a different set of rules than everyone else. Case in point: Bill Clinton pulled the most despicable sexual acts that one could imagine. The deceit and lies that he told to the American people, "I did not have sex with that woman." The disrespect of his country and his wife was disgusting; however, the people gave him a pass and re-elected him. That says something about the character of many of our citizens.
Now we have a man, Gen. Petraeus, who has given most of his life to the service of his country. He risked his life in combat, and due to a stupid act on his part he was forced to resign from a job that he has excelled in. America needs him because these are perilous times, and we need his knowledge and expertise.
I wonder if it could possibly have something to do with the knowledge he has; maybe of the cover-up in Libya and the possible failure of those who are running our country. Four of our young men who were serving their country were abandoned by their country and murdered — and after two months, we are still waiting for the truth. Let's not let this administration sweep this under the rug. I think we need to know the truth.
Could it have had anything to do with the recent presidential election? Cover-up! What do you think?
Obama continually claims that his presidency is the most transparent ever. I guess I don't know what the word "transparent" means, but I do know that after telling absolute lies like our president does, it is pretty hard for him to remember exactly what he has said. Like the old saying goes, "You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can't fool all of the people all of the time."

El Puente is proud to be making it easier for homeowners, renters, landlords, not-for-profits and small businesses to participate in energy efficiency programs offered by the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA). In addition to cutting waste and saving people money, these programs spark job and business opportunities—right here in our neighborhoods. We'll help you take the first step.
NYSERDA offers several programs that help people use less energy at home, save money and make living spaces more comfortable year-round.
Save hundreds—even more—each year by cutting energy waste
We can connect homeowners and renters with NYSERDA programs that help save energy and money. The programs begin with a home energy assessment, which is a top-to-bottom test to see where your home is wasting energy. This first step is very important because it uncovers hard-to-see problems like air leaking out of your house, walls that need insulation, trouble with your furnace, or other issues.
A BPI accredited contractor will perform your home assessment and can make any improvements or upgrades. BPI is short for the Building Performance Institute, a national organization that trains and certifies energy efficiency contractors to do energy efficiency work. Learn more about BPI.
At the end of the assessment, you will get a report about the next steps that can be taken to make your home more energy efficient.
Home Performance with ENERGY STAR®
If you own a single-family home or a two- to four-unit building, take advantage of free or reduced-cost comprehensive home energy assessments, as well as a 10 percent cashback incentive and low-interest financing for up to $25,000 in energy efficiency improvements.Home Performance with ENERGY STAR is open to all homeowners in New York, and has four basic steps.
Special offers for low-income homeowners
Depending on your household income, you may qualify for a grant to help pay for energy efficiency improvements, or even have the improvements made for free.
Assisted Home Performance with ENERGY STAR
Assisted Home Performance with ENERGY STAR offers the same benefits as Home Performance with ENERGY STAR, but income-qualified homeowners can receive grants of up to $5,000 to cover as much as 50 percent of the cost of energy upgrades. See the income guidelines chart on this page, or at [347-532-2809 x105 and our organizer Esteban Duran will help you see if you qualify.
Assisted Home Performance with ENERGY STAR income guidelines for 2011-2012:
For low-income homeowners and renters
NYSERDA offers a program that provides energy efficiency improvements for free to New Yorkers whose income is lower than 60 percent of the statewide median. You can also qualify if you're eligible for HEAP or if you participate in your utility's payment assistance program. Contact us, at 347-532-2809 x105 and our organizer Esteban Duran will help you see if you qualify.
Two affordable financing option.
When you make energy efficiency improvements through the Home Performance with ENERGY STAR or Assisted Home Performance with ENERGY STAR programs, you can qualify for two different types of low-interest loans.
Green Jobs – Green NY financing offers low interest rates, a simple application process, and easy-to-manage monthly payments that you make through the mail or by setting up automatic deductions from your bank account.
On-bill recovery financing allows you to use your energy savings to pay for energy upgrades directly on your utility bill. The payment amount is based on what you can expect to save each month on energy costs. For example, if your comprehensive home energy assessment shows that you can expect to save $100 each month by making energy upgrades, then your loan payment would be no more than $100.
Visit NYSERDA's website to learn more about both of these low-interest loan opportunities.
Take charge of your world: Now is the best time to get started
Funding for NYSERDA's energy efficiency programs will run out, so call El Puente today at 347-532-2809 x 105 or send us an email here (please hyperlink this email address email@example.com. We'll help you understand your choices, get started with a program and improve your home. It feels good to take charge of your world.
