**Note: I am having this procedure done while visiting my parents next month. Fingers crossed everything goes according to plan!
About Me:
I'm 33, 5'5", and about 180 lbs. with my clothes/shoes on.
I am in good health, a non-smoker, and do not take any medication. I drink 2 glasses of wine a week on average and I'm not going to lie - the food is amazing over here in Italy, so I take full advantage of the local cuisine. I have not worked out consistently in about four years, mainly due to sleep deprivation. My son was up every 1.5 -3 hours for three years (no exaggeration) and my husband was deployed for more than half of it, so it was just me for a long time, living a sleepless hell.
Anyway, the sleep deprivation led to a weakened immune system and illness (bronchitis, strep - you name it), so I was pretty much always feeling bad until recently. I do, however, average 7k steps a day (fitbit), so I'm not a total slacker.
My son started sleeping through the night (yay!!!) two months ago and he'll start preschool when we return from our trip to the states. I feel pretty darn good now and am so happy to finally be in a position to work on myself.
I was asked by an old Italian lady on the beach if I was pregnant not too long ago and I'm not, nor do I plan on being pregnant ever again (hubby had a vasectomy so we should be good). With that said, I turned to Dr. T for help in hopes of jump starting my goal of reclaiming my body!
Over the weekend, I sent an email to Dr. T's office and was happily surprised when he answered within hours! He seemed very cordial and said that he'd be happy to do my (free) consult over the phone as long as he had pics and my stats to review beforehand. He gave me the office number and asked that I call during business hours to set up a time to chat.
I called yesterday and was given a consult for today. Steph, one of the ladies who works in the office, was super sweet and answered any questions I had during this time. She gave me the email address to send the pics to and we were set for a call with Dr. T for the following day.
I had the consult about an hour ago and am really comfortable with Dr. T's credentials and his staff has been great so far, so I decided to go for it! $1998 for both upper and lower abs is a great deal. He's never had any malpractice suits, has over 20 years experience as a doctor, and is a certified plastic surgeon. He said he's done over 1100 of these procedures in 4 years and no complications or infections. Sooo, I'm pretty stoked. Dr. T did warn me that the lip/extra skin on my tummy will tighten up, but I will need a tummy tuck for it to go away completely. I really like that he set realistic expectations up front. I do not want a TT at this time. I'm willing to try my luck with this and see where it gets me, you know? Oh, and I asked about swimming since I have a three year old and my parents have a pool. He said I should be good to swim in 2-3 days! Awesome! Also, I asked if I could fly since I am flying out 4 days later for a friend's wedding. He said he'd prefer I stay in town for 2 or so days, but I should definitely be good to go by day 4.
I paid today. All I need to do now is get the number for a local pharmacy and buy some spanx!
Procedure is set for September 15th @ 1PM!!!

A public watchdog group is charging the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops with openly politicking on behalf of Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, and it wants the Internal Revenue Service to explore revoking the hierarchy's tax-exempt status.
"In completely unqualified terms, the IRS should immediately tell the Conference of Catholic Bishops that the conduct of its members is beyond the pale," said Melanie Sloan, executive director of Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington.
"If the Catholic bishops would like to continue receiving the tremendous tax benefits on which they rely, they should follow U.S. law and stay out of American politics," Sloan added in a statement Nov. 2 announcing the complaint.
Sloan argued that last-minute appeals by numerous bishops had crossed the line into electioneering. She named several prelates, including Bishop Daniel Jenky of Peoria, Ill., a fierce critic of President Barack Obama, who ordered his priests to read a letter at all Masses on Sunday that sharply criticized Democratic policies and warned that Catholics who voted for those policies would endanger their eternal salvation.
Although the complaint targets the bishops' conference, the conference itself has no control over what individual bishops do or do not say. While the USCCB has been waging a fierce political battle with the Obama White House over a contraception mandate, it has been careful not to endorse either candidate.
The bishops under scrutiny deny they are being partisan and say they are only stating Catholic teaching and pointing out that Democratic policies violate those teachings.
Complaints to the IRS about the Catholic church are relatively infrequent; church-state watchdogs have generally targeted evangelical churches and other groups associated with the Christian right for violating laws on politicking from the pulpit.
The Freedom From Religion Foundation, a secularist group based in Madison, Wis., on Monday announced it had filed a report with the IRS charging evangelist Billy Graham's ministry with campaigning on behalf of Romney.
The aging Graham, who turns 94 Wednesday, surprised many observers last month by pledging to "do all I can to help" Romney. The Billy Graham Evangelistic Association subsequently took out full-page newspaper ads in which Graham strongly urges believers "to vote for candidates who support the biblical definition of marriage between a man and woman, protect the sanctity of life and defend our religious freedoms."
"The context of the ads and publications by BGEA evidence its intent to endorse candidate Mitt Romney," Freedom From Religion Foundation co-president Annie Laurie Gaylor wrote in an Oct. 31 letter to the IRS.
The complaints may be moot, however. The Associated Press reported last week that a senior IRS official said the agency has not investigated any houses of worship over political complaints in three years, an assertion supported by many experts in the field.
"The impression created is that no one is minding the store," Melissa Rogers, a legal scholar and director of the Center for Religion and Public Affairs at Wake Forest University Divinity School in North Carolina, told the AP. "When there's an impression the IRS is not enforcing the restriction -- that seems to embolden some to cross the line."

