998cc, 183bhp, 182mph, Insurance group 17
It's called the '312' because MV claims it'll do 312km/h, which equates to about 193mph. When we put it to the test it only managed 182 along a two-mile runway, albeit in a headwind. Costing fifteen grand it needs to be head and shoulders better than the GSX-R1000s and R1s of the world, and it isn't.
910cc, 136bhp, 157mph, Insurance group 17
Sunday bikes make you feel good; they're not commuters, they're not people carriers, they're not really track bikes and they're certainly not tourers. They're for summer blasts, posing and polishing to a fine sheen. The MV Agusta Brutale 910 is the mother of all Sunday bikes – expensive, impractical, temperamental and utterly brilliant.
998cc, 155bhp, 184mph, Insurance group 17
The MV Agusta F41000S blends a monster engine, God-given handling and heart-aching beauty to be possibly one of the most desirable two-wheeled creations of all time. Only its high price, discomfort and lack of convincing reliability prevent it taking full marks.

The reduction of the stigma associated with mental illness
The number of famous and successful people who have come out of the closet about serious mental illness has helped to reduce the stigma associated with having the disease. Studies that are showing physical causes in the brain for mental illness also help to reduce the stigma. This continues to be a huge barrier to treatment, but there has been progress.

This is a challenge.

Even the freakin' APA has had to acknowledge that the medical model of mental illness has done NOTHING to improve stigma (and may have made it worse)..

Hi Bill: I have interesting Google Earth 2013 images again from the Bitter Root Valley. New activity is noted again. Attached are a few screen shots from my IPad 3. I tried to get the latest satellite images. From what I can see from our yard it is from about a month ago. Please note the object from the brown circles to the white building. Plus note the size of the object. We do not know what it is and we do not have any equipment that looks like this or that size.
2nd Report From Witness: I am referring to both objects in the screen shot. This Google satellite image is from August 19, 2013 and the crop circle is fairly fresh and I do not know what the object between the building and the circle is. I do not have any equipment that looks that shape and this object has to be fairly tall in relationship to the shadow which is 13:15 local time. I can update you with images I have screen shot before to refresh the area. This is a screen shot of our house and the activity of the crop circles are different from the previous screen shots.
Note from UFOs NorthWest: The witness has been contacted. It needs to be determined if she saw the crop circle in her backyard and what type of foliage did the crop circle form. A check of Google Earth images shows that the circle and the "unknown object" were in a Google Earth image dated July 22, 2013.

I'm 52 now, but I clearly remember being a teenager and hating my nose. It was uglier than everyone else's in my family, because I somehow had not only a long nose, but it also had a big bump, a droopy tip, and huge nostrils. I was even called "Mr. Ed" on occasion. (A talking horse on TV... for those of you too young to remember him!) So as soon as I had my first job with a steady income, the first thing I did was schedule a rhinoplasty.
But I was young, and this was 1985. Nobody I knew had a nose job. I never heard anyone even mention the word rhinoplasty, but I knew it existed. So on my own, I saved money and found a doctor. It ended up being a waste! First, because my family was very conservative and they de-emphasized physical attraction, and because I somehow thought vanity was a sin... I was too nervous to make big changes. I only requested that the bump be shaved, and that the bulbous tip be decreased in size.
I guess because no bones were going to be broken, the doctor used local anesthesia. I remember it vividly because I was in so much pain. Two nurses had to hold my shoulders and arms down because I couldn't stop writhing. I hated hearing the grating of the bone, and can still visualize it even today. During the surgery, I could hear the doctor giving instructions to someone... as it turned out, he didn't even perform the surgery, he was apparently a teaching surgeon! When it was all over, even with the bump and tip decreased, I still had a BIG nose.
Anyway, the story continues... I married, had a child, built a career, and divorced. I never thought about my nose during that time. So when I divorced and went back out into the world, I was shocked that when I tried to catch a man's eye, he would quickly look away. I felt invisible. Even now, I know that might be partly to do with my age, but something happened this past summer to bring all those "low self-esteem because of the nose" issues back to the stage.
I had to take 8 flights in a four-week period. I was traveling alone. I dressed casually, but with style, hair done, a little make-up, etc. All the flights were full, but in all cases, I was one of the first to board the planes. On all 8 flights, the seat next to me was empty. And stayed empty. Passenger after passenger would glance at me and keep on walking. If was one one or two flights, I wouldn't give it a second thought. But by the 3rd flight, it crossed my mind that there might be a reason for it. By the 8th flight, I was convinced. And a little depressed.
When the flights were over, I took pictures of my face from all angles, to see if I could see what all those strangers saw. I had avoided the camera my whole life, and even avoided mirrors to a degree, so let me tell you, I was shocked. I felt like I was looking at someone I didn't know. Someone I too, had avoided looking at. Two or three days later, when I went to try on new eyeglasses, the owner of the store (trying to make a sale, mind you) told me I looked like a Hapsburg. I'm embarrassed to admit it, but I didn't know what she was talking about. I went home, googled it, and found it they were a royal European family that inter-married and were therefore deformed. Where? The nose, chin, and forehead.
I couldn't get those scenarios out of my mind, and then a whole host of memories from my teens and early twenties surfaced... things I hadn't thought about in 30 years. Things I had just buried. Like being told I looked manly. Being told I looked better without makeup, because makeup made me look like a drag queen.
Truthfully, in other aspects of my life I'm quite confident. Other people's perceptions generally don't bother me very much. And no matter what anyone said, I am mostly content with my looks. They reflect my heritage, and I'm fine with that. The only problem now is that I can't look in the mirror without seeing my nostrils. They are as large as my pupils from the side, and from the side I look angry, even when I'm not at all. That's what I think the strangers on the plane saw. Someone who looked unhappy. I don't blame them for not wanting to sit next to me. I would pass me by, too!
So I began the research on rhinoplasty in earnest, and ended up choosing Dr. Grigoryants in Glendale, CA. I like him, and I like his work. I was pretty well-versed in what I wanted in a nose job, so my consultation went smoothly, in that he and I agreed on the areas of improvement. Namely, the columella needs to be raised, the alar rims reduced (a graft from the ear will be needed for my right nostril), the dorsal hump removed, the bridge narrowed, and the tip refined. Oh! And my deviated septum will be corrected as well. (Virtually no air passes through the right nostril.)
I absolutely can't wait for the big day. I think subconsciously, the feeling of being ugly and not worth approaching by most men is a deep and painful psycho-emotional wound. I feel confident in Dr. Grigoryants ability, and am not nervous about the surgery at all. On the other hand, I don't know what life will be like for me as a single woman in my 50's with a feminine nose. For this reason, I have been doing a lot of soul-searching so that my expectations are as realistic as possible:
Ultimately, I am doing this for myself. I'm a woman, and I want to look like one. I feel feminine on the inside, and want to look it on the outside. I don't feel like this surgery will bring about a new me, so much as it will reveal the real me. This nose feels more and more like a mask every day, and I can't wait to take it off.
I'm 52 now, but I clearly remember being a...

