Nicola Verlato's studio resides in an historic building that shares a lobby with The Last Bookstore on Spring street, part of the Historic Core of downtown Los Angeles. Now known as the Spring Arts Tower; the building houses over 100 artists, designers, and creative companies including CB1 Gallery, Spring Arts Collective, and Psychic Bunny. Tucked way up inside the cavernous halls, we found Verlato busy painting a new series for upcoming exhibitions. The exquisitely rendered figurative style that Verlato has mastered lends well to iconic imagery. The most impressive in the studio was the larger than life painting of Madonna (the pop star) slaying Madonna (the mother of Jesus Christ) in reference to Judith Slaying Holofernes. This painting addresses the cultural shift of Madonna (the pop star) becoming more widely held than Madonna, a.k.a. the Virgin Mary, as demonstrated on search engines such as Google. Verlato is also designing site-specific monumental artworks which include architecture, sculpture and painting (and even music) as tributes to legendary musicians like Robert Johnson, Michael Jackson and poet/filmmaker Pier Paolo Pasolini. These plans are reminiscent of his Italian heritage, where art is evident on every street corner, a way of life more than a commodity.

The Germany international's deal with the Royal Blues expires next year, but their sporting director insists the defender will not leave and talks over a renewal will begin soon
The centre-back joined the Royal Blues in his mid-teens 12 years ago and has since gone on to make 130 Bundesliga appearances for the club, but his present deal has only 18 months left to run.
However, the sporting director harbours no intentions of letting the stopper leave Schalke so soon and is keen to negotiate an extension with the 24-year-old and his representatives in the coming months.
"Benedikt Howedes is our captain and one of the faces that will characterise the future of Schalke," Heldt told Sport Bild.
"Of course, we want to extend his contract early with him."
Schalke resume their league campaign on January 19 when they welcome Hannover to the Veltins-Arena.

Fans of "Homeland" were shocked this season when Nicholas Brody, played Damian Lewis, met his end.
Access Hollywood's Shaun Robinson caught up with his former on-screen wife, Morena Baccarin (who plays Jessica Brody on the Showtime series) at the 2014 SAG Awards, where the actress shared her views on why the show killed off Brody.
"I think we had to at this point, you know? Just to give the show credibility," she said. "You can't drag out that story too long without it being ridiculous."
Just because the change was deemed necessary for the integrity of the show doesn't mean it was easy for the cast to say farewell to their co-star.
"It was hard. It was hard for everybody," she said.

Without Brody in the picture, Morena said her character, as well as the couple's on-screen daughter Dana (played by Morgan Saylor), may no longer be a key part of the show.
"It's tough on the family. I don't know how they'll fit us into the story, so we may not be around as much next season," Morena – who gave birth to her first child three months ago – said. "It's hard for everybody, but I'm really happy that the writers were able to [stay] true to the story."
"Homeland" Season 4 will premiere later this year.

BY MANJULA RAMAKRISNHNAN Sumayyah Al Suwaidi is a digital artist whose passion for her art form propels her to manipulate, seemingly normal and ordinary photographs into masterpieces of emotions and sensuality. This is also what prompts Sumayyah to make the skies burst into a splurge of colours, stretch the oceans into expansive blue ribbons, elevate human forms to touch the clouds and in the process bring out the beauty hidden in those original photographs, giving it new life and vitality.
When she was just 18 years old, Sumayyah chose graphic design as her major in college, for she had by then decided to dedicate all her college years to her passion. Before she graduated from the Higher Colleges of Technology armed with a Higher Diploma in Applied Media Studies -- Graphic Design, she was already busy with her assignments, creating websites, posters, banners, signboards, invitation cards, corporate identities, logos and multimedia CDs.
Soon she found herself drawn inexorably to digital art, especially photo-manipulation and thus came about the digital painting as the next step forward in her creativity. Sumayyah uses a variety of contemporary software such as Adobe, Photoshop, Illustrator, Streamline and Painter to give the required vive to her creations.
With her passion for digital art growing, with her name gaining more prominence in the art circle, she soon participated in various exhibitions, showcasing her art. Thus came about the exhibition to raise funds for children with special needs in 2003, another in 2004 in Abu Dhabi, in collaboration with Lebanese and Emirati artists. Year 2005 saw her exhibiting in the BurJuman Art and Fashion festival; 2006 was again an art auction for charity and another in the same year for The Third National Exhibition for Contemporary Art. This year her work was displayed in the National Day Art Exhibition, the Cultural Foundation and was dedicated to the late president Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan. More recently in 2007, another exhibition was held at Qanat Al Qasba in Sharjah and was titled Emarati Dimensions.
Speaking to Panorama, from the sidelines of her exhibition Beyond the Horizons, Sumayyah spoke about what fuels her creativity.
Panorama: What is digital art? Sumayyah: Digital art is an art form that is done digitally, which means through computers. In order to get the best results out of digital art, it is essential is to have an excellent quality computer and screen, to ensure that the computer can handle the large paintings, unmindful of its huge size. In addition, the colours on the screen have to be well calibrated such that you wouldn't be shocked when the painting is finally printed. After considerable experimentation, in order to get the desired effect, I use software such as, Adobe Photoshop and Painter and I have my tablet and pen for air brushing my female models and for the small albeit vital details that contribute towards giving the painting an extraordinary finishing touch.
Panorama: In digital art, what should the term 'photo manipulation' mean? Sumayyah: Photo manipulation means taking a photograph using a digital camera, or scanning an existing picture and then manipulating it using software such as Adobe Photoshop. Then by altering and playing around with the colours, contours and defining lines, the entire photograph undergoes a complete transformation. All my digital art work are photo manipulations, and I work on images of models, change facial features, her attire, her accessories; I then proceed to build an atmosphere around her, maybe a touch of moist, lush grass under her feet or an aging, musty castle behind her, gray clouds peeping from behind a beautiful moon...all these add to the overall romanticism of the digitally manipulated photographs. Panorama: How do you decide a certain image is worthy of conversion into digital art? Sumayyah: If a picture grabs my attention, if I see some unique quality in it that is worthy of photo manipulation or if a picture fans my creativity, giving me ideas, provoking my imagination, then I decide it is worthy of further work.
Panorama: How does digital art satisfy the highly creative artist in you? Sumayyah: Digital art provides me with unlimited options of colours and brushes. It gives me the opportunity to create whatever exists in my imagination -- from little fairies to castles in the middle of the ocean! Working with this art form takes me to a tranquil level of total peace, inner restfulness and thus elevates my soul to something superior. Besides, in the lighter vein, it also breaks the myth that artists and painters get messy with colours not just on their easel, but also all over themselves, for with digital art, I can work for hours without getting myself dirty.
Panorama: Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, Streamline and Painter these are the software tools you work with. What advantages does one have over the other and what gives you the best creative results? Sumayyah: Adobe Photoshop and Painter are pixel based so they help me manipulate pictures but Illustrator and Streamline are vector-based and they help me with the elements I use in my paintings such as grass, flowers and model's hair. But thinking this further, they all give me the best results because I combine them all together in my paintings but of course the untrained eye cannot see that!
Panorama: Is an artist driven by moods and are you guided by yours? Sumayyah: Yes, to a greater extent I am driven by my moods, but then in my case, my moods -- both good and bad result in paintings! If I am happy there will be a painting, if I am sad there ensues a painting, if I am bored there gets created yet another painting! But for all kinds of moods, working late in the night is a good answer, for that is the time when the world is all yours. Panorama: What is central in your recent exhibition, Beyond the Horizon? Sumayyah: Beyond the Horizon depicts my growth as an artist; I have matured in my work and the collection is a mixture of emotions, feelings and all that is sublime in me as a creator.
Panorama: What is unique about the exhibits in this exhibition? Sumayyah: Here, I have on display 41 paintings, each depicting different subjects, but most of them have a common thread in the form of female models. This stems out of the fact that I am proud to be a woman and hold my head high about my Emirati traditions and family boundaries that without curbing me has given me the liberty to spread my wings and grow.
Panorama: As a young national woman, what do you actually see Beyond the Horizon in your real life -- outside your creativity? Sumayyah: I see that Emirati women nowadays are capable of doing what men do; they have the opportunity to prove themselves; they have the wherewithal to pursue their dreams; they have the innate talent to go beyond the horizon and pleasantly surprise people with their talents and ambitions.

