Breast Augmentation by Fat Transfer Using Stem Cells?
Supposedly, this is creating much better results. Anyway, there are so many complications with Breast implants, isn't Fat Transfer the way to go?
Doctor Answers 6
Fat transfer
Ideal candidates are in good health, and have excess fat in some parts of the body and too little in other regions. Fat grafting is most often used for the face, breasts and buttocks. Typically, the transferred fat results in a significant increase in volume of the body site being treated.
Fat for lipoinjection, also called fat transfer, is removed from unwanted areas of the body by a narrow blunt tip surgical instrument with side holes, called a cannula, through a small incision. The fat is then cleaned with sterile saline solution before being restored to the body. The fat is then injected into the desired area using either a smaller cannula or needle, or it may be placed directly through an incision. Since some of the fat that is transferred does not remain over time, your surgeon may inject more than is ultimately needed to achieve the desired end result. Over a few weeks, the amount of transferred fat will decrease.
There is a limit of how much fat can be safely injected into one area. The amount of fat that remains over time is variable from patient to patient. For some patients, more fat or other fillers may need to be transferred in a subsequent surgery to maintain or supplement the desired results.
Fat transfer to the breast involves a relatively short recovery - just a few weeks.

Fat grafting is a valuable tool in breast surgery. This technique has gained more popularity over the past 7 years. There are many techniques used to harvest the fat, process the fat and then re-inject the fat. Conventional suction lipectomy is performed with a small diameter cannula, processed by separating the liquid and fibrous tissue from the fat, and then placed into syringes for re-injection or through a closed system.
Breast augmentation and fat transfer
This is a controversial area of plastic surgery. Surgeons are divided on whether or not injecting fat into the breast for augmentation is a safe procedure. Breast implants do have complications, but they are relatively low, and include bleeding, infection, scarring around the implants (capsular contracture), and rupture. There are also complications associated with fat transfer, including calcification and hardening of the injected material, loss of the material with time, and an unpredictable result. I personally would not recommend fat augmentation at this time based on our available data. Good luck.

Fat transfer to breasts
I have performed fat transfer to the breasts for selcted patients. It does work well but several treatment sessions may be needed.
It tends to become more expensive as a result.
Breast augmentation, enlargement, enhancement or reconstruction with fat transfer, injection, or grafts: Stay tuned
Fat transfer is not without complications either. Furthermore, in the short run, it will likely cost significantly more than breast augmentation.
The potential to interfere with mammograms and breast cancer detection has hindered its adoption as a popular technique here in the USA. Despite this, it has been used for approximately 10 years in Europe. Their early favorable reports have aroused interest here in the USA and it is now being investigated and studied as a new option. Results here are preliminary. Stay tuned.
Fat transfer breast augmentation
You mentioned that 'there are so many complications with breast implants'- I'd be curious about where you developed that impression.
The current generation of saline and silicone implants available in the US are probably the most carefully scrutinized medical devices in history. Breast implants, and the procedures that deploy them into patients, are safe, sound and effective.
Fat transfer breast augmentation can yield outstanding results in experienced hands. However, there are lingering questions about the appearance of breasts on mammography after fat grafting, and the behavior of adipose derived stem cells in breast tissue. There are only a handful of surgeons in the USA that do this type of procedure regularly. Additionally, there are limitations to the size of augmentation that can be reliably achieved with this technique. Lastly, the procedure is $$$$.
All things considered, breast augmentation with implants seems like a much more reasonable choice for most patients.

Chelsea transfer target Neymar 'eyed by Manchester City'
Neymar could be on his way to the Premier League, but with Manchester City rather than Chelsea.
The Brazil striker has been a transfer target for both Chelsea and Real Madrid over the past few months, but the player decided to commit his immediate future to his current club Santos.
That could soon change, as City scouts have apparently given Roberto Mancini glowing reports about the 19-year-old.
Mancini is now planning to ask the board to make landing Neymar a priority, reports the People.
The Italian sees the teenager as someone who could slot into the City team immediately and form a successful long-term partnership with Sergio Aguero .
Santos have already rejected offers in excess of £30 million for Neymar, so the Citizens may have to break their transfer record – the £38 million paid to Atletico Madrid for Aguero – to secure his signature.
Meanwhile, another City target, Samuel Eto'o , has hinted he may still end up in Manchester.
The Inter Milan striker is in talks with Anzhi Makhachkala about a deal that would make him the world's highest paid footballer, but indicated on Saturday that he still needs to be convinced about moving to Russia.
'There's nothing to say I will leave and nothing to say I will stay [at Inter], there could still be a surprise from England,' the Cameroon international said.

Arizona arsonist to go free after 42 years in jail
PHOENIX - A man whose murder conviction in a 1970 Arizona hotel fire that killed 29 people was called into question has entered a plea, clearing the way for his freedom.
The plea deal Tuesday marks a stunning reversal for an inmate who was just 16 years old when he was arrested in the fire. Louis Taylor has been behind bars ever since and will leave prison at the age of 59.
Taylor has since spent more than four decades in prison, consistently maintaining his innocence after being sentenced to 28 consecutive life terms in the December 1970 fire at the Pioneer Hotel in Tucson.
Taylor, who is black, contends he was wrongly convicted by an all-white jury after he says police failed to investigate other suspects.

Scrub the folds
When it comes to the groin, it can be helpful to invest a little additional time in the groin folds (in between the thigh and pubic bone), the location around the testicles and, if a male has actually foreskin, beneath the sheath. Extreme soaps can dry and aggravate out the penis, which is something no guy desires to deal with.
Dry off.
Among the important things that can trap smells in a male's unique location is moisture left over after his shower. Towel off with clean, dry linens. Be mild with the sack and penis to prevent inflammation.

I published a blog post yesterday that was decently popular. This morning I looked at traffic stats and saw that TehCanadian's blog blew mine out of the water. So I was gonna tell him.
But then I figured more people would like to know that their blogs are popular -- the stuff you guys write gets read. And not by just a few people. I'd guess some of your blogs are, individually, more highly read than some dedicated gaming sites. That's pretty cool.
I'd probably get in trouble if I published actual visitor numbers, but I think I can get away with this: I've turned blog popularity into a metric I'll call a Blogscore. Comparing Blogscores will give you an idea of how popular one blog is relative to another. For example, this month my Blogscore is 69 and Peer's is 95. That translates to Peer's blog being roughly 15% more popular than mine in February. TehCandian's February Blogscore is 257, which means it was over 100% more popular than mine. There's real math behind the Blogscore. I'll keep it secret for now, but it's really not that interesting anyway.
What is interesting is the ranking.
Blogs that aren't in the top 10 have either a Blogscore of 0 or a negative score. Sorry. There's always next month. I'm gonna try and keep this Blogger Rankings wiki page updated with rankings throughout the year. I've even updated it with January ranks so check out the wiki if you're not satisfied with February's ranks.
And hats off to February's top blogger, TehCanadian. If you haven't already, be sure to check out his take on the risks Sony faces in setting a price on the PlayStation 4, as well as other thoughts inspired by the PlayStation event.
(P.S. Jason, you should save this award image. It could be a collector's item some day.)
(P.P.S. I won't count any visits to this blog post toward the March ranking. I ain't no cheat.)

