I am wondering about having a tummy tuck at the same time as my breast reduction. I am curious as to the cost but really want to know if I would be a good candidate for muscle tightening and skin removal.
Good Candidate for Tummy Tuck?
Doctor Answers 11
Candidate for a tummy tuck
Provided you are medically cleared, you could expect to remove the hanging skin and have a much nicer figure. There appears to be a large amount of tissue hanging down in the pubic area.
You cannot of course expect to have a flat abdomen, even with a tummy tuck, because of the fat inside the abdomen. Any weight loss that occurs before surgery will enhance the results that much more as the fat inside the abdomen melts away. Fat inside the abdomen is a health hazard, so it is worth losing the weight if at all possible.

Tummy tuck
you are a good candidate for liposuction and tummy tuck. If you have a big belly that makes you unhappy and you are not happy about the look of it, if you have experienced skin sagging on your abdominal area after a weight loss, if you are unhappy with the sagged look of your abdominal area after the pregnancy, if you had a liposuction operation and now your belly is sagged; then you can get benefit from a Tummy Tuck operation.
Good candidate?
Thank you for your question and photo! Tummy tuck is an excellent method for shaping the belly and create a flatter and sculpted abdomen after the procedure. Looking at your photos, I do believe that you would be an excellent candidate for this procedure in order to remove the excess skin/soft tissue and stretch marks of your lower abdomen and contour the areas of your belly.
I would highly recommend continued diet and exercise prior to any consideration for body contouring as getting down to your ideal weight prior to the procedure will certainly give you the best results. Also, a continued healthy and active lifestyle will be needed in order to maintain the benefits that the procedure has given to you. Also, I would recommend performing this procedure after you have completed child bearing, as your appearance may return with each pregnancy.
Once you are ready for the procedure, I would likely recommend a full tummy tuck with abdominal wall tightening along with some liposuction to the hips/flanks for additional contouring. You should consult with a plastic surgeon at anytime to go over options and then likely return once you have achieved your ideal weight in order to assist you in deciding which procedure(s) would be right for you. Good luck with your decision!

Tummy Tuck and Breast Reduction During Same Surgery
Yes, from your photo and description it would appear that you are good candidate for a tummy tuck which would muscle tightening and skin removal. Combining procedures like a Breast Reduction makes sense as long as the procedure is not longer than 4-6 hours (Typically for me with the use of a surgical assistant these combined surgeries it would take about 4 hours). Most patients prefer to recover only once and have the benefit of both surgeries.
Make sure you consult with a board certified plastic surgeon and ask about specific risks and benefits of these combined surgeries.
Tummy Tuck
It used to be that a tuck was the only option for a woman with a buldging tummy. Then lipo came along, and we could do a smaller procedure with virtually no scarring. However, people who have especially slack skin in their midsection need more than what lipo can offer. Typical candidates for this surgery are women with drooping abdomens after pregnancy, women and men who've lost a great deal of weight, menopausal women, or older people with loose skin due to age. In the tummy tuck, the skin from the rib cage down to the pelvic area is tightned, and the navel is moved up and secured in a new positon.
Breast reduction and tummy tuck a great combination for Mommy Makeover
Breast reduction and tummy tuck work well together, are a safe combination, and will give you a more balanced figure. The tummy tuck will remove the sagging skin of the lower abdomen from the umbilicus to the pubic area and some (but not all) of your stretch marks will be removed. Usually, the muscles of the abdominal wall have been stretched during pregnancy, and these can be tightened to provide a flatter appearance for the abdomen. However, don't expect a completely flat abdomen as you may have some fat internally that a tummy tuck can't correct. Liposuction helps contour the hips,waist and back areas, and the upper abdomen. Make sure your weight is the best you can make it before surgery to enhance the result of both procedures.
The ideal tummy tuck candidate
An ideal candidate is at or near ideal body weight, has loose skin, and has loose abdominal muscles. A tummy tuck takes care of both of those problems, as well as a bit of extra fat with liposuction that can be done at the same time. In your case, it appears that there is intra-abdominal fat (fat inside the abdomen, around the intestines), and that is not addressed with a tummy tuck. We can only fix what's outside the abdomen. Assuming you are medically safe for such a procedure, a tummy tuck is a reasonable option, so long as you have realistic expectations--you won't be flat after a tummy tuck, but you will have a much better contour overall!
A tummy tuck will give you a much flatter stomach
It looks like your have been pregnant in the past and that has caused the stretch marks and likely significant muscle streatching internally. A tummy tuck would definately help restore your stomach to a much flatter appearance. It is hard to say for sure how much muscle weakness there is from just looking at a picture. During a face-to-face consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon he can advise you of the degree of expected results. While it is always helpful to loose weight first some people just cannot get there on their own. I think you can still have an excellent improvment as long as you have realistic expectations first.
Results of tummy tuck an muscle repair
I concur with Dr. Rand's assessment. It appears as if you have alot of visceral or organ fat. This can be a genetic tendency for the "apple" body type or associated with other conditions such as PCOS. Generally, no matter how aggressive, one treats the muscle laxity, the full belly appearance may persist.
In terms of the tummy tuck, you will achieve reduction in the loose skin and a closer approxi\mtaion of the rectus muscles. However, it is best for you to be closer to your ideal body weight to assess the effect of your weight on the visceral fat component.

A good Tummy Tuck candidate has normal weight
The best time to do any body contouring surgery is when you have achieved an acceptable weight. Not all people will be able to match their weight to the weight charts but if you have gotten to a reasonable weight that you can maintain then this is the best time to do these surgeries.
Your abdomen looks like you would have a nice improvement with a tummy tuck. The recovery can be more difficult and you will require more help. Only you can tell if you are at the weight that is most reasonable for you and that you can maintain. If you lose a significant amount of weight after the procedure you will lose some of the nice results.

