Congratulations! You found your dream home, and your offer was accepted, contingent upon the home inspection in most cases.
A question often asked is whether an inspection is important or not. Although it is another addition to the final home-buying bill, the cost to know up front what, if any, problems the home has is worth it now, rather than finding out later.
The higher cost of homes and financing today has increased the consumers' need to know the expense of necessary major repairs prior to commitment, thus professional home inspection services are growing in popularity. A home inspection, completed by a qualified inspector, will provide a detailed report about the condition of a property and is not the same as an appraisal. Note also that an FHA loan does not guarantee the property condition. It is important to be an informed buyer and to consider a home inspection.
Once you find a home inspector that meets your qualifications, there are tips you should consider to ensure you get a better-than-average inspection.
According to the American Society of Home Inspectors (ASHI), home inspections will vary depending on the type of property you are purchasing. A large historic home, for example, will require a more specialized inspection than a small condominium. However, listed below are the basic elements a home inspector will check. You also can use this list to help you evaluate properties you might purchase.
Structure: A home's skeleton impacts how the property stands up to weather, gravity and the earth. Structural components, including the foundation and the framing, should be inspected.
Exterior: The inspector should look at sidewalks, attached porches/decks/balconies, driveways, steps, windows and doors. A home's siding, trim and surface drainage also are part of an exterior inspection.
Roofing: A well-maintained roof protects you from rain, snow and other forces of nature. Take note of the roof's age, conditions of flashing, roof draining systems (pooling water), buckled shingles, loose gutters and downspouts, skylights and chimneys.
Plumbing: Thoroughly examine the water supply and drainage systems, water heating equipment and fuel storage systems. Drainage pumps and sump pumps also fall under this category. Poor water pressure, banging pipes, rust spots or corrosion may indicate problems.
Septic and well: Septic and well service replaces city water and sewer, and many home inspectors do not perform septic and well inspections. If they do not, make sure you hire a septic and well inspector approved by the Stark County Health Department or the county health department where the land is located. Inspectors will test the water to determine the bacteria count and ensure the pump is working properly. If you want to view the well log of the property you are considering purchasing, visit the Ohio Department of Resources site at www.dnr.state.oh.us. By clicking on the "soil and water" tab and then the "well log" tab at the top of the page, you can enter the property address and view the well's history. After purchasing the property, make sure the well is covered so it will not become contaminated. The well can be landscaped or a decoration placed on top of the well to discourage birds.
Electrical: Safe electrical wiring is essential. Look for the condition of service entrance wires, service panels, breakers, fuses and disconnects. Take note of the number of outlets in each room.
Heating: The home's heating system, vent system, flues and chimneys should be inspected. Look for age of water heater, whether the size is adequate for the house, speed of recovery and energy rating.
Air Conditioning: Your inspector should describe your home cooling system, its energy source and inspect the central and through-wall cooling equipment. Consider the age and energy rating of the system.
Interiors: An inspection of the inside of the home can reveal plumbing leaks, insect damage, rot, construction defects and other issues. An inspector should take a close look at the walls, ceilings, floors, steps, stairways, railings, countertops, cabinets, garage doors and garage door systems.
Ventilation/insulation: To prevent energy loss, check for adequate insulation and ventilation in the attic and in unfinished areas such as crawlspaces. Look for proper, secured insulation in walls. Insulation should be appropriate for the climate. Excess moisture in the home can lead to mold and water damage.
Fireplaces: They are charming, but they could be dangerous if not properly installed. Inspectors should examine the system, including the vent and flue, and describe solid fuel burning appliances.
For more information, try the virtual home inspection at www.ASHI.org. Consult a Realtor for assistance in selecting a qualified home inspector.
Buying a home can be one of life's most exciting experiences -- and one of the most challenging. The more prepared you are at the outset, the less overwhelming and the buying process will be.
If you have any questions about the home buying or selling process, or if you are having trouble making your monthly mortgage payment contact a Realtor with the Stark County Association of Realtors. A Realtor will help you understand the process.
The mission of the Stark County Association of Realtors is to enhance the ability and opportunity of its members to conduct their business successfully and ethically, and to promote the preservation of your right to own, use and transfer real property.
Keep in mind, legal questions regarding real estate should be directed to an attorney.

Bee Pollen
Bee Pollen "Like holding a healthfood store in palm of your hand"
A supply of bee pollen is like holding a whole health food store in the palm of your hand. This one convenient source is a storehouse of vitamins, minerals, proteins, fats and oils, carbohydrates, amino acids, over 5,000 enzymes and coenzymes, hormones, peptones, polypeptides and globulins, high concentrations of the nucleic acids RNA and DNA, and a variety of antibiotic substances. Thus, many use honey bee pollen for health reasons.
At least 2% of the contents of honey bee pollen has yet to be isolated and identified. For a complete listing of its known honey bee pollen nutrition ingredients,
In the formula found only in the beehive, the nutritional ingredients of honey bee pollen can assist and enhance the full spectrum of physiological functions.
By providing the human body with all the nutritional elements it needs, and in just the right proportions, honey bee pollen allows the body's own healing and rejuvenation mechanisms to perform their normal functions of building, restoring, and maintaining and protecting every cell.
In its original state, pollen is a fine powder composed of thousands of microscopic particles which are discharged from the anther of a flower, and is the male element of the plant which fertilizes like plants.
There are two kinds of pollen: anemophile ("friend of the wind"), and entomophile ("friend of the insect"). The former, which causes allergic reactions like hayfever, is dispersed by the air. The latter, which is the subject of this information, is gathered by the honeybee, whose travels from flower to flower make possible the reproduction of more than 80% of the world's grains, fruits, vegetables and legumes.
The individual pollen grain in encased in two protective coatings. The exine, composed of sporopollen and cellulose, is known to be acid-resistant, and has withstood temperatures in excess of 300 degrees C. Beneath this is the thinner, intine layer, which preserves oil and starch.

