** Please note - the photos I have loaded that have "before & after" images have been manipulated in Photoshop by me. This is simply me playing around to try to figure out what to expect from surgery, and honestly, to give myself hope. These are not predictions drawn by a surgeon.
I'm going to pretend that this is not a page on the internet, available for everyone to see. I'm going to pretend that this is my personal journal, a place where I can reconcile my thoughts. With that said, where to start? At the beginning, I suppose...
I've been unhappy with my appearance for as long as I can remember, for one reason or another. Teasing in school drew my attention to my freckles, further teasing drew my attention to ears that stuck out, and when I was a little older a boyfriend's mother drew my attention to my crooked nose. I'd always thought it was too big for my face and didn't like it from the side, but I'd never actually noticed it was crooked. From then on, like all the other little things I learned to hate about myself, I couldn't un-notice it. Now, it seems crazy to think that there was ever a time that I didn't notice how crooked my nose is.
As I got to my mid 20s, I was learning to accept certain things about my body. I didn't mind my freckles anymore, couldn't care less about my ears - they didn't really stick out much anyway. I learned to accept my tiny boobs - I think they're even smaller than A cups - and decided that if Kate Moss and Keira Knightly can rock their teeny boobs then so can I! Plus it's easier to find well-fitting clothes, and they won't go all droopy... not for a while, anyway. I didn't even mind my crooked teeth anymore (despite orthodontics in my teen years, one front tooth still overlaps the other).
I had finally gotten to a place where I was relatively happy with the person I saw in the mirror... so long as I was wearing make-up and had my hair done. But there was a problem. Photos. The person in photos never looked like the person in the mirror. She looked awkward at best, and, at worst - ugly, mangled... ridiculous. There was only one angle of my face that I could show in photos and not look terrible - the left side of my face. My nose looked big from this angle but at least it sort of looked straight, and my jaw line looked straight too. Somehow, my teeth looked better from this angle too.
My self-consciousness about my face was constant. no matter where I was, no matter the situation - in the back of my mind I was constantly conscious of my face. Conscious of the fact that everyone to the front or right of me would be looking and wondering why I looked so ugly. Wondering if maybe I'd been in an accident. Maybe they were wondering if I was aware I looked like that. Or maybe, worst of all, they just always knew that I was a reasonably nice, kind of funny, ugly girl. So when they saw me from any angle that wasn't the only one that I'd show to a camera, they weren't surprised. That was just how I looked. This thought horrified me. Still does.
Now, I'm no model, nor do I aspire to be one. I don't want to be on magazines, or be oo'd and aa'd at at parties. I don't want to be the prettiest girl in the room. All I want is to not be the ugliest girl in the room. I want to not be constantly thinking about how I look. I want to laugh and not immediately have an image in my head of a photo I once saw of myself laughing, looking basically, like a mentally disabled person. I want to have confidence when I smile. I want to not cry at the mirror. I want to enjoy having my photo taken, especially seeing as I'm a photographer but have never had a photo shoot myself. I want to go on holidays and take stupid touristy photos, without turning my head to the same side in every single photo, and still end up looking disfigured half the time. I want to, one day, meet a wonderful man and marry him, and look beautiful in my wedding photos, and spend the day focusing on him and not on how I look. I want to not settle for less, as I have in the past, because I believed I deserved less.
So I emailed a surgeon in Perth...
I'm originally from Perth, Australia, but nearly 2 years ago I moved to Phnom Penh, Cambodia. I've been having the time of my life here, doing fulfilling work and being inspired daily by amazing people. But I'm still held back, every day, every moment, by my overwhelming consciousness of how I look. It seems like such a ridiculous waste of energy. It's a terrible waste of precious time, like I'm bound at my wrists and ankles, waiting for my real life to start. I'm surrounded by people, dear friends, who've overcome incredible challenges and injustices in their lives. Daily I see people struggling with the basic necessities of life, and suffering in circumstances that I cannot fathom. I see people filled with faith, a faith that overcomes demons and renews lives. None of it makes me feel better about my face. I feel the same way about my face, and worse about my self as a person for feeling the same way about my face in spite of being showed, vividly, how blessed I am.
Here's the thing: a person's hurt is their own. Perspective is a wonderful thing and I've gained a lot of it during my time in Cambodia. Perspective tells me that my ugly face is a ridiculous and irrelevant thing in the grand scheme of the world. But it's still the same to me, in my little world.
... The surgeon returned my email. Here is a quote from the email:
"This patient has hemifacial microsomia (Facioauricularovertebral spectrum). Nothing can be done to correct her facial asymmetry unless she wants lengthy and multiple procedures to move around her teeth and then her upper and lower jaws. It is possible to camouflage things with a combination of chin and jaw implants and by moving her chin (geniosplasty). The nose and cheeks are impossible to completely correct due to underlying soft tissue deficiency."
Not the happiest email I've received. Of course my next step was to jump on google and search for photos of hemifacial microsomia. What I found was a lot of photos, particularly of young children, with clear examples of the condition. Most of them looked much more severe than me, but it was immediately obvious that I shared the same condition. I could not believe that I hadn't realised it earlier. I was 27 years old and I'd never realised that the whole right side of my face was smaller than the left, that my mouth was twisted to one side of my face, that my jaw line was completely crooked and twisted, and that my middle teeth were nowhere near the middle of my face. I remembered a moment in art class at high school when I was sitting at a table with some girls and we were all light-heartedly teasing each other, and then one of them said to me "at least I don't have a mangled face". Looking at the photos the surgeon had me take, and reading his email response, I finally understood why she had said that.
So, if you've read this far - there it is. The surgeon said it would not be possible to completely correct my condition, but I was never aiming for perfect. My remaining option was to attempt to camouflage the condition. So that's what I want to do now.
I've researched plastic surgeries for years, primarily rhinoplasties. In the past 6 months I've extensively researched hemifacial microsomia and corrective surgeries. There are options, but they are extremely expensive and usually performed over many years as a child grows. As far as camouflaging this particular condition goes, I'm a little in the dark. I haven't been able to find much information and very few examples of plastic surgeries. So, this is one of the reasons why I decided to share my story here. I can't be the only one in this position - hemifacial microsomia is the second most common birth defect after Down syndrome. If you're in the same position as me, I'd love to hear from you.
Here my surgery plan:
* Yanhee hospital in Bangkok, Thailand.
Australian hospitals are way out of my price league - I currently receive a volunteers allowance and no salary, and will be saving up for surgery through photographic work... assuming I find enough of it here.
* I have made contact with the staff at Yanhee and I am waiting for feedback from surgeons, and final price estimates. So far, the prices I'm looking at are (based on their website and online consultations with staff):
*Rhinoplasty - $1500USD (I don't know yet if this includes Septoplasty)
*Mandibular Implants (Jaw) - $1700USD
*Neck Liposuction - $1300USD
*Allowance for extra procedures recommended - $1000USD
*Skin treatments for acne scarring & skin tag (associated with hemifacial microsomia) removal - $500USD
In addition, I've allowed $1000USD for flights and accommodation, giving me a total budget of $7000USD. It seems completely out of reach, but all I need to do right now is start. I am aiming for a surgery date in October 2014, which gives me 7 months to save... $1000 a month. That's a huge task. I better find those photography clients quickly!
I'll update this page when I hear back from the surgeons at Yanhee, hopefully with good news.
Thank you for letting me process my thoughts on here, and thank you for reading this far. I hope to show you the real "after" photos in 8 months time, and I'll be thrilled is they look even half as good as my lame Photoshop predictions!
Hemifacial Microsomia - Camoflauge Surgeries (Septoplasty/Rhinoplasty, Mandibular Implants) - Bangkok, Thailand
Title... hmm.. Photos? :)
I may have used my photography skills for evil - I have Photoshopped these images to give my surgeon (and myself) an idea of how I could look after surgery. I have no idea how realistic I'm being and I know I could be giving myself false hope, but the way I see it, it's just hope.
And I cannot believe that I'm uploading terrible photos of myself to the internet for all to see, sans make-up (except for eyebrows!) and all. Forgive me, future self.

