TSA detains woman for "attitude"
"A woman who claims the Transportation Security Administration detained her from her flight because the agent didn't like her attitude has posted a video of the confrontation on YouTube.
The 22-second video has 45,000 views as of Monday morning. It is posted under the name AirportVideoofTSA. The person who uploaded the video writes, "I was not allowed to board a plane (even though I had already been through airport security) because I drank my water instead of letting the TSA "test" it. The TSA agent finally admitted that it wasn't because they thought I was a security risk-it was because the TSA agent, Louis Godeaux, was mad at me!""
So now, if you're not properly submissive, don't give the little TSA jerks the respect they feel they reserve, you can and will be detained.
Bin Laden won, as we watch our freedoms slowly drain away.
Of course people continue to put up with this shit, even as it becomes ever more harsh, arbitrary and capricious. The only way to rein in the TSA is to simply not fly, a massive boycott of the airlines. But that's not going to happen, the American people are now proper sheeple, willing to put up with anything.
Me, I haven't flown in well over a decade, and won't do so again. I don't feel like giving a person with a power trip control over what happens to me.

1. She didn't like a passenger's attitude...
What a power-tripping piece of authoritarian trash!
The TSA is completely un-American. They've been credited with the catching of exactly zero terrorists, they put Americans through so many indignities. Why should I respect them? I only fear them.
I won't fly or set foot in an airport because of this trash.
This is security theater and creeping authoritarian brain-washing. They're conditioning the American populace to obedience - hence the reason for all the stupid rules. It doesn't matter if the rules make sense or not, or serve a real security purpose or not. They don't. All that matters is that these rules are presented to as many people as possible, who are required to obey, or have their lives made into a living hell by authoritarian trash who masturbate to the thought of holding absolute power over people.
Yes, I know - DU's clique of cop-defenders are going to flame the shit out of this thread because we're not praying to the TSA... Why, didn't you know, the naked-scanner machines aren't that bad - nobody would spread the pictures around or get their rocks off from looking at them, right? They're all professionals...

travel exceptionally unpleasant anymore because of the herding of people like cattle, the treatment by some airlines and the TSA. Often I think OBL must have been laughing his ass off at the US. He did exactly what he wanted, put this country into a tailspin into paranoia. Often the US is its own worst enemy. Now, the profiteers are making big bucks off the MIC and paranoia.

19. I agree
Minneapolis and the major airports I've been through aren't too bad in my experience. The power trippers are working at the smaller airports IMO. I won't fly into Palm Springs and I dread my flight this afternoon out of PHF. Minneapolis, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago and Washington DC have never given me a problem.
I carry lots of electronics and knitting needles and a small pair of sewing scissors
I'm glad others have the leisure to support ground transportation but for some of us vacation time is limited and we are unwilling to spend three days each direction on a train.

42. I don't fly often but I will say Minneapolis has the slowest security lines in the main terminal
that I've ever encountered (unless you know where to go to find a little known checkpoint). St. Louis was pretty slow as well and a real pain because if you need to change airlines and your next flight is on a different concourse you have to go through security again (at least at MSP they have just one checkpoint to all concourses).
I've only run into one real asshole as far as TSA types go and that was in Nashville. The jerk was being very passive agressive with everyone's IDs. He was inspecting each one as though he knew they were all fakes and he just had to find a way to prove it.

39. I fly frequently for work, and I've never had or seen a problem
with the TSA, even in the smaller airports. Even with the guy in front of me one time who had a boxcutter in his carry-on. He took the razor blade out of it which the female TSA agent threw away, and she let it go back into the carry-on sans blade.
Think about it, all across the country there are millions going through TSA checkpoints daily. How often do you hear about problems? Every one I've encountered in multiple airports was courteous and professional. Which makes me wonder why that vid was so short. We didn't see the entire encounter, only a few seconds.
The TSA is doing a wonderful job! I've seen it many, many times personally. Also, notice the people who are complaining the most here admit they don't fly.

94. Then you should inform yourself.
James O'Keefe was the RW videographer who took down ACORN. It was later revealed how he "gamed" the vids to show what he wanted to show - but it was too late, the damage was done. He also did later videos to try and take down other institutions that he considered "Left-Wing" including NPR, but he had already been discredited and so was unsuccessful.
The point is, don't take what you see on youtube too seriously. You don;t know the context, you only see one side of the story, and you don't know how much it's been edited.

