2 years ago I had upper eyelid op. The outside corners of my eyes have scars and are very tight even after all this time. I did not have lower eye surgery. My surgeon (not the same one obviously) wants to give me an Extended Macs operation which includes lower eye pinch. Would this lower eye pinch make my eyes tighter (cat-like or other). Would appreciate any advice - thanks
Will a MACS Operation Plus Pinch Make my Eyes Too Tight?
Doctor Answers 5
This very much depends on what your doctor does with your surgery
A MACS lift is a limited access facelift with a great deal of vertical lift. The effect is generally a superolateral sweep of cheek soft tissues. While many site illustrate nice results from this procedure, it is possible for these type of procedures to create a bit of a sweep result. A lot depends on precisely what the surgeon does and also what is going on in your face. It is possible to have a pulled up effect at the eyes with more aggressive dissection with an effort to affect more of a midface lift at the time of the MACS lift.
A lower eyelid skin pinch is generally a mild surgery but again what surgeons consider a "skin pinch" seems to vary. This can be a minimalist excision of a small amount of lower eyelid skin to a surprisingly aggressive skin muscle flap that truly seems to be outside the concept of a "skin pinch." The take home lession here is to get clear with your surgeon what precisely they have in mind with your surgery. It is not enough for the surgeon to throw around buzz words. If you are not sure or not comfortable (presumably this is why you are posting on Realself.com) get further consultation with your surgeon. If you are not satisfied, do not have surgery with this surgeon.

MACS lift eye distortion
The extended MACS lift (also called a mini-lift, purse string suture face lift, Minimal Access Cosmetic surgery) risks distortion of the lower lid if not carefully done.
- The lower eyelid 'pinch' trims skin as part of the Extended MACS lift.
- It can leave skin too tight,
- The extended MACS lift cheek-to-outer eye suture can cause distortions,
- MACS lift results are ok but rarely as good as traditional face lifts.
MACS Lift and Lower Eyelid Pinch
The MACS lift and pinch excision of excess lower eyeld skin should not adversely effect eyelid shape. However, what will be done to improve the appearance of the upper eyelid scars you describe?

MACS Facift with lower eyelid Pinch
A lower eyelid skin-pinch is commonly performed with a MACS-Lift, short-scar face lift.
MACS-lifting results in a vertical redrapment of your skin, and this tends to lead to bunching of excess skin in your lower eyelids. So this lower lid skin is typically excised after the MACS-lift has been performed, so this skin excess may be evaluated. This is not meant to change the shape of your eye or produce a "cat-like" appearance.
Since you're from Belgium, you should go for a consultation with Dr. Tonnard or Dr. Verpaele. These surgeons are excellent (I observed Dr. Verpaele in their state-of-the-art surgicenter). They also literally wrote the book on MACS-lifting. Their experience is vast, and I recommend either surgeon without any hesitation.
All the best from New Jersey.

Over the years, disabled comedian Lauren Clark has performed in some strange venues, and in a recent blog he describes the time when he was approached to open a Conservative party event – as a warm-up act for David Cameron.
Back in 2006, not long after 'Dave' became leader of the Tory party, Clark received an email inviting him to perform at a seminar on future disability policy. Basically they wanted the comedian to do ten minutes of comedy and then pose for the press with their new leader. Clark's assumption was that this was part of an attempt to make Dave look more "diverse".
However, not only were the tight-fisted Tories unwilling to pay him for his troubles, they weren't even prepared to cover his travel and access expenses (perhaps this was an early pilot for the Tories' current "voluntary" work scheme!).
But Clark couldn't leave it there and recalls: "So I emailed back my agent at the time, saying I'd still do it anyway as – and these were my exact words – it was "a golden opportunity to piss off the Tories." But just as I hit the 'Send' button, I felt a sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach. This was down to my sudden realisation that I'd accidentally selected 'Reply to All' and directly emailed Tory Party HQ too. Needless to say, I got a swift response saying my services were no longer required. I can't for the life of me think why!"

Benchmarking the Health Sector in Germany – An Application of Data Envelopment Analysis
At present, a first round of hospital benchmarking as required by German law on health care reform takes place. After extensive discussions between hospitals and insurance companies, which are jointly responsible to deliver benchmarking results, a method with some peculiar characteristics was chosen. In this paper it is argued that the deficiencies of said method could be overcome by using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). The reasons that make DEA an advisable tool for policy decisions within the context of relative performance evaluation in the health care sector are discussed. In order to illustrate the potential of nonparametric frontier estimation for hospital benchmarking in Germany, a comparison of hospitals, which provide the same basic clinical care, is carried out. Controlling for differences in the case mix and for possible heterogeneity of the services which hospitals provide, substantial productivity differences can be detected. Beyond simply identifying inefficient providers DEA leads to additional insight about the reasons of inefficiency and to useful management implications.

Picketers protest outside nursing home
Fri, 08 Jun 2012 11:24:04 GMT —
Workers at a Camp Point nursing home plan to protest conditions of their residents this afternoon.
According to a press release from SEIU Healthcare Illinois & Indiana, picketers will line the street outside Timber Point Nursing Home to protest the owner and management's failure to provide adequate supplies and staffing levels to properly care for residents.
Workers cite torn bibs and shortages of towels and diapers as some of the issues. Picketers are also protesting their pay.
In response to the day's events, Timber Point Healthcare Center, LLC issued the following statement:
"We are unsure what the union¹s intentions and goals are that would have prompted the informational picketing. The fact is that there has not, as yet, been a single negotiating session between Timber Point and the union, nor has one even been scheduled, by agreement, as we must wait for the underlying master agreement to be finalized.
There have been no demands, no discussions nor requests. The only communication that has been received was a request to have a meeting regarding supplies. This was agreed to by administration. To date the union has not offered a time for this meeting.
Our facility has faithfully served Camp Point, Quincy and its surrounding communities for nearly 50 years. The very idea that supplies are not available, or the notion that any of the other, now published, complaints have any validity, is both laughable and an insult to the facility and its residents.
This action can only be viewed as an attempt, by the union, to stir up a pot, in advance of negotiations, where no such pot exists. We value the hard work and dedication of all our employees and look forward to negotiations when they can be scheduled to begin."
Adam Zanger, Administrator