Tongan women with intellectual disabilities learning to protect themselves from sexual abuse
A Tongan non-governmental organization says many women with disabilities who face sexual abuse do not seek help as they think it is their fault.
The Talitha Project runs programs for young women in leadership and health as well as programs aimed at helping women and girls with an intellectual disability in Tonga.
The director of the Talitha Project Vanessa Heleta told Pacific Beat that the program is targeting girls between the ages 12 to 19 who often experience violence and are unable to defend themselves.
"A lot of disability girls go through sexual abuse so we're going to try and teach them about their bodies and how to say no to abuse," she said.
"We are also teaching them about sexual encounters and how to know themselves and give them information (on) how to protect themselves."
Ms Heleta says so far, about 200 young girls have been trained on the different forms of violence they could experience.
She says once women are aware of what sexual abuse is, they feel liberated and are more willing to seek help.
"Some of them have come out to share that they have been sexually abused and they thought it was their fault," she said.
"It's a very hidden topic in Tonga, it goes around in the families but young girls don't say anything because they think its their fault."
Fun through sports
Ms Heleta and her team is running a special camp for women with disabilities, called Camp Shriver, for the first time ever in Tonga.
Camp Shriver was founded in the US in the 1960s by Eunice Kennedy Shriver, the sister of former US President John F Kennedy, whose vision was that through sports, the lives of people with intellectual disabilities would be transformed and public perceptions would be changed.
"Tonga is one of those countries who shuns people with disabilities especially women and girls, they tend to keep them indoors," Ms Heleta said.
"What we do with people with disabilities (is) we get them to come out and play sports.
"The main aim of sports is to have fun."
The camp hopes to develop the potential and skills of women with special needs through sports.
Ms Heleta says many are not aware of the challenges faced by special needs people.
"A lot of times, young women without disability look down on women with intellectual disabilities," she said.
"This whole program is really trying to break down that barriers and try and cultivate those skills and potential of girls with intellectual disability, that they are capable of doing something.
"Not as good as the normal girls without mental disability but just try to get them to appreciate the girls with mental disability and see that they have values and want to be respected."
"Even though it is a disability, we are trying to change it to ability," Ms Heleta said.

Surcharging as a Facilitating Practice
This paper shows how separately itemised surcharges potentially facilitate collussion during a temporary cost shock if firms commit to their duration. A duopoly model with price-matching punishments shows that if firms set higher prices they only receive punishment during the shock because they expect prices to fall in the future regardless of a deviation. When it is likely that costs will fall in the future, the price-matching punishment is too small to increase prices, so firms maintain rigid prices. When it is unlikely that costs will fall the punishment is harsh enough to sustain marginally higher supracompetitive prices. However, if firms commit to surcharges for the shock's duration they are able to set even higher prices, because surcharges effectively commit firms to a price decrease and so threaten a harsher punishment after the cost shock has ended.

OK, the first few were cute, but really, we're now duplicating content already in the Kizashi discussion. I can understand how a person becomes obsessed with vehicles (um... that's most of us, eh?), but let's not pull the overkill switch in here.

dash5 Posts: 421Well putting aside the fact that the poster is intentionally going overboard....
The Kizashi looks nice from the back, ok from the side and awful from the front. So it's a butterface car. I think the interior looks solid though, not bad. Purely based on aesthetics the Sonata crushes it though. No two ways about it. That silver looks great.
Living in the land where there is no snow and where an Infinity G37 costs less to own and maintain than a Toyota Camry I see your point. But for the rest of us living in climates where there were some major snowstorms the Genesis really isn't a steal. And, please, don't even start with the snow tires stuff.
This past winter has turned me off owning another RWD sedan - it was our 3rd snowiest winter on record, and my car was a no-go for days, and once, weeks, at a time. Studies can tell me they're just fine, and some of the vehicles are pretty tempting, but right now RWD is a dealbreaker for me.

C'mon, that is just a silly statement. Of course there are many "ways" when it come to aesthetics. It is possible for a human (at least one, me) to look at that Sonata and think: "eeew, yuck, I don't like the looks of that at all".
jlindh Posts: 282Kinda makes you wonder how people ever were able to get around in the winter before 1963 or so! It's all technique, if you know how to do it, it's really not a problem. And yes, if you live in a snowy area, you should be using snow tires.
I didn't own my first FWD car until 1985 (Civic)... and that was when I lived in TX. Before that, I drove for over 10 years in MN winters in RWD cars--no ABS, no traction control, no M+S tires. Maybe a sandbag in the trunk. More recently, I owned a 328Ci and found winter driving no problem at all, especially with its ABS and traction control. Now, if I lived in a rural area, it would be a different story. I'd probably drive a Subaru.
j2j Posts: 147"The 2011 Suzuki Kizashi Sport comes out in August of 2010 as a 2011 model. Nice looking hindquarters, huh? And those new wheels designed for the Sport are working just fine for me, too."
The hindquarters are OK (tho, a bit too bulbous); the problem is the front fascia which is bland bordering on ugly (too bad the front of the production model looks nothing like the gorgeous concept).
Anyway, by all accounts the Kizashi is a fun drive, but it is a tweener w/ regard to size - not quite fitting in either the compact or mid-size categories.

There are many things we were able to survive without that I wouldn't want to live without. Things such as the telephone, airplanes, the Internet and dare I say cars themselves. Mankind survived before their advent. That doesn't mean we want to revert back to those times.
I drove a taxi in Chicago winter weather in RWD cars. Even with dedicated snows, it wasn't fun. I have no ambition to go back to those days.
but it is a tweener w/ regard to size - not quite fitting in either the compact or mid-size categories
Nothing really wrong with that, in fact it could be a draw to a lot of people that think midsize cars are getting a little oversized. I think the car is attractive as I have always liked the look of the front end of the Jetta which it resembles. There are other things I don't like about the car though. The big "S" on the front and steering wheel and the huge side mirrors remind me of Dumbo.
I've read it handles very nicely and the interior is fairly nice and it comes well equipped for a reasonable price. But, like others, the dealership network stinks and I would be afraid of resale. If you keep it 10 years resale doesn't really matter but I would be afraid to take a chance on a brand new model and believe that I would love it enough to keep it 10 years.
Maybe it's one of those cars that will be a better bet used than new... if you can find a used one. At the rate they're selling, that'll be difficult.
I bet the resale will be horrible, if you wait a few years and pick one up off-lease I bet you could get a really good deal on it.
bhmr59 Posts: 1,601Just goes to show that people have different opinions. You like the front end of the Kizashi and I think it's fugly. I also don't like all that red on the center stack. Some may think it's great looking.
Neither one of us can say the other is wrong.

