85,000 square foot Operations building, a 45,000 square foot

which includes dispatchers, to keep the company trucks

accommodate the time sensitive delivery requirements of our
customers in 48 states. The original fleet consisted of two
delivery trucks. Currently, the trucking fleet consists of
30 tractors, 30 reefers, and 6 straight trucks.Cok

facility had increased in size to 484,000 square feet as

company, annual sales had grown 1,000%. Throughout the
United States, Cok has established an excellent reputation
in construction design, supervision, marketing, purchasing,
production and shipping. His experience in the horticultural
industry has given him tremendous insight into the plant and
flower markets.Lori A. van Hoekelen, CEO, has worked
in the greenhouse industry for over thirty years. Her
expertise includes all facets of financial planning, human
resource management, inventory control, product development
to promote sales growth, and contract negotiations.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized. (Subject to certain rules and regulations.)
About TED
TED is a nonprofit organization devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading. Started as a four-day conference in California almost 30 years ago, TED has grown to support those world-changing ideas with multiple initiatives. The two annual TED Conferences invite the world's leading thinkers and doers to speak for 18 minutes on a diverse mix of topics. Many of these talks are then made available, free, at TED.com. TED speakers have included Bill Gates, Jane Goodall, Elizabeth Gilbert, Sir Richard Branson, Nandan Nilekani, Philippe Starck, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Isabel Allende and former UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown. The TED2014 Conference will take place in Vancouver, British Columbia, along with the TEDActive simulcast in neighboring Whistler. TEDGlobal 2014 will be held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Klarquist is proud to have Ramon A. Klitzke II, Jeffrey S. Love, and John D. Vandenberg named to the 2017 Oregon Super Lawyers® list. No more than five percent of the lawyers in Oregon are selected by Super Lawyers. Additionally, Mark W. Wilson was selected for inclusion in the 2017 Oregon Rising Stars℠ list, which recognizes no more than 2.5 percent of Oregon attorneys.
The annual survey is published by Thomson Reuters, and surveys of attorneys throughout the country as well as in depth research and peer reviews are used to complete the selection process. Super Lawyers can be found online at www.superlawyers.com.
Klarquist was ranked among the top five firms nationwide for representing petitioners and patent owners in inter partes review disputes according to a recent case study by Patexia, an online patent research platform. These findings are based on a review of the performance and results obtained on the patent owner and petitioner sides of IPR proceedings.
Patexia noted that Klarquist represented petitioners in 37 IPR cases from 2012 through 2016. Klarquist prevailed in 30 of these cases, earning the firm an impressive 81% success rate and a ranking as one of the top five successful firms in the nation for representing petitioners before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB). Additionally, Klarquist was ranked among the top five firms overall for representing both petitioners and patent owners in IPR disputes.
To see Patexia's full list of top performing firms in IPR, click here.
Klarquist received top national rankings in the 2017 edition of Intellectual Asset Management (IAM) magazine's IAM Patent 1000: The World's Leading Patent Practitioners. Klarquist was once again recognized as the sole occupier of IAM Patent's "Gold" top tier in Oregon.
Four Klarquist attorneys, Scott E. Davis, Jeffrey S. Love, William D. Noonan, M.D., and John D. Vandenberg, also received individual recognition. Additionally, Mr. Vandenberg was the only individual in Oregon recognized as "Highly Recommended" by the publication.
IAM Patent noted:
"First class" is the unanimous client verdict on Klarquist Sparkman, the runaway IP leader in Oregon. One satisfied customer relates: "Of all the law firms and lawyers I use in the world, Klarquist is right at the top."
The IAM Patent 1000 includes top patent firms and professionals in key jurisdictions around the globe. The rankings are culled from extensive interviews and are based on depth of expertise, market presence, and the level of work on which attorneys are typically engaged. Read what IAM Patent and its sources had to say about us here.
Klarquist has received a top tier ranking from Chambers USA for 2017. Klarquist is recognized as one of two top tier intellectual property law firms in Oregon. In addition, three Klarquist attorneys, Scott E. Davis, William D. Noonan, M.D., and John D. Vandenberg, received individual recognition for intellectual property.
Sources say:
"You feel safe when a case is in their hands. They always perform, and they're basically beyond compare with anyone else I have worked with in the country."
"I love the firm. With every attorney I have worked with, I've had nothing but good experiences, and the people are quite impressive."
Read what Chambers USA and some of our clients said about us here.
Klarquist was recently recognized by TopVerdict.com for obtaining one of the top 50 highest jury verdicts in 2016 in California. It also was the highest verdict for a false advertising or Lanham Act claim.
On June 21, 2016, a jury in the Central District of California found CYME (a division of Eaton Corporation, represented by Jones Day) liable for making false claims about the performance of ETAP's software. The jury awarded Klarquist's client, ETAP, $8.42 million in damages, and found that CYME willfully engaged in false advertising. ETAP had been the victim of a three-year, worldwide smear campaign that started in June 2013. The campaign consisted of YouTube videos and emails distributed throughout the power system software industry. ETAP filed suit in June 2014, won summary judgment in March 2016 that the accused statements were literally false, and got a verdict that CYME is directly liable and responsible for the actions of its representative. The Klarquist team was led by Kristin L. Cleveland, Salumeh R. Loesch, Klaus H. Hamm, and John D. Vandenberg.
To see the full list of the Top 50 Verdicts in California for 2016, click here.
Klarquist has been ranked as one of the top trademark law firms in Oregon in the 2017 edition of World Trademark Review's WTR 1000: The World's Leading Trademark Professionals. Lisa M. Caldwell, Ramon A. Klitzke II, and Richard J. Polley also received individual recognition for being top individuals in their practice.
According to World Trademark Review, "Klarquist Sparkman delivers a pre-eminent full trademark service with very accommodating billing rates. It has a great IP reputation in Oregon and deals with big-ticket litigation; however, its prosecution practice is also a hub of strategic counselling excellence."
Klarquist Sparkman, LLP was recognized as one of the nation's "Best Law Firms" by U.S. News and Best Lawyers in its 2017 "Best Law Firms" survey.
Klarquist received metropolitan first-tier rankings in the following practice areas: Litigation – Intellectual Property; Litigation – Patent; Patent Law; and Trademark Law.
The rankings are based on an evaluation process that involves collecting client and attorney evaluations, peer reviews from leading attorneys in their field and review of additional information provided by law firms. Respondents were asked to rate firms based on expertise, responsiveness, understanding of a business and its needs, cost-effectiveness, civility and whether they would refer another client to the firm. All of the feedback is combined to create an overall score for each firm.