Paul Nelson: Heavy snow hampers development of ice on Bemidji area lakes
Lakes in the Bemidji area were busy making ice and anglers were starting to get onto the lakes when a snowstorm dumped more snow on the lakes than the ice was ready to support.
The only potential saving grace for the ice on most lakes is the extended cold snap that was expected to follow the snowstorm. Hopefully it will be cold enough to build up the ice so the snow doesn't create too many slush problems this early in the season.
Lake Bemidji was one of the last lakes to freeze and definitely did not have enough ice to support the weight of the snow. There were visible wet spots on the ice even before the snow had stopped, which means parts of Lake Bemidji are already flooded with water.
The amount of ice on the lakes varied greatly when the snowstorm hit the Bemidji area. Some deep lakes like Bemidji, Cass and Walker Bay of Leech Lake had only 3 to 5 inches of ice.
Shallow lakes like Upper Red Lake and a few other lakes had as much as 8 to 10 inches of ice when the snowstorm arrived, which was probably not enough ice to support the weight of the snow.
Slush is the enemy of ice anglers. It is hard to see and acts like a trap hidden under the surface of the snow. If anglers traveling across the ice hit a patch of slush, the end result usually means the anglers get stuck, sometimes horribly stuck.
Slush is also bad for stationary fish houses on the ice. It can freeze the house into the ice if anglers don't prop up the house with enough wood to keep the shelter off the ice and above the level of the water.
The bottom line is the winter just got a lot longer for those individuals who like to go ice fishing to pass the time. It will be a waiting game for many anglers to see how bad the ice is once the expected cold snap is over and anglers are able to get back onto the ice.
The snow and the ice conditions on the lakes will be one of many topics discussed at this year's kick-off event for the 2013 ice fishing season.
The 21st annual Ice Fishing and Winter Sports Show is being held Friday and Saturday at the River Center in St. Paul (part of the Xcel Center).
This is the largest gathering of ice anglers in the entire country and it is three days of mind numbing bliss for anyone who loves to ice fish and participate in outdoor winter sports.
Venders, large and small, will gather in one location to introduce new products and give anglers the chance to see all of the latest advances in ice fishing.
The selection of products is second to none, with enough products to fill two floors of the River Center. All of the leading companies in ice fishing will have their top pro staff on hand to answer questions and demonstrate the new products.
Anglers will be able to pick the brains of some of the biggest names in ice fishing and enjoy some of the best deals of the season, especially on the high-end items like fish houses, portable sonar, ice augers and the premium high tech outerwear.
There are also plenty of unique tackle items available and anglers will be able to find those hard-to-find items in colors not readily available at their favorite tackle stores.
Many resort owners are also in attendance, making reservations and package deals for this winter as well as next summer.
There are seminars on the hour most of the day. Anglers also have the chance to have a one-on-one conversation with expert anglers that most people only get to see in the pages of their favorite fishing magazines.
It would take most anglers an entire afternoon to physically walk around all of the exhibits, without slowing down to look at any of the products. Many vendors also bring plenty of samples to hand out to customers, so it is like "trick or treating" for ice fishing products.

Pulmonary Fibrosis
Pulmonary embolism
My mother died last month from what the Dr said was a pulmonary embolism. She had Plumonary Fibrosis, and had been diagnoised alittle over a year ago. She was on oxygen 24/7 at a level of 6. She was also taking a blood thinner for factor V and had been for several years, and she had her blood tested every couple days to make sure it was at the proper level. She had also had the screens in her groin arteries to prevent clots from traveling to the heart or lungs. I am wondering how the she could have developed this embolism in her lungs??
Most pulmonary emboli arise from blood clots in the legs that then break off and travel through the veins of the body to the lung. Less commonly, blood clots can arise from other locations in the body such as the chambers on the right side of the heart, the inferior vena cava (large vein in the abdomen), or the veins in the arms and neck.
It is uncommon for patients to develop blood clots while taking the blood thinner coumadin but sometimes patients can develop clots if the blood levels (called the INR) transiently drop down.
Also, patients with some types of cancers can develop blood clots despite the blood being appropiately thin using coumadin. Another possibility is that death may have occurred due to some other event that mimiced a pulmonary embolus as can happen with myocardial infarction (heart attack) or cardiac arrhythmia (abnormal heart rhythm).

18 U.S. Code § 3504 - Litigation concerning sources of evidence
§ 3504.
Litigation concerning sources of evidence
(a) In any trial, hearing, or other proceeding in or before any court, grand jury, department, officer, agency, regulatory body, or other authority of the United States—
upon a claim by a party aggrieved that evidence is inadmissible because it is the primary product of an unlawful act or because it was obtained by the exploitation of an unlawful act, the opponent of the claim shall affirm or deny the occurrence of the alleged unlawful act;
disclosure of information for a determination if evidence is inadmissible because it is the primary product of an unlawful act occurring prior to June 19, 1968, or because it was obtained by the exploitation of an unlawful act occurring prior to June 19, 1968, shall not be required unless such information may be relevant to a pending claim of such inadmissibility; and
As used in this section "unlawful act" means any act the use of any electronic, mechanical, or other device (as defined in section 2510(5) of this title) in violation of the Constitution or laws of the United States or any regulation or standard promulgated pursuant thereto.
(Added Pub. L. 91–452, title VII, § 702(a), Oct. 15, 1970, 84 Stat. 935.)
Congressional Statement of Findings
Pub. L. 91–452, title VII, § 701, Oct. 15, 1970, 84 Stat. 935, provided that:
"The Congress finds that claims that evidence offered in proceedings was obtained by the exploitation of unlawful acts, and is therefore inadmissible in evidence, (1) often cannot reliably be determined when such claims concern evidence of events occurring years after the allegedly unlawful act, and (2) when the allegedly unlawful act has occurred more than five years prior to the event in question, there is virtually no likelihood that the evidence offered to prove the event has been obtained by the exploitation of that allegedly unlawful act."
Applicability to Proceedings
Pub. L. 91–452, title VII, § 703, Oct. 15, 1970, 84 Stat. 936, provided that:
"This title [enacting this section and provisions set as notes under this section] shall apply to all proceedings, regardless of when commenced, occurring after the date of its enactment [Oct. 15, 1970]. Paragraph (3) of subsection (a) of section 3504, chapter 223, title 18, United States Code, shall not apply to any proceeding in which all information to be relied upon to establish inadmissibility was possessed by the party making such claim and adduced in such proceeding prior to such enactment."

