Men baldly going under knife thanks to Rooney
Posted: May 11, 2012|
DOZENS of men in Notts are following the lead of Wayne Rooney and having a hair transplant, according to an aesthetic clinic.
Mapperley Park Clinic, in Mansfield Road, has seen a 200 per cent rise in inquiries from men since Rooney's well-documented transplant last June.
Paul Stapleton, managing director of the clinic, said: "We've been doing it since 2006 but on a very low-key basis.
"Since Wayne Rooney had his, demand has increased radically.
"When you've got someone like him being open about it, people aren't as worried or embarrassed about it."
In the year before Rooney's transplant, the clinic performed ten hair transplant operations. It has since performed 25 in less than a year.
It expects demand to rise further and has forecast that it will perform 50 in the next year.
One of the clinic's recent patients is Andrew Icke, 38, who has been steadily losing his hair over the past ten years.
Eventually, he decided to forget about it and shave his head but his job as a hairdresser proved to be a constant reminder.
"I did get a lot of jokes about being a hairdresser and not having any hair," said Andrew, who owns Blends Barbers, in Stapleford.
After researching hair transplants for five years, Andrew bit the bullet in early April this year – and admits he was influenced by Rooney's transformation.
"When someone like him has the surgery, then I think it makes it more acceptable," he said.
The procedure was carried out by surgeon Harris Haseeb, who also works as a plastic surgeon at Nottingham City Hospital and has completed 700 hair transplants since 1996.
Andrew opted to go for a follicular unit transplant procedure, which involves a donor strip being taken from the back of the head and the hair follicles being extracted individually.
The strip is then stitched up and each follicle is grafted into tiny incisions made in the bald area.
The hair then falls out but the hair follicles remain and eventually grow as normal.
The procedure won't be a quick fix for Andrew, as he'll need to go back for a further operation if he wants to cover the whole area of baldness.
Mr Haseeb said: "It is a big area and that's why we can only do the front area.
"If we were to do the whole scalp, which includes the crown, the mid-scalp and the front, he would require 4,500 grafts.
"The problem is that we don't have enough donor hair in Andrew's case – there's only so much we can extract in one go. He can have more done later and that is the plan."
Andrew had his operation in April and is still at the stage where his transplanted hair is falling out but he's optimistic about the future.
He said: "Hopefully I'll spend the next six months growing it back and after that it will start to look just like a normal head of hair."

Conservation work at the White Cliffs of Dover
We care for 8km of the White Cliffs of Dover. The cliffs are not only a national landmark but also an important place for rare species of wildlife, including butterflies, birds and wildflowers.
The chalk downland or calcareous grassland that is found on the cliff tops is formed where the chalk eroded to form gently rolling hills. Here where the downland meets the sea, the chalk's face is exposed to form the famous White Cliffs.
A combination of shallow soils which are exposed to the wind and rain make it difficult for large plants to become established. In this harsh environment no single type of plant can dominate, instead, small clumps or patches of a wide variety of plants thrive together.
Historically, this chalk grassland was created by allowing animals to graze the cliff tops. This traditional form of agriculture created the landscape that we see today, however, modern farming techniques including the use of fertilizers, herbicides and even tractors, can easily destroy it.
Conservation grazing with Exmoor ponies
We have taken on the management of the land and now manage the landscape using Exmoor ponies to perform the traditional role of animals to encourage biodiversity and the species that grow here.
The short downland turf has been created by millennia of grazing, dating right back to the time of wild cattle and ponies that were here at the end of the last ice age.
We use ponies to graze wherever we can, however it is impossible or dangerous to do so in some places. There we use our volunteer ranger team to cut and collect the grass with machinery.

