If you would like to know i you are a good candidate for a hair transplant then give us a call on 844-327-4247.
Dr. Huebner: Dr. Huebner here natural transplants I'm here with one of our superstars Tanya. So you may remember Tanya as we documented her surgery day not even four months ago. So it's been about three months and about three weeks. So in one week we'll be at the four-month mark and we have a lot of interest in Tanya because we have a lot of people that have traction alopecia especially women and there's not a lot of resources out there for them to see what the process is like and so this is really exciting. So when she came in today I wasn't expecting anything.
I was expecting her to have maybe like three or four hairs starting to come out and when you took her headband off today I was blown away. So she's at only three months three weeks and already you can tell she has growth, she has a new hairline and this is only going to improve every month. So I appreciate you guys coming all the way down here for the follow-up. How do you feel like? How is everything going for you?
Tanya: It's going really smooth. Like you said I was expecting minimum hair growth. You and Josh prepared me on like the first four to six months. It might not be that much but it just started growing and it just keeps growing. I don't put anything on it but regular oils and I don't do like a hair enhancer or anything. So it's doing good.
Dr. Huebner: How is the recovery process? Obviously you have scabs initially.
Tanya: Okay so the first two weeks is scabs up but it's not like a scab, scab. It's like almost like you have a bump I guess. You can say and it's kind of a little rough bump and then I'm Josh told me like after the two weeks to kinda like make it come off. Because it doesn't just fall off. Some of them will but some of them stay. And then that that was fine and then on the first month I guess I wore wigs and different things like that and then once I start feeling the smoothness back in I start back wearing head bands and things like that.
And now as you can see I can wear my hair any kind of way. I can put a head band on it and it's good to go. People don't even know what's under there. They don't realize because my hair is so thick.
Dr. Huebner: So you've been doing all this stuff before that anyways so it's not like a stretch to wear a headband or wig. This is this stuff you were doing anyway and so it's an easy transition to my back to normal life and then when she feels more comfortable with the density and show won't have to wear that stuff anymore.
Tanya: I'll say in another four months, how my hair was growing.
Dr. Huebner: I bet it's going to be less than that Tanya. We'll see, everyone's different but coming here a little closer Jerry. I'm going to show because we have people who are interested. So this is where her hair was before and so this is all new. This is all new transplants. So we go all the way down. We've recreated her hairline here so you can see the density and again it at this stage we wouldn't expect this. She's way ahead of schedule so you can see how that really is going to change her appearance in a positive way. I'm going to turn you around here Tanya just so we can see the back and it took me honestly about five, ten minutes to find the incision because you got a hair long hair but it's not just because there's long hair it's because it's hard to find and her own business is here and says and he's a hairdresser, he knows a salon. Well they both.
But he said that it's never been an issue it's really even hard to find for him. And but here it's just you can kind of see where the incision is. It's that little line and unless she decides to shave her head which you know if that ever comes down to that call me first. What's the point right shaving your head. But that's never been an issue for her. She's going to be able to you know no one's going to notice.
Tanya: Yeah and I thought that with the suture line that it'll be thin in the back but I can wear my hair down and you can't even tell at all. No.
Dr. Huebner: Makes no difference so the suture lines again are never an issue for our patients. I couldn't be happier Tanya congratulations. Can we see please. Okay yeah so this is Tanya's husband. Remember him from the video as well and he was nice enough to drive for hours for this. Both of you all thank you so much and really looking forward to her results and I can't wait to see what she looks like even a month from now. But certainly her final result I think she's going to be thrilled and this is really a nice resource. Thanks again because a lot of women are especially women with traction alopecia just have no resources to see what the process is like and to see results and thank you so much for doing it.
Tanya: You're welcome and you guys call me all the time you they give permission and I talk to you so no don't be afraid to call me ask questions because I'm happy to answer.

For much of this season, there's been discussion about Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco's pending free agency and what kind of contract he'll work out to remain in Baltimore.
The discussions have always been framed around the offense, but the decision will have a big impact on the defense as well. If the Ravens use the franchise tag on Flacco, it will hinder their ability to hold onto linebackers Paul Kruger and Dannell Ellerbe after this season. Both players played higher profile roles this season because of injuries and both of them did well enough that it would be difficult for the Ravens to lose them from a defense that may be saying goodbye to both Ray Lewis and Ed Reed.
"Everything that I could possibly want is here, but it's a business," Ellerbe said, via Aaron Wilson of the Baltimore Sun. "It's not up to me. If it was up to me, I'd be here."
With Lewis retiring and Jameel McClain coming off an injury, keeping Ellerbe from leaving seems like something the Ravens have to do but his play might lead to bigger offers from other teams. Kruger expressed similar sentiments, but pass rushers always draw a premium on the open market. That's why Kruger would likely be a franchise tag candidate if the Ravens don't use it on Flacco.
The Ravens have more pressing matters to deal with than contracts right now, but it won't be long after the end of their season before they turn their attention to continuing a run that's sent them to the playoffs in each of their last five seasons.

Now even better:
The new Bosch hammer generation confirms its top position in the two-kilo class
- At 850 watts, they are the most powerful rotary hammers in their class
- They have about 20 percent more impact energy and motors with 50 watts more power than their predecessor models
- The world's first SDS-plus rotary hammers with active vibration damping that
The most powerful rotary hammers in the two-kilo class are now even better: Bosch is replacing the GBH 2-26 DFR and DRE Professional models with a new rotary hammer generation.
The future models, the GBH 2-28 DFV Professional and GBH 2-28 DV Professional, offer 50 watts more power and 20 percent more impact energy than their predecessors, and remain the most powerful rotary hammers in their class. At the same time, vibration has been reduced by nearly 30 percent. This is made possible by active vibration damping, now introduced in SDS-plus rotary hammers for the first time anywhere in the world: a counter oscillator positioned in the gear housing permanently counteracts the air and mass forces from the hammer mechanism, therefore reducing the vibration levels from 15 m/s2 to 11 m/s2. As a result, professional tradesmen can now work with these tools for nearly twice as long as before.
High-powered tools for all finishing and installation trades
These tools have an impact energy of 3.2 joules and offer the highest drilling and chiseling performance in their class. It is just as easy to cut slots and channels with them as it is to drill rows of holes, for example to fit cabling or ducting.
Both tools have tried-and-tested product features such as continuously variable speed control for clean drilling starts, a rotating brush plate for equal power in forward and reverse rotation, a rotation stop for chiseling, a ball grommet to prevent cable breaks, and an SDS-plus toolholder. You can choose between the model with changeable chuck (DFV) and the model with fixed chuck (DV).
The rotary hammers GBH 2-28 DFV Professional and GBH 2-28 DV Professional will be available at specialist retail outlets.