Roundup: Spain's Decriminalized Abortion Law Goes Into Effect, Viagra Use Leads To More STIs?
Spain is entering a new era where abortion in the first 14 weeks is no longer a criminal offense, and it appears that men using sexual enhancement drugs aren't protecting themselves.
On Monday, Spain put into effect its new law, which changed abortion from an illegal procedure that could only be done in cases of maternal health to one where it is allowed for any reason for the first 14 weeks of a pregnancy. The New York Times reports:
A new law allowing abortion without restrictions in the first 14 weeks of pregnancy went into effect on Monday, but the Constitutional Court could intervene to suspend or change it. The law, approved by Parliament in February, allows abortions without parental permission for 16- and 17-year-olds, although the parents must be informed. It also declares a woman's right to abortion and eliminates the threat of imprisonment. The conservative Popular Party is challenging the 14-week clause as unconstitutional, and the Constitutional Court must decide whether to suspend the law while it studies the appeal.
Supporters of the new regulations are unphased by the thought of a court challenge, and are eager to remove criminal penalties and bring Spain more line with its European neighbors. From The Associated Press:
The law, approved by Parliament in February, was the latest item on a liberal agenda undertaken by the Socialist government, which took power in 2004. The measure is seen as bringing this traditionally Roman Catholic country more in line with its secular neighbors in northern Europe.

Equality Minister Bibiana Aido told Cadena SER radio the government was unworried by an appeal by the conservative Popular Party to the Constitutional Court challenging the 14-week clause as unconstitutional.
"The government is fully convinced of the constitutionality of the law," she said. …
"Above all it is a more secure law, providing legal protection for both women and health professionals," said Aido. She said it reflected the needs of Spanish society better than the previous law.
Under the previous law, which dated to 1985, women could in theory go to jail for getting an abortion outside certain strict limits — up to week 12 in case of rape and week 22 if the fetus was malformed.
Of course, no change in abortion law ever exists without anti-choice protests, in this case even though the new law isn't expected to make much of an overall impact on the number of abortions in the country, just whether they are "legal" or "illegal." Via Christian Post:
Hundreds of people protested the new law on Saturday, shouting "no to abortion" and "yes to life." Earlier in March, tens of thousands made the same plea at a major rally in Madrid and other cities.
The new law also removes the threat of imprisonment that was present in the previous law. Women who had an abortion outside the specified limits could have been sent to jail.
Last week, Spain's highest court agreed to hear a challenge to the law from the Popular Party. The conservative party, which filed suit in June, argued that the legislation violates an article of the constitution which recognizes that "everyone has the right to life," as reported by Agence France-Presse.
Abortion was decriminalized in 1985 and since then the number of abortions done has continued to increase. Last year, there were around 115,000 abortions carried out in Spain. The majority of abortions were done with women claiming "psychological risk."
Mini Roundup: Remember that whole argument that it's ok to cover Viagra and not birth control because Viagra doesn't run up other insurance costs? Look who's suddenly skyrocketing up the STI charts — sexual enhancements users. In the meantime, now contraception may become insurance freebies!

Alford (pronounced "Olford") is a town, formerly an urban district, in Lincolnshire, England. It is situated approximately 11 miles (18 km) northwest from the coastal resort of Skegness, and at the foot of the Lincolnshire Wolds. Alford's population was 3,459 in the 2011 UK census.
Alford is now in the non-metropolitan district of East Lindsey in Lincolnshire. It was formerly an urban district in the Parts of Lindsey division of Lincolnshire.
For more information, see the EN Wikipedia article Alford, Lincolnshire. A number of the "Notable People" are of interest to Americans.
Research Tips
Lincolnshire is very low-lying and land had to be drained for agriculture to be successful. The larger drainage channels, many of which are parallel to each other, became boundaries between parishes. Many parishes are long and thin for this reason.
There is much fenland in Lincolnshire, particularly in the Boston and Horncastle areas. Fenlands tended to be extraparochial before the mid 1850s, and although many sections were identified with names and given the title "civil parish", little information has been found about them. Many appear to be abolished in 1906, but the parish which adopts them is not given in A Vision of Britain through Time. Note the WR category Lincolnshire Fenland Settlements which is an attempt to organize them into one list.
From 1889 until 1974 Lincolnshire was divided into three administrative counties: Parts of Holland, Parts of Kesteven and Parts of Lindsey. These formal names do not fit with modern grammatical usage, but that is what they were, nonetheless. In 1974 the northern section of Lindsey, along with the East Riding of Yorkshire, became the short-lived county of Humberside. In 1996 Humberside was abolished and the area previously in Lincolnshire was made into the two "unitary authorities" of North Lincolnshire and North East Lincolnshire. The remainder of Lincolnshire was divided into "non-metropolitan districts" or "district municipalities" in 1974. Towns, villages and parishes are all listed under Lincolnshire, but the present-day districts are also given so that places in this large county can more easily be located and linked to their wider neighbourhoods. See the WR placepage Lincolnshire, England and the smaller divisions for further explanation.

