- Description
Kathy McCoy tells the tale of a county older than the state. What you hold in your hands is not just another book, but in fact, a colorful tour through the history of one of the South's most storied counties, Monroe County, which originally covered roughly one-half of the entire state, and thereby a claimant to motherhood of a number of counties which followed.
To hear Kathy McCoy tell her story, you'll have to agree to its truth. Her tedious and extensive research has borne the fruit of facts which dispel previous myths and legends.
So, come take a ride with Kathy as you travel with her and early settlers down the Old Federal Road to the thriving inland community of Burnt Corn, on the Eastern edge of the County, with the Alabama River to the river-port town of old Claiborne on the West side.
Mount a horse alongside Gen. Andrew Jackson as he leads Federal troops from Fort Claiborne to defeat the Creek Indian Nation that has homesteaded these lands form the beginning.
Sit-in at the treaty council after the conclusive Battle of Horseshoe Bend and sense the emotions of William Weatherford, the half-breed fondly called "Red Eagle," who chose to fight in defense of his Indian brothers and lost.
Visit with the new settlers and endure the hardships of these hearty pioneers as they literally carved new lives in new territories and made time for their voices to be known and respected in affairs of State.
Thrill at the send-off rallies of the volunteers as they proudly marched off to join troops for the Confederacy, fully confident that one Southern country boy could easily whip twenty city-bred Northerners. Then, weep with them in their despair when they taste defeat, never because of a lack of valor, just overwhelmed by superior weaponry and numbers of both men and supplies.
Finally, experience inside the harsh realities of one of the most cruel reconstruction eras in all of history. A period following the end of the Civil War that lasted twelve long, brutal years, in which the Yankee boot was placed firmly on the necks of the South with the full intentions for making them pay dearly for their misdeeds. Believe me, you will cringe as Kathy bluntly tells it like it was, for their suffering physically, mentally, and economically, and because their pride and self respect was injured beyond recovery.
Perhaps the late A. V. "Shorty" Culpepper, former journalist for the county newspaper The Monroe Journal offered the best explanation of the history when he said, "When the white man first came into the lands of the Indians, he found a lifestyle where the men hunted and fished every day while the women performed all of the work in the villages. The white man was foolish enough to think that he could improve on that lifestyle."

- Check out the history of "one of the South's most storied counties!"
Kathy McCoy's Crossroads tells the history of Monroe County—a county "older than the state" (Alabama became a state in 1819, Monroe was established as a county by European Americans in 1815).The history of the home of the literary capital of Alabama does not disappoint, and was filled with rich stories even before it produced great storytellers.
McCoy herself is an experienced historian and storyteller, having written a history of Monroeville and a biography of historic figure Captain Thomas Mercer Riley. She's good at blending anecdotes, facts, letters and images to piece together an engaging, historically accurate tale.
Crossroads doesn't disappoint—it's a great read for school, for study or for fun. It's for the serious history lover, the Southern history enthusiast or the traveller looking to pass the time.
McCoy begins with the first inhabitants of Monroe County, the Native Americans, and discusses their struggles and fall from power at the hands of white men. She moves on to the Civil War and ends with Reconstruction. Her stories are filled with interesting facts, but they're also populated with real people, and their strife, pain, struggles, victories, defeats and passions.
This history of "one of the South's most storied counties" is definitely worth a read!
- An Excellent and Easily Read Resource
For history buffs, especially those who grew up with a fondness of the Deep South, Crossroads, by Kathy McCoy , offers up some compelling content that not only makes a great resource, but a good read. Educators and historians will be pleased with the book, rich in information, well organized, and easy for even young readers to understand.
Kathy speaks knowledgably about the original inhabitants of Monroe County, AL, the Creek ,and then goes on to weave a narrative about the inhabitants that come and go throughout the history of the area, finishing her work with the regaling of tales from twelve years of Southern Reconstruction, the result of War Between the States.
The stories are peppered with names that history aficionados will know: DeSoto, Andrew Jackson, and others play critical roles in South Alabama's history. There are also mentions of lesser known figures that played important roles in what the region has become today: William Weatherford, the Marshall and Johnson families, and others make appearances-- and we learn more about the real lives that shaped the communities both then and now.
McCoy's work is worthwhile for historians, and overall, gives us some thoughtful insight about the relationships and dynamics of Monroe County throughout the ages—making it an excellent resource for those who hold Monroe County close to their hearts, and all of those who will certainly be better informed about the place once they've read this work.

Ask an Eye Doctor and Get an Answer ASAP
Hello and thanks for your question. Are you available to chat?
While I think ice is fine for the eye as that will help the swelling, I definitely think you need to be evaluated by a physician for head trauma, which will likely include (and should) a head CT. You have all the makings of a possible concussion and when your symptoms are getting worse, rather than better after head trauma, you have to know whether there is bleeding going on inside the head. To that end, I would not delay being seen by a doctor. Does that make sense?
While dizziness can be normal 4 days after head trauma, the dizziness, head pain, periocular swelling should be getting better, and not worse. This suggests that it's possible that there is bleeding inside the head, but ultimately the only way to know for sure is to get a CT scan, although sometimes a spinal tap (lumbar puncture) can demonstrate bleeding inside the head (although this is a more invasive procedure not usually done to demonstrate bleeding inside the head). I think what you need to convey to the hospital is that you have had head trauma and amnesia associated with it (a concussion) and have symptoms that are getting worse and that you are worried for bleeding in the head--I would hope that if the doctor felt it were medically necessary after having examined you that they would order a CT of the head to assess for bleeding, but that's what I would order if I were seeing you.
Does that make sense?
When you have a concussion, it is normal to have a period around the incident that you don't remember. I don't suspect that the rain has anything significant to do with your symptoms being worse. If you have bleeding inside the head, it has to stop on it's own, but it's important to know if you are bleeding in the head because if the pressure inside the head gets too great, it can lead to serious medical problems, including stroke or worse--and something at least can be done about. Does that make sense?
Please help me get credit for my efforts in answering your questions and press the ACCEPT button for this encounter; this allows part of the funds that you have deposited to the website to be released for my efforts to assist you. This does not end our conversation, however-we can continue to discuss any of your concerns without further charges until you are satisfied.
Any positive feedback and/or bonus you may feel prompted to provide would be welcomed and is appreciated. There will be an opportunity to provide either or both of these after you press the ACCEPT button. Thanks for your inquiry!
My opinion is solely informative and does not constitute a formal medical opinion or recommendation. For a formal medical opinion and/or recommendation you must see an eye doctor.
Do you have any other concerns or questions about this topic?
What can I do to help satisfy you? What are your concerns?
I'm more than willing to further assess your situation and keep working with you to help you resolve your concerns, but I can't do so unless you help communicate them to me.
I'm sorry that you believe I cut you off. It was not my intent. On my end it appeared that you left our chat. As far as wanting credits, while I am a doctor and want what's best for you, I don't provide this service all day long out of the goodness of my heart solely. Because I give of my time and expertise, I think it only fair that I am compensated for doing so. However, you are entirely within your right to seek another opinion from someone else. Just because I would like to be compensated for my time, efforts, and expertise, does not make me a bad person, nor does it make me a bad doctor. I am actually an exceptional physician who always puts the needs of my patients first. In your situation, I have a significant worry for your outcome and as such tried to convey to you that I think it is an urgent thing to have your head evaluated and exactly what I thought needed to be looked for. I hope you are successful in finding someone to give you professional medical advice who is more magnanimous than I am.

