There are 8 people rated over 2000 in the Major Section of the Australian Championships. Top seed Englishman David Garner failed to get into the Championship division so with a fide rating of 2178 was the top seed in the "Under 2150" Major division. The other players over 2000 are Jason Hu , Tim Hare, Greg Heron, Chor Yuen Chang, Blair Mandla, Johny Bolens and Andrew Furst. Most of the top seeds accounted for their first round opponents. David Garner was able to take advantage of his material, Positional and time advantage to defeate Newcastle's Michael McGuirk. Tim Hare had an early finish by defeating Herman Rachmadi, Chor Yuen Chang closed the position up Nimzo indian style against Alexander Papp and eventually broke through for the win. Blair Mandla defeated Andrew pan in a mutual hackfest but Pan's lesser material for defence was the difference. North Sydney Chess Club President Paul Glissan last to the Eccentric Johny bolens. Glissan had passed pawns but Bolens, the tricky player he is managed to pull out the win. Andrew furst's game with Mark Baterowicz was a wild one – Fursts 7 pawns Rook, Queen and Bishop was enough to defeat Baterowicz's 4 pawns two knights, two rooks and a Bishop.
Upsets started on the second board with Jason ho failing to convert a pawn up against Queenslander Alex Stahnke, resulting in a draw, Greg Heron blundered a Rook against Adrian Kong to cause an upset on board 4. Othe Upsets for the round included Joshua Christensed drawing with FM Brian Jones in a wild Botvinnik Semi-Slav. Krishna Thapa lost to Benjamin Cheung, Victorian Samuel Dalton lost to John Alkin, Frank Barasic defeated Central Coast's Paul Broekhuyse, Dawen Shidrew with author David Lovejoy and Joseph Nguyen drew with Ian Dickson.

Top Seed Heinrich Korbe played out an interesting endgame where Korbe had a rook and six pawns v Attila Mag's 2 knights and 4 pawns, the result being a draw. Second seed Mark Stokes an exchange plus pawns up against Greig Edwards. As for myelf I got lucky against North Sydney local Bob Quek. Upsets in the minor included Kenji Nakauchi drawing with Li, Kees Huband-Lint defeated Axel Stahnke, Glen Qi Drew with Tony Baldwin, Soliman Soliman defeated Keith Farrell, Victor Dai drew with "Draw master" Tony spirov, Unrated Matthew Stewart defeated Queensland Tournament officer Garvin Gray.

Date Set for Dragon Quest
First new gen entry hits Japan this summer.
The Wii is going through somewhat of a dry spell in Japan (although new purchasers of the machine seem content with Wii Sports and Wii Play), but Square Enix is doing its part to change that. The company announced today a final release date for Dragon Quest Swords. The Wii-exclusive entry in Japan's biggest RPG series will arrive on 7/12, carrying a price tag of 6,800 yen (about a thousand yen higher than most Wii software, but equally cheaper than the normal asking price for a full entry in the series).
Dragon Quest Swords represents a number of firsts for the series. In addition to being the first next generation Dragon Quest game, it's also the first time the series has featured voices in its home country. The Japanese version of Dragon Quest VIII was silent; voices were added exclusively for the international version.
We should get some additional hands-on time with Dragon Quest Swords before release at the Square Enix Party in Tokyo next month. Be sure and check back here at IGN Wii.

When Lauren thought about her senior project, she knew she wanted to incorporate golf. She and her teammates won the state championships in 2009, 2010 and 2012. When it came to deciding what she wanted to support, it did not take her long to choose the Children's Hospital patient room renovation project.
"Since my father is a physician, I would spend a lot of time at the hospital," said Lauren. "It moved me every time I thought about children staying over night in the hospital. As I was researching for my project, I saw the Children's Hospital room renovation and loved the idea."
The tournament was held at the Chattanooga Golf and Country Club on April 29. Eighty-eight players participated with many more individuals supporting through donations.
"It is pretty noteworthy how Lauren was able to accomplish so much at the end of her senior year," said Yogi Anderson, Major Gifts Officer for Erlanger Foundations. "Not only was she concentrating on her studies and becoming a valedictorian, she had AP exams, end-of-school-year activities, golf tournaments and graduation. It is remarkable that she also raised over $19,000 for our children's hospital. We are so grateful for her tireless efforts and generous support."
Lauren's senior project won the Leadership Capstone Award from Baylor School. When asked about her recognition, she said she could not have done it without everyone's assistance and support from MetalTek International, Tennessee Oncology, Blood Assurance, Raymond James, Chattanooga Ear, Nose, & Throat Associates, Southeastern Spine and Dr. Jay Jolley, Hamico, Inc, Kelly Cars and Coca Cola.

Castro Family Testimonial
January 11, 2010 by Lisa Berg
Filed under Letters of Thanks
With the recent news of President Obama's announcement for troop increases to Afghanistan, we have seen a huge upsurge in family's requesting our services. We are pleased to be able to support our little hero's as the Moms and Dads deploy to support us all.
This is a recent recipients letter of thanks. From the Castro's an Army Family living in Germany.
The Family Story as Told by the deploying father, Sergeant Castro
I have a 2 year old son that just broke my heart saying goodbye to. We are very close to each other. Since I left he would cry for me. It breaks my heart for my wife to deal with this every day for a year.
This is the recent email we received from Imani's mom
Thank you so much for this wonderful program! Imani received his Daddy Doll today and was so excited to get to hug and kiss his miniature daddy!
Imani is 2 1/2 years old and this is already his 2nd deployment. His Dad left for Afghanistan the first time when he was only 6 days old and just recently left again for another tour last month. He was so excited to own his Daddy Doll. He now takes him everywhere in the house. Once again, thank you for this wonderful gift..

