Facelift surgery has a low rate of complications among board certified plastic surgeons. However, every surgery carries risk. Be sure to discuss the possible risks and complications with your plastic surgeon so you feel fully informed before surgery.
Anesthesia Complications
Some patients have serious reactions to the anesthesia or sedation used during surgery. Most anesthetic complications occur with general anesthesia. Possible complications include abnormal heart rhythm, blood clots, death, heart attack, malignant hyperthermia , nerve damage, and temporary paralysis.
Aspiration occurs if you vomit (aspirate) during surgery and the vomit is forced into the lungs. Aspiration can cause mild discomfort, and can also lead to infections, chronic cough, an obstruction in the lungs or pneumonia.
Blood Loss
Bleeding is normal with any procedure. However, if there is excessive bleeding, it can create major complications. If this occurs during surgery, your plastic surgeon and anesthesiologist will be aware of by pooling blood or by a blood pressure drop. If bleeding occur after surgery, it can accumulate under the skin and require an additional surgery. Discuss with your physician what you can expect as far as bleeding and bruising.
Blood Clots (DVT)
A blood clot in the veins can be fatal. Longer operating time and general anesthesia increase the risk of a DVT. They can occur as a result of a medical condition or from immobilization (which allows the blood to pool) such as pregnancy, international airplane flights, and recovery from surgery. They are difficult to predict. To help prevent them, during recovery do not stay in one position for too long and flex your feet often. Patients who have liposuction in their legs are at higher risk. Compression garments worn reduce the risk of DVT.
Drop in Blood Pressure
Some decrease in blood pressure is normal during surgery. However, a sudden drop due to blood loss could lead to irregular heart beat and possibly a heart attack.
The risk of infection is less than 1% and antibiotics reduce this risk dramatically. However, if infection does occur, it is very serious. People who smoke, take steroids or have certain vascular conditions are at greater risk. The longer your surgery lasts and the more blood you lose, the more likely you are to have an infection.
Loose Sutures
If the sutures come loose this can lead to internal bleeding or a hernia. Such problems would require additional surgery.

What you're signing isn't necessarily what the nice salesman says you're signing. A sad tax story in the Des Moines Register today shows how easy it is for a taxpayer to commit to a bad deal. The story, Misclassified: Iowa won't refund veteran's $5K payment, tells how a maintenance worker who was erroneously paid as an independent contractor by a Cedar Rapids furniture store ended up conceding a $5,000 sales tax liability he didn't owe.
Iowa imposes a sales tax on "Janitorial and building maintenance or cleaning" for non-residential buildings. Because he was paid as an independent contractor, Iowa asserted sales tax on maintenance man James Robertson. He argued that he should have been classified as an employee, which would make the sales tax go away.
According to the story, Iowa was hounding him for unpaid taxes and preventing him from renewing his driver's license. So he settled with Iowa for a $5,000 payment. From the story:
But he did so believing that the money he borrowed from a friend would be returned once a federal review process he was pursuing verified his claim he was not a contract worker.
The Internal Revenue Service on Oct. 14 determined that Robertson was indeed wrongly classified, documents he provided to The Des Moines Register show.
But that doesn't mean he gets his $5,000 back, according to the Department of Revenue:
Victoria Daniels, a spokeswoman for the Department of Revenue, said it's unlikely Robertson can win an appeal because he participated in what her agency calls its "offer in compromise" program.
Robertson signed a document during the settlement negotiations saying he accepts that "all administrative and judicial protests and actions filed in relation to these taxes and tax periods be dismissed."
"When a person signs an offer in compromise, one of the things that they are signing their names to is the fact that they are giving up their appeal rights and the rights to get any of that money back," Daniels said. "When you sign an offer in compromise with the Department of Revenue you are signing away any appeal rights you may or may not have had."
Mr. Robertson didn't think that's what he had signed, according to the story (my emphasis):
Robertson said the documents he signed pertained to unpaid tax liabilities, not to his rights to a refund for taxes he never owed. And he said the department collectors led him to believe a refund would be made in the event it was shown he'd been unjustly classified as a contract employee.
This is why any battle between an unrepresented taxpayer and a tax agency is an unfair fight. The taxpayer drew a distinction between tax liabilities and tax refunds that doesn't matter here. It's all just taxes. While the nature of the document he signed may have been obvious to the people at the Department of Revenue who work with these things every day, it was all new and unclear to a taxpayer who had never encountered an offer in compromise. I hope he can find a way to get back his $5,000.
The Moral: In any tax controversy, be very careful what you sign. There are a number of ways you can forfeit important rights. If the dollars are big enough to matter to you, hire a tax pro. It doesn't appear that Mr. Robertson did. Having a guide to the bureaucracy can be a big equalizer in an unfair fight. It's not right to have to pay someone to help you avoid a tax you don't owe in the first place, but it might be necessary to avoid something much worse.
Joseph Henchman, Open Letter: Errors on Peter Fisher's Grading the States Website. The brilliant Mr. Henchman takes on U of Iowa prof and tax complexity advocate Peter Fisher's attack on the Tax Foundation's State Business Tax Climate Index.
Like most people who dislike the Tax Foundation's ratings, Mr. Fisher doesn't like the Index because it doesn't measure things he wants to measure. But the Index only tries to measure business tax climate. It doesn't measure regulatory climate, or quality of education, quality of life, weather, or income inequality. And because it makes states with certain tax policy sets look bad, people with an affinity for high taxes or crony capitalism try to change the subject.
Paul Neiffer, What Gets a Step-Up. "I continue to get questions regarding how much of a step-up in cost basis farmland gets when someone passes away. Again, as with most tax questions, it depends."
Kristine Tidgren, Iowa Supreme Court Says Ag Lease Violates Iowa Constitution (Ag Docket). "Article I, section 24 of the Iowa Constitution states that no lease of agricultural lands 'shall be valid for a longer period than twenty years.'"
William Perez, Should Married Couples File Taxes Separately? "The Married Filing Separately filing status provides fewer tax benefits than filing joint returns, but it does protect each spouse from any tax mistakes the other spouse makes."
Kay Bell, 3 marriage-related tax tips to celebrate Spouse's Day
Jim Maule, "Who Knows the Tax Code Better Than Me?". "No, it's not ME asking that question. Who asked it? According to this story, Donald Trump did." I suspect Mr. Trump knows just enough to hire someone who really does understand the tax law.
G. Brint Ryan, Fee Arrangements are a Matter between Taxpayers and their Advisors. "In an important win for business against government encroachment, a California Superior Court recently invalidated a rule restricting taxpayers from paying performance-based fees for professional services."