ST. PETERSBURG — He was "the black superintendent," a nickname other black educators gave him to signify his stature in the community. He fought for change as a civil rights activist, and helped implement change as principal of Gibbs High School in the 1960s and as an administrator when the Pinellas County schools were desegregated in 1971.
The one thing friends remember more than anything else about Emanuel Stewart has nothing to do with his 42-year career in education, or his work for equality, though.
Above all else, Mr. Stewart was one good-looking guy.
"He was just about the most handsome man in St. Petersburg. … He looked like somebody from GQ magazine," said local civil rights leader Sevell Brown, 61, whose mother was a bookkeeper at Gibbs High School when Mr. Stewart was the principal.
Mr. Stewart, 93, died Sunday morning, four days after a stroke sent him into a coma. Once they got past talking about his wavy, silver hair and striking good looks, friends and family Sunday remembered the calm, even-handed approach of a man who led Gibbs High through a turbulent time.
When Mr. Stewart, an Ocala-area native who served in the U.S. Army in World War II, became Gibbs' principal in 1958, he took on the challenge of leading a black high school that lacked equipment and resources.
The desks were old and used, sent there from white schools. Gibbs' athletic teams had to travel to Jacksonville and Miami to face other black teams, since they were barred from competing against white schools. At a meeting, a county administrator referred to "all six of our high schools," Mr. Stewart later recounted, leaving out Gibbs.
But despite all the disadvantages Mr. Stewart's new school faced, he fought for equality with a cool, calm demeanor, friends said.
"He recognized that we could and should protest our conditions, but to do so, we should protest with diplomacy," said Paul Mohr, 80, a 1949 Gibbs High graduate who worked in Pinellas County schools with Mr. Stewart.
"He hardly ever raised his voice in anger," said Mohr, former president of Talladega College in Alabama.
Mr. Stewart grew up during the Great Depression on a farm near Ocala. One of eight children, he fought in the Pacific in World War II, then put himself through college when he returned.
He taught in Tarpon Springs and was principal of Jordan Park Elementary School before coming to Gibbs. When the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools started allowing black schools to apply for accreditation, Gibbs was among the first to earn the status. Mr. Stewart later called Gibbs' accreditation his proudest accomplishment.
Mr. Stewart left Gibbs in 1969 for an administrative position with the school district, and peers said he was instrumental in helping the district integrate in 1971. He retired in 1981.
Pinellas County School Board member Lew Williams, 68, said he and other younger black educators back then called Mr. Stewart "the black superintendent."
"We had very few upper-level African-American educators (at that time)," Williams said. "We would go to him for advice. … He was very resourceful."
Mr. Stewart is survived by his wife of 60 years, Chrystelle, their two sons, two grandchildren, and five great-grandchildren.
In 2003, Mr. Stewart talked to the St. Petersburg Times for a story about the changing of the guard among local civil rights leadership as members of his generation died. His message: The civil rights movement has made progress, but there's still work to be done. "Since segregation and the plight of the Negro was for such a long period of time entrenched so deeply into the ideas of society, it's not something that is going to be corrected overnight," Mr. Stewart said. "That's why we keep plugging away. Hopefully, there will come a day when we don't have to have civil rights leaders. But I don't think that day is now."

Future: 2014 Lexus Baby RX?
As we get closer to the 2012 Paris Motor Show, a certain speculative Japanese mag has published another interpretation of a sub RX looking vehicle. Some say it's a hot version of the hot selling CT 200h compact luxury hybrid, others are thinking it's a BMW X1 & Benz GLK fighter.
Whatever this vehicle maybe, the luxury CUV market is growing, and Lexus should offer a vehicle in a category they practically invented. Lexus reigns king with the benchmark RX since its inception in 1998 and continues to be the best selling luxury crossover sport utility vehicle to date. If Lexus does produce this vehicle, lets hope it'll come with four wheel drive. An F SPORT model wouldn't hurt either!
So what do you think of the latest Lexus CUV/SUV rendering? Should Lexus do it? Talk about it here! >>

In Reply to: rolling stone posted by Gary Martin on April 21, 2010 at 18:44:
: : re: "A rolling stone gathers no moss"
: : The name of the band (Rolling Stones) is NOT from the late Brian Jones thinking of this phrase. Rather, it is a tribute to bluesmen Muddy Waters and Willie Dixon from a line in their song "I'm a Man": "I'm a rolling stone . . . "
: Yes, that's right. My page on that phrase doesn't actually say that Brian Jones thought up the phrase.
There is an interesting article on the phrase in the Wikipedia.
Apparently this very old maxim has not always been repeated with the same intent. Some people have considered a "rolling stone" as obviously rather undependable, and not in a good way.
The article points out that an experiment was performed to see if the maxim was true. It is. A rolling stone does NOT gather moss.
I was surprised that there was no mention in that article of the O. Henry collection called "Rolling Stones." In fact, hardly any of the articles on O. Henry retrieved on the Internet mention it, either. (Since I've read every one of O. Henry's stories, as well as his poems, I was more than a little surprised to see the collections of his stories so rarely mentioned by name.)

Who Knew a Flashlight Case Could Hide Such an Awesome Experience?The Fleshlight feels very much like a real woman and can even have the "tightness" adjusted by screwing the end cap farther off, allowing more air in to decrease the suction. This is by far my favorite masturbation sleeve. The only thing that could possibly make it better would be if it came in some sort of hands-free setup/design.
Life-like feel, adjustable tightness
Not so much a con, but it could be better if it was hands-free.
The Fleshlight toy is designed to be used to simulate a life-like experience when your lady doesn't feel like participating or if you're in between ladies. The Fleshlight is a handheld male masturbation toy. Anyone with a penis should thoroughly enjoy the Fleshlight.
Material / Texture
The Fleshlight is made of a soft, rubbery material that is designed to feel like a real woman. The material does have a bit of a rubbery smell, but I doubt many men will be smelling their Fleshlight.
Shape / Design / Size / Fit
The design of the case is supposed to disguise it as a flashlight, hence the name of the product. The masturbation sleeve comes in many different exterior and interior styles some of which are also supposed to hide the nature of the product to the unassuming person. This particular sleeve is produced from a mold of Tera Patrick's labia and clitoris. The Lotus interior sleeve design is a series of larger bubbles with narrow channels between them. It does a very good job of imitating the feel of a real woman. The case is somewhat large. The actual masturbation sleeve should fit most men as the material the sleeve is made out of is very stretchy and should make room for all but the largest of penises.
Functions / Performance / Controls
The Fleshlight is a top class male masturbation toy which is designed to mimic the look and feel of a real woman and it does a very good job of that.
Care and Maintenance
The material is very easy to care for. I just rinse mine out with hot water and let it dry before putting it back in the case. Make sure you check the compatibility with the lube you use, as some lubes may not be compatible with the material. I have had a couple Fleshlights for 3+ years and it still works just as well as when it was brand new. The only thing I have noticed, is that the material has gotten to be very sticky when it is dry, but when you add some lube it works as usual.
When I ordered mine (I got them directly from Fleshlight) they were shipped in a plain brown box with the plastic cases and the sleeves in clear plastic containers. The retail packaging does seem to be a bit nicer.
The Fleshlight always makes me orgasm and is the next best thing to a real woman (or maybe a full size love doll; wouldn't know, haven't had one).