Klarquist Sparkman has been ranked among the Top Firms for Life Sciences Patents by Juristat, an intellectual property consulting firm. Klarquist ranked 4th nationwide for its success in obtaining patents for Life Science clients. Only 10 US firms were recognized, each of which had at least 100 patent applications that reached a final disposition in the relevant technology centers during the one-year period following the Myriad Supreme Court decision. The Myriad and Mayo decisions have made it significantly more difficult to obtain patents on life-sciences inventions, and have made patent prosecution in the life sciences practice groups (technology center 1600) at the USPTO more challenging. Juristat's Top Firms for Life Sciences Patents list were ranked by their average allowance rates in technology center 1600. Klarquist's high ranking demonstrates the firm's expertise in prosecuting life science patents during a challenging time. "Our success demonstrates Klarquist's expertise in advising clients, understanding the technology landscape, and efficiently working with patent examiners to advance the client's case," said Dr. William Noonan, who heads the firm's Life Sciences Group. Click here to view the full Juristat report.
Klarquist was the only firm based in the Pacific Northwest to be ranked on the list of Top Firms for Life Sciences Patents. Klarquist is one of the largest intellectual property law firms in the Pacific Northwest, with more than 50 attorneys and patent agents. Eleven members of the firm's Life Sciences Group hold either M.D.'s or Ph.D.'s in a range of science and technology fields, and many have also worked in or directed research laboratories. The firm handles patent matters for research institutions, universities, and large and small corporations located in the U.S. and throughout the world. The firm's clients include biotechnology, chemical, medical device, software companies and research laboratories, such as Amazon.com, Inc., Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Emory University, National Institutes of Health, University of Pittsburgh, Microsoft, GE Healthcare, Mentor Graphics, TriQuint Semiconductors, Salk Institute for Biological Studies, and Ventana Medical Systems, Inc.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) was recently awarded the United States Patent and Trademark Office's 2016 Patents For Humanity award for their work developing an improved meningitis vaccine production process. The patented technology has led to the MenAfriVac® vaccine, and more than 235 million people in Africa's high-risk meningitis belt have been immunized with it since 2010. Unlike previous vaccines, the new technology created by the FDA raised the vaccine production yield from 20% to 60% and enabled the vaccine to last up to four days without refrigeration. The FDA has licensed the technology to the Meningitis Vaccine Program (MVP) and hosted production scientists from MVP's Indian manufacturer to teach them how to use the vaccine production technology.
Only four cases of meningitis A were reported in 2013 in the immunized region covering 16 countries. In 2015, the World Health Organization recommended that MenAfriVac® be introduced in routine immunization schedules in sub-Saharan Africa. This will ensure that infants are protected against meningitis and will maintain population-wide immunity.
The Life Sciences team at Klarquist, led by William D. Noonan, M.D., works with the FDA to manage their patent portfolio. Wayne Rupert and Susan Graf, Ph.D. successfully prosecuted patent applications for the FDA's Polysaccharide-Protein Conjugate Vaccine invention that led to the MenAfriVac® vaccine.
Klarquist is proud to have six attorneys named to the 2017 Best Lawyers in America® list: Lisa M. Caldwell in the area of Trademark Law; James E. Geringer in the areas of IP Litigation, Patent Litigation, and Trademark Law; Ramon A. Klitzke II in the areas of Patent Law and Trademark Law; William D. Noonan, M.D. in the area of Patent Law; Stacey C. Slater in the area of Patent Law; and John D. Vandenberg in the areas of IP Litigation and Patent Litigation. In addition, Mr. Klitzke was recognized as the Patent Law "Lawyer of the Year" in Portland, OR.
Best Lawyers® compiles its lists of attorneys by conducting peer-review surveys in which thousands of leading lawyers confidentially evaluate their professional peers. Only a single lawyer in each practice area and in each community surveyed is selected as a Lawyer of the Year. The Best Lawyers in America® can be found online at www.bestlawyers.com.

