The latest version of the Pilatus PC-12, featuring new avionics and a new engine, received FAA and EASA certification on March 28. The PC-12 Next Generation, formally known as the PC-12/47E, was announced at the 2006 NBAA Convention. The added features include some that operators have been seeking for many years and indicate that the PC-12's popularity hasn't abated. More than 780 PC-12s have been delivered since the large single-engine turboprop began selling in 1994. Deliveries of the PC-12 NG began right after certification.
The PC-12 NG's maximum weights and flight envelope remain the same, but the more powerful Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A-67P engine offers a higher thermodynamic rating and better hot-and-high performance. Compared with the PC-12/47's PT6A-67B, the "P" delivers 15 percent more power, with a thermodynamic rating of 1,845 shp max takeoff and 1,745 shp climb/cruise. The flat rating remains at 1,200 shp for takeoff and is increased to 1,200 shp for cruise, up from 1,000 shp in previous PC-12 models. With a 1,000-pound payload, the PC-12 can fly 1,573 nm (NBAA IFR range, 100-nm alternate, high-speed cruise). Differences between the two engines include single-crystal compressor turbine blades, a new compressor configuration and a dual-generator accessory gearbox to house two 300-amp generators. The two 300-amp generators, coupled with a new power generation and distribution system with automatic load shedding, should make managing the electrical system easier. Earlier PC-12s had a main and smaller backup generator.
Automatic digital pressurization controls are normal in modern airplanes, and PC-12 operators have long wished for an update to the PC-12's analog system, which works fine but requires more pilot input. The PC-12 NG features a digital cabin pressure control system and digital environmental control system controller, which will make the pilot's job easier and pressurization and environmental system operation more comfortable for passengers.
A Built-in Glass Panel
The heart of the PC-12 NG upgrade is the instrument panel, which received a complete make-over. PC-12 owners who wanted a full glass panel upgrade from the decades-old Bendix/King EFIS 50 avionics that were standard had no choice but to buy an aftermarket system offered by Universal Avionics or Innovative Solutions & Support. The PC-12 NG now features the Honeywell Primus Apex glass cockpit, with
four 10.4-inch displays. (The copilot PFD is optional.)
PC-12 pilots will immediately notice the absence of the distinct central advisory and warning system (CAWS) panel on the PC-12 NG. The CAWS panel is the go-to for almost every PC-12 system and delivers a lot of systems information to pilots. On the NG, however, the CAWS panel has transmuted into an electronic entity displayed on the upper left sixth of the lower MFD. The instrument panel is also cleaned up by moving landing gear, flap, trim and engine and systems indicators onto the lower MFD.
Pilatus has always maintained that the PC-12 was a highly integrated airplane and therefore difficult to modify, but the NG takes that a step further. "We are convinced that the Honeywell Primus Apex truly deserves to be called an integrated avionics system," explained Daniel Kunz, PC-12 director of sales and marketing.
While the Apex PFDs and MFDs have plenty of soft keys for data entry, Pilatus added an alphanumeric keyboard and joystick in the center console. Apex also includes an integrated flight management system. Other new avionics features include multimodal digital navcom radios and GPS receivers, digital autopilot and dual-channel ADAHRS, RVSM capability as a standard feature and fully independent electronic standby instrument system.
The base price of the PC-12 NG is $3.48 million, and the airplane sells for about $4 million in the executive configuration.

Skip to comments.Has anybody noticed that the GOP-E fights harder against conseratives than that Nazi guy?
Posted on 03/02/2012 6:53:50 AM PST by Halfmanhalfamazing
I was reading something regarding that big government national socialist running for office in Illinois, he's out there denying the holocaust, but all of that is fairly common knowledge, and it hit me:
You would think the GOP establishment would rush to get rid of him. But they're not(are they?), they're doing much more work to get rid of us conservatives instead.
What does that tell you about the establishment?
Arthur Jones, big government national socialist:
Yes, I have.
"What does that tell you about the establishment?"
It tells me we conservatives have no party.
We are adrift.
What does it tell you when McCain ran harder against his conservative rivals for the GOP, or even J.D. Hayworth for the US Senate Seat, than he did Obama!?
It'll probably be the same with Mitt R.
Compare and contrast McCain's polite treatment of Obama during the 2008 campaign with his savage treatment of his more-conservative primary opponent in the 2010 Senate campaign.
Good point, Papa.
and yes, we are adrift.. up the creek without a paddle.
No probably about it. He characterized criticizing Obama as setting your hair on fire.
Meanwhile he sets his hair on fire and screams about Santorum and Newt.
NOTICED? I have lived through it. FR is infected with party drones.
This all has a familiar ring to it...
I guess the GOP E is more in tune with National Socialists than Conservatism. Big surprise.
The GOP bigwigs have more in common with the Stalinists in the Democrat Party than with us grassroots conservatives.
OK, I give up....what is GOP-E?
It's been obvious for a long time that the GOP "moderates" are not seeing the Democrats as their opposition. The conservative base of their own party is the opposition they face. They hate us.
They would rather be a permanent minority wing of the Democrat Party than be a part of the opposition party. They are global socialists who despise the unruliness of freedom and it's uppity opposition.
McBackstabber has earned his name. They all had a cow when they saw conservatives disobey the command to keep silent while they sold the Nation out to Obama.
The question is, what do we do about them? They have ruled over the party from their pup tent like Stalin guarding the gulag. Nothing is beyond them in their war against conservatives because they don't care if they maintain a liberal minoirty party. Like a muslim with nukes the usual threat of mutual destruction does not effect them. They want one party ruling over a Nation with no constitution nor rule of law touching the "rulers."
Last time we moved against them we had a conservative leader with a popular agenda who knew how to recruit and run conservative candidates - Newt, et. al. The bullies all melted down in fury and many resigned like the old biddie from Maine just did. Conservatives are weak, only because we are scattered. We need Newt!
Art Jones has been trying to get elected in Illinois for 30 years, nobody pays any attention to him anymore.
Yes, it is familiar because Art Jones is the actual guy that they modeled that character after.
You learn something everyday on FR. Thanks.

text: Sorry to bother you guys with another one of these 'recommend me threads'. Going to the UK with my wife for two weeks, staying in South Hampton the majority of the time for work. Me and my wife are both 27, so looking to have a good time, but not necessarily just getting drunk at pubs/bars and hitting the clubs. This is my fist time going to Europe, I'm going for work but have a 4-day weekend (good Friday) where we get to travel and be tourists. We've already got hotels in London and Paris and Eurostar ticket to go to Paris. 1 full day and night in London 2 full days and nights in Paris then return to London Any off-beat non-touristy recommendations and some things to steer clear of? We're for sure going to the Louvre in Paris as my wife is set on that. Other than that, not really interested in many other art museums, although I'm sure there are many nice ones. Just not enough time. I don't know much about either cities, but I'd like to learn appreciate some of the history and historical landmarks etc. I obviously don't want to waste time since we don't have much, but I imagine it would be good to take some guided tour to get to cover the bulk of it. Thank you SF