Quick update - hopsital changed & surgeon chosen!
Just a quick update - I've decided against Yanhee hospital. I still think it's a great hospital, but I feel that the jaw/chin correction is too complicated and I would like to go to a specialist. Bumrungrad hospital (also Thailand) had always been my preferred choice, however it was just too expensive for me. After further research and reading the profiles of their doctors, I found Dr Nond Rojvachiranonda. He specialises in craniofacial surgery and has been a bit of a pioneer in surgical techniques in Thailand. I have read extensively about his work and have a lot of confidence in his abilities. (and yes, I have seen the webpage set up by a patient of his claiming that he was negligent. I'm not naive but I think it's obvious to anyone that this patient is after money. One big tell-tale sign - they claim negligence but don't give photos of the so called "botched surgery" and don't describe it the issues. Plus, they do kind of come off as a bit of a raving lunatic! I've done a lot of research on this doctor and I'm not worried at all - at least no more worried than if I was having surgery with a top Australian surgeon!)
So, anyway! I found that Dr Nond operates at Bumrungrad (super exclusive and out of my price range) but he also operates at St Louis hospital. A "middle class" hospital that has the same surgical standards but just doesn't have the 5-star hotel service - I live in Cambodia so this is fine by me! ;) The rates at St Louis hospital are much lower, so this means I can have a highly specialised surgeon for Yanhee hospital prices. Good stuff! I'm going to Thailand in July to meet with Dr Nond for a face-to-face consultation so that he can properly assess me (rather than just looking at photos) and I will go from there.
I'm getting really excited, and working very hard to save money for this. After all these years - it feels like this is finally going to happen. I can be in a photo without cringing! Speaking of photos, I took some selfies last night and I like them so I'm sharing them to make up for the make-up-less photos I posted last time ;) x

More photoshop fun
Well, I don't have an update to post as I'm in the waiting & saving $$ part of this journey at the moment! To remind myself why I'm working so hard and living off bread and instant noodles I did some more playing around with Photoshop. So here comes another edited 'before & after'... again I'm so embarrassed to post the 'before', but I hope by Christmas I'll be posting the real 'after'! x

Hello. I read your posts with interest. Amazing how similar our stories are, right down to being photographers who have used our photo editing skills to "fix" ourselves. I too feel constantly ugly, and have had various people "helpfully" point out my flaws. I also had an unkind and dismissive review by a plastic surgeon in South Africa to whom I'd sent my most painfully honest photos - up close and personal. Well, at least it wasn't face to face. Anyway, I've learned a couple of new terms from you and a couple of your commenters for asymmetrical faces, and now I need to look them up to see if either explains my own face. By the way, you have big, beautiful eyes, and that means so much in terms of attractiveness to others. I have small eyes, and there is nothing that can be done surgically for that. So, you're lucky that way. You mentioned that you would be seeing a surgeon in July, and it's September now, so I'm hoping that your silence here is because you've been too busy to update, and not that you were disappointed by his assessment. I would love to hear how it went, and if he could offer anything useful to you. I DO think you're prettier than you think. And if it's any consolation, I used to date a guy with extreme asymmetry in his face, as well as spine. But he had big eyes, and full lips, and women were very attracted to him. And I, with my asymmetry, while no beauty, managed to get some really great, and even hot boyfriends, one of whom I married. So, despite the rude remarks of some people, and studies that show a majority of people find symmetry most attractive, that doesn't mean that everyone finds asymmetry to be ugly.

