I am pretty new to using a hand plane, but I am completely addicted to the process. I love making shavings. Last weekend I was flattening a board and found that the board moved around a bit. So I decided to make a jig. I just finished and it really holds the boards tightly.
The design allows for me to plane a board up to 13 1/3 inches wide. It will also handle very thin pieces. The jig is really over engineered, but that is just my nature. I included two rare earth magnets, just to hold the boomerang and wedge, when not in use.
For more details about how I put it together, I blogged about the process over the last 3 days.
Day 1) Design: http://extremelyaverage.com/2010/06/planing-jig-design/
Day 2) Start: http://extremelyaverage.com/2010/06/the-gang-says-hi/ Note: The most entertaining of the 3 blog pieces. :-)
Day 3) Finish: http://extremelyaverage.com/2010/06/a-marvelous-jig/
Thanks for stopping in and checking out my jig.

I hand plane a lot and enjoy the process too. Sometimes I have a problem with a board bowing a bit in the middle when I hold it in place between vice and dogs. I finally learned to take all compression off before checking for flatness and twist. Looks like your design avoids the problem in the first place. Thanks for sharing the information. -- There's no such thing as mistakes, just design changes. |

Cool jig, looks like it could be adjusted really fast. -- If all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail! |
#14 posted 06-10-2010 07:37 PM |
Rex, Yes, it is easy to adjust. I tap the wedge in with my mallet and it really holds well. Then a simple tap on the wood, in the opposite direciton and it pops out easily. Brian -- Brian Meeks, http://extremelyaverage.com |
#15 posted 06-10-2010 08:24 PM |
i like this. i use a full scale planing wedge, and its a little annoying to set up. the boomerang piece here is an innovation that makes things much more compact. |

Copy file from "fix" to /dev_hdd0/home/00000001/exdata/ (The folder '00000001' is your user profile id.)
If you have only one profile - that is the only folder you'll see under /home/ folder. In case you have multiple profiles, copy the *.edat file to the one that you will be playing the game from. If the folder 'exdata' is not present that means you've never been logged to PSN - create it manually and put fixed file/files in it.
PS. Some of this new games don't work on 3.41.
You'll get a heartattack, prophet my dear. You know some guys are more resourceful then others. If answered, next time he will know what to do.
12-29-2011 #763
i have 3.55
12-29-2011 #764
In case you have multiple profiles, copy the *.edat file to the one that you will be playing the game from.
So what do you do if you have two users me and me son? Make 2 folders for ps3 that never was online? And copy it into edat into both?

I'm very sorry to say that people are struggling to make this game work. It was posted with all other games as working.
PS. Best to make 1 folder for ps3 and play games thru that user. But possible to make 2 or more.

I've noticed there is a new fix for Lara Croft. Is it a new fix or the same old one that I had trouble working?
12-29-2011 #767
There is no .PKG fix for Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light because there is no need for one. The game is already 3.55 FW (or less) therefore it only needs the .edat file which makes your console think you purchased the game so you can play it.

And it depends on the size i would say. Is it logical to gen and upload a .pkg with 40MB up to 400mb for some games only for one single file that is in size of a few kb or just a few mb?
I'll say no

For more than 25 years, Search Associates has helped over 32,000 primary and secondary administrators, teachers, counselors, librarians, and interns find exciting positions in international schools around the world. In 2014-2015, we set a record by helping 3,142 candidates secure positions abroad, making us by far the most successful international school recruitment organization. We believe that our success stems from the decentralized nature of our organization, which permits us to give personal attention and support to both candidates and schools.
Search Associates was founded in 1990 by John F. Magagna, an experienced teacher and school head in independent schools in both the U.S. and abroad. After spending seven years as the Headmaster of Jakarta International School in Indonesia, John Magagna returned to the U.S. and started Search Associates. Co-founders John Sly and Dexter Lewis later joined him. Today, Search Associates has grown to include 19 Senior Associates with offices around the globe, each bringing a wealth of experience in international education.
Although our size is impressive, it is our highly personalized approach to schools and candidates that we wish to emphasize. We strive to maintain high standards by providing timely and accurate information, treating everyone fairly and honestly, and exceeding candidate and school expectations in every respect. We accomplish this through hard work and commitment, and by remaining focused and responsive.
We ensure that we can provide personal attention to our candidates by assigning each candidate to a specific Associate, based on their geographical location or on the job fair they wish to attend. This system allows candidates to have access to their own Associate who will personally assist them throughout the entire search process. In a similar manner, schools can easily contact any of our Senior Associates to gain more information about candidates of interest or to request assistance with a specific hiring need.
To coordinate the efforts of our Associates and ensure we all stay focused on our company's goals, Search Associates is managed by an Executive Committee, comprising two Senior Associates, Jessica Magagna and David Cope. Executive Committee members continually seek to improve Search Associates in order to better serve our candidates and our schools.
Throughout this website there is detailed information that will assist both schools and candidates to connect with each other to find the right match. The advice and the tools you will find here are the result of many years of listening carefully to suggestions for improvement offered by both candidates and recruiters.
We encourage you to browse and use the resources we offer to get the information you need. We aim to make your experience easy and productive. However, we recognize that no website can answer every question and that sometimes even the best tools need adjustment. If at any time you cannot find what you need, or have difficulty in using the tools we provide, we encourage you to contact any Senior Associate with questions or comments. If you are unsure who to contact, please get in touch with our Executive Manager, Melinda Williams.
Thank you for visiting our site!

– Putin Signs Secret Pact To Crush NATO (Casey Research, Nov 6, 2014):
Back on September 11 and 12, there was a summit meeting in a city that involved an organization that most Americans have never heard of. Mainstream media coverage was all but nonexistent.
The place was Dushanbe, the capital of Tajikistan, a country few Westerners could correctly place on a map.
But you can bet your last ruble that Vladimir Putin knows exactly where Tajikistan is. Because the group that met there is the Russian president's baby. It's the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), consisting of six member states: Russia, China, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan. Continue reading »