"The Real Heroes" ARC Event Recap – Rizer Family
December 13, 2009 by Lisa Berg
Filed under General, Letters of Thanks
Daddy Dolls our parent sponsor, works within the military community on other benefits that sometimes provide parallel relationships that are both supportive of Daddy Dolls business and that also bring awareness and support to our Non Profit Mission to provide Free Hug A hero Dolls to Those families who meet OHAH eligibility requirements. In that venue back in October 2009 Daddy Dolls sponsored an event with the American Red Cross of San Diego. We recently received permission to publish a letter we had received from this event. Here is the event recap.
"Daddy Dolls, Inc. has partnered with the American Red Cross San Diego/Imperial Counties Chapter to help provide Hug-A-Hero dolls to children who are missing their mommy or daddy. In a recent breakfast honoring "The Real Heroes" which took place on board the USS Midway, there were surprises waiting for some of the Little Heroes in attendance.
Please read on to hear about the heartfelt experience this had on the children attending, especially little Miss Katie Rizer."
"Good afternoon: Words cannot express how grateful I am for what your company did in support of our Real Heroes Breakfast. The event, held on board the USS MIDWAY was very successful, attracting over 800 people from our community, all of whom were touched by the Hug-a-Hero dolls at their tables. When it was announced that the individuals on the dolls were real service members currently deployed and that the dolls were donated as gifts to their families, a long applause erupted throughout the hanger deck. Many folks throughout the morning commented on the dolls and on how real they made the experience of military families who find ways to cope with missing parents and absentee spouses as a measure of their commitment to something bigger than themselves.
Your generosity also allowed us to invite ten Marines from the Wounded Warrior Program at Balboa Naval Hospital. They were grateful for the invitation and enjoyed a front row seat as they heard Rear Admiral Bonnelli thank them for their sacrifice and services. Most of all, I want you to know that your generosity made all the difference in the world to Katie Rizer, a six year old young girl whose father is currently deployed aboard the USS SAMPSON. Katie misses her father terribly and her mother Rebecca feels the pain of trying to help a young girl understand something that, on an emotional level, no six year old can understand. Katie and her mother were able to attend the breakfast as quests of your company.
I had the privilege of escorting them to their table. As we reached the table and I was introducing them to others seated there, Katie's eyes became as big as saucers and she could not contain herself. Politely but with great emotion, Katie drew her mother's attention to the center piece and said, "Mommy Look! It's Daddy." Everyone at the table turned to Katie who was a picture of unabashed joy. Rebecca, seeing the picture of her husband and watching her daughter's joy, could not contain herself. Large tears filled her eyes and she sobbed deeply while a touching smile crossed her face. Katie's natural response and the warm and supportive response of those seated at the table made it a moment to cherish. Rebecca let me know several times during and after the event how much this meant to her and to Katie. You and your company helped make that possible.
I know of no other way to tell you how much I appreciate what you helped me do and the potential impact of your contribution, than to send you a picture. Please enjoy and share the moment you helped create………………..Best and more later, Charlie

Beltran Family Testimonial

Here is a great heart felt story about a family whose children are recent recipients of Hug a Hero Dolls.
Brendan and Alamae love their daddy dolls. They never want to go anywhere without them. Brendan has to go to the hospital once a week and he takes it with him each time. The nurses and doctor think it's the coolest thing ever!! Alamae is 7 years old and she's a real daddy's girl. She loves to keep her doll close. She brings her daddy to school and shows him to everyone. It is her favorite thing to take for show and tell. She gets to talk about him to her friends and I know that makes her so proud! These dolls are the most amazing thing ever created. We are so thankful for them. We take them everywhere we go…hospitals, restaurants, and best of all to their military support group.

"Thank you again for the daddy doll! Harley absolutely loves it. She was in my bed from the day Marc left until the day she received the daddy doll. Now she sleeps in her own bed and goes to bed with out crying. Also, Harley has a very rare blood disorder call Cyclic Neutropenia and has to get a shot every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. When her daddy was her she would hold and squeeze his hand. When he left I had a really hard time getting her to let me give her a shot. Now that she has her Daddy doll it has made it SO much easier to give her a shot because now she can squeeze her Daddy!!!.
So again thank you so much.

My husband was recently deployed to Iraq. This is our first deployment and we have 2 very young children. I was searching for ways to help my children deal with his deployment. A friend saw a news clipping on Operation Hug-A-Hero. After contacting Lisa and speaking to her I was at peace with the changes our family was about to go through. Keirah and Kyler were very happy when they received their dolls. They sleep with them every night and I know their daddy is watching over them at night.
Thank you Operation Hug-A-Hero!!

This is a story from one of our recipients of our program who was able to receive a doll through the generosity of one of our sponsors. The Jacksonville, FL 4-H group, the "Duval Diplomats" raised money by collecting pennies for our cause which allowed this family to get a FREE Hug-A-Hero doll.
From Audrey Hahn :
"Eleorah loves her doll. I mean, it's just the cutest thing to watch her snuggle with it. And I really think that it helps her with Justin gone and everything. Sometimes she will say, "Want talk Daddy on phone." and I have to tell her that we can't call him. It's really sad. So, instead I tell her "well, we can't call him right now, but why don't you go get your Daddy doll and tell him?" and she does!"
Could you tell the 4-H group thank you from us? I was so pleased when we were told that we could get one of these free because someone else already paid for them. Thank you guys so much. It was such a nice blessing and, I have to say, it's even nice for me – as silly as that sounds .
Once again, thank you, thank you, thank you.

Wilson Family Testimonial – Marine Corps Family

Filed under Letters of Thanks
This is a story from one of the recipients of our program. The Wilson family is a Marine Corps family stationed in San Diego, California.
Here's from Courtney Wilson, whose husband is a Marine out of San Diego:
"I am so appreciative of the Daddy Dolls that were given to my twins!
My husband was deployed for 7 months while I was pregnant and gave birth 2 1/2 months premature to Colby and Chloe. He returned home 3 months after their birth and hospitalization, and then re-deployed 9 months later for a 12 month deployment. He left right after the twins turned 1 and won't return home until after they turn 2.
The dolls mean so much to my twins because they are able to hug and kiss their "daddy" every night. It helps them keep daddy in their lives so that hopefully, when he returns, they will be somewhat familiar with him.
Thank you so much for your generosity in giving each child their own doll. (They have a tendency to fight over the same toys, so I'm grateful that they each have their own personalized doll.) Their daddy doll is very special to them."