11. Amtrak or M/C............
I will never fly if I gotta put up with TSA crap.
And some of the cops & dogs I see at 30th street station (AMTRAK, philly) make me want to avoid
all large cities. Only problem with Amtrak (other than slow, underfunded, not enough of it) is
I would have to go through & change trains in NYC & Chicago to travel round the country.
I have seen stories of just looking at a cop funny (in NYC amtrak facilities) & you have serious problems.
My dream vacation is 2 week Amtrak pass, Philly to chicago, chi to S cal, s cal to Pac nw, then back to chi to NYC then up to Maine or VT and back to philly. Stop for a shower & hotel every few days tour a bit then back on the train.
All that would fit on a 2 week pass w 8 Legs (stops) & cost less about $400.
At anyrate fuck the TSA, let indvidual airlines pay for their own security forces.

It seems to me that a lot of the reported incidents involve people who think of themselves as deserving of special treatment and/or those who expect to be able to arrive at the airport 5 minutes before the flight. I haven't had trouble with TSA, nor have I noticed any special difference between them and security people in Germany, England, Ireland, France, Switzerland, Brazil and South Korea.

I remember one time coming back from someplace that I don't remember (I've been so many places for work they tend to blur together) but they had to examine my bag. This Gentleman who spoke with a strong accent was so apologetic and had such a great smile, you had to say "Thank You!"
I have worked Mangement and Training in many Customer Service jobs, and I would be honored to have him work any of them!

I suppose that woman in the mini-skirt was "egging on" her rapists, so she deserved to be assaulted?
She DRANK the water in front of them. Hard to make one of those rumored liquid bombs out of a substance that you freely drink - the chemicals that are known to blow up are also hellaciously poisonous and corrosive.
Why am I not surprised to see the clique of cop-defenders here to defend their creepy authoritarian police state.
If you're into bondage and domination games, go find a BDSM forum somewhere, find someone who shares your kinks, and you can do all the strip-searches and dom/sub foreplay you want - just don't forget to pick a safeword.

49. How did they know it was water?
Assume there was, oh, a kind of plastic that only dissolved in certain kinds of liquids.
Assume that plastic could be formed into capsule/container form.
Assume a binary explosive was placed in two different capsules, then swallowed in bulk, by somebody on a suicide mission, and that swallowing a liquid to dissolve the caplets would mix the contents in the stomach, resulting in an explosion.
None of this is impossible today (along with numerous variants, think of smuggling drugs.... (or explosive precursors) via latex condoms, (and then swallowing baby oil to mix them), but short of everybody getting a full body X-Ray, it's not stoppable with current technology.
That being said, she wanted attention, she got it.

My friend who was stalked into the bathroom by a TSA Agent in Oakland and singled out for extra screening was sure it was pure sour grapes, because she was tall, with curly long blonde hair, in sandals, shorts, and obviously going on vacation ... the minority TSA women agents in Oakland were looking to teach her a lesson because they could and because they had to work and she was free to travel ... they thought they'd have some fun with her ... mistake ... instead they lost their jobs because their behavior was recorded ... turns out you can't stalk a woman into the bathroom for peeing ...

I know a young man who, upon graduating from college, is interested in a career with the Department of Fish and Game and was surprised to find the training has become quite extensive ... the training meshes closely with that of ATF agents ...
Well trained may certainly be better than a nighttime security guard ... I can't see college educated people following a 55& year old woman into the bathroom, because she had to pee ... just a guess on my part of course ...

We are all required to be fair and reasonable under the law ... at work, at home, in public ...

Honestly, I think the agent that behaved in the inappropriate manner could find nothing "wrong" with any of the people going through security so in her inexperience she started looking for any reason to find someone or something to show she was really, really doing a good job ... for fear of losing her job ... this employee was given authority she could not handle, in over her head, and probably afraid so foolishly created an incident by stalking a woman into the bathroom ... "see I got one" ... oops wrong one ...
My friend responded to TSA the way she did because she thought of other women traveling alone who may not have the background or experience to handle the matter ... they would be bullied ... (as you are attempting to do here, btw) to keep their mouths shut and take it ...

Yes, they were untrained and inexperienced minority women who stalked my friend into the bathroom and than singled her out for extra screening because she was a 55plus year old menopausal woman who couldn't hold her urine until she waited in the long screening line ...
Accept it. It was just as disappointing to her as a woman (as a longtime employer) as it was to TSA when they dealt with the matter.
A gang is a gang ...on the street ... or in an airport ... you may not like it as "unsavory" as it may be, but it happened ...