Greer pt 4
I might just have to settle in for a long time loving you while you love other people. That's ok. I'm stubborn, stupid, and in love with you.
Greer pt 3
i still find the closeness to you intoxicating.
Greer pt 2
- I can think of no one else I'd rather have as a life partner. I care for other people, but I want to grow old with you. I want to fight with you. I want to struggle with you. I want all of the bad things because they won't be so bad with you. I feel like I understand you and you understand me better than anyone else I have ever known. You are my soul mate
I still love you and probably always will.

Outpost is for campers who have finished Grades 6, 7 or 8. Adventure in the outdoors is the core of the Outpost program. While at camp, our Outpost campers hone their outdoor living and pursuit skills by learning about low-impact camping and travel under their own steam. As a group, campers learn to be effective paddlers or hikers by practicing advanced skills as taught by our certified instructors. In the Quest program, each out-trip offers different challenges in a unique environment. Outpost Quest campers plan and pack for their trip, take an active role in camp duties such as setting up camp, cooking and clean-up.
Campers finished grades 6-8
• 9 campers, 2 counselors
• 5, 9 or 12 days
• Base Camp program with all nights at camp or Quest programs with out-trips.
• Out trip choices: sea kayaking, coastal hiking, canoeing
• Swimming, canoeing, kayaking, archery, rock climbing, orienteering, hiking and a high ropes course
• Environmental education, creative programming, and campfires
Outpost Base Camp (5 Days)
Base camp is a great introduction to camping and the outdoors for Outpost age campers. This five-day program focuses on building skills and confidence for camping and outdoor pursuits. Outpost Base Camp participants practice skills such as canoeing, hiking, kayaking and archery, play team building games, and enjoy campfires. Base Camp participants sleep in cabins at camp and do day trips away from the core of camp.
Outpost Quest (5 Days, with overnight out-trip)
Five day programs have a one-night hiking out-trip on Camp Thunderbird property. These are similar to Pioneer Quest trips, but with a slightly longer hiking distance seeing further reaches of our property in the Sooke Hills.
Longer Outpost Quest Programs
Nine or twelve day Quest programs have four or five day out-trips, respectively. Campers sleep under tarps or in tents away from camp. Information about each four or five-day trip is provided below.
Outpost Hike (9 Days, with 3 day out-trip)
Nine day Outpost Hike programs travel along the north end of the Juan de Fuca trail from Botanical Beach to Sombrio Beach. They camp at Payzant Creek and Little Kuitshe Creek campsites. This end of the trail is a less challenging portion and well suited to the age group of the campers. The distance traveled is reasonable and the overall elevation gain is minimal in comparison to other portions of the trail and other marine trails. These factors make this trip the ideal location for campers to discover the joy of walking through the natural world. The pace is set to be achievable for all participants, and normally the group travels approximately 7 kilometers per day.
Outpost Kayak Southern Gulf Islands (9 days with 3 day out-trip)
Outpost Kayak campers explore the natural beauty of the Southern Gulf Islands. Depending on the group they will camp on two of Portland, Rum, Sidney and Darcy islands. This trip is a good stepping stone from our base camp or quest hiking programs to our kayak and canoe programs. Most campers travel in a double kayak, but each group takes a combination of single and double kayaks. Paddlers can expect approximately 2-4 hours of paddling per day. While there is no portaging, campers help with loading and unloading boats at campsites each day.
Outpost Kayak Northern Gulf Islands (12 days, with 5 day out-trip)
Outpost Kayak campers explore the natural beauty of the Northern Gulf Islands. Sharing the water with wildlife including seabirds and marine mammals, kayak campers travel to and camp on three or four of the campsites on Tent, Wallace, Galliano, Valdez and De Courcy Islands. Most campers travel in a double kayak, but each group takes a combination of single and double kayaks. Paddlers can expect approximately 2-5 hours of paddling per day. While there is no portaging, campers help with loading and unloading boats at campsites each day.
Outpost Canoe Sayward Lakes (12 days, with 5 day out-trip)
Outpost Canoe campers spend 5 days paddling on the largest freshwater canoe circuit on Vancouver Island: the Sayward Forest Canoe Route. The group travels on the route between Brewster Lake and Mohun Lake, camping at one of the many wilderness campsites along the way. Paddlers can expect approximately 2-5 hours of paddling per day, with rest stops to enjoy the scenery. There are some portages along the way, with the longest being 2.3kms. Challenging but rewarding!
New – Outpost Mountain Bike (12-day program with day trips by bike)
These campers get a well-rounded overnight Camp Thunderbird experience with the bonus of riding their bikes in our beautiful forest and on some surrounding purpose-built trails. This camp is intended for campers who are new to mountain biking or are at a beginner level. These campers will spend 8 program blocks learning riding skills and techniques, building trail and learning to inspect/repair their bike. Our trail network links to the trails built for mountain biking in the Sooke Hills and campers will travel many different places in our region during their program. During this travel they will work on their Mountain Biking skills on easy to moderate terrain (Green and Blue level trails). In addition to this they will learn trail maintenance and building skills.
Campers will bring their own bikes that must meet the following criteria:
- Have received a safety inspection from a reputable bike mechanic within 4 weeks of the program start date (proof required)
- Wheel diameter between 24" and 29"
- Have both front and rear brakes
- Have at least 5 speeds
- Have off-road tires
Busing is not available for this camp due to the space requirements for transporting bikes. All campers must be driven to and from camp by car.
Information in this booklet is updated every year, and all of the information is vital for your camper(s) to have a successful experience. Please read carefully even if you have been to camp before! Life at camp is different from the routines and patterns of home. Taking the time to talk with your camper(s) about their upcoming experience is an important step in preparing. Setting a positive tone and clarifying expectations can really help your child make the adjustment. In doing this, your child will take the most out of their Camp Thunderbird opportunity.