Ystad, Skane, Sweden, 2012/01/26 - AVEVA (LSE: AVV) will be a featured presenter at the upcoming EUEC (Energy, Utility and Environment Conference) 2012. The event takes place January 30 February 1 at the Phoenix Convention Center in Phoenix, AZ - AVEVA.com.
AVEVA discusses roadmap for the implementation of the Next Generation Energy Management Information Solution
AVEVAs Sloane Whiteley, Senior Business Consultant, will present Roadmap for implementation of the Next Generation Energy Management Information Solution. The presentation will illustrate how, by implementing an Energy Management Information System (EMIS), process intensive facilities can translate plant data into timely, actionable information. Plant decision-makers will realize cost savings and more accurately adhere to ISO energy management standards, such as the ISO 14000 series and the upcoming ISO 50001 for energy management systems. AVEVAs presentation will explain the functional, physical and process components of the next generation EMIS, the anticipated benefits at the enterprise, facility and individual stakeholder level, as well as provide a phased implementation roadmap for such a system.
Energy costs form a large portion of the operating costs of any plant, said Whiteley. Thats even more true at process intensive facilities such as refineries, power plants and pulp & paper mills. Quoted industry data indicates that energy costs can be upwards of 25% of the operational costs of the plant. AVEVA (aveva.com) will share its experience in how to get these costs under control and to make sure each energy dollar is spent in the most efficient way possible via the use of a new generation of Energy Management Information Solutions built around a Digital Information Hub.
Whiteley explained,This Digital Information Hub brings together in one central and easy-to-use system all the relevant energy consumption information from every area of the plant. This means plant decision-makers can have the right information they need at the right time to make informed business decisions regarding the use of energy at their facility. This leads to more efficient energy use and cost savings across the entire plant. With oil and natural gas prices as volatile as they have been in recent years, the EMIS gives plant managers and executives a valuable tool to reign in energy costs by eliminating inefficiencies.

Levallois-Perret, Hauts-de-Seine, France, 2015/04/24 - Alstom and Vietnam Electricity (EVN) officially inaugurated a state-of-the-art gas turbine reconditioning workshop, located in the Phu My district - Alstom.com. FR0010220475; ALO
Alstom and Vietnam Electricity (EVN) officially inaugurated a state-of-the-art gas turbine reconditioning workshop, located in the Phu My district, in presence of Mr Hoang Trung Hai, Deputy Prime Minister of Vietnam, Mr Duong Quang Thanh, Chairman of the Members Council of EVN and Michael Rechsteiner, Senior Vice President Thermal Services at Alstom. It is the first reconditioning workshop in Vietnam and the first for Alstoms network in Asia.
This 22 million[1] euros facility, which is part of the joint-venture formed in 2012 between Alstom and EVN, will create about 150 new jobs. It is 5,500 square metres and houses the latest machinery for the reconditioning of hot gas path parts, many of which are available for the first time in South-East Asia. At full capacity, the workshop will be able to refurbish several hundred sets of gas turbine components per year. It is already setting the benchmark in terms of EHS (Environment, Health and Safety), with some 2,000 hours of trainings in the past year, and a total of 500 days without LTAs (Lost Time Accidents) since the beginning of operation in December 2013.
Establishing this reconditioning workshop is part of a major long term investment in Vietnam and shows our commitment bringing local capabilities to this fast growing region. Having a reconditioning workshop located in the heart of Asia is instrumental for Alstoms continued growth in the region, said Michael Rechsteiner, Senior Vice President Thermal Services at Alstom.
About the Joint Venture
The Joint Venture (JV) was first formed in 2012, the result of over 20 years of cooperation and understanding between the two partners. The JV is established by and between three parties: Phu My Thermal Power Company, Alstom Asia Pacific and Alstom Vietnam. It is located in Phu My town, Tan Thanh district, Ba Ria Vung Tau Province. The objective of the JV is to provide reconditioning services locally to EVN customers and for export under Alstom network. EVN provides key components while Alstom contributes with its technology and other services to increase current activities in Phu My. Among the other partnerships between Alstom and EVN are thermal power plants, like the Phu My gas-fired power plant, and major hydro projects such as the Son La (2400 MW), the largest hydropower plant in South East Asia, and Lai chau (1200 MW), Huoi quang (520 MW). Besides, Alstom and EVN agreed to establish training programmes for EVN engineers and work together to deploy online monitoring of power plants, reducing fuel consumption and improving plant efficiency.