Uncommon at any depth on the island of Hawaii & Maui. Broad flat ribs separated by about 12 punctures becoming obsolete on base, white with flesh-colored blotches. Attains 1.5 inch. Endemic to Hawaii. Typical Terebra affinis appear to be intermediate in form of this and Terebra peasii.

Not for the faint of heart (nor the gym-phobic), our favorite one-piece swimsuits this season come with daring cutouts that leave very little to the imagination. Sexier than the itsy bitsy bikini, you won't go unnoticed in these barely-there suits from Emilio Pucci, Missoni, Shay Todd, and Melissa Odabash.
Cushnie et Ochs sent ultra revealing slashed dresses down the runway for spring 2010. To get a similar—if a bit understated—version of the look, try Alexander Wang's mesh cut out jersey skirt or Topshop's asymmetrical long sleeve mini. For the even more modest-minded, Alexander McQueen offers a turtle neck dress with sharp slits just above the elbow.
Celebrity Style: Maria Sharapova
I don't know where Maria Sharapova went last night, but it must have been a helluva swanky party. The tennis star has once again impressed with her spot-on fashion sense. The cobalt cutout Thakoon dress gives her look a major jolt, while the chunky silver Dries van Noten necklace adds more pizazz. What's particularly cool here is that she threw her black oversized blazer over her shoulders borrowed-from-the-boys style. But what's even cooler is that she designed her own shoes, complete with Nike air cushioning, in a collaboration with Cole Haan. Now that's style.
Go to CelebStyle for lots more celebrity street style!
2008 Emmy Awards: Julia-Louis Dreyfus

New York Fashion Week, Spring 2009: Crop It, Slice It
Some of you mind overexposure on the runway and some of you don't. I can live with that. But if you start working on those abs now, by Springtime you can honor clothes that are cropped and sliced. I think crop tops can be adorable — when worn with a high waisted skirt or slouchy trousers — but you really have to have a smokin' bod. For those on the fence, a sliced or cut out top or dress is an alternative. If you want it all, Rodarte delivered a bandeau underneath a web of cut out knits.
Selma Blair's Black Nathan Jenden Cutout Dress: Love It or Hate It?
Just when I was about to frown upon Selma Blair's stylist for putting her in dowdy outfits for the Hellboy II movie photo calls, she showed up to a party in a sexy black Nathan Jenden cutout dress. I wouldn't mind if it were a tad shorter, but overall it works for Selma's off-kilter style. We've seen cut outs in all shapes and sizes, but here is a fresh approach. The cut outs almost resemble flower petals, and I love their unusual placements. The pointy Louboutin pumps and gold bangles elevate the look but don't distract from the design. Does Selma's black cutout dress wow you or bore you?
Trend Alert: Cut It Out
If you're down with the roaring '80s, it's high time for you to cut it out. Agyness Deyn always manages to look like she just fashionably rolled out of bed and this look is no exception. Besides the crazy hair and strange look her boyfriend's giving her, I'm lusting over her radical red cutout top. This holey trend adds a nice edge to an otherwise plain outfit and what better way to cool off your body parts in the sweltering heat?
Fab Finger Discount: Modern Vintage Shoes Sling Back Flats
Need a little silver in your life? I thought so! These Modern Vintage Shoes Sling Back Flats ($105, originally $210) are the perfect metallic companion for your feet because they're refined with a retro twist. Not only will the cut out squares allow your feet to breathe, they also provide a sexy peek-a-boo effect. Works out nicely for everyone involved!
Trend Alert: Peek-a-Boo You
I have a tendency to seriously cover up when the weather is gelid. In an effort to let our skin breathe, I say peek-a-boo you. Spring will be all about sensuality so get a jumpstart with some sexy cut outs, sheer fabrics and keyhole necklines. I know it's cold outside, but don't we always want to look hot?

What do you think they were firing in the Spanish American war Muskit Balls? Didn't you ever hear of the Patterson Colt made in Patterson NJ?
I was being sarcastic
Being an atheist, dfrogpong-andrewcranky would give your children sex toys and instructions how to use them at six years old. That if only to bring your children into a filthy atheist brothel.
It is better that your children give up their virginity to each other on their wedding night and remain faithful to each other from then on.
That may not agree with Cosmopolitan, Playboy, and Hustler, but atheism and their disgusting pornography never agree with decency anyway.
It would appear that Cranky-dfrogpong wasn't being sarcastic. These people really do have designs on your children.
Rocmike aka American Patriot you have been stealing peoples monikers and posting under them for a long time. You have also used your own aliases monikers and claimed someone stole them to take the heat off of you. Once a loser always a loser. You stole froggies moniker. You changed monikers from dfrogpongs to the Bruce. Roocmike where are all of Dfropongs previous posts in the profile you are using as Dfrogpong? What a moron. Drogpong has been on AOL for at least a couple years and there are no posts in that profile.
Rocmike aka American Patriot, your alias Bob Suffolk sounds like the rest of your aliases. May I suggest you take a day of you sad lonely pathetic life of blogging every waking minute and go back and read some of your aliases posts. Even someone as deranged and unstable as you should be able to tell there is no difference in any of them. All repeated the same thing over and over and use the same words. GET A LIFE
Bob. you are a sick person, and you need help.

