Fewer than 1 in 5 Americans has any use for cigarettes nowadays, but here's why the Obama Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has made smoking important to us all.
The EPA plans to issue in mid-December more stringent air-pollution standards for fine particulate matter (PM2.5), soot and dust roughly the width of a human hair. The agency has determined that any exposure to PM2.5 can cause death within hours or days of exposure, and there is no safe exposure to PM2.5. Those claims are not without controversy.
The Clinton EPA first began regulating PM2.5 in 1997, setting an average daily limit of 15 micrograms per cubic meter of air. Now the Obama EPA wants to tighten the average daily limit to somewhere between 12 and 13 micrograms per cubic meter, even though the average U.S. air purity is at 10 micrograms per cubic meter and falling.
The EPA says the new standard will bring health benefits worth $88 million to $5.9 billion annually while costing just $2.9 to $69 million per year.
More than 98 percent of those claimed benefits are based on the EPA's assertion that PM2.5 kills people and each death costs society about $9 million, regardless of age, remaining life expectancy, health status and income prospects.

I had Juvederm injected on my lips, and while the left side held fine, the right side held poorly. Is there anything new on the horizon for dermal fillers, something that has more staying power compared to the dermal fillers we have at present? I have spent a lot on my lips and it's just not staying.
Newest Dermal Fillers?
Doctor Answers 6
New Dermal Fillers Versus Fat Transfer for Youthful Faces
Hi CRL,
There are many new fillers on the horizon, but none that last longer than the available hyaluronic acid fillers (Juviderm and Restylane). The best permanent filler for your lips and face is your own fat. No, we don't need donors. Many patients do choose to have their own fat harvested from the abdomen, hips, or thighs and transferred into their face.
We know that the fat that is present 6 months following the procedure is living fat and will be there with you as you age. Depending upon how the fat is harvested, prepared prior to injection, injected, and the patient's health, anywhere from 40 to 60% of transferred fat survives. The fat that doesn't survive is removed from the body through natural physiologic processes.
As fat is a permanent filler, it is most important that you choose a physician with experience, skill, and aesthetic judgment for your fat transfer procedure.
Good luck and happy holidays.
Dr. P
New fillers not ideal for lips
There are some new fillers, but in general the lips can be a problem for any injectable. Perhaps because there is so much motion, injectable fillers just don't seem to want to stay there. Juvederm ultra plus is usually a very good choice. Longer lasting fillers such as Radiesse seem to be prone to getting lumpy in lips, same for the new long-lasting collagen Evolence. This one is a good choice for other areas though since it integrates into the tissue. For patients who need a long-lasting lip augmentation that feels natural, I use Alloderm, which is a surgical implant not an injectable filler.
Longer lasting fillers are not indicated for the lips
Fillers do go away more quickly in the lips than anywhere else on the face. The longer lasting products such as Radiesse, Evolence and Sculptra are not indicated for lip augmentation as visible lumps might result.
Gore-Tex implants had been tried in the past but have fallen into disfavor.

Lips are not forgiving
In general, fillers used in the lips are not very long lasting. This is most likely due to the extensive motion that takes place in this area. The duration of the filler is somewhat dependent on the technique of injection and the area of the lip into which the filler is placed. Juvederm Ultra Plus seems to hold up the longest in the lips in my practice. There are other more permanent methods of enhancing the lips, such as fat injection or surgical insertion of materials like Alloderm or Goretex. These methods require anesthesia, and operating room costs, as well as, significant recovery times, but they are an option. Good luck!
Nothing better, except your own fat.
Thirty years ago we began using fat from the patient to get permanent filling. Since that time we have seen this called false. Well, thirty years ago I placed concentrated fat in three patients and one year later had to go back and remove some. It does last and is safe. The only problem is the difference in the quantity that lasts forever--is it 30%, 40%,etc. That will depend on the patient and the surgeon.

Jan '05 - Sep '06
since I've got some free time tonight and to make up for making new posts so infrequently, I've decided to put up an old project every week or so. A lot of these are pretty sketchy, especially as far as anything using VectorWorks or Photoshop is concerned since I was really just getting to understand the programs at the time.
The first project I'm putting up is one of my favorites, a bus shelter for the Mass Ave bridge over I-90 between Newbury and Boylston Streets. My main focus in this project was to create a sense of motion in the bus shelters and to alter pedestrian traffic patterns to mimic those of a bus (forcing them to move around the shelter, not past it the way a bus changes lanes). I wanted to emphasize that this shelter was not a destination, but part of a journey.
Here is the concept statement I wrote for this project:
The bus shelter on the Mass Ave overpass of I-90 is rather poetic in its situation on a bridge. The buses that service the shelter are a bridge in their own right, because like bridges, they connect people and places which otherwise would be divided. Also like bridges, the buses are able to connect, but not necessarily blend different places and peoples together. The two sides of Mass Ave which are divided by I-90 are quite dissimilar, yet the bridge makes a physical connection possible. Similarly, the neighborhoods from which the buses arrive and to which they depart are much different from that of the corner of Mass Ave and Newbury Street, yet they make a physical connection possible. Currently, the bus shelter does not take advantage of this poetry. It neglects the notions of motion, journey and most importantly connection. Rather, it seems to inadvertently emphasize stativity, destination and division. The new bus shelter will correct this flaw, improve the shelter and emphasize the fact that this place in merely a leg in a journey from one place to another.
Here are also some images from the project:
Concept illustrating bridge, Boylston & Newbury sides and motion across
Site model from above w/ bus shelters on opposite sides of Mass Ave in center, with ticket booth and coffee stand behind shelter on the right.
Site model w/ bus shelters in shelter] from west end of Newbury Street
View of the tapered end of the shelter model from the street
detail model showing tapered end of shelter with slanted etched glass wall and roof, with seating alcove and clear glass roof on the back. One of the other aspects I wanted to emphasize in this project was the difference between motion and place, which I did in part with the etched glass in the part of shelter where people would walk, referencing the blurred view of the world while in motion, and the clear glass ceiling, referencing the clarity of vision while at rest.
Section through computer model of the site. This was my first VectorWorks model and one of my first attempts using Photoshop to add entourage to the models afterward.
Computer model perspective looking at the non-tapered end of the shelter. In addition to the tapered end of the shelter, which is the end from which all the planes move forward to create a sense of motion, I used an abrupt, almost harsh end at the opposite end, which is the end of the shelter that is in the same direction as the travel of the bus servicing it. I thought this would be a good way of refrencing the difference between seeing a bus approach you and seeing a bus move away from or past you.
Computer model perspective view from the east side of Boylston Street at Mass Ave. The folks in the foreground are my grandparents and my brother from an old photo. Just as I was finishing up this model, my grandfather passed away which was particularly hard since he was largely responsible for my early interest in building, which eventually led to my decision to pursue architecture.
I'd love to hear what anyone thinks about this project. It's old, but I'm always looking for some constructive criticism to help me improve in the future. I'll post new old projects every week or so, as I said, with hopefully some more regular updates in between.