Hi Sreysa'art, how was your meeting with Dr. Nond?
- Reply
Thank you for posting this post! I am almost 40 and if you think you were late in seeing your face differently I did not until I was 35! I always knew I had facial asymmetry but because it is not as pronounced in the mirror AND I had perfected the compensating photograph, I was convinced it was not as bad as it is! The fact is, in comparison, my face is WAY more asymmetrical than yours, I can honestly say that I wish my case was as subtle as yours. I am also concerned that the surgeon told you that their was little to be done, as I am going to see a doctor on Monday. So I am interested in how things work for you, I think you should know that you are quite attractive and I know from experience that may not make you feel better but I think it is important to tell you the truth from my perspective. Good luck with your surgery, please keep us posted, I am super curious about the experience, final cost and results. Take good care! Again thanks for sharing!

Hi I'm 32 and also have hermifacial microsomnia that is quite noticeable I have had some mild corrective surgery with poor results. I don't think at the time myself or my parents were properly informed on the condition and the procedures out there. I'm still a little lost to tell u the truth can you help

Hi there, I just wanted to comment and say I have the same condition- somewhat mild, but incredibly frustrating and all I see. Thank you for sharing your story and journey!

Remember to look after yourself, bread and noodles don't sound very nutritious! You need to be healthy to have your surgery! Add some fruit, nuts and protein to your diet. You do sound motivated though, and you look gorgeous in before & after pics. Have you showed the after pics to your surgeon? They can be helpful to the surgeon so they know what you would like to achieve. Maybe even done with fewer procedures than you think. Thanks for the update! :-)

Hello! I am an 18 year old male, with a very similar issue with my lower jaw. First off, I would like to make things clear... you are very pretty, and don't need a rhinoplasty! You have many attractive facial features (your eyes
- Reply
Sorry, my full message wasn't posted... continued.... (your eyes are !WOW!) The doctor agreed with your diagnosis of "hemifacial microsomia", but I am not entirely sure that is correct. Instead I believe you may have "condylar hyperplasia". I'm no doctor, and could very well be wrong, but I thought it may be something to consider. Were you a forceps delivery as a baby? I know that sometimes that can cause fractures in the jaw and cause asymmetric growth and development. I am currently also searching for surgeons in the United States. Please keep me updated! Good luck, and God Bless :]

Hi Icon, thank you for writing and for your kind words! I'm not sure I agree about not needing rhinoplasty - I want that more than jaw surgery! I don't mind the size or even shape of my nose, I just want it to be straight, and it's very crooked now (technically I'll be having septoplasty). The diagnosis of hemifacial microsomia was only made by photos, not by a face to face consultation or x-ray so you're right - it's not confirmed. The doctor that I have found in Thailand is a specialist in craniofacial surgery and I have a lot of confidence in his ability to improve my condition. As said in my original post, I'm not looking for perfection, just improvement. The surgeon wants to meet with me face to face (obviously!) to make his full diagnosis so I'll be going to see him in Thailand in July (I live in Cambodia so it's not far to go!). He is confident that he can improve my nose significantly but he's unsure of how to operate on my jaw/chin until he sees me and can confirm exactly what abnormalities there are. The surgeon is Thai trained but has done fellowships in the US and Aus and is a leader in craniofacial surgery, so I'm very confident. I've done heaps of research!! Re. forceps, I was *kind of* - by that I mean that I was born by caesarian section with the aid of forceps (I was 6 weeks premature, which was a big deal in the 80's!). Thank you again, and good luck with your journey also.

I agree. Hemifacial microsomia typically also includes an underdeveloped ear, neck, etc. I have a similar condition as this girl only it's the condylar hypoplasia condition. Seems like a round of braces and double jaw surgery is what is needed in my case.

You, my dear, are a wonderful writer and much prettier than you think. That said, I totally get being so consumed by your perceived "ugly" looks and then feeling guilty for thinking about it so much. I hope you're able to grab this dream and make it a reality. Be sure to look for a board certified very, very experienced surgeon in rhinoplasty (and the other procedures). That surgeon's email sounded very cold and unkind. I'm sorry you were on the receiving end of that. Please keep us posted on your journey. I'll be checking this space.

Hi Angiemcc, thank you for your kind words. I've uploaded more photos now - you may take them back ;) You're absolutely right about the importance of finding a good surgeon. It's a main concern of having my surgery outside of Australia and I'll be doing my research. I really don't want to end up being another "surgery abroad horror story"! You're right, the email from the Australian surgeon was very difficult to read, and then I thought about it and realised that he didn't have a responsibility to apologise to me seeing as he didn't create me this way. Perhaps he thought I already knew about my condition. I did not, though. I really hope I'll be updating you soon on progress with my consultation - still waiting to hear back from the surgeons at Yanhee. Have a terrible feeling that I might be told they can't operate. Thank you

Hi, I'm from Perth too :-) I want to firstly commend you on the volunteer work you are doing in Cambodia! What a kind soul you have to do this. I agree with the other two posters, you are FAR from ugly! You are very attractive, and I think you have a really sweet and kind looking face. I wish you good luck on your journey, and I hope you can update us!

