What celebrities wish for on their birthday

I'm a pretty big Ed Norton fan. Great actor. I've heard some stories, though, that he's hard to deal with on the set. Likes to take control over the script and the direction and stuff and is generally a pain in the rear. It happens. Marlon Brando was the same way and, unlike Norton, Brando…
Jim Hendry fired as Cubs GM
Aug 19, 2011, 11:24 AM EDT
So much for that vote of confidence last week, huh? Jim Hendry has been fired as the Cubs general manager, reports David Kaplan of CSNChicago.com. The termination is effective immediately. Kaplan reports that Hendry is currently meeting with the Cubs in the clubhouse, presumably being thanked by the players for all of those ridiculous contracts…

Adrian Gonzalez says his neck is not to blame for his power outage
Aug 19, 2011, 10:30 AM EDT
Earlier this week Terry Francona said that Adrian Gonzalez's recent struggles were due to his bad neck. Gonzalez dismissed that after another bad night last night: "I'm not hitting because my swing isn't good right now, not because of my neck" Not that this absolves his neck. He says that the swing is messed up…
An MLB.com columnist pens a love letter to baseball commissioners

I long ago abandoned the notion that MLB.com was Pravda or something, which is what I first thought it would be when it started up. The reporting there is very good, and sometimes great. Many of the MLB.com beat writers are much better than the newspaper guys who cover the same beat. Many of the…
Mets drop to 14th in overall attendance; on pace for worst year since 2004

Kaja Whitehouse of the New York Post reports the Mets are suffering from an eight percent decline in home attendance and have dropped to 14th place in baseball's average attendance standings. Average attendance this year is 30,891. That's the lowest per-game average since 2004. On the one hand, if you look at the Mets…
Jerry Reinsdorf unsure if expanded playoffs, realignment is going to happen
Aug 19, 2011, 8:50 AM EDT
We've spent a lot of time this spring and summer talking about realignment and the expansion of the playoffs, but at the owners' meetings the other day, White Sox honcho Jerry Reinsdorf voiced skepticism that either of those things would happen: "I'm not sure I'm in favor of the expanded playoffs. If it happens, I…
Former Congressman: Roger Clemens "has suffered enough"

Former Congressman Tom Davis, who was co-chair of the committee which recommended that Clemens be investigated for perjury following his testimony, said yesterday that he thinks the Justice Department should cut bait on the prosecution and that Clemens has already "suffered enough." The suffering, Davis said, was the millions in legal fees Clemens has had…

Royals sign Jeff Francoeur to two-year, $13.5 million extension
Aug 18, 2011, 11:34 AM EDT
UPDATE: The new deal is worth $13.5 million for two seasons. ========== Credit where it is due. Jeff Francoeur is having a better season than anyone — especially me — thought he would. He's hitting .278/.328/.465 with 15 homers and 66 RBI and he's playing his usual above-average defense. That's more than useful in the…

Mike Jacobs, a 1B/DH type who spent time with the Mets, Marlins and Royals over the years, and who this year has been playing at Colorado Springs for the Rockies organization, has been suspended 50 games for HGH.

The Tribe releases Austin Kearns
Aug 18, 2011, 9:23 AM EDT
No, this isn't a big story, and no it's not surprising at all. Shin-Soo Choo is coming back, a roster spot is needed and Kearns — who is hitting .200/.302/.287 — is the dictionary definition of expendable, so he's gone. But it is notable for one reason. For years Kearns was always such a saber-boy…
The Brewers are basically unstoppable
Aug 18, 2011, 8:47 AM EDT
Probably worth noting at this point that the Milwaukee Brewers are unstoppable. They've won 19 of 21 games. When this nice little run began in late July they were tied with the Cardinals for first place. Now they lead by seven and are close to putting the NL Central away. They're 47-15 at home for…
Royals awarded a gift home run when umps whiff on the ground rules
Aug 18, 2011, 8:20 AM EDT
The disputed Billy Butler home run in the Yankees-Royals game is going to be used by instant replay opponents to say that even a replay system isn't perfect, but in this case replay wasn't the problem. It was human error. As in, the umpires apparently didn't know the ground rules of the ballpark in which…