GENRE: Steampunk meets Cyberpunk Fantasy
Minnow chose the table for its view. She watched everyone, trying to find him. The color was fading from the late autumn streets yet the working drones and mindless shoppers still rushed back and forth. Dashing and blurring by, their movements could be broken down into a simple series of form, color, and data. Minnow rested her head against the window and stretched out her arms across the yellow speckled Formica table. The table's surface warped and curved underneath her pale skin; its edges cracked and peeled under her fingers. Running her hands across the warped bumps of the table, she inadvertently knocked over the salt. Its silver cap, dented and clogged, held back any spill. She felt like the salt, knocked on her side and broken.
"What's up today, chickadee? What can I get ya?" asked Dot, her usual waitress. Dot's eyes, bloodshot and a muddy blue, looked out of the window as she spoke to Minnow. "Wake up little girl. Ya can't sleep here. But I'll grab ya some coffee. Set you right up." She winked and rubbed her nose with her stylus.
"Any cherry pie today?" Minnow asked. "I'll check." Dot tapped her stylus on her menu pad. "You're in luck. Two slices left." She slung a brightly bleached coffee mug on the table towards Minnow, startling her. Minnow steadied its spin. The outside of the mug shined a gleaming white while the inside was stained with minuscule blackened cracks that snaked along its sides.
13 comments:
I think you've got a lot of lovely description here: stained with miniscule blackened cracks, bloodshot and muddy blue, the part abou the salt.
However, I think you may have too much scene-building up front. You went on for a while about the yellow formica table, and while deftly described, why do I care about some innocuous table?
I would have preferred to see a bit more of your MCs voice and maybe a hint of something interesting to come, which I think you can do if trim some of the detail and add it in. Not sure I'd read on as is, but thanks for sharing!- YA writerMay 18, 2011 at 1:46 PM
I loved the opening, but too much description of the table. I wanted to say, "Let's get on with the action."
Don't think dented = broken, so choose another analogy.
Ya appears three times when the waitress speaks, and each time I find it jarring. Maybe stick to plain English?
You have a great talent for description, though and with a little tweaking, this could be grand. I think this is great. I love the description and I'd keep reading. The only comment I'd make as far as possible edits go: the second sentence tells us too much without showing. I think it's the "working drones and mindless shoppers." Since I don't know anything about this world, I'm taking those words very literally and, since it's not specific, I can't see it. The next sentence helps a bit, but I don't like "Dashing and blurring by" -- I felt that phrase was too distracting. Besides that, I loved this. Great job!
Best of luck!
AmyI like the description, except I'd condense the first paragraph some, remove some of the details about things that just sit, so you can move on to the action and the character. You want enough description to put the reader there, but you don't want it to stop the story. Your details are good ones, specific and vivid; it's just a matter of weeding a bit so that your story can shine through.
ReplyDeleteYou start with Minnow selecting the table for its view, so she can find him. So right away, we have a mystery. WHo is he and why does she need to find him? It pulled me in.
Then she sees the shoppers and drones and trees, so she's obvviously looking for him, and we get a bit of scene setting, too. Nice.
Then she leans against the window, so she is no longer looking out it, and stretche her arms across the table, and the table suddenly becomes important. We get a long description of it, and her interest in the missing *he* is gone. She's no longer looking for him.
This was where you lost me. I still want to know who 'he' is, and he's totaly gone from the story. Instead, I'm learning about the table and the salt shaker and the waitress' stylus and cherry pie.
Perhaps add some thoughts of 'him' throughtout those sections so we don't lose sight of what she came there to do. This missing 'he' has to be more relevant to the plot that the stains in the coffee cup.I like the description, but I think it's too much. Even repetitive at times. I agree with Barbara that the piece starts with this great mystery then drops it.
Also, the knocking over of the salt shaker felt forced to me, like she just knocked it down so she could make the comparison to her life. It might be better if the salt shaker is already fallen over and she just notices it as part of the description.I can tell by your prose that you're very talented. I'm afraid the story didn't move quicky enough for me. Having a character feeling sorry for herself and over-describing the setting just don't create the atmosphere or tension needed to pull in a reader. Perhaps you aren't starting the novel in the right place--at the moment when Minnow realizes her whole life has changed.
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful. Okay sure, I need a bit more, but it's beautiful just the same.
Lose the 'ya' - too many and if you want to put one in, what about
'whatchya want'....that's probably all you need.
And cherry pie! You're killing me. It's all meat and more meat over here, and boy do I ever miss a good cherry pie or any kind of fruit pie. Sorry lovely Australians, but you're missing out on so much by just tossing in mince!
Well done and good luck!Slightly intrigued. I agree with the others in that the description of the table is too much - and again with the coffee mug. Use your words, which you have good command over, carefully and simply - it'll have more impact. (i.e. Dashing and blurring by, their movements could be broken down into a simple series of form, color, and data. (GET RID OF THIS ENTIRELY - YOU'VE ALREADY SHOWN US THE PEOPLE OUTSIDE) andtry something like: "Minnow rested her head against the window and stretched out her arms across table. Running her pale fingers across the warped bumps of it, she knocked over the salt. Its silver cap, dented and clogged, held back any spill. She felt like the salt - knocked over and broken.") Now you can work a bit more of Minnow's voice/emotion/personality into the opening. Best of luck!
ReplyDeleteYou pulled me right in with the mystery of wondering who "he" is. Keep your relationships strong and the reader interested -- Minnow's relationship to "him" (with a bit more Dot's mind-set about this, like is he to be loved or feared?), Minnow's relationship with Dot (I couldn't tell if she were human or not, and since she has a name, I'm assuming she is a major character), and her relationship with the salt shaker. (lol. Nice metaphore.)
ReplyDelete- Secret AgentMay 21, 2011 at 1:43 PM
What I liked: Nice descriptions, interesting world building that shines through without feeling overbearing.
What needed work: The title. I instantly thought of The Police, and looked the phrase up to see it's also the name of a film.
I worried about Dot's manner of speaking, which I found intrusive and distracting. It's okay to give unique characters unique ways of speaking, but it felt like overkill here. Also, work on properly separating dialogue tags.
Would I read on based on this sample? Sure.

Press Release
Contact: Carnegie Mellon University in Qatar Launches First International Botball Robotics Club Botball Challenge slated for 21 May 2005
DOHA, QATAR—Carnegie Mellon University in Qatar is pleased to announce it will conclude its first robotics club program with a tournament featuring teams from local secondary schools. The upcoming Botball Robotics Challenge will be the first international competition of its kind ever held. Scheduled to take place at the Qatar Academy gym on Saturday, May 21, 2005 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., the contest will be judged by faculty from the university's main campus in Pittsburgh.
Currently, the American School of Doha, the Omar Bin Al-Khattab Educational Complex for boys (also known as the Scientific School), Qatar Academy and the International School of Choueifat have clubs expected to compete in the contest. Judges at the Botball Robotics Challenge include Matthew Mason, professor of computer science and robotics and director of the Robotics Institute, and Illah Nourbakhsh, associate professor of robotics at the Robotics Institute. Professor Nourbakhsh serves as Robotics Group lead at the Ames Research Center in NASA.
"We're delighted to be offering this educational opportunity in Doha to secondary school students," said Dr. Charles Thorpe, dean, Carnegie Mellon Qatar. "Carnegie Mellon is committed to reaching out to the community, and the robotics clubs are a wonderful way to encourage young students to learn more about science. Better still, the program's popularity allows us to host the Doha Robo Challenge, which is particularly appealing for Doha with the current focus on sports."
Botball is a unique approach to robotics curriculum that emphasizes learning through practical application. The program was developed in 1993 in the U.S. by the KISS Institute for Practical Robotics (KIPR) (www.kipr.org), and this is the first international chapter to host a competition.
Botball in Qatar is the brainchild of Dr. Thorpe, who started robotics clubs in October 2004 with the help of his son, Leland. With an eye toward hosting a competition, together they established clubs in five of Doha's secondary schools. Leland, a Botball enthusiast and former participant in Botball tournaments in the U.S., leads the weekly after-school club meetings.
"Qatar is the first country outside of the United States to host a Botball Challenge," said Leland. "As a former participant, it's a real honor to launch a new chapter in a new part of the world."
Selman Mawad, a computer science teacher from the International School of Choueifat, says there has been more interest in programming classes since the robotics workshops started.
"The clubs have created quite a buzz among high school and middle school students," said Dean Thorpe. "We have received an enthusiastic response from the students and I am excited to see how quickly they have embraced the discipline, patience and concept of teamwork that is required of them to program robots."
Using Lego kits provided by Carnegie Mellon Qatar to create the robots, students write the programs in C language, one of the most popular computer languages used in science and business. Outfitted with standard Lego materials, these kits also include technical pieces like touch and light sensors, as well as two microcontrollers. These microcontrollers, the XBC and the Handyboard, provide the brains of the robot; students download programs to it that they write on an ordinary desktop PC. The XBC is new to this year's Botball Challenge, and features a modified Game Boy Advance as well as a sophisticated color vision system.
"It's a wonderful opportunity to have the world's best teaching our students," said Chris Connellan, deputy director of the International School of Choueifat.
As a build-up to the final challenge in April, Leland sets a challenge every week. Previous challenges have seen students designing line-following robots, robots that run freely over tables without falling off the edge, as well as robots that can sumo wrestle each other.
"We are particularly proud of Leland's leadership in this project as he is the first former Botball student to initiate and implement a new Botball region himself," said Cathryne Stein, KIPR executive director and co-founder. "It reflects well on his personal experience in the program as well as his enterprise, vision and integrity in going to great efforts to give something valuable back to his local community." Lobna Genena a club member from The International School of Choueifat said, "I'm looking forward to the final challenge; it will be fun to compete against other schools. I've learned a lot about programming through the workshops."

