I am a 19 year old female. I had a breast reduction in October of 2009. After surgery, I was pleased to see how much perkier and smaller my breasts were. I talked with my doctor briefly @ my 1 month follow up, asking how long to wait before exposing my scars to the tanning bed. I was told 3 months. I have been tanning regularly for months now. I now have very noticeable bright pink scars that are raised and very wide. What are my options to reduce the scarring? It seems too late to not tan :(

Healing takes 12-18 months, sun should be avoided during that time.
Unfortunately, once the scars have developed this type of discoloration, conservative management is almost always unsuccessful.For this reason, re-excision and re-closure are usually always indicated.Under these circumstances this approach is associated with excellent clinical results and high levels of patient satisfaction.
It's important to consult a board certified plastic surgeon who can help with this problem.This surgeon should be able to outline a treatment plan for scar revision.

Best Scar Management is important to minimize or completely hide from view, the telltale signs of your surgery—namely, scars. Both you and your surgeon want you to have the most minimal scarring possible. There are many possible causes for scars that are enlarged or not healing well. Unsightly scars are most commonly due to genetics, underlying medical conditions, or improper scar/wound care. The last part is very important and patients can make a noticeable difference in their scars' appearance by following best scar management practices. Here are some simple tips.
Scar Management tips:
- Minimize tension on the scar. Steri-Strips and/or surgical tape are often placed in non-hair bearing areas to minimize tension and keep pressure over the scar. This minimizes the stress that can pull the scar apart (dehiscence) creating a wound and delaying healing time, and can make the scar wider, or more "ropy".
- Keep your incision site/scar clean to prevent infection. Follow your surgeon's wound care instructions to the letter with out modification. Never apply different products then recommended without first discussing them with your surgeon. This is especially important during the first few weeks. If there are any signs of infection, contact your surgeon's office right away and/or see your doctor or his nurse immediately. Typical signs of infection may include redness outside the immediate incision site, asymmetric swelling, and drainage, of pus, fever, chills, and "feeling sick".
- Protect your scars from the sun and tanning beds. Staying out of the sun is the best advice. Minimal exposure to sunlight is prevents hyperpigmentation (permanently turning brown) and other problems that can make the scar more noticeable. Sunscreen, at least 30 SPF and an overlying make camouflage make up additionally protects the scar from the suns harmful rays. This advice is especially important the first year following your surgery.
- Use specific scar maturation products recommended by your surgeon. Patients seem to have their own opinions on this touting everything from Pure Vit E, Coco butter, to Aloe Vera, etc but most have minimal benefit other than keeping the scar hydrated. Although hydration is important there are better, scientifically studied products with greater efficacy. Most of the scientific articles written about this subject indicate that topical silicone gel or silicone sheets work the best. There are a lot of products to choose from, but silicone should be one of the key ingredients. Although Mederma, an onion extract derivative active ingredient rather than mainly silicone based may help, primarily silicone based products are better and many also contain other ingredients that may be synergistic (hydrocortisone or other steroid, Vitamin E, Sunscreen,etc). At the present time I prefer BioCorneum or Kelo-Cote products especially on areas that silicone strips aren't applicable, for example, on the face. If the reader has problems obtaining these they can call my office. Patient compliance is also critical – use often and according to directions or it will not work optimally. NEVER apply products without first discussing them with your surgeon.
- Monitor to make sure your scar is progressing optimally. Keep your scheduled follow-up appointments with your surgeon to verify that your scars are maturing as expected. Occasionally if indicated you may need a topical steroid preparation or even a series of injections (5-FU and/or Steroids) or laser treatments to treat or prevent scar hypertrophy or keloid formation (red raised scars), or other topical medicines to treat post inflammatory hyperpigmentation (brown scars) with prescription creams and possible laser treatments.

Thank you for the question.
Sometimes the use of silicone-based products and/or steroid injection may be helpful. The use of superficial radiation treatment is possible for symptomatic scars. Sometimes scar revision surgery and careful scar management afterwards may be helpful. Despite anecdotal reports otherwise I have not seen significant improvement with laser treatment of scars.
Best wishes.

Scarring after breast reduction
You are young, and this is typical in the natural history of scars. They tend to get a lot worse before they get better, and I have to explain to patients that it takes up to a year for a scar to fade. You can helps the process by massage with a scar cream or vitamin E. This helps mechanically soften the collagen in the scar.
Regarding the tanning bed, they are a bad idea for your skin, and certainly for your scars as well. I always recommend that my patients avoid tanning beds. They are popular though, and people love them, for sure. But in terms of light induced damage in the skin, they are as bad as the sun, and some studies suggest they may even be worse!
Scarring and breast reduction
The final scar quality after any surgery has a lot to do with tension, the type of closure, and probably most importantly is genetics. Some people just do not heal as well as others. Sometimes topical creams, silicone sheeting,etc.. can help scars.

Options for red raised scars after breast reduction
You first should stop exposing the scars to tanning until the red color has resolved. You may benefit from steroid injections. Other options include pressure therapy, topical paper tape, silicone gel sheeting and/or scar revision surgery

Breast reduction scars
Breast reduction surgery always involves placing scars on the breast, and unfortunately some scars do not heal to be inconspicuous. Raised, red, thick scars as you describe may indicate scar hypertrophy, a condition which is treatable with a number of modalities including creams, silicone gel sheeting, and cortisone injections. You should consult with your plastic surgeon for intervention as soon as possible as treatment is generally more successful when initiated early.
No more tanning beds please!
Best treatment at this point would be laser scar treatment to tighten the skin and reduce the width of the scars. I would recommend IPL treatment as well to reduce redness. I would not advise any more tanning and would switch to kelocote scar gel. We have had excellent results in my practice with this management of post-breast reduction scars.