When the George W. Bush Presidential Center — with the Presidential Library and Museum, plus the Bush Institute — opened on the University Park campus of Southern Methodist University in early May, it marked the seventh project on which Fort Worth-based interior designer Ken Blasingame had worked with the Bush family. Over the years, he has become Laura Bush's go-to decorator.
Blasingame first met George and Laura Bush in 1989. They were introduced by mutual friends and the Bushes hired Blasingame to do some work on their home in Dallas.
It led to Blasingame working on public and private quarters for both Bush homes in Dallas (before and after public service), the Texas Governor's Mansion in Austin, the White House, Camp David and the Bushes' Crawford ranch.
Designing rooms in the Bush Institute was another one of the hybrid personal-public facilities in which he specializes. It also marked what might be the last big building project for Blasingame and the Bushes.
Because Blasingame had always been mute on the subject of his projects for the Bush family — never, ever talking about his role as first designer — he was finally rewarded. On a recent day at the Bush Center, Laura Bush sang his praises, and Blasingame talked about their many endeavors culminating in the Bush Center.
"I want you to know how talented I think Ken is," says the former first lady. "He is also brilliant at making pretty rooms, which is just what we like."
Oval Office
One of the first orders of business after George Bush won the presidential election in 2000, even before he had been sworn in, was to put his stamp on the Oval Office. Each president has been encouraged to make the Oval Office his own by designing a new carpet, picking out a desk, sofas and chairs, and hanging artwork that reflects his tastes and personality.
"George likes to tell about one of the very first phone calls he received after he became president-elect," recounts Laura Bush. "It was from the curator at the White House, who asked him, 'What rug do you want in the Oval Office?' George said, 'I knew I was going to have to make a lot of decisions, but I didn't know I was going to have to make that kind of decision.' So he delegated it to Ken and me, saying, 'I want the rug and design of the Oval Office to look like an optimistic person offices here.'"
Visitors to the Bush Library can see an exact replica of Bush's Oval Office with the cream-colored rug that Laura Bush and Blasingame designed, with rays emanating from the circular presidential seal and with a laurel-leaf border. The re-created room has been thoroughly researched, so that it is accurate down to the exact number of decorative nailheads used on the upholstered side chairs.
There is a fastidious attention to this kind of detail that is ingrained after working on the Governor's Mansion and the White House. Blasingame found that with any additions to rooms in historic houses, whether it's additions of furniture, upholstery or even the decorative trinkets, "You want it to be authentic. You have to be as accurate as can be."
A desire for authenticity led Laura Bush and Blasingame to tackle the Lincoln Bedroom at the White House. Blasingame says, "It is the most accurate Lincoln Bedroom that ever existed."
He can say this with impunity, as there never was a Lincoln bedroom. There was the room on the second floor in which Lincoln officed. (The West Wing, with the presidential Oval Office as we know it today, was built during Franklin D. Roosevelt's administration). There was a highly ornate Victorian bed that Mary Todd Lincoln had bought for the White House, a sample of the wallpaper, and photographs of the rug that had been in Lincoln's office on record with the White House archives.
Blasingame and Laura Bush cobbled together all the known artifacts and reference materials and assembled a room that was accurate to the Lincoln era. The heavy draperies that hang above the bed, the settees donated by the Winterthur Museum, and the fireplace are all appropriate to the time. The public can see the renovation of the Lincoln Bedroom, because it is documented with before-and-after photographs in the Bush Library.
The Bush Center
Blasingame, who was on the design committee for the Bush Center, was consulted on many of the choices made for the public rooms. He also designed the presidential offices and reception hall, private rooms in the Bush Institute, and a living room and large and small dining rooms for the Bushes' personal use. They will be used for invitation-only receptions; as such, they had to have a public presence.
"The Bush Library didn't have a great budget," says Blasingame, "but we still needed the aura of 'presidential,' so we went with a good selection of antique reproductions."
Vestiges of White House projects show up in the small dining room. Here the Gracie wallpaper is the same pattern that was used in the Vermeil Room's foyer to the ladies' room in the White House.
In a private reception area next to the dining room is one of Van Cliburn's personal black grand pianos, donated after the Fort Worth pianist died in February by his survivor and longtime companion, Thomas Smith. (Smith donated another one to the Smithsonian Institution.)
The larger dining room has the same chairs with drawer-pull handles on their backs to facilitate one-handed maneuvering. Blasingame ordered 46 of them to service large parties.
The large print of Washington With His Generals in George Bush's office belongs to Blasingame. It will be replaced by a print similar to one in the Lincoln Bedroom at the White House.
The midcentury desk was found in Dallas; Laura Bush is fond of midcentury furniture, says Blasingame, so while it might seem an anomaly, it is in keeping with the couple's personal tastes.
The oval reception room has 19th-century lacquered tables, American side chairs and a pair of empire-style mirrors that Blasingame found in San Francisco. He happened upon the bust of George Washington in Austin.
The White House might be considered America's House, but to furnish the Bush Center, Blasingame had to shop the entire nation. Now that the final pieces are being installed, he can finally talk about the projects and the relationship he has with the Bushes.
Nevertheless, he is still guarded. Over the years, they have become more than his clients.
"We are very close friends as well," says Laura Bush.

"Girl power" is something the Spice Girls promoted back in the '90s, but we're seeing a wave of female empowerment campaigns gaining popularity today.
Huge international brands are a big part of this. The "Real Beauty Sketches" video by Dove resonated positively with online audiences for showing how women perceive themselves too critically. Another video that went viral was Pantene Philippines' "Labels Against Women," an ad that shows how women are being treated with double-standards in the professional world.
Artists in the music industry are also in on the female empowerment trend. John Legend's recent music video "You & I" is nothing like "Blurred Lines," and Colbie Caillat's "Try" is definitely no "Wrecking Ball." Rather, the two artists follow in the footsteps of brand marketers by featuring confident women to encourage and empower others -- as opposed to objectifying them wearing nothing but heels.
Enter Entrepreneur Barbie. She hit the shelves as part of the toy maker Mattel's "I Can Be" career campaign. It is a campaign aimed, as the company noted, "to encourage girls to also learn about this role." She also just joined the popular professional social network, LinkedIn.
Barbie a good role model for girls?
According to Chapman University, there are two Barbie dolls sold every second. The franchise also makes an estimated $1.3 billion in annual sales. But many argue that Barbie is not the best role model for girls.
There has been much talk about the unrealistic beauty standards set by the doll and recreations of what it would like if it depicted the body size of the average teenage girl. Furthermore, a 2014 study showed how 37 U.S. girls aged 4-7 years played with Barbie for 5 minutes, and they said that boys could do more jobs in the future than they could -- even if they play with the "career-focused, doctor version of the doll." Girls who played with Mrs. Potato Head, on the other hand, responded that they could do about the same number of jobs as boys someday.
Jessica Abrahams of Prospect Magazine thinks that the problem with Entrepreneur Barbie, even as a presidential candidate, doctor, or entrepreneur, is more about how she looks than anything else. She fears that the doll may be encouraging young girls to believe that you have to meet the standard of beauty being set by the doll to achieve much in life.
Entrepreneur Barbie May Offer Some Changes
Some commentators lauded Entrepreneur Barbie as a step in the right direction for Mattel. Jennifer Fleiss, co-founder of Rent the Runway, says that she encourages her to "believe that women can have it all -- a career, a family, and a great wardrobe." Reshma Saujani, founder of Girls Who Code, also told TechCrunch that these dolls are inspiring "a generation of young women to start running businesses."
Debbie Sterling, founder and CEO of GoldieBlox, another toy company who also markets to young girls, noted that while Barbie may have represented mostly fashion and frivolity in the past, having Mattel promote entrepreneurship and career advancement today is a refreshment.
Will Barbie on LinkedIn have any effect?
Shortly after the new version of Barbie was released, the creators put up a LinkedIn page for it. It showed that Barbie has had 150 different careers, with a pink linked resume to boot.
But Barbie's target demographic is hardly the most active LinkedIn user. The social network will have no direct influence on little girls, given that it is a site for working professionals and two-thirds of its users are over the age of 35. It is most likely a marketing ploy attempting to mimic the success of other girl power marketing campaigns on social media, and for adults to buy a new toy for their daughters, not necessarily to influence girls in a direct way.
Whether Barbie is a good role model for children or not is every parent's decision to make. After all, no doll -- or any toy for that matter -- can be a substitute for parents, who are the ones who should be the instilling any moral values and helping children build their self-esteem. And while we're at it, let's start cutting down their time on gadgets and boosting kids' confidence by limiting Internet use.

