Great restaurant! We were hoping to find a great mexican place to put on our bucket list of North Myrtle Beach restaurants. We found it!
Great service, seated fast, chips were on the table almost as fast as we were seated. Really enjoyed the spicy cheese dip and chips. Rice and fajitas were awsome. Manager came around to ensure we were satisified. This will be a regular visit for us each year.

This was a great little place for a quick lunch time stop over. For the price I paid, I cannot complain, though I found the food average. I will go back for dinner some time, and would definately go back for lunch.

My daughters entree was supposed to be served with guacamole and it was not. My husband's and my fried taco's were not what we had expected. We were expecting a grilled taco shell, instead only the shrimp inside was grilled and the flour tortillas were limp and gross. I ended up dumping all the shrimp on my plate and throwing away the flour tortillas.

We love Mexican food and when we find one that stands out we continue to visit. Food came fast and plenty of it for the price. Can't wait till our next visit this summer to have it again.

Kissing Architecture
Kissing Architecture explores the mutual attraction between architecture and other forms of contemporary art. In this fresh, insightful, and beautifully illustrated book, renowned architectural critic and scholar Sylvia Lavin develops the concept of "kissing" to describe the growing intimacy between architecture and new types of art--particularly multimedia installations that take place in and on the surfaces of buildings--and to capture the sensual charge that is being designed and built into architectural surfaces and interior spaces today. Initiating readers into the guilty pleasures of architecture that abandons the narrow focus on function, Lavin looks at recent work by Pipilotti Rist, Doug Aitken, the firm Diller Scofidio + Renfro, and others who choose instead to embrace the viewer in powerful affects and visual and sensory atmospheres.
Kissing Architecture is the first book in a cutting-edge new series of short, focused arguments written by leading critics, historians, theorists, and practitioners from the world of urban development and contemporary architecture and design. These books are intended to spark vigorous debate. They stake out the positions that will help shape the architecture and urbanism of tomorrow. Addressing one of the most spectacular and significant developments in the current cultural scene, Kissing Architecture is an entertainingly irreverent and disarmingly incisive book that offers an entirely new way of seeing--and experiencing--architecture in the age after representation.
"Informed, contemporary conversations on architecture presented in this format are sure to engage critics, historians, practitioners, artists as well as the general public. For the architect long out of school, yet still passionate about the profession, this series of extended essays should be a welcome addition to their reading lists."--Donna Wax, New York Journal of Books
"The book's arguments are framed by well-chosen, nicely illustrated case studies. . . . [T]he book presents important and relevant ideas that deserve consideration."--Choice
"[Lavin] smartly keeps her writing light, playfully drawing out her extended analogy of kissing throughout the book's four sections. If this is your first rendezvous with Lavin, I hope that she will soon become one of your steadies. . . . May you fall madly in love."--Elissa Favero, Yellow Umbrella blog
"In the most sober assessment I can offer, I find Sylvia Lavin's Kissing Architecture to rank among the most original writings in contemporary art discourse I have ever read. Utterly disarming, it is wondrous, brilliant, innocent, naughty, trite, hilarious, fresh, weightless, and profound. Simply put, I am mad for it."--Jeffrey M. Kipnis, Ohio State University
"Kissing Architecture is a work of wit and intelligence sprinkled with just a microgram of L.A. antiestablishment venom, and enough bite to make you almost afraid to put it down lest you miss something urgently worth knowing about. Lavin is poised to become one of the most important writers on architecture since the 1970s, and this book is surely a significant step toward that inevitability."--K. Michael Hays, author of Architecture's Desire

Marion County sends you a Code Red
Thu, 05 Jul 2012 23:22:42 GMT —
Marion County is ready to send you a Code Red.
It's a new emergency alert system that uses your landline telephone.
But if you or your business don't have a landline, you have to sign up with your cell phone number.
All you need to sign up is your cell phone and the internet.
"You can go in on one of four websites and click on one of those any four sites a banner that's going to pop up and fill out the information and add your cell phone," John Hark, Marion County Emergency Management Director said.
When signing up online, you can choose the type of alerts you want to receive and how often you want to get them.
There is no emergency too small for the Code Red Emergency Alert System. It's available for Marion County law enforcement, fire, medical and first response teams, plus weather and other warnings.
"The NOAA National Weather is going to automatically going to come out," Hark said. "The other messages that we put out will give it to 9-1-1, they simply encode the area that has to be included and they push the button and the voice call goes out."
Hark does not believe this should be your only source for emergency information.
"Don't think this should replace the sirens or weather radios or any one of them replaces the other it doesn't this is just yet a redundant system to help keep things going," Hark said.
But having these alerts at resident's finger tips could save lives.
"If we can get the word to the public then they can maybe protect themselves a little better and if we can save life in limb then we've done exactly what we wanted to do," Hark said.
If you live in Marion County, do not have a land line and would like to sign up for Code Red, click here.

Trinidad Jame$ Takes It To His Homeland For 'Female$ Welcomed' [VIDEO]
Trinidad Jame$ made a huge impact when he dropped the music video for his debut single 'All Gold Everything.' For his follow up single 'Females Welcomed' he took it to his homeland of Trinidad for a video that is just as good, if not better, than his previous anthem.
The latest single off of his critically acclaimed mixtape (Don't Be S.A.F.E) has an infectious hook, and even a nice transition to dubstep that is sure to be catchy once the single takes off. The video is directed by Jonathan Mannion and features Jame$ taking in the culture of Trinidad during Carnival.
It's crazy, because A$AP Rocky and Skrillex just dropped the video for 'Wild For The Night' that almost looks identical to this one, but Trinidad gives us fire, exotic women, and pull-ups on city infrastructure? You just can't go wrong with that combination. Ever.
Don't believe me? Just watch.

Dear Reader,
Have you seen the Conspiracy Keanu meme where dear Mr. Reeves has one of those "Whoa" expressions on his face because he just had a thought that nearly made his brain go 'splody? I kind of feel like that right now. In May of 2011 I was saying hello to you all for the first time with my debut, HOUNDED. Now it's a year later and I've published four books in The Iron Druid Chronicles. If you haven't read them yet, it's kind of like this:
Well, it's a little bit more involved than that, but Conspiracy Keanu is correct, some of them are naked. The really dangerous ones, for example. Since urban fantasy as a genre is essentially a mash-up—put some fantasy critters in a contemporary urban setting and see what happens—I embraced that approach and decided to explore what would happen if all gods existed according to the beliefs of their worshippers. Since the series is told from a first person POV, you get to meet them as the hero, Atticus O'Sullivan, does. While the Irish pantheon is prominent, quite a bit of attention is paid to the Norse as well, and we also get visits from the Greco-Roman gods, in addition to cameos from the pantheons of India, Africa, Finland, China, Japan, and Russia, and some notable luminaries from the Christian tradition.
I didn't write four books in a year—they just got released that way. That's great for readers because they can dive deep into a new series without having to wait.
The latest book in the series, TRICKED, finds Atticus on the Navajo reservation and dealing with a magic system wildly different from his own. He also has to deal with the shenanigans of Coyote, the trickster, as well as fallout from his past adventures in Asgard, where he had a throwdown with Odin, Thor, and other members of the Norse.
The process of writing TRICKED was far more difficult than any of my previous books—and, since book five, TRAPPED, was recently finished with very few snags, it remains the toughest book I've completed to date. Luckily, I have one of the most brilliant editors in the business—Tricia Narwani—and she was able to nudge me in the right direction to make the changes I needed. We work really well together, in part because we both dig heavy metal and can admire, from afar, the verdant, untamed growth of the epic fantasy beard and the awesome effort it must take every morning not to attack the unruly tangle with a gas-powered hedge trimmer.* Because of this easy working relationship, we co-wrote a rather detailed post about the novel revision process that might prove illuminating to anyone interested in the craft of writing.
If you desire illumination on anything else—including my series—please visit my website. Feel free to say howdy to me on Twitter @kevinhearne, and I have an author page on Facebook as well.
Happy Reading!
Kevin Hearne
*This is patently untrue. We both secretly wish we could grow epic fantasy beards and we're just jealous. Well, perhaps it's solely my issue, if I'm honest. I suspect Tricia may be okay with walking the world beardless. But I'm also convinced that she empathizes and understands every fantasy fan's desire to grow a luxurious face thicket.

see all...Viewing 3 out of 12 projects
My approach to ideation is to encourage a balance between visionary concepts and pragmatic execution. I believe that good design is attainable to all, and that good design also coincides with "responsible design". I am passionate and driven by what I do, and seek to surround myself with those who have such a fervor.