In last month's Nutritionist e-Network, we summarized a research experiment from Israel that showed the effectiveness of live yeast supplementation in warm weather. The experiment was originally published in the January 2009 Journal of Dairy Science.
We did not know at that time that another study was about to appear in the March 2009 edition of the Journal of Dairy Science. That study, conducted by researchers at the University of Arizona, found no benefit from a yeast culture under climate-controlled heat-stress conditions. The Arizona researchers used a "novel yeast culture formulation" or proprietary blend of two active yeast strains, cobalt chloride and a vitamin mix containing biotin and niacin. The Israeli researchers used the live yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. So, there were some key differences between the studies in terms of the type of yeast used. And, cows in the Arizona study were subjected to severe heat stress, with body temperature readings approaching 105 degrees F. The Israeli researchers did not report ambient temperature or body temperature readings; they simply referred to the use of live yeast supplementation during the hot season in Israel. Obviously, the jury is still out when it comes to yeast culture and heat stress.

Of the plantings this season, approximately 1,800 hectares were planted under certain sales incentive programs and promotions, whereby the company has either deferred revenue until the completion of the 2012-2013 sweet sorghum harvest season, or expects to generate revenue through agronomy services or biomass sales. The remaining hectares, which were not enrolled in incentive programs, consisted of seed sales that were recognized as revenue upon delivery and planting as well as complimentary trial seed. The majority of seed deliveries and plantings in Brazil occurred in the fiscal second quarter.Cost of product sales was relatively flat at $0.7 million for the quarter ended November 30, 2012 compared to $0.8 million for the same period last year. Cost of product sales during this comparative period primarily related to the company's U.S. operations. Research and development expenses decreased by $1.0 million to $4.3 million in the quarter ended November 30, 2012 compared to the same period last year due primarily to reduced R&D personnel and related expenses as well as lower external R&D expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $3.8 million in the quarter ended November 30, 2012 compared to $2.8 million for the same period last year. The increase was primarily attributable to increased personnel expenses in the U.S. as well as an increase in Brazil expenses due to an increase in business operations and market development support. For the quarter ended November 30, 2012, Ceres reported a net loss of $6.9 million, or $0.28 per share, compared to a net loss of $7.5 million, or $3.73 per share, for the quarter ended November 30, 2011. Shares used in the calculation of net loss per share (basic and diluted) were 24,693,303 and 2,018,939 for the quarters ended November 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. At November 30, 2012, Ceres had cash and cash equivalents of $14.4 million and marketable securities of $38.8 million.

A maths whizz kid who beat 1.2 million children in a mental maths competition last year will fight for the title again tomorrow.
Vihangi Rajapakse, who is eight years old, came second in last year's mental maths quiz, which is part of World Maths Day.
The maths fan, from Salcombe Prepatory School in Chase Side, Southgate, will fight to win the mental maths competition tomorrow in a bid to win this year's title.
The young girl, who is also an avid fan of netball and classical music, is one of two ambassadors in the UK for the annual event, which aims to promote the maths day to her peers.
The presenter of Channel Four's Countdown, Rachel Riley, will also take a trip to the school for the second year in a row to show her support to the girl, but also to her Year 3-6 peers who will all take part.
The students will progress through five levels of difficulty in mental maths, earning one point for every correct answer.
Balloons will be displayed in the school and maths t-shirts have been created by the school to get the kids in the spirit of the two-hour event.
The primary school children will also take part in a game based on Countdown which will call for the children to reach a target from six numbers using maths skills.
Vihangi's teacher and the head of maths at the school, Simona Tudoran, said: "Vihangi has been practising so hard for the competition.
"She can answer 95 mental maths questions in one minute so she is definitely ready for it."
The event, which is part of World Maths Day on March 7, is the world's largest education event.

THE door opens and out he comes. And at once there's a battalion of reporters around him. He's in a different world now, almost not for this world, but somewhere out there in the ether. Unworldy.
It's Shane O'Donnell, or as some will call him for the rest of his days, it's 'Three-Three' or 'Three Goals and Three Points'.
The man. The Boy Wonder. Move over Laois footballer Tommy Murphy, that name belongs to the Townie now. Clare's most famous All-Ireland scorer of them all; Clare's most famous match-winner of them all.
We'll always pay homage to Eamonn Taaffe for his flash of the ash in '95; same way King Jamesie O'Connor's point two years later will never grow old, but it's Shane O'Donnell now.
It's his time. It's O'Donnell Abú; it's O'Donnell Abú for all time.
"I was lucky enough to get on the pitch," he says.
"The lads gave me the ball, handed them on a plate for me to score goals. I'm not good at scoring points and I decided I was going to go for goals. I have it my mind that I'll for for goals.
"You can't describe it. You literally dream of that from when you're a kid. Going up to the Hill – there's always a delay from when it hits the net and when they roar, it's absolutely amazing.
"If I had a dream last night that I was going to score 3-3, I'd have woken up and said that's ridiculous. I'd have been happy with one. It's the stuff of dreams, since I was five or six when I picked up a hurley."
All this after he only learned of his place on the first 15 barely three hours previously.
"We were in St Patrick's College getting food," he reveals, "and Davy brought me aside and said 'we decided to start you instead of Darach today'. He just said to me 'do as you always do, go for goals'.
"The last few weeks in training have been good to me. The week before the 21 match and from then I've been going well. You just hit a patch of form and I got it at the right time and I got put on.
"I get very nervous before matches and in hindsight it made it easier being told late (it was 2.50pm before he knew) because I slept great last night and got up this morning and said 'I can't wait for my chance to get on'. Then when I was told, I wasn't too nervous about it. It was just excited to get out there."
And the goals?
"A year or two ago I'd be very bad – I'd get a goal or two and I'd be delighted with that and I'd end the game and thinking I could have got way more. I just kept thinking that this game isn't over and especially the way Cork were fighting back. Cork were always going to come back at us and they did. We really had to get back on the bike and go again."
And his favourite goal?
"I have to say the third because the other two were absolutely put on a plate for me. I did absolutely nothing – two steps and put them in the far corner, but if I had to pick a goal it was Conor McGrath's, it topped all of mine easily. It was brilliant."
With that O'Donnell was finally prized away, not before revealing some of his plans for the week.
The celebrations, of course, but also making it back to University College Cork where he's a second year genetics student.
Genetics, the foclóir tells us is "the science of genes in living organisms".
He certainly has hurling in his genes. Goalscoring in his genes and points scoring too.
It's why he's called 'Three Goals and Three Points'.