The Shiva Dancers were the centre of attention at the Open Campus of the University of the West Indies (UWI) where they recently staged "A Gift to You," their first production for the year.
It was a rather delightful package of dance involving creativity, youth, maturity, fantasy, culture and lots of talent.
Presentations ranged from folk, to modern, to hip-hop to Caribbean, seasoned with other cultural influences.
With their innocent faces and adorable ensemble Shiva's Tiny Tots delighted the audience with numbers such as Tiny Rockers, Run the World (in collaboration with the Juniors), and Playtime.
The Dancing Divas were just as stellar in such numbers as Old School Reggae and Party, Rock and Roll. The Juniors caught the audience's attention in Hit the Road Jack, Sleep Over Games and Hip Hop.
There were touching solos by Aliek Knowles, who performed "To Love One's Self" to Christina Aguilera's "Beautiful," Vega Armstrong, who did a modern dance number to Ariana Grande's "Put Your Hearts Up"; Ariel Boulos-Callias presented Fergie's "Big Girls Don't Cry" in dance; and Karen Brooks rendered a prayer in dance.
Erricia Weste and Serenity Hunt presented a delightful piece entitled A Gift of True Friendship, while Tequon Hunte & Trent Luke performed A Futuristic Hip Hop duet. Other standouts included the Boom Shacalack number, involving Danijah Simon, Vega Armstrong and Berlyncia Fabian.
Providing comic relief in a rather entertaining skit which linked Old School Reggae to the New School were Gillian Williams and Errol Phillip. Their presentation incorporated dialogue and dance.
There were many other interesting numbers which took the audience on a journey of experiences.
Shiva School of Dance Director Tavia Hunte said the production is the company's way of bringing its talent to others in the community.
"We want to use the gift of dance to bless and uplift our space as we expand our creative energy into the universe," her comments in the programme read.
Hunte said she was overwhelmed with the outcome of the show.
" I'm quite happy with the perfomance of the students and I think it was a great start to a new year," she said. "The energy of the students is just so great. I'm happy that my work is reaching people … because one woman commented to me that she realised that every dance had a message to it. And that's what I want. I want my work to say something. It must have a significance."
The next production is planned for June.


text: Live Life Fully: Locked in a relationship power struggle? By Linda Arnold February 9, 2013 Story Share CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Do you feel like your major relationship is a struggle? Is it more about who "wins"?If so, you may be locked in a power struggle because of unresolved anger.Not that you scripted any of this. It's often a common pattern that sneaks up on couples. Before you know it, hurt feelings drag into long-term frustrations that can be damaging, even fatal, to a relationship."Anger that isn't dealt with acts like sulfuric acid, eating away at a couple's love and commitment," writes family counselor Gary Smalley, author of "Hidden Keys to Loving Relationships."And not just outward anger. Repressed anger plays out in passive-aggressive behavior.So, how did you get there?In any serious relationship, it often takes 12 months or longer for power issues to surface. During the "honeymoon period," your partner can do no wrong.If unmet expectations and anger haven't been dealt with, though, a battle may break out for who's "in control."Spenders and saversBill is a "spender," and Sally's a "saver." They've been married for a year and have unresolved frustrations.When they receive an unexpected inheritance, Bill picks out a new home theater system and golf clubs; Sally plans to put half the money in savings and retire their credit-card debt.Always before, Sally has said nothing. But now, she feels compelled to take a stand.And then a power struggle begins. Unless they talk things through, Bill will fight consciously and unconsciously to protect his "right" to spend money. And Sally will fight just as hard for financial accountability.If you're having power struggles in your relationship, here's a three-level process that can tip you off to its deadly presence.Level One: Issues are constantly raised, but never resolved. When you're locked in a power struggle, everything becomes an issue. Because Sally is angry with Bill for "blowing" so much money, she starts picking at little things -- nagging and criticizing. A wet towel on a chair gets an "8" on the Richter scale. Bringing home white bread instead of wheat gets blown into a life-and-death issue.Level Two: As problems pile up, couples drop the issues and start picking on the other person.Instead of focusing on wet towels and wheat bread, the couple begins attacking one another:"If he was sensitive, like Kathy's husband ..." or "If she had a brain in her body ..."Now the battle heats up over who's in charge and who's going to change. Being "right" trumps everything.Level Three: The final option -- attacking the relationship. "If we're constantly dealing with issues, and he or she is this kind of person, what am I doing in this relationship? I might as well get out."As soon as the relationship starts being questioned, out goes security -- one of the crucial pillars of an intimate marriage. And then every issue jumps immediately from Level One (unresolved issues) to Level Three (questioning the relationship). Closing someone's spiritEven unknowingly, we can offend people by what we say or do -- closing their spirit. Likewise, people can offend us by their hurtful actions and words. The disharmony in our relationship can even be the evidence of our own closed spirit.When we think someone is devaluing us, it sparks anger. Turned inward, this anger causes deep resentment or depression.When we act in a way that devalues another person, guilt ties us in emotional knots.When we feel someone is discarding us for another person or something else, rejection creates deep pain.Here are some of the ways we can close someone's spirit:Criticizing unjustlyUsing a harsh toneTaking them for grantedDismissing their needs as unimportantMaking jokes about their shortcomingsMaking sarcastic commentsPutting them down in front of othersRefusing to admit we're wrongWhen a person's spirit is closing, an uncomfortable awareness exists -- a "yuckiness" that permeates the entire relationship.A closed spirit can result in:An argumentative attitudeResistance to agree on anythingAvoidanceDisrespecting the other's opinionA decline in warm or romantic feelingsOpening a closed spiritHow can we break free from this killing cycle? Here are five keys:1. Acknowledge that the other person is hurting, and admit when you have been offensive.2. Be gentle. Demonstrate tenderheartedness.3. Understand what the other person has gone through. Listen carefully. What has caused the anger?4. Touch the other person gently on the hand or arm.5. Ask for forgiveness.Be persistent. The walls won't come down right away. It may take repeated sincere attempts to make a dent.Start with a minor conflict. Ask the other person to rate the severity of the problem on a scale from 1 to 10. And work these five keys. Next take a more sensitive area and work through it.Set your goal on opening that person's spirit with compassionate statements. "I want to stop offending you, and I know you don't want to continue like this." "I love you, and I'm committed to you." "Do you think I really understand how you're hurting?"While these tools are designed for primary relationships, they can also work in other arenas (siblings and close friends, for example) with some tweaking.Is it time to give up the struggle?Linda Arnold, M.A., MBA, is a certified wellness instructor, counselor and chairwoman/CEO of The Arnold Agency, a marketing communications firm with offices in West Virginia, Montana and Washington, D.C.

In what has to qualify as a dog-bites-man story, the authoritarian regime of Venezuela has banned private gun ownership http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-latin-america-18288430. This is in advance of what should be, with any luck, the last election campaign for dictator Hugo Chavez, who is terminally ill with cancer.
Venezuela has a stupendous murder rate of 49 per 100,000 population, which is almost 10 times the U.S. rate., and well ahead of other dangerous south-of-the-border spots like Mexico (18) and Colombia (33). The murder rate has vastly increased since Chavez took power in 1999, thanks to his politicization of the police and judiciary and his arming of political allies.
Civilian disarmament, of course, will mean Chavez' legions will retain the upper hand against any opponents after his death, perpetuating, he hopes, his "Bolivarian revolution." The fruits of that revolution have, of course, mainly been association with Cuba, Iran and Russia, the squandering of vast oil wealth, repression and violent crime. In that context, a gun ban was about as surprising as the sparks flying upward.

DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA -- I switched from the ACLU health benefit plan to NALC's on 1/1/16. On 1/2/16, I filled out their Health Risk Assessment for which I opted to receive as my reward membership in the CignaPlus Dental Savings Plan. When I didn't get any cards, I began calling NALC, who switched me over to CareAllies, who switched me over to CignaPlus (which had the only helpful customer service of the three). After being told for several weeks that the cards were forthcoming, I was finally told after 4 weeks that I hadn't selected the Dental Savings Plan as my reward, but a CVS gift card.
To begin with, the website for the Health Assessment tells you that, if you have self-only insurance, only the Dental Savings Plan can be selected as your reward. Second, why would I have been calling to find out when my Dental Savings Plan cards would arrive if I had chosen a CVS gift card? Third, if I hadn't received a CVS gift card yet, why couldn't any error on anyone's part been corrected by Customer Service? Can't wait for open season to get away from deceitful practices like this and back with APWU.
CALIFORNIA -- Since CIGNA took over management of NALC, my health care seems more like an HMO. Referrals for an MRI take an inordinate amount of time, my doctor's decision to order an MRI have been questioned, and the site selected by CIGNA is considered sub-par by two of my doctors. The site chosen for the MRI by CIGNA is a site available to people without insurance in California and the care is considered less than ideal by doctors in my area. Instead of choosing a site from the Preferred Provider List, one must now call into CIGNA/Med Solutions, speak with the person handling your case, and then choose from a list that he/she provides.
Then, instead of being able to contact the MRI site (or any other site) myself, I must wait on the line while my "handler" calls the chosen site, speaks with the appointment desk, and then allows me to confirm a time and date for the MRI. Furthermore, I was transferred 3 times within the CIGNA/Medsolutions labyrinth before I actually spoke to the "handler" (my term). I received a letter in the mail today confirming that the MRI would be covered, however, the site mentioned in the letter was not the site where the appointment was made.
Also, the MRI ordered by CIGNA was for the thoracic area – not the correct area!! I needed a cervico/lumbar MRI. So now the process must begin again and, needless to say, treatment is being delayed because the diagnostics are being delayed. Can't wait for July when I become eligible for Medicare. I was dreading this transition, but now I'm prepared. It can't get much worse.
WASHINGTON, DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA -- 1 out of every 3 prescriptions has to be justified by my doctor before NALC will cover them. And when my doctor wants to try different dosages my prescriptions are rejected unless I use Caremark, a mail order company. I do not have time to send in a prescription and wait 10 days to get it filled. I'm currently spending 3-4 hours every 2 weeks on the phone, Faxing letters, and running to my doctors to pick up letters of justification. NALC fights 1/3 of my doctors' plans, causes significant delays in my medication. If you have a choice you should NOT choose NALC (CIGNA) for your insurance!

Palermo battle Gunners for Alvarez
Palermo are pessimistic about their chances of signing Velez Sarsfield midfielder Ricardo Alvarez due to the interest of Arsenal and Malaga.
• 'Pastore worth more than Sanchez'
Alvarez, 23, is said to have attracted the interest of clubs including Inter Milan, Roma and Sevilla with Argentinean champions Velez demanding a fee of €12 million for his services.
Palermo may need to sign a replacement for Argentina playmaker Javier Pastore if any club is willing to meet his €50 million asking price, but club president Maurizio Zamparini believes Arsenal and Malaga may be better placed to secure his signature.
Zamparini told Corriere dello Sport: "We are very interested in Alvarez, but it will be difficult to bring him to Palermo considering that there are other clubs like Arsenal and Malaga interested in him."

TPM Café (Talking Points Memo), December 28, 2008
See article on original website
Virtually the whole economics profession somehow managed to overlook the largest housing bubble in the history of the world. Remarkably, few, if any, economists were fired or even demoted for their extraordinary incompetence. Unlike dishwashers and factory workers, economists are not held accountable for their performance.
This is disturbing not only for its moral implications, but more importantly because the lack of accountability means that economists have no incentive to ever start thinking for themselves rather than just repeating the conventional wisdom in the profession. After saying silly things about the housing market for much of the last decade, the same crew is now saying equally silly things about the value of the dollar and the budget deficit.
The housing bubble deniers are now warning that large budget deficits could send the dollar plummeting. These warnings stem from the same of sort of failure to understand basic economics that caused most economists to miss the housing bubble. The dollar will undoubtedly fall at some point in the not very distant future, but the reason is not the budget deficit, the reason is the trade deficit.
The logic is very simple. The value of the dollar declines against other currencies when the supply of dollars on international markets exceeds demand. The budget deficit does not directly put dollars on international markets. It simply means that the U.S. government must borrow to make up the gap between its spending and its revenue. This borrowing can be met by printing money (the Fed buys government bonds) or by borrowing in private credit markets.
Printing money will have no direct effect on the value of the dollar in international currency markets. It should help keep interest rates in the U.S. lower than they would be if the Fed didn't print money, but that doesn't mean that the dollar will necessarily fall in value. Japan's central bank printed enormous amounts of money over the last decade yet its main concern is that the yen is rising in value.
If the government borrows in credit markets, then this should raise interest rates, which would more likely raise than lower the value of the dollar. The basic story is that at higher interest rates, investors will want to hold more U.S. financial assets. This will increase the demand for dollars in international currency markets, putting upward pressure on the value of the dollar. (Economists used this story in the 80s to explain how the budget deficits of that era lead to the trade deficit. Unfortunately, few economists seem to remember the conventional wisdom from 15 years ago.)
In short, the economists who claim that the large budget deficits will lead to a fall in the value of the dollar have no more of clue than when they were denying the existence of a housing bubble two or three years ago.
Of course the dollar will fall, but this would be the case even if the U.S. were running a budget surplus. The reason is that we are running a large trade deficit and have been for some time. With a trade deficit between $600 billion and $700 billion (4-5 percent of GDP), we are throwing hundreds of billions of dollars on world currency markets each year.
In the past, foreign central banks (most importantly China's) had bought up dollars in an effort to keep down the value of the currency and thereby sustain their export market in the United States. Since they have gotten a very low return on a currency (the dollar) that has been declining in value, these central banks are effectively paying people in the United States to buy their country's output.
It is unlikely that foreign central banks will continue to buy up large amounts of dollars indefinitely, since they can actually pay anyone to buy their stuff, including their own people. When foreign central banks stop subsidizing their exports to the United States, the dollar will fall to a level that will bring its trade deficit more closely into balance.
In the end, the dollar will fall, but the reason is that the dollar was too high. The decision to run a high dollar policy by Robert Rubin in the late 90s helped to create the imbalances that lay behind both the stock and housing bubble. It was a short-term policy that must inevitably be reversed.
While the conventional wisdom in the economics profession may attribute the eventual fall in the dollar to the budget deficit, economists who think for a living know that the key problem was an over-valued dollar. The country has relied on the conventional wisdom among economists long enough.