The sensible dresser would balk at this outfit written down: neon with print with bright blue with a textured coat? It gives you vertigo just typing the words. Still, when we saw it all paired together on fashion editor J.J. Martin, we were pleasantly surprised. The neon acted as a neutral tucked into a statement pencil skirt, and a pale topper kept the overall effect light and bright (unlike a black or navy coat, which would've quickly weighed the whole thing down). She didn't play it safe with her accessories, either, using them to add extra bright doses. Instead of picking somber colors, it was vivid blue and cranberry for her bag and fur scarf, respectively. And the pumps, while nude, felt special thanks to a studded ankle strap. Want to re-create the entire look (or select pieces)? We've shopped it out below.
Punctuate Your Fall Look With Prada's Latest Accessory Lineup
Kerry Gave Us a Dizzying Amount of Looks This Week — Pick Your Favorite!
It was a good — actually great — style week for Kerry Washington. While promoting the new season of Scandal in NYC, the actress gave us a dizzying amount of looks to salivate over. At the She's Making Media: Kerry Washington event, she had an all-white moment in a sheer and striped off-the-shoulder gown and textured pumps. At the Scandal season three premiere, Kerry showed us she can work mega volume in a plaid Prada gown.
While hitting up the talk show circuits during the day, Kerry was pretty in pink in an embellished Tory Burch dress and navy Christian Louboutin pumps. She then switched to a bold red Max Mara sleeveless dress, accented with a long gold necklace and printed pumps.
For her last — but certainly not any less chic — looks, Kerry experimented with flirty prints. The first outfit was sheer floral Prabal Gurung number finished with black add-ons. The second look was a sleeveless Brood fit-and-flare dress punched up with yellow Jimmy Choo pumps. So now that you've seen all of Kerry Washington's impeccable looks this week, vote on your favorite below!
Bag Lady — Cool Colorblock Totes and Satchels
Feast Your Eyes on Prada's Bejeweled Runway
Filled with bold colors, striking prints, and a distinct point of view, Miuccia Prada's Spring 2014 collection is the vision of female empowerment. Sporty undertones are apparent, thanks to leg warmers and bracelets resembling sweat bands, but as a whole, the runway felt decidedly feminine with its bejeweled brassieres, cocktail dresses, and ladylike satchels. Watch and delve into Prada's vision for Spring 2014.
Who Was the Emmy Awards' Best Dressed?
The silver screen's biggest stars hit the Emmy Awards red carpet, and it didn't take long for us to spot our fashionable favorites. For starters, Claire Danes brought it in a backless blush Armani Privé dress, and Allison Williams stood out from the flock thanks to her bold blue Ralph Lauren Collection gown. Kerry Washington gave us pure romance in her pale Marchesa dress with gold-thread accents and dimensional flowers, while it was all about the drama for Michelle Dockery's head-to-toe Prada ensemble. And perhaps earning most-improved status, Zooey Deschanel traded her normally ultragirlie style for a far more sophisticated J. Mendel dress. Although plenty of trophies were awarded at the ceremony, the winner of this best-dressed breakdown is just as important. Cast your vote below.

Do You Love This Girl's Style?
She's known for onscreen fearlessness, and that spirit took center stage when Lena Dunham hit the red carpet in Prada's floral number. Certainly no wallflower, Lena Dunham caught our eye in her bold and bright print.

Michelle Dockery's Red Prada Does Anything But Blend In
On a red carpet of soft pinks and lavender, Michelle Dockery's deep, two-tone Prada gown did anything but blend in. The Downton Abbey star — who also wore shoes and an embellished clutch by the fashion house — wowed in a ruby-red duchesse-satin bustier top, which was fastened with a striking bow, and a burgundy silk radzmire skirt. Although this warmer color scheme wasn't necessarily a hot trend on the Emmys red carpet, it was all over the Spring 2014 runways at this month's New York Fashion Week. Does Dockery do the trend justice?

Are Bleached Brows Back? Prada Thinks So
We're accustomed to dramatic beauty looks on the Prada catwalk, and this year the models at Prada were an army of color that was akin to fashion-forward war paint. Brows were blotted out to make room for the colorful eye makeup. The troupe wore blue-gray and orange shadow that was smudged far across lids.
And for an even more dramatic feat, colorist Josh Wood was backstage creating custom colors for every single model in the show. "It's the first time it has ever been done," he told Vogue UK. "There were no hair pieces; every single girl had her hair colored specially for the show." The freshly colored hair was styled straight with a dramatic swooped bang, and some models wore feathered headwear and accessories. The nails were nice and neat, so there was nothing to clash with the beautiful colors.
Prada Spring 2014: Is Fashion Art?
Miuccia Prada brought color and art to her Spring 2014 collection — and in more ways than one. Her sparkly, multicolored designs were informed by the work of a number of contemporary artists, and so was the space where she showed her work. Prada commissioned artists Gabriel Specter, El Mac, Pierre Mornet, Stinkfish, and Jeanne Detallante to interpret the themes of femininity, representation, power, and multiplicity.
Those themes showed up on the clothes — sometimes literally. A number of the dresses and fur coats had the faces of the women in those artworks applied to them, and others were affixed with trompe l'oeil bustiers covered in glittering plastic stones.
This collection was about women, but it was also about art — the two things Prada clearly cares about the most.

I have officially scheduled my TT for December 10, 2012. I have lost 90 pounds so far with diet, exercise and Weight Watchers. I have 10 year old twin boys and that combined with being over 100 pounds overweight have done damage to my body that I cannot fix on my own. Before my procedure, I want to have lost at least 100 pounds and weigh no more than 165 pounds. I have never been so excited and terrified for something in my life! One of the things that frightens me the most is what people will say when they find out. As sad as it is to say, I have been preparing *The Great Lie of 2012" to tell people so I don't have to tell what I am really having done. I hate that I have to keep the best thing that I will do for myself a secret.