Architects Group Practice, Alexandria, VA, US, Architectural Designer
My primary role at ARGP is as an architectural designer, however, I also provide supporting functions such as marketing (new website, client relations, competitions) and office management (supplies, systemic organization, materials library). I have had involvement in a variety of new construction and renovation projects in automotive, commercial, hospitality, religious and residential typologies through bidding, schematic design, design development, and contract documents. Every site visit, code analysis, and contract review has provided valuable learning experience, and I am constantly seeking continuing education opportunities to maintain professional and academic relevance.
Possemato Studio Architetti, Solopaca, IT, Architectural Intern
My time with Studio Possemato developed into an international experience wherein I was fortunate enough to work on various local projects and competitions under the guidance of Franco Possemato and Girolamo D'Agostino. Projects included interior design, furniture design, graphic design, digital modeling (Rhinoceros), rendering, post-processing, as well as photo documentation of past and present projects by the firm.
L'Heureux Page Werner Architecture, Great Falls, MT, US, Architectural Intern, Web Designer
For my first position within an architectural setting, I was tasked with the design of an entirely fresh replacement website for this mid-sized firm, utilizing Adobe Dreamweaver, Photoshop and Illustrator. This venture included a collaboration with an outside consultant to enable the website with flash. An additional function of mine within the firm was the photo documentation of past and present works of L'Heureux Page Werner, many of which were featured on the website. The firm allowed me to observe their marketing, presentation, and construction process, as well as experience a side of architecture concerned with regionalism and influences of schooling.

A Young Dr with a Great Eye for Making You Look Younger and Fresh. Has a Good Eye for Balance and Harmony - Beverly Hills, CA
Do as much preventative as you can it works!...
I have known Dr V for Five years . The first time I had a consultation I was forty and feeling it! I live and work in the Beverly hills area and I'm also in the beauty field. I was very aware of what I did not want to look like! We had a great consultation and agreed that the "knife" was not an option for me, we were going to do every thing else. Filler ,laser and Botox. After five years of his expertise and guidance I look fresh and happy. My husband (who's not aware of every thing I do) looks at me and says "you just look amazing you never age!" that's the good Dr V I think to my self. I have referred him to my co workers and clients they all fell in love with his ability to get it and get it right. I can't praise him enough!

Some Highlights From Pope's U.K. Addresses
BY Edward Pentin
| Posted 9/21/10 at 1:50 PM
The Pope shared much of his wisdom during his recent momentous visit to Britain. Here's a selection of quotations that struck me as particularly important, though no doubt I've missed a few:
"The Church is at the service of Another; it does not serve itself, seeking to be a strong body, but it strives to make the Gospel of Jesus Christ accessible, the great truths, the great powers of love and of reconciliation that appeared in this figure and that come always from the presence of Jesus Christ. In this sense, the Church does not seek to be attractive, but rather to make herself transparent for Jesus Christ…It is then when the Church is heard and accepted."
- Press conference with journalists on the papal plane, 16 September 2010
"As we reflect on the sobering lessons of the atheist extremism of the twentieth century, let us never forget how the exclusion of God, religion and virtue from public life leads ultimately to a truncated vision of man and of society and thus to a 'reductive vision of the person and his destiny.'"
- Meeting with state authorities at Holyroodhouse, Edinburgh, 16 September 2010
"Society today needs clear voices which propose our right to live, not in a jungle of self-destructive and arbitrary freedoms, but in a society which works for the true welfare of its citizens and offers them guidance and protection in the face of their weakness and fragility. Do not be afraid to take up this service to your brothers and sisters, and to the future of your beloved nation."
[To young people:] "There are many temptations placed before you every day - drugs, money, sex, pornography, alcohol - which the world tells you will bring you happiness, yet these things are destructive and divisive. There is only one thing which lasts: the love of Jesus Christ personally for each one of you. Search for him, know him and love him, and he will set you free from slavery to the glittering but superficial existence frequently proposed by today's society. Put aside what is worthless and learn of your own dignity as children of God."
- Homily at Bellahouston Park, Glasgow, 16 September 2010
"The task of a teacher is not simply to impart information or to provide training in skills intended to deliver some economic benefit to society; education is not and must never be considered as purely utilitarian. It is about forming the human person, equipping him or her to live life to the full – in short it is about imparting wisdom. And true wisdom is inseparable from knowledge of the Creator, for 'both we and our words are in his hand, as are all understanding and skill in crafts.'"
- Meeting with representatives from the world of Catholic education, St. Mary's University College, London, 17 September 2010
"What God wants most of all for each one of you is that you should become holy. He loves you much more than you could ever begin to imagine, and he wants the very best for you. And by far the best thing for you is to grow in holiness."
"Happiness is something we all want, but one of the great tragedies in this world is that so many people never find it, because they look for it in the wrong places. The key to it is very simple – true happiness is to be found in God."
"Once you enter into friendship with God, everything in your life begins to change. As you come to know him better, you find you want to reflect something of his infinite goodness in your own life. You are attracted to the practice of virtue. You begin to see greed and selfishness and all the other sins for what they really are, destructive and dangerous tendencies that cause deep suffering and do great damage, and you want to avoid falling into that trap yourselves. You begin to feel compassion for people in difficulties and you are eager to do something to help them. You want to come to the aid of the poor and the hungry, you want to comfort the sorrowful, you want to be kind and generous. And once these things begin to matter to you, you are well on the way to becoming saints."
- Discourse to young students, St. Mary's University College, London, 17 September 2010
"Genuine religious belief points us beyond present utility towards the transcendent. It reminds us of the possibility and the imperative of moral conversion, of the duty to live peaceably with our neighbour, of the importance of living a life of integrity."
- Address to leaders of other religions, St. Mary's University College, London, 17 September 2010
"On the one hand, the surrounding culture is growing ever more distant from its Christian roots, despite a deep and widespread hunger for spiritual nourishment. On the other hand, the increasingly multicultural dimension of society, particularly marked in this country, brings with it the opportunity to encounter other religions. For us Christians this opens up the possibility of exploring, together with members of other religious traditions, ways of bearing witness to the transcendent dimension of the human person and the universal call to holiness, leading to the practice of virtue in our personal and social lives. Ecumenical cooperation in this task remains essential, and will surely bear fruit in promoting peace and harmony in a world that so often seems at risk of fragmentation."
- Courtesy visit to the archbishop of Canterbury, Lambeth Palace, London, 17 September 2010
"If the moral principles underpinning the democratic process are themselves determined by nothing more solid than social consensus, then the fragility of the process becomes all too evident - herein lies the real challenge for democracy."
"The Catholic tradition maintains that the objective norms governing right action are accessible to reason, prescinding from the content of revelation. According to this understanding, the role of religion in political debate is not so much to supply these norms, as if they could not be known by non-believers – still less to propose concrete political solutions, which would lie altogether outside the competence of religion – but rather to help purify and shed light upon the application of reason to the discovery of objective moral principles."
"Without the corrective supplied by religion, though, reason too can fall prey to distortions, as when it is manipulated by ideology, or applied in a partial way that fails to take full account of the dignity of the human person. Such misuse of reason, after all, was what gave rise to the slave trade in the first place and to many other social evils, not least the totalitarian ideologies of the twentieth century."
"Religion [is] not a problem for legislators to solve, but a vital contributor to the national conversation."
- Speech to civil and political leaders, Westminster Hall, London, 18 September 2010
"I think of the immense suffering caused by the abuse of children, especially within the Church and by her ministers. Above all, I express my deep sorrow to the innocent victims of these unspeakable crimes, along with my hope that the power of Christ's grace, his sacrifice of reconciliation, will bring deep healing and peace to their lives. I also acknowledge, with you, the shame and humiliation which all of us have suffered because of these sins."
- Mass in Westminster Cathedral, London, 18 September 2010
"As the normal span of our lives increases, our physical capacities are often diminished; and yet these times may well be among the most spiritually fruitful years of our lives. These years are an opportunity to remember in affectionate prayer all those whom we have cherished in this life, and to place all that we have personally been and done before the mercy and tenderness of God. This will surely be a great spiritual comfort and enable us to discover anew his love and goodness all the days of our life."
- St. Peter's Residence home for the elderly, London, 18 September 2010
"In our own time, the price to be paid for fidelity to the Gospel is no longer being hanged, drawn and quartered but it often involves being dismissed out of hand, ridiculed or parodied. And yet, the Church cannot withdraw from the task of proclaiming Christ and his Gospel as saving truth, the source of our ultimate happiness as individuals and as the foundation of a just and humane society."
"No one who looks realistically at our world today could think that Christians can afford to go on with business as usual, ignoring the profound crisis of faith which has overtaken our society, or simply trusting that the patrimony of values handed down by the Christian centuries will continue to inspire and shape the future of our society. We know that in times of crisis and upheaval God has raised up great saints and prophets for the renewal of the Church and Christian society; we trust in his providence and we pray for his continued guidance. But each of us, in accordance with his or her state of life, is called to work for the advancement of God's Kingdom by imbuing temporal life with the values of the Gospel. Each of us has a mission, each of us is called to change the world, to work for a culture of life, a culture forged by love and respect for the dignity of each human person."
- Prayer vigil on eve of Cardinal Newman's beatification, Hyde Park, 18 September 2010
"He [Blessed John Henry Newman] reminds us that faithfulness to prayer gradually transforms us into the divine likeness. As he wrote in one of his many fine sermons, 'a habit of prayer, the practice of turning to God and the unseen world in every season, in every place, in every emergency – prayer, I say, has what may be called a natural effect in spiritualizing and elevating the soul. A man is no longer what he was before; gradually … he has imbibed a new set of ideas, and become imbued with fresh principles.'"
"What better goal could teachers of religion set themselves than Blessed John Henry's famous appeal for an intelligent, well-instructed laity: 'I want a laity, not arrogant, not rash in speech, not disputatious, but men who know their religion, who enter into it, who know just where they stand, who know what they hold and what they do not, who know their creed so well that they can give an account of it, who know so much of history that they can defend it' (The Present Position of Catholics in England, ix, 390)."
- Beatification Mass of Cardinal John Henry Newman, Birmingham, 19 September 2010
"As you proclaim the coming of the Kingdom, with its promise of hope for the poor and the needy, the sick and the elderly, the unborn and the neglected, be sure to present in its fulness the life-giving message of the Gospel, including those elements which call into question the widespread assumptions of today's culture."
"I pray that among the graces of this visit will be a renewed dedication on the part of Christian leaders to the prophetic vocation they have received, and a new appreciation on the part of the people for the great gift of the ordained ministry. Prayer for vocations will then arise spontaneously."
- Address to Bishops of England, Wales and Scotland, Oscott College, 19 September 2010