IT is not much bigger than a hefty hardback book – but a defibrillator carries the power to help save a life.
The Argus has teamed up with the family of Oakdale teenager Jack Thomas to encourage our readers to raise money to provide each secondary school in Gwent with a defibrillator.
Jack, 15, died suddenly two years ago, and his parents Grant and June have since raised more than £20,000 through a charity set up in their son's memory, toward getting heart screenings into schools.
Now they would like all secondary schools to have a defibrillator on site, so pupils, staff or others using school buildings for community purposes might benefit if a sudden cardiac arrest occurs.
So, what does a defibrillator do?
Defibrillators, also called AEDs (automated external defibrillators), are machines that deliver an electric shock to the heart when someone is having a cardiac arrest.
There are different models, but they all work in basically the same way. In most models, pre-recorded spoken instructions direct users how to apply the accompanying pads through which an electric charge is delivered to shock the heart back into an effective rhythm.
Organisations such as St John Wales provide training and demonstrations of how to use a defibrillator, the latter as part of first aid at work courses.
"The prospect of using an AED might seem daunting but we teach our volunteers as young as 16 how to use them. They really are incredibly simple to use, most modern systems tell you exactly what to do and they won't let you shock a person with a pulse, so they are quite safe," said St John Wales director of training Jon Phillips.
"We would encourage any school or public place to invest in an AED and learn how to use it confidently." Sharon Owen, fundraising director at cardiac charity Welsh Hearts, which is backing Jack's Appeal, is trained to use a defibrillator.
"It's so easy. I went through my training with the Welsh Ambulance Services NHS Trust, which provides courses through Welsh Hearts for anyone who needs them," she said.
"Once you've learned to use a defibrillator you will never forget how, and it is knowledge that could help save someone's life."
Delyth Lloyd, policy and advocacy manager at British Heart Foundation Cymru said that for someone in cardiac arrest every minute counts, and a 999 call, followed by immediate lifesaving skills and defibrillation are vital.
"We need to create a nation of lifesavers by teaching every schoolchild in Wales emergency life-saving skills as well as making defibrillators available in busy public places."
l Anyone wishing to make a simple donation, or carrying out a fundraising event, in aid of Jack's Appeal can send cheques made payable to Welsh Hearts, to its headquarters at Temple Court, 13a Cathedral Road, Cardiff, CF11 9HA, or to Newsdesk, South Wales Argus, Cardiff Road, Newport, NP20 3QN.
Please write 'Jack Thomas defibs appeal' on the back of the envelope.

Voters say 'no' to bond
Joe Warner
Jim Budziak of Grosse Pointe Park enters his ballot into the machine to cast his vote on the $50.2 million bond issue for Grosse Pointe Public School System.
photo by Renee Landuyt
February 27, 2014
THE GROSSE POINTES — The $50.2 million bond proposal for the Grosse Pointe Public School System failed in all five Pointes and Harper Woods by large margins.
The 10-year proposal dubbed the tech bond was defeated 8,486 to 2,343.
It sends a clear message to a board of education and administration to go back to the drawing board.
"The voters have spoken," said board of education president Joan Dindoffer, declining to comment whether another proposal would be brought before voters. "We will have to analyze the vote and see where we go from here. We need to understand what the voters want."
It was obvious the voters didn't want what was presented.
The measure failed in Grosse Pointe Woods, 1,250 yes to 2,786 no; in Grosse Pointe Park, 856 to 1,872; in Grosse Pointe Farms, 859 to 2,020; in the City of Grosse Pointe, 397 to 1,060; in Grosse Pointe Shores, 153 to 583 and in Harper Woods, 96 to 165.
The ballot asked for the money to remodel, equip, furnish, reequip and refurnish existing district buildings, including security, media center, computer lab, classroom and technology infrastructure improvements and to acquire and instal instructional technology equipment.
The 10-year proposal and the tax implications were simply too much for some.
In an e-mail Tuesday night to the Grosse Pointe News, Jenny Greenwell wrote, "Taxpayers are disgusted and angry. We must demand that all elections be held in even year Novembers only. No more stealth elections in Grosse Pointe."
On the other side, two supporters, part of the GPTechYes committee, offered their thoughts.
"Obviously we are very disappointed," said Allison Banker of Grosse Pointe Park. "But we feel confident the board will come up with a plan that will be acceptable to voters. As a district, we do not want to be left in the dust. We will see what it will take to get people to vote yes."
Committee co-chair George McMullen of Grosse Pointe Woods echoed Baker's thoughts.
"I'm very disappointed the voters could not see this was a necessary investment in our schools and in our community. We will be meeting to assist the administration and the board in developing a new plan that we can take to the voters."
Superintendent Tom Harwood could not be reached for comment Tuesday night. A follow-up will be published in next week's Grosse Pointe News.
The deadline for letters to the editor is 3 p.m. Monday for the next issue.

British actor Tom Ellis heads to USA on Thursday night, fronting "Rush," the story of a rogue doctor in Los Angeles. And while it's the actor's biggest stateside role to date, he's not feeling the pressure that goes with fronting a show.
"I feel very privileged to be where I am right now," Tom told AccessHollywood.com, after USA flew us up to the show's Vancouver set late last month, where they made us their guests. "It's nice to be able to set the tone on set. ... I enjoy working and I think we're very lucky to be doing what we're doing, and I think if you're not having fun then there's no point doing it. So it's nice to kind of set that tone and have the responsibility and hopefully that kind of peters through."
In the show's opening sequence, Tom's character, William P. Rush, is having a little illegal fun with a blond lady friend when their white party ends up giving her a heart attack. Rush revives her and quickly deposits her in an emergency room, fleeing the scene shortly thereafter.

"Any character you play, I think you have to find some empathy or some sympathy towards that character as to why they are the way they are and why they do what they do, not to excuse them, but to understand why they make those choices," Tom told a reporter on the set visit. "For me, when I read the pilot script, I kind of fell in love with him a little bit. I understood him and I understood the way he communicates in life. He uses a lot of humor, but also, like a lot of people who use humor in life, it's kind of a mask for covering up tears of a clown."
William Rush is set up in the USA show as a gifted physician who privately treats patients who can pay his hefty fee, and available at their beck and call. Outside of his job, he could stand to be a better friend to people like his medical school chum Dr. Alex Burke (Larenz Tate), his ex-girlfriend, Sarah (Odette Annable) and his assistant Eve (Sarah Habel).