My husband and I got up at about 4:30 am for my arrival time of 6:15 - about an hour drive. When we got there and were in the waiting room, the fire alarm went off!!! They said it was just a drill, but I almost walked out thinking that was my sign not to do it!! I went back anyway and they were so kind. I got my IV, talked to my anesthesiologist and then my doctor came in. He busted out his sharpie and started drawing on my stomach. He spoke with my husband and asked for any last minute questions, then off I went! Last thing I remember is him telling me I was going to wake up a skinny minny!!
Waking up took me a while. They had to remind me to breath a couple times because my pulse oximeter was going down a bit. Other than that - no problems. I slept most of the first day and my poor husband did not sleep much at all. He stayed up most of the night to make sure I was ok. He is a pretty good guy! :)
Make sure that they either send you home with extra gauze or you have some at home. I do not have drains and was seeping a little last night so he had to run to the drug store and get some. That is all I can think of right now. Back to sleep I go!!

I have been able to get off of the couch by myself twice so far today. Yesteday my husband had to lift me up because my muscles felt like they were literally tearing apart!! Quite a bit of burning on my lower right side, but nothing I can't handle. My PS said I could shower 24 hours after surgery so I did. It was not nearly as glorious as I had thought it would be!! I did have an opportunity to see under my binder and I can't believe all of that skin is really GONE!! I also can't believe that is where a belly button really belongs! My new belly button is gonna be pretty darn cute :o)

So today I decided that I am only going to take tylenol for pain. I just don't like how the Percocet makes me so tired. I was feeling pretty good and decided to go along with my husband to the grocery store. We only needed a few things, so O thought it wouldn't be that bad. WOW - that was a lot of swelling!

Trying to take it easy today. The swelling that I caused yesterday is slowly going away. Today was a big day - I finally had a BM!! I know TMI but if you are PO you know that it is a big deal!! LOL!!! Today has been a strange day though...lots of mixed emotions. I hate that my stomach is so numb. I just hate wondering if/when feeling will come back. I don't like the way my left side looks. The incision on that side seems to be a little higher and it just doesn't look as smooth as the other side. I know deep insde that it is more than likely just swelling, but still bothered by it. I keep looking at my before and after pictures and it brings me back to reality!! It is such a difference! I was also excited today because the day I got home from surgery my weight was up 4 1/2 pounds!! I couldn't believe it. I was jsut so surprised that they took off all that skin and I GAINED weight! Well, today I am back down to where I was before surgery and down 6 pounds! WOOHOO!!

I welcomed my old friend back into my life today - PERCOCET!! I thought I would be ok on just advil, but nope. I sneezed yesterday and thought for sure I was going to die! LOL!! I had a pain in my left side when I would barely move all day. It was so bad. I did sleep in my own bed for the first time last night. My husband wanted me to come to bed so bad. We did not have anything special to make me comfortable, so we got one of the boys' bean bag chairs and I propped myself up on that and my husband put pillows under my legs - I was so comfortable! Unfortunately, that pain in my side was just unbearable. I woke up and took a Percocet. I feel so much better. I will take it as needed during the day, but I will most definitely take one before bed tonight. Hoping for a good day today.

I had a gathering to go to tonight. It was a cookie exchange that I participate in every year. My husband made all 13 dozen cookies for me and I went to the party tonight! All we really did was sit around, talk and had dinner but I did pretty good. Most of the food did not sit well in my stomach, but I made it through the whole thing! I can't wait to get into my bed tonight and sleep. Tonight I will take a Percocet before bed and hopefully it will help me sleep.

I had high hopes of sleeping in my bad last night UNTIL my husband said he wasnt feeling well. My kids have both been sick with respiratory issues and an ear infection for one and now my husband is victim to it! He had a fever of 102 and I was freaking out that I would get it so I stayed on the couch. :( Both of my kids stayed home from school and I went with them to the doctor. I felt pretty good,. The only thing that is killing me really is my back. I just can't seem to get relief for it. Unfortunately, I think I will be spending another night on the couch. I just can't risk getting a repiratory infection - I think if I have to cough, I will DIE!!!

My kids are in school and my husband is sick. My kids are so helpful when they get home though. Got a heating pad out for my back...hopefully that will help.

I need to slow down a little today so I do not get so uncomfortably swollen, We shall see. I can't wait for Friday for my first PO appt with my PS. I can't wait to see what he has to say.

I got a lot done today. I went to Macy's and got my sister her gift, Went to Kohls to get my dad's gift and grabbed one more thing for my boys. I swelled up quite a bit but it wasn't too bad. The worst part of today is that I have been getting little electirc zaps in my stomach. They don't hurt, just drive me nuts. From what I understand, it is the nerves and is nothing to worry about. I can't wait for my PO appt tomorrow. I hope he cleans up my incision (lots of glue) and my belly button (I am guessing he will take the stitches out).
Great review?

If you are looking for a forced air furnace, McAlister Mechanical has qualified heating installation specialists to cover all your needs. We can help you choose a new model be it standard or high efficiency or install what you have already purchased.
Our experienced heating installation technicians can help you design the most efficient and comfortable heating system to meet any budget. McAlister technicians are up to date on the latest technology in the HVAC industry and will help you through the evaluation process which can be overwhelming. As we do not sell direct to customers, we can offer our honest opinion based on your unique situation.
If your existing system is old, needing repair or cost a lot to operate, replacing your current system with a new unit, one which can be as much as 60% more efficient than a system purchased just 10 years ago, can offer long-term benefits. Qualified McAlister heating installation professionals can help you determine an appropriate size for your new heating system. Systems that are too small will fail to keep your home or business at a comfortable temperature, while systems to large will be inefficient and costly to operate. Our trained heating installers will fully understand the control system, and happily make sure you understand how to use the thermostat efficiently.
When replacing an existing system home owners often choose a new unit with equal or higher efficiency ratings compared to their previous system. Replacing a unit that is 10- to 15-years-old with a new highly efficient system may reduce natural gas or electricity costs by 30 to 50%. When replacing an existing central forced air system McAlister heating installation technicians will inspect your home's ductwork, insulation, electrical service, wiring, thermostat, flue piping, flue terminations, chimney liner, and filters.
If converting to a forced air system in a home or business that has not had central heat before will require the installation of ductwork. Ductwork is composed of two parts, supply and return. Supply ductwork delivers air to each room in a home. Return ducts draw air out of the rooms to be heated. Attached to the return duct is the filter.
If you have any questions concerning your furnace service or any other HVAC matter, we are here to help. Feel free to contact us today at 612-423-2453