By NICHOLAS K. GERANIOS,
MOSCOW, Idaho (AP) Jeremy Avery rushed for a career-high 156 yards and two touchdowns to help No. 9 Boise State keep alive its hopes of returning to a BCS bowl with a 45-10 win over Idaho on Saturday.
Boise State (10-0, 6-0 Western Athletic) won its 10th straight over the Vandals, and also clinched at least a share of its sixth WAC title in the past seven seasons.
Idaho (2-9, 1-6) trailed just 17-10 at halftime. Boise State scored the first four times it had the ball in the second half to blow the game open.
Avery carried 11 times for an average of 14 yards per carry, and Boise State piled up 315 yards on the ground and 525 overall.
Freshman quarterback Kellen Moore enjoyed excellent protection, completing 23 of 31 passes for 210 yards. Jeremy Childs made 11 catches for 99 yards.
Facing a defense ranked second in the nation by allowing just 10 points per game, Idaho managed 329 yards and one touchdown.
Boise State, ninth in the latest BCS standings, is trying to make the Bowl Championship Series for the second time in three seasons. To cash a big BCS check, the Broncos need to sweep WAC rivals Nevada and Fresno State, and probably need undefeated Utah, No. 7 in the BCS standings, to lose.
Idaho scored on its first play of the game when Daniel Hardy took a short pass from Nathan Enderle and ran for an 81-yard touchdown. Hardy appeared to have been tackled for a short gain, but he rolled across the bodies of several Boise State defenders without touching the ground, then popped to his feet and outran pursuers.
That was the high point for the Vandals.
Avery ran up the middle for a 19-yard touchdown to tie it with 5:35 left in the first quarter.
Idaho punted on its next series, and Kyle Wilson returned the ball 79 yards for a 14-7 lead.
Idaho replied with its first long drive of the game, going 70 yards to the 3, but had to settle for Tino Amancio's 20-yard field goal to cut the BSU lead to 14-10
After Kyle Brotzman missed a 44-yard field goal attempt for the Broncos, Wilson intercepted a pass, giving the Broncos the ball back on their own 25. The Broncos settled for a field goal and a 17-10 lead.
Boise State scored on all three of its third quarter possessions, while holding Idaho to 39 yards in the quarter.
Avery ran through a big hole on the left side for a 57-yard touchdown on Boise State's first possession of the second half. Idaho was moving the ball when Enderle was sacked and stripped, and Ellis Powers picked it up and ran 45 yards for a touchdown and a 31-10 lead.
Boise State's next possession was an 89-yard drive capped by a 16-yard touchdown run by Vinny Perretta.

Movie Recommendations from Stars
Buzz In: What Stars' Movie Recommendations Interest You?
Every month, Turner Classic Movies invites a star to be the channel's guest programmer. The October selection of Rainn Wilson grabbed my attention because I'm definitely curious to find out what movies have inspired him or what he kicks back and enjoys in his spare time. His choices range from fairly obscure (The 5,000 Fingers of Dr. T) to totally adorable (Singin' in the Rain).
This of course got me thinking about what other famous minds I'd like to pick for a movie recommendation. Maybe George Clooney? He's so pretty, but beyond that, he's clearly well-informed and passionate about film. I also know, based on writer Diablo Cody's dozen film picks for the New Beverly Cinema, that she'd be a great guest programmer (her selections reveal a serious weakness for all things '80s — you can check them out here). What stars' film inspirations would you be curious to see?

Going Green
"Environmentalism is not a partisan issue," says Martin Sexton. "It's a human issue." Speaking from his home in Boston a few days before the second leg of a cross-country tour, the guitarist, singer and songwriter has decided to add activist to his already full résumé. Using only biodiesel fuel in the tour bus, purchasing renewable wind energy credits to offset CO2 emissions and selling clothing made of organic cotton, the tour is determined to leave a smaller environmental footprint.
"I've always tried to be responsible in my personal life," says Sexton. "And after I saw Al Gore's film, I decided to take this to a professional level."
While some might view an eco-friendly tour as some sort of attention-getting stunt or as patently leftist, political posturing, Sexton wants to be neither a media darling nor a lock-step liberal.
Martin Sexton
Martin Sexton performs Tuesday, May 22, at the House of Blues Cambridge Room.
"I'm not preaching, making a statement or trying to be high and mighty," says Sexton. "I'm just trying to set an example of how being green can be fun, economical and unthreatening."

Sexton's unique melding of musical styles and his evocative vocals have made him a critical favorite with an ever-growing fan base ever since he released his 1996 debut Black Sheep. Comparisons to rock/soul heavyweights Van Morrison, Al Green and Otis Redding have, remarkably, not gone to Sexton's head. Charming and well-spoken, Sexton comes across as the likable next-door neighbor who just happens to be able to sing and play his ass off.
"I'm a hardworking performer, and people seem to appreciate that," he says. And for the first time, Sexton is out on the road with a full band, quite a change from his much revered solo performances.
"I wanted to change it up a bit, to present the songs more like they are on the record," he says.
Sexton's most recent record, Seeds, is yet another collection of pop, soul, country and rock that defies easy categorization. While "Thought I Knew Ya" is an easygoing acoustic ditty a la Dave Matthews, "Goin' to the Country" is country blues infused with urban soul, and "Marry Me" brings to the fore a little-known admiration of the Fab Four.
"I guess I'd call it all soul music," says Sexton. "That seems to be the closest thing in the English language to describe what I do."
Yet now, Sexton wants to bring an element of laid-back activism into what he does; and he has partnered with CLIF Bar's GreenNotes program and Newman's Own Foods to help spread the environmentally friendly word.
"We're eating all organic food on the bus and in the dressing room," says Sexton with a remarkable sincerity. "Some people see it as left or right, but I see it as a given to preserve our planet."

Here is one of those very classy Citizen Campanola watches that I would love to own. This is a model number AG6210-03E, sporting a curvy tonneau case, and a full perpetual calendar laid out in avant garde Campanola fashion. Like all excellent Citizen Campanola watches, this represents the best Japanese watch company Citizen has to offer in these hand decorated and handmade watches. I've discussed these watches at length, and you can read my many thoughts on them in these articles.
Aside from the meticulously polished case and attractive face, the features in this Campanola are useful. This version focuses on the calendar providing the month, year, date, and date of the week. Further, the calendar is perpetual, meaning it takes into consideration leap years and the different amount of days months have. Lastly, the watch has synchronized 24 hour hand built into the the seconds subdial. Citizen is able to lay out this information in a way with lovely intrigue.
I really love the hands on this watch. With triangular geometric precision they travel around the face's rounded and squared shapes. Interaction with the roman numerals is good, and legibility is clear despite the intense level of information.
Right now on eBay, a fine example of the Citizen Campanola AG6210-03E is available offered with some nice extras. One thing this watch comes with is a metal bracelet that I've never seen offered with this style Campanola. I'd love to see how this looks on the watch. Further, the watch also comes with two other lizard skin straps that are one of the best compliments a Campanola can have, as well a black calf strap. So you'd get 3 straps and 1 metal bracelet. The auction opens at $699, which is an excellent deal for the number of items, the watch, and the condition. I know it will find a good owner.