Western Institution Building:The War, Hayek's Cosmos and the WTO
Despite the shortcomings of Hayek's spontaneous order, there is a positive side, perhaps even a positive feedback. Hayek left us with a "what if" question and returns us to that initial opening of Pandora's Box, or perhaps the initial onset of neo-realism, neo-liberalism, developmentalism, globalism, transnationalism and other concepts, precepts and adjectives justifying institution building by bargaining and military force. In terms of new world order, institution building by necessity requires fundamental changes in governmental structures in non-Western cultures and nation-states such as China, Afghanistan and Iraq. Such changes are being prompted by means of political, economic and military powers of the U.S. and other developed nation-states, and international intergovernmental organizations dominated by developed nation-states such as the World Trade Organization. However arguably well intended there remains the question of what will eventually result from the introduction of Western institutions into non-Western cultures and developing countries. This article explores F. A. Hayek's discourse concerning taxis and cosmos (Kosmos), in terms of institution building. This article addresses why China presents an instance of institution building by bargaining, while countries such as Iraq and Afghanistan offer instances of institution building by military force, then directs emphasis toward institutional and constitutional reform, and an evolution of Western law in non-Western cultures and developing nation- states such as China, Afghanistan, and Iraq. Although Hayek may have had contrary intentions, his discourse on taxis and cosmos (Kosmos), and spontaneous order, nonetheless, challenges a modern Western world to rethink its priorities and policies, and perhaps even foundational ideologies, especially in the realm of rebuilding non-Western cultures and developing countries.

Present Music's Eclectic Season Opener
Ensemble welcomes indie composer Gabriel Kahane
"A lot of people found Gabriel to be an interesting choice for me," says Stalheim, a trumpeter by musical trade. "Most of what we do doesn't fit into his pop-world approach. But the way he blends various older styles into a musical mongrelism—can I say that?—gives him his own voice, which results in a fascinating little musical ride."
Kahane has performed with a variety of collaborators, including indie-rocker Sufjan Stevens, Nickel Creek's Chris Thile and violinist Hilary Hahn. The 27-year-old pianist blends bluegrass, opera and blistering chromatic counterpart into a unique musical amalgam that Stalheim feels more than suits his ensemble. Kahane gained critical notice with his composition "For the Union Dead," based on the poetry of Robert Lowell. It's part of the 11-song cycle he will perform at Present Music's opening concert.
"He's a very talented composer and performer whose larger works by necessity require musical collaboration," Stalheim says. "That's where we come in."
The evening also will feature two compositions by John Adams: "Gnarly Buttons" and "John's Book of Alleged Dances." Present Music and the London Sinfonietta originally co-commissioned "Gnarly Buttons," and Present Music performed the composition's American premiere in 1997. The ensemble will be joined by Present Music clarinetist Bill Helmers, who also performs with the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra, for what Stalheim describes as "an irreverent whirlwind of a clarinet concerto."
"Chamber music by its nature is complex and intimate, and 'Gnarly Buttons' fits that description," Stalheim says. "Adams is very accessible and writes some gorgeous songs, but at the last moment they head to pretty 'gnarly' places. That's an apt name for the composition."
"John's Book of Alleged Dances" is a collection of 10 dances for string quartet accompanied by a recorded percussion track of prepared piano sounds. The result is a work that easily transitions from witty to intimate to beautiful, but is always wildly virtuosic.
Adams, who's best known for his operetta Nixon in China, has a rhythmic quality that appeals to Present Music, along with some interesting and often impressive orchestration that helps define his signature sound, Stalheim says. "He's also not pretentious and willing to have a little fun," the artistic director adds. "I like the contrast."
The esthetic of both composers, and especially Kahane, speaks to a current musical period that is particularly rich in its styles, creativity and compositional energy.
"Things are unusually active these days," Stalheim says. "The composers are well trained and well aware of world and pop music influences. They are no longer dogmatic, but provide us with exciting choices that are influencing many of our performances."
Present Music's season opener with Gabriel Kahane and Gnarly Buttons begins at 7:30 p.m. at the Turner Hall Ballroom on Saturday, Sept. 12.