Judge says state won't pay for ex-Durham DA's appeal
Posted July 10, 2012
Durham, N.C. — A Superior Court judge has ruled that the state won't cover the legal expenses of ousted Durham County District Attorney Tracey Cline, who is appealing her removal from office.
Superior Court Judge Robert Hobgood said in his June 26 order that the state "has never funded attorney representation for the appealing party," and that there isn't any money to pay for her attorney anyway.
Defense attorney James Van Camp said Tuesday that his office hasn't withdrawn from Cline's case in light of Hobgood's ruling.
Hobgood ordered in March that Cline be removed as district attorney after holding a four-day inquiry into her conduct. He ruled that she had "brought the office of the Durham County District Attorney and the entire Durham County justice system into disrepute" through her repeated public criticisms of Superior Court Judge Orlando Hudson.
Cline alleged in court filings that Hudson was biased against her and her office and asked to have him barred from handling criminal cases in Durham County.
In the lengthy motions, she said the judge has "the reprobate mind of a monarch," said his conduct involved "moral turpitude, dishonesty and corruption," that his actions "raped" crime victims and "kidnapped the rights of victims and their families" and that his only goal was "to demean the district attorney at all costs."
Two other judges found her complaints to be groundless.
The North Carolina State Bar also is seeking disciplinary action against Cline for her attacks on Hudson. A hearing has been scheduled for October.

Rosa Maria Newman, 49, of Santa Rosa and Michael Lloyd Carlson, 35, of San Rafael are being held at Marin County Jail in lieu of $50,000 bail. A plea hearing is pending.
The alleged crime occurred at about 5:30 p.m. Sunday in the 700 block of Francisco Boulevard East, said San Rafael police Cpl. Justin Graham. The bicyclist said a man and woman approached him while he was riding through a parking lot and said they had a radio to sell.
When the bicyclist said he did not want to buy it, the suspects grabbed him, punched him and stole the money, Graham said. The victim, who is in his 20s, called police from a cellphone, and police arrested Newman and Carlson nearby on Bellam Boulevard.

I am struggling to find a pharmacy/shop that sells small bottles of glacial Acetic acid. I use it in my royal icing.
Does anyone know where I can find it in the UK? I can order it on-line, but the delivery charges are ridiculous!
Any help, much appreciated.
Go to your local college or university chemistry department. They usually have a stockroom, or ask a professor for help. Explain what you need it for.
Ask them to help you buy a 500mL bottle of glacial acetic acid, HPLC grade. This is perfectly clean for food use. Most chemical supply houses accept personal credit cards when the goods are delivered to a laboratory. You might even get a significant discount when it is delivered to an educational institution. The delivery charges will be based on a flat fee, or they might be waived because educational institutions receive regular deliveries by truck.
You want to get a sealed bottle, do not ask for some to be poured from a larger jug. It will come sealed into a plastic bag which you should save for storage at home. When you pour this stuff into your smaller bottle, do it outdoors. Use a plastic funnel and wear the same disposable gloves that you would use for food handling. Wear eye googles with splash shields (the kind sold for painting).
Keep the 500mL bottle in a cool place in a sealed plastic bin. It will last 10 years at least.

Despite reading through the wikipedia page for Glacial Acetic Acid, I still don't get why you would use it in royal icing. What does it do?
Or vinegar or cream of tartar.

I Want a Huge Butt. Can This Be Done?
How Much Fat Can Be Transferred to the Buttocks Area?
Doctor Answers 3
The maximum augmentation with a Brazilian Butt Lift
Technically the limits vary by individual and depend on how much fat your buttocks can accomodate before excessive pressure is created and the fat survival is compromised. In some individuals this may be as little as 250 cc and in others it may exceed 1000 cc. The results depend not only on the fat transferred but ALSO on how much fat survives. This can vary with each individual as well.

The bigger the better.
How big can your Butt be made?
I always explain to my patients that there are 3 limitations as to how bug your butt will be after Brazilian Butt Lift surgery. 1) How much fat you give me to work with. The more you give, the more your but gets.
2) How much your buttocks holds. The depends on your frame size as well as skin tone.
And probably most importantly, 3) How much fat survives. This can vary from patient to patient. Patients who follow my instructions get a higher percentage of fat survival than those who don't. Some patients who want it really large have it done a second time.

Let's say this for Archbishop Charles Chaput—yes, he's tried to push the Philadelphia church into the GOP's corner, and yes, that's kind of irritating, but it's pretty forgivable when you compare him to his predecessors, Anthony Bevilacqua and Justin Rigali, and their hideous handling of the church's sex abuse scandals. So far as we can tell, Chaput's record hasn't been blotted by that controversy. But Chaput hasn't risen to the rank of cardinal—and Rigali, who is still alive, retains that rank. Which means Cardinal Rigali—poor old compromised Cardinal Rigali—will get to help decide who becomes the next leader of the Catholic Church, and Chaput won't. [Daily News]

NEW YORK (Jun. 13)
Two national Jewish organizations are proceeding with plans to send delegations to demonstrate in Skokie on June 25, despite new uncertainties as to whether the tiny Chicago Nazi Party will carry out its much-litigated march that day.
Reaffirmations of the plans were given to the Jewish Telegraphic Agency by Eli Zborowski, past president of the American Federation of Jewish Fighters, Camp Inmates and Nazi Victims, and Col. Erwin Ziff, national executive director of the Jewish War Veterans.
The officials made their comments in response to a statement last night in Chicago by Richard Tedor, the Nazi group's deputy leader, that if the group could march in Marquette Park, in a Black area of Chicago, the Nazis would cancel the Skokie march. Tedor made his comment after the U.S. Supreme Court refused yesterday to delay the Nazi march in Skokie.
Skokie officials had applied to the Supreme Court for a stay of the march until the court could rule on an effort to block the march permanently in Skokie, home of 7000 Holocaust survivors. The court late yesterday handed down a one-sentence order denying the town's request for a temporary stay until the town could appeal a federal appeals court ruling holding unconstitutional three ordinances adopted by Skokie after the Nazis announced their plans to march in May, 1977. (See related story P. 3.)
The order was issued by Chief Justice Warren E. Burger. Two justices, Harry A. Blackmun and William H. Rehnquist, dissented. The dissenting justices said the appeals court ruling declaring the Skokie ordinances unconstitutional was "in some tension" with a 1952 Supreme Court ruling, Beauharnais v. Illinois.
In that case, the court sustained the conviction of a man who had distributed anti-Black leaflets in the streets of Chicago. The man was convicted under a Chicago ordinance barring the distribution of material defaming any group. One of the Skokie ordinances similarly bars the distribution of "hate literature." Justice Blackmun, in his dissent, said the 1952 Supreme Court ruling "has never been overruled or formally limited in any way."
The invalidated ordinances require posting of $350,000 in liability and property insurance, banned marches by persons in para-military regalia, and the distribution of defamatory material.
Zborowski told the JTA his organization was urging Jewish organizations to send delegations to Skokie to demonstrate on June 25 even if the Nazis call off their march. However, spokesmen for two other Jewish groups planning counter-demonstrations expressed uncertainty as to what would happen if the Nazis definitely canceled their march.
The spokesman for the Public Affairs Committee (PAC) of the Jewish United Fund of Chicago, which is coordinating plans for a " massive but peaceful " counter-demonstration, said PAC officials had not decided what they would do if the Nazis canceled their march. Ziff said no decision had been made for "that contingency," and that the JWV was going ahead with plans to send "around 10,000 members to Skokie to demonstrate June 25.
The possibilities of a Nazi march in Marquette Park involve a hearing on June 20 in federal district court in Chicago on whether the Nazis have to post a bond to get a marching permit for the park. A year ago, a federal court judge in Chicago held that Chicago Park District regulations requiring a $350,000 bond were unconstitutional because so large a bond would inhibit demonstrations by small groups.
The American Civil Liberties Union, which has represented the Chicago Nazis in the various court actions, obtained a reduction in the bond to $60,000, then, according to the JUF spokesman, decided to go to federal court to obtain a ruling on what size bond would be reasonable.
Zborowski said his organization planned to send between 50 and 100 people to Skokie, regardless of what the Nazis did. He repeated his appeal to other Jewish organizations to send delegations whether or not the Nazis marched because Skokie has become "the symbol" of resistance to contemporary Nazis.
Ziff said a meeting of department commanders will be held in Washington on June 20 to "firm up" JWV plans to send demonstrators to Skokie. Last April, the JWV sent mailgrams to all 100,000 JWV members asking them to prepare to go to Skokie.
Ziff said that Herman Moses, the JWV national commander, is a Chicago attorney and has been "deeply involved" in efforts by the Chicago Jewish community to deal with the Nazi march.