Images Courtesy Robert PaulOk, so the penthouse, here in this apartment complex that we are living in at present, has finally been finished. Yay, hopefully no more broken glass, nails and other life threatening paraphernalia making its way into our ground floor courtyard... from 6 floors up! (we have a little collection of things, we have 'surgically' removed from feet, in our 'dangerous items box'). Rumour has it that the penthouse price tag will be between around 6 million dollars..... I know! ... and they have to use the same feral building entrance (currently in a state of ruin due to muddy booted workmen) as us 'renters'! ... and share our pool... and gym... and herb garden! For 6 million dollars, I'd want my own entrance... pool.... gym.... herb garden.
Same place - close up
... and so I was 'realestalking' last night (as spouses do during the European Soccer Highlights on Foxtel... yawn..... #thethingsyoudoforlove).......look what you get for 6-7 million in Cape Cod!
...and our dollar is sooo good at the moment! ... sigh... any good boy's schools in Cape Cod?

In October, in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Pure-Ecommerce.com CEO Jennifer Varner plans to give a breast cancer survivor who resides in Hawaii the opportunity to own an e-commerce business.
Varner, a three-year breast cancer survivor and resident of Maui, said she "hopes to show others fighting this disease that life does go on after cancer, and great things can be in store for them!"
Between Oct. 1 and 31, 2012, Pure-Ecommerce will hold a special auction just for breast cancer survivors who live in Hawaii.
Article Photos
Up for auction is one of Pure-Ecommerce's Pure Sports Gifts (www.PureSportsGifts.com) plus 40 hours of full consulting and mentoring.
Pure-Ecommerce will work with the winner, taking them through every aspect of setting up, running and then growing their retail e-commerce business.
The highest bidder will be notified and listed on Pure-Ecommerce.com, jennifervarner.com and Pure-Ecommerce's Facebook page.
Proceeds from the auction will go to the Pacific Cancer Foundation's fourth annual Paddle for Life Maui event to help support the Patient Navigation program for uninsured and underinsured women in Maui County.
Karli Smallwood helps patients find resources and support services on the island, such as the High-Risk Breast Cancer Screening program provided by PCF, as well as where to locate community resources and state assistance.
Varner and her family moved to Maui recently, and she wanted to give back to the community - especially to those whose lives have been affected by cancer.
While battling breast cancer, Varner came to Hawaii twice for month-long periods.
"Being here amongst the ocean and mountains helped me heal tremendously. One day, after an amazing close encounter out on my paddle board with a whale and its baby, I knew I needed to move here. So, about one month after my final surgery, I moved to Maui. I have come here to heal both emotionally and physically. I have come to show my children a different way of life. I have come to experience and show aloha to the people of Maui," she said.
Varner's family has been touched not once but twice with cancer. Her husband, Jeff, was diagnosed with cancer just three weeks after their wedding.
Three years ago, Jennifer found out she had invasive breast cancer after celebrating the tenth year of her husband being free from colon cancer.
At the time, she was three months pregnant, and her greatest fear was for the health of her unborn child. She chose to fight the cancer and underwent chemotherapy and multiple surgeries - all while being pregnant.
"Today, my husband is cancer-free! Today, I am cancer-free! Most importantly, my baby, Kilian, is perfect! He is a survivor, too; he took that long, hard journey with me," she said.

In an answer to our globe-spanning, Culture List, we've culled the latest, not-to-be-missed events happening in the U.K. In this installment: a luxury tour of royally favored shops, a twisted play about Prince Charles, John Paul Gaultier's designs on winking mannequins, and more.
Ongoing, by appointment
£3,500, which includes a two-night stay at the Intercontinental.
With Prince Harry newly single, we imagine there's a sizable list of girls currently perfecting how they look in a tiara. Now, with the help of London's Intercontinental Hotel, ladies can not only try to dress like a princess but smell like one too, by signing up for the hotel's Made in Mayfair Insider Experience, which includes a stop at Kate Middleton's perfumer, Floris.
The olfactory haven has also created scents for Oscar Wilde, Marilyn Monroe (although we thought she was a Chanel No. 5 girl), and "every British monarch since George IV." Reportedly Elizabeth I's blend was musk, damask water, rosewater, and sugar, which was then boiled for five hours before being run through a strainer. The tour continues with a stop at Savile Row's number-one tailor, Gieves and Hawkes, as well as including a moment at London's oldest shoemaker, Foster & Son.
Through May 31.
If the Made in Mayfair tour has left you feeling blue-blooded, head north to London's Almeida Theatre to see the world premier of King Charles III. Don't haul out your history books; we're not talking about the 18th-century Spanish king, but England's current Prince Charles. Playwright Mike Bartlett's much lauded, and sold out, new play explores a post-Elizabeth pre-William world. You'll have to hustle tickets, or wait for standby ones, but it's worth it.
"The Fashion World of Jean Paul Gaultier: From the Sidewalk to the Catwalk"
Through August 25.
"The English were the first to appreciate my fashion style," explains French enfant terrible Jean Paul Gaultier in a video interview introducing his current exhibition. The first major show exploring his designs and influences, it traverses his career, from Madonna's conical undergarments to his futuristic costume designs for Pedro Almodóvar. Set over two packed floors of the Barbican Centre, it incorporates more than 165 Gaultier-clad mannequins, some of which are brought to life with the help of multimedia projections, so they speak, sing, smile, and wink at passing guests. And in an act of ventriloquism, one of the figures is Gaultier himself.
Through May 31.
Privacy, a new play by James Graham, writer of the Olivier-nominated (England's Tony awards) This House, explores how governments and private companies use and exploit our personal information. Can someone please bootleg a recording to send to Edward Snowden?
Through May 31.
Watch Sherlock's Moriarty, Andrew Scott, play an insouciant rock star gliding through the last leg of a 15-month tour in Birdland at the Royal Court. The Guardian called Simon Stephen's production a "ceaselessly inventive critique of rock stardom." Exploring the Faustian pact that celebrities make with fame—the pressures, the perks, the paparazzi, and oh the parties—the content has never been so relevant. We'd love someone to buy the Kardashian sisters a handful of tickets.
The Montagu Goes Vegan
Launching May 12.
Tossing out the telltale fish and chips and sausage rolls of English cuisine, Montagu Restaurant at The Churchill hotel have hired L.A. chef Ali Parvinjah to create an exclusive vegan and vegetarian menu for the property. We're hoping to spot Beyoncé and Jay Z at a neighboring table. The menu reads like something that could have been created for Gwyneth Paltrow's Goop: raw-chocolate ice cream, with coconut whipped cream, and quinoa "polpette" with butterbeans and baby artichokes. Yum!
Through August 17
The Telegraph called it "A dream-world whose freakish inhabitants seem caught between ecstasy and damnation." A modern-day Barnum & Bailey, the show features lewd comedy, acrobatics, and lots of outrageously handsome men performing Herculean feats. Set to Sxip Shirey's live score of brass, electronics, hip hop, and club beats, and hosted in a 1920s-style Spiegeltent on London's Southbank, it's a cool addition to London's sometimes-tepid West End cultural offerings.