¡Dos! is the tenth studio album by the America's favroite punk rock band that they love to hate, Green Day. The album was released on November 13 in the United States through Reprise Records. It is the second of three albums in the ¡Uno! ¡Dos! ¡Tré! trilogy. Differing from its predecessor's pop punk style, ¡Dos! was billed as Green Day's take on garage rock. Does it succeed? Read on and we shall see.
I call Green Day America's favorite band that they love to hate because much like Metallica, they tend to earn the ire of many listeners due to their tendency to stray from the beat path of their chosen musical genre. We can be an unforgiving lot when a band chooses to experiment with unfamiliar sounds outside of the established genre. Green Day has made a habit of doing ever since they put out "Good Riddance." On ¡Dos! they keep in the spirit of decidedly being very un-punk as they try to establish the aforementioned garage rock sound.
The first song, "See You Tonight," is a sweet little introductory ditty. Billie Joe Armstrong strums his acoustic guitar lightly while singing in an almost folk-ish tone. Think Paul Simon from Simon and Garfunkel. It's a lot of repetition and simple chords and it sets up the listener for the rest of the album, which is decidedly not your typical punk rock album.
From there we go to "Fuck Time," and oh baby, baby it is indeed "Fuck Time!" Aside from the crass title of the song, it is an awfully catchy straight up rock song. I found myself singing this one throughout the day even when I wasn't listening to the album. It did what it was supposed to do in that stood out from the rest of the album and caught my attention early. If terrestrial radio can get away with playing it due to the chorus (and why not, since they play "Killing in the Name Of") then Green Day certainly have a solid hit on their hands here.
"Stop When the Red Lights Flash," follows in a similar vein as the aforementioned. "Fuck Time." This is Green Day playing pretty standard rock music with catchy hooks and choruses. I mean, you can't go wrong with, "I'll make you surrender…" It worked just fine more or less for Cheap Trick.
"Lazy Bones," is a pretty great rock song. It takes the same lyrical tone from "Longview," about being bored with life but sets it to a more upbeat and enjoyal rhythm.
Two other songs that really stood out for me and are worth owning the whole album for are "Nightlife," which features guest vocals from Lady Cobra (of the band Mystic Knights of the Cobra). This particular song is slower and darker than most Green Day songs and certainly on this album itself. One of the elements that make it stand out is that Lady Cobra raps in the middle of the song, which at first was a bit jarring but after I got used to it, definitely added a nice dimension to the sound. ¡Dos! also includes a track called "Lady Cobra", which is dedicated to her. It is probably my favorite track on the whole album, despite the fact that it sounds distinctly like, "Fell In Love With A Girl," by the White Stripes.
Lastly, Green Day ends ¡Dos! with a track dedicated to and about the departed Amy Winehouse. While I don't particularly agree with the sentiment, I certainly can see why these guys appreciate this woman and would write essentially a love song to her. It's a nice gesture and a pretty song. That's all it had to be and in that it was successful.
The 411: ¡Dos! doesn't necessarily break new ground nor will it change music as we know it. However, Green Day did a good job of writing some fairly memorable and/or catchy songs that one might enjoy on a long commute to work or while playing on the internet. Mission accomplished!

