I had a breast augmentation about 2 months ago with 300cc salines and they are too big so I am planning on having a revision with 250 cc silicone. I went through the aereola and it has been healing very well. I was wondering if I went through that same incision site again, would the scar be alot worse? I reallly do not want my implants to be noticable. Would I be better off going with the transaxillary incision? Does that incision heal well and is it noticable?
Will my Incision Site Scars Be Much Worse After a Breast Implant Revision?

Revision incision
When performing a revision and going through the old scar, the old scar is usually excised and then closed at the end of the procedure. It should heal as well as it did after the first one.

Breast implant revision after two months is too early, and 50cc is barely noticeable!
As others have stated, you still have some softening, settling, and swelling reduction to occur over the next several months. But even if you are convinced that NOW is the time to re-operate, there are a couple of things to consider:
First, your scar has not completely matured and re-operating through the same incision could contribute to slightly more visible scarring (even though the old scar is removed and a "new" scar is created in the same location). This is because of the residual edema and induration (the firmness you feel around your scar) that makes suturing more difficult and healing perhaps slightly more problematic. Waiting 6 months allows your scars to soften and mature enough so that excising the old scar can yield as good a result as you now have.
Secondly, a 50 cc change may seem like a reasonable decrease, but 50 cc is the same volume as 3 tablespoons and 1 teaspoon of liquid. Put that amount in a glass and see if you think that much less over an entire breast's volume will really be a noticeable drop. To look at this another way, 50cc is roughly equivalent to one-fifth of a cup size. Do you really want to undergo the (slight) risks, the not-so-slight costs, and your concerns about the scar for a change that will likely not even be visible (except in your mind's eye!)?
Finally, a new incision makes no sense! You and your surgeon selected what you both felt was the "best" choice for your surgery, though other surgeons and patients may differ. Why add a second pair of incisions and scars?

Breast scars
1) Scar massage - starting as soon as the surgical dressings come off and the incisions are sealed
2) Silicone sheets or scar gels for about six months to year
3) Embrace - a tension reducing dressing for the first 2 months
4) Fractionated lasers to help blend the scar into the background - done as a series, starting about 4 weeks after surgery and repeated every four weeks for six months.
5) Sunscreen to prevent the scars from darkening

Will my incision site scars be much worse after a breast implant revision?
It is common for scars to fully mature for up to a year. In the meantime, there are a few things that may help to ameliorate your incision/scar. The most proven (as well as cheapest) modality is simple scar massage. Applying pressure and massaging the well-healed scar has been shown to improve the appearance as it breaks up the scar tissue, hopefully producing the finest scar as possible. Other things that have been shown to add some benefit, albeit controversial, are silicone sheets, hydration, and topical steroids. In addition, avoidance of direct sunlight to the incision will significantly help the appearance as they tend to discolor with UV light during the healing process.
If unsightly scars are still present after approximately a year's time, other things that your surgeon may consider are intralesional steroid injections, laser, or just surgical revision of the scar itself.
Consult with a plastic surgeon your goals, concerns, and expectations. Certainly incisions should be considered, but should not limit your overall result by hindering visualization and access to your surgeon, and what produces the best results in his/her hands.
Hope that this helps! Best wishes!
Scars usually good after revision
When a new incision is made through an existing scar, it usually heals just as well if not better. You are not planning to make much of a size change though and it is very early in your recovery so I would advise waiting a few months more and then make sure it is what you want.
Which incision to use for repeat breast implant procedure
If your scars look good right now, using the same site for a new incision makes sense.
However, it may be too early to replace 300cc implants for 250cc implants. Give it at least a few more months to allow for tissue swelling to resolve and for the implants to settle.
You don't have much to lose by waiting but much to save if you don't need another surgery!
Which incision to use for repeat breast implant procedure
Revision at 2 months is too soon
Hopefully you are getting the message from every experienced plastic surgeon here that 2 months is not showing you the final result. It takes 6 months to get there and you will be smaller then than you are now.
Also, only going down 50cc may not even show and in general closer to 100 ccs is needed to go up or down to any significant degree. Using the same incision would be best also if you do eventually do a revision.
Reusing an around the Nipple (Periareolar) Breast Scar in Revision Breast Surgery
Regarding: "Will my Incision Site Scars Be Much Worse After a Breast Implant Revision?
I had a breast augmentation about 2 months ago with 300cc salines and they are too big so I am planning on having a revision with 250 cc silicone. I went through the aereola and it has been healing very well. I was wondering if I went through that same incision site again, would the scar be alot worse?

Before embarking on yet another operation, you should be sure that you understand what is involved here and you accept the size of the lower volume silicone implants.
I think you should wait at least 6 months for all surgical inflammation to subside before considering a re-operation. But, already having a periareolar ("around the nipple") scar, you already have the scar which offers the best visibility and I would re-use that scar. The scar should NOT look worse after a re-operation since the old scar is actually removed during the procedure giving you a fresh scar.
Dr. Peter Aldea
Deciding to downgrade implants after 2 months is not realistic.
Waiting a few more months before making your decision will possibly save you some worrying. Your breast tissue may be swollen still and the implants may settle more. If you do plan to revise the implant size, stay with the same incision site. Going thru the armpit or thru the belly button may cause the breasts to be uneven. Nipple placement is the most accurate. If you already have scarring, it will not be too much more noticabe depending on the surgeon, smoking and tanning.

Breast Implant Revision and Scars
At 2 months, you are still in the healing phase and the implants have not fully settled. I recommend women wait at least 6 months before deciding on changing the size of their implants, whether to go smaller or bigger. There is a difference in how the implants look at two months and six months, just as there is a difference between how they look now versus at just one week.
If you really do want to change your implants, using the same incision is perfectly fine, especially since you are healing well. The scar will not be worse, especially since you are going to a smaller size and thus putting even less tension on the incision. I wound not recommend going through a trans axillary incision at this point because you already have an incision on the breast, which is the only advantage trans axillary incisions offer over periareolar and infra-mammary incisions.
Hope that helps and good luck!

