By KFFL Staff
Free Agents to Pick Up in Your Fantasy Football League
If you are serious about winning your fantasy league football championship, it is important to stay on top of your fantasy football team throughout the course of the year.
Each week during the NFL fantasy football season, KFFL brings you our Fantasy Football Waiver Wire, which breaks down players who should be on your radar to pick up in your league. Sitting on your hands and not being aggressive in picking up fantasy football free agents is not a wise move. Sometimes, even if you do not need the player for your starting lineup, it is wise to tuck the player away for depth as well as blocking others from adding the player to their fantasy football team.
Fantasy Football Free Agents: Priority Additions
The following group of players are players that should be high on your radar and are worthy of being added immediately to your fantasy football team.
J.T. O'Sullivan, Quarterback, San Francisco 49ers
• O'Sullivan remains available in about 26% of leagues polled.
• Offensive coordinator Mike Martz has proven many times he can make fantasy-quality players out of non-household names. O'Sullivan, through three games, is averaging 235 yards passing and one touchdown per game.
• Turnovers can be a factor, which you need to weigh against your league's scoring system. He has averaged 0.33 interceptions and 0.67 fumbles lost per game.
Brian Griese, Quarterback, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
• The Bucs went to the air in Week 3 as Griese launched 67 pass attempts against the Chicago Bears. He registered 38 completions with two touchdowns but was picked off three times.
• Griese has thrown three touchdowns compared to those three interceptions since overtaking quarterback Jeff Garcia for the starting job.
• Griese, who is available in about 89% of leagues polled, has a better arm than Garcia, giving the typically run-first Bucs more potential in the vertical game. With Griese, though, you'll have to accept the possibility of frequent turnovers if you play him.
Steve Slaton, Running Back, Houston Texans
• Slaton, who should be owned in all formats, remains available in about 29% of leagues polled.
• He is coming off of his first start, which saw him record his first 100-yard rushing outing.
• Through two games, Slaton is averaging 79.5 rushing yards, 0.5 rushing touchdowns, 3.5 receptions and seven receiving yards.
• With running back Ahman Green (ankle) being the poster boy for injured running backs, Slaton should continue to see a solid amount of looks weekly.
Le'Ron McClain, Running Back, Baltimore Ravens
• McClain is available in about 90% of leagues polled.
• The Ravens' fullback is becoming an ultra-back quickly, seeing an average of 18 rushing attempts per game so far this year. He is averaging 76 rushing yards, one rushing touchdown, 1.5 receptions and 14 receiving yards per game through two weeks.
• The Ravens' game plan focuses on running — a lot. McClain's 260-pound frame is a load to bring down and he figures to be a weekly element within their conservative offense.
Pierre Thomas, Running Back, New Orleans Saints
• Thomas remains available in about 62% of leagues polled.
• He is averaging 7.3 rushing attempts, 25 rushing yards, one rushing touchdown, 2.33 receptions and 16 yards receiving per contest through three games.
• Running back Deuce McAllister (knees) still is not where he needs to be health-wise, leaving plenty of scraps after Reggie Bush's touches for Thomas, who is also seeing some goal line looks.
Michael Bush, Running Back, Oakland Raiders
• Bush is available in 51% of leagues polled.
• In two games played, Bush is averaging 15 rushing attempts, 72.5 rushing yards, 0.5 rushing touchdowns, 0.5 receptions and 2.5 receiving yards per game.
• Running back Justin Fargas (groin) missed Week 3 with a groin injury and has a long history of injury problems. If his groin persists, it will lead to even more opportunities for Bush. Rookie Darren McFadden (toe) is also not 100%.
• Through three games, the Raiders love to run! They are second in the league in rushing with 107 attempts.
• The Raiders have a Bye week, so you'll have to sit on him until Week 5, but pick him up before someone else does.
Michael Pittman, Running Back, Denver Broncos
• The Broncos' running back cluster is scaring people away from picking Pittman up; he's still out there in about 56% of leagues polled.
• Pittman is averaging 1.33 rushing touchdowns and four red zone plays per game, including 3.33 per contest inside the 5. It looks like halfbacks Selvin Young and Andre Hall will be used primarily between the 20s.
• Don't expect Pittman to be your top back as he still has to compete with Young and Hall for touches, but his red zone use is hard to pass up.
Rudi Johnson, Running Back, Detroit Lions
• After spending the early part of the season learning the offense, Johnson ran for 83 yards on 14 carries along with three catches for 48 yards and a touchdown in Week 3. Rookie halfback Kevin Smith received just three carries.
• The team wanted Johnson to see some work early but kept him in because he was running well.
• The run-first Lions had 20 carries opposed to 31 passing attempts last week. They had been unable to focus on the run in the first two weeks because they faced big deficits early in the game.
• The more experienced Johnson should be grabbed if he's on the wire; he has built his case to earn at least a split with Smith. He's available in 43% of leagues polled.
• The Lions are on a Bye this week, though, so you'll have to stash him.
Brandon Lloyd, Wide Receiver, Chicago Bears
• It hurts thinking it's time to start considering a Bears' receiver, but Lloyd is making a strong argument to do just that. Plus, he is available in about 96% of leagues polled.
• He is averaging 4.33 receptions, 72 receiving yards and 0.33 receiving touchdowns per game through three games.
• The Bears employ a conservative, run-first system, but quarterback Kyle Orton is taking his shots from time to time. With none of the Bears' other receivers stepping up statistically, Lloyd may be able to finally turn around his career as Chicago's No. 1 option.
Ike Hilliard, Wide Receiver, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
• Like a fine wine, is Hilliard getting better with age? He is available in about 87% of leagues polled.
• He is leading Buccaneers receivers in receptions, averaging 5.33 per game. He isn't picking up a lot of yardage — just 47.7 yards per game — but he is finding the end zone. He is averaging 0.67 touchdowns per contest through three games.
• Wide receiver Joey Galloway (foot) is dealing with a foot injury and missed Week 3; the team could rely on Hilliard more often in the coming weeks.
Robert Meachem, Wide Receiver, New Orleans Saints
• Meachem is available in 63% of leagues polled.
• He caught a score in his first game in Week 2, and he hauled in two passes for 86 yards in Week 3, including a 74-yard grab.
• Meachem is a big-play receiver who should continue to thrive without receiver Marques Colston (thumb) in the picture and now with tight end Jeremy Shockey (sports hernia) out three to six weeks.
David Patten, Wide Receiver, New Orleans Saints
• Patten is available in 43% of leagues polled.
• He caught just two passes for 12 yards last week, but he's still the No. 1 wideout with Marques Colston (thumb) and tight end Jeremy Shockey (sports hernia) out of action. He has been targeted 4.67 times per game — the most of the non-Colston options at receiver.