Stay away from presets! D:
I really enjoyed the general composition of this piece, but it's not very hard to tell that you're new to FL studio. x.x
This isn't a bad thing, but if I may I would like to give you some pointers...
Right off the bat with this song I noticed the preset sytrus sample. Your best bet is to never ever ever use a preset sample, because chances are someone else has used that sample as well. Try layering samples on top of each other to get a really unique lead, and then use effects to alter them throughout your song...
Also, Try to change your melodies up a tad more; this gets a tad repetitive x.x
Good effort bro, just keep working at it!

Thanks for the feedback! I'll definitely try layering some things.

Party time!
Well this is a great party piece I think. It starts out slow and picks up making you feel real good and happy as well. The song just seems to flow rather well and makes you feel a bit hyper yet calm and mellow at the same time. Sounds really good so not too bad here.
The synth sounds like something from a video game actually, nice. The bass is nice and I like the dynamic piano notes giving a dark echo like feel as if a boss battle was going to be starting very soon as well. The drums are great here and very smooth in rhythm almost never stopping for a moment which feels great to me I think and makes me pretty happy to hear it.
Overall, really nice party song, dark, calm, and smooth.

FORT CAMPBELL, Ky. (AP) – More of the "Rakkasans" have returned to Fort Campbell from Afghanistan.
The plane carrying nearly 90 members of the 3rd Brigade Combat Team of the 101st Airborne Division touched down at the U.S. Army post on the Kentucky-Tennessee border Sunday evening.
Environmental and science engineering officer Julie Bridges was surrounded by family, including her husband, Terrell Bridges, and the couple's 7- and 13-year-old children.
Julie Bridges told The Leaf-Chronicle the deployment was a good one, but she was so glad to be home.
Another 170 members of the 3rd Brigade came home April 26. The deployment lasted nine months.