New lead managers for 2 Mairs & Power funds, ORIX to buy 90% of Robeco, and Harbor removes Marsico Capital as the subadvisor of Harbor International Growth.
Over the past two-plus weeks, many bond investors have headed for the exits, on the heels of Federal Reserve Bank chairman Ben Bernanke disclosing plans to end quantitative easing.
The news has roiled bond markets, and some of the first flow data that has been released by fixed-income managers show that June was an ugly month for them from a fund-flows perspective.
Among those bond funds feeling major pain is PIMCO Total Return PTRRX, which is the world's largest bond fund. PIMCO recently informed Morningstar that PIMCO Total Return's preliminary net outflows for June were a whopping $9.9 billion. That's about 3.5% of the $285 billion that the fund had at the end of May. The fund slid 2.6% for the month.
Morningstar will release its June fund flows data in another week. To view May 2013 flows data, go here.
Eyeing Bill Frels' Upcoming Retirement, Mairs & Power Taps Lead Managers for Growth and Balanced Funds
Mairs & Power is preparing for the retirement of longtime portfolio manager Bill Frels more than a year from now, on Dec. 31, 2014 (at age 75). Effective July 1, Mark Henneman is lead manager of Mairs & Power Growth MPGFX and Ron Kaliebe is lead manager of Mairs & Power Balanced MAPOX. Frels is moving to a comanager role on both funds.
Both funds have earned 5-star records under Frels' lead, as well as Morningstar Analyst Ratings of Silver. Frels joined Mairs & Power in 1992 and had been lead manager of the Balanced fund since then. He began comanaging the Growth fund in 1999 with George Mairs III, taking over as lead manager in 2004. Frels and Henneman were named Morningstar's Domestic-Stock Fund Manager of the Year in 2012 for their work on the Growth fund.
These are well-laid transitions: Henneman and Kaliebe have been comanagers of their respective funds since 2006, and Frels will be contributing for another 18 months. This is another example of a culture of strong stewardship that has earned Mairs & Power a Parent rating of Positive from Morningstar's analysts.
ORIX to Purchase 90% of Robeco
Japanese bank ORIX Corporation will purchase 90% of Robeco Groep N.V., the asset-management arm of Dutch bank Rabobank.

Violent culture leads to gun use
October 15, 2013
After the recent spate of shootings in Chicago, the police superintendent there observed that "illegal guns create this violence." But I think he got it backward because in my opinion, violence causes illegal guns. Why? Because we promote and subsidize a culture of violence — it is everywhere you look: In movies, TV shows, advertisements, guns are featured and glamorized.
The new video game "Grand Theft Auto" that sold a million units in three days features gun violence on steroids. Guns in this culture are a symbol of power and prestige. They're "cool." But they are also killing machines, and their real source is alienation and fear.
You can lobby, debate and dispute gun legislation until the sun goes down, but there are already 250 million guns in America, and no amount of magazine limit, barrel length or background checks will reduce gun violence in this culture until we remove it from the centerpiece of our "entertainments." Guns are plenty machismo all right, but they also kill 31,000 American each year. When these crazies decide to go on a rampage, what item comes first to mind?

Wow, this is why I posted the question here, the curlies are a wealth of information. Thanks to all.
I am now very suspicious of the hotdog and the deli meat and cheese. She has the deli less frequently than the hotdog, I don't know if that factors in.
The latte was made with instant decaf, hot water, milk,vanilla extract and regular sugar. (could the extract be a problem?)
Apparently, she had a couple sips of Sprite earlier in the day. (Experiment in Science and my genius and her lab partner mixed us the Sprite and water cups. I guess the bubbles weren't enough to be sure which was Sprite?)
Dehydration is always a possibility. We're always suggesting both girls drink more water, but that's hard during the school day. (ugh to school water fountains and they lose water bottles, plus middle school bathrooms are nasty...)
Puberty has been rough on this girl! Epilepsy last winter, migraines this year. At 13 1/2 she hasn't even started getting her period. What will be next?
Thanks again for all the imput.

If i got big breasts implants would the smaller chested woman be jealous? or would the larger chests be jealous?
BRAINS

This is the sexiest part of a woman!

Everything else is ornament.
well being the larger chested woman, i can tell you that i for sure would not be jealous. i would just think to myself that another woman has gone out and paid a lot of money to get what i have naturally. then i would shake my head and walk away... but mad is the last thing i would be
Niether love, fake boobs are FAKE boobs lol, nothing to be proud of.
I think breasts worldwide would unite to hunt you down and pop yours, because they would find you such a threat.
I've seen pictures of real breasts on this wonderful site: http://www.007b.com/breast_gallery.php.

Being small chested is normal. A lot of the women who got breast implants wish they didn't.

Breasts are for feeding infants, not for looking sexy. They aren't even a sex organ. I think we are too hung up on them as a society.
From what I've heard, the other women get really, really catty toward women who have surgical implants.
Speaking as a large breasted woman, I wouldn't be the least bit jealous of someone injected with fake feeling plastic bags that could easily leak and puncture and cause all sorts of health problems, not to mention cut down on nipple sensation.

Fake boobs may be eye catching, but they don't feel good to the person touching them and they don't make sex feel any better for the owner. (so I've been told)
Asks the superficial boob...
i doubt neither would be jealous...more like they'd pity you....
I'm an natural big breasted girl, and i wouldn't be jealous one bit, however, i would feel pity for anyone getting fake breasts.

Besides, why would you want to have fake breasts? your a man....unless your a transexual.
depends how big, i have small breasts myself but youll find in the end it wont change anything. real guys go for brains haha, and if you have huge implants it may take away that perception
I need validation from strangers, before doing body modifications, I would hold off. It's your body, you do what you want with it; but on the other hand, if you are only doing it to please others; best to just hold off and give it some more thought.
****, if they're nice enough, everyone will be.