Visit ASEAN@50 Campaign Announces Its 50 Travel Experiences for 2017
Fifty specially chosen cross border travel products will help entice visitors to Southeast Asia to celebrate the 50th anniversary of ASEAN
Well being, different forms of travel, nature discovery and more with Visit ASEAN@50. Download images here
The VISIT ASEAN@50 Golden Celebration 2017 campaign has revealed 50 cross-border travel experiences in Southeast Asia that will showcase the region's rich diversity and promote multi-destination travel within ASEAN.
This will contribute to raising international tourism arrivals to the region from 109 million in 2015 to 121 million by 2017.
The campaign, which celebrates the 50th anniversary of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), is being supported by private sector giants such as Mastercard and AirAsia.
Fifty special travel experiences, ranging from two to 26 nights, have been created by leading tour operators and cruise lines in Southeast Asia to entice travellers to visit Southeast Asia for the first time, as well as encourage repeat visitors.
Sample trips include a 8D/7N tour to Bagan, Inle, Pattaya and Bangkok; a 13D/12N cruise from Singapore to Yangon; a 6D/5N tour from Bali to Kuala Lumpur and the Genting Highlands; a 4D/3N tour from Brunei to Miri in Sarawak; a 12D/11N Coastal Paths tour from Myanmar to Thailand; and a 12D/11N Wellness and Nature trip to Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, Ipoh, Penang and Langkawi, to name a few.
AirAsia has pledged to support the year-long campaign. The airline will implement an extensive multimedia awareness campaign across all its operating markets and include the VISIT ASEAN@50 logo in multiple marketing campaigns. AirAsia will also promote its ASEAN Pass, which allows guests to enjoy flights at fixed rates, to encourage travellers to explore its network of more than 100 routes across the region. AirAsia will also run monthly tactical campaigns with special low lead-in prices.
Mastercard will embark on its largest travel campaign to date for the ASEAN region and will work with tourism partners and the global Priceless Cities programme to promote travel to consumers across different countries, languages and cultures. Mastercard will work with issuers and merchant partners to amplify the campaign globally and will use its Priceless.com platform to drive travel to and within the ASEAN region.
Speaking at a press conference at the World Travel Market in London 8 November to announce the tour packages, the Chairperson of the VISIT ASEAN@50 campaign, Mr Wardi bin Haji Mohammad Ali, told the media that no collection of 50 trips could definitively represent Southeast Asia, but the 50 chosen by ASEAN's national tourism organisations were a "very good start".
"We worked closely with the national tourism organisations of ASEAN member states," he said. "Together, they selected 50 experiences that were cross-border, accessible to mainstream tourists, were culturally respectful and represented core themes that the NTOs were pleased to be associated with. All 10 ASEAN member states have been included," said Mr Wardi.
The 10 ASEAN members include Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Viet Nam.
The 50 tours include cruise, a hassle-free and value-for-money holiday option to visit multiple ASEAN countries on a single trip. Special cruise packages were created by cruise lines for VISIT ASEAN@50. These packages include exclusive promotions on sailings to discover a wide variety of destinations such as Singapore, Kuala Lumpur (Port Klang), Penang, Langkawi, Phuket, Bangkok, Yangon and many more.
The cruises lines participating include Royal Caribbean International, Star Cruises and Coral Expeditions.
A 114-page online brochure outlining the 50 VISIT ASEAN@50 packages can be downloaded here. The 50 packages are also on http://www.visitasean50.com/.
VISIT ASEAN@50 will be officially launched at the ASEAN Tourism Forum in Singapore on 18 January and will run until 31 December 2017.

ASEANTA Headquarters – Putrajaya, Malaysia – The ASEAN Tourism Association is to set up a website to pay tribute to hundreds of industry veterans and stalwarts for laying the foundations of what is now recognised as the region's fastest-growing economic sector.
From ministers to hoteliers, tour operators to convention organisers, expatriates to Aseanites, legions of men and women with vision, dedication and commitment played critical roles in building up travel & tourism. They designed from the ground up the products and policies, dismantled impediments and bottlenecks, and planned and executed major marketing campaigns that raised ASEAN tourism to illustrious heights.
To be named "ASEAN Travel & Tourism Hall of Fame," the project will mark the 50th anniversary of the founding of ASEAN. Spearheaded by the ASEAN Tourism Association, the region's largest private sector grouping, the website is scheduled for launch at the January 16-20, 2017, ASEAN Tourism Forum in Singapore, to commemorate the 50th anniversary of ASEAN.