Stephen Strasburg could return September 2
Aug 17, 2011, 5:25 PM EDT
Adam Kilgore of the Washington Post spoke with Davey Johnson today, who said that Stephen Strasburg could return to the bigs and make the start on September 2nd. That's a Friday against the Mets at Nationals Park. Kilgore refers to it as a "speculative" time table, however, so that could slide. Given that September 2nd…
The Red Sox lose again; offense still AWOL
Aug 17, 2011, 4:49 PM EDT
The Sox just lost to the Rays, 4-0. They only got three hits in the game. Again. They got three hits in each game of yesterday's double-header as well. Part of this, of course, is facing good Tampa Bay Rays pitching. Today it was David Price, shutting the Sox out for eight innings. Yesterday it…
The Yankees don't want anyone copyrighting the term "Evil Empire"
Aug 17, 2011, 4:09 PM EDT
Good reading over at Deadspin today, as Barry Petchesky tells the story of a couple of people who have printed up anti-Yankees merchandise with the phrase "Evil Empire" on it and who have attempted to register the copyright. The Yankees, however, are none too pleased. Partially because it puts them in a bad light, but…
Ryan Dempster is unsure what to think about Carlos Zambrano
Aug 17, 2011, 2:40 PM EDT
Cubs pitcher Ryan Dempster was on a radio show today and he was asked about Carlos Zambrano and whether or not he would be welcomed back to the Cubs. Dempster was pretty sensible about it all in my view. He noted that some stuff would have to happen before Zambrano could come back and noted…

Aug 17, 2011, 1:19 PM EDT
Slagging on the Cubs for not winning a World Series in a long time is pretty stale by now. We get it. It's been forever. Blah blah blah. But once in a while you get a fresh take on it. Like this one from Steve Rushin in Sports Illustrated, who manages to reference Harriet Tubman,…
David Ortiz to miss a week with bursitis

Red Sox' DH David Ortiz missed last night's game with bursitis in his right heel. He's going to need to be in a boot for a few days and tells WEEI's Alex Speier that he expects to miss no more than a week. In other news, the last time I heard someone complaining about bursitis,…

Twitter questions are tomorrow, but I got a random one thrown my way about five minutes ago by reader BioInFocus: When was the last time a team won the World Series without having a future Hall of Famer on the roster? Obviously that's hard to answer given that, you know, the best players in a…

Mako Shark / Maco Shark Corvettes
Vette Videos: Larry Shinoda and Peter M. De Lorenzo Talk About Corvette Design Legend, Bill Mitchell
Dateline: 4.1.12
Shinoda shares his Mitchell "fish story" and De Lorenzo shares his ""neighborhood kid on a bike" Mitchell story!
Here's one for the Kawinkydink Department. I thought we were all done with our look back and the life and career of Larry Shinoda – wrong! This morning while surfing around the net, I found a video about Bill Mitchell. Before I knew it, there's Larry Shinoda telling stories about his former boss, Bill Mitchell!
Most of us in the Corvette community are very familiar with the unique "shark" paint style used on the Mako Shark-I, Mako Shark-II, and the Manta Ray concept/show cars. Larry shared a wonderful story about how the guys in the painting department perfected that distinctive paint scheme.
Also interviewed in the video is the late David E. Davis, former Campbell-Ewald Advertising man, former editor of Car and Driver, and founder and former editor of Automobile Magazine. Here's the video…
The second video is hosted by Peter M. De Lorenzo, editor and chief of AutoExtremist.com and son of former GM VP of Public Relations Anthony De Lorenzo. Continue reading
Vette Video: 1960 Mako Shark-I Corvette At The Georgia Aquarium
Dateline: 3.5.12
What A Better Place To Show Off the Mako Shark-I
Lucky for us, GM design chief, Bill Mitchell had a fish fetish. Or should we say, a shark obsession. I once read an amusing story about Mitchell and his "shark thing." He was talking with someone about the Mako Shark-I show car and he said, (sorry for the paraphrasing) "Look at the open mouth in that grille area. You can just see the blood dripping from the opening!" Yea, he was "into it."
The story goes that Mitchell caught a big shark off the coast of Bimini and had it stuffed and mounted. It must have been his muse because he obviously picked up on three design elements.
1. The real shark's side gills. On the car they show up just ahead of the front wheel wells and just behind the rear wheel wells.
2. The real shark's open mouth snout. Gee Bill, no teeth for the car? I think over the years, a few show car Corvettes have been seen with shark's teeth.
3. The real shark's light underbelly and dark blue top. This became the signature "Mako Shark" paint job with lots of variations.
NEW Mako Shark Tribute Art Print From K. Scott Teeters
Dateline: 1.25.12
A Salute to the design the set the style for America's sports car, the Corvette.
It's only been a week or so since the photos of a disguised C7 Corvette surfaced and already the critics are weighing in. One report commented that the profile and proportions look too much like the current C6. And therein lies the designer's dilemma when it comes to designing a new Corvette. The new design has to "look like a Corvette," but has to "look new." This isn't a new problem actually. But before we come down on the Corvette design team too harshly, we should all just breath… and be patient. Those disguised cars always look bad.
But, there is no doubt that the Corvette's image will forever be locked into the design that goes all the way back to 1963-1964 when GM's VP of Design, Bill Mitchell charged his designers with the challenge to, "Design a "narrow, slim, "selfish" center section and coupe body, a prominently tapered tail, an "all of one piece" blending of the upper and lower portions of the body, prominent wheels with protective fenders, distinctively separate from the main body, yet gaffed organically to it." The end result was the Mako Shark-II. Continue reading
1974 Maco Shark Corvette Build Project
Dateline: 1.21.1
So, you want to build yourself a Maco Corvette? Get your work clothes!
We were very pleased with the response to our Mako Shark Attack Week from the beginning of January 2012. I first saw the Mako Shark-II back in '66 and thought it was the most stunning car I'd ever seen. It looked like what I had imagined "cars from the future" would look like. Obviously, I wasn't the only one that was touched, moved, and inspired.
The Cliff Notes version of the Mako Shark-II story is this. Chevrolet blows minds with the non-running Mako Shark-II at the New York World's Fair in 1965. The crowds went wild and told Chevrolet, "We want one!" And Chevrolet said, "We'll get right on it!" The running Mako Shark-II with it's big 427 big-block engine was just "out'a sight!" But when the Mako Shark-II-inspired '68 Corvette came out, some said, "What's that? That's not a Mako Shark!" One guy took it upon himself to build his own Mako Shark-II body for the new Corvette. John Silva's "Maco Shark" Corvette body kit filled the void that Chevrolet created. Silva's Maco kit got the attention of Motion Performance's Joel Rosen, who had recently unleashed his Phase III GT Corvette, and was looking for something even more exotic to offer his Motion customers. Rosen and Silva made a deal and the rest is history. Motion and Silva made a few turnkey Maco Sharks and sold LOTS of body kits and parts.
The kit car industry has come a long way since the '60s when Meyers-Manx, Fiberfab, Silva, Motion, and others were selling kits. The nature of kits cars is that most are never completed, with electrical issues usually being the number one issue. What it comes down to is that for a kit car to turn out great, you need excellent craftsmen and a fair amount of cash. A fully-functional kit car can be as complicated as a manufactured car.