"None of his choices that he makes are to hurt people, they're just the choices that he makes because he is at a very selfish point in his life," Tom told reporters. "I think the medication that he takes for himself helps him sort of aquaplane through life. He's kind of quite of happy being [a little bit] above the surface. Any time he touches [it], that's when it kind of resonates with him and he has to think about things and consequences of things. ... He's a good guy, he just makes some bad choices."
One of his forgivable bad choices could be Rush's taste in music, which extends to '80s Debbie Gibson and plenty of other songs that he gleefully bops along to on some of the show's driving scenes.
"Music is a big part of my life. My mum was a music teacher and I've grown up around music and listening to music and I have very eclectic musical taste, shall we say," Tom said, when Access asked about his own influence on the show's tunes.
"The way that music sets the tone for me is very important, so that gave me a clue as to what his taste was and I talked with Jonathan [Levine, 'Rush's' Executive Producer] and Jonathan said, 'Yeah, that's great, that's awesome, just know that Rush has terrible taste in music,'" Tom recounted. "I was like, 'Great! So do I!' And it basically opened up a world of guilty pleasures."

Eddie Murphy told David Letterman on "The Late Show" that he won't be doing any singing and dancing when he hosts the Oscars next year.
"That was the one thing when we first talked about this," the "Tower Heist" star said. "The first thing that came out of my mouth was, 'I'm not doing one of those crazy dance numbers.'"

THE accolades continue for Jerrabomberra Public School student Angus Primrose who recently won the national Young Australian Art Award in the computer art section.
Angus impressed the judges with his work titled "Aircraft Hangar" inspired by the film, The Adventures of Tin Tin.
"There's soldiers having a battle, a crane in the back and Tin Tin and his dog," Angus explained.
"There's also the aeroplane Tin Tin crashed into."Angus' mother, artist and owner of FORM Studio and Gallery, Claire said art is just one of the kindergarten student's hobbies. He also enjoys little athletics and drums.
"This was a quick line drawing, just a few minutes ... we scanned it into Photoshop and filled in the colours using the paint bucket tool," Claire said.
"Angus decided to use army colours.
"The six-year-old has won a trip to Melbourne for his family and a trophy."We were thrilled [when Angus won], really happy," Claire said.
"It's an honour."
It tops off a stellar year for Angus, who was also the joint recipient of the 2012 Queanbeyan City Council's Regional Art Award "highly commended" category with older brother, Oliver.

Republican and Lesbian, and Fighting for Acceptance of Both Identities
The New York Times:
In 1996, Kathryn Lehman was a soon-to-be married lawyer working for Republicans in the House of Representatives. One of her major accomplishments: helping to write the law that bans federal recognition of same-sex marriages.
Today, Ms. Lehman, 53, no longer has a husband, and no longer identifies as straight. And she is a lobbyist for Freedom to Marry, which is devoted to overturning the very law she helped write, the Defense of Marriage Act.
But Ms. Lehman is still a fervent Republican.
"I'm trying to break the stereotype that all gays and lesbians, especially lesbians, are Democrats," she said.
Although the Republican Party has long drawn gay men who believe in the party's message of small government and a strong military, Republican lesbians are a rare political breed.
"Oh, we're like unicorns," said Erin Simpson, 51, who cites "personal liberty" as a fundamental value and teaches firearms safety in Tucson. Ms. Simpson, who came out in February, was "very disheartened" by Mitt Romney's loss — one fueled, in part, by overwhelming gay support for President Obama.

I (Kari Northup) went to the cemetery in Dec. 1998 and took a picture of their headstone - they are buried together and their is a note in the cemetery records that Howard Sherman's grave was moved from a different location in the cemetery at some point so assume it was done so that Nellie could be buried beside him.
Buried in McPherson cemetery in McPherson, KS. Last name on tombstone is listed as Goodwin, although Sarah Dye writes that she is sure her name at birth was Goodin.

The saddest of sad news: we've lost Miss Smith
With the sudden death of Jann Smith of cardiac arrest early this morning, at age 62, the Edmonton's theatre community was reeling today with the shocking realization that we've lost something of our heart and soul – and a great deal of our memory as well.
The phrase "unsung hero" has ricocheted through this theatre town all day. And, from Toronto, where he's holding auditions, the Citadel's artistic director Bob Baker used it, too, to describe his fiercely loyal friend and colleague of more than three decades. On paper Jann was the Citadel's "administrator of the Citadel's marketing department.' ' But that official title doesn't begin to encompass the breadth and depth of her theatre knowledge and experience, and the sheer variety of backstage tasks she quietly undertook for a theatre – many theatres, in truth – and an art form that is nothing if not labour-intensive.
Jann, who arrived in Edmonton from Ponoka, was never on a stage herself. She'd have hooted at the mere notion of that, although that friendly voice in the dark that was the overture to Citadel shows, asking us to turn out beepers and cellphones off and Enjoy The Show! was hers. No, Jann's work was behind the scenes. The Citadel program, with its array of actors' biographies? A Jann task. The accounting that went into marketing budgets? Jann's work. The arranging of opening night tickets, with all the attendant aggro with the whining media? That was Jann's, too. "So many things she did that she wasn't asked to," says Cheryl Hoover, the Citadel's director of production. "I can imagine us next week saying 'who did that? Or that? And the answer will always be … Jann."
Baker, for his part, has known Jann since his earliest moments at the late lamented Phoenix Theatre. "She was half my staff when I came back to Edmonton in 1982," he says of the stagestruck fan who'd originally arrived in town a total theatre novice, and landed a job as an accountant at the Phoenix predecessor, Theatre 3. In their time together at Phoenix, Jann told Hoover, the stage manager there, that "she'd gone to the theatre to apply for a bookkeeping position, and someone lying on the floor with a bad back said, without looking up, 'you're hired!'."
A theatre devote was born in that inauspicious moment. And in her life's work, recognized by the Margaret Mooney Sterling Award in administration, she grew into one of theatre's most tireless, passionate, and opinionated, champions. "She had no patience for mediocrity and for people who didn't care enough," says Baker. "Nine-to-fivers drove her nuts…. Not everyone on the administrative side of theatre has Jann's understanding, her appreciation, her enthusiasm for the art…. The first reading of a play was her favourite thing ever! Her second favourite was watching the dress rehearsal…. I'd be in despair, 'it's not ready!'. But even if Tom (actor/director Tom Wood) and I got home at 1 in the morning, there would always, always be a message from Jann saying 'it's going to be fantastic! It'll be in great shape by opening night'. It was so encouraging…. She loved loved loved the theatre!"
Not that Jann was a groupie of the gusher persuasion. As I well know (having used the word "beguiling" in print far too many times for her taste), she was a woman of tart, dry wit and strong opinions. Baker, who's been on the receiving end of the latter for 31 years, knows all about that, too. "She was critical, oh yes, but never cynical." Just to get his dander up, she'd ask him why he would even consider doing Romeo and Juliet. "Why write a play about stupid kids who give up and kill themselves? Why put it on? Sheeesh, they should just get over it!"
She'd often try to get me going by insisting she hated plays with intermissions. Isn't that a bit hard on Shakespeare? I'd protest feebly. "He should have shortened his stuff," declared Jann, without missing a beat. "He needed another draft." Jann's longtime friend Troy Funk, the Citadel publicist before he joined cultural operations in St. Albert, heard that, too. "She called it 'forensic dramaturgy'," he says. "She loved to say 'I could take 20 minutes off that show!'."
"She was the smartest person in the room often, and the most experienced most of the time," says Baker. "A big heart and strong opinions…." He sighs. "I owe her so much money. By dress rehearsal every show, I'd be thinking 'my gawd, this is awful, we're going to get killed, betcha 50 bucks'. And Jann would say 'no no no'. The next morning after opening she'd be saying 'so you owe me another 50 bucks."
"She loved every aspect of theatre," Funk says of his friend. "She loved actors and what they do onstage. She loved the craft of theatre…. It was an absolute unconditional love. She respected people – shows she's love or hate, but she was always supportive of the (theatre) people. She was one of invaluable links, in a community, a silent partner in the background who knew everybody, every artisan, artist, sponsor, technician, media person, board member." Jann, he says, was "one of those rare people who knows the business through and through: the shows, and the money stuff…."
"She was the history of the theatre community," says Hoover, who notes that Jann did the books for Teatro La Quindicina from time to time, and many favours for other little companies. "She was our living memory," says Brenda O'Donnell, the manager of the Phoenix when Jann was the bookkeeper there. Later they were colleagues at the Citadel. "She was balanced, the voice of reason." And, says O'Donnell, she "understood the collaborative nature of theatre…. She sat through so many rehearsals. And she'd see a show two, three, four times after opening. She loved the nuances; she knew good acting from bad."
During successive regimes in her 25 years at the Citadel, Jann linked, as well, the big brick playhouse with all the other smaller companies in this theatre town. That relationship has often been fraught. But Jann was the human face of the big-boy institution: warm, courteous, funny. Funk calls her "an ambassador for the Citadel."
Ah, funny. We'll all miss the wicked Miss Smith sense of humour, with its natural instinct for calling a spade by its proper name. Her exasperation and straight talk constituted a kind of persona, I think, which could camouflage but never conceal her love for theatre, no matter how maddening and inconsiderate its bureaucrats and practitioners. "You could fill a book with funny Jann stories," says Funk. "She had such a sensitive bullshit detector," says O'Donnell, who's now the executive director of the Arts Touring Alliance of Alberta. "I really admired that in her. Baker agrees. "She could spot divas in a second, people who were selfish were on her radar. She'd form an opinion and stick to it…."
For as far back as I can remember in our friendship, which goes back to the Phoenix days, I've called her Auntie Jann. Is it because she represents a kind of theatre family, and always knew how to do stuff? Maybe. As O'Donnell says, "it was in her nature to form lifelong friendships." Or maybe it just sounded silly, and amused us. That's a possibility, too. When Hoover visited Jann in the hospital earlier this week, where she was preparing to undergo treatment for hodgkin's lymphoma, she asked her "do you like your doctor?" Answer: "he's 12." Typical Auntie Jann.
"She believed in talent," says Baker. "She devoted her life to it. And she had creative energy of her own…. Quite a life force really, a force of nature. It's going to take me a long while to get (the loss) in my head." We all know exactly what he means.