Sign up for our weekly email * Print HTML The Tenth of December by George Saunders Acclaimed short-story writer George Saunders darkly satirises modern life in his fourth anthology, The Tenth of December..Through the eyes and minds of ten characters, it envisages the gulf between dreams and reality in suburban America. For Joel Lovell, of the New York Times, it is the "best book you'll read this year". Other critics' praise is more reserved. David Wolf, writing in The Observer, applauds the author's skillful storytelling and "the exhilirating explosion of slang, neologisms and fake product names". Saunders' writing is at once comparable to Kurt Vonnegut's "deadpan absurdism" and The Simpsons with his mix of "crude and sophisticated satire" and warm optimism. Nevertheless, Wolf criticises the inability of the MacArthur Genius Award winner to develop his writing style: "Saunders' first collection for six years delivers all we expect but nothing new." He added: "It seems like he's stuck." In a review that charts Saunders' backlash against his former idol and arch-rationalist Ayn Rand, Ludovic Hunter-Tilney welcomes the "sustained attack on the ideology of individualism." For the Financial Times writer, it "overturns the belief that altruism is evil and instead suggests that helping others is the core component of our being". The "blackly comic" book is only criticised for the tendency of the ten stories to seem formulaic because of Saunders' distinctive style. Alice Charles' review for the Huffington Post UK, while commending The Tenth of December for its insight into characters' minds, similarly criticises its repetitiveness. The habit of revisiting characters, themes and ideas "in a collection of just ten stories, feels like a bit of a cheat." The Last Days of Detroit by Mark Binelli Mark Binelli's Last days of Detroit, soon to be reviewed in the New Statesman, tells the story of the boom and bust of what was once America's fourth largest city. A former Detroit-native himself, the critics are divided on the perspective this brings for Binelli's telling book. Andy Beckett writes for the Guardian, and points to the author's "busy, knowing prose" as the cause for the frequently quick and flippant tone; highlighted on one occasion where Binelli heedlessly skims over three decades of history exclaiming that "nothing much interesting happened in Detroit for the next thirty or so years …". Beckett is more critical of the beginning of the book, where he claims it reads more like a book proposal than a book itself, "authoritative but self-conscious, switching restlessly between past and present", however he praises Binelli on his subsequent coverage of Detroit's decline. Rose Jacobs of the Financial Times finds that Binelli provides a charming narrative, managing to associate with the reader through personal asides and footnotes that show him to be "playing the tongue-tied non-expert". As amiable as this may be at times, asserts Jacobs, the "ingenue's approach" was also occasionally irksome. She concludes that the success of the book waivers, completely relying upon the subjects interviewed in each chapter. Mick Brown's review for The Telegraph commends Mark Binelli, deeming him "an assiduous reporter" and credits him with avoiding making the book an epitaph of Detroit. He identifies Binelli's optimism amongst the 'devastation porn' that was the decline, but does query the lack of photographs that would have been so fitting in what is "otherwise an excellent book". An English Affair by Richard Davenport Hines Celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Profumo affair, Richard Davenport-Hines bawdily retells how the war minister romanced the reputed mistress of a Soviet spy, Christine Keeler. In the throes of Cold War fever, politicians and the media convulsed at the idea of high-risk "pillow talk" that, followed by lying in the commons, forced resignation and framing, purportedly sowed the seeds of Macmillan's demise. The English Affair: Sex Class and Power in the Age of Profumo has divided critics who draw different lessons from the 1963 event. Susan Elkin, writing in The Independent, praises Davenport-Hines as a "sparkling and compelling writer" and meticulous researcher. She draws parallels with the present: "it is hard to read his book without reflecting that we are still agonising over press freedom and the extent to which private lives are relevant to public office." By contrast, Vernon Bogdanor craves more context in the "racy read". An English Affair re-runs a widely-told old story; "It is not entirely clear what purpose is served by further exhumation." The New Statesman writer speculates that the affair thwarted chances of a Conservative election victory in 1964 that may have forced Labour to modernise 30 years before Blair. "The consequences are far more important than the cultural implications that Davenport-Hines analyses." The Guardian's Blake Morrison nonetheless welcomes An English Affair as "an antidote to the current nostalgia for the period". It exposes the "double standards of the early 60s" in which the welfare state, far from banishing spivs, encouraged a new generation of merchant adventurers who "transformed the capital with brutal phallic modernity". "For anyone who imagines things were better in the age of 'never had it so good'," writes Morrisson, "this book should be compulsory reading." › Clegg has nothing to lose and much to gain from his phone-in show Detroit River during a race, the Detroit skyline in the background.

the pioneer actor implicitly considering him a rival. Meanwhile, the producer of �Eyes of Laura Mars� made use of the most popular genre at that time, suspense-thriller to gain profit. The movie told about a fashion photographer played by Faye Dunaway who suddenly had the ability to 'see' a serial killer in his work, then she hired a police detective played by Tommy to catch the killer.
The 1981 Golden Globe Awards nominated Tommy for his role in �Coal Miner's Daughter� (1980) while ironically his opposite, Sissy Spacek won an Oscar in the same year. Not learning from his mistakes, the next year Tommy showed a bad-working attitude in �Back Roads� (1981). He was impatient towards people whom he thought were wasting his time. His co-star Sally Field expressed her disappointment �I never want to work with him again�. The disgrace, however, didn't stop him from meeting his second wife, Kimberlea Gayle Cloughley. They were married on May 30, 1981 and had two children, Austin Leonard Jones and Victoria Kafka Jones.
Being only nominated so far, this time he came out as a winner in the 1983 Emmy Awards for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Limited Series or Limited Special category through TV movie �The Executioner's Song� (1982). The brilliantly portrayed character of a criminal, who chose to be executed than life-imprisoned, was regarded as very disturbing yet very human at the same time. After such a gleaming performance, he didn't score anymore hit until seven years later in mini series �Lonesome Dove� (1989) where he worked with Robert Duvall and nominated for 1989 Emmy and 1990 Golden Globe. After that, he presented uncanny suspect of the assassination of Kennedy in successful movie �JFK� (1991).
Next appeared in �The Package� (1989) had earned him an opportunity to work with director Andrew Davis who would later direct him again in his biggest strike, �The Fugitive� (1993). With Harrison Ford as Dr Richard Kimble, a husband who was wrongly accused of killing his own wife, Tommy acted as the U.S. Marshal who pursued Dr. Kimble. This movie noted him as very apt to such character. For the worth-watching acting, in 1994 he finally got his first Oscar for Best Actor in a Supporting Role, a Golden Globe for Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role in a Motion Picture, and an MTV Movie Award for Best On-Screen Duo shared with

Huskies appear stable on the offensive line
The Washington Huskies' offensive line, an area of instability last season due to injuries, has been solid during spring practice.
Seattle Times staff reporter
One of the least stable position groups for the Washington Huskies last year — the offensive line — has been maybe the most constant as the football team completes spring practice this week.
The Huskies started six different offensive-line alignments in 13 games last season.
And that came after a revolving door of a spring in which UW lost the player some thought might be the anchor, guard Colin Porter, to career-ending shoulder surgery.
"As the guys were getting injured into fall camp last year it felt like a new face, a new number in there at right guard, then left guard, then right tackle," said UW coach Steve Sarkisian.
The line this spring, though, has been a rock of consistency, the same five players running with the starting unit since the first practice in March — left tackle Micah Hatchie, left guard Dexter Charles, center Mike Criste, right guard James Atoe and right tackle Ben Riva. All received significant experience last year.
The only starter lost off the 2012 line was center Drew Schaefer. Criste, who started seven games at guard and tackle last year, has been one of the breakout players of the spring by grabbing the center job.
Still, given the erratic play last season, there was thought the line could see serious shuffling, even at the spots where starters returned.
Sarkisian said that could still happen in the fall, when injured former starters Erik Kohler and Colin Tanigawa return to full health, and if emerging sophomore Shane Brostek shakes off nagging injuries.
Sarkisian said he expects that in UW's new up-tempo, no-huddle offense, the Huskies will have to rotate players up front more often.
But for now, the five starters have earned their roles.
"We were seeing if anybody could bump anybody out of there," Sarkisian said. "I think if we were to play a game we would probably play seven, eight offensive linemen, especially when we get Tanigawa back. We are going to see some different guys. With the tempo we are playing at, to think you are only going to play five offensive linemen isn't realistic."
When Tanigawa and Kohler return, UW will have seven players who have started at least seven games in their careers, the kind of depth the Huskies have not had in Sarkisian's first four seasons.
Charles, a sophomore from Stanwood, says he thinks there could be a big payoff in the fall to the consistency of the line this spring.
"I feel like it can make us tremendously better," said Charles, who started the final 11 games last season after Tanigawa was lost to a season-ending knee injury. "It helps us a lot because we get to know how each other plays. We can communicate. We know how the calls between each other are going to sound and how they are going to be like. We know what to expect from one another."
Spring game format announced
The Huskies will hold their annual spring game at 4 p.m. Saturday at Memorial Stadium. There is no admission charge. The game will be televised on the Pac-12 Networks.
Sarkisian said that due to a number of nagging injuries it will be more of a practice than a game.
"We're a little bit nicked up, so ... we are going to have a practice with scrimmage segments broken out between. We will have four scrimmage segments broken out in a practice format," Sarkisian said.
"That being said, there should be some fun stuff that takes place in the competitions we will do."
He said no score will be kept and that "we are going to do situational work, red zone, two-minute, backed-up situations, overtime, things like that."