Motion Maco Shark & Silva Maco Shark Gallery
Dateline: 1.17.1
The Motherload of Maco Corvette Photos!
Our Mako Shark Attack Week was a big hit (LOTS of visitors) and got the attention of what may well be two of the biggest Maco Shark fans out there in cyberland. The other day we had a brief note from Robert Egli complimenting one of the Mako Shark posts from our "Mako Shark Attack Week." He wrote, "For more photos of Mako Sharks just check out the gallery above." So I went to the link and WOW! I didn't count the number of pictures Robert has on the page, but I spent at least an hour carefully looking over the collection of images. The cars range from stunning to junkyard specials, which is fairly typical of kit cars. To visit the Maco Gallery, CLICK HERE. Continue reading
Mako Shark Attack Week!!! The Motion / Silva Macos
Dateline: 1.6.12
More Mako Shark-II that a Production C3 Corvette
As groovy as the new C3 1968 Corvette looked to most Vette fans, for some, it wasn't what they were expecting. What they were expecting was what they'd been drooling over since '65 – a production version of the "Mako Shark" show cars. They didn't want to hear a lot of bunk about what can or can't be manufactured or that the Mako's front fender humps were too tall. They wanted the Mako Shark-II, period!
While some grumped and grumbled, one man did something about it. He made his own Mako Shark-II. And to prevent GM from crashing down on his head, he called it the "Maco Shark." John Silva produced the first total body kit for the late model, C3 Corvette. The only part of the exterior body that was production Corvette was the windshield. While the completed kit wasn't a 100% dead ringer for Bill Mitchell's Mako Shark-II, it was close enough for many. But what put the Silva Maco on the map was the guy from Long Island that was already building Chevy supercars and could make sure the Maco had gobs of grunt. Yes, Joel Rosen.
Joel Rosen, along with PR master, Marty Schorr, editor of CARS Magazine, were already in the thick of things with their Baldwin-Motion Phase-III Supercars. Their line of turn-key, bad-ass Super Chevys was called, "The Fantastic Five." You can get a heap'n help'n of Baldwin-Motion dishes at our sister blog site, www.BaldwinMotionReport.com. While the sales of Phase-III Supercars was cooking along in 1969, Rosen was thinking ahead and working out the details of his Phase-III GT Corvette. Rosen's plan was to offer a true GT (Grand Touring) version of his Phase-III Corvette. The classic GT car configuration used a stout frame and chassis, plenty of power, excellent brakes, creature comforts, and room for travel bags. GT cars were essentially a sport coupe that you would use for a long trip – a "grand" "tour." In other words, a "big trip." C3 Corvette Coupes are short on usable space, so Rosen created a fastback rear window to open up the back storage area to hold those small travel bags for his customer's, "Grand Tour."
So, around the same time Rosen started offering his Phase-III GT Corvette, John Silva was making his own version of the Mako Shark, marketed under the name "Maco Shark." The two men worked out a deal and Motion Performance started offering their own turn-key Motion Macos and Maco body kits. Here's where things get a little muddy. Removing the complete production Corvette body and replacing it with the Maco was VERY labor intensive and expensive. So, very few Motion-built Macos were produced.
However, lots of body kits were sold and if you've ever been involved in the kit car hobby, you know that most kits are not completed. For the cars that were completed, some were better than others and depended on Continue reading
Mako Shark Attack Week!!! Vette Video – The 1969 Manta Ray Corvette Show Car
Dateline: 1.5.1
Bill Mitchell's longer, lower, louder, sleeker Mako Shark
Bill Mitchell and his design team cranked out an amazing number of concept and show cars through the '60s. The '69 Manta Ray was the end of the line for Mitchell's shark theme that started in '61, and was somewhat overlooked for a time. Those were heady days between the new production Corvette, Chevy and other exciting muscle cars, and tremendous advances in all kinds of race cars. The Mako Shark-II-based Manta Ray was kind of, "been there, done that" by 1969. Designers often have concept ideas that they just want to try out in full size, and it seems that the Manta Ray was such a car.
Perhaps the most unfortunate part of the whole Mako Shark-II story is the fact that the configuration of the the running Mako Shark-II is gone! When Mitchell decided to try out a few more design elements for the Shark Corvette, the quickest way to get there was to start with the '66 running Mako Shark-II. The running Mako Shark-II was a stunningly beautiful car, so can you imagine what it might have been like for the designers and builders that were tasked with the job of CUTTING THE CAR UP to make the Manta Ray? Oh, that first cut must have been painful! It must have felt like sacrilege taking a zip saw to such a beauty. Continue reading