Yeadon Fire Department: Smoke Detector is everyday living
Yeadon's fire chief has elected to offer another collection of timely safety suggestions. Chief Craig Jeffries has shared the information that occupants within structures protected by a Smoke Detector have a 50% greater chance of survival in fire. His ideal collection of proper installations of these life-saving tools-of-survival includes a Smoke Detector installed in each sleeping area, every 30 feet in long hallways, as close as possible to bedrooms.
The bedroom is an important location for Smoke Detectors because of an unfortunate statistic. Chief Jeffries shared the finding that 55% of all home fire fatalities occur in the bedroom. Approximately 35% of these victims were asleep at the time of the fire; half of all home fire fatalities occur between the hours of 10 p.m. and 6 a.m.
Yeadon's fire chief explained other reasons for a bedroom Smoke Detector installation, "It is recommended to sleep with bedroom doors closed as a step in limiting the spread of a fire. A closed door will reduce the sound of hallway Smoke Detector alerting sound almost in half."
One area within the home, with its supporting 41% of report residential fires is the kitchen; these fires also result in 15% of home fire fatalities. Joining good cooking practices as a prevention tool, is the knowledge of simple but effective cooking safety.
Any fires burning either cooking oil or the pans contents, can be safely extinguished by using a flat surface, such as a large frying pan or a flat cookie sheet. Begin by creating an imaginary hinge at joining of edge of the "on-fire" and the flat, extinguishing flat item nearest to the extinguish cook. Slowly lower the flat, covering item away from the cook. Chief Jeffries added, "Be super patient and avoid the temptation to see if the fire is extinguished. Please wait until the pan on the stove and its cool . . . and then wait a bit longer."
Cooking often ends with entertaining. These two activities each have "uniforms" and entertaining attire, often with its loose-fitting clothes, is dangerous in the kitchen. This party attire can make contact with a hot cooking surface and begin burning, seriously injuring the cook. Through proper planning, there will be sufficient time for pre-event cooking and time to "dress for the role of hostess."
The location of kitchen-area Smoke Detectors and their type of life-and property protector is important. A byproduct of cooking is steam or vapors which can falsely give an audible indication of a fire. To avoid this false
warning, kitchen-based Smoke Detectors incorporate a "hush button. This feature temporarily lessens the sensitivity, which aids in avoiding the temptation to silence the sound by removing the battery.
When the alert-production is eliminated by removing the power source, there is no assurance this lost power will be restored. Some experts suggest a kitchen Smoke Detector installation should be within the protection area, but as far as possible from any vapor or steam sources.
While there are frequent advertisements feature new and stylish cooking utensils. The Yeadon Fire Company would like to see these advertising feature the stylish fire extinguishers created for kitchen use. Chief Jeffries added, "Kitchen fire extinguishers should be mounted near the favored entrance leading into the kitchen and away from a possible fire area.
Often forgotten is the area of a residence is the "social' or living area. Although only 4% of home fires start in the living room, family room, or den, these fires cause 24% of deaths. After the bedroom, most smoking-related fires occur in the living room. Typically, abandoned or carelessly discarded smoking materials ignite trash, bedding or upholstery. In an alternative application of the national safety slogan, 'Smoking Kills," as do fires. A properly installed Smoke Detector often becomes an end of the evening watch dog.Concluding this exploration into Family Safety, Yeadon Fire Chief Craig Jeffries stressed, "Being safe is no accident. To be successful, safety must be practiced in every action and activity in our daily living and work. There can be no 'short cuts in safety' "
History of the Yeadon Fire Company #1 Station 16
The company was founded on April 15, 1904 by a group of 12 men who held a series of meetings in various citizens homes. The first activities of the Yeadon fire company included cake bakes and other fund-raising projects to get enough money for fire equipment. A few months after organizing, the company was able to purchase its first fire apparatus, a horse-drawn hose cart. When horses were not available, the cart was pulled by men who labeled it ''old grunt an groan.'' The men soon found a way to make certain that a lack of horses was a rarity. They came up with a plan that made the borough's teamsters and liverymen as enthusiastic in answering fire alarms as were the volunteers. The first man with a horse at the firehouse after the sound of the alarm was paid a flat fee of $2 for pulling the cart. The system worked until 1922, when the fire company purchased its first motorized fire apparatus, a three-quarter ton REO truck. The members themselves worked to convert the truck into a chemical and hose fire apparatus. In fact, they also used the truck to pull the hose cart. In 1926, the fire company acquired a Ford chassis. A wooden hose body was built by one of the members and "old grunt and groan'' was retired from service.
"We started formal training in 1929 with the Philadelphia Fire Department," they said, and with Chester in 1930. Then in 1939 the fire company went in for formal training in a big way and had continuous instructions since. The fire company sends men to the Pennsylvania Fire Training School in Lewistown and to the regional and county training schools. It has five men acting as instructors in the county school at Ridley Park and has been in charge of Ladder classes at the school since 1948. Another facet of fire protection lauded by the fire company is the location of the fire hydrants. ''They are located around the borough so that they're within 500 feet of each other,'' The firefighter explained the hydrants afforded good access to any dwelling fire in the borough and that the fire company would use suction pumps to draw from the waterways and lakes only in the event of extreme emergency. In the early 1930's the fire company had 2 motorized pumpers and a ladder truck.
History of Apparatus:
The First new motorized piece of apparatus was purchased in 1915. This was a pumper.
In 1929, the fire company purchased a American LaFrance 750GPM Pumper.
In December 1937, the fire company moved into the current firehouse, beneath the borough hall.
In 1945 and 1947 the fire company purchased Mack Pumpers.
In 1948, the fire company purchased their first ambulance, a 1948 Studdebaker.
In 1956, the fire company purchased an 85ft Seagrave ladder truck. This truck served the community until 1980.
In 1957, the fire company purchased a Cadillac ambulance.
In 1959, the fire company purchased their first rescue truck, which was placed in service in 1960 and served the community until 1982.
In 1969, the fire company purchased their first closed cab pumper, a Seagrave 1000 Gallon Per Minute pump, with automatic transmission. This truck served the community until 1990.
In 1973, the fire company purchased their first Van Ambulance, which was a chevy, and also the first Lime Yellow piece of apparatus.
In 1975, the fire company purchased a Ward LaFrance 1500 Gallon Per Minute pump, fully enclosed cab. The Ward was the first fully enclosed cab in Delaware County. Also the fire company purchased their first box ambulance, a Horton, which was the first box ordered in Delaware County.
In 1979, the fire company purchased a GMC Emergency One Pumper (16-4), a 500 Gallon Per Minute attack piece. This piece was housed on the 75th anniversary, and served the community until 1997.
In 1980, the fire company purchased a 106ft E-One ladder truck (Ladder 16-5) that served the community until 2006.
In 1982, the fire company purchased a Chevy E-One rescue truck with an air bank (Rescue 16-6). This piece of apparatus served the community until 2000.
In 1986, the fire company purchased a Braun Ambulance.
In 1990, the fire company purchased 2 identical Pumpers (Engine 16-1 and Engine 16-2), American Eagle 1750 Gallon Per Minute Pumpers. This purchased marked another first in Delaware County for the fire company. At this point the fire company finally had all Lime Yellow apparatus.
In 1993, the fire company hosted the Delaware County Fireman's Convention as part of the Yeadon Borough's Centennial Celebration.
In 1999, the fire company purchased a new Horton Ambulance (16-7). This piece served the community until 2008.
In 2000 the fire company purchased a Hammer / Freightliner Rescue truck (Rescue 16) and a Hammer/ Ford attack/utility truck (Tac 16). The Tac still serve the community. The Rescue served the community until 2013.
In 2004, the fire company had our 100 year Celebration and placed in service a 2004 GMC Horton Ambulance (16-7A).
In 2007, the fire company purchased a 2007 Lifeline Ambulance (16-7A) that still served the community.
In 2008, the fire company purchased a 2008 Seagrave 100ft Force aerial with a prepiped waterway and the fire company also purchased a 2008 Lifeline Ambulance (Medic 16-7). Both trucks still serve the community.
In 2010, the fire company purchased a 2009 Ford Explorer to service as the Command Unit. It was placed in Service in March as (Command 16).
In 2012, the fire company purchased a 2012 KME Engine 1750 Gallon Per Minute Pumpers (Engine 16),Also in 2012, the fire company purchased a 2012 ford pickup (Utility 16).

- Restaurants - Typical Products - Services -
Mantua is a thriving productive centre
on the Padana Plain, whose land is
shaped by the slow and sinuous courses
of its rivers, the Po and the Mincio.
The calm, expansive waters of the latter envelope almost the whole city. The environs of Mantua are graced with many parks and thickly wooded areas, where a variety of rare flora and fauna can be found. Towards the north the gently sloping hills of Garda rise unexpectedly, which not only bave natural beauty, but also historical interest.
On the atmospheric lakes of Mantua tourist boats follow the lower course of the Mincio (the only Italian river that is navigable all year round). These boats pass by San Benedetto, Revere, Ferrara over to Venice and into the Adriatic Sea.