Duane Manyweather knows all about them.
"The road for me hasn't been easy," he said. "I had my ups and downs as a player and as a coach. At one point, I was working four jobs while coaching at Humboldt just to get by. Sometimes, I'd get two or three hours of sleep at night."
But save your pity. The man known as "Duke" isn't asking for it.
"But it didn't matter. I always knew what I wanted to do," he said.
After playing and eventually coaching football at Humboldt State University -- with a stint at College of the Redwoods sandwiched in between -- Manyweather made the leap to the professional ranks as the director of player personnel for LeCharles Bentley O-Line Performance. The academy -- based in Arizona -- tailors solely to perspective NFL lineman and Manyweather couldn't be happier to be part of the institution.
"It was a no-brainer. I tell you what, I wouldn't even say it's a job," he said. "It's something I enjoy. I can't see myself doing anything else.
"This is something new, something innovative. No other place in the country caters only to offensive line. There's places for quarterbacks and wide receivers, but, no one wants to touch offensive lineman. Once LeCharles shared his vision, it was a no-brainer for me."
The O-line academy isn't a mystery for Humboldt State football fans. Bentley -- a Pro Bowl center during his NFL career -- has played an instrumental role in preparing former Jacks center Taylor Boggs for the NFL.
In fact, it the connection between Boggs and Bentley helped Manyweather link up with the former center.
"Boggs went on to work with LeCharles after his senior year and, in that time, LeCharles and I exchanged emails about different training things with Boggs. I was trying to pick (Bentley's) brain."
Turns out, the Boggs-Bentley-Manyweather dynamic has come full circle.
"When Boggs first came to Humboldt, he asked me who were my favorite O-lineman at each position. I started naming them, Bruce Matthews, Orlando Pace. Boggs asked about center. I told him the two guys I really pay attention to and watch are Kevin Mawae, and, the guy I really like, LeCharles Bentley.
"That was the first thing he told LeCharles. We always hit it off, see eye-to-eye. I always saw things differently from offensive line play and come to find out, LeCharles and I see it the same way."
As co-founder of BeyondtheCombine.com -- an online scouting service of perspective NFL talent -- it was imperative Manyweather possess a keen eye and good judgment on collegiate athletes. Bentley believes Manyweather -- who is also a certified strength and conditioning specialist as well as a USAW certified olympic lifting coach -- has the eye for talent.
"It's a natural fit," Manyweather said. "I've been coaching football for the last six years at the college level, and being a strength coach, this job puts everything I've done into one position."
As director of player personnel, Manyweather will watch film on as many O-lineman as he can and break them down. From the film, phone calls to schools and coaches, Manyweather is expected to provide a report on the pros and cons of said athlete with notes and intangibles.
"I don't care what division," Manyweather said. "I will watch them and break them down. What the coaches say about them, what the media says about them, anything there is to know about them, I will report about them."
Following that, Manyweather will invite the players to train at the academy for the NFL combine. From there, he will assist with the training.
And the academy isn't only for prospects. Manyweather is a true believer in Bentley's work and has only high praise.
"I'm not only scouting college lineman, but NFL veterans," Manyweather said. "We'll ask them, 'Look you may be training, but are you training to become better than you are?' The services we provide, the training, the drills, the nutrition, supplementation, film breakdown, scouting reports, it's priceless."
O-Line Performance clients include the Kansas City Chiefs' Jeff Schwartz, the Cleveland Browns' Mitchell Schwartz and the San Francisco 49ers' Alex Boone, to name just a few.
"LeCharles has been a key reason why my career has taken off the way it has. His approach to training, diet, work ethic and life has impacted me beyond measure," Alex Boone said about the program on the academy's website (olineperformance.com).
Is another participant from Humboldt State in the O-Line Performance's foreseeable future?
"That depends on the athlete," Manyweather said. "A couple of guys inquired about it. But, I won't invite a guy up here unless he is willing to work at a high capacity. It's not lackadaisical. It's an hour and 30 minutes, or sometimes 45, and you're humping it. If I see a guy who's able to fit in the right mold, then definitely it's a no-brainer to recommend those guys."
Already settled in Scottsdale, Manyweather loves to reminisce about the last nine years he spent on the North Coast. And it's the people that made Humboldt special to the Duke.
"Lots of people," he began. " (HSU strength and conditioning) Drew Peterson taught me a lot. He's one of the best in the nation and he allowed me to do this. Mike Cox (head coach) at CR. He helped me a lot as a young coach. And (former CR boss) Dave Banducci, he definitely helped me out. Of course, the Humboldt coaching staff, for allowing me to coach. (Defensive coordinator) Shay McClure taught me a lot of defensive side of the ball. Schematics-wise, he opened everything up."
A self-professed "Jack 4 Life," Manyweather will always keep close tabs on the HSU football team.
"Humboldt has a very bright future as far as football," he said. "They deal with so many obstacles, the coaches do. For them to be able to field a competitive football team year-in and year-out the last six years is outstanding. Once a little more help comes from the top -- administration or boosters for whatever -- that program will be a force to be reckoned with. They're working with very little.
"Let's not sugarcoat it at all, it's 13 to 14 scholarships against teams with 36."