JEFFREY BROWN: And finally tonight: living and playing the blues, then and now.
They're from two generations, two different backgrounds and parts of the country. But 69-year-old Charlie Musselwhite and 43-year-old Ben Harper have a lot in common, most of all, a love of the blues.
Their recent album "Get Up!" and their ongoing tour show off different shades of the blues, including country acoustical and Chicago electric, and make a case for the music as a living, renewable tradition. On a tour stop in Washington recently, Musselwhite, who was born in Mississippi and raised in Memphis, told us his connection to the blues started early.
CHARLIE MUSSELWHITE: The environment I grew up in, there was all kinds of music, hillbilly music and rockabilly, great gospel radio. Memphis has probably the best Gospel radio and blues.
And I liked it all, any music that was from the heart, that had feeling. But blues sounded like how I felt.
JEFFREY BROWN: Now, what's that mean? How did you feel?
CHARLIE MUSSELWHITE: Well, I was a lonely kid. I didn't have any brothers and sisters. My dad had left and my mom worked. So, I was alone a lot. And blues was my comforter.
JEFFREY BROWN: For Ben Harper, music was in the blood. His grandparents and parents all played and performed, and the family has owned a music store in Claremont, California, since 1958.
BEN HARPER: My roots were always in the home. And my mom used to play in bands. She's a musician, great singer, picker. And my dad was a percussionist. And so they would have people over every night making music. And they'd put us to bed around 8:00.
And then I would wait until they were really cooking, and then, you know, where they wouldn't be watching for me to sneak out, and when — I would sneak out of my room and sit under the — hide under the piano bench.
JEFFREY BROWN: Harper has gone on to become a leading singer, songwriter and guitarist, with a string of albums and two Grammy Awards.
Charlie Musselwhite's musical education — and what an education it was — came in the 1960s in Chicago, where he went as a young man to look for a factory job. He wasn't even thinking of a career as a musician, just enjoying the local blues scene with the likes of Muddy Waters and Elmore James. He did know how to play the harmonica, though, and was ready when he got the chance to use it.
CHARLIE MUSSELWHITE: Sitting in wasn't unusual.
I mean, these clubs were open to 4:00 or 5:00 in the morning, and that's a lot of time to kill. So, a guy like Muddy would have people sitting in all the time. A lot of musicians hung out there. They would sit in, or even, like, a housewife from down the street would get up and sing a song, or the bartender might get up and play guitar or something.
It was real casual.
JEFFREY BROWN: Yes.
CHARLIE MUSSELWHITE: But it was strictly adults. There was nobody my age in these clubs, and there was nobody white in these clubs.
So, a young whippersnapper like me getting up on the stage to play was real unusual.
JEFFREY BROWN: Accepted by Muddy Waters, Musselwhite started to get invitations to play and record with others, one of a handful of white musicians in such exalted blues company.
Ben Harper heard these recordings as a child and says he admired the music and later the man.
BEN HARPER: Charlie transcends race in a way that I have never witnessed.
JEFFREY BROWN: Really?
BEN HARPER: Yes.
And I have been a — I have been — being of a mixed race, I have had a heightened racial awareness, had to. And I have never seen anybody who just breaks down those barriers in the way Charlie does.
JEFFREY BROWN: And what explains that?
BEN HARPER: If I could explain it, I would market it, because it is so special.
BEN HARPER: He renders a room culturally neutral. He just makes everybody at ease with who they are.
JEFFREY BROWN: Of course, it's what Musselwhite does with his harmonica that most attracted Ben Harper and so many others over the years who've asked the master to collaborate.
I think people look at a harmonica and say, that's a little instrument.
CHARLIE MUSSELWHITE: It's a toy.
JEFFREY BROWN: It's a toy in a sense for some people. How do you think of it?
CHARLIE MUSSELWHITE: I try not to think about it as an instrument. I just think about the feeling and the sound I hear inside and how to get that out. I'm not thinking about, well, it's got 10 holes and these reeds go this way and all these limitations.
I just try to take what I feel inside and push it through there and give it to you.
BEN HARPER: OK, now I have got to jump in, because, you know, I'm a music store brat. I mean, I grew up taking violins apart and putting them back together and re-hairing violin bows and such.
I wish we had an open harmonica here, because you take off the faceplate of a harmonica, there is a lot going on in there, man. I mean, they are so complex.
JEFFREY BROWN: Today, Ben Harper and Charlie Musselwhite say they have been talking about recording and playing together for more than a decade. One thing or another always got in the way, until now.
BEN HARPER: Every once in a while, if you time it right, you can grab that thing without — you know, you have got to reach out, push, push. And this was like a moment to grasp.
CHARLIE MUSSELWHITE: Playing with Ben is just fun.
JEFFREY BROWN: Fun, huh?
CHARLIE MUSSELWHITE: It makes me feel good. And this is what the blues is supposed to do, make you feel good. It's your comforter when you're down and it's your buddy when you're up. It's all-purpose music.
BEN HARPER: All-purpose music.
JEFFREY BROWN: All-purpose music.
BEN HARPER: That might be the next record title. That's good, all-purpose blues.
JEFFREY BROWN: The Musselwhite-Harper tour continues this summer and into the fall.

Just completed 8.1 miles in 9:01/mile with last 2.1 at GMP (8:40). What a difference taking the RD yesterday makes! That was much better than just "getting the miles in" yesterday.
Not much time for shoutouts, but having just come off an injury last week and reading your particulars, Lindsay, I'd strongly urge a doc visit. If you take 3-4 days off completely and there is not demonstrable progress, then you are better off finding out exactly what the problem is. The sooner you start getting better, the sooner you start running better.