SXSW startup energy shifts from social to content and wearables
Just two years ago, the convention center was crawling with young startups clamoring to launch the latest social wave. That chatter has largely died down, and been replaced with more diverse conversations around cloud computing, content management, and interface design. I must admit that the social startups were more playful in their gorilla marketing efforts, and added to the electric atmosphere of SXSW. Purely from a business perspective, I'm intrigued to see a rise in more mature business concepts.
I miss some of the more bombastic curbside promotions (despite past controversies around human charging stations and the like) but appreciate the increased diversity in interactive startups. There were two categories of products and services that I saw take a particularly notable leap forward at this year's interactive festival: content and wearables.
Solving a problem we have: Content solutions
Marketers are challenged by the complexity of the new content marketplace. Between search engine algorithm changes, demographic migration among social networks, and the demand for always-on customer care, businesses are scrambling to deploy effective content management programs. These programs are hard to get right because they need to be flexible, future-ready, easy-to-use, and cannot show any indication of weakness or automation.
Two companies taking data visualization head on include Piktochart and Visual.ly. While Visual.ly is addressing the visual content challenge with custom services and what seems to be a freelance network for designers, Piktochart is offering a more scalable, less customizable self-service solution. Each offers a niche design product to help businesses re-package stories as infographics. Four of the 10 Korean Geeks of Gangnam startups focus on content – most notably Amootoon and Contentsfirst (focused on niche entertainment content distribution).
The bigger the brand, the more complex the content is to produce and distribute. SXSWi had more content on the floor than in years past and I anticipate a surge in automated content management solutions in the next two years.
Solving a problem we don't have: Wearables
GoogleGlass has become the grand ambassador of wearable technology. While I expected to a lot more Glass wearers on the convention center floor, that doesn't mean that the wearable trend wasn't present in full force. The concept of wearable technology has been embraced and isn't seen as revolutionary anymore. Now businesses are trying to figure out how to make wearables practical, affordable, and desirable in the short term. Notably:
Epiphany Eyewear and Epson are both going after Google Glass. Epiphany Eyewear offers a hipster-friendly black-rimmed spectacle that includes cloud storage, video camera, and web platform. Meanwhile Epson has taken a sharp turn away from label makers with its Moverio glasses, which was a CES Innovations Award nominee. Unlike the Epiphany eyewear, the Moverio is short on fashion and focuses more heavily on gadgetry. Google Glass and Epiphany are targeting a seamlessly connected experience as users navigate from space to space. Moverio, however, is better equipped for gaming, 3D content, and content consumption.
Logbar showcased Ring, which is a controller that fits like an interactive class ring. Ring connects to other devices and applications using Bluetooth. Users have to use a series of gestures or use their finger to "draw" commands. It's got a low price point, and is fun as a novelty. Logbar is taking advantage of another trend – crowdfunding – they are currently offering pre-orders via Kickstarter. Ring may not revolutionize wearable technology, but it's an indicator of what is to come. We'll see lots more attempts to expand wearables beyond glasses.
Yes, social media is still very much alive and well at SXSWi, yet it's taken on the Grand Dame position as other technologies and innovations make their debut. There's still plenty of niche social media at the festival (including a social network for origami lovers) but the nature of the event is changing as technology moves toward the next wave of innovation. For marketers, solving the content conundrum is on the agenda, and for the rest of us, wearable technology is going to normalize.

Band StrengthThat burning knee pain you experience while running may be caused by inflammation of the iliotibial (IT) band, a tough tissue that runs along your outer thigh from the hip to knee. Researchers at the University of Delaware wondered what caused the inflammation, so they conducted gait analysis on a group of recreational female runners and followed their training for two years. Eighteen runners who had greater hip adduction (the amount the hip rolls toward the middle of the body) and internal knee rotation at the start of the study developed IT band syndrome by the end, suggesting a possible biomechanical cause for the painful condition.
You can take steps to avoid developing IT band syndrome. "Exercises to strengthen the muscles around the hip help, and include lateral side walking with tubing, lateral step-ups, squats and lunges," says Irv Rubenstein, Ph.D., exercise physiologist and founder of personal-training center S.T.E.P.S., Inc., in Nashville, Tennessee.
Power OutageNo matter how hard you try, you can't force yourself to sprint at an all-out effort faster or for a longer period of time. Within seconds, your muscles move from exertion to exhaustion, and now researchers know why. A new study in the American Journal of Physiology reports that when your muscles are pushed past the "critical power level"--the intense level of effort you can sustain for a period of time, usually 75 to 80 percent of your maximum capacity--they quickly become tired, and the level of phosphocreatine, an important energy source, is fast depleted. Together, these factors force you to slow down or stop. The good news: The more fit you become, the longer you can maintain workouts at your critical power level.
Milk the BenefitsGetting an adequate amount of vitamin D--through dairy products, fish and even sunlight--does more than prevent bone fractures. New studies show that intakes of 800 to 1,000 IU a day increase muscle performance and help prevent falls later in life. Vitamin D also helps the body absorb calcium, which can boost the density of the hip and pelvis as well as improve balance. It may also lower your risk of developing breast cancer, diabetes and heart disease.
Too Much of a Good Thing?Dehydration during a long run can be a real concern, especially in the hot summer months. But the dangers of overhydration, "hyponatremia," may be equally deadly. Hyponatremia occurs when excess water dilutes the sodium in your blood, says Dr. James Muntz of The Methodist Hospital in Houston. Muntz recommends drinking no more than one cup of water or sports drink every 20 minutes during exercise.
Try ThisIllustration by Damon Wilde
Triangle Pose: Start standing with your legs straight and spread wide apart. Turn your right foot 90 degrees to the right while keeping the left foot pointing forward. Place your right hand on your right shin or ankle. Roll your torso open, so both shoulders face forward, and raise your left arm straight over your head. Look up toward your left hand or straight ahead if this bothers your neck. Focus on stretching your left fingertips as high as you can. Take a few deep breaths, and then slowly straighten to a standing position. Repeat on the other side.