I had the opportunity to travel from Tennessee to meet with 3 friends I graduated from high school with. We were treated like family from the moment we arrived until we left. The breakfast was delicious, and the couple that owns the ranch delightful. One of my high school friends is taking his bird and going back for a visit. You will miss out if you do not take a trip to this bed and breakfast.

In a terrific location on a quiet side street in the centre of town, Ararat Park Hyatt has an excellent concierge service. There are 216 rooms and suites, arranged around a vast atrium. The spectacular Winter Garden suites have glass walls and rooftop terraces. The Armenian restaurant, Café Ararat, is excellent; there's also a spa and a pool. Have vodka shots on the roof, with the magical Moscow skyline behind you. Sunday brunch in winter includes Veuve Clicquot. Another plus point? You can walk nearly everywhere from here, including to the best restaurants.
Across the river from Red Square, with an amazing view from its corner rooms, this stylishly modernised 1900s establishment is all you'd expect from a top-class hotel. Its stellar guest list includes David Bowie and Michael Jackson.
It calls itself a 'boutique hotel', but with 92 rooms the Golden Apple wouldn't get away with that description west of Warsaw. Given the size of most Moscow hotels, however, the title is deserved. The price of accommodation in the city is hard to stomach, but this one is one of few places where the rates can probably be justified. Five minutes from Pushkinskaya Square (the Piccadilly Circus of Moscow), it is very well located for discovering the city.
The allure of the Leningradskaya - which occupies one of Moscow's so-called 'Seven Sisters' or 'Stalin Skyscrapers' - lies in its rich history and imposing architecture. Built in 1954 as a high-end Soviet hotel, it has undergone an exquisite restoration that makes its original Stalinist neoclassical interior gleam. The lobby, a listed historical monument, is one of the finest in Moscow; it is lit by four enormous bronze chandeliers and supported by four giant marble columns. A decent albeit small swimming pool and gym are in the basement. Rooms are bigger than their utilitarian Soviet forerunners: the original hotel had 350 rooms, the new Hilton has just 273. Close to three major railway stations, it's handy for the overnight train to St Petersburg. Read more in the Hot List 2009
This hotel sits on a quiet side-street in central Moscow, within easy walking distance of many of the main attractions. The ambience is relaxed and intimate with a distinct flavour of both 19th-century Moscow (when the hotel was built) and 1960s 'Soviet chic'. There are 116 light, high-ceilinged rooms with smart, traditional decor and mixed-quality furnishings; a lobby bar; and the adjoining Peter 1 hotel has a good restaurant.
The Metropol has an unbeatable location, opposite Red Square and the Bolshoi and next to GUM department store. Steeped in history, the ambience is old-style Russian, despite a makeover, with vast, echoey halls and liveried bell boys. There are 365 rooms and suites. The stately Metropol restaurant, with its 20-metre-high stained-glass ceiling and central fountain, was a favourite of Kim Philby in the 1960s.
If your taste is for historic property, the National is hard to beat - it is owned by Moscow City Government, but managed by Starwoods' Luxury Collection. The Red Square is outside your door, across the pedestrianised Manege Square, while the Kremlin's main public entrance is down the same street. The building's listed status has forestalled the possibility of squeezing in more rooms, even the standard twin rooms are rewardingly spacious. Lenin found the rooms so pleasant that he moved in permanently: his office (once preserved as an attraction during the Soviet era), is no longer on show, however.
Hotel Sovietsky is seven kilometres north-west of central Moscow, four stops away on the metro. The building features Stalinist 'Russian Empire'-style architecture, with high ceilings, marble and gilt. The hotel attracts savvy tourists and respectable Russians. There are 100 rooms and suites with high ceilings and French-style windows; the best are the apartments on the third and fourth floors. With its magnificent, double-height setting and excellent Russian cooking, the hotel's Yar restaurant is legendary; try the veal stroganoff.
The gem in Marriott's Moscow crown: the location is the city's finest, scorning the ostentation of grandiose Soviet plazas for a discreet niche on historic Petrovka - a mere pirouette away from the Bolshoi Theatre. The bijou boutiques of Stoleshnikov pereulok are just around the corner. There are 192 rooms and 38 suites, all with surprisingly varied layouts. Furniture is classic, decor is subdued.
Located on Moscow's most famous street, The Ritz-Carlton was built on the rubble of one of the Soviet Union's ugliest and seediest hotels. Fortunately, The Ritz-Carlton inherited nothing but its prime location. Its rooftop bar boasts one of the best views in Moscow, taking in the Kremlin's terracotta-coloured walls, Red Square and the Christ the Saviour Cathedral. Guests recline on the wooden deck in summer and in a glass relaxation area in winter. This area includes an upmarket sushi café and cocktail bar, with armchairs shaped like Fabergé eggs. A vodka sommelier is on hand to explain the finer points of Russia's national tipple. There is a luxurious spa complex with a swimming pool lit trough Swarovski crystals. The bedrooms offer top-drawer luxury and vary only in size and view. The hotel is popular with businesspeople and celebrities, but it is also a good choice for a romantic weekend break. Read more about restaurant O2 Lounge in Where to Eat.
The Savoy Hotel is located in central Moscow, close to the main sights and just a block from the Lubyanka, former headquarters of the KGB. It features opulent Art Nouveau interiors: a comprehensive renovation was completed in December 2005. There are 67 rooms and suites, which although not large, are beautifully decorated with Italian wooden beds, flatscreen TVs and pink-marble bathrooms. The Hermitage bar serves excellent hot chocolate, and it is worth dining in the Savoy Restaurant for the breathtaking rococo ceiling (the food is good too). Guests have included Pavarotti and Richard Gere.
Just five miles' drive from the centre of Moscow, Barvikha Hotel & Spa provides understated luxury in a forested area favoured by Russia's super rich. A one-off boutique hotel owned by Mercury Group, the largest luxury retail group in Russia, the hotel is a temple to minimalist comfort and ideal for a long weekend after a busy spell of sightseeing in Moscow. With its giant open fireplaces, cosy yet spacious ski chalet ambience and state-of-the-art spa and pool, it is perfect for couples or families wanting to spend quality time in high style. Ultra-modern, and decorated with different types and shades of wood, marble and stone, its 65 bedrooms are equipped with designer furniture, sprawling bathrooms and giant Bang & Olufsen plasma screens. Read more in the Hot List 2010
Tucked inside a bend of the winding Moskva River, the Radisson Royal Hotel, Moscow, occupies an imposing 1950s skyscraper that once housed a grand Soviet-era hotel. Rooms are decorated in an understated style with Italian and American furnishings; bathrooms are spacious, room service prompt, and every room has at least one original Soviet-era painting. Public spaces are grand, with lots of marble, granite and wood. The range of things to see and do in the hotel is impressive: a wellness centre with an Olympic-size pool and large gym; impressive conference and banqueting facilities; a library of more than 3,000 books in different languages, and an art gallery with a collection of 1,200 Soviet-era paintings. Boutiques occupy much of the ground floor, and there are Iranian, Russian, Italian and Japanese restaurants to choose from, all top-flight. The giant model of 1970s Moscow in the lobby bar is a tourist attraction in its own right, and the hotel has a fleet of tour boats moored on the nearby embankment.