With the recent hacks into Sony Pictures' servers, many internal discussions revolving Sony's movie franchises have come to the surface, much to the dismay of the renowned movie studio. Among these leaks, is the exciting development of Sony's discussions with Marvel Studios in sharing their most valuable franchise in Spider-Man. Rumors had surfaced about these discussions months ago, but now it has become clear as to what was negotiated between the studios. Marvel fans everywhere were excited to hear that the poster-boy of the company could finally be included in Marvel Studios' ever-expanding Marvel Cinematic Universe. Unfortunately, along with the news that discussions were indeed happening, it was revealed that Sony had declined Marvel's initial offer. However, it's important to note that negotiation are still ongoing as Sony is reeling from these very damaging information hacks, the declining value of the Spider-Man franchise, and the overall decline of the Sony corporation as a whole.
According to the latest rumor from Latino Review, it was revealed that Marvel was negotiating to split the production costs of new Spider-Man movie 60/40, with Marvel taking on the higher percentage in exchange for creative control over the franchise. In my opinion, this is exactly the kind of deal that Sony needs to help bring their Spidey franchise back from the doldrums after the financially and critically disappointing The Amazing Spider-Man 2. TASM2 made less than the first installment both domestically and overall worldwide to be the least successful, yet most costly super-hero movie of 2014. This negative trend in profit margin along with quality level, have put the brakes on Sony's ambitious plans to release a third installment in 2016 (now pushed to 2018), along with a slew of questionable spin-off choices to expand their Spidey universe. Spider-Man used to be the king of the super hero movie landscape, consistently breaking box office records during Raimi's original trilogy of films. Now the franchise is reeling after a nearly Batman & Robin-esque franchise killer.
So how can Sony fix this mess? To me, it's a no-brainer decision to team up with Marvel Studios to bring the ol' Web-head out of life-support and back into the forefront of the public's consciousness. With Marvel shouldering more of the production cost, it benefits them even more with less risk and more reward. Marvel Studios is basically firing on all cylinders now. No matter what the property is, audiences go out to see it simply because of the brand name behind it, similar to Marvel's parent company Disney and the films they produce. After a string of 3 mediocre to bad films in the Spider-Man franchise, audiences are becoming wary, and that can be seen in its declining box office intake. Meanwhile, after The Avengers became a huge phenomenon, every Marvel movie has made considerably more than its previous installment to the point where a third string property like Guardians of the Galaxy became the highest grossing superhero movie of 2014. That alone has to have Sony very concerned and why it makes all the sense in the world for Sony to take the deal.
On top of having the Marvel name in front of the franchise, it will also have creative powers like Kevin Feige overseeing the franchise's development and how it will fit into the MCU. This singular and clear vision from the top cannot be understated, and is a huge reason why these other cinematic universes at Fox, DC, and especially Sony, have yet to match up with the consistency that Marvel has become known for. Avi Arad and the suits at Sony have become overwhelmingly controlling of the Spidey franchise, starting with Spider-Man 3 and its infamous villain overload (among other issues), and now to TASM2 being a complete mess. It's clear that Avi Arad has to go, stepping aside for Feige to do what he does best. Relinquishing creative control may be a hard pill to swallow for Sony, but it is a necessary one if they are to finally do the character justice.
The issue of yet another reboot being made in such a short time is one that has to be handled delicately if Marvel is able to successfully bring Spidey into the MCU. Introducing him in Captain America: Civil War is a great way to do this, introducing audiences to the character briefly (as they are with Black Panther) to eventually spin him off into his own films. Unfortunately for Andrew Garfield and fans of his portrayal of Peter Parker, Marvel will have to recast the role as to sever ties from TASM franchise. It's also vital that they avoid retelling his origin story yet again, and instead opt for a flashback method to reveal his past, similar to the excellent Spectacular Spider-Man animated series. Or even just a short five minute opening montage ala Incredible Hulk could work just as well. If done correctly, Spidey can fit right in with the MCU and we may finally get that Spidey and Iron Man banter battle we're all craving to see.
Tucked underneath the big discussion news, was the possibility of Sony producing an animated Spider-Man movie with Phil Lord and Chris Miller at the helm. This is a very exciting prospect and one I could see being just as great as the talented duo's other hit movies like The Lego Movie or 21 Jump Street. However, instead of making it animated, I say they should hire them to take on the Spider-Man reboot films. Their brand of humor and sheer creativity would be absolutely perfect for the wise-cracking Web-head!
If Sony does indeed agree to the deal, I could see Spidey return to greatness and not only help reinvigorate the valuable property for Sony, but help it become the billion-dollar franchise Sony so desperately wants and needs. For Marvel, it'd be yet another big feather in their cap and could even open the opportunity to release even more Marvel movies per year with a second studio in tow. Overall, it's a win-win for both studios and something that absolutely NEEDS to happen in this increasingly crowded superhero and shared universe landscape.

England battled hard to post a first-innings score of 257 for seven in the crucial fourth one-day international against India.
The tourists, who need a win to stay in the series, lost the toss and were inserted in tricky conditions, but dug in to give their bowlers something defendable.
Alastair Cook and Kevin Pietersen both made 76, the former cut off by a risible lbw decision, and Joe Root confirmed his rising-star status with 57 not out in 45 balls as England added 101 in the the last 10 overs.
Cook kickstarted the innings with three boundaries off Shami Ahmed's third over, with Bell briefly following his lead with two of his own against Bhuvneshwar Kumar. But it was not his day and he fell in ugly fashion, charging Ishant Sharma and spoonfeeding a thick edge down third man's throat.
With Sharma showing great control, it took Pietersen 13 balls to get off the mark and after 22 deliveries he had only two runs. But Cook was doing enough at the other end to prevent stagnation and Pietersen slowly started to work the ball around as England settled for steady accumulation.
It took a poor decision from Sudhir Asnani to change things, Cook given lbw for 76 to a ball pitching well outside leg.
The platform should have suited England's middle order, but instead India took advantage of their good fortune, aided by some slack batting. Eoin Morgan (three) and Samit Patel (one) played desperate shots, Morgan chipping Ravichandran Ashwin to long-on off the leading edge and Patel easing a return catch to Ravindra Jadeja after a torrid 10-minute stay.
After an edge took Pietersen past 50 in 84 balls, he moved up a gear, striking four more boundaries and one towering six off Sharma to move swiftly to 76. Sharma replied by bowling Pietersen with a yorker.
Root played fluently at the other end, scoring at around a run a ball before swatting Ashwin for six and cutting him for four more.
He was dropped, dreadfully, by Suresh Raina on 42 but was unfazed, flicking Sharma over his shoulder on his way to a maiden half-century.

The International Clowns Festival, from 24-30 September, is held annually to provide contact between clowns and clown aficionados.
Festival convenor Andy Jeffery said: "We plan for at least 150 clowns from across the globe to be involved, providing performances, workshops, forums, outreach projects and the clowns parade."
There are plans to erect a 500-seat big top for workshops and shows during the six-day event.
The resort's Winter Gardens Pavilion - a former venue for the Green Party's annual conference - will also host workshops, talks and performances.
A showcase of clowning at the Weston Playhouse Theatre will star Clowns International life president Ron Moody, famed as Fagin in the Academy Award-winning film Oliver!.
"Clowning encompasses so many forms of entertainment from mime and slapstick, to variety entertainment and it has an universal ability to transcend language barriers," said Mr Jeffery.
"We are very fortunate to have some of the best in the business visiting Weston to perform in our town."