64. Details ...
stalk·ing [ stáwking ]
1. stealthy pursuit: the act or process of stealthily following or trying to approach somebody or something
2. act of steady harassment: the crime of harassing somebody with persistent, inappropriate, and unwanted attention
The woman (who was stalked) has been an employer in the bay area for 30 years and easily recognized the abuse of power in these individuals ... a few competent letters of advice to the right people within TSA and her most welcome points to them on the subject led to the termination of the agents involved ...
For instance, when you have worked for decades with people with little to no experience you to do NOT allow them to work together on one crew, because unfortunately they can and do form a little gang ... you split them up ... You put one senior person with decades of experience at the head of the crew, one with a bit less experience, and finally the third person can be one of these totally inexperience cretins who otherwise might abuse their new found authority over others ... after years of gaining experience from elder crew members they may be left on their own, but to turn a gang of part time illiterate women loose on the unsuspecting public is insane ...
It's not a "story" nor is it "strange" or "weird" ... you may be desperate, but only because you may not have decades of experience dealing with untrained employees on construction projects or in the office workplace ...
Now why would a woman stalk another woman into the bathroom? ... stupidity? ... seemed a bit junior high to me, but that is the mentality the woman was facing at that moment when she stepped out of the stall and was faced with the imbecilic agent who was wielding her new found authority over her ...
After careful viewing of the recordings TSA chose to terminate the people involved ...

96. I'm sorry, I was confused because you said you stopped flying.
Apparently, he thought he was making a joke.
I honestly don't think this is an indictment against TSA as it is against Western culture as a whole.
Please be patient with me here, I am going to say some things that are technically Racist that really are ignorance.
First of all, I would like for you to understand that Asia as a whole is a mystery to us. Because we were isolated for so many years in our "Western World" we tended to ignore the Great Civilizations of what we call the "Far East". Although you can probably tell at a glance whether someone is Chinese, Japanese, Korean, etc., because of our history most European-based people tend to just lump you all into the "Asian" category without even trying to understand the differences.
I, myself, am trying to understand the differences but I will admit that it is difficult for me as a European-based (Scottish on both sides of the family - although I hate Plaid, I hate bagpipes, and I hate Scotch whiskey! WTF?)
So, I don't think that your unfortunate encounter with the TSA agent had as much to do with Government Overstepping It's Bounds as it did with him just being human - and a stupid human at that.
Thus, my original statement stands - don't let this one incident deter you from flying. Did they take aside and make you strip down and humiliate you as many of these posts imply?

It doesn't take much to be a TSA, including not having to have a high school diploma. Yes, I won't fly again. You have too many gun-ho TSA guards who think they have special privileges over us "common folk" and especially over minorities who fly.
You said you have seen many Asians who have gone though with no problems, however I doubt you were in ear shot of most of the conversations so you don't know what was said, or probably paid attention.
I am saying, this incident was an example of what has happened to me. I am not saying its the only thing that has ever happened to me. You have to understand what its like to be a little different and having your differences pointed out to you, like you are some kind of other. This country has become so outwardly racist, that anyone in a position of power can ALLOW their racist crap to come out and not feel the need to worry over the consequences.
No, sorry this country is too charged right now. People hate Obama because he is black. That means all of us who are considered minorities have to take their (Republicans) crap as well, and I won't. They have night sticks, and hand cuffs. I don't need to travel. Everything I could possibly want in San Francisco is here. If I want to travel to New York to visit my parents, I will take the bus.

One thing I have learned was how to develop a "thick skin", and being a member of DU has definitely helped that. LOL!
Yes, I agree that this country is too charged right now. There are a lot of idiots out there who own guns. And a lot of idiots who think they know how to use them.
But, that's my point - the TSA is NOT the problem! Let's focus on the REAL problems in this country, and there are so many of them.

60. TSA in Cleveland today made everyone go through the scanners, no opting out.
Had I known they were going to do that I would have advised my daughter not to fly today. Now she's been exposed to god-knows-what and we'll probably never be told how bad those things are for human health.

80. She may have been lucky and been throught a Millimeter not a Backscatter machine
The backscatter type is a box. The millimeter requires you to be in a plastic walled semi-enclosed space.

91. Thanks for sharing that info.
I'll ask her which type when she gets back from vacay.
She said they completely closed off the metal detector machines they normally herd everyone through, and routed everyone instead through the nasty body scanners. Her flight was around 8:30am yesterday.
I'm still seething, and hope very much that it was the millimeter machine you mentioned.

87. come on madhound,
it's not all to do with being sheeple. my son and grandchildren live 3000 miles away from me, and all the adults work.
i want to see the world, i love to travel.
i think i will have conceded even more if i gave up flying, which would mean giving up seeing my grandchildren and traveling to places i want to see.
here is what i do: i make them frisk me. every time. sometimes they're nice and professional, sometimes i walk away feeling violated. but i'm getting on that plane, they haven't taken that away from me yet.