Playing video games should be relaxing and fun. Repetitive movements, poor posture, and overindulgence, though, can sometimes cause numbness, tingling, and other issues that might escalate into serious health problems. Review the health warnings below and follow the suggestions in this guide to develop healthy gaming practices.
Musculoskeletal disorders
As with many activities, you may experience occasional discomfort in your hands, arms, shoulders, neck, or other parts of your body when playing video games. However, if you experience persistent or recurring discomfort, pain, throbbing, aching, tingling, numbness, burning sensation, or stiffness, DO NOT IGNORE THESE WARNING SIGNS. PROMPTLY SEE A QUALIFIED HEALTH PROFESSIONAL, even if symptoms occur when you are not playing a video game.
Symptoms such as these can be associated with painful and sometimes permanently disabling injuries or disorders of the nerves, muscles, tendons, blood vessels, and other parts of the body. These musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) include carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis, tenosynovitis, vibration syndromes, and other conditions.
While researchers are not yet able to answer many questions about MSDs, there is general agreement that many factors may be linked to their occurrence. These include: medical and physical conditions, stress and how one copes with it, overall health, and how a person positions and uses his or her body during work and other activities (including playing a video game).
Because there are a variety of factors that may contribute to MSDs, this guide cannot provide everything you need to know to prevent an MSD. For some people, following the suggestions may reduce their risk of sustaining an MSD. For others, it may not. However, many people are likely to experience greater comfort when following these suggestions.
Keep in mind that this guide is not a substitute for the advice of a qualified health professional. If you have questions about how your own lifestyle, activities, or medical or physical condition may be related to MSDs, see a qualified health professional.
Photosensitive seizures
A small percentage of people may experience a seizure when exposed to certain visual images, including flashing lights or patterns that may appear in video games. Even people with no history of seizures or epilepsy may have an undiagnosed condition that can cause these photosensitive epileptic seizures while watching video games.
These seizures may have a myriad of symptoms, including lightheadedness, altered vision, eye or face twitching, jerking or shaking of arms or legs, disorientation, confusion, or momentary loss of awareness. Seizures may also cause loss of consciousness or convulsions that can lead to injury from falling down or striking nearby objects. Immediately stop playing and consult a doctor if you experience any of these symptoms. Children and teenagers are more likely than adults to experience these seizures. Parents should watch for or ask their children about the above symptoms. The risk of photosensitive epileptic seizures may be reduced by taking the following precautions:
If you or any of your relatives have a history of seizures or epilepsy, consult a doctor before playing.
Using your body in comfortable postures is important, whether you're working or playing. Not only can this affect your overall performance, but it can also influence how comfortable you are while playing video games and may help you avoid MSDs. Changing your posture during extended gaming sessions may also help you avoid discomfort and fatigue.
When playing video games, adapt your surroundings and arrange your equipment to promote a comfortable and relaxed body posture. Because everyone has a unique body size and because many factors affect your comfort, we cannot tell you exactly how to set up your area to avoid discomfort. However, the following suggestions may help to provide you with a more comfortable environment:
Physical forces
Physical forces continuously interact with our bodies. We may only think of high-impact forces, such as car crashes, as injuring our bodies. However, low forces may also result in injuries, discomfort, and fatigue if they are repeated or experienced over long periods of time.
Consider the following types of low forces:
Consider the following suggestions to reduce the effects of low forces on your body:
Taking breaks can go a long way to helping your body recover from any activity and may help you avoid MSDs. The length and frequency of breaks you may need depend on the type of activity you are doing. Stopping the activity and relaxing is one way to take a break, but there are other ways too. These include:
Healthy living
A healthy lifestyle can help you perform and enjoy your everyday activities, including the time spent playing video games. For overall good health, consider the following:
Xbox One privacy and online safety controls
Use the Xbox One privacy and online safety controls to customize and manage your family's access to games, movies, and television content. Xbox One privacy and online safety controls can be used to control the console and access to Xbox Live, including:

Post subject: Does Mark Ever Look at Our Topics?
I think this website is pretty cool - I have only just come across it, and my obsession with Mark has been brewing for a while. I have just downloaded the CK photo of Mark for my desktop and have to now hold my hand up and admit that I have become pretty smitten with the guy. I wonder like many of you whether Mark ever reads any of the notices - if I was him I wouldn't because it would creep me out, but what do you guys think? If you could ask him one question or make one statement of wisdom to him, what would it be?