Hi all!
That's right, I am happy to announce the addition of two more girls to our family, a total shocker as we were all expecting at least one boy! My DS and DH are really outnumbered now!
I had contractions on and off throughout Labour Day at 38w2d and spent a few hours relaxing in the bath. DH came in around 8:30 and timed a few contractions to be about 2-3 minutes apart so he called the midwife and we decided to start getting ready to go to the hospital. We arrived at the hospital around 9:20 and then spent a ridiculous amount of time assessing me...they couldn't decide which baby was presenting (who cares? They're both vertex!) and then there was a really stupid conversation between the OB and the resident because they weren't sure if they were seeing one head or two (pretty sure we would have noticed sooner if there was only one head in there...) finally they decided to admit me. I was 7 cm dilated. I agreed to a heplock but declined everything else and managed to stay in an L&D room the whole time. Unfortunately I spent most of my labour in bed on my back as every other position got the EFM's going crazy and wasn't working. I reached 10cm just after 1am but didnt feel the urge to push so the OB broke baby B's water and she was born at 1:44am weighing 6 lbs 15 oz. I had a big contraction right after that brought baby A down but also caused a big drop in her HR so the OB broke her water as well and she was born at 1:49am weighing 6 lbs 4 oz.
After I delivered the placenta I was losing a lot of blood and ended up getting oxytocin (and then more oxytocin) via IV and then the OB had to manually remove some blood clots which was the worst pain through the whole thing.
I got to hold both babies skin- to-skin and nurse them for the first hour and a half, which I never got to do with my other girls and they both latched right away. We came home the same afternoon and although there's not much sleep happening, I am just soaking in all the love and affection in my house! The girls are just fascinated with their baby sisters and my DS is a little awestruck by his 4 little sisters I think!

Murad Energizing Pomegranate Lip Protector SPF 15
Murad Energizing Pomegranate Lip Protector SPF 15 Reviews
Murad's Magic Balm . . .I lamented to a friend that my lips kept chapping and peeling, no matter what I did. The situation had gotten so bad that there were tiny cuts in my lips; lipstick application just seemed to exaggerate the situation, but I never leave the house without color on my lips (I could easily pass for a ghost). I was absolutely miserable. She seemed relaxed on the phone, told me to rest easy, and not ...read moreto worry. I suspected she was up to something; a few days later, an envelope arrived at our home, with a tube of Murad's "Energizing Pomegranate Lip Protector SPF 15" and a note saying, "Here's an end to your problems." I love Murad products in general, and I especially liked the pretty sheer pink color of this balm and the wonderful smell. I learned early that a little goes a long way. It is not heavy or very glossy but does leave a layer of protection on my lips in a pretty, subtle rose shade. The layer stays on for several hours, even through eating and drinking. The real beauty of this product--and the reason why my friend sent it to me--is that it doesn't need to be continually reapplied. Pomegranate is a powerful antioxidant with its own natural sunscreen. It is actually a heavy-duty treatment. Dead, peeling cells are exfoliated from lips, and new ones are brought to the surface. It's not a "Catch 22"--apply, reapply, apply, reapply. After several days of using it, I found that I didn't actually need it any longer. However, I still continue to use it because I love the smell, the feel, and the shade. Just a word of advice: Since you're applying it to your mouth, use it on a clean finger so that the product is not contaminated in any way. It's another winner from Murad! — 4 years, 5 months agoGigiSD | 1102 reviews

MURAD ENERGIZING POMEGRANATE LIP PROTECTOR SPF 15I got this and tried it and it was fine. My daughter has had problems with sore lips and even had cream from the doctors, which didn't resolve her problems long term. She has taken this off me now and she uses it every day and she hasn't had any more sore lips. She thinks it's great and so do I. It also has an SFP which many lip creams do not have! I love this product. Although it is rather pricey...read more, there is a LOT of product, and no matter how much I use it, the package looks full! (I've had it for 4 months now and have been applying every day.) Although people are saying that it looks like petroleum jelly on your lips, it really doesn't. You only need to put a thin layer of this on your lips and the glossiness stays on for around 2 hours. This isn't like MAC lipglass where the gloss is incredibly shiny and shimmery. This is very sheer and after the gloss is gone, it leaves your lips very moisturized and with a pink tint! I love this Murad product to DEATH. I highly recommend it. :) You won't regret! It is more of a gloss than a balm as it is very shiny and pretty. Gives my lips a light pinkish sheen. It is not at all lasting, even for a lip gloss - that suprised me actually. The taste is great and I love the fact it has an SPF in it so this will be great for spring and summer. It is pretty tacky and sticky. It just doesn't do a whole bunch. It doesn't moisturize any better than an actual lip gloss, nor does it treat chapped lips like a lip treatment should. Your lips need to be in perfect shape in order for this to look decent on. Packaging is cute and it has an angled tip. It has a pretty sheen to it and smells nice, but is a bit sticky. — 5 years, 5 months agomihshelle | 182 reviews