Family Camping Cookbook, by Tiff & Jim Easton

Your Reviews
"A good outdoor cookbook for families…"
I am a keen outdoor cook. Many years cooking on wood fires with the Guides, both as a Guide and Leader have honed this passion. Though others tastes are very traditional, I am quite happy to try some more unusual camp fare (but not seafood). When I received a copy of this book through netgalley I was keen to give it a go. Though I'm not camping until the end of September I couldn't resist lighting a fire up in the garden and giving a few of these recipes a go.
The recipes in this book are very much suited to campers or outdoor cooks, meals that are warming and hearty, full of flavour and will make other campers envious of the beautiful aromas.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — U.S. stock indexes fell the most in five months Monday, swept up in a rush out of gold, oil and other commodities, after reports from China showed the industrial giant's growth had cooled.
Soured sentiment built as the session wore on, exacerbated by a drop in a gauge of U.S. home builders' confidence. Some strategists said the pullback was expected after stock indexes notched records last week.
"The market is down because it's extended. It has been going up in the face of bad macro news," said Brian Belski, chief investment strategist at BMO Capital Markets. China was "a reality check," he said.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +0.20% ended near its lows of the day, down 265.86 points, or 1.8%, to 14,599.20. The S&P 500 index SPX, +0.07% sank 36.49 points, or 2.3%, to 1,552.36. The Nasdaq Composite COMP, +0.41% fell 78.46 points, or 2.4%, to 3,216.49.
As stocks fell, more investors piled in. Volume in New York Stock Exchange-listed stocks was 4.6 billion, the largest day in a month, and topping the year-to-date average of 3.5 billion. Total market volume was the largest this year, according to the Wall Street Journal's data group.
Adding to market participants' anxiety Monday afternoon were reports of explosions at the finish line of the Boston Marathon.
"It just throws another issue at Wall Street, creates an enormous amount of uncertainty," Hugh Johnson, chairman of Hugh Johnson Advisors, told MarketWatch Radio.
The day's selloff was the worst since Nov. 7, the day after the U.S. presidential election, when investors turned their fears to an impeding "fiscal cliff" of tax hikes and budget cuts.
The Monday rout was an abrupt pause in a rally that has seemed all but unstoppable. From the Cyprus bailout that risked breaking up the euro zone, to U.S. budget cutbacks, investors have repeatedly shown an interest in buying stocks on the dip. As a result, deep selloffs have often turned into mild retreats by day's end, causing some strategists to wonder if investors are getting too complacent — particularly given last week's disappointing data on U.S. retail sales.
Scott Redler, chief strategist for T3Live.com, said he's been watching to see whether stocks could hold on to recent gains after the S&P 500 hit an intraday record of 1,597 last week. "What is important after a breakout is measuring the validity of the breakout. If it fails to hold and turns into a bit of a trap, take notice," he wrote in emailed comments.
See: Citi sees S&P 500 overshooting to 1,675.
U.S. equity losses were an extension of a selloff that took place in Europe and Asia after China reported that its gross domestic product for the January-through-March quarter grew 7.7% from a year earlier, less than forecasts calling for growth of 8%, while industrial production in April slowed to 8.9%, the weakest in more than a year.
Gold was hit hard by that news. It ended Monday's session with a loss of more than $140, its worst one-day performance since the early 1980s. Other metals, notably silver, and oil also tumbled.

IMMA students enjoy their last day after their recitals
IMMA students enjoy their last day after their recitals
IMMA's Students have made it to the end of the academic year 2014-2015.One last and very demanding tradition to fulfill: The end of year Recitals for our leaving students, in front of all their teachers and fellow students. To show what they have achieved in their 3 or 4 years with us. Best way to describe it, the title of the Berner Oberländer article after their Interlaken Classics concert: 'Junge Virtuosen auf dem weg zur Meistershaft'. Bravo to all!!
Highlight of highlights: IMMA's closing concert at the Saanen Church. Exceptional program, exceptional reception by an enchanted public. Maxim and the IMMA Camerata performed a spectacular programme of:
Bach – Concerto for two violins
Vivaldi – Concerto for four violins
Bruch – Kol Nidrei – performed by cellist Pablo de Naverán
Meditation – Thais
Ravel – Tzigane
Sarasate – Navarra for two violins
Tchaikovsky – serenade for strings – conducted by Maxim Vengerov
This year's 'Rencontres Musicales Internationales', sponsored by the Patiño Foundation, took place in Gstaad from 24th to 30th July. This was an emotional return to our roots and original home and the promise of many more activities in the Saanenland in the future.
Marvelous news for IMMA and for David Guéran! He auditioned for the job of 'Chef d'attaque des seconds violons' of the Orchestre Symphonique de Lucerne, and, among fierce competition, was given the job! He will start in September! A tribute to his hard work, his prize winning competitions in Lugano, Salzburg and London, and his 4 years with IMMA where he often lead the 'Menuhin Academy Soloists' orchestra alongside Maxim and Oleg. Bravo David, you made all of us proud at IMMA!!
IMMA returns to its roots, in Gstaad, for its 2015 'Rencontres Musicales Internationales'. Closing concert on 29th July with our Maestro, Maxim Vengerov, at the Saanen Church.

A doctor made it his regular habit to stop off at a bar for a hazelnut daiquiri on his way home. The bartender knew of his habit, and would always have the drink waiting at precisely 5:03 p.m. One afternoon, as the end of the work day approached, the bartender was dismayed to find that he was out of hazelnut extract. Thinking quickly, he threw together a daiquiri made with hickory nuts and set it on the bar. The doctor came in at his regular time, took one sip of the drink and exclaimed, "This isn't a hazelnut daiquiri!" "No, I'm sorry, "replied the bartender, "it's a hickory daiquiri, Doc."

There were two strangers sitting in a bar, one says to the other. "Psst, wanna see somethin'?" The other man shrugged and agreed. The first man pointed to an object covered by a cloth. "Look under that cloth but DO NOT take it off. So the man walks over to the object that is quite large and peeks under it. However, when he saw what was under it he screamed and accidentally pulled the cloth off. It was a one eyed purple monster! The man was so scared he took off in his car. The monster was hot on his trail. He drove to the airport and on the plane he felt safe but he looked into the ocean and the monster was swimming after him to Africa! When he got there he ran off the plane without his luggage. He couldn't run anymore and the monster was coming closer. He could feel it's hot breath. He stopped and the monsters big hand reached down. The man knew this was his last day when he heard in a growling voice as an impact hit him, YOUR IT! And the monster ran away.