When Caroline and I learned she was pregnant with triplets, we knew our world was about to change beyond recognition. It didn't take us long to come up with a laundry list of logistical issues to address which included the daunting task of selling our existing home and purchasing a larger one.
Our search was a fast and furious as we knew it was all but certain that Caroline would be relegated to bed rest at some point. Which is why we were so happy when we sold our house and found its successor in relatively quick order. Happier, still, that we were able to close on our new house by week 27 as we believed that would not only give us time to move in, but would also allow for plenty of time to unpack before her mobility was (medically) hampered.
We were one for two on that one.
Because we did, indeed, manage to move in – all in one day, no less. Granted, nothing was unpacked on moving day. That process would not start till after Caroline's regularly scheduled appointment with the OB-GYN the following morning.
The appointment which ended with the doctor relegating my wife to bed rest. In the hospital.
Unbeknownst to Caroline, she'd been having contractions on a regular basis for quite a while (she'd mistaken them for the pain that had proven to be part and parcel of her triplet pregnancy). And those contractions had caused her cervix to shorten significantly, so her OB-GYN thought it best to put her on a mag drip and monitor her contractions around the clock.
Once settled in her room, Caroline and I spent the next half hour making a dozen phone calls that each sounded the same. Like telemarketers reading from some bad script, we spat out verbiage which downplayed the severity of the situation to a loved one on the other end of the line who pretended to not be concerned. But the truth was, at 27 weeks, there was plenty to be concerned about. The ultrasound indicated that all three of our babies weighed just two pounds, nowhere near large enough for them to fare well on the outside world without extreme medical attention. And even then…
Her doctor speculated there was a one-in-two chance that the babies would be born within two weeks of that scary day – the one that immediately followed our move. And if that turned out to be the case, these babies would come before the 30-week mark Caroline had been told to shoot for from the onset of her pregnancy. Such babies, according to statistics, stand a 90% chance of survival.
The flip side of that stat was as glaringly obvious as it was unspoken.
All of which meant we had to keep our little trio in there as long as humanly possible and that was all there was to it.
Once Caroline was settled in her hospital room, I went to our new house to retrieve some of her things. I walked through the cluttered kitchen, then down the hallway and passed the dining room on my right where crooked pillars of unpacked boxes stared blankly at me, then the living room on my left with its collection of misplaced furniture still in its protective cellophane.
Once passed, I gazed forlornly at the front door that none of our guests had ever darkened before continuing to the landing where sets of steps led up and down to levels I'd visited only two or three times in my entire life. At the end of the hallway, I turned left into the master bedroom and stared at Caroline's side of the bed as a wave of nausea overtook me – not the kind you get when you think you'll be sick, but rather the kind you get when you wonder if you'll be okay.
As the reality finally began to set in, a lonely thought echoed about my weary mind:
It'll never be home without her. It'll never be home without her.
My stepdaughter was to leave the following day to go to the beach with her biological dad which would at least give us time to regroup and figure out how to carry on without the one person who'd always made everything go. And Caroline and I came up with a good plan, indeed. And, as anyone who's familiar with me already knows, everything turned out just fine. Better than fine, even.
Caroline held on to week 36 which meant she spent the last nine weeks of her pregnancy on bed rest. The good news was she was allowed to come home after just one week in the hospital. The bad news?
She was ordered back in the hospital four weeks later and would remain there till the triplets were born four weeks after that. And I'll never, ever forget that period of time. They were incredibly difficult, you know, but also incredibly humorous, which is to expected, I suppose, when a recovering-bachelor type suddenly finds himself in charge of a household.
But I wouldn't change a single thing about them. In a way, I think that era is responsible for converting us into the quirky and unique family we've become. And in the next week or two, I'll be sharing a few stories from that era that I promise will not disappoint.
So if you're on bed rest, or if your wife / significant other is on bed rest, I recommend hanging on for dear life. Because you're in for a bit of a ride. Don't worry, though. If you play it right, you'll get a lifetime of precious memories out of the deal. I'll be sharing a few of mine in the days to come.

For Edgar Allan Poe, 2009 has been a better year than 1849. After dozens of events in several cities to mark the 200th anniversary of his birth, he's about to get the grand funeral that a writer of his stature should have received when he died.
One hundred sixty years ago, the beleaguered, impoverished Poe was found, delirious and in distress outside a Baltimore tavern. He was never coherent enough to explain what had befallen him since leaving Richmond, Va., a week earlier. He spent four days in a hospital before he died at age 40.
Poe's cousin, Neilson Poe, never announced his death publicly. Fewer than 10 people attended the hasty funeral for one of the 19th century's greatest writers. And the injustices piled on. Poe's tombstone was destroyed before it could be installed, when a train derailed and crashed into a stonecutter's yard.

Bipolar Disorder (Children and Adolescents)
Drugs for bipolar
My question is. I am on seraquel 300mg, neurontin,300mg 4 times @ day, effexor 300 mg ad day, lamictal,300mg @ day, atvan 1 mg 4 times@ day,rittalin,20mg.3times a day. I`m doing really well,but the neurintin makes me drowsy,though I like it because it calms me better than an ativan. Will the drowsiness go away, once my body id used to it?
You are on a very complex regimen so it is difficult to predict with much accuracy your question. Despite that disclaimer, Neurontin has the potential to have less sedation (or you adapt to this side effect) as you to take it. Continue to work with your physician to simplify your treatments as you continue to improve.

I'm sorry to make my first post here a request but I am getting kind of desperate. After installing an app (Chainfire 3D) my Blu Life One wouldn't get past the boot screen. I searched high and low but couldn't find a stock rom for it so I settled on the Micromax Canvas 4 stock. Since then I only get Edge connection when I was getting H+ at almost all times. So basically I have to try to find a Blu Life One stock rom (USA if that matters) hoping to get my data speeds back. I found one from brazil on the Blu Products Dev Teams Google+ page but it erred at "restoring /system". Other than that I just can't find one.
Thanks for the response. I'll give that a shot. I actually started using the Wiko Stairway Rom and it worked perfectly. I do love that Canvas 4 boot though. Thanks again.
BTW, the Wiko Stairway rom is offered by Wiko themselves for download along with drivers. I would link to it but can't until I have my 10 posts.
Your link just goes to a facebook page that says Sorry This page isn't available.

The Stillwater Fire Department will get two new full-time members after the Stillwater City Council approved Fire Chief Stu Glaser's request for the additional staff Tuesday.
The council's decision came after Glaser outlined staffing issues facing his department. The two full-time firefighters are being hired due to decreased staffing with paid on-call firefighters.
Although the on-call firefighters will remain part of the department, Glaser cited the combination of decreased staffing and increasing development in the area as reasons to add the two new full-time employees.
The department currently has 24 paid on-call staffers, eight short of normal levels, according to Glaser. The chief added that the pending retirement of a firefighter will increase the manpower shortage.
Glaser noted that SFD staffing shortages have been an issue for years, with the department losing more people than it gains. Glaser said he studied numerous options to address the staffing shortage and adding two full-time firefighters was the most cost-effective option. He said Stillwater's situation is not very different from surrounding metro fire departments dealing with the same issue.
"We're hoping to get this up and running as soon as possible because it does make me very concerned. Out of 33 paid on-call firefighters, 14 of those have five years or more (experience), five of those are eligible to retire because they're going on 20 years of service. About 72 percent of our department has five years or less of experience, which makes for a very young department and we're pretty much in a constant hiring process because a lot of them have left already. Average turnaround for the department is 2.5 years, which messes up our succession planning," Glaser said.
Glaser said the addition of the new bike trail and a likely increase in senior housing development means the SFD needs more personnel. He added that funds for the two new positions are available from existing vacancies in the on-call staff.
Councilman Doug Menikheim said he was extremely concerned with the SFD manpower shortage, adding that now was the time to act and provide the department with additional staff.
Councilman Tom Weidner said he wondered if hiring two new full-time firefighters was the way to go and asked City Administrator Larry Hansen his thoughts on the request.
"In the 30 years I've served here, I've been against full-time fire departments," Hansen said. "But after meeting with Stu, I admit that our current model is broken and it's been losing it's way. So I do somewhat reluctantly support his request because truly, I don't know what else to do. Could things change in five years with a new model that works? Yes, some of it does go with that, but we have a problem right now and it's the least expensive way to correct it."