107. The TSA agent was wrong to have a flippant attitude
Most of the places I have flown you can have a drink if it has come from within the airport (like I buy a can of soda). If the bottle had been in her carry on going through security they usually will take it (not always though).
I've flown back and forth between Asia and the US several times in the last 8 years and never had a problem except for one time with my computer about five years ago going through SFO coming into the US. They even found my pirated copy of Rocky Balboa and didn't bat an eye at it.

The rights to the race were acquired by Bernie Ecclestone earlier this week.
But Mosley told BBC Sport that it would make sense for the BRDC to promote the race, as it has done in the past.
"At least now there is the possibility of a new promoter stepping in and the obvious people to do that would be the BRDC, the track's owners", said Mosley.
He has threatened to axe the British Grand Prix if improvements to facilities at the track are not made.
But the BRDC insists work on a new paddock and pit complex can begin immediately if Ecclestone signs off the finance package already agreed with his Formula One Management company and previous rights holders Interpublic.
Mosley - president of motorsport's governing body the FIA - repeated Ecclestone's warning that the future of the British Grand Prix is far from secure.
"Bernie has got a point. It would be tragic if the British Grand Prix were not to survive and I think a lot of people will get together to make sure it does survive," Mosley said on BBC Radio Five Live.
"It's a commercial matter essentially and something over which we have very little control, but he is right in suggesting that Silverstone has not kept up to the modern standards.
"It's one of a number of Euro races, it's not a key strategic race. So they must sort it out - but I think they will sort it out."

In a crackdown viewed by media watchdog groups as a warning ahead of presidential elections due in the summer, at least 14 Iranian journalists have been arrested since Sunday, accused of collaborating with groups opposed to the "Islamic revolution." One was later released.
Now Iranian authorities are linking those arrests to the BBC, Britain's public service broadcaster and the world's largest news-gathering broadcasting operation.
Iran's intelligence ministry issued a statement Wednesday saying that it had "succeeded in uncovering one of the biggest networks (of informants and agents) linked with the media camp of the arrogant powers." ("Arrogant powers" is Tehran's term for the United States, Britain, Israel and other Western countries it regards as hostile.)
"The network was run by the British government's psychological operations organization (known as the BBC) in cooperation with several western governments and used a multilayer, extensive and well-equipped structure and very special methods of communications for sending its reports," it said.
The statement, which was released to regime-linked media outlets including the Fars, Mehr and IRNA news agencies, said the BBC and "Western co-conspirators" had used the experience gained during the protests that followed the disputed 2009 presidential election.
The ministry said it had monitored the "network" for months and had collected the required proof before moving ahead with the arrests.
The case against the accused was not reliant on their confessions, as data collected from those held provided strong evidence of links to the BBC that would be indisputable in court.
The ministry said further arrests were likely in the coming days "till the last individual in the network is arrested."
Referring to recent criticism of the arrests by Western media and human rights groups, it said the "ballyhoo" would have no impact on the intelligence ministry's determination and its course of action.
"We refute these allegations completely," a BBC spokesman in London told CNSNews.com early Thursday. "We do not have, and never have had, any working relationship whatsoever with these journalists. The allegations are completely without foundation."
The journalists arrested in recent days write for four daily newspapers – Etemad ("Trust"), Arman ("Goals"), Shargh ("East") and Bahar ("Spring") – and the weekly Aseman ("Sky").
The media freedom watchdog Reporters Without Borders linked the arrests to the upcoming election, when Iranians will choose a successor to President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
"Iran has not yet emerged from the era of terror launched after the disputed June 2009 presidential election and now, five months before the next election in June 2013, a clear warning is being given – journalists and news media will be gagged," said the organization's secretary-general, Christophe Deloire.
The state-run IRNA news agency on Wednesday offered another reason for Iran's unhappiness with the BBC. It said the broadcaster had run reports "at the behest of Washington" trying to lay the blame on Ahmadinejad for a severe shortage of medicines in Iran.
The aim, it said, was to persuade Iranians that the president was inefficient and should be fired, when the real reason for the shortage was sanctions against Iran's central bank.
"The old fox, the British government, is not aware that Iranian people are intelligent enough to understand the meaning of sanctions on Central Bank of Iran and they see that patients have been exposed to risk of death due to shortage of medicine," IRNA said.
Ahmadinejad last December fired his health minister – the only woman in the cabinet – after her ministry put out a statement criticizing the authorities for not providing the funds needed to import medicine.
Last week the BBC accused the Iranian government of intimidating London-based staff members of the BBC's Persian-language service, by harassing their family members in Iran.
It said false Facebook accounts and websites had been created to smear the BBC Persian staffers, accusing them of sexual misconduct, of working for Britain's MI6 intelligence agency, and other allegations.