Hi Vannesa,
I'm not sure when this website came into existance, as I've only been on the chat board since January 8th, but I do know that Mark visited the site during (I believe it was) the last week of February. Mark Shields (webmaster) told us this in the News update at that time.
We were all excited and a little freaked out, just wondering if he had read anything we said, and if he was offended by anything.
We still don't know if he read any of our posts or not. Mark S. said he "made some comments" about the stie though, and it's my opinion that they were general comments about how it is set up and what kinds of things should be available to fans, or something along that line. I have always hoped that someday, he might leave us a note or a letter, even if it is just a "read only" document that we could not reply to. At least we would know he knows about US.
There used to be an e-mail section where you could leave e-mail for him. I hear they are going to recreate this again in some way. I remember last fall, before I became a chat board member, I would come on here and just browse around, and at that time, there were zillions of e-mails left for him!! It was unreal how many messages ppl. left for him!
I don't think he has a PC at his house still, and I'm not sure of his "computer literacy", but perhaps he will just show up sometime; you never can tell.
If I could say one thing to him right now, I would say, "Mark, I'm so proud of you for quitting smoking!! You will feel better for it, and be healthier in the long-run. And your future will be better for it, too! May you live a long and healthy life!"
If I could ask him a question, I think it would be, "Have you given up music for good, or couldn't you do it in a more serious way, as Mark Wahlberg, and not as Marky Mark? You are SO GOOD AT IT, and we would love to have more! (But don't stop the acting either!)"
I would and could say more, but as you can see, I'm long-winded enuff!! Good topic, Vannesa!!

I just spoke to Mark W's people yesterday, and it turns out that he has been taking an even bigger interest in this site lately. They have big plans for this site, and even plans for other projects related to this site, so I'd say chances are he reads at least some of this. Couldn't tell you what, and reading everything would be very time-consuming, so your guess is as good as mine.

Thanks so much for the update! Well, at least he knows we exist! That's something, anyhow. After I read the daily sched. he has had with "Metal God", which Mark S. kindly provided to us in February, I can see why he owuld not have tons of time to mess around in here!
If nothing else, I hope he gets the idea that we are truly appreciative of his work, and admire his talents, not ONLY his appearance! Most of us are female, so we cannot help that natural attraction, but we also know there is SO MUCH MORE TO HIM than that. We have had several "deep" discussions about other things. I hope he also knows that whatever our faults, we do mean well, and generally do get along well as a group, which is pretty amazing, considering that there are over a dozen nationalities who have come on the chat board! I think the "real-time chat" would be crowded also, if more of us could get it to work!! (It just does not connect at all for me, and I don't know what to do about it.
And I do not use AOL as a server either.)
Just to say that we are very optimistic and excited about this site, and all the things that are "in the offing". I have more time I can spend in here since I am single, but I know most of the "regulars" come on as much as time permits, and we all feel a definite void when the site is down. (Thank God that has not happened but once since I've been here!)
All of you behind-the-scenes are much more appreciated than you will ever know, by all of us out here in cyberspace!! And no matter how far apart we are physically, we continue to remain--
"United Thru Mark"!

Christina you are soooooo rude!
I have only just got around to watching Boogie Nights which is a real sin...
What a fantastic film, Mark is such a fantastic actor, he really got me wanting him to desperately get back into his Porn acting and the family that had adopted him. Quite sad but poignant in a strangely satirical way, although a long film, hugely entertaining (wink, wink).
I also saw Three Kings not that long ago at the Cinema and was nearly moved to tears by Mark's performance.
Mark if you ever read any of these messages I have to say that your chosen profession is definitely the right path for you, long may you reign in your chosen profession and I hope that you receive exciting and provoking scripts that will genuinely suit and show of your talents!

Gone? Yeah, it's gone all right, cuz it was never there to begin with LMAO!!
Actually, MY innocence was thwarted by none other than Da Man himself! It's ALL HIS FAULT! If he hadn't been born "cute-to the bone", I'd have stood a chance, but NO, he just HAD to be "larapin" from the git-go!!
And then he had the NERVE to grow up all adorable like that, and just get more dam*ed cute every year!! And handsome, on top of that! Boy, he's got his crust, just prancing around in his undies all those years, and now showing us those all-too-BRIEF "hiney shots" in certain movies!!
Ohhhhhhhh! How's a girl--er, Woman to maintain her COMPOSURE when such blatant hunkiness is running rampant acrosss our movie screens! I ask you, how can I stay in my former innocence after seeing all those pictures on the Net??? All this carnal exposure is just ruining my reputation!! I keep watching my vids, just HOPING Mark will turn over a new leaf and maybe even follow in the footsteps of his mentor, Father Flavin, (sp) but, alas! Da Man strolls casually on, leaving broken hearts and revved-up libidos in his wake! Whatever shall I do with him? (evil grin...)
Fie upon You, Mark Wahlberg! You have tarnished this once bright Southern Belle!
How shall I evah show my face in polite society again?! *collapses in a dead faint*

The Seventh-day Sabbath
Rightly understood and observed, the seventh-day Sabbath (Saturday) is a precious gift from God. Millions of Christians in my faith community experience it as such. At creation, "God blessed the seventh day and made it holy" (Gen. 2:3; italics …Read More

Holly Ridge will spend nearly $28,000 less in the 2013-14 fiscal year with the help of a grant if the proposed budget is approved.
Holly Ridge will spend nearly $28,000 less in the 2013-14 fiscal year with the help of a grant if the proposed budget is approved.
And, don�t worry, fireworks are included in the planned spending.
According to the proposed budget, which was sent to The Daily News recently, the town will have a total of $1,939,466 in expenditures for 2013-14. Expenditures in the 2012-13 fiscal year totaled $1,967,411.
The budget includes:
� $692,596 for police expenses
� $47,256 for police grant
� $216,412 for maintenance expense
� $197,716 for inspections expense
� $338,772 for admin expenses
� $446,715 for other expenses.
According to town staff, the police grant category is for a grant from the Governor�s Highway Safety Program for a full-time traffic officer, with this year having an 85/15 split between the town and the grant. Of the $47,256 budgeted for the full-time officer, $34,560 is paid for through the grant. Additional costs include the officer�s social security, retirement, 401K and insurance.
The grant will help with the costs of the position for the first three years, according to town staff. On the fourth year, the town is responsible for all the costs.
Capital outlay items included in the budget include four police cars, payment on the police department building and vehicle payments for the maintenance and inspection departments, according to Town Manager and Police Chief John Maiorano.
Revenue for the proposed 2013-14 budget totals $1,939,466 and includes:
� $962,156 for property taxes in the current year and prior year
� $383,000 for local option sales tax
� $150,000 for building fees
� $135,000 for garbage collection
Maiorano said that the July 4 fireworks were still a go since the town had the funding for them.
�We felt tightening our belts in other areas would allow the fireworks to still take place,� he said. �Due to the thousands of people that show up we felt it important to provide the fireworks.�
Holly Ridge will hold a public hearing related to the budget on June 11 at the regular monthly meeting, which is held at town hall, Town Clerk Heather Reynolds said. The hearing will take place at approximately 7 p.m. and citizens will be able to make written or oral comments to the council. Town Hall is located at 212 N. Dyson St.