When you use the study guide along with the book, Celebration of Discipline, you will get much more out of the book and grow in ways you have always hoped and prayed for. This will transform your life if you put a little time into it. A big WOW for me.
I have owned all three editions of this book. Every time I read it, I learn something new about the Christian Disciplines. If you want to be challenged in your faith walk and convicted of your need to go deeper then this book will help you do so. It lends itself to group study and has a companion study guide to help guide such study. I highly recommend it for those who are looking to develop their understanding and practice of the Christian Disciplines.
This is the 2nd time our Faith study group has chosen to work through this book. We are all gleaning something new the 2nd time around, and the new members are enjoying it as well.
This is a wonderful book that is sure to help any earnest seeker grow and understand in his or her faith. Whether you are new to faith or a lifer, Richard Foster has much to offer you. (I would recommend it to someone with a few years under their belt, however.) He is a rare voice who understands the problems and dangers of legalistic thinking when combined with religion. He offers a more generous understanding and thereby, life. Occasionally he could do a better job at defining a particular discipline, but in general they are well explained. For some of us he can at times be too conservative, but that is easily overlooked. He clearly knows his subject and has walked the life; his humility, grace, and generous spirit come shining through. It is refreshing to find a contemporary Christian author who is not self-promoting or aggrandizing; who does not seek to tell the world that he has the sole license on understanding God; and who understands the fallacy of the "prosperity gospel" school of thought. Foster is so much more engaging and true to the life in Christ than most of the books and authors that are publicized in the media. I am using this, the study guide, and the workbook in a year-long study (the workbook is designed to be used over the course of a year), and I am learning and growing every day from it. I have/am also read other Foster books as I progress through the year, most notably Prayer: The Heart's True Home and Life With God (see below.) Might I add that I have had an excruciatingly difficult 2008 and it continues. I have been thrown an experience that challenges my faith and perhaps even seeks to destroy it. My resolve will not let it; and Richard Foster is helping me come through it with growth and understanding and new life. He has been a wonderful companion and guide during an unusual horrific experience. Rather than sink into the darkness, he is helping me (along with some other sources of support) fly to new heights above the fray. This is must reading for any Christian; if we all could read it and put his thoughts into use, we would walk as a more unified bunch and avoid much of the valid criticism from the world at large. Better yet, we would be more inspiring examples of the Christian faith and life, and thus, more enticing evangelists. I would give all three to every person I know, if I could.
Quick, buy this one and read it.
This is my second time reading this book since last year and I still get something out of it. I read it for one of my classes lsat year and to see the affect that it had was phenominal. I recommend this to anyone who is searching and wants to grow closer to God. It will stretch you and pull you to new limits.
Assists in getting the most out of Richard Foster's Celebration of Discipline. Appreciated the help.
This is a wonderful aid to the quest for righteousness. It explains and defines the classical Christian disciplines in simple understandable language and dismisses a number of the misunderstandings so typical in our consumer culture.

AMSTERDAM (Jun. 6)
A government appointed commission investigating official policy between 1945-1976 with respect the prosecution of convicted Nazi war criminal Pieter Menten will publish an interim report before the end of this month, it was announced today. The decision to release an interim report was accessioned by the Dutch Supreme Court's ruling last week setting aside Menten's conviction by an Amsterdam district court and ordering a new trial for the millionaire art dealer. He had been sentenced to 15 years' imprisonment.
The commission was established in January, 1977 following a Parliamentary debate on the Menten affair. It is headed by Prof. lvo Schoeffer of Leyden. The commission concerned itself with a number of the technicalities that led to the Supreme Court's decision and wants its conclusions published as soon as possible.
Menten's crimes included complicity in the murders of Jews and others when he served as an SS officer in the Lemberg region of Poland during World War II. He was not brought to justice until the summer of 1976, after a Dutch journalist published an expose of his deeds on the basis of information obtained from Israeli sources. This led to the belief that Menten enjoyed protection in very high circles in the immediate post-war period.

zsnes && logitech dual action gamepad && dpad woes
i just bought a logitech dual action gamepad, and to my surprise, zsnes wont recognize ANY of the axis! wtf? ive also tried joy2key but I cant get it to work right, sometimes the keys just all of a sudden unmap themselves. help anyone?
funny thing.. I had many key errors while using that on windoze as for the keys umaping are you changeing any settings when this happens? I found that used to be a major problem in my last slack install (and with windoze eire..) course I never really got around key problems on windoze I got just used the defaults and configured my strategic commander for it so it became a problem that well wasnt a problem but I would like to also know the fix as i cant really use that at this time.
its just joy2keys unmapping some keys. i have one terminal open and its running a cat /dev/js0 and zsnes playing with my joy2keys running. i start playing, and all of a sudden the gamepad starts messing up, as usual with joy2keys (for example joy2keys keeps feeding the computer the input i set for moving the pad right, it doesnt stop pressing the right until later when it just decides to give it up itself)
i check the terminal that i had running cat /dev/js0, no output was coming from my gamepad (makes sense cuz im not touching it anymore) but joy2dev is still pushing the dammed buttons when i let go a long time ago..
this is SO FREAKING FRUSTRATING
wow that is a bitch (cough makes me think of a epsxe problem I had.. cough cough in fact exactly id let it go and poor little alex would keep walking..) and it would be with anything from the commander to the keyboard to any joystick I never did find out why it did this (and it was only on xp, didnt do it on any other os and hasnt done it on slack on my previous install havent bothered yet this go around) so is the terminal just start hanging or is it not getting the signals properly it may be one of the two however Im not quite sure how to correct them at the moment Ill look into it before I post again however, and this was (and may be again soon really starting to miss link to the past..and chronotrigger) a problem for me so Im all for finding out why it did that.
the terminal isnt hanging at all, the input to the game just keeps getting sent despite the fact that im not pressing anymore buttons AND the terminal isnt showing any more output which proves that im not pressing anything.. this is getting SO frustrating that im about to return my controller for maybe another one. but i dont know which is well supported under linux.
logitech button re-programming
Aye, the gamepad does work, but the buttons get re-organised. Any clue on how to re-map the buttons and axis(es)? Thanks

The volunteers can be of any age, but the council are looking for young people from the ages of 13 to 19 in particular.
The aim of the challenge, which will launch on June 21, is to get children to read during the summer months, with the council hoping children will read up to six books during the school holidays.
The main duties of the challenge volunteers include helping to enrol children in the challenge, as well as give them continued support throughout the summer with their reading.
Other duties include handing out rewards, assisting with displays and activities in the libraries and helping children pick out suitable books.
Worcestershire county councillor Lucy Hodgson, cabinet member with responsibility for localism and communities, said: "The reading challenge gives children the opportunity to continue to read throughout the summer.
"This has been a very popular event in the past and we anticipate this year will generate the same level of interest too.
"Everyone is welcome to come along and search the varied books libraries across the county have on offer."
For more information about the challenge, or to volunteer, visit your local library.