Opening his own sandwich shop was a bucket list item for Charlie Otto, an item he will officially cross off when Otto's Sandwich Shop opens Friday, April 4.
"It's something I've always wanted to do," Charlie said. "I've always wanted to try it and we're blessed to be able to do it now."
Otto's is truly a family affair, owned by Charlie and his wife, Carrie Otto, with help from their three sons, C.J., Dillon and Trevor. Charlie has spent his career in the casino business, but he said he always has had a passion for making sandwiches.
"It's something I'm doing mainly for my kids," Charlie said. "I'm trying to get it started. It will be something for them, I hope."
The main focus of Otto's, 4 N. First St. in Rehoboth Beach, will be Philly cheesesteaks, hoagies, cold cuts and paninis with specialty items like fried macaroni and cheese and what Charlie calls a twisted Cuban: breaded pork with jalapeno mustard relish on a ciabatta bun. He said Otto's will also carry breakfast sandwiches, wraps and salads.
"I just want it simple," Charlie said. "Simple stuff."
"Simple, but big," Carrie said. "You get a lot of bang for your buck here."
Originally from Philadelphia, Charlie said he grew up around steak shops as a teenager. Charlie has spent 30 years working in the casino business, and his coworkers at his current job at Maryland Live in Baltimore serve as his sandwich test audience, he said.
Charlie said Otto's subs will come in 8-inch or 12-inch sizes and he will pile a pound of meat onto each 12-inch sandwich. He said he wanted Otto's to be an affordable option for families visiting Rehoboth.
"You can have lunch for two – whether it's a cheesesteak or whatever – french fries and two bottle drinks for under $15. And you're not going to be hungry when you're done," Charlie said.
To start, Otto's will open Thursday through Sunday until Memorial Day, when the shop will go to a seven-day-a-week schedule. Because the restaurant is small – with space for 10 to 12 – Charlie said the main focus will be on takeout orders.
That includes service for beachgoers. He said Otto's will allow customers to come in and place an order and put a deposit on a cooler. Once the food is made, Otto's will deliver the cooler to the Boardwalk for the customer to pick up and use for the day.
For more information on Otto's call 302-227-6100 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Re: Marc Coopers White Mans Burden [Dissonance, June 1420]. A little history lesson is in order for Mr. Cooper and his readers. For more than 30 years, David Dotson was part of a regime in the LAPD that routinely violated peoples civil rights, committed violent acts of brutality and spied on people simply because their views were different. He was part of the system that did this; he said and did nothing for 30 years. When it was convenient for his future (he aspired to take over the helm of LAPD after Daryl Gates), he suddenly turned Frank Serpico and spoke out against these abuses. Had he done so as a young sergeant, that would have been admirable, but instead he went along with the good old boys for years. Then, when it was politically advantageous for him, he spoke out. Mark Cooper calls that cojones? Integrity? What has the man been smoking? David Dotson comes from the same bolt of cloth that Gates, Vernon and the rest of the Parker Center clones came from. I have more integrity in my left pinky than he ever will. All of us are stakeholders in who is selected for that job, so lets not waste valuable time discussing obviously ridiculous candidates. We need David Dotson for chief of police like we need Daryl Gates back.

Marc Coopers message was clear. I liked what I heard about Dotson. Helping to create a groundswell is admirable, particularly since he does sound like the best man for the job. Too damn bad its against his own wishes. Could drafting him entice him, one wonders?

Although I groove with both high Modernism and Tin Pan Alley, the synthesis that Harold Meyerson refers to in City Without a Story [May 31June 6] hasnt defined New York for more than half a century. In fact, the New York I remember from my stay there as far back as 1960 was more Robert Franks Pull My Daisy than Edmund Wilsons I Thought of Daisy. You guys and gals miss the point when you claim (1) that L.A. has no history, and (2) that a cliché mythos will cure a citys ills. Every spot on this planet is going through an identity crisis, and has since the amoeba.
I was born in L.A. My parents moved to L.A. in the early part of the last century, and if L.A. doesnt have a history, then neither do I. I disagree that spatial separation necessarily creates dysfunction. I disagree that we should live like ants (as Mike Davis suggests) to free up the space around us. We live on a rotating sphere; therefore Any point is the center. The whole is everything. This said, breaking up the city is not the solution. The shallow motives of the Valley secessionists suck.

Re: The Big Rewrite [June 713]. Stephen Wolframs gambit is interesting, but not far from the work of Richard Feynman that became Feynmans legacy to physics: the investigation of quantum mechanics through diagrammatic analysis. The difference between the two thinkers is that Feynman remained in the complexity of science, never trying to reduce it to a systematic approach, whereas Wolfram mistakes the tool he invents for the world he is trying to describe.
I am afraid that Wolfram is far from the radical he imagines himself to be. He remains on the beaten path. He should take a trip into real complexity look what it did for his mentor!

I enjoyed Brendan Bernhards Games Without Frontiers [June 713]. I am not a big soccer fan, but like Bernhard, I am surprised when those around me know nothing and care less about the contest. I compare this to my 1998 World Cup experience. I was a student in Mexico City the day the national team upset Germany. Like everyone else at the Jesuit University, I cut class to watch the match. (Picture chanting nuns and dancing law students.) Afterward, my friends and I waited for hours at a bus stop while downtown fans jubilantly tipped vehicles. I â can only imagine the bedlam in London this week when Argentina fell.
The World Cup is supposed to give us a temporary break from our usual reality. The workday stops, and wars are limited to a 45-minute time span. Strangers get together and celebrate. And Brendan, somewhere on your block there is a party going on some Latinos are festejando the English win or, I should say, Argentinas loss to England. In the spirit of the World Cup, you should knock on a door and join them.
Michele Martínez
Just a brief correction on your publications lively, enthusiastic piece about the World Cup. South Africa fired their Portuguese coach Carlos Queroz after a dismal performance in the African Cup of Nations early this year, where South Africa scored two goals in four games and were eliminated on penalties by hosts Mali. South Africa is currently coached by the enigmatic Jomo Sono, a South African soccer legend and former club manager cut from the same cloth as megalomaniac Zulu chieftain Mangusuthu Buthelezi.
Thanks for the article.

Glad to see the L.A. Weekly support a small indie film on its cover (Three Faces of Ivan, June 713] rather than the latest Hollywood blockbuster. But the subhead, The movie thats making the industry crazy, is absurd. Sorry to be cynical, but ivans xtc. opened in exactly one theater and was greeted by a largely mixed reaction from critics (including, ironically, Ella Taylors accompanying review). Hard as it is for me to admit, the biz was driven infinitely more crazy by that weekends Spider-Man grosses and J.Los apparent divorce than by this little-seen film.

Re: Ella Taylors review of the film ivans xtc. Please know that Jay Moloney did not commit suicide in a hotel room after being fired for cocaine addiction. In fact, Jay lost his job several months prior yes, due to substance abuse problems, but substance abuse that was overshadowing his intense bipolar disorder. He hanged himself in the shower at home; he was getting ready for a business meeting, one of many he optimistically had scheduled. Jay was severely manic-depressive, and it was the diseases in-the-depths-of-hell low swing that ultimately tore his life away from those of us who adored him. A really fucked morning that ripped out a lot of hearts, his own and his friends.