By Lori Thein Brody and Paula Richley Geigle
Some form of rest is often the treatment recommendation for an injured athlete. The rest may be relative rest, in which the athlete reduces the intensity of training or activity, or it may be absolute rest, during which the athlete performs no activity. In either case, rest for an athlete can be problematic. The research of Coyle et al. (1986 and 1984) showed that a significant decline in cardiovascular fitness can result from as little as 3 wk of inactivity. A 14 to 16% decline in maximal oxygen consumption has been documented after 6 wk of rest (Coyle et al., 1986 and 1984). Given that 3 to 6 wk is not an inordinately long period and certainly within the realm of the time needed for recovery from a musculoskeletal injury, the loss of cardiovascular fitness needs to be considered. An athlete may rehabilitate an acute injury only to find that he or she returns to the sport with a significant loss of conditioning. Fortunately, the aquatic environment can help to mitigate some, if not all, of the potential fitness loss.
A study by Michaud, Brennan, Wilder, and Sherman (1995) demonstrated that a progressive, 8 wk deep-water running program can successfully increase V.O2max. Exercise sessions performed three times per week at an intensity of 63 to 82% of maximal HR on land for 16 to 36 min per session were sufficient to produce a training stimulus. For the athlete, specificity of training is an important element to maximizing the application of fitness. Athletes who participate in sports that involve running could benefit from either shallow- or deep-water running, depending on weight-bearing limitations. When they are able to do so, athletes should "run off the shallow end" into the deep water to maintain proper running form (Thein and Brody 1998). They should include a slight forward lean and take the leg through to the horizontal position in a swing, avoiding circular motions (see figure 11.8). The elbows should be at 90° with the hands open, avoiding a dog paddling motion (Chu and Rhodes, 2001). As previously stated, HR, running cadence (with a metronome), and RPE (respiratory and leg musculature) are all useful tools to ensure that the cardiorespiratory system is challenged.
The cross-country skiing motion is an effective way to challenge both the upper and lower extremities. The reciprocal motion also recruits the oblique muscles to contribute to trunk stabilization. Swimming can be incorporated into a cardiovascular program in many ways. Although the front crawl and backstroke utilize a variety of large-muscle groups, many athletes are not accomplished swimmers and may not be able to achieve an adequate cardiovascular workout. Modifications such as flutter kicks or dolphin kicks with flippers or holding a kickboard with the hands can provide a conditioning effect to the unskilled swimmer. The athlete can perform any of these tasks exclusively or in combination to achieve a sustained workout in the range of 60 to 90% of maximal HR reserve or an RPE of 13 or 14 (somewhat hard or harder).
In addition, using interval training or circuit training can add variety to a program and reduce the risk of boredom. Interval training consists of alternating bouts of high-intensity and low-intensity (recovery) periods. Work periods should last for 2 to 8 min, and HR should be in the 80 to 90% range for the high-intensity periods and in the 60 to 70% range for the low-intensity periods. Total workout duration should be 20 to 50 min (Bates and Hanson 1996). A lower-extremity sample program is displayed in table 11.10, and an upper-extremity program is shown in table 11.11.
Table 11.10
Table 11.11
In circuit training the athlete uses a series of exercises that alternates the use of muscle groups. Again, the workload of each activity in the circuit should be 50 to 70% of functional capacity (Bates and Hanson 1996). By alternating muscle groups, the athlete can mitigate muscle fatigue to achieve the objective of continuous movement with the HR in the target training zone. Each activity may be performed for 2 to 3 min or for 30 to 50 repetitions. Some suggestions of sport-specific tasks are displayed in table 11.12. Increasing the speed of movement increases turbulence, which in turn increases resistance. Increasing the surface area of the moving body part with flippers, floats, boots, mitts, water wings, or paddles will also increase resistance to movement. Flotation devices such as float boards, AquaJoggers, and Aqua-Belts can allow a person to work in a non-weight-bearing situation. Thus, individual muscles and the cardiovascular system can be challenged without the joint compression forces experienced on land.

*Floating squats=perform a leg press motion while standing on a float board.