Ever since I was in my 20s, I have had a sag in my cheek area. After I had kids and put on some weight, it got even worse. My lower eyelids looked droopy and tired, I developed bulldog jowls, and that little fold between my cheek and nose got substantially worse. Well, I thought I needed fat sucked out, an eye lift, Botox for the crease and all kinds of other procedures. The only con I have is the wait for surgery day. I was so excited and anxious after my consultation, that waiting over a week was making me antsy. But I can see why he is such a busy guy, because the results are great, the pain was well-managed and I was back on my feet the next day. Now 2 months after the procedure, I feel great inside and out!
Gave Me Exactly What I Needed and the Results Are Fantastic - Orange County, CA
Ever since I was in my 20s, I have had a sag in my...
I couldn't think of anything they could have done better. I chose Dr. Domanskis after a few other consultations with other surgeons who took me up on the laundry list of procedures I THOUGHT I needed, maybe just to get a quick buck. Dr. Domanskis, however, told me what was what, and encouraged me to try the cheek lift before anything else, which saved me a lot of money. Dr. Domanskis told me I didn't need all of that work and solved all of my problems with one quick, minimally invasive procedure: the cheek lift. He had great bedside manner and thoroughly explained everything. The nurses were great on the day of surgery when I had some pre-surgery jitters, and went out of their way to make sure I was comfortable the rest of my time there.

Audrey Young outlines Labour dreadful choices…they all know David Shearer is hopeless and essentially a political corpse. Almost every political journalist and most commentators except the rabid mouth breathers of the left know that he is a goner.
When rumours of a leadership coup in Labour broke on Tuesday night, I bumped into a Green MP as I was racing back to the office.
The first question we asked ourselves is "who is it?"
We speculated about David Cunliffe and deputy Grant Robertson.
Grant's not ready, I said. Grant is definitely ready, the MP said.
I also thought about Andrew Little. He had a boost from the last Herald-DigiPoll survey which had him almost matching Grant Robertson in terms of a suitable replacement for Shearer were he to suddenly depart politics.
It was the same poll that began this round of jitters because Shearer's popularity fell six points and the party's by almost the same amount to 30.9 per cent.
Anyway, by the end of Tuesday night, it was clear there was no coup under way by Robertson or anyone else. But Shearer's chances of being replaced before the next election had increased.
No immediate coup…but certainly a coup destabilisation Personally I don;t think Grant Robertson has the stones to conduct a coup. Andrew Little does though, and he would be one to cut a deal with David Cunliffe.
At the start of the week, I would have put his chances of surviving at 80/20. Now they would be closer to 50/50.
I think more like 40/60. Roy Morgan next week may tweak it back up to 50/50, or it could trip the spill.
That's for two reasons: first the party has not united behind him since the leadership contest with Cunliffe in 2011, and the "man-ban" issue has reinforced the disrespect the party has of him; and secondly because public talk about a coup can help to make it happen.
Colin Espiner's words were damning…"a shambolic, equivocal, spineless ditherer with the political nous of a first-term MP."
The Labour MPs who took to Twitter were angered because they knew that even having to deny it makes the possibility that much more plausible.
There may not have been a letter of no-confidence circulating on Tuesday, but it is drafted in some people's minds, if not their bottom draws.
A letter of no-confidence would need 50 per cent of the signatures plus one to trigger a wider vote, so 18 signatures from a caucus of 34, or 17 were a vote to be held between the time Lianne Dalziel resigns for a tilt at the Christchurch mayoralty and is replaced.
The caucus would comprise 40 per cent of the final vote, the party 40 per cent and the affiliates 20 per cent.
Interesting that Audrey mentions Lianne Dalziel. The final vote from membership could easily be avoided by presenting a single name on the ballot. Something most commentators miss.
The coverage of the whole "man-ban" issue has exposed the party's fundamental flaws: its factions, the tensions between the caucus and the party, and the perception that the party is overly concerned with issues of identity.
Amid the leadership issues, there has been a serious debate internally in Labour this week about the wisdom of Maryan Street promoting her euthanasia private members' bill.
Labour is terrified it will be drawn out of the ballot.
Snigger. This is what happens when you party is focussed on single issues and identity politics.
Despite the talk of a no-confidence letter, in the event that things got very bad for Labour, it is unlikely that Shearer would need a letter.
The more likely scenario is that party seniors and faction brokers Phil Goff and Annette King, would tell him: it's time, David.
He would resign and a new leadership contest would begin.
How bad would it have to get? There are two reputable polls set to be published in the next few weeks: TV One's and TV3's.
May's TV One and TV3's polls both had Labour on 33 per cent, and Fairfax's had it on 31.9 per cent. Including DigiPoll, three of the four polls have Labour heading south.
It is hard to imagine that the "man-ban" issue (allowing some electorates to have women-only selection contests) and subsequent coup talk has done anything but damage.
Shearer looked decisive for half a news cycle. The lasting image is not of a strong leader but one being kicked by one side of his party for not acting sooner and kicked by the other side of the party for acting at all.
The man-ban issue has surely hurt, cemented in people's minds that Labour is about identity politics, spite and not focussed on the things that matter.
The question is whether that downward spin has begun from which there is no recovery.
If Labour were to drop into the 20s in all three polls, that would be understandable given recent events.
If it were to stay there for three months, it would be fatal to Shearer – Goff and King would come knocking. Then the battle would get interesting.
Labour's own internal polling shows them in the 20s, mired there for at least a month already. they know that un-probed voter intentions are even lower, akin to Bill English type scenarios, where some numbers start with a one.
I think Labour has to look to a third candidate, someone like Andrew Little, his deputy would be likely to be Jacinda Ardern and David Cunliffe as Finance. Only then could Labour look like they have rid themselves of the old guard and the Clarkists. Goff, King and mallard will all be told to sling their hooks.
One can;t dismiss a proper split in Labour either. The factions are implacable, a split might be the only way to go.