This policy outlines certain matters pertaining to the CCDC (the EMU's Child Care and Development Centers).
Community members and UO students, faculty and staff who interact with the CCDC or its operations/affairs.
Technical revisions enacted by the University Secretary on September 3, 2015.
Became a University of Oregon Policy by operation of law on July 1, 2014.
Former Oregon Administrative Rule Chapter 571 Division 24.
The EMU Child Care and Development Centers (CCDC) provide child care for a fee to the extent that funding, licensed space, and available time permit. The centers are intended primarily to serve the needs of University of Oregon student families, seeking to achieve balance between child care needs of student parents and the need to provide continuity of child care for children and families. When space and time allow, after student families have enrolled, University employees and community families may use the Centers' facilities. Schedules of operating hours are available at the Centers.
(1) Definitions:
(a) "Student" is any person who is enrolled for three out of four terms in the academic year at the University of Oregon;
(b) "Full-time" and "part-time" student status are defined according to University regulations published in the Tuition and Fee section of the current edition of the University of Oregon General Catalog;
(c) "University employee family" is one in which at least one member of the family is on the University of Oregon payroll;
(d) "Community family" is one in which no member of the family is a University of Oregon student or an employee of the University of Oregon;
(e) "Special-needs children" are those who qualify for Early Intervention services. Those services are provided at CCDC and support services are provided to assist in meeting their special needs.
(2) Admission to the EMU Child Care and Development Centers shall be made according to a priority ranking and an admission point system. A change to non-student status for one out of four terms shall not affect access to child care.
(3) Priority ranking for admissions shall be determined as follows:
(a) First admission priority shall be assigned to student families to be ranked according to total number of points (see Section A(4) of this policy;
(b) Second admission priority shall be assigned to University of Oregon employee families according to total number of points;
(c) Third admission priority shall be assigned to "community families" according to total number of points;
(d) First priority within all categories in subsections (a), (b), and (c) of this section shall be assigned to those who are returning according to seniority; second priority shall be assigned to new families.
(4) The admissions point system shall be based on the following scale and applied to student, employee, and community families when needed to establish ranking within these categories. The total number of points to establish seniority shall be calculated as follows:
(a) 1 point -- For each consecutive term one or more children of a family have been enrolled in CCDC;
(b) 5 points -- Full-time student;
(c) 3 points -- Part-time student;
(d) 2 points -- Student at another university or college or full-time worker;
(e) 1 point -- Part-time worker, including student employment or GTF;
(f) Only one parent per family is eligible for the points listed in subsections (b) through (e) of this section.
(5) When two or more families within the same priority rank qualify for the same number of points, admission eligibility will be determined as follows:
(a) First: Returning families have priority over new families;
(b) Second: Families in which all parents are students;
(c) Third: Families in which non-students are full-time University employees;
(d) Fourth: Families who had previously applied and been unable to gain admission into CCDC.
(6) Families shall not lose seniority points for an absence of one term during the year, for a University of Oregon-granted leave of absence, or for an approved employee leave. Leave of absence is defined in the University of Oregon General Catalog under the heading "On Leave Status."
(7) Special-Needs Children:
(a) Four primary spaces at the on-campus site will be set aside for qualified special-needs children;
(b) Up to four spaces at the Westmoreland site may be set aside for qualified special-needs children.
(c) Priority for admittance to these spaces within this category shall be subject to the enrollment provisions established in Sections A(2) through A(5) of this policy.
(8) Duration of Care:
(a) Child care will be maintained for families, throughout the academic year, once the child is enrolled.
(b) If any child of a University employee or community family is admitted to the program for Fall, Winter, or Spring Term, that family's enrollment space shall continue until their child enrolls in kindergarten. Such children will constitute no more than 20% of CCDC's population.
(c) If space is available, any currently enrolled child who reaches kindergarten age will be offered continuing after-school care without regard to the parents' University of Oregon affiliation or the 20% limit set forth in Section A(8)(b). A child not currently enrolled who has reached kindergarten age may be offered space, if any is available, in accordance with sections A(2) through A(5) of this policy.
(9) Applications for Summer, Winter, and Spring terms will be accepted during the University's regular Duck Web registration period for those respective terms. Priorities shall be established no later than two weeks after the final day of registration. Applications received after this time shall be processed on a space-available basis.
(10) Fall Term applications shall be accepted during the scheduled Duck Web registration period for Fall Term. Priorities shall be established no later than four weeks after the final day of Duck Web registration. Applications received after this time shall be processed on a space available basis.
(11) Depending on annual Incidental Fee Committee allocations, subsidies to assist student families to meet CCDC's costs may be available. Application forms are available from the ASUO office. Subsidies are allocated on a sliding scale basis according to financial need.
(12) Fees for child care to the EMU Child Care and Development Centers are published annually pursuant to Policy 571.060(A). A copy of current fee schedules is available at the ASUO office.
(13) Persons with complaints about admission procedures, fees, or other administrative problems must:
(a) First submit a written complaint to the EMU Child Care Coordinator;
(b) If a problem is not resolved, persons with such complaints may then appeal to CCDC's Parent Council;
(c) The final appeal within this process may be presented to the Erb Memorial Union Board of Directors;
(d) If the complaint is not resolved through the process outlined in subsections (a)-(c) of this section, the complaint may be filed as a grievance under the University's Grievance Procedures in UO Policies beginning 571.003, et seq.
For questions about this policy, please contact the EMU at 541-346-3705.

Alabama Women's Hall of Fame to induct two women
Zora Neale Hurston (1891-1960) and Frances Cabaniss Roberts (1916-2000) will be inducted into the Alabama Women's Hall of Fame at its annual induction ceremony on March 7.
Hurston was unsuccessful as a writer during her lifetime. She died in poverty and obscurity in 1960. She was buried in an unmarked grave and would have been forgotten, but Alice Walker, author of "The Color Purple," helped revive her writings. Hurston's writings are all in print today, and are now taught in English and African American Studies departments across the country.
Roberts was a founding faculty member of the University of Alabama in Huntsville. Much of her life was spent as an activist for the preservation and continued use of historical buildings. She was the driving force behind the Old Town and Twickenham historical districts, Huntsville's Constitution Hall Village, the Huntsville Historical Society and the Huntsville Preservation Society.
The induction will be at 10:30 a.m. in the Alumnae Auditorium on the campus of Judson College. There is no charge and the public is welcomed.

Have Honda Questions? Ask a Honda Repair Expert.
I have seen this a number of times and sometimes you have to reset the idle stratagy. Make sure you have the radio code. Remove the 7.5a BACKUP fuse from the under hood fuse box for at least 10 seconds. Make sure you do not have a scanner hooked up. Replace fuse. start engine and let idle for at least 5 min with all electrical loads off. after the radiator fan runs let idle for anouther 5 min. if after this time the idle seems too low there is a air bypass screw located at the throttle intake. sometime it has a rubber plug and sometime it has a yellow paint on it. turn this out to increase idle.
Hope This Helps
Sorry I have been away from the computer a couple of days
You may need a little cleaning , But first, check and make sure it is full of coolant and oil. If you engine is not full of coolant and the intake does not warm up correctly not only does this mess with the coolant sensor but it also contributes to the build up of coking in the intake and idle air control. There is a small metal hose that runs between the back of the head to the intake manifold. It should get hot. If it does not then your either low on coolant or there maybe a coolant passage stopped up. this does happen. also air in the system is a problem, this hose is somtime a good place get it out. These Hondas as well as many of the feul inj ones, had a problem with cokeing of the throttle plate. idle passages and intake manifold,as well as the EGR. sometime the intake would have to be removed to do this. You may be able to clean the throttle body plates,and idle passages. You may be able to gently spray a good intake cleaner (not a carb cleaner) into the throttle and idle passages while idleling to help break loose the residue that gathers on most all these parts. do this for a short period of time(1 Minute or less) , Then shut it down and clean the throttle with a small brush.(toothbrush works well). start back up and try to clean out with the cleaner for a short time again. Trying not to kill the engine spray into the idle air pass. After this you may need to do anouther idle relearn.
If this does not help any you may need to remove the intake or the idle air control to clean further or possibly even replace the idle air control if this does not free it up.
sorry for the delay
Hope this helps