Construction Services manages the District's construction project program.
Project inspectors and materials testing technicians ensure that
work performed by the District, developers and other organizations
meet strict District standards. In addition, the Division performs maintenance inspections
and maintains records on approximately 560 bridge structures and large pipe culverts in
Ada County.
To achieve these objectives, the Construction Section maintains a dedicated team of
technicians to handle the management, inspection, and testing needs for contracts, projects,
and bridges. Professional engineering consultants and private materials
testing companies are utilized to supplement specific needs. This partnership with private
industry helps Construction insure that quality construction takes place on all
District construction projects.
In accordance with a Memorandum of Understanding, Construction Services works closely with the
Idaho Transportation Department Port of Entry and with local city and county law enforcement
agencies in the enforcement of weight, height and width limits on District roads and bridges.
Capital Projects & Inspection
Construction administers and inspects numerous capital construction
contracts issued by the District. This section continues to automate its administrative systems
to include any changes to projects, pay estimates, schedules, and trends.
Construction also continues to work in cooperation with the Idaho Transportation
Department (ITD) by administering federally funded construction contracts that are sponsored
by the District. These projects include railroad crossing improvements, roadway construction,
bridges, and signals.
There are six transportation districts in the state highway department. The local district
is referred to as District III. District III is divided into four regencies that are responsible
for the management of all transportation contracts that the ITD constructs. 15 years ago,
the ACHD entered into an agreement with the Idaho Transportation Department (ITD)
to have the ACHDs Construction Services become a satellite construction Residency by
getting the Inspectors and the materials lab staff qualified by Western Alliance for
Quality Transportation in Construction. Thereby qualifying the ACHD to handle all of the
federally funded construction management contracts that the ACHD sponsors. ACHD's
Construction Services is the only local highway district in Idaho that has this
relationship with the Idaho Transportation Department (ITD)
and the Federal Highway Administration.
Materials Testing
The Materials Testing Section maintains a state-of-the-art, state and WAQTC certified
testing laboratory to support the needs of all District departments. The material lab is
committed to improving the durability and longevity of roadways, through comprehensive
testing and utilizing new technology. The Districts radiation safety program is managed
by this group and has received commendations for its training, record keeping, maintenance,
and enforcement of Nuclear Regulatory Commission requirements.
Keeping the Public Informed
Keeping the public informed about construction activities is always a high priority for
the District. During construction, Construction meets with individuals,
businesses, and organizations to minimize construction inconveniences. Informational
fliers are distributed to keep property owners aware of construction activities. Small
group meetings are conducted to inform and gather citizen comments.

Blotter, Feb. 5, 2014
The Grand Junction Police Department will broadcast a Community Notification meeting at 7 a.m., 12:30 p.m. and 7 p.m. Thursday on Mesa County Cable Channel 12. The meeting will be about a state classified sexually violent predator moving into Grand Junction, according to the Grand Junction Police Department.
The program will last about 20 minutes.
Door-to-door sales warning
The Mesa County Sheriff's Office issued another reminder to area residents Tuesday about the danger of letting strangers, particularly self-proclaimed salespeople, into homes for any reason. Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Heather Benjamin said her office had no reports of new scams but saw a message on Facebook from the Orchard Mesa area about a man claiming to be from a security company trying to gain access to a home.
Benjamin said people disguise themselves with various claims, so the Sheriff's Office recommends people never let anyone into a home no matter what.
Legitimate business people will often be in marked vehicles, wear authorized uniforms, possess business cards and have the name of a supervisor when asked, she said.
Personally, however, Benjamin never answers the door for strangers.
"We recommend you never answer your door if you don't know who is there. Period," Benjamin said. "And, never let (strangers) in your home. Never. Legit business or not, they can leave a brochure at your door and you can follow up later if you are interested."
Drugs in dorm suspected
One man is suspected of distributing a Schedule II narcotic and two other males are suspected of being in possession of a Schedule II narcotic after officers responded Jan. 23, to a Colorado Mesa University residence hall, 1200 Houston Ave., on a report that suspected illegal drugs were inside a room, according to the Grand Junction Police Department.
When officers arrived, they found crushed pills on a table and several students who admitted to taking them. The case was sent to the District Attorney's office for review, the Police Department said.
According to the Grand Junction Police Department:
■ Thomas Alen Gosier, 20, Syracuse, N.Y., was arrested Monday on suspicion of criminal extortion.
■ Alejandro Garcia, 31, California, was arrested Monday on suspicion of possession of a firearm by a previous offender, possession of a controlled substance, possession of drug paraphernalia, driving with an expired license and disregard of a stop sign. Vehicle passenger Alicia Reed, 23, was arrested and released on a summons on suspicion of unlawful use of a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia.
■ Sandra Pacheco, 40, Grand Junction, was arrested Monday on suspicion of harassment and assault.
■ An apartment owner at 132 Gunnison Ave. reported Saturday that someone damaged a coin box on a machine in the facility's laundry room, stealing money from the machine. There is no suspect information.
According to the Mesa County Sheriff's Office:
■ Earl Dee McGarland, 67, Grand Junction, was arrested Monday on suspicion of felony menacing.
■ A dryer at a property in the 500 block of 29 1/2 Road reportedly was damaged Monday when a coin box was stolen.
According to the Garfield County Sheriff's Office:
■ A juvenile reportedly was bitten by a dog Friday, Jan. 31.
■ A sexual assault was reported Saturday in the Parachute area. The case is being investigated.
According to the Montrose Police Department:
■ Martin A. Dominguez-Diaz, 24, Montrose, was arrested Monday on suspicion of possession of an illegal weapon, a protection order violation and violation of bail-bond conditions.
■ The investigation of a sexual offense reported Monday continues.

Glenn Wilson Award for Public Service
The Glenn Wilson Award honors the founding director of the North Carolina Area Health Education Centers Program. Glenn Wilson served as the director of the North Carolina AHEC Program from 1972 to 1977. Wilson assembled the team of faculty to write the initial federal AHEC grant, and was successful in receiving one of the initial 11 AHEC awards in 1971. At that time, the AHEC grant was the largest federal grant ever received by UNC-Chapel Hill. Wilson worked in close collaboration with hospital and other community health leaders at the initial AHEC sites to develop university-community partnerships which remain fundamental to the success of the AHEC Program in North Carolina. In 1974 he successfully led the effort to obtain permanent funding for AHEC, which supported expansion to a statewide program with nine centers and built the AHEC facilities across the state. After leading the AHEC Program through its formative stage in the 1970's, Glenn Wilson stepped down as AHEC Program Director to become the founding chair of the Department of Social and Administrative Medicine, now the Department of Social Medicine, in the UNC School of Medicine.
Initiated in 2006, The Glenn Wilson Award for Public Service pays tribute to Wilson's numerous contributions in founding the North Carolina AHEC Program, his leadership in establishing a structure of partnerships between communities and academic health centers as the basis for the organization of the AHEC Program, and his lifelong commitment to social justice and improved access to quality health care for the state's most vulnerable communities. The Glenn Wilson Award for Public Service will be given to an individual each year who has made significant contributions to improving access to health care for the people of North Carolina.
The following criteria are used in selecting the Wilson awardee:
Has demonstrated leadership in improving access to health care for the people in North Carolina;
Has been involved in teaching health science students either directly or through the work of the individuals' organization;
Has built successful partnerships with other providers to improve health care for communities; and
Has championed improved health outcomes for all North Carolinians, particularly those who are most vulnerable.
2015: David M. Webb, EdD, of Wilson, North Carolina. For his leadership of Area L AHEC and his work to improve health care in North Carolina.
2012: Eugene Maynard, MD of Benson, North Carolina. For his work at the Benson Area Medical Center, with a particular focus on his work with migrant and seasonal farmer workers in Johnston County and the surrounding areas.
2011: George T. Wolff, MD of Greensboro, North Carolina. Educating family physicians to meet the primary care needs of North Carolina communities. Director of the Moses Cone Family Practice Residency program.
2009: Howard Loughlin, MD of Fayetteville, North Carolina. Service to the children of Southern Regional AHEC region, statewide leadership in child advocacy and primary care education, service to the North Carolina AHEC Program.
2007: Olson Huff, MD of Asheville, North Carolina. Developmental Pediatrician, Clinician and Teacher, State and Local Advocate for Children, Mountain AHEC Board Member.
2006: Jane H. McCaleb, MD of Jackson, North Carolina.