More than 700 pro-Israel supporters were outside the Israeli embassy on Wednesday night, waving flags, singing and denouncing Israel's treatment by politicians and by the media.
The protest, organised by the Zionist Federation, was countered by approximately 100 pro-Palestinian demonstrators who stood just a few metres away, separated by a heavy police presence. The demonstrators included Jews for Justice for Palestinians.
Around 250 protesters gathered outside the Israeli embassy with anti-Israeli banners and waving Palestinian flags on Tuesday evening.
The demonstration was peaceful and no arrests occured. However, as protesters stood in the pouring rain they chanted "Khyber al-Yahud" – an Islamic battle cry which celebrates the death and defeat of Jews in the battle of Khyber in 629.

From left to right: Models 8353 , 8341NF , 8301NF , 8302 , and 8303 .
Picomotor actuators are ideal for motorizing fine-positioning stages and mounts. They have better than 30 nm resolution with minimal backlash, and can exert 22 N force. Their exceptional longterm stability and the ability to hold their position with no power applied make Picomotor actuators unique and ideal for set-and-hold applications.
Our Picomotor actuators have a step size of less than 30 nm per step, allowing for very small, controlled movements.
With load capacity of 5 lbs (22 N), our Picomotor actuators have a substantial push force. All this while fitting in a compact package. Our Tiny Picomotor actuators offers up to 3 lbs (13 N) of push force in an even smaller package size.
Picomotor actuators only move when voltage is applied to the piezo causing its length to change and in turn moving the jaws which turn the screw. When no power is applied, the actuator does not move. You can feel confident that your set-up will stay put, even when you power down your system.
Our Picomotor controller and drivers are modular. You can daisy-chain up to 31 drivers together with four channels each, so you can have a network of up to 124 standard Picomotor actuators. You can interface our controllers through a handpad or computer. Alternatively, you can choose to use our TTL/Analog Picomotor Driver.
Picomotor actuators rely on the basic difference between dynamic and static friction. An example of this is the magician's tablecloth trick, in which a quick pull (low dynamic friction) of the cloth leaves the dishes on the table, while a slow pull (high static friction) would pull the dishes off the table and cause a big mess! Our Picomotor actuator uses the same principle with a threaded jaw, similar to two halves of a split nut, clamped around a precision 80-pitch screw. One jaw is connected to one end of a piezoelectric transducer, and the other jaw is connected to the other end of the transducer. A slow electrical signal applied to the piezo slowly changes the length, causing the two jaws to slide in opposite directions. This slow sliding motion makes the screw turn (static friction). At the end of the transducer motion, a fast electrical signal quickly returns the jaws to their starting positions. Because of the screws inertia and low dynamic friction, it remains motionless, holding its position. Simply reversing the order of the fast and slow signals reverses the direction of rotation.
Our Tiny Picomotor actuator is a smaller-sized version of our standard Picomotor actuators. We have improved the design so that it will meet even more of your compact-area needs. It is ideal for moving small linear stages, like our Compact Gothic-Arch-Bearing stage. It is also integrated with some our our Pint-Sized mounts. The overall footprint is even smaller now; the cable exits from the side, similarly to our standard Picomotor actuators. For such a small device, it has an impressive pushing force. The maximum load for the Tiny Picomotor actuator is now 3 lbs (13 N). With two mounting options, a standard 0.25" shank and a 1/4-40 thread version, it is straight-forward to incorporate it into your design.
The following controller/drivers are recommended for use with our picomotor actuators.