Hi fellow Perthite :) Thank you for the kind words. Today I changed my profile name to "Sreysa'art" which means beautiful girl in Khmer (Cambodian). I wanted to remind myself that I still have beauty despite the things I want to fix. Thank you, and I will be updating as I progress :) x

Napping isn't just for couch potatoes. Maki explains why giving in to a nap everyday can boost the body, freshen the mind and make you stronger.
That's a great article - I particularly enjoyed the discussion of the caffeine nap - what a great idea! Guarantees you'll actually wake UP!
I actually do this with the snooze button in the morning - wake up, knock back caffeine, hit snooze ... by the time it goes off, I'm a LOT less likely to toss the contraption across the room.
I'm a big fan of the deluxe nap, like to do it whenever I can fit it in!
Good article.
What a refreshing article!
I used to sleep in the company closet for an hour before they banned the practice :(
absolutely! I tend to have more free time during the wknds.I'll have an hour napQuote:

I grab a nap whenever I can ... which will be in about 4 hours. Great info, Maki! :D
I'm all about the nap and think sleeping in general isn't given enough focus in training. I have a full cycle of a little over an hour every afternoon. A lot easier here in Spain, I don't know how I'll manage when I go back to 8 hour solid days in the states! It's great to see someone putting a second sleep in positive light when napping can get you so easily pinned as lazy.
Great article Maki! I'll be incorporating the 90 minute rule for now on.
Im a school student, but Im grabbing naps in my lunch hour...
great idea.
Awesome article. I have trained my body for a 20 minute nap in the afternoon. The best thing ever! However, a 1 hour or longer naps on the couch usually leave me completely drained for the rest of the day. I guess I can account that to the Sleep Inertia.
BTW has anyone else experienced an interesting feeling in the muscles at the end of the short nap - it feels like the muscles are moving - not contracting though but relaxing. and not actual muscles but feels like something inside the muscle - where you can't conciousely control it. I love that feeling but I don't know what it is though.
I'm the weekend napper. Sometimes up to 3 naps on either or both saturday or sunday! and usually 1-3 times during the week.
:whazzup: i'm the nap god
mmmm, I wanna go back to Lebanon for another holiday, when I was there in July, Id wake up, lift, tan, eat, nap and go party at night....
Quite a bad cycle really. But the afternoon siesta was the funnest bit.
In Syria... most of the time your so god damn full its impossible to stay awake.
Excellent article.....
Yeh, I was napping alot 6 months ago and felt awesome.... Not as much in the last few months and I seem to be slowing down a bit....
I think you've hit the nail on the head for me... I need to nappy more...
peace out...
That is helpful thanks, my sleeping pattern is ridiculous at the minute!

Female AEs Sue Clear Channel Jacksonville Charging Age and Gender Bias. The suit against Clear Channel filed in United States District Court Middle District of Florida Jacksonville Division alleges that three account executives – Angela Myhand, Monique Blue and Jessica Downs – had accounts taken from them by management and given to Caucasian and/or male sales staffers without explanation, without hearing of complaints by clients and without receiving any discipline by management for mishandling the accounts. The plaintiffs also alleged they were given no reason for the actions. After contacting the EEOE, they allege listening devices were installed on their offices phones but not on telephones in other sales staffers' offices. The three are charging management violated Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, allege retaliation for involvement in a protected activity plus other allegations and are seeking unspecific damages plus attorneys' fees.
Envision Radio Networks Adds Meteorologist John Wetherbee to 'America Weekend' Program.

'New Jersey 101.5' Honored with Two Awards at NJBA Convention. Townsquare Media's WKXW, Trenton "New Jersey 101.5" was honored at this week's New Jersey Broadcasters Association convention with "Best of" awards in two categories: 1) "Best Public Affairs" Award for the station's monthly show "Ask the Governor." The award was presented to Eric Scott (left) and his team of Christopher Knight, Chris Swendeman and Matthew White; and 2) "Best Promotions" Award for the "Big Joe Jersey Talent Show." The award was presented to Ray Handel (right) and his team of Big Joe Henry and Dan Specht.
More Station Honors from State Broadcasters Associations. This is the time of the year when state broadcasters associations hold their annual awards ceremonies and there are two more to report: In Illinois, Tribune Company's WGN, Chicago took top honors at the 2013 Illinois Broadcasters Association Silver Dome Awards, held June 19 in Peoria. For the sixth year in a row, the IBA recognized WGN Radio as the Chicago Market Station of the Year at its annual best-in-state awards ceremony. In addition to being named Chicago Market Station of the Year, WGN Radio also earned first place honors in five categories: major market personality for Mike McConnell, best newscast for Judy Pielach, best station website for wgnradio.com, best play-by-play team for Chicago Cubs broadcasters Pat Hughes and Keith Moreland, and best humorous commercial for "Chicago Food and Wine," produced by Jason Skaggs. WGN president and general manager Jimmy de Castro says, "It is a great honor to receive the award for Chicago Market Station of the Year by the Illinois Broadcasters Association. To be recognized by our industry peers is a reflection of the tremendous talent and dedication from our staff to continue to provide the quality of programming our community expects from WGN Radio."
In Georgia, Beasley Broadcast Group's WGAC-AM/FM, Augusta, for the 12th consecutive year, was named the Georgia Association of Broadcasters "Radio Station of the Year." New this year is the fact that WGAC was honored in the large-market category, which includes Atlanta. For the past eleven years, WGAC was awarded Radio Station of the Year in the medium-market category. Pictured here are (l-r) Beasley Augusta VP/market manager Kent Dunn, news director Mary Liz Nolan, and WGAC program director Harley Drew with the "Gabby" Award. Dunn comments on the victory, "I am extremely proud of the WGAC-AM/FM staff for bringing home our 12th consecutive Gabby for 'Radio Station of the Year.' This year is even more special due to the added competition of being placed in the division that includes stations in Atlanta."
The Sale Doesn't End When the Client Signs the Contract. According to H&H Communications president, TALKERS columnist and highly regarded industry sales maven Al Herskovitz, the subject of "making commercials work effectively so the client is more likely to renew" was one of the buzzes of conversation in the halls at the recent Talkers New York 2013. In a column posted today (6/21) Herskovitz writes about the deadly consequences of hosts that rush through live reads, spots that are overloaded with too many words, six-minute spot sets of boring ads that seem interminable to the listener and sales reps who don't pay attention to the process after the deal is signed. He does, however, offer praise to those hosts who ARE doing a good job serving the advertisers and names names. To read Herskovitz's entire column, click here.
TOM RAY: Listening to Your Syndicated Show on an Affiliate is Different than Listening in the Studio. That's a good piece of advice from one of the industry's most respected engineering consultants. In a new column posted today (6/21) by TALKERS technical editor and columnist Tom Ray, he points out that timing in the real world of an actual on-the-air radio station — in terms of commercial breaks and liners – can be a different thing than running the show in the studio or looking at its elements on paper. He says by listening to the show on an affiliate you will most likely learn something that will help you avoid all-too-common mistakes in timing that create sloppy and embarrassing audio pileups and make the show better for both you as a syndicator and the affiliate carrying your program.