We've been detailing charges of "extravagant" spending at the world's largest Christian broadcaster — allegations leveled by a granddaughter against her grandfather, grandmother, uncle and aunt.
We've been detailing IRS codes and compliance reviews and internal memos, but the drama over money at Trinity Broadcasting Network is at heart a family drama, with all the attendant emotions of betrayal, anger and, presumably, heartache.
Paul and Jan Crouch founded TBN back in 1973 — God spoke to Paul as he was driving on MacArthur Boulevard, he has said on air — and he promised to put up his last dollars to make it work. As soon as he made that sacrifice, the donations poured in, he said — and the prosperity gospel TBN preaches has become more wildly successful than he ever imagined. Trinity brings in nearly $200 million a year and has amassed net assets of nearly $1 billion, according to its latest tax returns. It is "Jesus's only network," Jan Crouch has said, and has employed extended members of the Crouch family clan.
Until recently.
Brittany Koper, the granddaughter at the root of the current ruckus, is the daughter of Paul Crouch Jr. — the founder's namesake. After becoming Trinity's finance director last summer, she tried to correct what she saw as financial excesses, she said in a 180-page declaration filed in Orange County Superior Court — objecting to, among many other things, the free-spending ways of her uncle Matthew Crouch and his wife, Laurie.
Her attempts were not well-received by others in her family, by her account. Soon, her grandfather told her "that Janice and Matthew Crouch 'want your heads,' referring to the biblical account of John the Baptist's beheading by King Herod after John reproved Herod for certain transgressions," Koper's declaration reads.
Grandmother Jan Crouch accused her of "biting the hand that feeds you," and told her that she was a "naive little girl," the declaration says. Her grandmother told her "that I must either do as I was told without asking questions or find myself 'out on your ass,' director Matthew Crouch likewise confronted Michael Koper (Koper's husband) and I and said he would 'destroy' us in response to the specific financial improprieties concerning Matthew Crouch's compensation that had been reported by me."
Koper was fired shortly thereafter, and those closest to her went down with her, according to her account. "Each of the primary individuals who had supported my short-lived efforts as director of finance to reform TBN's unlawful financial practices was subsequently terminated by TBN in retaliation for our stand and objection, including my father Paul Crouch, Jr, my husband Michael Koper, my number two in personnel, and myself," her declaration says.
The uncle with whom she apparently had the greatest conflict is now essentially in charge of the station: Matthew Crouch.
An email from Koper to her Uncle Matt Crouch in August took him gently to task for failing to file receipts for purchases he made. "Hi Matthew," it reads. "I finished putting together the forms for missing receipts that I spoke to you about yesterday. According to IRS guidelines, every purchase that TBN makes must have a ministry purpose. If you see the attached, I've listed the date of the purchase, name and location of the vendor as well as the amount. Please fill in the box next to the purchase explaining the ministry purpose in as much detail as possible and then sign the bottom. If there are some that you're not really sure about or you may need help with let me know and I can give you a few IRS 'buzz words' to throw in there (but basically, use the words 'church' and 'ministry' as much as possible). ::SMILE::
"In the future I'll have one of these prepared for each of your credit card statements so that our records are complete and the auditors don't ask any questions."
Uncle Matt did not return the smile. The forms she wanted him to fill out were pages and pages long. "There isn't a chance in you know where, that I didn't turn in that many receipts," he responded. "I suggest someone start looking for them there in accounting or contact the vendors for duplicates. The ministry purpose will be written on them!"
Koper's declaration says, "It is an understatement to say that I encountered tremendous resistance, particularly by TBN directors — and most particularly by my uncle, director Matthew Crouch, who I believed was guilty of the most glaring and dangerous violations of law concerning excess benefit transactions, kickbacks, self-dealing, and outright fraudulent conduct."
She particularly objected to $50 million transferred from TBN to Matthew Crouch's Gener8Xion film company over a decade, she continued. She pointed to invoices for $1.2 million to Gener8Xion
"related to the non-existed 3D Jesus movie," as well as invoices for $19,527 sought by Matthew Crouch and his wife "to renovate one of their many company provided homes."
But it wasn't just her uncle and aunt. The Aug. 30 memo she and her husband wrote to grandfather Paul Crouch Sr. — detailing their concerns upon taking the jobs of finance director and secretary –objected to "the ownership and personal use of TBN's luxury jets, TBN directors setting their own interest rates on money they were personally investing with TBN, wrongfully reporting nonexistent donations for corporations, excessive daily 'business' meals, the fact that TBN was not reporting director Matthew Crouch's income on its tax returns to avoid disclosure of his affiliation with TBN while Matthew Crouch was receiving money from a film company through TBN, the free 'parsonages' that TBN provided to all of its directors and other officers without proper reporting…fictitious 'rent' that TBN paid to TBN directors for the non-existent use of their house, and several other matters," the declaration says.
"I was specifically instructed by John Casoria at TBN (attorney and family member) that one of my primary functions as TBN's new head of finance was to invent 'business purposes' for every expenditure submitted for reimbursement or payment by TBN's directors, or for personal expenses run through company credit cards by the director."
Attorneys for Trinity have said that Koper and her husband are guilty of the true financial misdeeds, and accuse them of embezzling hundreds of thousands of dollars from Trinity by granting themselves and others company loans. Trinity has called her assertions in this declaration nonsense and an attempt to divert attention from her own bad behavior — but it was Trinity who tried to keep Koper's declaration under wraps.
The documents we're quoting from were stolen and may have been altered, Trinity says.
Among them is a text message from Koper's dad, Paul Crouch Jr., in March, which says: "Johnny (Casoria, the TBN attorney) told me that TBN would drop everything if you'll fire your attorney. Just say'n."
As the family and financial drama grinds on, the Kopers have left the West Coast for New York. Koper's father told the New York Times that getting caught in the crossfire between his daughter and his parents and brother is one of the hardest things he has ever had to endure.
Some have likened what's happening at TBN to the recent breakdown of the Schuller empire, its bankruptcy and loss of the Crystal Cathedral. One might see similarities in the conflict between family members, who are in positions of power throughout the ministry; but, financially, Trinity appears to be in no danger. Its net assets are $827.6 million — which is the number after total liabilities are deducted.
Any problems for Trinity would likely come from the government side, if from anywhere. Koper made documents available to the Internal Revenue Service; the IRS has no comment on what, if anything, it is doing with them.
If you'd like to peruse the Koper declaration for yourself, we've posted it here.