I needed to send you a tiny remark to help give many thanks again for these awesome basics you've shown at this time. It is so tremendously open-handed of you to grant publicly exactly what many people might have offered for an e book to help make some profit for themselves, certainly considering the fact that you could possibly have tried it in the event you decided. These pointers likewise served as a good way to be aware that many people have the same passion like mine to know the truth many more with regards to this condition. I'm certain there are millions of more fun occasions up front for those who look over your site.

Thanks for the posting. The saying, "One white hoof, buy him, two white hooves, try him, three white hooves, pass him by, four white hooves, feed him to the buzzards," was also used in the 70s film, "Casey's Shadow." Walter Matthau recited it to discredit a young newborn that overcomes low expectations to be a winner.

It doesn't make a difference ..... If you play four hours at 100 or 16 hours at 25 , it's the same exact adt
Quote: whodat
Tables, they care a lot about time on games. My impression is you want to average 4hrs/day min.
This is a quote from BBB.
This is the question that I wanted to ask. If I only had about 2 hours to play, would it be equivalent ADT if I play $200/hand for 2 hours as opposed to $100/hand for 4 hours?
If I play longer as WoN had said, then it is a mute point because I would have played longer than 4 hours.

Freeze Ahead Manicotti
Recipe by TishT
Really good served with a spinach salad. I usually make a few of these and lasagna's the same time and they are ready to pull out at any time. (It's just as easy to put a couple together at this point and have them ready.)
Top Review by skigb
I read alot of people having trouble stuffing the cheese into the manicotti,what I use is a Pastry Bag and it works like a charm. You can pick up 20 in a box for less than a dollar (at the store I goto anyway). I have this recipe in the freezer, can't wait to try it so I can rate it.....Made this today and we really enjoyed it. Thank you for the post. **UPDATE** I no longer use manicotti noodles, I use those no cook lasagna noodles. I soak the noodles in warm water until I can bend them, pat them dry and spread the mixture over the noodles and roll them up placing them seam side down in the pan.

Free poker program separates luck from skill
A new third-party software program has been developed that will allow poker players to see what, or who, is at fault for their losses: The Poker Luck Meter (PLM) was designed by computer programmers, who are also avid poker players to separate the luck from the skill in poker.
In a recent interview with PokerRoomReview.com, one of the developers, Chris, summed PLM this way: "The Poker Luck Meter estimates luck by calculating money won or lost due an element of the game that is completely out of the players' control: the cards dealt on the flop, turn and river. Analyzing this aspect of the hand is certain to measure only luck since there is no way for a player to influence which cards come off the top of the deck."
An added benefit for users of the program may lie in 'Tilt Control'. After all, when you are getting smooshed at the poker tables it's nice to know that your opponent's are just getting lucky. Conversely, it's also nice to see how lucky you are sometimes!
At the moment, only the Best Online Poker Sites, Party Poker, Full Tilt Poker, and PokerStars are the only three online poker rooms that support PLM's software. Additionally PLM only can measure the 'luck vs. skill' in Texas Holdem games.