(CBS) It's not every man that has Victoria's Secret model Anne Vyalitsyna to help him with a prostate exam, but Maroon 5 singer Adam Levine isn't complaining and British Cosmopolitan has the naked photos to prove it.
"I spend most of my life naked," Adam told the magazine. "In fact, I often have to be told by the people around me that it's inappropriate to be as naked as I am. But I live in California, where it's always warm, so why not?"
This time, Levine left his clothes at home to promote awareness for prostate and testicular cancers. Girlfriend Vyalitsyna provided a strategically placed pair of hands, although, yes, we admit, she did not actually assist in any prostate exam.
The project was done in collaboration with Everyman, a British organization that fights prostate and testicular cancers.
There are 217,000 new prostate cancer diagnoses in America each year, which claim 32,000 lives, according to the American Cancer Society. Rates of testicular cancer are less.

We like the Rays because they are ours. But there's more to it than that. These are good guys. Not a bad apple in the bunch, and there's something unique to like about each guy. Here are the Rays and why we like each of them so much.
cover edition
Carl Crawford: Because he lived through the train wreck of losing season after losing season and didn't whine, sulk or ask to be traded.
Evan Longoria: Because 23-year-old rookies aren't supposed to be this good, what with 27 homers, 85 RBIs and two dingers in his very first two postseason at-bats.
Carlos Pena: Truly one of the nicest people on earth, and how can you not love that goofy dance before every game?
Akinori Iwamura: Say you up and moved to Japan tomorrow. Do you think you would fit in as well as Aki has here?
Dioner Navarro: Because he saved Matt Garza's season by getting in his face in Chicago this year.
Matt Garza: Because he saved his season after Navarro got in his face in Chicago this year. (Plus, after Game 7 of the ALCS, this guy is in our cool book pretty much forever.)
B.J. Upton: Sometimes we sigh when it looks like he isn't hustling, but no denying he has shown up in the postseason and he really is a good man.
James Shields: Two words — Coco Crisp.
Grant Balfour: Because the guy is a mix between Crocodile Dundee and that Dennis Hopper character in Blue Velvet.
Scott Kazmir: Because he still looks like your teenage brother even though he's a 24-year-old flame-thrower.
Jason Bartlett: Because he has made us forget all about Delmon Young.
Willy Aybar: Because of that dead eyes look he has in the batter's box right before he drills a shot into the gap.
Ben Zobrist: Because there are good Mohawks and then there are Hall of Fame Mohawks, like the one Zobrist has.
Andy Sonnanstine: Because the only thing this guy does is win even though you swear you could hit him if you had the chance.
David Price: Because when we were 23 we could barely tuck in our shirt let alone save the last inning of the American League Championship Series.
J.P. Howell: Because he lost his spot in the rotation then went out and became the best reliever on the team.
Edwin Jackson: Because he cheered as hard as anyone even when he was left off the roster for the first-round series.
Trever Miller: Because he loves baseball, but he lives for his family.
Cliff Floyd: Because he's the anti-Delmon. A leader who cares more about the name on the front of the jersey than the back.
Dan Wheeler: Because he will pitch in any situation you ask and face it with no fear.
Chad Bradford: Because even when he tosses a can in the garbage he throws it underhanded.
Gabe Gross: Because's he's so secure in his faith that he has Blessed Be Your Name as his walkup music.
Rocco Baldelli: Our favorite because of all he has been through (on and off the field) and that his story appears to have a happy ending.
Fernando Perez: The dude went to Columbia. That's dope.
,Michel Hernandez: The journeyman backup catcher who nearly chucked it all to become an electrician is living a big-league dream.
Joe Maddon: The glasses. The vocabulary. The intellect. The wine. The bike. To paraphrase him, "Corny has become cool.''