NEW—Chansi Stuckey, Wide Receiver, New York Jets
• An unheralded seventh-round selection in 2007, Stuckey has caught a touchdown in each of his first three games and looks to have earned the confidence of quarterback Brett Favre (ankle).
• Stuckey's receptions have increased each game, including a six-catch performance in Week 3.
• Green Bay Packers wideout James Jones served as the slot receiver for Favre last year, and he finished with 47 receptions for 676 yards.
• Stuckey is obtainable in 39% of all leagues polled.
Joe Nedney, Place Kicker, San Francisco 49ers
• The suddenly high-powered Niners offense has helped Nedney average 9.67 points per game this year; during the Niners' recent two-game eruption, Nedney has averaged 11 per contest.
• Nedney, who is available in 84% of leagues polled, is 7-for-9 on field goals this year but only 1-for-3 on attempts of 40 yards or more. He is averaging three field goal attempts per game.
• Offensive coordinator Mike Martz's offense is starting to click as quarterback J.T. O'Sullivan is moving the ball well, which should benefit Nedney's scoring opportunities.
NEW—Josh Scobee, Place Kicker, Jacksonville Jaguars
• An injury-shortened 2007 left Scobee with just 62 points in eight games, but he made 92.3% of his field goal attempts and was on a 124-point pace, which would've eclipsed his career high of 119.
• Scobee has made all but one of his eight field goal attempts this season and has posted consecutive double-digit outbursts.
• Available in about one-third of all polled leagues, Scobee has a lot of upside kicking behind a solid Jacksonville offense.
Fantasy Football Free Agents: Worth a Look
Fantasy football leagues come in all shapes and forms, so the following group of players will have higher significance in deeper fantasy football leagues. In shallow leagues, they are not as high of a priority but should be considered based off of your fantasy football team's needs.
Trent Edwards, Quarterback, Buffalo Bills —We upgraded Edwards from last week's Watch List. He has held on to the ball while proving to be a stable game manager, averaging 244.3 passing yards per game while tossing just one pick. The Bills Offense is centered on the running game, but he's a safe option for those who have been bitten by the quarterback injury bug this year. Edwards is available in approximately 34% of leagues polled.
Correll Buckhalter, Running Back, Philadelphia Eagles —When halfback Brian Westbrook (ankle) left the game due to injury in Week 3, Buckhalter seamlessly stepped in with 43 rushing yards, six receptions for 44 yards and a touchdown. Westbrook's MRI results released Monday, Sept. 22, did not reveal ligament damage. If Westbrook is a go for Week 4, Buckhalter, who's available in about 91% of leagues polled, returns to backup duty. Westbrook owners might want to grab Buckhalter for handcuff purposes, but others shouldn't discard more valuable options to grab him.
Hank Baskett, Wide Receiver, Philadelphia Eagles —Baskett was not affected by the return of receiver Reggie Brown (hamstring) as he caught eight passes for 85 yards in a Week 3 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers. He's averaging four receptions, 65.7 receiving yards and 0.33 touchdowns per game this season. He might not be a long-term solution once wideout Kevin Curtis (sports hernia) returns, but Baskett could be a reliable No. 3 wideout until then, especially if Brown is slow to return to form. Baskett is available in about 84% of leagues polled.
Antonio Bryant, Wide Receiver, Tampa Bay Buccaneers —Wideout Joey Galloway (foot) missed Week 3, and Bryant took advantage by catching 10 passes for 138 yards while being targeted 19 times. With Brian Griese at quarterback, the Bucs are more apt to target their receivers, making Bryant relevant in the passing game. He's available in 93% of leagues polled.
NEW—Justin Gage, Wide Receiver, Tennessee Titans— Gage (groin) missed the team's Week 3 contest with a groin injury but returned to practice Wednesday, Sept. 24, and should start this Sunday. He hauled in five passes for 59 yards with a score in quarterback Kerry Collins' first start and looks like the receiver to own in Music City. Gage is available in about 66% of all leagues polled.
NEW—Kevin Curtis, Wide Receiver, Philadelphia Eagles— Curtis (sports hernia) hasn't taken a snap this year while recovering from hernia surgery, but he made his first appearance at practice Wednesday, Sept. 24, and could be back in the lineup by Week 5. Curtis caught 77 balls for 1,110 yards last season. He can be scooped up in about 59% of polled leagues.
Rian Lindell, Place Kicker, Buffalo Bills —Lindell is available in about 83% of leagues polled. He is just 5-for-7 on field goal tries but made a game-winning 38-yarder in Week 3 and has converted all nine of his extra-point attempts. The Bills Offense looks like a unit on the rise, meaning Lindell should continue to see scoring chances.
Atlanta Falcons, Defensive Team —We had the Falcons in this section last week before they earned three takeaways and notched a pair of sacks against the bumbling Kansas City Chiefs. Atlanta, who is available in 87% leagues, ranks in the middle of the league with an average of 306.7 net yards allowed per game, but they're tied for sixth in the league with 1.33 interceptions per contest. They would be a solid backup defense in deep leagues.
Denver Broncos, Defensive Team —Playing the Broncos, who are available in 82% of leagues polled, is purely based on their Week 4 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs. Interim quarterback Tyler Thigpen's sandlot ball presents a great matchup for any opposing defense, especially in the takeaways column. If KC goes with Damon Huard (neck), it's not as if this offense will be taking a big step up. Denver has allowed 425.0 net offensive yards per contest, so don't retain them after Week 4 if you pick them up.
New Orleans Saints, Defensive Team —Speaking of one-week plays, the Saints play the San Francisco 49ers — an intriguing matchup against a high-powered offense with a weak offensive line. In offensive coordinator Mike Martz's system, Niners quarterback J.T. O'Sullivan has been sacked 13 times, and San Francisco is tied for the league lead with six turnovers. Playing the Saints beyond this week is a risk, but this matchup should help if you're cycling defenses on the waiver wire. New Orleans is available in 87% of leagues polled.
Fantasy Football Free Agents: Watch List Options
The following fantasy football picks should not be players you immediately acquire — unless your team is in dire straights. These players are, however, options that are showing some life and should be kept an eye on to see if they materialize into worthy options.
Billy Miller, Tight End, New Orleans Saints —With tight end Jeremy Shockey (sports hernia) out three to six weeks, Miller steps in as the presumed starter at tight end. Miller had two catches for 41 yards in Week 3, and he occasionally put up a solid fantasy effort last season. The team might be willing to look to him in the future. Don't pick him up yet, but he's someone to watch for a matchup play down the road if it looks like he will have a significant role in the offense. With wideout Marques Colston (thumb) out, too, this team is running out of reliable pass catchers. Miller is available in all leagues polled.