Ideas for a Better World, WorldMUN 2013
Monash University and the Faculty of Arts were major sponsors of the Harvard World Model United Nations (WorldMUN) which was held in Melbourne in March 2013. This was the first ever WorldMUN to be held in Australia.
Two thousand young delegates from over eighty countries discussed, debated and shaped ideas for a better world, showing passionate support for ending world poverty, reducing the effects of natural disasters and promoting peace a security.
Simulating the UN, student delegates confronted diverse topics such as foreign military bases, territorial disputes, endangered languages, the role of ethnic minorities in economic development, exploitation of migrant workers, foreign mining interests and renewable energy incentives.
Over the five days, participants gained experience in contemporary international politics, international relations, diplomacy and the inner workings of the UN. Finally passing a Declaration on the future of the Millennium Development Goals.
The Dean of the Faculty of Arts Professor Rae Frances was greatly encouraged by the quality of thinking and the energy delegates brought to the event.
"At Monash we see a brighter future as more than just possible—it is something for which we are directly responsible; something we can help to create," Professor Frances said. "This is a philosophy with many parallels to the ideals which guide WorldMUN."
Students in Arts at Monash University get many opportunities to explore ideas such as these, and to engage in studies that will prepare them for a future where they will make a difference.

It's that time of year – pet owners are looking for any way to help their canine companions beat the summer heat. Some dogs enjoy a trip to the lake for a swim, but how do you help a dog that doesn't enjoy the water or if you stay at home often? Getting the best dog cooling mat is a great way to give your dog a break from summer heat and even prevent heatstrokes in dogs.
Summer is fun for us, but it can be very taxing on dogs. There are very good reasons to provide the best dog cooling mat for your pet to avoid summer heat dangers. It's important to do your best to keep a dog cool when the mercury rises and dogs are at danger of heatstrokes.
Aside from a heatstroke, dogs can suffer from other heat related illnesses. When dogs are left outside in hot weather without the proper supplies, these illnesses, the heat exhaustion and dehydration pose fatal danger.
In this article, I will take a look at what experts say about summer heat dangers for dogs, how to prevent it and what are the consequences. We're also taking a look at some of the best dog cooling mats and review these ones below:
|Dog Cooling Mat
|Self Cooling Mat Pad for Kennels
|The Green Pet Shop Self Cooling Pet Pad
|K&H Manufacturing Cool Bed III
|Coleman Pet Cooling Mat
|Hugs Chillz Comfort Cooling Gel Pet Pad