I've been home from the IACP (International Association of Culinary Professionals) conference held in Austin, Texas since late Sunday night (two weeks ago now) and my suitcase is still parked on the dining room floor where I left it. I refuse to unpack.
Austin does that to a person, the city lures you in with its barbeque and tequila culture, round-the-clock music scene, and its rebellious indie spirit and leaves you starry-eyed with an insatiable appetite for more of the city. Like a scene I walked by on Wednesday afternoon during the peak of mid-day heat. I turned the corner of 6th and San Jacinto to find a guy crouched in a prayer-like position and so weathered by the sun his face bore lines and trails not unlike a road map without an end point in sight. I slowed down just long enough to read across his folded fingers LOVE, LOVE tattooed in blue ink.
This wasn't my first trip to Austin. A couple of months after I finished graduate school in 2003, I packed a suitcase and flew from Colorado to Texas in the middle of a 100 plus-degree August. I walked around with cold cloths wrapped around my neck. My second night there, I met a few friends for margaritas and tacos somewhere in the middle of the city. My view outside of a Tex-Mex restaurant was not unlike Salvador Dali's painting The Persistence of Memory, only I'm the stand-in for the melting clocks in this instance.
Being in Texas, I could live with my heat-tequila-induced hallucinations, but I couldn't live in that heat. I hear air conditioning cures this and after recently walking around in ninety-something days, I'm open to reconsideration. It's the kind of place you don't want to leave.
Especially after IACP (by the way, you can buy a virtual IACP pass for access to 34 panels and sessions).
Hundreds of culinary professionals including writers, photographers, historians, and chefs gathered in the Lone Star State for four days packed with workshops, panels, cooking demos, culinary tours, awards ceremonies, and more. One could easily spend every waking hour there transfixed in culinary perpetuity. Being utterly overwhelmed and inspired is required and without the countless cups of coffee, small bites of food trailer sustenance, and moderate doses of lemon drop martinis—it could be difficult to remain standing.
Somehow I found my way to the conference hotel each morning where I met a number of new and familiar friends for drinks and dinner (whose work you'll want to check out): Amy McCoy of Poor Girl Gourmet, Ben Hau of You Fed a Baby Chili?, David Dadekian of Eat Drink RI, Eagrani Yuh of The Well Tempered Chocolatier, Jessica Merchant of How Sweet It Is, Karen Covey of Gourmet Recipes for One, Kian Lam Kho of Red Cook, Kristen Hess of Artful Gourmet, Marie Asselin of Food Nouveau, Mary Rolph Lamontagne of Good Food Quest, Megan Myers of Stetted, Rachel Barbarotta of Fab Foodie Bites, and Reverend David J. Ciancio of Burger Conquest.
If you happened to be at the conference, I was the one bumping into you with a heaving backpack filled with a laptop, four camera lens and body—you know just in case—and if you were one of my bruised victims, sorry about that. After the first day, I retired my photographic armor in favor of a small shoulder bag.
Let's get to the conference rundown.
Day one—Wednesday began with a Lightroom session taught by Scott Martin who spoke about how to manage your photography workflow; a new member meeting; an opening reception at the Texas State History Museum with local chefs and purveyors; a night owl sessions with Penny De Los Santos and Duc Tran on cooking, writing about, and photographing cuisines outside their native cultures.
Day two—began with a culinary demonstration on Mexican Cuisine Before and After Cortez with Sue Torres (chef/owner) Suenos Restaurant; a session on to blog or to publish with Dorie Greenspan and Hank Shaw followed by one about creating a virtual book tour with Tara Desmond; an awards gala and reception; and a late night session on ways to make any food image look good with food stylist Denise Vivaldo.
Day three—Finding and crafting a great story with Daniel Klein, Penny De Los Santos, and Kim Severson inspired me early on day three; then a culinary tasting and demo by chef Jacques Pepin and his assistant Barbara Fenzi moderated by Amanda Hesser; and a food writers, editors & publishers section meeting.
Day four—Saturday was the last day of the conference, which started with a session about the changing publishing industry and how cookbooks fit into print and digital formats with Dorie Greenspan, Lorena Jones, and Rux Martin; onto Elise Bauer, Kalyn Denny, and Lisa Stone's session about food blogging beyond the basics; and ended with Diane Cu and Todd Porter's session on digital food photography.
I left the conference having met a number of incredibly talented people along with pages of notes on the essential takeaway from Austin.
I hope this post leaves you equally awakened.
• Travel light. Carry a small notebook, pen, and pocket size camera.
• Organize your digital photography catalog and streamline your photo workflow in your software of choice (I've recently switched to Lightroom). Create a "working" hard drive, external backup, external archive, and remote archive/backup. (from Scott Martin)
•Control your light when making a photograph. Think of a clock in which the subject is positioned at the center where the hands would meet and you, the photographer are positioned at 6 o'clock. Don't take 50 plus photos of the same exact shot. You should be able to get it in 3 shots. Move and change angles. (from Dianne Cu and Todd Porter)
•Focus on writing craft and don't be afraid as Hank Shaw puts it to "open a vein." Likewise get your vomit (aka first or) down draft, "No word or phrase is worth struggling over. If you have to shoe horn it into your paragraph, cut it."
•Be true to your culinary roots, "You cannot escape who you are, it will eventually show up in your food or cooking." Jacques Pepin
• Follow these steps to craft a great story for video: 1. Keep it simple 2. Capture what's happening & become friends with your subject 3. Have a steady hand (Daniel Klein—Chef/The Perennial Plate) or for still photography: 1. Understand that it's not about the camera, it's about the scene (forget your F-stop and shutter speed & learn to see using instinct and intuition) 2. Be very vulnerable 3. Don't talk, do listen (from Penny De Los Santos—Photographer)
•Be flexible, until you find the Vegetarian Holy Grail aka The Vegan Yacht…
know that an overstuffed baked potato is the best you can ask for in the land of barbequed meat.
That's it Austin…until we meet again.

A relaxing Saturday evening…
Saturday evening, several friends came over to our house again. Our family had an emotional and stressful week. Earlier in the week, the doctor thought that Margaret, my wife, was having heart problems. After a couple of days of tests and waiting, the doctor said that she was fine.
Anyway, we all needed to relax a little, and that's just what we did Saturday evening. We were able to talk with some friends, share some good food, and hear about what God was doing in their lives. But, it was a different kind of meeting. We didn't have any deep discussions. Instead, we had a relaxing and encouraging evening.
This is not to say that we did not challenge or exhort one another. In fact, since then I've been thinking about several statements that were made Saturday night. In particular, a few people talked about how God was leading them in their lives. We talked about the difference between making plans and acting on our plans, and waiting for God.
I'm not against planning. I know very few people who are against planning. The question is: do I act according to my plans, or do I allow God to direct me? Sometimes the two coincide. Sometimes they don't. Like the psalmist, I want to be a person who waits patiently on the Lord.

Hi Allen
I think the hard thing is discerning between the plans we make such as in James, and if God is wanting to do something different. The thing that I have found interesting and distressing is how much variation there is in our body on this issue. It will be interesting to see how people react to this tension.
I agree that the difficulty lies in discerning between our plans and God's will. I believe that even in variation, God can and will reveal Himself to us and all his children, if we are listening. I plan to react by listening to and trusting God… I'm sure others will as well. So, I have every confidence that God will bring us to where He wants us – which may be different than any of our plans.