NEW—Kyle Orton, Quarterback, Chicago Bears —Don't look now, but Orton has gone to the air 66 times the past two weeks, completing 41 of them. If he keeps this up much longer he might be in danger of shedding the "game manager" label, which would do wonders for his fantasy value. It's not time to make a move just yet, but owners in the 85% of leagues where Orton is on the wire should at least start monitoring his performance.

Tennis professionals are hired to handle administrative and promotional duties at tennis clubs, help run the pro shop, oversee club tournaments and provide tennis lessons to members. You obviously need to be a skilled tennis player, with deep knowledge of the sport, to qualify for this position. In addition, the right education, training and certifications help you learn about the teaching and business aspects of the job.
Education for Tennis Pros
A few colleges and universities, including Ferris State University in Michigan and Tyler Junior College in Texas, offer professional tennis management courses. These provide a bachelor of science or associate of applied science degree when completed. The business portion of the curriculum consists of a mix of accounting, marketing, financial management, retail sales and merchandising courses. Classes that focus on tennis include racquet repair, teaching and coaching techniques, fitness and motor skills, tournament administration and sports psychology. These programs also help you develop basic math and language skills, such as statistics, algebra, business writing and communications.
Internships and Certification
Some professional tennis management programs include an internship, giving candidates the opportunity to gain practical experience and network with others in the field. This greatly increases the odds of landing a job after graduation. College programs also help candidates prepare for certification through the United States Professional Tennis Association by reviewing topics relevant to the exam. The exam covers different types of strokes and teaching techniques. The written portion tests your knowledge of a wide variety of tennis topics, such as equipment, conduct, definitions and business issues. As tennis professionals gain experience, they can rise in USPTA certification from professional to elite professional to master professional.
Coaching and Administration
Tennis professionals spread their love of the sport by providing instruction to members of different skills and experience. Professionals also take charge of supervising memberships by ensuring members pay their dues, follow club rules and receive correct skill ratings according to handicapping systems. Tennis professionals supervise club employees, including pro shop workers, assistant pros and maintenance staff. The merchandise and services offered by pro shops fall under the direction of tennis pros as well.
Club Events and Promotions
Promoting the tennis club is another one of a tennis professional's duties. This typically involves organizing events that bring tennis fans together -- such as clinics or tournaments -- that bolster the profile of the club while increasing member participation and investment. Tennis professionals also represent their organizations at UPTA conferences, tournaments and other events.

Big Sunday helped to make our school look FANTASTIC for the start of our new school year! I am constantly amazed at how much the colorful walls/murals make a difference for our staff and children. I am so appreciative of all of the people who volunteered their precious time to come out and make a difference at our school. The murals were very student friendly and oh so colorful. I can't thank Big Sunday and their volunteers enough for brightening up the school. They are an awesome organization that certainly deserves the highest awards.
If there were 10 stars on the 5 star rating, Big Sunday would get 15 from me. Wow! What an organization! Big Sunday's staff was so organized and courteous with all of us at Normandie Elementary, a school in South Central Los Angeles that I could never get tired of saying thank you to them.
Big Sunday's team led by Mr. Levenson and Berenice with the rest of their team could move mountains. They brought in a team that transformed our dilapidated walls at our 110 year old school and made them look new and freshly painted with murals that are student friendly. I can imagine how hard they worked to transform our school and for that all I can say is THANK YOU!
I have worked with Big Sunday for more than 6 years through the schools where I have worked. Big Sunday has sponsored beautification days, providing materials, tools, volunteers, water, and many essential supplies. Recently Big Sunday brought over 100 volunteers and literally transformed our school campus, cleaning, planting, painting and repairing. We took part in the back-to-school project and received backpacks, school supplies and a huge amount of much needed materials that were donated for distribution. They are the greatest!
Big Sunday is truly the most spectacular non-profit organization that our FAMILY has ever encountered! There are thousands of wonderful organizations, but none that are this inviting, inspiring, organized and heart-lovingly-fulfilling for every member, of any and every age, of our family. Big Sunday has completely re-wired the word Community Service in all of our hearts and minds to Community Passion - Love, Support and One-ness. Through Big Sunday and because of Big Sunday, for the last 6 years (almost 6!), my children and I have had some of our most favorite and special times together, with leaving our electronics back at home or in the car and being fully together while working, creating, building, organizing, etc., for those who are in need ...and when our time in each day or activity is through, we all feel happier, hug each other a little longer and tighter and know that we have made a difference and will hopefully add a little love and happiness into the heart of someone whose day could really use a little glimmer of hope, love and kindness. These are the moments that you can't buy. Even though our time at Big Sunday or working with Big Sunday is for others, it is truly our favorite gift to ourselves.
To say that Big Sunday has changed my life -- and the lives of thousands of people -- is an understatement.
Over 10 years ago, I got my first glimpse of what Big Sunday was all about. I started volunteering on a small scale, making lunch and doing craft activities with Ability First, an apartment complex for adults with disabilities. After two years, I became Social Action Chair at my temple and had access to hundreds of volunteers. I got "promoted" within Big Sunday and was asked to create a carnival for foster children at Penny Lane in North Hills, while their foster parents participated in classes. With over 80 volunteers, we set up a homemade carnival, fed them hot dogs, hamburgers and ice cream, found a DJ who offered her time, set up donated bouncies, and gave out tons of prizes, including a trip to Disneyland! This was all free to the families, of course, thanks to Big Sunday and the many donations we snagged. The kids never could get over that they didn't have to pay for any of it. I ran that highly rewarding event for four years and I believe it continues on today.
Meanwhile, as Social Action Chair, I modeled our many temple activities after Big Sunday. I completely (with permission and blessing!) plagiarized their brochures and ideas and implemented them into our temple social action activities. Our participation EXPLODED. For example, over 400 people joined in for our annual community giving day (aka "Mitzvah Day"). Not bad for a congregation of 600+ families. I attribute much of this success to the Big Sunday format which simply WORKS.
For the next three years on Big Sunday, I co-led a food and clothing collection with a local school board member. We tapped into our suburban school district and collected truckloads of important items for local shelters and food banks, while our school kids sorted and delivered. They loved the hands-on feeling of helping out alongside our superintendent, and organizations were thrilled with the bonanza of donations.
For the last two years, I have been working with L.A. Family Housing. They house homeless families temporarily, and we volunteers serve them lunch and do many fun games with the kids like Perler Beads. We take family pictures for them and give them frames and albums ... something simple that they often don't have. They love it!