You may have seen a new proposal for a "mobile" top-level domain name for use by something called "mobile users" whatever they are. (The domain will not actually be named .mobile, rumours are they are hoping for a coveted one-letter TLD like .m "to make it easier to type on a mobile phone.)
Centuries ago, as trademark law began its evolution, we learned one pretty strong rule about building rules for a name system for commerce, and even for non-commerce.
Nobody should be given ownership of generic terms. Nobody should have ownership rights in a generic word like "apple" -- not Apple Computer, not Apple Records, not the Washington State Apple Growers, not a man named John Apple.
Rather, generics must be shared. Ownership rights can accrue to them only in specific contexts that are not generic. Because the word "Apple" has no generic meaning when it comes to computers, we allow a company to get rights in that name when applied to computers. A different company has those rights when it applies to records. More than this, different parties could own the same term with the same context in two different cities. There is probably a "China Delight" restaurant in your town.
We hammered out the rules to manage such naming systems literally over centuries, with many laws and zillions of court cases.
Then, when DNS came along we (and I include myself since I endorsed it at the time) threw it all away. We said, when it came to naming on the internet, we would create generic top level domains, and let people own generic names within them.
Thus, "com" for commerce has within it "drugstore.com." Centuries of law establshed nobody could own the generic word "drugstore" but when it comes to names used on the internet, we reversed that. No wonder that company paid near a million for that domain as I recall, and at the record, the inflated number of 7.5 million was paid for business.com
The old TLDs have that mistake built into them. On the internet, we are the only EFF organization because we were first. Nobody else can be that.
The new TLDs continue that trend. Be it .museum, which allows one body to control the generic word museum, or a new proposal for .mobile.
Because of this, people fight over the names, pay huge sums, sue and insist only one name is right for them.
I maintain that the only way to get a competitive innovative space is to slowly get rid of the generics and allow a competitive space of branded TLDs for resale. .yahoo, .dunn, .yellowpages, .google, .wipo, and a hundred other branded resellers competing on on even footing to create value in their brand and win customers with innovative designs, better service, lower prices and all the usual things. I presume .wipo would offer trademark holders powerful protections within their domain. Let them. Perhaps .braddomains would, when you bought a domain, give you every possible typo and homonym for your domain so people who hear it on the radio won't get it wrong typing it in. Perhaps .centraal (former, non-generic name of the now defunct "RealNames" company) would follow their keyword rules. I know .frankston would offer permanent numeric IDs to all. Let them all innovate, let them all compete.
We're nowhere near this system, but I didn't just make up the idea of not owning generics. I think centuries of experience shows it is the best way to go. I wrote this today in response to the .mobile proposal, but you can also find much more on the ideas in my site of DNS essays including this plan to break up ICANN, and essays on generics and also the goals we have for a domain system

One our featured sponsors this month is the lovely Joanna from ModaMama. Today she's sharing with you a sneak peek under the hood of a fashion blogger! So take a moment to get to know her better and be sure you enter to win a Medium Ad Space on her lovely site below!
Hey guys, I'm Joanna from ModaMama. I'm talking about your skivvies today! As a fashion/style blogger I read other blogs for inspiration. Lately, I've come to realize that no blogger, not one, has talked about their underwear. Underwear can make or break an outfit, but it's something no one talks about.
I honestly think that sometimes, it's more important than your shoes! Now, don't worry. You're not going to see any photos of me in my underwear. Just 'cause I wear it, doesn't mean I want to show you. But I will talk honestly about it.
With shorts you might think you can wear anything you like. But these shorts are made from a soft material that glides. So if I wore those simple cotton undies that cut my bum *oh come on! You know you have them!* it would look really bad. These required seamless panties.
Also, you should note I don't wear things unless I absolutely have to. I know some women swear by them and find them super comfy. I'm not one of them. No thank you!
Loose dress like this? Same deal as the shorts because it's a silky material. The material would show my bum and hips cut into as I moved and that would ruin the line. Now I can pose just so for a photo, but I'm talking about real life.
Now here's an outfit you can wear your cotton, "today-is-laundry-day" underwear with. This dress has a full pleated skirt and is made from a stiff, heavy cotton. This puppy isn't showing anything! In fact, I'm wearing my plain, pink cotton undies right here. That's riiight!
Okay, now this dress was a challenge! I wore a nude strapless bra since the dress spaghetti strapped. And I wore nude, tight booty short underwear. In this case I did too good a job. See, the dress is slightly sheer, and when the light shone just right you could see the outline of my body giving the distinct illusion that I'm nude underneath. So even though I was totally covered up beneath it, I looked very exposed. This dress is an example of intentionally choosing the wrong underwear. In this case, I'm going to wear this dress with a half slip so that it's visible that I'm not indeed nude.
Hope you liked getting underneath the hood of a fashion blogger!
I like to leave a gift when I visit someplace. So I'm offering one lucky reader a medium ad space on ModaMama. Thanks for having me!
Don't you just love her?
You know you want to hang out on her sidebar next month, so to enter, simply fill out the Rafflecopter form below! Good luck!