Spring Necklaces!
I have two, one of a kind, Spring themed necklaces available in the shop right now.
Check them out at
My Sweet
The Beatrix Necklace
The Tippi Necklace
Button Necklaces
I found these sweet little button charms a couple of weeks ago and I pretty much want to add them to every necklace I make. Here are two new necklaces that
added to the
! More to come very soon!
The Sadie Locket Necklace
Obviously I don't like to iron my clothes...
Speaking of buttons, look who came over to my house this morning.
I just love those little feet so much!
Life-sized Dollhouse
I have zero photos to share today because I left my camera at my moms house yesterday... But I do have some sweet pictures to post of the babes later this week ,and if I get my camera back in time, I'll be showing off 5 lovely new necklaces that will be
joining the shop tonight!
Until then, check out this massive dollhouse!
Saskatchewan artist Heather
transformed an old abandoned farmhouse
on the plains of Manitoba into a life size dollhouse. She removed the exterior walls on the backside of the house and restored and staged the rooms just as she imagined they may have appeared when the house was abandoned in 1968.
Happy Birthday Baby Brother!
Today is my baby brother Jedi's 3rd birthday! Happy Birthday
Yesterday we went over to my moms for a little party with Mike's (Jedi's daddy) family. It was lots of fun. So much yummy food, an
train cake that my mom made and Jedi was just the sweetest birthday boy. We gave him the bongos from Linus and he was oh so thankful. Linus made him a card and while Jedi was opening it he said, "OH, Linus! Did you make me this card!? I love it! Is this from you??! Thank you!". He's such a good uncle. Today we will be heading back over for round two. A party with a few of my moms friends and their cute babes. I will be sure to bring my camera this time! Round three with my family will be on Sunday. I can't wait and I just can't believe my sweet baby
is 3 already! I think there is something in my eyes... I better go.
Button Candy!
Look at what I found on Etsy...
My Dream come true!
Peppermint candy buttons. I need these.
Find them at
Andie Specialty Sweets
Have a sweet weekend!xo
Off To The Beauty Parlour!
Yep, as of tonight you will be able to purchase
My Sweet Baboo
necklaces from
The Beauty Parlour
here in Edmonton. Yay! I was busy last night making cute little fabric backed tags and boxing up all the necklaces so that they would be ready to drop off today. I'm very excited.
Speaking of My Sweet Baboo, today the
Etsy Alberta Street Team blog
is feauturing my creative space!
This Moment
{this moment} - A Friday ritual. A single photo - no words - capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember.
(inspired by
Linus' artwork and the work of
Heather Smith Jones
made me want to break out my own watercolours this morning.
Linus helped by painting his forehead. It brings out his eyes.
Below is what I made... I may have dipped the paint brush in my coffee cup more than once. I think maybe I need to practice.
While Linus and I were painting, a package got delivered to my door. It was my purchase from
. Yippee! Those girls did a lovely job packaging up my purchases. Just look at how pretty it is!
Linus was excited about the lolly.
These are a few things I bought. The rest are gifts and will be kept secret...
I went to Costco with my mama and these kooks the other day.
Thank you mommy for the ridiculous amount of over sized food. Evan was giddy with excitement when he came home after work. He squealed and did a little dance.
Spring Cleaning!
Oh, how I love spending time with my husband... During the week he wakes up way earlier than Linus and I so he can get to work on time. He's always super quiet and very considerate, but sometimes I wish he would wake me up so I could spend a little bit of the morning with him. That's something I really love about the weekend. I love being able to enjoy breakfast, g
o for a walk, and play with Linus together.
I'm so looking forward to summer time picnics in the park, walks to the downtown farmers market, backyard shin-digs and visits to the playground with Linus! I'm just so unbelievably lucky to have these guys. I love spending my days with them. They make my world go round.
Last night, after we finished dinner, Evan helped me organize and clean the kitchen. We were on such a roll. We cleaned out and organized the fridge, pantry, and all the cupboards. Washed every surface, scrubbed every dish! Ahhh, it feels good to get such an icky job done. We're working away on the main floor and upstairs before we tackle the dreaded basement... It's packed full of boxes, laundry that never gets done, spiders and ugly carpet. I've been wanting to make the room down there into a guest bedroom/craft room/play area... We'll see how that goes. First we need to empty it of all the boxes, rip out the carpet, paint, and put up some new blinds. Then we have our nasty bathroom to deal with. Neither of us ever go in there... It's where all the spiders live. Once that's finished, we have our laundry area... In our next house, I really hope to have a nicely lit, clean room dedicated to laundry. I feel like it would make me want to do the laundry so much more often if it wasn't in such an unpleasant, dark and dingy place. So, that's the plan... But for now I'm just going to enjoy my clean kitchen. Thanks for the help Boo.
I think we need a date night soon, 'cause I love ya!