WOOD, Grand Rapids Morning Host Gary Allen Hosts Last Show Today; Retires After 32 Years at Station.

Rhode Island Supreme Court Clears WPRO, Providence Talk Host Dan Yorke of Slander Charge. The state Supreme Court in Rhode Island upheld a lower court ruling that dismissed a slander charge against WPRO, Providence midday talk host Dan Yorke leveled by local restaurateur Robert Burke. The case also involved a libel charge against the Providence Journal and writer Katherine Gregg. Here's the basic story: Gregg wrote a piece in the Journal about a St. Patrick's Day roast of local dignitaries and politicians that was held at Burke's restaurant. The press was invited but was told – unlike in previous years – that all jokes would be "off the record." On his radio show, Dan Yorke read Gregg's article about the event, obviously critical of the "off the record" request, and teed off on Burke in what the court called "an acrimonious and childish on-air rant." Yorke himself referred to his rant as "a bit of a bender." Regardless, ultimately the court wrote that, "the plaintiffs failed to allege any intentional acts by Yorke or Citadel that were aimed at interfering with a potential client relationship. The plaintiffs have pointed to nothing to suggest that the effect of Yorke's comments – if any – was more than ancillary or incidental. Because the plaintiffs did not allege any intentionally disruptive conduct by Yorke or Citadel, the count was correctly dismissed by the motion justice."

Norm Pattiz' Courtside Entertainment Names Bob Moore President. Forty-year broadcast management pro Bob Moore rejoins Westwood One founder Norm Pattiz, this time as president of Pattiz' Courtside Entertainment. Moore most recently was market manager of Cumulus Media's Los Angeles stations. Prior to that he managed the CBS Radio Los Angeles cluster. Pattiz says he and Moore go back a long way in the business. "Bob Moore is a one of a kind guy. I've known him since the 70s when he followed me as the sales manager of KCOP-TV in Los Angeles. I hired him at Westwood One because I thought anybody who could sell KCOP in the 70s could sell anything. He ran my station group in the 90s when we launched Pirate Radio in Los Angeles and bought WNEW and WYNY-FM in New York. I have no doubt that Bob will make a huge contribution to Courtside, the radio business and platforms yet to be discovered. They are all going to need programming. Bob will be joining Katie Walsh and me as our executive team." On his new position with Courtside, Moore states, "I am extremely excited to be working with Norm Pattiz again. Norm has been a mentor of mine for many years. Working together at Courtside is a great opportunity to use my broadcast experience at stations and working with advertisers in a way that I find extremely appealing."

Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network) - Rodney Williams scored a game-high 21 points as Minnesota took down La Salle, 70-61, in the first round of the National Invitation Tournament at Tom Gola Arena.
Also scoring in double figures for sixth-seeded Golden Gophers (20-14) were Austin Hollins and Andre Hollins with 16 and 13 points, respectively.
The third-seeded Explorers (21-13) were paced by Earl Pettis who dropped in 19 points, while Ramon Galloway accounted for 13 and Jerrell Wright 12 points and seven boards in the setback.
Both teams shot better than 53 percent from the field in the first half and even though Minnesota missed all five chances beyond the arc in the period, the Gophers were the ones with the 40-37 advantage at the break.
In the second half the visitors again had their troubles on the perimeter (1- of-6), but made up for it with 50.0 percent accuracy from the floor overall to capture the nine-point win.
La Salle, which finished the night shooting 47.1 percent from the field, lost the battle of the boards, 32-23, and was charged with 18 turnovers.
The victory, the 100th for head coach Tubby Smith with the Golden Gophers, sends the program to the next round to face Miami-Florida.

Self tanner running down Christina Aguilera's legsSo, Christina Aguilera killed it at Etta James' funeral with her rendition of "At Last." It was respectful, heartfelt, and totally classy. Something that wasn't totally classy about the pop star's performance, though, was the dark brown, oily substance running down her legs -- which, FYI, was only self-tanner.
Whether it was due to excessive sweating because of nerves, excessive sweating because of the unseasonably hot weather in California, or plain old cheap, crappy self-tanner, this never should have happened. Not to Christina. Not to anyone.
I'm all about self-tanner. Seriously, I love it. Yeah, it's a pain in the butt to apply, but when done right, it's a fantastic alternative to the real, cancer-causing, wrinkle-inducing deal. But "done right" is the imperative phrase here, people. Self-tanning lotions, creams, sprays, and towels can be your best friend when you're in need of some color -- or your orange arch-nemesis.
First thing's first when applying self-tanner: Exfoliation. I'm sure you've heard this before -- and I'm sure you've ignored this crucial step, as it's sort of annoying -- but, trust me, it's essential. Exfoliation is the one thing that can give you a gorgeous, even-toned, long-lasting tan job. Just buy a bottle of cheapo St. Ives and go for it in the shower. Your legs will thank you.
Next, don't do the self-tanning thing if you've got a party or event that day. Do it a day or two before. (The two-day rule especially applies if you're going for a professional spray tan.) You don't want to just throw on a coat of whatever and head out the door -- most likely, it will rub off onto your clothes. Or, as in Christina's rare (weird) case, drip down your leg.
I feel bad for Christina. Not only did this embarrassing mishap occur while she was paying tribute to one of her idols, she's now the subject of many an Internet joke. But it was totally avoidable. This didn't have to happen to her. She should have just applied the stuff two days before her performance. And, of course, exfoliated.
Have you ever had an embarrassing self-tanning blunder? Do you self-tan at all?
Image via Splash
^ Yeah, that was not respectful. Wearing the color black doesn't give you a pass.
What momtolittleg said was my thoughts exactly!!! She's turned into a train wreck and I would like for her to straighten up before her child gets old enough to notice his nasty mother!
I like her and she has an excellent voice. Why on earth would she wear something (her top) so low to a damn funeral??
She's classless. You can't make a silk purse out of a sows ear.