Suzun Lucia Lamaina was born of Italian and Gypsy descent and began using her first camera, a Diana, at age twelve. Her work is influenced by female photographers, especially those who work in portraiture.
Ms. Lamaina has taught with noted Farm Security Administration photographer, John Collier Jr., at the San Francisco Art Institute (SFAI). She exhibits her work nationally & internationally, and she is also a member of Women in Photography International.
She attended the Philadelphia College of Art (now the University of the Arts), received her BFA from SFAI, and earned a Masters of Interdisciplinary Arts from San Francisco State University. Her approach and artistic philosophy to photography is, "Take responsibility for the world around you, communicate visually, and make photographs which come from your heart!"
Ms. Lamaina & Her Career | The Actual Work | Education Information & Advice | Industry Trends | Closing Remarks
At what point in your life did you decide that you wanted to be a photographer?
I was given a Diana camera when I was 12. I started making images then but I had always been involved in "looking" at photographs from a very young age, (six years old). I am Italian Gypsy. My family is from Italy, and my grandmother had a box of photographs of our family in Italy, photographs that dated back to the late 1800s. Those photographs sat inside the credenza (in a box) in front of our living room window. I would take the box out of the credenza and "look" at my ancestors. I would stare at the photographs; they were mainly portraits, and I would wonder how I was like them. It was probably then that I had unconsciously decided to become a photographer, but I didn't know it. I have always been a visual person.
Tell us about your photographic work. Do you have a specialty? Is there a particular style or method that you use?
I am a fine art portrait photographer, which is a big word and can mean a lot of different things. I define it like this: I make black & white silver gelatin portraits of people in their environments. For example, I am interested in the objects that one has in their homes, which tells us (the viewer) who they are. It could be reflected in the family pictures, which sit on top of their television set or the chaos and order in the clutter, which sits on their dining room table. This, however, is only one aspect of my work. I have three photographic projects going on simultaneously.
The second project is making slides of coffee logo signs that I find walking around San Francisco and the greater bay area. I make emulsion Polaroid transfer prints from the slides onto watercolor paper. With this project, I am interested in the visual implications in the experience of signage. For example, when folks are interested in having a cup of coffee (when in public spaces), they are looking for the logo and not the store itself that will grab their attention to "having" a cup of coffee. These logos come from the local coffee shops in and around the bay area and not the chain stores such as Starbucks. The hand-painted signage of these coffee logos is unique because each one is painted with beautiful vibrations of the swirls of steam floating off the top of the cups. Not one of them is the same. The greatest part of this project for me is that I am not a coffee drinker, so I get to observe folks' reactions on the street when they are "looking" for that cup of coffee.
Thirdly, I am working on a series of black & white silver gelatin prints that I make while driving my car. Using 1600 Neopan film, I make these photographs early in the morning before sunrise or late at night, after 10 pm. The project came about as a result of the intense amount of driving I do.
You've been a teacher of photography at a number of schools. Tell us about this aspect of your career. What does it mean to you, personally and professionally?
I began teaching after I graduated from San Francisco Art Institute (SFAI). My professor of photography at the art school was noted Farm Security Administration photographer John Collier, Jr. He hired me to teach with him at SFAI. We were collaborators, and we co-taught Visual Communications and Visual Anthropology classes in the photography department. Personally, I love teaching because I enjoy watching my students blossom into accomplished photographers. The greatest joy for me in being a teacher is learning from my students. Professionally, I continue to grow as a photographer because the more I teach, the more I learn. Learning did not stop for me when I received my degrees; it continues for me on many levels of my artistic life.
What are some of your proudest accomplishments and favorite projects and why?
One of my proudest accomplishments was working with John Collier. He was a great teacher and a great photographer. (If you are interested in looking at his Farm Security Administration work you can log onto the Library of Congress web site and type in his name). He could visually read a photograph like I'd never "seen" before. By the smallest of clues in one's photographs, he could reflect back to you what was going on in your life. After all, photographs are a reflection of one's self. Right? His encouragement to me was a great gift, and he saw my greatest potential as a teacher immediately, before I even recognized it.
Currently, my favorite project is the one I am doing of my family, in my family village of Garaguso, Italy, located three hours by train, south of Naples. I go home once a year for five weeks. I am photographing the village, its people and life style. My family has been in this village for 300 years. It is a remarkable place where the past and the present live side by side. These 500 year old stone houses now have satellite dishes that adorn the roofs. But at the same time the people maintain their connection to the earth and farming, which is something we are losing very rapidly in this country - our connection to the Earth. I am making visual records of this place. My long-term goal is to set up a darkroom there and teach the children how to make photographic books that tell stories about their lives.
The Actual Work
Who do you work for? How do you show and sell your work?
I work for the University of California, Santa Cruz extension program and the Walnut Creek Arts program. I exhibit my photographic work by showing it in galleries. I enter my photographs into at least four competitions a year. I sell my work via the gallery exhibition's and private collectors.
What kind of camera do you use most often? Do you use any others for specific reasons or projects? What are some of the most important attachments that you use?
The camera I use most often is my Canon A-1. I have had this camera since the 1970's. It is a great camera! The body was built for journalism use; it is very strong and durable. It was made to be bounced around a lot and take the wear and tear. I love this camera because of the beautiful craftsmanship that went into building it. I have the entire FD series lenses that go with this camera. I like all the older camera equipment because it was built to last. It has automatic and manual features, which gives me the option to choose how I want to work. Most of the new 35mm cameras on the market only have the F-stops and shutter speeds located inside.
As a photographer, I believe it is very important to know how the camera works as a machine. With all the functions being internal in cameras now, students do not get to actually feel how the equipment works - for example, turning the aperture setting or changing the shutter speed button. I use my 50mm lens to make my portraits, and people who like my work are amazed at the fine quality of the prints. I believe it has a lot to do with the photographer and not the equipment. In other words, one can have all the equipment in the world, but it will not make great photographs unless the person behind the lens has a vision.
What about other equipment and facilities? What does a photographer need, and do they most often own, rent or lease things like enlargers, dark rooms, studios, etc.?
Each photographer is different, in terms of equipment and facilities. Someone reading this may say that a photographer should have all up-to-date equipment and, depending on the project(s) that each photographer is working on, this is true. Studio equipment is usually rented, unless you have a wealth of funds to invest in studio equipment. For some photographers, it is in their own best interest to have a darkroom/studio space in their home. Other photographers find a place to rent darkroom/studio space.
What are the major professional organizations for photographers? How important is the role they play in the industry?
There are a vast number of professional organizations for photographers. They play a major role in the industry because they give photographers a place to focus their ideas, connect with other photographers and create a forum in which to present their work, be it commercial or fine art photography.
Here are a few organizations that folks may be interested in looking at. All of them have web sites and are uniquely different in what they support in the world of photography. To find out the details of what they offer go to their web site.
- Women in Photography International
- Center for Creative Photography (located at the University of Arizona)
- Center for Photographic Art (located in Carmel, California)
- The Center for Photography At Woodstock (located in Woodstock, NY)
- Center for Documentary Studies (located at Duke University).
- Society for Photographic Education (Miami University, Oxford, OH)
- International Center of Photography (located in New York City).
- Fondazione Studio Marangoni (located in Florence, Italy)
What's the difference between the typical expectations and the reality of a career in your line of work?
The typical exceptions and the reality of a career in photography differs vastly from photographer to photographer. For example, if your expectation is to be a commercial photographer, you seek out a commercial photography school, like the Brooks Institute of Photography, and study commercial photography. This can lead to many areas of work, such as advertising, within the food, graphics, modeling, and the world of fashion photography (only to name a few avenues).
In the world of fine art photography, you may have your heart set on trying to find a full/part time teaching position within the university system, or you may want to freelance. In either of these cases, the reality of a career is that it is all hard work and a lot of banging on doors to get work and recognition for who you are as a photographer. This is a good thing because it allows photographers to set goals and achieve accomplishments.
Education Information & Advice
Tell us about your education, including schools attended and degrees or certifications earned. What did you like and dislike? How has your education benefited your career?
My education started out at the Philadelphia College of Art (now known as the University of the Arts), Philadelphia. I liked the school because it gave me a well-rounded knowledge of my photography. It was there that I learned all my technical skills of photography. I studied liberal arts as well. After two years, I transferred to SFAI where I earned a Bachelors of Fine Arts in Photography. The Institute was great because I learned about the process of art. I had my technical skill under my belt, so I was able to focus on the issues and aesthetics of photography. For example, what we think and feel about photographs, how they impact us when we look at them, what makes a photograph interesting or not so interesting etc.
I went to graduate school at San Francisco State University, where I earned a Masters of Interdisciplinary arts. Majoring in interdisciplinary arts was a wonderful way for me to incorporate all the other applied arts I had studied. I tailored them to fit my photographic needs. I also studied anthropology and women studies, which became incorporated into my work as a photographer.
My education has benefited me in ways that I have yet to discover. It is a life long learning process. At present, I learned about being part of a community and how to be part of the great diverse community of different cultural groups we live with in this world and how to share creative ideas.
On a basic level, what are the most important skills required to succeed as a photographer? How can prospective photography students assess their skill and aptitude for the field?
On a basic level the most important things are a vision and a passion for your work. Prospective photography students can assess their skill and aptitude by taking classes, seeing what is out there and then make a decision if this is truly something that he/she is interested in.
What factors should prospective students consider when choosing an photography school or program?
First of all, ask "how much will it cost?" Just because the school costs a lot of money does not mean it is a "good school". There are many community colleges that offer degree programs that are just as "good" and don't cost a lot of money. The photography teachers at community college are also excellent teachers.
Secondly, a prospective student should ask, "why do I want to study there?" One of my reasons for attending the SFAI was because of the "noted" California photographers who taught there such as Pirkle Jones, Jack Fulton, John Collier Jr. and Linda Connor. Some programs are only fine art oriented, others are commercial and some are both.
If someone has the talent already, should they go to school for photography and why?
Yes, if someone already has talent they should still go to art/photography school because there are many things to learn that you don't get if you are not involved in the art school process. As a student, one is required to take art history as well as liberal art studies; these courses all enhance your vision and give you an in-depth knowledge of your field and of the world.
What do you think are the most respected and prestigious schools, departments or programs for photography in the US?
There are many respected and prestigious schools, department and programs for photography in the US. The ones I like are:
- School of the Art Institute of Chicago (Chicago, IL)
- San Francisco Art Institute (San Francisco, CA)
- University of the Arts (Philadelphia, PA)
- California College of Arts (Oakland, CA)
These are only a few! Also, check into the local community colleges in your area; they often offer great classes and have excellent teachers.
Does graduating from a prestigious school make a difference in the field?
Graduation from a prestigious school looks good on your resume but it is important to remember to have an excellent portfolio to present to prospective clients and employers.
Industry Trends
What are some of the recent trends that you see in the field of photography which could help students plan for the future?
The most recent trends are the constant technical advancements of new tools to make photographs. Students should plan for the future by being skilled in all areas of photography, from traditional black & white darkroom to digital. It is to their advantage to know all of this so that they have in-depth knowledge of their field and can make conscious choices about what road(s) they want to travel down with their skills.
How have computer advancements, such as digital photography, affected your profession? How about the popularity of the Internet?
Digital photography has affected my profession on many levels, which I see as multi-faceted. On the one hand, digital is interesting because it is instant, you can download your images and send them across the world in a matter of minutes. But, I find the image quality poor and you need a lot of cutting edge equipment to make "great" photographs - this is costly. Your average user doesn't have the money to spend on thousands of dollars of equipment. So, I would not like to see digital become about the money, (i.e. how much money you need to spend on the best equipment) but retain its integrity regarding the image making process. On the other hand, I don't want to see this replace the traditional form of photography (the darkroom) because I think that would be a disservice to all photographers. The important thing to remember about photography is the image, the picture. All of the tools we have as photographers are unique and important, let us decide what we want to work with instead of letting the consumer-driven world we live in decide for us! The popularity of the internet is wonderful because it gives photographers the opportunity to see what other photographers around the world are doing. It is another tool to interface with.
What are the greatest challenges that artists in your profession face?
One of the greatest challenges for photographers is having enough money to support their creativity. Photography is very expensive. Also, finding jobs in a very competitive field, you always have to be one step ahead all the time so that you are at the right place at the right time to reach your goals personally, and professionally.
Closing Remarks
Is there anything else you can tell us about yourself, your career, or the profession that would be interesting or helpful to others aspiring to enter and succeed in photography?
In closing, I would like to say, "Take responsibility for the world around you, communicate visually, and make photographs which come from your heart!"