ARM and Intel Talk Trash About Each Others' Chances

Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
The war between x86 and ARM is almost upon us
One of the most compelling storylines to emerge from the 2012 Consumer Electronics Show was the struggle between ARM and x86, two architectures vying for CPU global domination. ARM's proponents argue that the reduced instruction set computer (RISC) architecture used in ARM is inherently more power efficient than x86. x86 proponents disagree, often arguing that ARM cores are too weak for serious computing. x86's proponents also brag about their lead in semiconductor manufacturing processes, which they feel will yield more efficient features, putting x86 ahead of ARM in power efficiency.
I. Where Are we at Now?
In order to understand where the consumer CPU business is headed, it's important to first understand where it's at now.
i. ARM
"ARM CPUs" is a rather ambiguous term in that it encompasses two unique kinds of chips.
The first kind of ARM CPU is an ARM core that licensed IP-core designs for the CPU from the UK's ARM Holdings plc (
). The chipmaker then combines that IP-core with graphics core(s), audio processing circuitry, I/O circuitry, and more to form a system-on-a-chip (SoC). Samsung Electronics Comp., Ltd.'s (
) Exynos chips, NVIDIA Corp.'s (
) Tegra chips, and Texas Instruments Inc.' (
) OMAP CPUs all fall under this category as they use full ARM Holdings IP-cores. In the case of Samsung's Galaxy S II,
a graphics IP-core is even licensed
from ARM.
The second type of ARM chipmaker is the handful of companies who have opted to rather than licensing IP-cores to license the ARM Holdings' instruction set, but instead design their own CPUs from the ground up. Qualcomm Inc. (
) is one such player. It primarily targets the high-end American market. It is the exclusive CPU SoC maker for Windows Phone. Another example of an ARM instructions set licensee is Marvell Inc., a a company who primarily has targeted budget/emerging markets like Indonesia and China with its fully custom designs.
Apple, Inc. (
) is also rumored to have recently obtained an ARM Holdings instruction set license, pointing to that they may be leveraging their recent chipmaking acquisitions to build a next generation fully custom in-house Ax SoC, versus relying on rebranded designs from Samsung and others.
So when you hear "ARM CPU" or see Qualcomm chips compared to NVIDIA chips be aware that you're dealing with pretty different implementation scheme, which deal with the same base level instruction sets
Also, to be clear none of this information on who licenses IP-cores versus who licenses the instruction set is official -- ARM Holdings does not publicly reveal its licensees. However, the above information comes from industry sources close to ARM Holdings.
ARM currenty dominates the majority of embedded markets (think dishwashers, microwaves, etc.). It also owns a previously unchallenged monopoly on smartphone chip architecture, and a near-complete monopoly on tablet SoCs.
ii. x86
The x86 CPU dates all the way back to Intel Corp.'s (
) Intel 8086 in 1978. Since then almost all Intel consumer CPUs have been x86. Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (
) also adopted x86 for their purposes. However, Intel is by far the bigger player, still, owning somewhere around 80 percent of the x86 CPU market, according to recent estimates.
The x86 sales model is simpler -- there's no tangled web of licensing. You simply produce and sell what you design.
Intel is the world's most used personal computer chipmaker. That means x86 chips can be found notebooks, laptops, netbooks, and even Intel's favorite ultraportables -- "Ultrabooks".
Ironically, Intel
does reportedly own an ARM Holdings IP-core licensing, as it uses a small ARM processor in its subsidiary Infineon's baseband chipsets.
II. Intel Moves to Stay Relevant
Given the long delays, the arrival of completed Medfield silicon at CES 2012 was a big deal. Medfield -- Intel's smartphone chip -- had been in the works since 2009 at least.
Lenovo Group, Ltd. (
) announced the world's first commercial Medfield phone -- the K800 -- at CES 2012. The phone will launch exclusively in China in Q2 2012, on China United Telecommunications Corp., Ltd. (
). The phone features:
1.6GHz Intel Atom (Medfield) Z2460 chip (single-core)
4.5-inch TFT scren (720p capable)
Intel GMA Graphics
8 MP rear-facing camera
front-facing camera (resolution unknown)
WCDMA 21 Gbits/s HSPA+ 3G modem
Bluetooth 3.0
802.11 b/g/n
Android 2.3 "Gingerbread", upgrade to Android 4.0 "Ice Cream Sandwich" is coming shortly.
Intel also aired a similar handset as a reference design for OEMs who might be interested in toying with the idea of an x86 smartphone.
These devices are buoyed by razor-thin, attractive packaging -- a pleasant surprise. However, it's important to exercise caution as heat and battery life for the new platform still need to be examined in full depth. Various publications were unable to test these traits as Lenovo K800 lacked access to the Android Market, which is banned in China. Without taxing apps it was hard to get a good feel for exactly how good or bad battery life/heat are.
Aside from the two concrete devices (the K800 and the reference handset) there was only one other
decidedly more vague promise
of production of Medfield smartphones. That promise came from Google Inc. (
) subsidiary Motorola how promised Intel, "a multi-year, multi-device strategic relationship."
Of course this could mean two devices in 2013, or 20 devices in 2012 -- the statement is very ambiguous. What is clear is that Motorola is interested in the long term prospects of Medfield.
III. 2013 -- the Real Battle
This year may see a small fraction of x86 uptake in tablets and PCs. But it seems apparent that Intel merely wants to put its foot in the door, in preparation for 2013.
In 2013 Intel will shrink
's successor to the 22 nm node, bringing in
the 3D FinFET transistor design
, which dramatically reduces leakage in order to boost power efficiency (on the mobile end) or processing power (on the desktop end).
Of course Intel is currently only on the 32 nm node for its mobile chips, while some ARM players are already moving to 28 nm. What way the 2013 battle goes remains to be seen, but it is clear that the specialized 3D FinFET feature will drive some mobile sales.
Further, it will be a big year for ARM, as well. ARM chipmakers are currently playing with
Windows 8 latpop prototypes
. While some may go on sale over the holidays, it's clear that ARM's notebook PC position will be more mature in 2013 than in 2012. The same goes for
ARM's efforts to deploy servers
IV. Bad Blood Ignites
We've long heard Intel boast about how it's going to wipe the floors (at some point) with ARM in terms of power efficiency and processing power. Intel claims to have "at least a two year" production process lead over its ARM rivals.
While this may be a bit exagerrated, it does look Intel has arguably a one year process lead or so -- only slightly less that Intel's bold claims.
By constrast, when we met with ARM, we found ARM's managemento be careful not to attack x86 too hard. Instead they dropped humorous observations -- like that "Moorsestown" was originally aimed at smartphones, but only later reduced to a smartphone push only, for the brand.
The ARM folks also pointed to Medifield's long delays, as a humorous observation on the platform's struggles.
At his 2012 CES press conference, CEO Warren East stepped up the rhetoric, commenting, "It's inevitable Intel will get a few smartphone design wins -- we regard Intel as a serious competitor. Are they ever going to be the leaders in power efficiency? No, of course not. But they have a lot more to offer."
He adds, "They (Intel) have taken some designs that were never meant for mobile phones and they've literally wrenched those designs and put them into a power-performance space which is roughly good enough for mobile phones."
Harsh criticism indeed.
But as Intel invades the smartphone space, and ARM invades the notebook/server markets, it should be interesting times for tech enthusiasts. But just remember, the true tests -- in terms of the quality -- will likely mostly land in 2013, when Intel and the ARM chipmakers are compelled to modify their own chips.
"I want people to see my movies in the best formats possible. For [Paramount] to deny people who have Blu-ray sucks!" -- Movie Director Michael Bay