INDIA-L ArchivesArchiver > INDIA > 2005-02 > 1109400193
From: "Colleen Thorne" <>
Subject: DONOVAN
Date: Sat, 26 Feb 2005 14:43:56 +0800
Hello Listers
I am writing to introduce myself.
I am a descendant of Joseph Gerald DONOVAN was born 1794 in London . His wife Susanna CLARK had first married a composer called Samuel GARBETT with whom she had two children. Her brother had been to India and made some money then died. So Joseph and Susanna after going to South Africa as part of the 1820 Settlers decided to go to India about 1830 with the Donovan children to claim her brother's inheritance which unfortunately had been frittered away and already dispersed. Joseph managed to find a job in India where he decided to stay. About two or three years later we hear of his death in c1834 HOWRAH, INDIA. The youngest child Mary Ann DONOVAN was born at Fort William, Calcutta. My great great grandmother Juliana born about 1832 we suspect was born some where in India.... maybe same place as her younger sister. Susanna then took the children and left for South Africa and she died just before they arrived at Cape Town, South Africa.
So that is the story so far...
Any ideas to where or what I should be trying to research to find the unanswered questions would be appreciated.
I have got this far withe help of kind listers on the South African groups as well as long hard searching on the LDS reels. Is there such a thing for the India group?
Many thanks in advance

As investors digested the news that market darling
IAG, which owns brands such as NRMA and CGU, lowered its guidance for gross written premium growth to 3 per cent to 5 per cent for fiscal 2014 – down from the previously expected 5 per cent to 7 per cent improvement.
But shareholders can take heart that the lower revenue growth won't hit their holdings straight away. IAG upgraded its full-year profit guidance to between 14.5 per cent and 16.5 per cent for the year ending June 30.
These are some of the insurance analysts' views on IAG's update:
Defence vs offence
Daniel Toohey, Morgan Stanley
IAG's underlying margin momentum and defensive traits have attractions, but with the top line offensive faltering – the earnings growth suffers.
IAG's 1H14e reported margin of 17.5 per cent is a strong result, but is mostly attributed to higher- than-expected reserve releases and 0.9 per cent from favourable credit spreads.
First profit warning
Nigel Pittaway, Citi
This comes just one month after IAG reiterated its guidance alongside the announcement of its
The GWP downgrade comes despite reassurances from IAG concerning strong growth in its intermediated division, mid-single-digit growth in its Direct division and slowing but still solid growth in NZ. At this stage, a full explanation is elusive but begs the question as to whether the new entrants have been having a greater impact on it than IAG has previously been prepared to acknowledge.
Growth concerns
Toby Langley, Nomura
The lower level of premium growth suggests a faster-than-expected slowdown in premium rate increases after a rich period of consistent price rises across the Australian personal lines market.
While the updated margin guidance is above our expectations (and likely consensus), almost all of the beat was driven by reserve releases – a lower-quality source of earnings.
Jan van der Schalk, CLSA
While the 4 per cent reserve releases were clearly unsustainable, they also signalled very strong past reserving and underwriting discipline.
Why is this a bad thing? Lots of people seem to be willing the end of the cycle for IAG and maybe that is prompting some to find things in the numbers we can't see – but I reckon this is a great buying opportunity.
Mixed bag
Andrew Adams, Credit Suisse
Question marks will obviously be raised on both premium rates in Australia and IAG's ability to hold market share. The mid of IAG's new guidance implies a circa 12 per cent net profit upgrade.
The downgrade in GWP guidance will likely get a lot of focus, however, we expect a mix across the business and a slowdown in premium rate increases to be the driver, as opposed to a large reduction in market share.
Still cheap
David Spotswood, Shaw Stockbroking
One could argue the profit upgrade is due to one-off factors. We increase our 2014 earnings per share by 8.7 per cent and leave 2015 unchanged. That said, we believe concerns in the market about peak cycle earnings are over played and the stock is cheap (P/E 11.2 times, FF yield 5.8 per cent).
Competition heating up
Ryan Fisher, Goldman Sachs
There is insufficient data in [Thursday's] release for us to know what the residual shortfall in premium growth relates to. We hope to get more clarity at the time of the first-half result.
If it turns out that most of the weakness relates to the increasingly competitive intermediated/commercial business (which we suspect it might), this will be the least bad outcome (given the lower margins in that business).
At the "higher-quality" end of the business spectrum, industry feedback is that IAG has become increasingly competitive in its new business pricing for motor and home in recent times. However, we would have expected the volume benefit of such a change to be offsetting the price impact, at least for the time being.