ADDISON COUNTY — Addison County voters turned out in droves on Tuesday to change some of the faces of those who represent them in the county courthouse and in Montpelier.
With turnout exceeding 65 percent in most towns, residents elected Cornwall Democrat Eleanor "Misse� Smith as their new probate court judge, and sent three first-time candidates to county seats in Vermont House. One of those three new legislators — New Haven Democrat Christopher Bray — earned his spot in a tight Addison-5 contest against longtime incumbent Rep. Harvey Smith, R-New Haven.
Tuesday's General Election also gave voters an opportunity to soundly defeat a $10.3 million renovation plan for Otter Valley Union High School; endorse a new town garage project for Bridport and a veterans' memorial in Bristol; and pick two assistant judges for the Addison County courthouse.
EAST MIDDLEBURY — The Vermont Land Trust (VLT) confirmed last week that it had sold a conserved East Middlebury farm to a young family who plans to grow beans, grains and organic vegetables at the 90-acre spread located off Route 116 and Airport Road.
The VLT purchased the former Elmer Farm earlier this year for $445,000 with support from the town of Middlebury, the Freeman Foundation and several individual donors. The VLT immediately conserved the farm in order to sell it for less money to a family dedicated to agricultural pursuits.
Through its new "Farm Access Program," the VLT solicited interest from farm families interested in buying the Elmer Farm in order to launch a diversified agriculture business.