We've turned the corner of the final 10 days before the June 30 budget deadline, so you can expect us to be full throttle between now and then – then meaning whenever the budget is completed. This week, it became clear in public and private statements that all sides – House, Senate and the governor's office –are anticipating that the work may bleed into July, at least a bit, especially if the governor is going to hold out for not only a balanced budget, which is required by the Pennsylvania constitution, but also for pension reform and some kind of liquor bill.
In that vein, starting Monday, the House and Senate will hold session every day through the June 30 budget deadline. In addition, you might notice the legislative committees adding meetings to the calendar with "to be announced" agendas. Essentially, they are sharpening the legislative tools to react quickly in the event that supporting budget legislation or other bills, such as pension and liquor, need to make it to the floor in the flurry of activity that always comes these last few weeks.
What to Watch
The General Appropriations bill, H.B. 2328, is listed on the House Voting Schedule for Monday, which is the first day that debate on the bill can begin, according to House rules. So far, 13 amendments have been filed to the bill, but we are expecting to see many, many more as negotiations shake out and legislators figure out how to support individual initiatives in what is turning out to be the tightest budget year in recent memory. Other budget bills on Monday's House Voting schedule include bills making appropriations to the special funds. Check out our previous blog that talks about these bills: http://www.pagovernmentrelations.com/?p=438.
H.B. 907 (Reese,R-Fayette) has also been added to the House Calendar. This bill would amend the Public Welfare Code to prohibit people receiving cash assistance from purchasing tobacco or tobacco products with their electronic benefits cards.
H.B. 1353 (Kampf, R-Chester) is also on the House Voting Schedule which as been for the last few weeks understood to be the vehicle for Rep. Mike Tobash's (R-Schuylkill) hybrid pension bill.
As the possible enactment of a severance tax becomes more and more likely, we can expect to see a number of Tax Reform Code bills being positioned for possible vehicles. Rep. Bryan Cutler's (R-Lancaster) H.B. 2188, which would make utilization of the Community-Based Services Tax Credit easier for mental health care and intellectual disability service, and Rep. Michele Brooks' (R-Crawford) H.B. 2232, which would phase out the inheritance tax have both been added to the House voting schedule.
The Senate Calendar indicates that votes on a number of bills to amend the Public School Code could be up for consideration. Sen. Lloyd Smucker's (R-Lancaster) charter school reform bill, S.B.1085, is on third consideration in the upper chamber and could be sent to the House for consideration early next week, as is Rep. Pat Browne's S.B. 1316, a special education funding bill.
The Senate is also positioned to consider H.B. 1337 (Toohil, R-Luzerne), on third consideration, which would provide increased funding for the Access to Justice Account. The Access to Justice Account funds legal services for low-income Pennsylvanians.
Politically speaking, all eyes are going to be on the Attorney General's office Monday when it will release the long-awaited report regarding the investigation into Jerry Sandusky. Current Attorney General Kathleen Kane promised to conduct the review as part of her campaign for Attorney General. The Sandusky investigation began under then-Attorney General Tom Corbett. Leaked information shared in recent news reports about the pending release of the report indicates there is no smoking gun of the political sort.
In Committee
Because there are so many meetings currently on the books with open agendas, this week we are going to highlight meetings that are running bills of interest.
Monday, June 23
The House Insurance Committee will hold a public hearing examining insurance coverage for consumers when utilizing experimental service for transportation. There has been an increase in dialogue on this issue since the introduction of H.B. 2295 (Killion, R- Delaware) earlier this month. The Ridesharing Arrangements Act would provide ridesharing arrangements to commuters and employers without being regulated as a public utility by the PUC. Killion's bill passed in the House unanimously last week. Rep. Thomas Killion stated that the legislation would increase vanpooling and decrease emissions. In addition, fewer vehicles would be on the road. The upcoming public hearing should address questions on another facet of the matter, insurance coverage, before the bill is considered by the Senate. This hearing will take place at 10 a.m. in room G-50 of the Irivs Office Building.
Tuesday, June 24
The Senate Aging and Youth Committee and the House Aging and Older Services Committee will hold a joint meeting to hear a presentation by the Department of Aging Secretary Brian Duke on Pennsylvania's Alzheimer's State Plan. Last week, Gov. Corbett approved Pennsylvania Alzheimer's Disease State Planning Committee's plan, which included recommendations and a strategic approach to combat the issue in the future. This meeting will take place at 9:30 a.m. in Hearing Room 1 of the North Office Building. The Pennsylvania State Plan's recommendations include:
The House Children and Youth Committee will hold an informational hearing on the Front Porch Project at 10 a.m. on Tuesday in Room B31 of the Main Capitol Building. The Front Porch Project examines why adults are reluctant to report suspected child abuse. Here's a link to the project: https://www.pa-fsa.org/assets/Intro_sheet_who-what-why_7-12.pdf
The Senate Labor and Industry Committee will meet on Tuesday at 11 a.m. in Room 461 of the Main Capitol. Among the bills up for consideration is H.B. 1846 (Quinn, R-Bucks), which provides for physician dispensing of drugs under the Workers' Compensation Act
Wednesday, June 25
The House Environmental Resources and Energy Committee will hold a meeting to discuss Rep. Pam Snyder's (D-Fayette) legislation on carbon dioxide emissions. H.B. 2354, introduced last week, would require the Department of Environmental Protection to receive approval from the General Assembly for a state plan to regulate CO2 emissions for existing stationary sources prior to submitting to the EPA for approval. Under the new preliminary EPA rule, Pennsylvania is given an emissions target to meet by 2030. Also, the state is given the flexibility to adapt its own state plan in order to determine the best way of meeting the EPA's requirements. H.B. 2354 would give elected officials, rather than the EPA regulators, the authority to ensure that the state plan is created exclusively for the specific needs of the commonwealth. Rep. Snyder says she is primarily concerned about the preservation of coal-generation in the state, which she believes to be a reliable and economic source of energy. This meeting will take place at 9 a.m. in Room G50 in the Irvis Office Building.
Last week, you might recall the House Aging and Older Adult Services Committee held an informational hearing last week on H.B. 2014 (Hennessy, R-Chester), which would revise the Older Adults Protective Services Act (Act 79 of 1987) to amend the criminal background check provisions in the current act, clearly defining the crimes that would prohibit individuals from being employed in long-term care facilities, in response to a previous Supreme Court ruling. That hearing will continue Wednesday at 9:30 a.m. in Room 60 in the East Wing of the Capitol. The bill also has a provision that would impact financial institutions, requiring them to provide employee-training programs in recognizing signs of potential financial abuse of an older adult and the process to make an abuse report. You can check it out as it happens, as it will be webcast live.
The House Local Government Committee meets to consider a number of bills. Among them is Rep. Robert Freeman's (D-Northampton) H.B. 700, which would extend the duration of grants under the Main Street Program. The Main Street Program provides grants to municipalities to revitalize their downtown areas.
Thursday, June 26
The House Health Committee has scheduled a voting meeting on H.B. 1760 (Denlinger, R-Lancaster). Known as the Volunteer Health Care Practitioner Act, the bill provides for the certification of a health care practitioner as a volunteer health care practitioner by the Department of Health. A volunteer would be immune from civil liability as long as he provides 48 hours of uncompensated, voluntary care at a free health clinic within the Commonwealth every quarter. According to the sponsorship memo, the bill is designed to help stem the tide of medical talent leaving the state, provide quality health care services to those who cannot afford to pay and address some of the state's outdated medical malpractice rules and regulations. This hearing will take place at 10 a.m. in Room G-50 of the Irvis Office Building.
Friday, June 27
The Senate Environmental Resources and Energy Committee will hold a public hearing in Hearing Room 1 of the North Office Building to solicit testimony regarding the energy of the EPA's Clean Power Plan. The proposed EPA regulation was announced on June 2, 2014 and implementation of the regulation is expected to begin beg finalized in 2015. States would then have to submit an initial plan by June 2016 and then until 2017 (or 2018 if they make joint efforts with another state) to submit a final copy. According to the Obama administration, the proposed Clean Power Plan would reduce carbon dioxide emissions from existing power plants by 30 percent. For Pennsylvania, the Plan proposes a state renewable energy generation goal of 16 percent. Currently the state is at 2 percent. Additionally, Pennsylvania's output-weighted-average CO2 emission rates are expected to drop from 1,179 to 1,052. On July 31, 2014, one of only four federal public hearings throughout the country will take place in Pittsburgh.
Committee meetings are added and taken off the schedule continually.

As any football fan will know, there is little more infuriating than those who would reduce this deceptively simple sport to the phrase "it's just a bunch of men kicking a ball around". So, at the risk of making the 527 million people who watched a recent Formula One season collectively wince, can anyone explain to me what it is about this "sport" that makes it more than a bunch of blokes driving as fast as possible around a track?
I've tried to get into it. I've sat for hours watching events with enthusiasts only too happy to explain the tactical intricacies. Over the course of a stag weekend, I've attended a live race, thinking that the sights, sounds and smells might finally illuminate me as to the reasons for Formula One's popularity. I've read extensively of the many behind-the-scenes struggles to make the modern race more exciting, unpredictable and lively for the spectator. Zip. Zilch. Nada.
Which is an appropriate description of what seems to happen on track. "Ooh look, someone just overtook someone. The courage, the timing, the bravery!" Really, I've seen more impressive manoeuvres on that bit of the Holloway Road where the bus lane ends and a second lane becomes available.
"Those guys in the pits can change a tyre in under five seconds." Now that is impressive, because I believed them when they said you can't get better than a Kwik-Fit fitter and I was in there for about two hours last time I got a puncture.
"The money, the glamour…" Agreed, that can be an intoxicating and sexy combination. But then you take one look at Bernie Ecclestone (or worse, Tamara) and suddenly being poor and having an unexciting life looks more and more appealing.
This week, the F1 circus comes to Silverstone. And so, by amazing coincidence, a PR agency representing one of McLaren's biggest sponsors put forward the idea that the race could be run around the world-famous sites of central London. A ridiculous idea that will never happen, according to those in the know. Which is a shame, because at least then we'd all have something to look at.