One of the first things to consider is whether or not you decide to match or complement each other's rings. In this day and age it is perfectly acceptable to prefer a different metal than your spouse and different style ring, although some traditionalists will disagree. To be sure you'll enjoy your rings for the years ahead, I feel it is important to choose rings that you love, and this should be utmost in your mind.
9ct gold is made up of 37.5 % gold, the rest is other alloys that are mixed with it, whilst 18ct gold is 75% gold and the rest other alloys. 22 ct gold rings are soft as they are 91% pure gold and thus the gold can wear more. They are also expensive in comparison to other gold rings due to the high percentage of gold.
Palladium is from the same family as Platinum, and stays true to its colour although it has a slightly grey hue in comparison to white gold or silver. It's a popular choice for men, as it is hard wearing and cost effective.
There are many designs that you can have on a wedding ring these days, from flower patterns, to Celtic designs, diamond set to plain bands. You can even have animal prints. Celtic rings are popular in Wales, Scotland and Ireland.
When selecting the width of ring, consider the shape of your hand. Narrow bands can work best on narrow hands while wide bands are often better for broad hands, but the bottom line is always personal preference.
I hope this guide has been useful and I wish you all the best in your wedding plans!

The election had barely been called and the Republican leadership had already made plans to disrupt any and all decisions that would be made by President-elect Obama.
McConnell (R-Kentucky) and McCain (R-Arizona) have already questioned President Obama's leadership. Let's not forget that the President was just re-elected by a majority of the nation's popular vote and won 332 electoral votes. It is apparent that the Republicans had their heels dug in for a long, long time and knew their plans for rebuking any plans that Obama might have to turn this nation's financial and economic woes around. Do we (the people) have to wait two more years in order to get changes? Voters should not and will not put up with this lack of cooperation by top Republicans. They can be replaced and certainly should be. Also, where were these same political figures when George W. Bush was President? We heard no concerns being waged during G.W.'s administration and there were certainly many, many more concerns about his competence.
Kristi Noem has also had her hatchet out regarding the national debt and still doesn't admit that President Obama was not responsible for all the national debt. George. W. Bush had to have been responsible for several trillion dollars due to the wars (Iraq and Afghanistan) and the $600 per person that he handed out to America's taxpayers. Also keep in mind that G.W.'s debt was never included in his budget and automatically went to debt.
We should remember that only Congress (the House of Representatives) can approve and allocate money. This cannot and has not happened with the Executive Branch.
Read your Constitution! Only congress can spend money.