ANAMANAGUCHI Announces Additional Tour Dates
Anamanaguchi is a band made up of hackers and producers born and raised on the Internet, currently living in New York City. On May 14th, they released Endless Fantasy through their own brand new label, dream.hax - their ?rst album since soundtracking Scott Pilgrim vs. The World in 2010.
Anamanaguchi started in Pete Berkman's basement in the suburbs of New York where Weezer, snacks and Super Nintendo lived in equal rotation. At 15, he began experimenting with creating punk music using an 8-bit NES. Following bass player James DeVito to NYU's Music Technology program, Pete met Ary Warnaar who grew up in LA on raves, fashion and lazer tag. Ary began writing for the band, lending a more academic electronic-influence to Berkman's capricious pop sensibilities. Later that year Luke joined as the band's drummer via a MySpace message and then the band had fully formed.
Anamanaguchi is serious about being happy. They're part of a wave of young Internet romantics, nostalgic for a future they know may never come, but can see the seeds of it in the beauty that surrounds them. They're making emotional dance music for the video game generation and aren't afraid to claim it. Anamanaguchi was born past cynicism and indifference; they're in love with the universe and aim to celebrate magic-made-real with their music. The band is interested in breathing life into low-tech machines and making expressive, emotional melodies using the simplest, rawest electronic tones available.
Anamanaguchi is what the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles would've been if they were a band. Ary is cool but rude, Luke is a party dude, Pete leads, and James does machines (he's responsible for all the DIY sound-and-light electronics the band uses).
Their recently released album, Endless Fantasy, is about reality and dreams, being young and searching for agency in an in?nite existence. Its 22-tracks explore dreamworlds of all kinds from polygon forests, to Tokyo drifting hills at 100mph, to the lifestream from Final Fantasy VII.
Release Date: May 14, 2013
Track List:
1. Endless Fantasy
2. Japan Air
3. Echobo
4. Planet
5. Viridian Genesis
6. John Hughes
7. Prom Night
8. Interlude (Gymnopedie No 1)
9. Akira
11. Interlude (Total Tea Time)

ISLAMABAD: Sindh police arrested Sikander Jatoi, father of Shahrukh Jatoi, from the premises of the Supreme Court on Thursday, DawnNews reported.
Sikander, father of one of the key suspects in the Shahzeb Khan murder case, had appeared in the apex court to secure bail.
Also on Thursday, the Supreme Court heard the suo motu case over Khan's murder.
During the hearing, Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry remarked that Sikander should cooperate with the police in its investigation.
The chief justice earlier added that no one in the country was above the law, adding that Sikander should offer his arrest and should cooperate in the investigation.
Adjourning the hearing to Jan 16, the bench directed the authorities to arrest and present Shahrukh in the trial court on the said date.
Twenty-year-old Shahzeb was gunned down on Dec 25, 2012 near his house in Karachi's Defence Housing Society and Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry had taken a suo motu notice in this case.
Shahzeb, son of a DSP, was murdered reportedly after he had an altercation with another key suspect Siraj Talpur, whose servant had allegedly given verbal threats to the victim's sister.
Shahrukh, who had fled to the UAE within hours after the murder, is in Dubai but the UAE government is in no hurry to detain him apparently because of a lack of coordination between foreign offices of the two countries, sources had told Dawn on Wednesday.
Dubai police might arrest Shahrukh in a few hours if there was proper coordination between the two governments, the sources had stated further.
They had said that up till now just a request had been sent by Pakistan Interpol to its counterpart in the UAE.

MODEC, Inc., Mitsui & Co., Ltd. and Marubeni Corporation have agreed that the companies will invest in a long-term charter business operated by MODEC for the purpose of providing a floating production, storage, and offloading system (FPSO) for use in the Cernambi Sul area of a pre-salt oil field off the coast of Brazil. Documents to this effect were signed Thursday.
Under this agreement, Mitsui, MOL and Marubeni will invest in Cernambi Sul MV24 B.V. (MV24), a Dutch company established by MODEC. MV24 has signed a long-term chartering agreement with Tupi B.V., a Dutch company owned by PETROBRAS NETHERLANDS B.V. (65%), BG OVERSEAS HOLDING LTD. (25%), and GALP ENERGIA E&P BRASIL B.V.(10%). The FPSO will be chartered to Tupi B.V. for 20 years.
Construction of the FPSO will involve the conversion of a VLCC (very large crude oil carrier), which will be renamed "FPSO Cidade de Mangaratiba MV24." It will be deployed to the Cernambi Sul area of the BM-S-11 block off the coast of Brazil in the third quarter of 2014. The area is part of a deepwater oil field located about 186 miles (300 kilometers) south of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The oil is contained in the pre-salt layer about 16,404 feet (5,000 meters) beneath the seabed.
MODEC and Mitsui have already provided two FPSOs for the pre-salt oil field, and this will be their third pre-salt related FPSO chartering project. It is the second project of its type for MOL and the first for Marubeni. The Schahin Group, which was the joint bidder for the projects as the local partner in Brazil, will have a 15% stake in MV24 after the commencement of the FPSO charter.

A Model of Layoff, Search and Job Choice and Its Estimation
A labor-market model of search and transitions is analyzed where certain jobs carry layoff prospects and others do not. The dynamic value functions are solved for reservation wages for searchers with a choice between these jobs. For the laid-off worker, the wage at the prior job emerges as an important determinant of the optimal search strategy. Similarly, prospect of layoff is an important consideration for permanently separated workers during search. Conditioning on the nonparametric estimates of the reservation wages, the model is estimated using data from the Employment Opportunities Pilot Project survey. Copyright 1992 by MIT Press.