BOSTON (Sep. 13)
Marking the 60th anniversary of organized Jewish philanthropy on a community basis from Boston, the Associated Jewish Philanthropies here began its 1955-56 campaign for $5,055,000. The principal speaker was General Robert Cutler, prominent Boston banker, who recently was named by President Eisenhower as consultant to the National Security Council.
General Cutler told 800 workers that "there is no substitute for the active participation and interest of the individual citizens in fund-raising campaigns. Charity, as we know it in America today, is not a mere handout or a governmental dole. It has the durable quality of freedom, "he said. It has its origin in a religious injunction of great antiquity. There is a ruggedness, a stability, an eternal quality in this concept of charity."

Product Description
Produced by fifth generation Stoates family millers based in Dorset, the award winning self-raising cake-baking flour is stoneground to give a soft, brown flour, ideal for baking cakes. Softer or plain flour is used for cakes since stronger flour, when mixed will develop more gluten and so will be tougher when baked. This self-raising flour is made from wholemeal flour with some of the bran removed to make it lighter while retaining the flavour and texture of wholemeal. Excellent in carrot, banana and other tray bakes.

I was treated very warmly

By: Andrew M.' Plainsboro' NJ
He went beyond an attorney
"Rick Console made me feel like I was a part of his family. He had my problem resolved quickly and effectively. I could call him day or night and he would always be there. He was extremely reasonable and I couldn't have asked for anyone better. He went beyond an attorney and became my good friend."
By: John S.' Westville' NJ
Immediately I felt comfortable talking to the attorneys
"Being raised a "do it yourself" kind of person' I attempted to handle my situation myself' I bought the "book"' and played the game with the insurance company' and true to form I ended up being dismissed. Throwing in the towel was not an option! Via the internet I entered my information and along came Console & Hollawell to my call. immediately I felt comfortable talking to the attorneys. They always kept me informed and took the time to explain the processes with me along the way. Needless to say they more than exceeded my expectations and suffice to say achieved more than I was ever going to with my lack of knowledge. Some things are better left to attorneys' I have learned. Thank you to the entire staff at Console & Hollawell!"
By: Thomas D.' Allentown' PA
Everyone at Richard Console's office was helpful
"Everyone at Richard Console's office was helpful' pleasant and professional. The staff helped me with my auto accident. I was hit by a drunk driver and it was a very stressful time in my life.

By: P.Q.' Collingswood' NJ
I am very pleased with the way your office treated me

By: J.S.' Broomhall' PA

Thank you so much!"

God bless them for everything they've done for me!
"For me' the experience working with Richard Console was phenomenal. His office literally went out of their way to get me disability reparations. Last year' I was unemployed and could not afford to buy any Christmas presents for my family. Rick and the office all chipped in and presented me with a $400 gift card so that my family could celebrate this joyous holiday. I was astonished and could not believe that a lawyer would do this kind of thing for a client. I can go on longer!
In the beginning' I was depressed and making only a couple hundred dollars a week. Today' I'm back in school and graduating very soon! I could not be happier! All the people in the office really hustled to get my case underway and never minded my frequent visits without an appointment. In fact' they were so welcoming and treated me like one of their own. What a wonderful relationship I had with this firm! I could go for days talking about it! I would recommend Mr. Console to anyone that needs help in the matters of law. God bless them for everything they've done for me!"
By: B.Y.' Riverside' NJ
"Dear Mr. Console and Staff:
Thank You very much for your help. I am extremely pleased with your services. Your compassion' understanding and patience helped make a difficult situation much easier to handle. Some people nearly do their jobs however' you went above and beyond' and this bit of kindness goes a long way.
Your firm was recommended to me by my friend and I will make sure to let people know how satisfied I was with your firm and hopefully more business will come your way.
I don't know any other way to express how much I appreciate your help' but by saying 'THANK YOU'!"
By: L.D.' Philadelphia' PA
I would surely recommend your firm
"Your law firm's support staff presents a caring manner when first entering into the offices. I was greeted with a smile and was kept informed of the time frame of my visit. Whenever I had to telephone your office' the telephone was answered after the first ring and my questions were either answered right there or within 24 hours. Your staff does not make excuses but instead they have the answers or can quickly find the person who does have the answer. Your firm was recommended to me by word of mouth and I would surely recommend your firm to my close family members and friends without hesitation. I never felt as if I had to do your job for you or do the job of any one in your office. I was able to go about my daily life knowing full well that you were working in my best interest… I want to thank you and your staff for being there when I needed help. I am grateful that I was urged to come to your offices for I did not know what to do or where to go. I was just going to try and deal with my situation on my own. Thank you!"
By: R.D.' Collingswood' NJ
Keep up the professionalism
"You all did an EXCELLENT JOB! My case was 4 years old and Mr. Console did what the other lawyer didn't do– in just 4 months! Thank you. His receptionist was great' too' because she was on top of everything with my case. The quality of interaction with this firm was excellent!
Keep up the professionalism and the interest in your clients. I will be telling my friends and family about Mr. Console. We need honest and professional people like all of you at Console & Hollawell. Thank you again!"
By: S.O.' Pennsauken' NJ
Console & Hollawell is a top notch firm
"Console & Hollawell is a top notch firm. They provided platinum service all the way. I was a nervous wreck and Rick would call me and calm me down and keep me up to date on the status of my case. They were very efficient and walked me through the paperwork and explained to me in layman's terms exactly what I had to do to move forward with my case. I don't think I could have found a better firm to work with me in this part of the country and I always knew I was in good hands with Rick Hollawell."
By: Dawn H.' Bensalem' PA
Thank you very much for your help
"Thank you very much for your help with my case. Your firm did a great job! I feel like you give the "little people" out here a chance to be represented against big business without any fear or apprehension."
By: A.B.' Claymont' DE
I was extremely satisfied with the services
"I was extremely satisfied with the services I received from everyone at Console & Hollawell. I'm so happy I chose to work with this firm and do not feel like I would have received better services elsewhere. Working with this firm was a great relief in my life. My case was very complicated however Mr. Hollawell was not only well organized and "one step ahead" of the events going on in my case' but found a way to reassure me and keep me calm. Thank you very much for all you have done and all of your hard work."
By: Jennifer F.' Mt. Laurel' NJ
I was always kept informed
"I love how friendly everyone is at Console & Hollawell. I felt comfortable enough that I could pick up the phone and call with any questions' but didn't really have to because I was always so informed. I was always kept informed by the paralegals and I liked that my lawyer kept in touch as well. He wasn't too busy to be in touch with me. I didn't feel like just some paycheck or number to him. I would absolutely recommend others to Console & Hollawell."