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - State wildlife regulators will decide Friday whether to ban imported deer into the state.
The proposed ban is an effort to keep Florida deer safe from a cousin to Mad Cow disease -- Chronic Wasting Disease.
There is no evidence that CWD can be transmitted to humans, and the proposed ban is pitting hunting lodges against the National Rifle Association.
State regulators will decide if they will ban imported deer to Florida, and the NRA says the future of hunting is at stake.
CWD affects deer, elk and moose. It turns animal's brains into Swiss cheese. Always fatal, the animals literally waste away.
Staff at the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission are recommending an immediate ban on importing deer from other states.
"We don't have it here in Florida, we don't want CWD in Florida," said Maj. Curtis Brown of FWC.
On one side of the debate are about a hundred hunting preserves. On the other, the NRA.
"Hunting, you get Chronic Wasting disease in this state. Who's going to want to eat a deer if you don't know whether or not it has Chronic Wasting disease?" asked Marion Hammer of Unified Sportsmen of Florida (NRA).
Fearing the ban, deer farmers imported about 450 head of deer last month. That's as many deer brought into the state in any average year.
There are basically two ways the disease could get to Florida: the migration of a wild deer or the importation of a farm raised deer.
Alabama to the west and Georgia to the north have banned imported deer for more than a decade. That makes it unlikely the disease could show up in Florida via migration.
"This disease is spreading," said Brown. "It's now prevalent in 22 states. We're the only southeastern state that allows importation of deer."
If the ban is approved, the deer that are already here could stay but no more could be brought in.

CD 3.1x/II CD Player - All You Need is Love
as reviewed by Andy Schaub
"There's nothing you can do that can't be done.
Nothing you can sing that can't be sung.
Nothing you can say but you can learn how to play the game
It's easy."
My Theta Compli Blu universal disc player is a masterpiece of mechanical engineering; it comes partly, I would imagine, from the use of the heavily modified Oppo BDP-83 optical drive. There is a slight "clunk" as the drawer opens and closes; but at this price point ($2995), you can't expect much better, particularly with the thick aluminum faceplate and all the attention to detail like "Pure Audio" mode which shuts off the video circuitry for noise-free listening when playing audio-only discs. It makes a difference, too, particularly if you leave the player on all the time—as I do—and so does Theta according to an email from their technical support department. But why am I talking about my Theta Compli Blu when this is an article on the Audio Note CD 3.1x/II CD player? It's because, mechanically, the Audio Note (while reliable) needs a little more love and attention to function properly. Like you often have to gently lift the drawer to make it level to get the drawer to retract. So why would you pay $6500 for a CD player that needs so much love and attention? Because it sounds wonderful, equaling if not slightly bettering my CEC TL-0, Audio Note Pallas, and Audio Note DAC 4.1x Balanced that once took up the better part of my right-side custom built component stand, all sitting in one slightly larger than normal size component.
To look at the Audio Note, it seems simple enough: a large brushed aluminum face (although you can get it in black acrylic) with Audio Note CD 3.1x/II CD Player silkscreened nicely in the lower left hand corner. The CD drawer (it's front loading) sits centered near the top bearing the Audio Note logo. Beneath that you see a black and blue panel that displays track information (number of tracks, the track that it's on, how many and seconds remain, etc.) and beneath that are five buttons: OPEN/CLOSE, STOP, PLAY/PAUSE, and two buttons for skipping tracks, backwards and forwards respectively. In the far right hand corner, it says, "BLACK GATE INSIDE", meaning that it has Black Gate capacitors, which I do dearly love. I won't go into detail about the back panel except to say that it does have a S/PDIF out; but it's all single-ended, meaning that the analog outputs consist of two RCA connectors which go to my Tri TRV-A300SER integrated amplifier via Kondo Sound Labs KSL-LP interconnects. I should mention that the Tri has been upgraded a little with all NOS tubes save two contemporary Western Electric 300B's, which makes it really sing. In terms of architecture, here's what Audio Note has to say: "Integrated CD player featuring: in-house custom modified Philips front loading CD mechanism, non-oversampling digital filterless DAC, based on the highly regarded Analog Devices AD1865 chip, ECC88 [tube] output stage with Audio Note copper foil capacitors and tantalum resistors. Available with brushed [aluminum] or classic black acrylic facia." My unit apparently also has Black Gates, as I said.
Now how would I describe the sound of the Audio Note CD 3.1x/II CD player? The first word that occurs to me—and it is a cliché—is "open". I mean that in the best possible way. The treble soars to majestic heights without ever sounding etched or strident and the bass exercises my woofers in a way I only thought possible from the ubiquitous SME Model 30. There's depth and dimension to the midrange with superb imaging and soundstaging all in the best, most apparent, "analog-like" way. While my Rega RP6 turntable, Dynavector DV-20X2 low-output MC phono cartridge, and Audio Note AN-S2 MC stepup transformer do sound more like music, the Audio Note CD 3.1x/II has the capability to send my soul soaring on really well recorded music, all without record noise, and only requiring a little love and attention to keep it happy. I don't mean that you need to take it apart and clean the lens at frequent intervals or polish every CD that you play; I just mean that, as mentioned, you often need to elevate the tray a little to get it to retract and it's not always super happy about playing the CD layer of a Hybrid SACD. It will do it—particularly after cleaning the SACD—but I personally think playing the SACD in my Theta Compli Blu can have better sound. I guess what I'm saying is that best sound comes from a Red Book CD played in the CD 3.1x/II followed not super closely by an SACD in the Theta Compli Blu. The Compli Blu sounds great, but it's more of a "hi fi" sound whereas the CD 3.1x/II more closely resembles music played live or on a really good reel-to-reel recorder.
Don't misunderstand me. I just finished playing El Nuevo Mundo, a Hybrid SACD performed by the Montserrat Figueras and Jordi Savall, in the CD 3.1x/II. The results were stunning and Lori asked if I was listening to opera; however, when I put the same disc in the Compli Blu, I both lost and gained something. I lost a certain presence and musicality. I gained a sense of explosiveness and a greater dynamic range. So maybe for The 1812 Overture the Compli Blu playing the "pure" SACD would be musically more satisfying; but with El Nuevo Mundo, it was really close. I think I preferred the Audio Note's interpretation to the Theta's; but with the Theta, it was nice to get my hemp woofers moving. And, yes, I was using very warmed up machines in both cases and put the Theta in "Pure Audio" mode, which does make a difference. Of course, the Audio Note had much better cables; but the Theta had a specially-dedicated and optimized Equi=Tech. So, in both cases, there were, "cheats". Listening late at night to Number Five by Tom Harrell through my Audez'e LCD-2 headphones with Moon Audio Silver Dragon balanced cables driven by a Woo WA 22 with CV181-ZShugang 50 Years Treasure tubes, the CD 3.1x/II reveals the difference in each track in a startling way; you can almost hear the mood of the players change as you progress through the disc, starting out very "hoppy" but ending on a "cool" note. It's that kind of magic that I've only really gotten from the CD 3.1x/II.
As one test, I played all of Autumn Leaves by Jacintha on 45RPM double LP via my RP6 and on Hybrid SACD both in the CD 3.1x/II and in the Compli Blu. There was no doubt that, in terms of tone and texture, the CD 3.1x/II came much closer to the vinyl than the SACD, and there was lacking of bass or treble extension; however, there was a certain gutsiness to the SACD played via the Compli Blu that neither the vinyl nor the CD layer conveyed. So what does that mean? I guess it means you can't create a strict hierarchy; however, I do think that—overall—when I just want to play music and not think about flipping vinyl or getting that perfect audiophile "hi fi-ness", the Audio Note CD 3.1x/II comes about as close to perfection as one can reasonably expect; and that's why the most minimal system I can imagine would have the CD 3.1x/II, my Shugang 50 Years Treasure Woo WA 22 and my Moon Audio Silver Dragon LCD-2's, which is basically what I listen with each night before I go to bed. I also unraveled the mystery of Black Gate capacitors. The CD 3.1x/II does have them in the power supply; it simply uses Audio Note coupling capacitors as Black Gate never made coupling capacitors. So what else can I say? For $6500 you can buy an Ayre C-5xeMP—a very fine and reputable universal stereo disc player—or you can buy an Audio Note CD 3.1x/II and, if you must play everything, throw in the Theta Compli Blu for another $2995 which, if left on all the time and run through 4.5 meters of good old-fashioned Audio Note Lexus copper interconnects in "Pure Audio" mode, should server to satisfy nicely and dare I say somewhat economically plus play Blu-ray discs.