Five Crazy Things: Lazy Days
38 comments:
1. Having a fire going constantly
2. Having a big breakfast "Quebec Style"
3. Long walks through the woods
4. Everyone, including a slew of animals just hanging out in the living room by the fire chatting and laughing.
5. All shoveling snow together and talking to the neighbors who are also shoveling.OK, I'm going to take family out of that equation and substitute in friends and friends' family. But, with that dynamic established:
1. Playing games: Scrabble (cut throat!), Dutch Blitz (full contact!), Give Me The Brain, Scattergories, Boggle, and more! We are game playing folks!
2. Planning craft projects together and teaching each other crafty stuff
3. Pieces of various flavors pies with lots of Cool Whip (a tradition at R's house)
4. Just hanging out talking, getting sillier by the hour (e.g. planning yarn bombs)
5. tending to animals: laughing at the dogs' antics, loving on the kitties, feeding the chickens and watching them be their gonzo poultry selvesI was going to write sleep x5 but then I reread the question. I am already spending alot of time with my family. Well my sister's family but whose counting. Just yesterday I was playing pillow/ jumping mat for my nephew. So to pick some in no specific order:
Watching a movie
Sauna!!1. aimlessly browsing Pinterest/Facebook/Twitter, etc...but not for as long as I could.
2. Going on a walk
3. A cup of something hot and a movie/episode of a TV show
4. Sleeping in!!!!
5. Sitting in the living room w/ my sis and just talking. Kitty on lap optional.
:)1. Jumping from one loud conversation to the next without missing a beat!
2. Way too much of the best food ever!
3. Games. We get rather competative! Just over thanksgiving we took on the challenge of having to write down all 50 states without any help from online ect. I am not sure if this just adds to our american sterotypes but none of us got to 50. I won by getting to 47 :)
4. Football on the TV
5. Just getting to see the family : )1. sitting by my Christmas tree, when its lit up drinking coffee
2. watching my Christmas movies
3. I love to look at my picture window,
and listen to music
4. I love to play with my pets, underneath my Christmas tree
5. I love to bake this time of year, baking would be my last thing.Ahhhh Love this, Barb! We have very similar lists!
1. Listening to music
2. Eating junk food (ordering a great pizza that bursts out cheese the moment you bite into it, fries, chocolate milkshake...mmmm!!)
3. Playing games (Love them but I dont have anyone to play them with. So when I say games I mean Computer games, AGE OF EMPIRES, SKYRIM, SIMS 3!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE)
4. Watch something...movies,sitcoms etc.
5. Talking out loud to MYSELF (Yeah....like I wasnt weird BEFORE!!)

I so admire (and envy) y'all with your Sublime lists of fireplaces and your shoveling snow and the winter walks...... Oh...Just wait till I get there!! Then my list is gonna be even more delicious!!!! (Including making snow angels!)P.S. HOW do you know EXACTLY when I come here to comment???? OMG you're here when I'm here... So is Deb. Its just.... AWESOME!!!!
ReplyDelete- Replies
Argh, I think I knew this, Dawn, but forgot. Do you miss it? Or is it too much hoopla/trouble?
DeleteI wish I could give you some of my lazy days! :) How about a hug until I figure that out! xo (Oh gosh....that is what you mean right? you said you didnt have lazy days on FB. If not.... So sorry... :P you can keep the hug though)
DeleteI miss some of it. Sarah was over this weekend and helped my parents decorate the living room. She posted that she had a ball with it. My thing is I have memories of what it USED to be and it's depressing to see what it's been cut down to. I should take a picture of our "Christmas tree" and post it. It just does NOT cut it.
The holiday season is tough because so many people are all bubbly and happy. I KNOW, intelligently, that not everyone is getting a kick out of it all, but I only ever run across them in therapy groups. *wry smile*
I don't want or mean to be a drag. This is just a tough time.Shalaka, I guess I phrased it incorrectly on Facebook. I have PLENTY of lazy days. Holidays just don't change that into anything special. As my dad puts it, "Every day's a holiday when you're not working."
I can't go into this further. That's not what today's list is about, and I just don't have the strength today, anyway.This is the first time I could check back here since this aft, Dawn -- maybe for the best as you're not up for "the chat" anyway :) But I totally get this. I also know that you've wrapped your head around what to do for yourself that's nice when you need it. It doesn't need to be a big deal. Or it can be. Whatever you decide. xoxo
1. Cooking
2. Reminiscing
3. Walking with the dogs
4. Playing games - cribbage, yahtzee, crossword puzzles, scrabble if I can convince my mother I won't win...
5. Teasing each other1. PJ's/sweat pants and a hoodie
2. Slippers (Hobbit ones are one right now)
3. Movie or book
4. Coffee!!!
5. Sitting and enjoying the quiet of the day (I don't get too many lazy days)Loving reading about all the cosy winter holiday activities- not too sure about the snow shovelling tho... I've only met snow once and we didn't really get along!
Our Christmas holidays are all about the heat- lazy days in the pool or at the beach or river. There is nothing I like better than getting together for a bbq with my parents and siblings and our kids, trying to keep the chaos and noise to a minimum but failing every time. Next weekend I'm attempting to organise all 9 kids aged 1-8 to make and decorate christmas cookies... Not really expecting it to be a lazy day (I'm pretty sure I'll be cleaning up icing until next year) but I'm looking forward to it, and really looking forward to the nap afterwards.- AnonymousNovember 28, 2012 at 1:55 AM
1. Staying up late and getting up whenever (Like now)
2. Getting up early with a three year old grand daughter and starting to play immediately. (Gives the day a whole new perspective)
3. Knit whenever you want. (All the gifts will be done so knit sans a deadline.)
4. Cooking, walking, baking doing whatever you normally have to do but do it surrounded by peeps you love makes it more fun and puts a smile on your face.
5. Having tea (or whatever) and chatting about all sorts of stuff other than the weather and the usual grind -whenever someone wants to. Don't have to wait for anything other than the water to boil.
Dorothy 1. Reading. Always reading. To the point that my younger relatives plan elaborate schemes to steal my books whenever there's a family gathering. (None of them work, most involve ninja skills, and they've yet to figure out that I stop reading just to watch their convoluted attempts at sneakiness.)
2. The nibble table. No matter who is there, there is always a nibble table, and by Jove, it must be the combined Gaelic/Polish blood because it is divinely good. Interesting conversations, exquisite food from vastly different palates. I bet you've never seen kielbasa on the same table as tiny muffins and Dubliner cheese.
3. Tracing dominant family traits across the room. (Weirdly, the person I most resemble isn't related to me by blood at all.)
4. That happy feeling when you're snuggled in a chair and listening to laughter. It's one of the best things in the world.
5. Ever noticed that there's always one person who tells the horrendously bad jokes that make everyone laugh anyway?- Souzan Rezai from Vancouver, BCNovember 30, 2012 at 6:10 PM
Tee Hee!
1. Being the Child; My brother and I always go home and stay with my parents for Christmas, and one of my favourite things is how quickly we regress to being 6 years old and 10 years old respectively. He and I have this rule for as long as I stopped automatically doing anything that he asked where if my parents ask us to do something-- but don't specify a name-- whoever shouts "dibs" first calls not being the one to do it. I look forward to shouting dibs well into my 80's...
2. Group Naps; yes on my day to day life sometimes I'll take a nap if I need one, but when everyone is home for the holidays, post-lunch naps are wordlessly expected and executed by everyone. Awesomeness.
3. Dance Parties; I actually have dance parties by myself 4-5 nights a week. I thought everyone did this, and was the main reason people strived to live in their own apartment, but realize now that it's not necessarily as common as flossing...However when I'm home with my parents, without fail after dinner, just as the last of the dishes are getting washed up, a funky dance party will commence. Then we floss.
4. Candlelight dinners. When I'm by myslef at my place, I will sometimes light candles for a bath/movie/whatnot. But when I'm home at my parents, without fail there are candles lit for dinner. In all my life, I cannot recall a single dinner, even if it was just me and my mom and some watermelon slices, that that beautiful woman didn't light candles.
5. This sounds awful but...having my laundry done by my parents. I swear I don't ask them to, but when we're home, it just...gets done. And folded. I know, I'm really spoiled, BUT I HELP IN LOTS OF WAYS. I swear. But it's just great being spoiled. Number 5 really should have just been "getting spoiled".