MIDDLEBURY — If any athletes have a reason to fear the effects of climate change, skiers certainly do. In a sport that depends entirely on cold weather and snow, rising temperatures and carbon dioxide levels across the globe pose a formidable threat.
That's why Middlebury College is hitting the slopes with its newest initiative to fight global warming. Beginning this ski season, the college's Snow Bowl ski facility, as well as the college's Alpine and Nordic ski teams, will be entirely carbon neutral.
"The long-term effects of climate change will effect us all," Snow Bowl Manager Peter Mackey said, "but those of us who love skiing, and want it to continue at this latitude, have an extra reason to start acting now."
Candidates Q&A 2006
The following six questions, along with a requested word limit, were asked of each local candidate for the Vermont House.
The questions are not repeated in the context of each candidate's response, but are recalled by subject at the beginning of each answer.
Election Day is Nov. 7.
1) HEALTHCARE: Are you satisfied with the state's Catamount Health plan? If not, what additional steps should the state take to expand health care coverage. (Maximum 150 words.)
2) ELECTRICITY: Vermont's contracts with Hydro-Quebec and Vermont Yankee expire during the next decade. What should Vermont do to meet its energy needs? (150 words.)

ADDISON COUNTY — The Vermont Principals' Association on Thursday decided to hold Saturday's Division I football playoff game between Middlebury Union High School and Hartford at the Mount Abraham Union High School field in Bristol because the MUHS field was too badly torn up by play during the wet weather.
The Tigers, who are 9-0 overall, earned D-I's No. 1 seed with a 6-0 league record. They will host No. 4 Hartford (5-4, 3-3) at 1 p.m. The game will be a rematch of this past Friday's match between the two squads, won by the host Tigers, 27-20, on a late touchdown.
No. 2 Rutland (5-4, 5-1 league) will host No. 3 Brattleboro (7-2, 4-2) at 7 p.m. on Friday in the other D-I semifinal.
Editor's note: During the current political season some lawmakers have proposed repealing the current law for funding schools and creating some new funding system with the goal, proponents say, of providing property tax relief. We took a look at the impact of Act 68 in one Addison County school district to provide some data that would be useful in debate over that proposal.
VERGENNES — In 2002, the last year before the passage of Act 68, the Vermont school financing law that raised the state sales tax to provide property tax relief, Addison Northwest Supervisory Union residents sent almost $10.4 million to Montpelier in school tax payments.
MIDDLEBURY — Ana Solis desperately wants you to know who she is.
But she can't tell you.
As one of the estimated 500 migrant workers now toiling on farms throughout Addison County, Ana Solis (not her real name) must be content to work in the shadows of a milk stall, or risk running afoul of loosely-interpreted federal immigration laws that would require her and her family's deportation to Mexico.
"I like this country and the economic opportunity available here," said Solis, who with her husband has worked on the same Addison County farm for the past three years.
"But there are times when we feel like prisoners," she added, as she bounced her American-born, 16-month-old daughter on her knee. "We have the right to work, and nothing more."

USC connection.. Recruited by Pete and Ken Norton Jr.
Crazy strength, it appears.
...I'm liking him...
New Mexico Highlands LB Jordan Campbell took part in the New Mexico Pro Day Friday, March 8, and put up 35 repetitions on the bench press, a 4.58-second 40-yard dash, a 36 1/2-inch vertical, a 9-foot-7 broad jump, an 11.8 60-yard shuttle and a 4.2-second L-cone drill.

First, he has almost zero experience at the college level. He played in one game for USC, zero games for Louisville, and then played 1 year for a division II school that went 1-10 the year before he transferred there. Out of Las Vegas, New Mexico. He claims to have lost his job at USC from injury, but couldn't beat out Mike Morgan or Malcolm Smith. He was also removed from the team by Kiffin for violating a "zero tolerance" policy of his. I know Kiffin is a douche and a bad coach, but that has to be a red flag.
Campbell transferred to Louisville, which I would consider a smallish school. Louisville was in conference USA before moving to the extremely weak Big East in 2005. Basically, they are a team I would expect UW to crush, and that says something. Campbell couldn't break into the lineup there, although there are excuses. Some say that USC sanctions played a part, but I think the story about his not being academically eligible passes the smell test better. Whichever reason it was, that excuse wouldn't have applied in 2012 but Campbell transferred anyway- to a division II school. That tells me that he had little confidence he'd even start in Louisville's LB corps in 2012.
As far as his tape, he looks dominant but remember that he's just 5'10". That's really short for a linebacker, and unlike QB there really isn't such a thing as short linebacker skills. You want your linebackers to be between 5'11" and 6'4". He's worth a look, but not worth a draft pick, IMO.

LONDON, Dec. 8 (UPI) -- British Prime Minister David Cameron says religious institutions will be under no civil obligation to marry same-sex couples if gay marriage becomes legal.
The Conservative leader is expected to release draft legislation next week, The Guardian said.
At a speech in Redditch, a Conservative parliamentary constituency, Cameron promised to protect religious groups that oppose gay marriage.
"Let me be absolutely 100 percent clear, if there is any church or any synagogue or any mosque that doesn't want to have a gay marriage it will not, absolutely must not, be forced to hold it," Cameron said.
Cameron has also said the parliamentary vote will be a "free" one, with Conservatives able to make their own choice. Opponents of gay marriage say at least 120 Conservative MPs plan to do just that.
David Burrowes, a Conservative MP and parliamentary private secretary to the Environment Secretary Owen Paterson, told The Guardian he expects Cameron to face a backlash in his government as well as among backbenchers. Burrowes predicted several members of the Cabinet will either abstain or vote against gay marriage.
Both the Church of England and the Roman Catholic Church have opposed Cameron's plan. Cameron says support for same-sex marriage is a conservative value.

text: Last year Addison Independent columnist Eric Davis mentioned in a piece that one way the state could raise money to fund badly needed road and bridge repairs would be to put a GPS device in every car in Vermont and then charge a tax based on the actual number of miles driven each year. It is such an elegant and fair solution — the people who wear out the roads pay to replace them. What could be more fair?

The DEnver and Rio Grande Railroad began extending its narrow-gauge line through the northern portion of the San Rafael Swell. From Green River the railroad wouls travel through Cottonwood Wash, and Buckhorn Flat to the Castle Valley Junction, located east of Huntington. At the junction the railroad would divide with one brnach going south, and eventually go through Salina Canyon. The other branch would head north through Price Canyon. During construction railroad ties were cut in Tie Fork Canyon, a canyon that splits from the main Huntington Canyon. Once the ties were cut they were floated down the Huntington Creek for 20 miles and then fished out of the creek for delivery to the railroad. The railorad tie buisness only lasted for about year once the railroad was abandoned.