Lost in the #Linsanity of the Nets win over the Knicks last night in which Deron Williams showed he was the best PG in town was Marshon Brooks' best game back since returning from injury. He scored 18 points on 7-15 shooting, also picking up 3 rebounds and 4 assists. In the latest Grantland Rookie Rankings, Brooks dropped down to number 6, but more performances like he had in the Garden will get him back up in no time.
Here are some of his highlights from the Nets 100-92 win over New York.
Here is an ESPN interview with Marshon from today.
Dear Nerlens,
I'd like to start off by apologizing – first on my behalf. I'm a fan that is probably faceless in a sea of fanatics that show up at the Dunk. I have no business writing this, and I'm not sure how it'll be received. All I can hope for is that you understand the reason I'm writing this isn't for personal gain, or for the sake of my institution, or anything else. Whatever equalizing denominator you want to use – we're both from eastern Massachusetts, both rock fantastic hair styles (your fade top and my jew-fro), or that we're both simply humans co-existing on this planet – just know I'm writing it from that standpoint, and not one of any alternative motive.
Secondly, I'd like to apologize for the experts, the journalists, and the overall opinionated people who claim they know what you're thinking and what you're going through. It seems that I can't go on Twitter, Facebook, or a message board and not see your name tied up in some half-baked idea of what you're thinking and/or where you're going. The reality, as I'm sure you're aware of, is that none of these people know and that they're guessing either by job description, bias standpoint, or simply overzealous at the opportunity to see you wear their school's name and colors on your uniform in the fall. I can't even imagine how frustrating it must be to have words put into your mouth by these people on a daily basis, even further exacerbated by the fact that they don't consult you, or that they spin your consultation to a very specific degree. I can't claim to have an understanding of that feeling, like every word seems to be pushing you in a direction that you're not sure you want to head in, but I can imagine that it gets so frustrating at times that you want to throw your fist into a wall.
To put it simply, it's not fair. It's not fair to you because you've worked your entire life to get to this point and you've made the sacrifices you've needed to make to get where you're at presently, and now it must feel like someone is taking that and trying to control it. It's unfair because you should be enjoying this, not feeling like you're being pushed into something. Christ, at this point in high school my biggest concern was who my prom date was going to be, these kinds of decisions you have to make are well beyond the most of us and you have to make them in the midst of this point in your life. In laments terms, it's bullshit that you have to feel this way and put up with this.
I don't know you, and I'm not about to give you advice because I have no idea where you're at or what you're going through. All I can say is I empathize with you. From all accounts you sound like a great young man, one who has his head on right and is always looking ahead in life. From my understanding you're mature beyond your years and extremely respectful, rare and valuable qualities not only in a person but in life. These are the qualities that people look back on and root for – not for you as a basketball player, but for you as a person. With all these pressures on where to go, when to decide by, who thinks what, it might be easy to lose sight of that.
If there's one thing I can encourage you to do, it's to never forget the people that matter most in your life are the ones who will support you for you and the decisions you make. There is no "right answer" in many things – the choices in life are not black and white, but beautiful shades of grey. What decisions you make should be ones that reflect the choices made with your heart and mind, and not ones made for you by others. You know this, and I'm not trying to teach you something you know. What you might not know is that people of your nature, who are unique in character for their esteemed qualities, will always be rooted for. Whether it be because you play basketball or not is a variant of life that can change at the pulse of a heartbeat, but as Confucius said "no matter where you go, there you are." I hope you remember these words because at the end of the day they will ring true for you – no matter what school you pick you will still be, from all accounts, a great person. These are the people we hope to see succeed in life, regardless of where they do it.
I vouch for no person other than myself and those who may find agreement in this letter, regardless of philosophical beliefs, religious denomination, or even school affiliation. As a person, I want nothing more than to see you succeed in whatever you do. Life is nothing more than a collection of moments, but it is the family and community we embrace as our own that what makes life worthwhile. I hope you find this in whatever path you decide going forward, but also I hope you understand there are those already around you that provide this for you. I know you may not read this, but maybe in some metaphysical way these words reach you in some form and they bring solace to your life when you may need it. Most importantly, have fun – life is too short not to.