Going to get a tummy tuck as well, My weight is currently 135, I want them to look natural but want good size, I am also getting a lift as well as implants whats a good size thats not too big. Thanks.
I Am 5'2 and Am a 36C is 225cc a Good Size? I Have a Small to Medium Frame.
Doctor Answers 11
The answer is maybe, depending on what your desires are for your final result. You do have breast tissue at a C size so you would not need as much volume as someone with minimal breast tissue. That being said I have put larger implant in someone like you and have gotten good results and a very pleased patient. The larger implant placed however, adds weight and will result in more stretching and sagging over time, so thgere is a balance. I try to get a good idea about what a patient is looking for through discussion , photos , etc. and go from there.
An in-person exam with a board-certified plastic surgeon is the best way to assess your needs and provide true medical advice.
Web reference: http://www.michaelomidi.com
In most cases, 225cc will result in a 1-2 cup size increase. In order to make an accurate size recommendation, I would need to assess your chest wall and breast mound measurements and characteristics. Unfortunately, there is not a general rule of thumb or objective criteria to implant selection.
Your plastic surgeon will perform several measurements of your chest wall and breast anatomy and determine a range of implants that both fit your chest wall and reach your desired goals.
The next step is to try on this range of implants in the office with your doctor. The key to this success is showing your surgeon the body proportion you desire with a bra sizer and allowing your surgeon to guide you to the right implant. It will be much easier to communicate in implant cc's than cup size when determining the appropriate implant for you.
I wish you a safe recovery and fantastic result.

Much of the final "look" achieved after breast augmentation surgery depends on several factors:
1. The initial shape, size (volume of breast tissue), symmetry of the patient's breasts. In general, the better the preoperative breast appearance the more likely the breast augmentation "look" will be optimal.
2. The experience/skill level of the surgeon is important in determining the final outcome. For example, the accurate and gentle dissection of the breast implant pockets are critical in producing long-term well-placed breast implants. I personally think that these 2 factors are more important than any others, including type (saline or silicone) or model (low/moderate/high profile) of implant.
3. The type of implant used may determine the final outcome, especially if the patient does not have significant covering breast or adipose tissue. For example, some surgeons feel that silicone implants have a more natural look and feel than saline implants because silicone gel has a texture that is similar to breast tissue. Each patient differs in the amount of breast tissue that they have. If a patient has enough breast tissue to cover the implant, the final result will be similar when comparing saline implants versus silicone gel implants. If a patient has very low body fat and/or very little breast tissue, the silicone gel implants may provide a more "natural" result.
On the other hand, saline implants have some advantages over silicone implants. Silicone implant ruptures are harder to detect. When saline implants rupture, they deflate and the results are seen almost immediately. When silicone implants rupture, the breast often looks and feels the same because the silicone gel may leak into surrounding areas of the breast without a visible difference. Patients may need an MRI to diagnose a silicone gel rupture. Saline implants are also less expensive than the silicone gel implants.
Other differences involve how the breast implants are filled. Saline implants are filled after they're implanted, so saline implants require a smaller incision than prefilled silicone breast implants.
On May 10, 2000, the FDA granted approval of saline-filled breast implants manufactured by Mentor Corporation and McGhan Medical. To date, all other manufacturers' saline-filled breast implants are considered investigational.
As of 2006, the FDA has approved the use of silicone gel implants manufactured by the Mentor Corporation and Allergan (formerly McGhan) for breast augmentation surgery for patients over the age of 22.
4. The size and model of breast implant used may make a significant difference in the final outcome. Therefore, it is very important to communicate your size goals with your surgeon. In my practice, the use of photographs of "goal" pictures (and breasts that are too big or too small) is very helpful. I have found that the use of words such as "natural" or "C cup" or "fake looking" means different things to different people and therefore prove unhelpful.
Also, as you know, cup size varies depending on who makes the bra; therefore, discussing desired cup size may also be inaccurate.
I use intraoperative sizers and place the patient in the upright position to evaluate breast size. Use of these sizers also allow me to select the breast implant profile (low, moderate, moderate plus, high-profile) that would most likely achieve the patient's goals. The patient's goal pictures are hanging on the wall, and allow for direct comparison.
I have found that this system is very helpful in improving the chances of achieving the patient's goals as consistently as possible.
By the way, the most common regret after this operation, is "I wish I was bigger".
I hope this helps.

Bra sizes are confusing. More often than not, a woman is not wearing a correctly fitted bra, doesn't know her bra size, or doesn't know how a bra is fitted.
Cup size is dependent on the "number" part of the bra size... a D cup in a 34 bra is a different size from a 42 bra.
That being said, bra manufacturers are not held to any uniform standards when it comes to cup size and shape... that is why one brand of bra might fit you very well for a given size, but not another brand. Or, you wear a 34D in a Victoria's Secret bra, and a 34C in another brand, for example.
When discussing breast size after augmentation, outward projection can be further determined by the "profile" of the implant. High school geometry: Height (projection) times Width (base width). A Higher Profile implant will give you a larger cup size for less volume than a Moderate Profile implant.
Furthermore, a saline implant looks bigger than a silicone implant of the same volume. That is because a saline implant is more oval (round on both top and base), while a silicone implant is flat on the base.
Some plastic surgery books have proposed the following parameters for breast augmentation:
- 32 bra: 100-200 ml per cup size
- 34 bra: 150-250 ml per cup size
- 36 bra: 200-300 ml per cup size
- 38 bra: 250-350 ml per cup size
Web reference: http://www.coastalcosmetic.com/
It is difficult to just say yes to that question. Remember that the breast width really helps define what implant range makes sense. Also the stretch of the breast will effect the volume it will except. So, 225 in a narrow breast that does not have stretch marks and is tight may be ok. While a wider breast with breast ptosis 225 may not be right. So, talk with your BC Plastic Surgeon with the physical exam and go over your dimensions and correlating implants for that exam.
This size may be a little small, but its very hard to determine the ideal size without a detailed discussion to determine your goals and a thorough exam to evaluate preoperative breast size, tissue characteristics (like skin lossness) and body characteristics. Your surgeon will likely be happy to meet with you again to clarify if there's any question. Good luck.
Focusing on the size of the implant with the volume does not lead to a proper decision on the type of implant you need. This decision should be based on the measurements of your breast dimensions to include you breast width, height, the amount of breast tissue you have, your goals etc.
Advising you the size of implant would be very difficult with out a proper exam and a discussion of your goals and desires.
I would encourage you to focus more picking the right implant of what ever size it ends up being based on proper measurements by your plastic surgeon. It should properly fit your breast anatomy and give you the projection and volume it is intended to have.
good luck
The breast size reflects both the size of the implants and the amount of breast tissue you have already. You mentioned that you are a C cup. If you want an increase of one cup size, then 225 cc is about right. But that's not the most important question. The most important concern is the type of lift and if you need one. Assuming you do, the lift should be vertical with removal of tissue from the lower pole, which makes your breast a little smaller, so you may need slightly larger implants to compensate for this tissue removal. "Skin-lift" procedures leave a bulge in the lower pole; they do not correct the sagging.
There is a large variety of techniques used and some are quite unsatisfactory (inverted T and periareolar) in terms of shape and degree of scarring. So I would spend some time investigating this topic, looking at before and after photos of your surgeon's work.
Web reference: http://www.swansoncenter.com
The fact that you are considering contouring of the abdomen and already have a C cup breast you do not need to choose a very large implant. A 300cc with a moderate profile should provide you a balanced figure. Your plastic surgeon can assist you to choose the proper implant. Submitting a photo of your breast and abdomen would be helpful to suggest the range of implant that would fit your figure.