Guy going home from the pub is stopped at a police checkpoint. A bobby comes over and tells the driver to roll down his window. When he does, the copper is almost knocked over with the smell of alcohol. So he asks: "Have you been drinking, suuur?" (as English cops are wont to say). "Yes", replies the driver. "What did you have exactly, suuuur"? "Well, about seven or eight pints of Guinness, a couple of whiskies, and then one or two night caps in the form of double brandies". The copper pulls out his breathalyzer and says, "Would you mind blowing into this, suuur"? To which the drunk dude retorts: "What for? Do you not believe me?"

The Dagger and the Coin - SPOILER THREAD
Posted 21 April 2011 - 04:59 PM
Posted 21 April 2011 - 05:03 PM
I genuinely want Geder to be the Dark Lord that we all kinda like. It would suck if he turned out to be the hero.
Considering that Abraham has said that for this series he's blatantly ripped off ideas that he likes from elsewhere, I think that it's likely Geder will be an Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader sort. He'll fall to the dark side and eventually do something redeeming, though probably not such that we would call him a hero.
Posted 21 April 2011 - 06:34 PM
I have to be honest I found the prospect of Cithrin setting up the Medean bank less than believable and the response of the bank to the fact that she had taken all their wealth and actually preserved it, bizzare.
I sort of agree with you about I think that the banks response was okay. They wanted to focus their operations in a different area(whatever their game is up north) so it made a lot of sense for them to liquidate the branch. That said, they could have been nicer about it.
I totally think some bias is at play when it comes to the "higher races" the author clearly has a similar view as Dawson but on the opposite side. That said, it will be interesting to learn what actual advantages they have over other people and if the idea of the "higher races" is common. Also I'm calling it now, those snow giant people(the water phobic ones) are going to come into play in a big way, as pointed out earlier in this thread this is going to be an "end of civilization" type series. Its just to perfect to have a rampaging barbarian horde and not use it.
It's interesting that according to the glossary of races, which is of course a document with a definite viewpoint, we haven't met any of the "Higher Races" yet, have we? And we are told there is a race that but for their dislike of water would sweep the world and probably but an end to all the other races.
Posted 21 April 2011 - 07:42 PM
Just a quick thought while I remember, some comparisons to be made to Bakker's work here- a priest from an ancient hidden sect with the power to make people believe and to read their truth and lies, and a series definitely heading the apocalyptic route...
Whereas Abraham's prose writing was the outstanding feature of Long Price for me (don't get me wrong, the rest was great, but that's what really hooked me), the characters in this are what stand out majorly, as seems to be the common thread here... they were very good in Long Price, of course, but given the extra room to breathe, Abraham's really brought home the bacon here.
Especially in the Dagger; Geder, as has been heavily discussed, is one of the most interesting characters of recent years- his initial motivations of frustration and resentment are I'm sure familiar to everyone, which makes his lurches into villainy all the more horrifying. He's basically a four-year-old emotionally, and without a moral filter. Also interesting to find a major character- good or bad- that weak-willed and dim.
Dawson on the other hand is a more complex riddle - a loving family man and loyal friend who's also a bigot and self-righteous in his convictions to the point of alienating even his allies. I greatly enjoyed reading that perspective, especially the insights into the other side being equally fragmented- Maas was a bastard, but Issandrian seems moved by genuine concern and Maas' wife was just undeserving of what happened.
The Coin is perhaps less interesting; Cithrin and Marcus are much more definitely setting up future stuff, and while there are hints at more compelling edges to their characters- Marcus' dark past, and the fact that he almost left Cithrin alone, Cithrin's reckless edge that has as yet not quite resulted in catastrophe, and her uncertainty about love and sex- in this book they're much closer to the fantasy norm. Still they're in no way bad and I definitely enjoyed reading about them. I wonder if we'll get more of Kit now that his enemies are out in the world.
If there's a real weakness for me it's the worldbuilding- I love a rich world to sink into and while what's there is good, it's kind of sketchy.
I do love the idea of the Dragon Roads arching over hills that are no longer there and that, though.
In terms of future speculation; presuming that Coe survives (and I suspect so), there's defo going to be summat between him and Dawson's wife. Too much built up of his feelings for her to not. I can see her being more and more against her husband as things go on- she loves him but clearly doesn't agree with some of his ways.
The subversion of trad-fantasy cliche is nothing unusual these days, but the way this is done stands out; it's more subtle than just killing the non-traditional people or making the main character or other key roles not the nice guys they 'should' be.

I was interested in the religion of the world - there doesn't really seem to be much. There's the spider goddess and temple, obviously, there's the abandoned temple in Camnipol, and Marcus's disparaging remarks about Yardem being religious. Other than that, almost nothing, which is strange. Lerer seemed a bit iffy about Geder setting up a new temple but really didn't seem like a big deal.

This was a background question for me as well, because the religion of a fantasy world (when it's a well-thought out world, which I certainly expect from Abraham, who is currently one of my very favorite authors, etc., etc.) tells you a lot about social structure, but as fantasy novels tend to have religions that can actually get things done, it tells you a lot about the metaphysics of that world, too.
Marcus uses 'God' occasionally as a background word, as do Geder and Cithrin both, which seems to indicate some background monotheism. For instance, Cithrin thinks "So perhaps Besel was right. God knew the man seemed sure of himself. But then, he always did." One of Geder's speculative essays (which I loved, in their late medieval/early Renaissance feel) mentions an abstract, speculative God. So maybe some kind of loose deism is common, against which the provable results of the (very scary) spider goddess might be very persuasive.