According to company officials, it's time to move beyond operating as "one big organization." The move comes after hundreds of layoffs during the summer. To Survive, The Greeting Card Industry Will Have To Get Creative By Frank Morris • Jul 8, 2015 The greeting card industry is struggling to stay relevant in the digital age. Hallmark has announced that it's closing its distribution center in Enfield, Conn., and cutting 570 jobs there, as it consolidates operations elsewhere. For decades, the greeting card maker held a reputation as the type of company where good employees had a job for life. Julie Elliott, Hallmark's PR director, says layoffs, like the ones announced this week, are especially painful. Hallmark Cuts 400 East Coast Jobs, Moves Them To Liberty By Laura Spencer • Jul 8, 2015 Wikipedia-CC Hallmark Cards Inc. announced plans on Tuesday to transfer 400 jobs to Liberty, Missouri, from a distribution center in Enfield, Connecticut. The East Coast site, open since 1952, currently employs 570 people. Recipes From The Annual Hallmark Cookie Exchange By Julie Denesha • Dec 13, 2013 Julie Denesha / KCUR Crown Room Chocolate Crinkles From Marg Wagner, wife of Hallmark artist John Wagner My husband John worked at Hallmark for 40+ years and these were one of my favorite cookies at Hallmark's cafeteria, the Crown Room. When I asked for the recipe, it came in volumes of 20 or 25 dozen. Efforts to reduce the quantity and a few adjustments produced these cookies and we've been enjoying them ever since. [VIDEO] Hallmark Cookie Exchange Feeds Artistic Community By Julie Denesha & Laura Spencer • Dec 13, 2013 Julie Denesha / KCUR Since the mid-1960's, Hallmark Cards Inc. employees, past and present, and their spouses, have gathered each year - not for an exchange of greeting cards, but of cookies. Hallmark, the 103-year-old Kansas City-based company, has about 11,000 employees around the world, including just over 3,000 in the metro area. Donna Moore, a former employee, began working for Hallmark in 1962. She recalls how the event became an annual tradition, mostly for women.

Record number of cherry blossom visitors means record tons of trash
WASHINGTON (WJLA) - With the vast majority of cherry trees now past their peak, one would think the traffic from people and cars would have dropped off as well.
However, even Monday was a chaotic day in the district as more people showed up to view the blossoms.
Traffic around the Tidal Basin snarled throughout the day Monday, and it wasn't much better on the sidewalks.
Sarah Metcalfe and her two sons decided to see the sites on bikes - a move they later regretted, they told ABC7.
"It's been a little bit crazy," she said. "I think we are just ready to give up and go do he Washington monument and head for home."
Maryland resident Dominique Charleston said, " It took me an hour to park my car. Just to get around - one hour."
Monday's crowds, while impressive, paled in comparison to the massive number of visitors who jammed the area this past weekend, though.
How packed was it? Heaps of trash piled everywhere can tell that story.
With most trash cans overflowing, crews had a tough time getting a handle on all the garbage that accumulated.
National Park{ }Service officials told ABC7 this weekend's trash load rivaled the 27 tons they collected last fourth of July. Ask the field crews, and they'll say it was worse.
But, in credit to those hard-working crews, most grassy areas around the Basin and Mall Monday were cleared of trash by mid-day.
"I'm amazed at, given 1.2 million people, they were able to get it this clean," said visitor Nelson Parker.

Did Coloradans legalize the retail sale of marijuana mainly to serve tourists and visitors?
You begin to wonder after reading a state study on "Market Size and Demand for Marijuana in Colorado" and scouring the latest tax-collection reports.
It's not just that 90 percent of retail sales of marijuana in mountain resorts so far have been to out-of-staters, as well as almost half of all such retail sales in the state and 44 percent of those sales in the Denver metro area. Many of Colorado's heaviest marijuana users, meanwhile, appear to be quite happy sticking with medical pot, which they were able to obtain long before Amendment 64.
Medical pot is cheaper (7.62 percent sales tax in Denver as opposed to 21.12 percent at retail outlets) and more widely available. And while it requires a doctor's permission, that has been notoriously easy to secure.
Heavy users — those who consume marijuana every day — "drive almost 70 percent of total marijuana demand," the Department of Revenue study says. No wonder medical marijuana sales dwarfed retail sales in the first four months of this year — $133 million vs. $70 million — while tax revenues from retail pot are lagging far behind projections.
Ninety-four percent of medical pot users cite "severe pain" as their condition. You too might discover severe pain requiring treatment if your marijuana habit was costing so much.
"It was initially thought that medical marijuana patients would purchase marijuana in the retail market, but it is increasingly clear that this conversion will not occur as long as the large price differential persists and as long as retail marijuana is not available in as many jurisdictions as medical marijuana," the state study concludes.
But if medical marijuana patients aren't converting in Denver, where retail pot is readily available, why should we suppose they will convert anywhere else given more retail shops?
Price and availability may not be the only reasons for medical marijuana's unexpected resilience, either. The fact that medical and retail pot establishments are allowed to co-locate on the same premises — in apparent violation of Amendment 64 — no doubt has propped up medical sales, too.
It's all but forgotten now, but the amendment passed in 2012 said, "Nothing in this section shall be construed to permit any medical marijuana center ... to operate on the same premises as a retail marijuana store."
And yet thanks to the legislature's decision to flout the constitution, co-location is actually the norm.
The governor's task force on Amendment 64 last year recommended "complete" physical separation between the two types of stores, but lawmakers approved rules saying medical and retail shops could share the same space so long as there were no sales of medical marijuana to patients under 21.
The result in Denver, according to the city's executive director of marijuana policy, Ashley Kilroy, is that 85 of the city's 90 retail stores sell both medical and retail pot, and just 21 have separate entrances and facilities.
Given this state of affairs, dreams of a tax bonanza from retail marijuana may have to be put on hold. Heavy users drive marijuana sales and they have a strong incentive to use cheaper medical marijuana. And marijuana store owners have no incentive to convert solely to retail sales given the convenience of operating both types of outlets.
But at least we've made the tourists happy with our new retail shops.