El Puente is a not-for-profit, Brooklyn-based organization that builds leadership for peace and justice by engaging youth and adult members in individual and collective actions that improve their lives, their communities, and the world. Founded in 1982 in the Southside of Williamsburg, today El Puente "bridges" the arts, education, health and wellness, greening and environmental justice programs to reach more than 5,000 New York City residents each year.

Mental Health
Have Mental Health Questions? Ask a Psychiatrist Online
Hi, I'd like to help you with your question.
It is actually very common for people to feel the way you do. Some hide it well behind masks of arrogance or indifference, others decide they are going to be self centered and not care (that way they don't get hurt first), and still others, like yourself, feel it strongly and are often hurt. It is the people like you that have the most sensitivity and selflessness with others.
It is alright to feel hurt when others treat you badly. Almost everyone does. The difference is how you react. You may feel like you have no defenses or you may chose to not have any defenses and therefore you feel rejection much more strongly. That is ok. But what you might want to change is how you react.
Acting mean or hurtful back is only going to be against your nature and therefore make you feel worse. Plus, it will change the other person's perception of you which you probably do not want. What you can do is see other's for who they really are. Most people who act out in mean or hurtful ways are hurt themselves. They may not come across that way, but if you think about it, there is no other reason to be hurtful to others except that you are hurting yourself. The person may be afraid they will get hurt or they already have been terribly hurt so they lash out each chance they get.
Accepting that you are a kindhearted person and that you are sensitive to others is a good step. See yourself in a good light because very few people are like you are. When others hurt you, remember they are acting out because they don't know a better way to deal with their feelings. So it is not you they are reacting to, but their own hurt.
Also, work on your self esteem. Educate yourself about how to increase your esteem. Read, consider therapy, and talk to others who do care about you and understand who you are. Ask for insight and help.
Here are some resources to help get you started:
Self-Esteem: A Proven Program of Cognitive Techniques for Assessing, Improving, and Maintaining Your Self-Esteem by Matthew, Ph.D. McKay and Patrick Fanning
The Self-Esteem Workbook by Glenn R. Schiraldi
Healing Your Emotional Self: A Powerful Program to Help You Raise Your Self-Esteem, Quiet Your Inner Critic, and Overcome Your Shame by Beverly Engel
You can find these books on Amazon.com or your local library may have them for you.
To find a therapist, talk with your doctor for a referral. Or, if you attend church, talk with your pastor. You can also search on line at:
I hope this has helped you,
For example a coworker snaps real snotty and says why do you wear your hair the way you do? I say nothing. Hold in their rude comments for months until I finally blow. How would you respond to that.
Should I not let it bother me that some people don't like me. On jobs should I just do mediocre instead of trying to be a perfectionist and do the best job, because it seems you can never please some people.
Another example my mother-in-law never seems to have anything good to say about me. In fact this is not just me, but does this with all her kids. I am so soft hearted that I can't take the digs and rejection, that I refuse to see her. We don't go holidays or anything with them anymore. I remove myself from the hurt. Is this the wrong way to handle it. I could confront her, and have done that with others, but if they are two faced what is the point. They will just tell you what you want to hear.
You should respond how you feel it would benefit you the best. For example, to your co worker you can say "sorry you feel that way" and walk away. I understand it hurts, but dealing with it by seeing that it is the co worker is the one who is hurting helps to understand it has nothing to do with you. If she is rude to you, she is most likely rude to others as well. It could also be that she feels you will allow her to get away with acting out towards you so she does it just because she can.
On your job, you should do the best job you can do for yourself. Whatever your standards might be should be what guides your work ethic, not what others think. Worrying about how others view you is only interfering with your potential. You have learned already that pleasing others does nothing to benefit you. So if it doesn't work, stop doing it. Start listening to yourself and what you want to be like. Then follow that guideline.
If your mother in law is unhappy with everyone around her, then it is easy to see she is the problem, not you. If she hurts you, then you choose how you want to respond next time. Ask yourself what would work best for you. Then follow through. If ignoring her and not going on vacations with her makes you feel better, then do that. You have rights as a person, just like anyone else. You are just not using those rights. Instead you are handing them over to others in your life and giving them power. If you choose to stop doing this, you will feel better.

Okay folks. For those of you coming to the Arsenal tournament, I thought I'd offer up an Arsenal/London pub guide, which may be helpful to fans who won't be spending most of the weekend propping up the bar of FF-sponsored Drayton Arms.