Florida Senate panel advances bill to speed foreclosures
TALLAHASSEE — The state's mortgage foreclosure process would be accelerated and streamlined under a proposal cleared by a Senate panel on Monday. Critics say a faster process will infringe on the rights of homeowners who already are abused by banks and attorneys gaming the system with questionable — and sometimes outright phony — paperwork. Mortgages are hard to verify when "they've been sold around the world multiple times," said Deb Lilley of Port Charlotte, who married her husband while he was in the middle of a foreclosure. "That's why they keep having to manufacture documents." The Senate Judiciary Committee cleared the bill (SB 1890) by a 5-2 party line vote. Similar bills are pending in the House.Sen. Jack Latvala, a Clearwater Republican, said foreclosure was a "dark cloud" hanging over the Sunshine State. He mentioned a backlog of 368,000 foreclosure cases in the state's courts. The collapsed real estate market resulted in millions of foreclosures across the country that hit courts like a rogue wave. One recent survey showed Florida has about a quarter of the nation's foreclosures. But attorneys general offices and other authorities have discovered many instances of erroneous and fraudulent filings. A $26 billion settlement between the states and the nation's five biggest banks was made final about two weeks ago. Paperwork in many foreclosures was the product of "robo-signers," people hired to sign documents in assembly-line fashion, often without knowing what's in them. Such documents included affidavits that a bank actually owns the mortgage on a property being foreclosed when the original paperwork can't be found. Other civil and criminal investigations have resulted in the collapse of two major foreclosure law firms and the temporary stoppage of many lenders' foreclosure filings. Lynn Drysdale, a Jacksonville Area Legal Aid attorney who represents foreclosure clients, said the problem isn't with the process, but with the practitioners. "There are law firms handling tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of (foreclosure) cases, and they don't have their documents in a row," said Drysdale, who also chairs the Florida Bar's Consumer Protection Law Committee. Among other things, Latvala's bill: Consumer advocates, however, were alarmed over other provisions, including ones aimed at condominium and homeowner associations. Those who are owed dues can file requests for a final foreclosure judgment to get what is owed without an initial hearing. Another section provides a speedy process for a final foreclosure judgment if the homeowner does not participate in the legal process and the home was abandoned. There's a list of requirements to be met for a home to be classified as abandoned. There are concerns that homes of people on long vacations or work assignments, or especially those on military duty, would be accidentally found to be abandoned.

On the Road to Rome, With Twists and Turns
Studies show the number of Americans who switch religious affiliation more than once is on the rise.
| Posted 4/3/13 at 10:09 AM
An avowed atheist, Devin Rose entertained thoughts of suicide before turning to God.
Rose was out of options in his battle against severe social anxiety and depression. He saw a therapist. He tried breathing exercises. He blocked out negative thoughts. None of it worked.
"When I hit the low point in college and was considering suicide, I thought of God because I had good Christian friends who showed me through their lives that they had hope and joy — two virtues I was completely missing," Rose said. "So God presented himself to me as an alternative, even though it seemed like a long shot that he was real."
Rose's search for a virtuous life of faith would lead to Catholicism. But, in retrospect, the road to Rome had an unexpected detour through a Baptist church.
Today, Rose speaks to two conversions: from atheism to Christianity and from Protestantism to Catholicism. His story is emblematic of a small-but-perhaps-growing group of Catholics: those who have had more than one conversion experience.
The data is limited, but what is available hints that Americans repeatedly change their religious affiliation. A 2009 Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life report offered a narrow window into the trend: Among those who started out with no religious affiliation — a catch-all encompassing atheists and non-practicing believers — 21% had made three or more religious changes.
Serial Switching
Such findings are echoed in the 2008-2009 "U.S. Congregational Life Survey" by the Presbyterian Church U.S.A., which found that 22% of practicing Catholics, Protestants, other Christians and Jews switch faith communities at least once. "Serial switching" — the phenomenon of those who change more than once — is on the rise, according to the companion report, "A Field Guide to U.S. Congregations."
"Switching has become more common in the United States, with larger numbers of people engaging in 'serial switching' — participation in three or more different faith communities during adulthood," write the authors of the "Field Guide."
Catholics who experienced several conversions describe their journeys as earnest searches for the truth guided by the grace of God.
"I can only say that grace tipped the scales. It was not any reasoned argument for God's existence or intellectual reason. Rather, I felt something from outside of myself moving me toward belief in God, as I continued to pray and read the Scriptures," Rose said of his initial conversion to Christianity.
He continued searching the Scriptures after being baptized in a Baptist church. One passage led him to question his newfound Protestant worldview: John 17, where Christ prays that all of his followers would be one. Near his church, there was a Presbyterian church, which drove home for Rose the problem of Christian disunity.
He also realized Catholics had seven more books in their Bible than his Protestant one did. "The Holy Spirit would only lead Christians to the same canon, so one of the two groups must not have listened correctly," Rose said. "This fact led me to dig into the reasons why Protestants had the canon that they did and also whether the Catholic Church had stronger support for its canon."
Rose's probe into the authority of Catholicism broadened into a full exploration of its theological claims. Two things won him over: the theology of the body and the lives of the saints. St. Francis of Assisi struck Rose as a saint who had lived his life "radically for Christ," with extraordinary humility and love, and he was "blown away" by the great faith of St. Thérèse of Lisieux.
"These two saints in particular confirmed for me that I needed to seriously investigate the Catholic Church's claims," Rose said.
Spiritual Wandering
For another Catholic convert, Greta Ernst, the search for a spiritual home led her around the world.
Apart from attendance at a Protestant church that was cut short when her family moved from Boston to New Hampshire, Ernst had little religious formation as a child. As a teenager, she cultivated a roaming interest in other cultures, especially their religious foundations. She studied Sufism, Hinduism, Wicca and Druidism on her own in high school.
"I wanted to travel eventually," Ernst recalls. "I thought it was a good way to learn about other cultures: to look at their language and religion."
Her interest in Eastern religion eventually surpassed the others. But her spiritual journey was put on hold while Ernst moved on with the rest of her life, starting a career as a police dispatcher.
Her interest in Eastern spirituality was rekindled when a newspaper ad for a tai chi class caught her eye. Ernst decided to go and was immediately hooked by the calming effect of the ancient martial art. She thought she had found the "piece of the puzzle that was missing" in her life.
At the invitation of the class instructor, Ernst traveled to China to study under a tai chi master. "I felt a great sense of peace there — more than I had ever felt in my entire life," Ernst said.
After a few years, she went back. "I realized that I was being called to settle into a spiritual path," Ernst said. That path was Taoism, a Chinese philosophical and religious tradition that has many similarities with Buddhism. (Fittingly, the "Tao" is often translated "way" or "path.")
Ernst stayed in New Hampshire, becoming a tai chi instructor. Then, a second invitation turned her world upside down again. A friend asked if she would join him at a Stations of the Cross service at a local parish. Ernst, then in her early 40s, reluctantly agreed to accompany him.
At the service, a priest asked everyone there to express to Jesus in silent prayer why they had come. "I said, 'You know what? I have absolutely no idea why I'm here, but I really hope you're not offended by my presence,'" Ernst recalls.
She immediately felt a hand resting on her back — but no one was behind her.
That supportive hand gently pushed her to take a step forward: Her friend extended another invitation — to attend RCIA classes with him. Ernst went along, initially viewing the classes as little more than an educational exercise. "I kind of rode with it," she said.
By the end — and to her great surprise — Ernst was ready to be received into the Church. Now she sees God's purpose behind her lifelong spiritual wandering. Without Taoism, particularly its emphasis on letting go of anger and hatred towards others, she says she "never could have grasped unconditional love."
Searching for Identity
Other journeys to the Church have more twists than turns in them. So it was for Steven Nelson, a graphic designer based in Los Angeles, who converted from Protestantism to Catholicism. But his was not a simple one-time conversion. Instead, Nelson's spiritual path was deeply shaped by his relationship with a third faith tradition: Judaism.
Nelson was raised in an evangelical Protestant family with a mother who was of Jewish descent. Her Jewish identity was something she instilled in her children, something that became a point of pride for him, Nelson said. From his earliest years, he recalls church attendance with the "added flavor of the occasional Jewish ritual."
"I felt that I could identify with Jesus more than most people because I shared in the same ethnic heritage as he," Nelson said. "I would consider myself a 'fulfilled Jew,' rather than a straight-up 'Christian.'"
As he grew older, however, Nelson's attachment to his Jewish identity intensified. He abandoned Sundays for observance of the Jewish Sabbath. He sported a yarmulke and the traditional tzitzit undershirt. He recited Hebrew prayers and marked Jewish feasts. He still believed that Jesus was the Messiah, but he rejected the mainstream Christian image of Jesus for not being "Jewish enough."
"I was a disciple of Rabbi Yeshua Ha'Mashiach, not Jesus Christ, the Son of God," Nelson said, although, at the time, he says that he nonetheless would still have considered himself a Christian. (Ha'Mashiach means 'the Anointed,' the Hebrew counterpart to the Greek word christos, or Christ.)
This intensely Jewish blend of Christianity proved untenable. For Nelson, the problem became one of authority: Who had the "final say" on what was and was not "authentic Judaism"? In biblical times, such authority would have rested with the chair of Moses in the Sanhedrin, but nowadays, "every rabbi" has his own answer, Nelson said.
This question led to a second: Which elements of Judaism could he observe while "maintaining fidelity to Christ"?
"This left me in a confusion of sorts. I was looking for a Christianity that was in continuity with my Judaism, but I was getting mixed messages on all sides as to what that should look like," Nelson said. "Catholicism provided the answer."
He credits Mary with helping him to make the final step. "As soon as I encountered her in the Catholic Church, I knew I needed to become her child," said Nelson, who now blogs about her at The Ever Blessed.
He says others can learn from his story, even if their circumstances are different.
"The sincere pursuit of truth, in my experience, seems to land us in places we never expected. This was scary for me because I had an image of a destination in my head that was very particular, and the Catholic Church was far from it," Nelson said. "I created Christ in my own image, and I wrapped that image in pride. It took 'denying myself' and 'taking up the cross' to see that I was wrong and to see that the Catholic Church was the house of Truth himself."
Rose, a software engineer from Austin, Texas, and the author of If Protestantism Is True: The Reformation Meets Rome, says the universal lesson of his conversion is that "reason can help us discover the truth in its fullness."
"So, wherever you find yourself, whatever you believe, do not be afraid to examine the reasons behind your beliefs," Rose said. "Test them, read both sides of the argument, and, above all, implore God to help you know him more and more deeply, in spirit and in truth. He will answer that prayer every time."
Ernst encourages those hoping to learn from her story to be open to the miraculous in their lives. "Jesus still works miracles, and they're all around us," Ernst said. "And sometimes it's us."
She added, "It's never too late for anyone."