Super-Scattered 'Amigos' At All Roads Film Fest
We had high hopes for "Super Amigos," one of the selections at National Geographic's All Roads film festival. It has an intriguing premise: Real-life social activists don Mexican wrestling (lucha libre) masks to do battle with the forces of evil at work in Mexico City. It's got a Tarantino-esque vibe, filtered through the hyperkinetic sensibility of hipster Mexican cinema and superhero cartoons. It's got snazzy special effects, a zippy soundtrack and a compelling cast.
And . . . about 20 minutes into the film, it starts to lose its superpowers, lulling the viewer into a soporific state.
Which is too bad. It's hard to go wrong with a cast like this: Super Barrio, who battles gentrification and nefarious landlords; Super Gay, who wages a solitary war against homophobia after his lover is murdered; Ecologista Universal, who fights pollution; Super Animal, an animal rights activist who vows to dismember any bullfighter he encounters in the street; Fray Tormenta, a priest who runs an orphanage -- and whose story is eerily similar to that of Jack Black's character in "Nacho Libre." Mexico City, the world's biggest metropolis, is rife with societal ills that these superheroes are all too eager to right.
But director Arturo Perez Torres ("Wetback") spends too much time skittering from character to character, revving up the action with cartoon footage and 3D animation, that he doesn't stand still long enough to tell a coherent story. It's hard to keep track of who's doing what, and why.
-- Teresa Wiltz
Super Amigos (82 minutes, in Spanish with English subtitles) kicks off the All Roads film festival at 7 p.m. Oct. 4 at National Geographic headquarters, 1600 M. St. NW. The film is not rated but contains adult subject matter including strong language and gory scenes involving a bullfight.

Each year, thousands of Minnesotans enter rural fields and timber looking for antlers shed by white-tailed deer. For years, their findings could only be shared with a few friends. Thanks to social media, the time has come for that to change. Now it's time for America to shed hunt together.
On March 1, Whitetail Properties Real Estate and several of the most respected brands in the outdoor industry are calling on all hunters to participate in the first-ever #ShedRally – the world's largest shed hunt.
What is #ShedRally? It's anyone and everyone getting outside on March 1, hunting for shed antlers and uploading photos to Facebook, Twitter and Instagram and using the hashtag, #ShedRally.
The benefits of shed hunting are endless. Shed hunting is an awesome way to learn the land, how bucks use a hunting property and what bucks survived hunting season and winter. It's a great way for family and friends to exercise and enjoy a few hours outside. Shed hunting also is the perfect time to teach young hunters about deer sign and scout for the fall.
On top of all the benefits, Whitetail Properties will judge all photos uploaded that use the #ShedRally hashtag and pick the most original and creative users to win prizes from Realtree, Scent-Lok, Tenzing and more.
For more information about the #ShedRally, visit Facebook.com/WhitetailProperties.
Local Whitetail Properties Land Specialist Bob Stalberger plans on participating and wants residents of southeastern Minnesota to mark their calendars too.
"Whitetail Properties wants to make history by organizing the largest shed hunt ever, and I want Minnesota and the quality whitetails of our state to be well represented," Stalberger said. "If anyone in the area is interested in getting started shed hunting or wants to get together to shed hunt during the #ShedRally, contact me and we'll go."

Now that Corey Hart has won his arbitration case, expectations for him are going to be higher than ever before (whether that's fair or not is a topic for debate). As Adam McCalvy noted heading into the hearing, having to make a case in front of an arbitration panel is something the Brewers haven't had to do very often — before Hart, there were only three other cases that had to be heard. How did those players fare in the season following their case? Let's take a look.
Jim Gantner, 1992
Decision: Team
Result: .246/.278/.313, 276 PA's, 1 HR, 18 RBI
Gantner was entering what would be his last Major League season as a 39-year old, and truth be told, it's a wonder he managed to play for so long considering his career numbers. At least it speaks to the loyalty the club showed to a Wisconsin native. While Gantner did have his best season in years the season prior, he predictably struggled in 1992 after the hearing — an atrocious OBP, pitcher-like slugging, and the lowest OPS+ of his career.
Mike Fetters, 1994
Decision: Team
Result: 1-4, 2.54 ERA, 17 saves, 46 IP (42 games), 198 ERA+
Fetters was the second arbitration case in three years for the Brewers, and the team was able to win the decision. Making $400,000 in 1994, Fetters was an extremely effective closer in the strike-shortened season. He appeared in more games than anyone other than Graeme Lloyd and posted an ERA+ of 198 in 46 innings.
Jose Mercedes, 1998
Decision: Player
Result: 2-2, 6.75 ERA, 32 IP (7 games, 5 starts), 1.594 WHIP
Mercedes won his case, but didn't pitch like he deserved his new salary of over $1 million. He was only able to pitch in 32 innings in 1998, putting up a 6.75 ERA in 7 appearances (5 of them being starts). He carried a WHIP of 1.594 and walked (9) nearly as many as he struck out (11). His last game with the Brewers was May 4th of that year, and he was released that December.
So we have a mixed bag of results. Mercedes and Gantner stunk following their cases, but considering their respective histories, it shouldn't have been a surprise. Where Hart goes from here is largely up to him, and he seems to know it.