Olio Theatre Works Presents INTIMATELY WILDE at Long Beach Playhouse, 1/11-27
Tickets are on sale now for Olio Theatre Works' timely drama INTIMATELY WILDE, directed by Gigi Fusco Meese and coming to the Long Beach Playhouse's Studio Theatre January 11th – 27, 2013 as a part of the 2nd Annual "People's Theatrical Collaborative".
Featuring a talented cast of actors from Southern California and New York City, INTIMATELY WILDE is a perfect solution for this season of giving. Gifts of tickets support local theatre artists and the furthering of new theatrical works in the community. Tickets are on sale on the Olio Theatre Works website; www.oliotheatreworks.org, or by calling the Long Beach Playhouse Box Office at: (562) 494-1014 and selecting Option 1.
INTIMATELY WILDE explores contemporary issues concerning art, equality and sexual politics through the unique lens of England's Victorian age. In the late 19th century, Oscar Wilde, famed poet and playwright, was the central figure in a turbulent love affair with the young and rebellious aristocrat Lord Alfred "Bosie" Douglas, and as a result was thrown into the center of three highly publicized trials during the height of the Victorian era in London.
For the first time since the Los Angeles Premiere in 2009, audiences can explore the passion, wit, struggle and earnestness of one man's journey to demand freedom of expression in the face of an oppressively conservative society. INTIMATELY WILDE offers a hauntingly contemporary voice of experience from an age when the cost of love was very often one's entire life.
Written by Olio Theatre Works Founder/Artistic Director Terra Taylor Knudson, the production is directed by Gigi Fusco Meese. It features Set Design by Timothy P. Thorn. Produced by Olio Theatre Works in association with the 2nd Annual " Peoples Theatrical Collaborative" of the Long Beach Playhouse. The cast includes: Alex DesCombes, Ryan Michael Harman, Derek Long, Pete Stone, Miguel Solorio, Terra Taylor Knudson and Timothy P. Thorn as "Oscar Wilde".
The show runs January 11 – 27, 2013, Fridays/Saturdays @ 8:00pm, Sundays @ 2:00pm. Tickets: $22 (Gen Admission). CALL: (562) 494-1014, option 1. Buy Online: http://lbplayhouse.org/box-office. Information: www.oliotheatreworks.org. Facebook: www.facebook.com/oliotheatreworks. Twitter: @TTKOTW.

A sinkhole-burdened reservoir project in Land O'Lakes has finished construction after quadrupling in cost and generating scrutiny by the County Commission.
The board quietly approved the finishing touches Tuesday on the 20-acre project, including a final change order that calls for spending $500,000 less than expected.
Pasco County utilities director Bruce Kennedy said the reservoir has been operating fine for four months — and sinkhole free. The last order is for maintenance equipment.
The cost of the reclaimed water reservoir near U.S. 41 and Ehren Cutoff started out a few years ago at less than $4-million, but ended at $21.8-million.
"We've got a great facility that's really working well for us," Kennedy said. "Yes, the subsurface issues ended up costing us more than what we thought."
As sinkholes in limestone caused collapses in mid 2007 in the walls and floor, a mammoth repair job was required, increasing the cost. It riled the County Commission, whose members questioned how the project went awry. A year ago, the board halted spending on the project and ordered a review to stanch the rising costs.
Built next to a Pasco County sewage plant, the reservoir is required by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection to fix environmental problems dating to overflows of untreated and treated sewage in 2003. That order carried up to a $1.8-million fine.
The agency ordered Pasco to build it to help remedy utility violations, notably by improving the capacity to store reclaimed water. That also caused the price to go up, but the project was still expected to cost $13-million in January 2007.
The cost is being paid with utility fees and $5.6-million from the Southwest Florida Water Management District, Kennedy and district spokeswoman Robyn Felix said. The final savings came from lower costs than expected to fortify the reservoir.
"Obviously, when you're dealing with an unknown and in their (project officials') words, an anomaly, it's hard to see what really lies ahead," Commissioner Ted Schrader said. He called the cost increases "unfortunate" but said the county ended up with a valuable product.
The county chose the site because it was publicly owned land, which made sense until the sinkholes showed up — after a protective liner had been rejected by contractors and the county, no less.
"You can't see everything down there," Kennedy said this week.
After the troubles, Kennedy said, Pasco has added more engineering reviews for another reservoir planned at a 140-acre former sand mine off Boyette Road in Wesley Chapel. That $22-million project has received three reviews, and Kennedy said no sinkhole issues have cropped up.
But another kind of money trouble has. The credit crunch has frozen plans to build it until the county can issue bonds to pay for it.

Rifle length
I googled it and it said the minimum barrel length is 16" but I don't think that is right. Can someone convince me otherwise? On the model1sales website I saw a 10.5" barreled AR15 and it said it was a "registered short barrel" and I saw a 14.5" and it wasn't a "registered short barrel" but if the limit was 16" wouldnt the 14.5" be a short barrel too?
Yup, 16" overall length on a rifle, 18" on a shotgun. I havnt the slightest idea of why there is a difference.
14 1/2" with fixed hider. or 200 dollars for paper work to the atf for a chance to own a short barreled rifle. Or a short barreled upper would be used on a pistol. Basicaly 16" is the lenght of a barrel with or with out a welded or pined flash hider.

Las Vegas - There were plenty of things to like in Utah's 74-70 defeat to the Philadelphia 76ers on Saturday night at the Thomas & Mack Center.
Utah defended well. Rookie guard Dante Exum was at times sensational in his summer league debut. Rudy Gobert looked like a legitimate NBA big man. Malcolm Thomas exhibited electric athleticism, shot-blocking and rebounding.
But there was plenty not to like as well. Point guard Trey Burke struggled to gain separation off the dribble, and generally didn't look very good overall. The Jazz couldn't shoot, going 4-18 from 3-point range, with many of the misses coming off open looks. Utah missed 10 free-throws. And the Jazz couldn't protect an eight point fourth quarter lead.

Did you stop 'round these parts hoping to find the solution to the great mystery posed in this headline? Friend, you're in luck.
Turns out, Joe Jonas made a boy cry. Specifically, a man stan by the name of Andy Hertfeld, who swarmed the JoBro hoping for a picture. (We know what you're thinking: "Wait?! You mean one of the original Apple computer geniuses is a total Jonatic?!" Easy mistake, but that's actually Andy Hertzfeld.)
Andy recounts the incident:
"The minute he saw us walking closer he threw (his cigarette) down. After we approached him, he shook his head no. It was late, which we understood, but my friend asked for a picture anyway. That's when Joe flipped out on us he said, 'We do so much for you. We do everything and you want a picture? Get out of here.'
Here's the kicker:
"He didn't even stop or look in our direction. The entire thing completely broke my heart."
Our hearts break for Mr. Hertfeld as well, but we're not ready to label Mr. Jonas a bully. (For one thing, his hair is just too pretty.) Everyone is allowed an off night, so, we're with you Jonatics: #StopHatingOnJoeJonas!