Getting firsthand information from an actual car owner is one sure way to get an idea of car performance once it leaves the lot. Autobytel features real consumer reviews that give the unbiased experience of a car.
TL Tech SH AWD
Pros: AWD handling
Cons: noneOutstanding car. Listed for $42,900, paid $37,000. The SH AWD sold me on the car. The ride, handling and S drive with paddle shifters makes this a four door performance car.
Very nice
Pros: bluetoothexcellent driver, reliable
An astonishing value!
Pros: Hard drive Sound System
Cons: TransmissionPrice range is about $42K. In this range, one expects some luxury, connected drivability, and comfort. On drivability, the SH-AWD is remarkable in keeping the car headed in the right direction whatever the driver does. I would not buy this car without the SH-AWD, it's that good. My only complaint is that the 5-speed auto is not quite up to the task; I believe a 6-speed is needed. I average about 24mpg, which is acceptable for a 6cyl auto with 305hp. The interior is 'nice', but suffers from the normal cost-cutting measures; i.e. dashboard that are black regardless of the interior color chosen. The sound system is second to none (get Technology Package). I will never again buy any car without a hard drive sound system. The Nav system is very good. Would like a better lower back cushioning. Overall, a lot of capability in this price range. You can spend a lot more than this and still not get the features and capability of the Acura TL SH-AWD.
Pros: Power
Cons: StylingExcellent
2005 Acura RL
Pros: Navigation system
Cons: road noiseI have owned the RL since I purchased it as a certified used car. It is alot of fun to drive and is very comfortable, the only item I have a problem with is the road noise from the tires. I have Michelin A/S Sport tires and they seem to be noisy on alot of road surfaces.
Sweet Ride
Pros: Tech pkg. ( Nav/Hard Drive)
Cons: MPG( still breaking in though,I hope) Voice ActivationAggressive styling, not like everything else. Great mix of Luxury/Performance. Love the Tech pkg. Heated seats are nice, but should be cooled as well. Love the 'DC-10 Cockpit' as my friend called it, @ night with all the lit up buttons( and yes I like ALL of the buttons).

The vehicle in your driveway is head and shoulders above the rest compared to all the other vehicles on the road today. Toyota automobile owners have come to expect a certain level of fuel efficiency when driving their Corolla around town. You purchased your Corolla because its best-in-class value and driver satisfaction appealed to your senses; so why would you settle for second rate when it comes to the highest quality auto parts? Your Toyota dealership isn't the only place to buy genuine or original equipment quality repair parts to fix your Corolla.
The handling of your Toyota Corolla depends on a finely-tuned suspension. The main component responsible for controlled handling is a good control arm. All modern vehicles have independent front suspension, which means that control arms give way for each wheel to travel vertically as it needs to. Now that beam axles are gone, so are king pins. So your Toyota Corolla control arms have ball joints that allow the steering knuckle to pivot.
Don't let a Control Arm repair spell the end of your car, truck, or SUV, and don't gamble with its condition by using anything but the best replacement parts. When your Toyota needs a top quality replacement Control Arm, there's no need to trust any store other than the authority, Car Parts Discount. Bring your Corolla back to life with the best repair parts from the experts at Car Parts Discount. Need 2017, 2016, 2015, 2014, 2013, 2012, 2011, 2010, 2009, 2008, 2007, 2006, 2005, 2004, 2003, 2002, 2001, 2000, 1999, 1998, 1997, 1996, 1995, 1994, 1993, 1992, 1991, 1990, 1989, 1988, 1987, 1986, 1985, 1984, 1983, 1982, 1981, 1980, 1979, 1978, 1977, 1976, 1975, 1974, 1973, 1972, 1971 Toyota Corolla Control Arm parts? We've got them right here.

Much Lost really got to me and how every single aspect of the show affected me on an emotional level.
I re-watched The End just for the hell of it and little things still get to me. I still get choked up on all the "Awakenings" Especially Charlie & Claire and Sawyer & Juliet, and Jack And Christians part in the church just tears me apart.
However, little things that aren't even supposed to affect people get to me. What I mean is this: I, as I know many of you have, grew extremely attached to certain characters. Just specific people interacting with each other was always special. Hurley seeing Charlie in the Purgatory world definitely made people smile. For me, Just seeing Jack and Locke talk to each other in a friendly way, helping each other, almost brought me to tears again, it did when I first watched it.
That's why I will always be one of the people who loved The End, the characters became a part of you. I think after the show was over, the first night, I was speechless and in tears for about 5 minutes and the first thing I said was " I feel like a friend just died". No show ever again will do this to me, I am positive about that.