Simon Cowell ''pushed'' Cheryl Cole into the US version of 'The X Factor' and she ''never actually wanted'' to appear on the show.
Simon Cowell "pushed" Cheryl Cole into the US version of 'The X Factor'.
The TV mogul took the 'Promise This' singer with him from the UK to the new US edition of the show, but she was left "shocked and stunned" after bosses at TV network Fox gave her the axe after just four days.
Cheryl had reportedly planned her whole year around the show, but is now back in the UK and left devastated.
A friend told the News Of The World newspaper Cheryl had said to them: "I never actually wanted to do the American show, I'm not a TV star. I had so many reservations, but he pushed me into doing it. He told me I'd be a star over there.
"And then he didn't give me a chance to prove myself. I was gone after four days. I have no idea what I'm going to do now. My life has been turned upside down. They have treated me really badly."
Simon said yesterday (28.05.11) he feels "guilty" over what has happened, but insisted his "hands were tied" by executives at Fox.
Cheryl is currently in London with her mother, and said to be refusing to take calls from Simon about returning to the UK version of the show. She has told friends she may even take a break from all TV work.
The source added the Girls Aloud star had said: "A big part of me wants to disappear. I Love my family and friends. I'll be ok without working for a while.
"'X Factor' isn't my world. It's not the be-all and end-all of my career."
Meanwhile Paula Abdul â who sits on the US panel of the show alongside Simon and music executive La Reid â wants to remain friends with Cheryl.
She said: "All I can tell you is that she is lovely and I was really excited about the relationship and Friendship we were forging.
"And regardless I am really looking forward to continuing that. She's wonderful."

The intriguing and ponderous Tree of Life
Brilliant yet maddening, skillful yet pretentious, Terrence Malick's The Tree of Life is a polemic work if ever there was one. At once an examination of a Texas family during the 1950s, the film juxtaposes their trials alongside images of the heavens and earth being created, a brief glimpse of dinosaurs and perhaps the awakening of compassion. There are scenes in which the presence of God is questioned as is the value of faith, concluding with the director's vision of the afterlife. This is heavy lifting, and it has its rewards. Malick not only dares to take on these heady subjects but also leaves us with more questions than answers where they're concerned.
Composed of shots of the cosmos intercut with images from today and flashbacks to the 50s, the film's narrative focuses on Jack O'Brien (Sean Penn), a disgruntled architect, adrift in a cold urban setting, ruminating on his childhood. We catch glimpses of him playing with his two brothers, Steve and R.L. (Tye Sheridan and Laramie Eppler), see him dealing with his domineering father (Brad Pitt), find refuge with his kind mother (Jessica Chastain) and endure all manner of growing pains which will ultimately have a profound effect upon him.
Malick strays from a traditional narrative structure as much as he dares and the result is a cascade of Jack's random memories. This is an intriguing and effective technique. I couldn't help but find myself recalling similar events in my own childhood, which drew me into the story and helped me empathize with young Jack in a far greater way than could a story told chronologically. Most intriguing is the father, played by Pitt in a strong, understated manner, who finds himself torn between following his own dreams and providing for his family, which leads to nothing but frustration. On the other hand, the mother is far more religious and finds in religion a place of refuge where she can hide from her unhappiness, though this is tested when an unspeakable tragedy befalls the O'Briens.
The Tree of Life will leave many angry, others rapt with the questions it poses and probably all those who take a chance on it (and you should) eager to discuss its merits and faults, themes and ponderings. Whether it's a good or bad film is beside the point, as those are relative terms, personal decisions and matters Malick himself could give two hoots about. The point is that the film does what any great art should, which is prompt those who see it to think. That this is a radical notion for film at the dawn of the 21st century is to our shame. Thankfully, Malick hasn't forgotten that art is intended to provoke and he's brave enough to use the cinema in this way.

I´ve been wanting to do a tt with muscle repair for 2. years and finally it´s on september 11th. I´m 39 y.o and a mother of 4 children at the age 18, 14, 10, 2 1/2, I´ve been trying to get in shape for 2 years with the help of an personal trainer and my belly is my maine issue, it´s always the same even if I eat right, doing weigh lifting 3 times a week, cardio 3 times a week, and darn it´s still here!