Rachel Zoe's husband Rodger Berman says he and his wife are going to have "the most fashionable baby ever."
He writes in an article for Harper's Bazaar, "I won't be surprised if our baby has Chanel diapers, Missoni blankets, and an Hermès bassinet. People say he or she is going to be the most fashionable baby ever. And I believe them."
He adds, "Look at me! I have no predisposition to fashion, but thanks to Rachel I can't leave the house without worrying about whether or not my clothes match."
Excited for the baby's arrival, he does know that life for the couple will change.
Berman says, "While I don't know how things are going to change when the baby comes, I know that they will change. But I think it's entirely possible to have a career in fashion and raise a child. Stella McCartney is on her fourth child and remains both a fashion icon and a great mom.
"All I know is, Rachel and I will figure it out. And if she wants to take the baby to Fashion Week, I say, why not? But we'll probably need an extra hotel room for all of the baby clothes."
Recently the couple let it slip that they are expecting a baby boy! Their lives are currently being filmed for the fourth season of The Rachel Zoe Project.

Kate Glaws '07, an IUP alumnus and current doctoral student in the School of Physical Therapy at Belmont University in Nashville, Tennessee, has been selected for the Sports Physical Therapy Residency Program at the Ohio State University's Wexner Medical Center.
The residency is one of 22 APTA-credentialed programs in sports physical therapy in the United States.
Kate was selected from among 30 applicants to the program and will begin the 16-month residency after graduating with a Doctorate of Physical Therapy from Belmont in August 2012.
"This is a notable accomplishment for Kate, as this process is highly competitive due to the limited number of positions available in the United States," Michael Voight, a professor in the School of Physical Therapy at Belmont, said. "Kate exemplifies all of the characteristics required to excel in this type of post-graduate education. The residency at OSU is considered one of the best in the country with a very distinguished faculty."
The OSU residency provides opportunities to receive clinical training in sports physical therapy from physical therapists and physicians specializing in orthopedics and sports medicine, to participate in research at the University's biomechanics research laboratory, and to treat sports patients. Residents gain experience working with OSU's athletic programs, treating athletes in Division I sports, club sports, and at USA National Governing Body of Sports Medicine events. Residents also instruct orthopedic and cadaveric labs in OSU's entry-level PT program.
As a PT student at Belmont, Kate coauthored a research study with fellow students Sarahann Callaway, Melissa Mitchell, and Heather Scerbo and faculty members Mike Voight and Pat Sells. The study explored the relationship between peak pelvis rotation, gluteus medius, and gluteus maximus strength on a golfer's handicap. The study was published in the June 2012 edition of the International Journal of Sports Physical Therapy.
Kate entered the DPT program at Belmont after graduating from IUP's Cook Honors College with a degree in accounting. At IUP, Kate was team captain of the women's basketball team for two years, and, in her senior season, led the Crimson Hawks to the PSAC Conference Championship and the NCAA Division II Sweet Sixteen, where she was selected to the All-Tournament team. She also was named to ESPN the Magazine's Academic All-District II Women's Basketball First Team in 2007 following a Second Team selection in 2006.

"I gotta warn you," Norman Mailer snaps into the phone. "I'm a little on the deaf side. You're going to have to bite your words." Yes, sir, and how fitting: Mailer has long been known for his taste for language with teeth. Since the 1948 publication of his first novel, "The Naked and the Dead," he has established himself as a preeminent novelist, a master provocateur, and, to quote his new book, a "dependable pain in the ass." "The Spooky Art: Some Thoughts on Writing" (Random House, $24.95), published on Jan. 31, his 80th birthday, gathers… uh, did he say spooky? "There's something odd about writing," Mailer confirms. "This creates all sorts of tension, uneasiness, fear. Even dread at times."
But for a writer who regards his work as an existential struggle, Mailer likes to have a good time. For instance, the pleasure of assembling "The Spooky Art" was in splicing together new material and five decades' worth of essays and interviews dug up by his archivist and editor, J. Michael Lennon. "Then the fun began! It was like editing a movie, but with bits of prose: Three lines. Forty-two lines. Five pages."
Perhaps "The Spooky Art" is most striking for Mailer's recounting of his own follies. He is entrancingly frank on topics from his titanic ego of yore ("I thought I had books in me that no one else did…. Kind of grandiose") to the proper approach, when forced by money trouble, to write a novel in 60 days ("First person is always more hospitable"). "Candor may be my strong point," he says. "And you've got to work with your strengths. Also, it's just great fun to be candid 'cause so many people are afraid of that, and I'm in a privileged position, after all. I'm 80 years old. I can afford to be candid. They're not going to come and pull me out and shoot me."