Discussion in 'Texans Talk' started by DocBar, Jul 31, 2011.
See Uncle Bob that's your problem, very little imagination....
There's the ship channel bridge, Conoco Tower, San Jac monument...
Seriously though, this was a good interview. Thanks for posting.
That statement explains a lot
The top of Reliant Stadium....just going with ya on this...
Seriously though, that was as much as I've seen Uncle Bob say in the media in quite a long time. Good post.
I agree. I really liked the interview. It's been my position that McNair considers a lot more than most give him credit for. I think we have one of the better owners in the league and he's trying his best to build the right long term foundation for his team.
Such as???
Good luck and free agents should never be in the same sentence when discussing the Houston Texans.
"Unmitigated" optimism? Hey, I'm optimistic. It's the football fan inside who wants to believe I'll get to kick the ball, no matter how many times Lucy lifts it before I can. But, that optimism is mitigated by watching these Kubiak-led "warriors" flop year after year. I'm hopeful. But if they don't win, I'll know why.
off the top of my head: vonta leach, derek ward, joel dressen, kevin walter & chris myers (low rd rfa's), wade smith, rashad butler, pollard & demps for a season each
It's all lip service to me. Just a PR move to keep the turnstiles moving and the beer selling another year. I tend to be one that says don't tell me what your going to do, show me what you are going to do. Seeing is believing.
He can say how much he wants to win - but he hasn't shown it. And now we let Leach go, another move a loser makes just at a time when we were gaining momentum this offseason. That is showing me that he doesn't want to win. We needed to keep Leach and 3 yrs at 11 mil is reasonable for an all-pro who helped turn a UDFA into the league's top RB a yr ago. You don't replace a guy like that with someone off the street.
The wool gets pulled over our eyes again, but some of us understand this man's losing mentality.
Except they spent that money on a CB and Safty tha we desperately needed. We also have our draft picks to sign, need one more depth Cb, and want some "just in case" money for camp casualties. A loser over pays a fb that is a's one dimensional a's it gets instead of making your team better.
We're not overreacting too much on the Leach thing, are we?
I mean, what do you expect when you vote the guy to the Pro Bowl? And what do you expect from free agency? Only to win some, and not lose some?
But to say that losing Leach to free agency shows you that McNair "doesn't really want to win" . . .
Yeah OK . . . Whatever.
Leach was also important in the passing game and worked as a relief valve for Schaub numerous times. I don't think of him as one dimensional. If we pick up a halfway decent FB, I think we can still be ok there, but I do think you guys under estimate Leach's value to this offense. This was a huge blow to this team, no doubt in my mind. And you let decent guys go, but you don't let all-pro's go when the cost is as reasonable as Leach was going to be.
Numerous = 8?
While I do have a concern about Vonta's leaving, it's mostly in Red Zone situations. I think his pass catching role will be considerably easier to replace - it doesn't even have to be a FB who replaces it.
I don't agree with that statement.
Some people do.
Several organizations have become successful with that thinking. Patriots, Colts, Pittsburgh.
So even though I do not agree with his belief, I am not going to act like mine is the only one.
I wonder if he thinks he is over-spending for Joseph & Manning. It would have been nice if we had drafted them..... but we didn't. We can only draft so many players, sometimes we get it right, sometimes we get it wrong. I think it is important to acknowledge when we are wrong & do what it takes to fix it.
Johnathan Joseph is the perfect example. We didn't draft him in 2006. We fix that problem signing him in FA. Paying Dunta that same money to stay would have been worse than what we have now.
Billionaire BoBBy if you were sincere in your comments why do Rick and Gary still have jobs? There w/l record says that you aren't holding them accountable.
BTW, BoBBY bringing in Bum and Dante as PR schills for the losers that are Rick and Gary as a preemptive PR move was a stroke of marketing genius. Forget about what the paying customers want and Garys W/L record. Just keep on with status quo. We dont want to do anything traumatic like hiring a winning GM/HC.
I think it's sad that Wade ran the draft this yr and it was the best draft since 2006. IMHO That's an indictment of Rick/Gary. Where's the accountability that seems to be your mantra BoBBY? Are you content with blowing smoke up your fans butts?
Couldn't have said it better myself. This guy reminds me of our President. Talks a good game, but actions speak much louder than words.
Leach was a beast, but he served his purpose.
Remember the first fullback Kubiak picked? He's supposed to be more of a threat out of the backfield than a run blocker. We stumbled onto Leach at a time when the OL wasn't doing its thing. Kubiak trusting different people to teach his OL. 2008, Kubiak threw all that away & went back to what he knows.
IMO 2008 he started teaching his version of the ZBS. Our OL struggled, part of the reason why Steve struggled to find holes. By the end of the season you could see a big difference in the way they blocked. That also happened to be around the time Arian Foster showed up.
2009, no doubt about it, our starting five have got it down pat......
I think we were going to be moving away from Leach anyway.
That's another thing. In short yardage situations, why get away from what we're good at, stretching the field. If we don't have the people to blow defenses off the line, why try?
Run the zone stretch, every now & then throw in a naked bootleg.
He's answered this question hundreds of times. He feels like Kubiak is his coach. He feels like Rick Smith has done at least an adequate job.
Firing someone is not the only way to hold someone accountable.
Are you accountable at your job? How many times have you been fired?
Don't speak for me.
These guys haven't got on the field yet, & it's the best draft since 2006? What's sad is that we fans keep moving the freak'n target & wonder why it's so hard for McNair to hit.
This draft is no different than the 2009 draft. Cushing, Barwin, Caldwell, Casey, Quin, McCain, Nolan..... no different other than we've seen those guys play in the NFL.....
2010 draft don't look all that bad either. Ben Tate, Earl Mitchell, Darrel Sharpton, Dorin Dickerson are still plenty to get excited about. Sherrick McMannis, I like that pick as much as the Carmichael pick.. & the book isn't closed yet on Kareem Jackson.
The book hasn't been opened on the 2011 draft... & you say better?
Other than Leach, none of these guys are special (though Pollard had his moments). Just about every GM in the league can point to finding JAG players like Dreessen, Myers, and Walter (who wasn't signed by Smith). No better (or worse) than most teams in this regard.
I almost went off (again) on McNair, but aj saved me the trouble:
I read something like this from McNair, and I wonder if he will ever get it. Basically, he'll have to luck into a winner. Because winning his not his top priority. Every once in a while, Mike Brown gets to the playoffs. Not because he's a good owner. But because his team eventually gets lucky. I'm not saying that Bob McNair is a bad owner in the same fashion as Mike Brown. Just that like Mike Brown, he doesn't value winning as his highest priority.
Separate names with a comma.