Whispers by Veera Välimäki: A flirty little thing knitted for the warmer weather, although it's way too hot to wear at the moment! My knitting has been oh so slow these past few months I could have done with this top back in May when I actually started swatching for it. Now it will have to wait for cooler evenings or September even, when the dregs of Summer will hopefully continue on but in a less searing way.
I loved knitting Whispers, plus I got to try out Madelinetosh's Dandelion with a touch of linen amongst the merino wool. Gorgeous yarn folks, go try! Naturally it's grey, this is such a pale, almost pearly shade and I'm so pleased with it. I wasn't too sure about the flippy sleeves to begin with but now I'm thinking 'what the heck, live a little'. Besides, I can always sew them up later if I really want to. More pics and details are here on my Ravelry page.
My postman delivered a nice plump package of yarn the other day so I have some deciding to do. Another Summer knit, or move on to my Autumn plans now. Hmm, with the rate I'm going I think I'm making my decision rather faster than usual!
And you? What are you creating I wonder?
41 comments:
Beautiful Kate, I really love the sleeves and the little detail at the neck is gorgeous !
V xOh Kate, your knitting is always so beautiful and inspiring. Whispers looks great on you and I hope you have cooler weather soon so you can wear it often.
I am still ever so slowly knitting my Recipe for a Textured Shawl, which I am loving. Also I'm working on Aise' which will be on the needles for a long while I think, over 900 yards of lace weight yarn is a lot of yarn and I'm in no hurry.This is just a delightful little top, so pretty... the neck and the arms... just so sweet, I love the colour too. At the moment i'm forever patchworking, summer is too hot for me to do anything yarn related! x
ReplyDeleteso pretty!
and that song of the sea cowl too: beautiful! i have been wanting to make myself one for a long time. i have been knitting on a sweater lately and just now i noticed that it was too small....should have tried it on much earlier. so tomorrow i will have to tear it up and i think that i will be tempted to take a pause from it before i start again...
i have yarn and pattern ready for a shawl so maybe i will start on that one instead : )
much loveRepliesHi Vibeke, what a shame you had a knitting disaster, all that work :(
This may be a little late in the day but I came across this excellent post about just the same problem - http://ellagordon.wordpress.com/2014/06/20/boarding/ . It uses the most fantastic piece of equipment, I love it. x
Beautiful! That is a lovely colour on you - I hope it cools down soon! What did you like about dandelion in particular? How did you find blocking the sleeves?
ReplyDeleteRepliesThank you, I'm still not wearing it though, it is SO hot in Vancouver this summer. I love all the MadTosh bases but dandelion has a wonderful drape, a very slight sheen to it and just feels so lovely in the hand. Blocking the sleeves were no problem, I just pinned them down flat and very well lined up.
It's gorgeous and I think the sleeves are just right as they are, especially viewed side on. Knitting in hot weather can be uncomfortable, I tend to keep my knitting it the fridge for that reason.
ReplyDeleteI've been curious about the Dandelion yarn, and thank you so much for these great photographs of your new creation. It's a great design with just enough detailing, and you've knitted it so very well. Seeing how nicely the yarn drapes and the general weight of the garment does encourage me to give Dandelion a try. Oh...that will only add a few more skeins of yarn to my steadily growing supplies, but why on earth should that be a deterrent?
xoElegant, simple and an ideal color, and of course looks great on you. In Spain also very hot...kisses
ReplyDeleteOh this is just so elegant and beautiful. Makes me want to finish mine languishing in the WIP basket. Perfect summer top!
ReplyDeleteThat is a really lovely top! So glad you were able to get back to the UK for a visit! Almost a year now since our trip and I miss it just as much.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. Once again you inspire me with your lovely makes. Thanks for sharing x Rebecca
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely top - the yarn is perfect and a lovely colour. I really like the detail at the sleeves- it really suits you. I hope you've had a chance to wear it.
ReplyDeleteHi, I love your craft, is beauty, I love a colors, I follow your blog, hugs from Brazil.

It says something about a toy when it's not even worth keeping in that "maybe one day I'll feel like using this POS again.." box, and skipping straight to the bin.
GREAT review. I can already tell the design is awful and I would never try and use this... it looks painful.
Although I agree it looks painful, I think the look is pretty cool from an artistic standpoint. Just not something I would want to stick inside my body. Thanks for the terrific review.
I agree with Jimbo, it's artistic but it seems that's all. Thanks for your honest review.
Thanks for the review.
The look of it was what drew me in enough to try it, but after using it I couldn't even appreciate that.
Thanks for being honest. I hope EF doesn't even bother stocking this.
Same here. The experience was negative enough that if this had been my first introduction to anal play with a toy, I would've given up on it entirely.
That's too bad, I really thought the design looked cool. Thanks for the review.
Thank you for the review. I'm sorry it was such a painful experience. I can see where the holder for the beads could be uncomfortable.
How long is it and about how big is each bead? Is there space between the holder (that is the only thing I can think to call it) and the beads?
Thank you for taking one for the Team. -
oh man, I thought this looked really neat. Thanks for the heads up!
P'Gell- 7 1/2 inches long, with 5 1/2 insertable. It lists a diameter of 2 inches, which is the biggest of the beads. The first bead I could best compare to one of those pencil-eraser caps.
The holder is molded in with the beads, but there are crevices (not openings- just dips) between the beads and the holder that makes cleaning very irritating. -
Thanks for the review. Sorry it was such a horrible experience for you.
No discussions yet.
Thank you for viewing Beaded probe – anal probe review page!