Geneva show – Laguna look let it down
Renault is displaying its latest electric cars at Geneva while revealing why its Laguna executive car failed in the market.
According to the French manufacturer's marketing director Stephen Norman, the Laguna was dropped with several other models late last year because it was a poor design, but a better one will return.
"It was a good car in the wrong clothes," Norman tells Headline Auto, adding; "There was nothing wrong with its quality or ride and handling."
Norman insists, however, that Renault is definitely not pulling out of the executive market, because; "we cannot leave the Volkswagen Passat to have the market to itself in the upper medium segment.
"But we have to get the next Laguna right in terms of design because buyers in the upper medium segment expect their car to say something about their status.
I think Citroën has got it right with the C5 and certainly the DS5 – we will not come out with a copy, though."
The economic climate is blamed for the dropping of the iconic Renault Espace people carrier
"We had to put two projects on hold, one of them you know about, the new Espace, and the other which you don't know about, but it would have been a huge asset for us," Norman says.
The new Espace will eventually take to the road based on a common Renault Nissan platform and Norman said it may have some input from Daimler through a technology tie up with the German carmaker.
He adds that the next Laguna could be joined by another model above it in the E-segment.
Norman admits that Renault has been quiet for some time, largely because of too much activity previously. "Around 2007 and 2008 we launched Twingo, Laguna and Megane within 18 months of each other and that created problems for us because they were too close together.
"It meant that we had no new product to follow for a while and all the facelifts came at the same time. It was important to get the model development out of synch."
Renault's new electric vehicles, Twizy and Zoe (pictured), will launch together this year; "but there is some space between them and others."

Can Discount Prices Save Carnival Cruise Lines?
Stephanie is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Just a few years ago, the buying public would have been wowed by the price. A week on one of the world's most popular cruise ships for only $38 a night! Better yet, the cruise takes passengers to the Caribbean.
Carnival (NYSE: CCL) posted the offer on its website recently--four days in the Caribbean for only $149 per person--which breaks down to $37.25 a night. For a cruise line that continues to be plagued by problems, it's surprising that the stock has dropped only slightly so far in 2013.
The problems for Carnival began in early 2012, when its Costa Concordia sunk near the Italian coast. Thirty-two passengers died in that accident, resulting in an immediate 14% drop in the stock. Still, Carnival made a $1.5 billion profit in 2012, which was down only slightly from $1.9 billion in 2011.
For Carnival, 2013 has begun with another public relations nightmare when one of its ships was stranded for several days, leaving passengers without access to toilets and with limited access to food.
The company's first-quarter earnings were inline with year-ago results, thanks in part to reduced fuel costs and consumption. But Carnival announced that bookings for the remainder of 2013 are down and began preparing shareholders for a potential loss in the second quarter.
Then came more problems. The company, which denies skimping on maintenance, had three cruise ship breakdowns in one week in early March. In early April, the Carnival Fascination, which holds more than 2,000 passengers, failed its health food inspection. None of these events were part of the cruise line's caution to investors that Q2 earnings would decline due to a company-wide upgrade of its ships to help safeguard against future failures.
Cruise industry suffers
Carnival isn't the only victim of its own problems. Industry-wide, cruise lines are experiencing the after effects of Carnival's bad press. Shares of Royal Caribbean (NYSE: RCL), Carnival's top competitor, experienced a slight drop after the Carnival mishap, followed by another drop when more than 100 passengers fell ill during a March trip on the company's "Vision of the Seas" ship.
Norwegian Cruise Line's (NASDAQ: NCLH) stock has held its own, however, avoiding bad press and suffering only a slight drop. Norwegian shares continue to remain high, but many analysts are warning against second-quarter fallout from Carnival's problems.
Recent Harris Polls show customer confidence in cruise lines has dropped, with both Norwegian and Royal Caribbean facing a lower number of customers who intend to purchase a cruise in the near future. But none of this spells gloom and doom for either of these other two cruise lines.
Royal Caribbean and Norwegian have, after all, done nothing wrong. Royal Caribbean is putting millions of dollars into launching an ad campaign for its new ship, Quantum of the Seas, calling on big-name celebs like Kristen Chenoweth. Trading is up slightly for the cruise line, with analysts hopeful the star-studded ad campaigns will pay off.
Meanwhile, Norwegian has only a 7.6% market share, but with the recent release of new ships, the company is booking lots of guests. While the value of Norwegian stock has dropped since the Carnival incident, the drop was a negligible one--certainly not enough for investors to become alarmed.
Hoping specials will increase bookings, Royal Caribbean recently announced a reduction in fares for children by 50% planned for the last quarter of the year. Norwegian recently announced children under 17 years of age will cruise for free as long as they stay in the same cabin as two parents who pay full fare.
Still, while customers tend to forget bad press fairly quickly, spring and summer may be too soon. Investors may be wise to stay away from the cruise industry until Carnival has had at least one solid year of mishap-free cruises. More cautious travelers will likely still feel shaky about stepping onto a ship until confidence rises, especially on a ship with that trademark red, white, and blue whale's tail jutting out of the top.