Plantation Breast Implant Revision reviews
93% of Plantation reviewers said Breast Implant Revision was worth it
"Dr. Miami Saved Me! - Miami, FL"
I went to Dr. Salzhauer after having a breast lift with implants done in another country. The procedure lasted a short while before i began having problems. Soon after Dr. Salzhauer told me that I would need a new lift and new implants. I was terrified but Dr. Salzhauer and his staff were amazing. They eased my worries and answered my million questions. His staff was so kind and patient with... more
"This Man Saved my Life! - Fort..."
Had my breast done by another plastic surgeon that went horribly wrong. After several attempts to correct the problem I was referred to Dr. Moon. Once I arrived to dr. Moon's office I was met with the most compassionate caring staff, who made me feel like everything was going to be ok. Not only did thing turn out ok the results were better than I could have ever expected. I later returned... more
"Breast Augmentation Revision Due To..."
Hi everyone! For those of you who are familiar with capsule contraction it can be one of the most frustrating complications when it comes to a Breast Augmentation. No one is really sure as to why it happens. After several consultations with Dr. Hochstein he made me feel at ease and comfortable that his recommendation of using the product called Seri can help prevent this issue again from... more
"Breast Implants Exchange and..."
My left breast implant deflated after 7yrs. I would have to replace it with a new one as well as the other side to match. I ended up replacing them and going up in size. It has been 3 months since the surgery and I could not be happier and more pleased with the results! The doctor made the difference this time. I was happy with my breast implants until last year when the left one deflated.... more
"Whats Th Eldest Size for Me and How..."
Im supper excited to do my surgery with you, just need an ideia for how 550 cc of silicone gel hight profile is gonna look on me, i love the results i saw in yr other pacientes, the look just how i want my to look, they close together, (i don't like the gap i have betwin my boobs and the full look of a full D, but at the same time im afreid of 55o be too big on me, help me doctor! more
"27 Years Old. Breast Fed for 1 Year...."
I'm 27 years old with and 8 year old son whom I breast fed for one year. I had my first breast augmentation in 2011 with Dr. Leonard Hochstein and at the time I didn't want big fake crazy boobs and I did not listen to his suggestion when he said to get a lift because I didn't want the scars. Well, that was a terrible idea because considering the amount of stretched skin that I had and I asked... more
"Breast Revision Gone Very Bad - Fort..."
I went in for revision and after the surgery looked worse and still in pain after 5 months. I had several other consultations and have to redo the whole surgery. I am deformed and in pain. Dr.Revis offered come back and redo with double the price. He is very unprofessional and doesn't care about the surgery just the money. Run! There's several good plastic surgeons in South Fla. Don't go to Dr... more
8 years ago I had a breast augmentation, about 6 months ago I started to notice a different sensation in my breasts. They felt sensitive to touch, and they even started to harden. It became extremely uncomfortable. At this point, I was worried and started doing some research on the internet about my situation. I then ran into Dr. Perez-Gurri's link on RealSelf and realized that what I had was... more
"Best Doctor Ever Miami's Best Kept..."
I can not express how grateful I am to have found Dr. Amunategui and have had him perform my surgery. He is highly skilled, compassionate, experienced and puts the patient needs, wants and safety first. He is always prompt and on time. He is very thorough and will leave you completely informed of what you will be having done step by step. Don't think twice you will be in the best... more
"Blessing in Disguise. Miami, FL"
I must say that my horrible experience with Dr. Hochstein was a blessing in disguise because I got the chance to meet the best plastic surgeon in Miami, Dr Salzhauer! The doctor I initially went to had poor bedside manners. He never came in while I was trying different implants. (they left me trying out the different types of implants by myself)! Not to mention he kept my deposit.. Dr... more
"Hopefully Third Times a Charm!! -..."
Ok so where do I begin…. During my pregnancy my breast were HUGE I think I was somewhere in an E or an F, and at the time I was only maayyybbbee 125 lbs. Thankfully after I had my son my breast went down to a B but the perkiness I had was gone. So I decided to have a BL w/implants in 2007. At the time I told the Doc I wanted to be full C however after surgery I ended up a 34 DD. My... more
"BEST Surgeon Ever - Bay Harbor..."
The staff does a great job at keeping the patient comfortable and informed. The surgeon and his team pay close attention to detail and his results speak for themselves. This world is a more beautiful place thanks to Dr. Krau and his team. The location may have you think it is pretentious (near Bar Harbor), but everyone in the office is down to earth. I would never go anywhere else. more
"Breast Augmentation Revision (Part 2..."
So this is my 2nd review. I originally had a lollipop breast lift and breast augmention done by Dr. Fisher in Miami on Nov 2013. After many complications and many open wounds, I had a scar revision and a lift revision (originally had a lollipop lift and on this round I had gotten the anchor lift as I wanted more fullness up on top, it kind of seemed like my implant had bottomed out) this was... more
"Breast lift revision needed ASAP..."