Londonistan Lives: Brits Release Terror Cleric Abu Qatada on Bail
For years, I've documented Great Britain's descent into PC-addled, post-Christian, Islamist madness. In 2010, I received a first-hand taste of it during a week-long stay in London in which I interviewed Anjem Choudary and other notorious Islamists, some Al Qaeda-linked (see the video I've embedded below), who are walking the streets of the British capital as free men--and in many cases, collecting generous welfare benefits from the state.
I actually dedicated an entire chapter of my book, The Terrorist Next Door, to my personal experiences in Britain and the general overall decline of that once proud nation. If there is a living, breathing symbol of that decline and weakness, other than Choudary, it has to be Abu Qatada.
Acknowledged as Al Qaeda's spiritual leader in Europe and a former confidante of Osama bin Laden, Qatada has been in and out of British custody for years, as leftist British judges refuse to deport him back to his native Jordan for fears he'll be tortured. Poor guy.
In the past, when he's been free, Qatada and his family have collected the obligatory (for jihadists) welfare benefits from the British government. Incredibly, it looks like Qatada and his brood may now be living on the government dole once again: and just in time for the 2012 London Olympics.
Or maybe it's really not so incredible--after all, this is Londonistan. Here's more, from The Telegraph:
It is simply not acceptable that Britain is unable to deport radical Muslim cleric Abu Qatada who "poses a serious risk to our national security", Home Secretary Theresa May said today.
Mrs May said she disagreed with a senior immigration judge's decision to bail Abu Qatada yesterday, which means he will be free and walking his child to school within a week.
"The right place for a terrorist is a prison cell; the right place for a foreign terrorist is a foreign prison cell far away from Britain," Mrs May said.
The radical Islamic preacher will be back on the streets within days after he was granted bail, despite even his own defence team suggesting he posed a "grave risk".
Mr Justice Mitting granted Qatada bail after the European Court of Human Rights ruled that he could not be deported to his native Jordan.
Downing Street said it did not regard the ruling as "the end of the road", warning that the man once described as Osama bin Laden's "right hand man in Europe" remained "dangerous" to Britain.
A spokeswoman for the Prime Minister said the Home Secretary, Theresa May, was considering how to respond to the judgment.
"We are absolutely committed to protecting national security and we are going to take the necessary measures to do so," the Downing Street spokeswoman said.
"We are in no doubt that this is a dangerous man and he poses a real threat to our security. He has not changed his views or attitude to this country.
"It is not the end of the road. We are considering our legal options."
Good luck with that. I've said it before and I'll say it again: Winston Churchill is turning in his grave. Click on the viewer below to watch my 2010 interviews with wanted terrorists walking free in London.

Riding daily in Chicago can get somewhat stale – same old, same old – and sometimes I yearn to escape the city and frolic among wild flowers and cows and stuff. Unfortunately, a true country adventure would involve a rental car or train and a lot of planning. One city ride that always seems somewhat like a country adventure is the ride from my northside neighborhood to visit my friends in Hyde Park on the southside (Obama's neighborhood!). A 30-mile round trip, the ride goes straight down Lake Michigan almost entirely on the Lakefront Trail. The first half is exactly my daily commute, but the second half is much more relaxing and scenic.
This weekend we made the trip to have brunch with friends. Continue reading

More pathetic: Boy George or Madonna?
The '80s world is starting to consume itself. Next thing you know we'll all be dancing to the Spin Doctors again and watching reruns of Party of Five.
Decide for yourself which of today's story is more pathetic:
NEW YORK (AP) -- Christie's auction house says a 30-year-old nude photo of Madonna, which earned her a $25 modeling fee, is expected to sell for at least $10,000.
LONDON (AP) -- Singer Boy George was sentenced to 15 months in jail on Friday after being convicted of falsely imprisoning a male escort by handcuffing him to a wall in a London apartment.
For some reason, I'm leaning toward the Madonna story. I mean, $10,000? To see Madonna naked? That's what Google Images is for!

I was comparing the BWG preview PDF with my BWR books to see what had changed, and I decided to make a list to help others adjust to the new system. I also wrote down any errors I saw so that Luke could be aware of them for later printings. I didn't note any changes that seemed to be made for clarity alone (like the switching of the order for describing task and intent). If anyone noticed any other changes, please feel free to add them.
p. 15 The text says dark gray is hard and light gray is easy, but the colors are reversed on the chart.
p. 66 Fate - Perception is mentoned as a skill that is already open-ended.
p. 16 Perception is no longer open-ended.
p. 26 Open tests have now been relabeld as Graduated tests, presumably to differentiate Open tests from Open-ended rolls.
p. 32 Let It Ride no longer tells players that they can call the GM on cheating if he asks for multiple rolls of the same stat or skill.
p. 41 Ob 2 Tests are no longer difficult for 3D rolls (they are routine instead).
p. 59 Evolving Beliefs or Instincts is only described on this page and is not mentioned in the Artha chapter (as it was on p.71 of BWR).
P.S. I'm not sure if this is the proper forum since BWG doesn't have it's own forum yet.

Don Doty On DARK ANGEL Reunion Rumors – "Members Of Dark Angel Are Currently Sitting Down For Talks For A Reunion For 2014"
August 16, 2013, 4 years ago
Recently, some rumors have been spreading across the web about an upcoming Dark Angel reunion. Drummer GENE HOGLAN (DETHKLOK, FEAR FACTORY, TESTAMENT, DEATH, DARK ANGEL, STRAPPING YOUNG LAD) and vocalist Don Doty have taken the time to make a statement addressing these rumors, which will hopefully put any confusion to rest.
Gene states: "Howdy everybody. Now that I'm off the road for a few minutes, I'd like to address these Dark Angel rumors that are flying around. Yes, we have been talking about doing something next year, and although it looks like possibly some festivals could be in the works, right now it's just speculation. Don Doty and myself have been in contact for the first time in many many years, and it's been great to re-connect with my old friend. Fortunately, I've remained great buddies with all the DFA guys after all these years, and we do try to stay in contact with each other and see each other when we can, especially since we are all spread out over the Western US. We are indeed discussing the possibility of a reunion, and yes, the DFA guys are well aware of all of my other commitments, such as Testament, Dethklok and the like. So again, we are moving forward s-l-o-w-l-y, with hopes to getting Dark Angel's wings off the ground for festival season in 2014."
Dark Angel vocalist Don Doty adds, "Members of Dark Angel are currently sitting down for talks for a reunion. This will be for the year 2014. All are excited. I was talking on a radio show recently and had said that all members would be attending; this statement may have been misunderstood. Myself, Gene, Mike, Eric and Jim are talking and when talks are complete a statement will be given. We will know more in the months to come. We will let you know as it unravels."
Earlier this month, Hoglan announced the The Gene Hoglan Experience, an intimate gathering of metal fans brought together to celebrate the legacy and career of one of metal's most legendary drummers. Hoglan has announced two additional dates being scheduled as part of this touring event. Fans can now witness the tour on October 17th in Coralville, IA at West Music Coralville, and on October 19th in New Berlin, WI at Cascio Interstate Music. These dates come in addition to Hoglan's September 20th appearance at Vern's Tavern in Calgary, AB. See below for times and details and stay tuned for more dates coming soon.
September20 – Calgary, AB – Vern's Tavern
October17 – Coralville, IA – West Music Coralville