SEMINOLE — After Seminole Fire Rescue firefighters showed up early Sunday morning to treat an ill person, deputies say his friend had a curious way of expressing his gratitude.
He stole a firefighter's helmet from inside a fire engine, according to the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office.
Christopher James Bergling later apologized for the theft and returned the helmet, deputies said. The 21-year-old was arrested on charges of grand theft, burglary of an unoccupied vehicle and possession of a controlled substance.
The red fire helmet is worth $500. It belonged to Lt. Thomas Winkler and was stolen from the officer's seat, or the passenger seat, of Engine 30, authorities said.
The engine was sent to a 2:30 a.m. medical call at 8771 Starkey Road, according to deputies. But once there several acquaintances of the patient kept interfering with firefighters, according to the Sheriff's Office. They were asked to leave the home to allow the firefighters to work. They did, deputies said, but once outside Bergling entered the unlocked fire engine's cockpit and took the helmet.
"What if there was another call and he didn't have access to his helmet?" said Assistant Fire Chief George Bessler. "It could have slowed down our response. It could have left him without an important piece of equipment."
Firefighters are only required to lock vehicle compartments that hold medication, Bessler said. Locking every compartment, including the cabin, would take up too much time during an emergency, the assistant chief said.
The lieutenant didn't notice the theft until around 7:42 a.m. and then called deputies, who tracked the helmet down.
Bergling, of 8872 Magnolia Dr., may have been drinking at the time, deputies said. He was being held in the county jail Tuesday in lieu of $7,000 bail.

Research in Motion co-CEO Jim Balsillie says the long-awaited April 19 release of its tablet, the PlayBook, may be "the most significant development" for the Waterloo, Ont.-based tech giant since the release of its first BlackBerry in 1999.
But are consumers paying attention, and are the early adopters willing to glance up from their beloved iPads for even a second to give it a chance?
Buzz for the PlayBook was palpable when the tablet was first announced late last September and techies were generally impressed by the list of features RIM promised. But demanding online critics long ago grew weary of the months-long wait for the PlayBook and have blasted the company for drawing out the launch.
Some gave up on RIM entirely when Apple unveiled its iPad 2 at a splashy press event on March 2 and then released the product in the U.S. just nine days later. When the launch date and pricing for the PlayBook were finally announced last week it was done with a no muss, no fuss news release.
RIM will no doubt be banking on consumers like Aret Mazmanyan of Toronto, who sold his first-generation iPad - which he bought last year just days after it was released - and pre-ordered one of the RIM devices.
"I loved the iPad, then I used it for a while and realized it was just not meant for my needs compared to the PlayBook, which is a smaller (seven-inch) form factor. It was extremely heavy, it was very inconvenient to take around everywhere unless you had a small bag with you - it was just not ideal," said Mazmanyan, who has a habit of buying the latest-and-greatest tech device and then selling it when something better comes along.
But while Mazmanyan signed up to be a Day 1 customer, he added that he wouldn't be willing to line up for the new RIM tablet, unlike the hordes of Apple fanatics who have camped out overnight time and time again for the privilege of being among the first to buy the latest iPad or iPhone.
You can't really blame RIM for failing to inspire the tech world like Apple has, because few other companies have a CEO that can cast a spell over consumers like Steve Jobs, said Raymond Pirouz, who lectures about new media marketing at the University of Western Ontario's Richard Ivey School of Business.
"To get in front of people with conviction and talk about a product as if it's the saviour of the human race, that takes a lot of personal charisma to pull off - and to not have people laugh at you," said Pirouz.
"That's a whole approach to marketing that's extremely rare, not many corporate executives can get up in front of people, inspire their customers and turn them into an audience. That's a gift few CEOs possess.
"But at the same time, without products that are truly amazing to begin with, it's difficult to tell that kind of story."
The key for any new tablet to truly compete with the iPad, which created and continues to dominate the market, will be to not only live up to it, but surpass it, Pirouz said.
"If your offering doesn't do anything that's over and above what's already out there it's difficult to create passion in your audience when you have a 'me-too' product," he said.
"You have to go over and above the best in the category - at least 110 per cent- to get the attention of the consumer and once you have their attention, to convert them it has to really astonish them."
RIM, which did not provide a spokesperson to comment, is attempting to differentiate its tablet by highlighting the iPad's weaknesses and calling the PlayBook a "no compromise" device.
The PlayBook can handle Flash-enabled websites, RIM brags, and can smoothly play 1080p high-definition video. Its smaller screen also makes video and other graphics look better than on the iPad, RIM claims. And its smaller size makes the PlayBook easier to carry around everywhere; it even fits inside a jacket pocket.
But the fact that it's taken RIM so long to bring its tablet to market hasn't inspired confidence in the company, said David Soberman, a professor at the University of Toronto's Rotman School of Management and the federal government's Canadian national chair in strategic marketing.
"Maybe not in the general public but certainly in the technologically knowledgeable public this actually creates some degree of uncertainty amongst customers as to, 'Well, you're having problems now, are we actually confident you're going to solve them?"' said Soberman.
Even the faithful converted like Mazmanyan are worried by the delay and the fact that RIM still hasn't divulged one critical detail about the PlayBook: battery life.
"Anyone who has a BlackBerry knows about the battery and how long it lasts so when RIM doesn't disclose the battery life, which is one of their most important selling features, it kind of gives me worry," Mazmanyan said.
Soberman figures RIM will start ramping up its marketing machine soon given that its promotional push for the PlayBook so far has been "so low key it's almost not been there." But he added that the strategy might reflect an initial focus on RIM's loyal corporate market, with consumers being aggressively wooed in the second wave of sales.
During a conference call on Thursday, Balsillie said RIM will be sending demo units to its key enterprise customers in the weeks ahead and has got "fantastic" feedback, including interest from some corporations in placing orders in the five-figure range. When Apple launched the first iPad it sold a million units in a month.
But investors seemed to be less confident in RIM's business, both in launching its tablet and selling its BlackBerry smartphones, after the company released its latest earnings report and projections for growth. RIM stock plummeted more than 10 per cent on Friday.
"Obviously if they believe they're going to be targeting the existing BlackBerry customers as having a high potential for sales that might explain why they haven't had a huge splash" with consumers, Soberman said.
"But we still don't really know what they're going to do in the next two or three weeks."
Few expect that fanatical BlackBerry fans will show their devotion on April 19 like Apple's loyal customers always do. There may not be much of a need to line up, since RIM took pre-orders and will be selling the PlayBook at more than 20,000 retail outlets across North America.
"I don't think they'll be lining up overnight," said Pirouz, "I don't think it's going to inspire hours of wait time at all."