The Mark F. Cook Awards recognize the top proposals to the Undergraduate Scholars Program in each of three broad academic areas: creative and performing arts; humanities and social sciences; science, mathematics and engineering.
To compete for the awards students must submit a standard USP proposal for a 2011-2012 academic year project by Sept. 9, 2011 - and receive an endorsement from their research mentor. For more information, visit www.montana.edu/usp or contact the MSU's Undergraduate Scholars Program at (406) 994-6760.
In addition to the standard $1,500 USP grant, Cook awardees will receive a $300 cash award and a certificate to be presented upon completion of their project at MSU's annual Student Research Celebration. All proposals will be reviewed by specialists in the student's discipline as well as by the awards committee.
The awards are funded from an endowment established through the estate of Mark F. Cook, an MSU engineering alum who went on to a successful career in business. A trust created upon his death in 1974 reverted to MSU in 2009 when Cook's last surviving beneficiary passed away. Cook's will specified that his gift be used to benefit students and support research.
These awards enable undergraduate students to enhance their education through hands-on independent research, scholarship and artistic creation.

"Today again we had gone to the plant to resume our work, but we were not allowed inside as they are still insisting on us to sign the understanding. We are firm on our stand not to sign any understanding, so we have remained out today as well," Toyota Kirloskar Workers Union President Prasanna Kumar told PTI.
He said no negotiations or talks had started either with the management or with the concerned departments until now.
The deadlock took a new twist yesterday after a lockout at two plants was lifted, with employees not resuming work as they objected to signing a good conduct undertaking as demanded by the company.
Announcing its decision to lift the lockout declared on March 16, Toyota Kirloskar Motor on Thursday had said the workers were welcome to resume work with effect from March 24 after signing a simple undertaking on good conduct.
Meanwhile, denying reports regarding recruitment of contract workers and apprentices, the company today said: "It's absolutely untrue that Toyota is running its plants using 1,000 contract workers and 2,000 apprentices."
"We have started limited plant operations with the help of non-unionised team members, of whom majority are supervisors and engineers," it added.

This is like the replacement refs except they're going against the home team
That reversal of the catch I believe is actually the right call. IIRC, the NFL says that if you are stumbling when you make a catch that you are considered going to the ground until you regain your balance. On that play, the Jacksonville WR never regained his balance. And so even though he got two feet down and had a foot out of bounds, he still has to hold the ball through the ground to complete the catch.
I don't think it's that bad. The touchdown was close, but I think he got it in there with the sweep of his arm. Roughing the passer...any ref will call that. Pass interference: good call. Guy had locked wayne's left arm down.
Rookie special mistake there on the INT.
I'd rather die standing up than live on my knees.
-Emiliano Zapata
why even try that lateral? lucky the guy held on to it.
Nice of Luck to make the tackle but he shouldn't make a habit of it we don't want to see the backup anytime soon..
The Jags won't score here they make the Colts D look like the 85 Bears
It's funny how the Jags are notorious for killing us with the run but when they go two-minute drill on us we can't stop the pass.
All these flags....are receivers not allowed to be hit anymore?
Makes you wonder what the Pats will do to us
Lol @ announcer's rant. Made no sense at all.
Well at least we held them to an FG
Pats are going to abuse our horrendous defense. Hopefully Mathis, Powers, and Davis will be playing...
Don't ask Marvin Harrison what he did during the bye week. "Batman never told where the Bat Cave is," he explained.
I think the Colts could've beaten the Jags without these suspect calls but really NFLN makes you wonder sometimes.
Overall a nice first half. Just hope it's not a replay of week 3 where they take the foot off the throttle.
Don't ask Marvin Harrison what he did during the bye week. "Batman never told where the Bat Cave is," he explained.
Nice! Great job, defense.
24-3. This game feels a bit workmanlike. I dig it.
Take me out to the black, tell 'em I ain't coming back. Burn the land and boil the sea, you can't take the sky from me.
What? You mean our defense is allowed to score touchdowns?
I'm pretty level headed when it comes to penalties. I totally get why Jags fans are mad. The calls are close, but they aren't bad.
Goodbye Jerraud Powers and hello Darius Butler

i had faclift 2wks ago. my neck was normal swolen and going down. Now it swelled again on one side with big lumps/bumps and create a discomfort. is this normal?
Neck bruise and swelling after Facelift?
Doctor Answers 9
Painful Lumps/Bumps 2 weeks Following Facelift
It is possible, although quite rare, to get a new collection of blood (hematoma) 2 weeks out from surgery. However, this would most likely be due to a high-pressure arterial bleed that would be quite painful. So I doubt that this is what's happening. A photograph would be extremely helpful in this case, since without a visual, we are playing the probabilities more and guessing more. We can be much more helpful and accurate with our opinions with a photograph.
Chances are more likely, with the description given, that you are experiencing normal contour irregularities that are more evident as swelling goes down. These can be due to pockets of fat, resolving small hematomas, puckering due to suture placement, even collections of saliva from a leaking saliva gland. Without a photograph and more information, it's hard to tell which. The most important thing to do, however, is keep in close contact with your surgeon and his/her clinic and inform them (ideally face-to-face) of what you are experiencing.
Recurrence of swelling after initial resolution might require drainage.
- It is impossible for me to make a diagnosis but there is a possibility of fluid collection that should be drained. You should visit your surgeon.

Neck Swelling Bruising New 2 Weeks After Facelift, See Surgeon
Thank you for your question. Photographs would be helpful.
That said after 2 weeks of normal recovery after a facelift, the appearance of new swelling, lumps or bruising could suggest that you have had bleeding or a hematoma.
Please see your surgeon immediately.

Neck Swelling after facelift
You need to see your plastic surgeon right away. I schedule many post-operative appointments within the first month, but anytime a patient has a concern, I want to see them right away. A small issue can turn into a more significant issue if not addressed early

Swelling After Facelift
An exam is needed to answer this question. You may need drainage. It is best to visit your surgeon.
Late Swelling after facelift
It is not unusual to have some daily variations in the post-op swelling after a face and neck lift. However, if it is only on one side and fairly pronounced, you need to see your surgeon. A hematoma would be very unusual this far out, but you may have a seroma which is an accumulation of fluid. You may also be having a reaction to the deep sutures.
Swelling After Facelift
I think the most appropriate recommendation anyone can make is that you return to see your Surgeon about this issue. Some degree of swelling 2 weeks after a Facelift is not unusual. Healing by patient after a surgical procedure is not uniform, but instead fits into the variability of the Bell curve.
Learn more: http://www.drprendiville.com/facelift.html
Swelling after a facelift is normal
There is extensive swelling and bruising after a facelift procedure which may take up to 6 months to totally resolve. Just to make sure you do not have a hematoma (collection of blood under the skin) I would visit with your surgeon.