Thinking about it, does anyone else reckon that there'll be a time-jump between this book in the next? I doubt as much as the Long Price ones, but the place it ended, I reckon a logical place to pick it up would be after the Prince has been with Geder for a year or so and Cithrin has settled into the new thing a bit.
Judging from Marcus's sample chapter of the next book, I'd say yes - it seemed to be a jump of a few months to a few years. Nothing too major.

I really liked the characters. Every one of them, with a preference for the apostate turned actor. Cithrin was a bit boring, especially when she developed a taste for alcohol and when she decided what was "women's natural weapon".
What I hope for in the next book:
.Kit will get a significant role.
.Marcus will stop accepting shit from Cithrin.
.Clara will have a hot affair with Vincen Coe. They both deserve it.
.Dawson will have his World views shattered.

I've read this thread and was a bit surprised by some of the comments on Geber. I mean he is a mass murderer, how could he not be a bad guy??? And I don't see any redeeming future for him, I think he'll keep on feeling sorry for himself and doing the most despicable things. I can't even imagine the harm he'll do now he's introduced to the court his scary religious friend. Poor Prince Aster is likely to be their first brainwashed victim.
History is full of mass murderers who also did great things and did overall much good (sometimes unintentionally), despite the thousands or hundred of thousands of dead in their wake. It's not always that easy. Napoleon, Atatürk, Alexander the Great, Churchill, all people involved in the US occupation of the Philippines, Ghengis Khan to name a few (not that Geder can be compared to any of them).

Yes, history has a tendency to forget the victims when it comes to the deeds of "great men".
History is full of mass murderers who also did great things and did overall much good (sometimes unintentionally), despite the thousands or hundred of thousands of dead in their wake. It's not always that easy.
With Geber we've seen a mass murderer in the making. We can reflect on how easy it was for him to go from bullied and ridiculed to despicable and evil. All he needed was to happen to be at the right place at the right time. Dawson and his son were stupid enough to underestimate him, whenever they thought they could use him they simply gave him the means to gain more power. Power is dangerous in the hands of a person whose every act is done for spite, revenge and ambition.
Posted 29 April 2011 - 03:13 PM
Geder was interesting but he didn't really grip me like he seemed to a lot of you. I found Dawson more fascinating, we're all secret conservatives to one degree or another. Certainly the "bad" povs were more fun to read about than the two "good" ones.
The thing that intrigued me most was the character of Issandrian. I'm sure he's got to be sincere about working in the interests of Antea and just a victim of circumstances. His faction had to be just as alarmed at Geder's Vanai army camped outside the gates as Dawson was at the circus mercenaries.

It must be so nerve-racking to be in the market for a new home if you've never bought before, how on earth do you know what pitfalls to avoid? I was inspired by a kind of 1930's detective notebook style and retro typewriter font to create a check list handy to refer back to while house hunting!

The move will allow an extra 10,000 fans to see the games, which Bristol head coach Richard Hill believes will be of huge benefit to his side.
"Playing at Ashton Gate is no problem and I expect it to make these two fixtures even bigger than they would have been at The Mem," said Hill.
"Last year, our fans were magnificent in the early-season win against Bath - packing more Bristol fans into Ashton Gate will raise the temperature a few degrees more for our neighbours.
"I expect them to lift us in the same way for the Tigers game too."
Bristol set a then-Premiership attendance record at Ashton Gate, home of football neighbours Bristol City, for their 30-20 victory over Bath in May 2003.

In a segment Jerry Recco aptly dubbed 'The Boomer & Carton Quote of the Absurd,' we heard Yankees outfielder Ichiro Suzuki talk about his teammate Alex Rodriguez taking the role of a pinch-hitter.
Then Boomer and Craig discussed further the Richard Neer line of thinking: ground-up testicles could act as a performance enhancer if properly handled and prepared.

The tooth paste is pain free and it works extremely well. My teeth has become noticeably whiter. I believe this is the best stain removing tooth paste. It really keeps our mouth fresh. I would highly recommend this product.
This is the only toothpaste I will use. My dental hygienist recommended it, and I've been using it ever since. Tastes really fresh strength cleaning and whiter, makes mouth feel Clean gently and effectively.
I've been using Crest 3D Whitening Rinse and I have to say, compared to that, Lavoris tastes dreadful! But- it seems to whiten up a bit. So, I picked up a bottle for $1.00. No big loss. It just tastes awful, in my opinion.
I have been using mentadent toothpaste for years. i cannot find in any store near me anymore. CVS doesn't carry it. Neither does Wal Mart. I wish I could find it in a tube. It is inconvient to take with you in the pump. it is the best toothpaste I've ever used. I will order from here after I try one more time to purchase it in a store. I don't care to have to pay shipping.