Once again it is the "risk" word in the Reserve Bank's Financial Stability Review that grabs the headlines.
There are "risks to the household sector" from housing and mortgage markets; risks have "increased somewhat in commercial property", and there is a "main risk" from investor buying that will be "macroeconomic in nature."
The RBA view is actually far more nuanced.
In housing the problem is investment. Mum and dad borrowers are paying down mortgages so fast that they have an average two year buffer on repayments.
The key risks are in inner Melbourne, where rents are already soft, where many more apartments are still to be completed, and where many of the apartments are student sized and could be "difficult to sell in the secondary market."
The RBA also warns about the "strong increase in higher density approvals in inner Brisbane". Significantly, despite all the cranes in inner Sydney, the growth in dwelling approvals, remains constrained.
The apartment sector is also warned that in the event of a downturn, foreign off-the-plan buyers, banks and developers might ditch and run.
In commercial property, it is the widening gap between property fundamentals and pricing that concerns the RBA.
"The risk of a large repricing and associated market dislocation … has increased," the RBA warning said that the CBD's of Brisbane and Perth are most vulnerable.
But there is the proviso. The domestic bank's exposure to commercial property, though rising, is about 6 per cent of total assets and well below the near 9 per cent ahead of the financial crisis. Equity is funding much of the high priced assets.
"At this stage, the near-term risks to the domestic financial system from the commercial property sector seem relatively modest, though they are building," concludes the RBA.
The one area where the RBA's view is hard to accept is its confidence in the ability of the Australian Prudential and Regulatory Authority to control the risks of excessive investment lending on housing.
Last week, APRA chairman Wayne Byres told the House of Representatives Economics Committee, that the public might never see how APRA was controlling the risks to the financial system.
But the public would see it. If not in any formal announcement, and not yet in the statistics, it should show in the ability to borrow, in increased interest rate buffers and in the floors for loan serviceability. And it is not. Except in the mining towns where lending is tightening in a classic case of "after the horse has bolted".
One banking analyst, the principal of Digital Finance Analytics, Martin North, said more investment lending is taking place than ever before, with investors accounting for 52 per cent of loans written last month.
"A couple of lenders have reduced their Loan to Valuation Ratios but there is little evidence of regulator intervention," he said.
"In any case, plenty of other lenders are willing to step in – including smaller banks, credit unions and non-banks. Lack of supply means prices will go higher. So, it's a phoney war in my view."
The RBA seems supportive, but the review has a warning. "The overall effectiveness of these actions will be subject to ongoing monitoring, and regulators will consider whether additional steps are needed depending upon the evolution of risks in the housing and mortgage markets in the period ahead."

Please take 2 minutes to save the Affordable Care Act
November 20, 2016
The Affordable Care Act — a hallmark legislation of the Obama administration's legacy — helped give provide healthcare coverage for over 20 million Americans. The ACA has given access for 4.3 million AAPI to access preventative care, and has helped tens of thousands of AAPI who had been denied healthcare due to a preexisting condition get coverage. Over a hundred thousand uninsured AAPI youth now are covered by their parents' plan, and 2.5 million AAPI women now have coverage for women's health services.
The Affordable Care Act has been an unqualified boon for American public health. And yet, Congressional Republicans are eyeing the recent presidential election of Donald Trump as an opportunity to gut the program.
There are many ways we must organize to protect the Affordable Care Act. One thing we can do is to participate in a 'survey' conducted by Speaker Paul Ryan's office to express our support for the ACA.
The survey takes exactly two minutes to take part in. Those with social anxiety can take heart knowing that it is done entirely through automated phone messaging. Taking part requires almost no time, and it is one tangible thing that you can do to help save the Affordable Care Act.
Here's how to participate:
Now, a quick note: I don't know to what extent this survey's results will be publicized by Speaker Ryan, particularly if they don't yield the results Republicans are hoping for. This survey is clearly biased; it uses push-poll tactics to try and discourage ACA supporters from registering their support.
But that is all the more reason to flood Speaker Ryan's office with calls. He, like all Republicans, must hear how important the Affordable Care Act has been for middle-class Americans. He must know how the Affordable Care Act has literally saved lives, and that we will work to defend the program.
It only takes two minutes of your time to try and help stop this effort to end the Affordable Care Act. Please take that time to do this.
Update: I've received scattered reports that the phone number doesn't work. I've just rechecked — it does work, but some callers receive busy signals when they call. Other callers have had to wait up to a minute for the automated system to 'pick up'. If you don't immediately hear anything when you call, wait a minute or two for the message to play back. If you get a busy signal or otherwise don't get the message even after waiting, try calling back. The number does work, but the system appears to be having periodic issues (hopefully because of the huge number of people calling in to express their support of the Affordable Care Act).

About: Medway Maritime Hospital Medway Maritime Hospital Gillingham ME7 5NY
Posted by Gemma B
The care my Mum received today was absolutely fantastic. They were all very caring on a personal level and genuinely sympathetic at a time which is very worrying for us as a family (possible Cancer diagnosis) We can't thank them enough.
There is far too much negativity about this hospital, the staff are doing their best with the resources they have available to them. People need to see what goes on behind the scenes to really understand that the hospital simply wasn't built for the amount of people that use it. We need a 2nd hospital within Medway so it can take some of the burden off Medway Maritime and people need to start using A&E more sensibly!!
Response from Medway Maritime Hospital nearly 2 years ago
Thank you for your feedback about your mum's experience during what must have been a very stressful time and for your kind comments about our staff. They work very hard under difficult conditions to care for patients, so it is always fantastic to receive such great comments.