Apologies in advance to London/SE-based Bears and those who go to Arsenal games as much of this will be familiar to you. However, hopefully this will be of some use to traveling Follow Followers.
As you know, the Emirates is just a Pat Jennings goal kick away from Highbury, and as such, Gunners fans continue to use the same pre-match pubs as they always have. Away fans can usually get into most places, but given the number of Rangers going to the tournament, that will not be a problem!
The Gunners: 204, Blackstock Rd. This would be the Arsenal equivalent of, say, The Louden Tavern, ie, it is essentially a shrine to the club that serves beer. Obviously popular on match days and with tourist visitors, it has a decent enough atmosphere with a beer garden out the back. Worth a pint and a look around. Distance to ground: 10 minutes
The Bank Of Friendship: 224 Blackstock Rd. A cracking, unpretentious wee bar. It is quite small and has a country pub appearance, but if you can get along here early you can get settled in for a great drinking session. It has a small beer garden at the rear, which was used in the filming of the movie Fever Pitch. Distance to ground: 10 minutes
Highbury Barn: 26, Highbury Park. Has lost it's allure of the past, and now tries too hard to be one of the growing number of annoying gastropubs in London. However, due to its proximity to the Emirates, it continues to remain popular. It's fairly spacious and comfortable and while it wouldn't be my first choice of match day pub these days, it's not bad for a pint. Distance to ground: 10 minutes
T-Bird: 132, Blackstock Rd. A hidden gem here. A cosy pub that has a 60s/70s type kitsch decor. Gooners who know the area well come here on match days. Friendly staff, it's very laid-back and it is not unknown to have a lock-in. I thoroughly recommend this bar as it is a real oasis amid the other slophouses as you near Finsbury Park. Distance to ground: 10-15 minutes
The Junction: 2a Corsica Street. A stones' throw from Highbury & Islington tube, this is another great spot for match day drinking. Spacious and modern, industrial-style decor, there is a small courtyard at the front of the bar, so lots of room for a big group of fans to congregate. Nice wood-fired, reasonably-priced pizzas too. Distance to ground: 15 minutes
The Hen and Chickens is a good traditional London pub directly opposite (it hosts comedy nights upstairs as well).
The Compton Arms: 4, Compton Avenue. A little tricky to find but well worth it. Dig this place out as it is tucked away in a residential lane just off Highbury Corner. It feels like you're drinking in a village pub away from the noise and bustle of just 200 yards away. Arsenal fans tend to come here and drink real ale and spill out into the lane on a warm day. Distance to ground: 15 minutes
The Famous Cock Tavern: 259 Upper St Islington. This will be fairly popular as it is right beside Highbury & Islington station. Nothing spectacular about the place, but a busy, clean and comfortable London-type pub. Quite popular and convenient for away fans who are using the station, particularly for a post-match pint (FYI, The Junction and Hen and Chickens pubs are at the opposite side of the roundabout). Distance to ground: 15 minutes
The Bailey: 81 Holloway Road. Continuing along Holloway Road, for those with deeper pockets this is a pretty stylish, slightly pretentious place, albeit in a fairly predictable style for moneyed Islingtonites. Although they do serve Thai dishes to accompany your expensive pint and the food is reasonably priced. Distance to ground: 12 minutes.
The Wig and Gown: 97-99, Holloway Rd. Named after Pete Doherty's second home, the neighbouring Highbury Magistrates Court, the Gown is a decent football-fan friendly place. Lots of big screens and Arsenal memorabilia on the walls, it's a spacious watering hole close to the ground. A better option, IMO, than the nearby Bailey. Distance to ground: 12 minutes
(Incidentally, Holloway Road/Highbury Park is crammed with cheap and cheerful cafes, so it would be very wise to tuck in at these establishments rather than the rip-off catering inside the Emirates. You've been warned!)
The Herbert Chapman: 274 Holloway Road. Yes, wouldn't it be great to have a pub named 'The Bill Struth' on Paisley Road West? An understandably popular pub for Gooners, again it is another spacious place. It should be pointed out that to get here you should alight at Highbury & Islington tube and walk (about 15 mins) as the nearby Holloway Road tube station is closed on match days. Definitely a worthwhile port of call. Distance to ground: 5 minutes
The Worlds End: 21-23, Stroud Green Rd. For those who choose to alight at Finsbury Park station, The Worlds End is the best option amid the pretty grotty drinking options around here. It is a little bit further afield so allow 20 minutes to walk to the stadium from here.