No contest. Larry King and his 8 wives aside. Jerry Sloan and his countless tries at the Big Enchilada-let's just put that to one side.
Suzuki has proven that they can and will build cars for the masses that look great, last for the Long Haul, and cost less. It's value-except now they have beaten former favorite Kia with great value.
The only carmaker I respect more than Suzuki is Mitsubishi. Mitsubishi builds the world's finest powertrains and the world's sexiest car in the 2008+ Mitsubishi Lancer GTS. I and Suzuki and Mitsubishi and the OKC Thunder are one a roll that Donald Trump would love to be smart enough to be on.

I appreciate your enthusiasm but you should really talk to somebody besides us on this forum.
I'm with you. I have no desire to go away from FWD.
I don't want snow tires. I don't want to deal with the hassle and expense. In addition, putting snow tires on for 4 or 5 months means driving with tires that perform worse than all-seasons, in the conditions that actually exist, during most of the time that they are on the car. This is because I would estimate maybe 5% of my driving in winter is on roads that are actually snow covered.
All-seasons with FWD is good enough for my winter driving. I would not want the trade-off of snow tires for 4-5 months, in order to have RWD.
I have heard nothing, I repeat nothing your best mid-size Suzuki haters have to say that would dissuade me from buying a 2011 Suzuki Kizashi Sport. Can anyone think any stronger than that out there?
Nobody is trying to talk you out of buying a Suzuki. You, on the other hand, seem to be trying to convince everyone else. Sorry to say, I don't think you're doing a good job. As long as you're happy with your choice, we're all happy for you. We think you're wrong, but we're happy for you.
Off-topic, I know, but that was well said and was exactly my point. I lived near Buffalo for a time and had a RWD with snows. Because I survived and didn't get into any car crashes doesn't mean I want to do it again.

Horse walks in to a bar. Bartender says...hey, why the long face?
Horse says, "Everyone's telling me I have ta buy a Hyundai Sonata. They tell me it has everything I'd ever want in a midsize car."
Bartender replies "Hey, have you heard of shooting guard Kevin Durant of the Thunder? He led the NBA in points per game in the NBA regular season at 30.3."
Horse replies "They tell me Suzuki and their midsize Kizashi is full of poop. Sort of how I get from time ta time, dont'cha know."
Bartender tells the horse, "Don't you worry your silly long face. Before long, everyone will know that something great is coming."
Horse replies, "But they're so dumb. It's a lot like telling them that soon the people in high places will fall. The leaders of the armies, churches and world governments will shreik in terror. They never believe me. They will knock, but the door will be closed. It will be too late."
Bartender thinks about what the horse just said. "Humm...you're a heavy horse. Perhaps you'd better hop in to your 2011 Suzuki Kizashi and get out of here. We don't like you or your kind around here. Scram!"
Horse turns around, walks out and hops in to his 2011 Suzuki Sport. Pushbutton start, safety tried and tested through the year 2014, foglights, sunroof, 425-watt Rockford Fosgate stereo, 10-way adjustable driver's seat with memory presets, rear HVAC controls, leather wrapped steering wheels with Sport perforations, leather-wrapped gearknob and emergency brake, leather seats, 6-speed manual transmission, new chrome accents around the foglights up front, chrome colored side moulding, by far the finest looking midsize sedan available. All for only $22,799. Available in Aug. of 2010 as a 2011 Suzuki Sport GTS.
Vroom! Horse fires her up, pops in The Cars 'Candy-O' CD, turns up the volume and puts the car in reverse. Out he goes from his stall.
Hi-o, hi-o silver, hi-o, hi-o silver, hi-o, hi-o silver away, yeah! Life is good. Much better since Suzuki decided to add midsize cars to it's stable. Suzuki is growing rich from all the small cars they sell in Japan. They lead the Asian kei-class market and are growing ever-so-rich from their sales in India as well.
Hi-ho silver!
2011 Suzuki Kizashi Sport GTS in Vivid Red
Wow-since you're all wondering what my latest fave color for the car is, I am heading right back ta red for this pup. Two new cars back would be our 2001 Kia Sportage 4X4, which was a color Kia called Pepper Red. One new car back is our latest car, our 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer GTS, which is in a shade Mitsubishi lovingly calls Rally Red.
With these new chrome accents and the chrome side moulding, I have officially switched my top running color choice to a shade Suzuki Motors lovingly calls Vivid Red. Look at that thing. Beautiful, huh?
And that big chrome 'S' in the front looks simply mah-vel-ous as well. Seriously, folks. Look over to your right to that white VW Passat. Look at how the 2011 Suzuki Kizashi Sport GTS in Vivid Red blows it away cleanly and nicely. Sweet spot.

acdii Posts: 753No thanks, I'll take my Fusion Sport, and wave to you in my rearview mirror as you watch my taillights fade into the distance.
As for the FWD/RWD in snow, I prefer RWD. It is no fun when your front tires pull you towards the shoulder when trying to get going in snow. At least with the RWD, throw a few sand bags in and I can go anywhere I want and have total control over where I steer. I totally hate the fact that when the front wheels, you know, the ones that control the direction your car goes, start to slip and slide when power is applied and you lose not only traction, but steering, not fun. Of course, been driving RWD for 25+ years in snow, so I do know how to handle it quite well, with regular all seasons, not snow tires. For me its AWD/4WD/RWD---->FWD. In fact I traded in my perfectly fine Hyundai Veracruz, a car we all liked to drive and ride in, because it was FWD, and has a nasty habit of swinging its [non-permissible content removed] out in snow, something that is very hard to control in a FWD car, and got a AWD Flex.
This whole thing was a test. Suzuki and I and the OKC Thunder have won. Hands down. The Lakers, with help from the ref's only, won Game 2. The Lakers are not the better team than the Thunder. They ought ta be ashamed of their silly selves.
No contest. Larry King and his 8 wives aside. Jerry Sloan and his countless tries at the Big Enchilada-let's just put that to one side.
Dude, WTF are you talking about? And in what language does any of the above actually make logical sense?
iluv, why don't you take a break off from the long, repetitive dissertations on the Kizashi for a bit and actually read what others are saying in reply? Then you'll see that no one is telling you that you "have to buy a Sonata." You buy whatever you like. (And the sooner you buy that Kizashi, the better for all of us. :sick: ) But don't call us "Suzuki haters" and blast those people who don't happen to agree with you on choice of cars. You asked for our opinion, and we've given it to you. If you don't want to hear someone else's opinion, and you aren't willing to accept that that opinion may be different from your own, don't ask for it. Sheesh.
I for one would love to see you buy a Kizashi so we can hear all about your ownership experience with it--for the short time you own it, before you take a beating on resale value and turn it in for the next new car that strikes your fancy. For which I am putting my money on the 2011 Optima.
Anyone who actually wants to know about the Kizashi ownership experience would do well to head over to Edmunds' own Long Term Test Blog and read the relevant posts at Long-Term Kizashi. As for the mindless fanboy spam (regardless of which brand you shill for), please take it somewhere else.

temj12 Posts: 450How long are you going to go on about the Kizashi? You like it--fine. Move on!
Hm... I vote for ME!
Really, that's enough. This is a discussion, not a monologue. Enthusiasm for the Kazashi has been duly noted and entered into the record. Posting photos and unsolicited personal reviews yet another time isn't going to sway people to a particular opinion.
There's a discussion about this vehicle already, and unless it just comes up in the course of conversation here, or in comparison talk, please take the "I'm a fan and you should be too" talk to the vehicle-specific discussion. Thanks!