Husain at Mosa MedSpa which came out horrible, I needed to find a doctor that I can truly trust and know that will get the job done. Thankfully I contacted a good friend of mine, Dayomie, whom currently works with Dr. Ary Krau as a patient coordinator. When I told her of my experience that I... more
"I Love my Revision! - Fort..."
I am 1 month post-op from getting my revision to correct the asymmetries, cleavage, and droop without noticeable scarring. I highly recommend the doctor that made these corrections! Even though I was told by the previous surgeon that these corrections could be made, my current surgeon really came through with the desirable results. Thank you Dr. Don Revis!!! more
"Help! Terrified for Another..."
So, I have been reading everyone's reviews and figured I should write my own. I am 37 years old and had breast aug In 2004 at 26 years old, and after having my 2 children. I have 370cc sub muscular moderate profile implants. I am only 5'2" and 114lbs. After my 1st surgery, I had immediate bottoming out within 3 weeks.

"46 Years Old, 2 Kids, and..."
I'm not a review fan. In fact, I tried many times to type this review and stopped half way. Today, I decided to type this review. Please excuse my typos and misspelling. My first surgery was done back 1998. I was extremely naïve and uneducated about the whole process. I was looking for a cheap physician instead of experienced one. After MULTIPLE breast revisions to correct cc with no... more

Hello, I'm having another revision on my breasts, this will be my 4th surgery. My 1st surgery was 11 years ago and my boobs healed too high, with a capsular contracture on my left side. Then I had my 2nd surgery with a local doctor, saline 350's and I kept them for 10 years, but they were too small and wide on my chest. My 3rd surgery was 9 months ago and I got Sientra HP 495's.

I got started in HAM radio back in 1997 when I was working for ABC TV and the RF Guys beat me into studying and taking the test. We were doing a golf show in Palm Springs and I took my exam at Don Doughty W6EEN (SK) home.
I upgraded to General and Extra in 2009 and did the W9CN Vanity call that year.
I am active in the Edge of Space Science (www.eoss.org) group and enjoy the tracking and recovery aspect of it.
My son got his ticket (KD0JIT) and we both participate in EOSS.
Here is my current EOSS Track and Recovery Vehicle (being driven by KB0YRZ during EOSS 203). 2001 Ford Excursion with V10 Triton. It has a custom built 250A alternator along with 4 Yaesu FT 8900, AOR 8600 MKII Type II, Doppler Systems DF system, Motorola XPR 4550 (UHF), a couple of computers and a Cargo Glide in the back.

Fear-Based Parenting
by Kristen Rosser aka KRWordgazerLatebloomer at Past Tense Present Progressive is blogging about Reb Bradley's book Child Training Tips. Calulu at Roadkill on the Information Superhighway is blogging about Michael and Debbi Pearl's To Train Up a Child. I'd like to chime in today with some thoughts about the method of child rearing which the two books share: they call it "Biblical parenting" or "Bible-based child training," but it bears no resemblance to the way Jesus spoke of or treated children. Instead, it takes a few proof texts (mostly from Proverbs) and builds an entire harsh, repressive and unjust regime out of them.This is not something I can remain silent about. It goes … [Read more...]
The Myth of Teenage Rebellion
by LatebloomerSometimes, as my toddler and I cuddle together to read books on the couch, I can't help but imagine what our relationship might be like when he becomes a teenager. On some days, I dread it like a slowly-approaching disaster. On other days, I feel a sense of hope that, as I deal with my own issues, I'll be able to give him something better than I experienced. I'm confronting my old ideas about teenagers head on, and replacing them with healthier and more accurate ideas.Growing up in fundamentalist homeschooling circles, I heard a lot about "Biblical" parenting--extreme parental authority enforced through potentially abusive levels of spanking. Because it was "Bi … [Read more...]