Sorry, I keep going back and forth on whether or...
Time has been passing so slowly in anticipation...
Then it was my turn to talk to the doctor. I had my computer with me, and I showed him a file I had been working on of pictures of me, along with some pictures of Princess Mary of Denmark, whose nose I love! I am having a revision rhinoplasty, and I know all our noses and faces are unique, so I'm not expecting the PS to give me her nose, but there are features of her nose that I like, and I wanted to show him those. I also had a list of concerns for my nose which I brought with me... 13 concerns to be exact! But the doctor patiently listened to and commented/discussed each one. The plan is for the nose to be de-projected and shortened; the columella will be pulled up; the nostrils lowered as much as possible, the deviated septum corrected; the hump removed, and the sides of the noses evened out. I asked him about my deep-set eyes, and he said yes, they will appear less sunken once the bridge is decreased in size. He also said my nose will look much more feminine and cute, which is what I want. He said that my chin also appears very large because my upper lip is short. Now I know that "upper lip" means the length of the space between the upper lip and the base of the nose. But he said that the tip work will result in a longer upper lip, which will make my chin appear more in proportion. LOVED that !! Finally, I have what's apparently called an "inverted V", where part of my nose has collapsed as a result of my first nose job. I know he'll fix it, but I can't remember now exactly how...
I feel calm now after meeting with the surgeon again. I'm really prickly about people and environments, and I have to say this doctor made me feel so comfortable. Talking to him is like talking to an older brother that you admire for his expertise. He's friendly, has good eye contact, body language, etc. He seemed intuitive to my goals (but everything was discussed explicitly) and artistic in his explanations of what he would do and why.
I don't feel excited yet, probably cause I still need to have my EKG and blood work, and I still have 8 more work days before the big day. Plus I won't be able to have any alcohol for 10 days before the operation, which is a bit of a drag, as I love to have a glass of wine in the evenings. So for now, it's life as usual 'till the big day!
Oh! My son says nobody sits next to me on planes...
Surgery is one week from tomorrow - thank...
Hello all, just want to start by saying thank you...
Yeah, this is my big-nose symbol: : >) Here's hoping that'll change soon!
Anyway, left work yesterday to the sad news about the shooting of school children in Connecticut, and it's taking my mind off my surgery a bit. How meaningless my concerns seem in comparison to the people who lost their little darlings yesterday...
So easy to see how it could have been my classroom, or kids on a field trip, or in a park... Wow, I guess that's on my mind more than my nose! Okay, back to business...
My PS finally got all my blood work and EKG results faxed over from my personal MD. THAT was stressful actually, and when this is all over, I will probably switch MDs. If I have any advice for anyone in this site, it would be to make sure that all gets done as early as possible! I tried actually... I had called my PS office to ask if I could pick up the paperwork regarding bloodwork & tests that would be needed, so that I could get moving on it. She said, "No, don't bother, don't worry, just get it at your pre-op which is two weeks prior to surgery. That'll be plenty of time." I wish I hadn't listened to her! I was very nervous getting those details taken care of just 7-10 days prior to my big day, and SURE ENOUGH... my MDs office did not fax the blood results to my PS as they were supposed to! It was only when I called them asking what the holdup was, that the office clerk said she would do it, asking me for the fax number of my PS (which I had already given them a week before). So she faxes over the blood work... and the PS office clerk calls me to say she got it, but where's the EKG? So I called back my MD, and the office clerk tells me they CAN'T FIND IT, and schedules me to come in and do it again! I don't live very close to my MD, so that's not as simple as it sounds. It would have taken a minimum of 3 hours. Well, I might live in sunny California now, but I was born in the Bronx, and I can be very formidable when I "get my Bronx up"! So I was not happy and I let them know it. Not in a mean way, but in a direct, you guys gotta fix this kind of way. Sure enough, they called me 24 hours later, just prior to my heading over to their office, to tell me they had found it. So yeah, I need a new MD...
I also had to get from the MD a written statement saying that I was physically fit enough for surgery. I did get that, and will drive it up to my PS this morning. Also have to pick up the prescriptions from the PS. I don't even know what they are. I think it's just a painkiller. I keep reading about Arnica and Bromelain to help in bruising and swelling. My PS didn't mention either. When I go there this morning I will ask about that. But my neighbor who had her surgery done by him, said she used butter to reduce the bruising! I was so surprised, but she said it's what is done in her culture. I googled it, and sure enough, plenty of people use butter. Wow. I'll make a decision today I guess, about butter vs arnica! Then I'll settle in for recovery prep. Thank you again for everyone on this site who has shared their recovery tips and tricks, their photos and their advice. I'd be lost without it. Will post later...
Picked up arnica montana cream today for the...
Wow, all these months, and it's finally here......
Well okay, I left a whole bunch of stuff that I wanted to do until the last day, which was great because it kept me very busy this morning! I made soup for later, went to the post office to mail Christmas gifts, even did a load of laundry. I did't want to be sitting around WAITING. Okay, time to go! Will post later...
Made it home in one piece. Eyes are purple and...
So surgery was yesterday. The hospital part was...
They wheeled me into another room where I met the anesthesiologist and the O.R. nurse. They also made me feel that I was in good hands. The surgeon also came in and talked to me for a few minutes about what he was going to do. He has told me from the very beginning that my nose won't be perfect but it'll be a lot better. That's because my main problem, and his main challenge, was my nostrils which apparently are really difficult to fix.
He shaved down the dorsal hump and fractured the nasal sidewalls. He fixed the tip and leftover bad cartilage work from my rhino 25 years ago. He explained that he would be cutting "pockets" from inside my nose to open the alar rims (aka sides of the nostrils), and would be putting septum cartilage into the pockets to try to lower the retracted nostrils. Of course he lifted the columella, too.
When I was back in recovery, I had a very hard time waking up. The anesthesia really kicked my butt !! I was in recovery for an hour, and then wheeled in to pre-/post-op room again for another hour. The nurses told me the surgeon was absolutely adamant that no drip pad be attached to the base of my nose! I'm assuming because of all the nostril work. So instead they taped a drip pad to my upper lip. It doesn't touch my nose at all, but works fine at catching the blood.
I think I was only home for 30 minutes when I vomited a lot of blood. The nurses explained that it is normal to swallow blood during surgery. They said not everyone does, but a lot of people do, and that I would feel better once I vomited. I'm glad they told me about it or I would have been frightened to see that.
So I'm on a liquid diet right now, just fruit & protein smoothies, and pineapple juice. I did have to take a pain pill for my lower back which was the only problem I had sleeping elevated. My nose under the cast hurts now though. It must be the nose is trying to swell but the cast won't let it, so it's a lot of pressure. Icing it was a bit tricky too 'cause I wanted to ice the eyes and cheeks, but not get the cast wet, but I finally got that sorted out.
I'm very tired, so will update later....zzzz.... Oh, my pics... well, let me tell you that I have always bruised extremely easily, so don't let my bruises scare you!!
Day 2 Post Op: Luckily I am sleeping a lot, but I...
I've been keeping the home on the cool side, so my nose doesn't dry out, but am very warm under a ton of blankies. I think it's helpful that the air feels cool and fresh.
As far as how the nose looks, I really can't tell. I figure it's swollen, and I'm tired, so I can't really make even a reasonable assessment. And the last thing I want to do this week is upset myself, so I'm just focusing on getting better. I'll look more closely at it in a few days. Time for another nap... !
Day 3 Post-Op: Can't seem to get rid of the...
Day 4 Post-Op: Every day I feel better, thank...
Otherwise, recovery seems to be on course. My cheeks and jaw are swelling, and the bruising around my eyes is slowly decreasing. It's really hard to clean the nostrils because I've got 3 sets of stitches and I'm just worried about bothering them, but I'm doing my best. I realized only yesterday - I mean I knew it, but I guess I suddenly had an ah-ha moment, that my nose tip is taped. There's all sorts of tape under the cast, actually. So I can't really judge at all what my nose will look like, because I'm assuming when everything de-swells and settles, the appearance may be very different from what I see now. That's why I haven't rated the doctor or changed my post to "Worth it !" The only thing I can see for sure now is that the columella is lifted, which makes my upper lip slightly longer, which in turn makes my chin look slightly less large. Those are all really excellent outcomes for me.
I have been hiding from my neighbors because I don't want them to know my business, but it's getting annoying feeling locked up. Once the swelling is completely gone from my eyes I may just get back to my life and not care. Right now though the corners are still swollen and itchy, as well. I can only see one tear duct. One eye is partially bloodshot also. It really hurt on the 1st night, and when I woke up it had become partially bloodshot. Hopefully that doesn't get worse.
Thanks for reading everyone, and posting your support and encouragement. It's amazing what a difference this website makes. Even though it's virtual, it's still very much a support group, and I thank you all
Day 5 Post-Op: Recovery continues... it's...
My eyes are really dry and sensitive, which I read is not uncommon. I first noticed eye irritation when I applied arnica montana to my cheeks. The gel was at least an inch from my eyes, but still, right away they would burn. So unfortunately, I'm not using it anymore. My neighbor suggested butter, which I tried, but I've never been a fan of butter, and was just too psychologically grossed out by it to continue. Anyway, I can't even turn on the heat in the house or within minutes they start to burn. So it's kind of cold, but I'm just bundling up and not thinking about it. (Only reporting it here to share the experience!)