The La Monte FCCLA (Family, Career, and Community Leaders of America) participated in the Team Spirit Reunion in Jefferson City March 4-5 where they were named the Team of the Year by the Missouri Department of Transportation and received a proclamation from the governor recognizing their efforts to save lives and prevent traffic injuries in their school and community.
The members presenting the project were Emily Blackburn, Brittany Green and Savannah Perez. Jolee VanBooven also attended the Reunion. The other members of the FCCLA chapter helped with the monthly activities.
The La Monte FCCLA worked hard this year promoting traffic safety in their community. Some of the activities included: painting "Buckle Up" logos on the streets near the school; planning a Traffic Safety Awareness Day for the school which consisted of a mock accident, Highway Patrol presentation, a presentation from Kaylie of THINK First, a Quick Click challenge in the parking lot, testing and driving scenarios, an assembly given by the FCCLA members, and a pledge banner for the students to sign stating that they would not text and drive; surprise seat belt checks, safety habits survey, texting and driving bulletin boards and candy notes about safe driving in February and March with plans for more in April near prom.
Team Spirit is a statewide program sponsored by MoDOT 's Safety Division committed to developing natural leadership skills in teens. The Cape Girardeau Safe Communities staff co-coordinates the training , which challenges students to explore knowledge, attitudes and behaviors related to driving habits among their peers.
After an initial training session in the summer, Team Spirit teams create and implement action plans addressing underage drinking, drinking and driving, driver inattention, and promoting seat belt use through activities implemented with their schools and communities. The one and a half day Reunion provides the teams the opportunity to share ideas with other teams and to gain knowledge.
"Fatal crashed can and do happen to teens every day," said Leanna Depue, Director of the Highway Safety Office for MoDOT. "By working together, Team Spirit members create positive changes within their schools and communities." Team Spirit is available to all communities in Missouri.

Rated 3.6 out of 5 by 9 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by MelanieD Fantastic velvet jacket I am a size 12 and usually buy a 14 in jackets. I first ordered an extra large, then a large, which was still enormous on me! I am 5'9" and weigh 160. The medium I now have is perfection--chic, impossible to wrinkle, and so easy to wear. If you travel (even if you don't) I highly recommend purchasing this jacket. It's long enough to wear over a dress and looks darling with jeans as well. Kudos, TravelSmith! March 4, 2015
Rated 2 out of 5 by jujones Disappointing Purchase I've returned this jacket and am awaiting a refund; it's well cut, fitting very well, but the material is awful - cheap looking, shiny. If it could be made with better material, I'd try again, because, as I've said, it appears to be well made and fits nicely, true to size. March 25, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Buyer2306 Velvet Duster The duster runs big and I am requesting an exchange. February 18, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by FlyingPixie A Very Useful Garment! Although the construction and fabric of this garment are average, the design and styling are exceptional. This jacket doubles as a ladies' smoking jacket or tuxedo for dressy outings, over jeans for fun dinner out, or throw over your pjs when running out to the ice machine. A fancier fabric may not survive the abuse that this travel workhorse can take while looking elegant. December 17, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by suziequeue Love it! Wish I'd ordered sooner. I thought about this all last season but never justified the purchase. So glad I finally ordered it. Love the lightweight material and slight stretchiness; love the length of the jacket and the sleeves, which are often too short. I am tempted to add some bling trim to this one and order another one for basic black. November 2, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by JD25 Fabric is cheap Returned immediately. Was very disappointed in this fabric. It is kind of like a velvet plush you would see on a stuffed toy. I should have paid better attention to the reviews. I expected a better velvet for this price. Very baggy in chest are as well. Not what I expected. October 6, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by stanley she loves is I ordered this for a friend, who was looking for something dressy but packable for her new career. She loved it, and I ended up ordering a second in the same sizeso she would have a spare. Beautiful coat. April 21, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Cooper45 All Around Lightweight Coat This velvet coat is perfect for Southern California. I will get a lot of use out of it. November 26, 2013

Dr. Namir F. Damluji's Ratings
Dr. Damluji is beyond words. He truly cares, does not label, does not make you feel "crazy" or disturbed, deals with what is happening now not years ago, is affirming. His knowledge medication-wise is out of this world, carefully titrating everything and the following up to hear the results or effects of the medication. He is not a pill pusher, but truly knows vitamins and supplements, and it is as if he is balancing deficiencies without prescriptions. He is one in a million and I truly am blessed to have him in my life. He has made an incredible difference!I am blessed to be able to have the money to pay out of pocket and he is worth ten times what he charges. I would fly wherever he was because of my confidence, trust, and belief in him.

This phenomenal doctor is what medicine is all about. Other psychiatrists should take courses from him. He is Not a pill pusher, but when pills are needed he titrates the medicine just perfectly. He also communicates with the family physician and others and keeps everyone in the loop. God has blessed me with this doctor, and even though he doesn't take medicare or my insurance, I will pay out of pocket to get such good care. Worth every minute he takes with you--and it is longer than other doctors.