I have been eyeing up this cologne for years, but since I already have a few choices and rarely wear cologne, I never bought it. A couple of months ago I had a couple extra bucks laying around, decided to pick this up, and I am so happy! I have received nothing but compliments from women on this cologne. I usually hear "oh wow, you smell amazing. What is that you're wearing?"
I've been a big fan of Lacoste cologne since I used Lacoste Pour Homme back in 2009. Challenge smells similar to it, but there is something just a little better, so this is my new favorite Lacoste Cologne
On the first smell, Challenge has a very sweet smell, with the slight hint on a pine finish, kind of like a fine gin. There are also ginger and citrus notes that give it a clean, fresh smell. This cologne gives off a very dominant and masculine scent.
The bottle itself is a little excessive. It's just a tall tower with a really big cap. Seriously, the cap is about 1.5-2" tall. It's really unnecessary. Also, it's annoying that the black rubber goes so high from the bottom, because it is hard to see how much is actually in the bottle.
This cologne is strong, and seems to last a long time. I usually use 2 small sprays of colgone (one on my neck, one on my shirt collar area), but with this one, I feel like 1 spray is good enough and 2 is overpowering. The scent lingers on, and should be sprayed well before going on a date.
Overall, I'm very happy that I purchased this and feel that it was a good addition to my cologne inventory. The few girls I have dated since I bought this loved it, and this is my new go-to cologne
People tend to associate the Lacoste brand with the high end fashion market (all those crocodile logos on plain t-shirts etc.) rather than on the Health and Beauty sector, but the Lacoste brand is an ever growing one here and is particularly big in Western Europe excluding the UK - where concerted efforts are being made to build the image of the brand and make it accessible to more consumers.
To me, the Lacoste Health and Beauty range is made up of a number of high end products, and the newer additions to this range seem to have cemented this assumption further, as the fragrances are of a growing sophistication - rather than the earlier efforts which I found a tad over-powering.
The product that I purchased was the Lacoste Challenge Eau de Toilette, which was 90ml in size, and I purchased this from a local fragrance outlet, for the reasonable price of £37.99 - but I would expect to pay anywhere from this price up to £45 in some of the larger retailers such as Boots in the UK.
Given the previous links Lacoste has with the sporting world, and Tennis in particular, it seems quite apt that the bottle for this fragrance is tall and the lid (and part of the bottom of the bottle) are shaped in a similar way to that of a Tennis racket handle - a tip of the hat to the sports range from the Health and Beauty sector. The standard range is available with a black handle, where as you can also purchase a limited edition range (not sure how limited this is) with a white handle if that is what you prefer.
The packaging that the bottle comes in mimics that of the actual bottle, with the top half black (or white) and the lower half a light shade of yellow to match the colour of the fragrance in the transparent glass section of the bottle.
As you can deduce from both the yellow colouring of the fragrance and the bottle, the fragrance contains notes of both tangerine and lemon, which gives a sharp citrus scent to it which is strong but not to over-powering as to make everyone either stare at you as if you have two heads or if you have just climbed out of a bin. I find that the fragrance is, understandably, almost sporty in nature which you would expect given the homage paid to Tennis in the design. As a result I find the fragrance is a good balance and can be used not just for formal occasions, but for general day wear to, and the scent has enough longevity to stay with you for hours unlike some brands that dissipate very quickly indeed.
Tangerine, lemon, aromatic lavender, ginger
A great sporty, citrus, scent that can be used for all occasions from evenings out and formal dinners to day to day wear for the workplace or just out and about - five out of five for Lacoste!
Lacoste: Challenge, Eau de Toilette
Brand: Lacoste

Contents: 90 ml
Lacoste is one brand which comes originally from France and was founded in 1933 by Rene Lacoste and André Gillier. It's a brand which focuses on selling among other (expensive) clothes, shoes, perfumes and watches and all have the logo of a crocodile. For me the brand is best known for its polo shirts, it's sporty look but also it's expensive nature of its products. I don't really buy products from this brand but couldn't resist this smell.
The Lacoste Challenge has a very classic and a bit old kind of look. It looks like a gold coloured bar with a black plastic cap on top of it. On the bottle you can clearly see the logo of Lacoste in the form of a white crocodile. The box has the same yellow / black color combination with the white name and Lacoste crocodile on the black part. On the yellow section is in black letters indicating that this is the Challenge and an Eau de Toilette.
This fragrance comes across as very light, fresh and fruity. It's a very typical Lacoste fragrance and I was certainly not disappointed the first time I smelled it. You can clearly notice the lemon and tangerine scent but it has also a hint of spices like ginger and teak and ebony. When you spray this fragrance you first notice the freshness but when it settles down you notice more a more soft side to it. Although I really like the smell it doesn't come across as original and different.
The Lacoste Challenge is a great fragrance and one that's perfect for during the day. You can buy the 90ml for about 30 pounds. The problem I have is that it doesn't really stand out from the other Lacoste fragrances. It's nothing really new which is a shame. I would buy it again because I like it but it prevents me from buying another Lacoste fragrance at the same time.
I always associate Lacoste with a certain type of man, who lives in Poole, likes boating, wears Blue Harbour from Marks and Spencer and has a side parting. I got bought some the other week as a gift and I tick none of the above! I usually prefer Boss or Joop, but thought I would give it a whirl anyway.
Presentation of the fragrance is sleek and minimal with a trendy enough bottle. The bottle almost looks a bit feminine and this intrigued me. My initial opinion was that the fragrance was going to be overly potent, when I smelt the top of the nozzle. The reality though was not as expected, the fragrance was much less overwhelming once I had it on.
So now onto the smell. he first thing that struck me was that it had a very fresh and summery citrus scent, this would be the lemon and tangerine pushing through with a keen stride. This in turn is tempered with a softer touch of lavender which warms the scent. Then on top of this, there are flavours that arrive afterwards once it has settled. A provoking aroma of ginger gives it a subtle sweetness which really appealed to me and then we have rosewood tucked in there somewhere too. Overall, the balance of smells in here is considered and satisfying. The smell holds up well for an hour or two then subsides and might need a new dash here and there.
This is a summer fragrance, light and airy and refreshing and would be ideal for days out by the ocean or long drives in the country. The price tag of thirty pounds for a 75ml bottle is reasonable enough and I think this is a fragrance that I would purchase myself when this one runs out.
Say Lacoste, to me and i automatically think sports clothes or them white polo tops with the corcodile on,
It was a shock to discover that these too had gone down the same road as many other companies. but was also amazed that they had been doing it for some while. i guess the only reason i can think of is that I have never thought about Lacoste in the perfume industry so have never looked.
So after getting this fragrance i took it upon myself to discover a little more about lacoste instead of just knowing of the polo shirts and sports clothes dont worry i only used the basics for this review, it does relay to you what i did think of " Lacoste Challange EDT"
Rene Lacasote, founded the "Lacoste" group back in 1933 with Andre Giller whom at the time,
was a big boss of a large knitwear boss which was when the first polo shirt was first seen.
In 1951 they decided to change things and started to introduce other colours.
And as time progressed other items of clothing were introduced.
It was not until 1980 When they started to introduce the shoes, glasses and perfume that things started to
take off.
With Proctor and Gamble owning the license to produce the lacoste fragrance it is no suprise that most of their fragrances would be a hit with the general public, after all Proctor and Gamble are a house hold name and it is a name people can and will recognise if put on a product.
Challange is a fragrance i bought for my nephew for christmas after getting a free sample and a £10.00 free coupon
from joining the lacoste site. (www,lacoste.com)
Lacoste Challange is blueprinted to bring about guys to touch life's confrontations with courage, capability as well as liveliness. Life is a playground, and the guy is compliant to 'play' at a moment's notice. This attitude was portrayed coupled by Lacoste, the brand's founding creator, along with today's up-to-date, Challenge-addict men.
The scent releases forcefully with modern as well as potent notes of tangerine and lemon, accumulated close-at-hand with a smack of fragrant lavender , Then for the middle notes you have spices including ginger, which is all bought together with the underlining base notes of teak and rosewood. Together they construct an asserted energy, awarding the scent its rigid depths. And they rigid the scent is very strong on the first sprays and lingers a lot!
The Bottle is designed to represent that of a tennis racquet handle ,while the hard glass vial is coated in a incandescent black gentle touch grip coating like that on the tennis racquets handle then crowned with the iconic Lacoste crocodile logo, while the scent is a bright, eye-catching champagne colour.
The scent is also available in diffrent formats such as shower gel, after shave lotion, roll on and deodrant stick.
I was going to buy mine off the lacoste site with my £10 coupon but found it cheaper on another site Fragranceexpert.com as it was on £23.49, for 50 ml.
You can proberbly get it cheaper with looking but i was happy for what i paid, and was in a hurry to buy with last minute xmas shopping as i stated you will more than likley find it cheaper, If however you wish to buy from the lacoste site then do register with them , they are generous in sending out coupons and samples. which always come in handy.