On the plus side, I noticed something interesting: My medicine cabinet door is a mirror, so that when I open it, I see my reflection in the wall mirror, and a different angle of the reflection in the cabinet mirror. I've always hated catching my reflection in multiple mirrors, because I felt like I was looking at multiple people, not the same person from different angles. My nose was so asymmetrical that I looked completely off-balance from certain angles. Anyway, so it's a really positive sign for me that since my surgery my face seems more symmetrical, and the multiple angles of the mirrors doesn't completely change the image like it used to. My surgeon knew I was bothered by my asymmetry, and he made no promises of perfection, but said yes, it could be improved. We'll see down the road... but so far, it looks like he improved it a lot !!
Not sure if I ever said this, but I had...
Day 6 Post-Op: Christmas Eve - My highlight is...
Day 7 Post-Op: Cast off tomorrow night. So...
Day 8 Post-Op: Cast came off! I am so happy to...
Dr. Grigoryants has a lot of patients, but he still took the time to talk about my surgery. I asked if it was challenging, and he said yes, and I said good, and he laughed. He told me why he made some decisions that he did... such as the minute degrees of angles or scoops, etc., and he explained the facial features in terms of face shape and relative size of other features. I told him I felt like I was talking to a great doctor and sculptor.
I don't know if it's true, but the buzz in his lobby was that he just finished filming on 3 episodes of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills (spoiler alert: someone on the show must get a nose job!! ) (I've never watched it, so who knows who? Not me!) Anyway, if anyone is considering him, don't be put off if you see him on TV. He is the most down-to-earth, approachable doctors I have ever met.
So to wrap it all up, I just want to send it out to the internet world that today, I feel very blessed. The nostrils are very difficult to correct, and I am so very thankful that in my search for a surgeon, I chanced upon the extraordinarily talented Dr. Vladimir Grigoryants. I had a guardian angel on my shoulder that day, I tell you.
So, I think my pictures of extreme bruising are...
Hello, Just a little update... I totally feel...
Just a little update... I totally feel fine now, just a few stubborn bruises still hanging on. All the swelling has left my face and neck. Yes, even my neck was swollen. In my case, my nostrils were 100% blocked when my cast was on, so everything dripped to the throat. My lymph nodes in my neck felt very tender. I couldn't clear my throat for a week, but was finally able to starting yesterday, and began to goob up lots of mucos-blood globs for the past 24hours. I think it's over now. I was prepared for it by the way, because one of my surgeon's office staff said it happened to her when she was finally able to clear her throat. It feels really good to have my throat all clear and hydrated!
Tonight I was tidying up my post-surgery supplies, and realized I had gathered items along the way that I needed, so I thought I'd pass a little list along just in case :)
1) a small flashlight to help keep the nostrils clean, so you're sure to stay clear from any stitches
2) a paper and pen to write down the times I took meds
3) not one, but 2 boxes of 500-count Q-tips (and I know I'll need probably two more boxes) for cleaning the nostrils
4) vaseline for lips and nose, which worked much better than the two lip balms I had
5) cotton rounds for soothing and/or cleaning the eyes
6) 2 small bowls that I used for hot and cold water when soothing or cleaning my eyes or nostrils
7) small scissors for trimming the gauze used on my drip pad
8) different sized cotton cloth strips for wrapping the frozen pea gloves in, to keep them off my skin
9) a small bucket for odd bit of trash
10) a long scarf to tie around my face = under the chin & tied on top of head = to hold the ice in place
I had also prepared gloves with peas for icing, but they wouldn't stay put until another realself member suggested tying the gloves together. That was great. Then with the long scarf, everything was thoroughly kept in place without my having to hold it.
The one thing I wished for, but didn't have, was one of those little collapsible tables that are normally used for eating in bed. I wouldn't have eaten in bed, but I often wished for a place in bed to elevate my arms, and to have things in super-easy reach.
Other than that, there is nothing unexpected or unusual to report, which feels good actually! Today I had a very full and active day, and wasn't slowed down by the nose at all. I just keep getting the shivers though, thinking that I'll do something really clumsy, like trip and fall. So even though I can do a lot now, I still kind of want to be super cautious!
Wow, unexpectedly I got quite a few "private...
It's been 14 days since my surgery, and with each...
Thank you again for all your support and kind words these past few months! It made what could have been a scary, lonely journey somewhat of a safe adventure, knowing I was part of a community who understood what I was going through. I hope I can continue to do the same for others! Happy and healthy 2013 !!!
Regarding the bruised pictures... I just couldn't...
Gosh, time goes so fast and I haven't updated for...
- still sleeping just slightly elevated (my choice)
- still taping at night (I missed it one night and woke up with a slightly bruised eye and renewed swelling)
- nobody noticed my nose... but they did notice my bruises, so I ended up having to tell my colleagues, who were awesome about it, and one even privately asked for my surgeon's name
- the inside of my nostrils was where I had so much work done, and they are understandably very swollen still
- my nose seems very sensitive to heat and cold
- I took a massive amount of pictures at first - literally hundreds from every possible angle - but have since calmed down :-P
- the swelling seemed to change at first from day to day, sometimes leaning one way, and the next day leaning the other... which quickly became tiresome and useless to agonize over, only to have it change the next day! Now I mostly just ignore it. I absolutely LOVE my nose now in comparison to what it was, and I want to concentrate on the positive.
- my fingers felt swollen for a few weeks after the surgery, which was odd. Normally I type accurately and quickly, but for two weeks I kept hitting the wrong keys when texting or typing.
- I'm not so afraid to touch my nose now, but it is so swollen still that it feels like I'm touching a foreign object on my face, not a part of me. The nostrils are still extremely tender, but warm moist compresses 3-5 times daily help a lot.
- I still feel swollen in the forehead, eyes, and cheeks, even 4 weeks later. Headbands and my night-time eye shades still feel a bit tight for some reason.
- I knew I wouldn't be able to wear my glasses, and I'm managing okay... but I really miss my sunglasses! I've been wearing a wide-brim hat everywhere I go to protect my nose and eyes from the sun.
Well, that's all I can think of right now! I planned on updating on my one-month anniversary, and I wanted to stick to that plan... but I also have a terrible cold right now, and it's probably affecting my memory ! ;D If I can think of anything else that anyone might find useful, I'll be sure to update!
I added photos to show the Alar Rim Reduction. I...
Ooops! Alar Rim *Reconstruction* .... not...
Hello everyone in realself land ~ haven't updated...
First, I am still taping at night. A few days here and there I was too tired to do it, and I noticed a lot of swelling the next day, so I'm just going to continue it for now. Luckily, the tape doesn't bother my skin at all. I included a pic of my taped nose (don't ask me why!). Maybe someone will want to see what a taped nose looks like?? You never know...
My nose is still swollen, and not always evenly. I am very happy with it, but some days the swelling just makes it look odd to me. I'm looking forward to it being a bit smaller too! I have a big chin, so I guess I can't have too small a nose or my chin will look gigantic, but a little smaller and more refined would look nice. I know... I just need to give it time!
It is still very swollen inside, and I still have to keep the nostrils as moist as possible to keep them clean. I am breathing better out of my nose since the operation, but not fully yet. I am sure it's the swelling though. It's easy to see the swelling inside the nostrils.
I think I've been lucky... I haven't had any significant bleeding (just one day, and it wasn't terrible at all). I haven't had any pain. I haven't bumped it, and it hasn't been hit with a football or anything. I still am seriously afraid of that because I work at a school, and at any given time there are a few hundred kids on the yard throwing and kicking balls (and the occasional backpack!). I'm always on the lookout for flying objects!
I have a lot of pairs of glasses, but I don't feel comfortable wearing them yet, except one very lightweight pair of sunglasses. Thank goodness they're prescription! I wear them driving, even when it's not sunny, just to be able to see clearly. My other glasses just feel too heavy on my bridge.
One thing I REALLY notice is that I smile more easily now. I really used to not feel comfortable in many face-to-face conversations because of my big nose and giant nostrils. Now I feel happier and more confident overall. Next step: grow out my hair! {*~*}
Even now, only one person in my family knows about my surgery. I will see everyone this summer when I'm roughly 6mos. post-op. It'll be interesting to see if anyone notices. Based on all the realself comments I've read, I don't think they will. But one thing I know for sure: it doesn't matter to me who notices or not, who thinks it's good I did it vs. who thinks I shouldn't have... I just know that it was the right thing for me to do. I'm still thrilled, and though I wish I had done it earlier, it's never too late to make positive changes in one's life. Yeah for rhinoplasty!!!
Just wanted to add a pic to show how slowly the...
Seems like swelling is starting to drop down from...
4.5 months now... and the nose is really...
Oh! but when I woke up today the tip seemed more...
I found Dr. Grigoryants on the internet. I think I was just really lucky to find him, and then to have him be right in my neighborhood was an added surprise, as that wasn't a priority for me. My mom was an Emergency Room nurse, so I grew up hearing lots of stories about surgeons. I think my expectations were from the perspective that surgeons aren't people persons (and why should they be? Their patients are always asleep anyway!). I wanted a surgeon who I felt would make the right choices when I was knocked out & couldn't be consulted, just in case anything arose that wasn't anticipated. So Dr. Grigoryants' before & after pictures sold me. My neighbor and his office staff both had rhinoplasties with him, and their noses are beautiful, so I was comfortable that he could consistently give his patients really nice noses that seem to fit their faces perfectly. He obviously understood the artistry behind the nose! I thought he was honest, forthcoming, patient, understanding, and approachable. For me personally everything worked out pretty much just right, so far.