The biggest thing to say about Big Sunday is what happens outside of Big Sunday. Thanks to their Holiday Giving List, I have a decade-long relationship with Covenant House in which my family donates gift cards to their youth every Christmas. I won a Volunteer of the Year award from Penny Lane, and my family joins another family later in the year to volunteer for L.A. Family Housing's "Birthday Club," giving gifts to the kids in the shelter whose birthdays fall that month.
Big Sunday has changed my life, the lives of hundreds of volunteers I work with, and thousands of people whom I have been honored to meet.
This was my third time to volunteer with Big Sunday. Like my first two experiences it was a well planned event that was to benefit underprivileged children and families in the greater Los Angeles area. The staff from Big Sunday were professional and friendly. I would volunteer for this organization again.
My family has been involved in Big Sunday for over eight years in many different roles. We have all volunteered at different events, I have organized many events as a Captain during Big Sunday Weekend and my kids have planted many flowers and painted many walls. The one stand out emotion for us is gratitude. We are so fortunate in this large metropolis to work with a nonprofit organization that truly gets the meaning of community service and that it is a bridge to forming ongoing relationships with other individuals and groups. Its about making connections, breaking down barriers and creating a future that holds a place for all of our children. When you are doing things with Big Sunday all the cliques that are so common (for whatever reason) are non-existent and volunteers work side-by-side towards common good. They operate year round now and there is always something to participate in - for an hour or for a whole day - but there is no doubt that you will leave knowing that what you have done has had a powerful impact on a child, a senior, a veteran, a family, a school... the list is endless.
We have also chosen Big Sunday as an organization that we donate to. Having been involved for so long we are convinced that the dollars we invest goes directly to the programs that change lives and make a diffrence.
Hello, My name is Maya Nichole and I'm a 12 year old Philanthropist in training! "Big Sunday" gives me the opportunity to give back to lots of kids while feeling good inside. The events are so fun, I don't even realize I'm volunteering!
@LILMayaNichole on twitter
In May we held our annual Big Sunday hosted by Sinai Akiba Academy. Children had the opportunity to work alongside their family and community volunteers to clean and beautify our center. This was a very successful event, as it reflects our willingness to come together as a community to provide a welcoming environment here at BPCDC.
Big Sunday is an absolutely amazing organization! They provide help to so many other charitable organizations, schools, etc. In my experience, it is rare to come across an organization that touches the lives of so many people through so many different charitable causes! They never fail to be friendly and enthusiastic, and continually plan new, fun activities to involve volunteers and other charities which they serve.
Our organization (Hope Mill, Inc.) serves the homeless. This year Big Sunday provided not only volunteers for our Big Sunday Weekend, but more recently provided pull-top canned goods and bottled water to include in our CarePacks for the homeless! Many lives will be touched, thanks to Big Sunday!

"The Intelligence Division-an oxymoron if there ever was one."
- Lieutenant Arcturus Mengsk(src)
The Confederate Intelligence Division was a branch of the Confederate Armed Forces.
In the years before the Guild Wars, the Division worked to steal mining claims from the Kel-Morian Combine. Its modus operandi was to send in a scout force to a planet to see what was being mined, who was mining it and the workers' affiliations. Its data-hounds would then scour the networks to try and find legal loopholes or a criminal record-anything to justify sending in the Confederate Marine Corps to remove the miners.

What is the best way to achieve symmetry without enlarging my breasts? (Photo)
Doctor Answers 19
Can you make me the same size?
Great question and you would be suprised that this type of asymmetry is more common than you may think. You will do very well and be very happy with a bilateral mastopexy (breast lift) with a bit of excess breast tissue removal from the right side. They will look very symmetric after surgery, but you will have scars around the areola and up the middle lower portion of the breasts. A small price to pay for a significant improvement! Good Luck
Mastopexia & Breast Reduction
Thank you for your photo.
Based on it in my opinion for your left breast a mastopexia surgery without removing any tissue and lollipop scar will be fine and for your right one a breast reduction with removing breast tissue will give you the desired result and will make you happy. Please consult with a board certified plastic surgeon who has extensive experience. Kind Regards and good luck....
Symmetry adjustment
Hi! I'm sorry you are facing this issue - I have a lot of women in my practice who are young and beautiful and bothered by just this problem. If you love your left breast, then the solution is simple. You need to just have a lift and reduction on the larger side. (The lift is generally incorporated into almost all reductions). Some surgeons may be concerned because you have a slightly constricted appearing breast on the right - that's a breast where instead of filling out the lower breast and keeping the nipple pointing forward, the tissue sort of pops up into the top of the breast and displaces the nipple downward. It's hard to tell from this picture but I suspect that may be an issue for you. It's not uncommon and most surgeons can correct it easily.The down side of the surgery is that you will have scars around the nipple and on the front of the breast below the nipple, which is pretty standard for any reduction operation. And of course no symmetry is exact, so you should expect that the reduction will give you good symmetry, but minor differences will likely remain.Find someone board certified in plastic surgery to discuss it with, and someone you are comfortable with and trust to do the surgery. Best of luck!

What is the best way to achieve symmetry without enlarging my breasts?
It appears that a small reduction on your right breast would even out the size and better match the left breast that you prefer. Seek consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon with whom you feel trust and feel comfortable.

Asymmetry Correction
Thank you for your question and photo. You could technically have only a breast reduction on the larger side to match up the size but your Plastic Surgeon will likely suggest a lift/reduction combination so that both areolas and breast shapes can be well-matched. I recommend that you meet with a board certified Plastic Surgeon in person to be examined and discuss your goals/expectations.
All the best

Improve breast symmetry without changing breast size
- Your photos are very helpful.
- You need a small breast reduction and lift on the larger side
- And a bresat lift on the smaller side.
- The best approach in my opinion is the vertical mammoplasty that avoids an incision in the breast crease
- These are the most problematic scars.
- You will have a scar around the nipple and from nipple to crease - the skin here is thin and tends to heal with faint and at times truly invisible scars.

Illustrious minimal-electro duo Mount Kimbie have just unveiled their latest album, Cold Spring Fault Less Youth. The sophomore album's new single, 'You Took Your Time,' sees deep-voiced UK singer/songwriter King Krule handling the vocal stem.
Krule's lazy, almost spoken form is matched with Kimbie's downtempo vibe perfectly. 'You Took Your Time' is somewhat reminiscent of Sydney's Collarbones:
Preceding this release was 'Blood and Form,' which is more in-line with the style of debut album Crooks & Lovers, with its subdued drums, weary synths and dusky dry vocal layers:
'Made To Stray' was the album's slow-burning and hypnotic debut single sporting Foals-esque vocals:
Mount Kimbie's Cold Spring Fault Less Youth is out now on Warp Records.