Game of Thrones: "Winter Is Coming" for Will and Bran
(This is yet another one of those visual rhetoric posts that's born of this frighteningly imminent course.)
You'll recall that according to the first post, Van Patten made Will a sympathetic deserter and oath breaker; according to the second, Van Patten established the family dynamic through Bran's perspective; according to the third, Bran remained the focal point because everyone believed themselves to be acting in his best interest; and according to the fourth and final post in this series, which would be this one, we'll finally witness the "punchline" of the preceding scenes. To begin:
The scene shifts from inside Winterfell to somewhere outside it. It's difficult to tell exactly where because there's a notched log occupying the majority of the frame. Why the log? Because Will's world is now the size of its notch. His world closes in on him as his death nears, so it makes sense that his purview, visually speaking, follows suit. It momentarily expands into an extreme long shot when he believes he's found an excuse that might could maybe save him:
But only momentarily:
Note contrast between these two shots: in the first, the camera is at a distance and captures a large swath of the highlands that are bright despite the mist blanketing them; in the second, the camera tightens in and centers on Will in a medium close-up, and the compositional structure is oppressive: he is flanked on both sides by armed guard and the hill behind doesn't, as the one in previous shot did, suggest freedom so much as unscaleable-rock-that-might-as-well-be-a-wall. He's trapped within the structure of the shot, and the medium close-up reminds us of the fear and pain we saw on his face when he was captured:
The irony of being imprisoned on an open field is more apparent in the above because the framing is looser, but it's essentially the same shot as the one in which he confesses his oath-breaking with one important exception: when he confesses to have broken his oath, he knows all hope is lost. In the shot above, the possibility of escape still exists, if not on that field, then possibly through pardon—hence his mentioning the white walkers two frames previous. But by the time he enters that structurally oppressive medium close-up, he knows his fate.
As do the other characters in the scene, and more importantly, the extent to which they sympathize with is indicated by the distance of the camera from their faces. This may seem like a simple means of identifying a complex emotional response, but it has a long history in film theory, the short version of it goes something like this:
Films used to be silent. Because actors couldn't tell us what they were thinking and many directors found intertitles aesthetically unappealing, the close-up on actors' faces became the preferred means of communicating their emotions. The heightened expressiveness evident in the close-up compelled audiences to pay more attention to the micro-expressions written upon the actors' faces, which made directors pay more attention to directing their actors to wear particular micro-expressions to communicate particular emotions, and so began the vicious cycle that led to the conventions of the modern close-up. Combine that with the fact that we're so hard-wired to pay close attention to faces that we'll "see" the face of Satan in a cloud formation, Saint Mary slumming on some toast, or this Martian fellow looking at whatever it is he's looking at. We want to see faces, and when we see them, we want them to communicate something to us. Just look at my cat. Can't you see the wonder in his eyes? Of course you can't. Whatever emotion Finnegan's feeling might be the feline equivalent of curiosity, but it's inhuman. Its humanity is merely imputed, drawn on his mug by our brain's intense desire to find meaning in anything structured like a face.
All of which is a long way of saying that conventional close-ups have been building on extant brain architecture for more than a century now, which is why the simple act of reversing from long shots of some characters to close-ups of others will make it seem as if the narrative's being focused through the latter. Let's continue with the scene:

Iraqi lawmakers finalized an agreement Tuesday making Kurdish leader Jalal Talabani president and a Shiite Muslim and Sunni Arab his two vice presidents. They are expected to be named Wednesday. The lawmakers likely will name Shiite Ibrahim al-Jaafari prime minister Thursday. Also Tuesday, Al Qaeda posted on a militant Web site a tape reportedly showing the beheading of an Iraqi soldier. The tape's authenticity could not be verified.
EXECUTION REPORT: In 2004, more than 3,797 people were executed in 25 countries, including at least 3,400 in China, Amnesty International said Tuesday. Iran had the second highest number, at least 159 people, followed by Vietnam, with 64. The U.S. ranked fourth with 59. The rights group also reported a trend toward ending the death penalty; in 2004, five countries--Bhutan, Greece, Samoa, Senegal and Turkey--abolished it while several others observed moratoria on executions.