Rosie O'Donnell has had her share of controversial public moments, but the latest might just be bad enough to stick with her for a long, long time. She sat down to chat with Chelsea Handler recently on her OWN show, The Rosie Show, and she brought up the subject of little people, you know, like Chuy Bravo who appears on one of Chelsea's shows ...
Rosie told Chelsea, "I'm a little ashamed about it [but] I have a mild fear or anxiety around little people." On the flipside, Handler said that she just loooooooves them. The two entertainers went on and on about their thoughts on having sex with little people ("That would be child abuse!" said Handler) and "saving" them by giving them jobs. Whoa, whoa, whoa ... whaaaat?!
Seriously -- WTF?
It's no wonder that the Little People of America, a support group for Americans of short stature due to dwarfism, is enraged and taking both O'Donnell and Handler to task for their patronizing, completely brainless, offensive remarks. Here's the clip if you didn't catch it ...
Wow, where to even begin ... You have to wonder, what the hell were they thinking? But it just seems like they weren't. Because if they were, they might have considered how they would have felt if they were being marginalized in the same way. How would Rosie feel if someone was going on and on about their anxiety around lesbians? Would Chelsea appreciate it if a comedian was giggling about how much she just adores Jews and feels so bad for them?
It's not just crazy, but also really sad that they didn't even begin to think about any of that before diving into this completely cringe-worthy conversation. Even after they apologize -- which they will definitely have to, right? -- this is something that could and, you know what, should tarnish their reps for good.
Where do you stand on this -- is it totally offensive to you?
Image via SimplyShowBiz/YouTube
She says some really awful things to Chuy on her show. and even though i used to watch it, I had to stop. I would cringe whenever she spoke to him, and I felt bad he sat there and took it for a paycheck. ALL places of emplyment need to be harrassment free, even talk shows. For a person to sit there just to be the butt of your cruel jokes is not funny and it shouldnt be tolerated.
Yes this is offensive. I cant stand Rosie, never could.
That's pretty horrible. Sometimes people say stupid things. This show isn't live though right? So why wouldn't they or their producers or somebody call them out on this so that they could edit it out. Sometimes, admittedly I have said things that were brainless and it takes somebody or thing to point it out to me for me to realize how stupid I was. I am usually ashamed of myself or embarrassed and try my hardest to change my way of thinking. I hope they have that moment.
P.S.- I would never have said something like that. And I am not making excuses for them. I do not like Chelsea Handler. Any comedian that uses cruelty in their so called acts is not one I enjoy watching. She seems crude, cocky and unapolgetic.
It's inappropriate, but if all of the comedians stopped making inappropriate jokes and comments, there wouldn't be very many comedians left. There are comedians out there making crude and inappropriate jokes about both Rosie and Chelsea Handler too, maybe it all evens out, I don't know.
She must not know little people (or know them well) to be able to dismiss them in such a way.