Do I Need 2 Surgeries for Breast Lift?
Doctor Answers 9
Breast Implants and Lift. One vs. Two Stages
If you do not want implants it is not required. You would have to accept less fullness in the upper pole as typically even the best mastopexies will not create the degree of fullness that an implant will. If you opt not to have implants with the lift and later desire more fullness and outward projection, implants can always be placed in a second stage. A single stage augmentation with a lift is also an option, if you would rather have it all done in one procedure.
Breast Lift/Augmentation Concerns?
Thank you for the question and pictures.
Based on your pictures, you may be an excellent candidate for breast lifting surgery. Whether or not you will benefit from breast implants will depend on your specific goals. For example, if you are looking to achieve significant volume/fullness superiorly then breast augmentation may be helpful to achieve this goal.
Breast lifting involves some degree of tightening and lifting the breast skin envelope. In order to tighten the skin envelope, skin excision is necessary; this results in the presence of scars.
Sometimes, the presence of scars is a "dealbreaker"; patients would prefer to leave their breasts unchanged than to have scars. At other times, patients prefer to have the improvement in breast position, shape, and (possibly) size and are willing to accept the trade-off of scars.
I would suggest that you meet with well experienced board-certified plastic surgeons to discuss your goals in person; make sure you see lots of examples of his/her work to give you confidence that you will be able to achieve the results you are looking for. communicative goals carefully; I prefer the use of goal pictures to aid with this communication. This communication will allow your plastic surgeon to provide you with the best options to help achieve your goals.
Best wishes.

Great candidate for breast lift.
I think that you would have a great result for a breast lift and do not need an implant if you do not want one. This could be done in one operation. The second procedure that your surgeon is talking about may be to revise the fold of skin that you sometimes get with the vertical scar (or lollipop) lift. This second procedure could be avoided if you have a full anchor lift.
It sounds like you would benefit from getting an opinion from another plastic surgeon. Good luck.
You might also like...
In our practice we are able to do both surgeries at the same time. We have another Certified Plastic surgeon help in this process to get you done in a timely manner. Having an implant placed would be a good solution to help fill up the empty space on top of your breast, giving you superior fullness. The lift required would be an anchor lift and a modest implant. Good luck, Make sure you see a Certified Plastic Surgeon.
Do I Need 2 Surgeries for Breast Lift?
A good number of surgeons feel that it is safer to do a two stage operation if a combined enlargement and lift are complicated, particular if the lift procedure will be a full pattern incision lift, and it may be that that is the reason for your surgeon's recommendation.
A lot will depend upon your preferences. If your breast size is adequate, a lift alone can be accomplished in one stage, though second "touch up" procedures may be recommended.Because of the nature of your question, you would do well go seek additional opinions from other plastic surgeons.
Thanks for the question, best wishes.
Breast Augmentation with Breast Lift - One or Two Procedures?
The vast majority of patients who undergo breast lift surgery only require one surgical procedure. Unfortunately, they're patients who occasionally require secondary revisional surgery following this type of procedure. This usually occurs because of recurrent breast sag. This appears to be more likely in patients who have poor skin tone following massive weight loss. It's also more likely when breast lift surgery is combined with breast augmentation. Under these circumstances, the large number of variables increases the potential for secondary revisional surgery.
Although breast implants can be combined with breast lift surgery, it's not a requirement when breast lift surgery is performed. Under these circumstances, the decision to have breast implants is determined by the patient's anatomic starting point and their aesthetic goals
It's important to realize that breast lift surgery may occasionally require revisional surgery, especially when combined with breast augmentation surgery. It's also important to realize that the vast majority of patients who undergo breast lift surgery only require one operative procedure.
Breast Lift, one or two surgeries?
Many Plastic Surgeons would consider doing the augmentation and lift at the same time. There are more variables, and some additional risks. This is why some Plastic Surgeons are more conservative and will do this operation in two procedures. Others will do it in one, and get good results. There is no wrong answer, it just depends on you, your tissues, and your Plastic Surgeon.
Please seek out a couple of Board Certified Plastic Surgeons. Certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. On line look for ASPS and/or ASAPS members. Discuss with them your goals. They will go over your medical history, and do a proper exam. At that point you will discuss what can be done. Remember to have reasonable expectations. The surgeon has your tissue to work with. Together you and the Board Certified Plastic Surgeon will come up with a reasonable plan.

Breast lift requires only 1 operation
Patients do not require 2 operations for a breast lift. There is a technique called the Ultimate Breast Lift that gives you upper pole fullness (without needing an implant) by reshaping your existing tissue and anchoring high on your chest. This can all be done in 1 operation. You have enough breast tissue and best of all enough excess skin to build the internal bra needed to maximize projection and longevity of your lift. I welcome you to view the before and after pics in my gallery.
Best Wishes,
Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Mastopexy-How Many Surgeries ?
Typically a straight forward mastopexy can be done in a single surgery. Of course, any revision would require additional surgery. When an implant is added to the mastopexy, many surgeons prefer to stage theses two procedures. The procedures are often staged because the mastopexy tends to make the breast smaller while the implant is making the breast larger. Many surgeons feel this balance can be more safely achieved with better results in a two stage approach.

A MODEL of the Queen Mary has taken pride of place at Southampton's new SeaCity Museum.
Moving the 26ft-long, one-tonne scale model into its new home was a Herculean task in itself.
Windows had to be removed and cranes deployed to hoist the ship into the exhibition space at the museum at the city's Civic Centre, where it was welcomed by leisure and tourism supremo Cllr John Hannides.
But the biggest task of all was to bring the massive model into ship-shape condition.
Two conservation technicians were tasked with cleaning the exhibit - using tiny cotton buds.
The job took four days to complete, which is about the record time the real 81,961-tonne liner took to sail to New York during her sailing career which spanned from 1936 to 1967.
The ship, carved from one log of white mahogany, was previously berthed in the old maritime museum.
It is the first artefact in the new museum which opens on April 10.

Multi-profile intertemporal social choice: a survey
We provide a brief survey of some literature on intertemporal social choice theory in a multi-profile setting. As is well-known, Arrow's impossibility result hinges on the assumption that the population is finite. For infinite populations, there exist nondictatorial social welfare functions satisfying Arrow's axioms and they can be described by their corresponding collections of decisive coalitions. We review contributions that explore whether this possibility in the infinite-population context allows for a richer class of social welfare functions in an intergenerational model. Different notions of stationarity formulated for individual and for social preferences are examined.