When Remy Gervais turned 40, fresh on the heels of a painful divorce, four separate friends gave her copies of Elizabeth Gilbert's bestselling memoir, "Eat Pray Love."
The message came through loud and clear: It was time for reinvention. But, Gervais said, "I couldn't afford a year-long exploration to reclaim me." The author talks about the film version of her memoir.
Gilbert's juggernaut, the Oprah-endorsed tome, subtitled "One Woman's Search for Everything in Italy, India and Indonesia," has lived on the New York Times bestseller list for 180-plus weeks.

AUSTRALIA'S most experienced sports medico is furious that Sydney's AFL champions are under suspicion like every other team.
The Swans' magnificent 2012 premiership triumph has been stained by the drug scandal that has rocked Australian sport.
"The Swans won the premiership last year fair and square - they're as clean a club as you will ever see,'' Nathan Gibbs told The Daily Telegraph.
"But this slur on all the footy codes takes the gloss off the premiership. It tarnishes the people who are doing the right thing.
"What the Swans do well is their training, coaching and preparation. It's outstanding.
"Suddenly they're saying everyone's on drugs which means the best team in the comp, which the Swans were last year, and people doubt how good they really were.
"The Melbourne Storm are the same too.
"We have done everything correctly. It takes the gloss of the achievements and that's what is disappointing."
Dr Gibbs has been a sports medico for 30 years in rugby league and AFL.
He also played for South Sydney and the Kangaroos and has seen everything except for the performance enhancing drugs that are apparently so rife.
"The sports science, training and medical programs that exist now get players into excellent condition," the Swans doctor said.
"We've (the Swans) spent seven years travelling the world visiting all the best rugby, soccer and U.S football codes looking at their programs. We use the best practices from what we've seen overseas in all the major sports."
Gibbs believes only a very small proportion of borderline players would be tempted to use performance enhancing drugs.
"It's those trying to to catch up on their lack of fitness, or lack of ability or lack of whatever to try to make the grade," he said.
"I'm talking borderline players trying to get a contract who mightn't be quite good enough.
"I doubt very much if the best players in the best teams are doing anything."
Gibbs is the latest voice in a Australian sport to speak out over the against the claims from Australian Crime Commission boss John Lawler that his agency had uncovered widespread doping in Australian sport, linked to organised crime.

The Necessary Death of Charlie Countryman
DIRECTOR: Fredrik Bond
CAST: Shia LaBeouf, Melissa Leo, Ion Caramitru, Evan Rachel Wood, Mads Mikkelsen, Til Schweiger, Evan Rachel Wood
RUNNING TIME: 102 minutes
Director Fredrik Bond makes a promising film debut with this crime-drama romance that eschews strict genre classification.
Despite the frequent violence and occasional nudity, there's plenty to appeal to the date crowd and crime-movie adherents, as well as fans of the two leads.
Introduced in voiceover by an unseen Narrator (John Hurt), Charlie Countryman (LaBeouf) is a bit of a lost soul and the death of his mother Katie (Leo) leaves him adrift. After she dies, he sees her in a vision and asks for guidance. She tells him to visit Bucharest.
Lacking any other direction in life, Charlie boards a Chicago flight for Romania and meets Victor (Caramitru), a taxi driver, en route to see his daughter.
Their newfound friendship is cut short when Victor dies on the flight and Charlie has another vision: Victor telling him to deliver a gift that he was carrying for his daughter Gabi (Wood).
Charlie agrees, finding her at the airport when he arrives and consoling her before offering to assist with the disposition of her father's body.
Later, Charlie meets Gabi's ex-husband Nigel (Mikkelsen), who has unfinished business with Victor over a missing video that he now plans to settle with Gabi, but she turns him away.
Later that night, Charlie's convinced he's falling in love with Gabi, but she remains aloof and mysterious about her relationship with Nigel.
By coincidence, Charlie learns more about Nigel and Gabi from Darko (Til Schweiger), another gangster and associate of Nigel's who runs customer shakedowns at a nightclub. Darko is looking for the same video as Nigel, plunging Charlie into a stand-off between Gabi and the two heavies, even as the couple are discovering the first glimmers of romance.
Charlie will need to elevate his game if he's going to help extract Gabi from her perilous situation – if she even wants to be rescued.
Many of the omniscient observations made by the Narrator can be directly deduced from the film's plot and theme, making his rather ponderous pronouncements about love and fate seem almost ridiculously grandiose and clichéd.
With a scruffy demeanour and wide-eyed enthusiasm, LaBeouf projects an emotional recklessness that's disarming and disconcerting to watch.
Wood blends so capably into the role, with her distinctly European bearing and Romanian-accented speech, that she easily conceals her American origins. As her violent and unpredictable ex, Mikkelsen is chillingly proficient.
Bond effectively incorporates the script's more eccentric elements while keeping them grounded in the principal narrative. Production values are top-shelf, supported by a propulsive score and strategically incorporated special effects. – Hollywood Reporter