Club Jeremy Hall found Sean on a gay hook-up site. The rep told him what he did for a living, and Sean was really surprised when he actually showed up. Not only that, but he also seemed grateful that he wasn't some old pervert like all the rest of the weirdos he sometimes meets online. He was a bit aloof when they first met, but after a few drinks, the chat got going and eventually it got around to doing a shoot for them. This was of course his very first time doing anything of this nature for a camera. But pairing him up with Trevor Knight was a great idea. The more experienced stud took Sean on a wonderful ride. Indeed.

There's a pattern here. Nelson Mandela and Aung San Suu Kyi were inspiring when they were trying to free their people. But when they took power, they didn't just disappoint. They failed. Now to be fair, 'The Lady' did not fully take power. Her nation is in turmoil and under military rule. But still, she has failed. This is sad. The lesson here is don't have heroes. Especially people who win Nobel Peace Prizes. They will break your heart.
This Little Blog is 10 Years Old
Five days ago, this blog turned 10. I have several posts getting cold in draft status. So I will just mark 10 years similar to the way I started the blog - with a music video.
Aesop Rock dropped the best rap album of 2016 about a year ago. The second track, Rings, can be used to sum-up up my lack of productivity on this blog pretty well. Hobbies slip.
I could describe a couple of posts in-progress the way Aesop describes his unfinished paintings:
Then a week goes by and it goes untouched
Then two, then three, then a month
And the rest of your life, you beat yourself up
More posts soon. 2017 will have more than double the number of posts that 2016 had.
30 Years Ago Today: The Joshua Tree
30 years ago today, we got The Joshua Tree. A front-heavy rock album. Not as consistently great as The Unforgettable Fire (1984). But it was the commercial peak U2 fans knew they were capable of. Suddenly, I was not alone in choosing U2 on the jukebox in my favorite pizza joints in Brockton, Massachsusetts. I was in my final weeks in junior high, surrounded by kids who loved Bon Jovi and Motley Crue, and they HATED U2. Come September, I was in a high school where if you didn't love U2, you were considered way out of touch. You could love R.E.M. You could secretly listen to New Order or Depeche Mode. Or you could be so far ahead of the curve like me and own three Pixies albums by 1989. But if you didn't express your love of U2, you were an automatic outsider.
Now the album itself does not move me like the next three U2 albums did. I still think Achtung Baby is their best masterpiece. But there are very few rock albums that open as strongly as The Joshua Tree. We're talking Led Zepplin IV or Back In Black-caliber openings. Where The Streets Have No Name is a soaring opening - peak classic U2. I Still haven't Found What I'm Looking For is this emotional gospel rock anthem. And despite its basic four bars, and resemblance to another Eno-produced four-bar classic, Once In A Lifetime, With Or Without You is still, still a great song thanks to the lyrics and Edge's galloping riffs. Then they follow that up with Bullet The Blue Sky, the leftist, violent song about Reagan's proxy wars, among other things. And then, THEN, U2 give us another anthem - the major-keyed song about heroin addiction, Running To Stand Still. Holy shit, this album. 30 years, kids.
The Democratic Party Is Not The Resistance
The Democratic base flared up for a couple of weeks after Trump's inauguration. But where is the base now? Any why aren't they consistently mad? Why are the most newsworthy congressional town hall meetings occurring in heavily Republican states?
For quite a long time now, Democrats have behaved as if they didn't have a base of supporters whose views they needed to consider when casting votes in Congress. And even after Trump's first month, I sense a lack of commitment from Democrats to fire-up their base. Believe me, Republicans NEVER forget their base! The one thing they always fear is being challenged, from the right, by an ever more radical, anti-government crank. Democrats, like Obama, often take a perverse view of their political situation. Some are actually PROUD of disappointing the most loyal party members, as if that proved their bipartisan credibility. And when the Democratic base rebels, these people seem genuinely puzzled by the outrage they've provoked.
Democrats have enormous decisions to make this month. They can choose to help or impede the House in raising the Federal debt ceiling. They could fight to delay the Judge Gorsuch confirmation hearings, or let them move forward.
Each week of the Trump presidency has brought bad news, often at night as major newspapers print stories on the administration. The Democrats can't fight every breaking news story. But they lack a messaging machine to tell their base what to fight against. There's no motivation or organization at the top. It's all been from the bottom. When this happens, the top gets overthrown. Time will tell.
Trump Motivated People Without Trying Hard
And yet, here we are, a nation controlled by white people in landlocked states.
Seriously, thank you, white people.
63% of white men voted for Trump
53% of white women voted for Trump
What was Clinton's mantra? Love Trumps hate? Well apparently not. Hate is an immensely powerful motivator. Trump didn't need a sophisticated ground game to get his supporters to vote. All the intensity, and all the enthusiasm was on the Republican side this time. And in politics, intensity matters. As for the Democrats, it's astounding that Hillary, with all her negatives, turned out to be the party's default choice. In any event, we'll all pay for it now.
And Trumps personality and pattern is well established. He will never really work at anything. He is unwilling or unable to work harder to be presidential. He doesn't have to work hard to motivate his supporters. He already has a slogan for the red hat in 2020. And he win again, so long as his presidency doesn't fall apart. His base of 40% appears to be rock solid. But his presidency is showing way too many cracks to last one year, let alone three more.
The US Stopped Taxing The Rich 30 Years Ago
Yet another new study shows that the US has not seriously taxed its rich people since Reagan signed his tax reform into law in 1986. The great project launched in 1980 by Reagan has reached its apotheosis. We have a government of, for and by the rich. SUCCESS!!!
Domestically, the US has lived almost by a single rule: be extra nice to the rich people. It has led to nothing but trouble. It even led to Trump.
Public Comportment
My, my, such courtesy and deference shown on both sides. Why, if I didn't know any better, I'd suspect each had taken a course in public comportment.
You Can't Win Against Propaganda
Record inauguration turnout. 3 Million undocumented immigrants voted. The "Bowling Green Massacre." Bad hombres. Only 109 people inconvenienced. Refugees are illegal immigrants. The Trump administration is a fountain of propaganda. The more the news media points out the lies, the most Trump supporters love the administration.
Nothing can stop that. It's a no-win situation.
United States, 1776-2017
When a favorite magazine of wealthy white people publishes a dark cover, you know times are BAD. It's the final chapter of the USA. Of course, this chapter started with Bush v. Gore. But we finally get it now, at the end.
The Power of The F Word
Shortly before Christmas, I received another reminder from my RSS feed that I hadn't written enough posts in 2016. A story boomeranged and got recycled by lesser news outlets 11 months after it first made the rounds. Way way back in January 2016, a teenage hero named Charlotte Heffelmire rescued her dad from a house fire. How did she do it? Well, he was pinned under a car in his garage, so she found superhuman strength and lifted the car off of him. That prompted the editor at Jezebel (then still park of Gawker Media) to use this great headline, containing the F word.