While speaking with Penguins GM RAY SHERO on Friday he said that regarding free agency the ball is already rolling around the NHL. Even though the FA period opens July 1, clubs are determing which if their players they can realistically considerably keeping and, as evident by the move made today by the Phildelphia Flyers to acquire D DAN HAMHUIS from Nasvhille, teams are looking for ways to acquire players with the intention of taking free agency off the board.
First, the lowdown on Hamhuis to Philadelphia: http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=325130
I am makign some calls to see if the Penguins were in on talks to acquire Hamhuis, a player I felt would be a pefect fit for them next season and beyond. Certainly the Penguins didn't have a player such as D RYAN PARENTto offer the Predators. Still, with Hamhuis off the board — I cannot imagine the Flyers made this move without 100 percent confidence he will sign a long-term deal before July 1 — the acknowledged strong market for pending free-agent defensemen has taken a hit, as have perhaps the Penguins play to retool their defense.
With no positive progression on talks with D SERGEI GONCHAR's camp, the Penguins might be wise to consider moving on re-signing Ds MARK EATON and JORDAN LEOPOLD. Keeping Gonchar or LW MATT COOKE would garner a big-pop headline before July 1, but retaining Eaton and Leopold — two for the price, perhaps below, it would cost to keep Gonchar — might be just as important. The only healthy NHL-tested defensemen under contract to the Penguisn are KRIS LETANG and ALEX GOIGOSKI. As for BROOK ORPIK, who is recovering from sport hernia surgery and will be ready for camp — well, his importance to the to the Penguins has never been greater. If Gonchar doesn't return (likely), this corps becomes Orpik's to lead, and I'd also suggest it becomes vital for the Penguins next season to maximize Orpik ($3.75 million cap hit) as a true shutdown defenseman, a guy who plays in all the big spots against the best players. Why pay for a guy on the FA market when Orpik is already on the roster?
By the way, I must credit the Flyers. Their move in 2007 to trade for D KIMO TIMMONEN and W SCOTT HARTNELL and keep those players from testing the FA market was shrewd, and it helped spark a franchise turnaround. I thought then that both players would have been high on the Penguins' FA radar, but the Flyers nixed that by trading with Nashville for those players' rights and then signing them before July 1.

- Wedding: September 2013
Me and my fiance have had a long distance relationship since May because I got a job a summer job in Montana and then returned to school in Maine in the fall while my fiance works in Ohio.
We're both super outdoorsy, so I flew to Ohio for the weekend so we could deer hunt together. I knew my fiance had gotten me an engagement ring but he said he didn't want to get enegaged until we moved in together in January.
One afternoon we were going out hunting together and as we got to our treestands I noticed he was acting really weird; like he was reluctant to get in the stand. He just kept hugging me and telling me how much he loved me! I was so confused until all of a sudden he got down on one knee and asked me to marry him! I started crying and said yes before he could even finish asking me, I was just so excited !
After finally calming down we got up in our tree stands and an hour later I harvested my buck! It was the best hour of my life and I can't wait to marry my best friend.

The 9:00 a.m. matinee of The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2 was a nice start to my Sunday—but I didn't realize until watching the movie a second time that the Criterion had started the movie half an hour before I got there. It's a telling sign of the quality of the film.
The last installment of the Twilight series starts where the last film left off—with Bella Cullen (Kristen Stewart) waking up for the first time as a vampire. Bella's adjustment to her new form turns out to be surprisingly easy, considering the years of hell we have been told every newborn vampire endures, and it's not until half an hour into the movie that the problem driving the plot is actually introduced. The Volturi—the one-dimensionally sinister ruling family of the vampire world—are coming to kill Bella's half-mortal child Renesmee, who they think is a forbidden "immortal child." Bella and her husband Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) decide their best bet is to gather witnesses to prevent the Volturi from taking on any unnecessary violence against the family.
As stimulated as the Cullens seem, it was hard for me to care. Breaking Dawn, the book, really did not need to be split into two movies. We're constantly reminded of it—in the drawn out flashbacks to previous films, the closing credits that acknowledge every character from the entire saga with a short film clip, and, most obviously, the painfully stretched out scenes. Almost every scene in the movie would be better off if it were one-third as long. The movie seems more like a deleted scenes reel than a feature-length film.
The second half of the book itself just isn't that exciting: the plot builds steadily toward a scene that would be described as anticlimactic, if only the lead-up hadn't already prepared us for this disappointment. Meyer never gives us a reason to believe that the family is actually in danger this time. In a bold move, the movie adds a "twist" in the final clash between Cullens and Vulturi (no spoilers here, see the movie yourself to find out) that fights against that dullness for a brief moment, letting viewers feel the fear and dread that make viewers appreciate the happier and sappier scenes so much more. The slight deviation from the book allows Breaking Dawn some semblance of catharsis at its conclusion, even though it doesn't actually break Twilight's golden rule, that nothing bad can ever happen to the good guys, ever.
Outside of this one exciting scene, there's not that much in Breaking Dawn Part 2 to entertain. Though vastly improved from the first Twilight movie, Stewart's portrayal of Bella again falls flat, her emotions toward the other characters muddled, confusing, and lacking the endearing doe-eyed quality that saved her in Part 1. Pattinson as Edward finally gets to smile, a sight to see. Aside from a few brief glimpses of acting ability, their performances disappoint—even the sex scene is boring.
The extra time created by splitting the book into two films could have been used for greater purposes, if producers had been willing to pursue bolder moves sacrificing loyalty to the book in exchange for quality of the movie. David Yates showed in the final Harry Potter movies that staying true to a book's spirit requires changes in the course of adaptation.
The willingness to admit the outlandishness of the series made Breaking Dawn Part 1 the most entertaining of the film franchise. You wanted a mutant vampire baby—well, they certainly gave you one, in a graphic scene few could erase from their brains afterwards. Part 1 portrayed the story more clearly than any of the past movies and grappled with Twilight's identity with great dexterity. In not taking the book so seriously, director Bill Condon finally seemed to give us a reason to take the movie seriously. As a disillusioned Twilight fan of yonder days, it gave me hope. But Part 2 settled back into the mild triteness of the first three movies of the saga, and with older Renesmee being much less interesting than mutant-fetus Renesmee, there's not much of interest left.
While some fans will see anything with Robert Pattinson in it, the Twilight franchise has failed to include anything new that might attract newcomers to the series. The Harry Potter series, and more recently, Anna Karenina, managed to bring an audience of people who hadn't read the books. The Twilight series has decidedly not.
Yet Breaking Dawn Part 2 has held the top box office slot for the two weeks since its release, riding on the coattails of the books. As much as there seems to be a universal hate for the franchise's fandom, it remains true that before it became shameful to like Twilight, America fell in love with Edward Cullen just as Bella did. It's too bad that the movies don't do any justice to a book so hypnotic in its ability to capture readers.