Check out a short clip from the process of creating "Jazzspiration".. the featured painting of our next Paint Like a Pro session!
M. Francis Gallery and Studios is a place, filled with art! We specialize in fun painting parties and variety of other art classes and workshops such as wine glass painting classes, Creative Kids classes, Paint Like a Pro and mixed media workshops. We also showcase and sell the original art of local artists. We are passionate about being a space where you can come and unleash your creative self, whether it is through purchasing art or creating something of your own!
Our ultimate mission is to positively contribute to the Gross National Happiness of the world through art.
Over the years, we've witnessed how making art, or just being in an artistic environment has helped so many people to have a moment to just breathe, to relax, to just be a gal, or a guy and find a few moments of peace, all while having fun while doing it.
We've added more classes and more opportunities this year for you to explore art and to create, something magnificent, something original, something for you - by you!
Our History
This journey began in 2009 when we opened our doors in the Entergy Innovation Center. Six months later, the gallery moved to the New Orleans Arts District at 604 Julia St. During our first year and a half we only showed and sold art. We had different art shows each month featuring local and regional artists. Soon after, we added our Painting Party classes and they exploded. We also added a Saturday Morning Kids Art Class. As business grew, we knew we needed more space to truly offer our painting classes to larger groups. Almost four years after opening our doors on Julia St., we moved to our current location at 1938 Burgundy located in the very heart of the Marigny neighborhood.
We've been here almost a year and a half now and its been Great!!!! This new location has allowed us to really stretch out and explore so many new creative options. The most exciting part of it is experimenting and coming up with new things to share. We're five years in now and we're still going!
New Year- New Us- New You!
Check out my blog and see what's new
Hi, I'm Myesha and I'm the owner of M. Francis Gallery and Studios. I was born and raised in New Orleans, LA circa 1970 something. I've always been a crafty girl from a young age. I began my first crafty venture in junior high school with my hand-painted wooden name barrettes that I sold to my friends. I would burn the midnight oil on the weekends making sure I had every order completed. I could do it for hours and hours at a time. Then, in high school, I began designing nails which was my life. I loved everything about it. When I graduated from high school, I went straight to Fashion Design School. Haaa haa haaa. Although I really wanted it, that route didn't last too long and so I found myself back in New Orleans soul- searching. When I left again, I left on a mission. I wanted to know for sure why I was on this earth and what I needed to do. A few months after arriving in Dallas, TX again, I found myself listening to a preacher talk about finding your purpose/ calling in life. I had never heard anything like it. I was in awe as I realized that what I wanted was what the creator wanted for me to. As I sat there, I heard a voice say to me "you are painting on six inch nails and I have six foot canvases waiting for you." I enrolled in art school the very next semester. From that moment on, over 14 years ago, whenever someone asked me what I did, no matter, what odd-job I may have been doing at the time, my only response was "I am an artist!"
My Education
B.A. – Art History/ Studio Art – University of Texas - Arlington
M.A. – Museum Studies – Southern University at New Orleans
Art Expertise – Study Abroad program- Lorenzo de Medici: The Art Institute of Florence, Italy
Phd – in progress (I'm claiming it)
(When I finally get in, I'm going to write about how Art Making Contributes to the Gross National Happiness of the world.

"Hello, my name is Andra and I was married August 7th 2010 in Johnstown NY. I just wanted to share a few pics of my wedding. The flowers that I purchased were AMAZING I had so many people say that can't believe that the flowers did not wilt!!! I have also suggested Afloral over a dozen times. I am so happy that I decided to go with Afloral – I will always have my bouquet!
So just to give you an Idea of what I used: Bride Bouquet was one purple and green ranunculus, and yellow and white sprays of ranunculus. I then handed wrapped the stems with ribbon in daffodil yellow. Both girls in the wedding had the purple ranunculus bouquets. The guys had yellow rose boutonnieres. Both mothers had the white ranunculus bouquets (they loved them)! And to top it off I had mini pumpkin pies that I decorated with yellow and white ranunculus.
Thank you so much!
Newly Mrs. Andra"
Get The Look! Recreate Chelsea Clinton's wedding bouquet. Simple and elegant, made up of only gardenias in a hand-tied style with a bouquet wrap around the stems. Use gardenias in shades of cream or white to duplicate this exact bouquet!
Dr. Seuss Themed Baby Shower — How fantastic are these Dr. Seuss themed baby shower centerpieces and baby crib created by Jennifer? Seriously. Swoon.
Get The Look! Start by covering floral foam wreaths with blue marabou feathers [or you could even cut apart feather boas]. Hot glue to secure. Then, simply insert 3 red gerbera daisies and 2 white — making sure to alternate colors! To complete the look and add that extra Dr. Seuss appearance, accent with white sparkle ting!
"My silk wedding flowers are the highest quality. My florals are complimented by the finest accessories and luxury ribbons. I create your bouquet as if I am creating a bouquet for my own wedding day. I take pride and enjoyment on each bouquet that I make."
Why choose silk flowers? You can have them for a life time and remember your special day! Plus you save so much more money. Silk flowers are half the cost on what you would pay for real flowers. Silk flowers can be just as beautiful as real flowers. Imagine spending 1500.00 for real flowers, now deduct half of that and that is what you would spend on silk flowers if not less!