Dr. D is awesome, he has helped me and my husband (as well as other family members). He is kind, listens, remembers what you tell him, even if you dont see him for a long time. He is the best doctor, I would highly recommend him. He understands, helps you, really cares, seems more like a family friend than a doctor. I wish i could say in words how much he has truly helped my life and my marriage. (my husband and I both have ADD off the charts as well as my husband suffers from depression). Dr. D has gone above and beyond when we had a family tragedy, and puts his patients first. My insurance doesn't cover Dr. D, but I pay out of pocket to keep seeing him, it is well worth it. Absolutely the best.

Hands down the best doctor in Southern California. He is wonderful, returns phone calls, takes notes in detail while you are speaking to him. Listens and understands what you tell him. He genuinely cares about you and remembers everything that you have told him from your past appointments. Very well known in the community and highly refered by other doctors. You must see him no matter what the cost. He is a sanity saver.

Dr. Damluji is beyond compare. He is sensitive, helpful and extremely patient and professional. He is a doctor with insight and compassion. I believe he truly cares about his patients' well-being and overall happiness and enjoyment of life. He's been in 'the business' for over 20 years has incredible knowledge, he isn't one to 'label' patients and he encourages patients to be an active participant in their own health.

Patrick Beilein, Bradley's director of basketball operations, was officially named head men's basketball coach at West Virginia Wesleyan on Monday.
The 29-year-old son of Michigan head coach John Beilein will be formally introduced to the NCAA Division II school's campus and community of Buckhannon at a news conference June 5.
The Bobcats return two starters from a 22-9 team that reached the second round of the D-II tournament last season.
"It's a beautiful campus and a great academic school," the younger Beilein said. "Their basketball team has been to the NCAAs the last two years so there's a good foundation of good players there. It's my job to keep building on that foundation and make NCAA appearances a consistent thing for West Virginia Wesleyan."
Beilein played college basketball for his father at West Virginia University, scoring 1,001 points and helping the Mountaineers reach the Elite 8 and the Sweet 16.
Beilein spent just one season as the Braves' DBO, coming here last May after one season as an assistant at Dartmouth and two years on his dad's staff at Michigan as a graduate assistant.
"We're really happy for Pat and very appreciative of the hard work he did in helping us lay the foundation in Year 1 of our process," said BU coach Geno Ford. "He was a big key in us doing that. We'll certainly miss him. At the same time it's a great opportunity for him to be a head coach."
Beilein said his year at Bradley taught him how to get organized as a coach and how to deal with all the behind-the-scenes aspects of a program such as team travel, equipment management, video editing and exchange and working with a budget.
"I think my experience at Bradley really did help me land this job," he said. "Division II coaches are their own directors of operations. So learning all those things was huge. Geno's the best. I'm glad he brought me on. I know he'll get everything turned around here."
Beilein can have either one full-time assistant coach or two part-time aides at Wesleyan. He has already made an offer to Manual assistant Dave Williams to join him, but doesn't know yet how his staff will be structured.
He's also planning to install an offensive style similar to his father's two-guard system at Michigan.
"I'll be my own coach, but I'm sure I'll call my dad," he said.

Versatile, comfortable, but a little cheaply made for the price
This sandals are great for work and going out. I am on my feet at work all day and they never hurt when i wear these shoes. I usually wear shoes that are between 7.5-8. When I got these in an 8 my toes were right up to the edge. I tired on an 8.5 but instead of getting longer they just got wider, with my toes still on the edge. I kept my 8s. My only major complaint with these shoes is that for the price (50 bucks) they are a little flimsy. I have worn them about 10 times and have already noticed signs of wear that I wouldn't usually associate with new shoes.

As DWF said, there's a big difference between being bitter, and just being an actor who's hoping to keep working for another 20 or 30 years, but is worried that typecasting from a big success might get in the way of that. It's also a pretty common thing for stars to relax about talking about their earlier big success once they hit the age when 'normal people' would be retiring anyway (and they realise that being remembered for anything after that long is still a massive achievement): forget about Who, look at Honor Blackman, Leslie Phillips, and so many more.
It probably helps that this tends to be around the point when youngsters who grew up idolizing them become prominent enough in the business to start offering them work...
How many people really remember Honor Blackman for her role in Doctor Who though? Took me a few minutes to remember she did Terror of The Vervoids.
Now if you mention Pussy Galore but she wouldn't have the role if weren't for Cathy Gale in the Avengers.
Or have I just illustrated your point?
Actually, I was referring to the way during the 70s and 80s Honor Blackman would chill up on chat shows if the host tried to talk about The Avengers and Bond. She started loosing up in the 90s, once into her late 60s. Vervoids is just one role she did during the time when she was trying to shake off the Avengers image.

Hello everyone, this is my 2nd dumb question of the day. I have a question about variable aperture lenses, specifically a (cheap) Tamron 70-210mm F4-5.6 which came with the Nikon FM2 I just bought. I have only ever used primes and I am not sure how variable aperture works in terms of using an external meter.
So with this lens zoomed to 210mm the largest effective aperture is F5.6. This is presumably the amount of light which is let in when the lens aperture is set to F4 on the aperture ring.
However, if I set the lens aperture to F5.6 on the ring and then zoom to 210mm there is clearly less light coming in than when zoomed to 210mm and set to F4. This is clear when looking through the lens and is confirmed by the camera's TTL meter. So would the effective aperture actually be F8 with the lens at 210mm and the aperture ring at 5.6? Do I have to compensate a whole stop throughout the entire range of the lens?
If using TTL metering then this obviously isn't a problem, but I use an external meter so I need to know what the actual effective aperture is. Also, how do I tell at what point in the lens's zoom range the aperture switches from F4 to F5.6?
Any advice is appreciated!