About the Ticket Supplier: Watson AdventuresWatson Adventures sprang from the mind of Bret Watson, a veteran writer and editor (and occasional stand-up comedian), who started creating scavenger hunts in the early '90s for friends as a way to share his unique take on the lighter side of museums. As word of the unusual scavenger hunts spread, companies began to ask Bret to let them get in the game, and a business was born.
Since then, Watson Adventures has grown to span the nation, with more than 200,000 people participating in hunts, including employees of more than 1,000 prestigious corporations. All the while, Watson Adventures' scavenger hunts have received more media raves and other acclaim than any other company of its kind.

TAPPAHANNOCK, VA—Police continue to search for a Gloucester man with ties to Richmond who's been missing since New Year's Eve.
Ben Coffey, 27, of Gloucester, has been missing since December 31, 2012, and now his father, a Richmond CEO is asking for help to locate his son.
"It's not like him to not stay in touch with family, so I just don't know what to think," Terry Coffey said about his son Ben.
Coffey's van was found on the side of a Tappahannock road New Year's Day. Tappahannock Police found Coffey's cell phone and dog inside the vehicle, but a further search of the area turned up nothing else.
Officers with canine units were able to trace Coffey's scent for a short distance, but eventually lost the trail.
Police said Coffey's cell phone made a call from Gloucester the same day officers discovered his vehicle.
Police are treating the case as a missing persons case and said, at this point, there's no reason to suspect foul play.
"We really do not know the circumstances," Terry Coffey, Ben's father said. "We don't know if he is hurt; we don't know quite frankly if he is alive or not."
Police said they have reason to believe Coffey may have been living out of the van.
Ben Coffey is 27-years-old. He's 5'6' tall and weighs 150 lbs. He has brown hair and hazel colored eyes.
If you have seen or heard from Ben Coffey, Tappahannock Police ask that you contact them at 804-443-3992.
The Essex County Sheriff's Department is also assisting in the investigation. Their number is 804-443-3346.

Queen Latifah: The Newest Face Of Jenny Craig
Queen Latifah is the latest celebrity to front a weight-loss plan.
Beginning next month, Latifah will be a spokesperson for the Jenny Craig weight loss organization, the company confirmed in a statement.
"We officially confirm that Queen Latifah will join the Jenny Craig program in January," Scott Parker, Jenny Craig's Vice President of Marketing said. "We are thrilled to have Queen Latifah support our mission of improving health by taking her first step toward achieving a more healthful lifestyle."

Vogue 8593), then tried on the dress only to discover the zip looks absodoodley ghastly. Blimming heck! It's lumping about all over the shop, making me look like Quasimoto, but with about 5 humps rather than one.
And to think that just yesterday I told Nichola that this dress was a winner. Well, it looks like my champ has fallen face first on the third last hurdle and is looking on with gravel and tears in her eyes as the others race towards the finish line.
So! It's a long weekend here, so I shan't be back until Tuesday. Let's see if I've recovered my sewing mojo by then *crossing fingers but not holding out any great hopes*