What Brown's speech means
by BBC News Online's Steve Schifferes
Gordon Brown's Mansion House speech has effectively squashed speculation that there will be an early referendum on the UK's adoption of the euro.
A fortnight ago, as Labour headed towards an election landslide, the belief was rife in financial markets that the government would use its huge majority to launch an early referendum on joining the single currency used by 12 European countries.
But within days of coming into office for a second term, the Chancellor has gone out of his way to emphasise that there will be no early UK entry to the euro
In his most important speech of the year, the Mansion House address to the City of London, Gordon Brown quelled speculation that the government was going to use its popularity to launch an early campaign for the euro.
Over-valued pound
Mr Brown's message was reinforced by the Governor of the Bank of England, Sir Edward George, who warned that interest rates would have to rise if the pound fell sharply in value.
That is because imports would be more expensive, so pushing the inflation rate in the UK higher.
The collapse of the UK currency when it left the Exchange Rate Mechanism in 1992 was widely seen as the moment at which the Conservatives lost their reputation for economic competence.
And previous Labour governments, both in the 1940s and 1960s, have suffered severe political consequences for devaluing the pound.
The easiest way out of the dilemma is for the euro to rise sharply, both against the dollar and the pound - but no one can predict when the euro will recover its value, or if it ever will.
Euro-sceptic Brown
Mr Brown has also gone out of his way in recent weeks to raise other objections to the way Europe runs its monetary affairs - raising suspicions that he does not feel very enthusiastic about handing over a substantial part of the running of the UK economy to Frankfurt.
He has argued that the European Central Bank should adopt some of the practices of the Bank of England, such as the publication of its minutes and the adoption of an explicit and "symmetrical" inflation target (which means the Bank must cut rates if inflation falls too low as well as raise them if inflation becomes a threat).
He says that the UK government's priorities are the completion of the single market and economic and institutional reform - such as liberalisation of labour and capital markets - which could take years to come to fruition.
Mr Brown also called for a closer relationship between the United States and Europe - which the UK might mediate.
Conflict with the PM?
So much of the discussion has been about whether Mr Brown's views conflict with those of the Prime Minister?
During the election campaign, there was a striking difference in tone between Tony Blair and Gordon Brown when speaking about Europe.
Mr Blair has been keen to proclaim his European credentials, backing proposals for a European army and an elected Senate in the European Parliament.
But Mr Blair knows that the Chancellor has something of a lock on any decision about the euro, having bounced him into agreement in 1997 that the Treasury would rule on the five economic tests.
And he also knows that he would face a huge political task at the moment in persuading an increasingly sceptical public to adopt the euro in a referendum.
The two leading advocates of early euro entry - the former foreign secretary, Robin Cook, and the trade secretary Stephen Byers - were both moved to less sensitive jobs during the post-election cabinet reshuffle.
Just as important for Labour is the prospect that euro delay will discomfort their opponents.
During the election the Conservatives failed to make much headway with their "save the pound" campaign, which made them look extremist - and the issue still deeply splits the Tories.
So, if a delay in euro membership can be justified on economic grounds, it may also work to the government's political advantage - at least in the short-term.

How many days/months have you been editing there?
I saved my first edit there today.
On the Special Pages -> Special:ListUsers when was the last time an admin edited, and who was it?
Over a year ago, in March last year, I think. The admin has not specified an email, either, so there is no way of contacting them.
Any other information:
The reason I am placing this request is because as a wiki related to Gran Turismo, I feel Wikia should have added it to the Gran Turismo Wiki family upon its inception. Right now, this wiki has ten pages, but I feel that an official affiliation would be beneficial for both wikis. However, if Wikia does not add wikis to the family themselves, we only add wikis to the family if their community feels it is right for the wiki in question. Since the last edit there was saved in July of last year, there is no community to query. Therefore, I am asking for admin rights so that a) I can add the wiki to the GTW Family, and b) so that I have use of Special:Import to import pages from GT-EN to GT5W, which will allow GT5W to tap into GT-EN's vast library of GT5 content. This could be mutually beneficial in that, once GT5W is up and running correctly, not only will they have content from GT-EN, but GT-EN and its family can import any content which is proprietary to GT5W.