Thread: system cycles off/on
2 days ago I wrote about the unit cycling off/on at random times. After the tech left with no answers I looked myself and discovered debris in the cooling vents on the rear end of the motor. I removed the debris and the unit is functioning fine now. Apparently the debris was blocking the cooling air enough to cause the motor thermal protection to shut the unit down.

Heya there,
I'm fairly new to wordpress and still trying to find my way so I can build my site the way I want it to, and I wanted to ask if there's a way to display the thumbnails of the most recent posts on a single page (so, not in a widget).
What I'd love would be something similar to how it looks in the Metrofolio Theme:
Is there any plugin out there that could help me to do this? Or a code to get it done? I'm not good with codes myself, so a plugin would be very nice indeed.
Any help is highly appreciated! :)
Thanks in advance,

DEFINITION of 'USDA Streamlined Refinancing'
A mortgage-refinancing option offered by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). USDA streamlined refinancing is available to homeowners who purchased their home using a Section 502 loan, which is a loan available to low-income individuals and households in rural areas. The refinancing option is available in all U.S. states and territories.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'USDA Streamlined Refinancing'
USDA streamlined refinancing is for a fixed-rate loan with a 30-year term. The interest rate must be lower than the interest rate of the loan being refinanced. The USDA does not require an appraisal on a streamline refinance, but does require a credit report to be available.
The property being refinanced must be the borrower's primary residence, but does not have to be located in a currently eligible rural area. Homeowners do not qualify if they are refinancing a loan offered by the FHA, VA, Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac.
The phrase "streamline refinance" refers to the reduced amount of paperwork and underwriting that the lenders must work with.

Texans LB Cushing out for season with torn ACL
Updated: October 9, 2012, 7:11 PM ETAssociated Press
HOUSTON -- Linebacker Brian Cushing is out for the season with a torn left knee ligament, leaving the unbeaten Houston Texans without their top tackler and one of their emotional leaders.
Cushing was hurt in the second quarter of the Texans' 23-17 win over the New York Jets on a low block by guard Matt Slauson. Cushing walked off the field on his own, but didn't return.

An attorney pursuing a lawsuit against alleged domestic United States military spying says during depositions in the case a civilian employee who worked for the Army admitted he was paid to attend activist meetings at private homes in the state of Washington. And a fusion center intelligence employee, who coordinated with the military, also considered civil disobedience to be "terrorism."
The lawsuit is known as Panagacos v. Towery. It accuses the US military of directing John Jacob Towery, who worked for the US Army Force Protection Division at Fort Lewis, to infiltrate a group called the Port Militarization Resistance (PMR) in Olympia and Tacoma, Washington. It also accuses the cities of Olympia and Tacoma of coordinating with the military to violate the First and Fourth Amendment rights of activists.
PMR organized demonstrations from 2006 to 2009 against the "use of civilian ports in Puget Sound for striker vehicles and other military cargo being shipped over to Iraq and then shipped to Pakistan or Afghanistan," according to Larry Hildes, who is one of the National Lawyers Guild attorneys representing activists targeted by the military.
Nonviolent civil disobedience was a part of some of the demonstrations, and at one demonstration in May 2006, police used pepper spray on demonstrators.
Thomas Rudd, head of Force Protection, is accused of directing Towery to identify activists "in order to facilitate their arrest without probable cause." Rudd apparently instructed Towery to build friendships and provide reports on what activists were planning, which Rudd could share with government agencies.
Both Towery and Rudd are accused of coordinating with local law enforcement in the state of Washington to "silence" PMR activists.
According to Hildes, Towery admitted during depositions that he had not only been paid by the Army to go to PMR meetings in private homes but was also paid to attend meetings related to actions planned for the Republican National Convention and Democratic National Convention in 2008.

Comments about Rattleware 8 in Tongs:
Tongs that bend and flex aren't useful for my cooking applications. I ordered these for the wider shape, but they are wimpy and won't hold up to flipping or carrying anything as heavy as a chicken breast. Wanted to return, but the cost of shipping would about equal the cost of the item.