Advanced recurring dates
I need to setup a recurring task starting June 18th and repeats every three months. The next date it needs to recur would be September 18th. The program set it to recur in 90 days which falls on September 16th.
Is there a way to setup the task so it falls on the 18th every 3 months?
All responses
Hi Jim,
Unfortunately, this isn't exactly possible right now. It always treats a month as a 30 day period. We will certainly consider fixing this problem in future updates, but for now to make sure your tasks are scheduled correctly, we advise to create different tasks:
- the first one due "every 18 June",
- the second one due "every 18 September"
and so forth.
You can use the same name for all tasks.
Hi Brendon,
I have 12 recurring tasks that recur indefinitely. Creating different tasks would not be practical. For now I will create it with a simple due date and edit when it comes due.
As a freelance web developer there are many tasks that require my attention on a monthly basis that recur indefinitely. The ability to set to an exact date would be a big plus for me.
I've evaluated all the other programs out there in this class, and Todoist has all the features I'm looking for including the biggest, which is ease of use. Adding this last feature would secure it in my freelance toolbox.
Hello Jim,
Please note that if the task recurs every month, then you can indeed just set it to repeat on a specific day, for example "every 15" and it will not change regardless of the amount of days the month has.
Regarding creating 4 tasks - if you would do this, you would only see 4 tasks within the project, but on your daily or weekly task views, you would only see the one upcoming event, let's say the task due "every 18 Jun", you check it off and then as the time comes, you'd see the task due "every 18 September".
Best regards,
Hi David,
Thanks for the tip on monthly tasks. I still have tasks that recur every three and six months. These tasks recur indefinitely so I would need to create 4 for each year in the future. So for those I will still need the ability to set the task to an exact date. Correct?
I would pay more for the premium service just to have that ability.
I now see where you are going with this. The 4 tasks would continue to recur year after year. Had to wrap my head around that one.
You don't have to create 4 tasks for each yer, but 4 tasks for each "task".
For example, let's say you have one task "Send status report" that should be completed on 1 Jan, 1 Apr, 1 Jul and 1 Oct, that is - every 3 months. You can break this one task down to 4:
"Send status report" due "every 1 Jan"
"Send status report" due "every 1 Apr"
"Send status report" due "every 1 Jul"
"Send status report" due "every 1 Oct"
Each of these 4 tasks would recur indefinitely. You would see these 4 tasks within the project, however, if it's 26 Jun and you look at your "7 days" list, you would just see the task due on 1 Jul. If you check it off, this one task would go to 1 Jul 2014, however if you'll check your 7 days list by the end of September, you would see the one due "every 1 Oct". You check this one off, it goes to 1 Oct 2014 and so on.
Therefore, looking at the date-based schedule, it would look as if it's one task due every 3 months recurring indefinitely (even through these are 4 tasks, each recurring annually).
Best regards,
Yes, sorry I didn't see your latest reply, but yes - these would be 4 annually recurring tasks, but they would make the impression of being 1 quarterly recurring task.
Best regards,
Roger that. I'm setting up a test run right now.
Thanks for the info, great help. This is a good workaround. I will still have to create 48 of them, as I have 12 clients that I bill on a 3 and 6 month basis.
No big deal.
No worries. Your last explanation went into greater detail and I will save it for later review.
Thanks for all your help.
One more future request - Reminders that go back by day, so I could set the reminder to 15 days or two weeks.
No need to reply back.
To quickly create these tasks, you can create 4, export them as a template and then re-import for each client as shown in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Rl_CLGY_3o
Reminders can be set to any day or time you want. There are 2 types of reminders:
- Relative - they require that the task has a due time which they can relate to. Right-click on such task, go to "Reminders" and set the relative reminder to 1 day before or 1 week before etc.
- Absolute - those don't require a due time or even a due date for the task. Right-click on a task, got to "Reminders", choose "Absolute time" and you can set the reminder using any due date Todoist supports incl. recurring dates.
Note - absolute reminders can be added even while you're adding the task if you use this syntax (for example):
Send status report <remind ev 15 Jan at 2pm>
In the "Reminders" box, you can of course set multiple reminders of different types to any task so according to the previous 4-task example, each of these tasks could have multiple reminders such as:
- ev 20 Jun at 2pm
- ev 30 Jun at 10:20
Best regards,
That works for me. Thanks for that post. That will definitely speed up the process.
I am trying to have a recurring event that recurs every 4th Tuesday in any given month but it seems I cannot do this. This would be in-line with Outlook behaviour which is what I am trying to track against. (Every 4th Thursday in every month I have a meeting I need to prepare from over Tuesday / Wednesday...) Am I right this doesn't work at present, and if not, please can this be implemented?
Many thanks,
Hello Tom,
Such date is fully supported and should work. The correct formula for it is: "every 4th Tuesday" or "ev 4th Tue".
Best regards,
Has this issue where "It always treats a month as a 30 day period" been fixed yet?
It seems strange that "every 2 months starting 28 April" would not just be 28 June, 28 August etc and that it would instead go 28 April + 60 = 27 June then + 60 = 26 August.
I get there is a workaround where I create six tasks, but it seems like such a simple fix to make :) Cheers, Glen
Hi Glen,
The issue with how "every month" is treating has not been changed. The truth is it is not on the top of our to-do list, but we do hope to improve it in at some point.
Is there a way to set a due date for a task relative to the due date of another task?
Such as making a template where task 2 is also due 2 weeks after task 1? I would like task 2 to be conditional on task 1 so if i ever change the date of task 1 then task 2 will automatically update. Is this possible?
thank you!
Hi Nick,
That is not currently possible right now. Feel free to add it in the votebox https://todoist.com/Vote/ as a feature suggestion.
You only have yearly plans, yet you have simple bugs open for more than six months? I really like todoist and I was really enjoying the trial, despite a few bugs that directly affected me, but after this one, I'm really giving up on you. There's no way I'll commit for a year counting on you to fix bugs that affect me, and six months from now realize I did a mistake.