I was able to get the Education and Non-Profit Starter kits to run with no problems but when I click Run Sample in Browser on the Real Estate and Corporate starter kits, they are throwing the following error: Could not find a part of the path 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\DATA\SitefinityCorporateStarterKit.mdf'.
As with the two successful starter kits, I pointed to a network SQL server and yet these fail. What do I need to do to get these to run?
Unfortunately, the Corporate and Real Estate databases don't exist on the server so I can't delete them. There is also nothing for those two projects in the Extraction folder.
I have a feeling the problem somehow stems from the fact that the first time I tried to install those two starter kits, I did not have database creation rights on the network server I wanted them on and they both failed. My database permission issue has since been rectified but it seems there's now a pointer stuck pointing to the path I mentioned in my first post and that's where it continues to look for the database. After it throws the error saying it can't find the database, the SDK browser crashes. Is there another way I can reset both the Real Estate and Corporate starter kits?

Two biggest papers pick Tomblin
Acting Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin snagged the endorsements of West Virginia's two largest papers Sunday, just over two weeks ahead of the special gubernatorial election.
The Charleston Gazette called Tomblin "the obvious choice," cited his backing from the usually Republican-leaning Chamber of Commerce and argued "there's no reason to cause temporary upheaval by replacing him for the interim year."
The Huntington Herald-Dispatch praised GOP nominee Bill Maloney as "bright and credible" but chose Tomblin for his economic leadership and work improving workforce readiness.
Earlier in the week, Maloney won the backing of the Charleston Daily Mail, which lamented the state's 49th ranking in income.
Democratic Governors Association chairman Martin O'Malley lends Tomblin a hand with a fundraiser Monday. Early voting in the special begins Wednesday.

Excerpt from Smithsonian American Art Museum:
Bequest of Helen Huntington Hull, granddaughter of William Brown Dinsmore, who acquired the painting in 1873 for "The Locusts," the family estate in Dutchess County, New York.
Albert Bierstadt's beautifully crafted paintings played to a market eager, in the 1860s, for spectacular views of the nation's frontiers. Bierstadt was an immigrant and a hardworking entrepreneur who had grown rich pairing his artistic skill with a talent for self-promotion. The unveiling of one of his canvases was a theatrical event. He sold tickets and planted news stories, strategies that one critic described as the "vast machinery of advertisement and puffery." A "great picture" was elaborately framed and installed in a room with carefully controlled lighting. At the appointed time, the work was revealed to thunderous applause.
Bierstadt painted Among the Sierra Nevada, California in his Rome studio, then showed the canvas in Berlin and London before shipping it to the United States. Works such as this fueled the image of America as a promised land just when Europeans were immigrating to this country in great numbers. When the painting was shown in Boston, one critic recognized that the landscape was a fiction invented from Bierstadt's sketches of the West. Nevertheless, the writer felt that it represented "what our scenery ought to be, if it is not so in reality."

Since getting porcelain veneers, I have been getting blackish/dark-colored stains on the area between the gum line and the veneer. My hygienist cannot even fully remove them. She says they are most likely red wine, tea, and coffee stains. Is there anything that can be done to reverse this staining?
What Can Be Done to Remove Dark-colored Staining Between a Porcelain Veneer and the Gum Line?
Doctor Answers 5
Dark line around veneers
The so called stain around veneers can be most likely associated with improper cementation of the veneers, lack of the cement in this areas and possibly starting decay. You should check what can be done to improve the aesthetic results with the dentist who performed this work.
Dark like around veneers is most likely due to improper fit and/or bonding
Properly fitting and bonded veneers should not stain at the gumline, even if you drink a lot of coffee, tea, and red wine. You could try to clean out those areas by smoothing and polishing and if needed filling in the areas with resin. This would help it look better but the real question is: is the same problem existing in between the teeth where you can't see it? Long term, this problem can cause leakage and decay (cavities) around the veneers which will lead to damage to your teeth. You may end up with full crowns or even root canals.
I would look into having them replaced and done properly.
Good luck
Marisa...this should not have happened!
Hi Marisa...I am so sorry about the staining along the gumline on your veneers. They were probably not placed correctly. The veneer must be placed, without any space, between the enamel of the tooth and the gumline. If there is a ledge or it is not totally smooth, there is a chance that the bonding was not done correctly and consequently, you have staining. You can have the dentist place composite bonding in that area and it will help, but i am sorry to hear the veneers were not placed properly! Your only other option is to have them redone and done correctly. If your dentist can not do them. I would seek out a good cosmetic dentist in your area and see at least two for consultations before you decide which avenue you want to take. Make sure you are happy with your veneers since you will have them for awhile!
You might also like...
Staining at Margin of Veneer
Probably a small defect between the edge of the veneer and the margin of the tooth. This area could most likely be airbrushed to remove stain, reetched and sealed with a matching composite resin. This should eliminate or greatly lesses the frequency and severity of the staining.
Dark Colored Staining Between Porcelain Veneer and Gum Line
Hard to diagnose without seeing a photo, but it MIGHT be a rough, incompletely bonded margin of the veneer. Veneer margin should be flush with the tooth's enamel, without any ledge nor gap. Ledges and gaps will tend to stain.