Student Traffic Report: High Volume!
In this issue
GPRC Open House
New Format Proves Successful
GPRC hosted its Fall 2007 Open House Wednesday, November 14th. The format changed this year from a trade-show style in the gymnasium, to a more interactive, college-wide approach. Events such as the "Celebrity Scavenger Golf Contest" and the "Student Scavenger Hunt" generated a lot of excitement and encouraged circulation throughout the College.
104.7 FreeFm was on location "live" to add to the excitement. Farley was his usual good-natured self and seemed to pop up everywhere! Daily Herald-Tribune reporter, Damien Wood, was on location too, but this time he was wearing two hats: DHT reporter AND "Student For a Day"!
The numbers are in and impressive to say the least: 2 new student registrations, 3 continuing registrations, 95 applications (compared to 66 at the February 2007 Education Fair), 103 Scavenger Hunt participants, and 175 entry forms for the $1000 Tuition Voucher.
The SWEEP Team
Who are they and what do they do?
The new incarnation of student mentors "SWEEP" is proving to be a great asset to the Recruitment Team and to the College as a whole. The SWEEP Team are an amazing bunch of students that represent a variety of academic areas and diverse personal backgrounds but have one thing in common - they love the College and they are enthusiastic about their roles as GPRC representatives. Their student perspective is invaluable and makes the college experience more accessible to prospective students. They often accompany our High School Liaison Coordinator, Megan Ryan-Walsh, on the road to visit regional high school groups. As Megan says, "It is amazing to have students travel with me and watch how they are able to bridge the gap between potential students and GPRC". They really are aptly acronymed: "Students With Energy, Enthusiasm, and Passion". They are: Kyle Small, Rigel Carias, Niki Bahm, Mitch Christensen, Jason Bryan, Tina Kinnee-Brown, and Erin Connell.
United Way Campaign Success
GPRC's 2007 United Way campaign officially ended November 7th. Thanks to the efforts of the Campaign Team, countless volunteers, and the College community as a whole, over $10,000 was raised for the Grande Prairie and Region United Way - an awesome contribution to our community! In the words of Karen Scribner, "United Way funded programs touch 1 in 3 people in our region of all ages and circumstances. Funded agencies are addressing issues in poverty, isolation and loneliness, family stress, violence in society, and substance abuse. Your contributions are helping these agencies make an difference in our community". As a reminder, pledge forms are still being accepted by the Human Resources Department until the regional campaign ends November 30th.

Category: Dessert
I saw a crepe cake on social media a while back and knew I HAD to make one. I went with a berry compote and powdered sugar glaze, so that it could be served as breakfast or dessert, because who doesn't want this for breakfast? This recipe is meant to be shared and is great for a brunch!
Sometimes I find myself talking about food with Ben, only to hear the response, "I have never had that." It makes my heart ache; how could somebody not have had ____! This time, it was a muffin. NEVER. HAD. A. MUFFIN?! I have a soft spot for a good blueberry muffin, so I had to make a Ben Friendly (soon to be trademarked) blueberry muffin.
Do you bake? I don't. Well not usually. I have never really had a sweet tooth and have always preferred more savory dishes. If I do crave something sweet it is usually a beverage. Ben, on the other hand, has a problem. He has a crazy sweet tooth. He told me the other day that it is probably a good thing he is allergic to most sweets, because he would be buying cupcakes and other treats daily.
The holidays are just around the corner; what will you be making? For those of you who are not sure, I've compiled a list of my top 30 favorite holiday recipes. There are some sweet, some savory, some for the early morning and some for late night. Enjoy!
I officially bought my first Christmas tree. It is a living 1 1/2 ft European Cypress. I am so excited that I found a living tree! Ben also got us a pine candle. Needless to say we are feeling quite festive here in the mountains. The Christmas spirit has also made me want to cook festive food, even dessert- something that I don't normally crave.
For Valentine's Day, I wanted to surprise my boyfriend with a special treat. The only problem is that he is allergic to almost everything- eggs, red meat, tree nuts & shellfish! I remembered him telling me if he could try anything he was allergic to it would be gooey fudge brownies. Not being much of a baker, I decided to suck it up and give my man what he wanted. The problem is, I am not much of a baker. And I live in Colorado. I found a great eggless gooey brownie recipe on the Family Ever After blog, but didn't even think about the fact that I was baking at high altitude. The brownies rose too fast and collapsed, leaving me with crystalized sugar hockey pucks. Being the kind soul he is, my boyfriend still ate three of the hockey pucks and told me they were still delicious, but I knew the truth.
Have no fear, this Friday the 13th is your lucky day. Why? Because we have an AWESOME guest blogger here today with an amazing recipe for Featured Foodie Friday, Chef Dennis. If you missed it, I guest posted for him a while back with my Potato Gnocchi w/ Jerk Chicken on Green Pea Puree recipe. If you are not already following his blog, you need to. He is full of great advice and wonderful recipes.
As for this cake? For all of you who are stuck in rainy/snowy/cold/cloudy weather or didn't get the chance to take a vacation this spring break, this cake is your way to indulge and transport yourself here with me in Hawaii. I do have to admit, I had indulged in my first Pina Colada since being here last week and it has me wanting to bake this cake ASAP.
Pina Colada Cake
Today I have some food for thought for you. As a foodie, what matters most to you? Is it health and nutrition; exotic, widespread cuisines; taste; or simply something else? It amazes me how big food has gotten over the last 100 years. We have always eaten, but suddenly food has become this celebrity that has won the hearts of us all. What is it about food that does this? Yes, we all love food that tastes good, but there is something else. For me, my life revolves around food. My job, hobbies, actions, thoughts, aspirations, dreams, you name it. I want to learn about all the cuisines of the world; all the plating techniques used in fine dining; etc.
As for the cause of this epidemic? I think it is because good food has the ability to create a widespread happiness and feeling of togetherness amongst us. You know they say a way to a mans heart is through his belly. I think this is true for everyone. Why do you cook? I cook because of the way food makes me feel; I want to be able to share this with others. On that note, I think our guest blogger today is a great addition to my rant because she has created a unique cupcake that shows how far food has come. Please welcome Claudie from Bohemian Kitchen.
Sour Cream, Almond, & Saffron Cupcakes w/ Cardamom & Sumo Orange Cream Cheese Frosting
Happy Friday! For once, I feel like this Friday is a weekend day; it feels great. I have two days off work and finally have a minute to take a breath and relax. I went to lunch with my roommate yesterday at a new restaurant called Jawaiian Irie Jerk Restaurant. It used to be a food truck, and was so popular that they turned it into a restaurant. Pretty cool story; definitely has added a little to my dream of owning a food truck! On another note, this friday we have a great guest blogger from the mainland; please welcome Kimby from A Little Lunch!
Sponge Cake with Lemon Sauce
Everybody watch out, I have had a creative moment so beware. I'm sure we all suffer from the same feeling; you know the one where you feel like you never have your own good recipe ideas and everybody else has the coolest ideas, so you just want to copy them? I am always trying to think up my own recipes, but very rarely do I actually think up a blog-worthy idea. So as you can guess I am VERY excited to share this recipe with you; it is my very own recipe brainchild. The one thing you will notice about my own recipes is that they always have some outrageous title, way longer than any should probably ever be. But just think of it as a way to attempt to show how deliciously packed the recipe is!