I forwarded the story to my parents, who liked it, but my mom felt some reservations about the use of the word fucking in the headline. She shot an email back:
"...here's my complaint. Since when does the four letter " F " word appear everywhere?? It's a noun, verb, adjective, adverb ( just add an ly or an ing) etc. Serious stories and reviews often descend into vulgarity in the use of this word. It's lost all shock value and bite. The use of the word is supposed to be effective? Or a shock? Or describe something so harrowing that the word adds raw emotion and fierce meaning to the event? The overuse of what used to be a word, though vulgar, had a particular place in our verbal lexicon. The article that complained about the vulgar exchange between the public spectacle of Gervais and Gibson used the "F" word. Need I say more?"
Now this news story came out the same week as the Golden Globes. And in 2016, I believe Ricky was the first host to drop an F-bomb.
"What the fuck does sugar tits even mean." - Ricky Gervais
The word is powerful and should be used sparingly. I like the modern journalist standard of using it in a quote, but not in the copy or editorially in a headline. The late Gawker Media used the word liberally, so that's why we see it above in the headline.
The word has been with us since the 1600s. But I feel it went mainstream during the Nixon administration. The Vietnam war popped that bubble, and a Nixon official used the term "ratfucking" in the media.
I always liked Hunter S. Thompson's restraint. He used the word most often in quotes, often quoting himself. Those were his exclamations. But in describing things, he used very eloquent language. I always liked that mix. There was the character writing the story, and there was the story.
Fuck is a tool. Respect it and use it wisely. Like a cymbal crash.
There Is No Resistance
Uncle Tim is a historian. He told me a few times about how Barcelona resisted Franco, the murderous Spanish dictator, from 1939 to 1975. It was a marathon resistance that helped give us generations of artists and actors - from Joan Miró to Javier Bardem. People in Barcelona were able to live in a mild state of panic but they persevered. Now I know New York has a history of being different. It is a safer place to be gay or transgender, for example. But New York also has a history of being a place where resistance is not tolerated. The British were never kicked out of New York. Kids protesting the Vietnam War in 1970 were savagely beaten by cops and construction workers because their march was an insult to real, working men who weren't fighting the war or something.
So let me say right now that I have zero faith that New York will resist Trump. I don't think New York is a safe space from Trump. And I think quite a few New Yorkers are going to find themselves in prison or on no fly lists or under constant government surveillance during the eight years we will have under Trump. Trump is a New Yorker. I live just nine miles from Trump Tower. Aside from occasional protests, there is no resistance here.
Good luck, everyone. These eight years will be hard. And we still have the continued destruction of our planet and our species to look forward to.
Paris Expands Its Efforts To Remove Most Cars From Its Roads
I have been sitting on this blog post since May of 2016. I was going to call it, "Paris Dooms Most Cars More Than 20 Years Old To The Crusher." But this story has grown over the months. Paris is trying to get to the point where very few people own cars, and those who do, use it to escape the city, not use them to travel within the giant metropolis. That's how I use my car in Manhattan. It is my get out of town for the weekend ride.
This story really went global when Paris announced it was banning most cars made before 1997 from driving on roads. But then this week, Paris mayor Anne Hildago explained that it wouldn't be enough to meet her vision. And that vision is a capital with nearly no cars driving in it. And so she is accelerating efforts to do just that by banning cars from some major thoroughfares and expanding bicycle lanes. For Paris, the answer is not electricification, as all cars are "archaic," and waste space. If Hildago gets her way, cars will no longer have priority access to the streets of Paris.
I have never been to Paris. I am more of a London kind of guy. But there are two things we need to understand about this push to sharply reduce the number of cars in it.
From our colleague Uncle Tim:
Paris has the mass transit infrastructure to do this, of course. It is already faster and cheaper to get to any of Paris' 20 arrondissements by metro or bus. And Paris has confidence that it can increase capacity to carry more passengers who give up cars. New York couldn't do that. No US city could. London could, and it has encourages a shift to mass transit with its congestion tolls, now going strong in its 13th year. If Paris combined its aggressive car restrictions with London-style congestion tolls, it would see results even sooner. Let's see how Paris is doing in a year (2018).
And look what direction Madrid is now going.
Most Firearms In The USA Are Owned By 3% Of The Population
In a groundbreaking study, published in September 2016, The Guardian found that about half the nation's firearns are owned by 3% of the population. In addition, the number of handguns in the US has skyrocketed since Bill Clinton's first term. Our nation is being held hostage by a 3℅ gun crazy minority. The US population has increased, and overall gun ownership has declined since Clinton took office. But we have seen the rise of the "super owners."
A gun crazy three percent, and a craven, virtually worthless Republican party. I knew we were in serious trouble if the Democrats collapsed in November. And they did. And now we are at the mercy of the gun lobby and the GOP.
Gun-related news is part of the background noise in the US. Just this week, Smith and Wesson released the long-awaited second version of their M&P pistol. And in Ford Lauderdale, a possibly schizophrenic young man emptied his magazine in an airport's baggage claim area, killing 5 and wounding 8. Just a normal, acceptable mass shooting. In almost any other nation, there would be a quick reexamination of flight rules and gun policy. Not here. Rampages are perfectly normal and acceptable. New guns need to be sold.
War Crimes Pepper Obama's Second Term (And First)
In 2014, President Obama announced that the US war in Afghanistan would wind down in 2015. But announcing it did not make it so. It is nearly 2017, and historians still consider the war to be ongoing. And just over a year ago, the US committed one of its biggest atrocities, the deliberate, 60 minute airstrike on the Kunduz hospital in northern Afghanistan.
The story has disappeared from the news, but history will not forget. And it will be a major mark on Obama's record. President Obama issued a very rare apology to Doctor's Without Borders (MSF) for killing its providers and patients. But a war crime is a war crime. Hospitals cannot be attacked for treating wounded enemies. Demands for an independent investigation were ignored.
There was no advance warning of the airstrike. When it was time to report on the incident, as the Pentagon does, there was simply a whitewashing of all responsibility and accountability. Glenn Greenwald of The Intercept correctly called out major US news outlets in avoiding acknowledging which military attacked the hospital for the first 48 hours of coverage.
The US is still in Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria. The US is a country that can't fix the problems in Detroit, or Cleveland, or guarantee the descendants of slaves their right to vote, but it has the temerity to imagine we can reshape the Middle East to our liking.
More to the point, our political class, led by Trump, and soon Mike Pence and Donald Trump, is a pack of craven cowards, and their policies have made virtually everything they touch worse.