BASILDON fought back to secure a 7-7 draw at Holt in London Two North East
The Norfolk side went in front with a converted try but that seemed to galvanise the visitors and Basildon had the best of the next 10 minutes.
However, a combination of a strong Holt defence and handling errors with the greasy ball meant Basildon could not make the most of their opportunities.
In reply, Holt kicked well into the corners and it was Basildon' turn to defend well as they kept the score to 7-0 at half-time.
In the second half, Basildon were back on top and, following a rolling maul five metres out, Gary Burke crashed over. The conversion was very well taken in difficult conditions by prop Charlie Baker.
The rest of the match was almost all spent in the home side's 22 but Basildon could not break through as even stylish winger John Bonnet, normally a huge threat, was kept scoreless.
With a couple of minutes to go there was a ball spilt from a very good tackle by Holt and their winger sped 40 metres down field but it was winger Daniel Rowle who was Basildon's hero with a try saving tackle.
The draw also moved Basildon up to sixth in the table.

Teachers not thrilled with government's 10-year proposal
Noting there is a provincial election looming, the head of the Kamloops board of education said she welcomes any attempt to bring labour peace with the province's teachers.
Denise Harper said a proposal that would see changes to the education system and a 10-year agreement with public-school teachers would be welcome — if it could guarantee no more interruptions in the classroom.
For Jason Karpuk, president of the Kamloops-Thompson Teachers' Association, there is nothing in the proposal that he views as an incentive for teachers.
Harper said she would also welcome the stronger voice the proposal appears to include for the B.C. School Trustees Association, giving it a more direct voice not only at the bargaining table, but in a new $100-million Priority Education Investment Fund.
Now, the voice of trustees in negotiations must come through the B.C. Public School Employers' Association (BCPSEA).
In announcing the proposal, Premier Christy Clark said the goal of a 10-year agreement would be to ensure students can "go their entire school career without a disruption."
The proposal offers the B.C. Teachers' Federation (BCTF) a formal role in education-police decisions, a voice in the investment fund, indexing teacher salaries to increases in the province's public sector and a structured process to use mediators and conciliators to resolve bargaining impasses.
Karpuk said the plan flies in the face of a court ruling returning the right to bargain class size to teachers.
He said his colleagues in Kamloops are also angry they would lose the right to bargain their salaries.
"They would be indexed to what others negotiate," he said. "The teachers in the classroom are insulted by it."
Labour interruptions "are very disruptive to working families," Harper said, "and anything that could guarantee labour peace would be welcome because children do suffer when there are disruptions.
"However, having said that, I am aware there is an election coming [May 14], so I have to ask myself if this is an honest try" by the government to introduce a viable agreement with teachers.
Karpuk questioned the timing of the announcement, noting it occurred just before the BCTF was to meet with the BCPSEA to discuss a bargaining framework the two sides had already agreed could be a starting point to addressing the history of bargaining conflict between the two sides.
Losing the right to bargain class sizes is a serious issue, Karpuk said, noting the average class size in Kamloops ranges between 24 and 28 students.
Teachers can accept more students if they agree to it but, Karpuk said, if two students were taken out of all large classes, it would create new classes, giving work to teachers and enabling more one-on-one instruction time in schools — all a benefit to students.