Ask a Mechanic Online and Get Answers to Your Car Questions
Hello! I'm Rixster...
I'm going to help you out on this but I need some clarification on a couple of things...
You said you checked fuel pressure?
What was the reading in PSI? should be about 9-13 PSI.
Does this only happen when cold?
Okay so you have a CPFI engine and that reading is acceptable.
The Throttle Position Sensor Read is about right as well.
The Engine Coolant Temp. Sensor reading (14K ohms) tells me you are at about 0* F or lower.
Is this the case? If not it may be trying to overcompensate for a lower that true ambient temp. Are the plugs wet with fuel?
Is there good spark?
Can you get codes from the ECM?
Check these and get back to me and we'll see where we are going from there.
I don't recommend throwing an ECM at it just yet until we know for sure.
Thanx! -Rixster
It's possible the injector is faulty.
The injector for this rig is located under the intake plenum. There is one injector and six little hoses with poppet valves on them that go to the individual ports.
If you replace this make sure you place the hoses the same way as they are placed on the original one.
You can check for proper pulse with a noid light attached to the injector harness.
This is a red and blue wire harness comes out at the front left side (right side as you look at it) of the ntake plenum. Disconnect this harness, plug the light into the vehicle side of the harness and crank it. Should see an intermittent flash to show injector is getting current. If you are getting good pulse then you know your injector is stuck open or malfunctioning.
No! Not that I know of.
You've basically done all the checking you really need to do. What it comes down to is
If the injector is faulty it's time to change it.
Pretty simple job. Don't forget to replace the plenum gasket too. You don't want to deal with vacuum leaks later!
Thanx! Rixster...
Thank you so much. New injector seems to have cured starting problem. Having you confirm my husbands thoughts helped us to spend the $$$ on the part. Will be asking questions on our 1995 GMC Jimmy problems soon. How can I request you? Thanks again Rixster. Bill and Karen(the 93 is mine)
It's been fun helping. I'm glad to see all is well!
Thank you for your awesome comments. It really made my day.
You folks are awesome!
Sounds like you may have a bad connection there. If you are careful you can extract those wires out of the connector and inspect them for tension as well as the other side for staitness.
I would'nt rule out the possibility of a PCM Failure too.
Let Me Know!!!

Elizabeth McCoy's fiction has appeared in Marion Zimmer Bradley's Sword and Sorceress #7, in the "Best In Show" anthology by Sofawolf*, and in the fanzine "Pawprints" (published by Conrad Wong & T. Jordan Peacock). Her tabletop RPG writing is published by Steve Jackson Games. As her author bios in SJ Games' material continually state, she lives in the Frozen Wastelands of New England, with a spouse, child, and assorted cats.
She hopes that her work will be enjoyed, and is always a bit awkward about referring to herself in the third person.
*Best in Show has been re-published as: "Furry!: The Best Anthropomorphic Fiction!" (Fred Patten, ed.)
Review by:
Gareth Ellzey
on Dec. 29, 2011 :
While I realize that the Kintaran 'world' is part of a SJG game, this should be the first chapter of a whole book. It so whets the appetite for MORE, MORE, MORE! What happens next? To whom? Read this delicious little tidbit, and you'll see what I mean!

Genetic Diagram!
Is this right? Please can someone have a look at it?
In guinea pigs, hair length and colour are controlled by two genes on different chromosomes. The hair may be either long or short and its colour either black or brown.
A male guinea pig and a female guinea pig both had short, black hair.
The male was homozygous for hair length and the female was homozygous for hair colour. Repeated crossings of these two guinea pigs resulted in offspring of four different genotypes, all of which had short, black hair.
Complete the genetic diagram to explain these results. Write in the box the symbols you will use to represent the alleles
Allele for short hair: S Allele for long hair: s
Allele for black hair: B Allele for brown hair: b
Male Female
Parental phenotypes: Short, black hair. Short, black hair.
Parental genotypes: Male SSBb Female SsBB
Gamete genotypes: Male SB, Sb Female SB, sB
Offspring genotypes: SSBB, SSBB, SsBB, SsBb
Offspring phenotypes: Short, black hair.