Scott makes our job easy. All we have to do is open the bottles and pour. His award-winning varietals speak for themselves. ~ Muffin Simpson, Tasting Room Manager
Sutter Creek, CA (PRWEB) May 16, 2013
Scott Harvey Wines, chosen by Trip Advisor as the #1 attraction in Sutter Creek, is celebrating the Grand Opening of their expanded Tasting Room on June 1st, as the culmination of a mission to create a new wine tasting destination in Amador County. How did Winemaker Scott Harvey help transform a historical Gold Rush town known as the "Jewel of the Mother Lode" to a charming wine center?
6 years ago, Scott and his wife Jana envisioned a tasting venue where people could both dine and lodge within walking distance of the tasting room. Sutter Creek, the most picturesque town in Gold Country, would be the ideal showcase for Amador County wine and provide just the place for responsible wine tasting—where people enjoy a flight of wine and stroll to dinner and back to the hotel. Scott and Jana took the leap in early 2007, joining just one other venue in town—Sutter Creek Wine Tasting.
Later in the year, Pat Crosby, former City Councilman of Sutter Creek, a registered California Landmark, approached winemaker Scott Harvey with a proposition. "Can you help develop Sutter Creek into a wine lover's destination?" Scott approached the city with a tasting room prospectus at Pat's behest.
Scott had already built his reputation as a winemaker, creating Amador Wines for Santino Winery, which he later developed into Renwood, and had a strong affiliation with Amador County wines. "What better place for people to appreciate the Barbera, Zinfandel, and Syrah that make the mountain region of Amador County so unique than right near the vineyards of the Shenandoah Valley?"
Scott Harvey was instrumental in contacting other wineries to open a satellite in the town Sunset Magazine calls "The Jewel of the Sierra." By 2013, additional wineries on Main St. include Cinque, Bella Grace, Andis, Yorba with Baiocchi and Sutter Ridge opening this summer . Together, the group is now known as Wine on Main.
Today, the Scott Harvey Wines Tasting Room is ranked the #1 attraction in Sutter Creek by Trip Advisor, lauded by reviewers for the friendly and knowledgeable tasting room staff, and wide variety of celebrated wines, from Amador County Zinfandel to Napa Valley Cabernet, to a favorite among visitors, Scott Harvey's port-style wine, Forte.
Scott Harvey Wines' staff keeps visitors coming back. Muffin and Kelsey created Locals Night – now a highly anticipated monthly themed event– from Fiesta Night to Toga Night-- featuring tasty morsels. A very active wine club membership enjoys food and wine pairings, special events, and vineyard tours.
Scott and Jana are bringing wine tasting to a new level with their Grand Reopening. A newly expanded and welcoming back patio features comfortable tables and chairs. Flowers and greenery have been freshly planted by Scott's daughter, Michelle, giving tasters a delightful respite for their personalized tasting experience, or to enjoy a glass of one of Scott Harvey's award-winning selection of over 15 wines. A newly-added barbeque grill is the center for special events and the enjoyment of wine club frequent get-togethers. June 1st marks the Grand Opening of the Scott Harvey Tasting Room Patio.
"We believe we have the best tasting room visitors in California," said Tasting Room Manager Muffin Simpson. "We love making their experience fun and enjoy introducing guests to varietals they might not have tasted before, such as Scott's Barbera (the J&S Reserve Barbera did win Gold at the California State Fair) and dessert wines such as our Riesling-based Ice-style Wine, Angel Eis."
"Because of Scott's Old World style of winemaking, visitors are always telling us that they like all the wines they've tasted on our menu," she continued. "Scott makes our job easy. All we have to do is open the bottles and pour. His award-winning varietals speak for themselves. Next thing you know, they join our Wine Club and become regulars."
About Scott Harvey Wines:
Handcrafted wines from Amador County and Napa Valley, Scott Harvey Wines produces wines under three labels: Scott Harvey Wines, Jana Winery and InZinerator. Established in 2004, Scott Harvey Wines features Amador County Barberas, Zinfandels and Syrahs, Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon and Zinfandel, along with a variety of one-of-a-kind white and red wine blends. Creator of "niche wines that over deliver," Scott Harvey, owner and winemaker, has been making quality wines for over 30 years.

I've been watching Fox News and CNBC as the journalists discuss the government shutdown, the tea party and the lack of unity in the Republican Party. It has been a little upsetting to see CNBC journalists acting like cheerleaders as their polls tell them Democrats are enjoying a 70 percent approval rating and almost jeering at the House Republicans.
It's too bad they don't recognize the terrible financial condition of the United States. We are following the same path as Greece and Italy and, believe me, that is not a laughing matter. Why aren't these journalists concerned over the looming debt crisis? This is what they should cover.
Come on, folks, get serious and realize that our government cannot continue to spend more than it takes in and we must be willing to sacrifice programs we like and enjoy when we know we can't continue to pay for them.

The thing is that my hair was always dry and frizzy because i never knew how to take care of it. When i used to blow dry i used to use lots and lots of serum to the point where my hair looked like a mess. About ayear ago i learned how to blowdry properly and started caring more for my hair but i would still see these new little hairs looking like that. I'm just worried that my hair is going to keep breaking on the top. I don't wear scrunchies any more because of it. I wear these oversized hair clips in a way where i do not feel any pulling at all but those fried looking hairs are always there. They're all in my middle part and i have noticed that the long hairs in that area look a little like they're thinning and dry. I'm 29 years old in case you're wondering.