That didn't last long. The Abbott government's commitment to a new era of free speech turned out to be as bogus as its taxpayer-funded expenses for partying on at wedding receptions.
Under the new administration, not even ministers have the freedom of speech to do media interviews without first getting permission from the Prime Minister's office – a rule imposed by control freaks.
This is a repeat of the errors of the first Rudd government, when the prime minister's staff acted as a filter on the basic functions of the executive – a degrading process for MPs who have been waiting years to turn their shadow-ministerial pronouncements into action.
With the authoritarian streak in Abbott's office, ministers have lost the freedom to act and speak for themselves.
Veil of secrecy
Micro-management has also infected the new government's approach to border protection. In its determination to control the flow of information about boat arrivals, week-long delays have been imposed on the public's awareness of people smuggling. As the former minister
It's not only the new immigration minister,
Add to this list a fourth act of censorship: the plan by agriculture parliamentary secretary
In its first month in office, the Coalition has moved to close down dissent and deny access to important information. Buoyed by the exaltation of power, the Liberal Party has been anything but liberal.
The hard-right hunting pack
This is not surprising for anyone who has been watching the emergence of Northern European cultural norms in Australian right-wing politics. A significant number of ministers and conservative commentators come from this autocratic political background.
Here I'm thinking of the Coalition's hard-right hunting pack, a group of activists who share climate change denialism, a strong interest in race issues (especially concerning Muslims) and a determination to police what they see as the integrity of Western values.
While they claim to be libertarians, in practice they want an active role for government in enforcing their prejudices, in moulding society in the image of their ideology.
Often, they argue for dissenting points of view to be silenced. If they were true libertarians they wouldn't be so deeply involved in collective organisations such as parties, governments and large corporations.
On his Herald Sun blog, Bolt censors his reader's comments, falsely blaming the Australian Press Council for this practice. He has even called for this body to be abolished – a loss of freedom for anyone who wants to complain about newspapers.
In the electronic media, Bolt is no less authoritarian. He has banned critics from his TV program. Last year, after condemning
The Abbott government is following the hunting pack's lead – imposing an unwelcome, restrictive foreign influence on Australian politics.

Flood's oil, gas impacts assessed as setbacks call is renewed
The industry and regulators are continuing to evaluate the extent of damage to oil and gas facilities on Colorado's flooded Front Range as some are renewing calls for the state to impose drilling-related setback rules to protect waterways.
Tisha Schuller, president and chief executive officer of the Colorado Oil & Gas Association, told the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission today that all wells known to have been affected by flooding have been shut in, and she knows of two empty and floating tanks.
But she added, "We know of tanks that have been unmoored and breakage of the lines that run to them."
Numerous photos of flood-affected oil and gas facilities have been posted on social media. COGCC director Matt Lepore said his agency intends to act as a clearinghouse about flooded facilities and what companies are doing about them, and to reach out to companies with sites in flooded areas to learn more about their status.
Mike King, executive director of the state Department of Natural Resources, told the COGCC that the state's focus for now continues to be finding stranded people. But he said his department and the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment "in short order" will be dealing with any environmental contamination and remediation of facilities causing it.
The CDPHE today warned people to avoid contact with floodwater that could be contaminated by chemicals from homes and from oil and gas and other industries.
The COGCC undertook a major rules overhaul in 2008. But with the exception of setbacks to protect municipal water supplies, it put off the controversial issue of waterway setbacks, intending to address the matter in 2009.
"Here it is four years later and it still hasn't been done. That's why we're allowing more and more oil and gas facilities to be right next to rivers and streams," said Matt Sura, an attorney working on oil and gas issues.
Tresi Houpt, an oil and gas commissioner during the 2008 rulemaking and a former Garfield County commissioner, said even good setback rules wouldn't have provided protection from the extreme floods that hit the Front Range.
"But I think that it is really important that we learn from this and it is another good reason to make sure that we do have appropriate setbacks in place along our waterways," she said.
She noted non-flooding oil and gas contamination problems that have beset Divide and Parachute creeks in Garfield County, not to mention how close to the Colorado River drilling has occurred.
"A much smaller weather event could put those waterways at risk if flooding occurred," she said.

Miners strike over pay, work conditions
Hundreds of miners at the Tahmoor Colliery will continue their industrial action this week amid an 18-month dispute over pay and conditions at the mine.
The miners walked off the job for 24 hours on Friday and have vowed to work two hours a day each day this week.
An Xstrata spokesman says it is disappointing, but what workers are asking for will make the operation unviable.
Meanwhile, the company maintains its operation in the Southern Highlands is still under question despite the change in parliamentary leaders.
Xstrata has confirmed Tahmoor is among several projects still under systematic review in light of the proposed mining super profits tax.

Design & Usability
The W710's physical design is plain as plain can be, except for a chrome bezel surrounding all the edges.
The camera's surfaces are smooth but a bit slippery. This makes the camera really easy to get in and out of pockets, but more difficult to handle confidently once it's out. The rear control scheme is simple enough to serve as a Fisher-Price My First Digital Camera learning tool, and all the buttons are legible and clear. The directional pad has solid tactile feedback; in fact, it's easy to navigate the entire menu with just one hand.
Unfortunately, the menu itself is very sluggish and suffers from poor design. We like the way Sony's quick menus work, but the W710 lacks the processing power to render the menu as quickly as we want to use it. The main menu is also adequate, but it's only accessible from the bottom of the quick menu overlay, so you have to page through (slowly) to get to it.
Images are reviewed on an ugly, low resolution rear monitor. But unlike the Sony TF1, which we recently checked out, the menu does not contain an option to increase the quality of the on-screen image at the expense of battery life.
Image quality is clearly entry-level.
We had a chance to examine sample photos straight out of the W710. Sharpness is bad (especially in the corners of the image) and chromatic aberration is abundant all over, but noise performance isn't nearly as bad as we expected—even at moderately high sensitivities.
Adding to the W710's overall lack of speed is very noticeable shutter lag; more often than not, the camera waits juuuuust until you're sure it's taken then shot, then fires the shutter. Unbelievably, the shutter lag actually isn't as bad as the Cyber-shot TF1's, but it's still unacceptable.
It's pretty ridiculous to nitpick a 100-dollar point-and-shoot...
Sure, the sensor is a bargain bin CCD, but based on the spec sheet, this camera ought to have more than enough performance and a simple enough design for its segment of the market. But leave it to us to find a deal-breaking complaint. Although this is a cheap camera, shutter lag of this severity is never okay. If Sony doesn't fix this issue before release, we won't be able to recommend the Cyber-shot W710, even at $99.
Even as recently as a few years ago, it would've been hard to predict a single Benjamin could buy a 16-megapixel sensor with HD video recording capabilities. Offering just that sort of package, the Cyber-shot W710 is a simple camera for a specific kind of consumer. There's nothing wrong with a no-frills camera, and in fact that's precisely the point here. But this time, Sony's cost-cutting efforts might have gone too far.