"Sex Confessions" is a series featuring your naughtiest bedroom secrets and fantasies. Some will sound familiar, others may give you ideas, some will turn you on, and some are dark and twisted. You might want to sit down for this.
Corey* has been married for four years to Steven* -- the couple has a 1-year-old daughter and Steven's mom lives with them. Things have been great, Corey says, but her husband has recently wanted to get kinky in a way they haven't really before. He's really into biting. And she likes it. But it's not the biting that is concerning her, it's the marks those bites make particularly if they are on her neck. Yes, she's worried about hickeys mostly because her mother-in-law is always around. I'll let Corey explain more.
We have a household that works well. Steven's mom lives mainly downstairs but of course she's often with us and helping take care of our daughter when we have to work. We all respect each other's privacy -- so no issue there. The issue that has recently presented itself is that Steven loves giving me hickey. Love bites, he calls them. All over my body. That's fine -- I love it. But I'm so worried about him marking up my neck and his mom is going to see. I'm also worried about my job seeing, people in the grocery store -- I just don't want these love bites to be seen!
I've asked Steven to be more mindful. But he gets carried away. I can put makeup on them but it doesn't always last and it's annoying to have to constantly worry about if there is a mark showing. I'm all for public displays, but this is too much. It has started to make me freak out whenever Steven kisses me on the neck. I jump. And it's weird because I do it now all the time. Even if he's just coming up behind me to kiss me on the neck -- without biting -- while I'm doing the dishes or cooking or whatever.
He doesn't get why I'm so worried about it. And I don't want to fight with him over it, but I just want him to stop marking up my neck. Why can't this man get that through his thick head? I kid. I love him. I love the nibbles. But ... it's kind of embarrassing when they show.
What do you think? Should she be embarrassed? Should her husband try to tone it down?
Image via amanda/Flickr
I dont think its about marking you or anything. I do the same to my husband but I dont do it to mark him as mine. No one can tell from whom those marks originated. And few can only tell that they are hickies in the first place.
He isnt embarassed and I dont think this woman should be either. But, a compromise I think can work here. Limit the bites to the nighttime giving her skin a bitof time to heal.
Often, if you are in a job where you deal with the public, they will make you cover those marks. If make-up fades, they will make you put a band-aid over it. It's stupid if you ask me, putting band-aids over hickeys just draws more attention to them.

Now there's an idea that would make it worth it to me.
Have it be BoE. Let people buy one and sell it on the AH so that "players who don't want to spend real money to add these pets to their collection". But when someone uses it to add the pet to one of their characters, have it unlock the pet as BoA for the rest of the characters on that account.
Blizz still gets what they want out of the pet, and those of us that don't want to pay for each of their alts get what we want. Win/Win.
As it is right now, I'm thinking downrating it when it pops up on Warcraftpets.com is in order.

Companies housed at the Montana Technology Enterprise Center -- known as "MonTEC" -- now have 200 times the Internet bandwidth.Blackfoot Telecommunications partnered with the Missoula Economic Partnership to increase the Internet speed at the business incubator.Blackfoot upped MonTEC's bandwidth to one gigabit per second, allowing companies to share data at a much faster rate. MonTEC officials said this new Internet capability is the fastest in Missoula, and the newest opportunity to attract more businesses to the area.Blackfoot Telecommunications CEO, Bill Squires said most businesses today use a 50-100 megabit Internet connection."A gigabit would be almost 1,000 times as fast as the typical one megabit service that you might get at your home," Squires said.Squires said they've provided Internet service to MonTEC since 2001, when the facility opened as a support center for high-growth, and high-tech business startups. "This is part of our contribution to economic development in Missoula and our opportunity to showcase Missoula is open for business -- particularly high-tech business," Squires said.MonTEC President Joe Fanguy said their new Internet capability greatly increases data-sharing speeds with the rest of the world. Fanguy said, "One of the requirements for us to be able to attract the best businesses is having high quality technology, so this definitely raises the bar for the state."Officials said the increased bandwidth coupled with a highly educated workforce makes Missoula an ideal home for high-tech, data-driven companies.
"I think that it will not only help expand our current base, and our current success of our existing companies, but help us to provide a draw for those companies that are in sort of this high-tech, high data processing element," Fungay said.MEP President James Grunke said unlimited broadband access changes the game for entrepreneurs looking to start businesses in Missoula and across the state. "We spend a lot of time talking about entrepreneurship and putting programs in place and I think really demonstrates, instead of talk, we're actually doing things that support entrepreneurship," Grunke said.To find out more about the companies at MonTEC, click here.

Worst doctor ever! So heartless and uncaring. He has horrible horrible bedside manner and does not care about his patients at all. AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE!
Nightmare City, receptionist SCREAMS at you. Do NOT send your worst enemy here. Diagnosis never was correct, told several things, can not keep anything straight. . .
My family doctor had no answers for my constant migraines. Dr. Qureshi was friendly and attentive. The meds he gave me cut the migraines down to about 10% of their intensity and I have finally been able to live a normal life again.
I went there for dizziness and nausea, which I thought could be caused by a neck injury. My family doctor said I may have a pinched nerve in my neck that is responsible for my condition. Dr. Qureshi did all kinds of tests for my balance but never really examined my neck. A MRI was supposed to be done (I heard her saying that to the nurse, and she gave me a appointment card with that on it) but on my next visit I was told no MRI will be done. Instead the doctor told me I have migrenes which cause the nausea and dizziness. I tried to tell him that I don't have that, but he did not listen to me. He did not let me talk, kept cutting me off, and gave me a pain medication that said side effects are nausea and dizziness. I went back because the pills helped somewhat for the pain but my nausea and dizziness was worse, I could hardly leave the house. Now he put me on a antidepressant that can also be used for pain. It makes me very tired, to the point that I cannot function during the day. My neck injury was never checked out, and I did not get any help from this doctor.
WORST office ever the doctors don't care about you. The staff is worthless. they just sit and chit chat behind the lobby desk and talk about patients problems to where other patients can here it. Dr Qureshi is the worst. He is always late!! He doesn't know what he is doing. When you ask him a question about your symptoms and what you think might be causing it he smirks or will giggle in your face. Good luck trying to contact this worthless Doctor Office. You can call all day and not get a answer.

From the moment Dr. Qureshi walked in the room I felt like he was there to take care of my needs. He asked so many probing questions and never seemed rushed like one patient had commented. Maybe he was just rushed that particular day. Doctors are like everyone sometimes having too much to do in the time they have available. I got the impression he was a very kind, caring and intelligent Dr. I would reccommend him to anyone.
I arrived up 5 mins before my appointment. The nurse showed up on time, measured my blood pressure and walked me in the room indicating Dr. Qureshi would be right with me. Having waited for almost 30 mins, I stepped out of the room to ask the nurse whether the doctor was still coming. Surprised, she said that the doctor would be with me in a minute. No apology! I went to Dr. Qureshi's receptionist and asked whether he had scheduled the appointment correctly. Politely, he said yes and went to check with the doctor. Upon coming back, the receptionist gave me two options: i) wait another two minutes, or; ii) reschedule the appointment. I replied that if it were matter of two minutes I'd wait, but otherwise couldn't sit there indefinitely. The receptionist went to double check with the doctor and eventually asked me to reschedule because the doctor was busy with another patient. No apology on doctor's behalf! Very disappointed I left the clinic. Yes, it takes 2-3 days only to schedule an appointment with Dr. Qureshi, but whatever the reason for that, I wouldn't recommend the doctor to anyone who values time and decency.