text: This is from a three part guide but I reckon the first two instalments are enough - the third part deals with tinkering around in the registry. Its from the Telegraph: transferring Outlook Express (Filed: 20/01/2004) Top traumas solved by Rick Maybury Complete Bootcamp archive Jargon filter Top tip The novelty of owning a new PC or laptop quickly wears off when it comes to loading programs and transferring across data files, but for the most part it's a fairly straightforward, though time-consuming, job. However, things often grind to a halt with email accounts and messages and a lot of people just give up and start from scratch. europe/tffe200 The trouble is Outlook Express (OE), used by most PC owners, lacks any simple means of transferring data. It's not too bad when the PCs are connected to a network or both of them use the Windows XP operating system, but it can get messy when it involves different versions of Windows. The problem lies in how OE manages its files, which are spread around the hard disc drive in a seemingly haphazard manner. As well, some of them are encrypted or in proprietary file formats that defy most attempts to copy and paste files and folders. Worse still, important configuration data is deeply embedded inside the Windows Registry and novices tinker with it at their peril. This week we're going to look at what's involved and where the files and folders are stored. In part two we'll look at a simple step-by-step procedure to safely and securely transfer your basic email settings and messages from one PC to another; in part three we'll look at the Registry components and tidy up the loose ends. Incidentally, what follows mainly refers to Outlook Express versions 5 and 6. If you're still using OE4 you're on your own and it's about time you upgraded. Outlook Express has three key components that you need to copy to a new PC to transfer or duplicate your current email setup: the Message Store, Address Book, and your Accounts Information. For a full transfer you will also need to copy Message Rules and Customisation data from the Registry. The Message Store contains all of the emails you have sent, received, deleted or drafted in *.dbx files, a database format that can also be read, albeit awkwardly, by text editors such as Notepad, WordPad and Word. This is worth knowing if OE curls up its toes and you need to get at your messages in an emergency. Depending on your operating system the Message folder is normally in one of two locations. In Windows 9x (95/98/SE/ME) you'll find it at: C:WindowsApplication DataOutlook Express {GUID}Microsoft Outlook Express. In Windows XP it is in: C:Documents and Settings<User>Local SettingsApplication DataIdentities {GUID}Microsoft Outlook Express. The "{GUID}" bit is the Global Unique Identifier, a long string of characters unique to your PC. Neither location is convenient if you want to get to them in a hurry so this might be a good time to take advantage of a facility in OE to move the Message Store. You'll find it by going to the Tools menu, select Options, then Maintenance and then click the Store Folder button. From there you can choose a new location. It's a good idea to create a new folder in the root of the C: drive and call it something simple such as OEStore. Your Address Book is also squirreled away. In Windows 9x it's usually in: C:WINDOWS Application Data Microsoft. In XP it should be: C:Documents and Settings <yourname> Application Data Microsoft. It may well have been moved by other applications, in which case you can find it by opening the Address Book and clicking on Help >About Address Book. By the way, if you open the Address Book folder in Windows Explorer you'll see two files called <yourname>.wab and <yourname>.wa. The *.wab file is the Windows Address Book; the other one is a backup, created every time you start OE, which you can restore - should your Address Book become corrupted - by changing the file extension to "wab". Accounts information includes all dial-up connections, passwords, email username and address, plus settings OE needs to send and receive email and this, plus Message Rules and any customisations you may have applied, live deep in the Registry. Fortunately, the basic Accounts info is easy to copy across to a new PC but Message Rules can be a problem - though there are ways, to be discussed in part three. In part one last week we looked at how and where Outlook Express stores the files needed to transfer your email set-up from one PC to another. This week we'll be doing the deed, but first you must decide how you will copy the files to the new PC since at least one of them is much too large to fit on to a floppy disc. europe/tffe200 There are plenty of options, including copying the files to a CD-R/RW if the PC you are transferring from has a CD-writer. You could set up a direct cable connection, or "DCC", (see Bootcamps 67 and 68). Files can be copied over a network, or you could temporarily "slave" the hard drive from your old PC in the new machine. At a pinch, you could even send files to the second machine as e-mail attachments, though this could take a while as the Message Store can contain dozens of megabytes of data. The idea is to copy the three main components of Outlook Express (Message Store, Address Book and Accounts Information) via your chosen medium to a folder or folders on the hard drive on the new PC. This is important. The information must be moved on to the recipient PC's hard disc, particularly if you are using a CD-R/RW, as the data on a recordable disc is flagged as "Read Only" and this can prevent Outlook Express from accessing it properly. You can move the three items one at a time or in one go, it doesn't make any difference, but it's a good idea to start with the largest, the Message Store. Incidentally you don't have to copy all of your mailbox files (extension "*.dbx") in the Message Store folder, but you must include the "Folders.dbx" file as this is the master index. Once your Message Store folder is on the hard drive of the new machine, you can copy your mailboxes into Outlook Express by going to: File < Import < Messages < Outlook Express 5 (or 6, if shown) < Next. Select "Import Mail" from an OE5 or 6 Store Directory, click OK, use the Browse button to locate the copied Message Store folder and follow the prompts. The Address Book is next. This is a single file with the extension "*.wab" (see Part 1). Simply copy it across to a safe location on your new PC's hard drive (it should fit on to a floppy disc), and in Outlook Express on the second PC go to File > Import Address Book and point it to the location of your "wab" file. If you have difficulty copying the Address Book in its native "wab" file format, there's a fallback method. On your original PC open OE and go to File < Export < Address Book, select Text File (comma separated value), give it a name and nominate a destination folder. Copy the "*.csv" file across to the new PC then go to File < Import < Other Address Book < Text File (comma separated value). The last step is to copy your Accounts Information. OE has a built-in Export function, which you will find by going to Tools < Accounts and start with your email by selecting the Mail tab. (If you subscribe to newsgroups, select the News tab and follow the same procedure.) If you have more than one email account, highlight each in turn and click the Export button. You will be asked to specify a location and this will create an Internet Account File (extension "*.iaf"); repeat as necessary for each email and newsgroup account. Copy the "*.iaf" files from your old PC (they should fit on a floppy) into a folder on the hard disc of your new PC. Open Outlook Express, go to Tools < Accounts, select the Mail tab, click the Import button, locate your copied "*.iaf" files and repeat until they're all safely installed. Your email passwords are not transferred and will have to be re-entered the first time you use OE to send or receive emails. Outlook Express on the new PC is now ready to go, but it's a good idea to bed everything in by carrying out a reboot. Once you are happy OE is working properly, you can delete your transfer files or copy them all into one folder, which can act as an archive or backup, or you can use them to set up email on another PC. Once you have a backup, you can safely thin out your mailboxes. ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq

Best Body Moisturizer!!!I recieved free samples of this body butter in coconut and mango and love them both, I slightly favor the mango one though because it smells like heaven.

I'm definatly going to invest in the full sized tin. — 6 years, 8 months agoCliniqueLover | 297 reviews
Love It!I have ridiculously dry skin on my legs and this product feels great after a shower. My favorite is the coconut- it smells just like summer! The only thing I don't particularly care for is that it has parabens in it.

The Body Shop Hemp Body ButterThis body butter is a super moisturiser when your skin is chapped and irritated from exposure to the elements.

I would keep the duration to less than 6 hours. Find a plastic surgeon with ELITE credentials who performs hundreds of mommy makeovers each year. Then look at the plastic surgeon's website before and after photo galleries to get a sense of who can deliver the results.

Surgery Length
Because you have doubts already about doing so much surgery at one time, I believe you should follow your instincts and do only part of the procedures at this time. Nine hours could become longer if things don't progress smoothly.
9 Hours of Surgery
9 hours of surgery is a lot of surgery, and I agree with the other doctors here when they say that the longer the surgery time, the higher the complication and recovery times for the patient. Lengthy times are sometimes necessary in emergency situations, but in elective surgery I also prefer to keep my times to 6 hours or less. I would also opt for an in-hospital setting or an overnight stay at a minimum. Another thing to consider would be breaking the procedures into two separate surgeries.
You might also like...
Multiple procedures
There are couple considerations for multiple procedures done at the same time. Obviously, the safety should be our number one concern. With several procedures, the operative time could be very long. As operative time gets longer, complication rate (infection, bleeding) becomes higher. In addition, your recovery will be tougher with so many surgeries all over your body. Some patients may want multiple surgery in one session to avoid multiple recovery. However, it will be best to limit surgery so that the operative time is less than 6-8 hours. I too would be concerned about having all the procedures you listed all at once.
Combining Procedures and Safety?
Combining cosmetic plastic surgery procedures is not uncommon. Whether you are a reasonable candidate for those procedures depends on your anatomy, your medical history, realistic expectations of the outcome and an understanding of the pros and cons of the various procedures. Safety should always be the main concern. It is generally recommended that the length of elective surgery be less than six hours. The procedures should be performed in an ambulatory facility that is accredited by one of the national organizations like the American Association for Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgical Facilities (AAAASF) or in a licensed hospital. Many surgeons would recommend an overnight stay at an appropriate facility where you can be appropriately monitored. Most patients prefer undergoing one anesthesia and one recovery period which is usually more cost effective.
Having said all of that, most ethical well trained plastic surgeons would feel that the combination you are asking about is excessive and has significant risks factors if performed in one stage. Your concern about the length of surgery is appropriate.
Keep in mind that following the advice of any surgeon on this or any other web site who proposes to tell you what to do without: examining you, physically feeling the tissue, assessing your desired outcome, and taking a full medical history, as well as discussing the pros and cons of each operative option would not be in your best interest. I would suggest you find a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon certified by The American Board of Plastic Surgery who is ideally a member of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) that you trust and are comfortable with, and discuss your concerns with that surgeon in person. That way, you can have a better idea what is safe and makes the most sense for you.
Combined procedures
Thank you for your question. I think you need to listen to that little voice inside (in other words, listen to your gut). Your concerns may be valid. Although multiple procedures can be safely performed in one setting, doing all the procedures you listed all in one setting seems quite excessive. My recommendation would be to consider your breast surgery and tummy surgery and perhaps some fat grafting (depending on the areas for treatment and amount of fat injections required).
Multiple procedures can be done safely, but it depends on your health status (past medical history), your anatomy, and the amount of surgery/type of procedures to be done. On longer cases, an overnight stay may be recommended. Please talk to your plastic surgeon to get their thoughts on the matter as they are most familiar with your medical history and overall health status. You may also want to seek a second opinion.
Please confirm that your plastic surgeon is board certified plastic surgeon specifically by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. Remember, safety first. You can always come back and fight another day.