Recently, the British government's intelligence service used cupcakes to fight the terrorist organization al-Qaeda.
There are more traditional methods of dealing with such cowardly thugs. For instance, if your civilization is suffering from an infestation of violent extremists hellbent on murdering civilians to further their political ambitions, you can park a mechanized army on top of their heads. You can fill the skies with little robot planes that can lob missiles at terrorists hiding in remote locations. You can send a heavily armed team of commandos to tiptoe up to the door of a terrorist in the middle of the night and knock, gently.
But MI6, the fabled spook factory that's the home of fictional spy James Bond, came up with a non-lethal and utterly hilarious way to discourage the nefarious plans.
Called "Operation Cupcake," British spies hacked into an online Al-Qaeda "magazine" and replaced bomb-making directions with cupcake recipes from a cookbook.
The terrorists thought they were downloading instructions on how to make a bomb from a website dedicated to inspiring and helping wannabe terrorists, and what they got was a recipe for Mojito cupcakes from the cookbook The Best Cupcakes In America, published by comedian Ellen Degeneres' television production company.
These "lone wolf" amatuers wanted to find out how to spread shrapnel into infidels, but they found out how to spread "vanilla buttercream." This is freakin' hilarious.
I imagine the conversation went like this:
Terrorist #1: Once we download these instructions on how to build a homemade bomb, we're going to be so popular. We're fighting, like, Western imperialism and stuff and that's cool.
Terrorist #2: Bro, it's going to be awesome!
Terrorist: #1: My daddy is going to be SO PISSED OFF! Like, he'll wreck his Bentley with rage when he finds out I'm totally a holy warrior.
Terrorist #2: Dude! Here are the instructions: to make a sinfully delicious red velvet cupcake, you'll need sugar, vanilla extract… what… the… seventy-two-black-eyed virgins?
Terrorist #1: These are instructions on how to build a pipe bomb? We've been pranked! THIS SUCKS MAJORLY!
Terrorist #2: Dude. Let's make a YouTube video and rant. Before my mom gets home.
MI6 should be commended for using humor and ingenuity in the fight against international terrorism. Al-Qaeda needs the ability to recruit and manipulate disgruntled youths into becoming disposable pawns for their cause. A couple of computer nerds in the UK elegantly, and hilariously, thwarted those plans and maybe shut down a potential new jihadist franchise before it even opened.
Of course, there could be blowback. The terrorists could decide to create and distribute cupcakes of irresistible deliciousness, and use diabetes as a weapon.

Gov. Tom Corbett declared a statewide disaster emergency ahead of the storm.
Flooding, power outages and sustained high winds are anticipated, his office said. Sandy could even bring snow to parts of southwestern Pennsylvania and in higher elevations.
"Essentially, this is a hurricane wrapped in a nor'easter," Corbett said.
Throughout the state, 1,600 National Guard troops were deployed, the governor said in a Twitter post.
Public schools in Philadelphia were closed Monday. Public transportation in the Philadelphia area has also been suspended.
The Rhode Island Emergency Management Agency urged all residents to prepare for prolonged power outages, wind damage and water damage by keeping an emergency kit, securing property and taking boats out of the water.
State authorities have taken precautions such as checking and clearing drains in flood-prone areas and relocating state equipment if necessary.
Public schools in Providence, the state capital, were closed Monday.
Obama has declared a state of emergency for Rhode Island.
Heavy rains from the fringes of Sandy pelted much of South Carolina's coast, from Charleston to Myrtle Beach.
Virginia was one of several states to declare a state of emergency ahead of the storm. Computer models predict parts of the state could see as much as a foot of rain.
Gov. Bob McDonnell said Monday morning that his state had seen signs of the storm for days, but the worst was yet to come. He asked for a federal emergency declaration, which would free up funding.
Sandbags piled up inside restaurants in the Old Town section of Alexandria along the banks of the Potomac River.
All public schools in Fairfax County, a large school district in northern Virginia, will be closed Monday and Tuesday. Schools in Arlington, Norfolk and Newport were closed Monday.

Echinacea Plus Tea
I don't want this brilliant tea to go....
This tea tastes unusually lovely for an infusion, is sharp, very refreshing and comforting, with the hint it may have beneficial properties associated with echinacea. I was upset to find it is me discontinued from high street shops, hence my mail order purchase.
09 October 2013
I am not able to drink milk so to find a tea I could drink without and that I liked was hard. I have been drinking this Tea now for around 4 years and have tried others that say its echinacea but this one is the best. I drink around 4 mugs a day and have packets at all my friends houses. I just wish it was cheaper and that you could get more bags in a box. But hey I love it....

Getting hard to find.
I've no idea why this particular tea is getting so hard to find, and very exspensive, as much as 4.50 a box ! Even though we have found it here, the only way to get the price down is to order lots of them, something that not everyone can afford to do, we ordered 15 in order to make it affordable. The sevice from this site is always excellent and stuff arrives in good time.

Mutual Assistance
Sim-We are glad to state that this parish appears to have found a solution for assisting its members in strictly temporal difficulties. Our clergy, realising the impact of the Welfare State on present-day living conditions, set up a Parish Secretariat. Manned by six interviewers (no experts included) and ably assisted by three woman secretaries, it has dealt with more than 1,200 cases during the three years of its existence. A wide variety of problems are handled, mainly arising from the complexities of modern-day living. No direct financial aid is given to en q u iri es and, surprisingly, almost never requested.
Close contacts with Government departments, local authorities, welfare societies, hospitals, discharged prisoners' associations and the like are maintained. It is most pleasing to note the amount of genuine kindliness and sympathy so often displayed by all these bodies.
We are fortunate in possessing the active co-operation and interest of our priests who, being eased in worrying over the material problems of their flock, are thereby enabled to devote more time to their professional duties.
Our one regret is that there are so few organisations of this description in existence. Inter-parochial mutual aid is sorely needed for this type of work and, if that comes into being, there is no doubt that the family ties of the Church must be inevitably strengthened.
Parish Secretariat
St. Joseph's Retreat, Highgate Hill, N.19.