From the New York Times best-selling author of Something Borrowed comes a novel that shows how someone with a "perfect life" can lose it all - and then find everything.
Darcy Rhone thought she had it all figured out: the more beautiful the girl, the more charmed her life. Never mind substance. Never mind playing by the rules. Never mind karma.
But Darcy's neat, perfect world turns upside down when her best friend, Rachel, the plain-Jane "good girl," steals her fiancé, while Darcy finds herself completely alone for the first time in her life... with a baby on the way.
Darcy tries to recover, fleeing to her childhood friend living in London and resorting to her tried-and-true methods for getting what she wants. But as she attempts to recreate her glamorous life on a new continent, Darcy finds that her rules no longer apply. It is only then that Darcy can begin her journey toward self-awareness, forgiveness, and motherhood.
Something Blue is a novel about one woman's surprising discoveries about the true meaning of friendship, love, and happily-ever-after. It's a novel for anyone who has ever, even secretly, wondered if the last thing you want is really the one thing you need.
©2005 Emily Giffin (P) 2009 Macmillan Audio. (P)2012 Bolinda Publishing Pty Ltd
"Giffin's writing is warm and engaging; readers will find themselves cheering for Darcy as she proves people can change in this captivating tale. " (Booklist, starred review)
"Giffin's plotting and prose are so engaging that she quickly becomes a fun, friendly presence in your reading life." (Chicago Sun-Times)
"Sex and the City fans will love this sassy debut novel about two best friends whose rather unlikely lifelong friendship is about to be sorely tested" (Woman's Own)
"Haven't even finished this whiney annoying story"
A better narration could have made this easier to listen to, and a more productive story line.
The first 5 chapters were practically the same information as the last book. Super annoying and super repetitive.
It's almost like the narrator doesn't even like Darcy (the main character) as she makes her as whiney as possible. Her inflections could be better for the other characters also.
Boredom and frustration.
Do not buy this book if you are interested in listening to anything more than incessant superficial complaining.
"I love it."
I loved how it rounded everything off with a happy ending.
Great easy read/listening.
Can't wait to read/listen to more from Emily Giffin.

I have a custom XmlSerializer within my class to output XML in a different structure to what would be produced with the default serializer. I guess internally .NET still generates a serialization assembly but I would like to generate this assembly after
compilation (e.g. using sgen.exe) so it's not generated at runtime. How can I generate a serialization assembly for this custom serializer? If I use sgen for that type it only generates the default serializer.
One option I can think of is capturing that .cs that's generated at runtime, putting it in a separate assembly and then including that in my product.
Apart from being a bit icky, that raises the problem of how to auto-generate that .cs as part of my build process ...
Perhaps also worth mentioning: my custom XmlSerializer also serializes nested classes, so maybe there would be auto-generated serializers for them too. My custom serialization is mostly done along the lines below - it adds XmlIgnore to some properties and
removes XmlIgnore from others. Many of these properties return objects that would need to be serialized, some of which implement IXmlSerializable, some use default serialization.
public void SerializeToCustomXml1(XmlWriter writer)
CustomXmlSerializer1.Serialize(writer, this);
catch (Exception)
/// <summary>
/// Static serializer so it's created just once. There's another one like this CustomXmlSerializer2 with a slightly different format again.
/// </summary>
private static XmlSerializer CustomXmlSerializer1
if (_customXmlSerializer == null)
XmlAttributes dontIgnore = new XmlAttributes();
dontIgnore.XmlIgnore = false;
XmlAttributes attributes;
XmlAttributeOverrides overrides = new XmlAttributeOverrides();
// Include some fields in the XML that wouldn't be there otherwise.
overrides.Add(typeof (WebResource), "ID", dontIgnore);
overrides.Add(typeof (WebResource), "HasDestinationURLs", dontIgnore);
overrides.Add(typeof (Resource), "AccessDefindBy", dontIgnore);
attributes = new XmlAttributes();
attributes.XmlIgnore = false;
attributes.XmlElements.Add(new XmlElementAttribute("ActionID"));
overrides.Add(typeof(Action), "ID", attributes);
// Instead of serializing the Actions field we serialize CustomActionsXmlSerializer,
// which outputs different content in the XML
overrides.Add(typeof (WebResource), "Actions", ignore);
attributes = new XmlAttributes();
attributes.XmlIgnore = false;
attributes.XmlElements.Add(new XmlElementAttribute("Actions"));
overrides.Add(typeof (WebResource), "CustomActionsXmlSerializer", attributes);
// ... more of these overrides here ...
_customXmlSerializer1 = new XmlSerializer(typeof(WebResource), overrides);
return _customXmlSerializer1;

Report: T.J. Brodie close to five-year extension with Flames
Calgary Flames defenseman T.J. Brodie will sign a five-year contract extension worth $4.6 million per season, TSN's Bob McKenzie reports.
Brodie, 24, is in his fifth season with the Flames after being a fourth-round pick in the 2008 draft. After finishing last season with four goals and 27 assists, he has three goals and four assists already this season in just seven games and is averaging more than 25 minutes on ice for the first time in his career. He is eighth in the league in points.
McKenzie reports the contract could be finalized and formally announced as soon as Monday.
Brodie's seven points are tied for the team lead with left wing Mason Raymond. Defenseman Mark Giordano and center Joe Colborne are tied for third with six points apiece.
• CAZENEUVE: Nash is red-hot, Rangers' defense is not
The Flames have started the season 4-3-0 and are in fourth place in the Pacific Division. They defeated the Winnipeg Jets, 4-1, on Sunday and host the Tampa Bay Lightning on Tuesday night.