Length of operation
Personally I avoid elective surgery longer than 6 hours especially as an outpatient. This is a decision that must be made by you and your plastic surgeon as he is in the best position to understand your anatomy and medical condition.
Combining Procedures
Performing longer surgeries is safe provided you have been screened and are in good health. I also believe you should be cared for overnight in a facility that is fully staffed and equipped for such stays. I have personally avoided combining procedures like facelift or rhinoplasty with the larger body procedures like tummy tuck and lipo because I feel there is a "fatigue-finesse" relationship that is not favorable at the end of a long case. Maybe I'm just getting old !

Tecnifibre Pro Players Overgrip (30 Pack)

Better than most
Or better than moist, this is a very good over grip moisture absorbent factor is really top shelf. A lot of thought has gone into the way each and every grip has been made so that uniformity from the packaged state to installing on the handle is very easy. The grips are generous in length and in my opinion better than other market leaders like tournagrip. Being white obviously the grips progressively become more discloured the longer they are on thereby indicating when it's time to change. Staggers me why people who choose black or blue grips leave them on well past the use by date because they are too miserable to change them considering its the only contact players have with their precious equipment. Like most tecnifibre equipment it's aim is for the serious tennis players.

A forensic audit of spending by Brampton Mayor Susan Fennell and councillors has been forwarded to Peel Regional Police, a spokeswoman for the city said Friday.
Brampton's chief administrative officer, John Corbett, initially approached Ontario Provincial Police and the Attorney-General's Office. But they advised him to go to Peel Police first, since the complaint originated in their jurisdiction, spokeswoman Megan Ball said in an e-mail.
However, the mayor of the Toronto-region city, who is running for re-election after representing the city for 14 years, also sits on the police force's civilian oversight board, the Regional Municipality of Peel Police Services Board, raising the possibility of a conflict of interest.
"Should Peel Regional Police determine it does not want to respond to the complaint, the CAO would then seek further direction from the Office of the Attorney-General," Ms. Ball said.
Released last week, the Deloitte Canada audit revealed that Ms. Fennell had broken city spending rules 266 times, inappropriately charging the city $172,608 for pricey hotel rooms, flight passes and IQ quizzes purchased on her cellphone.
At its meeting last Wednesday, Brampton council voted to send the audit to a police force other than Peel Police, because of Ms. Fennell's position on its oversight board.
Ms. Ball said the city is now awaiting a formal response from Peel Police.
Councillor Elaine Moore, who moved the motion asking for a police investigation of the audit, said in a text message Friday, "I respect that there's a jurisdictional protocol and am hopeful that PRP will respect the motion and wishes of Brampton council, and quite frankly the sentiments of the general public given that Mayor Fennell is a member of the police services board and the obvious conflict of interest this presents."
Constable Fiona Thivierge said she had no information about Peel Police having received the audit. "That doesn't mean we haven't, it just means we haven't been told we have it," she said.
Ms. Fennell was cleared of wrongdoing in 10 cases, two of them instances where earlier media reports suggested she inappropriately used city staff for private events and trips to Florida.
There wasn't enough paperwork to determine if $149,955 worth of questionable expenses filed by the mayor breached the city's code of conduct. Most of those expenses pertained to a limousine driving service that cost between $47,000 and $49,000 annually from 2010 to 2013. Ms. Fennell's office could not provide documents detailing what services the company provided, so auditors were unable to determine whether the trips were strictly for city business.
Councillors also broke city rules in some of their expenses, the audit found, such as by buying tickets to events for family members and using corporate credit cards for personal purchases.
Councillor John Sprovieri said he believes the best scenario would be for Peel Police to forward the complaint to the OPP, as the public could be skeptical if a Peel investigation absolves Ms. Fennell of any criminal wrongdoing.
"If it's done outside, by the provincial police, then people can't say anything regardless of what the findings are," he said, adding that he trusts Peel Police Chief Jennifer Evans to make the right call. If Chief Evans decides to investigate the audit's findings in-house, Mr. Sprovieri said Ms. Fennell should take a leave of absence from the board.
Ms. Fennell was unavailable for comment.

Theme for 2017 - The Limits to Growth: Design, Expectation and Reality.
Speculative and critical design looks at ways that speculation and future visions can be used to inform and critique our relationship with technologies and the designed world.Building on our work last year, the Speculative and Critical Design Summer School 2017 takes as its starting point The Club of Rome's 1972 report The Limits to Growth as a way to critique contemporary issues in design, culture and society. Specifically, looking at how proposing and enacting futures builds cultures of expectation that can conflict with reality. In a world of post-truth, fake news and failing economic models and institutions what role does design have as part of the feedback mechanism for models of the future?
We will explore the limits of prediction, modelling, forecasting and systems thinking in shaping the designed world in addition to exploring how narratives of progress are produced and shape material culture.
The 6 day course will establish the major tenants and principles of the speculative and critical design field. You will be invited to enter a dialogue with other designers about the nuances and potential applications of a new cannon of projects and products that aim to inform the contemporary design landscape.
Based in our industry standard design prototyping studios and using London as a base you will take part in practical workshops, carry out field-work in the city and take part in lectures from some of the leading thinkers and makers. Speakers will be announced in due course.
Full Description
Speculative and critical design is now a central part of the current design landscape, working both as an interdisciplinary toolkit and a field in and of itself. It is a vital cornerstone of the contemporary design vocabulary for any established practitioner or student alike. Opening up a space for designers to produce work that critically explores the consequences of mass production, mass deployment and mass communication, speculative and critical design practices are relevant to many forms of contemporary design.
Working with both practice and theory, this course will establish the major tenants and principles of the speculative and critical design field as well as invite participants into a dialogue about the nuances and potential applications of it. Participants will learn how to quickly prototype and demonstrate complex design and technological concepts through the use of design fictions and diegetic prototypes as well as a gain a critical understanding of the limitations and potential of this language as a tool for change.
The course will locate speculative and critical design by exploring key themes of future focused thinking. These include: infrastructure and systems, the anthropocene and network politics.
Topics covered
- An overview of the field of Speculative Critical Design, definitions, key concepts and practitioners
- Overview and discussion of key themes in future thinking - infrastructure and systems, the anthropocene and network politics
- Research techniques and methods for SCD
- Horizon scanning, foresight and methods and tools for future thinking
- Rapid prototyping and conceptualising for SCD
- World-building and narratology techniques for design
- Design fiction methods and media across film, photography, print, models and performance
Course Outcomes
By the end of the course you should be able to:
- Have a concrete and critical understanding of the field of speculative and critical design, its methods, key practices and central principles.
- Be able to conduct future-facing design research and ideation
- Be able to create demonstrative design fiction projects that communicate complex design, technological and socio-cultural ideas
- A completed speculative critical design project in the form of film or prototype
- Possess a new toolkit of techniques and methods for integrating with a range of practices
Who Should Attend
This course is aimed at established practitioners and postgraduate or higher students from a range of disciplines: architecture, art, design, fashion, policy, urbanism, technology, social sciences, media and cultural studies. No particular level of practical or technical experience is necessary but some design experience will be useful.
Advanced. You will be and established practitioner, a recent graduate (post-grad) or current PhD student looking to embed an understanding of SCD and its methods and approaches in your approach to your practice research. You will have a portfolio of design work. If you have any questions about whether the course is suitable for you please contact us.
This course will be taught by:
- Ben Stopher, Director of Interactive and Visual Communication and Course Leader for MA Interaction Design Communication at London College of Communication
- Tobias Revell, Course Leader, BA Information and Interface Design and Course Tutor. BA Interaction Design Arts (formerly Interaction and Moving Image)
- Plus guest academic speakers and industry thought-leaders.