The Twelve Pins, 263, Seven Sisters Rd, is a fake Irish barn-type place, which is fine for a few jars, and popular with Gooners who alight at Finsbury Park station from the commuter towns. It is, unfortunately, quite popular, I understand, when the Unwashed's games are on TV. The Blackstock, opposite, is a kip, so please avoid, as it does attract Finsbury Park's more select soapdodger.
Central London
Well, the good news is that Goonerbear can exclusively reveal that it is eminently possible to sink a rake of pints without having to resort to the smelling salts, thanks to the fairly well-kept secret that is the Sam Smith's brewery chain. http://www.beerintheevening.com/brew...tml?brewery=16
Said brewery has a string of great, traditional pubs across central London, which do not, happily, attract any low-rent jakeys/soapdodgers.
Sam Smith's - which is a Yorkshire company - brew their own superb beer, so if you can drag yourself away from the Stella and Fosters pish you're in luck here. It is easy to enjoy a fine Sam Smith's pub crawl, which is what I'll be doing over the weekend. Price-wise, you are looking at a pint of Old Brewery bitter at £1.90 or Alpine lager at £2.16. Top drawer!
So, the pubs to look out for are The Princess Louise, 208-209 High Holborn - a lovely, restored Victorian gin palace which is great for supporters staying in and around Russell Square. A must-visit hostelry for a session, quite frankly.
For Trafalgar Square there is The Chandos, 29, St. Martins Lane - a spacious two-floored pub which is really comfortable (especially upstairs), and capable of housing plenty of thirsty Bears. A superb bolthole and one of my favourite pubs in London.
Just north of Oxford Street you have The Bricklayers, 31 Gresse Street, Fitzrovia and the Yorkshire Grey, 46 Langham Street, Fitzrovia (north of Oxford Circus)
For Soho, I would thoroughly recommend, in particular, the busy John Snow, 39, Broadwick St, The Red Lion, 14, Kingly St, and the quieter Glasshouse Stores, 55, Brewer St.
Well after all that I have a bit of a thirst, so if any Bears want to buy me a pint please feel free!
Enjoy your weekend!
Rangers & Arsenal Loyal

Miley Cyrus Not Dating Joshua Bowman, Says Source
Reports popped up earlier this week that Miley, 18, was getting involved with Joshua, 22. E! Online reported that the two were "inseparable" during arecent party. However, our source shot down any notion that Miley was involved with the handsome Brit.
"Miley is single" the source confirmed. Miley (and Joshua) recently wrapped filming for So Undercover in Louisiana.
Celeb watchers may recognize Joshua as the handsome young stud who was photographed frolicking around St. Lucia with Amy Winehouse in 2009.
Miley has been dodging plenty romance rumors ever since ended things with former beau (and Last Song) co-star Liam Hemsworth last year. Miley was most recently linked to Victorious star Avan Jogia but neither party would confirm that the two were more than just friends.
Joshua wasn't the only friend that Miley made on the set of So Undercover. The "Can't Be Tamed" chanteuse won over co-stars Kelly Osbourne and Jeremy Piven.
"It was just so much fun. I had so much fun with her and we had great chemistry," Jeremy said of his young co-star. "It was really really weird—we're like polar opposites. She's kind of amazing."
Check out Miley singing "I Love Rock and Roll" at the So Undercover wrap party below.
What do you make of the Miley romance rumors? Share your thoughts in the comments.

Lower Body Lift
Typically a lower body lift surgery encompasses multiple procedures including circumferential abdominoplasty, outer or lateral thigh lift, and a buttocks lift. Although the lower body lift has the same incision as a circumferential abdominoplasty, the work done through the incision is more involved and complex with attention paid to the mons, buttock lift, and a formal outer thigh lift. The circumferential abdominoplasty creates incisions that are used to remove the excess abdominal, waist, lower back and upper thigh tissue. The tissue in the buttocks is lifted, which can result in a flattening of the buttock cheeks, and secured in a position previously noted on the lower back. Because the buttocks lift can create a flatter region, a buttock augmentation is usually performed at the same time (see below). The tissue of the outer thighs is then elevated over the thigh muscles as far as the outer knees and then lifted and secured in a higher position. This creates a smoother contour of the outer thigh and helps to renew the concavity of the waist. Once the excess abdominal tissue is removed, the lower body lift is complete.