But after a court order forced my retirement, at last I was free to indulge in artistic pursuits and to pen gripping works of drama. With that in mind, I now present to you my latest play in two acts, The Happy Bed-Chamber.
MR. SWEEBUL, elderly invalid plutocrat
BLANDISH, his faithful man-servant
NURSE, his mechanical ro-bot nurse
THE IRON LUNG, his mechanical breathing device
PRESIDENT WOODROW WILSON, leader of the Republic
(ACT 1. A vast but ill-lit and urine-smelling bed-chamber. MR. SWEEBUL is in his bed, being cared for by NURSE. Enter BLANDISH.)
BLANDISH: Forgive my intrusion, sir, but I have a cable here from the President of the United States.
SWEEBUL: Wilson? What in the name of God does he want?
BLANDISH: Nothing specific, sir, but he does mention that he will be visiting the Estate to-day to give you something special.
SWEEBUL: I do hope it is a vial of Dr. Klimpt's Poultry Liniment, as my anus is as hot as Hades and burning-red besides, and it will soothe it.
BLANDISH: Very good, sir.
(Exit BLANDISH.)
(ACT 2. The bed-chamber again. SWEEBUL still abed, with NURSE attending. Enter BLANDISH.)
BLANDISH: Sir, the President.
(Exit BLANDISH. Enter PRESIDENT WOODROW WILSON.)
WILSON: Sweebul, old stick, how the devil are you?
SWEEBUL: Get down to brass tacks, Wilson, I'm a busy man.
WILSON: I myself cannot tarry, as I must capture that wretched Pancho Villa. In the meanwhile, here is a small gift to you from me, with my warmest compliments.
(WILSON hands SWEEBUL a small, gaily-wrapped box. With great difficulty, SWEEBUL manages to lift the lid.)
SWEEBUL: A vial of Dr. Klimpt's Poultry Liniment! Glory be! My anus shall be as smooth as velvet once again!

When Sherburne County mental health social workers take on a case, they do more than make appointments for clients and monitor client progress.
Two of the county's mental health social workers are also striving to provide bicycles for people they help and for others who could use a bike.
Social worker Virginia Vik says when one of her clients needed a bike for transportation, she found Mr. Michael Recycles Bicycles, a non-profit organization that provides bikes for low income, homeless and disabled people.
According to Vik, the organization is operated by a couple in St. Paul and some volunteers, who take bicycles in any shape, size and condition and refurbishes them to give away to people of all ages.
The couple even go to junk yards to retrieve bikes to repair, or to take parts which they use in rebuilding other bikes,
And every bike the organization offers is free of charge.
Vik was so impressed by the work this couple does, she and fellow county social worker Darrin Krenz decided to host a bicycle drive to help the couple out.
It will be held Monday, June 20 from 3 to 5 p.m. in the Sherburne County Government Center parking lot.
Bikes are needed for all ages and for both genders. There is a waiting list of people who need a bike.
Those interested in donating a bike for others less fortunate can give any kind of bike in any shape, from brand new to used and even bikes in need of repair.
For more information, or if people cannot get their donated bikes to the government center on June 20, call Darrin Krenz at 763-248-9011.
Krenz can also make arrangements for those who might need help transporting their donated bikes.

They may sit top of it, but Cardiff City boss Malky Mackay has told his players to forget the Championship table even exists.
The second-tier maybe notable of course for its unpredictability, but today the Welsh capital hosts what many might regard as close to a foregone conclusion as one is going to get.
Mackay's Bluebirds are flying right now with 16 points from the last 18 on offer and coming off the back of an emphatic 4-1 win at Blackburn which sent them three points clear at the summit.
In contrast Darren Ferguson's Peterborough languish rock-bottom without a win in eight games and having lost seven of those.
Cardiff City v Peterborough United: Join in our live blog from 2.45pm
It would seem the Bluebirds are poised for a record-extending 11th home league win on the bounce, but fastidious Mackay refuses to listen to such predictions, vowing his high-fliers would not be taking their feet off the gas just because of the today's opposition.
"If you have any experience at all with Championship football complacency does not come into it. It really doesn't," said Mackay.
"It's not a league where you can be complacent.
"Every week bottom beats top, every week you cannot predict every result, there's always one that makes you think, 'where did that one come from?'
"If you do that in this league you are going to get bitten on a regular basis. There is absolutely no complacency.
"You have to work as hard for your points against teams at the bottom as you do against those at the top.
"If you don't do that you will be also-rans in this league.
"The minute you start judging whether you are going to win or not by the league table you are in trouble. Forget it.
"We have planned and prepared in our usual way. We have to make sure we go out there and beat Peterborough.
"No one is going to get carried away here."
Mackay is indeed insistent his men focus on the task in front of them despite what looks like a couple of enormous festive fixtures looming on the horizon.
Next page: Leicester City and Crystal Palace
A week today the Bluebirds head to Leicester and on Boxing Day they entertain Crystal Palace for a significant encounter against Ian Holloway's' men.
But Mackay has warned all that must be put aside against a Posh outfit who have amassed just 13 points so far this campaign.
Mackay points to the visitors' last outing, where they got back level after trailing by two goals against Middlesbrough at London Road, only to lose out to a late strike, as evidence of the danger his men face today.
"Peterborough are in a situation where they need to win as many games as they can just like us," said Mackay.
"They will be coming here desperately wanting to win. We will treat them just the same as we treat everybody else. Absolutely nothing will be different. They are a team who are very dangerous on another day they would have beaten Middlesbrough last week."
As well as picking up the vital three points, victory today for Mackay and his men would also extend he and his side's record-breaking exploits in the Welsh capital.
But after becoming the first Bluebirds' side in the club's history to win ten home league wins on the bounce with a hard-fought victory over Sheffield Wednesday, Mackay said he was happy to get in the record books, but valued the wining habit at home a lot more.
"I'm very, very proud of my players that they got that record," said Mackay.
"At home we've got to win as many as we can. You would look to win your home games.
"You hope it's a place where people come and are tentative when they step out there because of the noise in the stadium and the way we get at teams.
"That's what I want to instil. We are glad to have created a bit of history for Cardiff City, but we want to get out there and win this next game now nothing else."
Mackay has virtually a full squad to choose from ahead of today's clash.
Tommy Smith is still out for at least another two weeks with a hamstring injury with his manager insisting he would not rush the wideman back.
Midfielder Jordon Mutch is back in contention after serving a one-game ban at Blackburn.
But skipper Mark Hudson is suspended after racking up five bookings.
It looks likely Mackay will bring Kevin McNaughton in at right-back and move Matt Connolly in to centre-half to partner Ben Turner who signed a two-year contract extension this week.
Mackay has decided to hand the captain's arm band today to star midfielder Peter Whittingham.
Whilst not the most vocal of players his manager insisted Whittingham would lead by example.
Mackay added: "Peter is an intelligent player. He's an intelligent boy too. There's people who hold onto the ball for you and who people look to and they become natural leaders."