I oftentimes have morning undereye bags but they go away (mostly) during the course of the morning. This is happening more frequently and I've tried every topical solution - nothing works. By lunch time, I usually look like myself again but the mornings are awful, I look awful. Any advice?
Treatment for Morning Undereye Bags?
Doctor Answers 4
Bags under your eyes when you wake up
If you wake up with bags under your eyes but, as the day progresses they improve, this may be due to the redeposition of swelling during the night. This can happen when you sleep flat or face down. If this is the case, an easy fix is to sleep with your head elevated to minimize the swelling. This can be done by obtaining a foam wedge and placing your pillow on top of it so that your head is higher than your feet.
Treatment for puffy eyes in the morning
Under eye bags treatment
It seems like you might have allergy related symptoms. The reason for the bags is swelling in the lower eyelid. It can be from allergy to dust mite which is found in mattresses. You can try some antihistamines over the counter such as Allegra, Claritin or Zyrtec and see if it helps. You can also try Optivar (prescription eye drops for allergey) at bedtime. Nasal obstruction from allergies or infection can also cause this swelling. You should see your family physician or an Otolaryngologist to rule out nasal allergies.
If you sleep with no pillow, try using one or two pillows to keep your head elevated during the night.
Since swelling under the eyes can be related to retention of water, you should discuss that possibility with your physician and make sure your kidney function is normal.
You mention that you have tried a lot of skin products. It is also possible that one of the products could be making your swelling worst by an allergy type reaction.
As you can see there are many possible reasons for these under eye bags. If all else fails, lower eyelid tuck or blepharoplasty can help.
You might also like...
Check these things
Nasal obstruction during sleep, thyroid problems, allergies (air borne or food), fluid retention problems, and SMOKING can cause this problem.
Check into these issues and see if you can find the problem. It doesn't sound like a surgically resolvable issue. However, there are some creams that may help. Check out our web site and look up the eye cream or send and email to the clinic address.
Good luck!

LONDON (Aug. 14)
Ernst Boris Chain, the German-born biochemist who shared a Nobel Prize in 1945 for his work in isolating penicillin, died Sunday in Ireland at the age of 73, it was announced here by the University of London. The Jewish scientist who was educated in Berlin and earned his PhD in chemistry in 1930 left Germany in 1933 after Hitler came to power. Chain, who became a naturalized British citizen in 1939, did much of his research of Oxford University with Sir Howard Florey. They continued earlier research by Sir Alexander Fleming, and the three shared the Nobel Prize for physiology and medicine.
Chain, who received honorary degrees from Yeshiva University in New York in 1948 and its Albert Einstein College of Medicine in 1961, was an honorary fellow of the Weizmann institute of Science in Rehovot, Israel.
Chain, who had been at the University of London's Imperial College of Science and Technology since 1963, was chairman of the World Health Organization after World War II. He was in Czechoslovakia to supervise penicillin development when Communists took power in 1946. Three years later, he was denied a visa to enter the United States, apparently because of his work in Czechoslovakia. He said later he worked there because he was more interested in health than politics.

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — In a conservative state referred to as the buckle of the Bible Belt, two men legally married Thursday in a small ceremony at a chapel on an old military fort west of Oklahoma City.
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — In a conservative state referred to as the buckle of the Bible Belt, two men legally married Thursday in a small ceremony at a chapel on an old military fort west of Oklahoma City.
Despite a gay marriage ban in the Oklahoma Constitution, Darren Black Bear, 45, and Jason Pickel, 36, wed before about 50 friends and family members at the Fort Reno chapel after being granted a marriage license from the Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes. Black Bear is a member of the Oklahoma-based tribe, one of the few Native American tribes in the U.S. to allow same-sex marriage.
He and Pickel are the third same-sex couple to be issued a marriage license from the tribe since 2012.
Black Bear said he never imagined being able to marry his partner of nine years.
"It's really kind of surreal," Black Bear said. "I thought that was not something that would happen in my lifetime."
Black Bear's father, 71-year-old Floyd Black Bear, officiated the ceremony. A longtime civil rights activist who marched with Martin Luther King Jr. in 1965 in Alabama, Floyd Black Bear said most of the tribal members he's talked to support the move, although he acknowledged there is some opposition.
"We've got a lot of tribal members that are gay, along with other tribes in Oklahoma," Floyd Black Bear said. "That's a reality, and we can't sit back and allow these people to be deprived of their rights."
The Cheyenne and Arapaho's constitution, which was redrafted in 2006 and approved by a majority of voting tribal members, specifically prohibits the tribal government from making or enforcing any law that discriminates against any person based on sexual orientation.
The 12,500-member tribe's lieutenant governor, Amber Bighorse, said the Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes have a history of progressive leaders and acceptance of gay members.
"It's not just that we have that provision in our constitution," said Bighorse, 37. "That provision got in there for a reason.
"Culturally, from my experience and what I've witnessed in all of my years, the Cheyenne and Arapho is a community that has always been open and accepting of gay tribal members."


text: So last night my wife deleted "LG Home" from her phone when I wasn't looking (she didn't know what it was) and while I was looking at it I decided to see where mine was stored on my phone but when I opened Root Explorer (app name) it froze at "getting root permissions". I backed out and forced it to quit and tried again with the same result. So I restarted my phone only to have it show LG splash, T-mobile sequence, and then an Android with a box and a status bar. The status bar stopped after a couple seconds and the phone reboots only to do it again. I can get into the "Android System Recovery <3e>" I can use the volume keys to navigate but I cannot select any option. When I hit the menu button nothing happens. I can only navigate the menu and toggle the menu with home button. This is the same on both phones only hers just sits at the Android splash when you start in normally. Is there a way to hard reset or reinstall the whole system with the circumstances? (I got hers hard reset but she's still missing the LG Home launcher) We both have LG Optimus T p509 running android 2.2 SOLVED- http://androidforums.com/optimus-t-support-troubleshooting/455670-how-i-unbricked-two-phones.html

Seriously? Birthers actually went that far…again?
The Raw Story
The US Supreme Court Monday slapped down a new bid seeking to show that Barack Obama was ineligible to be elected president of the United States in the 2008 White House race.
The nation's highest court refused to take up a case brought by three people "who claim President Barack Obama is not a natural born citizen of the United States of America and, hence, is ineligible to be the president," court documents said.
The nine justices, meeting as they opened a new term, thus upheld a August 2010 California appeals court ruling which found that the "plaintiffs' contentions lack merit."
The appeals court also argued "the presidential nominating process is not subject to each of the 50 states' election officials independently deciding whether a presidential nominee is qualified, as this could lead to chaotic results."
Some right-wing conspiracy theorists have claimed that Obama, whose father was from Kenya, was not born on US territory, which would disqualify him for the presidency.
But official records show Obama was born in the state of Hawaii and the White House even released the official full version of his birth certificate in a bid to squash the debate.