ESPN: Nerlens' Notebook: Kentucky, Cuse visits
Out of all the schools PC is up against for Noel, I suddenly have a weird feeling about Georgetown…
I'm excited about my next few visits, to Florida, North Carolina and Georgetown, but I don't know what order those visits will be in and I don't have any dates on those yet. I'll definitely let you guys know, though.
I'm gonna visit Providence and UConn too because they're so close to me. I've been hearing from all of the coaches from those schools for the most part

From there it was off to Providence, which has Ricky Ledo, Josh Fortune and Kris Dunn signed and is also involved with 2012 shot-blocking superstar Nerlens Noel, who took his weekend official to Kentucky.
"After we left UConn we took about an hour drive over to the Providence-Georgetown game," Jaklitsch said. "We got a chance to see them play in person after watching them on TV a few times. The fan support was really amazing for their team. They are struggling this year but the place was sold out and the fans supported them to the final buzzer.
"We had already been to Providence in the fall so we saw the Dunkin Donuts center but now this time the place was packed. After the game we had the opportunity to speak with Coach [Ed] Cooley and his staff. They expressed again how much they want Chris and how much they need him. They talked about the opportunity that was available for him if he decides to attend Providence College."

Friars.com: Men's Basketball Falls To Georgetown, 63-53
The Providence College men's basketball team (13-15, 2-12 BIG EAST) the Georgetown Hoyas (20-5, 10-4 BIG EAST) by the score of 63-53 on Saturday, February 18 at the Dunkin' Donuts Center. The game marks the second time the two teams have met this season. On January 29, the Friars fell to the Hoyas, 49-40, in Washington, D.C.
ESPN (AP): No. 9 Hoyas hold Providence to 25 percent shooting
The Hoyas held their biggest lead at 57-42 on two free throws by Jabril Trawick with 2:56 to play. Then the Friars chipped away, closing the margin to 58-50 on a 3-pointer by LaDontae Henton with 1:27 to go. But a dunk by Henry Sims and a free throw by Markel Starks built the lead back up to 61-50 with 47 seconds left.
Washington Post: Georgetown vs. Providence: Hoyas clamp down on Friars for 63-53 victory
Although the Friars trimmed their deficit to 58-50 on a three-pointer by Council with 1:27 left to play, the Hoyas did not flinch. Sims, in fact, answered with a backboard-rattling dunk that put an exclamation point on the win.
"In conference play, particularly on the road, you're not going run away from teams," Thompson said. "It doesn't mean we're not going to try. But this group isn't frustrated when it doesn't happen because we've accepted the mind-set of, 'Hey, every night is going to be a grind.' "
CBS Sports: Georgetown's young kids what makes Hoyas tick
Providence made just 4-of-28 shots from the field in the first 20 minutes and wound up shooting below 26 percent in the loss. Teams are shooting 38.8 percent from the field against the Hoyas this season and 28 percent from beyond the arc.
This was supposed to be a rebuilding year in the eyes of many. Instead, Georgetown sits just a game out of second place in the Big East.
GoLocalProv: Hoyas' on the defensive, stifle Friars 63-53
Without Coleman in the offensive lineup, the Friars struggled to get into a transition offense and create easy scoring opportunities. Or any scoring opportunities, for that matter.
The Hoyas' stifling defense managed to extend outward on PC's shooters (Bryce Cotton, LaDontae Henton) and never allowed any level of comfort. At one point in the first half, the Friars missed an astounding 20 shots in a row from the floor.
Woonsocket Call: Hoyas grind PC Friars to a halt, 63-53
"That's best defensive team I've seen in a long time," Cooley said. "Everyone talks about Syracuse's length. We've played both teams twice and Georgetown is as long and as physical as any team."
The Sun Chronicle: PC off target in loss to Georgetown
"Every mistake we made, they countered," added Cooley, the Friars suffering their seventh Big East loss by a margin of 10 points or less. The Friars scored just 25 first half points on Wednesday against Cincinnati (shooting 37 percent) and just 21 first half points last Saturday against South Florida (shooting 26 percent).
Friar Basketball: Quick Hit Thoughts After a Struggle Against Georgetown
Not coincidentally, PC's offense has stagnated as Bryce Cotton has struggled from the field. After his explosion at Villanova, Cotton has shot 5-34 over his last three games. The sophomore has been terrific for a majority of this season, as Ed Cooley has said on more than one occasion that he believes Cotton is the most improved player in the country, but he's struggled to find open looks of late.
Casual Hoya: Taking Care Of Business: Hoyas Beat Providence 63-53 For 20th Win Of The Season
There isn't a ton to take away from this game other than a good team not letting down against a lesser opponent. Say what you will about the turnovers, shooting droughts, and free throw trouble, it has been a pleasure to watch this team have no letdown. In the last few years, we have seen losses to inferior opponents just because Georgetown wasn't particularly excited about playing defense. Not this year though. The Hoyas go nine deep, and that means that any defensive lapses or mental errors earns one a seat on the bench with someone eager to get minutes.