I'd like to make my first cookie bouquet next month for an employee's birthday, but I've never made one, nor have I decorated a cookie before. It's too bad there isn't a tutorial on here that provides step by step instructions about it. But from I gathered from reading on here and elsewhere, is that people use the NFSC recipe and the antionia74 royal icing recipe, roll it out to 1/2", insert sticks into cookies and bake on a flat cookie sheet, let cool on cookie sheet for a couple of minutes and lightly flatten cookie and transfer to cooling rack and let cool before decorating.
Could I use 9" bambo skewers for the cookies? Also, how do I go about decorating the cookies? What do I do if I want certain details, like writing? Does anyone have any other tips on creating a cookie bouquet?
puzzlegut, I don't know how to answer to your questions. Actually I was about to ask the other members. For what I've read the antonia74 icing has pretty good reviews from the other members. I'm waiting to see what the experts are going to say.
Check out this link Cake_ Princess does a mini tutorial:
Oh and here's another one :
Thanks for the links. What I want to do is do a movie themed cookie bouquet with cookies that look like a bucket of popcorn, movie ticket, etc. Unfortunately those specific cookie cutters are expensive. But I'm sure I could improvise. What I want to know is what icing would be best for those type of decorations, like doing red and white strips on the popcorn bucket as well as show the popcorn pieces and making a movie ticket with words.
I have made lots of different cookies using the NFSC recipe with Antonia74's icing. You can find her recipes and technique for icing the cookies in her tutorial (under the Articles tab) titled "How to bake & decorate cookies".
It works well for flooding the cookies as well as the design work and writing on them. I have a couple of examples in my photos, if you want to take a look.
You can make templates and hand-cut your shapes, if you don't want to buy the cutters. I've done a couple that way, and while I wouldn't want to hand-cut hundreds, it's not too bad for a dozen or so . . .
Thanks for the help. Just to make sure, the cookie dough should be 1/2" thick correct? It also bakes at 350 correct? For how long do you normally bake the cookies and does it matter the position of the cookie sheet on the rack?
Also, do you absolutely have to use royal icing for the cookies? Couldn't a crusting buttercream work just as well? I also have a tub of cookie/cinnamon bun icing that I got from GFS, I was wondering if that might work too.
Puzzlegut, I bake the cookie until right before the edges brown. I like mine soft, though. I use the NFSC and you do bake at 350. Depends on how big the cookie is for timing, though. You can do butter cream, but it may smoosh when you package it. You might think of doing buttercream base w/ Antonia's or royal details. Like w/ your popcorn bucket, maybe do the popcorn in royal so that it helps the buttercream come in direct contact w/ something smooshing it. I usually use rolled buttercream and royal details. HTH, and good luck. I'm sure it'll turn out great, don't forget to show us when you're finished!
MMF ( marshmallow fondant) works Great for a base coat too...it lets you be able to start decorating quicker.. i did my first mmf this week so now im a mmf pusher...lol...
I was wondering if it would be possible to add a little bit of meriguen (sp?) powder to my buttercream so that if I decorate the cookies with buttercream that it'll set a little better?
Also, are 9" bambo skewers okay for the cookie bouquets?
I think that 9" bamboo skewers are ok and if you want you can make them shorter or keep them long
puzzlegut - I recentely made my first cookie bouquet, see in my photos. I did not bake the stick with the cookies. As soon as the cookies came out of the oven, I stuck in the bamboo skewer and let the cookies cool. When they cooled, the cookies contracted and held on to the bamboo sticks. When you ice your cookies, put a little dab of icing on the bit where you stuck in the skewer. It holds it in and I did not have any problems.
I've been reading up on the cookie bouquets and there are still a few contrasts in what I've read. Do you insert your stick before baking or after baking? Also, how long do you bake the cookie that is 1/2" thick?
I put my stick in afterwards as soon as they're out of the oven. But you could also do it before. Either way works; you'll just have to find the one that works best for you. I found that using skewers when I stick them in after they're cooked works better than using lollipop stick or cookie sticks. Don't know why though
Sorry can't help with the 1/2" cook time though. I always make mine 1/4".
I was wondering if it would be possible to add a little bit of meriguen (sp?) powder to my buttercream so that if I decorate the cookies with buttercream that it'll set a little better?
I use buttercream to decorate all of my sugar cookies. You sure could add some meringue powder to your bc and it will work just fine. Make sure you let the cookies sit til the bc is dry before you stack them or anything. Works like a charm everytime for me and I prefer the taste of bc to ri. Good luck!
I need to have the cookie bouquet done by Sunday. Any suggestions on what day I should bake the cookies and when I should decorate them?
To have them ready to bag on Saturday, I'd bake and do the base coat no later than Thursday, although you can do it a day or two sooner if it's more convenient. Allow some time for the base coat to dry before doing the details, if you're using Antonia's icing. (If you're using fondant on your cookies, you won't need the drying time, so you could wait 'til Friday to start if you wanted to.)
Also, if you need to (or want to) do the cookies even sooner, you can always freeze them after baking, then thaw when you're ready to decorate (at room temp in a sealed container, until they thaw completely). This makes it easier to spread the work out over the week rather than trying to fit it all in at once.
I insert my sticks after the cookies have come out of the oven- to answer the question about baking time, I bake my cookies or only 9 minutes, 2 minutes more if they are larger cookies!
I make my cookies for a boquet 1/2", bake at 365 for 6 minutes, then turn the cookie sheet and bake another 6 minutes. I also insert the stick before I bake the cookies.
I think you could bake the cookies any day and seal them really well or freeze them. In my opinion sugar cookies taste better when they are a little older. I would decroate them the day before so that they have plenty of time to set and wrap.
What buttercream recipe do you use and how much meringue powder do you add?
Will this make the icing hard so the cookies can be bagged or stacked? Thanks in advance
I know I'm waaaay late on this, but thought I'd respond too... I use the snow white buttercream from Wilton for everything (with a few minor changes), including cookies. I also use the cookie recipe I got from the cookie class given by Wilton. I did a bouquet today and realized its a lot of work so make sure you charge enough. Its a lot more work then cake, (of course my cakes are still fairly simple), so its easy to be harder than cake. ha ha
You asked about prices you can look on my web site under cookie bouquets and I have prices listed.
WE should charge more but its a hard sell right now we are the only ones doing them in our town and it takes time for everyone to digest the prices we will be rasing them in 2007 from $1.50ea indiv wrapped to $2.50 or $3.00 ea hope this helps.

Read Across America Day touted by Obama
It's a great day to pick up a book! U.S. President Barack Obama on Friday issued a presidential proclamation declaring March 2 as Read Across America Day.
Obama, who was a former law professor, stressed the need to enhance literacy across the United States.
"From infancy through adulthood, reading enriches the human experience and illuminates the path to learning, opportunity, and success. By sharing the beauty and power of books with our children, we make a vital investment not only in their future, but also in an America that leads the world in educating its people," Obama said in the proclamation.
"As we celebrate Read Across America Day in our homes, schools, and libraries, let us recommit to empowering every child with a strong start and a passion for the written word," Obama said.
The commemorative day also comes on the same day as the birthday of Theodor Seuss Geisel—Dr. Seuss—the famed children's author. Dr. Seuss, Obama said, was "an author whose fanciful wordplay and whimsical tales continue to delight young readers around the world. Dr. Seuss's stories evoke the unlimited potential for imagination and inspiration on the printed page, and they remind us of the countless ways reading enhances our lives."
"The journey to literacy begins early and continues throughout childhood. Parents and caregivers can play an essential role in developing fundamental skills by reading aloud regularly, helping children explore new words and concepts, and instilling enthusiasm for language and storytelling. These first lessons help pave the way for a love of reading that can last a lifetime," Obama said.
The president also called on parents, families, educators, and public officials to observe the day as well as work to "reinforce reading proficiency and build critical thinking skills that provide the foundation for a world-class education."