As others have stated, we have already given you our opinion of the Kizashi, and until they add another 100 HP, lower the price by $3-4K for the fact that it's an unproven Suzuki with terrible resale alone, and change that horrible plastic grill with the giant "S" I will not be all that impressed. They have made a great Jetta competitor - not a particularly remarkable car either. Personally I wouldn't buy a Suzuki any faster than I'd buy a Chrysler or a Saturn, and at least those used to be made my GM. And if Suzuki really, miraculously has produced the wonderful car you claim they have,I do not think they have the dealer network or brand image to become a major player in the US.
And I checked out your profile and noticed that you claim to absolutely love the 1999 Kia Sephia... my ex girlfriend used to have one of those, and I have never seen a bigger pos car. No power, no torque, the manual tranny was terrible, no power anything (not even power steering), unremarkable fuel economy, crap stereo that I can't even remember if it had a CD player or not, and it looked like the bland economy car that it was. This is not a personal attack on you, but I question the judgment of anyone who loved that car enough to make it their screen name. I think if you owned anything nicer than a '99 Kia Sephia and a 2008 Lancer GTS you would be more critical of economy cars which try to market themselves as performance vehicles. Go drive a Mazda6 V6 or Fusion Sport V6 and then take out the Kizashi and tell us which one has better "performance".
We don't like people who call other people dorks just because they prefer a different vehicle.
I think somebody needs a time out. :sick:

EpiCor® Increases Volume of Red Blood Cells and Boosts Immunity
Scientists have found that daily supplementation with EpiCor improved immune function, reduced inflammation and increased the volume of red blood cells in human subjects.
The scientists enrolled 25 healthy participants with an average age of 27.6 and randomly assigned them to receive daily EpiCor supplements (500 mg) or a placebo for five weeks. Among subjects taking EpiCor, there was an approximate 7 percent increase in volume of red blood cells (hematocrit). Moreover, the content of hemoglobin increased in red blood cells after EpiCor consumption compared to baseline, while the number of red blood cells did not increase. No significant change in red blood cells was observed in the placebo group. This increase in volume of red blood cells indicated that the RBCs being produced were healthier after EpiCor consumption, the researchers explained.
The researchers also noted that subjects consuming EpiCor experienced a mild increase in saliva levels of secretory IgA (sIgA), an antibody that coats the mucous membranes, thereby protecting against viral and bacterial invaders. The researchers followed up this sIgA aspect of the study with another subsequent 8-week trial. In this study of 22 subjects, there was a statistically significant increase in sIgA in participants given EpiCor.
Furthermore, an increase in levels of the anti-inflammatory cytokine interleukin-10 (IL-10) occurred after EpiCor use. The researchers noted other results, including the fact that seasonal allergies increased in the placebo group, but were not observed in the EpiCor group.

(CBS/AP) GLOUCESTER, Mass. - Authorities are investigating whether a pair of toddler pants that washed up on a Massachusetts beach on Friday could have belonged to 2-year-old Caleigh Harrison, who is believed to have drowned last spring.
State police spokesman David Procopio said the pink capris were found on Good Harbor Beach, about a mile south of the Rockport beach where Caleigh Harrison was last seen on April 19 with her mother and sister.
Rockport Police Chief John McCarthy told the Gloucester Daily Times on Monday that the pants, which were torn and entangled in lobster gear, are "very, very similar" to those Caleigh was wearing. McCarthy said the girl's mother, Allison Hammond, has seen the pants but hasn't been able to confirm they were Caleigh's.
Caleigh disappeared after her mother left her children briefly to retrieve a ball that bounced over a wall. Investigators believe Caleigh was swept out to sea.

NYX Cosmetics Single Eye Shadow
NYX Cosmetics Single Eye Shadow Reviews
SpectacularNYX single shadows are spectacular! They are highly pigmented, apply and blend seamlessly, and wear a long time. I have some dramatic hues ("Frosted Ocean," deep blue, and "Exotic Green," a vivid shimmery green), but the subtle colors are just as awesome. I also love "My Favorite Color," a taupe-beige which serves as a base or mixes well with other shadows. — 4 years, 4 months agoGigiSD | 1102 reviews

Great Product at a Great PriceI heard good things about the NYX line, and I was very surprised by the quality of these eyeshadows. As an eyeshadow junky, I must say they are comparable to Urban Decay and cost much less. They are highly pigmented, apply evenly, don't smudge, smear or disappear, no creasing, and you don't need a primer. I have stopped buying Urban Decay palettes and individual shadows. They are way to expensive; and I get the same quality from NYX. I highly recommend the NYX line of cosmetics. — 4 years, 10 months agoCaroleVonAllten | 1401 reviews

beautiful!Very great for the price! These are very pigmented and go on easily. I have lime green and it's a lime-green with golden shimmer in it and it's gorgeous on brown eyes and medium skin. Use primer and you'll be set. — 6 years, 3 months agovolta | 566 reviews

The apartment is equipped with sheets, towels, and has a kitchen with new appliances.
The apartment is located on Calle Mateos Gago at number five. It is a historic home of the Marquis of Linares, where are other 4 apartments for rent.
The street "Mateos Gago" is most cosmopolitan and lively city with good restaurants and tapas bars in it.
Two of the best restaurants in Seville "Casa Robles" and "Bar Giralda" are very close.
The apartment is located in the historic and commercial center of Seville. All shops in the shopping area of Seville composed streets Sierpes, Tetuan, Francos, Plaza Nueva ... are very close to this unique residence.
One attraction of this apartment is our furnished terrace from which you can see the Giralda and the Cathedral, with stunning views.
Given the situation of the Calle Mateos Gago walk you can explore the city without public transportation: The Guadalquivir River, the "Torre del Oror", El Alcázar, the Palace of Fine Arts, the Palace known as "The House of Pilate," and anything that you can visit in Sevilla, are a few meters of this residence.
The strengths of this department are:
-Its unique location.