Plains Exploration & Production is hiring two of Noble Drilling's ultra-deepwater drillships on order in South Korea in contracts worth about $1.4billion.
This would appear to build the company's already considerable contracts back-log to more than $15billion
The Noble Sam Croft and the Noble Tom Madden are being built on fixed-price contracts at Hyundai Heavy Industries and are expected to start out working mostly in the deepwater sector of the US Gulf of Mexico.
Noble Sam Croft is scheduled to be delivered in Q2 next year, followed closely by the Noble Tom Madden, which is expected to be delivered in the second half.
The Plains contracts . . . each is to run for three years . . . means that all four of the super-drillships ordered from Hyundai now have work on their books.
"With the addition of these units to our US Gulf of Mexico fleet, Noble will have one of the most modern and capable fleets in the region, a fact that demonstrates the fundamental change going on across the company," said David Williams, who is chairman, president and CEO all rolled into one at Noble.
"At the same time, these contracts provide us with significant additional backlog, while expanding and diversifying our customer base as we grow our relationship with an important new customer."
Just the day prior to the contracts announcement, Williams reported a total backlog at March 31 of some $14billion compared to $14.3billion at December 31, 2012. At the end of the Q1 this year, approximately 74% of the company's available rig operating days were committed for the remainder of 2013, including 79% of floating rig days and 76% of jack-up rig days.
"For 2014, an estimated 55% of the available rig operating days were committed, including 71% and 50% of the floating and jack-up rig days, respectively," he said.
The four vessels placed with Hyundai are all based on the proven Hyundai Gusto P10000 hull design, which is designed to be capable of operations in water depths to 3,657m (12,000ft) and offering a variable deck load of 20,000 tonnes.
Noble Sam Croft and Noble Tom Madden will be fully equipped to initially operate in water depths to 3,048m (10,000ft). Each will carry two complete six-ram BOP (blow-out preventer) systems for their drilling packages.
The sisters will also be equipped with a 165-ton heave compensated construction cranes to facilitate deployment of subsea production equipment.
The four sisters are part of a much wider build programme that currently also includes six high-spec jack-ups.

text: Milton Paddock, a young and progressive farmer and citizen of White River Township, was born March 10, 1860, and is the son of John and Elizabeth Ann (Cox) Paddock. The father was born in Preble County, Ohio, August 1, 1823, and was the son of Elijah and Ruth Paddock, unto whom were born six children, namely: Louis, Mary, John, Myram, Sarah and Anderson. John Paddock came to Indiana in 1845, and settled in Morgan County. January 26, 1846, he was married unto Jane Burns, a native of Marion County, and who continued to be his companion till 1858, when she was called away by death. February 10, 1859, he married for a second wife, Elizabeth Ann Cox, daughter of Paul and Mary (Matthews) Cox. He was a native of Pennsylvania, and she of Carolina, and both came to Indiana in early life, and were married in this state. Elizabeth Ann, the mother of our subject, was born in Morgan County, Ind., October 8, 1836. Three children: Milton, Mary and Frank, were born unto John and Elizabeth Ann Paddock's marriage. Their parents settled in this county, immediately after their marriage, and the father's death occurred here January 23, 1876. The mother resides in Marion County. Her son, the subject of this sketch, was but a small boy when his father died, but his mother continued to live on the homestead, where Milton was reared. His early education was received in the common schools, and was finished by a two terms' course in the normal school of Danville, Ind. September 3, 1882, he married Lula Bell, the daughter of Josiah and Margaret Bell. She was born in Adams County, Ill., February 29, 1864. Unto the above marriage have been born two children, John and Evert. After Mr. Paddock's marriage he settled down in life and began agricultural pursuits, in which he has been actively engaged. He and wife are members of the Christian Church.

Fear Of Crime Causing Neighbors To Join Forces
It's the fear of an increase in crime that caused neighbors in Licking County to form block watch groups.
Licking County resident Kim Workman said she moved to the Shalimar neighborhood in Licking County more than a dozen years ago for some peace and quiet. But, she said that changed one day in February.
"It's a bullet hole in my cedar siding. It stopped because of the block foundation of my house," said Workman.
She said seeing that bullet hole prompted her to take action, "to save my family, to make sure they're safe, to make sure my neighbors are safe."
The very next day, Workman said she passed out flyers to start a block watch and had an immediate response. She said a third of her neighborhood is already actively participating.
"So, we could be putting our eyes and ears together to stop whatever might be coming into our neighborhood," said Workman.
The Shalimar block watch is the latest of eight block watch groups to be put together in Licking County.
The deputy who's spear-heading the effort says they're open to any neighborhood in the county. In fact, he says two more are in the works to be established.
"I want to make the community more aware of what's going on, what's going on in their surroundings," said Dep. Rob Barr, with the Licking County Sheriff's Office.
Barr said it's important for people to report anything suspicious, keep their houses well lighted and to check on any neighbors.
Workman said she embraced the advice.
"If it stops that person from pulling in, and harming myself or one of my neighbors, then it's not wasted time at all," said Workman.
Barr suggests people interested in starting a block watch in Licking County to contact him the Sheriff's Department at 740-670-5555.

Chinese police have arrested more than 15,000 people to date for cyber crimes, including hacking and fraud, while activists said the crackdown is also linked to the ruling Chinese Communist Party's ongoing war on online public opinion.
"More than 15,000 criminal suspects were detained in investigations of more than 7,400 Internet crimes by police departments and agencies," the country's ministry of public security said in a statement on its website.
Those detained were suspected of "harming national security online" or "infringing the legitimate rights and interests of the general public," it said.
It listed hacking attacks, cyber fraud and the promotion of online gambling among the crimes under investigation.
In a case in the eastern province of Jiangsu, seven people were arrested after hackers took control of a company website, filling the pages with online gambling content, the ministry said.
The suspects were later found to have hacked into more than 2,000 websites.
But China is also deleting content that the government deems offensive and "harmful," including pornography and gambling, but also posts by citizens about current events that are considered "rumor-mongering" because they offer an alternative view of events.
Pan Lu, deputy director of the nascent China Human Rights Monitor group, said the crackdown on so-called cyber crime is linked to the nationwide "stability maintenance" system run by police.
"The police … are the main force behind stability maintenance, because China is a police state," Pan said. "Their aim is to maintain their time control on public opinion, to support the party and state-run media and to ensure that the lies put out by the system can continue."
"They can't tolerate dissent, and they are sowing terror online, to the extent that … citizens like us aren't able to make their voices heard," she said.
"They don't want to hear any critical or interfering voices online when they are dealing with thorny crises."
Clamp down on reporting
In recent days, China has clamped down on reporting of last week's devastating Tianjin chemical warehouse explosions, ordering state-run media to stick to officially approved news stories, deleting tweets, and shuttering social media accounts deemed to be "spreading rumors" about the Tianjin explosions.
Veteran Hebei-based reporter Zhu Xinxin said the definition of what constitutes an "Internet crime" remains very wide in China.
"For example, if you commit financial fraud using the Internet, it's understandable that this would be considered a cyber crime," Zhu said.
"Of course, there are political implications with these so-called cyber crimes, and the Chinese Communist Party uses Internet crime as a pretext to purge freedom of speech online," he said.
"[This could include] expressions of dissatisfaction with the government or current issues, speaking the truth about actual events, disasters or emergencies, or exposing official corruption," Zhu added.
"All of these things can lead to an arrest in the name of cyber crime, which constitutes a violation of human rights, and an attack of freedom of speech."
Further tightening
Earlier this month, Beijing announced it would further tighten its grip on the nation's 650 million netizens with the stationing of specialist police officers in major Internet companies.
Hacker attacks, "violent terrorist information," fraud and data theft, pornography and gambling are mushrooming online, posing a serious threat to social stability and national security, and police should "play a dominant role" in the management of online security, according to the ministry.
Meanwhile, a draft cybersecurity law published by the National People's Congress (NPC) looks set to formalize and extend government controls over the Chinese Internet.
The draft law aims to "ensure network security, [and] safeguard the sovereignty of cyberspace and national security," according to the NPC's official website, and will ensure Chinese Internet users aren't allowed to "disturb the social order, [and] harm the public interest.
Rights groups say this could lead to further tightening of the existing set of blocks, filters and human censorship known collectively as the Great Firewall, while officials say they are also setting out to protect Chinese infrastructure from cyberattacks and the privacy of citizens' data.