Julia Benedict is not like most other kids: Her childhood aspirations include feeding the hungry, saving the monarch butterfly and helping sick people feel more comfortable.
And she hasn't even started the fifth grade yet.
The 10-year-old North Tustin resident smiles endlessly at the thought of helping others and beams with pride as she pours over her vast list of volunteer work donating blankets to hospitals, cleaning the beach and collecting cellphones so that military servicemen and women can call their families.
"I always know that, when I help someone, it comforts people and makes them smile," Julia said. "That's really become a part of my life."
In fact, it seems that the precocious and polite Red Hill Elementary student just can't stop working, since she managed to finish crafting a dog chew toy during the time it took her to explain the satisfaction she gets helping others.
The creation of the dog chew toy itself is a testament to Julia's hard work: She and her sisters started making the toys as a way to earn extra money for the Joyful Foundation, an organization that makes fleece blankets for hospital patients, while minimizing trash.
While Julia loves the idea of giving to the sick and needy right now, her venture into philanthropy started with devastating news in 2006, when her cousin Ava Cipriani was diagnosed with neuroblastoma, a type of pediatric cancer cancer where tumors develop from nerve tissue.
"That was a really hard time for my sisters and I because we were all really close," Julia said.
Julia was only 2 years old at the time, but the incident pushed her and her sisters Lauren and Audrey to team up with the Joyful Foundation. Julia and her sisters then collected fleece blankets for the foundation and gave one to their cousin to make her hospital stay more comfortable.
"When we brought (the blanket) to her, it made her really glad," Julia said. "She had a huge smile on her face and it was the first time we had seen her smile in a long time."
Ava succumbed to her cancer and died in 2007. Since her cousin's death, Julia has twice cut and donated her hair to Locks of Love to honor Ava, and she's been actively working with several volunteer organizations.
Now, Julia is known as a shining example of selflessness to organizations like the Joyful Foundation and the Ripple Kids organization, where she's been known to volunteer on a weekly basis.
Ripple Kids CEO Bridget Belden said Julia's family is one of the original Ripple Kids families still active in the organization, constantly donating time and making a difference in the community. She said that Julia in particular possesses a maturity beyond her age since she strives to give back so much to her community and asks for nothing in return.
Belden said the Benedict family will continue its volunteer work at the organization's next event, Kids in Action, which takes place Oct. 19 in the SoCo shopping center.
Belden said attendees will create birthday kits for underprivileged youths, craft greeting cards for senior citizens and plant milkweed plants to help maintain the monarch butterfly population.
Terri Benedict, Julia's mom, says she is so proud that her daughter manages to help people on a regular basis and that her charitable spirit is something that will define her personality later in life.
"I think (volunteering) will affect her in an extremely really positive way because whenever you give back you receive more than you give," Terri Benedict said.
Terri Benedict says empathy toward less fortunate individuals is something every kid should know, and she's glad her daughters have learned the lesson so well.
"It's really about having that great feeling inside of you," Julia said. "When you know that no matter what you're doing, no matter how big or small it is – by picking up trash or raising money – somewhere out there, you're helping somebody."
Julia remains earnest in her good deeds, stating that what she does isn't hard and that being a hero sometimes means just taking the time to help someone out.
"One of the most important things in life is to make good choices and to not expect anything in return," Julia said. "No matter what, anything that helps counts."

Now I feel happy for pirating it, and u should too.
They think they can control what my CPU does.
No AGP on that list.
I seriously dont think the Wii has more/better games than the PS3.
They are either not very good games that get away with it because of the...
Not by a long shot.
But there will be a very big threat from SSDs. Although not for a while.
This is a pretty poor idea.
Anyone without a 1333 board wont be able to buy a Core 2 Duo. They still have the 800 ones, so why not suspend those...
Great. Now all we need is a motherboard with a 2666 FSB.
FINALLY, some competition for the Raptor. 2 years in and still selling at above 200$!
So the C870 is an 8800 GTX.
Ans the D870 is eight 8800 GTSs.
Hurray for globalization!
As long as this doesn't hurt the pirate commuinity, I'm fine with it ;)
Maybe u should change the title of the news story.
There is already a Warhammer PSP game, but its not very good. The new game is a Warhammer...
So its an 8600 GT with half the memory bus.
The DS port makes me laugh. Even on the PSP I wouldnt play it.
Unless of course, its not just a silly port that fits on a console, but not on a...
If you're saying that the DS is for kids, I'll agree with what you said.
But the PSP has MUCH more than just better graphics. It's the ultimate...
Gee, I wonder if the fact that those are the 2 cheapest consoles has anything to do with sales.
The DS and the Wii are not even good enough to...
I doubt the backlight has much to do with the color.
The 2407WFP can reproduce 8 bits of color, and u can asjust the color magut, as shown in...
Actually, it can. Almost no bottleneck at all. And even if u had a bottleneck, it wouldnt really matter.
Stick with the Pentium 4, till ur next...
I've been using my desk as a mousepad for years. It's great.
May want to buy a mousepad for games later on though.. for better gliding.
Ok wait, is the only difference between the 2407WFP and the 2407WFP-HC, the 93% color gamut?
Well, cant u just adjust the colors on the 2407WFP...
Why did u measure FPS?
And ur ping is 5ms?? My ping never gets below 250ms in any game.. maybe u dont need that thing.
Ask and you shall recieve.
Please see my argument against the E6750. I welcome any rebutel, of course.
Overclocking is very important. I ask...
The performance of a C2D? Are u high?
Give me a single X2 that can touch my E6420.
The E6750 costs more and wont be out for a over a month.
Cooling for the 8800 is not "a problem", but extra cooling is used to overclock.
Separate names with a comma.