For their daily lives in the apartment, you can find nearby supermarkets, pharmacies, banks, etc.. We recommend a 24-hour supermarket: Opencor, located in the Mall Cristina (Calle Almirante Lobo). And a supermarket of high quality within the department store "El Corte Ingles" (Calle San Pablo).
If you need to leave your car should advise us and we can reserve a parking space. The parking fee is 15 euros per day.

|Check-in before
Excellent check in even though we arrived early. Apartment very clean with good facilities and wi-fi. Wonderful roof top views, Good selection of restaurants within the area. Would highly recommend
optimale Lage, alles gut zu Fuss zu erreichen. Toll wären noch ein paar Auflagen
für die Terassenstühlen und Liegen gewesen. Auch einen Sonnenschutz hätte man
gut auf der Dacht. gebrauchen können. Sonst war alles super. Gerne wieder.
Appartement coquet, propre, idéalement placé dans le quartier de Centra Cruz. Seul bémol, la superficie annoncée ne correspond pas à la réalité (à diviser par deux) alors que la terrasse tiend ses promesses: très belle vue sur la Giralda. En conclusion, nous recommendons ce logement et cette destination
We had a wonderful one week stay at Maria's cozy apartment, with a small kitchen that is equiped simply but adequately.It is very conveniently located at some 100 meters from the cathedral in a very lively street lined with tapas bars. One can have a good meal 2 meters from the front door. Because the inner city hardly has any traffic and the apartment is on the 3rd floor, noise isn't a problem. In April/May the temperatures were already above 30 degrees but the apartment stayed relatively cool even without the available airco. We had breakfast at the roof terrace in the cool mornings and at night watched the swallows lit by the cathedral's floodlights circling the Giralda, a fantastic view! Maria was very responsive to emails and available for handing over the keys even if we arrived late in the evening. The only reason for not giving 5 stars is that the shower head needs fixing,a minor thing that can be solved easily...
superbement situé
Tout petit appartement merveilleux à deux. Petit bémol quand on souhaite dormir ensemble pas de problème pour rapprocher les lits mais... les matelas se séparent révélant une barre douloureuse.
Splendide terrasse avec vue à 180° sur la ville et autre petite terrasse plus protégée du soleil pour l'été.
Pour nous un paradis
This appartement is just great! Enough space for two persons. The private terrace on the roof is wonderful. A beautiful view at the cathedral during the day and night. We had a very good dinner just downstairs this appartement called : 'Cathedral'.
Search for a nice studio/appartement in the middle of the tourst scene? Stop searching, just do it.
have a good Stay!
Magnifique séjour dans ce charmant petit appartement proposé par Maria: idéalement situé en plein centre historique, tout est accessible à pied. De plus, les terrasses sont géniales, l'une offre une ombre bienvenue en journée et l'autre, sur le toit, donne directement sur la Giralda.
Un grand merci à Maria qui nous a gentiment permis de profiter de l'appartement jusqu'à l'heure de notre avion.
Nous recommandons chaleureusement cette location.
Geneviève et Bernard
Lovely clean & well equipped apartment right in the centre. We were very comfortable, air con worked fine in all areas, it was 36c when we were there. Ideally situated for sight seeing & back in afternoon for a siesta. The roof terrace was well used after spending lovely evenings out. I would highly recommend.
Marie was very helpful & let us use the apartment on our last day as our flight wasn't until the evening.
Localisation parfaite, logement propre et agréable.
Il manque juste quelques ustensiles pour la cuisine, de bons couteaux par exemple mais c'est un détail.
Location à soumettre à mon entourage , à renouveler pour moi aussi si l'occasion s'y prête.
The location was fantastic: very nice environmont with cosy restaurants, near all the beautiful things of Sevilla!!!
We were not enthousiastic about the appartment. The description was not right! There werent two bathrooms, just one, the terrace near the kitchen was a smoking-place but certainly no terrace!! Also not three bedrooms on the first floor but tw on the secons floor ans one place on the first floor. No place to eat for 6 persons, a small table with no space to sit. The inner garden not as special as on the photo. Old... The sunterrace without shadow to sit on, to little chairs, and these were very old. I was lying on the floor by miy first sit there...
Three stars for the location, the very nice surrounding, not for the appartment. Not for 6 persons. You have to describe better!!!

Out with the old. In with the new.
So goes the slow but steady procession of changes happening at TWT since Sam Dealey came aboard as editor in February.
Not surprisingly, some aren't pleased.
Three more reporters are being laid off this week – a longtime religion writer, Julia Duin (pronounced Deen), a foreign correspondent and a state department reporter will all have their positions eliminated before the week is out. In coming weeks and months, the newspaper will add reporters in the core news area of politics, FishbowlDC has learned.
To be sure, Dealey has faced an uphill battle that hasn't always endeared him to staff. Over the past several months, some reporters have questioned his style and intentions. They watched as publisher, Jonathan Slevin, was ousted after clashing with Dealey.
On Wednesday publications such as WaPo's Story Lab and Mediaite provided accounts of Duin's layoff – she is a victim of TWT , both publications reported. End of story.
But there is more to it.
FishbowlDC spoke with Duin by phone Wednesday. The conversation was not smooth, moving in fits and starts of Duin claiming to go on and off the record, of claiming to have no warning signs of her layoff. When questioned about the events leading up to her layoff, she expressed discomfort with the interview and repeatedly wanted to know if FishbowlDC would be talking with Dealey. The answer was always yes, I would seek comment from him just as I sought comment from her.
Dealey wrote to FishbowlDC on Wednesday: "The Times is moving forward in a new direction with new priorities. In some instances that necessitates position eliminations, of which Ms. Duin's was one. We thank Ms. Duin for her years of service and wish her all the best in her future endeavors."
Duin says she didn't see the layoff coming, but there were signs. Even she begrudgingly admits this to FishbowlDC and on her blog (Julia's blog). Duin writes: "I knew things were going south when my articles were either cut in half, tossed out of the print edition or placed in the back of the paper." She claims she was let go because of a WaPo story by Ian Shapira on May 1 in which she said there were snakes in the newsroom and otherwise disparaged management.
An excerpt from Shapira's May 1 story:
The finances are so tight that the newspaper hasn't paid some of its bills or tended to basic maintenance issues — such as hiring an exterminator to deal with mice and snakes sneaking into the building on New York Avenue in Northeast.
"The feeling everyone feels is that it's a totally rudderless ship," said Julia Duin, the paper's longtime religion reporter. "Nobody knows who's running it. Is it the board of directors? We don't know. There was a three-foot-long black snake in the main conference room the other day. We have snakes in the newsroom — the real live variety, at least. One of the security people gallantly removed it."
Continued after the jump.
> Update: Duin had seven front page stories in April, not three as was previously reported.
In December when the wave of TWT layoffs hit, Duin said she was told that her job was intact. She said she was given a new job description that she had to sign. "There was nothing wrong. I had front page stuff all during the month of April. All of a sudden everything just went to hell. You know when you're in the doghouse."
Searches reveal that Duin had seven front page stories in April and one in May.
While Duin claims there was no sign of her demise at TWT, she also acknowledges that she watched her stories get shortened and sometimes eliminated. While she says editors spoke to her about problems with her stories, she also says she was told nothing. Duin was told that the religion stories she was writing for the B section of the paper needed to be geared toward A1.
A former TWT staffer says newsroom employees were shocked when Duin made it through that wave of cuts in December. "Bottom line is she's being let go because she's not productive and not versatile enough to move into another slot," the staffer said on condition of anonymity. "We got rid of good people, of actually good reporters and kept her. She was horribly unproductive. She's a throwback to an old era where we could have a religion reporter. How on earth could she not have seen this coming? Everyone's job is in jeopardy. The entire newspaper could shut down tomorrow. The newspaper can no longer afford to have a niche reporter like a religion reporter."
The former staffer also remarked that Duin's remarks to WaPo regarding snakes in the newsroom and management were not in good taste. "Nobody's running the show? If you say that sort of thing about your own company, they might fire your ass. That's not what you're supposed to say, especially to the press. If you work at IBM and say this company is all f–ked up they're going to fire you. Maybe you shouldn't have said the company is all f–ed up."
Duin insisted Wednesday that she was the only one losing her job this week. "I was the only one packing," she said. According to Duin's blog, Dealey called her in and told her that he wanted to take the paper in another direction and that her position was being eliminated. She remarked, "I'm not saying they are going to hire another religion writer. I was made to understand that I was kept on because they wanted a religion beat. It was a real strength of the Times."
Duin's other gripe includes being let go on a day in which she brought her daughter to work. Both WaPo and Mediaite highlight the fact that she is on crutches this week after recent surgery.
But TWT management said it wasn't the snakes that did Duin in, but rather Dealey's belief that a niche religion reporter is no longer needed.
Duin thinks differently. "Sam isn't a real verbal kind of guy," Duin said. "There have been many changes since the first of April. Sam doesn't exactly tell us what he is thinking."
Simultaneously, she accuses Dealey of "verbal abuse" but won't share examples. "Usually there is some displeasure," she said. "You're brought in, yelled at, screamed at."
I asked Duin if her stories being shortened and sometimes eliminated were signs to her that her job wasn't intact. "Of course it raised alarm bells," she said.
Why not walk into Dealey's office and demand answers? "I asked people under Sam," she said. "They told me some things. Let's just say I have had some encounters with Sam that were quite unpleasant."
Duin added, "I've had a run in with him. It was not a real cordial one. Let's leave it at that. I didn't want a round of the abuse I'd already gotten."
But few have heard Dealey raise his voice. Jerry Seper, the investigative editor who has been at TWT for 25 years, said in a phone interview Thursday morning that he has never witnessed Dealey raise his voice to Duin or to anyone. "I have not seen him raise his voice. I haven't seen him be abusive to anyone," Seper said.
Multimedia Editor Carleton Bryant also spoke with FishbowlDC Thursday morning and was "very" surprised to hear of Duin's accusation. Asked if he'd ever heard Dealey raise his voice, he replied, "I have never seen him do that." How would he describe Dealey? "Very even tempered. Very personable. Very knowledgeable."
TWT reporter Kara Rowland also hasn't heard Dealey yell at any newsroom employees. "Absolutely not," she said in a phone interview Thursday morning. "If anything he's maybe too nice. Since the day he got here, everything I've observed about him has been incredibly professional, incredibly friendly. He's just a nice guy. I have not observed that or anything that would lead be to believe he would be capable of that. He has been incredibly accessible and willing to listen to anything we've had to say. He has been nothing but nice and professional and gracious."
Duin, when asked if she will take any legal action against TWT, replied, "I can't announce those kind of plans. I can't comment on that."
On Duin's verbal abuse allegations, Dealey said, "Absolute and utter nonsense."
To get the latest on Duin's thoughts, click on her blog, "Julia's blog" here. Her blog still lists her as employed for TWT and notes a number of her other accomplishments.