Maddie Kertay from Domestic Anarchy is back! She shared the Sweet Dreams Nap Mat in our Back to School series, and today she fills us in on the worlds of possibility in all of those decorative stitches you might just have on your sewing machine. Learn more about Maddie in her introduction, and be sure to stop by Domestic Anarchy where she writes about her "obsessive love of sewing and crafting" and how to homeschool several kids while working from home, all while keeping sane and happy!
Today even the simplest mechanical sewing machine comes with at least a few decorative stitches built in; these are sometimes erroneously called "embroidery stitches." These fancy stitches might include a nice blanket stitch or perhaps even a scallop or honeycomb stitch.
More expensive machines come with perhaps 60 or more such stitches and possibly even multiple width options depending on the features included. These stitches are produced like any other, by having the fabric under the sewing foot with the feed dogs feeding the fabric in the correct sequence to make the selected stitch. While the stitches can be called embroidery these differ from what an "Embroidery Machine" can do. With an embroidery machine the fabric is put in a hoop and the hoop is attached to a mechanical arm on the machine which moves the hoop to create the embroidered design in conjunction with the needle.
Today we will be talking about the built-in decorative stitches that are produced on just about any machine and are therefore open for everyone to experiment with. And experiment you must since each machine needs it's own set of adjustments to make the most of these fun and flirty stitches. The first thing to know is that dec-stitching requires stabilization of the fabric to help keep it flat and firm so that the stiches can look their best. There are multiple products that you can use depending on the fabric you want to embellish. Remember to always try a sample before stitching on your actual project; this will save you loads of frustration! Also look to see if your machine came with a foot exclusively meant to be used with dec-stitching.
It will often have an open toe and the underside with be carved out so that the fuller stitches can slide smoothly under the foot. If your machine did not come with such a foot check with your local dealer– Most likely there is one you can buy for just this purpose.
Stabilization, from Lite to Bulletproof
Your first line of defense when it comes to dec-stitching is heavy spray starch.
By liberally starching your fabric you might gain enough fiber strength that you will not need anything else. Spray your fabric giving the starch a minute of two to soak in and then iron until bone dry for best results. Remember: Run a sample!
If starch was not enough your next option is to try tear away stabilizer for close satin stitches. Cut the stabilizer into strips and place under the area you want to stitch. If needed, hold the paper in place with a pin or two. If you happen to be in a pinch with no tear-away around you can use adding machine paper tape or even plain copy paper if you are really desperate. If you are stitching anything that is openwork you will want to use a water dissolvable stabilizer since pulling off the paper will ruin the open work.
For even more support combine the previous techniques for unquestionable support that should work for even the most troublesome fabrics.
Technique Is Key for Top Notch Stitching
Slow and steady are the key words when it comes to making wonderful dec-stitching. This is not the time to put the pedal to the metal and gun your machine as fast as it will go. If you are stitching slow enough to start getting bored then you are probably going the right speed for getting the most out of your stitches, especially the ones that incorporate satin stitching or lots of back and forth action. Feel free to speed up a little as you gain confidence but at a certain point your stitch quality will suffer.
Typically you will be stitching using your regular thread but don't be afraid to branch out into some of the beautiful rayon threads that have a wonderful sheen and depth to their color. This will more often than not add an extra little something to your project. If using a metallic be sure to use a needle made just for that very situation.
Depending on your machine you might get a better stitch-out by lowering your upper thread tension 1-2 notches so the upper thread pulls to the bottom nicely and you don't have bobbin show through. If tension adjustment does not help to make a perfect stitch, use matching bobbin thread to disguise this little annoyance.
Getting to Know Your Stitches
So, you have 45 built-in dec-stitches, there they are with tiny little indications on the front of your machine, but what do they really look like? Well here is your time to find out. By making a machine stitch sampler you will never again be at a loss in deciding which one would look best on your newest project!
You will need:
- 1 piece of firmly woven cloth starched and backed with a piece of tear-away stabilizer
- 1 wooden embroidery hoop to display your stitch masterpiece (not to use for stitching)
- Fabric marking pen with disappearing ink
- Sewing machine and thread(s) of choice
Start by marking the fabric with a circle a bit bigger than your hoop size. Then draw lines through the circle about 1 inch apart as guideline for stitching.
Now take your fabric to the machine and start with your very first decorative stitch and sew it out. Start way off of the circle area so you have time to tweak the settings so that by the time you are in the circle are your stitch is looking great!
When the circle is filled mount it into the hoop, trim the extra fabric. Turn it to the back and hold in place with a touch of hot glue. Use a ribbon to hang it near your machine so you can consult it as you are thinking about adding dec-stitching to your next project!

What a great idea! I'm definitely going to have to try this out. 🙂
What a great post! I definitely learned something new and am excited to try out these nifty tricks.
Looks just like my purple granny dress I made and posted!
Stop and see it! i like the machine embroidery sometimes; it's a quick deco job when there's little time to do something special by hand.
This is absolutely the best tutorial I have ever read about machine dec stitching and I am not new to either the machine with dec stitches or an embroidery machine. Every step was clear and concise. Thanks so much for posting!!
Thanks for the great idea! Love it!
I have many decorative stitches on my machine but haven't really played with them. This is a great project and I won't feel like I am "wasting" my thread or fabric.
Very pretty!
Thanks for sharing this! I can do embroidery on my sewing machine but haven't tried yet.
beautiful idea.
I love this idea! I've had my machine for years and just don't use the decorative stitches. I really want to do this now. Thanks for sharing.
Dear all… thank you.. I am blushing. I could not be happier to have shed some light on this topic for so many… As for the comment about now that we have the stitches what can we do with them that does not look like a 70's re-tread ( gotcha!).. I will get right to work on that and get something up at Domestic Anarchy in the next week or so… got some pretty good ideas in this tiny little head of mine.

I love using decorative stitches! They're great on baby blankets, and tote bags. What kind of machine was used for those stitches in the photos? I LOVE that wavy stitch!
Forget hanging this by my machine, i want to do this just to hang it the rest of my hoopla wall! Though it would be a good reference. And quick!
This is such a cute idea and would be great way to add some style to my sewing area.
Great post! thank you!
Cute and a great idea!
Oh, thank you! Stabilizer–a light bulb moment for sure. I wondered why my decorative stitches never came out right!
Great inspiration! Thanks!!
I just got a new Bernina with many decorative stitches and I haven't used decorative stitches since my daughter was small. But I want to get back to it since my machine doesn't have just cutesy stitches like my old one! This tute will definitely help!
Love love this website! Does anyone know if the tutorials can be converted to PDF for my iPad? Thanks
Now I wish I had a machine with decorative stitches just so I could make a sampler. What an awesome and useful projects. Hmmm. Even if I don't have decorative stitches maybe I should make a zigzag/satin stitch sampler. I can never remember exactly which number to use for the size I want.
This is what I need to do to learn my stitches because you can't tell what they really look like from the teeny-tiny graphics.
Great idea! I always forget what stitches I have and how great they look. Thanks for inspiration 🙂
Thankyou! I have finally figured out how to do this. The thing I learnt was to go slow. I can now use this function on my ancient old Bernina.
My Dear Friend… YOU ROCKED THIS!
I so needed to read this. I just bought a Janome with a lot of fancy stitches, and I read a few things in this article that I did not know! Now I'm really excited about incorporating these into a future project.
I didn't know starch would help stabilize…maybe this is where I go wrong in the beginning 🙂
I have a dec-stitch project coming up, so this is perfect!
This is a great idea! I sometimes use my decorative stitches, but always forget what width and length I like best, so I may play around with that aspect as well. Tanks for such a great post!
I love this idea. The reason I don't use a lot of decorative stitches is because I'm too impatient. I don't want to sit there and wait for the machine to go back and forth, back and forth. Now if I had one of those embroidery machines that can sew by itself, I might put a little touch up on everything.
What a great reference tool & way to get familiar with my machine.
GENIUS! I love it! This is a fantastic idea and I didn't know that stabilizer was the key to a good decorative. My only question is: how can one make use of these decorative stitches in a modern sewing application (as opposed to, say, the edge of the collar on a denim shirt)? I'd love to see examples!
I am totally doing this! Thanks for the great idea!
This is such a great idea and the starch tip, well, that's just genius.
Great idea! I know I have a more than a few stitches on my machine that I rarely use. This might be a good help in getting them into more projects.
What a great idea my new machine has tons of stitches I've never tried. This is a good way to try them all out too.
great idea and info – I have been scared of "that stabilizer stuff"! thanks!
Love this project! What a great way to explore the decorative stitches my machine can do. As a bonus, it's a cute way to decorate my sewing space 🙂
What a lovely and function idea! I've got to try this. I'm new to my machine (and sewing in general, I suppose!) and this would certainly make it easier to get the most out of it! Thanks for sharing!