"Vakt" minimalist digital watch gives you just enough.September 11th, 2013
Design submitted by Igor from Serbia.

Grab your purple and green beads and get ready for Mardi Gras! We're just a few days away from Fat Tuesday so you have time to plan your party -- which could happen on the weekend if you want!
And what's Fat Tuesday all about? Why, ugly little critters from the sea, that's what: Crawfish and shrimp! Check out our tips and recipes for a fabulous Fat Tuesday party.
Well first of all, there's gumbo. GUMBO! They say it's not gumbo if there's no okra, but that's up to you. I do know that it's not slimy if you can avoid overcooking the veggie, so if you're curious, add the okra at the very last minute and let it cook for just about five minutes or so.
Nana's Chicken Seafood Gumbo from the Neelys
Gumbo City -- a whole website full of gumbo recipes!
One of the great gumbo legends, Two Sisters Restaurant in New Orleans, serves their gumbo with potato salad. People dump the salad right there into the middle of the gumbo and eat their way in!
And if you're really feelin' the okra, try this fried cornmeal okra.
What's for dessert? King Cake is traditional. Or you could make snowballs!
Check out the crawfish boil New Orleans celeb chef John Besh made the other night on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon, and just dump a whole lotta crawfish with potatoes, corn, sausage, garlic, and a bunch of spices and cook the whole mess. Here's the recipe.
What do you drink with your crawfish boil? Lemonade with whiskey of course! It's a summer drink, but Mardi Gras is all about up-ending the social order, so go for it.
Other Mardi Gras cocktails you could make:
Bandy milk punch (another John Besh recipe)
Now you're ready for Fat Tuesday -- or Fat Saturday, as the case may be!
Are you celebrating Mardi Gras this year? What are you making?
Image via Late Night With Jimmy Fallon/Hulu
Nice thanks!
Great recipes. I love okra, but hubby gags on it unless it's fried.
Great recipes! Thank you! We didn't do anything for Mardi Gras this year. Maybe next year. :)
nope, were not celebrating. I really couldnt eat anything mentioned on here. The only thing that sounds good to me is a Daquiri LOL
I know this is off topic, but my ss has a crawfish boil every summer. The kids play with them before they get boiled. I pass, and stick to shrimp. They are the most awful , scary looking creatures you can imagine. I always wonder how anyone ever looked at one and thought "man, that would be good to eat"
Oh, and thanks for the sites, I just bookmarked a couple.
We don't celebrate Mardi Gras but I wouldn't mind going to New Orleans just to try some of their yummy food.
we dont celebrate but that looks yummy

Siegfried Sassoon - Diary Extracts
June 19 1917
I wish I could believe that Ancient War History justifies the indefinite prolongation of this war. The Jingos define it as 'an enormous quarrel between incompatible spirits and destinies, in which one or the other must succumb'. But the men who write these manifestos do not truly know what useless suffering the war inflicts...And the Army is dumb. The Army goes on with its bitter tasks. The ruling classes do all the talking. And their words convince no one but the crowds who are their dupes. The soldiers who return home seem stunned by the things they have endured...If only they would speak out and throw their medals in the faces of their masters; and ask their women why it thrills them to know that they, the dauntless warriors, have shed the blood of Germans.
© George Sassoon
30 July 1917 (Craiglockhart)
...My fellow patients are 160 more or less dotty officers. A great many of them are degenerate looking. A few are genuine cases of shell shock etc...My doctor is a sensisble man who doesn't say anything silly. His name is Rivers, a notable Cambridge psychologist.

County approves two-lane concept for Fort Hamer
Date: May 27, 2009
by: Pam McTeer | News Editor
MANATEE COUNTY — Manatee County officials have ruled out the possibility of a six-lane privately owned toll bridge across the Manatee River.
At a public hearing May 19, Manatee commissioners instead voted 6-1 to construct a county-funded two-lane bridge over the river between Fort Hamer and Upper Manatee River roads.
Public Works Director Ron Schulhofer estimated the project could be done for about $28.4 million. His department has three months to develop criteria for the bridge and have the proposal ready to go through the public bidding process for design and construction.
"I think this is something that needed to be done and this sort of brought everything to a head," Commissioner Donna Hayes said.
Until last week, the county had been considering a proposal by a group of developers called the Fort Hamer Bridge Associates, who had offered to build a six-lane privately owned toll bridge over the river.
Led by developers Pat Neal, Carlos Beruff and Michael Jacobson, the development group last fall offered to construct a toll bridge as a way to move the project forward after Manatee officials decided building a bridge would be too expensive.
"We worked hard on (our proposal), and I think we did a good job," Neal said. "Still in all, if the county can build the bridge for $28 million without tolls, I think that's their only choice. So, I think they made a good choice. We support it."
Growth in East County has slowed in the last year, making the need for the bridge less pressing. Construction costs also have decreased, causing several county road projects to come in under budget.
"Now that we've had a downturn in the market, there's not the growth there once was so we have realized some savings," Schulhofer said.
Schulhofer said the bridge could be paid for using money saved from reduced costs on the widening of U.S. 301 in Parrish and from the county's Automated Traffic Management System.
Companies submitting proposals for the bridge will design for the structure's future widening to four lanes, Schulhofer said.
After the county accepts a bid, the project likely will spend about 18 months in design before construction begins, he said.
Contact Pam McTeer at email@example.com.
The Manatee County Board of Commissioners initially supported efforts of a group called the Fort Hamer Bridge Associates, which proposed a public-private partnership in which it would construct a privately owned toll bridge over the Manatee River. A swap of county-owned and privately owned land would have been necessary for construction to be completed.
After the board decided to go with a two-lane Fort Hamer Bridge using county funds, board members decided they should establish a policy for creating public-private partnerships.