Dallas, TX -- (ReleaseWire) -- 01/06/2014 -- LNG dispenser is a kind of ultralow temperature metering equipment which can fill LNG stations' liquefied natural gas into LNG vehicles; this equipment is composed of LNG mass flow meter, piping system and computer control system. In China, LNG dispenser technologies have become mature and also formed related industries. CNG dispenser, also known as gas vending machine, is a kind of special equipment equipped with metering and valuation devices which can provide CNG fuel filling services for CNG vehicles.
With the gradual maturity of domestic LNG market and the rapid improvement of domestic equipment manufacturing industry's overall level, LNG dispensers have been widely used in domestic market. Meanwhile, through the combination of independent innovation and technology import, domestic LNG dispenser production enterprises gradually broke the critical technologies of gas dispenser production and some product technical indicators were even over the imported product quality standards.
Complete report available @ http://www.marketreportschina.com/research-on-natural-gas-dispenser-market-in-china-2013-2017.
At present, the LNG dispensers of Chengdu Huaqi Houpu Machine Electricity Technology Co., Ltd., Chongqing Endurance Industry Stock Co. Ltd. and several other enterprises occupy more than 90% of total domestic market share; some products have been exported to Pakistan, Indonesia and other Southeast Asian countries. At the same time, due to the high price and losing of technical advantage, the market share of imported LNG dispensers has been decreasing year by year.
Most of China's CNG stations choose to use domestic equipments; purification devices, gas storage devices, compressors and gas dispensers have achieve domestication, and the total market share of domestic equipment has reached more than 90% and the market share of some products even reached 100%.
Currently, less than 20 enterprises are engaged in the production of CNG dispensers, the products are various and the market concentration ratio is relatively high; the CNG dispensers of Beijing Changkong Hangke Gas Equipment Co., Ltd. (formerly known as Beijing Changkong Machinery), Chengdu Huaqi Houpu Machine Electricity Technology Co., Ltd., and Chongqing Endurance Industry Stock Co. Ltd. (formerly known as Chongqing Silian Oil Gas Equipment Manufacturing Co., Ltd.) occupy about 80% of the market share.
Through the market research we found that the gas dispenser volume in Shaanxi, Sichuan and other western provinces is huge; as for Beijing, Hebei, Shanghai, Anhui and other northern and eastern provinces, the gas dispenser market is very small, and the main customers are buses.

Blee Inara have some awesome fashion jewellery to choose from, and we suggest you check out the whole website.
With a lack of wifi in some of our hotels, I haven't quite been able to keep the pace with our most excellent adventure. As I write this, we're about to head into our last full day in San Francisco, having already done Anaheim (Disneyland), Carlsbad near San Diego (Legoland), Hollywood and Las Vegas. Tomorrow we're jumping on an early plane for the wilds of the one and only Big Apple – New York.
While we've enjoyed numerous fine dining experiences (more on that later), it's also been great to check out the street food in various locations. My 2nd favourite so far was at Venice Beach, about an hour's bus trip from Hollywood central.
My two older sons are mad keen skaters, so getting to the Venice skate park was a big must for this trip. I have to admit, even for me it was pretty awesome to be on the home turf of the legendary Z-Boys – surfers turned skaters, who, back in the 70′s, changed the sport of skateboarding to the high-flying extreme sport we know today. Venice Beach has this kind of magical vibe about it – street stalls, artists, rubbish, homeless folks (not so magical), musicians, and dancers, palm readers and loads of hand-made wares. But best of all was the food.
While there are lots of cafes and restaurants, we were in a bit of a hurry to get the boys to into the Venice Bowl, so we stopped at 'Big Daddy and sons' for pizza and burgers, where we were greeted by lovely Liz out the front, who was a great help with the questions we had for the menu (that might have had something to do with her fascination for my youngest son, who has been a HUGE hit in America.
Something to do with the blonde hair and glasses and a bit of an attitude, I think!) Big Daddy's is basically a few holes in the wall – you order and pay at one, walk around the corner to another window and wait for your name to be called. Pizza is sold by the slice – at $2.99 we were expecting small pieces, so oldest son ordered three – but no, these things are the size of an entire small pizza back in Australia! Check out the pic below of Mr 6 taking on his slice of Margarita! The pizza and burgers were all fab – not oily at all, and the accompanying fries were crisp and delish. And cheap. Cheap. Did I mention cheap? All five of us ate for around $40.
Not so cheap was the street food at the theme parks. Yeah, we expected that. And most of it tasted pretty much as you'd expect too. We did four days at Disneyland / California Adventure Park, a day at Legoland and another at Universal Studios. While I stuck mostly to the trusty pizza slice and occasional hot dog, Lovely Husband discovered these: Smoked Turkey Legs. Hmmm. Not quite my thing, and at about $10 each, they aren't the cheapest snack, but Simon loved them – especially with a beer in the scorching California sun.
Next up – San Fran chowder. Oh, my….
From author Andrew Fukuda comes The Trap, the explosive finale to The Hunt trilogy—perfect for fans of The Hunger Games!
After barely escaping the Mission alive, Gene and Sissy face an impossible task: staying alive long enough to stop an entire world bent on their destruction. Bound on a train heading into the unknown with the surviving Mission girls, Gene, Sissy, David, and Epap must stick together and use everything they have to protect each other and their only hope: the cure that will turn the blood-thirsty creatures around them into humans again. Now that they know how to reverse the virus, Gene and Sissy have one final chance to save those they love and create a better life for themselves. But as they struggle to get there, Gene's mission sets him on a crash course with Ashley June, his first love . . . and his deadliest enemy.
Hardcover, 320 pages
Published November 5th 2013 by St. Martin's Griffin (first published October 24th 2013)
This whole series has been a fast-paced and action-packed race for survival. In the first book, Gene has learned to control his human side and 'hides' out in the open among the vampires. In the second book, they run for their lives, but end up in the hills in the midst of a cult. Now, in the third book, everything must come to an end, but when they are surrounded by the millions, it's a very close call.
I was actually surprised by how the series ended. The whole series was above and beyond my expectations and the ending was so different to what I imagined it would be. The plot comes full circle, but the story lives on inside you, open to your own possibilities–not set in stone. It was very fitting.
There are a lot of answers in this final book. Yet, there is also constant movement; it's a race against time as increasing numbers of vampires catch up to them. I have become a huge fan of vampire stories. I have recommended this series from book one because of the great writing and constantly moving storyline. I have also become extremely fond of survival stories, especially ones where you think there is just no way that most people would find the strength to survive.
Gene, Sissy and Ashley June really make this story as much as the plot does. Ashley June is one of my favourites as every scene she was in kept me glued to the page. I do recommend this series, especially if you love vampires. This isn't much of a romance read; it's full of action, suspense and survival. The characters are smart and intelligent. I thought that it was different from other young adult vampire books I have read, and I found the whole series highly enjoyable.
Joelene Pynnonen says: While reading is generally a solitary event, love of books has always been something that people have fiercely bonded over. The emotionally intense journeys inherent to reading demand to be shared, recommended, and dissected with friends, family, or anyone else who will listen.
This is what made the Hachette Bloggers' night such a pleasure to attend. Aside from having a wonderful welcome from the evidently passionate and book-mad staff, and the chance to meet the equally enthusiastic Laini Taylor, it was a chance for everyone to finally talk in person to each other about a deep mutual interest.
The bloggers that I met at the event were wonderful – I'm sure the ones that I didn't meet are just as lovely, but alas, I'll never know. In fact, the only downfall of the night was that I didn't have the time to meet everyone, which considering the turn-out would have been quite a lofty achievement.
The people that I did meet, however, have already given me a wealth of information. Rachel from The Rest is Still Unwritten is amazing for finding free YA books on Amazon and sharing her finds on Facebook. On her blog she writes long, passionate reviews of all of the many books she's read and, considering that her favourite books list shares some hefty similarities to my own, my want list has grown because of her blog. On top of this, it turns out that she was one of the stops in the Shine Light Blog Tour, proving yet again that in YA it's a small world.
Tracey at YA Book Addict is another book blogger who has a wealth of information at her disposal. She's a bit of a Renaissance woman when it comes to the online community. Her wonderful blog has a wealth of information about YA, and she's firmly embraced the New Adult genre too. As well as the blog, she has a strong presence on Twitter, Facebook, and Goodreads, which makes following her easy, no matter your preferred platform.
Kat Kennedy of Cuddlebuggery fame was also at the Hachette Bloggers' Night, which was a huge and lovely surprise – and not only for myself. I think that Kat was almost as in demand as Laini on the night, and didn't see her alone once. If you haven't stumbled upon Cuddlebuggery in your online wanderings, I suggest you drop everything and go there now. Anything that Kat Kennedy and Steph Sinclair don't know about YA books, authors and gossip is not worth knowing, and they tend to share their knowledge with everyone else. They're also intelligent reader/reviewers, analysing books through a feminist and multi-cultural lens.
The Hachette event was a fantastic way to connect with other readers and reviewers. In a world where so much discussion of books is conducted online, it was a nice change to be able to sit down and talk to people about what they read, what they'd recommend and everything else book related.