Enemies Lists Are Back For 2017
There's a new list of college professors that RIght WIng has deemed progressive bullys and fascists. Just remember, It's Always Projection.
This really is back to the future. We haven't seen a true enemies' list since good old Dick Nixon. I suppose it's a matter of some pride to have made this list. We have a lot to look forward to in the next three years. Imagine, a real, honest to God, right wing government in our dear old land, with a lying demagogue in charge.
Mister Sterling's biggest influence at U Mass was Sut Jhally. He made the list.
Professors in western Massachusetts, home to five great colleges in Pioneer Valley, have responded the best way possible, by requesting to be added to the list.
Every president has had a list of adversaries or people to avoid. Trump already has an well-known enemies list, and it will only grow.
UPDATE December 26 2016: The Wingnuts have fired up the Liberal Fascism narrative once again.
Organize And Resist Authority In The Trump Era
Back in the early twentieth century, Labor organizers would say, don't complain, organize. Robert Reich still uses that phrase. Often I see it as "Don't agonize. Organize." But it's the same message.
And it seems that Democratic politicians and prominent Democrats are not heeding that call. Now is not the time to be silent. Now is the time to resist Trump, as he is already acting as our de facto President.
A few weeks ago, I thought that some Democrats would walk out or now show up to Trump's first State of the Union address. But today, I expect all of them to sit there and applaud.
Justin Trudeau Has Canada On The Right Track
It's December 2016! This year has flown by. Probably my fastest ever (makes sense, as I am just getting older). But here's the first post I will post before the year ends. It's quite simple. Canada, you need to take care of Justin Trudeau, because he has your nation on the right track.
In his first year, Trudeau and the Liberal Party have brought some swift, progressive changes, They've helped working families, stressed gender equality, and have put a new emphasis on human rights at home and abroad.
When his party took over, Mister Sterling watched some YouTube videos of Trudeau, and called him a Johnny Depp wannabe.
But Sterling came around. Yes, Trudeau is he son of a Canadian Prime Minister. Putting him in charge is no better than putting a Clinton in charge of the Democratic party. As a general rule, a party should not use nepotism to remain popular. But that analogy doesn't flow perfectly to Canada's Parliamentary system. People vote for the party as much as the person in charge of it. And Canada sure as hell need the Liberal party in charge.
And let's face it, even Johnny Depp would be an improvement over Trudeau's predecessor, Stephen Harper. How that Canadian version of Richard Nixon got to be Prime Minister for nine minutes, let alone for nine years, is a mystery worthy of Sherlock Holmes. Good riddance to the Canadian Torries, and here's hoping young Trudeau can turn our friendly northern neighbor back to the right path. With Trump and a particularly irrational and evil GOP in charge to the south, we need progressive leadership in this continent anywhere we can find it.
I Know What Sucks
I am over elites telling me what sucks. I was over it in 2005. Does anyone think that Stephen Colbert, Lin Manuel Miranda or Beyoncé lose any sleep over who controls the Federal government? No. We little people are the ones who lose sleep. Trump and Republicans are going to impose a Federal parental notification requirement for abortion. They will pass a Federal 20-week limit on abortion. They will roll back car emissions standards 30 years. They will try to kill off the food stamp program. They will cut funding to most cities (except maybe NYC, where Trump still has his stuff). They will launch a ground war somewhere in the middle east. They will kill the ACA. All together, they will make it more difficult than ever before for poor people to break out of poverty and despair. That has been their end game since 1980.
The Art Of The One-Way Road Trip
Most of us have gone on road trips, and not always as the drivers. Since 2011, my wife and I have gone on an ambitious annual road trip in the American West. We put about 4,000 miles on our New York City-based car per year. But on these Western road trips we don't take the car we own but instead, we fly to our starting destination and put over 2,000 miles on a rental while meandering to our final destination. It took just one trip for us to get hooked on this.
This is a guide about next-level road tripping. This is the art of the remote road trip, well outside your home region. This isn't about renting a camper, either (I might do that someday driving across Australia). This is about seeing your great country, where too many people fly over the best stuff it has. What would you want to see on an American road trip? Would you want to see cities and towns that look like your own, or would you want to see what Teddy Roosevelt once called "big things"? Wouldn't you like to go big?
The American West has the attractions you didn't know you wanted to see. From mountain ranges and canyons, to ghost towns and colorful Mexican cemeteries, to Indian reservations and native American tribes we should all educate ourselves about, to boneyards, and missile bases, to massive national parks and monuments that you and I own, the West has the goods. Look at this map of our national parks. If you live east of the Mississippi, how would you explore the great American West in any reasonable amount of time? You could join a tour group. But you love to drive. No, you are a driver.
There is a cool way to explore the West without a tour group or an RV. It can be expensive, but it's worth it. You can fly to one city, take a week driving to a final city, and fly home from there. That's 7 days, over 1,000 miles (or 2,000), and many photos and memories. This is the one-way American West road trip.
A quick note about timing: Summer is the traditional time to do road trips but it is also when a whole lot of other people do them. Some of our incredible national parks and monuments have traffic jams during the summer. The best way to avoid this? Go after Labor Day. I want to present my guide for you Jalopers to get inspired to go out there to see your great nation. Every part of it has something interesting, but my example is the West, since that's where you can clock the most miles and see the most diverse things in a week.
A big reason to do a one-way rental road trip is time. Like me, you probably can't disappear from your day job for more than a week at a time. So you only have 8 nights away from home. A one-way road trip gives you the opportunity to cover a single region in a week. Renting a car one-way usually comes with a hefty fee. But we're in a golden age of internet price research. Even some of the biggest rental companies reduce their one-way fees for certain locations with high inventory, like Las Vegas or Phoenix. Once you know your starting and ending airports, you can do reverse searches on flights and car rentals to help decide which travel direction will cost you the least (either in time or money).
Everyone needs at least one partner for a road trip. I have my wife, my "navigatrix." I recommend you don't go it alone. That's reserved for people who seriously need time to themselves. But you, fellow driving enthusiast, you need a partner to navigate you and help you chose what to see each day and where to sleep each night. Which brings us to preparation, and some rules. A road trip is not a race. I consider myself a boring, safe driver. However, I have been warned about my speed by small town cops on two different trips. You're not an endurance or cannonball driver, either. You need to take this slow. A typical road trip day goes like this: you wake up, find a place for coffee and breakfast, and then drive to the next site on your itinerary. You should have an idea of where you're getting fuel, as well as lunch and dinner, and you know where you are resting your head after sundown.