Could Bowyer's dirt team be impacted by his likely departure from Richard Childress Racing?Friday, September 9th, 2011

Both owner Richard Childress and driver Clint Bowyer sound as if they have given up hope for the Kansas native to return to his #33 Richard Childress Racing Chevrolets next season.

Gordon proves he's a serious threat to dethrone JohnsonTuesday, September 6th, 2011

There are a number of potential issues to consider going into Tuesday's Atlanta raceTuesday, September 6th, 2011
By Richard Allen
There are perhaps as many unknowns going into Tuesday's rescheduled affair at the Atlanta Motor Speedway as there have been in quite some time for a Sprint Cup race. This weekend's weather delays will create some extra headaches for teams as they prepare their cars for the event.
For one thing, the preparation itself […]
Changing start times because of weather for NASCAR races not feasible or a good ideaSunday, September 4th, 2011
By Richard Allen
With rain bearing down on the Atlanta Motor Speedway, some have proposed the possibility of changing the start times of races in order to get events in before the inclement weather arrives. While juggling pre-race activities to gain five or ten minutes toward the start is certainly feasible, gaining hours is not.
Even when the […]
Rain out in Atlanta is tough all the way around for NASCARSunday, September 4th, 2011

The weather around Atlanta Motor Speedway simply would not allow for the running of Sunday night's 500 mile NASCAR Sprint Cup affair in the Georgia state capital.

DOVER, Del. (AP/WBOC)- The Sussex County sheriff is appealing a court ruling that Delaware's constitution does not give police powers to county sheriffs.
The ruling last month came in a lawsuit filed by Sheriff Jeff Christopher against state and county officials.
Christopher's lawyer filed a notice of appeal Wednesday with the state Supreme Court.
Christopher argues that he is embodied with police powers by Delaware's constitution, which names sheriffs, along with other officials, as "conservators of the peace."
But Judge T. Henley Graves ruled that the constitution does not enumerate any powers for sheriffs, and that courts have used common law to define such powers. Graves declared that the General Assembly was within its powers in passing a law last year barring sheriffs and their deputies in Delaware from making arrests.
Christopher said he is hopeful his appeal will be heard sometime this summer.

Red Butte Gardens was recognized in 2009 by ParentsConnect as the best tourist spot in Salt Lake City. With properly mannered gardens as well as natural areas, this verdant oasis charms humans, honeybees, and wood sprites of all ages. Exercise the body's primary olfactory organ on the Floral Walk, which provides exclusive access to such botanical hotspots as the Rose Garden, the Fragrance Garden, and the Children's Garden. Visitors who prefer nature with its grasses untamed and nails unmanicured should proceed directly to the natural area, where trails connected by less than six degrees of separation lead to canyon overlooks, creeks, and quarry houses.
For more than 60 years, the staff at YMCA Camp Roger has been developing programs that get kids and teens off the couch and in the great outdoors. In doing so, its aim is to help the kids develop social skills that can foster confidence, independence, and leadership. In addition to traditional sleepover camps—where 6–10 kids stay in cabins at night and practice mountain biking, archery, hiking, and arts and crafts during the day—the camp offers focused programs such as creative arts or horseback riding. And if the clan needs a break from the housecat's despotic demands, it can attend a family camp over Labor Day weekend.
The Glo Run 5K always takes place at night, but it doesn't seem like it. The course is lined with black lights and lasers, and runners sport glow-in-the-dark gear from T-shirts to sunglasses. On-course DJs add to the festivities, blasting tunes as the untimed participants run, walk, or dance to the finish line. Even more DJs await them there at the glow-in-the-dark after party, which lights up the night better than a raccoon that's swallowed a flashlight.
When Utah High Adventure's staff members head into work, they don't sip coffee during meetings or ride the elevator up to an office on the ninth floor. Instead, they crash through raging whitewater rapids and rappel down the sides of canyons against a backdrop of sun-soaked red rocks. Years of training and education have earned them the certification and expertise to lead other thrill-seekers on rock climbs, which is more satisfying than scaling the granite backsplash of a neighbor's fancy kitchen. They also guide mountain-bike rides across Utah's rippling alpine trails. During the spring, summer, and fall months, the company hosts weeklong tours into the wild, which include lodging and equipment.
Helping visitors make the most of the picturesque surroundings, Park City Adventure Company guides groups on tubing, hiking, fishing, and biking adventures. Customers can climb into one of the company's Unimogs?giant off-roading jeeps?for a seated adventure, or hop on a mountain bike to explore beginner- to advanced-level trails. Meanwhile, tubing trips beckon groups to push out onto the water for a leisurely float through a Class II river.

Do you use any cleaners with microbeads? You know, ones like this:
Microbeads are also in other lotions, sunscreens, and even toothpaste.
Did you ever think about how many microbeads are in one bottle of things like this? There's a lot.
Why is that bad? Because these little microbeads are made of plastic, and they're of a size designed to go right down your drain. Where do they end up?
Well, of course — they end up in the oceans, eventually. And they look just like fish eggs to animals, who eat them and eventually die.
There is a push to ban them, and measures are being debated in New York state and a few others. Johnson and Johnson and a few other manufacturers have promised to "phase out" use of microbeads — but they've set up a multi-year time frame for this and that's way too long for me. And as the soaps are phased out, you can be sure that you're going to see a lot of them on sale or even clearance and it's going to be really tempting to buy them. Don't.
If you like scrubs, you can use scrubs with natural exfoliants, for example, walnut shells. Honestly, I'm not sure what we can do with those soaps we already own, but for now, don't buy any more. And be sure to tell your friends.
A few links with more info:
- NPR Article on this topic with 4:30 minute podcast attached
- An article in Time Magazine about the push to ban these
- Article on Mother Jones
this is a super important PSA