Very pleasant surprise
The room we stayed in was spacious very modern and comfortable.
The ensuite contained a large shower and also a bath. We would definitely stay again. The food and service in the pub was excellent. The only complaint is that the lighting was a bit bright a pair of bedside lamps would have solved that minor problem.

As the weather heats up this summer and people pack up the car and head out to connect with nature, they still want to stay connected and that means keeping their gadgets charged. One cool gadget that can help do that and more is the rugged Braven BRV-BANK. It's more than just a battery and like a good bank, it offers an array of "services" you would expect from a bank and a few more.

Publication Type: Peer Reviewed Journal
Publication Acceptance Date: 12/10/2001
Publication Date: N/A
Citation: N/A Interpretive Summary: There is an increasing trend in using poor quality water for irrigated agriculture in central California. The suitability of poor quality water for irrigation is, however, dependent on both the level of salinity and solute concentration of selenium and boron and the crop's tolerance to salt. Among the ions, selenium is of particular concern because it is reported to cause toxicity in many biological systems, including waterfowl Research by the WMRL has demonstrated that phytoremediation with Brassica crops can be used to manage sele nium in the soil by plant uptake. In this field study broccoli and canola were irrigated with selenium-rich water. Both plants' accumulated selenium and reduced selenium levels left in the soil. Growing broccoli and canola as recipients for Se-laden effluent will likely be preferred choices by the growers because of their familiarity with the crops because of their market value. However, both of these crops swill likely not tolerate high salt and B levels in the soil. thus, salt management will be essential in soils receiving this quality of water for long term use.
Technical Abstract: Many drainage waters can be used successfully to grow some crops without long-term hazardous consequences to crops and soils. Certain ions in saline drainage waters can be specifically toxic to plants, if pres in excessive concentrations. Of particular concern in the San Joaquin Valley of California are Na, Cl, B, and Se. Careful salt management with leaching is problematic in soils loaded with Se from irrigation with salin drainage water. For this reason, an alternative technology, phytoremediation, has been developed for managing Se by plant accumulation. In this two-year study, the WMRL evaluated Se accumulation in canola and broccoli irrigated with poor quality water containing salts, Se, and B under typical field conditions in the westside of central California. Canola was directly seeded on 7.5 ha and broccoli planted as transplants on 2.5 ha. Water used for irrigation had levels of Se (100-300 ug/L), B (3-5 mg/L), and a sodium sulfate dominated salinity (EC = 5-8 dS/m). Soil samples were taken prior and postharvest to a depth of 90 cm and canola and broccoli samples were collected at harvest. All samples were analyzed for Se, B, as well as extractable Se and EC in soil samples. Based upon the total amount of Se applied via irrigation, canola and broccoli extracted 12 and 18% respectively. Additional losses of Se (around 17%), occurred presumably by biological volatilization, in soils planted to both crops. Tissue Se concentrations did not exceed 5 mg/kg DM in both species. Based on two years of data, both broccoli and canola can be safely grown with poor quality water. However, salt and especially B management will be essential in soils receiving this quality of water for a longer period of time.

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Domonic Brown swatted his fourth home run of his abbreviated big league season (142 at-bats) Monday, a solo blast off R.A. Dickey, and three of them have come in the past eight games. Brown might not reach the lofty heights once expected of a top prospect, but he has power, takes walks for those in OBP formats and he's playing regularly.
Tampa Bay Rays right-hander Alex Cobb took a no-hitter into the sixth inning Monday, but ultimately allowed two hits and four runs (three earned), with a Jacoby Ellsbury home run the big blow for Boston. Cobb, who hadn't lost since July, isn't a big strikeout pitcher but with his strong second half makes him someone to watch in 2013.
Detroit Tigers right-hander Doug Fister disappointed his fantasy owners by allowing eight hits and five runs in four innings against the Chicago White Sox Monday, losing for only the second time since July. Fister faced the White Sox last week and gave up only two hits and two runs in seven innings. Monday was different. Fister is generally good when healthy, and should remain owned.
Atlanta Braves second baseman Dan Uggla slugged a three-run homer in the first inning Monday, his first in 10 days, but after a brief benching he has been playing regularly and producing. Uggla, hitting .217 for the season but .304 in September, is finishing up his worst MLB season, but his power at second base remains valuable.
Baltimore Orioles outfielder Nate McLouth led off Monday's game in Seattle with a home run, and later added a pair of singles to raise his batting average to .274 in 40 games. McLouth, signed to a minor league deal in June after struggling pretty much since 2009 with Atlanta, has capably replaced Nick Markakis with modest power and speed, and he's available in more than 90 percent of ESPN standard leagues.
Finally, Colorado Rockies right-hander Jhoulys Chacin did not win Monday -- Rockies starters rarely do -- but he threw five effective innings of one-run ball in San Francisco. Chacin was a legit, deep-league fantasy option last season, when he won 11 games with a 3.62 ERA, and while it's tough to make a case for him with the organization's pitch limits, he's a 2013 sleeper when healthy.