ELECTRONIC cigarettes must not become a Trojan horse for the tobacco industry, used to make smoking acceptable, a government minister has warned.
The rising number of people smoking the liquid nicotine and growing marketing of the product has sparked concerns that people throughout Scotland could become hooked.
John Mason, Shettleston SNP MSP, asked the public health minister if he was concerned about the marketing of the products and the role the traditional tobacco industry has in the new market.
Mr Mason is worried that companies who manufacture and sell cigarettes are involved in the sale of the new e-cigarettes.
Michael Matheson, the public health minister, said the government was concerned about the potential for electronic cigarettes to replace traditional smoking and said regulations had to be carefully devised to ensure only the potential benefits were achieved.
He said there was a place for the devices if they were for medical purposes and used to help people stop smoking, but not to attract a new generation of customers just smoking a different product.
He said: "I remain concerned that the promotion of those devices could re-normalise smoking behaviour, particularly among young people."
"It is right that we should also stand against promotion, advertising and sponsorship deals that feed nicotine addiction, especially in the context of being attractive to young people."
Mr Matheson said there were European Union regulations which set out the maximum level of nicotine allowed in electronic cigarettes, but said Scotland could consider its own measures to protect the benefits of anti smoking laws and measures.
He added: "We will consider what further measures we take in Scotland.
"I am anxious not to damage the decade of good progress we have achieved and of the need to guard against electronic cigarettes being a Trojan horse for the tobacco industry to achieve its objectives."

Round Two for 'Title II Lite'
Written by Andrew McDiarmid
Yesterday, we filed yet another set of comments with the FCC, this time as it reconsiders its legal authority over broadband service. As we've said before, we fully support the Commission's proposal to reclassify broadband Internet access as a telecommunications service (with forbearance from the lion's share of telecom rules). This is clearly how people use broadband – as a general-purpose connection to their own choice of unaffiliated web content and services – and it is high time for the FCC to recognize this.
Again we say the Commission must articulate clear limits to its jurisdiction. Nothing in this reclassification effort should give any hint that they intend – or have any legal authority – to regulate Internet content or services. Congress and the courts are crystal clear on this point. This FCC must endorse this state of the law in any reclassification order. Doing so will quiet the doomsday rhetoric that this is part of an effort to "regulate the Internet," and will help prevent future Commissions from extending the agency's authority in that direction.
After arguing extensively that the facts of today's Internet support reclassification, our comments zero in on crafting a definition of "Internet access service" that keeps the focus narrowly on last-mile transmission of data. In addition, we offer some suggestions on protecting customer privacy. Lastly, we argue that the reclassification should apply equally to all providers of broadband Internet access, including wireless carriers, in light of the increasing similarity with which various forms of connectivity are used.
Overall, we're optimistic that this FCC is on the right tract, and that one of these days we will end up with a strong, but rightly limited, theory of jurisdiction and a workable set of rules to ensure the continued openness of the Internet. Stay tuned.

Glass Identification - Post here for all ID requests > Glass Trinket Sets
GTS Mystery #27 with variant candlholders, 7 piece + footed/pedestal bowls
Anne E.B.:
Any ideas on who made this 7 piece trinket set please? An identical tray is seen in amber and green - Mystery Set 27 glasstrinketsets.com
I'm guessing it might possibly be Czech...
Many thanks ;D
Sorry I have no idea on the maker but I have one of the trinkets pots also in blue and its nice to see the rest of the set. Thanks! :)
Another GTS Mystery set 27 in blue but with more conventional stick candleholders.
Then another GTS Mystery set 27 in an unusual dusky pink, also with the conventional stick candlesticks.
The loop-handle candleholders have been seen in other (quite different ) sets, and there is already a topic thread about their occurrence at
and [my] post #3 on that thread also has a photo showing, surprise!, the loop-handled candleholders with the GTS Mystery set 27 tray and lidded pots just as in Anne E.B.s initial post in this topic.
Actually, I've only just noticed that the conventional 'stick' candleholders in these blue and pink sets are different - the bases differ in shape , and the pink set candleholders have a wax catcher plate below the cup on the sconce that is absent in candleholders in the blue set
At least we now know that the GTS Mystery 27 sets come in amber, uranium green, and two shades of pink, and that they can occur with either conventional stick candleholders [perhaps in a variety of different shapes] or loop-handle candleholders, but I dont think that we are any further on with an attribution whatever the shape of the candleholders.

I'm in tears every day due to a Blepharoplasty surgery and Laser Resurfacing. I am only 36 and looking back, there was nothing wrong with my eyes. Now I do. I have extra baggy skin, extra folding sunken eyes, and wrinkles which I never had before and not sure how to repair this. I probably should never had the surgery in the first place. My eyes were fine. It's not even a year later and now I have a huge problem. What can be done about this?
Extra Baggy Skin After Blepharoplasty (photo)
Doctor Answers 9
You can be made better with a revision.
Hi! I think I may have answered a question for you already?
From your picture, I think you need lower lid skin removal WITH a canthopexy to prevent the lids from falling. You could probably also use fat injections at the same time.
I don't think injecting fillers will make you happy. At any rate, definitely do not use Perlane. Restylane (in very small amounts) is more forgiving in this tricky area, if you want to try a filler.
Transconjunctival blepharoplasty alone can exaggerate wrinkles
I prefer to use an external incision on many of my blepharoplasty patients to address the fat (excision or redraping), along with muscle tightening, skin removal and canthal tightening. You may need to have the skin/muscle addressed at this point and should seek further consultation.

It looks like you need skin tightening
Based on your picture, it looks like you need skin tightening. This can be accomplished with a chemical peel, laser resurfacing, or skin resection. You just have to be careful the the tension of your lower lid is sufficient, since multiple lower lid procedures may cause the lid to pull away from the eyeball if a canthopexy (tightening stitch) is not used.

Arcus release, open fat grafting, and fractional laser resurfacing
I am sorry to hear of your situation. Skin excision to remove the excess skin might help, but an open blepharoplasty a second time would risk weakening the support of the lower eyelid and could create a "sad eyed look", thus I would avoid any additional incision on the eyelid.
My approach would be to use a laser incision on the inside of the lower eyelid-the transconjunctival approach, and harvest fat from around the belly button to use as a graft to plump the lower portion of the eyelid. I would do an arcus release which would allow the graft to be placed beneath the very lowest portion of the eyelid, on the cheek bone. This would plump the depression or hollow and fill some of the loose skin which is in folds along the lower portion of the lower eyelid.
I would also do additional fractional laser skin resurfacing to tighten the skin. I would use the ablative 2940 fractional laser which will improve wrinkles, tighten the skin and improve skin texture, unlike old time CO2 laser resurfacing.
You can see a before and after picture of this procedure.
Seek advice from your surgeon or get a second opinion from a specialist
Without knowing the full details of your preoperative condition, and what surgery was performed, it is difficult to comment on what can be done to improve the situation. My advice is to talk to your surgeon and develop a plan that meets your needs. You can also get another opinion from a specialist in this area.
Surgery for lower lid revision may be needed
A full contact Blepharoplasty with muscle and skin redraping will address this issue for the long term. Laser could have a role but since it did not work for you it is better to try surgery.