AMD, who has just recently launched two new FX series processors, has now issued price drops on older models. The price cuts affect two FX-Series models, and further reduces prices on multiple Phenom II models. The price drop ranges from a modest 2% up to a staggering 15%, with the Phenom II 955, 965, 975 and 980 all seeing a 10% cut or more. The FX-8120 Black Edition will see a 10% cut, with the FX-6100 Black Edition getting a 6.5% cut. These price drops definitely put AMD's processors in a better light for enthusiasts and gamers alike.
As you may know, AMD yesterday launched two FX microprocessors, including company's first production CPU, operating faster than 4 GHz. New product releases are usually accompanied by price drops of older models, and it wasn't an exception this time.

A mist of alcohol hit my face. We were downwind from moonshiners.
This is the Mathare Slum, where the streets are made of garbage. These 3 square miles of winding alleys are home to 800,000 people. It is Kenya's second largest slum. It houses drug addicts, prostitutes, thieves, and gangs. And children are routinely exposed to alcohol, drugs, and pornography.
But admist the oppression is a bright shining hope… the children and staff of Mathare Community Outreach.
It provides the normal services of a Compaasion International project, but it also gives its kids special programs to identify each child's passions and talents and nurture them through art, cooking, drama, singing public speaking, crafts, sports, and many more clubs. The Compassion International children of the Mathare Slum showcased their talents to us. Impressive doesn't even begin to describe it.
These children are the hope of the Mathare Slum. They give credit to God, their teachers, and their Compassion International child sponsors. You can play a part in the latter. Sponsor a child today.

Provinces told to keep rein on debt
Related topics
Rural governments must avoid piling up new debts as they push forward with rural taxation reform, the State Council has warned.
In a meeting chaired by Premier Wen Jiabao last Friday, the group discussed steps to expand rural taxation reform in provinces, according to Xinhua.
The meeting ended with a statement telling local governments they must strictly adhere to the central government's directive to ensure farmers' financial burden is not increased by the reforms.
The statement said provinces must add new pilot programmes for reform this year, and it encouraged provinces with financial strength to extend the reforms.
Mr Wen has pushed the rural reforms - under which farmers would no longer be required to pay agricultural taxes and other fees - to narrow the wealth gap between urban and rural areas.
The statement also said that while rural governments should streamline bureaucracy, they should also strengthen their public services.
Rural governments were told they had to establish properly-run financial systems and strictly control their debts.
They were also ordered to allow farmers to play a role in supervising the governments' accounts.

SOHO — Brian Corby never liked taking his Labrador retriever to a groomer, but found that living in a Harbour Island townhouse made it hard to find a convenient spot to give her a bath.
He envisioned taking her to something like a self-service dog wash so he wouldn't have to use his tub — and his towels — at home. Such places are more common in colder climates, but there weren't any locally.
The idea stayed with him even after he moved out of the townhouse and his beloved dog, Presley, passed away. After a couple of years of planning, Corby's Green Dog Wash made its debut last month in the bustling, dog-friendly SoHo neighborhood, complete with six self-service washing stations, all-natural shampoos and stacks of fresh towels.
The prominent Whaley's Plaza space at 533 S Howard Ave. has most recently been Charlie's Wine Cellar, followed briefly by Green Fish Greetings (before it became Nicholson House and moved to a bigger space a few doors down).
• • •
The switch from Green Fish to Green Dog was entirely coincidental. For months, Corby had planned to open his dog wash in a new building being constructed on MacDill Avenue just south of Kennedy Boulevard. But the project has been delayed, and Corby said he made a quick change of plans as soon as he realized the former Green Fish space was available.
Whaley's Plaza, which sits in the middle of a SoHo neighborhood packed with townhouses and condos, is ideal for people who "have dogs but don't have the facility to (bathe them) outside," Corby said.
His aim is to make it not just an Earth-friendly environment but a social one, where owners can catch a football game while their dogs visit with other members of the neighborhood's four-legged set. (Corby's 2-year-old Lab, Seven, is part of the welcoming committee.)
Green Dog created its own brand of cleansers, dubbed ShamPooch, which are made of natural ingredients such as aloe and scented with essential oils. Each washing station has a stainless steel tub with ramps available for the heavy or hard-to-coax dogs.
The quirkiest feature is the special hair strainers that collect dog hair flowing toward the drain. The hair is bagged and shipped to San Francisco-based Matter of Trust, which uses donated hair — from people and pets — to make densely woven mats that are used to pick up petroleum spills.
"It's absolutely amazing how much hair we collect," Corby said.
Dog wash services start at $12 for the use of the tub, towels, shampoo and eye and ear wipes. Prices go up to $22 for extras like the use of a de-shedding tool, nail filer and a tooth cleaning kit.
Green Dog also offers limited full-service grooming, mostly by appointment, and sells toys and all-natural dog food. Hours are 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday-Friday, 8 to 8 on Saturday and 9 to 4 on Sunday. The dog wash is closed Tuesdays but grooming is available.