What's the purpose of the best dog cooling mat?
Veterinarians and canine experts agree that pet owners should be particularly vigilant in summer, because there are a lot of dangers for dogs just around the corner:
"Heat stroke occurs when an animal's body temperature increases so much that the temperature cannot be regulated properly and brought back down. Dogs don't sweat like people do. Instead, they pant to cool themselves down," – Dr. Andrea Walters, DVM of University of Illinois (source)
Veterinarians warn that a heat stroke can be deadly to a dog, and pets are most at risk when they are not provided with a way to cool themselves down. Unfortunately, some pet owners are either unaware of these dangers, or don't know how to relieve dogs from heat.
Here are some quick tips on heat relief for dogs during summer:
- Ensure your dog gets plenty of water
- Minimize the amount of exercise
- Provide a way for them to cool down
Plenty of water and dog cooling supplies or other ways for dogs to rest from summer's heat are common sense, but don't overestimate the importance of less exercise, as stressed by many veterinarians:
"Take breaks during exercise or play to make sure they cool down and off," warns Dr. Stacy Eckman, DVM of Veterinary Medicine College at Texas University (source)
What are other ways to cool the dog in summer?
Providing your pet with one of the best cooling mats for dogs is the easiest way to ensure he always has access to something that will cool him down quickly. There are other alternatives to these best dog cooling mats, however. Some of them include big home dog pools, or small paddling pools for dogs, or even dressing up your dog into a cooling vest.
It's also good to encourage your canine to drink more water, since many pets forget and are often unaware of their thirst. Dehydration is a real problem for dogs in summer.
Homeowners with backyards who'd like to give their dogs relief from summer heat may look into backyard misting cooling systems that are safe for pets – much better and more fun than a simple hose.
Further precautions to prevent heatstroke and overheating in dogs in summer are no less important when traveling. It's a known fact that dogs' body temperature rise quicker than that of humans, which presents danger in enclosed space (like cars) in summer heat. If you travel a lot with your dog, consider installing a dog-friendly cooling car fan as well.
When the summer weather gets really hot, it's best to leave your dog inside if possible, in the room with the best dog cooling mat and air condition would be good. If you have no options, you can leave your pet outside, but he needs adequate shelter from the sun.

XB4 1-2 at Singapore's NOOB 4WD Race
May 18, 2017
Linked to:
XRAY XB4 2017 Specs
(click to enlarge)
Held on the Monday May Day public holiday, the NOOB event would be run once again on the loose dirt track, providing vastly different traction condition after the previous day's Urban Astro Buggy Champs.
Kum Yew, who was running his new XRAY would prove quickest to adapt to the changed conditions by securing TQ honours. Dennis Chiang (XRAY) would line up 2nd on the grid.
(click to enlarge)
In the finals, Kum Yew got off to a bumpy start when a collision at the new step down feature dropped him down the field. Mark Lim capitalized to take the lead, with Danny Png in 2nd and Dennis in 3rd. With Kum Yew suffering a DNF, the race finished in that order. In Leg 2, while Kum Yew led off the start, he lost the lead to teammate Dennis after a coming together with a back-marker. Calm and measured driving saw Kum Yew regain the lead from Dennis, and hold out for the win. This set up an exciting showdown for the final leg with 3 drivers still in contention for the overall win. After a clean start, the XRAY pair of Kum Yew and Dennis led the field around. With growing confidence, Kum Yew put in consistent laps to pull away from the field. However, traffic at the tight step down feature caught Kum Yew out once again, and allowed the chasing pack to close in on him. Kum Yew once again dug deep and managed to complete the rest of the final mistake-free to win Leg-3 and secure a hard-fought overall win with his new car. Dennis recovered from a rough Leg-3 final to finish overall 2nd, while Mark Lim was overall 3rd.

The moving least-square (MLS) basis is implemented for the real-space band-structure calculation of 2D photonic crystals. A value-periodic MLS shape function is thus proposed in order to represent the periodicity of crystal lattice. Through numerical examples, this MLS method is proved to be a promising scheme for predicting band gaps of photonic crystals.