Six Feet Under the Nun's Head
The dome of St Paul's peeped through a narrow gap at High Point, where fresh breezes filtered through the Horse Chestnuts. Wearing a t-shirt depicting an air-brushed angel in prayer, jet-black hair and ear studs, the young Goth politely edged between the Cow Parsley and the elderly folks' tour of Nunhead Cemetery.
Beneath our feet, in the sacred clays of south London, the toppled memorials were barely visible beneath our feet and the wheels of trundling pushchairs. One caught my eye and after I let a young dad pass-by the exposed corner of marble headstone, I scraped at it with my boot heel to reveal more: "The Family of AC Ardley and GA Fletcher .." The mortal remains of these Victorians are still buried in the undergrowth after a Philistine 70s council's bulldozers rode over their many graves.
Nunhead's occupants were some of Victorian society's hoi-palloi: Chemist, Frederick Augustus Abel, inventor of cordite is there. So is the writer Hilda Caroline Gregg (1933) whose pseudonym Sydney Carolyn Grier wrote the first of 23 novels at the age of 13); Bryan Donkin (1855) developer of the air-tight tin can; teenage chanteuse Jenny Hill (1896) whose sweet voice delighted music hall crowds; horsepowered bus magnate Thomas Tilling (1893) owning a stable of 4,000 horses and Alfred Peek Stevens (1888) who penned the earliest known use in England of the term O.K. ("Walking in the zoo is the O.K. thing to do.").
With needle-like nettle stings on my shins, I too traipsed along the ever-encroached paths to see yet more tombs and mausolea, some covered by mother nature, just as a thousand tragic repercussions of social expansion were now overtaken by industrial progress: the ghosts of London's tycoons, their privileged children and their slumming workers.
In the first 50 years of the 19th century the population of London more than doubled from 1 to 2.3 million. The city's dead were being stacked in overcrowded parish churchyards, leading to decaying matter entering the water supply and to a series of cholera epidemics. All Saints Nunhead was consecrated in 1840 and was one of the seven great Victorian cemeteries established in a picturesque ring around the outskirts of London known as the Magnificent Seven.
Henry Daniel (died 29th August 1867, age 62) was the monumental mason par excellence of Nunhead. His own memorial, with that of his wife Charlotte and son – also Henry – holds court on one of the fashionable corners, shared by city merchant bankers, the rich and influential on a sort of sweeping red carpet for the great and the good. His hugely popular architectural features show a monolith-come-billboard for the family business, posthumously advertising the much-loved architecture for faith and eternal life: Maidens, cherubs, anchors, snakes, scrolls and urns. "The dust remaineth to earth but the spirit to God who gave it," reads the inscription of the man who helped carve the poetry of the Gothic burial age.
Queen Victoria's 40-year obsession with grief taught a superstitious nation how to mourn, inventing an industry of hearses, rings, lockets and silk gloves bought for the undertakers to wear. If there was a corpse in the house, mirrors were covered and the deceased was taken out feet first to stop the head looking backwards for others to follow ..
Then, 80% of deaths occurred at home and the funeral industry was profitable and respectable. By the Edwardian age then the first war, with few bodies to bury nor horses to bear them, this tradition was finished, funeral staff were laid off and the ivy started to strangle the once-lavish monuments. The 50s and 60s saw the sad decline of urban cemeteries and local authorities saw this redundant, wasteland as a drain on resources, allowing them to degrade into playgrounds, toilets and the places for procreation, vandalism and theft.
The bronze Gilbert Scott memorial to the 9 Walworth Sea Scouts (aged between 11 and 14) who drowned in an estuary squall off Leysdown on 4th August 1912, was shamelessly stolen from here and melted down. Elsewhere, locals were encouraged to come and buy up items from shrines and families who came to pay their respects at loved-ones graves, found nothing but rubble. But in 2000, a £1.25m windfall was spent on renovation and conservation so many pieces of Victoriana have been saved from the JCB and Brylcreem boys.
But choosing a council square in which to deposit the body of son or daughter, parent or partner must be the most wretched of choices. Umar (above) was only 8 years-old when he died this month. The earth that was displaced by his small casket is still a mound above ground level, at a spot where tour groups shuffle past.
And five traffic cones that might elsewhere be part of some B-road disruption stand like pagan pyramids in anticipation of a fresh reservation.

This is so sad. I just can't seem to wrap my mind around reasons for it. Is nothing sacred anymore? Victoria.
I agree, it is so sad. What happened to humanity to make some of us so unfeeling of others. Victoria

St. Francis Medical Center will be the starting point for a new partnership between Centura Health, St. Francis' parent company, and the Denver-based Rocky Mountain Hospital for Children.
The agreement announced Thursday is a letter of intent to explore potential collaborations to improve access to pediatric services in southern Colorado. Penrose-St. Francis Health Services and its sister hospitals in Pueblo and Cañon City currently treat more than 25,000 pediatric patients a year and, said Penrose-St. Francis CEO Margaret Sabin, St. Francis was built with a focus on pediatric services in mind.
"We do not want children shipped to Denver for services," Sabin said. "It's a very high priority that we get it right and that we create a system of care that's world class here in Colorado Springs."
It's not yet clear what the agreement will mean in terms of services or facilities in Colorado Springs, but Sabin said the goal was to turn St. Francis into a magnet for pediatric patients throughout southern Colorado.
"People are craving a full spectrum of pediatric services," Sabin said.
The deal is also a sign that Centura does not plan to stay on the sidelines as Children's Hospital Colorado opens a new Briargate facility June 14 and plans to sublet Memorial Hospital for Children if voters approve leasing city-owned Memorial to University of Colorado Health in August.
Local pediatrician Dr. Harry Anderson, a longtime proponent and occasional critic of Memorial Hospital for Children, said he has deep concerns that competing children's hospitals would erode the quality of care in Colorado Springs because there aren't enough pediatric patients to support duplicate services.
"I just don't think there's room for two children's hospital affiliations here," Anderson said. "You can't pay for both of those. It's going to hurt the overall concept. I think it's just unwarranted."
Mimi Roberson, CEO of Rocky Mountain Hospital for Children, doesn't see it that way.
"I think what the reality is for many markets is that there are long waiting lines and limited numbers of specialists that are able to take care of the patients," she said.
Sabin said Centura considered working with Children's Hospital Colorado in some way, or simply starting its own children's hospital, but decided that partnering with Rocky Mountain Hospital for Children offered the best opportunity to expand services at all of Centura's 13 Colorado hospitals. Although the deal is starting here, it will eventually include the entire state.
Roberson said some specialists affiliated with Rocky Mountain already working in Colorado Springs will be concentrated at St. Francis.
"We're there right now, so it's a very easy partnership for us," she said.
Rocky Mountain Hospital for Children is part of HealthOne, the Colorado arm of the national for-profit hospital company HCA. Rocky Mountain Hospital for Children is based in a 160,000-square-foot pediatric care center at HealthOne's Presbyterian/St. Luke's Medical Center in Denver and provides services at six of HealthOne's Denver-area hospitals. HCA was one of University of Colorado Health's competitors to lease Memorial.
Centura Health, the state's largest hospital group, is a faith-based nonprofit jointly sponsored by Catholic Health Initiatives and the Adventist Health System.
Children's Hospital Colorado issued this statement Thursday evening:
As the only licensed, nationally-ranked children's hospital in the region, Children's Hospital Colorado has a long commitment to providing the highest quality care for patients and families in Colorado Springs. Children's Colorado has continued to partner with community physicians and patients to identify and develop expanded pediatric services and specialties that best serve the growing Colorado Springs community. The new Children's Hospital Colorado Outpatient Specialty Care, Colorado Springs facility at 4125 Briargate Parkway reflects that commitment. Many of the physicians and staff providing these specialty care services enjoy living and working in Colorado Springs. The staff, patients, their families and area physicians worked together to identify the following services that will be provided at the new 50,000 square-foot facility, which will begin serving patients and families on June 14th:
· Audiology and Speech Language Therapy
· Cardiology
· Endocrinology
· Gastrointestinal/Digestive Health
· Genetics
· Imaging (Fluoroscopy, MRI, Ultrasound, X-ray)
· Oncology/Hematology
· Orthopedics, including orthopedic rehabilitation
· Outpatient Laboratory Services
· Metabolics
· Respiratory
· Rheumatology
· Urology
· Partnering with Ronald McDonald House Charities and Starlight Foundation to provide a family amenities suite
Children's Colorado has a philosophy of providing services close to where children live and looks forward to continuing to offer the very best pediatric services to the Colorado Springs community.