Not sure if you look worse without before pictures
You have after pictures that shows sunken upper eyelid and extra skin over the lower lid. you may had too much fat taken from upper lid and not enough skin taken from lower eyelid. I believe you had tranconjunctival blepharoplasty and laser resurfacing. This a very common problem from this combination. You may want to get a consultation from a board certified plastic surgeon that does redo.
There are options for excess skin and hollowness
I assume that you had a transconjunctival blepharoplasty (performed through the inside of the eyes). You had already laser resurfacing. Therefore, options to consider now include additional skin removal through a incision just beneath the lash line. Volume enhancement with fat transfer (or injectable fillers) can improve the sunken aspect.
I hope this helps.
Baggy skin and upper lid hollowing can be corrected
I see the skin problem, but on this view, I can't fully appreciate the sunken eye situation (I see it in the upper lids).
Let's talk about the skin first. I am not sure why you have the excess after the laser and the blepharoplasty. Some less invasive things to try to smooth the wrinkles would be Kinerase, which you can get over the internet, and apply 2X/day. It will give some improvement as long as you use it. You may also want to try to get a chemical peel like a Vipeel or some other type (TCA, glycolic, etc.).
Ultimately, it looks like the excess skin should be surgically corrected, and if there is still some crepy skin after healing, try the above, or if needed, laser. I know you don't want to hear this, but at least I feel that this problem is treatable.
The hollowing of the upper lids is due to the removal of fat during the blepharoplasty. This is a harder situation to treat. Sometimes this can be corrected by going in and puling the remaining fat forward to fill in the void. A fat transfer may also be helpful.
Whatever you decide to do at this point, be sure to use a very experienced surgeon who feels comfortable doing secondary blepharoplasty with these cosmetic issues.

text: Welcome to the Fantastic 50. This list is a compilation of the ranked list from the Super 30 thread. At first it started as a weekly ranking but turned into a monthly ranking format. To make the weekly rankings fit into the monthly I just added up the weeks for each month and took the top 30 from that. Also, the thread started in April so it may be missing some projections from the Road to Wrestlemania but I think overall it summarizes 2012 pretty. Please make sure to check out all of the cards since a lot of inviduals from the PWB took time in writing them. If you'd like to be involved in this process in the future check out the Super 30 thread after the last ppv of the month and share who you think are the top 13 wrestlers of that month(or more). Alright, let's get to it it it. *Also for accomplishments I used another PWB interactive thread called Match of the week. It's a weekly process where users vote for the best match and I thought that would be a nice accomplishment to add to the stats. art by Random_Hero_Scog 50. 49.48. 47. 46. 45. 44. 43. 42. 41. 40. 39. 38. 37.36. 35. 34. 33. 32. 31. 30. 29. 28. 27.

Integrating Mental Health & Substance Abuse Strategies
The Cost Offset Issue
Unrealized Potential?
Mark Olfson, M.D., M.P.H., Associate Professor of Clinical Psychiatry, New York State Psychiatric Institute and Columbia University, New York, NY.
An issue often raised in discussions about making greater investments in mental health and substance abuse (MH/SA) treatment is the potential that these investments can have the effect of reducing spending on other health care services that would otherwise be incurred (the "cost offset" issue).
In this session, Dr. Mark Olfson of the New York State Psychiatric Institute and Columbia University, the author of a recent Health Affairs article on the subject, discussed the research examining the extent to which these offsets can be realized.
Dr. Olfson presented findings from a number of studies that did show reductions in other health care expenditures after the initiative of specific MH/SA interventions.
In the subsequent discussions, the focus was broadened to include the impact of MH/SA treatment on a broader array of costs, including productivity/work days lost (from an employer perspective), other public program costs, and societal costs associated with substance abuse-related criminal activity.

Legends of Lost Treasures Pennsylvania (M)
McKean county, Pennsylvania: Le Marquis de Vaudrevil, the French Royal Governor in America in 1749, assigned Chabert Joincaire to construct 40 outposts the entire length of the Allegheny Valley from Pittsburg to Renovo. Near every one of these locations, he buried an iron chest filled with gold and silver coins. The two men were returned to France in 1756 and convicted of crimes against the crown and the outposts were abandoned, the chests of treasure never recovered. The search area extends from Pittsburgh Northward to Olean, New York, then Southward through Potter county to Renovo, along the old Boone Road.
McKean county, Pennsylvania: In the early 1900's, a vast counterfeit operation headed by Cyrus Cole was run in the Eldred area. He spent most of his time in the Pennsy Marshes N of the town and was finally arrested in 1913 when one of his "agents" blew the whistle on him. The authorities, however, were unable to find neither his "factory" nor the hoard of genuine money he was known to have accumulated. The dies, molds and counterfeit and genuine gold and silver coins remain buried or hidden somewhere in the swamp, possibly on one of the knolls, or in the mountains to the E of Eldred where he frequently visited. The mountains at the time were filled with oil pumping jacks and old abandoned shacks and the hiding places were numerous.
McKean county, Pennsylvania: Around 1900, a lone bandit robbed a bank at Emporium taking $50,000 in gold coins and currency. As he fled to the NW into McKean County, he buried the money in several glass jars under a bridge. He was captured, became ill and died before he could recover the loot.
McKean county, Pennsylvania: In the 1860's, the old stagecoach road followed present-day hwy. 6 near Hazel Hurst. The most famous hotel and inn along the route was the Halfway House, just off the hwy. above Hazel Hurst, built by Joseph Barnes in 1859. Business grew and he prospered, accumulating a large quantity of gold coins. Lucy Barnes didn't trust banks and was often seen heading for the mountainsides with a jug under her arm. She died suddenly in 1866 without telling the family exactly where the jugs of coins were secreted.
McKean county, Pennsylvania: A Spanish treasure ship sank off the Bahamas in 1680. In the early 1800's, the British Captain Blackbeard (no relation to the notorious pirate Edward Teach) found the wreck and recovered several tons of silver bars worth more than $1 ½ million. He sailed into Baltimore with the intentions of having the treasure shipped to London, but he encountered a French privateer named Karthaus who was very interested in his cargo. Rather than risk losing the hoard, Blackbeard loaded the hoard onto 6 wagons and headed overland hoping to eventually reach a port in Canada. As he reached Renovo, the party learned that the War of 1812 had erupted so the convoy proceeded past Emporium and buried the silver in the mountains to avoid having the treasure fall into enemy hands. Blackbeard sent Colonel Noah Parker to guard the store of silver. Parker later built a huge mansion and mausoleum near the RR line running between Harrisburg and Buffalo and supposedly completed his task of keeping intruders away from the area until his death in 1894. The huge store of silver has never been recovered and remains buried near Silvermine Run above Emporium and about 5 miles W of Gardeau in a salt lick in a narrow trench. Some sources place the location of Blackbeard's silver in the mountains along the McKean-Potter county lines, about midway between Keating Summit and Gardeau.
Mifflin County, Pennsylvania: Fort Granville about 4 miles WSW Lewistown, founded in 1755, the French and Indians destroyed the fort in 1756. A cache of currency, known as the Fracker Treasure, is reportedly buried in the vicinity of Lewistown. Further details of this treasure are unavailable.
Mifflin county, Pennsylvania: 1. The outlaw David Lewis hides his saddlebag containing $10,000 in gold coins behind a rock on the banks of the Juniata River to the S of Lewistown. When he returned to retrieve the cache, high waters had obliterated his markings and he was unable to find it.
Monroe county, Pennsylvania: A copper strongbox containing $30,000 in gold coins was being transported by the Pennsylvania RR paymaster via canoe through the flood-ravaged Delaware Water Gap around 1915 when he became violently ill. He rowed ashore and buried the chest near a cliff, "somewhere on the left bank of the river downstream of the bridge, near the far end of the gap." He managed to make his way to the RR camp suffering from extreme exhaustion where he told his story, then suffered a heart attack and died.
Montgomery county, Pennsylvania: The Black Horse Tavern was located on the road from Philadelphia to Valley Forge. It was a notorious hangout for Tories and outlaws in the 1770's and many travelers were robbed and killed here. There are numerous stories of buried coins and silver plate in this immediate vicinity. The Doane outlaw gang was a notorious family of Tories during the days of the Revolution who are known to have buried a number of caches of treasure and valuables in SE Pennsylvania before being captured or killed. One of these un-recovered treasures, a large cache of silver coins, remains buried on the Schuykill River outside colonial Philadelphia along the rock wall of an old potter's field graveyard.