Choosing an ASPS Member Surgeon ensures that you have selected a physician who:
Look for the ASPS Member Surgeon logo.
What it won't do
Breast augmentation does not correct severely drooping breasts. If you want your breasts to look fuller and to be lifted due to sagging, a breast lift may be required in conjunction with breast augmentation.
Breast lifting can often be done at the same time as your augmentation or may require a separate operation. Your plastic surgeon will assist you in making this decision.
Is it right for me?
Breast augmentation is a highly individualized procedure and you should do it for yourself, not to fulfill someone else's desires or to try to fit any sort of ideal image.
Breast augmentation may be a good option for you if:
Be prepared to discuss:
Step 2 - The incision
Incisions are made in inconspicuous areas to minimize visible scarring. You and your plastic surgeon will discuss which incision options are appropriate for your desired outcome. Incision options include:
Incisions vary based on the type of implant, degree of enlargement desired, your particular anatomy, and patient-surgeon preference.
Step 3 - Implant choice
Breast size and shape are important, so be honest and open about your expectations when talking with your surgeon.
Implant type and size will be determined not just on your desired increase in size but more importantly on your breast anatomy, skin elasticity and body type.
Options for Breast Implants
Saline implants are filled with sterile salt water. They can be filled with varying amounts of saline which can affect the shape, firmness and feel of the breast. Should the implant shell leak, a saline implant will collapse and the saline will be absorbed and naturally expelled by the body.
Silicone implants are filled with an elastic gel. The gel feels and moves much like natural breast tissue. If the implant leaks, the gel may remain within the implant shell, or may escape into the breast implant pocket.
A leaking implant filled with silicone gel may not collapse. If you choose these implants, you may need to visit your plastic surgeon regularly to make sure the implants are functioning properly. An ultrasound or MRI screening can assess the condition of breast implants.
Implant manufacturers occasionally introduce new styles and types of implants, so there may be additional options available.
Currently Silicone implants are FDA-approved for augmentation in women 22 years of age and older.
Saline or silicone implants may be recommended at a younger age if used for reconstruction purposes.
See www.breastimplantsafety.org for current information.
Step 4 - Inserting and placing the implant
After the incision is made, a breast implant is inserted into a pocket either:
A. Under the pectoral muscle (a submuscular placement), or
The method for inserting and positioning implants depends on the type of implant, degree of enlargement desired, your body type, and your surgeon's recommendations.
Step 5 - Closing the incisions
Incisions are closed with layered sutures in the breast tissue and with sutures, skin adhesive or surgical tape to close the skin. Over time the incision lines will fade.
The risks include:
Other important considerations:
Be sure to ask your plastic surgeon specific questions about what you can expect during your individual recovery period.
Cost may include:
Your satisfaction involves more than a fee
When choosing a plastic surgeon for breast augmentation, remember that the surgeon's experience with breast implants and your comfort with him or her are just as important as the final cost of the surgery.

Artist Statement
The oil paintings I create have a style that falls somewhere between figurative and abstract. I paint allowing color to define form, and as the painting progresses it doesn't always resemble the original inspiration. I enjoy exploring the connections and associations between humans, the natural world, and Creator God. When these distinct entities interact I call it a trillaboration. I find many triads in life and incorporate them into my art.
Creating art is a transcending experience for me. I discovered this in junior high art class. Mr. Bill Vose and Ms. Grace Frielach-Grubb saw something in me that I didn't understand, but I loved their attention. They taught me to 'see'.
I am grateful for this.
I have tried and enjoyed printmaking, ceramics, photography, sculpture, but when I started painting I felt like I had found 'home'.
My instructors at Southern Illinois University-Carbondale subtly encouraged this path. Michael Onken taught me about oil painting. Herb Fink, my drawing instructor, once told me, "I can teach you everything you need to know about how to draw well. But you must promise me one thing; after I teach you, you must forget everything I have said and just draw." I didn't logically understand what he meant, yet his words resonated in my spirit and still do to this day.
I studied graphic design in order to support my fine art habit. I needed to find some way to use my creative tendencies in a career, and design seemed the logical choice.
The desire to absorb as much about art and design as I possibly could, led me to Chicago. I accepted a scholarship to The School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and jumped into discovering city-life. I studied design, photography, painting, and best of all Art History. As students, we had direct access to works of the Masters within the Art Institute which was incredible. The few years I spent living in Chicago have had a lasting impression. I was so distracted by all that the city had to offer, I decided to return to SIU-C, finish my degree, and then go back to Chicago. Life has a current all its own, and I was swept away by love.
I got married, expanded my life, and joined together with my husband on a new adventure. Making art was set aside while I figured out how to walk along side another on life's journey. I watched as he discovered his creative spirit and set forth to feed his own 'habit'. We were blessed with two children to come along on our ride.
Like friends separated by expanse, the occasional opportunities to create art came along intermittently. Those visits were so familiar to me, as if no time had passed between their absences.
My compulsion to paint has been a perpetual faint voice calling me. I can finally respond and invite it back into my daily life.