Indian Dubstep DUbstep from alll the Desi producers
I had the privilege to play this NYE at Manifesting Magic. I saw my home town come together like never before. It truly was MAGIC! A night based on the 4 elements. Earth & Water room was the room of groove and local art housing a wide variety of talent and genres from house to psy trance. Local artists from all over Ottawa brought themed art to put on deisplay Ringing in the new year with a well choreographed dance that had the butterfly transformation place go from sitting to jumping with joy.. It was a great way to make that transformation into the new year.
The chill space on the main level had a deep red vibe, rich with world artifacts and wall hangings that made you do a double take. BPM in the room was between 90-120 to give it a different sound a feel throughout the whole night.; Down tempo, electro swing, glitch hop and all sounds deep lay a back drop of sound to go with the smells of fine organic Indian foods and a plounge on one side and a healing tent with massages and readings.
This set is full of energy from the get go. I came on in the middle of the morning so no time for warm up.. maximum glitch for your itch from the very first track, but keeping a solid psychedelic sound throughout the mix.
All in all I had an amazing time. Ottawa had an amazing time... and you will again ;)

Civil Areas Covered By An Expert Forensic Psychiatrist
Medical Malpractice
Medical malpractice is concerned with the process of seeking to receive monetary damages due to errors in the practice of medicine. The testimony of an Expert Forensic Psychiatrist can be required by all parties of a case, including individual patients, patient families and their attorneys, defendants and their attorneys, insurance companies, government agencies and public health experts and researchers. The common basis of these situations include complaints of negligence such as inappropriate pharmacology, failure to take adequate history, failure to recognize, monitor and treat side effects, inappropriate use of seclusion or restraints, failure to apply or maintain accepted standards of care, negligence in supervision and medical errors. Cases arising out of suicide or attempted suicide are among the most common and most expensive types of professional liability claims. Testimony from a Psychiatric Expert Witness is an essential part of the determination of cases and requires a full command of clinical and legal issues.
Civil Personal Injury And Disability
Expert Forensic Psychiatrists are often called to make psychiatric and personal injury determinations in cases involving Tort Law. Tort law is a body of law that addresses, and provides remedies for, civil wrongs. A person who suffers damages may be able to use tort law to receive compensation from someone who is legally responsible or liable for those injuries. Generally speaking, tort law defines what constitutes a legal injury and establishes the circumstances under which one person may be held liable for another's injury. Torts cover intentional acts and accidents. When a plaintiff claims psychological injury as the result of another's conduct, the claim is for emotional distress. The testimony of a Psychiatric Expert Witness will not only aid in determining whether or not damages exist, but the extent of them.
Disability Evaluations And Consultation
The 1990 census determined work disability to be the inability to perform work resulting from physical, mental or other health condition for a duration of six months or more. An estimated ten percent of the population had some recent disability from a diagnosable mental disorder. Expert Forensic Psychiatrists must understand cultural, social, biological and psychological components that determine decisions made to seek or change employment, become unemployed, or seek disability status as well as social impairments and psychosocial disorders.
Workers compensation claims are often disputed and brought to trial, which will result in the need of a Psychiatric Expert Witness to assess issues such as whether or not the worker has a disorder, the type and duration of the symptoms, how those symptoms relate to work, prognosis and treatment recommendations, whether vocational evaluation or rehabilitation is indicated and when the maximum medical improvement might be reached.
Sexual Harassment
Sexual harassment has become one of the most controversial issues of today's world. Landmark cases and media attention to these issues have resulted in dramatic increases in costs and awards. Often both plaintiff and defense attorneys call upon Expert Forensic Psychiatrists to make evaluations of claimants. The ability to understand issues of psychological damage, proximate cause, work impairment, prognosis and treatment in the evaluations is of utmost importance in the handling of these cases. A full knowledge of the specific definitions of sexual harassment and hostile environment law differentiates the Psychiatric Expert Witness from others providing testimony at both trials and settlements hearings.
Toxic Exposure Assessments
Neurotoxicity refers to temporary or permanent changes in the function of the nervous system caused by effects of toxic agents, or the combination of toxic agents. Product liability and neurotoxin exposure to agents such as pesticides, solvents, metals, gases and other toxic agents can bring cases requiring an Expert Forensic Psychiatrist. Knowledge and experience in areas of psychiatry, toxicology, and neuropsychology as well as the law are required.
Trauma Disorders
When psychiatric disorders are alleged in civil cases, the Expert Forensic Psychiatrist must determine whether or not the injury is malingered (imagined or exaggerated) or genuine and the prognosis, extent and nature of the injury.
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is the most often alleged psychological injury in personal injury cases. PTSD results from complex interactions between the person and many influences residing both inside and outside the individual. The Psychiatric community generally agrees that PTSD and ASD (Acute Stress Disorder) are defined as resulting from an extreme traumatic event. However, what an individual interprets as extreme trauma can vary widely from person to person and factors such as the type of trauma, an individual's childhood experiences, age, gender, family history and social support affect the impact of the trauma. Perception of an event is influenced by personal life history and personality.
Because there are so many variables and the symptoms depend on the subject's own reporting, the Expert Forensic Psychiatrist has to be meticulous in his evaluation. In addition, the popularity in alleging Post Traumatic Stress Disorder has provided an incentive to malinger. Proving the presence or absence of the disorder very often depends on the experience and knowledge of the Psychiatric Expert Witness.
Civil Competency
A fundamental human right is the right to make a choice and act on that choice. However, sometimes civil courts become involved in restricting these individual rights because of a person's competency. The nature of competency is such that they are specific and Expert Forensic Psychiatrists must understand clearly which one is being evaluated. One example of civil competency is testamentary capacity, which is a person's ability to competently make a will. The evaluation of testamentary capacity usually occurs after the person's death. Without the ability to personally interview and examine the individual, the Psychiatric Expert Witness must rely on other and important sources of information. Determining whether or not the deceased suffered from insane delusions, experienced lucid intervals while making their will, or suffered from the undue influence of another are key factors in determining if a will is to be contested or carried out as written.
Competency issues also arise in determining guardianship, conservatorships, and whether or not an individual had contractual capacity to enter into agreements.
Legal Aspects Of Death And Dying
Ever since medical technology brought the ability to extend life beyond what many people would deem to be productive or practical, cases developed involving death with dignity. Starting with the Quinlan case in 1976, courts have attempted to outline guidelines for medical conduct in the process of dying.
When a person is no longer capable of vocalizing their decisions regarding their care, the Expert Forensic Psychiatrists may be called upon to evaluate the medical and legal ramifications of issues such as medical intervention and the proximity of death, medical futility and palliative care. More controversial issues arise such as voluntary active euthanasia and physician assisted suicide. Provisions in the law have been made for advance medical directives to provide a patient's directives through vehicles such as living wills and medical powers of attorney. Psychiatric Expert Witnesses are often consulted to evaluate the competency of the person at the time they make the instructions.