OAKLAND, Calif. — The Rays do have it in them.
They showed it when they piled up 26 runs in back-to-back wins over the Orioles and Yankees. They showed it when they scored nine Wednesday night in Seattle.
And they showed it again Friday night, when they busted out early and coasted to an 8-2 win over the A's.
"We did a lot of good things," manager Joe Maddon said. "We were better. The at-bats were good. A lot of guys are starting to look more like they're supposed to look.'' Now they have to show they can look that way over an extended period and score enough consistently to start winning games (they're now 7-10), and series (they've lost four straight), on a more regular basis.
Friday was another glimpse of what they think they are capable of offensively, plus a strong start by Scott Kazmir and another, by now almost nightly, highlight-clip catch by centerfielder B.J. Upton.
Carlos Peña led the way with a pair of home runs, giving him a major-league-most eight. "I think it's very helpful. We try to draw some confidence from games like this," Peña said. "Hopefully we get on a nice little winning track."
Gabe Gross showed his swing was indeed on the right path, as Maddon said it was in starting him over Ben Zobrist against Oakland rookie Trevor Cahill, with his first two extra-base hits of the season, a second-inning homer and a double.
Jason Bartlett had four hits from the bottom of the order, and Upton and Carl Crawford were on base five times at the top.
The Rays played hungry, which they were after an edict from their home office to limit unhealthy food choices in the road clubhouses as well. And they were hot (13 hits), impressive since it was another cold night, with a first-pitch temperature of 54 degrees.
In their seven wins, they've averaged 8.6 runs and hit .353; in their 10 losses they've averaged 2.1 runs and hit .196. So a little consistency would be good.
"We just try to focus on what we can control, and that is 1-9 having some good at-bats, and when we do that we're going to be able to score a lot of runs,'' Pena said. "And when we don't, whether it's from a lack of focus or sometimes we just get a pretty good pitcher like we did in Seattle (Felix Hernandez), I think it shows. When we're putting good at-bats together, we took a lot of pitches in the first inning, it's a good sign, and the next thing you know we're on the board.''
Kazmir did his part to help, overcoming a bit of a shaky beginning to work six shutout innings, improving to 3-1 and eliminating at least most of any concerns from his previous rough outing. He allowed only two singles while walking three, allowing the leadoff man to reach in each of the first three innings but none to score, and retired his final 11.
"Kaz righted himself - that was still the big part of the game; I always look at that,'' Maddon said. "He started out not really on, and then really got into a pretty nice (groove), the last 3 ½ innings he started to become more consistent with his strike throwing, a much better repeated delivery. I liked that a lot.''
Kazmir didn't like how it started either, as he once again was going side-to-side in his delivery rather than directly to the plate. "As the game went on I kind of calmed down a little bit – I was getting a little frustrated out there,'' he said. "I just had to battle out there pretty much. And I had some great defense behind me, a couple really good plays that really gave me confidence.''
He had no problems, however, with the outcome. "I'll take it any chance I can get,'' he said, "but there's still a lot of room for improvement.''
A day after being held to four singles in a frustrating 1-0 loss at Seattle, the Rays came out hitting and took advantage of the inexperienced Cahill, a 21-year-old right-hander making his fourth big-league start after splitting last season between Class A and Double A.
The Rays got off to a quick start. They scored one in the first, when Upton walked and Crawford doubled; one in the second, when Gross led off with a homer; and five in the third to break it open.
Peña's three-run homer was the big blast, but it was a team effort as the Rays sent 11 to the plate. Crawford walked and Evan Longoria doubled ahead of Peña's homer, then with two outs they rapped four consecutive hits, Dioner Navarro singling in Gross, and Akinori Iwamura doubling in Navarro and ending Cahill's miserable night.
The Rays added another in the sixth when Peña led off with another homer, the 14th multi-homer game of his career.
The Rays started the season in a bit of a funk, especially offensively. They came to Oakland having lost seven of their last nine, and scoring three or fewer runs in all seven losses. And they'd dropped four consecutive series, after not losing any more than two straight all of last season.