I got hooked on faraway road trips the first time I did it. But like a lot of first times doing anything, it was the least planned, as we had no experience. We did it in early November, which is too late for a trip in the Southwest. And, we only gave ourselves 3 full days as we weren't sure that this would be enjoyable. We ended up seeing too much in too short a time. Here's the route we took on day 1:
On that single day, we drove from the Vegas strip, to the O'Callaghan-Tillman bridge observation deck, to the south rim of the Grand Canyon (the serious way to see it), and then through a corner of Navajo Nation to Flagstaff for dinner, and finally our hotel in (Take it Easy) Winslow, Arizona. That was nearly 450 miles in over 15 hours on the road. Oh, and we were met by thundersnow in Flagstaff.
On the following 2 cold days, we crammed in 5 more major attractions, including, amazingly, Monument Valley, before arriving late in Albuquerque for our last hotel stay and flight home. Along the way, we caught a glimpse of Shiprock, a beacon for future trips. Since then we have been far better paced. Here's what you need do to become a pro at this:
- Find your flights and car combination. You can choose Midland (Texas), Salt Lake City, Denver, Albuquerque, Tucson, Phoenix, Las Vegas, or smaller airports as start and end points. Play around with flight and car rental itineraries. Does it cost less to start or end the trip in one of your two cities? And with the car, skip the supplemental insurance from the rental company and buy a separate insurance policy.
- You can rent a good car. I've rented respectable Infinitis, Fords, Volkswagens, and Chevys on these trips. There are some decent, comfortable cars to rent. It just requires research and sometimes a little persistence at the counter. If you do a full week trip, you could be spending over 50 hours in those car seats, so keep that in mind. Lately any Ford Escape EcoBoost has won out for me. The seats are right and it's pleasantly zippy.
- Plan your visits and stops. Research what you would like to see along your route. Then figure out your exact route so you can come up with a daily list of sites you want to visit. Start with National Parks and National Monuments, and then find things that interest you. It can be museums, cultural sites, cars, planes, or even joints featured on Guy Fieri's TV show (I can't be the only one who watches that). Note closing times of the places you want to visit. When is that Spaceport tour? What time does that restaurant open or close? What is the latest time you can get stamped at the park visitor's center? Is that ghost town accessible year round, or only on certain days? Figure out with your navigator which stops are priority and what could be considered bonus objectives if you have time. You're going to be keeping track of what you hit and what you can come back and visit on a future trip. And as you do this, plan out where you'll sleep. Thanks to airbnb and VRBO, hotels and campgrounds are not the only options.
- The distance between your start and end airports is not as important as limiting how many miles you cover each day. 200-300 miles per day is ideal. You want to do all your sightseeing in daylight. We've done Las Vegas to Albuquerque, Albuquerque to Denver, Midland to Albuquerque, Minneapolis to Las Vegas, Midland to Phoenix, Tucson to San Diego, and we have Albuquerque to Austin at the end of this summer. In all my trips, my navigator and I have chosen the overnight stops, and using Google Maps (or your preferred map site), we plot an exact route and watch the daily mileage total carefully.
- Produce a travel binder. Remember Mitt Romney's "binders full of women?" Well you are going to need a single binder full of trip information, in chronological order. Grab a binder and hole puncher (find a hole puncher where you work). Start with your flight reservations. Then your car and insurance documents. Print out your hotel reservations. Then for each day, you will insert printouts on where you're going. Print out driving directions, as mobile phone coverage in the West is sparse. In fact, make sure you print out the address or GPS coordinates of every place you plan to visit. Also take a GPS device as a backup to your phone.
- Learn to like Wal-Mart. I know. That's a tall order for a leftie New Yorker. But in some small towns, Wal-Mart is the only source for beverages and snacks. Buy a styrofoam cooler, put ice in it at your hotels, and you have a mobile fridge.
The rest is up to you. If you love to drive, you ought to try it. Take a week off to see this amazing country and maybe you too will get hooked. When you are ready for the next level, there's Canada and Australia to explore. Then you'll know three nations with 'wild wests' and near-empty roads to drive. Just don't speed. Local and tribal police know when big city people are headed their way.
Goodbye, GM Theta Platform
While not an enthusiast's platform by any means, it is finally time to say goodbye to GM's crossovers built on the Theta platform. And what better, trendy way to kiss them goodbye then to offer murdered out editions? Yeah, all black everything, like it's 2013! Early this year, the GMC Terrain got the "Nightfall" treatment, and now it is the Chevy Equinox's turn with the "Midnight" edition, before the current platform bows out in 2017.
Now say what you will about the blackout editions, the Theta platform is one of GM's recent big successes, outside of truck sales. The Equinox, Terrain, and former, Mexican-made Saturn Ion/Chevy Captiva have been very reliable, quiet, and easy to drive family crossovers. Sometimes boring is good when it comes to a family vehicle. The Theta has been pretty solid and without drama.
Enthusiasts lament the loss of the North American Chevy Trailblazer, while Chevy sells a decent international version in the southern hemisphere. But a few have respected the Theta platform for its balance and the venerable 2.4L EcoTec motor, which remains a popular choice for Baja Bugs and Sandrails. In fact, I saw the American Captiva as a forbidden fruit, as it was sold only to GM fleet customers. I liked the Captiva so much I insisted on it at car rental counters for years. It was quieter and more efficient that any RAV4 or Edge at the time. And I think GM customers would agree, as the Equinox has solid sales numbers even as it enters the final months of production.
In keeping with the tradition of GM dealer order codes, if you want a Midnight Edition Equinox, you have to combine the LT trim with the Convenience Package. That is, if you really want one.
It seems even the GM faithful are weary of these blacked out cars. But doesn't The General do it well with the Cadillac ATS Midnight Edition?
And how about Jeep's Altitude edition of the Grand Cherokee? Is this trend dying a few years after it caught on? Do any of you still want a black grille and wheel set from the factory?

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Lawn Mowing' started by superbee, Nov 19, 2006.
Yes. I like my pb 403 too!
We went through the same thing a while ago, my wife settled on the very lightweight Husqvarna BT 125, think it is just around 14 lbs.
This little backpack blower is easy to start and runs great, but it is just designed to blow grass from the driveway. Not powerful enough for all but the smallest leaf cleanup.
In the meantime my wife got the Stihl 600. Despite the 23 lbs or so, she prefers this blower now for all work, had not used the old one in over 2 years.
may I correct you. 20 lbs.
The specs on this blower say it weighs 13.2 pounds dry. It has a tube mounted control. Anybody using this one? Thanks.
This looks like our Husqvarna BT 125. As I wrote above, my wife used it for a while, but is using now the Stihl 600 all the time. It's just no comparison in performance.
I bought one of these last year, but I think even my handheld beat it's performance. I returned it.
Best power to weight has to be the Stihl BR600. I like mine a lot.