Pantry Organization: Storing Many Half-Empty Bags in One Large Container
Here's the thing with storing rice and grains: We love the look of vintage glass jars or uniform plastic canisters, but we can't fit more than a few in our narrow cabinets. Bags smush down more easily and take up less space, but once we open them and use some of the rice (or farro or quinoa), we're left with a messy pile of rolled-up bags. We came up with a solution that took less than two minutes and made a huge difference. See the full before and after, below.
Here's what it looked like before. We don't tend to keep a lot of grains on hand because of our lack of storage. We buy them when we need them, but then we rarely use up an entire bag. Our issue with having separate storage containers for oats, rice, lentils, etc. is that once you use a big scoop, you're storing a glass or plastic jar that's taking up the same amount of space but is half-filled with air.
So we bought two rectangular Click-Clack containers from The Container Store that could hold all of those little bags and keep the cabinet more organized. Obviously the larger, just-purchased bags won't fit, but we hope to use up the little bits of grains and rice enough that we can rotate things in and out.
This also created more space to slide in a box of crackers or pasta without losing it in the big jumble of bags.

this is what i do as well! it started because i had essentially no other option. i have next to no shelving space so all this sort of thing is in a plastic drawer bin on the bottom of my pantry/closet. it ended up working fairly well because i can rummage through it to see what i've got. i must have 20 different types of grains, beans, seeds, dried fruit, etc. it's also great when you buy small amounts of things from the bulk bins that would otherwise get lost!
I love wheat berries. Also, the basket idea is perfect. We found plastic baskets for $1 at the local thrift store and I use them in our pantry for various items.
wow, a brilliant kitchn.com thing that i already do! i'm so smart! this one has the added benefit of keeping little bugs out of open (even twist-tied) bags of grains, to which they seem to be especially attracted for some reason in my kitchen. after i had to throw out just about everything in my cupboards because of an infestation, i emptied everything into zip-loc bags and put them into plastic and glass containers. never had a problem since!
I so want to do this, but then I know I'll forget what I have on hand. Can you write on these with some kind of marker that will wipe off?
I also do this as well. It made a huge difference in the look and therefore functionality of my pantry.
This is why I love this site--little things like this, and seeing that other people get excited about them too. :)
TannerAdair: I'm not sure a marker would wipe off of these containers. It would probably be permanent. But you could stick a piece of painter's tape or masking tape on them (or use a label maker, if you have one).
This is smart. I actually use left over glass jars (pasta sauce, pickles). I buy in bulk so I just but the exact amount that will fit, but this is really clever.
Whiteboard markers can write on just about any hard surface and get wiped off cleanly (though testing on an inconspicuous corner is still essential)
My grain/bean cabinet is a mess. I will have to try and implement this strategy.
I do this as well, although less fancy. I have 2 cardboard boxes reinforced with tape (all those grains can be quite heavy!) of infrequently used or extra bulk grains in the very top of my cabinets where i can barely reach anyway. It helps a lot as you can pile them in there without fear of avalanches of bags coming down when i try to fetch something! I have a mere 2 cabinets to keep food in so its a big help in maximizing the space.
I do keep my commonly used items closer at hand in canisters on my counter top so I don't pull mine out more than once a week. If its something you pull from on a daily basis I would recommend buying nice sturdy containers like Elizabeth did.
This also works great for many other little stray kitchen Items. I have another where I keep envelopes and thin packets neatly filed.
This is one of those slap-the-forehead-DUH things.. Why didn't I think of this?! Time to shop the house for extra containers...
Similarly, I use the Ikea SAMLA boxes (the smallest size) to store and separate my meats in the freezer. They're great, and they're like a buck each.
That's great. I think I asked about this recently, and I'm thrilled to see it answered! Yay! Now I know what I'm getting on my next trip to Ikea!! :)
On the marker question- just found a solution for this - china markers (I think of them more as grease pencils which I think I've heard them called) which are what a sandwich shop might use to mark your order - are food safe and easy to get at any office supply store (I got mine @ Staples). They wash off super easy with a little soap and water but dont' wear off from normal handling like dry erase markers might!
LOVE this, and don't know why I didn't think of it before. My shallow pantry is a joy because I can see everything, but then only a few hard-sided containers can fit...thanks for the great idea!