Collingwood aren't giving up on Darcy Moore playing on Friday night, and on last week's evidence the AFL club would be wise to give him every possible minute to recover.
Hamstring tightness prevented Moore playing in the second half of the Magpies' 19-point win over West Coast on Saturday afternoon.
But in 40 minutes of footy, he did enough to put Collingwood on top and snag a rising star nomination.
Moore, 20, kicked 3.2 and took five contested marks in a coming-of-age display that delighted coach Nathan Buckley.
"At various stages of a career you take those next leaps, the next jumps," he said.
"(He played) 39 minutes and 41 seconds I think but it was significant.
"We're looking forward to see where he can go and where we can go along with Darce."
Moore said he was stoked with his effort, even if he was denied a crack at beating his career-best haul of five goals.
"I love playing footy and I love playing like that," he said.
"Playing in a team that knocks off the Eagles is pretty cool as well.
"To drive home with a bandage on wasn't ideal … but as they say, 'that's footy'."
Buckley said training sessions would decide whether he could back it up against Richmond on Friday night, with plenty in the club's hot VFL side putting their hands up for selection.
Tyson Goldsack and Brent Macaffer were named in the best in the reserves' ninth-straight win, with Mason Cox kicking two goals.
Alex Fasolo is also keen to return after another missed match due to a shoulder complaint.
Buckley also said Scott Pendlebury wasn't in danger of missing against Richmond despite being sent for precautionary scans on Monday.
The good vibrations might be flowing ahead of their clash with the rock-bottom Tigers but Buckley suggested there would be changes among backroom staff at the club in the off-season.
"We're constantly reviewing and having conversations with all our staff," he said.
"We're looking to get better year on year and change is inevitable."

DIY Rating: Novice (Can you change the Oil in a car?)
Time: 30 minutes
Cost: Approx $100
The Mazda 2.3L Duratec engine found in the Mazda 3 SP23 was cursed with a cartridge style oil filter, instead of the conventional easy to use Spin-on filter. With the Mazda 3's starting to come out of warranty now, why not make servicing your own car a little easier? Thanks to Mazda's weird engineering, the Mazda 3's 2.0L engine uses a Spin-on style filter, even though the engines are the same apart from the engine displacement. So this enables us to easily convert to the Spin-on style from the 2.0L without any hassles at all on your 2.3L.
SPINONCONVL.jpg 17.07KB 58 downloads
Tools Required:
- 10mm socket and ratchet - 3/8" or 1/2" will be needed (1/4" ratchet won't have enough leverage).
- 17mm spanner/socket - to remove Oil sump bolt
- Adjustable wrench for oil pressure switch
- Car jack
- Car Jack stands
Only 3 parts are required from the conversion - Mazda Part #s L302-14-311 (Spin-on filter arm), LF01-14-342 (gasket) and the actual filter. You can order these through your local Mazda Spare parts or off the internet from Mazda Spare Parts retailers in the US - http://www.mazdastuf...?ProductID=2869.
Oil filters can be purchased from all leading car retailers, but just specify that you have a Mazda 3 2.0L - Ryco Part number: Z632. But if you order it as a kit from the US, they will also supply a genuine Mazda Oil filter as well

Along with this, you'll also need a little bit of plumbers/gas tape. This can be picked up from most hardware and automotive shops (inc Bunnings) for as little as $1.
Dont forget to pickup some fresh oil as well, as youll need to change the oil at the same time!!!
- Jack the car up and Secure it with Jack Stands.
- Remove the wind tray from beneath the engine. There are 7 x 10mm bolts holding this in place: 2 down each side, and 3 along the front right beneath the radiator.
- Warm the car up to thin the engine oil and then place an oil pan under the engine and drain the oil by removing the oil drain bolt on the bottom of the sump. You will need to take off the oil filler cap on top of the engine to help the flow.
- Once drained, re-install the sump plug and torque back up to factory specifactions (bloody tight)
- Now onto the oil filter. Place an oil pan under the whole oil filter assembly to catch the oil.
- At this point you can remove the existing cartridge filter if you want, but its easier just to leave it attached and remove the whole oil filter and bracket assembly in one go.
- Disconnect the wire leading to the oil pressure sensor on the arm above the oil filter.
- Remove the 4 x 10mm head bolts that attach the oil filter assembly to the engine block and the whole filter assembly should now come free. A little gentle force may be required if the gasket is sticking .
- Remove any remaining gasket from the engine block and clean the area to remove any oil.
- Remove the oil pressure switch (green plastic thingy) off the side of the old filter bracket.
- Clean up the thread on the oil pressure switch and apply plumbers/gas tape to the thread.
- Install the oil pressure switch into the new oil filter arm.
- Install the new Spin-On filter arm with the new gasket supplied utilising the same 4 bolts again. Be careful not over tighten the bolts as they are going into the aluminium block which is a soft metal.
- Plug the electrical socket back into the oil pressure switch
- Apply some fresh oil to the rubber seal of the new oil filter and spin it on. Tighten it by hand only (Generally as tight as you can by hand)
- Pour in some fresh oil until at the right level on the oil dip stick.
- Replace oil filler cap and check for leaks
- If no leaks, start the engine and let it run for a few minutes while continually checking for leaks as the oil warms up and thins out.
- Replace engine wind tray
- Take it for a spin and enjoy!

The entrance to one of Porthleven's car parks is looking "bedraggled and tired" according to one town councillor.
Dick Powell raised the issue when the council met last Thursday.
He questioned the maintenance of the Kittos Field area, saying: "It comes up every year, when the wild flowers are past their best and it looks bedraggled and tired.
"It's the impression people get when they pull in to the car park."
Andy Wallis, who is both a town councillor and Cornwall Councillor, said the area was cut twice a year and he promised to push for it to |be done.
A similar concern was raised by a member of the public, who complained about the overgrown foliage at the bottom of |Tolponds and the saplings at the Stopgate junction.