Hostile Questions: Paolo Bacigalupi
Paolo Bacigalupi really knows how to draw the hostility out of a questioner. Winner of the Hugo, Nebula, Locus, Printz, and a National Book Award finalist, he's got just the kind of medal-laden shelf that I live to upend. So it's freaking killing me that I can't quite do it. Y'all read The Drowned Cities? Seriously dope stuff, yo. So instead of ransacking his trophy case, I find myself repeating his musical last name as a calming mantra: Bacigalupi. Bacigalupi. Bacigalupi.
Namaste. I have arrived at my happy place. Let us begin.
Just who do you think you are?
The fifth horseman of the apocalypse. Or a writer. I get those mixed up.
Where do you get off?
The stop just before everyone else goes off the cliff.
What's the big idea?
It's not about the big idea; it's about small ones–the creeping tiny ideas people dismiss as too small to worry about. The brown recluse details, if you will. The ones we miss, and later wish we hadn't.
What is your problem, man?
An unhealthy terror of impermanence. An obsession with fragility. A fascination with the things that make our lives good, and that we take for granted–things like civil democratic societies. Or fresh water. Or a stable climate. It's never just one thing. Once you lose a few supporting pins for something as complex as our prosperity, it's easy to pull the rest.
Haven't you done enough?
I'm an American. What is this word, "enough?" MOAR.

I am going in for a tummy tuck, breast lift, and inner thigh lipo on Feb 12. I have a 5-month-old who, at the time of surgery, will be 7 mos. My doctor told me that I will be able to pick him up 1 week after surgery.
Does this sound OK to you?
I am going in for a tummy tuck, breast lift, and inner thigh lipo on Feb 12. I have a 5-month-old who, at the time of surgery, will be 7 mos. My doctor told me that I will be able to pick him up 1 week after surgery.
Does this sound OK to you?
Ten pound babies can be lifted after one week. Heavier ones have to wait for 4 to 6 weeks. No need to push it and risk breaking deep sutures. Your husband can lift them for a while!
Dear Leiav,
My first reaction is that with the planned surgery you're limiting both your arms and your abdomen and to a slight degree your legs from behaving normally. Add lifting a 7 month old in and out of a crib and you're adding significant strain to your incisions and run a higher risk of complications, like wound dehiscence, hematoma or fluid buildup while prolonging your overall recovery.
I used to do a lot of multiple procedures like you describe and have since become more conservative, limiting the number of procedures performed at the same time to one or two depending on the patient's recovery environment and job circumstances.
Remember this. The human body heals at a specific rate (6 weeks normally, longer in diabetics) which science has not been able to alter much, except when we add too many procedures at once, at which point, we're slowing the healing rate overall - like sending troops to fight in Iraq, Afghanistan and North Korea at the same time...
The problem is the natural 'stress' reaction within the body - which slows healing overall. The more areas, the greater the internal stress. The more external stress (caring for a baby), the slower the healing. Combine the two and you have a recipe for problems, which can prolong your recovery and return to normalcy.
Consider discussing this further with your surgeon as to why s/he is suggesting to do all the procedures at the same time, and is it possible that the procedures be staggered 6 - 12 weeks apart?
Dr. C
The main thing you want to avoid is heavy, vigorous, or too quick/violent movements. In the early weeks, it can lead to hemorrhage, and in the long term, it could cause the sutures to rip through your tissues, leading to an unhappy result.
I tell my patient > 10# for 6 weeks. Your doctor may have a different regiment, and I would follow it. Don't want to mess up the investment in you!
While a plastic surgeon advises a patient to refrain from heavy lifting after surgery, it is also prudent to regain normal function as soon as possible. Lifting a twenty pound object after surgery may be difficult as the added strain may cause you to lose balance, or even drop something that you are lifting. Moreover, you may pull a muscle or a suture line that is vital to outcome.
Lifting a twenty pound child is even more difficult because it is a sustained strenuous task. Although your surgeon is best capable of advising you on his surgery, in my practice, I advise patients to refrain from lifting anything heavier than a yellow pages book for 4 to 6 weeks.
If you are contemplating surgery, plan a a requiem where you will be resting. If this is not feasible, find a suitable period of time when you can before embarking on such a procedure.
Combining those three operations may extend your recovery time. This may make it more difficult for you to safely lift your child after one week. Lifting objects heavier than 20 lbs can compromise the rectus repair in the first few weeks post-operatively.
At two weeks this repair is actually at its weakest and gains strength thereafter.
In addition, in my San Francisco area practice we remind patients that children are just weight - they can wiggle and squirm causing you to need to adjust in unexpected ways. This can you to have to use more muscle force than you might anticipate.
Discuss these concerns carefully with your surgeon. If you and the surgeon still wish to perform all of these procedures at the same time it may make some sense to make sure you have some help at home.
I hope this helps.
Generally most tummy tucks involve muscle repairs (similar to a hernia) that require a minimum of 6 weeks to gain sufficient scar tissue to reinforce the repair. Most general surgeons advise patients to wait at least 3-4 weeks before resuming activities. I suggest similar guidelines to my patients. However, it really depends on your tummy tuck ; if you don't have a muscle repair, this restriction is not as important.
Patients also have two periods of potential bleeding that occurs after any surgery. T
Other than good control of bleeding during surgery, we like to keep patients calm, pain controlled, and gently compressed (like a nose bleed) in the first 24 hours.
During that second period we advise limited activity and straining (that includes lifting your 7 mos old).
Hope this helps.
I ask patients to treat their abdomens post-abdominoplasty as if they had a hernia repair recognizing they won't gain full healing strength for 8 weeks. By being careful and judicious in their lifting of children, I have never had a patient harm their repair in 20+ years. But this requires being very careful!
I often do breast lifts and tummy tucks together and the breast lift recovery is always the lesser of the two and isn't really a factor when it comes to lifting. I will not ever do below the waist surgery ie liposuction at the same time as a tummy tuck.
The most dangerous complication of a tummy tuck are blood clots (DVT) which can dislodge and travel to the lungs and can be fatal. In my opinion, any surgery below the waist added to a tummy tuck will decrease your ability to get up and walk regularly and therefore could increase the risk of DVT.
A tummy tuck is a very popular and effective technique to recontour the abdomen. Patients undergoing this procedure should consider the significant recovery process. In our practice, we routinely tell our patients that they should live no more than 5 pounds for the first 4 to 6 weeks after their surgery. This includes children. Lifting a large weight, such as a child, can put undue tension and stress on your abdominal repair. This can have the effect of loosening the muscle or widening your scar.