Twitter Chat:
Course tutors Ben Stopher and Tobias Revell answered questions on Speculative and Critical Design - read the Storify Twitter Chat.
"I loved the number of speakers, I didn't expect that you would have so many - every day we had speakers and it wasn't just a different introduction to another aspect of speculative and critical design, but it was a window to all these different practitioners to see how they work and how they think. The accessibility to them, given that how inaccessible this field of study can be, that was pretty cool."
"We had many different people [teaching,] who were all professionals with different perspectives."
"I'm taking with me a deeper understanding. I want to take back what I have learned in the tool kit and apply it in my own personal work."

Ratings for Dr. Jeffrey Y. Lin
An amazingly skilled surgeon, and a sweetheart of a guy. He performed laparascopic surgery on me and I can barely see the scars. I can't recommend him highly enough.
I saw Dr. Lin to have a cyst removed. He is a very skilled, competent, and highly recommended surgeon, and did not push me into anything that seemed unnecessary or extreme (unlike many other gynecologists I have seen). I felt very safe in his hands and trusted his opinions. However, he is very business like and doesn't have much of a "bed-side manner." Moreover, he is VERY difficult to reach and rarely responds to followup questions regarding your condition or upcoming surgery outside of your office appointment time. About half of his staff are very nice but the other half are noticeably unhelpful.
Dr Lin treated me 18 years ago and so when I had a new problem I went back to him. I would highly recommend him. He takes the time to explain options and risk/benefit of those options. I always felt he had my best interest in mind when treating me. I never felt rushed out the door as I have with other physicians. His offfice staff is also kind and efficient.
I have a somewhat rare condition which there has been a lot of research about lately. I'm trying not to judge Dr. Lin too harshly because I went to 2 other doctors before him, and he knew way more than either of them. However, he clearly was not up on all the latest info about my condition. I ended up getting an appointment with the foremost expert on my condition, and she confirmed that Dr. Lin was incorrect in a few things he said to me. On the other hand, Dr. Lin had told me that the answers to quite of few of my questions simply were not known, and he was right on about that. (My previous doctors had given me some statistics that I think they must have just made up spot.) I appreciate a doctor who is willing to admit he is not all-knowing. In addition, Dr. Lin was very comforting and overall made it seem like this was an issue we could successfully deal with. His treatment plan would have been adequate. I would definitely feel comfortable in his care and recommend him to anyone.
Dr. Lin is a very impressive doctor. I went to him because my regular gyn recommended him for a hysterectomy. On my 1st visit, he reviewed the facts, called my gyn for additional information and then developed a "plan." If it was okay with me, we would try all avenues before thinking about surgery. I like that line of thinking. He took a biopsy, did another PAP and gave me a hormone prescription to try for 3 months. Based on the results of the tests he took, and my three months of taking medication, he will determine the way we will proceed. He came across as very caring, very knowledgeable and willing to find the root of the problem before doing surgery. His staff was very helpful and pleasant. I would definitely recommend Dr. Lin to anyone who needs a knowledgeable and understanding gyn/oncologist.
Dr. Lin is excellent. I had a very large fibroid that my previous Gyncologist wasn't able to remove due to the size and location. He was knowledgeable, skillful, effecient and truthful. I would recommend him to any one.
It did take a while for him to see me, but when he did, he provided quite a bit of very useful, relevant information. He answered all my questions and more. And when I asked about some contradictory information I had found in an article, he asked for me to send it to him. While he politely disagreed, he was not opposed to researching more.
I first consulted Dr. Lin in 1992 for cervical cancer. He is extremely knowledgeable, sensitive, respectful, and skilled. He operated and provided excellent follow-up care. I have continued as his patient and benefited from his counsel on issues involved hormone replacement therapy, breast nodules, and other GYN problems. He is personally caring, calling me at home when necessary, and remembering my family and asking about them at each visit. He is one of the finest physicians I have ever encountered.
Suffering from an extended case of post-partum hormone imbalance, I went to see this doctor. When I relayed to him my immediate family's extensive history of certain cancers, he told me I was "wrong"; that I didn't know what I was talking about. !! I also had been advised by other doctors and medical professionals to request a specific (inexpensive and covered by insurance) lab panel as a good first step in diagnosing and treating my problem. I had done some extensive research on this issue and knew that this was a valid request, given my symptoms and complaints. He flatly refused my request for the lab panel, and stated that it was too time consuming and that it wouldn't yield any meaningful results. When I tried to convey the results of my research to him, he and his residents began to badger me about the 'best thing to do for your problem is to see a psychiatrist'.

Over the years, many have dreamed about what a future New York might look like. BBC Future presents the best retro visions of the Big Apple.
New York City has often embodied the cutting edge of urban design; the limited space on Manhattan forced builders to think big. Those first skyscrapers ushered in a new kind of city, and where New York led, others followed.
For decades, artists, architects and writers have tried to imagine what this great city would look like in the future. Some imagined towers that soared into the clouds; others predicted railways that rushed many storeys above the city streets, sharing the skyspace with roaming airships. Monorails zoomed along snaking rails, and giant helicopter airliners disgorged passengers on Manhattan boulevards. Even the humble postman was replaced in one vision – the mail flying to homes in pneumatic tubes.
Many of these fantastical visions failed to make it into real life, but that makes them no less fascinating - they reflect their era's hopes and ambitions. BBC Future took a look through the archives at a brave new Big Apple.

NBA Stars to Raise Money for Obama
President Barack Obama's campaign is putting together a Dream Team of current and former NBA stars to help raise money for the president's re-election effort.
A fund-raiser, billed as the first-ever "Obama Classic Basketball Game," is in the works. The line-up, according to campaign materials, is an eye-popping list of stars that Mr. Obama, a devoted recreational player, would no doubt like to join.
The game will be played in Washington on Dec. 12 at a venue yet to be announced.
The primo game package costs $35,000, which gets a donor "one bench seat & two courtside seats, shootaround with the players before the game, autograph session and meet & greet and dinner with the players following the game," according to campaign materials. A $20,000 contribution "includes two courtside seats, shootaround with the players before the game, autograph session and meet & greet." A simple courtside seat is going for $5,000.
The roster, according to a campaign document, includes Carmelo Anthony of the New York Knicks and Kevin Durant of the Oklahoma City Thunder, as well as former players such as Patrick Ewing, Dikembe Mutombo and Alonzo Mourning. A full list is below…