Canadian woman found guilty of crash after stopping to save ducks
A 25-year-old Quebec woman was found guilty of causing a fatal crash because she was trying to rescue a group of ducks on the side of the road.
Emma Czornobaj was found guilty of criminal negligence causing death and dangerous driving causing death. In 2010, Czornobaj parked her Honda Civic in the left lane of a highway to try to save the ducklings.
Seconds later, a motorcycle crashed into her car. The motorcyclist, 50-year-old Andre Roy, and his 16-year-old daughter Jessie died of injuries suffered in the crash.
"What we hope is, a clear message is sent to society that we do not stop on the highway for animals. It is not worth it," said prosecutor Annie-Claude Chasse.
"My feelings are it's time that we go on. This will not bring my loved ones (back)," said Pauline Volikakis, wife and mother of the victims.
The defense called the incident an unfortunate accident throughout the case, saying Czornobaj was not under the influence of alcohol or drugs and wasn't speeding. Her attorney plans to appeal.
"I'm not sure in Canada you can be found guilty of a crime with that short proof of an intent," said attorney Marc Labelle.
Suggested Links
CBC News reported Czornobaj told police she didn't see the ducklings mother around, so she planned to take them home.
Sentencing is scheduled for August 8, the defense plans to appeal.

Ag Day inspires future farmers, ranchers, producers
American agriculture is responsible for providing the necessities of everyday life ... food, fiber, forests and even fuel. That's the message of National Ag Day, which was celebrated March 27, 2009 in Park Rapids.
Producers, agricultural associations, corporations, government agencies and many others across Hubbard County came together to celebrate the abundance provided by agriculture at the Park Rapids Century School.
The National Ag Day program is committed to increasing public awareness about American agriculture. As the world population soars, there is even greater demand for the food, fiber and renewable resources that the United States produces.
County 4th graders learned about the life of an RDO Agronomist from William Mack, the importance of animal welfare from Ken Kalish of Carma Llama Rescue, dairy production by Leo and Lynn Gartner, hog production from Tod, Renee & Tanner Becker and Ron James of Becker Farms.
Youth were also introduced to the available services of Prairie Lakes Coop by Tyler White and the NRCS by Russ Johnsrud. The students also had the opportunity to learn about the county 4-H program from Jill and Hannah Arvik.
Each year, the Ag Day program gathers members of the agricultural industry in an effort to promote American agriculture. Focused on sharing how agriculture provides almost everything we eat, use and
wear on a daily basis, the National Ag Day program helps educate millions of consumers each year.
Haugen is 4-H program coordinator for Hubbard County.

Message from space for Olympic athletesFrom one international cooperation to another, the crew of the International Space Station (ISS), American William McArthur and Russian Valery Tokarev, yesterday congratulated the Olympic athletes gathered in Turin, Italy, for the closing ceremony of the 20th Olympic Winter Games.
In a special message played to athletes and spectators gathered in the Stadio Olimpico, McArthur and Tokarev, the ISS Expedition 12 crew, applauded the accomplishments of the world's athletes who competed in the 2006 Winter Games. "From hundreds of kilometers above the Earth, we have been watching the performances of the athletes with excitement and admiration," said Station Commander McArthur.
The crew, who have lived on board the Station since October last year, also praised the spirit of international cooperation that brought the Games to Italy. "It is the same spirit of international cooperation that created and sustains the International Space Station," added McArthur. A joint project of fourteen nations on four contintents, the Space Station contruction mirrors the global nature of the Games. McArthur: "We are working together in extending humanity beyond Earth to return to the Moon and, to one day, explore Mars."
Olympic host nation Italy, one of ten European nations represented by ESA in the ISS partnership, also has a prominent role in construction of the Station. The host city Turin is actually the birthplace of some important components of the ISS.
Elements including the shell of the European Columbus module, the ISS resupply modules - the Multi-Purpose Logistics Modules (MPLM) - carried within the Space Shuttle's cargo bay, Nodes 2 and 3 and Cupola, the Station's 'window on the world', were constructed in the Olympic city. Further Italian ISS activities include the continued provision of enginering and logistic support to MPLM operations from the Turin-based Advanced Logistical Technology Enginering Centre (ALTEC) Space Centre.
In recognition of the host nation's role in the construction and operation of the ISS, there was a special word from Tokarev, "We would especially like to congratulate Italy for organising the Games and for its contributions to the Space Station project".
Before signing off with an Italian "Arrivederci", McArthur and Tokarev, who will return to Earth in just over a months time after being replaced by the next international crew, wished all involved in the Olympics the best of luck with their future endeavours.

if your child's teeth grew in with a gap, did the gap close when his/ her other teeth came in?
Makenna has a big gap inbetween her two front teeth!
But when I was little I had a HUGE gap but once my molars came in and what not the gap closed and now I don't have even the smallest of gaps.
My dentist said its actually better if theres a gap in baby teeth, he said that means there will be room for the permanent teeth to come in properly.
My son Kareem had a pretty nice sized gap in his teeth when they were baby teeth. Now he has incredibly lined teeth(permanent teeth)
The Dentist actually said that it's better for baby teeth to have some room so that the permanent teeth have more room to grow into since they are wider.
Quoting Barfy McVomitron:
here is my bebe's gappy toothed smile!
I asked this same question :D Hayden has a nice gap between his front two teeth and even the rest of his teeth are gapped (although not as much).
Mine never did :(
his bottom teeth are coming in crooked.
his dad has really bad crooked teeth, and i had a gap that was closed by wearing braces. i'm just scared that Ethan is going to have a messed up grill! lol