Okay, this is a newbs perspective, but hey, we are all there at some point. I'm in my second year Monoskiing, and this year the V0 has been my only ride
(Last year I demo'd the V2 and V3, then decided to go with the V0 to get easier turning although Chad recommended the V2 for me). The V0 is much easier to
get on edge, which I really notice when the slopes are full and I'm in accident avoidence mode, or when I've <cough> gotten over my head on a
slope and need to scrub speed through a section - although as my technique and legs both get stronger so this is less of an issue. The V0 is also just plain
fun, and good at keeping the turns where my 8 year old can follow my line down the blues and easy blacks. The edgehold is amazing (this is true on all the
That said, I've got a V2 on order now and I'm told will be ready for MonoP (hint hint). The V0 is great, and I plan to keep riding it, but I also want
more board under me and to start working on carving. Besides, now I can try to convince my wife to give it a go, and have to give it up while she does (my knee
prevents me from using dual sticks).
About Yamas in general, they are FAST. I find alot of my time is spent slowing it down when I'm with anyone else on skis. And, yes, the split tail really
does lift the nose in powder - it's amazingly effective, and you don't have to change your stance at all. The Boards are stiff, and they really do hold
their edge like nothing else I've been on. Chad has been terrific to work with (hence the second board).
The bottom line: I love 'em!

It's time for the Indian Music Industry (IMI) to croon a melody of hope and happiness. In a refreshed attempt to reconcile its position in the industry, the financially beleaguered consortium of 50 music companies, has sought for a shelter in the leadership of Vijay Lazarus, who is famed for his contribution in the Indian music industry achieving global recognition. Lazarus' appointment as the full-time President of IMI comes as a shot in the arm for the organisation in its battle against rampant piracy.
In his current capacity, Lazarus will serve a dual responsibility – as the full time President of the Indian Music Industry (IMI) and also as the President of the Phonographic Performance Limited (PPL – the exclusive Copyright Society of the recording industry), informed an official communiqué. Lazarus has been the President and Managing Director of Universal Music India Ltd, (formerly Polydor, Music India, Polygram). Recently, he took over as the Chairman of the company. Lazarus has been actively involved with the IMI and PPL for several years. He also represents India on the Asia Pacific Board of the International Federation of Phonographic Industry (IFPI - the World Music body). Besides being a key advisor to the Government of India for the entertainment industry, he is a member of the recently formed National Task Force for the protection of Intellectual Property Rights.
On the role IMI has been playing, Lazarus was quoted as saying, "The Indian music industry has been going through a very tough phase due to rampant piracy, but IMI's relentless efforts have paid off and our cause has generated momentum over the years. At IMI, we believe that the Indian music industry has immense growth potential to sustain not only the music companies and the artistes, but also play a part in the development of the economy."
Lazarus takes over the charge of the syndicate at a time when it is laid under a mammoth Rs 1,800-crore loss incurred over a period of three years. Despite being the fifth largest consumer of music units in the world, the industry slogs way behind at the 18th spot in terms of music value on account of piracy-hit plummeting sales figure. "The music industry in the US contributes about five per cent to its GDP annually. We believe that with sustained efforts at curbing piracy and reformed laws and policies, we can turn around this depleting state and revive the rich cultural heritage of Indian music that we almost lost to piracy. I am confident that we can not only better the US average by contributing effectively to the growth of the country, but also take Indian music and its artistes to greater echelons around the globe," the release quoted Lazarus.
Under the new leadership, IMI has geared up to fight several issues that have been plaguing the industry over the years. Alongside the lethal impact of unabated music piracy, comes the pressure of high rate of taxes and, the new-age threats like online downloads and competing forms of entertainment such as FM radio, multiple music television channels, video games and DVDs.
In its anti-piracy mission, IMI is aiming to adopt new legal initiatives and enforcement actions besides enhancing the non-physical format revenues. The organisation is seeking strategic government intervention in amending the copyright act and appealing for exemptions and relief from levies.
In its mission to eradicate the menace of piracy from the face of the Indian music industry, IMI enjoys support from its affiliate members like Saregama, Universal Music, Tips, Venus, BMG Crescendo, Sangeetha, Sony Music, Virgin, Aditya Music and many other of national and international repute.