I usually have patients wait about 3 -6 weeks until they can perform heavy lifting.

Three Perspectives on Globalization
In their book, Global Transformations, authors David Held, Anthony McGrew, David Goldblatt and Jonathan Perraton describe three perspectives on globalization.
Related Links:
Who's in Charge? Rethinking Sovereignty for a Global Age
Why Has the IMF Failed Its Mission?
Sovereignty over Global Markets Becomes More Complex
Why Is Law Globalized? It Depends on the Type of Law
General Features of Global Business Regulation
Scholars David Held, Anthony McGrew, David Goldblatt and Jonathan Perraton provide an overview of different perspectives on globalization dominant in the 1990s. They describe the general conceptual contours of each perspective and note the limitations of each. The authors identify identify the perspective as:
Hyperglobalist Perspective
The authors describe the hyperglobalist perspective as an approach which sees globalization as a new epoch in human history. This new epoch is characterized by the declining relevance and authority of nation-states, brought about largely through the economic logic of a global market. Economies are becoming "denationalized."
Held and his colleagues point out, however, that even within this perspective, different authors assess the value of these changes in very different ways. While hyperglobalist scholars may agree on the general factors behind globalization and the likely outcome of this process, they disagree sharply over whether these forces are good or bad. The authors distinguish between neo-liberal versus neo-Marxist orientations, and describe their different assessments of the outcomes of globalization.
Greater Benefits or Greater Inequality?
In terms of the "winners" and "losers" of the new global order, both orientations agree that the lines and cleavages of economic benefit are changing. One the one hand, neo-liberals view this as largely a good thing. They say that nearly all countries have a comparative advantage in one way or another within the global economy. There will be groups who will be worse off, but on the whole, the benefits are greater than in the past.
On the other hand, neo-Marxist scholars view the neo-liberal optimism with deep suspicion. Global capitalism, they believe, will only create and reinforce inequalities within and between countries.
The Demise of the Nation-State
With increasing economic globalization, transnational governance organizations will become increasingly important. The result is that national governments will lose influence and be forced to operate increasingly according to rules they do not create.
This may be a bad thing, according to some scholars, as the democratic social models implemented and protected by nation-states will become increasingly insupportable. Other scholars counter, however, that the diffusion of a "consumerist ideology" is the first step in breaking down traditional modes of identification. The spread liberal democracy will extend the global reach of more universal principles of economic and political organization. A truly global civilization will become possible.
Both assessments agree, however, that the fundamental reconfiguration of the global economy will spell the demise of the nation-state and the irrelevance of the welfare state.
Skeptical Perspective
Held and his colleagues say that the skeptical perspective on globalization views current international processes as more by fragmented and regionalized than globalized. In fact, according to skeptical authors, the "golden age" of globalization occurred at the end of the 19th century. Current processes show, at best, a regionalization.
The authors say that skeptics also disagree whether old cleavages are becoming increasingly irrelevant. The third world is not being drawn into a global economy that destroys old lives of benefit and exploitation. Quite the contrary, the third world, say skeptical authors, is becoming increasingly marginalized.
In contrast to perspectives that emphasize the growth of global capitalism, scholars in the skeptical perspective view global capitalism as a myth. The growth of multinational corporations does not mean that nation-states are no longer relevant for governing the flows of economic benefits. Held and his colleagues say that skeptical authors point to the fact that foreign investment flows into the control of a few advanced economies. Multinational corporations are still tied primarily to their home states or regions, and these ties produce benefits for these states or regions.
Authors with a skeptical perspective reject the notions of the development of a global culture or a global governance structure. What is really going on, they argue, is that global governance structures and culture exist as a disguised version of neo-liberal economic strategies that benefit the West.
Transformationalist Perspective
Held and his colleagues say that the transformationalist perspective differs fundamentally from the other two perspectives in that:
So, even though transformationalist authors describe many of the same general changes involved in globalization, their approach is considerably less certain about the historical trajectories of these changes and less limiting of the factors driving globalization.
For instance, hyperglobalist authors believe that the power of national governments is waning. Skeptic authors argue that the power of national governments is growing. Transformationalist authors, however, view the nature of national governments as changing (being reconstituted and restructured) but a description of this change as merely growing or waning is oversimplified.
Hyperglobalist authors describe the erosion of old patterns of stratification. Skeptical authors argue that the global South is becoming increasingly marginalized. Transformationalist authors understand that a new world order "architecture" is developing, though the exact nature of the emerging patterns of stratification are not yet clear.
In general, argue Held and his colleagues, the authors of the transformationalist perspective have a much less determinate understanding of the processes of globalization than authors from the other perspectives. For transformationalist authors, the range of factors influencing processes of globalization is much greater, and the outcomes are much less certain.
An Alternative Approach
The hyperglobalist and skeptical perspectives suffer from two underlying problems:
In contrast, argue the authors, the historical process of globalization must be understood in more sophisticated terms.