I understand this is done for bumps on the top of the nose. The bones on the side of my nose stick out and I would like to reduce them without losing the overall shape. I also don't want my nose to look like a stick; just more refined. Can this be done?
Is It Possible to Shave the Sides of Nasal Bone?
Doctor Answers 14
Shaving nasal bone vs. osteotomy
Shaving the nasal bone generally achieves a subtle improvement only. The nasal bones just aren't that thick. When a significant hump is removed or a significant narrowing of the nose is needed, an osteotomy (insetting of the bones) is generally necessary.
Both techniques are valuable in different circumstances.
Sides of nasal bones not usually shaved.
During a rhinoplasty procedure the corners and top of the nasal bones can be filed down, but the sidewalls are usually not filed. The sidewalls are usually narrowed through osteotomies, breaking of the nasal bones to set them in a new natural position. If the sidewalls are filed down too much they can be more easily fractured and weakened.

Shaving Nasal Bones
Nasal bones can be shaved to subtly change the thickness of those bones. However, the increased width you're talking about is usually secondary to the shape or position of the bones, not their thickness. To change position, the bones would be fractured at their junction with the face; to change the contour the bones would be fractured closer to the bridge of your nose. It is best that you have a consultation, describe what you want to achieve, then consider your treatment alternatives.

Options to shave down the bumps on a nose.
There are many ways to do this but it depends on the thicknes of the bones. Sometimes this is due to cartilage and not bone. You should meet with a surgeon to discuss your concerns. Certainly if you desire a conservative correction, express this to the surgon, to review your options
Shaving the sides of the nasal bones
Usually the bony dorsum is rasped or shaved to remove bumps. If the edge is irregualr , then yes this can be shaved a bit. It may however make the nose look wider.
Shaving the sides of nasal bone
Dear Escape89 ,
Entire texts were written on how best to shape the nasal bones, so the confines of a brief response do not permit a full explanation.
The simplest way to think of Caucasian rhinoplasty is as one where we modify the pup-tent shaped bone and cartilage framework of the nose and the overlying skin then redrapes accordingly.
Osteotomies, the cuts in bones, are placed to produce a planned crack in the thin nasal bone as they are guided to a NARROWER closer together position, The shape of the boney nasal dome would dictate WHICH of several cuts are made with one of several chisels. The most common cuts are placed just above where the flatter maxilla send upward its maxillary extensions to join the nasal bones. Breaking the bones along the sides allows inward, medial movement and narrowing. Sometimes this is preceded by the use of medial osteotomies to allow further narrowing of the dorsum or of intermediate osteotomies to flatten any asymmetry or flaring of the nasal bones.
Remember - the mere fact that you required osteotomies does NOT mean you will have a "stick" for a nose. Osteotomies are but one tool in which we can gradually shape the nasal vault and is usually done well.
Some of the most famous Plastic Surgeons have been Kiwis, chief among them was the legendary Sir Harold D Gillies. I am SURE there are a lot of amazingly gifted colleagues of our in your country that you need not be dependent on what I or your colleagues have to say - Just seek a competent rhinoplasty surgeon in Auckland and you should do great.
Good Luck.
Visible nasal bones can be corrected with Rhinoplasty surgery.
If the edges of your nasal bones are filed down, this may lead to a wider appearance of your nose. So a qualified, experienced Rhinoplasty surgeon would likely need to in-fracture your nasal bones at the time of surgery to correct an appearance that could be too wide.
I hope this helps, and best regards.
Narrowing the nasal bones
Generally, the nasal bones will be infractured to narrow the upper part of the nose. They are rather thin usually and shaving them down could destroy them.
Contouring of the nasal bones
Instead of shaving the bones, the bones are usually broken incompletely to bring them closer together and narrow the width of the nose. Make sure you let your surgeon know that you don't want to narrow of a nose. The entire procedure can be done as an outpatient and is very well tolerated. Good luck!

The nasal bones can be shaved in a subtle fashion
Yes, the nasal bones can be shaved or rasped on the sides to narrow the width of your bridge. Osteotomies (re-setting or contolled fractiring) are also used to reduce the wideness of the nose, yet result in a natural look.

According to its website, Volupte is a world of decadence and delight, and at points I couldn't agree more. The burlesque club nestled in the heart of the City's legal district is the perfect place to kick back and indulge in a night of debauched entertainment.
The small bar at ground level is very cutesy and the cocktail menu features a fruity and fabulously playful menu of drinks inspired by traditional sweets. One wall of the bar is dedicated to this, and looks like a traditional Victorian sweet shop. Pick the sweet you love the most, and the drink will be made in its honour.
After drinks we are led through velvet curtains into the show room: a low-ceilinged, secluded, basement room steeped in old school glamour. The room holds a small selection of scattered circular tables around a small performance area and grand piano. The great thing about Volupte is its intimacy, and from anywhere in the room you would feel part of the atmosphere and enjoy fantastic views of the acts.
The set up at Volupte is a three course dinner, with waiter service for drinks, all to the backdrop of entertainment throughout the evening. The starters (Teasers) were a sharing plate of mini dishes including salads, soup and seafood.
The entertainment began shortly after these were served, and we were engrossed in magic, comedy and a cheeky host who led us through the slightly risqué proceedings.
The mains (Head Liners) were not as good – at times tricky to eat (we chose duck confit and seabass, both with lots of bones and tricky to eat under candle light, when your eyes would rather be focussing on the stage) but overall still decent with a nice selection of fresh vegetables and sides available upon request.
The acts at Volupte varied in style but a traditional, soft burlesque feel over-arched proceedings. Not that is was 'safe' to the detriment of the show, more that is was a selection of crowd-pleasers which titillated rather than shocked and were the polite face of raunch.
Puddings (Sweet Sensations) were served as a platter of sharing dishes and were indulgent and a much more suitable accompaniment to the show (we could happily concentrate and eat chocolate fondant simultaneously, such is the art of a multi-tasking female). Cheese courses, teas and coffees are also available at an additional cost.
On Tuesday and Wednesday the set menu and tickets to the show are £55, whilst on Thursday to Saturday the offer is set at £63. The venue also offers a Voluptéa which is a nice anecdote to the usual afternoon tea options across the capital.
Volupte is very good at what it does: it gives a fun, light-hearted night out suitable for couples, but I'd also recommend groups book a larger table and generate a bit of their own sense of occasion too – the more people in the room the better the atmosphere in this venue.
The venue is kitsch, approachable and doesn't take itself too seriously, and that is its charm. For burlesque you could take your mother along to, food you'd be happy to eat and cocktails a chic gaggle of girls would be proud of, this is a good bet.

Watch Mitch at SpunkWorthy
Mitch is 24 y/o and another one of our upstanding military men here in San Diego. He had been thinking about getting into porn since he was hit up a handful of months back, but that situation "seemed sketchy." Most recently, when he was approached, things fell into place pretty quickly and he decided to go ahead make the leap.
That's not to say he wasn't nervous. As soon as the cameras were turned on, you could almost see the beads of sweat on his face as he anticipated shedding his clothes for the world to see. As we got started on the Q&A part of the shoot, his anxiety slowly stripped away. Especially when we got to the subject of what he gets into sexually.
It was a little surprising to hear that Mitch is into bondage — he likes ropes and tying his girlfriends up. I asked if he ever liked to be tied up himself.