Indiana Jury awards nearly $31 million to family involved in 2001 drowning
CROWN POINT | A Lake Circuit Court jury awarded nearly $31 million to the family of three boys who fell through the ice at Lake Holiday at Lakes of the Four Seasons nearly 10 years ago.
Andrew Kennedy, 11, died while his younger brother James, then 10, was left permanently brain-damaged.
Andrew's twin brother, Christopher, fell through the ice first, prompting his brothers' efforts to help. He survived.
The boys walked onto the ice the morning of March 11, 2001. The family filed the suit in March 2003 against the Lakes of the Four Seasons Property Owners Association.
Friday's jury verdict may be a record, according to the family's attorney, Timothy Schafer of Schafer & Schafer in Merrillville.
"I know of no other such award in the county," Schafer said. "The importance of this is that James will be protected and get the care he needs."
James has the capacity of a third- or fourth-grader and requires daily care, according to trial testimony.
Opposing attorney Daniel Glavin could not be reached for immediate comment after the verdict, but Schafer said Galvin was hired by the company insuring the LOFS Property Owners Association.
The insurance company will be responsible for the entire amount — not the POA — because the insurer opted to forgo a settlement offer in which the family would have accepted the policy's cap of $6 million, Schafer said.
At issue was the role of an overflow crib in the lake that maintains the level of the lake.
Excess lake water flows into the crib where a pipe drains the water into a creek on the other side of an earthen dam.
The boys, who had tested the ice by throwing rocks into the lake before walking on the ice, fell into the ice some 30 feet from the crib, where water was flowing under the ice but could not be seen, Schafer said.
During closing remarks Friday, Schafer told jurors, "This is a case about the safety of children."
Schafer charged LOFS with failing to post a warning about potential danger, failing to restrict access and failing to provide safety equipment.
The tragedy could have been prevented by the $70 cost of a warning sign and a rope pulley with which the boys may have been able to save themselves, he said.
Schafer told jurors the community violated dam safety protocol in use for 50 years in the U.S. and Canada.
Ten years later, no warning, restrictions or safety equipment marks the location where the overflow crib may compromise safety, he said.
Glavin argued the circulating water did not play a role in compromising the integrity of the ice. The boys fell in because of changing temperatures to the ice, he said.
Glavin told jurors the tragedy had nothing to do with the crib.
"Ice is dangerous no matter where it is," Glavin said.
Ice is unpredictable and inconsistent, he said.
Glavin argued there was no reason for the POA to know of a potential problem since neither the LOFS Fire Department nor the DNR had been called to the area in at least 25 years.
"Nobody ever had a problem in that area before," he said.

The lunchroom is noisy as per usual. A mass of individual voices and clamor that melt together and sink into your ears without your knowledge. The brightest white noise imaginable.
Valedictorian of her senior class sits across from me, her posture is straight. Her hair is pulled up in a neat ponytail, the sleeves of her sweatshirt gathered around her forearms as she eats her lunch.
Next to her, our funny little friend. He's hamming it up for the kids further down the table. The fluffy hair atop his head shakes as he laughs and pops another Handy Manny fruit snack into his mouth.
To my right, oh, to my right. A very good looking young man. I'm not paying much attention to him, but I know he's there. His smooth, low voice melts in my ears. The feel of it is appealing enough, without any acknowledgement of what he's actually saying.
While the comedian's attention is diverted, I pluck his graphing calculator from atop his pile of books. Pressing the alphabet lock, I quickly type a secret message and restore the "math muncher" (as he has so cleverly dubbed it)'s front cover. As I place the calculator back on his books, the good looking one (with steamy eyes as dark as coffee) nods to me in approval. We exchange a glance, and resume conversation with our friends.
I wonder if you wonder the same things that I do. I wonder if you look at me sometimes and think, "this isn't right, what we're doing." Maybe you dismiss that thought because it's harmless, and it is. Isn't it?
Harmless because nothing's happened. Harmless because it doesn't change anything. It's just a different way of feeling. A way neither of us has learned to interpret.
Suppose something did happen. What then?
The air tonight is sweet and cool.
It reminds me of the nights last spring I'd drive around, listening to songs about the way life was. It's funny how things change so quickly, but you would swear you spent your whole life worrying about the things that never happen. Even funnier that the songs still fit, but for different reasons.
For whatever reason, I'm still feeling out of sorts.