The Hoya: GU Defense Shuts Down Providence Again
The Providence men wouldn't go down as easily, though. Despite a horrendous shooting performance, the hosts hung with the highly favored Hoyas throughout the game, even narrowing the lead to four at one point. For its part, Georgetown allowed the underdogs to hang around by turning the ball over 12 times in the uncharacteristically fast-paced game.
The Providence Friars lost to the Georgetown Hoyas 63-53 on Saturday night. Here is the post game presser. Cooley goes on by himself at around the 10 minute mark.
According to Brendan McGair of the Woonsocket Call, Gerard Coleman came down with the flu and will be a gametime decision for the Saturday night game against Georgetown.
McGair: Flu big could result in PC's Coleman missing Georgetown game
Coleman sat out Friday's practice, the result of a flu bug that leaves the sophomore's status against the Hoyas very much up in the air.
"Gerard hasn't felt well all week," Cooley said. "He'll be a game-time decision."
Nerlens Noel is making his visit rounds and is at Kentucky this weekend. To show how much we here at Friarblog care about the big man coming to Providence, I created a song just for him. Please share, retweet, post this wherever you can to get this out there!
(Sung to the tune of the theme from The Fresh Prince of Bel-Aire)
Now this is a story all about how
A basketball program in Rhody got flipped-turned upside down
And I liked to take a minute just sit with me
And tell you how I became the prince of a college called PC
In Everett, Mass born and raised
On the playground is where I spent most of my days
Chillin out, maxin, relaxing all cool,
And all shooting some b-ball outside of the school
When a Coach named Cooley tried to recruit me
Said we're building something special with Dunn and Ricky
They called me nuts and I got lots of abuse
They said I should go to Kentucky or head to the Cuse
I visited lots of crowded arenas, and got lots of love
The decision was going to be tough when push came to shove
I took my time and listened to my gut
Ima create my own legacy and get a team out of a rut
Sorry Jim, Sorry Cal, Sorry JT3
I'm chosing to be a part of Coach Cooley's family
The team has been bad, but it's on the rise
I can see it by looking into Big Ed's eyes
I whistled for a cab and when it came near
The license plate said FRESH and it had dice in the mirror
If anything I can say this cab stunk
But I thought naw forget it yo homes to The Dunk!
I walked onto the court of THE DUNK about 7 or 8
The Friars were ranked, it was a packed house it was great
I looked at my kingdom with my family there to see
To sit on my throne as the Prince of PC

I had Juvederm injected in my upper/lower lip lines and along the lip borders. The lower part looked great but 2 months later the upper lip lines were horrible. My injector said that my body wasn't allowing it to settle and that it was sitting on top of the wrinkle. She injected more horizontally to even it out which looked great until about a month later. Now I can see where it sits horizontally. I am a small skinny woman. Is it me or should I find a different injector?
Is it possible for Juvederm to not settle or is my injector just trying to cover up for bad work? (photo)

Juvederm Results
The Juvederm can look and feel a lumpy for about 1 - 2 weeks, but should settle down and look symmetrical then. If you are experiencing more concerns, I would follow up with your treating provider.

Juvederm ridging
In thin-skinned areas and on people who are very thin in general, Juvederm tends to ridge. It doesn't make an even transition from a filled to an unfilled area, so people will often end up with a ridge or line, like you have. While some of this could be averted by the injector, maybe, it's more about the actual consistency of the filler and its use in thin-skinned areas. You could find a different injector if you'd like, certainly, but more than that, I'd recommend a different filler or procedure for this area.
"This answer has been solicited without seeing this patient and cannot be held as true medical advice, but only opinion. Seek in-person treatment with a trained medical professional for appropriate care."
Unhappy with Upper Lip Lines after Juvederm
Initial swelling of the peri oral area after Juvederm treatment can significantly improve the look of upper lip lines. As this swelling resolves and the Juvderm starts to break down, it is not unusual to see waves or lines of the filler. This is an area that is very difficult to treat with filler. It can cause an unnatural shape of the upper lip area sometimes referred to as a "monkey mouth", especially if too much filler is injected. Another option for smoothing upper lip lines is a deep peel or dermabrasion. Finding a skilled, qualified doctor to perform either of these options is pertinent.

Upper lip lines is a difficult area to treat. Filler will help but laser, Infini, dermabrasion can be better
Upper lip lines are hard to treat! The easiest solution is using filler, but its not perfect and lasts for about 4-6 months. Belotero seems to be the best filler for the lip lines, if you inject them directly. Filling the vermillion border with filler helps and so does filling above the lip with a cannula horizontally. I think the most recent treatment, using the Infini, seems to be very promising, with very little downtime and risk. I've abandoned injecting Juvederm superficially because it becomes noticeable and the only filler I will inject superficially for the lines is Belotero.