Beef cattle have gotten bigger and bigger due to drugs including Zilmax, which is made by Intervet, a subsidiary of Merck. The average steer sent to a packing plant now weighs 1,300 pounds; in 1975, their average weight was 1,000 pounds. As an April 15th article in the Chronicle of Higher Education reports, a number of animal scientists at public universities help, and are paid by, pharmaceutical companies to advise and persuade farmers and ranches to use Zilmax, antibiotics, hormones and other drugs. The animal scientists and the companies have profited handsomely, even while the effects of these drugs on animals, and on humans, are unknown.
A 2005 survey found that more than two-thirds of animal scientists said they had received money from the industry in the past five years. The money comes not only in the form of research grants that, more and more, pay for "overhead and administrative costs," but in payments to animal science professors in the form of fees as consultants and speakers.
As the Chronicle of Higher Education notes, while administrators at medical schools around the U.S. have "recently tightened rules to better police their faculty's ties to pharmaceutical companies," schools of agriculture have discounted and even rejected criticism about their too-close ties to pharmaceutical companies.
Zilmax could possibly turn the tide. The drug (which Intervet was charging $8,300 per 10-kilogram bag in January) makes cattle so bulked up that the quality of the beef from them has dramatically declined. It is further evidence that animal scientists advocating for the use of such drugs are more in sync with pharmaceutical companies than with farmers, ranchers and their animals:
Meat from the most pharmaceutically enhanced cattle (especially those given Zilmax)can be so tough that some packing plants are refusing to buy cattle fed the drug. Some cattlemen and beef-industry executives have also begun to speak out. They warn that continued use of the drug may make ranchers' herds difficult to sell, and end up hurting the image of American beef….
Cargill won't buy cattle that it knows have been fed zilpaterol, he said, using the drug's generic name. Cargill's view is that an overly aggressive focus on growth "can have an impact on the consumer attributes of size, quality, and tenderness," he said. "So we need to find a balance. The message there is that we ask you to be careful."
Paul Heinrich, an executive of Sysco, the global food distributor, has offered similar criticism about the "Frankenbeef" from cattle on Zilmax; butchers struggle to cut up extra-large carcasses.

The drugs they give to the cattle end up in our digestive system! This is why I have reduced my meat intake to about 1/4th or less of what it used to be. I grew up in a "meat and potatoes" home. Now my home is a veggies home and the only time I know I will be eating meat is at family gatherings over the holidays. It keeps the peace with my 90 year old mother as she still cooks!

Yeah, I know, Colleen........and the same people who scream about cows being given drugs to muscle up or breed bigger calves (selective breeding) will go out and buy a designer dog because they think it's cute, or they'll breed their own mutt to whatever without a thought to the results. A hairier dog, smaller dog (Chihuahuas), a taller dog, a "longer" dog (with Doxies), a meaner dog, an uglier dog or whatever is in "fad" is all they care about.
Got a couple of chicks from my daughter to keep and raise as pets.
Went to the pet shop to buy food for them and was told I should get some Tetracycline to add to their water for a week or two!
Are they kidding me? That's an antibiotic - to give to perfectly healthy chicks????
Drug company corruption - it's everywhere!
That is very nasty to mess around with animal genetics; leave things alone. Please consider going vegetarian in response to all the genetic engineering and drugs fed to animals. Disgusting!
Of course growth hormones are a factor, but so is selective breeding and better conditions under which the most "prime" breeding prospects are kept. Humans are bigger than they were centuries ago, or even decades ago. As a long time horse owner, I know that my breed of choice is now much taller than their ancestors were. It's from better feed, less harsh environment and better vet care. The biggest, most "fit" animals are kept for breeding, so it only makes sense that eventually, the offspring of those animals will result in being bigger, themselves.
Happy to be a vegetarian.
This abusive to animal and human If you get a disease and the only treatment is antibiotics good luck!!!
Thanks for the information.
